The item for consideration, discussion and/or action of the

Administrative Law Judge’s Proposed Decision regarding the reduction

in services of certificated employees was pulled during adoption of the

agenda.

President Chavez asked if the other Board members would be

able to attend a special meeting for this item on May 9.

Board Member Garcia asked the Board attorney if it would be

possible to participate in the meeting via teleconference.

Attorney Duran provided that could be done as long as a

majority of the Board was congregated within the District; the Brown

Act required only a 24-hour notice for posting of such a special meeting

and that it was likely the agenda would not be posted until the

Administrative Law Judge decision was received. The Brown Act also

allows members to participate using video or teleconferencing

however the location had to be accessible to the public, the agenda

had to note that a Board member would be participating remotely and

from what location, the agenda had to be posted at the remote

location, and any vote taken had to be done by roll call.

There was consensus by the Board to set the meeting for 6:30

p.m. on May 9, 2012.

Comments

Board Member Garcia addressed the parents and teachers who

had spoken regarding Preschool; it was a sad situation that teachers

had received pink slips and done not because they wanted to make

those decisions, it was a shame that the State had continued to cut

funding to education and she planned to bring a resolution regarding

the issue of funding to a future meeting. She offered a correction to Mr.

Bruce that they (the Board Members) were not employees of the District;

the Superintendent was an employee of the district and sometimes

called upon to make difficult decisions and Mr. Bruce’s comments could

be construed as disrespectful.

Board Member Hawthorn commented on an article regarding

health rebates from Kaiser Permanente and asked if the District might

see a rebate from providers. Mr. Alvarez responded those were more for

individual families and small businesses. Mr. Hawthorn then commented

on the Board workshop held the previous Sunday, it was the best since

he had been on the Board, it outlined what would be done to support

learning and the nine essential components. The Board had made it

clear they would support Administration in this, in a year all administrators

would be trained to provide fair evaluations and when things were in

place expectations for site administrators and teachers would be very

clear. He saw the next couple of years holding great promise of

academic achievement and success and thanked all those who took

the time to attend and present at the workshop.

Board Member Binks thanked those who made the Relay For Life

a success, shared that she had attended the PTA Honorary Awards

Dinner and that she also had enjoyed the Sunday workshop; it was really

worthwhile. She noted that at the previous meeting Board Member

Garcia had taken her to task and she was right, she (Board Member

Binks) should not have voted on the contract for the City to provide an

after school program as that item was also tied to the contract for the

Boys and Girls Club. She (Board Member Garcia) knew what she was

doing, and she (Board Member Binks) was not trying to be spiteful but

was caught up in what she thought needed to be done to make things

right with the City and it slipped by her. She apologized to the people

who had elected her, the Boys and Girls Club and Administration; she

would never have done that on purpose and truly wanted to apologize.

She then said she had gotten to thinking, Board Member Garcia had

wanted her to be reprimanded and did a pretty good job herself. Board

Member Binks continued that she got to thinking about something that

really needed reprimanding; a Board Member had called a group of

top administrators together while the Superintendent was away then at

the end of the meeting gave a finger shake and told them that if they

told anyone including the Superintendent about the meeting they would

lose their job. Board Member Green had made her aware and wanted

her to do something about it.

Attorney Duran requested and received recognition by President

Chavez to speak; he cautioned Board Member Binks about where the

discussion appeared to be going out of the protective feeling he had for

staff, the Board and the District. Board Member Garcia asked for

clarification from Board Member Binks that she was not talking about her

or whoever because that was defamation; she was gaveled for being

out of order by President Chavez. Attorney Duran offered that Board

Member Garcia recognized the role of the Chair in such a meeting and

when the President called a person out of order they were out of order

unless the Board as a body took a vote to overrule the decision, if she

would like she could ask for a vote of the Board to consider that she was

not out of order and provide her the opportunity to speak, but where the

conversation was going was not good for anyone. He understood her

(Board Member Garcia’s) fervor but was trying to keep them out of

trouble; if the discussion went anywhere with three members talking

about an issue that seemed to be very sensitive and personnel related it

would not be good for anybody and not good for the District. He asked

Board Member Garcia if she wished a vote on the question of her being

out of order for the President could entertain. Board Member Garcia

stated she simply would like the board member to acknowledge she

was not talking about anyone on that side (of the dais) because it was

not true; President Chavez again gaveled and called her out of order.

Attorney Duran continued that he was not hearing Board Member

Garcia asking for a vote on the question of her order, and respectfully

asked Board Member Binks to wrap up her comments.

Board Member Binks commented that Board Policy stated the

Board President would call the attorney yet other Board members called

knowing that it was violation of the policy; by their own admission made

public a few meetings previously that he was called and why, which

again was a violation because they also had a policy on how to have

items placed on Board agendas and she thought there should be a

fairness when someone was accused of violating Board Policy. She

thought Board Member Green’s platform when running for office was to

get rid of her (the Superintendent) and do away with tyranny; she

agreed but thought they were looking for tyranny in the wrong place.

President Chavez thanked Primrose Elementary School for the

bulletin board displays in the room, congratulated the employees who

had received awards at the meeting, thanked Ms. Segal and

administrators for hosting and attending the CAFFS event, thanked the

Relay For Life Chair for all of her hard work, and recognized the PTA for

hosting its annual Honorary Service Awards Dinner. She spoke of

attending the City’s farmers market and encouraged people to support

Fontana all they could and thanked folks for coming together.

Board Member Garcia left the meeting.

President Chavez noted that while she was at the CABE

conference earlier that day she had been partnered with someone who

was an amazing person and she hoped to bring him to the District

someday. President Chavez had been asked to speak at the

conference about empowering parents; she brought up Project Inspire,

getting involved, volunteering, and wanted to add come to Board

meetings, ask questions and see why things happened.

Superintendent Olsen-Binks commented on being in graduation
