[0:35] So I sent a seat now out today, but a lot of people don't check you now as in the summer, so I'm going to read it here.

[0:43] And yeah, we'll go for that. So it is with great sadness that I share the passing of one of our beloved retired teachers, Jeanette Perry.

[0:51] Janet passed away early this Wednesday morning at approximately 4am following a battle

[0:57] of rare and aggressive cancer that was going in and around her heart.

[1:04] After months of health challenges following heart valve surgery,

[1:09] last November she was informed

[1:12] earlier this week that hospice care would be needed, tragically she passed, she went peacefully

[1:17] be entered sleep at home before hospice services could even begin.

[1:22] Genet was just five day shy of her 76th birthday, and two days away from celebrating her

[1:29] 49th wedding anniversary with her husband Phil.

[1:33] Throughout her years in Wheaton School District, Genet touched the lives of countless

[1:36] students, families, and colleagues, her dedication, kindness, and commitment to serving

[1:42] our schools left the lasting impact on our district community.

[1:45] She proudly served the Wheatland School District as a special ed teacher for years and we're thinking it was in the 30-plus range years and

[1:57] Not quite sure how many years ago she retired, but because I don't have that information at hand, but she was here for a long time and her contributions will never be forgotten.

[2:08] I had the great opportunity of working with both Janette here in the Wheatland School District and her husband Phil in the University Unified

[2:15] And the one thing I can remember is they both had a profound positive impact on the student

[2:21] say, sir.

[2:22] Our hearts are with Phil, their family, and all of those who had privilege of knowing

[2:27] her and working alongside Janette.

[2:30] Phil was a devoted caregiver throughout Janette's recent health struggles, and we extend

[2:38] our deepest console with his to him and the entire family.

[2:41] generally. Jeanette is also the sister of another great teacher we had here in Wheatland,

[2:47] Mary Ann Miller. She spent many years as well impacting the lives of students just like

[2:52] her sister. For those who would like to send a card or a note of support the family can

[2:58] be reached and if you want that address I can get it to you. In honor of Jeanette's life

[3:03] in service I would ask the board to observe a moment of silence before during the next

[3:09] Please keep the Perry family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this profound loss.

[3:21] I'm going to have a moment of silence, please.

[3:43] I'm going to change.

[3:44] I never do have anything you'd like to share tonight.

[3:47] I do.

[3:48] No, you okay?

[3:49] You don't have to.

[3:50] We're just.

[3:56] Yep.

[4:05] Thank you.

[4:06] Thank you.

[4:16] Thank you.

[4:21] 2.1.

[4:22] 2.0.

[4:23] 2.0.

[4:24] So this is what we went over on Tuesday.

[4:29] I did the board presentation on the TV.

[4:32] The health cap is written every year.

[4:35] It typically follows the year before.

[4:37] We have to put in there what the goals are,

[4:40] how we've done on the previous goals

[4:42] and put money with our goals.

[4:44] And so I went through all of that on Tuesday

[4:47] and I'm bringing it forward again today

[4:49] for the approval of the LCAP,

[4:52] the local indicators,

[4:53] which I will have to send off to the state dashboard

[4:57] on Monday and then the federal agenda,

[4:59] which we have to do because in California we don't follow all of the federal rules

[5:04] and so we have to do an amendment. So I'm asking for approval for a 2.1

[5:08] the L-CAP before.

[5:12] And there are any questions, comments, concerns.

[5:15] We have a motion to accept 2.1, please.

[5:18] Summons.

[5:19] And a second.

[5:22] I'll second it.

[5:23] Thank you.

[5:24] on the paper.

[5:26] I.

[5:27] Opposed.

[5:27] 2.1 passes.

[5:29] 2.2 approval of the 2627 budget, 2526, estimated actual budget provisions.

[5:37] So honored went through this in depth on Tuesday night, and it's been posted on the

[5:42] website as well as on our agenda here.

[5:46] It is a 2627 budget based on the May revise, so May 15th, it's not based on the rest of

[5:54] information that will have by the time the legislation and the governor agree, which will be hopefully by June 30th.

[6:01] If there's any significant changes, then on a will bring a 45 day change to you in August.

[6:11] But most likely, well I can't say most likely, because they're really talking like the money has gone up quite a bit, because of stocks, AI, all that kind of stuff.

[6:23] So I think there'll be some significant one-time only money is coming forward, so you'll see how that goes in August, and then you'll have the first interim report in September, which will kind of move the major changes.

[6:40] So I bring that forward to you for your approval.

[6:45] Any questions?

[6:46] I did send it for those that were not at the board meeting on Tuesday.

[6:51] I did send you the LCAP presentation and on us presentation on the budget.

[6:57] So you saw it, everybody else saw it.

[6:59] Thank you.

[6:59] I just have a comment.

[7:01] I just want to say thank you for your presentation and the other night after I went home and

[7:05] really went through it again, you know, and the different things you told us to look at in

[7:10] different columns and stuff.

[7:11] I really appreciated your presentation and I think it's starting to think the communication

[7:18] has really was really good the other night and so I just wanted to thank you for that.

[7:25] So after I dissected everything, I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your presentation.

[7:51] So we have a prop 28 money which is music and drama kind of money and we have not spent any of it, because we have been unable to find a music teacher, but and was able to find one the start next year.

[8:08] So, Ana has used some of this prop 28 money to provide the salary and that particular individual.

[8:16] So, the report that you'll get next year will show that we are spending the prop 28 money.

[8:21] But we have to report it every year.

[8:23] And so, if you look at it, it's zero across the board right now.

[8:28] That's super exciting.

[8:34] Any other questions?

[8:36] Comments?

[8:36] Returns?

[8:37] In the head of motion to accept?

[8:40] We, 2.3 of people of the Prop 28 court views.

[8:43] So, in a second?

[8:47] All those in favor?

[8:48] I think.

[8:49] Opposed?

[8:50] Hey, Prop 28 and all the court.

[8:52] So, you go.

[8:53] Approval of the provisionary internship permits the IP.

[8:58] So, the, the PIP permit is for

[9:01] or in terms, it's called the Provisional Internship Permit.

[9:06] It allows an employing agency like a school district

[9:10] to fill a staffing opening by hiring an individual

[9:15] who is not met all of the subject matter competencies,

[9:19] yet, and requires the requirement needed

[9:24] to enter an internship program.

[9:27] So the law says that the employing agency must verify

[9:30] that a diligent search has been made for a fully credentialed teacher cannot be found.

[9:37] We use this mostly in special ed, but occasionally in other areas.

[9:42] But it's a year to year agreement, and the intern that is higher is the permit is only

[9:49] good for a year, and then they have to do something different, hopefully in that year they

[9:55] see their credential. So we have to break the board for approval every year.

[10:03] How often do we have

[10:05] an intern is it a significant amount of time or are we finding qualified people and not having

[10:11] to use this except for an extreme cases? Yeah, like I said, I think the only interns that I remember

[10:20] are having in the last few years of a special education.

[10:23] There are some possibilities now of having interns in TK

[10:28] because of the requirement for ECE units,

[10:31] as well as a credential.

[10:33] Most of our teachers, they get their multiple subject credentials,

[10:36] do not do the ECE units.

[10:38] So sometimes you have to find an intern for that,

[10:42] so they can complete the ECE units as well as their credential.

[10:45] But other than that, I would say you're not going to use it.

[10:48] unless it's a single subject that you just can't find anybody.

[10:56] And so we do have some.

[11:09] And the

[11:12] other

[11:19] thing

[11:49] I think that is important to say is that sometimes you get applicants

[11:53] that are credentialed and you don't want to hire them because your background shows

[11:58] that they're really not the person that would fit into our district.

[12:01] And then we have somebody who's really gun-ho, but they just need a few classes, and so we would go down that route at those times.

[12:09] But it's not hugely useful.

[12:15] No, this is just for teachers.

[12:19] There's no other question.

[12:22] You know what I'm trying to say?

[12:25] She's going for it over here.

[12:27] I thought that on.

[12:27] We all go like that.

[12:31] She's short of

[12:34] that.

[12:34] I'm a way, I'm not a person.

[12:35] Can you have a motion jump set 2.4, a horizontal pin?

[12:43] So move it.

[12:44] And a second?

[12:46] Second.

[12:48] Second.

[12:49] All those in favor?

[12:50] Aye.

[12:51] Opposed?

[12:51] No.

[12:54] That's removed.

[12:55] From the provisional approval.

[12:58] 2.5 approval to appoint the principal back there in the school.

[13:03] As one of my last official duties as a superintendent,

[13:06] And since we since the board has selected Angela Galger to be the new superintendent, starting

[13:13] July 1, her current position at Bayer River will be open as of July 1.

[13:19] So I am appointing Mr. Justin Guzman, who is currently the Vice Principal to be the

[13:26] Principal at Bayer River,

[13:34] and that appointment is pending board approval, of course.

[13:39] He has been, he has been with our district for 26 years, serving in many roles from D.C.

[13:46] to administration.

[13:47] He's been a Vice Principal at Mayor River for the past two years.

[13:50] He has a valid administrative credential, the support of other administrators, the support

[13:55] of staff, and has the right skill set, in my opinion, to be successful in this position.

[14:00] And it is my honor to appoint Justin Guzman as Principal at a very

[14:04] group of school pending board of group?

[14:08] Any questions?

[14:10] Comments?

[14:11] Concers?

[14:12] No?

[14:12] OK.

[14:13] We'll be going to ask for a approval.

[14:18] So moved.

[14:19] In a second.

[14:21] All those in favor?

[14:22] Aye.

[14:23] Opposed?

[14:24] Regulation.

[14:25] Regulation.

[14:32] Yes.

[14:34] Yes.

[14:34] I know.

[14:38] If you know this.

[14:39] If you know this.

[14:40] If you know this.

[14:43] I hope that I can

[14:54] be very thankful for the opportunity.

[15:14] Okay, so this is the point where we'll do the oath of office for our new superintendent. We have two of them. We have the unofficial oath of office, which I'm going to say first. And then we'll do the official oath of office. So the unofficial and slightly concerning oath of office,

[15:36] for Angela Galger. Angela just say, I do at the end of this year, you will no longer have

[15:43] a choice.

[15:47] Angela Galger, being a reasonable and sound mind, though many of us questions

[15:52] her career choice do solemnly swear, or at least enthusiastically agree, that you will support

[16:00] and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of

[16:04] and the Bible we call friends of Wheatman.

[16:11] You further acknowledge that by accepting the position

[16:15] as superintendent of Wheatman's school district,

[16:18] you have voluntarily agreed to,

[16:20] so rendering most of your personal life,

[16:23] decipher educational acronyms that both apply faster than rabbits,

[16:28] to attend meetings about meetings,

[16:31] to discover that vacation is merely a change of scenery

[16:34] to answer emails, texts, and phone calls or writing reports.

[16:39] And do be held responsible for student achievement,

[16:42] the behavior of students that you have never met,

[16:45] why the cotton machine doesn't work,

[16:51] when it is needed for today's test,

[16:53] because some people cannot plan ahead,

[16:55] why and how the water pipe broke 60s underground

[16:59] at Wheatland L is apparently your fault as well.

[17:02] And finally, the weather at recess,

[17:04] you will have to determine that prior to recess.

[17:09] You will understand that you may be contacted at all hours of the day and night, and that

[17:15] even a peaceful Sunday afternoon, floating in your swimming pool may be interrupted by

[17:19] a text, phone call, or an urgent email that absolutely cannot wait till Monday.

[17:26] You also acknowledge that I, Craig Gensler, knew all of this, and is retiring anyways.

[17:33] You promise to be faith, you promise to faithfully discharge the duties of the superintendent to the best of your ability, even when your ability is tested by slim budgets, state mandates, that seem unreasonable, staffing shortages, facility issues, social media commentary, and the one person who always hits, reply all at the wrong time with the wrong message.

[17:59] You will uphold the laws and policies, government and public education, even when they

[18:09] seem they are written by people who never actually worked in a school, but yet they know better.

[18:14] You will act in the best interests of students, staff, and the community, remembering that

[18:19] students are why we are here, staff is how we get things done, and the community will occasionally

[18:25] have strong opinions about both based on the rumors of their third cousin twice removed.

[18:32] You will conduct yourself with integrity, fairness, transparency, and good humor, especially

[18:37] during board meetings, budget season, and any conversation that begins with the words,

[18:43] this shouldn't take long, or I have just one question.

[18:47] You are also, you also acknowledge that there were undoubtedly easier jobs available, and that

[18:53] and any reasonable people would consider accepting this position as an evidence of questionable

[18:59] judgment. Furthermore, you put a curse on Craig Gensler for retirees and leaving you

[19:06] to take this role. May his fishing gaze the mediocre his retirement projects never quite

[19:12] get finished. His TSA line at the airport makes him miss most of his vacation flights and

[19:21] His phone mysteriously continue to ring whenever someone says how did Craig do this to you Angela

[19:31] maybe may Facebook be kind

[19:35] many may the rumor mill

[19:37] Run out of fuel may your copy ring in hot, but your temporary main hole cool

[19:43] May your board packets be short may your wife find ever failed during a presentation and

[19:48] And they, the group of praises in and out of Wheatland, find a life other than harassing the district and other amazing employees.

[19:58] And when the budgets tighten buses break down, reports increase.

[20:03] The state regulations multiply and make zero sense, but you have no choice as to enforce them.

[20:09] And when the emails and the calendar invites, begin arriving.

[20:13] To get arrived in faster than you can be answered, may you use the force to survive.

[20:21] Should you ever wonder whether you're completely not just taking this job, you will remember

[20:27] that you are surrounded by dedicated students and amazing board, outstanding staff, wonderful families

[20:34] and colleagues, and together you will all accomplish extraordinary things as you move forward

[20:40] beginning July 1st, 2026.

[20:43] Therefore, it is with optimism, courage,

[20:46] and perhaps a healthy supply of caffeine

[20:49] that you accept this responsibility.

[20:51] So help you God, the force, and remember every day

[20:54] is not Halloween, even though you would like it to be.

[20:59] Congratulations, Angela.

[21:00] Welcome to the important role of the school district

[21:03] and never forget how you got here.

[21:05] We're excited for you and the district,

[21:08] and honestly, just a little concerned

[21:09] about your decision making process.

[21:13] But really, if you would come forward,

[21:25] all we need to show us is that we need.

[21:28] I am going to announce all these where, forever,

[21:36] that's the point.

[21:41] I will support that event constitution of the United States

[21:44] and constitution of the United States, and constitution of the United Kingdom.

[21:53] That I will take away the discharge of duty of violence

[21:57] It's a different thing,

[22:06] too. That's a mile or a

[22:10] whole lot.

[22:30] Good bye my fellow integrity,

[22:34] fairness, fairness, fairness, fairness, and all others related to my office and my other issues.

[23:11] That's dangerous.

[23:16] Okay. All right.

[23:18] So, our honours are

[23:22] being said welcome superintendents, Governor.

[23:35] That's seven in the approval of the National Eth cafe convention to Indianapolis.

[23:38] Yeah, all right, this is so our FFA group can travel to Indiana, we have five students that are eligible this year for the national stage and we'll be traveling back there to compete for the national

[23:54] They were state winners and are they all eighth grade in a row or son of high school?

[24:02] So they are currently seven to eighth graders. A few of them will be high school next year

[24:10] because they graduated on. They qualify as eighth graders but they can be.

[24:15] The expenditures for the trip are all funded through either the grants or fundraising

[24:20] that the students do to make the difference between what the grant doesn't pay and

[24:25] and if further experiences.

[24:27] And this eighth graders that will be high schoolers, they travel with us.

[24:30] They travel with us.

[24:32] They're still part of us because they qualified as a caregiver at that day.

[24:37] So they remain our students until they pass on.

[24:42] Any other questions?

[24:46] Motion to approve two point set of please.

[24:49] So moved?

[24:49] And if that gets, that gets.

[24:52] All those of say here.

[24:55] It's going to go to a new office in the end of you.

[25:00] Two point eight, a approval of Resolution 2526,

[25:03] returning to the school board elections at November 3rd, 2026.

[25:08] Okay. So this, for these two,

[25:10] the four openings that we will have on our board this year in the election that's coming up.

[25:16] Raging walls is term, which is a regular term,

[25:19] Christina Steinens term, which is a regular term,

[25:21] Taylor's of August term, which is a regular term,

[25:23] in Austin Bishop's term, which is currently the short term, which was that two years

[25:27] we've built when Robin left.

[25:30] This basically just states that these positions are open, and that if you want to add any

[25:36] language to the document on the ballot that you are limited to 200 words or less, and that

[25:42] addition would be improved by you, and you would pay for the addition of that language.

[25:48] It also outlines that if there was any ties with the voting that it would go to a draw

[25:57] lot to break that tie.

[26:02] I have one little comment, the election filing starts on July 30th and closes August 7th, so that's to thank you.

[26:20] Any other questions, comments?

[26:24] And I have a motion for September 8th.

[26:26] Some of it in a second.

[26:28] Second, all those in favor.

[26:31] I'm opposed to pointing passes.

[26:35] 2.9, approval of parents to the can book updates.

[26:39] OK, so this is just a few updates in the handbook.

[26:42] This was my fault.

[26:43] You had already adopted the handbook.

[26:45] We did miss eight parts in the handbook

[26:47] that had the old language for the promotion ceremony celebration

[26:51] at the end.

[26:53] That has since been taken over by the parent groups

[26:55] Because now that graduation is the day after, we are done, I don't have the staff there to be able to promote that

[27:03] plus their technically modern students anymore, so in terms of being able to regulate behavior at a little tricky, it was easier to hand it off to the parents to do that, so it was just changing that language about the emotion celebration at the end of the school year.

[27:21] It can't be, but we do allow them, they do the facility use, like we do with some of the other outside groups to be able to use it.

[27:28] We do still provide part of the budget for that through the ASP funds, like we did when we posted it.

[27:36] And then they can't use all of our decorations or you know, we try to be as helpful as you can.

[27:41] photo booth this year all of those types of things. It's just giving it to that group to make it what they want

[27:47] versus that's right before you do that

[27:50] Any questions before this goes to print will it we be able to out our vice principal information on that and

[27:58] Obviously we'll take out the two major term in part of Justin. Yes, so what ends up happening?

[28:04] It doesn't actually go different anymore. We just do it electronically. So once we have it in place, we will update it

[28:09] See how long it's been since I've had kids in school

[28:13] We were tree killers. It does say the futures

[28:18] Yep

[28:28] Some of

[28:46] So, our consolidated app is due to the CDE. This is basically the mechanism that allows us to apply for all of our categorical dollars.

[28:56] It's kind of crazy that we have to ask permission to apply for that because you would think it would be automatic.

[29:02] But we need order approval in order to submit that application.

[29:05] Any

[29:08] questions, comments, concerns, can I have a motion to accept 2.10 please?

[29:17] So moved.

[29:18] In a second.

[29:21] All those in favor.

[29:22] I post 2.10 passes.

[29:26] 2.11 approval of the adoption.

[29:30] So we are in a math adoption.

[29:32] We had several groups of teachers pilot different categories.

[29:37] And we did decide to go with Forty-K-5, they will be doing the reveal, math adoption, and for six to eight, they will be going with the I-ready math adoption.

[29:49] They're both groups of teachers felt like those were the strongest in terms of meeting student needs, having the intervention programs in those types of things.

[30:00] It was pretty much the unanimous decision by both of those great levels to adopt that first.

[30:06] And are both curriculums done online or is the number one?

[30:13] So, the younger ones have both increments depending on the age.

[30:17] As you get older, the transitions more to online, but there is still hard bound to be specific.

[30:25] It's a country that's sort of a work that I'm actually talking on you this year, year.

[30:29] It's a country that's sort of a work that's a work that's sort of a work that's sort of a working, year and year.

[30:31] It's a museum that we're talking about.

[30:32] And the other question is,

[30:35] did an election that's set to point another people about the map of doubt change?

[30:39] It's set to set to set to set to set to set to set to set to set to set to set to set.

[30:42] So I can.

[30:44] All those in favour, I post also that we have more map of doubt change.

[30:50] And this is the one.

[30:52] Oh sorry, sorry.

[30:53] For the approval of the board policies, this is the one that Craig brought to you Tuesday night.

[30:59] For you guys to review, it is through the company that we did have update all the board policies.

[31:05] There was those legal challenges with a couple of them, so they rewarded them and then they added.

[31:11] And you can pull it open after death, which means they add it.

[31:14] But they added a few more that were questions for the new severe weather policy.

[31:19] The standalone Title IX policies, the probationary status,

[31:23] Accertificated employees, and classified employee-resignate regulation.

[31:27] So with those additions, once you approve this, they'll all be uploaded to the website.

[31:33] Remember that Craig also showed that it has that fancy new search engine.

[31:36] you can just go online, type in, when they can know the full of all the policies that

[31:40] rely to that.

[31:42] And, for relate to that service, so it really is a nice update to what we've had in the past.

[31:50] Any questions?

[31:54] Any questions?

[31:55] Any questions?

[31:58] Some of it?

[31:58] Any questions?

[32:02] Second it.

[32:03] All those in favour?

[32:14] We would ask that you would prove this.

[32:17] We are looking at hiring a new account tech position that would help on it.

[32:24] We know the responsibilities are quite extensive, especially with the compliance and the oversight and all the new reporting that has to go on.

[32:34] And this position would also help with our ELOP and our after school programs because the reporting and the oversight of those is from quite expensive.

[32:47] That program will actually fund this particular position, so it will be coming out of those ELOP dollars.

[32:54] But it's just really going to help us do some cross training in the district office as well.

[33:00] also that if we have one employee out, we have some leave that could step in so that

[33:03] for one that isn't doing payroll all by herself.

[33:05] In this case, we would have somebody that would be able to help with those duties

[33:11] as people are out or just on vacation.

[33:14] So it would give us a lot of flexibility and it would take a lot of

[33:20] conflict.

[33:21] Okay.

[33:22] Do you have a position?

[33:24] It's an attack with a new duties as a sign.

[33:27] and it was printed out, or even there, a lot of it's been to go with all the regulations

[33:31] that go with ELOP and the ACEs in all of the monitoring that goes on it, the cash reconciliation,

[33:39] the fiscal compliance, a lot of the state reporting. I know it doesn't sound like a very

[33:44] kind of position. There are people that like that kind of, and this person will start when,

[33:50] July 1. Perversus costs the district.

[33:54] So as far as the difference, it's going to come out at ELO P dollars.

[33:59] I don't have the specific salary of all the persons coming from, but that is the after school

[34:03] program.

[34:04] And in some cases, we obviously have a hard time expanding all those dollars because there's

[34:08] such a finite string that you have to use to spend those dollars.

[34:13] So the money is there and it's not coming out at the general fund.

[34:17] Can we have some money to do it?

[34:19] Or we have to...

[34:19] No, we have somebody to go out if it gets for us.

[34:22] It's very, yeah, no, it's very, she's very qualified.

[34:26] She actually worked in Placer County in the Treasury Department.

[34:30] So she has lots of financial experience and did very similar things to what we describe here

[34:36] with auditing the programs and things up there.

[34:41] She also be bringing to students to the district, so it would be helpful in terms of our ADA.

[34:48] Just like that.

[34:49] I want to ask you a question.

[34:51] Any other questions?

[34:54] Any other questions?

[34:55] Any other questions?

[34:58] I'm moved to accept 2.13.

[35:01] In a second?

[35:03] In all those in favour?

[35:04] Aye.

[35:05] Post.

[35:07] Just one, three.

[35:12] Board comments?

[35:14] Any other Board comments?

[35:16] I just want to congratulate all the pointy today, just in an Angela.

[35:20] Congratulations and Craig, the biggest congratulations to you.

[35:33] Congratulations on being able to help you.

[35:39] Okay, that's it. We need your close session.
