SUPERINTENDENT AND TRUSTEE COMMENTS at 106:00 Trustee Hannacek - When I visited Wood Canyon I could feel the difference - the energy and excitement. Re: FABLab - How many FabLabs were we able to partner with UCI. All of our schools need these labs. at 107:58 Trustee Hatton-Hodson- We do want to expand. How are we comparing student attendance- year to year or to other schools? The Dashboard will help us with data points. at 110:20 Trustee Holloway - Girls in Science at Ocean Institute- Offered partnerships with CUSD especially Title I schools. at 111:25 Trustee Pritchard - I like the idea of branding. Maybe add uniforms to make it seem even more of an academy environment. at 113:25 Trustee McNicholas - One of the reason we did this was to increase enrollment at some of our under enrolled schools to entice people to come back to their neighborhood schools - you are going to keep track of those numbers. |

The District has a "vision" for being a national leader. TRUSTEES COMMENTS at 112:50 Trustee Hanacek How would you grow this piloted concept? CUSD would be bringing staff from other schools in to be trained at CUSD. at 115:30 Trustee Pritchard Have you thought about presenting this at other National Conferences so that other School Districts can benefit. at 116:42 Gila Jones Maybe would could see if any local colleges would want to have a doctoral student study this pilot. at 118:20 Trustee McNicholas Loved the Community Engagement

Board Agenda Item #30 http://capousd-ca.schoolloop.com/file/1218998819331/1455438848279/1373709562469729052.pdf page 529 - 547 Board Audio at 161:03: http://cusd.capousd.org/cusdweb/audio2016-17.html
At the September 28, 2016 Board meeting Trustees approved a contract with Album Agency dba Album Creative Studios Incorporated re: "Re-imagine Schools Branding Proposal". The contract amount is $24,900.00 (Stated Estimated Amount is $55,600.00 - Contract states no more than $80,000) CUSD is hiring Album Agency dba Album Creative Studios Incorporated to "Provide various communications and marketing services, including Re-Imagined Schools, strategic sessions on campus, reviewing existing profiles, designing a bi-fold brochure improving existing School Loop websites and optional ongoing design for promotional materials".
On May 11, 2016 the Board was asked to revise district policy regarding renaming the schools and potentially adding the word “academy” came back before the board on May 11. However, trustees determined that a new policy was unnecessary due to the board’s current ability to rename schools. The board voted 6-1 to table the item indefinitely.
