I would like to give a shout out to UP UnitedParents.org for all of their hard work working with the Capistrano Unified School District to protect students from a medically inaccurate, age inappropriate comprehensive sexual health education curriculum: With the 2/27/19 Capo USD board meeting, UP finished their one-year fight for a better sex ed curriculum. What UP has accomplished: Written by Skip Hellewell 2. Parents will be talking to their kids in more detail about sex. Our initiative to involve parents in the teaching of sex ed was a complete success. There will be discussion questions for child and parent to work on for each lesson and these will be well publicized to the parents. This also informs parent on what is being taught and prompts them to teach their values to their children. Moving this teaching of values into the home for each lesson is a giant accomplishment that wouldn't have happened without our pushing. 3. Our 22 recommended changes to improve the curriculum made a big difference including these additions in the addendum: a) improved communication to parents of the student-parent homework talks, b) A better opt-out process, c) Instruction to students re communicating to parents, d) more emphasis on friendships and less on romantic relationships, e) Removal of the definition of SOGIE (acronym for sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression), f) CDC recommendations for pre-natal care to counter the abortion info, g) more accurate info on harm of HIV/AIDS and risk of HIV transmission, h) more content on ways to have healthy relationships based on mutual respect and affection (basically our request to teach you can have fun without sex), i) teaching that 18 is the legal age of consent (consent was taught without mentioning kids can't give it), j) more teaching of boundary setting and refusal skills, k) move "Lesson 11 Liking and Loving" which is more about abstinence to the place of Lesson 12 to finish with a positive message. Overall we got about half of the changes we asked for, but the more important half in they're well implemented. 4. The addition of information on the harms of pornography. This was the result of the middle school and high school kids who spoke to the trustees; their innocence had a big influence. I was so proud of our youth and they'll long remember the role they played. 5. We created a widely-recognized organization "UnitedParents.org." This was an important platform for informing people and getting our message out and will have future uses. Thank you Deb. 6. We informed thousands of parents in and outside of our district on the evil their children will hear in school. When we started parents didn't know anything. An informed public is a critical strength. 7. We provided help and motivation to parents in other Orange County areas to influence decisions in their school districts. Yesterday we learned that the Chino Unified School District is going to create their own sex ed curriculum. All the local districts have followed our fight with interest and we've proven parents can make a difference. We have requests for more town-hall meetings. 8. We learned how to have an influence in local government. We were not silent, we spoke up for good. We made a difference, one that will grow with time. 9. We met some really good people across Orange County as well as up and down our state. The benefits from this will continue. |
Mary Frances Kirkpatrick, a parent shared the following Perspective of last nights meeting: Last night, I attend CUSD Board of Trustee Open Forum. The public was invited to address their concerns of the new Sex Ed for 7-8 Graders. The room was packed with mostly adults and I was very surprised to see so many teens. When the floor was opened to the public, the youths spoke first. They were both male, female and transgender. Ranging from the age of 11-18. Many of you know that the subject matter of this Sex Ed is highly controversy. Most say it is "too much too soon". That it is graphic and nearly pornographic, that it will lead to promiscuity, early sex and a downward spiral of our society. Well, these young people out-shined the adults. They spoke eloquently, with statistics and from personal experiences. These teenagers urged the Task Force to change the Sex Ed curriculum, to tone it down, to include the potentially long term effects of having sex too young, pregnancy, diseases, mental anguish, remorse, self-harm, loss of self-esteem, self-worth and that this Sex Ed made sex simply an extra-curricular activity, not one base on love. Many said that "they wanted to hear it from their parents, not a teacher, and that the focus of school should be math, science and the arts". All of the teens said "that this curriculum, equips and encourages them to have sex and if they did not experiment with it then they were an odd ball". Each young man (that was the majority of speakers) and women said that they wanted their parents more involved and that they were going to remain abstinent until they were married. One young lady, asked them to include a chapter on "how to tell the difference between "love" and "just sex". They all said "that the curriculum would empower them with the wrong information, that there was no place for abstinence of sex, as a teen and they did not want it to become the norm". These teens said that they "are scared by the lack of parameters of this Sex Ed". They spoke raw. I was humbled as I listened to these teen boys talk about "how they just wanted to learn academics in school and play sports". A girl said "do not take away our innocence". Each boy mentioned that the real problem on their school campus was "not an addiction to drugs but to pornography". They questioned its exclusion in the Sex Ed material. They said it was rampant on their campuses, that it was overwhelming and destroying the lives of their friends. This was the boys biggest concern, the degradation of girls and women. They each pleaded to the adults in the room to stop the exposure of pornography on minors. One young lady said "the language of her males peers is so vulgar and vile and that she blamed the easy access of porn on smart phones". Another told us of the alarming number of times porn is searched on a phone daily. “ That they are bombarded with it in the media, advertising and internet”. They are pleading for us to prevent it accessibility. Through tears a girl spoke of her own sexual abuse, and why would the Trustees want to have children learn how to put condoms on penises. I was pleased to hear these youths talk about their acceptances of others who may be different. That they learned from their parents not to judge those who may prefer the same sex. None of them had an issue with the transgender sex education that was going to be implemented. Their angst was solely focused on how they did not want to be exposed to adult sexual materials. How can we not listen to the children, who are concerned about their own future in this world. They are so wise. If anyone knows who these young boys of San Clemente High School, please tell them that they did a remarkable job last night. And, that we parents were in awe by their bravery to PUSH BACK against a society that will not let them be children. The teens begged the adults to “protect “ them . These youths were applauded and cheered as they spoke. It was my privilege and honor to hear these local youths speak so strongly against the new Sex Ed curriculum.

CUSD NATURAL GAS FACILITY AGENDA ITEM #14 RESOLUTION NO. 1819-33, ADDENDUM TO APPROVED 2011 INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS DISPENSER AT THE ALISO VIEJO TRANSPORTATION CENTER: Board Agenda page 416 Approval of Resolution No. 1819-33, Addendum to Approved 2011 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Compressed Natural Gas Dispenser at the Aliso Viejo Transportation Center. The District is proposing the installation of 20 additional fueling hoses, increasing the total number of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling stations from 20 to 40. The additional 20 fueling hoses allows the District to replace existing diesel-powered buses with CNG-powered buses. The number of buses using the depot remains unchanged, as existing diesel buses are replaced with CNG powered vehicles. As refueling each bus with CNG takes several hours, additional fueling hoses are needed. The District prepared an Addendum to the approved 2011 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, as required by CEQA § 15164 and identified the new fueling hoses as a minor addition to the previously approved Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. With the adoption of Resolution No. 1819-33, the District will be able to move forward with the application to the City of Aliso Viejo to install the 20 additional fueling hoses.

NEW SCHOOL CODE AGENDA ITEM #15 ESENCIA SCHOOL - COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL CODES Board Agenda page 469 Approval of Esencia School – County District School Codes. The California Department of Education (CDE) is required to report directory information annually to the United States Department of Education (ED) through the EDFacts Submission System (ESS). To meet this federal requirement, the CDE used the County-District-School (CDS) code system. To request a CDS code for a new school, an application for a County-DistrictSchool (CDS) Code form is submitted along with board minutes showing approval of the formation and establishment of the school. A previous Board item regarding Esencia that was provided to CDE described Esencia as a K-8 school. To grant separate CDS codes for Esencia Elementary School and Esencia Middle School, CDE requires board documentation requesting separate codes for the elementary and middle schools versus one code for a K-8 school. Previous K-8 schools, Carl Hankey and Arroyo Vista, also have two CDS codes. Separate codes are necessary for scheduling and staffing purposes. Staff seeks approval to apply for a County-District-School (CDS) Code for Esencia Middle School and update the name from Esencia to Esencia Elementary for CDS code 30-66464- 0136762. This change applies only to the CDS State system for operational purposes and does not change the name of the school for District purposes. There is no financial impact.

This is a new three-year grant for 2018- 2021 with an estimated allocation of $2,778,256. As a condition of apportionment, districts must develop a plan describing how the funds will increase or improve evidence-based services for identified pupils to accelerate increases in academic achievement, and how the effectiveness of the services will be measured. The adopted plan for the use of funds is due to the Superintendent of Public Instruction by March 1, 2019. Students in grades K12 are eligible for services. Funds shall be used for evidence-based services that directly support pupil academic achievement, including, but not limited to professional development activities for certificated staff, instructional materials, or additional supports for pupils. Stakeholders including principals and Capistrano Unified Education Association Executive Board were engaged to assist with the development of the plan, which outlines evidence-based services, budget allocations, evaluation measures and alignment to Local Control Accountability Plan.

AGENDA ITEM #24 RESOLUTION NO. 1819-35, NON-REELECTION OF TEMPORARY CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES Board Agenda page 553 Approval of Resolution No. 1819-35. Non-Reelection of Temporary Certificated Employees. Education Code §§ 44909, 44918 and 44920 permit school districts to hire certificated employees on temporary contracts. The District has appropriately classified 159 certificated employees as temporary for the 2018-2019 school year. These employees are replacing other employees on leave, are serving in programs with expiring categorical funding sources, or are placeholders for regular employees who are released from their normal assignments to work in a categorical program. Education Code § 44954 requires the Board to notify temporary employees in a position requiring certification qualification of the District’s decision to release the employees from such positions prior to the next school year. The temporary release of employees, as presented in this item, is an annual process the District must utilize to ensure permanent teachers funded through categorical resources and permanent teachers on leaves of absence have a position for the succeeding school year. As the District begins staffing for the 2019-2020 school year, decisions will be made regarding how many permanent teachers will be funded through categorical resources as well how many permanent teachers will request leaves of absence, part-time contracts, and partnership assignments. As permanent teachers “temporarily” vacate their positions, temporary teachers may be rehired. Contact: Tim Brooks, Associate Superintendent, Human Resource Services |
