There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that people are not aware of.” The only information pending action on the agenda was consideration of the math textbook adoption for the middle school. The textbook has been vetted by teachers and administrators for the past six months and has been available for public and staff review. If all goes smoothly, the textbook adoption will be brought back to the Board as an action item at the May 23 meeting. Tuesday evening’s informational calendar, shared by Lofgren, included a special Board meeting that will be held on Monday, May 22 and will focus specifically on the matter of investing and/or spending the proceeds from the 2016 sale of the Imperial Avenue property. The long-time surplus District-owned property was sold to home-builder DR Horton for $22,625.000. Other upcoming District events include Friday evening’s Ed! Foundation Gala at Chevron Park, and the always anticipated El SegundoHigh School Prom that will take place on May 20. • Chargers from page 5 rather quickly. The league scheduled both the Rams and the Chargers to play on the same day and at the same time in Los Angeles on three separate occasions throughout the regular season. The Chargers will battle against a playoff team from last season when they take on the Miami Dolphins at the StubHub Center, while down the road the Rams will be playing in the Coliseum against a Washington team that lost most of its star players over the offseason. While the Chargers are taking on a team that most L.A. fans wanted to see play in Los Angeles in the first place when they host the Raiders at StubHub on New Year’s Eve, the Rams will be struggling to get fans to the Coliseum to watch them take on the 49ers. The third date will see the Chargers take on Washington while the Rams take on Philadelphia. The Rams may have the better matchup on paper, but much of the allure is lost when it is realized that the home team will almost certainly lose the game. When it comes down to it, wins and losses will decide who will own the city of Los Angeles first. Behind Jared Goff, Todd Gurley and perhaps defensive star Aaron Donald, most moderate NFL fans would be hard-pressed to name five other players on the Rams who are presumably supposed to bring their team to a victorious season this year. The Chargers have the players with name recognition, the stadium that fans are curious about, and the dates that will keep them on the minds of all fans who are looking to give their loyalty to a team in Los Angeles. If the Chargers stay healthy- -which has been a big if lately--they may have a chance to challenge the rest of the AFC West for a division title. The Rams, on the other hand, will be lucky to get any positive production out of Goff, their second-year QB. Even if they do, it certainly won’t be enough to challenge the likes of the Seattle Seahawks and the Cardinals in the NFC West. The Rams moved to L.A. first--and for that reason, they currently have more fans in the area. With a little time and a lot of winning, though, the Chargers will be poised to take over as the team of Los Angeles well before the new stadium in Inglewood is prepared to open. A successful team is one that has the ability to gain attention across the league and the ability to gain fans from within the city. The current construction of the Chargers, which is in very stark contrast to that of the Rams, will have L.A.’s newest team taking over the city sooner than anyone would have otherwise thought possible. – Asixlion@earthlink.net • Do you or a loved one struggle on the stairs?

Wiseburn from page 3 Credit Scores from page 7 FICO is the most popular credit score formula used by lenders, though there is a recent competitor called VantageScore. The three major credit bureaus created VantageScore, which uses some of the same predictors as FICO to rate a borrower’s creditworthiness. This alternative to FICO also uses what it calls “trended data” in scoring. The data focuses on how a person used available credit over a 24-month period, and looks at money management skills by comparing payment due dates with the actual date a bill was paid, according to Investopedia.com. The last time FICO changed the scoring rules was in August 2014 when it decided that unpaid bills that were settled with a collection agency should not count against a person’s current creditworthiness. • Writer’s Workshop curriculum. She cited the program benefits, which include giving the students a large amount of writing choices, being highly adaptable, and focusing on clear, specific writing skills. “This is where we’d like to go,” Wilberg concluded. She added that she hopes to return to a future School Board meeting with a proposed budget in hand to implement the Writer’s Workshop program in the District. After the presentation, School Board Vice President JoAnne Kaneda added her input: “I have four sons who are all engineers, and each one has told me that what differentiates them from other engineers, who might be just as good at engineering, is their ability to read and write.” A second presentation highlighted the tech opportunities available in the District. Nancy Wloch and Margaret Thelen, two members of the American Association of University Women, were on hand to brief the Board. Their organization raises funds to send seventh grade middle school girls to week-long summer science camps as part of a program that is called Tech Trek. They announced that Dana students Carolina Echavarria, Nayeli Ortiz and Sierra Clark were scholarship recipients. Echavarria will be attending the program at UC Santa Barbara; Ortiz at UC San Diego, and Clark at Whittier College. Said Superintendent Tom Johnstone, “It’s a great program. The girls that go have a wonderful experience.” Dana students Aidan Cessor, Logan Evans, Garrett Hoff and Diego Diaz were recognized for their top finishes in the school’s recent Geography Bee, with Cessor also competing at the state-level bee held in Fresno. District Spelling Bee 1-3 finishers were also recognized. They included Zachary Roach (Dana); Aldo Ayala (Burnett Elementary); and Eva Reyna (Dana), with Roach advancing to compete in the LACOE “grade bee” in Alhambra on March 29 for students in grades four two six. After the special presentations concluded, Board members thanked the presenters. In his comments, President Israel Mora mentioned a recent joint meeting between the DaVinci School Board and the Wiseburn Board: “What is special in our District is how well we work together,” said Mora. Four retiring District teachers were recognized during the action item portion of the 90-minute meeting. The retirees are Jeanette Payne Sutton, currently teaching fourth grade at Anza Elementary and completing her 34th year of service to the District; Sheila LaCour from Dana, who is retiring after serving the District for 28 years; Susan Coulbourne, who also teaches at Dana and is wrapping up 20 years of service; and Dana teacher Erma Bisignano, who is finishing her 14th year. Johnstone noted that having four teachers retire at the same time is a unique event for a district the size of Wiseburn. The Board then took action approving a traffic signal analysis study that would address student safety and traffic congestion issues as construction continues on the Douglas Street property leading up to the August 22 opening at the new Wiseburn High School. Consent agenda items were quickly addressed, including the approval for students and staff to participate in the Robert H. Herndon Memorial Science Competition that takes place at the Aerospace Corporation on May 25. In his remarks, Johnstone painted a positive picture of the current events in Wiseburn. “We have the right people in the right places at the right time,” he said. Great things are happening.” The next regularly scheduled Wiseburn School Board meeting is on the calendar for Thursday evening, May 25, and will be held on the Cabrillo Elementary School campus. • Visit us online: www.heraldpublications.com
