Technology and innovation were featured
next, with the implementation of “transformative
technology” touched upon, with the role of the
“tech coach” highlighted. Brandlin took the lead,
speaking of how students effectively utilize
technology in the classroom. He touted how
teachers have embraced new technology,
noting, “It’s incredible what they do in the
classroom.”
The last part of the presentation, helmed by
Gauna, focused on tech updates, including the
implementation of new security cameras, as
well as new classroom audio and video equipment.
Gauna gave credit to his team for their
diligent work, saying, “Our team is happy”
and pointing out the upgrade in District IT
infrastructure. He also mentioned how one
of his priorities is bolstering the District’s
Cybersecurity Education Security options.
Moore emphasized that the presentation was
“especially important “as the District continues
its efforts to upgrade teaching/student technology
in the 2019/20 school year. “Things are
happening in this district,” Moore said.
Board members raised questions about the
personalized learning program, which were
addressed by the presenters. “We are going
in the right direction for sure,” Brandlin said.
One of the items listed in the classified
personnel report was the retirement of longtime
District nurse Louise Berg. “We are sad
to lose Louise,” Moore said. Member Emilee
Layne also lauded the stalwart work of Berg
and agreed that she would be greatly missed.
Consent items passed later in the meeting included
the renewal of agreements with Straight
Up Communications and Charter School
Management Corporation; an agreement with
Palos Verdes School Garden Consultants for
work at the elementary schools; and contracts
that will supply garden and art consultants for
Arena Alternative High School.
Moore said prior to the meeting that
the agreement with local firm Straight Up
Communications, which will be entering its
fifth year, had been ramped up as the communications
company will now also be tasked
with providing cogent information to the community
about facility projects and the work
of the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee.
It will additionally provide graphic design
services for the development of brochures and
special projects. Straight Up Communications’
mandate will be to continue to increase the
Local Economy from page 5
and support industries that benefit from sporting
events, and they calculated the amount
of tax revenue collected last year.
The amount of money pumped into the
local economy because of pro and college
sports in 2018 was a staggering $6.2 billion,
the data showed. That figure includes direct
spending by the teams to vendors and wages
paid to employees. Workers were hired for
39,100 jobs at the stadiums, outside in parking
lots, at ticket offices and off-site with
the vendors and suppliers, the L.A.-based
economists discovered. The majority of
workers in this entertainment field are team
players: 22,600 are directly hired by the
teams and events.
Those team jobs, including staffing for the
Bruins and Trojans home games, generated
more than $3 billion in wages across the
L.A. metro area. Another $327 million in
taxes was distributed to local governments.
The South Bay cities of El Segundo (Lakers
and Kings), Carson (home field to the NFL
Chargers and the MLS’ the Galaxy and Los
Angeles Football Club), and Playa Vista (the
Clippers) are in better financial standing
because of their teams.
The professional sports create a higher tax
revenue stream than the local colleges do,
the LAEDC team reported. Pumping nearly
$250 million into state and local government
coffers, the pros are a significant contributor
to budgets for local schools, parks and public
works projects. That stream of tax dollars is
only expected to grow starting next year when
the Rams and Chargers move into the new,
gleaming NFL stadium at Hollywood Park.
Colleges also pump money into their campuses
and into the outlying businesses, the
study found. UCLA bested crosstown rival
USC in home attendance at all sporting events
in 2018. The Bruin fans numbered 526,000
compared to 469,000 for the Trojan faithful.
Loyola Marymount drew 100,000 spectators
to its games and matches. Pepperdine
University ranked fourth in local collegiate
fandom at 92,000. Cal State Long Beach
ranked fifth in the Greater L.A. area for
collegiate crowds at 83,000 a year ago, according
to figures from the U.S. Department
of Education.
UCLA also had the most student-athletes
in the region with 818. USC was ranked
third in this non-economic category with
626 behind Mt. San Antonio Community
College. A couple of lesser-known schools
--Claremont McKenna and Cal Lutheran
University in Thousand Oaks --rounded out
the top five for the largest number of athletes
enrolled in 2018.
College athletics is a $1 billion industry
locally and responsible for creating 10,700
jobs that coordinate, staff and support the
NCAA athletes at both large and small schools.
Unlike the professional sports, colleges are
non-profits and all revenue from sales of
tickets and merchandise go directly to the
school and its students, the authors noted. •
District’s brand and cultivate parental and
community engagement.
The agreement with the Charter School
Management Corporation will continue to have
the company manage the District’s CalPads and
PowerSchool database, including gathering and
reporting student information.
The Board also approved multiple agreements
regarding the District’s conformity to special
education guidelines set down by the State of
California. Board Clerk Tracey Miller-Zarneke
then kicked off the action item portion of the
meeting, noting the financial gifts bestowed on
the District, 16 in all. The largest ($15,000) came
from the El Segundo High School PTA. Other
donors included the Center Street Elementary
PTA, the El Segundo Middle School PTA,
JW Photography, El Segundo Rotary Club, El
Segundo Kiwanis, Chevron, Ambreen Zaheen-
Watson, and Gerald A. Brooks.
Next the Board approved a new Financial
Algebra course at El Segundo High, the District’s
Local Control Accountability Plan, the 2019/20
fiscal budget, and the annual transfer of funds to
keep up with retiree benefits and deferred maintenance
issues. The members also approved a
one-year deal with Sodexo America to provide
food management services for the upcoming
school year. “Our overall goal,” said Moore,
“is to increase participation in the program.
Hopefully that can be accomplished through
oversight and better menu development, maximizing
the use of commodities that we get from
the government, and to reduce food waste.”
District Chief Business Official Kim Linz
spoke about the selection of Sodexo and then
introduced a representative from the new meal
provider, who answered Board member inquiries.
The Board also approved agreements with
Marymount University and Cal State Los Angeles
to provide student teaching opportunities
for their students.
With no information pending action items
listed on the agenda and a very limited July
District calendar, Board member reports then
followed, praising recent graduation and promotion
ceremonies. Moore gave her report,
thanking the members for their diligent, unpaid
work and highlighting Board achievements over
the past school year. President Nancy Cobb
adjourned the open session of the meeting a
bit after 8:30 p.m.
The next El Segundo School Board meeting
will take place on July 9. •
