been resolved, but “when you have that many
workers in the building,” coordination between
all the working parts becomes challenging. He
added that the couple-month delay will be worth
the wait and that when the students, faculty and
administrators do relocate to Douglas Street,
they will be “moving into a world-class high
school that looks more like a college.”
During his comments Wednesday night,
Johnstone lauded Aileen Harbeck, Director
of Ed Services, one of the administrators
who has been working with the two new
District principals to get them “up-to-speed”
in preparation for the new school year. Johnstone
praised Harbeck, saying that both new
principals would be able to start the year
“at full speed, in terms of the operations,
curriculum-wise.”
One of the two new elementary school
principals, Lisa Baggio, taking over at Juan
Cabrillo, said, “I am both honored and excited
to begin the school year this Wednesday, It
has been a busy two weeks that consisted of
meeting with staff, completing kindergarten
orientation and enrolling students into classes.
I have enjoyed every moment of it. I cannot
wait to meet the students and families.” Kim
Jones is the other new elementary school
principal, beginning her tenure this week at
Peter Burnett Elementary.
Upcoming District events include Thursday’s
welcome back barbecue. The first two days
that the students headed to the classroom, what
are termed “super-minimum days,” resulted
in them being dismissed at 11:45, with the
teachers and support personnel gearing up for
the next nine months of instruction.
The 60-minute meeting, gaveled in by
Board President Israel Mora, also included
approval of multiple change orders for the
new construction project. Board member report
comments included Vice President JoAnne
Kaneda commenting on how well the District
maintenance field projects were progressing
during the ramp-up to the first day of school.
Also mentioned was the fact that the Galaxy
youth soccer club team had seemingly taken
over “all of the fields” in Wiseburn in the last
couple of months. The Galaxy club soccer program
had recently had their field time limited
in the neighboring city of El Segundo because
of concerns raised by the El Segundo-based
Strikers club about field usage and residency
requirements to use the limited field space in
these South Bay communities.
Kaneda addressed the apparently new surge
in field usage by the Galaxy group. “How
does this happen, that nobody in this room
knows about this?” she asked. Mora said,
“Somebody needs to find out about this--let’s
research this.” Field usage is an issue that
tends to arise with limited space available in
most South Bay cities.
Mora, in his comments, warned about traffic
issues that will arise during the first week of
school, as campuses that have been basically
uninhabited for the past 75 or so days spring
back to a beehive of activity. He also opined
on the high school construction, saying that
while it was “sad that it will be delayed, at
the same time we want a nice, perfect finished
product. It’s a beautiful building.”
Deputy Superintendent Chris Jones also
made his comments, including that he was
working closely with the new principals on
their budgets, and that he was closing the books
on the past school year, which he termed a
positive campaign for Wiseburn.
Action items quickly addressed and passed
by the Board included an agreement to continue
a partnership with Loyola Marymount
University and the District on the Mathematics
Leadership Project, which Johnstone said was
a “win-win” situation not only for the District,
but for also for the LMU participants.
Prior to the open meeting session, which
started a little after 7 p.m., the Board met
in closed session with representatives from
Balfour Beatty--the construction company
charged with building the structure on Douglas
Street. Those individuals answered inquiries
from Board members about the progress being
made as the construction and final touches take
place on the property. Suffice to say that all
parties are eager to wrap up the construction
project, but the key is to make the edifice on
Douglas Street safe for all and conducive to
implementing prolific 21st Century learning.
Vince Madsen, District point man for the
massive construction project, emailed that
“based on the current construction activities
still on going in and around the school building,
I am hopeful that most of them should
be completing by the first or second week of
September--which will allow District consultants
to finalize pre-function testing of all of
our building equipment and fire life safety
requirements, which could be a few more
weeks of activity. We are very hopeful that
we can get students and staff moved into the
building sometime in October. We still have
a lot of little detailed construction items to
wrap up between now and then.”
The next regularly scheduled Wiseburn
School Board meeting is on the docket for
Thursday evening, September 14. •
