Chief Business Official David Wilson dove
into the weeds on District finances, including
the wrap-up of much of the construction at
Wiseburn High, answering questions from Board
members about the all-important financial purse
strings. Members were also looking forward
to the upcoming Rock-Around-The-Block
program, which will take place April 6.
Action items passed included an agreement
with Studio Roja for brand development and
marketing materials; an agreement with USC for
the placement of student teachers at Wiseburn;
a visitor management proposal agreement with
Raptor Technologies that will run the gamut
at all District schools; and a positive financial
certification as positive as Wiseburn makes
its mandated Education Code filing for the
remainder of this school year, and the next two.
In other District news, Peter Burnett Elementary
Principal Kim Jones emailed about
the strides being made at her school as staff
has been busy focusing on different campus
initiatives, particularly in the areas of math
and science. She wrote of recent training that
Burnett teachers have received to garner certifications
in the Project Lead the Way program;
and professional development days relating to
the further implementation of Next Generation
Science Standards.
On the math side, Jones spoke about the
continued focus at Burnett on Cognitively
Guided Instruction practices, and the bolstered
support of the math instruction team. She also
noted that this spring, Wiseburn will partner
with El Segundo Unified School District
instructors to “foster a sense of community
around math.” Jones said the partnership was
possible because of an Innovation Grant the
school received from the Wiseburn Education
Foundation.
The next regularly scheduled Wiseburn
School Board meeting is calendared for
