Wiseburn from front page
educational strides made from the late 1800s
until the mid-1960s. The Board may discuss
a possible update to Goode’s book at a
future meeting.
Prior to Thursday’s session, Silvers spoke
of many of the achievements Wiseburn has
made since Goode’s book was first published,
citing a “relevant, positive footprint” in education
in the South Bay. He then introduced
District new hires, including Rios, Willberg
and Monique Ingram and Julie Walker, who
will be heading the “Counseling Care Team.”
Board member Israel Mora, who ran the
meeting in the absence of President JoAnne
Kaneda and Vice President/Clerk Roger
Banuelos, asked for a quick five-minute break
so that his colleagues and administrators in
attendace could chat with the new hires and
meet family members.
Board members and administrators then very
briefly made their reports. Mora summarized
the members’ thoughts by saying, “We are
very excited for the new year.”
Silvers then spoke, noting there was “a lot
of work going on this summer.” He thanked
all District personnel who toiled over the
summer, calling them “a phenomenal group
of educators.” He also thanked the new hires,
saying it really goes to show that Wiseburn
attracts “the best and the brightest.”
Prior to the meeting, Silvers said that a main
District goal for 2019/20 will be to develop a
comprehensive communication plan, including
newsletters, as well as superintendent chats at
the various school sites. He emphasized the
goal to provide a “more robust platform” for
people to ask questions and give feedback to
District personnel. Silvers added that Wiseburn
plans to dive deeply into developing a Long-
Term Facilities Master Plan.
Also on the District’s “to-do” list, Silvers
said, is developing guiding coalitions (groups
of teachers at each school site) that will
provide leadership in the area of professional
development. He pointed to there being “a lot
of really smart teachers, smart people” in the
District and hopes to see their talents fully
utilized in upcoming years.
Action and consent items were next on
the agenda, which included agreements with
Cruz and Associates Consulting to provide
a keynote presentation during the District
professional development event on Aug. 26;
an agreement with Talking Teaching Network
to support professional development; and a
consultant’s agreement with Melanie Mack
to serve as the Wiseburn Education Foundation’s
(WEF) Executive Director; as well as
the approval of the continuing partnership
agreement with WEF. “We are ecstatic to
have Melanie with us and looking forward to
a real exciting and productive year,” Board
member Dr. Neil Goldman said.
The Board members then had multiple questions
about their approval of purchase orders
and miscellaneous receipts and expenses.
Chief Business Official Dave Wilson provided
context for the members into the backgrounds
of certain District expenses.
The next regularly scheduled Wiseburn School
Board meeting is calendared for Aug. 22, with the
first day of instruction on Tuesday, Aug. 27. •
