Page 2 December 1, 2016 Wiseburn Kids Get Nutritious New Dining Options Community Briefs Sky-High LAX Art Installation Creates Immersive Environment of Color Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, announced the new art installation We’ve Got to Cross this Great Big World Somehow by Los Angeles artist Megan Geckler in Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), on public view through 2018. Using 360 strands of hand-dyed diamond braid rope to create a monumental sculptural installation, Geckler’s artwork is the visual result of an architectural and mathematical study of the site’s soaring atrium. Sited at the TSA checkpoint on the Upper/Departures level, the installation enriches the passenger experience by infusing the space with vibrant colors and dramatic shapes. Geckler explores the spatial relationship between clerestory windows and platforms on either side of the entrance to the checkpoint. Hundreds of colorful ropes suspend from windows and cluster to form a giant “X,” suggesting connections between points and people. The “X” also references an hourglass and the cycle of time. Located at the entrance into Terminal 3, the installation was designed with passenger movement in mind. The span of ropes creates a curtain marking the transitional nature of the space as passengers move from public to regulated areas. Geckler hand-dyed the rope using 20 different color formulas to achieve a full spectrum color palette divided between warm hues on the west and cool on the east. This prismatic effect is a nod to the sequence of hues that make up a rainbow, the sun’s pathway BDSPTTUIFTLZBOEUIFQBTTJOHPGUJNFr C E R T I F I E D A N D L I C E N S E D P R O F E S S I O N A L S handyman BILL’S HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.

The hybrid-model school combines online curriculum with classrooms at existing sites, and a mobile unit. The RISE concept was awarded a $10 million grant this year and will be operational in 2017. Board member Roger Banuelos also expressed complete support for the RISE project. “I am so pleased with the timing of this project and Phase II of Wiseburn High,” he said. “Costs are going through the roof [already].” He added that with the billions in bonds passed recently, new constructions will boom. With that comes increased costs for materials and competition for companies and workforce. Board member Neil Goldman also expressed his excitement about the RISE project, thanking Board member Nelson Martinez and Banuelos for their work with the facilities committee. “We’re really pleased with the way that project is going,” said Martinez, who praised Director of Facilities Planning Vince Madsen and his team for their diligence. Board Vice President JoAnne Kaneda gave an update on the mural project sponsored by Boeing. “We are down to four finalists,” she said. The student-designed artwork blends art, technology, science and community and will be installed at the new Wiseburn high school site. Kaneda also thanked Goldman and Superintendent Tom Johnstone for their work with Little League. Johnstone indicated meetings with AYSO and Wiseburn Little League have been productive and sign-ups can proceed at Dana Middle School. A mediation process had been called for by the Board after several months of impasse regarding leadership and other governance issues at the local level. Results included an agreement to establish oversight criterion by December 16 and a completed financial review by January 15. Wilson confirmed the District will completely overhaul its current human resources and financial systems in the coming months, replacing the current outdated system. He said that the cost is $28,000 over five years to implement, including software. Wilson also reported that the District’s audit review was completed last week in preparation for the 2015-16 final audit, due to the County December 15. Madsen updated the Board on the high school, announcing that bids for the pool and electrical and mechanical infrastructure will open December 9. Bids are currently underway By Haleemon Anderson Wiseburn Unified School District’s Board of Trustees got some mouth-watering news on the state of student dining at its most recent meeting, and also moved forward on a new initiative to help the most at-risk students. Janet Lusk, Director of Dining Services at Wiseburn schools, updated the Board on the partnership with Nutrislice. The online app allows parents and students to access school menus on mobile devices and provides nutrition analysis, ingredients, allergens and photos. Lusk said the new marketing components are getting more kids engaged, and numbers are up. “We used to have trouble with kids not eating,” said Lusk. “Now we have lines and kids are running to the lunchroom. They can’t believe the choices.” Average daily lunch count is around 636 for the elementary schools, according to Lusk. “We’re really getting participation,” said Lusk. “Finances are in the black $3,500 as of October.” Prices for the full lunch run $3.20 to $3.40, regular price and 40 cent, reduced price. Elementary students have a choice of two entrees and several fruit and vegetable options daily. At Dana, the options are even more varied, with more entrees and five to six produce choices. Board President Israel Mora asked about food safety. The Health Department comes in regularly said Lusk, adding, “We always score in the high 90s.” Dave Wilson, Chief Business Official, noted that one or more staff members per school site have the Safe Serve Certification. “We know it’s important to the Board to have a high quality of meals and selection,” he said. The Board also approved the charter for Da Vinci RISE High, putting the District one step closer to making the project a reality. The unanimous action was met with applause from Board members and those in attendance. The action confirms full compliance with state requirements and regulations for charter schools. “We are extra excited about RISE,” said Mora. for the gym and additional site work, and will close early next month. With passage of Proposition 51, Madsen noted that the District is eligible for $2.3 million toward new construction funding. He announced the Da Vinci Foundation has approved to absorb $12,000 in costs for the redesign needed in Phase II. In upcoming events, Winter Wonderland for first through fifth grades, will take place at Dana on December 14 at 6:30 p.m., and at Anza on December 22 from 9-10 a.m. In keeping with tradition, the Board will only NFFUPODFUIJTNPOUI‡PO%FDFNCFSr THANK YOU ADVERTISERS!
