District funding, how competitive it is to
get construction bond money and that the
District needs to continually revisit safety
procedures. Israel Mora noted how “Saugus
hits close to home.” He called the shooting
a “very scary event,” while urging that less
talk and more action is needed.
Kaneda mentioned how the whole Saugus
event lasted just 16 seconds, saying, “Not to
take us down a horrible path, but we need
to talk about this with our kids.” She said
there are a lot of side effects to school-site
violence. “Safety is the priority. Kaneda
stressed the need of “building awareness and
dealing with this sort of behavior. “
In his remarks, Silvers reiterated the critical
importance to secure school sites, noting
it is in the “forefront of our minds every
day,” and the need to continually advocate
to implement strategies encompassing mental
health interventions.
Next the Board participated in a discussion
centering around field and gym usage. As with
most coastal cities in the South Bay, field
usage slots are at a premium, with multiple
in-District groups, as well as non-residents,
trying to secure field and gymnasium time.
Chief Business Official Dave Wilson
helmed the field usage update and mentioned
how ASYO teams, whose season runs from
July until November, basically utilize the
sites seven days a week during that time
span. Another heavy user, in season, is
the Hollyglen/Wiseburn Little League. At
the last Board meeting, Kaneda asked for a
rundown on facility usage, including adding
and changing locks and keys for security
purposes. She said her concerns were to
keep the fields available for Wiseburn residents
and keep them from being damaged
from overuse.
Prior to the meeting, Silvers spoke of
logistics challenges dealing with the fields,
as well as the need to get the fields a little
downtime and secure limited entry.
The next regularly scheduled Wiseburn
School Board meeting, the final one for 2019,
is slated for Thursday evening, Dec. 12. •
