December 25, 2014 Page 3 Wiseburn Unified School District Board of Trustees Re-elect Roger Banuelos as President By Nancy Peters The Wiseburn Unified School District Board of Trustees met for the only scheduled December meeting on Thursday, December 11, with one action task to choose the elected officials for 2015. Without opposition, Roger Banuelos was elected as the Board President for another year, having served in 2014. Israel Mora was reelected as the Clerk of the Board. As per the policy of the District, Dr. Tom Johnstone, Superintendent, will continue to serve as the Secretary of the Board, tracking action items and generating the minutes of each meeting. The Board approved the signatures of Dr. Johnstone; Dr. Chris Jones, Deputy Superintendent; David Wilson, Director of Budget and Accounting; and Ms. Ana Montes, Director of Human Resources and M&O, to be permitted to sign official documents for the Board, including warrants for payment, purchase orders, contracts, services and other reports, and applications for state and federal projects. Board ratification and/or approval will occur at each regularly scheduled meeting for any signed documents. Mr. Banuelos will represent Wiseburn at the County Committee on School District Organization and at the Los Angeles County School Trustees Association. Dennis Curtis, Board member, will be the Board representative to the Wiseburn Education Foundation. Joanne Kaneda will serve on the Wiseburn Technology Committee. Mr. Mora will represent the Wiseburn Unified School District Board of Trustees on the DaVinci Charter High Schools Board. Mr. Wilson reported that the independent audit conducted for Wiseburn Unified was successful with no reported issues. The DaVinci Schools audit was conducted on December 15. Both audits will be presented to the Trustees when all written reports are available. Dr. Jones reported that the number of GATE students has doubled in the last year and the identification of students eligible for the program will take place in the third grade. A three-year grant has been awarded to the District by Loyola Marymount Professional Development for a specific mathematics training program for teachers. R.H. Dana Middle School is designated as a National School to Watch. The Schoolto Watch special program designation allows other schools around the country to utilize these chosen schools as a role model school. The sophistication and caliber of the programs and level of teaching at Dana Middle School is continually recognized for their excellence. A committee is authorized to attend meetings in Washington, D.C., and San Diego, California, over the next three years to participate in the mentoring programs to participating schools. The Capital Facilities Fund and development fees resolution was passed with a unanimous vote. The construction and reconstruction of school facilities fund for the new Wiseburn High School and two separate new classrooms, one at Dana Middle School and the other at Juan Cabrillo Elementary School, are all part of the fees in this fund. The interim budget report for the 2014-15 fiscal year was given by Mr. Wilson. The reserves are currently at 4.9 percent for economic uncertainties, although the state mandates that a District maintain a 3 percent reserve at all times. The reserves will increase as the year progresses to 5.7 percent and then 10.8 percent. The revenues since July 1 have been $267,216 from permit students; $463,000 from various increased facility use fees, rental fees, donations from Chevron and other donors, and the legal settlement from SW SELPA. With the increases in rent from the charter schools and the Measure L revenues, the loss of funding from the state over the last few years is less impactful to Wiseburn. The increase in expenditures due to Common Core spending contributed to additional deficits, which are adjusted as necessary. 2014-15 budget is on track at this time. The architects for Gensler Corporation presented a schematic of the new gymnasium at the Wiseburn High School complex property between Duley Street and Mariposa Avenue on Douglas Street. The gym will be at the north end of the complex, closer to Mariposa Avenue. The gymnasium is 48,000 square feet. The design includes a lobby as a Hall of Champions, locker rooms and showers, a partition for volleyball and basketball courts to be used simultaneously, a concessions room, a ticket booth area on the exterior, a weight room, and the access to the field. The installation of a pool, to be maintained by the City of El Segundo, the pool complex will be regulation Olympic size at 54 meters. The projection of the opening of the high school and gymnasium, along with the Aquatics Center, is for the 2017 school year. The pool costs will include the mandatory building of the storm drain for the pool. There is a fund of $52.7 million received in the recent grant from the state of California, $37.7 million designated for the building of the high school and pool. The Board meeting dates for the 2015 calendar year will remain on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, with the exception of July, August, November, and December, when only one meeting will be held, on dates to be determined. Any changes to dates of meetings will be announced separately. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Wiseburn Unified School District Board of Trustees will be held on Thursday, January 8, 2015, at 7:30 p.m. in the District Office Board Room. • “Christmas, my child, is love in action.
