INFORMATION UPDATE - LOCAL BOND MEASURE 7.1 Ms. Candace Reines, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and Dr. Fred Good, District Facilities Consultant will provide the Board of Trustees with an update on the Local Bond Measure Ms. Candace Reines, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services introduced the members of the Bond Feasibility Committee that were present; Mr. Lee Tankesley, Mr. Brian Morris, Ms. Xochtil Tafolla-Molina, Mr. Altie Holcomb, and Mr. Eric Kroencke. She thanked them for their dedication and commitment to the District. Ms. Reines, Dr. Fred Good, and staff members from Bowie, Arneson, Wiles and Giannone and CSG Advisors summarized and reviewed the following topics in relation to the bond measure:

Why a Local Bond Measure was needed

Funding Sources for Facility Improvements

Local Bond Measure Planning

INFORMATION UPDATE - LOCAL BOND MEASURE (continued) 7.1 Ms. Candace Reines, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and Dr. Fred Good, District Facilities Consultant will provide the Board of Trustees with an update on the Local Bond Measure (continued) Trustee Twyman asked how the bond funding would be distributed and if Menifee would be paying out more or the same amount of taxes as Perris. Ms. Reines explained that the Project List was built to match assessed valuation. If unification occurred, the tax responsibility would be worked out through the unification process. Dr. Greenberg further explained that if the bond measure were to be approved by the voters, it would be structured in such a way that the work being done in either Menifee or Perris would equal the assessed valuation of their portion of the bond. Trustee Williams stated a lot of oral reports have been given as to how the bond is a win-win for both Menifee and Perris, but there did not appear to be a lot of documentation to back those comments up that the public could point their finger at. For example, he stated that there was a term used throughout some of the exhibits referring to “equitable spending.” He had hoped that there would be more specific language in these documents. Ms. Megan Watt, Attorney, explained that the county committee has the final say as to how assets are distributed once unification happens. Currently, the way the bond measure is written provides the District with many options. Each time a project moves forward where financing is involved, those projects must come back to the Board of Trustees for approval. Trustee Williams thought using words like, “it will not impede, limit or delay unification”, would be better descriptors than “facilitate responsible preparation.” Ms. Watt stated that broader language is used because of all the variables that need to be considered when taking a bond measure to the voters. Trustee Williams wanted to know what projects are related to existing facilities versus new facilities. Dr. Good answered that it was about fifty-fifty but that it also dealt with matching expenditures to where the taxes were being generated. Trustee Williams referred to Exhibit D which stated that the bonds could be no more than 25 years under the Education Code and 40 years under the Government Code and wanted to know how this statement would relate to the current bonds and their length. Staff explained that when the bonds are issued, the District can either issue them under the Education Code or the Government Code. Trustee Williams wanted the public to know that when money is borrowed there is a cost incurred.


INFORMATION UPDATE - LOCAL BOND MEASURE (continued) 7.1 Ms. Candace Reines, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services and Dr. Fred Good, District Facilities Consultant will provide the Board of Trustees with an update on the Local Bond Measure (continued) Trustee Williams commented that the results of the community survey reflected the fact that the number one priority for the voters was to attract and retain highly qualified teachers. He wanted to know if the Perris Secondary Educators Association (PSEA) had taken a position on the bond. Trustee Kroencke stated that Mr. Paul Clay, President of PSEA had submitted a card to speak. Mr. Paul Clay thanked the Board for the opportunity to address them regarding his concerns over the bond measure. Mr. Clay stated that PSEA had not taken a stand one way or the other regarding the bond measure. One of the main concerns PSEA has is related to the population growth and whether or not that would be sustained to warrant another high school. He expressed his support for the upgrades at Perris High School and Pinacate Middle School, as well as for the building of a second middle school. Mr. Clay stated that PSEA was not in support of a fifth high school. Trustee Kroencke stated that the students were already present in the middle schools and elementary schools and that if a fourth high school was not built within the next few years, those students would not have a place to go. He stated that the District was not being speculative about the population growth in order to build a fourth high school; the students are already there. Mr. Clay stated that he had not seen any data to support that statement. Trustee Kroencke stated that he would provide Mr. Clay with the matrix regarding the existing student populations in the feeder districts. Mr. Clay then expressed his concerns over where the money would be spent, i.e. how much money would be spent at Pinacate, Perris High School or a new middle school. Trustee Cooley stated she felt that Mr. Clay was not representing the entire teaching staff, as she has heard from a large majority of teachers that they were in support of the bond measure. Mr. Clay stated that in order for PSEA to be in support of the bond measure they needed to have more questions answered specifically in relation to completing Pinacate Middle School, high school four, high school five and unification. Trustee Kroencke clarified that high school five is not part of this bond measure. Trustee Williams stated that because he brought up the PSEA position earlier in the meeting he wanted to restate his comment that he felt this was a great opportunity for the District and PSEA to work together for a common cause. Trustee Williams also wanted to thank all the people that worked on the Bond Feasibility Committee especially for the work President Kroencke, and Trustee Hulstrom had done.


SPECIAL ACTION ITEM(S) 8.1 Business: Resolution No. 39:11-12 - Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Perris Union High School District Ordering a School Bond Election, Establishing Specifications for an Election Order, Requesting Consolidation with Other Elections Occurring on November 6, 2012, and Taking Other Actions ORIGINAL – Motion 153 Member (Joan Cooley) moved, Member (William Hulstrom) seconded to approve the ORIGINAL motion, “It is recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt Resolution No. 39:11-12 - Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Perris Union High School District Ordering a School Bond Election, Establishing Specifications for an Election Order, Requesting Consolidation with Other Elections Occurring on November 6, 2012, and Taking Other Actions.” Upon a roll call vote being taken, the vote was: Aye: 4 Nay: 0 Abstain: 1 (Carolyn Twyman).

He said it has been two years since the District started this process and he felt it was time for the voters to decide what we can do to improve the schools. Trustee Williams had a question about the “message” as far as presenting the bond to the public. Staff clarified that a privately funded, volunteer led, campaign committee would be responsible for getting the “message” out to the public. Board members and staff are welcome to participate in the campaigning, but it must be on their own personal time. Trustee Williams hoped that when this committee was formed that they would consider being specific as to the reasons for the bonds and why there is such a great need for it now.

ORAL REPORTS 10.1 Report Out of Closed Session There was no report out of Closed Session. 10.2 District Update by the Superintendent

Dr. Greenberg complimented District staff on the great end-of-the-year celebrations such as graduation and awards ceremonies. He mentioned the tragic car accident that occurred recently which resulted in the death of a former Heritage High School student and injuring three others. The school held a memorial service for this student which was a wonderful celebration of life. He commended Principal Zierold and her staff for putting that event together.


ORAL REPORTS (continued)

10.2 District Update by the Superintendent (continued)

Dr. Greenberg stated that on May 30th the District and PSEA met together in an effort to build a better working relationship between the two groups. He thanked PSEA for their cooperation and efforts during the process. He stated that another meeting was scheduled for July 12th. He commented that everyone at the meeting left it hopeful that things would become better between the groups.

The Superintendent congratulated CSEA President, Adam Weinberger, as CSEA and the District recently reached a Tentative Agreement. He informed the audience that the CSEA Contract will come before the Board for approval on June 27, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. He also mentioned that an agreement was reached with the On-Line Teacher’s Association for Choice 2000. This particular agreement would be placed on the August 2012 Choice 2000 Board Agenda.

The Southern Section of CIF has awarded Heritage High School for exemplary

sportsmanship, character and integrity in athletics. Also, the Southern Section of CIF

Champion of Character Award for a Principal went to Ms. Julie Zierold from Heritage

High School.

On Saturday, May 19th, Paloma Valley High School had its first CIF Champion. Kiara Macintosh, a junior, ran the 800 and won.

On June 2nd, the Robotics Competition was held at Paloma Valley High School. Teacher on Special Assignment, Dian Martin put this event together. Dr. Greenberg stated that it was amazing what these students were doing with the robotics program throughout the District.

On May 25th, Pass in Review occurred at the California Military Institute (CMI). Dr. Greenberg stated that this was the best one he had seen yet. Even more impressive was that a Brigadier General was present during the ceremony.

Congratulations to CMI for receiving their mid-term Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) review which will allow them to continue on with their six year accreditation.




Perris Lake High School had their accreditation extended three more years as the result of a successful accreditation visit a few months ago. The visiting committee gave the WASC commission its highest recommendation in terms of extending the accreditation. Dr. Greenberg thanked Dr. Narciso Iglesias, Talisa Sullivan, parents, and staff who participated in the self-study.

On May 23rd it was Principal Brian Morris’ privilege to join about 50 colleagues and the Twyman family members for the unveiling of the new Fred Twyman Memorial located at Paloma Valley High School. It is a beautiful tribute to Fred and his love for the natural beauty of Menifee. Dr. Greenberg also thanked Trustee Twyman for allowing everyone to celebrate publically with the family during what would normally be a very private time.

Pinacate Middle School’s updates are coming to completion. Dr. Greenberg commended the staff for “hanging in there” with all the construction that has been going on at the school. He also informed the Board that in the fall, Pinacate will have their own tackle football team. He stated that they were not the first middle school in the area to have a team in that CMI also has a tackle football team. Being able to provide this program to our students, who most likely would not have the opportunity to participate through a Pop Warner type organization due to the high fees associated with that, is wonderful.

In the vein of taking care of the community, the Superintendent publically thanked Ms. Stephanie Bruce, Director of Nutrition Services for heading up the “Summer Feeding Program.” This is a federally-sponsored program that feeds children from the ages of 2 through 18 throughout the summer. Free lunch will be served at Rotary Park from June 18th through August 3rd.

A few weeks ago, in the Press Enterprise, there was information printed about the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). This test is what our English learners take each year in order to assess their progress in English language development. The statewide average for passage was 43 percent. The Perris Union High School District scored 60 percent, which tied the District for the highest percentage in the County of Riverside. Dr. Greenberg stated that these types of scores happen because we have wonderful teachers who know how important it is for those students to learn English.




Paloma Valley High School teacher, Jennifer West, was selected to present at the California Science Teachers Association Conference coming up in the fall. This is a very exciting opportunity for her.

Dr. Greenberg stated that over the next month to month-and-one-half, Academic Performance Index (API) scores will become available. Recently published in the newspaper were the state-wide rankings which compare how our District ranks in relationship to other schools. Dr. Greenberg read the following statement issued by Marcy Savage, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services: “Good evening members of the Board and the public. It is my privilege to announce the release of the 2011 Base Academic Performance Index (API) Report and inform you that despite the current economic crises in our schools, the students in the Perris Union High School District continue to improve academically. The 2011 Base API represents results from the state test that the students took a little over a year ago. The report combines the spring 2011 test scores with the current year accountability rules to establish a starting point in goals for 2012 test scores that will be released in August. Included in the 2011 Base API are the state-wide ranks and the most important one, similar school rankings. The California Department of Education (CDE) sorts schools by category; elementary, middle and high, then ranks them by Base API. This ranking essentially compares all the schools in the state by assigning 10 separate groups, referred to as deciles, with a 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. For the similar school rankings the CDE calculates a School Characteristics Index based on over 20 demographic fields from student enrollment data. This index is used to determine groupings of schools that have similar academic advantages and disadvantages. Test score data is then sorted within the group and schools are assigned decile ranks based on their performance. Several of our schools showed improvements on their similar school rankings. I am delighted to share the following highlights:

o Paloma Valley High School achieved a similar school ranking of 10. o Perris High School increased from 6 to a 7. o Heritage High School maintained a score of 8. o CMI had the highest increase by receiving an 8.”

Congratulations to our students, teachers, classified staff and administrators for their efforts in making the Perris Union High School District successful.



10.3 Report by CSEA President Adam Weinberger There was no report from CSEA. 10.4 Report by PSEA President Paul Clay PSEA President Paul Clay stated that the Association and the District need to work together to find some common ground in regards to the Bond Measure. He reiterated that the teachers do want a bond issue but want to also make sure that it is an equitable one. He stated that he too was looking forward to the next Problem Solving session with the District. 10.5 Curriculum: Presentation on Project DELTA (Developing Educators Learning to Teach Algebraically) Ms. Gwen Hancock, Specialist for the Project DELTA program, explained to the Board that this grant is a California Math-Science Partnership Grant and does not impact the District’s General Fund. She then introduced two of the teachers that participate in this project and who will be giving the presentation tonight; Mr. Tim Langston, teacher from Perris High School and Mr. Brian Kitayma, teacher from Pinacate Middle School. These two individuals have really impacted teachers with what they have learned in Project DELTA. She also introduced the Co-Project Specialist, Ms. Vickie Kukuruda, who also helped to write the grant. Ms. Hancock stated that this was a three year grant which is the normal amount of time it takes to see results. She stated that the group was very excited about what they were beginning to see in the classrooms. The Project DELTA team then gave a presentation to the Board on how the program works by increasing academic achievement through mathematics instruction and how the program is positively impacting the teachers in our own District as well as in the feeder districts.
