Visitors’
Comments
(Board of Education Regular Meeting February 19, 2003)
Mr. Ken Nelson, a psychologist for the district, expressed the sentiment
that he was grateful for the administrators he worked for in the district. He gave
his commendation to two administrators for meeting the needs of both regular
and Special Education students: Ms. Brenda Odell, Principal of Maple
Elementary; and Ms. Sharon Lovell, Principal of Virginia Primrose Elementary.
He stated that these two principals had demonstrated amazing creativity in the
utilization of site resources to maximize outreach to student populations. He
thanked them for welcoming all students and encouraging staff to meet their
needs.
Visitors’
Comments,

Mr. Poindexter stated that he took issue with a comment made by Mr.
Mr. Nelson while he was speaking about his perceived tendency of Special
Education teachers to take more of a “baby-sitting” attitude, rather than
teaching. He commented that to his knowledge, all teachers in the district,
including Special Education teachers, were committed to their duties to teach
students.
Bargaining Unit
Representatives’
Comments
Mr. Tom Reasin, Assistant Principal from Fontana A. B. Miller High
School, introduced Mr. Bill Gruber and Mr. Bob Freeman, teachers, to present
reports on the CISCO and Masonry programs at A. B. Miller.
Masonry and
Cisco
Programs
Report
Mr. Gruber gave a presentation on the CISCO program at the school. He
explained that the program offered a 2-year intensive training program in
networking, and used a world-wide, on-line curriculum.
Mr. Hawthorn asked where some of these high school students might end
up after leaving the class.
Mr. Gruber explained that the program was articulated with Chaffey, San
Bernardino Valley and Crafton Hills community colleges, so in effect, a senior
from the Miller program could take one year at the high school and then move
right on into the community college program. He noted that there were jobs
available just about anywhere and everywhere dealing with networking, which is
the emphasis of the CISCO program.
Mr. Freeman introduced student Eunice Crespo, who explained that she
was a Masonry student, and had previously competed in the fastest trowel
competition, in which she and her partner took 1st place. She stated her plans to
continue on to college to become an architect.

(Board of Education Regular Meeting February 19, 2003)
Mr. Freeman then introduced Manuel Del Rosa, a former Masonry
student who graduated in 2002, and was currently working for the same
company that built A. B. Miller as a bricklayer apprentice. Mr. Del Rosa
explained that he had been hired right out of high school, and was very happy
with the skills and knowledge he had gained from the program.

Ms. Amy Vasquez, a representative from the Masonry Industrial

followed by a slide presentation by Mr. Freeman highlighting some of the
projects and competitions that students in the Masonry program had participated
in.
Mrs. Binks how many students the program had served, and of those,
how many were females.
Mr. Freeman responded that during the past seven years the program had
served around 130 to 140 students per semester, and that the average number of
females participating was up to 10 or 11 each semester.
Mr. Hawthorn commended Mr. Freeman on the program and the contacts
he had made within the industry.
Dr. Harshman presented certificates on behalf of the Board to Eunice
Crespo and Manuel Del Rosa recognizing them for their accomplishments in the
Masonry program.

Dr. Ruble asked if any of the Board members had comments regarding
the next agenda item, approval of Board Policy 6146.1, High School Graduation
Requirements.
Mr. Hawthorn referred to the presentation from the last meeting
regarding the new requirements, and stated that he fully supported the new
policy.
Mr. McClure agreed with Mr. Hawthorn.
Mrs. Binks expressed concerns for Special Education students not being
able to meet the new requirements, and asked if that issue had been addressed.
Dr. Harshman replied that parents would have the option to opt their
students out of the new curriculum.
Dr. Dayton Gilleland, Director of High School Education, reiterated that
along with the stricter A-G requirements being proposed, the current, existing
requirements would remain in place. He stated that the new requirements would
provide greater opportunities for students in the future.

Discussion of
Proposed
Board Policy
(Board of Education Regular Meeting February 19, 2003)
Mrs. Binks stated that she felt with so many students having problems
with basic math that the district needed to concentrate on that, and how she felt
those concerns were not being addressed.
Dr. Ruble asked what the district was doing for students that weren’t
ready for Algebra, and whether it would be more useful for those students to
take basic or business math.
Dr. Gilleland replied that Algebra I was a requirement mandated by the
state for graduation, and measured in the High School Exit Exam. The focus of
the new curriculum would be on Algebra I to prepare the students for this. Once
students demonstrated proficiency in Algebra I by passing that section of the
High School Exit Exam, they could then go back and take other math courses as
desired.
Mrs. Binks asked if the Board could wait to vote on the policy.
Mr. Hawthorn noted that the Board could approve the first reading and
request clarification prior to adopting the policy at the second reading. He then
commented on the preparation for students out of high school for work and
higher learning, and that the Board had to look at policy changes that would do
the most good for the most students.
Dr. Ruble asked whether there had been any parent input in the form of
surveys or otherwise.
Dr. Gilleland responded that while there had been no parents involved
with the A-G requirement, participation on future committees had been
prompted by meetings on the High School Exit Exam.
Dr. Ruble then requested that the district involve parents of students that
do not plan on going to college, as well as those do, on those committees. He
then asked if the district had reviewed any employment tests used by
government agencies to see the types of math skills required on those tests.
Dr. Gilleland replied that the district had based its curriculum strictly on
the K-12 standards.
Mr. McClure commented that he felt public education was doing as fine
a job as ever, and was proud of the job the district was doing to narrow the
achievement gap. He expressed his belief that raising expectations was a critical
part for all students to succeed, and that in his work with Special Education
students, that the higher the bar was raised, the higher students achieved. He
stated that he was proud of the district’s strides and direction.

Mrs. Binks noted that Fontana High School was redoing the locker rooms
and asked where students were going to be able to dress for sports while this was
taking place.
Board
Member
Comments
Dr. Harshman responded that she would get an answer to that question.
Mr. Hawthorn expressed a concern about the reason for the recent closure
of the access road behind the pool deck on the Fontana High School campus, and
whether this was related to recent hit and run accidents.
Mr. Patrick McCurry, Chief of School Police, responded that there had
been several accidents in that area of campus, and that he would get more
detailed information to the Board.
Mr. Hawthorn then commented on the dedication ceremony for Ted J.
Porter Elementary School earlier in the day, and asked at what point in their
education were students taught to apply basic skills learned at elementary levels.
Dr. Harshman stated that she would provide this information to the Board.
Dr. Ruble congratulated Henry J. Kaiser High School students on their
success in the recent Academic Decathlon, and requested that all high schools
inform the Board members of their awards banquets so that they may have the
opportunity to attend.
Dr. Harshman commented on the proposed new high school graduation
requirements, and the problem existing at the middle school level concerning
students and what could be done in terms of an alternative program. She stated
that she had proposed the possibility of a charter school to be chartered by the
district with very limited focus for 7th and 8th graders only who did not have the
opportunity to come through the Fontana Unified District’s standards-based
curriculum. She explained that, if instituted, the charter school would be a very
focused school with small modules for reading, math, beginning algebra and
language. She stated her wish that she would like to propose, if the Board was
interested, to explore this possibility further.

Comments
(Board of Education Regular Meeting February 19, 2003)
Dr. Harshman then commented that 25% of the charter schools operating
in the state were operated by school districts, and that the advantage of operating
a charter school would be that students would not be provided with full-fledged
programs including electives and extra-curricular activities, but only with the
programs the students needed focus in.
Superintendent
Comments,
continued
Mrs. Binks and Mr. Hawthorn expressed support for such a program.
Dr. Harshman stated she would like to bring more information to the
Board and have the school approved by the state by July if possible, but no later
than next year.
Dr. Harshman then announced that she planned to retire as Superintendent
effective June 30.
Dr. Ruble then commented on the recent budget sessions where Mr. Ken
Hall, from School Services of California was present, and asked whether he could
come back and work with the Board for a half day session once all
recommendations had been presented.
Kr. Harshman agreed that this might be a good idea; however, the district
might not know how much would have to be cut from the budget until summer,
but she would keep Dr. Ruble’s request in mind.
The President adjourned the meeting at 7:47 p.m.
