HEAR Report from Superintendent
• Welcomed everyone to the first board meeting of the 2020/21 school year and continued to share that we know online learning can present many challenges, but our team of educators are ready to dive in and make this year of learning the best it can be. We have been preparing for months, and while we know that won’t mean everything is perfect, we also know that you can’t learn to surf on the beach – we’ve got to jump in the water! Thank you to all your teams for weathering this time of crisis and for everyone out there doing all you can to make sure our students have the best when we start school on Monday.
• Shared this was our first year of 100% online summer learning and I am proud to
share that we had 10,993 students participate in our summer academies and 4,167 students participates in our summer camps. Of the 6,254 high school students in our summer academies they earned a total of 38,786 credits and we celebrated 147 graduates. Great job to all involved in making summer learning a success and great job to all students who participated.
• Stated that he is thrilled to announce that we have broken ground just last month
on our new elementary school, Juan Felipe Herrera Elementary. Our facilities team has been working so hard during school closures, taking full advantage of empty campuses to start and complete many improvements to our district’s sites. Great Job Karin Temple and our entire facilities team for your outstanding work – we can’t wait to see Herrera when it’s complete.
• Thanked the Fiscal team for their accomplishments. Our team maintained as Aa3
stable credit rating through Moody’s Investors Service. This at a time of economic crisis due to Coronavirus pandemic is a huge accomplishment and could not be done without the fantastic work of our Fiscal team under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent, Ruthie Quinto. Moody’s noted. “The district benefits from a stable and strong management team, with prudent fiscal practices and a consistent track record of outperforming budget.” Great job Fiscal team – thank you for your ongoing dedication.
• Shared that our teams have been working hard to provide several virtual
opportunities for our families to participate in to prepare for the 2020/21 school year. We are so thrilled to see thousands of our Fresno Unified Family to join us last week for our Virtual Town Hall on the reopening of schools. The turnout was unlike anything we have had in the past and I want to say thank you to all our teams that made this Town Hall happen. With that overwhelming engagement, we hit a news snag in our virtual capacity that we have not foreseen where our Spanish speaking parents line reached its limit of users. I just want to apologize formally to
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 3 of 27
all our Spanish speaking parents that were unable to join the meeting last Thursday. Our teams immediately went back to the drawing board and schedule a Spanish Virtual Town Hall that took place yesterday evening with a great turnout. Our teams also have scheduled a Hmong Virtual Town Hall set this Friday at 6:00 p.m. and we hope that you can join us. Thank you again parents and families for your engagement, please continue to engage with us as we all learn side-by-side through distance learning.
• Mentioned that our technology teams and sites are getting out more than 60,000
devices to our students as we transitioned to online learning. However, we know that means that about 11,000 of our students did not opt-in for a district device during those distribution times and would now like to get a district laptop or tablet as we start the 2020/21 school year in a distance learning format. Over the last week or two our Family Learning and Technology Support Center has been overwhelmed with sometimes over 6,000 calls in one day. To meet the overwhelming demand, we have increased our staffing dramatically at the center and we have created and online request form for families to expedite the process. Go to our homepage and click on the icon that reads, “Request a Device or Hotspot” under Popular Resources you can complete a form that is immediately sent to our Technology department. They will fill out your order as quickly as possible and get your device straight to your door through FedEx expedited service – NO CALL NECESSARY.
• Reminded parents that immunizations are required to start school next week. Even
though we will be stating the year 100% online learning format, immunizations are required prior to the star of the start of the school on Monday, August 17 as they have been in years past. If you are unsure of what immunizations are required for your student, you can check http://www.shotsforschools.org/for more information. Proof of immunizations is required to start school next week so please get in with your primary care doctor as soon as possible.
• Shared starting on the first day of school, Monday, August 17th we are expanding
our meal distribution to 63 of our school sites. These 63 school sites will still be serving on a grab and go basis and both breakfast and lunch will be available for pick up from 7am -9am on weekdays.

If you’d like to have your child registered, you can enroll online at our website or call us at (559) 457-3862.

physically on site, I want to remind all staff of our requires safety practices while working on visiting ANY of our district sites. We are asking the same of any parents or students who visit our campuses as well.

OPPROTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
For the record, there were seventeen individuals that submitted public comments for Agenda Item A-2 on the Consent Agenda. They are as follows: A-2, ADOPT Resolution No. 20-02 in Support of an Ethnic Studies Program in Fresno Unified School District
1. Josefa F. Vega FUSD board, I would like to declare my support for creating an ethnic studies program that is inclusive and equitable by reflecting our district and all of the history of communities within it. The movement surrounding the safety and health of Black lives makes this the perfect moment to include their history in students' curriculums. By supporting ethnic studies we can create a learning opportunity that's available all year rather than be limited to a single month. Let's invest in our community's education and include history that doesn't uphold white supremacy and truly reflects who Fresno unified is. In community.

To whom it concerns, My name is Heather Miller and I am a concerned teacher and community member. I would like to submit a statement in support of Ethnic Studies in Fresno Unified School District. Within our community we recognize that institutional racism and systemic oppression permeates all of our institutions. Ethnic Studies is explicitly anti- racist. The class centers the experiences of historically racialized groups and provides a safe space for students to examine racism and the institutions that uphold it. I believe Ethnic Studies is necessary because it will help to engage all students in the learning community and give them the skills to understand systemic oppression and how to build a better world. I expect that by the next school board meeting, there will be a board resolution that discusses the proposals made by the Fresno Ethnic Studies Coalition. Sincerely, Heather Miller
3. Amy Sepulveda
My name is Amy Sepulveda. I am an educator at Fort Miller Middle School who will be teaching Ethnic Studies during the 2020-2021 school year. I am a piloting member of the Fresno Ethnic Studies Coalition. I lead the Chicanx Latinx Student Association on campus and provide our Latinx students with equitable curriculum and have witnessed the power of culturally relevant education. I ask that you support a board resolution to implement Ethnic Studies courses at all middle schools in FUSD, as well as at every other site at
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 6 of 27
the primary and secondary level. Our students deserve a safe space to discuss race, ethnicity, and life experiences while engaging in critical dialogue surrounding these issues. As the third largest district with over 90% students of color, FUSD needs to do better. We need to invest in our students and their right to an equitable, anti-racist curriculum that they can see themselves being a part of- a curriculum that does not erase who they are. There is plenty of data that demonstrates the benefits that would uplift the culture of our campuses, the academic performance of our youth, and increase the connection with our community. I ask that you consider adopting the Fresno Ethnic Studies Coalition proposal and integrate Ethnic Studies district wide as well as establish a leadership committee designed to establish curriculum, a functional PLC model, and a qualified ES advisory. The time is now. We must invest in our students and show them that who they are matters.
4. Lauren Beal
To Whom It May Concern: My name is Lauren Beal and I piloted African American Studies at Edison High School. I have seen the direct impact of African American Studies at Edison and the positive ripple effects throughout the southwest community. In African American studies at Edison High School, students have a safe space to address race & ethnicity. For some students, this is also the first time they have seen themselves reflected with intention in content, curriculum, and pedagogy. I am here to ask that you adopt Resolution No. 20-02 in Support of an Ethnic Studies Program in Fresno Unified. As an educator, I am pleading with you to pass this resolution. Affirming your support, both structurally and monetarily, for the development, addition, and integration of Ethnic Studies in Fresno Unified will be monumental, historic, and it’s what our students need. Fresno Unified can once again lead in the Valley, as it adopts Ethnic Studies as a graduation requirement. As the third largest school district in California, I believe Fresno USD should establish Ethnic Studies course offerings at the high school and middle school levels and integration of Ethnic Studies principles into primary grades at piloted schools across the district. Create an Ethnic Studies Leadership Committee by FUSD Ethnic Studies teachers so that Ethnic Studies classes can be vertically aligned, have an established scope and sequence, and guiding principles across the district. As educators, we know that learning never stops. We need a creation of a functional Professional Learning (250-word limit reached).
5. Kelly Smith
My name is Kelly Smith and I am a concerned parent. I would like to submit a statement in support of Ethnic Studies in Fresno Unified School District. Within our community we recognize that institutional racism and systemic oppression
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 7 of 27
permeates all of our institutions. Ethnic Studies is explicitly anti- racist. The class centers the experiences of historically racialized groups and provides a safe space for students to examine racism and the institutions that uphold it. I believe Ethnic Studies is necessary due to the diverse population that resides in the valley and attends public school. I expect that by the next school board meeting, there will be a board resolution that discusses the proposals made by the Fresno Ethnic Studies Coalition. Thanks, Kelly.
6. Dr. Patricia D. López
My name is Dr. Patricia D. López and I am an Assistant Professor and concerned community member submitting a statement in SUPPORT of Ethnic Studies in the Fresno Unified School District. I believe Ethnic Studies is necessary because we live in a society that continues to grapple with racial/ethnic differences and discrimination that many K12 schools similarly perpetuate. These courses center the experiences of historically racialized groups and provides a safe space for students to examine racism and the institutions that uphold it. Ethnic Studies has personally impacted my life by allowing me to understand the histories, cultures, and contributions of marginalized peoples of Color, including my own. The knowledge I gained from Ethnic Studies courses were instrumental in my identity development as an educator, artist, and community advocate. These courses also helped me to develop relationships that supported me to obtain the highest academic degrees and return to my community to teach and work for transformational change. K12 youth are the future of the Central Valley and their understanding of the rich history, cultures, and experiences of historically marginalized communities will make them better leaders in society. High school youth should not have to wait until college to gain deeper insights of the world and their place in it. I ask the Board to please ADOPT Resolution No. 20-02 and support Ethnic Studies in Fresno Unified. Respectfully, Patricia D. López, Ph.D.
7. Matt Espinoza-Watson
My name is Matt Espinoza-Watson, and I would like to submit a statement in support of Ethnic Studies in FUSD. I am an Instructor of Chicano-Latino Studies at Fresno City College, and also an alumni of Fresno schools. For the last fourteen years, I have had the honor of teaching at Fresno City College, with my class usually being the first time students are examining their own background or culture in an academic setting. I have also taught many students who are not of Latino heritage, who have benefited from getting a sense of who their neighbors (or family members) are. It is to all of our advantage to have a better idea of the histories, cultural production, and experiences surrounding us, but which are often hidden in plain sight. I grew
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 8 of 27
up going to school with Mexican American, Hmong, African American, Indian, and Arab students (among many others), yet I had to wait until college to learn the first thing about these groups. We can do better than that. The times we are living in now demand that we investigate our intertwined histories and experiences, and examine what has divided us and why. I assure you that myself and many of my colleagues at Fresno City College would be thrilled to act as resources, mentors, or in whatever capacity we might serve to facilitate Ethnic Studies in the classrooms of FUSD. Matt Espinoza-Watson, J.D. Instructor & Program Coordinator, Chicano-Latino Studies, Department Chair, Cultural & Women’s Studies, Fresno City College.
8. Becky L. Noël Smith
Hello, I am writing tonight to express my support for Ethnic Studies, Resolution #20-02. I am a parent of a FUSD high school student as well as a professor. I am strongly in favor of Ethnic Studies because our students all deserve to be exposed to a diverse set of cultural and historical perspectives that can help them not only understand the complexity of experiences within our society, but that can help the students and community construct the type of knowledge necessary to contest and dismantle systemic oppression and racial injustice. Please note that I provide this statement as a parent who identifies as white. I believe it is important that my child's friends - most of whom are Latino/a, Hmong, and/or Black - have the ability to learn from the great minds of people who share similar cultural identities and experiences, but I also want my child to have the opportunity to learn from the wisdom of a multitude of perspectives. Thus, I ask the Board to ADOPT Resolution 20-02 and show its support for Ethinic Studies here in Fresno. Thank you, Becky L. Noël Smith, Ph.D.
9. Fernando Santillan
I am Fernando Santillan. I piloted Chicano Studies at Edison. I have been able to see the direct impact of teaching a curriculum that reflects the population of the students and that gives them the language to speak to and about race. My course has provided a space to think critically about their communities, society and themselves that they, many times, are not able to do elsewhere. I ask that you support and adopt resolution 20-02 outlining the adoption and implementation of Ethnic Studies as a graduation requirement as is. The resolution includes the creation of an Ethnic Studies Teacher Leadership Committee led by teachers, and calls for there to be a separate advisory committee. The Teacher Leadership committee is critical to the continuous development of our curriculum into a robust and effective program. The purpose of an advisory committee would be to include academics in the field of Ethnic Studies as well as district management and the community to assist in
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 9 of 27
the implementation of Ethnic Studies across the district. This committee would be tasked with ensuring the fidelity of Ethnic Studies as a program including logistical concerns such as the recruitment, training and development of Ethnic Studies teachers and coordination and alignment of the program across the district. In our discussions with other districts we have found the advisory committee to be critical to the sustainability of Ethnic Studies courses. Please stand with Fresno and make this critical investment in our community and our students, they deserve it

MY NAME IS UZIEL JIMENEZ. I HAVE THE IMMENSE HONOR OF TEACHING ETHNIC STUDIES AND HISTORY IN FRESNO UNIFIED. I AM ALSO A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE FRESNO ETHNIC STUDIES COALITION. REGARDLESS OF ONE’S POLITICS, WE FIND OURSELVES AT A WATERSHED MOMENT IN HISTORY. WE ARE MOVING STEADILY TOWARDS A MORE JUST AND INCLUSIVE AMERICA. WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SHED THE GHOSTS OF OUR PAST AND EMERGE STRONGER AND MORE UNITED THAN EVER. IN AMERICA TODAY, 84% OF K-12 TEACHERS ARE WHITE. YET IN FRESNO UNIFIED TODAY, 90% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR. SPECIFICALLY, TODAY I WISH TO POINT OUT SOMETHING VERY DEEPLY PERSONAL AND PAINFUL. LIKE MYSELF, TWO-THIRDS OF OUR STUDENTS ARE OF LATIN AMERICAN DESCENT, YET LATIN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS MAKES UP A PALTRY 4% OF COVERAGE. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS AS NORMAL. I REFUSE TO TEACH KIDS THAT TO BE ACADEMICALLY SUCCESSFUL MEANS FOCUSING ONLY ON THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF A GROUP PEOPLE WE DON’T BELONG TO. BUT HOPE IS NOT LOST… TODAY THE BOARD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HISTORY BY MAKING ETHNIC STUDIES MANDATORY THROUGHOUT FRESNO UNIFIED. A BOARD RESOLUTION WOULD EMBLAZON AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE AND ENSURE THAT THIS CRUCIAL PROGRAM IS NOT CUT IN LEAN FINANCIAL TIMES STUDENTS MAY SOON BE ABLE TO SEE THEMSELVES IN THE CURRICULUM IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY. NOT JUST IN FEBRUARY OR CINCO DE MAYO. NOT JUST THROUGH TOKENS LIKE FOOD AND CLOTHING, BUT COMPLETELY EMBEDDED INTO A CURRICULAR SYSTEM.

11. Michael Gonzalez
I am a community member here Fresno writing to support the implementation of a required ethnic studies program. Fresno Unified has a diverse student population and therefore it is important we move beyond euro-centric curriculum and engage in coursework that enhances critical thinking skills for everyone while also empowering our underrepresented minorities.
12. Inez Zuniga
Dear FUSD Trustees, Hi my name is, Inez Zuniga, Fresno High School alumni class of 1998, born and raised in Fresno. I am writing to show my support of the integration of ethnic studies into the high school curriculum. I believe educating our youth is key to abolishing racism and developing a more integrated valley--as it should be. Thank you.
13. Mercedes Martinez
My name is Mercedes Martinez. I am a piloting member of the Fresno Ethnic Studies Coalition and the Ethnic Studies teacher at Gaston Middle School. I began in this position during the 2019-2020 school year, and I have already witnessed the impact that these courses provide to our students and community. Currently, our textbooks and curriculums are oversaturated with Eurocentric viewpoints that are polarizing for non-white students. As a district, we are failing to recognize that 90% of our students are children of color. Ethnic Studies provides all students with a safe space to explore the racial and cultural experiences and differences that are especially relevant in our current social climate. Ethnic Studies opens the door for students to see themselves reflected in the curriculum that we teach. I implore the board to adopt a resolution to make Ethnic Studies a graduation requirement. I implore the board to adopt a resolution to affirm Fresno Unified’s support, both structurally and monetarily, for the development, addition, and integration of Ethnic Studies. I implore the board to adopt a resolution to mandate Ethnic Studies course offerings at the high school and middle school levels and to integrate Ethnic Studies principles into primary grades. I implore the board to adopt a resolution to establish a functional Ethnic Studies Professional Learning Community in order to provide educators an ongoing and regular opportunity to learn and collaborate. Together, we must work to institute change at home. We must invest in our students and our community.
14. Ariel Lopez

ethnic studies. These types of classes are incredibly important and have been historically lacking in the curriculum. I have personally experienced the positive results of not only taking Chicano Studies classes, but having educators teach me my history. I felt powerful, visible, and most importantly I felt as though the history of my people mattered. We are currently in a watershed moment where we must actively fight for equality and justice. If the district is actually concerned with diversity and uplifting our students of color, educators must dismantle white supremacy in their own classrooms. This means including the history of all of us, not just a small portion of the American public. Ethnic studies courses teach us about ourselves and other people.
15. Crissy Martinez
Dear FUSD Trustees, Hi my name is, Crissy Martinez , Fresno High School alumni class of 2007, born and raised in Fresno. I am writing to show my support of the integration of ethnic studies into the high school curriculum. I believe educating our youth is key to abolishing racism and developing a more integrated valley. Thank you, Crissy Martinez
16. Rebecca Romero
Dear Fresno Unified, I urge you to implement Ethnic Studies so that students of color can be engaged and empowered about the historical contributions of our major racial and ethnic groups in America. According to research that examined the impact of pilot Ethnic Studies courses in San Francisco, students enrolled in Ethnic Studies courses showed increased results in "student attendance by 21 percentage points, GPA by 1.4 grade points, and credits earned by 23. These surprisingly large effects are consistent with the hypothesis that the course reduced dropout rates and suggest that culturally relevant teaching, when implemented in a supportive, high-fidelity context, can provide effective support to at-risk students" (Dee and Penner, 2016). With this said, I urge you to implement Ethnic Studies so that students are empowered in their academics and personal life. Thank you for your time. Regards, Rebecca Romero.
17. Elijah Carrillo
To whom it may concern, I write this email to voice the need to have an Ethnic Studies course adopted and implemented in the Fresno Unified School District Social Studies curriculum. I've taught U.S. History and World History for seven years in this district at the middle and high school levels. Until recently, with the adaptations of our new social studies curriculum of McGraw Hill textbooks, I've observed and experienced inadequate social studies curriculum for our twenty-
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 12 of 27
first century learners. I believe by adopting Ethnic Studies into our general social studies will improve this further because will help our students dive deeper into their understanding of our nation was created, how institutional racism has affected our communities of people of color, how we as a district can truly reach not just equality but also equity as well. Elijah Carrillo.

UNSCHEDULED ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
For the record, there were four individuals that submitted public comments for Unscheduled Oral Communications. They are as follows:
1. Anthony Gonzalez (Voice Message Transcribed)
Thank you, my name is Anthony Gonzalez, I am an alumni of Fresno High School class of 1967 and I would like to see if this time in my public comment, moment here request the Unified board to consider removing the mascot at Fresno High School, you can keep the name but change the image the Indian image no people should be a mascot. Thank you very much my phone number is 415-577-1492, my email [email protected] Thank you and I support the efforts for ethnic studies at Fresno Unified, it will be a big step forward in our efforts to keep decolonize ourselves and be more respectful to each other’s culture. Thank you.
2. Pastor Kevin Smith
Having watched the interview of Mr. Slatic on Sunday Morning Matters I am deeply disturbed by his decision to respond to the complaints of Rev. Eli Loera and myself and the new complaint raised by Board President Thomas, by obfuscation and attempted character assassination. Rev. Eli Loera is a man of honor and integrity and undeserving of the ephithet “racist.”
I have known Pastor Loera for many years and am privileged to call him a friend. He has demonstrated he is trustworthy and is a servant leader both of the congregation he leads and in the Fresno/Clovis area as well. He does not exhibit either a messiah or savior complex. Instead he quietly ministers in this community, not desiring notoriety but, rather, seeking to serve. He knows that I live and pastor “north of Shaw” and still associates with me (even though by Mr. Slatic’s statement, Pastor Loera should consider me a racist).
In my brief acquaintance with Trustee Slatic I initially observed a man who admitted error and assured me he had learned from his experiences. I salute that in any person. My observation of his actions since then, beginning with our meeting at Uncle Harry’s, has led me to the conclusion that he believes himself to be the only arbiter of truth, considers opposition a personal attack and is willing to engage in gamesmanship and manipulation in order to be the winner in conflict or supposed conflict.

3. Reverend Dr. Gordon R. Donoho Dear Keisha, Let it be known that Pastor Eli Loera is one of Fresno's top leaders and pastors. He is a man of utmost integrity. I have known Eli for well over 20 years and worked with him on numerous projects and events. Knowing that Pastor Eli was a leader and man of God I asked him to become the leader of the Fresno-Clovis Pastor Clusters which I founded in 1998. Pastor Clusters represent over 200 local pastors. He also leads the every Tuesday morning pastors prayer time with dozens of pastors with a broad ethic representation. As a former Army Ranger he is well disciplined, speaks with authority and is loved by the other pastors across our great city. I stand with Pastor Eli Loera 100%. Reverend Dr. Gordon R. Donoho
4. Jerry Dyer
I have been asked to provide my opinion and views of Pastor Eli Loera as a result of his integrity being called into question.
I have known Pastor Eli for more than twenty years and have worked very closely with him on community issues during the entire time I was the police chief in Fresno. Pastor Eli has also worked closely with other members of the police department to address neighborhood issues.
Over the years I have found Pastor Eli to be a man of tremendous wisdom, faith, and character. It is because of these traits and his dedication to the community that I asked Eli to serve on the Police Chiefs Advisory Board, as well as the selection panel for Deputy Police Chief. I have come to value Eli’s opinion as he is a person of extreme integrity and is not afraid to speak the truth, even when the truth hurts.
Pastor Eli has also become a very close friend of mine. He is someone that I trust completely and am able to share confidential information with. I have never once questioned his integrity.
Pastor Eli Loera has done so much for the Fresno Community at large. He is not restricted by the interest of his own church, but has taken on additional responsibilities to represent the interest of other churches and Pastors throughout the Fresno and Clovis areas. When issues of concern arise, Eli is

B-32, PRESENT and DISCUSS Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Praxis Collaborative Presentation by Chief of Equity and Access Lindsay Sanders and Team. OPPROTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEM B-32.
For the record, there was one individual to submit a public comment for Agenda Item B-32. It is as follows:
1. Marisa Moraza
On behalf of Fresno Barrios Unidos, we commend the district’s new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Praxis Collaborative. This is an important step in centering the needs of students through an equity framework. We also want to stress the importance of creating clear actions that confront the deep inequities in Fresno Unified that are rooted in racism. It is essential that the collective name inequities and make a bold commitment to racial justice in order to create racially just schools. We support actions such as the implementation of Ethnic Studies and non-euro-centric curriculum in the district. We ask that such programs receive sustainable funding and a strong commitment from the district administration and staff to ensure appropriate implementation that will uplift and not harm our students. We hope this collective takes actionable steps to address the harms of policing in our schools, contracts with probation, punitive discipline measures, and racism in the district. We cannot overlook the high suspension and push our rate for students in Special Education and students with disabilities. We cannot overlook students who are systems impacted, justice involved, or are English Language Learners. We ask for clear plans for equitable language access as well as language preservation. We ask for clear and accessible disaggregated data. FUSD must commit to racial justice and equity with every decision made. We look forward to hearing more from the DEI Praxis Collaborative and hope to see tangible actions and solutions that center equity and justice in our schools.
For the record, Board Members had questions/comments pertaining to Agenda Item B-32. A summary is as follows: Commended the team for their work. Commented there has been trauma recently and historically related to anti-blackness in the district. Shared that non-English speaking parents have felt under served. Asked if components related to healing, weather it is students, parents, staff, people of indigenous color have intentionally been included to provide service or resources to healing. Requested clarity as to how information will be shared with non-English speaking parents. Highly recommended an adjunct community advisory group be part of this work to provide their voice. Requested clarity as to timeline for roll out. Interested in the logo used for the work. Asked if Classified Staff will be included in the training. Chief of Equity and Access Lindsay Sanders was available to provide clarity.

of Trustee Slatic Chief of Staff David Chavez opened item for discussion. OPPROTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEM B-33.

1. Jessica Mahoney
I Jessica Mahoney would like my follow comments read when this item is pulled and put into the record:
Public censure : Where as : terry static needs to stop being address as “ major “

Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 25 of 27
5. Ariel Lopez My name is Ariel Lopez. I am a substitute in the district along with a former FUSD student. I am asking Member Slatic to resign. I am asking the board to remove him from office. There is no reason that someone who tells members of the public, “to go back to the barrio”, should be interacting with our students. He has shown time and time again that he does not know how to conduct himself, as an elected representative. The things he has said and done are horrible and have no place in the district. We are currently in a watershed moment where we must actively fight for equality and justice. Allowing Slatic, to be in a position of power within our very diverse district is a fight in the opposite direction.
For the record, Board President Thomas asked Board Member Major Slatic if he had any comments. Board Member Major Slatic requested Chief of Staff David Chavez to play a video from Sunday Morning Matters for his comment.
For the record, Board Members had questions/comments pertaining to Agenda Item B-33. A summary is as follows: A point of privilege was taken by Board Member Islas to read two letters submitted on this topic. They are as follows:
1. Dr. Paul Binion
Dear Board of Trustees. My name is Paul Binion and I have pastored West Side Church of God and served this community for the past forty-three years. For the past twenty of those years I have served with Pastor Eli Loera, Senior Pastor of Family Christian Assembly. He is a godly, honest, caring, loving husband and father and one who is a leader in our community. I am personally aware of his integrity and forthrightness. He loves his family, his church and this community. He heads the largest collaboration of Christian pastors and leaders in our city and leads us with the sincerity of great character. This collaboration consists of pastors and church leaders of various denominations and ethnicities. Any accusations directed at questioning his honesty or accusing him of being racially discriminatory are unfounded and have no basis. I can vouch and verify in that in every way he is a man worthy of honor and trust. Please contact me for any further inquiries. Sincerely, Dr. Paul Binion.
2. Pastor B.T. Lewis
Blessings to each of you as we pray that you and your families are well during these times of unprecedented health and social challenges in our city and abroad. My name is Pastor B.T. Lewis, II, I pastor the Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church. We are located at 1104 Collins Avenue in the southwestern addition of our city. We have been an active community oriented in ministry in the City of Fresno for over forty years, specializing in evangelism, Christian training, and community service. Many of you I know personally. It has come to my attention that in due time you will be reconsidering the censure of Trustee
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 26 of 27
Major Terry Slatic. I am writing today to express to you my desire to see that his censure continue, as Mr. Slatic has continued to publicly demonstrate contempt and disdain for the Board and fellow Trustees. His desire to be a catalyst for change is wrought with inappropriate behavior, disrespectful language and an impertinent disposition that fails to represent our district and our community in a way that promotes the hope and prosperity of academic excellence that all of our students deserve. We agree with Trustee Slatic that there are definitely areas in which our district can and should improve; however, Trustee Slatic’s innate reliance on his military training and his persistent disregard for our district’s extreme diversity and need for cultural sensitivity make him an improbable source of encouragement for reaching student and district achievement goals. I am also personally insulted by his inference that the character of clergy should be called into question given the mistakes of others in our profession especially in regard to Pastor Eli Loera. Not only is Pastor Loera one of the finest pastoral leaders in our city, in our state, and in his denomination but Pastor Loera is an outstanding husband and father. He is an active and effective bridge builder in our city which I am sure initiated this meeting with Trustee Slatic. Given the well documented behavior of Trustee Slatic and his continued attempt to deliberately and egregiously disrupt the business of Fresno Unified and our commitment to academic excellence for every student in our district, I respectfully request that you extend the censure of Trustee Major Terry Slatic for at least six more months and require if at all possible that he accomplish definitive goals and objectives that will help him build productive working relationships with peers and staff. We are committed to the success of our district. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely submitted, Pastor B.T. Lewis, Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church.
For the record, Board Member questions/comments continued. A summary is as follows: Expressed concern of Major Slatic calling into question the integrity of Pastor Loera. Shared concern that Trustee Major Slatic continues to create a liability for the district. Commented there has been no change in his behavior that would merit the rescinding of the censure, but instead brings to question whether he should remain on the Board. Expressed concern for Trustee Slatic’s continued negating and denying his inappropriate behavior. Encouraged resignation. Shared although behavior has not been deemed criminal it has come at a price tag to the district of over $250,000. Requested the Grand Jury to investigate this further. Shared support of comments by Trustees Islas and Davis. Expressed thought that the most recent action of concern by Trustee Slatic was during his interview with Sunday Morning Matters when he commented he was the only agent of change. Requested for Trustee Slatic to rethink his words which are often hurtful and irresponsible. Requested clarity on term of extension of censure. Encouraged Trustee Slatic to attend implicit bias training and California School Board’s Association’s Governance training. Shared that although Board Members may not agree on everything, bottom line is they still have to function together in support of students and the district. Requested Trustee Major Slatic to get engaged and
Fresno Unified School District DRAFT Board Meeting Minutes August 12, 2020 Page 27 of 27
involved with others in the district who do not look like him. The Board needs to try to move forward and try not to minimize the work of staff.
For the record, Board President Thomas asked Board Member Major Slatic if he would like to comment. Member Major Slatic stated his interview which was played stands for itself.
On a motion by Board Clerk Davis, seconded by Board Member Cazares, Agenda Item B-33 was adopted by a roll call vote of 6-0-1-0 as follows: AYES: Cazares, Davis, Islas, Jonasson Rosas, Mills, and Board President Thomas. ABSTENTIONS: Board Member Major Slatic.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Included in the Board binders are Variable Term Waivers for Teachers that have exhausted the Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) and the Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP).
Recommendations for Variable Term Waivers:
Due to the closure of test centers caused by the shelter-in-place orders, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing has developed a Variable Term Waiver option to grant teachers one extra year on their PIP or STSP to allow them to continue to teach in the 2020/21 school year. With the issuance of the variable term waiver, teachers have an additional year to complete coursework and/or exams so they may become intern-eligible or obtain a preliminary credential for the 2021/22 school year.

Fresno Unified School District Attn: Robert Nelson, Superintendent 2309 Tulare Street Fresno, CA 93 721
Dear Superintendent Nelson,
Thank you so much for your leadership during these extremely challenging times. Your dedication to the children, families and community we all serve is going to get us through the pandemic, and that devotion is much appreciated.
When we launched C2C in 2016, we knew that the only way we were going to be able to improve outcomes for children and families was by getting out of our silos, working together and coordinating our cross-sector resources toward a shared vision. Ensuring that Fresno County children have food, housing, safety, healthcare, behavioral support and more are essential for learning. The trust and collaboration that have become the norm in our communities have helped C2C to grow exponentially over the past few years. The Partnership now includes 71 organizations across 10 sectors.
Having all of our Leadership Council members contribute financial support to C2C shows just how much community leaders value collaboration. As we pursue funding opportunities with the State and philanthropic foundations, your support for local cross-sector connectivity as a way to link, align and leverage resources is key as we seek investments for the COVID-19 restart and recovery process.
Highlights of work that we need to continue include: • Integrated Data System Development: Improving our local capacity for efficient and effective
distribution of resources, and understanding what is impacting student and parent success and wellbeing as multiple sectors provide support
• Leading the coordination of programs and services preconception to age 5 (implementation ofBlueprint and DRIVE 0-5 portfolio)
• Keeping equity at the center of all work and ensuring that it is explicit and actionable as we beginimplementation
COVID-19 Response and Recovery: o coordination of communication pipeline linking schools, CBOs and other sectors to current, reliable
information and resourceso ensuring the distribution of food to isolated rural school districts over spring break and ensuring a
seamless summer food program in our small rural districts throughout the County
