In a poignant farewell, the board gathered to mark the end of an era in their current meeting space, reflecting on the significant memories created within the walls of the boardroom. As the district prepares to transition to a new facility, the sentiment of nostalgia was palpable among attendees, with acknowledgments of the past intertwined with hopes for the future.
During the meeting, key figures in the district were recognized for their contributions as they prepare to embark on new journeys. Brenda Walker, the outgoing president of the ACT, was commended for her leadership during both challenging and prosperous times, leaving a lasting impact on the district and its union family. Her successor, Steven, was congratulated on his new appointment.
The board also bid farewell to two assistant principals, Ashley Davis and Miss Kalinski. Davis, who has been promoted to assistant superintendent in another district, was praised for her transformative work at BST, which evolved from a nascent program to a thriving entity under her guidance. Kalinski, although with the district for a shorter period, was noted for her significant contributions to the Chino High family before her move to a district in Irvine.
The most emotional farewell was reserved for Miss Fellows, who is retiring after years of dedicated service. Her departure was met with heartfelt sentiments, highlighting the deep connections formed within the district.
As the meeting concluded, the board emphasized that while they may be leaving their current space, the memories and achievements shared will continue to resonate in their new home.
