The board unanimously approved a motion to adopt the February 3, 2025 minutes and voted to cast the district's ballots for up to five California School Boards Association Delegate Assembly candidates. Mr. Wilson, speaking for district finance staff, summarized the bond issuance: \"this resolution is the board approving that we sell $27,000,000 of bonds. The total bond that passed was $97,000,000,\" and the board then certified the election results and approved the first bond issuance.

The board also approved a clerical correction to the bond-counsel resolution and appointed Atkinson as bond counsel for bond-related legal services. Board members clarified the correction was to change a referenced $27,500,000 figure in the draft to the correct $27,000,000.

On personnel and service items, the board adopted Resolution No. 14-24/25 regarding the reduction or elimination of particular classified personnel positions; that motion passed 4-1 (one board member voted no). The board then adopted Resolution No. 15-24/25 concerning reduction or discontinuance of particular kinds of service; that motion passed 5-0. The board approved an overnight field trip for Hillview Middle School students and approved the consent agenda, which contained contracts, curriculum purchases funded by lottery resources and standard personnel actions.

Votes at a glance (items called during the meeting):
- Approval of 02/03/2025 minutes: unanimous (recorded as yes votes during roll call).
- CSBA Delegate Assembly (vote to select up to five candidates): unanimous.
- Resolution No. 11-24/25 (canvass results of Measure C bond election): adopted (board certified that Measure C passed; district staff referenced a final vote of about 62% in discussion).
- Authorization to issue bonds (first issuance $27,000,000): adopted.
- Appointment of Atkinson as bond counsel (with clerical correction to $27,000,000): adopted unanimously.
- Resolution No. 14-24/25 (reduction/elimination of classified positions): adopted 4-1 (Mr. Tioga recorded as the no vote during roll call).
- Resolution No. 15-24/25 (reduction/discontinuance of particular services): adopted 5-0.
- Hillview Middle School overnight field trip (Catalina Island): adopted 5-0.
- Consent agenda items J3 through J10 (contracts, software, personnel actions, retirements): adopted 5-0.

Board members and district staff who spoke on these items included several board members during roll call and votes, Mr. Wilson (district finance/staff), and Miss Sorrell (staff/legal) who described the clerical correction to the bond-counsel item. The board's formal approvals included both certification of the election and the first step in implementing Measure C capital expenditures by authorizing bond sale and counsel.

The meeting record shows the board discussed technical corrections and asked procedural questions about counsel scope and bond sale timing rather than reopening the substance of Measure C. The board adjourned after routine closing remarks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EWCSD Board of Education Meeting - Tuesday, February 18th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The East Whittier City School District Board of Education on the evening at Laurel Elementary certified the results of the November 5, 2024 Measure C election, authorized an initial bond sale of $27,000,000 and approved related bond counsel, and adopted multiple personnel and program resolutions and routine consent items.","taxTitle","East Whittier City Elementary, School Districts, California","taxId",38264,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6323776,"Scott Avenue TK teacher says lack of nearby restroom creates safety and ratio concerns; district staff say planning underway",59,3423000,3364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2341099-9de710e556d0632e370bbd289f5b86c3&start=3423&end=3364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2341099-9de710e556d0632e370bbd289f5b86c3/thumbnail_3423000.jpg","/articles/6323776/California/Scott-Avenue-TK-teacher-says-lack-of-nearby-restroom-creates-safety-and-ratio-concerns-district-staff-say-planning-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6323776-4e1c88963e73eb0020d4744a11f09379/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148102&Signature=c6tu3aBiI~rqnFCu6EQHXbdypjvEhk7v9OR7mG2Mphe7PYJqgvavEMD4-XySswxNwqAKDf8EGbCwUsvfQ52ajdHNS0Po20-R8LuWWPpXEpnZInPngib9JdF82fob665pxUySFXfBOhg9pw9QRK6cNbQQQ4a9GqM80EDdwftjpj17GkXRMwGaiM~OnREk4BQSsdj7GcpHyObXvcsw1qbTlD0atJ3haxxHqktYIPi-4AW~um~bfaOzorL~BXTXkcB753LLvMyow66YbentHt07XhvBoFFE4~zarWxRipEueHhhtgAz8EwFodKTutP3BMgSUSqekEAHx1m0moMZzm65Hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jessica Will, the transitional kindergarten teacher at Scott Avenue, told the East Whittier City School District Board that her classroom lacks a restroom nearby and that the omission creates safety and compliance concerns.

\"My students' safety, my ability to do my job effectively, and our compliance with state mandated ratios is still at risk,\" Will said during the citizen communication portion of the meeting. She said she had followed the district's chain of command, that parents had received responses while she had not, and that the issue will grow more urgent when transitional kindergarten expands to include 3-year-olds next school year.

Will asked the board to provide an immediate solution such as constructing a restroom near the classroom, providing an age-appropriate portable restroom, or funding a second instructional aide so the class can maintain a 1-to-12 adult-to-student ratio while students use facilities.

District staff later told the board they have begun planning for TK expansion and had met with principals to discuss classroom placement and toileting needs. A district speaker said principals will bring detailed facility maps and that the district has sought input from transitional kindergarten instructional aides and will form a committee to outline a plan for the 2025-26 school year.

No formal board motion or vote was recorded on the restroom request; the transcript records staff direction and notes that the district will meet with the teacher and continue background work. The teacher requested an immediate remedy; staff described ongoing planning and a forthcoming update to the teacher and union representatives.

The issue was raised during the public-comment segment of the meeting; it was not part of the formal consent or action agenda but the board and staff described follow-up steps.","Jessica Will, the transitional kindergarten teacher at Scott Avenue, told the board that a lack of a nearby restroom poses safety and ratio problems for her class and urged immediate district action.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6323771,"District expands \"Share Station\" carts to reduce meal waste and provide extra food to students",84,3956000,4040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2341099-9de710e556d0632e370bbd289f5b86c3&start=3956&end=4040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2341099-9de710e556d0632e370bbd289f5b86c3/thumbnail_3956000.jpg","/articles/6323771/California/District-expands-Share-Station-carts-to-reduce-meal-waste-and-provide-extra-food-to-students","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6323771-41dc047e9abcf3aa0f1463783e505672/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148102&Signature=l~kTGGZWVRQrjqiGjMPZk8qxbQEdwNe62O4Lf~OsWBzVmCyzlUVdKL6Uicv5UzdpZS5d70TXMM~hT1je0Xw22BdnkSRHn8NhgA-Z3kEw8HUZ~7imujM41wOZB8GOGHO0IRsE9HvUQRprAnUzdSWbJWyAQ7TXGfmUODOmsxWCBu9iQuQwen3x3Fk8aNipW7HgCjrfmDsfZhpzuDEjfnxU6i78n-BUNIb0PaHmQkpeHyf5xELVxZs21AO0UoBJgyl5yylcK0GNiyb05S3LAbavgocJolS5qtGPG7KJfZs37YTElsg89i2YBnkx8wzUgn9X5VUf1b1z9oA7pqKUNCNLrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The East Whittier City School District's nutrition services department announced at the board meeting that, starting this month, \"Share Station\" carts will be available to all students during meal service.

The program was presented during the nutrition services spotlight segment; the board did not take a formal vote on the item at this meeting.","The district's nutrition services will make shared-table carts available to students during meal service so unopened or uneaten items can be redistributed, a program the board described as a step to reduce waste and provide additional nutrition to students.","actionData","errors"]
