Speakers told the board that a proposed kindergarten/first-grade combination class at Hollywood Beach would restrict parents’ choices and could create academic and behavioral challenges, particularly for students who did not begin school in the same pathway. Multiple parents described repeated absences by the teacher in question and alleged an overemphasis on punitive discipline and inconsistent use of district curriculum and technology.

Several parents identified the teacher by name and urged the district to review testimony and documentary complaints submitted to the district. A number of presenters said they had collected written statements and that the problem spans multiple years, asserting the issues had not been adequately resolved through prior channels. One parent said the situation left families weighing whether to keep their children at the school or pull them out.

Public commenters also raised classroom-specific anecdotes: a parent described their nonverbal autistic first-grade son’s supervision and health concerns and said the family had raised the matter with the superintendent and special education director; another parent described a kindergarten child who persistently cried at drop-off and said staff did not provide comfort. Speakers asked the board and administrators to investigate and act on the complaints and for clearer communication on classroom assignments and staffing.

Board members did not take formal action during oral communications; the board later closed the regular session and moved to closed session items. Administrators were present during public comment and were asked to follow up through the district’s existing personnel and compliance processes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","HESD Governing Board Meeting 3/24/25","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple parents addressed the board with concerns about a first-grade teacher at Hollywood Beach Elementary and the district’s use of a kindergarten/first-grade combination class, urging administrative action and clearer responses from district leadership.","taxTitle","Hueneme Elementary, School Districts, California","taxId",38263,"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},6106454,"Fred L.

Williams Elementary School administrators presented student enrollment figures, assessment results and new supports to the Hueneme Elementary School District Governing Board, and described plans tied to a California Community School Partnership Program grant.

Principal Maria Granado and administrator Graciela Bautista told the board Williams has 567 students this year and noted demographic data: roughly 60% English learners, about 90% Latino students, roughly 10% Filipino American students and 87% socioeconomically disadvantaged. The presenters said special education services cover roughly 10% of the student population and the school’s staff includes more than 25 teachers plus a four-person special education team.

Granado and Bautista reviewed academic screening and interim data: AIMSweb Plus diagnostic results and local benchmark comparisons showed English language arts on-track rates rising from 33% in fall to 39% by winter. Williams staff said targeted interventions and progress-monitoring within the district’s Panorama Student Success platform are being used to move students out of intensive intervention tiers.

Bautista described teacher-led work using multiple-screening tools (including ESGI for kindergarten) and credited double-digit growth in some early grades, and noted upcoming partnerships with UCLA and UCSD math projects. The school set specific MTSS SMART goals for reading, math and social-emotional learning; for SEL they set a self-efficacy target to rise from 50% to 55%.

Presenters described schoolwide SEL supports — counselor-led lessons, the Second Step curriculum for K–5, and small-group interventions — and listed student programs such as Circle of Friends, Big Buddy/Little Buddy, Student Council and Safety Patrol. Williams staff also described launch of the Den Wellness Center, opened early with modest funds and donations and staffed by an RTI teacher and Healthy Start social worker Kenya Muniz. The center is intended to provide wraparound supports and expand as the community-school model moves into implementation.

Granado and Bautista credited staff collaboration and professional development, and noted the school is using strategies such as Text Talk Time, Fishbowl Discussion and Growth Circles. They closed by describing planned next steps for the community school coordinator positions and expanded parent engagement and enrichment offerings.

No formal board action was required during the presentation.","School leaders at Fred L.

District staff told the board the recommendation was made under California’s Proposition 58 requirements and followed a feasibility study after more than 30 parent requests for a DLI program at Haycox. The staff presentation outlined a timeline that would begin collaborative planning this spring and, pending implementation steps, register TK and kindergarten students for the 2026–27 school year.

The staff presentation said the district would work with Haycox’s educational partners from April through June 2025 to develop an action plan covering professional learning, choice of instructional program model and instructional materials, and community engagement. Staff recommended an optional professional learning series in July 2025 and again in July 2026. In January 2026 registration for TK and kindergarten would open and staffing decisions would be made in February 2026.

During public comment, at least one parent speaker urged the board to delay approval, saying the proposal had been presented to Haycox teachers without majority buy-in and that staff were already managing multiple changes at the site. The board discussed the feasibility study and the planned professional learning supports before the roll call.

Board member Doctor Wills moved to approve the DLI recommendation; Ms. Gomez seconded the motion. The roll call included recorded ayes from Miss Abalos, Doctor Luis and Miss Bruno, and the chair declared the motion passed.

The board’s approval initiates district planning and community engagement steps described by staff; no further district action or funding details were specified during the meeting.","The Hueneme Elementary School District board voted to establish a Spanish-English dual language immersion program at Haycox Elementary after a feasibility study and public comment; the vote followed a staff presentation on timelines and required steps for a 2026 launch.","actionData","errors"]
