Sunnyside board requests update on AI curriculum, Desert View ag co‑op and STAR transfer process
Summary
Board member Hatemio asked staff for presentations on use of AI in curriculum, a hands‑on agriculture co‑op opportunity linked to Desert View and the process for students moving to STAR; district staff agreed to provide updates on all three.
Mister Hatemio, a governing board member, asked the Sunnyside Unified District staff to present three items at a future meeting: how artificial intelligence is being used in classroom curriculum, the possibility of a hands-on agriculture co‑op tied to Desert View’s agricultural program, and the process for students who choose to transfer to the STAR program.
"What what I'd like to see, there was a presentation at the ASB conference, with 1 of the school district in the state presented on how AI is presented, as part of our curriculum," Mister Hatemio said during the request. He also asked whether students could travel to a nearby reservation co‑op farm for hands-on agricultural training and noted Desert View already has an agricultural co‑op program.
A district staff member, identified in the record as Mister Gaston, responded that the district would provide updates. "So, yeah, we can definitely do give you an update on all 3 of those," Gaston said, agreeing to prepare information about the AI curriculum, the agricultural co‑op possibilities and the STAR transfer process.
Board members did not take formal action on these items in the recorded segment; the exchange was recorded as a request for future agenda presentations and updates. The transcript indicates the board asked staff to return with details rather than adopting policy or approving a program at the session.
If scheduled, the AI presentation would mirror material described by Hatemio as shown at a student leadership (ASB) conference; the agricultural item would explore whether students could access a nearby reservation co‑op farm for supervised, hands‑on training tied to Desert View’s agriculture program. The STAR item seeks clarity about eligibility and administrative steps for students moving from Sunnyside or Desert View to STAR.
District staff did not give timelines or budget estimates for the requested work in the recorded excerpt; those details were described as items staff would report back on at a future meeting.
