Unidentified Speaker 1, speaking for the Garden Grove Unified School District, opened with the district’s mission and scope, saying, “In every classroom across Garden Grove Unified School District, students are learning, growing, and preparing for the future.” The remarks framed the board’s role in setting direction and supporting student learning across 67 campuses.

The speakers described how the Board of Education governs district policy, selects and evaluates the superintendent, adopts the budget and monitors district health. Unidentified Speaker 3 summarized procedural rules, saying the board’s policies “must follow California education code” and that new agenda items require agreement by two members before being added for a vote.

Speakers asserted academic achievements: Unidentified Speaker 1 said district students “consistently outperform the state and county averages on state test scores, advanced placement success, graduation rates, and the number of students who are eligible to attend UC and CSU schools.” The presenters also said GGUSD has “more California distinguished schools than any district in Orange County.” Those claims were presented as speaker statements; the transcript does not supply comparative data or external sources in support.

On facilities, Unidentified Speaker 2 credited voter support for Measure A and Measure P with modernizing classrooms, installing districtwide air conditioning, adding two athletic stadiums and completing multiple renovations. The speakers positioned these improvements as safety and academic upgrades.

Speakers also detailed student supports. Unidentified Speaker 4 noted the board’s 2019 unanimous adoption of Resolution 11 launching a wellness campaign and said the district expanded school social work and counseling programs, work the district said earned a California Golden Bell Award. Unidentified Speaker 3 described the 2017 unanimous adoption of Resolution 20 to ensure “safe and welcoming schools for students and families of all immigration statuses” and cited five family resource centers that provide workshops and connection to services.

The presentation emphasized the board’s community-facing role — attending events, listening to families and using feedback to inform decisions aimed at equity and student success. The remarks closed with a restatement of the district’s aim to prepare students for college and careers.

Next steps: the remarks were an overview; no motions or votes were recorded in the transcript.
