County supervisor presents multi‑million support; district honors 48 PBIS schools
Summary
San Bernardino County Supervisor Joe Baka Jr. presented a major county contribution to the district and the board recognized 40 Gold and 8 Platinum PBIS schools for positive behavioral supports; principals accepted awards for group photos.
The board meeting opened with special recognitions and a county check presentation. Communications manager Maria Garcia introduced San Bernardino County Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baka Jr., who spoke about his long‑term support for local schools and presented a county check described during remarks as a $3 million investment in local projects including a Field of Dreams at Curtis Middle School.
Board and community members applauded as school administrators and student leaders gathered for photos. The district then recognized its PBIS award winners: 40 Gold and eight Platinum schools were called in groups for administrators to accept certificates and join group photos.
Why it matters: The county’s contribution and the PBIS honors underscore community partnership and districtwide efforts to improve school climate and student engagement. The PBIS awards reflect school‑level implementation of positive behavioral interventions, which the district ties to improved attendance and reduced bullying.
What happened next: The board recessed into its regular agenda items after the photo opportunities; no formal vote was required for the recognitions. The board agenda later recorded motions and votes on resolutions and personnel matters as part of routine business.
