Community members praise Rialto Unified programs; presenter urges removal of agenda item 3

At a Rialto Unified meeting, community speakers and a meeting presenter praised district programs and staff across several schools and publicly asked the board to withdraw agenda item 3.

The presenter who spoke at the podium named individual campuses — including Hu Middle School, Eva Guilford Middle School and Eisenhower High School — and highlighted college-and-career funds, core courses such as mathematics and English, and teacher recognition. The presenter also read a list of parent and staff representatives and said the community "apoya" and supports the district’s programs.

During the remarks the presenter asked the board to remove an item from the agenda, saying in Spanish, "gustaría retirar uno punto tres," a request to withdraw agenda item 3. The transcript does not record a formal motion on that removal or the board’s immediate response.

The chair later called the meeting to order and recognized Superintendent Dr. Alvarez before the board moved on to routine procedural business. Speakers during the public-comment and presentation segments also referenced cultural programming and events tied to Black History month and named local leaders and organizations in support of district efforts.

The public remarks named multiple staff and volunteers by school site and noted the district’s focus on college and career readiness; however, no formal action on agenda item 3 is recorded in the available transcript segments. The conflict-of-interest resolution that followed was discussed separately and is the subject of a separate item in these meeting records.

The meeting proceeded after public remarks and procedural items; the transcript ends after administrative notes and does not include a final decision on the requested removal of agenda item 3.
