“We’re in the midst of a transformational summer,” Naomi said, summarizing a slate of active construction projects supported by the Measure EE bond.

Why it matters: Measure EE funds long‑term capital improvements to school facilities. Progress — and any delays — affect classrooms, student schedules, safety upgrades and the district’s ability to open improved spaces at the start of the next school year.

Highlights from Naomi’s update

• Holly Glen TK conversion: Naomi reported the TK conversion project started in January and is about 85% complete. She described finished finishes (tile, epoxy flooring, luxury vinyl tile), upcoming installations (an 8‑foot whiteboard and short‑throw smart projector in each room) and a change order (Change Order No. 4, $52,000) to lower TK cabinets for accessibility; the contractor will repurpose removed cabinet stock into teacher workroom islands.

• TK playground: construction for the TK playground broke ground May 27; Naomi showed photos of footing and panel installation and said the surface will be a rubber play surface with a shade structure to follow.

• SLC relocation and demolition: the SLC relocation project began after DSA approval; crews started June 18. Portables and a restroom unit were transported and staged on site and Naomi said the existing SLC building is scheduled for demolition tomorrow, with utility safing and portable staging already completed.

• Districtwide flooring and ceiling tile refresh: work began May 21. Naomi said crews have completed multiple buildings at both Aviation Elementary and Wiseburn Middle School; the middle school gym floor required additional manufacturer repairs and the flooring contractor is making fixes. She said move‑back and cleaning are being coordinated with movers and site staff so rooms are ready for occupancy.

• Door access controls: installers are placing card readers and locks districtwide; Naomi described the two‑step process (hardware installation followed by programming and staff training). She said ID cards and card printing workflows will be deployed so sites can issue temporary cards for substitutes and visitors.

• Sports complex: the Measure EE sports complex is roughly 20% complete; Naomi said work includes off‑site driveway approaches, grading and footings for the concessions building. The schedule recovered work after abatement of transite pipe pushed the project 14 days behind schedule; contractors are coordinating to make up days and Naomi said portables and other dependencies have been cleared so demolition and next phases can proceed.

• Del Air baseball field and Del Air grounds: phase 1 (decomposed granite and landscaping) was completed ahead of schedule; phase 2 irrigation and sod installation are planned and Naomi said crews will pressure‑test irrigation and start installing turf shortly.

• Signage and scoreboards: Naomi said district marquees and ID panels were replaced and a second phase will add concrete monument lettering and other site‑specific signage. She and board members discussed the placement and permitting implications for digital displays near the sports complex and along community roadways; Naomi said some locations may require additional DSA or city review.

• DSA approvals and outstanding items: Naomi said the DaVinci cafeteria modernization and kitchen modernization designs have been delayed at the Division of the State Architect since March; the district is pressing the design team to escalate those approvals so work can proceed.

Board reaction and community note

Board members thanked Naomi and the construction team and recognized the community for passing Measure EE. Roger, the board president, thanked residents for the bond passage and said the projects will show the community’s investment in schools once students return to updated classrooms.

Ending

Naomi said the district will schedule a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee tour to let committee members and the public see construction progress. She encouraged board members and community members to participate in site tours, and noted the program team is coordinating closely with site staff to complete punch lists and return rooms to service.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board Meeting 6/26/25","oneSentenceSummary","The district’s Measure EE bond program manager reported progress across multiple construction projects: the Holly Glen TK conversion is 85% complete, the TK playground is in installation, districtwide flooring and ceiling refresh is underway, the sports complex is 20% complete and the SLC building is set for demolition tomorrow.","taxTitle","Wiseburn Unified, School Districts, California","taxId",54415,"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},6183576,"Grant consultant reports eight applications, four wins and $600,000 pending including a $500,000 DOJ safety request",1108,1297000,2405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096423-43cd71c80017f85fc7b74232a6b328dc&start=1297&end=2405","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096423-43cd71c80017f85fc7b74232a6b328dc/thumbnail_1297000.jpg","/articles/6183576/California/Grant-consultant-reports-eight-applications-four-wins-and-600000-pending-including-a-500000-DOJ-safety-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183576-848bbcac973de593a15742b37be55dbc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770485357&Signature=CWfW0S6k0B7GpwSsK96Tt~F4n1sOQnVt0ccGtqpnuIV6-l-T-Rv-is2lpXXrDacr5cRc4T4YwvJuG7ECJfrrfCIQBw7SHIjZo44A6p28Dpisc5O3oQpW7h2uId3a21uLygRm2~ammb4XaFiLMTi6yxXAx3dffaffMo9kpcZd-yssG8rg~ciqREb1FHCkTNYFYLF9SzjZbDzBsccvg3RdbLEJHhrVAzYzSTPWuguOVbOwQgTKitqSAvVElYHl1RJScG8mS6ykPk-JtwCrLSBbZJ7BO4860ZAo62eVtq4m9aEZJlcsQx-eg9DnLRDaQro2qsIF~O5HyqBLSC0zSqxHKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bridgette Wells, a contract grant‑writing consultant working with Wiseburn Unified, told the board the district has submitted eight grant applications since January, won four awards totaling just under $40,000 and has roughly $600,000 in pending requests, including a $500,000 federal proposal for school safety upgrades.

Wells said she was hired in January for a six‑month term to build Wiseburn’s grant capacity, map district priorities to funder opportunities and produce reusable program descriptions and budgets. “All of these we fulfilled and a couple of these we exceeded,” she said of the contract goals.

Why it matters: grants are a common way school districts supplement restricted and discretionary revenue to fund arts, STEM, career‑connected learning and safety improvements without increasing local taxes.

Wins, pendings and program focus

Wells said the district secured three Project Lead The Way (PLTW) awards — one for each elementary school — to support Project Lead The Way training and participation, and won an Arts Advancement grant from the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture focused on musical theater programming. She said the combined awards to date total just shy of $40,000.

Pending applications include a California Department of Education (CDE) media/CTE pipeline application that Wells said could bring about $75,000 for the middle school, and a request to Digital Promise that would provide membership and potential future opportunities. Most recently, Wells said, the district submitted a $500,000 request to the U.S. Department of Justice for “the build out of a 100 new security cameras across the district, including in the sports complex, and…upgrading the door access controls” at campuses; if funded, Wells said the request would also support access‑control upgrades and door hardware.

Wells described the grant work as both external (researching funders) and internal (creating program narratives, budgets, metrics, and a handoff process for implementation and stewardship). She said the district submitted eight applications during the contract term, has four pending and has already won four. “So far, we’ve gotten all of the awards we’ve gotten feedback on,” she told the board.

Board reaction and next steps

Boardmember Rebecca offered to assist with foundation outreach, noting local philanthropic relationships: “If there’s anything that is there… I’m happy to do that,” she said. Board members discussed coordination with existing consultants who pursue state matching funds, and Wells said she would coordinate to avoid duplicative effort and to share research and materials across teams.

Wells said she had been offered an extension for another six months to build district capacity and pursue larger awards, and recommended continued training for district and Wiseburn Education Foundation staff on grant processes and grant management.

Ending

District and foundation leaders will decide whether to extend the consulting contract and to begin implementation work if pending grants are awarded; Wells recommended continued data standardization and program materials to increase the district’s competitiveness for larger, multi‑year awards.","Bridgette Wells told the board she submitted eight grant applications in a six‑month engagement, won four (about $40,000), and has roughly $600,000 pending — including a $500,000 U.S. Department of Justice proposal to fund safety upgrades and 100 security cameras.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6183580,"Wiseburn presents annual local indicators; chronic absenteeism drops, students report steady access to materials",1188,108000,1296000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096423-43cd71c80017f85fc7b74232a6b328dc&start=108&end=1296","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096423-43cd71c80017f85fc7b74232a6b328dc/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6183580/California/Wiseburn-presents-annual-local-indicators-chronic-absenteeism-drops-students-report-steady-access-to-materials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183580-491f6c6c5b2b449501c2fd38491706a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770485357&Signature=dKdmihNNVl~2FaHUBdoR60DzJh86vr3GAyCndooAxsAplPXE9tfcSZICZLzWol8Mj8WrVPzoI5IhiNNttWtCyMAXGSibLAfn1ho-1ZrUt5yL4Yc1YyGH4Qh3s-bJicephKq8a2Jpnwz5oQEQaU0kf61pqh2LKz-lhPPU9VyILQCWRP54cDQtuSu2G9e93MIfJQC6TZv2qsv9f3FF8MA5dnCl6bVkVU1viAYiz7puydjANdkKngug6mHUIXfG-C3jkbqIawujsd95ywcIhZqUS9nYAKhhpFJYvAxgEXmLZK9GcLjp0Dh250C0IkoQfB1ERMEdt9A3hGC2H4jb-5OVfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Maggie Mayberry presented Wiseburn Unified School District’s annual local indicators to the board, reporting several gains and areas for continued attention, including a decline in chronic absenteeism and full access to instructional materials for the district’s 2,524 students.

The local indicators are part of the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process, a self‑assessment the district uses to measure progress on the state’s priorities. Mayberry said the indicators are “a little bit of, like, a self check of how we’re doing.” The district will submit the indicators to the county and the California Department of Education after the board’s LCAP approval.

Why it matters: the local indicators feed into the LCAP, which guides how the district targets state and local funding for students, including English learners, students with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students.

Key findings presented

• Enrollment and subgroups: the district reported 2,524 students; English learners declined about 2% year over year, students with disabilities rose nearly 5%, and economically disadvantaged counts were included as part of subgroup monitoring. (Presented by Maggie Mayberry.)

• Basic conditions: Mayberry reported 0% of teachers on misassignment and that 100% of students have access to adopted instructional materials and that the district’s schools are in good repair. She clarified those figures during the presentation when numbers and labels were being read from her dashboard.

• Professional learning and standards implementation: Mayberry said 83% of staff agree district and school leaders support professional learning and 86% of staff report professional learning positively impacts students.

• School climate and social‑emotional learning: Dr. Ingram presented survey results from the California Healthy Kids Survey and district surveys: “Our elementary students, 72% of them responded positively to questions like, resolving conflicts, acting responsibly, and fostering respect,” he said, noting that was slightly down from 76% the prior year. Dr. Ingram also reported improvements in teacher responses: 95% of teachers said adults at school care about every student, up from 94% the prior year.

• Attendance and chronic absenteeism: the district reported average daily attendance around 94.5% as of the April reporting period (down slightly from 94.8% the previous year). Chronic absenteeism on the dashboard was reported at 10.3%, down from 16.1% in the prior year.

• Family and community engagement: Mayberry said the district logged more than 131 Constant Contact messages and 367 social media posts during a recent reporting window; parent satisfaction with district communication was reported at 82%, satisfaction for opportunities for input at 74% and participation opportunities at 80%.

Independent study and learning recovery

Board members asked about interaction between independent study (the district’s “learning opportunity” program) and the district’s learning recovery efforts. Dr. Ingram said compliance with Education Code requirements limited the district’s ability this year to audit teacher‑level work for every absent student: “In order to meet the requirements of Ed Code, we have to make sure that… we didn’t have the capacity to check‑in with every teacher and their individual assignments,” he said, and the district is looking at ways to improve documentation and participation for next year, especially at the middle school level.

Board action and next steps

The board considered the local indicators as part of the LCAP presentation. Mayberry said the district met the local indicator standards being reported and will include the indicators with the LCAP packet sent to the county and then to the California Department of Education after formal LCAP approval by the board.

Ending

District staff recommended the board adopt the LCAP and the accompanying indicators so the district can finalize submission to the county and state, and staff said they will continue to refine goal lines and peer comparisons on the district dashboard to help set measurable targets for next year.","At a board meeting, district staff presented Wiseburn Unified’s annual local indicators tied to the LCAP, reporting a drop in chronic absenteeism from 16.1% to 10.3%, full access to instructional materials and mixed results on school connectedness and professional learning measures.","actionData","errors"]
