TO: Board of Education
FROM: Dr. Vivian Ekchian, Superintendent
PREPARED IN: Superintendent’s Office
SUBJECT: Resolution – Recognizing the Rich Culture, Contributions, and Value of
our Black Students and Community Members
This report provides an opportunity for the Board of Education to discuss adopting a resolution,
“Recognizing the Rich Culture, Contributions, and Value of our Black Students and Community
Members.”
The Glendale Unified School District believes that we have a special responsibility to understand
and intentionally work to eliminate racism in our curricula, our classroom cultures, and our
relationships with our students, our parents/guardians, and each other because our collective
future depends on it. The Glendale Unified School District celebrates the diversity of this nation,
and that includes the past, present and ongoing contributions of African Americans in this
country.
Since 1976, the month of February has been designated as African American History Month. The
annual Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action will take place during the month of
February to coincide with, and augment, African American History Month. The 2020 week of
action is February 3-7.
The California State Board of Education recognizes in its Policy Statement on Multicultural
Education that each student needs an opportunity to understand the common humanity
underlying all people; to develop pride in his or her own identity and heritage; and to understand,
respect, and accept the identity and heritage of others.
Education Code 37220 and GUSD Administrative Regulation 6115 describe the expectation that
"schools shall include exercise commemorating and directing attention to the history of the civil
rights movement in the United States and particularly the role therein of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr."
Each year, across the District, teachers plan lessons and activities to honor Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. and his contributions to the nation. In past years, these have included lessons, read-
alouds, displays, speakers, assemblies, flag ceremonies, announcements, and acts of kindness
and service to others. Yellow Ribbon Week enhances these activities.
Glendale Unified School District
Information Report No. 1

The Teaching and Learning department has prepared an extensive resource list of lesson plans
and online resources related to African American History Month and have been shared with all
principals to distribute to teachers. This resource list includes connections to grade level content
standards and links to resources that are readily available to teachers. In addition, schools are
being asked to plan acts of service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Each school will
design what acts of service will most benefit their school and community and these acts of
service will occur during the months of January and February.
At the request of the Board President, the accompanying resolution, “Recognizing the rich
culture, contributions, and value of our Black students and community members,” is being
presented to the Board for review and comments. Should the consensus of the Board be to move
forward, it will be brought back for Action, with any modifications, at the February 4, 2020
Board meeting.
TO SUPPORT 2019-2020 BOARD PRIORITY NO. 2: Create a Culture of Learning – Support
student learning with safe schools and programs that emphasize and increase inclusion, build
positive relationships, and continue to enhance opportunities for life-long success.

SUBJECT: Fall 2019 Panorama Survey Results
Educational Services collaborated with several departments and Panorama Education last
year to develop a research-based survey to gather actionable data on socioemotional
learning at school sites. The six topics selected for inclusion in the survey were:
• Social Awareness
• Growth Mindset
• Self-Efficacy
• Sense of Belonging
• Emotion Regulation
• School Safety
The survey was administered in grades 4 – 12 during the September 30 – October 11
window. During this time, approximately 16,200 students completed the survey for a
93% completion rate. The survey was broken down into two parts and there were 33
questions that were differentiated for 4th – 5th graders and for 6th – 12th graders.
A summary of the results along with where GUSD falls within the national comparison
group is provided on the following page. The “National Percentile” represents where
GUSD falls in comparison to Panorama’s Benchmarks. National Benchmarks allow
GUSD to compare scores to results from Panorama’s national dataset. National
Benchmarks include survey results from more than 11,500 schools and 9,000,000
students across diverse geographic areas, school types, and achievement levels.

Results
Overall, when compared to national percentile ranges, the results show generally positive
socioemotional learning data in Gr. 4 – 5 with all topics other than Emotion Regulation
above 60% favorable. Emotion Regulation is worthy of deeper analysis as it fell in the
40th – 59th percentile compared to other school districts nationally.
The questions that comprise the Emotion Regulation score are below:
• How often are you able to pull yourself out of a bad mood?
• When everybody around you gets angry, how relaxed can you stay?
• How often are you able to control your emotions when you need to?
• Once you get upset, how often can you get yourself to relax?
• When things go wrong for you, how calm are you able to stay?
For Gr. 6-12, GUSD students scored above most schools in Growth Mindset and Emotion
Regulation. Compared to other schools, students scored lowest in Self-Efficacy and
Sense of Belonging.
The questions that comprise the Self-Efficacy score are below:
• How confident are you that you can complete all the work that is assigned in your
classes?
• When complicated ideas are presented in class, how confident are you that you
can understand them?
• How confident are you that you can learn all the material presented in your
classes?
• How confident are you that you can do the hardest work that is assigned in your
classes?
• How confident are you that you will remember what you learned in your current
classes, next year?
The questions that comprise the Sense of Belonging score are below:
• How well do people at your school understand you as a person?
• How connected do you feel to the adults at your school?
• How much respect do students in your school show you?
• How much do you matter to others at this school?

The table on the following pages shows the percent favorable response for each school.
The highlighted percentages indicate the highest outcome for that topic.
Next Steps
Teachers and administrators received school results, including subgroup data.
Administrators, Counselors, and School Psychologists also received student-level data so
they can follow up with students whose survey results suggest they may need support.
These data points will also be used to strategically plan student circles to gather more
feedback. Forty-seven school site trainings have been scheduled to analyze the data and
discuss next steps with leadership teams and faculty. Coordinators Dr. Stepan
Mekhitarian and Douglas Laing will be conducting these trainings and will work with
school sites to identify subgroup trends. They will also share information about the
Playbook, a toolkit provided by Panorama with research-based strategies to address areas
of growth.
The survey will be administered again during Spring 2020 to gauge progress towards
increased favorable responses for all six topics. An information report will be presented
to the Board of Education after that administration of the survey.

PREPARED BY: Hagop Eulmessekian, Director, Student Support Services
SUBJECT: Yellow Ribbon Week – January 21-24, 2020
Background
Yellow Ribbon Week in the Glendale Unified School District is Violence Prevention
Week. It takes place the week beginning with the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday
commemoration in January every year. This school year, it will be the week of January
21-24, 2020. This annual recognition supports Safe and Drug Free Schools’ message that
schools must be safe havens for students to excel and develop skills for a successful
future. Yellow Ribbon Week raises awareness about keeping California’s schools safe,
violence free, and honors the victims of school violence to ensure that senseless tragedies
never happen again. Yellow Ribbon Week also raises awareness about how and where
students can get help when experiencing ideations of self-harm. During this week,
students and schools focus on strategies to stop violence towards others and self.
Students are reassured and encouraged to trust and approach adults for help, on or off
campus, when they or their friends are faced with such situations. GUSD encourages all
to follow the See Something, Say Something campaign with fidelity. Students and
schools will participate in activities throughout this week in partnership with Dignity
Health/Glendale Memorial Hospital and The Great Kindness Challenge.
Yellow Ribbon Week and the Great Kindness Challenge
The highlight and centerpiece of Yellow Ribbon Week is participation in The Great
Kindness Challenge. GUSD is recognized as a Kindness Certified School District,
proudly displaying the Kindness Certified School District Seal on the GUSD website, as
the GUSD logo is placed on the Great Kindness Challenge website in recognition of
districtwide kindness campaign. The Great Kindness Challenge is a proactive and
positive bullying prevention initiative that improves school climate and increases student
engagement. The Great Kindness Challenge is devoted to students performing as many
acts of kindness as possible. Students accept the challenge and show the world that
kindness matters. Students are encouraged to continue sharing kindness at home, in their

TO: Board of Education
FROM: Dr. Vivian Ekchian, Superintendent
SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Kelly King, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services
SUBJECT: Proposed Revisions to Board Policies Relating to Students and
Instruction
This report will provide the Board of Education with information on the need to revise
existing Board Policies BP 5145.11 (Questioning and Apprehension at School by Law
Enforcement Officers); BP 5136 (Gangs); BP 6146.5 (Elementary/Middle School
Graduation Requirements); and BP 6154 (Homework/Makeup Work) as recommended
by the California School Boards Association (CSBA) and to comply with Education
Code and federal and state laws.
BP 5145.11 - Questioning and Apprehension at School by Law Enforcement
Officers
CSBA Update: July 2011
Last GUSD Update: April 2017
Staff is recommending the Board update this Board Policy (BP) to more closely align to
suggested California School Boards Association (CSBA) language, cite appropriate
Education Code, and include all relevant legal references. Changes to the policy do not
reflect any changes to practice. New language is included regarding subpoenas to
students age 12 or older.
BP 6146.5 - Elementary/Middle School Graduation Requirements
CSBA Update: March 2000
Last GUSD Update: October 2002
Staff is recommending the Board update language found in BP 6146.5 to reflect current
legal references and CSBA suggested language related to Elementary/Middle School
Graduation Requirements. Upon approval, the accompanying Administrative Regulation
for middle school promotion requirements will also be updated to reflect current practices.
The language currently in BP 6146.5 is now found in BP/AR 6143-Courses of Study.

BP 6154 - Homework/Makeup Work CSBA Update: December 2019
Last GUSD Update: August 2004
Staff recommends the Board update this policy to include up-to-date legal references and
CSBA suggested language regarding homework and makeup work. The revised policy
includes language from a new State law, AB982, that requires teachers to give makeup
work to students who have been suspended two or more days, upon request by either the
student or their parent/guardian, and if the homework is turned in upon their return or
within a reasonable time frame set by the teacher it would either be graded or not counted
against the student if it was not graded before the end of the grading period.
The proposed revised BPs are presented to the Board of Education for first reading.
Should the consensus be to move forward, the policies will be placed on the Board
agenda for approval on February 4, 2020. Further, upon approval of the BPs, the
accompanying Administrative Regulations will be revised as needed following the
standard District process.
Copies of the proposed revised BPs are attached to this memo.

Questioning and Apprehension at School by Law Enforcement Officers
The Board of Education believes that the safety of District students and staff is essential to
achieving the goal of student learning. In accordance with standards specified in law, law
enforcement officers may interview and question students on school premises and may remove
them when appropriate.
This policy applies only to questioning of students by law enforcement and does not apply to
questioning by school resource officers in connection with school discipline issues. In addition,
this policy does not apply to the interviewing of suspected child abuse victims by child
protective agency representatives not accompanied by law enforcement; see AR 5141.4 - Child
Abuse Prevention and Reporting. For searches of students and/or their belongings, see BP/AR
5145.12 - Search and Seizure.
The Superintendent or designee shall collaborate with local law enforcement agencies to
establish procedures which enable law enforcement officers to carry out their duties on school
campus, including, when necessary, the questioning and/or apprehension of students.
Properly identified law enforcement officers have the right to interview students on school
premises as suspects or witnesses. The principal or designee shall ascertain the officer's identity,
official capacity, and the legal authority under which the officer acts, but shall not interfere with
police work. When any law enforcement officer requests an interview with a student, the
principal or designee shall request the officer's identity, his/her official capacity, and the legal
authority under which the interview is to be conducted. The principal or designee shall maintain
a record of all documentation relative to law enforcement interviews of students. The principal
or designee shall maintain records of all documentation relative to law enforcement interviews of
students.
Except in cases of child abuse or neglect, the principal or designee shall attempt to notify the
student's parent/guardian as soon as practicable. In addition, the principal or designee will
inform the police that the parent will be contacted regarding the police purpose. However, if the
officer needs to interview the student immediately, the principal or designee shall accommodate
the questioning in a way that causes the least possible disruption to the school process, gives the
student appropriate privacy, models cooperation with community law enforcement authorities,
and respects the interests of students and parents.
The principal or designee shall accommodate the interview in a way that causes the least possible
disruption for the student and school and provides the student appropriate privacy.
At the law officer's discretion and with the student's approval, the principal or designee may be
present during the interview.

Students - Welfare
Questioning and Apprehension at School by Law Enforcement Officers
Except in cases of child abuse or neglect, the principal or designee shall attempt to notify the
student's parent/guardian as soon as practicable after the law enforcement officer has interviewed
the student on school premises.
If the law officer finds it necessary to remove the student from school, the principal or designee
shall first ascertain the reason for such action and receive approval from the Superintendent or
Superintendent designee. Upon releasing the student, the principal or designee shall, as soon as
practicable, inform the student's parent/guardian of the student's release and the place to which
he/she is reportedly being taken, except when the minor has been taken into custody as a victim
of suspected child abuse.
If a minor student is removed from school into the custody of law enforcement, the principal or
designee shall immediately notify the parent/guardian or responsible relative regarding the
student's release and the place to which he/she is reportedly being taken, except when the minor
has been taken into custody as a victim of suspected child abuse. (Education Code 48906)
Any nonemergency multiagency operation on a school campus involving the District and one or
more police agencies, including immigration agencies, will require prior approval of the
Superintendent or Superintendent designee and the police chief(s) of any participating law
enforcement agencies.
Subpoenas
Although subpoenas may legally be served at school on students age 12 or older, the Board
believes that serving officials should be strongly urged to serve subpoenas at the home of the
student whenever possible. When served at school, the principal or designee shall take
reasonable steps to protect the student's privacy rights and to minimize loss of class time for the
student.

Instruction
Homework/Makeup Work
A. Point of View
1. Homework, if effectively administered, occupies an important place in the
educational program. Through homework, classroom instruction is reinforced,
high expectations are supported, students are motivated toward self-direction, and
the relationship of school and home in the learning process is strengthened.
Homework is an important part of every student's instructional program.
Accordingly, teachers will require regularly assigned homework based upon
classroom instruction and students will be held accountable for completing
homework. Special considerations should include the following:
a. Teachers shall take into consideration students' age, instructional and life
experiences, student needs, instructional levels, and family resources;
b. Home assignments shall be as carefully planned as any classroom activity;
c. Homework assignments shall provide an opportunity either to reinforce
skills and knowledge taught in the classroom or to prepare students for
future classroom activities.
The Board of Education recognizes that meaningful homework assignments can be a valuable
extension of student learning time and assist students in developing good study habits.
Homework shall be assigned when necessary to support classroom lessons, enable students to
complete unfinished assignments, or review and apply academic content for better
understanding.
The Superintendent or designee shall collaborate with school administrators and teachers to
develop and regularly review guidelines for the assignment of homework and the related
responsibilities of students, staff, and parents/guardians.
Homework assignments shall be reasonable in length and appropriate to the grade level and
course. The Board expects that the number, frequency, and degree of difficulty of homework
assignments will increase with the grade level and the maturity of students. Teachers shall
assign homework only as necessary to fulfill academic goals and reinforce current instruction.
As needed, teachers may receive training in designing relevant homework assignments that
reinforce classroom learning objectives.
Although on-time completion of homework is important to maintain academic progress, the
DRAFTDRAFTDRAFTDRAFT
Glendale Unified School District BP 6154
Board Policy Page 2 of 3
Instruction
Homework/Makeup Work
Board recognizes that students learn at different rates. Students shall receive credit for work that
is completed late in order to encourage their continued learning.
Age-appropriate instruction may be given to help students allocate their time wisely, meet their
deadlines, and develop good personal study habits.
At the beginning of the school year, teachers shall communicate homework expectations to
students and their parents/guardians. Homework guidelines also shall be included in student
and/or parent handbooks. These communications shall include the manner in which homework
relates to achievement of academic standards and course content, the impact of homework
assignments on students' grades, any school resources and programs that are available to provide
homework support, and ways in which parents/guardians may appropriately assist their children.
Although it is the student's responsibility to undertake assignments independently,
parents/guardians may serve as a resource and are encouraged to ensure that their child's
homework assignments are completed. When a student repeatedly fails to complete his/her
homework, the teacher shall notify the student's parents/guardians as soon as possible so that
corrective action can be taken prior to the release of any final grades or report cards.
To further support students' homework efforts, the Superintendent or designee may provide
access to school library media centers and technological resources, and/or provide before-school
and after-school programs where students can receive homework assistance from teachers,
volunteers, and/or student tutors. The Board encourages the Superintendent or designee to
design class and transportation schedules that will enable students to make use of homework
support services.
Teachers shall review all completed homework to assess the student's understanding of academic
content and shall provide timely feedback to the student.
Makeup Work
Students who are absent from school shall be given the opportunity to complete all assignments
and tests that can be reasonably provided. As determined by the teacher, the assignments and
tests shall be equivalent to, but not necessarily identical to, the assignments and tests missed
during the absence. Students shall receive full credit for work satisfactorily completed within a
reasonable period of time.
The Superintendent or designee shall notify parents/guardians that no student may have a grade
reduced or lose academic credit for any excused absence when missed assignments and tests are

satisfactorily completed within a reasonable period of time. Such notification shall include the
full text of Education Code 48205. (Education Code 48980)
Suspended Students
When a parent/guardian of a student who has been suspended for two or more school days
requests homework that the student would otherwise have been assigned, the student's teacher
shall provide such homework. If a homework assignment is requested and is turned in to the
teacher by the student either upon the student's return from suspension or within the timeframe
originally prescribed by the teacher, whichever is later, and is not graded before the end of the
academic term, the homework assignment shall not be included in the calculation of the student's
overall grade in the class. (Education Code 48913.5)
The teacher of any class from which a student is suspended may require the student to complete
any assignments and tests missed during the suspension. (Education Code 48913)

REPORTING OUT OF CLOSED SESSION

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
1.
Ingrid Gunnell, parent, spoke about the Black Lives Matter at School resolution.
Having raised her sons in GUSD, she realizes that Black students are put in harm’s
way on a nearly daily basis. From being followed in the bathroom to being called
the “N” words. Until you hear stories from other black families, then you realize
that it did not just happened to your child, but to others as well. Black students
and staff in Glendale represent 2% - 3%, but they should not be trivialized. On
October 22, 2019, she asked the Board that we support Black Lives Matter at
School Week, February 3-7, 2020, but a resolution has not been brought up for
consideration. She is here with a group from Black In Glendale who are in support
of Black Lives Matter at School Week. She brought some curriculum, resources,
and books. These resources are from the NEA. She is disappointed that no action
has been taken.
2. Tanita Harris-Ligons, founder of Black in Glendale, started the organization several
years because one of her sons came home one day and said they do not have a
place and they do not belong anywhere. Her sons started sharing stories that others
kids were happy they were hurting because they have dark skin. One of her sons is
in the RD White Armenian program. Her son does not feel included, because he is
black. She started the group, Black in Glendale, not to divide, but for other
children in the community to see Black children. We need to hear their cries, what
is happening, and to show up for their children.
3. Justice Killebrew asked that the district hire more black teachers. They need staff
that resemble them and teach their history. He asked that we take his advice and
consider his request. They are here to stay.
4. Tasha Jenkins-Morgan, member of Black in Glendale, parent in GUSD, with three
sons who are students in the district. She is here today because they, too, have had
some issues regarding inclusiveness. Her kids have the right to be seen, heard, and
treated fairly. Those things have not happened for their children. Things have
improve for her kids; but there is still more work to do. She requested we adopt
Black History Month in February along with Black Lives Matter at School Week.
They are concerned about what is being taught. It is interesting to her that this
motion to adopt Black History Month was adopted in 1976, and we are still not
celebrating Black History Month in Glendale. It is important that her culture is
included in GUSD and that their kids are celebrated.
MINUTES: December 17, 2019 – Regular Board Meeting
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS (Continued)
5. Dr. Robert Hill said Black History is an important part of American history. It
takes a village to raise a child, whether that child is Black, Latino, Armenian, etc.
It is the responsibility of all educators. We all have an opportunity to do what is
right. In 1962, his mom broke through the color barrier as being the first black
teacher in Orange County. Today, we have to put a stop to the racial intolerance
and the racial neutrality we have in our society. We can do so much better, and we
will do better. It is important to have a sense of belonging. Not only are there
Blacks in Glendale, there are Blacks in America. Many Black folks do not want to
live in Glendale because of the history of Glendale.
6, Gianni Higginbotham, Toll Middle School student, he is here with Black in
Glendale because he supports all of their ideas. He hears the “N” word often
during the day, which should not be acceptable in GUSD because it is racist. He
has started the process of having a Black, African-American Club at Toll, with his
teacher, Mr. Garcia.
7. Frank Higgenbotham, student, said about two weeks ago, a student told him to get
off the plantation. He and his friend were being bullied and harassed by Armenian
kids at Toll. They were pushed and his friend defended him. His friend was
suspended and did not graduate. The other kid did not get any consequences, and
did graduate. That needs to be fixed.
8. Grace Kranin read a few statistics to understand the gravity of what is going on:
75% of black boys do not meet California reading standards. Black students are
suspended three times more than white students. Forty percent of sex trafficking
victims in the United States are Black women, and Black men have the highest risk
of any group of being murdered by police officers. She does not believe we are
responsible for fixing these numbers but we can make a difference by ensuring the
curriculum affirming that they have a history, a legacy. Because everything in this
country is telling them that, they are nothing. She is a product of a predominately
white school system in Burbank. It is devastating to hear the stories of these young
people and to know that twenty-years later they are going through what she had to
go through. Each of you has an opportunity to make a difference so that we do not
have this same conversation twenty years from now.
9. Erin Eisinger, resident, said she got involved in the gun violence prevention
movement after the Parkland tragedy. She is currently the educational lead for
Moms Demand Action in San Gabriel Valley. She is here to show her support to
GUSD and the resolution to make gun safety and gun violence prevention a priority
in the Glendale schools. One hundred people die from gun violence every day.
Education, legislation, and community engagement are the kinds of actions that
have made a difference in other communities. She thanked the school board and
everyone involved in drafting the resolution in working to make our community
and schools safer for our families. She pledges her group will do whatever they can
to support gun violence prevention.
MINUTES: December 17, 2019 – Regular Board Meeting
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS (Continued)
10 Joanna Hess, she is the public education lead for Moms Demand Action. She said
46 kids a week are being killed from gun violence. The number one risk factor of
teen suicide is a gun in the home. So educating parents regarding safe storage is a
huge step. If we want to stop gun shooting, we need to educate parents. They were
thrilled to see LAUSD sending information home to their parents. Parents do not
know about the law that exists about safe storage. Anything you can do to educate
parents could save lives. She thanked the Board for the resolution.
11. Elizabeth Vitanza, parent, thanked the Board for hearing the safe gun storage
resolution today, and asked that they adopt the resolution. She is asking that we do
our part and inform parents on how to safely store their firearms as required by law.
Educating parents and guardians about gun storage is one of the most effective
things we can do. Having an unsecure gun in the home is the top risk factor for
teen suicide, leading to 600 deaths a year. Passing this resolution is a positive step
to take, because she knows that GUSD cares deeply about the safety of our
children.
12. Hollye Dexter is on the Board of Directors of Women Against Gun Violence.
When she was a teenager, a teenager who lived down the block using his father’s
gun shot her 7-year old brother. It was a horrifying scene. Her brother survived; he
has traumatic brain injury. It has been a life-long nightmare. She has been
teaching safe gun storage through the Women Against Gun Violence TALK project
for years. When she is teaching parents, they have no idea what the laws are. She
has done social media for Women Against Gun Violence and her job is to research
this every day. Every day there is a story about a kid who found a gun under the
mattress, in the closet. Parents do not think about it. She tells them if your kids
can find your Christmas presents, they can find your gun.
13. Monna Johnson, Glendale Council PTA president, spoke in support of this
resolution. The safety of our children is one of the main goals of PTA. National
PTA has a rich history of advocating the safety of children. Gun violence is a
public health crisis that affects all of us. Among numerous measures regarding
gun safety that PTA has been advocating for is safe storage of firearm. By
adopting this resolution, you will be reaffirming your commitment of protecting the
safety of our children. We must take every step to create a safe environment for
our children.
14. Victoria Dochoghlian, read a statement on behalf of Assemblymember Laura
Freidman. School shootings have become normalized in our own backyard. Out
of the 45 school shootings in the last year, four were in California. Nearly 78% of
student shooters gained access to a lawfully purchased gun from their residence or
the residence of a relative, 87% of kids know where their parents’ guns are kept,
and 60% have handled them. She is committed to the safe storage of firearms. She
will be working on this at the state level and request the board’s favorable
consideration for the Resolution – Protecting our Children from Preventable Gun
Violence.
MINUTES: December 17, 2019 – Regular Board Meeting
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS (Continued)
15. Donna Finkelstein, Board member of Women Against Gun Violence, said for the
past 30 years, she worked as a high school counselor for LAUSD. She is a mother
of two daughters. Her youngest daughter at age 16 survived being shot in a hate
crime. She is here to ask that we pass a resolution that would require all GUSD to
send safe gun storage information home to all students’ households. LAUSD
passed a resolution in June of this year to do just that and have already begun the
distribution process. School safety is of critical importance to most parents. Last
year, over 40,000 people were killed due to gun violence. Minors committed the
majority of school shootings, where there was knowledge where the gun was
stored. Eighty percent of the shooters used a gun obtained at home or from a
relative. Sending information home is a preventative measure to keep our children
safe.

Gharpetian, Krikorian, Nahabedian, Sahakian, and Freemon.
REPORTS FROM THE BOARD
Mr. Krikorian said CSBA decided to pull their Full and Fair Funding Initiative. It
was a highly debated issue. He thanked Dr. Foley and wished her the best. It is
bittersweet. He appreciated what she has done for the district. He showed several
photos of Grace Chase gift-giving event for handicapped people at Holy Redeemer
Church. He spoke about the joint Armenian Club and Spanish Club event at
Hoover High. The Armenian Genocide event will be April 20 at Glendale High.
The Youth Leadership Conference is tentatively scheduled for April 18-19. We do
recognized African American Month, but we need to do more. He wished everyone
a happy holiday.
Mr. Sahakian is pleased that we took action on the gun violence prevention. It is an
important step, and one of many. Safety is a large conversation. We have debates
throughout day, but when it comes to our kid, it stops. He extended his
condolences to the Ms. Goldsbury, who lost her daughter. The District grieves with
her. The holidays are a time to be with family. He wished everyone a happy
holiday, and he looks forward to an even better and stronger 2020.
Dr. Gharpetian attended the Adelante Latinos strategic planning meeting. She
enjoyed the Holiday Boutique and Tea at Hoover High sponsored by the Hoover
High PTA. It was a wonderful event. The GHS PTSA Potluck was also a great
success. At the CSBA conference, where 1,000 school districts participate, she was
a presentor with Dr. Ekchian and Dr. Magran talking about our Model SARB. The
Montrose Christmas parade was enjoyable. She thanked our students and parents
who came representing Black in Glendale addressing the Board on racism in our
schools. It is appropriate for us to move forward and acknowledge Black History
Month in February. She thanked Dr. Foley for her years of service and wished her
continued success. Implicit bias training will take place this year with our
administrators. She wished everyone a happy holiday and an enjoyable winter
break.
Ms. Nahabedian thanked Dr. Foley for her service. She enjoyed the Montrose
Parade and thanked the Hoover PTA and students for organizing the Hoover Tea
and Boutique. The Adelante Latinos meeting had five times more people attend.
Their mission is shifting, not only honoring high achieving middle and high school
students, but other issues to make things better. She thanked the Black in Glendale
for being at tonight’s Board meeting. She is truly sorry for those who have
experienced racism and being unjustly treated. We can make a difference in this
school district. She requested to have a resolution come to the Board for Black
History Month and the Black Lives Matter at School. She is proud that CSBA
MINUTES: December 17, 2019 – Regular Board Meeting
REPORTS FROM THE BOARD (Continued)
recognized our FLAG academy. She extended her condolences to Janet Goldsbury.
She wished everyone a happy holiday season.
Mrs. Freemon said the holidays are a wonderful time and a stressful time for some.
For her, it reminds her of the importance of our gun safety resolution and the
opportunity for Wellness Centers for our students. She truly hopes we can have
health wellness centers work for our students. A big part of safety is our students’
mental health. She wished everyone a happy holiday.
REPORT FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dr. Ekchian attended many of the same events our board members have mentioned.
As a community, we are 24/7 in putting our students front and center. She had the
pleasure of attending the Black In Glendale meeting. Discussions have been
meaningful and certainly offering implicit bias training, having a zero tolerance for
bigotry are the ways in which we hope to proceed in our District. We have many
pockets of success. However, our work is not done. At Cerritos Elementary,
through the generosity of Dignity Health, all six hundred students received gifts
from them. She thanked the Board for approving the resolution on gun safety. It
means a lot to everyone. She expressed her deepest condolences to Ms. Goldsbury,
teacher at Roosevelt, and her family. She wished everyone a wonderful holiday.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, President Freemon adjourned the meeting at 10:15
p.m. in memory of Janet Goldsbury’s daughter, Jennifer Goldsbury.

SUBJECT: Approval of Services Agreement with Community Justice for
Youth Institute for Restorative Practices Training for School
Site Teams
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of
Education approve a services agreement between Glendale
Unified School District and the Community Justice for
Youth Institute in the amount of $18,500 to provide
training to school site teams in restorative practices.
Restorative Justice/Practices (RJ) in schools is an alternative to typical punish and
suspension methods of discipline. It shifts to a focus on the relationship as central to
learning and healthy school climate for students and adults. The use of the restorative
community building circle protocol helps to develop social emotional learning and create
safe spaces to address difficult issues and trauma and promote healing.
The Community Justice for Youth Institute (CJYI) is one of two outside vendors GUSD
is working with for the 2019-20 school year to provide a variety of training opportunities
for staff interested in building restorative practices in their schools and classrooms. This
four-day training is designed for school site teams, including an administrator, a
parent/community member, and two or three other school staff members. These school
site teams will serve as the basis for building capacity at the school site to expand
restorative practices schoolwide. The experiential training will provide attendees with an
understanding of the circle process and its potential for building relationships within the
school community; promoting healthy communication; preventing and resolving
conflicts; developing social emotional learning and youth competencies; and creating safe
spaces to address difficult issues, trauma, and healing.
The training dates are January 27 – 30, 2020. Three school site teams of five participants
will be trained (College View School, Wilson Middle School, and Glendale High
School), in addition to the principal from Glenoaks Elementary and the assistant principal

through Teaching and Learning Department funding.

1. What is implicit bias?
2. What does implicit bias look like in the real world?

the challenges, lessons learned, and impact of each implemented
recommendation.
o Selecting 2-3 new recommendations that can be implemented in the short-
term.
o Identifying challenges and solutions to implementing the new 2-3

using a network of partnerships and vendors. Teachers are required to complete a
feedback package, including documenting the project with photographs, which in turn are
shared with the individual that funded the project.
The following projects were submitted and awarded by DonorsChoose:

This project was awarded various instructional materials (flip books, peg pictures,
puzzles, story cards etc.), valued at $593.00. The items will provide Ms. Hartooni’s
