Wiseburn from front page
for a reason,” she said, but lamented the
childcare dilemma. Communication issues
were mentioned by the three people who
addressed the Board on Thursday evening.
Johnstone, acknowledging the challenges
faced by working parents, noted that care
programs are “an area of tremendous need”
in the District. The Superintendent reported
that he is trying to ramp up staffing to provide
necessary childcare services, and that
the District is doing everything necessary to
take care of this issue. “It is a huge issue
of need--we know that we need to increase
capacity,” Johnstone said. “What we have done
is, even before school started, we contacted
El Camino College” to hopefully fill the
seven District personnel vacancies. He noted
that the District is “in the process” of filling
the positions, with fingerprinting and other
necessities before hiring being addressed.
Johnstone estimated that the District’s goal
was to have the new hires in place, and the
childcare situation resolved, no later than
January. He added that he feels the pain
of working parents who need childcare. “I
don’t like it when our families have to go
somewhere else for kindergarten,” he said.
The residents who spoke brought up myriad
issues for working parents, and Board President
Israel Mora said, “We are now going
to put a lot of energy into seeing how we
can grow, hiring the right staff--which we
are actively trying to do.”
Issues brought up by the three residents
who spoke included the wait lists in place
now in the District. Johnstone commented
that the current enrollment at Anza for the
preschool children is “30 kids, but there is
a wait list of 183.” He pointed out that at
Cabrillo, there are 60 kids in the program
with no wait list. Johnstone explained that
the reason there is no wait list currently at
Cabrillo is because that campus does not
provide an after-school program. District
facilities and land space, which are limited,
provide a challenge to expand the program.
Johnstone was aware of the residents’
issues and emailed, “We are discussing
options to expand the programs at all three
elementary schools. The short-term challenge
is staffing and the longer-term challenge is
facilities. We hate to lose a single student/
family because of childcare needs, so this
is definitely something that we want to deal
with and very soon!”
On the continuing construction at the
Douglas Street property, Vince Madsen, the
District’s Director of Facilities Planning,
emailed that “basically we will be moving
administrators into the building this coming
week with the major school moves starting
Friday, November 3 running through the
weekend and the students’ first day of school
will be November 8. We walked with the fire
marshal and our commissioning agents and
state inspectors and have reached a substantial
completion milestone with ongoing punch-list
items that we will be scheduled off hours
around the students’ school schedule.”
Continued Madsen, “Phase 2 is moving
along, which is the gym and the aquatic
center which is a joint-use venture with the
City of El Segundo. It will be nice to have
the high school building behind us as we
focus on just finishing up Phase 2, which
should be complete by the end of June.”
Madsen mentioned that he would have no
problem relinquishing the challenges that he
has shouldered at the Douglas Street facility
as the construction winds down for Phase 1 of
the mega-project. “I am just excited to give up
the keys to the building,” he said Johnstone,
who will retire at the end of June, issued a
somewhat tongue-in-cheek ultimatum to all
involved in the construction project--that
Phase 2 of the project better be completed
by the end of his tenure, “or else.”
The Board was slated to hold a special
meeting last Saturday to figure out facility
needs in the future. Johnstone said one of
his wishes was for a construction bridge
over Aviation Boulevard. “So, our kids don’t
have to walk. That is an accident waiting to
happen,” he commented.
With no special presentations on the
agenda, the Board then moved on to informational
comments. Kudos were given to
Board President Israel Mora, who has, shall
we say, prodded all the people involved with
the Douglas Street construction to get the
job done and get the administrators, teachers
and students moved in at the gleaming new
facility. “Thank you for everyone putting
up with me,” Mora said. “It has huge push
to get the high school finished. The school
looks beautiful, and it’s very exciting. The
opening is around the corner.”
The only Wiseburn Board meeting slated
for November is on the docket for Thursday
evening, the 16th. •
