believed in themselves and worked relentlessly towards their goal "
The team's impressive season saw them rack up 26 wins against just five losses, a record Contreras believes can be improved next season With 16 players returning and the entire pitching staff, the team has a robust foundation for another successful season Their overall run average of 2 21 and a defensive percentage of 945 kept them in every game they played
The community rallied around the team Mike Ashman, a Bloomington High School Alumni who played on the CIF team in 1975 and is now a coach for the Los Angeles Angels, offered his support before each game "The community must support because it keeps everyone together and provides opportunities for interaction," Contreras emphasized Andrew "TJ" Tejada, a senior and the team's star pitcher, re-
flected on the season's highs and lows "The most impactful memory was our game against Rim of the World at San Manuel Stadium for County Clash," he recalled "At one point, we were down 7-2, but we didn't let it get to us We battled to the end; the final score was 7-8 That's a testament to our spirit and resilience We're all looking forward to the next season and hope to go beyond the semi-finals and win it all "
The team's achievements were also reflected in the numerous awards they received With a 30-scoreless inning streak, Tejada was named league MVP and selected as All Inland Empire David Barajas, a senior first baseman, was chosen as the League MVP for the San Andreas League A junior and right fielder, Dylan Buzard made All League, All CIF, and was All Inland Empire
Seven team members made All-League, All-CIF, All-Inland Empire, and the California Baseball Coaches Association Southern California Second
Team Assistant Coach Alexander Estrada praised the team's cohesive spirit, "This team played for each other They all understood their roles, and everyone contributed It was their combined efforts that brought us this success "
Contreras received the Coach of the Year award in recognition of the team's achievements Looking forward to the next season, Contreras added, "Our 2023-2024 baseball season will start in August We'll start doing pre-tryout workouts, and the official tryouts will be held in September, which will coincide with the start of fall ball "
Historically, this victory holds significant importance for Bloomington High School, where sports have always been a focal point for student engagement This achievement refers to the glory days of the mid-'70s when the school's sports teams were dominant, instilling renewed pride and energy into the school and the wider Bloomington community

By Inland Empire Water Partnership
After a multi-year drought, record winter storms have brought California back from the brink of catastrophic drought conditions but uncertainty still remains – how long will this new water need to last us? Just until next winter? Two years? Three years?
Most of the state is now considered to be out of drought, as our reservoirs are full to the brim and we begin replenishing our groundwater basins This is exactly what we needed this winter season, and it will be essential in supporting our communities, farms, and businesses throughout the year However, we cannot count on record-setting wet years as the state's longterm water supply management plan, especially as the Colorado River supplies, which are essential to Western States and Southern California, remain uncertain
California will continue to experience longer, hotter, and drier weather conditions, punctuated by intense, fast-moving storms that overwhelm the state's existing water systems Boom or bust weather extremes – such as rainstorm flooding and long droughts – create unpredictable scenarios for the State's water systems that can no longer count on a steady pace of water replenishment throughout each winter For the last 40 years, average temperatures have steadily increased and will continue to do so, causing a multitude of issues for our water supply, including shorter bursts of intense rainfall, earlier snowpack melt, an increased need to take from groundwater reserves, and more
It will become all the more important in the coming years to couple individual water efficiency efforts with regional and statewide infrastructure investments to make the Inland Empire more resilient in the face of future droughts
Water efficiency is a way of life for Southern California throughout all weather and all seasons Our region has proven it can collectively work together and rise to the occasion to stretch supplies and ensure water for future generations We want to acknowledge and send our appreciation to our local water super-savers who
have worked diligently to help us meet our goals, preserve our water supply for current and future generations, and successfully get through the drought As local water providers, we are calling on residents to keep up the water efficiency efforts that are now a symbol of Southern California culture The Inland Empire took initiative during the drought and, while the urgency isn’t as dire today, we need to continue to embrace a water-efficient lifestyle year-round Implementing a water-efficient lifestyle when it rains helps prolong our water supply when it is dry Water use efficiency, especially outdoors where 60% of water use occurs, is crucial to extending water supplies captured during wet years
We also need to make investments to ensure our regional and statewide infrastructure are able to meet the future water supply needs of the region In an effort to capitalize on these intense weather conditions, Inland Empire water agencies are collaboratively investing in significant infrastructure projects and initiatives to capture precious water when it’s available and we are urging our state counterparts to do the same
We continually work to advance large-scale stormwater, recycling, and water quality programs to further our water supply goals For example, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) completed work on its Mountain Avenue West Groundwater Replenishment Facility, which will serve as the home for EMWD’s Water Banking program as part of its Groundwater Reliability Plus initiative
In addition, Western Water is advancing water supply reliability through a series of efforts, including preparing to purchase excess water available this year and storing it in its local groundwater basins for future dry years Western Water is also taking action through investments in innovative infrastructure projects, including groundwater wells, treatment and conveyance facilities
Similarly, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency is growing its recycled water supply with multiple projects and partnerships including the expansion of its Re-
gional Water Recycling Plant No 5 and the development of the innovative Chino Basin Program (CBP), a water banking program that will address challenges caused by climate change As a part of this effort to increase local supply reliability, through the CBP, IEUA and its partners will design, construct, and operate an Advanced Water Purification Facility, groundwater injection facilities, pump stations, new wells, and connection lines
The Inland Empire Water Partnership is united in our commitment to maintain and build reliable, high-quality water supplies that are more resilient against an uncertain water future
Our partnership has come together as the regional voice of the Inland Empire to raise awareness about the conditions impacting your water supply, advance solutions, deliver high-quality, clean and safe water supplies, and promote water efficiency as a way of life
As we continue highlighting the need for water solutions, advance statewide infrastructure improvements and water quality programs, we rely on and thank our customers for embracing efficiency to ensure a collective approach is taken to resolve these larger-than-life issues
Joe Mouawad, General Manager of Eastern Municipal Water District; Shivaji Deshmukh, General Manager of Inland Empire Utilities Agency; Heather Dyer, General Manager of San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District; and Craig Miller, General Manager of Western Water, unite as the regional voice of water issues in the Inland Empire through their partnership, The Inland Empire Water Partnership
The Inland Empire Water Partnership consists of four unified water districts – Eastern Municipal Water District, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and Western Water –representing the water resources of 3 4 million Southern Californians To learn more about the partnership and its efforts, visit: iewaterpartners com

In a May 25th ruling, the 4th District Court of Appeal (4DCA) ruled San Bernardino County Measure K valid in every major aspect
Measure K, an effort to reform both compensation and term limits for San Bernardino County elected supervisors, was overwhelmingly approved by county voters in November of 2020 The measure proposed a single fouryear term, along with setting elected supervisors’ compensation on par with the county’s median household income
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors ignored this clear message from voters Rather than aggressively implementing the voters’ will, the board circled the wagons and sued the county’s Clerk of the Board in order to halt implementation of Measure K and ward off the voters’ intent
While San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Ronald Alvarez agreed with the Board of Supervisors, the 4DCA was having none of it Justice P J Ramirez’s opinion:
• Upheld the voters’ right to establish a single, four-year term
• Upheld the voters’ right to establish compensation limits for elected supervisors via initiative
• Ruled Measure K was valid as of December 18th, 2020
• Orders the
lower court to ensure certification and filing of Measure K
The appeal court also ruled that AB 428, a bill designed and sponsored by Assemblyman Chad Mayes to torpedo Measure K via state law, does not apply to charter counties AB428 altered state law to ensure voters could set no less than two, four-year term limits for county supervisors Despite being approved by Governor Gavin Newsom, Justice Ramirez’s ruling limits AB428 to general counties only San Bernardino County is a charter county and is therefore exempt from AB428
In a statement released Monday The Red Brennan Group, a local non-profit dedicated to “Big-Hearted Communities and Small Government” said “It has been our privilege to support Measure K’s sponsor Nadia Renner While this ruling solidifies San Bernardino County voters’ right to initiative, the status of real political reform in the county remains clouded because of Measure D This measure was placed on the 2022 ballot by the five sitting supervisors and was specifically designed to target Measure K Every aspect of the county supervisors’ initiative was designed to trick county voters Presented to voters as tax reform,
Measure D instead guaranteed continually increasing compensation for county supervisors, reset the baseline for the current supervisors allowing them to serve an additional 12 years if reelected, and overturned the voterapproved Measure K The supervisors partnered with
local developers, public unions, and a variety of other special interest groups to spend over $1 2 million to pass Measure D Despite being labeled as “The most despicable, deceptive campaign we’ve seen in a long time,” by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the immense amount of money invested by the county political elite successfully carried the deception and Measure D was approved by the voters ”
The Red Brennan Group spokesmen went on to say “Our organization has challenged Measure D on the basis that it was intended to mislead county voters While the trial court ruled against us, we trust the Appeal Court will be as equally clear-eyed when considering Measure D as they were with Measure K The California Constitution states
‘All political power is inherent in the people Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require ’
For far too long the county ruling class has misused and abused both the legal and political process to stymie real reform of government County voters must hold local government accountable and ensure the political class acquiesces to voter-approved reform ”

SBCUSD, Elected Of ficials and Employer s Celebrate Two Gold-Cer tified Linked Lear ning Pathways at San Andr eas High
Community News
San Andreas High School is excited to announce that it has been awarded prestigious Gold Certification by the Linked Learning Alliance, making it the first continuation high school in the nation to receive this national distinction
The Linked Learning Alliance, an organization that accelerates the adoption of high-quality educational pathways that engage adolescents, strengthen workforce readiness, and advance equity, recognized San Andreas High for its commitment to preparing students for both college and career success through its two innovative Linked Learning pathways
The Linked Learning Alliance, the SBCUSD Board of Education, and San Andreas High School will celebrate this groundbreaking recognition on Tuesday, June 20 at 5:30 p m at the Dr Margaret Hill Community Room, 777 North F Street in San Bernardino
Linked Learning integrates rigorous academics with real-world learning and strong support services to prepare students for success in college, career, and life Linked Learning pathways are designed to train high school students in fields that pay well and don’t necessarily require a college degree
San Andreas High School's Linked Learning pathways provide students with immersive, career-themed educational experiences that align with their interests and aspirations By connecting rigorous academic coursework with work-based learning and early college opportunities, San Andreas High School ensures that students are well-prepared for the full range of postsecondary options
The two Gold Certified pathways that prepare San Andreas High School students for postsecondary opportunities in the business and medical field are now national models of excellence Certification is based on a series of standards identified by leaders in the Linked Learning field as crucial for improving student outcomes and preparing all students for college and career
Gold Certification validates the quality of the college and career pathway and signifies high-quality implementation of core components and equitable opportunities for all students In total, San Bernardino City Unified has 7 Gold Linked Learning pathways and 15 Silver Linked Learning Pathways
Quality is key to Linked Learning experiences that prepare students to succeed in college and career Independent evaluation shows that students in certified Linked
Learning pathways have decreased dropout rates, higher graduation rates, more credits earned, more college preparatory courses completed, and improved workforce skills compared with similar peers in traditional high schools
“SBCUSD’s trailblazing Linked Learning efforts and continued commitment to high-quality practice have generated insights, inspiration, and, importantly, evidence on what really works for students,” said Anne Stanton, president, and CEO of the Linked Learning Alliance “We are proud to honor the potential and ambition of San Andreas students’ and celebrate the community’s progress toward a future where every young person is connected to purpose and prepared for the future they deserve ”
This seal of excellence comes six years after San Andreas High set out to establish its college and career pathways Linked Learning Program Specialist Roberta Figueroa, who has been at the forefront of establishing the school’s pathways, said San Andreas had to overcome hurdles that other mainstream high schools don’t have “This is a dream come true for us,” Figueroa said “When we first started this six years ago, a lot of people said it couldn’t be done ”
As part of the Business and Technology Pathway, students learn to grow produce hydroponically, which is then sold to local restaurants Students in the business academy will leave San Andreas with valuable credentials like a food handlers permit or forklift certification
Students who enroll in the Health Sciences Pathway train alongside staff from AMR, giving them hands-on exposure to careers in health care and earning credentials like American Heart Association Basic Life Support, first aid, and OSHA
“We are incredibly proud to be the first continuation high school to achieve Gold Certification from the Linked Learning Alliance," said Principal Dorie Stratton “This recognition validates the hard work and commitment of our educators, students, and community partners who have all contributed to the success of our Linked Learning pathways We believe in the potential of every student, and through our robust career-themed programs, we are preparing them for a bright future beyond high school ”
The Gold Certification is a significant milestone for San Andreas High School and serves as an inspiration for other continuation high schools across the region and state By demonstrating that even in non-traditional educational settings, students can receive a comprehensive education that prepares them for both college and ca-
reers, San Andreas High School is leading the way in redefining what is possible for young people
The Linked Learning Alliance is a statewide coalition of educators, employers, and community organizations that are committed to improving education outcomes for all students
Their Gold Certification is a rigorous process that evaluates and recognizes Linked Learning pathways for meeting the highest standards of excellence in four key areas: preparing students for college and careers, integrating academics with real-world experiences, fostering relationships with industry partners, and providing comprehensive support systems
The Linked Learning approach, piloted in nine California districts a decade ago, is now embraced as the high school strategy for a growing number of districts across the state
Currently, California lawmakers are considering $500 million in funding for college and career pathways critical investments in youth during their decade of difference, a period from ages 14 to 24, when research shows young people develop their identities, dispositions, and lifelong aspirations
These planned investments offer the opportunity to scale Linked Learning pathways like those offered at San Andreas, to even more underserved students throughout the state
San Andreas High School's Gold Certification from the Linked Learning Alliance not only highlights the exceptional achievements of the school but also underscores its commitment to transforming lives and providing equitable opportunities for all students
Through its innovative Linked Learning pathways, San Andreas High School is nurturing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and professionals who will shape our community and society
San Andreas High School is a leading continuation high school located in Highland, California Committed to providing high-quality education for students who have faced various challenges in traditional educational settings, San Andreas High School offers a supportive learning environment that empowers students to succeed academically and personally With its innovative Linked Learning pathways, the school prepares students for both college and careers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary for future success
