Fideicomisarios aprueban nuevos cursos, plan de estudios

Los cursos nuevos fueron aprobados por la Junta Directiva del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Winters (Winters Joint Unified School District – Winters JUSD) durante su reunión del pasado 22 de Junio. Estos incluyen una nueva vía culinaria profesional, Macroeconomía AP y la renovación de los currículos de Ciencias desde kínder a quinto grado y de Español desde sexto a duodécimo grado.

Aunque se aprobaron en la reunión del 22 de Junio, las adiciones al curso se pre- sentaron por primera vez ante los fideicomisarios como un elemento de información durante su reunión del 8 de Junio. La Asistente al Superintendente Phoebe Girimonte presentó los cambios propuestos a los fideicomisarios.

“Este año,” dijo, “nuestro equipo de Winters High School propone dos nuevos cursos. El primero es “AP Macroeconomics” (Macroeconomía AP) que “echaría un vistazo a la escala amplia de la economía, centrándose en las economías de los países y del mundo entero.”

“El próximo curso que se propone,” dijo Girimonte, “es el “Culinary III” (Arte Culinario III), y el título es “HERO” (como en HÉROE), que significa Emprendimiento en Hospitalidad y Operaciones de Restaurantes (Hospitality Entrepreneurship, and Restaurant Oper- ations - HERO), este es un curso de educación técnica profesional que representaría una piedra angular en nuestro actual camino culinario” de los cuales actualmente solo hay dos. “Este curso se basaría en estudiantes que son trabajadores motivados que desean mejorar sus propias habilidades de empleabilidad a través del aprendizaje basado en proyectos,” dijo Girimonte. La fideicomisaria Kristin Trott le preguntó a Girimonte si el curso de Arte Culinario III podría incluir trabajar en negocios locales, a lo que Girimonte respondió que era una motivación principal para el curso. Girimonte también les dijo a los fideicomisarios que el número de estudiantes que planean tomar “AP Macroeconomics” es de 15 y de siete a 10 estudiantes para “Cu- linary III.”

El pasado 22 de Junio, Girimonte le recordó al público que el material de estos dos cursos “permaneció disponible para su revisión hasta el 8 de Julio; en el caso de que se exprese alguna inquietud sobre esos materiales entre ahora y el final del período de visualización pública, traeríamos este tema nuevamente para que la junta lo considere en nuestra reunión de Julio.” La junta aprobó los cursos y aprobará los materiales en Julio.

Después de esto, Girimonte continuó con el reemplazo propuesto del plan de estudios de Español actual del distrito para los grados sexto al 12 y el plan de estudios de Ciencias aprobado por el estado para los grados Kinder hasta quinto. Estos son solo elementos de información, lo que significa que el personal de Winters JUSD recomienda que se adopte el material, pero no se votará hasta otra reunión de la junta después de los períodos de visualización pública. Con respecto al plan de estudios de Español, Girimonte dijo que “el año pasado, nuestros maestros de idiomas del mundo destacaron tres planes de estudio diferentes… reconociendo que nuestras licencias de VHL (Vista Higher Learning) iban a caducar.”

“En última instancia, sintieron que el plan de estudios más atractivo era “Senderos,” que no es nuestra adopción actual; sin embargo, la adopción del plan de estudios de Senderos tiene un costo muy similar al costo de “Descubre,” el plan de estudios de la VHL actualmente en uso, “y estamos en el ciclo en el que necesitamos renovar esas licencias,” dijo Girimonte.

Por lo tanto, Girimonte recomendó

Kristin Sicke, the YSGA executive officer, talked to the board about the groundwater conditions and highlighted localized areas around Yolo County referred to as “areas of special concern” due to the dire conditions of the groundwater there.

“We do recognize there are some localized issues,” Sicke said. “So, in developing the groundwater sustainability plan, we divided the subbasin into six unique management areas because we want to recognize the unique, hydro-geologic conditions that exist.

“We’re tracking groundwater conditions in these six areas, but within those, we’ve started to find that there is a trend in declining groundwater levels in smaller units. So, this issue of scale is something the YSGA is currently grappling with be-

Continued from Page 1 responders” as well as to “establish a coordinated and systematic approach to emergency management, helping schools minimize confusion, make informed decisions, and effectively respond to these emergencies.”

The development of the EOP is being coordinated by the EOP Committee, a group that consists of qualified and relevant staff members who help make decisions related to emergencies “including those with expertise in areas such as emergency management, education, security, public cause as reporting to the state, we feel like we’re OK, but we do need to manage things locally to ensure that projects and management actions are completed to ensure those localized hot spots are taken care of.”

According to Sicke, the areas of special concern were added toward the end of the creation of the groundwater sustainability plan and there aren’t yet definitive borders to highlight these areas. She also cited data gaps surrounding the subsurface conditions in these areas of special concern, adding that more analysis needs to be done so that the YSGA can better assess whether or not new wells should be drilled in these areas.

Sicke also said the YSGA is working with their legal counsel to ensure they’re adhering to the legal rights of those who wish to drill new wells.

The public comment section was filled with locals from these spe- health, and law enforcement,” Pinedo said. The committee assesses the school district’s vulnerabilities, develops response protocols, and establishes communication plans.

Once the committee has drafted their proposed EOP, Pinedo said they will bring it back for the trustees’ input before submitting a final version to the board for approval.

Trustee Joedy Michael asked about the specifics of the timeline, to which Pinedo answered that the committee will have a draft for the trustees in October and that the committee will be working every two cial areas of concern urging the board to uphold sustainability in the YSGA’s sustainable groundwater management plan.

Farmers and rural residents who’ve lived in these areas of special concern for generations stepped up to the podium to give the same anecdotal evidence and real-time effects of what the decline in groundwater levels is having on their lives.

One such local who lives in the northwestern area of Winters is Grant Davis, a retired civil and agricultural engineer who spent his career in agricultural water management.

“In the first 13 years of living in northwest Winters, water levels dropped at about 1 foot per year. Since 2013, water levels have dropped about four times as much per year,” Davis said. “The acceleration of these declines coincides with changing land use north of the city of Winters and north of weeks and coordinating parts of its plans with everyone who needs to work on it so it can be ready then.

Superintendent Rody Boonchuoy, who sits on the committee, told the trustees, “We’re sitting around the table with all of these interest groups and experts, including fire and (police departments) and having

Golden Bear. A large block of previously grazing land and dry land was developed into about 1,400 acres; in addition, about 800 acres of previously annual crop ground was converted into permanent crops.”

On the data-gap issue, Davis pressed for urgency. “My concern is that data gaps translate to time and we don’t have time,” he said. Action has to be taken. It’s a simple problem, we’re taking more water out of the ground than is going into the ground, and we need to take action to rebalance the system so that we’re not over-drafting groundwater.” conversations about worst-case scenarios” to determine “what do we need to have in place so that we’re proactive to ensure the safety of our kids.”

Supervisors deliberated, showing collective concern regarding the groundwater issues in these designated areas and consideration of a potential pause in drilling permits while also adhering to the legal rights of those who yearn to drill more wells and who have permits pending.

“At the end of the day,” Boonchuoy concluded, “you’ll be able to sleep better at night because our No. 1 priority of keeping our students safe will be addressed.”

In December 1985, Winters High School had five girls selected to play on the Butte View Athletic League basketball all-star team.

Mary, a much-admired lifelong resident of Winters, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on July 6, 2023, due to complications from leukemia.

Mary devoted her entire life to her family. She served as the No. 1 cheerleader for her children, grandchildren and great-grandkids’ sporting events, from pee wee to the collegiate level.

Her home was a gathering place for family and friends; a place to enjoy home-cooked meals, play “Ronda,” and watching westerns and her beloved Giants. She will be sorely missed.

Mary was predeceased by her husband, José, and daughter Diana, parents Juan and Lucia Martinez, brothers Baldomero Ramos and John Martinez, nephews Bobby (Debbie) Martinez and Steve Martinez. She is survived by her loving children, Joe (Su-
