SUBJECT: Naming of the Wilcox High School Main Gym
ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY:
In recognition of the outstanding commitment and work of Creighton A. Lane, former Wilcox High School lead security guard and head basketball coach, a community and school-based committee is requesting permission to name the Wilcox High School Main Gym the "Creighton A. Lane Memorial Gym." Creighton worked at Wilcox for 25 years before passing away in February of 2014. He was a consummate professional, mentor, and cornerstone of the Wilcox community where he was instrumental in instilling "Charger Pride" and school spirit. Awarded the Classified Employee of the Year award in 2001, Creighton was well respected by staff, students and parents alike. With the goal of developing great human beings and productive young adults, Creighton also served his greater community in many ways, including coaching basketball teams throughout the Bay Area. Following requests from members of the public to rename the gym at their March 13, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the creation of an Ad Hoc Committee to submit a recommendation for the re-naming of the Wilcox Main Gym. The Ad Hoc Committee membership was approved by the Board of Trustees on March 27, 2014. Over the past year, the Committee has been in touch with community members from their respective groups regarding naming the main gym in Creighton's honor and have been met with hundreds of affirmations of support. All provisions of Board Policy 7310 - Naming of Facility have been met. As outlined in Board Policy 7310 – Naming of Facility, the Ad Hoc Committee is composed of District staff (including site administrator and teachers); community representatives; and parent/guardians and students.

ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY: The Measure H-2014 General Obligation Bond was approved by District voters on November 4, 2014. On December 11, 2014 the Board of Trustees certified the election results of voter approval of Measure H-2014, permitting the issuance of $419,000,000 in General Obligation Bonds for the purposes stated in the ballot. Since Measure H-2014 was placed before the voters under California state law, AB 1908 and Proposition 39, the Board established an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee within sixty days of entering the certification of election results in its meeting minutes. The committee’s purpose is to report to the public regarding the conformance of Bond expenditures with the purposes stated in ballot measure approved by the voters. The Committee bylaws were approved by the Board on March 5, 2015. Also on March 5, 2015, the bylaws for the Citizen’s’ Independent Oversight Committees for the Measure J and Measure H-2010 Bonds were revised to align all three Committees. Members were appointed for all three Committees. However, not all positions were filled. Notices requesting applications to serve on the Committees were published in the Santa Clara Weekly, the Sunnyvale Sun, the San Jose Mercury News and the notice was posted on the District’s website in English and Spanish. Applications were not received for all available positions. The committees must consist of at least seven members consisting of at least one member active in a business organization representing the business and financial community located within the district, one member actively involved in a senior citizens’ organization, one member active in a local taxpayers’ organization, one parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the district, one parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the district and active in a parent-teacher organization and at least two members representing the community at large. Staff conducted a more extensive outreach and obtained more applications. Staff has interviewed the applicants and recommends the following individuals for appointment to the committees. Michelle Villagomez: Ms. Villagomez is a parent residing in Alviso. She serves on the George Mayne School PTA. She is a teacher in the Orchard School District. She is recommended for appointment to the Measure J-2004, Measure H-2010 and Measure H-2014 committees as a parent who is also active in a parent-teacher organization. Charitha Perera: Mr. Perera is a parent residing in Sunnyvale. He belongs to the Peterson Middle School PTA. He is a business manager at Applied Materials, Inc. He is recommended for appointment to the Measure J-2004, Measure H-2010 and Measure H-2014 committees as the representative for the business and financial community. Mr. Brett McLarney: Mr McLarney is a Santa Clara resident and parent who belongs to the Buchser Middle School PTA. He is owner of McLarney Construction (his firm does not contract with the District). He is recommended to serve on the Measure H-2014 committee as a parent representative. Mary Ng Dooley: Ms. Dooley is a parent residing in the Rivermark area. She works at Cisco Systems. She has previously served on the Measure J and Measure H-2010 Committees. She is recommended for reappointment to a second two-year term on those committees as a parent representative. Vladimir Raykin: Mr. Raykin resides in San Jose. He belongs to the River Oaks Neighborhood Association. He works at Coherent, Inc. He currently serves on the Measure H-2010 and Measure H-2014 Committees representing the community at-large. He is recommended to fill the same position on the Measure J-2004 Committee. Richard Bicknell: Mr. Bicknell is a Santa Clara resident. He currently serves on the Measure H-2010 Committee representing the community at-large. He is recommended to fill the position on the Measure H-2014 Committee representing a taxpayer organization. Approving these recommendations fills every position on the three Bond Oversight Committees. Previously, on March 5, 2015, the Board appointed Tim Towers to the Measure H-2010 and Measure H-2014 Committees, as a tax payer organization representative, and Jim Van Pernis to all three Committees, as a senior citizen representative. Noel Matyas remains a member of the Measure J-2004 and Measure H-2014 Committees
