Staff Report
Reedley High School’s sports medicine team fin- ished in sixth place in the Jaybird Division and 10th place overall at the Ameri- can Academic Competition Institute’s (AACI) National Sports Medicine Competition last month.
In addition, senior Jenelle Jaramillo earned All-Ameri- can status with a top 25 finish in the division.
Reedley High scored 63.875 points — just three- tenths of a point from fifth
BUDGET Continued from page A1
Also, police sergeants will receive a 2.5 per- cent pay increase.
• All employees under the general services unit will receive a non-pensionable cash pay- ment stipend equivalent to 2 percent of salary, which won’t affect the unit’s salary table.
Unrepresented employees and salary will receive an additional four hours of time off, as the existing half-day for Christmas Eve has been changed to a full day off.
“We actually did a customer traffic count for Christmas Eve through New Year’s,” Melikian said. “We were curious, because it’s pretty dead on some of those days. And Christmas Eve, by far, is the least foot traffic and least phone traffic day of all of the days.
“We feel this change would be a meaning- ful benefit to the unrepresented staff in light of a second year of no cost-of-living increase, with minimal impact to the public in the ser- vices that we provide.”
Those employees also will receive an an- nual cash payment equal to 2 percent of salary
demic competitions. Another future vision is the possibility of recruiting international ath- letes, and Buckley pointed to his experience working with athletic directors in interna- tional outreach to other coun- tries.
Buckley said he wants Reedley College to be the primary destination for high school graduates looking to start at the community col- lege level.
“We do not want to be the second option or sec-

Bob Beck, council member, asked how much money was lost during the construction period with the solar panels disabled. The city could not provided an exact number, but Zieba told Beck she was told that as long as the con- struction was completed before the end of the year there would not be a significant cost.
Scott (50th). The remaining RHS competitors were Jorge Meza (62nd place), Clara Mc- Gahan (66th), Alexa Gonzalez (67th), Emely Torres (88th), Xiadani Guzman (94th), Ivy Duong (127th) and Abby Del- port (133rd).
Reedley had another suc- cessful season, finishing in sixth place at the AACI Cali- fornia Regional competition in Northridge on March 23 to qualify for the nationals. The team also was victorious at the annual Tiger RoMP com- petition at Reedley College that same month.

Paul Melikian, assistant city manager, answered followup questions from the City Council about the 2019-2020 budget at the June 11 meeting
in lieu of a cost-of-living raise. This helps the city as it doesn’t need to increase its payouts to the CalPERS state retirement plan.
Other budget items approved included ex- panding repayment of the Reedley Airport loan by eight years to lower annual payments by half and free up money to use for state and federal grants. A new city attorney agreement also pro- vides budget relief for the 2019-20 fiscal year.
place in the Jaybird Division — during an online competi- tion that occurred May 16-17 and May 20-21. The competi- tion attracted more than 3,000 students representing more than 300 schools from Cali- fornia, Texas, Virginia, Florida and Washington.
Jaramillo was able to fin- ishinatiefor25thoutofthe 249 students in the division to earn All-American status. The team had five other Top 50 finishers in Annabel Marsh (35th), Itsuri Delgado (42nd), Hayden Ankrum (43rd), Me- lissa Sanchez (49th) and Julie

the same [population] here, but I know that with this new building and with the quality of this program we’re going to be attracting a lot more students to this location.”
Access and affordability for college are two of Buck- ley’s primary goals for Reed- ley College.
“When I spoke to the as- sociated student government reps here, the thing that resonated with me was, in- deed, the barrier to complet- ing their educational goals is cost,” he said. ‘The expense. At the top of that list is text- books. That’s certainly on my list as a very high priority.”
Then there are providing online options and other meth- ods to obtain “distance educa- tion,” which Buckley said is critical in a rural setting.
“I come from a system from where I had a faculty member who was very good at utilizing hybrid approach- es to courses where she had face-to-face students and stu- dents at a distance,” he said. “They could even be using their smartphone to log into the class and take courses. So I’d like to see some of that technology here to help enhance the experience.”
That could include work- ing with an instructor face- to-face part of the time and also over some distance link

“Every college and every community is different.” he said. “So how do we find that sweet spot with technology and traditional faculty teach- ing, which is what makes Reedley so successful. Obvi- ously, the people here do good work. How do we extend that to that more rural popula- tion that have trouble getting here?” Buckley praised the area’s rural transportation system that has helped ad- dress the issue.
Buckley also said he wants to serve the broadest cross- section of the community as possible
“When people think of a college, they think primar- ily of our credit programs that lead to degrees and certificates,” he said. “We also have non-credit, and non-credit are free courses that can lead to a different kind of certification; a more skilled certification. And we also have fee-based training. So I like to have these three different categories work to- gether.

“That’s my vision, is how do we bring those three differ- ent facets of education togeth- er to better serve the commu- nity...Where I see growth po- tential is maybe serving more adult students to keep them current in their field, and to enhance their career potential by giving them additional skill certifications to advance their careers. That’s what’s new and different.”
Buckley praised the school’s academic and athlet- ic programs. He pointed out the Future Business Leaders of America and various aca-
