[RECOGNITION OF OUTGOING BOARD PRESIDENT]

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR HER CONTINUED SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO PEE, WHILE USD. TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION. WE HAVE A COMMEMORATIVE PAPERWEIGHT WITH THE P Y EL USD LOGO TO PRESENT TO HER THIS EVENING. BEFORE WE PRESENT HER WITH THIS TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE ABOUT A RECENT AWARD MRS FREEMAN RECEIVED AS WE SHARED BACK IN SEPTEMBER EACH YEAR. THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION KNOWN AS C S P. A.

PRESENTS THE GOLDEN GAVEL AWARD TO ONE DESERVING SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IN CALIFORNIA. OUT OF MORE THAN 5000 TRUSTEES ACROSS THE STATE. MRS. FREEMAN WAS SELECTED AS THIS YEAR'S GOLDEN GAVEL AWARD RECIPIENT. ACCORDING TO CSP. A. THE GOLDEN GAVEL AWARD IS PRESENTED TO A BOARD MEMBER WHO EXEMPLIFIES BEST PRACTICES AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE AND BOARDMAN SHIP AND REFLECTS THE DEPTH AND BREATH OF GOVERNANCE DECISIONS SUPPORTING PROGRAMS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO ADDRESS STUDENTS CHANGING NEEDS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH, CSP OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED MRS FREEMAN IN FRONT OF HER COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS THE STATE BY PRESENTING HER WITH A COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE AND SHARING THE POWDER ACCOMPLISHMENTS AT THEIR ANNUAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE. MRS FREEMAN WAS SELECTED FOR THIS HONOR FOR MANY REASONS, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT SHE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN PUBLIC EDUCATION AT THE LOCAL, COUNTY AND STATE LEVELS FOR 35 YEARS.

BEYOND HER DUTIES AS A TRUSTEE, SHE HAS REPRESENTED P Y EL USD ON THE NORTH ORANGE COUNTY REGIONAL OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAM BOARD SINCE 1991 AND THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR MANY YEARS. IN 2000 AND TWO MRS FREEMAN WAS ELECTED TO CSP A DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND CONTINUES IN THAT ROLE. IN 2000 AND SEVEN SHE WAS ELECTED TO THE ORANGE COUNTY COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL DISTRICT ORGANIZATION. IT IS NO SECRET THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ITS BOARD MEMBERS. THIS INCLUDES AVAILABILITY TO COMMUNITY, THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF SCHOOL DISTRICT GOVERNANCE ISSUES IN PROGRAMS AND UNWAVERING SERVANT LEADERSHIP. SOME OF THE PROJECTS AND ISSUES MRS. FREEMAN HAS LED THE DISTRICT THROUGH INCLUDE BOUNDARY CHANGES BUDGET CUTS DURING THE GREAT RECESSION. LOCAL BOND REFERENDUMS, ATTRITION TRADITION FROM AT LARGE TO BUY TRUSTEE AREA VOTING STATE ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES.

AND THE OPENING OF SEVERAL MODERN SCHOOLS AND FACILITIES. MOST RECENTLY, MRS FREEMAN SUPPORTED THE DISTRICT EFFORT TO REOPEN SAFELY DURING THE PANDEMIC. MRS FREEMAN HAS ALWAYS WILLING TO TAKE A STAND WHILE MAINTAINING THE STEADFAST, STEADFAST FOCUS ON INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS AND WHAT IS BEST FOR STUDENTS. TRUSTEES ACROSS THE STATE LOOK TO MR FREEMAN AS SHE EXEMPLIFIES THE QUALITIES THAT MAKE IT DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER AND IT'S TRULY AN EXCELLENT REPRESENTATIVE. OF C SBS GOLDEN GAVEL AWARD. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, PRESIDENT HUMAN AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. PLEASE JOIN ME IN GIVING HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

[00:10:04]

[ORGANIZATION OF BOARD MEMBER POSITIONS]

BECAUSE OF THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE AGAIN WE ALLOW 30 MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, AND THIS IS OUR REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING THAT WE CONDUCT EACH MONTH AND SO IN THE INTEREST OF OUR TIME, WE WILL BE REDUCING THE TIME. BUT FIRST THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE TO COME FORWARD AT THIS MOMENT. EXCLUSIVE PRIOR TO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, THE FIRST WILL BE AND I'M GOING TO CALL THREE NAMES IN THE ORDER THAT YOU'LL COME FORWARD. THE FIRST WILL BE LINDA COHN. FOLLOWED BY MARK I BELIEVE IT'S FAIRLY THEORY. AND EMILY ROSELLE. AND THERE ARE CHAIRS RIGHT UP HERE FOR THE THREE SPEAKERS. YOU MUST BE MARKED WAITING FOR MRS COHEN. IS LINDA COHN HERE? OKAY IF YOU HAVE DAN SUBJECT ORGANIZATION OF BOARD MEMBERS. EXCUSE ME. YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER, PLEASE. YOU HAVE THE CARDS HAVE TO BE FILLED OUT IN ADVANCE. LET ME MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT I SHOULD HAVE. THAT'S MY MISTAKE AND NOT MAKING CERTAIN THAT THAT WAS CLEAR. FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE ARE CARDS THAT MUST BE FILLED OUT. PRIOR TO US GETTING TO PUBLIC COMMENT , AND WE NEED TO HAVE THESE FILLED OUT AND TURNED IN TO THE TWO INDIVIDUALS SEATED OVER HERE BY THE CLOCK AREA, BECAUSE WHEN WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE WILL BE NO MORE ACCEPTANCE OF CARDS AND WE DO NOT JUST TAKE HANDS FROM THE AUDIENCE. YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A CARD. THEN WE WILL GET TO THAT AT THE TIME OF PUBLIC COMMENTS. SO AT THIS, MISS MRS COHEN, ARE YOU SPEAKING NOW? OR DO YOU WANT TO RESERVE YOUR REMARKS FOR THE REGULAR PORTION OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY THAT WILL BE ON REGULAR. WELL THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION. I DIDN'T. I WASN'T ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT FROM WHAT I HAD HERE, SO. I DO HAVE MR FURY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? HELLO MY NAME IS MARK FURY. AS YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE, I SET ALL OF

[00:15:08]

TRADITION. I KNOW TRADITION IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN NORMALLY RECOGNIZED FOR REORGANIZING THE PRESIDENCY POSITIONS OF THIS SCHOOL BOARD. I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY BAD ALWAYS, BUT WE HAD THREE BOARD MEMBERS WHO BROKE TRADITION LAST YEAR. THEY RAN WITH FAMILY VALUES.

THEY KNOCKED ON DOORS AND MET WITH THEIR CONSTITUENTS, LETTING THEM KNOW THEY WOULD BE OUR VOICE. THESE THREE BOARD MEMBERS RESPOND TO EMAILS, CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS FROM THEIR CONSTITUENTS. TRADITION HAS BEES AND KEEP STEMMING YOUR APPROVAL ON WHAT THE UNION TELLS YOU TO DO. I'M ASKING YOU TONIGHT TO BREAK TRADITION. IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK TRUST. IT'S TIME TO FORM A BRIDGE BETWEEN PARENTS THE SCHOOL BOARD AND ALLOWS CIVILITY AND RESPECT TO FLOW FREELY BETWEEN THIS THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND THE SPORT. AS PARENTS. WE HAVE NEGLECTED OUR DUTY. BUT YOU KNOCKED ON OUR DOORS, LETTING US KNOW HOW TO COME BACK, BE INVOLVED AND TO TRUST YOU. WE ARE TRUSTING YOU TONIGHT TO DO RIGHT BY WHAT YOU RAN ON. WE'RE TRUSTING YOU TO LET US BE A PART OF OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY AS WE CONTINUE ONTO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL PART OF OUR MEETING. UM, EXCUSE ME. THIS EVENING IS WHEN WE SELECT OFFICERS AND HAVE AN ELECTION FOR THOSE OFFICERS FOR THE COMING YEAR. IT HAS BEEN THE TRADITION AND THE PRACTICE. AND AS I SAID, CONFERRING WITH ROBERT'S RULES, WHICH IS OUR GUIDELINE. IT IS IN THERE THAT IF YOU HAVE AN ESTABLISHED PRACTICE THAT IS WHAT YOU FOLLOW IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT, WHICH IS YOU HEARD IS A FEW YEARS NOW. AND OF COURSE, IT'S A MATTER OF RECORD THAT YOU CAN DETERMINE BY GOING BACK THROUGH ANY SET OF MINUTES FROM THE DECEMBER MEETINGS BECAUSE THAT IS ALWAYS. THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING. WE ALWAYS MOVE THE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE OFFICE THEY HAVE OR POSITION THEY'VE HELD TO THE NEXT POSITION WITH THAT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ELECT CARRIE BUCK AS PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR THE COMING YEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ELECT SEAN YOUNG BLOOD. I ALREADY HAVE ONE MOTION. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. BIG FULLY AWARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ON THAT ROLE. AND ALL SECOND THAT MOTION, OKAY? SO I DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. WE WILL TAKE THE FIRST MOTION DID YOU THAT SO WE'LL GO. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE YOU WERE JUST TALKING EARLY. YOU HAVE ANYBODY CHANCE TO MAKE A MOTION? SO YOU KIND OF HAD A WE'LL HAVE WE HAVE ONE MOTION SO WE CAN TAKE A VOTE ON THAT MOTION FAILS. THEN WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER MOTION. WE TAKE THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR. OKAY OKAY.

HAVE A DISCUSSION. YES, THAT'S FINE. ABSOLUTELY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE COMMON? DO YOU GUYS WANT TO COME? I'M READY TO I'M READY TO VOTE ON THE FIRST MOTION AND THEN MAKE A SECOND MOTION. WELL, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS COMMENTS? OKAY, WELL, THEN I GUESS I HAVE A COMMENT, OKAY? US WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND SO I PREPARED SOME REMARKS. AND, UM, I WANT EVERYONE. TO LISTEN TO THE FULL REMARKS TO LISTEN. ACTIVELY LISTEN FOR UNDERSTANDING. OKAY? SO. WE'RE GOING TO SITUATION THAT HAS BECOME COMMON. AND ALSO A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME AS I AM

[00:20:05]

IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE. TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR THE DISTRICT. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CONTACTING ME ABOUT THE ELECTION FOR BOARD PRESIDENT SINCE MAY OF LAST OF THIS YEAR. I'VE RECEIVED MULTIPLE EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, TEXT AND PRESSURE TO VOTE A CERTAIN WAY. AID ME IN MY DECISION MAKING. I HAVE TRIED TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION FROM A RATIONAL POINT OF VIEW. I FOUND IT HELPFUL TO REVIEW THE ACTUAL DUTIES OF OUR BOARD PRESIDENT. WHICH ARE LARGELY CEREMONIAL.

LET ME SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I FOUND. DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT TO PRESIDE OVER THE BOARD MEETINGS. TO SIGN OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, DISTRICT DOCUMENTS THAT REQUIRE THE PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE AFTER THE BOARD HAS APPROVED SUCH DOCUMENTS. TO SEND A RESPONSE. IT'S ALL EMAILS THAT ARE SENT TO THE BOARD. THIS IS BASICALLY A STANDARD EMAIL STATING THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT ARE HIS REPRESENTATIVES WILL RESPOND BACK. I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE RECEIVED SUCH AN EMAIL.

TO GIVE A FEW SPEECHES OVER THE YEAR REPRESENTING THE ENTIRE BOARD. MOST OF THESE THAT I'VE SEEN HAVE BEEN SPEECHES WELCOMING SOMEONE. I ALSO FOUND IT HELPFUL TO REVIEW WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT ABLE TO DO. THE BOARD PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO OVERTURN VOTES OF THE BOARD. DOES NOT HAVE MORE AUTHORITY ARE VOTING PRIVILEGES AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. ABILITY TO PLACE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA MORE THAN ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER. THE POWER TO USE THE OFFICE AS A POLITICAL PLATFORM FOR HIS OR HER OWN VIEWS. AND LASTLY, I DECIDED. THAT THE BOARD PRESIDENT DOESN'T EVEN GET A SPECIAL PARKING PLACE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE. AS I FOUND LAST MONTH WHEN I CAME A LITTLE LATE AND COULDN'T FIND PARKING MYSELF. UM THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL WORK. BUT NOT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PERKS OR SPECIAL POWERS. IT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL SERVICE WITH NO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT. TRADITIONALLY THE SPORT HAS ROTATED THE POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT BETWEEN ALL ITS TRUSTEES. A TRUSTEE SERVICES CLERK, THEN VICE PRESIDENT, THEN PRESIDENT AND THEN WROTE, ROTATES BACK TO TRUSTEE. SO WHAT ARE THE UPSIDES TO KEEPING WITH THIS TRADITION? EVERY TRUSTEE GETS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL WORK AND SERVICE. THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT REMAINS NON POLITICAL. NEW TRUSTEES HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE BYLAWS AND PROTOCOLS BEFORE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PRESIDING.

ALL TRUSTEES HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER THE WAY THEY WOULD LIKE TO LEAD WHEN IT IS THEIR TERM. SO WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR BREAKING THE CURRENT TRADITION? IT WOULD TURN THE POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT INTO A POLITICAL OR POPULARITY CONTEST. ALL TRUSTEES MIGHT NOT GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT. AND WE WON'T WANT THEM TO MISS OUT ON THE NEXT TO WORK. NEW TRUSTEES MIGHT NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM OTHER LEADERSHIP STYLES BEFORE TAKING OFFICE. I DECIDED TO RUN FOR SCHOOL BOARD BECAUSE I WANTED TO SERVE MY COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS WERE GETTING THE BEST EDUCATION. I DID NOT RUN TO GAIN POLITICAL POWER ARE TO PURSUE A SPECIFIC POLITICAL AGENDA. FOR REVIEW.

LET ME JUST STATE WHAT I RAN FOR LAST YEAR. AND WHAT MY PRIORITIES WERE ONE REOPEN OUR SCHOOL SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY. TO ENSURE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THREE UPLIFT THE VOICE OF EVERY STUDENT. FOUR PROMOTE TRANSPARENCY AND FIVE TO INCREASE PARENT INVOLVEMENT.

WHEN I MAKE A DECISION FOR THIS DISTRICT ON ANY ISSUE, I DO MY BEST TO RESEARCH AND COME UP WITH THE RIGHT CHOICE. I MADE HUNDREDS OF DECISIONS. SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THIS BOARD. I VOTED WITH AND AGAINST EACH OF MY FELLOW TRUSTEES. I HOPE THIS SHOWS THAT I LOOK AT EACH ISSUE INDEPENDENTLY. AND MAKE WHAT I SEE TO BE THE BEST DECISION. THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE DECISION THAT I AM. RECONSIDERING AFTER MORE INFORMATION HAS COME TO LIGHT, AND I'M CURRENTLY DOING RESEARCH SO THAT IF THAT ISSUE COMES TO VOTE AGAIN, I WILL BE MORE INFORMED. MANY OF YOU HAVE INDICATED TO ME THAT IF I DON'T VOTE YOUR WAY FOR PRESIDENT, IT MEANS I'M REALLY ALIGNED WITH A CERTAIN BOARD MEMBER. ALRIGHT DO NOT STAND WITH PARENTS OR I WILL RUIN MY CHOICES FOR CHANCES FOR RE ELECTION. AND MANY, MANY OTHER THINGS. I REALLY HAVE DISLIKED THIS CONTINUING

[00:25:01]

TOWARDS HAVING MISSED BUCKETS PRESIDENT. AND THANK YOU. OKAY THANK YOU, SO THAT WILL BE RECORDED AS MOTION PASSES AND THAT WAS ON A 41 VOTE. THE DISSENTING VOTE WAS MRS BLADES.

OKAY NOW. THE SECOND ITEM IS TO ELECT THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. AND I WOULD I'M SORRY.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S YOUR TURN . AND UNLESS IT'S OKAY IF IT'S OKAY, WE'LL JUST SIT IN THE CURRENT SPOT DOWN IN FIVE THAT YOU DO NEED IT. NEXT TIME WE CAN EVEN DO IT AT THE LITTLE BREAK HERE. WELL HELLO, EVERYBODY. UM AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT WITH US. AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO NEXT IS MOVE ON TO NUMBER TWO AND THE ELECTION OF VICE PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ELECT LEANDER BLADES AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION PERIOD DECEMBER 15TH 2021 THROUGH DECEMBER 13TH 2022. I'LL SECOND THAT. THANK YOU, MR YOUNG BLOOD.

ANY DISCUSSION. WE HAVE EMOTION BY MR YOUNG BLOOD IN A SECOND BY MRS PLATES. OKAY DISCUSSION.

OKAY, SO, UM, WE'LL CALL FOR A VOTE ON THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AND A POST. NO, NO, NO. A MOTION DOES NOT PASS ON THAT. I WILL MAKE ANOTHER MOTION THAT WE ELECT MARYLAND ANDERSON AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. OKAY. ALL SECOND THAT MOTION. HEY THIS IS FREEMAN MADE

[00:30:10]

ALTHOUGH IT'S ABOUT ME, DO I HAVE STAYING? YOU KNOW? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. HI. AND A POST I'M ABSTAINING. ONE ABSTENTION. OKAY SO MOTION CARRIES WITH MRS ANDEL ANDERSON , ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT FOR AH AND FOR I AND ONE ABSTAINED. OKAY SO NUMBER THREE. OKAY I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ELECT SEAN YOUNG BLOOD AS CLERK OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR THE PERIOD OF DECEMBER 15TH 2021 THROUGH DECEMBER 13 2022 2ND. SO I HAVE A QUESTION IF WE'RE ROTATING SEAT. THEN WOULDN'T THAT MAKE ME THE CLERK? OR ARE WE BREAKING THE TRADITION FROM THAT? BECAUSE IF WE'RE ROTATING SEATS, THEN I SHOULD BE A PUT UP FOR THE CLERK. ABSOLUTELY WE SHOULD IF WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO OUR TRADITION. I AGREE. THAT'S A POINT. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. IT'S A POINT. SO IF WE'RE GOING WITH TRADITION, THEN THE MOTION THAT MS ANDERSON MADE FOR ME, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THAT. WE CAN COME BACK ANOTHER MOTION. OKAY SO THAT MOTION WAS MADE BY MRS FREEMAN AND SECONDED BY MRS ANDERSON. SO ALL THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

WAIT A MINUTE. I HAD IT REVERSED WITH MRS ANDERSON. THIS IS ANDERSON. MR FREEMAN. SORRY ABOUT THAT. OKAY SO ON THAT MOTION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. NO SECOND SO THAT MOTION WILL DIE.

THERE WAS A SECOND BACK THEN. NO NO, BUT NO BUT NO APPROVAL. OKAY SO WE'LL REPEAT THAT. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ELECT LEANDER BLADES AS CLERK OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR THE PERIOD OF. DECEMBER 15 THROUGH DECEMBER 13TH 2022. A SECOND. WITH THE OUT SECOND. OKAY SO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR MRS BLADES TO BE THE CLERK OF THE BOARD BY MR YOUNGBLOOD AND SECONDED BY MRS BLADES.

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

[00:45:07]

WHO UP HERE IS SO OPPOSED TO OFFERING FAMILIES CHOICE THAT YOU ACTUALLY SENT AN ATTORNEY, A LITIGATOR TO SPEAK AGAINST A VALID OPTION FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT BEING WELL SERVED IN OUR OWN SCHOOLS. THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW EVERYONE LISTENING SHOULD BE ASKING THESE PEOPLE AT THE SAME QUESTIONS. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS GINA KOLB. HI MY NAME IS GINA COLBY AND I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF PLACENTIA FOR 30 YEARS AND RAISED THREE CHILDREN HERE. I THINK CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS A VERY CONFUSING SET OF IDEAS. I PERSONALLY AM OPEN MINDED AND DESIRE TO TREAT ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH EQUALITY AND RESPECT. THUS I SET OUT TO RESEARCH WHAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY REALLY IS. AT FIRST GLANCE, ONE MIGHT THINK THAT THE IDEOLOGY IS ONE OF EQUALITY, WHICH LEADS TO GOODWILL. HOWEVER AFTER A DIP DEEPER DIVE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IN SHORT, CRITICAL RACE THEORY. PROMOTES BIGOTRY, ANTAGONISM AND HATE AND UNDERMINES AND EXPLOITS AMERICA'S UNIQUE AND SEXY, SUCCESSFUL FUSION OF DIVERSITY. I IMPLORE THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IDEOLOGY THOROUGHLY. CRITICAL RACE THEORY WOULD IN FACT, PROMOTE BAD WILL , TO OUR CHILDREN, OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR COUNTRY. I BESEECH ALL OF YOU TO BAN CRITICAL RACE THEORY. OUR NEXT. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKERS ARE AMY S. GRADY.

YOU CREA SHAW AND JOCELYN. BROAD BREAD RUDOVSKY. OKAY. AMY S YOUR FIRST. FIRST I JUST LIKE TO QUICKLY ASK YOU TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE BAN ON CRT. OUR KIDS NEED TO LEARN HISTORICAL FACTS AND NOT A RACIAL NARRATIVE. UM SECOND, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU GUYS PASSED A RESOLUTION AGAINST VACCINE MANDATES AT OXFORD STUDY THAT WAS JUST PASSED PUBLISHED YESTERDAY. FOUND THAT TWO DOSES OF THE COVID INJECTION ACTUALLY GENERATE A LOWER ANTIBODY RESPONSE. THEN AGAINST THE OMICRON VARIANT. THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU WANT FROM YOUR VIRUS INJECTION. AH, YEAH.

HOODOOS ALSO. SAID THE STUDY SUGGESTED THAT THE VARIANT COULD LEAD TO MORE INFECTIONS AMONG THE FULLY VACCINATED. MORE MORE INFECTIONS. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED THAT IS NOT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. THE STUDY DOCUMENTS THAT A SUBSTANTIAL FALL IN NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES IN FOLKS WHO GOT TWO DOSES OF ASTRAZENECA OR FIGHTER SHOTS. ALSO ACCORDING TO THE CDC, THE COVID VACCINES WILL NOT PREVENT INFECTION OR TRANSMISSION, AND, ACCORDING TO THE CDC, VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE NOT LESS INFECTIOUS THAN UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. AH THEY ACQUIRE IT AND TRANSMIT IT JUST AS EASILY AND THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH. THANK YOU. GOOD TIMING. DID THAT. THAT BRINGS US NEXT TO, UM GREAT, ARE YOU. REGARDING REGARDING RESOLUTION 21 12 LET ME START OUT BY APPRECIATING THE TIME AND INTENTION THAT'S GONE INTO CREATING A RESOLUTION THAT VALUE TRUTH. RESPECT COMMUNITY AND INCLUSION AND. AIMS TO ACHIEVE A DISTRICT THAT IS FREE FROM THE EVILS OF RACISM.

HOWEVER THIS GOOD HAS BEEN OVERSHADOWED BY THE VISIT AND PARTISAN POLITICAL GAME THAT'S BEING PLAYED ON THE SPORT TONIGHT. HOW IS IT NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT TEACHING AT THE DISTRICT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SHIP SHARED VALUES AS THOUSANDS OF RESOLUTION. THIS RESOLUTION IS ALL ABOUT JUDGING THE COVER, NOT THE BOOK URGED THE BOARD NOT TO WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE DEBATING WHAT IS AND ISN'T CRITICAL RACE THEORY OR WHAT IT DOES, OR DOESN'T SAY.

CUT OUT THE POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING AND PASSED A RESOLUTION OF INCLUSION. YOU OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PREAH SHAW. I WANT TO START BY THANKING TRUSTEE BLADES ON OCTOBER 12TH.

SHE WROTE ON FACEBOOK THAT SHE BELIEVES STRONGLY IN THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO AMERICAN CITIZENS BY THE U. S CONSTITUTION. SO DO I. IN PARTICULAR, I SHARE YOUR ENDORSEMENT OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT. SINCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES WITHIN THEM ARE A PUBLIC INSTITUTION. THEY ARE BOUND BY THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION. IN FACT, PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE THE INSTITUTION WHICH IN SOME RESPECTS, MOST

[00:50:03]

AGAIN I'M HERE IS A MOM AND A GRANDMOTHER. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT ATTEND THE DISTRICT. REGARDING THE VACCINATION OF CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ASSURED ME THAT THIS PRACTICE WOULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE PARENTS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, RIGHT, RICHARD? BECAUSE I SPOKE WITH RICHARD. UM SO IF THERE ARE PARENTS THAT DO NOT WANT THEIR CHILD VACCINATED , BE ASSURED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD. I

[00:55:05]

OUR EDUCATION IS TELLING US THAT OUR STORIES ARE TOO CONTROVERSIAL AND ULTIMATELY IT IS PUTTING US BEHIND EVERYONE ELSE. I WANT TO KNOW MY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF ALL STUDENTS. EDUCATION I WANT TO KNOW MY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL LISTEN AND EVEN LEARN FROM US STUDENTS. LASTLY I WANT TO KNOW THAT MY FRIENDS, CLASSMATES AND THE GENERATIONS THAT FOLLOW WILL HAVE A SECURE FUTURE AND AN EDUCATION WITHOUT LIMITATION. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MAGDALENA PONZIO. I'M STANDING HERE AGAIN TO DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF MY EDUCATION.

YOU TELL US SCHOOLS PREPARING US FOR THE REAL WORLD. AND YET YOU LIMIT EDUCATORS AND SHELTER YOUNG STUDENTS FROM LEARNING THE TRUTH. YOU PRIORITIZE THOSE WHO SAT IN CLASSROOM DEATHS WHEN THE WORLD LOOKED A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT. YOU TELL US OUR OPINIONS MATTER. YOU TELL US OUR VOICES IMPORTANT, YOU TELL YOU STAMP VALUES OF ETHICS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITE HEADINGS, AND I'M TELLING YOU, IT IS NOT ENOUGH AND I'M ASKING YOU TO LISTEN. OUR DISTRICT BROADLY RECOGNIZES CRT AS A STUDY OF RACISM AS INSTITUTIONAL AND SYSTEMIC, BUT IT GOES FAR BEYOND THAT. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF RESPECT, SUPREMACIST TRUTH AND IGNORANCE. EDUCATION DOES NOT INTEND TO OPPRESS BUT TO LIBERATE I AM STANDING HERE AS A STUDENT, AND TO TELL YOU OUR EDUCATION BELONGS TO US. AND WE SHOULD AND IT SHOULD BE MOTIVATED BY US AND WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DEMAND THE TRUTH . THANK YOU. PIG, GASTON CASTELLANOS. CASTELLANOS. GOOD EVENING. AH! BOARD MEMBERS IF YOU CAN'T ACCURATELY DEFINED CRITICAL RACE THEORY, DON'T TRY AND BAN IT. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO WORK. EDUCATION SHOULD BE THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH. UH IF YOU LOOK AT HISTORY, OTHER COUNTRIES THAT BAN THAT SENSOR. THOSE ARE COUNTRIES THAT WE HAVE FOUGHT THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY NOT ONLY ABROAD, BUT ALSO AT HOME. DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA, AND I'M

[01:00:04]

HELLO AH, MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE. AH SO MY NAME IS LLOYD WALLS. I'M BEEN LIVING HERE ABOUT 40 YEARS NOW. UM I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT THE BAN ON CRT. UM, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT TRUTH IN THE CLASSROOM, AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION TO HAVE.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO CONSIDER IS THE PRECEDENT THAT A BAN WOULD SET. THE QUESTION. ASK YOURSELF IS, WOULD YOU BE SUPPORTIVE OF BANNING CONTENT IN THE CLASSROOM AND ITEMIZING IN ENUMERATING WHAT WORDS WE CAN USE IN THE CLASSROOM? IF INDIVIDUALS YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH POLITICALLY WE'RE SITTING ON THE BOARD. BECAUSE IF THE ANSWER IS NO. THEN BY PASSING A BAN, YOU ARE ESTABLISHING AN EXPECTATION AND A PRECEDENT MOVING FORWARD THAT EVENTUALLY WHENEVER IT HAPPENS WHEN THE PENDULUM SWINGS THE OTHER WAY, AND DIFFERENT BOARD MEMBERS ARE SITTING THERE. THEY CAN ACT IN BAD FAITH AND BAND THINGS YOU WANT TO TALK. IT'S AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION TO MAKE YOU CANNOT UNRING A BELL. ONCE THIS MOVES FORWARD, IT IS GOING TO CHANGE HOW WE DO THINGS IN THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKERS. OUR MIKE.

JOAN HERRICK. KOURTNEY JOCKS. AND LESS ROW, BRANDON IT'S HE WANTS TO. NOT LESS. UM, NOPE.

NOT DOING THAT. JUST OKAY, BECAUSE THERE'S A BRAND IS THERE A BRANDON. OKAY I'LL REPEAT THE NEXT FOUR. MIKE JONES, HERRICK, COURTNEY JOCKS AND PAM M. TIMES MM HMM. OKAY IN NOVEMBER, WE HEARD A COMMENT. RACISM IS DECLINING. SOME MEMBERS WERE MESSAGING TO US RACISM.

BASICALLY, WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS TO TALK ABOUT IT. IN RECENT MONTHS. MOST OF THE TEENAGERS, BOTH OF THEM STUDENTS OF COLOR, HAVE SPOKEN AT THESE BOARD MEETINGS. TO THOSE WHO SAY I DON'T SEE COLOR. A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM REFUSED TO SEE BEYOND THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN TO REALLY LISTEN AND HEAR AND ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR PERSONAL STORIES OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION HARASSMENT. HURT AND PAIN. STUDENTS WERE MOCKED, DISMISSED AND HEARD COMMENTS LIKE GO BACK TO CHINA. THE VULNERABLE. THEY ARE SMART, BRAVE AND STRONG TO BE HERE. THEY COME NOT TO PLAY THE BLAME GAME BUT TO BE LEADERS AND AGENTS AND ADVOCATES FOR POSITIVE CHANGE. LISTEN TO THEM . SET ASIDE YOUR FEARS OF DISCUSSING HARD TOPICS ENGAGE WITH THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AND BECOME POSITIVELY INVENTED IT INVESTED IN THEIR FUTURE. MA'AM. MA'AM. WERE YOU WAS THAT JOAN HERRICK WAS THAT JOAN AND WE HAD A MIC, UM, THAT I CALLED JUST A ONE WORD, MIKE. OKAY? YOU'LL BE UP AS WELL. SO NEXT, COURTNEY JOKES. MRS M. WE CAN JUST GO IN THAT ORDER. MRS. M. YOU CAN GO AHEAD. OR PAY. MM. OKAY SO I BELIEVE THIS BOARD HAS VIOLATED A NUMBER OF ITS OWN BYLAWS. THE FIRST ONE IS 92 40 THAT REQUIRES THE BOARD CONDUCT A SELF EVALUATION IN ODD YEARS. ARE REQUESTED IT THAT IT BE PLACED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, SO THAT'S VIOLATION NUMBER ONE. VIOLATION NUMBER TWO IS 92 51. I BELIEVE THE BOARD HAS NOT LIVED UP TO THIS BYLAW TITLED ETHICS FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. THE FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE CHILDREN NOT TO THE UNION, NOT TO THE TEACHERS AND NOT TO THE EXECUTIVE STAFF. THE SECOND RESPONSIBILITY. I'M GOING TO READ DIRECTLY QUOTE AS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER. I KNOW MY SECOND RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE CITIZENS WHO ELECTED ME. WHAT I DO REFLECT THEIR CONCERNS. I AM ACCOUNTABLE TO THE CITIZENS FOR THE ALLOCATION OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS ENTRUSTED TO ME. SUCH ALLOCATIONS SHOULD IN FACT REFLECT THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED TO ME. THE CONCERNS OF DISTRICT CITIZENS WILL THEREFORE BE MY SECOND CONSIDERATION IN MY ACTIONS AS A BOARD MEMBER. CLOSE

PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT. HERE'S A LIST OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAVE ALREADY TAKEN ACTION TO OPPOSE. ANY MEDICAL MANDATES ON THEIR STAFF AND STUDENTS. I'M NOT GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS AND TOWANDA UBA RAMONA OCEAN VIEW ELDORADO STAINLESS AND CALVARY'S CHINO VALLEY. WHAT YOUR BRAILLE AND MARK TWAIN, APPLE VALLEY LUCERNE VALLEY. HAPPY VALLEY ELDORADO. OKAY, THERE'S TOO MANY LESSONS. BUT PLEASE TAKE US DOWN FOR PARENTAL CHOICE. MIKE. OKAY? I REQUEST THE DISTRICT SUPPORT, PARENTAL CHOICE AND PUBLICLY STATE THAT P Y EL USD WILL NOT COMPLY AND WILL NOT ENFORCE THE VACCINE REQUIREMENT OF STUDENTS AND STAFF. THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS OF THIS DISTRICT WILL NOT ACCEPT SIMPLY SENDING A LETTER TO NEW, SOME POLITELY ASKING HIM TO RECONSIDER THE MANDATE. FLAT OUT REFUSAL TO COMPLY IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE OUTCOME. IN FACT, YOU WILL BE RECEIVING DETAILS OF A PETITION TONIGHT. SUPPORTING THIS REQUEST ALREADY SIGNED BY OVER 1700 PARENTS IN THIS DISTRICT. NOW I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY DIRECTLY. SILENCE AND COMPLIANCE ENABLES TYRANTS. IF YOU WANT TO END THIS WHOLE CHARADE, THEN YOU MUST SPEAK UP AND YOU MUST STOP COMPLYING, SHOW UP TO FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS AND DEMAND THIS DISTRICT FIGHTS TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS. STOP COMPLYING WITH THE MASKS. STOP COMPLYING WITH THE TESTING. STOP COMPLYING WITH ALL OF IT! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M TIRED OF HOLDING THE LINE. IT'S TIME TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE AND ADVANCE THE LINE WITH EVERY LEGAL RECOURSE AVAILABLE. LET ME BE VERY CLEAR TO ALL THE TYRANTS . YOU'VE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND PREPARED TO DEFEND YOUR POSITION BECAUSE SOME OF US ARE FREE AMERICANS AND WOULD RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET. PLACE. QUICKLY REMARKS. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. NATHALIE GARCIA. NATHALIE GARCIA, SHANI MURRAY AUSTIN BY A AND SCOTT MAGNET. THANK YOU. EVERYBODY LET'S REMEMBER TO LISTEN FOR THE SPEAKERS AND LET'S KEEP EVERYTHING DOWN SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR. NATALIE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED IN P Y EL USD FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS AND GREW UP ATTENDING SCHOOLS IN THIS DISTRICT. WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY I'M ABOUT TO SAY, WITH RESPECT TO ALL THE EDUCATORS, CARETAKERS, AIDS AND EMPLOYEES WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO ENSURE WHAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS RIGHT BY OUR CHILDREN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT MAKING THE DECISION TO PASS RESOLUTION 21 12 WOULD MEAN DOING A DISSERVICE TO AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IF THIS BOARD CHOOSES TO PASS THIS RESOLUTION , IT IS SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE EDUCATORS IN THIS DISTRICT THAT IMPLIES THAT THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EDUCATING THEIR CHILDREN. YOU WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR KIDS? STOP TRYING TO CREATE AN ISSUE THAT HAS NO RIGHT BEING DISCUSSED IN THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS IN THE FIRST PLACE. CRT IS A GRADUATE LEVEL ACADEMIC FRAMEWORK THAT INCLUDES DECADES OF SCHOLARSHIP RESEARCH DATA, AND IT'S BEEN FALSELY BRANDED BY THE MEDIA AS A TOOL TO INDOCTRINATE OUR YOUTH INTO THINKING THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE BAD AND SHOULD FEEL GUILT FOR THE PAST. THIS LINE NEEDS TO STOP BEING TOLD. ANYONE WHO CLAIMS CRT CREATES AN UNFAIR DISADVANTAGE. DEPICTION OF WHITE HISTORY SHOULD TURN OFF THEIR TV , GET OFF FACEBOOK AND ENROLL IN A GRADUATE COURSE. NOW PERHAPS THEN WE CAN DETERMINE IF CREATING AND VOTING ON A RESOLUTION BANNING IT IS TRULY NECESSARY. THANK YOU. SHANI MURRAY. HI I'M SHANI MURRAY. AND FOR DECADES I'VE WATCHED THE ATTACK ON SCIENCE STEMMING FROM DISINFORMATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE . WHEN COVID HIT A NEW ATTACK WAS WAGED AGAINST MEDICAL

[01:10:01]

YOU DON'T SERVE THAT. I'M GONNA READ VERY QUICKLY. OKAY DEAR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS RECENTLY I'VE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD LOOKING TO THE VAGUE DEFINITIONS OF RACE CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND THE UNBELIEVABLE IDEA THAT HIS TEACHERS, WE MAY POSSIBLY BE TOLD WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT TEACH IN OUR CLASSROOMS. IF MY CONCERNS ARE BASED ON RUMORS, I DO APOLOGIZE. HOWEVER, FOR THE RECORD, I FEEL I MUST SHARE MY THOUGHTS REGARDING THE NATURE OF EDUCATION. TO BE CLEAR THE INTENT OF MY EMAIL. TO YOU EARLIER THIS WEEK, ALL OF YOU IS TO DEFINE THE PRECISELY WHAT I'VE ALWAYS TAUGHT, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TEACHING MY ART STUDENTS FACTUAL HISTORICAL TRUTH, WINSTON CHURCHILL ONCE SAID. IF WE OPEN A QUARREL BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESIDENT, WE SHALL FIND THAT WE HAVE LOST THE FUTURE. I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ABOUT TO SUBMIT ENTRIES THIS WINTER FOR THE ANNUAL CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY ART AND WRITING CONTEST AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. P. WEIL HAS EARNED MANY AWARDS OVER THE YEARS. AND IN THE FIVE YEARS AS ESPERANZA IS OUR TEACHER, I'VE HAD FOUR INTERNATIONAL FINALISTS IN THE CATEGORY OF ART. THE CONTEST REQUIRES STUDENTS WHO IMMERSED THEMSELVES. IN THE LIFE OF A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR VIA VIDEO TESTIMONY AND REFLECT ON THE STORIES THEY TELL AND WRITE DOWN A SPECIFIC WORD OR PHRASE.

PLEASE EMPATHIZE WITH I DON'T THINK THAT YOUR REMARKS. THANK YOU. I HOPE THAT YOU READ THE EMAIL, PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR PLEASE. OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER, APRIL OY. PLEASE MAKE A FIRM

[01:15:06]

THANK YOU. JOSEPHINE. HELLO MY NAME IS JOSEPH INCOME AS A STUDENT IN YEAR 11. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT GROWING UP. NOT NOW. I'M ONLY ABOUT TO GO TO COLLEGE AND I HAVE A YOUNGER SISTER, WHO IS ABOUT TO ENTER HIGH SCHOOL IN A YEAR. THE EDUCATION I'VE RECEIVED AND WHEN MY SISTER WOULD RECEIVE BE EXTREMELY DIFFERENT IF WE IMPLEMENT THE BAN OF CRT, NOT JUST MY SISTER, BUT MY SISTER'S FRIENDS, MY COUSINS, YOUR CHILDREN AND THE FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL BE MISSING KEY PARTS OF HISTORY THAT DEFINES AMERICA. I'M SURE ALL OF YOUR PASSIONATE ABOUT EDUCATION. I MEAN, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND HISTORY THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN THROUGH. I AM NOT TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND THE HARDSHIPS OF OUR HISTORY. DO NOT CENSOR ME AND DO NOT CENSOR THE FUTURE. EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE EMPHASIZE READING, HOMEWORK, MORALS AND TEACHING. THE FUTURE GENERATION DEPENDS ON THE ACTIONS WE DO NOW. IF WE LEAVE IMPORTANT PARTS OF HISTORY BEHIND, HOW WILL WE BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT AND WHAT'S WRONG? LET'S STOP THE BAND OF SIERRA T. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR NEXT FIRST SPEAKERS ARE PATRICIA HANDS ON PAUL KUNKLE. SARAH CLARKE. AND EMILY ROSELLE. PATRICIA HANDS THOSE FIRST. GOOD EVENING. SO THE SCHOOL BOARDS ARE USUALLY NON PARTISAN POSITIONS, AND SO THOSE ON THIS SCHOOL BOARD NEED TO LEARN TO LEAVE THEIR POLITICS AND RELIGION OUT OF THE DOOR, INCLUDING Q. AND ON. APPARENT CAN ALREADY SPEAK WITH A CHILD'S TEACHER ABOUT BOOKS AND CURRICULUM. THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE.

THAT PARENTS, RELIGION AND POLITICS CANNOT TELL OTHER STUDENTS WHAT TO LEARN OR READ.

YOUR RELIGION CAN'T MAKE OTHERS DO SOMETHING. LET'S PUT THIS CHAOS AND FEAR MONGERING INTO PERSPECTIVE. DID YOU KNOW THAT TRUSTY BLADES YOUNGBLOOD ANDERSON, ONE IN NOVEMBER 2020 WITH A NASTY CAMPAIGN AND TRASH TALK. THEY ENTERED THESE SEATS IN A COMBATIVE MANNER TO DISMANTLE AND HURT PUBLIC EDUCATION. TRUSTEE BLADES GOT 7000 VOTES OUT OF 19,000 VOTES.

THIS MEANS THAT 12,000 PEOPLE DID NOT WANT HER SITTING HERE TODAY. THAT'S 12,000 PEOPLE SO PAY ATTENTION INCLUDE. PAUL KUNKLE. PLEASE PLEASE STOP TALKING IN THE AUDIENCE. WE NEED

[01:20:12]

WHAT DO YOU THINK ALL THESE PARENTS ARE GOING TO DO? WHEN THINGS DON'T YOU KNOW? START TO CHANGE START TO GO THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. YOUR TAXPAYERS. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT HERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR KIDS. NOT AN AGENDA. TALKING ABOUT WHITE PRIVILEGE. I STARTED WITH NOTHING SEVEN YEARS AGO, NOTHING. POLICE CONCLUDE YOUR IS BLOWING UP, PLEASE. THAT'S YOUR REMARKS. SARAH CLARKE. MY NAME IS SARAH CLARK AND I HAVE THREE KIDS CURRENTLY IN THE DISTRICT.

ONE HAS ALREADY GRADUATED. I HAVE BEEN COMING TO THESE MEETINGS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, AND I HAVE BEEN LEARNING A LOT. I HAVE LEARNED WHICH SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WILL REPLY TO MY CONCERNS AND MY EMAILS, WHICH ONES ARE LISTENING TO THE PARENTS OF THE KIDS IN THIS DISTRICT AND WHICH ONES HAVE OTHER OBJECTIVES, WHICH, UH, OTHER THAN THE ROLE IN THERE IN THE SCHOOL BOARD, KAREN FREEMAN AND CARRY BACK YOU HAVE NEVER REAP. I PLAY TO ANY OF MY EMAILS. YOU HAVE REPLETE REPEATEDLY SHOWN THAT YOU CARE MORE ABOUT DOING WHAT THE TEACHERS UNION WANTS YOU TO DO THAN WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PARENTS IN THIS DISTRICT WANT.

YOU REPRESENT. IF YOU REPRESENT THE STUDENTS, THAT MEANS YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PARENTS' CONCERNS THAT REPRESENT THAT. THE PARENTS ARE THE ONES WITH THE STEWARDSHIP OVER THEIR CHILDREN. YOU NEED TO REPRESENT US AND KAREN, YOU ARE. THE BOARD MEMBER IN THE AREA THAT I LIVE IN. YOU ARE UP FOR RE ELECTION NEXT YEAR. I HOPE THE PARENTS IN THAT AREA ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

THE MAJORITY OF THE PARENTS IN THIS DISTRICT WANTED THEIR KIDS . THEY DON'T WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE FORCED TO TAKE AN EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTION. AND THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO BILL MARKS.

BREATHE FREE. FRESH AIR. THANK YOU. EMILY ROSE. OH, I'M GOING TO FOCUS MY COMMENTS TO PARENTS TONIGHT, WATCHING JUST A FEW OF MY CONCERNS. WHY ARE WE USING COMPUTER PROGRAMS TO ASSESS CHILDREN'S SKILLS LIKE I READY? NOT TEACHERS. THE STATS AND I READY LAST MONTH SHOULD CALL AN INVESTIGATION ON THE PROGRAM ITSELF AND ITS PURPOSE. ALSO WHY IS OUR BOARD SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ATTEND AN EVENT PUT ON BY THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION, WHO PROMOTES POLICE HATE? CRT AND BILL, UM AS WELL AS GIVES 100 K TO THE NSB, A WHO CALLS THE FBI OUT TO TREAT PARENTS AS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. ANOTHER ITEM THAT BROKE MY TRUST . THIS BOOK IN THE SPORT WAS THAT OUR BOARD VOTED IN SECRET TO SEND A LAWYER TO THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING TO OPPOSE THE COUNTY, APPROVING A CHARTER CALLED ORANGE COUNTY CLASSICAL ACADEMY.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? THIS MEANS THREE BOARD MEMBERS VOTED AGAINST PARENT CHOICE. THEY VOTED AGAINST AN AMAZING CHARTER BECAUSE THEY CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN THEY DO ABOUT OUR KIDS. THREE OF THESE BOARD MEMBERS RAN ON PARENT CHOICE AND ONE VOTED AGAINST PARENTS.

PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARK PARENTS. WE NEED YOUR HELP. INCLUDE YOUR REMARKS, PLEASE EMAIL OUR BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT REQUESTING A TOWN. WE NEED A TOWN HALL. OUR NEXT SPEAKER'S MIGUEL LOPEZ RICKEL FLEXNER. ETHAN BERG AND EMMA JANE DEARER. I MAY HAVE GOTTEN THAT LAST AND WRONG, BUT IT'S HARD TO READ D A. R. LOOKS LIKE FIRST ONE IS MIGUEL LOPEZ.

SO THIS YEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SUPREME COURT, WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON. BUT AGAIN, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS WERE ON THE DOCKET. IT'S ALREADY BEEN ARGUED. BUT UNLIKE ROE V. WADE. THERE WERE THREE WOMEN ON THE SUPREME COURT THIS YEAR WHO HEARD AND COULD AT LEAST EMPATHIZE WITH THE POINTS MADE ABOUT A WOMAN'S DECISION. AND A WOMAN'S BODY. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE FOR AMY, CONEY BARRETT OR IF YOU LIKE ELENA KAGAN. OR JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR. THE POINT IS THERE'S THREE WOMEN THERE ON THE BOARD THAT ARE

[01:25:04]

NEXT SPEAKER RICKEL FLEXNER. NUMBERS DON'T LIE. JUST A MINUTE. PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS DOWN SO THAT WE CAN HEAR OUR SPEAKERS AGAIN. THANK YOU. NUMBERS DON'T LIE. TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SEE OF GREED. OUR NUMBERS HAVE GROWN WITH EACH MEETING, PARTICULARLY THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. THEY'RE HERE FOR YOU.

TO TAKE NOTICE, AND THEY'RE SWELLING NUMBERS IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE BAN ON CRT.

NUMBERS DON'T LIE. LAST MEETING THE BOARD WAS PRESENTED WITH ACHIEVEMENT DATA FOR OUR STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR. THIS DISTRICT IS FAILING OUR POOR&ST STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR. NUMBERS DON'T LIE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO CLOSE IN THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IS NOT CLASS SIZE, NOT NUMBER OF HOURS OF INSTRUCTION, NOT STRINGENT OVERSIGHT ON CURRICULUM. THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO CLOSE AN ACHIEVEMENT GAP IS WITH A SKILLED TEACHER. WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT HOW TO BEST SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS NOT TO LIMIT THEM. ETHAN BERG NEXT. HI I'M A SENIOR. I'M ETHAN BURGER.

GO TO ESPERANZA. PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN SO THAT WE CAN HEAR OUR SPEAKER. AH I'M A SENIOR. I'VE HEARD A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS HERE. I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. I'D SAY TO ALL THE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO TAKE A CRITICAL RACE THEORY CLASS. I'D SAY GO AHEAD, HOWEVER , WE SHOULD NOT HAVE IT IN OUR OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD BE IN HIGHER EDUCATION. YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG OR A BOARD OF EDUCATION, NOT A BOARD OF INDOCTRINATION.

THE PROBLEM. WITH CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT. THE IDEA IS THAT IT TEACHES. IT'S THE FLOODGATE THAT OPENS WHEN WE DO NOT BAN A CRITICAL RACE THEORY ENABLES THE TEACHING OF AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT CRAP CRITICAL RACE APPLIED PRINCIPLES. IT ALLOWS THESE TEACHERS WHO HAVE THIS AGENDA TO PUSH THESE IDEAS ON YOUNGER STUDENTS WHO MAKE THEM GROW UP WITH THESE IDEAS AND MAKE THEM MORE. WE ALL HATE RACE. IT'S RACISTS, RIGHT? IT MAKES THEM RACIST PLAN AND SIMPLE. IF I WAS A KID. AND SAFE FIFTH GRADE, AND I WAS TAUGHT THAT BEING WHITE WAS EVIL. I WOULD SAY, HEY, I GUESS I'LL BE EVIL. PROBLEM IS, PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR REMARKS TO BAN SEE ARTIE. IMOGENE. EMMA JANE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. I'M WEARING GREEN BECAUSE I LIKE THE COLOR, NOT BECAUSE I'M WITH ANY CERTAIN PARTY. SO MY COMMENTS TONIGHT ARE IN RESPONSE TO THE RECKLESS SPENDING THAT I SAW HAPPEN AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING. AND THE SCHOOL BOARD APPROVED OF $400,000 CONTRACT WITH MOVING MINDS. AND THIS COMPANY NEVER CAME AND PRESENTED. ITSELF NEVER SAID WHAT THEIR PLAN OF ACTION WAS. WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT MOVING MINDS OTHER THAN WHAT YOU LOOK FOR ON THE INTERNET, WHICH ACTUALLY, I DID WHILE I WAS SITTING HERE. AND IT'S NOT VERY MUCH. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OUR DISTRICT CAN JUST SIGN OFF SO QUICKLY. WITHOUT VETTING THE COMPANY AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE OUR DISTRICT IS CONSTANTLY GETTING INTO TROUBLE. YOU'RE CONSTANTLY SIGNING OFF STAMPING APPROVAL BECAUSE YOUR STAFF REFERS TO COMPANY TO YOU AND YOU DON'T DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE TO ACTUALLY LOOK INTO THAT COMPANY. IT'S RECKLESS, IRRESPONSIBLE AND IT'S BAD BUSINESS. PLEASE MAKE BETTER CHOICES. OUR NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. ANDY FALCO. KAREN MATTHEWS, STANFORD AND HEATHER M. ANDY GO AHEAD FIRST. AFTER SEEING LAST MONTH STATS. I WOULD

[01:30:07]

THEY ACHIEVE. WE'RE NOT AGAINST . WE'RE NOT FOUR CENSORSHIP WERE AGAINST TEACHING LIES. TO OUR CHILDREN AND TELLING THEM IT'S THE TRUTH. IT IS NOT THE TRUTH AGAIN. I WAS A POLICE OFFICER 21 YEARS AND I WORKED FOR 21 YEARS WITH GREAT MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT RACIST. SO THE TEACH OUR CHILDREN THAT POLICE ARE RACIST IS WRONG. WE NEED TO BAN CRT TODAY, NOT WAIT. MOVE ON TO EDUCATING OUR KIDS GET RID OF IRONY BECAUSE IT'S TEACHING OUR KIDS NOT INCLUDE YOUR REMARKS ARE FUTURE. KAREN. I HAVE TWO KIDS IN THIS DISTRICT FOR NOW. THERE'S A REASON WHY THERE ARE MORE AND MORE STUDENTS HERE OPPOSING THE BAN ON CRT. TEACHERS AND OTHER SCHOOL STAFF MEMBERS ARE BRIBING STUDENTS WITH THE PROMISE OF SERVICE HOURS IF THEY SHOW UP HERE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE BAN ON CRT. ART TEACHERS AND STAFF MEMBERS SUPPOSED TO REMAIN NEUTRAL WITH STUDENTS. IT SEEMS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO BE RECRUITING AN ARMY AN ARMY OF STUDENTS TO SHOW UP AT BOARD MEETINGS TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THESE STAFF MEMBERS, PERSONAL AGENDAS. AND IT ALSO GIVES A SKEWED BUSE AND STUDENTS WHO SUPPORT THE BAN ARE NOT BEING OFFERED THAT SAME PERK. AND YES, THERE'S EVIDENCE OF THIS AS WELL AS STAFF MEMBERS, PUTTING OUT AN ALL CALL ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ACTIVISTS FROM OUTSIDE OUR AREA. TO COME SPEAK AT THESE MEETINGS BECAUSE SHE FEELS THEY ARE TAKING OVER. THEIR MEETINGS WERE TAKING OVER YOUR MEETINGS. I THOUGHT IT'S FOR THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS HERE. APPARENTLY WE'RE JUST A MINORITY AND WE DON'T DESERVE A SAY IN WHAT OUR KIDS ARE TAUGHT. BANNING CRT IS NOT CENSORSHIP. IT'S ABOUT KEEPING CLEARED YOUR REMARKS ABOUT EDUCATION, NOT CONCLUDE YOU'RE A MARTIAN. LIKE. I CAN HANDLE IT. PLEASE LET ME. THANK YOU. EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO SPEAK. THANK YOU TO THE BARN AT ALL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THEIR RETIREMENT AND NEW TITLES. FIRST OFF, I'D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT VACCINES AND MASKS. VACCINES IF THEIR LEGAL FOR MANDATES ALWAYS HAVE MEDICAL OR RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION, SO LOOK INTO IT. I'VE BEEN REFUSING THE FLU SHOT, WHICH WAS MANDATED IN MY WORK FOR THE LAST DECADE, SO I'M VERY COMFORTABLE IN A MASK. MY PROBLEM, THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE IS WITH THIS DOCUMENT. WITH IT BETTER BY LAWYERS. I'M TOLD AND MISSING ALL OF THE CONTENT. NOT CONTRADICTING ITSELF. BUT ONCE YOU FILL IT WITH CONTENT, IT'S GOING TO BE SELF CONTRADICTING BECAUSE THE RESOLUTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO NOT BE CONSTRUED TO RESTRICT. ACADEMIC FREEDOM. OR STUDENTS SPEECH. CRT IS SOMETHING THAT'S NEVER GOING TO BE TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THIS BAN IS GOING TO ALLOW A LOT OF TERMS TO BE BANNED, WHICH ARE NOT EVEN PART OF THIS ARGUMENT. SO I REALLY THINK YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT THIS CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. OKAY AND HEATHER M. IS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, OUR DISTRICT VOTED SEEMINGLY IN SECRET TO SEND A LAWYER TO REPRESENT THE DISTRICT OPPOSE THE COUNTY APPROVAL OF ZERO CC, A SUCCESSFUL CHARTER SCHOOL. THAT MEANS THREE OF YOU VOTED TO SEND A LAWYER THERE, MEANING THREE OF YOUR AGAINST PARENTAL CHOICE. I AM HUGELY DISAPPOINTED IN THAT. CHARGES CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN A GREAT BENEFIT TO MY CHILDREN'S EDUCATIONS. THEY'RE WONDERFUL. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH CHILDREN WHO ATTEND ORANGE COUNTY CLASSICAL ACADEMY AND THEY LOVE IT. WHY WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO TAKE AWAY PARENTAL CHOICE ON THIS AND MAKE THAT DECISION SEEMINGLY IN SECRET? WHY WOULD YOU ASSUME TO KNOW MORE THAN WE KNOW? AS OUR CHILDREN'S PARENTS KNOW AS TO WHAT EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS ARE BEST SUITED FOR OUR CHILDREN. YOU WERE ELECTED TO REPRESENT US . THE PARENTS AND OUR CHILDREN THAT WAS IN POOR TASTE AND A POOR DECISION. WITHHOLDING THAT INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC AND WITHHOLDING THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE FROM PARENTS IS WRONG AND IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO WE, AS PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO VOTED TO MAKE THAT UNWISE AND ARROGANT DECISION.

PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR SQUELCH A GREAT CHARGES. CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS WRONG. I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THIS TIME FAMILIES. OKAY. OUR NEXT SPEAKER'S RIVER LABARGA. DONNA POTTER. MRS G AND

[01:35:12]

HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE ABOUT BANNING CRT AND IS NO LONGER FEELING AS WELCOME AS THEY DID BEFORE. NOW, YOU MAY THINK IT'S AN ACADEMIC DISCUSSION. IT IS NOT IN OUR HOUSEHOLD. I AM NOT A PERSON OF COLOR, BUT MY KIDS ARE AND. I SEE WHAT THEY GO THROUGH. AND WHEN YOU SAY WE BAN THIS, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO PEOPLE IS THAT IT'S OKAY TO COMMIT VERBAL HATE CRIMES. GOD FORBID PHYSICAL HATE CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE STUDENTS INTERPRETED AS. THAT'S WHAT THE STUDENT BODY IS SAYING. PLEASE STOP TALKING IN THE AUDIENCE.

DONNA UM. IT'S THE FIRST I WANT TO THANK IAN FOR COMING TO FROM L A AND SUPPORTING PARENTAL RIGHTS FOR MEDICAL DECISIONS. UE AISLE ON PARENTAL RIGHTS FOR MEDICAL CHOICE, AND I WANT TO THANK HIM PERSONALLY FOR COMING . I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF BOTH LEANDRA AND SEAN FOR RESPECTING AND CONTINUING THE FIGHT FOR FAMILY VALUES AND PARENTAL RIGHTS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A PARTISAN DECISION. I THINK THAT IT'S AH PRINCIPAL DECISION THROUGH IT. THREE OF YOU RAN OFF A FAMILY VALUES AND PARENTAL RIGHTS, UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN PARENTS THE DIRECT STEWARDSHIP OVER THEIR CHILDREN. SO WHEN YOU REPRESENT THE PARENTS, YOU REPRESENT THE CHILDREN. WHEN YOU REPRESENT THE CHILDREN, YOU REPRESENT THE PARENTS. THEY GO HAND IN HAND. KAREN FREEMAN. WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE POINT THAT I SAW YOU ROLL YOUR EYES WHEN ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS WAS SPEAKING TO YOU . YOU ROLLED YOUR EYES. SO OBVIOUSLY SARAH CLARK CLARK, YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VIDEO. IT'S QUITE DISGUSTING AND VERY NON CIVIL AND VERY DISRESPECTFUL. THANK YOU. LET'S GO, KAREN. THIS IS G. I WANTED TO POINT OUT LAST MONTH TO YOU ALL THAT THE YOUR BELINDA LIBRARIAN HAD BLACK LIVES MATTER MATERIAL AND I HAD BROUGHT THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION LAST MONTH. AND IT WAS FOUND ON HER VIRTUAL DISPLAYS. MY HUSBAND HAD ALSO MET WITH MR AL SASSER AND DISCUSS THIS WITH HIM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE LOOKED INTO. A MONTH LATER. IT IS STILL THERE. SO I EMAILED THE PRINCIPLE OF YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT AND HE GOT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT HAD BEEN TAKEN DOWN. AND PUT BACK UP , BUT WITH NO EXPLANATION, SO I AM STILL WAITING TO AS WHY IS THIS STILL THERE AND PUT BACK UP? AND VERY DISGUSTED. BY THE LITTLE ER, BALENCIAGA.

LIBRARIAN. UM. YOU KNOW, LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO COME HERE TO WEAR GREEN. WE NEED SUPPORT BECAUSE OUR LIBERIAN THEY'RE BEING ATTACKED. THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS HIRE. REALLY? GOING TO LET HIM JUST TALK LIKE THAT. PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. OKAY. AND OUR LAST SPEAKER IS TOM. TOM AGREE, LIUS. TOM, IS THAT YOU? HI. MY NAME IS THOMAS REALLY IS AND I HAVE A STUDENT ELDORADO AWESOME. HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU

[01:40:04]

THAT MOVES TO GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK. UM. PRIOR TO GENERAL FUNCTIONS, AND THAT IS LINDA COHN. I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM THREE. I WANT YOU TO BE SURE TO PUT THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON THE NOMINATED COMMITTING. LAST FRIDAY. I ATTENDED THE MEETING OF THE ORANGE COUNTY COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL DISTRICT ORGANIZATION . THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING WAS TO PROVE APPROVE THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION RECOMMENDED MAP FIVE FOR REDISTRICTING. THE MAP MET ALL THE GOVERNMENT CRITERION WAS BACKED BY ENTHUSIASTIC PARENTS BUY A 72 VOTES, THE COMMITTEE OF SEVEN DEMOCRATS AND TWO REPUBLICANS REJECTED THE MAP AND DEMANDED MORE TIME EVEN BEYOND THE 15TH THE DECEMBER 15TH DEADLINE. ALTHOUGH IN MY OPINION , THEIR QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED . THE COMMITTEE REJECTED SEVEN MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND METICULOUS EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION TO FOLLOW REDISTRICTING GUIDELINES. ADD THE MAP. FIVE IS FROM THE HIGHLY RESPECTED NATIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC COMPANY. A NEUTRAL ENTITY. THE RESULT IS THAT A PARTISAN GROUP OF LEFTIST HAS TAKEN OVER REDISTRICTING POLICIES. CONCLUDE YOU'RE THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, AND THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS REMARKS. OKAY THAT MOVES US TO GENERAL FUNCTIONS NUMBER ONE AND I NEED A MOTION TO BEGIN A WAIT. I'M SORRY. ACTUALLY WE DO NEED A MOTION TO BEGIN AND THEN WE'LL TURN IT OVER. WOULD BE GREAT. NICE TO SEE YOU. SO LET'S DO THAT FIRST.

[02:00:10]

UM, AND ALSO DEFAMING THEM. THEY BASICALLY SAID IN A MEMO. THEY SAID THAT. POLICE OFFICERS IN BRAZEN DEFIANCE OF THE LAW AND THE PROFESSIONAL OATH HAVE EXPLICITLY STATED THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE SAFETY MANDATES OR RESTRAIN THOSE WHOSE ACTIONS WILL FULLY DISRUPT A MEETING.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT. THEY WERE ASKING POLICE OFFICERS TO DO OFFICERS TO DO WAS TO VIOLATE THE PARENTS. FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS BY SPEAKING OUT OF OUT AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, WHICH I THINK WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG, AND WHEN I CALLED THEM ON IT. THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME. THEY BASICALLY SAID THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS DOING THIS, BUT WHEN I ASKED FOR AN EXAMPLE, THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME ANY. THE CSB IS BACK BILLS IN CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE WHO PREVENT TRANSPARENCY FOR PARENTS IN SCHOOLS AND REMOVE PARENTAL RIGHTS. AND SO I'M REALLY WONDERING WHY WE'RE CONTINUING TO BE PART OF AN ORGANIZATION WHO PUSHES CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN A LIBERAL AGENDA. WE'VE TRIED TO VOTE TO LEAVE THE CSP A DUE TO ALL OF THE ABOVE THINGS AND AS THE EVIDENCE KEEPS COMING OUT ABOUT ALL OF THE STUFF THAT THEY'RE BACKING, UM IT JUST SEEMS LIKE. THEY ARE NOT REPRESENTING. MY CONSTITUENTS ARE CONSTITUENTS AND THEY'RE NOT REPRESENTING PARENTS, AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN REPRESENTING STUDENTS ANYMORE. SO I'M GOING TO VOTE NO. ON THIS. CUTE UM. I KIND OF LIKE IT. CHANCE OF BEING A DELEGATE. SORRY AND I'M I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, I KNOW YOU'RE YOU HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE. PRESIDENT HERE. PRESIDENT WITH ORANGE COUNTY CSP A AND I'M JUST WONDERING IS THIS? SOMETHING THAT, UM. I KNOW YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, BUT HELP SPREAD THE LOAD. PROBABLY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IN AHEAD OF TIME, UM, TO BE ABLE TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR IT. THERE ARE ALTERNATING YEARS THAT YOU CAN APPLY. THERE'S NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS OR THE NUMBER OF NOMINEES THAT WE CAN HAVE THE APPLICATION GATE. BELIEVE IT IS PAST THE APPLICATION, NOT PAST THE APPLICATION DATE. WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT AT A BOARD MEETING PRIOR PRIOR TO BEING SUBMITTED, AND WHEN IN JANUARY DOES THAT HAVE TO BE THAT SOUNDS RIGHT. AT OUR MEETING IS ON. WHAT THING? OKAY, SO WE COULD DO THAT. IT'S JUST AN OPTION. I'VE BEEN ATTENDING THEIR MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES AND. AS THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME PROBLEMATIC ISSUES. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE REALLY GOOD, AND I JUST FEEL LIKE. POSSIBLY YOU KNOW, BE A VOICE AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR VOICES OF OUR DISTRICT OR HEARD WE AS ORANGE COUNTY ARE THE LARGEST DELEGATE IN THE STATE.

AND IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT THE VOICES OF ORANGE COUNTY OR HURT IF WE DON'T GO TO THE TABLE, THEN WE AREN'T ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE INFORMATION TO SO THAT YOU CAN ALSO APPLY. THERE'S NO LIMIT. UM ON ON WHO APPLIES OR ARE THEY? IT GOES FROM HERE TO, UM. TO THE FULL ORANGE COUNTY. I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS THERE ARE LIMITS ARE THERE UM. A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE IS AND I DON'T HAVE THAT AT MY FINGERTIPS, BUT I THINK THERE IS A CRITERIA. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CRITERIA. WE HAVE THE NUMBER OF YEARS SO THAT YOU AT LEAST ALREADY UNDERSTAND BEING A BOARD MEMBER. IN IN YOUR DISTRICT BEFORE YOU THEN GET INTO. THE OTHER THE STATE LEVEL WITH THEM.

OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WILL BE DISCUSSING. THE COMMITMENT IS ABOUT TWO TIMES A YEAR WHERE YOU HAVE MEETINGS AS A AS A LARGE GROUP AND THEN DISCUSS POLICY AND VOTE ON THAT AS A AS A LARGE ORGANIZATION AND VOTE FROM THERE. UM I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S TWO YEARS OR FOUR YEARS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE BOARD, BUT I'LL GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU AND THEN YOU CAN APPLY AS WELL.

SO ARE WE GOING TO TABLE THIS THEN? SURE WE CAN TABLE THIS SO THAT AND BRING IT BACK FOR OUR

[02:05:02]

ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY SO LET'S TAKE A VOTE ON THAT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR TABLE WERE LET'S WE'RE NOT GOING TO TABLE THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE IT IN BY. BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING IF WE'RE ABLE TO ADD MARYLAND, MRS ANDERSON ON WITH CRITERIA, THEN WOULD IT BE OKAY TO DO A SPECIAL MEETING TO HAVE I KIND OF FEEL BETTER? JUST TABLE IT UNTIL WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION RIGHT? BECAUSE IF WE CAN ONLY ELECT ONE AND HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING. YEAH. IF THAT'S OKAY, OKAY. OKAY I DON'T THINK IT WILL TAKE US VERY LONG. OKAY. OKAY TABLE THAT CAN I ASK. CAN I ASK A QUESTION BECAUSE I'VE ASKED TO TABLE THINGS IN THE PAST. I'VE BEEN TOLD NOTES ON THE JANUARY VOTE NOW. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? JUST SO I KNOW FOR FUTURE.

[BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL]

[02:10:05]

FIRST WE'RE GONNA VIEW WITH YOU THE STATE'S CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK. FOLLOWED BY THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED SINCE OUR BUDGET WAS APPROVED BACK IN JUNE. TONIGHT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DISCUSS OUR FIRST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT PROJECTIONS. SOME OF THE BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT LIE AHEAD IN THE NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE STATES, CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND THIS INFORMATION IS BASED ON THE HELIOS FISCAL OUTLOOK FOR REPORT FOR CALIFORNIA, WHICH WAS RELEASED BACK ON FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 17TH. THE ELIO, WHICH IS A NONPARTISAN FISCAL ADVISOR TO LEGISLATURE HAS RELIED ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ECONOMIC FORECAST FROM ECONOMISTS TO PREPARE THIS FISCAL OUTLOOK REPORT. THE REPORT PROVIDES AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMY AND INCLUDES THE CURRENT YEAR 21 22, THEN FOUR SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. IN A TIP. TYPICAL YEAR. THE ELIA PROVIDES A MAIN ECONOMIC FORECASTS AND THEN TO ALTERNATIVE FORECASTS. THIS YEAR, AS WELL AS LAST YEAR IN RECOGNITION OF ALL THE VOLATILITY SURROUNDING THE CURRENT PANDEMIC. ELIO PROVIDED ONE MEAN FORECAST WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAVEATS AND WARNINGS. SO HERE'S SOME OF THE KEY OBSERVATIONS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THAT FISCAL OUTLOOK. UNFORTUNATELY THE STATE ECONOMY HAS CONTINUED ITS STRONG REBOUND IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THE HELIOS NOW FORECASTING THE STATE REVENUES WILL INCREASE BY OVER $28 BILLION ACROSS FISCAL YEARS. 2021 21 22. AND THAT'S UP FROM THE EARLIER PROJECTIONS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE STATE'S BUDGET ACT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. WHEN COMBINED WITH THE HIGHER SPENDING REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOOLS AND LOWER SPENDING ACROSS OTHER SECTORS OF THE STATE BUDGET FOR BOTH FISCAL YEARS. 2021 21 22. THE OTHER IS FORECASTING A BUDGET SURPLUS OF $31 BILLION NEXT YEAR IN 22 23. AS WELL AS OPERATING SURPLUSES WOULD BETWEEN 3 TO $8 BILLION EACH YEAR, WITH THE FORECAST PERIOD. AND UNDERLYING THAT INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS. THE ELIO POINTS TO SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, INCLUDING DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH IN RETAIL SALES. STOCK PRICES THAT OVER DOUBLED FROM THE PRE PANDEMIC LOW. AND THEN SEVERAL, SEVERAL MAJOR CORPORATIONS REPORTING RECORD EARNINGS. COURSE THE STRONG REVENUE OUTLOOK IS GOING TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR PROPOSITION. 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE FOR SCHOOLS AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A BIT. SO THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE BIG THREE STATE TAX REVENUES, WHICH OF COURSE, INCLUDES PERSONAL INCOME SALES AND CORPORATE TAXES, AND IT HIGHLIGHTS THOSE REVENUES OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD. AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS SLIDE DURING THAT PAST 12 MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021. TAX COLLECTIONS GREW AT AN ANNUAL RATE OF 30 30% WHICH IS THE FASTEST RATE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE STATE AND OVER FOUR DECADES. AND THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE STATES OPERATING SURPLUSES THAT ARE PROJECTED IN EACH OF THE REMAINING FOUR YEARS OF THAT FORECAST PERIOD. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART THE STATE'S FORECASTING AT $31 BILLION BUDGET SURPLUS NEXT YEAR IN 22 23. OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 5.2 BILLION OF THAT SURPLUS IS CONSIDERED ONGOING. AND THEN FOR FISCAL YEARS 23 24 THROUGH 25 26 . THE STATE'S BUDGET SURPLUSES ARE PROJECTED TO BE BETWEEN THREE AND $8 BILLION EACH YEAR, WITH THAT FORECAST PERIOD. SO THE ELIO DOES POINT OUT, HOWEVER , THAT THERE'S SOME SIGNIFICANT UNKNOWNS THAT CONTINUE TO CLOUD THE STATE'S FISCAL OUTLOOK. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA'S ONLY RECOVERED ABOUT 67% OF THE JOBS LOST SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, AND THEN THERE'S CERTAIN SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY, WHICH WERE HIT PARTICULARLY HARD, INCLUDING LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY THAT HAVE NOT YET FULLY RECOVERED. ON THE INFLATION FRONT, THE CONSENSUS VIEW AMONG ECONOMISTS THAT THE UPTICK IN INFLATION WILL BE TEMPORARY, AND THEN WE'LL LESSON NEXT YEAR. AND THE STATE'S FORECAST FOR INFLATION DOES FOLLOW THAT CONSENSUS VIEW AMONG ECONOMISTS. HOWEVER THERE SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY THAT REMAINS REGARDING THAT INFLATION FORECAST. IF INFLATION DOES PERFECT PERSISTS, THIS COULD LEAD TO INSTABILITY IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND THE OVERALL ECONOMY AND THEN DEPRESS THE STATE'S REVENUE OUTLOOK MOVING FORWARD. ON THE STATE SPENDING SIDE. HIGHER INFLATION COULD LEAD TO HIGHER COSTS, PARTICULARLY ON DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS, CASH ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ALSO EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON THE PROP 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE FOR

[02:15:06]

[02:20:04]

AND THAT'S PRIMARILY DUE TO THE STATES HOLD HARMLESS PROTECTIONS THAT WERE BUILT INTO THE BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE PRIOR YEAR. AND SO WHEN YOU GO OUT TO 22 23, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE FORECASTING A SIGNIFICANT DEFICIT OF 10.5 MILLION. THAT'S PRIMARILY DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE STATES. HOLD 88. OLD, HARMLESS PROTECTIONS. SO WE WILL FILL IN THAT YEAR. THE LOSS OF THE 88 THAT WE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND THEN IN 23 24. YOU CAN SEE THE DEFICIT DROPS SLIGHTLY DOWN TO 9.9 MILLION AND THEN AGAIN IN 24 25 DROPS A LITTLE BIT ON THE 9.2 MILLION. SO AGAIN, THREE KEY REASONS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THOSE STRUCTURAL DEFICITS. THE BEGINNING 22 23, INCLUDING THE EXPIRATION, THE STATE'S 80 HOLD HARMLESS PROTECTIONS THAT WERE INITIATED DURING THE PANDEMIC. THIS IS GOING TO TRIGGER PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN RL CFF FUNDING FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE COST INCREASES FOR STEPPING, COLUMN, HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS AND ALSO PERSON STIRS PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS, WHICH CONTINUE TO GO UP ABOUT 3% PER YEAR OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD. AND THEN LASTLY, OF COURSE, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGE INCREASES IN SALARY WALL, SO INCREASE THOSE DEFICITS MOVING FORWARD. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT ALL THE TEMPORARY POSITIONS AND THE SERVICES THAT WERE FUNDED THROUGH ONE TIME COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING. AND YOU CAN SEE AGAIN. WE'VE INCLUDED THE CURRENT YEAR AND THEN THREE SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

AND THE CURRENT YEAR 21 22. YOU CAN SEE WE'RE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY 13.1 MILLION. AND SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FOR 90 FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS. AND APPROXIMATELY 5.6 MILLION IN SERVICES AND SOFTWARE. AND WE GET OUT TO 22 23 THAT AMOUNT DROPS TO 3.7 MILLION AND THEN AGAIN DROPS IN 23 24 TO 1.5 MILLION. AND THE REASON WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE THESE POSITIONS AND SERVICES AGAIN ARE CHINA CHARGED TO ONE TIME FUNDING RESOURCES.

AND SO WHEN THOSE THAT FUNDING SOURCES THOSE FUNDING SOURCES EXPIRE. WE WILL NEED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHAT WE DO WITH THOSE POSITIONS AND SERVICES. SO AS MENTIONED EARLIER THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY THEIR FINANCIAL CONDITION TWICE EACH FISCAL YEAR ONCE AT FIRST INTERIM AND SECONDARY REPORTING, AND THERE'S THREE TYPES OF CERTIFICATION.

FIRST WE HAVE THE POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. AND THIS INDICATES A DISTRICT WILL BE ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND THE CURRENT AND THEN THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

WE ALSO HAVE A QUALIFIED CERTIFICATION IN THIS INDICATES THE DISTRICT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS EITHER IN THE CURRENT OR TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE A NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION, WHICH INDICATES A DISTRICT WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS EITHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT YEAR OR IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR.

AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION BE ASSIGNED TO THE DISTRICTS FIRST INTERIM REPORT TONIGHT. AND ALTHOUGH DEFICIT SPENDING IS PROJECTED, AH, THE DISTRICT WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT STATE'S MINIMUM RESERVE REQUIREMENT IN EACH OF THE CURRENT INTO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND THEN HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR COMPONENTS OF ANY BALANCE. HOW WE PROJECT TO CLOSE OUT THE YEAR. YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE PROJECTING TO CLOSE OUT THE GENERAL FUND OF 66.7 MILLION OR COMBINED GENERAL FUND. OF WHICH 56.4 MILLION IS SITTING IN UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTS. AND JUST OVER 10.3 MILLION AND RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS. AND WE ALSO HAVE THAT LEGAL RESTRICTIVE RESERVE FOR CASH AND STORES AT 260,000. AND THEN DOWN BELOW ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE WE SET ASIDE A RESERVE FOR STRUCTURAL DEFICITS. FUTURE STRUCTURAL DEFICITS AT 39.1 MILLION. AND THEN WE ALSO SET ASIDE RESERVES FOR FUTURE TEXTBOOK AT OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS AT 10.3 MILLION, AND THAT WILL LEAVE US WITH THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES. I'VE JUST UNDER 17 MILLION, OR 5% OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING

[02:25:02]

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, FROM THIS CHART, COST FOR STEP AND CALL THE MOVEMENT. PERSON STIRS PENSION OBLIGATIONS AND HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PREMIUMS ARE GOING UP ON AVERAGE ABOUT 3% PER YEAR OVER THAT FORECAST PERIOD. ON THE OTHER HAND, OR ELSE IF BASE FUNDING WHICH IS REPRESENTED HERE ON THIS SLIDE BY THE BLUE BAR. OVER THAT SAME PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THAT ONLY ABOUT 1% ON AVERAGE OVER THAT SAME PERIOD. AND THAT'S AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR DECLINES IN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. SO WITH EXPENDITURES FORECAST TO RISE FASTER THAN OUR OPERATING REVENUES. AH THAT WILL INCREASE THE DEFICIT MOVING FORWARD, ABSENT ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM THE STATE AND OR REDUCTIONS THAT WERE ABLE TO MAKE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. THEN WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP WITH THE NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS. SO AGAIN TONIGHT. WE'RE ASKING THE WARD TO PROVE OUR FIRST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT. AND THEN IN 20 IN FEBRUARY, 22 I WILL PRESENT THE DISTRICTS 21 22 EL CAP SUPPLEMENT. THAT'S A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, AND IT WILL INCLUDE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COVID RESOURCES THAT WE RECEIVED. AND HOW WE PLAN TO SPEND THOSE DOLLARS. AND THEN IN MARCH OF 22 BY MARCH, 15 WILL PRESENT THE DISTRICTS SECOND INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT THAT WILL INCLUDE OUR ACTUAL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS THROUGH JANUARY, 31ST. ALSO INCLUDE UPDATED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FORECAST. AND THEN AT THAT TIME , WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL, WHICH WILL PRESENT AS WELL AND THEN IN EARLY JUNE. WE'LL HAVE OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON BOTH THE EL CAP AND ADOPTED BUDGET. AND WE'LL WRAP UP IN LATE JUNE WITH RECOMMENDING BOTH APPROVAL OF THE CAP AND THAT ADOPTED BUDGET.

I JUST WANT TO CLOSE AND THANK OUR FISCAL SERVICES TEAM OR BUSINESS SERVICES TEAM FOR ALL THE WORK ON OUR FIRST INTERIM REPORT, LED BY DINA FELIX, OUR DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS SERVICES, AND PALM TRAN. OUR DIRECTOR OF FISCAL SERVICE OF BIG THANK YOU TO THEM. ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL? I HAD JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IF I MAY. WE JUST HAD. A SIMILAR REPORT IN ROP. JUST LAST WEEK, TWO DOOR OUR FIRST IN TRUMP. ANT THE CLIFF AND I'VE HEARD THAT MENTIONED BEFORE. IS THAT IN FACT, WHAT IS THAT 22 23. WHEN THINGS GET YOU WERE KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING THAT OKAY? YES, OKAY. UM. AND THEN SO IT'S GOING TO BE NOT JUST UNIQUE TO US. IT'S GOING TO BE AS THEY SAY, THE CLIFF. OKAY UM AND WE HAVE DECLINING ENROLLMENT AND WE HAVE, AS YOU SAID, FOR SOME YEARS. SOME YEARS BACK ONE OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCES WE HAD A PARTICULAR PROFESSOR ON DEMOGRAPHICS AND SO FORTH FROM USC SPEAK TO US. AND UM HE WAS, YOU KNOW, LOOKING DOWN RANGE, OF COURSE AND ANTICIPATED THAT WE WOULD START HAVING THIS PROBLEM . YEAH BUILD AND BUILD, BECAUSE FOR ONE THING, DECLINING BIRTH RATES. AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANY INFORMATION KIND OF AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING. UM THAT YOU HAVE ANY AT THIS TIME, ANY COMMENTS AS TO WHETHER WE CAN SAY PART OF THIS DECLINING ENROLLMENT? IS THAT. I KNOW THERE'S OTHER REASONS. WE CERTAINLY NOT THAT USC PROFESSOR I KNOW DID NOT ANTICIPATE COVID AND THE IMPACT THERE AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HADN'T EVEN COMMENTS ON THAT. THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT

[02:30:02]

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIN. ENROLLMENT DROPS THAT WE'VE HAD JUST IN THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE, UM COVID AND I'M JUST WONDERING. WHAT IS OUR PLAN TO DEAL WITH THOSE ENROLLMENT DROPS SO THAT WE CAN STAY FINANCIALLY SOLVENT AND THEN DO WE HAVE ANY LIKE CONTINGENCY PLANS? IF, UM.

IF THAT, LIKE THE VACCINE MANDATES CALM, AND WE'VE HEARD THAT MANY PARENTS WILL PULL THEIR CHILDREN. AND FROM WHEN FROM WHEN I WAS AT THE CONFERENCE. SORRY. BEEN TOO WEAK. UM. LISTEN TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT ATTORNEYS AND LOBBYISTS TALK ABOUT THESE MANDATES, AND THEY THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN ABOUT. IF THE LEGISLATIVE PASSES THIS ABOUT 2023 RIGHT, RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CLIFF. SO I'VE JUST. MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME PLANS IN PLACE AND THAT WE HAVE SOME CONTINGENCY PLANS AS WELL SO THAT WE ARE PREPARED. TO STAY SOLVENT. ABSOLUTELY A BIG PART OF OUR OUR JOB AND FISCAL IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON ENROLLMENT. AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE NEW DEMOGRAPHER NOW. WE'VE MET WITH THEM. WE'VE SENT OVER OUR DATA, AND SO THEY'LL BE RUNNING PROJECTIONS FOR US HERE IN THE NEXT MONTH. THEY SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED FROM US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE PROJECTIONS. AND THEN WHAT? WE'LL DO WE TAKE A LOOK AT A ROMAN NOT JUST FROM THE DEMOGRAPHER, BUT WE'LL RUN OUR OWN ANALYSIS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT HOW STUDENTS ARE MOVING UP AT GRADE LEVEL, AND WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE PROJECTIONS AND WILL DEVELOP STAFFING LEVELS FOR THE COMING YEAR. AND THAT'S A CRITICAL PART OF WHAT WE DO. UM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT AS THAT ENROLLMENTS DECLINING THAT WE'RE ADJUSTING STAFFING WHERE WE NEED TO. AND SO WE'LL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

THAT WAS A PROCESS THAT THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. AND ARE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET THAT SPENT ON STAFFING IS WHAT ABOUT 86% IS THAT WHAT I REMEMBER FROM READING MY NOTES TODAY? THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S TYPICALLY IT'S IN THAT 85 TO 87% RANGE FOR OUR DISTRICT. IN THE YOU KNOW THE YEAR THAT WE'RE IN NOW, WITH ALL THE COVID FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED, IT FLUCTUATES BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SO THAT PERCENTAGE WILL DROP IN A TYPICAL YOU'RE LIKE THIS, BUT IT'S NORMALLY IN THAT 86. 86% RANGE. THANK YOU.

UM LAST YEAR, THE YEAR BEFORE, UM WE HAD A SURPLUS AND THE GOVERNOR PAID TOWARD PURSE. TRES DID A CONTRIBUTION TOWARD THAT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR ANY HINTS THAT YOU'VE HEARD OF THAT? THAT MIGHT BE A POSSIBILITY. YEAH IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I THINK WITH ALL THE ADDITIONAL REVENUES THAT HAVE COME INTO THE STATE, THE INCREASE IN THE PROP 98 GUARANTEE I KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE AREAS THAT. A LOT OF DIFFERENT EDUCATION GROUPS HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR AS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ON THE CASTERS AND CALPERS PENSION SYSTEMS, INCREASING THE BASE RATE, INCREASING FUNDING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION. SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. OKAY? SO THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO A VOTE. OKAY. WE HAVE MOTION BY MRS FREEMAN. SECOND BY MRS BLADES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I MOTION CARRIES 50. MOVING ON TO

[CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION]

[02:35:03]

SPECIFICALLY WE WERE AT A AT A PLACE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. IT ALL ABOUT TEACHERS HEAD ALREADY BEEN BEING TRAINED. YOU KNOW, IN THAT APPROACH. BUT WE'RE NOW IN A POSITION WHERE WE'VE HIRED NEW TEACHERS, AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WANTING TO PROVIDE REFRESHER COURSES. YOU KNOW IN THAT APPROACH, BUT IT'S REALLY ABOUT IT. IT'S A STRATEGY THAT REALLY HELPS FOR STUDENTS TO, YOU KNOW, BUILD THEIR CRITICAL THINKING. IT'S VERY MUCH ON THE LINES THAT HELPS THEM EXPLAIN, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, HOW THEIR UNDERSTANDING THE MATERIAL THAT'S PRESENTED TO THEM. AND IT REALLY IS. IT'S JUST ABOUT ITS ITS RESEARCH BASED ON EVIDENCE BASED AND HELPS OUR TEACHERS IN IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO YOU KNOW, AND ESPECIALLY ASSIST STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING IN THE AREA OF MATT. THAT'S AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. AND THEN REALLY AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, IT'S ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW BASED PRACTICES THAT WE WILL BE ALLOWING FOR OUR TEACHERS TO PROVIDE THAT THAT THE INSTRUCTIONAL AND TRAINING SPECIFICALLY IN OUR PLC PROCESS , WHICH IS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, WHICH IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE USE OF ASSESSMENTS AND COLLABORATION THAT TEACHES, YOU KNOW, COME TOGETHER AT THEIR GRADE LEVELS. AND THEN THEY CONTENT AREA TO LOOK AT WAY STUDENTS ARE STRUGGLING, CONSIDERED BASED PRACTICES AND REALLY OUR TRAINING THAT WE PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, REALLY LEADS . YOU KNOW TEACHERS THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE THE STRATEGIES AVAILABLE TO THEM, TOO. INCREASE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. MAYBE WILL BE WELL LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW VARIETY OF DIFFERENT CONSULTANTS, BUT ULTIMATELY JUST UTILIZING OUR TEACHERS ON SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT OUR VERY OWN, YOU KNOW, COACHES , WHICH WE HAVE. WE HAVE EXCELLENT TEACHERS IN THOSE ROLES WHO YOU KNOW TO ALLOW FOR US TO PROVIDE SUBSTITUTE DAYS FOR OUR TEACHERS TO COME TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, IN THE GRADE LEVELS TO REALLY LOOK AT BEST PRACTICES AND ASSESSMENTS TO IDENTIFY WHERE STUDENTS NEED THAT ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION. AND TRAINING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND I JUST I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE'VE GOT EXTRA MONEY FOR

[02:40:05]

YEAH, RADIO, AND THAT'S THAT'S A ALLOWS FOR US TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE STUDENT WAYS OUR STUDENTS ARE. AND SO TYPICALLY, WE DO A SECOND ONE IN THE SPRING, AND I BELIEVE THE TIMELINE FOR ELEMENTARY IS AROUND TOWARDS THE END OF JANUARY. AT MIDDLE SCHOOLS A LITTLE AFTER THAT, AS I REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER, CORRECTLY, AND SO YES, IN THE SPRING, SO BY FEBRUARY, WE WILL BE BRINGING BACK THE RESULTS OF YOU KNOW THE LOOKING AT THE GROWTH THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE MADE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMING? ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AND OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 50 WITH AN EYE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. AND THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM NUMBER TWO. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO REVIEW RESOLUTION NUMBER 21 12 OPPOSING THE TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY. SECOND READING SECOND. EMOTION BY MRS BLADES, SECOND BY MR ANDERSON. KEEP DOING THAT. I'LL GET IT SERIOUSLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. DR ASSESSOR. I'LL PASS IT TO YOU SAVED ME. SURE LAST MONTH, THE BOARD HELD A STUDY SESSION TO SHARE FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS ABOUT RESOLUTION NUMBER 21-12 OPPOSING THE TEACHING OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY MP WHILE USD THIS. AT THE DIRECTION OF SOME PRESTIGE. BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE AT THE NOVEMBER STAFFED ME. THERE'S NOVEMBER MEETING STAFF SUBSEQUENTLY CREATED THE UPDATED DRAFT OF THE RESOLUTION. THAT IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, FURTHER DISCUSSION AND EDITS. TONIGHT IT'S 10, O'CLOCK, 10 OR ONE RIGHT NOW I WOULD PROPOSE THAT TRUSTEES SPEND NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES ON THIS ITEM AND WITH THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE COULD CONTINUE YOUR DISCUSSION DURING THE STUDY SESSION IN JANUARY IF ADDITIONAL TIME WOULD BE NEEDED.

OKAY? QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. WANT ME TO GO FIRST. OKAY, UM. ACTUALLY MAKE COPIES FOR EVERYBODY, SO I THINK IT'S. EASIER BECAUSE WE'VE MADE SO MANY CHANGES. UM. WHEN I REVIEWED THIS STARTED WITH, UM I'VE NUMBERED THE PARAGRAPHS. SO IN PARAGRAPH SIX. BASICALLY SAYS THE TGN HAS CIVIL DISCOURSE AND EMPATHY BY ALLOWING STUDENTS TO SEE THEMSELVES IN EACH OTHER. AS PART OF THE NARRATIVE IS BASED, ALMOST WORD FOR WORD, THE SAME WORDING THAT IS IN 12. I SAW THAT YOU DO THAT THAT TO YOU, SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE JUST WANT TO REMOVE THAT PARAGRAPH. SO WHEN YOU SAY SIX, DO YOU MEAN THE SIXTH WHEREAS OR WHAT? I JUST STARTED AT THE TOP, AND I STARTED NUMBERING THEM DOWN. LET ME. ALL RIGHT. I GOT WELL, I MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT TOPIC BECAUSE I. SO 30. OKAY SO THAT IS THE SIXTH. WHEREAS THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AND THEN.

[02:45:16]

BY OKAY, LET'S SEE. HOW DOES THAT DOES THAT. DO WE HAVE THAT THOUGHT CAPTURED ANYWHERE ELSE OR GETS AN N 12. IT'S THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SEEKS TO SUPPORT THE TEACHING OF RESPECTABLE COMMUNICATION. EMPATHY UNDERSTANDING, OKAY? IT WAS A PARAPHRASE DIFFERENTLY. OKAY, INSTEAD OF TEACHING OF CIVIL DISCOURSE. OKAY? IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING I GET. YEAH.

OKAY. GOOD DEAL. COMMENTS OKAY WITH THAT? OKAY, STRIKING SIX. OKAY. AND THEN, UM PARAGRAPH NINE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE MOVED BELOW PARAGRAPH SEVEN BECAUSE SEVEN IS TALKING ABOUT RACE. AND RACISM. AND THEN NINE JUST GOES BACK TO THAT. WHERE. EACH INDIVIDUAL CAN CHOOSE NOT TO HOLD RACIST VIEWS, SO I THINK IT FLOWS BETTER. UP THERE. AND THEN THERE'S A FEW CHANGES IN NINE THAT I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND UM. AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE AS WELL. THAT. WHEREAS EACH INDIVIDUAL CHOOSE NOT TO HOLD RACIST VIEWS AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO DO SO. IT SHOULD. BE A COMMON THERE.

AND THEN AN AND THEN A LOWER T. AND THEN WE DIDN'T PUT AT THE VERY END THE SEMICOLON IN THE END AS WELL. NOT. NOT OBVIOUSLY EXPECTED TO DO SO THAT THEY. THEY'RE AWAY FROM HIM, LIKE REPHRASE. WHATEVER YOU SUGGEST. EACH OF US BECAUSE. OKAY. YOU SAY THAT YOU THINK? OKAY, I'M MISSING SOME. I THINK THAT I THINK IT IS MORE POWERFUL AS IT'S AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED NOT TO DO SO. I THINK IT'S MORE POWERFUL IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. WITH THAT THOSE WORDS BUT YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT AGAIN. JUST KEEP PLAYING CATCH UP THAT THERE'S A COMMA AFTER SO AND THEN THE LOWER CASE T. OKAY. UH HUH. ANYTHING ON THAT ONE. IT'S OKAY WITH THE COMMENTS, COMMA AND THE SEMICOLON AND AT THE ENS JUST THINKING OUT LOUD. JUST I IT'S TRUE. I'M OKAY. I'M GONNA DO THAT. NO, I'M OKAY. I'M OKAY WITH THIS. YEP. ARE YOU GUYS GOOD WITH MOVING IT UNDER? GRAPH SEVEN YES, I SEE THE CONNECTIONS. AND THEN. TIME IS THE PLACE HOLDER. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RESOLVE. THIS WILL BE A DISCUSS. WANT TO GO TOWARD DEFINITIONS, BUT I PUT IN THERE.

PARAGRAPH. AFTER PREPARING A PARAGRAPH 13, IT SAID. FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE DISTRICT EFFORTS FROM.

FEC DIVERSITY, CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND ENCOURAGE CULTURAL RELEVANCE.

MAYBE REPEAT THAT PIECE. I'M SORRY. I'M NOT ON THE MIC. SO, UM AFTER PARAGRAPH 13 I'M ADDING I WOULD. PRESENT TO ADD NEW LANGUAGE THAT WOULD SAY BE. IT ALSO RESOLVED THAT CRITICAL RACE AREA WILL NOT BE USED AS A FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE DISTRICT EFFORTS TO PROMOTE EQUITY RESPECT. DIVERSITY CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AND ENCOURAGING. COURAGE CULTURALLY

NO, I THINK THAT 13 IS FINE. I JUST SAID THAT THIS WOULD BE. FOLLOWING IT. YEAH. AFTER 13.

OKAY AFTER IT WOULD BECOME THE NEW 14. OKAY? 14 14. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE. I THINK TO WHEN I WAS KIND OF RESEARCHING ALL THE DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS, I LOOKED INTO ETHNIC STUDIES, MONO CURRICULUM AND THE. THE DEFINITION FROM THERE IS CRITICAL RACE THEORIES OF PRACTICE OF INTERROGATING RACE AND RACISM IN SOCIETY. CRT RECOGNIZES THAT RACE IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY REAL, BUT IT'S SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED AND SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT RACES. RACISM IS EMBEDDED WITHIN SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT REPLICATE RACIAL INEQUALITY, CODE OF CODIFIED IN LAW EMBEDDED IN STRUCTURES INVOLVEMENT INTO PUBLIC POLICY. AND SO I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE CLOSEST SINCE IT'S THIS IS PRESENTED AN ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE, UM. DEFINITION THAT IS THE CLOSEST. UM THAT RELATES TO EDUCATION THAT I COULD FIND. AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT WHATEVER THIS PARAGRAPH IS, WE COULD USE THIS POSSIBLY AS A DEFINITION AND SAY THIS IS NOT WHAT THE P Y ALL USD WILL PROMOTE. THAT WE WILL NOT REAP. WE WILL NOT PROMOTE THIS DEATH. LIKE WHATEVER THIS DEFINITION SAYS. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE STAND FOR, AND THIS IS NOT WHAT WILL PROMOTE IN OUR TEACHING. ARE WE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT BY LAW? BASED ON OUR ETHNIC STUDIES, THE ETHNIC STUDIES? WELL, THE ETHNIC STUDIES ISN'T CRITICAL RACE THEORY, RIGHT? CORRECT FINE. SO CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN? CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS A PRACTICE OF INTERROGATING RACE AND RACISM IN SOCIETY. CRT RECOGNIZES THAT RACE IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY REAL, BUT IS SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED AND SOCIALIST SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT. ACKNOWLEDGES THAT RACISM IS EMBEDDED WITHIN SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT REPLICATE RACIAL INEQUALITY, CODIFIED IN LAW EMBEDDED EMBEDDED IN STRUCTURES AND WOVEN INTO PUBLIC POLICY. SO THAT WAS THE CLOSEST ONE THAT RELATES TO EDUCATION. I WOULD SAY THAT WE DO NOT ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TEACH THIS. IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND I ALSO I ALSO KIND OF FEEL LIKE I NEED TO MAKE A POINT TONIGHT TO, UM A LOT OF TEACHERS REACHED OUT TO ME. UM, THIS WEEK. I THINK THEY REACHED OUT TO THE ENTIRE BOARD AND WE'RE SAYING ABOUT ALL OF THE. LIKE MISINFORMATION THAT'S BEEN GOING AROUND IN THE DISTRICT ABOUT CRT, AND I FELT LIKE, UM, WE SAW SOME OF THE UNION EMAILS AND WE HEARD SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WAS COMING OUT OF THE UNION. AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS A MISREPRESENTATION OF WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN THE BOARD MEETINGS IS THE UNION TABLES, A COURTESY AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY RELAY ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD MEETINGS TO THEIR MEMBERS. AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY TEACHERS AND BY MEMBERS OF A PLE THAT THEY WERE TELLING THAT THEY WERE TOLD THAT. BASIC HISTORY THAT THEY'RE TEACHING NOW IN THEIR CLASSROOMS WOULD NO LONGER BE ALLOWED. AND I THINK THAT IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR AND PRETTY EVIDENT IN THE LAST MEETING THAT WE SAID THAT NOTHING COULD NOT BE THAT THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE WERE ASKING FOR.

THAT WE WANTED THE HISTORY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING. WE WANTED THE HISTORY, UM, THAT THEY'RE TEACHING NOW TO REMAIN BEING TAUGHT, BUT WE DON'T WANT THIS TYPE OF STUFF TO BE BROUGHT UP IN THE CLASSROOMS. AND SO I FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TABLE THERE FOR REPRESENTATION THAT WE WANT ACCURATE REPRESENTATION. I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT SO. I THINK PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEACH CERTAIN SUBJECTS, BUT IT'S USING. IT AS A FRAMEWORK. GOING BACK TO THAT THE UNITED STATES IS SYSTEMICALLY RACIST THAT, UM UM. MY NOTES THAT, UM, A PERSON'S RACE DETERMINES THEIR MORAL MORAL CHARACTERS AND MAKES THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAST GENDERS. IT TALKS ABOUT CHARACTER TRAITS, VALUES AND MORALS AND ETHICAL CODES AND PRIVILEGES. OUR RESULTS AS A MEMBERS RACE. BEING INHERENTLY RACIST ARE INCLINED TO OPPRESS OTHERS AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WORK. IT IS, YOU KNOW, SEEING AS A RACIST TRAIT, AND I THINK THAT'S

[02:55:03]

LET'S GET THAT STUFF THAT THAT WHOLE. GARBAGE OUT OF HERE AND GET BACK INTO ACADEMICS LIKE WE SHOULD BE. OKAY? I THINK WE NEED TO GO BACK AND START WORKING ON WHAT WE WANT TO PUT IN THE RESOLUTION. AND I ASK. I'M SORRY. UM. THAT I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE BOARD CAME TO ANY KIND OF AGREEMENT ON. THAT WHAT YOU CALLED NEW PARAGRAPH 14. WASN'T CLEAR. IF THAT IF YOU GUYS DECIDED THAT WAS IN IT GOING TO BE ADDED OR NOT? THAT WAS THE ONE THAT SAID, AH, BE IT

[03:00:02]

[03:05:04]

WE HAVE TO MAKE IT WHERE AND WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE THINKING EVEN IF THE CAREER THEY END UP IN ISN'T. WHAT THEY STARTED OUT TO BE, BUT THAT THEY HAVE MOTIVATION TO WANT TO BE IN SCHOOL. WANT TO SUCCEED, AND IF THEY GO ON TO A TRADE SCHOOL IF THEY GO ON TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE IF THEY GO ON TO UNIVERSITY THAT THEY WILL, FIRST OF ALL HAVE SUCCEEDED IN THE CLASSES THAT MIGHT BE THE FOUNDATION FOR THEM TO GET INTO THAT NEXT STEP AFTER THEY LEAVE US IN HIGH SCHOOL. ST THAT AS YOUNG AS WE CAN MAKE IT THAT OUR STUDENTS SEE THAT THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TAKE THESE DIFFERENT COURSES. AND SO THAT'S WHY I TALK ABOUT. GENDER AND HOW WE HAVE. TO IF WE PUT THIS IN HERE, I HAVE CONCERNS AS TO YOU KNOW? HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT IF WE HAVE THAT IN HERE. WHEN I LOOK AT INTERSECTIONALITY, I WOULD EXPLAIN IT THIS WAY. IT'S TAKING SOMEBODY. AND SEEING WHERE THEY INTERSECT WITH YOU. SO YOU KNOW, WE ALL YOU KNOW WE'RE WOMEN. SO WE INTERSECT.

YOU KNOW, AGE MIGHT BE NON INTERSECTION BETWEEN YOU AND I. AND ETCETERA, ETCETERA. AND THEN WHAT IT DOES IS IT TAKES ALL THOSE INTERSECTIONS. AND THEN THIS IS THE PART. I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT. I THINK WE SHOULD SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON AND WHAT WE DON'T. BUT THEN IT PUTS IT ON LIKE AN INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF DISCRIMINATION AND DISADVANTAGE. SO IT'S LIKE, PUTS IT ON A LADDER LIKE BECAUSE YOU INTERSECT THAT THIS MANY TIMES YOUR. YOU KNOW YOU'RE MORE DIMMEST. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HAD MORE DISADVANTAGES AND MORE DISCRIMINATION. AND I CAN JUST USE MY DEAR FRIEND, UM. SHE IS HALF KOREAN, HALF BLACK. SHE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES, SO SHE'S AN IMMIGRANT. AND WHEN SHE WAS 14, SHE WAS AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER. SHE WAS THROWN INTO HIGH SCHOOL HAVING TO LEARN ENGLISH. UM AND SO SHE HAS ALL THESE THINGS. OKAY SO NOW SHE HAS THIS INDEPENDENT LADDER. SHE'S AN IMMIGRANT. SHE'S AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDENT. SHE'S UM, MULTIPLE RACES. ETCETERA, AND SHE'S A WOMAN. OKAY SO NOW WHERE DO YOU PUT HER KIDS? ON THIS LADDER. SO IS SHE MORE DISADVANTAGED THAN HER CHILDREN ? YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT CREASES INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS WHERE IT MAKES. PEOPLE YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU'RE MORE JUST WHILE YOU'RE MORE DISADVANTAGED THAN ME, BECAUSE I'VE HAD THESE ISSUES.

YOU KNOW, LIKE BECAUSE HER KIDS ARE, YOU KNOW MULTIPLE RACES THERE, YOU KNOW, JUST GOT BOYS AND GIRLS. YOU KNOW, SHE HAS, UM, THERE. THEY LEARNED TO SPEAK ENGLISH FROM THE DAY THEY WERE BORN. YOU KNOW SO THAT YOU KNOW THEY'RE ON A LOWER AND I DON'T. THAT'S WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT INTERSECTIONALITY IS THAT. YOU KNOW LATTER THING THAT THAT INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF DISCRIMINATION AND DISADVANTAGE IS THAT'S WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT. I THINK IT'S GOOD TO LOOK AT HOW WE CONNECT. BUT WHEN WE'RE TAKING THAT CONNECTION, AND WE'RE RANKING IT, THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM. AND WHERE WOULD THAT OCCUR? THE RANKING. IT'S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS TAUGHT IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY THAT YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOU HAD THESE THINGS SINCE YOU'RE MORE DISADVANTAGED, OR, YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN MORE DISCRIMINATED

[03:10:03]

AND I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, AND THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT.

AND THAT'S WHY I PUT IT ON HERE, SO I HOPE THAT HELPS EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF BITE. BUT MY PERSON ABOUT HOW I SEE IT. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU. SO THE WAY I SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT INTERSECTIONALITY IS NOT NECESSARILY A LADDER, BUT MORE OF A VENN DIAGRAM. AND WHICH ISN'T RANKED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF. PINPOINTING WHERE THEY ARE TO HELP SUPPORT AND IN THOSE CAPACITIES. UM I AM OF THE THOUGHT THAT I AM OF THE THOUGHT THAT, UM WE TRY TO FRAME THIS IN THE WAY THAT. UM IT'S NOT NEGATIVE OR RESTRICTIVE, BUT PROMOTES WHAT WE EXPECT. UM SO JUST ALONG THE NOTE OF THAT LINE, I WROTE DOWN ALL THE SIX MAIN TENANTS AND KIND OF WENT THROUGH HIM. AND UM, I USED I USED A LITTLE ROTARY TRICK A LITTLE BIT. UM TALKING ABOUT THE , UM, THAT DIFFERENT RULES AND ROTARY AND HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS. AND IS IT THE TRUTH AND FAIR TO ALL CONCERNS AND BUILDING BETTER, UM GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS AND BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED, SO I KIND OF WENT THROUGH THAT A LITTLE BIT AND LOOKED AT AT EACH ONE OF THOSE TO SEE. WE'RE. UM HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT IT AND. I TRIED TO REFRAME IT A LITTLE BIT , UM, TO WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT. AND SO MY STATEMENT. I GUESS TOWARD THAT LINE WOULD BE, UM, THAT I WOULD WANT TO INCLUDE INSTEAD OF, UM, ACTUALLY, I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND SEE HOW WE CAN FRAME IT, SO IT'S A MORE POSITIVE WAY INSTEAD OF.

LIMITING BUT JUST ONE PARAGRAPH I WROTE JUST AFTER LOOKING AT THIS AND READING EMAILS AND TRYING TO, UM, ADDRESS ALL OF THE FEAR, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BRINGING. UM NO TRUTH AND, UM. AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO TEACH STUDENTS WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW. SO MY RESPONSE WAS TO THIS WAS WE WILL NOT TEACH STUDENTS TO BE DIVISIVE PREJUDICE OR THAT THEY'RE RACIST OR ARE LIMITED IN ANY WAY BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. INSTEAD WE WILL TEACH STUDENTS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING KIND, HOW TO WORK TOGETHER IN A POSITIVE WAY , AND TO CELEBRATE THE UNIQUENESS THAT THEY ALL BRING TO THE CONVERSATION. SO TRYING TO TRYING TO ADDRESS DEAD THAT UM. THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF, AND DON'T WANT US TO DISCUSS OR THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE. NEGATIVE AND TRYING TO SHIFT IT INTO A POSITIVE WAY. PLEASE LET US HAVE OUR CONVERSATION AND YOU CAN. SO THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M TRYING TO COME FROM, BECAUSE I REALLY I DON'T WANT. UM THAT TO BE NOWHERE, LIMITING THIS. LET'S TALK ABOUT IF THIS IS WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. WHAT DO WE EXPECT? WHAT SHOULD WE BE TEACHING? WHAT SHOULD HOW SHOULD WE ADDRESS THAT IN A WAY, THAT'S THAT'S A POSITIVE WAY. SO AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT, THAT'S HOW I'M TRYING TO WORK THROUGH IT. WE DID A GREAT JOB LAST TIME. I THINK GOING LINE BY LINE AND REALLY WORKING AT IT AND COMING TO A POINT WHERE WE AGREE . I THINK THERE'S SO MUCH OF THIS THAT WE AGREE ON AND IT'S JUST THIS FINE NUANCES THAT WE DON'T AND UM AND. LIMITING AND RESTRICTING, I THINK IS. IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE. AND IF WE CAN PUSH TOWARDS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AND WHAT WE EXPECT TO BE TAUGHT , UM AND THEN WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE. TIMES WHEN IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN EXAMPLES THAT IT'S THAT HAVE BEEN CONCERNING. I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE EXAMPLES TO I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT SPECIFIC. THOSE PERSPECTIVES SPECIFIC EXAMPLES, SO I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THOSE SO THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING ALL OF THAT. I LIKE WHAT THE PROPOSED NEW PARAGRAPH AFTER 13 AND THE PROPOSED DEFINITION. I LIKE THIS WHOLE THING. I WOULD VOTE TONIGHT TO PUT IT IN. I TEND TO AGREE. I DO LIKE THE WAY IN WHICH IT WAS WRITTEN UP. I THINK IT'S UH IT'S PRETTY INCLUSIVE. UM I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE. THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. UM AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN'T NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE. LIKE UM, LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, WE'RE SEEING THIS TYPE OF DISCUSSION IN SCHOOL BOARDS ALL ACROSS THE NATION. SO, UH, WE NEED TO GET A GOOD PORTION OF THIS. DONE AND, UM, AND THAT WAY WE CAN START HELPING OUR TEACHERS WITH ANY CONFUSION IN

[03:15:10]

I'M JUST SAYING, THAT'S WHY IT WOULD HELP AS WE PLAN TO DO ON THE OUT THERE TO HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE MATERIALS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THEM UNTIL WE ARRIVED. THEY WERE SITTING THERE IN FOLDER. SO I REALLY LIKE MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE HERE, AND I JUST WANT TO DIGEST MORE OF WHAT YOU HAVE. I THINK SOME OF THE I GUESS PROBLEMATIC. ISSUES, YOU KNOW, WITH US. WE DO OUR BUSINESS IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC , SO I CAN'T SEND YOU THIS. AND IT'S WRONG. AND ONLY I CAN ONLY PASS IT OUT AT MEETINGS SO I THINK WE HAVE BEEN. THIS IS WHAT ARE ITS ALL BEEN AWHILE? IS THIS OUR THIRD MONTH? THIS IS OUR THIRD MONTH WORKING ON IT. AND UM, I THINK WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING. DOWN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WELL, I THINK WE ALL HAVE IDEAS IN THERE. CLOSE. BUT WE NEED TO FIND TUNA AND UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU PUT IT DOWN IN IN IT AND READ THE WHOLE THING. YOU KNOW, WHEN I READ THE WHOLE THING I WAS LIKE, OH, WE JUST SAID THAT HERE

[03:20:03]

A LOT OF PEOPLE NOT WANT TO BE FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE ONE THING OR THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN SOMETHING AND. IT'S KIND OF A LOT JUST FOR TEENAGERS JUST TO BE TALKING ABOUT, UM. I PERSONALLY THINK I THINK OUR HISTORY CLASSES DO AN AMAZING JOB OF TEACHING US LIKE WHAT AN AMAZING NATION WE'VE HAD. AND WHAT HAS GONE DOWN TO HELL WE'VE ESTABLISHED, UM AND I THINK THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED ABOUT AND I ACTUALLY THINK, YOU KNOW.

HISTORY YOU KNOW, IN OUR HISTORY OF HOW WE ESTABLISHED VERY FASCINATING. I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT IT. UM BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY ERASING HISTORY , BUT IT'S MORE LIKE LET'S NOT COMPLETELY REMAKE HISTORY. THERE ARE THINGS. THAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY THAT I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO REMAKE AND I JUST FEEL LIKE. HAVING THESE TYPES OF STUDIES OR CLASSES CAN KIND OF LIKE WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO TEACH THIS. I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY KIND OF HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON WHAT IS RIGHT OR WHAT IS WRONG OF TEACHING THIS UM. AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING LIKE WE'RE NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO TEACH ANYTHING ABOUT RELIGION, AND SO. I KNOW IF THERE WAS A CLASS, YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY OWN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AS WELL. THAT WOULD BE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. IF I COULD, YOU KNOW, BEING A CLASS ABOUT RELIGION AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT UM, I JUST THINKN KIND OF MAKE US MORE DIVIDED, AND I THINK YOU KNOW, BEING IN A SCHOOL DISAGREE. THE BIGGEST THING WE WANT IS TO BE UNITED. UM AND I THINK WE CAN EXPRESS YOU KNOW THESE ISSUES IN ANOTHER WAY. BUT I FEEL LIKE IF PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO GET IN DEPTH ABOUT IT, UM. YOU KNOW THERE IS HIGHER EDUCATION FOR IT. PEOPLE WANT TO GO MORE INTO IT. UM. AND LIKE, LEANDRA SAID, YOU KNOW IF WE NEED TO UPDATE OUR TEXTBOOKS, I THINK WE'VE CAN ALSO DO THAT, UM KIND OF LIKE MY IDEA OR TAKE ON IT. I DON'T THINK IT NECESSARILY NEEDS TO BE LIKE A CURRICULUM THAT WE NEED TO BE TAUGHT. UM AND I THINK YOU KNOWA ABOUT THINGS. AND UM, AGAIN, WE GO AROUND SCHOOL, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN THROUGH. SO WE DON'T WANT TO AGAIN BE LIKE, OH, YOU'RE LIKE SINCE YOU'RE WHITE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE THIS AND THAT OR YOU KNOW ANY OTHER WAY LIKE. YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO MAKE THOSE ASSUMPTIONS EITHER. AND I JUST I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS REALLY. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION OF WHAT'S THE RIGHT WAY OF TEACHING US. YES. AND JUST ON. I MEAN FOR ME. I'M JUST READY TO VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THREE MONTHS AND IF THERE'S BEEN ANY QUESTIONS, AND LIKE WE'VE ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, UM. WE'VE HAD THREE MONTHS TO LOOK OVER IT.

AND IF WE'VE HAD QUESTIONS, OR IF WE'VE HAD ANYTHING WE COULD HAVE BEEN HAVE BROUGHT IT UP. SO I THINK WE SHOULD DISAPPROVE LIKE APPROVE THIS AND THEN, LIKE MARILYN WAS SAYING, WE CAN READ IT AND LOOK OVER THE WHOLE THING AT THE NEXT MEETING. UM. BUT I THINK WE JUST I THINK WE NEED TO DO I THINK THIS IS THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO. I THINK IT'S FAIR. AND I THINK, UM. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S FAIR TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND ALL OF OUR TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT. I DON'T THINK IT'S UM. IT'S ASKING OF ANYTHING THAT'S UNREASONABLE . I DON'T THINK WE'RE TRYING TO NOT TEACH HISTORY. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO LEAVE STUFF OUT. UM IT'S JUST BASICALLY SAYING, PLEASE TEACH THE HISTORY AND. YOU KNOW, UNITE OUR STUDENTS DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD, US PIT THE STUDENTS AGAINST EACH OTHER. I LIKE THAT STATEMENT. I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT TYPE OF STATEMENT AND FRAME IT AND THAT POSITIVE WAY WE BOTH HAVE ALL OF US. IF WE LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT YOU MEAN WE ALL HAVE A VERSION THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND SO WORKING THROUGH THAT TO AGREE ON SOMETHING IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING UNITED

[03:25:03]

AND SO I WOULD. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT TONIGHT WE HAVE THIS BE PLACED IN TO THIS. AND WE MOVE FORWARD AND THEN. WE SEE THE FINAL DRAFT OR THE NEXT DRAFT. COME THROUGH THAT, AND THEN WE JUST KIND OF FINALIZE IT NEXT MONTH BECAUSE WE CAN KICK THIS CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR THE NEXT YEAR. WE COULD DO IT FOR TWO YEARS IF WE WANT TO, AND WE JUST NEED TO WE JUST NEED TO GET IT DONE AND I THINK. WE'RE ALL KIND OF ON THE SAME PAGE, BUT SO MAYBE LIKE. IF WE SEE THIS NEXT MONTH, IF IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IF THE UNITY OR SOMETHING WE WANT TO ADD A LINE, WE CAN ALWAYS ADD A LINE TO IT. BUT AT LEAST WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. LIKE AS OF RIGHT NOW. THE SUGGESTION IS WE'RE ALL KIND OF AGREEING WITH THIS, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. I SAY WE VOTE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT. THE PROPOSED NEW PARAGRAPH AFTER 13 THE BEAT ALSO RESOLVED. WE PUT ALL OF THIS IN UNDER THE DEFINITION, AND THEN WE GO FOR THE FINAL READING NEXT ONE. DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON THAT? YEAH, YES. YEAH, I'M GOOD WITH IT. BUT I ALSO THINK, UM. AS BOARD MEMBERS. WE SHOULD MAKE A COMMITMENT TO SUBMIT ANY CHANGES AND THINGS AT LEAST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING SO THAT WE HAVE. PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND PREPARE. YOU KNOW, DR ASSESSOR, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TIME FOR A LONGER STUDY SESSION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO THIS MID MEETING. I WOULD SUGGEST STUDY SESSION BUT NOT PRIOR TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, BUT WE'LL FIND ANOTHER AFTERNOON OR YOU KNOW WE COULD COME TOGETHER AND DO THAT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OKAY? SO OUR CONSENSUS, UM, THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING OR WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING NOW IS TO ADD THE LAST TWO SECTIONS IN. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT? ALTHOUGH CORRECT. THE PROPOSED NEW PARAGRAPH AFTER 13 AND THE PROPOSED DEFINITION, THOSE BULLET POINTS OKAY, AND ALL THE LITTLE BULLETS UNDERNEATH THEM. SO WE'LL PLAN

[03:30:02]

OKAY? THAT CONCLUDES THAT PORTION. AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO BOARD DISCUSSION AND DOCTORAL

[BOARD DISCUSSION]

[03:35:03]

WE'VE ENSURED THAT SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS BEING A QUESTION IT IS. THESE MAPS DO COMPLY, SO WE'RE GOOD. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO MR GOMEZ, WHO'S GOING TO GO THROUGH YOUR CENSUS DATA FOR YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO MY FIRST SLIDE I HAVE UP IS JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE DISTRICT. AND THE TOTAL POPULATION. THE CENSUS POPULATION 2020 CENSUS POPULATION. I HAVE A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTED POINTS THERE WITHIN THE DISTRICT. THERE ARE 1426 TOTAL CENSUS BLOCKS. WITHIN THOSE CENSUS BLOCK IT MAKES IT MAKES UP A TOTAL POPULATION OF 168,111. SO THAT GIVES US A TARGET TO AIM FOR RIGHT. EACH TRUSTEE AREA MUST BE EQUALLY BALANCED WITH THE VARIATION OF ABOUT 10% SO OUR TARGET NUMBER OR GOAL WOULD BE 33,000. 620 TO PURCHASE THE AREA. LOOKING A LITTLE FURTHER AND OVERLAYING NOW OUR OUR TRUSTY AREAS WITH THE NEW CENSUS DATA WE SEE NOW THAT. THERE'S TWO AREAS THAT HAVE CHANGED QUITE A BIT. TRUSTEE AREA ONE IN TRUSTY AREA, TOO. AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO TRUSTEE AREAS NOW PUTS OUR VARIANTS AT ABOUT 14.5% 6. LET ME LOOK AT THIS LITTLE CLOSER. AND SO THAT'S PUTTING US AGAIN. 4.5% OVER. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE HAVE TO ADJUST OUR BOUNDARIES TO BRING US BACK INTO COMPLIANCE. AGAIN AS LITTLE CHANGE AS POSSIBLE JUST TO GET US BACK IN TO START TO CONVERSATION, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN OUR FIRST COUPLE OF SCENARIOS, BUT TO DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THAT DATA OR INTO THE CURRENT CENSUS POPULATION, THAT'S MY NEXT SLIDE. A CLOSER LOOK. TRUSTEE AREAS ONE TO TRUST AREA ONE IS NOW 8. OVER THAT TARGET NUMBER. TRUSTEE AREA TWO IS 6.6% UNDER THE TARGET NUMBER. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE MAKES US ARE 14 ROUGHLY 14.5% THERE, SO THAT'S ABOUT 4.5% OVER OUR TARGET NUMBER OR OUR TARGET GOAL. SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? AND WHAT AREAS CAN WE CHANGE OR WHAT AREAS CAN WE SHIFT AND ADJUST TO BRING US BRING US BACK INTO BALANCE? MY FIRST SCENARIO I HAVE HERE IS A SMALL TRUSTEE OR TOO SMALL CENSUS BLOCKS. INTERESTING AREA , ONE THAT NOW SHIFTS FROM THE BLUE AREA TO THE PINK AREA. SO I HAVE A ZOOMED IN VERSION ON MY SECOND SLIDE. THAT SHOWS A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON WHERE THAT POPULATE OR WHERE THOSE CENSUS BLOCKS HAVE SHIFT HAVE SHIFTED.

SO THOSE TWO BLOCKS AGAIN NOW ARE PART OF PINK OR TRACY AREA, TOO. SO TRUST THE AREA ONE LOST A FEW BLOCKS THERE AND TRUSTEE AREA TO GAIN SO THAT NOW SHIFTS OUR POPULATION NUMBERS A BIT. TO BRING IN US AT TRUSTEE AREA ONE TO ABOUT 5.5. AND TRUST THE AREA TO AT ABOUT 4. AGAIN IN TOTAL.

THAT NOW BRINGS US UNDERNEATH THAT 10% VARIANCE THAT WE WERE GOING FOR. AND THEN WE HAVE HOW THE CITY THE CITY THAT DATA OR THE CITY CITIZEN ABILITY AGE POPULATION IS DISPERSED WITHIN THE SAME TRUSTEE AREA OR WITHIN THE SAME SCENARIO. ONE OR SCENARIO EIGHT. THAT'S OUR FIRST

[03:40:05]

I'M AGAIN THE BORDER AGAIN OF TRUSTEE AREA ONE IN TRUSTY AREA , TOO, AND THAT NOW BRINGS US TO OUR TOTAL POPULATION TABLE FOR THAT, WITH TRUSTY AREA ONE NOW HAVING ABOUT 5.3% OVER. AND TRUSTEE AREA TO ABOUT 3.8% UNDER AGAIN STILL WITHIN OUR 10% VARIANTS THAT WERE ALLOWED. AND AGAIN HOW THE CITIZEN VOTING AGE POPULATION. THE CPAP DATA AGAIN IS DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THAT SCENARIO. AND THOSE THAT WRAPS UP OUR TWO SCENARIOS ARE TWO DRAFT SCENARIOS THAT WE PRESENTED TODAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M GOING TO PASS IT OFF TO MR ROBBINS. IF HE HAS ANY MORE FEEDBACK, IF NOT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. FROM THE BORDER PUBLIC. THANKS TO JUST REALLY QUICK, THE CITIZENS VOTING AGE POPULATION, AH FIGURE THAT HE WAS REFERENCING. IF YOU LOOK AT TRUSTEE AREA TO THERE IS THE HIGHEST. PERCENTAGE OF HISPANIC LATINO CITIZENS VOTING AGE POPULATION IN TRUSTY AREA, TOO. UM AND WE LOOK AT THAT FOR MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE STILL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT. SO WHEN THE MAPS WERE DRAWN A FEW YEARS AGO , TRUSTEE AREA TOO HAD THAT HIGHEST CITIZENS VOTING AGE POPULATION FIGURE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY ADJUSTMENTS WE MAKE DON'T. DILUTE THAT DON'T DISRUPT IT IN A WAY THAT TAKES AWAY THAT MAJORITY. UM BECAUSE THAT'S A CONCEPT CALLED CRACKING , WHICH IS UNLAWFUL UNDER THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT. SO AGAIN, AS I STATED BEFORE WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE, SO JUST. WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR THOSE TRUSTEES THAT WEREN'T ON THE BOARD WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF BACK A FEW YEARS AGO, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT'S THE NUMBER WE LOOK AT FOR VOTING RIGHTS ACT COMPLIANCE UNDER THE FEDERAL LAW. SO WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. UM. LIKE YOU SAW THAT THE MOVEMENT WAS REALLY MINOR. UM. AND ONE KIND OF INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE PRESENTATION YOU SEE IS A CENSUS BLOCKS ARE NOT SQUARE ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE.

VARIED IN SHAPE AND A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS THAT THE SMALLER THE SENTENCE BLOCK IT'S LIKELY. IN A MORE DENSELY POPULATED AREA, WHEREAS A LARGER CENSUS BLOCK IF YOU SAW THE HEAT MAP, WHICH IS D MAP THAT HE SHOWED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION. YOU PROBABLY SAW UM. SMALLER POPULATION, CENSUS BLOCK OR SMALLER CENSUS BLOCKS CLOSER TO THE 91 FREEWAY. AND THEN AS YOU GET UP INTO THE HILLS, THE CENSUS BLOCKS GROW, AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU YOUR POPULATION SPREADS OUT AND IN THE CENSUS BLOCKS TEND TO DO THAT AS WELL. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE MAPS MORE CLOSELY, YOU'LL KIND OF NOTICE THAT ANOMALY. BUT A LARGE BLOCK DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN A LOT OF PEOPLE. UM SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. SO SORRY. AH, IT'S LATE. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. THE QUESTION I HAD WAS, UM. IN REALIGNING THESE AND BRINGING THE FIGURES SUCH AS TO BRING DOWN THAT VARIANCE. UM. IN EACH OF THE AREAS. TRUSTEE AREA ONE AND TWO ANTICIPATED POPULATION CHANGES DUE TO CHANGES OF. INFILL OR CHANGING CERTAIN AREAS THAT MAYBE WE'RE SINGLE RESIDENCES NOW BECOME APARTMENTS. IS THERE ANY PROJECTION BECAUSE THESE NUMBERS STILL KEEP THE VARIANCE AT? UM 99? LOOKING AT MY NUMBERS HERE. UM THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR APART, BUT BE ACTUALLY IS JUST A LITTLE LESS ON THE IT'S A SMALLER NUMBER ON THE VARIOUS. YEAH, I THINK I THINK ONE WAS ABOUT 959.5 AND. SCENARIO TWO WAS PROBABLY AT 99.3. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW. UM I THINK THAT'S RIGHT. SO WITH RESPECT TO A FUTURE GROWTH, UM YOU KNOW, MR GIORDANO WOULD MAYBE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THAT BECAUSE OF.

YOU KNOW HOW DEVELOPERS IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS WORK TOGETHER FOR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS? UM AND THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING YOU COULD FACTOR IN. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, ONE OF MY SCHOOL DISTRICTS IS DOING THIS RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT AN AREA. ON THE NORTHEASTERN SIDE OF THEIR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES THAT IS WIDE OPEN. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA. AND SO THEY'RE WONDERING, CAN THEY UNDER POPULATE THAT A LITTLE BIT? IN ORDER. TO ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE GROWTH WITHIN THE NEXT 10 YEARS , AND YOU CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT

[03:45:03]

AND ITS MAP IS THE ONE THAT WINS THE DAY THEN. BUT IF YOU KNOW IF THE COMMUNITY PROVIDES FEEDBACK AND. WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. WE DO HAVE TIME TO DO THAT, IF NECESSARY, SO

[03:50:01]

PROMPTLY WE NO LONGER ISN'T THERE A CHANGE IN THE LAW. WE NO LONGER HAVE TO HAVE IT EVEN LOOKED AT BY THE COUNTY COMMITTEE. UNDER THIS PROCESS, THE COUNTY COMMITTEES REVIEW IS NOT NECESSARY. IF YOU WERE TO DO A TOTAL RECONFIGURATION, THE 5019.5 THE ED CODE SECTION THAT GOVERNS US USES TWO TERMS REBALANCING AND RECONFIGURATION WERE ALLOWED TO REBALANCE. UNDER THIS PROCESS, BUT IF WE WANT TO MAKE MORE DRAMATIC CHANGES THAT, WHICH IS KIND OF A SUBJECTIVE THING. UM. THEN WE WOULD NEED TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY COMMITTEE AND ASKED FOR THEIR APPROVAL ON WHICH TAKES MORE TIME. SO THIS IS GOOD. THANK. AND IF I COULD ALSO ADD, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ADD THIS TO THE WEBSITE TOMORROW WE'LL HAVE A GOOGLE FORM TO SOLICIT ANY FEEDBACK FROM OUR COMMUNITY. ANY FEEDBACK AND THEN PRESENT THAT THE BOARD AHEAD OF THE JANUARY MEETING. AND THEN ALSO PROVIDE FOR A HEARING SO THAT ANYWAY, HE WANTED TO MAKE COMMENT ON THE NEXT JANUARY MEETING. IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. AND IN ADDITION TO POSTING ON THE WEBSITE, WILL THAT GO OUT IN A, UM, A BLAST TO ALL OF OUR FAMILIES? YES, WE'LL SEND OUT AN EMAIL NOTIFYING OUR FAMILIES THAT IT'S ON THE WEBSITE. OH, AND HOPEFULLY IN ANY TRANSMITTAL MAKE IT CLEAR THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHERE THEY ATTEND SCHOOL THAT BECAME AN ISSUE AT OUR MEETING LAST WEEK, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THERE. THEY WERE GOING TO BE SENT TO DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. NO YOUTH, CREATING CHAOS WHEN THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THERE. IT'S A GREAT 0.2 THINGS. IT'S ATTENDANCE, BOUNDARIES AND TRANSPORTATION ROUTES DOESN'T CHANGE EITHER.

ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS. RIGHT? ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. SO THAT WAS ONLY A DISCUSSION. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION TO TAKE ON THAT. THANK YOU, MR ROBBINS AND ARGUMENTS.

MR GOMEZ. THEN THAT BRINGS US TO OUR TRUSTY REQUEST. COVID 19 VACCINATIONS AND DR ASSESSOR YES . SO THIS WAS PLACED ON THE AGENDA PER TRUSTEE YOUNGBLOOD'S REQUEST AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING, SO. PROBLEM MYSTERY. I'M GLAD I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR ALSO, SIR, UM. WITH THE BOARD'S PERMISSION. THE COMMUNITY HAS, UH. DEFINITELY SENTELLE ENOUGH INFORMATION AND REQUEST TO LOOK INTO THESE VACCINE MANDATES AS WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF DISTRICTS. ARE PUTTING TOGETHER RESOLUTIONS. THAT WILL, UM. WILL SHOW THE GOVERNOR ELECTED OFFICIALS AS WELL AS CD PH, THAT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PARENTAL CHOICE. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP SPEARHEAD. A RESOLUTION FOR THAT FOR THE VACCINE MANDATES AS WELL AS MASK MANDATES FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH THE HELP OF DOCTOR L SAUCER. I'D LIKE TO PUT PUT THIS RESOLUTION TOGETHER. IN ORDER TO PRESENT IT AT OUR NEXT MEETING IN JANUARY. I AGREE. I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A RESOLUTION IN WRITING, BUT I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO SURVEY ARE. OUR CONSTITUENTS. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE HARD FACT FIGURES. BECAUSEE OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE OF THESE MANDATES. THEN WE NEED TO KNOW THOSE NUMBERS BECAUSE THAT MAKES OUR. YEAH IT INCLUDES OUR STORY . SO IT SHOWS LIKE HOW IT IF IT'S GOING TO AFFECT OUR DISTRICT. I MEAN, YOU LOOK AT IT ALREADY IN THE LAST SINCE COVID.

WE'VE LOST 1600 STUDENTS. AND YOU KNOW YOU FACTOR THAT HOW MANY TEACHERS DID THAT BASICALLY LOSE? AND SO I'VE SEEN NUMBERS AND ALL SORTS OF, UM, YOU KNOW? GUESSES OF HOW MANY MORE STUDENTS WOULD LEAVE THE DISTRICT. I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE HARD FIGURES, AND I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD PULL OUR STAFF UM. AND I KNOW HOW MANY WE'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS, NOT TONIGHT. BUT IN THE MEETING BEFORE THAT SAID, YOU KNOW IF. VACCINE BECOMES MANDATE , YOU KNOW, MANDATORY FOR EMPLOYMENT THERE, THEY'RE GONE, AND I THINK WE DID. I JUST THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH AND SO THAT WE CAN BUILD UP. UM A GOOD. YEAH

[03:55:04]

UM. IT'S GETTING TIRED. SO SORRY . I ACTUALLY SLEPT LAST NIGHT. SO YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE NOT GETTING TOTAL SLUR. UM. SO I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO REALLY COORDINATE WITH THEM ANDE CAN BE CLEAR ABOUT HOW THIS IS REALLY GOING TO AFFECT OUR DISTRICT. AND UM. SO YOU KNOW POSSIBLE OTHER THINGS IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, PRODUCE A FACT SHEET. UM I HEAR WE'RE GETTING SIGNATURES TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, BUT MAKE, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE WE HAVE YOU KNOW THESE HARD NUMBERS AND MAYBE GATHERS SIGNATURES TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE CAN ALSO ASK FOR SUPPORT LETTERS FROM OTHER LOCAL OFFICIALS IN OUR AREA THAT SERVE US. AND I KIND OF JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE APPROACHED THIS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE A MULTI LAYER STRATEGY. AND BECAUSE ADVOCACY IS A LONG GAME, AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WHATEVER ACTION WE TAKE. THAT WE KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A CONTINUING. KIND OF DISCUSSION AND APPROACH SO THAT WE DON'T GET INTO THAT.

EXCITING BOARD LAW POLICY WHERE WE CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT SOMETHING EVERY SIX MONTHS. YOU KNOW, SO THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND THEN WE CAN'T DISCUSS IT FOR SIX MONTHS.

I WANT. I WANT WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO DO. AND THESE ARE JUST SUGGESTIONS. YOU KNOW THAT. YOU KNOW? WE HAVE TIME TO ADVOCATE. AND WE HAVE TIME TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE AND, UM, SPEAK OUT FOR OUR PARENTS ON PARENTAL CHOICE. MHM I AGREE. AND WE DID HERE TOO. I THINK IF YOU ARE CONCERNED, UM IN JANUARY OF THIS OF NEXT YEAR THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, WHICH IS ONLY WHAT A FEW WEEKS AWAY. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO TRY TO PUSH A LOT OF THIS THROUGH THE LEGISLATION, SO IT'S TIME TO LIKE, GET ON THE PHONE. AND YOU KNOW, COME OUT AGAINST THIS STUFF, BUT I AGREE WITH

[04:00:05]

IT IS AFTER 11 WELL AFTER 11. I THINK WE HAVE A POLICY WHERE WE NEED TO. WE WISH TO CONTINUE AND MISS. STAY WITH THAT IS IT WAS AFTER 10 30. THE BOARD NEEDS TO WHETHER HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR CONSENT, BUT, UM I JUST WANT. SUCH A LITTLE CLARITY BACK ON THAT THEIR CONSENSUS ON THE BOARD TO BRING. DRAFT RESOLUTION AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AT THE JANUARY BOARD MEETING, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE DATA BACK. WE HAVE TO. WE'RE GOING TO ADMINISTER A SURVEY. WE MADE WITHOUT HOLIDAYS. WE MAY NOT HAVE ALL OF THE DATA BACK AND READY TO PRESENT IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION BY JANUARY, 11E WILL OF THE BOARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THE RESOLUTION? SO WE GET ON? BECAUSE IF IT IS GOING TO GO TO THE LEGISLATURE, POSSIBLY IN JANUARY THAT AT LEAST WE'RE ON RECORD AS A BOARD SAYING THAT WE WANT PARENTAL CHOICE FOR VACCINE AND MASKS AND THEN. BE ABLE TO, LIKE HAVE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION GOING AS WELL THAT WE'RE SENDING IN BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GO ON RECORD WITH ALL THE OTHER DISTRICTS KIND OF A BIGGER VOICE. WE JUST NEED DIRECTION FROM CONSENSUS FROM THE BOARD. YEAH, I WOULD SUGGEST THE SAME THING. I THINK IF WE CAN GET AH, ROUGH DRAFT EVEN OF THIS TOGETHER. ST YES, THE FIRST READ. THAT WOULD BE GOOD AND WE CAN GET IT ON RECORD , THEN I THINK IT BE VERY APPROPRIATE. YEAH I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD REALLY SHOULD BE SENDING A SURVEY THIS WEEK. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO GET A GOOD RESPONSE. AND I THINK IT SHOULD WAIT TILL THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. BUT DO YOU THINK WE COULD HAVE THE DATA BACK BEFORE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING ON JANUARY? 11TH NO, NOT IF WE DON'T SEND IT OUT UNTIL JANUARY, THE WEEK OF JANUARY, 3RD. WHAT DATE IS OUR MEETING IN FEBRUARY. IT'S OUR RIGHT HERE JANUARY MEETING THAT WOULD GIVE US SIX DAYS BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING TO SEND OUT A SURVEY AND IN THIS PILE. I REALLY I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THE, UM, SURVEY BACK IN THE DAY TO, UM I AM FOR A PARENT CHOICE AND FOR VACCINES. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN THE HOSPITAL AND. UM AND ALMOST DIED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF VACCINES. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. I WAS GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST. AT LEAST WHAT WE EXPECT. 23. THAT WILL HAVE, UM. MEDICAL AND RELIGIOUS AND PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW VACCINE WITH NOT A LOT OF HISTORICAL DATA ON IT. UM. BECAUSE WE HAVE IT AS A COVID 19 VACCINATION REQUEST. UM DO WE NEED TO LEAVE IT AT THAT? I'M OF THE. BELIEF THAT YOU KNOW WE DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN FOR SAFETY, AND IF WE NEED TO DO MASKING AT TIMES AND THEN I DON'T WANT TO ELIMINATE THAT. BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THE VACCINES ARE DEFINITELY APPARENT CHOICE.

BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH MASK, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT ON AN AGENDA BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. SO THIS RESOLUTION WOULD BE SPECIFIC TO THE VACCINATION. CHOICE AND WE'RE CALLING IT A RESOLUTION. A RESOLUTION. WE CAN JUST APPROVE IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH 1ST 2ND READS LIKE WE LIKE IT LIKE WE SEE IT'S APPROVE IT LONG AS WE HAVE CONSENSUS, IT'S UP TO THE CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD, AND THAT'S HOW I THINK WE SHOULD PLAY IT IF WE CAN JUST TO GET IT THERE AND THEN ANYTHING, SUPPLEMENTAL. LET'S JUST KEEP IT GOING. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS PARENTAL CHOICE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TELLING NEWSOME RIGHT PARENTAL CHOICE AND THAT'S WHAT THE RESOLUTION WOULD BE. AND THEN FORWARD, SO. SO DOES THAT MEAN IT'S A GO? I MEAN, GO THUMBS UP SORT OF THING. OKAY, OKAY. OKAY? OKAY, GREAT, BUT TENSE. YOUR CALL BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, SANDERSON. IS IF WE SEND THE REST OF THE SURVEY OUT THE WEEK OF JANUARY 3RD IT WON'T BE. THE RESULTS WON'T BE DOWN FOR JANUARY 11TH. IT'LL TAKE TIME FOR THEIR FAMILIES TO GET THAT DATA BACK TO US. WE COULD HAVE CERTAINLY HAVE DATA FOR YOU AT THE FEBRUARY MEETING. OKAY? OKAY SO THAT MOVES US NOW TO ARKANSAS ENCOUNTER. WHAT WE DO NEED TO DO, THOUGH, IS AGREED TO CONTINUE MEETING SINCE WE'RE PAST THE 10 30, WE'RE ALMOST 11 30. THEM. SO CONSENSUS TO KEEP GOING. I WILL. WOULD YOU LIKE

BUT I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER TYPE OF VALUATION TOOL TO GO TO IN I THINK. I THINK I'D BE WILLING TO GIVE THIS THIS ONE A YEAR LIKE. SOME WISE PERSON TOLD ME, UH, IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT THE DATA WOULD BE LIKE. AND THEN THAT WAY, I COULD TOTALLY DISMISS IT. UH, BUT AS RIGHT NOW , I THINK I'M OKAY WITH.

SINCE HE PULLED IT. I JUST WANTED TO ALSO MENTION A LOT OF TEACHERS AND A LOT OF PARENTS.

THEY WOULD LIKE SOME TYPE OF ASSESSMENT FROM THE TEACHERS AND NOT JUST FROM COMPUTER USE. SO IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN UTILIZE I READY, BUT WE COULD ALSO UTILIZE MORE TEACHER ASSESSMENTS AS WELL. IN THE CLASSROOM. AND SO PARENTS DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY'RE. KID IS ONLY BEING BEING ASSESSED ONLINE THAT THERE IS SOME LIKE FACE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME VALUE TO THAT IF WE CAN TRY TO INCORPORATE THAT.

ALSO TWO MORE YOU KNOW, USING I READY MORE AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL AND NOT AS A. YOU KNOW A PROGRAM LIKE HOMEWORK, YOU KNOW, TO GIVE HOURS OF HOMEWORK IN A TEACHING PLATFORM, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. I THINK PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALLY AFTER HEARING THE COMMENTS TODAY FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD BE MUCH NEEDED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE PEOPLE DEFINITELY HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT I READY AND SO GIVING OUR TEACHERS THAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE THE PROGRAMS. THE BEST WAY TO MAKE IT MORE ENGAGING AND NOT SO BURDENSOME.
