HERE'S SOME AWESOME BOOKS ABOUT STRONG WOMEN OR STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS. THAT I HAVE AT THE YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY. RADIUM GIRLS BY KATE MORE. GUESS THAT'S IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. AND AMY S. HI. MY NAME IS AMY. UM I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF ADDRESS
[00:35:05]
SOME OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE'VE NOTICED IN THE ESPECIALLY IN HIGH SCHOOLS. LATELY.EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED. MENTAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL HEALTH OR SEEN IT COME OUT. UM PHYSICALLY. ELDORADO HAD SEVEN FIGHTS IN ONE DAY LAST MONTH. UM MY SONS WITNESSED ONE.
THEY SAID IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES FOR ANYBODY TO GET THERE. UM AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THE RESOURCE OFFICER WASN'T ALLOWED TO, LIKE TOUCH THE KIDS, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS, BUT WE NEED TO BE VERY AWARE OF TAKING CARE OF OUR KIDS AND KEEPING THEM SAFE ON CAMPUS. UM THERE WAS THE SCHOOL SHOOTING THREAT AT YOUR BELINDA, WHICH WAS CENTERED AROUND A BOY WHO HAD MASTURBATED IN THE FRONT OF CLASS. THAT'S AN ISSUE. UM AND THEN YOU HAVE A BOY AT ESPERANZA , WHO IS CLAIMING TO BE GAY AND GOING INTO THE GIRLS' BATHROOM AND LOCKER ROOM AND I SEE A BIG RED FLAG THERE IF THERE IS REALLY AN ISSUE, UM YOU KNOW, AND HE'S TRANSITIONING. THERE SHOULD BE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU AND NEXT DOOR OF ARGUS. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? COULD YOU REPEAT THE NAME AGAIN? I SURE AM SORRY. DARK. DORA VARGAS. THANK YOU. HI MY NAME IS DORA. TONIGHT I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT BOYS USING THE GIRLS' RESTROOMS AT ESPERANZA. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BATHROOM WHEN THEY MELT, ENTERED WHEN THE MAIL WAS QUESTIONED AS TO WHY HE WAS IN THERE, HE STATED. DON'T WORRY. I'M GAY. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE, THE BOY TOLD GIRLS INSIDE THE RESTROOM. DON'T WORRY, I'M BISEXUAL. TO ME. THIS DOES NOT FIT THE CRITERIA UNDER THIS CALIFORNIA STATE LAW STATING AN INDIVIDUAL CAN ENTER INTO A BATHROOM OF THAT WHICH THEY IDENTIFY AT NO TIME. HAS THE SMELL STATED HE WAS TRANSGENDER OR THAT HE IDENTIFIED AS A FEMALE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE CONTINUED TO BECOME PROBLEMATIC. THIS IS GIVING THIS THIS IS GIVING FREE REIN TO ANY PERSON TO WALK INTO ANY RESTROOM TO SEE ANY RESTROOM THEY SEE FIT THE SOLUTION TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. THE GIRLS DO THE GIRLS. WHO DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE CAN USE THE BATHROOM IN THE OFFICE.
WHY SHOULD MY DAUGHTER NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM IN THE OFFICE? WHY ANY OF THOSE GIRLS SHOULD WE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER THE MILL WHO RAPED TWO GIRLS IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN VIRGINIA? WHERE IS THE SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO IS PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN? STEPHANIE DE. I DO NOT TRUST THE P Y L DO NOT TRUST YOU SAY, DO TELL KIDS SENT HOME FOR HOLES AND MASS CAT LIBRARIANS PROTECTED GLASS THE UNION THEY SEEK TO SATISFY THEY TELL OUR KIDS SHUT UP, COMPLY. THEY WIN THE RACE, CLAIMING PARENT CHOICE, BUT SHE SHOOT DOWN AGENDA ITEMS GIVING US NO VOICE . SHE WAS ON CURBS. THEY IGNORE PARENTS PLEADING TO THEM A BORE . WE BEG FOR THEM TO TELL US WHY THEY IGNORE EMAILS OR SEND A COPY TO REPLY. THEY WANT THE POWER TO TEACH KIDS TO THINK BUT CANNOT REASON WHAT COOLY DID THEY DRINK? THEY HAVE NO SPYING WHEN IT COMES TO A MASK, BUT WANT ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE ARE BACK? TIMES ARE CHANGING. WE NEED HELPERS WHO FIGHT? WE'LL FIND NEW LEADERS TO MAKE IT RIGHT. YOU THINK YOU'RE GOOD? NOT UP FOR REELECTION. MAYBE RECALL IS OUR INTENTION HIRED BY A FORMER BOARD PAY ATTENTION. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. MARCH 12TH YOU TOUT IS THE GLORIOUS DATE, BUT THIS GETS BETTER NOVEMBER EIGHT. CYNTHIA. IS A GREAT FIELD. SORRY. IT'S RICH CRITCHFIELD. I HAVE THREE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ONE WE'VE ALREADY PULLED OUT OF LINDA VISTA ELEMENTARY DUE TO THE HARASSMENT HE FACED BY THE PRINCIPAL LINDA VISTA. UM WE ALSO HAD A OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, CHILD. UM SUBMIT HER DOCTOR'S NOTE EXEMPTING HER FROM WEARING A MASK. WE WERE TOLD THAT YOU MR MAGDA LYNDON ADVISED THE WHILE M S SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND SCHOOL NURSE THAT YOU NEED THAT WE NEEDED TO GIVE THEM SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT OUR DAUGHTERS. MEDICAL CONDITION BEFORE THEY WOULD DECIDE IF HER MASK EXEMPTION WOULD BE GRANTED REQUESTING SPECIFIC DETAILS OF ANYONE'S MEDICAL INFORMATION IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF PH I PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION AND ILLEGAL. WE ARE TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO. SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE HAD TO WEAR A MASK AND WAS FORCED OUTSIDE. THEY DENIED HER IN CLASS INSTRUCTION AGAIN, AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS BEING PUNISHED FOR HER MEDICAL CONDITION, WHICH IS DISCRIMINATORY. WE RELY ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY TO HEAR US AND TO RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS. YOU HAVE FAILED US TOO MANY TIMES. DR CHAO DOCTOR ALICE , FASTER, MARYLIN ANDERSON, CARRIE BUCK AND CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. I WILL YOU GUYS HAVE ALL BEEN LAWFULLY CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS.

[00:40:07]
THE NEXT SIX WILL BE GREAT EU. REAGAN RAW THREE. MARISSA MALLORY. KRISTIN M. BRANDI C AND SHANI MURRAY. GO AHEAD AND MR SANFORD THANK YOU. SO ONE MINUTE ONE WORD. LIBERTY. WHO HERE LOVES LIBERTY. MHM. NONE OF YOU LOVE LABOR. YOU LOVE LIBERTY, RIGHT? EVERYBODY LOVES LIBERTY.STOP TRYING TO TAKE AWAY MY CHILDREN'S LIBERTY. THEIR PARENTS LIBERTY, OUR TEACHERS LIBERTY WITH YOUR BAND. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL MEANS FOR ALL AND THAT IF EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE LIBERTY, NO ONE HAS LIBERTY. THEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORDS OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. NOR THOMAS PAINE, WHO HIS WRITINGS ARE WHAT INSPIRED THEM ALL TO GIVE US THIS GREAT COUNTRY. PLEASE BE SENSIBLE, NOT INSURRECTIONISTS. OKAY. GREAT TO YOU. YOU'RE UP NEXT. A SCIENCE DIFFERENT AT POTENTIALLY OR BELINDA WHAT SHOULD BE A ROUTINE VOTE TO APPROVE A NEW TEXTBOOK IS INSTEAD THAT A TEST OF THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY WILL WE REJECT SCIENCE? BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE WHAT THE SCIENCE TELLS US. BUT DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. HEY CONCERNED PARENTS . CLEARLY THE TRUSTEES HAVEN'T DONE THE READING. SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT. I'M ASKING YOU, PLEASE. GO THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL DEAL FOR ACADEMY AT 4999 CASTELLANA AVENUE IN YOUR BERLIN TO CALIFORNIA AND SEE THE NEW TEXTBOOKS PROPOSED FOR YOURSELF.
TAKE THE TIME. MAKE SURE THERE'S NO INDOCTRINATION IN THERE. HOPE IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK. COURT TO ASK ME TO ASK FOR YOU TO READ THE BOOK. I HEARD YOU LIKE TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, AND THIS ONLY REQUIRES AN EIGHTH GRADE READING LEVEL. AND THEN COME BACK NEXT MONTH AND TELL THE TRUSTEES WHAT YOU THINK THAT IS, IF YOU'RE NOT TOO BUSY YELLING AT PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER. REAGAN RAW THREE. THANK YOU. HI. I'M MY NAME IS REAGAN RAW THREE. AND I'M A PARENT. MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 14 YEARS. LIKE ALL THE PARENTS HERE, I LOVE MY CHILDREN. AND UNDOUBTEDLY, LIKE ALL OF THE ATTENDEES HERE. I LOVE MY COUNTRY. I WANT, JUST LIKE MY CHILDREN. I WANT THEM TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE. ALSO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE THE BEST IT CAN BE. AND IN ORDER TO DO SO WE NEED TO STUDY WHERE IT HAS BEEN, WHERE IT HAS SUCCEEDED AND WHERE IT HAS FAILED. LEARNING ABOUT WHAT THIS COUNTRY HAS DONE WRONG OR WHAT IT COULD DO BETTER DOES NOT IMPOSE THE TRANSGRESSIONS ON THE PAST TO ANYONE, BUT INSTEAD IT ALLOWS US TO CREATE A MORE PERFECT UNION, WHICH IS THE DREAM OF THIS COUNTRY. WE DO NOT BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS, OUR TEACHERS OR OURSELVES AND PROMOTING A MYTHOLOGY OF OUR HISTORY, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE COLLEGE BOARD HAS STATED THAT IT WILL REMOVE AP DESIGNATIONS FROM OUR SCHOOLS IF WE GO FORWARD WITH ANY KIND OF CURRICULUM CHANGES, AS HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED IN RESOLUTION, 21 12, IT'S A FRIVOLOUS WASTE OF THE BOARDS TIME. MARISSA MALLORY. GOOD EVENING. MY HUSBAND AND I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO KIDS IN THE DISTRICT. BUT NEXT YEAR WE ONLY HAVE ONE AND THAT'S A VERY TENTATIVE ONE. I'M VERY HAPPY THAT YOU FEEL SUPPORTED AT P Y EL USD MY DAUGHTER'S 54 PLAN WAS OUTED BY HER I BE ENGLISH TEACHER. SHE CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL THAT DAY AND DROPPED DIABETES. I WAS AT AN EDUCATOR'S CONFERENCE OVER THE WEEKEND, AND GARY BROOKS CAME AND SPOKE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW GARY BROOKS. HE'S A PRINCIPAL FROM THE SOUTH DOES THESE GREAT VIDEOS HE GIVES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS TEACHERS A PACIFIER TO KEEP ON THEIR DESK. AND YOU COULD GO WITH ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT JOKES WITH THAT. THE PURPOSE, HE SAYS BEHIND THAT IS TO REMIND THOSE EDUCATORS HAVE EVERY SINGLE STUDENT SITTING IN THEIR CLASSROOM IS SOMEONE'S BABY FROM YOUR SMALLEST TK STUDENT TO YOUR BIGGEST FOOTBALL PLAYER. THAT CHILD IS SOMEONE'S BABY, AND IT'S ALL OF OUR JOBS TO PROTECT THEM. RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM FROM THESE MANDATES FOR VACCINATIONS FOR MASKING ETCETERA SO THAT THESE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL. THEY FEEL SAFE AND THEY'RE THERE TO LEARN AND SUPPORT IT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. THANK YOU. KRISTIN M. SO BODY LANGUAGE MEANS A LOT WHEN KAREN IS UP HERE SPEAKING, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS LOOKING RIGHT AT HER. YOU GUYS DON'T LISTEN TO ANY OF US UP HERE. YOU DON'T LOOK AT US. YOU SIT THERE AND PRETEND THAT YOU'RE WRITING WHEN KAREN'S
[00:45:03]
TALKING YOU'RE SITTING THERE. VERY ATTENTIVE. PERSONAL STORIES ARE BEING TOLD COUPLE OF YOU ARE ON THE BOARD FOR SELF SERVING REASONS IF THE LIGHTS ARE LDA HAVEN'T BEEN APPROVED IN SO MANY YEARS WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TIME TO GO WATCH A PRACTICE TO GO SEE A SOCCER GAME CUT SHORT BECAUSE OF THE SUNSET. YOU'RE HERE FOR SELF SERVING PURPOSES. YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR OUR STUDENTS. ALSO WAS IN THERE A MASK RULE WHERE, IF THERE'S A STUDENT IN THE ROOM YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT AS AN ADULT AS A TEACHER. I THOUGHT THAT WOULD GO FOR THE BOARD ALSO. BRANDI C.THREE WEEKS AGO, OUR SON WAS SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL WITH A RUNNY NOSE. ALL I'M GOING TO SAY IS SEASONAL ALLERGIES DO STILL EXIST, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GO FROM 90 DEGREES TO 60 DEGREES AND HAVE WIND. HE WAS HE MISSED TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THIS, WITH NO OPTION FOR ONLINE LEARNING AND NO WORK SENT HOME. THESE ARE NOT COVID SYMPTOMS. STOP DENYING HER KIDS AND EDUCATION. YOU'RE MAKING THEM HATE SCHOOL. MRS FREEMAN. IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEK SINCE OUR LAST INTERACTION. I DID SEND YOU AN EMAIL. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE YOU ACTUALLY RESPONDED TO IT. AS I SAID, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE YOU A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN A ROOM WITH 100, STRANGERS MASSLESS. BEFORE THE 28TH I MIGHT ADD. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT FROM YOUR RESPONSE WAS THAT YOU MADE A COMMENT THAT YOU CHOSE TO WEAR A MASK DURING THE OUTDOOR MEETING ON THE SECOND BECAUSE YOU WERE UNSURE OF YOUR FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS VACCINATION STATUS. WERE YOU SURE OF ALL OF THE VACCINATION STATUS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM THE OTHER DAY INCLUDE YOUR COMMENTS. ME. ONE MINUTE PLATE. JUST ONE SECOND. OUR NEXT SIX SPEAKERS WILL BE PATRICIA HANZO. KRISTIN D SHERRY, PAL, ICKY RYAN HEATH.
DONNA POTTER AND ADRIANA Q. OKAY, GO AHEAD. MY NAME IS SHANNON MURRAY AND MY SON IS A FRESHMAN REGISTERING FOR HIS FIRST AP COURSE FOR MONTHS, I'VE BEEN SPEAKING OUT AGAINST CENSORING TEACHERS AND STUDENTS , BUT NOW IT'S THE COLLEGE BOARD'S SAYING IT OPPOSES CENSORSHIP. AND CAN REMOVE THE AP DESIGNATION FROM A COURSE IF CERTAIN TOPICS ARE BANNED. IF ANY OF THE 29 AP COURSES OFFERED IN THIS DISTRICT LOSE THIS DESIGNATION, IT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT MANY OF OUR STUDENTS AND HARM P WALES REPUTATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION. I'M NOT AN EXPERT. BUT PLEASE RESPECT THE ADVICE OF DISTINGUISHED FACULTY WHO STUDIES CRT OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION AND ITS 11,000 MEMBERS. OF PEN AMERICA AND ITS 7000 MEMBERS AND OF THE COLLEGE BOARD, REPRESENTING 6000 OF THE WORLD'S LEADING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. THEY ALL ASK THAT YOU TRUST OUR TEACHERS AND SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS BY VOTING AGAINST CENSORSHIP. THANK YOU. PATRICIA, HANDS UP. WITH. SO I'M A PARENT HERE AT THE DISTRICT AND WE STRONGLY URGED THE BOARD TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS SCHOOL BOARD IN PARTICULAR. PLEASE DO NOT WORK TOWARDS DEFUNDING IT OR LOSING STUDENTS.
IN THE FEBRUARY MINUTES. TRUSTEE BLADES BOARD REPORT STATEMENT. PROMOTES A WEEK CHARTER SCHOOL CALLED OZZIE CLASSICAL ACADEMY. AND ITS CO FOUNDER, JEFF BARKEY , THE HUSBAND OF THE COUNTY BOARD MEMBER, MARY BARKEY, AND A PROMOTER OF STOP THE STEAL EFFORTS. ITS FRONTLINE DOCTOR WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES, PROPAGANDA AND SPIN. I OBJECT TO THIS CHARTER BEING ADMITTED INTO THIS REGION BECAUSE IT WILL REDUCE OUR DISTRICTS ENROLLMENT NUMBERS. BRINGING DOWN NUMBERS FOR THIS DISTRICT. AND MAYBE THAT IS THE TRUE GOAL. THE TRUE GOAL OF THE Q AND ON FOLLOWERS TO DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE OBJECT TO THAT UNDERPERFORMING CHARTER SCHOOL. THANK YOU.
KRISTIN D. LAST WEEK AT TRAVIS RANCH. MY KIDS WERE SENT HOME FOR NOT WEARING A MASK. THE VERY NEXT DAY OUR LIBRARIAN DRESSED UP AS CAT IN THE HAT WITH FULL FACE PAINT. GOD FORBID SHE WEAR A MASK. SHE THEN PARADED AROUND THE SCHOOL TAKING OVER 40 PICTURES INSIDE WITH STUDENTS BECAUSE OF HER. I HAVE HAD TO STOP VOLUNTEERING TO TAKE MY SON'S KINDERGARTEN CLASS TO THE LIBRARY BECAUSE SHE IS ONE OF THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO TERRORIZING THE KIDS ABOUT MASKS. WHEN READING A BOOK TO FIVE YEAR OLDS, SHE CONTINUALLY STOPS AND TELLS THEM TO PULL UP
[00:50:01]
THEIR MASK OVER YOUR NOSE. MAKE IT TIGHTER, AT LEAST 15 TO 20 TIMES WHILE READING A BOOK TO FIVE YEAR OLDS. I JUST COULDN'T GO BACK. I CAN'T WATCH HER. DO THIS TO OUR CHILDREN. COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW PISSED I WAS WHEN I SAW ALL OF HER MASCULINE PHOTOS? THIS IS A PRIVATE EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD A SPECIAL MEETING THAT SEAN AND LEANDER ASKED FOR TWICE. YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LEADERS THAT WE NEED AND YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE MESS OFF OUR KIDS LAST WEEK, INCLUDING YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. SORRY, PAL. ICKY. CALIFORNIA BILL 1266 STATES PUPIL SHALL BE PERMITTED USE FACILITIES, BATHROOMS AND LOCKERS CONSISTENT WITH HIS OR HER GENDER IDENTITY IN 2000 AND 18. MY SON WAS EXPOSED IN A SCHOOL LOCKER TO A FEMALE. AND THE COMMUNITY WAS OUTRAGED. HONESTLY THE CONCERN WAS THAT ANY MAIL COULD BE ABLE TO GO INTO ANY LOCKER ROOM OR BATHROOM THAT THE GIRLS HAD ACCESS TO, AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM. AND PEOPLE MADE FUN OF US. ACTUALLY BACK. THEN, FOUR YEARS AGO, IT WAS OUTRAGEOUS FOR US TO THINK THAT BOYS WOULD ACTUALLY JUST RANDOMLY GOING TO GIRLS' BATHROOM SO FAST FORWARD TO 2022 . HERE WE ARE, BOYS. IT BOYS IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE JUST CASUALLY WALKING INTO THE GIRLS' BATHROOMS. AND AS A RESULT OF THIS COMMON OCCURRENCE, OUR GIRLS ARE RISKING INFECTION BY REFUSING TO URINATE. THEY'RE STOPPING DRINKING LIQUIDS. THEY STAY HOME DURING MENSTRUATION.AND OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET THE RECENT LOUDON COUNTY ASSAULT OF A GIRL IN A BATHROOM. SO FOR FOUR YEARS, THIS DISTRICT HAS DONE NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. AND WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. SO YOU NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. BRIAN HEATH. MY NAME IS RYAN HEATH I'M THE PRESIDENT, CEO OF A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED THE GAVEL PROJECTS, BUT I'M HERE TONIGHT AS AN ATTORNEY AS A FATHER. I DON'T HAVE ANY CLIENTS IN THIS ROOM. BUT I AM HERE TO ASK EACH OF YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER GETTING A SECOND LEGAL OPINION. IT WILL NOT COST YOU NEARLY AS MUCH. AS THE MONEY YOU SPEND ON GALLOWS AND OTHER NONSENSE ACROSS YOUR BUDGET. SERIOUSLY GO SEEK A SECOND LEGAL OPINION. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS ABJECTLY ILLEGAL. I'M ACTUALLY AN AFFILIATE WITH ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS THAT IS SUING YOU RIGHT NOW HE'S HELPING ME OUT AS A NON HE'S A FISCAL SPONSOR FROM MY ORGANIZATION, AND HE ACTUALLY IT MAKES HIM PRETTY BRILLIANT LEGAL ARGUMENTS AND I ASK YOU TO PLEASE JUST GO FIND ONE PERSON PARENTS OUT THERE. IF YOU ARE CURIOUS WHERE YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING THEY'RE LIGHTING THEM ON FIRE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THIS IS ABJECTLY ILLEGAL . THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. IT'S COMPLETELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AND IT CARRIES PERSONAL LIABILITY. YOU ALL ARE ACTUALLY EXPOSING THE TEACHERS TO PERSONAL LIABILITY WHEN THEY ENFORCE YOUR RULES AND YOU NEED TO STOP. IT'S DISGUSTING. AND BY THE WAY, ONE MORE THING I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM UNVACCINATED, PLEASE IN THIS ROOM WITHOUT A MASK. I AM NOT GOING TO GET ARRESTED, AND THAT'S YOUR REMARKS. THANK YOU, MISS BOX. SEE YOU LATER. DONNA POTTER. ALRIGHT SENATE BILL 871, WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING HEARD BEFORE THE SENATE HEALTH AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE, WOULD ADD THE COVID 19 VACCINE TO THE CURRENT SCHOOL SCHEDULE, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NOT PROVEN TO STOP TRANSMISSION INFECTION, SEVERE SYMPTOMS OR EVEN DEATH. IT WOULD ALSO REMOVE BELIEF EXEMPTIONS FOR THIS AND EVERY FUTURE VACCINE ADDED TO THE SCHOOL SCHEDULE. IRONICALLY SENATOR PAN HAS CALLED THIS THE KEEP SCHOOLS OPEN AND SAFE ACT. SCHOOLS ARE OPEN AND THEY ARE SAFE. THE DISTRICT'S COVID-19 DASHBOARD REFLEXES. FACT WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT ABOUT SAFETY 43% OF PARENTS WHO COMPLETED THE DISTRICT SURVEY INDICATED THEY WOULD PULL THEIR CHILD FROM THE DISTRICT. IF THE COVID 19 VACCINE HAS MANDATED WITHOUT BELIEF, EXEMPTIONS. THIS NUMBER SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THANK YOU.
OKAY. NEXT WAS ADRIANA Q. OKAY? SO DID WE HAVE DONNA PARTER, POTTER? OKAY OKAY, SO SHERRY DRAKE, CHRIS CURTIS, MICK. I'M A CATHERINE. CRYSTAL NOBLE. GALA DESMOND. KOURTNEY JOCKS 93, 45 AND GAFFNEY. SO SHERRY DRAKE YOUR FIRST. ARE YOU? SHERRY? YES. I'VE GOT TO CUT IT DOWN.
[00:55:01]
OKAY? I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. MY CHILDREN. MY PARENTS WERE SCHOOL BORN AND RAISED IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. I'VE BEEN COMING HERE. FOR SEVEN MONTHS. I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. BUT IT MEANS A LOT. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? BECAUSE MY PARENTS. AND I GREW UP IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO IT'S VERY MEANINGFUL TO ME. I CARE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR SCHOOLS. IN OUR CITIES. IN OUR STATE. IN OUR COUNTRY. I CARE ABOUT IT A LOT. AND I KNOW YOU ALL DO BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE. AND YOU'RE HERE AFTER SEVEN MONTHS, SO YOU NEED TO GET THEM OUT. WE NEED TO STOP FOOLING AROUND AND GET HIM OUT NOW. THEY'RE NOT LISTENING.WE'VE HEARD IT. I'M SORRY. PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. OKAY. CURTIS? MMA. CATHERINE, YOU'RE NEXT. ON THE CONTRARY, PRESIDENT BUCK I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. IN THE LAST FEW MEETINGS. I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND, BUT I HEAR THAT THERE WAS EFFORTS TO MAKE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION MORE CIVIL AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RULES ARE BEING FOLLOWED. I APPRECIATE THAT GREATLY. UH, I WANT TO USE THE BRIEF TIME THAT I HAVE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE AH PROPOSAL. I BELIEVE IT'S 21 12. I THINK THAT MANY BEFORE. I'VE ALREADY SAID MANY THINGS ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT WILL MEAN FOR THE COLLEGE BOARD IF IT PULLS ITS AP SUPPORT ABOUT THE KIND OF LETTERS AND THINGS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT VERY SPECIFICALLY THE IDEAS OF EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE. EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE ARE NOT THINGS TO FEAR, AND THEY DO NOT LEAD TO FEAR. MY SON WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, BURNED HIS HAND ON OUR STOVE AND WE SHOUTED AT HIM AND TRIED TO GET HIM AWAY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE WE WERE SCARED. NOW HE'S AFRAID TO GO NEAR THE STOVE, AND IT HAS TAKEN A LOT OF TIME FOR US TO TEACH. WHY STONES GET HOT. WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF KNOWLEDGE. WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF EDUCATION, AND THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO USE FEAR TO SUPPRESS IT.
OUR ROCK CRYSTAL NOBLE. NO MY NAME'S CRYSTAL AND I AM HERE TO SPEAK ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND ITS OTHER PRINCIPAL CALLED DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. IT IS AN ACADEMIC THEORY THAT ARGUES THAT AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON RACISM, SLAVERY AND WHITE SUPREMACY AND REMAINS A FUNDAMENTALLY RACIST NATION TO THIS DAY AND BELIEVES THESE FORCES ARE STILL AT THE ROOT OF OUR SOCIETY. CRITICAL RACE THEORISTS BELIEVE THAT OUR INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE CONSTITUTION AND LEGAL SYSTEM, PREACH FREEDOM AND EQUALITY, BUT ARE MERE CAMOUFLAGES FOR NAKED RACIAL DOMINATION. THEY BELIEVE THAT ONLY A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISMANTLING OF OUR SYSTEM AND GOVERNMENT AND ALL ITS INSTITUTIONS WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. CRITICAL RACE, THERE IS ARGUE EXPLICITLY THAT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST AND PERPETUATE SYSTEMS OF WHITE SUPREMACY AND SYSTEMATIC OR SYSTEMIC RACISM AND BELIEVE SOCIETY SHOULD WORK TO ABOLISH THE WHITE RACE. THIS IS A QUOTE FROM NOEL IN NOT EVE. DONNA'S ALIEN. WE BELIEVE THAT SO LONG AS THE WHITE RACE EXISTS OF MOVEMENTS AGAINST WHAT IS CALLED POLICE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS, THEREFORE, AIM TO ABOLISH. CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS, MA'AM. ANY TEACHINGS THAT LEASE CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. GALA DESMOND. THANK YOU. I GREW UP IN THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES IN A SOUTHERN SCHOOL. AND WHAT I LEARNED WHERE WE HAD BLACK BATHROOMS AND WHITE BATHROOMS, BLACK DRINKING FOUNTAINS AND WHITE DRINKING FOUNTAINS. BLACK BOYS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH WHITE GIRLS OR TALK TO THEM. IT WAS TERRIBLE. YOU CAN LAUGH, BUT IT WAS TRUE AND WHAT WE LEARNED WAS HOW TO FEAR ANYBODY WHO WAS DIFFERENT FROM US. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO UNLEARN ALL OF THAT BOGUS INFORMATION. CRITICAL RACE THEORY TEACHES. WHAT WE DID TO YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE IMPRESSIONABLE. AND ALLOWS THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. MY GRANDCHILDREN WENT TO YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL. THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW BAD BLACK PEOPLE HAD IT AND STILL HAVE IT. IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE BAD. IT'S TO SAY THAT RACISM AND PREJUDICE IS BAD. THANK YOU.
KOURTNEY JOCKS. GOOD EVENING. CRITICAL RACE THEORY PROMOTES RACISM AND HATE. IT FOCUSES ON
[01:00:13]
OUR COUNTRY'S DEFEATS RATHER THAN OUR VICTORIES, IMMIGRANTS FROM OPPRESSED COUNTRIES RISKED THEIR LIVES TO COME HERE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE ARE AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES WITH HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION. YOU CAN ACHIEVE SUCCESS NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS. IT IS THE INVISIBLE CHARACTERISTICS THAT MATTER. EVERY PERSON HAS AWESOME TALENTS AND ABILITIES. YOU HAVE TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP YOURS. THAT IS YOUR FIRST JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY. THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN THAT THE INVISIBLE GIFTS AND TALENTS WE ALL HAVE SUPERSEDE ARE VISIBLE ONES. IT IS THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS WITH HUMANS, BUT CRT FOCUSES ON SECONDARY CHARACTERISTICS, WHICH WILL MAKE OUR KIDS SUPERFICIAL AND STEREOTYPE PEOPLE BY OUR SKIN COLOR. WE NEED TO SEE OURSELVES AS ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE. ON OUR BOARD. WE SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH FOLLOW THROUGH FROM THE LIGHTS AT ELDORADO TO THE CRT BAN. WE SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING ANYTHING FINISHED. I IMPLORE YOU TO FINISH THE BAN ON CRT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU AND GAFFNEY. AND GAFFNEY AND THEN UP AFTER AN WILL BE PAM, CHRIS CURTIS TODD FRAZIER. BEEN STUBS. MARIA STUBS AND SCOTT TURNER. AND GAFFNEY AND GO AHEAD. OH THANK YOU.HELLO. I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE INTERESTED IN THE EDUCATION. OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS DISTRICT. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT CRT. CRT HAS BEEN TAUGHT IN LAW SCHOOLS FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS. IT'S NOT NEW, CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT A NEW THEORY . IT'S NOT TAUGHT KATE THROUGH 12. CRITICAL RACE THEORY. DOES NOT TEACH THAT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST. CRITICAL RACE THEORY DOES NOT TEACH THAT WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD BE GUILTY. FOR EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST THAT THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. IT IS IMPORTANT. TO TEACH CHILDREN THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR HISTORY. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL RICH HISTORY. YOU ONLY MAKE CHILDREN MORE CURIOUS ABOUT CRT WHEN YOU BAN IT. THANK YOU. PAM. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS. SO WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS ON THE AGENDA, I WONDERED. WELL WHAT HAS THIS DISTRICT BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS? A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2000 AND TWO SO WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS GOING THROUGH THE A THROUGH G TRACK WHEN YOU'VE HAD 20 PLUS YEARS TO DO THAT, BEFORE 2000 AND TWO, IT WAS CALLED THE A THROUGH F PROGRAM. HOME SCHOOLED STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS GET INTO THE UC SYSTEM. GET INTO THE CAL STATE SYSTEM. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT A THROUGH G. PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO GO TO PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS OR MIDDLE SCHOOLS GET INTO THE UC SYSTEM IN THE CAL STATE SYSTEM, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH A THROUGH G SYSTEM. CALIFORNIA IS NOT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD. IF ANYTHING AT THIS POINT, I WANT MY HIGH SCHOOL AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH A SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OR THE CAL STATE UNIVERSITY BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE WITHIN A CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO PIGEONHOLE MORE KIDS INTO A THROUGH G? COMMUNITY COLLEGES DOWN 10 TO 20. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR REMARKS ARE MAKING DECISIONS, MA'AM, PLEASE WATCH OUT OF THE BOX AND NOT USE A MILLION AND A HALF OF YOUR REMARKS. FOR CONSULTANTS. THANK YOU. CHRIS CURTIS. THANK YOU FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE. WE APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU TO THE PARENTS THAT ARE HERE THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR KIDS. CARRIE I DON'T GIVE A BUCK AND MARILYN MANSON. WE KNOW YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS. THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE SPEAKING FOR THEM. WE ALSO KNOW YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THE PARENTS THINK OR SAY BY YOUR ACTIONS. THERE'S A HUGE WAVE COMING. IT'S A GIANT WAVE OF PISTE OFF PARENTS. WE'RE THE PARENTS ARE GOING TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR KIDS.
POLITICIANS LISTEN TO POLLS. HAVE YOU SEEN THE RECENT POLLING? ALL THE POLLS ARE REFLECTING ONE THING IN THIS UPCOMING ELECTION. CARRIE I DON'T GIVE A BUCK AND MARILYN MANSON ARE THROUGH MAKING DECISIONS FOR OUR KIDS. TODD FRAZIER. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY
[01:05:06]
. I THINK LAST TIME I SPOKE AT THE LAST MEETING, I SAID, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CONSISTENCY . WE DON'T HAVE CONSISTENT, UH, VIBE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I THINK IT WAS WRONG. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE CONSISTENCY AND CONSISTENCY IN HOW YOU'RE PRIORITIZING THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD POLITICS. THEN TEACHERS AND THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF STUDENTS, AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT US AS PARENTS HAVE WITH A LOT OF THIS TALKING ABOUT THE BOYS IN THE BATHROOM. WE HAVE A DAUGHTER, ESPERANZA. SHE'S EXPERIENCED THE BOY IN THE BATHROOM. THAT IS NOT TRANSGENDER, NOT TRANSITIONING. HE JUST SAYS HE'S GAY. THAT'S NOT THE WAY THE RULE IS. I DISAGREE WITH THE RULE. HOWEVER THAT'S THE RULE. UM SOMETHING ELSE THAT I THINK IS INTERESTING IF YOU LOOK AT THE CONSENT CALENDAR, WHICH IT'S LIKE 57 THINGS, THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS IN THERE THAT WERE PRIORITIZING THAT DON'T SEEM TO MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. SO I JUST PULLED UP A COUPLE OF ONE AND WE'RE SPENDING $12,000 AT GOLDEN. TO TEACH KIDS HOW TO DO RECESS. HERE'S A QUOTE FROM THE ACTUAL ITEM PBS TEAM AT GOLDEN FELT THAT BY HAVING PLAYWORKS COME TO REVAMP, ORGANIZED AND IMPROVE OUR RECESS, STUDENTS WOULD HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PLAY GAMES BOTH SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY REMARKS. YOU DON'T PLAY EFFICIENTLY CONCLUDE YOUR REMARKS. BEEN STUBS YOU'RE NEXT. LIVING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY. BEN STUBS APPARENT HERE OF THE P O Y USD FAMILY AND I WANTED TO BRING UM TO ATTENTION, SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED TONIGHT. TWO SENATE BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN, UM, THAT ARE IN THE WORKS. RIGHT NOW THEY'RE BEING HEARED. THERE'S 8 , 71 AND 8 66, AND WHAT THEY BOTH DO IN TANDEM IS SOMETHING PRETTY ALARMING. IT MANDATES THE COVID VACCINE, AND IT DOES SO WITHOUT THE OPTION OF A PARENTAL CONSENT. SO THAT MEANS IN ADDITION, WITH NOT HAVING AN EXEMPTION, LET'S SAY IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE ABOUT IT, YOU WANT TO LOOK INTO IT. MAYBE YOUR DOCTOR ADVISES AGAINST IT. YOU WON'T HAVE THAT OPTION. ADDITIONALLY TWO IF YOUR DOCTOR AND YOU DISCUSSED THAT, AND YOU EXPLAIN TO YOUR CHILD THAT THEY'RE NOT TO ACCEPT THE VACCINE AH, THEY'RE THEY'RE INFLUENTIAL. I MEAN, THEY'RE HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY ADULTS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND SO IF THEY'RE PRESSURED TO DO SO, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECEIVE IT WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. SO LET'S LOOK OUT FOR THAT. 8 71 866 SP 866 SP 8 71 THANK YOU. MARIA STUBS. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. THIS ISN'T OVER. THE DAMAGE TO OUR CHILDREN HAS BEEN DONE. WE DON'T FORGET THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT HELPED PERPETRATE THIS DAMAGE THAT IS MRS FREEMAN, MRS BUCK. AND LATELY MRS ANDERSON AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. WE DO KNOW WHO YOU ARE. SO FOR MONTHS WE DEMANDED KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL, MRS. BACH BLOCKED THAT WITH A MANDATE MASK CHOICE. THE THREE BOARD MEMBERS BLOCKED, DAD, WE DON'T FORGET CANCELED BOARD MEETINGS. WE DON'T FORGET THE FAKE NO MESH MASK ENFORCEMENT THAT A SECRET EMAIL FROM SUPERINTENDENTS. ASTOR PROMPTED KIDS AT A TENDER AGE TO BE COERCED BLACKMAIL, HUMILIATED. AND KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL BY THE SO CALLED EDUCATORS ALL THESE BEHIND PARENTS BACK SHAME ON YOU ALL. WE CONTINUE TO DEMAND THIS DISTRICT TO GO AND TELL OC THE O. C ONE OF THE OCCASION, LEGISLATORS AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM THAT WE WANT TOLERATE COMING BACK VACCINE MANDATE ON OUR KIDS. WELL, THEY DO THAT. I DON'T. I DON'T. I DON'T THINK SO. YOU DOING? SCOTT TURNER. SO SCOTT EUROPE NEXT, FOLLOWED BY PAUL KUNKLE. BRICKELL FLEXNER AND ED GUNDERSON. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SCOTT TURNER AND I HAVE CALLED YOUR BELINDA HOME SINCE 2000 AND NINE. MY FAMILY RECENTLY MOVED NEAR TRAVIS RANCH , AND OUR YOUNGEST STARTED PRE K THERE IN JANUARY. MY ELVIS WILL BE FINISHING THE FIRST GRADE AT MABEL PAIN BEFORE JOINING HER SISTER NEXT YEAR. THE SCHOOL DIFFICULT OUR NUMBER ONE REASON FOR STAYING IN YOUR BELINDA AS A SPECIAL EDUCATION ADMINISTRATOR IN ANOTHER COUNTY AND AS AN ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AND PROFESSOR IN A DOCTORAL PROGRAM. I'M THANKFUL FOR THE DECISIONS MADE THAT ALLOWED MY DAUGHTER TO RETURN TO HYBRID IN OCTOBER 2020 AND FULL DAY IN APRIL OF 2021.SHE WAS LITERALLY MET WITH OPEN ARMS AT THE SAME TIME THAT MANY DISTRICTS REMAIN SHUTTERED. SOME NEVER REOPEN THAT YEAR. I BELIEVE P Y EL USD HAS CONTINUED TO MEET THE MOMENT AND SERVING OUR STUDENTS. BUT I'M CONCERNED WE ARE NOT SUPPORTING THIS AMAZING DISTRICT. LET ME BE CLEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO MONDAY WHEN MASTER NOT REQUIRED, BUT I ALSO NEVER QUESTIONED IF THE DISTRICT WOULD IMMEDIATELY MAKE THAT DECISION AS EVIDENCE. TONIGHT WE HAVE A PASSIONATE COMMUNITY ENGAGED IN PUBLIC EDUCATION, PERHAPS MORE THAN EVER. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANNEL THIS ENERGY IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION TO EITHER DISTANCE P Y EL USD FURTHER FROM SURROUNDING DISTRICTS OR GET BOGGED DOWN IN THE VARIOUS ISSUES. I WOULD URGE ALL PRESENT TONIGHT TO COME TOGETHER FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS AWARD WINNING DISTRICT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, PAUL KUNKLE. GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE HERE FOR PARENTS THAT HAVE KIDS HERE IN THE DISTRICT, NOT TEACHERS THAT ARE
[01:10:05]
BEING PAID BY THE UNION TO BE HERE, NOT KIDS THAT ARE GETTING EXTRA CREDIT TO BE HERE. UM LET'S SEE. AH UM HAVE YOU SEEN THE LETTERS THAT ARE DOCTORS? OFFICES ARE NOW PUTTING UP WHERE THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THEY IF YOUR KID DOESN'T TAKE AN E K G. FOUR SPORTS, SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SPECIAL TESTING BECAUSE AND IN SOME STATES, IT SAYS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE VACCINE. HAVE YOU SEEN THAT? THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE THAT THEY WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE KIDS UNLESS THEY TAKE THAT SPECIAL TEST FOR THEIR HEART. UM IF YOU LOOKED AT OUR SCHOOLS, THEY HAVE KIDS OF EVERY COLOR. SO REMEMBER THAT WE DON'T NEED TO SINGLE OUT ONE COLOR. HEALTH. GOOD EVENING.I'M A MOM OF THREE IN THE DISTRICT AND A TEACHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS ISN'T WITH EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS A LONGER SCHOOL YEAR OR EVEN WITH SMALLER CLASS SIZES. IT'S WITH AN EFFECTIVE TEACHER. THIS MEANS IF WE WANT OUR KIDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION, THE SINGLE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO ATTRACT AND EMPLOY THE BEST TEACHERS. SO WHEN I SEE TRUSTEES WHO EXPRESS MISTRUST IN OUR TEACHERS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. WHEN WE HAVE TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTENTLY VOTE AGAINST SERVICES AND TOOLS ARE TEACHERS SAY THEY NEED IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WE HAVE A PROBLEM. WHEN TRUSTEES WANT TO CENSOR TEACHERS INSTEAD OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO SUPPORT THEM AND DELIVERING RESEARCH BASED, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE CURRICULUM. WE HAVE A PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T FULLY SUPPORT ALL TEACHERS, NOT JUST THE ONES WHO CHOOSE TO MEET WITH YOU. THEN YOU DON'T SUPPORT KIDS. THANK THANK YOU. ED GUNDERSON, EUROPE LAST. EVENING IDENTIFY AS A PARENT, TAXPAYER AND VERTICALLY CHALLENGED AT 58. TEACHERS GOOD UNION BAD. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT WE STOP ALL THIS COVID THEATER.
NEVER FORGET. OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN MASKED ALL THIS TIME BECAUSE OF THE TEACHERS UNIONS. AS A DEMOCRAT. KOMISARZ READ THE POLLS, THEY SEE THAT THEIR PROPAGANDA IS NO LONGER WORKING ON THINKING PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE. THIS IS WHY COVID IS ENDING HERE IN CALIFORNIA, STAN THE SCARE TACTICS OF DEATH RATES NO LONGER WORKED HOSPITALIZATIONS AS THEY DROPPED NO LONGER WORKED POSITIVE CASE RATES AS THEY DROP NO LONGER WORK, AND THEN WE FIND OUT THAT THEY'RE 40% FALSE POSITIVE. AS I CLOSE MY REMARKS LAST MONTH, I SAID. COVID 19 IS ALL OVER. AND DONNA. PART POTTER. DID DONNA SHOW UP, OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL MOVE ON FROM THERE.
[GENERAL FUNCTIONS]
OKAY SO NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND WE ARE SELECTING SEVEN CANDIDATES FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION DELEGATE ASSEMBLY. SO EVERYBODY GOT A PACKET OF INFORMATION ALONG WITH ALL OF THE, UM, THE SUBMISSIONS THERE. SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANYBODY WHO HAS COMMENTS ON HOW WE START A PRESIDENT BACK. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I WILL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE CSB A AND I DON'T SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.THINK I, TOO DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ESPN AND THE LOBBYIST GROUP THAT THEY ARE WHO SUPPORTS GOVERNOR NEWSOM AND HIS VACCINE MANDATES AND THE MASKING OUR STUDENTS THIS WHOLE YEAR. UM AND I WILL ALSO BE VOTING NOW. OKAY? WOULD YOU LIKE TO START SELECTING SOME? DO YOU WANT SOME CANDIDATES? UM DO YOU WANT SOME NAMES? YES, PLEASE. OKAY. AND I'M SURE WE ALL HAVE AFTER HAVING READ. THERE'S 10 ON OUR LIST. SEVEN SPOTS MAXIMUM, AND SO I WILL JUST HAVE THE NAMES.
[01:15:03]
THEY'RE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, BUT I'M OPEN TO ANYTHING THAT ANYONE ELSE HAS IS AS A SUGGESTION OR ANY QUESTION THAT AS TO WHY I SELECTED THAT NAME. UM. I HAD DOWN MARYLIN ANDERSON . LAUREN BROOKS CARRIED BACK LYNN DAVIS, CANDY KERN AND MARIE RANDALL TREJO AND MICHAEL SIMON'S. THOSE WERE THE THOUGHTS THAT I HAD AFTER READING THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS AND YOU KNOW THE QUESTIONS. IT'S OVER, OKAY? MRS ANDERSON. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE YOUR SEVEN OKAY? I'M FOR ME , OF COURSE AND MICHELLE BARTO. LAUREN BROOKS. CARRIE BUCK. AND THEN, UM. THAT'S ALL THAT I CHOSE, UM THEY FELT COMFORTABLE NOMINATING, OKAY? IS THAT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THE REST OF THEM ARE YOU JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SELECT ANY MORE THAN FOUR. UM AS I DID THEIR RESEARCH. I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THEM. OKAY? POSSIBLY I COULD B. PULLED TO SIMMONS. MICHAEL SIMMONS. OKAY MICHAEL SIMON'S OKAY. THE ONES I HAD LISTED WHERE MARILYN ANDERSON, MICHELLE BARTO, LAUREN BROOKS, CARRIE BUCK, AH CANDY CANDACE KERN. AND ANNEMARIE RANDALL TREJO AND BARBARA SCHELLMAN. SO WE'RE A LITTLE OFF THERE ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. SO HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PROCEED? IT'S GOING TO TAKE KAREN, CAN YOU REPEAT YOURS? OH, SURE. UM AGAIN.THEY'RE ALPHABETICALLY IN ORDER . MARILYN ANDERSON, LAUREN BROOKS CARRY BACK LYNN DAVIS.
CANDY KERN AND MARIE RANDALL TREJO AND MICHAEL SIMON'S. SO MARILYN, LAUREN AND CARRIE.
WE ALL AGREE ON SO WE CAN GO WITH THOSE THREE. UM I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH MICHELLE BARTO A LITTLE BIT. UM I DON'T KNOW HER VERY WELL, BUT SHE'S VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND VERY INVOLVED. SO THAT'S WHY I SELECTED HER. UM CANDACE KERN. SHE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH PITA AROUND THE WHOLE COUNTY. AND SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A, UM A AND A GOOD THING TO ADD TO THAT AS WELL. I'M JUST A DIFFERENT ROUND ROUNDED OUT, ANNEMARIE. I'VE WORKED WITH HER JUST THROUGH CSP . A. I DON'T KNOW HER VERY WELL. BUT SHE ALWAYS BRINGS SOME, UM SHE PARTICIPATES A LOT. UM AND THEN BARBARA SHULMAN. I'VE WORKED WITH HER THROUGH SPECIAL EDUCATION THINGS. SO THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY I CHOSE THEM. I CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE COMMENT. OF COURSE. I'VE WORKED WITH MARYLAND. I HAVE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MICHELLE BARTO. I'M GETTING TO KNOW HER, BUT I DON'T KNOW HER WELL, YET. UM LAUREN BROOKS. I'VE CERTAINLY INTERACTED WITH QUITE WELL AND IN VARIOUS WAYS. UM AND, UH, COURSE I KNOW YOU. LYNN DAVIS. UH WAS I THINK OFF DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND I THINK HE CAME BACK ON IN THE TIMES THAT I'VE WORKED WITH HIM. HE SEEMS TO BE UM. DEFINITELY A PARTICIPANT. HE'S NOT A PERSON WHO JUST KIND OF ATTENDS, BUT HE REALLY PARTICIPATES AND OFTEN HAS BROUGHT SOME VERY INTERESTING THINGS TO THE DISCUSSION. UM YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT CANVAS OR CANDY KERN. I'VE BEEN INCREASINGLY IMPRESSED WITH HER THROUGH THE TIME NOW THAT I'VE INTERACTED WITH HER, AND YOU'VE ALREADY REFERENCED HER. HER OTHER COLLEGE CREDENTIAL WITH HER FOURTH DISTRICT, PTR, NOT PD THAT SHE'S PRESIDENT. I FORGET THE TITLE OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT, ENTIRE ORANGE COUNTY PITA. UM AND MARIE RANDALL TREJO WORKS ALONGSIDE ME AS A TRUSTEE AND ROP. I HAVE. I'VE DONE SO NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND SHE'S VERY, VERY AGAIN. VERY ENGAGED. VERY, UM SHE JUST BRINGS VERY GOOD CONCEPTS TO THE DISCUSSION.
AND, UM I HAVE HIGH REGARD FOR HER. AND MICHAEL SIMON'S ALSO HAS BEEN AS YOU SAY, BOARD MEMBER FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN HIS CASE, AND I ALWAYS HAVE FOUND THAT HE HAS BROUGHT FORTH. UM VOICE OF REASON. HE ALSO BRINGS IN HIS EXPERIENCE A LOT TO THE TABLE AS FAR AS THE DIFFERENT SUBJECTS DON'T LET UP. I'VE KNOWN MICHAEL FOR A FEW YEARS AS WELL. SO IF, UM MARILYN, YOU WANT TO SELECT HIM AND WE HAVE TO FOR THAT ONE. I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT AS WELL. SO IF WE WANT
[01:20:04]
TO, UM LOOK AT MARYLAND, MICHELLE LAUREN, CARRIE AND MICHAEL 12345. UM. AND THE DESSERT ANYMORE. WE WANT TO ADD TO IT OR KIND OF UP TO YOU. AND IF NOT, THAT'S FINE, TOO. YEAH THAT'S WHERE I FEEL COMFORTABLE . ESPECIALLY UM, THE THINGS THAT ANNEMARIE WROTE IN HER THING TO ME, WERE, UM THE THINGS THAT AMERI WROTE. FROM ANAHEIM. I JUST REALLY SPECIALLY WHEN SHE WAS. I JUST DO NOT AGREE WITH KIND OF HER STANCE. OKAY, SO I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT ONE AT ALL. OKAY SO ARE WE OKAY WITH MARILYN ANDERSON, MICHELLE BARTO, LAUREN BROOKS, CARRIE BUCK AND MICHELLE SIMON'S I'M SORRY. MICHAEL SIMON'S 12345 GET WITH THEM AGAIN. I WANT TO BE SURE CUTS OF THE NOISE. OKAY. MARILYN ANDERSON, MICHELLE BARTO, LAUREN BROOKS. CARRY BACK. MICHAEL SIMON'S AND WHAT WAS THE END RESULT ON CANVAS OR CANDY? THAT IT'S A NO OKAY. SO JUST THOSE FIVE? SURE, OKAY. DID YOU GET ALL OF US? OKAY SO WOULD YOU LIKE THAT WITH THE MOTION? COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE THAT INTO AN OPTION? UM OKAY. I HOPE I GET THESE. RIGHT. OKAY I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE VOTE FOR MARILYN ANDERSON, MICHELLE BARTO, LAUREN BROOKS, CARRIE BUCK. AND MICHAEL SIMMONS. I'LL SECOND. OKAY, SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MRS FREEMAN, SECOND BY MRS ANDERSON, AND THEN WE'LL ASK FOR THE ABSTENTION AS WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I ALL THOSE OPPOSED ME. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A 31 AND ABSTENTIONS AND , UM, WOULD YOU LIKE THAT PUT ON MY YES, I ABSTAIN. THANK YOU AND OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER HIGH.OKAY, SO THREE EYES, ONE NO AND ABSTENTION AND AN EYE FROM THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. OKAY? MOVING ON. OKAY, NUMBER TWO. CAN I HAVE A MOTION PLACE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE ADVICE BOARD BYLAW 92 40 BOARD SELF EVALUATION, SECOND READING ALL SECOND. OK, ANY DISCUSSION ON.
BUT I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I LIKE THE WORDS THAT WERE INCORPORATED THAT CAME OUT OF OUR DISCUSSION AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING. SO READ WELL. YEAH, I NOTICED EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FIXED AND ALTERED SO GREAT JOB NOTE TAKING EVERYBODY. OKAY ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AND IMPOSED MOTION CARRIES 50 AND AN EYE FROM THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. OKAY, MOVING TO NUMBER THREE. I NEED A MOTION, PLEASE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CONSIDER RESOLUTION. 21 18 STUDENTS SYMPTOMS. DECISION TREE ALL SECOND. OKAY AND I FORGET WHO BROUGHT IT, MR MACKLIN, AND WE'LL START WITH YOU. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BUCK, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DOCTORAL SASSER AND EXECUTIVE CABINET. AS YOU ARE AWARE. INCLUDED ON THE FEBRUARY 8TH BOARD MEETING WAS THE DISCUSSION ITEMS SPECIFIC TO THE STUDENTS SYMPTOM DECISION TREE.
INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD ON HOW THE STUDENTS SYMPTOM DECISION TREE IS USED TO MANAGE POSITIVE COVID 19 CASES, AS WELL AS STUDENTS WHO ARE CLOSE CONTACT TO POSITIVE CASES.
FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATION, THERE WAS A CONSENSUS FROM THE BOARD TO CONSIDER EXCEEDING CURRENT HEALTH ORDER GUIDANCE BY RESPONDING TO ALL STUDENTS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF THEIR VACCINATION STATUS. SPECIFICALLY ALL STUDENTS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO A POSITIVE CASE OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL SETTING WOULD BE RESPONDED TO IN THE SAME MANNER. TONIGHT FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION IS A DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT WOULD PUT THIS GUIDANCE INTO EFFECT IF APPROVED. WITH THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MR TODD ROBBINS, ATTORNEY AND PARTNER WITH ATKINSON AND OLSON, LAWYER WROTE AND ROMO TO JOIN ME AT THE PODIUM. BOTH OF US ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THE BOARD MAY HAVE. OPEN IT UP FOR ANY COMMENTS. ANYWAY OKAY? I JUST HAVE A FEW ALTERATIONS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD. UM. AT THE END OF PARAGRAPH ONE TO ADD THE AND I KNOW IT'S MINOR. AND, UM ALSO TO INSERT A NEW PARAGRAPH NUMBER TO KEEP THE ONE THAT'S THEY'RE CURRENTLY BUT ONE IN BETWEEN IT AND I APOLOGIZE. I WAS PLENTY AND I'M MAKING COPIES. BUT MY LIFE KIND OF ENDED WEIRD THIS AFTERNOON. SO, UM I DIDN'T GET TO IT. WE READ
[01:25:06]
IT TO YOU, WHEREAS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDENTS SYMPTOMS DECISION TREE IS TO ASSIST SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO EVALUATE AND PROVIDE A PATHWAY IN REGARDS TO QUARANTINE AND RETURNED TO SCHOOL PROCEDURES. SEMI COLON AND AN I JUST FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOME CONTENT OF LIKE WHAT THE PURPOSES OF THE STUDENT DECISION TREE BECAUSE WE KIND OF JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO IT WITHOUT KIND OF LAYING SOME GROUNDWORK, AND THAT WAS MY REASONING FOR ADDING THAT PARAGRAPH, PLEASE REPEAT. OKAY? WHEREAS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT SYMPTOM DECISION TREE IS TO ASSIST SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO EVALUATE AND PROVIDE A PATHWAY IN REGARDS TO QUARANTINE. AND RETURNED TO SCHOOL PROCEDURES. SEMI COLON AND. PERSON THAT ASSISTS SCHOOL PERSONNEL. TO EVALUATE AND PROVIDE A PATHWAY. IN REGARDS TO QUARANTINE AND RETURN TO SCHOOL PROCEDURES. AND THAT WOULD BE THE NEW PARAGRAPH NUMBER TWO. YEAH AND THEN WOULD KEEP THE OTHER PARAGRAPH NUMBER TWO AS WELL. IT'S NOT REPLACE. IT'S JUST IT WOULD JUST FOLLOW IT. IT'S JUST INSERT CURE. I HAVE, WHEREAS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDENTS SYMPTOM DECISION TREE IS TO ASSIST SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO EVALUATE AND PROVIDE A PATHWAY IN REGARDS TO QUARANTINE AND RETURNED TO SCHOOL PROCEDURES.SEMI COLON AND CORRECT. ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS CONCERNS WITH THAT? GOOD. OKAY? ALRIGHT, INCLUDED. OKAY? I HAVE ANOTHER ONE. HIM. THIS IS, UM AFTER PARAGRAPH SIX. AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF GOES TO WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO CHANGE IT. AND I HAVE, WHEREAS THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION CDC IN PARENTHESES STATES, HOWEVER, SINCE VACCINES ARE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING INFECTION SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED WILL STILL GET COVID 19. END OF QUOTATION, SEMI COLON AND. SO I JUST PULLED OFF THE DIRECT QUOTE FROM THE CDC BASICALLY SAYING THAT THEIR VACCINES DON'T REALLY PREVENT YOU GETTING IT. AS I AM A GOOD EXAMPLE NOW SINCE I JUST SURVIVED MY SECOND ROUND. CAN I REPEAT BACK? YES, I THINK I GOT MOST OF IT. WHEREAS THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION CDC STATES. QUOTE HOWEVER, SINCE VACCINES ARE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING INFECTION, SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED WILL STILL GET COVID COVID 19 COVID 19 QUOTE AND THE QUOTE. PERIOD. YEAH.
QUOTE. AND THEN SENT MICHAEL ONE. IS THAT SATISFACTORY WITH EVERYONE? TO INCLUDE THAT AND THIS IS UNDER PARAGRAPH SIX. THE ORIGINAL SIX PARAGRAPHS RIGHT BEFORE ARE THE NEW SEVEN. THAT WOULD MAKE IT THE LAST. WHEREAS CORRECT. MRS FREEMAN THAT THAT PARTICULAR ONE KIND OF MAKES ME THINK OF AN EMAIL THAT WE ALL GOT IN DECEMBER FROM A STUDENT AT TRAVIS AND THAT WAS DURING THAT TIME. THAT SIXTH GRADERS AS YOU RECALL ALL HAD TO QUARANTINE AND LOST SOME SCHOOL AND I KEPT THAT EMAIL BECAUSE IT WAS JUST RESONATED WITH ME BECAUSE OF HER FRUSTRATION AND THIS CAME FROM THE STUDENT AND WE ALL WOULD HAVE SEEN IT. AND SHE SHE ADDRESSED IT TO US. AND SHE SAID, DEAR BOARD MEMBERS. HI. MY NAME IS AND I WON'T GIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS HERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO GIVE HIM THE SETTING. I'M 1/6 GRADER AT TRAVIS RANCH MIDDLE SCHOOL.
I'M WRITING TO YOU TODAY BECAUSE I'M ANNOYED. THAT THERE WAS A BIG COVID OUTBREAK IT TRAVIS RANCH AND I WAS EXPOSED OVER TWO TIMES. I HAD TO TAKE A TEST ON THURSDAY EVENING AND BROUGHT IT TO SCHOOL FRIDAY MORNING. I DON'T HAVE MY RESULTS. AS OF MONDAY AT 23. THIS WAS AS I SAID, DONE. ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 13TH SHE GOES ON TO WRITE TO US. I WAS VACCINATED ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I FEEL THAT TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THE FACT THAT ALL STUDENTS SHOULD GET VACCINATED BECAUSE BECAUSE ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE TIRED OF MISSING SCHOOL. I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL THE STUDENTS AT TRAVIS RANCH. I'M NOT COMMENTING TO HER POSITION ON VACCINES. BUT I AM POINTING OUT THAT FOR STUDENTS TO LOSE TIME.
[01:30:03]
I THINK WE PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN. UM. AFTER HEARING WHAT YOU SAID. I THINK THAT'S YOU POINTED OUT A VERY GOOD POINT. BUT AS WE ADDRESS OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENTS AS TO WHY THEY WOULD THEN IN THIS CHANGE, HAVE TO LIST MORE LOSE MORE SCHOOL TIME. WHAT IS OUR REPLY? WILL IT BE THAT HOW ARE WE GOING TO EXPLAIN TO OUR STUDENTS THAT THEY WERE AS THEY WOULD HAVE HAD? LESS TIME MISSED FROM SCHOOL IF THEY ALREADY HAD AND THEIR FAMILIES HAD DONE. AH HAD MADE A CHOICE TO GET THE VACCINE. BUT NOW WE'RE SAYING YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF SCHOOL LONGER. WHAT? WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE IS GOING TO BE IF WE APPROVE THIS. BONDS SORRY TO PLEASE IN JUST A SECOND. PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN. THIS IS OUR MEETING FOR US TO INTERACT.IT IS OUR MEETING FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO THIS IS OUR MEETING. PLEASE LISTEN, SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR WHAT WE'RE ALL SAYING. GO AHEAD. COUNTERS. OKAY SO MY RESPONSE WOULD BE THAT WE HAVE FOUND YOU KNOW THIS IS ALL NEW AND IT'S EVOLVING. BUT YOU KNOW THE CURRENT, YOU KNOW, STUDIES SHOW THAT IF YOU HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, YOU CAN STILL GET IT AND YOU CAN STILL SPREAD IT. AND AGAIN AT THE LAST MEETING I GAVE MY SISTER IS A PRIME EXAMPLE WHO HAD JUST HAD HER THIRD ROUND OF COVID. AND THEN AFTER OUR LAST MEETING, MY HUSBAND WAS SO GRACIOUS TO GIVE ME COVID FOR MY SECOND TIME. AND HIM AND I ARE BOTH VACCINATED SO UM MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT IS NOT REALLY WORKING VERY WELL. AND UM , YOU KNOW, THAT'S. THAT THAT'S THAT'S PERFECT. GOOD I JUST SAY THAT I KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL ASK US THE WANT TO KNOW HOW WE'VE COME TO THIS CHANGE, AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE OPTION TO BE EVEN MORE CONSERVATIVE. IN WHAT WE HAVE AS OUR CRITERIA IF YOU WILL, FOR WHO CAN BE COMING BACK ONTO THE CAMPUS. WE CAN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS THAN WHAT WE'VE BEEN DIRECTED. UM IF IT'S POSSIBLE CAN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE SILENCE IN THE ROOM? PERHAPS THEN KEEP YOUR IF YOU KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HEAR SO WE WON'T. WE WILL ALL TRY TO SPEAK UP. BUT THIS IS OUR MEETING, AND IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HERE AND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HEAR ON THE MIC. SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THE MEETING. I WOULD SAY THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE VACCINE IS THAT IT'S BEEN EXPERIMENTAL THIS WHOLE TIME, AND THERE WAS CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO CHOSE TO TAKE IT AND THERE'S CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T AND IT FEELS TO THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T TAKE THE VACCINE. THAT THEY'RE BEING PUNISHED FOR NOT DOING SO WHEN THE VACCINATED ARE GETTING IT AND SPREADING IT. JUST AS MUCH AS THE BACK UNVACCINATED ARM. SO IF WE'RE IF IT'S REALLY ABOUT SAFETY, WHICH ALL THESE PROTOCOLS ARE IN PLACE, FOR, WE WILL BE TREATING EVERYBODY THE SAME BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING SO EVERY SPREADING IT THAT WOULD BE MY RESPONSES.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY CLEAR. I MEAN, THE FLORIDA SURGEON GENERAL JUST CAME OUT AND SAID HE WOULD ADVISE AGAINST VACCINATING HEALTHY CHILDREN. SO I THINK THE THINGS ARE CHANGING, SO AS LONG AS THESE ARE IN PLACE, WE JUST GO FORWARD AND SAY EVERYONE'S TREATED DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT CODE FROM A VACCINATED PERSON. SO I MEAN IT'S SPREADING. REGARDLESS IF YOU HAVE, YOU DON'T HAVE IT, AND IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. BUT WE SHOULDN'T BE. WE SHOULDN'T BE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE KIDS BECAUSE IT IS STARTING TO AFFECT THEIR SPORTS . IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE VACCINATED AND YOU'RE EXPOSED, YOU GO SCHOOL. IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU HAVE TO STAY HOME FOR FIVE DAYS. UM THE TESTING ALL THE THINGS I MEAN, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY. UM. IF I'M A DIRECTOR QUESTION, IF ANY OF OUR STAFF WOULD HAVE THE ANSWER DOES THIS IN ANY WAY? MISALIGNED WITH ANY DIRECTIVES THAT DO HAVE TO DO WITH CF RULES OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS AS TO HOW WE'RE HANDLING. ANYTHING TO DO WITH QUARANTINE. NOTHING COMES TO MY NOTHING COMES TO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER. JUST, UM. TWO MORE REALLY QUICK THINGS AND THE PARAGRAPH SEVEN AND EIGHT. IT'S MISSING THE SEMICOLON, AN ANT. WHICH ONE IS THAT? SEVEN. OKAY LOOK AT THE LAST TWO ON THE PAGE OF THE LAST TWO ON THE ANY THEIR MINDS, OKAY? YEAH, OKAY.
ACTUALLY STYLISTICALLY. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE NOW THEY'RE FORCE THOSE THOSE ARE DECLARATIONS, AND SO THEY WOULDN'T MAYBE A PERIOD THEY GET A PERIOD HAS EXCELLENT. THANK
[01:35:01]
YOU. I MEAN, IT GETS SUGGESTIONS, AND I. I'M MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT. IF WE DO MAKE, UM IF WE WERE ASKING FOR MATION AS TO THIS CHANGE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYTHING THAT IS, UH. THERE'S BEEN A STATEMENT THAT YOU HAVE MADE THAT THERE'S THE THEIR SCIENCE OR SOMETHING I CAN'T REPEAT. I CAN'T GENERAL I'M TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS ABOUT THAT THE VACCINES AREN'T WORKING AND THEIR EXPERIMENTAL I WOULD SAY THAT ANY INFORMATION WE HAVE IS GROUNDED IN WHAT WE KNOW TO BE BACK. WHEN WE TALKED TO PARENTS AS TO WHY THIS WOULD BE ALTERED IN SUCH A WAY THAT SOME STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED ARE NOW BEING ASKED TO BE OUT OF SCHOOL LONGER, SO I JUST WANT US TO ALWAYS PRESENT, UM, FACTS BEHIND WHAT WE HAVE IS OUR ACTIONS.THANK YOU. ANYWHERE ELSE. OKAY, UM. I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE DON'T IMPOSE ADDITIONAL, UM, LIMITATIONS AND WE KEEP IT DOWN TO HIS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AND WE TRY TO CONTINUE TO REDUCE THIS. SO THAT WON'T BE MY VOTE WHEN WE GO SO, UM, UNLESS THERE'S ANY MORE COMMENTS WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE VOTE. OKAY UM, WE HAD A MOTION BY MRS ANDERSON IN A SECOND BY MR YOUNGBLOOD. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE AND OPPOSED. NO, NO. AND FOR OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. NO NO. OKAY, SO WE HAVE THREE EYES TO NOSE AND AN A FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS
[CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION]
SO THAT MOTION CARRIES OKAY, THAT BRINGS US TO CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION, AND WE'LL TAKE A MOTION FIRST, AND THEN I'LL PASS IT ON TO DR ADAMSON. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE A 30 DAY DISPLAY OF OPEN SITE ED SCIENCE TEXTBOOKS FOR GRADES 63 FOR THE ADOPTION PROCESS OF THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY. A SECOND. GET DR ADAMSON. THANK YOU. WELL, GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BACK MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, EXECUTIVE CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.IT'S MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE THIS NEXT PRESENTATION. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW SINCE WE BEGAN OUR SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE ADOPTION PROCESS, A PROCESS WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND INTERRUPTED FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE RECENT PANDEMIC.
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
SINCE MY PLEASURE AT THIS TIME TO INTRODUCE TO THIS EVENING, DIRECTOR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL, MR KEITH CARMONA, WHO HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS PROCESS, AND WHO WILL THEREFORE BE PRESENTING AN OVERVIEW OF THE OPEN SIDE PILOT. AN ADOPTION PROCESS, MR CARMONAK TRUSTEES, DOCTOR L. SASSER AND EXECUTIVE CABINET. TONIGHT I BRING FORTH FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION THE APPROVAL OF 1/6 THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE CURRICULUM TO BE PUT ON 30 DAY PUBLIC DISPLAY. A CURRICULUM ENTITLED OPEN SOCIETY. AS YOU CONSIDER THIS ITEM. WE WANT TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT THE PROCESS. OUR TEAM HAS GONE THROUGH TO RECOMMEND THIS CURRICULUM TO YOU. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE TYPICAL OF ADOPTION PROCESS THAT WE FOLLOW IN PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA WHEN CONSIDERING NEW INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. OUR DISTRICT CREATES A STEERING COMMITTEE TASK FORCE TO GUIDE THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND EVENTUALLY PILOT MATERIALS.
THIS GROUP THEN BEGINS WITH TRAINING ON ANY NEW STANDARDS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RUBRIC OR EVALUATION TOOL THAT GROUNDS THE DECISION MAKING PROCESSES AND ADHERENCE TO PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS. TEAMS COLLECT IN A RIGHT AN ARRAY OF POSSIBLE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SELECT SEVERAL FOR PAPER SCREENING. THE HIGHEST SCORING MATERIALS ARE SELECTED TO PILOT THEN EMPLOYING THE RUBRIC TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICACY OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL, DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. AFTER THE PILOTS ARE CONCLUDED. ONE IS SELECTED BASED ON THE DATA COLLECTED TO BE RECOMMENDED TO CURRICULUM COUNCIL. FOLLOWING THAT APPROVAL . WE PRESENT THE MATERIALS TO THE BOARD, FIRST FOR 30 DAY PUBLIC DISPLAY. AND THEN FINALLY FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF ADOPTION. TONIGHT WE ARE ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER THE SCIENCE
[01:40:07]
ADOPTION FOR 30 DAY PUBLIC DISPLAY. BEFORE WE DISCUSS THE SCIENCE CURRICULUM BEING RECOMMENDED. LET'S DISCUSS WHAT PROMPTED THE NEED TO ADOPT NEW INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. IN 2013. THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTED A NEW SET OF SCIENCE STANDARDS ENTITLED THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS. THESE DRAMATICALLY SHIFTED HOW SCIENCE IS INTENDED TO BE TAUGHT. DURING THE TRANSITION TO END GSS DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN SUPPLEMENTING WITH BRIDGE MATERIALS TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF NGS S. THIS NEW CURRICULUM. ADOPTION BRINGS P WHILE USD IN ALIGNMENT WITH NGS S STANDARDS AND PREPARE STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS ON THE CALIFORNIA SCIENCE TEST. NGS S FOCUSES ON HOW SCIENCE FIELDS ARE INTERCONNECTED AND PROVIDES INSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE, LIFE SCIENCE, EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING AND DESIGN. THERE IS AN EMPHASIS ON SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES.DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS. AND CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS, WHICH SHIFTS SCIENCE FROM ROTE MEMORIZATION TO UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION. THE STANDARDS SEEK TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP A SCIENTIFICALLY BASED VIEW OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM. MOST OF ALL NGS S STANDARDS ENCOURAGE AN EXPECTATION OF CRITICAL THINKING THROUGH HANDS ON EXPERIENCES AND INQUIRY BASED LEARNING. THE NGS S STANDARDS HAVE STUDENTS ACT AS SCIENTISTS. FOCUSING ON WHAT SCIENTISTS DO. NO AND HOW THEY THINK THE STANDARDS ARE BUILT AROUND THE IDEA OF EXPLORING PHENOMENA BASED LEARNING.
PHENOMENA BASED LEARNING ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO OBSERVE NATURAL PHENOMENA SUCH AS A RISING TIDE OR GLASS SHATTERED BY SOUND. STUDENTS THEN INVESTIGATE WHY IT OCCURS.
STUDENTS IN N GSS PHENOMENA BASED LEARNING LEAD BY ASKING QUESTIONS. ON A DAILY BASIS, STUDENTS ENGAGE IN THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. THEY FORM HYPOTHESES COLLABORATE. DISCOVER CONNECTIONS, DESIGN MODELS AND THEN MUST MAKE SENSE OF WHAT THEY OBSERVE, SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE THEY EXPERIENCED TWO DOCUMENTED IN CLASS. THE SAME PROCESSES THAT REAL LIFE SCIENTISTS ENGAGED IN DAILY. DURING THE TIME THAT THE TASK FORCE REVIEWS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT DECISIONS ARE GROUNDED IN DATA AND NOT BASED PURELY ON OPINIONS. OUR DISTRICT UTILIZED THE TIME TOOLKIT TO REVIEW MATERIALS WHICH WE WILL EXPLORE WITH YOU RIGHT NOW. TIME STANDS FOR THE TOOLKIT FOR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL EVALUATION AND HELPS ENSURE THAT DECISIONS MADE ABOUT CURRICULUM. ADOPTIONS ARE DRIVEN BY DATA.
THE ROBUST RUBRICS THAT WERE FOLLOWED AND I'LL PREVIEW FOR YOU ON THE NEXT SLIDE WERE DEVELOPED BY THE CREATORS OF NGS S APPROVED BY CD. AND HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED UP AND DOWN THE STATE. THEY FOCUS ON FOUNDATION IN SCIENCE. STUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND TEACHERS SUPPORTE RUBRICS UTILIZED IN EVALUATING THE UNITS OF STUDY FROM THE TWO PILOTED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS.
WITHOUT GOING INTO THE DETAILS ON EVERYTHING ON THIS SLIDE. IT IS SIMPLY WORTH NOTING THAT OUR SCIENCE TASK FORCE TOOK A COMPREHENSIVE AND FOCUS LOOK AT EACH OF THE CURRICULUM ADOPTIONS. AFTER REVIEWING EIGHT DIFFERENT SCIENCE CURRICULA. COMPLETING A FULL PAPER SCREEN OF FOUR DIFFERENT TEXTBOOKS. THE SCIENCE TASK FORCE DETERMINED THAT OPENS SIDE AND FOSTER LEARNING SYSTEMS WOULD BE SELECTED TO COMPLETE A FULL PILOT. EACH OF THESE CURRICULA UNDERWENT A PILOT THAT INVOLVED TEACHERS COMPLETING AN ENTIRE UNIT OF STUDY. THEN EVALUATING THEM USING THE DATA DRIVEN RUBRICS I SHARED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES. THIS. TO RATE STUDENT LEARNING AND TEACHER SUPPORT BUILT INTO THE MATERIAL. THE PROCESS FOR THIS PARTICULAR CURRICULUM, ADOPTION AND PILOT HAS BEEN NONTRADITIONAL IN COMPARED TO OTHERS IN THAT IT HAS SPANNED SEVERAL SCHOOL YEARS , WITH THE MAIN REASON BEING INTERRUPTIONS DUE TO COVID. IN 2019. WE FORMED THE SCIENCE TASK FORCE WE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED HEADING INTO THE 1920 SCHOOL YEAR. THAT TEAM CONDUCTED THE REVIEW OF AN ARRAY OF SCIENCE CURRICULA. ULTIMATELY THE TEAM SELECTED THE TWO PILOT PROGRAMS FOST AND OPEN SOCIETY. TEACHERS ON THE TASK FORCE, THEN PILOTED BOTH MATERIALS, EACH COMPLETING A FULL UNIT OF STUDY IN BOTH PROGRAMS. THEY UTILIZE THE ESTABLISHED RUBRICS TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATENESS AND EFFICACY. AND BY THE SPRING OF THE 2020 SCHOOL YEAR, THE TASK FORCE WAS REPAIRED TO RECOMMEND OPEN CITED AS THE ADOPTION TO THE BOARD.
[01:45:04]
HOWEVER COVID CLOSE SCHOOLS AND INSTEAD THE DECISION WAS MADE TO EXTEND THE PILOT RATHER THAN ADOPTING DURING THE PANDEMIC. ADDITIONALLY FINAL UNITS OF STUDY WERE NOT YET COMPLETE AT THAT TIME, AND IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE PRUDENT TO WAIT FOR FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MATERIALS.THE PILOT WAS ONCE AGAIN EXTENDED IN THE 2020 YEARS, 2021 SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE FOCUS ON REOPENING SCHOOLS OUT OF THE PANDEMIC. NOW HAVING COMPLETED AN EXTENDED PILOT OF THIS CURRICULUM AND A FULL RELEASE OF ALL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, WE ARE PREPARED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD FOR THE APPROVAL OF OPEN SIDED FOR 30 DAY PUBLIC DISPLAY. UPON COMPLETION OF THE PILOT OF FOSS AND OPEN SIDE AND EVALUATION OF THE CONFIDENCE OF EACH PROGRAM WAS CONDUCTED BY THE TASK FORCE TEACHERS. DURING THAT TIME, 100% OF THE TEAM MEMBERS INDICATED THEY EITHER SUPPORTED OR STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE OPEN SIDE CURRICULUM. BASED UPON THE PERFORMANCE ON THE TIME RUBRIC. THIS INCLUDED NEARLY 65% OF THE TEACHERS QUOTE STRONGLY SUPPORTING IT. ON THE CONTRARY, FOSS HAD 82% OF PILOTING TEACHERS INDICATED THAT THEY HAD CONCERNS AND COULD NOT SUPPORT THAT PROGRAM. THE VAST CURRICULUM PRESENTED AS THOUGH THEY TOOK PREEXISTING MATERIALS AND TRIED TO FIT IN GSS CONCEPTS AND METHODS, ALL METHODOLOGIES AROUND IT, RATHER THAN BUILDING A NEW PROGRAM ROOTED AND THEN GSS. IT WAS CLEAR, ACCORDING TO THE DATA THAT MOVING FORWARD WITH OPEN SIDE WAS THE DIRECTION TO HEAD. BECAUSE THE OPENS BECAUSE THE PILOT HAVE OPENED SIDE WAS EXTENDED DURING THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR AND INTO THIS YEAR. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE COMPLETE A FINAL EVALUATION OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BEFORE RECOMMENDING ITS ADOPTION TO CURRICULUM COUNCIL AND TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. EARLIER THIS WINTER. THAT EVALUATION WAS COMPLETED AND THE RESULTS WERE THAT 87% OF THE TASK FORCE TEACHERS STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE ADOPTION OF OPEN SIDE AS THE SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE CURRICULUM. NOW THAT WE HAVE SHOWN YOU THE RESULTS OF THE PILOT, LET'S LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE OPEN SIDE CURRICULUM. OPEN SIDES. MISSION IS STUDENT CENTERED AND FOCUSES ON STUDENT LEARNING. THEY SEEK TO GIVE TEACHERS THE MATERIAL SUPPORT AND POWER TO GET KIDS EXCITED AND CURIOUS ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO FIGURE IT OUT THROUGH QUESTIONING. INVESTIGATING AND SOLVING PROBLEMS. OPEN SIDE WAS DEVELOPED BY WORLD CLASS SCIENTISTS AND EDUCATORS, EXPERTS AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. AND WAS FIELD TESTED AND VETTED BY BOTH TEACHERS AND A PEER REVIEW PANEL BEFORE BEING PUBLISHED. OPEN SIDE IS NOT A TRADITIONAL TEXTBOOK COMPANY. IT IS AN OPEN SOURCE CURRICULUM AVAILABLE FOR ANY SCHOOL SYSTEM WISHING TO IMPLEMENT THE COST ASSOCIATED ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CURRICULUM IS NOT ON TEXTBOOKS, BUT INSTEAD ON THE MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES USED TO CONDUCT SCIENCE LABORATORIES, EXPERIMENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS. WITH THAT THERE IS STILL A STRONG FOUNDATION IN THE DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS OF SCIENCE. TO BE CLEAR. STUDENTS DO HAVE A HARD COPY STUDENT RESOURCE BOOK WHERE THEY CAPTURED THEIR LEARNING AND RECORD THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION. THIS RESOURCE IS ALSO AVAILABLE DIGITALLY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILE OPEN SIDE IS AVAILABLE ONLINE, THIS IS NOT AN ONLINE CURRICULUM. STUDENTS ARE MOST CERTAINLY ENGAGED IN HANDS ON LEARNING WITH THEIR PEERS AND THEIR TEACHER. THIS INSTRUCTIONAL ROUTINE SCHEMATIC CAPTURES THE BASIC ROUTINE OF OPEN THE OPEN SIDE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. ONCE A PHENOMENON IS PRESENTED, STUDENTS BEGIN THEIR INQUIRY PROCESS. THEY CREATE THE DRIVING QUESTION AND THEN DECIDE HOW TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION AND INVESTIGATION. STUDENTS WILL STOP TO COLLECT AND COMPARE THEIR DATA AND MAKE REVISIONS TO THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS THEY'VE STARTED BASED ON WHAT THEY STILL NEED TO KNOW. AFTER MORE EVIDENCE IS COLLECTED. STUDENTS COME TO CONSENSUS ON THE EXPLANATION THAT ANSWERS THEIR ORIGINAL PHENOMENA DRIVEN QUESTION. PERHAPS THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND OPEN SIDE IS TO LOOK AT WHAT A TYPICAL LESSON LOOKS LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM. THIS SHORT VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR STUDENTS TO BE ENGAGED WITH THE OPEN SIDE CURRICULUM.
[01:50:50]
GOT IT.WHAT WE JUST SAW IS A SMALL SAMPLE OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS WILL BE DOING ALL YEAR WITH THIS CURRICULUM. STUDENTS BEGAN WITH A PHENOMENON RELATED TO CONDUCTORS. THE DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEA THAT SOME MATERIALS CONDUCT BETTER THAN OTHERS GENERATED QUESTIONS, WHICH BEGINS THE INQUIRY BASED LEARNING MODEL. THE EXPERIMENTATION SUPPORTS THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO GSS. AND AT LAST, STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY MAKE THEIR OWN FINDINGS ABOUT CONDUCTORS THROUGH THE COST CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS THEY EXPERIENCED AND FOUND EVIDENCE FOR. THESE ARE QUOTES FROM OUR PILOT TEACHERS. THEIR WORDS ALLOW US TO SEE THE POSITIVE IMPACT THIS NGS S ALIGNED CURRICULUM WILL HAVE ON THE STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE CONDUCTED A VERY THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS TO SELECT A CURRICULUM THAT WILL PROVIDE TEACHERS WITH LESSONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT WILL BE ENGAGING FOR STUDENTS CHALLENGING AND MOTIVATING THEM TO BECOME ACTIVE SCIENTISTS WHEN LEARNING SCIENCE. THE FOCUS ON INVESTIGATION AND INQUIRY WILL PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT FOUNDATION FOR THEM WHEN THEY TRANSITION TO THE MORE RIGOROUS HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE COURSES THEY'LL BE TAKING IN JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS. TONIGHT WE ASKED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER A 30 DAY PUBLIC REVIEW OF OPEN SIDE AS THE ADOPTED CURRICULUM FOR P. WEIL, USD 6/7 AND EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS. PENDING THE APPROVAL OF THE 30 DAY PUBLIC DISPLAY. OPEN SIDE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO REVIEW AT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY. AT HER NEXT MONTH MEETING AFTER 30 DAYS HAS PASSED , WE WILL BE SEEKING FULL APPROVAL OF OPEN SIDED FOR ADOPTION. IF THE BOARD APPROVES THESE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, WE WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE CURRICULUM LATER THIS SPRING. THIS WILL INCLUDE ORDERING MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND LEARNING TOOLS AND PROVIDING TEACHERS WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF OPEN SIDE AS OUR SIXTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE CURRICULUM. SCIENCE CURRICULUM WOULD BEGIN NEXT FALL DURING THE 22 23 SCHOOL YEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND BEFORE WE GET INTO DISCUSSION, I'D LIKE TO LET QUINN KNOW THAT IT'S NINE O'CLOCK. IF YOU WANT TO GO HOME AND FINISH UP THE HOMEWORK YOU HAVE LEFT. YOU CAN DO THAT.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. OKAY? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT OUTSIDE. I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM ONCE AGAIN FOR THE PARENTS THAT THEY HAVE 30 DAYS

YES AND THAT'S AT THE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL CENTER AT THE MEDIA BY YOUR BLENDER MIDDLE SCHOOL, OKAY? THE CASTLE, UM, ADDRESS.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON THIS, AND THIS AGAIN IS JUST OPENING THE 30 DAY REVIEW. WE HAD A MOTION BY MRS BLADES AND A SECOND BY MR YOUNGBLOOD. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. MOTION CARRIES 50 AND OUR BOARD MEMBERS. STUDENT BOARD MEMBER IS
[BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL]
NOT HERE. OKAY SO BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL NEXT WE'LL TAKE A MOTION AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER TO MR GIORDANO. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2021 22 2ND INTERIM REPORT WITH A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. SECOND. MR GIORDANO. UM ONE SECOND HERE. START AND STOP THIS ONE MORE TIME. SURE, NO PROBLEM. SO WE HAD A MOTION BY MRS ANDERSON IN A SECOND TIME, MRS FREEMAN. OKAY SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT'S ALRIGHT HAPPENS. WELL, THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING. SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW WITH YOU ARE 21 22 2ND INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT. AND THIS REPORT REPRESENTS THE SECOND OFFICIAL REVISION TO THE DISTRICTS ADOPTED BUDGET THE BOARD HAD APPROVED BACK IN MID JUNE. AND IT ALSO INCORPORATES ALL THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 22 23. THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINS OUR ACTUAL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS THROUGH JANUARY, 31ST. AS WELL AS REVISED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FORECAST FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND THEN THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. AND SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.FIRST THING WE'RE GOING TO DO IS REVIEW WITH YOU. THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR 22 23. FOLLOWED BY THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED SINCE OUR FIRST INTERIM REPORT WAS APPROVED BACK IN MID DECEMBER. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING FORWARD AND THOSE NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO HERE'S A GLANCE AT THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND WE KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL WAS RELEASED BACK ON JANUARY 10TH. AND IT REPRESENTS THE START OF THE BUDGET CYCLE FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 22 23 WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR'S ANTICIPATING CONTINUED ECONOMIC RECOVERY, AS WELL AS CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE OVERALL LABOR MARKET. WE ALSO KNOW THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS FORECASTING STRONG REVENUE GROWTH FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ALSO A LARGE BUDGET SURPLUS FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR AS WELL. AND THEN BECAUSE SCHOOL FUNDING IN CALIFORNIA'S BASED OFF OF THOSE HIGHER STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS, THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOKS FOR SCHOOLS ALSO REMAINS POSITIVE FOR NEXT YEAR. WITH THAT SAID THE GOVERNOR'S EMPHASIS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME NEW STATE CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS. RATHER THAN BOOSTING LCF FUNDING BEYOND THE STATUTORY COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A POINT OF CONCERN FOR SOME OF THE EDUCATION COMMUNITY. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE STAGE GENERAL FUND REVENUE ESTIMATES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2021 THROUGH 22 23. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART. STATE REVENUES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. FROM 100 AND 74.6 BILLION UNDER THE CURRENT BUDGET ACT $190.7 BILLION UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND THIS REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF 16.1 BILLION. OR 9.2% INCREASE OVER THE CURRENT YEAR REVENUE ESTIMATE. AND IMPORTANTLY, THE GOVERNOR'S REVENUE ESTIMATES ARE MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THE ELIO OFFICE ESTIMATES THAT CAME OUT A FEW WEEKS AGO. IN FACT, THE HELIOS FORECASTING EVEN LARGER INCREASE IN STATE REVENUES NEXT YEAR. $26 BILLION OR 14.9% INCREASE, BRINGING THE TOTAL ESTIMATED REVENUES AT THE STATE LEVEL OF 200.6 BILLION. AS A RESULT, THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME REASON FOR OPTIMISM SURROUNDING THE GOVERNOR'S RELEASE OF HIS MAY REVISION PROPOSAL EXPECT TO BE OUT IN MID MAY. AND SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON THE PROP 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE FOR SCHOOLS. AND WITH THAT INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE COLLECTION SINCE THE STATE BUDGET ACT WAS APPROVED BACK IN JUNE OF THE PROP, 98 GUARANTEE IS UP AN
[02:00:05]
ESTIMATED $2.5 MILLION FOR 2021. 5.4 BILLION FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. 21 22 AND THEN THE GUARANTEES FORECAST INCREASE IN ADDITIONAL $2.9 BILLION IN 22 23 . THAT'S UP FROM THE REVISED CURRENT YEAR LEVEL. AND SO WHAT'S THE GOVERNOR PROPOSING TO DO WITH THE INCREASE IN THE PROP 98 GUARANTEE? WELL FIRST IN ORDER TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE INFLATIONARY PRESSURES FACING SCHOOLS. HE'S PROPOSING 3.3 BILLION AND THIS IS TO FIND A 5.33% STATUTORY COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT ON RL CFF FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR. HE'S ALSO PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL 295 MILLION AND THIS IS TO COVER A 5.33% COLA ON CERTAIN CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS THAT REMAIN FUNDED OUTSIDE THE L. C. F F SO, FOR EXAMPLE. SPECIAL EDUCATION, CHILD NUTRITION, STATE PRESCHOOL AND THE MANDATE BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMS THAT ALL RECEIVE THAT 5.33% COAL AS WELL. AND THEN THE GOVERNOR IS ALSO PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL $3.4 BILLION INVESTMENT, AND THIS IS IN THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM TO HELP ADDRESS STUDENT LEARNING LAWS. IN THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING FOR BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL AND THEN INTERCESSION OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY THE GOVERNOR'S CONTINUE WITH HIS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SCHOOL MEALS, AS WELL AS THE EXPANSION OF TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN. AND TO SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS HE'S PROPOSING 650 MILLION TO PRIDE. BOTHA FREE BREAKFAST AND FREE LUNCH FOR ALL STUDENTS NEXT YEAR, REGARDLESS OF INCOME QUALIFICATIONS. REGARDING THE TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM, GOVERNORS PROPOSING ANOTHER $640 MILLION AND THIS IS TO EXPAND TK FOR STUDENTS WHO TURNED FIVE YEARS OLD BETWEEN DECEMBER 2ND AND THEN FEBRUARY 2ND. OF THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR. AND SO FAR DISTRICT THE 5.33% COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF $7 MILLION IN RL CFF FUNDING NEXT YEAR AS COMPARED TO THE EARLIER ESTIMATES. WE PROVIDED THE BOARD BACK IN DECEMBER, WHEN WE PRESENTED THE FIRST INTERIM HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE STUDENT ATTENDANCE RATE THIS YEAR. THE NET INCREASE IN L C F F FUNDING IS ESTIMATED $2.7 MILLION 2.7 MILLION DOLLARS ABOVE OUR DECEMBER ESTIMATE. AND THIS INCLUDES AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 2.4 MILLION IN THE BASE GRANT AND ROUGHLY $300,000 INCREASE IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL GRANT. THE GOVERNOR IS ALSO PROPOSING ANOTHER $500 MILLION AND THIS IS IN ONGOING FUNDING FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. AND THIS WOULD INCREASE THE BASE RATE FROM 715 TO $820 PER AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. AND FOR OUR DISTRICT. THIS REPRESENTS AN ESTIMATED INCREASE OF 2.3 MILLION AND ONGOING FUNDING FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. AND THEN LASTLY, THIS IS IN RECOGNITION OF ALL THE FISCAL INSTABILITY FACING MANY DISTRICTS AS A RESULT OF DECLINING ENROLLMENT. GOVERNOR IS ALSO PROPOSING TO MODIFY THE CALCULATION ON HOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL BE FUNDED IN THE COMING YEAR. AND UNDER CURRENT LAW, SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE FUNDED OFF OF EITHER THE HIGHER THE CURRENT YEAR OR THE PRIOR YEAR. AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL TO ALLOW DISTRICTS THE ABILITY USE THE GREATER CURRENT YEAR PRIOR YEAR OR THE AVERAGE OF THREE PRIOR YEARS. 88 AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE DISTRICTS ADDITIONAL TIME TO JUST SPENDING TO DEAL WITH THE SIGNIFICANT DECLINES IN 88 THAT WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS DURING THE PANDEMIC. NEXT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES THAT OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST INTERIM REPORT WAS APPROVED BACK IN MID DECEMBER. AND SO HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE KEY CHANGES IN THIS CHART. YOU CAN SEE THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT AND THE CASTERS AND CALPERS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATES ESTIMATES FOR EACH OF THE NEXT TWO YEARS. AND THEN FOR 22 23. YOU CAN SEE THE COAL ESTIMATE HAS BEEN REVISED UP FROM 2.48% AT FIRST DINNER TO 5.33% UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. AND THEN LIKEWISE FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 24 THAT COAL ESTIMATES ALSO BEEN REVISED UP FROM 3.11% TO 3.61. AND THAT'S BASED ON THE LATEST ESTIMATES RECEIVED FROM SCHOOL SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA. AND YOU'LL NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO CHANGES CURRENTLY PROPOSED TO THE CASTERS AND CALPERS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATES, WHICH ARE SET TO INCREASE NEXT YEAR BY 2.18% AND THEN 3.19% PERSPECTIVE, RESPECTIVELY. AND SO THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE CHANGES IN OUR ENROLLMENT. AND OUR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE SINCE WE LAST REPORTED IN DECEMBER. AND SO FOR FISCAL YEARS 22 23 23 24. YOU CAN SEE THAT ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN REVISED DOWN. BUT THE ADDITIONAL 80 STUDENTS EACH YEAR AND THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THAT CONTINUE DECLINING ENROLLMENT. THAT WE'VE SEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.REGARDING OUR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. 80 HAS ALSO BEEN REVISED DOWN BY 404 STUDENTS AND 21 22 77 STUDENTS IN 22 23 153 STUDENTS IN 23 24. AND BASED ON THE HOLD HARMLESS PROTECTIONS
[02:05:02]
THAT WERE INCLUDING THE STATES ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. THE DISTRICT'S FUNDED 80 AND 21 22 IS BASED ON THE DISTRICT, 19 2020. P 2 80 A AND YOU'LL NOTE, THOUGH, THAT THIS PROTECTION DOES NOT EXTEND INTO THE 20 TO 22 FISCAL YEAR AND THAT'S BASED ON CURRENT LAW REQUIREMENTS. AS A RESULT IN 22 23. WE WILL FILL THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE LOSS IN 88 THAT WE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. ABSENT AND APPROVED, CHANGED AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE FUNDING FORMULA. IN THE BUDGET YEAR, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT OF THESE CHANGES A LITTLE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. NEXT WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE USE TO BUILD THE SECONDARY FINANCIAL REPORT. SO TAKING A LOOK AT DISTRICT ENROLLMENT GOING BACK ALL THE WAY TO 2014 15. OUR DISTRICTS EXPERIENCE ACCUMULATED DECLINE IN ANNUAL ENROLLMENT OF 2226 STUDENTS OVER THAT LAST SEVEN YEAR PERIOD. AND THE AVERAGE ANNUAL ROMANTIC LINE DURING THAT SAME TIME FRAME REPRESENTS A LOSS OF 318 STUDENTS EACH YEAR. AND THIS YEAR ENROLLMENT HAS DECLINED BY 653 STUDENTS OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. AND THEN REGARDING AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE, ALTHOUGH OUR 80 DECLINES FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN MUCH DEEPER THAN WE SAW DURING THE PRE PANDEMIC YEARS IN PERCENTAGE TERMS THAT DECLINE IN THE DISTRICT'S 88 HAS DECLINED A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THE AVERAGE EXPERIENCED BY OTHER DISTRICTS. HERE IN ORANGE COUNTY . AND SINCE 19 2020, THE AVERAGE 80 A DECLINE IN ORANGE COUNTY IS RUNNING ABOUT 9.14% VERSUS AN 8.22% DECLINED FOR OUR DISTRICT. AND THEN HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE USED TO BUILD THE SECOND INTERIM REPORT AND YOU CAN SEE FOR 21 22. WE'VE IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF ITEMS. SAME THING FOR 22 23. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE, BUT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW STARTING WITH THE SALARY LINES. IF YOU'RE TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SACKS REPORTS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET BOOK. YOU WOULD SEE THAT IT DOES INCLUDE THE INCREASED COSTS FOR STEPPING COLUMN. FOR ALL OF OUR CLASSIFIED CERTIFICATED MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES, IT ALSO SEE IN THE STATUTORY LINE ITEMS . THE INCREASED COSTS REFLECTED FOR THE CASTERS AND CALPERS PENSION SYSTEMS. THE STATUTORY COLA WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER ESTIMATED NEXT YEAR AT 5.33. AND THEN IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, WE ARE PROJECTING CONTINUED DECLINES IN ENROLLMENT EACH OF THE NEXT TWO YEARS AT 380 STUDENTS EACH YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT RL CFF FUNDING PROJECTIONS IN HERE IN A BIT WHEN WE REVIEW OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION. AND IN TERMS OF HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT COSTS ARE EXPECTED TO GO UP IN THE CURRENT YEAR BY 1.5% AND THAT'S BASED ON THE FINAL NEGOTIATED RATES WITH ALL OF OUR HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PROVIDERS AND THEN THE TWO OUT YEARS. PROJECTED INCREASES OF 6% EACH YEAR AND THAT'S BASED ON A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE COST TRENDS. INTERESTING. THERE'S PULL THIS UP PROGRAM. FOR SOME REASON, WE. AND I JUST GOT A NEW COMPUTER, TOO. I CAN'T DO THAT.LET'S GO BACK. RIGHT? IN SECOND. THAT ONE. HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION. AND AGAIN, THE SMALL TERRIER PROJECTION IS JUST FOCUSING IN ON THE UNRESTRICTED OPERATING ACCOUNTS, AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE INCLUDED THE CURRENT YEAR AND THEN THREE SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. AND SO FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, WE ARE FORECASTING A $7.2 MILLION OPERATING SURPLUS. AND THAT SURPLUS DOES REFLECT THE PROTECTIONS THAT WERE BUILT INTO THE STATE BUDGET ACT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. HOWEVER IN 22 23, YOU CAN SEE THAT SURPLUS DOES CHANGE TO A DEFICIT PROJECTED AT 4.5 MILLION , AND THAT'S DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF THOSE 88 HOLD HARMLESS PROTECTIONS. AND SO, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, WE WILL FEEL THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THAT LOSS IN A D. A. IN THE BUDGET YEAR, 22 23 AND THEN IN 23 24. YOU CAN SEE WE'RE FORECASTING A SMALL OPERATING SURPLUS OF JUST OVER $300,000 THE COLA IN THAT YEAR, IN ADDITION TO THE INCREASE IN THE STUDENT ATTENDANCE RATE THAT'S PROJECTED STILL MORE NORMALIZED LEVEL WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE PROJECTED DECLINING ENROLLMENT. THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE HAVE A SMALL OPERATING SURPLUS IN 23 24. THEN THOSE SAME ASSUMPTIONS HOLD TRUE. IN 24 25. AND THERE'S THREE KEY REASONS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT STRUCTURAL DEFICIT IN 22 23 INCLUDES THE EXPIRATION OF THE STATE'S 80 YEAR OLD, HARMLESS
[02:10:03]
PROTECTIONS AGAIN INITIATED DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE COST INCREASES FOR STEPPING COLUMN, HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS AND THEN PERSON STIRS PENSION OBLIGATIONS, WHICH CONTINUE TO GO UP ON AVERAGE ABOUT 3% PER YEAR OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD.AND THEN, LASTLY, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGE WE KNOW INCREASES IN SALARY WOULD ALSO LEAD TO INCREASES IN THOSE DEFICITS IN THE OUT YEARS AS WELL. AND THEN THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE TEMPORARY POSITIONS AND SERVICES THAT WERE ADDED WITH ALL THE COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING. AND IT'S AN IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THESE DOLLARS SEPARATELY TO ENSURE THAT OUR ONGOING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE NOT CHARGED ANY ONE TIME FUNDING SOURCES. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE FOR 21 22. WE HAVE ALLOCATED 13.4 MILLION, OF WHICH 7.8 MILLION IS CHARGED TO SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FOR 86 FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS. AS WELL AS SERVICE AND SOFTWARE AT 5.6 MILLION, ALL AIMED AT PROVIDING SERVICES DIRECTLY TOWARDS STUDENTS AND THEN TO 22 23. THAT ALLOCATION DROPS TO 7.3 MILLION. AND THEN DROPS AGAIN IN 23 24 TO 1.5 MILLION. AND THEN HERE'S A LOOK AT THE COMPONENTS OF OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE, HOW WE PROJECT TO CLOSE OUT THE YEAR. PROJECTED TO CLOSE WITH 81 POINT JUST UNDER 81.3 MILLION AND ARE COMBINED GENERAL FUND, OF WHICH 57.2 MILLION IS IN OUR UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTS AND THEN JUST OVER 24 MILLION IN OUR RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS. WE ALSO HAVE THAT LEGALLY RESTRICTED RESERVE HER CASH AND STORES SET ASIDE AT 260,000. AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO SEE WE SET ASIDE A RESERVE FOR ANY FUTURE OPERATING DEFICITS AT 40.2 MILLION, AS WELL AS RESERVED FOR TEXTBOOK ADOPTIONS AND THOSE RESTRICTED CATEGORY PROGRAMS SET ASIDE IT JUST OVER 24 MILLION AND THAT LEAVES US WITH THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES OF JUST OVER 16.7 MILLION, OR 5% OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TOUCH ON JUST SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING FORWARD. TONIGHT WE TALKED ABOUT DECLINING ENROLMENT. WE TALKED ABOUT THE DECLINING STUDENT ATTENDANCE RATE AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THAT STRUCTURAL DEFICIT IN 22 23 THAT RESULTS FROM THE EXPIRATION OF THE STATE'S 80 HOLD HARMLESS PROTECTIONS. WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OTHER CASH CONSIDERATIONS THAT IMPACT SCHOOLS MOVING FORWARD. AND SO THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS THOSE THREE PRIMARY COST DRIVERS THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL FACE IN THE COMING YEARS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART. COST PER STEP IN COLUMN MOVEMENT, PERSON STIRS PENSION OBLIGATIONS AND HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS. ARE GOING UP ON AVERAGE ABOUT 3% PER YEAR OVER THAT FORECAST PERIOD. AND ON THE OTHER HAND, OR ELSE IF BASE FUNDING EXPECTED TO INCREASE AT LESS THAN 2, ON AVERAGE OVER THAT SAME PERIOD.
AND SO, WITH EXPENDITURES FORECAST TO RISE FASTER THAN OPERATING REVENUES. THAT'S THAT STRUCTURAL DEFICIT THAT EMERGES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IN 20 TO 23. AND THAT WOULD CONTINUE ABSENT EITHER ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM THE STATE MODIFICATIONS TO THE FUNDING FORMULA AND OR REDUCTIONS WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND THEN FINALLY, WE'RE JUST GOING TO WRAP UP WITH A REVIEW OF OUR BUDGET TIMELINE. AND SO AGAIN.
AH BACK IN MID DECEMBER, THE BOARD HAD TAKEN ACTION AND APPROVED THE DISTRICT'S FIRST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT. AND THEN IN FEBRUARY, THE BOARD TOOK ACTION TO PROVED ARE 21 22 EL CAP SUPPLEMENT, AND I WAS A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. THIS EVENING. WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE SECOND INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT. AND THEN IN EARLY JUNE, WILL PRESENT THE PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT THE EL CAP AND THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOLLOWED IN LATE JUNE WILL PRESENT BOTH THE L CAPTAIN ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THE BOARD'S FINAL APPROVAL. AND THAT ADOPTED BUDGET WILL BE BASED OFF OF THE GOVERNORS MAY REVISION PROPOSAL AGAIN EXPECT TO BE OUT IN MID MAY THAT WILL INCLUDE TAX COLLECTIONS THROUGH THE END OF APRIL ACTUAL TAX COLLECTIONS. AS WELL AS UPDATED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FORECASTS FOR THE OUT YEARS AS WELL. AND SO THAT PROVIDES US OUR BEST GUESS OF WHAT THE STATE'S BUDGET WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE COMING YEAR, AND THAT'S WHAT DISTRICTS TYPICALLY USED TO BUILD THEIR BUDGETS FOR THE ADOPTED BUDGETS. AND SO WITH THAT OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS. NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE THAT. OKAY, SO WITH THAT WE WILL TAKE A VOTE. WE HAD A MOTION BY MRS ANDERSON IN THE SECOND MIND, MRS FREEMAN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR HIGH MOTION CARRIES 50. AND NOW WE MOVED TO

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. OKAY SEEING NONE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT VOTE AS WELL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR ALRIGHT? MOTION CARRIES 50 AND I DIDN'T CALL THAT OUT. MOTION BY MR YOUNGBLOOD SECOND BY MRS ANDERSON MOTION CARRIES FIVE OH, OKAY? AND THAT BRINGS US NOW TO[STAFF PRESENTATION AND BOARD DISCUSSION]
STAFF PRESENTATION BOARD DISCUSSION WITH OUR A THROUGH G COMPLETION GRANT UM AND DR LINDA ADAMSON. THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN. IT'S OUR PLEASURE TO PRESENT YOU THIS EVENING. A COPY OF PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA'S A THROUGH G COMPLETION IMPROVEMENT GRAND PLAN. THIS PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY ASSEMBLY BILL 13. OH IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO DISTRICTS TO HELP INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS, PARTICULARLY R, AND DUPLICATED STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH A THROUGH G ELIGIBILITY. THE A THROUGH G COMPLETION IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM REQUIRES US TO PROVIDE A DRAFT BY APRIL 1ST AND THEN HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO COLLECT FEEDBACK FROM OUR EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY. IN ORDER TO MEET THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATUTE. WE'RE PLEASED TO SUBMIT AN INITIAL PLAN WHICH WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD FOR YOUR INPUT THIS EVENING. A COPY OF THE PLAN HAS ALSO BEEN POSTED TO THE FIRST PAGE OF OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE. A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE AT OUR APRIL MEETING, ALLOWING FOR PUBLIC INPUT. WE WILL AMEND THE PLAN BASED ON FEEDBACK RECEIVED THIS EVENING AND AT APRIL'S PUBLIC HEARING SESSION AND INTEND TO BRING IT BACK OFF FINAL SUBMISSION IN JUNE OF 2022. I DO WANT TO MAKE MENTION THAT SINCE PROVIDING YOU WITH COPIES OF THE PLAN AND SLIDES LAST FRIDAY, WHEN THE SPECIFIC ALLOCATION HAD NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. WE HAVE SINCE RECEIVED THE FINAL ALLOCATION, WHICH WILL BE REPORTED IN THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. THE COPY OF THE PLAN YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU STILL REFERS TO THE ORIGINAL ALLOCATIONS, WHICH WE WILL REVISE PRIOR TO APRIL MEETING. IT'S MY PLEASURE AT THIS TIME TO INTRODUCE TO THIS EVENING DIRECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOL MRS GINA REGULAR WHO'LL BE PRESENTING AN OVERVIEW OF THE A THREE G COMPLETION, GRAND PLAN AND PROGRAM, MRS AG ALERT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BACK MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR L. SASSER EXECUTIVE CABINET AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IS MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING. OUR INITIAL DRAFT OF THE HDG COMPLETION IMPROVEMENT GRANT PLANS. THE 80 G COLLEGE INTEREST ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE A SEQUENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL COURSES THAT STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE WITH A GRADE OF C OR BETTER TO BE MINIMALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.AND CAL STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS AND ALSO A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS OF MOST OF THE NATION'S COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THE ENERGY COMPLETION IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS TWO DISTRICTS TO HELP INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS , PARTICULARLY IN DUPLICATED PUPILS WHO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH A DIGI ELIGIBILITY. THE ENERGY COMPLETION. GRANT IS COMPRISED OF TWO PARTS. THE FIRST IS THE ACCESS GRANT. WE HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED $1,054,000 TO BE SPENT THROUGH THE 2025 26 SCHOOL YEAR.

EACH HIGH SCHOOL ALSO RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL SECTION WHERE ACADEMIC INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT CAN BE PROVIDED TO UN DUPLICATED STUDENTS TO PROMOTE A DIGI COMPLETION. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT GUIDANCE PRACTICES AT EACH MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORT AND PROMOTE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. SCHOOL LEADERS WILL WORK WITH THEIR ACCOUNTING AND GUIDANCE TEAMS TO EVALUATE AND REFINE THEIR PRACTICES. PAPER DOT CO. HAS PROVIDED TUTORING SERVICES TO OUR STUDENTS AS A MEANS OF INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT. THIS GRANT WOULD ALLOW US TO CONTINUE THE CONTRACT FOR THIS HIGHLY USED SERVICE.

THE REMAINDER OF THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED TO COVER THE REMAINING COST OF OFFERING CREDIT RECOVERY OPPORTUNITIES THAT SCHOOL SITES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR THROUGH APEX ONLINE LEARNING. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. I WILL JUST COMMENT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS OBVIOUSLY, IN WHICH WE CAN REALLY DO A LOT TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO HAVE HAD DIFFICULTIES FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, AND THERE'S IT'S QUITE A BROAD BRUSH. AS FAR AS THE GROUPS AND SO FORTH. IT WILL BE AIDED IN THIS MATTER SO VERY ENCOURAGED THAT WE'VE HAD THIS MONEY AVAILABLE. I'D LIKE TO JUST ADD THAT AS I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS FINDING TUTORING SERVICES IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE. PEOPLE COME IN AND TUTOR OUR KIDS SO HAVING THE PAPER .COM WILL BE A GREAT EDITION FOR ANOTHER YEAR. JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. UM. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE SUPPORTS FOR THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS THAT WOULD YOU GUYS WILL BE OFFERING THROUGH THIS GRANT? YEAH SO, UM, THE ONE THAT WAS MENTIONED REGARDING EXTRA SUPPORTS. CURRENTLY WE DO HAVE COORDINATORS OF THE SCHOOL SITES , BUT WE'RE HOPING TO ALLOW FOR MORE TIME FOR THE COORDINATORS TO GIVE 1 TO 1 SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS SO MUCH LIKE OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS HAVE IPS AND THEY HAVE A CASE CARRIER THAT WORKED WITH THEM TO HELP THEM DEVELOP THEIR PLANS TO MEET THEIR GOALS. THAT WOULD BE THE INTENT OF THIS IS TO GIVE MORE PERSONALIZED ATTENTION TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. THEY OFTEN HAVE A HARD TIME FITTING ALL THEIR CLASSES UNDER THEIR SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF THE NEEDS OF THEIR THEIR ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSES. TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE. AND SO THIS WILL ALLOW SOME PLANNING, ALONG WITH SUMMER SCHOOL AND SOME OF THE OTHER OPTIONS TO ENCOURAGE THOSE STUDENTS TO MEET THEIR GOALS.THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY GREAT .

AND THIS IS THE CHILDREN THAT YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND SO IT REALLY IS ABOUT PROVIDING STRATEGIES AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY MODELING, YOU KNOW WAYS TO WORK IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS AND RESOLVE THE CONFLICT TO COME TO AGREEMENT. BOTH CONSENSUS, AND SO IT'S. IT IS SPECIFIC FOR IPM MEETINGS THAT YOU KNOW IT'S COMING. THAT'S WHY IT'S SPECIAL AID FUNDING. DID I MISS ANYTHING? THIS IS GREAT. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. YES.

[34. Approve the 30-month purchase of the supplementary Lexia Learning Systems.]
THE 30 MONTH PURCHASE OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY LEXI A LEARNING SYSTEM. I'LL SECOND. GREAT. GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND DOCTOR ADAMSON. IT. WAS THERE A QUESTION QUESTIONS FIRST. OKAY, QUESTIONS FIRST. SORRY. SO AS I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE ALEXIA LEARNING SYSTEMS IT DEALS WITH, UM. THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, AND THIS IS AN ONLINE COMPUTER PROGRAM. AND SO I KIND OF DID SOME RESEARCH WITH THEM. YOU KNOW, TEACHERS THAT TEACH THIS AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT A COMPUTER PROGRAM WAS A GOOD PROGRAM. FOR THESE ENGLISH LEARNERS THEY FELT LIKE THE APPROACH SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE MORE IN PERSON AND READING AND OBVIOUSLY SPEAKING, UM AND SO I WAS I KEPT GETTING DIRECTED TO THIS PROGRAM CALLED EL ACHIEVE. AND IT'S BEEN USED BY OTHER DISTRICTS, AND IT'S NOT A COMPUTER PROGRAM. AND SO I WAS WONDERING IF SINCE THERE WAS THIS CONCERN IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO HOLD OFF ON THIS FOR THIS MONTH AND MAYBE LOOK INTO WHICH IS NOT A COMPUTER PROGRAM, UM AND POSSIBLY COMPARE THE TWO AND SEE IF THIS WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY JUST BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO SAID COMPUTER PROGRAMS AREN'T THE BEST WAY FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN. IT'S ESPECIALLY. IN THE AREA OF LANGUAGES TO ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, SPEAK AND COMMUNICATE AND INTERACT. AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE REASON FOR ME PULLING THIS WAS JUST I KNOW HER PARENTS DO NOT WANT ANOTHER COMPUTER PROGRAM. RIGHT I WILL DEFINITELY LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO L ACHIEVE AND OUR STAFF WILL DO THAT. ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW THE THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM LEXI. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO ROSETTA STONE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, AND WE'VE USED IT, YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS. I THINK THE INTENT OF THIS NUMBER ONE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC FOR OUR NEWCOMERS. SO YOU KNOW I'LL BRAND YOU. A NEWCOMER IS IDENTIFIED AS SOMEONE WHO'S WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, YOU KNOW, IN ENGLISH LEARNER WHO'S JOINED US A VERY LIMITED, YOU KNOW, ENGLISH. BUT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF UTILIZING THIS PROGRAM IS INTENDED TO REALLY YOU KNOW, SMALL CHUNKS OF TIME ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10 TO 15 MINUTES AT A TIME, BUT IT'S INTENDED TO REALLY ALLOW FOR THE TEACHER THE TEACHER'S WORKING WITH WITH THE ENGLISH LEARNERS IN THEIR CLASS IN SMALL GROUPS TO GIVE MORE ONE ON ONE TIME.WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN THEY'RE WORKING IN THOSE SMALL GROUPS. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY HARD FOR THE REST OF THE CLASS TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY AT THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM. IT REALLY GUIDES THE STUDENTS THROUGH AND GIVE THEM DIRECTION AT REALLY IT IS INTERACTIVE IN THE SENSE THAT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE SPEAKING. THEY'RE RESPONDING VERY OFTEN. IT WILL HAVE YOU KNOW THEY'LL BE USING A HEADPHONES SO THERE, YOU KNOW, INTERACTING WITH A SPEAKER, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE PROGRAM ITSELF , AND THAT JUST ALLOWS THEM TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE TEACHER IS WORKING MORE ONE ON ONE WITH A SMALLER GROUP. SO THE INTENTION OF IT IS TO ALLOW FOR ABSOLUTE MORE, YOU KNOW, MORE FACE TIME. ONE ON LANGUAGE. WE KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW STUDENTS LEARN BEST. BUT WHEN YOU'VE GOT A GROUP OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE EVEN EVEN IF IT'S NINE OR 10 STUDENTS IN A CLASS, IT'S HARD TO GIVE THEM THAT INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION. IF THEN, DON'T HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY TO THE SIDE. SO 10 TO 15 MINUTES IS ALL THAT'S INTENDED AT A TIME AND SO YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY WELL YOU KNOW, IT'S INTENDED FOR THE STUDENTS WHO WORK AROUND MOVE THROUGH STATIONS, SO THEY'RE GETTING THAT ONE ON ONE TIME. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. TO HELP CAN WE STILL LOOK INTO THE L ACHIEVES? DEFINITELY LOOK INTO IT. OF COURSE. YES WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. SO COULD WE IMPLEMENT? BOTH WOULD THAT BE POSSIBILITY? WE WILL. WE WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO IT AND WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. YOU KNOW, THE NEXT MAN IN A BOARD UPDATE AS WELL RESEARCHED, APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND THINGS THAT YOU FIND OUT THERE WHEN YOU'RE WANDERING LEARNED A LOT OF SPANISH WORKING COUNTY JAIL TELL YOU THAT MUCH. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT ONE? OKAY GREAT. SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE, AND
[37. Approve the Playworks Contract for Recess Reboot with Golden Elementary for one week scheduled in the beginning of May 2022.]
OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 50. IT BRINGS US TO NUMBER 37. I THINK EMOTION TO APPROVAL. PLAYWORKS CONTRACT FOR RECESS REBOOT WITH GOLDEN ELEMENTARY FOR ONE WEEK SCHEDULED IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2022. OKAY AND ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? YES SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO ME BY SOME OF THE GOLDEN COMMUNITY. AND THEY DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT WHAT THIS WAS SAYING WAS THAT THEY WANTED $12,000 TO I AM. IT SAYS AFTER THE PANDEMIC MISSING TIME AT SCHOOL, MANY STUDENTS[02:35:07]
HAVE FORGOTTEN OR NEED TO LEARN THE RULES OF PLAYGROUND GAMES WHEN RECESSES IN ORGANIZED BEHAVIORS INCREASE. AND THEN IT ALSO SAYS WILL CONSULT, TRAIN AND LAUNCH STRUCTURE GAMES AT RECESS. THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS DON'T THAT'S SO STRUCTURED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DAY, THEY WOULD LIKE THEIR KIDS BE ABLE TO GO AND PLAY FREELY AT RESOURCE AND HAVE UNSTRUCTURED PLAY, AND I NOTICED THAT THEY GOLDEN. I THINK IT WAS THEY HAVE, LIKE STEM MATERIALS THEM FUNDAMENTALS WITH LEGO MATERIALS, AND SO I WAS JUST BECAUSE. KIDS JUST LIKE TO GO PLAY AND JUST TRYING TO BE FREE . THAT WAS SOME OF THE PARENTS THAT THAT WAS THEIR CONCERN, SO I WOULD JUST SAY NO TO THIS AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN GIVE THE KIDS LIKE SOMETHING MORE TAN. YOU KNOW SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT THEY CAN DO IN THE CLASSROOM AND JUST KIND OF LET THEM AT RECESS. JUST GO PLAY AND DO WHAT THEY WANT TO BE FREE, I GUESS. WELL AND DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ENTER THAT NOW? OKAY GO AHEAD. ALL RIGHT. WELL I THINK I'LL GO AND RESPOND TO THAT FIRST, AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE HEARD A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT THE PROGRAM AS WELL. YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST THROUGH PUBLIC COMMENT THIS EVENING, AND MY FAVORITE COMMENT WAS WELL, YOU KNOW, DO WE NEED TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO PLAN? OF COURSE NOT. I THINK AND EVEN THAT PIECE, BUT I THINK YES. YOU KNOW, AFTER THE PANDEMIC, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD STUDENTS COMING BACK, AND I THINK CONFLICT RESOLUTION WAS WE DID NOTICE THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN MORE OF A CHALLENGE FOR STUDENTS AND A LITTLE BIT MORE OF, YOU KNOW, SORT OF RAISED EMOTIONS. YOU KNOW, THAT CAME OUT OF THE RESULTS AT ONE THING. I DO WANT TO SPECIFY THAT THIS THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES AND THEY STILL HAVE THAT CHOICE.YOU KNOW? ABSOLUTELY WE, YOU KNOW IF IT'S STUDENT THAT IF SOCCER IS THE GAME THAT'S BEING OFFERED ON THE FIELD, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO PLAY SOCCER. THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY TO DO SO, YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY OBSERVED PLAYWORKS. YOU KNOW, I PLAY. WE'VE HAD IT AT SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOLS. YOU KNOW, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, EVEN AS A PRINCIPAL MYSELF, I'D EVEN LOOKED INTO AND CONSIDERED IT, YOU KNOW, TO ADD AN OFFER IT AS A PROGRAM AT OUR SCHOOL. I THINK THE BENEFIT FOR IT IS IT JUST ALLOWS FOR CONSISTENCY THAT ALLOWS FOR THAT STRUCTURED PLAY FOR STUDENTS WHO MAYBE STRUGGLE TO, YOU KNOW, IN IN FREE PLAY TIMES, YOU KNOW OFTEN THAT IS WHEN BEHAVIORS WILL ARISE AND BECAUSE THERE IS LESS STRUCTURE AND WHAT I HAVE NOTICED, AND I THINK THE WHAT THE BENEFIT YOU KNOW TO THIS PROGRAM IS THAT THEY STAFF COMES OUT THERE SPEND, YOU KNOW, FOUR DAYS A WEEK AND THEY'RE THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRAINING AT THE STAFF IS GOING TO BE OUT THERE WITH THE STUDENTS AND VERY OFTEN THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE TEACHERS THAT MAYBE RUDD SUPERVISORS WHO YOU KNOW, AUNT, YOU KNOW, DON'T HAVE THAT SAME TRAINING AS THAT AS OUR TEACHERS , AND THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF TURNOVER THERE. AND SO YOU KNOW THAT TRAINING AND ABILITY FOR US TO HAVE THAT CONSISTENCY. BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE STAFF. THEY ALSO DO A PEER MODELING VERSION. AND SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY SELECT AND THEY BRING IN. YOU KNOW A GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO WILL THEN BE TRAINED TO SERVE AS CONFLICT. THEY HELP IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION, SO NOT ONLY IS THERE A LEADERSHIP COMPONENT, BUT YOU KNOW, THE STUDENTS OUT THERE CONSTANTLY THEMSELVES AND WHAT WE FOUND IS AND IT'LL BE THE OLDEST STUDENTS AT GOLDEN. IT WOULD BE THE SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS, BUT THEY'RE OUT THERE AND ACTUALLY INVOLVED IN LEADERSHIP PIECES. BUT YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, LEARNING THE RULES OF THE GAME BUT HELPING ONCE AGAIN AND IN LEARNING THE SKILLS OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION THEMSELVES. SO YOU KNOW, SERVING AS PEER MODELS. SO THAT'S REALLY THE BENEFIT OF IT, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SEE IT ON THE PLAYGROUND, IT'S UM IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. YOU KNOW, YOU JUST YOU REALLY DO IT. YOU'VE GOT MAYBE 10 DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT STUDENTS CAN SELECT, JOIN OR NOT. UM I JUST RECALL IT AS A AS A PRINCIPAL, I YOU KNOW, EVERY AREA SPRING, YOU KNOW, FIFTH GRADERS, WE'D END UP HAVING TO TAKE SOCCER AWAY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, JUST THE TENSIONS WOULD GET SO GREAT AND THAT'S WHERE WE WERE GETTING. YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD BE ARGUMENTS AND FIGHTING ON THE FIELDS AND YOU KNOW, IT REALLY GOT TO THAT. BUT PLAYWORKS HAS A PROCESS INVESTMENT STRATEGY THAT THEY IT'S GENIUS THE WAY THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY HELPED THE STUDENTS CREATE THE TEAM OFTEN. YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE 15 MINUTES OF RECESS HAS SPENT A STUDENTS ARE SELECTING THEIR TEAMS, AND THEY DON'T EVEN GET TO PLAY. SO THEY JUST GOT THESE. REALLY YOU KNOW, REALLY SMART STRATEGIES IN PLACE, AND IT'S NOT INTENDED THAT THERE THERE THE ENTIRE TIME, EITHER THAT THE IDEA IS YOU BRING THEM IN. AH. TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE TRAINED AND THEN YOU KNOW, AFTER A YEAR, THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THEY CAN LEAVE AND WHAT'S IN PLACES THE STUDENTS AND STUFF WHO CAN, YOU KNOW? RUN IT WITHOUT THE PROGRAM ITSELF. I JUST KIND OF HAVE TO COMMENTS. SORRY KAREN. DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY EARLIER THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE CAMPUS EARLIER IN THE YEAR THAT GOLDEN, UM I WALKED OUT AT RECESS TIME WITH THE PRINCIPAL. AND, UM THAT WAS IDENTIFIED THEN AS AN ISSUE BECAUSE SOME OF THE CHILDREN HAD NOT BEEN ON CAMPUS BEFORE, IF THEY WERE IN THE YOUNGER GRADES AND JUST LEARNING SOME OF THE MORE BASIC RULES OF HOW TO PLAY AND BEHAVE, NOT RUN CRAZILY. I REMEMBER THE NUMBERS OF TIMES MAKING SURE A STUDENT WALK AND SAID WITH NICE KINDNESS, OF
[02:40:03]
COURSE, BUT, UM, JUST BASIC RULES. AND THEN, OF COURSE, EXTENDING FURTHER AS YOU EXPLAINED, BUT THAT WAS IDENTIFIED EARLY THIS YEAR AT THAT SITE. I WAS AS I SAID OUT THERE OBSERVING. IT WAS GREAT. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE STUDENTS OUT THERE DOING THAT AGAIN PLAYING AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE AREN'T ANY BOUNDARIES PLACED UPON THEM AS TO HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PLAY. BUT THERE WILL BE AS YOU'VE INDICATED SOME SOME SYSTEMS PUT IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM RULES AND SO FORTH , ARE THERE SO THAT AS YOU SAY, NO FIGHTS, NO ONE ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED SOMEONE ELSE. THEY'RE TEARING ACROSS THE BLACKTOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THANK YOU.OKAY MY COMMENT WAS GOING TO BE, UM, I WORK WITH A YOUTH GROUP, MY CHURCH AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING AFTER THE PANDEMIC. UM WE STARTED HAVING IN PERSON ACTIVITIES AGAIN. AND THE ONE THING I NOTICED WAS, THESE KIDS DID NOT KNOW HOW TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. YOU KNOW? TAKE TURNS. AND IT WAS KIND OF REALLY, YOU KNOW, UM ALL OF A SUDDEN I'VE SOMETHING I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT I WAS HAVING TO YOU KNOW, MODEL HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE HOW TO PLAY TOGETHER. YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF WHAT THEY COULD DO. UM IT WAS . IT WAS THE MOST BIZARRE THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED AND THEN IN OUR ACTIVITIES THAT WE PLANNED WITH THE KIDS. WE KIND OF MADE THAT, UM CAUSE IT'S PURE LEADERS. WE KIND OF MADE THAT KIND OF A GOAL THAT WE HAD ACTIVITIES AND KIND OF REVIEW, NOT REVIEWED, BUT HOW TO INCORPORATE HOW TO RE TEACH THE KIDS TO INTERACT AND THE OTHER THING. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THIS. THIS MONEY IS, UM THROUGH THE S R THREE FUNDS, WHICH WE GAVE TO THE SCHOOLS TO CHOOSE.
WELL THEY FELT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. AND UM, THEY I BELIEVE THEY INVOLVE THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. IS THAT CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. AND SO I THINK IF THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE NEED IF THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE NEED THAN I THINK THAT WE SHOULD HONOR IT RIGHT? FOR THAT. OKAY? ALL RIGHT WITH THAT WE'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR HIGH AND OPPOSED. OKAY, GREAT. ALRIGHT. THAT MOTION CARRIES 50 SO WE'LL MOVE TO NUMBER 39. WE'LL START WITH THE MOTION ON THAT. OH, WAIT. I'M SORRY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE BREAK.
AND THEN WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK. PERFECT ALRIGHT. THANK YOU ALL WE'RE GONNA GET BACK TO WORK
[39. Approve the agreement with Elevo for March 14, 2022 - June 16, 2022 for Topaz Elementary. ]
HERE. THANK YOU FOR THE QUICK BREAK. AND THAT WILL MOVE US NOW INTO CONSENT. WHICH NUMBER ARE WE? ON NUMBER 39. I WILL START WITH EMOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LBO FROM MARCH 14TH 2022 THROUGH JUNE 16TH 2020 TWO FOR TOPAZ ELEMENTARY. AND I BELIEVE IT'S FOR TO PEASANT TIME. BYZANTINES. IT IS YOUR RIGHT. YES. SECOND OKAY? OCEAN AND SECOND. MRS BLAKE? YES I PULLED THIS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE . THE PRICE TAG WAS $65,000 FOR THREE MONTHS OF AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, AND IT WAS JUST SLIGHT. IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT CONCERNING BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THIS TYPE OF MONEY, I JUST HOPE THAT IT WOULD IMPACT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL AND NOT JUST AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S JUST LIKE A SELECT GROUP. UM AND AH, I WAS ALSO WONDERING BECAUSE I'VE MET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS LIKE THE COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND THEY'VE GONE ON TO, YOU KNOW, BECOME TEACHERS. AND SO I'M WONDERING WHY WE'RE NOT UTILIZING. INSTEAD OF SPENDING $65,000 WHY WE'RE NOT UTILIZING OUR STAFF AND TRYING TO HAVE THEM BECOME INNOVATIVE WITH WITH THIS STUFF AND LIKE EQUIPPED THEM FOR LIKE WHEN THEY BECOME TEACHERS. AND I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION AS WELL . TRUSTEE BLADES AND ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE VERY REASON WE WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS PROGRAM FOR JUST THESE TWO SCHOOL SITES BECAUSE I RUBBED KASAB'S OUR DIRECTOR WHO OVERSEES OUR ACES PROGRAMS, WHICH IS WHAT WE OFFERED OUR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS, AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET STAFFING. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THE FINDING. THIS IS SPECIFIC. IT'S THROUGHOUT RACES GRAND, SO IT IS. YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNDED FINDING THAT WE RECEIVE SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR TITLE. ONE SCHOOLS. AND IT ISN'T TAINTED.WE'VE BEEN TRIED. WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO INCREASE THEIR ENROLLMENT WITH IT, BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN STAFF AVAILABLE. SO THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM THEY ALSO PROVIDE THE STAFF WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE AND OFFER FOR MORE STUDENTS TO BE THERE AFTER SCHOOL AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS IN THE SPORTS PROGRAM. BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT AT THE OTHER TITLE. ONE SCHOOLS AS WELL. IT'S JUST THAT THESE TWO MAY STOPPING AS AN ISSUE, OKAY AND THEN BECAUSE SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S TALKS ABOUT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. AND SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN, SO EVERYONE
[02:45:01]
FREAKS OUT A LITTLE BIT IF THEY DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND IT'S FROM CASTLE OR CASTLE. WHATEVER UM, THE LEADER OF IS SOCIAL MISSION, SO CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS GOING TO THE PUSHED INTO A SPORTS PROGRAM. SO OLIVER, ACTUALLY THEY FORMER NAME WAS SPORTS FOR SCHOOLS, AND WE, YOU KNOW, HAD THEM AND ACTUALLY THROUGHOUT ACES PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS BACK. THEY'VE SINCE CHANGED THE NAME TO HER LIVER, AND THEY HAVE ADDED THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LISTENING. IT'S A COMPLETELY SEPARATE PROGRAMMING AT THE ACTUALLY ADDED IT AS A REQUEST BY MANY DISTRICTS. AND SO WE ARE ONLY WE ARE ANY CONTRACTING WITH THEM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SPORTS PROGRAM, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH HIM IN PREVIOUS YEARS.I KNOW THAT'S ON THEIR WEIGHT. SADNESS IS SOMETHING SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, SINCE ADDED TO THE PROGRAM, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE CONTRACT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH THEM.
WE'RE NOT IN THAT WE'RE JUST AFTER SITTING UP CORRECT, AND IT'S JUST SPORTS. YEAH AND ACTUALLY EVEN. YOU KNOW, I CAN PROVIDE EVEN A SAMPLE, YOU KNOW SCHEDULE OF WHAT THE DAY WOULD LOOK LIKE. I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS IT SPORTS. IT'S INTERACTION AND ACTIVITY. OKAY, WELL, GOOD.
THANK YOU. OKAY ANY MORE COMMENTS OKAY WITH THAT? WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
[40. Approve the agreement with Yoga Moodra for staff wellness from April 2022 - November 2022.]
SAY AYE, AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 50. AND THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER 40. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH YOGA. BLUE DROP OUR STUFF WELLNESS FOR APRIL. 2022 THROUGH NOVEMBER 22. SECOND. OKAY MR ANGLER. SO SO I KIND OF PULLED THIS AFTER AFTER RESEARCHING IT , AND I REALIZED THAT STAFF AND TEACHERS ALIKE OR STRESSED AND, YOU KNOW, NEED, YOU KNOW SOME SOME FORM OF EXIT. I TOTALLY GET THAT. BUT I THOUGHT $3500 FOR YOGA WAS MAYBE A LITTLE EXTREME , I THINK. AH WE COULD PROBABLY AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S S OR THREE MONEY. SO IT'S ALREADY THERE. I TOTALLY GET THAT, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW IT, UM WE COULD USE THAT MONEY AND OTHER PLACES AND MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE BENEFICIAL. I'M NOT SURE THAT EVERY TEACHER OUT THERE WOULD OR STAFF WOULD BE DOING YOGA. BUT, UM I JUST THOUGHT I THINK WE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE FRUGAL WITH THAT MONEY. AND ALSO TO WHERE WOULD IS THIS LIKE AFTER SCHOOL AFTER WORK. YEAH SO IT WOULD BE IT WOULD TAKE PLACE OFF TO AFTER WORK. AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. YOU KNOW, A WEEK SO THEY WOULD BE OUT. IT WOULD BE AT A TIME THAT BOTH CLASSIFIED AND CERTIFICATED TEACHERS AND ARE CLASSIFIED STAFF WOULD BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED THE EXACT TIME. YES YES. I THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA REALLY DEPEND ON THE INTEREST IN WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST CONVENIENT TIME IS FOR EVERYONE . BUT IT WOULD BE WE'VE IDENTIFIED OF SCHOOL SITE WHERE YOU KNOW WE WOULD BE HOLDING THE CLASSES AND THE FINDING ITSELF. I MEAN, IT GOES SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS PAYING. YOU KNOW THE INSTRUCTORS THEY'D BE COMING OUT AND WORKING WITH THE STAFF WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DOING IT. IT'S REALLY JUST ANOTHER MEANS OF, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADDED, YOU KNOW, WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DID THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND THAT THERE'S BEEN SUCH A FROST OFF. THERE'S BEEN SUCH A WONDERFUL HIGH PARTICIPATION RATE. AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY, THIS IS CAN AS EDITOR REQUEST FROM OUR STAFF TO REALLY JUST HELP THEM DE STRESS AND YOU KNOW, JUST COPE WITH, YOU KNOW THE ADDED, YOU KNOW THAT THE STRESSES OF DAILY LIFE AND TEACHING AND I THINK WE PUT IT THERE SPECIFICALLY IN THE MEMO, BUT YOU KNOW, AS THEY'RE WORKING AND WITH, YOU KNOW, STUDENTS OF THEIR INCREASED IN OUR EMOTIONAL AND LEVELS AND AT THE STRESS THAT IN TRAUMA THAT THEY'RE SEEING AND WORKING WITH THEIR STUDENTS. I MEAN, THAT ADDS TO THEIR DAILY STRESSES TEACHERS, BUT IT'S ULTIMATELY JUST ANOTHER MEANS AND ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO HELP THEM RELAX AND THE STRESS AND THERE'S THIS NORMAL TO PAY FOR STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENS AFTER WORK. WELL IT'S THIS IS THROUGH THE USE OF THREE FUNDS. ONE OF THE CATEGORIES THAT YOU KNOW, WE DID A SIGN WAS, YOU KNOW SPECIFICALLY FOR, YOU KNOW, WELLNESS OF STAFF AND STUDENTS AS WELL. SO THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, A CATEGORY THAT WE PUT ASIDE. SO YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE UTILIZING IT SPECIFICALLY, YOU KNOW FROM THAT LINE ITEM, YOU KNOW WHERE IT WAS, BUT TYPICALLY, THAT WOULD NOT BE UP THAT IT WOULDN'T EVEN QUITE A FIVE FOR GENERAL FUNDS NORMALLY, YEAH. SO IT'S TWO TIMES A WEEK. EVERY WEEK. CORRECT YES, AND WE'RE LOOKING ROUGHLY AT SEVEN MONTHS CORRECT BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER, $500 A MONTH WHICH 125 A WEEK FOR TWO YOGA CLASSES. I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE SPECIFIC YEAH, I'M JUST COST FOR THAT. BUT IT'S AROUND THAT RIGHT? YEAH THAT'S PRETTY GOOD FOR A YOGA INSTRUCTOR. THEY'RE CERTIFIED. YEAH. DOWN. OKAY? AND YOU'VE HAD A PRETTY GOOD REQUEST FOR THIS TYPE OF CLASSES. THAT WHAT I UNDERSTAND. DEFINITELY. YES, YES. SO LET ME[02:50:01]
ASK YOU A QUESTION. IS THERE S OR THREE FUNDS FOR LIKE IF SOMEBODY WANTS TREADMILLS OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF CLASSES, OR IS IT JUST GONNA BE YOGA? LIKE ARE WE OPENING UP THE DOOR THAT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT. THE THING ABOUT THE YOGA IS IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ANY ANY EQUIPMENT, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT YOU BRING YOUR YOGA MAT AND YOU JUST REALLY NEED A ROOM, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO OFFER IT, SO YEAH. OKAY ALL RIGHT WITH THAT. LET'S TAKE A VOTE FOLLOWS IN FAVOR. HI AND A POST NO OKAY. MOTION CARRIES FOR ONE. OKAY AND THAT[FUTURE BOARD AGENDA ITEMS]
BRINGS US TO A FUTURE BOARD AGENDA ITEMS. AND WE'LL START DOWN AT THE END WITH MRS FREEMAN. I DON'T HAVE ANY. THANK YOU. MR YOUNGBLOOD? YES I HAVE HAD A COUPLE. UM I'D LIKE TO, UH, IN THE NEXT AGENDA GO OVER. THE BOARD BY LAW, 9321 B B HAS A BOY AH IN REGARDS TO MEETINGS AND NOTICES. THINK WE NEED TO REVIEW THAT AND POSSIBLY MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON THAT AS WELL AS BOARD POLICY. 1120 WHICH IS GOVERNING BOARD MEETINGS. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.MAYBE DO SOME REVISIONS AS WELL. AND THE OTHER THING IS I WOULD LIKE TO GO OVER OUR. CONTRACT WITH BRAIN POP. I THINK OUR FILTERS ARE NOT WORKING, AND WE'VE GIVEN THEM A CHANCE, SO I THINK IT'S AH, WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON THEM. OKAY. DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON EACH ONE OF THOSE ITEMS TO KEEP GOING TO START WITH BOARD POLICY 39 TO 1? THE PROBLEM IS, I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE REQUEST IS . SO AT THIS TIME, I WOULD NEED TO KNOW MORE BEFORE I GO FORWARD WITH HAVING HIS CONSIDERATE. I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CHANGING, OKAY? ANYONE ELSE? OH, I SAY YES. ABSOLUTELY. I JUST LIKE TO LOOK SORRY. I JUST LIKE TO REVIEW THE BYLAWS. AND LOOK AT IT TO MAKE SURE IF I'M INTERESTED OR NOT, SO THEY'RE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE . I CAN REVIEW THEM AND COME BACK. OKAY CAN WE PULL IT UP REALLY FAST SO WE CAN WELL, THIS IS JUST TO DETERMINE IF WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO DISCUSS LATER. YEAH WE WOULD. WE WOULD VIOLATION OF THE BROWN ACTIVE. WE DISCUSSED IT NOW. THAT I NEED MORE INFORMATION IS WHAT MY POINT WAS. SO I'M SEEING TWO. YES, MARILYN? NO, OKAY. OKAY SO THAT'S A NO ON THAT. SO POLICY 1120. THE SAME. YES. I'LL LOOK AT IT. OKAY AND THEN THE CONTRACT WITH BRAIN POP? YES.
NO. OKAY, SO AGAIN. NO. OKAY. UM, MR YOUNGBLOOD. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY, MRS BLADES. OKAY, SO, UM SO, WITH ALL OF THE STUFF THAT HAD WAS HAPPENING, UM AS FAR AS THE BYE LAWS. FOR HOW TO PUT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. AND WE NOW HAVE A NEW PROTOCOL, WHICH SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY HAVE A LIKE WE JUST DID. NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE TO PUT ANYTHING ON. UM OUR BYLAW SAYS IT'S SUPERINTENDENT PUTS IT ON. BUT SOMEHOW THE BOARD PROTOCOL IS NOW OVERRIDING OUR BYLAWS, BASED ON. A STUDY SESSION WE HAD A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN WE PUT THIS INTO PLAY. UM MY ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS KIND OF DISCRIMINATORY BECAUSE WHEN, AFTER THE SECOND ADJOURNMENT.
THE NEXT DAY, WE WERE TOLD WE HAVE A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING ON THE SECOND. AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS GOING TO BE THAT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT VIRTUAL I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING LIKE IN THIS TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, ARENA OR ASKING OR GETTING A PHONE CALL AND ASKING IF THAT WAS WHAT SOMETHING I WAS INTERESTED IN. AND THEN AFTER THE SUPER BOWL. THERE WAS A CHANGE TO THE AGENDA ITEM FOR THE SECOND AND IT WAS NO LONGER THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE VIRTUAL, BUT IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUSH OFF. THE AGENDA ARE I'M SORRY WE'RE GOING TO PUSH OFF THE BOARD MEETING TO FROM THE EIGHTH TO LIKE THE 16TH. AND I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING FOR A VOTE ON THAT AS WELL. AND SO I FIND IT. CURIOUS THAT WE'RE ALLOWING SOME BOARD AGENDA ITEMS TO GO FORWARD , BUT THEN OTHERS WE'RE NOT HEARING AND WE'RE JUST BASICALLY DENYING, UM ANY TYPE OF ACCESS OR DENYING ANY BOARD MEMBERS OF A VOICE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I
[02:55:01]
WAS GOING WITH THOSE TO REVIEW THOSE POLICIES BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SO WAIT A SECOND. WE CAN'T ACTUALLY DEBATE THIS. OTHERWISE WE'RE IN VIOLATION OF THE BROWN APP. SO WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THOSE TWO. THOSE TWO AND WE'VE HAVE A 3 TO 2 SAYING WE'RE NOT MOVING FOR FORWARD WITH THAT, MRS BLADES. PLEASE PLEASE BE QUIET. MRS BLADES. DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER BOARD POLICY NUMBER OTHER THAN THOSE TWO THAT YOU WANTED TO BRING UP? WELL I WANTED TO CONTINUE TALKING BECAUSE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A BOARD BYLAWS BOARD POLICY. SO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WE HAD PROBABLY 100 PEOPLE ASKING TO PUT THE MASS CHOICE ON THE AGENDA. WE TRIED TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING. WE WERE OUT VOTED TWO OR THREE TIMES. AND SO THE COMMUNITY WANTED FOR THIS NIGHT TO HAVE MASS CHOICE ON THE AGENDA, AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS 3 TO 2 DECISION NOT TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA. SO IT STARTED SPOT. SPEAKING TO A COUPLE CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEYS WHO ACTUALLY SAID THAT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE IS CALLED VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION. AND SINCE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWING BOARD MEMBERS, THE OLD WAY WOULD BE WE COULD JUST THROW ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA THAT WE WANTED TO THE COMMUNITY COULD REQUEST AND BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, HE COULD PUT IT ON. BUT RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE HAVE IS BASICALLY, IF A BOARD MEMBER OR BOARD MEMBERS DON'T LIKE SOMEBODY'S VIEWPOINT. YOU'RE JUST SAYING NO, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN HEARING THEM SAY YOU'RE VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT BY DOING THIS AND SO IT IS CALLED VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION. AND SO I DO FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE VERY MUCH AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE BECAUSE IT'S JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. AND THEY'VE ACTUALLY SAID THAT. BOARD MEMBERS CAN BE SUED FOR THIS. FOR VIOLATING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. WE ARE WE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND SO WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING OUR CONSTITUENTS, AND IF THE CONSTITUENTS CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA, AND WE CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA WHEN WE'RE REPRESENTING THE CONSTITUENTS, AND WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? SO THAT'S. THAT'S MY DAD IS MY ISSUE, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DIFFERENT THING, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION . I BELIEVE IT IS VIEWPOINT. DISCRIMINATION AS TO CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEYS HAVE TOLD ME THIS SO I'M NOT TRYING TO ADDRESS ANYTHING. I JUST NEED WE NEED TO HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THIS ISSUE, WHETHER BEYOND THE NEXT BOARD AGENDA OR ANYTHING ELSE. SURE MISS BLADES. IF I MAY ARE ATTORNEY IS HERE, MR TODD ROBBINS. MR ROBBINS. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU CAN COMMENT ON WITHOUT? AS BREAKING BROWN ACT.CAN YOU RESPOND TO THIS OR DO WE NEED TO PUT IT ON THE FUTURE GENDER? WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION, PLEASE? IS THE SONG. YEAH, WE'RE ON A PORTION OF THE AGENDA. THAT'S NOT REALLY OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT EDUCATION CODE SECTION. AH JUST A SECOND. I LOST IT AND I'M GOING TO BRING IT BACK. 35145.5 I BELIEVE YES. AH, IS THE SECTION ABOUT PLACING ITEMS ON THE. BOARD AGENDA AND REQUEST TO DO SO. AND THE COURTS IN CALIFORNIA HAVE SAID THAT THAT DOESN'T CREATE A MANDATORY DUTY TO PLACE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA. BEST SCHOOL DISTRICT SINCE SCHOOL BOARDS WITH DISCRETION ON WHAT TO PUT ON THE AGENDA WHEN TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA IF THEY PUT IT ON THE AGENDA. AH, SO I DON'T AGREE THAT THERE'S ANY SORT OF CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION HERE. IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE STATUTES THAT ABOARD CAN DECIDE WHETHER TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA OR NOT. OKAY. CAN WE JUST GET LIKE A HUSKY? I'M SORRY. CAN WE GET LIKE AN UPDATE ABOUT THAT? CERTAINLY WHAT? I'LL LIKE A LEGAL MEMO. SURE MISS BLADES.
AND ARE YOU I KNOW YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR SPECIFIC BOARD BY LA REVISIT OUR BOARD POLICY. BUT ARE YOU ASKING US TO REVISIT THE PROTOCOL THAT THE BOARD CAME UP WITH IT? OUR WORKSHOP ON HOW THE BOARD MEMBERS GET SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA? YES BECAUSE I THINK I THINK WE ALSO NEED TO ADDRESS LIKE WE HAVE BOARD BYLAWS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU KNOW, GOVERNING BY AND SO PROTOCOL SHOULDN'T BE UM. I WOULD SAY. I WISH IT WE SHOULD BE GOING BACK VIOLENCE AND NOT PROTOCOL. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS PROTOCOL, WE SHOULD MAKE IT INTO A BYLAW. BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE GOING BY THIS PROTOCOL, SO I'D LIKE TO READJUST IT. SO THEN WE WOULD JUST NEED AND TO KNOW HOW THE REST OF THE BOARD FEELS ABOUT REVISITING THAT PROTOCOL.
EXPERIMENT WE JUST RECENTLY PASSED THE PROTOCOLS. I TRYING TO THINK HOW RECENT IT WAS. WAS THAT OUR FOURTH BOARD WORKSHOP? UM NO, I DIDN'T. WE ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION THAT WE ADOPTED THOSE OR I MEAN, I SAID, I'M TRYING TO RECALL WHAT WE'VE DONE THAT WHAT POINT BECAUSE THERE'S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IS WHAT WE ADOPTED. AND BUT AT THAT SAME FINAL WORKSHOP, THIS IS
[03:00:05]
WHERE WE DEVELOPED WHERE THE BOARD DEVELOPED THAT, AND I THINK THAT WAS IN THE FALL.OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. WE HAD FOUR SESSIONS. I FORGET THE LAST ONE. YEAH. WHAT DID THAT IS, SO WE JUST NEED TO KNOW IF THERE'S CONSENSUS TO REVISIT THE DON'T KNOW THAT I THOUGHT WE HAD ALL COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT TIME, SO I DON'T AT THIS TIME HAVE INTEREST IN REVIEWING IT, BUT I'LL SAY THAT EVER. I SAY YES. I KIND OF LIKE TO SAY YES TO BUT MAYBE LIKE IN THE SUMMER BECAUSE THIS IS IT'S REALLY I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SAY MUCH, BUT IT'S REALLY HARD BECAUSE YOU'RE GIVEN INFORMATION BUT NO BACKUP INFORMATION. IT'S REALLY HARD TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE POINT, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I LIKE TO REVIEW. ME NO, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT IT. SO, BUT YOU HAVE A LOOKS LIKE A 3 TO 2, OKAY? WE WILL MAKE NOTE AND GET IT PLACED ON THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM. MRS BLADES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. NOT AT THIS TIME. OKAY, MRS ANDERSON.
NOTHING. REAL QUICK PRESIDENT BUCK DOCTOR ALSO, COULD YOU, UH , KIND OF REPEAT WHAT JUST HAPPENED THERE? AS FAR AS WHAT THE ACTUAL TITLE OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT? SURE, SO IN THE FALL. WE THE BOARD HAD A WORKSHOP AND DEVELOPED A PROTOCOL ON HOW YOU AS A BOARD WOULD REQUEST THINGS TO GET ON THE AGENDA. AND SO MISS BLADES HAS ASKED THAT WE REVISIT THAT PROTOCOL BECAUSE HE HAS SEEN HER OPINIONS OUT WORKING WELL, AND SO THREE OF THE FIVE OF YOU SAID YES. YOU'D LIKE TO REVISIT IT. AND SO IT WILL GO ON A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM. AND THEN THIS PUCK.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY. AND I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME. I HAD ONE THING. UM YES, I'M ON THE EARLY CHILDHOOD ORANGE COUNTY COMMITTEE OR IT'S A COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE AND WE'VE RECENTLY HAD OUR MONTHLY MEETING. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE INCREASED FUNDING THAT'S COMING FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD. AND UM AND SO I WAS INTERESTED IN WHERE WE ARE ON THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO BE APPLYING OR LOOKING FOR FUNDS TO HELP EARLY CHILDHOOD THAT ZERO TO AGE FIVE AND I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT THERE ARE SOME DISTRICTS THAT HAVE LEARNING LINKS FOR THAT AGE GROUP, BREA, ORANGE AND CAPISTRANO. UNIFIED HOW THAT, UM, I REMEMBER THAT WE WERE TALKING THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT LEARNING LINKS FOR THAT AGE GROUP THAT WE HAD, UM, THAT I HEARD ABOUT A WHILE AGO, AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY UPDATE ON THAT. DO YOU WANT THAT ON THE FUTURE REPORTED GENDER DO YOU WANT TO IN A JUST IN AN UPDATE WOULD BE FINE, ALL RIGHT, AND THEN TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THAT, UM, THE RESULTS OF THE INFANT TODDLER PRESCHOOL NEEDS SURVEY BECAUSE IT FOLLOWS RIGHT ALONG WITH IT THAT WE DID IN IN OCTOBER. UM AND SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT THE NEEDS THAT WERE THE IDENTIFIED THERE AND, UM IF WE'RE GOING TO TIE OR TRY TO GET ANY EARLY CHILDHOOD FUNDS THAT WOULD ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE NEEDS THAT THE PARENTS ADDRESSED. OKAY AND THEN, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AT A MEETING. SORRY. THANK YOU.
I HAVE A REQUEST FOR DIFFERENT REQUEST FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS. UM, AND SO I'LL JUST TAKE ONE AT A TIME. THE FIRST ONE WAS AND WE RECEIVED AS I THINK THIS BLADE SAID NUMEROUS EMAILS ASKING FOR THE MASK. TO BE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, AND ACTUALLY, THE REASON THAT'S NOT ON THERE IS PART OF OUR PROTOCOL WAS WHEN A COMMUNITY MEMBER SINCE AND SOMETHING TO ME, I BRING IT TO YOU DURING FUTURE AGENDA ITEM PRESENTED, AND THEN YOU GUYS LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S AT LEAST A MAJORITY THAT WANT TO HAVE IT ON THE FUTURE AGENDA. AND SO THE MASK, I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP EXCEPT THAT OUR MASK THE CURRENT MASK MANDATE IS SET TO EXPIRE FRIDAY NIGHT. AND SO I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO BRING IT ONTO THE FUTURE AGENDA . UM BUT THAT'S JUST MY INTERPRETATION, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE GIVING FAMILIES CHOICE FOLLOWING CD PH. AS OF AS OF SATURDAY, MARCH, 12TH. PAUL HAS ALREADY VOTED DOWN FOR TONIGHT'S BOARD MEETING RIGHT NOW, IT WAS NEVER WHAT YOU HAD. WHAT A COUPLE OF BOARD MEMBERS THAT ASKED FOR WAS SPECIAL MEETING AND, UM AND SO ESPECIALLY EATING THAT'S CALLED BY EITHER THE BOARD PRESIDENT OR MAJORITY OF THE BOARD. AND SO, UM IT. WHEN THE COMMUNITY MEMBER REQUESTS THEN I BRING IT TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN THE NEXT REQUEST IS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER REVISING BOARD BY LAW, 93 TO 2.2 PUBLIC COMMENT. AND SO I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE ME TO PLACE BOARD BY LAW, 93 TO 2.2 ON THE FUTURE BOARD AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION. YES. YES, YES. NO. NO. OKAY THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM IS REQUEST FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A NEW BOARD POLICY CALLED
