[PUBLIC COMMENT]

AND LET ME CALL THE FIRST FOUR SPEAKERS TO COME UP TO THE CHAIR , AND THEN WE'LL GET YOU UP TO THE PODIUM AS WELL. THE FIRST ONE BEING MR ANDY FALCO. SECOND PAULA POWERS. AH! THIRD, GASTON.

CASTELLANOS. AND FOURTH, MS SARAH PHILLIPS. GO AHEAD, SIR. FOR SEVERAL DECADES. I'VE BEEN AN INVESTIGATOR OF CRIMINAL CASES AND TWO OF THOSE YEARS WAS A SEX CRIMES DETECTIVE FOR THE CITY OF ANAHEIM. INVESTIGATING CHILD MOLESTERS, GROOMERS AND RAPISTS. AND ONE EXAMPLE OF A CASES OUTSIDE A SCHOOL IN WEST ANAHEIM JUNIOR HIGH, THERE WAS A MAN WAVING CHILDREN OVER TO HIS CAR. AND, UH, PARENTS SAW HIM AND CALLED THE POLICE AND WE STOPPED THEM AND TOOK THEM INTO CUSTODY AND FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS A UM, SEX CRIMES CRIMINAL FROM WAY BACK AND IN HIS CAR. HE HAD PORNOGRAPHY THAT HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW THE KIDS, UH, INVESTIGATED THE CRIME INTERVIEWED HIM, AND EVENTUALLY HE GOT 30 YEARS IN PRISON FOR A CRIME THAT HAD DONE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. WHICH IS STRANGE TO ME IS THAT HERE WE ARE IN P Y EL USD AND WE HAVE TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS, SOME SUPERINTENDENTS AND I IN SOME SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE ALL FOR HAVING PORNOGRAPHY IN OUR SCHOOL. WHICH IS FAR WORSE THAN THIS GUY WHO DID NOT GET ANYBODY TO COME TO HIS CAR. HE WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO WAVE SOME KIDS OVER HIS CAR. HE GOT 30 YEARS. WE ACTUALLY HAD TEACHERS AND ACTUALLY HANDING OUT AS BEEN READ BY SOME OF THE PARENTS HERE. BEEN HANDING IT OUT TO THE KIDS AND SAYING IT'S A BOOK REPORT OR IT'S SOME TYPE OF PROGRAM THAT THEY HAVE TO GO.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. ACTIVE. ACTIVELY PUTTING THESE THINGS IN OUR SCHOOL IS I BELIEVE A CRIME AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO BE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD BE A REPORTING PARTY TO SUCH A CRIME AND PRESS CHARGES AGAINST SOMEBODY FOR DOING THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO

[01:05:02]

CONTINUE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE RTD I AND STL AT ALL OUR PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY, AND WE JUST SIMPLY NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST IT. LET'S GET BACK TO CLASSIC. EDUCATION.

AND GO BACK TO JUST SIMPLY TEACHING OUR KIDS HOW TO READ, WRITE COUNT AND THINK THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND GET AWAY FROM THIS NONSENSE. SO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

GOOD AFTERNOON. UM I WOULD LIKE TO BRING MY CONCERNS ABOUT CHANGING THE PRACTICE OF HOW WE REVIEW CORE AND EXTENDED BOOKS TO OUR CURRICULUM. IN ORDER TO PUT A BOOK UP FOR REVIEW BY THE LITERATURE COMMUNITY COMMITTEE. EDUCATORS HAVE TO COMPLETE 45 THOROUGH QUESTIONS SUPPORT THEIR REASONINGS FOR BRINGING A SPECIFIC BOOK UP FOR PILOTING. IT'S NOT JUST A WILLY NILLY TYPE THING THAT TEACHERS ARE DOING. THEY PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO DESIGNING GOOD CURRICULUM FOR THEIR KIDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED BY THE SUGGESTION LAST MEETING THAT BOARD MEMBERS WITH NO TRAINING AND CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION. WE'RE TASKING THEMSELVES WITH PICKING BOOKS FOR US TO REVIEW. R P Y EL USD WEBSITE SAYS THE BOARD APPROVES CURRICULUM TEXTBOOKS AND COURSES OF STUDY. THE BOARD DOESN'T PICK CURRICULUM OR TEXT BOOKS. NOVELS ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED AT FOUR DIFFERENT LEVELS BEFORE THE BOARD IS ASKED FOR THEIR CONSENT. SO IT'S RIDICULOUS TO SUGGEST THAT BOOKS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE RIGOR OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS ARE NOT FULLY VETTED. AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE. PARENTS ARE PART OF THE PROCESS BOOKS THAT CONCERN THEM. ENCORE AND EXTENDED READING LISTS ARE ABLE TO BE OPTED OUT OF WITHOUT PENALTY. EACH PARENT HAS A RIGHT TO DEEM WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR CHILD AS I DO, TOO. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE WE TRUST THE EDUCATORS OF P Y EL TO MAKE SOUND DECISIONS ABOUT CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION ARE TEACHERS GIVE INTO DEVELOPING ENGAGING IN LESS ENGAGING LESSONS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY GREAT LITERATURE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO INSPIRE OUR SON AND DAUGHTER WITH THOUGHTFUL BOOKS THAT FEED THEIR CURIOSITY. THANK YOU.

GASTON. AH! GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS GASTONE CASTANO'S I LIVE IN PLACENTIA, TAXPAYER IN THE DISTRICT. UM I, TOO WOULD ECHO SOME OF THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS ABOUT CONCERNS. THAT AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF BOARD REVIEW AH, IS SOMETHING THAT A THE BOARD IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DO AT LEAST NOT BY ANY OF THE BIOS THAT YOU LIST ON YOUR WEBSITE AND WOULD THEREFORE BE PROBABLY SUPERFLUOUS. BUT WHAT I AM DEFINITELY CONCERNED ABOUT FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE. IS THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBER FRASER IN THE VOICE OF OC THAT JUST SOMEHOW ADDS TRANSPARENCY TO THE PROCESS, WHICH IMPLIES THE TRANSPARENCY DOESN'T ALREADY EXIST. I THINK THAT'S A COMPLETELY FALSE NARRATIVE. THAT JUST FOSTERS DIVISIVENESS AND MISTRUST IN OUR DISTRICT. PARENTS HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW UH, CURRICULUM. UH AND THAT THEME AND THAT FALSE NARRATIVE IS SOMETHING THAT I SEE THIS BOARD MAJORITY RETURNING TO TIME AND TIME AGAIN. JUST AS WITH THE NON ISSUE OF CRT, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS NOT TAUGHT IN ANY K THROUGH 12 PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE. UH FALSE NARRATIVES ABOUT ETHNIC STUDIES. ALL OF THESE THINGS TEND TO BRING UP THIS FALSE NARRATIVE THAT PARENTS DON'T HAVE RIGHTS ABOUT THE CURRICULUM AND THE BOOKS THAT THEIR CHILDREN CAN READ. WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT THE TRUTH. PARENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE RIGHTS TO OPT THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF MATERIAL AND CLASSES THAT THEY FIND OBJECTIONABLE. SO WHY DO THAT? THAT WOULD BE THE QUESTION THAT I WOULD HAVE FOR THE SPORT AS A MATTER OF POLICY.

AND FINALLY IF. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE EXPERTS WHO HAVE VETTED AND TACKLED THE ISSUE OF

[01:10:10]

GOOD EVENING ONE AND ALL. I'M SARAH PHILLIPS ON THE LIBRARY AT YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL. AND THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON IN APRIL. IT'S NATIONAL POETRY MONTH. AND SO DURING THIS MONTH , I PUT OUT A FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE POETRY. CREATING COMPOSE THEIR OWN, AND THERE'S A VIRTUAL DISPLAY WITH ONLINE ACTIVITIES. ITS ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, AND THERE'S A BOOK DISPLAY AND FICTION AND NONFICTION BOOKS, AS WELL AS A VIRTUAL DISPLAY ON THE LIBRARY WEBSITE. IT'S AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH AND I HAVE A VIRTUAL DISPLAY AND RESOURCES ON THE LIBRARY WEBSITE FOR THAT. IT'S ALSO MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS AWARENESS MONTH. THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME. SO THIS THIS MONTH, I JUST HAVE SOME NIFTY MATH STICKERS THAT KIDS CAN PICK UP IF THEY WANT TO, UH, BEDAZZLE THERE. WATER BOTTLES. AH APRIL IS ALSO SCHOOL LIBRARY MONTH, AND THERE'S ALWAYS SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE THEIR I'M CELEBRATING THE LIBRARY COLLECTION IS MORE DIVERSE THAN IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO. I'M CELEBRATING THAT STUDENTS WERE CHECKING OUT BOOKS AGAIN LIKE THEY WERE PRE COVID. I'M CELEBRATING THE LIBRARY IS A WELL USED PLACE BEFORE SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL BREAK LUNCH DURING CLASS TEACHERS BY STUDENTS AND BY TEACHERS WITH THEIR CLASSES. MULTIPLE STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS AND IN MULTIPLE STATES ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WELL FUNDED AND FULLY STAFFED SCHOOL LIBRARIES BEING AN INDICATOR OF HIGHER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. LIBRARIES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS. TOMORROW IS DEAR DAY, DROP EVERYTHING AND READ. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD BOOK LINED UP. I'M READING A COZY MYSTERY TITLED EASTER BUNNY. MURDER BY LESLEY MEYER.

HAVE A GOOD EVENING. OKAY NEXT FOUR, MS LINDA MANNION. SHANNON MURRAY. PAM. JACQUELINE. AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE FIVE MS CRYSTAL NOBLE AS WELL. LINDA, GO AHEAD. GOOD EVENING. I'M LINDA MANNION, PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF POTENTIAL AND EDUCATORS, AND THIS IS PLAYED LAST LAST MONTH. YOU BROUGHT UP . UM SENATE BILL 6 91 PARTY KNOW THAT JUST LIKE, SEE A BILL AND YOU ARE CONCERNED THAT CT HAD OPPOSED IT. SO I PROMISE YOU ALL THAT I WOULD RESEARCH THIS BILL AND I DID. I WENT TO STATE COUNCIL AND I MET WITH THE ASSESSMENT TESTING COMMITTEE.

AND SO I HAVE SOME INFORMATION SOME UPDATES TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU TONIGHT AND AS ALWAYS, ET THOROUGHLY, THAT'S ANYTHING BEFORE THEY GIVEN APPROVAL FOR IT. AND THIS WAS THIS WAS NO DIFFERENT. SO JUST IN GENERAL POLICY CTS SUPPORTING OF THE SUPPORTIVE OF THE OVERREACHING INTENT OF THE LEGISLATION TO SCREEN FOR READING DIFFICULTIES . DYSLEXIA INCLUDED C T, A IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE AND SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR SCREENING FOR READING DIFFICULTIES. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THAT ON THIS BILL. SO THE REASON THAT CT OPPOSES THIS BILL AND ITS CURRENT FORM. ARE CENTERED AROUND IMPLEMENTATION. AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE FIXED. SO NUMBER ONE. THE SEIZURES JUST SOME EXAMPLES GOT MORE TIME THAN I THOUGHT. UM THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS NOR FUNDING FOR LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS WHEN EDUCATORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING EVIDENCE BASED LITERACY INSTRUCTION, PROGRESS MONITORING AND EARLY INTERVENTION IN THE GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM. THERE'S NO PROVISION FOR THAT. THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS NOR FUNDING. FOR LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS TO ADMINISTER SCORE AND DELIVERIES. SULT FROM THE SCREENERS TO THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF THEIR STUDENTS. IT'S NOT THERE. NUMBER THREE. THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY THAT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS MAYBE FLAGGED FOR HAVING READING DIFFICULTIES. AND THIS BILL OFFERS NO PLAN WHATSOEVER. FOR HOW TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO MEET

[01:15:04]

CTS WRITTEN TO THE HONORABLE JOSH NEWMAN, WHO'S CHAIR OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

AND HIS OFFERED IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS AND WAYS TO AMEND THIS BILL TO MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT. WE NEED THE SUPPORTS IN THERE. IT'S A HUGE LIABILITY. OTHERWISE THANK YOU. HI MY NAME IS SHANNON MURRAY AND I'M HERE TO SAY I VALUE THE JUDGMENT OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS. TODD SUGGESTED LETTING THE BOARD REJECTED BOOK PRIOR TO THE PILOTING PROCESS BECAUSE LEANDRA HAD CONCERNS ABOUT PERSEPOLIS. SO I READ THE BOOK. LET ME BE CLEAR. I 100% TRUST THE JUDGMENT OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS. TEACHERS WANT TO PILOT A BOOK LET THEM GATHER FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR VIEWS OF THE CONTENT. BROADER THEMES.

PARENTS 30 DAYS TO REVIEW THE MATERIAL. PLEASE DON'T REMOVE TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS FROM THE REVIEW PROCESS. AND AFTER THAT PROCESS IF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS GIVE FEEDBACK THAT IS POSITIVE, APPROVED THE BOOK. LEANDRO'S ENTITLED TO HER OWN OPINION, WITHOUT OPINION SHOULDN'T BE THE BASIS FOR PLS CORE CURRICULUM. IF YOU WANT STUDENTS TO APPRECIATE THE FREEDOMS THEY ENJOY AS AMERICANS SHARED FROM A TEAM PERSPECTIVE, LET THEM RE PERSEPOLIS. IF YOU SUPPORT PARENTS' RIGHTS THAN SUPPORT, MY RIGHT TO HAVE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS SELECT MY STUDENTS CURRICULUM. I CAN OPT OUT. DON'T GIVE YOURSELF THE AUTHORITY TO OPT OUT ON MY BEHALF. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BOOK, BUT I WANT TO GIVE THREE CHEERS OUT TO A HEALTHY DOSE OF SKEPTICISM. I GREW UP AND I WAS TAUGHT BY WONDERFUL PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS TO HAVE A HEALTHY DOSE OF SKEPTICISM TO NOT BELIEVE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM. UM DIDN'T WE ALL LEARN THE PHRASE JUST BECAUSE EVERYONE JUMPS OFF THE BRIDGE DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD SO HAVING ALL OF OUR EYES BEEN OPENED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS TO NOT ALWAYS TRUST THE EXPERTS.

AH SO THREE CHEERS FOR A HEALTHY DOSE OF SKEPTICISM. AH FIRST THING I WANTED TO ASK IS THE BOARD POLICY 51 TO 8.1 THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION. CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE SOME LEVEL OF CUSTOMIZATION AND FLEXIBILITY BUILT IN THAT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S TOO MANY THINGS THAT ARE TOP DOWN, AS OPPOSED TO JUST ALLOWING THE COUNSELORS AND PRINCIPALS TO WORK WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO FIGURE OUT AH, SOMETHING THAT WORKS AND THAT'S CUSTOMIZABLE FOR STUDENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY SON, WHO WAS HOME SCHOOLED FOR FIVE YEARS, DECIDED TO RETURN BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOL AND THE COUNSELOR KEEPS PUSHING US TO TAKING ADDITIONAL ZERO PERIOD AND SEVENTH PERIOD CLASSES AND I KEEP REPEATING THE SAME THING. MY SON IS AN ATHLETE HE DOES TO SPORTS CAN'T BE IN SEVENTH PERIOD. HE'S EITHER AWAY AT OF ATTRACT ME AT WATER POLO GAME, ETCETERA, UM AND IT'S NOT GOING TO GET UP. YOU KNOW THAT EARLY BECAUSE HE LIKES TO SLEEP. SINCE HE GETS HOME FROM PRACTICE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES AT 10 O'CLOCK, 10 30. SO PLEASE, CAN YOU ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY CUSTOMIZATION TO ALLOW THE PRINCIPLES TO WORK WITH THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS. UM THE ONE THING I DID WANT TO MENTION TONIGHT IS, UM, I DID MENTION THAT I HOMESCHOOLED ONE OF MY KIDS FOR FIVE YEARS AND BELONG TO A NUMBER OF TEACHER GROUPS. ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS. I HEARD A LOT FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THOSE GROUPS WAS ABOUT ADMINISTRATION. TOXIC ON SUPPORTIVE, NEVER WAS A TEACHER . PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE TIRED OF THE BUZZ. WORD OF THE WEEK. WASTE OF TIME PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. I'VE HAD MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH PY L ADMINISTRATION TWO MONTHS AGO, I SHARED HOW ADAMSON COMPLETELY COMPLETELY FABRICATED THE EXISTENCE OF A POLICY. THE POLICY AND ADAMSON'S ACTIONS ARE DISCRIMINATORY AGAINST HOMESCHOOLERS. I MET WITH THE YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL BEFORE SPRING BREAK, AND MY KID WILL BE GRANTED CREDIT FOR SOME OF THE HOME SCHOOL WORK. I THINK PARENTS AND

[01:20:06]

HI CRYSTAL NOBLE. I HAVE THREE STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE OUR PROGRAM AND I SPOKE WITH OUR LIBRARIAN AT TRAVIS RANCH ELEMENTARY, AND SHE JUST WANTED ME TO DO ANYTHING I COULD DO TO GET IT BACK AND IMPLEMENTED AND I WAS HAPPY TO REPORT TO HER LAST MONTH. THAT IT WAS APPROVED. BUT OUR CONCERN IS NOW THAT IT'S THE P T. A S IN EACH SCHOOL THAT WOULD HAVE TO FUND IT. SO WHILE MY KIDS ARE AT TRAVIS AND WE HAVE A WONDERFUL P T A PLENTY OF FUNDING WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO GET IT APPROVED AND FUNDED. HOWEVER THERE MAY BE OTHER SCHOOLS WHO DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF SUPPORT . DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF FUNDING OR THE BUDGET TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO I THINK IF WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT EQUITY WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE DISTRICT SOMEHOW FIND THE FUNDS TO PROVIDE THIS PROGRAM FOR ALL THE SCHOOLS. UM SO ALL OF THE STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS THE SAME ACCESS TO THIS PROGRAM THAT MY STUDENTS AT TRAVIS RANCH WOULD HAVE. UM, BUT THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. OKAY? WE'RE COMING TO OUR COMMUNICATION AND BOARD REPORT. SO AT THIS TIME, IF WE'LL MISS

[COMMUNICATIONS AND BOARD REPORT]

[01:25:10]

KEEP INVOLVED. UM I WAS ABLE TO GO TO VISIT ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT AND VISIT SOME OF THEIR PROGRAMS, INCLUDING CULINARY ARTS, MEDICAL AND. CAREERS MEDICAL SCIENCE AND AUTOMOTIVE PROGRAMS WHERE THEY GET TO WORK WITH ELECTRIC AND STANDARD CARS. THAT WAS VERY NEAT. I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BEFORE. UM SO IT'S NICE TO VISIT AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AND SEE IN SOME CASES LIKE OUR CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM IS ASTOUNDING. UM AND IT COMPARED TO OTHERS WE HAVE. WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL PROGRAM. BUT WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK AT OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE THE AUTOMOTIVE, THEY DON'T THAT WE DON'T HAVE. IT JUST GIVES A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, AND A LOT OF THE ROP PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE ALL IN ROP. SO IF WE DON'T HAVE AN AUTOMOTIVE HERE, THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO GET INVOLVED IN OTHER WAYS. AND TAKE THOSE AUTOMOTIVE CLASSES. UM CSB. A LEGISLATIVE ACTION WEEK WAS LAST MONTH AND WE WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH LEGISLATORS TO DISCUSS SCHOOL RELATED BILLS. THERE WERE BOARD MEMBERS FROM ALL OF THE DISTRICTS IN EACH OF THE LEGISLATORS AREA, SO THIS ALLOWS TO THEM TO SPECIFICALLY HERE FROM THEIR OWN SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS ALL AT THE SAME TIME. UM SO IT'S I PREFER THE ONLINE ZOOM THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THAT BECAUSE IT GIVES IT A US ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TOGETHER.

IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE OFF SQUEEZING IN A ROOM AND, UM, I HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT. UM, BUT IT SEEMS TO GO VERY WELL. SHAMROCK AND RUN. I BROUGHT GIFTS ALONG THAT THE REACH FOUNDATION ASKED ME TO PASS. UM THERE ARE MAGNETS FOR ALL OF YOU AND EVEN STICKERS FOR YOUR CAR MAGNETS FOR YOUR CAR AS WELL. SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE ONE UM, I ATTENDED THE SHAMROCK AND RUN AND ALONG WITH MRS ANDERSON GOT TO WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE SO HOW MUCH DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH ANNUAL? IT WAS. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. I THINK IT WAS THE 14TH ANNUAL.

IT'S AMAZING HOW QUICKLY THAT HAS COME AROUND. UM I WAS PART OF THE YOUR BELINDA WOMEN'S CLUB TEAM AGAIN THIS YEAR AND WALKED WITH SOME OF MY TEAMMATES. UM, I DIDN'T GET ANY SPECIAL RIBBONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR. MY DAUGHTER IS PART OF THE MEDIA TEAM. SO WE WENT INCREDIBLY EARLY IN THE MORNING. WE WERE THERE WHEN IT WAS DARK, AND WE STAYED UNTIL IT WAS JUST ABOUT COMPLETED. IT WAS VERY WELL RUN EVENT, LOTS OF BOOTHS AND ACTIVITIES AND FOOD TO EAT. IT WAS NICE TO SEE ALL THE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS HAVING FUN TOGETHER AND THE WEATHER WAS REALLY PERFECT. UM I ATTENDED THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DAY LUNCHEON WITH THE PLACENTA IN YORBA LINDA CHAMBERS. WE HAD OVER 30 PEOPLE THERE WHO EACH TALKED ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE SUBJECT OR CLASS. AND THERE WERE A FEW WHO I THINK THAT THE MAJORITY OR THE GROUP THAT HAD THE NUMBER THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF , UM THAT BEING IN THEIR FAVORITE CLASSES, MATH WHICH ACTUALLY SURPRISED ME. THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED THINGS LIKE ART MUSIC BAND PARTICULAR SPORT. A CORE CLASS CTE YOUR ACTIVITIES. WHAT I REALLY WAS SURPRISED BY WAS AS WE WENT AROUND THE ROOM. THERE WERE HARDLY ANY THAT WERE REPEATED. SO THERE WERE A FEW

[01:30:04]

UM I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M COMMITTED TO WORKING COLLABORATIVELY COLLABORATIVELY WITH PARENTS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS , COMMUNITY MEMBERS OR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO WORK TOGETHER IN A POSITIVE WAY TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. THE MORE WE WORK TOGETHER POSITIVELY TOWARD A UNITED GOAL OF PROVIDING AN ELECTED EXCELLENT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, THE MORE SUCCESS OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE NOW AT SCHOOL. AND IN THEIR FUTURE, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE A POSITIVE CLIMATE FOR OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. UM I TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN LEGISLATION ACTION WEEK AND I GOT TO MEET WITH PHILIP CHEN'S OFFICE AND ADVOCATE FOR FUNDING FOR R L. A PROGRAM BUSSING ARTS AND MUSIC DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT CYBERSECURITY RESOURCES AND FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS. UM IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO BE WITH OUR LEGISLATORS AND DISCUSS THESE ISSUES AND ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AND GIVE THEM REAL LIFE. EXAMPLES OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR DISTRICT. THAT'S MRS BUCK SAID. WE OPENED UP SHAMROCK. RUN AND I JUST I WANTED TO SAY A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR REACH FOUNDATION FOR PUTTING THIS ON AND PROVIDING SO MANY RESOURCES TO OUR STUDENTS IN THE WAY OF ARTS, ATHLETICS AND EDUCATION. UM I ALSO I THINK WE ALL YEAH, WE WERE ALL AT THE PRINCIPAL, UM, FOR A DAY EVENT AND I HAD JUST ONE OVERALL OBSERVATION THAT WAS UNIQUE TO ME IS MANY OF OUR PRINCIPLES FOR THE DAY NOTICED. THOSE PERSONAL INTERACTIONS WITH STAFF WITH STUDENTS. AND THEY SAID THAT THE THOSE INTERACTIONS YOU COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE AUTHENTIC BECAUSE THEY WERE RECIPROCATED BY OUR STUDENTS, AND, UM I THOUGHT JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS REALLY MEANINGFUL. UM OBSERVATION BY OUR PRINCIPLES FOR THE DAY. AND SINCE OUR MIRRORS HERE, I HAD A KINDERGARTEN STUDENT COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME THAT THE MAYOR VISITED HER CLASSROOM AND SHE WAS VERY EXCITED NOT AT A SCHOOL EVENT, SO IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT OUR COMMUNITY REACHES OUT TO OUR OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DO NOTICE THAT UM, I PARTICIPATED IN THE WASP REVIEW FOR PARKVIEW ACCREDITATION. AND I HAD, UM, AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH THEM. HOW IMPORTANT PARKVIEW IS TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR OUR UNIQUE STUDENT NEEDS AND I SHARED A FRIEND'S EXPERIENCE WITH HER DAUGHTER ATTENDING PARKVIEW. I ATTENDED THE ELEMENTARY HONORS BAND.

ORCHESTRA. IT WAS AN AMAZING CONCERT. AND, UM. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT OUR

I GOT TO VISIT SEVERAL CLASSROOMS AND SEE THE WORK OF OUR AMAZING STUDENTS. AND I REALLY LOVE THE FOCUS OF ABBOTT THAT I SAW IN EVERY CLASSROOM. AND I GOT TO GO ONE CLASSROOM 1/6 GRADE CLASSROOM AND THEY WERE PILOTING IN THAT CLASSROOM . THE NEW SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM, SO I ACTUALLY GOT TO READ THE STUDENTS WORK AND SEE. WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE WITH THE NEW UM, WITH THE NEW CURRICULUM THAT IS PROPOSED, SO IT WAS JUST KIND OF NICE TO DRAW THOSE CONNECTIONS. UM LASTLY, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO INVITE EVERYBODY TO, UM A 10 LEVEL SENTIA ON APRIL 22ND. I HAVE FLYERS UP HERE FOR EVERYBODY, UM I KNOW I'M HORRIBLE, HUH? AND THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO, UM GET COMMUNITY SERVICE ALSO, UM, LOVE YOUR BELINDA IS APRIL 29TH. AND I ALSO HAVE FLYERS FOR EVERYBODY . FOR THAT LAST MONTH. I MISSPOKE. I SAID IT WAS MARCH 29TH AND I APOLOGIZE TO LOVE YOUR BELINDA AND WE'LL ALSO GIVE YOU GUYS INFORMATION. SO, UM. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN COME OUT AND JOIN US FOR SOME SERVICE. UM WE'RE GOING TO BE AT LOTS OF SCHOOLS, AND I DIDN'T I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME IN THE LAST MONTH READING TEXTBOOKS AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE ALL MY EXCITING READING LATER ON TONIGHT. THANKS. MM HMM. ALRIGHT SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF REPEATS OF WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST MEETING UP HERE. I ATTENDED THE ESPERANZA CHOIR CONCERT WITH TATA NISA AND CHICKENS SING LIKE THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. THE THING I WAS MOST INSPIRED BY WAS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT OUR STUDENTS GET AT WITH BRINGING IN SOMEONE OF THAT CALIBER BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T JUST SING WITH THEM AT THE CONCERT. SHE WAS IN THEIR CLASSROOM. SHE WAS SHE WAS HELPING THEM COACHING THEM SOME , SHE ALSO WAS ABLE TO SHARE WITH THEM. HER EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY AND ENTERTAINMENT. AND IF KIDS ARE INTERESTED IN GOING THAT PATH. JUST HAVING SOMEBODY THAT'S THERE. THAT'S DONE IT THAT'S CURRENTLY DOING IT ON BROADWAY. THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THE REACH FOUNDATION PROVIDED OUR STUDENTS WAS PHENOMENAL. UM AFTER THAT, THEN I WENT TO THE YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION OF URINE TOWN. YES YOU'RE IN TOWN WAS THE NAME OF IT. I WAS CONFUSED AS WELL. IT WAS. IT WAS FUNNY. WE LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS DON'T BE THE BUNNY. SO IF YOU WENT TO THE SHOW, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? UM AND THEN, UH, THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DAY LUNCHEON, AS HAS BEEN ECHOED BY THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS UP HERE IT WAS. IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. I THINK THE THING THAT I GOT OUT OF IT MOST WAS THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION THAT WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE, UM WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS THANK YOU FOR PLACENTIA IN YOUR BELINDA AND I THINK THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY IS SO HUGE. THERE WERE SEVERAL THE THING THAT I PICKED UP. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE MATH. PEOPLE LIVE IN MATH. THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S THAT'S MY KIND OF PEOPLE. UM BUT THERE WERE SO MANY THAT WERE LIKE, YEAH. YOU WERE MY TEACHER LIKE I THE SEVERAL OF THEM WENT THROUGH THE DISTRICT AND THEY'RE STILL HERE. WE HAVE A STRONG COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT AH, I LOVE THIS PLACE AND WANT TO SEE IT BE AS BAD BE IT THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE. SO THAT WAS JUST REALLY ENCOURAGING AGAIN TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME OUT AND BE EXCITED CAUSE THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT SINCE, LIKE THREE YEARS, I THINK, AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT CONTINUE. AND THEN FINALLY, I WAS SPEAKING TO, UH, CLIENT OF MINE THAT ACTUALLY IS AN INSTRUCTOR IN ANOTHER DISTRICT. AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CTE BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE TO PUMP THE CTE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE HERE BECAUSE IT'S SO GREAT AGAIN OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR KIDS, AND HE WAS MENTIONING A PROGRAM THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY THEY'VE HAD FOR YEARS OVER ANAHEIM, BUT THEY'RE INCREASING . UM STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY PATHWAY IN THEIR CT, AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THE WAY THAT THEY'RE PARTNERING WITH ANAHEIM FIRE AND ANTI PD. TO ACTUALLY BRING KIDS IN AND SHOW THEM WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE PART OF PUBLIC SAFETY, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SAFETY IN THE CLASSROOMS ON CAMPUSES TO GIVE KIDS INSIGHT INTO WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO THE EXPLORER PROGRAM AND HAVE THAT BE A PATHWAY FOR THEM. I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ADD TO OUR LIST OF CTE HERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT I THINK

[01:40:05]

AND SO I LOOKED IT UP IN. IT'S BASICALLY RIDING BUILT WRITING POSTCARDS TO ASSEMBLYMAN SENATORS. AND, UM, WHOEVER ELSE . AND SO AGAIN, THE QUESTION WAS IS HOW IS A PARENT SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT A TEACHER IS PUSHING AS AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY INTO THE CLASSROOM? AND SO, MR PRESIDENT , I WAS WONDERING IF WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF BOARD POLICY THAT DEFINES WHAT TYPE OF OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES UM, CAN BE PUSHED BY TEACHER AND IF THERE IS PROPER PARENTAL NOTIFICATION WHEN DOING SO AND SO I THINK AS A BOARD WE SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT. AND WE SHOULD ANSWER OUR PARENTS. THE PARENTS WHO DO HAVE THESE CONCERNS. ALSO TO CHINO VALLEY HAS A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 8 13 14, WHICH WAS, UM, TAKEN AWAY. OR I GUESS STRUCK DOWN YESTERDAY. THE DAY PREVIOUS DAY. UM HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ADOPTED A POLICY BASICALLY ABOUT PARENTAL RIGHTS AND TRANSPARENCY AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THEIR CHILDREN ON CAMPUS. AND SO I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD LOOK INTO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO OUR PARENTS KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND WHAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOL IF THESE TYPE OF SITUATIONS ARISE. AND I'M SUPER HAPPY TO BE ATTENDING, UM, IN JULY, JUST SIGNED UP FOR IT. THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF BLACK SCHOOL EDUCATORS, I'M GOING TO GO TO THEIR CONFERENCE ON IMPLICIT BIAS AND ALSO THE EDUCATION. UM UM, IT'S BASICALLY A CONFERENCE. THAT'S JUST GOING TO TALK A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW.

EDUCATION FOR YOU KNOW, MINORITY STUDENTS AND BEST PRACTICES, AND SO I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED. I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO RECEIVE THAT INVITATION AND WHAT NOBODY HAS TALKED ABOUT IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF A SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH. AND WHILE WE CAN'T RELEASE THE NAME, UM WE CAN SAY THAT WE DID DO OUR INTERVIEWS THIS LAST WEEKEND, AND WE WILL HAVE EXCITING NEWS.

HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR EVERYBODY, AND I REALLY LIKE TO THANK MAKELELE FROM HAZARD YOUNG AND ATTIA FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT THAT HE GAVE TO US AND FOR BRINGING US JUST FABULOUS CANDIDATES, AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE OF PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA, AND THAT IS MY

[01:45:01]

[STAFF PRESENTATION]

[01:50:01]

IT'S WITH MUCH PRIDE THAT I INTRODUCE OUR NEXT SPEAKER, WHO , ALONG WITH HER TEAM OF COMMITTED AND DEDICATED EDUCATORS, HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN LIVING AT THE RESOLUTION AND ENSURING OUR CHILDREN CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED WITH INCLUSIVE SETTINGS TO ENHANCE THEIR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND IMPROVE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS IN THEIR FUTURES. MRS RENE GRAY HAS BEEN LEADING THIS IMPORTANT WORK FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND IT IS TO HER AND HER TEAM. TO WHOM WE GIVE CREDIT FOR THE HEADWAY. WE CONTINUE TO MAKE. TO SHARE MORE DETAILS ON HOW WE'VE MANAGED THIS AND SOME OF THE WORK THAT LIES AHEAD. OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ESPECIALLY EDUCATION, MRS RENE GRAY, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT MATTHEWS AND EXECUTIVE CABINET I HAVE THE PLEASURE TO PRESENT WHERE WE ARE AS A DISTRICT AFTER HAVING INSTITUTED THE INCLUSION BOARD POLICY LAST YEAR IN MAY OF 2022 , I DO HAVE TO SAY I AM SO EXCITED THIS EVENING TO DISCUSS WITH YOU AND SHARE HOW ARE PLANS SINCE LAST YEAR HAVE COME TO FRUITION. IT IS SO EXCITING TO SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE AS A DISTRICT AND WHERE WE'RE HEADED. SO WHEN THE BOARD PASSED THIS PIVOTAL RESOLUTION LAST YEAR, YOU GAVE US THE CHALLENGE TO DEVELOP OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO BE EDUCATED, WITH THEIR TYPICALLY DEVELOPING PEERS TO PROVIDE FOR BETTER OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS. AT THIS SAME TIME LAST YEAR, THERE WAS DISCUSSION AROUND THE BELIEF THAT EVERY STUDENT DESERVES GREAT OPPORTUNITIES NOT BY CHANCE, BUT BY DESIGN. AND IN THIS PRESENTATION, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SHARE WITH YOU. THE DESIGNS WE ENVISIONED AND SUBSEQUENTLY CREATED TO PUT THIS RESOLUTION INTO PRACTICE. THIS EVENING, I WILL BE FOCUSING ON THE IMPACT ARE INCLUSIVE BOARD RESOLUTION AND ENSUING PRACTICES HAVE HAD ON OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS. THUS FAR, WE ARE PLEASED WITH THE STRIDES NOT ONLY IN THE GROWTH IN STUDENT PERFORMANCE, BUT ALSO IN THE CONNECTIONS AND THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED BETWEEN OUR GENERAL EDUCATION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS. I'M EXCITED THIS EVENING TO SHARE THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE AND HOW WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER FOR A COMMON PURPOSE. MANY YEARS OF RESEARCH REFLECTS THAT THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN HAVING HIGH EXPECTATIONS AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN THE REGULAR CLASSROOM. THIS EVENING, I WILL BE SHARING WHERE WE ARE IN THE PLAN OF PROVIDING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED AMONGST THEIR GENERAL EDUCATION PEERS. THE INCLUSION MODEL IN ONE OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS. AND THE VARIOUS INCLUSION MODELS IN PRESCHOOL, INCLUDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES PROGRAM, OUR COLLABORATION MODELS AND THE HEAD START TEACHING PARTNERSHIP. IN MAY OF 2022 YOU? THE BOARD PASSED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE P L. U S D INCLUSION RESOLUTION WHEN ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED, WE HAD SHARED OUR PLANS FOR THE 2022 2023 SCHOOL YEAR TO EXPAND THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES PROGRAM AND COLLABORATE WITH GENERAL EDUCATION PRESCHOOL AS WELL AS DEVELOPED THE HEAD START CO TOP PARTNERSHIP, WHICH YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS EVENING ALREADY. NOT ONLY HAVE WE INCREASED OUR STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO BE EDUCATED WITH THEIR NON DISABLED PEERS AT THE PRESCHOOL LEVEL THIS YEAR, WE HAVE ALSO EXPANDED TO AN INCLUSIVE MODEL AT ONE OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AS WELL. THE HOPE IS THAT BY 2023 24. WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND THESE MODELS THAT I WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU TONIGHT. FINALLY IN THE 24 25 SCHOOL YEAR, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR ADJUST AND EXPAND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAID MODELS AND MAKE CHANGES BASED ON WHAT OUR DATA TELLS US. AS PART OF THE INCLUSION RESOLUTION PASSED. THE FOLLOWING QUOTE STANDS OUT RELATED TO OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO BE EDUCATED WITH THEIR NON DISABLED PEERS. AFTER ALL, OUR STUDENTS ARE GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, FIRST AND FOREMOST. QUOTE IS STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE WITH SAME AGED TYPICAL PEERS AND ALL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT APPROPRIATE. IN JUNE OF 2022 FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION, THE BOARD APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH LIANE YOUNG, A LEADER IN THE FIELD OF INCLUSION TO ASSIST WITH LIVING OUT OUR RESOLUTION. DR YOUNG'S TRAINING EMPHASIZES THE

[01:55:04]

2023. EVEN MORE PROMISING IS THE EIGHTH GRADE DATA AT THE YORBA. THE READING DATA SHOWN IN BLUE DEPICTS THAT A TOTAL OF 84% OF STUDENTS ARE MAINTAINING OR GROWING ON. I READY WITH 61% SHOWING GROWTH OF ONE OR MORE GRADE LEVELS AND 23% MEANING TO MAINTAINING THEIR LEVEL FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE MARCH 2023 MEASUREMENT. THE OH, OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE YOU MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THE MATH GROWTH FOR EIGHTH GRADE SHOWN IN GREEN DEPICTS THAT 85% OF STUDENTS ARE MAINTAINING OR GROWING ON. I READY WITH AN ASTOUNDING 64% SHOWING GROWTH OF ONE OR MORE GRADE LEVELS AND 21% MAINTAINING THEIR LEVEL FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO MARCH.

B Y M S DATA FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR INDICATED THAT 65% OF THE STUDENTS WITH IDENTIFY WITH IDENTIFIED DISABILITIES ENTERED BELOW GRADE LEVEL. SO FAR, THE DATA HAS BEEN PROMISING, INDICATING THAT THE FULL INCLUSION MODEL IS ACCELERATING THE LEARNING OF OUR MOST CHALLENGED LEARNERS. IN SOME CASES, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE GRADE LEVEL GAINS THAT WILL HELP TO CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP. MY QUESTION IS, ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE ALREADY? ASSESSMENT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR? YES YEAH, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE ASSESSMENTS, BESIDES, ARE READY TO DO TO HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH MRS FISHER ABOUT THAT. OKAY MOVING ON NOW TO OUR PRESCHOOL LEVEL. OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THREE MODELS OF INCLUSION. FIRST IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES PROGRAM WHERE TYPICALLY DEVELOPING PEERS JOIN OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES FOR PART OF THE WEEK. THIS IS ALMOST LOOKED AT AS A REVERSED MAINSTREAMING MODEL, IF YOU WILL. NEXT IS THE COLLABORATION WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS, INCLUDING STATE PRESCHOOLS IN GENERAL EDUCATION FEE BASED PRESCHOOLS WHERE CONSULTATION BETWEEN OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION, PRESCHOOL STAFF AND STATE AND PRIVATE PRESCHOOLS ARE OCCURRING WHERE TOPICS SUCH AS RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION, MULTI TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT IN ACADEMICS AND BEHAVIOR ARE REVIEWED. AND LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, IS OUR CO TEACHING COLLABORATION MODEL WITH HEAD START. THIS INVOLVES R P Y EL EDUCATIONAL SPECIALISTS BETTER KNOWN AS A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER WITH THE HEAD START TEACHER WHERE THE DIVISION OF LABOR AND PLANNING, ORGANIZING AND INSTRUCTING AND ASSESSING THE SAME GROUP OF

[02:00:01]

AS WE KNOW THE BENEFITS OF INCLUSION AND CO TEACHING AT AN EARLY AGE HAVE LONG TERM EFFECTS. AS A RESULT, THE STATE HAS CHANGED THE MANDATES FOR OUR STATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS. THESE CHANGES ARE EVIDENCE OF THE GROWING REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE PROVIDED WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUSION UPON THEIR FIRST INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION. THIS IS WHY OUR COLLABORATION WITH HEAD START FEED BASED AND STATE PRESCHOOL IS SO TIMELY AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART THE REQUIREMENT TO ENROLL CHILDREN WITH CHIPS IN STATE PRESCHOOL IS GOING TO DOUBLE BETWEEN THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND 24 25 THAT RESEARCH SUPPORTS INCLUSION, STARTING AT AN EARLY AGE FOR BETTER LONG TERM OUTCOMES FOR PERFORMANCE GRADUATION RATES AND POST GRADUATION OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS. THEREFORE THE STATE IS LINKING STATE PRE SCHOOL FUNDING NOW. TO THE INCREASE IN THE ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS YOU SEE HERE? UM FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS. WITH THE STATES AND INITIATIVE TO INCREASE THE ENROLLMENT OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN GENERAL EDUCATION SETTINGS. IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US AS AN ORGANIZATION TO COLLABORATE WITH THESE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS SUCH AS STATE PRESCHOOL HEAD START AND ARE FEE BASED PROGRAMS. ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE DIFFERENT REGULATIONS FROM WHICH THEY OPERATE. OUR GOAL IS TO SIMPLIFY, STREAMLINE AND ALIGN THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE IN P Y EL BY TAKING THESE INHERENTLY SILOED SYSTEMS AND MELDING THEM INTO A COHESIVE, HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL. OUR PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ALL STATE PRESCHOOL STAFF ABOUT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND THE SPECIFIC SUPPORTS WE CAN OFFER AND ALSO PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION TO THOSE TEACHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF TO HELP INTEGRATE AND SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH TYPES. I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE. HOW ARE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH HEAD START HAVE BEEN REALIZED THIS YEAR. THIS IS TRULY ONE OF OUR GREATEST SUCCESSES AND INCLUSION , I WOULD SAY AT THE OUTSET OF THE 22 23 SCHOOL YEAR, WE REGRET WE BEGAN OUR COLLABORATION WITH HEAD START THE HEAD START PROGRAM IS A FREE, FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS EVENING. THAT PROMOTES SCHOOL READINESS FOR INFANTS, TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS FROM FAMILIES THAT MEET THE INCOME ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WE NOW HAVE THIS CO TALK CLASSROOM AND IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN A GENERAL EDUCATION EARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSROOM ON THE TOE PEZ CAMPUS . THE CLASSROOM STAFF CONSISTS OF TWO HEAD START TEACHERS AND EDUCATIONAL SPECIALIST. A SPECIAL EDUCATION, INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANT AND A HEAD START TEACHING ASSISTANT. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 18 TO 20 STUDENTS OF WHICH 50% HAVE I E. P S. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN ORANGE COUNTY. AND IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A SPECIAL SPECIAL DAY CLASS TEACHER WITH AN EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHER HAVE TAUGHT TOGETHER WITHIN PROGRAMS GOVERNED BY DIFFERENT POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES. SO THIS IS PROOF THAT IT CAN BE DONE. THE STUDENTS ON IPS ARE RECEIVING THEIR SPECIALIZED ACADEMIC SERVICES WITHIN A GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. SAM AND THE BENEFITS OF THIS FLEXIBLE CO TEACHING APPROACH INCLUDE CROSS TRAINING, WHICH INVOLVES OUR EDUCATIONAL SPECIALISTS, LEARNING ABOUT THE HEAD START HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM, AND THEN OUR HEAD START TEACHERS LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES FOR OUR VERY LEARNING ABILITIES. THESE TEACHERS CO PLAN THEY TEACH AND THEY COPE PROGRESS MONITOR TOGETHER. TOP MODEL IS AT ITS CORE AROUND HIGH EXPECTATIONS. FOR ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY. ANOTHER QUOTE FROM OUR INCLUSION RESOLUTION THAT WE'RE SO VERY PROUD OF IS BASED ON HIGH EXPECTATIONS, AS WE KNOW THE RESEARCH RESOUNDINGLY SUPPORTS THAT HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS ONE OF THE MAIN DETERMINANTS IN HELPING OUR STUDENTS BOTH GENERAL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION REACH THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL EDUCATIONALLY . IN FACT, AS A DISTRICT WE ASCRIBE TO THE TENANTS OF WHAT'S CALLED COLLECTIVE TEACHER EFFICACY, AND THAT REFERS TO THE SHARED BELIEF THAT THROUGH OUR COLLECTIVE ACTION. EDUCATORS CAN

[02:05:05]

[02:10:02]

AND AS YOU CAN SEE THIS SCHOOL YEAR, WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT DEAL IN THE AREA OF INCLUSION.

WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL INCLUSION MODEL EXPANDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES PROGRAM, COLLABORATING WITH STATE PRESCHOOL AND FEE BASED PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS AND HAVE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED A WHAT WE CALL ONE OF A KIND CO TAUGHT HEAD START PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. SO NOW THAT WE REVIEWED WHERE WE'VE BEEN, AND WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE. HERE IS OUR PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR, THE 23 24 SCHOOL YEAR. WE WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE AND EXPAND INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IN L R PLAN INCLUDES EXPLORING ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO EXPAND THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDY PROGRAM AND POSSIBLY ADD CO TAUGHT TK CLASSROOMS TO OUR CURRENT CONTINUUM AS OUR PRESCHOOL STUDENTS MATRICULATED UP ADDITIONALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH GENERAL EDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE PRESCHOOL BASED AND HEAD START, AND WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN PLANNING WITH HEAD START FOR NEXT YEAR. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO EXPAND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL INCLUSION MODEL AS WELL AS EXPANDING ENHANCING OUR KOTA OFFERINGS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. AND AS A DISTRICT, WE ARE COMMITTED TO INCREASING THE INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES IN PRESCHOOL, ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS. WE ARE DEDICATED TO EXPANDING AND ENHANCING OUR CURRENT PROGRAMS AND USING THE DATA WE'VE GATHERED, GATHERED THUS FAR TO PAVE THE WAY FOR MORE INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THE FOLLOWING HERE ON THIS SLIDE OR TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STAFF AND OUR CO TAUGHT HEAD START PROGRAM AS WELL AS FROM OUR PARENTS WITHIN THE INCLUSIVE MIDDLE STC TEACHER IN THE HEAD START CO TEACHING DIE AD. SHE SAYS, AS AN SDC TEACHER. ONE OF THE BIGGEST BENEFITS IS THAT MY DEFINITION OF TYPICAL HAS BROADENED. I USED TO THINK THAT MY MAIN GOAL WAS TO HELP MY CHILDREN FIT INTO THIS TYPICAL BOX. SINCE WORKING IN THE HEAD START CLASSROOMS. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE TYPICAL BOXES HUGE AND EVERYONE CAN FIT. D D. MITCHELL, THE HEAD START CO TEACHER. WHO TEACHES WITH ALICIA STATES, I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW CHILDREN STEP INTO A LEADERSHIP ROLE. THEY LEARNED FROM THE TEACHERS WHO ARE HELPING OTHER STUDENTS. AND THEN THEY WILL TAKE ON THAT ROLE THEMSELVES, HELPING NEW STUDENTS WITH THE ROUTINES, REMINDING THEM OF THE RULES AND EVEN SHOWING THEM HOW TO DO SELF HELP SKILLS. AND THEN THE TOPAZ HEAD START. CENTER DIRECTOR KAREN VACCARO STATES THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST BENEFITS IS HOW MUCH THE TEACHERS HAVE LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER. ALICIA HAS LEARNED ABOUT HEAD START, AND DEEDEE HAS LEARNED ABOUT SPECIAL EDUCATION AND THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE AND WHAT KIND OF STRATEGIES TO USE THE CHILDREN BENEFIT FROM ALL OF IT. BOTH STUDENTS WITH AND WITHOUT I PS AND THEN LASTLY, FROM PARENTS, KELLY AND ROCHELLE CORNEA. PARENTS HAVE 1/7 GRADER AS THE PARENTS OF MULTIPLES KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THEY SAY WE ARE WELL AWARE OF THE BENEFITS OF INCLUSION. BERNARDO'S FOCUS ON INCLUSION HAS BEEN A HUGE BENEFIT TO OUR SON IN ADJUSTING BOTH TO LARGER PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TO THE NEW DEMANDS OF GRADE SEVEN INCLUSION HAS INSTILLED IN HIM A NATURAL KINDNESS.

WILLINGNESS TO HELP AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIVERSITY OF PEOPLE, AND WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT IT IS A HUGE BENEFIT TO ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE IT. AND OF COURSE, WHAT? AND HERE'S A VIDEO BRINGS BRINGS PRESCHOOL RIGHT HERE TO YOU.

MHM. SAY WHAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. FOR THIS WORLD KEEPS SPINNING ANY. SORRY. POPULATION. VIEWING I.

[02:15:08]

HUH I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING WILL CAN TRY. AND THERE'S A ROLL ALONG. THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS JUST WHAT THEY SAY. I WANT TO TURN. THINGS THAT JUST SHARE THIS LOVE. SINGING AND DANCING. THIS WILL BE SPENDING. SPINNING AROUND. SO LASTLY, IN KEEPING WITH THE ADOPTION OF OUR INCLUSION BOARD RESOLUTION, WE BELIEVE ALL STUDENTS DESERVE TO BE CELEBRATED AND EDUCATED BY INTENTIONAL DESIGN, REGARDLESS OF THE SETTING. THIS SHARED BELIEF IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE EXPANDED LEARNING DEPARTMENT UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DR GEORGE LOPEZ.

AND HE'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN THE SUCCESS OF THIS PLAN TRULY, AND THEN, IN ADDITION, THE DEDICATION AND GUIDANCE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESCHOOL TEAM PROVIDED BY OUR PROGRAM SPECIALIST, THIS IS JAMIE NASH IN THE BACK THERE, ALONG WITH THE HELP OF OUR PRESCHOOL TOSA, JOY GOODRICH AS WELL AND, OF COURSE, THE PHENOMENAL INSTRUCTION BY OUR OWN EDUCATIONAL SPECIALIST, ALICIA BROWN HAS BEEN CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP.

THIS ENTIRE TEAM HAS MADE IT THEIR PRIORITY TO ENSURE THAT OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS THRIVE IN L R TEAM IS COMMITTED TO LIVING OUT THIS RESOLUTION. SO THANK YOU AND ENSURING THAT OUR CHILDREN CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED WITH INCLUSIVE SETTINGS TO ENHANCE THEIR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND IMPROVE THE LIKELY TO SUCCESS NOW AND IN THEIR FUTURE. AND LASTLY, OUR LAST QUOTE FROM THE RESOLUTION IS THE PLACENTA OR BLENDING UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CELEBRATES ALL STUDENTS AND STRIVES TO MODEL EXCELLENCE. COLLABORATION INTEGRITY. AND INNOVATION WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR EVERY STUDENT IN EVERY SETTING. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. I JUST LOVE THIS. THIS IS SO I MEAN, YOU JUST WANT TO TEAR UP AND IT'S JUST AWESOME. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. UM GOSH, IT MAKES ME THINK BACK TO BACK IN THE DAY 10 15 YEARS AGO, IT FEELS LIKE WE WERE TOURING CLASSES AND TALKING ABOUT THAT CO TEACHING MODEL THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, SO IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE WHERE THIS HAS GONE AND, ACTUALLY, UM , DIVE SO DEEP IN, UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS I HAVE RELATED TO THE STATE PRESCHOOL AND HEAD START AND THE STUDENTS THAT ARE THE CHILDREN THAT THEY WOULD WOULD HELP. UM VERSUS WHAT WE COULD DO SO FOR EXAMPLE, HEAD START I KNOW CAN GO DOWN AS FAR AS AGE ZERO. UM IS THERE ANY PLAN TO WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL AS WELL TO GETTING DOWN UNDERNEATH THAT THAT AGE AND ASSESSING AND GETTING THEM INTO THAT PIPELINE AS WELL AS WE'RE MOVING UP? UM, THE SECOND WOULD BE. UM CAN WE PLEASE DO A LONG TERM STUDY? THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT TIME TO START THIS AND TO LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD DO FOR KIDS ACADEMICALLY EMOTIONALLY. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT BULLYING AND WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT'S AS PEOPLE GET OLDER, AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, AND THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR SHIFT AND WHAT KIDS ARE USED TO AND SO THEY WON'T HAVE THOSE STIGMAS ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT, SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE A LONG TERM STUDY, UM DEVELOPED AND HOW WE CAN LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR SUBSET OF KIDS. UM JUST TO LEARN FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING AND MOVE ON FOR THE FUTURE. SO I LOVE

[02:20:05]

THAT EVEN IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT THESE PROGRAMS ARE WORKING AND JUST EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS EXPANDS, I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF FOLLOWING THESE STUDENTS LONG TERM AND SEEING THE GROWTH THAT THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE AND AS A GRANDMA OF AN ARTISTIC PRESCHOOLER. I'M SO SAD THAT HE LIVES OUT OF STATE, AND WE CANNOT PARTICIPATE. UM BECAUSE THE PROGRAM HE IS RECEIVING IS NOT EVEN NEAR THIS. AND UM I'M JUST JEALOUS, BUT I'M GRATEFUL THAT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU. TO YOUR TEAM DOCTOR LOPEZ, FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO MAKING THIS UM THIS DREAM. REALLY A REALITY FOR OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, OKAY. SO I WOULD JUST SAY, OBVIOUSLY LOVE INCLUSION. UM AND I'VE YOU KNOW, YOU TALK TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND FROM OTHER PLACES. AND I WILL SAY THAT I JUST SAW YOU KNOW THE PHONES KIND OF GO OFF A LOT. YOU REALLY CAN'T DO TOO MUCH, BUT I DID SEE A BOARD MEMBER FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT. SAY, OH, MY GOSH, I'M WATCHING YOUR PRESENTATION. THIS IS AMAZING. HOW DO WE DO THIS IN OUR DISTRICT? SO THANK YOU, EVERYONE. FOR BEING EXAMPLE.

THIS IS AMAZING. THAT'S AWESOME . THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR PASSING THE BOARD RESOLUTION.

IT'S A IT'S A GREAT JUMPING OFF POINT. I TOO AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE UM, LONG TERM HOW THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO GO AS A FATHER WHO HAD A COUPLE OF KIDS THAT HAD I E. P S AND WE'RE IN SPECIALTY CLASSES. UM, YOU KNOW , TREMENDOUS RESPECT TO THE TEACHERS BACK THERE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED THERE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND ON THIS, SO I AND THE BOARD TRULY APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS SO THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I COULD ADD JUST ONE LAST THING. THE FACT THAT OUR PRESCHOOL TEACHERS AT ST PRESCHOOL AND HEAD START ARE GETTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO WORK WITH STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. UM WELL, SO BENEFIT WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO AND BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT'S HAPPENING BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO OUR CLASSES. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM JUST BECAUSE NOW THEY'VE GOT THIS ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE EXACTLY. THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT WITH THAT SAID ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, I SUPPOSE. NEGATIVE MOTION CARRIES FIVE. OH, EXCELLENT. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. IT IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD AND I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD VOTE TO TABLE UM THREE AND FOUR. OF GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW SUPERINTENDENT COMING IN SOON, AND THESE ARE POLICIES THAT I BELIEVE THAT, UM. THIS PERSON CAN GIVE SOME VALUABLE INPUT IN AND IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF CHANGES INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DO

[02:30:01]

I'M JUST THINKING THAT INSTEAD OF POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO DO THIS TWICE. WE CAN JUST WAIT BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY PRESSING. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S PRESSING IN EITHER ONE OF THESE? THE STORAGE TEAM. THE BOOSTER CLUBS WILL PROBABLY BE PREPARING THEIR ASK LETTERS. FOR THE SPRING FOR THE FALL SPORTS NOW AND SO, UM, WE COULD START IT MIDWAY THROUGH NEXT YEAR. WE JUST SAY THAT BECAUSE IT MAY BE TOO LATE. UH IF WE SPORTS RIGHT FOR THE FALL SPORTS THAT BE THE IMPLICATION OF THAT. ANY GRADUATION. STUFF THAT IS PRESSING TO ME. THIS IS THE FOLLOWING ANYWAYS, RIGHT? YEAH, THIS WOULD BE THE FOLLOWING THE CAMBRIDGE A I C E. IN IT. DOES THAT HAVE ANY IMPACT FOR THIS YEAR SINCE THAT'S MORE NEW UM, UNDER A NATIONAL OF UNITS FOR SUMMER SCHOOL. DOES THAT? I THINK IT STAYED THE SAME CORRECT. I'M JUST SAYING, IF IT'S PART, YOU KNOW JUST SO WE DON'T JUST DOUBLE CHECK REDUNDANT. YEAH, I MEAN, UH, THE BOARD WANTED US TO CHANGE OUR POLICY FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOLS, AND WE DID THAT WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD CHANGE THE POLICY, BUT NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE POLICY. OR JUST JUST DELAYING DELAYING IT. SO THE OLD POLICY IS IN PLACE. DOES THAT AFFECT THE SUMMER SCHOOL ISSUE? H HOLD ON BECAUSE IT WAS CHANGED WITHOUT BOARD AUTHORITY. SO DIDN'T WE REVERT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LIMITS THE PREVIOUS POLICY LIMITS TO SUMMER SCHOOL CLASSES FOR FOUR YEARS AND LET'S CARRY ON WITH THAT ONE. HEY, I TRIED GUYS. SO DO YOU WANT TO START OVER WITH YOUR EMOTIONS? START OVER. UM WELL, HOLD ON THE SCHOOL CONNECTED ORGANIZATIONS. DO YOU SHOULD WE TABLE THAT ONE, AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO NUMBER FOUR. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ALARMING IN THERE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT SO THEY COULD START THE SCHOOL YEAR FRESH AND IT GIVES THE STAFF THE SUMMER TO PREPARE AND BOOSTERS AND EVERYBODY TO GET THERE. THINGS TOGETHER INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET IT TOGETHER DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS FOR HALFWAY THROUGH I JUST THEY'RE GOING TO BE A FEW NEW REGULATIONS FOR THEM. SO YEAH. IF I CAN ADD, YOU WANT TO TABLE OR DO YOU WANT TO THINK WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD? MOVE FORWARD WITH THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU ANYWAY, WITH THE MATH TOPIC WE BROUGHT FORWARD SO THERE WAS A NEW SUPERINTENDENT. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT AT THAT TIME NOT GOING TO BE A FINAL.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF THE YEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO LATER ON. AND WE CAN. WE WERE PLANNING TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU IN MAY, BUT WE CAN HOLD OFF ON BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU UNTIL NEW SUPERINTENDENT COMES ON BOARD. SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING, SO WE WERE STILL WATCHING FOR APPROVAL BECAUSE IT PUTS IN THINGS INTO PLACE. BUT WE WITH THE INTENT OF COMING BACK TO YOU AGAIN FOR CHANGES TO THAT WITH THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT CAN WEIGH, YOU KNOW, OKAY.

ALRIGHT, SO NUMBER THREE. ALRIGHT SO NUMBER THREE. I'LL NEED EMOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT BOARD POLICY. 12 30 SCHOOL CONNECTED ORGANIZATIONS, SECOND READING SECOND. SO UM, THIS WAS BROUGHT BACK TO YOU BROUGHT TO YOU AT AT FEBRUARY. WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS ALL YEAR. REALLY? AND THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD WITH MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT DONATION REQUEST . UM AND SO, UM, SINCE WE LAST BROUGHT IT TO YOU, WE'VE MADE A COUPLE OF MINOR CHANGES. WE CLARIFY THE TEACHERS AND COACHES MAY HAVE ADVISORY POSITIONS WITH THE BOOSTER CLUBS. BECAUSE MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES WERE ALSO PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT. AND WE ARE CLEARLY COACHES AND PROGRAM TEACHER SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BOARD BOOSTER CLUBS. AND SO, UM I DO BELIEVE THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON THIS WILL BE THE ASKED LETTERS, WHICH WILL BRING TO US AND, UM AND I CAN WORK WITH THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT. IF THAT PERSON'S NAME ON THAT PROCESS, AND SO WE THAT PERSON CAN LEARN IN THE PROCESS AS WE GO FORWARD. UM AND LASTLY, WE DO PLAN TO INCREASE OUR FUNDING FOR ASSISTANT COACHES AS A PART OF THIS WHICH WE SAID, AND WE'LL HAVE PROP 28 NEXT YEAR DOING SEE INCREASED FUNDING FOR STAFFING FOR OUR ARTS AS WELL, SO WE SHOULD BE HELPED BY BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AS WE GO FORWARD. COULD I ASK A QUESTION? UM REGARDING THIS ONE, SO TEACHERS AND COACHES MAY HAVE ADVISORY ROLES AND THEIR TEAMS CONNECTED SCHOOLS, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE VOTING RIGHTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

[02:35:01]

YEAH I WAS GOING TO ADD THAT TOO, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME COACHES WHO ARE ACTUALLY VOTING AND HAVING ROLES ON THESE BOOSTER PROGRAMS. AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT THAT. UM, AND THEN ALSO TO I THINK WE NEED TO AH, UM SOME PARENTS HAVE SAID THAT THEY'VE GONE TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SCHOOL AND REPORTED SOME OF THE BOOSTER VIOLATIONS AND THEY'RE TOLD. WELL THE BOOSTERS AREN'T UNDER OUR AUTHORITIES. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. SO I THINK WE SHOULD CLEARLY STATE HERE WHO THE BOOSTERS FALL UNDER. UM AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT I WAS ALSO THINKING AS I ASKED THIS QUESTION, UM, I THINK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND I ASKED, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT. WE HAVE THE ATHLETE CODE OF CONDUCT. UM BUT DO WE HAVE THE COACHES CODE OF CONDUCT? AND SO, UM, MAYBE WE COULD LOOK INTO MAYBE ADDING SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WELL THAT JUST TALKS ABOUT UM. YOU KNOW, THE CIVIC CENTER ACT, AND THAT'S JUST IS THAT A SEPARATE THING? I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHY I'M JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE TO SEE.

WHERE WOULD THAT FALL? LIKE WHERE WOULD THAT FALL? BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THE SPORTS STUFF IS RIGHT HERE. BUT I THINK IT'S MORE EXPANSIVE. I WOULD THINK THAT WE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. I DON'T KNOW IF TAGGING IT ON HERE. I'M JUST I'M THROWING IT OUT THERE. YES. I WROTE IT DOWN , SO I WOULDN'T FORGET, AND CHF HAS THAT COACHES CODE OF COACHES , RIGHT? BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR DISTRICT? WE CAN LOOK AT THAT YOU CAN BRING HER BACK. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE COACHES, DIRECTORS AND ADVISERS AND NON VOTING ROLLS. AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MISS BUCK, WE WANT THE COACH USED TO BE ON THERE IS IT TO BE INTERACTING WITH THE BUTCHER CLOSE, BUT NOT TO BE VOTING ON. DON'T WANT THEM TO BE VOTING ON THERE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WELL, ARE THERE ANY BOOSTER CLUBS, GROUPS, ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE WOULD FALL UNDER THIS THAT WOULDN'T HAVE A STAFF MEMBER THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IS MY POINT, SO NOT STILL BE THEIR CHOICE TO THEY COULD CHOOSE NOT TO ATTEND. I MEAN, YOU COULD HAVE A COACH WHO SAYS I LET THE BUSHEL CLUB DO THEIR BUSINESS AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOOSTER CLUB, WHO IS THE ASSIGNED STAFF MEMBER TO THAT NOT NECESSARY? I DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE A VOTING ROLLS. BUT THAT SPECIFIC LIKE IF WE HAVE TALKING ABOUT BAND WHO IS THE STAFF BAND? IT WOULDN'T IT WOULDN'T BAND. IT WOULD BE THE BAND DIRECTOR SPORTS. IT WOULD BE THE COACH. ARE THERE ANY OTHER GROUPS OUT THERE THAT THIS WOULD FALL UNDER? THAT WOULDN'T HAVE SOMEBODY. THERE SHOULD BE A LEADER OF EVERY ORGANIZATION THAT THEY'RE PART OF. UH HUH. OKAY JUST DIDN'T SAY SPECIFICALLY, SO I JUST WANT TO ASK. AND CAN WE DO WE KNOW FROM RIGHT NOW, WHO DID? WHO DID THE BOOSTERS FALL UNDER SO THAT THEY FALL UNDER THE BOARDS WITH THE BECAUSE THEY'RE AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION SO, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE THEIR THEIR CHARTERS AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO NOT RE APPROVE THEIR THEIR AUTHORIZATIONS. SO IT'S A AND THE PRINCIPLES ARE THERE ARE GREAT CONDUIT FOR THAT. AND SO THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WORK WITH THAT. BUT IN THE END THE GROUP OF AUTHORITY OVER THEM IS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, AND THEIR DIRECT REPORT WOULD BE THE PRINCIPAL CORRECT. OKAY, SO BORED AND THEN PRISON. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? CONCERNS. RIGHT.

SO, UM. WE HAVE OUR EMOTION AND SECONDED ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RIGHT? JUST A SECOND. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ARE WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK THEN FOR A THIRD READING, THIS IS IT. THIS IS APPROVING. OKAY WITH THOSE CHANGES THAT WE JUST MADE EXACTLY RIGHT, OKAY. DESPITE TO VERIFY THAT THE AMENDED CHANGES IN THE MINUTES FOR NEXT MONTH, YOU'LL SEE THOSE CHANGES IN THERE. OK OK, BACK TO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. THE MOTION CARRIES FIVE OH, I'LL MAKE A

[02:40:03]

THAT'S THAT'D BE GOOD. OKAY, SO HOW IT CURRENTLY STANDS? WE'RE GONNA BOAT ON IS THAT UNDERSTANDING, OKAY? IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED, AND THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE APPROVED AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH ANOTHER CHANGE. OKAY, SO ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR HIGH BY THE MOTION CARRIES FIVE OH, THANK YOU. ALRIGHT AGENDA MOTION. PLEASE MAKE A MOTION TO REVISE BOARD POLICY 6161.1 SELECTION AND EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. FIRST READING. YOU CAN COMBINE THESE TWO AND DO YOU WANT TO COMBINE AND DELETE COMBINE THEM AND THEN FURTHER I WOULD LIKE TO DELETE BOARD POLICY. 6161 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. FIRST READING SECOND . ALL RIGHT, DR. ADAMSON. THANK YOU AGAIN BEFORE EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL ONCE AGAIN ON THE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICIES, 6161.1, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE PROCESS BY WHICH INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS SHALL BE REVIEWED FOR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD. THE REVISIONS INCORPORATE THE DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION PROVIDED BY YOU AT THE MARCH 14TH MEETING, INCLUDING THE CHANGE TO THE LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS THAT REQUIRES ALL NOVELS TO BE BOARD APPROVED PRIOR TO PILOTING. ALSO INCLUDED IN THE REVISION IS LANGUAGE RECOMMENDED BY CSB A AND THE PROPOSAL TO DELETE BOARD POLICY 6161 AS YOU CAN SEE, CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TRANSFER ANY RELEVANT LANGUAGE FROM BOARD POLICIES 6161 TO THE NEWLY REVISED BOARD POLICY, AND IT IS MY PLEASURE AT THIS TIME TO PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR FIRST READING REVISED BOARD POLICY 6161.1. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS? I HAVE A SUGGESTION. MY SUGGESTION . UM AS WE GET INTO THE CORN EXTENDED READING LISTS THAT WE

[02:45:01]

THEY HAVE AN OPTION TO OPT OUT THERE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND THEY GET TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS . AND I THINK, UM, WE ALL WANT PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS. I AM THE FIRST ONE THAT'S GOING TO SAY THAT NOT ALL BOOKS SHOULD BE READ BY ALL CHILDREN, AND THAT'S WHY PARENT NOTIFICATION IS SO IMPORTANT, SO I AGREE WITH THE CHANGING OF THE LANGUAGE I HAD AT MY OWN THOUGHTS. I JUST SAID ALL PARENTS AND GUARDIANS WILL BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE. THEIR CHILD WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN A NOVEL BEING PILOTED. I WAS GOING TO SAY, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO WHAT'S ALREADY THERE. SO I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE IT. DOCUMENTED THAT PARENTS ARE UH, NOTIFIED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T BEING NOTIFIED. AND I THINK THAT ONE STEP OF THE BOARD SAYING YEAH, GO AHEAD AND PILOT IT IS GREAT. SO I THINK, ADDING , BOTH IS GOOD. AT THAT POINT, YOU'RE TAKING OUT ANY ANY VALUABLE INFORMATION FROM PARENTS FROM EDUCATORS FROM FROM STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT PROCESS. MHM. WE HAD STUDENTS THAT CAME TO THE BOARD AND ASKED TO ADD MORE OF THIS TYPE OF BOOK. UM SO FOR US TO REMOVE IT BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO PILOT IT AND SEE IF IT IS VALUABLE. WE HAVE AN EXTENSION, EXTENSIVE LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS WITH REALLY EDUCATED EXPERTS ON THOSE PANELS . IT'S NOT JUST ONE OR TWO PEOPLE, EITHER. IT'S MULTIPLE PEOPLE I THINK WE HAD THE MEMO SAID. WE HAD 25 PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE LITERATURE REVIEW COMMITTEE. THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO EVALUATE. UM AND THAT'S THE STEP AFTER WE HAVE, UM, WE HAVE OUR EXECUTIVE CABINET. LOOK AT IT. WE SHOULD NOT BE THE FIRST LINE OF RESPONSE. WE SHOULD BE THE LAST LINE OF RESPONSE AND I FEEL LIKE BY DOING THIS. WE'RE OVERSTEPPING OUR BOARD AUTHORITY . UM BASED ON OUR OWN BYLAWS, WE'RE ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR THE LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS IN GENERAL. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT'S APPROVING IT, EVEN FOR PILOT IF IT'S APPROVED FOR PILOT BUT WHY DOES IT NEED TO GO TO THE REPRIEVE? YOU COMMITTEE IF WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED IT? UM SO I JUST THINK WE'RE STEPPING TOO FAR OVER. WE'RE OVERREACHING, AND WE'RE NOT GIVING THE PARENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THAT PROCESS. I DISAGREE. AND THAT'S FINE. I JUST FEEL LIKE BY DOING THIS. WE'RE LEAVING OUT THE COMMUNITY VOICE. WE'RE NOT IF WE'RE MAKING A DECISION WITHOUT LETTING THE COMMUNITY WAY IN. WHAT CAN YOU DEFINE? MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. DEFINE WHAT IT SAYS BOARD APPROVAL. WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF THAT? BOARD APPROVAL PRIOR TO BEING PILOTED BOARD APPROVAL RIGHT PRIOR TO BEING PILOTED, AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO US TO BE BUT WHY WOULD BUT IF WE APPROVE IT, WHY WOULD WE NEED TO APPROVE IT A SECOND TIME? THAT'S FINE, THEN WE JUST DO IT THEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MORE TRANSPARENCY IS A PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE THIS AS MORE TRANSPARENCY. I SEE THIS AS S BEING THE ONES THAT ARE DETERMINING BEFORE THE PROCESS EVEN TAKES PLACE. SO WE'RE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS BEFORE IT GETS TO THE STUDENTS. WELL, YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE GETS TO THE STUDENTS. THAT'S NOT HOW I. THAT'S NOT HOW I READ THIS BOOK PRIOR TO BEING PILOTED. RIGHT. SO BEFORE IT EVEN IS A PILOT BOOK OR A TEMPORARY BOOK OR WHATEVER THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE STEPS PRIOR TO THAT. NO, THIS WOULD MAKE IT THE FIRST STEP.

THAT'S NOT BASED ON WHAT WE ARE SAYING HERE WITH THIS LANGUAGE IS THAT BEFORE A BOOK CAN BE PUT IN FRONT OF A STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM, THE BOARD NEEDS TO APPROVE IT. YOU'RE SAYING BEFORE IT GOES THROUGH ANY PROCESS OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW COMMITTEE, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE LITERATURE REVIEW COMMITTEE. THEN IT COMES TO THE BOARD. THEY DECIDE AND THEY PICK AND CHOOSE.

IS THIS APPROPRIATE? DO WE WANT THIS IN THE CLASSROOMS AND WHY? AND THEN THEY GO TO THE BOARD?

[02:50:03]

WOULD IT BE HELPFUL TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN CORE AND EXTENDED ON THIS THEN? MAYBE ONLY BRING EXTENDED ONLY BRING CORE. THAT'S PROBABLY GETTING TOO COMPLICATED. JUST MAKE IT SIMPLE UNTIL ONE MORE IDEA OUT THERE. IF THE IDEA IS TRANSPARENCY, THERE IS ONE MORE WAY TO DO THAT MIGHT BE YOU CAN HAVE AN INFORMATION ITEM OF BOARD AGENDAS WHERE YOU PUT FORTH OVER ITS ALL OFFICIAL AND YOU REVIEW IT AT A BOARD MEETING AND JUST SAID THE FOLLOWING BOOKS ARE BEING PILOTED. IT'S NOT A VOTING ITEM, BUT IT'S A TRANSPARENCY ITEM. AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD OR NOT, BUT IT WOULD CERTAINLY TAKE UP BEING ADDRESSED SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS OUT THERE FOR, UM BOARD BOARDING TWICE IN THE BOOK, AND IT WOULD CERTAINLY ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, TOO, SO THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT OPTION. SO WHY I GUESS MY THOUGHT IS, UM DOING? I MEAN, I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO VOTE TWICE. LIKE WHAT? WE HAVE TO VOTE TWICE. OR COULD WE JUST VOTE ONCE? WELL, THEN, AFTER THE BUT AFTER THE PILOTING, THEN WE ARE ESSENTIALLY SUPPOSED TO GET FEEDBACK FROM WHAT HAPPENS PILOT AND SO WE SHOULD GET MORE DATA AND YOU WOULD WANT TO VOTE TWICE CAUSE SOMETIMES THE BOOK IS PILOTED. EVEN IF WE ALL THINK IT'S GREAT, AND THE TEACHER MAY FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW AFTER TEACHING IT AND SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT COULD BE FEEDBACK THAT COULD IMPACT THE FINAL DECISION, OR IT COULD IMPACT THEM EVEN BRINGING IT OR YOU BRINGING IT EVEN TO RECOMMENDATION. IF IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE PILOT. WE ALREADY GO THROUGH A PROCESS

[02:55:07]

NO, IT'S GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO STUDENTS THAT I'M JUST TRYING TO PROTECT STUDENTS. THAT'S ALL. I THINK WE SHOULD PROTECT STUDENTS TO, BUT YOU'RE ALSO TAKING AWAY THE VOICE FROM PARENTS. YOU'RE TAKING AWAY THE YES, YOU ARE. HOW IS IT THAT WE'RE TAKING AWAY VOICES FROM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWING THE PARENTS TO DETERMINE IF WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS? THE PARENTS HAVE TO BE PART OF THE PARENTS HAVEN'T BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS AT ALL. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND BEEN PART OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS. THE PARENTS IN THE COMMITTEE, RIGHT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PARENTS ALTOGETHER. THEY HAVE HAVE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAS GONE ON IN THE CLASSROOM ABOUT PILOTING BOOKS. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WHICH IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THE FORT 14 DAY, 30 DAY, WHATEVER NOTICE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE PARENTS FROM THE PARENT OUT BEFORE THEY PILOT, BUT I THINK WE'RE OVERSTEPPING OUR BOUNDS AND WE'RE VIOLATING OUR OWN BYLAWS.

I THINK THAT'S EXTREME, I THINK, ADDING THE PARENT NOTIFICATION IS GOOD. SO YOU'RE SAYING TO KEEP IT AS IT'S WRITTEN AND ADD THE PARENT NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE PILOT IN THE CLASSROOM? YES, I WOULD. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO . AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND CHANGE IT IF IT'S TOO CUMBERSOME ER OR IF IT'S NOT GOING APPROPRIATELY . LIKE WE SAID, IT'S THERE. IT'S THE FIRST READING, SO THAT'S A LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT, UM, MAYBE DIGEST A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A OF CONSIDERING PUTTING A LIST INSTEAD OF US HAVING TO DETERMINE THAT AND VOTE ON IT TO A MOVE IT FOR THAT. MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DOCUMENTED IN THERE AND WE SEE WHAT THAT IS, AND WE COULD PULL THINGS AS NEEDED. YEAH I REALLY LIKE IT AS A LIST.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE INFORMATIONAL. I'M LIKE THESE ARE THE BOOKS THAT WILL BE PILOTED. AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST HIGH SCHOOL, IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM YOU KNOW ALL GRADES. KINDERGARTEN NAP IS THAT CORRECT? FOCUSING MOSTLY ON HIGH SCHOOL. WELL, I KNOW WE'RE FOCUSING HIGH SCHOOL, BUT IT WOULD APPLY, BUT IT WOULD APPLY FOR ALL GRADES. OKAY SO HOLD ON MY QUESTION. WHAT? SORRY SORRY, SEAN. MY QUESTION IS BENEFIT IF THERE'S A LIST AND SO WE SEE THIS LIST AND WE WANT TO PULL FROM THE LIST IF WE DON'T AGREE. ISN'T THAT THE SAME THING AS THAT'S KIND OF THE SAME THING? IT'S JUST AN INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. THERE'S NO VOTING ON SOMEONE JUST SAID YOU COULD PULL FROM THE LIST BEFORE IT GOES. SO I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THAT. I SAID THAT I WOULD. I WOULD PROBABLY TAKE THAT BACK. I WOULD I WOULD WANT THE LIST TO BE AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT AND OPT OUT. UM ALL OF THAT. UM BUT I THINK WE STILL NEED TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT PROCESS. IF PEOPLE WANT TO OPT OUT BEFORE THAT, THAT'S GREAT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT THE ABILITY FOR OUR TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO LEARN THIS KIND OF MATERIAL IF THEIR PARENTS ARE SAYING THAT IT'S OKAY, SO LET'S TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER, THEN WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS ON THE LITERARY COMMITTEES. AND WHEN THE TEACHERS ARE WANTING TO PILOT THE BOOKS, WE DON'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT HERE. THE REASON WHY HERE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. WHY AREN'T WE HAVING THE TEACHERS COME IN AND PRESENT? TO THE BOARD. WHY THEY

[03:00:02]

WE WILL ALSO BE THE MIDDLE ONES. AND WE DO PRESENT A SUMMARY OF THAT INFORMATION, BUT BUT WE ARE PRESENTING IT AS PART OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WE BRING TO YOU TO MAKE A DECISION. BUT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY DATA HER FEEDBACK FROM THE LITTER. WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T HAVE A LIST OF WHY THE BOOK WAS SUBMITTED LIKE THEY FILL OUT A FORM, RIGHT? CORRECT AND WE DON'T GET TO SEE. I MEAN, JUST SAYING WE'RE NOT INFORMED AND SO BUT IF IT'S MADE IT THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS, WE'RE RELYING ON THE PROCESS AND THE PEOPLE. THERE'S NO OVERSIGHT UP UNTIL THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS. THERE HAS BEEN NONE. I MEAN, LITERALLY, AND IT WAS SAID THAT THE PARENTS WEREN'T EVEN BEING NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS PILOTED. SO IS THAT THE CASE THAT PARENTS WEREN'T NOTIFIED? THEY'RE USUALLY NOTIFIED AT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. I MEAN, I GET I GET NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. THAT'S OUR ISSUE. I THINK THAT TO CHANGE SO THAT THAT'S THE STICKING POINT.

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN . PARENTS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPT OUT, BUT WE SHOULDN'T REMOVE THE ABILITY TO ADD. ADD NOVELS AND ADD LITERATURE. IT WOULD ALMOST SEEM THAT IF, UM IF WE WERE GOING TO GET TO APPROVE A BOOK THAT WE WOULD ALREADY HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT WAS FROM THE PARENTS AND FROM THE TEACHERS PRIOR TO TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS. UM YOU KNOW, AT THE LAST MINUTE, I GUESS. WELL WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR THE PILOT PART OF IT BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT AVAILABLE, BUT WE GET THE FORM THAT THEY FILL OUT AND WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL READING GROUPS THOUGHT ABOUT IT FROM THE L. R.

C THERE IS WE HAVEN'T GIVEN THE INDIVIDUAL FORMS. WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IS JUST DO A SUMMARY OF EVERYTHING AND GIVE YOU THE RESULTS OF THE DATA. YOU KNOW HOW MANY WERE IN FAVOR? HOW MANY WERE AGAINST IT? AND THEN A SUMMARY OF SOME AND SOMETIMES EVEN PROVIDING THOSE COMMENTS AND YOU'LL SEE WHEN THIS IS A REGULAR PRESENTS THIS EVENING. SHE HAS YOU KNOW SOME OF THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WILL BE SHARED WITH YOU. YEAH. OKAY. SO IN THE . ARE WE CLEAR? WELL I'M HEARING TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS WOULD YOU COULD BRING BACK TO YOU TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS. AND SO WHAT? HOW HOW? HOW DO YOU FEEL BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE THE VOTING OR DO YOU FEEL PILOT AND THE PARENTS? YOU KNOW, GO BEFORE THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL AND THAT THE PARENTS ARE NOTIFIED, ADDING THAT THING IN OR ARE YOU FOR BOTH SIDES? SO WHAT WOULD BE THE I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING AN OPT OUT FOR SURE. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN THERE AS WELL. UM AND THE FACT THAT I FOUND OUT THAT BOTH OF THESE NOVELS WERE ALREADY IN THE OTHER CATEGORY IN WHICH THEIR STUDENTS WERE ALREADY STARTING TO READ IT WHERE THERE WAS, UH WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU SAID MR REGULAR? THAT WAS A EXTENDED IN A CORE SECTION , SO IT WAS ALREADY OUT THERE AND I FELT LIKE THAT WAS NOT ALLOWING US TO PROTECTION FOR SOME STUDENTS THAT WERE ALREADY BEING PRESENTED WITH THIS MATERIAL. SO UM I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP LIKE TO KEEP THE WORDING, AS IS BUT ALSO ADD, UM THE PARENTS OPT OUT PRIOR. OKAY BUT THIS IS LIKE I SAID, THIS IS OUR FIRST READING ON IT. AND WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DIGEST ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA PUT TOGETHER MORE INFORMATION FOR US IN ORDER THAT WILL MAKE NOT ONLY US A LITTLE MORE SUBTLE, BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY. LITTLE MORE SUBTLE. OKAY OKAY. I REALLY HONESTLY FEEL LIKE IF THERE WAS SOME TRANSPARENCY LIKE WE I KNOW MYSELF AS A BOARD MEMBER. I FEEL LIKE WE DON'T GET A LOT OF INFORMATION LIKE SOMETIMES WE COME TO THE MEETINGS WITH A LACK OF INFORMATION AS WE HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS UP HERE. UM A LOT OF STUFF GETS TO US AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, LIKE THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE ASKED AS BOARD MEMBERS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS DURING THE MEETINGS TO ASK THINGS IT WAS SENT TO US TODAY, I THINK AT THREE O'CLOCK AND SO, LIKE, THREE O'CLOCK WE'RE READY TO, YOU KNOW, WALK OUT THE DOOR TO COME TO THESE MEETINGS, AND SO SOMETIMES YOU GET HERE AND MAYBE THE INFORMATION IS THERE. I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAD THE INFORMATION AHEAD OF TIME, AND IT WAS VERY TRANSPARENT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER AND IT WOULDN'T UM, NECESSARILY BE SO DRAMATIC UP HERE WHEN IN THE BOARD MEETINGS WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THESE THINGS OUT, I THINK THAT THE MORE TRANSPARENCY WE CAN HAVE A

[03:05:03]

BECAUSE THE OTHER POLICY THANK YOU. OH, YOU'RE RIGHT. WHY? WHY DON'T I. WHY DON'T I TRY TO AMEND OR DELETE MY DELETED FOR AS AS A VOTE 3 TO 2, IT STILL IS DELETED THE FIRST READING, WE CAN COME BACK AND SEPARATE THEM WHEN WE DO THE OFFICIAL ONES, OKAY? OKAY, MOVING ON. LET ME GET A MOTION FOR NUMBER SEVEN, PLEASE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO REVISE BOARD POLICY. 93 23 AGENDA MEETING AND MATERIALS FIRST READING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY, DO WE WANT TO TABLE THIS TO TELL OUR NEW SUPERINTENDENT? IT'S HIS PRESENT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS. UM, I THINK IT DOES HAVE DIRECTLY TO DO WITH BEING A SUPERINTENDENT. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, OUR ROLES WE YOU KNOW, I, UM I DID ASK TRUSTEE YOUNGBLOOD ABOUT THAT, AND WE DO THINK BECAUSE OF HIS, YOU KNOW, STILL TRYING TO GET THINGS ON THE AGENDA. THIS IS DIRECTLY AFFECTING HIM AND IT IS AFFECTING THE PROCESS. BECAUSE AND SO WE HAD DISCUSSED THAT I BELIEVE YESTERDAY AND SO I I'M INTERVIEW HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THINGS ON THE AGENDA OCCASIONALLY. MHM. SO. HAS ANYONE BEEN DENIED? BUT IN SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA? I MEAN, MAYBE NOT AT THIS PARTICULAR MEETING, BUT AT A AT A FUTURE MEETING. PAST MEETINGS. THERE HAS BEEN SOME SOME ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN EITHER DELAYED, WHICH HAPPENS OR HAS BEEN DISMISSED. SO YES, IT HAS HAPPENED. YEAH OFTEN THAT'S WITH ATTORNEY AS WE CONSULT ATTORNEYS IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT PART SO HAS NOT BEEN A FINAL NO ON ANYTHING. OR IT'S BEST SPIN 56 MONTHS, DRAGGED OUT OR NOSE OR ARGUING AND CALLING ATTORNEYS AND I JUST THINK IT'S GOOD PRACTICE THAT BOARD PRESIDENT SUPERINTENDENT

[03:10:04]

BETTER WAY TO SAY IT, OR IS IT JUST STRIKE THE WHOLE THING? WE CAN STRIKE THE WHOLE THING AND THEN KEEP WORKING ON WHATEVER THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THE OTHER WAY WITH THE BOARD WITH THE

[03:15:01]

WASN'T THERE A POSSIBLY FIVE? WASN'T THERE A PLACE IN THE AGENDA ITSELF? THAT ADDED, UM REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA. WE TOOK THAT OUT WHEN WE PASSED THIS POLICY BECAUSE THE WAY TO DO IT WAS TO REQUESTED THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND I ACTUALLY MEAN SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS REDUNDANT. I BELIEVE TO TAKE TO KEEP IT IN THERE. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, UH WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING THAT POLICY BACK THEN. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, RIGHT, AND I MEAN, IT'S JUST A WAY OF RUNNING A BOARD MEETING WHERE YOU HAVE A NEW BUSINESS SECTION OF THE BOARD, BUT I YOU KNOW, WHILE I WAS HERE, WE DID NOT HAVE A BOARD FEEDBACK IN THOSE THINGS. IT WAS JUST, UH YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BRING UP THE IDEA, BUT THE DISCUSSIONS INTO REALLY WOULD BE JUST NOW AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER. BRINGING IT UP IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT AND NOT THE DISCUSSION. WELL, IF WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS IS THE FIRST READING, SO IF WE'RE CONCERNED, WE CAN ASK THE ATTORNEY. YEAH, SURE, THEY THERE'S A BETTER SUGGESTION. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM, IT'S A BAD IDEA. YEAH ALSO, I WAS GOING TO SAY FOLLOWING UP WITH THAT. THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON PAGE 28 IS STRICKEN THAT SAYS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY COMMENT ON ANY CONSENT AGENDA ITEM DURING PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OF THE MEETING AGENDA AND THAT'S STRICKEN ART. RIGHT THIS IS WHAT THE ADVICE OF OUR ATTORNEY AND I SPOKE TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE , UM AND IT'S WE, HE'S REVERTING TO TWO THINGS WE CHANGED BEFORE . IF YOU LOOK AT THE VERY THE THIRD, THE THIRD PARAGRAPH OF THE ITEM OF THE ENTIRE POLICY, UM, BEFORE WE HAD THE WAY WE DO THINGS WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION THAT WHERE PEOPLE CAN COMMENT ON ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA AND THE WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO IS THEY CAN DO IT BEFORE THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION , ITEM OR DURING AND WE HAVE ALWAYS OUR POLICY HAS BEEN TO DO BEFORE, UM OUR COUNCILS RECOMMENDED, ADDING THE YEAR DURING BECAUSE IT REMAINS AN OPTION FOR THE BOARD TO DO. UM EVEN THOUGH WE COULD WE COULD STILL STICK WITH OUR CURRENT PRACTICE OF SAYING THAT ONLY THIS ONE PUBLIC COMMENT AREA IN THERE I PERSONALLY THINK IT CLOUDS THE ISSUE. UM BUT WITH THAT IN MIND, A COUNCIL THOUGHT THAT THAT LAST SENTENCE THERE ABOUT CONSENT WAS REDUNDANT.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID THAT THEY COULD COMMENT ON ANYTHING IN THERE. AND SO THAT'S WHY HE RECOMMENDED NOT TO INCLUDE THAT. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT PEOPLE COULD PUBLIC MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT, RIGHT? I THINK THE TRICKY PART WAS THEY? THE PUBLIC DIDN'T REALLY KNOW IF WE WERE GOING TO PULL ANY CONSENT ITEMS. SO, UH, THAT WAS THE TIME IN WHICH IT ALLOWED THE PUBLIC TO MAKE THAT THAT THAT COMMENT ON IT. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, SO I CAN SEE WHERE IT WOULD BE A VALUABLE SPOT. OKAY. MY QUESTION ABOUT THIS IS BY ADDING THE WORDS ARE DURING IS THE PUBLIC COMMENT GOING TO BE LISTED IN THE AGENDA FOR THAT SPECIFIC ITEM, OR IS IT GONNA BE LIKE UM AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE MEETINGS LESS EFFICIENT. IF LIKE WE DECIDED. LET'S HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS, THEN YOU KNOW, WE'RE TAKING A BREAK. WE'RE DOING BLUE CARDS. WE'RE DOING A STOP AND THEN WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO CHANGE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT POLICY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY LIKE HOW LONG IS THAT PUBLIC COMMENT GOING TO BE AND HOW? WHAT'S THE TIME? AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE OUR MEETINGS EFFICIENT. I WANTED TO BE TRANSPARENT TO THOSE THAT COME THAT THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO SPEAK. AND SO I FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU ADD THE WORDS ARE DURING LIKE HOW IS I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY VAGUE IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, AS LONG AS IT'S LISTED IN THE AGENDA AND PRINTED PRIOR, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND THEN CHANGE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT. BOARD POLICY. SO IT'S EITHER ALL GREAT QUESTIONS, RIGHT? GREAT I LIKE OUR PREVIOUS POLICY BECAUSE IT'S VERY CLEAR. I MEAN AND HMM . WHAT THIS DOESN'T GIVE THE BOARD THE OPTION TO DO IT BEFORE OR YOU COULD WITH EVERY ITEM CHOOSE TO HAVE A WHOLE DIFFERENT PRACTICES. SAY IS ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM SIMILAR TO THE HEARING THAT YOU RAN EARLIER, UM I MY PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE AND WITH IT, AS IS PROPOSED, IS THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE READING THIS POLICY AND WONDERING WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? AND, UM I'D RATHER BE SUPER CLEAR. I RATHER BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS, SO NO ONE'S THINKING BECAUSE WE'VE HAD PEOPLE SAY, BUT I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT. AND YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT BEEN OUR POLICY OR PROCEDURE, SO THAT'S WHEN WE ADD THIS PART ABOUT OR DURING. I WOULD PREFER TO STRIKE IT AND KEEP IT AS AS WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE MEETINGS. UM I THINK IT HELPS KEEP THINGS CLEAR. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO ADD THIS, THEN WE GOT TO GO BACK AND REDO

[03:20:03]

WE GET TRAINING AND THEN WE ALL HAVE INPUT. NOT AT EVERY BOARD MEETING LIKE WHEN YOU'RE DOING.

THE PRESIDENT MEETS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT. YOU HAVE THE AGENDA THAT ONE OF ABOARD AN ADDITIONAL ONE ROTATING BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE TWO BOARD MEMBERS THERE. ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBER WITH ATTEND. AND WE JUST ROTATE BETWEEN BETWEEN THE NON PRESIDENT BOARD MEMBERS, AND I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING AND, UM, TRAINING. AND THEN ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE PRESIDENT, YEAH , I CAN TELL YOU THIS, I THINK WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL FOR ME TO BE IN WITH THE PREVIOUS, UH, PRESIDENT THAT WAS TALKING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT . THAT WOULD JUST MAKE IT SO MUCH SMOOTHER WHEN THE NEXT PERSON WOULD TAKE OVER LIKE THAT SUGGESTION, TOO? BECAUSE THEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE INPUT AND HONESTLY, WE WOULD ONLY ROTATE THROUGH TWICE THROUGH. THE WHOLE YEAR ANYWAY, SO IT WOULDN'T BE ADDITIONAL. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF EXTRA WORK FORCE. IT WOULD JUST BE MORE INPUT. I DID THAT. MY PREVIOUS DISTRICT. IT WORKED VERY WELL. GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS SO WE CAN ALSO ADD THAT, UM OH, STORY. I'M SORRY. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE. START SEEING THE JEOPARDY SONG. OKAY OKAY, SO WE HAVE EMOTION.

ALREADY. WE HAVE A SECOND AND THIS IS GOING TO BE WITH AMENDMENTS. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH THERE WILL BE CHANGES TO IT THAT WILL BRING BACK TO YOU THIS FIRST READING, SO WE'RE GOOD.

ALRIGHT SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I OPPOSED NOPE. MOTION. CURIOUS FIVE. OH, THANK YOU. OKAY I'LL

[CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION]

OKAY, SO WE'LL NEED A 2ND 2ND IT, OKAY? ALL RIGHT, DR. ADAMSON, IF YOU WOULD UM, CAN WE DISCUSS IT REALLY QUICK, SEAN, TIME OUT. OKAY, SO, UM I THINK WHEN THERE WAS A QUESTION ASKED BECAUSE WE SAW IT ON THE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT DOES THIS NEED TO BE APPROVED TONIGHT TO GET THE MONEY? AND IT SAID NO. WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN BY 25 26 TO BE ABLE TO SPEND THE MONEY, SPEND IT, SPEND IT BY THE BY THEN, UM, AND SO ON THE FRONT PAGE IT WAS ON 33 THANK YOU. UM . SO MY THOUGHT WAS TO HOLD IT AND WAIT UNTIL TO HOLD IT. AND WAIT FOR THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT TO SEE IF THERE'S FURTHER INSTRUCTION. UM STRATEGY STRATEGY AND SO ON. BUT THEN ALSO WHAT I WAS WANTING MORE INFORMATION ON FOR, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS VERY, UM IT'S 9.6 TO 7. THAT WE'RE GETTING THE MONEY AND SO WE HAVE IN SOME AREAS WE HAVE HALF OF IT.

ALLOCATED AT 4.7. BUT THEN WE HAVE DISCRETIONARY SITE ALLOCATIONS OF 4.9 MILLION AND THAT'S NOT SAYING WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING, AND SO I JUST FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE NOT KNOWING WHAT WE HAVE PLANS TO DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY. UM, WHERE WHAT SITE IS GOING TO GO TO WHAT IS GOING TO BE USED FOR? UM AND SO I JUST FELT LIKE WE REALLY NEED MORE INFORMATION AND MAYBE SOME MORE INPUT AND STRATEGY. UM JUST BECAUSE THAT'S ALMOST FIVE MILLION. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO JUST SAY IT'S DISCRETIONARY SITE ALLOCATIONS, AND SO I JUST REALLY NEEDED MORE MONEY OR NOT,

[03:25:01]

AT THE END BECAUSE WE WOULD WELL IF IT'S IF IT'S PROGRAMMED OR ANYTHING. THEY'RE BUYING MUCH LIKE WE DID WITH THE S. OF COURSE, IF IT'S A PROGRAM THAT HAS TO COME FORWARD FOR BOARD APPROVAL, BUT VERY MUCH LIKE WE DID WITH THE S OF THREE FUNDS. IT'S EXACTLY HOW WE DISTRIBUTED THEM. AND, UH, IT PRINCIPAL GOT INPUT FROM THEIR SITE THROUGH THERE. THERE S A C COMMITTEE AS WELL. AND THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW THEY DEVELOPED A PLAN THAT THEY SUBMITTED. TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE, AND THEN WE HELPED OVERSEE THE SPENDING OF THAT MONEY. BUT THEY DID HAVE A PLAN AND THEY DID GATHER INPUT FROM THEIR SIDE. I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY EACH SIDE IS GOING TO GET AND WHAT THEIR PLAN IS BECAUSE I THINK SOME SITES HAVE SAID THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE MONEY OR HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO GET THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO I WOULD JUST SO THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY JUST TO SAY IT'S DISCRETIONARY. I'M COMING AT IT FROM. I THINK WE SHOULD WAIT TO JUST FROM THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT COULD BE USED IN WHATEVER KIND OF STRATEGIES THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT DECIDES TO USE. UM SO I JUST THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA JUST TO WAIT TO LET THEM DECIDE. ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS ON HOW WE USE IT? UM BUT I KNOW THERE ARE SOME LIKE, YEAH. DIRECT WITH WITH. THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC CRITERIA THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW, AND IT CAN ONLY BE SPENT ON THOSE CRITERIA AND THAT'S PART OF THE PRESENTATION. I WAS GOING TO PRESENT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT WITH YOU AND WATCH THE PRESENTATION, POSSIBLY. I STILL THINK JUST FROM A STRATEGY STANDPOINT. WE'RE. I WOULD I BE IN A HURRY TO SPEND IT. YEAH NO, WE DON'T AND LOOKING AT YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S BEING SPENT ON NOW. I MEAN, I CAN SEE WHERE WE NEED IT . FOR EXAMPLE, THE ADMIN COORDINATION. WE DEFINITELY NEED THAT. SO THAT WE CAN, UM INFUSE MORE INTO OUR MUSIC AND ARTS PROGRAMS. UM THE THEATER MUSIC AND OR SOUND AND LIGHTING SYSTEM. YOU KNOW, I WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD WITH THE TRAILERS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL BAND CHAIR AND SONG HAD QUESTIONS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE BAND YES, BUT CHEERING SONG. UM. BUT AGAIN, THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY TIME TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS FOR THOSE KIND OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO OTHERWISE. AND IS THAT A GAP THAT WE HAVE? UM SO I KNOW THAT A LOT OF EFFORT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS TO LOOK AT THOSE KIND OF THINGS. UM AND I AND I AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE SITE ALLOCATIONS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE USING IT FOR, JUST JUST FOR MY OWN PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE IT'S I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ARTS AND MUSIC, BUT I DO WANT THEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE THEIR OWN FUNDS AND PICK WHAT'S GOING TO WORK FOR THEM. AND BECAUSE EACH SIDE IS DIFFERENT THAN THIS IS A WAY TO REALLY MAKE IT UNIQUE, LIKE THE MARIACHI COULD BE USED IN THIS PARTICULAR ONE FOR FIRST MARKING IT, MARK, I'M TRYING MY OWN. MY ONLY THOUGHT WITH ALL THE MONEY WAS JUST IF THERE IS A LIKE LIKE HE WAS SAYING, IF THERE'S A STRATEGY, AND I FEEL LIKE AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THESE INTERVIEWS, THERE'S EVERYBODY CAME IN THE WAY THAT THE INTERVIEW PROCESS WAS SET UP.

THEY HAD TO COME IN WITH A STRATEGY AS PART OF THE INTERVIEW, SO WE GOT TO HEAR A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BROUGHT.

AND SO WHEN I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THIS, IT'S $9 MILLION. YEAH. IF THERE IS AN EXCELLENT STRATEGY TO BRING HERE OR, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING PERHAPS THAT THIS PERSON WANTS TO BRING TWO DIFFERENT SITES, TOO. YOU KNOW THAT HAS BEEN USED. MAYBE IN THE PAST, LIKE TEST SCORES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I WOULDN'T WANT TO WASTE NOT WASTE, BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO MISUSE THE MONEY WHEN IT MIGHT BE PART OF A DIFFERENT STRATEGY GOING FORWARD . THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN. I'M NOT TRYING TO MICROMANAGE MONEY , DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST SIMPLY IT'S JUST A LOT OF MONEY. AND IF THERE'S A COORDINATED, YOU KNOW, STRICTLY LARGER FOR US, AND THERE'S A LARGER PLAN. THAT'S ALL I'M THINKING. OKAY CERN ABOUT POSTPONING IT. IS WE'VE ALREADY POSTPONED IT. THIS MONEY WAS GIFTED TO US AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THIS BUDGET CYCLE. AND WE ARE NOW AT THE END OF THE BUDGET CYCLE AND OUR KIDS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS MONEY THIS SCHOOL YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE SEEN IT RIGHT?

[03:30:02]

MUSIC AND ARTS ARE. TEACHERS AND OR ADMINISTRATORS TO PLAN PROGRAMS AND DO THINGS THAT WILL HELP THEIR SCHOOL SITE. YEAH, WHATEVER THAT IS. WHATEVER VISION THEY SEE. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE TOOLS AND SO I DON'T WANT TO POSTPONE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S ALREADY BEEN POSTPONED. AND THERE'S BEEN PROBLEMS. BUDGET WISE, THIS BUDGET HAS BEEN REDUCED. IT WAS STARTED OF 14 MILLION BIGGER AMOUNT. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY BEHIND THE FUND. AND SO THAT WOULD LEAD TO A LOT OF THE DELAY. BUT WE'RE OKAY WAITING FOR THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT. I MEAN, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAKE A HIGH PRIORITY FOR THAT PERSON AND TELL US WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE THAT MAKE IT A HIGH PRIORITY. YEAH, GREAT. OKAY? AGREED.

MRS. REGULAR GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DR MATTHEWS AND EXECUTIVE CABINET LAST MONTH DATA WAS SHARED WITH YOU ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH TEAMS, PILOT PROCESS AND SELECTION FOR TEXTBOOK ADOPTION.

[03:40:02]

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5, WITH FIVE BEING THE HIGHEST. THE AVERAGE SCORE WAS A 4.6. STUDENTS WERE ALSO ASKED HOW MUCH DID YOU ENJOY READING THIS NOVEL COMPARED TO OTHER NOVELS YOU HAVE READ IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSES USING THE SAME SCALE. THE AVERAGE SCORE WAS A 4.24. OVERALL ALMOST ALL STUDENTS RATED THE NOVEL FOUR OR FIVE ON EACH OF THE TWO QUESTIONS. FINALLY STUDENTS WERE ASKED. WHAT WERE YOUR KEY TAKEAWAYS OR LESSONS FROM READING THIS NOVEL? MOST RESPONSES CENTERED AROUND BEING EDUCATED ON WORLD ISSUES INSIDE AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE REALITIES OF WAR, LEARNING ABOUT NEW CULTURES AND THE USE OF A GRAPHIC NOVEL AS AN ALTERNATIVE CANVAS FOR ANALYSIS AND ANNOTATION. THE STUDENTS ARE VERY ARTICULATE, BY THE WAY. SO HERE IS ONE RESPONSE FROM A STUDENT WHO GAVE POSITIVE RATINGS FOR THE NOVEL. I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH THE NOVEL , CHARACTER AND THEMES BECAUSE IT IS A STORY OF A TEENAGER DEVELOPING BELIEFS AND IDENTITY IN THE SAME WAY MANY TEENAGERS DO TODAY. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THEMES SUCH AS THE COURAGE IT TAKES TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST OPPRESSION, THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUALITY AND IDENTITY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILIAL BONDS. PERSEPOLIS IS A VERY UNIQUE AND INTERESTING BOOK. UNLIKE ANY I'VE READ BEFORE, IN THE WAY IT CONVEYED THEMES AND STORIES THAT BOTH PARALLEL MINE IN TERMS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF GROWING UP AND CONTRASTED IT BY THRUSTING MARGIE INTO THE SPOTLIGHT OF A WAR IN DISPLAYING HER COURAGE AND REALIZATION OF IDENTITY IN THE MIDST OF OPPRESSION AND DANGER. THIS BOOK INSPIRED ME TO VIEW MY OWN LIFE THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS AND DISCOVER WAYS IN WHICH I CAN SPEAK OUT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT IN MY OWN COMMUNITY. THAT CONCLUDES THE SUMMARY OF FEEDBACK RECEIVED FOR PERSEPOLIS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THE DATA. THAT WAS GOOD. QUESTION
