[9. PUBLIC COMMENT ANNOUNCEMENT]

[10. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]

[11. PUBLIC HEARINGS]

[00:05:08]

AS A MOTHER. WHAT I AM MOST EXCITED ABOUT. AS A DISTRICT AFFILIATED CHARTER OR A CONVERSION SCHOOL. WE GET TO REMAIN A NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL. THE OTHER PART THAT MAKES ME EXCITED IS THE LINK BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND OUR DISTRICT AFFILIATED CHARTER SCHOOL WILL REMAIN STRONG. OUR TEACHERS REMAIN ARE ALREADY VERY STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR BARGAINING UNITS REMAIN AND THE FUNDING WILL COME FROM A COMBINATION OF L AND STATE CHARTER FUNDING, NOT OUTSIDE SOURCES. SO HOW IS HOW DID WE AS A TEAM ARRIVED AT THIS DECISION? IF WE'RE GOING TO BE HONEST, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO IMPROVE OUT FROM OUTCOMES FOR KIDS? WHAT ABOUT ACCESS? WHAT ABOUT EQUITY? WHAT ABOUT INCLUSION? WELL. IF WE LOOK AT THE RESEARCH IF WE LOOK AT OUR EXPERIENCE, BUT LET'S LEAD WITH THE RESEARCH PACE, WHICH IS THE POLICY ANALYSIS FOR CALIFORNIA EDUCATION. A YEAR AGO PUBLISHED A RESULT ON OUR TEST SCORE. FINDINGS BOTH LOOK BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, AND IN THEIR FINDINGS, THEY SAID THESE TEST SCORES SHOULD SOUND A LOUD SCREAMING ALARM. THE TASK OF TRANSFORMING OUR SCHOOLS CAN NO LONGER BE DELAYED. SO. WE ARE NOT A GROUP ABOUT TALK. WE ARE A GROUP ABOUT TAKING ACTION. AND SO I BRING TO YOU THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LEARNING FRAMEWORK. WE HAVE A FOUNDATIONAL INSTRUCTION TO MATH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS IF WE'RE GOING TO BE HONEST, THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED POST COVID. WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S DEFICIENCIES IN THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS ARE TEACHERS ARE WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD, AND IT'S NOW TIME TO GIVE THEM THAT FREEDOM TO FOCUS ON

[00:10:04]

AND HAVING DONE THAT WE WORKED WITH ALL TEACHERS AND ALL STUDENTS TO CREATE A HIGH QUALITY LEVEL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS. FROM THAT INNOVATIVE WORK. WE WERE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE UNDER THE CS FOR ALL INITIATIVE. AND THEN WE JOINED THE LEAGUE OF INNOVATIVE SCHOOLS AND DIGITAL PROMISES CORPORATE PARTNERS AND WE LEAD THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY THERE. SO I WANTED TO CHANNEL SIMON.

CYNICS VIRAL TED TALK AND YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF IT. BUT IT STARTS WITH YOUR WHY, AND SO I PUT UP THIS SLIDE WITH JUST A FEW OF OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR PROUDLY WEARING THEIR CODE TO THE FUTURE AT ONE OF MANY COMPUTER SCIENCE IMMERSION SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT THIS IS OUR Y. AND IT'S OUR LEGACY, OUR FUTURE GENERATION AND WE REALLY WANT TO PREPARE THEM WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO BE SUCCESSFUL, AND WE SEE CODING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE IS A VEHICLE IN WHICH TO DO THAT. AND SO THAT IS OUR WHY. I'M ALSO GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU. A FEW STATISTICS, THOUGH, ALSO SPEAK TO THAT IMPORTANCE AS WELL. AND HERE'S ONE FROM THE BUREAU OF

[00:15:04]

87.5% PROVIDED A SIGNATURE. SO HERE IS WHERE I REALLY WANT TO LIFT UP INTO THIS SPACE. THE WHY

[00:20:03]

SOMETIMES THIS CAN FEEL LIKE WHOA. WHY WAS I NOT CONSULTED? WHY WOULD WHY WHY WAS I NOT ENGAGED IN THIS? AS I HAD ALLUDED TO? THERE'S MANY WAYS TO BECOME A CHARTER SCHOOL. AS YOU MIGHT SEE, THIS IS ME TONED DOWN. PASSIONATE. UM OUR SCHOOL IS NOT WILLING TO WAIT. TO DO BETTER FOR KIDS. IF WE'RE GOING TO BE REAL, AND EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM IS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS IS AN UNSPOKEN TRUTH. WHY IS IT THAT WE MOURN THE LOSS OF PEOPLE WHO DIE IN WAR, BUT WE DON'T MOURN THE LOSS OF KIDS THAT WE LOSE THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AND AS A PRINCIPLE AND AS A FORMER TEACHER. IT HAUNTS ME THE NUMBER OF KIDS WHO WE'VE LOST AND I NOW HAVE A GROUP. BUT IT'S COMMITTED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR KIDS. AND SO TOGETHER , WE ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AND FAMILIES. WE WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. SO WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE WITH THE HEAD OF THE BOARD. WE WILL ENGAGE IN PARENT SESSIONS, AND WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE TABLE TO BE A PART OF IT BECAUSE YOUR KIDS MATTER AND I'M VERY HONORED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. EXCELLENT I WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO SAY THANK YOU, DR FISHER. ER LOVE THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY LET ME OPEN IT UP TO THE BOARD BOARD. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR FISHER. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. DID YOU HAVE COFFEE BEFORE YOU CAME TONIGHT? I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE THE ENERGY AND THE PASSION. I LOVE IT, THOUGH, SO I WANT TO JUST BEFORE THE BOARD SPEAKS JUST THANK THE STAFF FOR BEING HERE AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM AND DR FISHER, UM, AND HER TEAM. THE WORK YOU'VE DONE HERE IS IMPRESSIVE AND THE PASSION FOR KIDS I CAN SEE SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MHM SO. CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOCTOR FISHER. YOU MADE A STATEMENT IN HERE THAT I FOUND VERY INTERESTING. UM REGARDING HONORS, AND I HAVE A QUESTION THAT I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO KIND OF GIVE SOME MORE INSIGHT ON BECAUSE YOU MADE A MENTION OF THERE'S NOT TWO TRACKS. BUT THERE ARE THERE'S ABILITY FOR KIDS TO GAIN HONOR. SO TELL US ABOUT THAT. THAT'S VERY INTERESTING TO LET MY, UH BALANCER OVER HERE. GIVE ME EYES . UM SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THEM SLIGHTLY RESEARCH NERD, SO IF YOU DIVE INTO THE RESEARCH ACTUALLY PUTTING KIDS INTO DIFFERENT TRACKS. THERE'S NOT OF A BENEFIT TO THEM. SO WE IN AMERICAN SCHOOLING HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF SEGREGATING AND IDENTIFYING KIDS, SO OUR SCHOOL IS COMMITTED. TO ENSURING WE HAVE ACTUAL EQUITY AND THAT THE EXPECTATION FOR ALL STUDENTS IS THE SAME. WE ALSO RECOGNIZING

[00:25:04]

WHO INVEST IN THE SCHOOL, BUT BY LAW, THEY CAN'T GET A RETURN ON IT. SO I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT IS SUCCESSFUL IN SAN DIEGO THAT I RESPECT. IT IS THE HEALTH SCIENCES IN SAN DIEGO AND SO SHARP HOSPITAL WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THEIR INDEPENDENT GROUP. TO RUN THEIR SCHOOL. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMING UP WITH THEIR OWN FUNDING THERE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING THEIR OWN GOVERNING BOARD. WHY WE LOVE IT. DISTRICT AFFILIATED OR CONVERSION CHARTER SCHOOL IS WE KEEP OUR GOVERNING BOARD. YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE AUTHORIZES AND OVERSEE US. THE ROLE OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS SIMPLY FOR US TO GO ARM IN ARM AND DIG INTO THAT WORK TOGETHER TO SEE. ARE WE MEETING OUR TARGET? AND THEN, AS I ALLUDED TO IN THE PRESENTATION, THE FUNDING IS STILL THE ARM OF THE DISTRICT PLUS THE STATE FUNDING, SO THESE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS OR OUTSIDE SOURCES DO NOT HAVE ANY PART IN OUR SCHOOL. AND THEN YOUR SECOND QUESTION. REMIND ME. THE STUDENTS IN THE ATTENDANT CURRENT ATTENDANCE AREA. YES SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE KNOWN AS STUDENTS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA, BUT GO BACK TO HERE. IT'S CODE.

WE LOVE IT CODE. SPENT HOURS WITH ED CODE. CODE SPECIFICALLY SPELLS OUT THAT ALL STUDENTS WHO RESIDE WITHIN THE FORMER ATTENDANCE AREA OF THE FORMER SCHOOL THAT WOULD BE BERNARDI OR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, UM, WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL, SO IF THEY SHOULD DESIRE, SO IF ENROLLMENT BECOMES GREATER THAN WHAT WE CAN HANDLE, THEN A LOTTERY WILL APPLY. BUT THAT GOES THERE'S A PECKING ORDER AND THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE PETITION. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS GET THAT PRIORITY. HELLO DR. FISHER UM, I JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS WORK AND THE STAFF WHO PUT IN MANY, MANY HOURS TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, AND I DO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. PROBABLY MORE THAN, UM, YOU WOULD EVEN WANT TO DISCUSS TONIGHT, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY I'M ASKING IF WE CAN JUST PUT A PAUSE ON THIS PETITION. AND SO WE CAN HAVE A STUDY SESSION AND REALLY GO OVER ALL THE DETAILS. WE RECEIVED THIS PETITION ON FRIDAY. AND IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, AND IT'S A LOT TO DIGEST AND AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT TO THAT REQUEST.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. AND SO THERE WILL BE, UM THEY WERE FOLLOWING ED CODE AND STATUTE THAT THIS IS THIS IS FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS.

AND THE ACTUAL VOTE ON APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER WILL BE AT A FUTURE BEING I AM AWARE OF THAT.

I ALSO KNOW THAT, UM. THE DISTRICT IS PURSUING THIS CREATION OF THE CHARTER, AND THE BOARD HAS NOT GIVEN ANY DIRECTION FOR A CHARTER OR ALLOCATED ANY FUNDS. AND DISTRICT FUNDS HAVE BEEN USED. STAFF HAS BEEN USED. AND SO THAT'S WHY I JUST I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS BAD. I'M SAYING THAT NOT YET. I WAS CLARIFIED TO BE. I MEAN, MY STAFF KNOWS THIS, UM AND I HAVE BEEN DOING IT MIGHT WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY FAMILY WHO

[00:30:05]

TEXTING DR YOUNG DR GRAY GUYS, LISTEN MY MIND A LITTLE BIT. I'M COMING. I'M THERE, SO ACTUALLY, NO FUNDS HAVE BEEN SPENT, AND THEN NO TIME RELATED TO TAKING AWAY FROM THIS DISTRICT BUSINESS PASSIONATELY ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK I SHOULD ANSWER THAT. THIS IS THEY'RE BRINGING A PETITION FORWARD AND SO YOUR REQUEST TO PAUSE. UM IS, UH, CAN'T HAPPEN AT THIS TIME. THIS THIS PETITION IS PRESENTED FOR PUBLIC HEARING . THERE IS A TIME FOR YOU TO VOTE ON IT, AND THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS, BUT, UM, IT'S NOT. YOU CAN'T REQUEST THE PETITIONER TO PAUSE. UM THEIR PETITION IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED. AND BY STATUTE THEY'RE PERMITTED TO DO SO. OKAY THEN LET'S GO FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. UM. I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THE DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY WILL FUNCTION WITH THE COMPUTER SCIENCE. I MEAN, THOSE ARE TWO REALLY CUTE. YOU KNOW, ACADEMIES OR FUNCTIONS AND, UM. AND SO I JUST WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND SO, OBVIOUSLY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CODE OF THE FUTURE, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TRILINGUAL SCHOOL THEY HAVE SEEN. SO WE SEE THIS AS AN ASSET. I WANT ■TO GIVE FIM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PARTNERS AT GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY, THE LEVEL TO WHICH OUR STUDENTS ARE PREPARED. IT IS ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING, SO WE SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE HAVE OUR STUDENTS WHO COME IN WITH SUCH A STRONG COMMAND OF BOTH CONVERSATION. OPTIONAL AND ACADEMIC SPANISH AND NOW WE ARE GIVING THEM THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO CREATE IN THE SPANISH LANGUAGE. OBVIOUSLY AND I WANNA SEND LOTS OF LOVE TO OUR DUAL LANGUAGE SCIENCE TEACHER WHO WAS AT HOME WITH HIS NEWBORN, BUT HE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN THE SCIENCE LIKE SAFETY THAT THEY CANNOT TRANSLATE INTO SPANISH BECAUSE IF THEIR HAIR IS ON FIRE , THEY'RE NOT GOING TO YELL IT IN SPANISH. THEY'RE GOING TO YELL AT IN ENGLISH. THE SAME THING IS TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO THE PLATFORMS FOR CODING, THERE MIGHT BE AN INNER MIXING IN TERMS OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE. BUT THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN THAT ENGLISH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE LIKE CUOMO CDC, OR DO WE KNOW THEN THE RESPONSE WOULD BE ARDUINO IN ENGLISH LIKE THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT IT IS SO WE AREN'T WE'RE NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE TO BE COMPETITIVE AND SAY WE'RE REVOLUTIONARY IN THAT RIGHT? WE'RE NOT. THERE'S IT'S ACTUALLY THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS WHO HAVE COME BEFORE US WHO HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING THIS. CAN YOU SEND ME THOSE SCHOOLS SO I CAN KIND OF RESEARCH THEM AND LOOK AND SEE HOW THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE LIST FROM NATHANIEL. SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THIS THE DELAY GRADUATES WILL BE TRILINGUAL WILL BE TRILINGUAL AND THAT AND THAT I MEAN, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE D L, A PARENTS AND THEIR STUDENTS THERE , THEY MIGHT RIVAL ME AND PASSION AND COMPETITIVENESS MIGHT, UM AND I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN HAVING TRILINGUAL STUDENTS. OKAY, OKAY OFF. MY NEXT QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD HOW IS THE CLASS SIZE IS GOING TO BE DONE ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS? BECAUSE HALF. THE STAFF HAS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON TUESDAY AND HALF THE STAFF HAS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON THURSDAY, SO STAFF IS ONLY WORKING WITH STUDENTS REALLY FOUR DAYS A WEEK. ABSOLUTELY AND THIS IS WHERE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE A BLESSING BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU THE FLEXIBILITY WITH STAFF.

SO IF YOU NOTICE IN THE CHARTER POSITION, THERE ARE SPECIFIC TITLES LIKE LEARNING FACILITATORS OR IF WE LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MODEL, WE'RE STILL INTO THE DESIGN, FACE OR FRIENDS IN HUMAN RESOURCES ARE VERY MUCH CREATING AND DESIGNING. ALONGSIDE US. BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT P E, HOW YOU HAVE ITINERANT PE TEACHERS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WHO TRAVELED FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL SO THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING INCREDIBLY MASSIVE CLASS SIZES.

WE'RE GONNA BE REDUCING THOSE CLASS SIZES AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION BECOMES THE HOME BASE AND THEN STUDENTS ARE THEN DESIGNATED TO THE VARIOUS LEARNING AREAS WHERE THEY CAN ENGAGE IN THAT TARGETED LEARNING CYCLE. HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND DEVELOPING THIS NOT TO THE EXTENT OF DEVELOPING IT, BUT SAYING HEY, HUMAN RESOURCES, CAN YOU SHOW ME THE MODEL OF WHAT ITINERANT PE TEACHERS LOOK LIKE ? HEY, CAN YOU SHOW ME THE MODEL OF WHAT? THIS LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO USE COMPUTER, SCIENCE, LANGUAGE OR ENTREPRENEURIAL LANGUAGE, IT'S ALL VERY MUCH A DESIGN FACE, SO WE WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT IS EXISTING IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT ? THAT'S GREAT, AND TO SEE HOW WE CAN BUILD UPON THAT. OKAY? AND THEN I DO HAVE, UM. QUESTIONS ABOUT, UM. THE BUDGET.

[00:35:02]

THERE'S NO LIKE STUFF FOR RETIREMENT. THERE'S NOTHING FOR BENEFITS. LEGAL ALL THAT COMES FROM THE DISTRICT. CORRECT I'M GONNA KICK THAT OVER TO SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS MORE THAN I DO. SO ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO BE DISTRICT SUPPORTED. CORRECT CORRECT. OKAY SO ON THE BUDGET, IT SHOWS YOUR INCOME. BUT THERE'S NO PAYMENT OUT TO DISTRICT FOR THOSE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. IS THAT CORRECT? SO AS A AS A DISTRICT INTEGRATED CHARTER PHRASED IT EARLIER. BASICALLY THEY FUNCTION AS A AS A SCHOOL SIDE OF THE DISTRICT. SO ALL OF THE 88 WOULD COME THROUGH THE DISTRICT AND THEN PASS THROUGH THEM RIGHT. WELL THEY WOULD BE USING THE SERVICES OF THE DISTRICT. SO IT ACTUALLY IT FUNDS THE DISTRICT AND THEY'RE USING THIS SO THEY HAVE WE ALLOCATE FUNDS BY SIGHT , AND SO THEY WOULD BE ALLOCATED FUNDS SO THEY WOULD BE ALLOCATED PROTECT. THEY WON'T GET THE WHOLE 88 PER THE STUDENTS. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT? YES, BECAUSE AS TO FUND THE DISTRICT SERVICES. THAT'S WHERE I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE BUDGET THAT THEY GET THE WHOLE 88, RIGHT. AND SO I'M LIKE THAT COULDN'T WORK BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPORTING THEM AND ALL OF THESE EXACTLY RIGHT? AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP A PORTION. I MEAN, WE'RE CHARGING THEM FOR FACILITIES, BUT WE'RE NOT CHARGING THEM FOR THE OTHER THINGS. IS THAT CORRECT? WELL THEY FUNCTION STILL IS AS A DISTRICT SCHOOL SO AS WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE CHARTER. THEY WOULD BE JUST LIKE A DISTRICT SCHOOL THAT THE DIFFERENCE THAT THEY GET IS THE FLEXIBILITY AND ALSO THE ABILITY TO DRAW IN STUDENTS FROM THE OUTSIDE SO THEY DON'T GET TO KEEP 100% OF THEIR 88 WELL, AND IT DOESN'T THEY DON'T GET TO KEEP 100% OF THE MONEY, EITHER. IT'S STILL COMES INTO THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN WHICH IS TRUE FOR NO SCHOOL SITES. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S RIGHT IN THE BUDGET. IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS JUST CLARIFYING QUESTIONS , CLARIFYING QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE YOU WERE CHARGING THEM FOR FACILITIES. LAYMAN'S TERMS. IF YOU'RE DOING RESEARCH THE WAY THAT IT, IT'S BEEN COMMUNICATED TO ME, AS WERE CONSIDERED AN ARM OF THE DISTRICT, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT WILL COME UP IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH. BUT IN MY STUDIES, YOU ALSO HAVE UM, YOU CAN ACCESS CHARTER SCHOOL START UP GRANT CORRECT ARE TYPICAL SCHOOLS WILL BE AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING GRANTS AGGRESSIVELY. I'M SURE YOU WILL.

AND THEN I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE STUDENTS FROM AREAS OF THOSE SCHOOLS ARE TRANSPORTED TO BERNARDO YORBA. AND IF THEY DON'T WANT THEIR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROGRAM, ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO THEM FOR ANOTHER AREA? THAT'S A DISTRICT QUESTION. NOT FOR YOU. SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I'M NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER TO THIS TIME , BUT, UM, THAT'S WHY I KIND OF WANT TO STAY SUCH BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE NUANCES THAT THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IF WE'RE GOING TO BE AN ARM OR WOULD PREFER PARTNERSHIP IF THE BOARD ASKED QUESTIONS, WE JUST ASK US WHAT QUESTIONS YOU LIKE US TO PREPARE, AND WE'LL BE SURE TO GET IT TO YOU. AND SO THAT'S ONE. WE'LL LOOK AT YEAH, I'M JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE SERVED.

I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP, BUT THE QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE'LL BE ASKING QUESTIONS, AND WE'LL BE SENDING QUESTIONS LATER, BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN A BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME WITH THIS. UM, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PUBLIC ALSO GETS THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED AS WE'RE AND SO THAT WHEN I'M ASKING, I GET THE RESPONSE, BUT THEN I'M NOT THE ONE THAT'S ALSO SHARING THE INFORMATION. UM EVEN IF WE COULD PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER, MAYBE FOR THE NEXT MEETING WITH SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS THAT WE COULD FOLLOW UP WITH. UM THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT. UM, JUST SO THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWESOME AWARE OF ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS AND FOLLOW UP THAT WE MAY HAVE. I WAS GONNA SAY MAYBE WE CAN PUT ALL THESE QUESTIONS ON THE WEBSITE. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A HEARING. PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ASKING QUESTIONS TAKING NOTES, BUT ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS AND STICKING THEM ON SO PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOSE ANSWERS.

YOU KNOW IF I COULD ASK JUST TO FOLLOW UP QUESTION YOU MENTIONED DUAL LANGUAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. AND UM, SO WE HAVE OUR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM THAT WE STARTED YEARS AGO, AND WE WERE EXPECTING IT TO BE IN A REGULAR DISTRICT DISTRICT SCHOOL . NOT A DISTRICT CHARTER SCHOOL.

UM WHAT WHAT COULD. UH I LIKE THE IDEA OF THEM BEING, UM, HAVING THREE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE LEARNING. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STUDENTS THAT DON'T WANT TO GO INTO COMPUTER SCIENCE HAVE BEEN PART OF THE STOOL IMMERSION PROGRAM FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND NOW WHAT ARE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO SUPPORT THEM AND A SCHOOL. THAT'S NOT BERNARDO

[00:40:05]

VARIOUS DAYS. WELL WE HAVE ONE THAT'S UM CODING AND ALSO LEAD IN SPANISH AND ONE THAT'S CODING THAT'S ALSO LED IN ENGLISH. YES SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SCHEDULE, LET'S PRETEND THIS IS ERIC'S SCHEDULE. AND LET'S PRETEND THAT ERIC IS A DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY STUDENT. SO WHERE YOU SEE ELECTIVE ERIC'S FOURTH PERIOD ELECTIVE WILL BE THE SPANISH LITERATURE CLASS.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ON MONDAY, ERIC HAS THE HISTORY INTEGRATION WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE IMMERSION AND THEN ON FRIDAY, ERIC HAS THE HIT THE SCIENCE COMPUTER SCIENCE IMMERSION. THE OTHER DAYS ARE STRICTLY HISTORY AND SCIENCE CONTENT AS WE HAD MENTIONED, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY FORTHRIGHT IN SAYING THIS, THERE'S DEFICIENCIES AND OUR STANDARDS SO ARE HIGHLY COMMITTED. STAFF IS GOING TO BE TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT WE CALL THE POWER STANDARDS. AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT INSTRUCTION , OR TEACHERS WILL TELL YOU THE WAY THAT OUR STATE HAS DESIGNED THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS. YOU ACTUALLY FEASIBLY CAN'T TEACH THEM ALL IN ONE YEAR. SO ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE JUST WE'RE FALLING IN LINE WITH NORMAL PRACTICE, HOWEVER, WERE BEING HYPER FOCUSED AND TARGETED ON MEETING STUDENTS NEEDS AND WE'RE GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY RATHER THAN BEING PASSIVE LEARNERS TO BE ACTIVE LEARNERS IN DESIGN AND CREATION APPLICATION WITH CONTENT KNOWLEDGE. SO JUST TO CLARIFY THE HISTORY COMPUTER SCIENCE IMMERSION WILL BE COMPUTERS IN HISTORY. WHERE IS THE HISTORY WITH SPANISH? IT'S ALL IT'S TAUGHT IN SPANISH, SO THAT'S WHEN IT SAYS IMMERSION. THAT'S NOT COMPUTER SCIENCE IMMERSION ITS HISTORY, ITS SPANISH IMMERSION BECAUSE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN THAT HISTORY CLASS ALL INSTRUCTION IS TAUGHT IN SPANISH. UNLESS THE COMPUTER CODING LANGUAGE REQUIRES ENGLISH ONLY THEIR ENTIRE DAY. IN HISTORY. ANY KIND OF HISTORY INSTRUCTION, SO PERIOD THREE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT TARGETED ENGAGEMENT AND PERIOD FIVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT TARGET, ENGAGEMENT, INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT COLLABORATION, INTERACTION AND WORK IS DONE IN SPANISH FOR D E. L. A STUDENTS FOR DELAY STUDENTS, NOT FOR EVERY STUDENT THERE WILL BE TWO CLASSES. THAT COULD BE FUN, SO THERE WILL BE TWO CLASSES ONE HISTORY. D L, A AND ONE HISTORY ENGLISH ONLY CORRECT. BUT IT WOULD BE THAT SAME TIME FOR THAT. THE SAME PERIOD. BUT YEAH , THIS IS OBVIOUSLY MIDDLE SCHOOL SCHEDULES DON'T FUNCTION LIKE ELEMENTARY SCHEDULES. SO REALISTICALLY HOW I COULD BE TAKING HISTORY FIRST PERIOD.

[00:45:01]

SO IF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN BECAUSE I KNOW OUR STAFF HAD ACCESS TO, OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING WE HAVE. SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT PRIOR TO THIS DRAFT THAT THERE WAS A LONGER PERIOD THAT WAS SHOWN THAT WAS DESIGN PHASE ONE. THIS IS DEVELOPED DESIGN PHASE TWO IN COLLABORATION WITH THE AMAZING STAFF HERE. SOMETHING AS I'M LOOKING AT THIS AND WE'RE TALKING THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS. UM THE THING THAT I THINK IS REALLY EXCITING IS THIS IS REALLY OUR FIRST. ATTEMPT AT TRUE SCHOOL CHOICE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. IT'S BEEN TOUTED FROM THE DISTRICT PREVIOUSLY THAT WE HAVE SCHOOL CHOICE, BUT THAT JUST MEANS YOU CAN INTRODUCE OR TRANSFER. THIS IS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE A DIFFERENT PATH, WHICH I THINK IS PHENOMENAL. AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THE OPTION AS LONG AS WE CAN WORK OUT THE TRANSPORTATION SO THAT STUDENTS THAT RIGHT ALL THOSE DETAILS THINGS, BUT I MEAN THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS. I THINK THIS IS REALLY EXCITING TO SAY WE HAVE TRUE SCHOOL CHOICE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNIQUE. SO. DR FISHER. I AGREE WITH YOU WHEN YOU SAID THAT WE CANNOT WAIT BECAUSE WE ARE FAILING CHILDREN, AND IT HAS BEEN THE SCORES AND EVERYTHING. AND ESPECIALLY, WHAT WAS THE SCREEN THAT YOU SAID WAS IT PACE? OH YEAH, BY THE WAY, JUST TO DRIVE THE POINT HOME FINDING CAME OUT A YEAR AGO. RIGHT TOGETHER 40 HIGH LEVEL ORGANIZATIONS. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW PACE PACE IS A NONPARTISAN GROUP COMPRISED OF RESEARCHERS FROM YOU KNOW. KIND OF REPUTABLE INSTITUTIONS LIKE STANFORD UNIVERSITY. UC BERKELEY. U C L A. U S. C U C. DAVIS AND IF YOU NOTE THE DATE THIS WAS AN ENTIRE YEAR AGO, THEY TRIED TO BRING TOGETHER 40 HIGH LEVEL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO SAY WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. TO MY KNOWLEDGE . TODAY IS OCTOBER 10TH 2023. AND THE ALARM HAS BEEN SOUNDED. AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO RESCUE THE CHILDREN. AND THAT THAT'S WHAT REALLY THE SOUND THE ALARM. THAT IS. WHAT HAS REALLY, UH SPOKEN TO ME IN THIS WHOLE THING, AND ON THE THREE YEARS OF BEING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD IS OUR SCORES ARE NOT RAISING. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE TRYING AND WE ARE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A LOT OF INTERVENTIONS WHEN WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS IN PLACE TO, UM RAISE OUR SCORES AT OUR LEVELS, BUT I THINK THAT THIS INNOVATION AND THIS TYPE OF THOUGHTFULNESS AND THIS TYPE OF SCHOOL. I MEAN, IF WE CAN TRANSFORM KIDS LIVES THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO. AND SO WE CANNOT WAIT. WE CANNOT PUSH IT OFF. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO FAIL CHILDREN. AND SO I AM SO HAPPY WITH YOUR TEAM. I'M HAPPY WITH YOU. I'M HAPPY WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF AND ALL OF THIS WORK BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAID, AND THIS WHOLE GROUP HAS NOT BEEN PAID. THERE'S NO OVERTIME IN TEACHING. AND SO ALL OF THIS WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PUT IN HAS BEEN EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL. YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND I JUST SIT HERE TODAY. COMPLETELY PROUD, BECAUSE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOM AND THAT WE HAVE TO STEP IT UP, AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO BE INNOVATIVE AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT WE DO THINGS. AND SO I AM SITTING HERE SO PROUD. SO PROUD OF, AND I'M JUST SO PROUD IF WE MOVE THIS FORWARD FOR A VOTE IN A MONTH OR TWO. I'M JUST SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS AND SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS DID, UH, TRUSTY BUCK. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO ADD? I WANT TO ECHO A LITTLE BIT WHAT MISS BLADES WAS SAYING , UM, THIS IS THE KIND OF INNOVATION THAT I'M INTERESTED IN. UM I THINK COMPUTER SCIENCE IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. AND WE SHOULD BE TEACHING MORE STUDENTS WHAT IS INVOLVED IN COMPUTER SCIENCE BEYOND JUST ONE SCHOOL.

I SEE THIS SORT OF AS A PILOT. OF WHAT? WHAT? UM. BENEFITS AND WHAT THINGS WE CAN REPLICATE.

[00:50:06]

EXCELLENT. OKAY, SO, UM. IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE FROM THE BOARD, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 50 PM THOSE OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. COME ON UP TO THE PODIUM ONE AT A TIME, PLEASE.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. MEGAMALL SCHOOL. I THOUGHT THERE WAS GONNA BE A REALLY BIG LINE THERE FOR A SECOND. ALL RIGHT. UM I WANT TO START BY THANKING OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD FOR ACCEPTING STUFF RECOMMENDATION. DENYING CRL S SUGAR PETITION UPHOLDING IT THAT TERESA AND LOCAL CONTROL AT YOUR PRESENTATION AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION LAST WEEK. I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED THE FOCUS. AND THE EXCELLENCE AND CONFIDENCE OF L USD STAFF. WHICH IS JUST REINFORCED AGAIN HERE TODAY. I ADMIT THAT I'M NOT TOTALLY UP TO SPEED ON THE VARIETY OF CHARTER MECHANISMS, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE TRUSTEES QUESTIONS IF I WERE SITTING UP THERE, AND I WERE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NEW SCHOOL, I WOULD BE ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS, TOO. AND AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. WHO WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING TAXPAYER RESOURCES THAT WILL BE SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL. I ALSO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY AN INTERNAL DISTRICT SCHOOL THAT PRIORITIZES LOCAL STUDENTS AND RECOGNIZES AND SUPPORTS EXISTING STUFF ADDRESSES A LOT OF CONCERNS THAT ARISE FROM INDEPENDENT CHARTER PETITIONS. THAT BEING SAID, AND IN THE INTERESTS OF ENSURING THAT WE CONTINUE TO EVER THE HIGHEST QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION POSSIBLE IN OUR DISTRICT. WE'D LIKE TO BE SURE THAT THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS FROM A REVIEW OF THE PETITION OR PUBLICLY ADDRESSED PRIOR TO A DECISION BEING MADE THAT WE IS MEETING THE MOUSE IN MY POCKET. I'VE ALSO PRINTED COPIES FOR TRUSTEE REFERENCE, WHICH I HAVE LEFT WITH THE CLERK OF THE BOARD. AH, IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY. SO FIRST OF ALL. DOES ANYONE NOT INVOLVED IN THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF THIS NEW CHARTER STAND TO GAIN FINANCIALLY FROM THIS SCHOOL? ARE THERE ANY CONSULTANTS OR ADVISORS? CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT A BUILDING SCHOOL COMMUNITY STUDENT ADVISOR? IS AS LISTED IN THE CURRENT POSITION AND RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY $54,000 IN THE BUDGET APPENDIX. WILL ENROLLMENT BE OPEN COUNTRYWIDE COUNTY WORD COUNTRYWIDE. THAT WOULD BE REALLY TOUGH. WILL CURRENT AND GEOGRAPHICALLY ADJACENT STUDENTS BE GIVEN FIRST RATE OF REFUSAL FOR PLACEMENT. AND WILL THAT ALWAYS BE THE CASE? AND FINALLY , THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS SAID TO BE CHOSEN AT THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION OF THE PRINCIPAL. HOW ULTIMATELY DOES THIS ENSURE THAT THE GENERAL POPULATION IS INCLUDED IN ADVISING THE PRINCIPLE AS OPPOSED TO BEING YOU KNOW? PIC OF THE PRESIDENT. THE PRINCIPLES, YOU KNOW, FRIENDS. THANK YOU. HELLO MY NAME IS PATRICIA HANSEL. I'M A PARENT IN THE DISTRICT AND AS FAR AS THE NEW CHARTER, IT'S INTERESTING TO LEARN ABOUT IT. LAST WEEK. I WISH THIS WERE COMMUNICATED MORE CLEARLY A LOT SOONER, BUT ANYHOW, WE DO HAVE QUESTIONS. AND FOR NEW TEACHERS HIRED AT THIS LOCATION. SHOULD THEY ARE THEY AWARE THAT THEY COULD SCHOA CHARTER SCHOOL? OR IF THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL RISK OF LOSING TENURE AND YEARS OF SERVICE UP TO A CERTAIN POINT. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND STATED IN THE ACTUAL CHARTER ITSELF. ENROLLMENTS AT BERNARDO YORBA MIDDLE SCHOOL SHOULD BE DISCLOSED AND SINCE THE PRESENTATION MADE JUST NOW SAYS THAT THE TEST SCORES ARE POOR.

WHY WOULD WE HAVE THE SAME ADMINISTRATOR OPERATE THE NEW CHARTER SCHOOL IF THE EXISTING

[00:55:07]

EVEN THOUGH SHE'S NOT IN ONE OF THOSE ACADEMIES, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE BUSSING KIDS. KIDS CAN WALK TO SCHOOL PARENTS CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS, THEIR THEIR KIDS NEARBY THEM IN THAT TYPE OF STUFF, SO UM, THOSE ARE SOME CONSIDERATIONS. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER STUDIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD EVENING. I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I'M A LITTLE TOO TALL FOR THIS, UM MY NAME IS JOHNSON BARTOWSKI, AND I AM A PARENT OF TWO CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ONE GRADUATE AND I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH GREAT HONOR TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE, APPRECIATION FOR THE REMARKABLE REMARKABLE EFFORTS OF DR BETH FISHER. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY THAT, UM AND HER TEAM AND, UM AND ALSO OUR ESTEEMED SUPERINTENDENT. DR CHARNESS. THIS IS THE THANK YOU FOR THE PROPOSED NEW CHARTER THAT DR FISHER'S BROUGHT FORWARD AND FOR THE INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP THAT, UM DR TURNER'S IS PROVIDED IN ENSURING THAT OUR STUDENTS EXCEL. DR FISHER. YOUR DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY ARE TRULY COMMENDABLE .

YOUR INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO EDUCATION IS A BEACON OF HOPE. YOUR LEADERSHIP HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR CREATIVE AND FORWARD THINKING STRATEGIES THAT EMPOWER OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS TO THRIVE YOUR DEDICATION TO PROVIDING THEM WITH THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IS INSPIRING. THIS CHARTER REPRESENTS NOT JUST THE DOCUMENT THAT A VISION FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR SCHOOL AND OUR CHILDREN, THIS IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE POWER OF COLLABORATION AS YOU SAW ALL THE STAFF THAT WAS HERE. AND THE PROFOUND IMPACT IT CAN HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY. IT REMINDS US THAT PROGRESS IS MADE THROUGH TEAMWORK, VISION IN THE DEEP ROOTED COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS, WELL BEING AS SOMEONE WHO'S WAITED 17 YEARS TO SEE A SCHOOL LIKE THIS.

UM I AM LOOKING AT THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF OTHER ONES THAT WE HAVE SEEN AROUND THAT TEND TO TARGET THE LGBT Q. PLUS SOCIETY ARE PEOPLE AND SO I THIS POLICY IS KIND OF VAGUE IN THAT AREA. AND THE POLICY TENDS TO MIMIC THE ONE THAT IS WITH THE CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE 49602. AND I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS REALLY JUST PUTTING BARRIERS IN FOR KIDS WHO HAVE TRUST IN THEIR TEACHERS AND PEOPLE THAT THEY WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE OUTED TO THEIR PARENTS WHEN MAYBE THEY'RE NOT QUITE READY TO LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW. AND I HAVE, UM, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THAT. MY

THE LEARNING LOSS IN THIS CALENDAR IS TOO GREAT AND THE GAINS FOR THIS WILDLY IMBALANCED SEMESTER. CALENDAR IS TOO SMALL. WE NEED TO DO BETTER FOR OUR STUDENTS. THEY DESERVE IT. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER FOR OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. HI. MY NAME IS KEN DURHAM, SORT FOR CANON AND I AM HERE TALKING ABOUT THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICY. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED WHEN READING THIS IS AS IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF US WERE UM, BECAUSE IT SEEMS A BIT REDUNDANT. IF THIS IS A POLICY ABOUT THE NOTIFICATION OF PARENTS WHEN YOU HAVE A STUDENT IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALREADY EXISTS. I MEAN, THE STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH POLICY WORK GROUP AS THEIR EXISTING CALIFORNIA POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH WERE MOST RECENTLY UPDATED IN JULY OF 2023 , WHICH HAVE CONSIDERATIONS OF POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT STAFF DEVELOPMENT AWARENESS OF WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDAL IDEA ELATION AND POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS. ALL THESE OTHER THINGS AND IN THESE NOTIFICATION TO A STUDENT'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN IS ALREADY EXISTING. AND I'M AWARE OF THAT, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I HAD SUICIDAL

[01:15:02]

THANK YOU, SIR. TODAY HIGH. UM THANK YOU. BOARD FOR YOUR TIME. MY NAME'S KATRINA ENRIQUEZ. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICY THAT THE BOARD IS CONSIDERING. THE WORRY WITH THIS POLICY IS THAT IT REALLY ERODES THE COUNSELOR STUDENT RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'RE HOPING TO FOSTER REALLY, COUNSELOR BEING A SAFE SPACE FOR KIDS STUDENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT. SPECIFICALLY FOR A LOT OF YOUR L G B T. PLUS STUDENTS. THIS MAY BE THE ONLY ADULT THAT THEY CAN COME TO AND FEEL LIKE THERE IS, UH, X REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. WHEN WE THEN SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO NOTIFY PARENTS. OF WHAT IS SAID IN THESE THESE COUNSELING SESSIONS. WE THEN ARE ERODING. THE CONFIDENCE THAT STUDENTS HAVE IN OUR COUNSELORS AND REALLY MAKING IT SO THAT STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED THESE SERVICES, THE MOST MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEM. IN DOING SO, WHAT WE MIGHT BE DOING IS FOR LGBT STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE SUPPORTIVE PARENTS AND DON'T HAVE ADULTS IN THEIR LIFE THAT SUPPORT THEM. WE MAY BE PLACING THEM IN DIRECT DANGER BY OUTING THEM TO THEIR PARENTS OUTING THEM, TOO. PEOPLE WHO MADE DRIVE THEM TO THINK, SUCH AS SUICIDE OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. FRANCIS. HI.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I'M HERE TO OPPOSE THE PRINCE AND NOTIFICATION POLICY AS PARENTS.

IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HARVEST A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CHILDREN AT AN EARLY AGE. THAT PROMOTES OPEN COMMUNICATION IN A WELCOMED AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN THAT RELATIONSHIP WAS BUILT , CHILDREN WILL COME TO US WHEN THEY ARE READY. THERE'S ONLY THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON WHY THAT RELATIONSHIP WOULDN'T EXIST. THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY IN OURS ALONE. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE

[01:20:05]

FOR YOUR TIME. I'M REALLY OUT OF SEQUENCE. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO FINDING THE LIGHT AT ELDORADO PRACTICE FIELD. I'M HERE TO DISAGREE WITH HAVING THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO PRACTICE FIELD, HAVING 80 FT LIGHTS ONLY 15 15 FT. BEHIND RESIDENTIAL HOMES IS INAPPROPRIATE, WRONG AND INFRINGEMENT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD . WE DID NOT COMPLAIN FOR ALL THE ADDITIONS TO ELDORADO IN THE PAST. WE'VE BEEN THERE OVER 30 YEARS. BUT THIS IS REALLY ASKING TOO MUCH. THE EXCESSIVE NATURE OF THESE STRUCTURES. 80 FT. 15 FT MAY BE CLOSER THAN WHAT YOU ARE NOW TWO HOMES AND ONE OF THE HOMES HAS TWO NEW BABIES, ONE YEAR OLD AND ONE BRAND NEW ONE. AND THEY WERE NOT TOLD WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THE EXCESSIVE NATURE OF THESE STRUCTURES ARE REALLY INAPPROPRIATE AND NOT NEEDED. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOT GIVEN WERE NOT GIVEN ANY CONSIDERATION WITH THIS DECISION. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE BOARD NOT TO APPROVE THE MONSTER STRUCTURES. SURELY THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO SPEND THE FUNDS FOR THIS MENTAL HEALTH BEING ONE OF THEM AS OF TONIGHT, AND ALSO THE NEW CHARTER SCHOOL. I DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED THOSE LIGHTS. YOU CAN PUT MORE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND HAVE THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS THERE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUMES FROM THE GASLIGHT AND AREN'T KIDS WENT TO EL DORADO, AND WE'RE FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND ATTRACT PEOPLE AND DID FINE WITH THE LIGHTS AND THEY SHOULD BE FINE AND WE DON'T WANT ALSO, ANY OUTSIDE ENTITY IS COMING, AND IT'S JUST FOR ELDORADO STUDENTS, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT, BUT THE LIGHTS ARE INAPPROPRIATE. 80 FT. I MEAN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND I KNOW SOMEBODY'S PUTTING THIS FOURTH, BUT THEY REALLY HAVE TO RECONSIDER THIS POSITION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING. ON SEPTEMBER 12TH PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD NOMINATED LEANDRA BLADES FOR THE BRIDGES THAT CRAMER COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REACHED OUT BY EMAIL. AS TRUSTEES, BUCK AND ANDERSON NOTED AT THE MEETING. BOTH WERE INTERESTED BUT KNEW IT WAS A VIOLATION OF OUR BYLAWS TO DISCUSS BOARD BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF PUBLIC SESSION. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE VOTES WERE WHIPPED BEFORE THE MEETING WAS CALLED TO ORDER WHICH VIOLATE THE RULES AND DIMINISH OUR PROCESS. LAST MEETING DURING THE PRESENTATION OF THE BUDGET, IT WAS EMBARRASSINGLY EVIDENT THAT ONE BOARD MEMBER DID NOT

[01:25:01]

CURBELO. STEPHANIE DE AND BRENT . I'M SORRY, BUT I'M GONNA NOT READ THE SPEECH I HAD PREPARED BECAUSE I'VE JUST NOT HEARD SUCH NONSENSE. LIKE I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PARENTS DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOL THAT A TEACHER OR A COUNSELOR OR A BUS DRIVER SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT OUR KIDS THAT WE DON'T KNOW IS THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD. WE ARE HERE AS PARENTS. ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY THIS SIDE OVER HERE BECAUSE WE LOVE OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR KIDS, AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PARENTS TO DO, TOO. BUT THEY'RE BUSY WORKING, AND THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO KNOW IS IF SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT OUR CHILD THAT MAYBE THEY ARE A LITTLE SCARED TO TELL US BUT WE NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO INTERVENE AND HELP THEM WITH THE TROUBLE. THEY'RE GOING THROUGH. I HAVE SIX KIDS, ONE OF MY CHILDREN.

DID HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A WHILE THINKING THAT SHE WAS A BOY. AND IF IT IF IT WASN'T FOR SOMEONE

[01:30:01]

SOMEBODY SAID THAT THIS KI CALIFORNIA KNOWS BETTER BECAUSE THEY PUT A LAW IN PLACE THAT PROTECTS CHILDREN AS SOME SORT OF THINK THIS IS THE SAME STATE THAT HAS A CALIFORNIA EDUCATION WHERE 47% OF THE CHILDREN CANNOT DO ENGLISH. 33% CANNOT DO MATH. THIS IS THE ONE WHO WERE FOLLOWING. WE NEED TO STOP THIS RIGHT NOW. AND WE NEED TO HAVE THE RIGHT. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING BOARD SUPERINTENDENT. FIRST OF ALL, DR TURNER'S, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE PARENT NOTIFICATION TO THE TABLE TO INTRODUCING IT INTO ALLOWING US PARENTS THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES AS THE PREVIOUS PERSON JUST SAID. THOSE OF US WHO ARE HERE WE'RE CARING ABOUT OUR KIDS. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. AS EXCITED AS DR FISHER IS VERY EXCITED TO TELL HER THAT ABOUT HER CHARTER . WE, AS PARENTS ARE EXCITED TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH OUR CHILDREN. IF THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON, WE WANT TO KNOW WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE WE ARE HERE. WE'RE LISTENING INVOLVED, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY IS THAT WAY. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. HI MY NAME IS STEPHANIE . AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH BOARD FOR PROVIDING AIR CONDITIONING TO EL DORADOS. JIM IT WAS A LONG VOLLEYBALL SEASON LAST YEAR. AMAZING WE WENT TO STATE FINALS, BUT IT WAS HOT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING IT OUT THAT THEY CAN STILL HAVE A SEASON AND THEN GET THE AIR CONDITIONING AND ALSO LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER PUTTING IN LIGHTS. MY KIDDOS PLAYED SOCCER HAD MANY GAMES CALLED BECAUSE IT GOT TOO DARK, SO I JUST FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE EQUITABLE FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE THEM SINCE EVERY OTHER HIGH SCHOOL HAS THEM. FINALLY I UNDERSTAND WHY SOME TEACHERS MIGHT WANT TO HOLD ON TO POWER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM PARENTS. BUT I DON'T GET WHITE. ANY PARENT WOULD WANT TO GIVE AWAY POWER WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO THE BEST EDUCATOR IN THE WORLD WHERE THEIR PARENTS WE ALL LOVE OUR CHILDREN. WE'VE BEEN WITH THEM SINCE DAY ONE WILL BE WITH THEM. TELL GOD TAKES US AWAY AND I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR KIDDOS SO WE CAN SUPPORT THEM. THANK YOU. HI MY NAME IS BRENT. I DIDN'T K THROUGH 12 IN THIS DISTRICT. I KIDS, UM, HAVE A SENIOR AT ELDORADO. UM I WANT TO SPEAK STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF A YES VOTE ON THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION. UH, POLICY. UM SOME OF THINGS I'M HEARING UP HERE. I'M JUST FLABBERGASTED. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AGAINST THIS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU FEEL LIKE PARENTS ARE MONSTERS. I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 0.1% IN THESE SITUATIONS WHERE PARENTS ARE DRIVING THEIR KIDS TO SUICIDE. IT'S CRAZY. PARENTS NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN CHILDREN. THERE ARE CHILDREN. AND YOU KNOW, TO THE MOM OF TWO KIDS THAT TRANSITIONED IF YOUR KIDS WERE DE TRANSITIONING, I WOULD WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT, JUST AS I WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT MAYAN STUDENT'S LIFE AND, UM PARENTS NEED TO KNOW. THANK YOU. NEXT FOUR. NEXT FOUR. SPEAKERS INCLUDE KIERAN F. PETTY BETTA.

LINDA MANION. AND BEND STEPS. HI I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FOR ALL STUDENTS. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE EVEN HAVE TO DO THIS. BUT THESE DAYS WE DO COVID REALLY HIT OUR KIDS HARD AND THE AMOUNT OF DEPRESSION, LONELINESS , DRUG ABUSE, SUICIDES AND CONFUSION IS OFF THE CHARTS. IF SOMETHING IS NOTICED AT SCHOOL, IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RELAYED TO THE PARENTS. THIS IS A BASIC FUNDAMENTAL PARENT RIGHT? THAT SHOULD NOT BE A FRINGED UPON WITHOUT LEGITIMATE REASON. TO ASSUME A SCHOOL STAFF MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION, INFLUENCE AND SAY IN A CHILD'S LIFE THAN A PARENT IS SIMPLY ABSURD. SOME PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CREATING BARRIERS TO TRUST BETWEEN STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. BUT IT'S OKAY TO CREATE A BARRIER TO TRUST BETWEEN STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS. WHY IS SCHOOL STAFF THE PRIORITY IN A CHILD'S LIFE? ADDITIONALLY I'M GLAD TO SEE THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO. FINALLY ON THEIR WAY THOSE ATHLETES DESERVE

[01:35:03]

MINE ISN'T SPANISH. SO IS THERE A TRANSLATOR BECAUSE IT'S A SPENT SHOULD THEY SPANISH ON THERE? I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW. AND THEY DO IT IN SPANISH. OKAY? WHEN IT'S NOT JUST ME, BUT THE MADRE, YOUR TANGO BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S A DISTRICT. OH GRACIAS, SIENDO. THEY'RE SITTING DISTRICT. WHICH I HAD TO THESE LAWS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A SANDY PADRES DIDN'T HAVE A LOOK AT THE PASANDO IN LAS VIDAS, C I. AL GAMAL AND LOS NINOS LOS PADRES SEVEN DAYS A VERY NO, IT'S LIKE NOISE LAW RESPONSIBILITY. TORRES. KAMALA'S NINOS. PHYSICAL MENTAL OR MENTAL MEANT. IMPORTANT. TELESCOPES HAS HANDED US PADRES GETTING INDIOS YES SAKE. SUPER HUMAN. ALAS ESCUELA SEVEN. THE RESPITE ARE LITERALLY HUMAN CADA PERSONA DISTRICT. OH BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. ACCUSED THIS DIFFICULTY ON THE PADRES. GRACIAS. THANK YOU.

UNFORTUNATELY I MISSED DLL BALLET CLASSES. GO AHEAD THERE. GOOD EVENING. I'M LINDA MANNION , PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ESSENTIAL AND EDUCATORS. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT FOR A TENNER TO TEACHERS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. WE HAVE A STATE OF THE ART MUSIC PROGRAM THAT'S PROVIDED FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS WHO GO TO SCHOOL TO SCHOOL AND MEET WITH OUR CHILDREN. OUR OWN. JEFF EVANS WAS NAMED AS ORANGE COUNTY MUSIC TEACHER OF THE YEAR. AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. VERY PROUD OF HIM ARE ALSO OUR PE TEACHERS ARE OUT IN THE SUN EVERY DAY THEY'RE GOING SCHOOL TO SCHOOL, PROVIDING FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS MOVING MOVING BEHIND THE SCENES WE'VE SEEN COME AND GO, AND THEY'RE THERE EVERY DAY FOR US. OUR MATH TEACHERS ARE SPECIAL TEACHERS ARE SPEECH TEACHERS. ALL OF OUR ITINERANTS ARE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR US EVERY SINGLE DAY, MAKING SURE OUR KIDS HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED. AND WHAT THEY NEED IS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE FACILITIES WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT SCHOOL TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR JOBS AND OUR MUSIC TEACHERS HAVE COME TO US AND ON THEIR ON THEIR SURVEY THEY JUST TOOK A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT FACILITIES FOR THEIR MUSIC PROGRAM FOR THE BAND, THE ORCHESTRA. WE HAVE A NEW VOCAL PROGRAM THAT WE'RE MOVING, AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED FACILITIES FOR THAT. OUR PE TEACHERS NEED TO HAVE A DESK. AND A COMPUTER AND A PLACE TO EITHER WORK.

THAT'S ALL THEY'RE ASKING FOR, AND I THINK WE NEED TO PROVIDE THAT AT OUR SCHOOLS, EVERY EVERY TEACHER CREDENTIAL. EVERY TEACHER IS COMING TO SCHOOL, AND THEY'RE SERVING OUR KIDS, AND THEY NEED TO HAVE THE FACILITIES IN YEARS. SO I'M ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT. ANYTHING SUPERINTENDENT , JOURNALISTS AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND BEN STUBS APPARENT HERE, THE PPL DISTRICT I'D LIKE TO GIVE OUR SUPPORT TO THE BOAT BOARD POLICY RESOLUTION NUMBER 61 64.3 ON PARENTAL NOTIFICATION . WHAT? THIS REALLY, UM RESOLUTION COMMUNICATES TO ME IS THAT THE BOARD IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY THIS ISSUE OF STUDENT SAFETY. IT FOCUSES IN MY MIND ON THE REPORTING OF CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ADMINISTRATORS STAFF. PARENTS, PUPILS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE UNDERLYING PSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIO EMOTIONAL SEXUAL IDENTITY TO BE REVEALED IN ANY WAY. UM I BELIEVE THIS RESOLUTION TAKES THE REALITY OF

[01:40:05]

STEVE, YOU HAVE TELL ME YOUR NAME WHEN YOU GET UP HERE. THANK YOU. I'M KIM MANNING. SORRY FOR SPEAKING EARLIER. I SO MIKE CHILDREN THAT ARE GENDER TREND NONCONFORMING TOLD ME. THEY WERE. ACTUALLY I COULD SEE IT BECAUSE OF THEIR BEHAVIOR THAT THEY'VE BEEN EXHIBITING LIKE THEIR WHOLE LIVES. BECAUSE I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. AND SO MY CONCERN IS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE MY KIDS. NO OTHER KIDS AT SCHOOL THEY GO . YEAH, THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, FEEL THEIR GENDER NONCONFORMING. THEY DON'T WANT THEIR PARENTS TO KNOW THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE TELLING THEM OR THEY SAY, I KNOW MY PARENTS ARE NOT GOING TO LET ME DO THIS SO THEY DONT TELL THEM AND IN I DON'T THINK A TEACHER SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO THAT. IT ALSO PUTS A BIG BURDEN ON THE TEACHERS WHO ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH TO DO. CERTAINLY SOMEONE ISN'T RISK OF HARM. I DEFINITELY BELIEVE YES, YOU SHOULD BE INFORMING, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO INFORM ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT THEIR ISSUE IS BECAUSE UP TO THE CHILD AND THE IT'S UP TO THE PARENT TO ESTABLISH THAT RELATIONSHIP. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY TEACHERS GOOD UNION BAD, VERY BAD. PARENTAL NOTIFICATION. GOOD IF A PARENT IS FINANCIALLY AND CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR A CHILD'S ACTIONS, THEY SHOULD KNOW ALL ASPECTS OF THAT CHILD'S LIFE. PLEASE PASS PARENTAL NOTIFICATION. PROVEN WAY TO SEPARATE CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS IS TOO SEXUALIZED THEM LIKE L. A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES WEDNESDAY. THIS WEDNESDAY IS NATIONALS COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET DAY L. A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS AN ACTION PLAN FOR COMING OUT DAY ALL WEEK LONG FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN. PARENTS THAT LIVE IN L A. DON'T BE SURPRISED WHEN YOUR KID COMES HOME TONIGHT OR TOMORROW NIGHT, DADDY, I WANT TO WEAR A DRESS. SORRY, SON, NOT APPROPRIATE. CALL IN SICK WITH COVID GET THE FIVE DAYS OFF. GET OUT OF THAT SCHOOL. SEAN LEANDRA . TODD THANK YOU FOR TAKING ALL THE ARROWS AND ROCKS AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES YOUR WAY FROM THE COMMIE SOCIALIST PEOPLE IN THE UNION. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO STAND IN THE WAY AND TAKE THOSE ON ELDORADO. IF YOU LIVE NEAR A SCHOOL, IT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT CHILDREN WILL BE YELLING SCREAMING AND THERE WILL BE A FIELD LIGHTS AS LONG AS THEY'RE OFF BY 10. THANK YOU, SIR. ALRIGHT THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENT. NO, HE HE SCRATCHED OKAY? UM, AT THIS POINT. I'VE GOT AH, 7 43 HERE I SAY WE TAKE UNTIL EIGHT O'CLOCK STRETCH YOUR LEGS GO TO THE RESTROOM. OKAY. I'M SORRY. LET'S GO TILL WELCOME BACK FROM THE BREAK. WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON WITH OUR MEETING, FOLKS. IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND FIND A SEAT IN THE BACK, PLEASE. PLEASE. FOR THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF MY SPANISH RIGHT THERE INSPIRED. I WAS GONNA ASK IF, UH IF YOU WOULD DO IT IN ENGLISH, JUST SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE ACTUALLY SAYING I'D CATCH EVERY OTHER WORD. UNLESS UNLESS THERE WAS TACO OR SOMETHING IN IT. I WAS I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WHAT IT WAS NOW. I APPRECIATE

[14. ACTION ITEMS - GENERAL FUNCTIONS]

[01:45:06]

BETWEEN DISTRICT STAFF AND PARENTS IN SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS. SO THIS POLICY CODIFIES IN WRITING. LAWS SUPPORTING PARENT NOTIFICATION. IT DOESN'T CREATE NEW EDUCATION CODE IT DOESN'T CREATE OR IT DOESN'T CITE NEW POLICY. WHAT IT DOES IS CODIFIED IN WRITING.

WHAT IS ALREADY IN LAW. REGARDING WHEN PARENTS OR GUARDIANS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

AND IT HOLDS OUR STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR ADHERING. TO THOSE LAWS. SO WITH THAT YOU HAVE THE PARENT NOTIFICATION POLICY. WELL, DOCTOR TURNS WITH THIS IN ANY WAY. PUT OUR DISTRICT IN, UH, ANY SORT OF FINANCIAL ISSUE WITH LAWSUITS. UM. I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I CAN'T SAY THAT THIS THIS POLICY HAS BEEN VETTED BY COUNSEL AND AGAIN AND HERE'S ITS SIGHTS TO EXISTING EDUCATION CODE. AND IT CITES EXISTING BOARD POLICY. THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN VETTED IN HIS LEGAL. THANK YOU. OTHER BOARD MEMBERS QUESTIONS. YES UM, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW? YEAH. WHY? WHY IS THAT BROUGHT TO THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW. SO AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN, UM UH, I THINK THE POLICY SPEAKS TO THAT. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, RATHER THAN TO AD LIB, THAT I WILL JUST SAY THAT DUE TO THE CURRENT NATIONWIDE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS EXACERBATED BY THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, AND I'M I'M READING RIGHT FROM THE POLICY STINGY YOUR BELINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RECOGNIZES THE NEED FOR FREQUENT , ONGOING AND OFTENTIMES IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION STAFF AND PARENTS AND GUARDIANS. FURTHERMORE WITH REPORTS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND SUICIDE RATES AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AMONG PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, ACTION IS NEEDED. TO ADDRESS THIS EMERGING CRISIS AND SUPPORT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF DISTRICT STUDENTS. SO IF A STUDENT STATES THAT THEY WANT TO HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS RIGHT NOW, BEFORE THIS POLICY, WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL? WE HAVE WE HAVE SET. SORRY CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY WE DO HAVE SET PROTOCOLS SUICIDE PREVENTION PROTOCOLS IN TERMS OF HOW WE RESPOND WHEN STUDENTS EXPRESSED SUICIDAL IDEATION, TYPICALLY SPEAKING, IF A STUDENT IS MAKING ANY SORT OF THREAT, THE REFERRED TO MENTAL HEALTH FOCUS ON OUR CAMPUS THAT ARE TRAINED ON HOW TO EVALUATE AND ASSESS THAT LEVEL OF THREAT AND IF IT'S DEEMED THAT THAT THREAT EXISTS, THEN IT WOULD REQUIRE US TO NOTIFY PARENTS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN IN PRACTICE FOR YEARS. WHO ELSE WOULD WE NOTIFY? IN THE EVENT OF , UM IF IT'S STUDENTS PRESENTING IMMEDIATE DANGER ON THE SITE PRINCIPLE WOULD BE PART OF THAT PROCESS. UM, WE WOULD NOTIFY THE PARENTS AND WE WOULD NOTIFY, UM , THE RESPONDING PARTY THAT WOULD DO THE INITIAL EVALUATION. WHETHER IT'S THE HOSPITAL THAT'S ASSESSING THAT STUDENT OR WHETHER IT'S POLICE DEPARTMENT. IF IT'S AN IMMEDIATE THREAT, WHERE WE NEED TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE STUDENT TO THE HOSPITAL, SO IF IT'S A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER WHO DO WE CALL FIRST? DO WE CALL THE PARENT OR DO WE CALL THE POLICE? OR DO WE CALL THE CAT TEAM? I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IT'S I DON'T KNOW THERE'S NECESSARILY ONE CLEAR ANSWER TO THAT, BECAUSE THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FOR OUR STAFF IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENT IS OKAY. SO DEPENDING ON HOW THE STUDENTS PRESENTING IF THEY HAVE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR SUPPORT, UM

[01:50:01]

BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THAT SUICIDALITY FALLS UNDERNEATH THAT. PROVISION. OKAY UM, THIS POLICY REFERENCES ARE BOARD POLICY TO 440. WHICH IS, UM QUOTED IN HERE. AND POLICY TO WHATEVER IT IS. 2440 THIS IS KIND OF LIKE AN OOPS POLICY, RIGHT? IT'S KIND OF LIKE A ONE TIME ONLY POLICY. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CATCH, ALL LIKE IF WE DIDN'T PERCEIVE YOU KNOW SOMETHING WAS GOING TO BE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER THAT IT GIVES THE SUPERINTENDENT POWERS TO ACT ON IT ONE TIME. AND IT SAYS IN THE VERY BOTTOM, THE SUPERINTENDENT OR AS IN THE SHALL NOTIFY THE BOARD AS SOON AS PRACTICAL AFTER HE OR SHE EXERCISES THE AUTHORITY IF THE ACTION INDICATES THE NEED FOR ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICY, THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE SHALL MAKE THE NECESSARY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD. SO. AS I READ THIS, UM IF WE USE THIS PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICY FOR CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. THEN IT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO US TO UPDATE OUR BOARD POLICIES BECAUSE WE HAVE BOARD POLICIES ON WEAPONS AND DANGEROUS INSTRUMENTS. WE HAVE BOARD POLICIES ON SUICIDE PREVENTION, UM EVEN ON INFECTIOUS DISEASE. THAT COULD BE IT. WE HAVE LOTS OF BOARD POLICY. SO IF THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE THEN WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND ADD PARENTS NOTIFICATIONS TO EACH OF THOSE POLICIES. IS THAT CORRECT? NO SO I THINK IN PARAGRAPH TWO OF THE 24 40, WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT THING TO BRING UP. IT'S IN ANY SITUATION IN WHICH IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED TO AVOID ANY RISK TO THE SAFETY OR SECURITY OF DISTRICT STUDENTS, STAFF OR PROPERTY OR DISRUPTION TO STUDENT LEARNING. THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ACT ON

[01:55:02]

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS INVOLVED IN ALL OF THAT, AND PARENTS NEED TO BE INVOLVED BECAUSE, LIKE SOMEBODY SAID EARLIER, SOME PARENTS CAN'T BE INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY WORK 12 JOBS. THEY WORK NIGHT SHIFT. THERE'S THINGS WHERE THEY NEED SUPPORT AND CONNECTION WITH THE TEACHERS.

MORE AND THE THING I'VE NOTICED THE ENTIRE TIME IN THIS DISTRICT IS COMMUNICATION IS NOT GREAT. I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT THERE ARE COMMUNICATION ISSUES ACROSS THE BOARD, AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO HELP CODIFY THE THINGS THAT ARE IN PLACE TO REMIND EVERYBODY. HEY, THESE ARE OUR PARENTS, KIDS. THAT'S WHO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE COMMUNICATE WITH THEM. I WOULD LIKE, UM.

LEGAL COUNSEL TO KIND OF WRITE AN OPINION ON THAT. I'VE TALKED TO A SCHOOL ATTORNEY REGARDING THIS AND. AS I READ THIS BOARD POLICY TO 440 IT IS KIND OF. THE THING I GOT FROM COUNCIL WAS THAT IT'S NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED OVER AND OVER ON THE SAME SITUATION. IT'S KIND OF A ONE TIME THING, AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT. SO I WOULD LIKE COUNSEL'S OPINION ON THAT. AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY CLEAR TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE APPROVING AND WHAT WE'RE NOT APPROVING. I AM FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS. AND I WANT OUR PARENTS TO BE NOTIFIED, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR IN OUR POLICIES THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT THINKING OF SAYING ONE THING AND NOT SAYING ANOTHER THING. SO I JUST WOULD LIKE TO GET COUNSEL'S OPINION ON THIS. THE COUNCIL DID PROVIDE THEIR OPINION THAT THIS IS LEGAL. YES I'M AWARE THAT IT'S LEGAL, BUT I WANT TO GET CLARIFICATION ON OUR BOARD POLICY TO 440 ABOUT HOW IT IS UTILIZED IN REGARDS TO THIS POLICY. I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS. UM. SO I ALSO BELIEVE THAT PARENTS SHOULD BE OUR NUMBER ONE PARTNERS AND THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. I HAVE NO NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT AT ALL. I MEAN, I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CHILD.

UM BUT THERE ARE RULES AROUND KIDS RIGHTS STUDENTS RIGHTS OVER THE AGE OF 12, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THOSE WITHIN HERE OR IN ANOTHER WAY, UM, WHETHER THAT'S A STUDENT RIGHTS POLICY OR A HANDBOOK, AS DR TURNER'S HAD MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY FOR STUDENTS WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM SO THAT STUDENTS CAN UNDERSTAND THIS THIS IS NOT CLEAR. IT'S VAGUE FOR STUDENTS AS WELL. UM SO I WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND WHAT WILL BE DISCLOSED TO PARENTS, UM OUTRIGHT. UM COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE WERE, UM , CURRENTLY IF A STUDENT IS FOUND UNDER THE INFLUENCE DRUGS OF DRUGS ARE PARENTS NOTIFIED? YES, THEY ARE. UM, CURRENTLY, WELL, UM SO CURRENTLY IF A. YEAH, THAT'S MY LINE. AH! IF A STUDENT TELLS THEIR COUNSELOR OR TEACHER THAT THEY ARE LGBTQ, OR THEY WANT TO BE CALLED BY ANOTHER NAME OR PRONOUN PRONOUN ARE WE RESPONSIBLE? ARE WE REQUIRED TO LET THAT PARENT? NO. IF THE CONVERSATION IS DIRECTLY WITH A COUNSELOR, YES AND IT AND IT PREVENTS IN. IT BRINGS UP NOTHING RELATED TO, UM UH HUH.

[02:00:05]

[02:05:02]

THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY ASKING ABOUT STUDENTS THAT IDENTIFY OR OR OR WANT TO IDENTIFY AS ANOTHER GENDER. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR WHAT OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE SO THAT OUR STUDENTS KNOW AND OUR PARENTS KNOW. SO YOU'RE SAYING IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SHOWS THAT THE STUDENT MIGHT BE EXPRESSING GENDER DYSPHORIA AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT GENDER CHANGES. WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IDENTIFYING AS A DIFFERENT GENDER? NO I'M JUST SAYING THEY WANT LGBT GENDER DYSPHORIA IS A DIFFERENT A DIFFERENT BEAST AND ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH GENDER CHANGING OR GENDER. UM ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT THIS IS THE BEGIN. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT THE D S. M FIVE. SO THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC IS WHAT IS HAS PEOPLE UPSET AND HAVE THEM QUESTIONING . SO I WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON WHAT THE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE AND WHAT THE RIGHTS ARE OF OUR STUDENTS. OKAY CAN I CAN I SPEAK AS A STUDENT AND STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE OF OTHER STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT? I FEEL LIKE IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALL STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT FOR THEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS POLICY AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM DIRECTLY, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK BEFORE THIS, UM MEETING. I KNEW ANYTHING OF THIS POLICY AND IF IT DOES AFFECT ANY ME OR ANY OTHER STUDENTS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE KNOWN HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM AND LIKE AND THEY JUST SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE POLICY. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AS A STUDENT.

YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY KNOW THE POLICIES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, BEING CREATED AND ESPECIALLY TO I WILL SAY THAT LAST YEAR. UM I WAS SUPER GRATEFUL FOR A FOOTBALL COACH WHO GAVE ME A PHONE CALL AND SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, YOUR SON IS USUALLY VERY OUTSPOKEN AND YOU KNOW, ENERGETIC AND STUFF. AND FOR THE LAST WEEK HE HASN'T BEEN AND I SAID, OH, WELL, HE'S YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN SICK SINUS INFECTION, AND WE FINALLY GOT A MAN IN BIOTICS, BUT HE IS JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS WEEK. AND SO I WAS SUPER GRATEFUL BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IF HE WASN'T SICK AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE BEHAVIOR? I WAS GRATEFUL I SET UP. WE HAVE A SINUS INFECTION WHERE YOU HAVE MEDICATION, AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE TURNING TO HIS NORMAL LOUD SOUTH. AND SO I THINK THAT THESE TYPE OF SCENARIOS. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AS A BOARD, WHEREAS I MEAN AND HAVING A POLICY THAT IS SO COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF OTHER DISTRICTS WHO HAVE PASSIVE PARENT PARENTAL NOTIFICATION. I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A VERY THOUGHTFUL THOUGHT OUT POLICY THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. AND IT'S ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR THE STUDENTS WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM DEALING WITH EATING DISORDERS OR DEALING WITH DEPRESSION OR DEALING WITH THINGS AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT LEFT BEHIND. IF I MAY ADD, YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE OUR EXPECTATION BECAUSE OUR TEACHERS IN GENERAL, THEY OBSERVED KIDS ALL DAY LONG AND THINGS THAT MAY CAUSE THEM CONCERN WHERE THEY WOULD WANT TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND TALK TO A PARENT AND MAKE THEM AWARE OF A CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT MY CAUTION WOULD BE THAT WE ALSO WANT THAT TEACHER TO UTILIZE THE MENTAL HEALTH STAFF THAT WE DO HAVE ON OUR CAMPUSES WHO HAVE SPECIFIC TRAINING. IN LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE ISSUES, SO IT'S A TWO PART TO IT. SO IF THAT STUDENT THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING TRUSTEE BLADES IS PRESENTING IN A WAY THAT CAUSES THE TEACHER CONCERN. OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT THEY REFER THAT STUDENT UP TO WELLNESS COUNSELOR REFER THEM TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR WHO HAS SPECIFIC EXPERTISE AND BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE. YES OF COURSE. PARENTS WOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THAT CONVERSATION, BUT WE WOULD WANT THE EXPERTISE OF SOMEBODY WHO HAS THAT TRAINING TO LOOK AT THOSE KINDS OF BEHAVIORS SO THAT THEY CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH THE PARENT. BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO PREVENT OUR TEACHERS DO IT ALL THE TIME. CONTACT PARENTS TO SHARE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE ABOUT STUDENTS. WHETHER THERE YOU KNOW, APPEARING TIRED IN CLASS, WHETHER THEY'RE UNDERPERFORMING OVERPERFORMING.

[02:10:04]

I UNDERSTAND. UM YOU'RE ASKING QUESTIONS THAT ARE I THINK ANSWERING THEMSELVES BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAID WAS, IF IT'S NOT DISRUPTING, OR THEY'RE NOT SHOWING THAT THERE ARE SIGNS THAT'S AN ISSUE THEN I THINK AND THEY'RE THEY'RE GAY. THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE D S M FIVE IN THE DEFINITION OF GENDER DYSPHORIA, WHICH IS IN THERE, IT'S ABOUT TRANSITION, AND IF THERE'S THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH SOMETHING THAT SAYS, I SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, JUST LIKE WHETHER IT'S BULIMIA, WHETHER IT'S DRUGS, WHETHER IT'S ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR IS DIFFERENT IN A STUDENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE REASON IS , IT NEEDS TO BE COMMUNICATED WITH THE PARENTS. YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT RIGHT? I DON'T AGREE ENTIRELY WITH THAT. I THINK TEACHER TO TEACHER SEES A CHANGE IN THE STUDENT THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY NORMALLY ARE. YOU DON'T THINK THAT THAT CONSTITUTE TELLING AT THE PARENT HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? YOU'RE SURE RIGHT STUDENT COMES UP AND SAYS I'M GAY, BUT I HAVEN'T COME OUT TO MY PARENTS YET. SURE AND THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE A SITUATION. A LOT OF THESE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, JUST LIKE RICHARD SAID, IS THEY'RE THEY'RE VERY SITUATION BASED RIGHT TO CONFIRM THAT THIS POLICY DOESN'T VIOLATE OUR STUDENTS RIGHTS, VIOLATING STUDENTS OUR COMMUNITY TO HEAR THAT I UNDERSTAND BUT VIOLATING STUDENTS RIGHTS IN LIEU OF KEEPING PARENTS INFORMED, I BELIEVE IS WRONG. SO WAIT. DID I SAY THAT BACKWARDS? YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? KEEPING STUDENTS RIGHTS IN PLACE , RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I MEAN KEEPING STUDENTS RIGHTS IN PLACE. IN SPITE OF PARENTAL NOTIFICATION, I THINK IS WRONG. SO IN THESE IN THESE SITUATIONS , I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF SITUATIONAL KIND OF DECISIONS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE MADE IN THE SECOND TO LAST PARAGRAPH, IT SAYS, UH, THE SUPERINTENDENT DIRECTS ALL NON SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO NOTIFY PARENTS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF ALL NON ACADEMIC RELATED COMMUNICATIONS, WHICH WOULD AVOID ANY RISK OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF DISTRICT STAFF. STUDENTS PROPERTY DISRUPTION OF STUDENTS LEARNING AS SET FORTH AND BP 24 40 SO IN THE CASE WHERE THAT WOULD BUT IF THEY JUST MENTION IT HAPPY KID, THEY JUST MENTION IT AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S GOING ON. THEN I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY SOME DISCRETION THAT THE TEACHER NEEDS TO YOU. HOWEVER IF THERE'S ANY WOULD BE VIOLATING THAT STUDENTS RIGHTS IF THEY'RE OVER THE AGE OF 13, AND WE'RE DISCLOSING INFORMATION. NO, NO, I'M SAYING ISN'T CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER FINISH IF THEY SAY IF THEY MAKE A COMMENT TO A TEACHER. AND THEY JUST MAKE A COMMENT. FLIPPANT MOVE ON. THE TEACHER DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON, KIDS SAY STUFF ALL THE TIME.

MY KIDS SAY STUFF ALL THE TIME, NOT LIKE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT. BUT WE MOVE ON RIGHT? I THINK THIS ALL COMES BACK TO IF THERE IS A BEHAVIOR CHANGE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS MARKEDLY DIFFERENT ABOUT THE STUDENT NON ACADEMIC RELATED OR ACADEMIC RELATED AS WELL. THE PARENTS NEED TO BE NOTIFIED. THE POINT OF THIS AND THE SPIRIT OF THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOTIFYING PARENTS WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS OFF WITH THEIR KIDS SO THAT THEY CAN BE INVOLVED IN ALL THE STEPS, MAKING SURE THAT THAT CHILD IS CARED FOR IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, AND THE PARENTS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT REALLY KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THEIR KIDS. I BELIEVE WE ALREADY HAVE THAT IN PLACE IN OUR BOARD POLICIES AND IN ED CODE, SO THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S JUST PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AND PUTTING A NEW NAME ON IT. FOR POLITICAL REASONS.

THIS IS THE FURTHEST FROM POLITICS POLITICAL. IT'S A LOT MORE OTHER STUFF, OKAY ANY MORE TIME IN REAL QUICK, ACTUALLY, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT DOES NOT, UM, OUT, PEOPLE OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY CANNOT BE DIRECTLY SAID IN THE POLICY JUST TO I PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROTECTION FOR THOSE PEOPLE IF THEY ALSO DO NOT POSE AND THEN THAT A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR

[02:15:03]

UNLESS THERE IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER AND THAT CHILD IS GOING TO BE, UM IS HAVE SOME SORT OF HARM RELATED TO THAT, SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, ASSUMPTIONS BEING MADE ABOUT THE OTHER POLICIES. I DO AGREE THAT THEY ARE A LITTLE BIT EGREGIOUS AND HOW THEY POINT OUT SPECIFIC THINGS RELATED TO L G B T Q. RIGHT? UM, HOWEVER, THE PURPOSE . I BELIEVE OF THOSE POLICIES IS NOT JUST TO OUT STUDENTS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S BEEN THE TERM WE'VE GOT EMAILS ABOUT. THIS IS THE OUTING POLICY. PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT TONIGHT. IT'S NOT AN OUTING POLICY, ITS PARENT COMMUNICATION. I THINK THE ISSUE WITH THE OTHER DISTRICTS IS THAT THEY HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CALLED THAT OUT IN SPAIN IN SAYING WE'RE DOING THIS, WHICH MEANS PEOPLE FEEL ATTACKED. AND THAT'S AND THEY FEEL LIKE WELL. THAT'S THE FOCUS IS AS OPPOSED TO THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION BEING THE FOCUS WHICH I THINK IF WE START ADDING IN ALL THESE THINGS THAT IT'S NOT THEN IT NEGATES. THE PURPOSE OF THE POINT OF IT IS PARALLEL NOTIFICATION AND I THINK AGAIN, IT HAS TO COME BACK TO ITS SPECIFIC NOTIFICATION OR SPECIFIC SITUATIONS WITH STUDENTS JUST LIKE RICHARD KEPT AT ANSWERING. WELL IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION AND INSIDE OF A COUNSELING SITUATION. THERE ARE ALSO DIFFERENT RULES OUTSIDE OF NON COUNSELORS. RIGHT SO THERE'S SO MANY THINGS WITHIN THIS THAT I THINK I PERSONALLY LIKE THE WAY THAT THIS IS STATED BECAUSE IT ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING RELATED TO A STUDENT HAVING CHANGES THAT ARE OBVIOUS INSTEAD OF THE TEACHER TRYING TO BE THE UH, THE COUNSELOR. THANK YOU. IT'S COMING BACK TO THE PARENTS . SO THAT'S ALL I DON'T THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE ANYTHING SPECIFIC NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR. THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK POLICY. CORRECT THIS IS A COMMUNICATION POLICY. AND I THINK THAT'S THE THING THAT HAS BEEN MISCHARACTERIZED. I THINK I THINK THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE MAYBE ATTACK POLICIES. I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T CREATE THEM. I DID. I WASN'T PART OF THOSE. UM, BUT THAT'S WHERE I THINK THIS LANDS. THIS IS A COMMUNICATION POLICY IS NOT AN ATTACK POLICY.

SO MAYBE WE TALK ABOUT CALLING IT PARENTAL COMMUNICATION BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME TITLE AS ALL OF THESE OTHER ONES OUT THERE, AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICIES THAT BRINGS TO MIND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE OTHER DISTRICTS. AND IT BEING MISINTERPRETED THAT WAY, SO IT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT SAME TITLE. IF IT'S NOT TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR, AND WE'RE DOING THIS IN RIGHT AFTER ALL OF THESE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING IT, SO IT SEEMS LIKE THIS ONE IS DOING IT DOING IT. THIS ONE DOING IT. THIS IS ALL ABOUT. IT'S ALL TIED TO THE TO THE OTHER POLICIES. WHICH IS WHY IT SOUNDS POLITICAL . ALRIGHT, NOTIFICATION. I MEAN, IT IS NOTIFYING. SO YOU WOULD NEED TO NOTIFY. SO I LIKE THIS AND THEN I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO

[02:20:09]

SUZANNE JUST LISTED AT THE BOTTOM, LIFTING IT AT THE BOTTOM AS LEGAL REFERENCE SIGHTING IN THE POLICY WE HAVE AT THE BOTTOM, BUT LET'S LIST OTHER ENCODE THINGS FOR PEOPLE'S LEISURELY READING. IS THAT WHAT THIS IS? NO SHE'S THE SAME LIST ED CODE SECTION 49602 WITHOUT THE CEO DENIM. BUT. OUR POLICY SPECIFICALLY REFERS TO 49. SO WHY WOULD WE DO THAT? IT WAS JUST I THINK IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION. OKAY? AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE ALSO ANOTHER QUESTION TO ASK OUR ATTORNEY THAT IF WE SHOULD BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED BY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THERE IS NO LEGAL REFERENCES ON HERE. SO I'M JUST SAYING, LET'S ASK IF THEY THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AT THE BOTTOM . DID THAT COME UP WITH LEGAL AT ALL? NO THEY THEY VETTED THE POLICY AND I WAS ALSO TOLD WHEN WE MET THAT IF I BROUGHT LANGUAGE BACK THAT I WANTED TO INCLUDE THAT WAS RELATED TO THIS. I COULD DO THAT FOR THE SECOND READING. IF THERE WAS A SECOND READING, YOU COULD YOU COULD DO THAT WHENEVER IT'S NOT HAVING IT. NOW READING IS QUIETING THE VOICES OF BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING OUR STUDENT BORN MEMBER AND NOT GIVING PARENTS THE ABILITY TO INPUT GIVE INPUT. NOT OUR PRACTICE. ALSO THERE WAS A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION MADE BY OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER AND TWO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, SO THAT'S THREE. AND IT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AND SEE IF IT'S ADDED. HE HAS VOTING RIGHTS. YEAH. OKAY CAN I CAN I ASK JUST ONE MORE QUESTION. GO AHEAD. AGE 12 COME FROM STATE. THE STATE 12, YOU HAVE

[02:25:07]

DON'T WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT I DIDN'T WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL MOTION? I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO APPROVE TO APPROVE WAS TO APPROVE. OKAY AND WHO MADE THAT MOTION SO YOU CAN AMEND THAT MOTION. AND PROPOSED MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE. THEN WE JUST APPROVE IT TONIGHT, AND THERE IS NO SECOND RATING. THAT'S TRUE LANGUAGE WAS OKAY. A FIRST READING? YEAH WE DO 1ST AND 2ND READINGS. I MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE IT. I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT A FIRST READING. IT. UNFORTUNATELY IT SAYS, FIRST READING ON IT DIDN'T SAY IT, THOUGH. DOESN'T MATTER. IT SAYS IT ON THE BALL ON THIS, SO THIS AGENDA. OKAY THEN VICE PRESIDENT BLADES CAN AMEND HER MOTION. I'M GOING TO AMEND MY MOTION AND MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO AMEND, UM IT SO WE DO NOT HAVE A SECOND READING AND WE PROVED TONIGHT. OKAY OKAY. THERE A 2ND 2ND THAT, OKAY, I'M STILL CONFUSED WAS MY SUGGESTION STILL LIKE FACTORED INTO THE OPINIONS OF ANYONE ELSE? BECAUSE I HEARD I HEARD YOU HEARD, YOU KNOW, BUT YOU GUYS DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT IT AND I FEEL LIKE I AM THE ONE THAT'S MOST CLOSELY RELATED TO ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS. I FEEL LIKE MY OPINION DOESN'T MATTER. ACTUALLY YOU GUYS DON'T NEED TO APPROVE IT RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT , IF WE COULD, IF THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DIFFERENTIAL DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THIS POLICY AND OTHER POLICIES.

REGARDING LGBTQ PEOPLE. OKAY? WELL IF THIS POLICY WHICH THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN, IT'S WRITTEN FOR ALL STUDENTS. IT'S NOT ONE PARTICULAR GROUP. IT'S NOT ONE PARTICULAR SECTION. THIS IS FOR ALL STUDENTS AND THE WAY THE WAY THAT WAS WRITTEN, NOT ONLY WAS VERIFIED THROUGH, UM ARE LAWYERS BUT I THINK IT'S A VERY ENCOMPASSING AND, UH, KIND OF LIKE THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN PERSONALLY. AND YOU. YOU DO HAVE A STUDENT PREFERENCE VOTE. SO YOU GET TO VOTE. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THIS, YOU CAN VOTE NOW. I KNOW. AND I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SECOND READING IN ON THE TABLE. OKAY, SO READING OKAY, THAT'S GO AHEAD AND GO WITH THE IF IT'S THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE POLICY IS ABOUT STUDENT PROTECTION, AND THEN I AM A STUDENT AND WORRIED ABOUT THE PROTECTION OF OTHER STUDENTS. I FEEL LIKE THAT DOESN'T SO I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE IT A LITTLE BIT TWISTED ON THE PURPOSE IS ABOUT PARENT COMMUNICATION, NOT STUDENT PROTECTION. CORRECT RIGHT? BECAUSE THE NO. LISTEN BECAUSE THE PARENTS ARE WHERE THE PROTECTION SHOULD COME FROM. THAT'S WHY AND I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU'RE WRONG ON THE WAY THAT YOU'RE FEELING ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK THE SPIRIT OF WHAT THIS IS. IT'S ABOUT PARENT COMMUNICATION. AND THAT IS WHERE THE PROTECTION OF STUDENTS COME FROM. CORRECT. ALSO I WANT TO BE I WANT TO BE CLEAR. ARE WE ADDING THE LEGAL REFERENCE OR NOT? THE BOTTOM OF THE POLICY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLICY. THAT IS NOT PART OF NOT MOTION. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S NECESSARY BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION AND WHETHER IT DOESN'T SEEM TO YOU ALL. IT'S NECESSARY, BUT IT SEEMS TO US THAT IT'S NECESSARY, WHICH IS WHY WE WANT THE ATTORNEYS TO WEIGH IN ON IT AND BRINGING IT BACK FOR A SECOND READING. BUT NOT ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE HAD AND YOU'RE SHUTTING US DOWN AND YOU'RE CUTTING US OFF AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWING US TO COME BACK AND SPEAK ABOUT IT AS A SECOND READING BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. SO THAT'S INTERESTING. THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I HAVEN'T CUT YOU OFF

[02:30:01]

WE'RE JUST GOING TO WAVE THE SECOND READING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR CORRECT CURRENTLY. I NEED A VOTE FOR THE MOTION OF CANCELING. THIS BOOK IS A NO. I'M A NO. BECAUSE I REALLY WOULD LIKE LEGAL GUIDANCE ON THIS. MHM ALRIGHT, NO. YES. FREEZER? YES. AND BLADES? YES.

AND MYSELF. YES AS WELL. AND THEN YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS. OKAY SO NOW WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE POLICY. SO NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO 14.1. NOTIFICATION POLICY ITSELF. I'LL DO A ROLL VOTE. NO, WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T. WE DID A SECOND READING THAT WAS TO APPROVE AND WAVING THE SECOND READING. I THINK IT'S ALL IN ONE. IS IT? NOT ON THAT TOO? OKAY WE'LL ROLL CALL. SHE VOTED NO SO MISPLACED MOTION WAS TO WAVE THE SECOND READING AND APPROVED THE POLICY CORRECT THAT WAS APPROVED THREE TO PERFECT.

WITH ONE KNEE FROM THE STUDENT BOARD. WOW OKAY, THAT WAS INTERESTING. OKAY. WE WILL MOVE ON. JUST SO WE KNOW THAT NOTIFICATION POLICY HAS PASSED. WITH A 32 VOTE. MOVING ON TO 14.2. THIS IS JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. I STILL WANT THOSE LEGAL, UM, REFERENCES. I MEAN, NOT THE LEGAL REFERENCES. I WANT THE ILLEGAL OPINIONS AS REQUESTED. THAT SAYS THAT WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING WE HAVE TO KEEP MOVING ON. YOU CAN SEND ME YOUR CONCERNS AND WE WILL ADDRESS THEM. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO HERE WE ARE. 14.2. LET'S GET A I NEED A MOTION, PLEASE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR EXTENDED ABSENCES. SECOND SURE. TODD FRAZIER RIGHTS MISS YOUNG, WOULD YOU? GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR TURNESS AND EXECUTIVE CABINET. THIS EVENING.

[15. ACTION ITEMS - BUSINESS SERVICES]

[02:35:01]

[02:40:04]

AND TO PUT IT IN A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE SEQUA AND INSERTING TIMES FOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF. UM, IS ATYPICAL. I THINK SO. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. MARILYN AND I 100% AGREE BECAUSE THE OVERWHELMING FIELD FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS. YOU'VE TOLD US YOU'RE GOING TO DO THESE THINGS, AND YOU DON'T DO THESE THINGS. YOU TOLD US YOU'RE GONNA DO THESE THINGS AND YOU DON'T DO THESE THINGS, AND I HAVE SAID SEVERAL TIMES AND I THINK ALL OF US UP HERE HAVE SAID THAT WE WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS A DISTRICT TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO. UM HOWEVER I DON'T I AGREE WITH DR CHURN IS THAT WE DON'T NEED TO PUT THAT HERE. BUT I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING SET IN STONE FOR THE SCHEDULING AND HOW WE DO THAT. IT IS ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION. AND, UM I THINK I ECHO WHAT YOUR CONCERN IS. I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS THE PLACE FOR THAT. UM BUT THAT IS AGAIN. ONE OF THOSE THINGS LIKE THE SENIOR SUNRISE IS A PERFECT PERFECT EXAMPLE. IT'S A ONE TIME OF YEAR THING THAT THE SENIORS AT ALL CAMPUSES GET TO DO, AND THEY NOTIFY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UH, HOUSES. SO, UM I THINK I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE PLACE THAT WE DO THAT. WELL, THEN WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE? BECAUSE IF WE PA AS WRITTEN IT SHOWS BAND PRACTICE TILL NINE O'CLOCK. THAT'S A THAT'S AN EVALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, RIGHT? BUT JUST IN GENERAL IT DOESN'T LIST WHAT HAS TO BE DONE. IT'S SAYING IF YOU WERE TO DO THIS, THIS WOULD BE THE IMPACT. RIGHT THIS ALSO SAYS APPROVED FIELD LIGHTING PROJECTS. SO IT'S BEYOND JUST THE SEQUA AND THE SCHEDULE IS ATTACHED. AND WE DID REVISE IT. QUESTION REGARDING THE SCHEDULE ON SATURDAY. UM CURRENTLY, IT SAYS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY BAND PRACTICE AFTER FIVE O'CLOCK AND ON THE NEW ONE, THERE'S BAND PRACTICED UNTIL EIGHT O'CLOCK ON SATURDAYS.

THAT'S NOT SO WE'RE EXTENDING IT THREE HOURS ON SATURDAY. CAN YOU COMMENT ON THAT? I BELIEVE MRS BLACK THAT WE GOT A SECOND REVISED VERSION IS THAT POSTED BELIEVE IT WAS, UM, IT WAS IT WAS OUT FRONT. I GRABBED ONE WHEN I WALKED IN, SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL ITS AVAILABLE BUT WE UPDATED THAT, AND SO IT DOES SAVE TILL FIVE O'CLOCK ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THAT'S WHY THERE'S JUST SO MUCH CONFUSION ABOUT SCHEDULE AND I ASSUME THAT THAT WILL NOT CONTINUE. WE'LL WE'LL HAVE IT NAILED DOWN AND THIS WILL BE WHAT THE SCHEDULE THAT WE DECIDED TO SCHEDULE. WE DECIDE. RIGHT. RIGHT INITIALLY WE WERE GOING WITH THE WITH THE SEQUA. RECOMMENDATIONS LANGUAGE . THANK YOU. THAT SAID NINE O'CLOCK, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S ALSO THE PRACTICE OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE LET FIELDS THERE'S JUST OBVIOUSLY NOT SO CLOSE TO HOMES WERE PERFECTLY HAPPY TO DO MY BEST. EXCUSE ME FOR THE INTERRUPTION. NO YOU'RE FINE TO FOLLOW EXACTLY WHAT THE BOARD SUPERINTENDENT, UM TELL US TO DO IT WITH THE LIGHTS, AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS THAT ARE THERE NOW, IS THAT JUST ABOUT ANYBODY CAN WALK OVER AND PLUG THEM IN AND TURN THEM ON. JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT THESE NEW LIGHTS ONCE THEY'RE PUT IN THERE, NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT UNLESS THEY HAVE ACCESS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE SYSTEM. SO THERE THERE IS A KEY. IT'LL BE LOCKED UP, BUT IT'S ALSO AN ONLINE SYSTEM. AT LEAST IT IS AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS WHERE I'VE WORKED IF WE HAVE PRACTICE THAT GOES BEYOND DATA OR GAME OR SOMETHING THAT GOES ON BEYOND EIGHT O'CLOCK WHAT HAPPENS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND THAT IS THAT IS A POSSIBILITY IF WE START A SOCCER GAME AT SIX OVER TIME SOMETIMES CAN GO A LITTLE BIT. UNPREDICTABLY LONG, MAINLY WITH SOCCER, BUT OTHER SPORTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

AND SO THOSE ARE CASES WHERE WE'RE SAYING WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO A LITTLE BIT BEYOND 8 15, AND WE ALSO HAVE TO GET THE SPACE CLEARED OUT. WE CAN'T JUST OUT GAMES OVER. TURN THE LIGHTS OUT.

YEAH THERE'S A COUPLE 100. PEOPLE HERE THAT NEED TO BE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO STUMBLE IN THEIR CAR IN THE DARK. SO THERE WAS A STATEMENT MADE THAT THE SOCCER GAMES WERE HAPPENING THERE AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. BUT YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY CAN CURRENTLY BE PLUGGED IN, AND THEY HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF MANUALLY. SO WHY WOULD THE LIGHTS BE SHUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SOCCER GAME? UM, CURRENTLY WE DON'T USE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL GAMES. WE DON'T USE THE LIGHTS.

THERE WAS A GAME THAT STARTED LATE LAST YEAR. IT WAS IN. I THINK, DECEMBER MAYBE JANUARY, IT GOT DARK AROUND 5, 15 OR 5 20 . MAYBE WE WERE SCRAMBLING TO GET THE LIGHTS TURNED ON IT LIKE

[02:45:06]

AND IT'S CODIFIED IS CODIFIED AND IT'S LEGAL AND SOMEHOW, IT'S NOTED, BECAUSE I THINK JUST A I MEAN THE SCHEDULE JUST BEING ATTACHED. I DON'T THINK THAT IS NECESSARILY, UM. SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT TO LEGALLY DO IT? ADMINISTRATION OF THE STAFF IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I THINK YOU'RE JUST MIXING THINGS. I DON'T THINK THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MIXED. I THINK YOU WE DO.

WE DO NEED TO SHOW THE NEIGHBORS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO WHAT WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO. I JUST DON'T THINK THIS IS THE PLACE THAT YOU DO THAT IN THE RESULTS. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IS THE PLACE ITS ADMINISTRATIVE IF I'M NOT INCORRECT. I MEAN, THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER SIDE ITS ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION. IT'S UP TO THE PRINCIPAL TO ENFORCE THE RULES, AND IT'S UP TO THE STAFF TO SET THE RULES AND THE BEST WAY TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO. WHAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA DO IS BUY ACTION, OBVIOUSLY. WELL, HE JUST SAID THAT IT'S UP TO STAFF TO MAKE THE ROLES SO ADMINISTRATION TO MINISTER AND TO SET THE RULES . IT'S UP TO STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT JUST THE LIGHT SCHEDULE IS FOLLOWED. AND THEY SET THE LIGHT SCHEDULE, BUT THERE'S NO PARAMETERS LIKE SCHEDULES ATTACHED PARAMETERS ISSUE. NO NO, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE AT QUESTION IS, WILL THIS BE FOLLOWED? AND SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF WE PUT IT IN A RESOLUTION THAT IT ENSURES ITS FOLLOWED IS THAT RIGHT? I JUST WANT THE NEIGHBORS TO HAVE REASSURANCE. WE CAN SEND THE NEIGHBORS TO SCHEDULE. IF THAT IF THAT'S IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THEM TO BE ABLE TO, BECAUSE NEIGHBORS MOVE IN AND OUT. AND I JUST WANT THEM TO JUST TO BECOME CLEAR CHANGES AND STAFF CHANGES AND YOU KNOW, AND THINGS GET LOST. I THINK YOU SHOULD PUT THE LIGHT SCHEDULE ON YOUR WEBSITE. UM MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAVE YOUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, YOU KNOW, MEET WITH THE COACHES MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S CLEAR ON WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE AND MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW IT. YEAH AND WHAT ABOUT VARIANCES ARE DO WE WANT TO PUT VARIANCES EXEMPTIONS LIKE YOU KNOW IF GAMES GO LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED , WE'RE MIXING LIKE THIS IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION. WELL IT IS A BIG DEAL. IT IS A BIG DEAL FOR 30 MINUTES BECAUSE YOUR GAME WENT INTO OVERTIME. I MEAN, THAT'S LIKE, FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. IF IT WAS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, THEN THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE. BUT IF YOU HAVE A GAME THAT GOES IN THIRD OR SCHEDULING ISSUE EXACTLY, THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL TO THESE NEIGHBORS.

ABSOLUTELY. UNDERSTAND THAT WE MYSELF TAUGHT AND CARRION. WE WENT TO THE LAST ONE WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORS AND WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY UM, WHAT THEIR ISSUES ARE AND SO THIS SCHEDULE I'VE NEVER SEEN A SCHEDULE BEFORE UNTIL WE DID THIS LIGHTING PROJECT AND I'VE NEVER, YOU KNOW, HEARD ANY TYPE OF, UM, I'VE NEVER EVEN, UM, HEARD ANYBODY TALK ABOUT FOLLOWING A SCHEDULE UNTIL WE ACTUALLY DID THE SLIDING PROJECT. AND SO I THINK THAT IF A PIECE OF PAPER IS A PIECE OF PAPER, AND SO WE CAN JUST, YOU KNOW WE CAN PASS. THIS RESOLUTION WITH THIS PIECE OF PAPER ATTACHED, OR YOU COULD PASS IT WITHOUT IT. IT'S JUST IS OUR STAFF GOING TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND I AM CONFIDENT WITH THIS STAFF THAT WE WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. AND I THINK THAT IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO PASS THIS TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS SCHEDULING ISSUE THAT THEN YOU'RE SAYING YOU MISTRUST OUR STAFF TO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH. THIS IS MORE ABOUT LEGACY. I

[02:50:01]

YEAH YEAH. YOU KNOW, AND SO IT'S ABOUT PUTTING POLICY. THIS IS A POLICY AND IT'S ABOUT PUTTING POLICIES IN PLACE. TO MAKE SURE THAT NEXT PRINCIPLE THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLE, THE NEIGHBORS ARE REASSURED. IT'S ABOUT. IT'S JUST ABOUT PROTECTION. AND I THINK THE PROTECTION IS HERE. AND SO THIS IS ABOUT IF THIS IS LEGACY, THEN WE HAVE MR DAVIS. PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH ON THIS. AND THEN WHEN YOUR NEXT PRINCIPLE COMES IN, PLEASE TELL THEM PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE LIGHTS. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND WE ALSO HAVE STAFF AND WE ALSO HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT TO ALSO CARRY ON THE LEGACY OF FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH WHAT WE SAY. OKAY HOW, UM WE WHEN WE MET WITH THE COMMUNITY, WE TALKED ABOUT ANY MITIGATING IDEAS THAT THEY MAY HAVE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING TO MITIGATE THIS FOR THE RESIDENTS, OR IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL THAT WE'RE DOING OUTSIDE OF OUTSIDE OF JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE SCHEDULE IS FOLLOWED. THINK IN THE PROCESS. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF A LOT OF CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON FEEDBACK. NOT SINCE THE SECOND ITERATION OF THE LIGHTING. IT'S THE SAME AS THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY HEARD. BUT NOW THE THING THAT CAME UP OUT OF THAT CONVERSATION WAS KEEPING TO A SCHEDULE. AND WE HAD THE SCHEDULE PRIOR TO THAT. BUT WE HAD DIFFERENT. I MEAN, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SET UP LIKE THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. AND NOW WE'RE HERE, SAYING WE NEED TO HAVE A SCHEDULE THAT'S IN PLACE. THERE WAS A SCHEDULE IN PLACE BEFORE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE LIGHTS, ANYTHING. ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE TO MITIGATE THIS HAVE WE ARE WE ARE WE GIVING TREES OR REPLANTING TREES ? ARE WE GIVING? UM, ANY FILM FOR? I MEAN, WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THAT MEETING. SO WHERE ARE WE WITH? THAT? IS ANY OF THAT BIN DISCUSSED AFTER THAT MEETING. SO AFTER THAT MEETING, WHAT WE TAKE AWAY FROM THE MEETING WAS NOBODY BROUGHT UP ANY OF THOSE IDEAS THAT WANTED FOLLOW THROUGH WITH TREES OR WHATEVER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO AT THIS POINT, NO, THE MITIGATING MEASURE WAS WHICH WE BROUGHT FORTH WAS THE INCREASED LIGHTING THAT WOULD REDUCE THE SPILL. IF YOU RECALL THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG ITEMS AND THEN THE NOISE WHICH WE CAN'T WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE NOISE. SO ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD REGARDING NOISE, SO WE HAVE ANOTHER SOCCER TEAM THAT'S GOING TO BE PLAYING THERE. THERE WAS COMMENTS ABOUT THEM USING THE BACK WALL WHERE ALL THE DEFENSE THERE THAT IS THE NEIGHBOR'S FENCE. UM, KICKING BALLS AGAINST THAT. WHERE ARE OUR IS? WHAT ABOUT THE NEW SOCCER TEAMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING THERE? AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO FACTOR IN SO I AM THE STRIKERS ARE ARE NOT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL GROUP, REGARDLESS OF THAT, THEIR COACH IS OR THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S THERE, COACH TECHNICALLY, BUT HE'S THE DIRECTOR. LET'S CALL HIM. HE'S ALSO OUR BOYS ARE CITY COACH, SO I MET WITH HIM AND MY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND SAID, VERY CLEARLY WE NEED TO STAY ON OUR SIDE OF THE FENCE THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE KICKING THE BALL INTO THE NEIGHBORS. UH WALL OR BACKYARDS, EITHER.

OBVIOUSLY SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS ON ACCIDENT FROM THE FIELD. BUT I MEAN, LIKE, INTENTIONALLY RIGHT AS A PRACTICE BACK WALL, RIGHT? THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT WALL WAS BUILT FOR IT SO THEY NEED TO USE ALL THE PLAYERS. THEY HAVE TO KICK THE BALL BACK AND FORTH TO EACH OTHER AND NOT A WALL.

DID WE LOOK AT SOME? THERE WAS ONE FAMILY THAT MENTIONED THAT THE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THAT, UM THE WALL HAD HAD MOVED SLIGHTLY, UM, IS NOT PERPENDICULAR ANYMORE . IS THAT THE CASE? I DID NOT LOOK INTO THAT, BUT I'M GLAD TO IF THAT HELPS. YEAH, RIGHT. IF THERE'S NO MORE QUESTIONS WE HAVE EMOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. READY YOU WERE READY. I REALLY WANT TO APPROVE THESE LIGHTS. I WANT TO VOTE YES, ON THEM, BUT I'M GOING TO VOTE. NO. AND THE REASON WHY IS I WANT TO ASSURE OUR NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE GOING TO SAY. WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AND DO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SAY. AND THAT'S ANYTHING UNLESS WE PROVE IT THEN. IF WE DON'T APPROVE IT, THEN WE THAT'S WHY I WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH. THAT'S WHY I ASKED, JUST LIKE TABLE IT, POSSIBLY UNTIL WE CAN HEAR BACK WHAT OUR ATTORNEYS THINK WOULD BE THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO PUT THOSE INSURANCES IN. AND UM, FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, YEAH, FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, SO YOU WANT TO MAKE POLICY ON THE LIGHTS BECAUSE WE ARE THE BOARD AND WE SET POLICY AND I JUST, YOU KNOW, I WANNA BEFORE I APPROVE ANYTHING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CAN I JUST JUMP IN FOR A SECOND? THIS RESOLUTION DOES

[02:55:02]

[03:15:04]

YOU'RE NOT APPROVING THE EXPENDITURE. SO THAT THE LEARNING RECOVERY WE'RE GOING TO. WE'RE GOING TO SHOW WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE WHOLE PLAN, RIGHT? BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE BOARD, UM, CONTRARY TO LIKE THE MUSIC BLOCK GRANT, WHERE THE BOARD HAS TO UM, ACTUALLY APPROVED THE EXPENDITURES. THIS IS MORE OF A PRESENTATION FOR HOW THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED HOLDING THIS. I WOULD NOT ADVISE BECAUSE THIS IS MONEY THAT'S GOING TO BE SPENT ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ULTIMATELY HELP STUDENTS. SO IF WE HOLD IT, THEN THAT PROCESS IS DELAYED. AND SO THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING IT NOW. IT'S PURPOSEFUL , SO WE CAN HELP KIDS NOW BY TRAINING OUR STAFF. SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO, UM TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE PLAN JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ALL TEACHERS ARE GETTING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. IN MEANINGFUL WAYS, AND THAT WE'RE JUST NOT, UM. WE'RE BEING EQUITABLE, I GUESS IS THE RIGHT WORD THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

FOR ALL PROFESSIONALS FOR ALL OF OUR TEACHERS. SO THAT'S WHY I JUST IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHAT THE WHOLE PLAN LOOKS LIKE, AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT LIKE A PIECE OF PIE HERE AND A PIECE OF PIE HERE. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE WHOLE PLAN LOOKS LIKE. AND IT'S PROBABLY GREAT. AND YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. I READ HER PROPOSAL AND YOU KNOW, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING EQUITABLE CLEAR ACROSS THE OF THE DISTRICT AND THAT WE'RE NOT JUMPING AHEAD OF SOMETHING AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, UH, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. I THINK WHAT WAS EXPLAINED BY DR YOUNG WAS THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHE PUT IN FOR THE REQUEST FOR, AND SO THAT'S WHY I WAS APPROVED AT A SEPARATE TIME FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD HOLD THESE THAT. I MEAN, WE'RE BASICALLY HOLDING PAY FOR TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, TO BETTER THEIR SITE AND TO BETTER CHILDREN. SO I WOULD VOTE NO ON HOLDING THAT. CAN I ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. SO PLC'S HAPPEN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR WHATEVER DAY THAT IS. ALL SCHOOLS GET THAT AND ALL TEACHERS ARE PAID FOR THAT PLC TIME. THAT IS DURING THEIR THAT IS DURING THEIR WORK DAY. SO THEY DO NOT GET PAID EXTRA FOR PARTICIPATING IN PLC S BUT THEY GET. ADDITIONAL PAY FOR GOING TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORRECT OUTSIDE OF THE WORKDAY, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PD PLAN IS FOR BERNARDO YORBA. SO IT'S A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF THE WORK. GREAT USE OF MONEY IT'S TEACHERS WILLING TO WORK.

OUTSIDE OF THEIR WORK DAY TO GET BETTER AT THEIR CRAFT TO HELP KIDS AND OTHER TEACHERS AT OTHER SCHOOLS ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE A LOT OF EVERY SCHOOL IS DIFFERENT, ANY ANY PRINCIPLE THAT WANTS TO PUT TOGETHER A PROPOSAL THEY YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AFTER SCHOOL INTERVENTIONS. THEY'RE CRAFTING THAT LOOK DIFFERENT AT ALL SITES WHERE WE'RE PAYING TEACHERS AFTER SCHOOL. AH SO THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD THAT, UM, THAT I SUPPORT AND IT'S BROUGHT FORWARD FOR YOUR APPROVAL. WOULDN'T IT BE ALSO SOMETHING TO NOTE THAT ALL OF OUR SCHOOL SITES ARE ALL DIFFERENT, AND THE NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT, SO TO SEE DIFFERENT NEEDS AND TO SEE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAINING COME ACROSS, INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE UNIFORM THING THAT THAT IS, ACTUALLY WHAT'S GOOD FOR KIDS. YES ABSOLUTELY ARE SITES HAVE THE DISCRETION TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THEIR SITES? WE AS A DEPARTMENT PROVIDE THE ENDORSING BEDDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE BELIEVE ALL TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PART IN, BUT SITES DO HAVE THE DISCRETION TO OFFER ADDITIONAL PD TO SUIT THEIR SITES AND STUDENTS NEEDS. AND THEN HOW DO THOSE, UM, PRINCIPLES PAY FOR THAT OUT OF THEIR SIGHT FUNDS THAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR DO THEY COME BACK AND ASK FOR A IN THIS CASE, IT'S OUT OF THE LEARNING RECOVERY GRANT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL PRINCIPLES WERE OFFERED THIS AGAIN. THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT.

SOME SITES WOULD USE TITLE ONE POTENTIALLY MONEY CATEGORICAL FUNDS. IN THIS CASE, THIS SITE IS, UM IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. SO THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION. WHERE OTHER SITES THAT DON'T HAVE TITLE ONE FUNDS OFFERED OFFERED THIS OPPORTUNITY. TO APPLY TO PUT TOGETHER A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT. I THINK THAT WAS ANSWERED. SO ESSENTIALLY YOUNG. IS THAT DR YOUNG SORRY, IS THAT TRUE? THAT THEY WERE ALL. SCHOOL SITES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WERE CLEAR THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING. EVERY SITES DIFFERENT. THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS CAME FORWARD. WE DID NOT UM, TRY TO REPLICATE THIS AT EVERY SITE, BUT EVERY SITE DOES HAVE DIFFERENT AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

[03:20:03]

OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT THE VOTE TO APPROVE THIS VOTE IS TO APPROVE 21.5. I'M SORRY THAT WOULD BE AMENDMENT. SHE SHE MADE THE MOTION. WITH WITHOUT SO YOU WANT TO APPROVE IT WITHOUT PAGE FIVE THAT. ONE SO YOU WANT TO PROVE IT WITHOUT FUNDS TO BERNARDO YORBA TEACHERS. OKAY? UNTIL WE CAN LOOK AT THE WHOLE EMERGENCY. ATTORNEY SUBSTITUTE MOTION DO IT TO SUBSTITUTE WE DON'T MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION INTO THE EMOTIONAL SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO APPROVE. AH 21.5, AS IS 21 POINT, 22ND. IF YOU HAVE 11 MOTION WOULD HAVE TO. I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE US HAVE TO AMEND IT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO AMEND IT. SO UM, BOARD MEMBER UH HUH. ANDERSON, I BELIEVE HAS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM. ABSENT THE FUNDING FOR BERNARDO SO THAT WOULD NEED A SECOND AND A VOTE. CORRECT SECOND, HE SAID , WOULD NEED A VOTE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM WITHOUT FUNDING FOR BERNARDA CORRECT. AND IF WE IF WE SUBSTITUTE MOTION AFTER WE DO THAT VOTE, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ADDITIONAL MOTION. OKAY I WITHDRAW MY SUBSTITUTE MOTION, OKAY? OKAY SO THE MOTION AS IT STANDS NOW, 21.5 ALL IN FAVOR. I SO THERE'S ONE I NO, NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. ALL RIGHT, AND I KNOW FOR ME AS WELL. OKAY. IS THIS WHERE THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION COMES IN? I THINK YOU JUST MAKE ANOTHER MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE 21.5 HOURS IS SECOND. CASE WOULD MAKE MY HAND CRAMPS. USE YOUR COMPUTER. OKAY SO 21.5, AS IS MOTION STANDS. UM ALL IN FAVOR. AYE, AYE. I ALRIGHT? MOTION CARRIES 50. THAT WAS LIKE PULLING CHEAP. YEAH. UM THAT WAS IT. OKAY. NEXT BRINGS US TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. DR

[03:35:01]

THANK YOU. OKAY. AH! I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND A SPECIAL MEETING. PUT ON BY THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION ON SEPTEMBER 20TH. WHICH INCLUDED SEVERAL TOPICS, AND HERE'S SOME OF THE ONES I THOUGHT WOULD BE PRETTY BENEFICIAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE FIRST PRESENTER WAS AN FBI SPECIAL AGENT, TORY TORRES IN REGARDS TO CHILD EXPLOITATION. NOT ONLY NOT ONLY DID SHE GIVE SOME STAGGERING STATISTICS OF HOW CHILDREN GET ENTICED ONLINE , BUT SHE GAVE SOME WATCH OUT SIGNS FOR PARENTS, INCLUDING STEPS TO HELP THE DETER THIS TYPE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. AH USED IN A WORLD THAT MAY EITHER EXTORT MONEY FROM YOUR CHILD OR SEX. UM I SUGGEST EVERY PARENT WATCHED HER PRESENTATION JUST TO INVESTIGATE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE FOR IT WAS IT WAS TRULY INCREDIBLE. UM THE ORANGE. ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S ALSO HAD A PRIEST PRESENTATION. AND THEY PROVIDED A BUNCH OF INFORMATION ON THE MASSIVE BATTLE AGAINST FENTANYL, AND WE ALL KNOW IT. WE KEEP HEARING IT, BUT THE MORE INFORMATION OUT THERE, THE BETTER FOR US PARENTS TO HELP WITH THIS. UM IT'S ALSO BEING GIVEN TO KIDS IN, UM LIKE KNOCK OFF DRUGS, EVERYTHING FROM XANAX TO YOU KNOW, UH TO ANY TYPE OF RITALIN OR WHATNOT. UM AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE COUNTERMEASURES THAT NEED TO BE IN PLACE IN ORDER TO REVERSE THE EFFECTS. AND UM AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, I REALLY HAVE TO TAKE MY HEAD OFF TO RICHARD MCLINDEN, AND HE IS WORKING TO GET ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS OUTFITTED WITH THE NARCAN AND. JUST GET TRAINING DONE, AND IT'S A IT'S AN AWESOME DEAL. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THERE WAS ANOTHER PRESENTATION FROM A SECURITY FIRM ON CYBERSECURITY IN WHICH TO ME WAS FASCINATING BECAUSE THEY DID A COMPARISON BETWEEN FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES VERSUS SCHOOL DISTRICT CYBERSECURITY. AND IT WAS ALARMING THE AMOUNT OF I T DIRECTORS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE AN AMAZING I T DIRECTOR THERE. UM THEY HAD, LIKE 20 TO 30 IN ORDER TO STOP A LOT OF CYBER THEFT AND SO FORTH, UM, SCHOOL DISTRICTS PALED IN THE COMPARISON AND IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WHICH I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO DO A LITTLE MORE INVESTIGATION ON BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT, UM, CRUCIAL TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS, THE DISTRICT STUDENTS IDENTITIES AS WELL AS ANY OF THEIR INFORMATION. BUT ALSO ALL THE SCHOOL INFORMATION DISTRICT INFORMATION THAT WE USE. THEY GO BACK AND FORTH TO, YOU KNOW, THIRD PARTY AND WHAT? WHAT NOT SO I HOPE WE CAN DO A LITTLE MORE INVESTIGATION ON CYBERSECURITY. UM. THERE WAS AN EYE OPENING PRESENTATION FROM MS BRENDA LEP SACK WITH CRUCIAL INFORMATION ON BOOKS AND MATERIAL THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO KIDS, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL BEING. THESE BOOKS AND MATERIALS ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES AROUND OUR NATION. THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS A VIDEO ONLINE OF THIS SPECIAL MEETING FOR YOU GUYS. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, IT IS NOVEMBER 20TH 2023, AND I ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND GATHER. I'M SORRY. DID I SAY IT WAS A NOVEMBER? NOVEMBER I SEPTEMBER. THERE WE GO, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IN I KNOW I'M A MONTH AHEAD. OKAY? SO, UM THAT CONCLUDES MY BOARD REPORT.

[03:40:06]
