THE FUNNIEST PART OF MEETINGS POLICY REVIEW. SO WE'LL START WITH 1320 SUSPENSION OF A POLICY.
SO WE EDITED THAT AND THEN HAVE A NEW POLICY FOR JUST RETIRING A POLICY 1321.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? AND THESE ARE FIRST READING, EXCEPT FOR ONE OF THEM IS SECOND READING.
THIS IS JUST REVIEW AND SO WE DID DO FIRST READING BEFORE DOING REVIEW BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT ONE TIME POSITION FOR US YEAH. BUT DO WE NEED TO APPROVE IT TONIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? WE CAN STILL DO IT AT OUR NEXT MEETING. OKAY.
REALLY ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE FIRST TWO? 1320 OR 1321? THERE'S NO CHANGES FROM WHAT WAS AHEAD FOR THOSE, RIGHT? SO I THINK IT'S JUST AN UPDATE. SO OKAY. YEAH.
OKAY. 1732. BOARD MEMBER INSURANCE. MINOR REVISIONS TO ALIGN WITH RCW 28A.400.360. ANY QUESTIONS? CLARIFICATION. WE'RE ZIPPING THROUGH.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A PEN. YEAH. I KNOW. YEAH, THAT'S ANOTHER EASY ONE.
LET'S SEE 2022. ELECTRONIC RESOURCES AND INTERNET SAFETY.
THE ADDITION OF AN AI REFERENCE IN THE POLICY TO ALIGN WITH THE HOUSE BILL 1170.
QUESTIONS. 2100 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WITH A PARENT IN THE MILITARY.

SECTION REMOVED TO AVOID REDUNDANCY WITH 2410 POLICY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
2230 TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM UPDATED TO COMPLY WITH ESSB 2062 60 REVISED RCW 28A.300.072, WHICH LIMITS STATE FUNDED ENROLLMENT IN TK PROGRAMS, REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO PRIORITIZE ENROLLMENT AS DIRECTED. AUTHORIZES DISTRICTS TO CHANGE SLIDING SCALE TUITION FEES FOR NON ELIGIBLE CHILDREN AND MANDATE SPECIFIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAMS. NOTHING. I DIDN'T READ THIS ONE. BUT JOHN, DOES THIS OPEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE TRANSITION.
IF. IF PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY OR WHAT DOES IT MEAN? THIS IS IT'S STILL. WE'RE STILL CAPPED. OKAY.
STILL CAPPED. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH THERE'S REALLY JUST ONE PARAGRAPH THAT CHANGED.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE THAT? NO, NO, NO. OKAY. NEXT POLICY 3120.
ENROLLMENT. UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH ESHB 2534, WHICH AMENDED RCW 28A.225.216.
ACTUALLY, THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT ONE. WHICH ONE? NO, I ALREADY READ THAT ONE. PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE REMOVED FROM POLICY TO REMOVE UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION WITH MAINTAINED DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN IN-PERSON AND ONLINE REQUIREMENTS.
[00:05:05]
IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE? 3122.3120 IS THE SAME. IT DOES SAY CHANGES SOMETHING TO CHILDREN NO, THEY'RE TIED TOGETHER. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? 3122 EXCUSED AND UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE REMOVED FROM THE POLICY TO REMOVE DUPLICATION MAINTAIN DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN IN-PERSON AND ONLINE REQUIREMENTS.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE ON THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T LOOK AT IT. IS THERE A BIG CHANGE TO THE PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, JOHN, THAT WILL IMPACT? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT MORE. IT SPELLS OUT A LOT MORE ABOUT EXCUSED AND UNEXCUSED, SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE. I MEAN, I KNOW IT ALIGNS WITH.
I JUST HAD QUESTIONS ON WHAT THE IMPACT MIGHT BE ON.
ACCORDING TO THE STAFF WHO REVIEWED IT, NO. OKAY.
AND THEY WERE GOOD WITH IT IS THAT LIKE A PAGE IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOK THAT THEY SIGN IN RETURN AT ALL LEVELS? A COPY OF THAT IN THE NOTE IF YOU GO TO THE NOTES, ALEX PUT IT IN THERE.
IT SAYS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. AND IF YOU CLICK ON THAT DOCUMENT.
OKAY. IT IS THE LETTER. AND AT THE BOTTOM THERE'S A SIGNATURE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY TRACK THAT. EVERYONE TURN IT BACK IN, BUT.
YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING THAT TOO.
YEAH. LIKE, DO THEY ACTUALLY TO SIGN RIGHT HERE SO. OKAY. CAN WE FIND THAT OUT? I MEAN, IS IT A REQUIREMENT THAT WE THAT THEY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT, OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING THAT WE WANT? AND IF WE'RE NOT DOING IT, WE SHOULD TAKE IT OUT. WELL, IT WE SHOULD DO IT. IT'S IN THE.
OKAY. YEP. ALL RIGHT. JUST TO CLARIFY FOR SECONDARY. YEAH. IT'S A FORM THAT WE ADDED IN AS PART OF THE.
OH. IT WAS PART OF THE BOUNDARY STUDENTS REQUIREMENT AS WELL.
IT'S A PROCESS THAT WAS KICKED OFF AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT GOTCHA. OH, YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. SO EVERYBODY GETS IT ELECTRONICALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY YEAR? OKAY.
GOT IT. OKAY. SO. 3246. RESTRAINT AND ISOLATION.
UPDATES. SORRY. MY COMPUTER'S WIGGING OUT UPDATES TO ALIGN WITH HOUSE BILL 1795, WHICH AMENDED RCW 28A.600.485, SUBSTANTIALLY PROHIBITS THE USE OF RESTRAINTS AND EXPANDS INCIDENT REPORTING, ANNUAL DATA ANALYSIS, GOVERNING BOARD OVERSIGHT AND OSP REPORTING.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY SINGLE YEAR THERE'S AN UPDATE TO THAT POLICY.
YEAH, THIS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY ELIMINATES RESTRAINT WELL, EXCEPT FOR LIKE, IF THE. IF A STUDENT IS GOING TO HARM HIMSELF OR SOMEBODY ELSE OR STAFF YEAH.
WHICH THEY CAN LIMITING IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IN SCHOOLS. 4300P THE PROCEDURE WAS RETIRED.
DEFINITIONS FOUND IN PROCEDURE ARE ADDED TO THE POLICY.
ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. 5280. SEPARATION FROM EMPLOYMENT.
WHICH IS WEIRD THAT WHY. WE COULDN'T DO THAT BEFORE? IT WASN'T A POLICY 5406. LEAVE SHARING. UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH HOUSE BILL 2411 TO ESTABLISH CLARITY REGARDING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA.
QUESTIONS? HOLIDAYS. 5410. CLARIFICATION REGARDING ALLOWABLE HOLIDAY PAY.
SO OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING IS BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS? YES YEAH. SO THAT COUNTS. OKAY. 62. WAIT.
YEAH. SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT I WANTED TO TALK TOO.
SORRY. SO I GUESS, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST. IF I PUT MYSELF IN THE SHOES OF SOMEONE WORKING FOR THE DISTRICT, IT SEEMS VAGUE, RIGHT? IT SEEMS VAGUE ABOUT WHAT IS.
IT SAYS EMPLOYEES MUST HAVE WORKED THE SCHEDULED DAY BEFORE UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE EMPLOYER.
[00:10:07]
IS THAT EXCUSED OR NOT? AND HOW IS IT EXCUSED? OR IF. MAYBE IS THAT IN THE PROCEDURE? WELL, THE POLICY SHOULD BE CLEAR ENOUGH THAT I GUESS I'M JUST MY QUESTION IS, IS I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE TAKE OFF JUST BEFORE A HOLIDAY OR EXTEND AFTERWARDS, LAST SECOND. BUT IF I WERE LOOKING AT THIS POLICY, EMPLOYEES MUST HAVE WORKED THE SCHEDULED DAY BEFORE OR THE NEXT DAY AFTER UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE EMPLOYER, UNLESS EXCUSED IS VERY SUBJECTIVE, UNLESS IT REFERS TO PROCEDURE AND SAYS WHAT IS EXCUSED.I KNOW THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH CEA SPELLS OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE OUT ON VACATION BEFORE OR AFTER A HOLIDAY, BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HOW IS THIS. THIS IS APPLIED TO EVERYONE OUTSIDE OF BARGAINING, RIGHT? DOCTOR ANZALONE. BUT I GUESS I'M JUST WONDERING, UNLESS EXCUSE SEEMS VERY SUBJECTIVE, WHERE SOMEONE COULD COME FORWARD AND SAY I WASN'T APPROVED, BUT I SUBMITTED IT TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE, BUT SOMEONE ELSE'S WAS AND THEY DID IT A WEEK BEFORE, SO.
SO YEAH, PER MATTHEW'S INQUIRY, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THIS AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO LOOK FOR.
DID I SEND YOU THE EMAIL FROM AMY AND WHAT WAS HER RESPONSE? I'M STILL LOOKING THAT UP. I JUST I KNOW THERE WAS SOME JUSTIFICATION ON HER PART ON THAT.
I JUST WANT TO LOOK AT IT. I CAN.
SO WHATEVER PROTECTED. SO THOSE ARE PART OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNPROTECTED LEAVES, WHICH WOULD BE LIKE AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE FROM WORK OR PERSONAL A PERSON. WHAT ABOUT A PERSONAL DAY? IS THAT PROTECTED? THAT IS NOT PROTECTED LEAVE BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE GONE RIGHT. SO IF YOU'RE SICK, THEN IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU AND THEN WHEN YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS I THINK YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT IT.
WE CAN'T ASK FOR A NOTE FOR ONE JUST ONE DAY OUT.
RIGHT. RIGHT? I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CHANGE IS FOR, BUT I, IF I WERE LOOKING AT IT OBJECTIVELY FROM THE OUTSIDE, IT SEEMS VERY SUBJECTIVE IN THE POLICY BECAUSE WORKED IN IS JUST THE WORD MAKES ME FEEL LIKE, OH, THAT'S A WORK TODAY UNLESS IT'S EXCUSED. BUT THE CLARIFICATION OF WHAT'S NOT EXCUSED.
SO I JUST HAD ISSUE THAT IT FELT VERY VAGUE THAT WE'RE IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT POLICY THAT'S CLEAR, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S CLEAR IN MY OPINION. BUT AGAIN, I DEFER TO.
I HAD. I HAD SUBMITTED SOME TO JOHN AND AMY JUST TO CONSIDER.
RIGHT NOW IT JUST SAYS APPROVED BY. WHO APPROVES LEAVE? IT'S.
IT'S NOT BEING FAIRLY APPLIED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LOSING OUT ON HOLIDAY PAY.
SO I JUST, I KNOW IN MY WORK WE DON'T HAVE ANY WORDING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
SO WHEN I LOOKED AT ABOUT 20 DISTRICTS AROUND US, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS OTHER THAN HAVE THE STANDARD WASDA POLICY. SO JUST I HAVE CONCERN WHEN WE ADJUST POLICY, IF WE SAY, HAVE OTHER DISTRICTS DONE THIS FOR THE SAME REASON, IF WE SAY NO, WELL THEN JUST SEEKING MORE BUT.
I FOUND AMY'S RESPONSE. AND SHE SAID, WE, WE DO NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE DISCRETION OUTSIDE OF PROTECTIVE LEAVE THAT THE DISTRICT WOULD REASONABLY APPROVE IN ADVANCE. A FEW EXAMPLES COULD INCLUDE WEDDINGS, SIGNIFICANT FAMILY EVENTS, RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS, AND TO DEREK'S POINT, THE NUMBER OF STAFF IN THAT BUILDING REQUESTING THE TIME OFF OR ANOTHER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE.
THE SAME DISCRETION IS WHAT WE USE WHEN APPROVING UNPAID LEAVE.
THE ADVANCE NOTICE ALLOWS FOR DOCUMENTED AND CONSISTENT PRACTICE.
TYPICALLY WE'LL GO TO THE PRINCIPAL BECAUSE THEY'LL ASK ME FOR APPROVAL AND I'LL GO TO THE PRINCIPAL AND SAY, DO YOU HAVE, DO YOU HAVE COVERAGE? IF WE ALLOW THIS? AND TYPICALLY THEY'LL SAY, YEAH, WE ALREADY HAVE THAT COVERED. SO THAT WAS HER CONCERN IS JUST PROVIDING SOME OF THAT AUTONOMY.
SO IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT ADDING SOME LANGUAGE THERE MORE SPECIFIC, SHE'S DEFINITELY OPEN TO THAT.
[00:15:06]
WHAT IF WE INSTEAD OF SAY, UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE EMPLOYER, SAY BECAUSE THEN IT'S CLEAR WHO'S EXCUSING IT. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, RIGHT? YEAH. KIND OF. I GUESS THE OTHER PART THOUGH, IS, AS I LOOKED, I COULD NOT FIND A SINGLE DISTRICT IN OUR STATE THAT HAS ADJUSTED THIS POLICY WITH THIS TYPE OF LANGUAGE. SO EITHER WE'RE UNIQUE AS A DISTRICT THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE, OR THERE MAY BE AN ALTERNATE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.BUT I'M VERY RELUCTANT TO CHANGE POLICY. AND WE'RE LIKE EVERY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT HASN'T.
DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED THE LANGUAGE.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE THAT WE NEED THIS AND OTHERS HAVEN'T? AND IT WAS AMY WANTING THESE CHANGES? AMY AND ALEX.
IT WAS. IT'S AN HR CONCERN, OBVIOUSLY AS PEOPLE.
PEOPLE POTENTIALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE THREE-DAY WEEKENDS OR FOUR DAY WEEKENDS.
I'M SURE IT'S AN ISSUE ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT.
THEY JUST HAVEN'T PUT IT IN POLICY YET. SO WE'RE JUST.
THEY'RE VERY HAPPY TO DISCUSS. YEAH. MY ONLY CONCERN IS, AS I READ IT.
I SAY WHY CAN'T I TAKE IT OFF? THE POLICY DOESN'T DIFFERENTIATE.
IT JUST SAYS. IT JUST SAYS UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE EMPLOYER.
EVERYTHING OPENS UP LIABILITY. AND YOU SAY, WELL, THE SUPERVISOR SAID YES TO ONE PERSON, NOT TO ANOTHER. THERE'S NOT A CLEAR GUIDELINE. AND I APPRECIATE THE THE LIST OF, YOU KNOW, A FEW EXAMPLES COULD INCLUDE.
IS IT. IS A, YOU KNOW, A QUINCEANERA APPLY, BUT A WEDDING DOESN'T? LIKE YOU REALLY NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC IN MY OPINION, ESPECIALLY SINCE AGAIN, I COULD NOT FIND A SINGLE DISTRICT IN OUR STATE THAT HAS CHANGED THIS POLICY.
WITH THIS WORDING, I'D FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IF THERE WAS SOME LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE OR VERY SPECIFIC INSTEAD OF SUBJECTIVE, BUT THAT WAS JUST MY CONCERNS. I DON'T WANT TO PUT US IN A POSITION WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO DEFEND A POLICY THAT WE CAN'T EVEN REALLY SEE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S COVERED OR WHAT THE DECISION PROCESS IS.
BUT I'M OPEN TO. AND WE WANT THIS ON AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
SO WHAT IF IT'S NOT PASSED NEXT BOARD MEETING.
DOES IT MATTER IF IT STARTS IN SEPTEMBER INSTEAD OF? IS THERE? I'M JUST ASKING. BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE.
DOES THAT? DOES THAT? I THINK WHAT HER HOPE WAS, IS THAT WE STARTED THIS TO LAY IT OUT. I THINK SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT HER CONCERN IS YEAH RIGHT? RIGHT. EXCEPT THAT YES I'M JUST. SO IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO. MAYBE A LITTLE MORE.
AND THEN I'D BE. I'D BE CURIOUS IF THERE'S IN THE PROCEDURE, IF THERE'S THAT LAID OUT HOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT. TO GUIDE THE SUPERVISOR MAKING THOSE.
BECAUSE IT IS SUBJECTIVE BECAUSE MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I ASKED, THERE WERE FOUR PEOPLE OUT WHEN YOU ASKED, THERE WAS NOBODY OUT. AND SO YOU GOT A YES. I GOT A NO.
YOU KNOW, SO IT IS GOING TO BE THERE IS SOME SUBJECTIVITY TO THAT.
I'D RATHER MAKE AN APPROPRIATE. AND I DON'T SEE WHY SINCE WE'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT IS FULLY ENFORCED LIKE CBA, THEN IF WE DO IT IN SEPTEMBER OR WE DO IT IN OCTOBER, IT STILL COVERS THE HOLIDAYS THAT ARE DESIRED HERE.
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION TO GET ANSWER TOO. ALL RIGHT.
6020. SYSTEMS OF FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS. PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE.
BUT LET ME MAKE SURE I'M HAVING TROUBLE. SYSTEM OF FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS.
UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH REVISED RCW 28A.320, 340, 160.130 AND 160.200 AS IT RELATES TO THE TVF. TRANSPORTATION.
VEHICLE FUND. ABOUT MOVING FUNDS IN AND OUT OF THE TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND.
IF WE NEEDED TO FOR FINANCIAL REASONS. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. 6100 REVENUE FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES.
[00:20:05]
PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE INCORPORATED INTO POLICY DUE TO THE PROCEDURE BEING RETIRED.SO THERE'S A FEW OF THEM THAT WE'RE GETTING RID OF THE PROCEDURE AND JUST MOVING IT INTO POLICY.
INSURANCE. 5330. UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH HOUSE BILL 2264 AND HOUSE BILL 6134, WHICH CREATED MINOR REVISIONS TO THE INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO ELIGIBILITY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
CLARIFICATION LANGUAGE ALSO ADDED TO THE ACTIONS OF ALL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES MAY BE EX.
MAY EXPOSE THE DISTRICT TO LIABILITY. QUESTIONS.
UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH AMENDED RCW 28A.530.080, WHICH EXPANDS THE AUTHORITY OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO BORROW MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS WITHOUT A PUBLIC VOTE WITH SOME LIMITATIONS.
QUESTIONS ON THAT? YOU HAD A QUESTION? NOPE.
SO 3122 I HAD A QUESTION ON. 3122.
YEAH. OH. SO THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL ENFORCE THE DISTRICT'S ATTENDANCE POLICY AND PROCEDURES, BECAUSE THE FULL KNOWLEDGE AND COOPERATION OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE NECESSARY FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, PROCEDURES WILL BE. I JUST THOUGHT THAT LIKE, LIKE WE'RE DOING THIS SO THAT OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE SUCCESSFUL.
OR IS IT SO THAT LIKE THE STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL? I MEAN, IT'S JUST IT'S A WEIRD WAY TO DO IT, MAKING POLICY.
AND THEN WE HAVE TO DO THESE THINGS JUST TO MAKE, I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WEIRD, WORDED WEIRD. MAYBE IT'S JUST MY BRAIN.
THE SECOND ONE, IT JUST LIKE THE. BECAUSE THE FULL KNOWLEDGE AND COOPERATION STUDENTS ARE NECESSARY FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. IT'S NOT THE SUCCESS OF THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES WE'RE CONCERNED, ISN'T IT? THE STUDENTS BEING AT SCHOOL.
WE CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS BEING SUCCESSFUL OR HAVING THEIR. YEAH.
THEMSELVES. LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A GOAL OF TO HAVE A MEETING.
YEAH. SUCCESS HAS MANY WAYS OF BEING. I MEAN, I'M OKAY IF WE DON'T CHANGE IT IT'S JUST. IT'S A NOISE. RIGHT. THAT'S JUST ALL IT IS.
RIGHT. EXACTLY. IT JUST IS THE WAY IT'S WORDED.
IT'S JUST LIKE, BECAUSE WE WANT OUR POLICIES TO BE RIGHT.
WELL, WE WANT THE KIDS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS WELL.
ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAD. COREY IS NOT HERE YET.
THERE'S AN ACCIDENT. BUT HE SAID HE'LL BE TEN MINUTES.
THE 1400. MEETINGS CONDUCT ORDER OF BUSINESS AND QUORUM.
AND I IMAGINE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE.
THIS, THIS REALLY IS WHEN WE CHANGED OUR FORMAT TO GO TO WORKSHOPS, THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH AND BOARD MEETING AT THE SECOND, WE DIFFERENTIATED THAT AND SHAUNA POINTED OUT THAT LIKE WHENEVER WE MEET, IT'S A BOARD MEETING, WHATEVER WE CALL IT, IT'S A BOARD MEETING. AND SO I THINK IT'S JUST UPDATING THIS SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S AT THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH IS AT 4:30 AND THE SECOND ONE IS AT 5:30.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHANGES AND THEN TOOK OUT ALL OF THE REFERENCES TO WORKSHOP.
AND WE CAN TAKE ACTION AT EITHER MEETING. WE JUST DON'T TAKE ACTION GENERALLY AT THIS MEETING.
BUT IF WE WERE GOING TO, WE WOULD JUST PUBLISH IT.
ACTION WILL BE. WE JUST HAVE TO PUBLISH THAT THERE'S ACTION.
CORRECT OUT IN THE SECTION A BOARD MEMBER WAIVES THE WRITTEN NOTICE REQUIREMENT.
IF THE BOARD MEMBER BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, SUBMITS A WRITTEN WAIVER NOTICE OR IS ACTUALLY PRESENT AT THE TIME THE MEETING CONVENES. AND THOSE WERE.
AND THEN MEETING CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS.
[00:25:05]
BUT IN THE SOME OF THE LEGAL BREAKOUT SESSIONS AT WASDA.AND SO WE CAN SAY THIS STUFF IN HERE, BUT. ONLY IF SOMEBODY IS BEING LIKE REALLY THREATENING CAN YOU ACTUALLY REMOVE THEM. SO WELL, AND THERE IS THAT PART ON THERE THAT IN ADDITION TO PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, WHICH WE DO, WE MAY, WE MAY ADD. THEY MAY COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS. YEAH. IF WE, WHICH WE DON'T USUALLY PUT PUBLIC COMMENT, LIKE WE DON'T USUALLY PUT AN AGENDA ITEM AND THEN PUT PUBLIC COMMENT, RIGHT. WE JUST HAVE THEM DO IT ALL AT THE BEGINNING, NOT ON A SPECIFIC TOPIC.
THERE WAS, THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THERE THAT I.
REGARDING THAT. BECAUSE IT SAID PUBLIC COMMENTS.
SORT OF LIKE THE BOARD MAY. TAKE THE LAST PARAGRAPH THE BOARD. MAY IDENTIFY. THE BOARD IS NOT OBLIGATED TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE LEGALLY NOT ABLE, NOT ABLE TO RESPOND.
THIS MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT'S A CHOICE. OH. YEAH.
THE BOARD IS NOT OBLIGATED TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR CHALLENGES MADE DURING PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. WE'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, BY LAW BECAUSE OPMA WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO. WHEREAS THIS MAKES IT LOOK LIKE, OH, WE JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.
SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO RESPOND TO PUBLIC COMMENT THAT ISN'T AN ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA NO, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA. IF WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, THEN IT'S A VIOLATION OF OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS BECAUSE PEOPLE MAY WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THAT AND IT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA. AND WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
IS MY UNDERSTANDING. BECAUSE IF THEY WERE SPEAKING ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE, SAY, THE BUDGET WAS ON LINE ITEM AND THEY WERE SPEAKING ABOUT THE BUDGET, WE WOULD. THEY WOULD GIVE THEIR COMMENT, AND THEN WE COULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE HAVE OUR DISCUSSION.
RIGHT? RIGHT. JUST WOULDN'T ANSWER THEM BACK AT THAT MOMENT.
RIGHT. BUT IF SOMEBODY IS ASKING A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
WE CAN'T. WANT ANSWERS AND THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
THEN IT WOULD BE HAVING A DISCUSSION THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY WANTS TO BE INVOLVED.
AND THEY WEREN'T YES AGENDA? COULD WE TALK ABOUT THAT? WELL, SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
THAT'S OUR GUIDANCE WE'VE GOT FROM WASDA FOREVER.
SO THAT'S. YEAH, THAT WAS A QUESTION IT'S OUR CHOICE. YEAH, I'M. YEAH, EXACTLY. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT LANGUAGE. SORRY. I'M STILL GETTING SET UP. OKAY. [LAUGHTER]. YEAH, WE DID ALL OF THEM ALREADY AND JUST CAME BACK AND WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT THIS AND THEN YOU SHOWED UP.
ALL WE HAD TO DO IS START TALKING ABOUT IT, AND YOU'D WALK.
YOU MUST HAVE. YOU GOT THE SHORT CHAIR.
TRACEY SWITCH TO THE SHORT CHAIR FOR COREY [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE HE'S LAST.
SORRY. I'VE. OH, PEOPLE SAW IT. AFTER THE BUS.
ON. IMMEDIATELY YEAH. WELL, IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THAT LANGUAGE COMES STRAIGHT FROM YEAH, THE. OBLIGATED. ARE OBLIGATED AND MY UNDERSTANDING IN WHAT I READ AND I CAN'T FIND IT RIGHT NOW, IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A MICROPHONE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS IN THE READING THAT I HAD DONE IS THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN RESPOND. YOU CAN RESPOND TO A PUBLIC COMMENT IF IT'S ON THE AGENDA, IF IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, YOU CANNOT. TO THEIR PUBLIC COMMENT. SO IF THEY BRING UP SOMETHING IN DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR PUBLIC COMMENT, AND IT'S RELATING TO A SUBJECT THAT IS NOT ON THE BOARD AGENDA, YOU CANNOT RESPOND TO THAT.
BUT IF THEY BRING UP SOMETHING THAT IS ON THE BOARD AGENDA, YOU CAN RESPOND TO THAT.
OKAY. THAT, THAT JUST SEEMS REALLY WIGGY. I WOULD.
AND I MEAN, EVEN IF IT'S ON THE AGENDA, LIKE WE GET TO PICK WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO RESPOND TO THIS ONE OR MAYBE RESPONDED TO YOURS, BUT NOT YOURS THAT JUST.
[00:30:04]
I KNOW IT'S WASDA STANDARD. IT'S IN OUR POLICY TODAY.I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD LIKE BOARD, LIKE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR MAYBE SOME OUTSIDE TRAINING JUST TO GIVE US LIKE AN UPDATE ON PUBLIC COMMENT HOW IT WORKS TODAY. JUST, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK THE, THE NOT OBLIGATED IS, DOES IT ALLOW US TO THEN REFER TO JOHN TO SAY, CAN YOU FOLLOW UP ON THIS PUBLIC COMMENT? I KNOW THAT'S ADDRESSED IN THERE.
BUT I'M WITH COREY. LIKE I, I DON'T THINK WE RESPOND AT ALL.
AND THAT'S MAYBE WHY THE WORDING IS IN THAT WAY.
WHICH REALLY IS ANSWERING THEIR QUESTION. YEAH.
SO COMMENTING ON IT IS LIKE NOT ASKING THEM A QUESTION BACK OR ANYTHING.
YEAH. SO THAT'S WHERE I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S GETTING A LITTLE. SO IS THIS SOMETHING LIKE IF WE WANTED TRAINING ON IT, LIKE MATTHEW SAID, LIKE SHAWN MACPHERSON WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH? AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SESSION ON THIS AT WASDA.
BUT. BUT I KNOW SHAWN'S DONE SOME OF OUR OTHER LIKE OUR HE'S DONE SOME OF OUR TRAINING.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS. IF THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION.
BECAUSE I THINK WE'D PREFER TO TAKE THE SUBJECTIVITY OF IT OUT.
YEAH. I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT SOMEBODY TO SAY, WELL, WHY DID YOU ANSWER THIS PERSON'S QUESTION? AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MINE, WHICH IS A FAIR QUESTION.
WELL, WHAT CONSIDERS A RESPONSE? AGAIN, IF I'M SADDENED BY A PUBLIC COMMENT AND I DON'T HAVE A BLANK FACE, IS THAT A RESPONSE? IT COULD BE CONSIDERED.
SO AGAIN, I JUST THINK IT'S IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD ONE TO HAVE OUR LIKE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING AT A WORKSHOP AND HAVE SHAWN COME IN AND SAY, TELL US WHERE THINGS ARE AT RIGHT NOW.
LET'S SAY FOR LAND PROPERTY, AND YOU HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN AND ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RESPOND IF SOMEBODY RAISES A QUESTION BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT OF BUILDING OUT THE PUBLIC MEETING IS FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO BRING A PUBLIC COMMENT AND TO RESPOND BUT WHEN WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, WHEN WE DO A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THOSE IT IS THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS IT'S FOR YOU CAN ONLY COMMENT AT THIS TIME FOR THAT SPECIFIC ITEM. IT WOULD BE A SECOND. YEAH.
AND THEN I WOULD THINK AFTER SOMEONE GAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN AS WE'RE DISCUSSING BEFORE WE WOULD APPROVE IT, WE WOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT THE WHAT THE PUBLIC COMMENT WAS.
DO WE WANT TO PAY SHAWN TO COME IN OR DO. WELL, WE CAN WAIT AND SEE.
AND IF THEY DON'T? IF THEY DON'T, THEN BRING THEM IN. OR IF THEY DO.
AND IT'S NOT WHAT WE LIKE, THEN WE DO IT. I THINK IT RESONATES SO THAT WE CARE ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENT.
RIGHT. ABOUT THIS BECAUSE. ABSOLUTELY. WE DON'T WANT TO SQUASH IT.
EXACTLY. THIS IS A THIS IS A BLACK AND WHITE PROCESS.
AND MY BIG THING ON MY BIG THING ON, ON THIS, ON THIS, THE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY IS I WOULD LIKE TO DIG IN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE WHYS OF SOME OF THE CHANGES ON THIS BECAUSE I DO FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE, THE 1000 SERIES POLICIES THAT'S LIKE OUR GOVERNANCE, LIKE THOSE ARE OUR CORE THINGS.
SO LIKE IF WE'RE CHANGING THESE, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND, WAS THERE A LAW THAT CHANGED WITH THIS THAT WE NOW NEED TO COMPLY WITH? AND IN THAT CASE, WE SHOULD PROBABLY, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, HAVE SOME TRAINING ON IT. BUT IF IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE IF. WE. I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS I DON'T WANT TO.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHY WE'RE MAKING THE CHANGES TO THESE.
DIFFERENT THAN PUBLIC COMMENT. IF I CAN DEVIATE.
AGAIN, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS, BUT I KNOW THAT WE CAN.
AT A WORKSHOP, WE CAN SAY IN ADVANCE THAT THERE WILL BE A DECISION AND IT'S TECHNICALLY A MEETING.
YES, WE COULD MAKE A DECISION AT A WORKSHOP, BUT OUR INTENT HERE IS THAT WE DO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEETINGS LIKE THIS WHERE WE KNOW WE'RE COMING IN AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO I LIKE THAT IT'S THAT WAY.
[00:35:02]
POLICY, WE WILL RECORD ALL MEETINGS. WHETHER IT'S A WORKSHOP OR NOT.NOW BOTH MEETINGS ARE LISTED UNLESS I'M READING IT WRONG, IT SAYS WE HAVE TO RECORD.
YEAH, BOTH MEETINGS. RIGHT NOW WE DON'T.
NO, I KNOW, BUT TECHNICALLY THIS WORKSHOP BY THE EXISTING POLICY, WE DO NOT NEED TO RECORD IT.
WE COULD SAY THE BOARD'S GOING TO HOLD A WORKSHOP AT AN OFFSITE AND EVERYONE'S INVITED.
WE'RE NOW OBLIGATED TO HAVE ALL OUR MEETINGS, BOTH MEETINGS HERE AT BEFORE, BUT IF WE IF WE SAID WE WANTED TO, WE'D HAVE TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION TO IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I JUST I KIND OF LIKE THE WAY WE HAVE IT.
THEY'RE JUST AROUND A TABLE AND PEOPLE ARE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO LISTEN IN. BUT I'M WITH COREY.
I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE, BECAUSE I THINK WE WANT TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE.
YEAH. AND I FEEL I ALSO, AGAIN, KIND OF UNDERSTANDING THE INTENT HERE, I, UNLESS I, UNLESS I'M MISUNDERSTANDING SOMETHING IN THE, IN THE PAST, I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS HAS GOTTEN IN THE WAY EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE TIMES WHEN WE'RE LIKE, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY THING, WE NEED TO LIKE THIS CAN'T WAIT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SO WE NEED TO VOTE ON IT AT THIS MEETING. AND THEN I THINK THAT THAT'S FAIR.
BUT IF WE CALL THAT THE SPECIAL MEETING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT THE BEGINNING AND WE VOTE ON IT.
YEAH. AHEAD OF TIME. YEAH. MAKE A DECISION ON IT.
I AGREE WITH MATTHEW. I LIKE THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IT LAID OUT THAT LIKE WE.
THIS, THE INTENT OF THIS MEETING IS FOR US TO DIVE INTO THINGS MORE.
AND THE INTENT OF THE MEETING ON THE END OF THE MONTH IS MORE OF A BUSINESS MEETING.
THERE IS NOTHING CALLED A WORKSHOP. IF THERE'S NO AS A BOARD, WE'VE DECIDED THAT. YES, ANYTIME THREE OF US ARE PRESENT, IT'S AN OPEN PUBLIC.
AND WE'RE DISCUSSING SCHOOL BUSINESS. IT'S AN OPEN PUBLIC MEETING.
WE'RE CALLING IT A WORKSHOP, BUT IT'S STILL A MEETING. AND AT THE FOURTH MONDAY OF THE MONTH, WE'RE HAVING OUR BUSINESS MEETING. IT'S STILL A GENERAL, YOU KNOW, AN OPEN PUBLIC MEETING OR WHATEVER.
BUT WE'RE JUST WE'RE JUST SAYING WE DIG INTO STUFF HERE, WE VOTE ON THINGS HERE.
AND THE SECOND MEETING IS ALWAYS A VOTING MEETING. WE KNOW THAT. WE'RE GOING TO NOT TAKE A VOTE.
BUT WE ALSO. WANT OUR INTENTION IS SORRY, IS TO NOT TAKE FINAL ACTION.
THIS IS TIME FOR. WE MEET TOGETHER AND WITH OTHERS, AND I LIKE THAT IT SETS THAT TONE.
I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION THAT EFFECTIVE JUNE 30TH IS THAT JUST WHEN WE STARTED RECORDING THEM? OR IS WAS THERE SOME SORT OF REGULATION THAT SAYS, AS OF JUNE 30TH, ALL YOUR 2024, ALL YOUR MEETINGS NEED TO BE RECORDED? IT WAS THE LAW. PART OF THE LAW. OKAY.
TO WAS THE LANGUAGE THE MODEL POLICY OKAY. SO OKAY. AND THAT WAS ANOTHER ONE OF MY QUESTION IS, IS WHICH STUFF WAS? BECAUSE USUALLY WHEN WE GET THESE, LIKE PURPLE IS IN HOUSE.
AND SO WHEN I SAW RED STUFF BEING STRUCK, I WAS LIKE, OH, OKAY, MAYBE IS THAT IS THAT WASDA THE LANGUAGE OR IS THAT INTERNAL STUFF? OKAY.
EVEN IF WE KEPT THE WORKSHOP PART, THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE A REGULAR EXECUTIVE OR EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE IT DOES CONSTITUTE REGULAR MEETINGS AND WE CAN'T SAY THAT THERE IS NO ACTION BECAUSE ACTION CAN TAKE PLACE.
BUT WE CANNOT SAY THAT NO QUORUM IS REQUIRED BECAUSE NO FORMAL ACTION OF THE BOARD AS A WHOLE WILL BE REQUESTED OR CALLED FOR.
THAT'S FORMAL ACTION IS VOTING ON SOMETHING. RIGHT? CAN VOTE ON SOMETHING. BUT WE'RE SAYING BUT WE'RE BASICALLY WHAT.
YES, WE CAN, BUT WE'RE SAYING. WE'RE SAYING AS A BOARD, WE'RE NOT GOING TO.
UNLESS WE HAVE TO. THEN WE CALL. THEN THAT'S WHEN WE LABEL WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.
SO IF WE KNOW GOING INTO IT THAT WE NEED TO VOTE ON SOMETHING, THEN WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT PORTION OF THE EVEN IF IT'S MIDWAY DOWN THE MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO RECESS THE WE'RE GOING TO RECESS THIS WORKSHOP.
WE'RE GOING TO CALL A SPECIAL MEETING TO ORDER. I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S A COUPLE EXTRA STEPS, BUT. I THINK IT'S KIND OF THE PROMISE THAT WE INTEND NOT TO TAKE FINAL ACTION AT THIS THIS MEETING,
[00:40:05]
THIS WORKSHOP, WHICH WE HOLD EVERY MONTH EXCEPT FOR TWICE.SO IF WE WANTED TO ADD SOME QUALIFIER LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT WE YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT NUMBER TWO, THAT WE CAN CLEAN THE LANGUAGE UP IN THERE. IF THAT'S IF THAT'S UNCLEAR, THEN THEN I'M FINE WITH CLEANING THAT LANGUAGE UP.
BUT I THINK THAT WHEN WE ARE IN A WORKSHOP, WE'RE NOT VOTING ON ANYTHING.
SO THEN TAKE OUT THAT. IT'S NOT A SPECIAL MEETING.
IT'S A REGULAR AND WE INTEND NOT TO. AND IF WE NEED, IF WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO VOTE ON SOMETHING AT A WORKSHOP.
THAT'S USUALLY WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S TIME SENSITIVE. THEN WE JUST WHEN WE POST IT THAT WAY, WE JUST SAY THERE'S A SPECIAL MEETING THAT'S AT, YOU KNOW, 4:30 AND THAT'S WHEN WE VOTE ON SOMETHING.
AND THEN THE WORKSHOP WILL START AT 4:45 THAT DAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR FLIP IT AROUND AND SAY, THE WORKSHOP IS STILL AT 4:30, BUT WE'RE GOING TO RECESS THAT AND GO INTO OUR SPECIAL MEETING AT THIS TIME TO VOTE, AND THEN WE COME BACK OUT OF IT, OR THAT'S THE LAST THING.
IF NUMBER TWO NEEDS TO BE REWORDED, I WOULD, I WOULD RE.
I CAN WOULD BE FINE REWORDING THAT. AND IF. I'VE ELIMINATED.
AND WHAT? FIVE ELIMINATED. NO QUORUM IS REQUIRED.
CORRECT. YEAH. BECAUSE IT'S. BECAUSE IT'S A YEAH.
IT'S A REGULAR MEETING. SO YEAH. WE'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL THOSE SAME RULES AS A REGULAR MEETING.
WE'LL DO THIS REGULAR MEETING IN A WORKSHOP FORM, WHICH INCLUDES BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS. OR EVEN EMERGENCY MEETING.
WE ALSO HAVE THAT ABILITY AS WELL. I MEAN IT DOES.
IT DOES SAY IN HERE, IF YOU KEEP GOING DOWN THAT WELL I GUESS THAT'S A THAT.
NEVER MIND. THAT'S BECAUSE OF FIRE, FLOOD, EARTHQUAKE OR OTHER EMERGENCY.
SO IF THERE'S AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY THEN WE ALSO HAVE THAT AS WELL.
BUT I THINK SPECIAL MEETING COVERS EVERYTHING.
WELL, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NO FORMAL ACTION OF THE BOARD WILL BE REQUESTED, BUT BY DEFINITION, A REGULAR MEETING WHICH THESE ARE BY DEFINITION, A REGULAR MEETING MEANS THAT ACTION CAN BE TAKEN AT THEM.
AND. BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO. RIGHT. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU WOULD RESTRICT IT.
SO, I MEAN, I WOULD RATHER. I MEAN, UNLESS WE WERE SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO.
BUT YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ACTION AT A REGULAR MEETING BECAUSE BY DEFINITION, A REGULAR MEETING SAYS YOU CAN HAVE ACTION AT IT.
BUT WE WON'T. WE CAN SAY WE WILL NOT AT THE ADVERTISED WORKSHOP.
I GUESS. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.
NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE A POLICY. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.
UNLESS I'M WRONG, A MAJORITY OF US, OR AT LEAST WE'RE EXPRESSING THE OPINION.
THIS IS OUR MEETING. I DON'T. I DON'T LIKE THE CHANGE.
I'M JUST GOING TO BE STRAIGHT UP. I DON'T LIKE THE CHANGE DICTATED BY OUTSIDE.
I THINK I'D RATHER US AT A WORKSHOP TALK ABOUT HOW BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'RE DOING IT IN THE CONTEXT OF LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT'S TELLING US WHO WE'RE GOING TO BE. AND I'D RATHER SIT AND SAY, HOW DO WE WANT TO STRUCTURE OUR MEETINGS? WHAT TIMES, WHAT DAYS? WHAT DO WE WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC WHAT THESE ARE? I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON THIS JUST LIKE THE OTHER, BUT THIS IS A POLICY THAT DRIVES US LIKE OUR INTERNAL DIALOG.
GENERAL, OUR BOARD OPERATES THAT THE SECOND MONDAY OF THE MONTH IS, IS, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY A WORKSHOP AND A LEARNING SESSION. OTHER PEOPLE CALL IT WORK SESSIONS OR STUDY SESSIONS.
AND TYPICALLY WE'RE NOT MAKING DECISIONS OR TAKING ACTIONS.
AND THE NEXT MEETING IS, YOU KNOW, A FORMAL BUSINESS MEETING WHERE WE DO MAKE DECISIONS AND TAKE ACTIONS AND JUST SAY, AND THEN THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE US FROM DOING IT AT A WORKSHOP, BUT IT JUST SAYS TYPICALLY.
[00:45:03]
RIGHT. THIS IS HOW WE OPERATE. I LIKE THAT. I LIKE BEING INSTEAD OF SAYING NO, BUT I LIKE.IF WE HAD A, IF WE HAD A WORKSHOP. YEAH, WE SAY, BUT WE DID HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE.
WE WERE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO LET PEOPLE KNOW.
I GUESS I'M OKAY WITH MAKING SOME OF THE CHANGES.
THIS AMOUNT OF CHANGE MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND I HONESTLY THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER, MAYBE AT OUR NEXT WORKSHOP IF WE HAVE AN UPDATED VERSION.
THAT SAID, AND MAYBE DISCUSS THIS DIFFERENTLY RATHER THAN A COPY THAT'S CHANGING US, IS TO SAY, WHAT DO WE DESIRE TO BE? YES. THAT'S GOOD. I THINK FOR US, THE TWO MAIN THINGS TO CONNIE'S POINT IS IT COULD BECOME A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
IF WE START WITH ONE ACTION ITEM, THEN NEXT TIME MAYBE IT'S TWO.
THEN YOU JUST HAVE TWO A MONTH.
WE REALLY DO LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THE ONE MEETING A MONTH DOES HINDER US ONCE IN A WHILE.
SO GIVING US THAT SECOND OPTION, I THINK STAFF WOULD APPRECIATE THAT TOO.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S GOOD. YOU GUYS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN REALLY OPEN TO THAT.
WE JUST HAVEN'T USED IT THAT MUCH. I MEAN TRACEY AND CONNIE.
MAYBE WE CAN SPEAK. WE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CHANGED PROBABLY ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO.
AND WE WERE ALWAYS. WE COULD NEVER DIG INTO A TOPIC LIKE WITH ANY SORT OF LIKE DETAIL, BECAUSE WE WERE ALWAYS BEING RUSHED, BECAUSE WE GOT TO END THIS, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO, WE'VE GOT OUR REGULAR MEETING IS STARTING AT 5:30, AND THAT HAS TO START RIGHT THEN AND THERE. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE SAYING, OKAY, WE'RE JUST AND WE DID THIS UNDER THE ADVISEMENT OF BUSINESS SERVICES AND ALL OF THAT. LIKE IF WE JUST DO EVERYTHING, IF WE VOTE ON THE, LIKE THE FORMAL PAYROLL STUFF AND ALL OF THAT, IF WE JUST DO THAT ON THE FOURTH, THE FOURTH MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH, CAN WE DO IT? AND THEY WERE LIKE, YEAH. AND THE OTHER REASON THAT WE DID IT IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, DURING COVID WHEN THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON AND WE HAD A FULL BOARDROOM EVERY MEETING, YOU KNOW, AND WE AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, COMMENT ON PUBLIC COMMENTS.
AND ALL THEY SEE US DOING IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE AGENDA AND WE VOTE AND WE.
AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR THE PUBLIC TO SORT OF SEE THE MEAT OF THE PROCESS.
I LOOK AT WHAT THE CITY DOES, WHICH WE ALWAYS KNOW THE CITY COUNCIL HAS A WORKSHOP.
YES, IT'S A PUBLIC MEETING. THEY COULD TAKE A VOTE AT A WORKSHOP.
THEY DON'T BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR MEETING LATER IN THE DAY.
I KNOW WE DON'T DO THAT MODEL, BUT I WANT THAT PROMISE.
I'D RATHER PEOPLE KNOW LIKE, OKAY, IT'S GOING TO BE THE EXCEPTION THAT WE TAKE SOME ACTION AT THIS.
AND I WOULD RATHER SAY WE'RE GOING TO CALL THAT OUT AS SEPARATE, LIKE THE WORKSHOP'S DONE.
AND NOW WE'RE HAVING A SPECIAL MEETING TO VOTE ON SOMETHING SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD. I LIKE PUTTING THAT IN THE IN THE IN THE POLICY, BUT ALSO KEEPING THE WASDA THE LANGUAGE THAT BOTH OF THESE MEETINGS ARE, ARE REGULAR MEETINGS. YEAH. RIGHT. PER WHAT. PER THE LAW.
THEY'RE BOTH REGULAR MEETINGS.
THE INTERNAL PROCESSES. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHICH OF WHICH OF THESE THE DELETIONS ARE UPDATED LIKE TO COMPLY WITH OR TO UPDATE TO MATCH WASDA MODEL POLICY AND WHICH DELETIONS ARE INTERNAL REQUESTS BECAUSE I NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.
I SEE IN HERE WHEN IT'S INTERNAL REQUESTS. WE HAVE IT IN PURPLE I BELIEVE IS THE IS THE IS THE SYSTEM RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHERE I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHICH ONE.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'LL HELP ME OUT TOO, BECAUSE QUITE HONESTLY, IF I'M LIKE THIS IS TO COMPLY WITH THE MODEL POLICY, THAT MAKES MY DECISION A LOT EASIER BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, OH, BECAUSE THIS IS VETTED LANGUAGE THAT COMPLIES WITH THE LAW.
SO THAT I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT HELPS ME ANYWAYS.
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE I'M TRYING TO SEE WHERE I'M AT HERE.
ON THE THIRD, FOURTH PAGE MEETING CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS.
[00:50:07]
THE SUPERINTENDENT OR A BOARD MEMBER MAY REQUEST ANY ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED AGENDA.ALL THAT STUFF IN THERE IS THAT STRUCK PER WASDA OR IS THAT STRUCK PER INTERNAL? CROSSING OUT SHOULD BE. IF POSSIBLE. YEAH. BECAUSE.
THAT DOESN'T GIVE US ANY FLEXIBILITY AT ALL TO ADJUST THE AGENDA ON THE FLY IF WE NEED TO.
BUSINESS MODEL YEAH. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT YEAH. OKAY. IF THEY DID, I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHEN.
LIKE THAT MAKES US OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH A, WITH A REGULATION IF WE DON'T REMOVE IT.
IF WE NEED TO CHANGE SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA, THE ORDER OF YEAH, OR IF OR IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONS OR CHANGES, IT'S JUST GOT TO BE APPROVED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT.
BECAUSE THIS POLICY DOESN'T. SO IF WE TAKE IT OUT, I'M JUST SAYING THAT IF WE TAKE THAT OUT, THEN IT DOESN'T GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.
BUT IT ALSO DOESN'T LIMIT US. IT DOESN'T SAY, YOU CAN'T DO THAT EITHER.
YOU CAN STILL DO IT. RIGHT? BECAUSE AT ANY TIME ANYONE COULD SAY, I WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE AGENDA, RIGHT? WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
CORRECT. WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS YOU CAN EITHER. WELL, TRUE.
I WAS JUST THINKING IT WOULD IT'S PROBABLY INCLUDED IN THERE.
SO THEY DON'T. AND WE'VE ALREADY HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS WE USE ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.
SO MAYBE WE NEED TO GO AND BRUSH UP ON THAT A LITTLE BIT TOO.
BUT WE COULD ADD. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY.
GO BACK THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT THE RED IS.
YEAH, LIKE TECHNICALLY THAT'S RED BECAUSE IT'S NOT YEAH. WHICH I MEAN, WE CAN. WE DON'T HAVE TO STICK EXACTLY TO WHAT, BUT I JUST ALWAYS LIKE TO KNOW IF WE'RE REMOVING SOMETHING. IS IT BECAUSE A LOT HAS CHANGED NOW THAT PUTS US OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IT OR SOMETHING SO.
I'D SAY 95% OF THE TIME. EXACTLY 95%. VERY RARE IN THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE IT'S BEEN A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR. YEAH.
SHE'S CHANGING INTERNALLY. OKAY. YEAH.
SO FOR THE PUBLIC, YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THEY ALWAYS HOLD THEIR WORKSHOP ON THE SECOND MONDAY, BUT YOU'RE LIKE, BUT THAT COULD CHANGE. I'D RATHER HAVE IT IN WHERE IT'S OVERT. AND WE TELL PEOPLE, NO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WORKSHOP. NO, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT AT OUR WORKSHOP, BUT WE COULD WE COULD CHANGE THAT TOO AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SOMETHING WE WANT PEOPLE TO DO, BUT I LIKE HOW IT IS.
SUPERVISOR VOTING ON SOMETHING BECAUSE THE PUBLIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON WHATEVER IT IS I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TOO, BUT BEFORE WE HAD BEFORE WE HAD OUR PARALEGAL IN, IN HOUSE ALEX, WE WOULD, WHEN WE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THESE, WE WOULD JUST RUN IT TO WASDA REALLY QUICK.
IS THERE A WAY WE COULD SEND THE WORKSHOP PORTION TO.
I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT VERY QUICK WITH RESPONSES.
[00:55:03]
OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. I WAS JUST CURIOUS LIKE IS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY AS A BOARD, OBVIOUSLY, TO MODIFY AND ADJUST THESE THESE MODEL POLICIES AS WE SEE FIT FOR OUR DISTRICT.SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WITH THE WORKSHOP THE WAY THAT WE HAVE LISTED HERE.
ARE THERE THINGS THAT SOMEHOW PUT US OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW, OR CAN WE JUST BECAUSE IF BECAUSE IF WE CAN KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS, I FEEL LIKE IT'S BEEN WORKING. SO KEEP IT. YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE LINES THAT AREN'T.
RIGHT? I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. HOW DO WE TRACK OUR REVISION PROCESS? SO SAY WE HAVE YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO. WE HAVE WASDA'S MODEL POLICY.
AND THEN FIVE YEARS LATER, A WHOLE NOTHER BOARD.
THERE'S A THING LIKE, OH, THIS DOESN'T ALIGN TO WASDA'S POLICY.
AND SO WE ALIGN IT BACK. WHERE DO. DO WE EVER ANYWHERE HAVE KEEP.
YEAH. TO THE POLICY. LIKE, HERE'S THE POLICY.
HERE WAS THE LAST REVISION AND THIS IS WHAT WE CHANGED.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MAYBE A HISTORY OF THESE SPREADSHEETS AND LINED THROUGH, BUT THAT BUT THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE KEEP SOME OF THIS STUFF IN HERE AND THE NEXT TIME WE GO TO ALIGN IT WITH WASDA'S POLICY, IT GETS TAKEN OUT AGAIN, SOMEHOW WE NEED TO KNOW. THIS PART WE KNOW IS NOT IN WASDA'S POLICY, AND WE HAVE CONSCIOUSLY KEPT IT IN.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
OKAY. IT'S QUITE THE INTRICATE SYSTEM THAT AND THEN ALEX IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT HER OWN OKAY. YEAH. YEAH. THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN DO IS WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GO, LIKE WHEN YOU'RE NOT IN THE GOOGLE DOC AND YOU GO TO OUR PUBLISHED POLICIES, IT DOES LIST THE PRIOR REVISION DATES. CORRECT.
BUT NOT ACTUALLY WHAT WAS CHANGED. SO I GUESS YOU COULD GO BACK.
PRIOR TO GOOGLE DOC. IT GETS VERY COMPLEX. YES.
YEAH. YEAH. SO I MEAN, AT LEAST SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE WE'VE BEEN USING GOOGLE DOCS.
YEAH. AND SO SOMEWHERE THEN MAYBE THERE'S A GOOGLE DOC OR SOMETHING WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE SPREADSHEETS THAT WE'VE DONE AND THE LINE THROUGH POLICIES BECAUSE LIKE WE HAVE THE DATE, BUT THEN EVEN IF WE GO BACK TO THE MINUTES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE.
IF IT WAS DONE ON BUT IF IT WASN'T, THEN PROBABLY NOT. YEAH. WELL, MOVING.
YEAH. SOMEHOW, I MEAN, BECAUSE THE.
SO LIKE WHEN. WAS RECOMMENDED. WHAT DID WE DO? LIKE THIS WAS LINED OUT. IT WAS ALIGNED WITH WASDA.
WE ADDED THIS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
LIKE, LISTEN, CROSS-REFERENCE. YEAH, MAYBE SOMETHING IN THE BOTTOM THAT SAYS WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT THE ON OUR PUBLIC FACING POLICIES, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO BE TRACKING THE REVISION HISTORY THERE, JUST LIKE THE DETAILS OF IT. JUST. WE ARE HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS.
WE MAY BE WE MAY WANT TO KNOW, HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ONE FROM FIVE YEARS AGO AND THE NOTES ON THAT? SO I THINK IT'D BE MORE US, NOT THEM. YEAH. SO YOU CAN PROBABLY GO BACK THROUGH AND SEARCH SOME OF THAT UP.
LIKE I WAS JUST DOING IT HERE ON THE ON BOARD DOCS.
WELL, I MEAN, BECAUSE, BECAUSE YOU, BECAUSE YOU WERE ASKING, IS THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WAS POLICY OR DID WE SOMEDAY, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO BACK AND LOOK WHEN WE ADDED IT.
YEAH. WELL, I ALWAYS APPRECIATE TO WHEN WE HAVE A, USUALLY IF WE HAVE A WAS TO IF THERE'S A WASDA GENERATED OR RECOMMENDATION TO CHANGE, IT'S ALWAYS LINKED WITH THE POLICY AND LEGAL NEWS, RIGHT.
SO USUALLY THAT TELLS THE HISTORY OF IT AS WELL WHY THEY'RE CHANGING IT OR SOMETHING.
YES, PLEASE. YES. JULY 26TH POLICY REVIEW. AND SOMETIMES JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT WE WERE, SO I APPRECIATE THAT WE'RE MORE UP TO DATE ON THESE POLICIES THAN 100%.
YES. THAT'S GREAT. AND I KNOW THE INTERNAL REQUESTS ARE, ARE MAYBE IT DIDN'T COME FROM POLICY AND LEGAL, BUT SHE'S TRYING TO GET US BACK IN LINE. AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
[01:00:02]
THIS IS A REGULAR MEETING. OUR PRACTICE IS BLAH BLAH, BLAH.I THINK JUST ADD ONE MORE COMMENT, BECAUSE I'VE LOOKED AT THREE OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE THINGS LIKE US, EITHER COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, BOARD WORKING SESSION, BOARD WORKSHOP.
THEY STATE NO DECISIONS WILL BE MADE AT THAT MEETING.
SO TECHNICALLY, IF ONLY TWO OF US SHOWED UP TO A WORKSHOP WHERE NO ACTION, WE COULD LISTEN TO, THINGS WE COULD DISCUSS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MAKING THE SPECIAL MEETING COULDN'T BE HELD IF THERE WERE ONLY TWO OF US. BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CERTAIN WE'RE REALLY.
BUT THIS IS NOT A PLANNING SESSION THEY HAVE A CALLED COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. NO QUORUM IS REQUIRED BECAUSE NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.
BUT IS THAT ONE OF THE REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS? SCHEDULED MONTHLY. YEP. SCHEDULED MONTHLY. SO THIS POLICY FEELS SO MUCH ABOUT HOW WE WORK THAT I JUST THINK WE SHOULD BE THE ONES SHAPING IT WITH THE GUIDANCE OF JUST VERSUS THE OTHER WAY.
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S A TOO BIG OF A CHANGE AND I DON'T, I DON'T LIKE THE WHAT'S THE STANDARD ONE? IT'S VERY VAGUE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE ALL FEEL IS, IS WHAT IF ALL FIVE OF US WERE TO DISAPPEAR AND FIVE NEW PEOPLE COME IN, THEY'RE LIKE, I KNOW WHY THEY DID IT THIS WAY, BECAUSE IT SPEAKS TO THE PUBLIC AND SPEAKS TO HOW WE DO THINGS, RIGHT? YES. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WE TALK ABOUT ONE POLICY FOR SO LONG.
THAT'S GOOD. IT WAS GOOD. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
WE KNEW THAT. THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU FOR YES, THANKS FOR THE WORK, FOR ALL THAT.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE GO BACK. I APPRECIATE THAT.
ABSOLUTELY. AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO LOGISTICS.
YEAH. SORRY. I THINK THE BIGGEST QUESTION THAT I HAD FOR YOU.
SO YOU GUYS GOT THE EMAIL ABOUT WELL THAT'S GOOD. OH.
I WAS LIKE, WELL, MAYBE YOU GUYS GOT ME, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
TODAY I REGISTERED WITH YOU ALL TODAY SO I WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING TODAY. SO THEY MUST NOT HAVE PROCESSED IT YET.
SO THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
SO I DID CONFIRM IN THE TOTAL DRIVE SHARED GOOGLE DRIVE, WHICH I ALSO ADDED A LINK TO THAT ON THE BOARD PAGE AND SO BASED ON WHAT I FOUND, I THINK MAYBE ONE MORE THING. YOU'RE A FOUR YEAR PERIOD IS WHAT I DID.
AND SO THEN I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT PERSON.
SO YOU ALL HAVE LONG HOURS. SO IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE AGENDA FROM THE SO IT IS BEING OFFERED ON THURSDAY AT 2:30 P.M.
BUT THEN IT'S ALSO BEING OFFERED ON FRIDAY, BUT THEN IT INTERFERES WITH SOME OF THE BREAKOUTS THAT YOU HAVE YEAH. LET'S DO IT THURSDAY. KNOCK IT OUT THURSDAY. OKAY.
SO THIS IS ON. BOARD WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
IT WAS SO CLEAR THAT I NEEDED TO CLEAR IT, SAYS BOARD, BEFORE I TRIED TO OPEN THE REFRIGERATOR. [LAUGHTER] CAN'T FIND THE MILK.
AND THAT PROBABLY DOESN'T ACTUALLY START UNTIL ABOUT.
TO REGISTER FOR IT AHEAD OF TIME. REMEMBER WE SHOWED UP ON TIME AND THEY'RE LIKE, YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED. YEAH.
07:30 OKAY. OH, FOR THE EQUITY TRAINING.
ONE TIME. YEAH, I YES, WE MESSED UP WE MESSED UP THE REGISTRATION WENT TO SPAM FOR ME TO THE FILTER.
I HAD TO RELEASE IT. I JUST GOT IT. AND I HAD TO, BUT IT WENT INTO THE QUARANTINE FOR SOME REASON
[01:05:05]
YEAH. IF THEY'RE QUARANTINED, I DELETE THEM. THE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT ONE IS EARLY THURSDAY.YEAH. SO SHE'D HAVE TO EITHER TAKE AN EARLIER FLIGHT OR THE NIGHT BEFORE.
YEAH, THAT'S THE BOARD. THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WOULD.
MIC]. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE ON THE EARLIER FLIGHT, I'LL GO ON THE EARLIER.
YEAH, YEAH. THAT'S OKAY. I MEAN, IF YOU WANT SOME, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SPLIT UP ALL YOUR LEADERSHIP.
SO, YOU KNOW, SHAWN, IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO GO WITH YOU EARLIER.
OKAY. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY ON UBER FROM THE AIRPORT OVER ITS SHARING.
BOARD REQUIRED TRAININGS. THERE'S A WORKSHOP TODAY.
I JUST GOT A REMINDER WE NEED TO BE THERE BY 2:30 IS IT QUARANTINED? YEAH, IT'S THE QUARANTINE.
I THINK THERE'S A FLIGHT THAT WOULD GET US IN, LIKE AT 11:30 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT SEEMS FINE TO ME. AND THEN WE WOULD COME HOME SATURDAY.
YOU GUYS HAD WANTED A LITTLE LATER I THINK SO NOT.
WE'RE NOT RUSHING. RIGHT. YEAH. SO THERE'S AN AFTERNOON FLIGHT.
SO WHAT TIME DO THE SESSION? I KNOW WE WANT TIME TO OURSELVES, BUT IF IT'S AT NOON, OUR TIME TO OURSELVES COULD EVEN BE AT THE AIRPORT WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR OUR FLIGHT, RIGHT? SO IF WE LEFT IT WHATEVER TIME. YEAH. AN AFTERNOON.
YES. YEAH. I'D SAY PROBABLY 2:00 OR 2:00 OR LATER.
02:00 OR 3:00. AN AFTERNOON. YEAH. DID YOU GET HOTEL RESERVATIONS YET? COMES WITH THAT CONFIRMATION. OH, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT GOTCHA. BUT IT'S IN QUARANTINE. IT'S IN QUARANTINE.
I'LL DO IT. BUT I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THAT.
AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE.
SO LIKE FOR SOME OF YOU FOR MILES I HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR SOME OF YOU, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.
YEAH. OKAY. SO IF I DON'T HAVE IT ALL FOR YOU.
OKAY. AND I WANT TO MAKE YEAH. YEAH.
WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY? THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT AND THE TRAINING. YEAH, JUST THAT ONE THING. YEAH.
YEAH. UNLESS WE HAVE TO DO THE OPEN GOVERNMENT ONE, TOO BUT I THINK WE HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. YEAH. YOU CAN DO ONLINE.
IF THERE'S A LINK TO IT AND YOU CAN DO IT ONLINE. BECAUSE I THINK WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IS THAT'S WHEN WE BROUGHT SHAWN IN, AND THEN WE ALL JUST DO IT I MEAN, IF YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE ENOUGH TIMES, YOU'RE LIKE.
THAT'S TRUE. WE CAN ASK. WE'RE GOING TO MAX OUR TIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE HE IS, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NICE TO HAVE IT.
SO I JUST THINK IT'D BE NICE TO. IT'S BEEN A WHILE NO. YEAH. JUST THAT WAY. OKAY. WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? USUALLY I'M ONE OF THE NIGHTS WE DO A DINNER RESERVATION WELL, WE DON'T HAVE CHARTWELLS ANYMORE, SO WE DON'T GO TO THOSE ANYMORE.
YEAH. NO, BUT I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T A CHARTWELLS PERSON.
NO THAT. WE HAD ENTERTAINMENT AND STUFF. I REMEMBER WE HAD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THURSDAY NIGHT. FRIDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY NIGHT AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, LIKE, WHAT YOUR PREFERENCES ARE YEAH, I WILL. YEAH. THANKS, BAMINI. OKAY. PERFECT.
OKAY. SO NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS TALKING ABOUT OUR WASDA BREAKOUT SESSION.
[3. CULTURE]
[01:10:04]
I HAVE A HANDOUT. OH, AWESOME. YEAH, I SENT YOU AN ELECTRONIC COPY, SHAUNA SO.JUST IN CASE FOR POSTERITY, ANYBODY NEEDS IT.
THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN THE EXECUTIVE CONTENT.
I WROTE UP A LITTLE MORE JUST BECAUSE. SO JOHN AND I BOTH SUBMITTED.
JOHN DIDN'T GET LUCKY. [LAUGHTER]. SO WE MIGHT HAVE A SECOND.
I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU PUT. I THINK OUR THE ONE THAT I SUBMITTED WAS LIMITED TO THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, WHERE MATTHEW'S WAS DEFINITELY A MORE OF AN ECOSYSTEM, WHICH IS AWESOME SO.
OH, YOUR PROPOSAL WAS ACCEPTED SO COULD BE I'LL DOUBLE CHECK I ACCEPTED MY WAITLIST.
SO I WROTE OUT THE BREAKOUT DESCRIPTION HERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, I MEAN, THE TITLE BUILDING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ECOSYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.
IT'S ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH COMMITTEES. IT'S VERY WORDY.
I WORKED ON THAT BREAKOUT DESCRIPTION A LOT. I ACTUALLY TOOK A LOT OF THE SESSIONS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR THAT GOT ACCEPTED AND THEN ANALYZED THE WORDS BECAUSE I THOUGHT I'M REALLY BAD AT IT. SO BUT THE WAY THAT I KIND OF. SO THE TOP STUFF HERE IN PART ONE IS WHAT WAS SUBMITTED, RIGHT? LEARNER OUTCOMES, AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT AND SO FORTH.
PART TWO AND BEYOND IS JUST STUFF THAT I STARTED WORKING ON. LIKE HOW WOULD WE FIT THIS IN A 60 MINUTE SESSION? I THINK THERE'S LONGER SESSIONS, BUT I JUST PUT PUT IT AS THE 60 GOT ACCEPTED.
SO REALLY THE QUESTION IS WE DON'T HAVE TO DECIDE NOW HOW WE WANT TO DO IT.
THE QUESTION. SO PART TWO AND BEYOND IS JUST STUFF THAT I STARTED WRITING UP, LIKE QUESTIONS THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT AT, YOU KNOW, WORKSHOP OR WHATEVER. BUT DO WE WANT TO ACCEPT THIS? IT WOULD, I'D SAY, REQUIRE ALL OF US TO BE THERE TO SPEAK TO ONE COMMITTEE OR ANOTHER.
BUT REALLY, IT'S A WAY OF TRYING TO GET ENGAGEMENT TO PAIR OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH WE'VE GOTTEN LOTS OF KUDOS FOR WITH, I BELIEVE ONE OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS, WHICH IS OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY SO.
NOW, ONCE WE ACCEPT IT, THEN AT SOME POINT THEY'LL TELL US LIKE WHAT DAY AND WHAT TIME IT'S AT.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, DO WE? PART ONE IS WHAT I SUBMITTED.
IF YOU'RE OPEN TO SAYING YES, THEN I CAN ACCEPT IT.
THEN WE CAN WORK ON HOW WE WANT TO GET IT DONE.
SOME THOUGHTS. SO THIS IS JUST WHAT WE SUBMIT. YES. EVERYTHING IN PART ONE WAS WHAT WAS SUBMITTED, THE BREAKOUT DESCRIPTION OUTCOMES, AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT, AND THEN THE FORMAT. SO THEN WE JUST HAVE TO DISCUSS AS A GROUP HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
RIGHT. YEAH. FIRST WE JUST HAVE TO SAY IF WE IF WE'RE OKAY WITH THIS, I ACCEPT.
YEAH. AND THEN WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO ALL SIX OF US SAYING SOMETHING LIKE. WELL, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ALL SIX OF US.
I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT SECTION. I PUT ALL SIX OF US DOWN AS OUR NAMES ON IT.
WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT. YES. YEAH. WHAT WE DO LIKE PART TWO AND OTHER.
THAT'S JUST STUFF THAT I HAD STARTED WORKING ON A WHILE AGO. PART ONE.
I'M GOOD WITH WHAT WE NEED. I'M GOOD WITH PART ONE. YEAH. YES. AND OF COURSE THEN IF JOHN'S GETS ACCEPTED, THAT WOULD BE MORE ANOTHER ONE TO DO. BUT WE COULD ALSO SAY NO TO IF JOHN'S GETS ACCEPTED, HE COULD. HE COULD SAY WE ARE TOO STRESSED. WE HAVE TOO MUCH TO DO.
WE SAY YES. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LIKE, I COULD WORK WITH ONE OTHER PERSON AND WE COULD SAY, OKAY, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH. WE CAN PRESENT IT AT ANOTHER WORKSHOP IN SEPTEMBER AND THEN SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING. OR WE COULD SEND IT OUT FOR REVIEW AND SOMEBODY COULD SEND FEEDBACK TO THE ONE PERSON. BUT SO ALL WE'RE REALLY THINKING ABOUT IS PART ONE.
THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR US, TOO, BECAUSE ONCE WE DO ONE, OR IF WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, THEN OUR LIKELIHOOD OF FUTURE ONES JUST KIND OF GOES UP. BUT I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD STORY. I THINK IF LEGISLATIVE IS NOT SPOKEN ABOUT IT, THIS ONE, WE DEFINITELY WOULD WANT TO PUSH IT AT THE NEXT BECAUSE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THAT STORY, RIGHT? IT'S TOUGH. WELL, I THINK NEXT YEAR IT'S EASIER TO GET MORE PEOPLE UP THERE MAYBE.
[01:15:02]
BUT I'VE SEEN SOME DISTRICTS DO VIDEOS OF RECORDING PEOPLE TO GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK.SO THERE'S A LOT THAT WE COULD DO. THERE'S A LOT THAT ARE.
OKAY. THERE IS NO BILLS GAME WHILE WE'RE THERE JOHN.
YEAH. LAST TIME IT WAS LAST NIGHT IT WAS THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. RIGHT. AND THAT WAS. WELL THAT WRAPS UP OUR AGENDA FOR THIS WORKSHOP, SO WE ARE ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
