[1. WORKSHOP - 4:30 PM]
THIS WORKSHOP TO ORDER, WHICH WE PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO GAVEL. UM, WE WELCOME TO MONDAY 4:30 WORKSHOPS. UM, WE'RE GONNA DO SOME ADVISORY[2. CULTURE]
SUBCOMMITTEE BOARD DIRECTION FOR OUR FOUR BOARD SUBCOMMITTEES TODAY. THE ARTS ADVISORY, CITIZENS ADVISORY, LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, AND...SORRY, I CAN'T... AND THE STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY... HOW COME YOU'RE STILL ON-BOARD BOX? OKAY.
UM, WELL, GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. UM, AND UH, YEAH, WE HAVE UH, WE WANTED TO GET SOME BOARD DIRECTION, UH, FOR EACH OF THESE COMMITTEES. IT DOESN'T ALL HAVE TO BE DONE TODAY, UH, BUT JUST SOME CONVERSATION AROUND EACH OF THESE FOUR AND, AND KIND OF WHERE YOU WANT US TO HEAD AND, AND REALLY SOME PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES YOU WANT US TO SHARE WITH THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS WE GET ROLLING.
SO, THE, UM, THE DUE DATE, I BELIEVE NOW, IS THE 30TH, SHAUNA, UM, FOR ALL OF THESE, UH, COMMITTEES. WE DIDN'T PUT THE BUDGET COMMITTEE ON THERE BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WE HA- WE'RE GOING TO STICK WITH THE SAME COMMITTEE MEMBERS. UM, I HAD MENTIONED AT A COUPLE OF MY PARENT MEETINGS SO FAR THAT IF THERE WAS SOME, A PARENT, YOU KNOW, DYING TO GET ON THAT AND THEY REALLY, REALLY HAD INTEREST TO REACH OUT AND WE TALK THROUGH IT, BUT FOR CONSISTENCY'S SAKE, GOING INTO SOME SERIOUS LEVY CONVERSATION, WE'RE GOING TO STICK WI- UM, STICK WITH THE COMMITTEE WE HAVE, WE HAVE ALREADY, AND I THINK, UH, KIM AND I HAVE SOME GOOD DIRECTION ON THAT, UM, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ON THAT COMMITTEE. UM, SO I DIDN'T LIST THAT ONE, UH, BUT WITH ART, CITIZEN, LEGISLATIVE, AND SAC, WANTED TO KIND OF GET YOUR THOUGHTS IN AS WE BUILD THESE COMMITTEES OUT, REALLY WHAT YOU LIKE TO SEE. ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL PROJECTS? ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL OUTCOMES YOU WANT TO SEE, UM, AS, AS WE GET INTO OCTOBER, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHEN, WHEN WE'LL FIRST MEET WITH THEM. SO, UM, SO SHAUNA, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO ADD TO THAT? SO, IF WE CAN, CONNIE, IF YOU WANT TO START AT THE TOP AND JUST KIND OF GET ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS, UM, HOW DID YOU LIKE THE DIRECTION LAST YEAR? IS ANY CHANGES YOU WANT TO SEE? UM, WHAT'S GOING ON AS FAR AS WHERE YOU'RE THINKING ON THAT ONE? UM, WELL.
I THINK WE HAVE; WE HAVE 10 RETURNING MEMBERS. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE THAT DROPPED OFF, UM.
I'M SORRY, YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS THE FIR- WAS THAT.
YEAH, THE ARTS IS THE FIRST ONE.
UM, YEAH, TALKING ABOUT ARTS, COREY. SO, UM, WE HAVE 10 RETURNING MEMBERS, SO WE WILL OPEN UP APPLICATIONS FOR THAT ONE AND, AND LOOKING FOR SOME NEW MEMBERS.
REMEMBER, THAT'S THE ONLY COMMITTEE THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR S- OF SOMEBODY WHO HAS A BACKGROUND, UM, EITHER IN VIR- UH, VISUAL, VISUAL OR PERFORMING ARTS.
UM, AND IT'S ONLY, AND IT'S PRETTY LOOSE ON THAT TOO, AND I SHARE THAT WITH PARENTS WHEN I MEET WITH THEM, AS IT'S A LOOSE CONNECTION TO THE ARTS. AND WE'LL, WE'LL NEED, WE'LL NEED AT LEAST ONE CHAIR, IF NOT TWO, BECAUSE I THINK FAUNA FALLS OFF AND SARAH FELL, IS FALLING OFF, SO WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE, HAVE TWO OPENINGS FOR CHAIRS ON THAT ONE.
WELL, I, MY RECOLLECTION IS THE NEXT THING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WORK ON IS LIKE AN INVENTORY OF INSTRUMENTS AND SUCH IN THE DISTRICT, UM, AND THEN FROM THAT A, A, A LIKE A MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENT PLAN COULD BE DEVELOPED? SO, FAUNA, THAT'S BEEN, UM, ON FAUNA'S, YEAH, SHE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH GRIFFIN AND THE PRINCIPALS, UM, SHE'S, SHE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. UM, SO THE TWO TH- THE TWO BIG TASKS THAT SHE'S WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IS THE INVENTORY SIDE, AND SHE OBVIOUSLY CAN REPORT BACK TO THE, THE COMMITTEE, UM, THAT WAS ONE OF THE GOALS IS FOR THE COMMITTEE TO KIND OF SEE WHAT KIND OF EQUITABLE RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE FOR KIDS. AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS THE ARTS WEBSITE, WHICH, UM, SHOULD BE LAUNCHED IF IT'S NOT LAUNCHED YET. UM, WE GAVE IT A GREEN LIGHT THIS MORNING AT CABINET, SO A COUPLE LITTLE FINE TUNINGS, AND THEN WE'LL SEE AN ARTS WEBSITE THAT WILL BE A, A LINK FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WEBSITE. SO, UM, SO REALISTICALLY, WE'RE REALLY JUST WAITING FOR FAUNA TO HAVE THAT PREPARED FOR THE COMMITTEE, SO THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING THE INVENTORY, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO DEFINITELY GO THROUGH IT.
SO, MATTHEW AND COREY ARE ON THAT COMMITTEE, TRUE? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
I MEAN, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS, I THINK, THINKING BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE WORKING ON, UM, THE REPORT THAT WE HAD AT THE END OF THE YEAR. I THINK THAT'S STILL KIND OF THE DIRECTION THAT THEY'RE GOING. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS REALLY MUCH OF ANYTHING ELSE.
YEAH, I MEAN, WE HAVE 4 SUBCOMMITTEES, SO THOSE GROUPS ARE ALSO.
WEIGH IN, RIGHT? THE VISUAL ARTS, AND WE HAD, I THINK WE HAD SOME REALLY STRONG MOVEMENT ON ARTS DISCOVERY AND SOME, SOME THINGS THERE, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CONTINUE. UH, THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, A LOT OF THAT WAS GETTING SOME, SOME FEEDBACK. UH, THE MUSIC SUBCOMMITTEE AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. I THINK THE, THE COMMUNICATION WILL BE A BIG PART, NOT JUST THE WEBSITE,
[00:05:01]
BUT HOW, HOW WE GET A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO HELP FEED THAT INFORMATION IN. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT NEW. SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST HAVE ONE PERSON BE THE POINT PERSON, SO.YEAH, SO I, I FEEL LIKE, I FEEL LIKE THIS COMMITTEE, I MEAN, WE CAN KIND OF TALK ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST MEETING, BUT I THINK THEY'RE JUST KIND OF CONTINUING WHAT THEY WERE STILL WORKING ON LAST YEAR. I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY GIVE THEM ANY NEW.
I DON'T, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY NEW INITIATIVES FROM THEM.
NO, WE TOOK A LOT OF DIRECTION LAST YEAR.
THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE A PLAN.
IF THAT SHIFTS, THEN IT'S SOMETHING TO DISCUSS.
SO, WE'LL, YEAH, SO WE'LL, WE'LL DEFINITELY SELECT CHAIRS RIGHT AWAY ON THAT ONE SO WE CAN KIND OF KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.
OKAY. SO, THEN CAC, CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE. ANYTHING WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO FOCUS? THE ONLY THING I WAS THINKING WAS THAT WITH CITIZENS ADVISORY, UM, WE'VE, WE'VE STILL BEEN HEARING A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT OUR NEW CALENDAR.
SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING FOR THEM TO KIND OF REVISIT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN ALL-YEAR PROJECT, BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING FOR THEM TO BE TALKING ABOUT AND GOING OUT AND GATHERING MORE FEEDBACK ON THAT NOW THAT WE'RE IN YEAR TWO OF IT.
I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT ALSO. I THINK SPENDING SOME TIME ON THE CALENDAR, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT START TIMES AGAIN, OR AT LEAST JUST THINKING, UM, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME DOING THAT, BUT WE HAD THAT PRESENTATION FROM KELLY AND THEN BEFORE THEY LEFT, SO MAYBE THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR NOW. BUT, UM, BUT THEN ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TIME TO WORK ON ANY AI STUFF, IF WE WANT THEM WORKING ON ANY OF THAT FOR US.
YEAH, SO THOSE ARE GREAT. UM, WE, UH, TRACY MET WITH STEVEN, UH, ME AND, UM, ADAM MATHESON. I THINK DER- DEREK WAS IN THERE. WE HAD A GREAT MEETING AND SOME, SOME GOOD, GOOD, UM, TOPICS THAT CAME UP. AND SO, IF WE, THE, THE CALENDAR DEFINITELY, I, I DEFINITELY SEE THAT BEING A TOPIC AND BRINGING THE BOARD SOME OPTIONS, UM, THAT POTENTIALLY STILL HAVE THE FEBRUARY BREAK, MAYBE ONE THAT DOESN'T. UM, I, I KIND OF WANTED TO GET YOUR FEELING ON THAT.
WE, WE THOUGHT IN, IN HAVING A SURVEY PUT OUT WOULD BE IN- INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK ON THAT. UM, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, IF WE DO, IF WE DO LOOK AT, UM, YOU KNOW, CHANGES, I THINK THANKSGIVING WEEK IS, IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT. SO, WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT LOOKING AT SOME OPTIONS FOR CAC TO DIG, TO DIG THROUGH. UM, AS FAR AS AI, IT'S A GREAT COMMENT. SO, WE WERE CONSIDERING PUTTING OUT SOME GUIDANCE FOR PARENTS, BUT I, UM, I TALKED TO DEREK, AND WE DECIDED THAT WE'LL WAIT TO BRING BACK TO CAC KIND OF WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH, THE WORK WE'VE DONE WITH EDT, SOME OF THE WORK WE'VE DONE WITH OUR PRINCIPALS, KIND OF LET THEM KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DID AROUND PROVIDING PARENT GUIDANCE, BUT BEFORE WE PUT ANYTHING OUT, REVISIT IT WITH THEM AND SAY, IS THIS KIND OF WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOU? LET THEM DIG INTO IT, PROBABLY RIGHT IN OUR FIRST MEETING IN OCTOBER, UM, AND THEN, AND THEN WE WOULDN'T PUT ANYTHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY UNTIL THEY KIND OF GIVE US THEIR STAMP OF APPROVAL. DEREK, DOES THAT SOUND? YEAH, ON A, ON AI. SO THOSE, THOSE TWO FOR SURE. THE BELL SCHEDULE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY UP TO YOU. THAT COULD, THAT COULD OPEN UP A PRETTY BIG CAN OF WORMS. UM, IF, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO BACK AND CONTINUE TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON, YOU KNOW, WHO ARE THESE STUDENTS THAT ARE, ARE, ARE MISSING THE, THE, THE LATTER PART OF THE DAY? IS IT ALL STUDENTS? IS IT JUST A HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE? IS IT AN ATHLETIC ISSUE? IS IT AN EVENT? IS THERE SOME TRUE VALIDITY TO THAT? BECAUSE ONCE WE GO DOWN THAT ROAD, I, I JUST, I WONDER, IS, UH, UH, IS THE BOARD GOING TO WANT US TO REALLY DIVE INTO CHANGING BELL TIMES AGAIN, POTENTIALLY, UM.
I THINK THESE TWO, SORRY, THESE TWO SHOULD PROBABLY BE ENOUGH FOR THEM, AND MAYBE IT ISN'T BELL TIME, BUT IT COULD BE MORE LIKE ATTENDANCE, RIGHT? LIKE, WHAT, WHAT'S CAUSING, WHAT, WHEN ARE KIDS MISSING SCHOOL, AND WHAT TIME ARE THEY MI- I DON'T KNOW, BUT MAYBE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING FOR CIC TO, UM, CIC TO DIG INTO, BUT, UM, I THINK IF WE LOOKED AT ATTENDANCE, THAT MIGHT GIVE US AN ANSWER TO SOME THINGS OR LET US DIG FURTHER INTO OTHER THINGS IF WE KNEW WHAT GRADES KIDS, WHAT CLASSES KIDS WERE MISSING, WHAT TIME OF DAY. I MEAN, MAYBE, MAYBE ITS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS MISSING FOR, AND WE DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST HIGH SCHOOL.
ARE YOU THINKING MORE SECONDARY, ELEMENTARY, OR THE WHOLE.
COULD JUST BE ANYONE, BUT, UM.
BUT IF WE FLIPPED A BELL KIT SCHEDULE, IT WOULD IMPACT EVERYBODY.
AND I WOULD WANT, I MEAN, OUR WE CAC, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME RESEARCHING WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS FOR THE BELL SCHEDULE AND DID A LOT OF WORK AND FLIPPED IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWED WAS BEST FOR KIDS. AND SO, I WOULD BE REALLY HESITANT TO SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND MAYBE CHANGE IT.
[00:10:05]
THE RESEARCH AND, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER WHY WE FLIP TO THAT AND DIG INTO WHAT IS REALLY THE ROOT PROBLEM. IS IT A WIAA PROBLEM BECAUSE OUR START TIME CONFLICTS WITH GETTING OUR KIDS TO GAMES? IS IT OUR BEGINNING OF WHEN WE START SCHOOL CONFLICTS WITH THE FIRST DAY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRY OUT FOR STUFF? AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S BEST FOR ALL KIDS AND NOT THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WIAA IS PUTTING ON US, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THEN MAYBE WE GO TO THEM.AND PUSH. UM, BUT I WANT TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON WHAT RESEARCH SAYS IS BEST FOR KIDS.
WELL, IT ALSO COULD BE, I KNOW WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, LIKE, WHAT PERIODS ARE FIFTH AND SIXTH PERIOD, RIGHT? ARE PEOPLE MISSING ELECTIVES FIFTH AND SIXTH PERIOD, AND WOULD THEY MISS A MATH CLASS FIFTH OR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO, I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE REASONS WHY KIDS ARE MISSING THAT PART OF THE SCHOOL DAY. SO, AND, AND AGAIN, I THINK IF WE HAD CAC LOOK AT THIS CALENDAR AND AI, LIKE, THAT'S PROBABLY PLENTY FOR THEM TO LOOK AT FOR A YEAR, RIGHT? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO GIVE THEM TOO MANY THINGS.
DIDN'T THEY ALREADY LOOK AT AI? DIDN'T WE? THEY SPENT SOME TIME ON IT, SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE IT NOT BEING THE WHOLE YEAR, TRACY, BUT MAYBE THE FIRST MONTH OR TWO, UM, TO HELP REALLY CRAFT THAT PARENT GUIDANCE DOCUMENT THAT GOES OUT. SO, WE HAVE SOME GUIDANCE FROM EDT, THAT PARTNERSHIP WE HAD, THE WORK THAT DEREK AND THE AI CHAMPIONS HAVE DONE.
THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T REALLY PUT OUT YET IS SOMETHING SOLIDIFIED FROM THE DISTRICT, LIKE HERE, HERE IS THE PLATFORM THAT WE'RE DIRECTING. HERE IS WHAT THE AMOUNT OF US, YOU KNOW, AI TIME WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR K3 VERSUS 5-9 OR WHATEVER. I MEAN, WE'VE, WE'VE SEEN DISTRICTS AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ARE BANNING AT, AT ELEMENTARY LEVELS, YOU KNOW, ARE WE LOOKING TO GO THAT ROUTE? SO, I THINK BETWEEN CAC IN OCTOBER, POTENTIALLY THEN, DEPENDING ON THE DATE OF THAT MEETING, BRINGING IT BACK TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER, THE NOVEMBER WORKSHOP TO TALK THROUGH IT. I JUST WANNA, I WANNA MAKE SURE OUR COMMUNITY, THAT'S THE ONLY PUSHBACK THAT WE'RE SEEING AROUND THE COUNTRY, AROUND THE STATE ON AI, IS THAT DISTRICTS ARE MAKING THESE DECISIONS WITHOUT A LOT OF PARENT INPUT. SO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE LISTENING, AND SO I APPRECIATE DEREK AND EDT KIND OF HOLDING, UM, UNTIL WE DO THAT. SO, SO THAT WOULD BE THE PLAN. IF, IF THERE'S MORE THAT WE HAVE TO DIG INTO WITH AI, WE CERTAINLY CAN, BUT I ALMOST FEEL LIKE BY NOVEMBER WE, WE MIGHT BE READY TO MOVE ON WITH THE PARENT PIECE OF AI.
WE CAN CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION, AND I'LL BET YOU IT WILL BE BROUGHT UP ON WORD ON THE STREET PART, UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW AS FAR AS GUIDANCE FROM THE F- PARENTS MORE THAN THAT, UM, IS GOING TO BE M- MORE PAST NOVEMBER.
IT WOULD BE, I THINK AS THE PARENTS WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT SORT OF AI IS BEING USED BY TEACHERS. AND WE'VE HEARD IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY USING AI TO GRADE PAPERS? ARE THEY USING IT TO CREATE LESSONS? AND SORT OF A LIKE, HERE, HERE'S, HERE'S THE DISTRICT ACCEPTABLE USES OF AI IN THE DISTRICT BY OUR EDUCATORS. HERE'S WERE WE'RE NOT ENGAGING, AND KIND OF THE SAME THING WITH KIDS AND STUDENTS. I MEAN, I TALK TO STUDENTS ALL THE TIME.
THEY'RE LIKE, WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO USE AI AT ALL. AND I'M LIKE, WELL, THERE ARE SOME USES THAT COULD BE POSITIVE. YOU'RE NOT USING AI TO DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU AND CREATE, DO YOUR CREATIVE THINKING, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE, WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES AND, AND HOW SH- HOW CAN PARENTS HELP? I MEAN, HALF THE TIME OUR KIDS KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THAN WE DO, UM, BUT YEAH, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT GUIDANCE TO PARENTS, KNOWING WHAT THE KIDS ARE HEARING AND LEARNING IN SCHOOL.
AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE, I GUESS, THAT IF THEY DO THAT, WE GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME FOR THE CALENDAR BECAUSE WE VOTE ON THE CALENDAR IN, LIKE, FEBRUARY. IS THAT RIGHT, SHAUNA? VOTED ON A 2-YEAR CALENDAR, THOUGH.
NO, BUT THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR.
THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR WE'RE IN.
SO, WE'LL HAVE A NEW CALENDAR, SO IF THEY DON'T START THE CALENDAR TALK UNTIL NOVEMBER, AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF THEY MEET IN DECEMBER. I GUESS JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DIG INTO THE CALENDAR PART IF, IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT OUT TO VOTE IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TIMING.
YEAH, WE CAN PROBABLY, WE CAN PROBABLY GET SOME OPTIONS TO THEM, AND DO YOU THINK IN THE OCTOBER ONE, IF NOT THIS NOVEMBER? NOVEMBER, AND THEN MAYBE REVISIT IN DECEMBER, AND THEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GETTING IT TO YOU GUYS IN JANUARY THIS YEAR RATHER THAN AS EARLY AS LAST TIME.
IF JANUARY, WE THOUGHT WAS A GOOD, HAPPY MEDIUM, BECAUSE SHAUNA WILL TELL YOU, AND I THINK GAIL USED TO SAY THE SAME THING, WE ARE ALREADY GETTING CALLS ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S CALENDAR, UM, FOR PEOPLE IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY WHO HAVE TO PUT THEIR DAYS IN AS EARLY AS JANUARY OF 2027 FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. SO, I KNOW, I KNOW FAMILIES NEED TO KNOW. SO, WE THOUGHT JANUARY WOULD BE A GOOD TIME, TRACY, OR EVEN FEBRUARY, YEAH.
AND WITH THAT DISCUSSION, I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE, UM, COMMUNITY ED BECAUSE THE W- ORIGINALLY
[00:15:02]
THE, THE MORE BALANCED CALENDAR DISCUSSION INCLUDED SOME, LIKE, INTERCESSIONS OR SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO GET SOME REMEDIATION OR GET CAUGHT UP. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE NO FUNDS FOR THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT I WONDER IF WE CAN PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ED, OUR, OUR COMMUNITY ED TO, WHAT ARE THEY OFFERING DURING THOSE WEEKS, AND ARE THERE SOME THINGS, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR YOUNG READERS OR KIDS THAT NEED A LITTLE CATCHING UP.UM, BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE IDEAL THINGS ABOUT ADDING THESE BREAKS, IS IT'S A LITTLE EXTRA TIME FOR KIDS TO CATCH UP BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR AND GOING TO SUMMER SCHOOL.
YEAH, LAST YEAR WE, UM, DEFINITELY OFFERED SOME CAMPS.
IT WAS PROBABLY MOSTLY AROUND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
UM, WE DIDN'T DELVE INTO TOO MUCH OF THE ACADEMIC PIECE, UM, BUT AGAIN, I, I THINK BEFORE WE START TO DESIGN THAT, I NEED TO KNOW, LIKE, BASED ON PARENT INPUT, YOUR INPUT, IS THE FEBRUARY BREAK SOMETHING THAT WE'RE STILL GOING TO STICK TO? AND, AND WE, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED SURVEY RESULTS ON THAT. SO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BASE SOME OF THIS ON JUST ONE YEAR OF FEEDBACK, BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THAT DATA IN BEFORE THIS COMING FEBRUARY BREAK. SO, I WISH WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, UM, BUT WE DON'T.
ALL RIGHT. UM, LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE.
AND I, AND I WAS JUST GONNA ADD ONE THING. I THINK ALSO AN ORGANIC KIND OF TOPIC WILL PROBABLY.
COME UP TOO, RIGHT? SO, UM, YEAH, LEGISLATIVELY, UH, OBVIOUSLY HUGE SESSION COMING UP IN JANUARY. UM, AS YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR LAC HAS IS, IS ORGANIZING A S- CANDIDATE FORUM, WHICH SUPER EXCITED ABOUT.
UH, CORY'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL ON THAT AS WELL. UM, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A ZOOM THURSDAY, A 30-MINUTE ZOOM, UH, TO KIND OF JUST, YOU KNOW, ORGANIZE LAST-MINUTE ORGANIZATIONS. UH, GWEN TOUSSAINT IS REALLY TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS, UM, AND SHE HAS QUITE A FEW CANDIDATES THAT ARE GOING TO BE HERE. SO, WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AFTER THURSDAY. YEAH, RIGHT NOW IT'S OCTOBER 5TH IN THE EVENING, AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL, KIND OF AT THE LEARNING STAIR AREA.
UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE START TIME. I WANTED TO SAY 6 TO 8.
6 TO 8. I- I- IT'S ON MY CALENDAR, I CAN DOUBLE CHECK THAT. UM, BUT UM, SO CANDIDATE FORUM WILL BE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT NEW FOR US. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE LEGISLATIVE TOWN HALL BECAUSE THOSE CANDIDATES ALREADY BEEN ELECTED.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD LOVE TO DO THE RECEPTION AGAIN.
THIS WOULD BE, I THINK, OUR FOURTH ANNUAL, UM, RECEPTION, AND THAT'S TYPICALLY IN NOVEMBER. IT'S KIND OF LIKE, REMEMBER THAT SEND OFF THAT WE DO BEFORE THE LEGISLATORS HEAD OFF, AND WE DO THAT LATE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO IT AFTER WE REALLY KNOW WHO THE CANDIDATE OR WHO THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE.
SO WE TYPICALLY DO IT LIKE A WEEK OR TWO AFTER ELECTION DAY, AND SO WE CAN HAVE A LOT OF IT SET, UM, AND THEN, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SOLIDIFY THINGS ONCE THE CANDIDATES ARE ELECTED. UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, WE HAVE TALKED AT LENGTH WI- AT WITH MY SOUP GROUP AROUND PRIORITIES. UM, EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE REALLY ON BOARD WITH WHAT WASA IS RECOMMENDING AS FAR AS OUR PRIORITIES. UM, SO I, I BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC OF REGIONALIZATION, AND I THINK THAT THE TEAM IS DEFINITELY ON BOARD. UM, IF, LIKE, OUR DISTRICT DECIDED TO DO A 3 PLUS 1, LIKE COREY SUGGESTED, UM, OTHER DISTRICTS MIGHT DO, DO THAT AS WELL, UM, BUT REALLY STICKING TO THOSE BIG 3, AND INSTEAD OF TRANSPORTATION SUBSTITUTE COSTS AND THEN MSOCS AND SPED. UM, SO REALLY ON THAT, I JUST WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR DIRECTION IS ON PRIORITIES. IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE 3 PLUS 01, THEN WE CAN GO INTO, UM, OUR FIRST LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT OUR BOARD WOULD LIKE TO DO. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? UM, AND THEN START TO DESIGN OUR FLYER, BRING IT BACK TO YOU FOR YOUR GREEN LIGHT, AND THEN GO FROM THERE. UM, SO WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF TALK AROUND IF THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO LAND. PROBABLY BE BEST IF WE DO STICK TO THAT BIG THREE AND THEN WANT TO ADD ONE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. UM, AND SO THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE THEN WOULD, WOULD SOLIDIFY, HELP SOLIDIFY OUR PRIORITIES, AND THEN WE, OUR PLAN WOULD BE TO TRY TO GET TO OLYMPIA AGAIN, UH, DURING MAYBE ONCE BEFORE THE SESSION, POSSIBLY, AND THEN, OF COURSE, ONCE DUR- AT LEAST ONCE DURING THE SESSION.
I WAS GOING TO SAY THE ONE THING THAT FOR LAC THAT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO START WORKING ON EARLIER IS THAT, GETTING A SCHEDULE TOGETHER SO THAT PEOPLE CAN START BLOCKING OUT CALENDAR DATES, AND, UM, ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING A LONGER SESSION.
LAST YEAR, WE WERE KIND OF, THE COMMITTEE WAS KIND OF CAUGHT A LITTLE FLAT-FOOTED, AND.
WE DIDN'T, WE, I DON'T THINK OUR ADVOCACY, THE, THE TRIPS UP THERE WEREN'T AS,
[00:20:01]
UM, I DON'T KNOW, THERE WASN'T AS MUCH OF A TURNOUT, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY OF THEM EITHER. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE FOCUS ON THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF LIKE, REALLY, LET'S LOOK AT THE LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR AND LET'S DECIDE RIGHT NOW WHEN WOULD BE THE GOOD TIMES TO GO, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ON THE, ON THE LONG SESSIONS, THE LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR IS BASICALLY GOING TO BE THE SAME EACH TIME. SO, UM, PLANNING THAT OUT AND, AND MAYBE REALLY FOCUSING ON, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF TRAINING THE COMMITTEE ON, YOU KNOW, MORE OF LIKE HOW TO HAVE THOSE IMPACTFUL INTERACTIONS AND KIND OF EFFICIENT INTERACTIONS WITH, WITH THE LEGISLATORS.OKAY. DEREK, DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ON, ON THAT? ANY, ANY VISION FOR THIS YEAR'S LAC? (INAUDIBLE) YEAH, I KNOW ONE OF THE TARGETS THIS YEAR WAS TO TRY TO INTERACT WITH M- MORE OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE FOLKS RATHER THAN JUST SOLELY OUR CURRENT REPS.
SO, I THOUGHT THAT WAS SMART, UM, THOUGH, AND THE WE'VE ALREADY HAD HAD A REALLY, YOU KNOW, I THINK A, AN ENGAGING MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE SANTOS. UM, DEREK'S HEADING UP, UH, TO A, A PRETTY IMPORTANT MEETING THURSDAY UP IN SEATTLE, UM, SO THAT, THAT HE'LL HOPEFULLY BRING US BACK, UH, A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION TOO ON WHERE WE'RE GOING. YEAH, AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, UM, WASHOUGAL IS STARTING THEIR OWN NOW, UH, BASED ON, THEY'RE INSPIRED BY US, AND, UM, EVERGREEN, UM, CHRISTINE TOLD ME, UH, THAT THEY'RE FORMING ONE AS WELL. SO, IT'S STARTING TO SPREAD. IT'S A LITTLE SLOWER THAN I, I WOULD HAVE WANTED, BUT HEY, IT'S, IT'S 2 MORE DISTRICTS POTENTIALLY. BATTLEGROUND IS REALLY, REALLY INTERESTED TOO. THEY HAVE SOME OF THEIR OWN ISSUES THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH, BUT I, I KNOW SHELLY HAS TALKED TO ME EXTENSIVELY ABOUT FORMING, SO, UM, IT'S STARTING TO, TO TRICKLE INTO THE REGION, HAVING YOUR OWN PERSONAL COMMITTEES, SO GOOD STUFF.
SO STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE? THOUGHTS? GIVE SOME THOUGHTS.
I GUESS, SHANA, WHAT'S THEIR...
THEIR FIRST MEETING ISN'T UNTIL LIKE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER, I THINK.
UM, YEAH, WE'RE HAVING A... WE GET TO ONE ACTUALLY WITH EVERYONE AND THEN GO DOWN TO THE GET TO KNOW YOU DOCUMENT AND WE'LL KIND OF START THE GROUNDWORK OF WHAT IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO DO THIS YEAR, BUT IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO GET SOME SORT OF DIRECTION FROM YOU ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE STUDENTS? LIKE, IS THERE A FOCUS THAT YOU HAVE FOR THEM TO BE WORKING TOWARDS? THIS COULD BE ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HELP THEM, GUIDE THEM WHEN THEY'RE DOING THE, UM, I CAN'T CALL IT THE.
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I'M THINKING I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO WORK ON WHAT CAC IS WORKING ON TOO, LIKE AI AND THE SCHOOL CALENDAR, THE START TIMES AND, UM, THE ATHLETIC TIMES AND MISSING CLASSES AND DIVE INTO ATTENDANCE AND HEAR THEIR VOICE AND PERSPECTIVE ON THAT.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S KIND OF GOOD. I KIND OF LIKE WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING SIMILAR BECAUSE THEN WE'RE GETTING LIKE THE ADULTS IN THE CAC AND WE'RE GETTING THE STUDENTS, UM, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO THE EXACT SAME THINGS.
BECAUSE THEN WE'VE REACHED OUT TO TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
WE GIVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE SAME DATA, AND LIKE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THAT? WHAT, WHERE WILL YOU DIVE IN? WHAT'S YOUR VOICE ON THAT? WHAT IF, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THEIR EXPERIENCE? USUALLY PRETTY HONEST IN GIVING FEEDBACK, SO.
I THINK THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I COULD SEE FROM CITIZENS AS PARENTS THINKING ABOUT IT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY KIDS ATTEND, VERSUS STUDENTS.
TO THE STUDENTS, IT'S ABOUT THEIR SENSE OF BELONGING, AND ARE THEY NOT COMING IN BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL A SENSE OF IT? TO THE PARENTS, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, MY KID'S NOT, NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL IT. SO, WE MIGHT WANT TO ASK OR CONSIDER A DIFFERENT SET OF QUESTIONS, BECAUSE WHAT WAS THE ONES THAT WE, WE ASKED LAST YEAR THAT WHEN THEY FILLED THEM ON THE PAPER, THEY WERE ON THE GROUND, AND THEY GAVE STRONG FEEDBACK ABOUT, THAT WAS AT THE LEADERSHIP ONE. AND THEY HAD SOME VERY STRONG POINTED FEEDBACK, BUT I THINK IF WE WERE TO ASK STUDENTS, ARE THEY NOT ATTENDING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT, OR IS IT, IS THERE SOMETHING PRESENT IN THE SCHOOLS OR ABSENT THAT IS NOT MAKING THEM FEEL... I THINK IT ALIGNS BETTER WITH MTSS. WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE ASK STUDENTS.
BUT IT, BUT WAS IT, ISN'T IT REALLY SPECIFICALLY FIFTH AND SIXTH PERIOD THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE ASK LAST.
YEAH, IS THAT OUR, IS THAT OUR, I MEAN, I GUESS IS OUR CONCERN OVERALL ATTENDANCE, OR IS IT JUST THE ATTENDANCE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE ACTIVITIES? WELL, BOTH, BUT MORE ACUTELY, WHAT THOSE TEACHERS BROUGHT TO US WAS THE ASK TO MOVE BACK TO OUR OLD SCHEDULE BECAUSE SO MANY KIDS WERE MISSING FIFTH AND SIXTH PERIOD.
AND, AND, AND THE, THE IDEA WAS IT'S BECAUSE OF S- SPORTS AND DIFFERENT GAMES AND
[00:25:01]
THAT KIND OF STUFF, AND SO, AND ACTIVITIES. AND SO TO DIVE IN, YOU KNOW, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THAT DATA, AND IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE FINDING, OR IS IT KIND OF, DO PEOPLE SNEAK OFF AT LUNCH AND NEVER COME BACK, OR ARE THEY CUTTING CLASS? I DON'T KNOW. ARE THEY, YOU KNOW, IS IT A REAL PROBLEM? AND, I MEAN, CAUSE BECAUSE I, I FEEL LIKE WE, WE TOOK SOME DATA AND, UM, CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION, AND I'M NOT SURE, NOT OR THE SOLUTION, THE IDEA THAT MAYBE IF WE FLIPPED IT BACK, IT WOULD BE BETTER. I DON'T KNOW. UM, I, I WANT TO KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE, UM, FROM STUDENTS AND CITIZENS AND EDUCATORS BEFORE WE THROW ALL THE DATA ASIDE AND ALL THE RESEARCH THAT SAID THIS WAS A GOOD THING. AND I THINK ALMOST ALL THE DISTRICTS IN OUR COUNTY DID THAT SWITCH, EXCEPT FOR.I DON'T THINK BATTLEGROUND DID IT. SO I, I DO THINK REGARDLESS, IF WE DID ALL THIS RESEARCH AND WE DECIDED TO SWITCH BACK, IT MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE START TIME OF SOME OF THE EVENTS AFTER SCHOOL.
BECAUSE UNTIL EVERYONE IN CLARK COUNTY HAS THE SAME END TIME, IT'S STILL GOING TO MESS UP. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GAMES.
IF IT'S EVERYBODY BUT ONE DISTRICT.
BUT THEN WHENEVER WE PLAYED THEM OR WE HAD ACTIVITIES WITH THEM, WE'D HAVE TO HAVE...
MAYBE IT WAS, YEAH, BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE OUT OF SO MANY GAMES, WHATEVER, I THINK. BUT KNOWING EXACTLY, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS BEFORE WE COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS, AND SO THAT THE BROADER VOICE.
ONE OF, ONE OF THE THINGS, AND TRACY, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THAT COACH MATHESON BROUGHT UP IS THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS ON EARLY RELEASE DAYS, UM, WHO ARE LEAVING CAMPUS AND THEN NOT COMING BACK FOR CLUBS OR ACTIVITIES OR MISSING PRACTICES, UH, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. AND I, AND I DO REMEMBER AS A, AS A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HAVING AN EARLY START IN A WALKING COMMUNITY WHERE WE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM, WHERE KIDS WOULD WALK HOME AND THEN, FOR WHATEVER REASON, EITHER NOT HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO COME BACK OR, OR NOT COME BACK AT ALL. SO, ONE OF MY THOUGHTS WAS, IF WE SWITCH BACK EARLY, DOES THAT CAUSE AN EVEN LARGER GAP BETWEEN THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY AND THE TIME THE EVENT STARTS? WELL, THAT WAS JUST.
GOING BACK TO LATE STARTS INSTEAD OF EARLY.
THAT'S WHAT SHE- THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, IS JUST SWITCHING THE WEDNESDAY, INSTEAD OF HAVING EARLY RELEASE DAYS, SWITCH BACK TO LATE START DAYS.
AND THAT'D BE LIKE A SIMPLE THING, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEN, AND I THINK WE SWITCHED, WE TALKED ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF BUSING OR TRANSPORTATION, BUT HE DID SAY, UM, THE AMOUNT OF KIDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ON A LATE START DAY, NOT JUST SPORTS, BUT ANYTHING. IF YOU HAVE LIKE BAND PRACTICE OR YOU HA- YOU HAVE ANYTHING, IT'S LIKE GETTING THE KIDS TO COME BACK AFTER THEY'VE LEFT, YOU, SO THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT.
NOT, AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF TRACTION AROUND SWITCHING BACK TO LATE STARTS. I THINK THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING WE CAN TALK TO CAC AND SAC ABOUT. MY POINT WAS THAT MY WONDER IS WHEN THE HIGH SCHOOL TIME WAS EARLIER BEFORE THE CHANGE, WAS THERE AN EVEN LARGER GAP BETWEEN THE KIDS GETTING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND THOSE EVENTS STARTING, OR WERE THOSE EVENTS STARTING EARLIER TOO? WELL, WEREN'T YOU SAYING THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IF THE EVENTS, LIKE A GAME, WHAT TIME DOES A GAME TYPICALLY START, LIKE A, A SPORT, UM, EVENT? WELL, I FEEL LIKE IT USED TO START AT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER, BUT THERE WAS A TIME WHERE THE KIDS WOULD GET OUT OF SCHOOL, OR MAYBE THEY LEAVE A LITTLE BIT EARLY FOR AN AWAY GAME, UM, BUT WHO WE PLAY HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT, AND HOW FAR WE HAVE TO GO AND HOW EARLY THEY NEED TO LEAVE, UM, BUT STILL I FEEL LIKE WE WENT LATER, BUT THOSE START TIMES OF GAMES AND THINGS NEVER CHANGED.
OKAY, SO THE PRACTICES JUST STARTED EARLIER.
JUST WOULD START UP RIGHT AFTER.
GOT IT. I WASN'T SURE IF THOSE WERE A SET, A LATER SET TIME TOO.
AND WE WOULD NEED A REGIONAL CHANGE THEN, POTENTIALLY.
OR, YEAH, AN AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL, WILL MOVE THEM TO THIS TIME. YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW. I, I'D LIKE TO SEE, LIKE, WHEN ARE THE TIMES IN THE DIFFERENT SPORTS? WHEN, WHEN DO THE GAMES START? WHERE ARE ALL THE SCHOOLS THAT WE PLAY? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE TRAVEL TIME? YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING FARTHER THAN WE USED TO, SO WE HAVE TO LEAVE EVEN EARLIER. UM, SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE SOME KIDS WOULD LEAVE REALLY EARLY AND GET THERE A LONG TIME BEFORE THEIR EVENT, IN WHICH CASE, WHY ARE WE DOING THAT? AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BECAUSE OF BUSING.
OUR TRANSPORTATION SCHEDULE. I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT, W- IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE WHERE THE CORRELATIONS ARE AND WHAT'S CAUSING IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE MAYBE WE CAN MAKE SOME LITTLE TWEAKS THAT WOULD SOLVE, I DON'T KNOW, WITHOUT THE DATA, I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST SPIT BALLING.
BUT ONCE WE HAVE THE DASHBOARD, WE'LL HAVE MORE DATA ON ATTENDANCE, RIGHT? YEAH.
RIGHT? SO, LIKE, WE COULD EVEN JUST LOOK AT THAT AND BE LIKE, OH, YEAH.
I THINK, I STILL THINK THE TWO ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT ON ATTENDANCE BECAUSE THE ATTENDANCE PROBLEM OF STUDENTS NOT COMING TO SCHOOL IS A HIGHER PRIORITY, IN MY OPINION, THAN ONE WHERE STUDENTS, STUDENTS ARE NOT CHOOSING TO LEAVE FIFTH AND SIXTH.
WE'RE AUTHORIZING THEM TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF THE PARTICIPATION. SO THAT SOUNDS LIKE, TO ME, MORE
[00:30:01]
OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE, LIKE, DISCUSSION, BUT FOR US, IF WE THINK ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT FOR WHY ARE STUDENTS NOT COMING TO SCHOOL, I WOULD, I WOULD RANK THAT WAY HIGHER ON A PRIORITY BECAUSE THAT'S LACKING A SENSE OF PURPOSE, UNLESS PARENTS ARE AUTHORIZING IT, LIKE, I DON'T CARE, JUST DON'T SHOW UP, BUT THERE, THERE'S CLEARLY A SENSE OF PURPOSE THAT IS DRIVING THAT, AND IT'S NOT.FULLY AGREE, TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. I WAS JUST FOCUSING ON THAT ONE JUST BECAUSE THAT THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION TO FLIP OUR TIMES BACK, AND BEFORE WE WOULD TALK ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT.
I THINK ATTENDANCE NATIONWIDE IS, IS A HUGE ISSUE RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S JUST PART OF ME THINKING, LIKE, WE HAD THE STUDENT ADVISORY ASKING THEM FOR THE.
THE LATTER PART OF WHAT, WHAT IS CAUSING STUDENTS NOT TO COME? WHAT COULD, WHAT CAUSED YOU NOT TO? WHAT'S IS IT, IS IT A MATTER OF PEOPLE LETTING YOU CHOOSE THAT? BECAUSE OUR STANDARD IS CHANGING IN THE POLICY, RIGHT, BOTH FOR NOT BEING IN SCHOOL AND LEAVING EARLY, RIGHT? UM, BUT I DO WONDER IF ASKING THE STUDENTS TO LEAN IN ON THAT SENSE OF BELONGING REASON OF WHAT, WHAT IS CAUSING YOU OR YOUR PEERS NOT TO ATTEND? YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO THE OTHER ROUTE, WHICH IS JUST HAVE A PRIZE AND BE LIKE, LET'S TRY TO HAVE A, HAVE THIS.
BUT THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE, THE ISSUE OF, OF MTSS, WHERE NOW YOU'RE, NOW YOU'RE COMING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF PEER PRESSURE.
DID WE GET ENOUGH DIRECTION? YOU'RE GOOD, SHAUNA? OKAY.
ALL RIGHT, SO, UH, SOME GOOD NEWS AND THEN A LITTLE BIT DELAYED NEWS. SO APPARENTLY, WE ARE THE ONLY BOARD ASKING FOR BOARD ACCESS, WHICH I THINK IS A GREAT THING.
SO, FOR THE DASH, FOR HAVING BOARD, BOARD ACCESS.
NO ONE ASKS? THAT ACCORDING TO OUR, ACCORDING TO OUR REP, UM, AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING THAT AS A BAD, SHE'S JUST SAYING THIS IS KIND OF NEW TERRITORY FOR THEM. I KNOW, I KNOW. UM, SO, SO THEY NEED JUST UNTIL THE OCTOBER WORKSHOP, IF THAT IS OKAY. WE'RE REALLY CLOSE. WE MET DEREK AND I, UH, GRIFFIN, ACTUALLY DEREK WASN'T IN THAT MEETING, GRIFFIN AND I, UH, KATIE, UM, LINDY FROM OUR STUDENT INFORMATION, AND THERE'S JUST A COUPLE MORE TWEAKS WE WANT TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE WHAT I THINK AND YOU THINK WE NEED, UM, WITHOUT GIVING YOU SO MUCH ACCESS THAT WE START GETTING INTO RABBIT HOLES THAT NONE OF US WANT TO GO DOWN. UM, AND SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE. YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ACCOUNT NOW, UM, YOU'RE SO YOU'RE IN THIS, YOU'RE IN OUR SYSTEM, UH, BUT IT'S JUST NOT A GREEN LIGHT YET. SO, IF YOU COULD JUST BE A LITTLE PATIENT, WE'RE REALLY CLOSE, BUT I WOULD TELL YOU BY OCTOBER WORKSHOP, WE SHOULD BE ROCKING AND ROLLING. MY GOAL WOULD BE TO HAVE BRIE COME BACK, DIG INTO YOUR OWN BOARD ACCOUNT, AND SEE IF IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. UM, SO HIGH LEVEL INFORMATION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT SCHOOL DATA, IT'S JUST NOT NECESSARILY DIGGING INTO THAT INDIVIDUAL STUDENT, STUDENT DATA. SO, SO WE'RE GETTING THERE.
IT SHOULD BE, UM, DATA TO SUPPORT OUR, UM, YEAH, OUR INITIATIVES AND.
SO YOUR, YOUR MAIN PAGE WILL BE EXACTLY ALIGNED. IF IT ISN'T, THEN THAT'S THE GREAT CONVERSATION TO FOR THAT NIGHT IS TO SAY, HEY, LET'S LOOK AT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, OUR PROFILE OF A GRAD, IS EVERYTHING THAT I WANT TO KNOW. IF A CONSTITUENT ASKS ME ABOUT X, Y, AND Z, I CAN QUICKLY GO IN AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT, OR GIVE ME A 24 HOUR AND I'LL GET THAT FOR YOU. AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ALWAYS COME TO ME TOO AND SAY, HEY, JOHN, THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT DEEPER, UH, CAN YOU GET ME SOME INFORMATION? AND THAT'S GOING TO E- BE AT MY FINGERTIPS AS WELL. SO, UM, YOU KNOW, EVEN AS A STAFF, WE'RE NOT REALLY USING IT WITH FIDELITY YET. WE'RE STILL KIND OF BRIDGING THAT WITH OUR PRINCIPALS. WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW PRINCIPALS. UM, SO YEAH, THIS IS EXCITING. I JUST NEEDED A L- LIKE JUST A COUPLE MORE WEEKS TO GET IT KNOCKED OUT. I KEPT IT ON THERE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO FORGET.
OKAY. UM, DILIGENT. WE'RE THE- WE'RE IN.
EVERYTHING WE SHOULD KNOW? WHAT'S DIFFERENT? UM, WELL, THERE'S SO MANY THINGS IN HERE. ONE OF THE, SO NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GUYS' VIEW LOOKS LIKE, I, SO YOU KNOW YOU GUYS USED TO HAVE A LINK ON YOUR DOCS THAT WOULD TAKE YOU TO A LINK TO EVERYTHING.
WHEN YOU LOGGED IN ON YOUR ADVISOR'S OWN. LIKE.
HAVE THE NEEDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
MM-HMM. WITHIN AN AGENDA? YEAH, WE USE THE AGENDA IN BED. UM, DILIGENT DOESN'T REALLY... WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'LL TAKE 47 LINKS TO GET YOU THERE.
SO YOU'RE TALKING LIKE OUR SCHOOL BOARD FOLDER.
SO IF YOU CLICK ON THE, THE BOOKS.
YES. NO? NO, NO, NO. THE BOOKS IS THE PUBLIC SITE. NO, THAT'S NOT THE PUBLIC SITE. THERE'S THE PUBLIC ONE, INTERNAL, AND THEN THE ARCHIVES.
WHERE ARE YOU? I DON'T SEE ANY BOOKS.
WHEN YOU FIRST LOG IN, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE THIS.
[00:35:01]
IT'S CALLED.IT DOESN'T QUITE LOOK LIKE THAT, BUT.
WE WANT INTERNAL? I JUST HAVE TODAY'S MEETING.
MINE DOES. MINE SAYS UPCOMING.
THESE? DO WE WANT INTERNAL? AND THEN INTERNAL.
SCHOOL. OKAY. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S HELPFUL TO ME? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS, BUT WHEN YOU SEND US THAT WEEKLY UPDATE, IF YOU JUST PUT THE LINK IN THAT, THAT'S WHERE I GET IT FROM.
THE LINK FOR THE MEETING? NO, THE LINK FOR, LIKE, LOGISTICS OR WHAT, LIKE, I DON'T NEED A SPECIAL, EVERY WEEK WHEN YOU SEND THAT THING AND IT'S LIKE, HERE'S, CAN YOU GUYS.
FILL THIS FORM OUT, AND IF YOU LINK IT THERE, THEN I'LL DO IT FROM THERE.
LIKE, I DON'T NEED TO GO DO ALL THESE STEPS TO GET TO IT.
I THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT USES THAT.
WHAT DO YOU USE? I LIKE TO GO IN HERE.
BUT SHE'S SAYING THERE'S LIKE 10 STEPS TO GET TO IT.
I MEAN, YOU CAN LOG IN FROM THE PUBLIC SITE NOW THAT IS THE DILIGENT PUBLIC SITE.
COULD THAT BE AN, WHEN YOU NEED OUR AVAILABILITY, COULD THAT JUST BE.
THAT'S ALWAYS ON THE, THE WEEKLY.
AND THAT'S WHERE I JUST CLICK THE WEEKLY.
I MEAN, ARE WE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT DOCUMENT, THE AVAILABILITY ONE? WELL, NO, BECAUSE WE USUALLY HAVE, UM, YOUR SHARE, GOING TO YOUR SHARE DRIVE AND BOARD AVAILABILITY.
ON THE OTHER ONE, IT WOULD BE A LINK TO THE MEETING TOO.
BUT DILIGENT IS SET UP SO DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU LOG IN, IT'S THE FIRST THING YOU'RE GONNA SEE IN THE MEETING, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY I WOULD USE IT.
YEAH, I WOULD JUST GO TO THE SHARED DRIVE FROM GOOGLE, AND I DON'T NEED TO GET THERE BY THROUGH.
WE'RE GONNA PLAY AND SEE WERE WE LAND.
I MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT STRUGGLES WITH THAT, BUT Y- I'LL FIGURE IT OUT, LIKE.
TO GET INTO GOOGLE DRIVE, LIKE I'VE... JUST, I KNOW, IT'S NOT AS EASY FOR ME.
SO THIS IS WHAT OUR PUBLIC SITE.
YEAH, SO, UM, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES, UM, FROM THE PUBLIC-FACING SIDE IS THAT THEY, TWO THINGS, THEY CAN NOW SUBSCRIBE. SO WHEN I PUBLISH A MEETING, WHEN I PUBLISH THE AGENDA, THIS WILL AUTOMATICALLY SEND THEM AN EMAIL THAT LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY CAN GO AND SEE THE AGENDA.
SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE NICE. SO, I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO SEND OUT SOME EMAILS TO 4 DIFFERENT GROUPS.
BUT EVERYBODY ELSE, I THINK I WAS GOING TO HAVE THEM SUBSCRIBE, AND THEN THEY'LL GET THE NOTIFICATION WHEN THERE'S AN AGENDA. AND THEN PUBLIC COMMENT SIGN UP IS THE OTHER THING.
SO, UM, THE COMMUNITY CAN NOW REQUEST TO SPEAK AT AN EVENT, AT A BOARD MEETING, SO THEY CAN PUT IT IN HERE, THEY'LL CLICK ON THE FORM, THEY PUT THEIR NAME IN, WHAT THE TOPIC IS, WHICH MEETING THEY'D LIKE TO SPEAK AT. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S ONLY ONE FILLED. AND THEN SUBMIT THE REQUEST.
SO WHEN CAN YOU START DOING THAT? LIKE DURING THE DAY BEFORE THE MEETING, OR LIKE... BECAUSE MY GUESS, MY QUESTION WOULD BE, SAY WE HAD LIKE 50 PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO SPEAK. WELL, ANYONE WHO SHOWED UP TO SIGN ON THE SIGN-IN SHEET, WE MIGHT NOT GET TO THEM BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO IT ONLINE, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE'S A TIMING, LIKE, UM...
I HAD, UM, I THINK WHAT WE PUT ON HERE... (INAUDIBLE) YEAH, THE DAY BEFORE. SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS TO YOU, LIKE, I ACTIVATED THAT, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT ACTIVE.
WELL, AND I'M JUST THINKING, I DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN THAT, BUT WHAT IF EVERYBODY SIGNED UP ONLINE AND WE GOT THROUGH OUR 30 MINUTES AND WE STILL HAD 30 PEOPLE ON THE SIGN-IN SHEET, THEN I GUESS WE JUST DEAL WITH THAT, WOULDN'T IT? WE JUST DECIDE.
HOW MUCH MORE TIME WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE TO IT. BUT YEAH, I DO... IF WE DO THAT, AND THEN THAT CLOSES, WHAT, 4 O'CLOCK THE DAY BEFORE, AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO SIGN UP WHEN YOU COME HERE,.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE, THE TOTAL OF.
THAT, AND THEN WE CAN DECIDE, YOU KNOW, VOTE, HEY, WE'RE GONNA ALLOCATE AN HOUR TO IT.
SO IT'S NOT SIM- THAT YOU WOULD CLOSE THE ONLINE SIGN UP AT A CERTAIN TIME.
OH, GOT IT. SO, THEN YOU, SO YOU COULDN'T SIGN UP AT 5 P.
MM-MM. NO, BECAUSE, UM, THEY CAN REQUEST TO SPEAK, BUT I HAVE TO APPROVE IT, SO I CAN STOP DOING THE APPROVALS AT 4 O'CLOCK, AND THEN, AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T BE. SO THE ONE THING IS, IS THAT ONCE I APPROVE IT, IT AUTOMATICALLY PUTS IT ON THE AGENDA.
NO, SO WE'LL KNOW UP FRONT WHO IS, WHO IT IS, AND IT'LL BE A PART OF THE AGENDA.
AND DOES, DOES IT HAVE A TOPIC? YEP. YEP, THEY HAVE TO LIST WHAT THE TOPIC IS.
AND THEN YOU APPROVE IT IF IT'S
[00:40:02]
RELATED TO AN AGENDA ITEM AND NOT APPROVE IT IF IT'S NOT.DO THEY GET FEEDBACK ON WHY THINGS DON'T GET APPROVED? I DON'T KNOW YET, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T-.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT PART WORKS YET.
SOMETIMES THEY SPEAK ON THINGS THAT AREN'T ON THE AGENDA. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE AGENDA.
YEAH, IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO, PUBLIC COMMENT DOESN'T HAVE TO, IT'S, YEAH. YEAH. WE JUST CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT, YEAH, IF IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S KIND OF, OH, ALL RIGHT. AND SO THEN THE, OF COURSE, THE OTHER BIG THING, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT TONIGHT, WAS THE MOTIONS, WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, THE MOTIONS. SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA WHEN WE GET TO THAT PART. IT'LL SHOW YOU, WELL, RIGHT AFTER WE DO THE WASTA PRESENTATION, UM, YOU'LL SEE IT. WELL, I'LL PAUSE WHEN WE GET TO THAT ONE. SO AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH THE WASTA AND THE VERY FIRST CONTRACT WE'RE VOTING ON, YOU'LL SEE THE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. OKAY.
AND QUICK QUESTION, WHY ARE WE VOTING ON THOSE CONTRACTS TONIGHT AND NOT AT A BOARD, THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING? YEP. SO, THE FIRST ONE WAS ONE THAT I, UH, ACCIDENTALLY LEFT OFF THE AUGUST AGENDA, AND WE NEED TO GET THAT APPROVED BECAUSE THE WORK NEEDS TO START. ONE OF THEM IS FOR CURRICULUM, SO IT, WE NEED TO RENEW THAT CONTRACT SO THAT WE CAN KEEP, CAUSE CLASSES HAVE ALREADY STARTED, AND SO WE NEED TO GET THAT. AND ONE OF THEM'S A STUDENT PLACEMENT, SAME DEAL, WE NEED TO GET THAT STUDENT PLACED.
AND SO NOT SOMETHING WE WOULD NORMALLY DO, OBVIOUSLY, DURING A WORKSHOP. UM, WHEN I SENT OUT THE AGENDA TO ALL THE CONSTITUENTS THAT I NORMALLY SHARE IT WITH, I LET THEM KNOW THIS IS NOT A NORMAL, BUT WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE OF THAT, AND THAT THE TIMING OF THESE THINGS REQUIRED US TO GET THESE CONTRACTS APPROVED BEFORE OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING.
NO, THESE, THIS ONE JUST HAPPENED TO BE START OF THE YEAR TIMING THINGS.
UM, YOU KNOW, STUDENT PLACEMENTS, WE USUALLY KNOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL AFTER SCHOOL HAD STARTED. UM, THE CURRICULUM, SAME DEAL, LIKE WE WEREN'T, WE JUST FLAT OUT, WE WEREN'T AWARE THAT THAT SUBSCRIPTION WAS EXPIRING, AND WE KIND OF NEED THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE KIDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE BOOKS. AND THEN THE OTHER CONTRACT WAS ONE I, THAT WAS TOTALLY ON ME. THERE WAS JUST A LOT OF, UM, DISCUSSION INTERNALLY, AND AT SOME POINT I MISSED THAT STILL NEEDED TO BE ON THE AGENDA, SO I MISSED THAT IN AUGUST.
OKAY, THANK YOU. AND SO ARE WE... IS THAT EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DILIGENT RIGHT NOW? OKAY. JUST ON A NEED-TO-KNOW BASIS. NEXT TIME WE NEED YOU TO CLICK ANOTHER BUTTON, YOU'LL TRAIN US. OKAY.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD ON THE PUBLIC, IS IT CLEAR THAT WE DON'T HAVE ONLINE PUBLIC COMMENT? DO WE NEED TO SPECIFY THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW OTHER BOARDS LET PEOPLE FILL THAT OUT, AND THEY CAN PICK IF THEY'RE, HUH? THEY CAN'T SPEAK.
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT OTHER BOARDS HAVE THAT. IS THAT CLEAR ON, LIKE...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IF SOMEBODY CLICKS ON THAT ONLINE AND THEY SAY, I WANT TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT, DO THEY, DOES IT TELL THEM IT'S IN PERSON ONLY? THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION.
THEY CAN SUBMIT WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS.
YOU CAN SUBMIT WRITTEN, BUT IF SOMEBODY FILLS THAT OUT, LIKE, AND ARE THEY THINKING THEY'RE GOING TO GET AN INVITE? ZOOMED IN OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, BECAUSE, LIKE, IF THEY GO TO EVERGREEN OR VANCOUVER AND THEY HAVE ONLINE, LIKE, DO THEY... IT'S JUST THE ONE QUESTION CAUSE NOW THAT WE HAVE-.
AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR, RIGHT? JUST CAUSE YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR ONLINE COMMENT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PATCH YOU IN. YOU HAVE TO COME IN PERSON.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING, JUST SO IT'S CLEAR, SO SOMEBODY DOESN'T COME TO US AND SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU PUT ME ON THE AGENDA AND LIKE...
AS WELL AS, WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMMENT? HOW DO I DO THAT? CAN I DO THAT? CAN I DO THAT THROUGH HERE? NO, THAT'S, THOSE DIRECTIONS ARE ON OUR, ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE.
AND MAYBE WE CAN ALSO PUT THOSE IN DILIGENT TOO. IT'S LIKE SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS FOR IN PERSON. IF YOU WANT TO SIGN.
DO WRITTEN, GO TO THIS LINK OR SOMETHING.
THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL, BECAUSE THEN.
THEN IT MIGHT PEOPLE, IF THEY REALIZE, OH, I HAVE TO COME IN PERSON TO SPEAK, I'LL JUST CLICK THIS BUTTON AND...
DO THE WRITTEN COMMENT INSTEAD.
THE SAME, MAYBE THE SAME THING ON OUR WEBSITE. IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMMENT, IF YOU WANT TO DO A IN-PERSON COMMENT, HERE'S THE LINK TO SIGN UP FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER... THOUGHTS ON COMMENTS? OKAY, WASTA PRESENTATION.
I HAVE A HANDY HANDOUT. I'LL SEND YOU THE DIGITAL VERSION IF ANYBODY REALLY WANTS. WELL, OR IN CASE SOMEBODY OVER THE NEXT MONTH IS LIKE, SURE, I'LL, I'LL, WE CAN CHAT BACK AND FORTH ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I'M, I'M OPEN TO THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO LEAN IN, BUT LET ME WALK THROUGH WHAT I THREW TOGETHER SO FAR. UM, I DID WRITE ALL
[00:45:03]
OF THIS, BUT I MADE IT PRETTIER WITH CLAUDE BECAUSE I'M TERRIBLE AT FORMATTING. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD LOOK CRAZY. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A 60 MINUTES FOR THIS, UM, WORKSHOP. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT DAY THEY HAVEN'T TOLD US, BUT OF WHAT I'VE REQUESTED IS, SINCE IT'S A, UM, ROUNDTABLE SESSION, GIVE US ROUNDTABLES.IT SEEMS WEIRD THAT I HAD TO ASK, BUT I DID ASK SPECIFICALLY. I'M LIKE, CAN WE MAKE SURE WE GET ROUNDTABLES? UM, SO THE ESSENCE OF THIS, AGAIN, IS FOR US TO TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, BUT TO GET PEOPLE TO, TO MEET EACH OTHER. SO, IT'S NOT, ABOUT HALF OF IT'S ON US, RIGHT? SO, THE IDEA IS THAT THERE'S 3 PHASES, WHICH USUALLY WORKS IN A ROUNDTABLE, LIKE AN INTRO. UH, THE INTRO PART IS, AND CONNIE, YOU'RE KIND OF THE MC ALONG WITH JOHN, SO THE 4 OF US, UM, THE 4 REMAINING OF US ARE IN THE ROLE. SO, PHASE, PHASE 1 IS THE OPENING, LIKE MAYBE THE BOARD PRESIDENT OR JOHN, BUT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF OPENS THE CENTRAL QUESTION ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
UM, THERE'S ABOUT IT, THE TIMING HERE, 7 MINUTES, 10 MINUTES, IT'S RELATIVE, BUT, UH, TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO THE ATTENDEES, TO TALK ABOUT VERY BRIEFLY THE, UM, COMMITTEE THAT EACH OF US IS GOING TO COVER, THE 4 OF US. SO, CONNIE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE A FLOATER AS THE MC ALONG WITH JOHN. UM, SO IT'S ABOUT 25 MINUTES IS FOR KIND OF AN OPENING. WE'LL PROBABLY, IT'LL PROBABLY BE SHORTER BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES TO SPEAK THAT MUCH, BUT UM, AND THEN PHASE TWO IS TO HAVE SOME ACTIVITY AT TABLES. SO, THE, THE, THE LAST TWO PAGES ARE THE ACTIVITY PER TABLE. UM, THE IDEA IS THAT WE LET TABLES CONVENE, EVERYONE INTRODUCES THEMSELVES, WHICH IS ALWAYS A WARM WELCOME, RIGHT, WHICH IS KIND OF HERE ON THIS LITTLE SHEET. UM, IMMEDIATELY SOMEBODY IS HAS TO VOLUNTEER TO BE THE TABLE LEAD, WHOEVER THAT IS. UM, THEN INTRODUCTIONS, NAME, DISTRICT, YOURS AS DIRECTOR. DOES YOUR COMMITTEE HAVE, DOES THE DISTRICT HAVE A COMMITTEE LIKE THE ONE THAT YOUR TABLE? SO EACH TABLE IS GOING TO BE ASSIGNED A, WE'RE JUST GOING TO RANDOMLY SAY THIS IS THE STUDENT ONE, THIS IS THE LEGISLATIVE TABLE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO TELL THEM IN ADVANCE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL PICK AND CHOOSE, AND THEY WON'T BE EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED. SO, UM, IT'S NOT REALLY A WARM WELCOME.
THERE'S NO FUN THING IN THERE. WE COULD DO THAT IF WE WANT TO. JOHN, YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE A WARM WELCOME AT THIS? ABSOLUTELY.
THERE YOU GO. OKAY, WELL, WE'LL CONSIDER SOMETHING. UM, SO THEY SHOULD BE TABLES OF 08, SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AROUND THE TABLE IN LIKE 4 MINUTES, UM, AND THEN GO THROUGH A DISCUSSION. AND SO THE FACILITATOR IS MEANT TO USE THIS DISCUSSION SECTION.
SO LIKE THE STUDENT VOICE ONE, THINK OF THE LAST TIME A STUDENT OR COMMITTEE MEMBER SAID SOMETHING IN AN ADVISORY SETTING THAT ACTUALLY CHANGED HOW YOUR BOARD THOUGHT ABOUT THE DECISION, WHAT MADE IT POSSIBLE. SO THE IDEA IS THE FACILITATORS MUST MAKE SURE THAT WE GO AROUND THE TABLE, EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES, AND A LITTLE SPACE FOR THEM TO CAPTURE NOTES, RIGHT? SO TABLES CAN, CAN SIT FOR ABOUT, WHAT IS IT, ABOUT 20 MINUTES, UH, TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS AND COME UP WITH SOME SIMPLE FEEDBACK AS A TABLE. YOU KNOW, WHAT HAVE WE HEARD MOST OFTEN AT THIS TABLE? WHAT'S THE BIGGEST BARRIER? ONE IDEA WORTH STEALING. SO THAT'S THE FACILITATOR'S JOB, IS TO JUST KEEP THINGS TIMING.
AND THEN AT THE END, GOT A KIND OF A TYPICAL ROUND TABLE. UM, YOU GO TABLE BY TABLE, CONNIE WILL BE THE MC POINTING TO EACH TABLE, UM, AND WE'LL ASSEMBLE THE FEEDBACK FROM THE DIFFERENT TABLE GROUPS. NOW, AGAIN, I'VE GOT 4 GROUPS HERE. THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE 8 TABLES, SO WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE THE STUDENT ONES TOGETHER, SO, YOU KNOW, BONNIE IS A STUDENT, I HAVE ART, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE ABLE TO W- IT'S LIKE WE HAVE 2 LEVELS OF FACILITATION, ONE OF US ASSIGNED TO THOSE TABLES, AND THEN THE 2 OF YOU KIND OF FLOATING.
UM, BUT THE IDEA IS TO TAKE THAT TIME TO RECONVENE, BRING EVERYTHING BACK, AND THEN JOHN, YOU'RE GOING TO KIND OF WRAP UP WITH THAT AND HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT COME UP ABOUT THE COMMITTEES AND SO FORTH.
THIS IS JUST REALLY HIGH LEVEL.
PAGE 2 IS WHAT I LISTED AS ASSIGNMENTS. UH, I DIDN'T ASK PERMISSION, I JUST STUCK BOMANI, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HERE, BOMANI, TOO BAD. UM, STUDENT VOICES COMMITTEE, I TOOK ART. COREY, I PUT YOU ON LEDGE BECAUSE YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT BEST. AND TRACY, I PUT YOU ON BUDGET AND RESOURCES.
UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S JUST A HIGHLIGHT.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AN HOUR WITH A GROUP OF UNKNOWN PEOPLE AT ROUNDTABLES, THAT WAS MY SUGGESTION BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE. I'VE ALSO GOT, YOU CAN SEE THE ARTS ONE, IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY, UM, DISTRICTS WILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S FOCUSED ON THE ARTS. WE MAY BE THE ONLY, WHICH IS FINE. LIKE, UH, WHAT WAS THE QUESTION THERE? HAS YOUR COMMUNITY EVER RESPONDED STRONGLY TO SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES ART, CULTURE, OR IDENTITY IN YOUR SCHOOL? SO, TOOK AS BROAD OF A VIEW OF ARTS AS POSSIBLE. WHAT DID THAT RESPONSE TELL YOU, AND WHAT DID YOUR BOARD DO WITH IT? AND SO, THINGS FOR THE FACILITATOR TO USE AS KIND OF QUESTIONS AND SO FORTH, BUT THAT WAS MY THOUGHT BASED ON WHAT WE HAD ACCEPTED, UM, GIVING DISTRICTS AND PEOPLE TO MEET EACH OTHER, TALK ABOUT THESE TOPICS. UM, I HAVE SOME IDEAS ON COMMITMENT, LIKE THAT WE'LL CREATE A SMALL SITE FOR THE RESOURCES THAT WE USED IN THE MEETING, BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS NICE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, I WAS THERE AND I'D LIKE TO USE THIS FOR SOMETHING IN MY COMMUNITY. WE'LL JUST CREATE A GOOGLE SITE, PUT A QR CODE UP ON THE LITTLE SLIDE THING.
[00:50:01]
THEY'LL HAVE A TV THERE, MOST LIKELY, UH, MONITOR, SO.BEFORE I PICK MY WATA SESSIONS, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE GO INTO THE SESSION AND SEE WHAT'S IN THERE BEFORE, SO HAVING ALL THIS IN HERE, THEN IT WOULD, UM, I THINK THAT'S, YOU'VE MADE IT REALLY EASY. I THINK IT'S, I THINK THIS IS GOOD.
A LOT OF IT IS JUST US FIGURING OUT WHAT WE WANT TO SAY AT THE BEGINNING THAT WE THINK IS CRITICAL, YOU KNOW, CAUSE I, I THINK THE IDEA THAT BEING INTENTIONAL WITH THE COMMUNITY IS ONE OF OUR STRENGTHS, AND IT'S NOT EVERYONE'S STRENGTH, BUT IT'S LIKE, OKAY, I'VE HEARD FROM SOME FOLKS, SOME MIGHT BE WATCHING, SORRY IF I'M OFFENDING ANYBODY, BUT THEY'RE LIKE, OH, SOMETIMES I THINK COMMITTEES ARE JUST, THEY'RE JUST THERE SO THAT YOU CAN SAY YOU HAD A COMMITTEE. AND I THINK THAT'S VERY VALID. I THINK IT'S VERY EASY TO DO THAT. UM, I THINK IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO BE PRESENT, TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE, TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE, CITIZENS ADVISORY. SOMETIMES IT GETS A LITTLE OUT OF HAND, JOHN, RIGHT? IT KIND OF GOES AROUND AND PEOPLE JUST START ALL CHATTING, AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, LET'S GET BACK ON TASK, YOU KNOW, AND YOU GOTTA, THERE IS NO GAVEL. THEY NEED A GAVEL. UM, BUT THEN THERE'S GENUINE MOMENTS WHERE IN SOME OF THESE COMMITTEES WE'RE LIKE, WOW, WE'RE, EVERYONE IS ALIGNED AND WE DIDN'T THINK IT, RIGHT? SO THAT'S KIND OF THE PURPOSE OF THIS. IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, IT'S JUST SITTING DOWN AND SAYING THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF IT, YEAH.
I LOVE THIS, AND I, I WOULD LIKE... I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE LIKE IF I, IF I HAD TO STEP INTO ANY, IF I HAD TO STEP INTO ANY OF THESE TABLES THAT I WOULD KNOW, I WOULD BE ABLE TO FACILITATE ANY ONE OF THEM.
RIGHT? JUST CAUSE, LIKE, WHO KNOWS, SOMEBODY GETS THE FLU AND DOESN'T COME TO WAZDA, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M DOING...
I MEAN, WE MAY HAVE 30 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM AT 4 TABLES, JUST, YOU KNOW.
4 ROUNDS OF 8. IT'S LIKE, OKAY, NOW WE CAN ALL LEAN IN.
ALL HAVE A SHEET LIKE THIS, RIGHT? LIKE EACH TABLE.
WILL HAVE LIKE, SO IF I'M THE FACILITATOR, I'M.
MY, MY AIM WAS TO HAVE ONE SHEET PER PERSON AT A TABLE. ONE PERSON'S GONNA BE A FACILITATOR.
EVERYONE HAS IT IN FRONT OF THEM SO THEY CAN KIND OF THINK ABOUT IT. IF THERE'S SOMEONE QUIET, YOU KNOW, WHAT MAKES IT HARD TO STAND UP A NEW COMMITTEE ONCE INTEREST APPEARS, RIGHT? USUALLY IT'S, WELL, IT'S A BURDEN ON THOSE THAT ARE ON OUR ADMIN SIDE THAT HELP US, RIGHT, AND, UM, OR WHAT DRIVES IT. SO, YEAH, MY, THE AIM WAS, BUT, BUT THE AIM WAS, AS I KEPT THINKING ABOUT IT, NOT TELLING PEOPLE WHICH TABLE IS WHAT.
BECAUSE THEY WILL ALL TRY TO GET ON THE TABLE THEY WANT, AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LIKE, AH, I DON'T DO LEGISLATIVE, WELL, LET'S LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT, RIGHT? AND SOME MIGHT GET UP AND MOVE AFTER THAT, WHICH IS.
IT'S OKAY. PEOPLE CAN DO THAT.
BUT I'D LIKE, AND ALSO, UM, LIKE WHERE IT SAYS OPEN WITH, YOU KNOW, ASKING THAT QUESTION, IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE HAVE OUR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE, LIKE, PEOPLE MIGHT JUST SIT AND STARE AT YOU LIKE, OKAY, SO FOR EXAMPLE, HERE'S, HERE'S WHAT WE EXPERIENCED IN OUR DISTRICT. THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT THIS UP. THIS IS HOW WE STARTED OUR ARTS ADVISORY OR WHATEVER.
YEAH, SO WE'LL HAVE, WELL, AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FOUR THAT WE'RE, WE'RE DOING, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LEGISLATIVE, BUDGET, ARTS, AND THEN STUDENT PLUS CITIZENS.
UM, WE HAVE A GOOD REASON WHY EACH ONE WAS STARTED, RIGHT? IT-.
AND I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL, LIKE IF, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SET IN STONE, BUT IF YOU SET ME ON BUDGET AND RESOURCES, I CAN WORK ON MY PAGE, LIKE, YOU KNOW.
I'M GONNA FOCUS ON THIS, AND I'LL HAVE SOME SPECIFIC DATA WHY, WHY AND WHEN WE STARTED IT, AND I COULD DO THAT, AND WHOEVER'S ON LEDGE COULD KIND OF DO THE RESEARCH ON WHEN WE STARTED LEDGE AND WHY, AND...
PROBABLY THE WEAKEST PART I HAVEN'T REALLY, YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T FLESHED OUT IS THIS READ BACK, THE REPORT BACK, HOW WE WANT TO CAPTURE IT AND THEN PUT IT BACK UP ON THE GOOGLE SITE. YOU KNOW, SOMEHOW, WE'LL REPORT WHAT THE ROOM SAID, SO, YOU KNOW.
AT THE END, PEOPLE WANT TO GO BACK AND GET THE MATERIALS.
THEY CAN ALSO SEE, LIKE, OKAY, WHAT DID, WHAT DID, WHAT WERE SOME IDEAS THAT PEOPLE HAD? I DON'T KNOW. IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SUMMARIZE IT.
WELL, AND IT'S JUST REALLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT RESONATED WITH THE GROUP? WHAT, YOU KNOW, PICK YOUR TOP THOUGHTS THAT YOU GUYS DISCUSSED AND SHARE THEM WITH EVERYBODY.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S VERY EASY IN, YOU KNOW, FROM ALL MY YEARS THAT COMMITTEES CAN BE SEEN AS JUST, WE DO IT SO WE CAN TELL PEOPLE WE HAD IT, AND I THINK IT'S AN EASY SLIDE, RIGHT, WHERE WE COULD BE THAT SAME WAY TOMORROW IF WE'RE LIKE, YEAH, WE DON'T REALLY CARE, YOU KNOW, JUST GIVE, GIVE THEM SOME TOPIC AND LET THEM GO ON, BUT.
UM, I THINK EVERYONE'S POTENTIALLY GUILTY OF THAT. I THINK THIS IS ONE WERE, LIKE, WE, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT STUDENT APPROACH THAN OTHER BOARDS. WE DON'T.
WE DIDN'T CHOOSE THE REPRESENTATION TO SIT THERE IN FRONT OF US AND JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. I THINK WE'VE DONE SOMETHING REALLY GREAT WITH STUDENT ADVISORY. THAT'S SOMETHING GREAT TO SHARE. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE AN ADVISORY LIKE WE HAVE, LIKE STUDENT ADVISORY VERSUS REPRESENTATION.
WELL, AND I FEEL LIKE WAZDA KIND OF PUSHES FOR THE, YOU KNOW, HEY, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES ON YOUR BOARD THAT ARE HERE? YEAH, LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND.
AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE, REALLY, LIKE, THAT'S.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY, OR THAT'S.
THAT'S THE MODEL, AND WE HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MODEL. UM, GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT,
[00:55:01]
IT'S JUST DIFFERENT, RIGHT? AND IT'D BE NICE TO... THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THAT. I THINK PEOPLE... I'M PROJECTING.I THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN ALL OF THESE.
UM, I WAS GONNA PICK ONE, BUT I'M LIKE, NO, ALL OF THEM. OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE, ALREADY TWO MORE DISTRICTS IN OUR REGION ARE ADOPTING THAT, AND SHOW ME A DISTRICT THAT DOESN'T HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT THEY WANT TO TALK TO THEIR LEGISLATORS ABOUT, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HEARD A COUPLE SESSIONS AGO WHERE THERE WAS LIKE, WELL, WE JUST DIDN'T HEAR FROM EDUCATORS OR ANYBODY THAT THAT WAS A PRIORITY. THAT WAS LIKE NUMBER 9 ON THE LIST OF 10. WELL, LET'S HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE VOICES TALKING TO THEM, AND THIS IS ONE WAY THAT WE DO IT, AND, YOU KNOW, I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING FOR EVERYBODY.
AND THERE'S, I SAW IT WAS IN THE PAPER, I THINK, THIS WEEKEND OR LAST WEEK, THAT THE CITIES ARE DOING IT, LIKE CITY OF RIDGEFIELD HAS THEIR.
COUNCIL, STUDENT COUNCIL, WHICH.
MARILYN WAS HERE, THAT THEY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN CAMAS, SO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS MODEL MAKES MORE OF THEM FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A VOICE, SO.
UH, THE INTENT IS I'VE GOT DEEPER, A LITTLE BIT DEEPER CONTENT ON THE, EACH PHASE.
I DO HAVE ALL FIVE SHEETS I JUST PUT ON 2 OF THEM HERE, OR 4 OF THEM.
UM, BUT YEAH, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO WORK WITH ME, SO WE CAN JUST KEEP 2 OF US ON IT, I'M HAPPY.
IS THIS A GOOGLE DOC SOMEWHERE? I HAVE, I HAVEN'T PUT THEM IN GOOGLE DOCS YET.
SO THEN IF WE ALL HAD ACCESS TO IT AND WE COULD.
I WAS GONNA SAY, I THINK THAT'D BE NICE IF WE COULD DO A GOOGLE DOC OR SLIDES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND WE CAN ALL JUST KIND OF BE DUMPING SOME STUFF IN THERE.
WE COULD JUST LIKE WORK ON IT TOGETHER.
I'LL PUT, I'LL PUT THEM IN A FOLDER IN THE, UH, SCHOOL BOARD SHARED DRIVE.
I WOULD LOVE TO SET UP A SORT OF A PRACTICE BEFORE WASDA TO LIKE A, IT COULD BE A WORKSHOP OR IT COULD BE A SATURDAY AFTERNOON. LET'S GET TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL KNOW.
WHAT WE'RE DOING AND KNOW WHAT, LIKE, IF YOU HAVE ALL YOUR NOTES AND HAVE DONE YOUR THING FOR YOUR SECTION, MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL HAVE THOSE FOR ALL SECTIONS, UM, JUST IN CASE, AND THEN SORT OF DO A TRY OUR JOKES OUT, SEE IF THEY'RE FUNNY. UM.
MAYBE IN NOVEMBER BEFORE WE GO.
AND WHATEVER HELP YOU NEED BE- BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
YEAH, WE HAVE 2 MORE WORKSHOPS.
DO I NEED ANYTHING? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO FLESH THIS OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE. THERE WAS A PART OF ME SAYING, LIKE, AGAIN, ON THE MONITOR, WE'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY RELY ON SLIDES, BUT IF WE HAVE A MONITOR, IT'S NICE TO HAVE, LIKE, CONTENT AS PEOPLE COME IN.
I WAS GOING TO SAY, I ALWAYS LIKE WHEN I, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, WHEN WE, WHEN YOU LEAVE A PRESENTATION, IT'S NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING YOU CAN GO BACK TO.
I'M NOT THE KIND OF PERSON THAT IS SITTING THERE, LIKE, TAKING COPIOUS NOTES. I LIKE TO LISTEN TO IT AND THEN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT LATER ON, SO.
USUALLY ANNOYED AT ONES WE'VE STEPPED OUT OF THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR MATERIAL.
SO I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT SOME SORT OF VISUALS, YEAH? EVEN IF IT'S JUST LINKS TO OUR WEBSITES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH. OH YEAH, LIKE THE COMMITTEE...
CAUSE MOST OF OUR COMMITTEES HAVE A LANDING PAGE SOMEWHERE.
AND THE TIE INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUR PROFILE OF A GRADUATE.
YEAH. I THOUGHT WE'D HAVE, WE'D AT LEAST HAVE ONE PLAN PER TABLE JUST SO WE CAN.
HIGHLIGHT THAT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A DRIVING.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY, DO WE HAVE ANY HOMEWORK IN THE INTERIM THEN? I DON'T THINK SO.
NO? I THINK LET'S JUST WAIT TILL THE, BY THE NEXT WORKSHOP, I'LL HAVE A MORE THOROUGH VERSION, AND THEN IF I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE BETWEEN THEN AND NOVEMBER.
LIKE BONNIE SAID, IF WE HAVE TO MEET ON A TUES- COFFEE OR SATURDAY OR SOMETHING, WE CAN FLESH THAT OUT REAL QUICK.
UM, PUBLIC COMMENTS? DID ANYBODY SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS TODAY? I'M, I'M SCANNING THE CROWD. UM, OKAY,
[4. CONTRACTS FOR APPROVAL]
THEN WE WILL MOVE STRAIGHT ON TO CONTRACTS FOR APPROVAL. WE HAVE THE... WHERE IS IT GOING HERE? YOU CAN ALSO.YOU CAN ALSO CLICK ON HERE, AND IT'LL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO IT.
IT DID, BUT IT DIDN'T. I HAD TO... OH, THAT.
BUT WE'RE ONLY APPROVING THE AP- THERE'S LIKE 3 DOCUMENTS IN THERE, BUT THEY'RE ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, IS THAT RIGHT? SO, THERE'S LIKE THE CONTRACT, AND THEN THERE'S THE GRANT AND THE INTERLOCK AGREEMENT, AND THAT'S JUST DATA FOR, THAT WAS JUST FOR US TO LOOK AT, WHICH I DID.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APOLLO? SINCE I'M ONLY, OH, SORRY.
MY ONLY QUESTION WAS, I WAS JUST READING THE TIMELINE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO START THE WORK SUMMER OF 2026.
SO I WAS LIKE, AND BE DONE BY JUNE 2027. SO, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY STARTING LATER, BUT THE FINISH DATE IS STILL THE SAME? FINISH DATE IS THE SAME AS THE CONTRACT, THE GRANT HAS A FINAL.
CAUSE THIS IS ALL BEING PAID FOR BY GRANT. IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF GENERAL FUND. YEAH.
OKAY. AND THAT WAS HELPFUL TO SEE IN THERE, CAUSE I SAW THE CONTRACT PRICE, AND I'M LIKE, OH WAIT, BUT THE GRANT IS WHAT'S PAYING FOR THE CON- SO IT WAS HELPFUL HAVING ALL THAT, UM, BACKGROUND DATA IN THERE TO KNOW THAT THAT'S WHERE THAT'S BEING PAID FOR, SO.
MM-HMM. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT?
[01:00:05]
I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.BUT WHERE I SAY, IT SAYS I MOVE TO APPROVE THE APOLLO CONTRACT.
ONE OF THEM HAS A LITTLE LOCK.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS LIKE THIS. SO, CAN YOU SEE IT? SO I SEE THAT THING, BUT ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SCREEN.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO, THIS, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE AGENDA WHEN THE AGENDA IS PUBLISHED, BUT IT WILL SHOW UP LIKE THIS IN THE EMAIL IF I PUT IT AS A MOTION ON DILIGENCE.
SO IT'LL, THE MOTIONS WILL SHOW UP HERE WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE MEETING. THE OTHER WAY TO DO IT IS TO DO IT TO, IT WON'T SHOW UP HERE. I HAVE A BLANK MOTION BOX, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE.
WHAT THE BRIEFING NOTE? YEAH, THE BRIEFING NOTE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF ME GET THE, YEAH, GET THE, BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE BRIEFING NOTES ONCE I.
SO THEN I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS INTO THIS DOCUMENT. UM, SO WHEREAS YOUR DOC, THE MEETING WAS RAN, WAS TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE MINUTES, ON DILIGENCE, THIS IS ACTUALLY CREATING THE MINUTES.
AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH. THIS IS ACTUALLY.
SO MY QUESTION TO YOU GUYS THAT I WAS TRYING TO ASK LAST TIME, BUT I CAN'T VERY WELL, YOU CAN'T SEE IT, IS THIS, IS HOW YOU WANT. I LIKE THE BRIEFING NOTES APPROACH.
BUT THEN, SO YOU DON'T WANT IT TO SHOW UP THERE BEFORE WE'VE SAID IT? UH, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, I'D RATHER JUST HAVE THE BRIEFING NOTES BECAUSE...
BUT THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO TYPE THAT IN, SHAUNA, RIGHT? I LIKE THAT.
YEAH, CAUSE AREN'T, AREN'T ALL THE, DON'T WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE THING? WHAT, I GUESS I'M CONFUSED.
WHAT ARE THE BRIEFING NOTES VERSUS WHAT WE'RE.
BRIEFING NOTES ARE ONLY FOR US.
WE ONLY, WE ONLY SEE THE BRIEFING NOTES. IF IT'S UP THERE, ONE COULD, YOU KNOW, ONE COULD ARGUE LIKE, OH, YOU'VE ALREADY MOVED TO APPROVE BY.
THE BRIEFING NOTES ARE JUST THE, THE SUGGESTED LANGUAGE.
THIS IS A BRIEFING NOTE? BUT I THINK THAT RIGHT HERE ON THE, ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT NOW OF YOUR SCREEN, I THINK THAT IS THAT.
WE DON'T WANT IT UP THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE.
SO CONNIE, IF THIS COMES UP, IT'S GOING TO COME UP AT THE TOP.
BUT CLICK ON THIS, UH, A, NO A, AND SCROLL DOWN.
SO THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO GET TO THERE.
THEY'RE SAYING THIS APPEARING THERE MAY LOOK.
YEAH. I TOTALLY AGREE. I LIKE IT HERE, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT IT.
I MEAN, IT'S A NICE GUIDELINE FOR US. WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT, UM, WE COULD DO WHATEVER WE WANT, BUT, UM...
HAVE THE SAMPLE VERBIAGE IN THERE, BUT NOT.
DID- DIDN'T WE, WE ASKED IF THAT BAR CAN COME UP AND NOT BE UP THERE, AND THEY SAID NO, RIGHT? NOBODY EVER ASKED THEM THAT QUESTION.
WHAT, REALLY? I'M REALLY SURPRISED.
YEAH, THEY WE'RE TECH TECH LEADERS.
WOW, OKAY. SO ARE YOU READY TO TRY THIS OUT, CONNIE? I AM. OKAY, DO YOU WANT TO MOVE? I ALREADY ASKED FOR.
OH, OKAY. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE APOLLO MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS CONTRACT AS PRESENTED FOR 559,601 DOLLARS TO BE PAID FOR BY THE OSPI FP 5110 GRANT.
DO I HEAR A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
IT'S BEEN MOTIONED BY TRACY. I WAS JUST LEARNING HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY THIS. IT'S BEEN MOTIONED BY TR- TRACY, SECONDED BY MATTHEW TO, IF I CAN GET MY COMPUTER, TO APPROVE THE APOLLO MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS AS PRESENTED FOR 559,601 DOLLARS TO BE PAID FROM THE OSPI FP-510 GRANT.
ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THE AYES HAVE IT. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? I ALSO PUT SOME ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDERS DOCUMENT IN OUR SHARED FILE, JUST THAT I WAS LOOKING AT.
YEAH, JUST GUIDES, BECAUSE I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW. I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THAT. ALL RIGHT.
SO...(INAUDIBLE) IS THAT A POP-UP? I DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
YOU DIDN'T? POP-UP? OH, I HAVE TO CLICK SHOW.
AND SHAUNA, THAT'S NOT TECHNICALLY CORRECT BECAUSE BONDI DIDN'T VOTE.
I KNOW. (INAUDIBLE) AND VOTE YEAH? ISN'T IT AYE? YAY.
YAY? SO WAIT, WHERE DID, I GUESS I
[01:05:01]
DIDN'T GET THAT NOTICE.DID IT SHOW, DID IT SHOW YOU GUYS? YEAH.
YEAH, VOTING RESULTS. MOTION CARRIES.
MINE WASN'T CLICKED RIGHT THERE.
HIDE VOTE, MINE SAID SHOW VOTING.
SO I CHANGED IT, SO I'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME.
OKAY, SO THEN WHEN WE GO TO THE NEXT ONE, DO YOU STILL HAVE TO S- SO YOU SAID CLICK ON THAT A, AND NOW I JUST HAVE THE...
NOW YOU'RE GONNA CLICK ON B, MCGRAW HILL.
OH, I GET IT. I WAS THINKING THOSE WERE ALL.
AND THEY HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN TO FIND IT. THAT DOESN'T TAKE YOU RIGHT THERE. OH, BUT HERE'S THE MOTION, RIGHT? OH, BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA BE THERE.
B. BUT IT'S NOT IN A BRIEFING NOTE.
IT'S WRITTEN THERE, BUT IT'S NOT IN A BRIEFING NOTE.
NO, BECAUSE I, I DID DO THE PROBLEM.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO MCGRAW HILL, OUR DISTRICT REQUESTS BOARD APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT RENEWAL OF ONLINE LICENSE, LICENSES OF WELSH HOLES ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR THE HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY COURSE AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL.
TO BE PAID FROM THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION BUDGET. ANY DISCUSSION? QUESTIONS? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE MCGRAW-HILL 3-YEAR CONTRACT AS PRESENTED FOR 11,473 DOLLARS AND 78 CENTS TO BE PAID FROM CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION.
MOVED BY MATTHEW, SECONDED BY TRACY, TO APPROVE THE MCGRAW-HILL 3-YEAR CONTRACT AS PRESENTED FOR 11,473 DOLLARS AND 78 CENTS PAID FROM THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION INSTRUCT- IN CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION ACCOUNT. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.
AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT.
SEE IF I GET THE POP-UP. I DIDN'T GET IT LAST TIME.
I KNOW NO ONE CAN SEE THE POP-UP, BUT IT'S VERY EXCITING.
I DON'T SEE IT POP UP. SHE'S NOT DONE YET. FOR THOSE OF YOU WAITING AT HOME WITH BATED BREATH, WE'RE PILOTING OUR NEW PROGRAM.
IT'S GOOD TO DO IT INSTEAD OF WORKSHOP.
HI, PAT. NO, I DON'T THINK PAT'S WATCHING. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. YEAH. DO, DO, DO, DO.
DID, DID WE PASS IT, SHAUNA? WE DID, BUT...
IT DIDN'T POP UP IN THE MEANTIME. SHALL WE MOVE ON? SEE.
YOU'RE, IT'S ALSO NOT SHOWING, IT'S ALSO NOT MOVING ALONG UP HERE.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M LIKE...
DID WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR MOTION LOUDER? IT WAS WEIRD LAST TIME, WE LIKE, WE SAID IT, AND THEN IT POPPED UP, AND IT'S LIKE, IT WAS TRACKING UP. OKAY. SO, MAYBE THIS ONE WILL. OKAY. SO.
I KEEP TRYING TO LIKE MAKE MY SCREEN A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, AND IT IT.
YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE TRICKY MAKING IT SIZE, RIGHT? THAT PROBABLY WOULD BE BETTER.
UM, SO THE SERENDIPITY CENTER, IT'S A NONPROFIT THERAPEUTIC DAY TREATMENT SCHOOL LOCATED IN PORTLAND, OREGON. STUDENTS PLACED THERE, UM, PRESENT WITH COMPLEX AND UNIQUE EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL NEEDS. THE SCHOOL PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES THAT INCLUDE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, COMMUNICATION, AND FUNCTIONAL ACADEMICS.
PLACEMENT AT THIS SCHOOL OCCURS WHEN IT'S DETERMINED THAT THE DISTRICT IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES WITHIN ONE OF ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE SPECIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT REQUESTS BOARD APPROVAL TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH SERENDIPITY TO SERVE A CAMAS STUDENT DURING THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED 83,000 DOLLARS. QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION? I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PLACEMENT OF ONE OF OUR STUDENTS AT SERENDIPITY CENTER FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR, FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED 83,000 DOLLARS.
IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRACY, SECONDED BY MATTHEW. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.
[01:10:02]
WELL, IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE BOARD DOCKET WOULD SHOW THE VOTE.BUT IT DID SHOW THE VOTE BEFORE, AND THE FIRST TIME WHEN I TRIED THIS LAST WEEK, IT WAS SHOWING THE VOTE.
[5. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS]
SYSTEMS AND PATHWAYS. AND ALSO I, A QUESTION FOR THE POLICY REVIEW, LIKE WE USED TO GET A SPREADSHEET WITH ALL THE-.IT'S IN THE LITTLE BOX, UM, THE BRIEFING NOTES BOX, BRIEFING NOTES BOX AT THE BOTTOM.
5A. YEAH, AND THEN SCROLL DOWN.
BUT KEEP SCROLLING TO THE BOTTOM OF 5A, THAT BRIEFING NOTE IS RIGHT THERE.
OKAY. SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING EARLIER, WHEN IT WASN'T ON DILIGENT YET, I DIDN'T SEE IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO, POLICY, FIRST POLICY WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW, AND THESE ARE POLICIES FOR FIRST READING? NO, JUST REVIEW.
OH, WE'RE NOT EVEN DOING FIRST READING.
WE'RE, WE'RE JUST REVIEWING THEM, AND THEN WE CAN BRING THEM TO FIRST READING AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. SO POLICY 1400, MEETINGS, CONDUCT, ORDER OF BUSINESS, AND QUORUM. THIS WAS HELD BY THE BOARD BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE AROUND THE WORKSHOPS, WHICH WERE REVISED, AND, UM, THEY'RE REPRESENT- RE-PRESENTING THEM TO US TODAY. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THE NEW LANGUAGE? I APPRECIATE THE CHANGES.
YEAH. I THINK IT'S STILL, EVEN THOUGH, AGAIN, WE'VE SAID WORKSHOPS EVEN LIKE THIS, WE WE CAN TAKE ACTION. UM, I THINK IT SETS THE TONE THAT WORKSHOPS ARE WORKSHOPS.
TYPICALLY, WE WON'T BE VOTING ON THINGS, BUT WE CAN, AND MEETINGS ARE DIFFERENT.
AND THEN IT ALSO SEPARATES OUT.
I THINK IT'S STILL, SHAUNA SAYS, MEETINGS DEFINITELY, WE JUST SAY AUDIO RECORDING, RIGHT? BUT WE WE'RE GONNA, WE VIDEO UP BOTH, SO IT DOESN'T OBLIGATE US TO THIS. I THINK IT'S JUST, YEAH.
SO, AND THEN DID WE DECIDE THAT EVERY, IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE MOTION AT A WORKSHOP, THAT WE'LL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS? BUT NORMALLY WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS AT A WORKSHOP, SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR STANDARD. OKAY.
YEAH. YEAH, I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.
UM, I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION, BOTTOM OF PAGE 4. UM, AND MAYBE WE DISCUSSED THIS LAST MEETING, AND I JUST WAS BECAUSE I WAS LATE TO THAT WORKSHOP ON THAT. UM, THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS STRICKEN UNDER MEETING CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS, UH, THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, UH, WILL BE THAT INDICATED IN THE AGENDA, THAT SECTION THAT STRUCK OUT.
WHY IS THAT STRUCK OUT? SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SO.
(INAUDIBLE) OKAY, BECAUSE I WAS JUST CUR- AND I WAS CURIOUS TOO, BECAUSE THIS ONE DIDN'T HAVE ANY POLICY AND LEGAL NEWS ATTACHED TO IT, SO THAT'S WHY.
THIS IS ALL AN INTERNAL REQUEST, BUT WE NEVER UPDATED.
FROM ONE OF THE LANGUAGE FROM THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS CHANGED IT TO.
SO APPARENTLY THAT, THAT JUST HAD NEVER BEEN DONE.
SO IT WAS AN OLD POLICY AND LEGAL NEWS.
THAT MADE THESE CHANGES, NOT THE POLICY AND LEGAL NEWS.
I, I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN, COREY.
IT, I, I DON'T THINK, SO THE, THE PART THAT IS STRICKEN, UM, IT'S NOT UP, SO JUST SAYS THAT, UH, ANY BOARD MEMBER OR THE SUPERINTENDENT REQUEST AN ADDITION OR CHANGES TO THE PREPARED AGENDA, WHICH MUST BE APPROVED BY THE MAJORITY. THAT'S STILL AFFORDED BY ROBERT'S RULES, SO WE STILL-.
ALL THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE JUST TAKING OUT THE SPEC-.
YEAH. SO, I SEE, I DON'T, I DON'T LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT TO SOMEBODY WHO'S READING THE POLICY THEN, BECAUSE I GUESS BY TAKING OUT THIS LANGUAGE, WE STILL HAVE THAT POWER.
I JUST DON'T LIKE TAKING THAT KIND OF STUFF OUT BECAUSE IT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE, OKAY, IF I DON'T KNOW ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, I'M NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I DON'T KNOW WHICH.
SO, I GUESS I'M LOOKING AT IT, IT'S JUST POPPING UP IN A WINDOW, AND IT SO IT DOESN'T HAVE PAGE NUMBERS.
MINE DOESN'T HAVE PAGE NUMBER EITHER. IS IT PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AND COMMENT, OR? (INAUDIBLE) OOF.
YEAH, SO THIS HAS JUST THIS ONE FLOWY DOCUMENT.
NO, BUT I THINK FROM HERE YOU COULD HAVE GOT THERE.
MEETING CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS.
SO GO BACK TO YOUR SPREADSHEET, CONNIE.
NO, BUT YOU HAVE TO CLICK OPEN THE TOP. YEAH.
I AGREE WITH YOU, COREY. I THINK IT'S STRIKING IT, IT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN ADD SOMETHING, IT'S NOT AS.
I MEAN, I'M, I'M THINKING LIKE IN IF, IF WE D- I'M JUST THINKING LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF I WAS, I WENT AND REVIEWED THIS POLICY WHEN I WAS A BRAND-NEW BOARD MEMBER BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I NEEDED TO DO.
AND IF I NOW, I GUESS WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO BE TELLING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS, YOU NEED TO DO A COURSE ON ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, WHICH MAYBE WE NEED TO DO.
AND I'M FINE WITH THAT, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S ADDED TO KIND OF LIKE OUR, OUR NEW BOARD MEMBER ONBOARDING. NOT THAT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S PLANNING ON GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON,
[01:15:01]
BUT I, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE THIS POLICY WAS SUPER HELPFUL TO ME WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE BOARD, AND NOW JUST I F- IT'S NOT TO ME. I MEAN, I GET IT, I GET WHY WE'RE DOING IT, BUT IT'S NOT HELPFUL TO ME AS A NEW BOARD MEMBER.SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REALLY BEING, UM, WE, WE MAY NEED TO REVISIT HOW WE, WE ONBOARD. (INAUDIBLE) IS IT? YES.
OH YES, THE ONE THAT THE FULL PARAGRAPH ON THE NEXT PAGE. YEAH.
THE BOARD WILL USE THE AGENDA, HOWEVER, EITHER THE SUPERINTENDENT OR BOARD MEMBER MAY REQUEST ADDITIONS OR CHANGES. SO, IT IS THERE.
AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS AT SPECIAL MEETINGS, THE BOARD MAY TAKE FINAL ACTION ONLY.
OKAY. OKAY, WELL THEN NEVER MIND, I JUST WASTED EVERYBODY'S TIME.
THAT'S GOTTEN OTHER BOARDS IN TROUBLE, RIGHT? YEAH.
WHERE, WHERE THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT, YES, YOU CAN ADD THINGS TO THE AGENDA UNLESS IT'S A SPECIAL MEETING, SO.
I DO THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE SOME ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY I STARTED THAT FOLDER. YEAH. AND I JUST WAS.
LOOKING FOR THE VERBIAGE WHEN IT, WHEN IT'S UNANIMOUS. LIKE, DO YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THE NAYS WHEN YOU SEE EVERYBODY VOTED YES? WE, WE ALSO SUGGESTED HAVING SEAN OR SOMEBODY COME IN AND GIVE US OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS, WHICH THIS COVERS THAT, LIKE THIS TOPIC, COREY, IS SPECIFICALLY.
AN, AN OPEN BOARD MEETING TOPICS CAN BE ADDED AND VOTED ON, BUT SPECIAL MEETINGS THEY CANNOT BE.
I THINK IT'S STILL THERE THEN.
ALL RIGHT, 3115, STUDENT EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, ENROLLMENT RIGHTS AND SERVICES.
THE LANGUAGE REDUNDANCY FOUND IN PROCEDURE REMOVED, UPDATED TO COMPLY WITH, UH, SHB 2594 AND ALIGN WITH, UH, 42 USC 1143 AND 114432, WHICH ENCODES STATE LEVEL EDUCATIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR UNHOUSED STUDENTS MIRRORING MCKINNEY-VENTO.
3124, REMOVAL/RELEASE OF STUDENTS DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
UPDATED TO ABSORB 3242, WHICH IS THE NEXT ONE THAT WE'RE RETIRING. BASICALLY SAYS STUDENTS AREN'T ALLOWED TO LEAVE DURING SCHOOL TIME, WHICH ABOLISHES THE NEED TO SAY WE HAVE A CLOSED CAMPUS.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD ON 3124, AND IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT WAS REMOVED, BUT AS I READ THROUGH IT, UM, I UNDERSTAND THE CHANGES, BUT IT DOESN'T ADDRESS STUDENTS THAT ARE ADULTS. SO IT DOESN'T SAY IF, IF I'M AN ADULT, WHICH WE, ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR DEGREE, IT DOESN'T CALL OUT SPECIFICALLY IF YOU'RE AN ADULT AND YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION.
THAT IS, YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE A GUARDIAN CHECK YOU OUT. I DON'T, I WAS LOOKING AT THE WAZDA MODEL POLICY THINKING, THIS IS WEIRD, WHY DIDN'T THEY ADDRESS THAT? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CALL OUT AN EXCEPTION, SO THEORETICALLY YOU COULD SAY AS AN ADULT. YEAH, AS AN 8.
WELL, AND A LOT OF SCHOOLS HAVE KIND OF PROCEDURES THAT THEY DON'T LET KIDS THAT ARE 18 SIGN THEIR OWN NOTES. LEGALLY, THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT.
UM, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS BROADLY PUBLICIZED.
IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY THE ONLY CALL OUT, UM, YOU KNOW.
SO ARE YOU SUGGESTING ADD SOME LANGUAGE? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN...
IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE PROCEDURE THAT WOULD.
I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE PROCEDURE ON THIS.
THERE IS AN UPDATED PROCEDURE FOR THIS THAT I THINK IS A COMPONENT, BUT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING.
I THINK THIS, THIS COVERS LIKE 90% OF OUR STUDENT BODY.
YEAH, YEAH. IT, IT'S, IT'S FINE. IT WAS JUST THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD. YEAH, SO.
ALL RIGHT. SO, 3242 WAS, IS RETIRING BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY INCLUDED, COUPLED UP.
3418, RESPONSE TO STUDENT INJURY OR ILLNESS.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? I, I HAD SENT SOME COMMENTS TO ALEX, AND SEAN, YOU GOT IT TOO. THEY, THEY ADJUSTED.
THERE WAS ONE TYPO. IT'S NOT IN THERE ANYMORE. THEY FIXED THE TYPO. UM, TH- THIS IS THE MODEL WASDA POLICY, AND IT, THE WAY IT READS, NOT LIKE IT'S HERE, IT SAYS SCHOOL STAFF WILL REFER TO THE JOINT, UM, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. IT DOESN'T MENTION OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. YOU ASSUME BOTH ARE WASHINGTON, BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT DOWN WASHINGTON IN BOTH, WHICH STILL SEEMED WEIRD TO ME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, BECAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S NO RCW LISTED BELOW, SO ASSUMING IT'S WASHINGTON DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. SO, THE ONLY CHANGES I REQUESTED WAS JUST OSPI AS A FULL, SINCE THAT'S OUR.
DEPARTMENT. UH, BUT OTHERWISE THIS MAKES SENSE.
WAIT, ARE YOU, SO ARE YOU SAYING, LIKE, IT SHOULD SAY SCHOOL STAFF WILL REFER TO THE JOINT WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH? I HAD SUGGESTED, YEAH, WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND, YOU KNOW.
AND THEN, AND THEN SPELL IT OUT SO OSPI IS OBVIOUSLY. THAT MAKES SENSE, YEAH.
[01:20:01]
SO THAT IT'S CLEAR.THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT.
WHOSE, WHOSE WOULD WE FOLLOW? BUT IF YOU, YOU JUST PUT IN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT, YOU COULD FIND ANYTHING. SO, YEAH.
THANK YOU FOR, ALEX ISN'T HERE, BUT THANK YOU, UH, AND ALEX FOR CHANGING THAT.
OKAY, 5004, INFECTIOUS INFECTION CONTROL PROGRAM.
NO. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. I WAS GOOD.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. UM, 6512, RETIRING BECAUSE IT'S INCLUDED IN 5004. WE GOOD? YEP.
AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. POLICIES, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, UM, RECESS OUR.
LOGISTICS, SORRY, HIDING DOWN THERE. OKAY. (INAUDIBLE) MM-HMM. (INAUDIBLE) PLANNING SESSION. WE TALKED ABOUT THE SCHOOL BOARD SESSION, AND SO I'VE CREATED A DOCUMENT BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID.
SO IF I GO INTO LOGISTICS HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE, SO THAT DOESN'T, BUT SOMEDAY IT, I'LL BE ABLE TO...YES. CLICK ON THAT. YES.
AND IT'LL TAKE ME TO WHERE I NEED TO GO. YES.
(INAUDIBLE). THAT, THAT AVAILABILITY WORKSHOP IS MY, THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I MEAN, THIS ALLIANCE IS WHAT I KINDA WANT. MY ONLY QUESTION IS, AS IT'S WRITTEN, IF I WERE A BUILDING ADMIN, HOW WOULD I FEEL ABOUT HOW... I GUESS I'M JUST WONDERING, LIKE, IF I WERE A PRINCIPAL AND THIS, I GOT THIS, LIKE, DOES IT READ RIGHT? DOES IT, DOES IT COME ACROSS RIGHT? LIKE, AGAIN, I JUST WORRY ALWAYS, LIKE, THIS IS THE MESSAGE THEY GET FROM US. RIGHT. IS IT GOING TO MAKE THEM MORE, PEOPLE MORE NERVOUS? THE EDUCATORS LIKE, OH, THE BOARD DOESN'T WANT A CLIPBOARD. I DON'T, I MEAN, I JUST WONDER.
I THINK WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING TO HELP.
SO THE, I MET WITH, UM, GRIFFIN AND DOUG.
THIS MORNING, AND WE REVIEWED THIS, AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A TEMPLATE FOR THE PRINCIPALS TO GIVE THEM SO THAT THEY CAN FOLLOW WHAT IT IS.
GRIFFIN AND DOUG ARE GOING TO MEET WITH EACH ONE OF THEM AND KIND OF GO THROUGH SO THAT WE'RE DO- WE'RE CONSISTENTLY DOING THE SAME AT EVERY SCHOOL.
BUT I THINK THAT YOU'LL FIND THAT 99% OF OUR PRINCIPALS...
(INAUDIBLE) GOOD. (INAUDIBLE) YEAH.
SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY GIVING THIS DIRECTLY TO THE PRINCIPALS. THEY'LL SEE THIS, BUT THEY'LL HAVE A TEMPLATE.
AND I ALSO FEEL LIKE, LIKE, DO WE NEED ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE VISIT, THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WILL, WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN THE CLASSROOM? I FEEL LIKE...
NO. (INAUDIBLE) RIGHT. AND I FEEL LIKE, LIKE I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN, IN ANY OF THE PARTICULAR CLASSROOMS WE'RE GOING TO. I WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, SORT OF MORE, WHAT IS THE SCHOOL FOCUSING ON, AND WHAT SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR IN THE CLASSROOMS THAT I GO.
TO? AND SO, THE TEACHER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE, OH MY GOD, THEY'RE COMING TO MY ROOM, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING, YOU KNOW, A WEEK FROM NEXT THURSDAY, AND OH GEEZ.
THE PRINCIPALS ARE GOING TO KNOW WHAT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. RIGHT.
BUT IF THEY, RIGHT, WHAT THEY NEED TO LOOK FOR, BUT IF THEY'RE SAYING WHAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE IN THE CLASSROOM, AND WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO LOOK FOR? SO, D- I DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE TO GO TO THAT TEACHER AND SAY, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING A WEEK FROM THURSDAY? CAUSE THE BOARD'S GOING TO COME INTO YOUR CLASSROOM LIKE, OH MY GOSH, I'M, I'LL DO THIS LESSON. YOU KNOW, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU, WHAT IS YOUR, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY YOUR POP TOA? WHAT SHOULD WE BE LOOKING FOR
[01:25:03]
IN YOUR CLASSROOMS? RIGHT.GRIFFIN AND JOHN'S IDEA WAS THE FEW THING WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON ARE LIKE MATH OR LITERACY.
YEAH. YEAH. SO, THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT IF (INAUDIBLE) WORKING ON MATH OR LITERACY.
AND HERE'S THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO LOOK AT.
AND THAT, AND FOR THE TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, SAME WITH LIKE LEARNING WALKS AND STUFF.
WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR AT THE KIDS AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND ENGAGING IN AND SEEING THOSE THINGS, NOT EVALUATING TEACHERS.
SO I THINK THAT WAS THE POINT OF OUR CONVERSATION, IS THAT IT, IT'S YOU'RE A PART OF THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE KIND OF ALONG, ALONGSIDE THE KIDS RATHER THAN JUST OBSERVING, AND THAT'S THE MESSAGE WE REALLY WANTED TO SEND, IS, IS WE'RE THERE TO BE RIGHT THERE WITH THE KIDS.
YEAH. THAT ANSWERS MY, I WASN'T WORRIED THAT IT WAS BAD, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE RECEIVED.
BECAUSE...I THINK IT IS GOING TO RECEIVED WELL. YEAH.
I MEAN, WE WANT TO TAKE THE STRESS OFF.
WELL, I- AND I ALMOST, YOU KNOW, I ALMOST WONDER TOO, IT'S LIKE THAT, THAT INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH, IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, SOFTEN THE BLOW A LITTLE BIT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, MAYBE WE SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT, LIKE, THESE, THESE BOARD VISITS ARE NOT EVALUATIVE.
RIGHT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO STRESS YOU OUT.
WE JUST WANT TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND BE ABLE TO TALK TO KIDS AND, UM.
SO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENTIONAL ON THAT.
YEAH, I MEAN, I, I MIGHT EVEN CALL THAT OUT, LIKE THESE ARE NOT EVALUATIVE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE JUST A CHANCE FOR US, LIKE, LIKE IT SAYS IN HERE.
RIGHT? JUST MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE LEARNING IN ACTION AND HEAR FROM PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT EVALUATIVE.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT IF WE'RE POPPING INTO YOUR CLASSROOM.
BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY, WE ARE NOT IN SCHOOLS ALL DAY.
SEEING KIDS EXPERIENCE, AND THIS IS HOW WE...
IT WOULD, SO THAT'S WHY I DO WANT, SHOULD WE PUT SOMETHING, TO YOUR POINT, COREY, ON, ON THIS FOR THEM? LIKE, HERE'S WHAT, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR YOU AND OUR INTENTIONALITY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE, AND OUR PHONES ARE AWAY, RIGHT? WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ON OUR PHONES. WE'RE THERE TO SIT, AND IF IT'S.
IF IT'S WITH PRE-K, WE'RE GOING TO BE READING, OR COREY'S GOING TO HAVE A HEADBAND ON, LIKE HE DID.
UM, BUT I, MAYBE WE JUST HAVE SOME LITTLE, HERE'S OUR PRINCIPLES WHY WE'RE THERE. WE WANT TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF WHAT YOU DO DAY IN AND OUT, RIGHT? AND WE WANT TO SEE THOSE CELEBRATIONS AND WONDERINGS AND.
YOU KNOW, AND IF IT DOESN'T FIT PERFECTLY WHAT'S DESCRIBED, THAT'S FINE.
YOU KNOW, I THINK SOME OF THE BEST THINGS WE HAD, LIKE WHEN WE WENT TO, TO HAYES EARLY AND WE SAT WITH THAT ONE STUDENT AND.
GET THEIR STORY, THAT WASN'T, WE COULDN'T HAVE PRESCRIBED THAT.
THAT FITS KIND OF THE, THE NARRATIVE, RIGHT? UM, OR YEAH, PLAYING WITH THE PRESCHOOLERS, THAT WAS FUN.
OR HAVING LUNCH AT DISCOVERY, AND WE JUST SAT BACK, AND IT WAS LIKE, LOOK AT THIS, THERE'S NOT KIDS WITH PHONES OUT. WE DON'T NEED THE STATE TO TELL THEM THEY CAN'T HAVE THEIR PHONES, RIGHT? WE SET A POLICY, AND THEN THE EDUCATORS PUSHED IT AND BECAME PART OF THE CULTURE. SO THAT WAS FASCINATING TO SEE, BUT...
AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER LOGISTICS? (INAUDIBLE) YEAH.
YEAH, WE'RE NOT STAYING IN SPOKANE FOR A MONTH ANYMORE? ANYBODY NOTICE THAT? YES. WE CUT THAT OFF BECAUSE WE ALL WERE TO STAY UNTIL DECEMBER 19TH.
AND I WAS LOOKING, I'M LIKE, THAT'S A LONG TIME.
I WAS WONDERING WHY THAT CAME.
YES, AND SO I, I TEXT, I'M LIKE, SHAUNA, I THINK THIS IS WRONG.
HE'S LIKE- I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT BE AN ERROR.
THIS TIME AROUND, I WAS ABLE TO GET BOTH OF YOUR, UM...
