[0:58] I'm Elanor High School, principal

[1:00] Anderson New Tech, and super excited to

[1:02] introduce Mr. Taylor Anderson to you,

[1:04] but I came up without my glasses. So

[1:06] even though I made my font really big

[1:08] [laughter]

[1:14] for

[1:16] so I have um come on

[1:21] and uh from different staff members um

[1:26] you you've been selected. You're you're

[1:28] quiet but um super diligent in the way

[1:31] that you treat other people. You're very

[1:33] kind. Your follow through Taylor is

[1:35] amazing. So we asked Taylor to do

[1:38] something. He never forgets whether it's

[1:40] summer, it's after school, anytime is

[1:42] dependable, which just gives me extra

[1:45] hope for the entire future. Um because

[1:48] there's so many people that like forget,

[1:50] you know, you get busy, but you get

[1:53] busy, but you still remember. So we very

[1:55] much appreciate that about you and it

[1:56] was a common thing. Um, but I will start

[1:59] out too by saying that uh Taylor's going

[2:02] to graduate fully opportunity bound.

[2:04] He's got all his doors open. He's going

[2:06] to be A to G, have a full CTE pathway,

[2:09] several certifications in auto. Um,

[2:12] eligible for really anything he wants

[2:14] to. He'll have college classes

[2:15] completed, community service,

[2:17] internship, and um just an amazing human

[2:20] being. Thank you for

[2:23] sharing him with us. Um, Miss Morphw

[2:27] says, "This member of leadership at New

[2:28] Techch, Taylor Anderson, consistently

[2:31] goes above and beyond. Puts extra effort

[2:33] into everything he does. Positive

[2:35] attitude and encouragement helps others

[2:37] to see the bright side of every

[2:39] situation. He's always respectful,

[2:41] supportive, and willing to lend a

[2:43] helping hand. He's a wonderful example

[2:45] of the kind of leader who brings out the

[2:47] best in others. Just such a great

[2:50] attribute. We love having Taylor as part

[2:52] of our team. Mr. Peterson was a

[2:54] leadership teacher last year. Taylor is

[2:57] a wonderful gentleman. I have had him

[2:59] for the last few years in studies

[3:00] classes and in leadership. Taylor is a

[3:03] leader who leads through service. Taylor

[3:05] can always be counted on to take up a

[3:07] task no matter how unglamorous and do

[3:10] the best job as possible. Sets a

[3:12] wonderful example to those around him.

[3:14] The community of Anderson Tech has a

[3:16] great one in Taylor and we are very

[3:17] fortunate and proud. Um, Miss Savage

[3:20] added very similarly. Um, but special

[3:24] kudos because we ended up we purchased

[3:27] some new furniture. It all came

[3:29] unassembled.

[3:31] » And [laughter] Mr. Taylor Anderson, he

[3:34] he finishes things. He does not forget

[3:36] to put all of the parts together. And

[3:38] our furniture is sturdy, stable, and

[3:40] assembled and and all in his summertime.

[3:43] Came in many days helped Miss Sarah

[3:46] waxing, moving furniture. Um, our newest

[3:49] teacher, Mr. Bird, is like, he didn't

[3:51] even know who I was. And he's walking in

[3:53] and and like, "Where do you like where

[3:54] would you like these tables?" And after

[3:56] he introduces himself, which is such a

[3:58] nice thing, and he was just like, "This

[4:00] kid is amazing." Um, so he's commented

[4:03] on the back as well. But, uh, we just

[4:06] stay afloat with students like Taylor

[4:08] and are super grateful. So,

[4:09] congratulations.

[4:10] » Thank you so much. [applause]

[4:18] We were like here's your certificate

[4:20] [clears throat]

[4:21] and this is for you. So they got

[4:24] suggestions and it was really hard to

[4:26] pick. Usually I have guidelines and this

[4:30] I kept going about what about this and

[4:35] you were really hard. So I hope you like

[4:37] it.

[4:38] » So it was really good.

[4:41] [laughter]

[4:47] Thanks, Taylor.

[4:56] » All right, people. We will move into

[4:58] close session.

[5:02] » Oh,

[5:09] recognize here.

[5:17] Thank you so much.

[5:25] » Colton's super sweet kid. Really love

[5:27] him. His teacher said, "We are proud to

[5:29] recognize Colton as our student of the

[5:31] month. Colton consistently demonstrates

[5:33] perseverance by staying on task and the

[5:35] courage to try new things. He advocates

[5:37] for himself by asking for help when

[5:38] needed, listens well, treats others with

[5:40] courtesy, and is always willing to lend

[5:41] a hand. Colton has shown tremendous

[5:43] growth and continues to make excellent

[5:45] progress towards earning his credits and

[5:46] achieving his goals. His positive

[5:48] attitude, growing confidence, and

[5:50] maturity have been wonderful to see.

[5:51] Colton is a great addition to our campus

[5:53] community and is very deserving of this

[5:55] recognition.

[5:57] [applause]

[6:02] So what we do is the principles give me

[6:05] suggestions and so what Colton's

[6:08] suggestion was was a I can say this

[6:11] [laughter] it was new religion so I got

[6:13] him a new religion um sweatshirt today

[6:16] and so that's what he got. Um the other

[6:20] gentleman he he was hard so he got anala

[6:23] water bottle some jerky. I usually never

[6:27] get gift cards at all blank ones, but he

[6:30] got a Visa one for $25 and a Starbucks

[6:33] one. And it's because Elanor said he was

[6:35] really responsible, so that's why he got

[6:37] the visa one. Um the other gifts have

[6:40] been different things from tools from

[6:42] bands to um going to the light show at

[6:48] Sundial Bridge. So is different things

[6:50] that the kids um typically don't do. So

[6:53] that's the different things that come

[6:55] with the students of health. So I know

[6:57] the comments have been people want to

[6:59] see what they get. So that was kind of a

[7:02] snapshot.

[7:06] » Thank you Stacey for all that you do. Um

[7:08] we will move to the first session

[51:38] like to call this meeting back in order.

[51:40] We have our flag salute led by Mattie

[51:43] Madlin.

[51:49] I aliance to the flag of the United

[51:52] States of America and to the republic

[51:55] for it stands. One nation under God,

[51:58] indivisible, with liberty and justice

[52:00] for all.

[52:12] » Okay, we have 3.2 two approves the

[55:58] representatives will report on athletics

[56:00] activities and academics.

[56:07] » West Valley. [laughter]

[56:12] Okay. So, I have a little bit of a

[56:13] different

[56:15] number going on.

[56:18] This is our monthly weekly update that

[56:21] was prepared by science office

[56:31] and then something new for this year.

[56:35] Don't touch these just yet, but I have

[56:40] my

[56:44] » This is so exciting. [laughter]

[56:55] Yeah, that's far.

[57:01] » I understand.

[57:03] [laughter]

[57:06] » All right, you ready?

[57:08] » We are.

[57:08] » All right, good evening everybody. It's

[57:10] good to see you guys all again and even

[57:11] a new face. Uh, for those of you who do

[57:13] not know, my name is Jacob Garcia and

[57:15] I'm the ASB president this year at West

[57:17] Valley. It's an honor and it's going to

[57:19] be a great year. I'm a senior, so this

[57:22] is kind of my sort of last harrah for

[57:24] West Valley after being in leadership

[57:26] for three years. I get to really help

[57:28] shape what West Valley gets to look like

[57:30] and what it gets to look like for the

[57:31] years to come after I graduate. As many

[57:34] of you, as many of you guys know, we

[57:35] start this year with a lot of change and

[57:38] that can be difficult, but it's also

[57:40] brought new energy. So, I want to

[57:42] recognize our leadership adviser, Mr.

[57:43] James O'Brien, who can't be here, but he

[57:46] has been a steady guide going into new

[57:48] leadership and also our new principal,

[57:51] Mrs. Simson. She supports us and

[57:53] leadership in a way that makes us feel

[57:55] trusted and supported and she's just

[57:57] overall amazing. Therefore, tonight,

[58:00] instead of giving you a long list of

[58:01] dates or just a calendar, I want to

[58:03] share with you a snapshot of our school

[58:05] through my lens, which is a student

[58:07] lens. So right now, West Valley is

[58:09] alive. From what I can see, our crazy

[58:12] crew has brought the dance to life.

[58:13] Whether that is music, dancing, from

[58:16] Sweet Caroline to the Penn State walkout

[58:18] song to the YMCA, we are just doing it

[58:20] all. We have our back to school rally

[58:23] and it was electric. Our colorants

[58:25] brought in 300 students back on

[58:27] September 11th. Uh football is two in

[58:30] one, volleyball's 12 and two, and

[58:32] there's just athletic momentum for the

[58:34] Eagles. But it's not just about these

[58:36] big events that I get to tell you guys

[58:38] about. I want to also tell you guys

[58:39] about the small important events. Every

[58:42] Friday at lunch, music is on. Games like

[58:44] tug-of-war or musical chairs bring

[58:46] people in and it feels like students are

[58:48] genuinely connecting. And maybe that's

[58:50] because of less phone time, but all that

[58:52] matters is more time being present with

[58:54] each other is happening. And that's the

[58:56] less value I want to share with you guys

[58:58] tonight. So, each of you have an

[59:00] envelope in front of you with your name

[59:01] on it. You can go ahead and open them

[59:03] now and read it to yourselves while I

[59:05] keep talking to you guys. Inside you'll

[59:08] find a picture or pictures. Jackie, I

[59:10] included a couple. I couldn't pick one.

[59:13] That is from the past month and a

[59:14] handwritten passion I gave to you guys.

[59:17] Administration. I didn't have enough

[59:18] envelopes, but there is four pictures

[59:20] that I had extra for you guys. And I

[59:22] divided West Valley's story over the

[59:24] past month into six different

[59:26] categories. Those are student life on

[59:28] campus, academics, athletics, policy and

[59:32] action, student life outside of school,

[59:35] and even clubs. If you want, hold them

[59:37] up to the audience, show them off

[59:39] because I would too if I had [laughter]

[59:40] them. And these are snapshots that

[59:43] explain something more than words. These

[59:45] pictures are yours to keep, and I'll

[59:47] bring another each month, and I'll bring

[59:49] more even the next month. So, by the end

[59:51] of the year in May, I hope you have a

[59:53] little collection of what looks like.

[59:56] It's real students. It's real events.

[59:58] It's real snapshot in all real time

[1:00:01] because I want to bring with you

[1:00:02] something other than dates. I want you

[1:00:04] to see what West Valley is actually

[1:00:05] about. And West Valley is truly

[1:00:07] threatening. There's a lot ahead. We

[1:00:10] have homecoming week on October 16th

[1:00:12] where we take on the WA miners with a

[1:00:14] rally, a parade, a dance, and spirit

[1:00:16] packed within just five school days.

[1:00:18] There's the fall festival FFA is hosting

[1:00:20] pretty soon. And our life science

[1:00:22] classes are experimenting with real

[1:00:24] animal bones. I think you got that one.

[1:00:26] The real animal bones that were donated

[1:00:28] by the Shasta County, who got the animal

[1:00:30] bones? They were donated by the Shasta

[1:00:32] County corer's office just about last

[1:00:34] week. And also that life science classes

[1:00:36] are also experimenting with our new

[1:00:39] interactive antimmage table, which is a

[1:00:41] 3D screen with the anatomy of the human

[1:00:44] body at your fingertips. And if this

[1:00:46] first month report is any sign to you,

[1:00:48] let it be that I am excited for the rest

[1:00:50] of the school year. And thank you. I'll

[1:00:52] take any questions you have about the

[1:00:54] pictures or West Valley because it was

[1:00:55] hard to only pick one. So, if you have

[1:00:57] any questions about what's happening at

[1:00:58] Bowen, let me know.

[1:01:00] » I don't think you should be able to go

[1:01:01] first.

[1:01:03] [laughter]

[1:01:04] » I I've done it. I've done it I think

[1:01:06] what seven times. So, I have to

[1:01:09] » You set the

[1:01:11] » We love you.

[1:01:12] » Yeah. Thank you.

[1:01:13] » You got my favorite one.

[1:01:14] » That's the best.

[1:01:17] so often as as as a board member I I

[1:01:20] don't get to see that those things. So,

[1:01:22] thank you.

[1:01:24] » THANK YOU GUYS.

[1:01:27] » [applause]

[1:01:36] » WE'LL GO AHEAD AND have

[1:01:44] some for you guys.

[1:01:51] » All right. Um, good evening members of

[1:01:53] the board. Mr. food staff and community.

[1:06:07] days than typically is made in a week of

[1:06:11] any other competitions which so cool.

[1:06:15] And forestry club and competition

[1:06:19] leadup trainings to prepare our team are

[1:06:21] underway with Mr. Lewis and local

[1:06:25] forester and tech alumni

[1:06:27] Shane Stewart.

[1:06:30] We will have the ASVAB assessment in

[1:06:33] October.

[1:06:35] 30 seniors or juniors and some staff

[1:06:38] will have the amazing opportunity to get

[1:06:41] CPR certified on October 16th.

[1:06:47] That is all I have for you.

[1:06:51] » Thank you very much for your detailed

[1:06:53] report. I do. I just want to let you

[1:06:54] know um one thing that impacted me most

[1:06:56] about your report is even at a

[1:06:58] non-traditional site, you have access to

[1:07:00] do so many extracurricular and

[1:07:02] co-curricular things on top of your

[1:07:03] academics. So, I just want to commend

[1:07:05] you for that and for taking advantage of

[1:07:07] those things.

[1:07:08] » Thank you so much. [applause]

[1:07:25] Good evening, board.

[1:07:27] So, I'm going to partially wing it

[1:07:30] tonight. Uh, we we had a few students

[1:07:34] that could not make it and Miss Wonder

[1:07:36] who has the report is home with a

[1:07:39] migraine.

[1:07:40] So, um, this is going to be relatively

[1:07:43] brief, but as well, you'll get the

[1:07:46] student report sent to you probably

[1:07:49] tomorrow.

[1:07:51] So,

[1:07:52] they're kind of all over the place. Um,

[1:07:55] I want to highlight Emma Richardson,

[1:07:57] who's our drama theater teacher that

[1:08:00] serves the district. Um, I've had an

[1:08:02] opportunity of observing her, and I'd

[1:08:06] encourage you as board members to

[1:08:08] observe her. Uh she's fun to watch, very

[1:08:12] interactive. She has um we had zero

[1:08:15] students before this school year started

[1:08:17] because it wasn't something that was in

[1:08:20] our course offerings when counselors

[1:08:22] went around and we have 17 students in

[1:08:25] there now. Um possibly at semester we

[1:08:30] can we can open up two sections here,

[1:08:32] but right now one section. And yeah,

[1:08:35] like I said, it's it's a lot of fun.

[1:08:37] Really dynamic. guys. She's a blast. She

[1:08:40] she plays the games and everything with

[1:08:42] the students and just has has a lot of

[1:08:44] fun and as well, you know, creating a a

[1:08:49] safe environment where they they feel

[1:08:51] like they can participate fully and uh

[1:08:54] and stretches them. So, she's she's able

[1:08:56] to do that because of how safe they

[1:08:58] feel.

[1:09:00] And we have an AP Spanish this year. So,

[1:09:04] Mr. grant um is teaching AP Spanish and

[1:09:08] we do have students that are coming in

[1:09:10] that are very near AP Spanish level. So,

[1:09:14] it's good now that we're able to offer

[1:09:16] that. Um, we have a temporary campus

[1:09:20] supervisor who is also our head

[1:09:22] basketball coach and he uh has expressed

[1:09:26] to me on a couple occasions on different

[1:09:29] days that we have really nice kids and

[1:09:32] so he's so impressed. Um, just he's able

[1:09:35] to have conversations with them. Um, you

[1:09:37] know, he said he's had to to say hi a

[1:09:41] few times to to some of them, but now

[1:09:43] they're they're starting to warm up. And

[1:09:46] uh we do have really great kids. So it's

[1:09:48] neat when people echo that. Um girls

[1:09:53] tennis, they're seeking new challenges.

[1:09:55] Um they're they're very good and um

[1:10:00] we're going to have them all intact next

[1:10:03] year as well. Pretty much all of them

[1:10:05] intact. So they they are uh they're very

[1:10:08] hard to beat. Um they went down to

[1:10:11] Clovis down Fresno and they they went

[1:10:14] undefeated down there. Uh their biggest

[1:10:17] challenge is they took on Pleasant

[1:10:20] Valley um just as a scrimmage and they

[1:10:25] they got to see what a lot of club girls

[1:10:28] tennis players are like and and that

[1:10:31] raised the bar for them. But um but

[1:10:32] they're very very resilient, very eager

[1:10:35] for challenges. Um,

[1:10:39] let's see. Our blue crew has received

[1:10:43] praise from from officials, which is

[1:10:46] nice. They're loud. They're rowdy, but

[1:10:49] they're very respectful um and

[1:10:51] encouraging.

[1:10:53] So

[1:10:55] those students, you know, a lot of

[1:10:56] leadership students that are they're

[1:10:58] involved there and and it's good to be

[1:11:01] able to to have the officials turn

[1:11:04] around and see them and smiling at them

[1:11:06] instead of wanting a thorough mouth.

[1:11:09] Uh we're currently this year we have our

[1:11:12] our Wasp midcycle

[1:11:14] um review. So just finished a a report

[1:11:19] and we'll have a a meeting with Wasp on

[1:11:22] that.

[1:11:23] um just going over, you know, any

[1:11:25] revisions that we needed for our school.

[1:11:27] We set goals three years ago and so just

[1:11:30] talking about those revisions with them.

[1:11:33] And a big one uh this Friday for us, so

[1:11:37] we entered into the T-Mobile Friday

[1:11:40] night 5G lights competition and we we

[1:11:44] won the $5,000. So they'll they'll be

[1:11:47] here on Friday to set up a booze and do

[1:11:50] presentation of that. um really large

[1:11:53] check and then um and we actually got

[1:11:55] the real check too. Um but but then

[1:11:59] we're also in the competition to try and

[1:12:02] get a field upgrade. So a million-dollar

[1:12:04] field upgrade. And so if you go out to

[1:12:07] the football field, you'll see how to

[1:12:10] how to support us. And what's nice, it's

[1:12:13] not really a competition against anybody

[1:12:15] around here. So if uh you feel this area

[1:12:19] is your community then support us. Uh

[1:12:22] get on get on uh Instagram

[1:12:25] and uh try to help us out. Be nice to

[1:12:28] get a new field.

[1:12:30] Any questions?

[1:12:33] Thank you.

[1:12:36] [applause]

[1:12:52] Good evening board members and Mr.

[1:12:58] » I don't tell

[1:13:02] [laughter]

[1:13:05] and community

[1:13:08] that's

[1:13:52] My My name is Nora and I'm a senior at

[1:13:54] North Valley High School. I'm here

[1:13:55] tonight to give you an update on some of

[1:13:58] the things happening in our alternative

[1:14:00] education program this year. Community

[1:14:02] Day is now a program with North Valley

[1:14:04] instead of operating as its own school.

[1:14:07] One of the benefits is that students

[1:14:09] have more opportunities to move between

[1:14:11] community day and North Valley as they

[1:14:14] make progress. Teachers can also rotate

[1:14:16] between the programs and the schools are

[1:14:19] now on the same bell and bus schedules.

[1:14:22] Student students are also sharing buses

[1:14:26] with Anderson and West Valley which has

[1:14:28] opened up more transportation

[1:14:32] options for students who might

[1:14:35] um otherwise have trouble getting into

[1:14:37] school. Oak View High School has also

[1:14:40] had some really big changes. OPU moved

[1:14:42] to a new building and the entire school

[1:14:45] is being remodeled. The program

[1:14:47] continues to grow and the new campus is

[1:14:50] going to give Oakview students a much

[1:14:52] better school environment. We're excited

[1:14:55] for everyone to be able to see it once

[1:14:57] everything is finished at North Valley.

[1:14:59] The campus already looks completely

[1:15:01] different. The classrooms have been

[1:15:03] remodeled. There are new student desks

[1:15:05] and the school just feels nicer to be

[1:15:08] at. The campus has such a different vibe

[1:15:10] compared different vibe compared to last

[1:15:13] year. Students and staff seem to be in

[1:15:16] better spirit and overall it's just feel

[1:15:19] it just feels like a more positive

[1:15:21] place. There are also new things

[1:15:24] happening this year. Peer court is

[1:15:26] supported supposed to start this month

[1:15:30] which will give students a chance to be

[1:15:33] involved in helping other students take

[1:15:36] accountability for their action for

[1:15:39] their actions. We have also have a new

[1:15:42] credit tracking system that makes it

[1:15:44] easier for us to see how we make credit

[1:15:47] we are earning

[1:15:49] to see how much credit we are earning

[1:15:51] and where we stand towards graduation.

[1:15:54] It also gives us something to work to

[1:15:56] work toward and makes it easier to have

[1:16:00] conversation with our teachers about our

[1:16:03] progress. There have also been higher

[1:16:06] expectations for our students behavior

[1:16:08] and safety this year, including the new

[1:16:11] no bag policy. It was definitely an

[1:16:13] adjustment at first, but expectations on

[1:16:17] campus are clear, especially when it

[1:16:18] comes to drugs and other that can

[1:16:22] interfere with school. We also have some

[1:16:26] exciting changes in our classes. Mr.

[1:16:28] Johnson is teaching culinary arts again,

[1:16:31] which is super great and gives students

[1:16:33] another another hands-on opportunity on

[1:16:36] campus. Mr. Bixby has also been a great

[1:16:40] addition to North Valley. A lot of

[1:16:41] students are having a great time working

[1:16:44] with him and helping him build up the

[1:16:45] weight training program.

[1:16:49] Anderson Adult School is making changes,

[1:16:51] too. The acrylic acrylic

[1:16:54] acrylic

[1:16:57] curriculum is being updated and there

[1:17:01] are more opportunities for students from

[1:17:03] other schools in the district to use

[1:17:06] adult school for credit recovery while

[1:17:08] still being enrolled at the regular

[1:17:10] school. Overall, there has been a lot of

[1:17:12] changes across alternative education.

[1:17:15] But from a student's perspective, it

[1:17:17] feels like the progre the progresses are

[1:17:20] moving in a really positive direction.

[1:17:23] The campus the campuses are improving.

[1:17:26] There are more opportunities for

[1:17:27] students. Expectations are clearer and

[1:17:31] there seems to be a lot of effort going

[1:17:33] into making these school these schools

[1:17:36] places where students can be successful.

[1:17:39] Thank you for continuing to support our

[1:17:43] programs and our students.

[1:17:47] » [applause]

[1:17:54] » Would recommend gone down to north

[1:17:58] modernization complete. It's really

[1:18:00] nice.

[1:18:04] Okay, so we're going to move on to 4.1

[1:18:07] which is public comment period. This is

[1:18:10] public hearing. This public hearing is

[1:18:12] to determine whether sufficient

[1:18:13] textbooks and instructional materials

[1:18:15] are being provided for the 2026 2027

[1:18:18] school year. This public hearing is to

[1:18:20] determine whether sufficient textbooks

[1:18:22] and instructional materials are being

[1:18:24] provided to each student in mathematics,

[1:18:27] science, science laboratories, social

[1:18:29] science, foreign language and English

[1:18:31] language arts, including the English

[1:18:33] language development component of an

[1:18:35] adopted program consistent with the

[1:18:37] disciples and content of the curriculum

[1:18:39] frameworks. Do we have any public

[1:18:41] comment?

[1:18:50] We will move on to consent items.

[1:18:53] » Oh, did you have a comment?

[1:18:55] » I did.

[1:18:58] » 4.2. Okay. Thank you. Uh, the board will

[1:19:01] comments from the public on agenda or

[1:19:03] non-aggenda items.

[1:19:11] I just had a question. Um, there's a

[1:19:14] rumor that West Valley and Anderson are

[1:19:18] going to chirp for their football fields

[1:19:22] and I just don't remember I just want to

[1:19:24] know if that is it a rumor or is it

[1:19:27] going to come to where it will be a

[1:19:29] vote?

[1:19:31] I just don't remember hearing anything

[1:19:32] about it.

[1:19:34] And so

[1:19:36] » Can you repeat your question? Did you

[1:19:37] say West Valley and Anderson for turf

[1:19:40] » For turf for their football fields?

[1:19:42] » Thank you.

[1:19:44] » Would you mind?

[1:19:45] » Yeah, we are currently exploring those

[1:19:47] options and looking at what it will take

[1:19:50] to modernize both stadiums going that

[1:19:53] direction. Uh we're in the initial

[1:19:55] beginning phases of that. cost will play

[1:19:58] a big factor in the decision as we move

[1:20:02] forward. But

[1:20:05] you got to understand we're dealing with

[1:20:07] Anderson High that was updated in 2009

[1:20:11] but West Valley stands never been

[1:20:13] updated. So the ADA compliance is

[1:20:16] probably going to be significant and we

[1:20:18] have not we're like I said we're in the

[1:20:21] beginning phases of looking at what it's

[1:20:23] going to take to bring that up to

[1:20:26] standard and it would include those turf

[1:20:28] fields if we go that direction.

[1:20:32] » Would it be just set in stone or would

[1:20:34] it be something that would be brought up

[1:20:36] that we speak about? point though it'll

[1:20:39] be an agendaized item for approval

[1:20:42] because from the preliminary costs that

[1:20:45] I've talked to a number of people just

[1:20:49] the turf alone is probably $2 million

[1:20:52] per that doesn't include the ADA

[1:20:55] compliance that we'll have to do on top

[1:20:57] of that so it's a large chunk of money

[1:21:00] and that definitely comes forward

[1:21:04] and

[1:21:06] even if that is feasible We're not quite

[1:21:08] sure yet. We haven't got the full

[1:21:10] ramifications.

[1:21:14] » Thank you.

[1:21:17] » Do you have a concern of TUR versus

[1:21:19] » I do.

[1:21:20] » Okay. And that's why I just wanted to

[1:21:22] know if it was set in stone or if we had

[1:21:25] an option to speak about it at that

[1:21:27] time.

[1:21:28] I want to know your concern about your

[1:21:42] Good evening. My name is Sydney Frost.

[1:21:44] I'm 17 years old and currently a senior

[1:21:46] here at Anderson High School. I would

[1:21:48] like to start by thanking you all for

[1:21:50] allowing me to speak tonight. I'm here

[1:21:52] to speak in regards to the Anderson and

[1:21:54] West Valley graduations being held on

[1:21:56] the same day at the same time. I would

[1:21:59] like to propose that this subject be

[1:22:02] added to the October agenda.

[1:22:05] As a student of this year's graduating

[1:22:07] class, this subject connects to me on a

[1:22:09] personal level as some of my closest

[1:22:11] friends attend West Valley and also are

[1:22:14] a part of this graduating class. It has

[1:22:16] come to my attention that families and

[1:22:18] staff members are also being affected by

[1:22:21] this subject each year. I understand

[1:22:23] that the date has already been set and

[1:22:25] approved and legal aspects would put a

[1:22:27] large dent in the ability to move

[1:22:29] forward with separating these dates.

[1:22:31] However, I would like to propose some

[1:22:33] solutions which include proposing a

[1:22:35] memorandum of understanding to the union

[1:22:38] and the teachers adjusting the current

[1:22:40] contract to include a change in date. I

[1:22:43] also understand that West Valley has

[1:22:45] already missed a day of school on August

[1:22:47] 27th due to a p power outage and there

[1:22:50] is a scheduled makeup day in March.

[1:22:52] However, it could maybe be changed to

[1:22:55] make be made up in June to allow an

[1:22:57] additional day of school where the

[1:22:59] graduation could be held.

[1:23:01] Unfortunately, I will be unable to

[1:23:03] attend the October board meeting as I

[1:23:06] will be in Indianapolis, Indiana for a

[1:23:08] national FFA convention. But I am

[1:23:11] prepared to have answers to any

[1:23:12] questions you may have as well as

[1:23:14] supplying supporting information written

[1:23:16] to be pres presented by a fellow

[1:23:18] classmate. If moving the date is

[1:23:20] completely out of the question, I would

[1:23:22] like to propose that the times of the

[1:23:24] graduations are separated within two to

[1:23:27] three hours of each other in order to

[1:23:28] make it possible for families and

[1:23:30] graduates to attend and support each

[1:23:33] other. I know that the district health

[1:23:35] has also been a topic of conversation

[1:23:37] lately and I would and I think this

[1:23:39] would be a great step and the right

[1:23:41] direction to bring the schools closer

[1:23:42] [cough] together, promote support and

[1:23:44] goodwill within our schools. Thank you

[1:23:46] for your time and consideration tonight.

[1:23:48] Does anybody have any questions for me?

[1:23:51] » I want to just say thank you. I did see

[1:23:53] your email come through and that

[1:23:54] correspondence and thank you for showing

[1:23:56] up and still requesting the item even

[1:23:57] though you can't be here in October. Um

[1:24:00] but especially thank you for coming with

[1:24:02] solutions. That is something we don't

[1:24:03] often hear and I appreciate that and I

[1:24:06] commend you.

[1:24:20] » My name is Chris Stevens and I'm here

[1:24:24] tonight because what started out as a

[1:24:26] family asking questions has grown into

[1:24:28] something much larger. Um over the past

[1:24:31] several months,

[1:24:32] [clears throat and cough] we've seen uh

[1:24:33] we've been compiling a child welfare

[1:24:37] oversight dossier. Um it's up to 365

[1:24:40] pages now. Um the dossier contains

[1:24:44] records, communications, timelines, and

[1:24:47] experiences from families. Um this work

[1:24:50] is continued. I'm working with Jessica

[1:24:52] Saxon, who is a civil rights litigator

[1:24:54] out of uh Blunt County, Tennessee. Uh

[1:24:59] as this work has continued, more parents

[1:25:01] and families in Shasta County and in the

[1:25:03] Anderson area have all come forward um

[1:25:06] with concerns that deserve to be heard.

[1:25:09] Uh we're asking for an independent audit

[1:25:11] to be done at this point. uh the school

[1:25:15] district, school district personnel,

[1:25:17] child welfare, um they've all uh

[1:25:21] colluded together in some different ways

[1:25:24] um to block parents who still have their

[1:25:27] head rights from accessing the areas. Um

[1:25:31] we have multiple parents that have seen

[1:25:33] come forward and we're continuing to

[1:25:35] document those patterns. And so I

[1:25:37] brought it to the board before and we're

[1:25:39] just asking for an outside audit at this

[1:25:42] point.

[1:25:54] Have you already contacted the district

[1:25:56] office to provide your documentation and

[1:25:59] request?

[1:26:00] » I have and we had a uh closed session

[1:26:03] board meeting. Um Jackie was not part of

[1:26:06] that close session board meeting and

[1:26:08] then since that uh more parents have

[1:26:10] come forward with more documentation. So

[1:26:14] » So right I remember that close session

[1:26:17] meeting. Is this the first time you're

[1:26:18] coming back though with more

[1:26:19] information?

[1:26:20] » Yes ma'am.

[1:26:21] » Okay. Um

[1:26:23] can we coordinate to get that

[1:26:25] information from you?

[1:26:26] » We can. Yeah. We can provide with the

[1:26:27] dossier and all the records.

[1:26:29] » Okay. That'd be great.

[1:26:31] » Thank you students. Thank you.

[1:26:42] This is like not anything off the

[1:26:43] agenda. I just want to give a shout out

[1:26:44] to um West Valley for being the early

[1:26:49] college. Um I want to encourage you guys

[1:26:51] to talk to anybody that wants to take

[1:26:54] honors classes to do that. Um, I have

[1:26:57] two kids that are entering into the

[1:26:58] military right now and they are actually

[1:27:00] able to utilize their college credits um

[1:27:03] to rank above what they would normally

[1:27:06] start at. So, I would encourage anybody

[1:27:09] if your kid is not on the college

[1:27:11] course, still take college course um

[1:27:14] classes because they can be utilized in

[1:27:16] other areas.

[1:27:26] Thank you so much for all of your

[1:27:28] comments. Um,

[1:27:34] we're going to move on. Is um I actually

[1:27:36] before we move on, are you able to send

[1:27:39] your dates and your proposed ideas to

[1:27:41] Mr. Parker?

[1:27:42] » Yes.

[1:27:42] » Okay, that would be great. I would love

[1:27:44] that. Thank you. I think your solutions

[1:27:46] are great.

[1:27:48] » Thank you for coming.

[1:27:55] My

[1:27:57] earlier move on to consent now and with

[1:28:03] consent. Uh these are considered and are

[1:28:06] acted on by the board as one motion.

[1:28:10] Does anybody want to pull any items from

[1:28:13] consent?

[1:28:17] 5.1 to 5.8.

[1:28:22] We approve all

[1:28:24] » Second. All in favor?

[1:28:26] » I I

[1:28:33] » Okay, there were no items to move from

[1:28:35] the consent agenda. We're going to move

[1:28:36] into human resources now. 6.2

[1:28:40] 2026 2027 mandated training statements

[1:28:43] for district employees.

[1:28:45] Um, Michaela,

[1:28:48] do you have a vote on this?

[1:28:55] » Motions

[1:28:59] to approve.

[1:29:02] » All in favor?

[1:29:06] » I'd like to discuss this for a moment.

[1:29:09] Um,

[1:29:12] I think those are mandated trainings

[1:29:14] that

[1:29:16] we're already getting paid to do and

[1:29:20] should be done regardless whether you

[1:29:22] paid additional money to do or not. I

[1:29:26] think it's additional draw on funds that

[1:29:30] we already

[1:29:32] are going to be seeing increases on. I

[1:29:34] don't know if that was taken into

[1:29:35] account. Diesel's $3 more a gallon right

[1:29:39] now. So, our expenses are going to be

[1:29:41] increasing. When you look at the costs,

[1:29:44] we're not going to see that right now.

[1:29:45] Currently, when you analyze costs that

[1:29:48] we can afford it, you're going to see it

[1:29:50] in months to come. You're going to see

[1:29:52] cost of goods increasing months to come.

[1:29:55] Even on this is a one-time cost. Our

[1:29:58] expenses for everything else are going

[1:30:00] to increase. It's not that I don't agree

[1:30:02] with helping teachers. I 100% agree with

[1:30:04] helping teachers. I think if we're

[1:30:06] helping them right now, we can help them

[1:30:08] in other ways. We can help them with um

[1:30:11] what they need in the classroom. I think

[1:30:12] we can help them more with how we need

[1:30:14] to address AI. We can help them with

[1:30:16] counseling aspects for kids. We can help

[1:30:19] them with other things. We don't need to

[1:30:21] pay them for how they're already being

[1:30:22] paid. I reached out to other teachers in

[1:30:25] other areas and they laughed about

[1:30:27] getting paid for what they already do. I

[1:30:30] know I already I'm mandated to do a

[1:30:33] bunch of trainings on my own position

[1:30:35] and other positions I made in other

[1:30:37] counties. Um

[1:30:39] then it keeps getting added on and yes I

[1:30:43] have to do it on my time and I have to

[1:30:45] do it.

[1:30:48] It's not that I don't value teachers at

[1:30:50] all. I 100% value teachers.

[1:30:53] I just think we already paying them and

[1:30:55] we already have a salary. I don't think

[1:30:57] we need to pay the mortgage

[1:31:00] that they already do. So I don't

[1:31:05] have a discussion.

[1:31:07] » Jennifer, do you think it's going to

[1:31:09] impact our budget very much

[1:31:16] » At this time in the future? We don't

[1:31:18] know.

[1:31:21] » Yes. But these funds also can be used in

[1:31:24] other ways. So, if we draw these funds

[1:31:27] right now, you don't know what your

[1:31:29] expenses are going to be next month or

[1:31:31] the following months because you still

[1:31:33] right now it's $8 a gallon. So, our

[1:31:37] transportation costs, you know, right

[1:31:38] now, you don't know what your

[1:31:40] transportation costs are going to be

[1:31:42] three months from now when you're

[1:31:43] transporting all our athletics. You

[1:31:46] don't know what the cost of our energy

[1:31:48] is going to be three months from now. We

[1:31:50] know what the costs are right now. We

[1:31:52] don't know what the fiscal costs are

[1:31:53] going to be down the future. So at this

[1:31:56] point,

[1:31:58] we don't know. So I know we don't can't

[1:32:02] say that. So it depends if you want to

[1:32:04] be conservative or not. So that's just

[1:32:07] my opinion on things, but that's what my

[1:32:10] job is. So that's what I look at. So

[1:32:12] right now, yes. Um, I just think if

[1:32:17] we're bound and determined to spend this

[1:32:19] dollar amount, I know this first zone

[1:32:21] out was $100,000.

[1:32:23] Um, that's a lot of money. And I think

[1:32:28] it can get spent on kids done different

[1:32:30] ways. It can get spent if you want to

[1:32:32] spend them on teachers. It can get spent

[1:32:34] on other ways also. But if we want to

[1:32:37] pay them more money for doing the job

[1:32:39] they already do,

[1:32:47] We have another

[1:32:52] question.

[1:32:57] Um, what was the calculated total for

[1:32:59] all of us?

[1:33:00] » Well, it depends. I'm

[1:33:04] 180 around 90,000. Uh but that's every

[1:33:10] single week.

[1:33:15] There's a date restraint September 30th.

[1:33:18] » Yes.

[1:33:19] » And that's this coming.

[1:33:30] When you ran this model, what was the

[1:33:32] the margin of um

[1:33:36] like what what

[1:33:38] we have to um you know to give out

[1:33:43] essentially like she's talking about you

[1:33:46] know future cost inflation when you're

[1:33:50] running your financial models. What do

[1:33:51] you normally account for? Is it like two

[1:33:54] or 3% inflation model for each year?

[1:34:00] So we did that.

[1:34:06] Any other questions or discussion on

[1:34:07] this? So we have multiple teachers that

[1:34:09] have already completed this. I would

[1:34:11] assume this is 9:30, right?

[1:34:19] I think there was I would say

[1:34:25] more than likely we will be at that

[1:34:27] hospital.

[1:34:37] for something they've already done.

[1:34:39] We're rewarding them for something.

[1:34:46] » I will say in the spirit of Mr. for not

[1:34:49] being here. I know when he presented

[1:34:51] this to the board um as an idea, his

[1:34:54] initial um the essence of of what he's

[1:34:57] trying to do is to um make us

[1:35:01] competitive with other school districts.

[1:35:03] He's looking to attract high quality

[1:35:05] professional teachers to our district.

[1:35:08] um and he thought because the the number

[1:35:12] of increasing

[1:35:14] um trainings that are required continue

[1:35:17] to increase in the state of California.

[1:35:19] Um and so I just want to put that out

[1:35:21] there as you know as part of the

[1:35:23] conversation. Not saying I'm for or

[1:35:26] against but I just want to also um share

[1:35:29] that is the original essence of the

[1:35:32] reason why he agendaized this item. Um

[1:35:35] and that was to again

[1:35:38] um help us to be competitive and help us

[1:35:41] to attract high quality individuals into

[1:35:45] our district. I do know that this is a

[1:35:47] one-time

[1:35:49] um payment. This is like a one-time

[1:35:52] stipen.

[1:35:54] Um so we don't have this in our

[1:35:56] contract, you know, moving forward for

[1:35:58] years to come. I don't know what that

[1:36:00] would look like. This would be an

[1:36:02] ongoing thing or if this is just, you

[1:36:05] know,

[1:36:07] » Yeah,

[1:36:09] » That's my question exactly. How is this

[1:36:11] going to attract somebody if they're not

[1:36:12] going to get paid for it next year?

[1:36:14] » I think his idea was to somehow um

[1:36:18] include this uh in barley for future.

[1:36:23] » It's not just that. I mean you get you

[1:36:26] understand then as things fluctuate we

[1:36:30] have vacancies throughout. This is not

[1:36:32] just a certificate.

[1:36:34] This is classified as well when it takes

[1:36:37] our employees. It's an opportunity to

[1:36:40] say thank you for going above and beyond

[1:36:44] doing these additional trainings and

[1:36:48] intensity of training increasing. Um,

[1:36:52] thank you for doing that on your time

[1:36:56] » That you're required to do to have

[1:37:04] retention.

[1:37:06] » Yeah, but they're only made once

[1:37:12] » Called

[1:37:18] the motion to approve. Yes.

[1:37:24] » All in favor? I

[1:37:26] » I

[1:37:28] » No

[1:37:30] » I

[1:37:49] 6.3 Teacher consent forms to authorize

[1:37:51] certificated staff to teach in an

[1:37:53] assignment outside their current

[1:37:55] credential for the 2026 2027 school

[1:37:58] year.

[1:38:07] » So there's there's uh teachers who uh

[1:38:11] are are teaching outside of their

[1:38:13] credential area. So there like I I have

[1:38:16] a math credential, but this allows me to

[1:38:19] teach in a special circumstance to teach

[1:38:22] like a credit recovery class or in in

[1:38:27] some cases you're you're going to look

[1:38:29] at u not just credit recovery leadership

[1:38:33] yearbook. those things that really don't

[1:38:36] have a true credential, you can you're

[1:38:40] able to teach those things.

[1:38:52] » Do I have a motion?

[1:38:55] » So move.

[1:38:59] » Second.

[1:39:00] » One second. All in favor? Hi.

[1:39:03] » Hi.

[1:39:09] interpreter services with for 2026 2027

[1:39:12] school year. This isformational.

[1:39:15] Do you have any questions or special

[1:39:17] events?

[1:39:41] The next one is an action item. All

[1:39:43] right. 6.5. We have an agreement with

[1:39:45] Shelby County Office of Education for

[1:39:48] library services for the 2026 2027

[1:39:51] school year.

[1:39:54] » Do I have a motion?

[1:40:01] » Okay.

[1:40:10] » 475 for our site. Yes.

[1:40:14] You have any other questions regarding

[1:40:15] this item discussion?

[1:40:21] » I do.

[1:40:23] » So, looking at thisou, initially I

[1:40:25] thought it was anou directly with Skoey,

[1:40:27] but it's actually anouou with Skoey who

[1:40:29] has anou with Shasta County Libraries.

[1:40:32] Shasta County Libraries is the one who

[1:40:34] retains the certified librarian to give

[1:40:37] these services actually at a really good

[1:40:39] rate. Four workshops per year. I mean, I

[1:40:41] think this is a good rate. Um, however,

[1:40:43] I I will I will be voting yes tonight,

[1:40:46] but I would like in support to see um

[1:40:49] which I know I can do from my seat at

[1:40:51] Skoey, but I think the Anderson board

[1:40:52] members need it as well only because you

[1:40:54] know it is a contract for the contract

[1:40:56] for the contract. So, I would be

[1:40:58] requesting to see that with Shasta

[1:41:00] County Library and SCO. Thank you.

[1:41:07] » I do also have a question. Um, so we

[1:41:10] originally had

[1:41:13] school on here. What was the reason for?

[1:41:20] » Yes, it it it was a mistake on on SCO's

[1:41:24] part to put that down thinking that each

[1:41:26] of our sites have their own library.

[1:41:29] » Have we been charged for this though in

[1:41:31] the past

[1:41:33] » With that assumption?

[1:41:35] » No, I'd have to go back and look

[1:41:37] » Because this is a continuation of

[1:41:39] correct.

[1:41:40] » Yes.

[1:41:43] Yes.

[1:41:44] » So, I'd like to request that we look

[1:41:47] back to see if we have been paying them

[1:41:50] for this and what that means or looks

[1:41:53] like as far as reimbursements.

[1:41:57] None of those sites were receiving

[1:41:58] services.

[1:42:08] » Okay. Uh, do I have any motions for this

[1:42:11] item, Michaela?

[1:45:45] » Day 62

[1:45:47] special education funding update. This

[1:45:48] is alsoformational.

[1:45:51] This was just some information that I

[1:45:53] was excited to bring to the board. Um

[1:45:55] with the budget passed, govern budget

[1:45:59] that was just recently passed. Um we

[1:46:02] were able to gain some additional

[1:46:04] funding for special education. We were

[1:46:06] at 917, just over $917.

[1:46:10] Um,

[1:46:11] and we are now up to 1340,

[1:46:15] which is an increase of 46%. Um, which

[1:46:18] brings our district to about

[1:46:22] uh of extra, you know, additional

[1:46:25] funding for special education. Um it's

[1:46:28] one of our largest departments uh that

[1:46:31] not only is you know getting money on

[1:46:35] you know their side but the general

[1:46:37] funds also so this while you know it's

[1:46:41] not as much as I would like it'll

[1:46:44] definitely help offset those costs

[1:46:50] » Definitely something we needed for a

[1:46:52] long time and we need more

[1:46:54] » And I did note in the in here. You know,

[1:46:58] his his department is is running very

[1:47:01] well and they have a great um crew, a

[1:47:06] total of uh 34

[1:47:08] members of that department. I think you

[1:47:11] still need a couple more parents. It

[1:47:13] sounds like five more parents, but um

[1:47:17] they do an exceptional job for that. 14

[1:47:20] students right now.

[1:47:44] action item. Michaela,

[1:47:48] » We have any questions or discussion

[1:47:50] before motion?

[1:47:59] second.

[1:48:00] » All in favor?

[1:48:00] » I

[1:48:01] » I

[1:48:05] 6.14 Northern California Golf

[1:48:08] Association grant request for Anderson

[1:48:10] Union High School Girls Golf.

[1:48:18] » Motion to approve.

[1:48:20] » Second. All

[1:48:21] » In favor? I

[1:48:26] Okay. 6.15year

[1:48:28] facilities master plan resolution.

[1:48:31] This is an action item. Michaela.

[1:48:38] » Sure.

[1:48:40] » So to be eligible for modernization

[1:48:43] funding from the state, each school

[1:48:46] district has to develop a master plan

[1:48:48] for their facilities. And then we also

[1:48:51] have that this resolution is nine. So we

[1:48:54] can submit by November 1st which gets us

[1:48:58] in the queue gets us in line for those

[1:49:01] funds that will be available from

[1:49:04] proposition two but was passed in 2025

[1:49:10] 2014. So there's seven dollars passed

[1:49:13] through a bond measure from the state

[1:49:16] and this with this resolution passing

[1:49:18] time eligible for those funds.

[1:49:23] » So how much of

[1:49:25] these dollars will the district be

[1:49:28] responsible for?

[1:49:30] » Modization is a 6040 split. 60% from the

[1:49:34] state, 40% from the district.

[1:49:38] And are we guaranteed to get it or just

[1:49:41] have a half the ring?

[1:49:43] » This will get us a half the ring. May

[1:49:46] not be guaranteed that we'll get it. We

[1:49:49] don't know that yet. But we have to do

[1:49:51] this to be eligible.

[1:49:55] » So this is kind of our wish list, not

[1:50:00] or is this what we have to do

[1:50:03] realistically? It's a requirement out of

[1:50:07] prop to add the facility master plan and

[1:50:09] this resolution to be eligible for

[1:50:12] those.

[1:50:12] » But if we so if we don't get this

[1:50:16] funding

[1:50:17] » Then we will adjust our master plan

[1:50:18] according

[1:50:21] » And it's my understanding that there's a

[1:50:23] big pot of money but then the smaller

[1:50:25] school districts kind of get like make

[1:50:27] sure they get in there first before they

[1:50:29] extend to. Yeah, we had someone come to

[1:50:30] Zet Cascade. I could not believe how

[1:50:32] complicated it was, but that's my

[1:50:34] understanding. Okay.

[1:50:36] » Prop 2 provides up to $400 million for

[1:50:39] modernization projects and up to 330

[1:50:41] million for new construction projects

[1:50:43] across the state.

[1:50:46] » And our facility master plan is actually

[1:50:48] a seven plan. We've adjusted it for

[1:50:52] funding purposes and architectural

[1:50:55] purposes,

[1:50:57] putting brakes in it. So that way we'll

[1:51:00] have the funds to use those.

[1:51:04] » I move your approval.

[1:51:06] » I'll second. All in favor?

[1:51:08] » I

[1:51:12] » Okay, we have 7.1. Do we have any

[1:51:14] comments from CSEA or CT

[1:51:16] representatives?

[1:51:22] » Mr. Parker is not here. Mr. Blue, do you

[1:51:25] have any comments at this time?

[1:51:26] » No.

[1:51:29] You have any trusty comments?

[1:51:37] » I

[1:51:39] go for it.

[1:51:40] » You're older. [laughter]

[1:51:47] [laughter]

[1:51:49] » I'm really excited about our new board

[1:51:51] member. I think that's really the

[1:51:53] student board member is Greg. I know

[1:51:55] she's back for a little bit, but she's

[1:51:57] gonna come out over this kind of meeting

[1:52:00] always draws it out of me, you might

[1:52:02] say. So, thank you for being here, both

[1:52:04] of you.

[1:52:06] » I just want to say how happy I was with

[1:52:08] all of the student reports. And I don't

[1:52:09] know if you remember when we first took

[1:52:10] our seats, we did have students, we had

[1:52:12] the principles coming up. Yeah. So, I I

[1:52:14] love to hear it from the students. It's

[1:52:16] a totally different field. So, and yeah,

[1:52:18] the materials we get, the pictures, it's

[1:52:20] just it warms my heart. So,

[1:52:23] » I'd like to have um presentations of

[1:52:26] some of your clubs or activities or how

[1:52:29] you had the robotics team come show us

[1:52:31] that one time.

[1:52:32] » Oh, that's right. Remember that? I

[1:52:34] almost got that program for different

[1:52:36] things from the schools that you guys

[1:52:38] do. I really like that. That was that

[1:52:42] was neat.

[1:52:43] or like the FFA when um the officers

[1:52:49] when they're going maybe showcase the

[1:52:52] ones that are making it professionals or

[1:52:54] something um brag about that shows

[1:53:00] or something that would be neat.

[1:53:05] There was one girl that came in here um

[1:53:09] she made like a really big graduation

[1:53:13] And I think um as a student also

[1:53:16] graduating this year that it's really

[1:53:19] smart. Um and I have only been here for

[1:53:22] high school. I didn't grow up here. I

[1:53:24] was born here in the United States. But

[1:53:27] as somebody with friends who have

[1:53:29] siblings and friends that go to my

[1:53:31] school and then there

[1:53:34] um it's like really sad because

[1:53:42] then they can't and also that their

[1:53:45] friends like we had um

[1:53:48] regulations last year

[1:53:51] for their friends because they fell into

[1:53:54] this space and like that was really nice

[1:53:57] to see all that support. Um, and I think

[1:54:00] we want to still

[1:54:16] like the biggest thing that I got in

[1:54:18] this meeting that was like

[1:54:25] because

[1:54:33] care about being able to come up here

[1:54:35] and talk about that. Um it can be hard

[1:54:38] for some people

[1:54:41] really [laughter] but but

[1:54:45] being able to like voice that and like

[1:54:47] this is the problem and solutions

[1:54:52] especially from their eyes and like

[1:54:56] though like having grown up here like I

[1:54:58] know that

[1:55:00] really sweet and there for my friends at

[1:55:03] my school they're there for them. So

[1:55:14] Thank you.

[1:55:18] I'm the only one that didn't comment.

[1:55:22] I'm just warming up. I promise you'll

[1:55:23] probably get sick here. My voice. So,

[1:55:26] uh, I'm excited. I love listening to the

[1:55:29] student awards. I like to hear more of

[1:55:31] them. Like been watching all the social

[1:55:33] medias for different schools, too.

[1:55:36] It's really fun to see what's going on.

[1:55:42] » Just want to say thank you to everyone

[1:55:44] in attendance and vote and feedback. Um

[1:55:48] I just see the momentum building for

[1:55:51] this school year and I'm super excited

[1:55:53] about it especially with all of the

[1:55:55] excitement coming from our students when

[1:55:57] we report. So good job. Thank you for

[1:56:00] coming out tonight. We will see you next

[1:56:02] time.
