1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,150
first um

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,040
our April 21st board meeting. We're so

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,639
grateful to have everyone here.

4
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:10,800
>> Recording in progress.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,080
>> Sorry. There we go.

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,840
>> We have Sarah and Christian, Carrie,

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,320
Thesisa, uh myself, and Carol and Carol

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,519
Gregory, the director for the for Azure

9
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,760
Fields Charter High School. Um

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,760
we um want to begin with our verse. So

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,440
I'll read it if everyone can just um

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,239
listen. We'll start with our verse for

13
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:44,079
America. May our feeling penetrate into

14
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:47,440
the center of our heart and seek in love

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,079
to unite itself with human beings

16
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,719
seeking the same goal and with spirit

17
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,760
beings who bearing grace strengthening

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,000
us from the realms of light and

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,640
illuminating our love are gazing down

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,080
upon our earnest heartfelt strivings.

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,960
Rudolph Steiner. And I will turn the

22
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:10,560
time over now to um to Christian Swenson

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,600
who has a who has um a Steiner study for

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,320
us.

25
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,600
>> Thank you. Um I appreciate that. Um so I

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880
was asked to talk today um if I remember

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520
correctly Susan about the intersection

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,799
between curative education and a wal of

29
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,680
concept and teenagers basically the

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,439
adolescent phase

31
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:33,840
>> and uh cuz you said you hadn't been able

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,880
to find much about that. Um

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,640
>> I couldn't find much about it either to

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,640
be honest. I did a lot of searching. In

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,479
fact, there this is a gap. This is a gap

36
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:44,240
that Steiner that that people have

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,799
talked about that uh a lot of the

38
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,600
curative work describes children and not

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,520
a lot of it describes describes

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,799
teenagers. Um but given that what I

41
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,439
wanted to uh what I wanted to kind of

42
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,600
bring up is the

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,399
I want to help us understand

44
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:06,399
what the developmental task of the

45
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:09,840
teenager is according to Boler pedigogy.

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Um, for him there are three seven-year

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,200
phases as you know, right? That the

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
first seven years according to him is a

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,360
state in which children like my

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,319
2-year-old daughter McKenzie um imitate.

51
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:24,080
They perceive through imitation. You

52
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,080
know, they're looking at dad over here

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,080
and you know, dad is is is nailing

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,440
something into the wall. So, she does it

55
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
too, right? If she, you know, she sees

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,840
you on your phone, she's on her phone,

57
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,239
too. She wants or on your phone. Um

58
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,560
because the seven-year-old child wants

59
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,800
to learn the the young child wants to

60
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,480
learn from the adult through beat

61
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,720
through activity through movement. But

62
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
at around age seven, the child learns

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560
through authority and uh from the for

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,800
the next seven years according to him

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,720
the the teacher and parent is supposed

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,360
to act like

67
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,200
a representation

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,760
of the truth of the world. the way the

69
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,560
world is in a way that the child can

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,920
understand. In other words, through

71
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,440
images.

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,599
My sense is that the teacher at that

73
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,000
stage is supposed to be a host for the

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,680
world. Something that that embodies the solidity and strength of truth and

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,920
shares it with the other with the

76
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,920
students as a way of teaching them to

77
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:31,200
inhabit that true world. Um again it's a

78
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,920
translation from truth into feeling from

79
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,560
truth into beauty. Um but then the more

80
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,120
interesting thing is the stage from 7 to

81
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,519
14 which is when suddenly a child learns

82
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:49,040
through truth right um and what happens

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,599
when you turn 14 according to this model

84
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,480
is that you suddenly see that the world

85
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,599
isn't a story right there's a sense in

86
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,439
which when you turn 14 you stop seeing

87
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:01,680
the world in terms of images and symbols

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
you stop being as immersed in it you

89
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,360
stop seeing it as a the whole thing and

90
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,439
all of a sudden you think some of these

91
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:08,560
adults don't know what they're talking

92
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,599
about, right? The the the structures

93
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,519
around me, there's something behind them

94
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:16,320
that I can't really see until I turn 14.

95
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,440
It's like, yeah, yeah, the word adults

96
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,199
are kind of stupid, but not the way I

97
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,320
thought earlier. Like they like

98
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,520
sometimes they actually don't know what

99
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,960
they're doing. And I think I know

100
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,600
better, says the teenager. I have a

101
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,800
better imagination of what could happen.

102
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,360
And they might be right. you know, all

103
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,800
the great innovators were once

104
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,280
teenagers, right? But um it's the it's

105
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,040
the responsibility of the high school

106
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,560
teacher to honor that impulse,

107
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,759
to honor their rebellion,

108
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,160
to honor their their dream for the world

109
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,479
and to help them hone it in ways that

110
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:56,400
will help them thrive when they are

111
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,440
directing themselves. when at age 21

112
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,199
they take hold of themselves in a new

113
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:05,280
way. Um that's my sense and so it's very

114
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,280
important to let an adolescent of this stage that

115
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:14,880
we're teaching to to start to see the

116
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360
world in their own way cuz you know we

117
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320
are how we see and if we honor how they

118
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,720
see you help them become who they are.

119
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,240
That's what I say. That's a little

120
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,360
spiel. Um I'm your spiel. Well, thank

121
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,639
you. I appreciate that. Um I uh I I walk

122
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,039
along UC Berkeley a lot. I'm in when I'm

123
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:34,560
in California. I'm not in California

124
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,320
now. And there's a bunch of college

125
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,639
students there all the time, you know,

126
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,960
UC Berkeley and um like freshman and

127
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:48,080
sophomores. And I think I don't know. I feel like they they embody an energy

128
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
that we often too often dismiss. And I

129
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,120
think there's something really valuable

130
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,240
there. That's what I'm saying.

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,720
any any thoughts or questions or

132
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,080
suggestions or connections?

133
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,840
>> I thought it was interesting when you

134
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,520
said that they look at adults and think,

135
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,520
"I know a better way." Well, sometimes

136
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,800
they do. Guess what? Sometimes they do.

137
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,240
And you have to say, "Well, you might.

138
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,039
You just might know better."

139
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:21,360
So, don't dismiss that. You know, it's

140
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,759
not there's nothing wrong with it. We

141
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,790
don't have all the answers.

142
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680
» How do you think you should handle when

143
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,880
I'm wondering what you think about this,

144
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,919
Carol, when a teenager challenges the

145
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:39,759
teacher intellectually or morally?

146
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,759
Like if there's a a lesson, what do you

147
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,120
think what do you think is the right

148
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,749
thing to do?

149
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:49,440
» Let me step back into the classroom for

150
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,520
a minute.

151
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,880
far removed from the things that I've

152
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,560
been thinking about lately.

153
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,960
>> Um,

154
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,720
>> it's important to validate where they're

155
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,039
coming from and um and have a a humility

156
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:08,639
and um and creating

157
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,800
an environment of discourse. you know,

158
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,880
we as as we're preparing for the high

159
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960
school and and working on preparing our

160
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,360
teachers, um we we talk about, you know,

161
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,319
having clear expectations, but also

162
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,720
bringing things in a balanced and an

163
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,960
appropriate way. Um and I think um if

164
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,639
when you are approaching the curriculum

165
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:35,039
in the correct way to begin with with

166
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:38,000
like the the high schooler should never

167
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,840
know exactly how I feel about this

168
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,199
topic. They need to know that I'm here

169
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,160
to bring topics to them for their

170
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,599
experience and to bring multiple

171
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:53,759
balanced views that that there is um

172
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,240
always somebody's perspective in the

173
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,080
narrative of history and the experiences

174
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560
that we have. Um, and so when the class

175
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,000
is structured in that way, there's less

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800
opportunity, I would say, for for a a

177
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,280
student to say, "Well, that isn't

178
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840
completely true, right?" Or like to to

179
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,680
challenge me as an authority. If I'm

180
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,280
presenting my own personal views, yeah,

181
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,639
that's open all the time for like what

182
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,080
makes you so right. Um, and and you get

183
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
that kind of disciplinary thing. But if

184
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,599
you're bringing the curriculum in a way

185
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:28,879
that explores and values multiple

186
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:31,039
perspectives, when the student brings

187
00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:34,080
that new perspective, that's folded into

188
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,320
what we're doing anyway and isn't a

189
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,839
power struggle.

190
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:40,399
>> It's like instead of the teenager asking

191
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,479
you, "What makes you so right?" You're

192
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:44,000
asking yourself, "What makes me so

193
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240
right?" Um, in other words, you have

194
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,040
intellectual

195
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,040
>> and we're we're we're it's not even

196
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,279
asking me what what makes me so right,

197
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,120
but it's looking at the content and

198
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,320
saying, "What makes this right or not?"

199
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,920
And and why do I value this person's

200
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,519
perspective over this person's

201
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,680
perspective? What can I learn from the

202
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,600
differences in addition to the

203
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,000
similarities and the perspectives? Um,

204
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,320
and is there a perspective I don't know

205
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640
about yet in this discourse? Because

206
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,800
there's rarely just two. what are some

207
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,200
of the other marginalized perspectives?

208
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,320
And so when you create that culture

209
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,160
um in the way that we bring the

210
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,880
information um it it helps empower the

211
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,279
students to discover for themselves

212
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,920
without the power play of you're the

213
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,959
adult and you you can't be right.

214
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:37,120
>> That's really cool. Thank you, Carol. I

215
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,320
think I'm out of time. Um that's my felt sense. Um thank you. Um,

216
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480
and I I appreciate your presence and I

217
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,519
appreciate your sincerity. Thank you.

218
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,320
>> I just have to add that I think this is

219
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,560
why there are so many homeschooling

220
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,399
parents that are like, I can't do this

221
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:57,680
anymore when they hit this age

222
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,839
because this just describes my life so

223
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:03,200
well of just my 14-year-old being like,

224
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,680
you can't be right, mom, no matter what it is. And it just is

225
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,080
wearing as a parent to do that all day

226
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,720
long with all the school stuff and then

227
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,519
to do that with your normal parenting

228
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:18,000
roles. And I think that's a good thing

229
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,240
for us to recognize and why I think all

230
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800
of you are amazing to do it in school.

231
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,360
But like that is one of the reasons why

232
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,880
we will pull homeschool families is

233
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,560
because

234
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,480
it gets exhausting for parents to do

235
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,949
that when they hit this age.

236
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:40,470
That's all.

237
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,320
» Thea, you might have to speak up. Your

238
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,399
volume's not coming through very much.

239
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,240
>> I don't know that your microphone is on.

240
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,360
You're not muted.

241
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,240
>> Yeah,

242
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,399
>> you're not muted, but I don't hear your

243
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,600
microphone on.

244
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,120
>> You might need to change the microphone

245
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,720
settings, like which microphone it's

246
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
coming from. Um, because maybe it's

247
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,880
coming from some microphone you don't

248
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,200
realize is plugged in somewhere else or

249
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,829
that's happened to me before.

250
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:09,920
No, we can't hear you. Do you want to

251
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,760
put it in the chat?

252
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,120
>> Can I add to what Carrie said then?

253
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,680
>> I was just talking to a friend of mine

254
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,399
and we were discussing um there are

255
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,079
things that were my grandparents

256
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:23,600
generation or my great-grandparents

257
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160
generation that we don't do now. And we

258
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,240
were discussing

259
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,480
what was it going to be for us when

260
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,640
we're older? What is it going to be that

261
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,160
we are the old ones that are out of

262
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,320
touch that our kids are going to change

263
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,720
the rules on? And not that we're bad or

264
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,320
our parents are bad or our grandparents

265
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,640
are bad, but I think it's good that

266
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,279
sometimes, not always, but sometimes we

267
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,000
are wrong. And we allow our kids to be

268
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,920
like, I'm not sure how you feel about

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640
that or how I feel about that because

270
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,600
it's good not just for them or for the

271
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,600
society at large, but for our growth as

272
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,640
well. And I would agree with you,

273
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,399
Carrie. It's really hard to look at that

274
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,240
sometimes when you're trying to raise

275
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,560
teenagers, too, and try and see your the

276
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,310
places where you're missing.

277
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,920
» I think this is totally

278
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,639
>> Oh, sorry. I think this is a Oh,

279
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:17,920
>> go ahead, please.

280
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,360
>> Sorry. No, I think this is a um a a a

281
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160
particular problem in Utah County um

282
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,120
because there's a sense in which um the

283
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
local culture

284
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,399
values family so much that independence

285
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,959
from the family unit can sometimes be,

286
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:37,440
you know, seen as threatening a dominant

287
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,040
paradigm even if it's not thought of

288
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,360
that consciously. Um, and so I wonder if one of the things we can do

289
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,480
at the school to kind of help help with

290
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040
uh to work with that culture is to value

291
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,760
the impulse to rebel in a healthy sense,

292
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,519
right? in a way that yeah that's my

293
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,480
sense because that's that is important

294
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,920
>> and I ask if the Socratic method will

295
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,190
help the students with that

296
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,800
you know isn't it welcome challenge and

297
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,990
outside the box thinking

298
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
yeah creating them a space to contribute

299
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,079
to the discourse and challenge their

300
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:23,680
thinking and take a side that they're

301
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:27,360
not um predisposed for

302
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,360
>> getting good skills for making those

303
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,040
decisions. And and I think it's

304
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,760
important to be to to have um

305
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,600
conversations with the parents that you

306
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,480
know we our goal is to empower students

307
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,440
to be successful in life and and to make

308
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,399
powerful decisions about um where they

309
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,639
want to go in their life by providing

310
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,760
with them a solid foundation. Um we're

311
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,279
not here to undermine the parents. We're

312
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:52,639
here to help the parents empower their

313
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,200
students.

314
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120
>> Well, and that the goal is to raise

315
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,680
children that are better than us, right?

316
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,360
So, I think that's important for parents

317
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,600
to remember. But one of the main reasons

318
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440
why I'm not putting my kids in public

319
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,079
school is because I don't want their

320
00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:11,199
teachers forcing their views on them.

321
00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:14,399
And so I love what Carol said about the

322
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:18,240
students should not know what side of a

323
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160
especially like a polarized topic a

324
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,760
teacher's on. They should be presented

325
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600
the information

326
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
>> there. We're not teachers are not meant

327
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,600
to you know indoctrinate children. So I

328
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,600
love I love the way that Carol said that they shouldn't know where you

329
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,199
stand. Mhm.

330
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:39,839
>> And the point the point is not

331
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:42,720
rebellion. The point is to to to be

332
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,040
thoughtful and think about the issues

333
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160
related to a topic. So in history you

334
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,839
have the different perspectives and if a

335
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:52,079
student were to bring up his own or her

336
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:55,120
own perspective. Um here's what I see

337
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,720
usually in high school that they've

338
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,639
heard these things from other people.

339
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:00,320
It's not really their own perspective

340
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,240
yet. So what you're trying you may

341
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,920
incorporate what they say to you um as

342
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,000
well let's let's write that down as part

343
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,079
of our our thought process and what

344
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:12,480
we'll think about this issue also. But

345
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,880
you don't want to promote a

346
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,600
14-year-old's perspective on everything

347
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,600
because it's usually very shallow and just the something they may have

348
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,320
heard from others. So again I I think

349
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,680
you know we don't want a political

350
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,680
perspective. We don't want to have we

351
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,160
just want to present the history and the

352
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,399
humanities from the perspective of

353
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,079
people themselves because remember we

354
00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:37,199
follow biographies. So we want their the

355
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:39,040
famous people that we teach about. We

356
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,800
want their ideas presented to the

357
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,120
students and we want everything to come

358
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,279
together in the students mind in in a

359
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,680
way that is their own. But but we want

360
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,320
to present the perspectives that that we

361
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,079
think are valuable and important. That's

362
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:54,160
the whole point of Waldorf education.

363
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480
It's not just independent thinking like

364
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
in a monastery setting. We actually

365
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,440
present something a curriculum that we

366
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,199
believe is important to teach. And of

367
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:04,959
course the state has its curriculum to

368
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:07,440
teach for us to teach in a high school

369
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,920
setting. And then we you know we'll take

370
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,920
the students uh we can take the students

371
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,600
ideas into into play interplay with the rest of the curriculum we teach.

372
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,959
Remember I talked about the

373
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:21,120
philosophical framework where you start

374
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,160
with an idea or metaphor surrounding

375
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:31,040
your topic and then you teach all of the important stories and aspects of

376
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,079
that of that teaching and then you break

377
00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:36,240
things apart for a time and analyze

378
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,160
ideas. Then you bring everything

379
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,240
together again in some way at the end to

380
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880
pres make a presentation so that you're

381
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,839
united again at the end in in in a in a

382
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:49,759
type of you know um important idea again

383
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,839
that you're presenting. We don't just

384
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:54,480
keep everything as a fragmented uh

385
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,360
disconnected um

386
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320
you know pre presentation like everyone

387
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,160
is just lo lost as to you know what we

388
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,240
feel are important values and ideas that

389
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,199
are part of the lesson. So

390
00:17:09,199 --> 00:17:10,959
>> put in the chat that the teenager wants

391
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:12,799
to know that the teacher is an expert in

392
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:16,720
their field and that brings respect. So

393
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,799
we we make sure that we do know the

394
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,199
information and the facts. um and can

395
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:23,760
present the information well. Um and

396
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,120
being an expert also removes our our

397
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:30,000
personal biases. Um and so at the same

398
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,440
time, students ideas have room to grow.

399
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,520
>> I think that that I think that means a

400
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,120
teacher needs to show off a bit on the

401
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,559
first day. Um

402
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,679
>> I think that doesn't hurt at all to show

403
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:43,039
that they really know something about

404
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,960
the topic they're teaching. Yes, that's

405
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,640
right.

406
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,400
So that's, you know, there's still a

407
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,200
little bit of author authority that you

408
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,679
present to the the classroom. We better

409
00:17:53,679 --> 00:17:56,320
move forward just a little bit. Um, I

410
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,200
did write some some ideas I found about

411
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,679
curative education because it's

412
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:03,760
something we we don't usually think

413
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
about as teachers because we have

414
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,480
experts that that work in that area in

415
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,880
special in Waldorf special education

416
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,039
circles. But there was a concept I

417
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:15,520
really loved. This is just oh again

418
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,360
everything about Waldorf education kind

419
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,679
of just surprises me and enlightens me

420
00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:21,360
and I just want to read one of the core

421
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,600
philosophies about so think about this

422
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,400
is special education for the teenager

423
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,640
for students that are struggling in many

424
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,200
various ways the un the unharmed core

425
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,679
the idea that a child has and operates

426
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,840
on the belief that every person has an

427
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,880
intact spiritual core or individuality

428
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760
that is never disabled regardless of

429
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,280
physical or mental limitations. And I I

430
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,520
just believe in this so wholeheartedly

431
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,240
that every child uh has an has a core uh

432
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,200
of their spirit and of their their being

433
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,640
that is whole and healthy, unharmed. And

434
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,200
I really think we just we can find that

435
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,360
through a couple of things. But one of the things that's that our school

436
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,760
is going to be the best at if you look

437
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,640
at the um key methods for for working

438
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,679
with the students that are struggling um

439
00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:18,000
it is rhythmic living having a good

440
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,919
rhythm in their lives and their their

441
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:22,400
daily schedule. So we can adjust

442
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,360
schedules uh for students in our school

443
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,559
to a healthy rhythm for them. It's doing

444
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:31,039
artistic therapies like music, painting,

445
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:33,919
drama and other kinds of things which

446
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:36,000
our school incorporates.

447
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,559
It's doing crafts and manual work skills

448
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,919
like weaving, h woodwork and gardening.

449
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:44,960
Um and then also self-development uh

450
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,880
working constant with their inner

451
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,600
development, humor and courage and

452
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,760
healing presence of the child

453
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,559
themselves. And so you you set up a

454
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:56,640
beautiful rhythm for the child in

455
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,120
curative education and also set up

456
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,280
things they can be successful in. You

457
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
know, cooking, gardening, all these

458
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,880
things that our school is going to

459
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,919
incorporate will be healthy for every

460
00:20:07,919 --> 00:20:10,640
child, but also for the child that is

461
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,039
struggling in in any anyway um with

462
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:17,760
needs that are a little harder to meet.

463
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,520
But our school is set up to meet those

464
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,679
needs beautifully, I think. So that's

465
00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:25,039
why I just wanted to share that before

466
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,440
we move on. All right. And then I'm

467
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,760
going to share again, sorry everybody,

468
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,919
our board capacity building tonight is

469
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:35,440
about a chapter in the the uh charter

470
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,080
school board university book and it has

471
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,640
to do with setting up an orientation

472
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,039
process for our new board members. And

473
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,039
we have not really had this. We've got

474
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,919
to work to build this. So, I have a a

475
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:49,840
PowerPoint I wanted to show and I'll try

476
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,840
to go through it as quickly as I can

477
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,919
about having a booklet for all our new

478
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,000
members and what should be in that. So,

479
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,880
this is what the the Charter University

480
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,640
uh book says that should be in an

481
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,799
orientation binder for our new board

482
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:05,280
members. So, let and for all of you

483
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280
also. We should have one for you that we

484
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,840
create. So, if you could put that on the

485
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,400
screen for us to see, Carol. Yeah, let

486
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,400
me find the right

487
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,360
one.

488
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:21,200
Let's see.

489
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,510
Sorry. Let me share the right

490
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,200
um

491
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:35,029
Sorry about that. Let's see.

492
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:37,039
It's not giving me the right option to

493
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,520
share the right screen. So, give me just

494
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,240
a second.

495
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:50,549
And

496
00:21:50,559 --> 00:22:00,549
um

497
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:02,080
we close some of the other windows and

498
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960
see if that will help.

499
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:11,990
There it is. Okay.

500
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,440
All right. So, in the board

501
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,600
university, it's um um booklet a book.

502
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,000
It says that each board member should

503
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,720
start with a um a booklet that they've

504
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,200
that they receive. So, the orientation

505
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,840
booklet should come to them um as

506
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,600
they're starting their work in the

507
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,280
board. The first thing is they should

508
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,520
have a list, a contact list with the

509
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,320
names, phone numbers and email addresses

510
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,960
of everyone on the board and the

511
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,720
executive director, current board

512
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,360
members and their offices held and also

513
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,440
their term expiration dates. We should

514
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,840
all be able to see those for each other

515
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,320
um so that we know you know when someone

516
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,559
will be moving out of the board and

517
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,120
coming in. Then the next one is the

518
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,039
school's articles of incorporation and

519
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,760
bylaws. These two documents form the

520
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,840
legal basis for the existence of the

521
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080
school. The bylaw should indicate the

522
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,919
date they were adopted by the board and

523
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:10,240
a signature signifying they are

524
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,880
official. And then third, the school

525
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,960
charter. This is a performance contract

526
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,600
between the board and the authorizer. It

527
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000
is time limited usually for 3 to 5

528
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,520
years. I don't know does ours have a

529
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,039
time limit, Carol? Our charter.

530
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,840
>> Yeah, there we go up for review every 3

531
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,799
to 5 years.

532
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,880
>> Okay. It contains the outcomes the

533
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,720
school's required to produce and usually

534
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,559
some limits within which the outcomes

535
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:37,440
are to occur. And then the fourth thing

536
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,760
should be like a tab for the names and

537
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,360
contact information of the board's

538
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,760
attorney which we I don't know if we've

539
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,840
hired a certain attorney yet. Should

540
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,120
have we done that, Carol?

541
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,360
>> Yeah, we did that several months ago. Um

542
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,400
Chris Jorgensson um on just an hourly

543
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,360
basis.

544
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,559
>> Okay. So a letter of agreement maybe.

545
00:23:56,559 --> 00:23:58,960
Um, it should say just agreement, not o

546
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,960
agreement stating the terms of the

547
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,640
employment and the and his job

548
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,640
description. So that's something that

549
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,320
should be in the binder. Also, if your

550
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,640
board has hired documents governing the

551
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,320
board's formal arrangement with an

552
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,240
executive director. So if your board is

553
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,919
hired, which we have an executive

554
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:15,840
director, there should be a letter or

555
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,679
agreement page stating the terms of

556
00:24:17,679 --> 00:24:19,360
employment and the job description

557
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,320
there. And we should have a a section of

558
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,320
board member job descriptions, which

559
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,240
we've already created that. So, we

560
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,840
should have that in a binder though for

561
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,720
our members. And a summary also the date

562
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,360
of the school's performance on the most

563
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,360
recent round of state testing, which we

564
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:40,880
don't have yet, but we will have in the the coming years. And we need to

565
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,480
know the percentage of the kids in our

566
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,480
school that are at or above grade level

567
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,640
in core subjects.

568
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,559
Okay. And then board minutes from the

569
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:51,360
previous six months. These tell what the

570
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,200
board has been talking about in all its

571
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,600
meetings for the last six months.

572
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Uh they said we should have a

573
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,039
certificate of insurance for directors

574
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,840
or officer liability. Carol, have you

575
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,080
talked to us about does our state have

576
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,159
liability for board members?

577
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:10,640
>> Um I think Shannon probably knows more

578
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,279
about that than I do. Um it's one of the

579
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:14,960
things that's on our list to talk about

580
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,600
with

581
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,279
>> to work through.

582
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,679
>> So there

583
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:20,880
>> what's that?

584
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,799
>> Um in our readiness to open this is one

585
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:25,440
of the things that we have to do. Okay.

586
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Um, I thought it was Shannon. Um, you

587
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,679
are assuming a tremendous liability when

588
00:25:29,679 --> 00:25:31,600
you agree to serve as a board member.

589
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,679
The decisions your board makes or fails

590
00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:35,760
to make can adversely affect students,

591
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,000
employees, and others. As such, there's

592
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,559
always a high risk of being sued. Some

593
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:43,039
state indemnity of the board if if you

594
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,760
can prove uh if there it's a reasonable

595
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,640
decision. It's recommended that you have

596
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,400
insurance you the school carries

597
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,279
insurance to protect personnel assets of

598
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:55,360
their directors and officers. So this is

599
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,760
just something we need to get together

600
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,559
in time and put put in a board. Um

601
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:05,360
>> Susan Jeff has joined our meeting and so he can also speak to that.

602
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,440
>> Oh great. Jeff, would you speak to that

603
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,640
for a minute?

604
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,080
>> Yeah, sorry. I didn't want to just jump

605
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960
in there. Um so there's a couple of

606
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,720
different ways you can get insurance. um

607
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,080
one is through the state's risk

608
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,120
management policy. Um those applications

609
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,799
are it's a little bit harder your

610
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:24,559
startup year um to get that. So um that

611
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:26,880
timeline has already passed. It was last

612
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,480
December in order to get signed up for

613
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,440
this coming year. Um but without

614
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,120
>> without knowledge of our building and

615
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,320
things like that, it was just kind of a

616
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,159
hard thing to do, which is typical for a

617
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:38,640
lot of schools. So we will need to get a

618
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,760
third-party insurance um at least for

619
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
your startup year. Um, there is an

620
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,559
agent, uh, his name is Jeff Hurst with

621
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:49,600
American Insurance that, um, does a he

622
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,200
writes a lot of charter school policies.

623
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,480
I shouldn't say he writes them, but he

624
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,480
bids them out and helps get insurance

625
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,360
for a lot of charter schools. Um, it's a it's not the easiest uh, industry

626
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,080
to get insurance for. And so, it's kind

627
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,400
of nice having someone who knows it. So,

628
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,000
um we can reach out to him and get that

629
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,240
put in place, but we'll need um

630
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,360
liability insurance, property insurance,

631
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,120
cyber insurance, and a few different

632
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,200
things. So, he'll help us get set up

633
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,840
with all of those things for next year.

634
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,360
>> Great. These are just things they

635
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,039
mentioned. So, we'll we'll try to work

636
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:26,400
towards this for next year. Um and then

637
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,799
10 most recent financial statements and

638
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,039
audit reports. Again, we don't really

639
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,600
have official well, we have some we have

640
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,440
some reports we could put in there now

641
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,120
about the beginning opening of the

642
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,440
school, but this is just one of the

643
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,360
items that recommended copies of all

644
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:44,720
debt instruments. So, we the the school

645
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,880
board members should be able to see who

646
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,440
we're who we're receiving, you know,

647
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,960
monies from in loans and interest rates,

648
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,320
etc. Okay. Number 12, board policy

649
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,039
manual. I I know that we've we've have

650
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,200
we finished that, Carol, yet our policy

651
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,880
manual or are we still working on that

652
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,679
now?

653
00:28:03,679 --> 00:28:06,640
>> Um, as as far as the board policies, I

654
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,240
think we have most of them done. There

655
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,240
might be a few others that

656
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,880
>> we need we still need to address the um

657
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,880
grievance policy and and a few other

658
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,480
things. Um, but we have a lot of it

659
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,039
mostly done. Um, the board policy manual

660
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:21,039
is different from the student handbook

661
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:22,960
and the teacher handbook and and then we

662
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,880
have the policy manual. So there's

663
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,480
multiple things that kind of do a

664
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760
similar um and we've been talking as a

665
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,919
office staff about an efficient way of

666
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:33,360
putting those things together that they

667
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,320
can all be linked to the core policies

668
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,360
um and for efficiency and and unity

669
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,520
between um all of our things. So

670
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,679
>> good to have like a a comprehensive

671
00:28:45,679 --> 00:28:47,279
policy manual. I think that would be

672
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:50,240
good. um unless there are some specific

673
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,640
things that related to the board that

674
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,559
but we should have a copy of that for

675
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:56,960
our board members when they come in. And

676
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,760
then 13, let's see. Oh, I guess that's

677
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,159
all. So, my thought is um we may need to

678
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:05,679
have

679
00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:07,679
I mean I hate to put more on your plate,

680
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:10,080
Carol, but we may need to have you and

681
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,640
the um and and uh Tanya work on putting

682
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,279
together manuals like this because I

683
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,039
think you have most of the documents and

684
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,520
most of the things there in the office

685
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,399
with you. And then if we could keep

686
00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:28,240
maybe give one manual with with sections

687
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,559
for each of these things to board

688
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,880
members and then keep maybe six on hand

689
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
for for others coming in that are new.

690
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,600
That would be really great. So this is

691
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,080
just thoughts of important things to put

692
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,799
into a board manual. And I know another

693
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,200
option is is having it in the board

694
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,559
drive electronically for so that we save

695
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:51,600
on printing costs. um having a few

696
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,279
available in the office if someone wants

697
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:55,520
to to check one out and peruse a paper

698
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,840
or um we can obviously make a copy for

699
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320
someone if they prefer a paper copy. Um

700
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,440
but having it electronically it's also

701
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,080
um

702
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,159
>> I I love that idea. I just don't think

703
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:09,120
about doing that. So yes, we could have

704
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,039
it and then we can change it as needed

705
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,360
and add things to it.

706
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440
>> Yes. So have tabs for each of the

707
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,919
different things maybe on an electronic

708
00:30:17,919 --> 00:30:20,000
version. So, if we could just work

709
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,159
towards that. I know it's still new and

710
00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:24,720
our board is still putting together the

711
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,760
fun the um the daily kind of working

712
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,480
board members, but I would I would have

713
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,720
liked more information like that when I

714
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,360
first came in also. And and so I'm

715
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,200
wondering if we could start the process

716
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,279
of that, Carol, as a as a school. All

717
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:43,039
right, that's all I wanted to present

718
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:45,760
today. um those things to think about

719
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,159
and and look towards the future at at

720
00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:50,559
having for our school.

721
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:53,600
Um we are reviewing the minutes from the

722
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,600
previous meeting and were they they were

723
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,039
sent out. Um Sarah, did you you for the

00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,919
to get the the speaker to come on and

737
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:29,440
each time I clicked it, it went off.

738
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,240
>> Oh,

00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,240

you on the things that you were doing

741
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,240
and I was part of your CSP interview. I

742
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,519
thought you did well.

743
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:40,240
>> Thank you.

744
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,760
>> Um, thank you. So just just wanted to

752
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,640
>> Okay. So our review for the minutes if

753
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,960
you could review for us Sarah a little

754
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,240
bit about the 24th. And I think some of

755
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,000
us read through them, but maybe we need

756
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,519
to review the minutes again

757
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:14,389
>> and pull those up real quickly.

758
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:16,080
» We have added a link in our current

759
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,760
minutes to the previous board meeting so

760
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,240
that they're really easy to access for

761
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,840
everybody. Also, I also um put a link in

762
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,279
the chat for um the agenda for tonight

763
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,519
if anybody wanted that. Those of you

764
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:31,120
that joined a little bit later, I can

765
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,549
add it again.

766
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:36,960
Just a very quick overview um in case

767
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,559
people didn't get a chance to read them.

768
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:41,600
We had our Steiner study um which was on

769
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,679
the biography and practice of becoming

770
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:46,320
human. And then we had our board

771
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,919
capacity building where we went over the

772
00:32:47,919 --> 00:32:50,080
board government's framework and that we

773
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,760
need to have a board retreat. We need to

774
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,159
pick a time for that this time around.

775
00:32:54,159 --> 00:32:56,080
We didn't have any public comments but

776
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,240
we approved the meetings the minutes for

777
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,279
the previous two meetings.

778
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:03,679
We had a building update from Clint and

779
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:06,000
our admin report from Carol Gregory

780
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,200
where we talked about our charter

781
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,919
amendment application, the CSP grant and

782
00:33:09,919 --> 00:33:12,799
marketing. We also discussed enrollment

783
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:14,320
and some of the issues we're having on

784
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,320
that and how we're working through them.

785
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,640
We discussed our hiring and how we're

786
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,559
dealing with that and that about half of

787
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:23,120
our positions have been hired. We had a

788
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,960
report from Marta that from our finance

789
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,799
committee and we went over that we are

790
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,399
still on budget and we were approved for

791
00:33:30,399 --> 00:33:37,430
the revolving loan.

792
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,840
Okay. So, could we have a vote? Is there

793
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,600
someone who would um vote to approve the

794
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:52,230
minutes read by Sarah uh Archbald?

795
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,960
I propose that we vote to approve the

796
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,279
last meeting's minutes.

797
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,679
>> And do we have someone to second that?

798
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:01,039
>> I'll second it.

799
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,600
>> Thank you, Sarah.

800
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,760
Okay. And let's have a vote on approving

801
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,560
the last month's minutes. All those in

802
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,079

Thank you. I I see an icon from

00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:21,359
All right. That is the minutes have been

807
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:24,470

808
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,040
Um

815
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,560

00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:24,000
but you could you could zoom in on this

830
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,040
call. Like thea may want to zoom in from

831
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,520
on our board on our meetings.

832
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,160
So is there anyone else who has an

00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,760
objection to that date? Carrie, when do

00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,079

835
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:43,440
that week that would be more possible?

836
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,000
So, we leave I'm trying to get my

kids. I can listen in, but I won't. It

844
00:36:11,839 --> 00:36:13,280

845
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,000

so the 13th is the Saturday, but like I

852
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,800

Of

873
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:31,440
» course, if we meet from 11 to 4, that

874
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,640
doesn't cause conflict.

875
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,119
I'm all right with Monday.

876
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:38,960

was the only date that was proposed last

881
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,760
time. So, this is your negotiation time.

Okay. So, the eight has been proposed as an

902
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:59,680

>> Okay.

904
00:39:01,359 --> 00:39:03,760
Um,

905
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,880
is the ETH easier for everyone to have

906
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,599
three days in a row with a board retreat

907
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,240
and then the conference or is it better

908
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:13,760
to separate them? If you do it on

909
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Monday, the conference is on Wednesday

910
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,160
and Thursday, so your board retreat

911
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,440
would be

912
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,599
>> and then there two for the 10th and

913
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:22,400
11th.

914
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,200
>> Yeah.

915
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,040
>> Oh, I was thinking it was the 9th and

916
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,320
10th.

917
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,760
>> The works for me.

918
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,040
>> That works then.

919
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,150
>> June 8th works for me also.

920
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,400
So, should we have a vote about June 8th

921
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:44,790
then from 11 to 4 pm?

922
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Okay.

923
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,520
So, let's do let's have a vote to

924
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,560
approve June 8th as our board retreat

925
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,720
date. Do I have someone who would be

926
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:57,520
willing to make a motion for that date

927
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,680
on the 8th? Thank you, Thesa. And

928
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,160
someone who would second that date, June

929
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,680
8th. Okay. Thank you, Martha. And so

930
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,680
let's have a vote of the board members

931
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,349
on

932
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:14,400
uh June. So Monday, June 8th has been

933
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,960
proposed as the board retreat date.

934
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,320
Let's have a vote for that. Hands yes or

935
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,920
no with hands up.

936
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,000
Um that works for me. I might be a

937
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,400
little like on a little exhaustion, but

938
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,359
I'll be there.

939
00:40:31,359 --> 00:40:34,480
>> Let's see. So, we have Christian and

940
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,400
Carrie, myself, Sarah,

941
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,000
Marta,

942
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,720
and Thisa. Okay, that's a unanimous

943
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,760
Well, well, aside from Alicia, Alicia,

944
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,720
we have a unanimous vote for that for

945
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,240
that.

946
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,440
>> One moment real quick. Um, who was the

947
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,760
one who proposed and seconded that?

948
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,119
Sarah's looking at flight information

949
00:40:57,119 --> 00:40:58,640
for that day.

950
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,319
Oh, the one who proposed was

951
00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:05,520
>> didn't Thea proposed its proposed

952
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,400
>> and Marta seconded it.

953
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,000
>> Thank you.

954
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,560
>> Sarah brings up a good point though if

955
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,440
Sarah's having to fly in. We may want to

956
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,079
consider when a good time for her to fly

957
00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:19,359
in is.

958
00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:20,800
>> That's perfectly fine. They're actually

959
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,160
slightly cheaper than the times around

960
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,440
it. I'm going to go visit a bunch of

961
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,280
friends.

962
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,680
>> Excellent. I would love to have you

963
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,960
here, Sarah. That would be great.

964
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,640
Okay.

965
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,599
>> All right. So, our next part uh place on

966
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:37,760
the agenda is an administrative report

967
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,400
from Carol. If we could uh turn the time

968
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,880
over to her now.

969
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,800
Sure. Um so, this CSP grant update is

970
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,960
that we did our capacity interview. Um

971
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,560
we all feel really good about it when we

972
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,040
find out next Monday. Um so, we're just

973
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,720
waiting on pins and needles until that

974
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:57,440
happens. Um, as far as our building

975
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,599
update, we were able to get keys

976
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:02,720
yesterday afternoon for the office at

977
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:05,440
our building here in Provo. Um, so we

978
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,920
have the office available from 4:30 in

979
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,839
the afternoon once they've cleared the

980
00:42:09,839 --> 00:42:12,240
building from their current school um,

981
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:16,960
hours. And we are scheduling tours um,

982
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,640
on three days a week, Tuesdays,

983
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,160
Wednesdays or Thursdays when people

984
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,160
reach out to us for a tour that we can

985
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,680
take them and and show them through the

986
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,079
site. When they come for a tour, we plan

987
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,640
on handing them um a calendar for next

988
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,200
year and the graduation requirements,

989
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,040
answering their questions about the

990
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,800
program and and helping them get a

991
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,000
picture for what we're doing. We also

992
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,520
have a grand um opening planned and

993
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,920
community outreach um for um a birthday

994
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,440
party for Azure Fields on May 2nd. Um

995
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,240
and um that'll be here at the Provo

996
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:54,560
building in the back of the parking lot

997
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,839
from 10 to noon. Um and we're pulling in

998
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:02,000
our partners. We've got some community

999
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,640
partners that can talk about um kind of

1000
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,800
some of their program offerings as well

1001
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,359
as our um initial teachers that we're

1002
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:12,000
talking we're talking to um for our

1003
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,240
initial faculty to come and meet the

1004
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:15,920
families as as well as those who are

1005
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,119
interested in enrolling. So, we're

1006
00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:18,800
trying to get the word out to the

1007
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,760
community that we're here. Um, I am

1008
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
ordering banners to be printed um that

1009
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,160
demonstrate that um say future home of

1010
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,520
Azure Field Charter High School. Um we

1011
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,040
have t-shirts um that we will our

1012
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,359
faculty people will be our office people

1013
00:43:37,359 --> 00:43:41,440
will all have a t-shirt with our logo um

1014
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:49,680
for that event. Um let's see. Um there were some other um state updates

1015
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,520
in in one of the meetings I was recently

1016
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:56,160
in. Um there is a new Senate Bill 186

1017
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,200
from this past legislative session um

1018
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,920
that our charter board members must take

1019
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,400
an oath of office um like the school

1020
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,119
districts do. And so I'll be giving more

1021
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:08,480
information to the board in the next

1022
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,480
couple of weeks as we dive into what

1023
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,680
that looks like and what those

1024
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,000
requirements mean. Um, so just put on

1025
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,560
your radar at the board retreat. We can

1026
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,800
address um the oath of office. Um, and

1027
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,640
there was also a piece of legislation

1028
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,319
around um firearms in school safety um

1029
00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:29,680
and and having a person um designated on

1030
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,200
campus if we don't have a resource

1031
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,359
officer. um they if if faculty members

1032
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:38,400
want to have a concealed carry um that

1033
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,599
they can do that privately um and I

1034
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:44,640
don't need notice of that um but it has

1035
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,520
to be completely concealed um at all

1036
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,079
times. So there's some more information

1037
00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:52,960
on that. Um I don't know if Shannon

1038
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,800
knows any more about that than I do, but

1039
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,079
those are some things that we're all

1040
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:57,839
trying to figure out. How do we stay

1041
00:44:57,839 --> 00:45:02,000
compliant with the law? Um we have sent

1042
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,680
out initial offer letters to um three of

1043
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,560
our initial core teachers um for next

1044
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,599
year and they have responded positively.

1045
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,280
So we're working on background checks

1046
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,720
and checking lensure. Um so we have a

1047
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,200
social studies teacher, a special

1048
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,240
education teacher, and a PE and

1049
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:25,359
facilities manager teacher that we have

1050
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:27,119
um

1051
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,920
sent initial offers to. We're getting

1052
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,920
these initial people together on April

1053
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,520
25th to kind of see how they work

1054
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,119
together as a faculty um and talking

1055
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:38,880
about next steps and and how we're going

1056
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:44,720
to build. We had a um

1057
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,119
we had a lot fewer science and

1058
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:49,760
mathematics teachers apply and and

1059
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,440
English teachers also took a while to

1060
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,359
get some good applicants in the pool.

1061
00:45:53,359 --> 00:45:56,800
So, we're doing some um final interviews

1062
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:02,560
for um science and and um English this

1063
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,760
week. Um we have a math teacher that um

1064
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,280
we feel confident in moving forward, but

1065
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:08,720
they just haven't sent his offer letter

1066
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:13,200
yet. Um and and science is tricky

1067
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,160
because most um science certifications

1068
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:22,880
are either life sciences or physics and earth sciences. It's either biology,

1069
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,240
chemistry, or physics or science. Um, we

1070
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:29,599
do have an applicant that has some

1071
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:31,119
experience in both. While they're not

1072
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:33,599
fully certified in physics, they do have

1073
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:36,880
um quite a bit of physics in their um in

1074
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,800
their undergraduate and graduate work.

1075
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,000
Um, so that's what we're looking at as

1076
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,119
far as that goes. um for recommending um

1077
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:51,200
some specifics. I'm I think that we

1078
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,760
should be in a closed session for that.

1079
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,520
Um talking about some specifics of

1080
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,920
personnel um for some of the offers that

1081
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,309
I want to send out.

1082
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:04,560
Um and that would need to be a a board

1083
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:09,040
action um to discuss those specifics.

1084
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,040
>> Okay.

1085
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,480
Do we have someone who could make a

1086
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,800
motion to approve a closed session to

1087
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,160
discuss personnel proposals?

1088
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,040
>> I motion to go in.

1089
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,640
>> Go ahead, Sarah.

1090
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,760
>> Go ahead, Carrie.

1091
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,760
>> Thank you, Carrie. We'll we'll take

1092
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,280
>> to go into a close session

1093
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,319
>> and Sarah uh mo seconded the motion.

1094
00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:32,560
Let's have a vote on that to to have a

1095
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,880
closed session.

1096
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,560
Two, three, four.

1097
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,030
Marta, are you there?

1098
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:48,390
Let's see.

1099
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,079
My hand is up.

1100
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:51,119
>> Thank you, Marta.

1101
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:52,960
>> Oh, thank you, Shannon.

1102
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,040
>> Just a reminder that the reason for

1103
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,359
going in is um to discuss personnel

1104
00:47:57,359 --> 00:47:58,800
issues and that's the only thing that we

1105
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,280
can discuss in um in the closed session

1106
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,280
that we go to. And then um the vote

1107
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,760
actually goes by name. So um Susan, you

1108
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,839
would go down the um

1109
00:48:13,839 --> 00:48:15,839
the list. So the character and

1110
00:48:15,839 --> 00:48:21,760
competence of of an individual um would be the reason. Um Shannon, can I

1111
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,910
ask a clarifying question?

1112
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,240
» Go ahead. Sorry, I

1113
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:29,520
>> No, thank you, Shannon.

1114
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,359
>> This is something that could, you know,

1115
00:48:31,359 --> 00:48:33,440
is a legally binding thing. So, I just

1116
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,559
wanted to make sure you're getting it

1117
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:36,400
right. But, what is your question?

1118
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,000
>> Um, so, so some of the details, um, if

1119
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
we're discussing the the qualifications

1120
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,119
of a specific person for the position,

1121
00:48:45,119 --> 00:48:49,040
um, and and then, um, if I ask for an

1122
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,839
exception to the pay scale um, to

1123
00:48:51,839 --> 00:48:54,400
negotiate, which parts of that would be

1124
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,119
close session and which not.

1125
00:48:57,119 --> 00:49:00,230
So

1126
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:01,359
you could

1127
00:49:01,359 --> 00:49:03,920
>> yeah you could discuss the does this

1128
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,920
character does this individual meet the

1129
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,960
criteria that you need and discuss that competency. Um

1130
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,280
if you're asking for a variance to your

1131
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,200
published pay scale that probably should

1132
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,880
be more of a public discussion.

1133
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,359
>> Okay.

1134
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:19,839
>> You can you can discuss it in here

1135
00:49:19,839 --> 00:49:20,880
>> and make sure the board is

1136
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,920
understanding. But then when you come

1137
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,720
out, you're going to vote to

1138
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:26,960
>> approve a scale, whatever that is, so

1139
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,400
that it's open and transparent in

1140
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,480
public. But there's nothing about that can't be done in public.

1141
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:32,800
>> Okay.

1142
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,240
>> If you would choose.

1143
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,800
>> Okay. Um, great. So,

1144
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,960
>> so do I need to try again to propose

1145
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,559
that with the correct wording?

1146
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:42,000
>> Yes. Okay.

1147
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000
>> Thank you so much, Shannon.

1148
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:44,400
>> Yeah.

1149
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,040
>> Thank you so much for helping us learn

1150
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,559
this this.

1151
00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:51,520
>> Okay. I propose that we go into a closed

1152
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,960
session to discuss the character and

1153
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:00,630
competence of an individual for hire.

1154
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,160
» You know someone who could second that

1155
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,349
motion.

1156
00:50:05,359 --> 00:50:07,680
» Did Sarah say that she second?

1157
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,720
>> Yes.

1158
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:11,440
>> Okay. Sarah is seconding. So then we'll

1159
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,760
have a vote to of going into a closed

1160
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,880
session to discuss personnel proposals

1161
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:17,520
and

1162
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,200
>> then Susan, you'll just go down the list

1163
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,240
for this one.

1164
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:20,880
>> Okay.

1165
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,720
>> So you'll say your vote and and

1166
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,680
>> and I vote yes. Sarah votes

1167
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,480
>> yes.

1168
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,440
Marta,

unanimous vote to go into close session.

1175
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,920
Okay. So let me move the board into a

1176
00:50:47,920 --> 00:51:12,150
breakout room. Um Shannon

1177
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,160
Carol, were you wanting us to hear you

1178
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,200

1179
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,319
>> Yes,

1180
00:51:16,319 --> 00:51:17,920
>> I'm muted. I was just making sure that

1181
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:27,589
everybody made it back.

1182
00:51:27,599 --> 00:51:30,640
» Who's going to summarize?

1183
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,599
I am adding to the

1184
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:35,119
>> Did you want to

1185
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:38,870
>> summarize that?

1186
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,119
» I was just going to say

1187
00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:43,040
>> I added something to the minutes if

1188
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,480
you'd like me to read that.

1189
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,359
>> Go ahead.

1190
00:51:45,359 --> 00:51:46,800
>> Yes. Thank you, Sarah.

1191
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,960
>> The close session discussed specific

1192
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,359
individuals and their qualification for

1193
00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:53,200
a position.

1194
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:59,349
just very

1195
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:01,680
» and an adjustment to the salary

1196
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,520
schedule.

1197
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,520
>> So So now you continue that conversation

1198
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:06,720
here.

1199
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:08,559
>> Okay.

1200
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:11,440
>> So um so I I can take that piece. Um so

1201
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,520
as executive director I am proposing

1202
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,319
that we give an exception to the salary

1203
00:52:16,319 --> 00:52:18,960
schedule um for one of the individuals

1204
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,079
that we are looking to hire. Um and he

1205
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:26,000
would start um the

1206
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,680
um his employment um we would count

1207
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,280
every 2 years of his experience as one

1208
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,000
year instead of every 3 years as one

1209
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,559
year um to start him on step um four of

1210
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:43,920
the salary schedule instead of step two.

1211
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,680
and also that there would be a stipen

1212
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,520
for him

1213
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,680
to take on the position of facilities

1214
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,960
management.

1215
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,280
>> I don't know that the board needs to

1216
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,800
approve that component. The exception

1217
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,520
that I'm looking for is is just to um

1218
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,200
give him an exception for the salary

1219
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,000
schedule.

1220
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,440
>> Okay.

1221
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,920
>> I would propose that we vote to give an

1222
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,079
exception to the salary schedule to

1223
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:08,559
count two years as one year instead of

1224
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:11,359
three.

1225
00:53:11,359 --> 00:53:13,839
>> I second the motion.

1226
00:53:13,839 --> 00:53:16,000
Okay, if we could have a full board vote

1227
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,640
on that motion. Raise your hand, please,

1228
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,960
for I of course. So, we have myself and

1229
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,559
Sarah. Marta is an I vote. Christian

1230
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:32,480
is an I vote. Carrie is an I vote. And

1231
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,040
Thesisa, that's our that's our unanimous

1232
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,359
vote.

1233
00:53:37,359 --> 00:53:41,119
>> Thank you. I'll continue working with um

1234
00:53:41,119 --> 00:53:43,520
with our new hires. Um, let me see if

1235
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,599
there was anything else that I had on my

1236
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:51,510
um update.

1237
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,480
Um, I think the other um updates to to

1238
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,400
have I have it down on marketing and

1239
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,400
outreach after the finance committee

1240
00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,359
report.

1241
00:53:59,359 --> 00:54:01,760
>> Okay, let's move now to our board

1242
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,359
committee reports. If we could have

1243
00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:05,119
Marty give us a finance committee

1244
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:07,040
report.

1245
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,319
Yeah.

1246
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:11,040
Um,

1247
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,280
the

1248
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,480
information that I get via email from

1249
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,720
Jeff Bisinger is that everything is on

1250
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:26,079
budget. Um, we're being paid as

1251
00:54:26,079 --> 00:54:27,680
forecast.

1252
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:32,160
Um, salaries are being paid. Um, the

you call that, is being paid. Everything

1255
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:43,829
looks good as far as being on budget.

1256
00:54:43,839 --> 00:54:49,119
Waiting the news of the CSP grant.

1257
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:53,200
Carol, did we get news on our revolving?

00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,520
into our bank account. Um and and we

1265
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,559
also are working on um a year-end review

1266
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:23,359
of the budget for the board retreat um

1267
00:55:23,359 --> 00:55:27,440
so that we can do the final um approval

1268
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,160
and and updates to our budget for our

1269
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,240
pre-operational year and um and prepare

1270
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:40,390
budgets for next year for operations.

1271
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,559
Hey, are we ready now to move on to our

1272
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:45,920
marketing and outreach report? We'll

1273
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,760
move to Carol for that marketing and

1274
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,960
outreach report. Um, oh, one final note.

1275
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,680
>> Oh, one final note on the on the budget

1276
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,400
review. Um, when you review and approve

1277
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,119
the budgets in June, um, we have 30 days

1278
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:01,200
from that date of approval to upload

1279
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,760
that to the state. So, we'll that's kind

1280
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,599
of the process there. Jeff, was there

1281
00:56:05,599 --> 00:56:07,680
anything that you wanted to add um to

1282
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,920
that piece?

1283
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,480
>> No, I think you guys covered it. Um I I

1284
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,920
think uh just the the revolving loans

1285
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:20,799
coming at a good time. You know, we've pretty much spent the um startup

1286
00:56:20,799 --> 00:56:22,559
grant at this point, which is what was

1287
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:25,440
planned. Um but, uh the the revolving

1288
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,880
loan funds are coming at a good time.

1289
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,920
So, um, as long as we get that kind of

1290
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,319
in the expected timeline, we I don't

1291
00:56:32,319 --> 00:56:34,319
think we'll see a gap in in anything.

1292
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:36,160
But Caroline and I talked the other day

1293
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,160
if if that is delayed a week or so, we

1294
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,359
may need to um kind of hold off on a

1295
00:56:41,359 --> 00:56:42,559
couple of payments, but nothing too

1296
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:44,480
drastic or big and and Caroline's been

1297
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:45,760
great about being upfront with that with

1298
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,920
everyone, too. So, um, but the revolving

1299
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,920
loan is coming, so even if it is an

1300
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,960
issue, it's going to be a five issue,

1301
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,589
like not anything long term.

1302
00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:05,200
Okay. So then um with the marketing and outreach um our billboard signs um I

1303
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,359
still get um so one of the applicants

1304
00:57:07,359 --> 00:57:09,440
that we had we interviewed today said I

1305
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,280
saw your billboard and had to go find

1306
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,200
out more. So I know that traditionally

1307
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,680
billboards don't get a lot of hits but

1308
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,359
um our experience with this has been

1309
00:57:17,359 --> 00:57:19,359
highly successful in in a lot of

1310
00:57:19,359 --> 00:57:21,920
connections. Um we are updating those

1311
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,000
with a call to action of people to come

1312
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,319
and tour now that we have access in our

1313
00:57:26,319 --> 00:57:29,839
building to provide those tours. Um we

1314
00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:32,559
are also inviting our families to come

1315
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:34,559
into the building. Our office hours um

1316
00:57:34,559 --> 00:57:38,079
are 4:45 to 6:00 p.m. um Tuesday,

1317
00:57:38,079 --> 00:57:40,640
Wednesday, Thursday for parents to drop

1318
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,119
in their um enrollment documentation. Um

1319
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:47,359
so we have now the keys to the Provo

1320
00:57:47,359 --> 00:57:50,079
building and are starting those tours

1321
00:57:50,079 --> 00:57:53,839
and events. Um we have calendared um

1322
00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:57,040

1323
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,599
well as online um access for each of

1324
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:03,359
those events and they will be um once a

1325
00:58:03,359 --> 00:58:06,640
week from now until June so that we can

1326
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,400
build momentum of people know that they

1327
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,559
can come. The first week will be on a

1328
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:12,480
Tuesday, the second week on a Wednesday,

1329
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,400

our community connections so families

1359

1360
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,000
of opportunities they will have when

1361
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,599

01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:03,040
you know that you're there? And maybe

1440
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,319
um and I must admit I know you've moved

1441
01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:08,880
into new building but I'm not I cannot

1442
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,400
picture it in my head. So, but I would I would canvas the rest of the

1443
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,039
area and any other charter schools. Even

1444
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:17,359
if it's a different philosophy, parents

1445
01:03:17,359 --> 01:03:20,160
might be interested in an option. So,

1446
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,039
ask take flyers in invite them to come

1447
01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:24,960
to your big birthday celebration. Invite

1448
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,359
those people. I know that you mentioned

1449
01:03:27,359 --> 01:03:29,680
I've heard tonight um homeschool

1450
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:30,880
families.

1451
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:32,319
>> I'm I'm assuming you've already tapped

1452
01:03:32,319 --> 01:03:34,319
into that market to make sure you're

1453
01:03:34,319 --> 01:03:36,160
doing that, which is great. We were at

1454
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,400
the um BYU.

1455
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:41,119
>> Yes.

1456
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:43,680
>> Fits all. Utah fits all. We were there.

1457
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,000
Yeah.

1458
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,520
>> Good. Good. I mean, I wasn't there, but

1459
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,720
I just saw the the um advertising or

1460
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,880
posting of it later. I know that you are

1461
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,359
further away from Mountain Sunrise

1462
01:03:55,359 --> 01:03:57,920
Academy, but I don't think it would hurt

1463
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,559
to stop in there and leave some of your

1464
01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:02,720
flyers and your information because

1465
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,119
there might be families further south

1466
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,440
that would consider it. And at this

1467
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,000
point, you have nothing to lose.

1468
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:10,640
>> Yep.

1469
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,160
>> Other than just reaching out. So, I

1470
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,559
would I would do that and look at

1471
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:16,559
additional schools

1472
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:20,960
>> that might feed into your school.

1473
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,880
And then also,

1474
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,720
>> right, I've also connected with Tam

1475
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,559
Watson and and we discussed other

1476
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:29,920
options for that as well. Um,

1477
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,480
you might school that's near MSA also,

1478
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,960
Lakeside. Have we done any advertising

1479
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,640
through them? Okay, good idea there,

1480
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:42,079
too. I one of our enrollments was a um

1481
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:44,400
referral from a John Hancock 8th grade

1482
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,079
teacher that said, "I think this school

1483
01:04:46,079 --> 01:04:49,520
will be a good fit for you." So we we

1484
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,680
we're getting it out there. No, that's

1485
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:52,960
where you're networking like when you

1486
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:54,319
come to conference and network with

1487
01:04:54,319 --> 01:04:56,079
people if they know then that's great. I

1488
01:04:56,079 --> 01:04:58,480
know that Tamara was extremely excited

1489
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,640
when she came back and to tell us about

1490
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,480
some of the things that are going on.

1491
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,880
She's an advocate and if you can utilize

1492
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,680
her in any way,

1493
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,520
>> please do. I'm reaching out to her again

1494
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,680
this week. She was on she went out of

1495
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,359
the country for a bit. So we'll be

1496
01:05:13,359 --> 01:05:14,640
reaching out again this week.

1497
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,839
>> That's great. So yes, if she's whatever

1498
01:05:17,839 --> 01:05:19,839
she offers, take her up on it because

1499
01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:22,319
she I know that you connected over

1500
01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:24,400
brunch or breakfast or something, but

1501
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,119
she is she was excited about your your

1502
01:05:27,119 --> 01:05:28,960
opportunity. So So we'll be definitely

1503
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,640
reconnecting with her. One last thing

1504
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:34,400
before Car's hand, um we are attending

1505
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,480
Treeides Mayfair on May 9th. Perfect. So

1506
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,079
we'll be talking to the families in that

1507
01:05:40,079 --> 01:05:42,960
community on on May 9th.

1508
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,440
That's excellent. Are we going to be at

1509
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:50,240
MSA's Mayfair as well? Um, I know we've

1510
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,960
been talking about it. We were at their

1511
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,400
winter fair and and had great

1512
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,480
connections with the families there. Um,

1513
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,599
and and so I don't know if we were able

1514
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:03,520
to find that date yet or not. Um, I know

1515
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,000
we looked at it and talked about it. So,

1516
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,760
>> yeah, I can send you the date.

1517
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,160
>> Okay. Um,

1518
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,359
okay. This is an uncomfortable idea for

1519
01:06:13,359 --> 01:06:15,839
me, but I it won't leave my mind. I know

1520
01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:18,079
that we talked about it, Carol, a little

1521
01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:20,720
bit, but it was before we had the

1522
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:21,599
building.

1523
01:06:21,599 --> 01:06:24,799
>> I have just been kind of scheming with a

1524
01:06:24,799 --> 01:06:28,880
friend to um host a mom's night out,

1525
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,400
just like a dance party.

1526
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:31,039
>> Great.

1527
01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:33,440
>> And we know that there's like tons of

1528
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,160
moms that just want to be able to dance

1529
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:37,920
in like a safe environment.

1530
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,640
>> Mhm. Would it be crazy for us to host

1531
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,200
that the building now that we have it?

1532
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:44,880
Because I think that would just be a way

1533
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,480
to get our name out there. It could have

1534
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,839
with the building principal. We're

1535
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:51,680
trying to be very respectful that that

1536
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,119
we're just borrowing the space right

1537
01:06:53,119 --> 01:06:55,200
now. Um and they've been very gracious

1538
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,440
to clear out this office for us. Um

1539
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,920
they've been pretty open to those kinds

1540
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:03,119
of things. They make second event um for

1541
01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:04,960
as long as it doesn't coincide with

1542
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,240
their school schedule. So I would need

1543
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,160
to clear that with them. um they're

1544
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,640
generally out of the building by 4:30,

1545
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,319
by 5 definitely. Um and and so we could

1546
01:07:14,319 --> 01:07:16,000
look at doing that in the space and we

1547
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,520
would just want to be very respectful

1548
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,079
about um making sure everything is is

1549
01:07:20,079 --> 01:07:22,640
really cleaned up and put back in place

1550
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,559
um after such a thing.

1551
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:26,240
>> Yeah. And we could do that. All we would

1552
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,240
need is like a little bit of gym gym

1553
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:28,880
space.

1554
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:29,280
>> Mhm.

1555
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,000
>> And it it would be really like low key,

1556
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,880
but that's something that's shared on

1557
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,240
more spaces if we created an event like

1558
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,160
that that would be shared on different

1559
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,559
spaces but still with moms.

1560
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:43,680
>> Mhm.

1561
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,920
>> So

1562
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,599
something to consider.

1563
01:07:47,599 --> 01:07:50,559
>> If you if you can ask about that, get

1564
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:53,280
back to me. I'm happy to.

1565
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,160
>> We're going to do it anyways. Let's

1566
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,440
help you with your venue. You'll

1567
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,039
probably need to I don't know that we

1568
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:00,720
have access to their sound system in the

1569
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,240
room, so you don't want to bring in your

1570
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,960
own um speakers or whatever, but um

1571
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,400
yeah, come in and look at the building

1572
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,000
and see what you think.

1573
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,960
>> Okay. A lot of times sound system, you

1574
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,079
know, you just have to have the right

1575
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:12,640
plug.

1576
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,839
>> I know from a previous I had with them,

1577
01:08:15,839 --> 01:08:19,040
um I think their their stuff is in a

1578
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,960
separate lock room

1579
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,199
>> that isn't in the main room in itself.

1580
01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:24,080
So,

1581
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,759
>> okay.

1582
01:08:25,759 --> 01:08:27,600
>> Well, just an idea.

1583
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,040
>> Okay.

1584
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,640
Thanks, guys.

1585
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,480
>> All right. So, um, do we have a motion

1586
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:40,159
to vote to adjourn our our meeting

1587
01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:41,520
closing?

1588
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,920
>> I sure do. Yes, I do. Do you want me to

1589
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:44,560
read that?

1590
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,560
>> Yes.

1591
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,120
that a healthy social life is found when

1592
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,359
in the mirror of each human soul the

1593
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:53,920
whole community finds its reflection and

1594
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,960
when in the community the virtue of each

1595
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,679
one is living.

1596
01:08:59,679 --> 01:09:01,679
Thank you.

1597
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:04,799
So um if we could have a vote now to

1598
01:09:04,799 --> 01:09:08,080
adjourn our our April meeting of the

1599
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,560
Azure Fields Charter High School. Could

1600
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,279
we have someone make a motion to to

1601
01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:16,880
adjourn this meeting?

1602
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,600
Thank you, Lisa.

1603
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,440
>> Okay. And thank you, Sarah. And then

1604
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:28,159
let's have a vote from members.

1605
01:09:28,159 --> 01:09:31,440
If you could raise your hand to say I.

1606
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:33,600
>> My hand is up.

1607
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,799
>> I see you, Marta. Okay. Just a minute to
