1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,199
She just logged in.

2
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,000
>> Oh, there you are, Susan. Hi.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,950

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,240
» Hello everyone. Nice to see you tonight.

Thisa start our meeting with the the

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,080
verse. That would be great.

8
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,400
>> Yeah, but Susan, I'm afraid I can't put

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,400
my hand on it. I had

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,240
>> Let me go ahead and share.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,039
>> Yeah.

12
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,679
post the agenda tonight, Carol, I forgot

13
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:35,440
to bring my copy of it, unfortunately.

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,350
>> Okay.

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,830
» Can you guys see that?

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,079
» Yes, Iged it. That's great.

17
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:50,320
>> I can see it. Shall I read it?

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,910
>> Sure. Thank you, Thesa.

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,120
May our feeling penetrate into the

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,359
center of our heart and seek in love to

21
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,640
unite itself with the human beings

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,680
seeking the same goal.

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,200
with spirit beings who bear grace,

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,560
strengthening us from realms of light

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,320
and illumining our love and gazing down

26
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,870
upon our earnest, heartfelt striving.

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:36,069
Rudolph Steiner,

28
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,400
thank you.

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,119
Um,

30
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:43,439
our charter school board university

31
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:46,000
training will have to be moved to next

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,240
month. Again, I'm I forgot to bring it

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
to my the house, my daughter's house

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,950
tonight.

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,479
So,

36
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:04,320
um, let's move down to public comments.

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,159
Are there any public comments that want

38
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,800
to be need to be made tonight? Do we

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,360
have anyone?

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,360
>> Okay. Do you want Tamara to introduce

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,319
herself to the board?

42
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:18,640
>> I do want that to happen. Hi, Tamara.

43
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,640
>> Hello.

44
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,280
>> I'd like to uh thank you for letting me

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280
uh join you all. My name is Tamara

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,599
Watson. I was introduced to the charter

47
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:29,440
school world

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,080
uh nearly a year maybe a year and a half

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120
ago and I sat down to brunch with

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Caroline Caroline what's it been a

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,319
couple months three months and was

52
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,760
really impressed with her passion and

53
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,360
for the uh foundation of the school. It

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,360
tends to align very personally with

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,040
things that I believe in my life as

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,920
well. And so, as I've had some free time

57
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,800
open up this summer, I said, "Why not?"

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,200
uh why not try to give back and try to

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,879
give back to a charter school that I

60
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:03,040
believe in. And so, I reached out to

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,200
Caroline and asked if there were uh

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280
still availability on the board and she

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,120
said yes. So, I'm here. A little bit uh

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,280
about my background. I was raised in

65
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,599
central Utah on a small sheep operation.

66
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,640
I was raised in a very community uh

67
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,760
advocacy location and I grew up being

68
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,080
part of community and also having a lot

69
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
of my education come from the great

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,599
outdoors.

71
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,599
Uh I majored in agriculture

72
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:32,879
communications at Utah State and

73
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,040
Oklahoma State University. I spent the

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
last 16 years working with organizations

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,680
and entrepreneurs to really refine their

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,959
messaging and connect with their

77
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:43,200
audiences. So I'm just looking forward

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,840
to making an impact here in in any way

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920
that I can.

80
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,519
Lovely. That sounds like we really need

81
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:52,319
you, Tam. [laughter]

82
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:53,920
>> Happy to be here.

83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,560
>> So, put me to work.

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,959
>> Thank you so much. Um,

85
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:03,280
>> sometime um Tamara, you can tell us uh

86
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,560
how to market things.

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,360
>> You know, I'll put on that hat. I

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,519
probably put that hat on a little too

89
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,159
much. You can ask Suzanne. I work with

90
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:15,680
Suzanne at the Utah Association of

91
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,959
Public Charter School and I'm always

92
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,239
thinking about something. Aren't I

93
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:20,560
Suzanne?

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,360
>> And great great thoughts at that. So,

95
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,600
yes, very much so.

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520
>> Okay. Um, let's move forward now to the

97
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,840
review of our minutes. Sarah, do you

98
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,680
want to review those a few minutes or do

99
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,880
we

100
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,560
>> Yes, I sent them out, but I just

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,759
>> We can't hear you.

102
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,520
>> Oh, darn. Okay, give me one second.

103
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,800
>> Am I muted again? No. Sarah.

104
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,199
>> Oh, Sarah.

105
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:53,030
>> Okay.

106
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,120
» Susan, can you see the the minutes that

107
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,000
I'm sharing?

108
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,479
>> Yes. Thank you. That really helps.

109
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:00,720
>> Yeah, not a problem.

110
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,199
>> Now,

111
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,600
>> Nope, we can't hear you.

112
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,759
>> You are not muted, but your sound is not

113
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,639
being picked up.

114
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,039
>> Okay. Now, you should able to.

115
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:12,400
>> Yep. [laughter]

116
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,280
Okay.

117
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,390
All right.

118
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,039
Sorry about that. So, I sent them out

119
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:23,520
beforehand. Just a brief review. We had

120
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,320
our meeting approvals. Um, we approved

121
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,800
the board minutes from June 29th and

122
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,800
July 14th and talked about the CL

123
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,960
cancellation notes. Um, and then we also

124
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,720
discussed needing clarification on

125
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,199
administering the oath of office. We

126
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:40,720
discussed the school status and

127
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,080
enrollment. The school is currently in

128
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,280
deferment and we submitted a

129
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,080
pre-application to expand grades 7 to 12

130
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,479
so we could expand grades up to 7 to 12.

131
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:51,919
Targeting opening in fall 2027. We and

132
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:54,560
reaching 150 students by December is

133
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,080
critical. Without those numbers, the

134
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,320
school cannot secure a built uh a

135
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,840
building and will have to withdraw the

136
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,320
application. We had planned recruitment

137
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,319
efforts to include surveys to feeder

138
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,960
schools and attending preview nights.

139
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,280
The primary location was being

140
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,280
considered or were near Terry side and

141
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,319
per potentially using with a delayed

142
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:17,199
start the novel place offices. The

143
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:18,880
travel time and location remain

144
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,039
significant concerns for our proect our

145
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:22,560
families.

146
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,639
Uh the school currently has no active

147
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,560
funding and no employees. It spent

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,960
approximately 35,000 in a revolving loan

149
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,960
that cannot be repaid unless the school

150
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
opens, raising default concerns. Upfront

151
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,360
costs such as website maintenance and

152
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,240
furniture were creating severe pressure.

153
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,560
The board entered a close session at

154
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,240
8:02 p.m. to 8:28

155
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,080
p.m. to discuss legal matters concerning

156
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,240
the school and the revolving loan before

157
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,919
returning to an open session and a

158
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:52,950
journey.

159
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,280
» Thank you so much, Sarah. Okay. Should

160
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:00,639

169

and then let's have a vote, please.

171
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:26,720
Everyone raise your hand or or actually

223
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,440
And then let's do a vote

224
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,320

>> and Carrie obviously is not here.

233
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,230
Atheisa. That's right.

234
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:17,030
And Alicia.

235
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,880
» Sorry, I thought I already said I. So I

Tamara Watson is a new board member

241
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,399
coming in and we're grateful to have

242
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,360

243
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920
her. Um, do I have someone who can

244
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,360
motion to approve Carrie? I mean, um,

245
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,120
I have a motion to approve Tamara as a

246
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,959
new board member for Azure Fields

247
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:53,519
Charter High School.

248
00:10:53,519 --> 00:11:05,110
>> I second.

249
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,762
Nope. You're on the wrong line, Sarah.

250
00:11:08,762 --> 00:11:08,880
[laughter]

251
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,640
>> I always do that. I'll move them

252
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360
eventually. I just don't normally have I

253
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,560
get paranoid when I have an English

254
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,160
teacher looking over my shoulder because

255
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,839
I don't spell [laughter] well. You're

256
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:21,829
>> You're funny.

257
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:36,550
» Susan, you're unmuted.

258
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,720
Nope, you mute. You unmuted and muted

259
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,120
again.

260
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,858
>> Okay, there you go. There you are.

261
00:11:40,858 --> 00:11:41,279
[laughter]

262
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:45,040
>> All right. So, Susan McDonald votes I in

263
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,920
great gratitude for thesis for um

264
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Tamara's appointment. Sarah,

265
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,560
>> hi

266
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,839
>> Marta.

267
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:54,720
>> Hi

268
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,000
>> Christian.

269
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,720
>> Hi

270
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,839
>> Carrie. Oh, not Carrie. Thesisa.

271
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:01,680
>> Yeah, I got my hand up.

272
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:07,670
>> Okay. And Alicia.

273
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,200
» Susan is calling everybody's name

274
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,720
because she's on her phone and she can't

275
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,399
necessarily see everybody. So that's

276
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,240
clarification of procedures going on

277
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,880
tonight.

278
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,279
>> I'm watching the um I'm watching the

279
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,000
board agenda on my phone. Sorry. So,

280
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,760
that's different than other nights we've

281
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,800
had. Thank you for helping me a little

282
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,120
bit. Okay. Um, our other business amend

283
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,079
the bylaws. Can I have Carol if you

284
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:33,920
could take over and share with us about

285
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,959
that? Um yeah, just after our first two

286
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:41,040
years of operation um and you know

287
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:47,600
managing um the coming and going um it's been a challenge to keep our

288
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,079
original rather large board full. Um and

289
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:58,000
so just an idea moving forward um to

290
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,839
kind of limit it even more. Five to

291
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:02,399
seven board members um three officer

292
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:03,920
positions. We seem to have been running

293
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,680
fine with a president, secretary, and

294
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,040
treasurer. Um, two or more voting

295
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,920
members. Um, that would be two up to

296
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,279
four voting members. Um, but a quorum

297
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:17,600
setting that at three, a minimum of one

298
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,360
officer and one voting member. So that

299
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,720
the voting members can't get together

300
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,160
against the officers and the officers

301
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,600
can't get together against the voting

302
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,880
members. Um, but three at a minimum

303
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040
would be able to allow business to

304
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,839
continue as usual. um kind of

305
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,240
pre-operationally and we can visit that

306
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,000
again once we get fully operational

307
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,800
um I don't so we can you know the board

308
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
can discuss pros and cons and questions

309
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,200
about this um and and ratify it for now

310
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,200
if if you want um and then proposing to

311
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,440
include this in our bylaws in our new

312
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,519
application for the 7 through 12 moving

313
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:59,360
forward um that maybe a clearer

314
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,279
distinction between pre-operation and

315
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,440
operational board um for functionality

316
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600
um or if we want to continue just go

317
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,639
ahead and um reconfigure the board. So

318
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:13,519
that's just some administrative

319
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,040
advice and in looking at other

320
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,720
successful schools and their boards and

321
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600
how they run. Um so I guess it's open

322
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,240
for discussion

323
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,000
if any of the board members have ideas

324
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,959
of how they feel about that or

325
00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:31,040
>> I Oh, go ahead. I like the board this

326
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,030
idea of this configuration.

327
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,639
» I I brought this up and talked with

328
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,000
Carol about a little bit too and I

329
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,560
really like it because sometimes we've

330
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760
had issues where someone gets sick or

331
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,040
there's this or that and just things

332
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,639
come up and I think having a slightly

333
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,959
smaller board where we can be really

334
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:50,800
choosy about the quality of people we

335
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
bring in. Um, not that we've had any

336
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,880
problems so far, but you know, just in

337
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120
general with boards, it can be tricky.

338
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,079
And also to be able to continue and

339
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:02,000
maintain quorum if we don't for missing

340
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,760
a person here or there cuz you know,

341
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,440
heaven forbid everyone, you know, goes

342
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,880
down with the flu or something like

343
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,399
that. It just makes it easier to

344
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:14,000
make sure our quorum gets met.

345
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
>> Yeah. And I like the idea that we can

346
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,440
change it later on when we are fully

347
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,120
operational.

348
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,959
I like that too, Thesisa.

349
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:23,760
>> Yeah.

350
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,079
>> And this is also a minimum operating as

351
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:30,110
well. We can increase it if we want to.

352
00:15:30,110 --> 00:15:30,639
[clears throat]

353
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:34,639
>> We're just not required to.

354
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:37,279
>> So, do we need to vote on this amended

355
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,360
amendment for the bylaws or

356
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,880
>> Yeah, if you if we're the board wants to amend it such so that um in the

357
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,079
future um this would be the the minimum

358
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:50,160
in order to move business forward. Are

359
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,440
there any concerns um that anybody has

360
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,120
about

361
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,720
um

362
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,120
moving in and this would be the minimum

363
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,206
in order to make a decision?

364
00:16:02,206 --> 00:16:04,160
[clears throat]

365
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,519
Well, I think we we would need to be

366
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,360
apprised

367
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160
of of course as you've been doing of you

368
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,399
know the decision that needed to be made

369
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,560
with three people,

370
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,199
>> right?

371
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:22,560
>> So that you know all of us were um

372
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,470
studying it.

373
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,040
» Okay, I like that. Um,

374
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,000
>> also ask if we because we can still go

375
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,360
up in total numbers, do we want to have

376
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,959
something on there where if we have

377
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:41,120
three officers, we have to have a

378
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,440
specific ratio of officers to voting

379
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,160
members or like we pick up a vice

380
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,839
president if we go up to seven people

381
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:50,320
altogether, anything like that, or are

382
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,160
we kind of happy with the way they are?

383
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,320
the the previous bylaws had a a pretty

384
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:05,360
even balance of of having to have but it was pretty full also. Um so

385
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:11,439
um we can go ahead and and add in um

386
00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:12,959
>> but I don't even know if that's a good

387
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:15,360
idea. Is there a benefit to doing that?

388
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:18,559
Like because all of them get the same

389
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:20,319
votes, don't they?

390
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:22,240
>> Yes. So, it doesn't really matter, you

391
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,079
know, like I

392
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,400
Susan's vote isn't worth more than my

393
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,480
vote or anything. No, but but um

394
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,120
sometimes

395
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,760
the

396
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,440
so I mean if you've got a a board

397
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,679
president that's been in there for five

398
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:45,760
years and and um the secretary's been

399
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,960
working with them for four and the

400
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,720
treasur for three or whatever and and

401
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,039
they kind of have their idea of how

402
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,960
things have been running, but then we

403
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,840
get maybe some new voting members in

404
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,080
that um have have noticed some things or

405
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,120
whatever. You know, if we just to make

406
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,799
sure that there's a balance because of

407
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:12,240
the the type of what's it called? The

408
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,120
term limits on the different positions.

409
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,679
Um the voting members come and go pretty

410
00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:20,240
quickly um compared to the officer

411
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,120
positions. And so in the long term,

412
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,799
making sure that there's a balance of

413
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,200
those um right now it doesn't matter.

414
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,679
We've all been here from day one, but in the future, looking down 10 years

415
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:36,080
in the down the road, um if you have,

416
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,000
you know, three officers that have been

417
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240
there for a long time, they might

418
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600
potentially not listen to new people or

419
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,120
new people might want to come in and

420
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,880
usurp something um that's going on. And

421
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,160
so this was one of the checks and

422
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:56,080
balances that we've um wanted to put in making sure that so if we get all

423
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,600
voting members with no Waldorf

424
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,679
experience and then they want to vote in

425
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,360
a certain way and all of our officers

426
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,480
are the ones with the Waldorf

427
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,360
experience. If you can have a quorum

428
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,000
with one or the other of those groups,

429
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,440
then we lose the balance of maintaining

430
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,039
that that um

431
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:17,039
>> I feel like I'm floundering. [laughter]

432
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,280
What if we had a rule where because we

433
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,480
have five right now where three fifths

434
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,200
have to either be voting members or

435
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520
officers. So you can have three fists be

436
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,320
officers or well three fifths be voting

437
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,679
members but not more than that be

438
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:34,160
officers. Would that

439
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,440
>> something in there?

440
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,760
>> Um

441
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,640
minimum of three board members.

442
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,799
Cor I'm going to say cororum must

443
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:52,310
include

444
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,510
um

445
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,120
a

446
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:18,630
I don't know if a a a balance um

447
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:37,029
Oops.

448
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:39,840
Does that make sense?

449
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,440
Um,

450
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,440
a a balance of officer to voting member

451
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,480
ratio three-fifths either officer voting

452
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,320
members can be that three out of five

453
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,559
majority. Is that I think there's better

454
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:53,200
ways to word it, but is that the idea

455
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,590
that we're going for?

456
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,919
Then is it really balanced if there's

457
00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:04,880
more voting members than there is

458
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840
officers? If the officers are Waldorf

459
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,760
and the members aren't. I see what

460
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,750
Sarah's saying.

461
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320
» We can have more voting members than we

462
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,480
can have officers because it's at a

463
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,360
certain point we start to

464
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,789
>> right.

465
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:27,200
I don't think it's a problem. Now

466
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,440
>> with with a five to seven distinction,

467
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,360
there would only ever be one more voting

468
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:36,070
member than officers.

469
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,440
» I think we need to have something where

470
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,159
it flexes up the number of board members

471
00:21:40,159 --> 00:21:41,919
with the number of officers is really

472
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:52,149
the issue.

473
00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:54,080
» Yeah. And I I think your original idea

474
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
was correct. You said because you state

475
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,120
quorum is a minimum of three and of that

476
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:01,520
three you want to make sure that one is

477
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,760
an officer and one is a voting member.

478
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,039
That establishes your ratio. After that

479
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:08,559
>> I I think that it's important that you

480
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:11,360
have representation from both sides. But

481
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,679
whether that's one to four or

482
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:17,440
four to three I don't think it matters.

483
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,840
I just think that both your experience

484
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,559
on your Waldorf side of the officers

485
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:25,039
versus your new blood of your voting,

486
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,039
uh, I think that ratio is more important

487
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:29,280
versus the number just that

488
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,720
>> each side is present. Does that make

489
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,310
sense?

490
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,760
» Because I think that if you get in like,

491
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,600
oh, we have four officers here tonight,

492
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,520
only one voting member, I would say that

493
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,200
you can go ahead because that person is

494
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,840
going to voice. or hey, I I think that

495
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,360
it would be rare on the other side that

496
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:46,720
you're going to have four bony members

497
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,799
and only one officer show up. I just

498
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:50,880
don't think that that's realistic,

499
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,029
>> right?

500
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,720
Okay. Does that capture it?

501
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,520
>> Yeah.

502
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,760
>> Quum minimum being said include one of

503
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,960
each.

504
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,520
>> We we as officers should always try to

505
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000
be there if we can.

506
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,280
>> Correct.

507
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,559
>> Yes.

508
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,679
I mean, everyone should,

509
00:23:15,679 --> 00:23:16,880
>> but [clears throat] yes, definitely the

510
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,559
officers.

511
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,039
>> Oh, Suzanne is pointing out that we have

512
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:24,640
to have a minimum of four.

513
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,120
Um,

514
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,840
if we have to have a majority of the

515
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,520
board. So, if we have seven board

516
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,000
members, then the minimum is four to

517
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,590
have a majority.

518
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,120
» Okay.

519
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,200
If we operate Suzanne out of a board

520
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,880
member of five, then obviously three is

521
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,799
a majority. Correct.

522
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:48,400
>> That would be correct. Yeah.

523
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,320
>> Okay.

524
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Seven board members, we have to have

525
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:52,880
four.

526
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,200
>> Yes.

527
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,799
>> If there's seven board members

528
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:55,679
appointed.

529
00:23:55,679 --> 00:23:56,240
>> Okay.

530
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,280
>> Yes.

531
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,440
>> So, we need a majority present. And I

532
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,440
would say that

533
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
three fifths can be voting members if we

534
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,200
want to have a flexing size. Um, but the

535
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,640
rest should I be officers? I think I'm

536
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,600
just thinking as we bring people in, we

537
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,279
might have our board flex and we can

538
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,039
either go in and rewrite the bylaws then

539
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,480
and just call it a day today or we can

540
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,200
do it now. There's pros and cons to

541
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,440
both.

542
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520
>> How large are you right now? Excuse me.

543
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,720
I'm the newbie. Yep,

544
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,240
>> you're good. Um,

545
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,919
>> with losing Carrie, we are currently at

546
00:24:35,919 --> 00:24:39,430
six.

547
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,360
But I think when we started we had what?

548
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,000
Seven or 10.

549
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,240
>> No, you've got seven. All of you are

550
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,080
presing

551
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,880
me. [laughter]

552
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,960
>> Yes. Sorry, I forgot we approved you.

553
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,679
Sorry. My apologies.

554
00:24:51,679 --> 00:24:53,840
>> Okay. I'll just, you know, exit stage

555
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,382
right right now. I'm good. I'm out.

556
00:24:55,382 --> 00:24:57,830
[laughter]

557
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,200
» Denied.

558
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,932
>> It's been a long day. I apologize.

559
00:25:01,932 --> 00:25:02,240
[laughter]

560
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,039
>> No worries.

561
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,200
>> Okay. So I have the quorum is a minimum

562
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,880
of a simple majority. Three members for

563
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,880
five sitting members. Four to seven for

564
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,200
four for seven sitting members. Quorum

565
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,720
must include a minimum of one officer

566
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,320
and one voting member ratio.

567
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,080
>> Okay.

568
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,640
I like that.

569
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,512
Um now I think you guys can vote.

570
00:25:25,512 --> 00:25:27,909
[laughter]

571
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:32,080
Okay. So um

572
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,919
can I have someone make a motion to

573
00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:37,440
Just one minute, Carol. I need you to

574
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,640
move down so I can see the title on this

575
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,919
part of the

576
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:44,400
>> Oh, I'm putting it on the on the side

577
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,919
there.

578
00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:48,080
>> Oh, you are.

579
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,559
>> Okay.

580
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:50,960
>> Motion to vote that we vote to approve

581
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,320
the uh to the bylaws.

582
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,679
>> Okay. Amendment to the bylaws.

583
00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:00,720
Um I would add specifically

584
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,600
>> oh that a quorum is a minimum of a

585
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,919
simple majority three board members

586
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:08,240
sitting three board three board members

587
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,640

00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,960
include a minimum of one officer and one

589
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,640
voting member.

590
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:14,960
>> Okay

591
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,960
>> ratio

592
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:33,510
>> I think we can remove the word ratio.

593
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,360
Okay. So, can I have someone make the

594
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,240
motion to amend the bylaws concerning a

595
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,159
change to board configuration and

596
00:26:40,159 --> 00:26:42,159
quorum? Um,

597
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:43,840
>> I just made the motion. We just need to

598
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,360
have someone second it.

599
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,240
>> All right. And who has second it?

600
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,720
>> I'll second it. That's Alicia.

601
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,320
>> Thank you, Alicia. And voting the voting

602
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,080
um Susan McDonald votes in the

603
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,760
affirmative. I

604
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,440
>> Sarah.

605
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,880
>> Hi,

606
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,159
>> Marta.

607
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:02,960
>> Hi,

608
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,320
>> Christian.

609
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,520
>> Hi,

610
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,720
>> Thisa.

611
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:07,600
>> Hi,

612
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,799
>> and Alicia.

613
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:12,400
>> Hi.

614
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,360
>> And Tamara, she gets to vote.

615
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,039
>> Oh, I thought she had to wait till the

616
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:17,919
next

617
00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:22,080
>> Oh, I don't know. Nay, [laughter]

618
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,269
>> not

619
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:27,279
» you can you can hold me off. Let me just

620
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:30,880
observe this time. My name off

621
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200
>> once she's once she's voted as a member,

622
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
which she has been, she could vote.

623
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,279
>> Oh, I can. Suzanne's gonna keep us on

624
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:39,134
the straight and narrow here. So I

625
00:27:39,134 --> 00:27:49,750
[laughter] Okay, back in the game.

626
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,279
T A M R A, right?

627
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:53,039
>> Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

628
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:56,399
>> I have a question um that has to do with

629
00:27:56,399 --> 00:28:00,399
the um agenda. Is it a good time to

630
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:01,679
bring it now?

631
00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:03,840
>> Potentially. I don't know. Susan's in

632
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,240
charge. I need to stop in. [laughter]

633
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,799
It's um I'm I'm just asking if we've

634
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:12,399
dropped the study

635
00:28:12,399 --> 00:28:15,360
because I think that uh the study

636
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:19,200
actually gives us a higher umbrella and

637
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:26,159
then you know it lifts everyone to a sort of a principles of what we're

638
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:29,200
doing and then within that we can do

639
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,399
business. But to start with business, it

640
00:28:32,399 --> 00:28:36,880
takes you to the mundane too quickly.

641
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,440
>> So, I talked to Sarah about this and um

642
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,760
I don't know if given my

643
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,159
responsibilities and commitments and

644
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:48,480
obligations. I I don't know if I could

645
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,080
consistently guarantee that. Um but

646
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,720
maybe we could revisit that later. But

647
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,480
that's that's the sad conclusion I've

648
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
had to come to, unfortunately.

649
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,080
>> Mhm.

650
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,760
Sorry about that.

651
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,600
>> Well, we could do a run, you know, we

652
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,919
could take turns.

653
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:06,480
>> That's possible.

654
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,159
>> That's what I was thinking.

655
00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:08,870
>> That's a good idea.

656
00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:10,320
[cough and clears throat]

657
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,799
And we did already talk about using that book about uh freedom.

658
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:18,480
>> Yeah. The Betty Staley

659
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,000
>> Betty between form and freedom. Yeah.

660
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,840
>> Take turns doing this the study. That

661
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,269
would be great.

662
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:30,000
Well, it'd be great if people took um

663
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,080
you know chapters and summarized them

664
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,120
for us.

665
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,710
>> Yes, that's what I'm thinking too.

666
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,080
» I don't I don't know if um people agree

667
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,279
if we have to vote on that or

668
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:46,320
um

669
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,279
>> I think or was it a an agreement before?

670
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:51,360
>> I think that's just a structural issue.

671
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,200
if we want to change it to have a

672
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,520
rotation for that study. I like that.

673
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,120
>> I think that's just under Susan because

674
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,480
you're the board president, so you're

675
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,480
kind of the one that's in charge of

676
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,480
deciding how things run.

677
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,720
>> Yeah, I like that idea. So, let's move

678
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,799
forward with that. Is there someone who

679
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:10,880
would volunteer to take our study next

680
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,440
month?

681
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,080
The chapter one and and between form and

682
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,679
freedom.

683
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:19,760
>> Where do you find the book between form

684
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,480
and freedom? Oh, well, I had to order it

685
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,000
online.

686
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,480
Let's see.

687
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,840
>> Oh, okay.

688
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,039
>> Um, I could I could send out the chapter

689
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:30,720
in an email.

690
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,080
>> It look it looks like this.

691
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,360
>> It's by Betty Staley

692
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,760
and um she's just a amazing high school

693
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,789
teacher

694
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:49,760
and you know she's very well educated.

695
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:50,559
Well, I've got

696
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:52,880
>> I bought this from Amazon and it's got

697
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,279
highlights in it.

698
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,520
>> I can't volunteer next month, but I'll

699
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,000
take November's.

700
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
>> Got too much going on this month and

701
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,320
next month.

702
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,200
>> I start next month or or Thisa, would

703
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,520
you like to start our first rotation of

704
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,080
the study?

705
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:10,880
>> Sure.

706
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,880
>> Okay, let's have Thisa do that for next

707
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,279
month

708
00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:14,640
>> in October. Right.

709
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,480
>> In October. Yes.

710
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,200
>> Can I ask a question on that one? Um, I

711
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,000
just pulled it up on Amazon and they

712
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,480
have four different versions. One's the

713
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,200
one you held up that was um, published

714
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,480
in 1988, but they also have Between Form

715
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,559
and Freedom Being a Teenager: Holistic

716
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:34,399
Parenting and Child Health. Is that a

717
00:31:34,399 --> 00:31:36,320
different book or is that the same

718
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,279
thing?

719
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:39,440
>> I think so. This Well, this is called A

720
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,799
Practical Guide to the Teenage Years.

721
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:47,120
So, maybe they changed. Is it by Betty

722
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,080
Staley?

723
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,000
>> They are. It is by Betty Staley. I'm

724
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,320
wondering if it's been updated or if

725
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,039
it's the same.

726
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:54,000
>> Probably updated.

727
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,960
>> How many pages does yours have?

728
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,909
>> Mine has um

729
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:05,519
Let's see here.

730
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:07,039
Um

731
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:09,279
245.

732
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:13,190
>> It says 368.

733
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,399
Let's get the 245. [laughter]

734
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:16,799
>> Yeah,

735
00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:18,720
>> my only concern is that one's been out

736
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,679
of print for a while.

737
00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:24,240
>> Sorry. What did you say?

738
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,880
>> That one's saying it's out of print on

739
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,399
Amazon. I can look around for

740
00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:31,600
>> Oh, yes. It's probably out of print. So,

741
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,799
we should get the I I'll just use this

742
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:37,162
one because I'll be summarizing. Mhm.

743
00:32:37,162 --> 00:32:38,799
[clears throat]

744
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:42,480
>> Is it basically the same stuff in both?

745
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,480
>> I believe so. I can

746
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,559
>> Yeah, fundamentally.

747
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:50,480
>> I'm sure it is.

748
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,279
>> She also has one on here called Tending

749
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:54,720
the Spark: Lighting the Future for

750
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,159
Middle School students. We might want to

751
00:32:56,159 --> 00:32:57,760
consider in the future.

752
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,159
>> Oh, yeah. That's a good one, too. I

753
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:02,240
haven't read it, but I've heard it's

754
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,080
good. Could we have someone volunteer

755
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,320
maybe to take December so that we just

756
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,559
have until the end of the year finished?

757
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:10,080
Is there anyone who would volunteer to

758
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,720
take December's chapter 3?

759
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:21,269
>> They're not very long. The chapters

760
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,159
» I can do December.

761
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:27,600
>> Okay, that's great, Carol. And when you

762
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,799
go and look at the minutes from this,

763
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:33,600
um, there will be a link to the book as

764
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,120
well if you want to just find it easily

765
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,320
that way or you can go straight to

766
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,440
Amazon. But I thought I would provide a

767
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,080
link and they do have both Kindle and

768
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,120
paperback if that's of help.

769
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,310
>> Great.

770
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,640
» Okay. So, that's a Thank you, Thsa, for

771
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,240
bringing that up. I feel the same way

772
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,909
about that.

773
00:33:57,919 --> 00:34:00,159
Let's move on to business regarding a

774
00:34:00,159 --> 00:34:02,799
lease proposals and Carol if you could

775
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:05,039
share with us about that.

776
00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:08,240
>> Yes. So, um the building location has

777
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:10,639
been of paramount concern for our

778
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:14,240
families. Um the location in Provo we

779
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:20,000
were looking at um mostly because of um

780
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,320
it's a cheap rent

781
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,560
and and just being able to find a place.

782
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,119
But I did talk with the realtor for that

783
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:28,960
space and said, "Are there comparable

784
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,320
spaces farther north and closer to our

785
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,240
American Fork families?" And I found a

786
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:39,839
building in um American Fork. It's North

787
00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:44,000
Point Plaza. Um it's on the west side of

788
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,720
the highway and about 15 minutes south

789
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:49,119
of Mountain Sunrise Academy. Um so

790
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,879
really close for our feeder families. Um

791
00:34:52,879 --> 00:34:55,200
the availability in the building is the

792
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040
first floor and then the second floor.

793
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,839
I'm still trying to get um an electronic

794
00:34:59,839 --> 00:35:03,920
picture of the second floor. Um but

795
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,839
essentially the second floor includes

796
00:35:05,839 --> 00:35:08,320
this space but also the whole rest of

797
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,359
the building. So it's it's pretty big.

798
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:14,400
Um all this space around

799
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:23,280
this is um my proposed updates to the space. It's configured as an office

800
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,200
with um cubicle desks in it. Um it comes

801
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,680
with two conference rooms with tables

802
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,960
and chairs and it has a lot of um

803
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,200
cubicle kind of desks and other tables

804
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,880
and chairs and things. So furniture

805
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,839
would be included. Um we would tell them

806
00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:41,440
what furniture we want to keep, what

807
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,520
furniture we'd like for them to remove.

808
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,520
Um and that could further reduce some of

809
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,480
our facility costs. They also have

810
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,880
temporary wall configurations in the

811
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
building that it looks like they're

812
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,040
pretty used to changing the walls for

813
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,760
different tenants. Um, so this is my

814
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,800
proposed use of this space. Um, the pink

815
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,280
spaces would be um, administrative

816
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,520
spaces. There's a really beautiful

817
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,000
reception desk right inside the door.

818
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Um, the door has key badge um, lock

819
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,000
access for security. Um, and there's an

820
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,079
emergency exit out the back again with

821
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:20,800
key card access. So, it's pretty secure

822
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,839
for um, school safety and everybody

823
00:36:23,839 --> 00:36:25,280
would be coming in through this

824
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,480
reception area. Then, um, there's some

825
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,560
office spaces that can be used for

826
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,240
administrative offices and breakout

827
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:35,280
rooms. Um, there would need to be

828
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,960
additional restrooms. There's only three

829
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,599
stalls of men and women and it's outside

830
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:43,359
of this space, but I think we could have

831
00:36:43,359 --> 00:36:46,079
them um if especially if we're signing a

832
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,400
multi-year lease um they'd be willing to

833
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,000
make sure that it's accommodated for us.

834
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,079
So, this would be my proposed location

835
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,200
for new um for additional restroom

836
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,160
spaces for our students. There is a door

837
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,119
out the back here um for access there,

838
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:03,680
but um security might be an issue with

839
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,359
our students being unsupervised in that

840
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:10,480
hallway. Um then classroom spaces. Um so

841
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,880
here's a large conference room. Here's a

842
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,480
conference room that could be a smaller

843
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,359
classroom. Um breaking up this space.

844
00:37:17,359 --> 00:37:19,920
Right now there's a wall in here, but it

845
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,960
has formally been one big space and they

846
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,520
can easily remove the wall. They said,

847
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,359
um, I would use that wall actually in

848
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:28,880
the middle here between some classrooms

849
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,480
and then just open up this space. So,

850
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,800
these are currently just cubicles. Um,

851
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,760
and I would have this be an kind of a

852
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,520
larger open common space. Um, and then

853
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,599
regular hallway. There would be doors on

854
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:45,280
both sides of the classrooms. Um and so

855
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,240
this would give us two seventh grade

856
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,320
classrooms, two eighth grade classrooms,

857
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,440
and three classrooms for um the high

858
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,040
school based on the

859
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,839
um interest that we had last year with a

860
00:37:59,839 --> 00:38:01,680
difficulty filling up those high school

861
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,480
classes. Um if we can get our feeder

862
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,560
program to fill up those seventh and

863
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,240
eighth grade classes, then there would

864
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,800
be a 100 students there um and a few

865
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,800
students. The concern then is those

866
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,480
eighth grade students coming up into

867
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,720
ninth grade, we outgrow this pretty

868
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:22,720
quickly. Um, so I'm still talking to

869
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:25,680
them about potentially partitioning off

870
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,960
um the upstairs space to get a few more

871
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,440
classrooms to be used first and second

872
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,000
year and then slowly taking over the

873
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,800
upstairs space. So seeing if they would

874
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,040
be willing to let us expand in that

875
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,320
upstairs space as we expand our program.

876
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,079
Um, so right now, um, it's just,

877
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:48,560
um, let me increase that so you can read

878
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,720
some of my notes.

879
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:53,839
Um, you can see this, right?

880
00:38:53,839 --> 00:38:54,800
>> Yes.

881
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,760
>> Okay. I I shared the whole desktop and

882
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,200
not just that one screen, so it should

883
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,680
show anything that I pull up here. Um,

884
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,880
so this is 8,211 square ft and it's 1975

885
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,079
a square foot. Um, so the the yearly

886
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:13,520
rent would be 162,000. That's a third of

887
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000
what we were looking at with um taking

888
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,320
over the UKcast building in Provo. So

889
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,960
that's just kind of for everybody to um

890
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,359
compare those numbers. It'll be about 13

891
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:27,280
thou 13 and a half thousand a month. Um

892
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,280
and then those are some of the upgrades

893
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,359
that we would want to include. Um

894
00:39:31,359 --> 00:39:33,280
parking spaces needed would be 25

895
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,240
faculty and 45 student parking. that's

896
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:38,400
dictated by the city and American Fork

897
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,079
City says that we have to have three and

898
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:42,320
a half parking

899
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,640
um we have to have one parking space for

900
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,160
every three and a half students in the

901
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,720
high school. So this is based on 150

902
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,280
high school students. Um going ahead and

903
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,599
negotiating for those 70 spaces at the

904
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:56,400
outset gives us a few years for that

905
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,560
high school program to grow to 150

906
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,720
students before we need to request

907
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:04,480
additional parking spaces. Um, and I

908
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,240
haven't looked recently at the um

909
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:10,160
they they do have a ratio of of a

910
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,359
certain number of people and I don't

911
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:14,320
know how close that is um to that

912
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,000
parking space ratio. The building um

913
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,680
does have a a very large parking lot. Um

914
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,640
and this rent price includes everything

915
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,280
except internet which we contract

916
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,040
through UEN. Um but it has um custodial

917
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,200
services, it has groundskeeping

918
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,880
services, it has our water, our

919
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,640
electricity, um our plumbing, our trash,

920
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,520
all all of that is included in that rent

921
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,000
price.

922
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,320
Um so that's the negotiations. We have a backup of the location in Provo. It'll

923
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,119
be pretty easy to get into a space there

924
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,920
um if if this other building falls

925
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,760
through. Um, I'm working with the

926
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,680
realtor on a a proposal that's there's

927
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,280
no um obligation at this point. It's

928
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,760
just to tell the landlord, we're

929
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,839
interested in looking at this property.

930
00:41:11,839 --> 00:41:15,440
This is what we would be interested in

931
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,520
um using the space for. These are the

932
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,079
upgrades that we would be requesting. Um

933
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:21,680
and and just trying to negotiate what

934
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,240
that looks like. Um I would feel very

935
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:25,760
comfortable

936
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,400
talking to them about a five-year lease.

937
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,040
um that helps us get kind of fully

938
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,240
established. Um and the if we have a

939
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:38,079
longer lease with them, then it

940
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:40,240
encourages them to invest a little bit

941
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:42,240
more at the outset in changes to the

942
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:46,000
building um for us to take over. Um I

943
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,160
don't know how comfortable they would be

944
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,920
with us starting here in the first year

945
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,599
and potentially moving upstairs the

946
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:54,160
second year. Um, it all kind of depends

947
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,480
on those enrollment numbers and and

948
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,240
being able to open if we get those

949
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:01,119
minimum numbers. Um, questions,

950
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:03,440
comments.

951
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,760
Carol, this seems pretty ideal to me. I

952
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,240
really love the American Fork location.

953
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,160
How easy is it to get to from the

954
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,760
freeway and everything?

955
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,800
>> Really easy.

956
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,720
>> Very easy. Okay, that was that sounds

957
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,560
wonderful. Actually,

958
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,680
>> just those two.

959
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,520
Sorry. Oh, I was just going to say I

960
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,880
want to point out that Susan mentioned

961
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,160
that we need to have an earthquake

962
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,920
rating on this. So, we need to look into

963
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,960
that. Also, I was going to ask, is there

964
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,960
a elevator in this building? And okay,

965
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,440
just as long

966
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,440
>> there's an elevators are right here.

967
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,760
>> Okay, just as long

968
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,720
>> and Carol, are there are those two doors

969
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,800
before you come in?

970
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,440
>> Yes. So, here's the outside entrance and

971
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,960
here's a little vestibule and then you

972
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,280
come in and then you don't get into our

973
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,599
space. So, there's another um there's

974
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:53,920
other office spaces back here that our

975
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,560
other businesses are in. Um and but we

976
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,720
would be the very first door to come in

977
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:02,640
as a as a school. Um and so we do have

978
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,400
secure access here in this door. This

979
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,079
door is an emergency exit and has key

980
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:12,560
card access for faculty if they had an

981
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:13,920
office over here and wanted to sneak in

982
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,280
the back. But um this would be our main

983
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:18,880
entrance.

984
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,160
Okay. That everybody funnels through.

985
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,920
>> Who's currently in the other side of the

986
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,280
building?

987
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,480
>> I don't remember. Um

988
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,040
>> my my fear and I know it's probably not

989
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,359
an issue, but it's just my fear is that

990
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:37,119
we get a lease and then they have a

991
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:39,280
adult store of some kind or something

992
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,960
else that would be very objectual going

993
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,599
to the other side. No, it's a

994
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:45,440
professional business park and and so

995
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,480
it's like call centers and um like

996
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,440
there's not

997
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,640
>> marketing agencies, right, that I see on

998
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,000
It looks like there's two marketing

999
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,680
agencies in that building.

1000
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:56,880
>> Yeah.

1001
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,720
>> Engage and revive.

1002
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:01,200
>> Not not a ton of um there's not even a

1003
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,960
lot of like their clients probably

1004
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,480
coming in like there there's not

1005
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,000
customers coming in. It's not a retail

1006
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,200
space. Um it's an office space. So

1007
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,000
>> I have So my husband was in a building

1008
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,000
for a long time in Lehi though that was

1009
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,319
fully um

1010
00:44:16,319 --> 00:44:18,560
what's it called

1011
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,640
office space and because they were

1012
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,280
having a hard time leasing all over um

1013
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,200
they were bringing in small shops to

1014
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,280
fill the basement. So I don't think

1015
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,040
they're going to do that but I would

1016
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,839
just be curious.

1017
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:34,319
We can also include I mean if they're

1018
00:44:34,319 --> 00:44:36,480
going to be willing to lease to a school

1019
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,480
they they do know that there are certain

1020
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,079
provisions that come with that in order

1021
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:43,040
for us to stay and we're going to take a

1022
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,040
lot more space than most other

1023
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,839
businesses and so um it's actually a

1024
00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:50,400
pretty big contract for them I think um

1025
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,319
in part and we can also like include

1026
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:59,200
some of those provisions in the lease of that part of their responsibility as

1027
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,280
the landlord would be um to make sure

1028
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,560
that it is a safe space as a school. Um

1029
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,160
we can also include um so if we start in

1030
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:13,599
this first floor um we can include a

1031
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:15,520
first option for the second floor that

1032
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,040
if somebody comes in and is interested

1033
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,960
in the second floor we have the option

1034
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,560
to say no we'd rather move in there

1035
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:26,720
first. Um so there's things like that um that we can do. this realtor has

1036
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,560
he's been working with Treeside for

1037
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,000
quite a few years and um is familiar

1038
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,359
with working with schools and um is is

1039
00:45:35,359 --> 00:45:37,680
really good at helping with all of those

1040
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,599
details and making sure that it it does

1041
00:45:39,599 --> 00:45:41,760
work out in our favor.

1042
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,079
>> Um I know we've

1043
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:47,920
planned along a lot on having

1044
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,520
things down in Utah County and I

1045
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,800
understand that that's where our primary

1046
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,440
feeder school is. Um, I'm a little

1047
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,040
concerned though that the growth is

1048
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,800
mostly out west or um a little bit north

1049
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,040
of that just with housing developments.

1050
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,400
And considering that we've already

1051
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,640
struggled a little bit to get our

1052
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,200
enrollment, I'm wondering

1053
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,160
if we should shift our where we're

1054
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,520
looking for buildings or what the

1055
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,920
general opinion of that would be because

1056
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,280
I just want to make sure we hit our

1057
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,190
numbers.

1058
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,920
» Well, this is much better than Provo.

1059
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,160
We're getting closer to the area where

1060
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,960
the families would be willing to drive.

1061
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,839
I I don't know the distance maybe from

1062
00:46:29,839 --> 00:46:31,920
>> it's only 35 minutes from

1063
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,319
>> to American Fork there. Have you looked

1064
00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:36,160
at the distance from the general area of

1065
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,839
Saratoga Springs, Carol?

1066
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:39,839
>> Yeah, 15 minutes.

1067
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:42,160
>> See, I think that's Yeah, that's not bad

1068
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,200
at all.

1069
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,200
>> Um, it's 15 minutes rush hour. You're

1070
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,280
probably more like a half an hour.

1071
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,200
>> Um, it's 15 minutes. If you start school

1072
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,359
at 9, you're probably going to be

1073
00:46:51,359 --> 00:46:52,560
>> Oh, go ahead. Sorry.

1074
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,520
>> Oh, no. It's a um it's 15 minutes from

1075
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,000
Mountain Sunrise Academy.

1076
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000
>> So, it's only an additional 15 minutes

1077
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,920
from there. It's 10 minutes south of the

1078
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,560
American Front Runner station. Um it's

1079
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,440
only 35 minutes for the students. Um

1080
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,160
from Wasach campus to this campus is

1081
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,400
only 35 minutes. All of it, of course,

1082
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:18,319
depending on traffic, but but those are typical drive times. Um, Tamara, you

1083
00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:19,760
were saying something about the 9:00

1084
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,280
start time.

1085
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,240
>> So, if your 9:00 start time, I just I I

1086
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:25,760
have a brother that lives in Saratoga

1087
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,359
Springs. I just know in between 78 in

1088
00:47:29,359 --> 00:47:32,160
between 6:30 and 8:30, you probably want

1089
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,640
to double that drive time just to be

1090
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,680
safe until they keep expanding Pioneer

1091
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,839
Crossing and other feeder highways.

1092
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:44,390
>> Yep.

1093
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,520
Yeah, this is a better option.

1094
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,440
>> This would be much more acceptable to

1095
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,520
our families and we do have a lot of

1096
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,680
families that are in Lehi area. So, I

1097
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,040
think that too is another consideration.

1098
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,640
>> Um, and it's not even it's only um so it

1099
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,480
it's about halfway in between the

1100
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,760
Treeside and the Wasatch um families. So

1101
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,640
any of those people, it's about 30 35

1102
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,440
minutes um from those locations, which

1103
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,119
still isn't

1104
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:15,280
I mean it's far, but if this is your

1105
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,240
priority, it's not it's not an hour or

1106
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:18,960
two

1107
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,800
>> and it's not having to take the front

1108
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,680
runner to get out to somewhere.

1109
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:29,599
>> Yeah. Um okay, so um

1110
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:32,079
so that's the work that has happened so

1111
00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:35,599
far. Um I have

1112
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:38,880
I don't have it pulled up. Um so I've

1113
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:44,160
been working with the um realtor and we

1114
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,960
um we wanted board approval before we

1115
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,520
start putting anything official um

1116
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,920
towards the um building owners. Um and

1117
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,000
so I just wanted you know the go-ahad

1118
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,880
from the board. what parameters do you

1119
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,599
want to set in these preliminary

1120
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:05,280
negotiations? Um, this isn't formalizing

1121
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,040
any kind of lease. This is just saying,

1122
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,880
"Hey, we're interested. How interested

1123
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,440
would you be in negotiating a lease with

1124
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,720
us?" So, there's no formal obligation in

1125
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:17,359
this process at this time. Once we get

1126
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:20,079
to that point, then we bring in the

1127
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:21,920
legal counsel and we bring it to the

1128
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,240
board and we follow um all of the

1129
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:26,640
procedures. Um, so this is just kind of

1130
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,000
that negotiating to see how possible it

1131
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,440
is and what kinds of of um

1132
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,119
accommodations the

1133
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:40,800
building owners are would be willing to

1134
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,240
make for a school or if they're willing

1135
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,160
to lease to a school at all.

1136
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,920
>> Well, I think we should look into this.

1137
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,760
It's been the most promising thing in a

1138
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:58,309
long time that we've seen.

1139
00:49:58,319 --> 00:50:00,319
How does everyone else feel about the at

1140
00:50:00,319 --> 00:50:08,390
least the negotiation process?

1141
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,400
» It sounds great to me.

1142
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,640
>> Yeah.

1143
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,480
>> Sorry, Alicia. Did I cut you off?

1144
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,870
>> Sounds very feasible to me.

1145
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,359
So, I guess my question for the board is

1146
00:50:23,359 --> 00:50:25,839
um what parameters do you want me to are

1147
00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:27,520
there any specific parameters that you

1148
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:32,319
want me to work within um

1149
00:50:32,319 --> 00:50:35,680
in in negotiating this? If that question

1150
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,400
makes any kind of sense.

1151
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,880
Well, we could we could consider Sarah's

1152
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,280
idea that you know that well your idea

1153
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,720
that we have first say with the second

1154
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:50,079
you know with the second um floor which

1155
00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:52,319
we would eventually need and then maybe

1156
00:50:52,319 --> 00:50:57,839
that there be businesses that are

1157
00:50:57,839 --> 00:51:00,079
compatible with educational environment

1158
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:02,800
or something there. I don't know

1159
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,920
>> how long will they wait for us. Yeah,

1160
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:06,480
that seems

1161
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,480
>> it's currently empty. Has been empty for

1162
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:14,240
a while and doesn't seem like there's occasionally an offer, but like

1163
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:19,040
it's not it's not like a super hot thing

1164
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,240
like um the the realtor is is very

1165
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:24,720
comfortable and and this proposal that

1166
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:27,200
we're putting in now even says that we

1167
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,119
wouldn't start formal lease negotiations

1168
00:51:29,119 --> 00:51:31,920
until February. um so that we know for

1169
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,400
certain what our um how our marketing

1170
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,520
efforts are, our intent to enroll um

1171
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,599
success and if we're moving forward or

1172
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:43,920
not. So um that's another thing that's

1173
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,240
that we're putting into this is that in

1174
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:50,079
February we'll we'll move towards

1175
00:51:50,079 --> 00:51:51,599
um

1176
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,839
full lease negotiations and and whatnot.

1177
00:51:53,839 --> 00:51:55,599
If that makes sense.

1178
00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:58,160
>> That sounds good to me. Um,

1179
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,720
>> I would also request that we get first

1180
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,839
right of refusal on either the upstairs

1181
00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:08,800
or if the people h I can't talk tonight

1182
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,359
across the hall from us vacate

1183
00:52:11,359 --> 00:52:13,280
>> that we can get first right of refusal

1184
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,200
on them as well because I think ideally

1185
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,200
we would all be on the same floor.

1186
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,559
>> Although I could also see an argument

1187
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:20,640
for having high school on one floor and

1188
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,119
junior high on the other. Um, I think

1189
00:52:23,119 --> 00:52:26,480
ultimately the um the upstairs would be

1190
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,119
completely sufficient for both junior

1191
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:31,760
high and high school and and having them

1192
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,960
have their separate spaces. Um

1193
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,800
the for those of you that went with us

1194
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,920
to see Treeside, the upstairs is very

1195
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,119
similar to the space that Treeside had

1196
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:46,000
upstairs in that building. Um it's it's

1197
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,359
very comparable. Um but they have

1198
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:51,760
temporary wall configurations.

1199
00:52:51,760 --> 00:53:00,309
um that they would configure for us. So,

1200
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:02,079
could you move the slide up just a

1201
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:03,839
little bit so I can see the lease

1202
00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:05,920
negotiation

1203
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,440
uh vote?

1204
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,200
>> Okay.

1205
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,520
>> All right. Um, do I have someone that

1206
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,680
would make an that would make a motion

1207
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,040
to give Carol the authority on the lease

1208
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,000
negotiation to begin the um lease

1209
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,079
negotiation with this property?

1210
00:53:24,079 --> 00:53:26,319
>> I make a motion.

1211
00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:27,680
>> Sarah and I

1212
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,160
>> Hey, Sarah. And then do I have someone

1213
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,640
who would second the motion to give

1214
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:33,760
Carol the

1215
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,760
>> Okay, Marta.

1216
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,599
>> I think Thea did too. Either one.

1217
00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:42,870
>> Oh, Thisa. Okay.

1218
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,800
I'm gonna put thesisa down for

1219
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,400
calling it and Marta for seconding

1220
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,599
because I've called everything else

1221
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:48,160
tonight.

1222
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,559
>> And I think Alicia just gave her

1223
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:52,319
approval in the chat.

1224
00:53:52,319 --> 00:53:55,040
>> Alicia's given her approval on the on

1225
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,280
the negotiations

1226
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,000
and then I I am a yes vote on the

1227
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,880
negotiation approval. Sarah, how about

1228
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:03,520
you?

1229
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:04,640
>> Yes.

1230
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,240
>> And Marta?

1231
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:06,880
>> Yes.

1232
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,760
>> Christian?

1233
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Sorry.

1234
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,359
>> Yes. Okay. So, this motion is carried

1235
00:54:15,359 --> 00:54:22,150
also tonight to give Carol.

1236
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,720
» Yes. For

1237
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:26,480
>> Oh, and Tamara. That's right. Thank you

1238
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:26,960
for adding.

1239
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,319
>> Don't forget Tamara.

1240
00:54:28,319 --> 00:54:30,800
That's right.

1241
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,359
>> Um, if somebody is this a board that is

1242
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:42,950
by consensus or is it a majority?

1243
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,400
» Okay. Next item of business. Okay. Not

1244
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,440
me. [laughter] Yeah. Okay. Our next item

1245
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,920
of business then is we need to have talk

1246
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,760
about a marketing committee and what

1247
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,829
board members can do.

1248
00:54:57,839 --> 00:54:59,359
» Carol, do you have a

1249
00:54:59,359 --> 00:55:01,237
>> That's not me. That's not my item. start

1250
00:55:01,237 --> 00:55:04,240
[laughter] with

1251
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:06,160
>> Tamara

1252
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,520
>> and maybe Tamara.

1253
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,040
>> Um [laughter] I I would be happy to run

1254
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,720
an audit on your current marketing

1255
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:14,800
practices. I'm going to need I mean if

1256
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,119
that's something as a governance I'd be

1257
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:18,960
happy to take a look at it, see what's

1258
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,200
happening, see what kind of funnels are

1259
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,160
doing and come back and and kind of do a

1260
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,240
report. I do have a little bit of an

1261
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:28,240
idea of what's going on when Caroline

1262
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:31,440
and I sat down for breakfast, but if you

1263
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,960
really want me to get into the nuts and

1264
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:37,119
bolts, uh, I'd be happy to

1265
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:39,359
kind of understand

1266
00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:42,160
what's going on. Um,

1267
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,200
where

1268
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,960
>> of all our committees, this is the one

1269
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,880
we need to work with this next couple of

1270
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,680
months and really do some work with. So,

1271
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
if if Tamara, if you'd be willing to

1272
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,079
head the committee and give us a report

1273
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:56,720
on your on findings that you have about

1274
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:59,359
our marketing plan, you know, next

1275
00:55:59,359 --> 00:56:01,680
month, that would be great.

1276
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,680
>> And if you have ideas right now for

1277
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,680
things board members can do, that's

1278
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:10,390
another thing we we need to talk about.

1279
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,359
» Um, can I ask a question as to what

1280
00:56:13,359 --> 00:56:15,520
current members have been doing to try

1281
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,240
to recruit students to this? had we had

1282
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:21,520
a we had paid a company for marketing.

1283
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,000
So, we have not focused as a board on

1284
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,920
doing all of the marketing except

1285
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,160
talking with the people that we know and

1286
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,000
trying to get them to sign up. So, we

1287
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,240
really haven't had formal

1288
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:34,319
responsibilities as a board because

1289
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:37,359
between Carol and the marketing company,

1290
00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:39,920
we felt that that they were doing the

1291
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,680
right things. I really felt like they

1292
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,359
were, you know, successful in what they

1293
00:56:45,359 --> 00:56:48,799
were. Not successful, but they were

1294
00:56:48,799 --> 00:56:52,400
had the proper plan for for moving our

1295
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:53,280
marketing forward.

1296
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,280
>> That was Skola. That was Skola. Okay.

1297
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,359
And those sessions have ended. Is that

1298
00:56:57,359 --> 00:56:58,720
correct?

1299
00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:02,390
>> With Skola,

1300
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,440
too, like um what's Oh my gosh. I am

1301
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,640
also um

1302
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,000
can't remember her name right now. Oh my

1303
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,000
gosh, we did a little bit of Facebook

1304
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,440
outside of that, but it was pretty

1305
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,200
minimal.

1306
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,160
>> Chalice.

1307
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,720
Yes, thank you. [laughter]

1308
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,799
>> Yeah, Tamara, some of us don't live in

1309
00:57:22,799 --> 00:57:25,760
the same state, so I mean I put the word

1310
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,359
out in Colorado, you know. [laughter]

1311
00:57:29,359 --> 00:57:30,880
>> Yeah.

1312
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,680
Um,

1313
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,280
>> sorry, you can put another bullet point

1314
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,799
if you want. [laughter]

1315
00:57:36,799 --> 00:57:37,839
>> I just need a

1316
00:57:37,839 --> 00:57:41,119
>> I think it would be helpful if possible,

1317
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:43,839
Caroline, if or chair, if you could get

1318
00:57:43,839 --> 00:57:45,920
me the materials that were developed by

1319
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,319
Scola that should have such things as

1320
00:57:48,319 --> 00:57:51,920
student profiles, family profiles,

1321
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,680
>> um,

1322
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,599
so that those are well defined so that I

1323
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:57,680
I'm not restarting from scratch because

1324
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,119
I know that that work's already been

1325
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:02,640
done. Yeah. Um, and I think the only

1326
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,640
other thing that's Go ahead.

1327
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,040
>> Oh, there's um you'll be added now that

1328
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,480
you're officially on the board, you'll

1329
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,839
be we'll get you the um school email and

1330
00:58:11,839 --> 00:58:13,359
that comes with the board shared drive

1331
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:15,440
and I can give you access and the board

1332
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,079
has access to our marketing folder. Um,

1333
00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:19,760
and I can get you access to any of the

1334
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,599
other documents that you need as well.

1335
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:25,760
And then I I guess my only other

1336
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,680
question on on the marketing is have we

1337
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,000
uh defined a conversion rate meaning

1338
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,760
we're getting so many families

1339
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,640
interested such as like hey we had 20

1340
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,880
families interested or express interest

1341
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,799
in the last month but only one

1342
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:42,880
officially enrolled or said that they're

1343
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,799
committing to enrolling. We looked at

1344
00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:48,240
any of that data. Um yeah, we we I can

1345
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:48,880
get you back.

1346
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,520
>> Okay.

1347
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,720
>> Um

1348
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,799
>> so we realized part of our problem was

1349
00:58:54,799 --> 00:58:57,040
starting just with ninth and tth grade.

1350
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,000
So

1351
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,920
>> we had, you know, we had a lot of

1352
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:01,760
interest in the school, but people would

1353
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,359
say, "But I have a student that says

1354
00:59:03,359 --> 00:59:05,680
sixth grader or I have a student that's

1355
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,200
a eighth grader,

1356
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,760
>> I mean a a ninth grader or tenth

1357
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,440
grader." And anyway, it just seemed like

1358
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,040
we couldn't hit that spot of only ninth

1359
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,319
and tth graders um you know enough of

1360
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:20,240
them applying.

1361
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,280
So that's one want to expand the number

1362
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,760
of students that can apply seventh and

1363
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,760
eighth graders which you know that we've

1364
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,839
lost also our funnel from seventh and

1365
00:59:29,839 --> 00:59:32,079
eighth grade and at Mountain Sunrise

1366
00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:34,559
Academy that was one of the issues that

1367
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:36,960
we had because they dropped their

1368
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,319
seventh and eighth grade uh program. So

1369
00:59:40,319 --> 00:59:42,799
actually as far as the Waldorf community

1370
00:59:42,799 --> 00:59:45,760
is concerned, we are really missing a

1371
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,520
seventh and eighth grade program for

1372
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,440
students to move into. We're hoping that

1373
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,480
will help with enrollment the next time

1374
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,319
that we look I mean this next few

1375
00:59:54,319 --> 00:59:56,400
months.

1376
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,520
>> It's also very good to

1377
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,000
have um you know talks public talks

1378
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,200
about what Wald off is and what it does

1379
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:12,000
for students and you know the results of

1380
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,920
Waldorf from kindergarten through 12. uh

1381
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,599
I mean how what kind of people you know

1382
01:00:19,599 --> 01:00:25,520
graduate from there and so on and and talk about the the system that we

1383
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,960
will probably read in the Baley book you

1384
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,839
know the the sort of themes of each of

1385
01:00:31,839 --> 01:00:35,200
those four high school years I've done

1386
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,480
seventh and eighth twice and I I could I

1387
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,559
would love to talk to parents about

1388
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:41,839
seventh and eighth graders

1389
01:00:41,839 --> 01:00:44,319
>> I know they're lovely years aren't they?

1390
01:00:44,319 --> 01:00:46,000
I'm doing seventh grade this year.

1391
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,319
That's what I'm teaching at Honeycomb.

1392
01:00:48,319 --> 01:00:52,000
>> Yes. Yes. And you too, Susan.

1393
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,720
>> You know, I've fallen in love with them.

1394
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,319
>> I know. Me too. Um I also think that our

1395
01:00:58,319 --> 01:01:01,040
website needs to have

1396
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,200
uh we need we really need to have

1397
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,319
something that grabs people in when

1398
01:01:06,319 --> 01:01:07,839
they're looking up at the website that

1399
01:01:07,839 --> 01:01:09,520
gives them an interest in Waldorf

1400
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,920
education and also in the seventh and

1401
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,520
eighth grade program. I would like to

1402
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,480
work on with someone doing I don't know

1403
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,880
how to do the technological making of a

1404
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,280
website but I think our website wasn't

1405
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,920
strong enough in in describing what we

1406
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,920
do at our school

1407
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,359
>> and also the rigor also the rigor of

1408
01:01:29,359 --> 01:01:31,200
>> yes the rigor of it I think was

1409
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,480
>> of you know the academic rigor that is

1410
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,960
there in our schools.

1411
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,760
>> Have you seen the recent updates Susan

1412
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,240
that we we did this summer? No, I

1413
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,559
haven't seen the summer since this this

1414
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:46,160
summer. No.

1415
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:51,119
>> Um, so and we we have a lot of editing

1416
01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:54,640
capabilities with the website. So we

1417
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,640
>> What What is your platform, Caroline?

1418
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,880
>> Um, we use Edlio and so we have

1419
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,559
communication, we have a branded app

1420
01:02:00,559 --> 01:02:05,119
that people can download. Um, there's

1421
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:07,520
um a lot of a lot of things embedded in

1422
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,319
the Elio suite that we have school store

1423
01:02:10,319 --> 01:02:13,680
set up. we have forms and um we can put

1424
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,599
password protection on certain parts of

1425
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:17,760
the website so that students can log

1426
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,599
into their class and it's not public

1427
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:22,960
knowledge and um so there's a lot of of

1428
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,280
really good features that can be used on

1429
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,789
the website.

1430
01:02:28,799 --> 01:02:30,720
» Perfect. I I think the only other thing

1431
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,559
that could really help me as I'm moving

1432
01:02:32,559 --> 01:02:34,480
forward is I know that you have your

1433
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,119
founding families or your core families.

1434
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:39,040
Being able to talk to some of those or

1435
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,880
getting some contact information that'll

1436
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:45,839
help um when you [clears throat] put we can always go concepts, right? And

1437
01:02:45,839 --> 01:02:47,680
concepts are very powerful and

1438
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,640
theological or curriculum bases are very

1439
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,880
powerful. The reality is is at the end

1440
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,200
of the day we're all human. when we see

1441
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,119
human faces and human stories, that's

1442
01:02:57,119 --> 01:03:00,000
really what moves marketing. And so even

1443
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,680
though we have Facebook and we have

1444
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,839
websites and we have apps, it's really

1445
01:03:03,839 --> 01:03:05,440
the most powerful marketing tool that we

1446
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,240
have are those fam founding families.

1447
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,799
And uh they can reach out and influence

1448
01:03:10,799 --> 01:03:13,040
it. It's that parent talking to parent

1449
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,839
or that student talking to student that

1450
01:03:15,839 --> 01:03:18,559
uh I' I'd like to mobilize if possible.

1451
01:03:18,559 --> 01:03:20,480
I understand that we're small at this

1452
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,960
point, but uh really that's the web

1453
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,880
that's the strongest and measuring some

1454
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,799
of those efforts as well.

1455
01:03:26,799 --> 01:03:30,559
>> Um so maybe it's Go ahead.

1456
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:33,599
>> The issue there was always the location.

1457
01:03:33,599 --> 01:03:36,400
So I we kind of came to the conclusion

1458
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,280
there were two things we needed and one

1459
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,359
was you know our website to really

1460
01:03:41,359 --> 01:03:43,599
reflect what we had what we offer and

1461
01:03:43,599 --> 01:03:47,280
then also that our location was more

1462
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,200
conducive to parents wanting to send

1463
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,599
their child to our school. The location

1464
01:03:51,599 --> 01:03:53,599
we have to have a picture of it. We have

1465
01:03:53,599 --> 01:03:55,680
to have something so that we can you

1466
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,000
know advertise with a location because

1467
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,760
that just didn't work to advertise

1468
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,319
without a location the last time we

1469
01:04:02,319 --> 01:04:05,029
tried.

1470
01:04:05,039 --> 01:04:07,280
Hamra, I also wanted to mention that

1471
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,039
there was a lawsuit against a Waldorf

1472
01:04:11,039 --> 01:04:12,960
school in California cuz one of the

1473
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:17,039
parents said it was religious

1474
01:04:17,039 --> 01:04:20,000
and um they went to court and I've got

1475
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,359
the the whole legal brief and they it

1476
01:04:23,359 --> 01:04:26,160
was the judge found that it was not it

1477
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:30,720
was educational. It is not a church.

1478
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,079
So, um I wouldn't use it. Uh you used a

1479
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:36,640
word there with theological in it or

1480
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,000
something. [clears throat]

1481
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,680
>> Yeah, that was just me talking. I

1482
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:40,640
apologize.

1483
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,440
>> Yeah. Well, I just thought you should

1484
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,359
know too.

1485
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:47,119
>> Anthropos

1486
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:48,779
definitely important in the state, too.

1487
01:04:48,779 --> 01:04:48,880
[laughter]

1488
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,000
>> Yeah.

1489
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,799
>> Use the word anthroposophy and then it

1490
01:04:52,799 --> 01:04:55,839
kind of explain what that is. If someone

1491
01:04:55,839 --> 01:04:58,880
does a write up or a presentation, a

1492
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,079
video presentation,

1493
01:05:02,079 --> 01:05:03,920
>> I don't know that most parents would

1494
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,599
want to get into that, right?

1495
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:10,640
>> It's just that we it's the focus on the

1496
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:11,680
human being.

1497
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,079
>> Yeah.

1498
01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:13,839
>> You know, basically that's what

1499
01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:16,720
anthroposity is. So I just would just

1500
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,200
call it human centered education.

1501
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,960
>> Okay. I like that thesis. That's great.

1502
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,119
>> And I think we really need that. That is

1503
01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:27,280
something need to state everything we

1504
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,345
write. Yeah.

1505
01:05:31,355 --> 01:05:37,349
[sighs and gasps]

1506
01:05:37,359 --> 01:05:39,680
» Uh other than that I I can't really say

1507
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,400
that I can give expertise until I I like

1508
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,039
to understand a famous term that I use.

1509
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:47,599
I like to be a problem seeking a

1510
01:05:47,599 --> 01:05:49,359
solution, not a solution looking for a

1511
01:05:49,359 --> 01:05:53,359
problem. Um, so if you'll permit me to

1512
01:05:53,359 --> 01:05:55,599
kind of look, I can kind of go ahead.

1513
01:05:55,599 --> 01:05:57,920
>> We have you begin this committee uh

1514
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,880
research and maybe bring ideas for the

1515
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,960
board members to help with, you know,

1516
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,039
next month. Would that work?

1517
01:06:05,039 --> 01:06:07,440
>> Sure. Is is there anybody in particular

1518
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,319
on this board that has an interest in in

1519
01:06:10,319 --> 01:06:12,880
the marketing side?

1520
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:13,599
>> I had

1521
01:06:13,599 --> 01:06:15,119
>> Well, that was one of our problems

1522
01:06:15,119 --> 01:06:17,119
before

1523
01:06:17,119 --> 01:06:19,520
>> you're mutedly.

1524
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:20,880
Oh, I need

1525
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:24,720
>> What did you ask, Tamara?

1526
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,200
>> Uh, my question is is if there's any

1527
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,640
members on this board that are

1528
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,960
particularly wanting to be engaged

1529
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,680
heavily engaged in this process or have

1530
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,760
the capacity, I guess, is is a better

1531
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,280
question to [clears throat] really

1532
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,160
>> I would be I would be interested.

1533
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,200
I I do the marketing for Gondales on

1534
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:48,549
Facebook and Instagram.

1535
01:06:48,559 --> 01:06:50,640
You do a wonderful job with that, Lisa.

1536
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,231
It makes me want to come all the time.

1537
01:06:53,231 --> 01:06:54,720
[laughter]

1538
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,920
>> So, um, but I need to learn. I'm I mean,

1539
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,839
I'm learning myself. So,

1540
01:07:01,839 --> 01:07:03,680
>> I'd also be willing to help out if you

1541
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,359
need another hand. I talked to Carol

1542
01:07:05,359 --> 01:07:07,359
about potentially running some Facebook

1543
01:07:07,359 --> 01:07:10,000
ads, and if nothing else, I'd like some

1544
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,359
input before I do so.

1545
01:07:13,359 --> 01:07:15,359
>> Yes, definitely.

1546
01:07:15,359 --> 01:07:18,240
Yes, Sarah, you would be good.

1547
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,319
Information, Tamara

1548
01:07:20,319 --> 01:07:22,400
and Sarah are our two out ofstate people

1549
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,400
and then Christian is back and forth

1550
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,520
between Berkeley and and Utah. So that's

1551
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,400
and everyone else is in Utah.

1552
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:35,670
>> Unfort

1553
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,559
is in Colorado, Sarah's in Missouri,

1554
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:40,079
>> and Christian goes back and forth

1555
01:07:40,079 --> 01:07:43,359
between Oh, Arkansas. Sorry, [laughter]

1556
01:07:43,359 --> 01:07:49,200
>> I live in Colorado but right near the Utah border.

1557
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:50,160
>> Okay.

1558
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,559
>> Um, another thing is Tamara is that we

1559
01:07:52,559 --> 01:07:54,559
really did try to have community

1560
01:07:54,559 --> 01:07:56,799
meetings and we did not find them very

1561
01:07:56,799 --> 01:07:59,280
successful. We didn't have people coming

1562
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:00,160
to those.

1563
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:00,720
>> Oh yeah.

1564
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,119
>> Getting the word out forformational

1565
01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:06,960
nights was a challenge. Um, and and

1566
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,760
trying to get people to to come. So,

1567
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,680
>> but I guess Carol could go over those

1568
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,599
things with you during the month. This

1569
01:08:13,599 --> 01:08:14,480
month,

1570
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,839
>> we can also do it at the schools.

1571
01:08:17,839 --> 01:08:19,199
>> That would be better. And that's what

1572
01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:21,600
Carol's plan is. Yes.

1573
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,520
>> To work on going to the schools and

1574
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,199
meeting with students and parents there.

1575
01:08:27,199 --> 01:08:29,199
>> That if we ever get to my part of the

1576
01:08:29,199 --> 01:08:32,709
agenda. [laughter]

1577
01:08:32,719 --> 01:08:34,480
» Okay. [clears throat] Uh, thank you.

1578
01:08:34,480 --> 01:08:36,960
Yes, I I'll go ahead and spearhead this.

1579
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,560
We've probably spent way too much time

1580
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,359
on it anyway. I apologize for that. Um,

1581
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:43,520
but I will follow up and we'll we'll get

1582
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,000
this off the ground for sure.

1583
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,920
>> Okay, Carol, do you want to do you want

1584
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,319
to move forward with u pre-operational

1585
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:51,920
training?

1586
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,080
>> UAPs trainings. That's just a reminder.

1587
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,319
UAPs training is next Wednesday. Um, so

1588
01:08:58,319 --> 01:08:59,759
make sure that you guys are are

1589
01:08:59,759 --> 01:09:01,279
participating in that. Suzanne, do you

1590
01:09:01,279 --> 01:09:04,239
want to offer a little note about that

1591
01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:05,679
and the and its importance for our

1592
01:09:05,679 --> 01:09:07,359
board?

1593
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,679
>> Um, I just know that pre-operational

1594
01:09:09,679 --> 01:09:12,560
schools are expected um required to

1595
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,839
attend. Uh, and what we do is we just

1596
01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:18,719
try to make make the content really

1597
01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:22,080
applicable as you're getting the school

1598
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,640
up and running at at the very, you know,

1599
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,400
beginning before the school is actually

1600
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,359
running. uh it's you know everything and

1601
01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:31,920
I I'll look and see what the topic is

1602
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,319
this time it looks like it is finding

1603
01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:36,480
your families enrollment marketing for

1604
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:39,279
Utah. So that's going to be a perfect

1605
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:43,120
segue from uh Tamara's uh appointment on

1606
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,279
the board and the committee. So

1607
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:47,679
>> they've been very very good. They've

1608
01:09:47,679 --> 01:09:49,679
been so good.

1609
01:09:49,679 --> 01:09:52,239
>> Yeah. Shannon does a really good job

1610
01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:53,920
putting that together. What's that

1611
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,120
Tamara? I'll be there with bells on.

1612
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:58,080
Tell Shannon to

1613
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,360
>> I wish Colorado had something like that.

1614
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,199
>> People don't know how to be board

1615
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:05,280
members.

1616
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,719
>> I don't know. I really enjoyed the the

1617
01:10:08,719 --> 01:10:11,910
training.

1618
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:17,040
» Oops. Okay. Um board committee reports.

1619
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,520
Do we have any of those this month? I

1620
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,440
don't I'm not aware of those.

1621
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:23,840
>> Finance committee and the marketing

1622
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,000
outreach. we just discussed. So,

1623
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,159
>> okay. So, let's do we have Marta from

1624
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:31,990
the finance committee?

1625
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,880
» Um, I would just basically at this point

1626
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,920
being pre-operational just have Carol

1627
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,679
help me with that. I

1628
01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:44,239
What else do you want me to do, Carol? I

1629
01:10:44,239 --> 01:10:46,480
didn't get into the Zion's Bank. You

1630
01:10:46,480 --> 01:10:50,159
basically explained it to me.

1631
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:54,390
>> Um, so

1632
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,480
Uh yeah. So um I've been in

1633
01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:58,800
communication with Marta on the status

1634
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,679
of our um bank account. That's the um

1635
01:11:01,679 --> 01:11:04,400
total of our account right now. Um we

1636
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,800
get about $50 a month in interest off of

1637
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,320
that total. Um and there's about $285 a

1638
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,360
month in bank service fees um that are

1639
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,040
coming from it, but we're we're sitting

1640
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,920
pretty evenly um at that amount. And so

1641
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,120
we're holding on to that as the

1642
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:23,120
revolving loan money. Um as we prepare

1643
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,719
um so when we know that we are able to

1644
01:11:26,719 --> 01:11:30,239
move forward to open um we are working

1645
01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:34,239
on budgets for using that money um in

1646
01:11:34,239 --> 01:11:36,800
that interim time.

1647
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,120
>> Basically all we have available right

1648
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,719
now is the revolving loan.

1649
01:11:42,719 --> 01:11:45,280
Um, no more grant money unless we can

1650
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,400
find some.

1651
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,960
Um, we've missed out on the

1652
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,600
scholarship. Is that what it's called?

1653
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,520
>> The CS grant. Um,

1654
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:58,159
>> yeah.

1655
01:11:58,159 --> 01:12:00,480
But we are still eligible if we

1656
01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:03,360
want to apply again. I'm I'm pretty

1657
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:04,800
sure. So,

1658
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,600
>> yes, I think you would be. And that uh

1659
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,760
round three is going to be kick kicking

1660
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,560
off. I believe next week is our first uh

1661
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:17,840
meeting. So if you haven't already um

1662
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,080
expressed an interest in going, you may

1663
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,440
want to do that.

1664
01:12:21,440 --> 01:12:23,199
>> Okay.

1665
01:12:23,199 --> 01:12:24,960
Could we move forward to the

1666
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,760
administration the administration report

1667
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:29,600
for by Carol now?

1668
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:30,080
>> Okay.

1669
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,239
>> And give her the time

1670
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:35,600
>> and I will be as efficient as I can. Um,

1671
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,560
so just an an update on our process. We

1672
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,239
are presenting our proposal to the state

1673
01:12:40,239 --> 01:12:43,040
charter school board next Thursday,

1674
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,120
September 10th. They sent an email that

1675
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,360
I have forwarded to the board. They have

1676
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,440
aotted our time from 2:30 to from 2:45

1677
01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:54,000
to 3:45 and I think they asked that we

1678
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,679
have at least 30 minutes of wiggle room

1679
01:12:55,679 --> 01:12:59,600
on either side for the whole day. Um,

1680
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,800
as side note, Susan, your school, the

1681
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,920
your other thing is in that same time.

1682
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,400
Um, they're doing us in batches. We're

1683
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,320
in a batch with two other schools.

1684
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:11,840
>> I saw that. Yeah.

1685
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:17,199
>> I think it was Treesides expansion and a new um the Star Lotus School

1686
01:13:17,199 --> 01:13:20,480
opening um proposing to open. So, the

1687
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:22,320
three of us will present. We have five

1688
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,960
minutes to kind of just talk to the

1689
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,719
board of like here's who we are and our

1690
01:13:26,719 --> 01:13:30,159
proposal. They will ask us questions. Um

1691
01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:33,840
I've linked here the um instructions

1692
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,920
from the state charter school board on

1693
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:41,040
our instructions for that um proposal

1694
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,199
presentation. Um I think they've even

1695
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:45,199
streamlined it from 10 minutes to 5

1696
01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:47,520
minutes. So we have five minutes. These

1697
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,760
are a bunch of different ideas. It's

1698
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,679
linked in the minutes and I forwarded it

1699
01:13:51,679 --> 01:13:55,840
in the email. We will be at the USB

1700
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,920
offices in Salt Lake downtown on 500

1701
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:03,760
South, not at the Sandy location. Um

1702
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,360
that that is their typical offices. Um

1703
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,840
so there's that

1704
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,440
document. Um I've also linked our actual

1705
01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:16,640
proposal. Um the expectation is that all

1706
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,560
board members are in attendance. they do

1707
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,719
know that we have two outofstate board

1708
01:14:20,719 --> 01:14:23,360
members that won't be able to attend in

1709
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,840
person and so we're working with them um

1710
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,760
on what that means for us. Um but the

1711
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,880
expectation is that we have a 100% board

1712
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,199
participation in that. Um so here's our

1713
01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:37,199
proposal. The board members should read

1714
01:14:37,199 --> 01:14:40,719
through and be familiar with um the

1715
01:14:40,719 --> 01:14:43,199
updated proposal. This proposal asks for

1716
01:14:43,199 --> 01:14:45,040
a few different things than our previous

1717
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,360
proposal and we are asking for 7th

1718
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,480
through 12th grade. Um

1719
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:53,360
so we we do need to plan how we want to

1720
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,320
present ourselves. Um I think we can be

1721
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,679
pretty pretty straightforward with uh

1722
01:14:59,679 --> 01:15:01,440
they all know us. We've been working

1723
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:04,400
with them for two years at this point.

1724
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:09,199
Um, and this proposal is kind of a

1725
01:15:09,199 --> 01:15:11,199
formality to add our seventh and eighth

1726
01:15:11,199 --> 01:15:14,000
grade since we're pre since we're still

1727
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,679
pre-operational. We're kind of starting

1728
01:15:15,679 --> 01:15:18,000
the process over so that we can include

1729
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,679
those seventh and eighth grade um as the

1730
01:15:21,679 --> 01:15:24,719
approved process. Otherwise, the process

1731
01:15:24,719 --> 01:15:28,560
would be to be um to go to get enough

1732
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,320
students to open 9th through 12th, get

1733
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,080
that fully established and um be running

1734
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,080
sufficiently to support adding

1735
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:40,320
additional grades. Um

1736
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,600
let's see.

1737
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,400
If they approve our proposal, and I feel

1738
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,320
like the likelihood of them asking us to

1739
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,800
do the full application is pretty strong

1740
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,760
at this point. Um,

1741
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,840
then we should expect to go to the boot

1742
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,320
camp in Sandy at the state charter

1743
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,560
schoolboard offices on the 11th. That is

1744
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,280
from 8:30 in the morning to 5:00 p.m.

1745
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,719
Um, and they expect full board

1746
01:16:06,719 --> 01:16:10,080
attendance at that. Any questions about

1747
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:17,510
this process and what's expected of us?

1748
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,000
» No, I'll be there for both.

1749
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,830
>> I will too.

1750
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:25,440
Um,

1751
01:16:25,440 --> 01:16:28,719
okay. The other update that I have, so I

1752
01:16:28,719 --> 01:16:33,199
mean, I guess my question is, um,

1753
01:16:33,199 --> 01:16:35,840
do you just want me to write up a short

1754
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,000
introduction? Does everybody want to go

1755
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,840
through and introduce themselves? We

1756
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,239
only have five minutes. What do we want?

1757
01:16:42,239 --> 01:16:44,480
What does the board want this

1758
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:46,640
presentation to look like when we

1759
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,440
present who we are? Um, in

1760
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:53,040
>> when I was at when I was at my um

1761
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:58,560
practice session for the for this, they recommended we put our our

1762
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,800
qualifications and our information on a

1763
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,440
slide and but we not read it and that it

1764
01:17:03,440 --> 01:17:05,760
just be available for them and that so

1765
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,159
we don't take the time with that. So

1766
01:17:08,159 --> 01:17:09,760
that might be something to consider.

1767
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,199
Carol,

1768
01:17:11,199 --> 01:17:15,199
>> um, so I'll start um um I'll put in the

1769
01:17:15,199 --> 01:17:16,320
Google Drive. I'll share it with

1770
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,800
everybody a little presentation if if

1771
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:20,320
everybody wants to kind of collaborate

1772
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,960
on what the presentation looks like and

1773
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:31,840
I'll write a word track um and have that

1774
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,080
probably Monday or Tuesday to everybody

1775
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,400
so that we can look at it and read

1776
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,960
through. Um so just be checking your

1777
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,040
emails about

1778
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,280
how this is going to look and be ready

1779
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,400
to to join us. Um I have been talking to

1780
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,600
Alicia. She um I haven't gotten an

1781
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,960
update since they told us the time. Um

1782
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,159
but um she's going to try she can make

1783
01:17:56,159 --> 01:17:58,080
it on the 11th and and that's her

1784
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,320
priority to be there for the boot camp.

1785
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,280
Um and and I think she might be able to

1786
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,080
come on the 10th. But anyway, does

1787
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,239
anybody else have a conflict with either

1788
01:18:08,239 --> 01:18:10,719
of those dates

1789
01:18:10,719 --> 01:18:12,320
>> other than our out of state people?

1790
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:16,320
You're muted, Sarah. Oh gosh,

1791
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,480
>> I have classes during the time, but I'm

1792
01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:20,960
gonna skip them for all y'all

1793
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:21,679
>> because I

1794
01:18:21,679 --> 01:18:23,120
>> appreciate Thank you.

1795
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,960
>> They would understand. This is more

1796
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:25,760
important.

1797
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:26,560
>> Yeah.

1798
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,480
>> Do you know if the Zoom link would be

1799
01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:32,320
available during that time or

1800
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,744
>> Okay. Yes. I'm I'm pretty confident that

1801
01:18:34,744 --> 01:18:36,000
[clears throat] it would be available.

1802
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,040
And the board does usually like to um

1803
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,600
know who's there in attendance. So they

1804
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:44,159
might, you know, Carol, if you're

1805
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:46,560
presenting, you might introduce our

1806
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:52,320
board members here today are so and so and so and then online we have so

1807
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:57,520
and so and so and so just so that the charter board is aware of who is in

1808
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,600
attendance and they know where they are

1809
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,440
in attendance.

1810
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:02,000
Um,

1811
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,800
>> oh, so we could zoom in

1812
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,360
>> uh to the board meeting on the 10th.

1813
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,080
Yes. Um, I don't know that the 11th

1814
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:13,199
training will have a a I I don't know

1815
01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:13,920
that that

1816
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,400
>> in the past it has not had a Zoom link.

1817
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,080
It's just been in person

1818
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:18,880
>> in person.

1819
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,760
>> That's what I thought.

1820
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,440
>> Um, the email today from the state

1821
01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:26,880
offices did say that they expected

1822
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,800
inerson attendance and that Zoom links

1823
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:33,360
would not be given. Um, so I um read the

1824
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,080
email that I forwarded to everybody.

1825
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:37,360
Tamara, I'll make sure that that gets

1826
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,239
forwarded to you also. Um,

1827
01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:42,000
>> maybe that's different because they are

1828
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,640
meeting at the USB building. So that

1829
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:45,840
might be

1830
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,800
>> one thing to consider. Yeah. Um but they

1831
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,800
do know that we have outofstate people

1832
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:55,760
and and so we we just need to um if we

1833
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,040
need to be very clear with them on um

1834
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:04,000
who is impacted by that and um so I'll

1835
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:05,920
continue talking talking with them about

1836
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,440
our situation.

1837
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:09,440
>> I would just like to support if possible

1838
01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:10,880
but I also understand there may be

1839
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,120
limitations involved.

1840
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,000
>> Yeah. uh that I've been to that building

1841
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:20,159
for quite a bunch of state school board.

1842
01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:22,159
>> So I mean it does have the capacity to

1843
01:20:22,159 --> 01:20:25,040
host multiple people and I've had school

1844
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:27,199
board members out of St. George or out

1845
01:20:27,199 --> 01:20:31,199
of Cedar City join and vote via Zoom. So

1846
01:20:31,199 --> 01:20:32,880
I'd be highly surprised if they couldn't

1847
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:34,000
accommodate.

1848
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:34,480
>> Yeah.

1849
01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:35,600
>> Otherwise

1850
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,280
>> it was it was kind of weird in the

1851
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,000
email. So but but I can clarify that

1852
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:41,760
with them also. So, I've been they know

1853
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,199
that our situation and that we have two

1854
01:20:43,199 --> 01:20:48,560
people out of state. Um, okay. So, be um

1855
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,320
just check your emails a lot. I'll try

1856
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,719
and also send a text when emails go out.

1857
01:20:52,719 --> 01:20:55,679
Um, and and we'll have our plan for our

1858
01:20:55,679 --> 01:20:58,080
presentation. Um, our intent to enroll

1859
01:20:58,080 --> 01:20:59,840
form, I'll actually show you what it

1860
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,840
looks like.

1861
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,760
Uh, we have six responses, which is

1862
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,960
really great. This has gone out to our

1863
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:08,880
um it's linked on our website and it's

1864
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:10,400
gone to our feeder schools with a

1865
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,760
request to send it to them. Um and I'll

1866
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:14,960
talk a little bit more of that in a

1867
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,480
second. It also went out um Scola helped

1868
01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:20,400
us with the last campaign to get this to

1869
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,320
all of our families who are on our

1870
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:26,719
previous interest list. Um and and so it

1871
01:21:26,719 --> 01:21:33,280
just kind of lets them know where our process is. it has um option for

1872
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,239
them to tell us which group they are a

1873
01:21:36,239 --> 01:21:38,400
part of um because they're they're

1874
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,159
slightly different things that each

1875
01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:42,719
group needs to know. Um so Mountain

1876
01:21:42,719 --> 01:21:45,199
Sunrise Academy as our main feeder

1877
01:21:45,199 --> 01:21:47,920
school for seventh and eighth grade um

1878
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,440
some information and kind of the

1879
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:51,600
criticalness of their participation in

1880
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,600
this. Um then we have and then it asks

1881
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:56,880
them you know for their students

1882
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,040
information and and how likely they will

1883
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,679
be. Um Treeside and Wasatch are

1884
01:22:01,679 --> 01:22:03,520
concerned if we're offering seventh and

1885
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:04,960
eighth grade. Treeide is actually

1886
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,159
currently um applying for an expansion

1887
01:22:08,159 --> 01:22:12,000
and um for to include seventh and eighth

1888
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,560
grade. So encouraging their families to

1889
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:15,920
come to us for seventh and eighth grade

1890
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,560
is a conflict of interest. Um, so I've

1891
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,719
been talking with Treeside and Wasatch

1892
01:22:20,719 --> 01:22:23,600
both um about being very clear that we

1893
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,600
can have an articulation agreement with

1894
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,440
them for eighth grade students coming

1895
01:22:27,440 --> 01:22:28,880
into 9th grade, that they can help us

1896
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:32,880
fill up our our 9th grade cohorts um and

1897
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,320
that we are not um in conflict with them

1898
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,800
for seventh and eighth grade. Um, so

1899
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:43,199
that I actually have a a separate um,

1900
01:22:43,199 --> 01:22:45,120
form that I've sent to those schools

1901
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,520
specifically that's very clear eighth

1902
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,080
grade students going into high school.

1903
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,639
Um, that that clearly states we're not

1904
01:22:52,639 --> 01:22:54,239
in conflict for your seventh and eighth

1905
01:22:54,239 --> 01:22:58,480
graders and um, here's our location and

1906
01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:00,560
um, let us know if you're interested in

1907
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,480
applying. So um, that's how we've

1908
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:06,800
accommodated them. the same with Wasatch

1909
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,960
what their articulation agreement means.

1910
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,719
I've kept it in our main one because

1911
01:23:10,719 --> 01:23:12,400
this is linked on our website. So if any

1912
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,440
of those families come to this form from

1913
01:23:15,440 --> 01:23:17,440
our website um so that they're not

1914
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:20,000
confused by seventh and eighth grade. Um

1915
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,040
and Tamara, you are welcome to give

1916
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,199
feedback on the communication and the

1917
01:23:25,199 --> 01:23:27,679
format and and we can still edit this um

1918
01:23:27,679 --> 01:23:30,480
for usability for our families. But um

1919
01:23:30,480 --> 01:23:33,120
so if they say that I'm from Wasach,

1920
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:35,520
they do get the specific wording to you

1921
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:55,590
can attly

1922
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,360
is your student to enroll. So, if you're

1923
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,440
a current fourth grader, how likely are

1924
01:23:59,440 --> 01:24:02,000
you to enroll in seventh grade um for

1925
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,440
our um

1926
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:08,639
our non-9th gradeulation school? So, for

1927
01:24:08,639 --> 01:24:11,120
Mountain Sunrise and and other groups,

1928
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,360
um how likely are you to enroll? Once

1929
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,199
you enroll, how likely are you to stay

1930
01:24:15,199 --> 01:24:17,760
through 12th grade? And how many

1931
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,440
students do you have interested in

1932
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:20,960
enrolling? And so, that's kind of the

1933
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,199
same kind of question. It's really long

1934
01:24:23,199 --> 01:24:30,310
on our back end, but um it

1935
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,400
um it's really

1936
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:33,600
>> responsive.

1937
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:34,960
>> Yeah.

1938
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,639
>> So they they almost see what they need

1939
01:24:36,639 --> 01:24:37,520
to see.

1940
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,360
>> Yeah. So that the board can see what

1941
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,199
they need to see. The school board,

1942
01:24:41,199 --> 01:24:42,960
state school board.

1943
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,719
>> Okay. I have a question about uh telling

1944
01:24:46,719 --> 01:24:49,280
people that you we can't accept their

1945
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,880
application

1946
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,440
from Wars for seventh and eighth grade

1947
01:24:53,440 --> 01:24:54,960
because

1948
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,239
there are students who may be having a

1949
01:24:58,239 --> 01:25:00,800
hard time and need an alternative

1950
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,280
>> but we cannot market to them if they

1951
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:03,679
want

1952
01:25:03,679 --> 01:25:05,360
>> we can't market right

1953
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,280
>> right and and we have to clearly state

1954
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,199
we are not in conflict with your seventh

1955
01:25:09,199 --> 01:25:10,880
and eighth grade program please I would

1956
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,159
actually rather them stay through that

1957
01:25:14,159 --> 01:25:16,800
arc in one school instead of switching

1958
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:21,360
if they have it available. Um but so um

1959
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,600
I mean if the family chooses, well, we

1960
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,199
would rather live in Utah County and we

1961
01:25:25,199 --> 01:25:26,320
plan on going there for high school.

1962
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,880
We're going to move early. Um they have

1963
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,639
to go through our regular lottery and

1964
01:25:30,639 --> 01:25:32,080
enrollment process. They don't get the

1965
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,120
shortcut and um that's that's on the

1966
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:37,600
family. But as far as schooltoschool and

1967
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,199
them putting their marketing things out

1968
01:25:39,199 --> 01:25:41,040
there, we have to be very clear that

1969
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,639
we're not in competition for your

1970
01:25:42,639 --> 01:25:43,600
students.

1971
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,920
>> Um, and we have a streamlined path for

1972
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:47,920
you to enter 9th grade. We were

1973
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,400
originally founded to accept their

1974
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,159
eighth grade students coming into nth

1975
01:25:52,159 --> 01:25:53,280
grade.

1976
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,400
>> The question would be uh why would you

1977
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,800
want to change schools when you're

1978
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,280
already at war and that you have a

1979
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,600
possibility of eighth grade there,

1980
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,360
>> right? to the family.

1981
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,440
>> Eighth graders though could could come

1982
01:26:07,440 --> 01:26:09,280
to the ninth grade then.

1983
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,920
>> Yes. So, and we already have a board

1984
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,639
approved articulation agreement with um

1985
01:26:14,639 --> 01:26:16,800
Wasatch Academy that their ninth graders

1986
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,800
can transfer to us under the atculation

1987
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,440
agreement. Um so, they talk to their

1988
01:26:21,440 --> 01:26:23,440
registar, their registar says they want

1989
01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:25,360
to transfer. They have an earlier

1990
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,080
deadline and and a and a smaller number

1991
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,800
of seats to fill. So, it's a little bit

1992
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,199
more competitive to take that route. But

1993
01:26:33,199 --> 01:26:34,880
if they're interested in that, then they

1994
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:36,639
get a streamlined process and a

1995
01:26:36,639 --> 01:26:38,639
guaranteed seat. Um, and that just

1996
01:26:38,639 --> 01:26:41,920
benefits both schools in in that feeder

1997
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:45,280
program. Um, once Treeside Academy goes

1998
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:46,560
all the way through 8th grade because

1999
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:47,920
they'll add seventh grade and then

2000
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,199
eighth grade. Um, they will also have an

2001
01:26:51,199 --> 01:26:52,960
articulation agreement with them to come

2002
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,520
into seventh grade. um if we get

2003
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:57,040
approved for seventh and eighth grade,

2004
01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:58,719
since Mountain Center's Academy goes

2005
01:26:58,719 --> 01:27:01,440
through sixth grade, we can um form an

2006
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:03,840
articulation agreement with them to

2007
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,639
accept their sixth grade students. So

2008
01:27:06,639 --> 01:27:08,960
now, Carol, I have a question about my

2009
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,159
students. Um even if they can't come

2010
01:27:12,159 --> 01:27:15,199
next year, uh could they would you still

2011
01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:16,960
want them to fill out this form about

2012
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:18,800
coming in their in their ninth grade

2013
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,320
year? Okay. So, I will

2014
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,320
>> the honeycomb cottage families.

2015
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,840
>> Yes. can if if I mean I whatever their

2016
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:32,880
situation is with honeycomb like we if they're um anybody else they they can

2017
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,360
apply anytime they're ready right so a

2018
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,199
certain number of our seats in seventh

2019
01:27:37,199 --> 01:27:39,520
grade eighth grade nth grade 10th grade

2020
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,159
um will be open lottery but does that

2021
01:27:42,159 --> 01:27:44,560
help us this year with our in with the

2022
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,320
interest for the the state school board

2023
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:47,360
to see

2024
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:48,639
>> because that's what we had a problem

2025
01:27:48,639 --> 01:27:50,400
with before we had a lot of people

2026
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,560
signing up with interest but they may

2027
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,639
have a fourth grader or a fifth grader

2028
01:27:54,639 --> 01:27:56,560
that they weren't ready to come at all

2029
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,360
when we actually needed the enrollment.

2030
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,120
So, is it still

2031
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:01,920
>> Yes. So,

2032
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:03,760
>> best for them to sign up this year for

2033
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:04,320
night.

2034
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,159
>> So, we've got students with from

2035
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:08,080
non-waldorf places. We also have

2036
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,639
students from homeschool. Um, let us

2037
01:28:10,639 --> 01:28:14,239
know. Um I I don't I think the grades

2038
01:28:14,239 --> 01:28:15,199
for that one is

2039
01:28:15,199 --> 01:28:18,159
>> for instance I know Quincy's parents

2040
01:28:18,159 --> 01:28:20,080
they want to have him come to the ninth

2041
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,639
grade but it won't for another year

2042
01:28:22,639 --> 01:28:23,199
after

2043
01:28:23,199 --> 01:28:25,120
>> so for the homeschool group I say what

2044
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:26,719
grade is your student in fourth grade

2045
01:28:26,719 --> 01:28:28,400
fifth grade sixth grade up through 10th

2046
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:29,440
grade right

2047
01:28:29,440 --> 01:28:29,760
>> okay

2048
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,480
>> and then once they go there they if

2049
01:28:32,480 --> 01:28:34,080
they're a fourth grader they go to the

2050
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,440
fourth grade section if they're a fifth

2051
01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:36,560
grader they go to the fifth grade

2052
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,239
section and they say how likely are you

2053
01:28:38,239 --> 01:28:40,080
to enroll in seventh grade how likely

2054
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,159
are you to enroll in eighth grade and

2055
01:28:42,159 --> 01:28:44,239
ninth grade and how likely are you to

2056
01:28:44,239 --> 01:28:47,120
stay? So these are the

2057
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:48,719
>> So the board would accept that if

2058
01:28:48,719 --> 01:28:50,880
they're giving a pro a projected

2059
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,679
enrollment that's not for next year.

2060
01:28:53,679 --> 01:28:54,159
Exactly.

2061
01:28:54,159 --> 01:28:56,719
>> The way that this in this is an intent

2062
01:28:56,719 --> 01:28:59,360
to enroll. This is like I will be

2063
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,080
enrolling. This will be the first step

2064
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,600
in the application process. So, right

2065
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,520
now we don't know if we're going to have

2066
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,560
enough students to open and and our we

2067
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,880
decided as a board last month that if we

2068
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,920
get 150 students by December, I would

2069
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,320
say by December 10th at the state

2070
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,800
charter school board December meeting,

2071
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:24,400
um if we have 150 students by then, we

2072
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,760
know that we're going to get enough

2073
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,600
students able to come that we can move

2074
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:29,679
forward to open and we move forward with

2075
01:29:29,679 --> 01:29:31,920
the process to open. If we are still

2076
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:35,760
sitting at six families in December, we

2077
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,560
obviously don't continue on the path and

2078
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,600
we um have discussions on on closing

2079
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,480
down permanently um because obviously

2080
01:29:44,480 --> 01:29:46,320
there's not enough interest if we give

2081
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:48,159
our best effort and and we still sit at

2082
01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:49,440
six families, which is kind of what

2083
01:29:49,440 --> 01:29:53,040
happened last year. Um so that's so but

2084
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,360
if we get that 150 students in this

2085
01:29:55,360 --> 01:30:01,199
intent to enroll um then in December and

2086
01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:05,280
January that moves to you've told us

2087
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,280
that you are going to enroll here's your

2088
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,040
registration paperwork and we move

2089
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:12,400
directly into register and aspire give

2090
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:17,590
us your registration documents. Um

2091
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:19,199
I because I'm also kind of assuming

2092
01:30:19,199 --> 01:30:20,719
we're not going to hit our maximum

2093
01:30:20,719 --> 01:30:24,159
numbers for a lottery. If we do hit our

2094
01:30:24,159 --> 01:30:34,880
maximum numbers for a lottery um then we do that. But um but this is that first part um in going through.

2095
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,199
Does that kind of make sense for

2096
01:30:37,199 --> 01:30:39,360
everybody on that process? Um so it's

2097
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,360
important for this to go out to as many

2098
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,159
people as as possible. We This is our

2099
01:30:44,159 --> 01:30:48,480
one place for all of all of the people.

2100
01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:51,120
This has gone out to everybody that was

2101
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:53,040
previously on our list that we've ever

2102
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,480
had contact with. Um and and I'm working

2103
01:30:56,480 --> 01:30:58,000
with the feeder schools to make sure

2104
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,159
that this gets disseminated in a way

2105
01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:04,790
that they are comfortable with.

2106
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,560
Questions, comments, concerns on intent

2107
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,120
to enroll.

2108
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:12,080
Carol, are you still going to the are

2109
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,800
you still going to do the the stuff that

2110
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,719
goes on this fall at the junior high

2111
01:31:16,719 --> 01:31:17,760
schools?

2112
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:19,440
>> That's my next item.

2113
01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,440
>> High school preview night.

2114
01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:24,159
>> There are 13 junior high schools. I'm

2115
01:31:24,159 --> 01:31:26,080
collecting the contact information. I've

2116
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,000
started contacting them. I haven't heard

2117
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,880
back with from anybody. Um we went to

2118
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,719
Wasach last year and I know that there's

2119
01:31:32,719 --> 01:31:34,400
others. So going to their high school

2120
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,040
preview nights is um something that

2121
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:38,560
we're we're working on. As soon as I

2122
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:39,840
have those dates, I'll be sharing it

2123
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,120
with the board. It'd be great to have a

2124
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,760
board member. I also have our potential

2125
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,000
faculty members that have been invited.

2126
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,920
Um they will also get the dates if they

2127
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,000
would like to come as future social

2128
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,080
studies teacher, um future English

2129
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:53,920
teacher. They can they can come and meet

2130
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:55,840
those families at those events as well.

2131
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:58,000
Um we also are already scheduled with

2132
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,000
the university place. They have an event

2133
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,639
in October. We have a booth to set up

2134
01:32:02,639 --> 01:32:05,360
and disseminate flyers. Um the idea is

2135
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:08,960
to have devices there to um put people

2136
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:10,719
on the intent to enroll as we talk to

2137
01:32:10,719 --> 01:32:12,800
them um immediately and collect their

2138
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,280
information. Um

2139
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,440
and I think at the back to school not I

2140
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:19,360
mean at the not back to school but the

2141
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,679
um high school preview nights we might

2142
01:32:21,679 --> 01:32:24,239
also be able to um have that interest

2143
01:32:24,239 --> 01:32:26,000
form ready for them to if you're

2144
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,360
interested in coming put your name on

2145
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,520
the list um with intent to enroll. So,

2146
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,280
the plan is to have devices at those

2147
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,760
locations. Um, probably three devices.

2148
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:35,920
We have um two school computers that we

2149
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,159
can set up um for people to fill out the

2150
01:32:38,159 --> 01:32:40,320
form right there um if they're

2151
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:41,920
interested.

2152
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:47,040
Uh last couple any questions on on that?

2153
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,679
>> If you need someone to go with you

2154
01:32:49,679 --> 01:32:52,239
>> for either one of those, let me know. Um

2155
01:32:52,239 --> 01:32:54,239
yeah, I will send out the dates and the

2156
01:32:54,239 --> 01:32:57,679
information on those um

2157
01:32:57,679 --> 01:33:00,639
so that people can help out. Then um

2158
01:33:00,639 --> 01:33:02,880
today we got an email from the Alliance

2159
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:04,400
for Public Waldorf information uh

2160
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,480
education. I've sent that to everyone on

2161
01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:10,880
the board. Tamara, I'll make sure that gets forwarded to you too. Um about

2162
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,880
our self-study to achieve full

2163
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,239
membership. Um it's a two to threeyear

2164
01:33:16,239 --> 01:33:19,120
process to to do that. um there's no

2165
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,719
immediate action because I think we need

2166
01:33:20,719 --> 01:33:23,600
to be up and running in order for that.

2167
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:27,520
But it's good for you to read through um

2168
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,280
those documents and be familiar with

2169
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,719
that process my plan. So there's really

2170
01:33:32,719 --> 01:33:35,600
there's um

2171
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,920
three different

2172
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,120
um kind of evaluation processes that we

2173
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:44,080
will be working under as Azure fields.

2174
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:46,880
Um, we have Cognia accreditation so that

2175
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,400
our high schoolers can have an

2176
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,159
accredited transcript that is accepted

2177
01:33:50,159 --> 01:33:52,719
by colleges and universities. We have

2178
01:33:52,719 --> 01:33:54,239
our membership with the Alliance for

2179
01:33:54,239 --> 01:33:56,320
Public Waldorf education so that we can

2180
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,199
use the trademarks of public Waldorf.

2181
01:33:59,199 --> 01:34:01,920
Um, right now we must use Waldorf

2182
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,159
Inspired every time that we talk about

2183
01:34:04,159 --> 01:34:07,440
ourselves um because we're not fully

2184
01:34:07,440 --> 01:34:09,920
approved um through that self-review

2185
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:14,480
study. We also are um responsible to our

2186
01:34:14,480 --> 01:34:16,080
authorizer at the state charter school

2187
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,000
board and they have their review process

2188
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:19,840
that we will have to do to maintain our

2189
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:22,800
charter. Um and then we have uh school

2190
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:27,600
land trust um is our um there's

2191
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,440
dedicated funds through the land trust

2192
01:34:29,440 --> 01:34:33,199
program that our land trust committee um

2193
01:34:33,199 --> 01:34:35,679
works on evaluating our school

2194
01:34:35,679 --> 01:34:39,040
improvement and putting together a plan

2195
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:43,199
um to use those funds. my plan knowing

2196
01:34:43,199 --> 01:34:46,239
that really we have like four different

2197
01:34:46,239 --> 01:34:48,639
um evaluation processes that need to

2198
01:34:48,639 --> 01:34:52,320
happen for Azure fields um my goal is to

2199
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:55,040
wrap those into one as much as possible.

2200
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,120
Um so using that land trust community

2201
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,080
council as the core group to facilitate

2202
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,520
all of our accreditation processes. Um

2203
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,560
there are some legal requirements to who

2204
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,239
has to be on that committee for it to

2205
01:35:08,239 --> 01:35:09,920
count as our land trust community

2206
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:14,159
council. Um, but with the we also have

2207
01:35:14,159 --> 01:35:17,679
to have parent involvement for our um

2208
01:35:17,679 --> 01:35:21,040
alliance and I'm pretty sure Cogna um

2209
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,360
wouldn't be upset if we're including

2210
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,480
parents in in those um discussions. Um,

2211
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:29,840
so that's my goal is as we work to bring

2212
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,840
families on board, getting quality

2213
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,880
people into this land trust community,

2214
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,719
um, and the parents and, um, it would

2215
01:35:38,719 --> 01:35:40,639
have some teachers and administrators

2216
01:35:40,639 --> 01:35:43,040
and board members included in this

2217
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,560
committee. Um, in order to

2218
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,679
facilitate all of these, um,

2219
01:35:49,679 --> 01:35:53,120
accreditation processes, um, I've been

2220
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,440
working on documents from each of these

2221
01:35:55,440 --> 01:35:58,159
entities to make sure that they we know

2222
01:35:58,159 --> 01:36:00,080
where they are aligned so that when

2223
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:01,920
we're doing work for one, we're also

2224
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:05,520
doing work for another. um and and kind

2225
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,120
of managing it that way so that we don't

2226
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,440
have this group over here working on um

2227
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:10,880
high school accreditation and this group

2228
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:12,239
working on the Waldorf and they're not

2229
01:36:12,239 --> 01:36:13,679
really talking to each other and we're

2230
01:36:13,679 --> 01:36:16,159
duplicating the work and the tasks um

2231
01:36:16,159 --> 01:36:17,760
and these people saying that this is the

2232
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:19,120
plan we should follow and these people

2233
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:20,320
saying this is the plan we should

2234
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,159
follow. If we can bring that all into

2235
01:36:22,159 --> 01:36:25,920
one group and one body and one plan that

2236
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:27,760
can meet these different things. So,

2237
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,400
it'll be a little bit more work for the

2238
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:32,080
committee, but ultimately it'll be less

2239
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:35,920
work for the whole school. Um, and so

2240
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:37,440
I've been I've forwarded that

2241
01:36:37,440 --> 01:36:39,280
information to you guys so that you're

2242
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:42,480
aware. Um, it's good to read through it

2243
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:44,719
um as we move forward, but we'll be

2244
01:36:44,719 --> 01:36:46,960
ready for that um in our first and

2245
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:48,639
second year of operation. Any questions

2246
01:36:48,639 --> 01:36:53,990
about that process?

2247
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,159
That's all I have. Does the board have

2248
01:36:56,159 --> 01:36:59,840
any other questions for me [laughter]

2249
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,239
right now at this moment? Then Susan, I

2250
01:37:02,239 --> 01:37:07,030

» It's only 8:47 here, Sarah.

2255
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:22,149
>> I know. I'm working. [laughter]

2256
01:37:22,159 --> 01:37:24,560
» It's late here. Okay.

2257
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:25,280
It [laughter] is.

2258
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,440
>> If you watch me, I do it every single

2259
01:37:27,440 --> 01:37:29,760

01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,440
I'll remember.

2261
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:34,400
>> Susan, are you ready to take it over?

2262
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:35,920
>> I was just changing a diaper.

2263
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:36,880
>> Oh, I'm sorry. [laughter]

2264
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,360
>> Okay. Um I I didn't think everyone

2265
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,000
wanted to see that.

2266
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:43,679
All right. So, it looks like we're ready

2267
01:37:43,679 --> 01:37:46,320

>> No no that one comes last at the end.

2276
01:38:09,119 --> 01:38:12,400
>> Okay. A healthy social life is found

2277
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:16,400
only when in the mirror of each soul the

2278
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,679
whole community finds its reflection

2279
01:38:19,679 --> 01:38:22,719
and when in the whole community the

2280
01:38:22,719 --> 01:38:27,360
virtue of each one is living.

2281
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,760
