1
00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:03,650
>> I'd like to call the
September meeting to order its

2
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:04,720
rides for the pledge.

3
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:10,810
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of

4
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:17,010
America. And to for which it
stands. One nation under God,

5
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:20,120
indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

6
00:00:20,290 --> 00:00:25,380
[MUSIC]

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,470
Roll call. Please.

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,570
>> Tristan Ashmore your trusty
turkey this year.

9
00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:35,110
Trusty Wagner here, just the
hay for president

10
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:40,530
trusty led to a fair, just need
you to see their trusty arson

00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:42,960

12
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,220
his excuses. Yes, and ship.

13
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:50,390
Trustee amendment says excuse
excuse. Yeah.

14
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:57,040
>> School health started.

15
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:02,920
However, we're starting this
year with 4 less students who

16
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:04,020
lost their lives

17
00:01:04,610 --> 00:01:06,880
between our last board meeting
in this one

18
00:01:07,490 --> 00:01:11,550
and we want to take a moment of
silence and also to remember

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,970
our beloved quest teacher who
we lost

20
00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:44,310
the first item of business that
I just want to mention is

21
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:46,740
we have new microphones,

22
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:50,100
a new sound system. We're
hoping this will be a

23
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:56,560
welcome improvement. But please
bear with us if we need just a

24
00:01:56,570 --> 00:01:58,010
few. Thanks. Thank you.

25
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,370
First item on the agenda.
Gifts donations and

26
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:04,480
recognitions

27
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,910
doctor Garcia.

28
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:10,300
>> Yes, receiver this I would
like to call for Rachel

29
00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:12,410
Hutchinson. She will introduce

30
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:17,020
the 2026 Montana history
teacher of the year.

31
00:02:27,790 --> 00:02:31,370
>> I have a very gosh that
feels weird. All right. So

32
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:33,130
members of the board,
superintendent and

33
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:36,190
distinguished guests is my
extreme pride and pleasure as

34
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
an administrator at Billings
senior high to stand before you

35
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:42,140
tonight and introduce an
exceptional teacher say it

36
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:47,100
should. Sage is the Gilder
lehrman Institute. 2026 state

37
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:51,250
history. Teacher of the year
since 2004. This distinguished

38
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:55,070
award has recognize exceptional
K through 12 educators for

39
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,590
their remarkable work in
teaching American history.

40
00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:01,500
Senior high as a school with
rich diversity. We serve

41
00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:04,120
students in every corner of our
community from rural

42
00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:07,300
agricultural settings. Upper
class neighborhoods to areas

43
00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:11,180
impacted by crime, poverty and
housing instability. But in a

44
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:14,510
single class period, sage does
not just facilitate a history

45
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,750
lesson. She creates de'vion and
personal accountability across

46
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,700
the entire spectrum of students

47
00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:24,920
serving as a stable consistent
presence in their daily lives.

48
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:28,470
Sage provides for students, a
place to belong and invites all

49
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,700
students to be invested in
their own learning and become

50
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:32,760
critical thinkers.

51
00:03:33,290 --> 00:03:35,960
I have had the pleasure of
being in her club classroom

52
00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:40,100
numerous times and she really
brings history to life through

53
00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:43,460
a layered multi-dimensional
approach in her classroom.

54
00:03:43,470 --> 00:03:47,820
Students learn far beyond just
names and dates using a variety

55
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:51,240
of prime primary historical
documents. There's specific

56
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:55,860
poetry music art and political
commentary as well as satire.

57
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:59,180
Her students gain profound
appreciation of historical

58
00:03:59,190 --> 00:04:02,510
events. This is evident in the
vibrant student discussions

59
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,400
which are often Larry us and in
their own written expressions.

60
00:04:07,950 --> 00:04:10,670
Historical documents are not
just static remnants of the

61
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,030
past in her classroom stages,
students engage with them as

62
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,250
living evidence and Apollo 11
lesson isn't just a Tate in

63
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:23,060
1969 2 front flight logs and
navigational charts. It becomes

64
00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:26,480
active exploration. A
discussion on Jim Crow becomes

65
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:29,850
a tangible powerful lesson in
reality when students get to

66
00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:31,730
examine that original green
book

67
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:35,710
sage holds high standards, and
high expectations for all of

68
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,940
her students. She makes
rigorous academic practice,

69
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:39,820
feel fresh

70
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:43,830
exciting and accessible.
If we believe that teaching is

71
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,020
ultimately about serving the
needs of our students above and

72
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:49,800
beyond. Any standard
curriculum, then sages

73
00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:53,760
dedication skill and heart
Warren every honor. We are

74
00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:56,920
remarkably fortunate to have
her billing senior high and I

75
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:59,160
am proud to present her to you
tonight,

76
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,500
35 or hats.

77
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:19,070
>> That looks congratulations
to you.

78
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:25,940
You can.

79
00:05:26,970 --> 00:05:29,570
Thank you. Commissioners.

80
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,120
>> That's a real feather in Al
Park at. Thank you. Thank you.

81
00:05:38,130 --> 00:05:38,780
Thank you. Station.

82
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:43,330
>> At this time. I would like
to invite Keim Anthony. She's

83
00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:47,660
going to recognize some schools
that receive national

84
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:48,720
distinctions

85
00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:50,500
invisible learning.

86
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:55,830
>> So good evening. I'm we're
thrilled to celebrate for new

87
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,620
billions public schools that
got the coveted visible

88
00:05:58,630 --> 00:05:59,460
learning award

89
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:03,260
that was given to them in July
at the visible learning

90
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:08,520
conference. There were only 27
awards given international and

91
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:11,650
we were 4 of those. So that is
pretty outstanding.

92
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:16,450
So if that teachers and
principals from Arrowhead

93
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:20,610
elementary alkali Creek, eagle
cliffs and rose Park would come

94
00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:21,310
up fees.

95
00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:27,910
I just want to say that this
takes a lot of work and

96
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,300
commitment on both the
principles and their teachers.

97
00:06:31,650 --> 00:06:34,830
And I just want to say how much
we deeply. Appreciate your hard

98
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,390
work and dedication and that it
reflects a powerful commitment

99
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,630
to continuous improvement and
to making our schools inspiring

100
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,070
places for student learning.
So thank you for all of your

101
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,780
hard work in congratulations.

102
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,480
>> That anybody want to say
anything. That's why we should

103
00:06:57,490 --> 00:06:58,720
care.

104
00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:06,340
>> I would just say that this
takes a team effort and team

105
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:09,660
approach. And I would say that
along with our principles.

106
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:12,810
That really is our teachers and
not only our teachers but our

107
00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:13,710
students.

108
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:17,520
>> And their work in creating
that learning visible and for

109
00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:20,790
them to truly understand what
they're learning, how their

110
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,370
learning and where they're
going. So I'm just thank you

111
00:07:23,380 --> 00:07:23,800
for

112
00:07:24,270 --> 00:07:28,790
seen that that is so passionate
and so amazing for our

113
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,160
educators and for our students.
So for 27 nationally is pretty

114
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:37,950
impressive. Yes, and it was
phenomenal to see them from all

115
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
over the country from you know
that. I think there was one

116
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:43,980
from Japan and some from, you
know, just kind of all over the

117
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:47,970
place and it was amazing to see
these last 2 years. How many

118
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:51,950
from the Billings community has
shown because even last summer

119
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,470
there was him. How many

120
00:07:53,980 --> 00:07:55,870
for that were

121
00:07:57,030 --> 00:08:00,440
given that award the previous
year and then for elementary

122
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:03,260
and I can't wait to see what
will come and years to come.

123
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:06,800
So, yeah. Thank you. So please
come forward.

124
00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:00,140
>> At this time. I would like
to call

125
00:09:00,530 --> 00:09:04,830
for me it's a beach and they'll
she's going to present the

126
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,380
North star awards for the month
of September.

127
00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:16,980
>> Good evening. If they can
get Rachel Cole and Fred

128
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:19,690
headache. I don't know if I'm
saying your last name, right,

129
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:20,170
Fred.

130
00:09:21,230 --> 00:09:24,330
That is right. I'm so sorry.
Do a better job than that.

131
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:27,190
I'm Michael Thomas was also
going to be with us tonight

132
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,650
that he had a little family
emergency. So he sends his

133
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:34,530
apologies. He's our 3rd winner
for September. So I just want

134
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,860
to remind you, our North star
words as we get started for

135
00:09:37,870 --> 00:09:41,720
this year has to do with people
in our district that are

136
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:47,240
honoring our or putting focus
and guiding light are putting a

137
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:51,280
North star on our strategic
priorities. Of course, our

138
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:55,530
graduate profile and kind of
lumped within that is a is a

139
00:09:55,540 --> 00:10:00,520
big focus on visible learning
as that is a major component to

140
00:10:00,530 --> 00:10:02,820
the work that we're doing
within our district. So

141
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:07,630
as we launch things off this
fall. I went the route of

142
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,230
reaching out to our executive
directors as they have started

143
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,720
this year closely tied in with
our principles are building

144
00:10:15,730 --> 00:10:20,120
leaders. I asked them to give
some thought to people at the

145
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:22,860
elementary middle, middle
school and high school level

146
00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:27,510
that stood out as systems
leaders, building leaders that

147
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,530
really exemplified these
components that they felt had

148
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:37,130
really taken it to heart that
they were giving great thought

149
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:40,730
to how they were going to lead
their buildings this year with

150
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:44,300
these in mind and the honest
truth is that's not easy

151
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:48,650
because they oversee a lot of
people. So I know that that was

152
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:52,140
hard for them to to have to
narrow down and and give an

153
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:55,550
answer to that. So these people
should feel pretty honored that

154
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:59,940
I'm the executive directors
chose them for these awards.

155
00:10:59,950 --> 00:11:03,410
So we'll start with our
elementary. This is Rachel

156
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:09,370
call. Rachel is our principal
over at Broadwater elementary

157
00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:14,080
and you'll see a news letter
come out this week. I'm Melanie

158
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:16,870
went and took some pictures
today. And Rachel was able to

159
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,690
expound in an email today with
some information about the work

160
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,670
that they've done there.
So you'll see any male with

161
00:11:23,710 --> 00:11:27,740
with her words as well. But
just in a nutshell come in,

162
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:31,940
Kyra, expressed that Rachel has
been driving her entire team of

163
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:34,980
teachers and staff with a focus
toward the goals, particularly

164
00:11:34,990 --> 00:11:37,560
a visible learning but
encompassing the graduate

165
00:11:37,570 --> 00:11:40,350
profile in the strategic
priorities of our district.

166
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:44,720
She maintains and models high
expectations throughout with

167
00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:48,120
her efforts to start the school
year with the school's top of

168
00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:52,550
mind and visible throughout her
building and in particular,

169
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:55,880
she models those for her
teachers and her staff at all

170
00:11:55,890 --> 00:11:59,410
times. So I thought that was
pretty high praise to Rachel in

171
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:00,570
the work that she does

172
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:04,220
all speak as well about Michael
Thomas. Michael is the

173
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:09,100
principal at medicine Crow
middle school and I interviewed

174
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:12,400
Gordon classe a little bit last
week he had a little bit of a

175
00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:16,100
heavy lift because I made him
speak about both Michael Thomas

176
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:21,570
and Fred headache and what he
said about Michael was that

177
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:26,500
Michael was working to give
medicine Crow a positive,

178
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:31,070
a positive name and look within
our community and that he was

179
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,420
really doing that from the
inside as well as the outside.

180
00:12:34,430 --> 00:12:37,690
So from the inside, he was
working hard to really bring

181
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,980
about celebrations when there
were things within to

182
00:12:40,990 --> 00:12:44,850
celebrate. So there's been
improvement in test scores and

183
00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:47,060
he was working with the
teachers themselves to really

184
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:50,030
celebrate that with the
students and to celebrate the

185
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,090
teachers themselves when they
were leading the way.

186
00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:56,890
But that also this year in
particular, they were they had

187
00:12:56,900 --> 00:13:02,780
chosen strategically chosen a
focus of grit and perseverance

188
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:06,290
and that they're finding ways
to bring that about both in

189
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:10,230
their everyday learning but
also through unique

190
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,120
the whole building. I'm
learning whether it's an

191
00:13:14,130 --> 00:13:16,790
announcement or whether it's
other things they bring into

192
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,910
the building and learning going
on through. But we call those

193
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,470
like big assembly. Some things
like that. Okay.

194
00:13:24,850 --> 00:13:29,080
So great work that he's doing
there. And then also Fred

195
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:32,780
Pettit has taken over as our
principal at the career center

196
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:36,210
this year and what Gordon said
about Fred, was that he has

197
00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:40,140
worked hard to build a
community amongst the teachers

198
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:43,760
within the building, but also
that he has seen friends

199
00:13:43,770 --> 00:13:47,640
visibility with in the
community of the building

200
00:13:47,650 --> 00:13:51,420
really noticeably and that the
students have noticed that as

201
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:55,060
well. So the teachers and
students are noticing Fred's

202
00:13:55,070 --> 00:14:00,010
compassion his his presence
within the building and that he

203
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:04,430
is also kind of more behind the
scenes working to expand

204
00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:08,870
pathways and the offerings at
the career center, things that

205
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840
will benefit students and
thereby benefit our community

206
00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:16,170
as a whole when he's thinking
about in looking at the career

207
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:19,730
center in the offerings that
they are presenting to the

208
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:24,140
students and where that fits
within the big picture of our

209
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:27,710
our system as a whole and what
the can what the career center

210
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,920
is offering both to students
that are there full time as

211
00:14:31,930 --> 00:14:35,540
well as those that are
supplement to supplementing

212
00:14:35,550 --> 00:14:38,750
their high school experience
with their experience at the

213
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,300
career center. So right here
chair were too. So let's give a

214
00:14:43,310 --> 00:14:46,350
big round of applause to these
wonderful leaders.

215
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,020
Thank you.

216
00:15:05,490 --> 00:15:09,160
>> Well, thank you very much,
Rachel. Thank you for what you

217
00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:13,020
do for us. Thank you. And thank
you for

218
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,130
well, just.

219
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,180
>> And at this time

220
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:33,630
I would like to appreciate the
trustees for supporting the

221
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,150
daily's a project.

222
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,750
As you know, we brought that
project to completion

223
00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:46,040
before ahead of schedule and
before and under budget.

224
00:15:46,650 --> 00:15:49,830
We're really excited to see the
families gather. Together.

225
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:52,960
They see the kits plane and
then join the field.

226
00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:58,200
And before 8 celebrate you, I
wanted to tell the story about

227
00:15:58,210 --> 00:16:00,890
a student that came from
another part of the state.

228
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160
So one of the students came
from Helena and he said,

229
00:16:05,650 --> 00:16:08,660
wow, this takes it in his
beautiful look at the work that

230
00:16:08,670 --> 00:16:10,600
you guys have done so they were
playing football.

231
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:15,950
But apparently the team lost
the his team lost and he is

232
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,650
decided to stay behind, said
can someone give me a broom.

233
00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:21,950
I would like to have a broom.
Some people are asking whether

234
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,180
you need to root for. He said,
well, I would like to

235
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,840
leave the city better as I
found that I would like to

236
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:33,900
in a better shape than I found
it

237
00:16:34,290 --> 00:16:37,040
and I I called the
superintendent in and I mean he

238
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:41,560
choked when I told him this and
he was so moved by the

239
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,310
spirit of this. This student,

240
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,590
you know, sometimes we focus on
winning and losing. And the

241
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,610
main thing is to be the number
one or 2 have the base, the

242
00:16:50,620 --> 00:16:51,650
abyss opinion.

243
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:54,780
But sometimes what we need to
be a this week at years.

244
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:58,030
So I'm sharing the story so
everybody in our Billings

245
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,530
community can be just like the
student.

246
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:04,010
Our schools better than we
found them.

247
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,620
So this time I would like to
called many. She's going to

248
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:11,790
she's going to have some warts
and she has some words of the

249
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,390
past seen those

250
00:17:14,490 --> 00:17:17,600
those gifts, I would say
talking of appreciation.

251
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:26,510
>> Thank you for your support
of the stadium. Rebuild.

252
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,630
It looks beautiful ice trustee
Cherokee to set a game there

253
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,420
last week. And you know what, I
noticed a lot of people.

254
00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:37,240
I saw a big crowds going to the
stadium. And I thought, oh,

255
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:40,250
right. The pride is there.
I love it. And one of the nice

256
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:43,430
things about this at the grand
opening sheen told me that he

257
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,020
heard a couple Gentlemen
talking in one of the locker

258
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:49,680
rooms and they graduated in the
50's, right. They both

259
00:17:49,690 --> 00:17:53,150
graduated in the 1950's and
they were there. They are

260
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,480
remembering the pride and just
the legacy of the stadium.

261
00:17:55,490 --> 00:17:58,780
So thank you for your support.
We have commemorative Davis

262
00:17:58,790 --> 00:18:01,410
breaks for you. And if you're
at the grand opening, I think

263
00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:04,900
all of you remember the lid
open. So we want to hold it so

264
00:18:04,910 --> 00:18:08,460
it doesn't still. So we'll have
a crystal sheskey court.

265
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:11,980
And Mark and doctor Garcia
those out to. Thank you very

266
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:13,190
much for your support.

267
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,580
Thank you, Melanie.

268
00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:26,410
This shouldn't.

269
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:37,350
>> Thank you for those hoping
for

270
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:46,590
news case was used to thank
you.

271
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:54,940
Thank you, Sir, for their start

272
00:19:01,220 --> 00:19:02,130
at the beginning of the call.

273
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:07,420
>> And that concludes
recognitions the words of the

274
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:08,180
commission.

275
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:13,680
>> Okay. The next item on the
agenda is the approval of the

276
00:19:13,690 --> 00:19:14,290
agenda.

277
00:19:15,790 --> 00:19:18,830
We do have one on the consent
agenda.

278
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:23,820
16 seed that will be moved to
right before the consent

279
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:24,330
agenda.

280
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,300
Are there any other changes to
the agenda

281
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:36,300
to have a motion to approve the
agenda has corrected so much

282
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:39,340
and second a second.

283
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:42,460
It's been moved by trusty
Turkey to us and seconded by

284
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:43,550
trusty juicy

285
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:47,440
to approve the agenda has
corrected

286
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,190
any discussion.

287
00:19:49,970 --> 00:19:52,540
All those in favor say aye.
Aye. Any opposed

288
00:19:53,310 --> 00:19:54,190
motion passes.

289
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:57,540
All right. Thank you. Budget
discussion.

290
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,020
Good evening.

291
00:20:06,890 --> 00:20:08,790
>> So we're going to start out
that the Burberry bank

292
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,510
statement. This is that
earnings in August and you can

293
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,010
see lifetime today. The biggest
heat.

294
00:20:16,810 --> 00:20:19,840
You can see that our earnings
lifetime to date of this

295
00:20:19,850 --> 00:20:23,520
investment is that 324,004 97

296
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:27,600
others and $0.57. So it's been
doing the work that we wanted

297
00:20:27,610 --> 00:20:28,140
it to.

298
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:33,330
Thank you. And then the general
fund financial

299
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:39,270
worksheet that time. Jordan has
provided us. This is the new

300
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,870
look this year and the numbers
are little bit. If you open it

301
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,610
up, you can see this just gives
us with our general fund budget

302
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:51,390
is what are you are
expenditures are to date Jordan

303
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,380
and I had a discussion a little
bit this morning that he was

304
00:20:55,390 --> 00:20:59,470
seeing a little bit different
numbers for encumbrances the on

305
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600
the financial reports that you
saw versus my spreadsheet.

306
00:21:02,610 --> 00:21:06,830
Hear what I included in this
spreadsheet is pre encumbrances

307
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:08,770
and those are dollar figures.

308
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,690
>> That are on a red
requisition that are in process

309
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:16,850
of getting paid or encumbered.
They're just not in then cover

310
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:20,300
COLUMN. And there's a gift to
find out what those are and at

311
00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:22,850
those. And so they were
significant because we started

312
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:27,970
school and we had a number of
subscriptions and curriculum

313
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,250
purchases and things like that.
And so I thought it was

314
00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:33,300
important to add those those
numbers in this financial

315
00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:36,800
spreadsheet because this gives
us what our remaining budget is

316
00:21:37,020 --> 00:21:38,770
after those dollars are spoken
for.

317
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:40,260
So that's why.

318
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,960
>> I'm going forward. I don't
know if it's better to do that

319
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:48,250
or I'm thinking that perhaps we
don't put the pre incumbents is

320
00:21:48,260 --> 00:21:52,540
on this spreadsheet next month.
If this is something that the

321
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:55,760
budget Committee decides to
stay with or not. I'm just so

322
00:21:55,770 --> 00:21:56,980
that I reports match

323
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:01,180
going forward. I think that's
probably what we'll do. But

324
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:03,680
you'll see this. This number
just kind of gives us. You

325
00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:07,020
might see a little difference
next month. Next month on our

326
00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:09,260
remaining budget because of
them.

327
00:22:09,530 --> 00:22:12,080
We're still in the

328
00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:15,890
acceptable monitor range for
our reserves

329
00:22:16,650 --> 00:22:17,930
for health status

330
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,100
to have any questions for Lori.

331
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,870
>> For just a simple question
on the the earnings from Rivera

332
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,570
with the payout towards de la.
So you're not you're today.

333
00:22:34,580 --> 00:22:37,180
But the whole lifetime we've

334
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:41,950
interest earned is 3.24.
For 97. How long are we able to

335
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,890
keep that

336
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:48,210
because we have to pay our
bills. Right. But we're still

337
00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:51,530
that revenue coming off their
could offset some of our

338
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,440
other costs down the road.

339
00:22:53,910 --> 00:22:57,460
>> So she was soon as we as a
I'm thinking, am.

340
00:22:58,100 --> 00:22:58,980
I'm thinking.

341
00:22:59,250 --> 00:23:02,190
>> If I can keep it to the end
of September. That will have a

342
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,310
full months interest earnings
and then we can. We'll have to

343
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,610
start pulling on that loan para
payments,

344
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:12,010
something just stretched as far
as I possibly can.

345
00:23:16,530 --> 00:23:20,900
Okay. Any other questions for.
Larry. Thank you, Lori. Thank

346
00:23:20,910 --> 00:23:21,600
you.

347
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,760
Okay. Next, we have
communication from the public

348
00:23:30,770 --> 00:23:33,970
and I do have a few names here.
First,

349
00:23:34,420 --> 00:23:35,140
Jennifer

350
00:23:35,710 --> 00:23:37,000
Lola don't which

351
00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:40,610
how did you Jennifer?

352
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:45,000
I've been practicing.

353
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,810
And Jennifer has requested an
additional 5 minutes.

354
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:05,010
Our timer is not working okay.
Show time or so. We've got an

355
00:24:05,020 --> 00:24:07,390
unofficial time or yeah.
So we'll

356
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,050
will be that you okay. Okay.
Thank U K

357
00:24:12,810 --> 00:24:16,100
my name is Jennifer. Thank you.
Board.

358
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,650
>> And trustees as well.
Let me to speak today. My name

359
00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:22,920
is Jennifer. A lot of its I am
the president for the Billings

360
00:24:22,930 --> 00:24:25,750
classified employees
Association for school district

361
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,110
2,

362
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:29,090
which basically I cover.
I have

363
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,240
all of our

364
00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:35,990
I think these are son ace.
Our best days are computer tax

365
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,240
in a state of assistance

366
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:39,160
accountants.

367
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:43,260
I think. And there's a plethora
of others, too as well.

368
00:24:44,930 --> 00:24:50,920
I do want to touch base to talk
about our respect campaign and

369
00:24:50,930 --> 00:24:54,670
I've got little fires free to
you as well. So

370
00:25:03,770 --> 00:25:05,180
so I'm

371
00:25:06,530 --> 00:25:11,140
part of respect which ESP which
stands for educators support.

372
00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:12,100
Professional.

373
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,470
We are focusing on our support
staff right now. Our support

374
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,180
staff who do not

375
00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:20,810
receive

376
00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:25,640
a livable wage at all. I mean,
they barely can get by with

377
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:26,380
bills.

378
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,380
So and especially know, we just
had negotiations last year.

379
00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:34,550
But so the side of that I want
to touch base with. As you I

380
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,480
have sent out an email to all
of you as well. I'm kind of

381
00:25:37,490 --> 00:25:38,880
explain what

382
00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:43,150
our campaign is about. I know
this is supposed to. I wanted

383
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,270
to touch base about this during
our another meeting and I will

384
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,950
to to our base in the future
lies as well.

385
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,980
But I just want to let you know
that we are the foundation of

386
00:25:54,340 --> 00:25:58,140
the school's cancer. You cannot
have a school survive

387
00:25:58,770 --> 00:26:02,170
because you have your
custodians to open the doors,

388
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:04,580
make sure they're secure as
well. Their educators

389
00:26:04,590 --> 00:26:05,170
supporters.

390
00:26:05,890 --> 00:26:08,510
You have your administrative
assistance that the first

391
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,470
person, the child sees and the
last one to see.

392
00:26:12,450 --> 00:26:15,950
You also have your estimation
IP peace who are in the

393
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,280
classroom helping out with the
students who are struggling

394
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:23,680
was anything like that too.
And then it's just you have a

395
00:26:23,690 --> 00:26:26,940
computer techs. Who else can do
technology. Well,

396
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:30,930
basically we are part of the
foundation.

397
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:34,120
And if we cannot if you do not
have that,

398
00:26:34,990 --> 00:26:37,220
I don't know what your school
ID without us.

399
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:42,130
I do want to ask in the future.
I'm going to be probably

400
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:44,320
presenting a resolution

401
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:46,400
to ask for support.

402
00:26:47,090 --> 00:26:49,720
So just to keep to let you know
as well

403
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,210
to have

404
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:56,310
be able to go in and explain
that. Our our staff itself

405
00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:58,080
who only Hearn

406
00:26:59,750 --> 00:27:01,450
22,000 a year.

407
00:27:02,330 --> 00:27:07,070
I don't know how anyone can bet
on a $20,000 salary when you

408
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,190
could barely decide which bills
to pay rent or food.

409
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:16,900
I'm asking our board of
trustees for support as well as

410
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:17,480
help,

411
00:27:19,210 --> 00:27:21,290
especially. I know and
Legislature's a different

412
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:24,900
story. That's where we need to
focus on as well and plenty of

413
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:28,240
to our us. So that's what I'm
asking for your support

414
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,260
as well as at as we have
continuing turnover, if you

415
00:27:34,270 --> 00:27:37,760
will, on continuing people to
keep staying their jobs.

416
00:27:39,050 --> 00:27:40,960
It's constant turnover all the
time.

417
00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:42,980
Newsy postings all the time

418
00:27:43,530 --> 00:27:46,240
for us. The names and IP fees
or any other position, their

419
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:47,090
school district.

420
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:52,530
I just ask you to look through
this. The fire sent each of you

421
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:55,560
is just a brief synopsis of
what our respect campaign is

422
00:27:55,570 --> 00:27:56,310
about.

423
00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,670
I just like to ask if you would
mind sharing it with the other

424
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,300
community members as well

425
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:04,800
about this. But I appreciate
your

426
00:28:07,170 --> 00:28:07,940
and let me speak.

427
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:10,610
Thank you, Jennifer.

428
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:16,980
Next, we have Heather McDonald
police.

429
00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:28,140
>> Good evening. School board
members superintendent Garcia.

430
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:31,440
I'm Heather McDowell. I have 8
year-old twin daughters that is

431
00:28:31,450 --> 00:28:34,520
heading for their elementary.
An 11 year-old son that attends

432
00:28:34,530 --> 00:28:37,310
been seal my neighbor out of
the front. Well, as back here,

433
00:28:38,650 --> 00:28:42,540
we love everything about school
district to except we lost our

434
00:28:42,550 --> 00:28:48,170
bus. So we started at Boulder

435
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,910
with my son. And I'll just go
ahead and pass at the maps.

436
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,320
You guys can look at it one
time.

437
00:28:56,850 --> 00:28:59,710
I turn to the second page.

438
00:29:29,910 --> 00:29:33,250
If you look at the map are in
this little sunny codes area

439
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:35,750
which is across from coverage
and Falcon Ridge.

440
00:29:36,220 --> 00:29:40,360
So we have kind of the old
places of I'm a little bit of

441
00:29:40,370 --> 00:29:44,620
farm area outside of town were
zoned agricultural and then the

442
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:47,830
neighborhood is come in.
And so when my son started

443
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,800
elementary school at Boulder.
I looked at the map and said

444
00:29:51,810 --> 00:29:55,200
this really doesn't make sense
because Warren medal lerch.

445
00:29:55,210 --> 00:30:00,320
But the road doesn't go through
from grand to up 66. So you can

446
00:30:00,330 --> 00:30:03,390
only access or places through
Iraq. So I just thought,

447
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,380
well, that's that doesn't
really make sense that have to

448
00:30:05,390 --> 00:30:08,650
bring a bus all the way around
and then, you know, the

449
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:11,370
neighborhood kids would be in a
different school. So I just

450
00:30:11,380 --> 00:30:14,490
called the Boulder principal
and talk to him. And then I

451
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:18,670
called the administrator at the
time and talk to him and they

452
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,450
just pulled up the maps and
say, yeah, it makes perfect

453
00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:24,520
sense like return. We really
don't want to send you a bus,

454
00:30:24,530 --> 00:30:28,130
you know, from metal lurk and
your you know, you're right

455
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:31,550
there. You can walk up the road
and you can go across remark to

456
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,290
an existing bus stops. We've
been doing that for 5 years and

457
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,800
my girls, you know, and 3rd
grade have been doing that.

458
00:30:38,810 --> 00:30:42,440
But now this year we've been
told that apparently all out of

459
00:30:42,450 --> 00:30:45,520
area. Kids no longer have a
bus. So

460
00:30:46,050 --> 00:30:50,230
we all work. I'm a single
parent and I'm super reliant

461
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,990
from Ibis. I feel like
everything else could happen

462
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,830
in my life. But I just see my
kids to be able to get on the

463
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,190
bus. If I have an early meeting
or to come home and get off the

464
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,960
bus. If I work in Columbus and
I just can't. It's hype.

465
00:31:04,970 --> 00:31:07,880
There's no way that I
personally can get to school

466
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:12,210
every morning and to pick them
up and my neighbors work at the

467
00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:15,030
refinery and they're kind of in
that at least they're going the

468
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,130
same direction. But it's so
complicated. So what we decided

469
00:31:18,140 --> 00:31:20,660
we would just ask for is it
really makes the most sense to

470
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:24,240
just move the boundary and just
put there's a drainage ditch

471
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:28,910
that separates 66 where you can
see by the little flag that 66

472
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,950
doesn't go strict. It doesn't
go through.

473
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:33,760
There are no other kids there.
There have never been any other

474
00:31:33,770 --> 00:31:37,160
kids. They're my kids were the
first kids to ever go to

475
00:31:37,170 --> 00:31:40,260
elementary school from that
side of not of remark in sunny

476
00:31:40,270 --> 00:31:41,260
Cove. And

477
00:31:42,050 --> 00:31:44,670
you know, there are any other
kids in the whole area. So

478
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,690
we're just asking that you
read, right. The boundary lines

479
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:51,500
so that it follows that natural
geographic carrier. If you look

480
00:31:51,510 --> 00:31:54,710
at it on Google Earth. It's a
little clear that you just

481
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,140
can't get across this massive
drainage ditch. That's there.

482
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,070
And then that would solve the
problem. So I talked a medal or

483
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,120
because now we're really in the
situation of

484
00:32:03,730 --> 00:32:08,210
do we approved the kids and go
to med alert. So we have a bus

485
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:11,980
and obviously nobody wants to
do that, right. We're

486
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,210
in my case I'm paying people to
help me to try to get my kids

487
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:20,710
to school, but I'm really it's
just it it when I talk to

488
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,930
meadowlark, they said that the
bus would have to come. An

489
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:27,370
additional 1.3 miles and would
have to create a new bus stop.

490
00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:31,160
So and then there's one stop
and then it's another mile and

491
00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:33,310
a half. So I mean, you're
bringing a bus

492
00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:37,560
at least, you know, 2 and a
half miles to get just to our

493
00:32:37,570 --> 00:32:38,400
kids, which

494
00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:42,020
I I realize there's some sort
of from talking with doctor

495
00:32:42,030 --> 00:32:43,320
Garcia. There's some sort of

496
00:32:43,980 --> 00:32:48,320
reimbursement so that the state
pays for area kids. But I still

497
00:32:48,330 --> 00:32:51,910
just hate the thought of.
We'll go ahead and bring that

498
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,280
bring the bus an extra 3 miles
when our kids can just do what

499
00:32:56,290 --> 00:32:59,960
they've been doing for 5 years.
So we're asking that the bus

500
00:32:59,970 --> 00:33:04,470
that that that area be changed
to include our properties in

501
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,540
the Boulder school district and
that will solve this problem

502
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:16,360
Adam. Well.

503
00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:27,550
>> Thank everybody. So yes, my
name is out in front. Well,

504
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,700
me and my family moved here
about 5 years ago and just want

505
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:33,240
to start off and thank
everybody for their service and

506
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:36,930
dedication. And just time spent
on the school district. We

507
00:33:36,940 --> 00:33:39,820
thoroughly enjoyed Billings in
the school so far. And I just

508
00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:42,870
want to thank you all for all
you do. So like Heather said,

509
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,090
her neighbors, I'm not going to
necessarily reiterate

510
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:48,310
everything that she just
explained. I'm just here and

511
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,580
kind of support of the request.
We have 3 kids are all the sun.

512
00:33:52,590 --> 00:33:55,710
Is it been steel. So, you know,
we're district defense deal.

513
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,560
He rides the bus there. But
there are 2 younger daughters

514
00:33:58,570 --> 00:34:01,830
are in 5th grade and second
grade. Our kids are great

515
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,300
friends on our little Street.
And as Heather said, I work my

516
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:09,650
wife works. And so from a
logistical perspective, you

517
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:13,530
know, having now after getting
into a rhythm and a routine of

518
00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:16,650
them riding the bus the last
few years to the now for a

519
00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:21,110
staff to find additional care
rights ways to transport the

520
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,230
kids to school. It's just been
a bit of an impact on our

521
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:28,000
family. You know, we they love
the bus to kids. As Heather

522
00:34:28,010 --> 00:34:30,380
explained, you know, they've
been writing an existing route

523
00:34:30,390 --> 00:34:32,880
with an existing stop from
Boulder. So there's not

524
00:34:32,890 --> 00:34:36,850
necessarily a reason or need to
create a new route, a new stop

525
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:40,320
or another way of you know that
for the bus to go. They can

526
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:42,930
just get off the existing staff
with their friends and then

527
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:46,330
come to the House. It's also
beneficial to us because we

528
00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:48,370
know they're safe. They're on
the bus. And then we can get

529
00:34:48,380 --> 00:34:51,290
them to school and home from
school and and spend more time

530
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:54,320
with them. And so as Heather
said, you know, in the past

531
00:34:54,330 --> 00:34:56,900
we've gone through the request,
through the school this year

532
00:34:56,910 --> 00:34:59,960
that didn't work out. And so
we're here to formally request

533
00:34:59,970 --> 00:35:03,510
the boundaries to be redrawn.
You know, as as indicated on

534
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,130
the request. And it was just
really help us. Our family out

535
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:10,890
from a logistics piece to get
the kids to and from Boulder.

536
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,990
So thank you for your time.
Appreciate it. Thanks for your

537
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,530
comments,

538
00:35:18,830 --> 00:35:19,630
Denise joy.

539
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:33,710
>> Good evening. Board members,
superintendent staff members of

540
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:37,220
school district to in public.
I'm Dennis representative

541
00:35:37,230 --> 00:35:41,580
Denise joy. I represent House
district, 46 and I'm here to

542
00:35:41,590 --> 00:35:45,510
urge years support for the
respect campaign in the future

543
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,230
action.

544
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,770
As you know, retaining ESP ease
education support professionals

545
00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:57,930
is in the best interest of this
Board of this school district

546
00:35:57,940 --> 00:36:00,400
and the quality education of
this community.

547
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:06,600
It's very difficult to have
turnover in positions that are

548
00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:11,030
very closely linked to
children's education. IPP

549
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,570
season snh work daily with
children with students and

550
00:36:16,580 --> 00:36:19,720
build a rapport with them in
order to be effective. It

551
00:36:19,730 --> 00:36:23,900
communicators and effective
educators. So the constantly

552
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:28,510
tent is a constant turnover and
the lack of retention is really

553
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,030
impactful on the quality
education. That's delivered.

554
00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:36,900
Second of all, I'd really like
to urge you to think about the

555
00:36:36,910 --> 00:36:41,090
increasing costs that are part
of our community and across the

556
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,560
country. The

557
00:36:43,420 --> 00:36:46,560
gasoline right now is $4.50 a
gallon

558
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:53,870
your being impacted in your
transportation costs at diesel

559
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,020
being sold at $6 a gallon.
So we're being very deeply

560
00:36:59,030 --> 00:37:03,870
impacted by inflation, by
rising costs of food, housing,

561
00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:07,960
health care costs. And it
really comes down to

562
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:11,960
the espys having to make
decisions about whether they

563
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:13,510
can continue

564
00:37:13,850 --> 00:37:18,160
their career and their job in
education, which is usually

565
00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:22,020
their passion is very difficult
to do the jobs we do without

566
00:37:22,030 --> 00:37:26,200
having passion for education.
We're passionate about keep

567
00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:30,940
doing our jobs and doing it
well and having that impact on

568
00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:35,010
students. So it really comes
down to difficult decisions for

569
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:39,380
many the S P's. It's a matter
of survival. Can you continue

570
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:43,670
to work for 9 months a year for
some some ah, yes, peas were

571
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,170
1011 12 months employees or are
you going to get a job at

572
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:49,140
Costco

573
00:37:49,650 --> 00:37:53,620
and work more hours or maybe
the same amount of hours but be

574
00:37:53,630 --> 00:37:58,000
better off in terms of your
family budget and the cost of

575
00:37:58,010 --> 00:38:02,510
what you do. So it really puts
the espys in a position of

576
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,330
having to make some very
difficult choices.

577
00:38:06,260 --> 00:38:10,360
And I know that I can beat your
mission. I know our mission.

578
00:38:10,370 --> 00:38:12,800
I know the goals of this board

579
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:16,630
and quality education will be
best served.

580
00:38:17,140 --> 00:38:21,610
When we address the survival
and the health and well-being

581
00:38:21,620 --> 00:38:26,250
of those staff members who at
the very bottom of the income

582
00:38:26,260 --> 00:38:26,880
earners.

583
00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:29,330
So I urge your support

584
00:38:29,790 --> 00:38:31,440
to make a commitment

585
00:38:32,060 --> 00:38:37,410
to what I know to be your highs
come priority and that priority

586
00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:38,910
is quality education

587
00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:43,460
in our community. So I urge you
support for the respect

588
00:38:43,470 --> 00:38:44,710
campaign. Thank you.

589
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:46,600
Thank you. Denise

590
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:53,950
Savannah. More done.

591
00:38:56,050 --> 00:38:59,750
>> Are 2 of you coming up at
the same time. I'm Alexis

592
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:00,430
Hellman.

593
00:39:10,940 --> 00:39:14,890
Hi, I'm were coming from
Broadwater school. We just had

594
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:17,780
a meeting with Mister or doctor
Garcia.

595
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:23,270
Our main concerns have to deal
with the safety of our children

596
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,130
at the school

597
00:39:25,260 --> 00:39:27,810
and we're looking to come to
you guys as the board

598
00:39:30,050 --> 00:39:33,330
ask if there's a way to go
about legislation with you guys

599
00:39:33,670 --> 00:39:35,300
and petitioning for

600
00:39:35,820 --> 00:39:39,480
a mental health check with him
to see if there's a way to lift

601
00:39:39,490 --> 00:39:41,340
that license that he has to
have

602
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:44,530
a gun within 1000 feet of the
school.

603
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,510
And if there's a way that we
can go about doing that so that

604
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,280
we are safety for children is
maintained because ultimately

605
00:39:52,460 --> 00:39:53,840
our children comes first

606
00:39:54,380 --> 00:39:58,930
and all of our kids are afraid
to go to school and that's not

607
00:39:58,940 --> 00:40:01,040
fair to them. And it's not
fair.

608
00:40:01,660 --> 00:40:04,880
You know, to the community to
be concerned about safety over

609
00:40:04,890 --> 00:40:08,860
one human being who thinks that
his rights are more than that

610
00:40:08,870 --> 00:40:10,440
of 350 children.

611
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,730
We want to speak.

612
00:40:14,770 --> 00:40:18,890
>> And that my name is Alexis
Herman want this. And I just

613
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,720
want to thank you for letting
us be here tonight and

614
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,510
got she's like a danger,

615
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:27,130
you know, to have our children
going there.

616
00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:31,640
And it was also going to say
they said that we're going to

617
00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:34,450
think about the law. But I do
believe,

618
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:37,000
you know, that should be want
to like the

619
00:40:38,650 --> 00:40:39,590
immediate

620
00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:45,990
obstacles that we do tackle
because, you know, I know that

621
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,870
there's probably a bunch of
concrete companies here in town

622
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,140
that would literally do the job
for free.

623
00:40:52,530 --> 00:40:56,250
I mean, I don't understand why
that's such a I mean, I don't

624
00:40:56,260 --> 00:40:58,590
believe that you guys are
finding a such a hard ask.

625
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,220
But

626
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,720
I think that's, you know, more
than fair to consider it.

627
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:05,560
And

628
00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:10,220
also was wondering if we can
see because they did talk about

629
00:41:10,230 --> 00:41:12,190
with the police tonight that

630
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,580
that he may or may not be a
resident of like that. He does

631
00:41:16,590 --> 00:41:20,590
habitat inside the House.
So I think that he might be

632
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,790
staying in the back. And I
think that is very fair to say

633
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:29,230
that shows his immediate mental
health says they as he is now.

634
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,960
I mean, you know, I mean, like
poverty is poverty and I don't

635
00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:34,280
think they we should be shamed
that. But I mean, him walking

636
00:41:34,290 --> 00:41:37,940
outside in front of a school.
And then, you know, the main

637
00:41:37,950 --> 00:41:40,320
thing was a 1000 feet its way
closer than 1000 feet. That's

638
00:41:40,330 --> 00:41:44,280
300 feet away from the school
300 feet away from children.

639
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:47,510
Why do we care about grown
man's rights

640
00:41:48,290 --> 00:41:49,130
in children.

641
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:51,110
That's not OK.

642
00:41:51,620 --> 00:41:54,100
And he that that right there is

643
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:58,300
basis enough that that old
enough weight enough to say

644
00:41:58,310 --> 00:42:02,570
that he literally has a mental
health issue and my sister has

645
00:42:02,580 --> 00:42:05,060
mental health issues. But I
mean, I literally don't see her

646
00:42:05,070 --> 00:42:07,350
doing that and I see her
getting the help that she

647
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:07,900
needs.

648
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,470
So I mean, I'm not bases.
I'm not, you know, being bases

649
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,590
on, you know, people with
mental health problems, you

650
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,340
know, all need to be locked up.
But I mean, he certainly does

651
00:42:18,350 --> 00:42:22,280
or he needs to be removed from
the premises or he, you know,

652
00:42:22,290 --> 00:42:23,540
something needs to be done.

653
00:42:24,940 --> 00:42:27,540
You know, that's just not okay
with this committee as moms.

654
00:42:27,550 --> 00:42:29,120
And we just thank you for your
time, Sir.

655
00:42:29,830 --> 00:42:31,800
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you. Thank you,

656
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,530
Stephen Thompson.

657
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,350
>> Good evening, everybody.
And thank you for the

658
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,920
opportunity this evening to get
a chance to hear from the

659
00:42:55,930 --> 00:42:58,560
public, right. A neighbor,
Stephen Thompson. Again,

660
00:42:58,570 --> 00:43:06,080
I am a citizen here within the
city of Billings. I have a

661
00:43:06,090 --> 00:43:10,740
granddaughter that has to drop
water elementary and also have

662
00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:11,600
a partner who works

663
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,710
and I do have concerns about
security. We were just a head

664
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:17,950
it that's a discussion with
doctor Garcia.

665
00:43:18,730 --> 00:43:22,680
I just want to ask you guys.
I had no idea that I wouldn't

666
00:43:22,690 --> 00:43:23,690
be here tonight

667
00:43:24,170 --> 00:43:26,970
outside of maybe 15 minutes ago
to come talk to me. So I have

668
00:43:26,980 --> 00:43:32,080
nothing prepared us up front.
You have about a k a I just

669
00:43:32,090 --> 00:43:34,910
threw out to you guys. How many
school shootings were there in

670
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,710
2025

671
00:43:36,420 --> 00:43:38,710
anybody know across United
States.

672
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:41,750
There are 233

673
00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:45,680
school shootings. A 158 injured

674
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,110
several this. So,

675
00:43:51,060 --> 00:43:51,840
>> you know,

676
00:43:52,740 --> 00:43:54,520
I heard somebody earlier say

677
00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:56,840
that your number one

678
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:03,630
objective goal is to provide
outstanding education for

679
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,790
children within the school.
That makes sense for school

680
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:06,300
wrecked.

681
00:44:07,250 --> 00:44:09,540
I would argue that it's the
safety of the kids

682
00:44:10,290 --> 00:44:13,800
should come at. It should be at
least the top objective.

683
00:44:13,810 --> 00:44:16,470
Is that your goals, your top
checked. It should be

684
00:44:17,210 --> 00:44:18,800
the U.S. state of our children.

685
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,140
I'm now in Montana, at least
back to 2023 there's been no

686
00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:27,590
school shootings that that at
least that is just captured in

687
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,090
statistics and I can see
sitting at back of the room for

688
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:31,460
that Perry come up that right.

689
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,950
We don't want to make. We want
to make sure that it stays that

690
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,260
way.

691
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,700
I understand that there are
hurdles, you know, legal

692
00:44:41,710 --> 00:44:44,930
hurdles with the individual
that we have a concern about.

693
00:44:45,460 --> 00:44:47,020
There are

694
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,560
budget concerns. There's always
budget concerns that I work for

695
00:44:51,570 --> 00:44:54,920
the federal government for for
over 40 years. I started my

696
00:44:54,930 --> 00:44:57,580
career as a military officer
right here at Malmstrom Air

697
00:44:57,590 --> 00:44:59,900
Force Base in Great Falls

698
00:45:00,370 --> 00:45:04,130
and that I went in and a
retired as a commander, as a

699
00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:06,870
base commander of settle school
boards before as a base

700
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:07,380
commander.

701
00:45:08,130 --> 00:45:12,600
And I can tell you and also
worked as a director of civil

702
00:45:12,610 --> 00:45:17,530
rights, among other things and
federal government going to

703
00:45:17,540 --> 00:45:19,040
culminate in over 40 years.

704
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:20,540
Generally

705
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,550
if there is a security safety
issue

706
00:45:25,820 --> 00:45:29,770
that becomes a top priority.
I don't care if its military,

707
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:33,440
I don't care if it's federal
government care that state

708
00:45:33,450 --> 00:45:36,000
government. I don't care if
it's school boards,

709
00:45:37,510 --> 00:45:42,310
I could I really, really
request. And I know that I have

710
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,040
the community behind me that
you take this up with the most

711
00:45:46,050 --> 00:45:46,920
serious

712
00:45:47,470 --> 00:45:48,700
and that be tracked

713
00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:52,500
and that I would like to see a
plan what your plan to address

714
00:45:52,510 --> 00:45:54,760
this tonight. We didn't hear
plan.

715
00:45:55,660 --> 00:46:00,740
We heard a discussion and
primarily what I heard was

716
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:04,310
awesome community for thoughts
and that's great community for

717
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,460
thoughts. But generally you
come to the community with a

718
00:46:06,470 --> 00:46:09,270
plan and then asked for
thoughts. I don't see any

719
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,030
plant.

720
00:46:10,370 --> 00:46:15,000
So I'd like you guys in your
closed sessions, whatever it

721
00:46:15,010 --> 00:46:17,580
is, work with the
superintendent and come up with

722
00:46:17,590 --> 00:46:21,260
the plan. I mean, generally
what we get here and what I

723
00:46:21,270 --> 00:46:22,710
think,

724
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:26,670
you know, with one of the the
ideas. And I think when that is

725
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,460
really was coming from maybe
the superintendent and also

726
00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:33,050
that a trustee was that, you
know, we want to look at.

727
00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:36,410
You try to change the law or go
back to the state Legislature

728
00:46:36,420 --> 00:46:38,340
to change the law. I think
that's great. That's a great

729
00:46:38,350 --> 00:46:42,260
idea. It's going to take a lot
of time to do that, though.

730
00:46:42,270 --> 00:46:44,530
You know, we heard that the
legislators come back and chest

731
00:46:44,540 --> 00:46:45,700
until 2027

732
00:46:47,020 --> 00:46:48,700
it's going to take money.

733
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:52,610
But governor with a good you
where it is that you're going

734
00:46:52,620 --> 00:46:56,120
to the governor going up for
your chain through the

735
00:46:56,130 --> 00:46:58,390
Department of Education.
Assuming that is your chain.

736
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,250
If not somewhere. They fall in
there and how budgets are

737
00:47:02,260 --> 00:47:06,140
dispersed. I understand levees.
I understand that you guys have

738
00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:09,260
concerns with money. I get all
that. But there's got to be

739
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:10,620
some mitigating issues.

740
00:47:11,130 --> 00:47:13,290
I mean, there's some easy
things that can be done

741
00:47:13,300 --> 00:47:16,670
administratively. I think one
of the things that was talk

742
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,960
about, though, that might be a
next step. This, you know,

743
00:47:19,140 --> 00:47:22,560
building some type of barrier
or at least put up a barrier

744
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,860
next to the road next to the
school and there's a lot of

745
00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:30,920
good reason for something like
that because I think it was

746
00:47:30,930 --> 00:47:34,400
like maybe less than a month
ago. A car just went into one

747
00:47:34,410 --> 00:47:37,890
of the one of the houses right
off the street at Broadwater.

748
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,260
I think that you could engage.
And I think that you could

749
00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:46,650
collaborate with the city.
The City Council. I'll be there

750
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:48,580
as well as I could because I
understand that they're having

751
00:47:48,590 --> 00:47:51,850
a means that as well. And and I
would be saying the same thing.

752
00:47:51,860 --> 00:47:55,110
There needs to be collaboration
and engagement and there needs

753
00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:00,590
to be some way that folks and
come up with the talks can come

754
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,440
up with the money. But I can
tell you that this is a top

755
00:48:03,450 --> 00:48:07,410
concern because it deals with
potential life

756
00:48:07,870 --> 00:48:12,450
issues and safety within our
schools. Let's not let Montana

757
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,960
really. It's record of 0
shootings in the school.

758
00:48:16,970 --> 00:48:17,530
OK.

759
00:48:20,490 --> 00:48:21,980
Thank you for your comments.

760
00:48:26,970 --> 00:48:28,010
Kylie Lammers.

761
00:48:37,350 --> 00:48:41,210
>> Hi, my name's Kylie members
and I've got 2 girls district

762
00:48:41,810 --> 00:48:44,430
on a multi spoke to mistress.
Could you address

763
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:46,490
now, OK. And like I can't
remember.

764
00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:51,390
I just came from the meeting.
It brought water and I was

765
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,950
really grateful that the
district took action so quickly

766
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,330
and had a parent meeting.
I was really impressed

767
00:48:57,700 --> 00:49:02,000
that the room was full. It's
04:00PM. It's hard for parents

768
00:49:02,010 --> 00:49:03,870
to get there. So I bet it would
have been

769
00:49:04,550 --> 00:49:07,560
double or triple if had been
after work hours

770
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:14,560
and I'm really just here to
encourage you guys.

771
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:18,680
You know, as I was talking to
parents. I know you guys are

772
00:49:18,690 --> 00:49:21,910
all taking this seriously.
And just what I walked away

773
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,560
with was a lot of fear. And I
know that it is not the

774
00:49:26,570 --> 00:49:27,250
districts

775
00:49:28,070 --> 00:49:29,970
fault that this is happening.

776
00:49:30,990 --> 00:49:34,260
And I know it's really not the
district's job to take care of

777
00:49:34,270 --> 00:49:39,170
it. But and I will be one of
the first people in line

778
00:49:39,180 --> 00:49:41,330
working on that at the state.

779
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,230
But I also think we got it.
Make sure that we do what we

780
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:50,130
can. I I think the biggest
frustration that people walked

781
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:51,080
away with was

782
00:49:51,590 --> 00:49:54,790
what about tomorrow? I have to
drop my kids off to school

783
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,400
tomorrow. And you're telling me
we have to wait for legislation

784
00:49:58,410 --> 00:50:00,810
and we have to contact John
forte in all of these are

785
00:50:00,820 --> 00:50:05,010
excellent ideas and they all
need to be done. But what can

786
00:50:05,020 --> 00:50:12,090
we do tomorrow. And I just want
to encourage you to have an SRO

787
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:16,200
there, at least like this week.
Just constantly there. I know

788
00:50:16,210 --> 00:50:16,530
that

789
00:50:17,060 --> 00:50:20,370
that takes resources from
somewhere else. But I do think

790
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:21,740
it's important for

791
00:50:22,250 --> 00:50:26,120
parents to feel heard and felt
like court. The district is

792
00:50:26,130 --> 00:50:30,420
doing what they can. I know
they were also frustrated that,

793
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,490
you know, there's no tar being
put up. Last time there was

794
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:37,160
immediate action and some kind
of visibility thing was put up

795
00:50:37,170 --> 00:50:38,080
because it really

796
00:50:40,450 --> 00:50:43,150
we know it makes them feel
obviously that's not going to

797
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,610
protect the kids, but it's also
harmful that we're normalizing

798
00:50:46,620 --> 00:50:49,600
this and that our kids get to
see someone like that every

799
00:50:49,610 --> 00:50:53,720
day. So I mean, guys, I I'm
happy to go put a tarp up

800
00:50:53,730 --> 00:50:57,830
tonight and I'm happy to pay
for it. If you let me do it.

801
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,740
So I just think we've got to do
something and we got to do it

802
00:51:00,750 --> 00:51:02,790
fast. And that doesn't mean

803
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,550
legally that, you know, just
what can the district's to to

804
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,130
make everybody feel heard.
And

805
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:13,260
Phil better tonight and
tomorrow and the next level

806
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:17,520
while we figure out another
solution. So that's it. Thank

807
00:51:17,530 --> 00:51:17,760
you.

808
00:51:18,610 --> 00:51:19,420
Thank you, Kylie

809
00:51:22,410 --> 00:51:23,260
Katy brand.

810
00:51:35,390 --> 00:51:40,590
>> My name is Katie brand and I
have 2 kids wanted Broadwater

811
00:51:41,060 --> 00:51:43,020
and one at the Lewis.

812
00:51:44,190 --> 00:51:46,690
I don't normally speak in front
of people in pretty nervous.

813
00:51:47,570 --> 00:51:52,140
Certainly, I just also came
from the Broadwater elementary

814
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:54,220
community safety meeting in.

815
00:51:56,410 --> 00:51:59,320
But wait, there are a lot of
emotions at that meeting as I'm

816
00:51:59,330 --> 00:52:02,860
sure you can imagine. I I
greatly appreciate his

817
00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:06,290
appearance to doctor Garcia and

818
00:52:06,900 --> 00:52:10,720
trusty turkey. This the
responses that they've had on

819
00:52:10,730 --> 00:52:15,590
Friday. I imagine over the
weekend being there at 04:00PM

820
00:52:16,070 --> 00:52:18,790
right before this meeting.
I know these meetings are not

821
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,600
short. And so I really do
appreciate that. I think

822
00:52:22,610 --> 00:52:23,890
parents appreciate that.

823
00:52:24,380 --> 00:52:27,680
And we're asked right now to
balance like

824
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,810
to really needy.

825
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,710
I think like issues with this
one legislation

826
00:52:34,510 --> 00:52:37,430
which is feels really
impossible at this point.

827
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,110
And so far down the road.
And 2,

828
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:45,180
our children's daily lives and
safety my safety. I live a

829
00:52:45,190 --> 00:52:48,520
block. Half a block down from
that school. I walk down the

830
00:52:48,530 --> 00:52:53,240
streets. I pick make it up at
the playground. I

831
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:56,360
cried with some of the
teachers, you know, on Friday

832
00:52:56,370 --> 00:52:59,670
and this week, right. Yes, it
was really he did. And I hope

833
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,340
that you all know it's because
we care so deeply about our

834
00:53:03,350 --> 00:53:07,470
kids and also the kids in this
community and our state like

835
00:53:07,490 --> 00:53:10,390
this. What's impacting a
separate water. We're not

836
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,540
unique. I mean, it is unique
because it is currently

837
00:53:12,550 --> 00:53:15,910
happening just to us. But this
could be happening to anyone in

838
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,730
this city and it could happen
to anyone in the state.

839
00:53:19,220 --> 00:53:22,940
I don't I don't know what my
ask is right now. But I

840
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:25,550
certainly wanted to show up.
They wanted you guys to know

841
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,950
that we really, really
appreciate the work and we

842
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,100
really do care and we're ready
to dig in get after it. I don't

843
00:53:32,110 --> 00:53:34,740
know. That looks like we love
to file a civil lawsuit.

844
00:53:34,750 --> 00:53:37,980
You guys are lawyers. That's
okay. But like

845
00:53:38,620 --> 00:53:41,880
I walked away from that
thinking. We can't just rely on

846
00:53:41,890 --> 00:53:44,480
legislation we could think
we've got to put about 10

847
00:53:44,490 --> 00:53:47,390
different things going on out
there. That's like from the

848
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,760
parents, from the school
district. I'm not sure legally

849
00:53:49,770 --> 00:53:53,290
what the school district has to
be able to file a suit of some

850
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:56,930
sort, if you can sue. I get it
its resources. But like this

851
00:53:56,940 --> 00:53:59,880
feels really, really important
not just to our immediate

852
00:53:59,890 --> 00:54:03,480
community like our school but
also schools across the city

853
00:54:03,490 --> 00:54:08,030
and the state as well. So thank
you all for the years of work.

854
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,230
Actually that I want to
acknowledge like my children

855
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:14,060
were at the school when this
gentleman was first noticed.

856
00:54:14,070 --> 00:54:14,650
And

857
00:54:16,620 --> 00:54:19,760
and so I have been there for
the long haul as well. Like

858
00:54:19,770 --> 00:54:23,480
with my kids in that building
and I appreciate everyone's

859
00:54:23,490 --> 00:54:26,220
hard work. I know everyone is
also stretched really thin.

860
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:28,840
And this also still really
matters

861
00:54:29,390 --> 00:54:31,060
and a second. If we could have

862
00:54:32,300 --> 00:54:33,590
SRO or so.

863
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:39,170
SRO officers started out to the
afternoon there like walking

864
00:54:39,850 --> 00:54:43,600
presidents are principles
outside earlier today. I

865
00:54:43,610 --> 00:54:46,170
appreciate that about her.
She's also got a focus on the

866
00:54:46,180 --> 00:54:47,060
kids in school.

867
00:54:48,350 --> 00:54:49,660
Thank you very much.

868
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:52,650
Thank you for your comments.
Katie,

869
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:57,900
that is that is all I have for
public comment.

870
00:54:58,950 --> 00:55:02,230
>> We don't normally respond to
things that are on our agenda.

871
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:02,810
However,

872
00:55:03,790 --> 00:55:08,740
this is not just going away.
So we will be talking about all

873
00:55:08,750 --> 00:55:10,260
these things that were brought
it tonight.

874
00:55:13,020 --> 00:55:16,660
>> Yes, second. So just if it
was wondering looking through

875
00:55:16,670 --> 00:55:19,250
the agenda because obviously
this wasn't something that

876
00:55:19,260 --> 00:55:21,760
could be it could have been put
onto the agenda,

877
00:55:22,070 --> 00:55:25,270
but it does fit into a variety
of categories. Are we able to

878
00:55:25,970 --> 00:55:29,280
I have this partial discussion
under stakeholders are under

879
00:55:29,290 --> 00:55:31,140
because they get the incident

880
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,650
came to light on Friday.
It's Monday. The board meeting.

881
00:55:34,660 --> 00:55:38,450
We could have just inserted the
gender item. But can we

882
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,670
because we can talk about.
We've had parents who are

883
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,970
requesting to move out of the
school that's going to affect

884
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:46,660
our talk about rebalancing in
redistricting.

885
00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:50,290
So is there an item here that
is coupled to at this

886
00:55:50,300 --> 00:55:54,090
discussion into for some
immediate resource response.

887
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:55,870
I'm thinking it could be.

888
00:55:56,350 --> 00:55:58,080
>> So

889
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,710
were you thinking we want to
put that.

890
00:56:02,270 --> 00:56:05,670
>> Well, I was I mean, under
doctor says report. I mean,

891
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,440
we're talking about enrollment
trends.

892
00:56:07,940 --> 00:56:11,010
You know, I think it affects
the building capacities and

893
00:56:11,020 --> 00:56:14,910
it's a simple it's it's not a
stretch, but it's it's in there

894
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,070
and that's why we're also at
the top of the agenda. There's

895
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:17,710
nothing in the

896
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,770
in your report that I think
would fit stakeholders is also

897
00:56:21,780 --> 00:56:24,510
an option because I think
there's room in there that when

898
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,840
we're talking about the re
balancing of our room or

899
00:56:27,850 --> 00:56:29,770
determine there's not an
attachment that would be put to

900
00:56:29,780 --> 00:56:31,280
this. It is kind of an
emergency

901
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:32,600
response.

902
00:56:36,210 --> 00:56:38,400
Could we address it under
superintendents report.

903
00:56:39,770 --> 00:56:44,060
>> So just to be clear. But I
think because of the urgency of

904
00:56:44,070 --> 00:56:46,420
some of the matters
specifically related to growth

905
00:56:46,430 --> 00:56:50,560
water like a come provide an
update of where we are. I can

906
00:56:50,570 --> 00:56:53,360
absolutely talk about that.
I don't know that redistricting

907
00:56:53,370 --> 00:56:58,320
because seats it takes is more
action that would have to go to

908
00:56:58,330 --> 00:57:03,560
the agenda. The public has to
be noted a lease 48 hours in

909
00:57:03,570 --> 00:57:04,220
advance.

910
00:57:06,460 --> 00:57:09,280
I think the parents have made a
good effort to present their

911
00:57:09,290 --> 00:57:13,700
case an abortion. Listen to
that case. But I what

912
00:57:13,990 --> 00:57:16,780
feel that if we make a decision
on that topic. You in

913
00:57:16,790 --> 00:57:20,470
particular, we would be somehow
violating the

914
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:22,560
our board policies.

915
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,310
But you could give an update.
Yeah, yeah, OK, we will.

916
00:57:30,810 --> 00:57:33,720
>> The forward with that.
And that's not to say something

917
00:57:36,570 --> 00:57:39,280
100 of its car was brought
water.

918
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:42,600
I went abroad water.

919
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:50,000
>> As a kid and I don't want to
see any kids or teachers first

920
00:57:50,010 --> 00:57:52,390
parents, anyone who gets to go

921
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,190
get their kit at broader.
I want nothing happened to

922
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:56,780
them.

923
00:57:59,620 --> 00:58:02,970
So and like I agree with Zach.
This emergency.

924
00:58:04,190 --> 00:58:05,780
This needs to be handled.

925
00:58:07,170 --> 00:58:08,900
We've got to talk about it

926
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,160
and we can't wait.

927
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,060
We can't wait. Another 48 hours

928
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,180
just have to be addressed
before something does happen.

929
00:58:21,980 --> 00:58:23,120
These are kids

930
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,740
I love her and have to go
through it. I had to go

931
00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:28,420
through.

932
00:58:32,850 --> 00:58:35,000
I'm sorry if anything should
happen

933
00:58:36,370 --> 00:58:37,300
like this guy could

934
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,090
and shoot someone.

935
00:58:42,650 --> 00:58:44,030
I want to have a parent

936
00:58:45,490 --> 00:58:47,140
very in the child.

937
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,830
It's not an easy thing to go
through.

938
00:58:52,580 --> 00:58:54,800
We need to get this addressed.

939
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,220
I don't think anyone wants to
talk about that. I mean,

940
00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:04,660
to go there. But.

941
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:10,820
>> There aren't a lot of things
that we can do. But we

942
00:59:11,390 --> 00:59:16,250
can, you know, try to mitigate
the severity of the situation,

943
00:59:16,260 --> 00:59:20,300
but we can't change law all by
yourself so weird.

944
00:59:22,250 --> 00:59:23,190
It's so frustrating.

945
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,780
What can we do. We're trying to
come up with something.

946
00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:33,270
>> I understand the open
meeting laws and not being able

947
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,790
to take a specific action
tonight,

948
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:41,390
but to have a discussion for
the possibility of

949
00:59:41,870 --> 00:59:45,790
potential immediate action not
making a decision tonight,

950
00:59:45,980 --> 00:59:47,990
but finding a middle ground
where we could have that

951
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,210
discussion as a board

952
00:59:51,710 --> 00:59:53,250
to push towards that direction.

953
00:59:53,370 --> 00:59:55,600
>> I think that that's
absolutely okay. Yeah. Yeah.

954
00:59:55,610 --> 00:59:58,640
That's what I stated at the
beginning. We can have that

955
00:59:58,650 --> 01:00:03,390
conversation is my concern is
on the redistricting action,

956
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,490
not on the conversation about
growth water.

957
01:00:07,210 --> 01:00:10,520
Right. So we'll talk about for
the current brought the first

958
01:00:10,530 --> 01:00:13,940
issue. Correct. Yeah, right,
right, right, right. So I mean,

959
01:00:13,950 --> 01:00:17,520
just waiting for you to ask me
and I'll respond. If you want

960
01:00:17,530 --> 01:00:19,730
to hear more about from the
district's some point what

961
01:00:19,740 --> 01:00:24,570
we're doing. I didn't read it
and I allowed to speak about

962
01:00:24,580 --> 01:00:28,160
that. You want me to wait.
Want to go ahead, OK, this

963
01:00:28,170 --> 01:00:31,800
variant. Yeah. So I'm just to
give you a timeline. I don't

964
01:00:31,810 --> 01:00:33,670
know how many of you are
familiar with this particular

965
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,780
case. I'm pretty sure you are
so

966
01:00:36,290 --> 01:00:43,380
starting to 2023 I'm about to
meet August. We had

967
01:00:45,540 --> 01:00:48,270
work with the CD and law
enforcement.

968
01:00:49,470 --> 01:00:52,520
Many of you are up race of that
information since you were

969
01:00:52,530 --> 01:00:53,520
first East but them

970
01:00:54,070 --> 01:00:56,460
some of you were not trustees
who probably don't have all the

971
01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:58,580
information. That's why I want
to make any assumptions.

972
01:00:59,470 --> 01:01:05,920
>> And we know that week over
the the fence, the the front of

973
01:01:05,930 --> 01:01:08,770
the school. We moved the kids
back. We had Reese's on the

974
01:01:08,780 --> 01:01:10,490
back of the of the building.

975
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:16,100
We change their schedule to
ensure that kids were not the

976
01:01:16,110 --> 01:01:20,040
silly out there. We have as
heroes monitoring the situation

977
01:01:20,620 --> 01:01:26,260
and all of a sudden that
neighbor was arrested it and

978
01:01:26,270 --> 01:01:29,520
was in custody for about 2 to 3
years

979
01:01:30,150 --> 01:01:35,760
and of the 9 to quit Court of
Appeals. 3 judges actually

980
01:01:35,770 --> 01:01:36,700
review the case

981
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,260
and they found that there was a
loophole

982
01:01:39,940 --> 01:01:45,640
that moment on a low base on
the 2021 conceal gun carry

983
01:01:45,650 --> 01:01:46,230
permit

984
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,200
remove some of the federal

985
01:01:50,830 --> 01:01:54,090
power re regarding the buffer
or

986
01:01:54,620 --> 01:01:57,360
look, if you cations rig
regarding the school zones.

987
01:01:57,900 --> 01:02:01,620
So somehow we had to have some
sort of

988
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:07,670
the other in the background
check or in the process of that

989
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,100
person getting that conceal
license

990
01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:13,620
that the person was 95, that
that person couldn't walk

991
01:02:13,630 --> 01:02:16,900
towards a school within 1000
feet. Now there's some

992
01:02:16,910 --> 01:02:20,450
limitations on the 1000 feet
rule. One of those limitations

993
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:22,410
is that if the person

994
01:02:23,060 --> 01:02:27,470
lives with the that 1000 feet
that they can actually have a

995
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:27,850
weapon.

996
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:33,800
So as we do based on what I
hear the gentleman not only was

997
01:02:33,810 --> 01:02:36,560
within these limits, his
property limits. But he walked

998
01:02:36,570 --> 01:02:36,990
out

999
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,990
and he was on the road and he
was arrested.

1000
01:02:41,890 --> 01:02:43,340
So after the

1001
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,040
a federal judge is looking to
that case. He was finally

1002
01:02:47,050 --> 01:02:50,630
arrested. And then of course,
you know, he was this makes his

1003
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,090
case was dismissed

1004
01:02:52,420 --> 01:02:56,820
and the judge and the one that
did the opinion. She mention,

1005
01:02:56,830 --> 01:02:57,150
too.

1006
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:00,370
He mentioned that he was a
loophole

1007
01:03:01,210 --> 01:03:07,100
and actually that was Van D***,
Laurens Van D***. He made the

1008
01:03:07,110 --> 01:03:08,930
opinion. He said there was a
loophole

1009
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:13,080
and then Montana had to change
notification laws because

1010
01:03:13,090 --> 01:03:16,870
according to what was explained
to us in the meeting tonight.

1011
01:03:17,420 --> 01:03:21,880
You don't have to have a
license to have concealed carry

1012
01:03:22,490 --> 01:03:24,790
in Montana. You can conceal
carry

1013
01:03:26,370 --> 01:03:31,820
so Mister neighbor he has he
has been seen actually, I watch

1014
01:03:31,830 --> 01:03:35,230
him the day of the when this
was reported to us,

1015
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:40,030
this was reported to us about
07:27:30AM. And I was in the

1016
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,790
area and I drove by his house
and I saw him

1017
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:49,630
ISO him with a weapon high
caliber weapon. He had a face

1018
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:50,200
mask.

1019
01:03:50,780 --> 01:03:52,450
He had a houthi

1020
01:03:53,230 --> 01:03:54,000
and

1021
01:03:55,710 --> 01:03:58,150
completely unacceptable.
And this is the time where kids

1022
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,420
are supposed to go to school.
We're talking about 7, 2730,

1023
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:07,940
immediately. We went back to
the school and we called the

1024
01:04:07,950 --> 01:04:11,890
U.S. rose. We have. The answer
was patrolling and they have

1025
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:15,620
been patrolling the school.
They have been at the perimeter

1026
01:04:15,630 --> 01:04:16,310
of the school

1027
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,810
now is not their job to report
to us. When are they there?

1028
01:04:19,820 --> 01:04:20,650
When are they

1029
01:04:21,330 --> 01:04:23,400
monitoring the situation
because remember,

1030
01:04:23,930 --> 01:04:28,300
federal judges gave these
person his freedom. So he's not

1031
01:04:28,310 --> 01:04:30,540
doing anything illegal. And by
the way,

1032
01:04:31,650 --> 01:04:34,650
do I agree with the judges.
Of course not. But am I an

1033
01:04:34,660 --> 01:04:37,160
attorney and a judge to have
really

1034
01:04:38,170 --> 01:04:40,910
the knowledge to challenge
that. No.

1035
01:04:42,100 --> 01:04:47,100
So principal called has taken a
lot of actions. She has a

1036
01:04:47,110 --> 01:04:51,520
program that is kind of walking
school bus. We go to a nearby

1037
01:04:51,530 --> 01:04:56,540
Park, we move the kids. She had
to change the the kids walking

1038
01:04:56,550 --> 01:05:00,380
toward the school that she had
to change shift that route.

1039
01:05:00,870 --> 01:05:03,460
So kids wouldn't be able to see
the neighbor.

1040
01:05:05,610 --> 01:05:07,810
I immediately contacted my

1041
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:11,820
legislators. The ones that have
been working on this case for

1042
01:05:11,830 --> 01:05:13,050
the past 3 years

1043
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:17,520
and I can mention some of their
names that these bomb, senator

1044
01:05:17,530 --> 01:05:18,340
Jack a witch

1045
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:21,900
we have been in contact with
the city attorney

1046
01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:23,240
all this time

1047
01:05:23,780 --> 01:05:28,210
trying to find a way to prepare
when his neighbor with com

1048
01:05:28,650 --> 01:05:32,200
to our community and if he's
going he was going to use

1049
01:05:32,610 --> 01:05:35,170
his weapons and he was going to
be visible to us.

1050
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,170
We didn't know if he was going
to be released for a moment.

1051
01:05:38,180 --> 01:05:41,460
I thought he had moved. He
wasn't there anymore. Like I

1052
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:43,210
didn't know he was living
there.

1053
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:44,960
Sure enough, his back.

1054
01:05:47,010 --> 01:05:51,960
We have the the tarp situation.
That was the the same Friday

1055
01:05:51,970 --> 01:05:55,670
that was given to the
facilities. Department are

1056
01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:01,290
working on the tarp to be able
to cover the premises today.

1057
01:06:01,300 --> 01:06:03,750
Some parents give some feedback
about this missile that would

1058
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,170
like to see this Minnesota
being done on the back, which

1059
01:06:06,180 --> 01:06:07,350
is absolutely okay.

1060
01:06:09,090 --> 01:06:11,990
So feed that it was a lot of
positive feedback given to

1061
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,460
principal called things that

1062
01:06:14,620 --> 01:06:18,420
that we have to do to ensure we
do our part.

1063
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,940
This is the peas where some
fans were frustrated and

1064
01:06:22,950 --> 01:06:25,880
shooting off. Why not. Why
would they be frustrated.

1065
01:06:27,570 --> 01:06:31,940
But what else is going to
happen. This guy is still there

1066
01:06:33,530 --> 01:06:36,090
and that is when things can
become a little bit more

1067
01:06:36,100 --> 01:06:39,620
complicated. You know, we had
some ideas. Some people say why

1068
01:06:39,630 --> 01:06:42,710
don't you buildable a wall will
find race for the wall.

1069
01:06:43,980 --> 01:06:47,410
You know, that seems to be a
good idea, right.

1070
01:06:48,020 --> 01:06:51,480
But I mention that that was a
board decision that building a

1071
01:06:51,490 --> 01:06:53,760
wall that size is not

1072
01:06:54,170 --> 01:06:57,650
it's not going to be the what
is not going to be up next week

1073
01:06:58,260 --> 01:06:59,340
and this is not

1074
01:06:59,780 --> 01:07:02,690
big. As I understand what
boards have to go through.

1075
01:07:02,700 --> 01:07:05,860
I know you have to have a
quote. You have to have you

1076
01:07:05,870 --> 01:07:08,610
have to you have to follow a
process to

1077
01:07:09,230 --> 01:07:11,680
to get us to where we build the
wall,

1078
01:07:12,180 --> 01:07:12,890
however,

1079
01:07:13,530 --> 01:07:14,840
is the world a solution.

1080
01:07:16,930 --> 01:07:18,180
You know, you build a wall.

1081
01:07:18,630 --> 01:07:20,050
It's not still have to go home,

1082
01:07:21,690 --> 01:07:25,370
get seals, have to pass by that
neighbor a block away. 2 blocks

1083
01:07:25,380 --> 01:07:26,510
away, 3 blocks away.

1084
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:35,160
The real solution is if Montana
is able to create laws or to

1085
01:07:35,170 --> 01:07:37,020
just current loss.

1086
01:07:37,710 --> 01:07:43,090
So the gun-free zone school
buffer. He's protected

1087
01:07:45,510 --> 01:07:51,130
that there's some way for us to
get our our voices heard

1088
01:07:51,670 --> 01:07:54,450
and I encourage the families
abroad water

1089
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,250
with pushback, of course,

1090
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:01,560
to sign some sort of resolution
communication or not. And so we

1091
01:08:01,570 --> 01:08:02,590
demand action.

1092
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:07,040
Okay. That we demand action
from the legislators to the

1093
01:08:07,050 --> 01:08:11,710
governor to the this attorney.
I'm sorry to the state attorney

1094
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,290
and we gathered 30400
signatures. We

1095
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:17,960
we make arguments

1096
01:08:18,490 --> 01:08:19,820
to

1097
01:08:20,440 --> 01:08:21,190
to the state.

1098
01:08:22,230 --> 01:08:23,210
You know,

1099
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:25,960
there's frustration, but

1100
01:08:26,340 --> 01:08:29,870
I mean, I can go to this
gentleman's House and

1101
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:33,210
anything this. I have no power.
He's going to you that

1102
01:08:33,220 --> 01:08:36,360
arresting him. That's the first
thing he's going to say because

1103
01:08:36,370 --> 01:08:39,340
he's intentional. He's making
these decisions. He wants to be

1104
01:08:39,350 --> 01:08:40,530
there at 7.30

1105
01:08:41,630 --> 01:08:44,030
allegedly he was an out there
today.

1106
01:08:45,250 --> 01:08:47,060
So he wasn't out there today.

1107
01:08:47,660 --> 01:08:51,170
Is he going to be there
tomorrow. I hear when parents

1108
01:08:51,180 --> 01:08:53,080
are frustrated about school
shootings.

1109
01:08:53,660 --> 01:08:56,180
We don't want this to become a
statistic.

1110
01:08:56,860 --> 01:08:59,420
But I don't know if we can bear
the burden.

1111
01:09:01,340 --> 01:09:04,850
I mean, if you think about
solutions to really eradicate

1112
01:09:04,860 --> 01:09:06,130
these issue. Now.

1113
01:09:07,330 --> 01:09:11,140
I think shock actually brought
the best solution for were shot

1114
01:09:11,150 --> 01:09:11,950
down the school.

1115
01:09:12,810 --> 01:09:14,220
No kid goes to that school

1116
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,300
because I mean, we really want
all the kids from that

1117
01:09:18,310 --> 01:09:20,460
community to no experience
these neighbor.

1118
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,090
Maybe that's the action that we
need to take.

1119
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,310
Now there's other issues
associated with that.

1120
01:09:26,970 --> 01:09:29,370
You know, we don't have
capacity in our buildings to

1121
01:09:29,380 --> 01:09:30,640
move 280 kids.

1122
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:34,310
We don't have the resources to
transport those kits,

1123
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,410
let alone. We are struggling to
find drivers for buses. Now we

1124
01:09:38,420 --> 01:09:39,310
have to transport.

1125
01:09:40,110 --> 01:09:43,570
We have to find classroom spate
literally classroom space for

1126
01:09:43,580 --> 01:09:45,430
special education classes.

1127
01:09:47,340 --> 01:09:49,820
And even if we make all of
those decision. We shut down

1128
01:09:49,830 --> 01:09:53,440
the school and we make those
decisions that gentleman is

1129
01:09:53,450 --> 01:09:54,590
going to be a neighbor

1130
01:09:55,530 --> 01:09:59,170
2 weeks from now. A month from
now, 2 weeks from now, 3 months

1131
01:09:59,180 --> 01:10:02,020
from now, 6 months from now
he's still be a neighbor.

1132
01:10:02,290 --> 01:10:03,740
What are we going to do with
the school.

1133
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:09,400
What happened seat legislative
the legislators are not willing

1134
01:10:09,410 --> 01:10:12,340
to make this decision. By the
way, you think legislators are

1135
01:10:12,350 --> 01:10:15,900
going to push back. You have
community members,

1136
01:10:16,990 --> 01:10:17,960
even parents

1137
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,640
that believe this guy is doing
nothing wrong.

1138
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,080
That heat is waiving his right
that he's not affecting anybody

1139
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,080
which is completely absurd.

1140
01:10:31,210 --> 01:10:34,420
And the example I gave. Well,
yeah. Sometimes things are

1141
01:10:34,430 --> 01:10:36,670
legal, but they're not the
right things to do.

1142
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,060
So is it legal for you to have
a weapon of home.

1143
01:10:41,310 --> 01:10:44,400
You know, look, I'm locked and
loaded and your kids have

1144
01:10:44,410 --> 01:10:46,970
access to it. Is that legal?
Yeah.

1145
01:10:47,450 --> 01:10:52,090
Is that the right thing to do.
Is it legal to have your weapon

1146
01:10:52,100 --> 01:10:56,620
under the car and Unilever cut
your car outside is illegal.

1147
01:10:56,660 --> 01:10:58,930
Well, you can do that. But he's
not the right thing to do.

1148
01:10:58,940 --> 01:11:03,060
How many people have died in
these community because of

1149
01:11:03,670 --> 01:11:04,750
this is legal.

1150
01:11:05,750 --> 01:11:08,160
But we know it's not the right
thing to do.

1151
01:11:09,260 --> 01:11:11,630
These person shouldn't be

1152
01:11:12,570 --> 01:11:15,670
with allowed to be within 1000
feet of school

1153
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,390
with his weapon in front of a
school

1154
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,460
out of their mental health
problems. Well, I don't know.

1155
01:11:24,580 --> 01:11:28,290
But if you need me down your
lawnmower with a shotgun.

1156
01:11:29,650 --> 01:11:32,590
Kneeling down and raising your
hands. And that shut down the 2

1157
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:33,390
front of you.

1158
01:11:34,470 --> 01:11:38,020
That's not that's not the
behavior that I see with people

1159
01:11:38,030 --> 01:11:39,950
protecting their second
Amendment rights.

1160
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:42,130
You know, I see people
exercising their second

1161
01:11:42,140 --> 01:11:43,580
Amendment rights, a hunt.

1162
01:11:44,340 --> 01:11:46,740
They protect themselves.
They do it the right way.

1163
01:11:47,850 --> 01:11:50,890
But I wonder is does the
Montano way when these people

1164
01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:54,670
are protecting this gentleman
is that the Montano? Is that

1165
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,370
what we want a guy

1166
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,020
in his 40's 50's

1167
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:02,170
seeing kids coming to school

1168
01:12:02,930 --> 01:12:06,140
and then you showing them that
you have that right. That is

1169
01:12:06,150 --> 01:12:07,190
absolutely

1170
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:08,920
absurd.

1171
01:12:10,350 --> 01:12:14,340
And I hope that whoever is
listening to this, that they

1172
01:12:14,350 --> 01:12:15,700
that that stops.

1173
01:12:16,370 --> 01:12:18,880
Do I have the power to stop it.
No.

1174
01:12:19,900 --> 01:12:23,620
Do you have the power to stop
it. No, but we can take action.

1175
01:12:24,580 --> 01:12:25,420
And the action

1176
01:12:26,330 --> 01:12:29,350
in my opinion, these
legislative action,

1177
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:35,070
you might argue about the wall.
I you know, I can see pros and

1178
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:39,620
cons. You know, I I don't know
if that's the solution to this.

1179
01:12:40,430 --> 01:12:41,740
If the wall is the solution.

1180
01:12:42,490 --> 01:12:44,900
So with that, I want to stop.

1181
01:12:45,420 --> 01:12:47,870
We're trying to get some
traction. We met with the media

1182
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,030
twice today. I've been in and
out of the building as well and

1183
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,190
being monitoring the area
swell,

1184
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:58,860
the teachers of Broadwater has
been phenomenal. The principal

1185
01:12:58,870 --> 01:12:59,960
has done a great job.

1186
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,090
I know there's some things that
we can tweak things that we can

1187
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:04,520
improve on. Of course

1188
01:13:07,820 --> 01:13:10,140
we need action. We need we need

1189
01:13:10,690 --> 01:13:14,290
the district attorney's office
to find a way to limit this

1190
01:13:14,300 --> 01:13:19,720
guy's access to his gun
specially right in front of

1191
01:13:19,730 --> 01:13:21,800
that school that these to stop
today.

1192
01:13:22,450 --> 01:13:24,690
I don't have the power to do
that. I don't know if you do

1193
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,050
and I'm willing to hear your
ideas on the topic.

1194
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:37,170
>> 2 things on Friday and I
talked a couple on Friday like

1195
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:39,890
I was beyond frustrated as a
parent,

1196
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:42,680
you know, in 5 months

1197
01:13:43,260 --> 01:13:46,670
I've talked to my 9 year-old my
12 year-old about

1198
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:50,030
more death that has ever
happened in my family.

1199
01:13:52,290 --> 01:13:55,200
My 12 year-old has been related
to every incident affected

1200
01:13:55,210 --> 01:13:56,140
Lewis and Clark are in

1201
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:58,860
classmates.

1202
01:13:59,350 --> 01:14:00,440
>> Teachers.

1203
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,160
>> In this incident. None of
this is normal and we are

1204
01:14:05,170 --> 01:14:08,270
normalizing this in this
community. This is not a

1205
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,610
healthy community. I've lived
all over this country. They're

1206
01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:12,890
wonderful, wonderful people

1207
01:14:13,540 --> 01:14:14,260
in this community.

1208
01:14:14,930 --> 01:14:16,000
But I'm telling you,

1209
01:14:16,430 --> 01:14:17,830
this is not normal

1210
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,270
in many, many ways. It's just
not. I mean, in this is so

1211
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:25,070
Friday. I was

1212
01:14:27,590 --> 01:14:30,660
with the situation and the
reality is trustees. There's

1213
01:14:30,670 --> 01:14:33,590
something I got a short-term
recommendation. And then in the

1214
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:34,280
long term,

1215
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:37,710
there has to be change in this
community and it's only going

1216
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,950
to take action of a lot of
people who go. Yeah, because it

1217
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:45,200
is absurd to me that we're
literally doing this exact same

1218
01:14:45,210 --> 01:14:45,550
thing

1219
01:14:46,210 --> 01:14:46,910
3 years later.

1220
01:14:48,620 --> 01:14:49,310
Absurd.

1221
01:14:50,030 --> 01:14:53,390
It's not acceptable in any way,
shape or form

1222
01:14:55,260 --> 01:14:57,350
that we're doing this twice,

1223
01:14:57,970 --> 01:15:00,770
but we're doing it twice
because we're not asking people

1224
01:15:00,780 --> 01:15:02,450
to behave differently

1225
01:15:04,430 --> 01:15:08,300
on November. 3rd, you can
literally change our entire

1226
01:15:08,310 --> 01:15:12,430
federal Congress, 435
representatives are up for

1227
01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:13,100
reelection

1228
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:15,910
in this state.

1229
01:15:16,540 --> 01:15:18,730
There are all kinds of people
if they're not going to see.

1230
01:15:18,740 --> 01:15:21,460
And because we just had a
conversation with the the

1231
01:15:21,470 --> 01:15:23,900
governor coming down with a
sign that said protect our

1232
01:15:23,910 --> 01:15:25,420
children from social media.

1233
01:15:26,020 --> 01:15:30,530
Social media is harming our
children. Guns are killing our

1234
01:15:30,540 --> 01:15:31,050
kids.

1235
01:15:33,140 --> 01:15:35,090
That's the conversation I'm
having with my kids

1236
01:15:37,420 --> 01:15:39,570
and we can take care of that at
our house on how they handle

1237
01:15:39,580 --> 01:15:42,090
their phones. But I was
elevated and I said shut the

1238
01:15:42,100 --> 01:15:44,450
school down. If we want to
absolutely guarantee that this

1239
01:15:44,460 --> 01:15:45,570
guy can't do anything to kids.

1240
01:15:46,190 --> 01:15:48,410
We closed brought water and
remove these kids are out.

1241
01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:52,140
That isn't guaranteed fix for
an incident happening on that

1242
01:15:52,150 --> 01:15:54,900
site. It isn't it served move,

1243
01:15:56,570 --> 01:16:00,440
but it would also do what has
done to us is put pressure

1244
01:16:00,450 --> 01:16:03,410
where the pressure needs to go
because the only way decisions

1245
01:16:03,420 --> 01:16:06,590
get made when they're not in a
decision-making session is by

1246
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:07,140
pressure

1247
01:16:08,610 --> 01:16:11,710
and that would provide pressure
that national news would show

1248
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,190
up and say you're shutting
schools down because we have

1249
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,000
these laws and but it would
create an unfortunate and not

1250
01:16:18,010 --> 01:16:20,390
needed situation for kids and
education, especially

1251
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,840
elementary elementary school
students and their families

1252
01:16:23,660 --> 01:16:25,370
but saying it to me is
important.

1253
01:16:25,950 --> 01:16:28,480
But when does this stop.
We're right back here again in

1254
01:16:28,490 --> 01:16:33,140
3 years in this body has no
control over that other than

1255
01:16:33,150 --> 01:16:34,160
what we do. A substance.

1256
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,130
There's not much we can.
We can build a wall.

1257
01:16:39,910 --> 01:16:41,870
What are we doing for Lewis.
What do we do if we have an

1258
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,770
incident West in a week or 2,
we build another wall. What we

1259
01:16:44,780 --> 01:16:48,010
do it. It's not a sustainable
solution. The community has to

1260
01:16:48,020 --> 01:16:50,240
be healthier, which is out of
our control

1261
01:16:51,370 --> 01:16:53,750
and that's that has to come
from somewhere else.

1262
01:16:55,230 --> 01:16:58,660
It feels hard to be so
handcuffed in the situation

1263
01:16:58,670 --> 01:17:02,240
that we're not able to to do
something else because this is

1264
01:17:02,250 --> 01:17:04,790
its absurdity that we're
dealing with the same thing

1265
01:17:05,330 --> 01:17:05,920
a second time.

1266
01:17:06,730 --> 01:17:10,590
We spent massive quantities of
time on this the first time and

1267
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:15,120
stress in parents being upset
in moving kids for weeks on end

1268
01:17:15,130 --> 01:17:17,550
until this got taken care of
and it was much more elevated

1269
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:18,000
at that time.

1270
01:17:18,730 --> 01:17:21,150
This is uncomfortable once
again, we're normalizing

1271
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:22,770
because we've seen it before,

1272
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,080
but there were parents there
today who hadn't seen that

1273
01:17:26,090 --> 01:17:27,580
before and they're moving their
cuts

1274
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:29,470
out of the school.

1275
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,760
So we are going to make
accommodations. It's going to

1276
01:17:32,770 --> 01:17:35,600
cost us resources. The
recommendation. I have cause a

1277
01:17:35,610 --> 01:17:38,500
much, Daniel, I do this because
she's going to not enjoy this.

1278
01:17:38,510 --> 01:17:38,890
But

1279
01:17:39,420 --> 01:17:42,570
is it we can make a motion to
make an adjustment. But doctor

1280
01:17:42,580 --> 01:17:45,420
Garcia is it available to shift
resources. And I think it be

1281
01:17:45,430 --> 01:17:46,220
nice to see

1282
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,060
from Joe Halligan principal
Cole like what do they need to

1283
01:17:51,070 --> 01:17:54,880
get done tomorrow for the kids.
And if doctor Garcia can bring

1284
01:17:54,890 --> 01:17:56,230
to us next meeting

1285
01:17:56,870 --> 01:18:00,580
a multi-district adjustment
that says we're going to spend

1286
01:18:00,590 --> 01:18:03,930
resources which has access to
another fund and we can

1287
01:18:03,940 --> 01:18:07,760
backfill that we have $324,000
was made in interest on the

1288
01:18:07,770 --> 01:18:10,100
loans money. That's going back
into the multi-district.

1289
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,440
I'm not making a motion and
making a recommendation that we

1290
01:18:14,450 --> 01:18:16,830
spend the resources on the
recommendations from the 2

1291
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,830
people on the ground tomorrow,
too funding. We need to fund.

1292
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,820
We backfill that with the
multi-district thank to

1293
01:18:22,830 --> 01:18:24,110
recommendations on emotion.

1294
01:18:25,530 --> 01:18:29,320
>> Tonight, a good Jo Jo, can
you come forward and Rachel,

1295
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:36,380
so the question for you, Joe
and we you and I were on the

1296
01:18:36,390 --> 01:18:39,530
phone being on the fun for
them. You know, let's be use of

1297
01:18:39,540 --> 01:18:41,410
time discussing this is
incident.

1298
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:47,250
So can you providers not data.
Well, as her presidents and the

1299
01:18:47,260 --> 01:18:48,700
tarp. Thank you. So.

1300
01:18:49,330 --> 01:18:52,390
>> Since it was reported Friday
and SRO presence has been

1301
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:56,070
increased. Broadwater has been
a permanent fixture. We're a

1302
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,640
little bit strapped right now.
We're down a couple of guys,

1303
01:18:58,650 --> 01:19:01,830
but officer after has been
there both days Friday and

1304
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:06,010
Monday and then as far as
actions being taken as early as

1305
01:19:06,020 --> 01:19:08,340
tomorrow morning. Jars fence is
going to be coming out to

1306
01:19:08,350 --> 01:19:10,780
install that is that the black

1307
01:19:11,780 --> 01:19:14,500
black tar. But it's basically
the wind can go through.

1308
01:19:14,510 --> 01:19:16,150
But you can't really see
through it. So they're going

1309
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,630
stall that long. The Broadwater
side of that cast on pence.

1310
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:20,010
Thank you.

1311
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,320
>> Thank you. And Rachel.
What do you need from the

1312
01:19:24,330 --> 01:19:27,040
administration. What do you
need from these board when it

1313
01:19:27,050 --> 01:19:29,470
comes to resources or anything
that you would like to see the

1314
01:19:29,480 --> 01:19:29,900
front.

1315
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,360
>> How the parents recommended
this evening to adjust the

1316
01:19:34,370 --> 01:19:37,150
dismissal in recess times on me
which how again tomorrow

1317
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:38,420
morning and make a plan.

1318
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,470
>> As it turns out, I was
principal abroad, water or in

1319
01:19:43,480 --> 01:19:46,930
the reconstruction renovation.
So we had to do this anyway.

1320
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,930
We had to have plans in place
too dismissed from the north

1321
01:19:49,940 --> 01:19:52,880
side because our entire South
playground was staging area for

1322
01:19:52,890 --> 01:19:55,060
construction. So I think we'll
be able to meet tomorrow

1323
01:19:55,070 --> 01:19:57,270
morning, come up with some some
plans to.

1324
01:19:58,010 --> 01:20:00,130
>> And every day. And even
though I'm not an officer,

1325
01:20:00,140 --> 01:20:03,650
but I'll be rotating through
the school. And I do that very

1326
01:20:03,660 --> 01:20:07,130
often. I drive up and down and
checking to see, you know,

1327
01:20:07,140 --> 01:20:09,660
a cbd. And if I see something
that needs to be reported.

1328
01:20:09,670 --> 01:20:13,320
I will absolutely report it.
I know gas Miska ski has been

1329
01:20:13,330 --> 01:20:17,450
very hands on. And Kyra came
Anthony has been very hands on.

1330
01:20:17,870 --> 01:20:21,490
You don't supporting the
principal monitoring, you know,

1331
01:20:21,500 --> 01:20:24,860
opening the doors for kids
providing support to MS.

1332
01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:27,760
Gusty couldn't be there today
because she had a situation to

1333
01:20:27,770 --> 01:20:28,260
address

1334
01:20:28,730 --> 01:20:34,330
but will be providing support
for school so she can get,

1335
01:20:34,340 --> 01:20:35,960
you know what you need to get
done at the school.

1336
01:20:42,290 --> 01:20:46,330
>> Any other questions or
Caesar Theresa, I think because

1337
01:20:46,340 --> 01:20:48,660
the limitations that we have
been discussing and making

1338
01:20:48,670 --> 01:20:51,890
decisions could be helpful if
you do need our help or

1339
01:20:51,900 --> 01:20:56,130
approval of anything to call an
emergency meeting. Give proper

1340
01:20:56,140 --> 01:20:58,690
notice we can continue the
discussion and make some

1341
01:20:58,700 --> 01:20:59,320
decisions.

1342
01:21:00,630 --> 01:21:01,680
Thank you. Absolutely.

1343
01:21:04,940 --> 01:21:07,040
>> But on the calendar for
Thursday or Friday. And as soon

1344
01:21:07,050 --> 01:21:10,420
as they need us. Guys got to be
there. We have a lot about this

1345
01:21:10,430 --> 01:21:12,740
as soon as ready to have a
conversation, please, please,

1346
01:21:12,750 --> 01:21:13,840
please. Let's have a
conversation.

1347
01:21:18,110 --> 01:21:18,960
His comments.

1348
01:21:20,940 --> 01:21:23,500
>> I think everyone this is not
something we want to even deal

1349
01:21:23,510 --> 01:21:28,260
with. But unfortunately we do.
And so thank you for you're

1350
01:21:28,270 --> 01:21:30,610
doing extra Garcia and on

1351
01:21:31,450 --> 01:21:33,940
and that puts off. Thank you.
And Joe.

1352
01:21:35,330 --> 01:21:37,760
>> We have a next step and that
is who we are working with

1353
01:21:37,770 --> 01:21:38,960
Kylie anywhere you

1354
01:21:40,220 --> 01:21:43,130
we worked with County and
whoever, you know, there's a

1355
01:21:43,140 --> 01:21:46,010
group of parents that we're
going to crafts communication

1356
01:21:46,020 --> 01:21:48,310
and we're going to allow
parents to sign that

1357
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:54,410
communication if perhaps it is
a community

1358
01:21:54,790 --> 01:21:59,230
communication, then we would
and we will ask you to sign it

1359
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,850
as individuals. It is a
district. Why communication?

1360
01:22:02,860 --> 01:22:07,010
Of course I would like to have
your support to get that send

1361
01:22:07,020 --> 01:22:08,500
out to our media partners and

1362
01:22:09,170 --> 01:22:11,700
the governor, the

1363
01:22:12,250 --> 01:22:15,770
attorney general and, you know,

1364
01:22:16,380 --> 01:22:20,210
City Council members and
legislators and anything we can

1365
01:22:20,220 --> 01:22:23,980
do to get make of the manse
clear.

1366
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:28,230
I'll be working with Islam are
some that. Thank you.

1367
01:22:32,070 --> 01:22:33,770
Well, if you will be working on
this.

1368
01:22:36,970 --> 01:22:40,500
Okay. I'm going to move on.
Back to the agenda.

1369
01:22:41,070 --> 01:22:44,670
We have the board chair's
report. The first item is our

1370
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,420
the tif districts got

1371
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,750
Zac and Jordan give a report
from your tip district.

1372
01:22:51,550 --> 01:22:55,200
>> The espera committee did not
meet this past month. Okay.

1373
01:22:55,210 --> 01:22:56,000
Nothing to report

1374
01:22:57,550 --> 01:22:59,430
that same for the road, OK,

1375
01:23:00,020 --> 01:23:02,130
the downtown partnership

1376
01:23:03,150 --> 01:23:07,360
tif did meet. They had to tip
applications and

1377
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,780
perhaps you've already heard
about one was the Babcock

1378
01:23:10,790 --> 01:23:14,430
theater. He's asking for tiff
assistance and it did go to the

1379
01:23:14,440 --> 01:23:18,010
City Council and it was
approved with conditions,

1380
01:23:18,020 --> 01:23:21,520
but it was proved the other
one. As I mentioned this last

1381
01:23:21,530 --> 01:23:22,470
month about

1382
01:23:22,870 --> 01:23:27,870
there are 11 properties on
railroad land that

1383
01:23:28,410 --> 01:23:31,170
cannot to move forward with
renovation

1384
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:33,950
because they can't get a lease

1385
01:23:34,620 --> 01:23:39,120
final ice with railroad.
And so there is a proposal

1386
01:23:40,020 --> 01:23:43,340
with the railroad to buy all 11
properties

1387
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:45,740
for one price

1388
01:23:48,410 --> 01:23:49,610
by December 7th.

1389
01:23:49,770 --> 01:23:52,600
You have to have this done by
December 7th, which is is

1390
01:23:52,610 --> 01:23:52,980
really,

1391
01:23:54,380 --> 01:23:58,490
but they're working on it to
try to get together a proposal.

1392
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:04,250
And the idea is to buy the
properties with tip money

1393
01:24:05,050 --> 01:24:07,230
and have it in place

1394
01:24:07,950 --> 01:24:11,690
by cells from the owners of
buildings on the property.

1395
01:24:11,700 --> 01:24:13,850
So it would be just certified

1396
01:24:14,410 --> 01:24:16,120
trance transfer.

1397
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,250
That's what they're working.
So

1398
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:22,760
are there any questions on
that.

1399
01:24:25,140 --> 01:24:26,490
I questions

1400
01:24:27,370 --> 01:24:29,030
it would have Andrea here.
But.

1401
01:24:29,830 --> 01:24:34,840
>> Asking for Andrea. Okay.
So I guess, you know, recent in

1402
01:24:34,850 --> 01:24:37,320
the last week or so. They've
talked about the big pullback

1403
01:24:37,330 --> 01:24:41,890
on slowing down in national
international. And you know

1404
01:24:41,900 --> 01:24:44,630
that this needs to get broken
with some of the breaches and

1405
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,430
that several things that are
going on. I mean.

1406
01:24:48,410 --> 01:24:52,440
>> Where where we had alignment
with. If if there's pullback

1407
01:24:52,450 --> 01:24:56,860
and understanding should be be
thinking about that as well as

1408
01:24:56,870 --> 01:24:58,720
how the stuff's getting
implemented.

1409
01:25:00,590 --> 01:25:03,620
>> So talking about thoughts of
what you've read it to you and

1410
01:25:03,630 --> 01:25:07,170
me when I speak on this.
What you're seeing in the

1411
01:25:07,180 --> 01:25:11,320
national news. I will be first
to be honest that I'm no expert

1412
01:25:11,330 --> 01:25:15,380
in what is currently happening.
I can tell you from my my

1413
01:25:15,390 --> 01:25:19,970
knowledge base and my knowledge
base only most of the

1414
01:25:19,980 --> 01:25:22,990
situations that are being on
national news right now.

1415
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,840
Our experimental

1416
01:25:25,210 --> 01:25:28,730
that they're going through
testing. And these occurrences

1417
01:25:28,740 --> 01:25:33,320
are happening in that. And when
these platforms are advancing

1418
01:25:33,330 --> 01:25:34,350
their technology

1419
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:39,380
and what would become open
access. They remove guardrails.

1420
01:25:40,050 --> 01:25:42,950
And when those guardrails are
removed, these situations are

1421
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,920
happening some not all, but
most of them are occurring in

1422
01:25:46,930 --> 01:25:49,140
the experimental and testing
phases.

1423
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:55,820
I think what you're seeing is
the again, our biggest killer

1424
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:00,680
bringing AI is not putting kids
on a I all the time every time

1425
01:26:00,980 --> 01:26:02,600
only when it meets a need

1426
01:26:03,180 --> 01:26:08,470
is getting our public our kids
or teachers or administrators

1427
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,370
the knowledge of what AI is and
what it's looking like to be so

1428
01:26:12,380 --> 01:26:14,300
that we can have informed
decisions.

1429
01:26:14,790 --> 01:26:19,660
I have my own personal thoughts
and opinions. I think anything

1430
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:24,870
that would ban seen that it's
so rapidly. Oversight is is

1431
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:29,770
needed. I mean, again, I only
speak for myself in my opinion.

1432
01:26:29,780 --> 01:26:30,360
But

1433
01:26:30,780 --> 01:26:34,280
just like what we are trying to
teach our kids. Is that human

1434
01:26:34,290 --> 01:26:35,050
in the loop

1435
01:26:35,610 --> 01:26:39,280
is that we need to ensure that
we're dissecting what is coming

1436
01:26:39,290 --> 01:26:44,500
out and where it's happening at
our current access school AI

1437
01:26:44,510 --> 01:26:48,250
and school AI only other than
the seesaw, which is the

1438
01:26:48,260 --> 01:26:52,510
literacy part for the
elementary kiddos that is not

1439
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:57,120
in advance platform and it's
closed. So anything that is

1440
01:26:57,130 --> 01:27:01,360
being shared with and it stays
ours. It's not connected to an

1441
01:27:01,370 --> 01:27:05,640
outside vendor sort of speak
outside of school. I space.

1442
01:27:05,650 --> 01:27:09,430
It's to the point where they're
engineers can even see what our

1443
01:27:09,440 --> 01:27:11,190
kids if they are on it

1444
01:27:12,150 --> 01:27:17,010
are typing or riding. It's all
encrypted they would have to if

1445
01:27:17,020 --> 01:27:19,300
there was an issue within the
platform. They would have to

1446
01:27:19,310 --> 01:27:24,240
try to recreate it to find out
how that is working. It again.

1447
01:27:24,250 --> 01:27:27,730
School AI has 7 accreditations
that have been vetted through

1448
01:27:27,740 --> 01:27:31,340
outside agencies that their job
is to look at platforms and how

1449
01:27:31,350 --> 01:27:36,330
safe they are. I'm confident in
ours that we have access to N

1450
01:27:36,990 --> 01:27:39,660
what we control in our walls is
very limited.

1451
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,910
Kids don't have accounts to
access it and they have to get

1452
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,500
the invite from the teacher
because the teacher created

1453
01:27:45,510 --> 01:27:49,710
that space. Again, that's not
one of our goals, but it's a

1454
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,120
way to use the skillsets.
We're trying to teach within a

1455
01:27:53,130 --> 01:27:57,090
safe sandbox. So what kind of
answers that question

1456
01:27:58,380 --> 01:28:00,910
the best that I can if I may.

1457
01:28:02,590 --> 01:28:06,100
>> If you think about Francis
new chart. You know, the mayor

1458
01:28:06,310 --> 01:28:10,130
runs the school system to to.
He selects. He appoints the

1459
01:28:10,140 --> 01:28:11,220
superintendent there

1460
01:28:13,370 --> 01:28:17,040
in a such a large district
about 1000 schools and what you

1461
01:28:17,050 --> 01:28:17,950
live in 100 schools.

1462
01:28:18,710 --> 01:28:21,710
What happens is there's no
plan. There was really no plan

1463
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,580
of action. And what was
happening was be put your study

1464
01:28:24,590 --> 01:28:27,400
using tonight. Just like
teachers will use in Normandy.

1465
01:28:27,410 --> 01:28:28,720
Students would use in Normandy.

1466
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,780
That's problematic. I thing.
Our approach is being very the

1467
01:28:32,790 --> 01:28:36,460
friend and that our approach
has bean by the side.

1468
01:28:37,130 --> 01:28:41,860
So we have been working on the
design of the AI platform

1469
01:28:42,210 --> 01:28:44,450
way before the opp. I

1470
01:28:45,180 --> 01:28:49,400
presented their guidelines.
So our guy Lance came way

1471
01:28:49,410 --> 01:28:52,480
before the eye came. Actually
they asking for our guidance

1472
01:28:52,490 --> 01:28:54,250
that we share our Island.
So we will be I

1473
01:28:56,830 --> 01:28:59,080
we like Francis K through 3.

1474
01:28:59,700 --> 01:29:03,480
We are doing a a literacy which
is not the key sitting in front

1475
01:29:03,490 --> 01:29:09,110
of a computer doing I they're
earning what how does a I work.

1476
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,160
So you see there's a difference
there. You're learning you're

1477
01:29:12,170 --> 01:29:16,100
teaching the students, how to
use AI. What is a I

1478
01:29:17,210 --> 01:29:20,100
and teaching that behind the
scenes of the reasons the CA to

1479
01:29:20,110 --> 01:29:24,500
do with AI. Our framework in
involves the values

1480
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,430
that we Foster and those are
lying to us that your

1481
01:29:27,440 --> 01:29:30,560
priorities and our gradual
profile critical thinking so

1482
01:29:30,570 --> 01:29:34,740
critical thinking is number
one, we're not subtracting.

1483
01:29:34,750 --> 01:29:36,140
Kids are teaching kids too.

1484
01:29:36,890 --> 01:29:40,470
Avoid thinking which is a
problem when you use I without

1485
01:29:40,480 --> 01:29:46,100
guidance and instead we're
utilizing AI icy tool. So we

1486
01:29:46,110 --> 01:29:49,980
teach it. Kate proof 3rd.
And in the in the other great

1487
01:29:49,990 --> 01:29:54,730
levels where we are utilizing
our on. I too,

1488
01:29:55,490 --> 01:29:56,500
with guidelines

1489
01:29:56,990 --> 01:29:57,990
that we design.

1490
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,940
So we're in a much better,
better space space. So I can

1491
01:30:01,950 --> 01:30:02,820
see why

1492
01:30:03,310 --> 01:30:05,650
districts across the nation,
taking a step back and say

1493
01:30:05,660 --> 01:30:08,840
we're binding. May I because
they didn't have a plan.

1494
01:30:10,150 --> 01:30:13,780
But we have a plan and that's
what's different. So I think

1495
01:30:13,790 --> 01:30:15,220
you got to keep in mind, too,
that.

1496
01:30:17,500 --> 01:30:22,520
>> What are the ramifications
of banning versus teaching when

1497
01:30:22,530 --> 01:30:26,060
as soon as 3.20 hits, they have
access to anything and

1498
01:30:26,070 --> 01:30:26,680
everything.

1499
01:30:28,380 --> 01:30:30,800
So that's why it's critical
that we're teaching them.

1500
01:30:30,810 --> 01:30:34,070
But it is how to use it.
Ethically and responsibly

1501
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,260
versus than just completely
shutting it out in our biggest

1502
01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:40,960
killer that we lean on is that
AI literacy, not necessarily

1503
01:30:40,970 --> 01:30:42,360
throwing AI and their lot

1504
01:30:43,020 --> 01:30:44,630
and not just any platform.

1505
01:30:47,230 --> 01:30:49,740
Montana has a really good
vetting process and

1506
01:30:49,750 --> 01:30:54,450
requirements and school AI has
at all those requirements.

1507
01:30:54,460 --> 01:30:57,060
So it's been vetted, not
internally but also externally

1508
01:30:57,070 --> 01:30:58,610
as well and throughout the
state.

1509
01:31:01,780 --> 01:31:02,690
Any other questions?

1510
01:31:05,480 --> 01:31:07,620
Yeah. This more generally the
new school year starting are we

1511
01:31:07,630 --> 01:31:09,970
getting any pushback from
students and parents regarding

1512
01:31:09,980 --> 01:31:12,720
our use any kind of seeing any
families kind of put up very

1513
01:31:12,730 --> 01:31:15,470
firm boundaries in terms of no
use in the classroom.

1514
01:31:17,060 --> 01:31:19,850
I can speak directly to that
cause. Those questions haven't

1515
01:31:19,860 --> 01:31:20,500
come to me

1516
01:31:21,010 --> 01:31:24,810
so I can't answer that. Thanks
to that.

1517
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:29,100
>> But Kim, you are in
elementary, have you because I

1518
01:31:29,110 --> 01:31:32,030
get when things are escalated,
they get to me and I haven't

1519
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:36,840
received any one trying to say
I want my KCI. My kid is

1520
01:31:36,850 --> 01:31:39,590
prohibited from using night.
But you have more exposure,

1521
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,060
especially to the lower grades.

1522
01:31:42,250 --> 01:31:45,920
>> So we do have one family who
does not want their child on

1523
01:31:45,930 --> 01:31:47,070
any technology

1524
01:31:47,620 --> 01:31:50,190
and we have made those
accommodations.

1525
01:31:50,940 --> 01:31:53,900
So one family out of all of the
rest of the elementary

1526
01:31:53,910 --> 01:31:54,790
families.

1527
01:32:00,710 --> 01:32:02,270
>> And lastly, I think that's

1528
01:32:03,470 --> 01:32:06,820
one of our biggest plus is as
we're moving very slow

1529
01:32:07,570 --> 01:32:11,370
and not in the sense that we're
removing access to students in

1530
01:32:11,380 --> 01:32:16,170
the sense of skill set. But
we're making sure that we stay

1531
01:32:16,180 --> 01:32:20,520
behind that pillar. The
literacy first. I'm not

1532
01:32:20,530 --> 01:32:23,000
throwing a bunch of access to
our students.

1533
01:32:32,230 --> 01:32:36,290
>> Just my opinion. I'm very
I'm very leery of AI in

1534
01:32:36,300 --> 01:32:37,820
general.

1535
01:32:38,590 --> 01:32:39,870
I know it's a great tool.

1536
01:32:41,140 --> 01:32:43,390
Use some of that myself.
But

1537
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:44,940
it's

1538
01:32:46,270 --> 01:32:48,240
I just I'm just very afraid.

1539
01:32:48,990 --> 01:32:51,460
I don't want to give up our
intelligence

1540
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:53,790
in favor of

1541
01:32:54,410 --> 01:32:57,570
this. Whatever doing it for us.
It's just

1542
01:32:58,290 --> 01:33:00,660
I just want make sure we have
our guardrails of.

1543
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,690
>> I don't think a whole lot of
people would disagree with you.

1544
01:33:03,700 --> 01:33:04,750
Madam chair.

1545
01:33:05,650 --> 01:33:06,670
All right. Thank you.

1546
01:33:08,530 --> 01:33:13,190
>> The next item is a board
retreat. We had a board retreat

1547
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:17,170
on September 16th. We had 5
topics

1548
01:33:18,130 --> 01:33:19,510
committee structure.

1549
01:33:20,650 --> 01:33:21,530
We have

1550
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:25,220
lots Committee's board
committees. We tweet. I'm a

1551
01:33:25,230 --> 01:33:29,620
little bit, but they seem to be
working pretty well. We talked

1552
01:33:29,630 --> 01:33:32,100
about the district budget

1553
01:33:32,660 --> 01:33:35,410
and Jordan is working with Lori
on

1554
01:33:37,730 --> 01:33:43,420
trying to get information more
on a regular basis so that

1555
01:33:43,430 --> 01:33:44,040
we're not

1556
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:45,760
the deadline.

1557
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,120
We have our backs against the
wall trying to

1558
01:33:49,730 --> 01:33:51,020
get our our budget

1559
01:33:51,550 --> 01:33:56,840
finalized and and analyzed and
submitted in. So we're trying

1560
01:33:56,850 --> 01:34:00,840
to make this more streamlined
Fort for Lori and her team plus

1561
01:34:00,850 --> 01:34:03,600
for the trustees. So we're not

1562
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:07,490
scrambling to sell. So we're
working on that.

1563
01:34:08,540 --> 01:34:11,170
We talked about the high school
bond, which I think is going to

1564
01:34:11,180 --> 01:34:13,750
be talked about and are planned
development.

1565
01:34:14,500 --> 01:34:19,010
We had this discussion about
legislature and particularly

1566
01:34:19,020 --> 01:34:21,570
the school funding in turn
Commission report.

1567
01:34:22,060 --> 01:34:25,260
We are in the process of
preparing a statement from

1568
01:34:25,270 --> 01:34:26,400
school district 2

1569
01:34:26,940 --> 01:34:29,920
where we stand on

1570
01:34:31,010 --> 01:34:31,670
school funding

1571
01:34:34,020 --> 01:34:34,650
for everyone

1572
01:34:40,350 --> 01:34:41,920
frustrating

1573
01:34:42,990 --> 01:34:46,880
this is the time it's been 10
years since the last

1574
01:34:47,750 --> 01:34:48,790
tweak

1575
01:34:49,860 --> 01:34:51,920
and the reports that are coming
out

1576
01:34:52,950 --> 01:34:56,900
say that Montana schools are
grossly underfunded and we need

1577
01:34:56,910 --> 01:34:59,930
them to step up. So we're
working on a statement

1578
01:35:00,300 --> 01:35:02,150
to let them know

1579
01:35:02,500 --> 01:35:06,140
we're not just waiting and
hoping we were going make

1580
01:35:06,150 --> 01:35:10,210
statement. So we'll be we'll be
in touch on what we come up

1581
01:35:10,220 --> 01:35:10,600
with

1582
01:35:11,010 --> 01:35:11,980
and then up

1583
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,210
rebalancing. I think it's going
to be touched on in

1584
01:35:15,220 --> 01:35:18,720
stakeholder. So we did. You may
not want to comment on or for

1585
01:35:18,730 --> 01:35:19,190
the treat.

1586
01:35:22,430 --> 01:35:23,130
Yes, please.

1587
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:28,220
I will. We part of the
discussion of the state funding

1588
01:35:28,230 --> 01:35:32,130
or lack of was what would we
do. What could we do for

1589
01:35:32,140 --> 01:35:37,110
students if the state were to
uphold their and promised them.

1590
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,340
I guess the constitutional
responsibility and fund public

1591
01:35:40,350 --> 01:35:44,460
schools and a lot was mention
of intervention us. The app's

1592
01:35:44,470 --> 01:35:48,700
SNA is nursing her nurses and
so forth, which we've heard

1593
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:54,300
tonight and I feel like that we
hear that we understand that we

1594
01:35:54,310 --> 01:35:55,290
really need

1595
01:35:55,870 --> 01:35:58,480
more help from the state to be
able to help us

1596
01:35:58,950 --> 01:36:01,260
provide those services for
students.

1597
01:36:03,730 --> 01:36:06,850
>> I echo what Theresa said.
We also heard the same thing at

1598
01:36:06,860 --> 01:36:11,950
our trustees school visit this
past week from the principal at

1599
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,380
all. Quite Creek school.
So

1600
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:16,350
yeah, great.

1601
01:36:18,690 --> 01:36:21,260
>> Anyone else. Okay. We'll
keep you posted on that.

1602
01:36:22,330 --> 01:36:25,630
Alright her next next item

1603
01:36:29,090 --> 01:36:29,860
planning and development.

1604
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,060
>> Yes. So if you're quick
update got a few updates from

1605
01:36:35,070 --> 01:36:38,160
staff as well. We're going to
start with the quick summary of

1606
01:36:38,170 --> 01:36:41,390
last meeting. We begin with a
quick presentation.

1607
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:45,270
The risk is not just a lot.
I missed that one. I was going

1608
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:49,210
to be oh, come on. Oh, you're
right. I need to cut that

1609
01:36:49,220 --> 01:36:52,710
superintendents report that you
spoke about. You haven't given

1610
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:57,040
this for your report. So get
your point. Sorry, briefly and

1611
01:36:57,050 --> 01:37:00,490
I send you these presentations
to you should be able to see

1612
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:00,900
it.

1613
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:03,670
I'm not going to really spend
too much time. And as you have

1614
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:05,760
questions. Thank you so much
for that.

1615
01:37:07,390 --> 01:37:10,700
>> So enrollment current
enrollment at sea near our

1616
01:37:10,710 --> 01:37:15,790
numbers are 1563 we slightly
lower than last year. That has

1617
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:20,330
been kind of the trend. We
understand we have to be 5

1618
01:37:20,340 --> 01:37:24,580
enrollment at senior we have
some ideas as we think about

1619
01:37:24,590 --> 01:37:29,070
potentially for the health care
expansion. We should go into it

1620
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:32,550
later. Perhaps there's an
opportunity there to bring that

1621
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:36,460
program. A senior us well, so
we can help them with their

1622
01:37:36,470 --> 01:37:40,790
enrollment. We sent some some
of those students go to the

1623
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:41,810
career center

1624
01:37:42,230 --> 01:37:46,830
PM. Am some of them are
full-time career center

1625
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:47,630
students

1626
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:49,550
324.

1627
01:37:50,820 --> 01:37:53,490
This is Skyview Skyview.
So that will be higher than

1628
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:56,400
last year. 1593 of 33 more.

1629
01:37:56,930 --> 01:38:01,170
We have some students going to
the career center am PM and a

1630
01:38:01,180 --> 01:38:05,130
full time as well. So that's a
good news for Skyview increase

1631
01:38:05,140 --> 01:38:06,730
enrollment a tiny bit

1632
01:38:07,910 --> 01:38:11,390
when it comes to Wes population
has declined, which he's

1633
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:16,310
actually we intended for that
population to decline and that,

1634
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,670
you know, we open 3 charter
schools. We have increased the

1635
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,980
population of students going to
the career center

1636
01:38:22,530 --> 01:38:27,640
and some of that intentionally
was to reduce the numbers at

1637
01:38:27,650 --> 01:38:31,490
West and provide more
opportunities to students in

1638
01:38:31,500 --> 01:38:35,200
those charter programs not only
to increase the population but

1639
01:38:35,210 --> 01:38:37,540
to increase the quality of
programming

1640
01:38:38,010 --> 01:38:40,390
opportunity school early
college high school will tell

1641
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,050
you what got to me and a career
center. You can see the

1642
01:38:44,060 --> 01:38:47,250
numbers. We have a is the
largest representation of

1643
01:38:47,260 --> 01:38:49,190
students going to the career
center.

1644
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:54,250
So when you see the 120%
building capacity. That's not

1645
01:38:54,550 --> 01:38:58,250
that's true. Based on the
nominal number. But it's not

1646
01:38:58,260 --> 01:39:01,430
true when it comes to the
numbers that are actually in

1647
01:39:01,440 --> 01:39:01,920
the building

1648
01:39:03,350 --> 01:39:06,670
in the actual building. We
should be at about a 100%.

1649
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:10,710
So we still maxed out, but we
can still provide quality

1650
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,860
education at West.

1651
01:39:14,370 --> 01:39:17,500
We have a heat out of the
charter school programs early

1652
01:39:17,510 --> 01:39:21,350
college High school with a 127
students this year about unity

1653
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:27,270
School 108 multilingual Academy
37 and we have about 272

1654
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,100
students enrolled in those
programs.

1655
01:39:31,450 --> 01:39:36,400
High schools, 5,499 lower than
last year.

1656
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:38,500
-52

1657
01:39:39,450 --> 01:39:42,080
middle schools is up to
students

1658
01:39:43,730 --> 01:39:49,120
elementary. It were down.
I can read from here is a 117

1659
01:39:49,130 --> 01:39:55,660
students lower than last year
when we do the adjust it and B

1660
01:39:55,670 --> 01:39:59,940
2, which is different than the
AMB adjusted. AMB means

1661
01:40:00,300 --> 01:40:03,980
students that are going 0.
4.2 to the school system.

1662
01:40:03,990 --> 01:40:06,920
So we account for those
students when we do adjusted

1663
01:40:06,930 --> 01:40:07,480
AMB,

1664
01:40:07,990 --> 01:40:11,960
when we have, for instance, the
students that go to the VIP

1665
01:40:11,970 --> 01:40:13,950
program, the students that go
to

1666
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:20,100
jumpstart program. That and the
East calculate it in the

1667
01:40:20,110 --> 01:40:22,720
adjusted A and B so in
actuality

1668
01:40:23,190 --> 01:40:28,120
our numbers based on what I see
could be relatively the same.

1669
01:40:28,740 --> 01:40:32,760
And remember that the funding
for our budget is calculated on

1670
01:40:32,770 --> 01:40:35,090
a 3 year period.

1671
01:40:35,650 --> 01:40:39,290
So therefore I check in with
Lori on the calculation.

1672
01:40:39,300 --> 01:40:42,860
We should be stable pretty much
within our funding.

1673
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,870
Total is the 2 enrollment trend
would lower than last year for

1674
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,530
about 207. But again, adjusted
and be that should be bringing

1675
01:40:52,540 --> 01:40:53,270
that number.

1676
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:56,090
I don't know if closer to 2.
'07,

1677
01:40:57,180 --> 01:40:59,330
absolutely higher than what it
is right now.

1678
01:41:01,970 --> 01:41:04,900
As you know, we hire

1679
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:09,920
a company to do them a graphic
studies that demographic

1680
01:41:09,930 --> 01:41:11,630
projections is that

1681
01:41:12,230 --> 01:41:13,810
we'll have less students than
today

1682
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:15,830
unless something happens.

1683
01:41:16,450 --> 01:41:19,450
So that's why when people think
about building a 4th High

1684
01:41:19,460 --> 01:41:20,520
School on the West End.

1685
01:41:21,900 --> 01:41:25,270
That doesn't make any sense
because the numbers are not

1686
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:26,020
indicating,

1687
01:41:26,630 --> 01:41:30,190
not projecting and increase
enrollment. Actually, we see

1688
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:34,490
the same trend with Montana
demographics. Same trend with

1689
01:41:34,500 --> 01:41:40,280
the study. We conducted here
locally so we can see a spike

1690
01:41:40,290 --> 01:41:43,340
in the number of students in
high school but not the same in

1691
01:41:43,350 --> 01:41:44,110
elementary

1692
01:41:45,610 --> 01:41:47,480
if we lose 2000 kits,

1693
01:41:48,010 --> 01:41:51,490
we'll have to be very creative
5 years from now, 10 years from

1694
01:41:51,500 --> 01:41:56,060
now as far as what's going to
happen to the exes of capacity.

1695
01:41:56,070 --> 01:41:59,030
I do. I don't want to bring bad
news because, of course,

1696
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,540
the board, then we'll have to
make some decisions as far as

1697
01:42:02,550 --> 01:42:05,470
the next steps for the
elementary district in

1698
01:42:05,480 --> 01:42:06,090
particular.

1699
01:42:06,910 --> 01:42:10,050
And this is something that we
hear all the time. And you

1700
01:42:10,060 --> 01:42:12,810
know, the return on investment.
And so I decided to put this

1701
01:42:12,820 --> 01:42:13,590
chart up.

1702
01:42:15,890 --> 01:42:19,280
You know, the green line is
total funding. And as you can

1703
01:42:19,290 --> 01:42:22,360
see, states across the nation
and this is out of our

1704
01:42:22,370 --> 01:42:23,560
neighboring states.

1705
01:42:24,020 --> 01:42:26,850
They have all increased funding

1706
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:29,570
some states more than others.

1707
01:42:30,820 --> 01:42:33,530
This is the second slide with
Montana included it.

1708
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,810
And there's that great line.
If you notice that gray line is

1709
01:42:38,820 --> 01:42:39,480
inflation.

1710
01:42:40,430 --> 01:42:42,810
So green line more funding.

1711
01:42:43,710 --> 01:42:44,540
Great line.

1712
01:42:47,530 --> 01:42:50,150
So some states have been
impacted more than others

1713
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:53,420
because some states actually
pour more money after coffee

1714
01:42:54,260 --> 01:42:57,770
in our chart. Inflation.
As you can see on the left

1715
01:42:57,780 --> 01:42:58,180
hand.

1716
01:42:59,270 --> 01:43:00,910
We'll see. Roll out

1717
01:43:01,790 --> 01:43:03,040
the influx of funding.

1718
01:43:04,860 --> 01:43:07,990
This is something that the
Legislature notes these data

1719
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:09,480
has been made available

1720
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:14,200
to the Legislature and through
this study that is finalizing

1721
01:43:14,210 --> 01:43:17,560
the educational interim
Commission. They know this

1722
01:43:19,480 --> 01:43:22,350
even with the actions that they
took with the Stars act.

1723
01:43:23,260 --> 01:43:25,330
Inflation is pretty much eating
up

1724
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:28,950
that increase. So think about
our teachers on. You know,

1725
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:30,640
you heard the respect campaign
today

1726
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:34,890
for our employees is exactly
what's happening. We have

1727
01:43:34,900 --> 01:43:37,750
increased their salaries but is
really even up

1728
01:43:38,330 --> 01:43:39,220
by inflation,

1729
01:43:39,770 --> 01:43:44,240
which is so sad because now the
city's almost $6 gasoline is

1730
01:43:44,250 --> 01:43:44,950
almost 5

1731
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:50,420
and things are very complex,
especially for Ryan, please.

1732
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:54,140
And then you see the beta down
these math and reading reading

1733
01:43:54,150 --> 01:43:57,780
and math and people wonder
return on investment. We see

1734
01:43:57,790 --> 01:44:00,550
the data going down. Well,
sometimes people want to

1735
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:01,800
isolate Montana.

1736
01:44:02,750 --> 01:44:06,010
But that's not true. I mean,
well, it's consistent

1737
01:44:06,570 --> 01:44:07,400
is all

1738
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,140
district, especially all those
nearby districts. It was only 2

1739
01:44:11,150 --> 01:44:14,160
exceptions. I want to say to
CNN and in Tennessee.

1740
01:44:14,990 --> 01:44:18,970
But everybody else is data
reflects exactly beast rent in

1741
01:44:18,980 --> 01:44:23,140
actuality our date ice not as
low as others. No excuse.

1742
01:44:23,150 --> 01:44:24,560
There's more to weaken do

1743
01:44:26,180 --> 01:44:30,760
reading and math are absolutely
priorities for our state.

1744
01:44:30,770 --> 01:44:33,910
Now, as you know, we have
provided you with the data.

1745
01:44:34,910 --> 01:44:39,230
We are actually beating the
odds because we have Sean games

1746
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:46,200
20% gains in mathematics.
49 to 69% for the National for

1747
01:44:46,210 --> 01:44:48,370
their the nwba assessment.

1748
01:44:49,210 --> 01:44:52,770
And we have seen 15% gains in
reading

1749
01:44:53,390 --> 01:44:58,220
that is for all of our schools
K through 8 K to 8 only

1750
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:03,240
we're beating the odds. I we
reflected on these assessment,

1751
01:45:05,030 --> 01:45:08,680
but we're absolutely making a
difference with being our

1752
01:45:08,690 --> 01:45:09,470
students.

1753
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:14,060
So these are some of the
dilemmas that the legislators

1754
01:45:14,070 --> 01:45:18,050
on us as board will have to the
site.

1755
01:45:18,540 --> 01:45:19,940
Where do we go from here.

1756
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,150
How are we going to have to
make our voices heard.

1757
01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:27,420
As we encounter the next.
They used latest session and

1758
01:45:27,430 --> 01:45:30,920
these legislators get back to
work. Are they going to do the

1759
01:45:30,930 --> 01:45:35,250
right thing and bring resources
to the school system because

1760
01:45:35,260 --> 01:45:36,020
any Bentley

1761
01:45:36,810 --> 01:45:39,810
they're not enough. As you can
see, based on this chart

1762
01:45:41,690 --> 01:45:43,650
that concludes my presentation.
Any questions,

1763
01:45:44,510 --> 01:45:46,260
any questions for doctor car
seat.

1764
01:45:50,620 --> 01:45:53,260
Not a question that may be a
comment and this is just

1765
01:45:53,270 --> 01:45:56,240
historical information, too.
Keep context.

1766
01:45:57,410 --> 01:46:00,590
>> In 1970. And and then we
have some more recent data was

1767
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,220
taken directly from our at the
time is called the cat for it.

1768
01:46:03,230 --> 01:46:05,990
Was it is our audit numbers
every year. But

1769
01:46:06,630 --> 01:46:10,930
just a strictly in 1970.
We had 18,000 students in

1770
01:46:10,940 --> 01:46:12,120
Billings public schools

1771
01:46:12,900 --> 01:46:17,780
and then the from tooth it 2000
to 2006. There were about

1772
01:46:17,790 --> 01:46:21,490
17,000 students. So I mean,
we're an incredibly consistent

1773
01:46:21,500 --> 01:46:23,200
district over time so that

1774
01:46:23,870 --> 01:46:25,980
we want to make sure we look at
these numbers and understand

1775
01:46:25,990 --> 01:46:28,800
that we've done the demographic
studies. The county is looking

1776
01:46:28,810 --> 01:46:30,850
at that. The city's 10
demographic studies to we're

1777
01:46:30,860 --> 01:46:34,080
not having massive over that
sort of time period.

1778
01:46:34,780 --> 01:46:38,130
These fluctuations are going to
happen and we'll see bubbles at

1779
01:46:38,140 --> 01:46:40,730
different points. And I think
there's a lot of data if we

1780
01:46:40,740 --> 01:46:43,090
need to go back and just look
as we're making decisions on

1781
01:46:43,100 --> 01:46:45,650
these increases and decreases
when they built the 2 middle

1782
01:46:45,660 --> 01:46:48,870
schools. It was up pretty
intense time. And so if you

1783
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:52,260
look at that time period on the
minutes. I mean, there's a lot

1784
01:46:52,270 --> 01:46:53,700
of data presented so that

1785
01:46:55,410 --> 01:46:57,000
we say things like West is.

1786
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:58,740
>> So for over 4.

1787
01:47:00,490 --> 01:47:03,440
>> The Midwest has been
probably 4 or 5 years and then

1788
01:47:03,450 --> 01:47:06,820
last fall, another 5 years.
And so that we're keeping the

1789
01:47:06,830 --> 01:47:10,600
context of what's going on
within the district. So

1790
01:47:13,250 --> 01:47:14,160
you're the comment.

1791
01:47:17,380 --> 01:47:18,850
Thank you, doctor Garcia.
Thank you.

1792
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:23,890
Next item for clerk's report.

1793
01:47:24,830 --> 01:47:29,180
>> Okay. So we're currently at
3 office of civil rights

1794
01:47:29,190 --> 01:47:31,260
complaints. One o P I

1795
01:47:32,050 --> 01:47:33,760
and one human rights Bureau.

1796
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,360
>> Okay. Any questions for the
new on that.

1797
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:43,730
Thank you. Thank you.

1798
01:47:44,990 --> 01:47:46,610
Board operations.

1799
01:47:48,300 --> 01:47:50,390
This one is

1800
01:47:52,480 --> 01:47:55,940
we want to continue our
discussion about recording

1801
01:47:55,950 --> 01:47:56,780
committee meetings.

1802
01:48:00,550 --> 01:48:05,650
>> We've asked legal for their
opinion state law. We are

1803
01:48:05,660 --> 01:48:11,060
required to record our board
meetings. We are not required

1804
01:48:11,070 --> 01:48:12,320
to record.

1805
01:48:13,430 --> 01:48:15,750
I could eat, however we.

1806
01:48:16,140 --> 01:48:19,210
>> I feel like that as I
understand it this way with

1807
01:48:19,220 --> 01:48:21,190
then we've been recording on
the committee meetings.

1808
01:48:21,650 --> 01:48:26,750
So the question is what about
when during negotiations when

1809
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:28,930
we have a caucus committee.

1810
01:48:29,490 --> 01:48:34,320
Is that something where we feel
that we could exclude recording

1811
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:36,470
during the negotiations,

1812
01:48:37,210 --> 01:48:40,620
the court, everything else but
exclude that

1813
01:48:43,060 --> 01:48:46,880
if so, we need to direct staff
to

1814
01:48:47,990 --> 01:48:52,110
tweak our policy. So do we have
any comments or thoughts on

1815
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:52,410
that.

1816
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:59,240
>> I'll simply say that I do
support that. I do think that

1817
01:48:59,250 --> 01:49:01,780
it because we have been
recording committee meetings.

1818
01:49:01,790 --> 01:49:04,780
I think that it would be best
practice to continue. However,

1819
01:49:04,790 --> 01:49:08,320
I think it would be in the best
interest for our taxpayers and

1820
01:49:08,330 --> 01:49:15,020
community F we were able to
caucus outside of a recording.

1821
01:49:17,780 --> 01:49:21,060
>> And I think there's a lot of
precedence for our negotiations

1822
01:49:21,070 --> 01:49:24,760
that we had not been recording.
Those meetings prior to this

1823
01:49:24,770 --> 01:49:28,930
year and it's common practice
in my

1824
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:34,500
my opinion that when you have
an it a negotiation where

1825
01:49:34,510 --> 01:49:37,990
something may or may not or
could potentially benefit the

1826
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:38,670
district

1827
01:49:39,290 --> 01:49:42,620
and therefore the taxpayers
that that can be done.

1828
01:49:43,970 --> 01:49:45,910
The recording happening at the
time.

1829
01:49:48,410 --> 01:49:49,120
Anyone else

1830
01:49:52,650 --> 01:49:53,980
want to

1831
01:49:55,670 --> 01:49:59,810
direct staff to tweak our
policy, 1441 to

1832
01:50:01,190 --> 01:50:02,450
make those adjustments

1833
01:50:03,380 --> 01:50:04,360
moving forward.

1834
01:50:04,740 --> 01:50:06,140
I can make that motion. Okay,

1835
01:50:08,730 --> 01:50:13,150
stand again. Just to make a
motion to direct staff to

1836
01:50:13,940 --> 01:50:15,670
just are

1837
01:50:16,130 --> 01:50:18,210
the committee is a committee
policy.

1838
01:50:18,750 --> 01:50:22,400
>> Well, its policy, 1441.
Oh, yeah. Purchasing Haitian

1839
01:50:22,410 --> 01:50:28,540
for policy 1441 and to exclude
recording of caucus meetings

1840
01:50:28,550 --> 01:50:31,260
Doreen negotiations. Okay.

1841
01:50:34,070 --> 01:50:37,720
I'll second that, OK, it's been
moved by Theresa trust the

1842
01:50:37,730 --> 01:50:44,460
Larson and a second by just yet
more to adjust policy 1441 to

1843
01:50:44,470 --> 01:50:45,330
include

1844
01:50:46,300 --> 01:50:47,250
not recording

1845
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:49,600
caucus committee meetings,

1846
01:50:50,700 --> 01:50:51,760
any other discussion.

1847
01:50:53,500 --> 01:50:56,150
All those in favor say aye.
Aye. Any opposed

1848
01:50:56,950 --> 01:50:59,480
motion passes, OK, we will

1849
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:01,070
get that

1850
01:51:09,460 --> 01:51:10,290
any development.

1851
01:51:11,090 --> 01:51:13,460
Now you're ready for me.
Now I know why.

1852
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:20,210
>> Guess which of their last
meeting. We met with fiery

1853
01:51:20,220 --> 01:51:22,820
campaigns from Helena Montana
to kick off the meeting and

1854
01:51:22,830 --> 01:51:25,640
that was just more of a kind of
meat and introduction. They

1855
01:51:25,650 --> 01:51:28,060
were part of the team behind
Helen its recent high school

1856
01:51:28,070 --> 01:51:30,830
bond success. And so we want to
talk to them about their

1857
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:34,400
experience. And I guess the
majority, the conversation for

1858
01:51:34,410 --> 01:51:36,970
that meeting centered on kind
of timing for our potential

1859
01:51:36,980 --> 01:51:37,810
high school bond.

1860
01:51:38,370 --> 01:51:41,030
And that was a NASCAR to.
We did have a kind of deeper

1861
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,650
conversation about potential
high school bond at our border

1862
01:51:43,660 --> 01:51:46,340
treat and I did like the idea
that was brought up in terms of

1863
01:51:46,350 --> 01:51:49,210
kind of getting our timeline
for more, you know, public

1864
01:51:49,220 --> 01:51:53,090
communication and so are we
comfortable like I would say

1865
01:51:53,100 --> 01:51:55,670
this personally, I really am
interested in sharing some more

1866
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:57,410
information hopefully by
November.

1867
01:52:02,260 --> 01:52:05,190
And then after that, we had a
quick bus barn update at the

1868
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:09,080
time of the meeting. Doctor.
Cnn's you preparing for a City

1869
01:52:09,090 --> 01:52:11,890
Council meeting and I was going
to start to see Lindsay have

1870
01:52:11,900 --> 01:52:13,140
any updates on how the meeting
went.

1871
01:52:18,430 --> 01:52:22,130
>> So the lesson part item was
pulled from that meeting by

1872
01:52:22,140 --> 01:52:22,920
City Council

1873
01:52:23,530 --> 01:52:25,760
and they had a discussion of
their budget and finance

1874
01:52:25,770 --> 01:52:28,050
meeting, I believe is what it's
called.

1875
01:52:29,480 --> 01:52:32,940
So we will now be going to
Council on October 12th to have

1876
01:52:32,950 --> 01:52:34,210
that discussion.

1877
01:52:34,990 --> 01:52:36,640
It's going to look a little bit
differently than

1878
01:52:37,550 --> 01:52:40,310
we originally had proposed.
I guess we're still going to

1879
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:42,980
move forward with the vote.
A resolution for the 15 acres.

1880
01:52:43,440 --> 01:52:46,730
But the city did identify some
financial impact to their

1881
01:52:46,740 --> 01:52:47,480
general fund

1882
01:52:48,660 --> 01:52:51,890
for snow removal being in
different locations and in

1883
01:52:51,900 --> 01:52:52,570
Wilson Park.

1884
01:52:53,060 --> 01:52:56,420
So kind of compromise with
them. And that's the the

1885
01:52:56,430 --> 01:53:00,450
current thought is that we
would not partial, but at least

1886
01:53:00,460 --> 01:53:02,740
5 acres at no cost.

1887
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:07,280
We're still working on the
number of years. But anyway so

1888
01:53:07,290 --> 01:53:09,330
that they would remain cost
neutral that way. But we're

1889
01:53:09,340 --> 01:53:09,740
still

1890
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:14,620
potentially having access to
do. And that's where we're

1891
01:53:14,630 --> 01:53:15,300
thank you.

1892
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:24,330
>> And then after that summer,
the city's update. Scott good.

1893
01:53:24,340 --> 01:53:26,210
If you're a few items tonight
because just briefly talk about

1894
01:53:26,220 --> 01:53:27,740
the summer project facilities
handled.

1895
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,770
>> We've ramped up the majority
of all the summer projects

1896
01:53:35,780 --> 01:53:38,310
you'll see on the list that are
provided that there's a couple

1897
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:42,030
that were not completed yet and
those are more timing issues.

1898
01:53:42,310 --> 01:53:45,630
We ran and a little bit of an
issue with the Pali windows and

1899
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:49,360
they're going to push that out.
Tell next summer along with the

1900
01:53:49,370 --> 01:53:54,340
rooftop unit from the hail
damage at Bear to see the unit

1901
01:53:54,350 --> 01:53:57,460
that's up there is working
right now and it just arrived.

1902
01:53:57,470 --> 01:54:00,240
I believe last week and it
didn't make much sense to

1903
01:54:00,810 --> 01:54:03,530
tear it all out and have a
crane over the school. Wait

1904
01:54:03,540 --> 01:54:05,200
till summer on that one as
well.

1905
01:54:05,730 --> 01:54:08,980
Other than that, the rest of
one along pretty well. And if

1906
01:54:08,990 --> 01:54:11,940
you have any questions over any
of the projects to all answer.

1907
01:54:13,690 --> 01:54:14,910
>> Any questions for Scott

1908
01:54:17,590 --> 01:54:19,230
as the summer.

1909
01:54:19,990 --> 01:54:22,610
I would just say this term a
trustee visit. But is that a

1910
01:54:22,620 --> 01:54:23,290
fair tooth.

1911
01:54:23,890 --> 01:54:24,560
And

1912
01:54:25,260 --> 01:54:29,690
I was told that, well, I saw a
bear tooth. They have safety

1913
01:54:29,700 --> 01:54:33,570
doors can stop now and to the
fore

1914
01:54:33,950 --> 01:54:36,300
open concept schools.

1915
01:54:37,010 --> 01:54:40,790
They're to Arrowhead alkali
Creek

1916
01:54:41,450 --> 01:54:42,650
sandstone sandstone.

1917
01:54:44,100 --> 01:54:47,180
We want. We want our schools to
be open inviting, but we want

1918
01:54:47,190 --> 01:54:50,560
them to be safe. And so they
consider having these open

1919
01:54:50,570 --> 01:54:51,730
hallways.

1920
01:54:52,390 --> 01:54:54,230
They have doors now that

1921
01:54:55,350 --> 01:55:00,090
in a moment's notice they will
close. So if there was ever a

1922
01:55:00,100 --> 01:55:04,000
safety issue, then there would
be access to the rest of the

1923
01:55:04,010 --> 01:55:07,430
school very impressed with the
store. So next time you're one

1924
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:10,410
of those schools be sure and
check it out. And those were

1925
01:55:10,420 --> 01:55:15,110
installed by our staff doing
those good job. And I was like

1926
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:15,450
those

1927
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:18,550
so thank you, Scott.

1928
01:55:20,580 --> 01:55:22,820
>> All right. That the sake of
the meeting summary. We wrapped

1929
01:55:22,830 --> 01:55:25,290
up with a discussion of de lis.
This is the week right after

1930
01:55:25,300 --> 01:55:28,110
the stadium opened. And so we
had a lot to celebrate and so

1931
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:29,970
generally and it's going to say
now, I thank you for everybody

1932
01:55:29,980 --> 01:55:32,740
in this room. Everybody in the
district for all the hard work.

1933
01:55:32,750 --> 01:55:36,940
What a ballpark like it is an
amazing stadium and hearing the

1934
01:55:36,950 --> 01:55:38,510
community stories I've seen so
far.

1935
01:55:38,850 --> 01:55:40,360
>> Doctor, Steve, thanks for
sharing a story from the

1936
01:55:40,370 --> 01:55:42,570
student athlete in Helena.
I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot

1937
01:55:42,580 --> 01:55:46,000
more about that. But underneath
us. We also had a plaque.

1938
01:55:46,010 --> 01:55:49,510
And Jan, I know you're leading
the charge with that project

1939
01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:56,410
here. I did reach out to any
architects, any design for a

1940
01:55:56,420 --> 01:55:57,310
draft,

1941
01:55:57,860 --> 01:56:01,910
a dedication plaque. So would
be dedicated on August 29th.

1942
01:56:02,340 --> 01:56:05,610
It just came and on Friday or

1943
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:11,250
this morning, actually because
there were a few changes did.

1944
01:56:11,260 --> 01:56:12,810
Were you able to e-mail that to
the

1945
01:56:14,590 --> 01:56:16,530
to the trustees. So they at
least have

1946
01:56:17,530 --> 01:56:23,130
yeah. Out the top here today,
OK, so we're still working on

1947
01:56:23,140 --> 01:56:24,010
that.

1948
01:56:24,980 --> 01:56:28,780
I know one thing that has
already been

1949
01:56:29,460 --> 01:56:32,780
change a little bit is instead
of halting Inc. It's could be

1950
01:56:32,790 --> 01:56:38,880
halting ccm think so. And then
I have reached out to ban it

1951
01:56:38,890 --> 01:56:41,720
group to make sure that they
are OK with their name on the

1952
01:56:41,730 --> 01:56:46,530
plaque and is fundraiser the
appropriate

1953
01:56:49,050 --> 01:56:49,970
for their group.

1954
01:56:51,770 --> 01:56:54,420
Does anyone else have any
comments that you want to

1955
01:56:54,430 --> 01:56:55,230
share.

1956
01:56:58,610 --> 01:57:02,930
So a move forward on trying to
get that finalized. It will be

1957
01:57:02,940 --> 01:57:07,800
there. Any is proposing that
the plaque be when you go into

1958
01:57:07,810 --> 01:57:09,100
the main entrance,

1959
01:57:09,740 --> 01:57:13,190
the schools are on the left,
the 3 schools to be on the

1960
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:13,530
right

1961
01:57:14,350 --> 01:57:15,420
and that mean interests.

1962
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:17,910
All right. Thank you.

1963
01:57:19,060 --> 01:57:21,760
>> And we're not done with the
de La Salle excuse me, 7.

1964
01:57:21,770 --> 01:57:24,890
Donald stadium conversation yet
we've had an anonymous donor

1965
01:57:24,900 --> 01:57:28,660
stepped to the plate and offer
125,004. The press box

1966
01:57:28,670 --> 01:57:31,670
sponsorship. And so this is
just an action item for are

1967
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:32,290
meeting tonight.

1968
01:57:35,940 --> 01:57:37,020
>> So

1969
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,260
I would need a motion to
approve the donation of her

1970
01:57:41,270 --> 01:57:45,380
25,000 by the anonymous donor
for the Sam macdonald stadium

1971
01:57:45,390 --> 01:57:46,110
and a less

1972
01:57:46,550 --> 01:57:49,090
for that. John Albert a press
box.

1973
01:57:49,900 --> 01:57:52,380
It was mentioned last month.

1974
01:57:52,790 --> 01:57:54,800
And so we've had the 30 day
review.

1975
01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:58,010
We have a motion

1976
01:57:58,770 --> 01:58:02,940
make a motion to approve the
donation of a $125,000 by the

1977
01:58:02,950 --> 01:58:06,170

passes.

1986
01:58:29,230 --> 01:58:31,480
>> All right. Thank you.
And then last but not least,

1987
01:58:31,490 --> 01:58:34,960
when it comes to the planning
development. We did have some

1988
01:58:34,970 --> 01:58:37,860
recent exploration about
possible

1989
01:58:40,020 --> 01:58:42,820
project. You could tell him
entry. You have some

1990
01:58:42,830 --> 01:58:45,500
information that action there,
Scott that you've anymore share

1991
01:58:45,510 --> 01:58:46,650
about this project
specifically.

1992
01:58:52,010 --> 01:58:55,100
>> We did advertise for the rfp
to complete the grant

1993
01:58:55,110 --> 01:58:57,290
application for Hugo. Plus

1994
01:58:57,940 --> 01:59:01,650
in doing that, we had one
submission and it was the same

1995
01:59:01,660 --> 01:59:04,670
company that has done the
majority of our other projects.

1996
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:09,970
As you can see, the cost of it
has climbed quite a bit.

1997
01:59:09,980 --> 01:59:13,210
And with the payback the way it
is.

1998
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:17,360
My recommendation would be to
not move forward with that one.

1999
01:59:17,370 --> 01:59:22,600
It just cuts into that payback
way too much. After 12 years,

2000
01:59:22,610 --> 01:59:25,080
12 is kind of the higher and
that that I would feel

2001
01:59:25,090 --> 01:59:25,990
comfortable with it.

2002
01:59:26,540 --> 01:59:29,240
But this one has a payback of
15 years.

2003
01:59:29,730 --> 01:59:32,640
Tell you can start receiving
any profit from it.

2004
01:59:33,590 --> 01:59:38,580
I would suggest that we look
into advertising are promoting

2005
01:59:38,590 --> 01:59:39,580
it to some

2006
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:44,000
other companies to come in and
resubmit for the April.

2007
01:59:44,610 --> 01:59:45,710
A round of it.

2008
01:59:47,150 --> 01:59:48,280
That decision is yours.

2009
01:59:50,190 --> 01:59:50,950
Any comments.

2010
01:59:54,130 --> 01:59:55,940
>> What is the question here.
And so right now it doesn't

2011
01:59:55,950 --> 01:59:58,840
feel like it's most feasible
option. And so for us the kind

2012
01:59:58,850 --> 02:00:01,580
of bold move for the just an
action item. There's a

2013
02:00:01,590 --> 02:00:04,060
possibility of repression.
The project in the spring.

2014
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:05,820
Yeah, absolutely. Okay.

2015
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:09,580
>> I think some of the direct a
language changes after December

2016
02:00:09,590 --> 02:00:13,360
31st. But we can work with
that, too. All right. Thank

2017
02:00:13,370 --> 02:00:13,660
you.

2018
02:00:14,090 --> 02:00:15,280
I have a question.

2019
02:00:15,630 --> 02:00:19,660
>> This this company as in most
of our projects. Correct.

2020
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:22,280
Do you have any

2021
02:00:23,260 --> 02:00:24,580
in clean that they're being
other

2022
02:00:25,170 --> 02:00:27,000
company out there that would be
interested in.

2023
02:00:28,130 --> 02:00:32,760
>> I have asked that of the
engineers and then they felt

2024
02:00:32,770 --> 02:00:36,450
that they could go out and
directs listen to some of these

2025
02:00:36,460 --> 02:00:39,870
other companies that around.
I won't mention any other names

2026
02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:44,040
right now, but that they could
possibly put in a submission

2027
02:00:44,050 --> 02:00:47,860
for the rfp to do this. So just
to have some competition on it.

2028
02:00:48,870 --> 02:00:51,790
And do you. I don't know if it
be cheaper or not. But.

2029
02:00:51,830 --> 02:00:56,100
>> Yeah. And do you think that
they why they didn't

2030
02:00:57,190 --> 02:00:59,060
submitting first place given
up.

2031
02:00:59,210 --> 02:01:02,850
>> I have no idea why why they
wouldn't if they do have enough

2032
02:01:02,860 --> 02:01:06,750
business that they don't look
at our fees are I really don't

2033
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:07,920
know the answer to that.

2034
02:01:12,590 --> 02:01:15,340
>> I have mixed feelings on
this because

2035
02:01:17,890 --> 02:01:19,430
the cost would be

2036
02:01:20,020 --> 02:01:23,800
less than 50% of what the total
is with all that with all that

2037
02:01:23,810 --> 02:01:24,420
and

2038
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:27,080
grants and everything.

2039
02:01:27,850 --> 02:01:28,970
And

2040
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,750
we're going to be paying the
electric bill

2041
02:01:35,290 --> 02:01:36,050
every year.

2042
02:01:38,340 --> 02:01:40,590
>> That decision is up to you
guys

2043
02:01:41,340 --> 02:01:42,060
for that.

2044
02:01:48,410 --> 02:01:54,280
>> I I I worry that these
grandson and credits are going

2045
02:01:54,290 --> 02:01:54,910
to go away

2046
02:01:55,640 --> 02:01:56,900
and the longer the wait,

2047
02:01:58,390 --> 02:02:00,600
the less that that you'll get

2048
02:02:01,720 --> 02:02:03,460
and the prices keep going up

2049
02:02:04,610 --> 02:02:06,610
and we know electricity keeps
going up.

2050
02:02:10,940 --> 02:02:12,850
There's definitely a potential
for that.

2051
02:02:13,350 --> 02:02:13,920
I mean, I

2052
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:18,650
I'm almost inclined to proceed.

2053
02:02:20,810 --> 02:02:21,710
I'm not the only one

2054
02:02:25,930 --> 02:02:26,670
in the comments.

2055
02:02:28,220 --> 02:02:29,250
I mean, I would make a motion.

2056
02:02:30,730 --> 02:02:33,970
>> Make motion based on the
information provided that we

2057
02:02:33,980 --> 02:02:36,700
don't move forward and move
with the recommendation to do

2058
02:02:36,710 --> 02:02:41,740
back in the spring pushing tour
with my motion is to support

2059
02:02:45,850 --> 02:02:47,310
to not proceed

2060
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:51,560
with this project as it's
currently done because of the

2061
02:02:51,570 --> 02:02:54,250
financial returns and revisit
it in the spring.

2062
02:02:55,420 --> 02:02:56,410
Hey, by the second.

2063
02:02:59,170 --> 02:03:02,100
>> It's been moved by trusty
Cherokee this and seconded by

2064
02:03:02,110 --> 02:03:06,110
trusty Wagner to approve
staff's recommendation to not

2065
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:09,880
proceed with the solar project
any more comments or questions

2066
02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,340
if such if this is going on
eagle close

2067
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:19,190
in the second year in a second

2068
02:03:20,590 --> 02:03:23,160
because its financial, maybe we
should not. That's true.

2069
02:03:23,170 --> 02:03:26,460
That's your second. I withdraw
my second. Okay to have another

2070
02:03:26,470 --> 02:03:26,960
second

2071
02:03:28,260 --> 02:03:32,050
all second. Okay. Been moved by
trustee chair cages and

2072
02:03:32,060 --> 02:03:35,690
seconded by trusty lead to not
move forward for the with the

2073
02:03:35,700 --> 02:03:37,430
staff recommendation to

2074
02:03:37,850 --> 02:03:40,620
move forward with the staff
recommendation to not proceed

2075
02:03:40,630 --> 02:03:43,490
with. So the project said the
correct. Okay.

2076
02:03:44,340 --> 02:03:45,150
Comments questions.

2077
02:03:46,910 --> 02:03:49,090
>> I agree with you, trustee
for think these are going to

2078
02:03:49,100 --> 02:03:52,000
get shorted probably sooner
than later. But I think

2079
02:03:52,370 --> 02:03:53,440
a couple months out

2080
02:03:54,420 --> 02:03:59,240
Cushing drills even saying that
this is strangely high just

2081
02:03:59,250 --> 02:04:01,280
cost. So hopefully we can get
that done with some

2082
02:04:01,290 --> 02:04:04,200
competition, OK, I agree with
you, OK.

2083
02:04:06,220 --> 02:04:07,850
Make them move forward for the
vote.

2084
02:04:08,090 --> 02:04:10,970
>> This is a financial. So
could you take roll call,

2085
02:04:10,980 --> 02:04:12,510
please. Absolutely.

2086
02:04:13,340 --> 02:04:15,060
Trust us more time.

2087
02:04:18,300 --> 02:04:19,860
Just eat Turkey to start

2088
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:22,880
trust the regular.

2089
02:04:23,380 --> 02:04:27,900
She was given no P don't
apologize to just be hey,

2090
02:04:27,910 --> 02:04:28,550
for now

2091
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:32,330
to see that are a guest

2092
02:04:34,330 --> 02:04:36,500
trusted you to see. Yes,

2093
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:39,200
interesting are some guests.

2094
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:43,280
>> Motion passes. We will delay
and hopefully get better

2095
02:04:43,290 --> 02:04:44,110
numbers in spring

2096
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:50,930
and that the motions,
everything for me for I have

2097
02:04:52,220 --> 02:04:56,590
3 yeses and 3 know us know

2098
02:05:01,090 --> 02:05:04,250
no. Yes, except opened.

2099
02:05:05,410 --> 02:05:09,110
I confuse them. I apologize.
Okay. It was a negative vote.

2100
02:05:09,120 --> 02:05:13,020
Yeah. Yes. Haha so thank you.
Okay.

2101
02:05:15,190 --> 02:05:17,850
All right. So that was planning
development.

2102
02:05:19,970 --> 02:05:21,960
So then the next item is
stakeholders.

2103
02:05:24,020 --> 02:05:25,270
All right. We started

2104
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:31,380
discussing further on the
rebalancing situation and we

2105
02:05:31,390 --> 02:05:36,800
started off that gave us some
background on the 2014, 2015

2106
02:05:36,810 --> 02:05:39,240
redistricting project of what
Cropper didn't

2107
02:05:39,710 --> 02:05:41,960
and kind of updated us on

2108
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:46,100
the changes in enrollment and
different to use the facilities

2109
02:05:46,110 --> 02:05:48,510
and and things like that.

2110
02:05:49,690 --> 02:05:51,350
We talked a lot about what

2111
02:05:54,250 --> 02:05:58,610
superintendent Garcia presented
in his meeting or in his

2112
02:05:58,620 --> 02:06:00,610
presentation. As far as the
numbers go in

2113
02:06:01,110 --> 02:06:05,300
and the trends of enrollment
over time and then also brought

2114
02:06:05,310 --> 02:06:08,980
in the into the discussion, the
charter schools and that impact

2115
02:06:08,990 --> 02:06:10,380
on the school population.

2116
02:06:11,110 --> 02:06:13,030
We decided to

2117
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:19,440
to create a and ad hoc
committee with Mister Class A

2118
02:06:19,450 --> 02:06:23,070
and sac on it as well as some
community members, too. Really

2119
02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:24,130
kind of look at the

2120
02:06:24,820 --> 02:06:28,470
fine tuning of the rebalancing
the and not really make it a

2121
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:28,980
big

2122
02:06:29,590 --> 02:06:32,070
overhaul as far as boundaries
go,

2123
02:06:32,550 --> 02:06:34,590
trying to keep it simple.
So that's where we're at right

2124
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:35,660
now with that

2125
02:06:37,860 --> 02:06:40,450
doctor Garcia did hand out some
information about some

2126
02:06:40,460 --> 02:06:44,450
legislative actions and that
information will be attached to

2127
02:06:44,460 --> 02:06:46,810
the minutes that anyone is
interested in out. We didn't

2128
02:06:46,820 --> 02:06:49,250
have a lot of time after to
really talk about it. But

2129
02:06:49,260 --> 02:06:53,150
rather than just received the
information. And then we have

2130
02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:56,850
to postpone or discussion on
the budget, communication and

2131
02:06:57,160 --> 02:06:59,850
education strategies that the
community took the next meeting

2132
02:06:59,860 --> 02:07:01,550
will continue that then

2133
02:07:04,830 --> 02:07:06,060
questions for Theresa.

2134
02:07:08,550 --> 02:07:11,610
All right. Thank you.
Performance monitoring.

2135
02:07:15,460 --> 02:07:15,930
Roger,

2136
02:07:23,820 --> 02:07:26,360
thank you. Chair from just a
quick update and will be

2137
02:07:26,370 --> 02:07:28,300
covered at our meeting. Last
Monday.

2138
02:07:28,810 --> 02:07:31,650
>> We had a good discussion on
coming up with different ways

2139
02:07:31,660 --> 02:07:34,790
to let our community know about
how our students are learning

2140
02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:38,330
and growing. So we had a nice
way of us thinking a different

2141
02:07:38,340 --> 02:07:41,210
ways to talk about student
success and what that looks

2142
02:07:41,220 --> 02:07:43,090
like in our district as we
know, there's a lot of that to

2143
02:07:43,100 --> 02:07:43,700
celebrate

2144
02:07:45,220 --> 02:07:49,340
our conversation conducted
continued on us to celebrate

2145
02:07:49,350 --> 02:07:52,250
like doctor Garcia mention
earlier this evening are

2146
02:07:52,260 --> 02:07:56,030
tremendous growth he's seen are
in our K 8 students on our NW

2147
02:07:56,040 --> 02:07:57,470
scores over the last 3 years.

2148
02:07:58,230 --> 02:08:02,010
And I'm also we acknowledge
that historically high

2149
02:08:02,460 --> 02:08:07,320
past rate, if you will, and
students taking AP exams in our

2150
02:08:07,330 --> 02:08:10,780
district. We have 82% of our
students achieve a 3 or better

2151
02:08:11,210 --> 02:08:16,560
which well nationally and is
recognizes passing so

2152
02:08:16,570 --> 02:08:19,270
incredible growth over time
over the last few years

2153
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:19,740
without.

2154
02:08:21,820 --> 02:08:24,120
And then of course, just
celebrating our continued

2155
02:08:24,130 --> 02:08:27,180
growth in offering
certifications to our students.

2156
02:08:27,190 --> 02:08:29,670
So maybe they walk away with

2157
02:08:30,240 --> 02:08:33,440
certification or credential
when they graduate or some dual

2158
02:08:33,450 --> 02:08:38,040
credit options or AP credits
along with their deployment.

2159
02:08:38,050 --> 02:08:38,520
So

2160
02:08:39,060 --> 02:08:41,110
just really just a quick
summary. That's what we

2161
02:08:41,120 --> 02:08:43,250
discussed and we're looking
forward to meeting again in

2162
02:08:43,260 --> 02:08:48,210
October and discussing some
fall benchmarking. And so,

2163
02:08:48,220 --> 02:08:51,180
you know, if a trustee Wagner
has anything to add or.

2164
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:54,970
>> You know, I was have been
affected and I was thankful for

2165
02:08:54,980 --> 02:08:56,860
how he presented the
information. And I thought it

2166
02:08:56,870 --> 02:08:59,220
was really well done. Okay.
Yeah. Thank you.

2167
02:08:59,960 --> 02:09:01,890
>> Any questions? I know
there's a lot of data there,

2168
02:09:01,900 --> 02:09:05,260
but we kind of had a discussion
as a committee to

2169
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:08,700
bring ways to celebrate.
And I'm just give you guys the

2170
02:09:08,710 --> 02:09:12,980
highlights. So we like good
news. Okay. Any other questions

2171
02:09:12,990 --> 02:09:13,550
for Roger.

2172
02:09:15,570 --> 02:09:16,320
Thank you. Roger.

2173
02:09:19,940 --> 02:09:21,880
>> Curriculum and instruction.

2174
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:25,700
I believe first one is from
Anthony.

2175
02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:36,730
I feel like I've been up here
lots of times tonight.

2176
02:09:37,140 --> 02:09:40,210
We're asking for your approval
to extend their contract with

2177
02:09:40,220 --> 02:09:43,120
the Center for collaborative
expertise to continue on the

2178
02:09:43,130 --> 02:09:44,460
visible learning journey.

2179
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:48,280
Currently, we have 5 more
schools that are going toward

2180
02:09:48,290 --> 02:09:51,460
certification and this will
close out our transformational

2181
02:09:51,470 --> 02:09:52,420
learning funds.

2182
02:09:55,410 --> 02:10:00,660
OK, so are these 4 separate
contract. So to contracts one

2183
02:10:00,670 --> 02:10:03,600
for next year when for the
following year and then the

2184
02:10:03,610 --> 02:10:09,950
sole source provider as well as
financial Todd attachments that

2185
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:14,510
we can do this in one. Yes.
So the suggestion action is to

2186
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:16,900
approve the expenditure for
visible learning.

2187
02:10:17,400 --> 02:10:20,200
>> Also known as the Center for
collaborative expertise

2188
02:10:20,210 --> 02:10:24,880
training for the 2728 2829
school years.

2189
02:10:27,970 --> 02:10:29,960
So you have any died in motion.

2190
02:10:30,490 --> 02:10:33,150
I can make the motion to
approve the expenditure for

2191
02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:35,270
visible learning OK. And you
have second,

2192
02:10:37,530 --> 02:10:40,120
it's been moved by trusty
Wagner and seconded veterans.

2193
02:10:40,130 --> 02:10:42,790
You do see to approve
expenditure for the visible

2194
02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:47,110
learning training for 2728 in
2021 school years.

2195
02:10:48,540 --> 02:10:49,990
Do we have any questions for
camp

2196
02:10:52,980 --> 02:10:54,060
comments questions.

2197
02:10:58,990 --> 02:11:01,900
All those in favor say aye.
Aye. Any opposed

2198
02:11:08,650 --> 02:11:11,780
item advisory Committee for
professional development.

2199
02:11:16,830 --> 02:11:19,910
Good evening again. So on
behalf of the acpd committee.

2200
02:11:19,920 --> 02:11:20,430
We are.

2201
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:23,970
>> Looking for your approval of
our special requesting course

2202
02:11:23,980 --> 02:11:26,900
proposals that were reviewed
and recommended to you

2203
02:11:30,780 --> 02:11:32,700
give questions now you want

2204
02:11:33,860 --> 02:11:35,370
the okay. It go ahead.

2205
02:11:35,570 --> 02:11:40,200
>> But I guess just one
question of are these rolling

2206
02:11:40,210 --> 02:11:46,290
like requests. So is it just
opened for teachers to putting

2207
02:11:46,300 --> 02:11:47,890
request for

2208
02:11:48,750 --> 02:11:51,440
the professional development at
any point throughout the school

2209
02:11:51,450 --> 02:11:51,730
year.

2210
02:11:52,100 --> 02:11:56,330
>> Yes. So this special
requests are courses that

2211
02:11:56,340 --> 02:12:00,260
they're requesting to get
approved to fulfill their 18

2212
02:12:00,270 --> 02:12:04,290
hours a PR trade that's
required. And so they have

2213
02:12:04,300 --> 02:12:05,830
Intel

2214
02:12:06,490 --> 02:12:09,920
the end of April to complete
those. And there's timelines

2215
02:12:09,930 --> 02:12:14,010
every month there. We requested
to be submitted by so that our

2216
02:12:14,020 --> 02:12:16,950
committee can review so that we
can set the agenda for

2217
02:12:16,960 --> 02:12:18,330
tonight's meeting.

2218
02:12:19,190 --> 02:12:21,170
Yeah, they can request that
throughout the year and

2219
02:12:21,180 --> 02:12:22,250
throughout the summer as well.

2220
02:12:26,850 --> 02:12:29,220
>> Any other questions? All
right. We have a motion to

2221
02:12:29,230 --> 02:12:32,430
approve the attached special
requests, in course proposals

2222
02:12:32,440 --> 02:12:34,800
has reviewed by the advisory
Committee for professional

2223
02:12:34,810 --> 02:12:36,550
development and recommended to
the board.

2224
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:41,530
All those in favor say aye.
Aye. Any opposed

2225
02:12:42,470 --> 02:12:44,660
motion passes. Thank you for
your time. Thank you.

2226
02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:48,670
The charter school updates.

2227
02:13:03,210 --> 02:13:05,930
I had the pleasure of
introducing principal ally

2228
02:13:05,940 --> 02:13:07,720
Zandt, who is our principal.

2229
02:13:07,950 --> 02:13:11,500
>> I'm new to the Washington
innovation center who oversees

2230
02:13:12,110 --> 02:13:15,370
the Billings opportunity school
and the Burling Billings early

2231
02:13:15,380 --> 02:13:20,160
College school. So we have a
quick brief presentation put

2232
02:13:20,170 --> 02:13:22,600
together for you. But part of
why we're here tonight as is to

2233
02:13:22,610 --> 02:13:23,310
fulfill

2234
02:13:24,470 --> 02:13:27,010
your obligations of the
governing board of our charter

2235
02:13:27,020 --> 02:13:29,770
schools. We have to present you
with these quarterly. So it's

2236
02:13:29,780 --> 02:13:33,660
good to give you a brief
introduction to our charter

2237
02:13:33,670 --> 02:13:36,560
schools and then we'll follow
that with a principle called

2238
02:13:36,570 --> 02:13:40,240
Hill who will talk about the
Billings multi-lingual Academy,

2239
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:43,050
which is technically to schools
just remind you guys. It's a

2240
02:13:43,060 --> 02:13:47,020
middle school and high school.
So I'm Ali did have a couple of

2241
02:13:47,030 --> 02:13:49,710
and on some of the past around
you guys. But a letter to

2242
02:13:49,720 --> 02:13:50,310
collect.

2243
02:13:50,750 --> 02:13:53,900
>> Good evening. So I did have
some light reading for you guys

2244
02:13:53,910 --> 02:13:56,290
because I didn't want to have a
bunch on the sites for you.

2245
02:13:56,300 --> 02:13:56,720
So

2246
02:13:56,980 --> 02:13:59,690
when you have a spare moment
feel free to read. So I just

2247
02:13:59,700 --> 02:14:02,190
want to start with early
college side and talk a little

2248
02:14:02,200 --> 02:14:04,950
bit about what we're about,
where we're at and where we're

2249
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:06,070
hoping to move. So

2250
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:10,990
it is an individualized for
your plan that really kind of

2251
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:14,400
honing in on college readiness
getting them ready for that

2252
02:14:14,410 --> 02:14:17,410
next step and that's maybe will
probably one of the biggest

2253
02:14:17,420 --> 02:14:19,920
things that distinguishes it
from maybe what they're doing

2254
02:14:19,930 --> 02:14:21,150
in their area, high schools

2255
02:14:22,540 --> 02:14:25,210
and then when they have
supported access to their

2256
02:14:25,220 --> 02:14:26,380
college coursework

2257
02:14:26,900 --> 02:14:30,150
and then a plan, an
individualized plan that

2258
02:14:30,160 --> 02:14:32,570
they're working through with
our counselor as to what that

2259
02:14:32,580 --> 02:14:36,460
kind of looks after the like
down the road. So when we

2260
02:14:37,120 --> 02:14:42,210
initiated this school, we're at
53. We're at a 131 for our

2261
02:14:42,220 --> 02:14:43,340
current enrollment.

2262
02:14:44,220 --> 02:14:44,810
So

2263
02:14:45,790 --> 02:14:49,960
what I did is I came up with 3
goals for each of the 2 charter

2264
02:14:49,970 --> 02:14:55,280
schools. So my first the first
goal and I used the performance

2265
02:14:55,290 --> 02:14:57,640
framework that we're
responsible for answering to

2266
02:14:57,650 --> 02:14:58,980
through P. I

2267
02:14:59,480 --> 02:15:03,870
so we're first one is to expand
enrollment. And I think the key

2268
02:15:03,880 --> 02:15:06,380
to our expanding enrollment is
going to come with better

2269
02:15:06,390 --> 02:15:12,280
communication. So I've sort of
outlined in far greater detail

2270
02:15:12,290 --> 02:15:12,830
there. But

2271
02:15:14,850 --> 02:15:18,310
what that might look like, how
we might better communicate

2272
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:20,800
with the our middle schools

2273
02:15:21,270 --> 02:15:25,150
in some of our freshman nights
where we're talking with those

2274
02:15:25,160 --> 02:15:29,310
families and then just through
social media, like what a real

2275
02:15:29,320 --> 02:15:31,500
about what are the
opportunities that we have.

2276
02:15:31,510 --> 02:15:35,360
What distinguishes early
College and opportunities that

2277
02:15:35,370 --> 02:15:36,280
those kiddos have

2278
02:15:37,980 --> 02:15:42,020
kind of the key. I'm here on
the white part is that our kids

2279
02:15:42,030 --> 02:15:44,860
don't have to get to us.
They're not going to come to us

2280
02:15:44,870 --> 02:15:46,650
necessarily college ready.
That sort of.

2281
02:15:47,050 --> 02:15:50,170
>> What we're helping them work
through maybe a little bit of

2282
02:15:50,180 --> 02:15:53,490
that rigor with some additional
support from the teachers in

2283
02:15:53,500 --> 02:15:56,300
the building that are going to
kind of stare step them through

2284
02:15:56,310 --> 02:15:57,170
that process.

2285
02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:03,000
The second goal is to ensure
there progress through this

2286
02:16:03,010 --> 02:16:06,580
early college pathway. So right
now we're sitting at about 88%

2287
02:16:06,590 --> 02:16:09,830
of our kiddos that are getting
anywhere from like these

2288
02:16:09,840 --> 02:16:13,580
through seas. And that's so
that's the great. But that's

2289
02:16:13,590 --> 02:16:16,940
also attendance. And we're
looking at and we'd like to

2290
02:16:16,950 --> 02:16:21,960
push that to 90% or kids
receiving anywhere from phase 3

2291
02:16:21,970 --> 02:16:25,990
C's and then at 90% or better
attendance rate

2292
02:16:27,310 --> 02:16:30,970
and then we want to really be
intentional about how we're

2293
02:16:30,980 --> 02:16:32,300
preparing these kiddos

2294
02:16:32,800 --> 02:16:34,350
what that's going to look like.

2295
02:16:35,190 --> 02:16:37,910
We threw their sophomore year
to be taking these college

2296
02:16:37,920 --> 02:16:41,670
courses and be responsible for
those college credits like we

2297
02:16:41,680 --> 02:16:43,790
we have work to do to make sure
these candles are ready and

2298
02:16:43,800 --> 02:16:47,080
understand the impact of taking
these college courses in that

2299
02:16:47,090 --> 02:16:47,500
kind of

2300
02:16:48,190 --> 02:16:50,650
staying with them through any
college experience.

2301
02:16:52,210 --> 02:16:55,780
So one of those ways that we're
going to do that is through

2302
02:16:55,790 --> 02:16:58,220
being really deliberate in our
individualized pathway center.

2303
02:16:58,230 --> 02:16:59,260
Counselor works

2304
02:17:02,530 --> 02:17:06,040
really diligently to do to get
to know the kids find out what

2305
02:17:06,050 --> 02:17:08,400
are their goals aspirations.
What they want to do. Why are

2306
02:17:08,410 --> 02:17:09,050
they there

2307
02:17:11,360 --> 02:17:13,760
making sure we're checking in
with some a lot that we're

2308
02:17:13,770 --> 02:17:16,560
looking at quarterly progress
with these kids is probably

2309
02:17:16,570 --> 02:17:18,250
actually more than quarterly.
It's

2310
02:17:19,050 --> 02:17:21,830
every 6 weeks that were really
kind of diving into where

2311
02:17:21,840 --> 02:17:22,490
they're at.

2312
02:17:24,030 --> 02:17:28,640
Make sure that we are working
in conjunction with MSU and

2313
02:17:28,650 --> 02:17:31,800
City College to help these
kiddos and then these college

2314
02:17:31,810 --> 02:17:35,080
ready learning have. That's
that even just when you walk in

2315
02:17:35,090 --> 02:17:37,790
the building they can to get
hit with that information.

2316
02:17:37,800 --> 02:17:40,230
What are some of those skills
that we need to start to be

2317
02:17:40,240 --> 02:17:40,940
college ready

2318
02:17:41,570 --> 02:17:45,300
and then goal number 3 for the
early college is to strengthen

2319
02:17:45,310 --> 02:17:48,260
college readiness through some
of those early interventions.

2320
02:17:48,270 --> 02:17:49,210
So that were

2321
02:17:49,720 --> 02:17:53,050
catching those kids when they
start to get a little bit more

2322
02:17:53,060 --> 02:17:55,850
of a well, maybe we see those
great start to dip. What what

2323
02:17:55,860 --> 02:17:58,480
are some of those and what are
some of those interventions

2324
02:17:58,490 --> 02:18:00,020
that we're going to take with
these kiddos

2325
02:18:00,620 --> 02:18:04,100
that we're looking at the big
picture that it's not just the

2326
02:18:04,110 --> 02:18:06,580
counselors but that our teams
are working pretty closely

2327
02:18:06,590 --> 02:18:09,330
together to talk about when
kids are when we see those kids

2328
02:18:09,340 --> 02:18:10,670
start to fall off a little bit

2329
02:18:15,330 --> 02:18:17,750
that we're monitoring those
individualized plans and

2330
02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:22,250
adjusting them because we know
these kids is as they work

2331
02:18:22,260 --> 02:18:24,920
through their high school
experience. Maybe some of what

2332
02:18:24,930 --> 02:18:26,810
they thought was their
trajectory changes a little

2333
02:18:26,820 --> 02:18:29,880
bit. So maybe we are just some
of those individualized plans

2334
02:18:30,990 --> 02:18:34,210
and that if we see some kiddos
that are struggling, that we

2335
02:18:34,220 --> 02:18:36,070
kind of building that support
there for him.

2336
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:39,880
So that's a little bit on the
early college side

2337
02:18:40,500 --> 02:18:42,460
opportunity side.

2338
02:18:43,880 --> 02:18:47,410
Currently we have a 123 were
actually I think it's supposed

2339
02:18:47,420 --> 02:18:50,360
to be at a 120. So we're a
little bit over our enrollment

2340
02:18:50,370 --> 02:18:55,150
numbers. Now 93 of those
kettles are full time. 30 of

2341
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:56,380
them are part time,

2342
02:18:56,890 --> 02:19:00,150
which is awesome that we can
service that many kiddos

2343
02:19:00,790 --> 02:19:03,390
our first goal here is

2344
02:19:03,870 --> 02:19:08,300
to improve student attendance.
So that's a pretty low number,

2345
02:19:08,310 --> 02:19:10,890
right. 66.8%. So

2346
02:19:12,040 --> 02:19:17,800
the goal here is to shoot for
72% to see about a 5%

2347
02:19:17,810 --> 02:19:21,300
improvement and how we're going
to tackle that because we know

2348
02:19:21,310 --> 02:19:24,030
if we have better attendance,
academics are going to come

2349
02:19:24,040 --> 02:19:26,850
with it. We also can wrap these
kiddos up a little bit better

2350
02:19:27,080 --> 02:19:29,290
if they're there and they have
the supports that we have in

2351
02:19:29,300 --> 02:19:30,310
place for them because

2352
02:19:30,980 --> 02:19:34,000
we have some amazing staff with
some phenomenal support for

2353
02:19:34,010 --> 02:19:36,390
these kiddos. If we can get
them there to utilize those

2354
02:19:36,400 --> 02:19:41,290
supports. So that document you
guys have outlines a lot of the

2355
02:19:41,300 --> 02:19:42,560
different things that we're
going to do.

2356
02:19:43,070 --> 02:19:46,910
The district downtown is
actually supporting checking

2357
02:19:46,920 --> 02:19:49,590
connect for our kiddos at
Washington, which I think will

2358
02:19:49,600 --> 02:19:52,260
be huge once we get kind of a
targeted list of kiddos that

2359
02:19:52,270 --> 02:19:53,810
can really benefit from that

2360
02:19:54,120 --> 02:19:57,460
and attendance is one of those
markers for that

2361
02:19:58,480 --> 02:19:59,320
second goal

2362
02:19:59,890 --> 02:20:04,060
is the strength and clarity and
academic growth and that kind

2363
02:20:04,070 --> 02:20:08,110
of goes back to might come.
Anthony talked about with those

2364
02:20:08,120 --> 02:20:11,060
collaborative expertise teams
and what we're doing with

2365
02:20:11,070 --> 02:20:11,960
visible learning

2366
02:20:12,540 --> 02:20:16,970
we are or didn't meet the
standards and all 4 academic

2367
02:20:16,980 --> 02:20:19,810
areas. There's always room for
growth. Don't want to make sure

2368
02:20:19,820 --> 02:20:22,710
that we maintain that or
improve. So

2369
02:20:23,710 --> 02:20:27,080
how we're going to do that.
Hopefully get having all of our

2370
02:20:27,090 --> 02:20:28,120
key kiddos.

2371
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:33,320
70% of our kiddos with Cesar
better. A man not again is

2372
02:20:33,330 --> 02:20:36,840
going looking at the
proficiency scales that they're

2373
02:20:36,850 --> 02:20:38,890
being evaluated by

2374
02:20:40,020 --> 02:20:42,840
the really deliberate in our
use of learning intentions and

2375
02:20:42,850 --> 02:20:48,540
success criteria. So that like
on that second bullet down

2376
02:20:48,550 --> 02:20:52,190
check that students can explain
their learning and what success

2377
02:20:52,200 --> 02:20:54,410
looks like if kiddos can
explain that kind of thing.

2378
02:20:54,420 --> 02:20:55,220
We know.

2379
02:20:55,450 --> 02:20:57,740
>> With that learning is
advancing at a better rate

2380
02:20:57,750 --> 02:21:00,930
versus them just sitting in
getting and not being able to

2381
02:21:00,940 --> 02:21:02,900
give us any feedback on what
they're learning.

2382
02:21:04,900 --> 02:21:10,650
>> That we're using the impacts
cycle which we do in our Plc's

2383
02:21:10,660 --> 02:21:12,790
to figure out who's getting it
was not what we're going to do

2384
02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:13,470
if they don't.

2385
02:21:14,140 --> 02:21:17,890
And then adjust what we're
doing from there. So super

2386
02:21:17,900 --> 02:21:21,170
optimistic with what the staff
has done so far to kind of help

2387
02:21:21,180 --> 02:21:22,390
move the needle with the kiddos

2388
02:21:22,880 --> 02:21:26,320
and the last one is just to
strengthen those pathways to

2389
02:21:26,330 --> 02:21:27,210
graduation

2390
02:21:27,650 --> 02:21:28,960
and that they are

2391
02:21:32,910 --> 02:21:36,820
where they need to be with
having some ideas. What

2392
02:21:36,830 --> 02:21:39,810
post-graduation looks like that
we can get them there, but then

2393
02:21:39,820 --> 02:21:42,860
have some ideas of what life
post-graduation might look

2394
02:21:42,870 --> 02:21:43,130
like.

2395
02:21:43,650 --> 02:21:44,660
So

2396
02:21:45,670 --> 02:21:48,970
those opportunity kettles also
will have an individualized

2397
02:21:48,980 --> 02:21:52,660
plan which is huge. This the
council works hand-in-hand with

2398
02:21:52,670 --> 02:21:54,820
them. We also have a career
coach that is

2399
02:21:55,330 --> 02:21:58,220
really instrumental in
facilitating this from early

2400
02:21:58,230 --> 02:22:00,850
on. They've already our kiddos
have already done

2401
02:22:01,330 --> 02:22:04,650
like work through zello to look
at, you know what options might

2402
02:22:04,660 --> 02:22:06,000
work well, for them

2403
02:22:06,790 --> 02:22:09,370
based on what they like based
on their strengths, that kind

2404
02:22:09,380 --> 02:22:12,490
of thing. So we start that
early on. And then just start

2405
02:22:13,190 --> 02:22:17,100
helping them work towards that.
Get him out in the community

2406
02:22:17,110 --> 02:22:19,900
internships, that kind of thing
as they progress through school

2407
02:22:21,260 --> 02:22:23,510
and then make sure that we're
keeping track of these kiddos

2408
02:22:23,520 --> 02:22:26,340
if they need support like how
we can get that support for

2409
02:22:26,350 --> 02:22:30,820
them. And like I said, we have
a lot of support field into the

2410
02:22:30,830 --> 02:22:32,330
school for these kids. Also

2411
02:22:33,420 --> 02:22:34,350
that proportion,

2412
02:22:36,640 --> 02:22:37,750
the questions.

2413
02:22:38,810 --> 02:22:39,420
Have a question

2414
02:22:42,350 --> 02:22:45,510
on your opportunity. School
kids. Have you been able to

2415
02:22:45,520 --> 02:22:46,690
identify

2416
02:22:48,030 --> 02:22:51,120
what keeps them from coming to
school. I mean, do you have any

2417
02:22:51,130 --> 02:22:55,740
ideas why they they're not
showing up for

2418
02:22:56,760 --> 02:23:01,060
traumatic home. Life is huge.
Transportation might be an

2419
02:23:01,070 --> 02:23:03,920
issue. Parents that are
incarcerated.

2420
02:23:04,570 --> 02:23:07,580
They're homeless like those are
all things that just in the

2421
02:23:07,590 --> 02:23:11,170
past like 3 days have come up
and are huge road blocks for

2422
02:23:11,180 --> 02:23:14,830
these kiddos that make this
start small think there are

2423
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:18,480
things that at the end of the
day, I can wish in one hand and

2424
02:23:18,540 --> 02:23:20,560
and like it's not going to
matter what we do there.

2425
02:23:20,570 --> 02:23:23,370
Those are just some major road
blocks at these kids in

2426
02:23:23,380 --> 02:23:24,860
families are up against.
So

2427
02:23:25,700 --> 02:23:29,400
that's why the supports that we
have there for people

2428
02:23:31,470 --> 02:23:34,560
that we can wrap those kids up,
even if it's like to go to

2429
02:23:34,570 --> 02:23:37,730
their house and get them that
we I think reached out just

2430
02:23:37,740 --> 02:23:38,780
today to figure out

2431
02:23:39,470 --> 02:23:42,320
we have families just got
evicted like what can we do for

2432
02:23:42,330 --> 02:23:44,940
these kiddos to provide some
stability in their home so that

2433
02:23:44,950 --> 02:23:47,090
they can maybe actually get to
us because I think they

2434
02:23:47,100 --> 02:23:48,080
probably want to.

2435
02:23:48,850 --> 02:23:51,380
But when your basic survival
needs are being met you.

2436
02:23:52,310 --> 02:23:55,050
And that's where a lot of these
kids are at. This is their

2437
02:23:55,060 --> 02:23:57,140
basic needs just are being met.
So

2438
02:24:00,030 --> 02:24:01,570
okay. Any other questions.

2439
02:24:05,840 --> 02:24:07,060
Keep it up. All right.

2440
02:24:07,620 --> 02:24:09,370
Thank you, guys. Thank you.

2441
02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:18,490
>> And who do we have here.
Multi-lingual school, middle

2442
02:24:18,500 --> 02:24:20,460
school and high school

2443
02:24:20,990 --> 02:24:21,690
clutter.

2444
02:24:22,210 --> 02:24:25,760
>> I'm straight cool to see all
again Cole.

2445
02:24:27,050 --> 02:24:30,430
And here to talk to you about
the multi. Look at. So thanks

2446
02:24:30,440 --> 02:24:31,550
for making time for me tonight.

2447
02:24:32,940 --> 02:24:34,270
We do it.

2448
02:24:34,970 --> 02:24:38,240
I was in the upper. You would
call our guy.

2449
02:24:41,140 --> 02:24:42,350
All right. So

2450
02:24:42,820 --> 02:24:48,290
our advisory board met a couple
weeks ago and we're making this

2451
02:24:48,410 --> 02:24:53,120
the quarterly. And so our goal
with this is to increase our

2452
02:24:53,130 --> 02:24:55,780
stakeholder input and

2453
02:24:56,520 --> 02:24:59,670
I get some of that guidance on
our day-to-day operations as we

2454
02:24:59,680 --> 02:25:05,690
plan ahead. You can see our for
the participants of or advisory

2455
02:25:05,700 --> 02:25:09,390
board are listed there. We are
looking with our recent growth

2456
02:25:09,400 --> 02:25:13,140
to increase our advisory board
to include some folks for

2457
02:25:13,150 --> 02:25:17,000
indigenous community because
our largest growth, which we'll

2458
02:25:17,010 --> 02:25:20,630
talk about a little bit is our
indigenous pathway, which will

2459
02:25:20,640 --> 02:25:24,320
definitely celebrating that our
priorities for this year

2460
02:25:24,330 --> 02:25:29,690
sustainable enrollment growth
because we actually need to the

2461
02:25:29,700 --> 02:25:32,230
larger in order to be
sustainable. So that is what is

2462
02:25:32,240 --> 02:25:33,540
one of our chief priorities,

2463
02:25:34,050 --> 02:25:37,710
our accountability that we hold
ourselves to that. We intend to

2464
02:25:37,720 --> 02:25:40,360
meet or exceed every
performance framework

2465
02:25:40,370 --> 02:25:44,610
requirements that's we'll get
into those details a little bit

2466
02:25:44,620 --> 02:25:47,350
towards the end and then we're
going to use our partner

2467
02:25:47,360 --> 02:25:50,110
feedback to grow as we move
forward.

2468
02:25:50,710 --> 02:25:53,530
So we have some early successes
to celebrate. If you've been

2469
02:25:53,540 --> 02:25:54,900
watching the news,

2470
02:25:55,910 --> 02:25:58,060
we were in the buildings
because that with the

2471
02:25:58,070 --> 02:26:01,060
indigenous pathway on September
4th. That was some great

2472
02:26:01,070 --> 02:26:04,290
publicity for us really
highlights. And the great work

2473
02:26:04,300 --> 02:26:06,790
that our teachers and our
students are doing. And then

2474
02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:09,210
that was followed by new
segments on Q 2 in color,

2475
02:26:09,220 --> 02:26:12,100
8 really highlighted those
things as well. So we're we've

2476
02:26:12,110 --> 02:26:15,520
got some good momentum. It's
bringing bringing some good

2477
02:26:15,530 --> 02:26:19,250
things our way on our opening
day. We did have staff in our

2478
02:26:19,260 --> 02:26:23,190
neighborhood schools. It's kind
of a different dynamic, but

2479
02:26:23,200 --> 02:26:27,500
because the high schools have
have their different

2480
02:26:28,280 --> 02:26:30,000
the manner in which the

2481
02:26:31,040 --> 02:26:35,820
just a freshman come in and the
new students. And so it creates

2482
02:26:36,060 --> 02:26:38,540
different environment for the
first day. So we have our staff

2483
02:26:38,550 --> 02:26:42,920
on hand for that. One of the
things that is a concern for

2484
02:26:42,930 --> 02:26:46,020
our particular population on
the multilingual side. Not as

2485
02:26:46,030 --> 02:26:51,180
much on the indigenous pathway
side at all. Is the current

2486
02:26:51,190 --> 02:26:55,220
put, you know, climate around
immigration and that's where

2487
02:26:55,230 --> 02:26:57,880
things. So that's why that's
the citizen focus or or is that

2488
02:26:57,890 --> 02:27:00,540
we have used the most recent
guard guidance from doctor

2489
02:27:00,550 --> 02:27:01,120
Garcia

2490
02:27:01,520 --> 02:27:04,380
to make sure staff are up to
date our policies and

2491
02:27:04,390 --> 02:27:07,420
procedures from, you know, of
should any issues arise.

2492
02:27:07,430 --> 02:27:10,520
And so far we have not had any
so but that continues to be a

2493
02:27:10,530 --> 02:27:13,950
main main concern for a lot of
our families. We I have

2494
02:27:13,960 --> 02:27:16,670
conversations probably on a
weekly basis with a with a

2495
02:27:16,680 --> 02:27:20,120
family member, a parent who is
concerned about sending their

2496
02:27:20,130 --> 02:27:23,390
kids to school in general, let
alone our school just because

2497
02:27:23,400 --> 02:27:27,020
of those concerns. So we talk
to those things. One of the

2498
02:27:27,030 --> 02:27:29,650
things that we are looking at
as a possibility. So we're not

2499
02:27:29,660 --> 02:27:31,420
in the planning stages yet,

2500
02:27:31,910 --> 02:27:36,160
but we're kind of exploring the
what ifs of what this would

2501
02:27:36,170 --> 02:27:38,900
look like is moving from our
current model in the bma,

2502
02:27:38,910 --> 02:27:42,440
which is both junior high and
high school all day long

2503
02:27:42,930 --> 02:27:45,780
because each of those groups
still only do half day and then

2504
02:27:45,790 --> 02:27:47,930
we bus them to their
neighborhood schools but

2505
02:27:47,940 --> 02:27:52,410
instead moving to an am PM
model in which the junior high

2506
02:27:52,420 --> 02:27:54,590
be in the morning in the high
school be in the afternoon.

2507
02:27:55,160 --> 02:27:58,380
So the reasons for that are
because our

2508
02:27:59,110 --> 02:28:02,660
currently our afternoon buses
go to 10 different schools in

2509
02:28:02,670 --> 02:28:06,640
our district. And so that
really I'm sure it's our class

2510
02:28:06,650 --> 02:28:09,960
time because the buses will
have no matter what we live for

2511
02:28:09,970 --> 02:28:10,910
buses. And so

2512
02:28:11,360 --> 02:28:14,040
that that's definitely a
concern. So if we were to move

2513
02:28:14,050 --> 02:28:17,320
to this model. We'll have more
information on that later

2514
02:28:17,330 --> 02:28:20,130
meetings. But basically it
would allow us to have

2515
02:28:20,140 --> 02:28:24,080
increased time in the classroom
and it would also allow us to

2516
02:28:24,300 --> 02:28:28,090
hone our focus within each of
our class periods as well as we

2517
02:28:28,100 --> 02:28:31,040
would kind of be able to then
consolidate. So we're working

2518
02:28:31,050 --> 02:28:33,690
through what that may look
like. Also want to make sure

2519
02:28:33,700 --> 02:28:36,320
you guys are all aware that we
have our open House next week.

2520
02:28:36,330 --> 02:28:40,280
Next Tuesday from 6 to 8.
So feel free to come by and

2521
02:28:40,290 --> 02:28:44,060
meet our staff and meet some of
our families will be on the 4th

2522
02:28:44,070 --> 02:28:49,680
floor from 68 and they'll be
pizza 72 so well right.

2523
02:28:50,790 --> 02:28:57,100
Current enrollment in the bma.
So we have a 72 students in the

2524
02:28:57,110 --> 02:29:01,330
in person side of the bma know.
Explain what I mean. One

2525
02:29:01,340 --> 02:29:04,380
specifying that. And those are
all halftime students that we

2526
02:29:04,390 --> 02:29:07,310
have. That's junior high and
high school. And then we have

2527
02:29:07,320 --> 02:29:10,660
87 students in our yield.
The enrollment and those are

2528
02:29:10,670 --> 02:29:14,320
kids that are not on site with
us, but they're in English

2529
02:29:14,330 --> 02:29:17,630
language development classes
that are through us. But at the

2530
02:29:17,640 --> 02:29:20,580
neighborhood schools. And so
what we're trying to do is

2531
02:29:20,590 --> 02:29:22,660
we're trying to build faster
throughout the district with

2532
02:29:22,670 --> 02:29:25,750
the South battle that sheltered
instructional observational

2533
02:29:25,760 --> 02:29:28,620
protocol, which is good
practice for multilingual

2534
02:29:28,630 --> 02:29:32,640
learners. But really all or so
we're doing that and we're

2535
02:29:32,650 --> 02:29:35,520
helping with our multilingual
coaches to get teachers trained

2536
02:29:35,530 --> 02:29:38,660
in that. And so that's kind of
how we're able to increase our

2537
02:29:38,670 --> 02:29:42,530
footprint while minimizing the
impact on the students or in

2538
02:29:42,540 --> 02:29:47,180
other words, it's allowing us
to reach some kids that might

2539
02:29:47,190 --> 02:29:52,390
not normally be able to well
might not normally get our

2540
02:29:52,400 --> 02:29:54,460
services because they don't
want to leave their

2541
02:29:54,470 --> 02:29:56,660
neighborhood school. So we're
bringing some of our services

2542
02:29:56,670 --> 02:29:57,580
to the neighborhood

2543
02:29:59,360 --> 02:30:02,650
staffing changes in the bma.
So we have a new secretary Ryan

2544
02:30:02,660 --> 02:30:05,850
Hartman. She's doing a fabulous
job. Hollywood chesky is our

2545
02:30:05,860 --> 02:30:09,120
new English teacher Mister
Terrill or Terrell. He's

2546
02:30:09,130 --> 02:30:11,990
certain social studies teacher
Corey Smith and Velma white man

2547
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:15,650
runs him. They are in our
indigenous pathway. So they co

2548
02:30:15,660 --> 02:30:19,110
teach that group together.
Corey was with us last year in

2549
02:30:19,120 --> 02:30:22,580
a lesser capacity this year
increase our capacity with us.

2550
02:30:23,040 --> 02:30:27,480
And then our to staff that we
have working in our high

2551
02:30:27,490 --> 02:30:30,720
schools, Argus Goldberg and
shandy love for laci August

2552
02:30:30,730 --> 02:30:35,110
Goldberg. He's at senior high
and he's halftime regular

2553
02:30:35,120 --> 02:30:38,250
English over there. And then
halftime with Ariel, the

2554
02:30:38,260 --> 02:30:41,620
English language development
classes should be overlaid

2555
02:30:41,630 --> 02:30:44,060
covers West and Skyview for
that.

2556
02:30:44,620 --> 02:30:45,350
And

2557
02:30:48,220 --> 02:30:52,070
so in our indigenous pathway
are, you know, one of the

2558
02:30:52,080 --> 02:30:54,380
things I'm really proud about.
This is what got us in the news

2559
02:30:54,760 --> 02:30:58,050
is that we've added live
instruction in Crow language,

2560
02:30:58,060 --> 02:31:02,350
which is as far as I know, it's
a off the reservation. That's a

2561
02:31:02,360 --> 02:31:03,170
first.

2562
02:31:03,440 --> 02:31:06,470
And so that's that's a pretty
big deal. We've got great

2563
02:31:06,480 --> 02:31:10,130
participation and feel free.
Stop by and check it out any

2564
02:31:10,140 --> 02:31:13,230
time because it's it's a large
class of students who are

2565
02:31:13,240 --> 02:31:14,330
really engaged in.

2566
02:31:14,870 --> 02:31:17,350
It's pretty fabulous to see
what's happening up there.

2567
02:31:17,630 --> 02:31:20,660
We do it. We we do have a
Cheyenne language position

2568
02:31:20,670 --> 02:31:24,990
listed for a single class
period. And and we do have an

2569
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:29,830
applicant's. So as soon as that
process falls and is completed.

2570
02:31:30,110 --> 02:31:33,420
We will be adding the Cheyenne
language within as well.

2571
02:31:33,430 --> 02:31:38,280
And just for your perspective
Crow, the

2572
02:31:40,170 --> 02:31:43,360
Crowe students are largest
percentage of indigenous

2573
02:31:43,370 --> 02:31:45,990
students in the district
followed by Shana is our

2574
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:50,200
second. So we're really casting
a wide net were able to offer

2575
02:31:50,210 --> 02:31:53,830
both of these languages and
then through a partnership that

2576
02:31:53,840 --> 02:31:56,550
we have the Buffalo hide
Academy out of brownie.

2577
02:31:57,120 --> 02:32:01,450
That's an alternative school
within their public school up

2578
02:32:01,460 --> 02:32:05,180
in Browning were actually also
offering Blackfoot to block the

2579
02:32:05,190 --> 02:32:08,430
to a few of our students as
well. And that's really cool

2580
02:32:08,440 --> 02:32:12,830
because the cost is 0. So they
are they're pipe and into our

2581
02:32:12,840 --> 02:32:17,510
classroom with live instruction
through through Google and meet

2582
02:32:17,520 --> 02:32:20,400
their kids where they are.
And so it's really far we have

2583
02:32:20,410 --> 02:32:22,690
3 different indigenous
languages happening

2584
02:32:24,330 --> 02:32:26,840
happening in the B of a and
that's that's pretty neat.

2585
02:32:26,850 --> 02:32:29,650
So we're excited about that.

2586
02:32:31,520 --> 02:32:34,310
The middle school is up for
accreditation this year.

2587
02:32:34,320 --> 02:32:36,900
So I'll be busy working on that
will be reporting. Back to you

2588
02:32:36,910 --> 02:32:37,690
guys on that.

2589
02:32:41,570 --> 02:32:45,330
So these are so I've 2 slides
that are a little language

2590
02:32:45,340 --> 02:32:48,200
heavy here just to kind of give
you an update on where we are

2591
02:32:48,210 --> 02:32:51,420
with the things where we were
approaches, approaches standard

2592
02:32:51,430 --> 02:32:54,190
and below standard with regard
to the performance framework

2593
02:32:54,570 --> 02:32:58,400
last year. So these are the
things that we're working on to

2594
02:32:58,410 --> 02:33:02,270
make sure that we meet our goal
of the matter of standard in

2595
02:33:02,280 --> 02:33:04,330
all of the performance

2596
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:08,830
criteria. So the mission or
school specific goals. Last

2597
02:33:08,840 --> 02:33:12,640
year we were approached
standard. So we did that.

2598
02:33:12,650 --> 02:33:16,920
A modifier goals to better
align with the SAS assessment

2599
02:33:16,930 --> 02:33:20,770
data that we're using, they're
in place and the we are

2600
02:33:20,780 --> 02:33:24,720
positioned to meet that goal as
well. And then our subgroup

2601
02:33:24,730 --> 02:33:28,360
math proficiency and growth.
We we were approaches standard

2602
02:33:28,370 --> 02:33:31,610
on this last year. And that was
solely because we were not

2603
02:33:31,620 --> 02:33:35,450
aware of the matter in which
this was being measured.

2604
02:33:35,460 --> 02:33:39,340
And so now I'm just being
highlighted for us by the

2605
02:33:39,350 --> 02:33:43,210
framework. We're now actually
utilizing that in our planning.

2606
02:33:43,220 --> 02:33:45,310
So we have a system for that.
So we're working through that

2607
02:33:45,320 --> 02:33:48,830
as well. And then similar with
their post-secondary reddit

2608
02:33:48,840 --> 02:33:54,330
readiness. We are working with
our counselors in getting more

2609
02:33:54,340 --> 02:33:57,420
calls in career prep. Things in
front of our kids. So they're

2610
02:33:57,430 --> 02:33:59,800
ready for that next step.
And then the does not meet

2611
02:33:59,810 --> 02:34:02,860
standard issues. We had 3 of
those as well attendance.

2612
02:34:02,870 --> 02:34:07,290
This is the one that's going to
be tough. You know, we are

2613
02:34:07,610 --> 02:34:10,300
you know, we have a we have
struggles with attendance.

2614
02:34:10,310 --> 02:34:15,990
Our population by large.
I'm just does not have

2615
02:34:17,290 --> 02:34:17,910
average

2616
02:34:18,930 --> 02:34:23,450
does not typically your average
attendance rate. And so that

2617
02:34:23,460 --> 02:34:25,590
stuff. So we are kind of
racking our brains of the

2618
02:34:25,600 --> 02:34:27,930
things that we can do to
improve our attendance to get

2619
02:34:27,940 --> 02:34:31,530
this up to standard, but that
that's honestly probably going

2620
02:34:31,540 --> 02:34:34,220
to be our toughest metric to
meet. So we're we're working on

2621
02:34:34,230 --> 02:34:36,310
that. We're doing that. We are
doing some things that that

2622
02:34:36,320 --> 02:34:39,500
which would include our family
engagement. So within the bma,

2623
02:34:39,510 --> 02:34:43,070
we are doing monthly family
engagement elements. And so

2624
02:34:43,080 --> 02:34:47,660
we're hoping that that can
improve that as well. So we'll

2625
02:34:47,670 --> 02:34:50,230
keep working on that or
recurrent enrollment is

2626
02:34:50,240 --> 02:34:53,910
trending upward in large part
is, is you seen these numbers

2627
02:34:53,920 --> 02:34:56,930
due to our the growth in our
indigenous pathway. So that

2628
02:34:56,940 --> 02:34:59,820
really has taken off. We've got
a lot of kids in there and

2629
02:34:59,830 --> 02:35:03,410
that's going really well so
far. And then the charter

2630
02:35:03,420 --> 02:35:06,010
governing board performance.
The stewardship of what we're

2631
02:35:06,020 --> 02:35:09,830
doing to fix that is in part
this right here. So are meeting

2632
02:35:09,840 --> 02:35:12,670
with the advisory board a
quarterly and then I'm coming

2633
02:35:12,680 --> 02:35:14,990
to you guys quarterly and
hopefully I don't talk too much

2634
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,100
because sometimes they do so

2635
02:35:17,610 --> 02:35:18,610
give me questions fully

2636
02:35:19,620 --> 02:35:20,420
questions.

2637
02:35:21,430 --> 02:35:25,260
>> Comments yesterday. What is
the attendance standard.

2638
02:35:27,080 --> 02:35:29,660
>> So without having the
framework in front of me.

2639
02:35:29,670 --> 02:35:32,600
I believe it's Rogers and 90%.

2640
02:35:37,110 --> 02:35:38,620
Yeah, they want to 90 or above.

2641
02:35:42,210 --> 02:35:44,440
I was actually surprised at
what was marked as our high

2642
02:35:44,450 --> 02:35:47,950
school to amber here. Yeah,
because I would have guessed it

2643
02:35:47,960 --> 02:35:51,990
to be significantly lower just
from my observation. But that's

2644
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:54,730
the data that I pulled off of
the be eyesight. So

2645
02:35:55,670 --> 02:35:58,940
I wasn't argue with them
because his better night

2646
02:35:58,950 --> 02:36:02,890
dissipated. But I do know that
struggle and with our even with

2647
02:36:02,900 --> 02:36:07,320
our population that the it is
our, you know, with the growing

2648
02:36:07,330 --> 02:36:12,010
indigenous pathway population.
You know, that is one of the

2649
02:36:12,020 --> 02:36:15,280
reasons for the indigenous
pathways to give students.

2650
02:36:15,290 --> 02:36:17,280
You know, some of the stunts,
Tom necessarily have a reason

2651
02:36:17,290 --> 02:36:19,650
to come to school, you know,
within them, of course.

2652
02:36:20,210 --> 02:36:23,060
And so, you know, that's part
of the purpose of indigenous

2653
02:36:23,070 --> 02:36:25,470
pathways to help give them a
reason why we're giving them

2654
02:36:25,480 --> 02:36:26,630
language and things. So

2655
02:36:28,330 --> 02:36:30,770
it's just ongoing work. So,

2656
02:36:32,960 --> 02:36:33,620
yes. Theresa,

2657
02:36:34,130 --> 02:36:35,770
what does your advisory board

2658
02:36:36,830 --> 02:36:40,430
all great questions. So we
meet.

2659
02:36:41,170 --> 02:36:43,980
So we we we met for the first
time this year. This month and

2660
02:36:43,990 --> 02:36:48,220
will meet again in January in
and May

2661
02:36:48,770 --> 02:36:52,990
and basically consists of
members of stakeholders from

2662
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:58,280
the community that work with
our students and that can

2663
02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:04,740
basically weigh in on their
perspective as to what

2664
02:37:06,980 --> 02:37:09,710
what might be best for the
direction of the school.

2665
02:37:10,850 --> 02:37:12,930
It's part of the original
charter. So it is a charter

2666
02:37:12,940 --> 02:37:16,440
requirement. So that's
something that I inherited.

2667
02:37:16,450 --> 02:37:18,780
But I think we are like said we
are going to grow because we

2668
02:37:18,790 --> 02:37:20,790
have such a large footprint of
indigenous students now,

2669
02:37:20,800 --> 02:37:23,000
but we don't have any
indigenous representation on

2670
02:37:23,010 --> 02:37:26,200
our advisory board. So we
should. So it's it's

2671
02:37:26,660 --> 02:37:29,310
it's not something that's
binding. It's more what its

2672
02:37:29,320 --> 02:37:33,990
advisory. So they come in and
they so it it's ours is unique

2673
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:38,020
because we have stakeholders
that are served by Lutheran

2674
02:37:38,030 --> 02:37:41,490
families as well as nations to
neighbors to organizations that

2675
02:37:41,500 --> 02:37:44,030
work with migrant families
refugees, things of that

2676
02:37:44,040 --> 02:37:44,450
nature.

2677
02:37:44,940 --> 02:37:49,300
And so they have a very good
finger on the pulse of those

2678
02:37:49,310 --> 02:37:52,830
families. Whereas our
perspective with those families

2679
02:37:52,840 --> 02:37:57,890
is limited. Honestly typically,
too, that kid in school,

2680
02:37:57,900 --> 02:38:02,480
which so they come alongside
the kids. A lot of times

2681
02:38:02,490 --> 02:38:05,240
they'll actually be listed as a
guardian for those students

2682
02:38:05,250 --> 02:38:08,570
empower school because the
families actually want that.

2683
02:38:08,580 --> 02:38:11,470
And so so, you know, they help
them with language to help them

2684
02:38:11,480 --> 02:38:14,250
with paperwork. They let them
know you don't think that they

2685
02:38:14,260 --> 02:38:16,230
should be worried about things
that they shouldn't be worried

2686
02:38:16,240 --> 02:38:19,000
about. So they they get to know
the families a lot better.

2687
02:38:19,010 --> 02:38:21,630
And then when we get together,
we weigh in on this is what

2688
02:38:21,640 --> 02:38:24,790
we're looking at the school.
So it really is a partnership

2689
02:38:28,230 --> 02:38:29,850
new their comments questions.

2690
02:38:30,760 --> 02:38:34,740
>> I just how did how did you
come up with this.

2691
02:38:34,840 --> 02:38:37,530
>> Plan to start teaching the
crew language to are you

2692
02:38:37,540 --> 02:38:40,180
getting feedback or just
somebody have a

2693
02:38:40,550 --> 02:38:42,530
a light bulb moment or we know.

2694
02:38:43,580 --> 02:38:47,110
So this means that the cooling,
which is not new in tow.

2695
02:38:47,860 --> 02:38:51,230
How did it finally come to the
top. This is something we need

2696
02:38:51,240 --> 02:38:51,710
to do.

2697
02:38:54,530 --> 02:38:58,280
>> So. The indigenous pathway
started last year and it

2698
02:38:58,290 --> 02:39:00,820
started as a single class good.

2699
02:39:02,580 --> 02:39:06,540
I was it was me going out.
Recruiting indigenous students

2700
02:39:06,550 --> 02:39:10,530
that are 9 neighborhood, middle
schools and high schools.

2701
02:39:12,080 --> 02:39:14,590
And so I I recruited about is
able to recruit about a dozen

2702
02:39:14,600 --> 02:39:17,910
students. Okay. And I was
selling them on an idea of what

2703
02:39:17,920 --> 02:39:21,630
we wanted to do. And the
unfortunate reality was we

2704
02:39:21,640 --> 02:39:23,860
weren't able to hire the staff
that we

2705
02:39:24,430 --> 02:39:26,860
because we didn't get an
applicant for what we wanted to

2706
02:39:26,870 --> 02:39:27,340
do.

2707
02:39:27,840 --> 02:39:32,510
And so unfortunately our
enrollment at semester of last

2708
02:39:32,520 --> 02:39:36,100
year with an indigenous pathway
almost dropped off completely.

2709
02:39:36,110 --> 02:39:37,900
It would drop down to about 3.

2710
02:39:39,190 --> 02:39:43,150
And then when we were able to
hire. Corey Smith is a former

2711
02:39:43,160 --> 02:39:47,520
start indigent in the unit,
director up in Great Falls.

2712
02:39:47,530 --> 02:39:51,580
Lot of experience within that.
And she came in as a, you know,

2713
02:39:51,590 --> 02:39:54,880
retired administrator now
teacher. She came and she

2714
02:39:54,890 --> 02:39:57,600
started teaching teaching 2
periods a day and she part of

2715
02:39:57,610 --> 02:40:00,690
her job at semesters to help
recruit kids. And so she was

2716
02:40:00,700 --> 02:40:04,470
able to take those 3 kids and
turn it into 12. And so that

2717
02:40:04,480 --> 02:40:06,860
gave us the class when they
were on to something here

2718
02:40:07,400 --> 02:40:09,900
and what we started to
recognize with with Corey

2719
02:40:09,910 --> 02:40:13,370
because, you know, she's little
shell Chippewa. So she's she's

2720
02:40:13,380 --> 02:40:14,700
got that connection with them

2721
02:40:15,190 --> 02:40:20,570
in that she's also indigenous.
And so she's got credibility

2722
02:40:20,580 --> 02:40:24,170
which she was able to do is is
I would say

2723
02:40:25,160 --> 02:40:27,940
close to half of her kids at
some point or another. We had a

2724
02:40:27,950 --> 02:40:30,670
conversations with them.
Okay. It's awesome that you're

2725
02:40:30,680 --> 02:40:34,220
coming here to the bma for
you're in and it just coffee.

2726
02:40:34,230 --> 02:40:36,130
But you also have to show up at
your other school

2727
02:40:36,840 --> 02:40:40,410
because we had kids that were
coming just for her classes and

2728
02:40:40,420 --> 02:40:43,450
then skipping out. And that
really kind of was a light bulb

2729
02:40:43,460 --> 02:40:47,440
moment for us like we need to
let this thing grow and let it

2730
02:40:47,450 --> 02:40:50,580
let it becomes something that
it it. It should be.

2731
02:40:51,000 --> 02:40:53,820
And so we just started opening
up the possibilities. And one

2732
02:40:53,830 --> 02:40:55,390
of the things that came about
was

2733
02:40:56,270 --> 02:41:00,110
the idea of Crow language.
And so with regard to

2734
02:41:00,120 --> 02:41:02,660
indigenous line was the
difficulty is finding people

2735
02:41:02,670 --> 02:41:06,040
that are licensed to teach shot
and that is the new Class,

2736
02:41:06,050 --> 02:41:10,210
A class 7 license and that that
has to basically come from the

2737
02:41:10,650 --> 02:41:14,480
with the blessing of the tribe.
So it's not as simple as you

2738
02:41:14,490 --> 02:41:17,880
know, taking classes and submit
an application to opi. I so

2739
02:41:17,890 --> 02:41:21,410
it's more complicated. They're
harder to find. And we happened

2740
02:41:21,420 --> 02:41:25,650
to have already had Velma white
man runs him on staff. She's

2741
02:41:25,660 --> 02:41:28,160
not only licensed in the Crow
language, but she's written

2742
02:41:28,170 --> 02:41:31,110
several books on the Crow
language. So

2743
02:41:31,550 --> 02:41:35,840
I'm sure we had we had her
right in 2 right in the House

2744
02:41:35,850 --> 02:41:39,660
with us. And so that was kind
of a no-brainer for us. Yeah,

2745
02:41:39,670 --> 02:41:43,040
it's been good. And so being
that we are a language school.

2746
02:41:43,360 --> 02:41:46,540
You know the, you know,
multilingual Academy at that

2747
02:41:46,600 --> 02:41:50,270
makes sense that we start, you
know, incorporating that into

2748
02:41:50,280 --> 02:41:52,650
everything we do and makes a
truer mission. It's great for

2749
02:41:52,660 --> 02:41:55,900
kids. So the great thing about
that is that the kids do get a

2750
02:41:55,910 --> 02:41:59,110
world language credit for that.
So on their transcript will

2751
02:41:59,120 --> 02:42:02,260
secret language. But that's the
same as taking Spanish French

2752
02:42:02,270 --> 02:42:05,220
German what have you so good
stuff. Okay.

2753
02:42:05,730 --> 02:42:07,330
Thank you. Well, excellent.

2754
02:42:08,330 --> 02:42:11,510
>> All right. And comments
questions. Thank you very much.

2755
02:42:11,840 --> 02:42:14,010
Thanks so much from time to
time. But I think it cost

2756
02:42:14,530 --> 02:42:17,440
real quick. Just to answer
trust you Giudice is questions.

2757
02:42:17,450 --> 02:42:21,860
So the the goal for us is that
this to meet the state average

2758
02:42:21,870 --> 02:42:25,700
of 33% of students attending
school. 95 1% or more.

2759
02:42:27,090 --> 02:42:29,330
And then they get kind of like
goes down there from tear.

2760
02:42:29,340 --> 02:42:33,260
So for approaching we have 30
to 32% of students attending

2761
02:42:33,270 --> 02:42:36,020
school 90 to 95 94%

2762
02:42:36,410 --> 02:42:39,340
and then not meeting. It would
be below 30% of students

2763
02:42:39,350 --> 02:42:42,290
attending less than 90%.
So it's kind of a

2764
02:42:42,980 --> 02:42:45,490
a couple things to look at.
But that's a mall that was

2765
02:42:45,500 --> 02:42:48,140
update. You guys on a
throughout the school year.

2766
02:42:51,550 --> 02:42:54,300
>> OK, then I'm moving on.
Billings health science

2767
02:42:54,310 --> 02:42:55,540
Academy. Roger,

2768
02:42:58,070 --> 02:42:59,070
you pass it off.

2769
02:43:02,130 --> 02:43:05,480
Rogers names on here. That's
why I said that. Okay.

2770
02:43:06,090 --> 02:43:07,000
Good evening.

2771
02:43:08,180 --> 02:43:10,780
>> The trustees and
superintendent Garcia. My name

2772
02:43:10,790 --> 02:43:13,900
is Christine Simon son and I'm
the director of Health Sciences

2773
02:43:14,280 --> 02:43:18,270
and I'm here this evening to
ask for your approval. For me

2774
02:43:18,280 --> 02:43:21,110
to submit a proposal to the
Montana Board of public

2775
02:43:21,120 --> 02:43:24,600
education on behalf of
Billings, public schools for a

2776
02:43:24,610 --> 02:43:28,560
health science charter school
prior to tonight's meeting did

2777
02:43:28,570 --> 02:43:33,360
provide you the presentation as
well as a complementary or

2778
02:43:33,370 --> 02:43:37,000
coordinating marketing piece.
That is, as it says, appear

2779
02:43:37,010 --> 02:43:41,300
working design the classes that
we will have the locations of

2780
02:43:41,310 --> 02:43:46,240
them and the teachers are under
discussion still under review.

2781
02:43:46,460 --> 02:43:51,270
That's due to funding location.
What's going to be available to

2782
02:43:51,280 --> 02:43:51,750
us.

2783
02:43:52,260 --> 02:43:55,410
So I'm here to simply ask for
your approval of that unless

2784
02:43:55,420 --> 02:43:57,450
you have any questions or
concerns or if you want to

2785
02:43:57,460 --> 02:44:00,160
actually go through the the
presentation. I can do that as

2786
02:44:00,170 --> 02:44:01,010
well at this time.

2787
02:44:01,940 --> 02:44:03,030
So we have questions

2788
02:44:03,600 --> 02:44:05,280
comments for Christine.

2789
02:44:08,400 --> 02:44:12,540
>> This is to approve
applications. Yes, truth

2790
02:44:12,550 --> 02:44:16,060
imperious. If you come across
any hurdles are barriers that

2791
02:44:16,070 --> 02:44:18,030
you've had to address.

2792
02:44:18,090 --> 02:44:21,190
>> So far, no, actually
everyone in the community has

2793
02:44:21,200 --> 02:44:23,700
been very supportive.
Partnerships are being

2794
02:44:23,710 --> 02:44:27,390
established for possible
locations as well as potential

2795
02:44:27,400 --> 02:44:29,970
health care providers to serve
as the teachers.

2796
02:44:30,400 --> 02:44:33,600
So as of now, I haven't had any
barriers at all.

2797
02:44:34,560 --> 02:44:37,270
So the proposal just so you
know, the proposal, obvious

2798
02:44:37,280 --> 02:44:40,060
meeting at the week of October
26 for the 30th.

2799
02:44:40,520 --> 02:44:44,680
My understanding is I will be
presenting that October 19th

2800
02:44:44,690 --> 02:44:48,230
meeting with more information
because in between now and then

2801
02:44:48,240 --> 02:44:51,690
we'll have more on time doing
more research and building more

2802
02:44:51,700 --> 02:44:54,970
partnerships and getting more
letters of of support, a

2803
02:44:54,980 --> 02:44:58,250
memorandum of understanding.
And we're in some financial

2804
02:44:58,260 --> 02:45:00,440
discussions with some
organizations as well that

2805
02:45:00,450 --> 02:45:02,630
we're going to come through it
to fruition.

2806
02:45:06,150 --> 02:45:10,710
>> So more questions or
comments that suggested action

2807
02:45:10,720 --> 02:45:14,510
to approve the application to
pursue approval of the Billings

2808
02:45:14,520 --> 02:45:17,810
health Sciences Academy by the
Montana board public at and

2809
02:45:17,820 --> 02:45:20,300
authorize the board chair to
send a completed application.

2810
02:45:21,760 --> 02:45:22,500
Yes, sick.

2811
02:45:22,990 --> 02:45:25,990
>> Yeah, I guess one good
either. Look, look, I'm like I

2812
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:27,370
don't have one question on
that. But

2813
02:45:27,840 --> 02:45:31,830
what's the the the proposal for
the charter school for grades,

2814
02:45:31,840 --> 02:45:33,140
1112.

2815
02:45:33,580 --> 02:45:37,770
>> What's it versus 1011 9 or
10. You know, what's why was it

2816
02:45:37,780 --> 02:45:39,570
was a selection for 1112.

2817
02:45:39,800 --> 02:45:44,550
>> It's for 1112 right now
based on potential location

2818
02:45:44,560 --> 02:45:50,910
that can only House up to full
100 8 students total throughout

2819
02:45:50,920 --> 02:45:54,120
the day morning and afternoon.
And so we're going to really

2820
02:45:54,130 --> 02:45:57,890
specific high and classes that
are only be offered to grades

2821
02:45:57,900 --> 02:46:00,350
1112 because of the age
restrictions with some of the

2822
02:46:00,360 --> 02:46:04,410
certifications of them. But the
classes of the career center.

2823
02:46:04,420 --> 02:46:07,330
A lot of those will be
prerequisites suggested classes

2824
02:46:07,340 --> 02:46:11,290
to move into the grades 1112
and the tent intention is we're

2825
02:46:11,300 --> 02:46:15,280
going to start out with I'm
very concrete specific classes

2826
02:46:15,290 --> 02:46:17,800
and then will eventually add
more health science classes

2827
02:46:17,810 --> 02:46:21,680
going down into grades 9.10 and
even potentially add more

2828
02:46:21,690 --> 02:46:23,400
classes for grades, 1112.

2829
02:46:25,530 --> 02:46:26,910
Do you have a location

2830
02:46:29,440 --> 02:46:31,490
and surely his partner,

2831
02:46:32,750 --> 02:46:35,320
several several potential
locations and under the

2832
02:46:35,330 --> 02:46:37,430
umbrella of the health science
charter school in several

2833
02:46:37,440 --> 02:46:39,170
potential locations. Okay.

2834
02:46:40,760 --> 02:46:41,840
All right. To have a motion

2835
02:46:44,530 --> 02:46:45,640
uni buddy.

2836
02:46:46,380 --> 02:46:49,980
>> But make the motion to I'm
sorry. Let me read it

2837
02:46:51,130 --> 02:46:53,610
approve the allocation to
pursue approval of the Billings

2838
02:46:53,620 --> 02:46:57,940
health science Academy by the
Montana border public at and to

2839
02:46:57,950 --> 02:47:00,280
authorize the board to decide
the completed application

2840
02:47:01,100 --> 02:47:04,440
and second it okay to move by
trustee

2841
02:47:05,150 --> 02:47:07,310
turkey. Does it signify just to
lead Rick.

2842
02:47:08,210 --> 02:47:10,150
And we have any more comments
or questions.

2843
02:47:11,130 --> 02:47:15,770
>> All those in favor say aye.
Aye. Any opposed motion passes.

2844
02:47:15,780 --> 02:47:18,050
Thank you. With your
application. Thank you.

2845
02:47:21,060 --> 02:47:23,740
Okay. Policy updates

2846
02:47:24,520 --> 02:47:29,070
first one to 3.20. And

2847
02:47:29,710 --> 02:47:30,790
I know this is Gordon

2848
02:47:31,510 --> 02:47:32,810
so go ahead, Gordon.

2849
02:47:33,070 --> 02:47:36,780
>> So this is our filter policy
and actually trustees Larson

2850
02:47:36,790 --> 02:47:42,470
had asked us to review this.
And so we had sent over to our

2851
02:47:42,480 --> 02:47:45,760
legal team to review. And the
suggestion was to not make any

2852
02:47:45,770 --> 02:47:48,950
changes that are current
practices are meeting your

2853
02:47:48,960 --> 02:47:52,120
needs. But Notre Steelers want
to have a conversation with the

2854
02:47:52,130 --> 02:47:55,250
poor as a whole about it to see
if there were changes over to

2855
02:47:55,260 --> 02:47:57,120
it. Sure, yes. And.

2856
02:47:57,690 --> 02:48:00,880
>> And also you took it to
admin the administrators to get

2857
02:48:00,890 --> 02:48:01,600
some payback,

2858
02:48:02,070 --> 02:48:06,160
which I'm kind of changed my
opinion as well. Initially I

2859
02:48:06,170 --> 02:48:07,570
was hoping to

2860
02:48:08,290 --> 02:48:12,450
have the policy requires to
shop around for every field

2861
02:48:12,460 --> 02:48:12,810
trip.

2862
02:48:13,300 --> 02:48:16,630
And with the feedback from
administrators and yourself an

2863
02:48:16,640 --> 02:48:18,130
illegal. I do appreciate that.

2864
02:48:18,610 --> 02:48:23,790
I know feel like it's most
important to change the policy

2865
02:48:23,800 --> 02:48:29,220
to require 2 adult chaperones
for out of state and I'm sorry

2866
02:48:29,480 --> 02:48:31,150
out of city. No

2867
02:48:31,980 --> 02:48:35,730
out of town. That's a better
way to say it out of town and

2868
02:48:35,740 --> 02:48:38,030
overnight field trips

2869
02:48:38,670 --> 02:48:42,250
and the reasoning. I guess my
concerns are that

2870
02:48:43,210 --> 02:48:47,180
it's well known that the where
and there's 2 adults, the

2871
02:48:47,190 --> 02:48:51,950
likelihood of abuse decreases
head also decreases the chance

2872
02:48:51,960 --> 02:48:58,100
for wrongful accusations of
abuse and also provides an

2873
02:48:58,110 --> 02:49:00,580
extra adult that the student
needed to go to the hospital

2874
02:49:01,300 --> 02:49:03,690
so adult could go with the
student.

2875
02:49:04,040 --> 02:49:05,820
I understand like in town

2876
02:49:06,380 --> 02:49:08,380
field trips. That

2877
02:49:09,240 --> 02:49:12,750
isn't is necessary. I don't
feel any kind of agree that

2878
02:49:12,760 --> 02:49:15,940
that would be OK as both was
just what the feedback we got

2879
02:49:15,950 --> 02:49:19,320
from admin that then felt in
town field trips were

2880
02:49:20,900 --> 02:49:25,780
a little less risky. I suppose
in that respect. So I guess

2881
02:49:25,790 --> 02:49:27,730
they wanted to bring it to the
board to get

2882
02:49:28,540 --> 02:49:33,120
everybody's feedback on it to
see if we could pursue the

2883
02:49:33,130 --> 02:49:37,480
adoption of or I guess pursuit
changing the language to

2884
02:49:37,490 --> 02:49:40,930
require 2 adult chaperones, 4

2885
02:49:41,570 --> 02:49:45,080
out of town and overnight field
trips. So I would like to hear

2886
02:49:45,090 --> 02:49:47,070
some feedback on that, please.

2887
02:49:48,070 --> 02:49:49,730
That's a quick question.
Yeah. Of course.

2888
02:49:50,370 --> 02:49:51,650
>> Is there a

2889
02:49:53,900 --> 02:49:56,860
the distance for out of town
like they're going to Laurel.

2890
02:49:58,600 --> 02:50:00,990
>> Good point. Yeah. We could
discuss that.

2891
02:50:01,140 --> 02:50:03,450
>> Just some of the kind.
We have some students going up

2892
02:50:03,460 --> 02:50:06,680
to red lodge with a face all
females. So the fuel shopper

2893
02:50:06,690 --> 02:50:09,700
all-female an effort to
structure is taking those girls

2894
02:50:09,710 --> 02:50:13,420
up there just for a day.
Leadership training and then

2895
02:50:13,430 --> 02:50:16,300
they come back. Sergino slurs.
This things like that.

2896
02:50:16,610 --> 02:50:19,620
And also I do want to point out
there right now are for

2897
02:50:19,630 --> 02:50:24,070
practices to have on overnight
trips if there are

2898
02:50:24,520 --> 02:50:27,060
male and female students.
There has to be a male and

2899
02:50:27,070 --> 02:50:29,380
female shopper outlet is our
practice. So we have in the

2900
02:50:29,390 --> 02:50:30,660
right place right now.

2901
02:50:31,170 --> 02:50:33,790
>> Which is great to know.
Why did putin may be a missed

2902
02:50:33,800 --> 02:50:37,290
it. I don't know that it's in
writing. This is a it's on the

2903
02:50:37,300 --> 02:50:39,420
it's on the application that
they have to.

2904
02:50:39,670 --> 02:50:43,540
>> Submit to us. And so we what
will I will sign off on it

2905
02:50:43,720 --> 02:50:46,270
unless that meets the
requirements of having and the

2906
02:50:46,280 --> 02:50:48,910
state on the form that they
have to have that as well.

2907
02:50:48,920 --> 02:50:51,430
So it is to put that procedures
in place right now.

2908
02:50:51,840 --> 02:50:55,350
>> Right. And I guess my
concern with out of town isn't

2909
02:50:55,360 --> 02:50:59,820
necessarily I guess the main
part of that is if a student is

2910
02:50:59,830 --> 02:51:01,340
needed to go to the hospital

2911
02:51:01,900 --> 02:51:04,510
if we're in town that the
likelihood of having a

2912
02:51:04,520 --> 02:51:07,440
caretaker parents meet that
student at the hospital as a

2913
02:51:07,450 --> 02:51:11,610
very high likelihood of having
somebody or meet the student at

2914
02:51:11,620 --> 02:51:14,010
the hospital. Morrow is
probably pretty high red

2915
02:51:14,020 --> 02:51:17,250
launch. Maybe not so much for.
But so I guess that's kind of

2916
02:51:17,260 --> 02:51:19,360
the concern there as far as
distance coast

2917
02:51:20,800 --> 02:51:24,670
or at a town. But yeah,
certainly something to identify

2918
02:51:24,680 --> 02:51:25,520
and discuss them.

2919
02:51:27,300 --> 02:51:29,680
So yeah, feedback from the
board.

2920
02:51:30,830 --> 02:51:33,260
The question for you is, is it.

2921
02:51:33,480 --> 02:51:35,890
>> Out of town and overnight or

2922
02:51:37,380 --> 02:51:38,990
AB count or overnight.

2923
02:51:39,350 --> 02:51:42,720
>> Good question, Kate both.
So however, you would say that

2924
02:51:42,730 --> 02:51:44,290
or probably be the right word.

2925
02:51:45,780 --> 02:51:49,980
So if you're going out of town,
but not overnight still to

2926
02:51:49,990 --> 02:51:50,920
still too, right.

2927
02:51:56,870 --> 02:51:59,860
>> I track with what you're
doing. I guess I guess what

2928
02:51:59,870 --> 02:52:03,670
would be Gordon you take a
group of students, too

2929
02:52:04,050 --> 02:52:06,340
great Falls. And there's a
circumstance that means take

2930
02:52:06,350 --> 02:52:08,550
the and you have to go. The
emergency room. Are you taking

2931
02:52:08,560 --> 02:52:11,170
the you all 30 students with
you.

2932
02:52:13,080 --> 02:52:15,120
>> To not muster part of the
new health care science

2933
02:52:15,130 --> 02:52:20,790
Academy. But typically no, you
would not do that. But how

2934
02:52:20,800 --> 02:52:22,920
would you then leave the
students unsupervised.

2935
02:52:23,900 --> 02:52:27,120
If you're on a field trip to
the only chaperone you have to

2936
02:52:27,130 --> 02:52:28,070
transport.

2937
02:52:30,290 --> 02:52:32,700
But what we do over time, we
actually are filtered through

2938
02:52:33,400 --> 02:52:36,620
most the time we do have 2
adults are trips for the most

2939
02:52:36,630 --> 02:52:40,510
part. There are times and we
don't have those. But for the

2940
02:52:40,520 --> 02:52:43,540
most most part, especially are
going to fall into. If you

2941
02:52:43,550 --> 02:52:45,780
would have to. I think about.

2942
02:52:48,040 --> 02:52:51,570
I do feel to go through.
It's a good that's a good

2943
02:52:51,580 --> 02:52:55,590
question. Typically there would
be to add 2 adults and almost

2944
02:52:55,600 --> 02:52:59,400
all of our field trips are some
occasions like and example,

2945
02:52:59,410 --> 02:53:02,840
number 2 was that there were 3,
3, classes going somewhere to

2946
02:53:02,850 --> 02:53:06,800
the class would go once and
then the the 3rd class ago by

2947
02:53:06,810 --> 02:53:14,100
themselves. Some of those are
in town. A high school is

2948
02:53:14,110 --> 02:53:16,550
sometimes a little bit more of
a challenge that they don't do

2949
02:53:16,560 --> 02:53:19,520
long or big trips like that.
They typically

2950
02:53:20,010 --> 02:53:25,930
to. But Dover Park might be
just a biology class Mayo one

2951
02:53:25,940 --> 02:53:30,260
chapter on there. But and then
like in the area of our

2952
02:53:30,270 --> 02:53:31,380
elementary students.

2953
02:53:32,130 --> 02:53:35,600
So example would be, say one of
our elementary schools and go

2954
02:53:35,610 --> 02:53:39,190
to the state Capitol during
legislative session and there

2955
02:53:39,200 --> 02:53:41,950
aren't any. We have some
elementary school without an

2956
02:53:41,960 --> 02:53:42,700
email

2957
02:53:43,730 --> 02:53:47,350
staff members. And so it may be
funny Mills shot from could be

2958
02:53:47,360 --> 02:53:50,090
a little bit of a challenge in
that one in this case. Are you

2959
02:53:50,100 --> 02:53:52,760
saying just 2 in general, this
wouldn't matter. Yeah.

2960
02:53:53,100 --> 02:53:56,280
>> And I also feel like I know
it's been discussed that it be

2961
02:53:56,290 --> 02:53:59,700
a staff member. It's not in
policy. That is a staff member

2962
02:54:00,140 --> 02:54:04,280
and I from what I understand,
the reasoning behind requiring

2963
02:54:04,290 --> 02:54:06,140
the staff members because
they've been background

2964
02:54:06,150 --> 02:54:06,680
checked.

2965
02:54:07,070 --> 02:54:07,960
So what?

2966
02:54:09,070 --> 02:54:11,270
>> And they also know the
students. I mean, you could

2967
02:54:11,280 --> 02:54:13,700
have a parent go. But then they
don't necessarily

2968
02:54:14,630 --> 02:54:16,060
no. Those students.

2969
02:54:16,210 --> 02:54:21,440
>> And having a relationship
some the first child and their

2970
02:54:21,450 --> 02:54:23,860
friends, they are probably know
summit with the parent who

2971
02:54:23,870 --> 02:54:26,980
could do that. They probably
been involved what your school

2972
02:54:26,990 --> 02:54:30,460
to play. So I don't I guess I
feel like a parent isn't out of

2973
02:54:30,470 --> 02:54:31,860
the question. But yeah,

2974
02:54:32,500 --> 02:54:33,990
male female. That's manner.

2975
02:54:36,030 --> 02:54:38,570
>> I just I just want to throw
out

2976
02:54:39,820 --> 02:54:41,370
several years ago,

2977
02:54:42,880 --> 02:54:45,700
April was in elementary school.
We went to the

2978
02:54:46,940 --> 02:54:48,700
museum. Other at it

2979
02:54:49,360 --> 02:54:50,660
in battle.

2980
02:54:51,580 --> 02:54:55,430
And I was actually a chaperone
on the field trip and there was

2981
02:54:56,150 --> 02:54:58,980
could another individual.
I can't remember that far back

2982
02:54:58,990 --> 02:54:59,660
anymore. But

2983
02:55:00,600 --> 02:55:04,160
there is 2 parents or on the
bus purse, the teachers.

2984
02:55:04,170 --> 02:55:07,680
There's quite a few kids.
The more that what

2985
02:55:09,120 --> 02:55:12,140
there's only grateful for you.

2986
02:55:17,130 --> 02:55:19,470
>> Yeah, that's him in full
agreement comes the overnight

2987
02:55:19,480 --> 02:55:22,220
component. I think for me the
questions that I have a kind of

2988
02:55:22,230 --> 02:55:25,010
that out of town in terms of
setting those boundaries.

2989
02:55:25,020 --> 02:55:27,170
I think about some of like my
favorite field trips during out

2990
02:55:27,180 --> 02:55:30,030
that there is like popular
heart Mountain Courtney with

2991
02:55:30,040 --> 02:55:32,770
adult staff air. And so for me
that's very different than

2992
02:55:32,780 --> 02:55:35,210
going to a location. You know,
you're not going to have other,

2993
02:55:35,220 --> 02:55:39,390
you know, responsible parties
present. And so yeah, overnight

2994
02:55:39,570 --> 02:55:42,360
all for it. I think, yeah, I'd
be willing to have, you know,

2995
02:55:42,370 --> 02:55:45,480
more detailed conversation that
what the out of town come out.

2996
02:55:45,490 --> 02:55:48,100
It looks like specifically.
Sure. Yeah. Understood.

2997
02:55:54,480 --> 02:55:59,280
>> I am for the change to the
policy. I think anything that

2998
02:55:59,290 --> 02:56:02,980
we can do to improve the safety
of our students and included in

2999
02:56:02,990 --> 02:56:07,340
policies so that we know that
this is occurring. I mean,

3000
02:56:07,350 --> 02:56:07,980
you said

3001
02:56:09,300 --> 02:56:13,800
most of the time it happens
anyway. This would just assure

3002
02:56:13,810 --> 02:56:15,160
that happens.

3003
02:56:18,110 --> 02:56:22,830
>> I'm a I'm a question with
the high schools when the choir

3004
02:56:22,840 --> 02:56:23,900
kids go on there

3005
02:56:26,070 --> 02:56:29,720
like that when they go on their
trip, you know, like to Seattle

3006
02:56:29,730 --> 02:56:30,060
over.

3007
02:56:31,280 --> 02:56:33,420
Do they have the chaperones
goal.

3008
02:56:33,570 --> 02:56:35,800
>> With them. Yeah, actually, I
want to I was that was has been

3009
02:56:35,810 --> 02:56:40,150
such a principle. I shot from 2
of those on those as well as

3010
02:56:40,160 --> 02:56:44,260
the the whole music staff as
well so that there's no more

3011
02:56:44,270 --> 02:56:47,660
than a first for 5 police and
also for more on those trips.

3012
02:56:47,990 --> 02:56:50,590
Those of, you know, the music
secretary goes. So there's

3013
02:56:50,600 --> 02:56:53,320
quite a few people least I can
speak to how what I did at the

3014
02:56:53,330 --> 02:56:54,050
time. I was there.

3015
02:56:57,110 --> 02:56:59,140
>> OK, so how do we want to
move forward on this.

3016
02:56:59,950 --> 02:57:01,340
We want to.

3017
02:57:02,910 --> 02:57:06,150
It seems like there's there's
that there's a consensus to

3018
02:57:06,160 --> 02:57:08,760
kind of continue to look at
this. We could take it back to

3019
02:57:08,770 --> 02:57:10,280
port ons. And

3020
02:57:11,050 --> 02:57:14,010
like I said, initially, I
submitted something to require.

3021
02:57:14,700 --> 02:57:19,580
>> To chaperones gender
specific for all field trips,

3022
02:57:19,590 --> 02:57:24,930
which we can just revised after
this conversation and maybe

3023
02:57:25,600 --> 02:57:28,770
change and also include a
discussion to identify what out

3024
02:57:28,780 --> 02:57:33,110
of town meetings. We can do
that if that's okay for the

3025
02:57:33,120 --> 02:57:35,180
rest of that. You'd like to
move

3026
02:57:36,200 --> 02:57:39,010
during just had a question.

3027
02:57:39,420 --> 02:57:42,870
>> Was your initial thought
that was trips that will take

3028
02:57:42,880 --> 02:57:45,790
students out of state for
overnight

3029
02:57:46,370 --> 02:57:50,590
>> have thought that think that
was a typo in my thinking and

3030
02:57:51,240 --> 02:57:54,640
out of town. I think it's
better just just again like it.

3031
02:57:54,650 --> 02:57:57,780
They're in Great Falls and have
to go. The hospital who's going

3032
02:57:57,790 --> 02:58:00,720
to be there to help them.
Yeah. So just I guess,

3033
02:58:00,730 --> 02:58:05,100
identifying that feasibility of
somebody being able to help out

3034
02:58:05,110 --> 02:58:06,580
in that take the situation.

3035
02:58:07,860 --> 02:58:09,930
Okay. So we'll take this or
not.

3036
02:58:10,120 --> 02:58:12,140
>> Yes, this is a good mention
too. I think about like the

3037
02:58:12,150 --> 02:58:14,840
trips that I've done as well.
If we're going to Kalispell are

3038
02:58:14,850 --> 02:58:17,260
Denver. It's the same distance
that out of state compound

3039
02:58:17,270 --> 02:58:18,820
really doesn't make too much
sense there.

3040
02:58:21,570 --> 02:58:24,010
So we'll take it back to abort
option and

3041
02:58:24,550 --> 02:58:27,600
suggest some language. And Sir,
I can do them. Thank you for

3042
02:58:27,610 --> 02:58:30,700
that feedback and for your
help.

3043
02:58:33,430 --> 02:58:36,080
>> So then that next one is

right now. They're reviewing a
updated version of that

3115
03:03:02,110 --> 03:03:05,970
particular one for us. Do they
have a timeframe of dollars to

3116
03:03:06,890 --> 03:03:10,320
hoping for October and I think
was the last female looking for

3117
03:03:10,330 --> 03:03:14,890
October 4 tops. But there is to
the list. So yes up with some.

>> Moved by trusty Giudice and

3129
03:03:52,700 --> 03:03:57,620
approve policy. 3 to give me a
2, 1, 0, 35 reading.

3130
03:03:59,050 --> 03:04:02,510
All those in favor say aye aye
in a post. Okay.

3131
03:04:03,040 --> 03:04:06,870
All those are done right
trustees school visits Cuba to

3132
03:04:06,880 --> 03:04:07,630
want to share.

3133
03:04:14,470 --> 03:04:18,200
>> Now sure put it. We had one
thing to hear. Yeah, Tony and I

3134
03:04:18,210 --> 03:04:20,310
was at Arrowhead last week and
had a wonderful visit was

3135
03:04:20,320 --> 03:04:23,360
really nice to kind of get to
around that school and the

3136
03:04:23,370 --> 03:04:25,730
years I've been there. I'm
really happy to see. It was

3137
03:04:25,740 --> 03:04:28,500
actually a test. So it was kind
of a different virus. Maya

3138
03:04:28,510 --> 03:04:32,910
visits last year. But good time
to see the doors. Yeah, that's

3139
03:04:32,920 --> 03:04:33,170
okay.

3140
03:04:34,270 --> 03:04:38,040
>> We did okay. Men live.
We also

3141
03:04:38,890 --> 03:04:42,610
we've got we went toward the
outside.

3142
03:04:44,000 --> 03:04:46,200
That's the playground outside
in

3143
03:04:48,670 --> 03:04:52,090
the principal, often the new
principal. Okay. So first year

3144
03:04:52,100 --> 03:04:56,340
and this year they're right.
And so she's fantastic.

3145
03:04:57,450 --> 03:04:58,210
They have a

3146
03:05:00,410 --> 03:05:02,690
with us. Scott said here no
more.

3147
03:05:03,980 --> 03:05:04,870
Well, they have a

3148
03:05:05,520 --> 03:05:08,970
a vending machine for books
from her, but they can't use it

3149
03:05:08,980 --> 03:05:12,220
yet because here waiting for
electrical work to be done now

3150
03:05:12,240 --> 03:05:13,200
I'm doing well.

3151
03:05:13,940 --> 03:05:15,210
But that on the to do list,

3152
03:05:16,490 --> 03:05:17,770
any other school visits.

3153
03:05:19,450 --> 03:05:22,980
>> And Jordan. I went to
outplay Creek elementary and

3154
03:05:23,510 --> 03:05:29,330
I would see the doors. Yeah.
Haha. That's right. Jordan is a

3155
03:05:29,340 --> 03:05:33,010
former alumni are gifting is an

3156
03:05:33,980 --> 03:05:37,580
and yes, we were able to see
the doors and also spend time

3157
03:05:37,590 --> 03:05:40,610
looking in classrooms and and
toward the base classroom as

3158
03:05:40,620 --> 03:05:43,530
well, which is you need to
apply.

3159
03:05:44,800 --> 03:05:47,690
We did look at a lot of the
different safety things that

3160
03:05:47,700 --> 03:05:49,610
have been implemented and
they're grateful for the

3161
03:05:49,620 --> 03:05:52,660
district's effort in that and
talked to the principal about

3162
03:05:52,670 --> 03:05:53,090
it then

3163
03:05:53,610 --> 03:05:57,010
and asked, you know, if you had
more money if the state were to

3164
03:05:57,020 --> 03:05:59,340
provide us with more money.
What would you want more safety

3165
03:05:59,350 --> 03:06:04,430
things. And she said, well,
maybe Cameron's, but it really

3166
03:06:04,440 --> 03:06:07,160
I need a math interventionist
and they need another S they

3167
03:06:07,170 --> 03:06:11,070
need a couple more Sunday's and
I need a few more app's and

3168
03:06:11,080 --> 03:06:14,160
that's what we need. We need a
full-time nurse them. And I

3169
03:06:14,170 --> 03:06:16,780
thought that's exactly what
we've been hearing. So I just

3170
03:06:16,790 --> 03:06:19,340
want to reiterate that again

3171
03:06:20,030 --> 03:06:21,610
as public record.

3172
03:06:22,220 --> 03:06:23,540
Thank you. Thank you.

3173
03:06:24,500 --> 03:06:26,070
>> Also

3174
03:06:28,350 --> 03:06:29,450
September 2nd,

3175
03:06:30,320 --> 03:06:33,590
our governor came to town.
It was at Skyview. And I know

3176
03:06:33,600 --> 03:06:36,640
you are there, Zach. It was to
promote

3177
03:06:37,880 --> 03:06:39,360
social media safety.

3178
03:06:39,900 --> 03:06:41,060
There were

3179
03:06:41,870 --> 03:06:48,630
legislators. Suzy had Lynn from
the O P. I parent student a

3180
03:06:48,640 --> 03:06:51,840
history teacher while he was he
was a very excited about

3181
03:06:51,850 --> 03:06:54,580
teaching history. That is very
fun. But

3182
03:06:55,660 --> 03:06:58,040
you want to share. But what are
your thoughts on how that went.

3183
03:06:59,260 --> 03:07:01,540
>> Yeah. And for Skyview is a
great environment. So it's

3184
03:07:01,550 --> 03:07:03,960
always fun to get this could
be. It's it's a unique school.

3185
03:07:03,970 --> 03:07:07,910
But yeah, a lot of enthusiasm
for whatever is going on.

3186
03:07:07,920 --> 03:07:10,720
It's got you. I mean, that was
that was pretty to be around

3187
03:07:10,730 --> 03:07:13,980
their great hosts for but
everybody involved. He was a

3188
03:07:13,990 --> 03:07:17,330
really interesting unique kind
of circumstance. It was it felt

3189
03:07:17,340 --> 03:07:19,820
very political that we were
just making a statement about

3190
03:07:19,830 --> 03:07:22,520
what's going on. I don't think
most of us disagreed with the

3191
03:07:22,530 --> 03:07:24,040
concerns around social media

3192
03:07:24,590 --> 03:07:26,990
that really wasn't the issue.
It was just a little bit more

3193
03:07:27,000 --> 03:07:27,260
of,

3194
03:07:29,310 --> 03:07:31,540
you know, whats actually
getting done about this.

3195
03:07:31,550 --> 03:07:32,320
And I think,

3196
03:07:36,030 --> 03:07:39,670
yeah, it was a lot of good
feedback. I think across the

3197
03:07:39,680 --> 03:07:42,920
board and having the Skyview
specific folks there

3198
03:07:43,220 --> 03:07:46,150
what it is. My great job
representing. I doubt that

3199
03:07:46,160 --> 03:07:46,530
they.

3200
03:07:46,550 --> 03:07:48,630
>> We made. The point is that,

3201
03:07:49,540 --> 03:07:52,100
you know, you've got your
school day and we can put the

3202
03:07:52,110 --> 03:07:54,200
cell phones in the pockets and
you know,

3203
03:07:54,720 --> 03:07:57,800
but says they walk out the
door. They've got access to

3204
03:07:57,810 --> 03:07:58,030
him.

3205
03:07:59,880 --> 03:08:02,960
Should there be more discussion
with our parents about

3206
03:08:05,200 --> 03:08:08,110
maybe you have the pocket at
home. You know, like it.

3207
03:08:08,120 --> 03:08:09,000
10 o'clock at night.

3208
03:08:09,450 --> 03:08:12,240
Cell phone goes in the pocket
or whatever. Do they really

3209
03:08:12,250 --> 03:08:14,720
need to have access to their
cell phone all night.

3210
03:08:15,380 --> 03:08:16,380
>> Maybe.

3211
03:08:17,940 --> 03:08:20,770
>> Just have need to have more
conversations with parents

3212
03:08:20,780 --> 03:08:22,500
because we're all in this
together

3213
03:08:23,010 --> 03:08:25,380
to try to keep our kids safe.
Social media.

3214
03:08:26,250 --> 03:08:28,830
>> So, yeah, I think it's going
to be interesting to see the

3215
03:08:28,840 --> 03:08:31,160
they were definitely
mentioning.

3216
03:08:31,800 --> 03:08:34,470
We don't want to have big
government, but we're going to

3217
03:08:34,480 --> 03:08:38,040
implement some laws that will
restrict you from how you

3218
03:08:38,050 --> 03:08:41,280
utilize this tool. And I think
that was definitely going to be

3219
03:08:41,290 --> 03:08:43,080
a longer conversation of like
full.

3220
03:08:44,050 --> 03:08:45,240
If you buy your kid a phone.

3221
03:08:46,510 --> 03:08:49,160
Can you choose how they use
that phone and how are we going

3222
03:08:49,170 --> 03:08:52,660
to legislate that. So there is
a view as a starting point.

3223
03:08:53,370 --> 03:08:54,960
The conversation

3224
03:08:56,110 --> 03:08:58,720
not solutions based. But I do
this. The district is well

3225
03:08:58,730 --> 03:09:00,220
represented with a variety of
views.

3226
03:09:02,210 --> 03:09:05,500
>> Trusty one has asked me to
inform the board this you

3227
03:09:05,510 --> 03:09:09,130
visited the adult education
program. She had a great visit

3228
03:09:09,510 --> 03:09:12,350
when Mister around the rest
will and change with a visit.

3229
03:09:15,480 --> 03:09:20,700
>> Then we have the consent
agenda now. Removed 16 see,

3230
03:09:20,710 --> 03:09:22,180
right. Correct.

3231
03:09:22,800 --> 03:09:27,470
So Danielle, you want just
plain so 16 C was removed from

3232
03:09:27,480 --> 03:09:30,960
the consent agenda simply
because the discard list was

3233
03:09:30,970 --> 03:09:34,530
incorrect. That was a posted on
the website.

3234
03:09:34,840 --> 03:09:39,700
So I give each a copy of the
correct this card list this

3235
03:09:39,710 --> 03:09:44,340
correct. Yeah. Okay. And that
is the only change. So this is

3236
03:09:44,350 --> 03:09:46,970
what should have been attached,
correct. And you will attach

3237
03:09:46,980 --> 03:09:50,320
this. Yes, after tonight.
You can see it's a puzzle has

3238
03:09:50,330 --> 03:09:54,870
approved individually that you
will approve a attach this to

3239
03:09:54,880 --> 03:09:55,620
have a motion

3240
03:09:56,520 --> 03:10:00,770
for Daniela, too. I attached 16
feet instead of what is it

3241
03:10:00,780 --> 03:10:04,010
hatched right now. Well, and
you also need to do the suggest

3242
03:10:04,020 --> 03:10:07,170
that action. Justin Hunter
because we need to approve the

3243
03:10:07,180 --> 03:10:08,230
resolution

3244
03:10:08,830 --> 03:10:09,700
specifically.

3245
03:10:10,590 --> 03:10:13,910
Okay. So we need to approve the
resolution

3246
03:10:15,240 --> 03:10:17,880
but use this list. Correct.
Okay. Thank you.

3247
03:10:18,490 --> 03:10:21,560
So we knew that suggested
action is to adopt the proposed

3248
03:10:21,570 --> 03:10:24,200
resolution regarding personal
property that has abandoned

3249
03:10:24,210 --> 03:10:27,960
obsolete undesirable or
unsuitable for school purposes

3250
03:10:28,400 --> 03:10:31,670
and to be and otherwise dispose
of

3251
03:10:32,930 --> 03:10:36,160
according to this list. So do I
have a motion.

3252
03:10:36,990 --> 03:10:40,130
>> Make a motion to adopt the
proposed resolution regarding

3253
03:10:40,140 --> 03:10:40,880
personal property.

3254
03:10:42,710 --> 03:10:45,610
>> I'll second okay. It's been
moved by trusty Turkey to some

3255
03:10:45,620 --> 03:10:49,380
seconded by trusty Larson to
adopt the proposed resolution

3256
03:10:49,390 --> 03:10:50,860
regarding personal property

3257
03:10:51,320 --> 03:10:52,710
and attached

3258
03:10:53,680 --> 03:10:55,000
the new list.

3259
03:10:56,490 --> 03:10:59,220
All those in favor say aye.
Aye and folks

3260
03:10:59,820 --> 03:11:02,980
motion passes. Okay. Then we
can go back to the the rest of

3261
03:11:02,990 --> 03:11:05,920
the consent agenda read the
motion to approve the consent

3262
03:11:05,930 --> 03:11:06,400
agenda

3263
03:11:07,230 --> 03:11:08,610
so moved and second

3264
03:11:10,550 --> 03:11:13,430
moved by trusty juicy and
seconded by trusty led to a to

3265
03:11:13,440 --> 03:11:17,610
approve the remaining consent
agenda. All in favor. Say aye

3266
03:11:17,620 --> 03:11:18,860
aye. Any opposed

3267
03:11:20,700 --> 03:11:22,700
seen

3268
03:11:25,190 --> 03:11:27,260
reasons to hesitate.

3269
03:11:27,510 --> 03:11:29,080
I'm turning this meeting.

3270
03:11:30,600 --> 03:11:31,380
Give me a chance.
