1
00:00:08,813 --> 00:00:10,102
Okay, today's

2
00:00:10,102 --> 00:00:11,993
work session. Uh, we'll

3
00:00:11,993 --> 00:00:13,050
start with

4
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:13,976
discussion topics and

5
00:00:13,976 --> 00:00:14,802
possible actions,

6
00:00:14,802 --> 00:00:15,892
starting with the

7
00:00:15,892 --> 00:00:17,531
district's goals.

8
00:00:17,531 --> 00:00:18,976
So, uh, we have

9
00:00:18,976 --> 00:00:20,348
district goals, so I'll go into a little bit of

10
00:00:20,348 --> 00:01:00,700
what the

11
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:01,872
goals are, how we got to

12
00:01:01,872 --> 00:01:03,106
where we are now, and that

13
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:04,216
won't be an action item

14
00:01:04,216 --> 00:01:05,141
for tonight

15
00:01:05,141 --> 00:01:06,310
. This will be an

16
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:07,215
action item at the October

17
00:01:07,215 --> 00:01:08,324
meeting, but I just

18
00:01:08,324 --> 00:01:09,171
want to be able to

19
00:01:09,171 --> 00:01:10,075
put it out there and

20
00:01:10,075 --> 00:01:11,211
get feedback.

21
00:01:11,211 --> 00:01:13,174
Good. Okay,

22
00:01:13,174 --> 00:01:14,745
I can start. I have the

23
00:01:14,745 --> 00:01:16,319
first two. These are the goals

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,560
you see every year

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,149
for our

26
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:20,305
English and

27
00:01:20,338 --> 00:01:22,222
math proficiency levels. So, with a

28
00:01:22,222 --> 00:01:24,253
baseline of 69% of

29
00:01:24,253 --> 00:01:25,920
our students in

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,942
grades 3-3-11 demonstrating

31
00:01:28,994 --> 00:01:30,661
proficiency, uh, we're

32
00:01:30,661 --> 00:01:32,835
looking at a target of 71%.

33
00:01:32,835 --> 00:01:34,091
And for math, our

34
00:01:34,091 --> 00:01:35,149
baseline score

35
00:01:35,149 --> 00:01:36,141
was 72.

36
00:01:36,141 --> 00:01:36,802
This year's goal

37
00:01:36,802 --> 00:01:37,926
will be for

38
00:01:37,926 --> 00:01:38,885
74% of students in

39
00:01:38,885 --> 00:01:40,207
grades 3-11 to demonstrate

40
00:01:40,207 --> 00:01:41,265
proficiency in

41
00:01:41,265 --> 00:01:42,409
math. And that's

42
00:01:42,409 --> 00:01:44,036
measured by a

43
00:01:44,071 --> 00:01:45,416
pre-exam

44
00:01:45,416 --> 00:01:46,760
and, uh,

45
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,265
ACT and ACT pre-test. And those

46
00:01:48,265 --> 00:01:49,216
in both of those

47
00:01:49,216 --> 00:01:50,240
districts, 71 and 74,

48
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,447
comparing ourselves to

49
00:01:51,447 --> 00:01:52,911
other districts, if

50
00:01:52,911 --> 00:01:54,337
we set that goal,

51
00:01:54,337 --> 00:01:55,472
it would put us

52
00:01:55,472 --> 00:01:56,569
at about the 94th

53
00:01:56,569 --> 00:01:57,447
percentile

54
00:01:57,447 --> 00:01:58,801
compared to other

55
00:01:58,801 --> 00:02:01,966
districts.

56
00:02:01,966 --> 00:02:03,323
I can take the following

57
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:05,028
. Also, the goals

58
00:02:05,028 --> 00:02:06,778
you are very familiar with are

59
00:02:06,778 --> 00:02:08,674
1,3 and 1,4. Based on what

60
00:02:08,697 --> 00:02:09,385
Shannon said, then we

61
00:02:09,385 --> 00:02:10,095
break it down into

62
00:02:10,095 --> 00:02:11,100
different subgroups. So, the

63
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:12,050
first subgroup

64
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:12,920
you'll see is ELA (

65
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:13,843
English Language and

66
00:02:13,843 --> 00:02:14,872
Literature). We have

67
00:02:14,872 --> 00:02:15,892
students with disabilities,

68
00:02:15,892 --> 00:02:16,778
students of color, and

69
00:02:16,778 --> 00:02:17,342
economically

70
00:02:17,342 --> 00:02:18,389
disadvantaged students,

71
00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:18,979
those students who

72
00:02:18,979 --> 00:02:19,489
receive

73
00:02:19,489 --> 00:02:20,241
free and

74
00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:20,966
reduced lunches,

75
00:02:20,966 --> 00:02:21,717
whose numbers are

76
00:02:21,717 --> 00:02:22,442
growing by two

77
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:23,625
percentage points. This

78
00:02:23,625 --> 00:02:24,918
baseline data is there, these are

79
00:02:24,918 --> 00:02:26,109
our goals from last

80
00:02:26,109 --> 00:02:27,999
year. And then the second

81
00:02:27,999 --> 00:02:29,130
part is just a

82
00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:30,193
transition from ELA to

83
00:02:30,193 --> 00:02:31,221
math, the same

84
00:02:31,221 --> 00:02:32,490
subgroups, and again by

85
00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:33,450
two percentage

86
00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:37,064
points.

87
00:02:37,064 --> 00:02:38,371
Good. Continuing

88
00:02:38,371 --> 00:02:38,989
the trend, the

89
00:02:38,989 --> 00:02:40,101
focus

90
00:02:40,101 --> 00:02:41,182
on well-being and

91
00:02:41,182 --> 00:02:42,425
mental health.

92
00:02:42,425 --> 00:02:43,437
I think this is an

93
00:02:43,437 --> 00:02:44,483
area that we

94
00:02:44,483 --> 00:02:45,765
continue to hear about, not

95
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:46,811
just in the school

96
00:02:46,811 --> 00:02:48,026
district but in general,

97
00:02:48,026 --> 00:02:49,645
that we can't

98
00:02:49,679 --> 00:02:51,199
focus on enough. So,

99
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:52,806
we want to, first, in

100
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:53,507
point 2.1,

101
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:54,743
focus on

102
00:02:54,743 --> 00:02:56,351
our partnership with

103
00:02:56,351 --> 00:02:57,459
Hudson Physicians. And we

104
00:02:57,459 --> 00:02:58,394
think that's a

105
00:02:58,394 --> 00:02:59,695
good start, and that's what

106
00:02:59,695 --> 00:03:00,663
we're doing

107
00:03:00,663 --> 00:03:01,430
together to make

108
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:02,131
operations

109
00:03:02,131 --> 00:03:03,432
and

110
00:03:03,432 --> 00:03:04,733
HR work together

111
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:07,522
. We see this as an

112
00:03:07,522 --> 00:03:08,534
opportunity for the

113
00:03:08,534 --> 00:03:09,668
entire district, as well as

114
00:03:09,668 --> 00:03:11,170
for the unification of

115
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,997
operations and the

116
00:03:11,997 --> 00:03:13,339
human resources department. And as for

117
00:03:13,339 --> 00:03:14,355
us, we're

118
00:03:14,355 --> 00:03:15,522
working with Hudson Physicians

119
00:03:15,522 --> 00:03:16,299
to increase the

120
00:03:16,299 --> 00:03:17,106
overall, uh,

121
00:03:17,106 --> 00:03:18,243
percentage increase in the

122
00:03:18,243 --> 00:03:19,439
number of

123
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:20,654
medical exams performed.

124
00:03:20,654 --> 00:03:21,924
First, we think it's

125
00:03:21,924 --> 00:03:23,066
consistent with what

126
00:03:23,066 --> 00:03:24,081
we share with

127
00:03:24,081 --> 00:03:24,494
our

128
00:03:24,494 --> 00:03:25,732
employees, but

129
00:03:25,732 --> 00:03:26,779
we think it's

130
00:03:26,779 --> 00:03:27,911
just good. And

131
00:03:27,911 --> 00:03:30,042
secondly, in point 2.2, we have

132
00:03:30,075 --> 00:03:31,428
been monitoring the situation for some time now

133
00:03:31,428 --> 00:03:33,694
through Family Means, our

134
00:03:33,728 --> 00:03:34,844
employee assistance program, and

135
00:03:34,844 --> 00:03:37,109
our usage

136
00:03:38,022 --> 00:03:39,172
has been decreasing over the last few years, and we

137
00:03:39,172 --> 00:03:40,288
believe that this is an

138
00:03:40,288 --> 00:03:41,539
area that we want to

139
00:03:41,539 --> 00:03:42,283
definitely

140
00:03:42,283 --> 00:03:43,467
bring back to the attention of

141
00:03:43,467 --> 00:03:44,786
our employees

142
00:03:44,786 --> 00:03:46,005
. I can only tell you

143
00:03:46,005 --> 00:03:47,177
from my previous

144
00:03:47,177 --> 00:03:48,191
working life, and

145
00:03:48,191 --> 00:03:49,743
in general,

146
00:03:49,775 --> 00:03:51,865
employee assistance programs are not

147
00:03:51,897 --> 00:03:53,096
widely used. And, uh, we

148
00:03:53,096 --> 00:03:54,323
want to make sure

149
00:03:54,323 --> 00:03:55,141
that we

150
00:03:55,141 --> 00:03:56,368
communicate this

151
00:03:56,368 --> 00:03:56,871
to our

152
00:03:56,871 --> 00:03:58,035
employees often and early so that

153
00:03:58,035 --> 00:03:58,664
they can

154
00:03:58,664 --> 00:03:59,640
utilize the

155
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,804
many

156
00:04:00,804 --> 00:04:01,748
tools and

157
00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:02,898
resources available to them. And so we're

158
00:04:02,898 --> 00:04:04,050
looking at a relative

159
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:04,959
increase, and we're

160
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:05,959
looking at that as

161
00:04:05,959 --> 00:04:06,414
part of a

162
00:04:06,414 --> 00:04:07,596
multi-year focus

163
00:04:07,596 --> 00:04:11,370
, not just this year.

164
00:04:11,370 --> 00:04:13,143
And next year is mine.

165
00:04:13,143 --> 00:04:13,910
Partnership with the

166
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:14,855
public and

167
00:04:14,855 --> 00:04:16,019
industry relations.

168
00:04:16,019 --> 00:04:16,870
So we aim to

169
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:17,926
increase the percentage of

170
00:04:17,926 --> 00:04:19,041
school classes that

171
00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:20,156
offer real-world

172
00:04:20,156 --> 00:04:21,242
learning experiences with

173
00:04:21,242 --> 00:04:21,858
industry

174
00:04:21,858 --> 00:04:23,016
experts. We

175
00:04:23,016 --> 00:04:24,350
aim to increase

176
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:25,461
the percentage of

177
00:04:25,461 --> 00:04:26,721
high school classes that

178
00:04:26,721 --> 00:04:27,906
offer this

179
00:04:27,906 --> 00:04:29,351
experience from approximately 54%

180
00:04:29,351 --> 00:04:30,426
to 75%, and then we

181
00:04:30,426 --> 00:04:31,537
seek active

182
00:04:31,537 --> 00:04:32,612
representation of

183
00:04:32,612 --> 00:04:34,020
industry experts

184
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:34,872
across all six

185
00:04:34,872 --> 00:04:38,869
DPI career paths.

186
00:04:38,869 --> 00:04:39,690
And I can take the

187
00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:40,828
last one–connections with the

188
00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:41,555
operating

189
00:04:41,555 --> 00:04:42,376
community and the

190
00:04:42,376 --> 00:04:43,820
industry. Will will lead

191
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:45,030
this direction. This is a

192
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:46,207
great opportunity to

193
00:04:46,207 --> 00:04:47,418
work with our

194
00:04:47,418 --> 00:04:48,699
student storytellers

195
00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:49,807
to publish

196
00:04:49,807 --> 00:04:51,919
at least 12

197
00:04:51,953 --> 00:04:52,957
operational reviews to

198
00:04:52,957 --> 00:04:54,342
showcase the great things the

199
00:04:54,342 --> 00:04:55,692
district is doing both

200
00:04:55,692 --> 00:04:56,973
operationally and

201
00:04:56,973 --> 00:04:59,187
educationally. And

202
00:04:59,187 --> 00:05:00,518
our goal would be to

203
00:05:00,518 --> 00:05:01,887
increase

204
00:05:01,887 --> 00:05:03,296
social media engagement

205
00:05:03,296 --> 00:05:08,174
by 10%.

206
00:05:08,174 --> 00:05:09,399
Mr. President,

207
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:10,672
Megan.

208
00:05:10,672 --> 00:05:11,543
Hmm, I really

209
00:05:11,543 --> 00:05:12,970
like all of this,

210
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,635
thank you. Hmm, question

211
00:05:15,635 --> 00:05:16,975
number three, that's a big

212
00:05:16,975 --> 00:05:18,177
increase in one

213
00:05:18,177 --> 00:05:21,109
year. So I'm just

214
00:05:21,109 --> 00:05:22,102
curious about the idea behind

215
00:05:22,102 --> 00:05:23,359
it, and I'd

216
00:05:23,359 --> 00:05:24,616
love it if

217
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:25,907
it was something fast-paced,

218
00:05:25,907 --> 00:05:26,966
but I just want to

219
00:05:26,966 --> 00:05:28,190
hear a little bit more

220
00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:29,017
about how that

221
00:05:29,017 --> 00:05:30,938
percentage came about.

222
00:05:30,938 --> 00:05:32,125
Yes, that's one of the things

223
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:33,281
that also came up in

224
00:05:33,281 --> 00:05:34,276
our conversations in the

225
00:05:34,276 --> 00:05:35,334
community. This was

226
00:05:35,334 --> 00:05:36,593
really important for

227
00:05:36,593 --> 00:05:37,716
our community and I

228
00:05:37,716 --> 00:05:38,907
think we're doing a

229
00:05:38,907 --> 00:05:40,353
good job. But I

230
00:05:40,353 --> 00:05:41,502
think, you know,

231
00:05:41,502 --> 00:05:43,094
an increase of another 25%,

232
00:05:43,094 --> 00:05:44,465
or 20%, would be, well,

233
00:05:44,465 --> 00:05:46,233
good for our kids

234
00:05:46,233 --> 00:05:47,648
and good for our

235
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:48,963
classrooms as well. We

236
00:05:48,963 --> 00:05:49,976
just...we just

237
00:05:49,976 --> 00:05:50,836
dug in and

238
00:05:50,836 --> 00:05:51,818
got the

239
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:52,831
baseline, and it was

240
00:05:52,831 --> 00:05:53,937
really helpful for us to know

241
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:55,134
when we find out that

242
00:05:55,134 --> 00:05:55,963
a lot of this is

243
00:05:55,963 --> 00:05:57,007
invested in business,

244
00:05:57,007 --> 00:05:57,928
you know, just in

245
00:05:57,928 --> 00:05:59,254
business classes. So, we

246
00:05:59,254 --> 00:06:00,652
, you know, six different

247
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:01,701
areas, uh, we

248
00:06:01,701 --> 00:06:03,099
feel like we can

249
00:06:03,099 --> 00:06:05,729
expand on that.

250
00:06:05,729 --> 00:06:06,984
Mr. President.

251
00:06:06,984 --> 00:06:07,750
Marianne.

252
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:08,690
Uh, just to

253
00:06:08,690 --> 00:06:09,595
name six

254
00:06:09,595 --> 00:06:10,954
areas for those

255
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:11,789
listening, do

256
00:06:11,789 --> 00:06:13,291
you mind? Do you have

257
00:06:13,291 --> 00:06:14,480
them? Good.

258
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,316
I didn't learn them

259
00:06:15,316 --> 00:06:16,217
by heart, so I

260
00:06:16,217 --> 00:06:17,439
wrote them down because they're very

261
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:18,694
... Each one of them sounds like there are

262
00:06:18,694 --> 00:06:20,067
several of them.

263
00:06:20,067 --> 00:06:21,064
Um, marketing,

264
00:06:21,064 --> 00:06:21,848
management,

265
00:06:21,848 --> 00:06:23,130
entrepreneurship–it’s

266
00:06:23,130 --> 00:06:24,890
one thing. This is business and

267
00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:25,736
information

268
00:06:25,736 --> 00:06:27,733
technology. Family

269
00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:29,535
and Consumer Sciences.

270
00:06:29,535 --> 00:06:31,446
Health sciences.

271
00:06:31,476 --> 00:06:32,274
Agriculture,

272
00:06:32,274 --> 00:06:33,410
food, and

273
00:06:33,410 --> 00:06:34,606
natural resources are

274
00:06:34,606 --> 00:06:36,147
one. And technology and

275
00:06:36,147 --> 00:06:38,277
engineering. So, I

276
00:06:38,277 --> 00:06:39,547
think we have something to

277
00:06:39,547 --> 00:06:43,041
learn from.

278
00:06:43,041 --> 00:06:44,242
Mr. President.

279
00:06:44,242 --> 00:06:45,724
Yes, Melanie.

280
00:06:45,724 --> 00:06:47,468
This is great. Um, I

281
00:06:47,468 --> 00:06:48,611
just didn't know about the

282
00:06:48,611 --> 00:06:48,981
six

283
00:06:48,981 --> 00:06:50,292
continuing or,

284
00:06:50,292 --> 00:06:51,267
um, career and

285
00:06:51,267 --> 00:06:52,343
technical

286
00:06:52,343 --> 00:06:54,319
education paths. The only

287
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:55,434
concern, and

288
00:06:55,434 --> 00:06:56,699
maybe it's just a

289
00:06:56,699 --> 00:06:58,000
higher level than

290
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,079
we have, is just

291
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,343
making sure that in

292
00:07:00,343 --> 00:07:01,719
our classes that we do

293
00:07:01,719 --> 00:07:03,133
, we always

294
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:04,360
make sure that the

295
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,029
kids have the

296
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:05,959
visual

297
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:07,409
arts and, you know,

298
00:07:07,409 --> 00:07:08,748
all of these things, because that's, I

299
00:07:08,748 --> 00:07:10,236
mean, that's what

300
00:07:10,236 --> 00:07:11,612
I know, that's the work where

301
00:07:11,612 --> 00:07:13,062
it's, or the areas where

302
00:07:13,062 --> 00:07:14,364
we think there's going to be

303
00:07:14,364 --> 00:07:16,869
work. But it's not that

304
00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:17,853
kids can't

305
00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:18,714
study

306
00:07:18,714 --> 00:07:19,729
history, pop government,

307
00:07:19,729 --> 00:07:20,806
English, or

308
00:07:20,806 --> 00:07:21,975
art and still

309
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:23,144
get by on it

310
00:07:23,144 --> 00:07:24,446
...That's right. Or there are

311
00:07:24,446 --> 00:07:25,436
other jobs.

312
00:07:25,436 --> 00:07:26,562
Yes, and these six...It's

313
00:07:26,562 --> 00:07:27,822
just six paths,

314
00:07:27,822 --> 00:07:28,982
and then each of them

315
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:30,109
branches into

316
00:07:30,109 --> 00:07:31,667
several. So, education,

317
00:07:31,667 --> 00:07:32,880
art,

318
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,795
they're all there.

319
00:07:33,795 --> 00:07:34,345
They all

320
00:07:34,345 --> 00:07:35,777
branch out. It's like a

321
00:07:35,777 --> 00:07:36,879
path that leads to

322
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:38,116
multiple clusters.

323
00:07:38,116 --> 00:07:39,353
And I think that's...I

324
00:07:39,353 --> 00:07:40,497
mean, I think that

325
00:07:40,497 --> 00:07:41,456
often...in high

326
00:07:41,456 --> 00:07:42,732
school, the kids are so young.

327
00:07:42,732 --> 00:07:44,154
How do you know? But

328
00:07:44,154 --> 00:07:45,408
children don't always know

329
00:07:45,408 --> 00:07:46,438
how to get interested in

330
00:07:46,438 --> 00:07:47,746
a hobby or career. And

331
00:07:47,746 --> 00:07:48,606
to have such...

332
00:07:48,606 --> 00:07:49,975
And I hope that's

333
00:07:49,975 --> 00:07:50,976
true, right?

334
00:07:50,976 --> 00:07:53,123
Yes. Cool. Thank you.

335
00:07:53,123 --> 00:07:54,607
Erin.

336
00:07:54,607 --> 00:07:55,816
Mr. President, I

337
00:07:55,816 --> 00:07:56,741
just wanted to

338
00:07:56,741 --> 00:07:57,559
ask if

339
00:07:57,559 --> 00:07:58,590
this fits into the

340
00:07:58,590 --> 00:08:00,588
budget that we have. I

341
00:08:00,588 --> 00:08:01,652
mean, is this going to be the

342
00:08:01,652 --> 00:08:02,653
additional

343
00:08:02,653 --> 00:08:03,530
costs that you

344
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:04,500
expect with such a

345
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:05,720
large increase,

346
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,690
or is it going to remain the

347
00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:07,910
same because we're

348
00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:08,567
going to

349
00:08:08,567 --> 00:08:09,725
use what we

350
00:08:09,725 --> 00:08:10,791
already have? And that's

351
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:11,869
more

352
00:08:11,869 --> 00:08:12,431
community partners.

353
00:08:12,431 --> 00:08:13,189
We mostly

354
00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:13,812
consider

355
00:08:13,812 --> 00:08:14,915
community partners.

356
00:08:14,915 --> 00:08:15,763
And we, since we

357
00:08:15,763 --> 00:08:16,475
just did the

358
00:08:16,475 --> 00:08:17,406
baseline, we're

359
00:08:17,406 --> 00:08:18,501
going to do, well, you know,

360
00:08:18,501 --> 00:08:19,487
brainstorm to

361
00:08:19,487 --> 00:08:20,254
see how we

362
00:08:20,254 --> 00:08:21,434
can do this. This

363
00:08:21,434 --> 00:08:22,810
brings experts into

364
00:08:22,810 --> 00:08:25,355
the audience. We already

365
00:08:25,355 --> 00:08:26,646
partner with, well, the

366
00:08:26,646 --> 00:08:27,733
chamber, and we have

367
00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:28,752
a few

368
00:08:28,752 --> 00:08:29,907
job fairs, and we have a

369
00:08:29,907 --> 00:08:31,265
few tours, but

370
00:08:31,265 --> 00:08:32,488
that can be expanded

371
00:08:32,488 --> 00:08:33,337
as we

372
00:08:33,337 --> 00:08:37,266
learn more. So that

373
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:38,232
was our

374
00:08:38,232 --> 00:08:40,496
baseline, and then we'll

375
00:08:40,529 --> 00:08:41,528
brainstorm with, well, these

376
00:08:41,528 --> 00:08:42,826
paths to see

377
00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:43,959
where we can have

378
00:08:43,959 --> 00:08:44,824
additional, well,

379
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:45,624
additional...

380
00:08:45,624 --> 00:08:46,211
I really

381
00:08:46,211 --> 00:08:47,518
like that idea.

382
00:08:47,518 --> 00:08:48,558
I just want to, you know,

383
00:08:48,558 --> 00:08:49,547
ask if it's

384
00:08:49,547 --> 00:08:50,535
within our capabilities

385
00:08:50,535 --> 00:08:51,772
to do this. Perfectly.

386
00:08:51,772 --> 00:08:52,463
Thank you.

387
00:08:52,463 --> 00:08:53,643
Good question.

388
00:08:53,643 --> 00:08:55,070
Good. No more questions

389
00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:56,890
. Thank you. Thanks for

390
00:08:56,890 --> 00:08:58,076
the information. Uh,

391
00:08:58,076 --> 00:08:58,936
moving on to the

392
00:08:58,936 --> 00:08:59,697
monthly

393
00:08:59,697 --> 00:09:02,373
budget update.

394
00:09:02,373 --> 00:09:02,857
Yes,

395
00:09:02,857 --> 00:09:04,020
on your screen, well,

396
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:05,030
not much has really

397
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:06,042
changed. Many

398
00:09:06,042 --> 00:09:07,006
disagreements are simply

399
00:09:07,006 --> 00:09:07,996
related to terminology

400
00:09:07,996 --> 00:09:08,732
. You know, things

401
00:09:08,732 --> 00:09:09,556
paid for in different

402
00:09:09,556 --> 00:09:10,538
months or paid for

403
00:09:10,538 --> 00:09:11,863
earlier. So we're pretty

404
00:09:11,863 --> 00:09:13,408
early. So, I would like to

405
00:09:13,408 --> 00:09:14,568
inform you about

406
00:09:14,568 --> 00:09:15,893
some important dates for us

407
00:09:15,893 --> 00:09:18,720
.

408
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,738
The relocation of all

409
00:09:19,738 --> 00:09:20,660
certified

410
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:21,837
employees has just been completed, so

411
00:09:21,837 --> 00:09:22,950
we will transfer all of

412
00:09:22,950 --> 00:09:24,223
those people and get a

413
00:09:24,223 --> 00:09:26,391
budget figure.

414
00:09:26,391 --> 00:09:27,247
We are now finalizing

415
00:09:27,247 --> 00:09:28,366
the calculation of the

416
00:09:28,366 --> 00:09:29,321
income limit for the third

417
00:09:29,321 --> 00:09:31,282
Friday. It was

418
00:09:31,282 --> 00:09:33,356
served on Friday.

419
00:09:33,356 --> 00:09:34,609
We are currently

420
00:09:34,609 --> 00:09:35,188
in the process of

421
00:09:35,188 --> 00:09:36,345
confirming all of

422
00:09:36,345 --> 00:09:37,309
our open

423
00:09:37,309 --> 00:09:38,595
registrations and releases,

424
00:09:38,595 --> 00:09:39,785
and as of now we

425
00:09:39,785 --> 00:09:40,878
have about

426
00:09:40,878 --> 00:09:41,971
$600,000, which is great

427
00:09:41,971 --> 00:09:44,036
news. On October 15, we

428
00:09:44,036 --> 00:09:44,754
received

429
00:09:44,754 --> 00:09:45,811
certification of

430
00:09:45,811 --> 00:09:47,596
assistance. So we will

431
00:09:47,596 --> 00:09:49,058
get it. It looks like

432
00:09:49,058 --> 00:09:49,753
we will be

433
00:09:49,753 --> 00:09:50,641
getting more

434
00:09:50,641 --> 00:09:51,668
state aid this year

435
00:09:51,668 --> 00:09:52,529
because

436
00:09:52,529 --> 00:09:53,612
our property values ​​haven't been

437
00:09:53,612 --> 00:09:54,528
growing as well as the

438
00:09:54,528 --> 00:09:55,472
rest of the

439
00:09:55,472 --> 00:09:56,420
state. It wasn't

440
00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:57,533
great news, but, um

441
00:09:57,533 --> 00:09:58,533
, good news for

442
00:09:58,533 --> 00:09:59,275
our

443
00:09:59,275 --> 00:10:00,498
funding formula. And then

444
00:10:00,498 --> 00:10:01,445
, at the end of, um,

445
00:10:01,445 --> 00:10:02,643
October, we will finally

446
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:03,778
determine the value of

447
00:10:03,778 --> 00:10:04,951
our property.

448
00:10:04,951 --> 00:10:05,946
So,

449
00:10:05,946 --> 00:10:06,827
important dates are approaching for the

450
00:10:06,827 --> 00:10:07,481
final

451
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:08,561
approval of our

452
00:10:08,561 --> 00:10:09,536
budget. And then the

453
00:10:09,536 --> 00:10:10,624
next page is

454
00:10:10,624 --> 00:10:11,873
just...hmm, I think

455
00:10:11,873 --> 00:10:13,062
we talked about that.

456
00:10:13,062 --> 00:10:14,036
This sounded

457
00:10:14,036 --> 00:10:15,279
familiar to me, but this was

458
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,624
our first month of, um,

459
00:10:16,624 --> 00:10:17,565
our

460
00:10:17,565 --> 00:10:18,203
health

461
00:10:18,203 --> 00:10:19,480
insurance experience, and

462
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,757
we're currently operating at

463
00:10:20,757 --> 00:10:22,402
87%. So we will get

464
00:10:22,402 --> 00:10:25,248
our next report on

465
00:10:25,248 --> 00:10:26,575
October 8th. Then we

466
00:10:26,575 --> 00:10:27,644
will have data for

467
00:10:27,644 --> 00:10:31,052
another month. Hmm,

468
00:10:31,052 --> 00:10:31,945
everything

469
00:10:31,945 --> 00:10:35,461
looks good at first.

470
00:10:35,461 --> 00:10:36,859
Ryan? Thank you, Mr.

471
00:10:36,859 --> 00:10:38,368
President. Bonnie, you

472
00:10:38,368 --> 00:10:39,755
mentioned, um, government

473
00:10:39,755 --> 00:10:41,070
assistance. You said it looked like

474
00:10:41,070 --> 00:10:41,738
we would

475
00:10:41,738 --> 00:10:42,898
get more, but

476
00:10:42,898 --> 00:10:43,682
I just wanted to

477
00:10:43,682 --> 00:10:44,624
clarify. More

478
00:10:44,624 --> 00:10:45,214
compared to

479
00:10:45,214 --> 00:10:46,261
previous estimates

480
00:10:46,261 --> 00:10:46,388
?

481
00:10:46,388 --> 00:10:47,452
More compared to

482
00:10:47,452 --> 00:10:48,455
our estimate on

483
00:10:48,455 --> 00:10:48,890
July 1.

484
00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:49,930
Good, but still

485
00:10:49,930 --> 00:10:50,881
significantly less than

486
00:10:50,881 --> 00:10:51,754
last year.

487
00:10:51,754 --> 00:10:52,440
Right.

488
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,639
Okay, thank you.

489
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:56,795
Yes.

490
00:10:56,795 --> 00:10:57,695
Megan?

491
00:10:57,695 --> 00:10:59,265
Yes, you know, I have

492
00:10:59,265 --> 00:11:00,907
something. Sorry. Thank you

493
00:11:00,907 --> 00:11:02,520
, Mr. President. Hmm,

494
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,117
Bonnie, it's, um, great

495
00:11:04,117 --> 00:11:05,238
to see that, um,

496
00:11:05,238 --> 00:11:06,749
healthcare costs

497
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:08,215
aren't going

498
00:11:08,215 --> 00:11:10,751
over 100%. Hooray!

499
00:11:10,751 --> 00:11:12,839
Thank you. Hmm, do you have any

500
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:16,049
idea if

501
00:11:16,049 --> 00:11:16,851
this is partly due to

502
00:11:16,851 --> 00:11:17,396
reduced

503
00:11:17,396 --> 00:11:18,428
usage or if it's

504
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:19,460
just

505
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:20,450
cost containment? I know it's

506
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:21,341
hard to say

507
00:11:21,341 --> 00:11:22,405
based on one

508
00:11:22,405 --> 00:11:23,023
data point, but

509
00:11:23,023 --> 00:11:24,138
yeah, I think it's

510
00:11:24,138 --> 00:11:25,137
pretty early. We

511
00:11:25,137 --> 00:11:26,136
saw a lot of

512
00:11:26,136 --> 00:11:26,947
people, when we were

513
00:11:26,947 --> 00:11:28,163
looking at our data

514
00:11:28,163 --> 00:11:29,317
with the Hudson doctor,

515
00:11:29,317 --> 00:11:30,409
take this step, and

516
00:11:30,409 --> 00:11:31,345
since we have a

517
00:11:31,345 --> 00:11:32,468
fixed cost of

518
00:11:32,468 --> 00:11:33,473
about 70,000...Um,

519
00:11:33,473 --> 00:11:34,387
I think

520
00:11:34,387 --> 00:11:35,858
our claims came in at

521
00:11:35,858 --> 00:11:38,220
about 300?

522
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:39,612
Yes, they were significantly

523
00:11:39,612 --> 00:11:40,894
exceeded. So these are

524
00:11:40,894 --> 00:11:41,875
statements that

525
00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:42,942
healthcare partners would have

526
00:11:42,942 --> 00:11:44,096
that are simply an

527
00:11:44,096 --> 00:11:45,148
advantage for us.

528
00:11:45,148 --> 00:11:46,444
So, I think that was

529
00:11:46,444 --> 00:11:47,714
very important. But

530
00:11:47,714 --> 00:11:48,996
we had a lot of people

531
00:11:48,996 --> 00:11:50,015
who switched to

532
00:11:50,015 --> 00:11:52,258
Hudson doctors. And this is

533
00:11:52,258 --> 00:11:53,331
our goal.

534
00:11:53,331 --> 00:11:55,916
Thank you.

535
00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:56,782
So, in your

536
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:58,015
experience, are there any

537
00:11:58,015 --> 00:11:59,315
particular times of the year when

538
00:11:59,315 --> 00:12:00,648
we expect

539
00:12:00,682 --> 00:12:03,572
usage to increase or not? Is

540
00:12:03,572 --> 00:12:04,316
it

541
00:12:04,316 --> 00:12:05,822
stable enough? This is just a

542
00:12:05,822 --> 00:12:07,076
non-standard question

543
00:12:07,076 --> 00:12:07,209
.

544
00:12:07,209 --> 00:12:08,255
Yes, I mean,

545
00:12:08,255 --> 00:12:09,301
we have a lot

546
00:12:09,301 --> 00:12:10,086
more medical

547
00:12:10,086 --> 00:12:11,080
checkups in the summer simply because

548
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,201
people have the day off.

549
00:12:12,201 --> 00:12:12,758
Um, if you

550
00:12:12,758 --> 00:12:14,206
look at our

551
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,042
dental claims

552
00:12:15,042 --> 00:12:15,850
, July is

553
00:12:15,850 --> 00:12:17,229
always crazy. I

554
00:12:17,229 --> 00:12:18,541
think we are way

555
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:19,853
over budget,

556
00:12:19,853 --> 00:12:20,740
but it always

557
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,678
evens out. Um, if

558
00:12:22,678 --> 00:12:23,578
you look back on the

559
00:12:23,578 --> 00:12:24,720
last 3 years,

560
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,897
I guess people are just

561
00:12:25,897 --> 00:12:27,213
trying to get

562
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:28,459
things taken care of before

563
00:12:28,459 --> 00:12:29,858
school starts, but yeah.

564
00:12:29,858 --> 00:12:31,639
I think last

565
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,420
year in July we had

566
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:34,052
147%.

567
00:12:34,052 --> 00:12:35,513
Well, yeah, we had two

568
00:12:35,513 --> 00:12:36,234
really...

569
00:12:36,234 --> 00:12:37,458
Yeah, we had two

570
00:12:37,458 --> 00:12:38,899
really big statements,

571
00:12:38,899 --> 00:12:40,340
and you know, obviously

572
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:41,601
1 month doesn't make a

573
00:12:41,601 --> 00:12:44,152
trend. But if

574
00:12:44,152 --> 00:12:45,090
you look at the

575
00:12:45,090 --> 00:12:46,316
history of the last 2

576
00:12:46,316 --> 00:12:47,686
years, July has always

577
00:12:47,686 --> 00:12:48,947
been well above 100%

578
00:12:48,947 --> 00:12:50,137
because in July you

579
00:12:50,137 --> 00:12:51,399
pay for services

580
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:52,553
that were provided in

581
00:12:52,553 --> 00:12:56,876
June. And also some

582
00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:57,958
services that were

583
00:12:57,958 --> 00:12:59,192
provided in July. So it

584
00:12:59,192 --> 00:12:59,889
will be interesting

585
00:12:59,889 --> 00:13:00,872
to see what

586
00:13:00,872 --> 00:13:02,107
impact the changes

587
00:13:02,107 --> 00:13:03,090
to our plan will have,

588
00:13:03,090 --> 00:13:03,945
primarily on

589
00:13:03,945 --> 00:13:05,329
August. Yes, it's

590
00:13:05,329 --> 00:13:06,416
reflected in

591
00:13:06,416 --> 00:13:07,567
August, but I

592
00:13:07,567 --> 00:13:12,001
mean it's very, very positive.

593
00:13:12,001 --> 00:13:13,848
Thank you, Bonnie. Thanks,

594
00:13:13,848 --> 00:13:15,035
Nick. No further

595
00:13:15,035 --> 00:13:16,295
questions, we'll move on

596
00:13:16,295 --> 00:13:17,522
to the third Friday,

597
00:13:17,522 --> 00:13:18,430
Nick.

598
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:19,843
Yes. Uh, if you

599
00:13:19,843 --> 00:13:21,236
go to the

600
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:22,439
Third

601
00:13:22,439 --> 00:13:23,515
Friday count documents...Excuse me,

602
00:13:23,515 --> 00:13:25,350
if you go to the

603
00:13:25,382 --> 00:13:26,553
Third

604
00:13:26,553 --> 00:13:31,477
Friday count documents, there's some

605
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:32,891
good news, and there's some

606
00:13:32,891 --> 00:13:34,899
not so good news. Uh, the way you

607
00:13:34,899 --> 00:13:38,590
look at it, you know,

608
00:13:38,590 --> 00:13:39,834
our enrollment is

609
00:13:39,834 --> 00:13:41,078
down

610
00:13:41,078 --> 00:13:42,736
about 150 students, I

611
00:13:42,736 --> 00:13:44,312
think it's about 148.

612
00:13:44,312 --> 00:13:45,307
But I have to

613
00:13:45,307 --> 00:13:46,634
point out a couple of

614
00:13:46,634 --> 00:13:47,919
things to you: The number of

615
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:49,536
kids in 4K is down

616
00:13:49,536 --> 00:13:50,863
because there's a

617
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:52,521
new 4K program, "Get Kids

618
00:13:52,521 --> 00:13:53,782
Ahead." We talked about

619
00:13:53,782 --> 00:13:54,952
this when several of our

620
00:13:54,952 --> 00:13:55,852
educational institutions

621
00:13:55,852 --> 00:13:56,902
chose this program

622
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:59,242
instead of the school one. So

623
00:13:59,242 --> 00:14:00,585
, you know, in itself,

624
00:14:00,585 --> 00:14:01,559
I don't know exactly

625
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,802
how many children, because we

626
00:14:02,802 --> 00:14:04,112
don't track them, because

627
00:14:04,112 --> 00:14:05,220
they're in a

628
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:06,228
different state

629
00:14:06,228 --> 00:14:08,578
program. So that

630
00:14:08,578 --> 00:14:09,949
explains why some of

631
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:11,207
the numbers have decreased,

632
00:14:11,207 --> 00:14:12,693
especially in 4K,

633
00:14:12,693 --> 00:14:14,179
because, you know, the number of

634
00:14:14,179 --> 00:14:15,627
kids in 4K has decreased by

635
00:14:15,627 --> 00:14:16,770
about 17 in

636
00:14:16,770 --> 00:14:18,150
that direction. Uh,

637
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:19,254
but overall, you know,

638
00:14:19,254 --> 00:14:20,030
high school is

639
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:21,163
down about

640
00:14:21,163 --> 00:14:22,088
20. Uh, high

641
00:14:22,088 --> 00:14:22,804
school is supposedly

642
00:14:22,804 --> 00:14:23,550
holding up, and

643
00:14:23,550 --> 00:14:24,714
elementary schools are really

644
00:14:24,714 --> 00:14:25,907
hard to compare because

645
00:14:25,907 --> 00:14:26,981
we redistributed

646
00:14:26,981 --> 00:14:27,965
districts from last

647
00:14:27,965 --> 00:14:29,666
year to

648
00:14:29,696 --> 00:14:30,680
elementary school attendance districts,

649
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,784
so it's hard to look

650
00:14:31,784 --> 00:14:32,869
at cohort groups.

651
00:14:32,869 --> 00:14:34,012
You need to look in more detail

652
00:14:34,012 --> 00:14:35,314
below. Uh,

653
00:14:35,314 --> 00:14:36,577
and if you look at

654
00:14:36,577 --> 00:14:37,706
this diagonally across the

655
00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:39,035
cohort groups, you can

656
00:14:39,035 --> 00:14:40,032
see where everything

657
00:14:40,032 --> 00:14:41,647
is. Uh, but

658
00:14:41,647 --> 00:14:42,611
overall, you know,

659
00:14:42,611 --> 00:14:43,608
at the bottom of the table, we

660
00:14:43,608 --> 00:14:44,700
also track

661
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:45,953
Trinity and

662
00:14:45,953 --> 00:14:47,046
St. Patrick's, as well

663
00:14:47,046 --> 00:14:48,010
as

664
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:48,946
home school performance.

665
00:14:48,946 --> 00:14:49,742
Remember that

666
00:14:49,742 --> 00:14:50,844
homeschool rates

667
00:14:50,844 --> 00:14:52,069
will never be

668
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:53,110
accurate until October,

669
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:54,764
when

670
00:14:54,795 --> 00:14:56,044
homeschool registration is mandatory. Therefore

671
00:14:56,044 --> 00:14:57,199
, when we talk about the

672
00:14:57,199 --> 00:14:58,210
coverage level in

673
00:14:58,210 --> 00:14:59,191
the district, we tend to

674
00:14:59,191 --> 00:15:00,317
wait until the

675
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:01,356
January count, because then

676
00:15:01,356 --> 00:15:02,338
we have all the official

677
00:15:02,338 --> 00:15:03,831
data. Uh, but

678
00:15:03,831 --> 00:15:05,667
St. Patrick's is

679
00:15:05,698 --> 00:15:06,850
up about

680
00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:07,877
19. Uh, uh,

681
00:15:07,877 --> 00:15:08,780
Trinity is

682
00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:10,025
down about

683
00:15:10,025 --> 00:15:11,083
nine, and as you

684
00:15:11,083 --> 00:15:13,044
said, homeschooling

685
00:15:13,075 --> 00:15:14,040
is a moot

686
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,192
point right now until we

687
00:15:15,192 --> 00:15:16,312
get, uh,

688
00:15:16,312 --> 00:15:17,557
all the

689
00:15:17,557 --> 00:15:18,802
homeschooling data,

690
00:15:18,802 --> 00:15:19,767
and a lot of it doesn't

691
00:15:19,767 --> 00:15:21,430
come in until October.

692
00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:22,775
So, uh, once we

693
00:15:22,775 --> 00:15:23,873
get all this

694
00:15:23,873 --> 00:15:25,148
information, then we

695
00:15:25,148 --> 00:15:26,494
can calculate

696
00:15:26,494 --> 00:15:27,911
the reach rate

697
00:15:27,911 --> 00:15:29,009
and other things to

698
00:15:29,009 --> 00:15:30,178
know exactly how we're

699
00:15:30,178 --> 00:15:31,098
doing and what it

700
00:15:31,098 --> 00:15:32,344
looks like. So, just

701
00:15:32,344 --> 00:15:33,401
a few things to

702
00:15:33,401 --> 00:15:34,545
look out for,

703
00:15:34,545 --> 00:15:35,659
which Bonnie talked a little bit about

704
00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:36,545
. Uh,

705
00:15:36,545 --> 00:15:37,791
last year we

706
00:15:37,791 --> 00:15:38,899
had 178 open

707
00:15:38,899 --> 00:15:40,350
registration applications. We are

708
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:41,701
currently trending

709
00:15:41,701 --> 00:15:42,646
towards 172 open

710
00:15:42,646 --> 00:15:44,064
registration applications.

711
00:15:44,064 --> 00:15:45,451
We had 257 applications

712
00:15:45,451 --> 00:15:46,761
for registration, but

713
00:15:46,761 --> 00:15:48,264
this year we

714
00:15:48,264 --> 00:15:49,668
only had 234 applications. So, uh

715
00:15:49,668 --> 00:15:50,466
, and part of that is

716
00:15:50,466 --> 00:15:51,538
because we're

717
00:15:51,538 --> 00:15:52,418
not the only county in

718
00:15:52,418 --> 00:15:53,243
this area that's

719
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:54,096
seeing a

720
00:15:54,096 --> 00:15:55,086
decline in

721
00:15:55,086 --> 00:15:56,259
registration applications.

722
00:15:56,259 --> 00:15:56,966
I would say that

723
00:15:56,966 --> 00:15:57,929
most, if not

724
00:15:57,929 --> 00:15:58,863
all, districts in

725
00:15:58,863 --> 00:15:59,401
St. Croix County

726
00:15:59,401 --> 00:16:00,421
are showing some

727
00:16:00,421 --> 00:16:01,440
decline in

728
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,544
enrollment, even some of

729
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:03,337
those districts that are

730
00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:04,356
building a lot

731
00:16:04,356 --> 00:16:05,347
more housing than

732
00:16:05,347 --> 00:16:06,453
we have. So, are there any

733
00:16:06,453 --> 00:16:07,260
questions about

734
00:16:07,260 --> 00:16:08,505
student numbers or

735
00:16:08,505 --> 00:16:09,749
the count for Third

736
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:11,604
Friday? This is solely

737
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:12,775
the number of students on

738
00:16:12,775 --> 00:16:14,407
site. This is not the weighted

739
00:16:14,407 --> 00:16:15,911
number of students

740
00:16:15,911 --> 00:16:17,454
we are looking at and for

741
00:16:17,454 --> 00:16:19,038
budget purposes

742
00:16:19,038 --> 00:16:20,542
because, for example, 4K students are

743
00:16:20,542 --> 00:16:21,927
not counted as a

744
00:16:21,927 --> 00:16:22,995
full 1.0, they are

745
00:16:22,995 --> 00:16:25,904
counted as 0.6,

746
00:16:25,904 --> 00:16:27,038
etc., but are there any

747
00:16:27,038 --> 00:16:27,916
questions about the

748
00:16:27,916 --> 00:16:29,270
Third

749
00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:31,534
Friday count?

750
00:16:31,534 --> 00:16:32,763
No questions? So

751
00:16:32,763 --> 00:16:33,755
I'll stay with Nick

752
00:16:33,755 --> 00:16:35,498
on the security and staffing plan

753
00:16:35,528 --> 00:16:36,380
.

754
00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:37,128
So, this was a

755
00:16:37,128 --> 00:16:38,312
belated report

756
00:16:38,312 --> 00:16:39,366
card. This is not something

757
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:40,038
you need to

758
00:16:40,038 --> 00:16:40,919
vote on

759
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:41,591
tonight or anything

760
00:16:41,591 --> 00:16:42,402
like that, but one of

761
00:16:42,402 --> 00:16:43,098
the questions the board

762
00:16:43,098 --> 00:16:43,886
asked last

763
00:16:43,886 --> 00:16:44,442
time when we

764
00:16:44,442 --> 00:16:45,276
raised the issue

765
00:16:45,276 --> 00:16:45,879
of the potential for a

766
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:46,574
third SRO was

767
00:16:46,574 --> 00:16:47,339
can you outline

768
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:47,965
some of the costs

769
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:48,811
associated with that? And

770
00:16:48,811 --> 00:16:49,881
so, uh, we just

771
00:16:49,881 --> 00:16:51,178
wrapped up some of these

772
00:16:51,178 --> 00:16:52,728
things today. And

773
00:16:52,728 --> 00:16:53,794
so, you know, we had

774
00:16:53,794 --> 00:16:54,750
some

775
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:56,184
conversations with, uh, the city of

776
00:16:56,184 --> 00:16:58,170
Hudson. And uh, are

777
00:16:58,170 --> 00:16:59,440
they interested in

778
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,448
this? What would it

779
00:17:00,448 --> 00:17:01,604
look like if we

780
00:17:01,604 --> 00:17:03,001
went down this path? Hmm,

781
00:17:03,001 --> 00:17:04,544
because usually with SRO

782
00:17:04,544 --> 00:17:05,803
it works like this: we

783
00:17:05,803 --> 00:17:07,427
pay 75% of the cost,

784
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:08,686
they pay 25% of

785
00:17:08,686 --> 00:17:10,108
the cost, because they have

786
00:17:10,108 --> 00:17:11,610
us for 9 months a year,

787
00:17:11,610 --> 00:17:13,194
then 3 months a year,

788
00:17:13,194 --> 00:17:16,635
that's how it is. And so

789
00:17:16,635 --> 00:17:17,665
what happened was, we

790
00:17:17,665 --> 00:17:19,062
sorted it out, and Bonnie

791
00:17:19,062 --> 00:17:20,888
helped put it together.

792
00:17:20,888 --> 00:17:21,887
Hmm, how much are we currently

793
00:17:21,887 --> 00:17:23,291
paying the two

794
00:17:24,344 --> 00:17:25,262
part-

795
00:17:25,262 --> 00:17:26,253
time campus security officers? Not the

796
00:17:26,253 --> 00:17:28,066
current SRO. We have an

797
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:29,665
SRO at the high school.

798
00:17:29,665 --> 00:17:31,533
Plus we have two

799
00:17:31,567 --> 00:17:33,277
campus security officers. And

800
00:17:33,277 --> 00:17:34,571
then we have our

801
00:17:34,571 --> 00:17:35,513
regular, um,

802
00:17:35,513 --> 00:17:37,042
campus observers

803
00:17:37,042 --> 00:17:39,214
, and these are the others. But these are two

804
00:17:39,244 --> 00:17:40,364
campus security officers who

805
00:17:40,364 --> 00:17:41,366
work part-

806
00:17:41,366 --> 00:17:42,162
time at the

807
00:17:42,162 --> 00:17:43,416
high school. Hmm, we're

808
00:17:43,416 --> 00:17:44,792
spending about

809
00:17:44,792 --> 00:17:45,990
$61,000 a year out of what

810
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:46,696
we've

811
00:17:46,696 --> 00:17:47,930
budgeted for these

812
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:49,257
two people. For us to

813
00:17:49,257 --> 00:17:50,984
pay 3/4 of the SRO, that's

814
00:17:50,984 --> 00:17:52,859
about $116,000

815
00:17:52,859 --> 00:17:55,239
per year. So, the difference is

816
00:17:55,239 --> 00:17:56,540
about

817
00:17:56,540 --> 00:17:57,726
$55,000. As

818
00:17:57,726 --> 00:17:58,949
for, uh,

819
00:17:58,949 --> 00:18:00,389
cost. But the difference is

820
00:18:00,389 --> 00:18:01,325
that

821
00:18:01,325 --> 00:18:02,459
our self-assessment

822
00:18:02,459 --> 00:18:03,480
organizations were able to

823
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,217
pay our

824
00:18:04,217 --> 00:18:05,096
self-assessment

825
00:18:05,096 --> 00:18:06,146
organizations from the

826
00:18:06,146 --> 00:18:07,081
80 fund. This is, uh, our

827
00:18:07,081 --> 00:18:08,238
public works fund. Uh

828
00:18:08,238 --> 00:18:09,222
, and although the costs will be added to the

829
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:11,038
public works fund,

830
00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:12,299
we

831
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:13,499
have a fund balance that

832
00:18:13,499 --> 00:18:14,730
can cover it this

833
00:18:14,730 --> 00:18:15,579
year. And then we will

834
00:18:15,579 --> 00:18:16,356
be able to make

835
00:18:16,356 --> 00:18:17,439
adjustments to

836
00:18:17,439 --> 00:18:18,619
next year's budget. Uh,

837
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:19,779
there will be savings to

838
00:18:19,779 --> 00:18:20,903
fund 10. And

839
00:18:20,903 --> 00:18:21,747
so when we

840
00:18:21,747 --> 00:18:22,837
talk primarily

841
00:18:22,837 --> 00:18:24,067
about budget

842
00:18:24,067 --> 00:18:25,227
issues, fund 10 is the

843
00:18:25,227 --> 00:18:26,282
budget that we are

844
00:18:26,282 --> 00:18:27,407
always most

845
00:18:27,407 --> 00:18:29,446
concerned about. Uh, and that would be a

846
00:18:29,446 --> 00:18:30,860
budget cut of

847
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,078
about

848
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:32,943
$61,000 to

849
00:18:32,943 --> 00:18:34,475
fund 10. Now

850
00:18:34,475 --> 00:18:35,929
, we talked about

851
00:18:35,929 --> 00:18:37,461
how these positions would be, uh

852
00:18:37,461 --> 00:18:38,680
, regulated,

853
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,094
the position would be

854
00:18:40,094 --> 00:18:41,627
primarily for elementary

855
00:18:41,627 --> 00:18:43,284
school students. Uh, and

856
00:18:43,284 --> 00:18:44,249
serving

857
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:47,679
elementary school students.

858
00:18:47,679 --> 00:18:49,090
However, whenever the

859
00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:50,501
high school or middle

860
00:18:50,501 --> 00:18:51,804
school SRO was gone, this SRO

861
00:18:51,804 --> 00:18:53,143
would fill in so that

862
00:18:53,143 --> 00:18:54,519
we always had someone

863
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:55,930
at the high school while

864
00:18:55,930 --> 00:19:00,233
we were working. That's

865
00:19:00,233 --> 00:19:01,810
why the district initially

866
00:19:01,810 --> 00:19:03,388
added two

867
00:19:03,388 --> 00:19:05,093
campus safety officers back in

868
00:19:05,093 --> 00:19:08,492
2015. Hmm, the SRO

869
00:19:08,492 --> 00:19:09,863
was called out of the building for

870
00:19:09,863 --> 00:19:10,891
various issues, and

871
00:19:10,891 --> 00:19:11,782
then the building

872
00:19:11,782 --> 00:19:12,741
was left without

873
00:19:12,741 --> 00:19:14,043
anyone there, and that's how

874
00:19:14,043 --> 00:19:17,548
they added it. This

875
00:19:17,548 --> 00:19:18,498
position would also not

876
00:19:18,498 --> 00:19:19,808
only provide

877
00:19:19,808 --> 00:19:21,119
support and work

878
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,265
with our elementary

879
00:19:22,265 --> 00:19:23,019
school, etc.,

880
00:19:23,019 --> 00:19:24,231
substituting for the high school and

881
00:19:24,231 --> 00:19:25,410
middle school when

882
00:19:25,410 --> 00:19:26,556
needed, but would also

883
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:27,801
work with Josh

884
00:19:27,801 --> 00:19:28,948
Galverson, our

885
00:19:28,948 --> 00:19:29,701
assistant

886
00:19:29,701 --> 00:19:30,651
principal who

887
00:19:30,651 --> 00:19:31,961
handles

888
00:19:31,961 --> 00:19:34,325
safety issues. This person would

889
00:19:34,325 --> 00:19:35,754
also have been, and I know,

890
00:19:35,754 --> 00:19:36,932
discussing this with the

891
00:19:36,932 --> 00:19:38,717
city. We could

892
00:19:38,717 --> 00:19:39,934
send that person

893
00:19:39,934 --> 00:19:40,921
for training and not

894
00:19:40,921 --> 00:19:42,105
replace them,

895
00:19:42,105 --> 00:19:43,224
because that's one of the things

896
00:19:43,224 --> 00:19:44,441
that happens with SROs

897
00:19:44,441 --> 00:19:45,493
about every 3

898
00:19:45,493 --> 00:19:46,712
years, they get replaced.

899
00:19:46,712 --> 00:19:47,502
So, we can

900
00:19:47,502 --> 00:19:48,378
invest in this

901
00:19:48,378 --> 00:19:49,508
person, send them

902
00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:50,609
to training, they

903
00:19:50,609 --> 00:19:51,597
will still work with

904
00:19:51,597 --> 00:19:52,360
the Department of

905
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:53,433
Homeland Security

906
00:19:53,433 --> 00:19:54,535
and the U.S. Secret Service

907
00:19:54,535 --> 00:19:55,495
, which is who we

908
00:19:55,495 --> 00:19:56,399
work with on

909
00:19:56,399 --> 00:19:58,065
security and protection issues

910
00:19:58,093 --> 00:19:59,772
related to schools. They

911
00:19:59,772 --> 00:20:00,733
are experts in

912
00:20:00,733 --> 00:20:03,216
school safety. And so it was

913
00:20:03,216 --> 00:20:03,840
they,

914
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,660
the Department of

915
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:05,940
Homeland Security, that

916
00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:06,990
did the

917
00:20:06,990 --> 00:20:08,073
school security assessments, and you

918
00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:09,090
know, this

919
00:20:09,090 --> 00:20:10,338
position would be working with

920
00:20:10,338 --> 00:20:11,585
school personnel to

921
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:12,864
review; well, what have

922
00:20:12,864 --> 00:20:13,947
they identified as

923
00:20:13,947 --> 00:20:15,162
problems or challenges

924
00:20:15,162 --> 00:20:16,212
or something like that

925
00:20:16,212 --> 00:20:17,360
within that, and what are the

926
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,443
things we need to

927
00:20:18,443 --> 00:20:21,432
do? They

928
00:20:21,432 --> 00:20:22,361
will also work with

929
00:20:22,361 --> 00:20:23,413
district staff

930
00:20:23,413 --> 00:20:24,621
on what training

931
00:20:24,621 --> 00:20:25,364
we need to

932
00:20:25,364 --> 00:20:26,416
do and what we

933
00:20:26,416 --> 00:20:27,500
need to do with

934
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:28,615
staff, and they

935
00:20:28,615 --> 00:20:29,389
will provide

936
00:20:29,389 --> 00:20:30,441
recommendations on

937
00:20:30,441 --> 00:20:31,587
school safety issues

938
00:20:31,587 --> 00:20:32,825
for the future, and this is what

939
00:20:32,825 --> 00:20:35,718
it looks like. This

940
00:20:35,718 --> 00:20:36,699
position can

941
00:20:36,699 --> 00:20:38,260
start as early as

942
00:20:38,260 --> 00:20:39,911
January 1st, because the city

943
00:20:39,911 --> 00:20:41,383
remembers that their

944
00:20:41,383 --> 00:20:42,856
fiscal year is from

945
00:20:42,856 --> 00:20:44,462
January 1st to December 31st, and

946
00:20:44,462 --> 00:20:45,845
ours is from July 1st to

947
00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:48,985
June 30th. Hmm, that's exactly what you

948
00:20:48,985 --> 00:20:49,821
can

949
00:20:49,821 --> 00:20:52,050
start with then. And

950
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:53,235
then we could go in

951
00:20:53,235 --> 00:20:54,361
that direction if the

952
00:20:54,361 --> 00:20:55,487
council wanted to go in

953
00:20:55,487 --> 00:20:56,417
that direction. There

954
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:57,131
simply wasn't any interest among

955
00:20:57,131 --> 00:20:58,084
school districts in

956
00:20:58,084 --> 00:20:59,275
other counties

957
00:20:59,275 --> 00:21:00,228
in

958
00:21:00,228 --> 00:21:01,389
taking a stand at the

959
00:21:01,389 --> 00:21:03,887
district level. Um, the way

960
00:21:03,887 --> 00:21:04,949
we look at it,

961
00:21:04,949 --> 00:21:06,011
being able to have someone in

962
00:21:06,011 --> 00:21:06,912
our buildings

963
00:21:06,912 --> 00:21:09,036
who

964
00:21:09,069 --> 00:21:10,034
has police

965
00:21:10,034 --> 00:21:11,000
powers and

966
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,740
authority in the event of a disturbance is

967
00:21:11,740 --> 00:21:12,963
an advantage over

968
00:21:12,963 --> 00:21:14,154
our armed

969
00:21:14,154 --> 00:21:14,991
guards and

970
00:21:14,991 --> 00:21:15,667
private

971
00:21:15,667 --> 00:21:16,890
contractors who don't

972
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:17,952
necessarily have

973
00:21:17,952 --> 00:21:18,982
those police

974
00:21:18,982 --> 00:21:22,956
powers. So, um,

975
00:21:22,956 --> 00:21:24,390
that's our recommendation

976
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:25,358
if you want to

977
00:21:25,358 --> 00:21:26,325
step it up and

978
00:21:26,325 --> 00:21:28,617
move forward. If

979
00:21:28,617 --> 00:21:29,895
you say, "No, um, that's

980
00:21:29,895 --> 00:21:31,108
not the direction

981
00:21:31,108 --> 00:21:32,288
we're thinking of," that's

982
00:21:32,288 --> 00:21:33,589
fine too. I'm completely

983
00:21:33,589 --> 00:21:34,850
open to that. I

984
00:21:34,850 --> 00:21:35,528
just want to

985
00:21:35,528 --> 00:21:36,637
make sure we

986
00:21:36,637 --> 00:21:37,776
discussed this

987
00:21:37,776 --> 00:21:40,947
issue again. Well, that's an

988
00:21:40,947 --> 00:21:41,934
advantage. We'll

989
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:43,158
continue, Molly.

990
00:21:43,158 --> 00:21:44,542
Thank you. Let's.

991
00:21:44,542 --> 00:21:45,419
I just wanted to

992
00:21:45,419 --> 00:21:46,264
say that this is an

993
00:21:46,264 --> 00:21:47,467
advantage for both us and the

994
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:49,011
city. Um, it's

995
00:21:49,011 --> 00:21:50,242
cost savings for

996
00:21:50,242 --> 00:21:51,474
them and flexibility,

997
00:21:51,474 --> 00:21:52,149
right?

998
00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:53,504
Yes, I think it

999
00:21:53,504 --> 00:21:55,025
helps the city because

1000
00:21:55,025 --> 00:21:59,829
they probably have

1001
00:21:59,829 --> 00:22:00,779
some budget

1002
00:22:00,779 --> 00:22:02,001
issues right now that

1003
00:22:02,001 --> 00:22:03,223
they're working through, and

1004
00:22:03,223 --> 00:22:04,479
it essentially allows them to

1005
00:22:04,479 --> 00:22:05,531
set aside a position,

1006
00:22:05,531 --> 00:22:06,889
probably as a cutback

1007
00:22:06,889 --> 00:22:10,373
for them. Otherwise, it would be

1008
00:22:10,373 --> 00:22:11,403
very difficult for them to

1009
00:22:11,403 --> 00:22:12,207
take on

1010
00:22:12,207 --> 00:22:13,398
additional expenses at

1011
00:22:13,398 --> 00:22:14,557
this time because of the way

1012
00:22:14,557 --> 00:22:15,587
their

1013
00:22:15,587 --> 00:22:19,632
budget is structured. Molly.

1014
00:22:19,632 --> 00:22:20,954
Um, so I

1015
00:22:20,954 --> 00:22:22,391
understand correctly, we have an SRO,

1016
00:22:22,391 --> 00:22:23,827
it would be an additional SRO

1017
00:22:23,827 --> 00:22:25,074
that is located at the

1018
00:22:25,074 --> 00:22:26,246
high school and the

1019
00:22:26,246 --> 00:22:27,792
middle school, right?

1020
00:22:27,792 --> 00:22:28,954
Or will they be one

1021
00:22:28,954 --> 00:22:29,964
in high school and

1022
00:22:29,964 --> 00:22:30,982
then a floater?

1023
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:32,252
We currently have one in

1024
00:22:32,252 --> 00:22:33,642
high school. We have

1025
00:22:33,642 --> 00:22:34,904
one in high school

1026
00:22:34,904 --> 00:22:35,037
.

1027
00:22:35,037 --> 00:22:35,612
Good.

1028
00:22:35,612 --> 00:22:36,502
This one will mainly

1029
00:22:36,502 --> 00:22:37,392
support

1030
00:22:37,392 --> 00:22:38,628
elementary schoolers and,

1031
00:22:38,628 --> 00:22:39,208
well,

1032
00:22:39,208 --> 00:22:40,274
replace the high

1033
00:22:40,274 --> 00:22:41,144
school in high

1034
00:22:41,144 --> 00:22:41,987
school when their

1035
00:22:41,987 --> 00:22:42,900
parents leave. And

1036
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:43,740
also they will have

1037
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:44,440
some time and

1038
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,503
opportunity to be

1039
00:22:45,503 --> 00:22:46,594
more proactive in

1040
00:22:46,594 --> 00:22:47,546
our

1041
00:22:47,546 --> 00:22:48,637
security and defense planning, and

1042
00:22:48,637 --> 00:22:49,717
that's also in that vein. I

1043
00:22:49,717 --> 00:22:50,824
think I

1044
00:22:50,824 --> 00:22:52,095
understood correctly, and thank you for the

1045
00:22:52,095 --> 00:22:53,551
explanation. I think that

1046
00:22:53,551 --> 00:22:54,785
sounds great. I

1047
00:22:54,785 --> 00:22:55,843
think that, um, I would

1048
00:22:55,843 --> 00:22:57,140
probably also support

1049
00:22:57,140 --> 00:22:59,393
keeping our two

1050
00:23:00,724 --> 00:23:01,884
part-

1051
00:23:01,884 --> 00:23:03,872
time campus safety officers. Hmm,

1052
00:23:03,872 --> 00:23:05,371
just because sometimes

1053
00:23:05,371 --> 00:23:07,289
more people is better. And

1054
00:23:07,289 --> 00:23:08,530
this is just my opinion, but

1055
00:23:08,530 --> 00:23:09,709
if I wanted to bring

1056
00:23:09,709 --> 00:23:10,919
it up for discussion, what do

1057
00:23:10,919 --> 00:23:12,037
other people think about

1058
00:23:12,037 --> 00:23:14,127
this? Because

1059
00:23:14,127 --> 00:23:15,360
it worries me a little,

1060
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,592
we would go from three

1061
00:23:16,592 --> 00:23:17,856
people in high school

1062
00:23:17,856 --> 00:23:18,818
to two. Do they

1063
00:23:18,818 --> 00:23:19,567
change days,

1064
00:23:19,567 --> 00:23:20,525
part-

1065
00:23:20,525 --> 00:23:20,895
time?

1066
00:23:20,895 --> 00:23:21,774
Yes, they are part-

1067
00:23:21,774 --> 00:23:22,654
time, they are

1068
00:23:22,654 --> 00:23:23,482
part-

1069
00:23:23,482 --> 00:23:24,966
time.

1070
00:23:24,966 --> 00:23:26,025
So I find this

1071
00:23:26,025 --> 00:23:27,084
a little disturbing, but

1072
00:23:27,084 --> 00:23:27,725
can we

1073
00:23:27,725 --> 00:23:28,645
talk about it

1074
00:23:28,645 --> 00:23:29,108
more?

1075
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:31,091
Yes, definitely.

1076
00:23:31,091 --> 00:23:32,157
Mr. President,

1077
00:23:32,157 --> 00:23:34,748
I guess on that

1078
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:35,787
line of thought,

1079
00:23:35,787 --> 00:23:37,005
given that this

1080
00:23:37,005 --> 00:23:38,439
new SRO is primarily

1081
00:23:38,439 --> 00:23:39,263
dedicated to

1082
00:23:39,263 --> 00:23:40,697
the elementary school, but

1083
00:23:40,697 --> 00:23:41,521
then it would

1084
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:42,812
support the high

1085
00:23:42,812 --> 00:23:44,102
school, if this SRO

1086
00:23:44,102 --> 00:23:45,464
is called, how often do

1087
00:23:45,464 --> 00:23:46,790
we know if the high

1088
00:23:46,790 --> 00:23:48,224
school is doing this SRO in the

1089
00:23:48,224 --> 00:23:49,550
high school or the middle

1090
00:23:49,550 --> 00:23:50,804
school, if it can't

1091
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:52,094
be there, that we

1092
00:23:52,094 --> 00:23:53,385
drag the

1093
00:23:53,385 --> 00:23:55,368
elementary school SRO there? Do

1094
00:23:55,368 --> 00:23:56,725
we have an estimate?

1095
00:23:56,725 --> 00:23:58,095
Or we could, like... I

1096
00:23:58,095 --> 00:23:59,465
understand that you may

1097
00:23:59,465 --> 00:24:00,113
not have...

1098
00:24:00,113 --> 00:24:01,174
It may not be as

1099
00:24:01,174 --> 00:24:02,235
common as it seems,

1100
00:24:02,235 --> 00:24:03,144
but it seems that

1101
00:24:03,144 --> 00:24:04,327
sometimes we... we use them a lot

1102
00:24:04,327 --> 00:24:05,539
,

1103
00:24:05,539 --> 00:24:06,573
right? And often we are without

1104
00:24:06,573 --> 00:24:07,461
them, and then we either

1105
00:24:07,461 --> 00:24:08,321
drag

1106
00:24:08,321 --> 00:24:09,264
high school along to

1107
00:24:09,264 --> 00:24:11,178
cover it up, and then there is a

1108
00:24:11,206 --> 00:24:12,449
problem in high school. So

1109
00:24:12,449 --> 00:24:13,954
, I...quite often. I

1110
00:24:13,954 --> 00:24:15,059
mean, I think

1111
00:24:15,059 --> 00:24:15,995
they do

1112
00:24:15,995 --> 00:24:17,016
a lot of training, and

1113
00:24:17,016 --> 00:24:18,008
it definitely put

1114
00:24:18,008 --> 00:24:18,717
us in a difficult

1115
00:24:18,717 --> 00:24:19,356
position.

1116
00:24:19,356 --> 00:24:20,241
I think it would be

1117
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:21,043
helpful to have this

1118
00:24:21,043 --> 00:24:21,955
assessment as part of

1119
00:24:21,955 --> 00:24:22,591
continuing

1120
00:24:22,591 --> 00:24:23,642
to refine this

1121
00:24:23,642 --> 00:24:24,922
plan. Overall, I

1122
00:24:24,922 --> 00:24:26,636
really like it.

1123
00:24:26,636 --> 00:24:27,969
I think it's worth

1124
00:24:27,969 --> 00:24:28,669
further

1125
00:24:28,669 --> 00:24:29,803
discussion, and it

1126
00:24:29,803 --> 00:24:30,603
kind of

1127
00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:32,671
builds on Molly's idea that

1128
00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:34,038
maybe it's not a replacement,

1129
00:24:34,038 --> 00:24:35,171
it's a complement, but

1130
00:24:35,171 --> 00:24:36,305
getting more

1131
00:24:36,305 --> 00:24:37,572
data to

1132
00:24:37,572 --> 00:24:38,772
understand how often

1133
00:24:38,772 --> 00:24:40,006
they're being pulled would be

1134
00:24:40,006 --> 00:24:41,140
helpful in

1135
00:24:41,140 --> 00:24:42,554
guiding that. I don't

1136
00:24:42,554 --> 00:24:43,854
know what others are thinking

1137
00:24:43,854 --> 00:24:44,908
or where they

1138
00:24:44,908 --> 00:24:47,252
fall. I would like to

1139
00:24:47,252 --> 00:24:48,110
see

1140
00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:49,397
job descriptions for all of them

1141
00:24:49,397 --> 00:24:50,453
so that we in the community

1142
00:24:50,453 --> 00:24:51,739
have an idea of

1143
00:24:51,739 --> 00:24:52,993
what their role is, and

1144
00:24:52,993 --> 00:24:54,280
I would also like to have one

1145
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,731
for the part-

1146
00:24:58,074 --> 00:25:00,846
time security officers. Um, because

1147
00:25:00,846 --> 00:25:02,251
I'm curious how it's

1148
00:25:02,251 --> 00:25:03,557
different.

1149
00:25:03,557 --> 00:25:05,473
Hmm.

1150
00:25:05,473 --> 00:25:06,691
And I mean,

1151
00:25:06,691 --> 00:25:07,770
safety is

1152
00:25:07,770 --> 00:25:09,127
extremely important to me,

1153
00:25:09,127 --> 00:25:12,982
so I understand what you mean

1154
00:25:12,982 --> 00:25:14,548
, Molly.

1155
00:25:14,548 --> 00:25:15,887
So, this is information

1156
00:25:15,887 --> 00:25:17,254
I would like to have.

1157
00:25:17,254 --> 00:25:19,149
Good. Megan.

1158
00:25:19,149 --> 00:25:20,267
Yes, I just want to

1159
00:25:20,267 --> 00:25:21,623
thank you for this

1160
00:25:21,623 --> 00:25:24,513
work. I find this

1161
00:25:24,513 --> 00:25:26,627
really fascinating.

1162
00:25:26,627 --> 00:25:27,678
I like the

1163
00:25:27,678 --> 00:25:28,532
idea of

1164
00:25:28,532 --> 00:25:29,845
law enforcement getting

1165
00:25:29,845 --> 00:25:32,276
more and more

1166
00:25:33,984 --> 00:25:35,133
emergency and crisis preparedness training, and

1167
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:36,382
working

1168
00:25:36,382 --> 00:25:37,400
with DHS and the Secret

1169
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,467
Service. And

1170
00:25:39,467 --> 00:25:40,432
I also like what a

1171
00:25:40,432 --> 00:25:41,398
net benefit it is for

1172
00:25:41,398 --> 00:25:42,208
our community as

1173
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:43,392
a whole to have someone

1174
00:25:43,392 --> 00:25:44,358
who goes through this

1175
00:25:44,358 --> 00:25:45,829
training. Um, this is

1176
00:25:45,829 --> 00:25:47,445
just fascinating. This would be

1177
00:25:47,445 --> 00:25:49,010
someone who would be there for the

1178
00:25:49,042 --> 00:25:49,968
long term

1179
00:25:49,968 --> 00:25:51,271
. I mean

1180
00:25:51,271 --> 00:25:52,216
, of course, you can't

1181
00:25:52,216 --> 00:25:53,445
force people

1182
00:25:53,445 --> 00:25:54,642
not to change jobs,

1183
00:25:54,642 --> 00:25:55,430
but we can

1184
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:56,690
invest in someone,

1185
00:25:56,690 --> 00:25:57,856
um, and it will be the same

1186
00:25:57,856 --> 00:25:58,995
person. And I

1187
00:25:58,995 --> 00:26:00,069
like the idea of

1188
00:26:00,069 --> 00:26:01,076
having someone

1189
00:26:01,076 --> 00:26:01,982
working in our

1190
00:26:01,982 --> 00:26:03,257
elementary schools, and

1191
00:26:03,257 --> 00:26:08,066
then I personally

1192
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,102
prefer,

1193
00:26:09,102 --> 00:26:09,770
which is to have

1194
00:26:09,770 --> 00:26:10,907
law enforcement officers and

1195
00:26:10,907 --> 00:26:12,143
additional training

1196
00:26:12,143 --> 00:26:12,879
when someone is

1197
00:26:12,879 --> 00:26:14,115
being removed, because I

1198
00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:15,352
just think that, um,

1199
00:26:15,352 --> 00:26:16,321
it's just a net

1200
00:26:16,321 --> 00:26:17,357
benefit for our

1201
00:26:17,357 --> 00:26:18,326
students and our

1202
00:26:18,326 --> 00:26:22,061
staff.

1203
00:26:22,061 --> 00:26:23,300
Yeah, nothing against,

1204
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:24,540
you know, security guards

1205
00:26:24,540 --> 00:26:25,517
versus, you know,

1206
00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:26,944
private security, I

1207
00:26:26,944 --> 00:26:28,259
just think it's

1208
00:26:28,259 --> 00:26:31,191
better for the community. It's

1209
00:26:31,191 --> 00:26:32,167
better for kids

1210
00:26:32,167 --> 00:26:33,481
to see police officers,

1211
00:26:33,481 --> 00:26:34,761
you know, um, and I think

1212
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:35,468
it's a good

1213
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:36,176
opportunity

1214
00:26:36,176 --> 00:26:37,186
to partner with the

1215
00:26:37,186 --> 00:26:38,365
city and work

1216
00:26:38,365 --> 00:26:41,664
together on this. So,

1217
00:26:41,664 --> 00:26:43,044
Brian...

1218
00:26:43,044 --> 00:26:45,059
Yes, I agree. This is a

1219
00:26:45,059 --> 00:26:46,123
net benefit for

1220
00:26:46,123 --> 00:26:47,496
our district, and Bob,

1221
00:26:47,496 --> 00:26:48,663
emphasizing your

1222
00:26:48,663 --> 00:26:49,967
point about

1223
00:26:49,967 --> 00:26:51,203
having students around

1224
00:26:51,203 --> 00:26:51,923
real

1225
00:26:51,923 --> 00:26:52,987
police officers, I

1226
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:54,326
think it's a real

1227
00:26:54,326 --> 00:26:56,189
net benefit. Um, I would...

1228
00:26:56,189 --> 00:26:57,211
I liked

1229
00:26:57,211 --> 00:26:57,850
Molly's idea of

1230
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,159
considering

1231
00:26:59,191 --> 00:27:01,044
keeping two

1232
00:27:01,076 --> 00:27:02,226
part-

1233
00:27:02,226 --> 00:27:03,489
time positions. I think that

1234
00:27:03,489 --> 00:27:04,908
might make sense. So I

1235
00:27:04,908 --> 00:27:05,592
would also like to

1236
00:27:05,592 --> 00:27:06,352
see more

1237
00:27:06,352 --> 00:27:07,239
information on this

1238
00:27:07,239 --> 00:27:08,594
. I have one

1239
00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:10,649
question. Um, fund 80,

1240
00:27:10,649 --> 00:27:11,848
I understand that we

1241
00:27:11,848 --> 00:27:13,171
will pay in the

1242
00:27:13,171 --> 00:27:14,824
first year from the balance of the

1243
00:27:14,824 --> 00:27:16,478
fund, but in general, how do

1244
00:27:16,478 --> 00:27:18,090
we finance fund

1245
00:27:18,090 --> 00:27:21,085
80? Um, could you

1246
00:27:21,085 --> 00:27:22,227
just talk

1247
00:27:22,227 --> 00:27:23,537
about this in general, Bonnie

1248
00:27:23,537 --> 00:27:24,130
or Nick?

1249
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:25,651
Yes. I mean, and

1250
00:27:25,651 --> 00:27:26,819
you know, the 80 fund–it's a

1251
00:27:26,819 --> 00:27:28,236
fund that's charged

1252
00:27:28,236 --> 00:27:29,546
on charges, you know,

1253
00:27:29,546 --> 00:27:30,856
so some of the things that

1254
00:27:30,856 --> 00:27:32,237
happen in the

1255
00:27:32,237 --> 00:27:33,051
80 fund generate

1256
00:27:33,051 --> 00:27:34,468
enough revenue to

1257
00:27:34,468 --> 00:27:35,459
cover its own

1258
00:27:35,459 --> 00:27:36,880
expenses.

1259
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,569
How much do we charge? 425? 450?

1260
00:27:40,569 --> 00:27:41,588
$450,000 per year to the

1261
00:27:41,588 --> 00:27:43,786
80 fund to cover

1262
00:27:43,818 --> 00:27:45,045
community education costs. Um, just

1263
00:27:45,045 --> 00:27:46,345
to give you, you know,

1264
00:27:46,345 --> 00:27:47,576
a little rough

1265
00:27:47,576 --> 00:27:48,943
estimate. I mean, it

1266
00:27:48,943 --> 00:27:50,225
probably takes

1267
00:27:50,225 --> 00:27:51,474
about 13 cents off the

1268
00:27:51,474 --> 00:27:52,658
tax rate to

1269
00:27:52,658 --> 00:27:53,710
make a million

1270
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:54,785
dollars. So that's

1271
00:27:54,785 --> 00:27:55,958
probably about 6 cents,

1272
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:56,770
uh, of the

1273
00:27:56,770 --> 00:27:57,914
housing tax rate for a

1274
00:27:57,914 --> 00:27:59,027
fund of 80. So when you

1275
00:27:59,027 --> 00:27:59,899
start looking at it

1276
00:27:59,899 --> 00:28:00,922
, uh, if

1277
00:28:00,922 --> 00:28:02,126
you need another 1/5 of

1278
00:28:02,126 --> 00:28:02,788
that, that's

1279
00:28:02,788 --> 00:28:03,810
about a penny

1280
00:28:03,810 --> 00:28:05,014
of the housing tax rate

1281
00:28:05,014 --> 00:28:06,037
to cover

1282
00:28:06,037 --> 00:28:07,150
the costs associated with

1283
00:28:07,150 --> 00:28:09,176
that. And you know, so

1284
00:28:09,176 --> 00:28:10,772
for a house you, I

1285
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:11,822
mean, you're

1286
00:28:11,822 --> 00:28:12,955
basically, uh,

1287
00:28:12,955 --> 00:28:14,635
talking about a dollar per

1288
00:28:14,635 --> 00:28:16,273
100,000. That's how

1289
00:28:16,273 --> 00:28:19,080
it works out. Uh, not a

1290
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:19,987
huge, not a

1291
00:28:19,987 --> 00:28:21,196
huge leap

1292
00:28:21,196 --> 00:28:21,982
for people.

1293
00:28:21,982 --> 00:28:23,499
I agree. Uh, one

1294
00:28:23,499 --> 00:28:24,710
additional question

1295
00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:26,095
I wanted to ask

1296
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:28,102
earlier. Why does the transition

1297
00:28:28,102 --> 00:28:29,392
to SRO make it

1298
00:28:29,392 --> 00:28:31,014
suitable for fund 80

1299
00:28:31,014 --> 00:28:33,562
?

1300
00:28:33,562 --> 00:28:34,913
Because it is considered

1301
00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:36,393
community service.

1302
00:28:36,393 --> 00:28:37,624
Yes, due to security, it

1303
00:28:37,624 --> 00:28:38,792
doesn't meet their

1304
00:28:38,792 --> 00:28:39,644
criteria, but

1305
00:28:39,644 --> 00:28:41,853
community service with a

1306
00:28:41,885 --> 00:28:43,686
police liaison officer does.

1307
00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:44,790
Another advantage of the 80 fund

1308
00:28:44,790 --> 00:28:45,839
over the 10 fund

1309
00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:46,750
is that

1310
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:47,854
there is no 80 fund that is not

1311
00:28:47,854 --> 00:28:48,820
subject to the

1312
00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:49,786
income limit, so it is not

1313
00:28:49,786 --> 00:28:50,532
tied to

1314
00:28:50,532 --> 00:28:51,687
enrollment. This is whatever

1315
00:28:51,687 --> 00:28:52,529
you, as a council,

1316
00:28:52,529 --> 00:28:53,791
consider appropriate to

1317
00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:55,080
charge. So that's

1318
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,268
the advantage of the 80 fund

1319
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:58,135
over the 10 fund.

1320
00:28:58,135 --> 00:28:59,580
Thank you. I, uh, also

1321
00:28:59,580 --> 00:29:00,790
think, I always like to

1322
00:29:00,790 --> 00:29:01,907
ask, you know,

1323
00:29:01,907 --> 00:29:03,148
how do we compare ourselves

1324
00:29:03,148 --> 00:29:04,172
to other counties

1325
00:29:04,172 --> 00:29:05,255
our size? And

1326
00:29:05,255 --> 00:29:06,673
different, you know, every

1327
00:29:06,673 --> 00:29:08,167
region is different

1328
00:29:08,167 --> 00:29:09,623
, um, across the state,

1329
00:29:09,623 --> 00:29:11,424
but, uh, you know, we're not.

1330
00:29:11,424 --> 00:29:12,567
And thank you, Tyra, for

1331
00:29:12,567 --> 00:29:13,960
voicing your opinion

1332
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,318
about the difficulties or the

1333
00:29:15,318 --> 00:29:16,747
amount of time

1334
00:29:16,747 --> 00:29:18,105
you don't have, um, because we

1335
00:29:18,105 --> 00:29:19,242
don't know.

1336
00:29:19,242 --> 00:29:20,362
You know, we don't, you know,

1337
00:29:20,362 --> 00:29:21,396
we, uh, I guess,

1338
00:29:21,396 --> 00:29:22,315
you know, the guy in

1339
00:29:22,315 --> 00:29:23,435
high school sits

1340
00:29:23,435 --> 00:29:24,383
in that little

1341
00:29:24,383 --> 00:29:25,503
lobby in the center and,

1342
00:29:25,503 --> 00:29:26,624
you know, claps the kids

1343
00:29:26,624 --> 00:29:27,787
when they come in.

1344
00:29:27,787 --> 00:29:29,120
I, I, you know, and, and, but,

1345
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,243
we don't have this

1346
00:29:30,243 --> 00:29:33,050
daily, you know, what, they do and

1347
00:29:33,050 --> 00:29:34,032
how

1348
00:29:34,032 --> 00:29:35,261
busy they are; and, uh, but

1349
00:29:35,261 --> 00:29:35,997
obviously I

1350
00:29:35,997 --> 00:29:37,226
agree with everyone

1351
00:29:37,226 --> 00:29:38,594
here that, you know, we, we

1352
00:29:38,594 --> 00:29:39,963
want to err on the

1353
00:29:39,963 --> 00:29:41,050
side of, uh, safety,

1354
00:29:41,050 --> 00:29:43,341
you know, and coverage.

1355
00:29:43,341 --> 00:29:44,534
So, uh...Does

1356
00:29:44,534 --> 00:29:47,072
anyone have any more questions?

1357
00:29:47,072 --> 00:29:48,131
Yes, sir.

1358
00:29:48,131 --> 00:29:49,457
Uh...I have a few

1359
00:29:49,457 --> 00:29:50,934
questions. So, during

1360
00:29:50,934 --> 00:29:52,072
training, like in

1361
00:29:52,072 --> 00:29:52,830
school, these SROs,

1362
00:29:52,830 --> 00:29:54,071
whether

1363
00:29:54,071 --> 00:29:55,140
they work

1364
00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:56,346
full-time or part-time

1365
00:29:56,346 --> 00:29:57,380
, are

1366
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,483
they located

1367
00:29:58,483 --> 00:29:59,724
inside the school, or

1368
00:29:59,724 --> 00:30:01,979
mostly outside of it?

1369
00:30:01,979 --> 00:30:03,306
Uh, they're inside...

1370
00:30:03,306 --> 00:30:04,806
the school.

1371
00:30:04,806 --> 00:30:05,701
So, SROs are

1372
00:30:05,701 --> 00:30:08,129
police officers.

1373
00:30:08,129 --> 00:30:09,386
School safety officers are

1374
00:30:09,386 --> 00:30:11,113
not police officers. Yes.

1375
00:30:11,113 --> 00:30:12,332
Uh, sometimes they can be

1376
00:30:12,332 --> 00:30:13,423
outside, sometimes they

1377
00:30:13,423 --> 00:30:14,129
can be

1378
00:30:14,129 --> 00:30:15,355
inside. Uh, but

1379
00:30:15,355 --> 00:30:16,583
our SROs have offices in

1380
00:30:16,583 --> 00:30:17,843
our offices, you know,

1381
00:30:17,843 --> 00:30:18,780
in every

1382
00:30:18,780 --> 00:30:20,040
high school and middle

1383
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,009
school office, so they

1384
00:30:21,009 --> 00:30:22,172
work inside the

1385
00:30:22,172 --> 00:30:23,347
building. They may

1386
00:30:23,347 --> 00:30:24,393
go outside if there

1387
00:30:24,393 --> 00:30:25,439
is something outside, but yes,

1388
00:30:25,439 --> 00:30:26,190
they are mostly

1389
00:30:26,190 --> 00:30:26,800
inside.

1390
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,374
Okay, that's good to know.

1391
00:30:28,374 --> 00:30:29,591
I...there are a lot of schools in

1392
00:30:29,591 --> 00:30:30,366
cities that

1393
00:30:30,366 --> 00:30:31,731
place them outside of the

1394
00:30:31,731 --> 00:30:33,133
schools, so I thought it was a

1395
00:30:33,133 --> 00:30:34,572
pertinent question

1396
00:30:34,572 --> 00:30:37,101
. Um, and is there any

1397
00:30:37,101 --> 00:30:38,187
reason why we

1398
00:30:38,187 --> 00:30:39,562
would want to consider

1399
00:30:39,562 --> 00:30:40,938
whether there is a cost saving

1400
00:30:40,938 --> 00:30:41,807
in performing

1401
00:30:41,807 --> 00:30:42,965
partial SROs through a

1402
00:30:42,965 --> 00:30:44,196
private security

1403
00:30:44,196 --> 00:30:45,354
company, which could

1404
00:30:45,354 --> 00:30:46,512
save a lot of

1405
00:30:46,512 --> 00:30:49,025
money. Hmm,

1406
00:30:49,025 --> 00:30:50,263
believe it or not,

1407
00:30:50,263 --> 00:30:51,013
many of these

1408
00:30:51,013 --> 00:30:52,252
private security

1409
00:30:52,252 --> 00:30:53,425
companies actually

1410
00:30:53,425 --> 00:30:53,979
train

1411
00:30:53,979 --> 00:30:54,957
police officers and

1412
00:30:54,957 --> 00:30:56,228
provide them with additional

1413
00:30:56,228 --> 00:30:58,743
training. And I think it would be

1414
00:30:58,743 --> 00:31:00,120
very valuable to

1415
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,573
at least consider this, to

1416
00:31:01,573 --> 00:31:02,727
entertain this, um,

1417
00:31:02,727 --> 00:31:03,797
part. And they

1418
00:31:03,797 --> 00:31:04,408
work with

1419
00:31:04,408 --> 00:31:05,355
law

1420
00:31:05,355 --> 00:31:06,363
enforcement,

1421
00:31:06,363 --> 00:31:07,524
Homeland Security,

1422
00:31:07,524 --> 00:31:08,410
and all that other

1423
00:31:08,410 --> 00:31:10,256
stuff. Hmm, are these...

1424
00:31:10,256 --> 00:31:11,643
Another question

1425
00:31:11,643 --> 00:31:12,990
I have is, are these

1426
00:31:12,990 --> 00:31:16,881
people wearing... Yeah...

1427
00:31:16,881 --> 00:31:18,458
Uh, I mean these... These... These are

1428
00:31:18,458 --> 00:31:20,601
police officers. So, this is

1429
00:31:20,601 --> 00:31:21,456
...These Hudson full-time

1430
00:31:21,456 --> 00:31:23,003
police officers

1431
00:31:23,003 --> 00:31:25,525
are SROs. So,

1432
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,684
security guards, private

1433
00:31:26,684 --> 00:31:27,399
security guards, are not

1434
00:31:27,399 --> 00:31:28,761
considered SROs because

1435
00:31:28,761 --> 00:31:30,271
they are not police officers.

1436
00:31:30,271 --> 00:31:31,454
They are private

1437
00:31:31,454 --> 00:31:32,308
security guards.

1438
00:31:32,308 --> 00:31:33,099
Good.

1439
00:31:33,099 --> 00:31:33,957
So, school

1440
00:31:33,957 --> 00:31:35,228
resource officers are

1441
00:31:35,228 --> 00:31:36,361
when you bring in

1442
00:31:36,361 --> 00:31:36,945
outside

1443
00:31:36,945 --> 00:31:38,216
law enforcement, whether

1444
00:31:38,216 --> 00:31:39,486
it's a sheriff's deputy

1445
00:31:39,486 --> 00:31:40,860
or a police officer, they

1446
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:43,026
're an SRO. The guards that

1447
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:44,423
some

1448
00:31:44,423 --> 00:31:45,541
counties use, it seems

1449
00:31:45,541 --> 00:31:46,344
Madison, uh,

1450
00:31:46,344 --> 00:31:47,182
turned to

1451
00:31:47,182 --> 00:31:48,405
the guards and pulled

1452
00:31:48,405 --> 00:31:49,104
all their

1453
00:31:49,104 --> 00:31:50,082
police officers out of the

1454
00:31:50,082 --> 00:31:52,017
buildings. Even our

1455
00:31:52,017 --> 00:31:52,978
private security guards,

1456
00:31:52,978 --> 00:31:53,527
our two

1457
00:31:53,527 --> 00:31:54,543
employees who

1458
00:31:54,543 --> 00:31:55,614
work in the county, uh

1459
00:31:55,614 --> 00:31:56,493
, both work

1460
00:31:56,493 --> 00:31:57,371
part-

1461
00:31:57,371 --> 00:31:58,318
time. They seem to be

1462
00:31:58,318 --> 00:31:59,590
dividing time. So

1463
00:31:59,590 --> 00:32:00,927
they are not there at the same time

1464
00:32:00,927 --> 00:32:02,181
. Uh, they're also

1465
00:32:02,181 --> 00:32:03,837
armed officers. Uh,

1466
00:32:03,837 --> 00:32:04,938
so, uh, we use them too

1467
00:32:04,938 --> 00:32:06,101
, but,

1468
00:32:06,101 --> 00:32:07,264
uh, you know, I said

1469
00:32:07,264 --> 00:32:08,488
one of the benefits that

1470
00:32:08,488 --> 00:32:09,131
we see with

1471
00:32:09,131 --> 00:32:10,905
the police is that

1472
00:32:10,936 --> 00:32:11,793
they start to

1473
00:32:11,793 --> 00:32:12,956
build this relationship

1474
00:32:12,956 --> 00:32:13,812
with the Hudson Police

1475
00:32:13,812 --> 00:32:14,639
Department

1476
00:32:14,639 --> 00:32:16,046
or the

1477
00:32:16,903 --> 00:32:18,035
North Hudson Police Department

1478
00:32:18,035 --> 00:32:19,259
or, you know, whatever it is

1479
00:32:19,259 --> 00:32:20,614
. And that, you know, the

1480
00:32:20,614 --> 00:32:21,538
main focus of the

1481
00:32:21,538 --> 00:32:22,660
school

1482
00:32:22,660 --> 00:32:23,848
resource officer program is

1483
00:32:23,848 --> 00:32:24,739
not necessarily

1484
00:32:24,739 --> 00:32:26,059
reactive,

1485
00:32:26,059 --> 00:32:27,115
uh, policing

1486
00:32:27,115 --> 00:32:28,208
. It's more

1487
00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:29,285
about building

1488
00:32:29,285 --> 00:32:29,851
relationships with

1489
00:32:29,851 --> 00:32:30,729
law enforcement

1490
00:32:30,729 --> 00:32:31,664
and being more

1491
00:32:31,664 --> 00:32:33,175
proactive.

1492
00:32:33,175 --> 00:32:34,416
And so we see this as an

1493
00:32:34,416 --> 00:32:35,285
opportunity for

1494
00:32:35,285 --> 00:32:36,185
law enforcement

1495
00:32:36,185 --> 00:32:36,868
versus the

1496
00:32:36,868 --> 00:32:38,078
private sector, uh

1497
00:32:38,078 --> 00:32:38,637
, just

1498
00:32:38,637 --> 00:32:39,878
providing security for the

1499
00:32:39,878 --> 00:32:41,913
building.

1500
00:32:41,913 --> 00:32:43,162
Okay, thank you.

1501
00:32:43,162 --> 00:32:45,190
And as far as I know,

1502
00:32:45,190 --> 00:32:45,941
we don't need to

1503
00:32:45,941 --> 00:32:46,692
vote to

1504
00:32:46,692 --> 00:32:47,625
proceed if we

1505
00:32:47,625 --> 00:32:48,402
want to see

1506
00:32:48,402 --> 00:32:49,360
more information on

1507
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,365
this. Are there any

1508
00:32:50,365 --> 00:32:51,119
deadlines, as you

1509
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:51,959
said with our

1510
00:32:51,959 --> 00:32:52,915
budget, the city

1511
00:32:52,915 --> 00:32:53,929
budget, when you would

1512
00:32:53,929 --> 00:32:54,798
ideally like to

1513
00:32:54,798 --> 00:32:55,710
see a solution?

1514
00:32:55,710 --> 00:32:56,855
Well, I mean,

1515
00:32:56,855 --> 00:32:57,397
we can

1516
00:32:57,397 --> 00:32:58,603
prepare job

1517
00:32:58,603 --> 00:32:59,446
descriptions for the

1518
00:32:59,446 --> 00:33:00,652
October

1519
00:33:00,652 --> 00:33:01,784
board meeting. Um, and we

1520
00:33:01,784 --> 00:33:02,846
can announce

1521
00:33:02,846 --> 00:33:03,970
it in October, so

1522
00:33:03,970 --> 00:33:04,407
if you

1523
00:33:04,407 --> 00:33:05,313
feel

1524
00:33:05,313 --> 00:33:06,531
comfortable at that time,

1525
00:33:06,531 --> 00:33:07,624
you can move

1526
00:33:07,624 --> 00:33:08,770
on. And if you want to

1527
00:33:08,770 --> 00:33:09,719
, you know, bring it up

1528
00:33:09,719 --> 00:33:10,721
at that time,

1529
00:33:10,721 --> 00:33:11,617
you can definitely

1530
00:33:11,617 --> 00:33:12,724
do that. But I

1531
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:13,831
can definitely assure you

1532
00:33:13,831 --> 00:33:14,996
that I have written down job

1533
00:33:14,996 --> 00:33:16,102
descriptions for both SROs

1534
00:33:16,102 --> 00:33:17,413
and

1535
00:33:17,442 --> 00:33:18,450
security officers. And

1536
00:33:18,450 --> 00:33:19,250
then, if we

1537
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:20,235
can get

1538
00:33:20,235 --> 00:33:21,435
some information about

1539
00:33:21,435 --> 00:33:22,389
how often people

1540
00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:23,589
are absent, um,

1541
00:33:23,589 --> 00:33:24,327
we'll try to

1542
00:33:24,327 --> 00:33:25,558
get that for you too;

1543
00:33:25,558 --> 00:33:26,327
but then it will be

1544
00:33:26,327 --> 00:33:27,497
set up that if

1545
00:33:27,497 --> 00:33:28,174
you decide

1546
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:29,066
to continue this in

1547
00:33:29,066 --> 00:33:30,205
October, we can

1548
00:33:30,205 --> 00:33:31,282
do it and then we

1549
00:33:31,282 --> 00:33:32,328
can notify

1550
00:33:32,328 --> 00:33:33,441
the city. If you want to

1551
00:33:33,441 --> 00:33:34,441
bring it up

1552
00:33:34,441 --> 00:33:35,291
at that time, we

1553
00:33:35,291 --> 00:33:36,216
can do that too.

1554
00:33:36,216 --> 00:33:37,445
Aaron, do you have

1555
00:33:37,445 --> 00:33:38,275
any more?

1556
00:33:38,275 --> 00:33:39,756
Um, Nick, could

1557
00:33:39,756 --> 00:33:41,237
you also provide the full

1558
00:33:41,237 --> 00:33:42,348
cost so we

1559
00:33:42,348 --> 00:33:43,792
can see the full

1560
00:33:43,792 --> 00:33:44,903
figure with all the SROs

1561
00:33:44,903 --> 00:33:49,339
proposed by the SROs

1562
00:33:49,339 --> 00:33:51,433
for the budget?

1563
00:33:51,433 --> 00:33:54,161
So what is there now?

1564
00:33:54,161 --> 00:33:55,110
Yes, what we have now,

1565
00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:56,115
but it's two part-

1566
00:33:56,115 --> 00:33:57,037
time, and you

1567
00:33:57,037 --> 00:33:57,987
listed that

1568
00:33:57,987 --> 00:33:58,880
we have one full-

1569
00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,634
time in

1570
00:33:59,634 --> 00:34:00,640
high school, one

1571
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,757
full-time in

1572
00:34:01,757 --> 00:34:02,874
middle school now,

1573
00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:03,926
right? And we have two

1574
00:34:03,926 --> 00:34:04,979
part-time

1575
00:34:04,979 --> 00:34:06,140
jobs.

1576
00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:07,336
No, so our current

1577
00:34:07,336 --> 00:34:08,307
staffing model

1578
00:34:08,307 --> 00:34:09,439
is to

1579
00:34:09,439 --> 00:34:10,991
replace two

1580
00:34:11,024 --> 00:34:12,123
part-

1581
00:34:12,123 --> 00:34:14,339
time security guards. So,

1582
00:34:14,339 --> 00:34:16,204
each SRO, to give you

1583
00:34:16,204 --> 00:34:17,687
an idea, costs

1584
00:34:17,687 --> 00:34:20,215
about $116,000.

1585
00:34:20,215 --> 00:34:21,786
So, we have a $116,000 SRO

1586
00:34:21,786 --> 00:34:23,082
at the high

1587
00:34:23,082 --> 00:34:24,653
school, about

1588
00:34:24,653 --> 00:34:26,184
$116,000 at the middle

1589
00:34:26,184 --> 00:34:27,559
school, but in addition to those

1590
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:29,837
two SROs, we have two

1591
00:34:29,876 --> 00:34:31,212
part-

1592
00:34:31,212 --> 00:34:32,272
time security guards at the

1593
00:34:32,272 --> 00:34:35,312
high school. That's what that

1594
00:34:35,357 --> 00:34:36,143
$61,000 is.

1595
00:34:36,143 --> 00:34:37,344
And is this generally for

1596
00:34:37,344 --> 00:34:38,221
both of them, or is it for

1597
00:34:38,221 --> 00:34:38,809
everyone?

1598
00:34:38,809 --> 00:34:39,998
This is generally for

1599
00:34:39,998 --> 00:34:40,413
both of them.

1600
00:34:40,413 --> 00:34:41,166
Good.

1601
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:42,751
So, we are proposing

1602
00:34:42,751 --> 00:34:44,512
to add another SRO for

1603
00:34:44,512 --> 00:34:46,022
$116,000.

1604
00:34:46,022 --> 00:34:47,425
Yes. So, in this

1605
00:34:47,425 --> 00:34:48,820
document that you

1606
00:34:48,820 --> 00:34:50,108
have, it shows that if

1607
00:34:50,108 --> 00:34:52,576
two part-time security officers were

1608
00:34:52,611 --> 00:34:53,828
to

1609
00:34:53,828 --> 00:34:55,223
ultimately,

1610
00:34:55,223 --> 00:34:56,081
you know, we were to

1611
00:34:56,081 --> 00:34:56,939
terminate that

1612
00:34:56,939 --> 00:34:58,120
program and just

1613
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,479
continue the

1614
00:34:59,479 --> 00:35:00,266
SRO program, that would be a

1615
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:01,589
savings of about

1616
00:35:01,589 --> 00:35:02,448
$61,000 from the

1617
00:35:02,448 --> 00:35:04,105
general fund.

1618
00:35:04,105 --> 00:35:05,746
However, a fund of 80, uh, would have

1619
00:35:05,746 --> 00:35:07,644
raised about

1620
00:35:07,644 --> 00:35:09,622
$116,000 in expenses. So

1621
00:35:09,622 --> 00:35:10,874
the difference, uh, if you

1622
00:35:10,874 --> 00:35:12,160
replace them, the difference

1623
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,446
is about

1624
00:35:13,446 --> 00:35:14,732
$54,000, adding

1625
00:35:14,732 --> 00:35:15,882
that extra

1626
00:35:15,882 --> 00:35:17,209
police officer. If

1627
00:35:17,209 --> 00:35:18,113
the board decides to

1628
00:35:18,113 --> 00:35:19,992
keep the two

1629
00:35:22,463 --> 00:35:23,437
part-time security officers and

1630
00:35:23,437 --> 00:35:24,202
keep the SRO, the

1631
00:35:24,202 --> 00:35:25,350
additional SRO, it's

1632
00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:26,116
just an

1633
00:35:26,116 --> 00:35:27,403
additional cost of

1634
00:35:27,403 --> 00:35:28,725
$116,000

1635
00:35:28,725 --> 00:35:30,117
for the additional SRO,

1636
00:35:30,117 --> 00:35:31,231
but that can be

1637
00:35:31,231 --> 00:35:32,553
covered under Fund 80. It

1638
00:35:32,553 --> 00:35:35,553
won't impact Fund 10.

1639
00:35:35,553 --> 00:35:36,467
Okay, so we'll

1640
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:37,610
look at the bottom line of

1641
00:35:37,610 --> 00:35:38,639
about

1642
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:39,934
$400,000 per year

1643
00:35:39,934 --> 00:35:43,168
for those positions.

1644
00:35:43,168 --> 00:35:45,879
Um, in, in, well, in. Do you mean as a

1645
00:35:45,879 --> 00:35:47,140
whole?

1646
00:35:47,140 --> 00:35:48,749
You know, it's not

1647
00:35:48,749 --> 00:35:50,154
$400,000 right now.

1648
00:35:50,154 --> 00:35:51,096
No, I'm using

1649
00:35:51,096 --> 00:35:52,161
the numbers you just

1650
00:35:52,161 --> 00:35:53,422
gave me. I

1651
00:35:53,422 --> 00:35:54,441
mean, doesn't that

1652
00:35:54,441 --> 00:35:56,830
add up?

1653
00:35:56,830 --> 00:35:58,535
Yes. Yeah, I

1654
00:35:58,535 --> 00:35:59,475
mean, we're

1655
00:35:59,475 --> 00:36:01,182
spending almost

1656
00:36:01,182 --> 00:36:02,463
$240,000, probably

1657
00:36:02,463 --> 00:36:03,829
right now, on our two

1658
00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:05,451
self-defenses, plus another

1659
00:36:05,451 --> 00:36:06,604
$61,000 on

1660
00:36:06,604 --> 00:36:08,312
security guards, so that's

1661
00:36:08,312 --> 00:36:09,507
$300,000, and if you

1662
00:36:09,507 --> 00:36:10,959
add 116, it's

1663
00:36:10,959 --> 00:36:12,325
a little over

1664
00:36:12,325 --> 00:36:13,869
$400,000 total.

1665
00:36:13,869 --> 00:36:15,823
Good. But the top

1666
00:36:15,823 --> 00:36:16,698
priority is the

1667
00:36:16,698 --> 00:36:18,212
safety of our children.

1668
00:36:18,212 --> 00:36:19,724
I don't object to that.

1669
00:36:19,724 --> 00:36:21,042
I just want to know

1670
00:36:21,042 --> 00:36:21,784
what the numbers are.

1671
00:36:21,784 --> 00:36:23,046
But, Mr. President,

1672
00:36:23,046 --> 00:36:23,761
can I...

1673
00:36:23,761 --> 00:36:24,153
Yes... I

1674
00:36:24,153 --> 00:36:25,396
just want to clarify

1675
00:36:25,396 --> 00:36:26,739
for those watching. The

1676
00:36:26,739 --> 00:36:28,901
first part you

1677
00:36:28,901 --> 00:36:31,063
said is 284,000, Nick, right

1678
00:36:31,063 --> 00:36:32,775
? It's in the budget. We already

1679
00:36:32,775 --> 00:36:33,516
have it...

1680
00:36:33,516 --> 00:36:35,303
about 240,000.

1681
00:36:35,303 --> 00:36:38,508
We're already talking

1682
00:36:38,508 --> 00:36:39,337
about additional

1683
00:36:39,337 --> 00:36:40,108
costs.

1684
00:36:40,108 --> 00:36:41,244
Yes. So,

1685
00:36:41,244 --> 00:36:42,487
I just want to

1686
00:36:42,487 --> 00:36:43,489
make it very clear in this

1687
00:36:43,489 --> 00:36:44,630
discussion that we are not

1688
00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:45,942
adding $400,000

1689
00:36:45,942 --> 00:36:47,031
to the budget.

1690
00:36:47,031 --> 00:36:48,815
No, if we keep what

1691
00:36:48,815 --> 00:36:50,505
we have now and

1692
00:36:50,505 --> 00:36:52,242
add SROs, it would be

1693
00:36:52,242 --> 00:36:53,886
116,000. If we replace

1694
00:36:53,886 --> 00:36:55,107
two

1695
00:36:55,107 --> 00:36:57,328
security officers with SROs...
