right now and gravity in this situation

6
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:37,620
the meeting for guests and public

8
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:45,300
that's fine as well
but we're asking that you please the

9
00:00:42,809 --> 00:00:49,800
state and stand please and state your
name and address that way we know you're

10
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:53,190
in the district and because of respect
for others and the amount of people in

11
00:00:51,809 --> 00:01:00,149
the room we ask you to keep it between
three to five minutes that way everybody

12
00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:06,750
who has feels present some talents as
the opportunity to do so so as you can

13
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:15,689
see there is only one action item on the
agenda tonight we'll be hearing with

14
00:01:10,619 --> 00:01:23,460
that as we continue on so with that we
will open up or guests in public comment

15
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:28,979
also as well for any for respect of the
process and respect of any ideas that

16
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,189
may come forth we will not be responding
to any

17
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:42,630
with that Nouriel I also coach something
a third basketball my concern is getting

18
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:48,570
more money into the school so what I'd
like to propose - we have a few coaches

19
00:01:45,329 --> 00:01:52,920
that our staff and I say continue paying
those people but for the volunteer

20
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:56,990
coaches such as myself a couple others
that aren't staff you make that a

21
00:01:54,509 --> 00:02:00,360
voluntary position and you cut my pay I
wouldn't want to see pay to play for

22
00:01:59,009 --> 00:02:05,039
students because I know a lot of
students couldn't afford not if you can

23
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:10,860
see that I'm alright I was down to eight
kids four seven seven eight very

24
00:02:07,619 --> 00:02:16,920
passable sorry I had eight on these
eighth grade and five on the subway you

25
00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:23,069
take away that I'm dumb three four kids
or pay to play so I say make voluntary

26
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:30,120
positions as coaches that are not
standing so part of the entry staff

27
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:34,920
people in are getting paid that's eight
to twelve people right there there's

28
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:41,940
some extra money right there and then
also open the school on the summertime

29
00:02:37,049 --> 00:02:47,400
to have different courses because we
have the Cleo camp Cleo which is great

30
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:52,310
but open it up senior high through
junior high I'd spend a little bit more

31
00:02:49,859 --> 00:02:58,530
but do a culinary or arts course and
charge the parents with that I pay

32
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:02,910
daycare fifty five bucks a day per kid
I'd rather send my kid they were calling

33
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Eric's course for a day four we have a
lense on me because once I get to school

34
00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:09,060
once I get to college you move on to
apartment lot of kids only know how to

35
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,620
do the laundry
they make peanut butter and jellies and

36
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:20,700
that's it so make them culinary arts to
a small engines course do photography

37
00:03:17,569 --> 00:03:26,760
take advantage of resources that we have
area and it's time for the community to

38
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:32,970
step up and offer those types of things
as well I'm at the beginning stages of

39
00:03:30,629 --> 00:03:39,120
winemaking and I'd love to teach courses
Cathy pen does a lot of fitness stuff so

40
00:03:36,209 --> 00:03:44,610
I think as a community and a larger
audience is greater to Tiger she could

41
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:47,370
volunteer here time to do a class and
all the money that's brought in

42
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:51,540
twenty-five thirty-five dollars per
person donated to the school my wife

43
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:57,209
today
art class over in Bel Air shorts for one

44
00:03:54,510 --> 00:04:03,750
night for 35 bucks she said there was 20
to 30 people earning $1,000 a night in

45
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:12,920
there I us-ally caring help save a
position or two it's my father try to

46
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:12,920
figure out how I can increase my revenue

47
00:04:13,099 --> 00:04:22,770
now I'm not really smart on that leash
Margaret really when it comes to school

48
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:27,330
hours and all the things that but I do
understand like I belong here in this

49
00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:36,750
room but you can make $50 a week and
spend $75 a week and make that work on

50
00:04:30,510 --> 00:04:42,450
budget I just know for me I just cannot
see as continually cutting staff there

51
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:49,009
are teachers here out of the tenure
system use it and not in effect

52
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:53,509
I don't want to see anybody but I
certainly don't want to see anybody lose

53
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:59,949
their job especially when they already
cut some what's already already

54
00:04:55,189 --> 00:05:05,930
surrendered solution and so I think that
maybe I'm not offering a lot of ideas

55
00:05:03,729 --> 00:05:10,819
but I agree with everyone in the room
that's saying maybe just figure out how

56
00:05:07,729 --> 00:05:18,500
to get more money part of it is quite
cost but I think that's kind of easy

57
00:05:15,349 --> 00:05:22,419
that's the easy way you know that's kind
of an easy just absolutely just

58
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:35,360
eliminate something out there there's
but my niece Megan King and but I also

59
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:41,330
know that being out of school work
school isn't a business they're not able

60
00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:45,050
to just generate our that was the
business of you who are not doing

61
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:50,000
they're really creative and sell
something cheap but that's not going to

62
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:58,550
do it and our teachers our biggest asset
so I'm I just feel that this not I think

63
00:05:56,419 --> 00:06:05,770
it helps anything I think this is the
problem and that is not just a

64
00:06:02,419 --> 00:06:05,770
centralized problem

65
00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:12,620
teachers are under the spotlight and

66
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:27,720
paying for education is not a popular
right now I think that Senator Leyva's

67
00:06:25,770 --> 00:06:32,550
and almost all schools are suffering
food I think the school works done their

68
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:38,310
jobs we've done the best they have been
able to do firm position to make I can

69
00:06:34,890 --> 00:06:42,150
as someone that's spent a lot of time
with her as a student I just want to

70
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:48,240
inform the people that are making that
decision how much she does for school

71
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:54,540
she does so much for that much as well
in high school and goes above and beyond

72
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:59,160
what she has to do she does many jobs
that she doesn't get paid for that I

73
00:06:56,490 --> 00:07:02,820
know many students have a few that if
she's not there anymore no one's going

74
00:07:01,110 --> 00:07:06,660
to take off all those jobs and we're
going to lose a bunch of the activities

75
00:07:05,010 --> 00:07:13,560
that we don't love so much and that help
our school and that help our students

76
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:17,550
and also she not only does those jobs
but she goes out of her way to buy the

77
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:22,140
students that are involved in those and
just make sure they're okay and make

78
00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:27,570
sure that if they need any helping is at
home so I just want to encourage all the

79
00:07:25,260 --> 00:07:32,090
decisions to be made to not only look at
the job that should be paid or also all

80
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:42,800
and I've been listening to everything
and I only hear what we need to cut back

81
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:47,600
on spending and I don't hear anything
about how we can increase income and

82
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:53,840
something not wise I haven't heard
anything about today is something called

83
00:07:50,000 --> 00:08:02,350
pay to play I attended a different
school the same class as our school that

84
00:07:58,450 --> 00:08:08,270
did pay to play off their Iowa's in
volleyball basketball track everything

85
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:13,340
from middle school to my freshman year
at the school and it was alleviating

86
00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:19,610
when I came here to be able to not have
to pay for it but I do think that with

87
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:24,350
the amount of kids at our school that do
sports and do like all these other

88
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:33,100
activities I do think that would be a
great start for like increasing our

89
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,100
income instead of cutting back and so

90
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,090
some information with you last week on
the things that I do in your district

91
00:08:45,140 --> 00:08:58,350
hopefully to make a difference with
students leadership opportunities

92
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:13,590
guidance whatever whatever it might be
that came to mind after I left here

93
00:09:05,330 --> 00:09:19,370
again four years ago I was asked if I
would take the PE position and I said

94
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:27,420
well whatever was best for the school
and so prairies are like a computer and

95
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:34,290
library that's available with more
formal type not a teacher not computers

96
00:09:32,370 --> 00:09:44,430
teacher in the non only certified
teacher in science or in fact each other

97
00:09:36,210 --> 00:09:48,870
I created the curriculum for computers
based on the state standards because

98
00:09:46,830 --> 00:09:54,450
there was a long and that's what was
just shared with you program that I've

99
00:09:51,660 --> 00:10:00,480
put together are to make sure that our
students were getting a good education

100
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:07,830
any opportunity aren't adorn the blue
stool that offered at which quite

101
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:12,690
frankly I think pretty awesome that our
kids are functioning especially with I'm

102
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:17,130
staff and so narrow it's having to take
tests on computer starting in third

103
00:10:15,330 --> 00:10:26,640
grade and state
have some access over to that and we

104
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:36,000
talked about the evaluations and and
such and I am highly effective where I

105
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:39,180
rank in the numbers again I want to go
back to the fact that I'm teaching

106
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:47,070
something I wasn't certified to teach
but got my scores I've continually gone

107
00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:49,640
love teaching PE in computers and be
highly effective
