Treat it as a starting point, not a verbatim record.] [0:02] Okay, it is 6 o'clock on Thursday, July 9th. I call into order the late Council District Board of Education meeting. We are meeting the District Office, but you know, seven normal comments, right? And there are no sprites. [0:17] Okay, I want to make sure that we acknowledge that we're going to leave it as our president. We're excusing her from the meeting this evening. First step on our agenda. We have a pledge of allegiance led by Travis Cameron and our inspirational thought. [0:31] what we shared about Kim Romero. [0:42] It's just to give the flag of the United States of America [0:46] and to do the very public for which it stands, [0:49] one nation under God, indivisible, [0:53] with the routine and justice for all. [1:10] What inspirational message I was going to share tonight. [1:14] I found myself thinking about, [1:16] it was about six years ago, [1:19] when the administrators at my district [1:23] that I just came from, we were studying about [1:27] cult good degree by Jim Collins. [1:30] And at that time our student outcomes [1:33] needed a lot of work to do. [1:35] And we knew that we needed to state it differently [1:38] about how we were looking at improvement [1:41] to support our students and our families. [1:44] And one question of course, one question of what we asked [1:47] and it really has stayed with me ever since, [1:50] is why do some organizations, or you can think about school districts, become truly great, [1:57] while others never make the leap? Collin's quoted greatness is not a function of circumstance. [2:05] Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice. [2:10] So when I think about our districts becoming a starting state shape, [2:15] we have such a unique opportunity to define who we are and who we will become. [2:21] Our future is determined by the discipline and thoughtful decisions that we make together over time [2:27] and the culture those decisions create. [2:30] And I was thinking about that during study session, how all of these decisions are being made [2:35] very, very thoughtful in support of the families and the students that we serve. [2:41] The board has the privilege and responsibility of making the first decisions that will [2:46] shape the district's foundation and those decisions will literally set the course and together [2:52] our cabinet, educator, staff, students, families, and community will shape the district that [2:57] we eventually become. [2:59] And so just in closing, I just really proud to be a part of this district and I know that [3:04] there's a lot of passion and a lot of hard work [3:07] that's going into creating a very special place [3:11] for our students at the Emily's. [3:13] That's my thoughts. [3:15] Thanks, Emily, appreciate that. [3:18] Do we have any community comments? [3:20] We do not. [3:21] So next up, we have our consent agenda. [3:25] I will entertain Emily's committee consent agenda. [3:38] I would like to work for a particular class agenda. [3:41] Okay, so we have a motion by member Chaucer to read a second. [3:46] A second by member Chaucer is a discussion. [3:52] Okay, see, then, all in favor, we're proving the consent agenda with a motion by member Chaucer. [3:57] A second by member Chaucer, please say aye. [4:00] Aye. [4:01] Any votes? [4:03] Any other questions to pass unanimously. [4:05] Next up, we have a discussion action. [4:07] I am, and you're excited to welcome Lucia Brown, who is the principal of A Tech West. [4:15] We've been on the job for a whopping nine days. [4:20] So we're excited to have you here, and I'm excited to have Lucia with us. [4:27] The security team out of the going through the process of coming up with a video name for our AT&T West facility is going to walk us through to a presentation. [4:39] Thank you, Muffin. [4:41] Perfect. [4:44] I see a little nervous. [4:45] You know I'm just involved with that. [4:46] I know it's like you did that with yourself. [4:48] That is good news. [4:51] Nope. [4:52] Never mind. [4:53] I spoke to you soon. [4:54] Kind of bad news. [5:01] Okay, cool. All right, so we're going to thank you for allowing me to come here [5:06] and present to you today. We had a lot of good conversations about [5:09] hanging in the view of, I guess we'll hold the new eights at west. [5:12] That's kind of what it's been referred to as. [5:16] We had a lot of good community input, a lot of good teachers and community members, [5:22] a lot of good collaboration and district leaderships, [5:24] how we know what to do since the timeline was a little bit shortened. [5:27] And that's what we're going to be. [5:29] So, let's jump right into it. First of all, I want to say thank you to the Lee Mountain Out [5:34] and School District Board of Education, District of Ancient Families, and the teachers who [5:38] were together to make a new post-secondary school of possibility. [5:42] Something that we're very excited about, including all the interns I keep on hearing about how [5:46] excited they are, and so that's a big deal. [5:50] So, the committee formation, this was our committee. We had eight different parents, and then [5:55] and me and Kim Romo as our ex officio officer. [6:00] We also had an SCC chair from Providence, [6:03] and I have a joint SCC with Providence coordinator [6:07] possible. [6:10] Here was our process. [6:11] So the survey was sent via the alerts [6:14] of email and text June 22nd and June 26th. [6:17] We tried to get everybody a week [6:19] to be able to respond and get to more reminders. [6:22] We had about 17 responses, 28 different name recommendations, [6:26] and then we have responses to both equal mountain and serotonous groups. [6:33] The committee meeting was July 6th, the one on Monday, and we followed the policy 168 as [6:42] outlined in the outline of how animals were eggs. [6:46] So here's the process. [6:47] So we established our norms and considerations, then we split up in two small groups. [6:52] We had eight members, besides me and Kim, and so we split up in groups of two. [6:58] After reviewing the legacy, who we want to be, what we want to be known as, then it encouraged [7:03] every group to come up with two to three names. [7:07] We came back to a whole committee, and that's when the fun began, and it was actually really [7:10] great. [7:11] We got a lot of really great names. [7:12] We got a step on a few, but we knew we had to narrow it down to three, so we got there. [7:17] And it was really great. [7:18] We had a really good discussion about what we want to be known and asked, and that was the [7:22] most exciting thing. [7:23] is, as a new school and a new building, what sort of lights [7:26] do we want to leave? [7:27] We'll get into that. [7:28] Or we'll leave here. [7:29] And we began discussions on mascots and colors. [7:31] We're going to get together again to go over mascots more. [7:35] But we did narrow it down to a few. [7:37] And you'll see that kind of place throughout the recommendation. [7:42] Our key naming consideration. [7:44] So we know that naming the school is rare. [7:46] And the naming of post-secondary school is even more rare. [7:49] I hope you can do that. [7:51] So we knew that this was a big deal. [7:52] And we took it seriously. [7:53] We consider the following. The outcome will ultimately influence generations of students, faculty, and community members. [8:00] We wanted to have a unique name. We didn't want to be named after the same as another school. [8:06] We wanted to represent the environment, culture, and the traditions that we had, and a name that the community can actually be excited about. [8:17] So a few of the ones that were not chosen. [8:19] So, um, 7-1 to stick with A-type west, I don't know what I want to know, that's right. [8:25] A-type west warriors, a lane side beast, um, the bolded one is my boat, so I think we can [8:31] all just be adults, even if that's the last one, I just move over. [8:34] Um, so it's a fiendic rising, they have me, and they have three mascots, the penis is the [8:39] unicorns anime race, so, I don't know if we need to continue the presentation, um, so there's [8:46] There's some other one's, herical name is really cool ideas, and it was nice to see what the community was kind of thinking about what their vision was. [8:55] Alright, so getting to our main recommendations, an alphabet for the first one is Beacon Hill. [9:03] Some mascots that we came up with that kind of go along out of the navigators, the pelicans, the otters. [9:11] We can heal, we want to be a light and partner with our interns to shine a light on different [9:16] opportunities, different things they can do, different directions they can go, and so [9:21] partnering with them to shine a light on their future is what we want it to be going for. [9:26] And then because of the beautiful hill that we're on with the new building, those two ideas [9:31] went together well. [9:34] Shout out to John Emmett, who taught me how to do AI in it, and that was fun today. [9:41] All right, our next one, Bridgepoint, so some of the mascots types of this and others [9:48] were the Trans-Asian Blazers, the Mountaineers and the Mustangs. [9:53] Bridgepoint, we see ourselves partnering with the interns to be a bridge from K-312 education [10:01] to the real world, to what we're doing outside, to jobs, to opportunities, to interests, and [10:08] We want to be in the bridge that allows them to be successful. [10:11] When they get to the other side, [10:13] we want them to be in that right teacher, [10:15] where they feel secure and ready to attack [10:17] whatever they decided to do. [10:19] And that includes looking at everything [10:21] from personal interest, leisure time, community resources. [10:25] This isn't just about jobs and job experience, [10:28] although that's definitely a priority. [10:30] It's also about how you can spend your downtime. [10:32] How are you going to contribute? [10:34] It's not all about us. [10:35] So, how are we going to contribute to our communities, and we feel that we're at the bridge to that, to that idea and step future. [10:44] So, looking at that, and then point, you know, top of that hill, we really like that hill, that's a big deal. [10:50] We're feeling good about it. [10:53] And then finally, by the way, on the pinnacle peak, nice littleeration there. [10:57] So, mascots with mountain climbers, they explore the hawks. [11:01] And we are the pinnacle of their time in will be the pinnacle of their time in like not from school district and we want them to maybe there to feel like they've reached the peak and they're ready to go on to their next adventure. [11:17] And feel just like this little person here and so excited. [11:20] So that was the third option that we came up with. [11:26] So, just a final thank you. We really do appreciate it. You're tired of this effort since [11:32] during a new school. As you know, the place where we are now is well used and it is well [11:39] loved and it is ready to be expanded upon. So thank you so much, though, because often [11:46] times transition schools kind of get like, doesn't happen, but we don't feel like that. [11:52] So thank you so much for taking the time and taking care of us, and we're excited for the future. [11:56] Thank you so much. [11:59] Thanks a little bit, so it's going to talk to you. [12:02] Okay. [12:02] So this is a discussion action item. [12:05] Do we have a motion regarding the reading name that you asked the ATAC last? [12:11] You have to make a motion and then we have a decision. [12:14] I just can't get a little bit better. [12:15] Just do whatever. [12:19] You can't get a little bit better. [12:22] I just can't get a little bit better. [12:22] I just can't get a little bit better. [12:23] Well, now I'm speechless. [12:28] You have those patterns. [12:30] I know. [12:31] I think we're exactly the whole real opening. [12:33] And now you guys are our couch, so. [12:35] So, [12:38] I'm curious, if you, I think we checked briefly before we can hill bridge coins, [12:48] kind of go east, school, campus, center, transition. [12:52] I think the main things to consider with that, I mean obviously it's up to the board. [12:57] I think the main thing to consider with whatever title we have after the name is we don't want to be known as [13:04] somewhere that adults are learning, somewhere we're learning job skills, so we're learning community resources and so something that's a little bit different than other entities within the district, but once again that's up to you guys so good luck. [13:30] Yeah, I think it originally stood for something else and it morphed a little bit from what [13:35] I know the answer. [13:36] So it used to be adult transition education center that had sort of alpine technical [13:42] education set by China, sort of flip-flop-line. [13:44] The [13:54] name of the new federal secondary [13:59] school, for any time. [14:03] Okay, so you have a motion by one member. [14:05] Is this going to be a second? [14:08] I'm going to second it. [14:09] Second, I've already worked on the key. [14:11] Okay. [14:12] Now we have a discussion. [14:16] Is the two main motions you want? [14:18] Are you ready to do that? [14:19] It stands out to me. [14:21] I love when you explain this part of the second word of the sentence. [14:26] I think it's in Kathleen's kind of division and the purpose of that school, so nicely. [14:36] Truthfully, the federal peak, bridge point, you know, a fantastic option to trust [14:44] is a tough one. [14:45] I mean, we made the motion to really start the discussion, but I'd love to hear your report, [14:50] members, be back. [14:54] I think there's no limit. [14:56] I mean, things have to be happening, the school is really hard, it's not- [15:00] The government is concerned, say, oh, is the meeting being done even after people? No, maybe after neighborhoods? And so it's just kind of really limited what you can do. And I think that you have found the perfect sweet spot of community very clearly the purpose of the school. That's really hard to do. So, congratulations to your candidate because that's hard to do. [15:32] I like that one more. But I think that we should give it this whole name. Not just for [15:38] a point. Like, if we're going to be full, we're going to be full, we're going to get you [15:41] better. So it's happening on us. So it's not key for all school. It's a whole secondary. [15:46] So there is a requirement in state code when you go to our like, like the state [15:53] these practices when we go to register in the school. [15:56] We actually have to select, but it's a vocation, [15:59] it's a transition education center. [16:02] So those are the categories in which the school, [16:04] like obviously we have elementary, we have middle, [16:07] we have high school, we have the post-secondary ed. [16:10] We actually on the forum and we're filling out, [16:12] we have to check specific boxes. [16:14] So we can leave it as just bridge point, [16:16] knowing that we have to check the box that is a transition [16:22] We can also add a moniker on it if we want to, but it's not necessary. [16:28] But will be designated in the state system as not a P12 school based on the box we're going to have. [16:35] That's correct. [16:35] That's the name. [16:36] Correct. [16:40] Well, absolutely. [16:41] That's the monitor. [16:43] Yes. [16:58] Thank you. [16:59] a lot. I don't know where to find it, but I think it's a great description of what the school [17:04] is and what it's going to look like. It's also just open as well. The bridge can be anything [17:08] right, you can be able to open with that. I'm just curious what the next step you can do. [17:12] You can pick the mascot as well as that. I do the school. How did the next step do that work? [17:16] So generally, what we've done in the past is that we select the name out of the three names. [17:23] Afterward this, because this is a little bit of a different situation where it's technically [17:26] the outside school. This will also go on the outside agenda to be approved on Tuesday through them. [17:33] Just like we have, you know, whether it's the 100-day curve, whether it's learning, or just looking up. [17:37] But just like we have an issue of things, and then asked outside to support us to know, it's the same situation, [17:44] just like they named this out, special schools recently. [17:49] So we go on the outside agenda, as far as the mask that I'm in colors, [17:53] that really goes back to the principal to make the final call. [17:58] If feedback, I would suggest, [18:01] Lucas, is not to repeat current math facts. [18:06] We have 24 schools. [18:08] So like all of us do an example, [18:10] honors, mustangs, and palliants, or are you covered? [18:14] Okay. [18:14] So sometimes we have ones that, for example, [18:17] we have harvest hops, [18:19] then the vista heights, black hops. [18:23] and then we have Thunderhawks and sea shells. So, we're not going to make a hawk. [18:34] What do you want to do with an ice-throw or sea? [18:37] Yes, with the ice-throw. [18:41] What do you have with the ice-throw or sea-throw? [18:43] It doesn't sky in the sea. [18:45] It looks like it's close but not the same. [18:48] Yeah, well, we'll do a nice overview. [18:51] And so, of course, you may start getting that stuff ready, too, for still struggling to [18:54] get your stuff ready. [18:55] Thank you guys for all the questions. [18:56] I just wanted to ask that. [18:57] Yeah. [18:58] Okay. [18:59] Um, we need to officially vote. [19:02] Yeah. [19:03] This was a really other discussion I wanted to tell you about y'all. [19:07] Okay. [19:08] So, we have a motion by board member. [19:10] I assume the second by board member. [19:12] Team that the reading of eight-time class, the name selected, is bridge point. [19:16] All in favor please say hi. [19:19] I am a host. [19:21] And if you're a space dancer, congratulations. [19:24] Thank you. [19:28] Okay, so next up for action items we have the MLU [19:32] regarding medical location. [19:35] Do we have emotion regarding this action item? [19:54] From Rikina Second Viber, [19:59] basically this is an MLU [20:01] that allows us a level of redundancy with our data centers. [20:05] So, um, it is a, make [20:10] sure that, you know, our data gets back to the case, there's a breach. [20:14] Brian may explain it a little better than I do, I just kind of, you know, that's it, right? [20:20] It's basically it. [20:21] Yeah. [20:21] Yeah, of course. [20:22] That's it. [20:22] That's the general guess of it. [20:24] I'm going to make sure we've got backup, some on backup, some on backup. [20:28] So, that's how this is. [20:34] Okay. [20:34] See, none. [20:35] Um, we have a motion to approve the MOU collocation with a, [20:39] The motion by board member Keen and the second by board member Schozer on the table, please say any votes. [20:46] I agree it's patchy honestly. [20:48] Next up, we have resolution 2026-009 vehicle resolution to be half motion. [20:59] I'm going to approve resolution 2026-009 vehicle for this position. [21:04] And then to be a second. [21:08] So we will motion by board member Keen [21:12] and the second by [21:17] board member Schozer on the table. [21:18] to ask me money in AAC and not dispose of any property without concurrence of all [21:24] the new districts. This is a vehicle for scanners that we like to dispose of [21:29] and so they need our approval to do that. [21:35] From resolution 2-026, stash years year 9 to be able for position with the motion by [21:40] partner objectives and second by partner saucer. All in favor please say hi. [21:45] I am a member of the board of staff. [21:50] Next up, we have policy series 4,000 personnel, [21:57] the outline school district personnel policies. [22:00] Do we have a motion? [22:03] I move that the board accepts the outline school district personnel [22:07] or zero zero zero policy series as late-time transition policies [22:14] adopted under Utah Code by 3G-3-308 through June 30th, 2021. [22:23] Second. [22:24] So, in the motion, I go to my board member, Meyers, [22:26] and in the second, I go to my board member, Shotser. [22:28] Any session. [22:31] So, all of this is going to smell a little bit. [22:33] One of the pieces of code for us, we wanted to be [22:35] referring to those are slits. [22:36] Is that all personnel policies, salaries, and benefits, [22:40] action remains for one year and post-slits. [22:42] So the official split date is July 1 of 2027, which means all of these policies of existence [22:52] and ASU regarding personnel are required by state code to continue to June 30 of 2028. [22:59] So we're essentially accepting the policies because they're already guaranteed to state code [23:06] to exist for a year. [23:08] So we're just accepting them as a group knowing that these ones cannot be altered for a year. [23:13] Did you have any questions about that? [23:15] I just know that this is the only series of policy required [23:19] to adopt in this paradigm. [23:21] Correct. [23:22] Which is why we have a very aggressive policy schedule coming up. [23:31] That's understandable. [23:33] The doctors are excited about the level of reading, [23:35] where are we doing, where are the nice people? [23:38] Okay, so we have a motion by a number of myers and a second by a number of shops are to set the outpains will lose your personnel 4,000 policy series as Lake Madison transition policy is adopted under Utah for 53-3-308-1-EI from June 30, 2028. [24:01] All in favor, please say any votes. [24:07] Okay, but here's how unanimously. [24:09] Next up is Superintendent Morgan reports. [24:12] We would invite Dr. Carter to come to voting. [24:19] So I will report it out on the more highest, [24:23] because that's what we do for our authors that we're giving. [24:26] We're to the point now where most of our administrators [24:29] have been appointed. [24:33] We did have worked well in from like that middle school, we had a new way to keep out at [24:40] Seattle High School, and now it's announced to survive, but these that I'm going to tell [24:45] you weren't announced because they usually just announced administrative positions. [24:50] So we have hired Jake McDonald as our print services logistics and distribution manager. [24:57] I'm pretty sure we're going to short-level a bit. [25:00] Jesse Williamson is our facility supervisor, Sean Johnson, [25:05] a World Transportation, [25:08] which serves as a screening provider to know [25:10] and purchase East Transportation, [25:12] so you know, [25:13] we'll be the activities, [25:15] such coordinator, [25:17] Russell Nickman, [25:19] we'll be the lead manager, [25:21] Nick K. White Hill, [25:22] we'll be the administrative assistant, [25:23] and I must now apologize to her. [25:27] In our Technology Department, they have completed all of the job offers that need to be made [25:32] and they will be improving their hiring in September. [25:37] We're really excited because our director of Technology Ryan will be able to join us [25:45] as full-time employee on September the 8th. [25:49] So we're really excited that I'll find this work for us [25:52] and he'll be able to come down and work with the other [25:54] technology directors to represent them. [26:00] Facilities will be interviewing for six for men on Monday. [26:07] Those are like the electrical department, [26:09] the round department, HFAT, and three others that are not [26:13] made even because they're not made. [26:16] They're higher range should be finished by the end of this month. [26:21] We should have our facilities hiring pretty much completed. [26:25] When it comes to your transportation, [26:28] we mentioned to Rita oven higher, [26:30] but I also want to put out on the bus drivers. [26:33] This is like such a great certificate. [26:37] We offer 53 contrasts to our bus drivers [26:41] in 52 is accepted. We are currently, we have the highest [26:49] exceptions rate and we're pretty happy about that. So we're pretty [26:52] full right now. They are going to offer humor contracts and all as they look at [26:58] the needs that we have in this transportation. [27:03] Also to report out on with [27:05] finger printing a lot of people have been asking especially HTA moms [27:12] are we filled out and we have our information back. It's been improved that we will be able to [27:19] transfer the fingerprinting records that are currently in offering school districts to Lake Mountain pretty seamlessly for all staff and volunteers. [27:33] So, like people ask you that question, the answer is we can do that. [27:37] and we're working on looking at how we continue that service to both our staff and our patrons [27:46] and also what we're looking at for that just so we'll be more information on that. [27:54] I'm super excited that I'm no longer the only full-time employee in the mountain. [27:59] We have Travis and Amanda. [28:01] that Amanda is used tonight. She is at another meeting that we'll try this year. And it's [28:09] really interesting in her voices. [28:13] It's crazy. Okay. I'm so excited. I just found a video about [28:19] it. And then finally, the AST employees that are currently working to help our school district [28:26] As we fire that up to work in Lake Mountain, we'll be working here on Tuesdays, starting this past Tuesday. [28:34] We all met together, and that will have been for the first quarter. [28:40] They can help us out in various areas. [28:42] So we met all together, we went over the vision and values that even have established. [28:48] And we'll share the goals when that happens. [28:50] and we were really excited about it and we were really excited to have them here. [28:55] So we didn't have a whole house on Tuesday, which is super exciting. [29:00] Starting the second quarter, we'll have another day. [29:05] And so I'm advocating for purposes, just making a little comment here. [29:10] Because that's our board meeting today, and I feel like that would be a good way to do it. [29:15] but she stays in there, stays in there, [29:16] and the third quarter will add a third day [29:18] and the fourth quarter will add a fourth day. [29:21] Knowing that, if we need to support all kinds of [29:24] lists or if the language she performed, [29:25] we will do that because I'll punish for our students, [29:29] so we want to take care of them. [29:31] And I think that's everything I have to support. [29:33] Thank you. [29:34] Thank you, Dr. Turner. [29:36] Okay, if it is time for more and more and more [29:38] and more and more to share information. [29:53] We're not ready to publicly announce the permission of the unit, but just, you know, [30:00] We had a day-long work session. We started the day at school. We got to see kids coming in, [30:09] be breakfast, visit a first and second-grade summer school program that was going on, [30:16] taxing summer school breakfast and other more like those programs. And then we got right, [30:22] right? That's the work. Talking with the mission of the minimum, and it was a really successful [30:27] day, it's hard to go into that space with that group and how this big expectation, [30:36] to set everything important on the last day, things to process, but it can't be we be [30:43] ready. [30:45] I don't think I'm listening, so just by way of ignoring that that happened more or less. [31:10] Okay, so we do not have need of slow discussion. [31:14] So do we have a motion to do during meeting? [31:22] I'm going to do it for the journal meeting. [31:24] Most of the work will start in a second. [31:31] The motion may work for the journal in a second way. [31:34] Where we're just going to say hi. [31:36] Hi. [31:36] Any votes? [31:38] Here, the meeting is officially adjourned at 631 again. [31:41] Thank you both for being here.
