1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,360
District office, I see Christina, so our union leadership are, again, I think we can invite them to this conversation as a part of it, and certainly are nurses into this. And so, I know no one wants to spend. I think we're on the same page. We'll maybe have less. It's like, I think it's trying to figure out where do we want to go from this. And if we need further information to make some decisions, we can, you can elicit that feedback.

2
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:31,420
Okay. It's not a free call. I guess it's just like,

3
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:37,220
trying to be clear. So if people want, I did turn off comment.

4
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,920
And so that is, that

5
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,940
is not present in this because I felt like if we're going to have this, it should be

6
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:48,820
done in the, our phone, our conversation should be not be done in the comment section.

7
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,480
Right. So you see the comment section is not available this evening?

8
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,140
You could, I'm just

9
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:02,560
Just trying to make sure I have all the board members here.

10
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,140
They're here.

11
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:06,240
Yeah, they're all here.

12
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:06,680
Okay.

13
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:08,100
I need to not be here right now.

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,340
You can be here.

15
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:11,380
Okay.

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,140
This is open.

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,780
It is open.

18
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:14,340
It's just around not having.

19
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:16,740
It's just a lot around who's.

20
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:20,020
Who's actively going to participate in this at this.

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640
And again, we'll start with our board and then we'll invite others in as appropriate.

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,220
it. And maybe I can, if it's Julianna, again, I think I have some background just the current

23
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,260
metrics I'll give you, and then we can go from there.

24
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:42,480
All right. I'm going to go ahead and call us to order. And please let the role reflect

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:51,500
that all board members are in attendance this evening. And we only have one. I don't even,

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,300
I didn't even look to see if we had an agenda. I'll be really honest. I just realized one

27
00:01:55,300 --> 00:02:06,780
topic. Yeah so tonight we are just discussing the you know ready safe schools and and what our district

28
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:17,860
is going to do moving forward. Did I get that right. And looking at county metrics and all

29
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:23,940
of those things for staying open and reopening and CDL and all of that good stuff and I just wanted

30
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:30,300
to reiterate some people I know sent emails and letters prior to the board

31
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:34,580
meeting. We really appreciate everybody's thoughts and feedback and it's not

32
00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:40,140
that I don't want to hear them tonight. It just we have heard a lot and then it

33
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:46,200
ends up getting pretty late and this was a sort of a last-minute meeting and so I

34
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,160
also want to be mindful that not everybody will have heard about it and if we take a

35
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,200
lot of public comment that feels odd to me because we haven't put that out there that

36
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,160
we're looking for that kind of feedback to the community.

37
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,840
So we do appreciate everyone being here and we probably will be asking for some specific

38
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:18,580
information from schools and or administrators and other people as we go on.

39
00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:23,960
but so Kevin I'm going to go ahead and let you just kind of start and I would like to talk about

40
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:33,900
sort of the since we met last time the governor has had a new directive which will affect us and which

41
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,420
maybe is is a little more unclear than I would like it to be.

42
00:03:43,850 --> 00:03:49,650
Well let's start with and so again we did have just this meeting specifically to talk about this

43
00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:56,770
And I think for everyone to be clear, the reason we're doing that, it was to give it enough time.

44
00:03:56,950 --> 00:04:01,810
And I think in our board meetings, we have a set agenda. We have been adding COVID.

45
00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:08,990
We felt like at the time that where we created the agenda, we have gone over this

46
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:14,430
numerous times. And we prior, we didn't feel like there was a lot more new news.

47
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:17,930
We had been trending in a poor direction for a while.

48
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:22,910
And so it didn't felt like, hey, as long as nothing significant changes, but then the case

49
00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:23,970
can't continue to climb.

50
00:04:24,270 --> 00:04:30,430
And so I think it's warranted this conversation tonight to really give this adequate time

51
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:32,970
in the board meeting rather than kind of rushing through it.

52
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:38,250
So let me start by, let's just review our current situation.

53
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:42,330
So this is the metric.

54
00:04:42,330 --> 00:04:55,930
So this is what the we this is kind of my main place that I go up. This is the Oregon Health Authority and what they provide advisory metrics for returning to in person instruction through onsite or hybrid model.

55
00:04:57,050 --> 00:05:13,970
We are considered a large county and so the 30,000 or more I think our county is about 60,000 as a whole and so we are considered a large county and so how you read this is there's on the far side you talk about metrics and models and they have different

56
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:24,090
different things for the different sizes for you and so when you are a large county we are looking at case rate and we are looking at

57
00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:31,510
Again, these different models for being on-site, on-site with hybrid, elementary, or distance

58
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:31,950
learning.

59
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:38,910
The case count is for small and medium counties, so they're looking at, they can look

60
00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:42,030
at a case count, and that's why you see that, so that really doesn't apply to us.

61
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:47,470
Hest positivity is for medium and large, so we are looking at test positivity as also a metric

62
00:05:47,470 --> 00:05:48,430
that we're looking for.

63
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:52,110
And then this instructional model is sort of the advice.

64
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:58,430
I have read this part before because you're going to see where we are in just a second in this distance.

65
00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:03,510
But when trends are increasing, yes, that's true, which where we are,

66
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:08,610
pause expansion of additional in-person learning and maintain access to in-person learning for those who have it.

67
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:15,190
Schools are not advised to reduce in-person learning or revert to comprehensive distance learning based on metrics.

68
00:06:15,190 --> 00:06:20,090
If the school can demonstrate the limit transmission in the school environment.

69
00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:25,090
So I guess I just wanted to, that is part of what's in our ODE and OHA guidance.

70
00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:29,570
So here's the most recent, and again, I'll just kind of, kind of, before you just look

71
00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:34,390
at COOS, if you look at the recommendations, so this is, again, based on that number and

72
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:41,270
you'll see the last calendar, this, you know, the 221 to 36 is the most recent data.

73
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:51,830
that's till Monday. Every counting, there's COOS, which is distance learning, 238. That equates

74
00:06:51,830 --> 00:07:00,290
to a 366 per 100,000 and then our test positivity at 10%. You can see over the last three 14-day

75
00:07:00,290 --> 00:07:06,970
lookbacks, those numbers steadily increasing, all three of these, case counts of increase,

76
00:07:11,250 --> 00:07:11,250
case

77
00:07:11,250 --> 00:07:23,140
If you look at the rest of the date, you will notice we are the only county that is in this

78
00:07:23,140 --> 00:07:30,320
situation. So why are we having this conversation in Kus County and nowhere else is because there

79
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:36,260
is nobody else that is in this metric right now of distance learning. So if you were wondering like

80
00:07:36,260 --> 00:07:38,120
Like, why is this?

81
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,860
That is the reason.

82
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,820
So with that being said, that's where we certainly kind of currently are with our numbers.

83
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,740
I invited our nurses to be here to kind of just give you like where are we at with schools and our principals maybe can weigh in on this.

84
00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:02,040
I'll just start by saying we are currently investigating a case at the middle school middle school student.

85
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:05,760
And the potential impact on a cohort.

86
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:28,900
And so we are currently, we haven't announced that because one of the things in our protocol is we are trying to be sensitive to those directly impacted by these situations and they deserve to be told face to face that they were in direct contact or they were exposed and they're going to hear that from our nurses Shannon Kelly or the school personnel.

87
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:51,760
And so we're going to make those phone calls before they have to read an email and not know and so we kind of hold on that information get all that done that all that notification will occur before the kids arrive or the kids will be stopped at the gates per say like before they get on the bus off the bus before they enter the building.

88
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:58,760
they will be stopped and quarantined and potentially sent home if we can hold

89
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,840
of them if they are in this case. So that's one that we're currently dealing

90
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,980
with. So again, we're not. When we kind of go to this question of schools that

91
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:15,960
are not to, you know, are we in this idea of transmission? I will say is again

92
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,480
this was a case that was not the kid did not get this from the school. So

93
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:33,800
So an outside source, the transmission is not occurring within the school and our school is going to take action to stop the transmission which may impact cohorts or staff that's just to be to be determined.

94
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:45,500
So I'll ask if kind of our schools maybe it's Shannon and Kelly can start just a quick update on the are there any other students cohorts staff members are they both on here.

95
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:52,120
I have a probably a little bit information. Kelly, I see Kelly. Are you prepared to give that update? I know I saw you walk in.

96
00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:57,350
Can you share your screen?

97
00:09:59,070 --> 00:10:05,970
I sent you a little table of the current, the questions you asked for.

98
00:10:06,390 --> 00:10:15,230
So today we have not documented any student to student transmission in our schools. Can you guys hear me?

99
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:27,830
Okay. Including today. So as of today, at this moment, we have nine students at North

100
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:33,370
Bay either out with COVID or quarantine for direct exposure. They know positive students.

101
00:10:33,510 --> 00:10:39,670
We have no positive students at North Bay. Hillcrest, there's four out. Same kind of deal.

102
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:44,250
There are either any of those positive. One positive. One positive. And the rest are quarantine

103
00:10:44,250 --> 00:10:51,450
for direct contact. The middle school, I have 13. They are changed

104
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:56,130
today. I think I have

105
00:10:56,130 --> 00:11:03,910
three positive and then 10 are direct contact. And at the high school, there's two out today

106
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:12,910
that are quarantined. You can see the rest of this. This is not an unusual day. I mean, it's not

107
00:11:12,910 --> 00:11:18,130
unusual that we have some out more at the schools that have more kids.

108
00:11:20,970 --> 00:11:23,370
We have two staff out today

109
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:31,090
at Hillcrest. The plus side is that now we're having more staff. For the first time, we have staff

110
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:36,370
that are two plus two. So that means they've had two vaccinations and two weeks since their last

111
00:11:36,370 --> 00:11:42,730
vaccination and the CDC says without symptoms that that that adult doesn't have to quarantine.

112
00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:48,230
So what happens when this happens is if they were here we might send home the cohort that was

113
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:54,150
involved but then once we can do this tracing that we then send on to the health department

114
00:11:54,910 --> 00:11:57,810
we can tell them you can safely come back to work tomorrow.

115
00:11:58,390 --> 00:12:00,330
Are our high school staff back?

116
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:01,790
No, not yet.

117
00:12:03,250 --> 00:12:05,750
So there are two more staff on this.

118
00:12:07,090 --> 00:12:11,690
Oh, I said I added them. I don't see them on there. Yeah, it should say two under high school.

119
00:12:12,170 --> 00:12:15,470
200 high school to a hillcress. That's where I needed to save it before I sent it.

120
00:12:15,570 --> 00:12:17,910
But there's two at the high school and two at hillcress.

121
00:12:18,370 --> 00:12:21,590
Okay, that's what I just want to make sure that we what we're looking at is accurate.

122
00:12:22,050 --> 00:12:25,910
Is this include what I just talked about tonight or that's not quite been factored in yet?

123
00:12:26,590 --> 00:12:27,310
Yeah, it does.

124
00:12:27,310 --> 00:12:34,520
The one that the most current because we haven't talked since then is there still investigation ongoing to figure that out?

125
00:12:35,950 --> 00:12:37,630
We're almost done.

126
00:12:38,510 --> 00:12:44,290
I guess my question is are is there going to be a middle school cohort sent home?

127
00:12:45,610 --> 00:12:47,150
We're almost done.

128
00:12:48,830 --> 00:12:49,830
There is not.

129
00:12:49,830 --> 00:13:14,400
And I'll tell you why it's because definitively, we can say that the teaching was done with everyone in a mask, six feet apart, and it's all those things that are in place in the schools that we can definitively say we're not getting transmission.

130
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,820
And the truth is, if we weren't doing it, when we had seven to eight come back, this is a week out,

131
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:24,060
we would have had that two to five day incubation period. If we weren't being effective,

132
00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:27,820
we would be having a ton of these. So far, each of these

133
00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:35,340
positives in students have been easily documented to come from a setting outside school.

134
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:43,360
The last thing I'll say, and then I'll pass back over to you, Juliana, is the governor's message

135
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:51,140
that came out we met on Thursday and she had an announcement on Friday calling for all of our

136
00:13:51,140 --> 00:14:00,300
students to return in the state by on the week of April 19th and it's so a staggered corn

137
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:06,880
of entry. The only relevant date to us is probably the April 19th for students in six to twelve.

138
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Obviously we have six to eight already present and we have K-5 already present so really we're

139
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,480
talking about 9 through 12 and the latest date that she's put out there, April 19th. I think

140
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,520
when you're in Cooce County and you get this, you would be like, why are we doing this? But

141
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,260
if you just saw the data and you see every other district, you saw all the green districts,

142
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:33,520
you saw everybody else is not in the red. You can see why there's some optimism across the state

143
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,660
and really that a push from our governor and the rest of the folks saying, get kids back to school.

144
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:47,660
and so I just that was clear. I also know on here is it says that the week of the 19th and then

145
00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:55,120
there's also the little caveat in here that was like that you can look at your own situation

146
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,840
And so it was still, we know that there, I think she

147
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,980
I recognize that there's still a couple counties that we're out. And so again, you can still look at your individual, where I'm just looking at where the, because there's,

148
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:33,280
it said, Oregon, OHA and ODE must also review Oregon's advisory metrics for school and revise those metrics to make clear that hybrid or in person instruction is the primary instructional model for school districts, unless extreme rates of community transmission of COVID-19

149
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,140
to make comprehensive distance learning necessary.

150
00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:39,440
So again, that's sort of the, even in this,

151
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,800
there's a little bit of an out

152
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,100
if there's a documented extreme transmission

153
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,300
of COVID-19 happening in our community.

154
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:50,580
And again, I maybe looked at others to make that judgment.

155
00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:56,190
All right, so that is all I would have to say kind of

156
00:15:56,190 --> 00:15:57,990
in terms of a warm up to this conversation.

157
00:15:58,690 --> 00:15:59,870
There's our current situation.

158
00:15:59,870 --> 00:16:05,450
I have one question, and I'm hoping, Eric, maybe you can answer it.

159
00:16:06,070 --> 00:16:12,130
It's our understanding that if people travel to Coos County for their medical care, and

160
00:16:12,130 --> 00:16:17,670
they end up getting COVID tested, that it reports in Coos County as if they're positive.

161
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:18,690
Is that accurate?

162
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:24,970
It's based on your address.

163
00:16:25,510 --> 00:16:29,150
So if you don't live in Coos County, it wouldn't be a Coos County case.

164
00:16:29,930 --> 00:16:33,370
Because that's not the information that we've gotten from the state.

165
00:16:33,370 --> 00:16:39,950
The information we got was that where the diagnosis is made, where it's reported, it reports

166
00:16:39,950 --> 00:16:40,950
in that county.

167
00:16:41,270 --> 00:16:47,190
And I'm not saying we don't have positives here, I'm just saying there are a lot of people

168
00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:54,290
that come from down the coast for their medical care that that data might be represented in

169
00:16:54,290 --> 00:16:56,550
our county data versus their county data.

170
00:16:58,980 --> 00:16:59,000
Okay.

171
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Well, we've had people that get tested in other states and it comes back to our attached

172
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,760
our numbers. We've had them tested in other counties that come back to our numbers.

173
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:11,080
It's based on your home resident.

174
00:17:11,860 --> 00:17:12,940
Good clarification.

175
00:17:15,540 --> 00:17:16,680
All right, Juliana, back to you.

176
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:24,960
All right. Any other questions from board members or anything on that?

177
00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:33,100
I'd say if you looked at the numbers today, we would be somewhere over 380 per 100,000

178
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:36,900
based on our two weeks active cases for today.

179
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,380
We had 27 cases since yesterday.

180
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:45,100
So we definitely aren't slowing down anytime soon at this point.

181
00:17:52,670 --> 00:17:54,810
So just a recap of where we are.

182
00:17:55,370 --> 00:17:58,590
We have K-5 in hybrid right now.

183
00:17:59,810 --> 00:18:04,830
And K-3 have been there pretty much since the beginning,

184
00:18:04,830 --> 00:18:17,530
other than those random cohort quarantines and middle school started, I

185
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:21,790
apologize for not knowing this, where is the middle school on are all six

186
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:28,230
seventh and eighth back or are we still in the middle of that? John Wade you

187
00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:31,890
want to talk about just kind of where middle school is and I know we started a

188
00:18:31,890 --> 00:18:35,530
a little bit rough with 6th grade but they are all back and this

189
00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:40,520
is our 5th week having

190
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,980
6th graders and 2nd week with 7th and 8th graders.

191
00:19:00,770 --> 00:19:02,150
Julie and I can ask a question.

192
00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:03,650
Yes, absolutely.

193
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:08,190
I'm not sure who to even know us as to but I'm assuming or maybe I'm not assuming correctly.

194
00:19:08,730 --> 00:19:13,310
All of the teachers who wanted the vaccine have had that opportunity correct.

195
00:19:14,430 --> 00:19:15,170
That is correct.

196
00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:15,850
That is correct.

197
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:16,150
Okay.

198
00:19:16,270 --> 00:19:16,890
I just want to make sure.

199
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:17,570
Not just teachers.

200
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:18,250
I mean this staff.

201
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:19,190
I'm sorry.

202
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:27,190
teachers and staff. Features staff, and I don't know, you might not have heard this, but even our athletic officials all were offered

203
00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:35,890
vaccinations. So anyone kind of associated with schools at this point, including our bus drivers have all been offered the ability to get a vaccination.

204
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:48,630
We're not tracking the percentage. Someone else could venture to guess on what that might be. I've heard somewhere in the 50 to 60% of our staff have been vaccinated, but that would just be a number pulled out of the air.

205
00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:51,870
Okay, but they've had the opportunity, they've been given the opportunity.

206
00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:52,830
Correct.

207
00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:53,450
Okay.

208
00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:59,470
The only data I have regarding that's from January but 52% of the staff said they were

209
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:03,790
going to get it, the shot immediately, 35.8% wanted to wait.

210
00:20:03,970 --> 00:20:10,810
I think some of them have been vaccinated since and it was only 12.6% who said they would

211
00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:11,690
not get it.

212
00:20:11,810 --> 00:20:11,910
Okay.

213
00:20:12,370 --> 00:20:12,810
Thank you.

214
00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:16,870
So, your staff is ready on all levels to continue working.

215
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:18,870
I have not heard from any of my members

216
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:21,290
that they would not be willing to report to the buildings.

217
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,650
I did just have someone share with me though

218
00:20:24,650 --> 00:20:27,990
that the Student Voice Committee for the High School met today

219
00:20:27,990 --> 00:20:30,690
and that some of the students on that team

220
00:20:30,690 --> 00:20:32,990
were expressing reservations about returning

221
00:20:32,990 --> 00:20:34,490
with the county levels this time.

222
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:36,570
Thank you.

223
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Eric, I'm going to put you on the spot.

224
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,160
I want to tap out and go to your other board meeting.

225
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:55,540
You have no way of knowing maybe this even above the rest of us, but I'm going to ask it

226
00:20:55,540 --> 00:21:02,100
just in case because we're looking at for the high school is at least a few weeks out

227
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:03,340
at this point anyway, right?

228
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,640
Even best case scenario because we're not planning until at least the end of March would be the

229
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,420
earliest which still puts us a few weeks.

230
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Is there any positive signs that we could be trending down?

231
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,140
And then no, okay.

232
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:24,580
Not at this current projection.

233
00:21:25,540 --> 00:21:28,760
We've beat our record every month for the last three months.

234
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,800
And we have no signs that indicate that we're going to stop that this month.

235
00:21:36,580 --> 00:21:40,140
We are for the first time in Oregon's history number one.

236
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:53,840
We are seeing fairly large numbers daily, so I wouldn't be optimistic that we're going

237
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,600
to be moving anywhere in the right direction this month, but maybe hopefully next month.

238
00:21:58,140 --> 00:22:01,100
And a lot of that has to do with vaccines as many as we can get out.

239
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,680
And there's a lot of people doing a lot of stupid stuff, I mean, there's a lot of people

240
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:13,320
going to group gatherings and not listening to preventative guidelines so and until we can find a

241
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,300
way to come together to make those a priority. I don't really see our numbers going down.

242
00:22:18,620 --> 00:22:22,340
You're talking about community those whole right Eric not

243
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:27,940
specific school transmission. No community at all. Well we haven't seen any school transmission

244
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:34,660
right and not fairly well documented. I don't know that could change once we bring some of

245
00:22:34,660 --> 00:22:41,000
older kids in. I think that could change once we bring some of like the high school kids in,

246
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:46,720
but for the most part it's been the parents' activities that have impacted the children more than

247
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,300
anything else.

248
00:22:51,820 --> 00:22:56,680
Do we happen to have any mental health specialists or behavioral support staff

249
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,800
on the call tonight?

250
00:23:03,130 --> 00:23:06,330
Kevin, I know that you mentioned that we are only wanting, I think you said we are

251
00:23:06,330 --> 00:23:10,850
only wanting our nurses to be able to speak, but I'd like to give opportunity to any of those

252
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:16,730
staff who might have a different perspective on the tool that this has taken for

253
00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:23,110
students of emotional mental. Yeah I think Robert and Ty Lee are both on

254
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:29,210
this call and Crystal so I would there's three people that probably have a

255
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:32,570
little bit of insight into this. Thank you.

256
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,760
I think that's your invitation to join

257
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,040
us.

258
00:23:39,950 --> 00:23:48,110
Sure, I'll turn my hi everybody. My name is Tyler in case my eight letters on the bottom seem

259
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:57,050
really weird. Most letters are silent. So, earlier, Christina had said that someone from the student

260
00:23:57,050 --> 00:24:03,350
voice team meeting had stated that there were some reservations. I run that, so I run our student

261
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:12,670
the high school and I have been sitting with them for several weeks now once a week on Tuesdays

262
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:19,630
and it has changed over the last couple of months in the beginning. They were really excited

263
00:24:19,630 --> 00:24:23,950
about coming back because they thought it was going to be normal and they could sit in the squad and

264
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:29,310
hang out with their friends and then as they realized what it was going to look like when they came

265
00:24:29,310 --> 00:24:34,190
back. Their thought process is kind of changed and we have talked a lot about the mental health and

266
00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:41,890
where they're at. A lot of our students are just really frustrated because they just want an

267
00:24:41,890 --> 00:24:47,990
answer. Either we stay home or we go to school because the back and forth has been what they have

268
00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:55,670
stated has been the hardest on their mental health of the not knowing. And right now they're

269
00:24:56,490 --> 00:25:01,630
incredibly frustrated with the numbers as I think the rest of us are. I think it's

270
00:25:01,630 --> 00:25:06,250
really important to have kids in school. I think there are a lot of students who

271
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:10,830
really need that. And how they want student in particular had stated, I don't

272
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:15,050
even really need to talk to anybody. I just want to be around somebody.

273
00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:17,750
The

274
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:23,290
bulk of the other students are stating that they will not be returning to

275
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:29,470
high school if we reopen. They will be staying home. They think that they're doing okay and they

276
00:25:29,470 --> 00:25:34,530
rather see our numbers go down before they come back because the thought process of coming back

277
00:25:34,530 --> 00:25:46,590
with how higher numbers are scares them more than if they were lower. So I think it's a hit or miss

278
00:25:46,590 --> 00:25:51,650
with our students right now. We're not, I think some of our students really need to be back and I

279
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:55,370
that a lot of those students are able to be in our building for the limited

280
00:25:55,370 --> 00:26:04,110
person, and that has helped tremendously for them. But I think for mental

281
00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:11,350
health purposes, a lot of the kids I've talked to go both ways. It's hard to

282
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:16,130
state, I guess, is what I'm saying, is that most of the students I've talked to are

283
00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:23,090
content with being online until the numbers are down. But that's not everybody.

284
00:26:23,410 --> 00:26:28,170
That's just the majority I've spoken to. So close with my two cents I guess.

285
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:36,930
Charlie, can I ask you a clarifying question? Just to make sure I understand these are all high school students that you're talking to.

286
00:26:36,990 --> 00:26:45,710
Yes, I'm sorry. I'm one of the high school counselors. Yeah, okay. And are these are these are these kids who are also doing

287
00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:52,930
are they all just, do you talk to them just online individually or how do you communicate with these kids?

288
00:26:53,390 --> 00:26:58,810
So part of it is with student voice, and that's grades 9 through 12. It's a very eclectic group.

289
00:26:59,890 --> 00:27:04,090
I mean, these are kids that I wouldn't see together at the watch table necessarily.

290
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:10,790
And they come from all different backgrounds. Some of them have 504's IEPs, some of them are athletes.

291
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:16,930
I also do more one-on-one basis, like either with phone or through Zoom and have those conversations with these kids.

292
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:20,830
It's also conversations with parents about how their kids are doing.

293
00:27:22,190 --> 00:27:26,530
And a lot of time it's after talking with parents, we get them into the limited in person.

294
00:27:27,550 --> 00:27:29,930
And I see a big change from that.

295
00:27:30,210 --> 00:27:36,510
Or if that is not working, where there's a conversation with our Bridges program that has been really monumental for a lot of our students.

296
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:40,190
and that has tremendously helped them as well.

297
00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:45,770
So, I mean, I guess I talked to them in different ways,

298
00:27:46,010 --> 00:27:47,830
but they are students from all grade levels,

299
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:50,090
nine to 12, and different walks of life, so.

300
00:27:50,690 --> 00:27:53,450
Okay, so they're all different academic levels as well.

301
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:55,270
Some are doing fine academically,

302
00:27:55,450 --> 00:27:57,230
some are struggling, it's just all right.

303
00:27:57,950 --> 00:27:58,050
Okay.

304
00:27:59,150 --> 00:28:01,970
Rob, I know our other two high school counselors are,

305
00:28:02,210 --> 00:28:03,650
I think are on here, Rob, Crystal,

306
00:28:03,650 --> 00:28:07,350
So are you available to pop in and give us a little perspective?

307
00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:11,150
Yeah, I can jump in.

308
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:20,650
Sorry, I mean, I've been hearing a lot from parents,

309
00:28:21,410 --> 00:28:23,750
just to get that kind of perspective out there,

310
00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:28,430
is they've seen a lot of noticeable behavior changes

311
00:28:28,430 --> 00:28:30,690
with their students on with draw well,

312
00:28:30,690 --> 00:28:35,550
So just not engaging like they normally would,

313
00:28:36,290 --> 00:28:38,970
tough to get out of bed in the morning and so on.

314
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:43,350
So that's a lot of what I've been coming from parents.

315
00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:48,350
And I think those students that kind of do come back

316
00:28:48,350 --> 00:28:49,670
on a hybrid in person,

317
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:53,610
I think the priority is just that connectedness again

318
00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:56,150
of just seeing people.

319
00:28:56,330 --> 00:28:59,710
I know it's a very artificial environment

320
00:28:59,710 --> 00:29:06,810
that they'd be coming back into, but I think that that that connection of just being in the classroom

321
00:29:06,810 --> 00:29:14,350
just seeing life people around them. I think that's a big deal. That's that's just kind of what I'm

322
00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:20,710
hearing just to give you a kind of a parent perspective out there. And Crystal is our counselor

323
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:21,730
or bridges.

324
00:29:24,610 --> 00:29:28,330
Yeah, so my experience is kind of the opposite

325
00:29:28,330 --> 00:29:29,510
of what Kylie was saying.

326
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:32,030
I'm over at Bridges, so we're the all set program.

327
00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:35,810
We have 39 students right now who are doing in person

328
00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:38,410
Monday through Thursday, for three hours.

329
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:41,110
Both of those are two different cohorts.

330
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:44,010
We have a 19 person cohort and a 20 person cohort.

331
00:29:45,210 --> 00:29:46,610
And those students are flourishing.

332
00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:48,530
They're really the only ones that we're seeing

333
00:29:48,530 --> 00:29:51,430
a lot of positive transport.

334
00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:59,970
So we've seen a lot of success with the in-person and not very much success with the virtual for our group of students. But again, that's the all.

335
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:27,860
That environment. So most of our students struggled in a standard learning environment. So when you throw them into that alternative education and you give them the opportunity to be in person versus online, they're going to be better. I would say I agree with what Rob said also with a lot of the parents making statements about student struggling to get out of bed. We definitely have a lot of parents that are struggling with that for the remainder of our students who are not in person. We have about.

336
00:30:28,980 --> 00:30:34,380
25 other students that are not in person and those students we don't see as much success

337
00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:39,560
in terms of getting credits completed and and passing their classes, but we do have

338
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,120
a few students who have made it manageable in that environment, but the flexibility

339
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,000
that we offer in our program is also another piece that helps with some of this success.

340
00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:55,240
So I would say for our student body being in person is super important, but I also understand

341
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,980
and highly prospective with the student voice,

342
00:30:57,220 --> 00:31:00,560
there are a number of students who find success

343
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
in the virtual and understand their concerns

344
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,940
with coming back to you.

345
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,800
So before you go, I have a quick question.

346
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,900
The 25 students you have who are not in person at all.

347
00:31:18,380 --> 00:31:20,540
See, is there an opportunity,

348
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,680
if let's say the high school went back to a hybrid model,

349
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:26,540
is would they come back?

350
00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:33,020
I'm just wondering why they're not in person now and that they all come back and

351
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:37,100
Is there a room and how would that work?

352
00:31:38,380 --> 00:31:41,800
So we do not anticipate those students coming back

353
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:48,700
They actually are out for a variety of reasons many of them are providing you know child care for siblings or

354
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:53,680
Perhaps they are working and their work schedule does not align with the schedule at the high school

355
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,040
so they're doing classes through us because we're a little bit more flexible with meetings.

356
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,960
And then we also have a couple of students who don't live where we can give them transportation.

357
00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:06,680
They live out of the area and their parents no longer have the ability to give them transportation

358
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,860
so they can't get to the school. So those are the hurdles that we've seen. But for most part,

359
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:20,820
those students are pretty successful. A handful of them would benefit by us going back hybrid but not necessarily

360
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:30,800
So there have been conversations I'm sure there have but I'm just wondering if we have any kind of plans.

361
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:39,400
So they can't come back for whatever you know various reasons that they have or that it would be very difficult for them.

362
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:46,680
But it sounds like they're also maybe not being successful in the traditional CDL that we have.

363
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,680
What's our plan for them, like is there, is there more things that we could do for those

364
00:32:52,680 --> 00:33:02,320
students I'm wondering that would be alternative, alternatives, just not that we have to focus

365
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,180
on that tonight because that's not where we're going, but I just want to make sure we're

366
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:12,420
talking about the hybrid model and the CDL model and trying to capture as many kids as we

367
00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:18,600
can and do what's right for them. But there are going to be students who are going to

368
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:25,140
fall outside of that, both of them. So it would be great if we could sort of focus on that.

369
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:31,940
As much as we can, I know we are limited and we can't do everything, but long term, long term,

370
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,500
yes. I mean, I'm having, I have a meeting scheduled with an alternative U.S. A.Y.A.

371
00:33:40,380 --> 00:33:46,760
He's offering some GD, we're not a GD site, he's offering some GD classes and GD pathways for kids.

372
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,000
It's trying to do some other alternative ed things that we might partner with.

373
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,480
So I mean, I think we're open to lots of different options to support kids who.

374
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,740
It's going to take us a while to get back.

375
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Just kind of pull some kids back on track.

376
00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:08,480
Bridges is going to be a key because it is that is a program that we are trying to design around the needs of kids and flexibility.

377
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,040
and serving the kid versus the kid fitting into the system, right?

378
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:18,540
It's like the kind of system mold and figure out a way to serve you as an individual.

379
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,880
That doesn't necessarily mean it's like the kid that wants to work a 40 hour work schedule

380
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,020
and then come to night school.

381
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,340
I'm not sure we're going to be able to pull that one off, but so there's a little give

382
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:29,840
and take that we'll be working with some kids.

383
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,100
But right now they're kind of looking at making money for their family as

384
00:34:33,460 --> 00:34:37,600
while they can and doing some of this is more important than some of their schooling right now.

385
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,920
I, can I speak a little bit to that would that be okay? This is Darrell.

386
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:43,600
Thanks.

387
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:49,700
Yeah, we actually, we do have a third tier of intervention. So bridges is really like

388
00:34:49,700 --> 00:34:54,680
a second tier intervention for the kids that where the regular high school hasn't been

389
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,720
a place where they could have an adequate degree of success. And then we've got a third

390
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:04,220
tier of kids who bridges in and of itself as a structure that doesn't work for them. And

391
00:35:04,220 --> 00:35:07,880
And we've got a handful of them that we're working with on individual learning plans.

392
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:15,880
And some of these kids have 504, some of IEPs, but more are just kids who like Kivens

393
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,140
noted.

394
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,160
These are kids that are working 40 hours a week, a lot of them are older, some of them are

395
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,300
the single bread earner for their families.

396
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:33,920
And so we're being creative, I've got teachers that are being creative hats off to our

397
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:40,140
Our special ed director for helping us come up with some ideas with the Pacific House that we could

398
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:43,360
Help those students earn some some more credits

399
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:49,280
So we've got kids tonight at the Pacific House making house plans for math credits

400
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,880
So we've got a third tier for those kids who who can't meet the bridges

401
00:35:53,980 --> 00:35:56,680
Expectations or the general high school expectations

402
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:04,440
One of the things that I think we're talking about this. I think I see our conversation more towards

403
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,460
just so everyone, I don't see this group making a decision about elementary

404
00:36:09,460 --> 00:36:14,140
middle school. I think if you were to saw, you saw some letters forth and

405
00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:18,120
fifth graders so excited to be there. We know some kids in both elementary

406
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,140
middle school do not want to be on campus. They have provided an online option.

407
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:27,780
That still exists. They are still, we're not forcing kids into a hybrid. The same

408
00:36:27,780 --> 00:36:31,000
thing exists for the high school. But I think our conversation at this particular

409
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
at a moment is about expanding to high school on March 29th.

410
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:39,780
And is there, or is there some other, obviously,

411
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:43,040
we have the governor's directive with the caveat,

412
00:36:43,340 --> 00:36:45,360
began April 19th as a date that's out there.

413
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:47,880
So I mean, in the end, I don't think we necessarily need

414
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,680
to talk about elementary middle school

415
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,500
about returning to CDL.

416
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,860
I don't hear an interest in that.

417
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:56,300
You haven't really gotten much feedback that was support that.

418
00:36:57,140 --> 00:37:04,060
you might have, I think, Dr. Gleason may be supportive of that, partly from my health perspective,

419
00:37:05,060 --> 00:37:09,200
and I understand, and I fully understand that, and again, I want this to stop spreading

420
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,920
in our community, and that by just sending everyone back to CDL would certainly send a strong message,

421
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:18,020
but that would come at a cost to a lot of kids and families.

422
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,800
Let me, let me be clear, I have a kindergarten and a fourth grader. I don't want them in my house.

423
00:37:27,630 --> 00:37:40,730
if they can be if they can be at their school, that's what I would want them to do. I think kind of echoing what you said, Kevin, the we've got to stop over at like, this is kind of I think we're good.

424
00:37:41,130 --> 00:37:46,950
Let's maintain what we've got now, but any progression forward makes no sense in these numbers.

425
00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:47,190
numbers.

426
00:37:47,710 --> 00:37:52,170
These numbers start moving down, we start moving back out of extreme, then it's a conversation

427
00:37:52,170 --> 00:37:57,030
where you're like, okay, we can get to that point where the governor wants us to be.

428
00:37:57,330 --> 00:37:58,550
Is it going to be by April 19th?

429
00:37:58,870 --> 00:38:03,710
I honestly, I would hope against hope that that is the case, because I'm really tired of answering

430
00:38:03,710 --> 00:38:04,530
all of these questions.

431
00:38:05,330 --> 00:38:10,710
But I think at this point, it would be prudent to say the pause needs to be set, and

432
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:13,730
then we watch the numbers before we start moving anywhere else.

433
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:17,640
But my kids are still going to school.

434
00:38:19,020 --> 00:38:20,880
So then I think that kind of reiterates.

435
00:38:20,940 --> 00:38:23,760
And even from your perspective, we're talking about high school.

436
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:25,940
And do we bring high school kids back?

437
00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:30,700
So I guess we can just start with that conversation about what?

438
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,960
Again, we have the date scheduled right now is March 29th.

439
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,840
We're always doing a 14 day look back.

440
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,600
You know, are we looking at the data from the Monday before that?

441
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,400
So the March 22nd is that the next date?

442
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:50,220
Are we going to give people a week's notice or is it we just don't see it happening and we're going to kick that now

443
00:38:50,220 --> 00:38:52,340
So I guess that's a conversation first

444
00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:55,380
And then there's probably one other thing to talk about

445
00:39:00,410 --> 00:39:07,510
Could I get either mr. Johnson or somebody to talk about the dates of the micro terms so that we're all kind of

446
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:12,390
Because I know that's the March 29th date, right is the yeah

447
00:39:12,970 --> 00:39:18,970
So March 29th is the start of our fifth micro term these are six week terms and the next micro term

448
00:39:20,690 --> 00:39:25,970
May 7th. Tiffany did you had something to add to this as well?

449
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:33,050
Well, I'm curious. One of the pieces that I learned from our regional curriculum meeting is that

450
00:39:33,050 --> 00:39:39,390
Marshall and North Bend are the only two high schools in our county, not back, in some form out with

451
00:39:39,390 --> 00:39:46,090
kids in person. And so I was curious if Eric has heard or maybe Kelly has heard, have our other

452
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:51,590
local high schools like band and co-kill murder point have they seen an uptick with student

453
00:39:53,290 --> 00:40:00,530
cases with them being back over these last three to six weeks. And then I guess the other

454
00:40:00,530 --> 00:40:06,770
piece from that is I do worry if we get to a we're going to get to a point where it's not going to

455
00:40:06,770 --> 00:40:12,290
make sense to bring kids back. And then we're going to be in the fall struggling with these same pieces

456
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:29,430
of, are we half time? Are we full time? How do we bring these kids back? And I think at some point, we have to go through the hard struggle in order to make it work for students and staff so that we can better plan for the fall. And so that that is a worry I have, but I am curious about the other high schools if we've seen anything.

457
00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:32,170
Stem from them coming back.

458
00:40:35,410 --> 00:40:39,130
I haven't been made aware of any from my side of the house.

459
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:43,710
Is the reason they're back is just because of the size of those schools.

460
00:40:43,790 --> 00:40:46,130
I mean, they're back because they were just, they're small.

461
00:40:48,860 --> 00:40:51,880
I know powers has been all along because they're so tiny.

462
00:40:52,340 --> 00:40:56,580
But they, I think they are coming back in a hybrid model as well as my understanding.

463
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,100
And I know co-kill high school is not catering to the online pieces, really.

464
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,140
So I think that's a huge benefit that our staff's willing to help support.

465
00:41:05,140 --> 00:41:10,440
both in-person and online. I have heard from two staff members who are also

466
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,540
parents that are very good. Their kids are both doing academically very well,

467
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:21,240
but they feel very strongly similar to what Robin Crystal said.

468
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:23,920
Children

469
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,580
having choices to come back, the two options is better than right now they have no

470
00:41:28,580 --> 00:41:33,740
choice. Online is their only choice. That was another factor they had shared.

471
00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:43,630
I see Kelly has her hand up. Are you good, Juliana with Kelly?

472
00:41:45,110 --> 00:41:45,590
Yeah.

473
00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:46,310
Yeah.

474
00:41:47,050 --> 00:41:51,570
I talked to the nurse from Coquillo last week, and I agree with Kevin as the small members.

475
00:41:52,330 --> 00:41:59,210
Her administration described their return as a raging success, and she was very busy with

476
00:41:59,210 --> 00:42:00,230
cohort screening.

477
00:42:00,970 --> 00:42:05,590
But I don't, she wasn't at the table, like she said she wasn't involved in any of the decisions

478
00:42:05,590 --> 00:42:11,590
of who they're going to bring back or what or when or who testing and she has is required

479
00:42:11,590 --> 00:42:16,690
to do testing. So I think small numbers. I heard last weekend from the principal at

480
00:42:16,690 --> 00:42:23,390
bandin, really positive stuff, but I didn't ask a number of positives. They don't have nursing

481
00:42:23,390 --> 00:42:30,330
services in bandin. They contract with ESD and they do specific kids support for kids with

482
00:42:30,330 --> 00:42:32,030
diabetes, do you do that kind of thing?

483
00:42:32,390 --> 00:42:35,030
So I don't have solid data for you from Benden.

484
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:39,740
Yeah, I think with the size of North Bend and Marshall,

485
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:43,460
that's a completely different piece to be.

486
00:42:43,580 --> 00:42:45,300
And I mean, powers had to open up their high school

487
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:46,480
because of K through five.

488
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,640
I don't even know that they really

489
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:51,520
have much of an option.

490
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,260
There's only like the two schools out there, right?

491
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,000
So I think for North Bend and Kusbe,

492
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,860
I mean, you look at the sheer number of students

493
00:42:58,860 --> 00:42:59,380
that we have.

494
00:43:02,060 --> 00:43:05,880
Just statistically speaking, it's going to be probably harder on us than most other places.

495
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:08,020
And I don't really feel like Bandin had much of an option.

496
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,340
They felt like the city kind of said, this is what's going to happen whether they like

497
00:43:12,340 --> 00:43:12,780
it or not.

498
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:20,880
Brookings Harbor reopened in, he was mid-November, and they had a pretty significant outbreak

499
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,200
there where they had, I don't know if there was a community spread, but I know that they had

500
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,860
enough people that had to quarantine that they had to shut down.

501
00:43:27,860 --> 00:43:32,420
I don't think that would necessarily apply to us, though, because we're getting, as

502
00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:36,540
Nurse Kelly said, the two plus two folk, the people who are vaccinated and won't need

503
00:43:36,540 --> 00:43:37,060
to quarantine.

504
00:43:47,350 --> 00:43:49,150
Tyler Lee, I'll go ahead.

505
00:43:49,950 --> 00:43:55,590
So right now, just for my understanding, right now, we're able to support this hybrid model

506
00:43:55,590 --> 00:44:00,110
within the middle school and everything where we can have those kids come back who want

507
00:44:00,110 --> 00:44:04,390
to come back and then the kids who don't want to come back, but the parents don't want

508
00:44:04,390 --> 00:44:07,690
and to come back, we are still providing that online option.

509
00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:11,450
So that way, if they choose to do that, then that's OK.

510
00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:14,010
And so from my understanding, we will

511
00:44:14,010 --> 00:44:16,350
be able to support that at the high school.

512
00:44:16,350 --> 00:44:17,690
Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

513
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:23,300
If we come back on that March 29, we

514
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:26,400
can support the in-person hybrid side of things

515
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,320
and then also the online.

516
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:28,420
Is that right, Mr. Johnson?

517
00:44:28,980 --> 00:44:31,780
Yes, we're teaching dual class, dual modalities

518
00:44:31,780 --> 00:44:32,940
in almost every class.

519
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:33,900
OK.

520
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,540
Tell me, do you want to add to that?

521
00:44:40,610 --> 00:44:41,770
Yeah, if that's okay.

522
00:44:42,730 --> 00:44:47,210
I think part of what I've heard from the students who are going to be saying online,

523
00:44:47,570 --> 00:44:55,410
if we come back or not during a stay CDL, is their concern is figuring out when they can communicate with their teachers.

524
00:44:56,170 --> 00:44:59,850
And I think that that would have to be part of our planning.

525
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,680
Is figuring out what that's going to look like because with our teachers teaching in the AM and the PM, there's no longer that afternoon where students can have that communication with their teachers because they're going to be in the classroom. So they're going to have the middle of the day to talk, but that is a big concern from many, many students that have communicated with me about coming back and saying online. And so I would be that's one of my concerns as well as making sure that our students are able to communicate with our teachers in a timely manner, just because

526
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:36,600
they are going to be teaching both in the AM and the PM and there isn't going to be that afternoon where they can have that phone call soon.

527
00:45:36,740 --> 00:45:39,060
One on one with their teachers, so.

528
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:45,040
Since the middle school has gone through that, do we have a solution for that at the middle school right now?

529
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:46,040
Maybe.

530
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:56,600
Does anyone know Mr. Lester, you know, if we have a solution for that at the middle school right now on being able to contact teachers if they're if you're at home with their teaching.

531
00:45:58,950 --> 00:46:11,370
We have lessons that are recorded, so for example, kids that are in person that have been quarantined, they can still engage from home with their recorded lessons once every 24 hours.

532
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:20,030
We're in the process of setting up open tutor sessions, actually with the help of the high school, national honor society students.

533
00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:23,830
But yeah, that's not enough time to go around.

534
00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:28,590
Our CDL portion is working as smoothly as it has.

535
00:46:29,050 --> 00:46:32,490
This entire time that kids are absent, that are in person.

536
00:46:33,250 --> 00:46:35,170
I have to stay home for two full weeks.

537
00:46:35,490 --> 00:46:38,310
It's been a challenge, but we've been able to fill that out.

538
00:46:38,810 --> 00:46:41,730
I mean, I think one of the questions that you're asking here is,

539
00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:46,810
is our CDL program diminished by the returning middle school kids into it?

540
00:46:46,810 --> 00:46:52,990
So the kid was, we've heard the benefit of kids return you, but is our CDL taking a hit by this?

541
00:46:54,930 --> 00:46:57,850
Yes. Yep. Yep. That's the question. You're right.

542
00:46:59,270 --> 00:47:04,910
At the high school, it will take a hit when we come back in person. Right now, we're able to do

543
00:47:04,910 --> 00:47:09,790
teacher-facilitated through the morning with applied learning and teacher contacts in the afternoon.

544
00:47:10,250 --> 00:47:15,710
That will go away once we come back in person as the teachers will be teaching in person classes

545
00:47:15,710 --> 00:47:17,630
is both in the morning and the afternoon.

546
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:27,500
What's really challenging here is we're bringing him back

547
00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:29,420
because we need the social emotional.

548
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,260
That's the missing component of a brick

549
00:47:33,260 --> 00:47:35,560
and mortar high school, middle school elementary, right?

550
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,560
It's the relationships, it's the connection,

551
00:47:37,860 --> 00:47:39,200
it's the doing stuff in school.

552
00:47:40,500 --> 00:47:42,120
And so for kids not doing that,

553
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,820
our teachers end up

554
00:47:45,820 --> 00:47:48,340
starting to focus more on social emotional during that time

555
00:47:48,340 --> 00:47:49,500
here when they got kids present.

556
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:55,520
but yeah, it's a challenge then for them to be sort of split into, you know, multiple pieces

557
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,740
here. So it's, there's no easy, this is no easy route. I can tell you that our staff are going

558
00:48:00,740 --> 00:48:01,160
to struggle.

559
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,860
Okay, Kevin, can I speak to what Spencer was asking to for the middle school as far as

560
00:48:09,860 --> 00:48:17,020
the CDL kids being able to contact their teachers? Because the way the schedule is set up where the PM

561
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:22,480
kids come Monday afternoon. The teachers have Monday mornings also. They're doing their prep,

562
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,020
they're doing their staff meetings, and that can be a time that those CDL kids can contact

563
00:48:27,020 --> 00:48:34,040
with their teachers. And then the AM folks, those students are coming Tuesday mornings through Friday,

564
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,920
so there's also a little bit of time on Friday afternoons for that. And also we have,

565
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,480
you know, we have a built-in prep and lunch and cleaning period in the middle of the day from like

566
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:53,360
1120 to 105. So, you know, they may be able to answer a few emails to those CDL students, too.

567
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,540
So they're figuring out a way to connect with those kids.

568
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:03,320
Okay. Good. Before we brought the medical school back, we called a bunch of parents

569
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,580
naming else and we figured out what maybe that percentage would be of who's all who was planning

570
00:49:08,580 --> 00:49:14,260
on coming back, who was planning on staying on CDL. Have we run any scenarios like that as

571
00:49:14,260 --> 00:49:25,560
If we were to open up on March 29th, which right now is what we're, you know, the next current date that we're looking at, if we were to do that, do we have a percentage on how many high school would actually come back?

572
00:49:28,110 --> 00:49:35,390
We have not done any surveys to see if there's been any changes since we had 38% said they would remain online.

573
00:49:36,590 --> 00:49:40,730
Okay, and when was that? I'm trying to remember when that was done.

574
00:49:40,730 --> 00:49:47,490
Yeah, that was that was in January. That was about a third week of January. Okay. Okay. Okay. Has there been any

575
00:49:47,490 --> 00:49:55,090
study event group of people who wanted to stay at home to determine whether or not they are like mostly seniors, mostly

576
00:49:55,090 --> 00:50:00,830
freshman, if it's mixed of every grade, just wondering if seniors thinking in terms of, you know, I've got senioritis,

577
00:50:01,350 --> 00:50:06,490
why go back for two months at this point? You know, I don't want to say it senioritis.

578
00:50:07,470 --> 00:50:11,750
But definitely the seniors are a heavier percentage of those that have moved on.

579
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:14,430
In fact, I'd say it's the opposite of senioritis.

580
00:50:14,990 --> 00:50:18,770
What's happened is so many more of those kids and hats off to Kevin for

581
00:50:19,690 --> 00:50:22,070
giving him a little grace on expanded options.

582
00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:24,310
You know, we've got more kids and expanded options.

583
00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:26,570
We've got more kids working.

584
00:50:27,350 --> 00:50:30,490
I mean, there, these are, this is a busy generation.

585
00:50:31,510 --> 00:50:32,810
This is an amazing group of kids.

586
00:50:32,810 --> 00:50:36,910
And, you know, some of the younger grades, I know there's more of a problem getting

587
00:50:36,910 --> 00:50:39,630
a motivated because they don't have some of those other opportunities.

588
00:50:40,090 --> 00:50:45,750
Our seniors are absolutely on the move working, going to school, and the reason they're

589
00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:50,770
coming back is that they are the reason that so many of them aren't coming back for the seniors

590
00:50:50,770 --> 00:50:54,430
is because they have so many other things going on in their lives right now.

591
00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:57,950
That's not necessarily the same for the other grades.

592
00:50:57,950 --> 00:51:02,990
and the percentage of kids staying online does shrink as we go down to the

593
00:51:02,990 --> 00:51:07,750
freshmen. So we're going from like 40, I think it was 48% of the seniors down to

594
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:09,050
28% of the freshmen.

595
00:51:17,710 --> 00:51:21,930
And so March 29th is this next date for the micro term

596
00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:26,330
and then when was the next following one? May 7th.

597
00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:27,950
May 7th.

598
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:38,600
Just to be clear, May 7th is the last day of the fifth micro term. So that's

599
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,820
the end. The beginning would be what the tent. Okay.

600
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,660
So Kevin, if I were to put you on the spot.

601
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:06,100
And ask your recommendation.

602
00:52:09,650 --> 00:52:10,410
I want

603
00:52:12,710 --> 00:52:15,650
to hold on to our March 29th date. We're 20 days away from

604
00:52:15,650 --> 00:52:22,930
that. This is a 14 day rolling average. And so if you look back at some of these metrics over the course

605
00:52:22,930 --> 00:52:29,250
of two kind of periods. They have changed this metric. I know I know it's not looking

606
00:52:29,250 --> 00:52:33,370
at that promising. I mean usually look at today it's not looking great so I don't know I like

607
00:52:33,370 --> 00:52:37,870
to hold on to that date. I know that's also frustrating because I don't will people be really

608
00:52:37,870 --> 00:52:42,790
frustrated if I just say on you know on March 22nd they get a message that says you thought you're

609
00:52:42,790 --> 00:52:48,690
coming back on Monday. Oh no so sorry now it's going to be whatever April whatever.

610
00:52:51,130 --> 00:53:01,470
So again, I want to hang on to that date and I'm also, I'm so tired of kind of pulling the rug out from our kids. It's just, it's, I don't know what to do with this.

611
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:06,110
So I don't know. I mean, I'm not really answering your question. I would say leave K8 alone.

612
00:53:06,490 --> 00:53:23,370
Let's we're doing okay. We'll deal with them on a school by school basis in cooperation with the health department if we can't run school based on staffing too many kids out we're spreading it in the school trust me I will be the first one to recommend we we send kids to CDL and we will do that overnight.

613
00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:29,990
High school, I don't know what the right thing to do is there's a group of kids that need to be in school.

614
00:53:31,270 --> 00:53:31,790
and

615
00:53:34,450 --> 00:53:40,710
we're not serving them will by opening do we serve them I don't I don't I don't know there's no

616
00:53:40,710 --> 00:53:47,230
grid there's no perfect answer in this one I'm pretty sure of that. I agree and it's really

617
00:53:47,230 --> 00:53:54,970
difficult and I didn't didn't expect you to have the perfect answer it's just um other board members

618
00:53:54,970 --> 00:54:01,010
thoughts um I also do want to continue with sports as we're doing them I know mics on this call

619
00:54:02,290 --> 00:54:04,690
We've had success since season one.

620
00:54:05,250 --> 00:54:07,890
The stuff that we're doing right now is all outdoors.

621
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:13,070
Where volleyball is pretty much cancelled in our county at this point.

622
00:54:13,470 --> 00:54:14,310
So unfortunately.

623
00:54:16,270 --> 00:54:19,570
Can I throw something in there?

624
00:54:20,170 --> 00:54:22,390
And I don't know whether this makes a difference or not.

625
00:54:22,530 --> 00:54:28,990
But during season one and so far this start of season two.

626
00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:32,490
I mean, our students are involved in athletics

627
00:54:32,490 --> 00:54:36,410
have had literally thousands of student contacts

628
00:54:36,410 --> 00:54:37,850
with other students.

629
00:54:38,030 --> 00:54:39,030
I mean, they just, they have.

630
00:54:39,810 --> 00:54:45,830
I don't know of a single case at the high school.

631
00:54:46,130 --> 00:54:47,730
And I don't know of any at the middle school.

632
00:54:48,090 --> 00:54:49,530
I'm not as aware there.

633
00:54:49,670 --> 00:54:52,410
But I don't know of a single case of student transmission

634
00:54:52,410 --> 00:54:57,630
among our athletes at the high school, which gives me faith.

635
00:54:57,630 --> 00:55:05,650
And I think our coaches are diligent about washing hands about, you know, trying to social distance, about wear and mask.

636
00:55:07,850 --> 00:55:19,010
It gets me faith that if we do things right, that we're not just going to blow up into, you know, 50 kids getting coated here.

637
00:55:19,010 --> 00:55:30,730
So I know that's a different perspective. A lot of stuff is outside. We do have, I mean, right now we have I'm looking out out in the gym. We have six kids in the gym right now with coach.

638
00:55:31,550 --> 00:55:36,770
We're going to play actually. We're going to play volleyball outside starting next week.

639
00:55:38,190 --> 00:55:40,310
as long as the weather holds out,

640
00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:43,830
but we've been able to do it.

641
00:55:43,830 --> 00:55:46,010
And I think it's partly because our coaches have been

642
00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:49,930
not perfect, but we're trying to be perfect.

643
00:55:50,130 --> 00:55:54,030
And so I'd like to have faith that our folks

644
00:55:54,030 --> 00:56:00,370
are, if we do things right, that we can avoid something bad.

645
00:56:08,330 --> 00:56:12,870
So I'll do the first board perspective

646
00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:19,470
and then everybody can either chastise me or agree.

647
00:56:20,290 --> 00:56:21,470
Well, nothing but two.

648
00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:28,330
So my thoughts and my feelings are in the same with Kevin on the K-8

649
00:56:28,330 --> 00:56:30,090
that we don't touch that.

650
00:56:30,370 --> 00:56:33,670
I think that we have great protocols in place.

651
00:56:33,930 --> 00:56:35,530
Things are moving forward in the right direction.

652
00:56:38,110 --> 00:56:40,910
And unlike Eric, I actually have four kids

653
00:56:40,910 --> 00:56:42,950
that I want to make sure I keep out of my house.

654
00:56:46,030 --> 00:56:49,590
And I've been able to see them grow and develop

655
00:56:49,590 --> 00:56:56,230
with that hybrid model. And from that perspective, I've been able to see them change for the positive,

656
00:56:56,570 --> 00:57:03,110
mental attitude side of things. And I think because of the districts and all the staff

657
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,470
being very diligent in every way that they can to make sure we're wearing masks, we are socially

658
00:57:08,470 --> 00:57:14,630
this then seeing we're doing all this things. I actually personally feel that the March 29th date

659
00:57:15,250 --> 00:57:21,510
that we should stick with that date and we should get kids back and hybrid on March 29th. That's my

660
00:57:22,150 --> 00:57:28,850
that is my perspective um and that's that's how that's how I feel so I

661
00:57:32,460 --> 00:57:34,620
sure that bring the kids back

662
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:37,680
I agree with that.

663
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,340
I'm with I'm with Spencer.

664
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:45,020
I agree that we still forge with the 29th,

665
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:46,860
but I hate to say it.

666
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,120
I mean, with our numbers increasing and all that stuff,

667
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,120
it is scary to say what it's going to be like in by the 22nd.

668
00:57:53,340 --> 00:57:56,500
So, I mean, we're going to have to just play by your,

669
00:57:56,580 --> 00:57:57,400
I guess, to that point.

670
00:58:04,030 --> 00:58:06,270
I don't have a problem with keeping that date.

671
00:58:06,270 --> 00:58:11,410
I guess, and I'm very pleased that there haven't that are staff

672
00:58:11,410 --> 00:58:14,910
and teachers and everybody has done so well in the schools.

673
00:58:15,710 --> 00:58:18,370
I think it's the community, and this may get me in trouble,

674
00:58:18,370 --> 00:58:20,890
but I think the community needs to step up

675
00:58:20,890 --> 00:58:22,290
if they want their kids in school.

676
00:58:22,770 --> 00:58:24,470
They need to start acting like it.

677
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:29,910
And take, you know, don't keep doing this stuff.

678
00:58:31,530 --> 00:58:34,650
So I think we can hold on to that date.

679
00:58:35,370 --> 00:58:38,630
I don't know what the magic number that will scare us to death

680
00:58:38,630 --> 00:58:39,650
and shut it down.

681
00:58:39,950 --> 00:58:40,750
I don't know what that is.

682
00:58:40,750 --> 00:58:46,270
I mean, in these ones we have an hour kind of scary that I'm willing to hang on to that

683
00:58:46,270 --> 00:58:47,550
date at least at this point.

684
00:58:47,910 --> 00:58:48,130
I

685
00:58:53,060 --> 00:58:57,540
think the high school staff will be really happy to hear that we've had a lot of trouble

686
00:58:57,540 --> 00:59:01,660
with staff morale this year and part of it's because we can't plan stuff long-term.

687
00:59:02,820 --> 00:59:04,520
And it, you know, it's hard.

688
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:07,040
I already purchased some supplies for a lab.

689
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:12,020
I was planning to do the first week back and it's good that I get to use those.

690
00:59:15,150 --> 00:59:22,470
I think the only thing that would really change my mind on that is if we started seeing significant amounts of student to student transmission.

691
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:30,870
That's what I was just going to add my PS2, exactly that. If it does hit the school hard, I mean obviously we have no choice. We have to close it down.

692
00:59:30,870 --> 00:59:45,050
But, all right. We'll be watching staff too. I mean, obviously, we, you know, the high school. We don't have a lot of substitute these days. And so we're not going to be able to run very easily without.

693
00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:50,510
I know Darrell's working on a plan around, you know, if anyone's sick, if that's what, how is he going to run?

694
00:59:51,070 --> 00:59:54,970
And what's their plans around that? Again, we'll probably do some things where kids are not.

695
00:59:54,970 --> 00:59:59,550
I don't know he'll have to tell me his plan because that's a huge factor he's got

696
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Mayday is to figure it out, so, but that's a factor and a spread of illness between our staff will have an impact on us being able to open.

697
01:00:11,620 --> 01:00:32,060
I think it does, it does help the new directive that if someone has been fully vaccinated, they do not have to quarantine that that will help those staffing levels at least on that end. In terms of losing people to that, because I know that I've known that's impacted schools.

698
01:00:32,060 --> 01:00:37,900
not necessarily just here, but just from teachers I know around to, they've had

699
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:42,280
to quarantine because something happens, right? And then everything is messed up.

700
01:00:44,260 --> 01:00:47,800
Sorry, Kevin. Would it be okay for me to ask a question?

701
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,860
Sure. So go ahead.

702
01:00:51,340 --> 01:00:57,060
Okay, thank you. I'm curious. I imagine I know the middle school students are

703
01:00:57,060 --> 01:01:01,540
writing with elementary kids. I imagine the high school students will also

704
01:01:01,540 --> 01:01:03,100
We'll also be writing in those same buses.

705
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:14,280
I'm just concerned that if we start having co-hurt shutting down that that'll impact the

706
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:19,140
lower level schools going into quarantine if they're writing the same buses, et cetera,

707
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,380
because those buses are getting a little full.

708
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,460
That's my only concern.

709
01:01:24,780 --> 01:01:29,120
I told you kids back as soon as possible, I just worry that it will have a negative impact

710
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:34,340
if we see more cases and more shutdowns on our other great levels.

711
01:01:34,940 --> 01:01:37,060
That's a really good question. Thank you for asking.

712
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:44,260
I wonder if it's like, can we, again, encouraging those just only ride the bus if you need to?

713
01:01:44,420 --> 01:01:49,100
Can you find other alternatives during this time period so that we have the less spread potentially?

714
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,440
I know there are some kids. You're even living lakeside and you don't have a way in.

715
01:01:52,740 --> 01:01:55,920
Like, you need to get on the bus, but it might be easier for us to send a couple buses

716
01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:02,400
if we had available out there, spread kids out and not some of our other internal. I don't know.

717
01:02:02,460 --> 01:02:06,900
It's something for Darryl messaging out. I don't know. If we could try to, you know,

718
01:02:08,020 --> 01:02:10,820
that's a place where there's definitely a high risk of spread.

719
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:18,320
They're running with the windows down sort of a little bit, but I'm not sure that that.

720
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:24,220
They're three feet next to each other. So, Kevin, do you know, are there more buses available?

721
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,080
I don't think we have drivers. I think everyone who is available to drive is driving,

722
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:36,580
including last week, because of some, again, different, I think we had a couple of

723
01:02:36,580 --> 01:02:43,240
quarantine or out, our managers are also driving and our dispatcher, like they're all

724
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:48,160
driving. So I think they're doing the best they can, but again, we might be able to send

725
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,000
some message. I don't know if parents are really even thinking about it. If they have options,

726
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,760
maybe it's just like it's easier to get on the bus, but they could maybe make arrangements,

727
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,740
especially we're talking high school. There might be some arrangements that can be made a little

728
01:02:58,740 --> 01:03:03,000
bit easier with with other kids and I get I don't know if we want kids riding with kids. I don't know

729
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:09,170
what to encourage at this point. Well, and I think we need to be mindful that this vaccine

730
01:03:10,670 --> 01:03:18,670
even if it's the the second vaccine and second in two weeks out. This doesn't necessarily mean

731
01:03:18,670 --> 01:03:25,070
that you won't get COVID, right? So you could not quarantine if you're non-

732
01:03:25,070 --> 01:03:28,990
symptomatic. If you've had your vaccine and you become symptomatic, you have to

733
01:03:28,990 --> 01:03:34,850
go back to quarantine. It's 95% effective that you might not die or get

734
01:03:34,850 --> 01:03:39,630
severe COVID, not that you won't get COVID. So there are there are these

735
01:03:39,630 --> 01:03:43,210
caveats. We've had and we've had breakthrough cases in Oregon already. I mean

736
01:03:43,210 --> 01:03:47,510
it's a possibility. We need to be mindful of that, right? It's it's actually

737
01:03:47,510 --> 01:03:51,790
less effective than a condom and not all of our high schoolers have done a real good job with

738
01:03:51,790 --> 01:04:00,250
those in the past. So we have to be mindful that these things are not 100%. So while I think that we

739
01:04:00,250 --> 01:04:09,730
should, I can come to terms with the 29th. I'm not going to say that I'm excited about it, but only

740
01:04:09,730 --> 01:04:14,390
because I'm probably the downer in this crew based on everything that I've been watching. We're only

741
01:04:14,390 --> 01:04:17,290
handful of numbers away from 400 per 100,000.

742
01:04:18,550 --> 01:04:20,150
And to say I mean to your question,

743
01:04:20,230 --> 01:04:22,370
I don't think there's a number that scares our community enough.

744
01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:24,330
There just isn't.

745
01:04:25,610 --> 01:04:30,130
When the metric came out for the schools and it said 350,

746
01:04:30,450 --> 01:04:33,750
I remember sitting in the meeting going, wow,

747
01:04:33,870 --> 01:04:37,170
could you imagine getting 350 per 100,000?

748
01:04:37,170 --> 01:04:39,290
I remember talking to our team at Cousel the Wellness.

749
01:04:39,830 --> 01:04:41,990
And we were all just like, that's never going to happen.

750
01:04:43,990 --> 01:04:46,330
and we're here and we've been here for a while.

751
01:04:47,290 --> 01:04:49,610
So yes, I think we should be monitoring this

752
01:04:49,610 --> 01:04:51,870
and we can be looking into this

753
01:04:52,450 --> 01:04:56,890
to pull the cord if these trends aren't working

754
01:04:56,890 --> 01:04:57,590
in the right direction.

755
01:04:58,310 --> 01:04:59,570
I want the kids to go back to school.

756
01:05:00,070 --> 01:05:02,090
I want the high schoolers to have that opportunity,

757
01:05:02,270 --> 01:05:05,390
like the fact that we had to do what we had to do

758
01:05:05,390 --> 01:05:08,250
last year for graduation was so odd to us.

759
01:05:08,250 --> 01:05:09,450
and then throw

760
01:05:16,330 --> 01:05:21,690
him out he froze I think he was going to say something about the barbeque

761
01:05:21,690 --> 01:05:28,110
the hot noise before he was he was going there oh you there sir you froze Eric

762
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:31,680
I quit

763
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,240
I think he hold I think he holds smash the zoom we heard we heard it at that time

764
01:05:37,940 --> 01:05:44,580
no you're back Eric you want to continue on just let you know Eric I'm not excited about the date

765
01:05:44,580 --> 01:05:51,560
either but I think it's almost to the point where the mental well-being of our students

766
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:57,200
is tipping us. I get it. I get it. We just I wouldn't be fine with the 29. I don't.

767
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:04,920
Leave that back. I understand. There you go. That's the last word.

768
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:10,640
Actually, this is great. It's great that Eric can be silenced once in a while, you know.

769
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,200
All right, who's working on the back end on that?

770
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:32,420
I agree with Eric, to be honest, I'm reticent but I also hear what everyone else is saying

771
01:06:32,420 --> 01:06:38,480
and I want to honor that as well and there's that whole balance between mental health

772
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:48,290
And in future health, right, because we're talking about kids who in high school, I mean,

773
01:06:49,430 --> 01:06:53,290
if second graders are struggling, I'm not saying that's not important because it is,

774
01:06:53,390 --> 01:06:54,830
we know at all levels it is.

775
01:06:55,370 --> 01:07:03,190
But if you have an eight-year-old, we can do more to sort of help them recover.

776
01:07:03,190 --> 01:07:12,570
or a 15-year-old or a 16-year-old that is so far disengaged, we don't have much to

777
01:07:12,570 --> 01:07:13,890
pull them back with, right?

778
01:07:14,050 --> 01:07:23,390
Like, we're limited, and I know, you know, my daughter's one of the seniors, so she

779
01:07:23,390 --> 01:07:30,050
in some ways, that's hard, but it's a little bit lucky because she was close enough that

780
01:07:30,050 --> 01:07:33,070
that it's, you know, she can see the end-in-site,

781
01:07:34,730 --> 01:07:37,230
but yeah, for those sort of middle-high schoolers.

782
01:07:38,090 --> 01:07:40,610
And I'm glad that they have a CDL option.

783
01:07:40,650 --> 01:07:41,910
I think that's really important.

784
01:07:42,410 --> 01:07:44,730
We heard from some of those high schoolers,

785
01:07:44,730 --> 01:07:47,690
and then we heard from Tiley again, you know,

786
01:07:47,690 --> 01:07:50,230
that they have a lot of reservations,

787
01:07:50,530 --> 01:07:53,310
and I don't want anyone to have to come back to school

788
01:07:54,230 --> 01:07:55,810
and feel unsafe either.

789
01:07:55,810 --> 01:08:03,010
So I think that the fact that we have created those options for our students is really important,

790
01:08:03,430 --> 01:08:07,210
but we need to give the ones who need to come back the option as well.

791
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:17,460
We started this, our students have the option if they decide initially that they want to stay at home

792
01:08:17,460 --> 01:08:22,420
to six weeks later go, well, it's all looking pretty good. Maybe I'd rather go back to school

793
01:08:22,420 --> 01:08:27,780
announced to stay at home. Will they have that option or will they make their decision at this

794
01:08:27,780 --> 01:08:32,700
point and then they have to stay with that to the end of the year? They made that decision already.

795
01:08:34,340 --> 01:08:44,060
Can they come back if they want to though? No, not until May 10. So they're not going to swap out

796
01:08:44,060 --> 01:08:50,040
in the middle of the microterm. So we're going to open up another opportunity for kids to potentially

797
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:57,020
return at the beginning of April, but it's going to close very quickly. We cannot run

798
01:08:57,020 --> 01:09:04,260
a master schedule with kids coming in and out of AM and PM cohorts. We are really pushing

799
01:09:04,260 --> 01:09:10,320
our boundaries as far as how many kids we can get into an AM cohort already. And that's

800
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:15,400
where everybody wants to be. So those that are out will most likely need to remain out.

801
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,500
There is a wait list, but that's what we're working with.

802
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,760
So Darrell, they can, so you said everybody,

803
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,840
is leaning towards the morning cohort?

804
01:09:26,980 --> 01:09:29,180
Is that my understanding of what you just said?

805
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:34,160
Yes, so with transportation, we divided the school between AM and PM,

806
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,980
and then we had, you know, 38% request online.

807
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:42,000
Every, almost every cohort change request that came in,

808
01:09:42,020 --> 01:09:44,420
and we did address several dozen of them,

809
01:09:44,420 --> 01:09:54,240
We're afternoon students wanting to come into the morning and I mean we really have a hard time getting kids into any more morning classes.

810
01:09:54,460 --> 01:09:58,100
We had to close the option for students to shift their cohorts.

811
01:09:58,860 --> 01:10:00,980
We just take any more kids in the morning.

812
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:05,120
Oh, I'm actually kind of surprised that the kids would want to get up.

813
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,880
But I guess it kind of makes sense with transportation, maybe too.

814
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:11,580
That's interesting.

815
01:10:11,580 --> 01:10:14,280
Okay. Okay. I think they just want to get it over with.

816
01:10:16,780 --> 01:10:21,760
So is there, if people know this now, can they change their children, or do we just want

817
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,960
to leave it as is and not muck with the system anymore?

818
01:10:25,540 --> 01:10:29,340
Are you asking me for my vote, because I've already told them we're not muck in with the system?

819
01:10:29,340 --> 01:10:34,020
Okay. And that's fine. I just want to make sure that that's known because I'm shocked

820
01:10:34,020 --> 01:10:38,620
by that news, actually, that people want to. Yeah. No, and that's fine. I totally get

821
01:10:38,620 --> 01:10:38,800
that.

822
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:44,280
So 20 days out, you've made your decision, and then you'll get a chance to come back

823
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,180
that May 6th if you really want to last six week term.

824
01:10:48,540 --> 01:10:49,660
So it's possible.

825
01:10:51,020 --> 01:10:53,820
On the space of it, let's go ahead, Joe.

826
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,220
I'm sorry, there's a little bit here, if that's on a space available basis.

827
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,180
Julie, on it, have you heard what you need to hear?

828
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,480
Do you guys need to talk about this further?

829
01:11:08,340 --> 01:11:11,480
I think we're good and not somebody has anything else.

830
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:13,700
Okay, I have to ask one more question now.

831
01:11:13,940 --> 01:11:17,580
Just because this is all some new information for me.

832
01:11:18,580 --> 01:11:19,940
One more question for Darryl.

833
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:24,660
So I guess I'm a little bit confused of what point did that decision get made

834
01:11:24,660 --> 01:11:26,700
of who's coming back and who isn't.

835
01:11:27,020 --> 01:11:28,680
I know you've sent out several surveys.

836
01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:30,160
I guess that's why I'm confused.

837
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:31,860
Which one was the determining factor?

838
01:11:31,860 --> 01:11:40,000
So there at the end of January there was one set out that we notified families so if you go

839
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:44,240
back to your parent email you'll see there was one where you said this is where you need to make

840
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:53,420
a determination and we made a deadline. We notified through parent communication that any changes in

841
01:11:53,420 --> 01:12:01,020
cohorts would be wait listed. Okay okay I guess I just want to make sure people are aware of if

842
01:12:01,020 --> 01:12:04,920
kids are going back, you know, or signed up to go back or what the deal is. Okay.

843
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:07,740
Thank you.

844
01:12:11,180 --> 01:12:15,060
Any other questions, concerns, comments from the board?

845
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,800
I just want to make sure that I'm on the same page with everybody and if I'm understanding

846
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:25,400
everything accurately that we're, we are planning on having the kids go back March 29 or the high

847
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:33,320
schoolers, excuse me, go back on March 29 and that's what we're, am I on the same page? That's

848
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,800
So we're sticking with it, and that's what we're doing, is that?

849
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:43,680
I think unless the middle school and or elementary schools,

850
01:12:43,820 --> 01:12:50,940
if we start seeing that sort of school spread, then we'll have to make

851
01:12:50,940 --> 01:12:54,760
a different determination or maybe have to just be done.

852
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:59,100
I would also say that we're also going to be monitoring high school staff and students,

853
01:12:59,420 --> 01:12:59,940
because we'll do that.

854
01:13:00,020 --> 01:13:02,460
We have high school sports, they're continuing.

855
01:13:02,460 --> 01:13:11,120
I think they're they have a pretty busy spring break. So we'll be monitoring all of that. So that's probably a bigger deciding factor than than the elementary middle school impacting high school.

856
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:20,160
So we'll be watching high school. That's kind of how I leave this is specifically the impact on high school to determine whether they come back elementary middle school that'll have their own impact.

857
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:27,060
And we'll be shutting those down if as needed on a case by case cohort by cohort or school by school basis.

858
01:13:27,060 --> 01:13:31,700
this. Same thing with athletics, if we need to shut down a sport, it'll be shut down

859
01:13:31,700 --> 01:13:37,100
based on kind of the impact that's going on within that group. But again, if we have

860
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:43,080
a spread within the football team, that may impact us returning everybody else as well.

861
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:51,260
And they all know that. So they're caution to like follow these rules, wear your mask, quit

862
01:13:51,260 --> 01:13:55,800
doing whatever because we want you to one continue to play and then come back to school.

863
01:13:57,870 --> 01:14:01,790
and both those things are on jeopardy if they get COVID.

864
01:14:02,850 --> 01:14:03,070
Okay.

865
01:14:04,430 --> 01:14:06,450
Do we need to take a vote on that or something or are we?

866
01:14:07,570 --> 01:14:08,170
No vote.

867
01:14:09,370 --> 01:14:11,910
I think we got we did kind of a straw vote on this.

868
01:14:12,090 --> 01:14:16,270
I mean, it kind of was like, and I heard kind of generally in support of this direction.

869
01:14:16,930 --> 01:14:18,750
I didn't really hear anyone say no.

870
01:14:19,970 --> 01:14:25,190
So I think you say if our community can't step it up and control this thing,

871
01:14:25,190 --> 01:14:30,890
at least the school can do it to that level and show that if we keep this in our control

872
01:14:30,890 --> 01:14:37,370
then hopefully, I don't know, some, I'm with Eric, we're here at Cus Health Wellness.

873
01:14:37,690 --> 01:14:41,990
We see a lot of our co-workers who are dealing with this front line.

874
01:14:42,270 --> 01:14:49,430
It's, we're struggling trying to keep track of this thing and, you know, it's just not

875
01:14:49,430 --> 01:14:51,550
good in our community, what's going on.

876
01:14:52,350 --> 01:14:58,830
So, if we all teachers, everybody could spread in the word saying, hey, listen at the same

877
01:14:58,830 --> 01:14:59,590
look in the butt.

878
01:15:00,180 --> 01:15:29,780
The student we do this, the student we get out of the situation. All the other counties are down trending except for us. I think it would be great to encourage community leaders to have that message out too. You know, we as community leaders as board members can do that. And if you know people, you know, some people are maybe on the city council and no other city council members or have family members that are mayors.

879
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:36,440
You want to draft something for the board and we can get it out to our channels like

880
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:38,000
will press release on behalf of the board?

881
01:15:38,480 --> 01:15:41,660
Yeah, I think that would be great and I think that's encouraged.

882
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:47,560
I mean, I don't know how much it will help but it can't hurt and I think it would be great

883
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,540
for people to hear from our community leaders.

884
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:59,060
This is important and we want businesses to be open, we want schools to reopen, we want

885
01:15:59,060 --> 01:16:06,780
our kids to stay safe and let's do the things we know we need to do so that we can make that happen.

886
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:12,200
Yeah, I think that the adults need to act like adults so these kids can get back.

887
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:18,040
I would like to be number one for something else. So let's make that the goal of truth county.

888
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,420
Well, that's a good idea.

889
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:25,360
Use this as a leverage around building community, right? Reopen North Bend, Reopen Kusk County,

890
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:31,240
reopen, I mean whatever the case may be it's like let's buy in together and get

891
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:35,240
some messaging out collectively as a group so I don't know whether we can

892
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,440
leverage some of those resources that we have.

893
01:16:40,220 --> 01:16:42,360
Do it. All right I will work on

894
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:47,360
that tomorrow. Awesome. Right now I'm gonna order pizza from Domino's because if

895
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:51,700
you order until 8 o'clock the senior class gets 10% of the proceeds I'm just saying

896
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:56,080
anyone's looking for a dinner idea. Mine's sitting over there and it smells really

897
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:04,620
good, so I better get on it then. If you need any support from the teachers of the union

898
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:08,580
on that message in Giuliana, please let me know. Oh, that would be awesome. Thank you.

899
01:17:11,290 --> 01:17:15,910
I would just like to thank everybody again. I'm just so impressed with our schools and how

900
01:17:15,910 --> 01:17:24,310
they are stepping up and being responsible and I'm just proud of them. I agree. Thank you.

901
01:17:24,310 --> 01:17:33,710
All right. Hearing nothing else. I would look for can I can I throw one thing out? Sure.

902
01:17:34,330 --> 01:17:44,110
Sorry. So I wanted to run something by the board. This is hopefully a positive here.

903
01:17:45,670 --> 01:17:53,230
Our football team is playing oh they're playing Baker this week over in in Primeville

904
01:17:53,230 --> 01:18:03,650
And that prime bill is a lower risk county where we can have, where 300 people can be at a football event.

905
01:18:06,230 --> 01:18:14,610
We hear we're allowed 120. So for the last couple of weeks I've arranged for 120 to football game 50 at a soccer game.

906
01:18:14,610 --> 01:18:19,090
So, I've been arranging for parents to be able to come in and watch our children play.

907
01:18:19,330 --> 01:18:23,670
We've had a bunch of people, all the seniors, parents are going to work at a game, like

908
01:18:23,670 --> 01:18:30,490
on the chain crew, I have people live streaming game, the games, just different things that are

909
01:18:30,490 --> 01:18:33,010
all legitimate ways for those people to work.

910
01:18:34,630 --> 01:18:42,930
But this week we have a chance to have 300 people total in at County High School.

911
01:18:44,190 --> 01:18:52,630
and what I would like to do is invite our families of our 35 players that are going to have two people in each family

912
01:18:53,550 --> 01:19:02,890
go to the game and watch the game live instead of online and we have offered things online.

913
01:19:03,130 --> 01:19:11,870
I don't know that that one's going to be online because it's not on our facility, but I think it'd be a great opportunity for all of our kids

914
01:19:11,870 --> 01:19:15,370
is to be able to have a parent there at least one time

915
01:19:16,070 --> 01:19:17,070
watching a game.

916
01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:20,370
I will be there making sure that there's

917
01:19:20,370 --> 01:19:24,970
social distancing and people have masks on.

918
01:19:26,650 --> 01:19:29,790
The County School District's superintendent

919
01:19:29,790 --> 01:19:34,750
is in support of having a group of up to 300 there

920
01:19:36,350 --> 01:19:39,670
realistically even if both schools had every family

921
01:19:39,670 --> 01:19:40,810
with two people there.

922
01:19:41,510 --> 01:19:49,330
We're probably still looking at about 90 to 100 extra spots for people, so we're probably looking at a crowd of 200 to 220.

923
01:19:50,650 --> 01:19:55,210
But I felt like it was important to get your guys as sure.

924
01:19:55,670 --> 01:20:02,230
Thanks Mike. I forgot that we talked about it. He had asked me and I'm like, oh, we need to get the board to weigh in on this and I don't want to just say yes.

925
01:20:02,230 --> 01:20:06,490
and then they're like you said what you said the cook county like so I

926
01:20:06,490 --> 01:20:11,700
definitely want you guys to weigh in on that we're we're not talking about like

927
01:20:11,700 --> 01:20:16,840
providing a bus right no we're not for our so our kids will go on two buses

928
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,440
we have one kid per seat but no we're not

929
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,640
parents would take parents would ride themselves yeah okay okay

930
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:31,040
and there would be a letter that would go out to

931
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:37,260
each to both Baker parents and North Bend High School parents about

932
01:20:37,260 --> 01:20:42,700
expectations of the game and I would have zero issues if we had parents that

933
01:20:42,700 --> 01:20:46,760
couldn't keep themselves socially distanced or weren't gonna do what they

934
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:51,600
were supposed to do. I would have zero issue walking out on the field stop in the

935
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:58,600
game until people are where they need to be. So we're not gonna throw people in

936
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:04,980
Jail, we're going to stop kids from playing, which peer pressure from other adults is pretty.

937
01:21:05,140 --> 01:21:05,580
That's all they want.

938
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,020
They want to see their kids play, so.

939
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:12,840
We have, you know, actually, and the other thing I'll tell you is today, we started doing,

940
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:16,380
so we're health screening all of our kids, everybody that comes on campus.

941
01:21:18,300 --> 01:21:23,880
And so today, with our athletes, we actually started doing a little QR code, we'll use this

942
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:32,540
on Saturday, every parent that walks through the gate will have to fill out a form.

943
01:21:33,700 --> 01:21:35,780
This just takes them to a Google form.

944
01:21:36,300 --> 01:21:37,520
They fill it out.

945
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:45,960
I watched them hit the Submit button and then if there were having forbids, some kind

946
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:51,900
of an issue, we would have the name of every one of our parents over there.

947
01:21:54,980 --> 01:21:57,540
Any reservations, I guess maybe, is where we go with this?

948
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:04,040
Mine is simply about trying to think of how to word this.

949
01:22:05,300 --> 01:22:12,240
So, of our players, do we anticipate that because this may be the only opportunity for

950
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,900
parents to get to watch the game, right?

951
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,340
And it's kind of far away, and you have...

952
01:22:17,340 --> 01:22:18,520
You have a paper non-senior.

953
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:39,520
So I love the idea. I just want to make sure do we have any kind of idea if there is families that we think that might be a hardship for getting there or and is there any way we can mitigate that in a way that's

954
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:56,020
Well, I do know that, you know, I mean we can always find with rides the issue there is that, you know, people are supposed to wear masks if they're not riding, if they're in a car, not riding with their own family members.

955
01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:07,440
I have had one mother call me who's due to have a baby on Saturday and she's, you know, she's helping her doctor will let her go.

956
01:23:08,060 --> 01:23:10,400
to the game because she's taking her kids after

957
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,920
and not to the game necessarily, but over to pick her kid up

958
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:14,880
and take them to a bowling event.

959
01:23:17,500 --> 01:23:19,920
But I think that if we put the word out

960
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,960
that somebody need, you know, a ride,

961
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:24,900
that's probably all we could do.

962
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:33,500
We could pony up and get them other bus for parents

963
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:34,920
but I don't think I'd be able to do that.

964
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,220
Well, I'm not comfortable with the bus idea.

965
01:23:37,220 --> 01:23:39,620
I just want to make sure that

966
01:23:39,620 --> 01:23:47,860
But if there's some way to sort of work to parents, if they need help on any level, maybe

967
01:23:47,860 --> 01:23:52,740
even it's just gas money, I don't know, I would hate to see somebody miss that opportunity.

968
01:23:53,500 --> 01:23:58,240
Well, one of the nice things is the game is at two o'clock, so our kids aren't staying

969
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:05,660
the night, the game will be over five people can get back, so there's not my pressure on

970
01:24:05,660 --> 01:24:10,400
people to stay tonight because you know it's too late to get back.

971
01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:14,080
I don't have any reservations

972
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,460
about it. I think like everything you outline, like telling parents, you know,

973
01:24:17,940 --> 01:24:23,280
giving them a letter and outlining everything and stopping the game if you have to. I think

974
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:29,920
to me, I don't have a reservation to have that. I think the ride thing's the most sketchy piece of it

975
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:38,620
for me. Yeah. No, so the ride piece of it like mask or not six feet within 15 minutes

976
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:44,940
within six feet of someone is still considered a close contact if someone else would end up sick.

977
01:24:44,940 --> 01:24:54,240
So that's the only part that makes me a little iffy. But I think it's a great idea. It's all in

978
01:24:54,240 --> 01:25:00,020
execution honestly. I agree. I was about people making good decisions right so if you're not

979
01:25:00,020 --> 01:25:03,220
feeling well that you're not getting in the car or you're not going. You're not going.

980
01:25:03,580 --> 01:25:09,060
I keep going to these. I know you want to go see your kid. Please do not go sick.

981
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,120
Well if there's one thing whose county's done so far is make good decisions.

982
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:21,200
Seriously. I will say the one thing I would say is you know we had we had a whole bunch of things

983
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:28,560
here last week. And I put a post out on Facebook and got a little heat from some people that

984
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,520
weren't thrilled about it. But we told people they couldn't come on the school district property

985
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:38,240
and watch a game. I think Friday night, you know, Darryl and Wade were at one end of the field,

986
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:45,740
Jake and I were at the other. I think we probably had to talk to maybe 20 people, 15 people on Friday

987
01:25:45,740 --> 01:25:52,320
night and then I was down here on Saturday and I had to talk to like three or four but people are

988
01:25:52,320 --> 01:26:01,160
our parents. I feel like I've really done a good job. I feel like they should get an A-plus for

989
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:08,720
for being good role models in this situation, maybe not in all situations. So far so good. I think they

990
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:15,180
done a really good job with it and it's tough I get it but our parents have

991
01:26:15,660 --> 01:26:20,960
cooperated really well. So far so good and again we'll try to get them if if we

992
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:25,220
can expand some some fans at some point we're trying to make some decisions as

993
01:26:25,220 --> 01:26:30,680
a county and as soon as we get out of extreme allowing at least some of our

994
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,820
parents to come and watch especially senior parents and I appreciate what

995
01:26:33,820 --> 01:26:37,760
my senior parents a chance to see their kid in one way or another so

996
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,520
two of those Mike for that real

997
01:26:43,850 --> 01:26:46,190
quick Mike have you guys looked at doing any kind

998
01:26:46,190 --> 01:26:51,510
of like YouTube live streaming of any of the games or so yeah so right now we

999
01:26:51,510 --> 01:26:56,110
have two different options we have a we have somebody Facebook streaming on

1000
01:26:56,110 --> 01:27:01,590
our North Bend if you go to North Bend athletics it's a free serve I mean it's just

1001
01:27:01,590 --> 01:27:06,710
free we have I have a parent of like a football player or a soccer parent even our

1002
01:27:06,710 --> 01:27:15,310
middle school games. We've live streamed every home event on Facebook and and and free is a good price.

1003
01:27:15,670 --> 01:27:23,690
We also have a pixel lock camera in the bleacher in the West Grandstands. This people can go on

1004
01:27:23,690 --> 01:27:31,330
nfhs.com. It's live stream the football game last Friday night Rick Stevens did the play by play

1005
01:27:31,330 --> 01:27:36,630
over the radio. It's patched in. There is a fee with it. And I'll be honest with you. We don't,

1006
01:27:36,790 --> 01:27:43,690
we get like a dime for every subscription. We didn't do it to make money when we bought that camera.

1007
01:27:43,910 --> 01:27:51,290
But it's a fee of I think $11 a month. But to be honest, if I were going to watch the game and I

1008
01:27:51,290 --> 01:27:54,990
just wanted to watch the game, I'd probably watch it on Facebook, not just because it's free, but

1009
01:27:54,990 --> 01:27:58,290
but I think the camera quality is better on the...

1010
01:27:58,290 --> 01:28:02,650
Well, and one thing on the NAPHS, if you subscribe to that,

1011
01:28:02,810 --> 01:28:04,750
one is you can go watch all the games are recorded.

1012
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:07,550
And so, if you weren't able to watch it live,

1013
01:28:07,570 --> 01:28:09,030
that's where you're gonna go get a recording

1014
01:28:09,030 --> 01:28:13,470
and you can go watch, so I watched part of games later.

1015
01:28:14,130 --> 01:28:16,070
And you can watch it over and over again.

1016
01:28:16,070 --> 01:28:18,510
You can go back and watch games from 10 years ago.

1017
01:28:18,670 --> 01:28:20,990
Our girl's soccer team is on it right now,

1018
01:28:22,070 --> 01:28:23,170
playing Johnson City.

1019
01:28:23,170 --> 01:28:30,150
So, I mean, it's cool, it's a great tool that we have issues, we've had issues with the camera up there.

1020
01:28:31,650 --> 01:28:36,970
I'm just thinking of like other options for parents, you know, just can't make it or whatnot.

1021
01:28:37,310 --> 01:28:41,790
Yeah, or they're not sure if they really want to travel or go, you know.

1022
01:28:42,570 --> 01:28:46,050
Yeah, and our plan would be to have a parent.

1023
01:28:46,070 --> 01:28:49,830
I haven't identified who that parent is yet for this game.

1024
01:28:49,830 --> 01:28:55,750
trust me there'll be no issue getting a parent to live stream the game on

1025
01:28:55,750 --> 01:28:56,990
Saturday. Cool.

1026
01:29:06,540 --> 01:29:12,900
Sorry I was placing my pizza order. All right so I would look

1027
01:29:12,900 --> 01:29:21,620
for thank you Mike all right and hearing no opposition we're gonna adjourn. Thank

1028
01:29:21,620 --> 01:29:22,240
Thank you, everyone.

1029
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,040
Thank you for coming, everybody.

1030
01:29:24,780 --> 01:29:25,320
Thanks, everyone.
