1
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:05,790
All right, please come to order. Welcome to the Nevada Joint Union High School

2
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:10,110
District regular board meeting. It is 6:06 PM.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Today is September 9th, 2026. We're at the board room at 112 Nevada City Highway,

4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:16,831
Nevada City. Mr. Pezzella, call the roll, please.

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,600
Yeah. Trustee Lull?

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:19,500
Aye.

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:20,670
Trustee Clark?

8
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:21,060
Aye.

9
00:00:21,241 --> 00:00:22,020
Trustee Pritchett?

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,590
Aye.

11
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,820
Trustee Willoughby?

12
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,030
Here.

13
00:00:24,329 --> 00:00:25,110
President Klein?

14
00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:25,440
Here.

15
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,860
And then it's noted that Trustee Johnson is absent this evening.

16
00:00:32,491 --> 00:00:33,750
All right, we have

17
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,670
nothing to report out of closed session.

18
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:52,590
And out of closed session, the board will now consider action on the readmission of

19
00:00:52,651 --> 00:00:55,770
student 26-7. Do we have a motion?

20
00:00:58,231 --> 00:01:00,120
Being none, that motion dies on the table.

21
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:05,670
There.

22
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:12,810
All right, just a reminder, this meeting is for the board of trustees.

23
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:15,810
We were elected to direct the superintendent and guide the district.

24
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:17,730
We're a governing board of the people, by the people.

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840
But this meeting is a meeting of the board held in public, not a meeting of the

26
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:25,110
public, so follow the agenda and the time limits.

27
00:01:25,321 --> 00:01:28,140
If you'd like to make a public comment, please make sure you fill out a card, give

28
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:30,360
it to Jamie, and we'll do our best to have time for you.

29
00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:35,130
If your comment is on an item on the agenda, please mark that on the card so we'll

30
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:36,120
take you up on that item.

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Tonight, we adopt last year's actual financial results, and we adopt goals for

32
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:47,490
superintendent, and those two items belong together well.

33
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:52,590
So a word before we start. Washington's farewell address in

34
00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:58,380
1796 told the country to cherish the public credit and to use it sparingly,

35
00:01:59,370 --> 00:02:01,830
and that is a school board's job description.

36
00:02:02,130 --> 00:02:03,750
The money in this district is not ours.

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,551
It was taken from the people in this county under compulsion of law and handed to

38
00:02:08,641 --> 00:02:10,500
five neighbors to spend on their kids.

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,900
And when we look at the numbers later tonight, I want us to look at them in the

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,740
same way we look at our own, because someone in Grass Valley is looking at them

41
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:20,460
that way.

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
So with that, I'd like to lead everyone in the pledge of allegiance.

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,601
Rise, ready, begin.

44
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:36,391
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the

45
00:02:36,421 --> 00:02:42,120
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with

46
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,010
liberty and justice for all.

47
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:56,190
On to the approval of the agenda. Do we have any changes or alterations?

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,450
We do not.

49
00:02:59,370 --> 00:03:00,900
Could we get a motion to approve the agenda?

50
00:03:01,141 --> 00:03:01,680
So moved.

51
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:02,430
And a second?

52
00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:02,430
Second.

53
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:05,610
All in favor?

54
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:10,800
So yeah. All in favor say, "Aye."

55
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:11,940
Aye.

56
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:14,879
Any against? The ayes have it.

57
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:19,620
Moving right along to student showcase.

58
00:03:20,851 --> 00:03:23,430
Looks like we have the Nevada Union High School dance program.

59
00:03:23,610 --> 00:03:27,060
We do. And if Ms. Wadman and her team could come to the podium.

60
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:31,951
Courtney Wadman and a number of students are here to present on the dance program

61
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:33,900
at Nevada Union High School. Welcome.

62
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:44,430
Good evening, and hello everyone, board members, district leadership, and community

63
00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:49,590
members. My name is Amora Lucia, and I am the Nevada Union Dance ASB Club

64
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:54,240
president. I am a senior at Ben Ogie, and I've been dual enrolled for all four

65
00:03:54,270 --> 00:03:55,020
years of high school.

66
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:59,640
Hi, my name is Charlotte Detong. I am the vice president of the Union Dance ASB

67
00:03:59,701 --> 00:04:02,970
Club. I'm also a senior, this is also my fourth year in advance.

68
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:07,080
This year we started a new program that is Performance Ensemble Honors, which gives

69
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:12,390
us new opportunities with student choreography showcase, teaching assistants, and

70
00:04:12,421 --> 00:04:13,500
student management internship.

71
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:18,330
Thank you for giving Charlotte and I the opportunity to share a few updates about

72
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:21,031
the exciting growth of our program.

73
00:04:21,481 --> 00:04:22,860
Our vision is to

74
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:30,480
grow exceptional dance education, expand performance opportunities, and

75
00:04:30,781 --> 00:04:34,350
make sure there's more leadership development, and involve the community.

76
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,240
There are more ASB members up here.

77
00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:43,710
And we also have a current booster team this year.

78
00:04:43,770 --> 00:04:46,380
They're helping us with fundraising and manage our accounts, which is a lot of

79
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,701
help. And as well as Courtney, we have many other teachers that come in and teach

80
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,360
our class.

81
00:04:53,130 --> 00:04:57,570
This month alone, we've worked and we've had a Ben Ogie Dance master class, a

82
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:03,300
Spiderman-themed rally dance, dance team auditions, Nutcracker auditions, and folk

83
00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:07,890
dance auditions. Folk dance rehearsal is starting on the week of November 19th and

84
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:08,430
21st.

85
00:05:09,150 --> 00:05:13,020
This year's fall concert is especially exciting because we're introducing six

86
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,730
student choreographers to choreograph in our fall production and our student

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,970
choreography production. And we're doing this this year so that we have the

88
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:26,190
opportunity to take our original works to the National High School Dance Festival

89
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:27,990
in March and compete them there.

90
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,580
We will have the opportunity to take master classes, see performances, and connect

91
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:40,500
with dancers across the country, as well as audition to colleges and professional

92
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,190
dance programs.

93
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,620
I'm also a captain on the SD dance team, and we are super excited this year to be

94
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,960
attending the football games and basketball games.

95
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:52,201
We're also participating in the Kings Dance Workshop.

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,500
And then for advanced dance, we're going to be going out to middle schools on

97
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,070
November 5th with choir, band, and drama to be reaching out to both of my

98
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:01,591
friends.

99
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,110
Our biggest community outreach this year has been the development of our sister

100
00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:11,760
studio at Grass Valley Museum and Cultural Center and the growth of our enrichment

101
00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:17,520
programs. Currently, we have 150 members participating

102
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,520
in our enrichment classes. We have classes going on after school at Nevada

103
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:26,130
Union in our dance room and in our new studios.

104
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:30,570
Right here in the black Marley is the garden studio, which has a beautiful view of

105
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:35,401
our garden. And the sky studio, the studio with the gray Marley, has a beautiful

106
00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:40,320
view of the sky and the church. And they're beautiful studios with beautiful

107
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:42,660
teachers, and it's been a joy to participate in them.

108
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Also this year, our studio intern responsibilities, so we're helping to manage

109
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:51,061
studios a little bit more to get more hands-on experience.

110
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,290
So what we do is the OTC class rosters, community participant registrations and

111
00:06:55,380 --> 00:07:00,091
payments, teaching and rehearsal schedules, and our program fundraising budget.

112
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,520
I'm also an assistant for the youth reaching class, which has been really fun for

113
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:07,081
me. This is my second year doing it.

114
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:11,280
It's really fun to work with kids in dance and encourage them to keep dancing.

115
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:16,980
I forgot to mention, but our debut performance of the Nutcracker will be happening

116
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:21,690
December 11th and 12th at the Dawn Baggett Theater, and we're really excited to

117
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,010
share this beautiful production.

118
00:07:23,850 --> 00:07:27,630
As you can see, it's a really ambitious year for the dance program, but we're so

119
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,600
excited for all the upcoming grand things we are producing, and we hope to see you

120
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:34,770
at our community events.

121
00:07:38,401 --> 00:07:40,980
Here we have a video of our most recent rally.

122
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:58,591
Yeah.

123
00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:03,660
Anyway.

124
00:08:03,690 --> 00:08:04,410
Oh, thank you.

125
00:08:18,210 --> 00:08:19,920
One quick question. Did I see that

126
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,250
Mrs. Browning knows how to tap dance in there?

127
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:24,630
Oh, yeah.

128
00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:27,841
I did not know that, and that's-- really excited about that.

129
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:28,680
She's a theater girl.

130
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:30,870
Yeah, she has done musical theater.

131
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,451
There are classes for ages nine and up at all levels.

132
00:08:33,510 --> 00:08:34,860
Do I include nine and up?

133
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,630
Yes, we have adults.

134
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:37,711
Oh. I'll see you in class

135
00:08:42,018 --> 00:08:45,138
In the family, we just saw a video of Luke dancing before the meeting started.

136
00:08:45,168 --> 00:08:45,558
Yes.

137
00:08:46,398 --> 00:08:49,969
I had a question. You guys are going to the National High School Dance?

138
00:08:49,969 --> 00:08:52,998
National High School Dance Festival. It's at Point Park University.

139
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,668
So we've been a few times in the past.

140
00:08:56,118 --> 00:08:59,838
And each year we always ask the students what they strictly want to do.

141
00:09:00,078 --> 00:09:04,038
Last year we went to New York. The National High School Dance Festival is a great

142
00:09:04,698 --> 00:09:08,928
field trip opportunity because it's not just the United States.

143
00:09:08,988 --> 00:09:12,648
Like Canada, Australia, really from all over the world.

144
00:09:12,738 --> 00:09:16,969
And they have a professional company in residence that does a performance for the

145
00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:21,678
opening ceremony, and then classes throughout the day with amazing instructors from

146
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:24,318
across the world. So they get to train, and then they have performance

147
00:09:24,378 --> 00:09:26,268
opportunities, and they love student choreography.

148
00:09:26,658 --> 00:09:29,838
Typically, we don't start student choreography showcase till winter.

149
00:09:30,498 --> 00:09:34,308
The fall show is usually faculty, and the student showcase is our middle show in

150
00:09:34,368 --> 00:09:37,038
winter, and then our spring dance concert is back to faculty.

151
00:09:37,099 --> 00:09:42,469
And so we usually haven't had material ready to take to that festival, but we did

152
00:09:42,528 --> 00:09:45,768
pick six veteran choreographers with Charlotte, and Amari as two of those

153
00:09:45,828 --> 00:09:49,578
choreographers who are setting work for the fall specifically to be ready for

154
00:09:49,608 --> 00:09:52,638
education, so that they can submit work to the festival.

155
00:09:53,538 --> 00:09:57,948
And then, yeah, there are also auditions through that program.

156
00:09:58,248 --> 00:10:03,168
Like, Olivia's daughter, Ava, came with us to the regional and was recruited by

157
00:10:03,258 --> 00:10:07,458
Joffrey, and then ended up getting to go to New York after to those festivals-

158
00:10:07,518 --> 00:10:07,758
Awesome. So much exposure

159
00:10:07,788 --> 00:10:09,678
... where they get shown to real companies.

160
00:10:10,008 --> 00:10:10,398
Yeah, cool.

161
00:10:10,488 --> 00:10:11,478
Which is really special.

162
00:10:11,658 --> 00:10:11,808
Okay.

163
00:10:14,688 --> 00:10:15,888
Yeah. Any other questions?

164
00:10:16,878 --> 00:10:19,547
Yep. I'll just drop there. Thank you.

165
00:10:20,238 --> 00:10:23,898
The level of service you provide to students is unreal, Courtney.

166
00:10:23,988 --> 00:10:28,908
And on top of the productions that you do, now you've added this whole another

167
00:10:28,969 --> 00:10:32,538
layer, and you have students involved in running it and providing lessons.

168
00:10:35,178 --> 00:10:38,838
We're beyond grateful because it's a huge service to the kids in our community and

169
00:10:38,898 --> 00:10:41,988
our district, and we see it, and you go way above and beyond.

170
00:10:42,078 --> 00:10:43,128
So I just appreciate that.

171
00:10:43,188 --> 00:10:45,588
Yeah, definitely focusing on work-based learning experiences.

172
00:10:45,588 --> 00:10:45,588
Yep.

173
00:10:45,618 --> 00:10:50,868
And career basic. I got my CTE credential recently, and so we're ready to create

174
00:10:50,928 --> 00:10:51,678
that pathway.

175
00:10:51,858 --> 00:10:52,008
Yeah.

176
00:10:52,458 --> 00:10:54,858
While still getting visual and performing arts.

177
00:10:54,948 --> 00:10:58,638
Like you said, for performing arts credits, but adding that CTE pathway to the

178
00:10:58,668 --> 00:11:00,228
program is a big deal.

179
00:11:00,558 --> 00:11:00,678
Yeah.

180
00:11:00,738 --> 00:11:02,388
So, absolutely.

181
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:04,368
Cool. That's all.

182
00:11:04,458 --> 00:11:08,268
I had a question for the girls. So how was "Spider-Man" received at the rally?

183
00:11:09,258 --> 00:11:10,668
Everyone was like, "Yeah."

184
00:11:10,728 --> 00:11:11,898
Awesome. Good.

185
00:11:11,958 --> 00:11:12,708
It was stunning.

186
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:17,058
And he learns that whole thing in just one weekend.

187
00:11:17,358 --> 00:11:17,478
So

188
00:11:18,768 --> 00:11:23,028
yeah, that's it. Been learning how many dances already. Pretty good stuff.

189
00:11:25,278 --> 00:11:28,849
Daily technique classes and then rehearsals after school and weekends.

190
00:11:29,178 --> 00:11:31,698
So pretty impressive group.

191
00:11:31,758 --> 00:11:31,938
Cool.

192
00:11:32,508 --> 00:11:35,268
Okay. Of course, I have two cents, of course.

193
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:41,028
But I don't even know where to start because I just feel like maybe I'm emotional

194
00:11:41,088 --> 00:11:45,978
because there is no doubt, like, the blood, sweat and tears and time and energy

195
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:51,618
that Courtney specifically has put into this program to

196
00:11:51,678 --> 00:11:56,628
foster, to give it roots, to give it the strong foundation that it has today.

197
00:11:57,317 --> 00:12:02,118
And you should be so proud of your work and just seeing it as it continues to come

198
00:12:02,148 --> 00:12:02,988
to fruition.

199
00:12:04,278 --> 00:12:06,648
Not just with my daughter and not just with

200
00:12:08,088 --> 00:12:13,818
the dancers who are here today or tomorrow or yesterday, but it is amazing.

201
00:12:14,719 --> 00:12:17,808
It's just the tip of the iceberg of what these ladies just does.

202
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,258
We're not even talking about all of the

203
00:12:23,088 --> 00:12:27,588
characteristics that gives them the confidence. Like the student choreography.

204
00:12:27,648 --> 00:12:30,528
A lot of these ladies and gentlemen.

205
00:12:30,768 --> 00:12:34,518
Learning to teach your own peers and learning to

206
00:12:35,719 --> 00:12:39,048
foster that relationship. The all-abilities classes.

207
00:12:39,438 --> 00:12:45,138
Having that confidence, time management, and balancing all of it and doing the

208
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:48,798
place. And then just all the different types of dances that they're learning and

209
00:12:48,858 --> 00:12:54,589
being exposed to. It is incredible. And then expanding it into the community.

210
00:12:57,288 --> 00:13:01,969
There are no words to express just how rich and how special this program is.

211
00:13:02,479 --> 00:13:07,939
And AI cannot replace the performing arts. So snap to that.

212
00:13:08,958 --> 00:13:14,778
But yeah, everybody should go and support them and just see the incredible work

213
00:13:14,808 --> 00:13:20,778
that you guys do because it is so many blood, sweat and tears, and then you

214
00:13:20,839 --> 00:13:22,969
perform, and then it's like it never happened.

215
00:13:23,028 --> 00:13:28,758
But what it can give to young adults will

216
00:13:28,848 --> 00:13:32,058
last and permeate throughout what they do.

217
00:13:33,138 --> 00:13:37,848
So, personally, I know so many. My daughter's a testament to that.

218
00:13:38,448 --> 00:13:44,208
And because of this program and the opportunities that it gave her, not just

219
00:13:44,298 --> 00:13:45,798
personally but professionally,

220
00:13:47,418 --> 00:13:50,628
everybody needs to know about this. So support your performing arts.

221
00:13:50,689 --> 00:13:55,969
Great job, and thank you so much for continuing to do what you do, because the work

222
00:13:55,998 --> 00:14:01,219
that you do is so important, and there is an army there behind you that will

223
00:14:01,278 --> 00:14:06,558
continue to sing the praises of your program. So bravo.

224
00:14:11,298 --> 00:14:13,368
Shanté's class at the new studio.

225
00:14:14,778 --> 00:14:15,498
See you later.

226
00:14:15,648 --> 00:14:16,939
All right. Thank you guys for coming.

227
00:14:20,689 --> 00:14:25,398
All right, we're on to student site reps. Anybody from Silver?

228
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:34,518
Sure. Hi, everybody. I'm Abigail Silver, per usual.

229
00:14:35,328 --> 00:14:37,398
I'm here representing Silver Springs today.

230
00:14:37,758 --> 00:14:42,528
Some of the things that we have done so far are we just had Ants on a Log day.

231
00:14:42,708 --> 00:14:48,348
So we had a bunch of celery and peanut butter and raisins for people to go and pick

232
00:14:48,409 --> 00:14:51,018
up little ants on a log because it's National Ants on a Log Day.

233
00:14:51,078 --> 00:14:54,498
So everybody was super excited for that, and leadership held that.

234
00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:58,398
And then we had our second assembly. Everybody had a lot of fun.

235
00:14:58,458 --> 00:15:00,469
We had musical chairs. I got sat on.

236
00:15:02,388 --> 00:15:07,698
I did not win. Also, we just had our back-to-school night, which went great.

237
00:15:08,207 --> 00:15:12,348
Randy made spaghetti, per usual. Very good.

238
00:15:12,409 --> 00:15:16,788
And our culinary class actually ended up making that a seaweed for people.

239
00:15:17,178 --> 00:15:21,828
So everybody got to try that and see what culinary is really about now.

240
00:15:22,398 --> 00:15:25,788
And, oh, they also made chocolate chip cookies that were

241
00:15:29,568 --> 00:15:34,848
... Our football tournament is coming up September 18th, and I'm really excited

242
00:15:34,848 --> 00:15:38,148
about that. And the kids were getting super excited, like antsy.

243
00:15:38,208 --> 00:15:39,469
They're like, "When is this coming up?"

244
00:15:40,698 --> 00:15:44,778
Our OCI this year, kids not liking it. They'd probably rather stay out of it.

245
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,898
I'm one of them. It's fine.

246
00:15:50,058 --> 00:15:51,768
We do have something exciting, though.

247
00:15:51,979 --> 00:15:57,768
The first-ever Panther Pride pop-up is at Coffee Court on

248
00:15:57,858 --> 00:16:01,939
September 18th at 8:00 a.m., and it will be open to the public.

249
00:16:01,998 --> 00:16:07,818
So we invite you to come to Silver instead of going to Dutch Bros, and come

250
00:16:07,848 --> 00:16:12,318
help us just raise money to have more fun activities.

251
00:16:12,469 --> 00:16:16,939
We'll have coffee and pastries, and we're all really excited about that.

252
00:16:16,969 --> 00:16:22,128
And that's our culinary teacher for the school. So we're really excited about that.

253
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:24,708
But that's all I have. You guys have any questions?

254
00:16:24,828 --> 00:16:30,498
I do. So what is so different about OCI this year that's making it a no-go?

255
00:16:30,828 --> 00:16:34,038
Students are not allowed to do their classwork.

256
00:16:34,098 --> 00:16:38,868
In order to get out of OCI and not have another day of it, they have to complete a

257
00:16:38,958 --> 00:16:39,858
small program.

258
00:16:41,388 --> 00:16:46,308
As long as they get it done during the duration of OCI, then they're allowed to

259
00:16:46,458 --> 00:16:50,659
leave and not have it the next day. If you do not complete what you're given in

260
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:55,758
OCI, you have to do it again. And kids are like, "Well,

261
00:16:57,229 --> 00:17:01,909
there's no point in getting OCI," because a lot of kids skip class, get OCI'd, and

262
00:17:01,909 --> 00:17:07,788
then just do their work in OCI. So students now are like, "Oh, maybe I should

263
00:17:07,818 --> 00:17:08,719
miss class."

264
00:17:10,248 --> 00:17:11,598
But that's what's new about it.

265
00:17:12,048 --> 00:17:12,348
Awesome.

266
00:17:12,858 --> 00:17:14,238
Yeah. Any other questions?

267
00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,128
Sounds good.

268
00:17:16,189 --> 00:17:21,318
You guys go check out Luke and Tim's TikTok video. It's really great. I promise.

269
00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:23,388
Yeah. Good job, Abby.

270
00:17:23,448 --> 00:17:25,278
It's on mine.

271
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:26,238
It's on yours now?

272
00:17:27,018 --> 00:17:27,948
Yeah. Go watch it.

273
00:17:28,008 --> 00:17:29,568
They could use help. They have five likes.

274
00:17:29,899 --> 00:17:32,718
Okay, I'm on it. Got it. It's on the list.

275
00:17:33,978 --> 00:17:34,818
Thanks, Abigail.

276
00:17:34,938 --> 00:17:35,748
They have five, Tim.

277
00:17:37,428 --> 00:17:40,308
We checked. Let the record reflect there are five likes.

278
00:17:40,399 --> 00:17:41,659
Okay.

279
00:17:41,718 --> 00:17:42,708
We'll get that fixed

280
00:17:44,089 --> 00:17:46,818
Did you get that, Jamie? There are five likes on that video.

281
00:17:48,649 --> 00:17:48,918
I'll go-

282
00:17:52,818 --> 00:17:53,208
All right.

283
00:17:53,268 --> 00:17:56,568
Going viral. They're like, "Wait!"

284
00:17:56,568 --> 00:17:58,308
Retweet 160 times.

285
00:18:01,488 --> 00:18:02,118
To be clear.

286
00:18:02,358 --> 00:18:03,618
AI likes still count.

287
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:07,848
North Point, Kadoti?

288
00:18:13,728 --> 00:18:16,248
Hello, board members. Thank you so much for having me today.

289
00:18:16,339 --> 00:18:20,748
Unfortunately, our president, Jacqueline Anderson, could not make it today because

290
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:24,798
of a volleyball commitment. So my name's Brooke Holden, I'm vice president of

291
00:18:24,858 --> 00:18:29,358
Kadoti. Lately, all of our students have been getting back into their routine

292
00:18:29,448 --> 00:18:31,909
through schedules and of course, college classes.

293
00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:37,818
Fall sports are now in full swing. We have girls' volleyball, boys' soccer, and

294
00:18:37,848 --> 00:18:41,628
cross country teams all doing pretty well, which is really nice to hear.

295
00:18:42,318 --> 00:18:47,478
We don't have too many major fundraising events coming up so far, other than our

296
00:18:47,538 --> 00:18:49,548
first dance, which will be around Halloween.

297
00:18:50,958 --> 00:18:54,048
It takes the place of a traditional homecoming, since we won't have a football

298
00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:57,108
team, but that's about it for us. Any questions?

299
00:18:59,598 --> 00:19:00,768
No, thank you so much.

300
00:19:00,828 --> 00:19:02,688
Thank you.

301
00:19:02,958 --> 00:19:03,348
Bear River?

302
00:19:06,468 --> 00:19:09,888
Hello, guys. I don't know if you guys realize you're early this time.

303
00:19:13,008 --> 00:19:13,968
What's happening? All right.

304
00:19:15,228 --> 00:19:16,428
Bear River is pretty fun right now.

305
00:19:18,498 --> 00:19:22,518
Most fall sports are, I think, in league play this week, so that should be fun.

306
00:19:22,608 --> 00:19:26,839
I don't know if football is, but we've won the last two games, so hopefully it is.

307
00:19:26,958 --> 00:19:28,038
We've got to keep our momentum.

308
00:19:30,318 --> 00:19:35,868
And this week, we have our fifth annual Heroes Night game, where we are honoring

309
00:19:35,899 --> 00:19:39,918
local law enforcement and first responders and various agencies at the game.

310
00:19:41,358 --> 00:19:44,448
The ball comes in on a helicopter, so it's really cool if you guys haven't came to

311
00:19:44,508 --> 00:19:46,968
that. It's fun. That's this Friday.

312
00:19:49,248 --> 00:19:53,688
Let's see. I scrolled too far on accident. Okay. Homecoming is coming up.

313
00:19:53,778 --> 00:19:57,649
It's in like two weeks, I think, is Homecoming week, and our theme is

314
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:02,748
No Place Like Homecoming. And so, it's kind of like very punny.

315
00:20:02,808 --> 00:20:06,978
Our spirit days all have Home in the name, such as Home Run Day, which we wear

316
00:20:07,038 --> 00:20:10,848
jerseys, and Home of the Brave, where you wear USA stuff, and so on.

317
00:20:11,388 --> 00:20:15,768
And our dance theme is super original. It's Spider-Man.

318
00:20:16,308 --> 00:20:18,528
And I've never seen anyone do it before.

319
00:20:20,149 --> 00:20:25,128
And, so we're also having a movie night that week, and it's going to be Spider-Man

320
00:20:25,159 --> 00:20:27,858
Homecoming, which probably explains itself.

321
00:20:29,089 --> 00:20:32,298
The 40th anniversary of Bear River is this year.

322
00:20:32,538 --> 00:20:36,528
So this homecoming, we're going to do a big golf cart parade. We're hoping to.

323
00:20:36,589 --> 00:20:40,038
We're trying to coordinate it all with all the clubs and sports that are going on,

324
00:20:40,578 --> 00:20:44,149
and they'll have a golf cart and decorate it, and we'll have some alumni that are

325
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,698
significant in their sport or club.

326
00:20:47,298 --> 00:20:50,899
And that should be really cool, because 40 years is a lot of years.

327
00:20:51,498 --> 00:20:52,308
A lot more than I have.

328
00:20:54,078 --> 00:20:54,618
Next week,

329
00:20:55,967 --> 00:20:59,478
some leadership kids are going to Rockland with 17 other schools for some

330
00:20:59,537 --> 00:21:04,098
leadership conference, and we are hoping that we will network with other leadership

331
00:21:04,128 --> 00:21:07,998
programs, share ideas, and come back with some new things to try on our campus.

332
00:21:08,208 --> 00:21:11,538
So that should be really cool and hopefully very beneficial. And yeah.

333
00:21:13,248 --> 00:21:16,878
So the golf cart, is that Heroes Night or at Homecoming?

334
00:21:16,938 --> 00:21:17,568
That's Homecoming.

335
00:21:17,628 --> 00:21:17,928
Homecoming. Okay.

336
00:21:17,958 --> 00:21:19,909
So that will be September 25th-

337
00:21:20,418 --> 00:21:20,718
Got you

338
00:21:20,748 --> 00:21:22,098
... at 6:30, I believe.

339
00:21:22,578 --> 00:21:22,578
Okay.

340
00:21:22,638 --> 00:21:28,068
So it'll be before the game? Uh- The golf cart parade? Yes. Or maybe halftime.

341
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:30,828
Do you know? It'll be halftime. I think halftime.

342
00:21:30,888 --> 00:21:34,428
During the Homecoming event, which is halftime. Okay.

343
00:21:34,488 --> 00:21:37,368
And you guys usually announce your court during halftime as well. Yes.

344
00:21:37,728 --> 00:21:41,748
And the court, I forgot to mention, along with alumni being transported, it'll also

345
00:21:41,808 --> 00:21:42,918
be the courts. Yes.

346
00:21:43,339 --> 00:21:45,198
Rather than cars, they'll be in golf carts.

347
00:21:45,258 --> 00:21:45,438
Yes.

348
00:21:45,528 --> 00:21:46,008
Sweet.

349
00:21:46,578 --> 00:21:48,858
It should be really cool. Yes, 25th.

350
00:21:48,888 --> 00:21:49,848
Okay. Appreciate you.

351
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:51,738
Yeah, it'll be cool. All right.

352
00:21:52,278 --> 00:21:52,998
Thank you so much.

353
00:21:53,089 --> 00:21:53,778
Yeah, thank you.

354
00:21:56,358 --> 00:21:56,868
All right, and you?

355
00:22:03,108 --> 00:22:05,028
Hi, guys. Thanks for having me again.

356
00:22:05,358 --> 00:22:08,508
As you saw in the video from dance, Spider-Man Homecoming was a hit.

357
00:22:08,899 --> 00:22:12,168
Students really enjoyed all of our activities, and we had a great turnout at our

358
00:22:12,228 --> 00:22:15,378
dance. I think it was record-breaking ticket sales wise.

359
00:22:16,278 --> 00:22:19,968
And then last week we had Senior Sunrise on Friday, as well as our Neon

360
00:22:20,028 --> 00:22:22,698
Construction home football game, which was also a hit.

361
00:22:23,298 --> 00:22:27,378
This week we have a girls' flag football game and girls' volleyball game tomorrow

362
00:22:27,438 --> 00:22:31,998
night at home. We're also getting ready for Campus Rush, which is this Friday,

363
00:22:32,058 --> 00:22:35,748
where we have clubs and sports out by the library at lunch.

364
00:22:35,778 --> 00:22:38,388
They can advertise and fundraise for their programs.

365
00:22:38,928 --> 00:22:42,409
And then next week, we're excited for our senior trip to start getting a little bit

366
00:22:42,468 --> 00:22:46,758
of a rollout. And we also have another football game on that Friday, and it's going

367
00:22:46,788 --> 00:22:48,649
to be Heroes Night, so red, white, and blue.

368
00:22:49,128 --> 00:22:53,238
And then Saturday the 19th, we have senior parking spot painting, which is also

369
00:22:53,298 --> 00:22:57,258
super exciting. And then another thing that's going on is we're getting our student

370
00:22:57,318 --> 00:23:01,218
congress up and running again at the end of this month, which is basically where we

371
00:23:01,248 --> 00:23:05,388
can get input from the student body and just give a voice to everyone on campus.

372
00:23:06,048 --> 00:23:08,418
And that's pretty much it. You guys have any questions?

373
00:23:10,068 --> 00:23:11,958
No. Okay. Thanks for having me, guys.

374
00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:12,858
Thank you.

375
00:23:12,918 --> 00:23:13,339
Thank you.

376
00:23:23,508 --> 00:23:27,649
All right. Next up, we have public comment on non-agendized items.

377
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:32,268
This is the purpose of giving anyone in attendance the opportunity to comment on a

378
00:23:32,328 --> 00:23:36,589
non-agenda item. There's a three-minute time limit per person, 20-minute limit for

379
00:23:36,618 --> 00:23:37,308
this item.

380
00:23:40,248 --> 00:23:42,048
Remember, everyone, this is a recorded public meeting.

381
00:23:42,108 --> 00:23:45,678
We expect a level of decorum. We expect the item to be quiet and respectful during

382
00:23:45,708 --> 00:23:49,608
this time. Any of the trustees may only ask clarifying questions.

383
00:23:49,668 --> 00:23:54,498
And if you hear me say, "Time," please be respectful of everyone's time and finish

384
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:55,128
up your sentence.

385
00:23:56,688 --> 00:23:57,978
Okay. First up is Risa.

386
00:23:59,748 --> 00:24:02,178
We're on a first-name basis now, right y'all?

387
00:24:02,238 --> 00:24:02,928
Risa, probably.

388
00:24:04,698 --> 00:24:10,577
All right. Hi. I'm glad to see you all today, and tonight I

389
00:24:10,638 --> 00:24:14,058
bring an interesting, simple, respectful, and peaceful

390
00:24:16,428 --> 00:24:22,159
social experiment. So if y'all would humor me, this goes for everyone in the

391
00:24:22,248 --> 00:24:22,578
room.

392
00:24:24,048 --> 00:24:29,628
I ask that every white person in this room who would be happy to

393
00:24:29,659 --> 00:24:35,149
receive the same treatment that our Black and trans community members receive

394
00:24:35,568 --> 00:24:36,468
to stand up.

395
00:24:40,728 --> 00:24:42,498
That's a framed question, so-

396
00:24:42,558 --> 00:24:43,878
I'm sorry. In order

397
00:24:45,258 --> 00:24:46,038
please, order.

398
00:24:46,488 --> 00:24:47,268
I'll repeat it.

399
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:55,428
I don't think that this is any more clear, but I'll try this.

400
00:24:55,638 --> 00:25:00,678
If you would be happy to be treated the way Black and trans people are treated,

401
00:25:01,038 --> 00:25:01,968
then stand up.

402
00:25:06,108 --> 00:25:12,048
All right. Well, my question for you all is that this says very, very

403
00:25:12,108 --> 00:25:17,688
plainly that you know what is happening, that you don't want it for yourselves,

404
00:25:18,318 --> 00:25:22,308
and I wonder, why are you willing to accept this for others?

405
00:25:23,149 --> 00:25:28,909
Racism is a system. What we experience is called unconscious

406
00:25:28,968 --> 00:25:31,098
bias. It's not your fault.

407
00:25:32,418 --> 00:25:38,268
You are not to be blamed. It is inculturated into our society and taught

408
00:25:38,358 --> 00:25:43,998
to you quietly under the radar. The Psychology Today

409
00:25:44,058 --> 00:25:49,878
definition of unconscious bias reads as this, "Unconscious bias, also known

410
00:25:49,938 --> 00:25:55,698
as implicit bias, refers to unconscious forms of discrimination and stereotyping

411
00:25:56,268 --> 00:26:02,208
based on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, ability,

412
00:26:02,538 --> 00:26:08,358
age, and so on." This applies to our school system here,

413
00:26:09,108 --> 00:26:14,899
and the reason that students report not feeling safe at Nevada Union High School.

414
00:26:15,649 --> 00:26:16,188
Thank you.

415
00:26:17,448 --> 00:26:20,089
Thank you. Risa, next up is Becky Gillespie.

416
00:26:30,348 --> 00:26:35,328
Thank you. I actually had something different prepared for tonight, but then

417
00:26:36,828 --> 00:26:39,468
when I saw yesterday's newspaper,

418
00:26:40,878 --> 00:26:42,798
I changed what I was going to speak about today.

419
00:26:43,818 --> 00:26:48,708
So I want to instead tonight talk to you about argumentum ad verecundiam.

420
00:26:49,188 --> 00:26:53,154
How many of y'all are up on your Latin? Probably a little rusty.

421
00:26:53,965 --> 00:26:58,584
This is a logical fallacy most commonly known as fallacious appeal to authority.

422
00:26:59,245 --> 00:27:03,954
In organizational or professional settings, this behavior is seen as credentialism,

423
00:27:04,344 --> 00:27:09,294
which is relying too heavily on a formal title or degree to establish validity

424
00:27:09,745 --> 00:27:12,294
rather than the strength of the actual argument or evidence.

425
00:27:13,044 --> 00:27:18,174
It also is argument from authority, namely presenting an opinion as fact simply

426
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:23,665
because the person stating it holds a specific office or position, and it also can

427
00:27:23,694 --> 00:27:27,894
be pulling rank, such as using a higher organizational title to give an

428
00:27:27,924 --> 00:27:33,504
opinion, unearned superiority over

429
00:27:33,594 --> 00:27:38,814
others. Prior to Trustee Klein's arrival to the board, there was not an issue

430
00:27:38,874 --> 00:27:41,995
surrounding board members sharing their opinions with the public.

431
00:27:42,564 --> 00:27:46,074
Trustees would share that they are members of the board and share their

432
00:27:46,134 --> 00:27:51,475
representative areas. There was an understanding that any specific board role,

433
00:27:51,564 --> 00:27:57,174
whether secretary, vice president, or president, was not a title to be used to add

434
00:27:57,204 --> 00:28:02,844
authority to personal opinions. The title was used only for the role of leading the

435
00:28:02,904 --> 00:28:06,745
board meeting and representing the views of the entire board in a public setting.

436
00:28:08,004 --> 00:28:13,105
Under Trustee Klein, the title of president has become a moniker welded to give

437
00:28:13,194 --> 00:28:14,965
unwarranted weight to his opinions.

438
00:28:15,745 --> 00:28:19,764
It is not enough for him to express his opinions under his own name and trustee

439
00:28:19,884 --> 00:28:25,855
area. To quote Trustee Klein, he needs voters to know what office

440
00:28:25,915 --> 00:28:31,314
he holds. It is a shame that Trustee Klein has taken a nonpartisan position on the

441
00:28:31,374 --> 00:28:36,444
school board and turned it into a platform for elevating his own opinions, and it

442
00:28:36,475 --> 00:28:40,884
is a shame that the rest of this board is letting him do it. Thank you.

443
00:28:41,844 --> 00:28:42,774
Thank you for your comment.

444
00:28:44,124 --> 00:28:45,144
Helen Strange.

445
00:28:50,904 --> 00:28:56,334
I apologize for my out of the normal remark.

446
00:28:57,564 --> 00:29:03,534
I am in a multiracial family, so you might look at me and

447
00:29:03,594 --> 00:29:08,874
call me white. I'm part Black, hence the hair. All right.

448
00:29:09,384 --> 00:29:14,904
So it's important to not look at anyone and assume

449
00:29:14,995 --> 00:29:20,934
anything, hence your point about anybody insulting anyone

450
00:29:22,344 --> 00:29:26,004
for any reason. I've been insulted for being a white person.

451
00:29:26,814 --> 00:29:32,334
So this is a multilingual, multiracial

452
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:37,975
family, multicultural, multi-religious, Muslim,

453
00:29:38,454 --> 00:29:39,174
Christian,

454
00:29:41,484 --> 00:29:42,174
Mormon.

455
00:29:43,855 --> 00:29:49,764
Everything is in my family, okay? So the point here is, and I wish I had

456
00:29:49,794 --> 00:29:50,965
more than three minutes.

457
00:29:52,434 --> 00:29:58,014
And so I'm going to space it out. I'm going to be stopped at three minutes, but the

458
00:29:58,165 --> 00:30:03,054
idea of respectful debate, it's really important.

459
00:30:03,144 --> 00:30:08,725
Our country is founded on the ability to debate different points of view.

460
00:30:09,114 --> 00:30:13,855
Everyone in here, I'd be willing to bet, has a different point of view about

461
00:30:13,975 --> 00:30:15,624
everything. So

462
00:30:17,334 --> 00:30:23,004
instructing our children and ourselves, I saw how you very gracefully

463
00:30:23,094 --> 00:30:27,804
managed the request that the manual be changed.

464
00:30:28,105 --> 00:30:33,534
My question is, would you have been so adamant about changing

465
00:30:33,624 --> 00:30:38,605
it if whoever the person was that is expressing their opinion

466
00:30:39,804 --> 00:30:42,355
was saying something you agreed with? You see?

467
00:30:42,894 --> 00:30:43,194
So

468
00:30:45,594 --> 00:30:51,355
in the platform of debate, there needs to be ground rules, and that's

469
00:30:51,415 --> 00:30:54,834
why I don't know if this school has debating.

470
00:30:56,124 --> 00:31:02,034
There used to be, when I was growing up, debate teams, and each side

471
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:07,944
would take a side, and that person would research

472
00:31:08,064 --> 00:31:11,694
and read and carefully research their point of view.

473
00:31:12,384 --> 00:31:17,934
So, in that context, the children, well, they're not children, they're young

474
00:31:18,024 --> 00:31:22,704
adults. They're going to be going out into the world. Insults happen.

475
00:31:22,855 --> 00:31:26,484
I still get insulted, and I'm almost 80 years old.

476
00:31:26,934 --> 00:31:31,194
I've been insulted by people of darker skin assuming about me.

477
00:31:31,704 --> 00:31:35,904
I've been insulted by white people for being with Black people.

478
00:31:36,415 --> 00:31:42,144
I've been insulted in every-- but any adult here will tell you that once they're

479
00:31:42,204 --> 00:31:45,715
out in the world, insults happen. They happen.

480
00:31:46,044 --> 00:31:48,475
So what we're trying to learn how to do here

481
00:31:49,704 --> 00:31:54,444
is how do we gracefully handle that on both sides?

482
00:31:54,745 --> 00:31:55,194
Time.

483
00:31:55,314 --> 00:31:57,504
How do we learn

484
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:04,944
to stand in who we are? If I'm a so-called disabled

485
00:32:05,004 --> 00:32:06,864
person or if I'm a person-

486
00:32:06,894 --> 00:32:07,734
Time. That's time.

487
00:32:07,855 --> 00:32:08,094
Okay.

488
00:32:08,154 --> 00:32:08,454
Thank you.

489
00:32:08,514 --> 00:32:13,614
Sorry. But to be continued. I'm an observer and a listener.

490
00:32:14,034 --> 00:32:14,124
Thank you.

491
00:32:14,154 --> 00:32:16,584
So I'll just use my three minutes.

492
00:32:17,064 --> 00:32:18,084
Thank you for your comments.

493
00:32:18,594 --> 00:32:20,394
Next up is Shirley Fericks.

494
00:32:30,415 --> 00:32:34,314
Thank you. Shirley Fericks. I'm a community member. I just live over there.

495
00:32:36,534 --> 00:32:40,404
It's so much fun to come and listen to what the young people are doing.

496
00:32:41,484 --> 00:32:45,024
I observe and I go by every day, but I don't know what they're doing, and it's

497
00:32:45,054 --> 00:32:50,004
exciting. The most exciting for me is the culinary arts and how that's expanded,

498
00:32:50,484 --> 00:32:54,294
and the dance. I can't wait till the next performance because I've been to every

499
00:32:54,384 --> 00:32:58,194
one since I've lived here. It's so exciting to see.

500
00:32:58,644 --> 00:33:02,874
Anyway, so I sent a note to you probably, Ms.

501
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:07,855
Ozella, about High School Voter Education Week, September 14 to 25.

502
00:33:08,484 --> 00:33:13,134
Is that something that you participate in? Yes, our teachers do. Okay. They do.

503
00:33:13,674 --> 00:33:14,634
Good. Done.

504
00:33:15,923 --> 00:33:16,374
That's great.

505
00:33:18,475 --> 00:33:22,074
There's another thing I'm just going to mention here, and then I'll give it to you.

506
00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:23,754
It looks long, but it's not really.

507
00:33:25,014 --> 00:33:26,665
I work in the world with waste,

508
00:33:28,704 --> 00:33:32,004
trying to get rid of plastic and trying to get rid of trash.

509
00:33:32,484 --> 00:33:36,804
One of the things that I'm leading now is the Repair Cafe.

510
00:33:37,225 --> 00:33:38,424
Have you heard about the Repair Cafe?

511
00:33:39,324 --> 00:33:39,924
Yay.

512
00:33:40,344 --> 00:33:43,225
We're having a blast. Just everybody loves it.

513
00:33:43,284 --> 00:33:49,014
And my intention is next year to see if we can connect with young

514
00:33:49,074 --> 00:33:52,314
people here and have them come and mentor with our fixers.

515
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:58,134
Then they can just sit there and listen and ask questions and hope it becomes an

516
00:33:58,225 --> 00:34:02,304
educational thing as well. So the Repair Cafe is very fun.

517
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:07,824
This is about plastic. Which is my big subject, right?

518
00:34:08,574 --> 00:34:12,025
Exposing industry propaganda in US schools.

519
00:34:12,294 --> 00:34:16,165
I haven't a clue if this is here, but if somebody could have a peek through this,

520
00:34:17,484 --> 00:34:23,364
and see if it rings any bells here, because apparently, these major petroleum

521
00:34:23,454 --> 00:34:29,245
companies are infiltrating the schools to try and tell the students how wonderful

522
00:34:29,304 --> 00:34:34,614
plastic is. Nothing about the downsides of plastic. We all use it.

523
00:34:35,725 --> 00:34:38,364
I can't get away from it, as much as I might try.

524
00:34:38,934 --> 00:34:39,084
But,

525
00:34:40,374 --> 00:34:43,794
it's how do we minimize it? And I'm really happy I talked to

526
00:34:45,025 --> 00:34:50,904
the lady who does the school lunches, and I know she's really aware of minimizing

527
00:34:50,934 --> 00:34:53,964
the plastic and doing the salad bar and all that kind of stuff.

528
00:34:54,204 --> 00:34:59,124
That's a good thing. So I'm just going to leave this with you guys, and I'm glad

529
00:34:59,184 --> 00:35:03,984
we're going to do something about the voting, because we have statistics that show

530
00:35:04,074 --> 00:35:09,954
that those who register and start to vote early tend to continue throughout their

531
00:35:10,014 --> 00:35:15,414
lives. So I work with an environmental voter project, and that's part of what

532
00:35:15,474 --> 00:35:20,904
they-- and with the other civic center. So, that's good.

533
00:35:20,994 --> 00:35:25,284
And, I'm going to give you this, too. You can just see. Somebody mentioned AI.

534
00:35:25,434 --> 00:35:29,994
I don't know what you're doing with AI and how much you're allowing it in your

535
00:35:30,025 --> 00:35:33,384
schools and in your students. It's a big subject, apparently.

536
00:35:33,474 --> 00:35:37,764
But anyway, we'll look at that. Okay. Thank you very much.

537
00:35:43,614 --> 00:35:49,254
All right, moving on to course presentations. We have a bunch of bargaining units.

538
00:35:49,374 --> 00:35:49,974
Nobody's here.

539
00:35:50,394 --> 00:35:54,930
We don't, but MSBA did send in a written report It's brief.

540
00:35:56,221 --> 00:35:58,920
So this is from Ms. Good, representing NEWSTA.

541
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,430
"Sorry for my lack of attendance tonight. I'm not feeling all too well.

542
00:36:02,971 --> 00:36:05,820
I'd like to say thank you to all those who were able to attend back-to-school

543
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,250
nights at our schools. This year at N.U.

544
00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:12,150
we had many parents, and I was super happy to have senior parents show up.

545
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,300
Our home games for Bay River and N.U. are off and rolling.

546
00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:20,760
We look forward to seeing you support the students at our games.

547
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:23,610
The three-day weekend gave us a chance to relax, and now we are back at it.

548
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,880
I look forward to meeting with you all over the next couple of months.

549
00:36:27,420 --> 00:36:31,500
NEWSTA is also meeting with the possible candidates to interview them for possible

550
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,370
endorsement. We look forward to seeing what each one brings to the table and what

551
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,241
goals they have for our district. I will keep it short and sweet, and as always,

552
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:42,510
please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns."

553
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:46,140
All right. Anything from CSEA?

554
00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:47,340
Nothing from CSEA.

555
00:36:47,851 --> 00:36:48,330
All right.

556
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,910
Got to get on Kayla about that.

557
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:51,900
I know. I'm missing our-

558
00:36:51,930 --> 00:36:53,910
She was going to write

559
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:54,420
... meet the-

560
00:36:54,450 --> 00:36:55,620
She was sick last week. I'm not sure.

561
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,310
Oh, yeah, meet the-

562
00:36:56,790 --> 00:36:58,080
Meet the class fives?

563
00:36:58,140 --> 00:36:58,230
Mm-hmm.

564
00:36:58,650 --> 00:36:59,340
I'd love that.

565
00:37:00,991 --> 00:37:02,280
All right, Mr. Fizzella?

566
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:05,491
Yeah, I will. I know I always threaten, but I will be brief today.

567
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:06,900
Sure you will.

568
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,601
Short time span between our later August meeting and this month, so I don't have a

569
00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:16,800
ton to report. I'll just say we have been busy just school up and running.

570
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000
We're tired for September 9th because we've been in school for a month.

571
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,060
Pretty consuming has been our hiring process, so happy that Becky Glass...

572
00:37:27,210 --> 00:37:28,950
or Glass is here here also.

573
00:37:31,710 --> 00:37:36,630
Becky Brown is in the audience tonight, and that's in our consent agenda to approve

574
00:37:36,660 --> 00:37:40,440
the hire of Becky as our new director of CTE and state federal programs.

575
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,520
So she went through a pretty robust and long process. So congratulations, Becky.

576
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:48,060
I assume that's going to pass this evening, which is awesome.

577
00:37:49,380 --> 00:37:52,230
We have been up and running and getting into classrooms with our instructional

578
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,390
rounds, which has been absolutely amazing.

579
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,190
Every single time it's enriching to spend time in conversation with fellow

580
00:37:59,250 --> 00:38:03,360
colleagues, administrators, and teachers alike, and also seeing amazing things that

581
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,170
are happening in our classrooms. We've also, Kelly, Ms.

582
00:38:07,230 --> 00:38:11,580
Clark, has been on one of our facility tours at Silver Springs last week, so

583
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,580
hopefully that was enjoyable to you. We went into all the nooks and crannies.

584
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:19,020
And at least with the facility walks, I walk away with a list of things that need

585
00:38:19,050 --> 00:38:23,340
to be addressed, so that is a positive thing because we're seeing corners of the

586
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,530
campus that we wouldn't be seeing otherwise.

587
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,090
So those are up and running and going well.

588
00:38:27,601 --> 00:38:31,680
I know Trustee Welby was lined up and got sick, so sorry you had to miss.

589
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,050
One of the hotter topics amongst staff right now, and I bet if Ms.

590
00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:42,601
Good was here, it'd be in her report, but some of our challenges with new

591
00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:45,480
educational technology we've been using.

592
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,491
Google Classroom, we're supposed to be transitioning from Schoology as the learning

593
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,440
management system into Google Classroom.

594
00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:56,640
There have been some challenges along the way, most of which are navigable.

595
00:38:57,330 --> 00:39:02,221
We have a meeting next week with our leads, our site leads, to put all of the

596
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,749
questions or challenges or hurdles on the table and try to mitigate those with all

597
00:39:06,780 --> 00:39:10,680
of our experts in the room. And then we're likely going to be providing additional

598
00:39:10,739 --> 00:39:13,860
training at our September 30th staff development day.

599
00:39:14,430 --> 00:39:18,870
And then the other one is our EDA program, which is our attendance and math

600
00:39:18,930 --> 00:39:24,450
tutoring system. Just been some hiccups, but I'll just shout out to our attendance

601
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,050
team and math team that's trying to work through those challenges as well as Andrew

602
00:39:28,050 --> 00:39:33,090
and our tech team and Mr. Browning, who came to me in his first week of the job,

603
00:39:33,150 --> 00:39:36,660
"Who oversees educational technology?" And I was like, "The person who doesn't have

604
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,190
their hand up right now." And so it's Luke, but he's been diving in headfirst and

605
00:39:41,250 --> 00:39:44,760
taking some of those things on. And that's a transition to Luke.

606
00:39:44,820 --> 00:39:46,170
Do you want to share where you were today?

607
00:39:46,290 --> 00:39:49,741
It's not a superintendent report, but I think it's worth celebrating at the board

608
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,550
level tonight.

609
00:39:50,610 --> 00:39:56,250
Yeah. The district was invited to go to Citrus Heights today, and

610
00:39:56,491 --> 00:40:01,860
we presented at a catalyst summit for We Prosper Together, which is part of

611
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,660
California's Jobs First initiative.

612
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,120
There were eight counties that were represented, and there were about 300 people in

613
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:14,250
attendance, including county representatives, but also major donors,

614
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,200
organizations like SMUD.

615
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:21,120
Big organizations that are putting a lot of money into trying to get...

616
00:40:21,390 --> 00:40:24,721
Bosch was there. Some other big companies are trying to work on our pipeline to

617
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:30,330
employment. Because of the district's work with the RANCH project, we were actually

618
00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:35,910
highlighted as guest speakers. So Ellen was up on stage and presented

619
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:41,280
the project and actually was able to solicit some donations while she was there.

620
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,851
She never misses an opportunity, so it was fun to watch her in action.

621
00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:49,860
And then it was fun to sit with some of the major corporations that are trying to

622
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,630
pump money into the system. And I will tell you, a consistent message from every

623
00:40:54,690 --> 00:40:59,730
level was that they have to invest into the youth and not just at the college

624
00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:02,280
level, and so that was actually comforting to hear.

625
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,890
So we were well-represented, and it was an honor to be there.

626
00:41:05,370 --> 00:41:08,460
The headliner donations included? Sorry.

627
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:14,400
A larger sawmill than the one we currently have in operation.

628
00:41:15,150 --> 00:41:19,140
And then some kilns, which will allow us to dry and have a finished product.

629
00:41:20,130 --> 00:41:21,000
So just, yeah.

630
00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:22,351
Kilns for lumber?

631
00:41:22,351 --> 00:41:25,320
The lumber, yeah. Because right now we're processing green logs, and so this will

632
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,280
allow us to dry and have-

633
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,270
Awesome

634
00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:29,221
... a product that we can send this right.

635
00:41:30,540 --> 00:41:33,330
Cool. That's it for my update. Tag team update.

636
00:41:34,410 --> 00:41:34,920
All right.

637
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,050
Mr. Lal?

638
00:41:40,620 --> 00:41:41,190
No report.

639
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,230
All right.

640
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,090
Ms. Clark?

641
00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:47,580
Okay. Mine's kind of short, but

642
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:54,780
as Superintendent Fizzella mentioned, the facility walk at

643
00:41:54,810 --> 00:41:59,280
Silver Springs was really interesting to me because I got to see all these...

644
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,700
Well, one thing is because it's an older school, I got to go in all these little

645
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,930
special secret rooms and cubbies, and I really liked it,

646
00:42:08,250 --> 00:42:10,170
and learned of some of the history of that school.

647
00:42:10,741 --> 00:42:15,570
But what was really exciting was to see the new culinary facility.

648
00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:21,180
And Emily was there from Emily's Catering and explained the new

649
00:42:21,209 --> 00:42:25,529
instructional room with also a prep room, and then they cook in the kitchen.

650
00:42:26,190 --> 00:42:32,010
And just like in N.U. and Bay River, the culinary arts are really

651
00:42:32,190 --> 00:42:36,840
popular, and it's an asset to Silver Springs. I can see that.

652
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:38,851
The students are very excited about that.

653
00:42:38,910 --> 00:42:39,210
And

654
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,070
also just looking at all the athletic facilities.

655
00:42:44,130 --> 00:42:47,070
Like on the stage they have their

656
00:42:48,690 --> 00:42:51,510
exercise equipment and everything there. It's really nice.

657
00:42:52,650 --> 00:42:57,330
And then finally, we got to walk over to the garden and have some.

658
00:42:57,750 --> 00:43:02,280
I got some strawberries, just a couple, and a peach. I ate already.

659
00:43:02,310 --> 00:43:03,750
Me too. Yeah, it was really good.

660
00:43:03,810 --> 00:43:05,971
We were going to save it because it was a little hard, but actually it was really

661
00:43:06,030 --> 00:43:09,450
good. And then I learned about figs.

662
00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:14,221
I don't know if you're supposed to peel them or not, but that was a debate.

663
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,030
You're not.

664
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:16,830
You're not. Okay. But anyway.

665
00:43:16,830 --> 00:43:17,640
Unless you're Matt McCullough.

666
00:43:19,020 --> 00:43:24,241
It was really good. So I look forward to being able to attend the other

667
00:43:24,721 --> 00:43:29,460
facility tours. But I did see that

668
00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:35,640
on that tour, that there are a lot of things that they're doing, and Matt's heading

669
00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:40,380
that up. There are a lot of projects that need to be done, and it's never-ending.

670
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:41,250
And so

671
00:43:42,510 --> 00:43:46,650
I really appreciate seeing them improving the buildings, and that's really

672
00:43:46,650 --> 00:43:49,050
important. It was good for me to see that. That's it.

673
00:43:50,491 --> 00:43:51,420
About the garden-

674
00:43:51,570 --> 00:43:51,900
Mm-hmm

675
00:43:53,820 --> 00:43:58,770
... as far as the students working in the garden, is it a privilege or something

676
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,860
that they earn to do? Is it part of a garden club?

677
00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:04,290
They have a garden club.

678
00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:04,980
Oh, okay.

679
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:05,971
Mm-hmm. They do.

680
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,340
It's really nice.

681
00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:10,080
They have a

682
00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:15,601
peach tree. It's very mature. And the walnut, huge.

683
00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:18,690
They have a 40-foot walnut tree.

684
00:44:18,750 --> 00:44:18,991
Yeah. It's insane.

685
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,851
Just loaded with walnuts. And it is I think there might be a second one.

686
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,020
There's one massive one.

687
00:44:25,020 --> 00:44:28,351
There might be another one over... That's the big one that overshadows that one.

688
00:44:28,471 --> 00:44:29,610
It is part of the club, and then

689
00:44:31,140 --> 00:44:34,380
Julie, now she doesn't have a class anymore, but she used to bring her classes over

690
00:44:34,410 --> 00:44:34,860
there, too.

691
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:35,310
Okay.

692
00:44:35,310 --> 00:44:38,340
And I don't know if you remember, we had a nice image of them making tea bags out

693
00:44:38,370 --> 00:44:39,120
of their herbs.

694
00:44:39,870 --> 00:44:43,290
I was going to ask if those leaves came from the garden as well.

695
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,310
They did. Yeah.

696
00:44:45,060 --> 00:44:45,690
It's beautiful.

697
00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:48,690
And the strawberries were really good.

698
00:44:49,110 --> 00:44:52,110
I didn't want to take too many because obviously they don't belong to me.

699
00:44:52,620 --> 00:44:54,420
But I did take three.

700
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:56,880
You did it in the name of-

701
00:44:57,241 --> 00:44:57,960
I just picked it.

702
00:44:58,110 --> 00:44:58,590
In the name of tea.

703
00:44:58,620 --> 00:44:59,940
Yes. It's okay.

704
00:44:59,971 --> 00:45:00,510
It's quality.

705
00:45:00,601 --> 00:45:04,170
Yes, it was. It was really good. Loved it. Yeah.

706
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,660
Silver Springs is an awesome school.

707
00:45:09,765 --> 00:45:10,635
All right, Ms. Pritchett.

708
00:45:12,195 --> 00:45:17,655
I don't have too much to add either since it has just been a few weeks since we

709
00:45:17,715 --> 00:45:23,205
last met. But I did want to acknowledge that over at Nevada Union,

710
00:45:24,616 --> 00:45:28,545
the football team did their teacher appreciation

711
00:45:29,805 --> 00:45:31,935
last week. And so all of the

712
00:45:33,795 --> 00:45:39,645
varsity athletes had an opportunity to nominate a

713
00:45:39,735 --> 00:45:44,835
teacher or staff member who makes a minor difference in a major way.

714
00:45:45,585 --> 00:45:51,045
And it was really great because they can nominate these teachers or staff members.

715
00:45:52,366 --> 00:45:56,715
The staff member or teacher will get a shirt that says, "Making a difference in a

716
00:45:56,775 --> 00:45:59,835
minor way," with the athlete's name on the back.

717
00:46:00,255 --> 00:46:04,635
And then there's a big reveal the week of the game, so then they find out which

718
00:46:04,755 --> 00:46:07,635
athlete nominated them, and then why.

719
00:46:07,785 --> 00:46:11,955
And it was really great because a lot of the teachers really were trying to shake

720
00:46:11,985 --> 00:46:13,096
me down to figure out

721
00:46:14,715 --> 00:46:20,055
who nominated them. But I thought it was really special to kick off the year

722
00:46:20,116 --> 00:46:22,185
because you're thinking, "Well, the year just started.

723
00:46:22,215 --> 00:46:26,685
How do we know?" You become varsity, you know who's helped you make a difference

724
00:46:26,715 --> 00:46:31,605
and get through, as you become a junior, senior. So that was really neat to do.

725
00:46:32,235 --> 00:46:36,915
And I think the other thing that I really just wanted to celebrate is

726
00:46:37,905 --> 00:46:43,846
girls flag football. So if you have not been to a game yet, they're quite fun,

727
00:46:44,415 --> 00:46:44,745
and I

728
00:46:46,034 --> 00:46:49,635
think it's a great celebration to have this opportunity.

729
00:46:49,726 --> 00:46:54,105
It is our first year having it, and they're figuring it out, and they're doing

730
00:46:54,165 --> 00:46:59,985
well. So definitely check out the games on either Tuesdays

731
00:47:00,045 --> 00:47:03,195
or Thursdays and sometimes even Friday.

732
00:47:04,096 --> 00:47:09,346
But definitely celebrate the ladies.

733
00:47:09,645 --> 00:47:09,735
Is there one tomorrow?

734
00:47:09,795 --> 00:47:12,135
There is one tomorrow at home.

735
00:47:12,226 --> 00:47:12,405
Great.

736
00:47:12,435 --> 00:47:13,366
Bring your hot dog.

737
00:47:15,645 --> 00:47:17,116
Cheer on the Lady Miners.

738
00:47:19,545 --> 00:47:19,965
All right.

739
00:47:20,866 --> 00:47:23,265
I think it's the chair. No report.

740
00:47:24,945 --> 00:47:26,715
All right. I have none either.

741
00:47:28,605 --> 00:47:32,685
All right, I'll move on to the consideration of the consent agenda.

742
00:47:34,485 --> 00:47:35,355
Any alterations?

743
00:47:36,075 --> 00:47:36,645
There are none.

744
00:47:37,995 --> 00:47:40,815
All right. Can I get a motion to approve the consent?

745
00:47:40,995 --> 00:47:41,535
So moved.

746
00:47:41,565 --> 00:47:42,195
And a second?

747
00:47:43,905 --> 00:47:44,355
Second.

748
00:47:45,045 --> 00:47:47,745
I just had to note acceptance of donations.

749
00:47:48,135 --> 00:47:52,335
Rick Luttrell donated two breeding sows. Is that right?

750
00:47:52,665 --> 00:47:53,055
Yeah.

751
00:47:53,655 --> 00:47:56,116
Okay. I was wondering if they were $2 each.

752
00:47:56,295 --> 00:47:56,565
Nope.

753
00:47:56,745 --> 00:47:58,215
Because I saw the dollar sign. I was like, "Wow."

754
00:47:58,275 --> 00:48:01,335
I think it's just blank. Yeah, they're more than that.

755
00:48:02,596 --> 00:48:03,075
A little bit more than that.

756
00:48:03,105 --> 00:48:04,485
Especially breeding sows.

757
00:48:04,575 --> 00:48:06,675
What's the tax write-off on that, Mr. Reid?

758
00:48:07,846 --> 00:48:10,545
Well, this one here, $0.

759
00:48:10,635 --> 00:48:13,935
Okay. We should assign a value and get it-

760
00:48:14,145 --> 00:48:15,915
The value of a sow is more than $2.

761
00:48:16,395 --> 00:48:16,726
Correct.

762
00:48:17,835 --> 00:48:17,925
Mm-hmm.

763
00:48:19,995 --> 00:48:20,955
All right. Then we leave it at that.

764
00:48:21,015 --> 00:48:21,645
There's a range.

765
00:48:22,094 --> 00:48:23,205
I would assume that's it.

766
00:48:23,835 --> 00:48:24,885
For the record, what's the range?

767
00:48:25,094 --> 00:48:26,116
600 to 2,500.

768
00:48:26,175 --> 00:48:27,855
That's a pretty good range.

769
00:48:27,915 --> 00:48:30,226
And how many litters will they have?

770
00:48:31,215 --> 00:48:34,635
Depends on how old they are, but they will have two litters a year.

771
00:48:35,295 --> 00:48:40,785
So starting soon. They bred them this week,

772
00:48:41,205 --> 00:48:44,505
actually. So three months, three weeks, and three days, you'll have some pigs.

773
00:48:45,045 --> 00:48:45,705
So tell Ellen-

774
00:48:46,455 --> 00:48:46,695
Yep

775
00:48:46,695 --> 00:48:47,505
... we'll be there then.

776
00:48:47,535 --> 00:48:48,105
Perfect. Got it.

777
00:48:48,135 --> 00:48:48,825
For the base.

778
00:48:48,885 --> 00:48:49,635
We'll do bacon.

779
00:48:51,226 --> 00:48:51,405
Bacon.

780
00:48:51,435 --> 00:48:56,715
All right. We have the Pendale Community Rodeo Association gave $3,000 to the

781
00:48:56,775 --> 00:48:59,116
Pendale Community Rodeo Association Scholarship Fund.

782
00:48:59,805 --> 00:49:04,065
Nevada Union High School Associated Student Body gave $1,200 to the CSF Scholarship

783
00:49:04,125 --> 00:49:10,005
Fund. PVS Distributing gave $500 to the Bear River

784
00:49:10,065 --> 00:49:15,435
High School ASB. Hansen Bros. gave $500 to Bear River High School volleyball.

785
00:49:19,515 --> 00:49:22,065
Then we have a few different joint ventures,

786
00:49:23,625 --> 00:49:26,955
risk cover authorizations, some MOUs, and

787
00:49:28,846 --> 00:49:33,285
personnel change. So all in favor of approving the consent agenda as it is, say

788
00:49:33,346 --> 00:49:33,616
aye.

789
00:49:34,395 --> 00:49:34,395
Uh-

790
00:49:34,485 --> 00:49:36,735
Oops, roll call. It's a roll call. It's always a roll call here.

791
00:49:36,765 --> 00:49:36,765
Okay.

792
00:49:36,945 --> 00:49:38,835
So I don't know why I think it's different tonight.

793
00:49:40,005 --> 00:49:40,515
Trustee Lowell?

794
00:49:41,235 --> 00:49:41,385
Aye.

795
00:49:41,745 --> 00:49:42,346
Trustee Clark?

796
00:49:42,525 --> 00:49:42,675
Aye.

797
00:49:42,825 --> 00:49:43,515
Trustee Pritchett?

798
00:49:43,995 --> 00:49:44,116
Aye.

799
00:49:44,235 --> 00:49:44,866
Trustee Willoughby?

800
00:49:44,985 --> 00:49:45,165
Aye.

801
00:49:45,226 --> 00:49:45,825
President Klein?

802
00:49:46,125 --> 00:49:46,335
Aye.

803
00:49:51,645 --> 00:49:54,105
All right, moving on to the public hearing.

804
00:49:55,575 --> 00:50:00,915
Yeah. So this is an annual requirement to have a public hearing on the sufficiency

805
00:50:00,945 --> 00:50:05,265
of instructional materials. The board will vote on a resolution or approve a

806
00:50:05,295 --> 00:50:06,315
resolution, hopefully,

807
00:50:07,575 --> 00:50:09,765
in our discussion action items, item number two.

808
00:50:10,635 --> 00:50:15,885
We properly noticed the public about a hearing, so there's no public comment that's

809
00:50:15,915 --> 00:50:19,815
been submitted. And we don't have any red flags with the availability of

810
00:50:19,846 --> 00:50:21,795
instructional materials in any of our schools.

811
00:50:22,665 --> 00:50:27,075
So this item is to hear from the public, and we don't have any public on the

812
00:50:27,135 --> 00:50:28,455
matter, so we can probably move on.

813
00:50:30,616 --> 00:50:32,596
Moving on to discussion and action items.

814
00:50:32,685 --> 00:50:37,395
Our first one up is the student board handbook. Mr. Lowell?

815
00:50:38,775 --> 00:50:42,435
Yeah. Are we going to display it or should I just talk through it?

816
00:50:43,185 --> 00:50:46,815
I think you probably need to talk through it unless Miguel wants to scramble and

817
00:50:46,846 --> 00:50:47,895
get it displayed.

818
00:50:48,795 --> 00:50:50,175
We all pretty much have it. I think you're good.

819
00:50:50,325 --> 00:50:50,596
Yeah.

820
00:50:50,655 --> 00:50:55,605
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, just to do some updates to the student board handbook, just so

821
00:50:55,665 --> 00:50:56,295
it's all

822
00:50:57,555 --> 00:50:58,155
updated and

823
00:51:00,226 --> 00:51:05,925
just all makes sense. There were no big things. It was really just some links.

824
00:51:06,945 --> 00:51:09,885
If you look on page three, there's two links that are updated

825
00:51:11,235 --> 00:51:13,846
up top, and then three more down below.

826
00:51:15,346 --> 00:51:19,815
Everyone's names are updated. Took out the email and password, just because it

827
00:51:20,326 --> 00:51:22,245
isn't really needed information-wise.

828
00:51:24,375 --> 00:51:27,346
Updated another link. Updated another link.

829
00:51:28,606 --> 00:51:34,574
Replaced Duane with Andrew Klein, just to update things.

830
00:51:36,435 --> 00:51:39,195
We do have a typo in Klein's spelling.

831
00:51:39,226 --> 00:51:39,856
Oh, is it?

832
00:51:39,945 --> 00:51:40,155
Yeah.

833
00:51:40,365 --> 00:51:40,754
Oh, no.

834
00:51:41,266 --> 00:51:41,596
It's all right.

835
00:51:41,625 --> 00:51:42,495
One of the ladies-

836
00:51:42,555 --> 00:51:45,465
That's right. That's correct. Oh, the other one. I saw, yeah.

837
00:51:46,065 --> 00:51:46,065
Where?

838
00:51:46,125 --> 00:51:47,685
It happens down below in the other spot.

839
00:51:47,685 --> 00:51:49,365
Where you replaced with Duane?

840
00:51:50,085 --> 00:51:51,165
Oh, yeah.

841
00:51:51,165 --> 00:51:53,625
Yeah, the next page, actually. Oh, sorry.

842
00:51:53,625 --> 00:51:54,195
Can we see it again?

843
00:51:55,516 --> 00:51:55,785
Yes.

844
00:51:56,025 --> 00:51:57,226
Well, we can approve it with the-

845
00:51:57,315 --> 00:51:58,726
Yeah, we're not too worried about it.

846
00:52:00,525 --> 00:52:01,215
Yeah, and then...

847
00:52:07,335 --> 00:52:08,476
I think one more page down.

848
00:52:12,735 --> 00:52:13,215
There we go.

849
00:52:14,476 --> 00:52:17,685
Keep going. You're almost there. No, down. A little bit more.

850
00:52:18,976 --> 00:52:19,215
There we

851
00:52:20,476 --> 00:52:20,565
go.

852
00:52:20,625 --> 00:52:23,356
Yeah. So Andrew Klein, and then nothing else changed.

853
00:52:25,275 --> 00:52:26,715
Yeah, so that's where the misspelling is.

854
00:52:27,585 --> 00:52:29,085
Wait, what? Is that how you spell it?

855
00:52:29,145 --> 00:52:33,826
Yeah, it's the old German way, K-L-E-I-N. Yeah. That's okay.

856
00:52:35,326 --> 00:52:36,285
Yeah, and then there's nothing else.

857
00:52:36,346 --> 00:52:37,215
If you keep scrolling up

858
00:52:39,885 --> 00:52:43,695
top a little bit, there's the username and password for the

859
00:52:45,016 --> 00:52:47,685
SWIS system. I don't believe we need that.

860
00:52:48,045 --> 00:52:50,476
I never got that, and it hasn't been an issue.

861
00:52:51,795 --> 00:52:52,905
Sent via email.

862
00:52:53,596 --> 00:52:54,346
Oh, I didn't get that.

863
00:52:55,815 --> 00:53:00,226
Okay, I didn't think it was necessary. We can also put it back on.

864
00:53:01,665 --> 00:53:04,695
It's another thing that it isn't necessarily information for the public.

865
00:53:04,785 --> 00:53:08,955
It's more of internal things, so a couple of things removed because of that.

866
00:53:09,255 --> 00:53:09,856
That makes sense.

867
00:53:10,485 --> 00:53:14,805
Yeah, and then if you scroll down a little bit, three more updated links.

868
00:53:15,525 --> 00:53:16,455
A little bit more.

869
00:53:19,455 --> 00:53:24,555
It's all the same. One more updated link. I believe this was updated.

870
00:53:24,585 --> 00:53:28,935
That's what Jamie told me. So it's not five times per year.

871
00:53:29,025 --> 00:53:30,405
Instead, I changed it to quarterly,

872
00:53:31,635 --> 00:53:32,715
reflecting new laws.

873
00:53:34,096 --> 00:53:35,895
And then a little bit more.

874
00:53:39,076 --> 00:53:43,665
It's just updated to say 2024 through 2027, so those aren't changing.

875
00:53:45,076 --> 00:53:45,856
Updated link.

876
00:54:16,305 --> 00:54:18,645
Yeah, Robertson's order, nothing changed.

877
00:54:20,565 --> 00:54:22,215
I believe there's a couple more.

878
00:54:23,895 --> 00:54:29,596
Then, that bill, just so we don't have to update it every year, just the dates are

879
00:54:29,655 --> 00:54:34,455
taken out that had it last a longer amount of time.

880
00:54:34,516 --> 00:54:40,096
And then one last page, and that's the same thing as internal documents and wasn't

881
00:54:40,185 --> 00:54:42,375
able to for information-wise.

882
00:54:43,665 --> 00:54:48,405
Yeah, so not a bunch of substantive changes, just keeping things updated.

883
00:54:49,005 --> 00:54:51,525
The only thing that I noticed was in the Brown Act-

884
00:54:52,125 --> 00:54:52,245
Yeah

885
00:54:52,365 --> 00:54:56,625
... section, it says here, "The Brown Act prevents board members from discussing

886
00:54:56,715 --> 00:55:01,455
policy privately. Having a discussion with a board member over social media, i.e.,

887
00:55:01,545 --> 00:55:06,675
Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, or email concerning a policy is prohibited by this

888
00:55:06,766 --> 00:55:07,125
law."

889
00:55:08,326 --> 00:55:11,295
But actually- Yeah. You know the

890
00:55:15,405 --> 00:55:17,385
serial meeting rules portion of that?

891
00:55:17,476 --> 00:55:19,545
Yeah, you can meet, just can't do the-

892
00:55:20,235 --> 00:55:21,106
Three or more

893
00:55:21,135 --> 00:55:22,785
... yeah. Okay, so yeah, I can do-

894
00:55:23,175 --> 00:55:23,685
I would update-

895
00:55:24,255 --> 00:55:24,405
Yeah

896
00:55:24,705 --> 00:55:25,035
... we'll get

897
00:55:26,326 --> 00:55:26,805
For sure.

898
00:55:29,535 --> 00:55:33,826
Yeah, and then no, I got to finish this part. And then RDA.

899
00:55:34,815 --> 00:55:35,775
That was in the old one, right?

900
00:55:36,405 --> 00:55:38,205
This was new. I didn't change RDA

901
00:55:39,405 --> 00:55:41,895
list. No, I didn't write any of the-- Yeah.

902
00:55:42,016 --> 00:55:42,405
Got it.

903
00:55:42,465 --> 00:55:45,405
Thanks for the change. Is there a way to-

904
00:55:46,335 --> 00:55:46,485
Yeah

905
00:55:46,485 --> 00:55:47,865
... Google direct a couple things?

906
00:55:47,925 --> 00:55:52,215
No, I think we could actually just simply say we can approve the serial meeting.

907
00:55:53,266 --> 00:55:58,275
In fact, I'll make a motion to approve the student handbook status

908
00:55:59,385 --> 00:56:00,945
with the suggested amendment of

909
00:56:04,035 --> 00:56:06,856
just adding the reference to the serial meeting section of the Brown Act.

910
00:56:07,065 --> 00:56:07,395
Okay. Yeah.

911
00:56:07,425 --> 00:56:08,775
And then do you want to change the name, too?

912
00:56:09,165 --> 00:56:09,826
Yeah. Let's do that.

913
00:56:09,826 --> 00:56:10,815
Let's do that as a motion.

914
00:56:10,875 --> 00:56:11,235
There we go.

915
00:56:12,495 --> 00:56:13,096
Awesome. Cool.

916
00:56:13,395 --> 00:56:14,115
Maybe a second.

917
00:56:15,375 --> 00:56:15,675
Second.

918
00:56:17,955 --> 00:56:19,155
Any other discussion on this?

919
00:56:21,195 --> 00:56:23,415
All right. All in favor of approving the student handbook, say aye.

920
00:56:23,835 --> 00:56:24,016
Aye.

921
00:56:24,045 --> 00:56:24,495
Aye.

922
00:56:24,976 --> 00:56:26,925
Any against? The ayes have it.

923
00:56:35,235 --> 00:56:40,395
Moving on to resolution number 2 2627, sufficiency of instructional materials.

924
00:56:41,235 --> 00:56:46,035
Yeah, as was noted, essentially our process is that we work through our department

925
00:56:46,125 --> 00:56:51,495
leads at each school site, just to verify that we have enough copies of materials

926
00:56:53,565 --> 00:56:56,895
to meet the needs of the school and the department and for the students.

927
00:56:56,985 --> 00:57:02,205
And this is a process required by law that we go through every year to ensure that

928
00:57:02,266 --> 00:57:07,335
we do have enough textbooks for students. And there were no issues this year.

929
00:57:07,425 --> 00:57:11,596
Every so often year over year, we maybe have someone who says, "No, we really do,

930
00:57:11,685 --> 00:57:17,625
we're short on biology texts or whatnot." And so there are no red flags,

931
00:57:17,835 --> 00:57:23,295
and everything has been verified, and so we do need the board to take action on a

932
00:57:23,356 --> 00:57:23,985
resolution.

933
00:57:25,905 --> 00:57:26,955
Do you have the resolution number?

934
00:57:27,016 --> 00:57:31,695
Yeah, resolution number 2-2627, and staff recommends approval.

935
00:57:32,535 --> 00:57:35,356
Can we get a motion to approve resolution number 2-2627?

936
00:57:35,625 --> 00:57:36,016
So moved.

937
00:57:36,405 --> 00:57:37,005
And a second?

938
00:57:37,516 --> 00:57:37,815
Second.

939
00:57:38,266 --> 00:57:39,255
Any discussion on this?

940
00:57:41,025 --> 00:57:42,645
Roll call, Trustee Lal.

941
00:57:43,665 --> 00:57:43,875
Aye.

942
00:57:44,055 --> 00:57:44,685
Trustee Clark.

943
00:57:44,775 --> 00:57:44,955
Aye.

944
00:57:45,255 --> 00:57:45,915
Trustee Pritchett.

945
00:57:46,185 --> 00:57:46,395
Aye.

946
00:57:46,455 --> 00:57:47,175
Trustee Hogan.

947
00:57:47,205 --> 00:57:47,385
Aye.

948
00:57:47,745 --> 00:57:48,435
And President Klein.

949
00:57:48,645 --> 00:57:48,856
Aye.

950
00:57:50,775 --> 00:57:53,445
Moves us to resolution number 3-2627.

951
00:57:54,735 --> 00:57:59,266
Yeah, so we're bringing this resolution forward authorizing the district to retain

952
00:57:59,535 --> 00:58:04,545
Block Legal Group, Jeremy Fights, attorney at law, and

953
00:58:04,606 --> 00:58:10,365
Law Office of David Bush to potentially represent the district in

954
00:58:10,455 --> 00:58:13,516
litigation against some of the major social media companies.

955
00:58:14,415 --> 00:58:19,035
There are lawsuits that are being won by various states and school districts across

956
00:58:19,065 --> 00:58:19,665
the country.

957
00:58:21,346 --> 00:58:26,685
We are working in collaboration with our other county colleagues, other

958
00:58:27,226 --> 00:58:32,745
K-8 school districts, on the recommendation of one of our county superintendents

959
00:58:32,805 --> 00:58:38,745
who is an attorney. And so we're all moving in a coordinated effort.

960
00:58:40,335 --> 00:58:45,195
It's not a class action lawsuit, but it is something that districts are

961
00:58:45,255 --> 00:58:51,165
coordinating on. So our first step is to be granted authority to engage with the

962
00:58:51,226 --> 00:58:56,565
firm. Our next steps are going to be to collect a list of potential damages, and

963
00:58:57,016 --> 00:59:02,655
promptly move forward in litigation and try to win some

964
00:59:02,715 --> 00:59:07,275
damages in terms of financial loss to the district that have come as a result of

965
00:59:07,815 --> 00:59:11,805
student addiction to social media and such. So we're early in the process.

966
00:59:11,895 --> 00:59:15,346
We've had one meeting as county superintendents to get the lay of the land.

967
00:59:15,976 --> 00:59:19,455
This would be step one for us, and then I'd be returning to the board back in

968
00:59:19,516 --> 00:59:22,545
closed session to take further steps in litigation.

969
00:59:25,185 --> 00:59:29,835
Can we get a motion to approve resolution 3-2627?

970
00:59:30,315 --> 00:59:30,735
So moved.

971
00:59:30,976 --> 00:59:31,576
And a second?

972
00:59:32,205 --> 00:59:32,625
Second.

973
00:59:33,795 --> 00:59:34,305
I know that

974
00:59:36,645 --> 00:59:38,115
in discussion items there was

975
00:59:39,495 --> 00:59:43,846
signed here section five approval of contingency fee agreement, but I'm not seeing

976
00:59:43,875 --> 00:59:44,205
any

977
00:59:45,795 --> 00:59:48,675
contingency percentage and expenses are fair and reasonable under the

978
00:59:48,735 --> 00:59:51,585
circumstances, and there's nothing stating anything-

979
00:59:51,705 --> 00:59:55,335
Yeah, the resolution just allows us to move forward, and then there would be a

980
00:59:55,425 --> 01:00:01,035
contract that we engage with the firm in terms of a percentage of damages that

981
01:00:02,085 --> 01:00:05,835
are awarded to the firm if there's positive outcome.

982
01:00:06,195 --> 01:00:06,555
Okay.

983
01:00:06,585 --> 01:00:12,315
And would that be to follow on your question, would that be then negotiated

984
01:00:13,125 --> 01:00:18,615
district by district, not as a collective, since it feels like it can move forward

985
01:00:18,675 --> 01:00:19,425
as a collective, but-

986
01:00:19,965 --> 01:00:22,846
This gives you the power to negotiate that fee contingency-

987
01:00:23,055 --> 01:00:24,016
Yes. That's what I was saying.

988
01:00:24,106 --> 01:00:24,435
Okay.

989
01:00:26,596 --> 01:00:28,635
Okay. I'm fine with that.

990
01:00:31,425 --> 01:00:32,115
And so are

991
01:00:33,465 --> 01:00:38,745
all of the other districts attempting to pass a resolution pretty much in the same

992
01:00:38,805 --> 01:00:39,255
timeframe?

993
01:00:39,735 --> 01:00:44,085
So Penn Valley has adopted a resolution. Union Hill has adopted a resolution.

994
01:00:44,985 --> 01:00:49,155
Nevada City, since Mr. Shirley granted the position, was a little overwhelmed.

995
01:00:49,185 --> 01:00:52,965
He pumped the brakes. Trustee Villescaz from the school district is having a

996
01:00:52,995 --> 01:00:56,625
dialogue about it, but I don't think he's bringing the resolution forward for

997
01:00:56,655 --> 01:00:59,835
adoption yet. So there are three of us.

998
01:01:01,455 --> 01:01:05,055
Can't speak to Chicago Park. I imagine they're moving forward.

999
01:01:05,175 --> 01:01:08,326
I think the other two are moving forward, but I haven't had the conversations to

1000
01:01:08,356 --> 01:01:08,715
confirm.

1001
01:01:09,016 --> 01:01:10,785
Okay.

1002
01:01:10,875 --> 01:01:12,735
I'm not the biggest fan of being litigious, but

1003
01:01:15,285 --> 01:01:19,065
also not the biggest fan of a lot of the issues that have popped up because of

1004
01:01:19,995 --> 01:01:20,805
gaming and all that, so

1005
01:01:22,726 --> 01:01:24,645
I'll be voting yes on this one.

1006
01:01:26,685 --> 01:01:29,055
Any other comments? Any other discussion?

1007
01:01:30,375 --> 01:01:34,665
One other question. I'm assuming we're leaving it to you, and there wouldn't need

1008
01:01:34,726 --> 01:01:39,735
to be an approval process around the list of items that would qualify for damages.

1009
01:01:40,755 --> 01:01:42,645
There shouldn't be an approval process for that.

1010
01:01:42,735 --> 01:01:47,895
And we'll be sure to be exhaustive with, we'll be working with our principals and

1011
01:01:47,985 --> 01:01:52,665
district admin team to go through really probably from COVID forward,

1012
01:01:53,925 --> 01:01:58,965
just looking at additional costs such as mental health therapists,

1013
01:01:59,775 --> 01:02:04,995
intervention supports. I'm thinking some of our facility damages that were results

1014
01:02:05,055 --> 01:02:07,096
of TikTok trends coming out of COVID.

1015
01:02:08,985 --> 01:02:12,375
There are attendance efforts, I guess, that can be documented because school

1016
01:02:12,435 --> 01:02:15,165
engagement has been noted as an impact.

1017
01:02:15,976 --> 01:02:21,405
Really most anything that's mental health related can be included.

1018
01:02:21,826 --> 01:02:27,645
So we'll make sure we have some thoughtful folks on the team, and we'll be a very

1019
01:02:27,705 --> 01:02:28,545
competent voice.

1020
01:02:29,025 --> 01:02:31,185
How much discovery time is this going to take?

1021
01:02:32,326 --> 01:02:33,585
I don't know timelines.

1022
01:02:34,035 --> 01:02:40,005
It could be a long time. But will it be brought before the board

1023
01:02:40,755 --> 01:02:43,275
to be in contract with them, right?

1024
01:02:43,335 --> 01:02:44,805
This is-

1025
01:02:45,165 --> 01:02:48,375
This is it, and then the fee will decide?

1026
01:02:48,435 --> 01:02:50,625
There will be no out-of-pocket fees.

1027
01:02:50,685 --> 01:02:52,905
The way this reads, if it's a-

1028
01:02:53,775 --> 01:02:54,405
It is

1029
01:02:54,405 --> 01:02:57,435
... successful litigation, then the attorney fees are covered in that.

1030
01:03:00,645 --> 01:03:05,505
Before we move forward with something, I believe I'm going to report action, and

1031
01:03:05,655 --> 01:03:09,195
since it's a legal matter, that actually will be taken in closed session.

1032
01:03:10,096 --> 01:03:14,985
So we'll be able to have further discussion before we actually move forward with

1033
01:03:15,106 --> 01:03:15,826
litigation.

1034
01:03:17,085 --> 01:03:19,485
I might suggest that we think about

1035
01:03:21,261 --> 01:03:26,601
As this progresses, that we see through

1036
01:03:27,471 --> 01:03:33,110
with those of us that are going to be public facing around this, if the community

1037
01:03:33,501 --> 01:03:37,941
were to get wind, I just want to make sure that when we are asked, we have all of

1038
01:03:38,001 --> 01:03:43,462
the information to speak about what those things are, why they're on the

1039
01:03:43,581 --> 01:03:49,371
list, how it might work, what it actually means. Are we having to pay anything?

1040
01:03:49,761 --> 01:03:54,231
And I think all of, like a list of talking points, because it could get a little-

1041
01:03:54,531 --> 01:03:59,631
Yeah, I could do that. I actually have a drive folder that's been shared amongst my

1042
01:03:59,691 --> 01:04:03,261
colleagues that I know there's at least one doc. There's an FAQ doc.

1043
01:04:03,381 --> 01:04:07,941
And so I can provide some of the sources so that our talking points are aligned.

1044
01:04:08,481 --> 01:04:14,391
Yeah. So with this resolution, we don't have to wait for the others to put

1045
01:04:14,451 --> 01:04:17,781
forth a resolution. This just gives us the authority-

1046
01:04:18,081 --> 01:04:18,471
Correct

1047
01:04:18,591 --> 01:04:22,011
... to move forward with it without waiting for everybody else.

1048
01:04:22,101 --> 01:04:25,161
Correct. Each district will be operating independently.

1049
01:04:25,851 --> 01:04:28,462
And it's contingent on more of the class actions.

1050
01:04:28,521 --> 01:04:32,751
They're going to have to get a lot of people behind them to I'm sure, to go forward

1051
01:04:32,781 --> 01:04:33,441
with this case.

1052
01:04:34,251 --> 01:04:35,631
Oh, they're doing an individual case.

1053
01:04:36,172 --> 01:04:39,831
They're doing an individual. It's not a class action suit.

1054
01:04:42,141 --> 01:04:46,011
But there's been discussion among the districts that are prone to see

1055
01:04:47,691 --> 01:04:50,541
if this interests them personally.

1056
01:04:50,601 --> 01:04:55,161
Correct. The new superintendent of Vallejo, Yuri Calderon,

1057
01:04:56,481 --> 01:05:01,911
is a practicing attorney. And he's done some sleuthing at various

1058
01:05:01,971 --> 01:05:06,471
firms. He has a colleague down in Southern California, and so

1059
01:05:07,101 --> 01:05:13,041
he's been able to provide some recommendations, and he's done some research on

1060
01:05:13,101 --> 01:05:14,481
his own to vet

1061
01:05:16,011 --> 01:05:19,611
this firm. And so we're really acting on his recommendation.

1062
01:05:20,661 --> 01:05:24,291
I've been solicited by three other groups

1063
01:05:26,091 --> 01:05:30,291
that they feel very random, and they feel like I'm on a listserv.

1064
01:05:31,131 --> 01:05:36,411
So a lot of folks, it's like there's blood in the water, and the firms are

1065
01:05:37,011 --> 01:05:40,432
going after what they think is going to be public money going through.

1066
01:05:40,761 --> 01:05:42,021
How widespread is this?

1067
01:05:42,471 --> 01:05:44,991
It's nationwide. Yeah, it's massive.

1068
01:05:47,511 --> 01:05:48,081
As it should be

1069
01:05:49,432 --> 01:05:50,331
in my estimation.

1070
01:05:50,391 --> 01:05:50,571
Yeah.

1071
01:05:52,161 --> 01:05:52,701
It's time.

1072
01:05:54,652 --> 01:05:55,611
All right. Any other discussion?

1073
01:05:59,302 --> 01:06:02,781
All right. Roll call, Mr. Pazell. Trustee Lowell.

1074
01:06:03,172 --> 01:06:03,471
Aye.

1075
01:06:03,531 --> 01:06:04,251
Trustee Clark.

1076
01:06:04,341 --> 01:06:04,491
Aye.

1077
01:06:04,552 --> 01:06:05,271
Trustee Pritchett.

1078
01:06:05,571 --> 01:06:05,721
Aye.

1079
01:06:05,781 --> 01:06:06,501
Trustee Willoughby.

1080
01:06:06,591 --> 01:06:06,802
Aye.

1081
01:06:06,861 --> 01:06:08,182
President Klein. Aye.

1082
01:06:11,001 --> 01:06:15,621
On to resolution number 42627. Yeah, Ms. Hack?

1083
01:06:15,861 --> 01:06:21,261
Yes. So this is an annual calculation completed as part of the unaudited actuals.

1084
01:06:21,861 --> 01:06:27,172
The Gann limit is a state requirement that places a limit on certain appropriations

1085
01:06:27,291 --> 01:06:32,811
from tax proceeds. The calculation is adjusted each year based on inflation and

1086
01:06:32,902 --> 01:06:37,641
ABA and things like that, and this report confirms that the district is in

1087
01:06:37,672 --> 01:06:39,471
compliance with those requirements.

1088
01:06:42,231 --> 01:06:45,891
Can we get a motion to approve resolution 42627?

1089
01:06:46,191 --> 01:06:46,581
So moved.

1090
01:06:46,821 --> 01:06:47,481
Get a second?

1091
01:06:48,081 --> 01:06:48,441
Second.

1092
01:06:49,161 --> 01:06:51,261
Any discussion on this resolution?

1093
01:06:53,751 --> 01:06:56,991
Hearing none. Mr. Pazell, roll call, please. Trustee Lowell.

1094
01:06:58,191 --> 01:06:58,311
Aye.

1095
01:06:58,672 --> 01:06:59,271
Trustee Clark.

1096
01:06:59,661 --> 01:06:59,841
Aye.

1097
01:07:00,081 --> 01:07:01,011
Trustee Pritchett.

1098
01:07:01,101 --> 01:07:01,402
Aye.

1099
01:07:01,432 --> 01:07:02,302
Trustee Willoughby.

1100
01:07:02,391 --> 01:07:02,661
Aye.

1101
01:07:03,081 --> 01:07:04,521
And President Klein. Aye.

1102
01:07:06,652 --> 01:07:09,771
And on to number five, a memorandum of understanding.

1103
01:07:10,881 --> 01:07:15,561
Yeah, this is the MOU between the County of Nevada Public Health, our school

1104
01:07:15,591 --> 01:07:17,871
district, and the other LEAs in the county.

1105
01:07:18,591 --> 01:07:22,131
This is the one that we brought back from last meeting.

1106
01:07:23,241 --> 01:07:29,212
And it should be noted, or I would turn your attention to what was added to

1107
01:07:29,271 --> 01:07:32,601
the bottom of the pages, beginning on page 15,

1108
01:07:33,802 --> 01:07:39,381
is our administrative procedural memo

1109
01:07:39,501 --> 01:07:44,031
for how we would move forward with any provided screenings or

1110
01:07:46,432 --> 01:07:49,491
observation, evaluation, treatments, anything along those lines.

1111
01:07:49,552 --> 01:07:54,712
So our hope is to provide some assurance to the board that we have an

1112
01:07:54,802 --> 01:07:59,121
opt-out process for families under the proper notification.

1113
01:07:59,182 --> 01:08:04,971
We didn't just move forward at the extreme leniency that the MOU would afford us

1114
01:08:05,661 --> 01:08:06,861
as we discussed last month.

1115
01:08:09,351 --> 01:08:13,131
Can we get a motion to approve the MOUs, please?

1116
01:08:14,511 --> 01:08:17,691
Yes, that would be approval. And I'll note also that Dr.

1117
01:08:17,932 --> 01:08:20,721
Reid is in the audience if there are any questions we can bring him to the podium.

1118
01:08:20,962 --> 01:08:23,422
Let's get on the table first. Get a motion to approve the MOU.

1119
01:08:23,721 --> 01:08:24,081
So moved.

1120
01:08:24,321 --> 01:08:24,951
And a second?

1121
01:08:25,432 --> 01:08:26,031
Second.

1122
01:08:26,212 --> 01:08:28,611
Any discussion or questions for Dr. Reid?

1123
01:08:29,151 --> 01:08:33,052
Well, I read through the agenda, and I'm happy with that.

1124
01:08:33,772 --> 01:08:35,512
There's more clarity

1125
01:08:36,951 --> 01:08:42,441
with that vague passive consent language in the emergency

1126
01:08:42,501 --> 01:08:48,291
language that's in there. I

1127
01:08:48,351 --> 01:08:49,191
feel like this is

1128
01:08:53,391 --> 01:08:53,601
great.

1129
01:08:54,172 --> 01:08:54,381
Yeah.

1130
01:08:55,791 --> 01:08:57,591
Thank you, Mr. Reid. Great job.

1131
01:09:00,802 --> 01:09:05,601
It's a voice vote, right? Yeah. Yeah. All right.

1132
01:09:05,691 --> 01:09:08,932
All in favor of approving the MOUs. What's that?

1133
01:09:12,351 --> 01:09:15,172
Thank you, though. And I whispered to Dan first

1134
01:09:16,641 --> 01:09:16,971
Yeah.

1135
01:09:18,922 --> 01:09:23,121
All in favor of approving the memorandum of understanding as it's written today,

1136
01:09:23,241 --> 01:09:23,691
say aye.

1137
01:09:24,291 --> 01:09:24,291
Aye.

1138
01:09:24,381 --> 01:09:24,621
Aye.

1139
01:09:24,981 --> 01:09:26,932
Any against? Ayes have it.

1140
01:09:28,251 --> 01:09:32,331
Moving to number 6, unaudited actual financial statements. Ms. Hack?

1141
01:09:32,661 --> 01:09:36,262
Yes. All right. Here we have it, long awaited

1142
01:09:38,272 --> 01:09:43,731
2025-26 unaudited actuals. This is the only point in the year that we look at our

1143
01:09:43,821 --> 01:09:48,440
actual revenues and expenditures as opposed to estimates and projections.

1144
01:09:49,911 --> 01:09:51,022
Next slide, please.

1145
01:09:55,041 --> 01:09:59,272
So this is my spoiler alert slide for the evening.

1146
01:09:59,331 --> 01:10:03,321
We're just getting right into it. Can I have a clicker? Thank you.

1147
01:10:04,821 --> 01:10:08,451
We didn't have any big surprises in closing this year, which was nice.

1148
01:10:08,691 --> 01:10:10,071
Our revenues and expenditures-

1149
01:10:10,071 --> 01:10:11,272
You have to change the next a little bit.

1150
01:10:11,841 --> 01:10:16,911
Oh, thank you. Okay. There we go. Perfect. It works.

1151
01:10:18,891 --> 01:10:22,971
Revenues and expenditures came in very close to our projections.

1152
01:10:23,301 --> 01:10:28,731
We were able to close '25-'26 with our board designated 9% reserve, which is very

1153
01:10:28,761 --> 01:10:32,241
exciting. A few highlights to point out.

1154
01:10:32,272 --> 01:10:36,141
Our general fund ended at approximately $7.46 million,

1155
01:10:37,281 --> 01:10:40,551
$4.78 million of that is unrestricted funds.

1156
01:10:41,241 --> 01:10:46,791
However, in order to get to that reserve, we did have to use approximately 550,000

1157
01:10:46,971 --> 01:10:52,491
of last year's one-time funding to support salary costs that are ongoing.

1158
01:10:52,641 --> 01:10:57,831
So that's something we need to be watching, and I will get into that more in a few

1159
01:10:57,921 --> 01:10:58,371
slides.

1160
01:11:01,011 --> 01:11:03,051
Uh-oh. Yeah, it's just delayed.

1161
01:11:04,551 --> 01:11:06,231
So this is our revenue updates.

1162
01:11:09,591 --> 01:11:15,441
Let's see. This is our estimated actuals that we looked at in June versus

1163
01:11:15,531 --> 01:11:20,031
our unaudited actuals, which is final numbers after all of our closing entries.

1164
01:11:20,871 --> 01:11:25,011
So this chart is showing both unrestricted and restricted funds combined.

1165
01:11:25,881 --> 01:11:30,531
We ended up with about $2.36 million higher than projected.

1166
01:11:31,161 --> 01:11:36,381
However, $1.7 million of that is actually an entry that we missed in last year's

1167
01:11:36,411 --> 01:11:39,201
budget. It's our STRS on-behalf payment.

1168
01:11:40,311 --> 01:11:44,661
The state of California contributes a portion of the employer contribution to

1169
01:11:44,721 --> 01:11:50,541
CalSTRS on behalf of the school district, so that $1.7 million is included here,

1170
01:11:50,721 --> 01:11:56,301
and at the same time, there was $1.7 million increase in our STRS

1171
01:11:56,361 --> 01:12:00,081
expenditure. So there's no impact to the fund balance.

1172
01:12:00,141 --> 01:12:02,301
It was just full for revenues and expenditures.

1173
01:12:03,111 --> 01:12:08,691
So aside from the $1.7 million, we ended up about $660,000 higher than we

1174
01:12:08,721 --> 01:12:10,401
projected, which is about 1%.

1175
01:12:12,441 --> 01:12:12,951
Well done.

1176
01:12:13,311 --> 01:12:13,641
Thank you.

1177
01:12:16,971 --> 01:12:20,601
This slide breaks up unrestricted versus restricted revenues.

1178
01:12:20,932 --> 01:12:26,841
So unrestricted revenues came in approximately $220,000 higher than projected.

1179
01:12:28,041 --> 01:12:33,351
This is due to federal timber tax revenue, which is our only federal unrestricted

1180
01:12:33,411 --> 01:12:33,801
revenue

1181
01:12:35,319 --> 01:12:39,309
As well as mandated cost reimbursement that we received at year-end.

1182
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:46,059
On the restricted side, as I mentioned earlier, the STRS on-behalf

1183
01:12:46,149 --> 01:12:46,599
entry,

1184
01:12:48,339 --> 01:12:52,660
and that also increased our expenditures by the same amount, so there's no effect

1185
01:12:52,779 --> 01:12:58,239
to the general fund there. Other than that, we did receive another allocation for

1186
01:12:58,299 --> 01:13:02,889
our RAISE grant, so that is the primary reason for the increase on the restricted

1187
01:13:03,069 --> 01:13:03,759
revenue side.

1188
01:13:08,349 --> 01:13:12,189
Total expenditures ended about 3% higher than projected.

1189
01:13:12,939 --> 01:13:18,039
When you factor in that $1.7 million for STRS on-behalf, we were really just a

1190
01:13:18,099 --> 01:13:19,809
fraction of a percent off.

1191
01:13:21,039 --> 01:13:23,649
We were essentially right on track with where we thought we would be.

1192
01:13:24,459 --> 01:13:29,620
I do want to mention that this really has been a district-wide team effort to get

1193
01:13:29,679 --> 01:13:35,079
here. My team at the district office has done an incredible job creating systems

1194
01:13:35,169 --> 01:13:40,689
and deadlines. Our sites and staff have really stepped up by being mindful of

1195
01:13:40,749 --> 01:13:45,939
budgets and meeting some difficult timelines we've put in place, and closing out

1196
01:13:45,999 --> 01:13:49,660
POs when they weren't going to be used.

1197
01:13:50,499 --> 01:13:55,479
So from our district office staff to site secretaries, principals, department

1198
01:13:55,539 --> 01:14:00,519
heads, teachers, everyone all came together to help us stay on target, and I really

1199
01:14:00,579 --> 01:14:03,279
appreciate the effort that went into getting us here.

1200
01:14:04,209 --> 01:14:06,039
So I just had to throw that out there.

1201
01:14:09,579 --> 01:14:14,979
This slide is a breakdown of the changes from estimated actuals to

1202
01:14:15,069 --> 01:14:15,699
unaudited

1203
01:14:17,319 --> 01:14:20,529
from the expenditure side. So on the left is unrestricted.

1204
01:14:21,549 --> 01:14:27,399
I mentioned earlier the $550,000 of one-time funds that we used towards salaries

1205
01:14:27,459 --> 01:14:30,939
in order to achieve our board-designated reserve.

1206
01:14:32,289 --> 01:14:38,259
Those discretionary funds are technically classified by the state as a restricted

1207
01:14:38,379 --> 01:14:40,749
resource. So even though we

1208
01:14:43,149 --> 01:14:48,009
had fairly broad discretion over how that could be spent, essentially we used

1209
01:14:48,009 --> 01:14:53,559
$550,000 of those one-time restricted dollars to cover salary costs that otherwise

1210
01:14:53,589 --> 01:14:55,479
would've been paid from unrestricted.

1211
01:14:56,620 --> 01:15:01,839
That accounts for almost all of the $580,000 difference you're seeing in the

1212
01:15:01,929 --> 01:15:02,919
unrestricted column.

1213
01:15:04,299 --> 01:15:08,349
On the other side, restricted expenditures increased for the same reason by

1214
01:15:08,379 --> 01:15:13,569
$550,000, plus the STRS entry. That brings us to our

1215
01:15:13,599 --> 01:15:15,910
$2.15 million increase.

1216
01:15:19,299 --> 01:15:22,089
So what did that do to our fund balance?

1217
01:15:22,959 --> 01:15:27,579
We started the year with $8.3 million, and with all said and done, we ended the

1218
01:15:27,639 --> 01:15:31,629
year with about $840,000 less in our fund balance.

1219
01:15:33,069 --> 01:15:39,039
Our fund balance is $7,460,000. And in case you're wondering how our

1220
01:15:39,099 --> 01:15:43,809
end fund balance decreased while our unrestricted reserve increased, that is

1221
01:15:43,870 --> 01:15:47,919
because we spent down some of our restricted resources during the year.

1222
01:15:48,129 --> 01:15:53,049
So while we improved our unrestricted position, we had fewer restricted dollars

1223
01:15:53,559 --> 01:15:55,179
carrying forward into next year.

1224
01:15:59,620 --> 01:16:04,389
This is our components of end fund balance, so essentially our unrestricted versus

1225
01:16:04,449 --> 01:16:09,459
restricted fund balance, and then, of course, our unrestricted reserve as a

1226
01:16:09,519 --> 01:16:13,870
percentage of total expenditures for '25-'26 is 9%.

1227
01:16:18,459 --> 01:16:23,499
I do want to stress that since we did have to fund salaries out of our one-time

1228
01:16:23,589 --> 01:16:28,419
funds, those salaries are ongoing expenditures, so even though we met our reserve

1229
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:33,489
requirement for this year, we are still seeing a structural deficit of about

1230
01:16:33,519 --> 01:16:39,129
$550,000. Fortunately, we are receiving additional one-time funding next year,

1231
01:16:39,879 --> 01:16:42,699
but that should not be funding ongoing expenditures.

1232
01:16:42,789 --> 01:16:47,589
So we will need to keep looking at our multi-year projections in order to align

1233
01:16:47,649 --> 01:16:50,529
those ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures.

1234
01:16:54,370 --> 01:16:56,529
And that's really all I have for you tonight.

1235
01:16:57,069 --> 01:17:01,089
Just to recap, we made our reserve goal, we stayed on track with our planned

1236
01:17:01,149 --> 01:17:06,339
budget, and we need to monitor that multi-year projection and carefully plan moving

1237
01:17:06,399 --> 01:17:08,829
forward. So are there any questions?

1238
01:17:14,019 --> 01:17:16,660
Yeah. I don't have any questions. I just want to say thank you, Sierra.

1239
01:17:17,469 --> 01:17:22,959
It's you jumping in as a new CBO and having to learn

1240
01:17:23,769 --> 01:17:27,129
how to fly the plane while you're flying the plane, while you have people

1241
01:17:27,219 --> 01:17:29,739
screaming, you have to fly the plane differently.

1242
01:17:31,959 --> 01:17:37,419
Kudos to you and for getting us in this space that two years ago, it

1243
01:17:38,109 --> 01:17:43,419
felt really hard, and so you did it. Thank you.

1244
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,329
Thank you. Again, it's not me, it's my whole team for sure.

1245
01:17:46,449 --> 01:17:47,919
I couldn't do it without them. So...

1246
01:17:48,609 --> 01:17:50,049
Can I just ask a quick question?

1247
01:17:50,709 --> 01:17:51,160
Mm-hmm. Yep.

1248
01:17:51,189 --> 01:17:52,239
Like you said that

1249
01:17:54,910 --> 01:18:00,549
based on the data that there still appears to be a

1250
01:18:00,639 --> 01:18:06,399
deficit, right? And so when you're factoring all of the

1251
01:18:06,459 --> 01:18:11,439
numbers, that doesn't add the potentials, right?

1252
01:18:11,499 --> 01:18:12,519
Like the potential

1253
01:18:14,410 --> 01:18:17,859
inflow of money from solar and things like that, right?

1254
01:18:17,949 --> 01:18:23,739
You can only work with true to actual, so we can't do girl math for

1255
01:18:23,799 --> 01:18:24,579
lack of better terms.

1256
01:18:24,639 --> 01:18:24,729
Yeah.

1257
01:18:25,179 --> 01:18:30,549
We know that if solar, these are going to begin, or we know we have this, and so we

1258
01:18:30,609 --> 01:18:35,049
are not banking on any of that, so what we see is what we get

1259
01:18:36,309 --> 01:18:38,259
as of none of those other things basically.

1260
01:18:38,379 --> 01:18:44,079
Right. And that's why I love to see unaudited actuals because it's real

1261
01:18:44,139 --> 01:18:47,199
numbers. I love to not have the guessing game-

1262
01:18:47,319 --> 01:18:47,319
Right

1263
01:18:47,319 --> 01:18:50,829
... because the rest of the year is just plugging those in nonstop because

1264
01:18:50,889 --> 01:18:54,009
everything's always changing. We joke that it's like, "Okay, right here.

1265
01:18:54,069 --> 01:18:54,669
Here we are."

1266
01:18:55,359 --> 01:18:56,079
It's that time of-

1267
01:18:56,079 --> 01:19:01,298
But there's just a lot of moving parts, so this is a good time to just look at,

1268
01:19:01,388 --> 01:19:02,318
okay, here we are.

1269
01:19:07,239 --> 01:19:07,419
Thank you.

1270
01:19:07,509 --> 01:19:09,609
All right. Any other discussion, comments?

1271
01:19:14,469 --> 01:19:15,699
We need to vote to accept these then.

1272
01:19:16,029 --> 01:19:16,449
We do.

1273
01:19:16,660 --> 01:19:20,349
Can we get a motion to accept the unaudited actual financial statements?

1274
01:19:20,589 --> 01:19:21,129
So moved.

1275
01:19:21,219 --> 01:19:21,849
And a second?

1276
01:19:22,329 --> 01:19:22,749
Second.

1277
01:19:23,620 --> 01:19:24,669
All in favor say aye.

1278
01:19:25,539 --> 01:19:25,929
Aye.

1279
01:19:26,739 --> 01:19:27,370
Any against?

1280
01:19:30,039 --> 01:19:32,019
Unaudited actual financial statements are accepted.

1281
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:38,019
Next, item number 7, the NGUHSD plan for expelled youth. Mr. Zellet.

1282
01:19:38,109 --> 01:19:43,479
Yeah. So, the board has been up to date on this plan and where we are in this

1283
01:19:43,509 --> 01:19:46,029
process. We haven't had any

1284
01:19:47,589 --> 01:19:49,389
board discussions as a team.

1285
01:19:50,859 --> 01:19:55,779
I want to make sure we kind of stay out of the weeds with a potential school

1286
01:19:55,870 --> 01:19:58,269
opening. But, just in summary,

1287
01:19:59,499 --> 01:20:01,419
it looks like the Earl Jameson

1288
01:20:02,769 --> 01:20:07,539
program that is currently being operated by John Muir Charter School,

1289
01:20:08,769 --> 01:20:12,189
is probably going to come to an end of operation.

1290
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,629
That timeline has been a little bit of a moving target.

1291
01:20:16,689 --> 01:20:21,999
We thought it was going to be closing its doors to expelled youth at the end of

1292
01:20:22,029 --> 01:20:26,259
December. It sounds like it's likely to stay open at least through the rest of this

1293
01:20:26,319 --> 01:20:30,999
school year, although there's a fee structure that's being proposed and kicked

1294
01:20:31,059 --> 01:20:36,429
around, in terms of charging districts who have expelled youth,

1295
01:20:37,419 --> 01:20:39,549
and who are referring to Earl Jameson School.

1296
01:20:40,299 --> 01:20:42,579
So a lot of that is a bit of a moving target for us.

1297
01:20:43,389 --> 01:20:49,299
What we do know is we feel a level of confidence that we can establish and

1298
01:20:49,359 --> 01:20:54,339
operate a school that serves both our expelled youth as well as some of

1299
01:20:55,228 --> 01:21:00,897
Younger classmen, ninth, 10th grade, 11th grade, that are in need of

1300
01:21:00,927 --> 01:21:05,877
supports and are in need of opportunities to reengage with their education.

1301
01:21:06,867 --> 01:21:12,147
And so we are moving very quickly. We're moving very quickly with a target date of

1302
01:21:12,237 --> 01:21:14,637
January because that was our understanding of the timeline.

1303
01:21:15,177 --> 01:21:20,127
We're still moving with that date in mind, but have given ourselves a little bit of

1304
01:21:20,187 --> 01:21:25,707
a backstop to know that, if necessary, we can take some time and target an

1305
01:21:25,767 --> 01:21:30,387
August opening. But with that, we've established a

1306
01:21:32,097 --> 01:21:36,207
checklist of steps that need to be taken, because you can't just start a school

1307
01:21:36,447 --> 01:21:41,907
overnight. So part of the process for us is coming to the board, getting the

1308
01:21:41,937 --> 01:21:46,587
board's approval to move forward with the opening of a district community day

1309
01:21:46,677 --> 01:21:51,567
school, which is what this type of school would qualify as.

1310
01:21:52,707 --> 01:21:57,147
And so this is a procedural step for us to enable us to move forward in the

1311
01:21:57,177 --> 01:22:01,557
process. Our next step would be to engage with the California Department of

1312
01:22:01,617 --> 01:22:04,707
Education to be assigned a school code.

1313
01:22:05,787 --> 01:22:11,728
We're really in the infancy steps with establishing a program, establishing

1314
01:22:11,787 --> 01:22:17,728
a site, getting our hands wrapped around available funding sources, both inside

1315
01:22:17,787 --> 01:22:22,107
the district and with our community partners, either the County Office of

1316
01:22:22,167 --> 01:22:22,887
Education,

1317
01:22:24,087 --> 01:22:25,887
and juvenile justice system in the county.

1318
01:22:26,307 --> 01:22:31,347
And so we're moving forward on a number of different fronts and really tonight,

1319
01:22:31,887 --> 01:22:35,277
without getting into the details about what type of school and where a school is

1320
01:22:35,337 --> 01:22:39,478
located and the type of school day that would be in place, we really just want to

1321
01:22:39,537 --> 01:22:42,537
get approval from the board so that we can continue moving forward.

1322
01:22:43,497 --> 01:22:44,397
This is

1323
01:22:46,107 --> 01:22:50,337
non-committal. It doesn't mean we're opening a school, but it does clear the path

1324
01:22:50,367 --> 01:22:52,258
for us to move forward in the process.

1325
01:22:54,897 --> 01:22:58,978
Can we get a motion to approve the NGUSC plan for expelled youth?

1326
01:22:59,457 --> 01:23:00,027
So moved.

1327
01:23:00,087 --> 01:23:00,718
And a second?

1328
01:23:01,347 --> 01:23:01,857
Second.

1329
01:23:02,277 --> 01:23:03,327
And we have a discussion?

1330
01:23:04,287 --> 01:23:09,537
Yeah. Can I just, just as you know I'm not really as familiar with this

1331
01:23:09,718 --> 01:23:10,317
process,

1332
01:23:11,637 --> 01:23:17,277
I'm just wondering, can you tell me other districts who have expelled youth, their

1333
01:23:17,337 --> 01:23:20,787
schools, do their schools tend to be housed within their district as well?

1334
01:23:21,357 --> 01:23:26,968
Is our situation unique in terms of having had John Muir house that

1335
01:23:27,027 --> 01:23:27,807
expelled youth?

1336
01:23:27,897 --> 01:23:32,457
It's a good question. There's really an array, and at the end of the day,

1337
01:23:32,637 --> 01:23:38,037
ultimately, the LEA, the Local Education Agency, us as a district, are responsible

1338
01:23:38,097 --> 01:23:39,207
for serving our students.

1339
01:23:39,327 --> 01:23:39,417
Okay.

1340
01:23:39,987 --> 01:23:42,447
At the end of the day, yeah, it ultimately falls on us.

1341
01:23:42,537 --> 01:23:47,847
So, in some counties, Placer County, for example, the County Office of Education

1342
01:23:47,937 --> 01:23:53,877
runs a program, I Care, and that is an available service for students

1343
01:23:53,907 --> 01:23:55,767
in Placer County who are expelled from school.

1344
01:23:57,057 --> 01:23:59,277
In other counties,

1345
01:24:01,497 --> 01:24:04,827
some districts have established schools for expelled youth.

1346
01:24:05,097 --> 01:24:09,447
So they expel a student from their school, but the student's actually staying

1347
01:24:09,476 --> 01:24:13,827
within their district and being served at an alternative location, and they just

1348
01:24:13,978 --> 01:24:15,508
decide to provide that service.

1349
01:24:16,947 --> 01:24:22,647
Other counties where, in my understanding of K-8 education in

1350
01:24:22,677 --> 01:24:27,957
Placer County, is there's not a community day school for K-8 students, and so, if a

1351
01:24:28,047 --> 01:24:32,427
student is expelled from school, they have to be served somewhere, and they place

1352
01:24:32,457 --> 01:24:37,497
their students at a non-public school, which we had three contracts on our consent

1353
01:24:37,557 --> 01:24:38,937
agenda for non-public placement-

1354
01:24:38,997 --> 01:24:39,957
That's an option

1355
01:24:39,987 --> 01:24:45,387
... that could be anywhere from 70 to $120,000 a year in terms of a placement.

1356
01:24:46,167 --> 01:24:50,157
So that always remains an alternative for us if we want to send a student to a

1357
01:24:50,218 --> 01:24:55,707
non-public school. It's obviously not a financially sound one for us.

1358
01:24:57,087 --> 01:25:02,697
We do feel like we have the resources to develop a program that is

1359
01:25:03,207 --> 01:25:06,387
quality and meets the needs of these students.

1360
01:25:08,487 --> 01:25:12,987
Earl Jameson, at one point in time, was operated by our school district.

1361
01:25:14,218 --> 01:25:20,127
It kind of predates me. I think that service ended around 2011, and then the county

1362
01:25:20,218 --> 01:25:25,258
office, NCSOS, took over operation of Earl Jameson from roughly

1363
01:25:25,407 --> 01:25:29,877
2012 up until 2022. So about a 10-year span.

1364
01:25:31,077 --> 01:25:35,517
And it was a losing endeavor for them in terms of cost,

1365
01:25:35,577 --> 01:25:39,237
and they didn't want to have their hands in it anymore.

1366
01:25:39,297 --> 01:25:44,157
And so John Muir Charter School reopened a school at the McCorney site, McCorney

1367
01:25:44,218 --> 01:25:49,767
Road. And that's when they agreed to take on that as one of their

1368
01:25:49,827 --> 01:25:55,707
programs on that campus. So that arrangement was a three-year unwritten commitment

1369
01:25:55,767 --> 01:25:59,667
on their part, and last year was the third year, and now

1370
01:26:01,407 --> 01:26:04,047
they made a decision that they're going to get out of that business.

1371
01:26:05,097 --> 01:26:10,917
It's just interesting how there are so many things that are standard and expected

1372
01:26:11,037 --> 01:26:14,187
in public education, and for this to be-

1373
01:26:14,787 --> 01:26:16,707
A little bit different

1374
01:26:16,737 --> 01:26:20,337
... Yeah. It seems like an anomaly to everything else that we do here.

1375
01:26:20,397 --> 01:26:24,657
Yeah. In larger counties, like when I worked in Sacramento County, there were

1376
01:26:25,497 --> 01:26:28,047
multiple schools. So it's a big county, right?

1377
01:26:28,317 --> 01:26:28,707
Yeah.

1378
01:26:28,767 --> 01:26:32,907
And so there were a number of community day schools in various regions.

1379
01:26:33,297 --> 01:26:38,457
I imagine there still are. And so students that were expelled, multiple districts

1380
01:26:38,487 --> 01:26:41,457
could refer, right? But we're just small.

1381
01:26:41,817 --> 01:26:42,027
Right.

1382
01:26:42,117 --> 01:26:42,327
So

1383
01:26:43,557 --> 01:26:44,337
that's just the difference.

1384
01:26:44,637 --> 01:26:44,877
So we'll-

1385
01:26:44,907 --> 01:26:49,677
Financially, how would... I guess you have to work out the numbers of course, but

1386
01:26:49,707 --> 01:26:54,957
how would it compare for us to do it here, have our own, as opposed to

1387
01:26:56,247 --> 01:26:58,947
referring to another district?

1388
01:26:59,008 --> 01:27:01,228
We'd definitely do it less than a non-public school.

1389
01:27:01,617 --> 01:27:02,397
Okay.

1390
01:27:02,457 --> 01:27:02,728
The

1391
01:27:04,017 --> 01:27:09,807
pricing structure for this spring, for John Muir Charter School, they're

1392
01:27:09,837 --> 01:27:15,508
talking about charging districts $20,000 for the spring semester, to send a

1393
01:27:15,567 --> 01:27:15,927
student.

1394
01:27:16,468 --> 01:27:17,937
Alone. Spring alone. To send a student.

1395
01:27:17,968 --> 01:27:21,147
Mm-hmm. But that's not been solidified.

1396
01:27:21,447 --> 01:27:22,107
Left the meeting today, it sounds like-

1397
01:27:22,107 --> 01:27:23,728
And that's their suggestion per student?

1398
01:27:23,787 --> 01:27:24,718
Per student, yeah.

1399
01:27:25,197 --> 01:27:29,277
That'd be for a year. Well, you wouldn't even do that anyway, though.

1400
01:27:29,637 --> 01:27:32,817
Right. If they did, and again, a lot of these are moving parts.

1401
01:27:33,687 --> 01:27:37,317
I have a meeting at the county office today to try to get some more concrete

1402
01:27:37,377 --> 01:27:41,907
answers and to express some of the challenges that we've been experiencing as an

1403
01:27:41,968 --> 01:27:45,177
end user, and as one of the districts in the county.

1404
01:27:45,897 --> 01:27:50,067
And so those numbers felt even a little squishy there, like they're perhaps

1405
01:27:50,127 --> 01:27:54,417
debatable or not in concrete quite yet.

1406
01:27:54,537 --> 01:27:54,837
So,

1407
01:27:56,157 --> 01:27:57,987
that's why we're moving on our front,

1408
01:27:59,547 --> 01:28:02,547
full speed ahead to try to put a program together that's good for kids.

1409
01:28:03,447 --> 01:28:06,927
Try to access some funding that we believe is out there and available that we might

1410
01:28:06,987 --> 01:28:11,817
be able to leverage to provide a good service, and then we're one step at a time.

1411
01:28:11,907 --> 01:28:12,057
So,

1412
01:28:13,468 --> 01:28:16,827
that's the purpose of this resolution, is just to keep us in a place where we can

1413
01:28:16,887 --> 01:28:21,327
keep moving in that direction, and then it's going to be evolving.

1414
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:23,127
I love the idea of doing it ourselves.

1415
01:28:23,157 --> 01:28:25,978
I think we have robust CTE programs that we partner with.

1416
01:28:26,037 --> 01:28:30,387
We have all the means that we need to do it ourselves and keep it in-house.

1417
01:28:30,447 --> 01:28:32,637
I think it's a great path we're going down.

1418
01:28:33,057 --> 01:28:38,037
Well, I think some of the frustrations that we've had with our students who've been

1419
01:28:38,097 --> 01:28:42,177
there, and they haven't followed up with what we were expecting the school to

1420
01:28:42,207 --> 01:28:46,978
provide for them, to have that in our control would be helpful.

1421
01:28:47,787 --> 01:28:48,508
One more question.

1422
01:28:48,537 --> 01:28:48,747
Mm-hmm.

1423
01:28:49,917 --> 01:28:52,287
Can students who are not part of our district

1424
01:28:53,547 --> 01:28:54,057
attend?

1425
01:28:55,677 --> 01:28:57,297
Would that be a possibility if-

1426
01:28:58,557 --> 01:28:59,607
So it's going to-

1427
01:28:59,697 --> 01:29:03,897
A follow-up to that, I noticed that we have the, it says 9 to 12.

1428
01:29:04,377 --> 01:29:08,097
I think presently Earl Jameson takes 8th, right? Or 7th?

1429
01:29:08,307 --> 01:29:09,057
Correct.

1430
01:29:09,117 --> 01:29:10,707
And so would we consider that?

1431
01:29:10,797 --> 01:29:14,758
So the answer is it depends. And then getting into the weeds a little bit.

1432
01:29:14,758 --> 01:29:14,787
Sorry.

1433
01:29:14,847 --> 01:29:19,468
But no, we'll go down a little bit. We can operate a community day school of our

1434
01:29:19,557 --> 01:29:24,867
own, which would be 9 through 12. There is also an option

1435
01:29:25,228 --> 01:29:25,857
where

1436
01:29:27,147 --> 01:29:32,697
it remains a county community day school, so it still remains a school of the

1437
01:29:32,758 --> 01:29:37,468
County Office of Education, Earl Jameson remains, but we take over operations and

1438
01:29:37,497 --> 01:29:40,167
programming, and there are some benefits to that.

1439
01:29:40,797 --> 01:29:45,927
One benefit being we can have a 9 through 12 program, and one of the K8s can have a

1440
01:29:46,137 --> 01:29:47,307
6 through 8 program.

1441
01:29:48,777 --> 01:29:50,607
Having that county designation

1442
01:29:52,258 --> 01:29:55,077
restricts the number of required instructional minutes during the day.

1443
01:29:55,468 --> 01:30:01,228
It also opens up, it's more lenient toward independent study options for students,

1444
01:30:02,457 --> 01:30:06,267
and it could be more attractive to some other available dollars that we think are

1445
01:30:06,327 --> 01:30:09,687
in the area. Of course, the county office has to be on board with that.

1446
01:30:09,747 --> 01:30:14,937
We have to foster that relationship and make sure it meets their needs.

1447
01:30:16,263 --> 01:30:19,293
It also unlocks some county dollars, we think.

1448
01:30:20,103 --> 01:30:23,133
So we're just in discovery and moving down.

1449
01:30:23,853 --> 01:30:27,933
Our idea is to build the program, and then whether it's a district program, in

1450
01:30:27,993 --> 01:30:31,953
which case we could decide to take a student who was expelled from a charter

1451
01:30:32,013 --> 01:30:33,843
school, let's say, or from out of county.

1452
01:30:34,803 --> 01:30:36,663
We could even have a billing structure of our own.

1453
01:30:36,723 --> 01:30:36,813
Right.

1454
01:30:36,843 --> 01:30:40,413
With, "Hey, Post County wants this kid, cool, it'll cost you whatever."

1455
01:30:40,562 --> 01:30:41,674
Right.

1456
01:30:41,733 --> 01:30:43,743
So there's some benefits to that side.

1457
01:30:44,373 --> 01:30:47,943
And then there's some benefits doing it under a county umbrella.

1458
01:30:48,243 --> 01:30:50,883
We don't have to go to CDE, we don't have to establish another school.

1459
01:30:52,924 --> 01:30:53,013
Right.

1460
01:30:53,073 --> 01:30:55,023
So it's fine. It's one of those-

1461
01:30:55,383 --> 01:30:55,863
It's fine

1462
01:30:55,893 --> 01:30:56,943
... unexpected

1463
01:30:58,203 --> 01:31:00,483
priorities for the year, right?

1464
01:31:02,103 --> 01:31:03,573
Time is of the essence, too.

1465
01:31:04,293 --> 01:31:04,922
It is.

1466
01:31:04,982 --> 01:31:05,313
Yeah.

1467
01:31:05,373 --> 01:31:11,163
It is. But fortunately, we have some creative thinkers on our team, and so we have

1468
01:31:11,193 --> 01:31:13,683
more ideas than we know what to do with currently.

1469
01:31:14,043 --> 01:31:14,883
That's shocking.

1470
01:31:15,303 --> 01:31:17,193
I know. It's hard to imagine where those

1471
01:31:18,843 --> 01:31:19,653
ideas come from.

1472
01:31:20,013 --> 01:31:20,193
I know.

1473
01:31:20,523 --> 01:31:21,783
All right. Any other discussion on this?

1474
01:31:23,733 --> 01:31:25,413
All right, Mr. Zellet, roll.

1475
01:31:25,893 --> 01:31:27,303
Trustee Williams?

1476
01:31:27,393 --> 01:31:27,543
Aye.

1477
01:31:27,723 --> 01:31:28,383
Trustee Clark.

1478
01:31:28,503 --> 01:31:28,713
Aye.

1479
01:31:28,803 --> 01:31:29,553
Trustee Bridgette.

1480
01:31:29,913 --> 01:31:30,213
Aye.

1481
01:31:30,243 --> 01:31:30,993
Trustee Willoughby.

1482
01:31:31,053 --> 01:31:31,293
Aye.

1483
01:31:31,443 --> 01:31:32,073
President Klein.

1484
01:31:32,373 --> 01:31:32,643
Aye.

1485
01:31:33,933 --> 01:31:36,243
On to number eight, superintendent goals.

1486
01:31:36,693 --> 01:31:38,373
Yeah, we do have a public comment just here.

1487
01:31:38,613 --> 01:31:42,093
Oh, yeah. And public comment, Ms. Lesbe.

1488
01:31:45,513 --> 01:31:49,233
Believe it or not, I actually read just about every single attachment that's in the

1489
01:31:49,263 --> 01:31:50,253
agenda each time.

1490
01:31:51,933 --> 01:31:51,933
Yes.

1491
01:31:51,963 --> 01:31:56,793
And so on this one, in reading through the list of goals for you, Superintendent

1492
01:31:56,853 --> 01:32:01,443
Pezzella, I wanted to address one of the items in goal two, which is improve

1493
01:32:01,563 --> 01:32:05,133
academic achievement through quality teaching and learning and clear measures of

1494
01:32:05,163 --> 01:32:10,143
progress and performance. And within that goal, one of the bullet points stated

1495
01:32:10,233 --> 01:32:15,334
specifically the establishment of AI guardrails via AI task force to include

1496
01:32:15,393 --> 01:32:21,213
reduction of screen time. And in with that piece right there, I would encourage you

1497
01:32:21,243 --> 01:32:26,913
to expand this goal to include reevaluate the use of AI platforms that are already

1498
01:32:26,943 --> 01:32:32,553
in use in our schools. For example, Edia is the AI math program that's used to help

1499
01:32:32,613 --> 01:32:35,403
kids work through math problems and explain the steps.

1500
01:32:36,003 --> 01:32:41,043
And at first glance, this resource sounds really useful, but there are times when

1501
01:32:41,133 --> 01:32:46,683
Edia teaches backwards, working from the answer back up to the step where the

1502
01:32:46,743 --> 01:32:51,543
student got stuck, and then fail. Edia also works through trying to find the

1503
01:32:51,603 --> 01:32:54,123
fastest way to that solution working backwards.

1504
01:32:55,773 --> 01:33:01,084
However, that's not how humans work with working through math problems, for

1505
01:33:01,143 --> 01:33:07,113
example. We think from the start of the problem and work each step going down

1506
01:33:07,233 --> 01:33:11,373
towards the answer, and sometimes we have to backtrack with that step, but then

1507
01:33:11,433 --> 01:33:15,513
that backtracking and reworking is part of the learning process.

1508
01:33:16,293 --> 01:33:21,753
AI like Edia offers easy answers, but it doesn't always provide that learning by

1509
01:33:22,053 --> 01:33:25,983
working backwards. Students are shown how to solve the questions without really

1510
01:33:26,043 --> 01:33:31,263
getting the value out of working those problems, because that value comes from that

1511
01:33:31,323 --> 01:33:36,993
working and reworking in the order from the question, then getting to the solution.

1512
01:33:37,473 --> 01:33:42,033
And so it may be that other tried and true methods of instruction might be a little

1513
01:33:42,063 --> 01:33:47,013
bit more valuable than using AI. And these are comments actually coming from my

1514
01:33:47,073 --> 01:33:51,483
daughter, who has used Edia for a few years now, and she's like, "Hey, this is the

1515
01:33:51,513 --> 01:33:56,253
problem I'm running into in her pre-calc and calculus." And so it may work better

1516
01:33:56,313 --> 01:34:00,753
for some of the lower math classes, but as you get up higher, it struggles.

1517
01:34:01,143 --> 01:34:01,803
So thank you.

1518
01:34:02,223 --> 01:34:02,883
Thank you.

1519
01:34:08,103 --> 01:34:10,713
I could get a motion to approve the superintendent goals.

1520
01:34:11,103 --> 01:34:11,793
So moved.

1521
01:34:11,853 --> 01:34:15,033
And a second? Second. Mr. Pezzella,

1522
01:34:16,233 --> 01:34:18,903
did you want to go over these at all, or do you guys want any other discussion

1523
01:34:19,653 --> 01:34:20,283
about these?

1524
01:34:21,153 --> 01:34:23,103
We went over them in depth last month.

1525
01:34:23,163 --> 01:34:23,283
Yeah.

1526
01:34:23,373 --> 01:34:24,843
But if there are any questions or

1527
01:34:26,493 --> 01:34:28,023
revisions, now would be the time.

1528
01:34:30,033 --> 01:34:30,753
No, I'm good.

1529
01:34:30,783 --> 01:34:36,334
Do we want to consider some broad language that just-

1530
01:34:36,424 --> 01:34:36,903
Yeah, I mean, I could speak to Ms.-

1531
01:34:36,903 --> 01:34:37,533
... opens us

1532
01:34:39,363 --> 01:34:43,593
to making some changes if we so choose, or giving you the ability to make some

1533
01:34:43,593 --> 01:34:43,623
changes.

1534
01:34:43,683 --> 01:34:46,773
I could speak to Ms. Lesbe's comments. Edia is a new product.

1535
01:34:46,834 --> 01:34:48,213
It's the product I was speaking to-

1536
01:34:48,213 --> 01:34:48,334
Sure

1537
01:34:48,363 --> 01:34:52,743
... during my comments. So we are evaluating it.

1538
01:34:52,834 --> 01:34:57,183
Actually, we have a follow-up phone call with the company today to express some of

1539
01:34:57,213 --> 01:35:00,633
our concerns with the mechanism. So, this would've been the only year your

1540
01:35:00,663 --> 01:35:03,843
daughter's used it, so maybe it was a different platform in years past.

1541
01:35:04,383 --> 01:35:10,143
It's brand new to us. And so we're doing that. We've already-- So check.

1542
01:35:14,403 --> 01:35:17,853
Luke has some follow-up with the entire math department because we have another

1543
01:35:17,913 --> 01:35:22,683
program that we have used, and then Edia has been adopted and we're going to be

1544
01:35:22,743 --> 01:35:24,243
picking a lane here pretty soon.

1545
01:35:26,043 --> 01:35:31,143
And we have some direct feedback for the company right now, so we're engaging with

1546
01:35:31,174 --> 01:35:34,203
them. We have another meeting on the calendar to follow up with them again, too.

1547
01:35:35,943 --> 01:35:36,633
Keep it looking.

1548
01:35:36,693 --> 01:35:37,174
Welcome.

1549
01:35:44,253 --> 01:35:45,183
All right. With that,

1550
01:35:46,473 --> 01:35:50,073
we have a motion on the table. All in favor of approving the superintendent goals,

1551
01:35:50,133 --> 01:35:50,553
say aye.

1552
01:35:51,093 --> 01:35:51,243
Aye.

1553
01:35:51,424 --> 01:35:53,973
Aye. Aye. Against? The ayes have it.

1554
01:35:55,203 --> 01:35:57,843
We'll move on to policy manual review,

1555
01:36:00,003 --> 01:36:04,084
the May 2026 CSBA district policy updates.

1556
01:36:05,043 --> 01:36:07,203
Yeah. So this is on for a second read.

1557
01:36:07,473 --> 01:36:13,113
As you recall, last month we had discussions specifically pertaining to board

1558
01:36:13,174 --> 01:36:15,243
bylaw 9200.

1559
01:36:16,834 --> 01:36:22,683
I made an effort to revise the portion of that bylaw that

1560
01:36:23,763 --> 01:36:26,313
there was more discussion around the sentence

1561
01:36:26,403 --> 01:36:31,773
that was being discussed and

1562
01:36:31,834 --> 01:36:35,133
considered. And if you're looking for the right document, it's labeled.

1563
01:36:35,493 --> 01:36:36,334
It's top left.

1564
01:36:36,453 --> 01:36:37,293
Mm-hmm.

1565
01:36:37,293 --> 01:36:41,223
Board PB 9200 revision, in all caps.

1566
01:36:42,063 --> 01:36:44,342
So we're discussing the sentence, "The board member

1567
01:36:46,084 --> 01:36:51,393
shall not respond substantively to communication beyond acknowledging receipts and

1568
01:36:51,424 --> 01:36:54,723
explaining the limits of the board member's authority." So,

1569
01:36:56,283 --> 01:36:57,723
there was question about

1570
01:37:01,683 --> 01:37:04,803
how subjective the term substantively was.

1571
01:37:06,424 --> 01:37:11,553
And then there was also, I think what I gathered in watching our discussion over it

1572
01:37:11,584 --> 01:37:15,693
was that there was some emphasis on making sure the individual felt heard.

1573
01:37:16,323 --> 01:37:20,584
So I added that phrasing of ensuring individuals feel heard and just removed the

1574
01:37:20,613 --> 01:37:24,334
word substantively. So it now reads, "The board member shall not respond to the

1575
01:37:24,393 --> 01:37:28,473
communication beyond acknowledging receipt, ensuring individual feels heard, and

1576
01:37:28,503 --> 01:37:33,993
explaining the limits of the board member's authority." Then the rest is presented

1577
01:37:34,174 --> 01:37:35,733
as was originally proposed

1578
01:37:37,293 --> 01:37:38,283
by CSBA.

1579
01:37:40,983 --> 01:37:46,563
Can I get a motion to approve May 2026 CSBA district policy

1580
01:37:46,623 --> 01:37:46,983
updates?

1581
01:37:47,253 --> 01:37:47,643
So moved.

1582
01:37:48,363 --> 01:37:52,653
And a second? Second. Any discussion on that?

1583
01:37:55,203 --> 01:37:58,743
All right. All in favor of approving these as they're written now, say aye.

1584
01:37:59,073 --> 01:37:59,463
Aye.

1585
01:37:59,463 --> 01:37:59,463
Aye.

1586
01:37:59,674 --> 01:37:59,823
Aye.

1587
01:38:00,363 --> 01:38:02,584
Any against? The ayes have it.

1588
01:38:04,203 --> 01:38:07,443
Moving on to board policy 6146.1.

1589
01:38:07,773 --> 01:38:12,153
Yeah. So, our apologies. This board policy

1590
01:38:12,363 --> 01:38:17,703
6146.1, high school graduation requirements, came before the board

1591
01:38:18,693 --> 01:38:22,983
last spring, and this is one that is more of a custom

1592
01:38:24,243 --> 01:38:27,213
board policy for us that reflects our specific

1593
01:38:28,473 --> 01:38:30,063
graduation requirements, and

1594
01:38:31,893 --> 01:38:37,563
it basically got through our screening process, ended up on the board agenda for a

1595
01:38:37,623 --> 01:38:43,293
first and second read, and was approved and overrode our existing policy.

1596
01:38:43,953 --> 01:38:47,733
And so, Mr. Nelly caught it last month.

1597
01:38:48,183 --> 01:38:54,033
And so what's being presented now for a first read, which we debated asking to

1598
01:38:54,063 --> 01:38:56,373
waive a first read, but there's really not a rush because nobody's going to

1599
01:38:56,403 --> 01:38:57,723
graduate this month.

1600
01:38:59,043 --> 01:39:03,424
So it's on to reflect our existing practice and what has been our

1601
01:39:04,683 --> 01:39:07,653
high school graduation requirements, and it's on for a first read tonight.

1602
01:39:07,713 --> 01:39:09,483
It'll come back next month for approval.

1603
01:39:12,153 --> 01:39:14,223
Perfect. Any discussion on this?

1604
01:39:14,313 --> 01:39:15,453
Yeah, I do have a question.

1605
01:39:15,663 --> 01:39:16,743
Okay.

1606
01:39:16,803 --> 01:39:19,743
So how does this then affect NPA

1607
01:39:21,243 --> 01:39:25,053
if in fact we do have a graduate forthcoming before we...

1608
01:39:25,323 --> 01:39:28,293
It's unlikely before December, but-

1609
01:39:28,533 --> 01:39:31,924
Didn't we graduate everyone this last spring? Did we? We did.

1610
01:39:31,983 --> 01:39:32,523
Yeah.

1611
01:39:32,763 --> 01:39:34,653
We're pulling all the policy back up too.

1612
01:39:34,713 --> 01:39:37,293
Yeah.

1613
01:39:37,353 --> 01:39:37,983
She's graduating?

1614
01:39:38,433 --> 01:39:38,523
No.

1615
01:39:39,843 --> 01:39:40,383
She caught it.

1616
01:39:40,443 --> 01:39:42,693
Oh, she caught it. I apologize. I give credit to Ms.

1617
01:39:42,753 --> 01:39:45,993
Danielli, who never takes credit for anything she does.

1618
01:39:46,084 --> 01:39:48,183
It was Carla Aaron who caught that-

1619
01:39:48,243 --> 01:39:48,424
Oh, okay.

1620
01:39:48,424 --> 01:39:49,863
... we adopted the policy.

1621
01:39:51,213 --> 01:39:54,393
So we could approve, we could waive a first reading tonight just in case we have

1622
01:39:54,453 --> 01:39:56,043
somebody who graduates.

1623
01:39:56,163 --> 01:39:59,433
I'd like to move that we waive the first reading and approve this tonight in case

1624
01:39:59,463 --> 01:40:01,473
of any graduates forthcoming.

1625
01:40:01,713 --> 01:40:02,703
And I'll second that.

1626
01:40:05,553 --> 01:40:08,883
Any other discussion? Motion on the table? All right.

1627
01:40:08,973 --> 01:40:12,963
All in favor of waiving a second read and approving this right now, say aye.

1628
01:40:13,353 --> 01:40:13,533
Aye.

1629
01:40:13,593 --> 01:40:13,713
Aye.

1630
01:40:13,773 --> 01:40:13,893
Aye.

1631
01:40:13,893 --> 01:40:16,683
Aye. Any against? The ayes have it.

1632
01:40:19,023 --> 01:40:21,183
We'll move on to information correspondence.

1633
01:40:22,924 --> 01:40:23,733
There is none.

1634
01:40:27,093 --> 01:40:27,453
Man,

1635
01:40:28,924 --> 01:40:30,303
I wish I could recess right now.

1636
01:40:30,603 --> 01:40:33,063
Get out of here.

1637
01:40:33,093 --> 01:40:35,853
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the governing board will be October 7th,

1638
01:40:36,243 --> 01:40:36,933
2026.

1639
01:40:38,373 --> 01:40:42,393
And, with that, can I get a motion to adjourn the meeting?

1640
01:40:42,783 --> 01:40:44,493
So moved. Before 8:00 PM.

1641
01:40:44,733 --> 01:40:47,133
I know. I lost that bet. And to second?

1642
01:40:50,013 --> 01:40:50,403
Oh.

1643
01:40:51,693 --> 01:40:52,983
Hi.

1644
01:40:53,283 --> 01:40:57,573
I second it. I second it. All in favor of adjourning the meeting say aye.

1645
01:40:58,203 --> 01:40:58,473
Aye.

1646
01:40:58,473 --> 01:40:58,473
Aye.

1647
01:40:58,593 --> 01:40:58,893
Aye.

1648
01:40:58,983 --> 01:41:01,263
Aye. Any against? The ayes have it.

1649
01:41:01,323 --> 01:41:03,213
I was about to say, this is the second time that-
