00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Let's go to district board meeting. I am Deborah Curtis President of the Oxence School Board. Today we are having a hybrid board meeting with the trustees and the administrative team are in the district office in person. We also have some members of the public in prison. We are also offering Zoom in an online option at the same time. We do it all. To comment by video conference, click the raise your hand button in your Zoom.

2
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,780
to request a speaker in the public comment section.

3
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,280
Our facilitator, Ms. Mitchell, will then unmute each member each speaker

4
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,600
and we will be able to hear your comments live.

5
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:14,820
But we will start with the people, the comments that are here in person first

6
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:16,960
and then we will go to the Zoom comments.

7
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:23,080
To comment by phone, you will be prompted to raise your hand by pressing star nine.

8
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:27,280
You will be called on either by name or by the last three digits

9
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,940
of the phone number you are calling from and then you will be unmuted and allowed to make

10
00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:32,840
the public comment.

11
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:38,560
We are very excited to begin our new school year and I extend my people appreciation to

12
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,000
all the students and staff and families and our entire Oxnard community for your continued resilience

13
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,120
and dedication to each other.

14
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:52,400
We are now in a time of transition as we find a new way of engaging.

15
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,620
We appreciate your support and patience during these times.

16
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:57,780
Thank you.

17
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,580
Now I would like to call the meeting to order.

18
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,160

And now I would like to introduce Dr. Ginger Shade, Director of Enrichment and Special Programs.

27
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:26,980
to what introduce a few students that will lead the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance and the mission and vision statements.

28
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,020
All right, good evening, members of the board, President Cordaz and Cabinet, members of Cabinet.

29
00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:39,600
I would like to introduce to you two students who I had the pleasure of getting to know the summer and the writing and science camp.

30
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:42,500
Kayla Looney and Lailani, Todd Tuitami.

31
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,500
I'd like to invite them up to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

32
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:57,530
Please stand.

33
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920
Put your right hand over your heart.

34
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:09,280
Ready?

35
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,540
Begin.

36
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,140
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which

37
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:24,760
stands, my nation, under God, indivisible, liberty, and justice for all.

38
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:34,190
I would like to also ask that they read our vision and mission statements.

39
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,800
and powering all children to achieve excellent.

40
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,540
And share a culturally diverse education

41
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:53,100
for each student in a safe, healthy and supportive environment

42
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,500
that prepares students for college and career opportunities.

43
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:04,560
And to read our vision and mission statement in Spanish,

44
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,460
I've asked no one need all this to join us.

45
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Good evening.

46
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:10,520
When I'm not just no one need all this,

47
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,600
Director of Early Childhood Education Programs,

48
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,300
Directorate of the Education Program in Perala.

49
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,300
Vision capacitara cada alumno para que logre la excelencia académica.

50
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:27,680
Mission asegurar una educación culturalmente diversa para todo el alumado.

51
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:33,900
En un ambiente seguro, saludable y propicio que les crepare para la universidad.

52
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,820
Y el acceso a oportunidades para desarrollar una carrera profesional.

53
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:44,270
Thank you.

54
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:45,170
We see this.

55
00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:49,770
We have some recognition for the two of you.

56
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:51,770
So please come back and join me up here.

57
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:53,790
I haven't done this in a while.

58
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:55,910
I know it's been a while since we've had students.

59
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:59,270
Because our first students to come in and do this post-pants.

60
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:26,620
Then what we've done in the past is we've talked to the students and asked them a little bit if they could share with us what their dreams are, what do they see in their future? Okay, so just roll brief, don't want to picture on the spot. If you haven't thought about it, that's okay. You can say, I'm not quite sure, but hopefully you've got some kind of a plan, something you would like to do because you know what guys, you can have to work the rest of your lives. Okay, so you might as well find something that you enjoy.

61
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:35,320
Okay, so we'll start with Lila, Lila, Lila Ghi, Lila Ghi, Lila Ghi, Lila Ghi, Lila Ghi, come on Nepini.

62
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Congratulations. Here's just a quick appreciation. Thank you very much for joining us this evening.

63
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,560
And then you want to share with us a little bit what your dreams are.

64
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:51,040
My dream is to succeed in life, to do good,

65
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:56,600
to...

66
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,040
Drive my life to work hard. We'll get a job. You think you might feel like I want to be a lawyer

67
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:13,540
Okay, that's great. Yeah, thank you. Congratulations. They're here because we'll take a picture. Thank you. Yeah

68
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:18,200
Hiya, come on up for me. Congratulations. Thank you for being through with us

69
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:26,310
What do you see yourself doing in 10 years for three years? I see myself being a tech designer

70
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:50,910
I would love to design tech for, you know, the old, so then, you know, those chairs that go up the stairs and up and down, you know, design better ones, make the world evolve better, make a better environment for everybody, for everybody can feel safe and comfortable, but make it like smart tech, you know, like smart homes, you know, very good.

71
00:06:52,770 --> 00:06:59,350
Okay, congratulations. Thank you. And so we'll take a little picture here in this show. You want to join us a bit with a car and see you with us.

72
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:00,210
One up.

73
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,720
That's good.

74
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,140
When we've over just a little bit so we won't have the problem here in the movie.

75
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:11,740
Is that okay?

76
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:42,890
Old people. That's going to be.

77
00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:44,350
That's already me, I guess.

78
00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:49,770
So, okay, thank you very much.

79
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:52,010
Michelle, you're going to go ahead and give us a presentation.

80
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:54,010
Dr. Shay?

81
00:07:54,870 --> 00:07:55,090
Yes.

82
00:07:56,950 --> 00:08:00,930
All right, I am super excited to be here to

83
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:04,670
present about our writing and science camp that we had

84
00:08:04,670 --> 00:08:07,450
a writing science and math camp that we had this summer.

85
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:10,310
And the other programs that we had happening

86
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:11,910
concurrently at our schools.

87
00:08:13,590 --> 00:08:19,710
So this summer we had the writing science and math camp that we offered to students who were in grades

88
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:23,850
when a rising kindergartner, so they were rising in different.

89
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:28,090
I should get this straight because everybody gets confused.

90
00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:32,390
Wait, what grade are they in? They left kindergarten, so they are rising first graders.

91
00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:38,090
Moving, I'm all the way up through our rising eighth graders, which means they were in seventh grade last year.

92
00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:44,810
so it's the summer in between. We also offered ready set go, which is our preschool program

93
00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:51,030
design for students who have not had any preschool experience, and it's a 20-day program to

94
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:56,910
get them used to school. We have more information on that later in the presentation, and our

95
00:08:56,910 --> 00:09:02,130
extended school year, which was also offered during the summer, and it's slightly off-scheduled to

96
00:09:02,130 --> 00:09:08,870
programs that we offered. The Ventura County Office of Education has usually offered our migrant

97
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:14,710
program in person at one of our campuses over the summer and this summer they chose to stay virtual.

98
00:09:17,570 --> 00:09:24,190
So our writing and science and math camp was themed after going to Harvard. We took advantage

99
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:29,670
of a lot of really great educational programs and so we talked to our students as if we were Harvard

100
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:37,270
or Ivy League Bound, we included the math program that Julie Prader has been working on with our teachers.

101
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:42,290
We brought that into our summer program and had training for all of our teachers from Stanford.

102
00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:49,470
We had the Teachers College provide us a reading and early literacy program for our student,

103
00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:51,370
a rising first and second graders.

104
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:54,050
And we offered our engineering as a...

105
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,500
So, quite literally, we offered our students an Ivy League summer program.

106
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:10,140
Our partners, we had several in order to make our program happen this year.

107
00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:17,660
So, certainly, we've had some fabulous staff from Oxnard School District from teachers to custodial to office staff.

108
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:26,900
We've had the Oxnard Scholars Program, who offers our afterschool program and they helped with leadership and supervision of the program in the afternoon.

109
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:42,440
ArtTrack to provide art activities aligned with our math program, sports for learning, to provide recreation activities for our students, that included social and emotional activities, how to center yourself, how to connect.

110
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:53,360
We offered the Youth Cinema Project in one of our school sites and obviously the math program was done in partnership with you cubed through Stanford.

111
00:10:54,180 --> 00:11:04,820
We've had hip-hop mindset provide dance for our little to our bigs in the program and we also had agricultural education programs that were brought in by C.A.

112
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:11,360
students for echo education and agriculture and those were all really great and

113
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,760
fun activities. And an activity that was slipped in by the Oxnard Scholars was an

114
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,600
opportunity to speak with one of the BMX athletes that competed in the Olympics

115
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,700
this year. So the students had a zoom with one of our BMX competitors and had

116
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:30,060
the opportunity in some of their classes to learn about the Olympics. Every four

117
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:33,980
years you'll see me go a little nutty. I love the Olympics and I think it was

118
00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:35,420
really great to bring that for our kids.

119
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:40,520
So this year for our writing science and math camp,

120
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:45,320
we had 1,500 applications for students to participate.

121
00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:48,260
This exceeds any number of applications

122
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:51,080
that we've received in the past for our writing and science camp.

123
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400
We usually average about 1,000 for the summer.

124
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Our goal was to try to accommodate as many of those students

125
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,620
as we possibly could.

126
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,400
So we hired as many teachers as we could to provide the program.

127
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,980
and we were able to serve anybody who applied to the program or who wanted to be into the program

128
00:12:08,980 --> 00:12:13,960
late. So families who called us two days before the program started, we were able to accommodate

129
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:20,300
them in our classrooms. We ran the program for four weeks. It was the entire month of July.

130
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:28,300
We worked with our teachers to train them by providing eight sessions for them to receive the

131
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:33,400
curriculum from Stanford, very intentional focused work offered by Julie Prater and

132
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Kathy Williams from Stanford. And we additionally provided them training in the

133
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280
engineering program with Sarah Ruskin and John Miller providing that to the

134
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,800
teachers and then offered them collaborative time to help coordinate those lessons.

135
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:52,480
We had 69 teachers that taught in the summer program and I'm telling you

136
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:59,280
everybody who applied to teach was teaching in this summer program. If it was a fit with the

137
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:05,120
great grade level and what they wanted to achieve over the summer. We did all of our trainings

138
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,620
via Zoom and we provided all of that training in the month of May so that our teachers could

139
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:18,280
have a break in June before they started the program in July, which I think is a welcome change of pace

140
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,600
from ending the school year and then jumping into the summer program.

141
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:26,880
A typical day for our students was for them to spend the morning with our teachers, working

142
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,740
on writing science and math.

143
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,020
Our little's were engaged in a Play-Doh experiment where they actually were trying to improve

144
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:37,960
the actual Play-Doh project or product.

145
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,420
They were given the ingredients to mix and to experiment with how it was originally made

146
00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:51,060
and to find ways of making it more elastic, or making it more pasty, or however they explored with it.

147
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:58,340
To our junior high students, Kayla and LeLani could tell you they got worked on Operation Outbreak,

148
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:08,340
studying the spread of viruses and how viruses change in structure and how they can

149
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:16,320
antivirals and things, just all sorts of science around virus, which was very appropriate for the

150
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:23,740
summer. Our math program was focused on growth mindset and challenging our students to go through

151
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:30,180
and do some of the thinking strategies that were incorporated with the U-Cube program.

152
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,500
And the afternoon was spent with our scholars program and the students rotating between enrichment

153
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:42,640
opportunities such as arts, sports for learning, and art track where we brought in the actual

154
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:49,480
art and structure instructors from the program itself and they provided lessons and artwork

155
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,360
that were aligned with the math activities the students did in the morning.

156
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,000
On their name cards, and so they had certain numbers representing for each letter of their name and were playing around with decoding and having fun with that.

157
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:26,980
Our rising first and second graders, here's some of the examples of projects that they were able to complete, and our hip-hop mindset program running for the little, which was always cute to watch them wiggle, because the music they just couldn't still, and they kind of got up into the beat.

158
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:33,340
And our rising third through eighth graders, of course, had quite a few.

159
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:38,900
As I'm seeing here, we had virtual field trips that were provided by the LA Science Center.

160
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,020
They had to reinvent themselves through the pandemic,

161
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,580
and actually were offering virtual field trips to our schools.

162
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,820
And that was a really great experience.

163
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,940
They came in, they tested all of our programming and software,

164
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:54,140
and they made sure that what they presented was appropriate for

165
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:57,080
what our students had access to in the classrooms.

166
00:15:57,820 --> 00:15:59,760
So they had to permit the in-boards, the TVs,

167
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,640
and they also, the students had their iPads

168
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,340
where they were able to interact and ask questions,

169
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,740
related to the presentation of what was going on

170
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:08,100
at the LA Science Center.

171
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:12,320
We had a lot of special activities going on,

172
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,720
one that just made the news on display at the America yesterday,

173
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,980
which is really exciting.

174
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:21,140
The youth cinema project that was offered at Caesar Chavez

175
00:16:21,140 --> 00:16:30,720
to a group of 7th and 8th graders was offered. Our students created and made public service announcements

176
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:38,200
relating to better food, global warming, reptile care, stop grilling, which I can't wait to see

177
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,700
because I'm curious with that one's all about. Air pollution don't smoke, food insecurity and

178
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:49,880
stop littering, and these public service announcements were looking to schedule a showing event,

179
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,260
which I hope to invite all of the board members to attend.

180
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,720
We also had, as I spoke earlier, the Science Center.

181
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,380
We had C-Agg, the students for Echo Education

182
00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:04,760
and Agriculture come in and provide lessons

183
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920
on what are the local crops that we grow around here

184
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,320
and how far do they travel?

185
00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:11,280
What's the importance?

186
00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:13,480
What's the economics behind it?

187
00:17:13,620 --> 00:17:15,380
They made a lot of really good connections

188
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:18,740
with our students behind the importance of where we live

189
00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:26,680
what we do here in Oxford. We also had box cars and when I jacks zoom in for a day and do

190
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,600
math games with students in one of the afternoon so that they were provided some dice and they

191
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,920
learned some dice and card games that they could play with their friends and with their families at home

192
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,620
and the students were sent home with those materials to do that with their friends.

193
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,560
So I've included

194
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,600
some pictures here to just show you if you didn't have an opportunity to walk through our summer

195
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,720
program and I believe some of our board members did have the opportunity.

196
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:57,100
These are our first and second graders that are working on the Plato experiment.

197
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,220
They are mixing and making observations and coming up with what's the difference if I

198
00:18:04,220 --> 00:18:08,300
add too much thought what happens, looking at all of the details.

199
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:16,320
In addition to that, we had a class that worked on the catapult launch, so the students

200
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:22,020
built catapults. It was very happy to show up that day because I was actually watching the students

201
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:27,320
launch their their balls across the room and measure the distance to where it first bounced

202
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:34,180
and they had a really great time with that. We had the students engaged in the math activities

203
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:41,160
and here's an example of the art program from the afternoon connecting in with math and then

204
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:47,960
I'm one of Ms. Prater's Frayer models that the students were able to do is they were reasoning

205
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,040
and looking at four different ways to solve a problem.

206
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:59,000
We had the students working on writing and part of the engineering curriculum was to get them

207
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,120
thinking about what they'd like to be when they grow up spending some time on what their

208
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:08,280
future career is and I think it was the second day of the program that I walked in to see

209
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,820
my future career. If you take a close look, you've got astronaut, graphic designer, electric engineer,

210
00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:20,760
screenwriter, artist, interior designer, you've got all sorts of jobs that are listed there.

211
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,560
And if you read the column about how to become this, earn a bachelor's degree, practice,

212
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:33,180
writing practice, practice, hard work. So the students were really getting the perseverance

213
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:38,440
with key to that. And then they attach their names to it. So we knew who was writing which

214
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,080
goal and and and talked that along. In the first and second grade classrooms of students

215
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,480
were supposed to draw pictures of themselves as engineers. And I think this is one of my

216
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,600
favorites because I think I see every tool that my husband has in the garage at home.

217
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,100
Very creative as he was going through that. In our middle school program we had a construction

218
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:13,240
talent and these students actually had to build a structure and which you can see in the very first

219
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:19,480
pictures there's a bucket of pennies and they placed a penny in one at a time to determine at which point, how

220
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:25,500
many pennies could they put in before the structure would break and so you see the structures in the

221
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:31,160
the classroom here that shows what all of the students did and how successful they were in the

222
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:38,620
different building techniques that they had. We had a lot of thinking and writing strategies with

223
00:20:38,620 --> 00:20:45,920
our growth mindset program. This was one of the counting strategies and number groups and I know

224
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Ms. Prater, I'm not maybe going to do this one justice but the different representations of how

225
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,360
identifying groups of numbers. So we had a student who was making some observation to the patterns

226
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:09,380
here that he noticed all the representations or circles. And everything was wrecked. You have a

227
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:16,360
circle that's building everything or not. Nicholas noticed that if you move to the left diagonally,

228
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:23,100
the numbers add by six. And if you move to the right diagonally, the numbers add by eight. So we had

229
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:28,820
students working towards making observations of what they see and capturing that and sharing

230
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:34,320
the information with their friends so that they could identify and see the math in a picture

231
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,480
that they've got in front of them.

232
00:21:37,540 --> 00:21:42,740
We had our ready set go program and I know Ms. Noah Mevelle does is here. She handed me

233
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:46,960
some slides. I think it's important for us to talk about our summer program as being one

234
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,980
comprehensive program that we offer. So she offered this to our incoming

235
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:58,820
Kinder students without preschool or TK experience, we had one class at every school site

236
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:05,920
with the exception of one school that had to. She was able to pair our OSDs or to vacated teachers

237
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,820
with classified teachers, so there was a really great partnership and collaboration to take

238
00:22:10,820 --> 00:22:17,100
place with that in the preschool or the ready set go classrooms. There was a focus on language

239
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:24,600
literacy math and a we engineering kit so she also picked up the engineering program and they were able to

240
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,760
weave in social and emotional development and for a lot of our kids you know they show up to

241
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,320
kindergarten on the first day if they haven't had preschool it's very hard for them to make that

242
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:39,340
transition so what they get to see is an introduction to classroom rules and routines and the goal is

243
00:22:39,340 --> 00:22:47,080
that by the end of the summer when they come in on the first day of school in the fall that they're

244
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,420
they're really ready to go.

245
00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:54,900
So here you see them learning in all different settings

246
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:58,580
within the classroom, building and constructing,

247
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,740
using hands-on exploration and cooperative learning

248
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:03,600
with other students in the class,

249
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,200
and playing with others, working on numbers

250
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,660
since and making art.

251
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:12,480
And they were all sent with a kit of items to take home,

252
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,840
so they have school supplies for when they start school

253
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,460
in the fall.

254
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:23,220
The ready set go program was able to serve 180 students over the course of the summer, which is really great.

255
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:32,020
We were able to provide that pre-school experience in person, especially since a lot of our kiddos have had a virtual experience for the past 18 months.

256
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:42,340
The extended school year program was offered at Karen and Marshall, and we had over 200 students that participated in that program.

257
00:23:42,340 --> 00:23:48,660
the majority of the families that qualify for extended school year chose in-person learning

258
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:55,280
and were provided transportation if that was part of the expectation. We had a lot of extra

259
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,360
reading time students and reading horizons they got over 40 hours of instruction there. They

260
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:07,440
moderate severe students were able to use the adopted curriculum and materials. They also worked

261
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,800
with art truck to provide art lessons to the students. It was a really great partnership with

262
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,700
the summer, provided physical education and sauce miles every day.

263
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,140
I want to say thank you to all of the people that took to run this program the summer.

264
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,720
We opened eight school sites and all of our previous summers we've opened four.

265
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:34,380
This took a huge effort by all of the administration that took place in supervising and being

266
00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:39,080
part of the programs at the schools, but also with the teacher commitment and training that

267
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,220
took to come in and provide, take the time from their summer, office staff, counselors, health

268
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:51,340
techs, nurses, campus supervisors, the warehouse, the warehouse was really great. We had,

269
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,080
we easily had four or five pallets of supplies that needed to get out to the schools between

270
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,860
the last day of school in the first day of the summer program.

271
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,880
And they were really great and supportive to work with us. And I'd also like to thank all of our partners that joined us in this adventure.

272
00:25:08,660 --> 00:25:14,260
So thank you. I don't know if there's any questions, but that is our summer school in a wrap.

273
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,720
Thank you, Dr. Say. Do we have any questions or comments about the summer program?

274
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,020
Yes, go ahead.

275
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,720
What's the extended learning program?

276
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:37,040
The extended, the ASY extended school year is a program that's offered to students who

277
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,220
may need a summer program to help them continue their progress towards their goals and special education.

278
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,100
Thank you.

279
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:45,980
Thank you.

280
00:25:46,180 --> 00:25:47,040
Any other questions?

281
00:25:48,260 --> 00:25:49,040
I'll just have a comment.

282
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,260
Thank you, Dr. Shay, no my daughter enjoyed the program.

283
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:54,640
To some of my first shoes, like summer school,

284
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,780
I don't want it.

285
00:25:56,540 --> 00:25:59,100
But she, you know, as the weeks went by,

286
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:00,160
she really enjoyed the program.

287
00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:01,740
And I know she met new friends.

288
00:26:02,580 --> 00:26:03,440
Thank you for the program.

289
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,020
That's great. Thank you.

290
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Okay, thank you very much, Dr. Shay.

291
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,020
Thank you.

292
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,860
Thank you. Thank you.

293
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:11,220
Thank you.

294
00:26:13,370 --> 00:26:17,750
Okay, moving on to item A5 adoption of the agenda.

295
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:22,070
Do we have any changes for the agenda?

296
00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:24,750
I'll take the letter for it.

297
00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:29,930
I would just like to pull a President Court as a Section C.

298
00:26:30,730 --> 00:26:35,930
You can set a agenda C9 established abolished reduced hours.

299
00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:37,330
C9.

300
00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:40,630
Anything else?

301
00:26:41,250 --> 00:26:42,010
It's all I have.

302
00:26:43,010 --> 00:26:43,770
Anyone else?

303
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:50,790
Okay. Thank you. So if I could have a motion to adopt the agenda as presented.

304
00:26:51,970 --> 00:26:56,270
So move. Second. Hey, roll call.

305
00:26:57,370 --> 00:27:01,070
Trustee Madrigalovis. Aye. Trustee Lovis. Aye.

306
00:27:01,690 --> 00:27:05,410
Trustee Martinez. Aye. Trustee Lovis. Aye.

307
00:27:06,270 --> 00:27:08,690
President Court is. Aye. Thank you.

308
00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:15,670
Okay, prior to going into closed session, we will have public participation or comments, limited

309
00:27:15,670 --> 00:27:17,870
three minutes per person per topic.

310
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:24,810
Those that are here will go first if we have others that want to address the board.

311
00:27:25,330 --> 00:27:28,510
They have the instructions on our homepage.

312
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:37,130
You know, via Zoom, they have to raise their hand and then they will be called by Ms. Mitchell

313
00:27:37,130 --> 00:27:40,350
and also if they're calling by phone, it's a similar,

314
00:27:40,510 --> 00:27:43,970
they have to do star nine so that they can be recognized

315
00:27:43,970 --> 00:27:44,990
by Ms. Mitchell.

316
00:27:45,490 --> 00:27:48,730
So then they would be allowed to address the board.

317
00:27:49,370 --> 00:27:52,470
Do we have anyone here to make comments?

318
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:53,490
Dr. Doris?

319
00:27:54,350 --> 00:27:55,230
Yes, Madam President.

320
00:27:56,910 --> 00:28:01,890
We have Ms. Eileen Poland, as for CSEA.

321
00:28:02,910 --> 00:28:07,010
And we also have two individuals that have donated their time

322
00:28:07,130 --> 00:28:13,390
to her. However, we would like to give them a call first to ensure that they are here. Do we have

323
00:28:13,390 --> 00:28:21,830
a one Hernandez? He's not here. Okay. And Lewis, the gorilla, they had to leave. They came to sign

324
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:31,470
up so I could have the time. But if I don't, I don't, I'm okay. Okay. And we've been that in the past

325
00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:36,630
time following where they have to be here in order to give it their time. Now I know. Thank you. I've

326
00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:40,130
ever had that before. Anyway, good evening, Superintendent,

327
00:28:42,210 --> 00:28:44,930
Board of Trustees, and all you

328
00:28:44,930 --> 00:28:52,370
assistance, Superintendent. In case you don't know me, I'm Ileam Poland. I was a 25 year

329
00:28:52,370 --> 00:28:58,170
Child Nutrition Coordinator with the Oxford School District, and I am a 32 year member

330
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:03,530
of C.S.E.A. and very active still as a retiree.

331
00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:10,610
I recently been re-elected to this lovely position of President

332
00:29:10,610 --> 00:29:15,190
of the chapter, and unfortunately I'm here tonight to speak

333
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:17,550
and not so positive a note.

334
00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:23,410
Item agenda regarding the salary increase of 4% for the superintendent

335
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:33,030
is unsettling, and while he is too be commended for successfully navigating this district through unprecedented crisis,

336
00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:43,410
we feel that 4% is a little bit more than should be done at this time.

337
00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:49,070
We need funds for students, for materials.

338
00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:55,650
The highest paid position in this district already.

339
00:29:55,910 --> 00:29:59,970
And perhaps to rethink the percentage of increase at this time.

340
00:30:02,340 --> 00:30:21,780
The negotiations we have made every attempt to meet and negotiate with the district team and have been met with dismissive, disrespectful, any base of treatment, disruptive statements, and less than fourth right information sent out to CSEA members.

341
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:29,940
We have enjoyed a long positive relationship in the past with the district on negotiations

342
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:32,080
and now not so much.

343
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:37,340
We need to bring back the third party newter facilitator to the table.

344
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:43,340
Current issues to be settled and I'm sure that both of us would like to get that done

345
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:49,080
and move on to a first start on contract language and new beginning.

346
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,600
The CSEA is asking for a fair and equitable share of the one-time essential worker

347
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,880
COVID dollars, and percentages don't do it.

348
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:06,100
Other bargaining unit members, management and administration received anywhere from 1200

349
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:15,840
to 2,500 or more CSEA is asking for a minimum 1,000 per member, which is a fair and equitable

350
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:23,700
share CSEA staff took the risk during the unprecedented times. We maintain and sustain our

351
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:29,860
students, families and community, frontline mass-to-mask risks to our own health and welfare,

352
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,880
as well as the health and welfare of our own families by providing food, educational materials,

353
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,740
and needed support through this pandemic.

354
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,980
On salary and wages, we've been offered the same as the

355
00:31:44,980 --> 00:31:51,360
and it's one and a half percent off schedule and one and a half percent on and while this

356
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:58,260
is the same percentage it is not really equitable is it. One and a half percent of a classified

357
00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:07,180
in place hey is much less than a teacher or management and administration something for you to think

358
00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:14,480
about. We are all professionals in our own prospective respective areas and we all have families,

359
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:21,480
bills and dreams, and fair and equitable is much better than being offered the scraps and left overs.

360
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:30,580
Just as people shine from the inside out, so does the face of this district. Poor morale affects everything.

361
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,440
Time to get to work on the inside. As we say, lipstick on a pig is still just a pig.

362
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:45,840
Dignity, respect, compassion, inclusion, communication, trust are, for all stakeholders,

363
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,140
equals happy, productive, contented, and successful staff, students, and community.

364
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:52,740
Thank you.

365
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,300
Good evening.

366
00:32:54,020 --> 00:32:54,300
Thank you.

367
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:55,100
Thank you.

368
00:32:58,740 --> 00:33:00,600
Next we have John Avalas.

369
00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:17,650
I'm not really sure how to address you, so I'll just say, good evening, Board of Trustees, President,

370
00:33:19,450 --> 00:33:21,610
and all the other distinguished members up there.

371
00:33:22,810 --> 00:33:32,310
I find myself here today to more of a necessity, I feel compelled to be here.

372
00:33:33,030 --> 00:33:37,510
I think that there's things that are happening in this district that I hope that you're

373
00:33:37,510 --> 00:33:40,070
unaware of, that I will make you aware of.

374
00:33:41,970 --> 00:33:47,390
We've been through some pretty rocky times and I'm here to talk about the wasteful spending

375
00:33:47,390 --> 00:33:50,330
and which we've been doing things with the money that we have received.

376
00:33:51,290 --> 00:34:00,830
I myself have thrown away pallets of face shields or those guards that we put on every single

377
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:04,610
desk, thrown away an entire pallet of them because they're useless.

378
00:34:05,630 --> 00:34:07,030
It's a wasteful spend of money.

379
00:34:07,690 --> 00:34:14,150
I'm afraid that I look at what's happening with us and the fact that we're not having any

380
00:34:14,150 --> 00:34:17,990
kind of real discussion or forward thinking and how we can spend this money.

381
00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:23,570
We had an negotiations about, I don't know, three weeks ago, a month ago or so, in which

382
00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:25,670
we were talked about the budget.

383
00:34:27,050 --> 00:34:32,630
And I brought up a concern about not being responsible with that money.

384
00:34:33,210 --> 00:34:38,170
And I'm looking at the 17 new positions for custodians and six new positions in the grounds.

385
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:39,030
And I don't get me wrong.

386
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,890
I think we need them.

387
00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:45,130
But I'm not sure that it's wise to spend all that money, I understand that we're getting $60

388
00:34:45,130 --> 00:34:46,430
million from the COVID money.

389
00:34:46,430 --> 00:34:48,610
but I don't think that it's wise to spend the money that way.

390
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:51,490
I think we should spend the money on the employees.

391
00:34:52,150 --> 00:34:56,790
Now, I think by educating the employees or even doing things,

392
00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:58,490
I mean, I understand we want to buy new equipment

393
00:34:58,490 --> 00:34:59,970
and we want to do a nice lot of...

394
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:16,560
I don't do things with the money that we got. I get it. But if we don't invest in the education of our employees, which is going to last much, much, much longer than the three years of the COVID money, we need to invest in our employees. So we can better service the students in which we're all here for.

395
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,440
And I think that by wastefully spending

396
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,360
three quarters of a million dollars or so on those positions

397
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,260
to make the schools nice and shiny and new,

398
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:30,440
which after three years, it will be unsustainable

399
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,840
for somebody like me to be able to keep it up.

400
00:35:33,380 --> 00:35:37,780
Why would you maintain a car and have it being buffed out every day

401
00:35:37,780 --> 00:35:41,340
when after a month, it's no longer going to be five people on that car.

402
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:42,620
It's just going to be you cleaning that car.

403
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,820
You're never going to never see the residual effect for that.

404
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:49,540
I believe that we have a lack of forward thinking here.

405
00:35:50,380 --> 00:35:54,120
I've been disappointed with the management and the way management thinks.

406
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:59,360
I hope that we can change some of those things because of the path that we are currently,

407
00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:06,700
we are currently blazing a trail to failure from the inside out as I lean head said.

408
00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:11,460
I find it incredibly insensitive, unprofessional,

409
00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:18,520
and without the ability to have transparency between us and my time is up. I apologize but

410
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,980
I just feel compelled to be here to let you know there are things happening that are not

411
00:36:24,980 --> 00:36:33,100
only wasteful but dangerous. We have dangerous things happening and I wish I had a little more

412
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:42,200
to make you aware of them but just one thing. Over at M&O we had the administrator take down the

413
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:49,620
tension wires for the building so he could place a door there. Why are we doing things like this?

414
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:55,080
You know the doors at my school? The fire doors are not working. These are things that are dangerous

415
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:02,940
to us and our children. So please we have to better educate our people. Let's invest in that

416
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:07,650
Because with this money, it's we're not gonna see this money. This kind of money ever again

417
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:10,530
I apologize for going over. Thank you very much

418
00:37:15,660 --> 00:37:16,660
Ray, man.

419
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:32,420
Our body our choice

420
00:37:44,910 --> 00:37:45,910
Martin mayor.

421
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:56,270
We're buddy. I just wanted to say I

422
00:37:56,270 --> 00:38:04,160
Took out time my day precious day to to come down here and I I feel like I have to babysit all you just to

423
00:38:04,930 --> 00:38:06,510
Tell you what's on my mind

424
00:38:07,050 --> 00:38:14,650
I think there's a lot of people that are really mad, the way you're going with this whole

425
00:38:14,650 --> 00:38:17,250
mass thing, with COVID, everything.

426
00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:19,350
It really makes me mad.

427
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,360
I'm a firefighter and I'm not going to tell you who I work for, but I've been in a pretty

428
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,840
much ton of calls with COVID.

429
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,640
Am I worried about it?

430
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:32,940
No.

431
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,560
My vaccinated?

432
00:38:35,540 --> 00:38:35,660
No.

433
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,620
Do I wear a mask?

434
00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:47,610
You guys should not be living in fear, but you guys seem to be sheep following the bigger

435
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:50,930
picture here and it really needs to stop.

436
00:38:51,130 --> 00:38:54,730
You guys should be leaders, not followers, okay?

437
00:38:57,130 --> 00:39:03,250
I don't understand why you guys, you guys are in a critical position here to make a difference.

438
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:10,350
This is where, this is where it meets into, to force vaccines on kids as ludicrous.

439
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:13,250
How many children have died from this?

440
00:39:14,190 --> 00:39:16,290
I'm zeroed to me.

441
00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:18,310
And I know of none.

442
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:20,470
They have zero threat.

443
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:23,550
Every child that gets sick with corona,

444
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:26,910
100, almost 100% like, totally fine.

445
00:39:29,370 --> 00:39:30,370
So I just, I just, I just,

446
00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:33,070
Are you guys even reading like any of the literature?

447
00:39:33,070 --> 00:39:39,810
You just watching what you want is it being pushed down from from above is that where you get your decisions

448
00:39:39,810 --> 00:39:45,890
You guys need to be leaders not followers. That's all I can say and

449
00:39:45,890 --> 00:39:49,010
Your critical race theory needs to go in the trash

450
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,840
mask should be an option. If you want to wear a mask go ahead

451
00:39:58,720 --> 00:39:59,980
I'm not stopping you

452
00:40:00,370 --> 00:40:13,010
Say anything about it. If you want to wear masks, but you shouldn't force it on children. And do you know what that vaccine does? I know more people that have died from the vaccine than I know that died from Corona. Do you guys?

453
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:19,660
I know there. I know it's a real virus, right? It exists.

454
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,580
But do we live in fear? No, we don't live in fear. So get it together,

455
00:40:29,060 --> 00:40:32,960
make the right decision and be leaders. Thank you.

456
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:39,800
Good

457
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,220
evening and thank you for allowing us to come up here and speak to you.

458
00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:56,940
We might be a few here, but trust me, there's hundreds and hundreds of us that are very

459
00:40:56,940 --> 00:40:57,360
unhappy.

460
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:02,740
We, the people, are not happy right now with what all you so call leaders are doing and not

461
00:41:02,740 --> 00:41:03,020
doing.

462
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,380
What you guys are doing is you're indoctrinating our children.

463
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,160
I was important in this country.

464
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:15,680
I came here at eight years old. Do you know why? To get away from all of this that is starting to happen.

465
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:22,240
Why I'm here is to fight for the future of all the kids and to fight for the teachers.

466
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:28,340
Vaccines, if you want to take it, take it. It's a poison. It's not a vaccine. Stop calling it that.

467
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:33,200
It's a therapeutic method which you can take Tylenol or whatever.

468
00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:39,580
The idea of masking our children is insane.

469
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,300
God gave us our immune systems.

470
00:41:45,140 --> 00:41:49,940
If you don't understand this virus, you really need to read the literature and not

471
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:51,340
Cloud Fauci either.

472
00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:57,660
There are hundreds of doctors that are getting together to speak the truth about this

473
00:41:57,660 --> 00:41:58,320
vaccine.

474
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:06,600
Frontline doctors reported that there was a whistleblower, 45,000 dead from the vaccine in

475
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:13,020
three days, a lawsuit right now is being pushed to the feds, but you don't see that on mainstream media.

476
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:22,120
I am here because I am seeing my childhood being repeated by separation of the six feet apart,

477
00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:28,460
not allowing kids to get to be kids and masking them with a diaper, a face diaper, because that's

478
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:35,880
what this is. This doesn't prevent you from getting COVID. And we all know what works. It's out there.

479
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:42,320
The hospitals aren't doing it. It's called I vermectin. It's called zinc. It's called vitamin C and D.

480
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,160
An eating healthy. All I see on the news is, hey, we'll give you $100 to get a vaccine.

481
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:56,160
We'll give you, um, oh, I don't know, uh, lottery ticket. McDonald's. Donuts. How about talking about the real stuff?

482
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,200
Eat healthy. Eat your vegetables. Eat your fruits.

483
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,100
And I studied Marxism in college. I know what it's about.

484
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,860
And I know what critical base theory is, you are indoctrinating our children and any

485
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:13,380
to stop.

486
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,140
Thank you for letting me speak.

487
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:17,880
Brody, pray.

488
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:34,740
Shame on you for not protecting our students and teachers, stand up for what's right.

489
00:43:39,170 --> 00:43:39,910
Kristen Stephan.

490
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,420
I'd also like to thank you for letting me speak today and I wasn't actually going to mention

491
00:43:50,420 --> 00:43:52,620
in this until I heard the speaker before me,

492
00:43:53,020 --> 00:43:55,800
but my parents also escaped a regime of oppression

493
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,840
and a lack of freedom of speech.

494
00:43:58,340 --> 00:43:59,900
Only to come here and to see

495
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:01,700
though we're repeating the same patterns.

496
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,860
Vaccination in masks is an outright violation

497
00:44:05,860 --> 00:44:10,700
of both students and parents of hip medical laws.

498
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,720
Requiring proof of that violates the medical laws

499
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,960
we have in place to protect our privacy.

500
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:25,360
And requiring children to wear masks is also an abomination as there's a very low transmission

501
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,760
among children and few to little to no death as well.

502
00:44:29,260 --> 00:44:33,680
As a psychology professor, I can speak about how psychologically damaging this is for

503
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:40,380
our children as they are unable to properly speak, make eye contact with others, which can

504
00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:46,680
be misinterpreted, misinterpreted if all they're seeing are eyes and they're not able to

505
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,260
observed smiles, facial expressions, or express emotion.

506
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,160
This is damaging to their growth as children,

507
00:44:53,780 --> 00:44:57,200
when they're moving into adulthood and trying to build healthy relationships,

508
00:44:57,380 --> 00:44:58,420
which we know from deck.

509
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,260
Expressions, which are masked. What happens to kids who want to participate in sports activities and they simply cannot, because they cannot breathe without a mask. They're going to feel shame, sad, lonely and even more divided. Sometimes sports is the only place a child may feel a sense of belonging, and mask wearing can make it impossible for them to participate. This should be a choice left up to the parents. Children come to school to learn math, science, and English not to be policed.

510
00:45:30,220 --> 00:45:37,840
by the administration or teachers, segregation between children who are and who are not vaccinated,

511
00:45:38,420 --> 00:45:46,260
because of a lack of confidentiality of their hip or rights creates hate, anger, and an us versus them mentality,

512
00:45:46,820 --> 00:45:52,320
which is harmful and leads to more depression and in-group out-group mentality and biases.

513
00:45:53,220 --> 00:45:59,780
This will lead many more parents to home school, which opposed these mandates, which continues

514
00:45:59,780 --> 00:46:05,060
to lead to segregation, loneliness, depression, and a lack of interaction and relationship

515
00:46:05,060 --> 00:46:08,200
building, which is crucial to healthy development.

516
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,600
We already saw spikes in suicide rates among children who were on lockdown last year, most likely

517
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:20,120
due to lack of connection and physically connecting with their friends in school.

518
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,180
We should offer parents the choice.

519
00:46:23,660 --> 00:46:24,840
Finally, sex education.

520
00:46:25,380 --> 00:46:27,040
When my friend, six-year-old daughter,

521
00:46:27,420 --> 00:46:29,720
comes home and asks if she's a boy or a girl

522
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,340
because she's told at school that she can choose

523
00:46:32,340 --> 00:46:35,200
something is seriously wrong with not teaching the basics

524
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,760
of biology functions.

525
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:40,420
CRT under the guise of diversity and inclusion

526
00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:44,240
promotes racism, shame, and the belief that we have to lower standards

527
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:47,120
because other groups can't meet the bar of success.

528
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:54,340
Segregation into groups based on color already enforces narratives that certain groups were born inherently bad.

529
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:59,900
As a college professor, I've already seen the division lack of free speech and discourse,

530
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,220
which has led to linear thinking and a lack of not only tolerance but actual acceptance of others.

531
00:47:05,580 --> 00:47:12,480
If we start at the K through 12 levels, this further intensifies and leads to harm division and racism as they move into college

532
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,880
or actual appreciation for unique experience and pro-human values will permanently evaporate.

533
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:19,640
Thank you.

534
00:47:23,410 --> 00:47:24,070
Mary Boston.

535
00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:32,330
Thank you for the three minutes today.

536
00:47:33,210 --> 00:47:37,090
I'm a mother of four kids that are no longer in grade school or high school.

537
00:47:38,590 --> 00:47:42,870
A year ago, we knew almost nothing about the coronavirus,

538
00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:48,910
and Maryby took the precautionary steps to just to be safe, not knowing.

539
00:47:48,910 --> 00:47:53,510
Now, after 15 months, we really, we have an incredible amount of data.

540
00:47:54,230 --> 00:48:01,250
I would argue that at this point, kids under the age of 30 have zero exposure.

541
00:48:01,630 --> 00:48:05,670
Okay, if they have leukemia or cancer, yes, yes.

542
00:48:06,010 --> 00:48:09,010
But under 30, there are no deaths.

543
00:48:09,490 --> 00:48:14,250
A respiratory virus, at this point, based on the death rate.

544
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:22,750
It's a respiratory virus and what we're doing is we are raising a generation of kids who live in fear

545
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:28,270
I just the concept of fear is very very motivating and and

546
00:48:28,270 --> 00:48:35,430
When you've got you know the propaganda just coming down fear fear fear death death death case case cases

547
00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:43,710
It's a respiratory virus those kids are gonna get over it my whole family of at my house

548
00:48:43,710 --> 00:48:47,150
five, all of us had it, all of us got over it.

549
00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:49,110
And I'm actually kind of relieved.

550
00:48:49,270 --> 00:48:50,430
Did you know what?

551
00:48:50,610 --> 00:48:53,370
No more SARS viruses are going to get to me.

552
00:48:53,730 --> 00:48:57,470
So I'm kind of, it's like, how can you expose more people?

553
00:48:57,490 --> 00:49:00,510
So they have this natural innate immunity

554
00:49:00,510 --> 00:49:03,030
for anything in the future that comes forward.

555
00:49:03,150 --> 00:49:06,490
We should not fear getting coronavirus.

556
00:49:07,390 --> 00:49:08,690
It's a virus.

557
00:49:09,090 --> 00:49:10,130
They have immunity.

558
00:49:10,390 --> 00:49:12,030
They have strong immunity.

559
00:49:12,030 --> 00:49:22,790
Take their masks off, let them see the teachers face, let them be able to read lips, let them see emotion, let them let them be kids.

560
00:49:23,290 --> 00:49:25,090
Are some of them going to get the virus?

561
00:49:25,850 --> 00:49:26,870
Yeah, of course they are.

562
00:49:27,050 --> 00:49:32,230
Did some of them used to get the flu when they were in second, third grade all the time.

563
00:49:32,410 --> 00:49:33,070
They go home.

564
00:49:33,210 --> 00:49:37,110
They have great parents, give them some chicken noodle soup and some aspirin.

565
00:49:37,110 --> 00:49:43,770
they are going to be fine what they're losing is so much greater than what they're

566
00:49:43,770 --> 00:49:51,750
gaining by what you think is it's it's a delusion to think that you literally

567
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:29,980
I had smoke a cigarette, and I said here, and I smoke a cigarette. And I exhale, if you don't think, if you're next to me, you don't smell that smoke. Those particles are thousands of times smaller than the cigarette smoke that comes out. If you are there, you're going to smell the smoke. The virus still comes out of the side. Let the kids just be kids. They're going to be so much more emotionally strong and able than having this eight hours a day.

568
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:38,820
Today, stifling carbon monoxide, this is not the answer, it's not the answer, let them be kids, let them be kids.

569
00:50:39,220 --> 00:50:40,140
That's it.

570
00:50:41,980 --> 00:50:42,780
Amanda Lewis?

571
00:50:53,260 --> 00:50:54,820
Hi, my name is Amanda Lewis.

572
00:50:55,020 --> 00:50:58,860
I've been a employee of the Oxford School District for about 20 years.

573
00:50:59,060 --> 00:51:00,940
I'm a teacher at Emily Richens School.

574
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,720
In all of that time, I've never felt it necessary to come address the board,

575
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:11,280
although I've been there before and interviews to be principle before, which was really scary.

576
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,180
I'm glad I'm here and not there.

577
00:51:15,780 --> 00:51:19,120
So it's with great respect that I address you all.

578
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,860
I am here to advocate for my students and the right to have mass choice and the right to breed.

579
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,820
The students I had last year were afraid.

580
00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:35,320
It was almost like when we had a lockdown drill, my room became like a terror factory.

581
00:51:35,780 --> 00:51:36,920
They were so scared.

582
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,120
There was just peer fear in the classroom at that moment.

583
00:51:40,700 --> 00:51:42,720
The children were afraid to eat.

584
00:51:43,180 --> 00:51:45,780
They were afraid to take off their masks to eat their breakfast.

585
00:51:46,740 --> 00:51:51,460
When student I had to move all the way by herself and she would still not eat her breakfast.

586
00:51:53,060 --> 00:51:57,800
It's impossible to teach and learn how to read and pronounce words with mass on.

587
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,760
I could not understand my students at all.

588
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:11,080
The districts, many districts in California have realized and have made mass choice possible for their students.

589
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:17,580
These districts are clove this orange county and cold springs right here in Santa Barbara,

590
00:52:18,220 --> 00:52:26,120
which is primarily a white school district and how equitable is that that those students in that district are going to be able to learn to read.

591
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:31,740
with teachers who can show their faces and see smiles as the other people have set up here.

592
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:40,860
These districts have realized that we can't enforce masks because we can't suspend for defiance.

593
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,600
And second, there are times when kids need to know they can take off their masks,

594
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:54,440
like if they need to vomit or if they're having an asthma attack and right now how the

595
00:52:54,440 --> 00:53:01,700
feel like they have the ability to take their mask off for these normal bodily functions and at that point,

596
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,580
it becomes like child abuse.

597
00:53:09,020 --> 00:53:15,640
The CDC as of last month recalled the PCR tests that they've been

598
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:22,660
using because it doesn't differentiate between COVID-19 and the flu. So all the numbers that we are

599
00:53:22,660 --> 00:53:29,140
basing our mask policy on are really invalid at this point and people are going to start to

600
00:53:29,140 --> 00:53:32,680
figure it out. Parents are starting to figure it out as you can see in the community

601
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:40,640
is starting to figure it out. I myself am already vaccine injured from previous vaccines that

602
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:46,300
I chose to get on my own and I am infertile because of that and I suffer a great deal of pain

603
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:54,200
because of that and so for that reason I will not be getting the COVID vaccine if it's mandated

604
00:53:54,200 --> 00:54:01,200
you will lose me as a teacher and I will come back for reparations and I thank the board again.

605
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,380
I have much respect for you and I think that many of you will decide to do the right thing.

606
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,620
Thank you.

607
00:54:10,020 --> 00:54:11,520
Ali Hayes, right?

608
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,260
This is my son's

609
00:54:38,540 --> 00:54:38,540
home.

610
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,480
Hi, Dr. Carling.

611
00:54:40,220 --> 00:54:40,920
Hello, Miss Holly.

612
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:41,780
Hello, Veronica.

613
00:54:42,660 --> 00:54:43,060
Hi, Holly.

614
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:43,720
Hello, Deborah.

615
00:54:45,460 --> 00:54:47,360
Thank you for having me.

616
00:54:49,420 --> 00:54:51,940
I'm just going to speak from my heart.

617
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,280
I'm not going to be fearful.

618
00:54:57,940 --> 00:54:59,300
You're not going to place our children.

619
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,820
Infer, with these, asking us to wear these is, you guys are going backwards.

620
00:55:11,090 --> 00:55:13,430
You're brand new, Dr. Carling, with

621
00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:27,110
Oxnard School District. What example are you setting for Oxnard with the children? How many kids in elementary school do we have here? 23 elementary schools?

622
00:55:28,290 --> 00:55:33,870
do the math. I know there's not that many kids enrolled and there will be

623
00:55:33,870 --> 00:55:40,490
less after this meeting. There will be less. I can guarantee you. I can guarantee

624
00:55:40,490 --> 00:55:44,250
you it because I will be too less in the school district.

625
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,080
You guys are educated college

626
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:58,820
doctorial people. Do you think wearing mask is good for your health?

627
00:56:01,130 --> 00:56:03,670
You think wearing a mask is good for

628
00:56:04,450 --> 00:56:05,690
children's health?

629
00:56:12,550 --> 00:56:22,650
You're setting the wrong example for kids. You're not putting faith in the parents.

630
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:33,720
You guys know what work I do with this district and how many hours I have given to this district

631
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:39,800
With what organization, I will not name because I am not coming from that organization.

632
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:45,040
That's another bone to pick with that organization.

633
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,560
It was all run by volunteers.

634
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:53,280
What about that organization that actually helps the kids?

635
00:56:54,140 --> 00:56:59,120
That provides that fun.

636
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,960
Where's the fun? This isn't fun.

637
00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:11,100
You're not doing right. Everybody on this board, we will make sure that you're not there next year of the year before.

638
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,620
Whatever power we have, we will make sure that we use it because you're using your power.

639
00:57:19,420 --> 00:57:20,960
You know this isn't right.

640
00:57:22,460 --> 00:57:22,620
Period.

641
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:24,800
Make it right.

642
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,080
Do the right thing.

643
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,100
Unmask our kids.

644
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:28,080
No test.

645
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,020
No vaccines.

646
00:57:29,260 --> 00:57:30,280
No passports.

647
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,040
Be fair to the teachers that are working so hard for the school district.

648
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:34,320
All right.

649
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,180
Greg, pardon me?

650
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:54,260
I know.

651
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:54,960
How many?

652
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:55,580
Dr. Thoris?

653
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,000
How many more speakers do we have?

654
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,660
One more in the first movie I'm on.

655
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:03,020
Excuse me?

656
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,320
And yes, we do have some online as well.

657
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:06,200
Yeah.

658
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,720
Because we have to go into closed session.

659
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,740
And this is not an item that is going to be in closed session.

660
00:58:12,940 --> 00:58:15,960
So we need to do that next time.

661
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:23,020
speaker should be for closed session items and then other items at seven o'clock, but we'll go ahead and continue

662
00:58:26,220 --> 00:58:27,540
Good evening

663
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:30,080
Hail Hitler

664
00:58:31,870 --> 00:58:34,270
That we're doing with America right now

665
00:58:35,230 --> 00:58:36,670
We're going to communist America

666
00:58:38,290 --> 00:58:40,150
That's where all this is heading right now

667
00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:45,490
Guys need to think about what you're doing get everyone spoke about

668
00:58:47,250 --> 00:58:48,710
The health issues

669
00:58:49,790 --> 00:58:56,690
Just with us wearing these, our kids wearing these, the brain damage is going to do with the lack of oxygen and so forth.

670
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:03,820
I'm not going to reiterate that, but I want you to understand.

671
00:59:04,940 --> 00:59:11,820
We have multiple lawsuits against Ventura County, against Linda Parks, and all the rest.

672
00:59:12,860 --> 00:59:22,440
we have served countless affidavits. You guys will be the next in line. I'm just

673
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:29,020
here to tell you that everything you're doing is against the law. It's against our

674
00:59:29,020 --> 00:59:36,360
Constitution. It's against the Nernberg Code. We can't continue to do this. And if

675
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:44,940
want to play this, it's going to get ugly. We are here to protect our kids. We're here to protect

676
00:59:44,940 --> 00:59:46,300
our civil liberties.

677
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:55,240
So I want you guys to think about that because if you continue to go

678
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,980
down this road, it's going to get ugly. We need you guys to not only rep-

679
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:21,560
Government, because you want to get your school funds. We need you to do, like the last one said, do what's right. We're counting on you guys to represent us. And if you can't, we'll find someone that does. So I appreciate your time. God bless you guys.

680
01:00:27,730 --> 01:00:29,490
Jamie and Bergey?

681
01:00:45,890 --> 01:00:58,950
I'm Dr. Jimmy Amberge. I'm a doctor of physical therapy. I work with children, my specialty is in pediatrics, children need to breathe in order to grow and learn.

682
01:00:59,710 --> 01:01:07,050
How do you expect kids to run around with a mask on their face obstructing their oxygen? Increasing their CO2.

683
01:01:07,050 --> 01:01:09,970
Didn't know that kids have their heart rates

684
01:01:09,970 --> 01:01:12,350
are naturally way higher than adults.

685
01:01:13,110 --> 01:01:16,750
So there was an OSHA study where they looked at the amount of CO2

686
01:01:16,750 --> 01:01:22,770
that is OSHA level for adults is like 10,000 hearts per million.

687
01:01:23,790 --> 01:01:27,710
When a kid puts on a mask, it's like 10 times higher

688
01:01:27,710 --> 01:01:28,990
than that of an adult.

689
01:01:29,910 --> 01:01:32,030
How do you expect kids to breathe and learn?

690
01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:34,250
Also with their speech, right?

691
01:01:34,250 --> 01:01:40,450
Oxnard School District has a lot of kids who are learning a new language. They do not know English.

692
01:01:41,210 --> 01:01:48,930
How do you expect them to learn English from a teacher who's wearing a mask on their face while they're wearing a mask on their face?

693
01:01:49,530 --> 01:01:54,910
How do you expect them to learn how to form words if they cannot see lips?

694
01:01:55,890 --> 01:01:58,810
I have a hearing impairment. I need to read lips.

695
01:01:58,810 --> 01:02:04,390
Well, while somebody is speaking, so I can understand what they're speaking.

696
01:02:04,550 --> 01:02:12,430
How do you expect children who don't know English to learn English to communicate and thrive in this world?

697
01:02:15,250 --> 01:02:16,130
It's absurd!

698
01:02:18,050 --> 01:02:21,090
If you really care about the kids, then let them breathe.

699
01:02:21,550 --> 01:02:22,870
Give the parents the option.

700
01:02:23,330 --> 01:02:24,630
Stop living in fear.

701
01:02:27,090 --> 01:02:28,570
And do not vaccinate them.

702
01:02:28,710 --> 01:02:31,030
Do not force the vaccines on them.

703
01:02:31,030 --> 01:02:39,110
No, mandate the vaccines for the teachers, or the testing, which has been recalled as a couple

704
01:02:39,110 --> 01:02:46,150
people have already said the PCR test is invalid, doesn't differentiate between COVID and the flu.

705
01:02:47,170 --> 01:02:54,730
And can you tell me, has the SARS-CoV-2 virus been isolated in the lab? Has it been isolated in the lab?

706
01:02:55,490 --> 01:02:57,610
No, it has not.

707
01:03:03,210 --> 01:03:07,510
Let the kids breathe. Let the kids learn. We need to get them back in school.

708
01:03:08,650 --> 01:03:15,890
Do not teach critical race theory. You're teaching kids that they are incapable of performing.

709
01:03:16,590 --> 01:03:22,090
Because of an immutable trait that they are born with and you're teaching other kids that they are naturally racist.

710
01:03:24,540 --> 01:03:28,740
Because of an immutable trait because of the color of their skin. That is racist.

711
01:03:30,660 --> 01:03:34,940
kids love people no matter what they look like.

712
01:03:39,730 --> 01:03:40,830
I have three children.

713
01:03:43,210 --> 01:03:44,870
It breaks my heart

714
01:03:44,870 --> 01:03:49,390
what you are indoctrinating these kids with. And don't even get me on the sex

715
01:03:49,390 --> 01:03:53,370
education. That's another day. Thank you.

716
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:03,940
That's it. We have one more but we will go ahead

717
01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:05,620
Wait till 7.

718
01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:07,600
Wait till our closed session.

719
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:08,360
Okay.

720
01:04:09,180 --> 01:04:12,160
So, Mr. Mitchell, we're going to go ahead and go into closed session.

721
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:17,820
Any of those calls, we appreciate them calling back at 7 o'clock during the regular meeting.

722
01:04:19,180 --> 01:04:19,460
Thank you.

723
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,460
We will now go into closed session.

724
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:32,500
Thank you.

725
01:04:32,780 --> 01:04:34,680
I have nothing to report at this time.

726
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:41,140
We will be going back into closed session after this part of the meeting.

727
01:04:41,140 --> 01:04:48,060
Now we have item A10 report on independent study information Dr. DeGena.

728
01:04:51,180 --> 01:04:52,460
Good evening. Thank you.

729
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,220
I believe it's going to be her first presentation to you in this position.

730
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:13,860
Hello, good evening. Hi, Dr. Quartner. President Cortez, Trustee members, Dr.

731
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:19,320
I can get that a fort and members of Cabinet. Look at you, got me all flustered now.

732
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:28,640
I was like, well-centered. Could be the latte I just had, I don't know. Okay, so I am going to give you a short rundown

733
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:39,060
of the OSD independent study program and the requirements as set out by assembly bill 130 that was just signed into legislation on July 9.

734
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,120
Here we go.

735
01:05:44,460 --> 01:05:52,680
So the provisions set forth for this school year only school districts are required to offer an independent study program.

736
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:58,320
Parents can request independent study for their children for health-related reasons.

737
01:05:59,140 --> 01:06:02,660
Notification must be posted on our websites.

738
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:10,060
All changes, as a stated, took effect immediately when it was signed by Governor Newsom

739
01:06:10,060 --> 01:06:17,360
on July 9th and it provided school districts 30 days to revise board policies and written

740
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:22,260
agreements and have everything in place by the start of the school year.

741
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:45,080
Under this provision, pupil parent educator conferences are required, prior to executing an independent study agreement, and independent study programs must provide content aligned to grade level standard at a level of quality and intellectual challenge substantially equivalent to what the child would receive during in-person instruction.

742
01:06:48,220 --> 01:06:56,260
There are some new definitions that are a little bit different than what we were using last year.

743
01:06:58,260 --> 01:07:06,080
Throughout the agreements you will see live interaction, which is actually the instruction taking place.

744
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,680
I'm sorry, live interaction. See, I am going to get mixed up.

745
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:15,780
live interaction is interaction between a teacher or any district classified or

746
01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:21,880
certificate personnel. It could be with other peers to give students the interaction that they would get

747
01:07:22,980 --> 01:07:29,840
in a regular in-person environment. Synchronous instruction is the actual instruction taking place

748
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:37,780
between the certificate a teacher of record and the child. This can take place via zoom. It can

749
01:07:37,780 --> 01:07:46,220
take place over the telephone or in a regular non-COVID environment in person, and then

750
01:07:46,220 --> 01:07:50,520
people parent educator conference is a meeting involving atom minimum all of the

751
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:55,940
parties who signed the master agreement. So it's not just the teacher of record if

752
01:07:55,940 --> 01:08:02,180
there is another support person they would sign the agreement as well. So if the

753
01:08:02,180 --> 01:08:03,760
child needed some other supports.

754
01:08:06,740 --> 01:08:09,380
The requirements for student interaction, the

755
01:08:09,380 --> 01:08:15,140
requirement is for daily live interaction for students TK8. There is a little bit of a difference

756
01:08:15,140 --> 01:08:22,540
between RTK3 and our fourth through eighth grades. TK3's third, there is a requirement for daily

757
01:08:22,540 --> 01:08:30,900
synchronous instruction. So, and the AV 130 did not set any time limit limits for that at this point.

758
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:38,160
And then for grades 4 through 8, daily live interaction is required and then at least weekly synchronous

759
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,140
instruction so it's a little bit different than the primary grades.

760
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:46,100
Additional

761
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:55,040
requirements for our written policies, we have to include what we set forth as measures

762
01:08:55,040 --> 01:09:01,400
of satisfactory educational progress so we can continue to assess students as

763
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:07,400
they are moving. Teared re-engagement strategies, a process for swift transition

764
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:15,860
out of independent study, supports for students if needed, provision of connectivity devices

765
01:09:15,860 --> 01:09:22,600
that are adequate to participate in the program and a provision for communicating academic

766
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:28,640
progress with families. And then students with an IEP or a 504 plan must have it written

767
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:37,000
into their IEP or their 504 plan in order to be able to take part in independent study. And then

768
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:44,260
We must document participation in live interaction and synchronous interaction, our instruction

769
01:09:44,260 --> 01:09:48,460
daily and that we have to maintain evidence of pupil engagements.

770
01:10:01,940 --> 01:10:09,940
It was super quick. As I said, it was a short presentation. But are there any questions? I can feel any questions for you.

771
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:17,740
I have a question. Okay, so students don't need to have an IEP or a 504, nor to participate in independent study.

772
01:10:18,060 --> 01:10:31,280
They do not. And in fact, if they have an IEP or a 504, they have to go through a 504 meeting or an IEP meeting in order to be in this program, because for an IEP it would be a change of placement.

773
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:32,860
or a change of program.

774
01:10:36,350 --> 01:10:37,210
Well, that was short.

775
01:10:37,470 --> 01:10:37,870
I know.

776
01:10:38,190 --> 01:10:42,690
Well, there's a few provisions, but really it's their right.

777
01:10:44,730 --> 01:10:47,390
So this is so totally new.

778
01:10:47,550 --> 01:10:50,650
I mean, is there, because we've had independent studies before.

779
01:10:50,910 --> 01:10:52,690
We have, but not like this.

780
01:10:52,690 --> 01:10:53,250
I don't think.

781
01:10:53,470 --> 01:10:54,630
It's a little different.

782
01:10:57,070 --> 01:10:59,190
If you had it like a crystal ball there,

783
01:10:59,190 --> 01:11:00,130
I'm just not said or Dr.

784
01:11:00,230 --> 01:11:01,110
and I said, what do you think?

785
01:11:01,110 --> 01:11:03,870
I mean, bunch of teachers

786
01:11:03,870 --> 01:11:09,030
or I mean, is it one key to be able to manage about how many students do we think?

787
01:11:10,290 --> 01:11:12,690
Well, there is an FTE requirement.

788
01:11:12,970 --> 01:11:17,710
I believe that there was an webinar from the CTE yesterday.

789
01:11:18,670 --> 01:11:22,050
An apportionment and attendance webinar.

790
01:11:23,050 --> 01:11:26,270
And really a lot of the guidelines are still being formulated.

791
01:11:26,670 --> 01:11:28,130
So we have kind of an overview.

792
01:11:28,410 --> 01:11:30,950
We do not have, I would say, the nitty gritty.

793
01:11:31,450 --> 01:11:36,110
uh... nuts and bolts of some of these things so while we have

794
01:11:36,110 --> 01:11:38,290
you know some of these provisions in these guidelines

795
01:11:40,070 --> 01:11:40,550
uh...

796
01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:44,830
to that extent i don't know that i would be able to even with a crystal ball at the

797
01:11:45,610 --> 01:11:46,090
point

798
01:11:46,090 --> 01:11:50,670
like anything else we're just gonna have to jump in and adjust and figure out

799
01:11:50,670 --> 01:11:54,610
you know what needs to be done right and we have jumped in and we've we've written

800
01:11:54,610 --> 01:11:59,530
you know a lot of the the outline program so we are in a in a good place in that

801
01:11:59,530 --> 01:12:03,530
Now, it's just getting into the nitty-gritty and figuring those pieces out.

802
01:12:04,210 --> 01:12:04,230
Okay.

803
01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:05,250
I'm sorry.

804
01:12:05,490 --> 01:12:07,290
Trustees, are you anyone interested?

805
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:08,130
I just trusted Maddi.

806
01:12:08,130 --> 01:12:08,690
I love this.

807
01:12:08,830 --> 01:12:09,570
Did you have a question?

808
01:12:09,970 --> 01:12:11,890
I just need a really quick clarification.

809
01:12:12,210 --> 01:12:17,850
Do you describe the difference between a series you want to talk to me?

810
01:12:19,250 --> 01:12:19,970
I'm sorry.

811
01:12:20,470 --> 01:12:26,130
The difference between the daily live interaction versus the synchronous instruction.

812
01:12:26,490 --> 01:12:26,970
Absolutely.

813
01:12:27,210 --> 01:12:29,170
So synchronous instruction is the actual teaching.

814
01:12:29,170 --> 01:12:34,970
So it has to take place between the teacher and the student. It can be small group. It could be one-on-one.

815
01:12:36,410 --> 01:12:44,350
The live interaction is just interaction between the teacher and the student. It could be in a group.

816
01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:53,810
It could be daily check-ins. Well, it checks. It could be with a group of students and the teacher, you know, doing office hours and interacting.

817
01:12:53,810 --> 01:12:59,630
It might even be, I'm sorry, I didn't do that, but it might even be something like interaction

818
01:12:59,630 --> 01:13:00,350
with the council.

819
01:13:00,430 --> 01:13:05,270
I'm talking about this student with emotional support, or maybe, you know, if there's

820
01:13:05,270 --> 01:13:11,610
some kind of group where we want to bring kids together or participate in some kind of

821
01:13:11,610 --> 01:13:18,250
greater group, so that the student is in contact and connected, and that does not count

822
01:13:18,250 --> 01:13:23,270
for the instructional piece, but they really want students to maintain that daily connection

823
01:13:23,270 --> 01:13:28,250
Perfect. Thank you. You answered my question. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions?

824
01:13:28,830 --> 01:13:30,310
Testate Lopez? No.

825
01:13:30,730 --> 01:13:31,150
Testate Lopez.

826
01:13:31,950 --> 01:13:36,390
Is there a cut-off date when parents can request this program?

827
01:13:36,650 --> 01:13:37,970
This point? No.

828
01:13:38,330 --> 01:13:43,250
Okay. So if a parent's interested in this program, how would they go about asking for the service?

829
01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:48,910
So we do have actually, we have received some phone calls. They can call me.

830
01:13:49,730 --> 01:13:53,250
And we'll explain the program.

831
01:13:53,610 --> 01:13:56,950
Me or Dr. Caldwell will be working with me on independent study.

832
01:13:57,270 --> 01:13:59,530
And again, Dr. Nasserif, if I'm not mistaken,

833
01:13:59,930 --> 01:14:02,610
we will bring in the next couple of board meetings.

834
01:14:02,610 --> 01:14:05,690
We will need to bring board policy to that outlines

835
01:14:05,690 --> 01:14:08,730
in greater detail before we could actually implement.

836
01:14:09,050 --> 01:14:10,650
So that's in the process.

837
01:14:11,110 --> 01:14:14,190
Yes, our board policy needs to be updated and revised to it.

838
01:14:14,210 --> 01:14:17,810
Will we also be talking about AB 104 by chance?

839
01:14:17,810 --> 01:14:30,290
A B104, the retention policy, I, well, I can, I, I, we can be, that is the request we can do that up here. Yes, absolutely. We can bring it back. We can bring that for us.

840
01:14:32,070 --> 01:14:37,490
With the enrollment, roughly how many students do you think we currently have interested?

841
01:14:40,570 --> 01:14:46,890
How many, I would say, probably 20 at this point.

842
01:14:46,890 --> 01:14:59,970
So, and I know this is just, you know, it's new and coming to the parents, but how is the information going to go out from now and, you know, we start school the 20, right, so we have, um, I think more.

843
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:10,020
So we have the web notification that will be posted on our website that actually will go to you as well.

844
01:15:11,260 --> 01:15:15,080
And then I believe we are doing a webinar.

845
01:15:17,660 --> 01:15:20,700
So I believe next week we will do a webinar.

846
01:15:20,700 --> 01:15:25,560
to pretend that along with some of our services team we'll be doing a back well

847
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,500
come back to school webinar for parents and at that time we will share this

848
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:34,220
information with parents as well and after that every school will have every

849
01:15:34,220 --> 01:15:38,080
picture but we will be able to share with the parents that go directly to school

850
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:44,200
with that concerns they this school will make that refer. Sorry I have another

851
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:49,000
question would families be able to start off the program this way and then

852
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:56,080
which? Start off with independent study? Yes. That was the provision for us with return.

853
01:15:56,980 --> 01:16:01,880
Once they are independent in independent study they can request to be out of independent

854
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,820
study and we have five days to comply to get them back in here.

855
01:16:06,140 --> 01:16:06,880
Thank you.

856
01:16:08,980 --> 01:16:13,380
I think it's important just to mention really quickly that unlike what we were doing during

857
01:16:13,380 --> 01:16:21,140
distance, distance learning, where we had legislation that brought down the number of instructional

858
01:16:21,140 --> 01:16:27,020
minutes under this provision we must comply with the regular instructional minutes per grade level.

859
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:32,480
So there has to be a very good system of accounting of that daily to ensure that there's that daily

860
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:39,760
instructional minutes are met. That's part of the current criteria that that is part of the criteria,

861
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:47,320
the minutes and when we talk about the content aligned to grade level standards at a level

862
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:51,920
of quality, of in-person instruction, those instructional minutes are part of that, because

863
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:56,100
it would be inequitable to have somebody in an infinite study, not required to do those.

864
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,600
So basically, you have to give them some instruction and then they have to, a lot of some asynchronous

865
01:17:02,620 --> 01:17:03,580
independent work.

866
01:17:03,980 --> 01:17:08,920
And all of the assignments would have to have like time value.

867
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:25,240
So we would be able to say, you know, we assign, and we would do this through Canvas, where we would be able to assign students an assignment in place a minute value on it if you will, so that that accounts for a total instructional minutes.

868
01:17:25,860 --> 01:17:40,720
And those tiered re-engagement strategies, we have when students are not attending or are missing assignments that we have some engagement strategies to get them back or evaluate whether or not the program is

869
01:17:43,790 --> 01:17:44,710
correct for them.

870
01:17:47,150 --> 01:17:57,650
So what if a student or a parent request an independent study and, you know, we go through all the processes and, and then the kids aren't doing what needs to be done.

871
01:17:57,650 --> 01:18:00,890
Those are the tiered engagement strategies and we have it.

872
01:18:01,610 --> 01:18:08,030
One of the provisions is at, you know, if a student misses one meeting, the teacher

873
01:18:08,030 --> 01:18:09,110
contacts the parent.

874
01:18:09,610 --> 01:18:15,210
And then after that, we have it, the tiered engagement, almost like our sorry process, right?

875
01:18:15,210 --> 01:18:20,330
So after three absences or three mis-designments, we are meeting with the parent.

876
01:18:21,150 --> 01:18:25,950
After six, we are meeting with the parent and coming up with strategies to support the family.

877
01:18:25,950 --> 01:18:28,890
And after nine, then it becomes more of an evaluation

878
01:18:28,890 --> 01:18:32,790
of whether or not this is really a good fit for the child.

879
01:18:33,970 --> 01:18:36,910
You know, and throughout we are looking at what supports

880
01:18:36,910 --> 01:18:38,830
we need to be in, we need to put in place,

881
01:18:39,070 --> 01:18:41,230
whether it's, you know, a counselor, whether it's,

882
01:18:42,190 --> 01:18:44,970
you know, whatever other concerns we have

883
01:18:44,970 --> 01:18:46,430
that may support the child.

884
01:18:46,510 --> 01:18:48,130
But after those teardering engagement,

885
01:18:48,330 --> 01:18:50,850
it does become an evaluation of whether or not

886
01:18:50,850 --> 01:18:52,810
the program is a right fit for the child.

887
01:18:52,810 --> 01:19:00,570
Right. And as Dr. DeGena stated, it is a bit different than what we were doing last year with

888
01:19:00,570 --> 01:19:07,030
distance learning. This is an independent study program. So, you know, as I'm talking to parents about it,

889
01:19:07,170 --> 01:19:14,930
it's a little bit of a misnomer because it isn't like the program last year.

890
01:19:15,150 --> 01:19:20,870
So, did we have independent studies last year or had it? It was, it was, I remember years ago,

891
01:19:20,870 --> 01:19:26,830
We said have like contract and we had, they had to do this and this and every content area,

892
01:19:26,830 --> 01:19:33,550
they had their books, they had whatever, so, but we haven't done independent studies in a few years

893
01:19:33,550 --> 01:19:35,390
and as that was the same thing.

894
01:19:37,070 --> 01:19:37,690
Okay.

895
01:19:38,150 --> 01:19:39,710
Any other questions then?

896
01:19:40,950 --> 01:19:41,150
No.

897
01:19:41,870 --> 01:19:42,570
Thank you.

898
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:43,630
Thank you.

899
01:19:43,690 --> 01:19:44,630
Thank you.

900
01:19:44,770 --> 01:19:45,080
Thank you.

901
01:19:46,250 --> 01:19:46,830
Okay.

902
01:19:47,450 --> 01:19:49,350
Moving on to item.

903
01:19:51,470 --> 01:19:57,770
be one public comment, three minutes per speaker, members of the public may address the board

904
01:19:57,770 --> 01:19:59,570
and any matter within the board schedule.

905
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:12,280
This time, or at the time, the specific agenda item is being considered. Common should be limited to three minutes. Please know this meeting is being in video recorded and televised.

906
01:20:12,820 --> 01:20:24,460
The Board particularly invites comments from parents of students in the district. And again, if you're calling in, the instructions are on our web page.

907
01:20:25,340 --> 01:20:41,220
Zoom, you raise your hand and you will be recognized by Ms. Mitchell and she will unmute you and let you speak to us or if you're calling, you do star nine to show that you have a comment to make and you will be unmuted.

908
01:20:41,820 --> 01:20:42,400
Thank you.

909
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:47,200
links to the instructions to comment in a via video conference or for the phone

910
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,600
are available in the page of the list.

911
01:20:51,540 --> 01:20:55,540
The members of the public can direct you to the direct message about any

912
01:20:55,540 --> 01:21:01,720
sound that corresponds to the protection of the direct message in this period when

913
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:07,100
this point of figure in the order of the day and is analyzed.

914
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:10,320
The comments should be limited to three minutes.

915
01:21:10,660 --> 01:21:14,800
I have to present that this union is being recorded and televised.

916
01:21:15,480 --> 01:21:17,540
The directives will invite them in particular,

917
01:21:18,180 --> 01:21:21,120
if they are interested in the comments.

918
01:21:22,340 --> 01:21:24,160
Do we have any public comments?

919
01:21:25,020 --> 01:21:26,120
Yes, Madam President.

920
01:21:26,380 --> 01:21:27,140
We do have one.

921
01:21:27,220 --> 01:21:29,860
We have a Brooke Schiffman.

922
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,580
Thank you for allowing me to speak to the board.

923
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,880
The California State teacher I just wanted to come in front of the board tonight.

924
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,260
First, I also thank you for your time.

925
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,600
I know it's been a long night, and I appreciate it.

926
01:21:56,940 --> 01:21:59,720
As a teacher, I'm concerned about upcoming

927
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,320
mandating vaccinations, and I'm also

928
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:04,740
concerned about PCR testing, as well as masking

929
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:06,500
our students in schools.

930
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:07,700
I am a special educator.

931
01:22:08,700 --> 01:22:13,340
This summer, actually, I worked ESY, and I was first hand

932
01:22:13,340 --> 01:22:16,320
observing students having difficult times with their mask,

933
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,640
specifically those with sensory processing disorders,

934
01:22:18,940 --> 01:22:19,780
speech-language disorders.

935
01:22:20,220 --> 01:22:21,640
I think it's really something as educators,

936
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:27,680
and as people in the schools right now, we are the people that that are we have control of

937
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:32,060
of these children and their futures and all of these wonderful things that were given the

938
01:22:32,060 --> 01:22:36,700
responsibility. And right now what I'm concerned about is that as teachers as educators in this

939
01:22:36,700 --> 01:22:41,520
country, we're not doing what we need to do for our students. So thinking about math protocol,

940
01:22:41,820 --> 01:22:47,800
thinking about COVID-19 protocol in general and all of the things PCR tests that basically all

941
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:54,080
the vaccinations and all of the numbers that we've built all of this on is on a PCR test

942
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:59,420
that we now cannot rely on. So I think it's really important now as professionals to

943
01:22:59,420 --> 01:23:04,020
be reflecting on that. And that's all I have to say. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

944
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:12,040
Now whether comments are they we do have comments on Zoom? Okay.

945
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,880
We're trying to clarify a comment here

946
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,500
We're gonna, in person, if you just wait, I guess not.

947
01:23:20,860 --> 01:23:22,160
Okay, let's go ahead, Ms. Mitchell.

948
01:23:22,380 --> 01:23:24,360
We'll take the, in person comment

949
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:25,780
if needed a little bit later.

950
01:23:26,540 --> 01:23:27,400
Go ahead, Ms. Mitchell.

951
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:29,780
Thank you.

952
01:23:30,900 --> 01:23:31,860
Denise Pedro.

953
01:23:33,860 --> 01:23:34,840
Can you unmute your mic?

954
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:35,640
Yes.

955
01:23:36,420 --> 01:23:37,860
Okay, now is your time to talk.

956
01:23:38,220 --> 01:23:38,760
Thank you.

957
01:23:38,820 --> 01:23:39,200
Thank you.

958
01:23:39,220 --> 01:23:40,460
Good evening Board of Trustees.

959
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:42,660
My name is Denise Pedro.

960
01:23:42,820 --> 01:23:45,920
I'm the current president of the Ventura County Republican Assembly.

961
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:51,880
As of this evening, Governor Newsom has decided to not enforce statewide vaccine and mask

962
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:52,340
mandates.

963
01:23:53,180 --> 01:23:57,940
Instead, he has pushed that choice and that liability down to you, the school boards

964
01:23:57,940 --> 01:23:59,640
and local elected officials.

965
01:24:00,340 --> 01:24:05,920
You do not have the authority to strip away bodily autonomy, medical privacy, and individual

966
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:10,420
choice from your employees and the children that they care for every day.

967
01:24:10,420 --> 01:24:17,720
Nor do you have the right to dictate to parents and students that masks must be worn all day, indoors and out.

968
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:32,440
If you continue down this path, you as a school district and possibly individually will be held accountable by parents and children who will be psychologically damaged and physically injured by your mandates, not the states.

969
01:24:32,440 --> 01:24:35,540
with your actions to mandate the vaccine.

970
01:24:36,420 --> 01:24:43,520
You, OxnardUSD, as an employer who is requiring your employees to inject a foreign substance into their bodies,

971
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:48,860
need to be prepared to accept the massive liability that is rightfully yours.

972
01:24:49,340 --> 01:24:54,420
The litigation, the massive claims against this district, and probably against each of you,

973
01:24:54,420 --> 01:24:59,500
If Blink is the excuse me, could my apologies.

974
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:20,600
We have to prepare to accept that liability and that legacy for yourselves, especially when the science, PCR test, reliability and vars, numbers are so fluid and constantly changing. Also, it is the teacher's unions that once CRT or ethnic studies, it is not the parents and students who are asking for these curriculum requirements.

975
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:34,280
If school boards and elected officials continue to ignore parent voices against CRT, the result will be that school choice will be the number one hot button issue in the 2022 and 2024 election.

976
01:25:34,860 --> 01:25:40,120
It already looks like it will be a much bigger issue, more public awareness than Proposition 13.

977
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:48,320
It will be a much larger issue because school choice will affect millions more California families than those who own homes.

978
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,780
Thank you very much for your consideration and your time.

979
01:25:53,690 --> 01:25:54,870
Thank you.

980
01:25:55,830 --> 01:25:58,670
The next speaker, Jeff.

981
01:25:59,110 --> 01:26:00,950
Screen name Jeff.

982
01:26:01,790 --> 01:26:02,830
Can you unmute your mic?

983
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:05,960
Hi, can you hear me?

984
01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:07,020
Yes, I can.

985
01:26:07,140 --> 01:26:08,240
Thank you very much.

986
01:26:08,660 --> 01:26:11,400
And now would be your one moment please.

987
01:26:11,980 --> 01:26:14,240
In the board room, we need to reset the timer.

988
01:26:23,570 --> 01:26:23,870
Thank you.

989
01:26:24,210 --> 01:26:25,730
Jeff, now would be your time to speak.

990
01:26:27,130 --> 01:26:33,890
Thousands of highly credentialed doctors, scientists, and concerns citizens are raising serious

991
01:26:33,890 --> 01:26:41,030
questions about masks, social distancing, lockdowns, RNA modifying injections and other

992
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,150
COVID policies.

993
01:26:42,930 --> 01:26:48,530
However, all their serious questions about government COVID policies have been systematically

994
01:26:48,530 --> 01:26:54,070
centered, blacked out, and removed from public discussion over the last 15 months.

995
01:26:54,070 --> 01:27:00,270
This censorship is taking place on all mainstream media outlets and all major social media websites.

996
01:27:01,030 --> 01:27:05,870
The level of censorship in America right now is unprecedented and a serious danger to

997
01:27:05,870 --> 01:27:08,730
understand into controversies around COVID policies.

998
01:27:09,350 --> 01:27:14,210
Schools should be teaching students how to think critically, listening to both sides of a

999
01:27:14,210 --> 01:27:18,670
controversy is fundamental to critical thinking and sound decision making.

1000
01:27:19,230 --> 01:27:23,430
All teachers, students, parents, and administrators should be seeking out the

1001
01:27:23,430 --> 01:27:30,230
side that is being censored and finding out what points they are bringing up. I have made this

1002
01:27:30,230 --> 01:27:45,070
easy for you. All you need to do is go to this link. TinyURl.com forward slash 2YH2Z4HW. You will learn

1003
01:27:45,070 --> 01:27:52,930
why the government policies about COVID are completely wrong headed are a corrupt scam

1004
01:27:53,430 --> 01:27:58,350
and are a severe danger to our liberties, our health, and our lives.

1005
01:27:59,230 --> 01:28:04,690
Right now, your school districts should stop any PCR testing mandates for any staff or students.

1006
01:28:05,450 --> 01:28:12,370
You should allow mask choice to all students and staff and not implement any mask mandates.

1007
01:28:12,990 --> 01:28:22,710
You should also offer mask choice to all people who come to this board meeting and not implement any mask mandates to attend this meeting.

1008
01:28:22,710 --> 01:28:35,710
To all parents who are concerned, if you do not agree with the policies of this school district, please try to find some possible way you can to pull your kids out of government schools and homeschool them.

1009
01:28:36,070 --> 01:28:46,370
Thousands of parents in this county are ready to pull their kids out of government schools, and if you make it a priority, you may be able to as well.

1010
01:28:46,370 --> 01:28:58,770
So go to that web address tinyURl.com forward slash 2YH2Z4HW and educate yourself on the issues.

1011
01:28:59,070 --> 01:29:02,640
Thank you. Thank you.

1012
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:10,000
Our next request to speak is screen name Ashley.

1013
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,640
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my comments and the comments of others tonight.

1014
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:26,640
As a parent, I'm calling on this board to do the right thing and remove the mass mandates in the schools.

1015
01:29:26,780 --> 01:29:30,640
I'm asking this board to make them optional for the upcoming school year.

1016
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:39,220
I'm asking you to remove the bi-buntly PCR testing of staff and never to mandate the vaccine for staff or students.

1017
01:29:39,620 --> 01:29:46,140
This is the personal health decision that the students or their parents should be deciding for themselves.

1018
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:55,180
As we know the PCR tests is being phased out and the CDC is not requesting an extension to the emergency youth authorization because

1019
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:09,580
The tests they're using to replace this also only has an emergency use authorization, and it also doesn't necessarily isolate the virus.

1020
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:18,180
As you know, the virus has never been isolated in the lab, so how on earth could they test for it if they can't even isolate it in the lab?

1021
01:30:18,180 --> 01:30:25,540
The mass and other arbitrary restrictions that have been implemented far outweigh any threat from COVID,

1022
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:31,640
this has become a physically spiritually and an emotionally unsafe place for our children,

1023
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:38,220
and the repercussions are well documented. They have been made to feel that the world is dangerous,

1024
01:30:38,700 --> 01:30:46,200
and they have been made afraid of other people. Wearing a mass for six to eight hours a day, social distancing,

1025
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:53,480
contact tracing, the removal of sports, temperature text, testing, have created an

1026
01:30:53,480 --> 01:31:00,340
epidemic of anxiety, depression, and fear in our children. This absolutely must

1027
01:31:00,340 --> 01:31:05,740
stop. None of this was necessary in the first place, and the data and the science

1028
01:31:05,740 --> 01:31:12,500
prove it. So I'm asking this board to do the right thing, unmask our children, and

1029
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:15,520
Let them be children in this upcoming school year.

1030
01:31:15,820 --> 01:31:16,960
Thank you.

1031
01:31:18,660 --> 01:31:19,780
Thank you.

1032
01:31:22,260 --> 01:31:22,620
Next.

1033
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,880
Request Screen Name Pam Ragland.

1034
01:31:34,110 --> 01:31:35,630
Pam, can you unmute your mic?

1035
01:31:47,540 --> 01:31:48,280
Pam, thank you.

1036
01:31:48,860 --> 01:31:49,360
There you go.

1037
01:31:49,500 --> 01:31:50,140
Can you hear me now?

1038
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,420
Sorry, it took a second to give me the message to unmute.

1039
01:31:53,180 --> 01:31:53,980
No, no worries.

1040
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:56,900
Yes, we are ready for you now as your time to speak.

1041
01:31:57,740 --> 01:31:58,040
Hi, board.

1042
01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:59,540
Thank you so much for listening.

1043
01:32:00,020 --> 01:32:01,880
I just wanted to share a few things.

1044
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:08,940
I support thousands actually of special needs parents and I just wanted to point out that this

1045
01:32:08,940 --> 01:32:13,920
last school year, as I'm sure you know, has been very, very difficult and there could have

1046
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:21,300
been a lot of us in their work because when independent study is in an IEP, it's interesting

1047
01:32:21,300 --> 01:32:27,080
how it's related to the law, but that's always been a federal law. So I'm very concerned about

1048
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:35,500
students who are in the struggle socially and emotionally and the masks and PCR make it worse.

1049
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:42,120
I need to tell you in case you're unaware that the vaccines, the PCR tests and the masks are all

1050
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:47,540
considered experimental procedures. None of them are approved in California. There are extensive

1051
01:32:47,540 --> 01:32:55,560
health and safety codes that must be adhered to and at the end of all of that, a very extensive

1052
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:59,680
of disclosures that you must make to the students and the staff and anybody,

1053
01:33:02,230 --> 01:33:06,270
ask these things, everybody has the legal option to opt out.

1054
01:33:06,510 --> 01:33:11,670
And I'm really surprised somebody has been student as they're well as staff

1055
01:33:11,670 --> 01:33:14,350
with St. California. They're actually stricture than federal.

1056
01:33:15,010 --> 01:33:18,810
So I really think it's to step back and let people take personal responsibility.

1057
01:33:19,570 --> 01:33:21,830
My son got quoted from his hands for derivatives.

1058
01:33:24,530 --> 01:33:25,110
Okay,

1059
01:33:28,980 --> 01:33:31,120
guys, we're back to everybody who was fine.

1060
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:32,740
They're going to, I appreciate your time.

1061
01:33:32,780 --> 01:33:33,380
Thanks for listening.

1062
01:33:36,860 --> 01:33:38,020
Thank you.

1063
01:33:38,980 --> 01:33:43,240
Our next request is from Screen Name Jennifer Garamza.

1064
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:48,080
Hi, thank you for taking the time to listen.

1065
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:55,380
I believe that the PCR test is unreliable and should not be implemented into

1066
01:33:55,380 --> 01:34:00,760
for children or teachers or anyone. I believe the math should be

1067
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:07,360
occupational. No mandates for poisonous jabs for a virus that has a 99.99%

1068
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:14,620
recovery rate. I also have had a family member that has had COVID and also used a

1069
01:34:14,620 --> 01:34:21,000
next hypermeptin hydroxychloroquine vitamins and was cleared up within a couple of

1070
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:30,960
We don't need this vaccine, it's an experimental drug and violates our constitutional rights and violates the Nuremberg Code and it's not FDA approved.

1071
01:34:31,900 --> 01:34:38,620
Also, follow the science. The science has shown that children do not transmit the virus.

1072
01:34:39,940 --> 01:34:46,980
Yet, we are being forced to wear a mask. It's unacceptable and we need to put this to an end.

1073
01:34:46,980 --> 01:34:53,760
Also, we really need to stop indoctrinated in the children, no critical race theory.

1074
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:09,660
There are teachers in the public school system that they're enforcing their ideologies on children, and that also needs to stop whatever side they're on.

1075
01:35:10,340 --> 01:35:16,280
Additionally, we need to leave the sex education out to the parents, not to the schools. Thank you.

1076
01:35:17,970 --> 01:35:22,670
Thank you. Next week, West is from screen name Sue.

1077
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:36,580
Hi, I would be okay with schools deciding what to teach kids with sex education if what they were planning on using wasn't so horrible.

1078
01:35:36,980 --> 01:35:41,260
I'm looking at this amazing, amazing.

1079
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,360
I think it is, you can see there at the videos on YouTube.

1080
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:53,500
I mean, they're talking about what their sex education is about pornography and they show people

1081
01:35:54,500 --> 01:35:59,140
a cartoon characters having sex and bed, having sex with themselves.

1082
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,380
This is kind of an acceptable to me.

1083
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:04,300
And that's all I've got.

1084
01:36:04,460 --> 01:36:05,320
Please check it out.

1085
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:09,360
So you can see how horrifying it is.

1086
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:10,400
Thank you.

1087
01:36:10,620 --> 01:36:11,180
Thank you.

1088
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,740
We have no more comments at this time.

1089
01:36:17,100 --> 01:36:17,860
Thank you.

1090
01:36:17,860 --> 01:36:20,480
Did we have an additional comment here?

1091
01:36:22,940 --> 01:36:23,700
No, Madam President.

1092
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:25,360
Okay, thank you.

1093
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:30,420
I will go on to item C, the consent agenda.

1094
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:37,000
If I could have a motion to accept the consent agenda items as presented.

1095
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:41,960
Thank you.

1096
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,320
Please remove the second roll call, please.

1097
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:46,780
Trustee Madagalobus.

1098
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:48,640
Trustee Lopez.

1099
01:36:49,740 --> 01:36:50,440
Trustee Martinez.

1100
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:52,660
Trustee Robless Oles.

1101
01:36:53,780 --> 01:36:54,580
President Cortes.

1102
01:36:55,260 --> 01:36:56,260
Thank you.

1103
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:57,380
Thank you.

1104
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,220
Moving on to item action items D1.

1105
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:05,140
Approval adoption of resolution 21-02.

1106
01:37:08,820 --> 01:37:09,700
Thank

1107
01:37:19,650 --> 01:37:25,490
you, Board President and members of the Board, Superintendent and my colleagues here.

1108
01:37:26,030 --> 01:37:32,670
The following two items actually fall under the same categories are facilities consultants.

1109
01:37:33,570 --> 01:37:39,530
I believe are here this evening and I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

1110
01:37:39,790 --> 01:37:42,770
It's a very robust mask, Mr. Forza.

1111
01:37:42,770 --> 01:37:48,390
I mean, any event, if you'd like them to speak to more particulars, we certainly can do so.

1112
01:37:48,790 --> 01:37:55,250
There is an additional application process that's required by the state allocation board or

1113
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:59,970
SAB as we call it for two of our improvement projects.

1114
01:38:00,590 --> 01:38:05,190
The D1 is at McCollough and D2 is regarding rich in.

1115
01:38:05,190 --> 01:38:13,130
And basically, we want to make sure to be acknowledged that we have these projects that will be hopefully

1116
01:38:13,130 --> 01:38:17,030
will be eligible for upcoming funding from the state.

1117
01:38:17,310 --> 01:38:21,990
So we need to give them that notice via this formal action from the board.

1118
01:38:22,650 --> 01:38:24,990
Mr. Flores, I don't know if you wanted to add any.

1119
01:38:25,470 --> 01:38:26,750
Okay, thank you.

1120
01:38:27,050 --> 01:38:30,010
Okay, I think, do we need to take you to these items separately?

1121
01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:31,110
Yes, ma'am.

1122
01:38:31,110 --> 01:38:32,190
because they are okay.

1123
01:38:33,030 --> 01:38:36,110
So action item D1, if I could have a motion please

1124
01:38:36,110 --> 01:38:37,030
for approval.

1125
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:44,680
I move, second, it's been moved in second, roll call.

1126
01:38:47,190 --> 01:38:48,530

Thank you.

1132
01:38:57,750 --> 01:39:00,530
Now, moving on to item D2, approval and adoption

1133
01:39:00,530 --> 01:39:03,190
of resolution number 21-03.

1134
01:39:03,190 --> 01:39:11,990
And again, as a masking tape said, basically the same as the previous one, but are there any other questions that anyone had on this particular resolution?

1135
01:39:13,470 --> 01:39:17,210
Okay, if not, if I could have a motion please to accept or to approve.

1136
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:19,640
I move.

1137
01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:20,400
Slacker.

1138
01:39:21,740 --> 01:39:22,900
Okay, roll call.

1139
01:39:24,220 --> 01:39:25,220

01:39:33,220 --> 01:39:33,240
Aye.

1145
01:39:33,460 --> 01:39:33,940
Thank you.

1146
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:49,180
Okay, item D3 approval of a variable term service waiver in speech language pathology for the 2021-22 school year for Stephanie Gutierrez, Dr. Torres.

1147
01:39:49,980 --> 01:39:54,600
Yes, Madam President, the Board is recommending that the Board of Trustees approve this action item.

1148
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Turn waiver, service waiver for an SLP as described per ed code for Stephanie Gutierrez to serve at the speech pathologist for the 2021-22 school year.

1149
01:40:11,700 --> 01:40:19,760
We have any questions, comments, concerns. If I could have a motion, please, to approve this.

1150
01:40:21,300 --> 01:40:24,560
Okay, it's been moved in second.

1151
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:27,380
Trustee Malika Lopez.

1152
01:40:28,300 --> 01:40:28,940
Trustee Lopez.

1153
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:30,700
Trustee Martinez.

1154
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:33,260
Trustee Robles Solis.

1155
01:40:34,420 --> 01:40:35,120
President Curtis.

1156
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:36,940
Thank you.

1157
01:40:37,540 --> 01:40:38,040
Aye.

1158
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:38,760
Item D4.

1159
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,680
And this is consideration of approval.

1160
01:40:41,940 --> 01:40:44,130
The second amendment to employment agreement between

1161
01:40:44,130 --> 01:40:48,170
Action Arts School District and Dr. Collin, I yield a lot of support.

1162
01:40:48,550 --> 01:40:55,590
The superintendent, we have discussed this, met and we'd like to move forward with this

1163
01:40:55,590 --> 01:41:01,090
amendment to his employment. If I could please have a motion to accept this, salute.

1164
01:41:01,670 --> 01:41:06,850
I'll second. Everybody wants to move this second. Very good. Any questions?

1165
01:41:07,990 --> 01:41:16,630
comments. Thank you. Roca. Trustee Madrigalopis. Aye. Trustee Lopez. Aye. Trustee Martinez.

1166
01:41:17,350 --> 01:41:22,950
Aye. Trustee Roblesselis. Aye. President Cortes. Aye. Thank you. Thank you.

1167
01:41:24,150 --> 01:41:34,430
Okay. Now we need item D5, which was C9, is that correct? Yes. Okay. So, and I think that's it.

1168
01:41:34,430 --> 01:41:37,390
will be addressing this.

1169
01:41:38,010 --> 01:41:42,850
C9 established abolished reduced hours of positions, Dr. Todas.

1170
01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:46,240
Yes, Madam President.

1171
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:52,900
This is established in abolishment of reduced hours of position on this agenda item.

1172
01:41:52,900 --> 01:42:03,500
You currently have the Board's recommendation to add an additional maintenance manager, an additional speech and language pathologist,

1173
01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:13,160
assistant and as well as an additional 15 custodial service employees and currently the district

1174
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:20,920
has 70 six custodians currently managing the day-to-day school operations with these additional

1175
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:27,520
15 positions. They are temporary positions that are being added due to the COVID pandemic

1176
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:31,920
which at this point in time we are anticipating these positions will go through

1177
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:40,080
this year and next year the teams would we working well the custodians will be

1178
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:45,320
working at teams to support the sites to not only do the deeper cleaning but

1179
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:50,240
also to provide the district and going to that next level of support for our

1180
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:57,280
school sites so in addition to that we anticipate that by having these additional

1181
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:06,560
custodial staff with the COVID and vaccine requirements, having custodians out, they can help support

1182
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:13,420
whenever this absence is within the additional custodial staff to backfill behind them and

1183
01:43:13,420 --> 01:43:16,580
ensure that we have services within our school sites.

1184
01:43:18,140 --> 01:43:21,480
Okay, thank you. Do we have any questions or comments?

1185
01:43:21,480 --> 01:43:25,400
So I have a couple of questions.

1186
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:31,440
Where is it stated, Dr. Torres, that these are temporary positions?

1187
01:43:34,260 --> 01:43:41,740
So in regards to the way the CSEA, well, the way classified works, any position that is longer

1188
01:43:41,740 --> 01:43:48,680
than six months, will be classified as a permanent position.

1189
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:53,620
if a position is less than six months they will go ahead and you know there would be

1190
01:43:53,900 --> 01:43:59,720
extra, extra assignment and it's just currently the way the law is written. So

1191
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:05,540
though we currently do not have it listed on here as temporary because they are

1192
01:44:05,540 --> 01:44:11,680
being paid out of COVID funds and our COVID funds are temporary to last between

1193
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:13,100
two to three years.

1194
01:44:14,020 --> 01:44:17,480
Once the funding is no longer there,

1195
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,240
we will assess at that each year.

1196
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,780
Next year, we will assess, and then the prior year,

1197
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:25,800
we will assess to identify the needs of the district

1198
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:28,220
and identify whether or not that we need to go ahead

1199
01:44:28,220 --> 01:44:30,780
and start reducing some of the additional staff

1200
01:44:30,780 --> 01:44:35,840
that was brought on in support of the school

1201
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,680
size without COVID funding.

1202
01:44:38,180 --> 01:44:40,240
So will there employees, so will the candidates

1203
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:45,480
know the applicant, sorry? Well, they know that this is a temporary position that is going

1204
01:44:45,480 --> 01:44:51,180
to be covered under COVID funds. Yes. So, as part of the process, the discussion is being,

1205
01:44:51,460 --> 01:44:59,100
and they will be informed that these are positions that are being covered via one-time funding and that

1206
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,960
Over time, these positions will be eliminated, possibly eliminated.

1207
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:15,740
And what were the hours of these hours of our shift with the custodians in general?

1208
01:45:16,580 --> 01:45:26,480
And then how will these custodians these new positions be divided into the current custodians that we already have at our school sites?

1209
01:45:26,480 --> 01:45:36,400
Is there a plan in place of where each one of these are the 15s will be going to and then what what what are their hours so in discussion with the management

1210
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:50,640
What they're looking at doing is establishing teams so we will have teams of five or four depending on and their hours are currently right now. I believe it's a 10 30 PM.

1211
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:59,700
And they will come in and work as teams to address the needs at the schools that they will be assigned.

1212
01:46:01,770 --> 01:46:03,890
So their date ends at 10 30 p.m.?

1213
01:46:03,890 --> 01:46:05,810
No, they will begin at 10 30 p.m.

1214
01:46:05,990 --> 01:46:07,070
Okay, and when will it end?

1215
01:46:07,690 --> 01:46:10,110
I guess that we just closed about six o'clock.

1216
01:46:11,170 --> 01:46:12,410
Some, yeah, six o'clock.

1217
01:46:13,130 --> 01:46:13,850
That's six 30.

1218
01:46:13,870 --> 01:46:14,630
So it's like an overnight?

1219
01:46:14,630 --> 01:46:16,110
It's an overnight shift, yes.

1220
01:46:16,470 --> 01:46:18,430
And is how many people per site?

1221
01:46:19,110 --> 01:46:20,910
Well, it's not necessarily per site.

1222
01:46:20,910 --> 01:46:28,110
They're going to be working in teams, so depending on the custodial manager that would be supporting them,

1223
01:46:28,970 --> 01:46:32,850
they will identify what the specific needs that each of the different sites would be,

1224
01:46:32,990 --> 01:46:36,890
and as a team they will go in there and take care of the needs of that specific site.

1225
01:46:38,190 --> 01:46:42,850
So one day you might have a team addressing specific things that one site, the next,

1226
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:48,670
depending on the manager and the assignments for those specific teams.

1227
01:46:48,670 --> 01:46:53,110
So there will never be a person over night by themselves?

1228
01:46:54,070 --> 01:46:56,110
My understanding is that they're going to be teams.

1229
01:46:56,730 --> 01:47:00,410
Three, four, five, depending on the makeup.

1230
01:47:03,130 --> 01:47:04,590
I don't know if anyone has any other questions.

1231
01:47:05,070 --> 01:47:05,970
I do.

1232
01:47:06,370 --> 01:47:07,450
I'm going to have to throw up a solution.

1233
01:47:07,650 --> 01:47:11,190
I see that there's some janitors that are only work for hours.

1234
01:47:12,710 --> 01:47:15,530
On the spreadsheet that we received this afternoon.

1235
01:47:16,770 --> 01:47:18,470
How come they don't have eight hours?

1236
01:47:18,470 --> 01:47:26,390
If we need to hire or can't we just increase our hours to eight hours?

1237
01:47:27,070 --> 01:47:30,150
Instead of just giving them four and I see there's one, two, three.

1238
01:47:30,410 --> 01:47:33,110
There's five custodians that only work four hours.

1239
01:47:35,050 --> 01:47:38,630
I can't necessarily address the reason why they, at the point of time,

1240
01:47:38,990 --> 01:47:43,230
that the needs for those specific sites might have been only a half-time person.

1241
01:47:43,650 --> 01:47:48,110
So maybe two and a half or three and a half depending on the size

1242
01:47:48,110 --> 01:47:55,350
and the ratios that they they've developed for staffing within within those departments.

1243
01:47:56,510 --> 01:48:01,910
Would it be able to increase their hours and that higher? How many 15?

1244
01:48:04,950 --> 01:48:10,830
Well, if that was if that was the need they could go ahead and go ahead and increase yes they can.

1245
01:48:11,410 --> 01:48:16,030
It's just a matter of submitting a an HRA increasing the hours for those specific,

1246
01:48:16,030 --> 01:48:23,910
But even if we only have four, that still would only be a total of additional four employees that would go up to eight hours.

1247
01:48:24,230 --> 01:48:31,470
Now, also remember that the employees that are currently working for hours would also be eligible to apply for those eight hour positions.

1248
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:35,780
They have to apply.

1249
01:48:36,940 --> 01:48:38,280
Yes, we have to go up to the.

1250
01:48:38,420 --> 01:48:40,460
Okay, so why does that the six eight?

1251
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,180
I see that they have like Frank.

1252
01:48:42,180 --> 01:48:52,940
look freema, Lopez, and yeah, they have five custodians, and then the K8 told me have four

1253
01:48:54,500 --> 01:49:01,140
custodians. Can I, just please, I guess my question is, you know, after I've read the reading

1254
01:49:01,140 --> 01:49:06,980
the agenda, I just want to make sure, because we haven't received the plan of facilities. And

1255
01:49:06,980 --> 01:49:11,660
now we're going to hire 15 more custodians without knowing a plan, knowing that they're just

1256
01:49:11,660 --> 01:49:18,540
going to be temporarily, I just want to know what the plan is on that department, the hiring

1257
01:49:18,540 --> 01:49:22,700
and then just the structure, the new structure of the students.

1258
01:49:23,660 --> 01:49:29,380
Would it be possible to get that information prior to us deciding on this matter?

1259
01:49:29,480 --> 01:49:32,620
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but would that be possible?

1260
01:49:32,740 --> 01:49:34,600
Is there something that we must do today?

1261
01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:36,900
Or could this be brought back to us?

1262
01:49:36,900 --> 01:49:37,480
it.

1263
01:49:38,700 --> 01:49:44,060
Well, you know, I personally think that this is kind of fluid, you know, that depending on

1264
01:49:44,060 --> 01:49:49,020
how when they're needed, you know, I would even venture to say that the hours on this

1265
01:49:49,020 --> 01:49:51,800
is certainly guaranteed as far as the night.

1266
01:49:51,980 --> 01:49:57,640
I mean, unless that decision has already been made that they're going to be from 1030 at night

1267
01:49:57,640 --> 01:49:58,940
to 6 o'clock in the morning.

1268
01:49:59,140 --> 01:49:59,980
Is that a deafness?

1269
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:06,760
Or is that just a proposal at this time? In conversation with the manager, that was what he was proposing.

1270
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,640
That's what he's proposing. What is he proposing? Sorry.

1271
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:12,340
So 10 30 at night, from 10 30 to 10 30.

1272
01:50:12,340 --> 01:50:14,400
But they are guaranteed that those eight hours.

1273
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:16,040
Well, that is the way.

1274
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:17,400
And that's the way you say it.

1275
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:24,740
Yeah. So, what exactly are they going to do that? They're not doing already the custodians.

1276
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:31,000
are you talking about deep more deep cleaning because that's our custodian should be

1277
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:36,920
doing already in my correct yes you are correct so I just don't know what we need

1278
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:41,120
to hire my understanding at first I thought okay they're gonna hire more to give

1279
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:45,880
more support to for example semi-gail they only have one custodian and it's from

1280
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:52,940
two to ten thirty p.m. who cleans in the morning at that school site I thought that

1281
01:50:52,940 --> 01:50:57,600
was my understanding when I read the agenda and I'm thinking of other schools that only have

1282
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:02,820
three custodians rich in. I just want to know more information about what they're going to be

1283
01:51:02,820 --> 01:51:08,260
doing to responsibilities because they're going to be more deep cleaning or because the custodians

1284
01:51:08,260 --> 01:51:14,820
are going to be on. They leave at 11 in the at night. So these custodians are going to get their

1285
01:51:14,820 --> 01:51:22,900
1030 and what exactly are you going to do so the custodial staffing ratios if resulting in the

1286
01:51:22,900 --> 01:51:27,940
information that you received earlier today are primarily based on the California Association

1287
01:51:27,940 --> 01:51:36,580
of Business Officials Standards which we refer to as Casbo. I understood that the board had a

1288
01:51:36,580 --> 01:51:43,020
very thorough discussion about the Casbo staffing ratios not this past budget season obviously

1289
01:51:43,020 --> 01:51:50,820
but the one before that, and we are checking with the continually checking I should say

1290
01:51:50,820 --> 01:51:54,740
I do have an evaluation of how we compare to those Caspo standards, which are primarily

1291
01:51:54,740 --> 01:51:59,780
based on three things, size of the campus enrollment and enrollment number of students and

1292
01:51:59,780 --> 01:52:05,980
the number of teachers. And it's a weighted factor based on those three inputs. So every site

1293
01:52:05,980 --> 01:52:13,000
has that formula. There are very few sites where we have a delta where we have a

1294
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:18,600
need. But we would like to continue to evaluate and address and bring that to the board and

1295
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:24,260
potentially shift some of these employees into those schools. But again, the total

1296
01:52:24,260 --> 01:52:30,800
change is less than eight full-time equivalents for and a lot of times just a partial

1297
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:37,540
here or there and other sites tend to be over-staffed as well according to that state. So we

1298
01:52:37,540 --> 01:52:42,980
are very close for having about 80 custodians to only be about 10% off given the

1299
01:52:42,980 --> 01:52:45,320
changes in enrollment and therefore staffing.

1300
01:52:45,620 --> 01:52:48,980
It's actually pretty close because we've been out of school

1301
01:52:48,980 --> 01:52:50,200
for the last couple of years.

1302
01:52:50,540 --> 01:52:52,580
So that's the first thing I wanted to say.

1303
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:55,140
The second is that we discuss this in our budget

1304
01:52:55,140 --> 01:52:58,020
development conversations, which we, of course,

1305
01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:02,820
had here with the board publicly a few times before we took

1306
01:53:02,820 --> 01:53:03,320
action.

1307
01:53:03,780 --> 01:53:06,440
And at that time, the plan is the same.

1308
01:53:06,580 --> 01:53:10,660
And that's how my eyes provided the same statement I'm

1309
01:53:10,660 --> 01:53:12,960
going to say right now is that we need

1310
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:20,180
custodial teams to be able to go into our school sites and to help them catch up or raise

1311
01:53:20,180 --> 01:53:26,760
what we're seeing right now because of the increased health and safety standards that we're

1312
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:31,320
required to implement at all of our sites and we just really want to provide that additional

1313
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:39,580
support in order to address those issues at least for the rest of this year and then going into

1314
01:53:39,580 --> 01:53:45,040
next year is when we could look at the ongoing resources and whether or not we'd like to address

1315
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:50,820
custodial staffing ratios but that was not the plan or proposal that was communicated

1316
01:53:50,820 --> 01:53:55,960
and I'm sorry that that wasn't more clear at the time when we discussed that with the board.

1317
01:53:56,280 --> 01:54:03,240
So if our enrollment is going down then we're going to be way overstaffed with custodians at each

1318
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:09,180
school site correct. You know the enrollment is going down we were short about 600 kids this year

1319
01:54:09,180 --> 01:54:12,240
but we're hoping that they will come back to us

1320
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:14,460
and that we will have more enrollment

1321
01:54:14,980 --> 01:54:16,820
as you know these first couple weeks in August

1322
01:54:16,820 --> 01:54:19,340
and we're watching it frankly weekly

1323
01:54:19,340 --> 01:54:22,620
and making sure to update the superintendent as well.

1324
01:54:23,260 --> 01:54:25,880
But we definitely don't want to pull the trigger

1325
01:54:25,880 --> 01:54:29,300
by pulling away staff at a school site,

1326
01:54:29,900 --> 01:54:32,400
particularly our support staff,

1327
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,620
best just based on incremental information.

1328
01:54:35,860 --> 01:54:38,120
We'd like for there to be more of a trend or a pattern

1329
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:43,260
that gives us longer term. So what I'm saying is that based on the students that show up in August,

1330
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:47,380
we're not going to change custodial staffing because of that. Now, we may have to evaluate it

1331
01:54:47,380 --> 01:54:51,320
and change it the following year, but we are planning it is to stick to the plan,

1332
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:54,220
which is to maintain the ratios that you see before you deceiving.

1333
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:59,980
If I may, uh, uh, trustees, we are saying...

1334
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:10,080
I see a very unique situation under COVID and the needs of deep cleaning, the need of having. We thought

1335
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:18,920
that we were over that and as you can see the information now and the number of cases. Now, we need to come back to those extreme measures.

1336
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:29,600
They are connected to deep cleaning, cleaning the touch points, doing all these stuff when we didn't have all the students inside the schools.

1337
01:55:30,340 --> 01:55:45,960
Now that all of the students are coming to the schools, we still have those needs, and under these circumstances, the current staffing will not allow us to meet that particular need.

1338
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:54,440
And so, it's truly about the current demand to have the cleanliness, the deep cleaning

1339
01:55:54,440 --> 01:56:02,000
necessary, and the staff and necessary to actually be at different places at the same time

1340
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:02,480
even.

1341
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:08,220
So that is a big need and a big challenge at this moment.

1342
01:56:08,660 --> 01:56:13,080
So that's also something that we need to take into consideration.

1343
01:56:14,460 --> 01:56:17,380
As kids are coming back within three weeks.

1344
01:56:20,250 --> 01:56:28,150
And I think the rate or how it's determined is based on the amount of classrooms, not necessarily how many kids are there.

1345
01:56:29,650 --> 01:56:38,070
And I know things change frequently, but one of the things I know when they added, you know, when the school has gone through renovation or whatever,

1346
01:56:38,070 --> 01:56:42,510
that you still have carpet, and then they had floors, and then, you know, the vacuum

1347
01:56:42,510 --> 01:56:47,530
mean is different than the cleaning of the tile, you know, whatever kind of flooring

1348
01:56:47,530 --> 01:56:48,190
there is.

1349
01:56:48,650 --> 01:56:55,050
So if there's a lot of different issues that come into play, but personally, I mean anything

1350
01:56:55,050 --> 01:57:00,770
that can help our classrooms be cleaner and, you know, be more sanitized or whatever, you

1351
01:57:00,770 --> 01:57:06,270
know, we need it if we do it a year, fine if we can go on longer if we feel there isn't

1352
01:57:06,270 --> 01:57:12,010
need after a year, then that's it. I mean, you know, they can always be let go at that at that

1353
01:57:12,010 --> 01:57:15,290
time that they know that they are temporary positions.

1354
01:57:17,410 --> 01:57:19,350
Because it's an overnight position, do

1355
01:57:19,350 --> 01:57:28,730
they get an incentive? There is an evening, a stipend or like a 5% differential for working evenings.

1356
01:57:29,110 --> 01:57:29,910
Thank you.

1357
01:57:33,300 --> 01:57:36,760
Okay, so if I could have a motion to accept this proposal?

1358
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:37,600
I

1359
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:55,320
would like this to be tabled. I don't know what the urgency is if you need us to like decide now for these positions to be implemented for the school year, but

1360
01:57:55,320 --> 01:58:02,120
Well, I think we're how many weeks away from school starting three weeks away. So could this be voted on I like a close

1361
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:08,020
I don't know what I'm supposed to know. We have a special board meeting coming up next week could this

1362
01:58:08,020 --> 01:58:14,600
Can we get more information and the mindset and could this be tabled for next week's special board meeting?

1363
01:58:14,980 --> 01:58:16,380
We could table in, we're the trustees.

1364
01:58:18,020 --> 01:58:23,300
Yeah, so we personally, I don't think we need to kind of have the specific plan.

1365
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:27,180
I don't think that's our job. I think that's management's job.

1366
01:58:27,380 --> 01:58:32,380
And facilities and they're the ones that are working, so they know what they need.

1367
01:58:32,380 --> 01:58:41,680
But if that's the, you know, what everybody else would like to do and we can, it's just three weeks before school starts, I think, you know, our school is ready.

1368
01:58:42,020 --> 01:58:43,360
I don't think so.

1369
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:44,780
But they should have been ready.

1370
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:45,540
Yeah, we've been.

1371
01:58:45,540 --> 01:58:46,100
They should have been.

1372
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:48,780
We have how many custodians that we have, 76.

1373
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:54,720
And, you know, I personally, if we're going to do a plan and I know I've talked to our superintendent.

1374
01:58:55,180 --> 01:59:01,360
If we have the planned and let the board know except the end, if the plan does not work out or something, it comes to the board.

1375
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:03,080
because we're the ones voting on items.

1376
01:59:03,980 --> 01:59:05,500
I mean, I understand, you know,

1377
01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:07,380
his cabinet and his team,

1378
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:10,160
it's his team and we trust the team, but at the same time,

1379
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:14,060
and we're not given a plan when we're just having items

1380
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:18,480
to vote on and we don't ask the questions and we don't get the full information.

1381
01:59:19,460 --> 01:59:20,360
I just don't,

1382
01:59:21,140 --> 01:59:23,380
that's what I wouldn't support this item.

1383
01:59:23,980 --> 01:59:29,080
If we could table it and get all the facilities of what they're actually

1384
01:59:29,080 --> 01:59:34,100
going to do with all the custodians, you know, what's one more meeting? We're having

1385
01:59:34,100 --> 01:59:37,640
the special board meeting on Wednesday, Wednesday.

1386
01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:44,460
Well percent information at the next board meeting, that's the request of the board.

1387
01:59:45,020 --> 01:59:51,380
And then we could have, I know, Bruce stated, the numbers had each school site. I don't think

1388
01:59:51,380 --> 01:59:55,680
our enrollment's going to go up in the next couple weeks, but if we could get that those

1389
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:59,400
as well, of how many classrooms you have to students.

1390
01:59:59,660 --> 01:59:59,960
No, but how many...

1391
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:10,700
At each school site, it's based on how many classrooms they have to clean, you know, and the kitchen and the cafeteria, that's the thing that I think they based it on.

1392
02:00:12,020 --> 02:00:13,380
Right, it's not necessarily.

1393
02:00:14,460 --> 02:00:20,040
Okay, so if you could provide that board with that information and I know it would be great.

1394
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:23,140
Now, we're presenting that and we'll also bring

1395
02:00:23,140 --> 02:00:27,060
our visuals, photographs of the state of the schools,

1396
02:00:27,300 --> 02:00:29,580
cafeteria, all of that info in a whole compound,

1397
02:00:29,780 --> 02:00:32,000
so the board can see that, absolutely.

1398
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:34,340
Were the custodians working during the summer?

1399
02:00:35,060 --> 02:00:37,600
Or was it just at the school sites that had summer school?

1400
02:00:39,060 --> 02:00:42,080
No, in fact, they were working at every single school site,

1401
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:47,200
and there was a very detailed plan, a task by task,

1402
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:52,760
with the hours assigned school by school that I reviewed with the management team.

1403
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:58,680
It was very detailed a week by week on what needed to be done when in particular for schools

1404
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:01,480
that had either ESY and or summer school.

1405
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:05,760
We were making sure to work around the classrooms that were in utilization.

1406
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:10,520
So we're doing the vacant classrooms first and other spaces that were being unused.

1407
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:13,960
So it was very detailed and of course that depended on the school sites.

1408
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:20,660
And I also do want to say that what we were planning was to do five at first.

1409
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:26,420
So one team that could assist immediately between now in the start of school and then bringing

1410
02:01:26,420 --> 02:01:29,460
on additional positions five at a time.

1411
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:34,260
So doing five with one team getting those folks deployed and then doing another five and

1412
02:01:34,260 --> 02:01:34,940
another five.

1413
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:38,600
Now I apologize that we didn't provide that information to the board and writing.

1414
02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:43,780
I didn't realize that detail was requested, but we definitely can do that next week.

1415
02:01:43,780 --> 02:01:49,480
no no problem and we'll have the the CASBO ratios school by school as well and then we'll

1416
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:54,840
also provide you some of what we are observing as the needs between now and when school starts.

1417
02:01:55,240 --> 02:02:00,760
Would it be possible also to check in um Dr. Torres with the custodians that only work for hours

1418
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:06,260
if we could increase their hours to eight hours? I guess that would be if they want to.

1419
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:09,840
Because that would be more support and their employees are ready.

1420
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:17,610
Yeah. Thank you. I just want to clarify. Does this interfere with the plan you already had?

1421
02:02:17,950 --> 02:02:21,890
Like, did it have to be decided or are you guys okay?

1422
02:02:22,350 --> 02:02:28,420
Well, I mean, we're okay with what you want. However, I just want to express that, you know,

1423
02:02:29,410 --> 02:02:34,570
typically on a hiring cycle. A hiring cycle is about six to eight weeks.

1424
02:02:35,350 --> 02:02:42,730
So, from the time that a position is approved to the time that we go ahead and do the

1425
02:02:42,730 --> 02:02:47,930
flying, the testing, the interviews and all that, in general, it's probably somewhere

1426
02:02:47,930 --> 02:02:53,650
about a six week window, so as the longer we push things off, it just takes that much longer

1427
02:02:53,650 --> 02:02:59,850
to bring staff on. That's the only, you know, if we wanted to talk about sense of urgency or

1428
02:02:59,850 --> 02:03:04,610
anything like that that would really be the only thing but I mean right now we would be looking

1429
02:03:04,610 --> 02:03:10,050
at possibly one week if it's approved and we could possibly you know I mean see how we

1430
02:03:10,050 --> 02:03:15,650
can shorten things but generally it's a six week cycle on the classified side and that's

1431
02:03:15,650 --> 02:03:22,010
assuming that we have enough individuals wanting to apply which as you all know I mean that

1432
02:03:22,010 --> 02:03:27,410
that's one of the most difficult challenges we have now is finding individuals that actually

1433
02:03:27,410 --> 02:03:32,370
to work and you know we we've done a great job trying to establishing 21

1434
02:03:32,370 --> 02:03:38,070
eligibility list in last in the last two months but still it's just a constant

1435
02:03:39,230 --> 02:03:44,290
process so. And and I don't know if this is helpful or if it actually goes

1436
02:03:44,290 --> 02:03:51,790
against the board's prerogative but I understand from Ms. Shustinar that we

1437
02:03:51,790 --> 02:04:14,070
They did float five positions that are being held in a bans right now in the hopes that the board would approve this tonight so that we could get those folks to work sooner than the six to eight week time frame that Dr. Torres was discussing and is not is is not in yes, but those those positions have not been offered because of course it was pending board approval.

1438
02:04:16,070 --> 02:04:30,550
If you look at how much can they actually do when the kids are there, you know, so a lot of the job, you know, the ones that are like, when you see four hours between 10 and 2, that's like a midday, that's during lunch time when they need really extra help.

1439
02:04:31,830 --> 02:04:39,290
But a lot of times, I think that's only one of them, but otherwise you're 5-9 when everybody's gone after the after school program, people are gone, whatever.

1440
02:04:39,750 --> 02:04:45,130
And, you know, some of the people too may have other jobs that, you know, so they may not want to do in eight-hour positions.

1441
02:04:45,770 --> 02:04:47,250
You know, they may have other things that they're doing.

1442
02:04:48,270 --> 02:04:50,250
So, all of those things come into play.

1443
02:04:51,690 --> 02:04:52,330
And it's unfortunate.

1444
02:04:52,610 --> 02:04:55,790
Regardless, if it takes that long that they're not going to be here to help,

1445
02:04:56,130 --> 02:04:57,950
before they start a school year, either way.

1446
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:12,260
On that item then, that's the consensus. Okay. Okay. I am F board policies for Sweden.

1447
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:21,280
Let's can go. Yes. Good evening again. This board policy is the first reading for our integrated

1448
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:28,340
waste management policy in order to reflect the changes required by the newly enacted SB 1383,

1449
02:05:28,340 --> 02:05:34,840
which is specifically addressing the reduction of disposal of organic waste, and we will

1450
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:41,240
be coming back to the board with our detailed plan and make sure to provide information regarding

1451
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:46,920
the containers that will be necessary at school sites, and then the diversion that we are hoping

1452
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:48,160
to attain.

1453
02:05:54,140 --> 02:05:59,580
Yes, Madam President, this board policy is regarding risk management and insurance and

1454
02:05:59,580 --> 02:06:04,960
being recommended based on the California School Board Association, the language identifies

1455
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:12,440
in red italics and yellow highlights, basically being recommended based on the CSPA's recommendation.

1456
02:06:14,390 --> 02:06:24,730
Okay. F-3. Again, Dr. Torres for three revisions. Yes, man, President. This board agenda item is

1457
02:06:24,730 --> 02:06:30,930
regarding health examinations and tuberculosis tests. It is being recommended by, we're recommending

1458
02:06:30,930 --> 02:06:36,850
that you adopt the language by CSBA. And generally what it does is it changes the process in which

1459
02:06:36,850 --> 02:06:43,850
tuberculosis tests is required. Typically, we were required to have to take a TB test and several

1460
02:06:43,850 --> 02:06:47,530
years ago, they changed that to have to take a risk assessment, so that's primarily.

1461
02:06:49,430 --> 02:06:54,210
So, they required to take a risk assessment test, which is the TB test?

1462
02:06:54,990 --> 02:06:55,010
Yes.

1463
02:06:56,570 --> 02:07:00,850
Hey, item F4, again, Dr. Doris?

1464
02:07:02,430 --> 02:07:09,090
My President, this is employee safety, but policy, once again, is being recommended by CSPA,

1465
02:07:09,090 --> 02:07:14,190
that we go ahead and adopt a new policy to reflect changes within the laws.

1466
02:07:17,820 --> 02:07:20,760
Okay, F5.

1467
02:07:21,180 --> 02:07:22,460
Dr. Douglas?

1468
02:07:25,700 --> 02:07:29,880
Work-related injuries has been recommended by CSBA.

1469
02:07:30,020 --> 02:07:37,280
That we go ahead and change board policies regarding work-related injuries in the workplace.

1470
02:07:37,980 --> 02:07:40,860
And this is our changes in wording, correct?

1471
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:44,340
Because, and that comes to us by a recommendation for us.

1472
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:46,680
And this good word association.

1473
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:51,260
And this one's an entirely new, which we were previously, was not there.

1474
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:57,820
And F6, again, uniform complaint procedures, Dr. Torres.

1475
02:07:58,540 --> 02:07:59,160
It's Madam President.

1476
02:07:59,240 --> 02:08:01,240
This is the uniform complaint procedures.

1477
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:02,740
This is the second reading.

1478
02:08:02,740 --> 02:08:14,820
We brought the first reading back in, I think it was May and in between, May, the first reading in the second reading, there was some slight changes and so this would be the second reading as recommended by CSPA.

1479
02:08:16,180 --> 02:08:24,660
Okay, so this only do need to vote on correct. I could have a motion to accept the second reading on item F6.

1480
02:08:24,660 --> 02:08:26,740
Okay, we have one complaint procedure.

1481
02:08:27,900 --> 02:08:29,080
On move.

1482
02:08:29,220 --> 02:08:29,480
Second.

1483
02:08:30,380 --> 02:08:31,890
Move to the second row call.

1484
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:35,500
Trustee Madrigalopis.

1485
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:37,520
Trustee Lopez.

1486
02:08:38,820 --> 02:08:39,540
Trustee Martinez.

1487
02:08:41,260 --> 02:08:42,460
Trustee Roblese-Lis.

1488
02:08:43,500 --> 02:08:44,520
Residents Court is.

1489
02:08:44,520 --> 02:08:44,740
Aye.

1490
02:08:44,980 --> 02:08:45,760
Thank you.

1491
02:08:46,220 --> 02:08:47,300
Item F7.

1492
02:08:47,520 --> 02:08:48,720
Second reading and adoption.

1493
02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:50,460
Revision Board policy.

1494
02:08:50,620 --> 02:08:51,280
3100.

1495
02:08:51,540 --> 02:08:52,020
Board budget.

1496
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:52,720
Ms. Kinto.

1497
02:08:54,140 --> 02:08:54,380
Yes.

1498
02:08:54,380 --> 02:09:18,860
Madam Board President, this board policy was discussed a couple of times as well during our spring budget discussions, public hearing and adoption, this board policy had not been updated for approximately 10 years prior to this particular update, which is reflective of the CSBA guidelines and the recommended changes.

1499
02:09:18,860 --> 02:09:24,820
This is one important variance from those is that the CSBA guidelines do not address

1500
02:09:24,820 --> 02:09:30,680
specifically a minimum reserve requirement whereas this board policy does include a minimum

1501
02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:33,820
reserve requirement as we have discussed several times.

1502
02:09:34,260 --> 02:09:38,240
This is the second reading and we are requesting action at this time.

1503
02:09:38,580 --> 02:09:38,700
Thank you.

1504
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:44,260
If I could have a motion phrase to accept this, so moved.

1505
02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:44,800
Second.

1506
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:47,480
I've moved in second World Cup.

1507
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:49,040
Trustee Madrigal Lopez.

1508
02:09:50,140 --> 02:09:50,360
Aye.

1509
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:52,620
Trustee Lopez. Aye.

1510
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:54,700
Trustee Martinez. Aye.

1511
02:09:55,420 --> 02:09:56,200
Trustee Roblesoli.

1512
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:04,020
Aye, President court, aye, thank you.

1513
02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:14,500
Okay, Section G conclusion. Superintendents report. Dr. Agileta Fort, you're on.

1514
02:10:14,860 --> 02:10:25,440
Thank you, Madam President. For these community members. Welcome back to the new school year.

1515
02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:37,360
This is the first board meeting of the year 2021, 2022, and we are excited about the program

1516
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:44,920
offerings for kids and bringing back staff and welcome in families to drop their kids at their

1517
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:45,320
schools.

1518
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:52,640
So, I want to hear a little bit, Dr. Shea did that, but I just want, because as part of the

1519
02:10:52,640 --> 02:11:01,920
it's that I consistently do to schools, I was also excited with the engagement and the kind

1520
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:07,640
of learning that was taking place in the classrooms and you can see those are second graders

1521
02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:14,360
acting interacting and learning and talking and through the use of the mask and they were

1522
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:20,100
doing that and they actually did a very, very well throughout the entire summer.

1523
02:11:20,100 --> 02:11:29,020
I also want to officially and we just learned these within the last two days to recognize

1524
02:11:29,020 --> 02:11:38,140
these schools that during the times of COVID, during the times of distance learning and then

1525
02:11:38,140 --> 02:11:47,350
hybrid between distance and in person learning, they were able to provide students with the kind of

1526
02:11:47,350 --> 02:11:55,110
the behavior interventions, that will maybe get to want to come to school, attend their meetings

1527
02:11:55,110 --> 02:12:03,710
with the teachers, and here is what we have, Brecky was honoured with Platinum, Driftle

1528
02:12:03,710 --> 02:12:11,010
with Gold, Frank with Gold, and McCullough with Platinum. So those schools are showing exemplary

1529
02:12:11,010 --> 02:12:18,270
practices that show the school climate, the welcoming climate, so that students feel they are

1530
02:12:18,270 --> 02:12:24,530
part of that community and they want to come back. So congratulations to all those schools

1531
02:12:24,530 --> 02:12:32,190
for the great work doing and ensuring our students are feeling welcome part of the staff part

1532
02:12:32,190 --> 02:12:32,970
of the community.

1533
02:12:35,260 --> 02:12:41,360
As part of the summer program, we have the youth cinema project and I am excited

1534
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:43,880
to share with the board and the communities

1535
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,440
that the project is coming to the Oxford School District

1536
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:49,400
for the next three years.

1537
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:53,140
And the idea is to offer our students

1538
02:12:53,140 --> 02:12:58,040
this kind of opportunities where they may not become filmmakers

1539
02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:01,260
but actually they are exposed, they learn,

1540
02:13:01,440 --> 02:13:03,560
and they can decide if that's something

1541
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:05,180
that they want to explore in the future.

1542
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:10,260
We had the pleasure, the luxury of having

1543
02:13:10,260 --> 02:13:21,460
Mr. Edward James almost visited Cecil Chavez School where the program was hosted and he had a session of Q&A with the students.

1544
02:13:21,560 --> 02:13:29,060
He interacted with the students, he showed the students some treats about filming and writing and producing.

1545
02:13:30,040 --> 02:13:39,380
So he promised to help visit again and actually our school district with the program with the students was highlighted in

1546
02:13:39,380 --> 02:13:43,340
not just local, but actually national TV.

1547
02:13:43,820 --> 02:13:47,300
So this is one of the programs that the Oxnary School District is offering.

1548
02:13:47,740 --> 02:13:52,280
And that is aiming to that student profile that the board had approved

1549
02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:59,440
and that we keep now making sure that the community and the teachers and the staff are informed about this.

1550
02:14:02,670 --> 02:14:09,910
Last week, we had the pleasure and the honor of welcoming our administrators

1551
02:14:09,910 --> 02:14:18,350
leaders, a site and leaders and our central office leaders and during that those days and even

1552
02:14:18,350 --> 02:14:25,930
these weeks our administrators have been engaged in planning, learning, interacting so

1553
02:14:25,930 --> 02:14:33,670
that next this coming school year students are ready, teachers are ready, will be ready,

1554
02:14:33,990 --> 02:14:38,910
administrators are ready to welcome the students and I want to showcase one example,

1555
02:14:38,910 --> 02:14:46,390
Mr. Uli Prater, presenting about the math pedagogy and the practices that we are hoping

1556
02:14:46,390 --> 02:14:52,210
we will see in our classroom again, all of those aiming towards that student profile.

1557
02:14:55,370 --> 02:14:59,850
I know we have been receiving several phone calls and...

1558
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:06,800
Return to school. And as of today, per the California Department of Public Department of Health,

1559
02:15:07,100 --> 02:15:12,100
then to the county public health department and the California Department of Education, our public

1560
02:15:12,100 --> 02:15:20,820
schools are mandated. As of today, to actually inside the classrooms for students and staff to

1561
02:15:20,820 --> 02:15:28,180
wear masks. And so as public entity, we are mandated to do so. So we are making sure that we

1562
02:15:28,180 --> 02:15:35,420
follow the law and follow the legislation according to the public entities that regulate the

1563
02:15:35,420 --> 02:15:40,120
work of public schools and as the Oxford School District is one of those, we are making

1564
02:15:40,120 --> 02:15:48,420
sure that that is taking place. Of course, exceptions are based on health conditions and those

1565
02:15:48,420 --> 02:15:57,540
will be considered in an individual basis and those will be analyzed as those requests for

1566
02:15:57,540 --> 02:16:04,580
exceptions come to us, but again, it is amundate, a soft right now, and we most comply with those

1567
02:16:04,580 --> 02:16:10,280
mandates, and also for the safety and the health of everyone involved in the process.

1568
02:16:10,980 --> 02:16:16,780
We also want to make sure that, and Dr. Noseiro did the initial presentation today, that

1569
02:16:16,780 --> 02:16:23,480
families will know that there is independent study option, but I want to highlight in the

1570
02:16:23,480 --> 02:16:25,680
independent study option.

1571
02:16:26,340 --> 02:16:28,860
So that will be offered to families as well.

1572
02:16:30,740 --> 02:16:34,700
We are having a return to school webinar on August 12th,

1573
02:16:34,840 --> 02:16:37,780
that means next week and all details,

1574
02:16:38,120 --> 02:16:41,460
so many of the details related to the return to school

1575
02:16:41,460 --> 02:16:45,100
in the new school year will be presented in this class.

1576
02:16:45,400 --> 02:16:48,900
And we have a whole thing ready to share with our families

1577
02:16:48,900 --> 02:16:50,600
what are those details.

1578
02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:56,180
Our teachers, we are eager to welcome them and they are coming back on August 17th

1579
02:16:56,180 --> 02:16:59,240
where they will have few days from August 17th

1580
02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:07,860
and two days more of exchanging, learning, interacting and getting ready for the new school year.

1581
02:17:09,890 --> 02:17:14,790
Lastly, I want to take a minute to honor and to remember

1582
02:17:14,790 --> 02:17:25,390
Jasmine Ramos Lopez. We lost Jasmine, three weeks ago, and to Jasmine family, to

1583
02:17:25,390 --> 02:17:35,270
her mama, to her aunt, to her siblings, from the Oxford School District, we want to give

1584
02:17:35,270 --> 02:17:43,270
her deep condolences. We are with you, we are hugging you from here, the principal of the school,

1585
02:17:43,270 --> 02:17:46,230
And I went to the services.

1586
02:17:46,850 --> 02:17:49,650
But again, I want to make sure that we don't forget

1587
02:17:49,650 --> 02:17:51,810
that this is the reason we do the work.

1588
02:17:52,150 --> 02:17:55,970
This is why we are here to serve these students.

1589
02:17:56,710 --> 02:17:58,570
Jasmine was with the Oxnors School District

1590
02:17:58,570 --> 02:17:59,890
for several years.

1591
02:18:00,450 --> 02:18:02,990
Her brother also went through our schools.

1592
02:18:03,410 --> 02:18:06,190
And I want to make sure that the family knows

1593
02:18:06,950 --> 02:18:09,210
that here in the Oxnors School District,

1594
02:18:09,870 --> 02:18:12,390
we are honoring Jasmine and we are with you

1595
02:18:12,390 --> 02:18:19,890
our deep condolences, so I want to take a few seconds to honor and remember just me.

1596
02:18:25,630 --> 02:18:26,570
Thank you.

1597
02:18:29,020 --> 02:18:29,720
Thank you.

1598
02:18:29,880 --> 02:18:31,000
Back to that effort.

1599
02:18:31,660 --> 02:18:32,700
Trustee Announcements.

1600
02:18:32,900 --> 02:18:35,200
We have anyone who would like to share.

1601
02:18:38,070 --> 02:18:39,190
Thank you.

1602
02:18:39,850 --> 02:18:48,030
I just want to start off by saying that I'm really looking forward to school starting back again and welcoming our students to the new school year.

1603
02:18:48,030 --> 02:18:55,350
Along with our teachers, staff and everyone else are communities those that are returning and those that are enjoying us for the first time

1604
02:18:56,690 --> 02:19:00,910
I know we still have a couple weeks before that happens, but I'm definitely looking forward to that

1605
02:19:01,370 --> 02:19:03,310
I am also looking forward to

1606
02:19:03,850 --> 02:19:07,770
Hopefully in the near future having a conversation with our district

1607
02:19:07,770 --> 02:19:14,670
The city the police support with the police department in regards to the accident that happened outside of Ramona

1608
02:19:14,670 --> 02:19:21,650
I know it's something that the community has been waiting for and now that we are returning

1609
02:19:21,650 --> 02:19:27,230
to school I know it's definitely in everyone's mind so that's definitely something that

1610
02:19:27,230 --> 02:19:34,910
I'm also looking forward that hopefully we get to do soon and then I know that mask are being

1611
02:19:34,910 --> 02:19:41,670
mandated at all school sites so please make sure that we continue to wear our mask at all

1612
02:19:41,670 --> 02:19:46,770
times and we are indoors. I think it's important that we keep each other safe, especially

1613
02:19:46,770 --> 02:19:53,890
with our children. You know, we all have the option to receive the vaccine. Most of our kids

1614
02:19:53,890 --> 02:19:57,430
do not. So please continue to wear your mask and keep others safe.

1615
02:20:03,600 --> 02:20:12,400
I want to thank everyone that presented today and those that helped with getting the speaker situated.

1616
02:20:18,400 --> 02:20:24,400
I don't know if it's possible, but I would like to request a study session on the board policy concerning the promotions.

1617
02:20:24,400 --> 02:20:31,680
I think it's like 51-25, 51-27 but if we can like allocate some time so that we can

1618
02:20:31,680 --> 02:20:37,480
look over it, that'd be great. Yeah and I just want to remind everyone that we're here

1619
02:20:37,480 --> 02:20:42,760
for the students and for the kids and they're best interest and although we may differentiate

1620
02:20:42,760 --> 02:20:54,380
on our opinions on what that is like the students are first. So thank you and enjoy the rest of

1621
02:20:54,380 --> 02:20:59,920
to Dr. Shay and all the teachers and administrators that worked over the summer to provide

1622
02:20:59,920 --> 02:21:03,140
summer school to our students and have that enrichment experience.

1623
02:21:03,320 --> 02:21:08,100
I know summer school was probably the first time they got to have contact with other students.

1624
02:21:08,280 --> 02:21:10,100
So I know it's going to be a huge impact.

1625
02:21:10,300 --> 02:21:15,620
I know my daughter was happy to get back to some activities where she got to hang out with other

1626
02:21:15,620 --> 02:21:18,440
kids and be around in a safe environment.

1627
02:21:18,700 --> 02:21:23,080
So I really appreciate all the work you're doing because I know that this will impact the

1628
02:21:23,080 --> 02:21:35,600
students and their education and the work they will do in the upcoming school year, it's a positive impact on them and they will look forward to coming to school the following year because of all the work that everyone did during the summer.

1629
02:21:35,660 --> 02:21:38,080
So I really appreciate all the work you did. Thank you.

1630
02:21:42,760 --> 02:21:43,720
Thank you.

1631
02:21:51,720 --> 02:21:53,060
Testi. Testi.

1632
02:21:53,060 --> 02:21:56,460
First, she was like, no, I don't want to go to summer school, but then she actually didn't

1633
02:21:56,460 --> 02:22:01,180
enjoy going to summer school and her best friend. She didn't, she was very anxious that

1634
02:22:01,180 --> 02:22:05,340
I didn't want to go back to school when they were allowed to go back to school. And now she's actually

1635
02:22:05,340 --> 02:22:11,000
very excited to start school in a couple of weeks. And then it all had to do with summer school,

1636
02:22:11,140 --> 02:22:19,540
but going just for four weeks, they had a really good time with the film program and not only that,

1637
02:22:19,540 --> 02:22:24,740
But my daughter was telling me that of many students that were in the classroom, some students

1638
02:22:24,740 --> 02:22:32,080
were very shy in what the program they were able to open up, they felt free when it was

1639
02:22:32,080 --> 02:22:35,460
time for writing, when it was time to start learning about how to use the cameras.

1640
02:22:36,340 --> 02:22:41,560
So I'm really thankful that we were able to get that program back, especially now during summer,

1641
02:22:41,860 --> 02:22:46,720
of many of our students why to do something fun, get out of the house, and actually do

1642
02:22:46,720 --> 02:22:51,720
in Iraq with other students, so I'm just looking forward to our new school year.

1643
02:22:53,120 --> 02:22:57,760
Thank you. Yes, I also am looking forward to the start of the new school year. It truly

1644
02:22:57,760 --> 02:23:04,740
has been some time for us to be sheltered. I find myself asking friends, oh, what have you been doing?

1645
02:23:04,860 --> 02:23:11,080
And then I remember. We've been locked up for the last year and I have. So they probably haven't been doing too much.

1646
02:23:11,080 --> 02:23:14,640
So I'm looking forward to having a more liberty

1647
02:23:14,640 --> 02:23:17,300
to be able to go out and make friends.

1648
02:23:18,040 --> 02:23:19,480
And the same are kids, you know,

1649
02:23:19,560 --> 02:23:20,960
that our kids are back in school.

1650
02:23:21,900 --> 02:23:24,080
I'm really, I just want to remind everyone,

1651
02:23:24,260 --> 02:23:26,660
remind the public that, you know,

1652
02:23:26,740 --> 02:23:28,720
on the comments by the public, again,

1653
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:31,780
it was in my fault, you know, that we're taking comments.

1654
02:23:32,980 --> 02:23:35,840
There's co-station, and then there's the open meeting, okay.

1655
02:23:36,100 --> 02:23:40,980
And so the first comments should be related to,

1656
02:23:40,980 --> 02:23:48,640
items that are in closed session, and then the seven o'clock comments should be related to the general agenda items.

1657
02:23:49,260 --> 02:23:58,960
So we'll try to do that because as then it cuts down our time that we have in closed session, like tonight, we're going to have to go back into closed session right now.

1658
02:23:59,460 --> 02:24:03,020
So anyway, so we'll do that for sure at our next meeting.

1659
02:24:03,260 --> 02:24:06,840
But again, I'm also excited, you know, with our whole student profile.

1660
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:19,060
You know, I've been in this business a long time and everyone knows, you know, I mean, our kids do not necessarily perform at the level that we would like them to be at.

1661
02:24:19,340 --> 02:24:26,820
But at the same time, we haven't had the exact, you know, what is it, the criteria that we want.

1662
02:24:26,820 --> 02:24:29,300
And I think with Dr. Aguilera Sports Leadership,

1663
02:24:30,220 --> 02:24:34,320
we have a student profile that I'm really looking forward

1664
02:24:34,320 --> 02:24:39,260
to getting that implementing that so that we can see our results,

1665
02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:42,360
you know, the accountability and results for our kids.

1666
02:24:42,420 --> 02:24:43,380
And that's why we're here.

1667
02:24:44,560 --> 02:24:46,680
So I'm really looking forward to this school year,

1668
02:24:46,700 --> 02:24:48,380
so we can start that momentum.

1669
02:24:49,200 --> 02:24:51,240
So thank you and congratulations to the schools

1670
02:24:51,240 --> 02:24:56,460
that with PBRS, I look forward to other schools continuing

1671
02:24:56,460 --> 02:24:59,160
I mean, excelling and receiving another walk.

1672
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:10,140
So I look forward to actually being in live and so that we can continue with that moment and once again.

1673
02:25:10,540 --> 02:25:16,140
Okay, so thank you and thanks to everyone who presented tonight and we are going back into the procession.

1674
02:25:16,140 --> 02:25:17,280
So thank you.

1675
02:25:30,960 --> 02:25:36,580

02:26:44,260 --> 02:26:46,420
So if I could have a motion for adjournment, please?
