1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,940
Imperial gathering.

2
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:09,650
President of Labor Board NEAR News International engagement.

3
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:17,550
Undercut particular station under God.

4
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:18,930
Divens, it will best?

5
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:26,840
To contemplate schools and acknowledges that we are on the tradition, and

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,040
ancestral and historical lands of the Puallot Childnew Indians, we honor with gratitude.

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,200
They have yapt and pushed to practice for centuries and faculty.

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:43,360
This acknowledgment serves as a first step in honoring our nearest tribal neighbors and partners who have inhabited this region since time and memorial, and to whom we give thanks for allowing us past to their land.

9
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:51,860
We shall intentionally create inclusive and respectful partnerships that honoring indigenous cultures, histories, identities and sociopolitical realities.

10
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:54,480
You know the council member, would you please call the road?

11
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,820
President Schroeder, here.

12
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:56,620
Do you have any camera?

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,100
Here.

14
00:00:57,460 --> 00:00:57,940
Dr. Keating?

15
00:00:58,220 --> 00:00:58,440
Yeah.

16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:59,180
Dr. Bombard?

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Here.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,900
Director Freeman Lane?

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,200
Yeah.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:01,920
We have.

21
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:12,360
We have a student who, I understand, will have a presentation of all that, so that might be the time to introduce our student program.

22
00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:14,660
It's back then.

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,020
All right.

24
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:16,920
We got a motion.

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,780
It's on the second.

26
00:01:18,380 --> 00:01:18,760
Second.

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Are you interested in the second, all those in favor, or any questions come as concerns

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,940
if you didn't?

29
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:26,580
On those in favor?

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:26,980
So that?

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Hi.

32
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Can you oppose?

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,960
All right, we have a agenda.

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,220
Here we are.

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,260
A agenda item number two, notice of public hearing, 2.1, public hearing to declare SR plus and

36
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:43,820
authorized the sale or lease of school district property known as 3223 and 3221,

37
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:45,560
South Indian Avenue.

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,720
To calm school districts.

39
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:49,920
I'm going to go ahead.

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,680
Okay, cool.

41
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,940
To calm the school district is the owner of the real property.

42
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920
Commonly known as the maintenance purchasing warehouses located in Pierce County, Washington.

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,040
The property addresses are three two two one and three two two three South Indian Avenue into Koma.

44
00:02:05,540 --> 00:02:08,860
The property consists of six point five total acres on parcels.

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,660
On two different parcels, a South OI five into Koma.

46
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:23,660
and includes two partial, two-story buildings of approximately 100,000 total square feet with the surface level paid part of the district and teams to market these properties for sale.

47
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:33,420
All right. Before we get going, Mr. President, just want to give you the folks in home that just abroad at the sweep of the process, right?

48
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:45,080
So, when we surplus a property in essence, we have determined that it is not needed for our current and not any predictable long term.

49
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:50,100
We don't have enough, they're like, oh, I have the expert here, I like to turn it over and Mr. Williams.

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,300
You're a little lump, we can get into the bottom.

51
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,880
That's true right now, that'd be great, I think.

52
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:11,010
This is Mr. Chris Williams, it's a brand new school year, so sometimes I like to introduce folks again in that space and Chris is our chief operating officer.

53
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:13,230
Mr. Williams, can you explain our process?

54
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:19,130
Yes, just wanted to give the board and public a reminder of our process when we start plus properties.

55
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:24,430
One of the most important things is the why do we start plus properties.

56
00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:31,250
We're constantly evaluating our facilities to see if it serves a useful purpose within the district.

57
00:03:31,470 --> 00:03:35,670
As you can imagine, it takes an African amount of dollars to maintain our portfolio.

58
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:43,330
And you align that with a particular facility being severely underutilized.

59
00:03:43,510 --> 00:03:47,130
In addition, it provides additional dollars for the district.

60
00:03:47,290 --> 00:03:50,950
When I say additional dollars on be very clear because I know we have our CFO,

61
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:56,250
those phones from the cell of a property go back to capital funds.

62
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:59,070
They cannot be utilizing general funds.

63
00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:03,810
What that means is supports our construction projects and construction expenses.

64
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:06,050
So just want to be clear with that.

65
00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:11,210
And there are six kind of clear steps.

66
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:16,330
One being agency notification which we've done already for this particular property

67
00:04:16,330 --> 00:04:18,190
where we notify our stakeholders.

68
00:04:18,810 --> 00:04:25,610
2 is where we at right now is the board here and it's the two fates you're going to hear from some public comment and

69
00:04:25,610 --> 00:04:31,010
later one in the agenda the board gets to have the consideration to the surplus of property.

70
00:04:31,190 --> 00:04:35,810
The first step is the actual advertising of the property and

71
00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:38,510
our real estate department receiving

72
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:40,590
offers.

73
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:47,410
From then, as our first step is where we take those offers and we present them to the board that's usually done or 100%

74
00:04:47,410 --> 00:04:57,330
done in executive section. Our fifth step is we go to a public hearing based on the recommendation

75
00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:03,930
that the board has for that offer and later on in that agenda the board will make a vote

76
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:09,690
on that particular offer. Based on that vote in the board says yes and agrees on that, that's

77
00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:15,850
when we negotiate with the particular buyer. It's usually a six-month to 12-month process.

78
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,580
any questions, if anything, Dr. Garcia?

79
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:23,940
I just wanted to thank you, Chris.

80
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,060
And I think it's just important pieces,

81
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:29,440
that this process allows for a level of public transparency.

82
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:34,560
We've done several times in recent years,

83
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:37,300
where we have identified that there is not necessarily

84
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,940
space. As Chris mentions what we can and can't do

85
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:46,040
with the funds are there are legislative and legal requirements

86
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,800
that guide us in what those steps are.

87
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:52,180
It's not just we, it's not going to come up with public schools.

88
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,680
We, as in public institutions and public schools in the state of Washington.

89
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:02,480
So we just thought it was important, as you have said earlier, it's a new school year.

90
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,540
So, you know, a new audience sometimes, in that space, there have not been a predetermined

91
00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:14,900
by staff, you know, a use for that future property that is not up for us to necessarily

92
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:19,640
decide that the board can consider things in the proposals about what are the potential uses

93
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:27,920
and not uses, but in this phase we don't make predetermined steps to say we don't

94
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,720
want it to be this or we do want it to be this.

95
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:30,900
Yeah.

96
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:35,640
So with that, I think we are ready for public comment.

97
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,500
You are ready.

98
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:36,800
Great.

99
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:38,580
It's open.

100
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,840
We're open for public commentary.

101
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Two different ways to give public comment related to this surplus conversation.

102
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,880
One, he is written comment, which we do have a written letter of interest from parts to

103
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,180
comment.

104
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:55,740
And two point two is verbal.

105
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Do we have anyone who wants to give verbal comment?

106
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,920
Yes, President Schercher.

107
00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:01,560
We have one verbal comment for public hearing.

108
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:04,220
And that is by Terry Jonesman.

109
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:05,160
I've been

110
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:15,870
eating board, my name is Terry Youngman, and I am the District Guard Capital Program Manager for Parks Tacoma,

111
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:18,910
and I am here representing Parks Tacoma in my official capacity.

112
00:07:21,070 --> 00:07:27,090
I'd like to express our formal interest in the Uninabiting Properties at 3-2-1 and 3-2-3, South and Naviting.

113
00:07:27,590 --> 00:07:29,370
Parks Tacoma and Tacoma Public Schools.

114
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,400
Have a long history of partnership and joint development, as is laid out in our interlocal agreement.

115
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:47,160
For students who that, parts to comment would like to further engage with the top of the public schools to explore the feasibility of ownership transfer of the union avenue properties as a future home to our consolidated operation and maintenance facility.

116
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:57,780
If it is determined to be a mutually beneficial arrangement through a feasibility analysis, parts to comment would further work with, to comment public schools on acquisition and future redevelopment of that property.

117
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:04,320
So just here to express that verbally to you tonight, we did the issue a letter to the school district

118
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,440
or it was signed by our executive director back on August 13th and we just wanted to follow up.

119
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,740
Happy to answer any questions, yeah.

120
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:15,130
Thank you.

121
00:08:17,170 --> 00:08:19,850
I was the one and only. That's the only one we have for

122
00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:25,190
public hearing. Okay, well before we go ahead and close the public hearing that I didn't really open up.

123
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:29,590
and we forward to agenda item number three.

124
00:08:31,310 --> 00:08:33,570
Recognition of staff, students, and community.

125
00:08:34,410 --> 00:08:36,310
3.1 state holidays in civic reserve.

126
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:40,130
Yes, President Schurser, so we have three civic observances

127
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:43,150
for our state holidays that are recognized in the month of September.

128
00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:46,270
The first is National Hispanic Heritage Month.

129
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:50,850
This honors the history culture and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

130
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:55,350
The observance begins on September 15th and goes through October 15th.

131
00:08:55,350 --> 00:09:00,130
to coincide with the independence and adversaries of several Latin American countries that fall

132
00:09:00,130 --> 00:09:04,510
in or within or near that time window. Our second observance is Labor Day.

133
00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:06,330
Labor Day is a state holiday in Washington,

134
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:11,010
observed the first Monday and September, which was September 7th on Monday of this year.

135
00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:15,310
Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers.

136
00:09:15,890 --> 00:09:20,230
We celebrate Labor Day to honor those who recognize,

137
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:26,110
to recognize the contributions of workers that workers have made to America's strength, prosperity, and well-being.

138
00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:36,730
Our third observance is Constitution and Citizenship Day. This is September 17. Constitution and Citizenship Day marks the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.

139
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:42,230
During this time, the legislature encourages schools to provide instruction about the state or federal constitution

140
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:46,710
and to take up issues of rights, representation and civic responsibility.

141
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:49,790
And those are three observances, for example, for September.

142
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:54,250
Thank you.

143
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:56,310
We'll move on to agenda number four.

144
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:57,530
We're super-entendiful.

145
00:09:58,010 --> 00:09:58,930
We'll point them up.

146
00:09:59,390 --> 00:09:59,850
Yes.

147
00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:02,950
Welcome back to the 2627 school year.

148
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:09,830
It is my pleasure to introduce our 2627 student representatives to the school board.

149
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,760
And then I'm going to turn over the mic to them and allow them to speak after a

150
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,560
of introduced everyone.

151
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:28,740
So, first I'd like to start off with the next slide from your face, we'd like to

152
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:36,680
describe it as Josh No. 1. Joshua Barber is a senior at IDI school and is joining us back.

153
00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:44,560
I'd like to introduce Miss Whitney Beck, also a senior at Stadium High School that will be joining us this year.

154
00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:55,320
I'd like to introduce you to, and some of you have seen Rihanna Mite, and that's not how I pronounce it, so at one more time for me,

155
00:10:55,780 --> 00:11:03,880
Rihanna Mite from Foss High School of Junior, and you have seen Rihanna numerous times in the community hosting forums and participating.

156
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,560
And then I'd like to introduce Miriam Selkin from Sammy, also a junior at Sammy, that will be joining us.

157
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:19,300
So I invite them to do any reports they have if they have one tonight and if not, they are welcome to pass.

158
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:21,640
Can you get on?

159
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:22,740
Okay.

160
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:24,320
I'll take a look right.

161
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,520
I don't have a lot to report, but I think there's a thing in September that I would like to talk about.

162
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,140
We all know September, I don't know if we all know.

163
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:38,920
But September is nationally recognized as suicide prevention month, and I want everyone to know out there that you have helped.

164
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,500
You can call 98.

165
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:42,860
It is a national suicide prevention hotline.

166
00:11:42,860 --> 00:11:52,240
And then I also want to talk about very important day that tomorrow is 25 years ago, right?

167
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,940
September 11, 2001, there was the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

168
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:08,680
And you know, there's really rough day for many people, not even in the US, all over the world.

169
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:16,180
And I think that I think it's better to talk about it the day before than it is to talk about it 13 days later.

170
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:25,020
And I think we should always remember what happened that day and have, you know, we should hold deeper guards for these people who are affected by this.

171
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:39,080
We report from the other side. You're welcome to, I know as your first meeting to, or say any other comments.

172
00:12:41,810 --> 00:12:44,070
The report for a stadium. Thank you.

173
00:12:44,110 --> 00:12:44,950
Thank you.

174
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:51,960
And that spirit, I'd like to give it to the community.

175
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,020
I'd like to echo Josh's comments,

176
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,400
you know, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon,

177
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,600
the community in Pennsylvania that we're all impacted.

178
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,300
I want to thank our first responders.

179
00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:06,260
Our goes out to all those that were impacted by September 11th.

180
00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:09,600
I appreciate Josh's reminder for all of us to remember.

181
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:12,880
what had happened, learned from the history.

182
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,320
And then I think there's also a lot of lessons

183
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,100
around who we are as a country.

184
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:21,600
Okay, first we are.

185
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:23,540
How do we move forward together?

186
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,660
I want to welcome back our students.

187
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,680
You were out in the community,

188
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,800
meaning some of you are in classes.

189
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:34,620
grades 1 through 12 starting yesterday.

190
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:39,260
So we are now two days into the school year going into that.

191
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,440
In my experience, the first day was pretty joyous.

192
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,180
There was a lot of excitement and kids, a lot of excitement and staff.

193
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,080
Some nervous grandparents, some nervous parents, and I get that.

194
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120
So please be patient with us.

195
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:56,860
At law students returned to a brand new building.

196
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:58,680
It was pretty exciting.

197
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:02,060
Students were greeted by TBS staff or construction team contractors.

198
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:09,160
I want to just let everyone know that we will be hosting a community open house on October 13th,

199
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:16,540
for law. Thank you to our team for sponsoring that. Students all big updates at Foss High School.

200
00:14:16,780 --> 00:14:22,760
So if you have an head of chance to see, I guess I would ask our student rep to do like some

201
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,580
of the upgrades at Foss. It's kind of a loaded question. You can also say no, I don't like that.

202
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,180
Well, I like it a lot. Looks like cleaner. We have a new hallway, which is very cool. We have very

203
00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:43,820
new bathrooms. I don't like the paint, it's very dark and sad now. There's also not a lot of green

204
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:50,280
and gold which is disappointing because those are our school colors. I heard from my ASB advisor,

205
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:57,820
they were going for a more college look which is weird because we're a high school campus. So I don't

206
00:14:57,820 --> 00:14:59,960
All of that, I do miss the very...

207
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,520
Very bright, green, gold colors on our world, but other than that, I think students are really happy to have a more modern

208
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,400
refresh to our school. It's great. Great feedback, and I just encourage our students in that space, is that, you know,

209
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:24,840
halls, all is convenient. Hang up pictures and decorate in that space. These buildings are designed to help you feel in a space, in a space of

210
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:32,420
of welcomeness and the phospholicans are a proud, a alumni group, a proud group of students,

211
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:41,160
and we are here to say that Foss is going to continue to soar. So, add your decorations, read

212
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,160
elementary, salsa major upgrades, and I want to thank the staff that read, especially in the

213
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:54,000
parents, and our students for being patient. It's been a process when you're renovating a building

214
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,620
while you're at the building, it's a lot of work.

215
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,380
So I think that a construction team,

216
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,740
some Washington Patriot,

217
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:01,480
Friday of others did an amazing job,

218
00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:03,600
and I really, really shout out to the staff

219
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,500
for their patients through the process,

220
00:16:05,940 --> 00:16:07,000
and welcoming that.

221
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:10,360
We saw some field upgrades, updates,

222
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,120
it's Silas Gray, Bernie Truman,

223
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:12,860
and Mount Talma.

224
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Silas has new baseball and softball fields,

225
00:16:15,180 --> 00:16:17,760
and he tends to score Gray, Bernie, and Truman,

226
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,760
and I'll have a new turf.

227
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,900
Mount Talma has a new jumbo tron.

228
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:30,360
I got the chance to go out to the new RAV pitch at Furn Hell, which is the first of many upgrades

229
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,840
that Furn Hell is going to get in their fields, so that was exciting.

230
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,800
And then some of us, I had to enjoy attending with President Showsher, the first class in

231
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,960
First-Dude's Walking On to Maritime 253, which has been a great process.

232
00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:49,500
I want to thank our staff, partnership with the port, your leadership, the port commissioners,

233
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:54,600
your ship to help that project get up and running and it's up and alive and so it's came from

234
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,400
all over the South Sound to attend and that was really exciting. Next week we have the joy

235
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:07,140
of welcoming our kindergartners and our preschoolers. I had heard we have approximately 1,800

236
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:14,460
kindergartners joining us this year. That's really exciting. So September 14th kindergarten TTK

237
00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:20,840
classes start, September 16th, Head Start, and E-Cat Pre-School Class of Start, we are still

238
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,340
enrolling.

239
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:27,520
So I'll just show you on a personal level, I had three kids, and I had to be reminded with

240
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,060
my third child by the office secretary, you still have to enroll your child, Josh, just

241
00:17:32,060 --> 00:17:33,700
because you have siblings.

242
00:17:35,060 --> 00:17:36,660
So that was an exciting opportunity.

243
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:41,660
So if you know a little one that should be in school or maybe you are deciding at the last

244
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:46,920
minute, maybe I do want to get my student in school. This is my cue to make this fast.

245
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,640
I would just encourage folks to go ahead and get on that line. This is the time that

246
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:58,960
I also want to remind folks that we do have to move staff sometimes. You'll get some information

247
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,940
and you're welcome back communications about why we have to do that. Please be patient with us.

248
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,680
I know it's ads-enct. It's not lost on us. We have to balance, class size, all our agreements,

249
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,780
sometimes lost, and that space in there is a process.

250
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:19,400
That doesn't mean that all those make it easier on an individual child or family.

251
00:18:20,020 --> 00:18:21,180
So you will see some movement.

252
00:18:21,580 --> 00:18:23,160
We try to communicate wise.

253
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,600
We try to communicate in advance with your schools,

254
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,200
and we try to minimize that as much as possible.

255
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,280
We've seen increases in spikes in enrollment in some schools

256
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,760
and drops in others.

257
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:37,260
That has an impact.

258
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,720
So we will continue to communicate.

259
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,200
We have a few schools that are close to enrollment.

260
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:43,520
We know that is difficult.

261
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:44,600
We go through a process.

262
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,240
We will have wait lists.

263
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,540
We will consider students after the fifth day of school.

264
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,080
We have to get through that first five days to see which students haven't shown up,

265
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:54,380
but we're able to drop those.

266
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:55,560
And then add students.

267
00:18:56,380 --> 00:18:58,600
So that doesn't mean that all of our students are on the wait list.

268
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,280
We'll get in.

269
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,280
But we will continue to support that.

270
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,580
A lot of families to be in the best place that they can.

271
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,980
We hope to make those adjustments in the weeks of September 18th through the 20th.

272
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,340
We try not to move instantaneously as we know it's really clear, but sometimes we know

273
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:23,220
that some schools may be so close to keeping a teacher that we want to try to keep that.

274
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,000
And we look at our overall enrollment as well to see if we can balance that out.

275
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:33,120
I want to remind folks that summer late nights give you kind of an update about that

276
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:42,060
in the club beyond the Bell and Club B registration is now open between, I think, the last

277
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:46,620
of the first association is the 13th. That's when programs will start on the 21st. I want

278
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:52,620
to think our community partners, Club B and beyond the Bell is not to come up public schools,

279
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,560
program, and as a community program is hosted as to come up schools. The programs are offered

280
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,320
by community partners over 39.

281
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,140
We have over 2,200 students already registered for the session

282
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:08,960
model, which is pretty darn exciting.

283
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:10,540
Some of our student reps participate

284
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:14,080
as coaches and advisers, and you'll see that.

285
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,440
And so it's pretty amazing.

286
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:19,200
As far as summer, late nights go, we ran our fourth year,

287
00:20:19,220 --> 00:20:23,100
the program, best numbers we've ever seen.

288
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:25,460
Best numbers we've seen.

289
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,400
So what does that mean?

290
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,360
We had 12,000 total visits, almost double the last year

291
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:36,020
by students, 20,000 meals serve, almost double from last year. Registration, I mentioned registration

292
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:39,780
that's happening. It's a six year of club B and B on the Bell.

293
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:43,360
Please, if you know

294
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:47,420
of somebody that's going to be in the after school space, go ahead and just turn them.

295
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:52,200
One important, I know I'm a long-winded in that video, it's delayed and you'll see those

296
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,530
smiles. But an important reminder, there is an acronym, you know, that we love acronyms and

297
00:20:56,530 --> 00:21:00,430
It's called Sneam, C-N-E-E-B.

298
00:21:00,930 --> 00:21:02,950
Families have seen communications about this.

299
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:04,290
It's a nutrition eligibility.

300
00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:09,570
And a lot of other folks say they don't fill out that form

301
00:21:09,570 --> 00:21:11,510
because they don't think they qualify for free

302
00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:12,550
and reduce lunch meals.

303
00:21:13,250 --> 00:21:13,590
That's based.

304
00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:15,490
But it has so many other benefits.

305
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:21,150
It is very important for us when we look at our total

306
00:21:21,150 --> 00:21:23,510
enrollment eligibility for better grants.

307
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:28,950
But it locks benefits like reducing fees or eliminating fees for athletics,

308
00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:35,810
participation, reduces fees, or eliminates fees for beyond the balance club, be activities.

309
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:39,430
It opens up scholarship opportunities through the state.

310
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:45,190
It is an annual form, so we ask families to go ahead and click into that parent view.

311
00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:48,550
I know there's a lot of information right off the bat.

312
00:21:48,550 --> 00:21:52,250
This one won't be one of those priority ones, but I'm going to make sure your students have a

313
00:21:52,250 --> 00:21:54,130
taxes to the additional benefits.

314
00:21:55,310 --> 00:22:00,650
And if you are not receiving district communications, such as our E-newsletter or Automatic

315
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:03,210
Messages, please contact your school directly.

316
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:06,130
They can get you signed up for those pieces.

317
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:12,370
I'm excited for our kids, I'm excited for our staff, we have an amazing staff at all different

318
00:22:12,370 --> 00:22:16,950
levels and all different programs and when I see that in all different roles,

319
00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:20,610
I wish

320
00:22:20,610 --> 00:22:26,770
everybody. I'll be healthy 2027 and in the spirit of that I'm going to turn it over to the video.

321
00:22:27,790 --> 00:22:29,970
Real quick, we see you can see some of the smiles for the first time.

322
00:23:34,850 --> 00:23:42,790
We're good for agenda item number five. Staff report to the Board. We've got light speed classroom management system.

323
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:46,010
The big thing that updates brought to you by. Thank you.

324
00:23:52,420 --> 00:23:55,780
Good evening. Let's jump right into it.

325
00:23:56,620 --> 00:24:04,300
We had some conversations last spring about bringing in a classroom management software option.

326
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:10,100
We had a committee that started in the winter, we vetted several de demos, did some piloting,

327
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,400
and landed on light speed as our contract implementation took place over the summer,

328
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,960
and we went live for teachers on our first 2P days last week.

329
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,340
And so I just want to give you kind of a bigger picture now of what is this thing,

330
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:29,500
what does it look like, how does it operate. And light speed, it's a district-funded product.

331
00:24:29,780 --> 00:24:33,240
It's in all of our classrooms, for all of our students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

332
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:39,640
As the kid moves around the school, it's saying secondary, first, the second, their schedule sinks with light speeds,

333
00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:48,800
so it knows it's in, first period with me, and in second period with Mrs. Jones, and so if I have different rules or expectations for the class versus hers,

334
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,840
the kid's computer would automatically switch to those options.

335
00:24:53,220 --> 00:25:01,300
The goal is to kind of increase that learning time and focus, decrease the distractions, and it's done by loading up lists.

336
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:06,740
So if I'm a social studies teacher and these are the research sites that I'd like my kids to use this week,

337
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,660
I would load up those sites and then everything else would be closed.

338
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,760
I could even limit the number of tabs that are open in their browser.

339
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:17,780
I think many of us have had a browser open where we can't even see what's on the tab,

340
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:18,920
because there's 80 of them open.

341
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,680
In this case, I narrow it down for allow the kids to stay focused on what they're working on.

342
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,300
The ability to do focus mode, so today we're just using those research sites,

343
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:35,580
and we're using our PowerPoint because we're building our presentation and all their applications are closed.

344
00:25:36,780 --> 00:25:43,000
This focused mode allows kids into work in class for that block period, just in that space.

345
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,240
They share across, so teachers can share across with teachers or teaching learning

346
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,400
department who push this out to teams as well, but the goal is that all these folks have the resources

347
00:25:53,400 --> 00:26:00,280
they need for kids to use their devices in a safe way. It's a responsible investment part of our

348
00:26:00,740 --> 00:26:07,140
It was also to look at how are we using our devices, what are kids accessing.

349
00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:11,940
We know that at some very younger students will be in Minecraft and totally off tasks,

350
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:16,160
so this is the way to kind of block some of that, but at the same time teachers do get

351
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,700
a report again in the class of where kids went, right, and what sites were being used.

352
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:24,320
Weekend then also track is near pod or product that we're using a lot, and it's worth the

353
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,860
investment as we continue to go forward, or is it something we should pull back and look

354
00:26:27,860 --> 00:26:33,460
something else. In that same space as we kind of get into the weeds for teachers and staff,

355
00:26:33,780 --> 00:26:37,420
one of the things would be, if I was actually teaching right now, all the kids computers

356
00:26:37,420 --> 00:26:42,220
would show this slide. So as much as I would love for them to be off task and doing whatever,

357
00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:49,200
today we're just watching my slide. If I first, I could present that slide back. So for example,

358
00:26:49,660 --> 00:26:54,400
Josh had great student work and I wanted to show the class, I could then project that project up

359
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,520
for the whole class to see.

360
00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,740
We could walk through that example, make sense,

361
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,180
and move on to the next task.

362
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:03,400
And that same space for students, right?

363
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:06,440
Again, fewer distractions, ease of use,

364
00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:08,780
consistent expectations, classroom, and classroom,

365
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,740
school to school.

366
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,140
So it doesn't look different at a Sammy versus a first

367
00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:14,020
creek, right?

368
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,800
And then last, this is a school day product.

369
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:19,180
So we do it during school hours, right?

370
00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:20,880
And the kid goes home after school hours,

371
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,240
then they have full access to all the applications they would

372
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,780
normally based on the district firewalls that we typically use.

373
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,480
So we're not tracking any personal data if some kid wants to dig up some old AOL account

374
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,440
and log in, we wouldn't see their passwords or any of that access or information.

375
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:41,980
So it's compliant with our ADA requirements that we put in the place last spring across the district

376
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:43,040
as well.

377
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,160
Any questions on life?

378
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,180
How is this any different from Go Guardian?

379
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:59,380
It's the same kind of ideas Go Guardian.

380
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,160
Go Guardian is one of the companies we had talked with and spring as well.

381
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,240
I have a question as well.

382
00:28:07,580 --> 00:28:15,260
Would this be, it's not replacing the current firewalls that we have, but would it be using every classroom

383
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:17,240
And then would it be required to do this?

384
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,460
And how does that change from grade grade,

385
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,580
like high school's right, different from the computer at the class?

386
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,100
Correct.

387
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:27,300
So the beauty here is the teacher drives those modes.

388
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,820
So again, in focus mode, your high school teacher

389
00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:31,980
could drive something different than, say, a sixth grade

390
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:33,180
or a third grade teacher.

391
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:37,300
Right, if you're in a space where we're using copilot or an AI

392
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,620
product and the teacher wants you to use that,

393
00:28:39,740 --> 00:28:40,940
then the teacher opens that up.

394
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:43,060
For today, we're doing an exam or something different.

395
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:44,480
The teacher will close that down.

396
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,880
So they have a lot of flexibly or drive, what is or is an open in that space.

397
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:54,380
So again, first grade, well, you know, can I grab this time of year, we're just learning how to log in and do some of those things.

398
00:28:54,540 --> 00:28:59,640
But again, they could customize math game sites or something like that if it's free time.

399
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,980
And I'm going to use this as an opportunity to explain my firewalls a little bit.

400
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:12,560
So firewalls are there, to come to public schools like a lot of organizations are constantly attacking cyber attacks.

401
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:20,080
firewalls help with cyber attacks, as well as they say, this is the content of the approved.

402
00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:24,820
We work with a company that helps apply filters for them.

403
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,900
Teachers have the ability to request, make a request, real process, to say, hey, this website

404
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:33,460
is getting blocked, but it's very important to contact.

405
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:40,520
And so, you know, as it being a new school year, there is that opportunity, is it a different

406
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,880
year, or you could say, hey, this is being blocked.

407
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,240
But we need it for this lesson, try it.

408
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,100
The challenging pieces is that with every software upgrade,

409
00:29:52,260 --> 00:29:53,960
sometimes we have to redo that.

410
00:29:54,420 --> 00:29:57,580
Because the firewall is then blocking it again based off of some code.

411
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,620
It's sophisticated of big stuff.

412
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,580
But that's the essence of it. So once again, this is how the teacher would say, hey, with even within the viral, I want us to do an on-demand assessment, for example, on this.

413
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:18,700
I'm sure that you can turn it on, but that is not a district decision to say, individual, teachers.

414
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:41,380
About the firewalls, I know this isn't everyone I've talked to, I haven't talked to everyone at my school, but I've heard a lot of dissent about the blocking on school Wi-Fi and school computers,

415
00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:49,440
just because not a question, but a comment, um, it often distracts from whatever trying

416
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,060
to learn in class, like there are many times when we won't be able to access information

417
00:30:54,060 --> 00:31:00,720
that we're trying to for a unit and history class or something like that, and I think

418
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:11,160
that students feel like their voices aren't really being heard in the sense of that they

419
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,800
don't feel like the blocking is really fair because we've also seen many things that shouldn't

420
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,580
be happening on school computers that are still able to be access.

421
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,320
You bet.

422
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,320
I think it's an important point that it's a very dynamic process and then I appreciate your

423
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,160
recognition that there are multiple opinions at space and so school computers are designed

424
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,940
to be used for school purposes and then there's the complexity of the information that is

425
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:38,080
not gone through that process yet.

426
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:43,900
And so the first step for you as a student and your colleagues is to ask your teacher to request

427
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,800
that site and be opened up.

428
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:51,360
And then I'll just say this again, the challenging piece sometimes is when you get a soft grade

429
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,820
grade upgrade, it blocks it again, and we have to go through that process again.

430
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:57,880
That's not lost.

431
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,740
I mean, you know, you're really frustrated, it's an individual, we've all experienced that

432
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:05,880
where we just said, and I just solved it in 24 hours later, I have to solve it.

433
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:14,900
So we're going to keep on trying to work on improving that process in that space and then also recognizing that sometimes that content has buried interpretations.

434
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,380
And then you are spot on some of your peer colleagues have found marvelous ways to get around this far.

435
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:25,880
We appreciate that entrepreneurship and so we're constantly trying to work that.

436
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:37,320
But their design in their intent is to keep us safe from that cyber attacks, from exposing what we have determined is inappropriate, but that is not a whole proof system.

437
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,180
Bill, keep on.

438
00:32:41,850 --> 00:32:43,150
The other questions from it.

439
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,040
Here you know, I think we're good.

440
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,000
You guys see.

441
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:50,140
Rule of four, we're two agenda out of number six.

442
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:50,920
This is public comment.

443
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:52,960
Regular public comment.

444
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,360
Yes, we have one to see.

445
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,260
Okay.

446
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,020
School board members encourage public participation.

447
00:32:58,020 --> 00:33:03,920
your civil input is appreciated. Or members will not respond to your comments during the meeting.

448
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:08,020
The superintendent or a designated need will follow up with you after the meeting. Get action is needed.

449
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Instead of speaking at a school board meeting, you may also send an email to the board at the board at K1-2,

450
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:20,200
at W-8, at U-S. Please contact the board office in advance of the meeting for disability accommodation.

451
00:33:21,220 --> 00:33:26,780
Under board policy approaching 30, the board president may terminate an individual's comments when the allotted time is passed.

452
00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:30,320
They may interrupt the speaker to require the same standard of stability that the board

453
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,880
imposes upon itself.

454
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,280
Examples of uncivil comments include comments that are live or slanders, under legal

455
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,440
standard, are an unwanted invasion of privacy, of seeing our decent, pursuant to the federal

456
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,960
communications kept act or any ruler regulation of the federal communications commission.

457
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,860
Violet school district policy or procedure related to harassment, intimidation, bullying

458
00:33:51,860 --> 00:33:52,820
or discrimination.

459
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,920
Inside an unlawful act on school premises or violate a lawful school regulation or create a

460
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,100
material in substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the board.

461
00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:07,080
The board has a whole has the bottom of the decision in determining the appropriateness of all such

462
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,660
rulings and can maintain order by removing those who are disruptive.

463
00:34:11,380 --> 00:34:15,860
However, the board recognises the distinction between uncivil discourse, which we will not tolerate,

464
00:34:16,420 --> 00:34:19,720
and comments about the board, the district, and or staff that are negative,

465
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:24,560
yes, still civil and nature. The board will exercise the authority to maintain order in a content

466
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,420
neutral manner. The two ways to get public comment, option one to verbal. The general council

467
00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:33,080
will call your name when it's your turn to address the school board. Please speak into the

468
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,860
microphone. You'll have up to three minutes to share your comments. Or if there are a large number

469
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:41,300
of speakers, time may be limited at the President's discretion. Option number two is written

470
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:43,700
comment and we don't have any submitted to the agenda today.

471
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,440
Our verbal context because this evening is Gary Colano.

472
00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:59,210
Good evening.

473
00:35:00,410 --> 00:35:04,770
I'm Gary Colano. I'm President of the Lincoln High School Alumni Association.

474
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:10,010
My voice tonight is just not for the Lincoln Alumni,

475
00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:14,770
but for all the alumni of the Tacoma School District.

476
00:35:15,910 --> 00:35:21,970
I'm here to speak about the Tacoma School District's athletics and activities

477
00:35:21,970 --> 00:35:23,490
gold card.

478
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:32,360
Do you all know what the gold card is? It's a card that is available to

479
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:39,880
all seniors 65 and older so they can get into sporting activities or any

480
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,500
school activity for free.

481
00:35:46,810 --> 00:35:51,390
I was just informed of this card a few years ago so

482
00:35:51,390 --> 00:35:59,390
it's not publicly out there. You have to know somebody who has one and then you go and get

483
00:35:59,390 --> 00:36:08,070
your one yourself. It's a great card for 65 years and older to be able to get into the Tacoma

484
00:36:08,070 --> 00:36:16,230
school districts, sporting events and activities. I have been promoting this card to all alumni,

485
00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:25,390
not just Lincoln alumni but all alumni. I go to event every last Saturday and it's

486
00:36:25,390 --> 00:36:26,950
fast, stadium,

487
00:36:28,970 --> 00:36:35,810
silence or as we call it in the 65-year-old group Wilson and all the

488
00:36:35,810 --> 00:36:44,440
other schools, Bellerman, Franklin Piers, they all know about this card but there's a

489
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:52,420
It has limited only two seniors who reside within the Tacoma Public School boundary.

490
00:36:54,980 --> 00:37:03,540
With this limitation, it eliminates many of the alumni who live outside of the Tacoma Public School boundary.

491
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:10,020
The alumni supports scholarships, athletics, and other school events.

492
00:37:11,420 --> 00:37:21,600
As it currently stands, none of alumni residing in Tacoma receives this benefit, but a

493
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:27,260
alumni that live outside the Tacoma do not, and we don't feel this is right.

494
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:29,660
the land and association.

495
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:37,720
I'd like to see this change to not only include the common alumni residents, but also include

496
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:42,660
non-resident alumni. I'm happy to take any questions.

497
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:49,660
Thank you. Thank you for sharing it.

498
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,330
I would be on the one here. I guess that concludes our bubble comment for this evening.

499
00:37:56,790 --> 00:37:59,410
Sure. I move the consent agenda. Second?

500
00:38:00,390 --> 00:38:01,990
Can you send the agenda to the movement, exactly?

501
00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:03,510
Questions, comments, questions, please?

502
00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:07,030
I have a comment and it's maybe a question.

503
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:13,390
I just want to point out that 7.3 doesn't have a month a year, and it's not filled in

504
00:38:13,390 --> 00:38:17,590
and that's because we don't have a financial and audited report for this month, correct?

505
00:38:17,870 --> 00:38:23,170
Yeah, I just want to make sure for the public that's looking at this and wondering what we're

506
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:25,810
doing, that's because there isn't one for this month.

507
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:31,240
All right, all of us in favor, shall we?

508
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:32,880
All right.

509
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,040
And you pose.

510
00:38:34,460 --> 00:38:35,560
Our consent is in the passes.

511
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,720
The agenda item number 8 policy matters.

512
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:41,660
8.1 is the second reading of new policy 5012,

513
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:45,360
parental, family, or marital status, and pregnancy

514
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,760
or pregnancy related conditions of status.

515
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:51,700
The general counsel, on behalf of the Executive Director of Human Resources,

516
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,200
recommends the board.

517
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:57,760
Directors adopt the revised draft proposal of new policy 5012.

518
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:04,000
And just real briefly, we had our equity policy review team last week, and so click into the link.

519
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:08,800
You'll recognize there's some red lines beyond what we had taken a look at for the first reading.

520
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:22,760
And those reflect the equity policy review teams recommendations, particularly around having a purpose statement that they felt more closely reflected the heart of this policy, which is non-discriminatory in nature.

521
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:32,860
So that the new purpose aim at the top, and then the second one being struck through, those are the changes that you'll see from first reading the second reading.

522
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,460
And a little bit eight point one, second.

523
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,920
The movement's seconded, we do a real call of work.

524
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:46,060
Actually, presents such a, um, so I'm going to abstain from this because I can't, I have been able to access the link to read the policy.

525
00:39:46,420 --> 00:39:51,320
Whether I was in preparing for the meeting, and even right now, and I've tried to refresh a few times.

526
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,960
just like since I haven't read it and I feel like it's ethical for me to

527
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,200
better.

528
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,780
I would like to thank you for me.

529
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:11,430
We don't need a road problem.

530
00:40:11,530 --> 00:40:11,950
We don't need a road problem.

531
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:12,970
We could do it if you like.

532
00:40:13,730 --> 00:40:13,850
Nope.

533
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:15,130
Okay.

534
00:40:16,410 --> 00:40:17,790
I don't know the name.

535
00:40:18,090 --> 00:40:19,230
We do want to go to that.

536
00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:22,130
So then that we'll go to the road problem.

537
00:40:23,050 --> 00:40:27,070
Okay, everybody got it in favor, please say aye.

538
00:40:27,390 --> 00:40:28,650
Anybody opposed?

539
00:40:29,530 --> 00:40:30,370
And we have one abstention.

540
00:40:31,450 --> 00:40:33,010

00:45:42,860 --> 00:45:44,780
You know, none of those in favor say aye.

643
00:45:45,180 --> 00:45:45,200
Aye.

644
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:52,460
In the opposed, around 11.3 passes, 11.4, approval of guaranteed maximum price of minimum number

645
00:45:52,460 --> 00:45:58,560
two to contract number TSD 26007, which will need to come to school of district number 10

646
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,900
and lighting construction, February 2026 through December 2028.

647
00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:07,460
The Chief Operating Officer recommends that the Board of Directors

648
00:46:07,460 --> 00:46:10,620
improve GMP number 2 between light and construction

649
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:13,560
and to calm the school district number 10 for the TPS

650
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,120
Central Administration Building, TAP, Improvement Project,

651
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,860
and the amount of $12 million, $9,849,

652
00:46:22,300 --> 00:46:23,580
including sales tax.

653
00:46:24,340 --> 00:46:26,780
I move item 11.4, second.

654
00:46:26,780 --> 00:46:30,780
Another point, four moved in, seconded questions coming concerned about it.

655
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:34,040
In and out, all those in favor, they're up.

656
00:46:34,580 --> 00:46:37,120
And you're opposed to 11.4 passes.

657
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:45,100
11.5 approval of the pre-construction services contract to contract number TSD26171

658
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:48,860
between Tacoma School District number 10 and ATS automation.

659
00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:55,120
The chief operating officer recommends that the Board of Directors approved the pre-construction services contract

660
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,560
between TTS Automation and Tacoma School District Number 10,

661
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,760
for the TPS Clean Building Phase 3 multi-faciliters project

662
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,200
in the amount of $1,741,333 dollars,

663
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,140
bringing the total consideration to $1,921,

664
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,160
$2,333, including sales tax.

665
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,380
I'm going to have them pay five.

666
00:47:24,060 --> 00:47:25,360
Another point five, moving second.

667
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,980
Questions about these comments, you can say.

668
00:47:27,980 --> 00:47:31,080
You know, all those in favor say hi?

669
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:31,780
All right, hi.

670
00:47:31,780 --> 00:47:32,760
And you're opposed.

671
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,000
All right, 11.5 also passes.

672
00:47:35,940 --> 00:47:38,240
You know, at the end of item number 12, both one and one,

673
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:42,540
adoption of resolution number 2191 to declare as a surplus,

674
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,620
and have authorized the sale or lease of school district property,

675
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:49,420
known as 3221 and 323 South Indian Avenue.

676
00:47:50,380 --> 00:47:53,360
The Chief Operator and Officer recommends that the Board of Directors

677
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,640
adopt resolution number 2191 to declare as surplus

678
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:05,760
and authorize the sale or lease of school, distribute property, located at 3223 in 3221 South

679
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,120
Union.

680
00:48:06,860 --> 00:48:08,060
I move item 2.1.

681
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:10,260
12.1 to the move.

682
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:12,880
Seconded.

683
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,080
Now we can do that.

684
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:14,380
OK, that's all.

685
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,700
Press the shows here.

686
00:48:15,860 --> 00:48:16,160
How you vote?

687
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:18,160
Vice President McLaren, how you vote?

688
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:18,400
Aye.

689
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:19,620
Dr. Keating, how you vote?

690
00:48:20,140 --> 00:48:21,060
Dr. Bob Wright, how you vote?

691
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:21,380
Aye.

692
00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:22,840
Dr. Freeman Lane, how you vote?

693
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:23,120
Aye.

694
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:23,740
Okay.

695
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,420
Resolution 2191 passes.

696
00:48:25,420 --> 00:48:27,420
Thank you.

697
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:35,980
12.2, the adoption of board annual goals and objectives for the 2025-2026 school year.

698
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:44,420
The District General Council recommends that the board individually approve and authorize the district to communicate the draft department of the draft annual goals and objectives.

699
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:47,580
The board formulated for the 2627 school year.

700
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,400
And just rub briefly the individually piece is in the event that there was a goal that received the majority approval.

701
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,200
and when they didn't, so we got to package them together.

702
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,420
So, starting, we'll start with COVID-19 and then we'll ask for your approval for COVID-19.

703
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,320
So, go number one, as a form of the agenda,

704
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,820
raise the board, we'll engage in at least two neighbourhood community conversations,

705
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,840
and determine if their policy changes necessary to support the sustainability

706
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,500
of our community engagement structure.

707
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,140
So, if you could move or go number one specifically,

708
00:49:18,140 --> 00:49:21,120
Don't eat for a long time, and then we'll go to go to them too.

709
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,600
To make a motion, just support it, go number one.

710
00:49:23,740 --> 00:49:23,900
Go.

711
00:49:24,380 --> 00:49:25,180
Sit back ahead.

712
00:49:25,780 --> 00:49:26,500
Have we done this?

713
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:27,000
I don't know why.

714
00:49:27,740 --> 00:49:28,320
I don't think we are.

715
00:49:28,420 --> 00:49:29,740
One time, we had a whole debate.

716
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:30,400
That was kind of funny.

717
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:31,060
No.

718
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:31,980
I just started.

719
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:33,020
Nice to meet you.

720
00:49:33,940 --> 00:49:34,580
That's what's needed.

721
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,800
He has been moving exactly the most present.

722
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,640
Any questions or comments about it?

723
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:40,980
All right.

724
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,560
All of the favourites are up.

725
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,160
Hi.

726
00:49:43,460 --> 00:49:44,620
Anybody knows about it?

727
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:45,600
Go.

728
00:49:46,340 --> 00:49:47,380
I don't know if it was good.

729
00:49:47,380 --> 00:49:51,540
All right, goal number two read the board will examine the ecosystem of after school services

730
00:49:51,540 --> 00:49:52,940
and to come to school district boundaries.

731
00:49:53,420 --> 00:49:56,600
We'll make recommendations for what role the school district will take in the ecosystem

732
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,300
so the future to support students and community.

733
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:01,780
So we'll do the same thing when we're back for goal two.

734
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:03,140
I'm going to go on number two.

735
00:50:04,220 --> 00:50:04,620
Second.

736
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:06,340
Go on number two, move the second.

737
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,340
As a presenter, we have any questions or comments about it.

738
00:50:10,420 --> 00:50:11,980
All right, all the other players, yeah?

739
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:12,860
All right.

740
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:13,700
And you vote.

741
00:50:14,380 --> 00:50:16,960
All right, we got goal number one and we got goal number two.

742
00:50:17,380 --> 00:50:23,480
So next up, I did out on the 13th and board comments and reports,

743
00:50:27,110 --> 00:50:27,870
I don't know what to do.

744
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:29,510
Yesterday was the first school.

745
00:50:30,910 --> 00:50:31,350
We're back.

746
00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:38,130
I'm very excited again to continue to say what my amazing colleagues, to sit amongst you all

747
00:50:38,130 --> 00:50:40,890
and to know that you are showing up in our community.

748
00:50:41,790 --> 00:50:48,830
Every year our board assignments change as we're a very large district and we're all at large representatives.

749
00:50:48,830 --> 00:50:53,650
And so this year I have been placed back on the east side and I love it over there

750
00:50:53,650 --> 00:50:58,990
So I'm super glad to have a full school year engaging these communities and folks

751
00:50:58,990 --> 00:51:05,550
I know however while I was there first days go at first greet a student remember you direct your bond right and that was kind of cool

752
00:51:05,550 --> 00:51:10,830
So I'm like all right eighth grade you knew that you met her one time and you made a lasting impact

753
00:51:10,830 --> 00:51:13,850
So thank you for your work. Hope it was positive. What is that?

754
00:51:14,330 --> 00:51:18,670
Do you know Director Bahundra, I'm like, that's okay, cool.

755
00:51:20,070 --> 00:51:25,570
So yeah, it's really awesome to show in and around community with folks who are also showing up in and around community.

756
00:51:26,110 --> 00:51:29,710
It's always a reminder to parents, first day school is yesterday.

757
00:51:30,290 --> 00:51:31,550
Your kids might not have their vaccines.

758
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:33,830
If you don't have them, you will be sent out.

759
00:51:34,270 --> 00:51:38,310
That was a fun conversation to have, but what else can people know about that?

760
00:51:38,890 --> 00:51:39,930
Yeah, it's a great thing.

761
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:44,970
So you can access in a CMAR clinic to help multi-care clinic amount to Homa.

762
00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:49,850
You know, you as a family and I know this is not always the best options, but there is

763
00:51:49,850 --> 00:51:54,270
the laws that require us to make sure that this happens and you know, sometimes I would

764
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:58,010
just say that once again the vulnerability is apparent, sometimes you reach an age with your child

765
00:51:58,010 --> 00:51:58,970
and you just know that.

766
00:51:59,090 --> 00:52:02,330
So 13 is kind of a magic age in that for some of those.

767
00:52:02,330 --> 00:52:10,970
And so you can go to other clinics like, you know, your local Walmart, your Safeway, a variety of things.

768
00:52:11,030 --> 00:52:15,010
We just need those records ASAP in order to have students attend classes.

769
00:52:15,970 --> 00:52:19,570
I learned that on the first day of school, we were greeting people and I was like, oh, I got to go.

770
00:52:19,690 --> 00:52:21,130
I was like, what's quick on?

771
00:52:21,230 --> 00:52:24,530
We're in the drop-off line and she's like, I didn't bring them papers, I'm like, I love that.

772
00:52:25,210 --> 00:52:29,430
So I love real engaging conversations with parents, students, community and families.

773
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:37,700
Dr. Skulltime also means that those safety flashing lights are flashing all over town. There's different

774
00:52:37,700 --> 00:52:42,300
bells, schedules, we're all getting accustomed to them. Little school starts very early in the morning,

775
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,720
which I have learned because I was there. And yeah, so just pay attention to what's going on here

776
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:53,300
community. The flash lights are at all of our local bus stop. There are lots of kids out in the morning

777
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:58,980
and in the afternoon. I also want to highlight our Fletz program is the first day for a second day school now,

778
00:52:58,980 --> 00:53:05,680
But for middle school and high school students, Josh, you would tell them more about flex and how that's an opportunity for them and their families.

779
00:53:05,980 --> 00:53:14,320
You bet. So flex is open to students. We've had students as young as elementary school sometimes take it for unique situations, but primarily for secondary students.

780
00:53:15,140 --> 00:53:19,300
It is an opportunity to take an online class that may not fit in your schedule.

781
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:25,200
may need their due to flexibility in your schedule, and students have their ability to sign up

782
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:25,980
through their school.

783
00:53:26,460 --> 00:53:28,800
They are partnership which come online.

784
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:35,080
It is a families choice to participate in that, and so if you are struggling with getting

785
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,240
the support, you can contact the district office and we can contact the school to help you

786
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:41,980
put in that process to sign that.

787
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,060
And then carry over that, I just want to mention, and I know some of our students have some

788
00:53:46,060 --> 00:53:51,420
experience in this if you are running start students and you are taking classes through running

789
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:56,320
start you have not actually started your classes yet and so it is the safe way to remind

790
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:01,100
your families that yes I'm not missing any classes and those will be starting in a couple of

791
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:01,340
weeks as

792
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:32,380
well yeah and so we annually also bring our team HR plans on coming in October and we

793
00:54:32,380 --> 00:54:37,640
actually typically bring our retention rates retention is important piece right we are we actually

794
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:44,800
We just looked at some data and I don't have the exact number, but I believe over 10 employees have reached over their 40th year with top public schools.

795
00:54:45,180 --> 00:54:50,160
So we helped to bring them up in some way to celebrate with you and just very inspiring.

796
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,040
In regards to being an admin intern, there's a process that you go through.

797
00:54:55,320 --> 00:55:00,340
You are typically sponsored by your current principal, sponsored and doors through a letter of recommendations.

798
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,320
You are participating in a higher education program.

799
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,580
So we don't run the programs themselves.

800
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,640
We help with the participation of the administrative internship as one means.

801
00:55:10,140 --> 00:55:16,180
There's also a simple state report, our support through OSPI and AWSP, where you can get a grant for sometimes released time.

802
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:25,360
Sometimes, that number has reduced over years because of the legislative budget capacity to be able to support programs in that space.

803
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:32,640
You have to be in good standing as an employee, it's an important piece that we continue to try to support in there.

804
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:38,240
It's typically a year-long program, A.W.S.P. has a framework, I think there are characteristics,

805
00:55:39,220 --> 00:55:44,820
standards, if you will, you develop activities, supports, plans in each of those activities,

806
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:50,440
different to speak. You see some folks that are also doing their other full-time job during that space.

807
00:55:51,420 --> 00:55:56,680
So it's not uncommon for, you know, whether you're a counselor or sometimes people are in Dean Rolls

808
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,340
or sometimes they're a classroom teacher and they're doing those activities above and beyond.

809
00:56:00,340 --> 00:56:06,380
So Pat Irwin is our director of Education Pathways in Global Education and so

810
00:56:06,380 --> 00:56:08,460
I'm very interested in exploring that opportunity.

811
00:56:08,820 --> 00:56:10,480
Pat would be a great person to connect.

812
00:56:11,580 --> 00:56:14,260
Okay I think that's just kind of highlights how yesterday went for me.

813
00:56:14,380 --> 00:56:19,660
There are so many intersections of staff, students, families and community as we kick off this

814
00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:20,320
new school year.

815
00:56:20,340 --> 00:56:26,460
I'm very excited about the expansion and the reclamation of the on the bell and club

816
00:56:26,460 --> 00:56:32,600
I really want to thank our staff internally before that they have been doing to reach out and engage our community.

817
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:39,160
Parents still have about three days to get fully registered, but our numbers are looking really, really good.

818
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,860
There's a lot of people who utilize these services as enrichment programming,

819
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,900
and there's so many community-based organizations that have been partnering with the district for a while

820
00:56:47,900 --> 00:56:49,800
who are coming back.

821
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,180
And so, even doesn't matter who's holding that baton,

822
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:56,160
we're always opening and passing that baton to the community.

823
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,020
So, Josh, do you want to stand more on that?

824
00:56:58,820 --> 00:57:00,740
I think you're eloquently said at all.

825
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,420
I just want to, and maybe add, you mentioned the idea

826
00:57:04,420 --> 00:57:05,920
of these are enrichment programs.

827
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,540
These are not remediation, and this is not child care.

828
00:57:09,460 --> 00:57:10,860
And so, it's not designed to be that.

829
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:12,720
With that said, to come up with schools,

830
00:57:12,860 --> 00:57:18,700
opens our doors to a number of local child care providers that provide child care

831
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:20,760
before and after school care on our campuses.

832
00:57:21,540 --> 00:57:23,780
And so if you have a question about that,

833
00:57:23,860 --> 00:57:25,260
you know, you can contact your school to say,

834
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,280
do we have one here, where's the closest one?

835
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,380
Once again, we don't run those programs.

836
00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:33,500
We partner with experts who do run those programs.

837
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,420
So again, I just also want to thank you

838
00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:38,360
to us for having that as a childcare professional.

839
00:57:38,940 --> 00:57:40,640
And before an after school or a return provider,

840
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,740
it's always good to have those distinctions

841
00:57:42,740 --> 00:57:44,100
and those markers for families.

842
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,840
And I think those are all of my comments.

843
00:57:58,510 --> 00:58:01,290
Because it's the second day of school we don't have anything.

844
00:58:01,710 --> 00:58:06,210
Everybody had a chance to maybe pop up to some schools again.

845
00:58:06,350 --> 00:58:12,530
I got the special time not at Maritime and it was good to be there to see those who were dropped off

846
00:58:12,530 --> 00:58:16,290
or those who drove themselves and those who got a bus ride down there.

847
00:58:17,050 --> 00:58:18,290
The different levels of emotion.

848
00:58:19,010 --> 00:58:20,530
Some students were really excited.

849
00:58:20,890 --> 00:58:23,870
Other students were like, it's still summer.

850
00:58:23,870 --> 00:58:30,870
So hey, it was a good mixture. We felt about any way. It was a good group of folks there to welcome there in Engage.

851
00:58:32,270 --> 00:58:36,870
And yeah, I was excited to be in this place. We helped people to experience it. I got that.

852
00:58:37,810 --> 00:58:44,050
Yeah, I walked around and gave you some of those classrooms that were not fully open during the open house.

853
00:58:45,210 --> 00:58:50,870
And to see students get ready to go into their specific pathways. So it was a good time to be down in the year time.

854
00:58:53,010 --> 00:59:01,670
I actually do want to think of something actually and I think I went and opened, helped open

855
00:59:01,670 --> 00:59:06,090
low elementary, yes, did it kind of seems like so on ago.

856
00:59:06,530 --> 00:59:12,650
So much has happened with that and it was wild, for if there will be an open house coming

857
00:59:12,650 --> 00:59:17,370
up soon and I hope folks can go because it is jaw-dropping.

858
00:59:17,690 --> 00:59:19,150
This building is spectacular.

859
00:59:19,150 --> 00:59:27,290
And my kids graduated from law, and I remember that site, it was 1950's building and it sure

860
00:59:27,290 --> 00:59:33,730
looked like it and creaked like it. And so this is nothing like that. And also, I'm just really impressed

861
00:59:33,730 --> 00:59:43,270
with the architect and the building partnership that figured out how to put all that stuff on that really

862
00:59:43,270 --> 00:59:49,690
We're in space, you know, the map of Lola's, I think, of that side area that was really

863
00:59:49,690 --> 00:59:56,950
kind of used to be portables and community gardens, whatever it was really sort of afterthought.

864
00:59:57,110 --> 00:59:59,970
And now it's a field, and there's just all the...

865
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:14,140
It's really wonderful ways that these kids can access play opportunities outside, as well as this incredible building where there's these moving statements of the stairwells and all over that are educational but also inspiring.

866
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:23,700
And honestly, I went into that library and there's this little reading room off of the corner and I mean, if I could, that would be where I am every single day. It's just such a cool space.

867
01:00:23,700 --> 01:00:30,360
So, just want to thank the voters because once again, this is all made possible by the Bond

868
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:34,540
measure that you passed for us at almost 70%.

869
01:00:34,540 --> 01:00:40,580
So, really appreciate that and these kids were beaming as they came in and it is always

870
01:00:40,580 --> 01:00:47,840
exciting to see our kids really loving coming to school and their environment makes that possible.

871
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:56,260
So, and then at 11.30, I tagged him with President Strosher, because he did the early morning at the Maritime

872
01:00:56,260 --> 01:01:01,620
Skill Center, and I went in for the second group, because if you don't know this, the way the Maritime

873
01:01:01,620 --> 01:01:10,480
Skill Center works is we have a morning session and after noon session, and so your student would be at their home

874
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:16,760
high school for half the day, and at the Maritime Skill Center for the second half, or the for the other half of the day.

875
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:22,980
So, those that were there in the morning, who President Stosier greeted, then went on to their home high school,

876
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:27,080
whether it's, you know, in wherever else, it's not always to come up public schools,

877
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,940
but wherever they go, they go back to that and they afternoon.

878
01:01:30,580 --> 01:01:34,440
And what I welcomed was the folks that had been at their home high school in the morning

879
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:40,600
and came over to spend the latter part of the day at the Maritime Skills Center.

880
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:42,200
So, that was super fun.

881
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:48,340
And what I also was impressed by was all of the community support that was there for these

882
01:01:48,340 --> 01:01:48,980
kids.

883
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:56,040
Both at Lowell and at Maritime School Center at the architecture firms, the builders, a lot

884
01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:00,360
of the subcontractors that were there to build these buildings were there to welcome the kids.

885
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:06,400
And in the case of Maritime School Center it was also the port staff was out in force.

886
01:02:06,940 --> 01:02:11,380
And so I just think that highlights our relationship and our partnership with the port

887
01:02:11,380 --> 01:02:20,520
this incredible product and project and it was really interesting because I was able to see the kids

888
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:26,560
who were from the morning session coming out and then before the other ones came in and so we

889
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:31,720
were saying hey how was your day and they were all just beaming. I mean these kids say it's amazing

890
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:37,700
and they're super inspired. So I want to thank the staff that made this possible and that

891
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:46,800
Welcome these kids every day into this really new unique environment and thank you to, you know, happy what you had a role in it.

892
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,640
And so that's my statement for today.

893
01:02:50,340 --> 01:03:03,040
This was, I'd like to just remind all of our students who had summer jobs this summer and I'm not talking about just summer jobs 2-5-3 experiences, but any kind of summer job where you ended it earned it W-2 or W-9.

894
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,280
Last year, we launched Futures253 to start your own Roth IRA account.

895
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:13,240
If you had a summer job or your TPS students had a summer job, please reach out to

896
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:18,420
our team, get on the website under the CTE program and learn about Futures Job253.

897
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:23,060
There was an opportunity through the great sponsorship of Kelly Houghton's family foundation,

898
01:03:24,420 --> 01:03:29,600
Wells Fargo and Tapco to sponsor you starting a Roth IRA account.

899
01:03:30,140 --> 01:03:38,400
Yes, you have to participate in some financial literacy that may not be the most exciting and engaging, but it is an important information for you to learn about.

900
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:44,200
And I think sometimes, you know, we forget about those summer experiences and the ability to continue to best in yourself.

901
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:57,060
So if you know of a child, or if you are of a student that participated in job this summer, please reach out and let's get you signed up for that opportunity to start your own retirement account now.

902
01:03:59,300 --> 01:03:59,960
Absolutely.

903
01:04:00,460 --> 01:04:01,080
Any other comment?

904
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:03,620
All right.

905
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:06,420
We'll jump on to agenda item number 14.

906
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,460
And now's going to next regular board minute meeting.

907
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,880
Until further notice, our board meetings will be here in this space.

908
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Our next board meeting will be September of the 24th.

909
01:04:16,820 --> 01:04:18,080
That's six p.m.

910
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:22,760
Following that meeting, we will have another one on October 8th, 2026 here in this space.

911
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:24,500
We'll then October 15th, 2026.

912
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,240
We will have a study session.

913
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:31,220
Before we close any additional comments, questions concerns.

914
01:04:32,580 --> 01:04:34,080
We've done being heard, we're done.
