1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,700
It's ready to go. All right, call the meeting to order. I'd like to welcome everybody to the special board meeting for the Faculty of Unified School District.

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,440
Dr. Jane, approval of the agenda.

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,160
changes to the agenda. No, no, no changes. Fantastic. And a motion to approve the

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,400
agenda as presented. Move by Mallberg, second by Windham, roll call vote.

5
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,940
Ms. Sally, I see you. That's yes, thank you. Mr. Windham? Yes. Mr. Kitses? Yes. Mr. Stacey?

6
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,020
Yes. Mr. Silva? Yes. Mrs. Mubber? Yes.

7
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:49,520
Mr. Johnson? Yes. Thank you. Okay, with that item, number five comments from the floor. We are

8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,440
going to go ahead and open up the chat so people can have the ability to put their name on the list.

9
00:00:56,060 --> 00:00:58,220
Please welcome to those that are on Zoom.

10
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:01,660
If once the chat is open, you can go ahead and open it.

11
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:08,360
Once it's open, it's designed primarily just or solely just to put your name on there if you'd like to speak on the item.

12
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:16,040
We're going to leave this open for about three to five minutes so we make sure that everybody has an opportunity to have their ability to put their name on there.

13
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,080
So it'll be a little uncomfortable and quiet in here for a few, but other than that, we want to make sure they have the opportunity.

14
00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:39,450
Let's do this.

15
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:51,230
People on Zoom, when we open the chat, we would appreciate that it is solely for putting the names on the list of people who would like to speak.

16
00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:54,030
Any type of profanity is not allowed.

17
00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:58,130
If that continues, we will not allow you to speak from Zoom.

18
00:01:58,130 --> 00:02:02,530
So, please, for the courtesy of people that would like to speak,

19
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:09,640
watch your language, and please be courteous.

20
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,640
I'll still give it a few more minutes.

21
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,680
You can go open that up.

22
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Okay, just for some clarification, some comments from the floor tonight, we're only allowing

23
00:04:22,460 --> 00:04:26,940
by the Brown Act comments from the floor that items on the agenda.

24
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,080
So if anyone's on Zoom and they're wishing to speak about graduation, this is not the

25
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,820
appropriate for them to do that. We can allow that. We'd be violating the Brown Act, which we're

26
00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:41,660
held accountable to. It's not because we don't want to hear from you. It's just how the

27
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:44,480
meeting is set up by the law that we're not allowed to.

28
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,720
The public to hear things should go back to this meeting, because you cannot hear, that's just an echo.

29
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,520
We are working on a workaround to allow people that want to participate in the workaround.

30
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,320
such as you folks that took the time to come here to have the ability to speak.

31
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,120
So if you'd be patient with us while our IT works on that, we'd appreciate it.

32
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:53,940
Fantastic.

33
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,260
Fantastic. So item number five comments from the floor items on the agenda.

34
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:21,500
Seeing that we're going to have a lot of speakers tonight. We're going to limit your time to two minutes instead of the three minutes and that will allow for the folks on zoom to have an opportunity to speak as well.

35
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,500
You can keep time for me, please, and then do you have your little cards?

36
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:29,860
Oh

37
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:36,030
yeah, you can use your phone.

38
00:08:07,980 --> 00:08:08,640
You ready to go?

39
00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:10,120
All right, fantastic.

40
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Let's go ahead and get going.

41
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:16,020
And I'm going to apologize if I mispronounce your names.

42
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:17,720
But Mindy, bowl?

43
00:08:18,260 --> 00:08:19,760
Is it correct?

44
00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:21,080
Bowley.

45
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Welcome, how are you this evening?

46
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Thank you. I'm good. Can I take this off to the top?

47
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,120
By all means. Thank you.

48
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,900
Thank you.

49
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,380
That's good evening. My name is Mindy Bowley and my children have attended school in the district for the last 16 years.

50
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:41,820
Prior to that, I'm a product of the Backville Unified School District, both my parents and my grandparents are.

51
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:45,380
So we've been around back to the school district for a long time.

52
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:52,020
I understand the difficult position you guys are in to try to decide how to handle the upcoming school year.

53
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:55,920
knowing that no decision you make will make everyone happy.

54
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Recognizing the countless hours you have spent on making this decision you're here to make tonight.

55
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:10,520
I feel that you do have to spend a little bit of time to talk about the graduates that graduated last year.

56
00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:36,000
That's why you guys have done workshop after workshop with the parents, with the district, with the public health official, about what you can do to make this work for next year's school year.

57
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:44,560
I think you need to put a fraction of that effort to also get that into the graduation for the seniors that graduated.

58
00:09:45,060 --> 00:09:50,720
Madam, if you're speaking about graduation, I'm saying that if you are going, if you are here today,

59
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:59,480
at all, to consider opening the schools in any fraction, in any fashion of having students in the classroom with teachers.

60
00:10:00,110 --> 00:10:06,410
You're putting a greater risk than anything that was put in play or proposed to you by Dr. Schemean.

61
00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:16,530
So I think that you have a number of parents, a number of willing volunteers to help you come up with a plan that is safe, that you need to do.

62
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:18,070
Just like you have people here today.

63
00:10:18,070 --> 00:10:20,770
And in the end, man, I think you're speaking about graduation and not the future.

64
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:28,990
I'm speaking about both. My husband is a teacher in this district, so don't discount my ability to think about what's happening with opening schools.

65
00:10:28,990 --> 00:10:35,230
That affects me personally as well. I just think that you need to look at all of it. The school district is

66
00:10:35,770 --> 00:10:40,910
The school district has been great for many reasons, and it's because you haven't attitude of what can we do?

67
00:10:41,290 --> 00:10:41,370
Thank you.

68
00:10:41,650 --> 00:10:43,670
Your time is up. Thank you.

69
00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:44,710
Could you?

70
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:46,030
Did you flash the cards?

71
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:48,390
Okay. Fantastic. Thank you.

72
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:49,610
All right.

73
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,280
Thank you, Mindy Julia.

74
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:54,340
Meek?

75
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Hi, I'm getting evening. My name is Julian Meek. I will be a junior at Old Seewood High School of School here.

76
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,100
I want to speak tonight on reopening the schools.

77
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,540
It's really important that we give out to the school full of time with never restrictions.

78
00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:13,140
The virus so really affects children, and even if it did the survival rate is 90%.

79
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:13,960
The food is worse.

80
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,480
My friends and I need to be in school full of time.

81
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:21,240
Our mental health is in physical well-being, in future, and in education depends on it.

82
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:25,520
I also want to ask that you seriously consider the dangers of wearing masks for a long period of time.

83
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,880
In the fact that they're useless, I know for sure my parents are not allowed me to wear a mask

84
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,020
as to school and I agree with that.

85
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:33,120
Thank you for your time and consideration.

86
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:34,180
Thank you, Julie.

87
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:35,460
Appreciate it.

88
00:11:38,820 --> 00:11:41,380
Shana, Moriarty.

89
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:50,280
My name is Shana Moriarty, and my family represents three generations

90
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,620
of graduates from back to the unified school district.

91
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,700
Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

92
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,860
The current suggestion for high school students

93
00:11:57,860 --> 00:12:00,300
to only attend school two days a week is not acceptable.

94
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:03,420
Our kids, especially high schoolers need interaction

95
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:09,040
with their peers in person instruction from their teachers and oversight by their coaches and mentors.

96
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:15,300
These are our young people who will very soon be entering the real world. In the real world,

97
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:22,680
we live in Vacville, California, in Salano County. This is not New York, Florida, or even Los Angeles.

98
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:28,400
We must not make decisions for our community based on statistics in the rest of the country.

99
00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:34,100
Statistically, our COVID members are low, our testing is high, and our positivity rate is

100
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,480
well below state guidelines.

101
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,200
Yes, safely returning to school should be a top priority, but instead of focusing on how

102
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,180
to keep kids home, which, by the way, they will not, and they are not.

103
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,060
We should be focusing on how to accommodate the majority who choose to return to campus.

104
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:55,780
Several districts near and far have offered their own solutions, and Colorado, for example,

105
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:59,980
they're implementing a longer block schedule with two classes per day five days a week.

106
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:02,740
That model limits students co-mingling.

107
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:10,200
One Sacramento district has decided if you were one who voted 60% to return, you will

108
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,280
be given priority registration and they will accommodate three major with distance learning.

109
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,420
The same can be done for staff who are fearful for their safety.

110
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:23,420
We have heard of local districts which have already determined they will return full-time

111
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:25,560
as distance learning model was unsuccessful

112
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,880
with only a 30% participation rate.

113
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,100
Our back of the students being punished for stepping up

114
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,600
and doing their work when you shut us down in the screen.

115
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,940
If that is the case and all it takes

116
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:39,180
is a lack of participation, perhaps that is the next step

117
00:13:39,180 --> 00:13:40,820
in getting our students what they need.

118
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:43,160
Okay, ma'am, I'm sorry your time is up.

119
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:44,100
Thank you very much.

120
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:46,260
You must go back to the drawing board

121
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:49,140
and we expect more from our elected officials.

122
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:58,500
Kaylin, if I said that right, thank you to Ray. Welcome.

123
00:14:02,650 --> 00:14:05,290
Hello, my name is Kaylin Pettard.

124
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:09,110
I am a, I'm a high-risk student.

125
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,230
And I have a hard condition.

126
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:15,310
It sucks. Anyways, but I'm going to back high,

127
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:19,230
when we sophomore next year, my brother's going to be a senior next year.

128
00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:22,250
Then he's going to have to worry, which sucks for me.

129
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:24,450
Because I'm going to miss him.

130
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:28,810
It's my opinion that we should return to school full-time.

131
00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:33,530
If half the students are there, half the week, and half the other students,

132
00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:39,970
other half of the week, the teachers and staff are still being exposed to 100% of students.

133
00:14:40,130 --> 00:14:41,870
100% doesn't matter.

134
00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:51,070
So we can't protect teachers and staff from the virus if we're doing the same thing.

135
00:14:51,070 --> 00:14:58,450
It's proven not to have a significant impact on our age of kids, high school, middle school.

136
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:09,080
With a proposed semester with what we're trying to be happening,

137
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:25,010
it's going to make it more difficult for kids, especially kids who are already struggling in school to learn and remember the information taught to talk to us since they will have to learn the information and have the time.

138
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:30,990
Families should be given a choice to return their students to campus full-time or

139
00:15:31,570 --> 00:15:37,010
To have full-distance learning there should be two choices. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

140
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Looks like someone that might be related Amy.

141
00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:46,910
Got the same last name's going on there.

142
00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:50,630
Hi, my name's Amy Thard.

143
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:56,190
I am a parent in the back of the year. If I'd school district I've got my daughter there that just spoke. It's gonna be a sophomore

144
00:15:56,190 --> 00:16:00,310
at my son that we have seen here this next year. And I agree with my daughter. I feel like

145
00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:04,750
we should be given the option to return our kids to school full-time. If the current

146
00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:09,490
per post schedule, the staff that teachers are all being exposed to 100 percent of the students

147
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:14,790
every week in and in ways. So let's just bring all the students back. The death rate for students

148
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:20,410
under the age of 18 is absolutely zero in Southern County. The infected rate also is very low.

149
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:25,670
My daughter is high risk. She is a heart condition. She's on the high risk list. I'm comfortable

150
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:31,050
sending her back to school and allowing her to go back mass free regular because mental health

151
00:16:31,050 --> 00:16:36,170
is way more important than what's going on currently. We can combat a virus, we can take measures,

152
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:40,670
we can vitamin D, vitamin C, do all the natural things that you should be doing that combat it,

153
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:45,390
and we should be allowed to bring her students back full-time. Great. Thank you.

154
00:16:50,390 --> 00:16:51,170
Mr. Blancid.

155
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Good evening.

156
00:16:57,220 --> 00:17:01,080
Can you hear my opinion through this? Yeah. Those of you that don't know,

157
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,540
I'm Todd Blancett, the President of Act of El Teachers Association.

158
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,080
You have a difficult decision to make today, and I don't envy you.

159
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:13,380
I spoke last month about why you should take a cautious safe approach when opening schools,

160
00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:18,560
and I'm here tonight to tell you that VTA endorses the staged reopening plans developed

161
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,680
by the communities, excuse me, committees, and we look forward to working with the administration

162
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,100
on all other details of opening safely.

163
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:31,540
There are over 700 teachers, counselors, psychologists, speech therapists, and nurses working

164
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:32,440
for VUHD.

165
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,580
Over the past few weeks, many of them have written to you and spoken at the last board meeting

166
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:41,220
about their concerns about safely returning to next school year.

167
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:45,980
They have spouses, children, and parents who care about them, and they deserve a chance

168
00:17:45,980 --> 00:17:47,240
to be safe at work.

169
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:52,200
It is possible to open our schools safely this August, and we owe it to our employees

170
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,180
to do that.

171
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,900
School won't look the same as it did before coronavirus, but nothing does.

172
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:05,500
A trick to luckies, to Los Reyes, to sports cuts, or anywhere else, isn't the same as it was before.

173
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,420
And just like everything else, everywhere else, we have to adapt.

174
00:18:10,660 --> 00:18:15,380
We owe it to our employees and our students to provide us safe and environment as we reasonably can.

175
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,900
The plans that the committees developed will allow that.

176
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:25,960
The plans are a compromise that provides students' essential class time and everyone, a minimal sense of safety.

177
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:31,780
When we left school in March, it was in a rush and we weren't really prepared to distance teach.

178
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:38,800
Our distance teaching is more developed now than it was before, and we've had time to get the details right before school starts.

179
00:18:39,820 --> 00:18:44,100
At the elementary level, the plans provide daily teacher contact for students.

180
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,050
They allow physical distancing, child care options for those who need it.

181
00:18:48,050 --> 00:18:53,290
physical distancing is at least possible with the modified schedules in middle school in high school,

182
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:58,410
and the students have direct contact with teachers on a regular basis, so they're boring supported.

183
00:18:59,390 --> 00:19:03,910
We know the situation is an ideal for students' parents or teachers, but as a compromise it can work.

184
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:08,050
VTA urges the board to adopt the plans developed by the district's committee.

185
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:09,270
Thank you.

186
00:19:09,770 --> 00:19:10,510
Thank you.

187
00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:16,090
Trish.

188
00:19:16,270 --> 00:19:16,650
Cardosa?

189
00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:20,370
Okay.

190
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:20,910
Sorry.

191
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:21,570
Thank you.

192
00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:28,500
Oh, I saw that back of the room. Is that you?

193
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:28,900
Yep.

194
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:33,160
What's your name?

195
00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:34,460
My name is Casey.

196
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,760
My daughter in the back is going to be starting kindergarten next year.

197
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:48,420
And this is very frustrating to see that if you guys are going to vote for 50, 50,

198
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:51,080
reopening, who's going to take care of her?

199
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,100
Do you want to babysit for the rest of the day? Well, I work because I call the full time drop.

200
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320
I carried the benefits for my family. It's not 1950.

201
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:19,160
So, I need to have full-time school. You're going to feel her as a student. You're going to feel all the children. You're going to have to invest in a lot of mental health of people in order to help compensate for the issues that you're going to cause if you don't go full-time.

202
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:27,240
I saw the survey from online and first responders don't get time off, they haven't been off.

203
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,780
So why should the teachers, all the teachers are upset about it?

204
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,320
So maybe you should consider them first essential workers as well.

205
00:20:38,220 --> 00:20:39,620
So that's my.

206
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:42,140
Okay, thank you very much.

207
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:52,040
And then Theresa, the Miss Cardosa was,

208
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:56,510
no, no, no, I had,

209
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:58,350
took, uh, Trish Cardosa.

210
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:01,750
Great.

211
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:05,670
Okay, thank you very much, um, and Mercy.

212
00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:07,290
How much?

213
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:10,920
Hello, Mercy.

214
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:11,500
Welcome.

215
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:13,500
How are you?

216
00:21:13,580 --> 00:21:14,300
Good, how are you?

217
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,160
I'm very good.

218
00:21:16,060 --> 00:21:21,940
I'm 99 and I go to Cairo and I really have miss my friends during this.

219
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:27,800
and it's been hard being away from all them and stuff and we do have a special

220
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:33,800
at it our school and they do get a special more special help but I don't think

221
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,420
it'd be fair to them if their teachers or them had to wear masks make it

222
00:21:37,420 --> 00:21:42,520
very confusing for them and the teachers they'd be confused and what about all

223
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,380
the kids who are abused at home and schools their own way to get away and

224
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:54,740
And they get away, they get a chance to actually be free, but then people ring masks and all that.

225
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:04,000
And so, again, people go to work too, and kids will have to stay on the wall and that's not safe at all.

226
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:12,940
If kids or their parents are very scared, they can go, they can do online school, because I know that was an option for them.

227
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:19,020
And it's going to be hard for even everyone who doesn't have who learn just fine with the mask.

228
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:21,840
And it's going to be really hard for it.

229
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:26,060
There'll be confusing for everyone if they're teachers as a mask, if they have a mask.

230
00:22:28,620 --> 00:22:34,980
And it's kind of like, I smile people at the time, but they don't smile back anymore.

231
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:44,200
and people will get very depressed if because I know people were talking about only half the day of school

232
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:54,420
people were going to be really depressed and they're going to be really depressed and with a mask and even if it's no lunch

233
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:00,080
so because that's kind of the only half 15 minutes to really talk at recess

234
00:23:02,380 --> 00:23:17,240
And if you guys are scared, you guys can do online school or an people who, if they are going to be forcing a mask, people are going to go to private school, which isn't going to force everything, and people are going to go to homeschool.

235
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:17,800
Thank you.

236
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:20,040
Okay. Nice job, Mercy.

237
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:36,100
We have a lot of people trying to get on so I just rather say it publicly if we can open a second zoom because we're max out of 300 and there are people who want to see what's going on.

238
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,800
But I don't know how and if we can just open a second meeting.

239
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,160
I think open up a link but then I don't know how it is.

240
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:45,300
You'd have something to link to what's in.

241
00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:48,140
I wouldn't be nowhere to go.

242
00:23:48,980 --> 00:23:50,900
I have no idea. I don't have the answer. That question.

243
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,200
Facebook. Everybody learns everything.

244
00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,880
I don't know.

245
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,360
I don't know.

246
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:05,260
I don't know.

247
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:34,540
okay so my understanding there's a lot of people that can't get on to zoom so what we're going

248
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:41,380
do is post a address for you to be able to watch the streaming video.

249
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,400
If you're just getting on now and you wanted to speak, I apologize your late to the meeting.

250
00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:51,060
We had a certain amount of time that was a lot for people to put their name in, but

251
00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:55,960
by all means you can have the opportunity to watch.

252
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,920
So yes

253
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:15,400
If the chat is for to say, I want to speak, right? So I know everybody is doing what they did a couple of, lots of people are doing what they did a couple of weeks ago, which is just making comments comments comments.

254
00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:25,580
So, is the chat still open? I'm watching it. Why? I thought we decided to close it once we took.

255
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:32,120
It needs to be closed so we don't have that same problem that we had earlier.

256
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:39,360
As long as we have everybody's names that had put in, I have those now for the Zoom, but

257
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,020
still won't speak right now.

258
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:52,840
I do, but I wanted to say to Mercy and K-Lan, and, thank you very much for speaking.

259
00:25:53,340 --> 00:25:54,980
That's really hard to do.

260
00:25:54,980 --> 00:25:59,740
not saying that you don't have the ability at your age, but especially you to be able to get

261
00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:05,420
up here into voice your opinion and to participate in this process. That's absolutely fantastic.

262
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,760
Continue to do that throughout the rest of your life. That would be a great thing. But you guys did a great job.

263
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:18,520
I just wanted to acknowledge that you guys did that. So, and then with that, we'll have Chrissy come speak.

264
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:31,560
Chrissy, first of all, respect to all of you guys. Second of all, y'all are not dead.

265
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,480
responding to emails, you might want to get better at that. So just FYI, this is not personal

266
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,160
to you. So just heads up, I don't think you're listening to nice, I don't think you're listening

267
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:48,060
to please and can you and whatever. So buckle up your seat belts and get ready. Corona is in the

268
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:54,060
past. We are almost 200 days out from just do this and just do that. Kids are not even at risk for it.

269
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:59,340
Why are we even in this meeting? Why do I even have to send you an email about something that isn't

270
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:01,780
even a threat to our kids.

271
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,260
Now I understand you probably watch a different news channel

272
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:04,820
that I do.

273
00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:08,300
So you probably are on team propaganda, team fear,

274
00:27:08,540 --> 00:27:10,260
and I understand that and you get to do that.

275
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:11,560
That is your personal choice.

276
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,700
But listen, people work, people are on IEPs.

277
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:15,700
Online isn't working.

278
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,620
We have to do better.

279
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,320
Phase four, sure, it's okay.

280
00:27:20,380 --> 00:27:22,680
But we're five, I didn't see five on a list.

281
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,760
So five should be go back to school, stop, fear propaganda,

282
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,620
and stop pedaling this corona cult that is going around.

283
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,460
Please do your research.

284
00:27:33,980 --> 00:27:38,000
Please watch something else beside CNN so that we don't have to come to meetings like this.

285
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,240
Our kids are at risk for vaping addiction, suicide, abuse.

286
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,060
Please, let's have that conversation.

287
00:27:44,380 --> 00:27:48,420
We shouldn't have to spend tonight coming here talking about going back to school.

288
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:51,620
Okay, if your teachers and your students don't want to go back, this is America.

289
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,100
Please do not shine at my kid's school.

290
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,700
Please do not shine at my America.

291
00:27:55,700 --> 00:28:05,100
Okay, so last I checked we are a free nation and we actually have rights in the Constitution and maybe we should revisit those things where we have choice

292
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:12,720
So again, please take a stand for common sense the Constitution liberty and freedom and for our children that are not only

293
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,080
Monorble that are abused in dealing with all kinds of things in addiction and special needs

294
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:23,640
But please guys, this is beyond ridiculous like let's move forward. Let's open our schools and if you don't want to go

295
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,680
Then don't go. That's all there is to it

296
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,040
Thank you.

297
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,920
Okay, Mysteries, do we have the next list?

298
00:28:39,460 --> 00:28:40,060
Thank you.

299
00:28:43,290 --> 00:28:49,250
All right. So for ready, if we could bring up Austin Preston, please?

300
00:28:53,170 --> 00:29:03,110
Oh, and good evening. I am a parent of two students as well as a husband of a teacher. And my biggest concern, I understand everybody has there.

301
00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:07,310
and what's going on in this situation.

302
00:29:09,130 --> 00:29:15,630
To me, there is no way that you're going to even keep half the people happy.

303
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:21,690
Nobody is going to agree with the decision to see if they're going to ever go to the voting stake in place.

304
00:29:22,570 --> 00:29:26,250
However, when we're looking at different phases, my big questions are,

305
00:29:26,410 --> 00:29:32,530
how are school sites going to sanitize school with the classrooms in between various groups?

306
00:29:32,530 --> 00:29:39,990
So if right now there are already short staff on the custodial staff and we're already looking at budget cuts.

307
00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:48,190
So reducing the amount of teachers and custodings that are available on a school safe, but also increasing the amount of students in a classroom.

308
00:29:48,730 --> 00:29:58,550
If we're looking at a hybrid model of social distancing within a classroom, how can we fit more students in a classroom that is going to require social distancing?

309
00:29:58,550 --> 00:29:59,970
It just doesn't

310
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:12,220
That there is a viable option for either direction. And I would hope that it's not going to come at the cost of students getting sick or students taking that sickness home and spreading it to others.

311
00:30:13,180 --> 00:30:22,580
One of the agenda points in the PowerPoint presentation indicated that reducing the liability of this situation for the school district is one of the key points.

312
00:30:22,580 --> 00:30:33,300
And if a student, while they don't show symptoms or an asymptomatic spread, or it takes that sickness home to a family member, how is that reducing the liability to the school district?

313
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,800
Thank you for your time.

314
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,480
Thank you, Austin.

315
00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:40,480
Next we'll go with Tina.

316
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:41,620
Chilinsky.

317
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,700
We're getting to you here in a second.

318
00:30:46,780 --> 00:30:47,460
Now you're right.

319
00:30:55,390 --> 00:30:56,810
There we go.

320
00:30:56,810 --> 00:30:58,810
Hello Tina are you there?

321
00:30:59,950 --> 00:31:00,470
Hi.

322
00:31:00,470 --> 00:31:00,810
Hi.

323
00:31:01,370 --> 00:31:01,710
Yeah.

324
00:31:01,890 --> 00:31:03,710
Certainly can hear you go ahead and welcome.

325
00:31:04,510 --> 00:31:04,530
Okay.

326
00:31:04,570 --> 00:31:04,990
Thank you.

327
00:31:05,150 --> 00:31:05,410
Good evening.

328
00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:10,330
So I did have a couple of things to say.

329
00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:11,150
I am.

330
00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:20,350
I have a 39 year old and a 36 year old and a 26 year old and a 22 year old that have all graduated from back high.

331
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:32,510
And I have continued to be linked with back-ville schools because I've been doing daycare for 22 years out of my home for 14 kids every day.

332
00:31:33,050 --> 00:31:38,570
So I do take them back and forth to school mostly to Brown Valley and to Markham.

333
00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:48,450
However, what are issues where we were teaching three different grade levels, actually four different grade levels along with preschool.

334
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:56,990
March, April, May, and part of June, was that the teachers were all on different pages.

335
00:31:57,170 --> 00:32:02,710
Nobody was doing the same thing. Only one teacher out of all the teachers was doing zoom

336
00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:09,670
meetings for hours. So my biggest thing I'd like to say is that it's very important for the

337
00:32:09,670 --> 00:32:14,850
board to please look at the fact that there needs to be continuity across the board. All

338
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:16,890
First grader should have the same curriculum.

339
00:32:17,530 --> 00:32:20,050
Every single teacher should be doing a Zoom

340
00:32:20,050 --> 00:32:23,350
if they are not having students attend that day.

341
00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:30,850
My second thing would be if there's so many

342
00:32:30,850 --> 00:32:34,330
different grade levels that child care is supposed

343
00:32:34,330 --> 00:32:36,610
to be helping to independent the study,

344
00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:40,290
is there a support that we can give to that

345
00:32:40,290 --> 00:32:43,210
perhaps the certain liaison at this school

346
00:32:43,210 --> 00:32:48,650
this sort of level that we can work personally with to work through these things. I have seven

347
00:32:49,210 --> 00:32:55,270
school-aged children besides all my preschoolers this year that I will need at a third, second, and first

348
00:32:55,270 --> 00:33:02,750
and kindergarten nurse that I will need help getting all of this put together to make sure we

349
00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:08,050
can do a good job with distance learning for them. Excellent. Thank you, Tina.

350
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:15,370
next up will be Kristen Navarro. Kristen we're getting to you.

351
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:28,030
Hello, Kristen. Can you hear us?

352
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:36,670
Hi. Hi. I'll make it for two minutes. So I just real quick with one elementary and with one high school student.

353
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:43,330
I will have kids on completely opposite schedules. I can't see how this will work for any family or teacher with kids in the district.

354
00:33:43,330 --> 00:33:50,590
It seems to me that the current proposal will just lead to families withdrawing their students and possibly lead to teacher layoffs, which is counterintuitive.

355
00:33:51,550 --> 00:33:57,350
Talking data, California has 6,900 blue deaths for the past season, even with the vaccine.

356
00:33:57,930 --> 00:34:02,490
Compare that to the 6,400 COVID deaths this year with zero natural immunity and no vaccine.

357
00:34:03,170 --> 00:34:08,630
Solano averages 81 blue deaths per year compared to our current 25 COVID deaths.

358
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:14,710
It is worth mentioning that the CDC reported last week represented the 10th week of declining

359
00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:20,530
death due to pneumonia, influenza, and COVID. I think people lost sight that increasing positive

360
00:34:20,530 --> 00:34:26,410
cases without exponentially increasing hospitalizations is a really good thing. It's a highly

361
00:34:26,410 --> 00:34:31,850
contagious, highly survival virus. Vacabilities unique in that we were exposed to the virus

362
00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:37,770
much before like, before much of the country. Patient zero had been exposed to multiple people before

363
00:34:37,770 --> 00:34:42,690
ultimately being hospitalized back a valley. We had cruise ship COVID patients at Kaiser

364
00:34:42,690 --> 00:34:47,770
Valley and Travis Air Force Base. Google continued for a full month after this without

365
00:34:47,770 --> 00:34:53,290
an influx of cases. And even with first responders to work entirely these past four months,

366
00:34:53,490 --> 00:34:59,970
Solano has only had 1,740 positive COVID cases, cases out of a population of 447,000.

367
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:29,980
If we are not need deep in hospitalizations by now, we're not going to be. Teachers absolutely deserve a safe environment, but I'm not sure what about the current data shows any high risk. I am asking that the BUSD board use data, not media high, not misinformation or politics as a driving force behind their decision. Please, please be an advocate for our students. Anything less than full time is detrimental to their social and emotional development. Let's get back to what's best for the greater good.

368
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,020
Thank you guys. Thank you, Kristen.

369
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,080
Ayesha. Faust.

370
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:42,160
We're getting to you.

371
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,420
There we go.

372
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,820
All right. Certainly can. Go ahead.

373
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:03,000
Okay. Wonderful. I want to just, I'm going to teach you at Mark and Melanie.

374
00:36:03,380 --> 00:36:06,400
And I just quickly want to talk about the teacher's side of this.

375
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,280
I want to quickly go back to back before the pandemic.

376
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,540
when we were all just regular teachers and not crisis time teachers. A few things that were

377
00:36:14,540 --> 00:36:19,640
true for teachers at that time. We were working an average of 50 hours per week, almost 17

378
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:25,140
hours unpaid more than our contract in this district. We were working full-time jobs with part-time

379
00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:31,820
pay and this has become the expectation for teachers. But teachers are professionals, 56% of

380
00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:37,480
public school teachers had at least a master's degree as of 2011, as well as four years of bachelor's

381
00:36:37,480 --> 00:37:01,960
potential induction hours of professional development and more and yet about one in five teachers have a second job and some even qualified for food stamps. Speaking of money, let's talk student supplies a study found that 94% of US teachers spend and feel an expectation to spend their own money on school supplies, $479 average yearly and 7% even spent more than a thousand dollars.

382
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:13,340
So it's no wonder that 93% of elementary school teachers report a high stress level, and how about the expectation that we've protect our kids during an active shooter emergency.

383
00:37:13,820 --> 00:37:21,800
We are literally expected to take a bullet for our kids, and then COVID happened, and I don't really need to tell you all the challenges that came with that.

384
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:30,480
So the expectations that teachers are child care is an absolutely appalling thing to think of given everything that we already do.

385
00:37:30,940 --> 00:37:35,820
I understand that this virus is extremely inconvenient for everyone, but there are other options.

386
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:41,000
The public education is already used as a bandage for some of society's most heartbreaking issues.

387
00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:51,100
So most of these are really deeply entrenched in trench systemic issues that you guys can't control, but you do have the power to make a decision about how we reenter school.

388
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,960
With this power ask if you want things, please do not make us martyrs.

389
00:37:55,180 --> 00:37:59,400
We already martyr ourselves every day putting ourselves last on the list behind everything else.

390
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,120
We don't want accolades, we just want someone to do for all everyone else.

391
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,440
Thank you.

392
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:06,480
Thank you, Aisha.

393
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,940
The next is concerned, parent.

394
00:38:10,220 --> 00:38:12,140
I guess is the...

395
00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:15,200
I'm concerned, yeah.

396
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:15,320
I'm concerned, yeah.

397
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,100
They're not here.

398
00:38:22,270 --> 00:38:23,370
One last look.

399
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:35,900
Okay,

400
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,100
not seeing any will move on, sorry, concern parent.

401
00:38:51,540 --> 00:38:57,040
Emily, feel please, if you could bring Emily up, that would be great.

402
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:04,260
Hello Miss Emily, can you hear us?

403
00:39:05,020 --> 00:39:06,380
I can hear you, can you hear me?

404
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:07,840
I've got you, go ahead.

405
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:09,520
All right.

406
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,880
First of all, I would like to thank the board and the staff and the committees that have worked so hard to prepare the plan.

407
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,840
that's been presented. I've been the several meetings to ask you to consider an AAMP and

408
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,420
Schedule for last winter garden students remember I'm the teacher from paid elementary school.

409
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:31,900
I want to say that the elementary plan presented in the agenda is a good one. It allows

410
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:38,660
maximum student contact time while still allowing safe social distancing. I believe that the smaller

411
00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:44,400
class size will have under this model is going to allow kids to master the standards faster than they

412
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,520
would have if we had 100% on campus.

413
00:39:47,060 --> 00:39:49,360
That means that there will be no loss of learning

414
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,540
if we go forward with the plan that's presented.

415
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,540
Thank you so much.

416
00:39:55,610 --> 00:39:56,250
Thank you, Emily.

417
00:39:57,830 --> 00:39:59,870
Next, we'll be Sandy Wright.

418
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,180
Sandy, we're working our way toward you.

419
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,920
And hello, Miss Sandy. Can you hear us?

420
00:40:15,270 --> 00:40:15,270
Sandy?

421
00:40:19,730 --> 00:40:20,370
Hello, Sandy?

422
00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:27,790
Yeah, I see that. Maybe step away.

423
00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:36,010
All right, we'll move on. We're looking for David Weller's next, please.

424
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,780
This is David Weller. We got you. Go ahead.

425
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,340
So I just want to say thank you for your efforts in trying to protect the students and the teachers and the families of the district.

426
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,220
This is not an easy job.

427
00:40:52,540 --> 00:40:54,460
The meeting is a mental health professional.

428
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:58,080
Our students need to be in school.

429
00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:04,000
They are exhausted from trying to learn on Zoom when that works.

430
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:13,700
Not all families have access to the appropriate levels of electronic devices and internet in the home to be able to do this.

431
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:21,620
And when you have multiple children in the various schools competing for bandwidth and resources to access

432
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:23,980
a Zoom that makes it difficult for families,

433
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:32,960
there are an astonishing lack of pediatric psychiatric services in the area,

434
00:41:33,580 --> 00:41:39,740
which makes it difficult for any of the children suffering from the isolation and depression to access those

435
00:41:39,740 --> 00:41:49,580
resources appropriately. And finally their children can wear masks in school and still get

436
00:41:49,580 --> 00:41:55,340
the resources they need and be able to play the sports and have the outlets that they need

437
00:41:55,340 --> 00:42:02,820
to be able to function appropriately and have any type of chance at progressing appropriately

438
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:07,060
with the rest of their peers in their nation. Thank you for your time.

439
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:15,060
Thank you, David, next is Mr. Hobbs, Paul Hobbs,

440
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:26,740
is what I have Hobbs, H.O.B.B.B.S.

441
00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:31,230
Okay, not there.

442
00:42:31,610 --> 00:42:35,290
All right, is it Mickey next, Mickey Malone?

443
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Me and I, thank you.

444
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:48,420
So, however you restart school this year, we have two children in the school district who are hearing impaired.

445
00:42:48,420 --> 00:42:51,520
their hearing impairment is not corrected with hearing aids.

446
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,480
So when you put the mask on, they lose part of their ability

447
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,080
to hear what's being communicated,

448
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,780
so that is the first thing.

449
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:05,680
The other thing is that we're not really being offered other alternatives.

450
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:13,180
So we started at this, we'll see what to talk to the principal about seeing if we could

451
00:43:13,180 --> 00:43:17,680
put her in a different schooling situation where we could service her better in a homeschool

452
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:23,120
actual situation. One of them is it would be fine because she doesn't do anything but the other one

453
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:29,980
is a student athlete. And so in order for her to still participate in her athletic program,

454
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:39,980
she has to attend school in the back of ill district for lack of a better term. So what we really

455
00:43:39,980 --> 00:43:45,740
like is for you guys to address that issue, could we be offered other options because I we feel like

456
00:43:45,740 --> 00:43:51,220
We could serve a serve in a different situation, but still for her to be allowed to participate in sports.

457
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,820
Thank you.

458
00:43:53,140 --> 00:43:53,700
Thank you, Mickey.

459
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,280
Last on the least, Magella.

460
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:07,570
Good evening, Magella.

461
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:08,170
Are you there?

462
00:44:09,010 --> 00:44:09,270
Yes.

463
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:10,050
Can you hear me?

464
00:44:10,190 --> 00:44:11,010
Yes, we can.

465
00:44:11,050 --> 00:44:11,650
Go ahead.

466
00:44:13,230 --> 00:44:21,130
So I'm a mom of special needs children and in order for my child's ITP to be implemented, she has social

467
00:44:21,130 --> 00:44:21,830
skills.

468
00:44:21,830 --> 00:44:31,740
So she goes in social schools and if she is not in with her peers, how can she work on these goals and she's the same well

469
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:41,940
She's not even a senior. Now, but she like she doesn't have too much longer and we need this time like all our kids that have social needs

470
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:43,600
anxiety

471
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,080
and

472
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,700
speech, OT

473
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:50,360
like we she's never been told a system technology

474
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:57,640
So Zoom, these classes, she never received any since March, we got packets, she's had no instructions since March.

475
00:44:59,240 --> 00:44:59,980
And we're gonna hope...

476
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,180
I hope that our kids come out in the next year or two and have jobs when they have had no education.

477
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,180
Because the packets aren't working either. I'm not a teacher. I've never claimed to be.

478
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:18,040
It's a really hard job. And like this COVID has been really hard on every family. I'm fully aware that.

479
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:26,700
I mean, nobody saw this coming. So it was a shock. So when your kids with special needs, though, they need transition. They had no transition.

480
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:33,200
our whole world has turned upside down and we can't give them any kind of little avenue to say

481
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:39,240
oh maybe next week or maybe in a month's time you know you can go to school or you can

482
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:43,800
receive speech or you can whatever we had zoom on speech sorry that was really good

483
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,180
and we said counseling which was good but for the actual instruction she said none

484
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:54,880
because I'm going to say I'm not a teacher and to see what she can do has been heartbreaking

485
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,180
Sorry about my dog.

486
00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:07,540
And so I just think for kids with special needs, they really need to consider, especially in the IEP goals. A lot of back is at social. I'm really sorry about my dog.

487
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:22,720
They need that interaction and they need that instruction. They need that one on one instruction. And we have the face shields. If we can't wear the mask, maybe the face shields.

488
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:28,200
Okay, Ms. Magellan, sorry, your time is up, you're, uh, your dog goes to you two seconds.

489
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,840
Okay, thank you very much.

490
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,400
And that's all the speakers that we have.

491
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:41,620
So we will move on to action items six A reopening of schools discussion.

492
00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:44,980
And I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Jane.

493
00:46:46,420 --> 00:46:49,460
All yours. Good evening. Yeah. Thank you. Yep.

494
00:46:49,460 --> 00:46:56,520
you want to pull up Brandon's going to pull up the I am going to present on

495
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:03,240
at the last board meeting we talked about the parent survey results and you

496
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:10,300
us about a second teacher survey which we did about a week two weeks ago and I

497
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:14,940
have this the results of the teacher and certificated staff survey which I will

498
00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:22,120
share with you. I just want to send a little appreciation to Brenda Hensley, the Faculty of

499
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:29,060
Teachers Association, share a person for negotiations. She actually saw the board meeting

500
00:47:29,060 --> 00:47:33,460
two weeks ago Thursday night and saw that you asked for another teacher survey. She spent

501
00:47:33,460 --> 00:47:39,540
some time working on it. And I added a couple of questions. So I just wanted to show my appreciation

502
00:47:39,540 --> 00:47:42,100
to Brenda and Todd for helping us with that.

503
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:52,060
So before we get going, just to ask the board to hold your questions until Dr. Jane is done and Ed is done. Correct. If so, if you could.

504
00:47:52,060 --> 00:47:52,220
Thank you.

505
00:47:52,220 --> 00:47:53,420
If you could write it down.

506
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:53,920
Yes.

507
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,440
Associates would have it at Santa Paltre.

508
00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:57,560
It's going to present on.

509
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:58,460
Perfect.

510
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,020
So if we would be so kind that would be great.

511
00:48:04,050 --> 00:48:10,070
So it says here we had about 355 responses out of 600 approximately.

512
00:48:10,070 --> 00:48:14,630
way, we actually have, where's Kelly 661? Is that the numbers?

513
00:48:20,430 --> 00:48:22,750
Okay, so it's, so it's, as

514
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:28,130
Tom mentioned, it's, we have actually, it's about, so we have about 50% response, the

515
00:48:28,130 --> 00:48:35,610
600th wrong, it should be more like 700. So this just tells you who the respondents were

516
00:48:35,610 --> 00:48:42,890
about 80% are just general education teachers, classroom teachers, and 9.3 special

517
00:48:42,890 --> 00:48:46,590
and then you see all the small numbers that are various other

518
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,130
certitificated staff.

519
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,600
This shows the percentages, the of grade levels, the total

520
00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:00,760
percentage, so kindergarten represents 15% of those that took the survey, if

521
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,660
you notice that percentages don't add up for high school because high school

522
00:49:04,660 --> 00:49:11,560
teachers teach more than one grade level, but it's pretty evenly spread. So the

523
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,620
first question was, what safety measures do you think are important for reopening

524
00:49:15,620 --> 00:49:24,820
schools, the top three in the 80% percentages or hand sanitizer, hand washing stations available

525
00:49:24,820 --> 00:49:30,360
and proper air flow. And these are, of course, details were working on our maintenance

526
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:36,320
is working on their important, uh, so obviously. The next three are sanitizing, commonly used

527
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:42,240
surfaces daily, sanitizing, commonly used surfaces more than once a day, and face coverings

528
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:45,660
for staff, those all around the 70 percentages.

529
00:49:47,260 --> 00:49:50,900
Then 66% said face coverings for students,

530
00:49:51,620 --> 00:49:54,460
65 said the physical distancing of six feet,

531
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:57,260
and 62.3 keeping students

532
00:49:57,260 --> 00:49:59,080
and limited cohorts through the week.

533
00:49:59,660 --> 00:49:59,980
And then you can...

534
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,460
Let's see the lower numbers, 45 percent, gloves for staff.

535
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:13,520
These were some other comments that were written in. They had the opportunity to write in on the survey,

536
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:19,600
so it's set on the survey point 3 percent. It's 0.3 percent, less than 1 percent. They were probably

537
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:26,820
one or two comments. Additional staff, air flow, temperature checks, quorocks, wipes,

538
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:31,680
and

539
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,520
various additional comments that certificates staff added.

540
00:50:38,090 --> 00:50:42,750
So, as school was to start next week, choose the path that represents the most important

541
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:45,830
in-person contact with students that you feel safe with.

542
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:57,230
So as you can see, full school is normal, about 17%, 35.8% the 50% model, then the other

543
00:50:57,230 --> 00:51:02,190
two were 25 and 22, which was the hybrid at 25 and then full distance learning.

544
00:51:02,190 --> 00:51:08,970
I put in front of all of you the hard copy of the parent survey that I presented previously.

545
00:51:09,950 --> 00:51:13,750
Just to, they had similar questions just to compare.

546
00:51:14,670 --> 00:51:17,050
I'm looking at slide four in the copy I gave you.

547
00:51:17,530 --> 00:51:23,010
The question then was under current levels of COVID in Solano County, which learning environment would you choose.

548
00:51:23,410 --> 00:51:24,950
And this was in the parent survey.

549
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:47,010
We have 53.1% say full time 11.8 say continue remote learning 20% chose the two days a week with three days remote and 16.8 shows elementary of 5 days per week a 30 to 12 30 and secondary four days.

550
00:51:47,830 --> 00:51:50,390
And then 14% said it's too early to determine.

551
00:51:50,390 --> 00:52:03,890
The other question, and I'm just sharing these because they're kind of related to this one from the teachers, was if we started school with all students full time with no social distancing but with precautions in place, what would you choose?

552
00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:09,550
59.7 of the parents said that come back to school with all students.

553
00:52:09,550 --> 00:52:17,830
20% said virtual learning, 18% said it's too early to determine and 7.8 said neither choice

554
00:52:17,830 --> 00:52:26,030
is acceptable. And lastly, we're actually going to give you two more that I went over

555
00:52:26,030 --> 00:52:31,030
previously to ensure social distancing and back to open school with your child attending

556
00:52:31,030 --> 00:52:33,770
in two days per week, what would you choose?

557
00:52:34,210 --> 00:52:38,470
And 48% said they would come back to school.

558
00:52:40,130 --> 00:52:43,290
11.2, sorry, I don't have a colored copy.

559
00:52:43,630 --> 00:52:47,190
30.2 said neither choice is acceptable.

560
00:52:48,770 --> 00:52:51,570
And 9.8 said it's too early to determine

561
00:52:51,570 --> 00:52:54,270
and then 11% so remote learning.

562
00:52:55,170 --> 00:52:59,030
And the last one in comparison to this slide on the screen

563
00:52:59,030 --> 00:53:04,710
was asking if we opened with elementary at five days per week, 830 to 1230 in high school

564
00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:12,330
four days, all day, no social distancing. What would you choose? 53.4 said they would come back

565
00:53:12,330 --> 00:53:19,930
under those circumstances. 16% said remote learning, 11 said it's 208 to determine and 18

566
00:53:19,930 --> 00:53:25,710
set-emot comfortable with either choice. So you have those in front of those compared to these.

567
00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:32,110
Next question, how likely would you be to go out on unpaid leave if the option was available?

568
00:53:32,530 --> 00:53:38,050
This has come up at times, so we wanted to get an idea of how many teachers were feeling,

569
00:53:38,370 --> 00:53:40,990
a little nervous about coming back in with going unpaid leave.

570
00:53:41,610 --> 00:53:48,710
So, very likely was only 2%, and then the next level up from that was 3.7%, but not likely 75%.

571
00:53:49,710 --> 00:53:54,630
Under what circumstances would you consider taking the year of unpaid leave?

572
00:53:54,630 --> 00:53:58,890
So 75% said they cannot do it.

573
00:54:00,170 --> 00:54:07,710
Almost 20%, 19.8% said if we came back full time, they might consider and then you can

574
00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:11,730
see the other numbers for the other models there.

575
00:54:14,830 --> 00:54:19,670
And then this way we do want to know and we're continuing to work on this to find individual

576
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:25,070
teachers that are interested in the full distance model for the parents that choose it.

577
00:54:25,070 --> 00:54:30,830
And that was the question was, would you be interested in teaching full distance learning?

578
00:54:31,610 --> 00:54:39,670
And we had 18.3 very likely then an additional 12.1% the next level of likelihood was a total

579
00:54:39,670 --> 00:54:40,530
of 30%.

580
00:54:40,530 --> 00:54:46,930
So this does tell us that we have a number of teachers that that might want to, or are interested

581
00:54:46,930 --> 00:54:48,310
in distance learning.

582
00:54:49,810 --> 00:54:54,690
I want to share a couple other things before I ask Mr. Santa Padre to come up here.

583
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:57,490
First of all, I saw all the comments.

584
00:54:58,530 --> 00:54:59,970
I sent 32 pages of...

585
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,060
Comments from teachers to all of you. And a lot of more questions about what are we going to do? They mentioned

586
00:55:08,060 --> 00:55:15,060
h-fac, air flow, sanitizing, what's the protocol when a teacher student gets sick? What's a cleaning schedule?

587
00:55:15,460 --> 00:55:24,080
What about substitutes and the type of remote learning and Fridays off versus Wednesday and what they're going to do about their personal trial care?

588
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:28,980
A lot of the details of people are asking questions about we're working on them.

589
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:35,500
We need to first decide what model we're going to adopt as a district and then work of the details.

590
00:55:36,540 --> 00:55:42,960
We have maintenance here that could speak to any questions because he's working on a staggered plan for custodians and sanitizing.

591
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,840
And we don't have a shortage of custodians.

592
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:51,140
We are able to do that and Dan is working on a plan for that.

593
00:55:51,140 --> 00:56:07,560
I also wanted to share with you real quick some information about districts, you know, we talked, we talked to each other, we read articles, so I've been collecting information over the past couple days of the districts, the different districts and what model.

594
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:13,100
Now, a lot of districts haven't decided, but in Solano County, Travis most likely will start

595
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:19,360
at 50%. Fairfield is still planning on 100% unless something changes.

596
00:56:20,060 --> 00:56:28,960
But Nisha is likely going to start at 50% with the elementary model A and P.M., and Valeo

597
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:34,100
was considering 100%, but they haven't made a decision, and as you might know, they're

598
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:37,980
to work somewhere else, so I don't know what's going on there.

599
00:56:38,340 --> 00:56:42,240
Dixon is going to the board on July 16th and they're probably going to look

600
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,060
at a hybrid type model as well.

601
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,020
I also looked into some Sacramento area districts.

602
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:54,320
I'll grow Folsom Cordova twin rivers are all doing the 50% model.

603
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,240
But guy school district in Sacramento County is an elementary school district.

604
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:03,500
but they are returning full time with a distance learning option.

605
00:57:04,140 --> 00:57:08,360
Sam won, Unified Sex City have not made a decision yet,

606
00:57:08,380 --> 00:57:11,000
and Natomas is working on three models,

607
00:57:12,380 --> 00:57:14,480
traditional independent study hybrid,

608
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,320
and, but they said they're still trying to develop this

609
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,720
and hasn't been negotiated yet with their bargaining unit.

610
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,460
In Yolo County, Davis has not decided,

611
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,900
they are going between distance learning

612
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:34,500
and talking about a hybrid model, but you know, struggling like all of us with the decision.

613
00:57:35,780 --> 00:57:41,500
Washington School District working on multiple blended learning models, woodland considering 50%

614
00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:48,460
for elementary, when they two say Thursday, Friday, and secondary, full virtual academy.

615
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:54,800
And I had a couple from Country Costa, Mount Diablo has decided on the 50% model.

616
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,820
And Brentwood School District in Alquay,

617
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:58,900
Altonese Contra Costa,

618
00:57:59,140 --> 00:58:01,740
have both decided to do full distance learning,

619
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,560
liberty, high school district, 50%

620
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,660
and Annie at considering a hybrid.

621
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:11,320
I was a little surprised at the number of districts

622
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,360
that haven't made a decision yet,

623
00:58:13,540 --> 00:58:15,900
or still struggling, which is completely understandable.

624
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,000
So we're bringing to you,

625
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,400
it's similar to then the original 50% we brought to you.

626
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,940
We've made some changes to the elementary

627
00:58:23,940 --> 00:58:30,540
for the AMPM daily and Mr. Sandpodry is going to talk about that and also talk about what

628
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:34,300
they call the quasi-master model for high school that we're proposing.

629
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,720
Good timing.

630
00:58:39,820 --> 00:58:40,220
Good timing.

631
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,860
Good evening, President Janssen Board.

632
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:51,540
Members Superintendent Chimea, I decided tonight to try the shield.

633
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,920
We took a little criticism last time for coming up here and speaking without keeping

634
00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,980
our masks on and so I thought I would try this and I tried it the other day and it's

635
00:59:00,980 --> 00:59:06,060
pretty comfortable feels like I'm a hat on. So I'm sure it looks wonderful as well.

636
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:07,500
I saw that look.

637
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:17,540
Yeah, that's fair. I can live with that. So I'm going to present

638
00:59:17,540 --> 00:59:24,220
a plan tonight for your consideration. I do want to spend a minute and talk about the

639
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:29,420
information that we've been gathering. There's been a large committee that has worked on this

640
00:59:29,420 --> 00:59:34,040
of teachers, of administrators, of district office people, classified personnel.

641
00:59:34,540 --> 00:59:40,220
I would like to thank that committee for putting in, and then there were subcommittees that went off of that.

642
00:59:40,780 --> 00:59:46,380
The VTA leadership taught in Brenda have been super to work with as we work through these things.

643
00:59:46,740 --> 00:59:52,300
We've looked at all the surveys, all of the comments from parents, from teachers, from classified staff,

644
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:59,980
lots of emails, lots of feedback. The board workshop was super helpful. You know, we had the attorney.

645
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:11,120
Here, giving us information, we have the doctor here, and then all of your feedback over the last few meetings, we've been listening to and trying to work it into a plan, into a plan that can be flexible.

646
01:00:11,940 --> 01:00:26,940
The plan has changed over time, and it is not the same one we thought when we started. So I'm getting into the plan in just a second, but if you could give me one minute, just not to talk from the team standpoint, but this is from my standpoint, just me personally.

647
01:00:26,940 --> 01:00:43,700
I have to tell you, from the moment we started thinking about closing school in March, to through the distance learning, through graduation, and now through the reopening plan, this is the most difficult thing I've ever worked in my career.

648
01:00:44,260 --> 01:00:47,940
I've been doing this a while. There's a lot of reasons for that.

649
01:00:47,940 --> 01:00:51,240
One, as you hear, there are no grading answers, right?

650
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:54,380
We're not, we're not hiding the grade answer for some other time.

651
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,380
There, there are just no grade answers to this, and we're just going to do our best to make

652
01:00:59,380 --> 01:01:00,260
and work for kids.

653
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:09,440
There are many different opinions, and they're all valid, and everybody's right, and so that

654
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:10,340
makes it tricky.

655
01:01:11,020 --> 01:01:16,780
There's not only no clear guidance, but there's often conflicting guidance, and it sometimes

656
01:01:16,780 --> 01:01:24,680
changes mid-stream. And so that makes it difficult. And for me, most importantly, there's no

657
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,040
bag of experience that we can reach into and pull out. You know, when we have budget crisis,

658
01:01:30,300 --> 01:01:35,600
we go and say, hey, what did we do at 08? No, 9. And what worked and what didn't. There's no

659
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:42,860
no bag here. And so no board policy, no thing to go back on. We just start using our instincts.

660
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:46,040
we're listening to people and we're trying to do the best we can.

661
01:01:47,460 --> 01:01:50,460
And this really goes against our nature by nature.

662
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,120
We want to include people. We want to have bigger. We want to have more.

663
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:59,580
We want to have everybody. And so this is really hard on us personally.

664
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,000
So I'd just ask for a little patience with us as we do this and a little grace

665
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,380
and we will try and keep the plan as flexible as we can.

666
01:02:07,940 --> 01:02:11,820
And that's what we've created for you tonight is a plan that we think can move

667
01:02:11,820 --> 01:02:20,760
up and down as we need to move and I'll go through it now. So as we listen to

668
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,500
different things there's both sides of this this ledger and certainly safety

669
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:30,700
is important we want our staff students and community to be safe and you know the

670
01:02:30,700 --> 01:02:35,380
lawyer talked about the liability meter and that was very interesting for me to

671
01:02:35,380 --> 01:02:41,560
hear and that's that's awesome we need to we need to be safe about those things but

672
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:48,420
We also have an awesome responsibility to teach our kids and we know that and so that really

673
01:02:48,420 --> 01:02:56,140
is on the other side of that and again we know the economy doesn't really open if we're

674
01:02:56,140 --> 01:03:00,500
not helping with that last part so people can go to work and we heard some of that tonight.

675
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,680
So this is the balancing act we're trying to work on and it's not easy.

676
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,040
So I'll go through the plans.

677
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:12,680
You've seen most of these so I'm going to really not just go over it and over and over again.

678
01:03:12,980 --> 01:03:24,620
You know most of it, I'll tell you the changes and I'm going to really stay on stage three because again that's where we're suggesting at this moment to open and that is 50% of the students at one time.

679
01:03:24,940 --> 01:03:30,680
And so that's the one, but you can see we can go back and forth from two to four and and do all that.

680
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:59,140
So Elementary did change over over the course of this discussion and we think for the students learning a hybrid model of a morning and afternoon group will be important and having 830 to 11-ish with the various start times of schools and afternoon session four days a week for students and we'll talk about why and you can see two and four or more or less.

681
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,780
And this allows for the distance thing

682
01:04:02,780 --> 01:04:05,740
because only half the students are on campus at any point.

683
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,020
Now, I'm going to just say a general statement

684
01:04:10,020 --> 01:04:11,280
about special education.

685
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,620
We have these slides following each.

686
01:04:13,740 --> 01:04:15,860
And then if there are specific questions,

687
01:04:16,100 --> 01:04:18,960
such a big help be happy to help me answer them.

688
01:04:19,340 --> 01:04:21,980
But really, special ed will start

689
01:04:21,980 --> 01:04:25,700
and get at least the same amount of time as general ed.

690
01:04:26,260 --> 01:04:28,860
And then in most cases, in many cases,

691
01:04:28,860 --> 01:04:31,080
because of the smaller size of the classes,

692
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,620
they can maybe move forward faster.

693
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,820
So when we say at a high school level two days,

694
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,460
they may be able to get four days.

695
01:04:39,180 --> 01:04:44,620
And so just now they will get at least as much as general ed.

696
01:04:44,940 --> 01:04:46,840
And again, depending on the size of the class

697
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,160
and the classroom and the setup,

698
01:04:48,580 --> 01:04:50,900
we're hoping to even do more, right?

699
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:52,120
OK.

700
01:04:53,500 --> 01:04:56,220
So this is the special ed elementary.

701
01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:58,360
And again, you see in stage two,

702
01:04:58,360 --> 01:04:59,960
Thanks to all our getting four days a week.

703
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:13,280
So, really, the elementary summary is to have 50% of the students in class at any one time, so we can keep the distance.

704
01:05:14,340 --> 01:05:22,560
TK-36 is on the same schedule. We had talked about maybe TK-3 being on one and four through six being on another.

705
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:30,780
Again, we've heard that the educational, we know that the educational foundation building requires

706
01:05:30,780 --> 01:05:31,880
more face-to-face.

707
01:05:32,140 --> 01:05:37,020
So the elementary students who are learning skills need more face-to-face, maybe then a

708
01:05:37,020 --> 01:05:43,360
high school student who are learning current and last, again, we're going to talk more about

709
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:50,020
the child care in a bit, but this is at least more days and doesn't solve that, but it's

710
01:05:50,020 --> 01:05:50,960
part of it.

711
01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:56,720
It's not going to go to high school, and that is the plan where we have where they go

712
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:05,960
two days a week, two, three classes for a 90-minute block period in each, and really

713
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:10,840
that's the quasi-master we talked about, and really it's a college model, and the quasi-master

714
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:16,380
is a 9-week quarter where they take three classes, they get to focus on three classes,

715
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,800
because one of the things we heard in distance learning, and we learned a lot in distance

716
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:26,720
learning, by the way, one of the things we heard is that it's really tough to manage six things at a time.

717
01:06:27,100 --> 01:06:33,260
And so we're saying this gets more time in front of the teacher with three full hours for each class per week,

718
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,900
and then distance learning the rest of the time.

719
01:06:38,020 --> 01:06:41,140
And then, at the quarter, they switched to the other three classes.

720
01:06:41,900 --> 01:06:46,700
Now, the downside of this one was we were going to have to stick with it into the semester,

721
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:51,760
and if something happened where we went really down in cases, we now have a way to sort of bring

722
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:58,760
them all back if that comes up. So that was a positive that we came up with. Again with the

723
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:05,060
high school, the special ed, as you see, it's four days of classes for the smaller classes,

724
01:07:05,340 --> 01:07:10,460
so those students can get more support because we do know and we agree that the distance learning

725
01:07:10,460 --> 01:07:16,480
is trickier. And here's what a high school schedule might look like and we just broke it up

726
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:22,420
by alphabet with the students doing the first third fifth period on Monday and Tuesday,

727
01:07:22,940 --> 01:07:29,440
and then the same thing on Thursday and Friday for this for the other group. And again,

728
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,940
what we have is everybody's taking their first third and fifth period. So things go to stage four,

729
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,940
then we can bring them all together and they can all be there for four days a week.

730
01:07:38,940 --> 01:07:44,680
So, um, so that was one of the one of the changes we made that we think is positive.

731
01:07:45,860 --> 01:07:53,160
And again, for the high school plan, really it's only 50% of the students at one time are in a class,

732
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:59,620
so that can keep them distant. Um, they're not having their second fourth, fifth period,

733
01:07:59,620 --> 01:08:04,020
second fourth, sixth period students at the same time that they are the first, third and fifth.

734
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:08,360
It is a college academic model where you go a couple days a week, you learn some things,

735
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,800
you go work on your own, you work with the teacher,

736
01:08:13,020 --> 01:08:16,660
and what I focus on is at the end of

737
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:20,440
this semester, after they've done all of the three, the first nine weeks and then the three,

738
01:08:20,540 --> 01:08:25,100
the second nine weeks, is that they have a transcript that still is whole, and they have all six

739
01:08:25,100 --> 01:08:30,960
of their classes that they would have had if it's not had occurred. And, you know, I will always

740
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:32,720
worrying about the high school transcript,

741
01:08:32,740 --> 01:08:36,880
and I think this is a way to keep that whole.

742
01:08:37,740 --> 01:08:39,120
And then middle school.

743
01:08:40,940 --> 01:08:43,520
Really, the plan looks a lot like the high school plan,

744
01:08:43,740 --> 01:08:44,900
but you heard it the last meeting

745
01:08:44,900 --> 01:08:49,900
that there was really some concern from the middle school staff

746
01:08:49,900 --> 01:08:53,940
and rightfully so that maybe they didn't really get a chance

747
01:08:53,940 --> 01:08:56,600
to be as involved in this as we would have liked.

748
01:08:56,820 --> 01:08:57,560
So we did that.

749
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:59,600
Ryan Gallus, our former directors,

750
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:05,580
pulled together a group and there were 26 people, teachers, administrators, and they had a couple

751
01:09:05,580 --> 01:09:10,440
of really long Zoom calls to work through the middle school special issues, the things

752
01:09:10,440 --> 01:09:15,560
that are really specific to middle school. And they've worked through it and they did a great

753
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:20,580
job, and they ultimately came up with the plan that looks a lot like the high school plan,

754
01:09:20,820 --> 01:09:26,640
but it was great to get 26 thumbs up at the end of that and some nice emails after to say

755
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,460
that they were pleased that they got to talk about it

756
01:09:29,460 --> 01:09:30,600
and be involved in it.

757
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,280
So again, there's will look very much like the high school.

758
01:09:35,700 --> 01:09:37,420
Again, middle school, same thing,

759
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,920
a little bit more when we can.

760
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,380
And the schedule looks very similar

761
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:49,020
and the results look very similar.

762
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,620
Again, for a student to not have to manage six classes

763
01:09:55,540 --> 01:09:56,640
is important.

764
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,980
So, we're going to talk.

765
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,680
We're going to talk about state care. Oh, no, I forgot.

766
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,860
We're going to talk about the Vackival Virtual Learning Academy.

767
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:11,960
So for the people who choose to be not in the school at all who want to go full-time distance learning,

768
01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:14,060
we have a plan to that.

769
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,980
And it's the Vackival Learning Academy.

770
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,320
And it is, again, significant.

771
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,580
We've learned a lot from distance learning.

772
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,260
We've learned a lot from our traditional independent study.

773
01:10:24,940 --> 01:10:28,540
And this is going to be a really nice,

774
01:10:28,540 --> 01:10:33,280
option for students. They're going to have a virtual classroom so they're going to be

775
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:37,860
part of a community group. There's going to be video lessons, virtual field trips. They're

776
01:10:37,860 --> 01:10:45,120
going to meet with the teacher regularly through technology and we're excited about it. We're

777
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:51,820
excited about the teachers who want to do it and we think this is a great thing for our students.

778
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:58,500
Again, and we're starting to figure out which of the platforms work so we don't have 14

779
01:10:58,500 --> 01:11:02,520
different ones and some of the things we heard about that start figuring out and

780
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,680
so everybody's doing the same things that's all part of how we're designing

781
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:07,500
this

782
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:14,160
and so what we'll do after the board decides on a plan because we've heard

783
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:18,560
from people depending on what the plan is will depend on who wants to do this

784
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,760
and we're not going to send out a survey about virtual learning we're going to

785
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,660
send out an enrollment packet and we're just going to let people know if you want

786
01:11:25,660 --> 01:11:29,520
to do this sign up and then we'll then we'll know how many students we have who

787
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:37,060
do this and this this is K through six okay so this is K through six so you see how

788
01:11:37,060 --> 01:11:41,100
many want to sign up and then we'll know how many teachers we need to assign to that for

789
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:47,800
7 through 12 we already have that option with Kimmy and to answer maybe one of the questions I

790
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,820
heard on the thing about athletics if the student goes to Kimmy they can still participate

791
01:11:53,660 --> 01:11:58,880
in athletics through their home school and if they are not in our district then because of

792
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:04,840
it rules they cannot. So that sort of answers that. But so we'll start working with HR once

793
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:12,140
we get this and then we don't want this to be a short term independent study option because this

794
01:12:12,140 --> 01:12:16,320
is a lot of work and we don't want people in and out but we're not asking for a year commitment

795
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:21,860
we're saying if you can hang in there for a quarter see if it's working for you and then if things

796
01:12:21,860 --> 01:12:27,220
change or if you decide you want to jump back in or jump back out, we can do that.

797
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:38,120
So, child care, I'm going to have our director or mayor of Barron come up and just a second to talk about it, but I do want to say this.

798
01:12:38,380 --> 01:12:41,780
I'm really, as always, proud to be part of Akadil.

799
01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:48,560
Because this community is amazing, and when we have issues, this community always steps up for our students.

800
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:56,720
And I think this is just a great example of seeing how quickly and how easily our community partners step up.

801
01:12:57,740 --> 01:13:03,780
So, you know, I think we can pull some things off and back of all that maybe some other communities can.

802
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:07,700
So, Mr. Barron, we'll talk to you about child care and after school life.

803
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,920
Thank you, Mr. Sanapajri. Good evening, Board.

804
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:20,940
So our committee was really in charge of putting together the different resources and options

805
01:13:20,940 --> 01:13:26,380
within our community that can support our families and primarily our students with childhood needs.

806
01:13:26,620 --> 01:13:32,360
And so I want to start by commanding the people that work with me, my committee members primarily.

807
01:13:32,660 --> 01:13:38,960
I also want to thank the four entities that I'm going to be sharing with you what they provide for the support and just

808
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:44,360
being open-minded and like Mrs. Hanapagri said, really working about what's best for our community.

809
01:13:44,620 --> 01:13:49,300
They released that up. Mrs. Eden and Eden is here actually with us today. So thank you Anna,

810
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:56,940
very busy. I didn't go as close club. So we met, we talked and we developed some options for

811
01:13:56,940 --> 01:14:02,600
our community. The first one was the city of Akable through the TGIF program. They serve students

812
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:07,560
between kindergarten and sixth grade. They have five locations where they serve students.

813
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:14,700
There are hours from 6.15 am to 6 pm, and they have a capacity anywhere from 30 to 50 students per site.

814
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:19,860
So anywhere from 150 to 200 students to be able to serve.

815
01:14:19,940 --> 01:14:27,440
There is a cost for that. There's an annual fee as well as a monthly fee that is accrued into the equation.

816
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,280
However, there are opportunities for waivers, scholarships that are available for families.

817
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:37,920
The second one is the 11-project, the 11-project serves TK-26 craters.

818
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,900
They are located at four centers, all within reach of some of our elementary schools.

819
01:14:44,300 --> 01:14:48,640
They offer after school tutoring from 90 to 120 minutes per day.

820
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:56,060
They are open on our school days, and they serve anywhere from 25 to 30 kids per center, and

821
01:14:56,060 --> 01:14:58,080
the cost is free for that service.

822
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,960
We have back-to-do.

823
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,140
Imagine that, who's one of the new players that came across, I'm very thankful that they wanted to be part of this process.

824
01:15:06,620 --> 01:15:14,100
They are thinking that they can serve kidney gardens to six-ray students. They can serve students, approximately up to 44 of them.

825
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:24,760
They're located at the Alamo Plaza, and they're ours pretty flexible. They have a lot of support, and they're willing to work with students right after school all the way to six p.m.

826
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:31,300
There is a cost of $2 per day, but, again, parents can qualify for waivers and scholarships.

827
01:15:32,020 --> 01:15:38,820
And then last but not least, our vacuable boys and girls club, through the ACEs program, which is located for elementary sites.

828
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:46,560
They also run a program at Jefferson and Vacopenia, and they have two centers on top of that.

829
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:57,220
A total of 350 students usually have the resource of daycare and they are available after school until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

830
01:15:57,660 --> 01:16:04,820
There is a cost for the Boys and Girls Club, however for ACEs, it has been a free service for all students who are attending those four sites.

831
01:16:07,650 --> 01:16:11,510
So we know that there still needs and obviously we have to address those.

832
01:16:11,590 --> 01:16:15,570
First one is transportation. How do we transport students to programs and for our programs?

833
01:16:15,570 --> 01:16:45,370
So that is something that we're going to be working with in our district and also seeing what other options outside of our district are there for our students to have that safety component facility usage we know that if we are going to keep our racial swim minimum we have to expand our facilities that possibly more classrooms being available at the school sites at your school for students to be able to minimize the students of staff racial as a result of that funding how do we support some of that

834
01:16:45,370 --> 01:16:48,590
especially with circumstances with some of our families.

835
01:16:49,250 --> 01:16:50,650
So we'll have to put our heads together

836
01:16:50,650 --> 01:16:52,870
and try to come up with some ways to fund that.

837
01:16:53,150 --> 01:16:57,270
And again, staffing, what do we find adults,

838
01:16:58,270 --> 01:17:00,210
maybe former students who are willing to participate

839
01:17:00,210 --> 01:17:02,650
in the process of providing some of that service?

840
01:17:03,610 --> 01:17:05,890
We are thinking that because some colleges

841
01:17:05,890 --> 01:17:07,030
are might be going online.

842
01:17:07,210 --> 01:17:08,890
There might be an opportunity to have more students

843
01:17:08,890 --> 01:17:12,710
in our town who will be available to maybe support us with that.

844
01:17:12,710 --> 01:17:14,970
obviously you could compensate it in the process.

845
01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:17,270
Next steps.

846
01:17:17,550 --> 01:17:18,310
We're meeting tomorrow.

847
01:17:19,030 --> 01:17:21,610
We are desperate to find out what the direction is,

848
01:17:21,750 --> 01:17:25,430
so that we can start putting really all of our eggs in the basket

849
01:17:25,430 --> 01:17:28,070
and start working on a plan that can help support a community.

850
01:17:28,850 --> 01:17:31,790
We also want to create a brochure and a pamphlet that's going to be

851
01:17:31,790 --> 01:17:34,450
shared out through different means, Facebook,

852
01:17:35,450 --> 01:17:39,310
the website for our families to know where they can tap into these resources.

853
01:17:39,310 --> 01:17:46,690
And then obviously communicate with community on how to go ahead and register for these programs as we go to this process.

854
01:17:47,450 --> 01:17:48,570
Thank you.

855
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:56,780
So that is the plan we're putting forth for your consideration tonight.

856
01:17:57,460 --> 01:17:59,980
All of Cabinet and I repeat that it's not just me.

857
01:18:00,260 --> 01:18:05,620
All Cabinet is here to answer whatever questions you might have from us or if this will take the discussion.

858
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:06,820
Thank you.

859
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,160
Okay.

860
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:12,520
Or members questions?

861
01:18:17,430 --> 01:18:17,930
Mr. Windham.

862
01:18:19,030 --> 01:18:19,230
Okay.

863
01:18:20,210 --> 01:18:28,470
First of all, I want to say thank you for putting this together because I know that it's been mentioned earlier tonight that there is no win in this for anybody.

864
01:18:28,930 --> 01:18:36,330
I mean, there's always going to be somebody who is, you know, who's not getting what they believe is the right direction.

865
01:18:38,430 --> 01:18:49,050
So I would do appreciate everything together, but I do have some questions about it and some of these I realize that you may not be able to answer because they may not have answers, but I think it's just important for consideration.

866
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:56,100
Let me just start with this, is it fair to say, I mean, we're talking about reduced instruction

867
01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:56,980
time, right?

868
01:18:57,140 --> 01:19:01,360
I mean, at the end of the day, we're talking about a hybrid model, but there's going to be

869
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,540
less instruction time than students would have gotten in a five-day, correct?

870
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:06,340
Let's direct.

871
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:13,840
I mean, do we have any idea, I mean, based on, again, I realize this is one of those questions.

872
01:19:14,260 --> 01:19:17,580
There's no, there's no, there's no need of data that you can go to, but we have any idea

873
01:19:17,580 --> 01:19:22,440
I mean, what impact is that going to have because, you know, we look at the data, right?

874
01:19:22,860 --> 01:19:28,880
And that, well, let me back, we talked to the experts, at least I think it was, I'll say,

875
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:33,060
Dr. M, because I was good as a name on the county public health doctor.

876
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:39,100
And he mentioned that, you know, a year to two years is very possible of this thing going forward.

877
01:19:39,140 --> 01:19:42,340
So whatever we do, we potentially may have to do this for a couple of years, right?

878
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:47,560
So what impact do you think that's going to have on that reduced learning time on students?

879
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:52,960
So, so I can't put a can't quantify it, but here's what I would say.

880
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:58,460
What our job is, whatever the plan we read to, we have to maximize that time.

881
01:19:58,900 --> 01:19:59,980
So, so...

882
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:11,800
When we think about our teachers in front of our students, our elementary teachers, our secondary teachers, just have to find ways to maximize that time and then build on that for the distance learning point to minimize that.

883
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:18,880
Because we looked at our things we were worried about educating the child and not having those is a big one.

884
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:24,980
So our teams are working on that and so I can't point off my doubt, of course.

885
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:34,320
So, if let's just say hypothetically speaking, which I think is a reasonable assumption, that we have to do this for a year for this entire school year.

886
01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:37,740
I mean, I think there's a lot of experts to say that's very likely, right?

887
01:20:37,980 --> 01:20:42,620
If we're going to whatever model we choose, it's going to be something less than stage four.

888
01:20:42,660 --> 01:20:44,900
So let's say we have stage three for a year.

889
01:20:46,300 --> 01:20:51,840
After that point, I mean, how do we start to rebuild educationally?

890
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,580
because, you know, we talked a lot about over the years,

891
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,920
we were always here a lot about the achievement gap.

892
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,780
And that focuses on certain students.

893
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,540
But now, I think we're looking at potentially an educational gap

894
01:21:04,540 --> 01:21:06,820
that's going to be across an entire generation of students

895
01:21:06,820 --> 01:21:09,900
that have received a reduction in education

896
01:21:09,900 --> 01:21:13,020
through no fall to their own and no fall to staffs.

897
01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:15,800
If this goes on for a year, I mean, what kind of things

898
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:16,620
do we look at it?

899
01:21:16,620 --> 01:21:18,100
Again, it might be a question you can't answer,

900
01:21:18,100 --> 01:21:25,480
But I'm just trying to think of, it increases, it seems to me that if a year of this type

901
01:21:25,480 --> 01:21:30,560
of plan were building on the learning loss and I'm just thinking a year down the line,

902
01:21:30,700 --> 01:21:31,220
then what?

903
01:21:31,500 --> 01:21:32,320
I mean, where are we at?

904
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,080
So, yeah, and I don't, I don't have a crystal ball.

905
01:21:36,420 --> 01:21:41,420
When students come back this fall, we need to see what were some of the impacts of what

906
01:21:41,420 --> 01:21:42,340
happened last spring.

907
01:21:42,340 --> 01:21:49,760
And I know that all of the levels are working on an intervention in different ways to support the

908
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,320
re-learning or learning of things that they do.

909
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,340
And we will continue that through the whole year.

910
01:21:56,140 --> 01:22:01,060
Again, I didn't plug into this plan, the intervention, the ELD services.

911
01:22:01,340 --> 01:22:07,700
A lot of the other pieces that students will get, but you're right, it'll be more students.

912
01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:16,280
And, you know, so I don't know specifically how much or how we fix it.

913
01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:17,200
I appreciate it.

914
01:22:17,220 --> 01:22:20,520
And again, some of these questions, I know that you don't have an answer, but I'm just,

915
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:24,260
I think that they're worth asking because if nothing else we need to think about them.

916
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:25,840
I am prepared to say, I don't know.

917
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,480
Not sure if this is going to be, I don't know.

918
01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:29,800
It goes with the mask, actually.

919
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:37,680
So, you know, we got, there's a couple emails we got from students talking about, you know,

920
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:42,980
concerns around AP classes because that's something that students for coming more increasingly

921
01:22:43,700 --> 01:22:49,380
more involved in and becoming more college ready. So I mean have we looked at or do we know

922
01:22:49,380 --> 01:22:55,180
what impact if you have a student for example that has multiple AP classes with this reduced schedule?

923
01:22:55,460 --> 01:23:00,620
I mean how does that fare for the student that maybe that doesn't come as easy to but they're still

924
01:23:00,620 --> 01:23:02,660
working to become college ready for those.

925
01:23:02,940 --> 01:23:08,820
Right. Yeah, that's that's hard. And I think the good news is they're only going to take

926
01:23:08,820 --> 01:23:14,280
three to time. And so so they're not going to have to manage that alone. And then in the plan,

927
01:23:14,500 --> 01:23:20,020
there are some nuances where we're going to have some ability to add to the instruction and I

928
01:23:20,020 --> 01:23:26,200
could see AP being a lot of different classes where they might might extend the learning. So they

929
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:32,200
sort of the Monday Tuesday group and the Thursday Friday group and maybe do ways to do some

930
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:38,580
some video and some other things to add to that learning. You know, I think a lot about the

931
01:23:38,580 --> 01:23:46,140
AP students as all of them and I think with the three classes and with their ability and they're

932
01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:50,500
they're working with their teachers. Again, because the teachers will still be supporting them

933
01:23:50,500 --> 01:23:51,940
the days they're not there.

934
01:23:54,900 --> 01:23:59,260
And then I think we're going to get our AP results next week

935
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:06,220
on the 15th and so that'll be a useful half-some more information for you as to what happened

936
01:24:06,220 --> 01:24:10,680
and the test was different. Everything was different about it, just like everything else from it.

937
01:24:12,710 --> 01:24:21,790
With, so speaking specifically to the elementary plan, because I've had a lot of parents that have

938
01:24:21,790 --> 01:24:25,090
schedule, right? If they're going to be in person and that's four days a week, right?

939
01:24:25,230 --> 01:24:35,850
So what's I guess what's the logic and and understand? I'm not advocating for one of the other at this point yet,

940
01:24:36,330 --> 01:24:42,490
but what is the logic of reducing the number of hours over four days as opposed to two full days?

941
01:24:42,570 --> 01:24:51,730
Because here's my concern. Now you have childcare issues spread over four days and pick up and drop off and a lot of things

942
01:24:51,730 --> 01:24:56,430
it can really complicated that. So how does, I mean, what's the, I think that one really,

943
01:24:56,750 --> 01:24:59,590
because we were at the two days at one point.

944
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:29,440
I think that one really came down to the elementary teachers feeling like for the skills they are building to see them every day and to have a good solid amount of time. Now, there may not be a lot of extra stuff. They're not going to be doing TE there or some other things, but for the reading, which is, which is always our biggest concern, especially the early elementary reading and math. There's going to have time virtually every day with their teachers to work on that and which would support them.

945
01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:41,740
So I think they felt as opposed to high school where, again, it's more contact, elementary, it's more skills and skill acquisition and they felt like they really needed that time with the students more.

946
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:44,720
Okay. So they needed more days. The two days wasn't going to be sufficient.

947
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:50,840
The two days felt, you know, when you're, I mean, just with some of the routines, they're trying to teach kids.

948
01:25:50,860 --> 01:25:57,840
I always watch the first day of school. I was a high school person, so when I go and first day of school, they all lined up really well and started walking.

949
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:03,800
it was stopping. That was really tricky because it was coming all of that. And then you

950
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,240
don't come back for three days. What is this way? I think there's just warmer teams taking.

951
01:26:12,790 --> 01:26:18,130
So I just have a question. Have you looked at, or did you guys, as you're working on a plan,

952
01:26:18,350 --> 01:26:23,950
look at the document that was recently produced by the American Academy of Pediatrics?

953
01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:30,970
I glance through it, I didn't look through it, because I'm just, I'm just, it's interesting

954
01:26:30,970 --> 01:26:36,350
because they really take a look at the balance between some of the things we've heard

955
01:26:36,350 --> 01:26:40,570
tonight about the social emotional impacts and mental health impacts and the learning

956
01:26:40,570 --> 01:26:45,590
loss and I think they even kind of addressed the achievement gap and special education students.

957
01:26:49,100 --> 01:26:53,220
So, I guess, I want to be clear with kind of going back to the elementary model.

958
01:26:53,220 --> 01:26:57,360
So this would be one teacher would have 50% of the students

959
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:59,520
in the A and schedule, and then they would have the same

960
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,100
teacher would have the other half in the P and schedule.

961
01:27:02,620 --> 01:27:05,000
So it'd be the same teacher, same classroom, different students.

962
01:27:09,950 --> 01:27:11,110
I'll come back to that in a few minutes.

963
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,500
The partnership with the other community,

964
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:19,680
just want to run my team.

965
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:22,680
They're back and up.

966
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:24,380
They're right.

967
01:27:24,700 --> 01:27:26,120
It's either your master, me.

968
01:27:26,440 --> 01:27:27,900
I don't know, maybe, but I don't know.

969
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:34,980
So the plan, and I think that Romero mentioned with some of the community resources which are fantastic,

970
01:27:35,540 --> 01:27:41,460
but those punitively are a little less than 500, right, as far as the number of students at maximum that they could accommodate.

971
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:49,660
So beyond that, I mean, as far as an understanding, I've heard some teachers say, and I agree with that school district is not.

972
01:27:49,660 --> 01:27:56,400
I mean, we're not in the childcare or daycare business, but at the same time, lives and careers

973
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:03,020
are predicated on certain school days and hours that have traditionally been in place for,

974
01:28:03,020 --> 01:28:06,720
you know, since all of us have been going to school and have had kids.

975
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,900
So, I mean, what I mean, do we think there's other options out there?

976
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:18,240
Because I can see that being a real barrier for parents being able to bring their students to school,

977
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:22,280
and I think we've also heard from parents that there's a lot of students and especially

978
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:25,020
the elementary age that I would think distanced on you would be quite a challenge.

979
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,040
I don't think my kids would have been successful at that and I don't think I could have

980
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:33,080
really supported them as well because I'm not a teacher and I don't claim to be.

981
01:28:34,140 --> 01:28:37,940
So, I mean, what do we, whatever, what are our thoughts around those, the other than the 500?

982
01:28:38,380 --> 01:28:44,900
I mean, so I know Ramira and his team are looking for more partnerships, more ways

983
01:28:44,900 --> 01:28:51,080
The one nicely who I know, by the way, who has kids and is wrong, the answer is yes, we'll work with her.

984
01:28:51,260 --> 01:28:53,980
We'll help get her curriculum when she has a group over.

985
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,160
So again, this is going to be a community thing.

986
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:06,020
And as I said earlier, we understand that the community or the economy doesn't get roaring until we're back full time.

987
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:06,960
We get that.

988
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:14,080
I mean, so how many slots we come up with if we come up with a thousand, I don't know how many we need.

989
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:34,140
We did ask that on one of the surveys and, you know, it's, I think that's an all-hands-on deck, I know, well, you know, my wife has been asked about as a grandparent, picking up a few minutes with the kids, so yeah, that's awful and hard.

990
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:44,000
I've got a lot of questions, I'm going to ask one more than I'm going to pass it and go back here because I don't want to monopolize, but just, I guess the other question I have and this is,

991
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,900
I don't know how much you guys can consider this, but I'm just wondering if this was something to discuss.

992
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:54,620
So I'm thinking about, again, focusing on elementary specifically, so now you have an AEM schedule on the PM.

993
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:59,640
So if I'm a working parent in a lot of folks here, I mean if there's two parents in the home,

994
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,980
They're probably both working because, I mean, barely afford a house with two parents working in this community, right? So in most places. So that being said, there's probably going to be an increased need for child care and, you know, whether that's grandma, grandpa, whether that's, you know, so it's a very discussion of, even though you have AM and PM and reduced numbers of kids in the class, that gives them more time outside of the class to not only interact with their peers, which they are doing, but also they're in a child care.

995
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:35,260
care or daycare environment, which now is a whole different group that they're as opposed to

996
01:30:35,260 --> 01:30:40,700
being in the same static classroom. So it seems to me there's almost more potential for

997
01:30:40,700 --> 01:30:45,660
disease spread in for infection that way. I mean, is that something you just looked at

998
01:30:45,660 --> 01:30:52,480
or talked about? Yeah, of course. And I don't know the answer to that. I think, yeah, I'm getting

999
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:58,080
more comfortable. I don't know the answer to that. But I will say that we believe having

1000
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:08,960
So, 32 children sitting in a closed classroom together at any level for 90 minutes at the high school

1001
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:13,320
or two and a half hours at elementary is the concern.

1002
01:31:13,980 --> 01:31:16,960
That's the main concern with the 50 percent model.

1003
01:31:17,140 --> 01:31:19,660
That's the main benefit to the 50 percent model.

1004
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:23,480
You only have 50 percent of the students in the class at any one time.

1005
01:31:23,480 --> 01:31:29,120
so they can sit at desks that are a bit apart and when the second group comes in they can

1006
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:35,400
sit at the other desk if we haven't gotten them wiped down. So that's the main benefit where

1007
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:41,480
people go after that and again I've seen some daycare and that that also do have to do some

1008
01:31:41,480 --> 01:31:48,600
things and try and manage this. So I don't know which is worse. From our standpoint the

1009
01:31:49,340 --> 01:31:55,880
40 a week with the elementary students seemed better academically and to not have 30,

1010
01:31:56,100 --> 01:32:02,940
32 students in a classroom at one time was what this plan was about. That's the 50%.

1011
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:12,960
I think the doctor addressed it a little bit, but I guess I just keep coming back to my concern is that cohort

1012
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:18,900
models versus multiple, you know, multiple contacts throughout the community.

1013
01:32:19,140 --> 01:32:22,920
It seems to be that if I understood the doctor correctly, that it's really

1014
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:26,760
more of those contacts in the family, occasionally in the community,

1015
01:32:26,980 --> 01:32:30,900
it's not, there hasn't been any cases in schools that I know of, at least in the local area.

1016
01:32:32,180 --> 01:32:36,500
So, I mean, from a medical standpoint, is that something we have, or we can take a look at,

1017
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:40,040
because that, that concerned me, just feel like there's, there's more interaction potentially

1018
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:45,200
with a half day, then there would be with kids in school, so I don't, I don't, but I'm really

1019
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,940
sure I won't get medical advice. Thank you.

1020
01:32:49,220 --> 01:32:50,660
Oh, do you have a medical advice?

1021
01:32:50,820 --> 01:32:52,560
My medical advice, there we go.

1022
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,400
And your mask is much better, by the way, than it is. He's great to be out.

1023
01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:59,300
I just, I'm going to get an advice from that corner.

1024
01:33:00,580 --> 01:33:06,040
So I think that the piece that, to me, we can't control what kids do out of school. We never

1025
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,720
have been able to control what students and families choose to do outside of the school setting.

1026
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:15,880
But being able to provide the social distancing, physical distancing in the classroom, when

1027
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,360
they come back, is what we can control.

1028
01:33:18,620 --> 01:33:23,980
And so I think that that's all the more reason to do a 50% model is because if the kids are

1029
01:33:23,980 --> 01:33:28,020
going to be kids and do what they're going to do and hang out with different cohorts and

1030
01:33:28,020 --> 01:33:32,420
different groups that children outside of our care, then to me that means we have all the

1031
01:33:32,420 --> 01:33:37,920
responsibility to make sure that when they're in our care, or at least providing that opportunity

1032
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,500
to physically distance, both for the students in the class as well as the staff.

1033
01:33:41,900 --> 01:33:46,980
So I think that's part of the piece that we struggle with, but I would say on the cohorting

1034
01:33:46,980 --> 01:33:51,880
piece, we can control what we can control in the schools, and I know at one of our reopening

1035
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:56,040
school session, there was a conversation about that, that kids are going to play baseball and

1036
01:33:56,040 --> 01:34:00,980
soccer and go to their friend's house and we can't control that, but what we can't control is

1037
01:34:00,980 --> 01:34:05,900
that school setting and so by ensuring that they are at least physically distancing when they're

1038
01:34:05,900 --> 01:34:10,580
with us, we can hopefully mitigate some of that spread that they may be bringing with them from

1039
01:34:10,580 --> 01:34:11,420
their outside activities.

1040
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,320
Okay, thank you. I'll pass it for now.

1041
01:34:17,420 --> 01:34:23,300
If I can just add on the social distancing aspect on childcare, we had a conversation with our

1042
01:34:23,300 --> 01:34:29,820
community regarding the importance of being able to do a lot of outdoor activities from the perspective

1043
01:34:29,820 --> 01:34:32,940
of, you know, the transmission is less likely,

1044
01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:36,080
being outdoors, so that is looking at ways

1045
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:40,740
that we can incorporate and reduce the transmission process

1046
01:34:40,740 --> 01:34:42,480
based on what the research says.

1047
01:34:45,580 --> 01:34:46,520
Okay, Mr. Tracy.

1048
01:34:49,110 --> 01:34:52,470
So I have a lot of questions and a lot of info

1049
01:34:52,470 --> 01:34:54,470
and I'll try to be succinct.

1050
01:34:54,770 --> 01:34:58,010
So I guess just to piggyback from where Sean left off.

1051
01:34:58,470 --> 01:34:59,970
So I really wanted to make sure-

1052
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:09,360
I spoke from a place of accuracy, that can be, so anybody can call Dr. Mazi as if the county, conferred when I'm saying, you can look it up. There you go.

1053
01:35:10,380 --> 01:35:19,220
So I just think it's really important for everyone to understand that 182 kids under the age of 18 in this county have gotten COVID since it started.

1054
01:35:20,500 --> 01:35:28,120
Right, no one's died. We only have right now, there's 35 people in the hospital, countywide.

1055
01:35:28,660 --> 01:35:35,240
To everyone's point about positivity, right going up, and I think someone said it on the call.

1056
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:44,440
The CDC, the Lancet, the American Association of Pedertrations, children who do get it are getting mild cases.

1057
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,680
There are exceptions to everyone, so yes, it's a general statement.

1058
01:35:48,060 --> 01:35:49,180
The bill curve is still real.

1059
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:55,130
And they're not actually all of the tracing data.

1060
01:35:55,130 --> 01:36:01,050
people can look at us, is not necessarily implying that kids are always giving it to their families

1061
01:36:01,050 --> 01:36:07,210
and or parents, and or even their peers, or vice versa. So I wanted to make sure that

1062
01:36:07,210 --> 01:36:10,830
I understood clearly so I spoke to Dr. Mochis, I begged him to jump on our call so he might get lucky,

1063
01:36:11,710 --> 01:36:16,310
but I wanted to understand that everybody is really concerned about asymptomatic spread.

1064
01:36:17,550 --> 01:36:22,070
So to the point of Sasha said about, we can't control what kids do after school. So I feel like we

1065
01:36:22,070 --> 01:36:24,130
have the responsibility of looking at the big picture.

1066
01:36:24,390 --> 01:36:26,770
So people were talking about age back and spread.

1067
01:36:27,330 --> 01:36:29,170
So as a teacher, if I was a teacher,

1068
01:36:29,630 --> 01:36:31,790
and I understood from what everyone has said

1069
01:36:31,790 --> 01:36:35,590
is that it's droplet transmitted, right?

1070
01:36:36,090 --> 01:36:38,390
So so far, no, I mean, the science is clear.

1071
01:36:38,950 --> 01:36:39,250
It's, right?

1072
01:36:40,530 --> 01:36:41,990
Well, I mean, I guess everyone has science

1073
01:36:41,990 --> 01:36:43,450
approved their point, which proves the point

1074
01:36:43,450 --> 01:36:46,630
that clearly we shouldn't necessarily make the decision

1075
01:36:46,630 --> 01:36:48,430
on one side or the other completely.

1076
01:36:48,970 --> 01:36:50,950
So, but if you look at the CDC,

1077
01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:56,970
If you look at the, if you look at the, you know, organizations that people trust, it will tell

1078
01:36:56,970 --> 01:37:02,290
you that the main transmission is droplets. So if you're asymptomatic and you're not

1079
01:37:02,290 --> 01:37:06,350
coughing, sneezing, picking your nose and shaking someone's hand, sharing a drink, eating

1080
01:37:06,350 --> 01:37:12,230
off of your teacher, right? There should actually be almost no away if the teachers were

1081
01:37:12,230 --> 01:37:17,970
going to ask and there's a shield and or six feet of distance, because distance is more important

1082
01:37:17,970 --> 01:37:26,190
the masks for protection to even contract the virus, right? So I just want to throw that out there

1083
01:37:26,190 --> 01:37:30,210
because that goes to this idea of if the cohorts are leaving school, we can do everything we want

1084
01:37:30,210 --> 01:37:35,590
school. When school starts, we don't know idea which teachers and which students are going to show up

1085
01:37:35,590 --> 01:37:40,650
positive. So two weeks after school starts, we may be seeing cases because who knows who's going

1086
01:37:40,650 --> 01:37:45,070
to show up asymptomatic not knowing that you even have because we have no intention of doing testing

1087
01:37:45,070 --> 01:37:50,690
that front. It would be expensive, it would be ridiculous. So there's a level of risk we're all

1088
01:37:50,690 --> 01:37:55,450
taking and I feel like maybe we missed so HVAC. If we spend a lot of money on HVAC and we're

1089
01:37:55,450 --> 01:38:03,030
concerned about somehow getting so airborne that it skips the six feet and it hits the, I mean,

1090
01:38:03,430 --> 01:38:09,350
we can't, it's pretty, right? I mean, it's a magic look. So I'm just concerned that we're going to

1091
01:38:09,350 --> 01:38:15,050
solve the wrong problems and I'm thinking and maybe the ship is already sailed but one of the things

1092
01:38:15,050 --> 01:38:21,550
you guys decided collectively as a school board, as a school system, and as a community partnership,

1093
01:38:22,170 --> 01:38:27,270
which problem we're trying to solve. So if we agree collectively, I don't know what the answer is,

1094
01:38:27,310 --> 01:38:32,250
but that children are overwhelmingly safe, how we're going to keep our teachers safe because of

1095
01:38:32,250 --> 01:38:37,050
the population, then maybe we solve a different problem. So I don't know there were all having the

1096
01:38:37,050 --> 01:38:43,410
conversation from the same lens, right? And so I'm struggling with, I don't want to get upset,

1097
01:38:43,890 --> 01:38:51,790
really wanting to honor local authority, owning it, not having to have somebody else make a decision for us,

1098
01:38:52,090 --> 01:38:58,370
respecting our teachers, respecting our parents, but more than that respecting our kids,

1099
01:38:58,710 --> 01:39:02,030
because we can't undo some of the decisions we're going to make.

1100
01:39:02,790 --> 01:39:08,550
So as much as I agree with, so I don't know, I guess Dan, can you talk to, like when we talk about age tracking,

1101
01:39:08,550 --> 01:39:11,370
cleaning, the other part of this is, you know,

1102
01:39:11,450 --> 01:39:15,330
phomaite transmission is like negligible, which is,

1103
01:39:15,330 --> 01:39:16,970
which a surface transmission, right?

1104
01:39:17,610 --> 01:39:21,350
So, we talk about deep cleaning, but if it's negligible risk,

1105
01:39:21,350 --> 01:39:23,290
because we're not necessarily cleaning up

1106
01:39:23,290 --> 01:39:26,130
and not and bloodily fluids and droplets all the time,

1107
01:39:26,310 --> 01:39:30,570
then do we need the empty day of classes to deep clean,

1108
01:39:30,570 --> 01:39:31,890
or is there other ways to do that?

1109
01:39:31,990 --> 01:39:34,590
Can students be a part of cleaning with chloro?

1110
01:39:34,590 --> 01:39:38,310
I just, all this science matters and how we build a plan.

1111
01:39:39,250 --> 01:39:39,810
That's right.

1112
01:39:40,110 --> 01:39:40,350
No.

1113
01:39:40,730 --> 01:39:41,950
Students can't use Quarax.

1114
01:39:42,510 --> 01:39:43,170
Well, they can do it.

1115
01:39:43,170 --> 01:39:43,490
They can do it.

1116
01:39:43,490 --> 01:39:44,230
That means thieves.

1117
01:39:44,410 --> 01:39:47,450
Our teachers can't even do it unless they go through a training online.

1118
01:39:48,750 --> 01:39:49,630
So yeah.

1119
01:39:50,070 --> 01:39:51,150
But you know what I mean.

1120
01:39:51,410 --> 01:39:55,330
But it depends on what decision is made is how we do this.

1121
01:39:56,030 --> 01:39:59,850
And typically for, for cleaning, if there was some kind of a and b

1122
01:39:59,850 --> 01:39:59,970
Thank you.

1123
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:06,960
Today, typically our custodians, we have one that comes in early in the morning and is there during the day, the other one's coming in the afternoon.

1124
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:18,700
It's going to be a matter of shifting, you know, moving their shifts coming in early to help clean the sites between the A and B. If that's what was chosen.

1125
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:27,780
And then we'll have to, we've been talking about we're going to have to add some custodians to cover some night functions as well to do some of the other cleaning.

1126
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:34,420
And in the secondary schools it's going to be about shifting, you know, that Wednesday.

1127
01:40:35,980 --> 01:40:40,560
You know, we would spend Mondays and Tuesday spending a lot of time on disinfecting.

1128
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:44,760
Or Wednesday would be catching up on things we might not have gotten to on Monday and Tuesday.

1129
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:47,520
And it helps us catch up on some of the things.

1130
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,420
That's what that Wednesday would be about.

1131
01:40:50,220 --> 01:40:55,880
But it just depends on what schedule I have working on spreadsheets for all the different sites.

1132
01:40:55,880 --> 01:41:01,100
where I think we would need to add custodians to help, and what we don't, just a matter of

1133
01:41:01,100 --> 01:41:06,800
moving around some of their schedules. So what's the language about air flow and stuff? Are we

1134
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:13,860
not expecting that? That's going to be a, there's, our systems, we're not hospitals, we don't have

1135
01:41:13,860 --> 01:41:20,280
separate ventilation in the rooms, it's all part of the system itself. Can we change the air flow?

1136
01:41:20,340 --> 01:41:25,840
Yes, we can. Some easier than others, some of the newer systems that are online that we have

1137
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:31,540
control over. We can change the amount of air that's coming from the inside outside of

1138
01:41:31,540 --> 01:41:37,520
a little bit, but those are not designed to be able to stop ventilation completely or do nothing

1139
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:42,540
by ventilation, because there's no, you know, there is ventilation in it, but it's air conditioning

1140
01:41:42,540 --> 01:41:46,100
or heating. You know, I don't have that kind of control. These are not made that way.

1141
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:50,620
So what is the threshold for students to be involved in the sanitation? So like we use

1142
01:41:50,620 --> 01:41:52,600
germ gel, so they can use alcohol, right?

1143
01:41:52,740 --> 01:41:54,780
So can they wipe down desks with alcohol?

1144
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,140
Kid, like, like, like, like, there's no oxygen to make,

1145
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,040
but any type of chemical that you even use, whether it's an adult,

1146
01:42:00,700 --> 01:42:03,460
I don't even, I've never even considered kids cleaning classrooms,

1147
01:42:03,980 --> 01:42:05,780
but of course, I don't even need to have to be trained.

1148
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:07,120
I mean, well, that's what you're saying.

1149
01:42:07,260 --> 01:42:08,300
No, no, no, no, that's not what you're saying.

1150
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:08,680
I'm not.

1151
01:42:09,180 --> 01:42:12,940
I'm saying if we can put germ gel in a kid's hand, then in theory,

1152
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:16,020
they could use a pretty old wipe to wipe down their desks,

1153
01:42:16,020 --> 01:42:19,020
but they leave the classroom as a part of the process.

1154
01:42:19,020 --> 01:42:23,080
I'm just saying we need to be innovative on how we can solve it, if we're agreeing on what

1155
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:23,700
problem we're solving.

1156
01:42:24,780 --> 01:42:24,800
Sure.

1157
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:30,920
But there's laws and things that we'd have to make sure we're not breaking in order

1158
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:31,820
to be creative.

1159
01:42:31,980 --> 01:42:32,940
That's a big deal.

1160
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:33,340
OK.

1161
01:42:33,420 --> 01:42:33,900
Thank you.

1162
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:38,760
And I guess I just want to say that if you haven't watched it today, the president did host

1163
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:43,740
a community conversation around opening schools, and he was really clear that not only is he going

1164
01:42:43,740 --> 01:42:48,640
to put pressure on all the governors to open schools, but that the CDC recommendations, all

1165
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:53,840
the Department of Education recommendations nationally and statewide that they're not supposed

1166
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:59,460
to supplement the local needs of getting kids in school and they're not supposed to

1167
01:42:59,460 --> 01:43:02,380
supplement the local recommendations from public health officers.

1168
01:43:03,260 --> 01:43:07,360
So we do have some jurisdiction to make decisions around safety for our community.

1169
01:43:07,860 --> 01:43:12,520
And so the reason I brought up the data before was because if we're solving the problem for

1170
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:16,400
some long county and for a vacuable specifically, we don't have to answer some of those

1171
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,320
questions, which has to watch the data and then be

1172
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:19,500
nimble and flexible, right?

1173
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,380
And I thought I was on board with everything

1174
01:43:22,380 --> 01:43:23,840
until I really am understanding,

1175
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:27,360
I think what's missing maybe

1176
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,160
from the plan is a timeframe or because so I was,

1177
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:34,900
whatever marker we're going to use.

1178
01:43:34,980 --> 01:43:36,060
Because I do believe we have to compromise.

1179
01:43:36,980 --> 01:43:38,580
So I'm probably going to, you know, I'm fully prepared

1180
01:43:38,580 --> 01:43:39,680
to piss the whole bunch of people off.

1181
01:43:40,380 --> 01:43:42,940
But if we compromise out of respect for as many people

1182
01:43:42,940 --> 01:43:45,880
as possible, to solve as many problems as possible,

1183
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:50,060
I feel like we should have a very clear expectation for ourselves

1184
01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:53,220
of when we can move.

1185
01:43:54,060 --> 01:43:56,580
And agree if that's the state or if it's some other marker.

1186
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:00,140
And so I probably will have more questions, but I feel like,

1187
01:44:00,260 --> 01:44:01,780
so the biggest, oh, A.M.P.M.

1188
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:03,700
How do people sign up for that?

1189
01:44:03,900 --> 01:44:07,680
So if we're going to really, since if we did the same P.M. model for elementary school

1190
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:12,520
and parents work and they can manage if their kids and A.M.

1191
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:17,980
the afternoon pick up or I'm going to say at home, and so I'm flexible, I can do morning

1192
01:44:17,980 --> 01:44:18,740
system, right?

1193
01:44:19,140 --> 01:44:23,160
Or if I can do afternoon or somebody else needed, do we have a plan for that?

1194
01:44:23,440 --> 01:44:30,020
So I think each principle will work on that, and that's, that is the nuances in a master

1195
01:44:30,020 --> 01:44:30,520
schedule.

1196
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:36,740
I know that as I set up a master schedule for 2,000 kids, we have to think about who needed

1197
01:44:36,740 --> 01:44:42,120
6th period PE, there's a work experience, so I think this goes to that, I think the goal

1198
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:49,380
to get them as balanced as we can. The AM in the PM, we don't want 24 in the AM and 8 in the PM,

1199
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:54,540
but principles are just great. They're working with parents, with families on who can do

1200
01:44:54,540 --> 01:44:59,920
which, how can we make this work? And I don't think we could do that for more...

1201
01:45:04,780 --> 01:45:11,000
So that's really important for the community to hear that there is some customization of school sites with your teacher and your staff and your team.

1202
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:12,620
I'll probably have more later.

1203
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:21,340
Okay. If we could bring up Ms. Dally, please, I'd appreciate it.

1204
01:45:26,170 --> 01:45:29,870
I'd ask the one question you've carried on the meeting. Can you hear me?

1205
01:45:30,350 --> 01:45:30,790
Yes.

1206
01:45:32,570 --> 01:45:36,990
The very difficult, this is a huge difficult decision that I know we've all been stressed

1207
01:45:36,990 --> 01:45:37,310
about.

1208
01:45:37,470 --> 01:45:45,610
I've been reading every day and first of all, to Sean, I really appreciate Sasha's comments

1209
01:45:45,610 --> 01:45:51,070
about what we can and can't control, and also if the kids aren't in school for three days

1210
01:45:51,070 --> 01:45:54,990
and they have to go to daycare for those three days, then they're still as exposed as they

1211
01:45:54,990 --> 01:45:58,970
would be at half days in the afternoon of warning.

1212
01:45:58,970 --> 01:46:07,210
So, to me, if they're not in there, if they're not doing full time, which I at this point don't support, but if they're still going to be exposed.

1213
01:46:07,550 --> 01:46:18,210
And my hope is that parents who feel that their children are ready for full time, that they are getting together with their friends, because those parents feel that that's an important piece to them.

1214
01:46:18,850 --> 01:46:28,330
So, if those kids are getting together with their friends, because those parents made that choice, then I think we owe it to the parents who are not having their children get together with them.

1215
01:46:28,330 --> 01:46:34,490
keeping them in a hunkered down bubble and who are sending their children back with the 50% to respect

1216
01:46:34,490 --> 01:46:39,510
the fact that that social distancing is going to help keep their child safe as well as in

1217
01:46:39,510 --> 01:46:45,450
teachers. So, I do believe kids can get social interactions and it may be through the home

1218
01:46:45,450 --> 01:46:51,570
and through other ways that the family is providing and maybe not being in school 100% of the time.

1219
01:46:52,070 --> 01:46:57,550
The other thing is education. As you know, I was an educator for many years and a principal

1220
01:46:57,550 --> 01:47:03,130
and I truly believe that when teachers have less children in a classroom, whether it's

1221
01:47:03,130 --> 01:47:09,650
16 teenagers out of a class of 32 or whether it's 12 or third graders out of a class of

1222
01:47:09,650 --> 01:47:15,570
24, they can move a lot faster, especially if the children happen to be six feet apart, and

1223
01:47:15,570 --> 01:47:18,710
are not bothering each other, touching each other, getting up and moving, etc.

1224
01:47:19,170 --> 01:47:24,030
As much as they had been in the past, and by giving it a shorter day, that is truly

1225
01:47:24,030 --> 01:47:31,370
accomplishable. So I really believe that we can focus with on education and that our teachers

1226
01:47:31,370 --> 01:47:37,470
will do an amazing job in that short time. So I think we can give our kids what they need with

1227
01:47:37,470 --> 01:47:44,870
that and a hybrid model. I think that for the people that are concerned about, you know, we're

1228
01:47:44,870 --> 01:47:51,230
not giving them what they need and we should be open. I think that we open many places open to

1229
01:47:51,230 --> 01:47:54,810
and the ramifications are huge in those states.

1230
01:47:55,030 --> 01:47:59,610
And I think if we start carefully and we can open up more

1231
01:47:59,610 --> 01:48:01,150
because there isn't a problem,

1232
01:48:01,610 --> 01:48:04,630
I think our county will open more and go to stage four.

1233
01:48:04,750 --> 01:48:07,110
If that's what doctors and the chias are saying

1234
01:48:07,110 --> 01:48:10,750
that we're in a good place and we're at stage four

1235
01:48:10,750 --> 01:48:13,750
and that qualified for this state, then fine.

1236
01:48:14,270 --> 01:48:18,030
I truly believe it's our children.

1237
01:48:18,190 --> 01:48:19,650
We want them to be safe.

1238
01:48:19,650 --> 01:48:25,290
And if we err on the side of safety and make sure they're healthy, then we can open up.

1239
01:48:25,330 --> 01:48:31,650
But if we get kids sick, because they're in a room that's 960 square feet, which is different.

1240
01:48:31,770 --> 01:48:37,690
But they've been in all summer with their families, they're going to be with 16 other kids.

1241
01:48:38,910 --> 01:48:46,050
I mean, if they were with 24 kids in 960 square feet for all day, that's a huge difference.

1242
01:48:46,050 --> 01:48:52,970
And because this is airborne, they may not be coughing and sneezing, but they will be answering questions.

1243
01:48:53,210 --> 01:48:54,650
They will be talking, et cetera.

1244
01:48:55,070 --> 01:48:56,830
How can we do that to our children?

1245
01:48:57,530 --> 01:48:59,070
I am so fearful.

1246
01:48:59,530 --> 01:49:02,590
And yes, fearful is the word because that's not my child.

1247
01:49:02,590 --> 01:49:05,070
And I'm making this decision for those families.

1248
01:49:05,410 --> 01:49:08,050
And I really believe we are on the side of safety.

1249
01:49:08,370 --> 01:49:15,610
And then we open up as we see other school districts and the state and country and the world.

1250
01:49:15,610 --> 01:49:17,930
I mean, if you look all over the world,

1251
01:49:18,050 --> 01:49:19,890
every place is dealing with this right now,

1252
01:49:19,990 --> 01:49:22,050
it is not a fact of the issue.

1253
01:49:23,090 --> 01:49:25,270
And I guess that's all I have to say right now.

1254
01:49:25,630 --> 01:49:27,230
Thank you.

1255
01:49:27,510 --> 01:49:28,210
Thank you, Shelley.

1256
01:49:29,690 --> 01:49:30,890
Michael, I'm going to go to you next.

1257
01:49:31,570 --> 01:49:33,810
But I will let you know that there were three speakers

1258
01:49:33,810 --> 01:49:36,170
that were missed purely by time frame,

1259
01:49:36,170 --> 01:49:38,850
and they were dropped off the chats as we began.

1260
01:49:39,570 --> 01:49:42,610
And after Miss Mallberg, I'll let you

1261
01:49:42,610 --> 01:49:45,190
the three speakers speak from there.

1262
01:49:45,190 --> 01:49:55,350
Okay. Are you fantastic? All right, so Alex Burlis student Alex give us the second

1263
01:49:58,870 --> 01:49:59,970
and hope

1264
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,060
Hello, Alex. Good evening. Are you there?

1265
01:50:02,620 --> 01:50:03,400
Yes, I'm here.

1266
01:50:03,620 --> 01:50:07,120
Fantastic. Good evening and you have two minutes. The floor is yours.

1267
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:13,880
Okay, thank you. My name is Alexander Boris and I'm an incoming junior of back high.

1268
01:50:14,220 --> 01:50:20,820
Last night, I sent an email to the school board voicing my concerns over the proposed plan for high school, which is being voted on tonight.

1269
01:50:21,260 --> 01:50:26,320
This plan entails students taking three classes in the first quarter and their second three classes in second quarter.

1270
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:32,520
Come January, students will be expected to have retained information that they may not have touched since three months prior.

1271
01:50:33,260 --> 01:50:35,180
This plan is unrealistic and unfair.

1272
01:50:36,020 --> 01:50:38,680
Will teachers try and give us as much information as they can?

1273
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,720
They are left very little time to review or re-teach.

1274
01:50:42,420 --> 01:50:46,000
This plan adds unneeded stress to our lives as we transition into adulthood,

1275
01:50:46,500 --> 01:50:52,360
and to me as a junior it adds more stress to our USB or arguably the most important year of high school.

1276
01:50:52,700 --> 01:50:55,960
Many issues also arise when it comes to leadership and arts.

1277
01:50:55,960 --> 01:51:03,140
Leadership students do so much for a school and we'll have to do more work at home when they are not in a quarter with their leadership period in it.

1278
01:51:03,380 --> 01:51:06,380
Students in AP classes will be highly affected as well.

1279
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:13,620
AP classes will be even more difficult to excel in making an AP test that already costs a lot of money even more difficult to pass.

1280
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:20,420
As mentioned earlier, a lot of work will have to be done outside of school to retain the learning done in the classroom.

1281
01:51:20,420 --> 01:51:23,740
I myself am taking five AP classes next year.

1282
01:51:24,260 --> 01:51:27,300
I also know that many of my other classmates are in the same boat.

1283
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:33,560
Back a high-priced itself in the opportunities it creates for students to be successful with all of the AP classes that it offers.

1284
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,960
With their proposed plans, success becomes very difficult to achieve.

1285
01:51:37,580 --> 01:51:42,320
As my mom is a teacher here in the district, I've watched passport meetings and have heard pass proposals.

1286
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:47,920
Lastborn meeting, a plan was proposed allowing students to see all of their teachers at least once each week.

1287
01:51:48,480 --> 01:51:52,820
This seems to me and to many others that I've talked to, to be the best option of learning

1288
01:51:52,820 --> 01:51:57,440
for more support from all teachers and continue learning to retain information better.

1289
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,400
In making your decision tonight, all I ask is that the concerns of our high school students

1290
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:03,080
are heard and taken into consideration.

1291
01:52:03,660 --> 01:52:04,720
Thank you for your time.

1292
01:52:05,860 --> 01:52:06,680
Thank you, Alex.

1293
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:13,020
The next speaker is just a number eight six seven five.

1294
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:14,300
No, that was a different one.

1295
01:52:14,380 --> 01:52:14,580
Sorry.

1296
01:52:15,180 --> 01:52:16,340
There's a little slip there.

1297
01:52:16,340 --> 01:52:19,880
How about 7, 6, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5,

1298
01:52:25,630 --> 01:52:30,790
and hello anonymous caller are you there?

1299
01:52:31,070 --> 01:52:32,350
Did we mute them?

1300
01:52:33,290 --> 01:52:35,650
Are you hearing me?

1301
01:52:35,810 --> 01:52:36,510
I got you.

1302
01:52:37,650 --> 01:52:38,470
Do you introduce yourself?

1303
01:52:39,730 --> 01:52:41,350
My name is Alicia Wolker.

1304
01:52:41,890 --> 01:52:45,990
My focus has been not only to advocate for my kids, but for all kids.

1305
01:52:45,990 --> 01:52:51,610
her long periods of isolation and lack of instruction is detrimental. Children

1306
01:52:51,610 --> 01:52:57,650
rely on schools for multiple needs, including education, nutrition, physical activity,

1307
01:52:58,270 --> 01:53:03,870
socialization, and mental health. Students receive services for disabilities and other

1308
01:53:03,870 --> 01:53:10,330
conditions that are virtually impossible to live online. For a long, meaningful, return to full-time

1309
01:53:10,330 --> 01:53:16,050
and person education with definitely result in hundreds of thousands of kids being at risk

1310
01:53:16,050 --> 01:53:19,870
for worsening academic development and health outcomes.

1311
01:53:20,710 --> 01:53:23,270
The only thing I've heard is always plants.

1312
01:53:23,990 --> 01:53:25,850
I haven't heard how you're going to enforce it.

1313
01:53:26,070 --> 01:53:33,570
So if my son decides to take off his mask and not push resistance from his friend, what

1314
01:53:33,570 --> 01:53:37,050
punishment is the school going to lay down for my child.

1315
01:53:37,050 --> 01:53:42,230
There's a check-in balance system when they don't, we just respect fully get a

1316
01:53:42,230 --> 01:53:45,770
demerit, they get detention, how was that all going to be enforced?

1317
01:53:46,210 --> 01:53:51,330
I haven't heard any discussions of how you're going to enforce these all these regulations and

1318
01:53:51,330 --> 01:53:51,750
restrictions.

1319
01:53:52,350 --> 01:54:00,870
These kids have been through so much as a parent on emotional, just short, and I've reached my

1320
01:54:00,870 --> 01:54:07,910
to the point. These kids need their teachers, they need their friends, and they need an education.

1321
01:54:08,710 --> 01:54:16,150
And I thought, in 2020, we should not be fighting for a fair education system, because many

1322
01:54:16,150 --> 01:54:20,190
have fought for this before. It's ridiculous. Thank you.

1323
01:54:20,190 --> 01:54:30,550
Thank you. Next is Emma and I'm not even in trial last name. Emma. Emma G. How's that?

1324
01:54:33,900 --> 01:54:35,160
All right. Emma are you there?

1325
01:54:36,580 --> 01:54:37,360
Hi. Can you guys hear?

1326
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:39,460
We've got you. Go ahead. Floor.

1327
01:54:41,260 --> 01:54:49,120
Hello. My name's Emma Joya. I'm an incoming junior at Faculty of High School and I have concerns surrounding the proposed school schedule that you guys are voting on tonight.

1328
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:56,240
I've already voiced my opinions to you guys and concerns to the board members, the email, but I'm here to do the same.

1329
01:54:56,780 --> 01:54:59,860
My make and concern is that I am expected to remember first quarter information.

1330
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:11,280
In this plan as extra stress to my school year and other students, knowing that I am expected to memorize information on top of new, on top of new material from the rest of my classes.

1331
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:19,980
Extra stress is being added to many students who have ambitious classes or students like me who have a hard time learning and memorizing information even in a normal class setting.

1332
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:23,620
This plan doesn't have a teacher or a student's best interest in mind.

1333
01:55:23,620 --> 01:55:32,060
teachers are expected to cram students with information in the first quarter limiting time for students to ask for necessary help or thoughts full meaningful questions.

1334
01:55:32,500 --> 01:55:39,620
I believe that the second semester will become more retaching from first quarter information and less retaching and less retaching.

1335
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:42,540
Sorry, and less actual teaching.

1336
01:55:43,260 --> 01:55:49,220
The second semester has seen as the most stressful time in school because AP tests and finals are floating in the back of our heads.

1337
01:55:49,740 --> 01:55:56,120
My school prized and setting students up for success, but I do not think that the schedule set students up for true success.

1338
01:55:56,560 --> 01:56:00,440
A student's voice is vital to knowing what is truly best for a student's time at school.

1339
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:05,200
The year 2020 is hard enough as you are going through a global pandemic and a historical movement.

1340
01:56:05,580 --> 01:56:08,180
And this is very tough for my generation and our mental health.

1341
01:56:08,180 --> 01:56:12,800
And I believe that our voice is voices need to be heard and that this plan needs to be changed.

1342
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:14,620
Thank you.

1343
01:56:14,980 --> 01:56:15,390
Thank you.

1344
01:56:19,940 --> 01:56:20,580
All right, Michael.

1345
01:56:21,500 --> 01:56:22,420
Thank you.

1346
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:30,280
First of all, I just want to stipulate that everything that everybody said about negative

1347
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:37,740
effects on children, I believe, is true, there's no doubt about that.

1348
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:44,760
I have a son going into 11th grade and there's no doubt about it that it would be better

1349
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:52,060
for him to be in school full-time doing extracurriculars, he does band and I feel sad about

1350
01:56:52,060 --> 01:56:57,580
and he feels sad about that. I want to stipulate that it's bad.

1351
01:57:00,790 --> 01:57:13,880
I think, you know, I'm not going to claim any special wisdom about the science and what people say and all that kind of thing, but I'm going to say what I see.

1352
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:23,200
And that's that since June 25th, which was 13 days ago,

1353
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:29,960
Solano County has had a 218% increase in its COVID cases,

1354
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,600
highest in the Bay Area.

1355
01:57:32,820 --> 01:57:34,440
That's from Solano County's website.

1356
01:57:41,930 --> 01:57:47,310
The positivity rate for the last week is gone to 14.4%.

1357
01:57:47,310 --> 01:57:57,410
Okay, so yes, and that's important because the state recommends less than 8% and it hasn't been even close to that until then.

1358
01:57:58,050 --> 01:58:12,850
Dr. Machas, who Tracy was talking about was quoted in a daily Republican yesterday as saying that yes, it's going to spike and we can expect more hospitalizations because people are not following social distancing.

1359
01:58:12,850 --> 01:58:20,530
And people are, and most, he says that most of it is people on their families are socializing.

1360
01:58:20,990 --> 01:58:22,350
Okay, I don't know, that's what he said.

1361
01:58:24,390 --> 01:58:33,570
Vacuval is gone from that same period of time, from 145 cases to 282 cases, almost double in 13 days.

1362
01:58:35,900 --> 01:58:41,760
So hospitalizations will follow, even he said that, and I think he's pretty conservative, and I respect that, but he is.

1363
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:48,760
And probably not as much as it's been in the past because the statistics show that younger

1364
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:50,000
people are getting it now.

1365
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:55,620
Younger not being children, mostly younger people being 18 to 49 are getting it a lot more.

1366
01:58:56,180 --> 01:59:00,440
So they don't usually get as sick as people that are 65 plus or 80 plus.

1367
01:59:06,830 --> 01:59:14,310
So this is about to me, as a board member, this is about students and it's about teachers,

1368
01:59:15,010 --> 01:59:15,290
both.

1369
01:59:15,290 --> 01:59:22,070
It's not just about students, and it's not just about teachers, but teachers are at a lot more risk.

1370
01:59:22,170 --> 01:59:26,150
We have 700 teachers about, so we have to think about that.

1371
01:59:26,310 --> 01:59:26,950
We're responsible.

1372
01:59:27,190 --> 01:59:31,090
I'm responsible for that as well, as our children's education.

1373
01:59:31,290 --> 01:59:37,090
It's a very hard thing to balance, and like I said, I understand parents and students

1374
01:59:38,190 --> 01:59:41,350
concerns about not getting their, this, the right education.

1375
01:59:42,590 --> 01:59:43,770
Things have gotten much worse.

1376
01:59:43,770 --> 01:59:47,730
You know, there have been other countries actually that have had a close schools.

1377
01:59:47,890 --> 01:59:51,450
Israel has had a close school, South Korea has had a close-light of their schools.

1378
01:59:52,090 --> 01:59:55,990
And their positivity rate and penetration rate is much lower.

1379
01:59:56,590 --> 01:59:59,970
Somebody talked about, you know, you can talk about Australia, Australia and M-

1380
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:29,420
Nellborn, they had 146 cases, just yesterday, and they're going on lockdown for six weeks. Okay? To me, and I'm just saying, this is to me, if people can disagree, this is very serious. And it would be irresponsible for us to not consider how serious this is, because I personally do not want to look six weeks or six months in the future and say, oh, well, we just decided to take chance. And wow.

1381
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,840
turned out a lot worse than we thought.

1382
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:36,560
So again, I just want to say, I am extremely sorry for my child

1383
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:40,800
and everybody's child and the students also.

1384
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:43,940
And I just feel we have a responsibility for safety.

1385
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:48,200
And I also say that I am happy to revisit this at the quarter.

1386
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:50,460
I don't think we have to say we're doing this for the whole year.

1387
02:00:50,780 --> 02:00:52,720
Things get better in nine weeks.

1388
02:00:53,300 --> 02:00:54,340
Let's change it.

1389
02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:55,420
I mean, we can do that.

1390
02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:56,580
We have the power to do that.

1391
02:00:56,580 --> 02:01:12,900
And I think what Tracy said, I agree with she made this agree with how, but I think we should have a time where we officially look at it and say, okay, we're going to look at this again, and if it is if if the majority of us thinks needs to be changed, they don't need to be changed,

1392
02:01:15,580 --> 02:01:20,080
and I just want to say again, I respect everybody, but I'm going to say it's a lot of times because I feel it's terrible.

1393
02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:27,220
It's terrible to be up here right now. Whether you believe it's a hundred percent or fifty percent or it should be virtual distance learning

1394
02:01:27,220 --> 02:01:34,820
This is a horrible place to be an and don't feel sorry for me. I'm just telling you the truth and I know that the superintendant feels that

1395
02:01:34,820 --> 02:01:40,320
I know that Ed feels that and everybody in cabinet all the teachers and all the students

1396
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:46,340
It's terrible for all of us and let's try to show a little compassion for each other and we're doing the best we can

1397
02:01:47,060 --> 02:01:47,580
Thank

1398
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:51,560
you

1399
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:56,920
Michael, if I don't fall into that 18 to 49 category, just a little bit out of it, does that make me old?

1400
02:01:57,140 --> 02:01:57,280
Yes.

1401
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:58,300
Okay, good.

1402
02:01:58,460 --> 02:01:59,480
I can move on.

1403
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:00,240
Very good.

1404
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:02,220
I'm good with that.

1405
02:02:02,220 --> 02:02:04,360
Let's just accept it and move on.

1406
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:05,520
Mystery.

1407
02:02:06,420 --> 02:02:06,700
Okay.

1408
02:02:07,300 --> 02:02:08,240
So, no surprise to Cabinet.

1409
02:02:08,380 --> 02:02:09,540
I am absolutely not a proponent.

1410
02:02:09,880 --> 02:02:10,780
I'll get into that in a second.

1411
02:02:11,140 --> 02:02:15,620
What I do want to first say to Cabinet is thank you for hearing me on the independent

1412
02:02:15,620 --> 02:02:19,360
study, the virtual learning and making that nine weeks, not making that all in.

1413
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:23,480
I do appreciate that, and I recognize the change is there.

1414
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:30,360
Some of the questions if I'm the minority tonight and this is something we go forward with is,

1415
02:02:31,020 --> 02:02:34,180
you guys, eight, 40 to 130.

1416
02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:39,180
By the time a parent drops the child off, they've got two and a half hours at their lucky,

1417
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:41,400
before they can turn it on and come back and get them.

1418
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:47,080
It is not feasible, and 99% of the households in this community.

1419
02:02:47,080 --> 02:02:55,080
So I do not understand, um, I don't think the community has been represented here and I don't see how this will work for our students and we're coming off

1420
02:02:55,600 --> 02:03:03,840
pushing, I was on the start board for years and always preach as attendance and trunancy and here we are now saying we're sending parents up to not get their kids to school.

1421
02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:06,080
This is not a good option for that.

1422
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:10,040
The last 10 weeks, COVID deaths have continued to decline.

1423
02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:14,460
So yes, we're testing more, we're having a spike more, but people are not dying as of yet.

1424
02:03:14,460 --> 02:03:15,420
And I understand that could change.

1425
02:03:15,620 --> 02:03:17,980
And it will change because that's how we're going to get herd immunity.

1426
02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:23,660
With that said, we have some fundamental differences on the board, and that's why we're

1427
02:03:23,660 --> 02:03:27,140
so great is we each come with our own, we're well-rounded.

1428
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:33,060
And I truly have the foundational belief that I am here to represent my constituents, which

1429
02:03:33,060 --> 02:03:37,520
are the parents that have elected me into this position to take care of their children.

1430
02:03:38,020 --> 02:03:43,840
And with that, if I do not represent and hear their voice in this spot, I'm not doing my job

1431
02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:46,900
for them. And I have to go back to the parent survey.

1432
02:03:48,980 --> 02:03:50,380
And the question on the parent survey

1433
02:03:50,380 --> 02:03:54,880
was, under the current loveless of COVID in Sloan of County, which learning environment

1434
02:03:54,880 --> 02:04:01,980
would you choose? 53% of them want students back full time. Almost 12% want their kids online

1435
02:04:01,980 --> 02:04:08,520
full time. That's the majority. We had 15% say, I don't know I can't decide yet.

1436
02:04:13,020 --> 02:04:13,540
So,

1437
02:04:13,540 --> 02:04:19,140
majority. So who do I think I am to sit in a ivory tower and think that I know better for

1438
02:04:19,140 --> 02:04:24,000
your child than you do? So because of that, I can't touch this as tent for full. It just in

1439
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:28,400
every part of me is wrong. With that, do I love our staff? Do I care about our staff? Thousands of

1440
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:34,440
percent. Do I also see us as essential workers? Yeah, I do. And that's horribly hard. And I live with

1441
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:39,920
two essential workers. It is a terrifying thing. And it's a real fear. There's a lot of things that

1442
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:43,960
into that, but it's, unfortunately, the world, world that we're living in right now.

1443
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:51,580
So, the one that we think I just have to go up to other things, we have about 12,500 students.

1444
02:04:52,580 --> 02:04:59,200
We have answers to 474 if every child care that we've been presented with tonight is available.

1445
02:05:00,210 --> 02:05:11,630
Not a good percentage. So when we have parents who can't do the pick-up, we don't have an option for them. And then the other thing is, I just have to go back to Dr. M, it will. Two things.

1446
02:05:12,510 --> 02:05:29,170
Vacival. We're a military community. A lot of us come here. We don't have generations of family support. So not all the people that are here. In fact, many people here don't have fun jet to call to have support to help with child care. So this is a real issue in this community that is unique to others, because we have Travis Air Force Base.

1447
02:05:29,170 --> 02:05:30,870
I don't want to lose sight of that either.

1448
02:05:32,390 --> 02:05:37,930
And the last thing, Dr. M did say to us twice now.

1449
02:05:38,470 --> 02:05:40,390
He would never have recommended closing schools.

1450
02:05:41,090 --> 02:05:42,190
We overreacted.

1451
02:05:42,670 --> 02:05:46,070
And so I still haven't heard from him to close schools.

1452
02:05:46,510 --> 02:05:48,890
So I'm, he's the head of the county.

1453
02:05:49,870 --> 02:05:51,970
And this is what our parents had asked for.

1454
02:05:52,310 --> 02:05:53,270
So that's where I stand.

1455
02:05:58,570 --> 02:05:59,430
It is Stacy.

1456
02:06:02,230 --> 02:06:03,990
I regularly feel like I have to defend myself.

1457
02:06:03,990 --> 02:06:07,270
So I just want to throw out there that I don't think anybody's haven't

1458
02:06:07,270 --> 02:06:10,430
applied that we want to just really nearly say go back to school,

1459
02:06:10,690 --> 02:06:11,810
this cards will fall where they fall.

1460
02:06:12,230 --> 02:06:17,450
I think that cabinet has done an incredible job and spent hours.

1461
02:06:17,630 --> 02:06:20,310
And this is in a reflection on the options given.

1462
02:06:20,490 --> 02:06:25,570
I think that what has come to the surface for me is anything I've said,

1463
02:06:25,570 --> 02:06:28,410
hold my darn feet to the fire, go to your own research.

1464
02:06:28,510 --> 02:06:30,610
If I am all kinds of wrong, call me out.

1465
02:06:30,690 --> 02:06:31,390
I'm cool with that.

1466
02:06:31,390 --> 02:06:33,530
I'm just sharing what I have seen, what I have learned.

1467
02:06:33,530 --> 02:06:39,850
And if just for clarification because everybody throws out numbers, but this is really important, because

1468
02:06:41,170 --> 02:06:48,090
34,329 people in the Islamic County have been tested as a 430 today, 1826 are positive.

1469
02:06:48,450 --> 02:06:50,410
That's a 5.3 positive rate.

1470
02:06:51,070 --> 02:06:51,770
No, that's simple math.

1471
02:06:52,010 --> 02:06:52,510
Like that's not.

1472
02:06:52,730 --> 02:06:54,530
I say within the next last 13 days.

1473
02:06:54,670 --> 02:06:58,710
It doesn't matter because over, we can make two weeks look like anything we want.

1474
02:06:58,710 --> 02:07:03,170
Two weeks is not the overall picture for us to be making a decision for our families and children and for teachers.

1475
02:07:03,170 --> 02:07:09,110
So this two-week thing that we're getting spewed to doesn't mean squat.

1476
02:07:09,370 --> 02:07:14,830
If the death rate is going down and the overall positivity rate is 5.3,

1477
02:07:15,050 --> 02:07:16,250
doesn't matter what the last two weeks said.

1478
02:07:16,330 --> 02:07:17,830
Because here's the thing we're talking about over in school,

1479
02:07:18,210 --> 02:07:20,710
but we have to remember that all the same people who are now worried

1480
02:07:20,710 --> 02:07:22,190
as we just opened up our community.

1481
02:07:22,590 --> 02:07:27,570
We gave our community a whopping two and a half weeks of phase three opening.

1482
02:07:28,130 --> 02:07:30,890
We knew, don't misunderstand, the state knew,

1483
02:07:30,890 --> 02:07:35,770
that the positive rate was going to go up because there's more people around more people.

1484
02:07:36,270 --> 02:07:40,970
We're leaving our bubbles. We're integrating. There is going to be more people testing positive.

1485
02:07:41,810 --> 02:07:46,910
That's not new. That's not a shock. So the death rate and the positivity rate

1486
02:07:46,910 --> 02:07:52,630
absolutely matter when we're going to have an honest, transparent conversation about why we make a

1487
02:07:52,630 --> 02:08:00,870
decision long term. So I just feel like I have to context matters and this is an I agree with

1488
02:08:00,870 --> 02:08:06,910
for us too and I think that because we're essential, I think that the surveys have given us

1489
02:08:06,910 --> 02:08:12,670
a lot more options and I hadn't thought of this until it really kind of came together for

1490
02:08:12,670 --> 02:08:18,830
me. Teachers have the right to take that time because I totally respect everybody's individual

1491
02:08:18,830 --> 02:08:23,630
needs. Maybe they have a chronic illness. Maybe they have a parent that they're taking care

1492
02:08:23,630 --> 02:08:27,350
of at home. I work with seniors. It's a huge issue with all the people that we're working with.

1493
02:08:27,350 --> 02:08:34,270
taking, you know, being having children or other loved ones who are immunization, you know, compromise at home.

1494
02:08:36,290 --> 02:08:38,030
But we are an essential service.

1495
02:08:38,350 --> 02:08:42,890
So it would be totally remiss if we didn't consider child care.

1496
02:08:43,070 --> 02:08:46,350
And that's not a commentary on thinking that our teachers are daycare providers.

1497
02:08:47,190 --> 02:08:49,090
It's just a social contract that's always been in place.

1498
02:08:49,150 --> 02:08:53,290
This school is school and people work and that's just part of what we do.

1499
02:08:53,490 --> 02:08:54,710
So how we answer that question.

1500
02:08:54,710 --> 02:08:57,350
And I think it's been where the most proactive district.

1501
02:08:57,530 --> 02:09:03,010
So I want to try to like balance how proud I am of everybody and how difficult this is

1502
02:09:03,010 --> 02:09:05,630
because, can I why we did put ourselves under fire?

1503
02:09:05,750 --> 02:09:10,110
We took our attorney and this public health officer put him in front of us and took that.

1504
02:09:10,290 --> 02:09:12,210
So that everybody could hear the questions that we're asking.

1505
02:09:12,710 --> 02:09:13,990
Nobody else did that.

1506
02:09:14,590 --> 02:09:19,410
We've given us time to, because the plan from a month ago to now, the reason it's

1507
02:09:19,410 --> 02:09:23,290
even getting better is because we've taken time, we've listened to more inputs, so we've

1508
02:09:23,290 --> 02:09:27,550
more ideas come forward. I think that's how we do things here is that as we learn things,

1509
02:09:27,750 --> 02:09:31,650
things change, we are flexible. So I think it's important for parents to hear because I hadn't

1510
02:09:31,650 --> 02:09:35,350
heard it and I was putting on my parents' head. And there was one of the comments was how you

1511
02:09:35,350 --> 02:09:41,550
can enforce all this stuff. Like this is overwhelming. I think what Ed was telling us was that we just

1512
02:09:41,550 --> 02:09:44,330
need to figure out if we're even going back to school, how we're going back to school and what

1513
02:09:44,330 --> 02:09:48,790
that looks like. We perfectly understand all the parents out there. We are not talking about masks.

1514
02:09:49,210 --> 02:09:53,270
We're not talking about painting strategy. We're not talking about a lot of different things

1515
02:09:53,270 --> 02:09:57,210
the mental health support that we might be able to do with COVID money or the transportation we

1516
02:09:57,210 --> 02:09:59,970
be able to provide support to answer some of these.

1517
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:06,780
Those things that we're just talking about getting back to school, so I think that might help people frame what we're trying to decide tonight.

1518
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:19,100
And I still think that I asked that question and no one's really responded. So, Jane, peers, we don't have, we are holding ourselves to rules that we're making ourselves.

1519
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:27,180
So, when I went to school, we started the day after Labor Day. The entire time I went to school.

1520
02:10:27,820 --> 02:10:34,180
So, if we're learning right now that we still aren't to that sweet spot, we're making as many people happy as we can.

1521
02:10:34,540 --> 02:10:39,620
We haven't had enough time in our phased economy reopening to have enough data to make the best decision.

1522
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:43,740
Why do we have to start school August 6th or 8th?

1523
02:10:44,660 --> 02:10:47,600
So, our calendars negotiated with our teachers union.

1524
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:50,780
We did want to put the data later.

1525
02:10:51,100 --> 02:10:54,040
We just have to sit down and talk with the teachers union.

1526
02:10:54,040 --> 02:11:00,440
with me, you know, because we have to have 180 days that would mean that they stay later in June

1527
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:03,040
or just some holidays, but it has to be a conversation.

1528
02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:09,660
So I guess I'm saying, is that the circumstances dictate that, is doing going back to negotiation

1529
02:11:09,660 --> 02:11:13,340
a hurdle that we should take off the table, because it's that important for our community?

1530
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:14,600
Is that the will of the board?

1531
02:11:14,700 --> 02:11:18,560
I don't know, I mean, I'm not even trying to be suciest to make our lives more difficult.

1532
02:11:18,740 --> 02:11:22,220
I'm actually asking, honestly, that if this is that important to us,

1533
02:11:22,220 --> 02:11:28,020
Why do we have to go back in August if the right thing to do is to say go back in September full-time because we gave ourselves more time

1534
02:11:28,020 --> 02:11:32,280
We can answer more questions and we just I just am asking those are reals

1535
02:11:47,710 --> 02:11:48,670
Okay, okay

1536
02:11:48,670 --> 02:11:51,570
So the question is if the barrier to start

1537
02:11:53,650 --> 02:11:57,790
initiation the teachers may say forget it because here's the deal

1538
02:11:57,790 --> 02:12:02,690
We I don't want to pit teachers or students and who's more important against each other

1539
02:12:02,690 --> 02:12:07,170
It's the worst place to be, but if we have to go back to the negotiation table to push our

1540
02:12:07,170 --> 02:12:11,290
start date out, is that something you would want to do or do we want to force this square

1541
02:12:11,290 --> 02:12:12,750
peg into this hole?

1542
02:12:12,870 --> 02:12:15,250
I think the goal is to get a kiss.

1543
02:12:20,650 --> 02:12:21,650
So can I ask another question?

1544
02:12:21,770 --> 02:12:25,810
Because in the question of pushback is if that's the case, then are we prepared for a mass

1545
02:12:25,810 --> 02:12:26,870
aesthetic exodus?

1546
02:12:27,070 --> 02:12:31,670
Are we prepared to stick to everybody to Sean's point, to Sherry's point, to our parents'

1547
02:12:31,870 --> 02:12:32,110
points?

1548
02:12:32,310 --> 02:12:37,090
If people can't solve this problem, Cairo says 700-weekly it was just went to over 1,000.

1549
02:12:37,090 --> 02:12:43,930
and XYZ homeschool cohort, just VCS, people because we're not going to meet their needs.

1550
02:12:43,970 --> 02:12:47,750
It's not because they don't trust us or like us, but because it's just like practicality.

1551
02:12:48,390 --> 02:12:54,350
And so, this is still a business at the end of the day, and we still have customers that we're trying to serve.

1552
02:12:55,330 --> 02:13:02,070
So, it's time really, is it something that we force if we're looking at a big picture of business decisions and safety and education?

1553
02:13:02,290 --> 02:13:04,310
What will you do to prevent that from happening?

1554
02:13:04,310 --> 02:13:08,730
But that's like saying what you do where your soul should be you have to prevent that from happening

1555
02:13:08,730 --> 02:13:10,590
Happening will prevent what happened?

1556
02:13:10,950 --> 02:13:13,450
This max actually this is to support this conflict.

1557
02:13:14,150 --> 02:13:14,730
Are you kidding?

1558
02:13:15,030 --> 02:13:25,750
I am our cheerleader through and through, but let's be clear just if I'm a single mom or two working household and it's educate my kids or leave them home because I can't do distance learning and they're immunocompromised

1559
02:13:25,750 --> 02:13:27,530
I guess I'm gonna find the money

1560
02:13:28,090 --> 02:13:29,070
Because we're asking

1561
02:13:29,070 --> 02:13:30,630
We're fortunate for you

1562
02:13:30,630 --> 02:13:31,570
Not me personally

1563
02:13:31,570 --> 02:13:33,110
Okay, let's do this.

1564
02:13:33,230 --> 02:13:34,330
Oh, I thought it was that response.

1565
02:13:35,010 --> 02:13:37,890
Well, the answer is the question, let's finish the question

1566
02:13:37,890 --> 02:13:39,310
when everybody else is not.

1567
02:13:39,810 --> 02:13:41,750
So then I would say, can I, I'll put the second half

1568
02:13:41,750 --> 02:13:43,810
to that question, just so everybody can answer it

1569
02:13:43,810 --> 02:13:45,070
at one time, because I understand we're trying

1570
02:13:45,070 --> 02:13:45,590
to do efficiency.

1571
02:13:47,170 --> 02:13:48,690
Is it kind of goes back to that same argument

1572
02:13:49,270 --> 02:13:52,630
of if we can't control whatever is doing outside of our school?

1573
02:13:53,070 --> 02:13:54,690
Then how far are we going to go for safety

1574
02:13:54,690 --> 02:13:56,990
as we don't know who they're showing up with?

1575
02:13:57,610 --> 02:13:59,310
So I'm just looking for a direction

1576
02:13:59,310 --> 02:14:01,030
from the board whether or not you

1577
02:14:01,030 --> 02:14:05,770
I want to direct you to go work with the teachers union to discuss pushing back the

1578
02:14:05,770 --> 02:14:06,010
cow.

1579
02:14:06,390 --> 02:14:06,570
Right.

1580
02:14:06,790 --> 02:14:08,910
That's what I'm trying to finish up, Mystery.

1581
02:14:12,740 --> 02:14:18,300
It feels like we're kicking the can farther down, because I don't know what we're waiting

1582
02:14:18,300 --> 02:14:19,060
for to check.

1583
02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:19,560
You know what I'm saying?

1584
02:14:19,860 --> 02:14:20,520
That's not clear.

1585
02:14:20,720 --> 02:14:22,760
So for me, if I kick him can, I'm throwing it down.

1586
02:14:25,360 --> 02:14:25,640
Michael.

1587
02:14:27,840 --> 02:14:29,000
Just with this.

1588
02:14:29,420 --> 02:14:30,080
Just with this.

1589
02:14:30,080 --> 02:14:30,160
Just that.

1590
02:14:30,640 --> 02:14:30,880
No.

1591
02:14:31,100 --> 02:14:32,360
I think that.

1592
02:14:32,860 --> 02:14:37,260
I think that we need to start school, however we do it, however we agree.

1593
02:14:37,740 --> 02:14:41,360
And I don't think waiting two weeks is going to make a difference either way.

1594
02:14:41,840 --> 02:14:43,480
And anyway, during those two weeks,

1595
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:45,900
people would then be home with their kids that couldn't work anyway.

1596
02:14:46,400 --> 02:14:48,540
So, no, for me.

1597
02:14:49,080 --> 02:14:49,660
Mr. Wendom.

1598
02:14:53,250 --> 02:14:56,450
I'm not sure I really, at this point, I'm not really sure.

1599
02:14:57,350 --> 02:14:59,490
If we're going to talk about it, it needs to be tonight.

1600
02:15:09,360 --> 02:15:28,960
I'm not a proponent of waiting. I'd rather decide on a plan to move forward, like it or not. Let's get our kids back in front of the, in front of the teachers and start progressing forward, so I'm not a fan of changing the calendar.

1601
02:15:31,580 --> 02:15:34,360
Okay. Yeah. Miss Shelly.

1602
02:15:37,110 --> 02:15:40,190
Are you asking me to respond to that? We're making a comment.

1603
02:15:41,390 --> 02:15:44,470
Both. Please answer the question first and thank you for having a floor.

1604
02:15:45,210 --> 02:15:50,630
Okay. My answer to the question. I think what we've been saying all along is this is fluid.

1605
02:15:51,330 --> 02:16:00,670
And so if indeed things get worse, I think we can make adjustments and if things get drastically better and the state moves will make adjustments.

1606
02:16:00,670 --> 02:16:03,610
I think we need to start school when we said we were.

1607
02:16:03,850 --> 02:16:07,310
So I know we've already said that we're going to move it to the 17th.

1608
02:16:07,370 --> 02:16:08,990
I believe from the 13th.

1609
02:16:09,030 --> 02:16:10,490
Is that correct, Jane?

1610
02:16:11,230 --> 02:16:11,950
The start of the schools?

1611
02:16:12,310 --> 02:16:12,490
Yeah.

1612
02:16:12,530 --> 02:16:13,870
That was part of the plan.

1613
02:16:15,410 --> 02:16:17,250
So the 17th is halfway through the month.

1614
02:16:17,810 --> 02:16:20,250
So again, I don't think that much will change in those two weeks.

1615
02:16:21,150 --> 02:16:28,270
I do want to say as far as some of the comments made, Sheri, one of the things that Dr.

1616
02:16:28,270 --> 02:16:33,690
and did say is that social distancing was the main thing that he advocated for, and there

1617
02:16:33,690 --> 02:16:39,510
is no way you can social distance with 32 kids in a class or 24 in those rooms.

1618
02:16:40,150 --> 02:16:46,690
And the other thing is, there has not been in my knowledge, and please correct me from

1619
02:16:46,690 --> 02:16:56,230
wrong, and instance where 24 kids, 32 kids, have been in a room for five hours a day with

1620
02:16:56,230 --> 02:17:03,330
social distancing that's 960 square feet. I mean that is so different. They're closing theaters back up.

1621
02:17:03,410 --> 02:17:09,110
They're closing gyms back up. They're closing bars back up because they're finding that the

1622
02:17:09,110 --> 02:17:14,770
transmission in those places is much more than they thought. So if you opened it 100 percent

1623
02:17:14,770 --> 02:17:20,070
and just said kids could do whatever they wanted interacting with each other and being in line

1624
02:17:20,070 --> 02:17:23,810
closer and everything else because if you're not in a social distance in the classroom,

1625
02:17:23,810 --> 02:17:30,750
Why social distance any place else? Then isn't at the same as what's already happening in the state and every place

1626
02:17:30,750 --> 02:17:34,330
They've opened up and I know people are saying well kids don't get it

1627
02:17:34,330 --> 02:17:42,510
Teachers are coming from different areas and different counties. They don't know if kids don't get it in when they're in a group of 32

1628
02:17:42,510 --> 02:17:44,650
We just haven't done that yet

1629
02:17:44,650 --> 02:17:46,570
So I still say

1630
02:17:46,570 --> 02:17:52,050
Start safe. I I just I and when he said that he wouldn't have closed

1631
02:17:52,050 --> 02:17:55,410
I think it wasn't his choice at that point.

1632
02:17:56,450 --> 02:17:59,550
The state was saying, we really do need to close schools

1633
02:17:59,550 --> 02:18:02,110
and we did what we thought was best for kids.

1634
02:18:03,710 --> 02:18:08,730
And I think that it's not just about dying.

1635
02:18:08,950 --> 02:18:11,430
It's about hospitalizations and long-term effects.

1636
02:18:11,970 --> 02:18:15,650
And there have been many people that have said

1637
02:18:15,990 --> 02:18:18,730
that they've experienced COVID.

1638
02:18:18,730 --> 02:18:24,670
and they have kidney problems, blood-cut problems, stroke problems, fatigue problems, etc.

1639
02:18:25,810 --> 02:18:29,530
And I really don't want the families in our community to have that.

1640
02:18:29,570 --> 02:18:34,550
And if we can keep people from getting it by keeping our kids for nine weeks or whatever,

1641
02:18:34,850 --> 02:18:42,170
like I said, like Michael said, I do believe we should review this and say what's going on in

1642
02:18:42,170 --> 02:18:47,210
our county is it still is it getting safer? Are there not hospitalizations increasing?

1643
02:18:47,210 --> 02:18:57,030
But if we want to start August 17th, I think that starting with the 50% model is probably the best bed and then re-evaluating.

1644
02:18:57,110 --> 02:19:00,230
And I see people are upset on Zoom.

1645
02:19:00,410 --> 02:19:04,030
I can see their faces, but I too have to take a stand.

1646
02:19:04,510 --> 02:19:05,730
So that's where I'm standing.

1647
02:19:09,810 --> 02:19:13,250
Thank you, Shelley. Mr. Silva. Hold on. There you go.

1648
02:19:13,250 --> 02:19:17,190
All right, I'll try to say apologize for

1649
02:19:22,700 --> 02:19:30,800
I think that I am in a great spot, I don't see this as a loose

1650
02:19:30,800 --> 02:19:36,000
loose situation. I see this as a possibility to create a win-win situation.

1651
02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:40,420
COVID-19 funds are coming in

1652
02:19:40,420 --> 02:19:48,580
is that correct and that can be spent on anything that helps address anything related to our COVID emergency

1653
02:19:48,580 --> 02:19:55,520
response was that correct? So I think I see this as the way I see this and you know not to

1654
02:19:56,260 --> 02:19:59,980
keep going on the same circle as far as you know the science in this.

1655
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:18,880
And that I see this as an opportunity to use these federal tax funds to reinvest in an opportunity to reform our education system and the opportunity to invest in enrichment programs to complement what our teachers will be doing within the class.

1656
02:20:18,880 --> 02:20:24,060
So what I would suggest and I would love to entertain is to see our community partners that

1657
02:20:24,060 --> 02:20:29,880
help address, that are offering to help address this, you know, important code daycare

1658
02:20:30,780 --> 02:20:36,880
enrichment opportunity to entertain the opportunity to see what they can provide

1659
02:20:36,880 --> 02:20:45,220
where we can team up and possibly even use those funds to buy supplies and supplies with respect to coding

1660
02:20:45,220 --> 02:20:51,040
with respect to robotics, with respect to any other type of science case, with respect to

1661
02:20:51,040 --> 02:20:55,860
constructing stuff, with respect to learning. We have a new rise program that's going to be

1662
02:20:55,860 --> 02:21:00,980
starting at, uh, at a, keep calling contract, uh, at rise, it's what's called, at Kimmy.

1663
02:21:01,200 --> 02:21:04,820
There's an opportunity there where they're going to be looking for jobs. There's an opportunity for

1664
02:21:04,820 --> 02:21:12,060
us to use those students' ability to teach them, um, they can learn, and then they can take

1665
02:21:12,060 --> 02:21:14,920
knowledge and pass it on to this new generation.

1666
02:21:15,380 --> 02:21:20,260
So I see a possibility for us to use and access these resources that are being available

1667
02:21:20,700 --> 02:21:26,500
to be able to address all of the concerns that I'm hearing to make sure that our kids

1668
02:21:26,500 --> 02:21:33,640
are being, their education is being addressed and the fact that we can still possibly

1669
02:21:33,640 --> 02:21:40,340
even support transportation, we possibly, we can support the supplies that's needed in

1670
02:21:40,340 --> 02:21:47,360
to meet those needs, for whatever, whatever contracts, whatever polls, those that come in.

1671
02:21:47,620 --> 02:21:51,820
And these are things that something that doesn't necessarily have to take our staff's time.

1672
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:57,920
Our staff can focus on the issues that are in-class with respect to providing the best education

1673
02:21:57,920 --> 02:22:03,660
as possible. And as an educator, I will say that it is much easier and much more productive to

1674
02:22:03,660 --> 02:22:07,720
educate a smaller group of students than it is a much larger group of students, because you can

1675
02:22:07,720 --> 02:22:08,940
give them that one on one time.

1676
02:22:09,160 --> 02:22:12,040
That is something that I've heard common

1677
02:22:12,040 --> 02:22:14,380
that most parents want.

1678
02:22:14,480 --> 02:22:16,960
They want smaller classroom sizes, same thing with college.

1679
02:22:17,020 --> 02:22:18,600
They want smaller classroom sizes.

1680
02:22:18,660 --> 02:22:22,320
This is an opportunity to see that, to focus on the core

1681
02:22:22,320 --> 02:22:24,640
fundamental concepts, what are subjects,

1682
02:22:25,240 --> 02:22:28,500
and focus on how to actually develop that skill set

1683
02:22:28,500 --> 02:22:30,160
within our students within that capacity.

1684
02:22:30,700 --> 02:22:34,880
The other times that again, I see a possibility for us

1685
02:22:34,880 --> 02:22:37,980
to use those resources and investment and focus on enrichment,

1686
02:22:38,740 --> 02:22:40,840
which will help address these equitable issues

1687
02:22:40,840 --> 02:22:42,220
that I love to hear now.

1688
02:22:42,460 --> 02:22:46,220
I love to hear about the inequities that we're concerned about.

1689
02:22:46,440 --> 02:22:49,280
Now, we can actually start focus on our Richmond programs,

1690
02:22:49,500 --> 02:22:52,400
which have been proven to actually help address those

1691
02:22:52,400 --> 02:22:56,320
equitable inequities and not just for certain students

1692
02:22:56,320 --> 02:22:57,920
but for across the board.

1693
02:22:59,400 --> 02:23:03,760
So maybe is that something that the board would feel comfortable

1694
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:09,380
looking into an entertaining feedback from community-parter partners such as Boys and Girls Club,

1695
02:23:09,740 --> 02:23:12,760
a water would take to help meet that need.

1696
02:23:14,980 --> 02:23:17,020
And the question of the problem is going to be

1697
02:23:17,020 --> 02:23:23,440
access to different facilities. But I also know that there's plenty of open facilities that

1698
02:23:23,440 --> 02:23:27,460
that would be willing to accommodate that. It's going to require some staffing. But that's something

1699
02:23:28,260 --> 02:23:33,340
that these community agencies, these partners, these after-school programs that they can look into

1700
02:23:34,860 --> 02:23:38,040
and put forth the proposal to see how much they can accommodate.

1701
02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:51,380
So, I'm looking for support from the board to look at how we can use COVID-19 resources

1702
02:23:51,380 --> 02:23:59,120
or other resources from the community to help focus on providing the other half of the day.

1703
02:23:59,540 --> 02:24:06,040
So, if something we go to this 50% day or half a day or three days or whatever, we use these resources

1704
02:24:06,040 --> 02:24:12,580
is to invest in our kids and invest in enrichment opportunities that are typically outside

1705
02:24:12,580 --> 02:24:17,040
of our budget school that are typically outside of our ability to address because we're

1706
02:24:17,040 --> 02:24:22,240
focusing on certain requirements and these are going to be things that are outside maybe

1707
02:24:22,240 --> 02:24:27,860
even headquarters or certain requirements that may have even been left have been left. So that

1708
02:24:27,860 --> 02:24:32,980
way we can focus on, so that way we can basically attribute to enrichment. So the question is,

1709
02:24:33,600 --> 02:24:40,320
For the board, would you support or entertain the district receiving this input from community

1710
02:24:40,320 --> 02:24:43,080
partners to see how we can address these gaps?

1711
02:24:44,420 --> 02:24:45,740
In addition to what was proposed?

1712
02:24:46,400 --> 02:24:53,700
I'll speak real quick, I'd rather have input from our team first to see what our fiscal impacts

1713
02:24:53,700 --> 02:24:55,320
is going to be from this to begin with.

1714
02:24:55,540 --> 02:24:59,860
Just not spend all this money without knowing what this is actually going to cost us, because

1715
02:24:59,860 --> 02:24:59,980
I

1716
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:29,300
I think there's some fees that are going to all along with this that we don't have laid out yet. And to have a conversation on how to spend that money, you betcha. I'm open for that, right, as a whole. But we've got to really do that as a team to find out, hey, are we going to have to put some more money into nutrition? I know they're doing a great job. Is it going to cost us more money for transportation? So globally, you betcha. Because I think that's important. That's a big chunk of money that we're getting in.

1717
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:36,500
we welcome back in August. We're trying to set up a meeting, a second meeting in August. We have

1718
02:25:36,500 --> 02:25:40,920
one on the six, but we're trying to set up a second one to discuss specifically budget,

1719
02:25:41,460 --> 02:25:45,200
and facilities, and the four million dollars that we're getting to discuss that.

1720
02:25:46,620 --> 02:25:52,520
We're collecting a list now. A lot of it has to do with the sanitation practices, but definitely

1721
02:25:52,520 --> 02:25:57,640
we'll bring it back to the board. We're definitely want to come discuss it with the board. And just as

1722
02:25:57,640 --> 02:26:05,780
side note. I like that idea, and I love our community partners that we work with with child care.

1723
02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:14,340
The only issue is the money has to all be spent by December, so yeah, that is. Materials,

1724
02:26:14,680 --> 02:26:19,680
yes, I like to materials absolutely, because if you start doing it, putting that money into

1725
02:26:19,680 --> 02:26:24,760
staff, you can't sustain it, obviously. But we will talk about it in August. We want to bring

1726
02:26:24,760 --> 02:26:26,600
back to the board and have conversations.

1727
02:26:26,840 --> 02:26:29,780
So knowing that, do you have to hear from the rest of the board, are you good with that?

1728
02:26:29,880 --> 02:26:31,200
Can I just say one thing about it?

1729
02:26:31,400 --> 02:26:32,000
Sure, Michael.

1730
02:26:37,280 --> 02:26:37,680
Oh, there we go.

1731
02:26:39,420 --> 02:26:40,140
Thank you.

1732
02:26:41,340 --> 02:26:46,060
Mike, the only thing I want to say about that, I mean, I think it's potentially got some great

1733
02:26:46,800 --> 02:26:54,340
ideas in there and maybe during that time, because you have it in your head, you thought about this a lot.

1734
02:26:54,340 --> 02:26:59,420
It wasn't super understandable, exactly on a granular level.

1735
02:26:59,680 --> 02:27:00,360
I kind of what you meant.

1736
02:27:00,980 --> 02:27:02,380
So maybe like any of us, can I mean,

1737
02:27:02,680 --> 02:27:05,220
maybe make an appointment with Jane and sit down with her

1738
02:27:05,220 --> 02:27:08,020
and try to explain what your vision is.

1739
02:27:08,760 --> 02:27:11,000
And then when it comes in August, when we talk about it,

1740
02:27:11,360 --> 02:27:14,340
then her team will actually be aware of it.

1741
02:27:21,580 --> 02:27:23,020
Sean, thank you.

1742
02:27:25,230 --> 02:27:27,510
So I want to start out with seeing something I've said before,

1743
02:27:27,670 --> 02:27:29,610
but I think it's worth mentioning again

1744
02:27:29,610 --> 02:27:38,350
And that is that I think we all have to recognize as passionate as we all are about certain aspects of moving forward.

1745
02:27:38,830 --> 02:27:45,250
This isn't something that any of us chose. This isn't something that any of us anticipated or planned for.

1746
02:27:45,490 --> 02:27:49,770
So this is really really building the plane so to speak as we're flying it.

1747
02:27:49,990 --> 02:27:52,590
So I want to really mention that.

1748
02:27:52,870 --> 02:27:56,510
I do though think it's important to put some context because I think numbers,

1749
02:27:57,310 --> 02:28:02,490
the problem that concern I have with with this COVID issue and I need to explain this to

1750
02:28:02,490 --> 02:28:07,310
explain to you that why this plan doesn't work for me and I can't support it and what

1751
02:28:07,310 --> 02:28:14,070
I am asking for for me personally as a board member but I think so I looked at the numbers

1752
02:28:14,070 --> 02:28:18,710
and they did change I had to redo my math real quick so forgive me because math was not my best

1753
02:28:18,710 --> 02:28:23,270
subject so my numbers might be a little off I tried to round up right I am mathematically challenged

1754
02:28:23,270 --> 02:28:26,310
So Brenda's watching, you know, correct me later.

1755
02:28:27,210 --> 02:28:28,350
But that you've already heard the numbers,

1756
02:28:28,550 --> 02:28:30,890
but I think when you put in context of percentage.

1757
02:28:31,150 --> 02:28:35,110
So in Soleno County, as of today, the latest information,

1758
02:28:35,650 --> 02:28:40,490
rounding up the no-infection rate is 0.5% to 1.5%.

1759
02:28:40,490 --> 02:28:41,250
Infection rate.

1760
02:28:41,910 --> 02:28:44,930
The mortality rate is 0.007%.

1761
02:28:44,930 --> 02:28:45,910
In Soleno County.

1762
02:28:47,030 --> 02:28:47,570
What's that?

1763
02:28:50,070 --> 02:28:51,010
It just said five percent.

1764
02:28:52,830 --> 02:28:54,190
You're not Brenda, you have to be quiet.

1765
02:28:55,150 --> 02:28:55,210
All right.

1766
02:28:55,710 --> 02:29:00,210
Let's just say six percent infection rate. I mean, I guess the point that I'm making here,

1767
02:29:00,310 --> 02:29:05,650
I don't want to minimize the impact that this, that this virus has had on the community,

1768
02:29:05,930 --> 02:29:11,390
on the nation, and there's been deaths. But I also think that you need to put context to

1769
02:29:12,910 --> 02:29:18,410
what the trends are that we're seeing. And I want to read a couple things here because, and I want

1770
02:29:18,410 --> 02:29:24,010
prefaces by saying we've had a lot of conversation debate about the science and the problem is

1771
02:29:24,490 --> 02:29:29,290
from this perspective what's really difficult is I hear different things from different

1772
02:29:30,290 --> 02:29:34,890
organizations and there are organizations that in the past I've always thought were kind of

1773
02:29:35,350 --> 02:29:40,250
trustworthy so it is difficult to fair it out what is accurate was not

1774
02:29:42,210 --> 02:29:48,390
so I want to be this and this all comes from the American Academy of Pediatrics and this is a

1775
02:29:48,390 --> 02:29:51,850
from from what they recently put out with regard to reopening schools.

1776
02:29:52,470 --> 02:29:56,430
They said that although children and adolescents play a major role in amplifying

1777
02:29:56,430 --> 02:29:59,970
amplifying influenza outbreaks, today this does not appear to be...

1778
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:06,340
To be the case with SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19. Although many questions remain, the preponderance of evidence indicates

1779
02:30:06,340 --> 02:30:11,900
that children and adolescents are less likely to be symptomatic and less likely to have severe disease

1780
02:30:11,900 --> 02:30:16,960
resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, children may be less likely to become infected

1781
02:30:16,960 --> 02:30:21,760
into spread infection. Makes sense, because they don't have the symptoms, so if they're asymptomatic,

1782
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:26,200
they're not coughing and sneezing. It doesn't mean that they're not potentially going to transmit, right?

1783
02:30:26,720 --> 02:30:31,500
I've made the comment before, there's no such thing as zero risk, zero risk doesn't exist anywhere.

1784
02:30:31,920 --> 02:30:35,220
I mean, we're all at risk of something in some way, okay?

1785
02:30:36,920 --> 02:30:39,180
There's a couple other things that I think is important here.

1786
02:30:39,180 --> 02:30:42,180
This is also from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

1787
02:30:43,480 --> 02:30:46,460
And they say, haven't it suggests that spacing is close to three feet,

1788
02:30:46,460 --> 02:30:50,420
may approach the benefits of six feet of space, particularly if students are worried

1789
02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:52,140
face coverings in our asymptomatic.

1790
02:30:52,140 --> 02:30:59,300
School should weigh the benefits of strict adherence to a six-feet spacing rule between students with the potential downside

1791
02:30:59,300 --> 02:31:02,300
if remote learning is the only alternative.

1792
02:31:02,920 --> 02:31:08,780
Stricted here to a specific size of student groups, and they give the example of 10 per class, 15 per class,

1793
02:31:09,020 --> 02:31:13,080
should be discouraged in favor of other risk mitigation strategies.

1794
02:31:13,600 --> 02:31:20,240
Given what is known about transmission dynamics, adults and adults staff within school should attempt to maintain a distance of six feet

1795
02:31:20,240 --> 02:31:22,340
from other persons as much as possible,

1796
02:31:22,340 --> 02:31:23,920
particularly around other adult staff.

1797
02:31:24,460 --> 02:31:26,820
So there is a distinction between

1798
02:31:26,820 --> 02:31:29,920
what's safer for adults versus what's safer for students.

1799
02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:31,820
And I think that's an important distinction

1800
02:31:31,820 --> 02:31:34,080
because there is a difference between

1801
02:31:34,080 --> 02:31:36,820
staff, safety, and student safety.

1802
02:31:36,960 --> 02:31:39,160
And I kind of feel like we really haven't done

1803
02:31:39,160 --> 02:31:41,760
a lot of discussion around those differences

1804
02:31:41,760 --> 02:31:43,820
because they are very important, they are very distinct.

1805
02:31:44,680 --> 02:31:47,700
And I'm not an expert, and I think several of us have said that,

1806
02:31:47,700 --> 02:31:52,400
But these folks, our experts, I mean, they're pediatricians, I'm assuming they're experts,

1807
02:31:52,400 --> 02:31:53,600
if they're not, we're all in trouble.

1808
02:31:53,900 --> 02:31:55,140
And this is what they are saying.

1809
02:31:55,960 --> 02:31:59,900
Now, I also want to kind of refer back to the parent study.

1810
02:32:00,100 --> 02:32:06,500
And by the way, I want to say something to the staff and specifically to the teachers, because

1811
02:32:06,500 --> 02:32:07,720
we've gotten a lot of emails.

1812
02:32:07,720 --> 02:32:10,620
And I think there was a comment tonight about not returning emails.

1813
02:32:11,560 --> 02:32:15,240
I don't think it's humanly possible to return the amount of emails that we get.

1814
02:32:15,240 --> 02:32:17,780
It's just not without a boilerplate, you know, thanks.

1815
02:32:18,020 --> 02:32:19,160
I mean, it just there's so many.

1816
02:32:19,580 --> 02:32:21,160
But a lot of teachers have sent emails

1817
02:32:21,160 --> 02:32:24,200
and their concerns are around opening schools at 100%.

1818
02:32:24,200 --> 02:32:26,920
Just open them up, open the doors, and it's back to normal.

1819
02:32:28,240 --> 02:32:29,180
I'll just speak for me here.

1820
02:32:29,180 --> 02:32:31,920
I don't think anybody has said back to normal

1821
02:32:31,920 --> 02:32:35,600
because I don't think there's no normal right now.

1822
02:32:35,600 --> 02:32:37,780
There's not gonna be back to normal.

1823
02:32:38,260 --> 02:32:40,400
There's been a lot of use of this term,

1824
02:32:40,600 --> 02:32:43,460
new normal, and I think to a large extent, that's true.

1825
02:32:44,300 --> 02:32:56,600
So, we've heard that, you know, COVID probably is a year to two years, if at all, from disappearing, and even if it does, if it, we may see a COVID season like we'd like me do a flu season.

1826
02:32:56,640 --> 02:33:07,600
That's what I think Dr. Rim said. Some other experts have said, because they don't know how long the antibodies prevent you or if they even do prevent you from getting reinfected.

1827
02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:12,020
we're so far away from a vaccine, if we have one, with antibodies, we don't know what that means

1828
02:33:12,020 --> 02:33:17,460
and if that protects you and if so for how long. So, those things, those concepts of a vaccine

1829
02:33:18,180 --> 02:33:23,500
being being kind of, this is the time that things are going to be safe. That's so far down the road

1830
02:33:23,920 --> 02:33:30,360
that we don't know if that even comes, comes through the fruition. So, I'm not suggesting,

1831
02:33:30,700 --> 02:33:34,620
and I don't think anybody has, we just throw up on the doors, go back to the way life was

1832
02:33:34,620 --> 02:33:47,520
that I can February because I don't think that's possible and I think that that might be the message that staff heard from some of us and maybe specifically for me and that wasn't what I was attending to.

1833
02:33:48,540 --> 02:33:59,000
Convict but what I am advocating for I'm looking at the parent survey and I'm looking at the things that I just read the differences between the infection rates and the risk for students.

1834
02:34:00,220 --> 02:34:02,680
versus step, okay, knowing that there's a difference.

1835
02:34:03,380 --> 02:34:05,940
So I'm not suggesting that staff and teachers

1836
02:34:05,940 --> 02:34:08,720
are going to be teaching regardless if it's one day a week

1837
02:34:08,720 --> 02:34:11,760
or five days a week in the same methodology,

1838
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:15,220
the same manner in the same circumstances as they were

1839
02:34:15,220 --> 02:34:17,760
before this all started, because that's not the case.

1840
02:34:18,380 --> 02:34:21,320
But I'm looking here and I'm looking at the parent survey

1841
02:34:21,320 --> 02:34:24,220
and it says the question is, if VSD started school

1842
02:34:24,220 --> 02:34:27,100
with all students full time with no social distancing,

1843
02:34:27,100 --> 02:34:29,760
But with precautions in place, what would you choose?

1844
02:34:30,720 --> 02:34:38,640
59.7 or 3,000, 60 nice folks said we want to come back to school, and we want to come back full time.

1845
02:34:40,770 --> 02:34:48,350
So I guess my frustration to this whole thing is, if that is the case, I understand this 50% model, except that we've really looked at.

1846
02:34:48,630 --> 02:34:49,550
And I understand why.

1847
02:34:50,390 --> 02:34:55,550
But my concern is, I understand the state, and I've heard a lot of comments about the state.

1848
02:34:55,550 --> 02:34:59,890
And if you know me, you know how I feel about the state of California, so I'm just going to put that out there.

1849
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:09,260
However, the State of California is making a decision that applies as equal to San Diego, as it does to us, as it does to humble.

1850
02:35:09,920 --> 02:35:15,220
For 39 to 40 million people, I don't know what the current, that's, that's, that's things are very different in different places.

1851
02:35:15,700 --> 02:35:26,520
So there is no one size fits all in this size of a state. So what the state says to me, it's, it's important, it's interesting, but it does not necessarily apply in every community.

1852
02:35:27,640 --> 02:35:34,140
specifically in ours because I just talked about the data here locally. So before I get

1853
02:35:34,140 --> 02:35:39,760
to what I'm asking for tonight, I'm kind of making one last plea for it because I think

1854
02:35:39,760 --> 02:35:40,480
it's important.

1855
02:35:43,180 --> 02:35:48,000
You have to remember that we exist as a local governing body for a reason.

1856
02:35:48,400 --> 02:35:53,160
There's a reason why there's local governance because it isn't a one-size-fits-all. It is

1857
02:35:53,160 --> 02:35:55,820
Sacramento dictates for the entire state of California.

1858
02:35:56,460 --> 02:35:58,400
If that were the case, there would be no differences,

1859
02:35:59,280 --> 02:36:00,960
and maybe some people would like to live that way.

1860
02:36:01,180 --> 02:36:01,440
I wouldn't.

1861
02:36:01,620 --> 02:36:03,600
I think it's very important to have local leaders

1862
02:36:03,600 --> 02:36:05,920
that are accountable to people that live in the communities

1863
02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:09,040
that can react to circumstances in their community.

1864
02:36:09,460 --> 02:36:11,320
And that's what I'm suggesting here,

1865
02:36:11,480 --> 02:36:14,180
is that we need to react to what's happening in our community.

1866
02:36:14,820 --> 02:36:15,660
We are not New York.

1867
02:36:15,740 --> 02:36:16,420
We are not LA.

1868
02:36:16,500 --> 02:36:17,600
Could we get to that point?

1869
02:36:17,760 --> 02:36:18,520
Yes, we could.

1870
02:36:19,060 --> 02:36:20,380
I hope and pray we don't.

1871
02:36:20,820 --> 02:36:22,520
And if we do, we have to react to that.

1872
02:36:22,520 --> 02:36:27,860
But the other side of things that I don't take a long time, but this is important to me.

1873
02:36:28,760 --> 02:36:35,620
You have to consider that at what point are we going to continue to change our lives to

1874
02:36:35,620 --> 02:36:39,280
such a degree that we're negatively impacting ourselves, not just financially.

1875
02:36:40,180 --> 02:36:43,620
We are losing education that we may not be able to get back.

1876
02:36:43,720 --> 02:36:46,520
I mean at some point, we're not going to be able to reverse that.

1877
02:36:46,520 --> 02:36:51,720
You know, we are losing students to depression.

1878
02:36:51,940 --> 02:36:58,460
We are losing social interaction that is causing depression that is causing a lack of social

1879
02:36:58,460 --> 02:36:59,180
skills.

1880
02:36:59,840 --> 02:37:01,720
And believe me, we don't need that right now.

1881
02:37:02,780 --> 02:37:05,860
So what point is that sacrifice worth it?

1882
02:37:05,860 --> 02:37:06,940
And I don't have the answer.

1883
02:37:07,080 --> 02:37:12,120
I mean, in large part, that's rhetorical, but I will say this.

1884
02:37:12,120 --> 02:37:23,340
At some point we have to decide what is essential, what is critical, and what is a risk that is necessary to maintain our society, our lifestyle, and our way of life that we want.

1885
02:37:25,040 --> 02:37:31,980
It's a really bad place to be, and it's a really tough decision to be in, but at the end of the day, that's what this decision is part of here.

1886
02:37:32,480 --> 02:37:36,280
Okay, so we really have to decide what is essential, what is critical.

1887
02:37:36,760 --> 02:37:47,520
Now that's quite easy for me to say because I've been in a career field for the last 29 years that is quote unquote essential so I've never had the choice of not going to work because of something and I'm not trying to make

1888
02:37:47,520 --> 02:37:56,880
light of those that have it but you know I never thought that truck drivers and that that people that work in in in delivery professions and in in

1889
02:37:56,880 --> 02:38:04,260
warehouses would be essential and at risk and have to put themselves at risk to maintain life and society but that's what happened

1890
02:38:04,260 --> 02:38:05,640
And that's what those people had to do.

1891
02:38:05,640 --> 02:38:06,580
And that's what they did.

1892
02:38:07,880 --> 02:38:11,820
So I think that the balance here is for what I'm asking

1893
02:38:11,820 --> 02:38:14,200
for teachers, for staff, and for everybody

1894
02:38:14,200 --> 02:38:16,200
to really ask yourselves, and dig deep,

1895
02:38:16,520 --> 02:38:20,280
what is the point when education, to bring it back

1896
02:38:20,280 --> 02:38:23,060
to work on that tonight is so important that we need

1897
02:38:23,060 --> 02:38:27,880
to take some degree of risk with precautions

1898
02:38:28,560 --> 02:38:31,280
that are as strict as we can possibly make them

1899
02:38:31,280 --> 02:38:35,320
to protect ourselves to the maximum possibility, right?

1900
02:38:36,580 --> 02:38:41,060
So what I'm asking for, I'm saying all that for this, for this, what I'm asking for is if it's true

1901
02:38:41,060 --> 02:38:44,740
that let's round this number, because I like to round that because numbers, I don't like numbers,

1902
02:38:44,820 --> 02:38:46,440
any way, so I'm bad with them, so I had to round that.

1903
02:38:46,760 --> 02:38:49,780
So let's just say, six percent of parents say, man, we've got to center kids that.

1904
02:38:50,460 --> 02:38:55,900
I would be one of those parents. And by the way, I'm married to somebody who is immunocompromised.

1905
02:38:56,740 --> 02:39:00,560
You could argue that I am. I have asthma, and I'm on a medication now for

1906
02:39:00,560 --> 02:39:03,000
or something that actually suppresses your immune system.

1907
02:39:03,260 --> 02:39:07,320
So I kind of understand them, not to the degree of the lot of folks.

1908
02:39:07,820 --> 02:39:09,100
I don't want to get that twisted.

1909
02:39:09,460 --> 02:39:12,080
But if 60% said, we need to send a contact to school,

1910
02:39:12,220 --> 02:39:14,460
then why can't we find the compromise of,

1911
02:39:14,460 --> 02:39:16,480
because there are going to be kids that shouldn't come back to school.

1912
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:18,260
They are immunocompromised.

1913
02:39:19,020 --> 02:39:22,060
They have folks in their home that are immunocompromised,

1914
02:39:22,140 --> 02:39:23,720
that they should not be exposed to.

1915
02:39:24,200 --> 02:39:26,120
There are staff that are in the same position.

1916
02:39:27,500 --> 02:39:29,240
So I think we need to find that balance

1917
02:39:29,240 --> 02:39:34,940
of giving parents that respect of making the choice and giving students the respect of choosing

1918
02:39:34,940 --> 02:39:39,280
what's right for them and what risk level because of the end of the day whatever decision

1919
02:39:39,280 --> 02:39:44,500
this board makes we are making the decision for people and if we if we choose one of these options

1920
02:39:44,500 --> 02:39:50,820
then parents don't have the choice to send their kids to school five days a week or whatever they choose

1921
02:39:50,820 --> 02:39:57,320
whatever they feel comfortable doing and and quite frankly as a parent I have a huge issue with that

1922
02:39:57,320 --> 02:39:59,760
And I think it goes against the local government concepts, so.

1923
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:27,660
I'm asking for if we have 60% that say I want to send my kid back to school, then why can't we come up with a plan that says 60% five days a week? Let's figure it out. I mean, I understand for staff, that's easy for me to say, right? I get it. And maybe it isn't six feet, maybe it's more along lines of, because again, are we saying six feet for adults and six feet for kids, but we have pediatrician saying, well, maybe six feet isn't totally necessary for kids, but it sure is for adults.

1924
02:40:28,600 --> 02:40:49,840
So I just think there's a compromise in your somewhere because at some point people have to be able to decide for themselves and exercise the freedom that so far we still have in this country to be able to decide at what point do I get to live my life and at what point is I able to make that choice so that's it from even

1925
02:40:58,460 --> 02:41:23,800
So two things to I guess and yes but I also am wondering that says to go curve in like that there's not a plan to show people to take that vote. So again I just thought that this reconsider our time frame even if it's like we have another meeting next week because we're going to have to do some hard work to make some hard decisions. So over the vote flashes out I just say I would be it's just as important to me and everybody else up here, but I agree with Sean.

1926
02:41:23,800 --> 02:41:26,120
I don't care if we have to meet every day so we sort it out.

1927
02:41:26,420 --> 02:41:27,620
I think our kids are that important.

1928
02:41:27,660 --> 02:41:29,460
Our teachers are everybody involved.

1929
02:41:29,800 --> 02:41:32,640
Our community deserves for us to figure this out.

1930
02:41:33,100 --> 02:41:36,060
So I just want to say that I want to add some more stuff

1931
02:41:36,060 --> 02:41:37,100
because there's been a lot of questions

1932
02:41:37,100 --> 02:41:38,520
of like everybody's doing it.

1933
02:41:38,840 --> 02:41:40,760
So I just look up, everybody can look up the Lance

1934
02:41:40,760 --> 02:41:42,800
at studying, I think, Sean's point.

1935
02:41:43,100 --> 02:41:44,520
I guess I'm sorry.

1936
02:41:44,700 --> 02:41:46,220
I will try to make it all mid-sentiment.

1937
02:41:46,660 --> 02:41:47,740
We're so much in there.

1938
02:41:48,460 --> 02:41:50,100
Can we have a special board workshop

1939
02:41:50,640 --> 02:41:52,960
at some point when the decision of how we go back to school

1940
02:41:52,960 --> 02:41:59,340
happens. Can we have a workshop around the budget, the COVID budget, an ancillary short-term

1941
02:41:59,340 --> 02:42:04,920
services or projects or pilots that we want to put in place to support whatever version

1942
02:42:04,920 --> 02:42:09,980
of how we go back to school. For that six months between now and December, right?

1943
02:42:10,360 --> 02:42:16,960
For that money. So that we can have great debate, get input and really brainstorm, like take

1944
02:42:16,960 --> 02:42:21,740
feedback front, right? I just think that it would be worthy of its own meeting. Meeting? So

1945
02:42:21,740 --> 02:42:25,720
we can talk about feasibility and need to, to Don's Point.

1946
02:42:27,180 --> 02:42:28,740
Absolutely, I'm free Saturday.

1947
02:42:29,140 --> 02:42:29,480
Cool, all day.

1948
02:42:29,840 --> 02:42:31,300
I will be here if you tell me to be.

1949
02:42:31,540 --> 02:42:32,620
So I just want to throw that out there

1950
02:42:32,620 --> 02:42:34,420
that I feel like we have an urgency to do that

1951
02:42:34,420 --> 02:42:35,280
so that,

1952
02:42:35,640 --> 02:42:38,620
no, I'm talking not important meeting.

1953
02:42:38,620 --> 02:42:39,940
I'm talking about a special board workshop

1954
02:42:39,940 --> 02:42:41,800
so because we are talkers and thinkers

1955
02:42:41,800 --> 02:42:44,120
and askers and we need time.

1956
02:42:45,720 --> 02:42:49,400
And, you know, I also defer to President John Johnson.

1957
02:42:49,400 --> 02:42:56,440
If that's something you want to set up, I mean, well, I'll do a straw poll again.

1958
02:42:57,420 --> 02:42:58,720
So, but you can be mad, it's okay.

1959
02:42:59,020 --> 02:42:59,480
I'm not mad.

1960
02:42:59,820 --> 02:43:00,040
Oh, no.

1961
02:43:00,560 --> 02:43:08,400
Just Tracy, for clarification, so we're saying a board workshop to discuss the plan overall.

1962
02:43:09,340 --> 02:43:13,380
The details, the minutes, the stuff that we aren't talking about tonight, but that all

1963
02:43:13,380 --> 02:43:17,400
there's lots of questions, people are going to have lots of questions on implementation.

1964
02:43:17,400 --> 02:43:22,240
And ancillary service is to support how we're successful when we go best.

1965
02:43:22,320 --> 02:43:23,640
I think that deserves a meeting.

1966
02:43:23,800 --> 02:43:25,760
So I just want to put, we don't have to decide that right now.

1967
02:43:25,860 --> 02:43:29,800
But before the night's over, maybe decide if we can have a workshop about that.

1968
02:43:30,420 --> 02:43:32,440
And then go ahead.

1969
02:43:34,510 --> 02:43:34,790
Michael.

1970
02:43:37,730 --> 02:43:44,290
I am for the meeting that you were talking about because 4.7 million is a lot of money

1971
02:43:44,290 --> 02:43:46,930
that has to be spent in a very short period of time.

1972
02:43:46,930 --> 02:43:51,970
And I think you definitely need input from the board based on what you bring forward.

1973
02:43:52,310 --> 02:44:01,030
But I am very wary about if we go and give you the, if we say, go with it.

1974
02:44:01,170 --> 02:44:02,750
You know, here's, we're going to vote on this plan.

1975
02:44:02,950 --> 02:44:06,070
Go for it. Then come back and pick apart the plan.

1976
02:44:06,370 --> 02:44:08,770
The minutia of the plan that you put together.

1977
02:44:08,770 --> 02:44:11,150
I'm kind of uncomfortable with that. I mean, it's not.

1978
02:44:11,850 --> 02:44:15,410
So I'm going to explain my logic, so my logic is we're doing that right now.

1979
02:44:16,150 --> 02:44:17,650
We didn't sit at the table in the committee.

1980
02:44:17,970 --> 02:44:21,890
People put a lot of work in effort in the committee, spun their wheels, they had this

1981
02:44:21,890 --> 02:44:25,030
debate, but we weren't there, so we didn't give their input on the front end of the debate.

1982
02:44:25,450 --> 02:44:26,170
So we didn't do that.

1983
02:44:26,410 --> 02:44:30,010
And then we're still, it's pulling the part of plan that we weren't part.

1984
02:44:30,150 --> 02:44:34,210
So if we have a war workshop, we give our opinions, then they can take that, take the needs

1985
02:44:34,210 --> 02:44:37,690
of the district and bring a plan that has input without having to go back to the drawing

1986
02:44:37,690 --> 02:44:40,410
board like we're pretty much, potentially asking them to do tonight.

1987
02:44:40,410 --> 02:44:41,690
We'll see one more.

1988
02:44:42,650 --> 02:44:43,090
Can I.

1989
02:44:43,570 --> 02:44:44,950
But I, I will paint you.

1990
02:44:44,950 --> 02:44:45,670
Mr. Sean.

1991
02:44:48,250 --> 02:44:52,050
Tracy, I know I, I agree with you that we probably need to have comp those conversations,

1992
02:44:52,050 --> 02:44:58,510
but I think tonight I think one of the things that just for me that I'm concerned about is, I think tonight we need to decide.

1993
02:44:58,750 --> 02:44:59,970
Why don't just either on this plan.

1994
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:16,860
Or what we're going to direct the district to do, then I think we have those conversations, because I think a lot of the conversations and ideas that have come from Mr. Sullivan from you, I mean, they're great, but before we get to that, we need to decide what are we going to direct, as far as we're opening plan, and then I think that's a good.

1995
02:45:16,900 --> 02:45:19,800
That's one of the records, so whatever the plan is, we can have the money and conversations.

1996
02:45:20,060 --> 02:45:21,080
Think a lot of that.

1997
02:45:21,280 --> 02:45:27,120
We'll come from them once we give them direction, whichever way it goes, and they can start working on the, I'm just one.

1998
02:45:27,120 --> 02:45:33,200
as you call it. But once we pick a direction, then they can move forward from there.

1999
02:45:33,480 --> 02:45:38,400
Okay. So what I wanted to say though too, is that was just a request. But that look up the lens is study.

2000
02:45:38,500 --> 02:45:45,240
And I think that Sean hit the nail in head. That it is different levels of risk because there are 82 countries.

2001
02:45:45,540 --> 02:45:51,140
I think it was, yeah, 82 healthcare institutions over 25 European countries through the month of April.

2002
02:45:51,420 --> 02:45:54,920
When they were at their peak, studied pediatric response to COVID.

2003
02:45:54,920 --> 02:45:59,660
So there is data out there. There is information out there. And it does matter because we solve

2004
02:45:59,660 --> 02:46:03,380
different problems. So I'm with everybody else. This point, I guess we're just going to

2005
02:46:03,380 --> 02:46:07,680
call this vote at some point and let's just card follow their results.

2006
02:46:08,240 --> 02:46:10,840
Watch for the angle man. I did not pass.

2007
02:46:12,120 --> 02:46:14,680
Yeah, you don't have your phone. I have a question for you.

2008
02:46:17,720 --> 02:46:24,260
Just like in school no phones allow. That's all right. Hey, a couple questions came up around

2009
02:46:24,260 --> 02:46:31,340
AP tonight. It's kind of important. Now, when they're done, I take, if we were to go 50%,

2010
02:46:31,340 --> 02:46:38,780
I take an AP class. My first semester does that go all the way through the years or is that

2011
02:46:38,780 --> 02:46:44,340
that one block and I'm done with my AP class? Well, they would have the second semester,

2012
02:46:44,420 --> 02:46:54,240
either another nine week block or if we're back to more normal than they'd have the

2013
02:46:54,240 --> 02:47:00,360
What was proposed if we can take it for a year they would get another nine weeks of that AP class

2014
02:47:00,360 --> 02:47:02,980
Because those are all in a row

2015
02:47:04,180 --> 02:47:09,940
No, so they would get if they did it the first nine weeks by weeks then the second nine weeks

2016
02:47:09,940 --> 02:47:14,700
They're taking other classes. So they would get a break in there. Yeah, and then the third nine weeks

2017
02:47:14,700 --> 02:47:21,640
They would take it again. Okay, I had some questions on transportation, but I think that'll be figured out once but

2018
02:47:21,640 --> 02:47:25,940
Whichever way we go on that the plan and then on the

2019
02:47:25,940 --> 02:47:31,740
Special ed I had some questions that you guys had answered. Thank you very much, but

2020
02:47:31,740 --> 02:47:39,060
If someone needs to get pulled out for resource is that gonna be done during this this block time that they're in there

2021
02:47:39,060 --> 02:47:41,200
Are they gonna be expected to stay after?

2022
02:47:42,100 --> 02:47:45,400
What's what's the oh, sorry, they'll go ahead. What's it?

2023
02:47:45,400 --> 02:47:50,820
I think it's gonna depend and so we want to make sure that for all students with IEPs

2024
02:47:50,820 --> 02:47:55,720
We maximize the amount of special admits that they have on their IEP, that they have access

2025
02:47:55,720 --> 02:47:57,080
to as much of those as possible.

2026
02:47:58,160 --> 02:48:03,000
So once we have a plan and interaction moving forward, principles and case managers are going

2027
02:48:03,000 --> 02:48:08,240
to have to look at schedules and figure out how we're going to operate our resource programs

2028
02:48:08,240 --> 02:48:10,520
for the elementary students.

2029
02:48:10,740 --> 02:48:14,400
It's a little bit different because they are pulled out typically or push in support in

2030
02:48:14,400 --> 02:48:14,860
the classroom.

2031
02:48:15,520 --> 02:48:20,300
And so wanting to make sure we work with families, there may be some students that do stay

2032
02:48:20,300 --> 02:48:26,620
after their general ed time or maybe they come before their general ed time with that flexibility.

2033
02:48:27,440 --> 02:48:31,020
So I think just like resource teachers do at the beginning of every school year they'll take

2034
02:48:31,020 --> 02:48:36,340
into account their case load figure out where those students are all attending class what time

2035
02:48:37,040 --> 02:48:40,600
and then work out groups and then work with families to be able to do that.

2036
02:48:40,980 --> 02:48:44,480
For our house for secondary it's a little bit different because our resource classes are typically

2037
02:48:44,480 --> 02:48:49,080
periods. So if they're getting their resource minutes in their first period class

2038
02:48:49,080 --> 02:48:51,060
and they will have that the first nine weeks,

2039
02:48:51,500 --> 02:48:53,360
and they typically take a blend of general-headed

2040
02:48:53,360 --> 02:48:55,900
special ed classes at the secondary level.

2041
02:48:55,960 --> 02:48:56,760
So I think it's all right.

2042
02:48:57,120 --> 02:48:58,400
Yeah, thank you, Sasha.

2043
02:49:02,460 --> 02:49:03,340
Michael, you're on the list.

2044
02:49:03,360 --> 02:49:03,960
Did you want to speak?

2045
02:49:04,160 --> 02:49:05,380
Here's your mic, just don't go.

2046
02:49:05,600 --> 02:49:06,240
I'm good.

2047
02:49:06,480 --> 02:49:06,720
OK.

2048
02:49:07,220 --> 02:49:08,660
And Ed, I'm good.

2049
02:49:09,720 --> 02:49:11,700
Thank you very much for coming up.

2050
02:49:14,200 --> 02:49:14,880
Any other questions?

2051
02:49:24,810 --> 02:49:28,410
I think that kids can be very resilient.

2052
02:49:28,410 --> 02:49:37,150
One of the things that I've learned serving on this board is, you know, again, we're around

2053
02:49:37,150 --> 02:49:43,110
our own clinical circles, and I think many times that just that really excludes us from being able

2054
02:49:43,110 --> 02:49:48,550
to look at things from a different point of view, and while kids go through a lot, I think

2055
02:49:49,070 --> 02:49:54,410
that there's many ways that we as a community can come together to help address those needs,

2056
02:49:54,410 --> 02:49:58,630
where the time the term was all hands-on deck, right?

2057
02:49:59,010 --> 02:49:59,970
So I think...

2058
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:11,580
Throughout America's history, we've had many tragic events. I remember as a kid, I've seen the 1989 earthquake, people showed up to help people out.

2059
02:50:12,020 --> 02:50:21,140
I've seen issues where, you know, just neighbors coming around to help people out. I see now the country came together during 9-11.

2060
02:50:22,420 --> 02:50:27,200
For me, what I would hope to see within our community is how do we actually look out for each other?

2061
02:50:27,200 --> 02:50:34,680
And how do we find ways again to fill those gaps that we need as families to make sure that we as a community are still here?

2062
02:50:34,720 --> 02:50:43,000
Not that we have this divisiveness to where we're only focusing on our certain point of view and our certain interpretations.

2063
02:50:44,560 --> 02:50:56,480
And I think there's a great opportunity for us to really look at how do we actually help maintain that sense of community that we have here that we love, why we live here.

2064
02:50:56,480 --> 02:50:59,760
And how do we still make sure that our kids need their men?

2065
02:51:00,140 --> 02:51:02,420
And I think that in addition to that,

2066
02:51:03,680 --> 02:51:05,940
I struggle in high school for different reasons.

2067
02:51:06,720 --> 02:51:10,440
And one of the things that I learned that I take very well

2068
02:51:10,440 --> 02:51:14,940
that I learned from on this board was that being able to work

2069
02:51:14,940 --> 02:51:17,440
and earn something does there's value in that.

2070
02:51:17,440 --> 02:51:19,080
I do value work.

2071
02:51:20,920 --> 02:51:25,180
I value work and I value what comes out of that.

2072
02:51:25,180 --> 02:51:28,160
To me, I just, again, I see these not as barriers.

2073
02:51:28,840 --> 02:51:29,880
I've lived with many barriers.

2074
02:51:30,040 --> 02:51:32,900
I've lived with a lot of kids as younger.

2075
02:51:33,040 --> 02:51:36,040
I've seen true, true, deep, dark barriers.

2076
02:51:37,480 --> 02:51:39,740
And for me, again, I see this opportunity

2077
02:51:40,600 --> 02:51:43,800
for us to help address these barriers as a community.

2078
02:51:43,980 --> 02:51:47,780
And I think that should be the focus.

2079
02:51:48,980 --> 02:51:50,600
What we decide, how do we decide

2080
02:51:50,600 --> 02:51:52,300
to where we actually look out for each other?

2081
02:51:52,300 --> 02:51:53,760
How do we decide that?

2082
02:51:53,760 --> 02:51:57,620
How do we go about supporting as a community to take care of our neighbors?

2083
02:51:59,760 --> 02:52:05,160
And that's what I hope I would encourage everyone to really focus on as we move forward.

2084
02:52:07,720 --> 02:52:13,640
Okay, Ms. Shelley brought up a point that there's some people wanting to ask questions on Zoom,

2085
02:52:13,640 --> 02:52:18,600
and I'm just going to explain that once the comment cards were all taken,

2086
02:52:19,060 --> 02:52:20,320
it's not an open discussion.

2087
02:52:20,320 --> 02:52:26,180
So, although you may have questions, I'm sorry that that time has passed for that.

2088
02:52:27,060 --> 02:52:27,860
Where do I stand?

2089
02:52:28,760 --> 02:52:30,200
I think it's a difficult decision.

2090
02:52:30,440 --> 02:52:31,280
It's a no-win decision.

2091
02:52:31,380 --> 02:52:35,620
I'm not going to quote any numbers because they've all been quoted one way or the other.

2092
02:52:36,320 --> 02:52:41,980
Tonight, I am personally not comfortable with going back to 100%.

2093
02:52:41,980 --> 02:52:43,600
I think this may be a moot point.

2094
02:52:43,760 --> 02:52:46,260
No week or two if the government tells us we're going to do it.

2095
02:52:46,500 --> 02:52:47,440
And then we're mandated.

2096
02:52:47,760 --> 02:52:49,220
Then we do it and we move on.

2097
02:52:49,220 --> 02:52:57,060
That takes care of a couple of issues, if we're mandated to do it, then I'm sorry for the teachers that want that built in safety.

2098
02:52:57,060 --> 02:53:00,260
It's just not there for mandated to do it.

2099
02:53:00,420 --> 02:53:08,000
But we do have the option right now to offer some protection, not only to the teachers, but to the staff and social distancing is important.

2100
02:53:08,500 --> 02:53:17,360
And the only way we can deal with social distancing is by keeping them at 50% and going forward from there.

2101
02:53:17,360 --> 02:53:24,240
I've got a couple grandkids, regrets, and at Callison, and you know, I think with the social

2102
02:53:24,240 --> 02:53:30,640
distancing, I have no worries about sending them back at all, and that's basically kind

2103
02:53:30,640 --> 02:53:31,340
of where I stand.

2104
02:53:31,480 --> 02:53:36,540
For those emails I did respond to, you basically heard the same thing, there was nothing

2105
02:53:36,540 --> 02:53:37,620
really different there.

2106
02:53:38,300 --> 02:53:43,560
So with that, I'd like to make a motion to move forward with the plan as presented.

2107
02:53:45,080 --> 02:53:52,540
there's a motion by Janssen second by Kitsus roll call vote. Sorry questions before

2108
02:53:52,540 --> 02:53:56,660

This is a measure a item.

2126
02:54:55,430 --> 02:54:59,270
It's recommended the board approve the quote with CDI technologies in the amount

2127
02:54:59,270 --> 02:54:59,690
