1
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:13,400
Educational center, 1301 east orangethorpe avenue at 5:04 p.m. And with that, we're going

2
00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:23,566
to move into a study session. So I won't even mention blue cards yet because we have no

3
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:27,800
one here. Okay, I think you're right. You don't want to talk about this. This is just the

4
00:00:36,533 --> 00:00:36,533
study session. You're welcome to come in and sit and listen. Number one, for public comment.

5
00:00:42,066 --> 00:00:42,066
I know I, I think. We got a system. Just to call each other just for. I got plenty of

6
00:00:53,633 --> 00:00:53,633
people here on this. I think we're ready for study session. Go ahead and go. All right.

7
00:00:58,633 --> 00:00:58,633
thank you. Okay. To get us started, I gave you three examples of board

8
00:01:04,833 --> 00:01:04,833
superintendent working agreements. And I'll share some context of those. As I said, as

9
00:01:09,466 --> 00:01:09,466
I was passing them around, the first one I'll say was when I was a baby superintendent

10
00:01:15,633 --> 00:01:15,633
coming in and my board president and I were interested in just how do we begin to sort

11
00:01:22,866 --> 00:01:22,866
of make commitments to one another as far as our work together? And we went very

12
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:27,833
general, and it it worked really well for us. I will add that there are seven member

13
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,000
board, and as boards turned over, board style was they wanted things spelled out a

14
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:39,766
little bit more. So we brought everybody back together two years later, looked at it again,

15
00:01:45,866 --> 00:01:45,866
added some additional context there, and you can start to see just a general sort of theme of

16
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:52,666
commitments around, you know, how do we handle sharing information? What if there's

17
00:01:58,033 --> 00:01:58,033
some information that you want? What do I give it to everyone? How do you handle requests for

18
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,200
comments and things like that? Then interestingly, I will tell you, coming back to colorado in

19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,000
a smaller district, what I experienced, you'll see in the third one, that was a district

20
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:15,000
that was probably the most hands off board I have ever experienced in my career. And

21
00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:22,233
the context of that was like, this is what I need from you. I need the feedback. I need to

22
00:02:29,266 --> 00:02:29,266
make sure that I know I'm keeping you in the loop. I need to make sure you're prepared to

23
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,000
make decisions, some of those kinds of things, so you can see context in in those three

24
00:02:38,766 --> 00:02:38,766
different versions. Not that any of them are exactly right or exactly wrong. They were

25
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:42,800
right for the people they were intended to serve. And so I would say my hope would be we

26
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:48,133
engage in a conversation around, you know, what do you like? What do you want in a in an

27
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:53,133
agreement? What do you want an agreement between you and me? What do you want? An agreement

28
00:02:58,066 --> 00:02:58,066
between each other in terms of how we agree on how we're going to do our business together,

29
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:03,966
and how are we best structured to support one another in in this work? Because it also

30
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:10,133
helps me know how to guide my staff in terms of responding to questions that you guys have or

31
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:15,800
information you want, and or how we respond to whether it's media inquiries, etc. So I've

32
00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:21,933
given you examples. If you want to take just a couple of minutes and read through what

33
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,000
you have there, and then maybe we can just talk about the things you like in the

34
00:03:30,733 --> 00:03:30,733
agreements. And then from there we'll take notes on what do you see as missing, what would you

35
00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:35,833
like your agreement to have in it? What do you not like in any of these that you want to make

36
00:03:42,466 --> 00:03:42,466
sure that we call out and say, no, I don't I don't really like that piece. And that's okay too,

37
00:03:47,433 --> 00:03:47,433
because like I said, it depends on the board who it's intending to serve. So take a couple of

38
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:52,300
minutes, like I said, and take a look at it, see what you think. You can kind of see the

39
00:03:57,266 --> 00:03:57,266
progression of my thinking and the different boards that I worked with. Is that helpful

40
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:05,900
context? Okay.

41
00:04:29,533 --> 00:04:33,333
todd, I was explaining that these are three different time periods and three different boards in terms of working with folks as far as what they liked and what they

42
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:38,600
wanted in there. So you can kind of take a look and see. We can start with a what do you

43
00:04:43,633 --> 00:04:43,633
all sort of agree that you like in terms of language. And then from there, what do you want to

44
00:04:48,633 --> 00:04:48,633
add so that we can begin to sort of shape that. You okay. I fetish are. Obviously I'm

45
00:05:11,433 --> 00:05:11,433
assuming what we're talking about here is copy pasting or which format which I think

46
00:05:17,266 --> 00:05:20,933
we're talking about. If there are pieces in there that you like, for efficiency's sake, you like, I want that in our agreement. Okay, great. What are the ones you want in in

47
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:25,033
yours? These are just examples of me having worked through with boards and other, and I

48
00:05:29,466 --> 00:05:29,466
started out with borrowing other people's when I, when I began. And then I started

49
00:05:34,466 --> 00:05:34,466
having my own and board members depending on their style, like we had boards that wanted it

50
00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:40,333
more spelled out. And then you can see in the first one, as I was saying, when I was a baby

51
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:45,333
superintendent, we just sort of stayed at a very high level of altitude. And then when I had

52
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,200
the the board in archuleta, it was a board that I had to like ask people to participate in

53
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:55,700
things. And so the the spell out was a little bit more of a I, I need you to do your

54
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,400
homework. I need you to read through your stuff. I need you to give me feedback and that

55
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:05,833
kind of thing. So this is just three completely different styles of board depending on

56
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:10,300
the time and who I was working with. And you appropriate for board members were found in a

57
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:18,600
packet at the board meeting. I would prefer not. I just would prefer not. Number one. Yeah. I

58
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,200
was going to say I think that's in there somewhere. So yeah, none of these are meant to be

59
00:06:41,633 --> 00:06:41,633
like, take this one, it's ready to go. It's let's steal any language you really like and

60
00:06:46,066 --> 00:06:46,066
then write your own from there as to how you want to shape this up. But the help for me is

61
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:51,100
like how I lead my staff, how I show up for you, how I communicate all the things.

62
00:06:57,266 --> 00:06:57,266
this helps me have a roadmap. I like the one that's got more detail in it because it gives

63
00:07:06,266 --> 00:07:06,266
more guidance. The one thing that I, as I'm reading through a little bit, the utilized

64
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:11,600
professional practices and because of the way the bullets are, the when it starts, when a

65
00:07:18,766 --> 00:07:18,766
question, concern or complaint is voiced by an individual board member, I feel like there

66
00:07:24,566 --> 00:07:24,566
I'm missing like then what? So that's what we're utilizing professional practices when or

67
00:07:31,133 --> 00:07:31,133
we're avoiding surprises. Do you see what I mean? Yes, because it's under that it

68
00:07:36,833 --> 00:07:36,833
seems like it's just not completely developed. We could add to it. Yeah. I on the side

69
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:45,800
of too much detail the problem, because if we get too detailed in how you're supposed to

70
00:07:52,666 --> 00:07:52,666
respond in these kind of situations, there's there's a lot of nuance in all of this.

71
00:07:59,500 --> 00:07:59,500
so elected officials. So. Well, no, I mean, this is saying how she's going to respond. I like

72
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:07,166
the details personally, just because there's everything's laid out, there's no surprises.

73
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,200
there's no questions. It's everything's laid out the way it is. So I, I like the more

74
00:08:21,133 --> 00:08:21,133
detailed one just so there's like you said, no surprises. I like the archuleta one.

75
00:08:29,433 --> 00:08:29,433
thinking there will be no surprises is extremely crazy. It says avoid it doesn't say no,

76
00:08:34,766 --> 00:08:34,766
it just minimize the possible. It does say no surprises. And I was like, come on. Ideally no

77
00:08:40,933 --> 00:08:40,933
surprises. Yeah. Well I think there you see the evolution of thinking it went from no

78
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:45,600
surprises to avoid surprises as much as possible. But because your point is, you know, you

79
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:53,133
can't absolute guarantee. But as far as looping me in, me looping you in where you're not

80
00:08:58,933 --> 00:08:58,933
caught flat footed is also part of it too, is making sure that I communicate that with you. So

81
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:10,100
I heard people do like some of the language in archuleta. Do you first line, do you like it?

82
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:16,300
do you not like it? Do you want to say something different? Mission and goals above

83
00:09:20,933 --> 00:09:20,933
personal interests. Perfect. Yeah. What does that mean? It means that when we're making

84
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:28,800
decisions in the best interest of the district and or kids, even if I care greatly about a

85
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,600
particular issue, if it's really not what's in the best interest of of the district,

86
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:38,900
I'm. I'm going to support it. It's that typically that's where they came from, right,

87
00:09:43,433 --> 00:09:43,433
right, right. Okay. I agree with number two. Same here. It's the same on all three of

88
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:06,400
them. Yeah. And I don't think that there's any reason to change any of those. That's

89
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:10,500
pretty. You like you guys like those three okay okay. So we can include those three in ours

90
00:10:16,233 --> 00:10:16,233
you guys feel good about. And you like it the way it's worded. Or would you offer any

91
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,400
difference? I can live with all three of those, obviously, because I did before. I just

92
00:10:24,566 --> 00:10:24,566
want to make sure you you support those. Yeah. Okay. So to clarify, maintain

93
00:10:29,933 --> 00:10:29,933
appropriate confidentiality with district information instead of just maintain

94
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:34,533
confidentiality to clarify. What does that mean. Typically what that means is there are

95
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,200
times that you have to have discussions with myself or my staff and you're you're not

96
00:10:45,433 --> 00:10:49,333
going to there's not going to be a confidentiality confidentiality within that. But you wouldn't discuss it with someone else that's not appropriate to do. So. If you

97
00:10:53,566 --> 00:10:53,566
like a different word, we can come up with a different word that that better describes it

98
00:10:57,966 --> 00:10:57,966
for you. That's what they that's where they landed that that particular board in terms

99
00:11:04,066 --> 00:11:04,066
of understanding. And part of it was there were many members of my board. I had seven that

100
00:11:10,933 --> 00:11:10,933
were had family relations, multiple family relations that were on staff. And so

101
00:11:17,833 --> 00:11:21,766
recognizing the need for that confidentiality was important to all of them. So if that provides context, I have no problem with the wording. Yeah. Me either. Okay. The only thing

102
00:11:30,133 --> 00:11:30,133
I was thinking of is maybe add something about like respecting conversations, individual

103
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:37,900
conversations and our expect respecting privacy of of conversations about what I say.

104
00:11:44,066 --> 00:11:44,066
yeah, just the confidentiality district information confidentiality. Are you

105
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:50,600
talking. Okay. Well like well, when she was saying that some conversations we have are not

106
00:11:57,733 --> 00:11:57,733
confidential and we have them in closed session. You mean like with us? Yeah, with one on

107
00:12:02,433 --> 00:12:02,433
one. So I was just trying to, like, if you have a conversation with me,

108
00:12:06,766 --> 00:12:10,000
recognizing that you need to maintain confidentiality with that conversation, your thoughts. Okay. I was just trying to problem solve. Gotcha. Yeah. I don't know if that's

109
00:12:14,966 --> 00:12:14,966
different. Yeah. Is it. That's my question. Is that. Well, because certain things were

110
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:19,800
bound on confidentiality. Closed session, closed session and hr and and things that we.

111
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:28,700
well so then really I agree with you. But then it's bound like that's that's the rule

112
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:36,600
right. It's just seems redundant. Okay, okay I don't care as long as we as long as

113
00:12:44,833 --> 00:12:44,833
we agree that that's what it means. I'm with you. Yeah. That that it it pertains to all of

114
00:12:49,733 --> 00:12:49,733
that blankets any things that could possibly contain. Which is why I go away from like,

115
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,200
listing all of the things. Yeah, that makes sense to list one thing and things that are

116
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,900
discussed in closed session or have been discussed in the community and everywhere else. So there's no way to ever say that something that happened in closed session wasn't

117
00:13:05,733 --> 00:13:05,733
necessarily something that was also public. Say more. I'm not sure I understand. Well, if

118
00:13:13,766 --> 00:13:17,466
you're trying to like if you're trying to like, curtail, like, oh, this was a private conversation or this was closed session or this is this like sometimes you're so you could

119
00:13:21,466 --> 00:13:25,366
have a private conversation, but it's a conversation that's also happening way out in the community. It's happening at school sites. But we might be having this conversation, but

120
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:32,633
it doesn't mean that the information that me and you are sharing is necessarily private to the whole community, just like we've discussed in closed session that the whole

121
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,200
community knows about. And so like it gets talked around the community and then people say,

122
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:44,666
oh, they're, you know, revealing closed session information. No, everyone's talking about this. Just because it came to us in closed session doesn't mean that it's

123
00:13:48,666 --> 00:13:52,233
this confidential, doesn't mean anybody released any closed session. People can still talk about it. It's a close knit community. Everybody here talks. Gotcha. I hear what you're

124
00:13:56,633 --> 00:13:56,633
saying, but the details about those topics stay in closed session. If we talked about in

125
00:14:01,233 --> 00:14:01,233
closed session among us, if other people are talking about it, you can't control that.

126
00:14:05,566 --> 00:14:05,566
right? Right. Okay. Or contribute. But we shouldn't be adding to the conversation.

127
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,200
right? Okay. I'm with you there. Oh, you have to turn your mic. You have to turn your mic on.

128
00:14:20,233 --> 00:14:20,233
oh we're recording right now because that's new for study session. Yeah. Too many on turn

129
00:14:25,666 --> 00:14:25,666
off. Too many on feedback okay. Oh you were turning it up so you thought it was on and we

130
00:14:32,766 --> 00:14:32,766
weren't. Got it. You thought I was just being quiet right now I'm so in the part about

131
00:14:37,666 --> 00:14:37,666
utilizing professional practices and avoiding surprises, I think I hear what

132
00:14:42,966 --> 00:14:42,966
I think you were talking about, carrie, in terms of we can make avoid surprises as you're

133
00:14:47,633 --> 00:14:47,633
heading there. And then from there, for example, when a question, concern or complaint

134
00:14:53,033 --> 00:14:53,033
is when a board member has concern about superintendent prior to meetings of the board

135
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:57,100
to address questions about an agenda item, if at all possible. Part of that was folks asking

136
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,200
questions like literally in the moment at the meeting, without staff being able to have any

137
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,000
legwork and ready to go. And that one was really stressful for my staff. And so we ended

138
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:16,700
up putting that in. I don't know if that's something that you guys feel strongly about or

139
00:15:20,766 --> 00:15:20,766
feel like you can support, but I could put that as a heading if that's something that you

140
00:15:25,833 --> 00:15:25,833
see in terms of avoiding. And todd, to your point, go back to the word avoid rather than no

141
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:32,600
surprises, obviously, because sometimes you can't you can't prevent that. And you can't

142
00:15:38,133 --> 00:15:38,133
also say, well, you can't talk about a thing in a conversation that comes up just because you

143
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:42,500
didn't talk about it. So I think things happen. You have conversations and. Yeah. Oh,

144
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:47,066
well, what about this? Yeah. So I think this is just an attempt. Yeah. That's where yeah. Okay.

145
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:56,400
so do you all like the heading of avoid surprises. Is that okay. Yes. Yes. Do you like

146
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:01,100
that piece. Okay. So I'll put that as a heading I think I like the utilize professional

147
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:06,833
practices okay. Personally because that would fall under that. Because if that whole

148
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,200
section is about avoiding surprises. Maybe it's just reworded. It just seemed like

149
00:16:19,833 --> 00:16:19,833
it wasn't. Are you talking specifically about the second one? Just the like the first

150
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:26,300
bullet, it comes down. It is a statement, but it doesn't feel like it ties to the avoid

151
00:16:31,733 --> 00:16:31,733
surprises. So just to make it reflect that it's about professional practices and

152
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:38,900
avoiding okay, so maybe the first bullet is just in order to avoid surprises. Board

153
00:16:44,766 --> 00:16:44,766
members. Yes. Yes. And we just take that piece out okay. Okay. And then those are like

154
00:16:55,466 --> 00:16:55,466
examples then. Okay. And then do you like it. Was it why it would break it out. Yeah. Yeah.

155
00:17:02,633 --> 00:17:02,633
gotcha. And then the next three will stay bulleted that way. And then what about the last

156
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:09,800
two bullets. Do you like that. Well I can't put the last one in there because that doesn't

157
00:17:14,066 --> 00:17:14,066
apply here. Yeah. The fourth thursdays. Nope nope nope. Prior to the agenda planning

158
00:17:19,533 --> 00:17:19,533
meeting, are you could you could add it to the two. Two ones, you know, concerned

159
00:17:25,733 --> 00:17:25,733
comments prior to agenda plan. Oh, it's prior to the agenda planning or in meetings. 2 to 1

160
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:31,100
meetings with the superintendent. Yeah. Okay. Let me try when they arise or. Yeah.

161
00:17:38,633 --> 00:17:38,633
so that they can be discussed or as soon as possible or in our individual meetings. Okay.

162
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:46,600
shouldn't that just be common sense though. Why would the right. Yeah. But it's just like

163
00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:52,333
changing out the fourth thursday because that's not relevant to us. Yeah. Take out

164
00:17:56,966 --> 00:17:56,966
the details that that's irrelevant okay. Okay. So I'll work on that last one in terms

165
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:05,700
of trying to reword that. Okay. Let's keep going. That next section. Do you like it. Do you

166
00:18:14,666 --> 00:18:14,666
want it different. Do you not want me to put that in there at all. What do you think it is.

167
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:20,033
instead of going to other directly to other staff members? Yeah, I like that one. I think

168
00:18:27,633 --> 00:18:27,633
part of what I found in it, actually in oregon when I had new board members, is that we

169
00:18:33,066 --> 00:18:33,066
had folks going straight to staff members and asking for information, asking for and not

170
00:18:38,133 --> 00:18:38,133
really realizing that your request is going to take about nine hours of staff time to put

171
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:43,600
that all together. And it was just a wondering and instead copying me so that I understand

172
00:18:48,466 --> 00:18:48,466
and can say, okay, how badly do you need this? By when can we, you know, talk about what the

173
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,200
context of that is, and then I can assign it to staff so that I know that that means they're

174
00:18:59,266 --> 00:18:59,266
not going to be able to do some other things because they're going to do that. And so just

175
00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:04,133
keeping me in the loop to manage my staff, because it goes back up to sort of that

176
00:19:08,266 --> 00:19:08,266
item about, you know, me managing. So keeping me in the loop was pretty important. As I

177
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:13,100
was training new board members. That one was huge. Well, probably. And there should be

178
00:19:17,733 --> 00:19:17,733
that people can't direct staff can't direct staff to give you confidential documents, all the

179
00:19:23,033 --> 00:19:23,033
things. Yeah. This would be that communication. So if that were to come across as an ask

180
00:19:29,633 --> 00:19:29,633
then if the superintendents copied on it, she can say no problem. We've had a problem in

181
00:19:34,333 --> 00:19:34,333
the last year of board members directing staff outside of board meetings. So I think that

182
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:38,900
absolutely should be spoken of. That's been a problem. Okay. I'll add I'll add that bullet.

183
00:19:52,966 --> 00:19:52,966
okay. Okay. Then the next one, when I provide information to anyone board member to for for

184
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:02,300
best professional practices, I typically included in the friday update that week so that

185
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,000
everyone has the information. Yes. Does that work for you guys? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Works

186
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:14,700
for me. And then starting next year, I do intend that second bullet providing you with a

187
00:20:21,433 --> 00:20:21,433
calendar of annual reports that you can plan on throughout the agenda with. My goal would be

188
00:20:28,633 --> 00:20:28,633
starting in june, july, when we start into the 2627 school year, at the end of each board

189
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:38,233
meeting, kind of give you a heads up. Next board meeting, we're going to have these presentations for you or these reports. The next one we're going to have these. Is there

190
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:42,266
anything else you want so that I can keep asking that as a part of our public process and

191
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:46,600
make sure that my team and I have a heads up in terms of timing, of all the things that

192
00:20:52,333 --> 00:20:52,333
you guys want and managing that, but at least gives you a heads up to know what to what to

193
00:20:57,333 --> 00:20:57,333
expect and what's coming. Yeah, I like that. Okay. Take a look at how I communicate directly

194
00:21:15,433 --> 00:21:15,433
with the board. Do you like all of those bullets? Are there any that you would say take out or

195
00:21:20,133 --> 00:21:20,133
any that you would want to see me add in terms of how I and when I communicate directly

196
00:21:25,733 --> 00:21:25,733
with you guys on things, so you know what's going on. No, I think that's fine. That's

197
00:21:37,733 --> 00:21:41,666
pretty straightforward. I feel like coming in, you know, in, in october, one of the things that I realized was like, what has been your practice? Because if something happens in a

198
00:21:47,433 --> 00:21:47,433
school, I typically would send something out immediately to the five of you to say, hey,

199
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:54,700
you just should know this is going on. There's a lockdown here. We had a 911 call for a

200
00:21:59,266 --> 00:21:59,266
kid that had to be transported. I mean, those kinds of things. And I would always just

201
00:22:04,033 --> 00:22:07,933
immediately text board and let you guys know with the assumption that, you know, I'll follow up later with additional information, but you at least know something's going on. Is,

202
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:12,700
is that preferred by you, or is that too much information for you? That's that's been that

203
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:17,700
has been the way I've been doing it. Okay. I really prefer that instead of reading about

204
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:21,800
it on social media. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Or not having someone text me like what's going on?

205
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:27,600
I'm like, I don't know. Yeah. The challenge with that I, I'm sorry, but I'll, I'll

206
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:33,900
editorialize for a moment. I had a gentleman in the community that I pretty sure

207
00:22:38,633 --> 00:22:38,633
I'm being generous when I say he was about 85 and used to just sit at the police scanner

208
00:22:44,333 --> 00:22:44,333
and hear everything that came through, and it would go out on social media immediately. And

209
00:22:48,633 --> 00:22:48,633
so it was always a race between me and him to get it to board members before he could get it

210
00:22:54,466 --> 00:22:54,466
out there. So trying to make sure you were staying in the loop. Okay. And then finally

211
00:23:01,966 --> 00:23:01,966
just sort of the role of I have been in two different situations here in terms of at

212
00:23:07,733 --> 00:23:07,733
times where board has set a very clear expectation that the only person who ever

213
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:13,900
communicates on behalf of the whole board was like either the president or the secretary,

214
00:23:18,866 --> 00:23:18,866
depending on. And I know that I'm that role here. But then from there, other folks spoke

215
00:23:24,266 --> 00:23:24,266
as their own individual selves in other situations. It's been, you know, the vice president of

216
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:29,600
the board was always the person that communicated. Any time anybody sent something directly

217
00:23:33,966 --> 00:23:33,966
to any board members. So it's it's run the gamut. How do you guys feel about that? How would

218
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:43,800
you like to to handle that situation in terms of who communicates when things come in to you and or to me or to both of us in in the past, in the past, it's been that the

219
00:23:51,666 --> 00:23:51,666
the superintendent responds, if we all get copied on it, then we know that you've gotten

220
00:23:57,733 --> 00:23:57,733
you've received that if it comes to us individually, then we should forward that over to

221
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:02,100
you and have so that you're aware. So you could follow up if it's something specific

222
00:24:08,166 --> 00:24:08,166
asked of us, like our opinion or, or things like that, as an individual board member. Then

223
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:14,333
then we've been we've been able to respond to that. But if it's a whole general question about

224
00:24:19,233 --> 00:24:19,233
the district that has been directed for the superintendent, okay, okay. At least that's how

225
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,400
it's been in the past, different than a couple of other boards. So that's why I'm

226
00:24:29,566 --> 00:24:29,566
asking. I'm like, okay, let me make sure that we have an unwritten rule here, okay? It

227
00:24:35,233 --> 00:24:35,233
would be a big thing. And I'll say this. And then I shot it over to you to respond, and

228
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:40,100
I've shot it to you, but it just comes to the board okay. So consistency would be great.

229
00:24:45,233 --> 00:24:45,233
okay. I've always been taught that if it's to multiple people, then the superintendent needs

230
00:24:52,133 --> 00:24:52,133
to respond, okay. But I'm happy to do that. Just as long as we agree that that's. And then I

231
00:24:58,266 --> 00:24:58,266
think we have to check our bylaw as well because I think it has been board, but it's, it

232
00:25:03,233 --> 00:25:03,233
says like the the president is to respond and it usually is just like a generic, you know,

233
00:25:09,366 --> 00:25:09,366
like, yeah, I've forwarded this over to the superintendent who will respond to that on our

234
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:13,700
behalf. Yeah. Okay. So I think we just need to look and see. Okay. I didn't review that. So

235
00:25:18,566 --> 00:25:18,566
I don't know where we stand. We we did a look at that in years past before tricia was here

236
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:25,500
maybe even before you were here. And it we agreed on things and it didn't stick. So maybe

237
00:25:32,466 --> 00:25:32,466
that's something that we look at again and put in place like what are the okay details there.

238
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:38,200
so then my further question would be if and when. Obviously I respond, do you want to be

239
00:25:44,666 --> 00:25:44,666
copied on my response? Or would you like me to just put it in like the friday update? Anybody

240
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:49,700
that I responded to during the week or do you want to be responded? Yeah, don't copy on

241
00:25:54,433 --> 00:25:54,433
every response. That's if it's pertinent. That's okay. No, that's why I'm asking. No need

242
00:25:58,500 --> 00:25:58,500
to know right away. If it's an emergency, respond. If it's an emergency, it can wait till the

243
00:26:02,833 --> 00:26:02,833
friday update. That would be fine too. Okay. Because we know that you'll be responding on

244
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:06,900
behalf of the district. Yeah, especially when it's multiple emails. A around the same

245
00:26:13,033 --> 00:26:13,033
subject. You mean like this week? Yeah, like this week. And I don't think even in a friday

246
00:26:21,533 --> 00:26:21,533
update you want to see all of the responses that I get. So that's where I okay. Okay.

247
00:26:28,900 --> 00:26:28,900
that's helpful because your inbox would be full double because then you get all my

248
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:36,100
responses. So I just want to make sure we all agree on that okay. A lot could we add

249
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:40,800
because this is we can add anything you're thinking I don't know if it was an issue

250
00:26:45,433 --> 00:26:45,433
with previous boards of yours, but for making statements and individuals responses, since

251
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,200
it's talking about responses, could we add something about social media on here as well?

252
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:54,500
no, that's first amendment right. But if we're responding as a board member, it is

253
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,000
responding as a board member or being asked as a board member, you just you just can't say

254
00:27:07,066 --> 00:27:11,066
you're speaking for the board. Yes. Yeah. We're not speaking for the board. If you're responding as your own individual, you have every right to do so. As you said, I

255
00:27:15,066 --> 00:27:15,066
think as long as you're not responding for the board, it's clear that you're not

256
00:27:20,033 --> 00:27:20,033
responding for the board. Then say myself as a school board member, yes, absolutely. Can't

257
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:25,600
respond for the board or for the district. Correct. Right. Correct. Maybe it would be nice

258
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:36,300
to outline that. Like I'll try to figure out how to maybe last that into that sentence in the

259
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:41,500
last one. I just don't want it to come off that we have to in every response we state, I'm

260
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:47,033
not speaking for the board. Right. That's just the assumption. Correct. I'm just

261
00:27:54,366 --> 00:27:54,366
happy people want to file follow by laws and policies. All of a sudden that's that's

262
00:27:58,566 --> 00:27:58,566
refreshing. Same, same. I think one of the things I'm finding is that, to be fair, when I

263
00:28:05,833 --> 00:28:05,833
find ones that are from 1994 and they haven't changed since then, it's rather humorous to

264
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:10,100
see what language is in them. I think we have a huge overhaul process to go through because

265
00:28:16,333 --> 00:28:16,333
some of them are, as you probably saw in this packet today, a bit atrocious. So yeah,

266
00:28:23,766 --> 00:28:23,766
we'll look at some of those. Okay. Anything else you would like to see added to this that

267
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:29,900
isn't here are you guys might be the next iteration a year or two from now that we add

268
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:35,800
another layer. This looks good for now. What are our next steps? A great jump off point.

269
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,200
so typically what I will do is I'll go through this and update it to actually represent pill

270
00:28:47,866 --> 00:28:47,866
language, because I think about the way the verbiage we use the, you know, the vernacular we use

271
00:28:54,366 --> 00:28:54,366
branded as ours. I'll bring it back to the next meeting and just have folks look at it as a

272
00:29:00,033 --> 00:29:00,033
first reading. Do you agree? Do you like it? If you do, then typically we adopt it and

273
00:29:05,166 --> 00:29:05,166
they'll be language in the board policy around agendas and that kind of thing that just

274
00:29:11,866 --> 00:29:11,866
says, hey, each year we're going to take the time to go through it and make sure it

275
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,000
says what we want it to say, and then you can offer any suggested changes you want to

276
00:29:20,833 --> 00:29:23,833
make depending on as boards change, there's different styles and frankly, different things that people care about. And you know, I want this in there okay, great. We'll put

277
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:27,900
that in there. So we we just update it okay. I was looking at the letter you gave us after

278
00:29:32,933 --> 00:29:32,933
you. We hired you your entry plan. And it talks in here about is this a surprise?

279
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:42,800
maryland. What are you surprising me with? It would not be a surprise, but it says

280
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:49,800
here expectation for our work together. So I don't know if we want to address like our our

281
00:29:54,966 --> 00:29:54,966
work together as a team. Typically what I've done with that, it has been more of a we

282
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:00,266
spend time at the beginning of each year talking about when are we going to meet, how are

283
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:04,600
we going to meet, what's in our agreement, do we agree it? How are we going to work together?

284
00:30:09,666 --> 00:30:09,666
what are our norms in terms of of communication, in terms of of working together? All those

285
00:30:14,266 --> 00:30:17,833
things? I'm used to doing that at the beginning of every school year. We started together in october, so it feels a little different. But if folks want to do that, we

286
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:22,300
can have the conversation around, what? When do we do that? What does that look like?

287
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:28,300
so yeah, I like that idea. I, I facilitated it now. But yeah, as we roll into the next, I

288
00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:35,066
would say given that we're already in february, my suggestion might be like that

289
00:30:39,866 --> 00:30:39,866
may june time frame, because I will tell you, you know, you're going to be at warp speed

290
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:43,900
between now and the end of may with everything. But june typically is a time you can

291
00:30:48,866 --> 00:30:48,866
kind of take a breath, and then we can figure out, like, how do we reground in? I like that,

292
00:30:53,900 --> 00:30:53,900
remember, graduations are yes, they are, yes they are. I was thinking they're on my calendar.

293
00:30:58,633 --> 00:30:58,633
that might be a summer project. Yes yes, yes, august is really. It's not. I'm out in august.

294
00:31:07,266 --> 00:31:07,266
not anymore. Yeah, well, we can figure out a time that works for everybody, and that's fine.

295
00:31:13,833 --> 00:31:13,833
I mean, we can we can work that out. But my suggestion would be toward the beginning of the

296
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:19,100
school year as we start into because you typically have more time on the front end of the of

297
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:24,500
the school year versus the back end of the school year. Yeah. So I can work with folks on

298
00:31:30,966 --> 00:31:34,766
putting out just some dates and times that folks might have available at some point in time in april, I mean, april, august, in september. And we can figure out what works, and then we'll

299
00:31:40,966 --> 00:31:40,966
schedule a study session, so to speak. It's been typically the way that I've structured it. If

300
00:31:45,666 --> 00:31:49,633
that works for you, that works great, that works. But typically I'll bring this back to you all cleaned up, and you look at it and you go, okay, yeah, I like this. We're good.

301
00:31:54,633 --> 00:31:54,633
we adopt it much like we do policy. And then it is embedded within a policy as something we

302
00:32:00,466 --> 00:32:00,466
will continue to look at, because it tends to be my roadmap in the way that I set

303
00:32:05,733 --> 00:32:05,733
expectations with my team to, so that they know how we will work together. Does that make

304
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:11,900
sense? Yes, I appreciate that. Thank you. We've gone through this. All right. How are we

305
00:32:16,766 --> 00:32:16,766
doing on time? It's time for closing. Time. Okay. Great. Awesome. All right. Oh, that

306
00:32:26,433 --> 00:32:26,433
was more efficient than I thought. That's pretty good. Okay, so we are going to

307
00:32:31,666 --> 00:32:31,666
adjourn to closed session at okay. Good afternoon or good evening. So we are we ended our

308
00:32:46,443 --> 00:32:46,443
study session just a few minutes early. And because our agenda says we can't start

309
00:32:50,676 --> 00:32:50,676
closed session until 6 p.m. So that we everybody can make a public comment for closed if

310
00:32:56,410 --> 00:32:56,410
they choose to. So we are officially going to come back from our break right now at 6

311
00:33:04,410 --> 00:33:04,410
p.m. And we are going to adjourn to closed session. But prior to doing that there, if

312
00:33:10,476 --> 00:33:10,476
there are anyone, anyone who'd like to make a request or request to speak related to

313
00:33:15,143 --> 00:33:15,143
closed session agenda items only. And I'll just read our statement here. And so if you

314
00:33:24,076 --> 00:33:24,076
want to make a closed session comment, that would be the time now. Otherwise all the other

315
00:33:28,476 --> 00:33:28,476
public comments will be later in the meeting. Okay. So we're going to adjourn now to closed

322
00:34:15,343 --> 00:34:15,343

325
00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:52,599
pledge of allegiance? Will you all please stand and join me? I pledge allegiance to the flag

326
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:01,266
of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under god,

327
00:35:09,166 --> 00:35:09,166
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Let the record show that all board members are

328
00:35:22,866 --> 00:35:22,866
present, excluding our student board member, simran vaswani will be absent tonight. So

329
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:31,199
before calling for a motion, I'd like to ask the board to consider moving up. Action

330
00:35:35,799 --> 00:35:35,799
items 22.2 adopt board policy 1445 response to immigration enforcement and action. Item

331
00:35:42,432 --> 00:35:42,432
number 22.6 approve resolution resolution number 2525 supporting law enforcement to

332
00:35:48,799 --> 00:35:48,799
before the consent items on the agenda. Is that okay with everybody? Those two, just

333
00:35:53,499 --> 00:35:53,499
those two attaching them. What do you mean attaching them? Well, they were supposed to be

334
00:35:59,232 --> 00:35:59,232
together. They would be they would be separate but in the same category. But they would

335
00:36:04,966 --> 00:36:04,966
be right after public comment exactly what we were going to ask. Perfect. Wow. We agreed

336
00:36:11,499 --> 00:36:11,499
really early in this board meeting. Carrie. Good job. So I need approval of that agenda,

337
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:17,199
as amended, please. So moved. Second. Motion by mrs. Blade. Second by mrs. Mrs. Anderson,

338
00:36:26,232 --> 00:36:26,232
all those in favor? Aye, aye. Motion carries five zero. Okay. So our public comment

339
00:36:36,699 --> 00:36:36,699
announcement it's a lot of wording. So I'm going to kind of highlight a little bit.

340
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:41,332
we've posted it on the side here. And then I'll reference it again a couple of times if

341
00:36:45,432 --> 00:36:45,432
necessary. And right before we actually get to public comment this is just the announcement

342
00:36:49,532 --> 00:36:49,532
piece. So public comment cards are available over to the right here and in the foyer. Cards

343
00:36:55,499 --> 00:36:55,499
must be completed and turned in prior to the designated time for public comment. We'll

344
00:36:59,699 --> 00:36:59,699
provide a maximum of three minutes per person. We have a number of them now. So based on

345
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:06,599
our our categories we have 44. So we're going to go one minute each. If translation is needed

346
00:37:16,299 --> 00:37:16,299
an additional minute will be given. Please let us know ahead of time so that we can ensure

347
00:37:21,099 --> 00:37:21,099
we are prepared for that. I will highlight the civility policy. Education code 220

348
00:37:26,699 --> 00:37:26,699
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, gender identity, gender

349
00:37:32,799 --> 00:37:32,799
expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other

350
00:37:38,999 --> 00:37:42,932
characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in section 422.55 of the penal code, including immigration status. Additionally, if we

351
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:48,766
have any disruptions or if we have interference for the on the board's ability to conduct

352
00:37:52,966 --> 00:37:52,966
this meeting, the disruptive parties will be given one warning. If the disruption. If

353
00:37:59,099 --> 00:37:59,099
the disruption continues, you will be informed that the board president has found you

354
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:04,532
disruptive in violation of penal code section 403. So you have one warning and that will

355
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:09,166
the second one will be removal education code section 33322.10. And you will be removed from

356
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:18,599
the meeting under government code section 54957.9 and 54957.95. If removing one or

357
00:38:26,832 --> 00:38:26,832
several disruptive parties does not restore order, the board president will exercise my

358
00:38:31,866 --> 00:38:31,866
authority to clear the room in accordance with government code section 54957. I don't want to

359
00:38:36,932 --> 00:38:36,932
get to that point, so I know there's a lot of people that are passionate. We want to hear

360
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:42,199
from everyone, and we want to make sure that we can do that. So when we get to that point,

361
00:38:48,099 --> 00:38:48,099
just remind everybody that we want to keep calm, let people speak, and then we'll move on

362
00:38:53,132 --> 00:38:53,132
from there. Okay. So that brings me to approval of minutes, like a motion to

363
00:38:59,599 --> 00:38:59,599
approve the minutes of the regular meeting of january 20th, 2026. So moved. Second, thank

364
00:39:06,432 --> 00:39:06,432
you. Okay. Motion by mrs. Anderson. Second by miss quintero. Any comments? Okay.

365
00:39:15,132 --> 00:39:15,132
we'll take a vote. All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries five zero. So we did get a student

366
00:39:21,999 --> 00:39:21,999
board report. Everybody's got it at the dais here. And we can reference that later okay. And

367
00:39:29,466 --> 00:39:29,466
so from there I will move it to superintendent board report and pass it to you doctor kim.

368
00:39:36,332 --> 00:39:36,332
thank you. President buck. Let me get my notes here. Sorry. Okay. Good evening. Trustees

369
00:39:44,732 --> 00:39:44,732
and executive cabinet members. I'm going to start with national school counseling week.

370
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:49,266
last week, we joined educational organizations across the country and

371
00:39:53,632 --> 00:39:57,599
celebrating our national school counseling week. It is typically the first week in february this year it was february 2nd through the sixth. It's no secret our students,

372
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:05,832
staff, and families alike have come to rely on our school counselors and wellness specialists for support and guidance beyond regularly assigned duties, our counselors

373
00:40:11,099 --> 00:40:11,099
provide critical expertise as students navigate their educational journeys, helping

374
00:40:15,166 --> 00:40:15,166
them prepare for next steps, addressing a wide range of campus based challenges, and

375
00:40:19,532 --> 00:40:23,466
sharing timely and important information with school communities. They work diligently each day to support the emotional, health, safety, and overall well-being of

376
00:40:27,799 --> 00:40:27,799
pylusd students. Work that is more important now than ever. We extend our sincere gratitude

377
00:40:33,532 --> 00:40:37,166
to the dedicated school counselors and wellness specialists for their compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to serving our students and our

378
00:40:41,499 --> 00:40:41,499
families. Founder's day dinner on february 4th, trustees, executive cabinet members, and

379
00:40:48,299 --> 00:40:48,299
I had the pleasure of attending the pta founder's day dinner hosted by placenta yorba linda

380
00:40:53,699 --> 00:40:53,699
unified council of pta's ptsa, known as pill uc. This year marks 129 years since pta was

381
00:41:02,399 --> 00:41:02,399
founded in an effort to improve the lives of all children and families. Annually, the

382
00:41:07,032 --> 00:41:07,032
national pta recognizes founders day in february to celebrate the legacy and work

383
00:41:11,732 --> 00:41:11,732

384
00:41:17,132 --> 00:41:17,132
sloan butler. It was great to hear from the leaders of pwc, including president jessica

385
00:41:22,899 --> 00:41:22,899
candelaria, who all worked tirelessly to support our individual schools and ptsa by

386
00:41:28,266 --> 00:41:28,266
advocating for our students and our schools. Coming up. Shamrock and run next are

387
00:41:34,432 --> 00:41:37,999

395
00:42:24,799 --> 00:42:24,799
these nine employees were nominated by one or more of their colleagues or supervisors,

396
00:42:29,199 --> 00:42:29,199
who detailed outstanding contributions they provide to the district that go above and

397
00:42:33,766 --> 00:42:33,766
beyond. The nominating individual also describes how the candidate demonstrates the

398
00:42:38,132 --> 00:42:38,132
district's four core values. Our teachers of the year were rebecca bowen from valencia

399
00:42:43,932 --> 00:42:43,932
high school and jenna rasikh from golden elementary, and april treece from valadez

407
00:43:32,432 --> 00:43:32,432
these employees as well. And then finally, student voice. Over the past six weeks or so,

408
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:42,199
laura lee meza, ellen mary hickman and I have begun conducting listening sessions

409
00:43:46,699 --> 00:43:46,699
for our strategic planning that will carry out through the remainder of this school year.

410
00:43:51,566 --> 00:43:51,566
we've engaged with over 200 middle and high school students so far. Students have shared

411
00:43:56,299 --> 00:44:00,299
their hopes, their anxieties, their frustrations, along with suggestions that they feel could make the student experience more engaging and more relevant. They clearly

412
00:44:04,499 --> 00:44:08,466
have their eye on the future, and they want the high school experience to provide them with real world learning like financial literacy, how to ethically and responsibly use

413
00:44:13,132 --> 00:44:13,132
ai, and how to successfully navigate college. I also look forward to engaging students in

414
00:44:19,032 --> 00:44:19,032
the development of our upcoming cell phone and ai policies. I think the student, the student

415
00:44:25,066 --> 00:44:28,966
voice is critical in the development of these policies, so we will be working with student leaders from all of our schools to be a part of that process. This concludes my

416
00:44:33,099 --> 00:44:33,099
report for this evening. Thank you, doctor kim, and congratulations to all of our

417
00:44:41,099 --> 00:44:41,099
outstanding employees this year. Okay, so that brings us to public comment. As a reminder,

418
00:44:47,932 --> 00:44:47,932
all speakers must comply with board policy. 1312 our civility policy disruptive conduct will

419
00:44:54,832 --> 00:44:54,832
receive one warning, and continued disruption may result in removal from the meeting or

420
00:44:59,366 --> 00:44:59,366
further action as authorized by law. Okay, so public comment is an opportunity for the public

421
00:45:07,266 --> 00:45:07,266
to provide input to the board of education. During this time. We don't dialog with the

422
00:45:12,432 --> 00:45:12,432
speakers or make comments regarding the information that's shared. We're here to

423
00:45:17,499 --> 00:45:17,499
listen. We have how many speakers, 53. And is that one more? This is the last chance

424
00:45:30,432 --> 00:45:30,432
to put it in. Is that a yes? Hold on. They got one they got from outside. They got ten

425
00:45:42,099 --> 00:45:42,099
people outside okay. Maybe we'll give them a. So we're going to start. Each speaker is

426
00:45:46,132 --> 00:45:46,132
going to start with one minute. And we're going to do seven at a time. So there are seven

427
00:45:51,232 --> 00:45:51,232
seats right here up in the first row. Perfect okay. So 55 total. So this is going to be a

428
00:46:00,766 --> 00:46:00,766
long time. It's going to be over an hour where we're going to be listening to each other.

429
00:46:05,766 --> 00:46:05,766
so I just want to remind you please listen I understand you might like some things and you

430
00:46:09,899 --> 00:46:09,899
might not like some things, but we want to make sure that this board is able to hear what

431
00:46:14,799 --> 00:46:14,799
everybody is saying so that we can make decisions based on our feedback and what we're hearing

432
00:46:18,966 --> 00:46:18,966
from all of you. Okay. So we'll start with the first seven. And when you come up to the podium,

433
00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:28,599
if you'll just tell us your name and then you can go ahead and start, you'll have a timer

434
00:46:33,932 --> 00:46:33,932
on the side. And then we also have those reminders just up there in case you need it. Okay.

435
00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:42,166
we'll have one through seven. Sit here. When they're done they will exit out and we'll bring the next seven and we'll just continue on. So this will help us move a little bit

436
00:46:47,366 --> 00:46:47,366
faster. We won't have to call out names or anything, but just remind us when you get up to

437
00:46:52,299 --> 00:46:52,299
the front, you're just your name. And then we can get started. Okay? Starting with

438
00:46:57,566 --> 00:46:57,566
number one. Go ahead. Hi, my name is keenan durham. I'm here representing part of the pier.

439
00:47:02,799 --> 00:47:02,799
long time no see, leandra. I did see you on friday at an anti-trans hate rally in long

440
00:47:07,299 --> 00:47:07,299
beach. I did actually want to speak specifically about a number of things that trustee

441
00:47:14,866 --> 00:47:14,866
blaz has been putting on social media, besmirching the community and her own students.

442
00:47:20,932 --> 00:47:20,932
you've claimed that the the walkout in your district recently was coordinated by by

443
00:47:32,866 --> 00:47:32,866
left wing activists. I do want to bring attention to the esperanza walkout, which you

444
00:47:38,966 --> 00:47:38,966
spoke about on the andy falco podcast today, which I know the pill for choice shared. You

445
00:47:45,499 --> 00:47:45,499
claim that that wasn't a walkout, but the sophia laurie's sophia laurie put out

446
00:47:49,766 --> 00:47:49,766
a press release, a press release out about that podcast in which she called it an

447
00:47:56,199 --> 00:47:56,199
esperanza high school walkout. So I just want to make sure that we are on the same page

448
00:48:00,566 --> 00:48:00,566
here if you're okay with one act of civic engagement, but not another, let's be honest.

449
00:48:06,666 --> 00:48:06,666
thank you. And number two. Good evening everyone. Happy black history month. I'm sarah

450
00:48:16,432 --> 00:48:16,432
phillips, a teacher librarian at yorba linda high school. I hope everyone has selected a

451
00:48:20,732 --> 00:48:20,732
good book by a black author to read this month. I'll recommend people of means by nancy

452
00:48:25,466 --> 00:48:25,466
johnson. It's great historical fiction about civil rights movements in the 60s and the

453
00:48:30,066 --> 00:48:30,066
1990s. This year marks the 100th anniversary of black history being celebrated at a

454
00:48:35,132 --> 00:48:35,132
national event as a national event in 50 years, since it was expanded to the whole month of

455
00:48:39,799 --> 00:48:39,799
february. While on the topic of black history, I'd like to urge the board to reconsider two

456
00:48:44,466 --> 00:48:44,466
previously passed resolutions. First, resolution 2112 the crt ban. It is a resolution born

457
00:48:51,332 --> 00:48:51,332
out of the culture war at the time. It's politically charged and truly unnecessary in a k-12

458
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:55,666
setting, but it also resulted in the district losing huge contributions that student

459
00:49:00,332 --> 00:49:00,332
teachers were making from cal state fullerton. We lost that resource of new talent entering

460
00:49:05,532 --> 00:49:05,532
the teaching profession. This is something that can be corrected with the total

461
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:10,599
removal of that resolution. The second resolution, oh man. Thank you. Number three. Good

462
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:20,166
afternoon board. My name is abigail. Thoughts I would urge you all to pass board policy

463
00:49:25,199 --> 00:49:25,199
1445 to be in compliance of the law. Now on to item 22.6 blades resolution. I would like to

464
00:49:31,299 --> 00:49:31,299
take this moment to correct one of your points. You claim that respect for the rule of law as

465
00:49:36,232 --> 00:49:36,232
a foundational principle of our nation. That is not true. In fact, quite the opposite. Our

466
00:49:41,399 --> 00:49:45,332
nation was founded on two things, one of which is rebellion against the rule of law. If the colonies had not rebelled against the rule of law, we would still be colonies.

467
00:49:50,732 --> 00:49:50,732
our nation is what it is today. Through imperialism and conquest. We were the

468
00:49:55,799 --> 00:49:55,799
immigrants. We saw the land and the lives of hundreds of native american tribes. In fact, right

469
00:50:01,266 --> 00:50:01,266
now we are standing on the ancestral land of the tongva and aja peoples. Even beyond

470
00:50:07,766 --> 00:50:07,766
that, less than 200 years ago, this land was part of mexico. And now leandra blades wants to

471
00:50:13,432 --> 00:50:13,432
take it a step further and bring the secret police to our schools to kidnap children with

472
00:50:18,032 --> 00:50:18,032
no criminal record and deport them. Shame on you, leandra number four, please. Hi, my

473
00:50:28,166 --> 00:50:28,166
name is sarah mawhinney. I have a parent at tines elementary school, and I'm asking that you

474
00:50:32,966 --> 00:50:32,966
do not approve resolution 2525. The resolution undermines ab 49 and will only cause confusion

475
00:50:40,099 --> 00:50:40,099
at the school level. Ab 49 said that the school administrators are not to allow entry without

476
00:50:45,266 --> 00:50:45,266
a judicial warrant, but resolution 2525 effectively says not to impede an officer's

477
00:50:50,099 --> 00:50:50,099
entry. Resolution 20 2525 creates legal murkiness that ice could take advantage of the

478
00:50:56,599 --> 00:50:56,599
confusion, fosters fear, and could lead to unlawful entry, dangerous confrontations, or

479
00:51:00,632 --> 00:51:00,632
much worse. All of which puts all of our children in the crosshairs. The students and

480
00:51:06,766 --> 00:51:06,766
their ability to learn must be the board's number one priority. We know that children cannot

481
00:51:11,032 --> 00:51:11,032
actively participate in their education when they are unwell. Their physical, emotional, and

482
00:51:15,299 --> 00:51:15,299
mental well-being, along with their safety, should be top of mind when voting. The school

483
00:51:19,632 --> 00:51:19,632
board should be the first line of defense when it comes to protecting our students, and I

484
00:51:24,332 --> 00:51:24,332
implore you to strike down resolution 2525. Thank you. Good evening. My name is brian

485
00:51:34,766 --> 00:51:34,766
cox. I've been in placentia resident for 36 years. My wife, lori, was raised in placentia

486
00:51:40,199 --> 00:51:40,199
and attended wagner in el dorado. Our two sons attended placentia schools, morris,

487
00:51:45,932 --> 00:51:45,932
kramer and valencia. I am strongly opposed to allowing any federal agents in our

488
00:51:51,299 --> 00:51:51,299
schools. My opinion is that our students are minors under the guidance and supervision of

489
00:51:56,366 --> 00:51:56,366
adult parents, grandparents or guardians if they are in our country without legal

490
00:52:02,099 --> 00:52:06,066
authorization. The responsibility belongs with their parents, grandparents or guardians. The appropriate government entities should focus their attention on adults,

491
00:52:11,132 --> 00:52:11,132
not children. Please remember, unless you are an indigenous person, we are all immigrants

492
00:52:17,132 --> 00:52:17,132
to this country. Thank you. Gloria johnson, apple president. This is what it looks like when

493
00:52:33,066 --> 00:52:33,066
apple speaks officially to the public. There's an unhealthy obsession with the local

494
00:52:38,132 --> 00:52:42,132
teachers association by some members of this community blaming us for anything they heard or read or think they heard from any of over a thousand members. If a member

495
00:52:47,132 --> 00:52:47,132
says or does something, some say apple planned it when it was just people acting within

496
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:51,199
their constitutional rights as independent american citizens. When one trustee says something,

497
00:52:56,466 --> 00:52:56,466
we are intentional in separating individual trustee opinions from the entire school

498
00:53:01,499 --> 00:53:01,499
board. When one administrator does something, apple does not blame the entire executive

499
00:53:06,899 --> 00:53:06,899
cabinet because we understand that individuals act of their own free will. What apple

500
00:53:11,932 --> 00:53:11,932
actually does is support our members ability to educate our students with regard to class

501
00:53:16,666 --> 00:53:20,632
size, workload, work hours, health and safety, among other things. As president this year, I will have visited each school site to bring their needs directly to doctor kim, ed

502
00:53:25,299 --> 00:53:25,299
services, hr and student services. Our focus is to help make pill the district all

503
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:29,599
students in order to serve. High. My name is allison holt and I am a longtime employee of

504
00:53:44,699 --> 00:53:44,699
placentia-yorba linda school district, and I am a homeowner here in placentia. I was

505
00:53:49,766 --> 00:53:49,766
alarmed to see a lot of posts regarding this pro ice resolution, and I wanted to

506
00:53:56,999 --> 00:53:56,999
speak out on it. I think this type of resolution is contrary to california state law, senate

507
00:54:02,732 --> 00:54:02,732
bill 294, and it also conflicts with district policy. With the proper role of the school board.

508
00:54:09,232 --> 00:54:09,232
you placentia-yorba linda school district exists to educate and serve all of our

509
00:54:14,632 --> 00:54:14,632
students and all of the families in our community, issuing a politically charged

510
00:54:19,299 --> 00:54:19,299
statement like this actively undermines it. The current climate is such a statement

511
00:54:25,766 --> 00:54:25,766
would be divisive and harmful to student safety and trust. The district keeps employees

512
00:54:31,866 --> 00:54:35,866
from having political conversations and stuff during work, and I feel like the board should be held up to the same kind of a standard and not bringing politics into our.

513
00:54:45,566 --> 00:54:45,566
next speaker is eight through what do we have? 14 so if you have eight through 14, please

514
00:54:52,266 --> 00:54:52,266
come up to the front. If you're outside, make your way to the door and we have a space for

515
00:54:58,499 --> 00:54:58,499
you. Hello, my name is patrick hill. I come here to express my profound concern with

516
00:55:12,932 --> 00:55:12,932
resolution 2025, supporting law enforcement that is attempting to be pushed onto the schools

517
00:55:17,732 --> 00:55:17,732
of this district. This resolution has significant consequences if it's

518
00:55:22,632 --> 00:55:22,632
implemented, allowing ice in our schools and requiring cooperation with its terrorist

519
00:55:29,166 --> 00:55:29,166
organization does nothing to protect this community or our district. And I say terrorist

520
00:55:35,266 --> 00:55:35,266
organization not for shock value, but to actually explain what they're doing to people,

521
00:55:41,366 --> 00:55:41,366
the damage that can be done to students being interrogated or harassed by a member of ice

522
00:55:46,099 --> 00:55:46,099
will stay with them for a lifetime. Those board, these boards, those board members who

523
00:55:51,832 --> 00:55:51,832
are saying that this is for student safety need to stop lying to themselves and this

524
00:55:57,199 --> 00:55:57,199
community. Ice will do nothing but create chaos just like they've always done. I pray

525
00:56:02,732 --> 00:56:02,732
that the board members who support this never have to see one of their own family members

526
00:56:08,499 --> 00:56:08,499
ripped away from them like ice does. Number nine. Good evening, board members. I'm telling you,

527
00:56:20,232 --> 00:56:24,232
I come to you tonight as a member of california's peace and freedom party, a former student in the school district and someone who has nieces and nephews currently attending

528
00:56:27,566 --> 00:56:27,566
district schools. And I ask you to vote no on this resolution for ice collaboration. Passage

529
00:56:31,632 --> 00:56:35,466
of this resolution to allow ice into schools will create an environment of fear and trauma that will shatter the trust and safety that are essential for learning and be extremely

530
00:56:39,432 --> 00:56:42,299
detrimental to our most vulnerable students and families. My understanding is that the district already has a policy that protects students against ice. This resolution

531
00:56:45,866 --> 00:56:49,699
undermines that protection, violates the law, and risks costly lawsuits that would take away resources from our classrooms. By even entertaining this resolution,

532
00:56:53,599 --> 00:56:53,599
the board is distracted from its job of ensuring every child's right to a good public

533
00:56:58,399 --> 00:56:58,399
education district. I implore the board to vote no and do the right and moral thing. Thank

534
00:57:04,966 --> 00:57:04,966
you, thank you. My honor. Hi, my name is ubaydah. I'm a organizer with the party for

535
00:57:14,632 --> 00:57:14,632
socialism and liberation, and I'm here to talk to all of you about not voting for resolution

536
00:57:20,399 --> 00:57:20,399
2525. That's because we don't want violence to be a common thread or a common interest for

537
00:57:25,399 --> 00:57:25,399
our students. This is going to be opening our schools to ice. Ice has already killed two

538
00:57:30,099 --> 00:57:30,099
people in minnesota. Blades herself has a history of violence. Being a former cop,

539
00:57:34,732 --> 00:57:34,732
we understand this. We don't want blades or anybody really here to make our students, our

540
00:57:40,166 --> 00:57:44,166
families, feel more unsafe than they already are. The federal agencies are already on our backs, and the school should be a safe place for us, our students and everybody else.

541
00:57:48,832 --> 00:57:48,832
and just one more thing about this specifically voting yes on two, five, two, five. It makes

542
00:57:54,032 --> 00:57:57,999
it clear that you're standing with the federal agencies that are attacking our families, as opposed to our families ourselves. You're standing with the violence that blades and

543
00:58:02,132 --> 00:58:02,132
ice perpetrates, as opposed to the safety that we as students and families are asking for.

544
00:58:07,899 --> 00:58:07,899
thank you. Okay, before you start, I just want to make sure we're on track with numbers. So

545
00:58:17,666 --> 00:58:17,666
we didn't forget anybody. We should be 11. Your number 11. Yeah. And did we get eight,

546
00:58:21,799 --> 00:58:21,799
nine and ten? Are we missing anyone? You okay? We're missing angeles. Oh, yeah. Sorry we

547
00:58:29,099 --> 00:58:29,099
switched. I miss angeles, yes. Okay. As a community member and educator, I oppose leandra

548
00:58:34,899 --> 00:58:34,899
blades proposition for ice cooperation in schools. With latinos making up 45% of the

549
00:58:39,932 --> 00:58:39,932
student population and one of the most heavily targeted groups by ice enforcement.

550
00:58:44,632 --> 00:58:44,632
leandra's proposition is inherently violent. It's ridiculous that a school board

551
00:58:49,299 --> 00:58:49,299
whose mission is to prioritize a place conducive to learning is seriously considering

552
00:58:54,399 --> 00:58:54,399
allowing literal children to be assaulted by adult federal agents. Ice has already killed

553
00:59:00,466 --> 00:59:00,466
multiple people since the reign of terror began, so for leandra to propose ice cooperation

554
00:59:05,832 --> 00:59:05,832
means she does not care whether our kids live or die. Leandra blades does not see our kids as

555
00:59:11,899 --> 00:59:11,899
human beings. And if you ask me, someone like that should not be making decisions for kids. And

556
00:59:16,066 --> 00:59:20,066
if any other school board member is in support of this proposal, then you two are complicit in the violence against our kids and our community and should be

557
00:59:23,166 --> 00:59:23,166
terminated from your position. Ice out of oc and ice out of schools. Number 12. Number 12.

558
00:59:37,499 --> 00:59:37,499
yes. Perfect. Can I start? Yes. Okay. Hi. Thank you all for being here. Can you state your

559
00:59:41,999 --> 00:59:41,999
name, please? Suzy, I am a parent in the school district, and I also have had the honor

560
00:59:46,899 --> 00:59:46,899
of growing up in yorba linda. When I first moved to yorba linda, I was only in first

561
00:59:52,032 --> 00:59:52,032
grade and it was a pretty homogenous city. Seeing that we've evolved and grown to have

562
00:59:57,332 --> 00:59:57,332
this beautiful diaspora of different demographics, different immigrant populations

563
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:02,599
that have come and contributed to yorba linda has been such an amazing and inspiring thing to

564
01:00:07,432 --> 01:00:07,432
see. We have been voted the most wealthiest, safest city. How many times? That is due to

565
01:00:14,632 --> 01:00:14,632
our amazing communities. And now you want to sit there and take people away from the

566
01:00:20,332 --> 01:00:20,332
communities that have directly contributed to the economy of yorba linda and placentia. And

567
01:00:25,099 --> 01:00:25,099
you want to go after our children. You guys are the board of school members. You

568
01:00:30,099 --> 01:00:30,099
need to have integrity. And I know you all love children, and I know that you all have hearts,

569
01:00:35,499 --> 01:00:35,499
so let that lead your decision. Integrity. Don't forget integrity. Okay. Thank you.

570
01:00:46,299 --> 01:00:46,299
number 13. 1314. Who's 13? Sorry. I'm 13. Perfect. I'm amy cheeseboro. Okay. Are we ready?

571
01:00:59,232 --> 01:00:59,232
our campuses are required to follow strict safety and legal access procedures. Staff

572
01:01:04,266 --> 01:01:04,266
verified id authorization documentation before allowing entry or releasing a child.

573
01:01:09,332 --> 01:01:09,332
these are rules. These rules exist to protect students and staff and are not optional. The

574
01:01:14,366 --> 01:01:14,366
resolution would put staff in the position to open the door to people who do not have the

575
01:01:18,799 --> 01:01:18,799
proper documentation to release a child safely. School employees are not the courts

576
01:01:24,266 --> 01:01:24,266
and should not be asked to open the doors to strangers without the proper warrants backed by

577
01:01:28,532 --> 01:01:28,532
the courts. If access is lawful, it should come with proper documentation and warrants. I'm

578
01:01:35,232 --> 01:01:35,232
asking the board to support consistent safety protocols and require verified legal

579
01:01:42,466 --> 01:01:42,466
authorization warrants before campus or any other property owned by the district would

580
01:01:48,232 --> 01:01:48,232
allow a child or staff's removal. I say no to this open access. This is not legal. Do

581
01:01:54,299 --> 01:01:54,299
not adopt an unlawful policy allowing children to enter schools or classrooms, or best

582
01:02:01,466 --> 01:02:01,466
number 14. 14 hi, I'm jessica coghill, I'm a parent. I'm also an employee for the school

583
01:02:13,766 --> 01:02:13,766
district, and I am the co-director for the orange county chapter of the american

584
01:02:18,099 --> 01:02:18,099
indian movement. I'm here to disagree with ice entering our school, our schools, as we've

585
01:02:25,666 --> 01:02:25,666
seen already, the acts of violence towards people of color, even people not of color,

586
01:02:33,532 --> 01:02:33,532
and various cities across our nation. And I am viermi viermi I can't say it. I am opposed,

587
01:02:42,932 --> 01:02:42,932
seriously opposed to any ice coming in and causing any disruption for our children.

588
01:02:49,432 --> 01:02:49,432
they are supposed to come to school to learn, and they shouldn't have to fear for

589
01:02:54,432 --> 01:02:54,432
being taken from their families. I am hoping that everybody on this board will disagree with

590
01:03:02,032 --> 01:03:02,032
leandra. Okay, we are now moving to numbers 15 through 21. If you'll find your spots in

591
01:03:10,132 --> 01:03:10,132
the front here, 15 to 21. My name is al judd. I'm a father of a kid that goes to el dorado,

592
01:03:17,566 --> 01:03:17,566
and I'm here to talk to you. This this ice is not legitimate law enforcement. They are not

593
01:03:22,899 --> 01:03:22,899
here to to enforce laws. They are under a directive from steven miller, the deputy white

594
01:03:27,132 --> 01:03:27,132
house chief of staff, which is part of the heritage foundation project 2025 mandate. They are

595
01:03:31,966 --> 01:03:31,966
not accountable, they have no identification, and they're recruited from the same

596
01:03:36,566 --> 01:03:36,566
militias that you spent january 6th with in our nation's capitol. They're the same

597
01:03:41,566 --> 01:03:41,566
people we want to be able to hear. Please keep it down. And you are intending to infiltrate

598
01:03:47,732 --> 01:03:47,732
our schools with those agents to destroy these minority kids? Are you out of your mind? We

599
01:03:54,599 --> 01:03:54,599
will not tolerate. I will not tolerate. I will fight to defend and support this

600
01:03:59,966 --> 01:03:59,966
constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And you are subversive,

601
01:04:04,632 --> 01:04:04,632
domestic enemy of our country. And I will not tolerate it. You can sit there with that silly

602
01:04:09,432 --> 01:04:09,432
little smirk on your face all night long. These kids are giving you or giving you martin

603
01:04:14,666 --> 01:04:14,666
luther king right now that malcolm energy is coming next. Number 16 please. My name is

604
01:04:29,132 --> 01:04:29,132
aguilera and I'm a parent in this district. I'm also first generation mexican american, a

605
01:04:34,532 --> 01:04:34,532
home owner, an mba graduate, and a branch manager for one of our largest credit unions here

606
01:04:39,532 --> 01:04:39,532
in this local community. But most importantly, I'm a mother of two young boys who I trust

607
01:04:43,999 --> 01:04:43,999
the school system to keep safe, supported, and focused on learning. I'm here tonight

608
01:04:49,066 --> 01:04:53,032
because I'm deeply concerned about the immigration enforcement aspect being tied to law enforcement presence in our campuses. Schools should be places where children feel safe,

609
01:04:57,932 --> 01:04:57,932
welcome, and able to learn, not where families fear to. Showing up to school could put them at

610
01:05:02,599 --> 01:05:02,599
risk. When fear enters the classroom, learning leaves many families in our community,

611
01:05:08,366 --> 01:05:08,366
regardless of status, work hard. We pay taxes. We value education as a path to

612
01:05:13,399 --> 01:05:17,366
opportunity. Policies that blur the line between school safety and immigration enforcement risk discouraging parental involvement, student attendance, and trust between families in

613
01:05:22,399 --> 01:05:22,399
our schools. I fully support safe campuses. Every parent does, but safety must include

614
01:05:30,332 --> 01:05:30,332
safety as well. Number 1717. Thank you. Hello, my name is tara krohn. I'm a mother of a

615
01:05:40,766 --> 01:05:40,766
child that goes to wagner. I'm also a licensed clinical social worker, and I am trained in

616
01:05:46,532 --> 01:05:46,532
trauma informed care and aces. For those of you that don't know what aces are, it's

617
01:05:51,332 --> 01:05:51,332
adverse childhood experiences. I want to speak today regarding resolution 2525. I'm I'm deeply

618
01:05:59,832 --> 01:05:59,832
concerned for the well-being of our children. The presence of ice on a school campus would

619
01:06:04,932 --> 01:06:04,932
profoundly traumatize not only the children that could potentially potentially be

620
01:06:09,232 --> 01:06:09,232
intercepted, but also for the many children who had witnessed their classmates being removed

621
01:06:13,332 --> 01:06:13,332
by force. Research consistently shows that exposure to fear, instability, and perceived

622
01:06:18,566 --> 01:06:18,566
threats to safety can have long, lifelong impacts on child on a child's physical health and

623
01:06:23,732 --> 01:06:23,732
mental health, academic performance, and sense of security. Schools must be safe

624
01:06:29,966 --> 01:06:29,966
spaces places where children fear, feel protected, supported and able to learn without fear.

625
01:06:35,399 --> 01:06:35,399
allowing enforcement actions on campus undermines the safety and creates harm. Yes, please

626
01:06:47,766 --> 01:06:47,766
state your name and then go ahead and start. Good evening. My name is eric gow and I'm

627
01:06:51,832 --> 01:06:51,832
speaking on behalf of kailee garcia, mila janz, emma wang and many other voices at yorba

628
01:06:55,932 --> 01:06:55,932
linda high school. As a first generation immigrant, I waited years to be naturalized taking

629
01:07:00,199 --> 01:07:03,966
care to do everything right. However, the recen actions of ice agents across the country have led me to doubt the security provided that was promised to be

630
01:07:08,699 --> 01:07:08,699
provided to me by the citizenship I waited so long to get. There has been over 170

631
01:07:12,966 --> 01:07:12,966
american citizens who have already been mistakenly identified and detained by ice

632
01:07:17,699 --> 01:07:17,699
agents. Allowing ice agents onto campuses could potentially subject our community to

633
01:07:22,366 --> 01:07:25,799
contribute to this number, disrupting the feeling of safety on campus for hundreds of students trying to produce, trying to pursue an education and bright future. Currently,

634
01:07:30,132 --> 01:07:30,132
the pills student school district is facing a lawsuit from the trump administration

635
01:07:35,266 --> 01:07:35,266
and not complying with california bill ab 49 and sb 98. We are opening the doors to

636
01:07:40,766 --> 01:07:40,766
retaliation from both the state and federal governments. Paralyzed is currently

637
01:07:45,066 --> 01:07:45,066
operating under a budget deficit, and students do not need any more retaliation due

638
01:07:49,499 --> 01:07:49,499
to the politics. Number 19. 19. Thank you, members of the board. My name is nicole beamer. I'm a

639
01:08:04,099 --> 01:08:08,066
mother of a child in the district and also a former graduate. You begin your mission statement by promising a safe, secure and supportive learning environment for all

640
01:08:12,766 --> 01:08:12,766
students and staff. So I'm asking you plainly, is that mission upheld? If resolution

641
01:08:17,432 --> 01:08:17,432
2020 2525 is approved, safe can be defined as a state place, state place or action, free

642
01:08:24,766 --> 01:08:24,766
from danger, injury, harm, risk or fear. An approving resolution, resolution 2525,

643
01:08:30,032 --> 01:08:30,032
does not create safety. It creates anxiety, trauma and silence. And if this board does

644
01:08:35,899 --> 01:08:35,899
believe that emotional harm of students is an acceptable consequence, then where is the

645
01:08:40,099 --> 01:08:40,099
budget amendment to accompany the resolution? One that offers funding for licensed

646
01:08:44,799 --> 01:08:44,799
psychologists to provide free therapy to students forced to process the trauma of seeing

647
01:08:49,466 --> 01:08:49,466
classmates removed by federal agents, or fearing that they will be next. Schools must be a

648
01:08:55,966 --> 01:08:59,399
sanctuary. Parents should be able to drop off their children, confident that they'll be there at pickup. And when that trust is broken, learning stops. Number 20. Oh, hello, my name

649
01:09:11,332 --> 01:09:11,332
is omar montoya. I am a concerned citizen on the board of placentia and a substitute

650
01:09:15,799 --> 01:09:15,799
teacher from sau usd. I've looked through a proposal 22.6 in the agenda and found it went

651
01:09:21,732 --> 01:09:21,732
directly against the changes in education code section 234.7 that california attorney

652
01:09:27,299 --> 01:09:27,299
general rob bonta updated for 2026. The proposal implies educators to comply with

653
01:09:33,066 --> 01:09:36,666
immigration enforcement regardless if they are on the premises legally. I think the language is very unclear and should be specified, especially since it direct quotes from it

654
01:09:41,732 --> 01:09:41,732
are taken to use and imply the exact opposite of what those proposals say. In california,

655
01:09:46,999 --> 01:09:46,999
state law and state law suggests that we are shall not provide any information, help

656
01:09:55,032 --> 01:09:55,032
assist in immigration enforcement unless they provide an id and a judicial warrant. I

657
01:10:02,199 --> 01:10:02,199
whenever I travel to school to school site as a teacher, I'm required by law to sign in

658
01:10:06,532 --> 01:10:06,532
prison, present id and state my purpose to ensure the safety of our students. It's weird having

659
01:10:10,932 --> 01:10:10,932
if I didn't. Thank you. Good evening. I'm tom langan, I am the grandfather of two half

660
01:10:23,766 --> 01:10:23,766
guatemalan boys. I have heard a whole range of things about this. Whether it happened or

661
01:10:31,699 --> 01:10:31,699
not. The student being tackled by ice that led to the walkout. Did that in fact happen? If it

662
01:10:42,532 --> 01:10:42,532
did not happen, who spread that rumor and why would they spread that rumor? I've also heard

663
01:10:49,732 --> 01:10:49,732
that you're an ogre. You don't look like an ogre to me. Leandra. I'm sorry for the way

664
01:10:56,666 --> 01:10:56,666
that gentleman spoke to you. Gentleman, I use loosely. I'm here. You're not a gentleman.

665
01:11:04,832 --> 01:11:04,832
please keep your comments directed toward us. Thank you. Did that in fact happen? What's

666
01:11:13,599 --> 01:11:13,599
the truth? Does anyone really know? Okay. That makes moves us now to numbers 22 through 28.

667
01:11:25,699 --> 01:11:25,699
if you'll take your spot at the front, please. Do you do? Okay. Please keep it peaceful in the

668
01:11:42,266 --> 01:11:42,266
back or we'll have to have you removed. This is the one warning, sir. You with the gray

669
01:11:47,766 --> 01:11:47,766
hair that just spoke. I am the one conservative speaker. I'm warning because of

670
01:11:55,566 --> 01:11:55,566
conversations that are happening in the back. And we need to stop it so we can move

671
01:11:59,666 --> 01:11:59,666
on. Thank you very much. Go ahead. Number 22. Thank you. My name is josh martinez, and I'm

672
01:12:03,866 --> 01:12:03,866
here to ask that we reject approval of resolution 2525. Members of the board rejecting

673
01:12:12,699 --> 01:12:12,699
this resolution is not anti-law enforcement. It is pro student pro safety and pro law schools

674
01:12:18,966 --> 01:12:18,966
exist to teach core subjects and provide safe, supportive learning environments. While

675
01:12:23,332 --> 01:12:23,332
law enforcement plays an important role in campus safety, bringing ice enforcement into

676
01:12:28,332 --> 01:12:28,332
classrooms is an adult issue that creates fear, distracts from learning, and undermines

677
01:12:33,366 --> 01:12:33,366
parental trust. The very things that this district claims to prioritize. State law board

678
01:12:39,166 --> 01:12:39,166
policy 1445. Plyler versus doe and ferpa oh protect students and families from enforcement

679
01:12:45,632 --> 01:12:45,632
actions that interfere with education. Our duty is clear keep schools focused on

680
01:12:50,999 --> 01:12:50,999
students, not fear. Every child deserves safety and trust, and this resolution threatens both.

681
01:13:05,432 --> 01:13:09,432
greetings of peace. My name is nina fernando and I have two young children who are currently enrolled in the district. Thank you so much to those of you on the board and

682
01:13:13,799 --> 01:13:13,799
to our incredible teachers and school staff who are working hard to ensure that all of our

683
01:13:18,566 --> 01:13:18,566
students, regardless of what they look like or where they were born, every single one of

684
01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:22,732
them feels safe going to school. My kids are currently learning about the values of belonging,

685
01:13:28,132 --> 01:13:28,132
of kindness, about what it means to be community helpers and their schools. Prioritize

686
01:13:32,432 --> 01:13:32,432
social emotional learning. It is clear we adults need these lessons and reminders to all of

687
01:13:38,866 --> 01:13:38,866
you. Know that allowing ice agents to enter our school classrooms or busses would

688
01:13:44,266 --> 01:13:44,266
traumatize our children, not keep them safe. We all know this, I ask you. Additionally,

689
01:13:49,732 --> 01:13:53,699
please provide adequate training so that staff understand exactly what to do to keep our schools safe and busses safe. Free from ice. We must reject exclusion and

690
01:13:59,799 --> 01:13:59,799
violence in our schools. Let us build belonging and kindness alongside our children. I'm so

691
01:14:04,832 --> 01:14:04,832
encouraged by these high schoolers that are here. Let our policies reflect this.

692
01:14:11,332 --> 01:14:11,332
number 24. My name is aaron luo and I'm a student at yorba linda high school. I'm speaking

693
01:14:19,966 --> 01:14:19,966
in opposition to resolution 2525. As students, we depend on our schools and teachers to

694
01:14:27,166 --> 01:14:27,166
stand up for us and protect our safety. That is the basic expectation when we walk onto

695
01:14:32,899 --> 01:14:32,899
campus each morning, I want to ask the board directly if ice on campus results in a student

696
01:14:40,466 --> 01:14:40,466
being wrongfully detained or injured who accepts responsibility for that outcome,

697
01:14:46,599 --> 01:14:46,599
please stand up for your students and vote no on resolution 2525. Number 25.

698
01:14:58,132 --> 01:14:58,132
okay. Hi, my name is evelyn villavicencio. I grew up here in yorba linda. I went through

699
01:15:02,999 --> 01:15:02,999
all my grade schools. I have to say, you know, I was very disappointed to hear that you

700
01:15:08,132 --> 01:15:12,099
guys were going to be, you know, makes me very emotional. But partnering with ice and allowing that my daughter is starting her tc and she loves her school. But we have to do

701
01:15:18,632 --> 01:15:18,632
better in teaching our kids to love one another. Allowing ice into our schools will

702
01:15:22,899 --> 01:15:22,899
traumatize our kids and normalize this kind of cruelty. This is in fact not normal and

703
01:15:27,599 --> 01:15:27,599
should not be allowed in our schools. We must vote no on 2525. We have to. This is not

704
01:15:35,199 --> 01:15:35,199
kind. Thank you. I've been out of order. Bill glennon, district alumni parent. Yet

705
01:15:47,399 --> 01:15:51,332
again, we have a board member who is going about making our community less desirable, just district more unstable. Most importantly, our teachers and staff students less safe. We do

706
01:15:55,332 --> 01:15:55,332
not need a resolution. This district's been a model for decades, partnering with local

707
01:16:00,799 --> 01:16:04,699
authorities. The idea is partizan nonsense in search of a problem that doesn't exist. The notion that any school would welcome heavily armed, masked aggressors on campuses.

708
01:16:08,699 --> 01:16:08,699
absurd, completely bonkers idea. Literally screams of wanting to put children in danger. What

709
01:16:12,999 --> 01:16:16,699
normal, decent person would ever want this? None. Only a morally bankrupt soul would think it's okay to terrorize and embarrass a child over an issue they cannot control. But

710
01:16:20,599 --> 01:16:23,899
that's the pattern with this board member terrorizing innocent children over their own personal issues that are out of there, that are none of her business. The clown show

711
01:16:28,432 --> 01:16:31,566
needs to stop. Enough of the talking point nonsense, conspiracy theories, boogeymen that don't exist, all coming from a party that's lost its moral compass. The resolution,

712
01:16:36,766 --> 01:16:36,766
the resolution to consider is censuring this clown and the selfish, fear mongering bigotry

713
01:16:41,932 --> 01:16:41,932
of said member that has gone on for too long. School should be a safe haven for. Number 27.

714
01:16:53,999 --> 01:16:53,999
hello, my name is patrick tran and I am an alumnus of valencia high school class of 2025. I

715
01:17:00,599 --> 01:17:00,599
would like to give some remarks regarding the proposed resolution. Number 2525. I see

716
01:17:09,132 --> 01:17:09,132
here that it cites the proposed board policy. 1445 so it's contingent on that. But I see

717
01:17:19,599 --> 01:17:19,599
that the quote that it cites from board policy 1445 does not like it comes from a larger

718
01:17:29,632 --> 01:17:29,632
block of text, and this does not support what resolution 2525 seems to imply that it

719
01:17:39,766 --> 01:17:39,766
supports in reality, this block of text limits cooperation with immigration enforcement, and

720
01:17:48,032 --> 01:17:48,032
the quoted text is simply a liability limitation mechanism, not opening to collaboration

721
01:17:56,866 --> 01:17:56,866
with immigration enforcement. Thank you. Number 28. Hello. My name is shane cook. I'm

722
01:18:05,299 --> 01:18:05,299
speaking on something that may have been swept under the rug due to current events. I go to

723
01:18:09,566 --> 01:18:12,732
esperanza high school. I've come to speak about the investigation our district is currently undergoing due to violation of title nine, meaning we are allowing

724
01:18:15,799 --> 01:18:15,799
biological males to play in women's sports. If our district is found to be in violation, we

725
01:18:20,632 --> 01:18:24,399
will directly lose funding. My school has already had a declining enrollment rate and has had a required class cutbacks. I would hate to see my friends in grades below me

726
01:18:29,599 --> 01:18:29,599
lose even more than they have. Due to the recklessness of the board. When did we start

727
01:18:35,032 --> 01:18:38,232
catering to a few select individuals? Once instead of an entire district of students needs? This also directly affects trans athletes as well. With a lack of funding, the

728
01:18:42,599 --> 01:18:46,366
privilege of playing on teams will quickly cease for all students. Board members swore an oath to obey the constitution, and under the us constitution supremacy clause,

729
01:18:49,999 --> 01:18:49,999
federal laws take procedure over local school board policies, meaning blatant

730
01:18:54,299 --> 01:18:54,299
disregard for federal laws is unconstitutional in any member. Disobeying federal law should

731
01:18:58,532 --> 01:18:58,532
be fired. Thank you. Okay, that brings us now to 29 through 36, please. 35, 29 through 35. Okay.

732
01:19:25,232 --> 01:19:25,232
we'll start with 29. Good evening. My name is sebastian. I'm a student at el dorado, and

733
01:19:35,132 --> 01:19:38,266
I'm here to talk about the resolution involving ice. Alejandro blades is putting forward. School is supposed to be a safe place for everyone. But when isis permitted into

734
01:19:44,266 --> 01:19:44,266
classrooms, it creates fear and a setting where it should like. People shouldn't be scared

735
01:19:50,332 --> 01:19:50,332
there. It affects my peers who are scared to come to school or walk back home. And on top of

736
01:19:55,732 --> 01:19:55,732
that, they have to worry about their families worrying that they could be taken or stopped

737
01:19:59,832 --> 01:20:03,766
just for existing cooperation with ice and schools is unacceptable, and every student deserves to feel safe walking onto campus no matter what, who they are or where they're from.

738
01:20:08,032 --> 01:20:08,032
please keep ice out of our schools. 30. Hi. Good evening. My name is cheryl. I am the mom

739
01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:19,199
of a four year old in placentia unified. Placentia-yorba linda unified school district. I just

740
01:20:28,232 --> 01:20:28,232
my problem with this resolution is that it's called supporting law enforcement. And it does

741
01:20:32,532 --> 01:20:32,532
not center children. It does not center their well-being. It does not specify how the board

742
01:20:39,132 --> 01:20:39,132
is going to. Claire like both clarify and specify what is going to be done to keep our

743
01:20:46,466 --> 01:20:46,466
kids safe. I do not want masked armed law enforcement to be on the campus near my kid. I don't

744
01:20:54,232 --> 01:20:54,232
want them to be near my kid's friends. I don't want them to be near teachers or school

745
01:20:59,166 --> 01:20:59,166
administrators. I think that leandra has has full trust and faith in law enforcement, and

746
01:21:06,432 --> 01:21:06,432
so she minimizes and invalidates the experience of a lot of kids of color. And

747
01:21:11,066 --> 01:21:11,066
that's exactly what this resolution shows and the way that it's written. So I just

748
01:21:16,432 --> 01:21:16,432
feel like. Number 31. This resolution is meant to affirm our cooperation with law

749
01:21:27,999 --> 01:21:31,566
enforcement in alignment with existing state policies, and to ensure that staff members aren't making false or inflammatory statements about law enforcement to our students.

750
01:21:35,932 --> 01:21:39,899
that's where the fear is coming from. The events of the last week prove exactly why this policy is necessary. Instead of a civil policy, a civil policy debate, we've seen the spread

751
01:21:45,299 --> 01:21:45,299
of malicious and unsubstantiated narratives on social media. The story of a

752
01:21:49,932 --> 01:21:49,932
local student being violently chased and detained by ice at gunpoint has not been

753
01:21:54,666 --> 01:21:54,666
corroborated by a single police department. Yet this fiction was used to incite a mass

754
01:21:58,966 --> 01:21:58,966
walkout, where students held signs filled with profanity and hateful rhetoric, even calling

755
01:22:03,632 --> 01:22:03,632
leandra a nazi and saying a dead nazi is a good nazi. Most troubling is that many of the

756
01:22:09,532 --> 01:22:13,499
signs handed out to the students were clearly marked as funded by the party for socialism and liberation. When the superintendent was asked to clarify the facts and reassure

757
01:22:17,499 --> 01:22:21,266
the students that they were safe from these imaginary raids, she refused, claiming she didn't want to insert herself into politics, but by remaining silent while a false narrative

758
01:22:27,032 --> 01:22:27,032
radicalized students and harass the police. Complete your comments. Please complete your

759
01:22:31,666 --> 01:22:31,666
comments. Please complete your comments. Thank you very much. Okay. Number 32. Hi, my name is

760
01:22:41,332 --> 01:22:41,332
jose ramirez. I'm a graduate of valencia and a parent of a current senior at el dorado.

761
01:22:47,166 --> 01:22:47,166
I'm here to speak on to your hearts that to vote against this resolution, having ice at

762
01:22:54,099 --> 01:22:54,099
our schools. Growing up here in placentia, I was taught to go to school and feel safe. How

763
01:22:59,599 --> 01:22:59,599
does this make our children safe as a parent? I'm talking to you guys. How does that make

764
01:23:04,832 --> 01:23:04,832
our children safe across the whole whole school district? So please reconsider your thoughts

765
01:23:09,466 --> 01:23:09,466
and vote no thank you. Hello, my name is sharon. I'm a local parent and I've watched for

766
01:23:20,732 --> 01:23:20,732
years as leandra and todd and their group have targeted the most vulnerable students like

767
01:23:26,099 --> 01:23:26,099
lgbtq and now immigrants in this district over and over and their child is bullied.

768
01:23:30,199 --> 01:23:30,199
bullying is just sad, and this wink and nod to ice is pretty pathetic. Now, all three of my

769
01:23:36,132 --> 01:23:36,132
kids did north county basketball. We've done volleyball. We've done swimming

770
01:23:40,366 --> 01:23:40,366
at east. So I'm curious if you consulted any of the many sports organizations that use

771
01:23:45,132 --> 01:23:45,132
district property before you've done this. Does north county want ice terrorizing basketball

772
01:23:49,699 --> 01:23:49,699
or volleyball games? Does west yorba linda or east hills want ice arresting parents at their

773
01:23:55,232 --> 01:23:55,232
games? Does I nine or east aquatics want ice coming in and you know kidnaping kids there?

774
01:24:02,432 --> 01:24:02,432
will any other districts want to play in placentia-yorba linda after leandra blades

775
01:24:06,766 --> 01:24:06,766
invited them into your schools. So you're probably stuck with leandra for a few years, but

776
01:24:11,532 --> 01:24:11,532
you can vote todd out this year. I think that sounds like a good idea. Okay, number 34. My name

777
01:24:22,366 --> 01:24:22,366
is cruz flores. We're moving on. Number 34. My name is cruz flores and I live in placentia.

778
01:24:29,066 --> 01:24:29,066
I'm here to I want you not to pass this resolution because I'm a grown up. I'm a united

779
01:24:34,666 --> 01:24:34,666
states citizen, and I'm afraid to walk the streets without the proper id. I cannot imagine the

780
01:24:40,232 --> 01:24:40,232
the fear that our students will have if they have to go to school and and not have the

781
01:24:45,299 --> 01:24:45,299
proper id. I also want to remind the board of the supreme court case of clare versus doe.

782
01:24:51,366 --> 01:24:51,366
every child has a constitutional right to a public education, regardless of

783
01:24:55,799 --> 01:24:55,799
their status. It's like, and if you pass a resolution, it will undermine this law. Thank you.

784
01:25:03,966 --> 01:25:03,966
number 35. Hi. My name is shani murray. A majority of americans think ice has gone too far.

785
01:25:15,466 --> 01:25:15,466
there are serious concerns about excessive and lethal use of force, lack of

786
01:25:20,199 --> 01:25:20,199
accountability and racial profiling. Leandra admitted as much in a social media comment

787
01:25:24,666 --> 01:25:24,666
about latino and asian students feeling targeted. No student should feel targeted in a

788
01:25:29,266 --> 01:25:29,266
school environment. Leandra proposed resolution does nothing to address those

789
01:25:34,599 --> 01:25:34,599
concerns or reassure pille students and their families, not the original resolution in

790
01:25:39,632 --> 01:25:39,632
its support for immigration officers or the revised version and its misleading

791
01:25:44,332 --> 01:25:44,332
representation of board policy. 1445. So I applaud students for exercising their first

792
01:25:49,666 --> 01:25:49,666
amendment right and peacefully protesting to demand empathy, respect and transparency. I

793
01:25:55,466 --> 01:25:55,466
also applaud placentia p.d. For their expertise and professionalism in supporting

794
01:25:59,999 --> 01:25:59,999
most students rights and community safety. I'm here tonight asking the board to

795
01:26:04,499 --> 01:26:04,499
listen to students and reject proposed resolution. 2525. Thank you. Number 36 I'll read

796
01:26:12,466 --> 01:26:12,466
it out yet. So we're going to call on the next group. Sorry, 36 to 42. Okay. Number 36. You

797
01:26:32,099 --> 01:26:32,099
can go first. Hi. My name is carlos castaneda. I am here to. Okay. Under the california

798
01:26:42,632 --> 01:26:42,632
education code, section two four. I mean, I'm sorry, through two three, 4.7 school

799
01:26:50,566 --> 01:26:50,566
district are legally required to educate and train the staff and to inform parents and

800
01:26:59,166 --> 01:26:59,166
students about immigration related rights and process. So the question that I have here

801
01:27:08,232 --> 01:27:08,232
for you guys, if you guys already educate your staff on the school district, this past

802
01:27:16,099 --> 01:27:16,099
monday, I went to el dorado high school, you know, to get educated about the immigration

803
01:27:21,466 --> 01:27:21,466
situation that was going on. And I spoke to the assistant principal on the, on, on the on

804
01:27:27,632 --> 01:27:27,632
the other assistant principal, male and female. And they didn't know nothing about the

805
01:27:32,299 --> 01:27:32,299
how to handle the immigration process. They didn't even know the difference between a

806
01:27:38,399 --> 01:27:38,399
judicial board comment. Thank you sir. Okay. Our next speaker number 37. Hello. Thank you,

807
01:27:47,466 --> 01:27:47,466
board members, for having me here today. My name is juan lopez. I come from el dorado

808
01:27:51,599 --> 01:27:51,599
high school. One situation that I wanted to talk about was the bathroom situation,

809
01:27:55,699 --> 01:27:55,699
specifically the smoking. It's been a very bad, pleasant time to use the restroom because

810
01:28:01,566 --> 01:28:01,566
there's always people smoking in there and I don't mind waiting in line or anything.

811
01:28:05,832 --> 01:28:05,832
but sometimes when I'm trying to use the bathroom during passing periods, it's very hard

812
01:28:09,866 --> 01:28:09,866
for me to do that because it's just filled up everything with people smoking. And I decided

813
01:28:14,799 --> 01:28:14,799
to wear a green tie because I wear of health, and I want us to be able to use the bathroom

814
01:28:20,966 --> 01:28:20,966
in peace and not have to worry about any of the bad chemicals in the air. Thank you. Thank

815
01:28:27,366 --> 01:28:27,366
you. Number 38. Good evening. My name is doctor nicholas burns. I have worked as a stem

816
01:28:36,332 --> 01:28:40,266
educator for the last ten years and multiple different capacities. I'm here to voice my opposition to allowing ice into any school within orange county. It is well established

817
01:28:45,432 --> 01:28:45,432
law that any child, regardless of immigration status, is entitled to an education free

818
01:28:50,699 --> 01:28:50,699
from governmental intimidation or obstruction. I urge the placentia-yorba linda unified

819
01:28:56,066 --> 01:28:56,066
school district board to uphold the law and, more importantly, uphold the trust and duty

820
01:29:01,499 --> 01:29:01,499
charged to them as educators, allowing an equal education opportunity for any student

821
01:29:08,699 --> 01:29:08,699
within their district. That is all. Thank you. Okay. Number 39. Hi. Good evening. Members of

822
01:29:18,832 --> 01:29:18,832
the board, ben stubbs. As a parent in the district, I believe in protecting all our

823
01:29:22,899 --> 01:29:22,899
kids and maintaining schools where students feel safe, welcome and secure the spirit

824
01:29:27,199 --> 01:29:27,199
of ab 49 points in that direction. I commend trustee alondra blades for bringing

825
01:29:31,732 --> 01:29:31,732
resolution 2025 forward so that the board and community can openly discuss its

826
01:29:36,799 --> 01:29:36,799
implementation and where this district stands on law enforcement in 2026. Clarity

827
01:29:41,066 --> 01:29:41,066
matters. Across the country, we see public officials, even governors, questioning whether

828
01:29:45,399 --> 01:29:45,399
certain federal officers are legitimate law enforcement. We've seen very young students

829
01:29:50,466 --> 01:29:50,466
led into public protests. Opposing police. Parents deserve to know our district

830
01:29:55,132 --> 01:29:55,132
will not pick and choose which laws or officers it respects. This resolution, alongside ab

831
01:30:01,999 --> 01:30:01,999
49 and updated policy, reassures families that no one will obstruct lawful operations

832
01:30:06,132 --> 01:30:06,132
on campus because when that happens, it creates danger and trauma for students. Policy may

833
01:30:10,266 --> 01:30:10,266
already exist, but families deserve a public, unified commitment to safety and the

834
01:30:14,532 --> 01:30:14,532
rule of law. Via this resolution. I support 2025. Thank you. Okay. Number 40.

835
01:30:25,766 --> 01:30:25,766
hello. My name is zen and I am a junior from el dorado high school. I have some concerns

836
01:30:30,132 --> 01:30:33,866
regarding leandra blades resolution 2525. She's a grown adult trustee on the school board. Yet I question her expertise due to arguing with students via facebook and

837
01:30:37,266 --> 01:30:40,966
instagram. Even as a student, I can see that this is unprofessional. She is calling out students, falsely accusing them of propaganda while she publicly posted all of the

838
01:30:44,099 --> 01:30:44,099
information on her facebook. I do not approve of any of her actions, including bringing

839
01:30:48,166 --> 01:30:52,032
politics into our school. She claims she wants safety for all children, yet she has harmed people as a student and child. I do not feel safe and I speak for many of my peers when I say

840
01:30:57,832 --> 01:30:57,832
I want leandra blades out. I shouldn't fear a federal officer ripping me away from my

841
01:31:01,866 --> 01:31:05,099
family in an environment where I'm supposed to gain an education. I want leandra blades out. She clearly shows lack of human empathy and does not see what children truly

842
01:31:09,132 --> 01:31:12,099
need. And if she believes arguing online, downplaying strong feelings, and seeing us as manipulative and incompetent because we see her, we see her for who she truly is. And if

843
01:31:16,899 --> 01:31:20,832
that's someone you want working for your district, you count me and many other students transferring because I shouldn't be scared that I will be. I will not make it home to

844
01:31:24,899 --> 01:31:24,899
my mother's arms. I should be scared about my academic performance. Number 41. Hello,

845
01:31:37,366 --> 01:31:37,366
my name is darcy garcia. This proposal is a contradiction in itself. It mentions the mission

846
01:31:41,866 --> 01:31:45,866
of the school district is to provide safe, secure and supportive learning environment for all students and staff. How is allowing armed men wearing masks and not identifying

847
01:31:50,299 --> 01:31:50,299
themselves to remove children from our campuses safe, secure or supportive, claiming the

848
01:31:55,399 --> 01:31:55,399
need to protect national security? Please clarify what national security are the

849
01:32:00,366 --> 01:32:00,366
minors attending our schools threatening you are directly compromising respect for the

850
01:32:05,432 --> 01:32:09,432
rule of law. When you expose our youth to unlawful searches and seizures, our principals and teachers have been working tirelessly building trust with our students. And if you have

851
01:32:13,366 --> 01:32:13,366
mast agents while armed with guns and pepper spray, forcing their way into classrooms so

852
01:32:17,566 --> 01:32:17,566
they can roughly place minors into handcuffs and cart them away to some random detention

853
01:32:21,999 --> 01:32:25,999
center, you'll be radicalizing our youth to not only turn on law enforcement as they grow up, but you're breaking all the trust that our teachers have built over years with their

854
01:32:30,299 --> 01:32:34,232
students. This is going to backfire in the highest order. Let's also consider that our school district is currently suffering from financial shortfalls. Can they afford a

855
01:32:38,866 --> 01:32:38,866
mountain of lawsuits? Number 42. Hello. Hello, my name is vivian garcia, a student, and I'm. And

856
01:32:50,199 --> 01:32:50,199
I'm a student at kramer middle school. I'm here because of the proposal that would allow ice

857
01:32:54,932 --> 01:32:54,932
into our classrooms. School is a place to learn a safe space where I spend most of my day.

858
01:32:59,099 --> 01:32:59,099
and that is how it should feel safe. If I knew that ice had the power to show up at our

859
01:33:04,899 --> 01:33:08,899
campus armed with weapons and chemicals whenever they felt like it, on any given day, I would no longer feel safe. I would be too distracted worrying about my safety, my

860
01:33:12,132 --> 01:33:16,066
classmates safety, my teachers safety, and my own safety to learn middle school is hard enough. Please do. Please don't allow this. Thank you for listening. We are moving to our

861
01:33:20,066 --> 01:33:20,066
next group numbers 43 through 4943. You'll be first for those. The rest of you, we have a

862
01:33:26,332 --> 01:33:26,332
front row here for you. You can just find a seat there and we'll call your name or your

863
01:33:31,299 --> 01:33:31,299
number soon. We're at 43. Go ahead. Good evening. My name is maxwell liu, and I'm a

864
01:33:36,499 --> 01:33:40,432
sophomore at valencia high school. I'm here today to talk about leandro blades resolution calling for district wide support of ice. Leandro blades wants to deport and detain

865
01:33:46,199 --> 01:33:46,199
dangerous immigrants. But that's the problem. Our students at our schools aren't

866
01:33:51,299 --> 01:33:51,299
dangerous aliens. We are good people. We are children, and we are members of society. We are

867
01:33:58,466 --> 01:33:58,466
hardworking. We care about our education. We care about our future and the future of our

868
01:34:02,832 --> 01:34:02,832
nation. And clearly, leandro blades doesn't agree with that. This resolution isn't to

869
01:34:07,866 --> 01:34:07,866
protect education, our safety or our lives. This resolution is offered and proposed to

870
01:34:15,032 --> 01:34:15,032
support the maga and white supremacist agenda and implement it into our schools.

871
01:34:20,766 --> 01:34:20,766
thank you. Number 44. Good evening. My name is sharif. I'm a father of a student at yorba

872
01:34:32,732 --> 01:34:32,732
linda high school. I've never done this before, so please allow me a gang of proud boys,

873
01:34:40,266 --> 01:34:40,266
groypers, white supremacists, insurrectionists, and general mercenaries in masks without

874
01:34:47,066 --> 01:34:47,066
identification or warrants into our schools is a crime in itself. You guys are here to

875
01:34:52,432 --> 01:34:52,432
protect our kids, not to countdown to jeffrey epstein's best friend or his minions

876
01:35:00,032 --> 01:35:00,032
running around with conspiracy theories. And our students are getting paid. They're getting

877
01:35:05,099 --> 01:35:05,099
pushed with zero evidence. If this happened somewhere else, they would get sued for

878
01:35:10,832 --> 01:35:10,832
defamation. Protect our kids. Don't listen to that crap. God bless you guys. At number 45.

879
01:35:21,632 --> 01:35:21,632
my name is michael saucedo. I raised my children here from elementary to high school, and

880
01:35:26,666 --> 01:35:26,666
I've coached sports in many years as well. And to have this discussion at all in 2026 is,

881
01:35:33,199 --> 01:35:33,199
quite frankly, really, really embarrassing. I used to be proud of this district. I'm not.

882
01:35:38,532 --> 01:35:38,532
right now. We're here to demand no masked men with guns around our children. We will make sure

883
01:35:45,732 --> 01:35:45,732
this backfires on you, and it will just by the way that this is played out in our where we

884
01:35:51,566 --> 01:35:51,566
are in the united states now, so the media will know about it, the social media will know

885
01:35:56,566 --> 01:35:56,566
about it. Everybody will know all the details about what you're doing. You guys are up

886
01:36:01,099 --> 01:36:01,099
for election in 2026 and 2028. Just do a good job. Protect our kids. Don't allow guns here.

887
01:36:07,366 --> 01:36:07,366
this is not the place for it. Okay. Number 46. Hi. Good afternoon or good evening. My

888
01:36:19,232 --> 01:36:19,232
name is amy fujitani and I'm my child attends tines elementary school. I'm here today to speak

889
01:36:24,566 --> 01:36:24,566
out against agenda items 22.3 and 22.6. As a parent, I am horrified by the idea that we

890
01:36:31,366 --> 01:36:31,366
would open our schools, which is one of the very few places left where children can feel

891
01:36:35,799 --> 01:36:35,799
safe, to a group of armed and masked thugs without a court issued warrant, never mind

892
01:36:42,632 --> 01:36:42,632
allowing the school district to collect our children's immigration status to further

893
01:36:46,999 --> 01:36:46,999
threaten their ability to learn safely. This is not only unbelievable, it is

894
01:36:51,999 --> 01:36:51,999
unequivocally illegal. Ice has no place in our schools, let alone in our country. As

895
01:36:57,032 --> 01:36:57,032
stewards of our district, it is your responsibility to protect our children, our teachers and

896
01:37:02,432 --> 01:37:02,432
our school staff by affirming that no one and no group is above the law. Vote no against

897
01:37:09,299 --> 01:37:09,299
these resolutions and keep ice out of our schools. Thank you. Number 47. Hello, I'm alejandra

898
01:37:21,899 --> 01:37:21,899
and I am an alumni of the school district, and I want to also mention to vote no on

899
01:37:26,932 --> 01:37:26,932
agenda item 22.3, which would remove the district's policy to collect immigration, to not

900
01:37:33,732 --> 01:37:33,732
collect immigration information. Children are not criminals. No student should feel targeted or

901
01:37:40,199 --> 01:37:40,199
unsafe because of their race, language, culture or immigration status. Allowing

902
01:37:44,932 --> 01:37:44,932
ice activity around schools disrupts learning, harms mental health, and fractures trust

903
01:37:50,666 --> 01:37:50,666
between families and schools. The district has a responsibility to educate, not

904
01:37:57,166 --> 01:37:57,166
intimidate, to nurture, not divide. I urge you to clearly reaffirm that schools are safe

905
01:38:03,599 --> 01:38:03,599
spaces for all students, and I also want to remind the board that your actions have

906
01:38:08,666 --> 01:38:08,666
consequences that you'll have to live with for the rest of your lives. Yes. Number 48. My

907
01:38:19,499 --> 01:38:23,299
name is bethany anderson. I live in the topaz elementary neighborhood and run solidarity, an organization serving students from topaz, kramer, tuffrey, el dorado, and

908
01:38:26,999 --> 01:38:26,999
valencia. I also practice immigration law. If you need an education on how just about

909
01:38:31,299 --> 01:38:34,266
everything this administration is doing with regard to our immigration system and enforcement is in direct violation of our law. I'll need more than a minute, but trust

910
01:38:38,299 --> 01:38:38,299
me, this is a litmus test for the dismantling of our democracy, and you are playing

911
01:38:42,332 --> 01:38:45,599
right into the hands of white supremacy. Miss blades, your proposal isn't bold leadership. It's reckless against state law. And it tells immigrant families that their children are

912
01:38:49,299 --> 01:38:52,966
bargaining chips. And your political performance school exists to protect children and foster trust. This policy does the opposite. When an elected official tries to advance a

913
01:38:57,266 --> 01:38:57,266
policy that violates the law and erodes the safety of students, accountability is not

914
01:39:01,566 --> 01:39:01,566
optional. Mrs. Blades. If you cannot uphold your duty to protect all students and follow

915
01:39:05,732 --> 01:39:05,732
the law, you should resign immediately. One day, one day. In the future, our children

916
01:39:12,199 --> 01:39:12,199
will learn about this time in our history. And the reality is that you, miss blades, and any

917
01:39:16,666 --> 01:39:16,666
of you that support this policy will have to live in the shameful legacy of being on the

918
01:39:21,566 --> 01:39:21,566
wrong side of history. Number 49. My name is cassie and I'm a parent here at pil. Our

919
01:39:35,432 --> 01:39:39,399
children really should be focused on learning, not on whether their friends or they themselves will be taken by masked men. Ask yourselves, how does this protect our children?

920
01:39:44,232 --> 01:39:44,232
how does it enhance their learning? If the answer is it doesn't, then we should not

921
01:39:48,366 --> 01:39:48,366
adopt this. I would say the district does not have to cooperate to this extent. With

922
01:39:55,266 --> 01:39:55,266
ice. You don't have to let them on campus like that. If parents don't feel safe sending their

923
01:39:59,932 --> 01:39:59,932
kids, they're not going to send their kids there. Nobody would. I wouldn't. You wouldn't. I'm

924
01:40:04,932 --> 01:40:04,932
sure I would stall on your guys's profiles. A lot of the biographies that you guys are

925
01:40:09,666 --> 01:40:09,666
all christians. You go to church, remember that. We all have to answer to god alone by

926
01:40:15,732 --> 01:40:15,732
ourselves. Hello. I'm. I'm deborah correa of two children in the district. I just wanted

927
01:40:26,299 --> 01:40:26,299
to say thank you for stating earlier in the year that ice needs warrants. I would add ids

928
01:40:31,966 --> 01:40:31,966
please also needed and that teachers and staff cannot share immigration information. It

929
01:40:37,399 --> 01:40:37,399
doesn't need to be collected. I think resolution 2525 confuses the issue. It goes without

930
01:40:43,099 --> 01:40:43,099
saying that the district complies with legitimate law enforcement. That goes without

931
01:40:47,366 --> 01:40:47,366
saying. Of course we do. It doesn't need to be restated. What does need to be stated is

932
01:40:51,766 --> 01:40:51,766
support for children, regardless of immigration status. Thank you. So that was

933
01:40:58,032 --> 01:40:58,032
50. We're at 51. And how many more do we have left through 55? Okay. So 51 through 55 will go

934
01:41:08,732 --> 01:41:08,732
ahead and move on with that. If you haven't moved to the front yet 56 is there a 56. There's a

935
01:41:16,232 --> 01:41:16,232
56 okay. My name is adriana gabriel cruz and I'm a parent within the district. I'm here

936
01:41:25,199 --> 01:41:25,199
tonight with deep concern and urgency to ask this board to exercise empathy, wisdom and

937
01:41:30,632 --> 01:41:30,632
moral leadership. First and foremost, on behalf of the children you're elected to

938
01:41:34,966 --> 01:41:34,966
serve, schools must remain safe, welcoming learning environments for all students, regardless of

939
01:41:39,999 --> 01:41:39,999
your individual political beliefs. Your responsibility as public servants is to act in

940
01:41:44,632 --> 01:41:44,632
the best interest of every student in this district, approving a resolution that

941
01:41:48,932 --> 01:41:48,932
allows cooperation with ice on school campuses with directly undermine that responsibility

942
01:41:54,366 --> 01:41:54,366
and place students at risk emotionally, psychologically and socially. While trustee

943
01:41:59,799 --> 01:41:59,799
leandra blades is entitled to her personal views, those views should never jeopardize the

944
01:42:04,466 --> 01:42:04,466
safety or emotional well-being of students. Controversy and political ideology must never

945
01:42:09,866 --> 01:42:09,866
take precedence over the fundamental mission of public education. Protecting and

946
01:42:14,932 --> 01:42:14,932
educating children. I urge you to follow the example set by neighboring districts that have

947
01:42:19,966 --> 01:42:19,966
taken clear steps to protect students safety, social emotional well-being, and

948
01:42:26,799 --> 01:42:26,799
number 52. Good evening, superintendent and trustees, john quackenbush. Sorry, with

949
01:42:37,932 --> 01:42:37,932
resolution 2525. Sorry. Board policy 1445 includes the respect for law enforcement and

950
01:42:47,666 --> 01:42:47,666
immigration enforcement while respecting the fourth amendment of the us constitution. The

951
01:42:52,066 --> 01:42:52,066
right of the student, the people, the students to be secure in their persons, houses,

952
01:42:56,299 --> 01:42:56,299
papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. We don't need an

953
01:43:00,966 --> 01:43:00,966
additional resolution that contradicts that. That throws other confusion in there. It's

954
01:43:06,732 --> 01:43:06,732
already stated in our board policy. Also, the placentia pd, the county sheriff's, already

955
01:43:13,566 --> 01:43:13,566
worked together with the district respectfully. The district respects them.

956
01:43:17,899 --> 01:43:17,899
students respect them, the community respects them. There is already that respect there

957
01:43:22,599 --> 01:43:22,599
between us and the police. The last thing I want to say is look at you should be proud of

958
01:43:27,599 --> 01:43:31,432
the leaders that we've been talking about that you're developing with at least ten students tonight at number 53. My name is leanne al-naimi, and I don't understand why leandra

959
01:43:43,466 --> 01:43:43,466
blades would propose cooperation with ice in our district when it is extremely

960
01:43:48,199 --> 01:43:51,599
discriminatory and unprofessional. My peers and I do not feel safe knowing that our schools would not stop ice from entering our campus. The school board's top priority

961
01:43:56,099 --> 01:43:56,099
should be a student's safety, and this is clearly harmful not only to our physical, but also

962
01:44:00,366 --> 01:44:00,366
mental health. I noticed leandra blades has put effort into banning critical race

963
01:44:05,066 --> 01:44:05,066
theory, which is the study of how racism shapes our laws today. Her reasoning, according

964
01:44:09,399 --> 01:44:09,399
to abc seven los angeles, being that crt is racist towards white people. So the study of

965
01:44:16,599 --> 01:44:16,599
how racism affects our laws today is racist towards white people and inappropriate to be

966
01:44:22,366 --> 01:44:22,366
taught at schools. And I have this question why is it that the study of racism in our laws

967
01:44:26,799 --> 01:44:26,799
today seen as inappropriate to be taught in schools while allowing ice on our campuses is

968
01:44:31,366 --> 01:44:31,366
seen as acceptable? Students should worry about tests, not whether they will see their

969
01:44:35,866 --> 01:44:35,866
families tomorrow. Ice should be kept out of schools and out of placentia. Number 54. Hi, my

970
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:51,199
name is julie herrick. I'm an alumni of wagner, van buren and el dorado, and I'm here in

971
01:44:56,199 --> 01:44:56,199
solidarity with the students and parents in asking you to vote against resolution 2025.

972
01:45:01,632 --> 01:45:01,632
in school, I learned about some dark chapters in our history and how we would never let them

973
01:45:05,766 --> 01:45:05,766
happen again. And today, I'm grieved to watch my nation build a masked secret police

974
01:45:09,899 --> 01:45:09,899
force with no accountability and no regard for our constitutional rights. School

975
01:45:13,999 --> 01:45:17,432
should be a place where human rights are respected, regardless of race or immigration status, and a place where all students feel safe to learn. Let's learn from our

976
01:45:21,732 --> 01:45:21,732
history and do better. Ice out of schools and ice out of everywhere. Number 55. Good

977
01:45:31,799 --> 01:45:31,799
evening. My name is jess. I'm a queer freshman at yorba linda high school. I've been in this

978
01:45:36,166 --> 01:45:39,932
district since kindergarten, ever since I immigrated to the us. At five years old, I learned to speak english in this district. Resolution number 2525 threatens to turn

979
01:45:44,399 --> 01:45:48,399
our community into a place of fear. This resolution would allow ice agents to, in private areas during school hours without judicial warrants. I hope you understand what that

980
01:45:51,666 --> 01:45:55,666
means to a student like me. It means sitting in class wondering if someone will walk through the door and take a classmate away. It means leaving for school every day,

981
01:45:59,566 --> 01:46:02,966
not knowing if it will be my classmates last. It means students choosing silence and absence over learning. I want to be very honest with you. If this resolution passes,

982
01:46:06,899 --> 01:46:10,566
students will stop coming to school. Not because they don't care about education, but because fear is stronger than attendance policies. You cannot teach students who are afraid

983
01:46:13,766 --> 01:46:13,766
to be seen. This is not about politics. This is about our rights. I'm asking you to

984
01:46:17,999 --> 01:46:17,999
reject resolution 2525. I'm asking you to keep me and my fellow students safe. I urge

985
01:46:22,766 --> 01:46:22,766
you to choose students over fear. Choose us. My little sister will be enrolled in this

986
01:46:27,299 --> 01:46:27,299
district next year. As an older sister, I urge you to protect our rights as students. Thank

987
01:46:31,832 --> 01:46:31,832
you. Number 56. Dave radlauer. I think the community has spoken in overwhelming voice

988
01:46:46,766 --> 01:46:46,766
regarding the opposition to 2525. So I'm not even going to address that ridiculous

989
01:46:51,766 --> 01:46:51,766
proposal. My concern, however, has to do with board policy. 1445 the language in the

990
01:46:58,232 --> 01:46:58,232
however paragraph contradicts all paragraphs before it. It prohibits. It says we should.

991
01:47:06,832 --> 01:47:06,832
the original text says we shall not allow these things to happen, but if they happen, we

992
01:47:14,066 --> 01:47:14,066
have to allow it. We can't do that. And that same language appears in 2525. We've got to

993
01:47:20,932 --> 01:47:20,932
find a better way to do this. The csba language was a suggestion as a starting point,

994
01:47:26,632 --> 01:47:26,632
not an end point, including this language in our board policy is going to create

995
01:47:33,166 --> 01:47:33,166
confusion and is going to create a massive amount of litigation. If ice agents

996
01:47:38,899 --> 01:47:38,899
decide they are going to nonetheless enter our schools. Okay. So that takes us now to

997
01:47:54,332 --> 01:47:54,332
our action items. I get to my page here. Okay. So for we have moved, just so you're all aware,

998
01:48:14,566 --> 01:48:14,566
if you didn't hear before, we have moved those two policies up to discuss those first. So

999
01:48:20,766 --> 01:48:20,766
I'll need a motion first for adopting board policy. 1445 response to immigration

1000
01:48:26,399 --> 01:48:26,399
enforcement. So moved second. Okay, we have a first and a second, and I'll open it up for

1001
01:48:33,899 --> 01:48:33,899
any comments. Well, I think we should put it up on the screen and then maybe I'll I'll read

1002
01:48:39,832 --> 01:48:39,832
it. This is our response to immigration enforcement, correct. Yes. Okay. We all have

1003
01:48:44,532 --> 01:48:44,532
a copy of it. So is it up on the screen for everybody to see? Because I think that from what

1004
01:48:49,832 --> 01:48:49,832
we've heard tonight, people have not read the policy or the resolution. And so I think

1005
01:48:55,599 --> 01:48:55,599
everybody needs to hear the policy and we should have it read. The governing board is

1006
01:49:00,299 --> 01:49:03,799
committed to the success of all students, and believes that every school site should be a safe and welcoming place for all students and their families, irrespective of their

1007
01:49:07,832 --> 01:49:07,832
citizenship or immigration status. Unless required by state or federal law, required

1059
01:54:05,066 --> 01:54:08,999
regulation, and any other board policies and administrative administrative regulations required by education code 234.7. Okay, before you get started, I want to pass it over.

1060
01:54:16,932 --> 01:54:16,932
thank you for reading it. Pass it over to staff to doctor kim to introduce, because we didn't

1061
01:54:23,332 --> 01:54:23,332
get a chance to do that. I skipped over. So apologies. You can yeah. Thank you. We'll hand

1062
01:54:29,132 --> 01:54:29,132
it over to doctor pedraza who is going to whose team has been a part of the development of

1063
01:54:34,966 --> 01:54:34,966
this policy to meet the requirements by the state that we have the policy in place and

1064
01:54:40,399 --> 01:54:40,399
uploaded by march 1st. So, doctor, could you restate, kim? Sorry. Could you restate that

1065
01:54:44,799 --> 01:54:44,799
what you just said? Yes, please. What did I just say? Requirement. Oh, yeah. There is

1066
01:54:49,699 --> 01:54:49,699
a requirement by the state of california, and and miss gray is going to go through that

1067
01:54:53,866 --> 01:54:53,866
background. So I'm going to have her restate it. If that's okay I'll go ahead and go

1068
01:54:58,032 --> 01:55:01,799
through the background. And then baldwin will go through the policy in more detail. Thank you. Okay. So recent changes in state law, along with updated guidance from the

1069
01:55:05,932 --> 01:55:05,932
california department of education and the california attorney general's office,

1070
01:55:10,266 --> 01:55:10,266
including amendments to education code section two, three, 4.7 have expanded school

1071
01:55:15,266 --> 01:55:15,266
district responsibilities to safeguard students and families from immigration enforcement

1072
01:55:20,666 --> 01:55:20,666
actions that could disrupt the educational environment or impede access to public

1073
01:55:25,366 --> 01:55:25,366
education. So assembly bill 49 and related state directives require districts to align

1074
01:55:30,432 --> 01:55:30,432
local policies with the attorney general's revised model policies, ensuring

1075
01:55:36,132 --> 01:55:36,132
appropriate staff training, inform families of their rights, and submit updated policy

1076
01:55:42,299 --> 01:55:42,299
policies to the cde by march 1st, 2026. This proposed policy replaces the recommendation to

1077
01:55:50,932 --> 01:55:50,932
delete board policy 5145.13 student immigration status, which will be later on in the

1078
01:55:58,132 --> 01:55:58,132
agenda. So at its core, this policy reaffirms pills long standing commitment to

1079
01:56:03,899 --> 01:56:07,832
maintaining safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration status. It strengthens protections related to confidentiality, access to

1080
01:56:13,266 --> 01:56:13,266
campuses and staff, response to immigration enforcement requests, while ensuring

1081
01:56:18,632 --> 01:56:18,632
consistency with current legal requirements. These updates are about clarity, consistency, and

1082
01:56:23,666 --> 01:56:27,632
compliance with state law, ensuring that we protect student rights and uphold every student's right to public education. And now doctor pedraza will go over details

1083
01:56:32,299 --> 01:56:32,299
about it. And we do have legal counsel here who is an expert in this. And so he's there to

1084
01:56:39,032 --> 01:56:43,032
answer any questions. His name is tony demarco and he's there next to doctor pedraza. Yeah. Yeah. Well good evening. Thank you, miss gray. Good evening. President, board of trustees,

1085
01:56:47,466 --> 01:56:47,466
doctor kim and members of our executive cabinet. Just as miss gray shared the move from. One

1086
01:56:55,432 --> 01:56:55,432
thing I wanted to point out as well, too, was the move from the student section to

1087
01:56:59,699 --> 01:57:03,432
community relations as well too. So it's moving to a more collective, community based look at this piece as well. Again, the opening section does reaffirm the district's

1088
01:57:07,932 --> 01:57:11,166
commitment to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for all students and families, regardless of citizenship or immigration status, as well as in the next

1089
01:57:17,332 --> 01:57:17,332
section. With one through four, we see that that section clearly states, unless required

1090
01:57:22,499 --> 01:57:22,499
by state federal law or presented with a valid court ordered subpoena warrant,

1091
01:57:26,699 --> 01:57:26,699
judicial order district staff shall not collect, seek, disclose any, or provide any

1092
01:57:32,766 --> 01:57:32,766
information related to immigration status and that is extended to students, families

1093
01:57:37,799 --> 01:57:37,799
as well as district personnel, and also not grant access to nonpublic school places as well.

1094
01:57:44,699 --> 01:57:44,699
as we move forward into the into the policy that next section, the paragraph that

1095
01:57:49,399 --> 01:57:49,399
starts with, however it does as you had as we've seen, reinforce again that one

1096
01:57:56,599 --> 01:57:56,599
through four without a judicial subpoena, warrant or court order. What we don't want to

1097
01:58:01,999 --> 01:58:01,999
see is we don't want to escalate the situation. So we don't want to we don't want

1098
01:58:06,632 --> 01:58:06,632
them, our staff looking to escalate the situation. So even without our permission, if they

1099
01:58:10,932 --> 01:58:10,932
do come on, we are not going to escalate the situation and put anybody in harm's way in terms

1100
01:58:16,066 --> 01:58:16,066
of capability. The policy extends privacy protections not only for students and families,

1101
01:58:24,166 --> 01:58:24,166
but also to district employees and personnel records as well any, as mentioned, any

1102
01:58:30,032 --> 01:58:30,032
complaints alleging discrimination, harassment, intimidation or bullying based

1103
01:58:34,066 --> 01:58:37,632
on actual or perceived immigration status will be addressed through our uniform complaint procedures. And then the policy confirms that parents and guardians are

1104
01:58:43,032 --> 01:58:46,599
informed of their children's right to a free public education, regardless of immigration status and their rights related to immigration enforcement. And our

1105
01:58:51,666 --> 01:58:55,366
superintendent or designee shall establish clear procedures, provide staff training with appropriate for appropriate response for responding to immigration

1106
01:58:58,832 --> 01:58:58,832
enforcement requests, and you will operate. Operationalize those in administrative

1107
01:59:03,866 --> 01:59:03,866
regulations as well. And then also to close up immigration enforcement requests for access

1108
01:59:11,432 --> 01:59:11,432
of information will be reported to the board in a timely manner while ensuring confidentiality

1109
01:59:16,132 --> 01:59:20,066
and privacy. The policy confirms the district's obligation to provide the policy and related regulations, as mentioned by the california department of education upon

1110
01:59:25,866 --> 01:59:29,466
request. So overall, the revised policy strengthens clarity, aligns with the current state law and federal law, and ensures that our schools remain safe, welcoming,

1111
01:59:33,599 --> 01:59:33,599
and legally protected spaces for our students, families and for our staff as well. Okay,

1112
01:59:40,599 --> 01:59:40,599
thank you, doctor pedraza. Just a question, mr. Demarco. Can you clarify the. However,

1113
01:59:50,332 --> 01:59:50,332
district staff shall not obstruct and why that is there? Of course. First. Good evening.

1114
01:59:57,232 --> 01:59:57,232
it's nice to be here with you guys. As doctor has said, it is an element of risk management

1115
02:00:03,832 --> 02:00:03,832
in part to not have our employees attempting to obstruct or interfere with law

1116
02:00:10,099 --> 02:00:10,099
enforcement. It kind of goes with the paragraphs above. There are certain things that

1117
02:00:15,166 --> 02:00:15,166
our employees may not do under the law. And as somewhat of an aside, those are established

1118
02:00:21,999 --> 02:00:21,999
principles. These are not really new principles for us in advising school districts on

1119
02:00:27,766 --> 02:00:27,766
how to interact with law enforcement. We've always required judicial warrants.

1120
02:00:32,099 --> 02:00:32,099
we've always required lawfully issued subpoenas before we'll release this type of

1121
02:00:37,499 --> 02:00:37,499
information. One of the questions that has come up is how do school districts sites

1122
02:00:42,866 --> 02:00:42,866
know what is a lawfully issued document through training is the answer. And when you're not

1123
02:00:48,232 --> 02:00:48,232
able to discern as an employee what is or is not a judicially issued warrant or lawfully

1124
02:00:55,832 --> 02:00:55,832
issued subpoena, you ask legal counsel. We're very responsive to that. Absent those legal

1125
02:01:03,432 --> 02:01:03,432
rights of law enforcement to enter campus, are typical instruction to staff is not to

1126
02:01:08,432 --> 02:01:08,432
subject themselves to obstructing or interfering with law enforcement action of any

1127
02:01:13,866 --> 02:01:13,866
kind. So this is really how we've been advising school districts for my whole career.

1128
02:01:18,199 --> 02:01:18,199
it's about 25 years. Nothing has changed. What we're doing now is we're putting in writing,

1129
02:01:22,799 --> 02:01:22,799
pursuant to the new state laws and the guidance of the doj. And the cde does answer your

1130
02:01:28,199 --> 02:01:28,199
question, mr. Demarco. So what we're seeing here and what we're hearing from the crowd is

1131
02:01:35,099 --> 02:01:35,099
that they're fearful now that with this policy going through and with the accompanying

1132
02:01:40,499 --> 02:01:40,499
resolution, is ice going to be able to just willy nilly go onto campuses and kidnap

1133
02:01:46,266 --> 02:01:46,266
children and kidnap family members? I don't know about that. Specifically, the way it

1134
02:01:50,832 --> 02:01:50,832
was worded with respect to the changes in state law. Your board policy has proposed 1445

1135
02:01:57,766 --> 02:01:57,766
adequately addresses not allowing them or granting them permission to come on campus.

1136
02:02:03,132 --> 02:02:03,132
whether law enforcement asserts themselves and enters any nonpublic areas or school

1137
02:02:08,932 --> 02:02:08,932
busses or other district sponsored activities or locations, that's sometimes

1138
02:02:13,632 --> 02:02:17,599
what law enforcement does. They refer to something called exigent circumstances. We have to deal with that after the fact. I'm aware of two instances in california so far,

1139
02:02:22,599 --> 02:02:22,599
since the elevated ice activity has become prominent. Both of them were something that we

1140
02:02:29,032 --> 02:02:33,032
were able to manage after the fact by interfacing with our local law enforcement and then our local law enforcement interfaces with the federal authorities on our behalf. And

1141
02:02:38,032 --> 02:02:38,032
how many times in our district has federal law enforcement come onto our campuses? Are you

1142
02:02:48,499 --> 02:02:48,499
asking me? Okay. I'm okay. Sorry, I wasn't sure because I thought you were talking to mr.

1143
02:02:54,132 --> 02:02:54,132
demarco in in checking with doctor pedraza and our team, we do not have any documented that

1144
02:02:59,299 --> 02:02:59,299
I'm aware of. So everyone who's come here tonight yelling and screaming, that ice is in our

1145
02:03:05,832 --> 02:03:05,832
campuses and ice is taking the children out. Okay? Please, please keep your comments down

1146
02:03:14,432 --> 02:03:14,432
in the audience. We can clarify. It hasn't happened, but it's not impossible to happen. And

1147
02:03:19,499 --> 02:03:23,466
that's why we have this board policy in place to protect ourselves, correct? Yeah. There's no way to predict that would happen yesterday, today or tomorrow, but it has not at

1148
02:03:28,266 --> 02:03:28,266
this point. The question that was asked. No. And you're right. There's no way to say it won't

1149
02:03:33,132 --> 02:03:33,132
happen tomorrow. We can't we can't say that. I have a question. Just because a

1150
02:03:39,599 --> 02:03:39,599
suggestion has been made, and they've used this in other districts with that language

1151
02:03:44,666 --> 02:03:44,666
there. However, district staff shall not physically impede an officer or employee. Can you

1152
02:03:50,166 --> 02:03:50,166
talk a little bit about how would we able would we be able to use that instead so that

1153
02:03:55,866 --> 02:03:55,866
it's more definitive instead of just not obstruct but physically striking, obstruct,

1154
02:04:03,066 --> 02:04:03,066
interfere or with or otherwise. So it would just say district district staff shall not

1155
02:04:08,066 --> 02:04:08,066
physically impede an officer or employee. The only the only caution that I would give you

1156
02:04:15,632 --> 02:04:15,632
is obstruction. Interference. Those are defined terms. Obstruction in particular is

1157
02:04:19,899 --> 02:04:19,899
one that's frequently used in the law enforcement community, whereas can you maybe define

1158
02:04:25,499 --> 02:04:25,499
that simply? If possible, I could look it up and respond for sure. But I do hear about

1159
02:04:30,766 --> 02:04:30,766
obstruction of justice obstruction on a regular basis. So. Your the proposal that was

1160
02:04:38,666 --> 02:04:38,666
floated was shall not physically impede. I will submit that was the the intent

1161
02:04:46,966 --> 02:04:46,966
of the language was from again a risk management perspective is not having our employees

1162
02:04:52,699 --> 02:04:52,699
physically intercede between law enforcement and their intended activities. So would

1163
02:04:58,599 --> 02:04:58,599
that be? I've just concerned about the word obstruct. Concerned because what? Because

1164
02:05:06,032 --> 02:05:06,032
why? Well, let marilyn, if I could finish my thought, I'd be happy to explain to you,

1165
02:05:11,832 --> 02:05:11,832
because obstruct means that you're are resisting, delaying, or obstructing a police officer

1166
02:05:17,566 --> 02:05:17,566
in an official performance of a lawful duty. And this section here is when they just are

1167
02:05:25,099 --> 02:05:25,099
coming on without a warrant, correct, or no subpoena or no, that's not what this is talking

1168
02:05:35,566 --> 02:05:35,566
about. No, I don't think this is limited to circumstances where there's no warrant or

1169
02:05:42,032 --> 02:05:42,032
other lawful permission to enter campus. It could be exigent circumstances as well.

1170
02:05:47,799 --> 02:05:47,799
okay. Because that's how I thought it was read. And I think that's why there's so

1171
02:05:53,032 --> 02:05:53,032
much confusion about that part. And I just feel like it needs to be clear. So you're saying

1172
02:06:03,299 --> 02:06:03,299
this because I'm thinking of the word however, you know, district staff's not going to

1173
02:06:07,899 --> 02:06:07,899
impede them if they come in without a warrant. But I think that's the intent is that

1174
02:06:13,932 --> 02:06:17,666
district staff not subject themselves to any of these activities, whether you call it obstruction, interference or physically impeding. That's not the role that we want our

1175
02:06:22,899 --> 02:06:22,899
employees from a risk management perspective to take. I tend to agree with the legal

1176
02:06:31,699 --> 02:06:31,699
language that was put together by our counsel to make this legal, follow what we needed to

1177
02:06:38,566 --> 02:06:38,566
do and the requirements for the state and federal authorities. I mean, I, I don't understand

1178
02:06:43,899 --> 02:06:43,899
why we would change the wording. Marilyn, do you have any suggestions on what would make

1179
02:06:57,099 --> 02:06:57,099
it more clear to you? Yeah, I just think if it's for safety, then we we add in wording aboute

1180
02:07:06,466 --> 02:07:06,466
just trying to keep our employees safe. But then it it's contradicting because then

1181
02:07:12,366 --> 02:07:12,366
we're putting our kids into a different situation. And I don't think it gives guidance

1182
02:07:19,066 --> 02:07:19,066
to staff. Like what to do. Like are they supposed to contact law enforcement, contact

1183
02:07:25,632 --> 02:07:25,632
superintendent two two things on that. Trustee anderson is, number one, I would expect the

1184
02:07:30,966 --> 02:07:30,966
administrative regulation to be far more comprehensive in the procedures that are required

1185
02:07:35,966 --> 02:07:35,966
than your board policy, which is adopted to comply with law. And number two, I would expect

1186
02:07:42,166 --> 02:07:42,166
that, again, from a risk management perspective, since I'm legal counsel, we would

1187
02:07:46,199 --> 02:07:46,199
want staff to be in receipt of high level, high quality training by our district office

1188
02:07:52,999 --> 02:07:52,999
administration. That might be doctor pedraza's job, I'm not totally certain. And then also

1189
02:07:58,066 --> 02:07:58,066
in conjunction with local law enforcement as well, is it a isn't it a felony to impede law

1190
02:08:04,832 --> 02:08:04,832
enforcement? I, I believe it might be. I could look that up for you. I'm not a criminal law

1191
02:08:10,566 --> 02:08:10,566
expert. I was just basing this on the the fact that I know that those are legal terms. It

1192
02:08:15,532 --> 02:08:15,532
is against the law to impede law enforcement. So that would probably fall under fa. Excuse

1193
02:08:19,966 --> 02:08:19,966
me. Can you have this person be quiet or is it your. I can handle it. Well then you were

1194
02:08:26,532 --> 02:08:26,532
talking. Handle it. So please keep comments down. Handled. Handled. How about this. Go

1195
02:08:35,732 --> 02:08:35,732
ahead. This gentleman. Do you want to keep making comments or do we want to just talk to the

1196
02:08:39,899 --> 02:08:39,899
audience? Once you get control of the meeting, the meeting is totally in control. Please go

1197
02:08:44,032 --> 02:08:44,032
on with your comments or move on to the next person. So this is basically it is it is

1198
02:08:48,866 --> 02:08:48,866
against the law for people to impede or obstruct law enforcement. So that's why this

1199
02:08:53,199 --> 02:08:57,132
is however, district staff shall not obstruct or interfere with because it is against the law. So that's. Please stop. Please sir, sir, you sir, please stop and thank you for

1200
02:09:06,332 --> 02:09:06,332
leaving. Orange is a crime. So I. I have a question. There's a section at the bottom, and I

1201
02:09:21,932 --> 02:09:21,932
think it's a handful of. It's at the paragraph toward the bottom where it has the one,

1202
02:09:28,266 --> 02:09:31,566
two, three under it. So it starts with the superintendent or designee shall develop procedures for and may provide training to staff on. I would like to strike may and add

1203
02:09:38,066 --> 02:09:38,066
shall so that that becomes a requirement. Even the word shall develop procedures, but

1204
02:09:42,632 --> 02:09:42,632
we may provide training. I think we need shall develop procedures and shall we're

1205
02:09:47,032 --> 02:09:47,032
training. It is it's above the number one on the second page, correct? Yes. Above the number.

1206
02:09:54,966 --> 02:09:54,966
the last series of one, two threes. That second page there like one, two. Provide this.

1207
02:10:01,566 --> 02:10:05,499
the superintendent or designee shall develop procedures for and may provide training. I'm good with that one. So you're wanting to say shall twice. Yes. Shall, shall or will is fine.

1208
02:10:12,932 --> 02:10:12,932
it needs to be not a may. Is there anything that we can do in the paragraph where it says,

1209
02:10:24,499 --> 02:10:24,499
however, district staff shall not, shall not obstruct, interfere otherwise? Is there

1210
02:10:29,899 --> 02:10:29,899
anything that we could add regarding. If, if. Like reinforcing the fact that we

1211
02:10:41,366 --> 02:10:41,366
would have to have a judicial warrant and all of those? I know it stated above, but would

1212
02:10:46,899 --> 02:10:46,899
it be appropriate and make it more clear in that paragraph? If we add those lines restating

1213
02:10:51,866 --> 02:10:51,866
them? But what happens when you have exigent circumstances, or if you have circumstances like

1214
02:10:56,599 --> 02:10:56,599
that, and then you have somebody impeding law enforcement because they say,

1215
02:11:01,699 --> 02:11:05,566
well, you didn't have a warrant. And the officer says, well, this was exigent circumstance. I mean, are you going to put an employee that doesn't have any type of experience? I don't

1216
02:11:10,199 --> 02:11:10,199
want any employees to be at risk, and I don't I would never encourage them. Then that's why

1217
02:11:14,632 --> 02:11:14,632
you say don't obstruct or impede law enforcement. You won't be at risk. And I think,

1218
02:11:18,832 --> 02:11:18,832
I think the point of this is that in general, no matter what the circumstances, you do not

1219
02:11:24,632 --> 02:11:24,632
obstruct, right? I don't if somebody came through the front office and they were going

1220
02:11:28,932 --> 02:11:28,932
through and throwing your body in front of them could cause even more problems. I would

1221
02:11:33,266 --> 02:11:33,266
never suggest that any of our staff do that, but I do want to have make sure that we have

1222
02:11:38,232 --> 02:11:38,232
procedures in place. If that happens, what are the steps that are going to be taken if

1223
02:11:42,999 --> 02:11:46,999
what happens if they obstruct? No, no. If somebody comes in and tries to push through, I just think and I think that would be in the ar though. I mean, I feel like we have this

1224
02:11:52,066 --> 02:11:52,066
conversation a lot about trying to put actual actionable steps inside of policies when that's

1225
02:11:57,632 --> 02:11:57,632
not the place for them. It's in the ar where it defines how we do the procedure. Like that's

1226
02:12:02,666 --> 02:12:02,666
the support for this policy and how we operate it. So I think that those are all good, and

1227
02:12:07,832 --> 02:12:07,832
I'm assuming those are going to be in the ar, and it's going to be very clear and very detailed,

1228
02:12:12,932 --> 02:12:12,932
and the training is going to be great. I think the important part here is that just like you

1229
02:12:17,766 --> 02:12:21,766
said, carrie, you should not be throwing your body in front of law enforcement and doing things to obstruct the law enforcement as they come on campus, regardless of how it

1230
02:12:25,666 --> 02:12:25,666
happens, because we want to keep our staff safe. We want to keep our students safe in all

1231
02:12:29,799 --> 02:12:29,799
of this. Yeah, I have this. I kind of worked on this because this this paragraph bothered me

1232
02:12:36,499 --> 02:12:36,499
for several reasons, but something about district employees are not authorized to

1233
02:12:42,666 --> 02:12:42,666
participate in or intervene in law enforcement activities, including immigration

1234
02:12:47,666 --> 02:12:47,666
enforcement action, in the event such activity occurs on district property, at a

1235
02:12:51,999 --> 02:12:55,932
district sponsored event or on a district provided, transportation staff shall refrain from involvement and promptly notify the superintendent or designee or

1236
02:13:00,632 --> 02:13:00,632
site administrator as administration as possible. Where's that at? That's what I

1237
02:13:05,699 --> 02:13:05,699
came up with. That's my suggestion. My suggestion? Oh yeah, it's alternative. So I

1238
02:13:12,132 --> 02:13:12,132
don't understand. I don't understand that because we this is basically saying if law

1239
02:13:17,566 --> 02:13:21,166
enforcement comes on, if law enforcement comes onto the campus, then obviously they have a duty and we won't get in the way. And so I don't understand why you'd put it any

1240
02:13:26,432 --> 02:13:26,432
other way. They're not supposed to get in the way of law enforcement. You're supposed to

1241
02:13:30,532 --> 02:13:30,532
support and cooperate if they need something and they have a judicial warrant and they have

1242
02:13:36,366 --> 02:13:36,366
all the proper things, then you give them the you give them the information. If it's exigent

1243
02:13:40,932 --> 02:13:44,399
circumstances, I would suggest everybody gets out of the way and lets them do their job. It's just like the bomb threat we had at yorba linda high school. Did anybody, when they

1244
02:13:49,132 --> 02:13:49,132
came tearing through the doors, did anybody say, do you have a warrant? Do you have this? Do

1245
02:13:53,299 --> 02:13:53,299
you have that? No, because they were there for the safety of the kids. They had their guns

1246
02:13:58,132 --> 02:14:02,132
drawn. They went in there and they protected these kids. They put everybody on lockdown. What would happen if a teacher says no? Where's your warrant? We're not locking. We're not locking

1247
02:14:06,132 --> 02:14:09,432
down yorba linda high school because you don't have a warrant that would have fallen under some type of exigent circumstances. And people, like, laugh. But things like this

1248
02:14:13,232 --> 02:14:13,232
happen, things like this happen. And so this is this is just an example. Please, please stop.

1249
02:14:19,799 --> 02:14:19,799
we we can't have conversation with audience. I'm sorry, but this is our board. So no, no,

1250
02:14:25,466 --> 02:14:25,466
no. But I think that this is also too if people people have so focused on ice, what

1251
02:14:30,999 --> 02:14:34,999
everything is talking about too, and even in the resolution is not just discussing ice, it's talking about federal, state and local law enforcement because all of them come onto

1252
02:14:41,432 --> 02:14:41,432
our campuses, like we've said, nobody federal right now. But if we have a kidnaping, god

1253
02:14:46,466 --> 02:14:46,466
forbid, a kidnaping occurs or some type of thing, they chase bank robbers. If they have. If

1254
02:14:55,499 --> 02:14:55,499
we have a bank robbery and somebody gets chased onto campus, fbi comes out and fbi

1255
02:15:00,866 --> 02:15:00,866
handles a lot of kidnapings and bank robberies. There's things like that that federal agencies

1256
02:15:06,299 --> 02:15:06,299
handle. Now, we've just said no federal people have come onto our district, but it does

1257
02:15:10,932 --> 02:15:10,932
happen. So when you say federal, local, state, there's different things. And please, please

1258
02:15:17,766 --> 02:15:17,766
don't please stop because I don't want to have to clear the room. I want you to be able to

1259
02:15:22,999 --> 02:15:22,999
hear and see what's happening, but it can't be disruptive. And so I think that that's where

1260
02:15:27,166 --> 02:15:31,032
all this misinformation is coming from, because everybody is like, even as we're sitting here and again, please. As we sit here and listen to everyone, everyone has come up here and

1261
02:15:42,966 --> 02:15:42,966
only referenced ice. But this policy and the resolution talks about local, state and federal

1262
02:15:49,366 --> 02:15:49,366
law enforcement. And as we're sitting here and we're talking about all of the warrants and

1263
02:15:54,666 --> 02:15:54,666
all of the reasons that they need judicial subpoena, warrant, court order, they need all of

1264
02:16:01,266 --> 02:16:04,999
these things to get onto the campus except exigent circumstances. And still people are sitting here not wanting to ignore these facts. Ice is not coming onto our campuses.

1265
02:16:09,799 --> 02:16:09,799
federal law enforcement is not coming onto our campuses. Like that is not happening. But and

1266
02:16:16,132 --> 02:16:20,066
and to and I'm very disappointed. I'm going to say this too. I'm extremely disappointed with the leadership of this district because as this false narrative

1267
02:16:24,532 --> 02:16:24,532
came out, as things like this were coming and social media, we're doing false reports,

1268
02:16:31,566 --> 02:16:31,566
there was false things in the in over social media about kids from el dorado getting stopped

1269
02:16:36,799 --> 02:16:40,666
by ice. All of these things were happening that weren't true. And there was so much fear mongering in this community. All that would have needed is an email. This is the

1270
02:16:45,599 --> 02:16:45,599
board policy that's coming up on tuesday, and everyone could have sat there and read this

1271
02:16:51,732 --> 02:16:51,732
policy and said, oh, this is about local law enforcement, state and federal law

1272
02:16:57,499 --> 02:17:01,299
enforcement and how they can get onto our campuses. They could have read that. Everybody could have said, this really doesn't different. This really doesn't differ too much from

1273
02:17:05,832 --> 02:17:05,832
what we already have in place, except this expands into families and communities. And

1274
02:17:11,532 --> 02:17:11,532
then maybe we couldn't have had social medias and socialist clubs and buzz and yorba linda

1275
02:17:20,199 --> 02:17:20,199
moms and all these people coming out and running a false narrative and scaring the heck

1276
02:17:24,599 --> 02:17:24,599
out of everybody in our community. Okay, so I, I'm not done. So as we so so this is

1277
02:17:32,666 --> 02:17:32,666
the thing we need to have more leadership out of the district when things like this happen.

1278
02:17:36,799 --> 02:17:36,799
because you come up here and all these people, ice is going to come onto our campus.

1279
02:17:40,866 --> 02:17:43,932
they're going to come in with masks. They're white supremacists. They're this they're that. You're sitting here and we just had law enforcement come onto our

1280
02:17:48,266 --> 02:17:48,266
campus to protect our kids every single day. We have law enforcement on our campuses to

1281
02:17:53,999 --> 02:17:53,999
protect our kids, but suddenly we're fearful of ice. When ice has not been on our campuses.

1282
02:18:01,532 --> 02:18:01,532
the the, the, the child, the kid that yorba linda moms put out that said that he was

1283
02:18:09,166 --> 02:18:09,166
stopped by ice and he was detained and asked for his papers, we know what that

1284
02:18:15,232 --> 02:18:15,232
really happened. That was an 18 year old who was stopped by anaheim pd because he was on a

1285
02:18:21,766 --> 02:18:21,766
bike and he was weaving in and out of traffic, and he was doing dangerous things. A gang

1286
02:18:26,766 --> 02:18:26,766
unit from anaheim pd saw the child or saw the 18 year old and went to go stop him because

1287
02:18:32,666 --> 02:18:32,666
he was almost taking out cars and he was causing traffic incidents. And so when they

1288
02:18:38,966 --> 02:18:38,966
went to pull him over, he ran. And so when he ran and the officers chased him, he fought

1289
02:18:44,732 --> 02:18:44,732
with the officers and was arrested for obstructing. And so we have people saying this

1290
02:18:49,866 --> 02:18:49,866
was an el dorado student who was stopped by ice. Did we have anybody from this district say,

1291
02:18:56,266 --> 02:18:56,266
no, this is not happening. Did we have anybody from leadership here giving this policy out and

1292
02:19:02,399 --> 02:19:02,399
saying, this is not happening. We can't just allow our we can't just allow this type of,

1293
02:19:08,932 --> 02:19:08,932
of stuff to infiltrate our community and run a false narrative, especially against

1294
02:19:13,199 --> 02:19:13,199
our officers who are supposed to protect us. Mr. Demarco, I have a question for you

1295
02:19:19,299 --> 02:19:19,299
regarding this policy. Knowing I and I've forgotten the word now that sometimes happens when

1296
02:19:26,199 --> 02:19:26,199
it's after the fact. Exigent. Exigent circumstances, exigent circumstances, exigent

1297
02:19:31,899 --> 02:19:31,899
circumstances. Could we put in here something related to that? However, exigent circumstances

1298
02:19:37,299 --> 02:19:37,299
happen sometimes law professionals, law enforcement need to come in without proper

1299
02:19:47,432 --> 02:19:47,432
documentation. An emergency, something in there, define it a little bit more, or put it in

1300
02:19:51,466 --> 02:19:51,466
the administrative regulation. I was conferring in sidebar with doctor pedraza. We could

1301
02:19:55,866 --> 02:19:55,866
have an administrative regulation done prior to the next two weeks. So this is

1302
02:20:02,232 --> 02:20:02,232
something that we can move very quickly on. And I think that would address some of trustee

1303
02:20:06,432 --> 02:20:10,399
anderson's concerns. We could accept, if you'll send it to us, the suggestions that you provided orally today as well. We can we can do something with that with with some dispatch.

1304
02:20:16,232 --> 02:20:16,232
so this is a first reading. We have requirements by march 1st uploaded. If we uploaded this

1305
02:20:24,499 --> 02:20:28,299
discussion and then we brought it forward, I think we'll be okay. In talking to surrounding districts. Some of them have even brought it forward this month. So I think cde knows

1306
02:20:32,232 --> 02:20:32,232
that maybe it won't be right by march 1st, but it's well intended. And we we do we I

1307
02:20:37,132 --> 02:20:37,132
mean, we're having a discussion about it now, but but if we're talking about the ars, that has

1308
02:20:41,299 --> 02:20:41,299
nothing to do with the policy, right? Nothing. No. But it would give us some more clarity.

1309
02:20:45,466 --> 02:20:49,399
no, I understand, but that won't change the policy. Yeah, true. So I'm curious why we wouldn't just do it now. So we're okay and then go over the ar at the next board meeting.

1310
02:20:54,399 --> 02:20:54,399
and I have I have a few questions. Mr. Demarco, are you being paid to be here? Yes, sir.

1311
02:20:59,232 --> 02:20:59,232
thank you for your service. Appreciate that. Why are you here? Being paid to be at a

1312
02:21:03,732 --> 02:21:03,732
board meeting. I have a couple questions for that. One of them is I don't normally go to board

1313
02:21:09,732 --> 02:21:13,699
meetings for free, but I don't think that's what you're getting at. I was invited by administration to come address this. Perfect. Because you are an attorney, one of the

1314
02:21:16,832 --> 02:21:16,832
attorney that works for your school district. Correct. And your opinion is that this

1315
02:21:21,732 --> 02:21:21,732
language is the language that we should be using in this policy to be in line with

1316
02:21:27,466 --> 02:21:27,466
required policy between state and federal, across the board. That's right. The policy is a

1317
02:21:35,366 --> 02:21:35,366
byproduct of a task force by my firm put together in response to the changes in state law.

1318
02:21:40,132 --> 02:21:40,132
this has been vetted through statewide experts who collaborated on your specific

1319
02:21:46,232 --> 02:21:46,232
changes actually to these policies. Yeah. Great. Okay. So not just you, but an army of

1320
02:21:51,232 --> 02:21:51,232
attorneys have come together. We're talking literally fives of attorneys. Yes. Okay.

1321
02:21:56,699 --> 02:21:56,699
perfect. So the avengers of attorneys have come together. Yes. Got it. Perfect. I just I

1322
02:22:01,632 --> 02:22:01,632
feel like based on the language, based on the requirements, based on the timing, I think I

1323
02:22:07,432 --> 02:22:07,432
would defer to our attorney's work that we're paying for. And the opinion of a brain trust of

1324
02:22:15,766 --> 02:22:15,766
attorneys to do this in a way that is the best for our district. So I, I think we

1325
02:22:21,566 --> 02:22:21,566
should just vote on it and get it done. And just to clarify, not every district's policy is

1326
02:22:26,866 --> 02:22:26,866
going to look exactly the same. Everybody's going to tweak it to what they need and to what

1327
02:22:31,899 --> 02:22:31,899
is appropriate. And within the law. I would say it's very typical for board policies to

1328
02:22:38,332 --> 02:22:38,332
look similar but not congruent, and for administrative regulations to be all over the

1329
02:22:43,066 --> 02:22:43,066
map. Okay. So we could change it. It's possible if needed. This is going to sound a little

1330
02:22:49,932 --> 02:22:49,932
contradictory, but yes, the csba california school boards association and the gamut brain

1331
02:22:58,566 --> 02:22:58,566
trust put together this model policy that said, it meets all of the guidelines of the state.

1332
02:23:05,032 --> 02:23:05,032
on the other side of that, to your point, school districts will always look to fine tune

1333
02:23:10,766 --> 02:23:10,766
based on what they feel like their needs are, and utilize the support of our legal

1334
02:23:16,566 --> 02:23:16,566
counsel to make sure that any change we do propose still keeps us within the confines of

1335
02:23:21,199 --> 02:23:21,199
the law. So both of those two things can be true. I just heard a lot of confusion that

1336
02:23:27,366 --> 02:23:27,366
people were confused, especially with this paragraph. So that's why I think it just

1337
02:23:32,066 --> 02:23:35,199
needs another look at it. I think that's because of communication though, marilyn. I don't think that's because of the policy itself. I think I think it's because of the way

1338
02:23:39,232 --> 02:23:39,232
it was communicated to the community. Well, I think the community read it themselves. I

1339
02:23:44,666 --> 02:23:44,666
think several people did not read it, pretty much able to understand in the context of

1340
02:23:48,999 --> 02:23:48,999
the whole board policy how confusing it is and what it can be interpreted as written by

1341
02:23:55,799 --> 02:23:55,799
attorneys, so that we are within the letter of the law. And I know the board agenda

1342
02:24:01,566 --> 02:24:01,566
comes out on a friday afternoon. The board agenda came out friday afternoon. Correct.

1343
02:24:06,599 --> 02:24:06,599
early mid. Okay. So the board agenda came out friday afternoon. And this was the

1344
02:24:11,932 --> 02:24:11,932
fear mongering. And the walkout for el dorado was friday at 10:30 a.m. So how did anybody

1345
02:24:17,399 --> 02:24:17,399
see this board policy. Nobody could see it. So they were already walking out and social

1346
02:24:23,299 --> 02:24:23,299
media was already erupting that they were walking out based on something else. From what I

1347
02:24:27,632 --> 02:24:27,632
understand, that we just that we just said was absolutely, ridiculously wrong. From what I

1348
02:24:33,966 --> 02:24:33,966
understand, the walkouts were not necessarily in response to this immigration enforcement

1349
02:24:39,366 --> 02:24:39,366
board policy. From what I've seen and what I've heard, I think it's just in general,

1350
02:24:44,399 --> 02:24:44,399
again, just walking, walking out because of things that have happened in our country and

1351
02:24:51,266 --> 02:24:51,266
things that they've seen and personally and have experienced, which I don't think, like I

1352
02:24:57,032 --> 02:24:57,032
said, necessarily may regard this board policy, and some of it may have been for this board

1353
02:25:01,432 --> 02:25:01,432
policy, but I just think it's kind of ironic that you're bringing up scenarios that

1354
02:25:08,532 --> 02:25:08,532
could happen, may happen, but yet downplaying scenarios that have happened and could happen

1355
02:25:14,199 --> 02:25:14,199
in placentia or where have they happened? Where where have they happened? They again, they may

1356
02:25:19,766 --> 02:25:23,332
not have happened in placentia-yorba linda, but this concern is coming from a community that has seen it happen, where though ice has been in our community in

1357
02:25:30,099 --> 02:25:30,099
placentia, but we have not been in schools. So these schools, these students have seen it in

1358
02:25:36,966 --> 02:25:36,966
their neighborhoods, they have seen it in their community. And this is they've actually

1359
02:25:44,866 --> 02:25:44,866
witnessed it, that it might not have happened in their school, but it has happened in their

1360
02:25:52,099 --> 02:25:55,999
neighborhoods. Okay. And this is building guidelines around what we do as a response against law enforcement. No, this has nothing to do with that. What is ice is law

1361
02:26:02,566 --> 02:26:02,566
enforcement. So if ice is in if if isis is in the community, I'm not even going to well know

1362
02:26:09,299 --> 02:26:09,299
if ice is in the community enforcing the law. Are you anybody else have any questions

1363
02:26:14,066 --> 02:26:14,066
related to actual words? Marilyn on you brought it up. You don't want to answer it? No.

1364
02:26:21,232 --> 02:26:21,232
you're downplaying what these students have said, that you're downplaying their fear. You're

1365
02:26:28,399 --> 02:26:28,399
downplaying their parents fear. But it is a real reality to many of the families in our

1366
02:26:35,599 --> 02:26:35,599
community. We have seen. Students not coming to school. We have seen parent

1367
02:26:44,666 --> 02:26:44,666
participation drop in certain of our communities. These things are real, and you can't

1368
02:26:50,666 --> 02:26:50,666
just pretend that it doesn't happen because ice hasn't been on a campus. But I don't

1369
02:26:58,299 --> 02:26:58,299
understand. It's so because ice has been in the community working, working in working,

1370
02:27:09,499 --> 02:27:09,499
doing what they're supposed to do. Immigration enforcement suddenly enforcing the law is

1371
02:27:14,899 --> 02:27:14,899
not okay, even though they haven't been doing it in our schools. So you're just you're

1372
02:27:19,166 --> 02:27:19,166
you're against ice enforcing the law in the communities. I think our, our the important

1373
02:27:23,532 --> 02:27:23,532
part is that that's what you're saying. No, I'm not saying why are you talking about ice being

1374
02:27:28,599 --> 02:27:28,599
in the community if there's a problem because you don't want them enforcing the law. I think

1375
02:27:33,566 --> 02:27:33,566
this board policy just needs to really reflect the concerns of the community, and making sure

1376
02:27:38,466 --> 02:27:42,099
that our students are represented in our parents are comfortable with the board policy. With respect, this board policy is in line with what is required. It was

1377
02:27:51,932 --> 02:27:51,932
created by our attorneys, and the whole point of it is to keep our district safe. That's

1378
02:27:58,232 --> 02:27:58,232
the whole point. You keep going off on these tangents of downplaying fears. And yes,

1379
02:28:03,466 --> 02:28:03,466
there are things that happen and people are. People are fearful of lots of things all

1380
02:28:08,032 --> 02:28:08,032
over the place. I think, unfortunately, people are being manipulated to raise that level

1381
02:28:12,099 --> 02:28:12,099
more than it needs to be. However, I do understand that things happen. That's true.

1382
02:28:16,466 --> 02:28:16,466
this policy is required and it has been created by our attorneys with language that

1383
02:28:23,366 --> 02:28:23,366
fits exactly what it needs to be, so that we have dotted all the I's and crossed all the t's,

1384
02:28:29,766 --> 02:28:29,766
and we are covered when it comes to the requirements put on us by the state. As a local

1385
02:28:35,532 --> 02:28:35,532
government body. So this is our first read of this policy. We always have a second read. So I

1386
02:28:41,966 --> 02:28:41,966
would like you to work this paragraph a little bit and see if we can get some more clarity.

1387
02:28:50,032 --> 02:28:50,032
I understand that we have the timing is what march we have till march 1st, but I still

1388
02:28:54,132 --> 02:28:54,132
would like them to consider all of the discussion that we've had today. I, I, we can't delay

1389
02:28:59,999 --> 02:28:59,999
because of march 1st, but I think we need to have some additional feedback at the next

1390
02:29:05,766 --> 02:29:05,766
meeting, because that's the only time when we can talk and get together and. And we have

1391
02:29:12,966 --> 02:29:12,966
maybe the ars as well. I didn't say that we were going to not vote. I said we need to bring

1392
02:29:18,366 --> 02:29:18,366
it back because we all we have second readings and there's some really important

1393
02:29:23,799 --> 02:29:27,799
conversations that we've had and some adjustments that I think could be made to make it a bit more clear. I think he's going to need some. I mean, tony, do you need some more

1394
02:29:33,832 --> 02:29:33,832
clarity on how to make this more clear? It's pretty freaking clear. No, I think I

1395
02:29:39,166 --> 02:29:39,166
have the gist of it. Trustee blades I also have been side buying with doctor pedroza. I

1396
02:29:43,899 --> 02:29:43,899
think we can handle it. Okay. Thank you, thank you. So with that, we'll take a vote. All

1397
02:29:53,199 --> 02:29:53,199
those in favor, I, I, I, I, I and opposed none. So that motion carries five zero. I'd

1398
02:30:03,799 --> 02:30:03,799
like to make a motion to adopt an amended alternative resolution 20 2525 in support

1399
02:30:09,999 --> 02:30:09,999
of law enforcement. You can't do that. It's not on the agenda. Yes, it can be done as an

1400
02:30:15,232 --> 02:30:15,232
alternative. It's not agenda. Can I have a second, please? Do we have a second? I'll second.

1401
02:30:23,899 --> 02:30:23,899
okay. We have a first and a second. Mrs. Quintero, since you're proposing an an

1402
02:30:31,832 --> 02:30:31,832
alternative, will you share that with us, please? I would like to keeping the first

1403
02:30:37,199 --> 02:30:37,199
whereas. And in the second, whereas strike state and federal law enforcement in the

1404
02:30:41,532 --> 02:30:41,532
first sentence and strike the second. I'm sorry. Strike. Yeah. The second sentence keeping the

1405
02:30:47,699 --> 02:30:47,699
third and fourth whereas strike the fifth whereas key keep the now therefore be it resolved

1406
02:30:55,732 --> 02:30:55,732
that placentia-yorba linda board of education affirms its support for local law

1407
02:31:00,199 --> 02:31:00,199
enforcement officers, strike the rest of the paragraph. Keep the next two paragraphs strike

1408
02:31:06,166 --> 02:31:06,166
the third. Be it further resolved. Then change the last paragraph to be it further

1409
02:31:11,799 --> 02:31:15,732
resolved that the board encourages respectful dialog and transparency with students, parents, employees, community, and local law enforcement agencies. So this is not an

1410
02:31:21,799 --> 02:31:21,799
alternative. Okay, so hold on a second. This is not an alternative resolution. This is

1411
02:31:25,866 --> 02:31:29,732
the same resolution I brought forward with you wanting to strike it. So this isn't an alternative resolution. This is the same resolution I brought forward. Oh and it's an it's an

1412
02:31:35,532 --> 02:31:35,532
alternative. It's an acceptable. You've needed 5 or 6, seven, eight days to read it before

1413
02:31:40,232 --> 02:31:40,232
you view any of this. Is it somehow different today? I don't know, I've never seen it.

1414
02:31:44,766 --> 02:31:44,766
yeah. So this is not been on the agenda. This is my same resolution with some strikes.

1415
02:31:49,032 --> 02:31:49,032
so what we should do is we've already got a motion and a second. So we're going forward

1416
02:31:54,132 --> 02:31:54,132
with this one. It's an absolute ridiculous thing because she said she did a new resolution.

1417
02:31:59,132 --> 02:31:59,132
this is my resolution and it's a new resolution I said amended alternative alternative an

1418
02:32:05,732 --> 02:32:05,732
alternative resolution. Okay. So let's read. This is absolutely take a moment to

1419
02:32:11,232 --> 02:32:11,232
read through it. Do we have the resolution up the original, the original original or the second

1420
02:32:26,632 --> 02:32:26,632
original? Okay. Would we. Yeah. But before we get started, is there anything jeremy, can we

1421
02:32:32,799 --> 02:32:32,799
have the original resolution? Because it is this. Except what tricia quintero did was just

1422
02:32:39,232 --> 02:32:39,232
cross out a bunch of lines. So if the public would like to follow along, this is my

1423
02:32:45,766 --> 02:32:45,766
resolution. All she's done is strike a bunch of lines. So can we put mrs. Quintero? Since

1424
02:32:50,066 --> 02:32:50,066
mrs. Blades read hers in entirety? Would you like to read what you're proposing?

1425
02:32:55,132 --> 02:32:55,132
read mine in entirety. I'll go next. You read the other one? Yeah. I read our board policy.

1426
02:32:59,399 --> 02:32:59,399
right. You read the board policy. She's going. She's going to read the the one that

1427
02:33:04,432 --> 02:33:04,432
we're considering. Whereas the mission of placentia-yorba linda school district is to

1428
02:33:10,199 --> 02:33:10,199
provide a safe, secure and supportive learning environment for all students and staff. And

1429
02:33:15,599 --> 02:33:19,532
whereas local law enforcement agencies work in partnership with schools to protect campuses, respond to emergencies, and to promote community safety. And whereas

1430
02:33:24,266 --> 02:33:24,266
respect for the rule of law is a is a foundational principle of our nation and an important

1431
02:33:28,599 --> 02:33:28,599
value to model for students, and whereas, educators and administration rely on the

1432
02:33:34,366 --> 02:33:34,366
cooperation with public safety agencies to ensure preparedness, emergency response and crisis

1433
02:33:40,099 --> 02:33:43,566
management. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the placentia-yorba linda board of education affirms its support for local law enforcement officers, be it further

1434
02:33:48,532 --> 02:33:48,532
resolved that the board of the board recognizes the essential role of these agencies, that

1435
02:33:53,032 --> 02:33:53,032
these agencies play in maintaining public safety and protecting schools, families,

1436
02:33:58,699 --> 02:33:58,699
and neighborhoods. Be it further resolved that the board commits to maintaining open,

1437
02:34:02,999 --> 02:34:02,999
cooperative relationships with all public safety partners to ensure campus security and

1438
02:34:07,366 --> 02:34:07,366
emergency readiness, be it further resolved that the board encourages respectful dialog

1439
02:34:11,666 --> 02:34:11,666
and transparency with students, parents, employees, community and local law enforcement

1440
02:34:17,032 --> 02:34:17,032
agencies. Okay, and then mine was. Whereas the mission of the placentia-yorba linda unified

1441
02:34:23,332 --> 02:34:26,799
school district is to provide a safe, secure and supportive learning environment for all students and staff, whereas local law enforcement agencies. Tricia tried to strike state

1442
02:34:31,932 --> 02:34:31,932
and federal law enforcement, so she only wants to basically comply with local law

1443
02:34:37,232 --> 02:34:37,232
enforcement agencies, work in partnership with schools to protect campuses, respond to

1444
02:34:42,266 --> 02:34:46,266
emergencies and promote community safety, are charged with enforcing federal, state, and local law and protecting national security and in accordance with their sworn

1445
02:34:50,566 --> 02:34:50,566
duties. Whereas respect for the rule of law as a foundational principle of our nation and an

1446
02:34:54,699 --> 02:34:58,466
important value to model for students. And whereas educators and administrators, administrators rely on cooperation with public safety agencies to ensure preparedness,

1447
02:35:02,032 --> 02:35:02,032
emergency response, and crisis management. And whereas, harassment, misinformation, or

1448
02:35:06,766 --> 02:35:06,766
fear based narratives directed at law enforcement personnel undermine public trust and

1449
02:35:12,532 --> 02:35:12,532
compromise community stability, that is what tricia has tried to strike. Now, therefore, be

1450
02:35:16,666 --> 02:35:20,066
it resolved that the placentia-yorba linda board of education affirms its support for local law enforcement officers and federal immigration officers who carry

1451
02:35:24,032 --> 02:35:24,032
out their duties professionally and lawfully. Per pylusd board policy 1445. District staff

1452
02:35:30,632 --> 02:35:30,632
shall not obstruct, interfere with, or otherwise impede an officer or employee of an

1453
02:35:34,832 --> 02:35:34,832
agency conducting immigration enforcement who nonetheless enters district provided

1454
02:35:39,532 --> 02:35:42,832
transportation, nonpublic area of any district, property, facility or a nonpublic area where any district sponsored program or activities is occurring. Be it further

1455
02:35:46,732 --> 02:35:50,332
resolved that the board recognizes the essential role these agencies plays in maintaining public safety and protecting schools, families and neighborhoods. Be it

1456
02:35:53,232 --> 02:35:56,532
further resolved that the board commits to maintaining open, cooperative relationships with all public safety partners to ensure campus security and emergency readiness, be it

1457
02:36:01,499 --> 02:36:01,499
further resolved that the board affirms classrooms are places for education, not political

1458
02:36:06,899 --> 02:36:06,899
activism, and that district communications and materials provided to students shall

1459
02:36:11,199 --> 02:36:11,199
prioritize academic instruction, safety, and age appropriate content. That is what tricia

1460
02:36:16,732 --> 02:36:16,732
has struck before. Be it further resolved that the board encourages respectful dialog,

1461
02:36:22,699 --> 02:36:22,699
transparency with parents and community unity. And then she struck while rejecting fear

1462
02:36:27,032 --> 02:36:27,032
mongering and politicization of public safety issues. So what has happened here is she's

1463
02:36:33,866 --> 02:36:33,866
taken my resolution and basically allowing teachers now to pass out the anti-ice cards

1464
02:36:41,066 --> 02:36:41,066
and to pass out how to evade law enforcement to be to clarify that. And you're

1465
02:36:45,899 --> 02:36:45,899
talking about misinformation is that those are not anti-ice cards. They are constitutional

1466
02:36:50,799 --> 02:36:50,799
rights that every, every person in this country has that are being passed along. So they're

1467
02:36:57,266 --> 02:36:57,266
not anti law enforcement. And also so talk about misinformation and also so this

1468
02:37:03,166 --> 02:37:03,166
this email that I got an issue in my daughter's us history class today. The students had

1469
02:37:08,466 --> 02:37:08,466
the teacher had students listen to a far left podcast discussing the ice incident in

1470
02:37:13,499 --> 02:37:13,499
minnesota and basically told everyone he didn't want to hear it or disagree anybody to

1471
02:37:18,899 --> 02:37:18,899
disagree with the stance of the podcaster. And if they did, they were wrong and he didn't

1472
02:37:23,199 --> 02:37:27,099
want to hear it. And right after he went on a rant criticizing trump over the events of venezuela, nothing of the topic had anything to do with the curriculum or lesson

1473
02:37:31,799 --> 02:37:31,799
plans. And so this is what's going on in our classrooms. And this is the type of thing that

1474
02:37:37,899 --> 02:37:37,899
they want to allow to go in the classroom. So teachers go far off of the curriculum. What is

1475
02:37:43,366 --> 02:37:43,366
our reading levels at 50%? 60%. Our kids can't do math or read, but let's have a teachers get

1476
02:37:49,932 --> 02:37:49,932
up in front of the classroom and tell you how to evade law enforcement and talk about

1477
02:37:54,899 --> 02:37:54,899
stuff that's not part of our district curriculum and politicize law enforcement.

1478
02:37:59,932 --> 02:37:59,932
speak down to law enforcement. He called ice and law enforcement murderers. So to

1479
02:38:06,066 --> 02:38:06,066
clarify, I agree our our reading and math scores do need improvement. But also up here

1480
02:38:11,799 --> 02:38:11,799
as a board, that's what we need to be emphasizing, not our political. Why is it okay that

1481
02:38:17,232 --> 02:38:17,232
we can bring politics into the boardroom, but teachers not bringing teachers? The teachers

1482
02:38:22,599 --> 02:38:22,599
aren't allowed to as well. So this is a different this isn't this is very different. In a

1483
02:38:29,099 --> 02:38:29,099
classroom. Teachers are paid. They are paid employees. We are you know, we're not employees.

1484
02:38:34,332 --> 02:38:34,332
we are not employees. You're an elected official. Do you receive a paycheck? You receive

1485
02:38:39,332 --> 02:38:39,332
a stipend. City councils receive a stipend. A coach is not an employee. A walk on

1486
02:38:44,132 --> 02:38:44,132
coach is not an employee because they receive a stipend. Did I did a coach have to go

1487
02:38:48,232 --> 02:38:52,166
through an election? You're an elected official, but that doesn't matter. You're still an employing a representative of the school district. Oh, jeez. So you know what? Okay. Please.

1488
02:38:57,599 --> 02:38:57,599
in the. Yeah. Please stop. Yeah. So it's very different when employees such as teachers are

1489
02:39:06,199 --> 02:39:06,199
given district curriculum and you're told to teach math and you aren't teaching math when

1490
02:39:11,899 --> 02:39:11,899
you're sharing podcasts and when you're talking about law enforcement, there is nothing

1491
02:39:16,499 --> 02:39:16,499
wrong with saying we're not going to let teachers have political agendas in the

1492
02:39:20,932 --> 02:39:20,932
classroom, which is exactly what you're striking. There's no reason if we if a if a law

1493
02:39:26,599 --> 02:39:26,599
enforcement officer comes, picks up a kid, say, or has somebody in their car for some

1494
02:39:31,332 --> 02:39:31,332
reason, or the sro, the sro goes around campus and says, you know what? All the teachers

1495
02:39:36,399 --> 02:39:36,399
here suck, your teachers suck. You guys aren't learning anything. What do you think his

1496
02:39:42,466 --> 02:39:42,466
employer is going to do? What this is related to? It's a resolution in support of law

1497
02:39:47,932 --> 02:39:47,932
enforcement, or to make sure that teachers don't politicize their classrooms. It's both.

1498
02:39:52,566 --> 02:39:52,566
it's both. Please, ma'am, you need to leave. Thank you very much, ma'am. You need please

1499
02:40:00,866 --> 02:40:00,866
leave. Thank you. Thank you very much. Please keep going. Thank you. All we're asking is

1500
02:40:10,599 --> 02:40:10,599
that is. All we're asking is like, for everything. Because actually, when you strike all

1501
02:40:14,999 --> 02:40:14,999
this, you're actually striking the confidential. The confidential or not the

1502
02:40:19,599 --> 02:40:23,499
confidential, the controversial issues policy that we have in place. That's not true. That's totally separate. No it's not. It's a controversial issue to call ice and law enforcement

1503
02:40:27,499 --> 02:40:31,366
murders. And it's a controversial that has nothing to do with this policy that we're on now. So please stop everybody. So issue to do a podcast and to say that there's

1504
02:40:37,966 --> 02:40:37,966
only one opinion and that of the teachers. If you're going to introduce my suggestion both

1505
02:40:42,632 --> 02:40:42,632
sides, my suggestion would be when you get these emails that you refer them to the principal,

1506
02:40:47,366 --> 02:40:47,366
to the superintendent, so she can hand it. Manager. Thank you very much. Okay. So we have

1507
02:40:53,066 --> 02:40:53,066
this resolution here from tricia and it it's it is it's my resolution. It has some that

1508
02:41:00,266 --> 02:41:00,266
is stricken out of it. But that's not the one we're voting on. The one we're voting on is

1509
02:41:06,066 --> 02:41:06,066
are all the it's without all of that. Toni, is there any like thing on here? They took a

1510
02:41:13,266 --> 02:41:16,832
resolution and then they presented something that she struck. And that's not on the board agenda. Can we get some legal opinion here just so we know in the future, if there's

1511
02:41:22,432 --> 02:41:22,432
resolutions, we can start striking and and crossing things out and then calling it

1512
02:41:27,832 --> 02:41:27,832
a different resolution. Is it acceptable to propose an alternate resolution? So within

1513
02:41:33,732 --> 02:41:33,732
robert's rules, there is the opportunity to amend anything. And if I haven't seen what's

1514
02:41:40,399 --> 02:41:40,399
the amendment is but it it would typically be that the original resolution is offered

1515
02:41:46,832 --> 02:41:46,832
and then through motions is amended. What I would call what trustee quintero proposed, I'd

1516
02:41:55,799 --> 02:41:55,799
be called it a substitute motion. Okay. But it came to the floor first. So I think the

1517
02:42:02,532 --> 02:42:02,532
priority would be to vote on it. I don't know if that answers your question. Thank you. I

1518
02:42:08,766 --> 02:42:08,766
think the question is, though, it's not a substitute motion because it is an amendment to

1519
02:42:12,832 --> 02:42:12,832
the original. It's my it's my resolution. It's just crossed out lines on it. It was

1520
02:42:17,299 --> 02:42:17,299
proposed first. So that was it's the same one we take first. Okay. Can I can I ask a couple

1521
02:42:22,299 --> 02:42:22,299
questions? Tricia. Sure. Why do you want to cross out state and federal law enforcement?

1522
02:42:28,099 --> 02:42:28,099
because we usually work with local law enforcement. Like you said, in case of us kidnaping,

1523
02:42:34,232 --> 02:42:34,232
it's federal in case of a. But those are rare. But you just voted to pass a board policy,

1524
02:42:40,332 --> 02:42:40,332
correct. That followed the law. Exactly. Which includes state and federal law enforcement is

1525
02:42:45,299 --> 02:42:45,299
not a board policy. This is a resolution. No, I understand that. But why now? Are you

1526
02:42:50,099 --> 02:42:50,099
opposed to state and federal law enforcement simply being in the sentence? I'm not opposed

1527
02:42:55,232 --> 02:42:55,232
to federal law enforcement. I didn't say that. I said, why are you opposed to being in the

1528
02:42:59,466 --> 02:42:59,466
sentence and what we deal with on a daily basis? This is the local law enforcement is what

1529
02:43:05,299 --> 02:43:05,299
we deal with on a daily basis. So if this is a law enforcement and support a law enforcement

1530
02:43:10,599 --> 02:43:10,599
resolution, that is what we're doing. We're supporting our local law enforcement. So then

1531
02:43:15,966 --> 02:43:15,966
why did you want to cross out state and federal law enforcement? You didn't answer

1532
02:43:20,432 --> 02:43:20,432
the question because like I just said, local law enforcement is what we deal

1533
02:43:24,999 --> 02:43:24,999
with on a daily basis. But we just passed the policy, but we just passed a policy dealing

1534
02:43:29,666 --> 02:43:29,666
with state and federal as well, because that's what was required by the law. This is

1535
02:43:34,366 --> 02:43:34,366
not this. Again, this is not a board policy. This is a resolution I understand I would

1536
02:43:39,032 --> 02:43:39,032
request that we put state and federal law enforcement back in because it's taking it out just

1537
02:43:46,599 --> 02:43:46,599
means that you're saying I want to ignore state and federal for whatever reason you want to.

1538
02:43:50,632 --> 02:43:50,632
well, you're taking it out. So what do you call it? It's not local. Okay? Not acknowledging,

1539
02:43:55,966 --> 02:43:55,966
ignoring, ignoring. We can we can play word salad all we want. But I think that it for this I

1540
02:44:02,832 --> 02:44:02,832
understand that you're wanting to take out the the fear mongering and some of that

1541
02:44:07,166 --> 02:44:11,099
language. I don't think that it belongs in classrooms. And I think that's a problem. I understand why maybe you wouldn't want to do this. And then she said, agreed. I agree

1542
02:44:16,132 --> 02:44:16,132
that green and does not belong in a classroom. So why don't we put it back in? Why did you

1543
02:44:21,066 --> 02:44:21,066
take it out? Because this is not a this is not a resolution. I have another question policy.

1544
02:44:25,999 --> 02:44:25,999
I have another question. I have another question. Were you also crossed out the part that

1545
02:44:30,499 --> 02:44:30,499
literally quotes the board policy we just passed? Correct. Because it's not being used in

1546
02:44:35,899 --> 02:44:35,899
the proper context. Why is it not being used in the proper context? Because that was in

1547
02:44:40,599 --> 02:44:40,599
regards to the rest of the context above it. Using it alone is not in the proper

1548
02:44:46,332 --> 02:44:46,332
context, I agree, but all in all, the that this portion says is that we will not obstruct or

1549
02:44:53,232 --> 02:44:53,232
otherwise impede an officer or employee. I think that's a good statement to make. We just

1550
02:44:57,466 --> 02:44:57,466
passed it. Why wouldn't you want. So we just passed it. It's on that board policy. So

1551
02:45:01,632 --> 02:45:01,632
why do we need to repeat it in here. Because we're reiterating we we are reiterating it with a

1552
02:45:06,432 --> 02:45:06,432
resolution to support or support law enforcement does not. Why do you have to

1553
02:45:10,499 --> 02:45:10,499
reiterate something you just passed? Then why do we have any resolutions if this whole thing.

1554
02:45:17,299 --> 02:45:17,299
if this resolution is in support of law enforcement, then let's support law

1555
02:45:23,432 --> 02:45:23,432
enforcement. I agree, let's put state and federal law. We're not going to impede law

1556
02:45:28,332 --> 02:45:28,332
enforcement officers doing a job. But it's stated already in the policy. So it doesn't. This

1557
02:45:35,432 --> 02:45:35,432
is not the whole story. This is a support of law enforcement. We're supportive of our local

1558
02:45:40,766 --> 02:45:40,766
law enforcement. Thank you all for being here tonight. And federal this policy, not the

1559
02:45:46,132 --> 02:45:46,132
way it is written, is all about local and I support it. No. Oh my gosh, you mean the way it

1560
02:45:52,432 --> 02:45:52,432
was amended? I, I support the way that it was proposed tonight with the strikeouts. So

1561
02:45:57,299 --> 02:45:57,299
so let me get this straight. The state tells us to put in a board policy that has to do

1562
02:46:03,299 --> 02:46:03,299
with state and federal law enforcement. They're not even talking about local law

1563
02:46:07,732 --> 02:46:07,732
enforcement. So we put in a board policy because the state says this is important enough

1564
02:46:12,532 --> 02:46:12,532
for you guys to enact this policy. You have to do it. It's it's a force. It's not a it's

1565
02:46:17,532 --> 02:46:17,532
not a you know, you can't it is a you shall enact this policy. And so to make sure because we

1566
02:46:24,632 --> 02:46:24,632
have teachers on x, we have teachers on social media saying I will impede and I will

1567
02:46:30,732 --> 02:46:30,732
obstruct law enforcement. They are saying this. So I said let's go and let's make a

1568
02:46:36,099 --> 02:46:36,099
resolution to support basically exactly what the policy says. I mean, the board policy is

1569
02:46:43,366 --> 02:46:43,366
actually just talk. It doesn't even really say local. It says state and federal. So we put in

1570
02:46:47,499 --> 02:46:47,499
here we're going to support local, state and federal law enforcement. And you guys want

1571
02:46:52,366 --> 02:46:56,299
to take out the state and federal law enforcement. But it's the state who's making sure that we are cooperating. And so what what census. So you're so so now you're going

1572
02:47:03,966 --> 02:47:03,966
to put more stuff? Well, we're not we're getting more state and federal, but we might

1573
02:47:08,532 --> 02:47:08,532
cooperate with local. Again, the resolution as I have amended is not should have

1574
02:47:15,799 --> 02:47:15,799
nothing to do with the board policy. The board policy is the board policy. You brought this

1575
02:47:20,199 --> 02:47:20,199
up saying it was a resolution in support of law enforcement. Oh my gosh. So technically, as

1576
02:47:25,899 --> 02:47:25,899
you wrote it the first time, it was not even necessary because everything like you said was

1577
02:47:30,499 --> 02:47:30,499
stated in the in the board policy itself. It was just extra. It was extra to address

1578
02:47:36,266 --> 02:47:36,266
what's happening in the classrooms and to provide leadership for it, to provide

1579
02:47:41,666 --> 02:47:41,666
leadership from the district that tells your employees that we are not going to bad mouth.

1580
02:47:46,366 --> 02:47:46,366
that needs to be resolution, not a support of law enforcement. Supporting law

1581
02:47:51,032 --> 02:47:54,666
enforcement means that you're not going to obstruct and impede, and we're not going to allow our staff to trash talk the people who are on our campuses daily, or to trash

1582
02:48:00,399 --> 02:48:00,399
talk and to say all the things and to make it a politicization. We're going to stay quiet.

1583
02:48:05,066 --> 02:48:08,766
you're in classrooms listening to this. You know what? I know this because there's enough. There's enough students and there's enough enough people who are complaining about it.

1584
02:48:13,266 --> 02:48:13,266
and you know what? When you have forwarded those concerns to doctor have, sure have. And

1585
02:48:18,099 --> 02:48:18,099
then when you also go to ecs and you say, I'm and people say I'm a pylusd employee and I

1586
02:48:23,066 --> 02:48:23,066
will obstruct law enforcement, well, then then, you know, then maybe we we have no control

1587
02:48:28,366 --> 02:48:28,366
over what's happening on social media. Obviously, you do have control over what's happening

1588
02:48:32,466 --> 02:48:32,466
in the classroom. Yes. And we do have control over what we're going to do with this

1589
02:48:37,099 --> 02:48:37,099
resolution. So, marilyn, would you like to make any comments on it before I call for the

1590
02:48:42,132 --> 02:48:42,132
vote? No, I think it's appropriate that we are amending this. So we're staying

1591
02:48:50,066 --> 02:48:50,066
focused on law enforcement. This bounces back to teachers and polarization keeping it out

1592
02:48:58,966 --> 02:48:58,966
of the classroom. I mean, it's it's all over the place. If this is does not. There's a lot

1593
02:49:07,066 --> 02:49:07,066
of wording in here that is not appropriate for supporting law enforcement. And I do support

1594
02:49:12,866 --> 02:49:12,866
law enforcement. You're married to one. I'm so glad that you please stop that I, I don't

1595
02:49:24,966 --> 02:49:24,966
support law enforcement. I've been married to a police officer who did 30 years with

1596
02:49:31,566 --> 02:49:31,566
the city of anaheim. I have worked at a police department where I spent a lot of my time

1597
02:49:41,566 --> 02:49:41,566
going into the poor areas of our community and dealing with the fear mongering and the

1598
02:49:49,432 --> 02:49:49,432
afraid, the fear that our immigrant population has with law enforcement working, that

1599
02:49:55,899 --> 02:49:55,899
I've seen it firsthand. I have had to support people that were being victimized because of

1600
02:50:04,599 --> 02:50:04,599
their immigration status, and letting them know that it's okay to talk to the police and

1601
02:50:10,699 --> 02:50:10,699
helping them get over that fear, and letting the police officers into their home to report

1602
02:50:18,632 --> 02:50:18,632
things. And I think the the most grievous thing I saw was a man dying of cancer, and his

1603
02:50:25,099 --> 02:50:25,099
family was threatening to turn him in unless they he paid them. This happens all the time. I

1604
02:50:34,132 --> 02:50:34,132
I've also worked with project 999. It's a memorial ride that raises money for officers who

1605
02:50:42,032 --> 02:50:42,032
have been wounded and killed in the line of duty. I have supported that ride more years

1606
02:50:48,166 --> 02:50:48,166
than I can count. I have gone to police memorials. I have been there helping the writers

1607
02:50:59,632 --> 02:50:59,632
get to their places. So yeah, I do support law enforcement. I'm active in the community and

1608
02:51:09,399 --> 02:51:09,399
I've always supported them. So it sounds like putting in putting in this resolution when

1609
02:51:15,166 --> 02:51:19,132
you're supporting law enforcement, that the board of firms classrooms are places for education, not political activism, and not talking trash about police officers would be

1610
02:51:23,232 --> 02:51:23,232
an appropriate place to have an a resolution. This doesn't this doesn't mention police officers

1611
02:51:29,899 --> 02:51:29,899
at all. It just says that places are at classrooms are places for education, which I

1612
02:51:35,299 --> 02:51:35,299
agree, and not political activism, and that the district communication materials

1613
02:51:39,466 --> 02:51:39,466
provided to students shall prioritize academic instruction, safety and age appropriate

1614
02:51:44,299 --> 02:51:44,299
content. This has nothing. That paragraph has nothing to do with law enforcement. If I was

1615
02:51:49,632 --> 02:51:49,632
going to put something there that have some fear mongering or politicization of public

1616
02:51:55,532 --> 02:51:55,532
safety issues, if I was going to do something crossed out. Excuse me, it's my turn to talk.

1617
02:52:01,232 --> 02:52:01,232
okay? If I was going to do something that supports law enforcement, I would probably

1618
02:52:08,732 --> 02:52:08,732
say something like local law enforcement officers assist in maintaining safety and order

1619
02:52:15,632 --> 02:52:18,866
during board meetings and district events, respond to criminal and suspicious activity on campus, and provide rapid response during critical incidents. I would be positive.

1620
02:52:24,632 --> 02:52:28,566
I would also say local law enforcement officers collaborate with district leadership and prevention, safety planning, training and emergency preparedness efforts

1621
02:52:33,266 --> 02:52:33,266
to promote coordinated communication and proactive campus safety measures. I would

1622
02:52:39,366 --> 02:52:39,366
say I would praise our school resource officers who are present on our district

1623
02:52:44,466 --> 02:52:44,466
campuses daily, fostering positive relationships with students, supporting staff, and

1624
02:52:49,466 --> 02:52:49,466
contributing to safe, welcoming learning environments. These are the things that I would say,

1625
02:52:55,566 --> 02:52:55,566
and I would love to put these in the resolution. To thank them. I mean, just at our last

1626
02:53:03,899 --> 02:53:03,899
meeting, we had a power outage and our two sros had saved us, saved us. They had light on and

1627
02:53:10,732 --> 02:53:10,732
we didn't even know what was going on. They are here to protect us. I have seen their

1628
02:53:17,199 --> 02:53:17,199
interactions personally, and I have mentioned a few of them publicly in my board comments.

1629
02:53:22,599 --> 02:53:22,599
I have written letters to the chief of police praising the officers and doing things. So

1630
02:53:31,932 --> 02:53:31,932
yeah, if I was going to support law enforcement, these are the things that I would say. I

1631
02:53:37,332 --> 02:53:37,332
would not be talking about fear mongering and other things that don't have anything to do with

1632
02:53:42,666 --> 02:53:42,666
our law enforcement. Marilyn, I, I like your comments in there. Is that something we should

1633
02:53:48,099 --> 02:53:48,099
consider? Are you suggesting we add you're welcome to I well, I think too, when we're talking

1634
02:53:54,299 --> 02:53:54,299
about that, that could be like a law enforcement appreciation resolution. That would have

1635
02:53:58,899 --> 02:53:58,899
been great to bring in may. Yeah. In may. But however this one is written because it

1636
02:54:03,966 --> 02:54:03,966
actually goes along with the board policy that we just passed. So all of the things

1637
02:54:08,399 --> 02:54:08,399
that you just said were were wonderful. However, my resolution was geared towards

1638
02:54:14,066 --> 02:54:14,066
putting it in conjunction with the board policy. So that's why we talked about state, local

1639
02:54:19,099 --> 02:54:19,099
and federal law enforcement. That's the difference. Marilyn and I would like to also state

1640
02:54:23,499 --> 02:54:23,499
that the difference between a resolution and a board policy is a board policy is a rule,

1641
02:54:30,132 --> 02:54:30,132
and a board resolution is a statement. They are different, which is why they're

1642
02:54:34,532 --> 02:54:38,532
reiterating the same thing. That's they have different functions. So to ask the question why is it reiterating it. Because that's what a resolution does as opposed to a

1643
02:54:43,599 --> 02:54:43,599
board policy, which is a rule. So that's literally the reason that it's different. That's why

1644
02:54:48,666 --> 02:54:48,666
you would say the same thing in a resolution, because it's a statement of governance as

1645
02:54:53,332 --> 02:54:53,332
opposed to a board policy, which is a rule even though they're go ahead. Sorry, I'm

1646
02:54:58,732 --> 02:54:58,732
saying my request would be that we keep in state and federal law enforcement. Don't strike

1647
02:55:04,832 --> 02:55:04,832
that. We keep in the statement that is from the policy. And then if you want to take out

1648
02:55:12,266 --> 02:55:12,266
the fear mongering and things, then we we handle that at an administrative level and hold

1649
02:55:16,699 --> 02:55:16,699
teachers accountable for doing things in classrooms they should not be doing. I think we

1650
02:55:21,366 --> 02:55:21,366
should do that regardless of which side. So do we have majority saying we want to add

1651
02:55:27,132 --> 02:55:27,132
state and federal law enforcement? Yes, I do not. Yes. It falls in line with our board

1652
02:55:33,432 --> 02:55:33,432
policy. It's a statement of it's a statement of governance. Our board policy I think for

1653
02:55:39,932 --> 02:55:39,932
this one, it's our local law enforcement. I, I want to keep it out of this one as long as

1654
02:55:47,166 --> 02:55:47,166
we can keep out the part, the problematic paragraph that we have spent so much time

1655
02:55:55,099 --> 02:55:55,099
discussing. And I think this resolution is perfectly an example of how that wording is

1656
02:56:03,032 --> 02:56:03,032
being manipulated, and why I'm not suggesting we add that I'm just adding state. Are you

1657
02:56:09,166 --> 02:56:12,499
talking about at the state and federal law enforcement, or where are you? You're talking about the now. They're the first be it now, therefore be it resolved where it reiterates

1658
02:56:16,732 --> 02:56:16,732
that the paragraph from the policy, you're saying you don't want that because you think

1659
02:56:21,132 --> 02:56:21,132
that's confusing. It's very confusing. So I say that the second paragraph, the state and

1660
02:56:27,132 --> 02:56:30,732
federal law enforcement, we work in partnership with schools, protect campuses, respond to emergencies, are charged with enforcing federal, state and local law and

1661
02:56:34,666 --> 02:56:34,666
protecting national security in accordance their sworn duties. If we keep all of that in and

1662
02:56:39,132 --> 02:56:39,132
then what? You want to take everything else out? Well, we're only we're only

1663
02:56:44,099 --> 02:56:44,099
considering right now adding in adding state and federal law enforcement. I'm a no on that,

1664
02:56:49,832 --> 02:56:49,832
tricia. I'm okay with adding state, but not federal. Maryland. Wait, so you so now

1665
02:56:57,066 --> 02:56:57,066
it's local and state, but not federal, I don't understand, I think we should just say law

1666
02:57:02,432 --> 02:57:02,432
enforcement agencies and okay, we can do that. So we're not going to add the state and

1667
02:57:09,066 --> 02:57:09,066
federal. So we'll just keep it. I think if we just say law enforcement. So you're taking

1668
02:57:13,232 --> 02:57:17,232
out local. No. No. Local okay. Yes. Take out you're taking out local. You're just saying agencies. Can it say all law enforcement agencies partnership. Why not. Could it

1669
02:57:21,866 --> 02:57:21,866
say law enforcement agencies who work in partnership with schools. Because okay. Oh my

1670
02:57:28,732 --> 02:57:28,732
gosh that means state and federal. So we'll do it. It actually means that because if

1671
02:57:34,499 --> 02:57:34,499
you think it means federal then we can strike all of it. I'll take it out. I don't mind, but

1672
02:57:39,499 --> 02:57:39,499
carrie, what does it mean when it just says law enforcement? All all law enforcement works

1673
02:57:43,532 --> 02:57:47,099
with schools in partnership with schools? Well, the the law enforcement that works in partnership with our schools is our local law enforcement. Well, because chp also does and they

1674
02:57:52,532 --> 02:57:52,532
are state. Yes, yes. State okay. So and sheriff like I mean oh my goodness. Local sheriff is

1675
02:58:01,466 --> 02:58:01,466
local local local I understand like there's county though. County which is local which is

1676
02:58:07,599 --> 02:58:07,599
local because they're in charge of your belinda. So they're very very local. They're on our

1677
02:58:13,032 --> 02:58:13,032
campuses every day 100%. I think with that, we leave it as well as local law enforcement

1678
02:58:19,132 --> 02:58:19,132
agencies who work in partnership with schools to protect. Hold on. But marilyn

1679
02:58:23,799 --> 02:58:23,799
said that she would say law enforcement. Would you agree? I just said to put in. Whereas

1680
02:58:29,899 --> 02:58:29,899
local law enforcement agencies who work in partnership with schools, I would just leave it

1681
02:58:33,966 --> 02:58:33,966
as where for law enforcement agencies who work in partnership with with our

1682
02:58:40,032 --> 02:58:40,032
school, with pylusd. Yeah. Because this is this is because this is our resolution and our

1683
02:58:51,866 --> 02:58:51,866
but it says pylusd at the top. So let me let me read it again. Whereas law enforcement

1684
02:58:58,732 --> 02:58:58,732
agencies who work in partnership with pylusd schools to protect campuses, respond to

1685
02:59:04,099 --> 02:59:04,099
emergencies and promote community safety. Yes and yes. The two of you, yes or no? You

1686
02:59:08,799 --> 02:59:08,799
didn't finish that sentence. Where do you end that sentence? Community safety. Yeah. Whereas

1687
02:59:14,699 --> 02:59:14,699
okay, so whereas law enforcement I just like dot dot dot. Yeah. Whereas law

1688
02:59:20,632 --> 02:59:20,632
enforcement agencies who work in partnership with pylusd schools to protect campuses,

1689
02:59:25,399 --> 02:59:25,399
respond to emergencies and promote community safety. Agreed. I'm hearing seeing nods.

1690
02:59:32,199 --> 02:59:32,199
okay. I mean, that's fine. So that one will change. Okay. All right. So with that, so do we

1691
02:59:44,599 --> 02:59:44,599
go to the. So the the the third one is good. The no. Because we are only considering putting in

1692
02:59:51,032 --> 02:59:54,266
that she said because everything else has been dropped. No. She's saying the third and fourth that's in she's saying the ones that are not struck, the third and the

1693
02:59:58,366 --> 02:59:58,366
fourth law is foundation principle to our nation. Okay. Now, now. So then we go to now

1694
03:00:03,466 --> 03:00:06,566
therefore be it resolved, that the placentia-yorba linda board of education affirms its support for law enforcement officers. Yeah, I think that should be consistent. That

1695
03:00:10,466 --> 03:00:10,466
should just be law enforcement officers. So if we're going to be consistent, it needs to take

1696
03:00:14,932 --> 03:00:14,932
local out and have it just be law enforcement. I think it should be local. Well, if we if

1697
03:00:19,832 --> 03:00:19,832
we go to where the second paragraph where it says law enforcement officers, the the

1698
03:00:24,566 --> 03:00:24,566
after the therefore be resolved, we're still talking about the law enforcement officer. I get

1699
03:00:28,766 --> 03:00:28,766
that at the top. My preference would be to leave in local. Okay. My preference is to be

1700
03:00:33,566 --> 03:00:33,566
take it out. I would just let it match up above. It needs to be consistent. It needs to be

1701
03:00:41,032 --> 03:00:44,866
consistent. Okay. So that's three. So we'll take out local. So then it goes be it further resolved the board recognizes the essential role these agencies play in maintaining

1702
03:00:47,966 --> 03:00:51,166
public safety protecting schools families and neighborhoods. Be it further resolved that the board commits to maintaining open, cooperative relationships with

1703
03:00:54,399 --> 03:00:54,399
all public safety partners to ensure campus security and emergency readiness. Now, the

1704
03:00:59,466 --> 03:00:59,466
next one tricia struck was about the correct. So the next one is okay. And then be it

1705
03:01:04,766 --> 03:01:04,766
further resolved that the board encourages respectful dialog, transparency with parents and

1706
03:01:09,499 --> 03:01:09,499
community unity. It's a little different. It's the board encourages and tell me if I'm

1707
03:01:13,899 --> 03:01:13,899
wrong because I just copied encourages respectful dialog and transparency with students,

1708
03:01:20,232 --> 03:01:20,232
parents, employees, community and local law enforcement and law enforcement. Yeah, and law

1709
03:01:27,032 --> 03:01:27,032
enforcement, I would say to keep it unified. Encourage respectful dialog. And we can

1710
03:01:35,799 --> 03:01:35,799
we can have a respectful dialog and and be transparent and yep, employees. Who work in law

1711
03:01:47,966 --> 03:01:47,966
enforcement, who work with pylusd and law enforcement, who work, who work in conjunction

1712
03:01:55,199 --> 03:01:55,199
in partnership like we did above. Yeah. Use in partnership, consistent with the language.

1713
03:02:00,566 --> 03:02:00,566
that's all I'm asking. Okay. So let me read it again. Be it further resolved that the board

1714
03:02:07,699 --> 03:02:07,699
encourages respectful dialog and transparency with students, parents, employees and

1715
03:02:12,066 --> 03:02:12,066
community employees, community and law enforcement who work in partnership with pylusd. Okay.

1716
03:02:22,199 --> 03:02:22,199
all right. So with that, all the let's take a vote, all those in favor and opposed.

1717
03:02:28,332 --> 03:02:28,332
motion carries five zero. And with that we're going to take a 15 minute break. So you can

1718
03:02:35,066 --> 03:02:35,066
decide if you want to stay or leave or we. Ready. Okay. We are back from our break at 915. And

1719
03:02:54,474 --> 03:02:54,474
that takes us into consent calendar actions proposed for the consent calendar. Items are

1720
03:03:00,574 --> 03:03:04,207
consistent with approved practices for the district and are deemed routine in nature. The trustees received backup information in advance of scheduled meetings and are

1721
03:03:09,340 --> 03:03:09,340
prepared to vote with the knowledge on the block vote items. Block vote items. Is

1722
03:03:13,507 --> 03:03:13,507
there anyone who needs to pull anything? Wait, do we have to go back? Or is that. I don't

1723
03:03:24,074 --> 03:03:24,074
know, I'm just following my script. We. Write, we flip the order, and then we just pulled

1724
03:03:34,907 --> 03:03:34,907
the other two. So we are consent. It's okay. So does anybody have anything to pull?

1725
03:03:43,774 --> 03:03:43,774
I do, we were so close I know. I meant to the consent item I'm going to pull 18.1. Anyone else?

1726
03:03:59,940 --> 03:03:59,940
hold on. I have like are you kidding? Okay so with that, I need a motion to approve the

1727
03:04:11,140 --> 03:04:11,140
consent calendar minus the one pulled. So moved. Okay. Second, moved by mrs. Blade. Second by

1728
03:04:16,840 --> 03:04:16,840
mrs. Quintero. Any comments? All those in favor? I. Motion carries five zero. Okay. Mrs.

1729
03:04:26,674 --> 03:04:26,674
anderson. Okay. I like to make a motion to approve 18.1 independent consultant

1730
03:04:34,574 --> 03:04:34,574
contracts agreements as listed in accordance with board policy number 4124 retention of

1731
03:04:41,007 --> 03:04:41,007
consultants. I'll second. Okay. Motion and a second. Mrs. Anderson, what would you like

1732
03:04:47,907 --> 03:04:47,907
to share? Okay. I just had a question. And last time we hired this company in june of

1733
03:04:59,107 --> 03:04:59,107
2024, we had to pay an annual cost for name and training system of 20 grand. Why is a 20

1734
03:05:05,874 --> 03:05:05,874
grand annual fee not required under this current proposal? And what is the name of the

1735
03:05:10,407 --> 03:05:10,407
company that you're. It's the it's access human potential. Yes. Thank you. I'm going to

1736
03:05:19,907 --> 03:05:19,907
ask the team who are on this agenda item, which are mr. Young and. Mr. Lopez, if they

1737
03:05:30,007 --> 03:05:30,007
would speak to the questions that you have. Thank you. So in a careful review of last year's

1738
03:05:39,674 --> 03:05:39,674
contract with the same vendor, and looking at that proposal and actually conferring with

1739
03:05:44,440 --> 03:05:44,440
that ceo, each of the vendors that came to usc to provide service in the 2425 school year

1740
03:05:51,974 --> 03:05:51,974
were asked to put that provision in their proposal so that the district, in their

1741
03:05:58,440 --> 03:05:58,440
marketing and advertising of the usc program, could use the name of the company in those

1742
03:06:04,107 --> 03:06:04,107
marketing and promotional materials. So we requested that they include it, that we pay

1743
03:06:10,240 --> 03:06:10,240
them for. In previous years, it was requested by prior leadership, requested to to the

1744
03:06:20,374 --> 03:06:20,374
company name, and then that's the charge fee. They decided to charge us for that name usage.

1745
03:06:26,507 --> 03:06:26,507
correct. Who came up with the price? Was that our suggestion or their suggestion? Great

1746
03:06:32,274 --> 03:06:32,274
question. I was not part of the negotiating team for that contract or that proposal, so

1747
03:06:37,107 --> 03:06:37,107
I'm not sure. But what I understand is each of the three vendors that came there were

1748
03:06:42,040 --> 03:06:42,040
given that same 20,000 addition in their proposals, has scope changed for access human

1749
03:06:49,840 --> 03:06:49,840
potential? I'm sorry, has scope changed the scope? The scope has changed. So access human

1750
03:06:58,874 --> 03:06:58,874
potential, you know, served roughly 100 students who were enrolled at usc during the 24,

1751
03:07:03,574 --> 03:07:03,574
25 school year. What we're proposing with this 18.1 is that each of the four

1752
03:07:11,040 --> 03:07:11,040
comprehensive high schools gets an opportunity to try their services with their baseball

1753
03:07:17,640 --> 03:07:17,640
team for boys and their girls softball team, to see whether or not it brings value to the

1754
03:07:23,340 --> 03:07:23,340
coaches and the players in their respective spring sports, should they like what they get

1755
03:07:28,774 --> 03:07:28,774
out of the program, then it'll be on the boosters to next year, re-up with them in whatever

1756
03:07:36,374 --> 03:07:36,374
sports and categories they want. This is a last opportunity for them to take advantage of the

1757
03:07:41,007 --> 03:07:41,007
funding available this year. And how many students do you estimate will be able to

1758
03:07:47,440 --> 03:07:47,440
receive these benefits this year? So with the contract in front of you being roughly

1759
03:07:54,707 --> 03:07:54,707
$7,500 in each of the varsity baseball softball teams being roughly somewhere between 30

1760
03:08:01,740 --> 03:08:01,740
and 40 rostered, we're talking about 40 times eight. So. The 7500 is total for those 320,

1761
03:08:11,974 --> 03:08:11,974
correct? Great deal much better than adding on 20,000. Yeah. What was the price before. So

1762
03:08:19,874 --> 03:08:19,874
the price for the entire usc contract proposal was $52,000. Yeah. And 20 of that was just

1763
03:08:28,474 --> 03:08:28,474
for the name and and training in 2024 and 2024 name and training system. So we we paid

1764
03:08:35,707 --> 03:08:35,707
30,000 for 100 students, 100 students and $20,000 just to have their name and training

1765
03:08:44,940 --> 03:08:44,940
system. And this time we're paying almost, almost 77,000 for 320 students. Well, let's

1766
03:08:52,974 --> 03:08:52,974
also remember too, that usc was a year long contract. And this is just for a baseball and

1767
03:08:57,640 --> 03:08:57,640
softball season. So this is only for a couple of months. She was there the entire time

1768
03:09:01,674 --> 03:09:01,674
for the usc with all sports, and it was for an entire year. So it would make sense if this

1769
03:09:06,707 --> 03:09:06,707
is for 2 or 3 months being 7500 versus an entire ten months. So that's probably why it is a

1770
03:09:13,040 --> 03:09:13,040
lower cost. This is a much better value. Thank you for sharing the background

1771
03:09:17,440 --> 03:09:17,440
information and not including the 20,000. Yeah, I'm just really grateful to see that

1772
03:09:25,007 --> 03:09:25,007
that name and training system was not mandatory like we were told. I remember personally

1773
03:09:30,774 --> 03:09:30,774
discussing this item and saying, we need to go back and renegotiate. And they're like,

1774
03:09:35,107 --> 03:09:35,107
no, this is the deal. So it's nice to know that. And I'm grateful for our current

1775
03:09:39,407 --> 03:09:39,407
administration for being good stewards of our limited funding. So that's it. Okay. So with

1776
03:09:45,574 --> 03:09:45,574
that, we'll take a vote. All those in favor I, I motion carries five zero. Okay. So

1777
03:09:54,540 --> 03:09:54,540
that leads us to presentations. And I conferred with doctor kim. And we are going to just go

1778
03:10:03,174 --> 03:10:03,174
over the lcap presentation and we'll bring back the other two at a future meeting. So with

1779
03:10:10,040 --> 03:10:10,040
that doctor kim, I'll turn it over to you. Thank you. As doctor gray and I spent some

1780
03:10:18,307 --> 03:10:18,307
time going over what he's going to present. Certainly this is something you guys predict

1781
03:10:24,174 --> 03:10:24,174
every year. You know that this is a part of the february meeting. It is a mid-year

1782
03:10:28,207 --> 03:10:28,207
update which is required. We're going to talk about both the district local control and

1783
03:10:34,874 --> 03:10:34,874
accountability plan, as well as the ocsc one, since you are the governing board for them as

1784
03:10:41,174 --> 03:10:41,174
well. So he is prepared to speak to both of those and will occasionally ask me to step in

1785
03:10:48,174 --> 03:10:52,140
and provide a little bit of commentary as we're looking at some of the strategic planning process and what we're predicting and expecting going forward into next year. Doctor

1786
03:10:59,174 --> 03:10:59,174
gray. Is that on? All right. Try number two. All right. Good evening again. It's my pleasure

1787
03:11:18,240 --> 03:11:18,240
to present to you our lcap meteor update, presented in a more broad brush format. We do

1788
03:11:23,174 --> 03:11:23,174
have a robust number of slides, but I got it down to pretty quick. So hopefully we can get

1789
03:11:28,340 --> 03:11:31,674
through this. And then if there are questions or suggestions for our study session that we'll have in april, I'll be happy to address those. So our lcap is a three year district

1790
03:11:36,640 --> 03:11:36,640
level plan that describes our goals, actions, services and expenditures in order to

1791
03:11:41,040 --> 03:11:41,040
support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. We are in

1792
03:11:45,374 --> 03:11:45,374
year two of our plan and are in the process of making revisions to actions for year three based

1793
03:11:50,607 --> 03:11:50,607
on the effectiveness of each action, as measured by the progress towards our desired

1794
03:11:55,507 --> 03:11:55,507
three year outcome. Our pylusd lcap has nine goals, with the first two focusing on actions

1795
03:12:03,074 --> 03:12:03,074
provided for all students in order to support their success. The next five are focused on

1796
03:12:07,740 --> 03:12:07,740
closing the achievement gap for the unduplicated students at the lcap legislation defines as

1797
03:12:13,174 --> 03:12:13,174
english learners, long term english learners, socioeconomically disadvantaged

1798
03:12:17,807 --> 03:12:17,807
students and foster youth, and the final two goals provide focused actions to address the

1799
03:12:23,107 --> 03:12:23,107
lowest performing groups and sites, as well as el camino real high school. Based on the

1800
03:12:27,840 --> 03:12:31,807
equity multiplier funds that they receive, we have to incorporate them into our district. Lcap. As you know, ocs also has an lcap as a charter school. Lcap shares the

1801
03:12:40,474 --> 03:12:40,474
six goals that are in black. Text on the slide with pills lcap. The gray ones were

1802
03:12:45,607 --> 03:12:45,607
germane to other schools or our pylusd specific actions, so we're not included in oshs lcap

1803
03:12:52,740 --> 03:12:52,740
the action steps overlap significantly, so I will be addressing the expenditures for

1804
03:12:57,140 --> 03:12:57,140
all the actions at once, rather than going through each list separately for the sake of time.

1805
03:13:05,040 --> 03:13:05,040
beginning in the 2324 school year, a new requirement to present a mid-year lcap update

1806
03:13:09,407 --> 03:13:09,407
was passed. The required components of the meteor update that you are seeing include an

1807
03:13:13,640 --> 03:13:17,607
updated budget overview for parents. The doctor pappalardo will talk about in a moment. All available mid-year outcome data related to metrics defined in the current lcap and all

1808
03:13:23,307 --> 03:13:23,307
available mid-year expenditure and implementation data. Tonight, I'll give a high level

1809
03:13:29,074 --> 03:13:29,074
overview of student achievement as reflective of our lcap goals and an update on our

1810
03:13:33,507 --> 03:13:33,507
expenditures related to the 88 data points we monitor, and the 139 actions that we are taking

1811
03:13:39,207 --> 03:13:39,207
to realize these goals. Of note is that there is no required template for the mid-year

1812
03:13:44,307 --> 03:13:44,307
update, and the governing board is not required to adopt it. It simply needs to be presented to

1813
03:13:48,540 --> 03:13:48,540
you, and while it will not be included or attached in the 2627 lcap, the information

1814
03:13:53,574 --> 03:13:53,574
presented is used to inform the development of next year's lcap. And again, we will have a study

1815
03:13:58,907 --> 03:13:58,907
session in april to get into the details. I will now turn it over to doctor john pappalardo

1816
03:14:04,007 --> 03:14:07,774
to briefly review the budget overview for parents, which is the next slide on the screen right now. Very good. Thank you. So the entirety of this one page budget overview is a

1817
03:14:16,274 --> 03:14:16,274
representation of our the center column. There. 2526 first interim budget that we

1818
03:14:22,007 --> 03:14:22,007
went over in december. And it compares to the adopted budget that was adopted this past june

1819
03:14:30,240 --> 03:14:30,240
of 2025. So as you can see, we have about $4 million more in lcff funding due to looking at

1820
03:14:41,874 --> 03:14:41,874
our our latest and greatest enrollment numbers. This again is as of december. Supplemental

1821
03:14:49,407 --> 03:14:49,407
grant funding is up a little bit. It it follows the lcff funding. Federal grants and

1822
03:14:56,974 --> 03:14:56,974
federal funds were estimated in december and carryover was budgeted. The same with the

1823
03:15:02,674 --> 03:15:02,674
state funds then local funds budgeted as we know as we knew at the time. Two months ago,

1824
03:15:13,840 --> 03:15:13,840
along with the totals of our our general fund revenues up about $20.5 million, and our

1825
03:15:21,440 --> 03:15:21,440
budgeted expenditures as we budgeted carryover funds $17 million. Overall, we were at a

1826
03:15:29,707 --> 03:15:29,707
plus, just over about $3.5 million in december. So this represents the overview of our

1827
03:15:38,640 --> 03:15:38,640
budget that is within the lcap. That is for parents, a one page view. As you are aware, in june

1828
03:15:48,174 --> 03:15:48,174
there will be two board meetings. The first board meeting there is a there is a

1829
03:15:54,907 --> 03:15:54,907
public hearing on the lcap and a presentation of the lcap that comes before the budget item,

1830
03:16:01,074 --> 03:16:01,074
the the june budget for 2627, that we will then have a public hearing and discuss at the

1831
03:16:08,574 --> 03:16:08,574
second board meeting in june is the adoption of the lcap first, and then of the district's

1832
03:16:14,340 --> 03:16:14,340
budget, and the state law requires it in this particular order. So that concludes my

1833
03:16:20,474 --> 03:16:20,474
presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I will take us through a high level overview

1834
03:16:26,407 --> 03:16:26,407
of the district's available mid-year outcome data. Again, as it relates to the 88 metrics

1835
03:16:30,574 --> 03:16:30,574
that we have identified in our lcap. Before we dive into the data which drives our goals and

1836
03:16:35,640 --> 03:16:39,407
actions, it's important to take a moment to understand the california school dashboard, which is the accountability and continuous improvement system by which all schools and

1837
03:16:43,140 --> 03:16:43,140
districts are measured in the state. The california school dashboard provides information

1838
03:16:47,440 --> 03:16:47,440
about how districts and schools are meeting the needs of california's diverse student

1839
03:16:51,507 --> 03:16:51,507
population, based on multiple measures. It shows performance of districts, schools, and

1840
03:16:55,740 --> 03:16:55,740
student groups on a set of state and state and local measures that assist in

1841
03:17:00,407 --> 03:17:00,407
identifying strengths, weaknesses and areas in need of improvement. The dashboard

1842
03:17:04,740 --> 03:17:04,740
displays performance based on two factors current data on the measure and improvement, or

1843
03:17:09,807 --> 03:17:09,807
lack of improvement from prior year results. The performance level or color is determined by

1844
03:17:14,674 --> 03:17:14,674
the point at which these two levels intersect. The desired colors are cooler, with blue

1845
03:17:19,507 --> 03:17:23,440
and green being the highest performance levels and orange and red being the lowest performance levels. As we will see, we have few metrics remaining in red and orange,

1846
03:17:28,274 --> 03:17:28,274
with almost all of our metrics being in the yellow, green, and blue range. Notably, the lcap

1847
03:17:34,274 --> 03:17:34,274
legislation does not designate students with disabilities as being an explicit part of the

1848
03:17:38,474 --> 03:17:42,040
plan. So while we monitor the outcomes for this student group and support their achievement in many ways, data points for this group are not going to be covered tonight. The first

1849
03:17:48,307 --> 03:17:51,940
table pertains to ela proficiency of our students, based on the smarter balanced assessment that students in grades three through eight and 11 take each spring. At the end

1850
03:17:56,374 --> 03:17:56,374
of last school year, nearly 68% of all students scored proficient or advanced,

1851
03:18:00,940 --> 03:18:00,940
demonstrating progress towards our three year goal, which you can see on the right hand

1852
03:18:05,040 --> 03:18:05,040
column. The foster youth group has shown remarkable progress already, meeting the three year

1853
03:18:09,174 --> 03:18:09,174
outcome. When we look at the math achievement of students across the district, we see

1854
03:18:14,307 --> 03:18:14,307
similar positive progress for all students and the three groups that are named in the

1855
03:18:19,740 --> 03:18:19,740
lcap. Our college and career indicator also has seen positive progress with our

1856
03:18:27,540 --> 03:18:27,540
english learner student group showing the most progress moving from 11.4 to over 20% of

1857
03:18:34,074 --> 03:18:34,074
students. Having met this indicator with the class of 2025. Our graduation rate for

1858
03:18:41,607 --> 03:18:41,607
the class of 2025 was 95.6%, just 0.2% away from our desired three year outcome. And gains

1859
03:18:48,840 --> 03:18:48,840
are also seen for our english learners and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Our

1860
03:18:53,440 --> 03:18:53,440
foster youth population was too small of a population to be reported, since this was just

1861
03:18:57,640 --> 03:18:57,640
the one graduating class. Our other high school data indicates that our dropout rate

1862
03:19:03,307 --> 03:19:03,307
has not declined like we had hoped, and our a through g rate remains around 60%, so there is

1863
03:19:08,174 --> 03:19:08,174
still some work to be done in this area. Can I ask a quick question? Sure. So just looking

1864
03:19:13,774 --> 03:19:13,774
at graduation rate dashboard for socioeconomically disadvantaged, it says that we

1865
03:19:18,740 --> 03:19:18,740
are at a 94.8 which is green. And then the desired three year outcome is 94.8 blue. So what

1866
03:19:26,940 --> 03:19:26,940
is what's happening there. Yeah. So thank you for that attention to detail. When the lcap was

1867
03:19:33,007 --> 03:19:33,007
written in 2023, the 94.8% was predicted to be blue level, but they actually recolored the

1868
03:19:39,907 --> 03:19:39,907
dashboard every year. Okay. And so while the green and blue kind of give us an indication

1869
03:19:45,840 --> 03:19:45,840
of the direction we're trending, when we get to the details, we look at the actual percentage

1870
03:19:50,040 --> 03:19:53,940
of achievement. Okay, thank you. And you'll see that a couple other times where the color doesn't quite match the percentage. And that's simply because the dashboard is

1871
03:19:56,907 --> 03:19:56,907
regenerated every year in november I believe is when it's published. All right. So just a

1872
03:20:04,040 --> 03:20:04,040
follow up question on that. Do when we redo our lcap in the spring, do we update the colors

1873
03:20:09,840 --> 03:20:09,840
then to match what the current is? Or do we keep the the colors the same? When we look

1874
03:20:16,674 --> 03:20:16,674
at writing our lcap for 2627, we will look at the predictive analytics of what we think the

1875
03:20:22,240 --> 03:20:22,240
color will be to align with the percentage. But again, it's recalculated based on a

1876
03:20:28,140 --> 03:20:28,140
longitudinal and instantaneous data sampling. So it's not up to us. They tell us the colors

1877
03:20:32,807 --> 03:20:32,807
in november. So it's like a 95 could be a blue one year and then it could be a green

1878
03:20:38,807 --> 03:20:38,807
another year. For example, if your percentage was 96 one year and then 95 the next year, it

1879
03:20:43,240 --> 03:20:43,240
would actually be you would have gotten dinged for declining. Can I ask a question,

1880
03:20:47,607 --> 03:20:47,607
please? Then do the colors even matter? It's just an easy the numbers make sense. The like I

1881
03:20:54,507 --> 03:20:54,507
don't care. The numbers need to be higher. Period. That's what we look at. So okay cool. Just

1882
03:20:59,474 --> 03:20:59,474
making sure that I'm tracking that. That doesn't make any sense. It I'll leave that up to

1883
03:21:03,807 --> 03:21:03,807
the cde. As far as the colors, the we're going to stick with percentages. And also we're

1884
03:21:08,974 --> 03:21:12,740
getting more data about distance from standard, which measures the achievement of all students, which we didn't have access to when this plan was written. So as we lean into the

1885
03:21:17,507 --> 03:21:17,507
strategic planning, we want to get more granular and accurate with our goals. I think part of

1886
03:21:21,740 --> 03:21:21,740
my takeaway is we're using a flat metric in a three dimensional world. And what I

1887
03:21:29,940 --> 03:21:29,940
mean by that is in two other places where I've led, we've had a growth model for at least

1888
03:21:36,107 --> 03:21:36,107
the last 10 to 12 years, and that growth model tells you, you know, you have students

1889
03:21:41,540 --> 03:21:41,540
that, frankly, whether it's english language as as a learning potential for them, if

1890
03:21:49,107 --> 03:21:49,107
it's they come from a socioeconomically disadvantaged household, whether they

1891
03:21:53,440 --> 03:21:53,440
experience a disability. But when you look at, okay, I might be at 38% and I grew to 43%,

1892
03:22:03,574 --> 03:22:03,574
and you go, okay, but this school over here grew by 28%. Looking at the growth model and

1893
03:22:08,974 --> 03:22:08,974
asking the question, how much did they grow? How much were they anticipated to grow? And

1894
03:22:14,674 --> 03:22:14,674
did we add value to their educational experience? Is that is that sizable? Is it

1895
03:22:20,474 --> 03:22:20,474
qualitatively different enough? And so my understanding is that the state of california is

1896
03:22:24,840 --> 03:22:24,840
looking at building a growth metric coming, but it isn't something that we have right

1897
03:22:30,940 --> 03:22:30,940
now. And so when we do, we're going to suddenly be able to have some dimension and know

1898
03:22:35,274 --> 03:22:35,274
how much should we expect in terms of gains, what's a reasonable amount? Rather than

1899
03:22:39,940 --> 03:22:39,940
say, well, wait, that arbitrary color changed? Okay, but what does the growth model say? How

1900
03:22:44,474 --> 03:22:44,474
much should they be growing and how much should we set a target? And did they meet that or not.

1901
03:22:51,774 --> 03:22:51,774
so what you're saying is having usable data. Yes. Wow. Yes. Concept. So it's coming. It's

1902
03:22:58,607 --> 03:22:58,607
coming. Thank you. Yeah. Released a preview of the growth model for two of the

1903
03:23:02,674 --> 03:23:02,674
metrics. California tracks a lot. So I'm I'm eager to have a more actionable data. So does

1904
03:23:07,907 --> 03:23:07,907
the the data models that you got access to for other research purposes. Does that

1905
03:23:13,007 --> 03:23:13,007
give us I know it's not statewide specific, but when you're grabbing other other

1906
03:23:17,640 --> 03:23:17,640
local districts comparative to us, is that another way for us to have our own growth model?

1907
03:23:22,974 --> 03:23:22,974
well, it's not a growth model. What it does tell us, though, is longitudinal data. When we

1908
03:23:27,007 --> 03:23:27,007
look at how have we done over a three year period of time with like student populations or

1909
03:23:32,740 --> 03:23:32,740
like schools, then we know, are we trending based on a similarity to other that serve

1910
03:23:39,174 --> 03:23:39,174
similar student populations as us? It's still not a growth model. A growth model is very

1911
03:23:44,207 --> 03:23:48,140
different than that. And that's a whole nother like presentation that we can dive into when we're ready for it, because it gives us a lot more sense making about our data.

1912
03:23:54,640 --> 03:23:54,640
yeah. So we're we're not into predictive analytics with this data. So just jumping back in

1913
03:24:00,007 --> 03:24:00,007
if there are. So we're working on 21st century skills. So our winter I-ready diagnostic

1914
03:24:07,640 --> 03:24:11,474
outcomes from our elementary sites are generally showing progress with our english learner student group showing the most need for support for the I-ready math diagnostic.

1915
03:24:17,007 --> 03:24:17,007
it's demonstrating positive trends for the all students and socioeconomically disadvantaged

1916
03:24:21,607 --> 03:24:21,607
and foster youth student groups with ell student achievement holding steady. Our english

1917
03:24:28,307 --> 03:24:28,307
learner students. Our students whose primary language is one other than english and who have

1918
03:24:33,540 --> 03:24:33,540
not yet reclassified. Every year we reclassify students out of this group, so it's a pretty

1919
03:24:39,140 --> 03:24:39,140
dynamic population. Our reclassification rate has moved past the desired three year

1920
03:24:43,674 --> 03:24:43,674
outcome, with the other metrics still showing areas of need. When we look at long term

1921
03:24:49,507 --> 03:24:52,674
english learners who are students, who have been designated as english learners for seven years or more, the data for this student group indicates that we still have

1922
03:24:56,640 --> 03:24:56,640
work to do to support their achievement, in addition to supporting them to reclassify

1923
03:25:00,874 --> 03:25:00,874
before they become long term english learners. When we examine our school climate data,

1924
03:25:07,740 --> 03:25:07,740
our suspension rates for all student and each student group has shown declines, with some

1925
03:25:12,340 --> 03:25:12,340
groups having already met the desired three year outcome goal. And our chronic absenteeism

1926
03:25:19,307 --> 03:25:19,307
rates have declined for all students. Metric and for our english learner and

1927
03:25:23,940 --> 03:25:27,740
socioeconomically disadvantaged students, which with this metric we want to decline because that means more students are attending more often and our foster youth

1928
03:25:30,840 --> 03:25:30,840
chronic absenteeism remains around 32%. Yes, I find this to be quite interesting because

1929
03:25:37,974 --> 03:25:37,974
the chronic absentee rate is so low. But then you go back and you look at there's one that

1930
03:25:44,207 --> 03:25:44,207
really stuck out to me here with them, the iready math like they have, they went from 2.9%

1931
03:25:52,807 --> 03:25:52,807
to 17%. I just find that fascinating because if they're chronically absent, then we see

1932
03:25:59,240 --> 03:25:59,240
that large growth there, too. It's just an odd anomaly that I would like to hear more about.

1933
03:26:07,107 --> 03:26:07,107
I mean, is our subpopulation really low? Is that why there's it's our smallest population in

1934
03:26:12,574 --> 03:26:12,574
terms of the nrs statistical significance? But I also give credit to our teachers for

1935
03:26:17,007 --> 03:26:20,874
working with students when they're there. Yeah, I mean it's they're there. You can see the progress even though and we know that chronic absenteeism in that group is so contingent

1936
03:26:27,474 --> 03:26:27,474
on so many other things. So that was a nice metric to see. Starting last year as the

1937
03:26:35,507 --> 03:26:39,440
recipient of equity multiplier funds due to their student instability rate, we are required to have actions and monitor data points for el camino real continuation high

1938
03:26:43,074 --> 03:26:43,074
school. In our lcap. We will examine those, but we will not see any foster youth data

1939
03:26:47,840 --> 03:26:47,840
reported for el camino due to the size of the student population. So on the screen is

1940
03:26:52,374 --> 03:26:52,374
our language arts achievement data, and that remains an area of growth for el camino.

1941
03:26:57,240 --> 03:27:00,874
conversely, math achievement is moving upwards across all the measured student groups. So we're seeing some positive trends and the english learner progress rate for el camino

1942
03:27:05,907 --> 03:27:09,074
real high school is actually surpassed the percentage goal for the desired three year outcome. Yeah. Even though the color is different, the percentage is higher. When we

1943
03:27:14,874 --> 03:27:14,874
look at the suspension rate for all students and for white students whose metric was in

1944
03:27:18,940 --> 03:27:22,807
the red, so it needed to specifically be monitored. They have also seen improvement beyond the desired three year outcome. The college and career readiness data shows areas of

1945
03:27:29,040 --> 03:27:29,040
need across all of the student groups. But in the following slides, we're going to see some

1946
03:27:33,774 --> 03:27:33,774
indicators of progress for el camino real. Specifically, the graduation rate has increased

1947
03:27:37,974 --> 03:27:37,974
to surpass the desired three year outcome. It's actually above 85% now, which is awesome.

1948
03:27:43,240 --> 03:27:43,240
I have a question on the college and career readiness. Is. The reason why it's so low.

1949
03:27:52,607 --> 03:27:52,607
is that just on? I guess the system of the school where students come that are missing

1950
03:28:00,307 --> 03:28:00,307
and so they're kind of coming in and out, is that why is that a possible reason? I would say

1951
03:28:05,940 --> 03:28:05,940
that's a significant factor. The college career indicator is complex. It has 12 different

1952
03:28:10,740 --> 03:28:10,740
metrics a student can use to meet college and career readiness. But I think we also

1953
03:28:16,007 --> 03:28:19,807
understand that el camino real high school is there to support students for whom things haven't gone according to plan. And so while we are mandated to track this outcome, the school

1954
03:28:26,074 --> 03:28:30,040
is actually looking to support student outcomes in other ways, such as senior exit plans and things like that, to make sure they leave with their own momentum, even if they aren't

1955
03:28:34,407 --> 03:28:34,407
necessarily eligible for the college career indicator dashboard metric. The cte

1956
03:28:39,107 --> 03:28:39,107
provides. Okay. Thank you. I have a question on the slide as well. So we call out homeless

1957
03:28:44,540 --> 03:28:44,540
students in this slide. But we don't in any of the other areas previous. Can we get

1958
03:28:52,440 --> 03:28:52,440
information on that. Why why wouldn't we include it already. And can we get detail on how

1959
03:28:58,207 --> 03:28:58,207
that particular subpopulation is is doing. And I say that because I looked at the the

1960
03:29:06,474 --> 03:29:06,474
population across the county and we are the third highest in in homeless students and that

1961
03:29:14,040 --> 03:29:14,040
in that it's mckinney-vento students. So it's doubled and tripled up as well. So that's a

1962
03:29:19,940 --> 03:29:19,940
little bit different when you look at the the way that hud would define homeless, which

1963
03:29:26,240 --> 03:29:26,240
doubled or tripled up would qualify as housed. So I'm just curious what that looks like.

1964
03:29:34,107 --> 03:29:34,107
and I guess I'll leave it at that. Yeah, I'll, I'll work with the team to, to pull that.

1965
03:29:39,407 --> 03:29:42,774
thank you. They were specifically mentioned because again, as el camino real receives equity multiplier funds, we need to specifically track any student group that is

1966
03:29:47,807 --> 03:29:51,807
performing in the lowest level. And so that's why there was the student group for suspension rates as well. When we didn't talk about that student group at any other on any other slide.

1967
03:29:56,007 --> 03:29:56,007
okay. Thank you. For the additional data. We look at passing rates. So el camino

1968
03:30:04,074 --> 03:30:04,074
real students are passing their courses at a higher rate and are enrolling in cte programs

1969
03:30:09,040 --> 03:30:09,040
at rates actually approaching again that desired three year goal. So we are seeing positive

1970
03:30:13,374 --> 03:30:13,374
trends. So now we're into local indicator metrics that we as a district track. We need to

1971
03:30:19,840 --> 03:30:19,840
monitor the implementation of california state standards. Well we know that is happening

1972
03:30:24,107 --> 03:30:24,107
in our classrooms there. The report is not available yet. So there is no not any data

1973
03:30:29,574 --> 03:30:29,574
available at this time. And we'll see that a couple more slides, similarly with teacher

1974
03:30:33,874 --> 03:30:33,874
assignments and textbook availability, the report is not issued before february. And our

1975
03:30:40,040 --> 03:30:40,040
district climate survey results. The surveys actually out right now. So I'd encourage all

1976
03:30:44,707 --> 03:30:44,707
families and students to take it so we can report the data and again, have it ready for

1977
03:30:49,207 --> 03:30:49,207
our april study session. At this point, we're going to start talking about orange

1978
03:30:54,607 --> 03:30:54,607
county school of computer science. But prior to doing so, doctor kim wanted to share some

1979
03:30:59,340 --> 03:30:59,340
thoughts. I've really enjoyed getting out and spending a little bit of time with the new.

1980
03:31:06,207 --> 03:31:06,207
well, I guess he's new at this point. Principal at really learning some of the work that

1981
03:31:11,740 --> 03:31:15,640
he's been doing, walking classrooms, getting to observe. And I wanted to share one of the contexts in this that jumped out to me. Specifically, we made a decision as a

1982
03:31:20,974 --> 03:31:20,974
district to implement singapore math, which is a high quality math program, but it is not

1983
03:31:27,240 --> 03:31:27,240
aligned to common core state standards. And so the challenge with that is if you choose a

1984
03:31:32,940 --> 03:31:32,940
math program like that, but you don't choose an alternative assessment, we're sort of

1985
03:31:37,940 --> 03:31:37,940
setting them up because the assessment is not going to measure what the way that the

1986
03:31:43,674 --> 03:31:43,674
students are learning. So one of the things that doctor gray and I have been talking through

1987
03:31:47,807 --> 03:31:47,807
and working on with cameron is the use of a different assessment tool like nwea map

1988
03:31:54,907 --> 03:31:54,907
assessment, which is designed to really assess, are our students learning math at the

1989
03:31:59,840 --> 03:31:59,840
rate that they should be? Are they making progress? And they too have a growth measure that

1990
03:32:04,674 --> 03:32:04,674
would tell us how kids are growing. And so I anticipate that being a part of their

1991
03:32:10,040 --> 03:32:10,040
practice going into next year, because it's really not it's not fair to the students, and

1992
03:32:14,140 --> 03:32:14,140
it's not fair to the educators to utilize an assessment tool and then use that to determine

1993
03:32:21,840 --> 03:32:21,840
a value of whether or not they're doing a good job or not. When it doesn't line up, they

1994
03:32:26,874 --> 03:32:30,807
really need an assessment that is designed to see whether our students are learning the way that they should be. And so that map assessment is going to give us that. And so we're

1995
03:32:35,674 --> 03:32:35,674
we're working with nweeia now to figure out how we utilize that so that we can give you a

1996
03:32:41,707 --> 03:32:41,707
clear indication. Yes our kids are on track. Yes, they are learning. Yes, they are making

1997
03:32:45,874 --> 03:32:45,874
progress. And it just looks different. What is in a nwa stands for northwest education

1998
03:32:56,807 --> 03:32:56,807
agency and it's out of the pacific northwest is where it started 30 plus years ago, but

1999
03:33:04,007 --> 03:33:04,007
it is an assessment tool that lots of districts use as a pre, mid and post assessment for

2000
03:33:10,140 --> 03:33:10,140
students because it has a running scale and a growth measurement like I talked about.

2001
03:33:14,174 --> 03:33:14,174
and so the ability to constantly use an interim assessment that says how are

2002
03:33:19,907 --> 03:33:19,907
kids doing and how do we know? Have they met their benchmarks at mid-year? Have they met

2003
03:33:24,807 --> 03:33:24,807
their benchmarks at the end of the year? We we have utilized that in other districts to

2004
03:33:29,207 --> 03:33:32,840
determine whether or not a student has a reading deficiency and should be on a plan in k through three. It has both a english language arts component as well as a math

2005
03:33:38,907 --> 03:33:38,907
component to it. So I expect to be able to utilize that to really help us gain a better

2006
03:33:44,574 --> 03:33:44,574
insight as far as how our students are doing mathematically, and how do we

2007
03:33:48,640 --> 03:33:48,640
intervene appropriately. If a student needs additional help through like an mts structure?

2008
03:33:52,940 --> 03:33:52,940
because right now, our teachers there are going to struggle with that because it doesn't

2009
03:33:57,840 --> 03:33:57,840
align with the assessments that we have. And if I may add a little bit further context, the

2010
03:34:04,140 --> 03:34:04,140
cde has nwa map in previous legislation for what's called adopted academic progress

2011
03:34:10,940 --> 03:34:10,940
indicators, where charter schools based on their charter can have statistically

2012
03:34:15,607 --> 03:34:19,540
nationally normed valid data. And so the cde recognizes the validity of it as well. So we're looking forward to that. So jumping into it, we have our english language arts

2013
03:34:24,340 --> 03:34:24,340
achievement where ela achievement for students is moving in a positive direction

2014
03:34:28,640 --> 03:34:32,507
with the socioeconomically disadvantaged student group having already met the three year outcome and the three and the all student metric being approximately one percentage

2015
03:34:36,140 --> 03:34:36,140
point away from the goal, math achievement shows that there's still some work to be done to

2016
03:34:41,774 --> 03:34:45,240
address this metric, in alignment with the signature components of the charter. As doctor kim talked about. For our english learners, just like pylusd, english learners are a

2017
03:34:52,040 --> 03:34:52,040
focus group for oshkosh, and so we see mixed results, just like we saw with our district wide

2018
03:34:56,707 --> 03:34:56,707
data. The school climate indicators are all moving in a positive direction, with some

2019
03:35:01,774 --> 03:35:01,774
having already met the desired three year outcome. And again, you can see the misalignment

2020
03:35:06,007 --> 03:35:06,007
between the colors and the percentages based on our predictions. And our last data

2021
03:35:11,374 --> 03:35:15,007
slide for the evening shows that the chronic absenteeism rates at oshkosh are showing positive trends for all students and socioeconomically disadvantaged students, with

2022
03:35:19,040 --> 03:35:19,040
english learners again being an area of focus. So now I'd like to share about the meteor

2023
03:35:25,874 --> 03:35:25,874
expenditure and implementation data for our lcap actions, which again also include ocs.

2024
03:35:31,307 --> 03:35:31,307
so we have 139 actions in the pylusd lcap that have expenditures associated with

2025
03:35:36,340 --> 03:35:36,340
them. Ocs serves many of those actions, and these have been provided to the board in a

2026
03:35:41,774 --> 03:35:41,774
packet for your review expenditures. Progress for each action were grouped into four

2027
03:35:46,707 --> 03:35:50,340
categories, based on the percentage of the funds that have been expended as of december 12th. So right coming up towards finals week for for secondary at this at that point

2028
03:35:55,040 --> 03:35:58,940
in the school year, the majority of our actions were on track for full implementation with 30% or more of the budgeted actions expended and 13% of the actions were in

2029
03:36:05,040 --> 03:36:05,040
progress in that yellow category, with 1 to 29% of them expended, and then the other

2030
03:36:10,107 --> 03:36:10,107
two actions may not have any expenses associated with them, with the most common reasoning

2031
03:36:15,107 --> 03:36:15,107
being the time frame of the action, in that they will be january to june 2nd semester

2032
03:36:19,840 --> 03:36:19,840
expenses, which is the blue category. To take a moment to share out the two actions for

2033
03:36:26,474 --> 03:36:26,474
which we have not logged expenses, nor do we anticipate having any expenses. Action 1.7

2034
03:36:31,474 --> 03:36:31,474
is to provide a fifth year advanced program at el camino real high school. We won't have

2035
03:36:36,040 --> 03:36:39,974
any expenses because of the new alternative pathway to diploma courses that are available at our at our sites, so there aren't any students currently in the program since they are

2036
03:36:44,274 --> 03:36:44,274
able to access the diploma through that new pathway. And then action 7.36 regarding the

2037
03:36:49,207 --> 03:36:52,740
use of district funds to support our dual enrollment program. We won't be using these budgeted funds because we received the dual enrollment grants. And so we're going to

2038
03:36:56,840 --> 03:36:56,840
be spending those funds instead. So the next steps we will have our a number of input sessions

2039
03:37:05,574 --> 03:37:08,774
with stakeholders. Our first one is actually with the principals this thursday, as we develop the 2627 lcap, we will have our study session together, and we will then have the june

2040
03:37:15,907 --> 03:37:15,907
meetings that doctor pappalardo mentioned in terms of public hearing and adoption. So I just

2041
03:37:21,707 --> 03:37:21,707
wanted to close by thanking my colleagues in monitoring and implementing this plan, the

2042
03:37:26,174 --> 03:37:30,174
hard work and the dedication of our teachers that make all these actions possible, and the support of our parents and the determination of our students to continue to reach for

2043
03:37:34,107 --> 03:37:37,974
excellence. So at this point, I'd like to open to any preliminary feedback you have or topics for us to prepare for as we approach our april study session. I just would like some

2044
03:37:45,174 --> 03:37:45,174
more data on our population of homelessness. I think my one perspective for you all and and

2045
03:38:02,807 --> 03:38:02,807
I saw people's faces as we talked about 88 and 139 actions, and it's it's way too much.

2046
03:38:11,407 --> 03:38:11,407
sorry, I, I was trying to think of a way to say it nicely. It's way too much. You can't monitor

2047
03:38:17,140 --> 03:38:21,140
that many things effectively. And when we start thinking about our strategic plan and really honing in on the student experience and really looking at what makes a difference, the

2048
03:38:26,507 --> 03:38:26,507
categories are great. They're the right categories. It's just that when we bring you data, it

2049
03:38:31,574 --> 03:38:31,574
needs it. It needs to all make sense. It needs to be. Action items that we are confident

2050
03:38:40,040 --> 03:38:40,040
that we're seeing growth in. And it is as a result of the work that we're specifically

2051
03:38:45,107 --> 03:38:45,107
doing in that way. But 139 of them, I understand the state asking anything that we're

2052
03:38:50,574 --> 03:38:50,574
doing, we have to put it into a plan, but we're going to have to be really thoughtful about

2053
03:38:54,974 --> 03:38:54,974
how we do this moving forward, because people can't remember 139 things. It's overwhelming.

2054
03:39:01,074 --> 03:39:01,074
yes, I saw that in the review of academic functions. And and so that will be a discussion

2055
03:39:08,507 --> 03:39:08,507
for another night. All right. Thank you. Thank you, doctor gray. Okay. So now that moves

2056
03:39:18,440 --> 03:39:18,440
us into general functions am I right. Yes. And 22.1. Can I have a motion a second please.

2057
03:39:28,907 --> 03:39:28,907
oh I'd like to make a motion to adopt board policy 5140 1.7 the mental health second reading

2058
03:39:35,374 --> 03:39:35,374
second. Okay, I have a motion a second before I turn it over to mrs. Gray. Would you like to

2059
03:39:42,540 --> 03:39:42,540
say anything, doctor kim? No, I'm going to hand it straight to miss gray. Thank you. Okay,

2060
03:39:47,074 --> 03:39:47,074
so we're going to bring forward board policy 5141.7 for second reading tonight. So just as

2061
03:39:54,674 --> 03:39:54,674
it's our practice typically to bring items that the board wants time to review reflect or

2062
03:40:00,174 --> 03:40:00,174
add any additional questions. We're doing that tonight for this. At the previous meeting

2063
03:40:04,774 --> 03:40:04,774
there were no concerns raised with the policy itself. But there was a question regarding

2064
03:40:09,240 --> 03:40:09,240
the health curriculum which was provided at that time. So this second reading will give you an

2065
03:40:14,607 --> 03:40:14,607
opportunity should any other additional questions be asked. So just as a refresher about

2066
03:40:18,940 --> 03:40:18,940
this policy, it was developed in alignment with senate bill 153, which requires school

2067
03:40:23,574 --> 03:40:23,574
districts to support student mental health through prevention, awareness, early

2068
03:40:27,874 --> 03:40:31,874
identification, and access to appropriate services. And it provides clear guidance within our existing pill system for ongoing commitment to student wellness and our multi-tiered

2069
03:40:39,074 --> 03:40:39,074
system of support. Okay, so are there any questions or anything to bring up for second reading?

2070
03:40:46,207 --> 03:40:46,207
no. Well that's pretty easy. Yeah. Okay. So we'll take a vote. All those in favor I and

2071
03:40:54,474 --> 03:40:54,474
opposed motion carries five zero. Okay I'll make a motion to delete board policy 5145.13

2072
03:41:05,340 --> 03:41:05,340
student immigration status. Second. Okay. We have a motion and a second. And am I turning

2073
03:41:13,007 --> 03:41:13,007
it over to just you? Okay. Doctor kim, I think this is just deleting the policy

2074
03:41:19,474 --> 03:41:19,474
because everything that is applicable within this policy will now be found within policy

2075
03:41:25,874 --> 03:41:25,874
1445. Okay. Any other comments. All right. I compared the two. They it was all in there. So

2076
03:41:35,974 --> 03:41:35,974
we're good to go. Perfect okay. So all those in favor. Aye. Opposed. Motion carries five

2077
03:41:44,274 --> 03:41:44,274
zero. Next 120 2.4 please I'll make a motion to delete board policy 5114.1 pupil exclusion.

2078
03:41:55,840 --> 03:41:55,840
second. That's fast okay. Motion by mrs. Anderson, second by mr. Frazier. And doctor kim,

2079
03:42:02,174 --> 03:42:02,174
would you like to. This was one of those that I was talking about earlier. That's from

2080
03:42:07,474 --> 03:42:07,474
about 1994 or something somewhere in that time frame. And it's got some pretty

2081
03:42:11,874 --> 03:42:11,874
appalling language about how we exclude students from the classroom. Anything and

2082
03:42:16,240 --> 03:42:16,240
everything that would be applicable by law will be found in a suspension and expulsion

2083
03:42:21,240 --> 03:42:21,240
policy. So not only is it no longer appropriate, anything that we would need is in a

2084
03:42:28,740 --> 03:42:28,740
different policy at this point in time. Keep cleaning it up, clean it up. We got a lot to do.

2085
03:42:37,140 --> 03:42:37,140
okay. All those in favor? I opposed seeing none. Motion carries five zero. Okay, I'll

2086
03:42:47,574 --> 03:42:47,574
make a motion to revise. Revise board policy. 9323. Agenda meeting materials first.

2087
03:42:53,340 --> 03:42:53,340
reading, second motion by mrs. Anderson. Second by mrs. Quintero. This time, doctor kim,

2088
03:43:00,274 --> 03:43:00,274
do you have any comments you got at the last time? I'm being fair. I'll just point out the

2089
03:43:06,374 --> 03:43:06,374
the changes that are being proposed in the very beginning. There's just a statement about

2090
03:43:11,007 --> 03:43:14,407
our board superintendent working agreement that we worked on this evening in our study session, and that we will review it annually. It's a best practice. In order to do that.

2091
03:43:19,607 --> 03:43:19,607
there is language in there that speaks to the superintendent, board president, accompanied by

2092
03:43:23,874 --> 03:43:23,874
one additional board member on a rotational basis. In talking with all of you, I've gotten

2093
03:43:29,640 --> 03:43:29,640
pretty well consensus that this hasn't been a common practice. And so I am proposing striking

2094
03:43:35,274 --> 03:43:35,274
that because we're not following that within the bylaw, and then just explicit language

2095
03:43:40,507 --> 03:43:44,107
that we talked about in terms of the superintendent will confer with board president to determine if any request is made under the purview of the board. If not, it can be denied,

2096
03:43:48,640 --> 03:43:48,640
because that's what it states in the brown act. And then from there, it's not in here. But I

2097
03:43:54,540 --> 03:43:54,540
talked about practice, future practice to bring to you at the very end of each board meeting,

2098
03:44:01,040 --> 03:44:01,040
a upcoming items for the next board agenda, which is a best practice. I didn't write it in

2099
03:44:06,040 --> 03:44:06,040
here. We can in a future reading if you want it explicitly stated, but it is

2100
03:44:11,107 --> 03:44:11,107
something I'm proposing as a part of best practice in terms of agenda izing. Yeah. You

2101
03:44:16,140 --> 03:44:16,140
mentioned at our study session earlier that you were going to bring a full kind of look at

2102
03:44:21,874 --> 03:44:21,874
annually, look at the calendar, and then so we'll be front loaded on the upcoming months.

2103
03:44:26,607 --> 03:44:26,607
so I think that would be great. I don't necessarily know if we need to add it and then bring

2104
03:44:32,374 --> 03:44:32,374
it back, especially since we're not quite doing it now. So maybe we well, in the first

2105
03:44:37,240 --> 03:44:37,240
sentence it referenced the agreement. So I don't think it matters. That's true. Thank you.

2106
03:44:43,774 --> 03:44:43,774
all right. Any other. Yes. Mrs. Anderson. Yeah. I just wanted to point out that in this.

2107
03:44:53,840 --> 03:44:53,840
policy that, you know, you have to submit something ten days before the meeting, and it's

2108
03:44:58,240 --> 03:44:58,240
for community members and board members, but there's no guarantee that it will be on

2109
03:45:03,540 --> 03:45:03,540
the next agenda. That applies for trustees and community members as well. And it was

2110
03:45:10,707 --> 03:45:10,707
just interesting because I was looking at agenda item that I got denied on, and I thought it

2111
03:45:17,307 --> 03:45:17,307
was interesting that doctor cherniss denied it, saying, allow time to study this and

2112
03:45:23,440 --> 03:45:23,440
make their recommendations. So we just because it's not on the next agenda does not make it a

2113
03:45:32,674 --> 03:45:32,674
brown act violation or policy violation. It is giving them time. It helps them look at the

2114
03:45:42,040 --> 03:45:42,040
meeting and how long it's going to be and whether it's appropriate. So I just wanted

2115
03:45:46,840 --> 03:45:46,840
to point that out and I'm good with the changes. You also can't pull the board. You can't

2116
03:45:51,440 --> 03:45:55,440
ask three board members if they want something on the agenda that's against the brown act. So that's why you ran into that issue. And serena went and asked three board members, and

2117
03:45:59,807 --> 03:45:59,807
you guys all said no. So that was where the violation happened. Just pointing that

2118
03:46:04,340 --> 03:46:04,340
out. I don't necessarily know that that's a violation because it wasn't a discussion. It was

2119
03:46:11,307 --> 03:46:11,307
a do we bring it? And so I and that's part of that's it's to discuss it. It doesn't have to

2120
03:46:17,940 --> 03:46:17,940
do with and and the reason why it was denied was because we had a long meeting that month

2121
03:46:24,574 --> 03:46:24,574
and it was on. Well, that's what I was told. That meeting that you wanted it on went to

2122
03:46:33,207 --> 03:46:33,207
1130 at night. So I think it was appropriate to move it back. And that was my decision. I

2123
03:46:39,840 --> 03:46:39,840
don't know what musashino talked. It would affect his business. And he said he talked

2124
03:46:44,007 --> 03:46:44,007
to three of the board members and none of you wanted it on. But if I remember correctly,

2125
03:46:48,240 --> 03:46:52,240
the district attorney now, if I remember correctly, it was denied by the district attorney. It was not founded. Correct? Correct. Otherwise we would have received a letter,

2126
03:46:56,674 --> 03:46:56,674
actually, because we put it on the next board agenda. It's about, you know, you get a

2127
03:47:00,707 --> 03:47:00,707
letter saying you violated it with the cure. It's not that just because you move it to the

2128
03:47:04,840 --> 03:47:04,840
next meeting doesn't mean it's a and I never denied it. I said, we just can't do it. This

2129
03:47:09,807 --> 03:47:09,807
meeting, just like the threat saying that that your resolution wasn't put on this,

2130
03:47:13,840 --> 03:47:17,840
this agenda and that we violated the brown act, the agenda wasn't even out yet. So there's a lot of misinformation on social media. So. Yes, I think everybody knows what I'm

2131
03:47:28,307 --> 03:47:28,307
talking about. So we're going to add this in here. Does anybody have any other comments

2132
03:47:34,307 --> 03:47:34,307
before we call for a vote. Thank you okay I do I do have one other thing. Would it be

2133
03:47:40,907 --> 03:47:40,907
prudent of us to have it stated that if because I don't think it calls it out anymore, we

2134
03:47:48,507 --> 03:47:48,507
took out the there's another board member coming in rotation. If there is another board

2135
03:47:52,774 --> 03:47:52,774
member that would like to be involved in the agenda planning, I think that's where you go to

2136
03:47:57,974 --> 03:47:57,974
two, two, one and we do have two, two ones. It doesn't prohibit it. It just if it's

2137
03:48:03,907 --> 03:48:07,907
stated in the bylaws that you're going to do it and you don't do it, then you're in violation of your bylaws. If you choose to bring somebody in. It's not something that we're

2138
03:48:12,007 --> 03:48:12,007
committing to. We do every time. So this just because it's not in doesn't mean it can't happen,

2139
03:48:16,907 --> 03:48:16,907
but because it was called out saying this was our practice and we're not doing it. That's

2140
03:48:21,040 --> 03:48:21,040
why it's a problem. That's why. That's why. Just making sure that was still possible. Thank

2141
03:48:25,107 --> 03:48:25,107
you. Yeah. I have a question then to you about this because we're talking about the ten

2142
03:48:29,740 --> 03:48:29,740
days. So when you came on december 13th, carry of 2024 and you told us he was

2143
03:48:37,740 --> 03:48:41,007
insubordinate and you charged him with insubordination because he didn't put a change of a law firm on the agenda. How is that any different from me putting it out ten days? I

2144
03:48:47,040 --> 03:48:47,040
have the email, so I'm just I'm just curious because we're going to start talking about

2145
03:48:51,107 --> 03:48:51,107
the ten days and it's okay for something not to go on the agenda. But then when something

2146
03:48:55,307 --> 03:48:59,174
that you want on the agenda, you accuse a superintendent of insubordination. Well, if it's under our purview and if it's a request, then that should come forward and then. Okay, but

2147
03:49:04,340 --> 03:49:04,340
it's not within the ten days, and yours was not within the ten days. So you told us he was

2148
03:49:09,374 --> 03:49:09,374
insubordinate for not putting it on. So which is it? Is it a board member can put it on

2149
03:49:13,540 --> 03:49:13,540
whenever they want, if it's under the purview or if it's just certain board, it actually

2150
03:49:17,707 --> 03:49:17,707
can be put on. But even within that ten days. So if it's important that is that can

2151
03:49:23,774 --> 03:49:23,774
happen. And it's I don't remember the actual number or the actual. It was december

2152
03:49:29,407 --> 03:49:29,407
13th. We were four days from a meeting. Well, I don't remember the actual right. The request

2153
03:49:34,940 --> 03:49:34,940
that I was asking him to put on, you were asking him to put todd robbins on as the board

2154
03:49:39,974 --> 03:49:43,874
attorney four days before the previous board meeting, and when he said were not within the ten days we can put him on the january agenda. You told him he was insubordinate and

2155
03:49:48,740 --> 03:49:52,607
you charged him with insubordination. Well, I don't know about charging him with insubordination. That's not something that I can do, but I can make a statement. I don't,

2156
03:49:57,240 --> 03:49:57,240
I don't. I'll show you the I don't put it on social media. Oh, just send it to me because

2157
03:50:02,474 --> 03:50:02,474
I don't go on social media and you put it on your own page that I don't think it was for a

2158
03:50:08,807 --> 03:50:08,807
for todd robbins, specifically todd robbins. I would have not asked for specific todd robbins

2159
03:50:13,507 --> 03:50:13,507
because the contract was attached. Todd robbins contract? Yes. It was. All I'm saying is

2160
03:50:18,574 --> 03:50:18,574
consistency here. That's what I'm saying. You can't sit here and say, oh, ten days purview,

2161
03:50:22,607 --> 03:50:22,607
all these things and but but when in the past you have done differently. So it's either for

2162
03:50:28,607 --> 03:50:28,607
all five or it's for none of us. I'm just asking for some consistency. Okay. So all those

2163
03:50:37,340 --> 03:50:37,340
in favor I, I and opposed motion carries five zero. Okay. Moving to ed services 23.1. If

2164
03:50:50,340 --> 03:50:50,340
I could have. A motion first I make a motion to approve resolution 2524 to revise the

2165
03:50:58,307 --> 03:50:58,307
funding allocations for the general child care and development program for the

2166
03:51:05,474 --> 03:51:05,474
2526 school year. Second okay, first by mrs. Anderson, second by mrs. Quintero. Doctor kim,

2167
03:51:10,440 --> 03:51:10,440
do you have any comments? No, not for this one. Okay. Anybody else have any comments? Nope.

2168
03:51:18,140 --> 03:51:18,140
okay. With that, we'll take a vote. All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries five zero. Okay.

2169
03:51:24,340 --> 03:51:24,340
and that brings us now to board report. We are at 10:00. So if you want to I'm recommending

2170
03:51:32,374 --> 03:51:32,374
maybe we consider bumping this to the next time or that's a good for yes. No. Yeah. Are we

2171
03:51:40,474 --> 03:51:40,474
going to just do speed. But whatever. If it's okay to bump it, that would be great. Just

2172
03:51:46,174 --> 03:51:46,174
to make it a shorter meeting since we're pushing we're past 10:00 now. That would be great.

2173
03:51:51,574 --> 03:51:51,574
okay, I will vote on that. I'll make a motion. I don't think we need a motion on that, but we

2174
03:51:57,374 --> 03:51:57,374
do need a motion to adjourn before we make a motion we talked about there was somebody

2175
03:52:06,507 --> 03:52:06,507
we were going to adjourn in memory of, and I. Helen. Yeah? Would you like to maybe and I

2176
03:52:16,374 --> 03:52:16,374
or maybe we could bring that back the next time. So it's not just off the cuff. I think that

2177
03:52:21,374 --> 03:52:21,374
would be good. Perfect. She deserves a she deserves. Yes. Full respect. So does my motion

2178
03:52:26,840 --> 03:52:26,840
adjourn? Still stand? Yes. Your motion still stands. Second motion to adjourn by mrs.

2179
03:52:32,974 --> 03:52:32,974
blades and second by mr. Frazier. All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries five zero.

2180
03:52:38,374 --> 03:52:38,374
we.
