July 31st the council's the Chancellor's order went into effect and on August 2nd we receiv received the final executed order so that is the timeline from since March 26 up to today
why we have now voted on these two applicants and also received a new applicant at and the council has been in stalemate since March 26 where all these interventions we said face help us we
threw in the white flag we surrender we need help they intervene three times the council still couldn't come to terms so the Chancellor's order is now in effect and because of that we now have our face
Representatives here as trustees to help us vote in these new applicants because of um disagreements biases or what have you of why we couldn't have these two applicants in this on our Council for
the year of 2023 into 2025 we will now move on next on our agenda we will now interview the new applicant and G we have her application here and the
council can now ask questions in regards to why would she want to be a member on CC yes thank you so does the council have any questions
that ask Angie Mr sua um what's your experience and um interpreter what's your experience and why did you choose this Council to serve and how can you benefit this Council
this is the first time that I've come I have three children I to learn when I came here I needed help and nobody helped me so I want to learn how to help other people in my community and especially to
help so what skills do you bring to this District the one representative in my school I was reelected to a second term this year and uh after having learned a lot in my first year and I prepared to uh enthusiastic learn
in I have some question um being on the PTA at 340 what did you experience or what did you participate in being on the
PTA um I participated in all the workshops that were or organized by the parent Bo I was a very vigorous leas between the parents of the other children uh that that my children know uh to share
information from the meetings and to encourage remind them of upcoming meetings and encourage them to attend meetings and uh make them aware of the importance of attending meetings because they work and they have children and it's very hard for them to work that into their schedule so when they
couldn't make it I would share information with them but I made every effort uh to see that they could make it if they possibly they see I told them that it's very important that your children have a voice in the school and how are they going to have a voice if you don't speak to
so you know um when the PCA meetings are held monthly yes uh we meet once a month by Zoom okay and so you know what day it's the second Tuesday of every month at any other
questions um basically answer is kind of so she just answer she only speak to the parents that have children know what about the parents that children don't know other parents in the school to encourage to go to the [Music]
[Music] [Music] yes I do when I show up at work at school to drop off my kids I always try to speak to whoever is in the hallway whether or not I know that to in myself to introduce uh uh them to the uh
parents the PTA and explain to them when meetings are held and why it's very important for them to and also to make them aware when the next meeting is one more question being that we that school 340 is a is in a diverse neighborhood what
is her goal as a council member to help more than like the whole Community more children in the district well is the a I try to make contact with everybody even though I don't speak English I use
uh Google translate uh to try to talk to people who don't share my language I I don't up my contact just I have have a few questions yes um on your application your statement indicates that you're on a PCA
a parent teacher Association you're the president and your title one um it's a little confusing as to are you on both are you one on the other um I have I have three questions it's like three parts I allow the translator
to translate uh first question is how do you know about Community Education because I was a volunteer when you came to our school last year I I served the C and I tried to to learn what I could at that time asking for information
about your activities and I H kept up on your activities because I am trying to become increasingly involved in my children's education and that's how I learned that there were vacancies um question two and it relates
to CC uh what is your understanding of a Community Education Council that is a higher level than the school level um since we serve the dist I'm sorry The Interpreter doesn't understand the question what is her what is her
understanding of communication councils uh which is a very different level uh compared to a school level at of so what is the difference well what's her understanding of what what our for I have to be sincere I've only attended
three these meetings so I'm not going to pretend that I'm an expert and what goes on here all I can tell you is that uh I know that your work here is very important and that you handle a lot of issues that we don't see at the school level and I'm prepared to enthusiastically learn all I
can thank you and just the last question as we go into the new school here what focus on policy would you want support impa on education here in
District 10 or in New York City system is I'm sorry I um so policy meaning something that you could enforce of change in the education World in this neighborhood in this
community so is there something she would like to bring to the I I think I'd like to listen and learn before I way in with my priorities so that I can see through experience uh what the the the greatest needs are in
the before I weigh in thank you so much council members we have interviewed Angie theusa if anybody has any more questions if not we will move forward with the voting of
the app of the yes [Music] okay and you were talking [Music] about what do you what do you think that you you get
community for we have learned a lot on the workshops that we have been doing and the community the community was U supporting us on on the way that's it are we
done okay um As an interpreter something and translated everything so I'm going to mention a few things um I'm gonna
say um one thing that she mentioned is she has no experience right um and is about her children in her school um she's here to learn and the focus is the school her
school and her community [Music] thank you thank you we going to now move forward in our second part of our agenda and that would be the voting of the applicants we're going to start start from the oldest
moving forward to the newest one um one of our applicants is online that's Maria bobos she's online she's already stated why she wants to be on the council she has um several years of experience
working um on the council prior to this year's Council and we're just going to move forward on her vote and we're going to do a roll call vote before we do the actual vote for Maria Vos okay Emma

yes um and also I just want to remind the council that they did receive an order from the chancellor vacancy that order um by the 31st of July which has pass which is why now we have been to
support so if you would like to redo the vote the order says you fill the vacancy the candidates are eligible and they are board trustees and you have majority that's five so the trustees can only vote with a majority of members want a reference the V
VY is not attached to a particular number correct your vacancies are over 60 days right and it's not attached to a particular number of the members sitting on the council with the two members that were just voted in that brings us up to
what 10 does that suffice the Mandate so or are you saying we have have to vote on all the app so what happens now is your last candidate who was Angie correct right yes so you have just voted in two
candidates one person is online who we cannot spare or she cannot complet her o buta yeah yes you can be we can take her outside get the not we have notary right here and then she comes back and then you vote for the third time okay okay so

interpret chair may I be recognize yes um miss estria you have seven votes and you have been deared to seat under the council correct correct can you be escorted by face so you canete your office sear so that you can return a
voting of than so now that miss estria is now she's considered a member of the council she's been voted on um I don't know Maria can hear me Maria has also voted on on the council correct however she's not part of decision making in the council
because she's not of office correct so she can listen participate but not in decisions correct okay so I don't want you to continue while a member who's now seated will miss what you're saying so it's okay wait to return is that fair
that's fair so pause likee bre yes have a break right now we gonna have a break five minute break thank you m thank you e
e e e e fore e e e e e

could table this for our next calendar and business meeting on August 27th yes yes we have a we have time to to f the SE [Music] [Music]
so it seems like we don't have dominion over our own activities that we're not in charge of filling these seeds [Music] really and and I think we have to we have to uh spend more time we we
attended the workshops and I think we have to spend a little more time uh rereading the bylaws and the manuals and seeing what our obligations are as a as a council we shouldn't be in such disagreement I don't think we should make such a big deal out of Angie's lack
of experience when she has such a strong uh desire to learn and participate and enthusiastically she has PTA experience she has Title One experience she she's dedicated she doesn't you shouldn't need
to have a PhD to participate in this yeah it makes me sad to see the negativity I I would also like to comment um as inter president of cc10 I had absolute no experience how to run this
and to give this new applicant not a chance to try I think it's kind of against what we kind of stand for our our values I know we're not perfect and I know we trying to choose the best but
we can't not know who the best is unless they have the experience and it's only a few more months into the year what harm would it do if Angie is on here we've been through rougher stuff than this and I've been through rougher stuff on
district 10 dealing with the insecurities and the disappointments and the ups and downs and I still stuck it out I'm still here I'm with y'all for us to get an executed Chancellor's order order to have face here which has I
don't think has ever happened so I think we owe it to our community if we're going to move forward let's just move forward even if we can't agree let's agree to disagree let's just move forward let's show that we are able to
be United to push the policies to push whatever we got to do in the community let's lay that all aside that's not going to move us any forward or any faster to helping my child that's in District 75 or your child that's in the
school in District 10 to do anything if we continue to be in a split do we need to do another Roo vote again do anybody have any more comments or do we need to do another Roo
vote can we do another Rollo before the 8 o00 hour but we already over oh you did okay so we're going to do another roll call v um put all your disagreements aside we
got the Chancellor's order um if you don't agree or things happen as we already know you know the law if a member is not doing what they supposed to do you face is here you go to face you say face listen something is
is not happening this council member is not doing what they and they will step in and give us guidance on what to do there but we have but a little bit of more months of the year and then we start all over again and who knows if you're going to be S oh me sitting here
again in the next year so we're gonna doot vote again for Angie theusa Emma Al very good Michelle ha yes Berita Parsons
yes Amy Vasquez Michelle H I'm sorry I don't want to be difficult [Music] um are you willing to do more diversity
not only Spanish people and English people but I mean like Asians ands and Africans are you willing to channel likeus neighborhood yes I I already participate in workshops

regardless of what they come Michelle H yes and then I I you have a question yeah um I know each and every one of us are
not here hopefully not here um here for a title or a position but here as parents of district 10 as a parent what is the one challenge you may
have in the system for your children education or for your community I'm sorry I didn't get the last as a parents what is the one challenge you may have as a uh for your children or for the community that you see that you
represent [Music] um so uh I'm the mother of two special education children and in that capacity my biggest challenge is in finding out the information about how to help them resources and also finding other parents
in similar situations so that we can exchange information and and in general just expand our pool of of of of of knowledge thank you yes
yes we have one two three four five five six yeses and face yes yes so we have me for has been passed seven yeses

grinding I'm I don't know yeah and I'm not looking for it to take a vacation um so those are what's upcoming and that's just August I didn't even touch September as yet or I didn't even touch
the upcoming events that we might do this year I know the um emergency was fire of course of that was just the basis and the tip of the iceberg that cc10 is doing this year and we we doing
some major moves but I needan major moves with everybody not with two or three or four of them I need everybody on the council working together hand in hand and the more we do it together the more
cohesive or like a movement organism breathing and moving together and it starts resounding upon everybody everybody's going to ask who is cct1 what are we doing I don't want to be novellas all the time I don't like
that no I don't want to be your reality show that you pop in every once in a while just to get drama and gossip we doing work we got resolutions to do we have a lot of policies that we have to reform and I want us to do that
together and in all hearts and Minds as any more comments yes the chat yes yeah I'd like to ask the trustop thean yeah because we have to do reports on the different schools and it would be very
helpful yeah we should okay um just to answer that question I have since earlier than this year a copy of the BOS in espanol I don't have those with me but I have
always brought the bylaws with me I brought the bylaws with me I have brought the manual with me and I also have excerpts of Education law 2590 I always have that with me on person all the time but if you want a copy I
will that to you if I could get a copy in Spanish a hard copy it would be very helpful we have now in person um Maria I um but I wanted to mention that the interpretation um we're still waiting
for the translated buers for Bangla Arabic um for bang and Arabic we have the Spanish and English correct so they have't s send out I'll drop the link in the chat now and if we could get confirmation um the trustees don't have any to
do so we have to reach back out to whoever yes and I have I SP to our contact in regards to that and I haven't got a response that so the thing is when folks register on the link that I'm going to put in the option for langues
be there I don't want F discour so that's why I was put it in we could put it for now I will let's just state that the flyers for the town hall will be updated where Arabic and bang on there but for right now the
translations are only for Spanish bang and I think I think that's it yes okay very good any more comments it is now clear thank you everyone thank you
our virtual can you just say on the record that there is still one vacant seat on the council we are taking we need person no you have two
L one you have two L parents on your Council already yeah but who's representing L you'll decide that at your next meeting Council doesn't get to decide so but what we can do is whoever is El eligible we have to look at the number
of apply the campaign and so they look at there's a way that they SE seat so those of you who have children that are receiving English as
an ex the language um Services then [Music] okay so then you would need I guess an official is anyone else on the council have a student a child that is receiving uh ESL
enl services students they have to be a senior and they are appointed by the superintendent they're interviewed by superintendent or her team and they're appointed once that's fed then the superintendent simply lets you know student X student Z
Ser on the counil that superintendent appointment like presid right um students serve while they in the senior year and then they leave so they're not a two year student
does that make sense one year and super um we should be modeling the behavior students I would just give I have students you may face members May public may you don't want
your children to just have a seat and be tokenized in a way that you're just filling a seat you should be modeling what civic duty looks like what does that shape you know shap and like student when they take
on right I say be very aware when you have students in the place they not votee with you they're not voting you can reimburse student for car they can also get or your Wii if they
need to join the meeting virtually or they have to do any of that so you can allocate money in your budget to do that questions just little advice thank you thank you thank you so
much yes Amy um I just want to say okay what time I got to record um it's 819 actually actually accomplish accomplish successfully what we needed to do for and I want to say each
everyone here at the table like participated intended and present I do want to be officially on point that even though earlier when we opened the meting meeting and two members of the council
were excused but with no reasoning why they can't participate by myself everybody else on the coun but myself I would say here because they actually did ask for special meeting and they didn't show
up and they didn't show up for no reason and that's to me doesn't call Unity because we all fight our be on this horrible weather and um I just wanted to be on record in the minutes for this day on special meeting putting three members
on the cast for vacancies that they were un excused because it should not have been taken the trustees from face the Chancellor's office to come and actually make this happen and it actually happened thaning to Angie and Maria
actually being here and taking their o and taking this seriously even though they may not have what we all agree on but I think this year this school year is g to be a good year because we're all on part um today
and thank you so much that that is a excellent comment that thatby clarified on the record that those two council members Erica Gonzalez and Arena DZ they did request it I did
print out special request I received five special request meetings and they specifically mentioned that they wanted the special meeting unfortunately during the check-in arica Gonzalez did St that
she couldn't be here and at the 11:00 hour quote unquote um Arena Deon said she couldn't make it this evening and with no reasoning and this is why there's conflict and why
we bu heads and why we do pettiness is because someone starts this chaining events and the domino effect and I just thank you am council member Amy for pointing that out and I hope that we understand the seriousness of why we are
here on the council if we all making the sacrifice to be out here and hopefully that would be an example for when they do see that we voted on these members that we're serious we are not playing games this year I'm from the B and I'm
I'm I'm a strong advocate for the Bronx I've been here 45 years I don't play games and I I see a game when I see it I know it's fade when I see it fade and I don't play those games and I was just saying that for the record I digress it
is now 8:22 thank you everybody motion for the meeting to and 0 seconds thank [Music] you hopefully you won't be coming back
