to speak to the res I will Jessica Savage will speak to the resolution so I think I'm on zoom and I think I'm [Music] talking okay this
okay thank you uh good evening everyone I'm presenting on resolution 258 which is called resolution on mandating designated time for collaboration among Educators to promote inclusive learning for students with
disabilities uh we we know that in order to do inclusion work most effectively and to enhance the educational outcomes for our students with disabilities that our school need to do a better job supporting our special education Educators and staff um New York City
Public Schools recently undertaken new efforts to do this with the creation of the division of inclusive and accessible learning and while this new initi stage opportun for advancing work our
districts around specifics for how some of this work can get carried out so this resolution is really just discussing two specific points um the first involves ensuring that special education Educators actually have time they to
collaborate with each other to evaluate students and write evaluations within schools and we know that pres frequently does not happen even though it should um and that reports are frequently not provided students as they're supposed to
be the second issue is with regards to uh how beneficial it would be for IEP teams to learn and work across schools with each other to share best practices to support inclusive learning and so we
asked foric we superintendent mire one instruct all principles toate time for their team to meet monthly at a minimum schools are priori Andor their
team ability student progress reviews of course what's supposed to so our second is that M thato principl provance reports to The Institute office that such meetings have occurred or some
other collaborative dedicated time the third is that anual Summit on inclusion start being held this coming school year something that will be tailored specifically for education
educator similar to the principal Summit um something that would that would really allow for this connection be made and PR to be shared ways priorization and time for
educators thank you thank you Jessica uh before we go to the next topic I one bit of housekeeping I apologize we did not do the roll call for the for the work for the calendar meeting uh given that we did not elect the new secretary I
will do the roll call uh PR yeah Alice Bri here Alis and bow Alison Bowen here danela egov is abent Gavin Hy Charles love is Gavin Hy is here
Charles love is absent sonal Patel here son Patel is here Jessica Savage here Jessica Savage is here Sarah sh eron Sarah to arberg is absent Saina sarin Saina sarin is here Leonard silver leard
Silverman is here Craig slutman is here and we have a form the next item on the agenda is the first public speaker session can Victor can you give us the this thing if anybody hasn't signed up yet please see Victor our administrative assistant and
he will get you on the list as a reminder everybody will have each person will have two minutes to speak and uh I guess I will run the session do you you want to run the session so PR is going to run the session tonight thank you everyone for coming
and I apologize that I was late today driving in so first we have Lupe herand and we will set up the timer my not working very well I think it's better here okay and I will have a
timer here as well I think we'll stick to that annoying sound that we had last time so it works there are just so everyone's aware for the first session we have walk out yeah come back come back there are
eight l l come back L okay and next I just want to make sure I say this elen Elena Daniels Elena Daniels please [Music] [Music] address and thank you in your
role [Music] um over the last couple months um as so they can hear you they can't hear me okay um in the clear on the police clearing out student protesters felt both and it
also New York City budget and you can hear me online um and basically the question is [Music] like in what ways and why is that in what ways you know the cops are not
great on the cops are dangerous on college campuses and the kids um Craig I'm hoping that if your new role as president that is not on your agenda to in the future um basically I want us to think about like how does what
per how systems that are set up you know preventing who gets to talk who doesn't get to talk who gets to run who doesn't as someone who trans and who's not a parent but cares a lot about kids um I'm allowed to run through the school board and many trans women particularly you
know can't have kids can't run and can't support our kids in the ways that we would like to um and B get a question about thinking about free speech and it's a question of like is there should be free speech for hate speech and or is the right to is there a right to fre and
start I heard a bunch of the meeting today about us being respectful I've also heard every c meeting for the last couple months heard myself called the Bale heard myself called the gromer myself and you know all James repeatedly and so I think it's a question of how
are we working together how are we caring for all our kids and so I want to end with to our Council and particularly Craig um please resolution 248 um thank you very much any on there at all
next we have Megan Madison thank you and right after that would be JZ Adera JZ I can switch I think thank you so I will let I better
I'll let you know when your time begins and it begins now oh sorry sorry so we're I didn't PR [Music] yet thank you pretty closer closer to there we
go yes that to I I've been think about Tri and the idea that all children including your Tri is to feel safe to be themselves at school
and your child all children trans deserve so much they deserve to feel cated all of the parts of them and books are one way Environ where all feel to be
celebrated today I brought hair it's a sweet story about a dad and a daughter who both happen to be sick it could be used to teach well liter but also to open up important conversations about religious diversity
with anti-Semitism islamophobia and white Christian nationalism On The Rise it is very important that we proactively support this kind of anti-bias education in our Public Schools a recent report published by the SI Coalition found that
77% of six where stars or CS reported being bullied at least once that's not okay 85 Trans kids say they don't at school that's not
okay me and El went the city counciling and learned from doe officials that bias-based bullying is on the rise in our schools while funding for restorative justice is getting cut that's not okay you might
but it's also a great book to talk about gender with young children in the book The Father braids his daughter's hair and dances with her in the living room after school these are very healthy common and loving activities but they're not often children's literature which can
perpetuate very limiting stereotypes about fatherhood and family structures i' guess that there are even fewer representations of trans fatherhood trans Parenthood or trans people in general and we don't even have the debt data to back that up so I'll by saying
um if you want to work together to support the city council's resolution 95 which would actually invest money in developing a religious literacy curriculum we want to reach out and we want to partner and make that cont thank you is everyone else muted here so saying this correctly
menz welcome time starts nower keep and [Music] [Music] [Music] this past year and we
learn after being disenrolled how private facilities will beali I wouldest private meeting with the C2 I'm happy to leave my contact information thank you ma' you want to leave cont the previous
speaker' sorry if you nice gentleman over there if you can leave your your information that would be great okay great she wanted to see see thank you uh
we can go back to we can go back to First oh the first so all right Lupe herand please hello can you hear me yes thank you for having
speaking last year this time this Council opened up with not allowing the public to speak and I think that's pretty disingenuous just as look public speaks I recalled actually last meeting many of you not paying ATT to the public as they come out to their
concerns and there was even a motion that was put forth for you guys to give us our undivided attention and I want to thank those of you that are actually taking the time to do that um what we've been hearing this summer suar Rising just began I think I spoke to some of you already we've been talking to many
families about the school's AC's not working during our summer Rising so I'd like for D2 to please implore and find out why even this particular school that we are currently in we are sweltering and we know that the kids are usually in
the gune and uh Andor outside and probably really really really hot um also want to address our special education students because you do represent even if you don't have one um many of our students currently have not
received services and even for those are compensatory Services over over the summer there's been a delay trying to get those services rendered so I implore you thank you for the resolution that you guys pass and I'm looking forward for you guys passing this current one
where it gives our UC the opportunity to collaborate with other schools that will help in making sure that our students are getting and receiving their mandate services so thank you thank you so much next we have Alan followed by Jim
and Nick so please be ready but Alan closer to the mic you hear me you hear me now hello closer to your around sorry should we so thank you everybody for allowing
to speak and I wanted to thank you all great parents for serving I think we should switch mic here this wine is good so that [Music] over sorry about that all right you can
just turn that thank you for I want to thank you all my parents for serving with because I know you all wrong with here it was a very hot day um sorry so uh I I listen to everybody and thank
you everybody [Music] for uh I don't know too much about it but I it seems to me that the only thing it said was that um uh it's like form a committee to look into Trans on SCH fors and it seems to me that maybe I've
heard a lot of anger regarding the dis place a basic all I said was for I believe what not and to move on and then done so all I wanted to say was
I think we should all as parents as Educators try to try to do what's best New York City as I think all want biological girls biological boys and trans so I
[Music] J Commandments fa [Music] inity as a result you have guidelines that black and appear appear politically motivated those who support the new
guidelines should be directly their frustration at the they should be should be supporting for resolution we can have guelin [Music] here come on up all right
thank you all right I just let me know when my time starts can you hear me all right your time starts now okay um as someone who is born and raised in New
York City and went to New York City uh the funded schools my entire life I can just attest to how life saving Public libr public libraries and school librarians have been to my life and just to the world as a non-binary trans
person who has a n trans sibling who is also in New York City Public Schools I can attest to the importance ofing teach and learning and as someone who is mistreated in schools for undiagnosed behavioral disabilities I say that one of the most important
things to make sure that children don't face abuse either at home or at school is inclusive and Collaborative Learning with experts dedicated time and that children who have behavioral difficulties are allowed to meet and get diagnosed properly with the par
professional and guidance counselors that they have access to and to increase funding for people who understand these issues because I've experienced a lot with this in New York City Public Schools even from people trying their best and it really disheartens me so I
am coming out to support a resolution to fund public librar uh mandated certified Librarians in every New York City public school as well as to create a more inclusive learning environment to prevent abuse both at home and at schools as someone who has experienced a
lot of emotional abuse neglect and horrible punishment not in schools by home uh thank you for listening my time starts now hi my name is Mo my pronouns are therapist out in
clear adult who I had mentioned in Main have been parents or teachers or former students I was really dishearted and disappointed in the last meeting the escalation
like at this meeting today in white a lot of the escalation came and I know that they're deeded but you still have some folks on here who have been neutral their moms for Liberty that are still in the board meeting you can tell in the meeting when it turned is when those
kids walked out crying and at what point that did was when GS against rumors spoke that hateful if you can imagine in a meeting have the impact on those kids imagine what it has school year long on the mass
majority of them their friends their allies their families there's rle effects to this I hope those kids walk away from that night remembering the Sea of white it makes me want to cry and not the hateful report there were so many people claiming to be experts in the
room that night People Who mod brought in so they were Physicians former athletes who have because of transp and I'm glad they because trans collaborate with you but the real
night were those kids they're the only on who they are and what they need and they were not heard that it was really sad and so I hope
that you continue to listen you had an opportunity that evening to resend the resolation and I hope tonight you do as well thank you [Music] concern actually the trans policy
student 2014 before I even started teing in the and toer any verification [Music] some of you you know I like to sway [Music]
you system want do you want in what kind of teachers do you want what kind of students you want because first off again we've had the trans student policy since like 2014 have more trans people than anywhere else in the country how do we
not have trans athletes in our system like it's crazy to me I think if we actually look at the failings of the trans policy it's completely not in the direction that you think it is not in the the direction of like over enabling trans people into the system it's like
it has barely protects us any trans student I have they are like in and out because they have so many issues going on with their lives and they do not feel like the like they don't know about the trans policies whenever I tell these kids oh you're just allowed to change your name like you can do a a preferred
name no there is like there is so much threatening kind of attitude around they don't feel safe they don't understand their rights like if anything like we do not do nearly enough to protect the trans kids again let alone the teachers like I don't want to do my own War but
like I'm a hell of a teacher I've been in the system for almost 10 years I have taught algebra one geometry I created Al AP staff programming music production I do like if you ask anyone in my school like I am exactly the kind of teacher
that anyone would want in their schools but if you keep trusting your colleagues who are in bed with moms for Liberty who would call me a rumor to my face like you are not going to have the right people in this system tonight and that concludes our
first public session and just for the record um council member Charles love joined us during the public session so the next item on the agenda is the report of the community district superintendent and I will turn it over
to superintendent there you go all right evening everybody [Music] here joined super report that the end of our school season
ended very positively T CS graduation we jump very quickly into sum we have almost 300 students are participate sum grade um I am very happy to report that uh while this
is not [Music] very very we are also foring um I'm also very happy to report tonight have [Music] expanded
may people know we are now offering [Music] I'm also very happy to contct have students are reporting that they are have reded
rate District we looking forward next experience we want to raise all our district we are matics andul really have not
[Music] yet one of that weeks ago CH Bank announc couple thank all of our principl leaders have
in andity very uh we also we also want to work here Summer today I andon with our teers
who today engaged in work around building their fici arounds curriculum have anded leing ly ma
building working on resoltion very our district ini our um also I WR a very quick uh
I think it is meeting ouram team that uh has to many of the that [Music] are and have that I also just want to uh
let people know that I can people hear me very loudly hear how is this better I'm going to try so this way I have to bounce met mic between myself and the superintendent can you hear me in the audience speak really okay trying to avoid the back and
for are there any questions for the superintendent from the council I I have two so you can talk about on first on the 3K are all the spots in this in our district now taken or are you opening it up to new additional
families was um in most cases many of those seat did F right have not yet responded um so we're waiting on four a scenario like that
um a no it's okay scario like that but I can say that um and we're very hungry to uh aai and get a spot so um if you are looking for a SE our school you need to apply
right away look for these new classrooms that are now posted online if if there are additional openings how are you going to advertise it because most people in this District are not listening to tonight's meeting as r as as it may be but how how would you advertise that if families have
applied previously for 3K or 3K spot there on a distribution list when new sites get opened then they receive an email communication from the Department of Education Office of enrollment letting them know that they can apply newly
open second question is on the illustrative math my understanding is a lot of our schools already have adapted either illustrative math or something similar but it's not going to be a significant difference for District Two is that correct
um so what district 2 did which is in line with the first phase of NYC sols is that NYC solves is only pertaining to Middle School uh grades we adopted NYC solves across all of our bus so you're
right there is no change other than we're going to get better at better and better at Implement over the years um but there is no curricular change in our middle schools in our elementary schools NYC fall do not does not include elementary school classroom curricula
yet um but in our uh Elementary School classrooms many of our schools have adopted a new curriculum that is aligned with new standards either illustr illustrative math or um your Rea squar which is another standard align
curriculum there is no mandate yet for element schol to change math curricula um next year we are focused from literacy and we'll see thank you are there any other questions from the council for the superintendant well we thank you for your report we thank you for your hard
work you know we don't want to forget superintendent thank you Deputy superintendent Higgins and Deputy superintendent shann Shannon for all your hard work and also for coming tonight thank you thank you um so we have next next is

to thank our host school tonight W Middle School uh and principal Jennifer Ren and they maybe that I apologize um there have been a bunch of happenings over the past month that I just want to report uh last I think it was last month or maybe a month and a half ago the chancellor announced that six high
schools in our district will be allocating 75% of the seats to students who live in Manhattan for the upcoming ad Mission Cycle this includes ELO Roosevelt Millennium Clinton lab the museum school and the barook school sorry college campus High School this is
a welcome relief to many of our families who have been advocating for some level Geographic priority after a few years of teach to middle school students having some of the worst placement rates across the city of the high schools this is a welcome middle ground that will still allow access to these School for
students from the outer bars this is a starting point and we'll see how this works in terms of boosting placement rates while trying to maintain diverse schools as a reminder this Council passed a resolution earlier this term asking for some reinstatement of the geographic priority second the chancellor recently
announced his intention to ban C phones to schools even as early as next January the policy has not set yet and I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion in the coming months and I'm sure we'll talk about it as the council is well third earlier this term the council
passed a resolution for early voting not to happen in our school buildings as early voting generally takes space in gyms or cafeterias leading students to have not have physical education potentially a couple of months between General and primary citiz at a time or have lunch on their laps in the auditor
in D2 many families reach out for both lab middle school and this school wner because of Ro voting in those School in these schools believe and wagger they do it they kep in a gy so they Jo to be clear our concern is not voity which I
personally think is it good f it was that there are just better places for it the state legislature did have proposed legislation Banning early voting in schools but the legislature adjourned its session in June without acting those days I highly suggest families who feel
strongly about this issue contact their state senator their State Assembly person and governor hokel and express their concerns so that the bill is taken up in the next session for families with an eighth grader there was a high school admission information session last night I heard it was very like for those of
you who may have missed it my understanding is there will be a second session one week from tonight and eventually a reporting will be posted if you need further information about that please to that guy Victor Ruiz our administrative assistant and he will help you out find out more
information we have the student representative position still we've had some really strong and abated students hold that position in the past including then son who was was phenomenal students have to live to be eligible students have to live within District 2 and be a
member of the elected student government or hold an elected leadership position such as president of the club as well as becoming a being a senior if you know anyone may be interested they can fill out an application they can see me they can see to superintendent emper for more
information finally I would like to thank our face settle our Administrative Assistant Victor and our superintendent Kell Kelly mire for helping with the arrangements and Logistics thank up to so so the question was how many student reps and we can have up to
two we can have one we can have we can have to so I encourage anybody who has interest or they knows a high school senior that has an interest to please contact uh fill an application contact me contact the superintendent and we will uh organize that application
process for you thank you so moving along uh are the report committees uh are there any reports exis right discussion of resolutions so we'll start off with resolution 257 the
resolution to fund a certified librarian in every New York City public school are there any questions or comments on the resolution I do have one question and I'll explain where the question is coming from before you answer because if it will help give contact so my question
on this obviously I think it's a really good thing scho should have Librarians my question is what exactly un clear for the resolution is the funding source and let me explain why why I'm asking it's a scenario that that a real world example so many of our schools especially our
smaller schools run on a very very tight budget there is no additional money for another another body another head so they don't even have position they don't even necessarily have enough money for existing teachers so they have to appeal they'll get the money because they're
requirement so in one school for example there are only three specials physical education which I think is required science and then art and music and my fear about this is that if it's if you if it's principles forced to have a
librarian within the confines of the existing budget the only way to do that with financially would be to eliminate one of those positions and make this the special so in other words in that scenario instead of fed art music art
music and science you would have no science and You' have the librarian so you're sort of pigeon hoing the principal and and and the parents in terms of what they want I'm not sure I'm understanding where what you're suggesting as the funding source but that's just that's my question that's my concern with this obviously we should
have Librarians I think it's very important very important position I just want to make sure that we're not piging our our teachers and our our school yeah so let me see let me see if this works um
so the the very last Clause is asking for the legislature the state legislature to enact a bill ensuring that a certified librarian has a funded mandate so this is actually asking for additional funding to come from the state for to fund these librari so would you be amenable to some
language to say that without touching we to come up F without touching the existing School budgets I just want to make that perfectly clear that it's not mandated that it's that they have to do within their confines of their budget it's not enough I just I don't want a
principle to be pigeon hold and have to eliminate programs that are beloved and and I think we're saying the same thing I think our goals are the same I I think but I just want to make that Crystal Clear is that would you be amable to that so I I I I guess I fear a little
that sort of muddies the waters because I mean I think the ask is for the state legislature to fund this and I know the state legislature you know doesn't really have the power to you know move principles to you know move their funds or take it from I mean I I say I like acknowled
that that would be important I would not want to fund a certified librarian at the expense of you know art or music or pH um but I think that like like I'm a little bit wary of like putting in in in what is basically an ask to the
state legislature obviously this involve you know a lot more work to you know get the language of the bill you know in place I me at the end of the day I think anybody could play games they could they could they could the state legis could provide funding for this but then they
could take away money for the school and it would balance out so at the end of the day there's no there's no real way to safeguard that I I I acknowledge that just there is no way to do that it is what it [Music] is suggest is just I guess I mean if I
mean it's it's a little bit difficult because we don't have that many people to do you know motion and things but like we could motion to add some language there that like ensuring that a certified librarian is a funded mandate that does not take funding from other
you know I mean yes I don't know how ideally yes but I don't know how enforceable that is to be honest I mean I get it like that's what I want but I don't know how yeah I think I'm fine with leaving it as I mean I suppose it's as enforceable as our
resolutions are I understand that again I think I think it's fine okay we'll move along resolution 258 resolution on Mand designated time or collaboration amongst editor Educators to promote inclusive
learning for students with disabilities are there any comments or questions on this resolution from the council just say I I agree with it I fully supportive of it it's very important so now we Mo go to our so that's the end of discussion of
resolutions uh we will go to our second public speaker session uh Victor if you could provide that great fre are you going to run this Vanessa yep great right f which one's better neither both turn it
on cool um hi everybody welcome back again and hopefully we can hear me um yes I see the appreciate and thank you um and I appreciate that our system is letting people all be participate and here um I've heard a bunch of talk
tonight about about how the uh when when the the guidelines Pro protect trans and and non that I cannot talk tonight too hot um I Heard a bunch to talk tonight about how when the guidelines protect trans and non-binary kids P were passed it didn't include people um I think in a
bunch of ways there's been a that has been happening for a while when this Council qu questioned and voted to resend against it they asked for expert testimony and a bunch of us were experts like bahara and the audience got up and explained why you know we were experts
and why it belonged and the ways that we weren't allowed in the room in order for it to see happen and think it comes back to the question of how do systems of power stay hidden how do systems of power get in place who do they protect and who do they keep safe you know I
think it's the question as to why were there at least five possibly seven school safety officers back at the back of the room and are they who keep us safe personally in my classroom when we try and do safe we set up Community agreements we set up a discussion about who gets to talk who gets to be included
how do we keep everyone safe enough while disagreeing at the same time um personally I don't think that disagreeing about the existence of trans kids when they've existed forever you know is a legitimate disagreement I don't think whether or not they should be allowed to go to school is a legitimate disagreement you know
protecting our most marginalized or at least some of our most marginalized students seems to be one of the most important things um Len I actually want to say in some ways I think I appreciate you questioning why the trans um decided to resp you know it's a it's a very
interesting question and if we are talking about transphobia we shouldn't be erasing the ways that the harm that people cause you know are doing that and I'm out of time again um and I want to end with this last um about a question on why did we deliv with in D2
and hopefully hand that off to someone else who wants talk about it too um next thank you there isn't a resolution to resend 248 on the agenda today
why literally just just copy and paste the resolution from last night we literally offered to draft it for you as the kids would say WTF y who are you accountable to we are here to protect trans kid but
not only trans we are aunties and gunes teachers and parents of kids F kids and trans kids all the kids who might be trans one day but we're not sure and no matter
what we want them to know that we love them however life unfolds and whoever they become we're here because we're against fascism and the antidote to Fascism is democracy not parent leaders who can't work together and don't feel
accountable to enies also please think of one non-english Speaking parent in your own kids classroom and invite them to apply to bu Place lastly because I have the time
Char we have you on the public record stating that you'd be willing to compensate $100 for every person who's able to find you saying something useful on the internet where can we send our invo thank you thank you my name is Lua
Hernandez I'm a New York City Public School parent I'm here speaking in my own personal capacity um thank you for recognizing accessibility um accessibility and Community engagement is when you can actually participate and
fully engage by listening and hearing all of you on the panel I would have I would really like for you guys to maybe mute all of your mics when only and use only one mic that would help um I appreciate the community Norms that you brought forth and that you are stating
and I hope that you guys can continue to follow them to be able to work together um accountability that's what you were represented that's what you were elected to represent us for and holding everyone accountable and that includes yourself so I implore you I'm asking for council
members to move to add resolu the resolution you brought forth last month to add it to the agenda tonight for a vote um because we do need to resend resolution 248 and I think it's important that you as council members put it on the record that you recognize
the impact and harm that that has caused regardless of your intention um I also want to point out that we've had council members leave during the public session and the same council member that was literally on their phone and not paying
attention and I also have video you guys videotaping the public members including children last month that were ran out crying that's inappropriate that's against the code of ethics of you being a represented representative so please
don't threateningly put your phone out and start recording public members when they are holding you accountable that's what we we have come here to do today um how do you all feel when your kids cry like why haven't you condemned when kids last month walked out crying
do you feel good when your kids cry do you feel good when other kids cry we're here and we keep showing up because the resolution wasn't just a conversation we're not going to give an inch to a conversation about whether or not trans
kids should feel included in their school we're not going to give an inch to the fact that student members aren't going to be able to vote why you that and I know you're not making the decision about how young people are not
able to vote on your Council but who do we really care about here you all are not currently in school you are here based on what your children tell you and when we are going to add young people here they're not even going to be able to make decisions
or vote on resolutions that impact them every day and what Elena mentioned about trans kids being allow allowed to go to school she doesn't mean literally being allowed to go to school they should be able to do that too we mean what kind of
environment are you creating for Trans young people do they feel good about attending school every day are they going to leave the room crying are they going to go home crying who are you here to protect and
serve and we've asked you all to defend the resolution when are you going to do that hi Roo co founder of transformative schools um at the last CC meeting listening to the youth speak about their lived experience and their desire to be
respected as trans people was deeply moving at least for the folks who were truly listening for the folks who understood firsthand about being trans and for those who were there with Open Hearts and open minds I wish kids could run the world and I mean that many of
you on this council could learn a thing or two about Community Care and also about how simple it is to resing 248 trans youth deserve to feel safe loved and supported and her some time ago I was able to talk one-on-one with
some trans kids about their thoughts and feelings about being in school these days and about being a part of the human experience in general and here's what Jack age 11 had to say they said I want to feel comfortable I want to feel like I don't need to change some part of my
identity so that other people could understand it I could just have my identity and I could just be fine Petra age7 said everybody every human being in this planet should be welcomed anywhere even if they are dark
skinned or gay trans or non-binary or just different everybody should be welcomed and loved for who they are you should be respected that's all I have to say thank you thank you uh the next order of
business is the vote on resolutions uh since we do not have a secretary I will I will call the vote my cut off okay so uh I am going to

meeting it's very clear it's very clear I'm sorry we're we're not in public session we're having a are very clear that any resolution has to be delivered copy resolution we have voted on a resolution already so it will
be a new resolution e e e e e e e e e
e e e e e e e e e e e
so for those of you at home I apologize I didn't realize I thought I had muted myself the next meeting will be the third Wednesday of August updates are there any updates from anybody in the schools yeah I have an update go ahead
so um I had I had visited one of my schools I didn't have a chance to speak about this last time but it was the second time I visited PS um PS sorry I think I am unmuted okay is that better okay so I
visited ps51 second time I visited ps51 ps51 is in house kitchen um it's uh I have to say I was just incredibly impressed with the school with uh the administration with the teachers with the students with just the really
welcoming supportive environment there as as well as the the parent leaders there the PTA um it's a school that has served um traditionally served a lot of students in temporary housing um right now I think it's close to a third to 40% of
its students are in temporary housing at one point I I believe still it was zoned for eight different shelters um around the Time Square area including the row um so they had a lot of students they had a lot of work to deal with the 60-day rule because you know they do
have students whose families receive notices like very abruptly that they have to move to another site and including it was mentioned there's like a family that that is now moved to a shelter near like LaGuardia Airport and which is you know not accessible by by
Subway but you know they have to they they still continue to take a uh a bus and and a train there it's a very long commute because you know there's no guarantee that in another 60 days they won't be moved again and so these are the kinds of things that I think families are dealing with but I want to
say that the school the parent Community the the teachers the administration are really doing they all to as they told me to make sure that that even even if students like that's that no student who comes to that school has to feel like
poor inside the school like they will feel that they have like a rich experience in the school and that's it was really a model for me and I I expressed this to Kelly and told him what you know the wonderful things I thought they were doing there so that's all I want to say [Music]
thank you gav uh I do have two updates on two of my schools on PS1 the school will be adding an air conditioning to the school auditorium uh it was one of the winners of council member fer particip participatory budgeting voting they're getting
$450,000 for that so congratulations and EXC it's exciting for the PS1 family ps33 has procured $50,000 for tying Replacements and while they're not my schools uh just reading council member Bacher reports they've allocated within
his district which is which overlaps of our district ps41 and PS3 will get Bathroom up upgrades uh ps340 lab middle and some of the high schools will get technology upgrades ps111 is getting $150,000 for a
new hydronics lab that's very exciting and is the chair left at psg2 212 the CC position vacancy so as everybody as Glenn had mentioned as everybody knows we have a vacancy uh at the uh for one of the positions uh we're
working with face to publicize this as a reminder this is an elll position so to qualify your child needs to be currently designated as an elll child uh we encourage everyone to get the word out I think the speaker's uh suggestion of
speaking to families in their in your class that would qualify and encouraging them to apply is a great idea and I would love to see that so we will very soon and I just want to clarify that actually the um the requirement to fill the
vacancy is that the parents should have a child who who is now or was I believe at any time English thank you I actually would like to speak for a minute on this we can't hear you on this
side no on we I like go on record to say that I'm disappointed with and anger by Chancellor Bank removal there sadly I not shocked I think it is
ramp there was a landmark Supreme Court case defense of freedom of spech for those of you students of the law and I'm G quote something from that r that I think is particularly appable
not shed their consal rights at the schoolhouse representes do not their right right toed of spe should not protected by the First Amendment so
the next item on the agenda is the superintendent evaluation uh L coordinated that he was the president when we did the evaluation we our [Music] I want to thank
thank you uh any questions on that um the next item is the continuation of our discussion on the CC social media I would like to propose that we table that discussion I know that was very important to Sarah and she's not here so I I would rather just
have that conversation When Sarah's here that's okay with everybodys [Music] yeah no the the only people that are have access to the Facebook account would be me Daniela and Lyn that's because we the three senior officers
nobody else has access to it the Twitter account is me and Daniel I don't know if Len has access nobody nobody who's not on the council yeah absolutely but I'd rather do that when Sarah's here I know that would [Music]
yeah sure so just to go back a step we have a Facebook account to the three people that have access to it with the three senior officers Len Daniela and me Len just volunteered to take himself off has access to Facebook because he's not an officer anymore and he's not really a
Facebook kind of guy so um well that's that is there any new business for the sping business session council member C [Music] we really can't hear this so wanted to
remind everybody which is a good point Sarah is excused tonight she had a family issue so we will we will Len and I both accepted that I don't know which one of us technically is the one presid Sarah go ahead go ahead um so I would
like to I mean I don't know if this is a matter that we need a resolution for but I'm happy to introduce a resolution at the next meeting if that is what it'll take um but I think we need an agreement you know a community Norm among our council members that we're not going to
film or take photos of the audience I mean I understand that under open meetings law people come into this space and and they could be photographed or recorded I mean but it's one thing when it's in the audience it's another thing when the people on the stage are like holding up their phones and filming
people it's intimidating it's rude it's it's frankly obnoxious and we we talk about not wanting to chill speech but I think you know that's what we're doing that's what people are doing and especially when people post those videos later and I don't want to get into a talk about who did what in the past I'm
only concerned with what is going on in this Council right now with these people on stage right now and the few who are you know absent today I think that's a really simple ask and I think we can all agree on counc
and especially if we make if we're making it then no one here can record each other perfect that under the open meeting so so what I'm asking for is some modum of courtesy and respect for the audience and that we are not going to sit here
with our phones filming people while they come up here and talk about their testimony and particularly when it comes to contrer you know and and what mod was removed for was not for her speech she has her right to free speech and she can talk on Fox News she can talk to tuer
Carlson or whatever you know crazy person she wants to talk to all she wants and she heads but she doesn't have a right to attack student to bring harm to a student to subject a student to death threats that was what happened to a student at stus and I'm sorry that I
think we as a council need to do better than that can't comment on that but all I can say is I in terms of being respectful of reporting I agree with not being on phones but otherwise if there's something that I want to share when I
get home with my child what happened at the meeting and then if someone is recording me I'd also like to be able to record and share like oh this is what happened and that like as a learning opportunity for my children yeah it
is yes I know but not everything is is it focuses on one person or who's speaking and hardly you can't hear it but in terms of but then so the audience is recording right they come up they come
up let have one person time I understand but as even as an elected official if something captures my attention attention like the book today captured my attention and I screenshot it immediately because I would like to go
home and share that with my I know but still like that's then I like oh my God because as soon as I'm like okay and I know the author of that book and I'd like her to know like you know has been here for the last three or four months we've had every opportunity
to go speak person no okay so it was a little hard to hear you Gavin are you g to propose a resolution next month you want to just have a policy I just I just I couldn't hear exactly what you said so if it if it requires a resolution I'll introduce a resolution
but I don't think it really requires a resolution for us to set some kind of like agreement amongst ourselves that we will not do engage in that kind of behavior so can can I make a
suggestion why don't we all try to show respect problem again then we revisit it but for now we all anybody here I hope say I hope nobody here video to intimidate I've never I can't speak
for other people never I don't so for the people here let's try to show respect and it comes an issue again we talk about it but I think youve made your point it's very valid point we don't want to inida anybody any M of the public I think you should speak to everybody in this Council
that's want said I'm not looking at him doing the one who the concept so that's why okay can we we try just not try to let's see how it goes the next couple me like meetings
and if we have to Revisited gav I'm sure you'll bring it up it's fine i' you to do so well as we've seen if I wanted to bring up a resolution about it I would have to do it like right before roll call so I mean I I I'm a little bit reluctant
given the track record that we have here to you know to like leave it to that then what would you propose you know I'm asking you're making a comment and I'm saying what would you propose ask you this question
as as a incoming a new president do you think it is appropriate for council members while members of the public and children are speaking to be doing this in their I can't speak do do
you so first I'm going to separate it between two different things when fre was describing because she wants to find a book whatever she was saying that's totally separate to me I I think that that's sort of different
I personally wouldn't do that I don't think I've ever reported since I'm on the council I've never reported anybody speaking I don't think so I'm not do you think it's you I personally don't think I wouldn't
do it I don't know in terms of whether legally it's a speech I don't know I think about it asking me I don't I have to think about it more to say what more implication than just saying yes or no speech I don't know the answer as a
personate for you as a vide videotaping I wouldn't do it say I wouldn't do it for me but I don't know can it I that answer your question know what I don't know we I don't know
what we're allowed to manage I haven't thought about it I'm also not a lawyer so you're the lawyer you were a lawyer few minutes ago when you B you were look look look Craig we know that none of our I mean our resolutions aren't binding right like we can't
compel people we can't you know haul them in front of court if they you know do this thing but we can still come together as a community and agree on something agree on something that is respectful of the people that we are supposed to be representing and I want
to be very clear I wasn't finding fault with with PR or what you were doing tonight but but this has been an ongoing issue and there's been a lot of ongoing issues with this Council including the social media thing which was just beyond the pale absolutely beyond the pale and
so it's clear that there's there are issues going on here and this is not about Free Speech but it's just like you know I'm not going to remove the phone from someone if they they continue to do that I can't do that but like I think we can come together and say like what is
our understanding about what is a respectable way to address you know our community and I have certainly haven't seen it here so far especially not over these last few months among the members of this coun I mean some of them are not here tonight sorry let's
just some of them are yeah that being said I'm not I'm not encouraging a member that inappropriately you can also anybody Avil that is what it is but everybody
has the right to do that and we've seen that ucation does okay so so Craig you would recommend that if someone feels that they have been they or their child has been somehow like their privacy has been infringed on that you would recommend that they file a
D2 that process I'm not making any recation not my to make anybody it exists if they want to use it they should be indeed sure noted
uh then can I make a motion to adjourn favor have a good evening and I apologize for the heat but you know all your fault it is my fault made for thank you very much everybody
