MORE APPROPRIATE FOR EXECUTIVE SESSIONS. JUST AS A REMINDER, PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE PUBLIC RECORDS.

YOURSELF, ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL, OR GROUP. I WILL CALL SPEAKERS THREE AT A TIME. AND WE WILL START WITH MATT
SMITH, SEAN BENSON AND JENNIFER. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING.
I USUALLY LOVE BEING RIGHT. BUT THIS IS ONE TIME I TRULY WISH I WASN'T. I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE ON THIS ISSUE, THE CONSISTENT MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT, THE BOARD, AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS WAS SIMPLE, THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. NOW WE KNOW THAT A BIOLOGICAL
MALE HAS BEEN PLAYING ON A DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM AND THAT THE SITUATION HAT NOT BEEN RECENT. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. AND THE GIRLS WHO LOST OUT DON'T GET THOSE SEASONS BACK. THE OPPOSING TEAMS, INCLUDING RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS, DON'T GET THE
CHOICE THEY WERE NEVER GIVEN. THIS IS NOT ABSTRACT. IT IS NOT A NATIONAL DEBATE. IT IS HAPPENING HERE. IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. IT IS A COOL WALKING INTO TRYOUTS BELIEVING THE FIELD IS LEVEL. IT'S THE PLAYER WHO DID
EVERYTHING RIGHT AND STILL WENT HOME WITHOUT A SPOT. IT IS PARENTS WHO TRUSTED WHAT THEY WERE TOLD AND ARE NOW ASKING WHY THEY WERE NOT FULLY INFORMED. TITLE NINE WAS CREATED GUARANTEE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR GIRLS IN
ATHLETICS CAN CARVED OUT SPACE FOR GIRLS BECAUSE THAT SPACE DID NOT EXIST BEFORE. NOW THAT SPACE IS BEING REDEFINE ED IN A WAY THAT SHRINKS OPPORTUNITY THE VERY STUDENTS WHICH WAS MEANT TO PROTECT. WOULD FAMILIES -- WHEN FAMILIES ARE TOLD SOMETHING ISN'T HAPPENING AND THEN DISCOVER IT'S
BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, TRUSTEE RODES. WHEN GIRLS LOSE OPPORTUNITIES CONCERNS BRUSHED ASIDE. FAIRNESS ERODES. THIS BOARD SOS FAMILIES CLARITY, NOT SILENCE, NOT AMBIGUITY. CLARITY.
IF THIS IS THE POLICY SAY IT PLAINLY. STAND BEHIND IT OPENLY. LET PARENTS KNOW BEFORE THEIR DAUGHTERS TRY OUT NOT AFTER. TODAY FAMILIES IMPACTED. COME FORWARD. IF YOUR DAUGHTER LOST A ROSTER SPOT, OR COMPETED UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT DISCLOSURE, REPORT IT.
AND PROTECT GIRL'S SUPPORTS DCSD.COM. THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS, IT'S ABOUT THE GIRL WHO WORKED FOR YEARS FOR A CHANCE TO COMPETE. IT'S ABOUT THE ATHLETE WHO SAT IN HER CAR AFTER TRYOUTS AND CRIED BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T MAKE THE TEAM.
IT'S ABOUT A SIMPLE PROMISE, THAT WHEN A DOOR SAYS GIRL'S, IT MEANS GIRL'S. IF THIS BOARD CANNOT PROTECT SOMETHING THAT BASIC, IF WE CANNOT PROTECT THE DEFINITION OF A GIRL, THEN WE ARE NOT PROTECTING GIRLS AT ALL. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. NEXT WE HAVE SHAWN BENSON. >> THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS, CLARK HALLIHAN, BRAD GEIGER TONY AND MOST DISTRACTED VALERIE THOMPSONS
WERE ALL ON THE PHONE OF THIS FIRST READING OF THIS POLICY DISCUSSION, SUPERINTENDENT ERIN KANE YOU TAKE THE CAKE FOR HOW MUCH YOU WERE ON YOUR PHONE. THE YOUR Ph.D DELI SMITH WHO PRESENTED ON THIS TOPIC WAS ON TWO PHONES ALL NIGHT LONG. THAT'S THE KIND OF ATTIC YOU IRRELEVANT TAKING ADVISE FROM.
THE ACTUAL BILLS EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM 35 STATES REGARDING DEVICE POLICIES IN SCHOOLS. GUESS HOW MANY HAVE STATEWIDE BANS? ONE. YOU ARE BEING MISINFORMED BECAUSE NO ONE HERE HAS L A READ ANY LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED.
I HAVE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT AN ACTUAL BAN LOOKS LIKE GET A JOB INSIDE A SKIFF. THERE IS NO EXCEPTIONS THERE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING SELL PHONE RESTRICTIONS ON OUR KIDS WHILE THE ADDICTS IN CHARGE CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THIS MEETING WITHOUT THAT DOPAMINE HIT. REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU WERE READY FOR BED AND YOU LOOKED AT YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU TURNED OUT
THE LIGHT AND YOU COULDN'T GO TO SLEEP. SAME THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN CLASSES BEFORE DISTRACTED KIDS, BEFORE TAKING TESTS. IT TAKES A MONSTER TO MAKE A MONSTER. AND NOT HAVING A BELL TO BELL BAN WILL CREATE MORE MONSTERS. YOUR DIGITAL SMACK ADDICTION HAS TURNS INTO SOLDIERS RECRUITING
OUR YOUTHER WHO DECEIVED BY YOU BURYING THE TRUTH. YOU DON'T OWN YOUR PHONE. IT OWNS YOU. IT HAS ULTIMATE CONTROL OVER YOU. WHEN YOU ONLY ALLOW ADDICTS TO GET THEIR FIX BETWEEN CLASSES, YOU DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. YOU JUST FORCE MASS CONSUMPTION IN SHORT BURTS. RATHER THAN HAVING KIDS ACTUALLY
SOCIALIZING BETWEEN CLASSES YOU'LL HAVE PHONE ZOMBIES ROAMING THE HALLS. AND THE PHONE ISOLATES THEM FROM THE REAL WORLD AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE PEEL PTSD IN ISOLATION, THAT DRUG IN YOUR HAND IS HOW WE DIE. THIS IS NOT LIKE WHEN THE WORLD
WAS INTERIM DUE TODAY ELECTRICITY, TELEPHONE, RADIO, TV OR INTERNET. THIS IS AN ADDICTION THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. LOOK AROUND HERE TONIGHT. ALL OF HUMANITY IS ADDICTED TO THIS DRUNK AND NO ONE CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT. THIS IS FULL-SCALE WRECK I THINK. I AM SURE I AM THE ONLY FREAK HERE WHO ACTUALLY TAKES A PHONE SABBATH WHERE YOUR PHONE IS OFF.
AND I DON'T MEAN GOING INTO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THERE IS NO SIGNAL. NEW YORK JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE WEEK WHERE YOUR PHONE IS POWERED OFF. DOES ANYONE HERE EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE K.YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT IT? META AND GOOGLE ARE ON TRIAL RIGHT NOW FOR HOW ADDICTIVE THEIR PLATFORMS ARE TO KIDS. BUT THOSE CORPORATIONS, THEY ARE
JUST THE STREET DEALERS. LET'S PUT BLAME WHERE BLAME IS DUE IT'S THE PARENTS WHO ARE THE SUPPLIERS BECAUSE NO MINOR CAN SIGN A CONTRACT FOR THEIR OWN PHONE PLAN. SO I ASK YOU, DO YOU WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE DIGITAL DRUG CARTEL ROAR DO YOU WANT TO TRY TO STOP IT. EVERY EXCUSE YOU HEAR FOR PHONES
IN SCHOOLS WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED 20 YEARS AGO BEFORE THIS DRUG EVER EXISTED. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEADERS IN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEMS. SO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BE TRUE LEADERS AND DO IT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. BENSON, NEXT WE HAVE JEFF OFFICER IVERSON FOLLOWING BY LAUREN REELING. >> MY NAME IS GENERAL FORE IVERSON AND I SPEAK UPON ON
BEHALF OF DOUGLAS COUNT PARENTS. PARENTS WHO BELIEVE DEEPLY IN THE PROMISE AND IDEAL OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. LET ME BEGIN WITH SOMETHING WE AGREE ON. PAIGES HAVE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DECIDE HOW A THEIR CHILD SECOND INDICATED THAT RIGHT IS
SACRED FAMILIES CHOOSE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS, NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, CHARTER SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND HOME SCHOOLING EVERY DAY. AND THAT FREEDOM IS A CORNERSTONE OF OUR COUNTRY. WHEN ONE CHOOSES PUBLIC SCHOOLS YOU ARE CHOOSING TO EDUCATE YOUR CHILD ALONGSIDE FAMILIES WHO
HAVE HAD A DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCES. POSSIBLY VERY DIFFERENT THAN YOUR OWN. THAT IS PARENTAL CHOICE. YOU GET TO OPT OUT BASED ON YOUR VALUES. BUT YOU DON'T GET TO ELIMINATE OPTIONS FOR PARENTS WHO HOLD DIFFERENT ONES. IF YOUR VALUES OR FAITH LEAD YOU
TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PATH FOR YOUR CHILD, THAT CHOICE IS HONORED AND RESPECTED. BUT YOU CANNOT EXIT THE SYSTEM AND CONTROL IT SIMULTANEOUSLY. ONCE YOU REMOVE YOUR CHILD FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL, YOUR INFLUENCE
SHIFTS TO WHAT EVERY CITIZEN HAS A, A VOTE, PUBLIC COMMENT, A SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO RESHAPE A PUBLIC INSTITUTION FUNDED BY ALL, SERVING ALL, TO REFLECT THEIR WORLD VIEW AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY OTHER PARENT'S ENROLLED
CHILD. PLEASE, BECAUSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WRONG TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, THEY ARE FUNDED BY ALL TAXPAYERS. EVERY RACE, EVERY BACKGROUND, EVERY ZIP CODE. THEY SERVE EVERY ENROLLED CHILD AND ANSWER TO OUR COLLECTIVELY
CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, NOT TO ANY SINGLE MORAL OR IDEOLOGICAL TRAIT. PUBLIC HE CAN INDICATION IS NOT BUILT TO MAKE MONEY. IT'S A SERVICE. AN INVESTMENT IN OUR FUTURE. YES, OUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD BE SPENT WITH INTENTION, BUT THE RETURN WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS NOT
MONEY, IT'S THE CONTINUATION OF OUR SOCIETY AND THE PROGRESS OF NEW IDEAS. IT'S PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, WE HAVEN'T EVEN IMAGINED YES THE 14th AMENDMENT GUARANTEES EQUAL PROTECTION, I.D.E.A. ENSURES CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES LEARN ALONGSIDE
THEIR PEERS. TITLE SIX PREFECT CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF RACE OR INFORMATION THE OR TIN, TITLE NINE PROTECTS THEM REGARDLESS OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX. THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS THEIR RIGHT TO WORSHIP FREELY OR NOT AT ALL.
FOR FAMILIES TO DEPEND ON DCSD, THIS DISTRICT HAS A NONNEGOTIABLE OBLIGATION. >> 15 SECONDS REMAINING. >> PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE GREAT EQUALIZERS, THEY ARE WHERE A CHILD FROM ANY BACKGROUND, ANY FAITH, ANY ABILITY LE LEVELS WAS
THROUGH THE SAME DOOR AND IS TOLD YOU MATTER, YOU BELONG AND WE'LL BE THERE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO LEARN. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MS. IVERSON, NEXT LAUREN REELING FOLLOWED BY
HEATHER GONZÁLEZ. >> HELLO I AM LAUREN REELING I READ THE DISTRICT'S AUDITED FINANCIAL RECORD. AND WATCHED ON FEBRUARY 10th WHEN YOU VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO EXPLORE ANOTHER MILL LEVEE THE
LIKE TO CONNECT SOME DOTS, SINCE 2014 THIS DISTRICT HAS LOST NEARLY 6,000 STUDENTS ARE PER PUPIL SPENDING IS UP 44%. WHEREAS IN INFLATION DURING THIS TIME WAS UP 27%. THE DISTRICT ADDED 56 ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF POSITIONS WHILE LOSING
THOSE 6,000 STUDENTS. WHERE IS THE BOFFIN FLATION SPENDING GOING? GENERAL FUND MOUNTED MEANT SPENDING JUMP 15% IN A SINGLE YEAR TO OVER $100 MILLION. SEPARATE FROM THE BOND VOTERS ALREADY APPROVED. TRANSPORTATION COSTS ROSE OVER 20% IN ONE YEAR, WHILE
TRANSPORTATION STAFFING DROPPED. AND NOW THERE IS A $15 MILLION SHORTFALL. SO LAWS THE PLAN? FOUR BALLOT MERE USE IN SIX YEARS AN MLO NEXT YEAR EYE $500 MILLION BOND IN 2028.
A $40 MILLION MAINTENANCE MLO IN 2030. ANOTHER BOND IN 2032 AND A SWITCH TO A MIXED MILL RATE SO REVENUE RISES AUTOMATICALLY WITH PROPERTY VALUES AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO ASK VOTERS AGAIN. THAT'S NOT A FINANCIAL PLAN,
THAT'S GOVERNMENT PROTECTING IT SELF FROM ACCOUNTABILITY. YOUR ANSWER TO EXPENSING PROBLEMS IS MORE TAXES. YOUR ANSWERS TO FAMILY CHOOSING ALTERNATIVES IS TO FIGHT THE ALTERNATIVES INSTEAD OF ASKING WHY THEY ARE LINK.
YOUR ANSWER TO CALLS FOR TRANSPARENCY IS MAKING CONTROVERSIAL SURVEYS OPT OUT SO PARENTS DON'T HAVE TO CONSENT. FLOATING CUTS OF LIFE STREAMS TO YOUR OWN MEETINGS TO SAVE MONEY.
YOU ARE PROTECTING YOUR AGENDA INSTEAD OF EARNING THE COMMUNITY'S TRUST. TWO GAP THE BUDGET SHORTFALL AND THE TRUST DEFICIT AND THESE ARE NOT SEPARATE PROBLEMS. FAMILIES LEAVE BECAUSE THEY DON'T TRUST YOU. WHEN THEY LEAVE, THEY TAKE THEIR FUNDING WITH THEM.
AND YOU STRONG ARM THE COMMUNITY INTO FILLING THE GAP WITH HIGHER TAXES, THAT MAKE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY EVEN MORE -- OR THIS COUNT EVEN MORE OF A FINANCIAL OBSTACLE. THE RIGHT ANSWER IS TO COMPETE WITH THE CHARTERS BY DOING BETTER. LEAD WITH REAL TRANSPARENCY.
EXPLAIN WHERE THE BOFFIN FLANGES ABOVEINFLATION SPENDING IS GOIN, WORK WITH PARENTS INSTEAD EVERY GOING AROUND THEM. GIVE FAMILIES A REASON TO CHOOSE THIS DISTRICT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU ARE NOT GIVING THEM ONE, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MS. REELING. NEXT WE HAVE HEATHER GONZÁLEZ
FOLLOWED BY LACY GANSEY. >> GOOD EVENING DIRECTORS A HAM HEATHER GONZÁLEZ A RESIDENTS OF CASTLE ROCK FOR 20 YEARS MY OLDEST CHILD GRANT WAITED FROM THE DISTRICT FIVE YEARS AGO AND OUR YOUNGER WILL THIS MAY.
MANY MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN DEALING WITH FOR THE PASTE SREL YEARS ARE YARD OUR DAUGHTER HAPPEN A TARGET I'VE DOCKING TAME BINE BY FORMER SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE WATCH HAS HAPPENED TO OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN LIFE ALTERING AND FOREVER CHANGE THE WAY OUR DAUGHTERS VIEWS THE WORLD AROUND
HER ON PRESIDENT'S DAY MY WIFE AND I RECEIVED AN URGENT EMAIL OUR CHILD AM BASKETBALL COACH REQUESTS THAT WE MEET WE WENT UP IMMEDIATELY. AS WE SAT DOWN HE SHOWED US HIS PHONE AND ON IT WAS A WEBSITE TO ON USED TO OUT TRANS ATHLETES AND A PICTURE OF OUR DAUGHTER AND MULTIPLE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
IDENTIFYING HER BY FIRST, LAST NAME AND HIGH SCHOOL IT WAS NOT JUST ONE PICTURE BUT PICTURES SPANNING HER ENTIRE BASKETBALL CAREER FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL O PICTURES OF HER AS I LITTLE GIRL IN A TEAM PHOTO. ALL OTHER GIRLS FACES BLURRED OUT EX-IS HE WANT FOR HERBS HER GOOFY SMILE STANDING OUT FOR ALL
THE WORLD TO SEE. THIS WAS PERSONAL. WHOM DID THIS KNEW THAT THIS WAS HER. THEY KNEW IT WAS HER IN THE SEA OF A LOT OF OTHER LITTLE GIRLS. ANY OF WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN HER UNLESS THERE WAS PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OTHERWISE. THE FEAR, THE ANGER AND THE SADNESS I EXPERIENCED IN THAT MOMENT WAS LIKE NO OTHER.
WE THEN HAD TO CALL OUR DAUGHTER IN WITH HER COACH AND TELLER WHAT HAPPENED TO SAY THAT WE COULD SEE HER BREAK BEFORE OUR EYES WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. WHOEVER DID THIS HAS BEEN VERY CALCULATED AND TARGETING THEY WAITED UNTIL SHE WAS 18, SHARED IT GAYS AGAINST GROOMERS, CONSERVATIVES FROM BOULDER. HE CHEATED.ORG AND EVERY OTHER
ANTI-TRANS ORGANIZATION YOU CAN THINK OF. THEY SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH THE COLLEGES SHE'S APPLIED TO. THEY CREATED A Facebook AND AN X PAGE TARGETING HER. THEY HAVE CALLED FOR HER GENOCIDE, FOR AL TRANSGENDER PEOPLE FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO BE MURDERED. TO BE BEAT UP ON THE COURT. ERASED. AND JAILED.
HER LAST TWO BASKETBALL GAMES OF HER CAREER WERE SURROUNDED BY POLICE, THE SECURITY TEAM, AND THE ENTIRE ADMIN TEAM OF HER SCHOOL. SENIOR NIGHT WAS SPENT WITH OUR HEADS ON SWIVELS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO DO HARM TO HER SHE WAS ROBBED A NORMAL SENIOR NIGHT SOMETHING SHE HAD WAITED FOR
SINCE FOURTH GRADE IN THE SAYS SINCE WE HAVE SPENT HOWARD CATALOGING SCREEN SHOTS AND REGARDLESS OF ALL THINGS SAID AGAINST HER AND I CAN TELL YOU A MOM'MOM'S HEART IS NOT BUILD ONE FOR THESE THINGS, OUR HEARTS ARE BROKING THE PAIN AND SADNESS OF
WATCHING HER SCARED TO PLAY TO HER ABILITY TO ENSURE THAT SHE DIDN'T BECOME A FALSE NARRATIVE SOMEONE ELSE'S HATE WAS HEARTBREAKING THERE ARE DAILY POSTS MADE ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER THE HARASSMENT HAS NOT STOPPED. THREATS OF LAWSUITS, NO SO SUBTLE REMINDERS BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS TO WHERE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL.
AND CALLS TO TAKE ACTION OF HER CONTINUE AGAINST -- AGAINST HER CONTINUE MY FAMILY IS GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DONE TO KEEP HER SAFE. >> 15 SECONDS REMAIN. >> THAT BEING SAID I AM HERE TONIGHT TO ASK WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP HER SAFE WHEN THE BULLYING IS ORIGINATING FROM AN ADULT AND A DCSD PARENT.
IF THIS WAS A STUDENT I AM SURE ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN BUT AS AN ADULT AND OUR DAUGHTER WHAT IS TO LEARN THAT THE WITH UNONES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT GIRLS ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT WANT TO HURT THEM. >> THANK YOU, MS. GONZÁLEZ.
LAST PUBLIC COMMENTER IS LACY GAINSY. >> GOOD EVERYBODY, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MY NAME IS LACY GAINS SEE AND I AM NOW AGAIN A DOUGLAS
COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL PARENT. MY CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN DCSD SCHOOLS AND NOT ONE OF THEM BUT TWO. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE APRIL 20th OF 2023, NEARLY THREE YEARS AGO, SINCE MY FAMILY FIRST STOOD HERE BEFORE THE DISTRICT ASKING FOR HELP, IT WAS
VERY SIMPLE, I WAS ASKING FOR A CLEAR DEFINITION BETWEEN BULLYING AND A HATE CRIME FOR INSTANCES LIKE THIS, BECAUSE WHEN A CHILD IS TARGETED FOR WHO THEY ARE, WHEN HARASSMENT FOLLOWS THEM BEYOND THE CLASSROOM AND INTO THEIR COMMUNITY, AND FROM THEIR COMMUNITY AND INTO THEIR CLASSROOM. THAT IS NO LONGER JUST BULLYING,
THAT BECOMES SOMETHING FAR MORE DANGEROUS. DESPITE EVERYTHING MY FAMILY ENDURED IN 20 TENT THREE, I WANT TO BEGIN TONIGHT WITH GRATITUDE. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE WITNESSED SOMETHING I HONESTLY NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FEEL AGAIN FROM THIS DISTRICT COMMUNITY.
I HAVE SEE SEEN THE NEW AMERICANS BOARD CARING FOR ALL STUDENTS I HAVE SEEN THEM PRESENT. STUDENTS SHOWING KINDNESS TO EACH OTHER AND MY SON BETTING GUESS HIS DOSE OF HEALING FOR PEOPLE THAT SAY YOU DON'T CARE. YOU DO. FOR PARENTS THAT LEFT THE
DISTRICT, I D I CAME BACK. I HAVE SEEN THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SHOW EMPATHY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOMETHING DEEPLY DISTURBING IS STILL HAPPENING. RIGHT NOW ONE OF OUR DOUGLAS COUNTY FAMILIES IS BEING TARGETED WITH A HATE EVERY SINGLE DAY WHILE THEIR CHILD ATTENDS OUR SCHOOLS. FROM A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY
THAT RAN FOR THIS DCSD BOARD. AND THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE IS NOT CHICAGO CHILD IT'S BEEN ADULT. AN ADULT HARASSING FAMILIES, INTIMIDATING PARENTS AND INSERTING HIMSELF INTO THE LIVES OF OUR DOUGLAS COUNTY CHILDREN AGAIN AND AGAIN. HE HAS SPOKE MY NAME SEVERAL
TIMES ON THIS PUBLIC RECORD CONTINUING TO TRY TO ENDANGER MY FAMILY. AND ALTHOUGH I KNOW I AM ONLY SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS THIS BOARD AT PUBLIC COMMENT. I AM SPELLED TO STATE THAT MATT SMITH CONTINUED TOES HARASS MY FAMILY AND THE OTHER DCSD FAMILY, LONG AFTER HIS CAMPAIGN
IS OVER. I SAY THIS SOUTH LOUD BECAUSE FAMILIES LIKE MINE KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN SOMEONE LIKE HIM CONTINUES TO CIRCLE OUR GIRL GOES, OUT GIRL'S SPORTING EVENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY. HE'S ATTACKING FAMILIES WHILE CLAIM TO GO STAND UP FOR OUR CHILDREN. IT TOOK THREE YEARS FOR MILE FAMILY TO BEGIN TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN ANYWHERE IN DCSD.
AND YET HERE WE ARE AGAIN. WHERE IS THE LINE BETWEEN BULLY AND HATE CRIME BECAUSE WHEN HARASSMENT FOLLOWS THE CHILDREN INTO SPORT EVENTS AND WHEN ADULTS DRIVES AROUND GIRL'S LATH HE HAD LICK TARGET FACT LIL WHEN INTIMIDATION BECOMES A REALITY DAILY FOR STUDENTS THAT'S NOT
ORDERING BULLYING IT'S SOMETHING THE DISTRICT MUST TAKE SERIOUSLY TONIGHT I ASK THIS BOARD FOR A FINAL TIME CREATE A CLEAR DID HE MENTION BETWEEN BULLYING AND A HATE CRIME. WE NEED TOMORROW PLENTY TOOLS LIKE RETRAINING ORDERS FOR STRONGER SAFETY MEASURES SO CHILDREN CAN FEEL SAFE IN SCHOOLS.
ADULTS ARE BULLIES AS WELL. I AM HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE MY SON DESERVED PROTECTION AND THIS FAMILY DOES AS WELL I AM HERE, I AM BACK, AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EVERY FAMILY IS PROTECT GO AHEAD. PROTECTED. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU, MS. GAINSY, THAT

>> WITH THAT, I BELIEVE WE HAVE MOVED THE ITEM 10.5. THE BOARD'S SECOND QUARTER BUDGET REVIEW UP ON OUR AGENDA, SO WE WILL NOW LOOK AT THAT ITEM. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A
10-MINUTE DISCUSSION WITH OUR TREASURE OUR THOMPSON LEADING US THROUGH THE CONVERSATION. DIRECTOR THOMPSON, IT'S ALL YOURS. >> THANK YOU. AND WE'LL PUT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION BULLET REVIEW ON THE SCREEN? I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S THERE NOW. OKAY. >> YES.
IT IS. >> OKAY. SO -- FANTASTIC. SO THERE ARE TWO MAIN POLICIES RIDED TO OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT BUDGET AND THIS IS GP1.4 WHICH IS THE --, COFFERS
TREASURER RESPONDS SUPPORTING THE BEO BUDGET AND FP1.9 INVESTMENT IN GOVERNANCE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE BUDGET CAN BE SPENT AND REQUIREMENTS THAT WE REVIEW THE BUDGET QUARTERLY DURING A BOARD OF EDUCATION
MEETING. THE OTHER THING 1.9 COVERS IS THE HOW THE BUDGET CAN BE SPENT. DIVIDED INTO FIVE CATEGORIES, BOARD OPERATIONS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OUTSIDE MONITORING
ASSISTANCE AND THEN WE ALSO COVER ONE-TIME EXPENSES AND THAT'S THINGS SUCH AS ELECTION FEES AND POLLING. SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT QUICK BACKGROUND. SO THIS FIRST DOCUMENT IS OUR QUARTER TWO BUDGET REVIEW. AND I WANT TO TAKE NOTE THIS
ENDED IN DECEMBER 31st OF LAST YEAR. AND SO WE ALL KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN EXPENDITURES SINCE THEN AND THOSE ARE REFLECTED IN THE REGULAR REPORTS THAT THE BOARD RECEIVE REGARDING AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE. KIND OF BRIEFLY GOING THROUGH
SOME OF THE CATEGORY AS' UPDATE IF YOU LOOK THE FIRST ONE IS ELECTION FEES AND THE VARIANCE IS HIGH. WE DID OVER ESTIMATE ELECTION FEES. AND STAFF IS WORKING TO SEE HOW WE CAN BETTER EFFORT MATE THIS IN THE FUTURE. FEES HAVE BEEN PAID TO THIS
POINT FOR THIS YEAR. THE NEXT CATEGORY IS CONSULTING SERVICES. THIS IS WHERE OUR POLLING EXPENSES WOULD FALL. THE NEXT CATEGORY IS A AUDIT AS YOU CAN SEE WE UNDERESTIMATED
THE COST OF THE AUDIT. AND IT ENDED UP COMING IN OVER FIVE GRAND MORE THAN BUDGETED. DUES AND FEES. 28,000 AVAILABLE. AND JUST FOR BACKGROUND FEES
INCLUDE THINGS LIKE DUES AND FEES FOR CASB, WE ALSO INCLUDE THE FEES FOR THE APPLE AWARD, WE DO AN ANNUAL AMOUNT TO THE FOUNDATION. THE NEXT CAL GORE IS A TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT.
HERE WE WILL SEE A LARGE VEIN WRAPS AND THE BACKGROUND IS LAST YEAR A CARRYOVER ALSO FROM ELECTION FEES. WE HAD FIGHT BAIT OF SAVINGS, THE RECEIVE BOARD DECIDED WE WOULD USE THAT FUNDS UPDATE THE
BOARD DOCUMENTS TO DILIGENT WHICH WE HAVE ALL SEEN AND ARE AWARE, THAT KNEW SYSTEM CAME IN AT AROUND $20,000. AND NO OTHER COSTS ARE ANTICIPATED. SO WE ARE CURRENTLY AT OVER AN 81,000-DOLLAR BALANCE IN THAT
CATEGORY. OTHER ITEMS PURCHASED WAS A COMPUTER FOR ONE OF OUR NEW DIRECTORS. THE NEXT CATEGORY WITH GENERAL SUPPLIES THIS, CATEGORY WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. THAT HAS A LOT OF ONGOING COSTS INCLUDING LIKE OUR COMMITTEE MEALS.
TRAVEL AND REGISTRATION, SO ALL OF THE TRAVEL AND REGISTRATION COSTS SHOULD BE NOW PAID TO DATE. AND THEN TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING SHOW THIS YEAR. BUT WE HAD A PAYMENT TO ARBITRAGE COMPLIANCE, WE
TYPICALLY LABEL THAT UNDER TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. AND IT JUST HAPPENED TO GET BASEBALLED UNDER CONSULTING AND WASN'T FIXED BEFORE THIS MEETING. MILEAGE, THAT'S OUR DIRECTOR MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT.
WE HAD EXTRA PAY AND PARA. ANNUALLY BUDGETED AT NEEDED. IN THE PAST WE REPRESENTED FOR THE CASB RETREAT. THIS YEAR WE HELD IT AT A DISTRICT BUILDING SO THERE WAS NO EXPENSE. PRINT AND BINDING, THINGS LIKE
OUR NAME TAGS, BUSINESS CARDS, ET CETERA. ADVERTISING, THOSE ARE ANY TIME WE HAVE TO DO REQUIRED NOTICES IN THE NEWSPAPER. SO AN EXAMPLE THAT WAS PROVIDED IS LIKE OUR DISTRICT BUDGET. AND THEN THE MALE CHARGE CATEGORY IS JUST SUPPORT I THINK
CHARGES. SO THIS YEAR, THE BOARD DOES HAVE A FEW ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER FOR OUR BUDGET. AND THE FIRST ONE IS LIFE STREAMING CONSIDERATIONS, THERE HAS BEEN CONVERSATIONS THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO BRING BACK UP AND WE HAD THE BUDGET
CONVERSATION. TO SEE, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD MONEY IN THE BUDGET, AND IF LIVE STREAMING IS A COST THAT WE WANT TO INCUR. I WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY CATEGORY THAT'S A HIGH AMOUNT AND THAT'S THIS YEAR ONLY THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A CARE
OVER FROM A PREVIOUS YEAR SO THAT'S NOT LIKE AN ONGOING BUDGET THAT WE TYPICALLY, HAVE I WOULD LIKE TO YOU KEEP THAT IN TO CONSIDERATION. ADDITIONALLY WHEN WE GET OUR BOARD AVAILABLE FUND UPDATES, YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
THE FORMAT CHANGE AND IN THE FORMAT CHANGE IT WAS HIGHLIGHTED THAT THE BOARD BUDGET IS A DISCRETIONARY BUDGET. THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO CARRYOVER. SO THAT'S NOT A PRACTICE THAT CARRYING OVER, YOU KNOW, EXCESS FUNDS TO THE NEXT YEAR. SO KIND OF WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ALL
OF THOSE POINTS AND THEN OPEN UP SOME CONVERSATION AROUND LIVE STREAMING CONSIDERATIONS. >> THANK YOU. DIRECTOR THOMPSON FOR WALKING US THROUGH THAT. THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL.
ESPECIALLY -- IT WAS HELPFUL FOR ALL OF US. WITH THAT I HAVE A QUESTION AROUND -- I THINK YOU HAD MENTIONED POLLING COSTS WOULD FALL UNDER THE CONSULTING SERVICES, CORRECT? >> YEP. >> OKAY.
>> YEAH, AND I CAN HIGHLIGHT THERE ARE THE FOUR MAIN THINGS TO TALK ABOUT OUR LIVE STREAMING CONSIDERATIONS. ED FOLLOWING SO WE CAN REALITY INDICATE SAVINGS TO COVER THE POLLING COSTS.
WE HAVE THE COLORADO SCHOOL FINANCIAL PROJECT MEMBER SHIM DUES TO DISCUSS. AS WHOLE AS A TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION FOR OUR BOARD MEETINGS TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HARD OF HEARING. THOSE ARE THE FOUR TOPICS TO COVER.
REGARDING A BUDGET THIS YEAR. >> GREAT. WITH THAT I WILL MAYBE ASK DO WE HAVE ADDITIONAL COST INFORMATION FOR THE FOURTH I ITEM THAT YOU MENTIONED THE TECH SOLUTIONS AND
THIS OPEN ALSO THE CSFP MEMBERSHIP, I THINK SEEING WHAT THOSE DOLLARS AMOUNTS ARE WOULD HELP US GO INTO CONVERSATION. >> YEP. SO FOR CSSP. THE AM IS $24,704, I HAVE A
LITTLE WRITE-UP HERE I CAN PRESENT ON WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS. AND I CAN PROVIDE LIKE WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES ARE PROVIDED THROUGH MEMBER SIP BENEFITS WHEN WE ARE READY TO OF THAT CONVERSATION. FOR TECH SOLUTIONS DURING THE BOARD MEETINGS, I HAVE WORKED
WITH SHAUNA A LITTLE BIT AND SHE'S DONE A LITTLE BIT OF OUTREACH TO SEE WHAT SOME OF THOSE TECH SOLUTIONS MIGHT LOOK LIKE. IT'S PRETTY LOW COST THE SOLUTIONS THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT SO FAR. IT'S NOT FINALIZED WITH THE FULL DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT IT WOULD BE ON
THE LOWER END. THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM BOARD DIRECTORS ON THIS TOPIC. GREAT. SO WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MINUTES
LEFT IN WHAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED AND I I DON'T THINK WE ARE LOOKING TO TAKE A VOTE THIS EVENING. OR IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WERE HOPING FOR DIRECTOR THOMPSON? >> SO IT WOULD HELP TO HAVE A LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF CONSENSUS
ABOUT YOU KNOW, IF -- OKAY, SO THE -- AGAIN, THE BUDGET DOESN'T CARRYOVER. SO IF WE ARE WANT TO GO SPEND MONEY TOWARD LIVE STREAMING THAT HITS A CERTAIN THRESHOLD IT WOULD NEED CONSENSUS FROM THE BOARD. I THINK THE POLLING COULD BE A
QUICK CONGRESS CENSUS THAT WOULD BE COVERED AND WE CAN REALITY INDICATE FUND SAYS AND THEN FOR THE CSFP. WE NEED TO DETERMINE IF WE WANT TO PAY THE INVOICE FOR THIS AREA, AND THEN WOULD IT BE INCLUDED MOVING FORWARD FOR NEXT
YEAR'S BUDGET. >> THAT WAS THAT WAS HELPFUL. WE KNOW THE FOLLOWING IS HAPPENING AND, WE KNOW THAT COST. WE NEED TO FIND. IT SOUNDS LIKE DIRECTOR THOMPSON HAS, YOU KNOW, SUGGESTED THAT PERHAPS THE TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT
THAT HAS 80,000 AMOUNT THAT IS AVAILABLE COULD BE A PLACE WHERE WE COULD TRANSFER THAT TO THE CONSULTING SERVICES LINE ITEM. AND I AM LACKING AT BOARD DIRECTORS TO SEE IF THERE IS CONSENSUS ON THAT.
AND I SEE A LOT OF HEAD NOT. THE CSSP MEMBERSHIP. ARE THERE QUESTIONS ON THE BACKGROUND ON THIS?
IS THERE A RECOMMENDATION TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD AND PAY THE MEMBERSHIP FEE? FOR CSSP? >> I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD. [ INAUDIBLE ]
>> OKAY. >> THE INFORMATION I THINK IS HELPFUL. >> ALL RIGHT, I SEE -- JUST FOR THE PUBLIC. CAN WE ANSWER WHAT EXACTLY IT DOES. >> SURE. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON DO YOU HAVE THE --
>> YES. >> C SFP IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT WAS CREATED IN 1995 AND BEEN SUPPORTED BY EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THROUGH ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS. 95 PERCENT OF THE DISTRICTS IN
COLORADO ARE MEMBERS OF CSFP. OUR OUR DIRECTOR OF BUDGET WHO HAS SIGN MOVED TO A DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION, COLLEEN DOAN, THEY PARTICIPATED IN THEIR ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AND SOME OF THE MEMBERSHIP
BENEFITS INCLUDE -- WE GET REGULAR EMAILS WITH EDUCATION CONTENT. UPDATES AROUND FINANCE. THEY ALSO PROVIDE DISTRICT-SPECIFIC DATA AND REPORTS AROUND FINANCE, PROVIDE
STRATEGIC BUDGETING SUPPORTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CDE. WE CAN ATTEND AS DIRECTORS, THERE ARE MONTHLY ADVISORY BOARD MEETINGS WHERE THEY HAVE EDUCATIONAL PRI PRESENTER EACH H AND MEETING SPACE FOR STAFF TO
DISCUSS SCHOOL FINANCIAL ISSUES. THEY HELP SUPPORT THE ADEQUACY STUDY THAT WAS OPPORTUNITY, THEY OFFER TRAINING CONFERENCES THEY HAVE AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE THAT WE HAD STAFF ATTEND THE LAST CONFERENCE THAT THEY HELD. THEY CAN COME AND PRESENT TO SCHOOL BOARD, PROVIDE EDUCATION TO SCHOOL BOARD THROUGH
EDUCATION SESSIONS. AND WE COULD ASK TO THEM TO COME AND PRESENT TO THE BOARD COMMITTEES. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I THINK I'LL JUST NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC THAT STANDS FOR THE SCHOOL FINANCIAL PROJECT. WHAT'S THE "C."
>> COME SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER CSFP THAT HAS TO DO WITH FOOD PROGRAMS. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE STATE BUDGET PROCESS FROM OUR OWN CFO.
AND WE GET A LOST INFORMATION FROM THEM. THAT SAID, THERE MAY SOMEBODY DAY WHERE THERE IS NOT A COMPLICATED LEGISLATIVE BUDGE WROTE CESC FOR EDUCATION, I DON'T FORESEE IT. THIS YEAR WILL BE PARTICULARLY COMPLICATED NEXT YEAR EVEN MORE SO.
THAT AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE -- THAT THERE WILL LIKELY BE AT LEAST ONE BALLOT MEASURE. ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT REGARDING SCHOOL EDUCATION. AT THIS THINK THIS IS A TIME GIVEN THAT WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL CARRYOVER.
TO CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS SO THAT WE GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS A BOARD AS A DISTRICT AS POSSIBLE. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR AGAIN WE GET GREAT INFORMATION FROM THE ADMINISTRATION, BUT HAVING ANOTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN THAT, ESPECIALLY TO EXPLAIN SOME OF THOSE ISSUES, I FIND TO BE
HELPFUL. >> OKAY. WITH A SHOW OF H HANDS CONSENSUS THAT YOU FEEL THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT. ALL RIGHT THINK SO DIRECTOR THOMPSON, IT LOOKS LIKE CSFP MEMBERSHIP AS WELL IS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN. SO THAT REALLY LEAVES TWO TOPIC
AREAS. THE LIVE STREAMING WHICH THANK YOU, TO STAFF FOR PULLING TOGETHER A MEMO FOR THE BOARD ON THIS TOPIC THAT I KNOW WE ASK FOR INFORMATION. IT HAS MULTIPLE OPTIONS LISTED.
WE ARE NOW ALMOST FOUR MINUTES OVER. AND WHAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED. DO WE WANT TO DEDICATE MORE TIME TO TALKING THROUGH THESE OPTIONS NOW? AND THEN ALSO THE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION OPTIONS. OR DO WE WANT TO SCHEDULE THAT PERHAPS FOR THE NEXT STUDY
SESSION TO DIVE INTO? >> I THINK THAT NEEDS IT'S OWN AGENDA SPACE. >> ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO ONE OBJECT TO THAT. I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO IS CONCLUDE THIS CONVERSATION TONIGHT. WE'LL LOOK TO SCHEDULE A LIVE
STREAMING AND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION CONVERSATION FOR A FUTURE BOARD MEETING. DIRECTOR THOMPSON, DID YOU GET EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEEDED ON THE BOARD BUDGET THAN? >> YEAH. AND THE ONLY OTHER NOTE WOULD BE JUST THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE
STEMMY AGENDA FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. AND NORMALLY -- I MEAN, THIS IS A LITTLE EARLY, NORMALLY WE LOOK AT THIS IN MAY. BUT JUST TO KIND OF GIVE THE BOARD AN IDEA OF WHAT OUR -- A TYPICAL BUDGET WOULD LIKE LIKE, WHAT'S ONE-TIME EXPENSES VERSUS
WHAT WE SEE EVERY YEAR AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS POLLING HAPPENING, ET CETERA. AND SO DEPENDING I OKAY THE RESULTS OF POLLING WE HAVE TIME TO COME BACK AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT BUDGE E SO WE CAN PUT IT ON A FEW AIR
AGENDA AS WELL. >> THANK YOU THAT WAS A REALLY HELPFUL DOCUMENT TO HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE BEFORE WE CONCLUDE? NO, SEEING NONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR THOMPSON AND HOPING YOU ARE FEELING BETTER AND CAN STICK WITH US ALL EVENING. BUT GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THIS TOPIC UP A LITTLE EARLIER
IN THE CONVERSATION. SO -- >> THANK YOU. >> WITH THAT -- THANK YOU. WITH THAT, WELL MOVE INTO ITEM 9.1, COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPDATE. IT HAS A 10-MINUTE PRESENTATION,
AND 15-MINUTE Q&A SCHEDULED.
GOOD EVENING WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPDATE. WE'LL START WITH BUDGET UPDATE WHICH WILL BE QUICK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO, BRIAN WILL GO THROUGH THE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION AND
A BENEFITS PROGRAM UPDATE. A LOT OF THIS HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE WE TALK AID COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO, A LOT GOING ON STILL AT THE CAPITOL THERE ALWAYS IS THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
YOU TRY TO NOT GET TOO INTO THE DETAILS AND CONFUSION, WE ARE ALL AUFRPG HUSBANDLY AWAITING THE MARCH FORECAST WHICH WE KNOW WILL BE ADDITIONAL SHORTFALL. BEING DRIVEN BY THE ESCALATING MEDICATE COSTS AND STATE USING
ONE-TIME MONEY TO FUND ONGOING PROGRAM. WHICH THEY ARE HAVING TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS ON THAT PROGRAMMING. NEXT SLIDE IF YOU CAN HELP ME.
SO THESE THINGS ARE STILL -- THIS IS STILL HAPPENING OUT THERE. WE ARE STICKING WITH THE $6.1 MILLION ASSUMED REVENUE AFTER WE SHARE THE CHARTER SCHOOL PIECE OVER TO THEM. WE'LL STICK WITH THAT. UNTIL SOMETHING TELLS YOU WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT ESTIMATE.
IT'S THE BEST THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. SPECIFIC OWNERSHIP TAX WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT IT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT'S GOING DOWN FURTHER ON THEIR LIST OF OPTIONS. THE BAD NEWS IT'S STILL ON THEIR LIST OF OPTIONS.
SMOOTHING FACTOR, THIS WILL POSSIBLY REDUCE -- OR CHANGE THE AVERAGING THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKS OVER BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND SHE LIKES OUR PROPOSAL AND SHE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROPOSAL AND SEE WHAT YEAR IT ENDS UPCOMING IN TO PLAY.
BUT THAT IS MOVING FORWARD. TO LEVEL SET US ON THIS CONVERSATION ON COMPENSATION, WE SAW THIS AGAIN A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO, THIS IS ARE THE PIECES OF OUR FUND BALANCE THINK SO FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TABER AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
RESERVES. IS THOSE ARE BOTH SET AT 3% EACH. TABER IS RECORD BY BOW LOWE WE KEEP IT ON HAND. THE BOARD MIRROR AMOUNT IS AT THE BOARD DISCRETION, WE HAVE
SCHOOL CARRYOVER IN THE ORANGE AND THIS IS RESERVES HELD AT THE SCHOOL TO HELP WITH THEIR ENROLLMENT FLUCTUATIONS, WHAT WE REALLY TALK ABOUT DURING THIS CONVERSATION, IS THAT UNASSIGNED PIECE, THAT'S THAT GRAY AMOUNT. THAT IS OUR RESERVES THAT WE HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS.
AND AS WE CAN WE CONTINUE TO USE FUND BALANCE INTO THE FUTURE, THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THAT IS THAT NUMBER THAT WE ARE WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STAYING WITH ENOUGH RESERVES. BUT PROVIDE FOR THAT SOFTER LANDING.
JUST TO ADD ONTO WHAT JANA SAID THIS CHART REFLECTS SPECIFICALLY THE GRAY. FROM THE LAST CHART IT'S OUR UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE. IN 2018 IT WAS 3% OF EXPENSES.
FOR UNASSIGNED TELL LIKE IT TO BE 5%. THAT'S GOOD PLACE TO BE WE WANT TO SPENT OUR MONEY ON THE KIDS IN FRONT OF US WHICH IS HOW SCHOOL FUNDING IS INTENDED. WE HAVE DONE A STRATEGIC DRAW DOWN OF OUR FUND BALANCE AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO A STRATEGIC
DRAW DOWN OF OUR FUND BALANCE. UNTIL WE GET TO ABOUT THAT 5% NUMBER. WHICH STILL HAS US AHEAD OF WHERE WE WERE IN 2020, 1918, WHICH IS A NORMAL CADENCE FOR UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE.
>> THIS GRAPH IS UPDATED. AND THIS INDICATES OUR MILL LEVEE OVERRIDE. VERSUS OTHER DISTRICTS MILL LEVEE OVERRIDE. SO WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT THAT? WELL, THE SCHOOL FINANCE ACT PROVIDES FOR DOLLARS PER STUDENT FOR EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT. SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO GO TO THEIR LOCAL TAXPAYERS TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO HELP THEM HAVE STUDENT PROGRAMMING THAT MAY MAKE THEIR DISTRICT STAND OUT OR TO PAY THEIR TEACHERS AND STAFF MORE AND SO MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE DONE THAT MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN WE HAVE.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PASSED A MILL LEVEE OVER RIGHT IN 2018 AND 2023, YOU CAN SEE THAT HE REFLECTED IN THE REDLINE OUR MILL LEVEE OVERRIDE HAS ACTUALLY CAUGHT UP TO JEFFCO WHICH IS GREAT. BUT YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHY WE ARE UNABLE TO PAY COMPETITIVELY IN OTHER AREAS.
BECAUSE THAT MILL LEVEE OVERRIDE DOLLARS ARE NOT -- WE ARE NOT RECEIVING THE SAME AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AS OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOXES, THE AVERAGE SAY THE ARE YOU I WAS ASKED WHERE DO WE GET THEM THIS IS ON THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
STAFF STATISTICS PAGE, YOU CAN FIND AVERAGE SALARIES FOR EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS IS NOT INCLUDING CHARTER SCHOOLS, THIS IS JUST THE DISTRICT OPERATED NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. SO YOU CAN SEE OUR AVERAGE
SALARY IS STILL LAGGING BEHIND. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN THAT AREA. WE ARE STILL LAGGING BEHIND. >> THANK YOU.
MOVING IN NBA TO COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION, OUR COMMUNITY, STAFF, HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN HOW WE PAY OUR STAFF. LICENSED EMPLOYEES HAVE SEEN GAMES OF 33%, CLASSIFIED STAFF
HAVE SEEN GAINS OF 28%. AND ADMIN EMPLOYEES GAINS OF OVER 22%. LOOK AT THIS TABLE. THIS IS A COMPARISON OF WHERE WE ARE FROM A LICENSED STARTING SALARY PERSPECTIVE. 22-23 TO TODAY.
YOU CAN SEE KIND OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE. OUR STARTING TEACHER SALARY IS NEARLY 55,000-DOLLARS TODAY BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE REMAIN 7% BELOW OUR MARKET.
SAME STORY WITH REGARD TO OUR AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY. TODAY IS NEARLY $76,000. THAT'S SAKE TEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE FROM THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR. COMPARED TO OUR DENVER METRO MARKET AND PEER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WE ARE 12% BELOW THE MARKET.
NOW IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE AS SUPERINTENDENT C KANE JUST MENTIONED OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVES 35% LESS FUNDING COMPARED TO OUR MARK. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, IF WE ARE 7% WITHIN STARTING SALARY RANGE, AND 12% OF THE MARKET FOR AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY.
IT REALLY SHOWS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE DISTRICT'S COMMITMENT TO TRY TO FUND TEACHER COMPENSATION AND GROW IT WITH THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. BEFORE I GET INTO THE ACTUAL COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS I JUST WANTED TO GROUND THE BOARD IN WHAT OUR SALARY SCHEDULES
LOOK LIKE. THIS IS OUR 25/26 GENERAL SALARY SCHEDULE. THIS IS -- WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 52 OR TWIST 3% OF OUR TEACHERS ARE ON THIS SCHEDULE. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE STEPS, WHICH INDICATE VERTICAL MOVEMENT
DOWN THE SCHEDULE AS YOU GAIN EXPERIENCE. WE HAVE LANES, WHICH REPRESENT HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT ACROSS THE SCHEDULES. AS YOU GAIN EDUCATION, WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL CELLS WITHIN THE SCHEDULE, EACH WELL HAS A SET
SALARY WHICH IS A C COMPOSITE OF EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION, LASTLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT STEP INCREASES IN OUR SCHEDULES ARE NOT UNIFORM. SO LESS -- OR NEWER TEACHERS, WITH SMALLER SALARIES GET HIGHER% STEPS COMPARED TO MORE
TENURED TEACHERS WITH HIGHER SALARIES TO GET LOWER PERCENT STEPS. THE DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 26-27 COME PEN TAKE FOR OUR LICENSED STAFF RECOMMENDING OUR TEACHERS GET STEPS. WHICH IS AS I JUST EXPLAINED IS
AN APPROXIMATE 2% TO 2 1/2% INCREASE. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE TEACHER FALLS IN OUR SCHEDULE UP. THAT'S A $5.5 MILLION COST TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE ALSO HAVE 821 EMPLOYEES WHO ARE AT THE END OF THEIR LANES OUR ON SCHEDULE. S SO IF WE DO NOTHING FOR THE
EMPLOYS, JUST GETTING STEPS, RECEIVING NO SALARY INCREASE. SO WE WERE PROPOSING TO GIVE THEM A ONE-TIME STIPEND EQUAL TO 2% OF THEIR BASE SALARY. THAT'S THE COST OF $1.6 MILLION. WE WE ALSO CON TO HAVE NEARLY 180 EMPLOYEES WHO ARE OVER THEIR
CELL. MEANING THAT COMPARED TO THEIR SIMILARLY SITUATED TEACHERS WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION, THEY ARE BEING PAID MORE THAN THOSE TEACHERS. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THOSE ATTORNEYERS OVER CELL AND NOT RECEIVING ANY SORT OF SALARY
INCREASE OR STIPEND. LAST ARE YOU RECOMMENDING THAT THE TWURPBT 25/26 SALARY SCHEDULES BE READOPT TODAY THE 26 SLASH 27 SCHOOL YEAR AS IS. TOTAL ESTIMATED COST FOR THOSE
LICENSED INNING CAREERS IS $7.1 MILLION. NONLICENSED NONCOMPENSATION, RECOMMENDING 2% INCREASE BASE SALARY FOR THE NONLANCED STAFF.
ESTIMATED COST OF $3.2 MILLION. A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WHO ARE TEND OF THEIR SALARY RANGES. FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES LIKE OUR TEACHERS, RECOMMENDS THAT THEY GET A ONE-TIME STIPEND EQUAL TO 2% OF THEIR BASE MAKER THAT'S A COST OF $130,000.
AND FINE FINALLY 14 EMPLOYEES. IN THE NONLICENSED RANK ABOVE THEIR SALARY. WE RECOMMEND THEY RECEIVE NO INTEREST SOAR STIPE. 23 FOR THE $3 MILLION TOTAL COST. TOTAL COMPENSATION INCREASE COST BETWEEN LICENSED AND NONLICENSED
IS $10.4 MILLION. I'LL QUICKLY GET THROUGH THE BENEFITS SECTION HERE SINCE WE ARE NEARLY OUT OF TIME. WE ARE VERY WELL KNOWN HERE IN THE AREA FOR HAVING VERY COMPETITIVE BENEFITS. OUR BENEFITS CONSULT CAN'T MURCER BENCHMARKS OUR BENEFITS COMPARED TO THE DENVER METRO
MARKET AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM A PREMIUM PERSPECTIVE. LOWER PREMIUMS COMPARED TO OUR MARKET AND WITH THE -- FROM A DEDUCTIBLE PERSPECTIVE. WE HAVE LOWER -- BELOW MARKET OR MARKET FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR MEDICAL PLANS, DCSD ON AVERAGE PAYS 84% OF THE MEDICAL PREMIUM.
FOR OUR MEDICAL PLANS. THE DISTRICT -- OR THE METRO AVERAGE MARKET IS 70%. SO THIS IS A REAL VALUE FOR EMPLOYEES. AND OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF GREAT WORK IN PROTECTING TAKE-ONLY PAY FOR STAFF. AS SUPERINTENDENT CAIN
MENTIONED, WE'LL HAVE BENEFITS COST INCREASES THIS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. BOTTOM RESPECTED CORNER YOU CAN SEASON CREASES OF NEARLY $5 MILLION. THAT IS ALL COME FROM INCREASES FROM OUR UHC PLANS. KAISER WAS A FLAT RENEWAL THIS YEAR.
BUT FOR 26/27, ESTIMATED BETS BENEFITS COSTS NEARLY $76 MILLION. OUR PLANS IN TERMS OF BENEFITS IS TO ABSORB THE FULL COSTS OF THE INCREASES OF $5 MILLION AND, AGAIN, WE LOOK AT THIS AS A VALUE TO OUR STAFF TO PROTECTION
THEIR TAKE HOME PAY. AND ALSO MAKING MINOR PLAN DESIGN CHANGES WITH REGARD TO 1UHC PLAN AND A COUPLE OF KAISER PLANS. NEW FOR 26/27. WE'LL BE OFFERING A LEGAL PLAN,
THIS COULD BE A GREAT VALUE FOR ANY EMPLOYEE LOOKING TO OBTAIN LEGAL SERVICES IN THE 26/27 SCHOOL YEAR. SO FOR THE LOW COST OF $17.50S A MONTH, YOU CAN GAIN ACCESS TO A LICENSED COLORADO ATTORNEY FOR SUCH ISSUES AS STATE MATTERS, CIVIL MATTERS, SO ON AND SO FORTH.
ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS INTERESTED IN GETTING LEGAL SERVICES IN THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR THIS WOULD BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO LOOK INTO. FINALLY, A COUPLE OF OTHER PERKS AND BENEFITS THAT WE ALWAYS OFFER OUR STAFF, WE'LL RECOMMEND CONTINUING THOSE IN THE 26/27
SCHOOL YEAR. HORIZONTAL LANE ADVANCEMENT, TUITION ASSISTANCE, ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION, SCHEDULE "A" AND "B", FREE LUNCHES AND BASE DAY-CARE DISCOUNTS THAT WITH THAT I WILL GIVE IT BACK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO CLOSE US OUT. THE. >> OUR APOLOGIES FOR RUN OVER I
WILL ON DO BETTER EFFORT MATING NEXT TIME A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL, SO AS WE MENTIONED WE HAVE ABOUT $6 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL REVENUE COMING IN. SPENDING 5 MILLION JUST TO KEEP BENEFITS OUR STAFF WITHOUT PASSING PREMIUM INCREASES ON SO
THE RECOMMENDED SALARY CHANGES ARE PUTTING US OVER WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN NEW REVENUE. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF SUMMARIZED RIGHT HERE. WE RECOMMEND TO CONTINUE TO DRAW DOWN FUND BALANCE, UNDERSTANDING THAT AS WE TALK ABOUT IN THE
PREVIOUS MEETING WE HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY RIGHT SIZED BY 26 -- OR 27/28 SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY THE PLAN, THE GROWTH AND DECLINE PROCESS HAS CAUSED KIND A TEMPORARY BUMP BUT WE'LL
GET OUR STAFF RIGHT SIZED FOR 27/28 AND GET BACK IN BALANCE. I THINK THAT'S A CONCLUSION AND I AM HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. WE ALL ARE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS WAS A VERY INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION.
AND REALLY IMPORTANT PRESENTATION. SO WE HAVE ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO TO GO THROUGH Q ASK &A AND WE A RESOLUTION TO PASS, WE'LL COVER THE CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FIRST. DIRECTOR GEIGER FIRST OF ALL,
CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT PERSONAL OF OUR BUDGE SET PAYING OUR PEOPLE? >> 85%. >> OKAY. AND SO WHEN SOMEBODY CHERRY PICKS INCREASES IN OUR BIN EVERY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IT'S PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE VOTERS TOLD TO US PAY OUR TEACHERS
MORE, RIGHT? >> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. AND ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE HAVE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE EFFICIENCY THAT RCHRO TALKED ABOUT, THAT EFFICIENCY OF EVEN THOUGH WE ARE 32% LESS RENEW WE ARE WITHIN 12 PARISIAN OF THE MARKET. IS THAT WE HAVE FEWER EMPLOYEES.
RELATIVE TO ENROLLMENT. THAN OUR PEER DISTRICTS. >> IS IT ALSO TRUE THAT WE HAVE SEEN ALMOST DIRECTOR LAYING IN THE AMOUNT OF TURNOVER IN OUR LICENSED STAFF SINCE WE HAVE INCREASED OUR SALARIES? >> YES, OUR TURNOVER HAS GONE FROM ABOUT 26% TO ABOUT 13%.
>> AND THERE IS A BUDGET SAVINGS ON THAT AS WELL, C EFFECT? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> NOT HAVING TO TRAIN AND HIRE NEW TEACHERS HAS SAVED US MONEY, CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> SEE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHERRY PICK NUMBERS WITHOUT KNOWING THE BACKGROUND, I APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US WITH THE HISTORY. I HAVE NO FURTHER.
>> NEXT WE HAVE DIRECTOR DENZLER. SORRY. DENZLER. >> THANK YOU. JUST SO THAT I UNDERSTAND, THE E BASED ON SCHEDULE PLACEMENT IS TOP OF LIKE YOU GOING UP A STEP?
>> NO, IS 2 FOR 2 1/2% IS GOING UP A STEP. >> I SEE. >> IF WE WERE TO BRING ENTIRE SALARY SCHEDULE UP THAT'S JUST WELL OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE. >> SURE, I WAS CONFUSED ON IT. >> EVERYONE GETS AN INCREASE. SO IT IS NOT A PAY FREEZE, THAT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR PLEA TO
AS MANY PASS WAYS AS A POSSIBLY CAN, PHILOSOPHICALLY I WOULD RATHER REDUCE THE HEAD COUNT THAN IMPLEMENT A PAY FREEZE THAT DESTROYS MORALE FOR YOUR ENTIRE WORKFORCE. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING. >> DIRECTOR CALLAHAN.
>> THE -- THIS IS ASSUMING A AN ADDITIONAL $6 MILLION IN REV REVENUE. HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THAT ISN'T REALIZED? >> YES, IF THAT IS NOT REALIZED, FRANKLY WELL HAVE TO USE FUND BALANCE LONGER.
OR MAKE FURTHER CUTS. AGAIN I WOULD RATHER REDUCE HEAD COUNT THAN PUT IN PAY FREEZES. SO FOR US IT WAS A RISK WORTH TAKING EVERY TIME WE DECIDE SALARY INCREASES BEFORE THE SCHOOL FINANCE ACT PASSES, WE ARE TAKING A RISK.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE FUND BALANCE WILL BE USED FOR THAT. WHERE DOES THAT TAKE THE FUND BALANCE? >> YOU MEAN IN DIRECTOR CALLAHAN'S SCENARIO? >> YES. >> THAT WOULD TAKE US TO ABOUT THE 5%. >> OKAY. AND THEN IF WE DO GET THE
6 MILLION, THE 7% WOULD STAY 7% OR -- >> BY 27/28 WHEN WE ARE RIGHT SIZED, IT SHOULD. >> SO IF WE STAY WITH THIS PLAN -- SO IF WE PASS THE
COMPENSATION AS WE DISCUSSED, IT WOULD MOVE IT DOWN TO 6%. AND THEN WE WOULD RIGHT SIZE IT AFTER THAT. AND WE WOULD SETTLE AROUND FIVE OR 6%. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> WHAT IF WE DON'T PASS THIS,
WHAT HAPPENS? >> SO IF YOU DO NOT PASS THIS TONIGHT, THEN WE WON'T BE A ILL TO COMMUNICATE TO OUR EMPLOYEE WHAT TO EX-SPENT GOING INTO NEXT YEAR. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE DO COME PEP SAYING CHANGES NOW,
THERE IS TWO BIG REASONS, NUMBER ONE, IS SO RIGHT NOW, WHEN THE MARKET IS HOT AND OPEN, OUR EMPLOYEES KNOW WITH SOME CERTAINTY WHAT NEXT YEAR WILL LOOK LIKE FOR THEM. IF THEY DON'T THEY MAY FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER POSITION IN ANOTHER DISTRICT. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO, WE NEED TO KNOW
WHAT OUR SCHEDULES ARE AS WE ARE HIRING NEW TEACHERS INTO THE DISTRICT. >> DIRECTOR RYAN DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> THE BENEFITS ROLLING IS NOT PART OF THE REVOLUTION US JUST FOR THE SALARIES?
>> CORRECT. >> OKAY. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON? NOT SURE IF YOU ARE -- >> THANK YOU. I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE CLARIFICATION ERIN, BUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WOULD RATHER
REDUCE HEAD COUNT, I AM ASSUMING THAT WE FIRST MEAN OPEN POSITIONS, CORRECT? >> YES, DIRECTOR THOMPSON WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT ELIMINATING VACANT POSITIONS FIRST BEFORE
ACTUALLY -- YEAH. >> OKAY, ARE THERE ANY OTHER -- DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> WHAT -- WHAT DID YOU ALL USE FOR YOUR COST OF LIVING -- WHAT PERSONAL DID YOU LOOK AT FOR THE
COST OF RISK ADJUSTMENT WHEN MAKING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS? >> I AM NOT SURE I FOLLOW. WE ARE NOT MAKING A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT PER SE. WE ARE DOING THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST THAT WE CAN DO.
THE COST OF -- WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE COST OF LIVING OF COURSE FRANKLY. >> GOT IT. I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT -- THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH COST OF BIG.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON SLIGHT NUMBER SIX INCOME WHERE IT SHOWS SCHOOL CARRYOVER. CAN YOU SPEAK TO HOW SCHOOL CARRYOVER IS MANAGED AND --
YEAH. HOW IS IT MANAGED? >> SURE. BECAUSE WE DO SITE-BASED BUDGETING. WE ALLOW EACH SCHOOL TO BUDGET ON -- BASED ON THEIR ANTICIPATED ENROLLMENT. WE TRUE IT UP IN OCTOBER. SO OUR SCHOOLS OFTEN KEEP A LITTLE BIT I'VE CUSHION THAT
THEY DON'T INCLUDE IN OUR BUDGET IN KASEN ROLE THINK IS LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED IT'S ALSO A REFLEX OF OUR SITE-BASED BUDGETING FORMULA. SO WE HAVE TRIED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS TO REALLY GET EQUITABLE WITH OUR FORMULA, THINKING OF FACTORS IT LIKE THE
SIZE OF THE SCHOOL. ECONOMY OF SCALE AND THOSE THINGS IT'S A REFLECTION THAT WE HAVE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE CAN MAKE, WOULD YOU LAKE TO ADD ANYTHING. >> THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR. ARE THERE ADJUSTMENTS WEED NEED
TO MAKE TO THE SITE-BASED BUDGET ARE SOME SCHOOLS GETTING MORE THAN THEY NEED BALLS OF THEIR NUMBER OF KIDS IN THAT SCHOOL THEY HAVE LARGE ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE SMALL THAT MAYBE WE CAN DO BETTER AT ALLOCATING THE RIGHT AMOUNT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT RESOURCES AT THE
RIGHT TIME. >> ANY OTHER CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, SEE NONE, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION REGARDING APPROVING COMPENSATION
INCREASES FOR THE 2026/2027 SCHOOL YEAR. >> MOVE TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. >> SECOND. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR GEIGER AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR CALLAHAN THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE RESOLUTION REGARDING COMPENSATION INCREASES FOR THE
2026/WENT TO SEVEN SCHOOL YEAR. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> THIS IS -- I FOLLOWED A LOT OF THESE IN MY ROLE AS I COMMITTEE MEMBER. THIS IS MY SECOND YEARLY DEALING WITH THIS.
IT IS VERY EASY TO TAKE THE MOST BASIC POSSIBLE NUMBERS AND ASK HOW COME WE ARE SPENDING MORE THAN WE USED TO OR WHY OUR SPENDING HAS GONE UP OVER INFLATION THE REALITY IS WE ARE CATCHING UP. WE SPENT A LOT OF YEARS NOT PAYING OUR TEACHERS. COMPETITIVE SALARY.
SPENT A LOT OF YEARS NOT PAYING OUR OTHER STAFF COMPETITIVE SALARIES. THOSE DECISION MADE BY PRIOR BOARDS. IN '23. WE WENT TO THE VOTERS AND WE DELIBERATELY ASKED THEM IS THAT HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED AND THE VOTERS, VERY CLEARLY SAID, NO.
WE ARE GOING TO PAY MORE AND WE ARE GOING TO COLLECT MORE. SO IF YOU JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH WE ARE SPENDING. , YEAH, WE ARE SPENDING MORE AND INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE. IT IS THE EASIEST THING FOR THE WORLD TO SAY, OH, SCHOOL BUDGETS WENT UP. IT'S A HARDER THING TO ACTUALLY
UNDERSTAND WHY AND WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHO WE ARE INVESTING IN AND HOW MUCH THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTS OUR KIDS IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TEACHERS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF THE TURNOVER, STUDENTS ARE GOING TO WHCHERRY WEEK BECAUSE THE TEACHR GOING TO CHERRY CREEK OR
LITTLETON THAT IMPACT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. I WILL CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT MAINTAINING FARRAH APPROPRIATE AND MARC RATE SALARIES. BASIC CAPITALISM. FOR OUR TEACHERS IS IMPORTANT.
AND I APPRECIATE THE STAFF HAS SHARED THAT POSITION AND WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE IT WORK EVEN INCREDIBLY TOUGH BUDGET TIMES. THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS LAYING OFF HUNDREDS OF EM PLAY IS. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN WAY.
AND THOUGHTFUL AND THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE PUBLIC BELIEVES THAT PAYING TEACHERS WE ARE NOT IN THAT SITUATION. THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST A REFLECTION OF THAT VALUE. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR GEIGER. OTHER DIRECTORS ANY DISCUSSION? DIRECTOR DEFENSE HER.
>> I THINK ON THIS I REALLY FIND MYSELF TORN BETWEEN A HEAD DECISION AND A HEART DECISION. THE STARK REALITY IS THAT WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. I REALIZE THAT, I ACCEPT THAT. THE 2026/27 SALARY SCHEDULE IS THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO IN THIS MOMENT.
BUT I DO WANT TO CONVEY THE FACT THAT IT'S KISS DISCOURAGING, DISCOURAGING THAT MUCH THE GAINS TWO THE 2023MLO HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT BY INFLATION AND TARIFFS AND THE RISING COST OF LIVING. THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO PROJECTED THAT INFLATION CAN REACH 3 1/2% THIS YEAR AND IF
THEY ARE CORRECT THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY DEVASTATING FOR EDUCATORS. AND YET AGAIN, WE ARE WHERE WE ARE ULTIMATELY CLEAR IS KIND FOR OUR EDUCATORS. AND I THINK THAT PASS THIS IS TONIGHT IS A KINDNESS SO THAT THEY CAN EVALUATE WHAT WILL BE
BEST FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE AND SERVE IN THAT COMMUNITY. I AM DISCOURAGED THAT WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. I AM HOPEFULLY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW AND WILLING TO WORK FOR THAT. BUT I WANT TO OFFER OUR EDUCATORS THE BENEFIT OF CLARITY
IN PASSING THIS NOW. >> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR DEFENSE HER. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? DIRECTOR C CALLAHAN. >> I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS PRESENTATION AND THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF HOW WE
CAN COMPENSATE FOLKS IN 26/27. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT FOLLOW MANY OF OUR EDUCATORS. THEIR THEIR SAL SALARIES NEXT YEAR WILL NOT BUY AS MUCH AS THEY DID THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE
ARE NOT KEEPING UP WITH INFLATION. I THINK THAT UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT WE REALLY CONSIDER THE NEXT MILL LEVEE AND SO SO THAT WE CAN COMPENSATE OUR
EDUCATORS IN A WAY THAT AT LEAST KEEPS UP WITH INFLATION WHICH WE ARE FALLING SHORT OF THIS YEAR. >> THANK YOU, OTHER COMMENTS?
DIRECTOR THOMPSON I CAN'T TELL, SO FEEL FREE TO JUST SPEAK UP IF YOU WANTS TO SHARE, DIRECTOR PARKER? DIRECTOR RYAN? NO. OKAY. WITH THAT, I WILL CALL ROLL FOR THE RESOLUTION.
DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR RYAN. >> AYE. >> AND DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> AYE. >> OKAY.
THE MOTION PASSES 7-0. WITH THAT, WE ARE RUNNING AHEAD, SO WE WILL MOVE INTO A 10-MINUTE RECESS. AND THE BOARD WILL TAKE A GRIEF RECESS FOR 10 MINUTES AND
RECONVENE THEN. >> WE ARE BACK TO ORDER NOW RECONVENED FOLLOWING RECESS, SO AT THIS POINT, WE ARE AT ITEM 9.2. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 51 BOUNDARY
DETERMINATION BRIEF. AND WE HAVE A 10-MINUTE PRESENTATION AND 10-MINUTE Q&A. >> GOOD EVENING, JACKY MILLETT, CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER, JOINED BY OUR PLANNING MANAGER, SHERRON CALDWELL. I AM GOING TO KEEP IT GRIEF BACK HE HAVE TO GET TO THE PLAIN
SHOW, IT'S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN WITH ELEMENTARY 51 JUST IN ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTY. EXCITED TO PRESENTS WHAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WILL BE GOING OUT TO THE WILL YOU BE WICK THE NEW DOWNTOWN ARE YOUS FOR OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATED IN THE STERLING RANCH COMMUNITY WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER FOR OUR
PLANNING MANAGER. >> GOOD EVENING, DIRECTORS I THINK JACKIE INTRODUCED IT ACCURATELY SO HERE IS JUST A QUICK AGENDA. I AM GOING TO GO OVER BACKGROUND OF THIS PROJECT THE PROCESS AND WORK TO DATE. SHOW EVERYBODY OUR RECOMMENDED BOUNDARY SCENARIO THAT WE
PROPOSE TAKING TO THE COMMUNITY DURING OUR OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT GO OVER THE OUTREACH ENGAGEMENT PLAN AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF APPENDICES I'LL GO OVER REALLY QUICKLY. SO THIS IS JUST REMAINING EVERYBODY OF THE WHY OF THIS PROCESS.
SO AS WE ALL KNOW, THE 2024 BOND APPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IN THE STERLING RANCH DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE AIMING TO HAVE A BOUNDARY DECIDED AND ADOPTED BY JUNE 2026. SO WE CAN NOTIFY PARENTS OVER
THE SUMMER AND THEY KNOW WHAT EL ROLL AND TRANSPORTATIONS OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM WHEN THEY STARTING TO ENROLLING FOR 2027/28 SCHOOL YEAR. IN NOVEMBER 2026. AND THEN THE WHY FOR THIS PROCESS, THAT WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT IS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING
TO DO THE ANALYSIS, INTERNAL VETTING AND OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT. THAT WILL INFORM THE FINAL BOUNDARY OPTION RECOMMENDED TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. THIS IS A REMINDER OF THE WHY THE NEED FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
51. JUST AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL THERE IS SEVEN TEAM THOUSAND ENTITLED UNITS FOR THE CHATFIELD VALLEY AREA BETWEEN STERLING RANCH DEVELOPMENT AND THE SOLSTICE DEVELOPMENT AND WE ARE ABOUT A QUARTER BUILT OUT RIGHT NOW. SO WE HAVE UNDER 4,000 OCCUPIED
UNITS OF THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT TO COME AND A LOT OF KID TO A THINK DO IT'S DA. THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS WE ARE HERE IN THE FEBRUARY, MARCH AREA GETTING
READY TO DO OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT WE HAVE VETTED THE BOUNDARIES ALTERNATIVE WE WANT TO VET THEM EXTERNAL YOU. THE PLAN IT WORK IT THE INTERNAL PLANNING TEAM, CHASE TEAMMATE UP OF ABOUT 30 STAFF MEMBERS, ACCOUNT LONG RAIN PLANNING COMMITTEE AND CABINET, TO PERFORM THIS OUTREACH AND
ENGAGEMENT AND INCORPORATE INPUT AND FEEDBACK AS WE WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND COME BACK TO YOU, IN THE MAY, JUNE, BOARD MEETINGS WITH WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT ADJUSTMENTS WE WERE
ABLE TO MAKE TO THIS -- TO THE PROPOSED BOUNDARY. HERE SAY REMINDER OF THE CRITERIA. THAT WE EVALUATED THE BOUNDARY OPTIONS AGAINST. THESE ARE DETERMINED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THAT INTERNAL PLANNING TEAM.
WE HAVE SIX OVERARCHING THEMES, THIS SHOWS WHAT THE THEME AND CRITERIA IS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. THOUSAND WE INTERPRET THAT, WHAT IT MEANS, AND THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE MOTORCYCLE RICK WE USE TO EVALUATE HOW THESE
DIFFERENT BOUNDARY OPTIONS STACKED UP AGAINST THE CRITERIA. AND THEN I AM GOING TO PAUSE AND SPEND A LITTLE TIME HERE. JUST SO EVERYBODY IS ORIENTED.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING HERE IS HIGHWAY 85. IS THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE GOING NORTH AND SOUND THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE CHATFIELD VALLEY RESERVOIR. TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE OF THE PAGE, THEN WE HAVE THIS
COLOR-CODED BY ATTENDANCE AREAS. THIS IS THE CURRENT ASSIGNMENT. RED, ALL THE RED AREAS ARE ASSIGNED TO TRAILBLAZER. THE BLUE AREAS ARE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO COYOTE CREEK. AND THE GREEN AREAS ARE ASSIGNED TO ROXBOROUGH AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S SWISS CHEESE, SO THIS
IS -- THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TO DO OVER THE LAST FIVE TO SIX YEARS. TO ACCOMMODATE AND PROVIDE SEATS IN OUR EXISTING FACILITIES AND THEN ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIGH THAT'S THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES,
BUT WE JUST ADDED THE GROWTH AND DECLINE. BOUNDARY CHANGES TO THAT. SO WE WANTED TO TRY TO NOT TOUCH THOSE BOUNDARIES AGAIN. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST MEETING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 50, THAT WAS ONE OF OUR GOALS, SO AS
YOU CAN SEE, THE GROWTH AND DECLINE CLANG MATE THERE. THE CONSOLIDATION AND THE AREA IN RED IS BEING REASSIGNED TO NORTH RIDGE. AND ALL OF THE BOUNDARY OPTIONS THAT WE EVALUATED, NONE OF THEM HAVE A RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL
REASSIGNMENT TO THOSE AREAS THAT WERE JUST REASSIGNED LAST YEAR. SO THIS IS THE PREFERRED SCENARIO. WE LOOKED AT 10 DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AS HOW MANY WE ENDED UP EVALUATING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH THE METRICS OF EACH OF THOSE HERE IN A MINUTE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT CAME OUT ON TOP THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING. IN SUMMARY, IT IS ASSIGNING ALL KNOWN AREAS OF NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND -- TO THE NEW SCHOOL.
TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 51. WHAT WE MEAN BY THAT IS ANY NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS BEEN PRELIMINARY PLANNED OR PLOTT PLOTTED THAT AT THE KNOW WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE, THEY HAVE AN ACTIVE I HAVE
APPLICATION IN THE COUNTY WHERE THAT SHOWS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE STREET NETWORK IS, HOW MANY HOUSING UNITS, WE HAVE INFORMATION ON IT, THAT AROUSE US TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AS TO WHERE THAT -- WHERE IS MAKES SENSE TO HAVE THAT DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNED.
WE ARE PROPOSING ALL THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT IS ZONED THAT'S INNING TIGHT THAT WOULD WE KNOW IS COMING. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE YET. AS A T.B.D. ASSIGNMENT. SO UNTIL WE ACTUALLY ARE GETTING
CLOSE TO A HOME ACTUALLY BEING BUILT IF THE AREA WE PROPOSE THAT WE WOULD ASSIGN THE AREA AT THAT TIME. ADDITIONAL AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY 85 IN CLOSER PROXIMATE I BELIEVE AT THIS TO COYOTE CREEK ARE REASSIGNED FROM ROXBOROUGH TO COYOTE CREEK.
AREAS WEST OF KENDRICK CASTILLO WAY WE ARE PROPOSING ARE REASSIGNED FROM NORTHRIDGE ELEMENTARY TO TRAILBLAZER ELEMENTARY AND I'LL TALK ABOUT WHY WE ARE PROPOSE THAT GO HERE IN A MINUTE. EYED OF CHATFIELD RED VOICE WE
FELT OF HIGHWAY 85 BE REASSIGNED FROM ROCKS BORE TOE TRAIL BLAZERS JUST BECAUSE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THEM TO BE ASSIGNED ROCKS BORROWER THEY ARE CLOSER TO TRAILBLAZER. I DID WANT TO POINT OUT I SAID ALL AREAS OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNED TO EL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 51 THAT'S WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JUAN AREA OF NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT IS WITHIN THE ONE MILE WALK ZONE OF ROCK BORROW THINK WE WOULD NOT
RECOMMEND ASSIGNING THAT TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL AS IT'S IN THE ONE-MILE WALK ZONE. THIN THEN THIS IS JUST SUMMARIZING, WE STARTED WITH LOOKING AT ENROLLMENT. TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE TITLE FLAWS IN THESE SCENARIOS, JUST
KNOWING THAT IT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR US TO DROP THE ENROLLMENT OF ANY OF OUR EXISTING SCHOOLS DOWN BELOW 300 IF WE CAN HELP IT. AND ALSO, WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THOSE INSTANCES WHERE WE ARE EXCEEDING BLOWING OUT THE
CAPACITY OF THE NEW SCHOOL. OPTION "H" IS THE PREFERRED OPTION. AND THEN THERE IS A LITTLE KIND OF SUMMARY OF WHAT EACH OF THESE SCENARIOS ARE DOING. AND HOW -- AND WHAT IS CAUSING
THE BALANCE AND IMBALANCES IN ENROLLMENT. AND THEN I THINK THIS IS IN ADDITION FROM THE -- AN ADDITIONS FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 50 PRESENTATION, THEY ARE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. THAT METRIC RIGHT THERE IS TELLING US THE AVERAGE DEVIATION
FROM MEAN ENROLLMENT ACROSS ALL SCHOOLS AND ACROSS ALL YEARS. SO BASICALLY THE LOWER THAT NUMBER, THE BETTER AND THE MORE BALANCED ENROLLMENT. I DID WANT TO POINT OUT. AS YOU CAN SEE "H" IS MODERATELY
BALANCED ENROLLMENT IS HOW WE EXPLAIN IT. IN COMPARISON TO SOME OF THESE THAT HAVE VERY BALANCED ENROLLMENT WITH THE METRICS IN THE 20s. THE TRADE OFF THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THERE, IS YOU WERE TO LOOK AT AT A MAP OF THE OPTIONS
A TRADE OFF IS IS LESS TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY AS YOU TRY TO BALANCE ENROLLMENT MORE YOU PULL AREAS FURTHERER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM THAT SCHOOL INTO THE ATTENDANCE I CAN'T IRRELEVANT AND YOU CAN SEE A DECLINE IN TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY.
SO THE MAJORITY OF THESE ONES OS WITH VERY BALANCED ENROLLMENT ARE OPTIONS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT LINK PORTIONS OF SOLSTICE ASSIGNED TO EITHER OR BOTH COYOTE CREEK OR TRAILBLAZER.
AND THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF HOW THE PREFERRED OPTION PERFORMED AGAINST ALL THE CRITERIA. SO FOR SAFETY, PROXIMITY AND ACCESSIBILITY, THE WAY THAT WE DID THIS IS BASICALLY COMPARED HOW THE SCENARIO PERFORMED IN
COMPARISON TO CURRENT STATE. THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE ARE EXPLAINING THESE IS HOW THEY ARE PERFORMING IN COMPARISON TO CURRENT STATE. SO THIS SCENARIO DOES IMPROVE OVERALL PROXIMITY TO ALL OF THE SCHOOLS. CONSIDERED. CURRENTLY OVER 61% OF THE
HOUSEHOLDS, BE FOR ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS, COYOTE CREEK, TRAILBLAZERS, AND ROXBOROUGH ARE ASSIGNED TO THE COOL CLOSEST TO THEM. THE PROPOSED AREA WOULD ASSIGN 80% OF HOUSEHOLDS. AND I THINK I NEED TO FINISH UP, DON'T I? [ LAUGHTER ]
>> ALL RIGHT. SO IN GENERAL, IT ADDED 0-1 GENERAL ED ROUTES. THAT WAS GOOD. IT WAS A MODERATELY BALANCED ENROLLMENT OPTION. IT OFFERED THE MOST BALANCE ENROLLMENT OF THOSE SCENARIOS THAT RESOLVED THE OVERFLOW
BUSING SYSTEMS, ONE OF TWO SCENARIOS THAT BEST ALIGNED WITH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD EXPENSE. THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN GET MORE ALIGNED IS ASSIGNING THAT AREA THAT IS IN THE ONE MILE ROXBOROUGH WALK ZONE TO THE NEW ELEMENT TRY SCHOOL.
AND THEN IT DOES LEAVE ADEQUATE SPACE FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT'S REALLY IT. THE LAST THING IS A SCHEDULE FOR EIGHT REACH AND ENGAGEMENT. AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR IF NOT THE SAME TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 50.
AND I WILL END WITH THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND ALL THE ANALYSIS, STEREOS, IT'S VERY COMPLETE AND COMPLEX W THAT I OPEN IT UP FOR QUALIFYING QUESTIONS, WE HAVE 10 MINUTES
SCHEDULED FOR THIS. AND ALSO DIRECTOR THOMPSON NEEDED TO LEAVE THE MEETING. SHE WAS NOT FEELING WELL. EVERYONE IS SHY THIS EVENING. >> WORKS FOR US.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> MAYBE INTERIM VERY ARE THERE ARE NOT A TON OF QUESTIONS COMING OUT. I KNOW THE END OF THE PRESENTATION HAD THE OUTREACH SCHEDULE.
MAYBE IT'S WORTH SPEAKING TO THAT A FEW MINUTES. >> SO WE WOULD LIKE TO -- ONCE WE GET YOUR FEEDBACK TONIGHT, LAUNCH A WEBSITE. GET A WEB PRESENCE UP AND START PLANNING TOWN HALL TYPE IN
PERSON AND VIRTUAL OPTION. TO BE HELD IN MARCH. SO THAT WOULD WOULD BE OUR MINE PRIMARY WAY OF REACHING PEOPLE. AND THEN HAVING AN ADDITIONAL SECOND ONE. IN THE APRIL TIME FRAME BEFORE
WE BRING IT TO YOU IN MAY AND JUNE. TOWN HALL TYPE OPTIONS, VIRTUAL OPTIONS, NOTIFYING EVERYBODY WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA, SO THAT WOULD BE EVERYBODY IN THE ATTENDANCE AREA OF THESE THREE SCHOOLS, FOUR SCHOOLS, AND
THAT'S ABOUT IT. WE WOULD LOVE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. SECOND PTO -- OR ALSO PRESENTATIONS WOULD BE ON THERE. >> JUST TO CONFIRM, THIS WOULD COME BACK TO THE BOARD IN JUNE. FOR A VOTE.
AND ESSENTIALLY IT'S NOT TAKING PLACE FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. IT WOULD BE THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR. THAT IT WOULD TAKE PLACE. >> YES, FALL OF 2027, WHEN THE SCHOOL OPENED. AND THE OTHER THING I THINK IS WORTH NOTING IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN VETTED THROUGH THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THIS IS THEIR RECOMMENDATION
AS WELL FOR THE PREFERRED SCENARIO. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> IT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO SAY IN THIS HAS BEEN VETTED THROUGH THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMISSION. WE FIRST STARTED THE DISCUSSION ABOUT REBOUNDERRING IN WEST HIGHLANDS RANCH IN 2017.
PERHAPS 2016, AS OPPOSED TO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE REBOUNDERRING ON ES50. WE TRIED TO MAKE IT CLEAR, VERY CLEAR, AND AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CONSOLIDATION IF IN THAT AREA, PARTICULARLY ADDLE RANCH AND EL DORADO IS THAT OTHER CHANGES WOULD BE NECESSARY,
LONG-RANGE PLAN IS HAS FOUR YEARS, NOTED THAT THE BUILDING OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN STERLING RANCH AS NECESSARY AS IT IS, WOULD IMPACT OTHER SCHOOLS. I THINK THE VETTING OF THIS HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY DETAILED, DONE WITH GREAT DEAL OF CARE.
AND CONCERN, I KNOW THAT IT IS CONSIDERED THE INPUT OF THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE FOR EVEN LONG ARE THAN I WAS. SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF THIS IT. I WILL BE VERY FASCINATED TO SEE WHERE THE FEEDBACK COMES FROM,
WE HAVE SOME EXTRAORDINARILY VOCAL PEOPLE IN STERLING RANCH WHO I AM SURE WILL GIVE US SOME PIP YOU THE THE I SUSPECT WE'LL HEAR FROM NORTHRIDGE AS WELL. SO FOR ME IT'S AN APPRECIATION THAT WE ARE APPROACHING A RESOLUTION ON AN ISSUE THAT WAS
IDENTIFIED MAPP MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. AND I THINK DOING IT IN A WAY THAT IS THOUGHT. , CONSIDERATE, WILL NOT PREVENT DISRUPTION, BUT IT WILL MINIMIZE IT AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> YOU ARE PLANNING ON MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL PROGRAM ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEES FOR ALL THE IMPACTED SCHOOLS. >> I AM REALIZING IT WAS ELEMENTARY 51 BUT MISSED ON HERE, THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL PLAYER.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE WANT TO EXTEND OUR THANKS FOR ALL THE ANALYSIS AND THE UPDATE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN ON THIS TOPIC IN JUNE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY THIS EVENING. I THINK EVERYONE IS HERE FOR OUR
NEXT SESSION. SO WE ARE MOVING INTO ITEM NUMBER 10, ON POLICY GOVERNANCE. AS A REMINDER THIS PORTION OF THE AGENDA FOCUSES ON THE BOARD'S GOVERNANCE ROLE. HOW WE SET DIRECTS, MONITOR PERFORMANCE AND ENSURE
ACCOUNTABILITY ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY. THE FIRST ITEM IS EN IT .1 THE BOARD POLICY JI C.J. A, STUDENT USE OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES IN SCHOOL.
THIS IS A SECOND READING. I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WE ARE NOT VOTING ON IN THIS EVENING. FUN THIS POLICY AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECEIVE AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS PASS AND I BELIEVE MAKING THE DECISION. IT'S A SECOND READING BUT WE ARE NOT TAKING A VOTE IN EVENING ON
THIS POLICY. THE PRESENTATIONS IS SCHEDULED FOR 10 MINUTES WITH A 20-MINUTE Q&A FOLLOWING. >> GOOD EFFECTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT WE HAVE A TEAM OF STAFF.
I WANT TO THANK FOAM EXPEDITIOUSLY AND SAFELY GETTING HERE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. SO THANK YOU. ALONG THOSE LINES, I'VE GOT A BRIEF FEW SLIDES TO WORK THROUGH WITH THE BOARD. AND THEN WE'LL ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF Q&A.
SINCE OUR LAST CONVERSATION THE BOARD ASKED GREAT QUESTIONS IN JANUARY AND WE SUBMITTED A MEMORANDUM. ANSWERING A NUMBER OF THOSE QUESTIONS. AND SO THE NEXT FEW SLIDES JUST VERY BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE ISSUES BROUGHT UP AND THE ANSWERS GIVEN.
AND SOME OF COURSE WE ARE HAPPY TO EXPAND ON ANY OF THE ANSWERS AS THE BOARD WISHES. ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT CAME UP WITH LAPTOPS. THEY ARE COMPLICATED FOR THE REASONS WE ALL CAN THINK OF, ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT CALM UP ACTUALLY WITH THE BOARD
MEMBER AFTERWARD, WAS WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD ACTUALLY EXCLUDE LAPTOPS FROM THE DEFINITION TOTALLY. SUCH THAT IT JUST GOT RID OF ANN ENFORCEMENT ISSUE FOR OUR STAPH
AND SO THE POLICY IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED. 4R57 TOPS ARE IN THERE. AND THE VALUE IS THAT IT EMPOWERS OUR STAFF TO ENFORCE NO LAPTOPS OR TO SAY YES, WE NEED A LAPTOP FOR WHATEVER WE ARE DOING. KEEPING LAPTOPS IN THE
CONVERSATION CERTAINLY HAS VALUE. SCHOOL DAY RESTRICTIONS AND FIELD TRIPS LITTLE PRIMARY RESTRICTION FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL -- SORRY, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IS BELL TO BELL. BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND CAN SET THEIR OWN
RULES AND SCHOOLS CAN SET THEIR OWN RULES FOR FIELD TRIPS. UNDER THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION OF THE POLICY. IN TERM OF HIGH SCHOOL FLEXIBILITY BROUGHT UP BY THE BOARD, THAT A STRICTER BAN COULD
RESTRICT KIDS WHO NEED THEIR COMMUNICATION DEVICES TO HANDLE WORK SITUATIONS OR PICK UP SITUATIONS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE. SO THERE IS AS THE POLICY IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED AND AN ALLOWANCE FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOLKIDS TO USE THEIR
COMMUNICATION DEVICES DURING PASSING PERIODS AND DURING LUNCHTIME. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE A DESPAIR IT'S IMPACT BECAUSE OF ANY RESTRICTION AS THE POLICY IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED. WE DO EXPECT MINIMAL IMPACT IF
THE POLICY IS DRAFTED IS ADOPTED. FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THESE RESTRICTIONS VERY MUCH LIVE CURRENTLY IN ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS. WE DO ANTICIPATE HIGH SCHOOL, HAVING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN
IMPACT. PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE SCHOOLS WHO DON'T HAVE A UNIFORM POLICY. WE HAVE A FEW. WE ALSO WOULD ANTICIPATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE SOME -- SOME IMPACT AS TO SMART WATCHES. SMART WATCHES LIKE LAPTOPS ARE A
LITTLE COMPLICATED. AND WE DO ANTICIPATE IMPACT FROM THAT ACROSS THE LEVELS. IF YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN, MR. BLARE. THE POLICY CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR A DECENT AMOUNT OF DISCRETION
FOR SCHOOL TO DECIDE THINGS LIKE WHERE ARE COMMUNICATION DEVICES STORED. INCLUDING DISCIPLINE BUT THE BOARD ASKS A GREAT QUESTIONS ABOUT SORT OF STANDARDIZATION OR A FAIRNESS TO DISCIPLINE ACROSS OUR SCHOOLS.
JICJA CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED JUST LIKE A NUMBER OF OUR STUDENT-FACING POLICIES, WOULD GO THROUGH A PROCESS THAT IT WOULD FIND ITSELF INTO OUR BEHAVIOR MATRIX WHICH TYPICALLY THE BEHAVIOR MIT RAKES -- THERE IS A BEHAVIOR MATRIX TEAM WHICH
CONSISTS OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS AND DISTRICT SPECIALISTS. AND THE WHOLE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT AS TO A NUMBER OF STUDENT-FACING POLICIES, PARTICULARLY AS TO DISCIPLINE THAT THERE ARE REASONABLE GENERAL PARAMETERS AND JICJA
WOULD GO THROUGH THAT SAME PROCESS. A QUESTION ABOUT LOCKER ROOMS AND BATHROOMS. THE CURRENT -- THE DRAFT IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED DOESN'T BAN CDs IN THESE AREAS, THERE ARE EXISTING POLICIES, EXISTING STATE LAW, SHOULD EVEN FEDERAL -- SHOOT EVEN FEDERAL
LAW THAT GET AFTER THE MISUSE EVEN GROSS MISUSE OF CDs IN LOCKER ROOMS, BATHROOMS AND SO WE WOULD -- THE CURRENT POLICY RELIES ON THOSE AS OPPOSED TO AN OUT RIGHT BAN. AN OUT RIGHT BAN. PARTICULARLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
CONTEXT, WOULD CREATE A BIT OF A TENSION. YOU CAN IMAGINE IF WE ARE ALLOWING KIDS TO USE CDs IN THE HOLLOWAYS AND PASSING PERIOD A KID WALKS INTO A LOCKER ROOM WITH THEIR PHONE, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT WALK INTO A LOCKER ROOM WITH A PHONE
AND USING IT AS NORMALLY WOULD, DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF THE BAN IN A LOCKER ROOM IT COULD BE AN ISSUE, COULD BE A DISCIPLINARY EERY ARE ISSUE.
THE CURRENT POLICY DOESN'T NOT DEAL WITH THAT. A BELL TO BELL DAN FOR HIGH SCHOOL. PARTICULARLY THE BOARD ASKED FOR THE BENEFITS OF A BAN.
CERTAINLY THERE ARE BENEFITS. IF WE ARE HAVING A 360 VIEW OF IT. THE COMPREHENSIVE DATA SO FAR IS NOT A LOT. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHY. THIS CONVERSATION OF BANNING SCHOOLS IN PHONE HASN'T BEEN
AROUND FOR A BIT. THERE IS SOME DATA. BUT NOT COMPREHENSIVE DATA WE EXPECTER MORE IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS OR SO. CURRENT THE VALLEY DATA A BELL TO BELL BAN CAN VIN CREASED FOCUS, REDUCED CONFLICT BROUGHT ABOUT BY SOCIAL MEDIA OR
PHONE-DRIVEN APPS. AND MORE IN-PERSON SOCIAL SOCIALIZATION. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE TEST SCORES WENT UP AS WELL. THE IMPORTANT CAVEAT IS YOU ONLY
SEE THOSE BENEFITS IF IMPLEMENTATION IS DONE WITH FIDELITY WHICH TEES UP BUY IN A & A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER RELATED ISSUES. WE WANTED TO COVER THAT AS WELL. IF YOU COULD SCROLL DOWN. LET ME COVER A FEW MORE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP
VERY, VERY BRIEFLY. HOW WILL WE COMMUNICATE THE FOTHEPOLICIES TO FAMILIES. VERY REASON BY THE FAMILIES GET A LOT OF COMMUNICATION WORK WE ALL KNOW THAT.
ONE OF THE THE BOARD PASSES A POLICY HOW WILL IT BE COMMUNICATED? WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE TYPICAL CHANNELS IT WILL BE A HUGE TEAM EFFORT. THE DIRECT COMMUNICATING. BUILDINGS COMMUNICATING. AND OUR COMMUNICATIONS
DEPARTMENT PROVIDING TOOLBOX. OR COMMUNICATION TOOLBOX FOR SCHOOLS TO THE EXTENT THEY NEED IT. THE REALITY S THE BOARD WERE TO PASS A POLICY AS IS, OUR ELEMENT TRY SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS ALREADY DO A LOT OF THIS.
SO THERE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE A HUGE LEARNING CURVE FOR THOSE FAMILIES. THE OTHER QUESTION WE GOT WAS WHO DECIDES THE EXCEPTIONS REGARDING AN URGENT SITUATION?
HOW DO WE INTERPRET URGENT SITUATIONS. REAL GUYED QUESTIONS. THE POLICY AS DRAFTED EMPOWERS STAFF TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO USE A CD FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES OR IF AN IEP SLASH 504 DICTATE IT
THERE IS AN CLIMB FOR USE TO ADDRESS AN URGENT SITUATION THAT CAN BE NOT BE ADDRESSED THROUGH SCHOOL COMMUNICATION OPTIONS. YOU KNOW THIS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND EDUCATION AT ALL. WE HAVE PHENOMENAL EDUCATION
THAT MAKE JUDGMENT CALLS ALL DAY LONG, MINUTE BY MINUTE ON A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES. AND J I FELT C.J. A WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT. MAKE ARE THEY WOULD MAKE NO JUDGMENT CALLS WHAT IS AN URGENT SITUATION THAT CAN'T BE ADDRESSED THROUGH A SCHOOL
COMMUNICATION OPTION. THE BOTTOM LINE IS AT LEAST AS THE POLICY IS CONSTRUCTED IT BE A CASE BY CASE ANALYSIS. I GAVE THE EXAMPLE TO THE BOARD OF A STUDENT WHOSE FATHER WAS
GOING THERE TO SURGERY. AND SHE WOULD KNOW WHAT TIME DAD IS GETTING OUT OF SURGERY AND SO DURING THAT CLASS WE WOULD SHE WOULD SAY, LISTEN IT'S REALLY WEARING ON ME THAT MY DAD IS IN SURGERY I KNOW HE GETS OUT ABOUT THIS TIME CAN I JUST CALL MY MOM
AT A CERTAIN TIME DURING YOUR CLASS? TO SEE HOW HE'S DOING. THE TEACHER IN THAT SCENARIO MANY MORE TIMES THAN NOT WILL SAY OF COURSE. NOW, WHAT IF THAT CLASSROOM I THINK A THINKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL IN PARTICULAR, IF THAT
CLASSROOM IS RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY FROM THE OFFICE. THE TEACHER MIGHT WAY JUST GO ON THE OFFICE AT THE POINTED TIME AND THAT'S ALL GOOD. IF THAT CLASSROOM, THOUGH, IS IN LIKE POD "E" AND IT'S A 5-MINUTE WALK FROM POD "E" TO THE OFFICE
A TEACHER MIGHT REASON AND I SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT WILL TAKE YOU LESS TIME TO JUST PULL OUT YOUR PHONE AND WALK IN THE HALL OR GO TO THE BATHROOM WHATEVER YOU AND HAVE THE CONVERSATION AND COME BACK IN THE CLASS, VERY CASE BY CASE, AND THE POLICY IS DRAFTED ALLOWS FOR STAFF TO MAKE THOSE CALLS.
AS TO THE POLICY ITSELF, JUST A QUICK HEADS UP. WE DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE DRAFT LANGUAGE FROM JANUARY TO NOW. WE ADJUSTED THE POLICY NUMBER TO JICJA I BELIEVE. GENERAL COUNSEL KLAMESH MADE A REFERENCE TO THAT IN JANUARY.
JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAN AND LACK REPETITION AND WE SUBMITTED A REDLINE JIHA. GIVEN THAT JICJA WOULD REPLACE THAT IT. AM I OUT OF TIME? I AM SORRY.
SO WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO QUICKLY I WANT DOUSE OUR TEAM OF STAFF. WHO ARE HERE. TO DISCUSS ANY QUESTION THAT THE BOARD HAS. SO IF YOU COULD, JUST, YOU KNOW, RAISE YOUR HAND OR WAVE NATALIE
BERNARD DOUBLE NATURAL MEDIA TEACH TER MOUNTAIN VISTA HIGH SCHOOL. CHRIS GRAHAM HERRING OUR TEACH AT MOUNTAIN VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL. LYDIA HAYES THIRD GRADE TEACHER AT IRON HORSE ELEMENTARY. DR. KELLY SMITH DIRECTOR OF HEALTH WELLNESS AND PREVENTION.
LIZ THUNDER RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL. LEANNE LANE, VALLEY PRINCE PANEL. JOHN CASTLE ROCK MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND JULIE EL DORADO PRINCIPAL. BUT SOON TO BE PRINCE PALLING OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 51. SO WITH THAT HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR
QUESTIONS. >> SO WE HAVE A STARRING LINEUP. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATED PRESENTATION. THE AND ANSWERS TO THAT. SO BASICALLY WE HAVE ABOUT 20 MINUTES SCHEDULED FOR THIS
CONVERSATION. I AM HOPING TO START WITH CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS AND THEN WHAT I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO GET TO IS COLLECTIVELY FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD ON THIS POLICY THINK TO SEE IF WE HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD THAT'S, YOU KNOW, LEANING IN THE SAME AREAS FOR
FEEDBACK FOR THIS POLICY. SO WITH THAT, I WILL JUST OPEN IT UP FOR CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FIRST. DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY LATE QUESTION I SUBMITTED IN TODAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. >> SURE.
>> IMPRESSIVE GROUP YOU PUT TOGETHER. BACK WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL. IF PARENTS NEEDED TO CONTACT SOMEBODY THEY CALMED THE SCHOOL OFFICE. I FORESEE THAT IF WOULD LIMIT CELLPHONES IN MIDDLE AND EVEN ME SCHOOL, THAT WILL RESTART. AND WE HAVE TALKED TO STAFF
ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO HANDLE MORE CALLS EACH DAY. MORE CONSIDERATIONS. WHAT POLICY WE WANT I WANT TO MICK SURE THAT WE WARN OUR OFFICE STAFF AND FULL EYE SUPPORT THEM ON HANDLING THAT
PROCESS IS THAT PART OF THE CONSIDERATION? I HAVE NOT BEEN PART OF THAT CONVERSATION PER SE. HOWEVER -- AND I'LL ALLOW MY HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL TO WEIGH IN HERE. MIDDLE SCHOOL, NOW, ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS HAVE A BELL TO
BELL BAN SUCH THAT OUR STAFF ALREADY HAS THAT WORK TO DO. IN TERMS OF HIGH SCHOOLS, I AM HAPPY TO -- IF YOU WANT TO -- >> THANK YOU, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. I AM LACKING FOR YOU ON THIS.
TO ME THAT'S A NON-ISSUE. IF THEY HAVE ACCESS DURING PASSING PERIODS AND SO ON, THEY'LL JUST TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN BILLS. IF THEY HAD A MORE EXPRESSIVE BAN, WE WOULD FIGURE IT OUT, TOO. CONSIDER THINGS THAT NOT
COMPLETELY ANALOGOUS TO WHEN WE ARE IN SCHOOL OR OUR KIDS. RIGHT NOW MORE FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING. OFF PERIODS BETWEEN SCHOOL ASKS SO ON, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT AT LEAST IN MY HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE WEREN'T A THING. SO MUCH.
IN TERMS OF STRESS ON THE OFFICE STALL WE'LL BE FINE NO MATTER HOW THIS COMES OUT. >> OKAY. >> OTHER QUESTIONS. DIRECT TORE DENZLER. >> I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE CAN REALLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION. BUT I THINK ONE OF MY CONCERNS
THAT I HAVE EXPRESSED IS THAT POLICING CELLPHONES WILL BECOME AN UNFADE DUTY FOR TEACHERS WHICH I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. LIKE IN CHERRY CREEK SCHOOL DISTRICT. I HAD 47 MINUTES AND I COULD EITHER POLICE CELLPHONES OR TEACH FOR 47 MINUTES AND I COULD NOT DO BOTH, RIGHT? SO I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANY OF
YOU CAN SPEAK TO HOW THIS POLICY FEELS LIKE IT EITHER WILL HELP YOU IN -- I DON'T KNOW, LIKE SELF-EXECUTING THIS POLICY. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. WE'LL GIVE YOU GUIDANCE, THE GUIDE THAN YOU NEED IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT CELLPHONE
OR COMMUNICATION DEVICE POLICY. OR WHETHER THIS IS A LITTLE BIT TOO VAGUE AND MIGHT ESSENTIALLY BECOME AN UNPAID DUTY. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE. >> IF I MAY DIRECTOR DENZLER BEFOREHANDING OFF THE MIC, JUST PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT NO ANYBODY WATCHING.
SO AS CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED THE POLICY HAS THE BELL TO BELL BAN FOR ELEMENTARY COOL MIDDLE SCHOOL, AGAIN CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE ARE ALREADY DO, AND SO I SUPPOSE IN THEORY MY COLLEAGUES WILL WEIGH IN, THAT'S ALREADY BAKED IN THAT -- AND TO THEIR WORKDAY, AND THEN HIGH SCHOOL
GETS A LITTLE TRICKIER. SO I'LL JUST -- >> OH, HEY BEING I AM FOURTH GRADE TEACHER. NOT THIRD I HAVE TO PUT THAT ON RECORD. GREAT QUESTION. I AM ELEMENTARY.
WE HAVE OUR PROCEDURES IN PLACE. IT'S BELL TO BELL. I ESSENTIAL ANY SOME TEACHERS SAY JUST KEEP IT IN YOUR BACKPACK I HAVE TWO BOXES ONE WAS JUST FOR PHONES AND NOW THERE IS ANOTHER BOX FOR WATCHES AND ALL OF THOSE COOL GARAGE HE IS.
AND MY KIDS PUT IN IN THERE. BEGINNING OF THE DAY SPEND OF DAY. THAT'S MY SUBPLANS, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS POLICY WOULD IMPACT ME IN ELEMENTARY BUT WE HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN OUR BUILDING.
>> AT MOUNTAIN RIDGE WE HAVE BEEN BELL TO BELL SINCE COVID. AND I COUNTED TODAY, I STANDOUT SIDE MY CLASSROOM I ASKED TWO KIDS TO PUT PHONES THAT WERE IN THEIR POCKETS IN THEIR BACKPACKS AND THEN I STARTED CLASS. I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING
ELSE IT TOOK SECONDS TO DO THAT. IT'S NOT ONCE YOU HAVE IT GOING THE EXPECTATIONS ARE THERE AND IT'S NOT HARD TO DO. >> I AM IN A HIGH SCHOOL AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL ADD -- FOR ME IT WILL NOT A ANYTHING. WHAT I DO AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE YEAR IS I TELL THE KIDS TO PUT THEIR PHONES ON THE DESK TURN THEM UP AND TURN NOTE SAYINGS ON, AND THEY ALL LOOK AT ME LIKE I HAVE LOST MY LILLED WHILE I AM TALKING THEY ARE LETTING ME KNOW THAT WAS JUST A SNAP CHAT, THAT WAS AN INSTAGRAM, AND I AM MAKING TALLY
MARKS THEN I TAKE PICTURES AND SEND THEM HOME THIS THE PARENTS I INTRODUCE THEM TO MY LITTLE PHONE HOTEL AND I -- I DON'T HAVE TO POLICE ANYTHING. THE KIDS KNOW WHEN THEY COME IN THE DOOR THAT'S WHERE THEY GO. BECAUSE IT'S -- EVEN BY THE MIDDLE OF CLASS I HAVE HIGH COOLERS GOING GOOD, THIS BEEPING
CAN WE TURN IT OFF. AND THEN BUT IT'S A GREAT CONVERSATION. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE YOUR PHONE IN HERE. I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT I SEE HAPPENING IS THERE NEED TO BE A STRUCTURE THAT SAYS THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE
HARDEST PART RIGHT NOW. A LEAST WHERE I AM. IS THAT SOME OF US ARE LIKE, NO, THIS IS MY TIME FOR ME TO HAVE YOU FOR ME TO HAVE YOU LEARNING. LISTENING, TALKING TO EACH OTHER. AND THEN THERE IS OTHER TEACHERS THAT DON'T GIVE A FLYING HOOT.
SO I THINK THAT THAT THERE NEED TO BE A -- SOMETHING THAT SAYS THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. SO THE ONLY THING THAT I -- MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BRING THIS UP BUT I WILL ANYWAY. BECAUSE AS A FORMER YEARBOOK ADVISER, WE USE THE KIDS USE
THEIR PHONES TO INTERVIEW. SO THAT'S A BRIDGE FOR I GUESS SOMEBODY ELSE TO FIGURE OUT. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING AS WE ARE TALKING,, BUT IN TERMS OF EXTRA FOR ME, AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BEING EXTRA FOR
ANYBODY, IF THE EXPECTATION IS DECIDED IN THE SCHOOL AND, FOLLOWED. WHICH WOULD BE WE NEED AHEAD MINUTE SUPPORT I GUESS, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S NOT EXTRA POLICING. AND MY KIDS ACTUALLY TALK TO EACH OTHER. IT'S KIND OF WEIRD.
>> I TO THINK YOUR QUESTION, DIRECTOR DENZLER THE ANSWER IS, YES. AND IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING. RIGHT? SO WE ARE ALREADY POLICING IT. I THINK THE IDEA BEHIND THIS THAT I REALLY CAN APPRECIATE IS THAT WITH CONSISTENCY IT'S LESS
ABOUT INDIVIDUALIZED PLACING. BECAUSE WE CAN ALL SAY THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO. I THINK WHERE THE POLICING, IF YOU WILL, COMES A POINT OF CONVERSATION IS JUST WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? RIGHT? BECAUSE I THINK IN POLICING
THIS, WE CAN UNPACK IT AND THERE IS ALWAYS SOME KIND OF REASON. I BELIEVE BEHAVIOR IS COMMUNICATION, SO WHEN WE ARE MAKING THESE CHOICES IS IT BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCE, IS IT BECAUSE WE HAVE ANXIETY OF PAST DRAMA.
IS IT BECAUSE I AM A DOUBLE TODAY MY CELLPHONE. THERE ARE A THOUSAND DIFFERENT ANSWERS TO THAT QUESTION, WITH A CONSISTENT POLICY IT HELPS US HAVING BETTER CONVERSATIONS AS OPPOSED TO JUST A WIDESPREAD CONSTANTLY TRIAGING THE SITUATION. AND THEN WHEN WE CAN UNDERSTAND
WHERE THAT COMES FROM, MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF SUPPORTING OUR KID WITH WHAT THEY ACTUALLY NEED. >> GOOD EVENING. CAN YOU RESTATE YOUR QUESTION. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE GONE COUNSEL A PATH OF ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT ANSWERS. >> I THINK IT WAS -- IT WAS MORE
OF A COMMENT TO BE FAIR. IT WASN'T A GREAT QUESTION. I AM JUST CONCERNED THIS WOULD BECOME LIKE AN UNPAID DUTY FOR TEACHERS. >> LIKE LEANNE WAS SAYING IT'S ALREADY THAT UNPAID DIET THAT WE ARE DOING ANYWAY. IT'S NOT CHANGING ANYTHING IN THAT REGARD.
WHAT IT DOES PROVIDE US, THOUGH, WITH THE CLARITY OF THE BELL TO BELL, IT -- YOU ARE ASKING IF IT WAS TOO GRAY. I THINK IT ESTABLISHES A LINE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SAY, NOPE FROM HERE TO HERE, IT'S JUST NOT THERE. AND SO WHENEVER YOU CAN MAKE IT THAT CONCRETE TO THE MIDDLE COOLERS IT REALLY HELPS US OUT
SO THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO ARGUE. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TO DEBATE WHEN IT COMES TO THE PHONE, AIR PODS. THE WATCH. ANY DIFFERENT PIECES THAT THE KIDS -- I'LL USE THE WORD ADDICTED TO. IT TAKES THAT GRAY AREA OUT AND IT'S LIKE, NOPE. HERE IS THAT LINE IN THE SAND,
THE TIME. AND FROM HERE TO HERE IT'S JUST NOT THERE. AND I ACTUALLY REALLY APPRECIATE THE CLARITY THAT WE GET FROM THAT. SO THAT WE CAN THEN ACTION AS A SCHOOL AND THERE ISN'T ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT IT DOES ALSO OPEN UP LIKE AS A FORMER YEARBOOK ADVISER HAVING
KIDS DO THOSE THINGS AND BE ABLE TO USE THEIR PHONE AND LEAVE THAT OPEN TO THAT. ALLOWS THAT FREEDOM THAT THE TEACHERS WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE EN ENGAGE THOSE DIFFERENT PIECES THEY ARE NOT HAPPENING ALL OVER THE BUILDING IT WILL BE HERE AND THERE TYPE PIECES AND OPENING
THE DOOR TO HAVE THE BITS THERE IS GREAT FOR US TO USE AS WELL. WITH THE WAY THE POLICY IS WRITTEN. >> I HAVE TWO HIGH COOLERS I ASKED THEM, AND READ THEM THE POLICY.
SO EVERY ONE OF THEIR CLASSES IS ALREADY ORGANICALLY BUILT THIS IN WHETHER IT'S TAKING THE CELLPHONES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY. THEY EACH HAVE DIFFERENT ONES. IF THEY DID HAVE ONE THAT WAS MORE UNIFORM IT COULD AB A BETTER TALK APPROACH THE BUT THEN THE NICE THING IS THEY ARE
NOT CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT THEIR PHONE, THE NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT GOING OFF. IN THEIR POCKET THE VIBRATION IS NOT GOING OFF SO THEY ARE C CONSTANTLY TORN TO IT. IF THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR PHONE UP ON ONE OF THOSE SHOE HOLDERS OR WHATEVER THE TEACHERS ARE DOING. I FEEL LIKE THAT IS A HUGE BENEFIT. THEY DON'T SEEM LIKE THE
POLICE -- IT'S POLICE AGO LOT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND SO FROM MY TWO HIGH COOLERS THAT I HAVE IT'S WILL BE -- THIS WON'T AFFECT THEM WHATSOEVER. >> AND WE DID THIS LAST YEAR AT MY FORMER SCHOOL AND I HAD A TEACHER SAY TO ME, YOU KNOW, I
DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH ENERGY I WAS WASTING POLICING. BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING CONSISTENT IN PLACE, AND I KNOW I HAVE BACKING, I AM NOT THE MEAN TEACHER, BUT I HAVE SOMETHING TO LEAN ON SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, NO, THIS ISN'T WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.
IT REALLY GAVE BACK TIME. SO I I DON'T HAVE THAT YOU HAVE THRASHED OF A TEACHER AND THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED FOR THAT. DO THE OPPOSITE AND SAVE PEOPLE TIME. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. TWO QUESTIONS. FIRST, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM KIND OF PORTION OF THE POLICY. COULD YOU JUST TALK THROUGH THAT
PIECE AGAIN AROUND WHY THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ALL-OUT BAN FOR PHONES IN AT LOCKER ROOM. AND I GUESS THE PIECE THAT I WOULD -- I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT PHONES BEING OUT IN LOCKER
ROOMS. I THINK LIKE IF SOMEBODY WALKED INTO THE LOCKER ROOM WITH LIKE A CAMERA AROUND THEIR NEXT, I THINK PEOPLE WOULD RAISE AN EYEBROW AT THAT. AND I THINK THAT THERE IS A CULTURAL EXPECTATION IF YOU ARE
IN A LOCKER ROOM AT A REC CENTER, THAT YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES YOU'LL SEE SIGNS THAT ASK PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR PHONES AWAY. AND JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY
THERE WOULDN'T BE AN ALL-OUT BAN FOR PHONES IN A LOCKER ROOM. >> IF IT'S OKAY, DIRECTOR CALLAHAN I'LL START AND THEN HAND IT OFF TO MY COLLEAGUES. THE POLICY AS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED DOESN'T HAVE ANNEX POLICE IT'S BAN FOR LOCKER ROOMS OR BATHROOMS.
AND AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, AND, AGAIN, AS IT'S CONSTRUCTED WHAT REALLY CONTEMPLATING OR THE POLICY GETS AFTER IS THE MISUSE OF CD'Ss OF A CELLPHONE.
WE HAVE POLICIES IN TERMS OF DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, PRIVACY VIOLATIONS WE HAVE STATE LAW ON THAT EVENING. AND SO THAT'S ONE RATIONAL. THE OTHER RATIONALE IS IF LET'S SAY IN HIGH SCHOOL YOU ARE ALLOWING KIDS TO HAVE THEIR CELLPHONE GOES, USE THEIR
CELLPHONES DURING A PASSING PERIOD. OR A RESEARCH. IT'S ENTIRELY LIKELY THAT YOU HAVE A STUDENT OR 10 WHO NOT THINKING WALKS INTO A -- YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE P.E. AFTER A CLASS, THEY WALK INTO A LOCKER ROOM AND ARE JUST USING THEIR PHONES NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT
IT. NOT MISUSING IT, THEY ARE JUST USING IT AND THEN THEY ARE DONE AND PUT IT AWAY AND ON THEY GO. DEPENDING ON THE BAN, THAT JUST USE, JUST WALKING IN, COULD BE A VIOLATION. SO THERE IS A LOT MORE CONVERSATION TO BE HAD ON THAT
DEPENDING ON WHERE THE BOARD WANTED TO GO WITH THAT. WITH THAT I'LL HAND IT FOR TODAY WHOM EVER. RAISE YOUR HANDLE WHOMEVER. >> AS I PROCESS THROUGH THAT, LIKE I HAVEN'T GIVEN THE LOCKER ROOM PIECE MUCH THOUGHT.
SO, YOU KNOW I AM PROCESS THAT GO RIGHT NOW. LOGISTICALLY I DON'T KNOW HOW WITH THE STUDENTS, THEIR PHONES ARE OFF AND AWAY IN A BACK WITH THEM BECAUSE I'M NOT STORING THEM CENTRALLY WHEN THEY ARE OFF AND AWAY. THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE IT TO TAKE
TEAR BACKPACKS AND USE THE LOCKERS IF THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO THICK TESTIMONY IN THERE AT ALL. I AM LOGISTICALLY TRYING TO PROCESS WHERE THEY WOULD BE IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE THEM INTO THE LOCKER ROOM WITH THEM. AND I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT GIVEN THIS TWO MINUTES OF CONVERSATION. I FEEL LIKE WE WOULD RUN INTO A
LOGISTICAL PIECE, I DON'T KNOW, LIZ IF YOU WANT TO ADD ONTO THA. >> TO YOUR POINT WE HAVE THE LOCKER ROOM SIDE HANDLED I FEEL LIKE. WE ALREADY HAVE THAT WHEN WELL CELL PHONES FIRST CAME OUT ON LAKE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T USE IT THIS WAY AND, THAT WAY WE HAVE
DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES FOR THAT. I AM NOT SUPER WORRIED WE NEED TO ADD MORE TO THEM MOST STUDENTS WHEN THEY COME IN THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT WHERE DO THEY WANT TO PUT IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT. THEY DON'T WANT TO DROP IT, ANY OF THAT. I CAN SEE SOMEBODY WALKING
THROUGH THE DOOR, BUT REUSCHEL Y ARE PUT IN AWAY WITH WITHIN MOMENTS, AND IF THEY ARE A MISS EWING IT WE HAVE OTHER POLICY THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT.
I THINK FOR US THE TIME TO DEAL WITH WHAT ARE WE GO OUI GOING TO DO WITH CELLPHONES IN LOCKER ROOMS CAME OUT A WHILE AGO AND WE HAVE ALREADY FIGURE GO AHEAD THAT OUT. IN ONE PERSON'S OPINION, FOR ME.
>> DID HE DON'T CHANGE OUT FOR P.E. ANY MERE, LOCKER ROOMS ARE LOCKED. KIDS DON'T HAVE THAT ACCESS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. >> I WANT TO MOVE TO DIRECTOR PARKER.
>> I HAVE A CLARIFICATION QUESTION. BECAUSE I AM FOLLOWING ALONG, BUT I AM ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE LISTENING IN. AND SO I THINK WE ARE USING BELL TO BELL IN DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. AND SO I WANT TO CLARIFY. BELL TO BELL IN ELEMENTARY AND
MIDDLE SCHOOL IS THE BEGINNING BELL TO THE AFTERNOON BELL WHEN SCHOOL IS DISMISSED. BUT BELL TO BELL IN HIGH SCHOOL, IS THE MOMENT CLASS STARTS VERSUS THE MOMENT CLASS ENDS THROUGHOUT THE CLASS. AND SO I WANTED TO JUST MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION.
BECAUSE WE ARE USING BELL TO BELL IN BOTH SCENARIOS. BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. >> SURE. SO THE DRAFT POLICY CONTEMPLATES BELL TO BELL ONLY -- AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT DEFINITION. FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE FORM HIGH SCHOOL, WE EXPLICITLY SAY
DURING THE CLASS PERIOD. >> THAT'S WHAT WE ARE MEANING WHEN YOU ARE SAYING BELL TO BELL HERE? >> YEAH. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE HAVE SURE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING ALONG THERE. >> JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, FOR HIGH SCHOOL WE ARE NOT CALLING IT BELL TO BELL IT'S CALLED CLASSROOM BAN?
>> DURING THE CLASS PERIOD. >> DURING THE CLASS PERIOD. >> OKAY. I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION AND I THINK IT GOT A LITTLE INTERTWINED IT SO I WANTED TO JUST CLARIFY THAT. >> SURE. AND I CAN GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES ON HOW WE GOT TO DURING THE
CLASS PERIOD IT'S TOTALLY UNINTERESTING TO EVERYBODY EXCEPT ME BUT IT WAS A LONG CONVERSATION WITH OUR STAFF. >> DIRECTOR TRY AN, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> YES. AND THIS PROBABLY IS MORE DIRECTED TO YOU CHIEF OF STAFF. YOU USED THE WORD FIDELITY WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN BELL TO
BELL BANS HAVE BEEN USED IN HIGH SCHOOLS. FOR THESE STUDIES THAT ARE JUST COMING OUT RECENTLY BECAUSE IT'S FAIRLY NEW. >> YEAH. >> WHEN YOU SAY FIDELITY, WHAT OTHER THINGS IN THE POLICY NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT FOR THAT TO BE
FIDEL TUS? >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL? >> YES. I AM NOT FOLLOWING THE QUESTION WATCH DO WE HAVE TO TAKE OUT. >> WHEN YOU SAY WITH IF I FIDELITY.
WITH EXCEPTIONS FOR YEARBOOK, SAY OTHER CLASSES DOES THAT INTERFERE WITH THE STUDIES WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IT NEEDS TO HAVE FIDELITY TO HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT. >> GOT YOU. NO, I THINK I AM TRACKING NOW. WITH FIDELITY IS AND READING WHAT WE HAVE READ AND HAVING ALL THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE
HAD, IS ULTIMATELY BUILDING LEADERS AND STAFF, FOLLOWING THE POLICY WITH FIDELITY. IN THE CONTEXT OF HYPOTHETICAL BELL TO BELL BAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S BUILDING LEADERS, AND STAFF WITHIN THAT BUILDING. MAKING SURE THAT THE RULE, SPOT
RULES ARE FOLLOWED. AND THAT DOES -- THE RULES AS WE CURRENTLY FRAME THEM CONTEMPLATE EXCEPTIONS LIKE INSTRUCTIONAL USE. A PRESSING MATTER AND AN IEP504
SO ALL OF THAT CAN LIVE IN THE SAME WORLD. I HOPE THAT'S CLEAR. >> THE SECOND QUESTION. IT'S DIFFERENT. YOU TALKED ABOUT CONSEQUENCES BEING SCHOOL BY SCHOOL AND THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. BUT IF WE HAD CONSEQUENCES IN
SOME WAY CONTAINED WITHIN THE POLICY, AS SOME SORT OF TIERED APPROACH. COULDN'T THAT ALSO CONTAIN THE EXCEPTIONS FOR INCIDENT THE USE TO GO TO, YOU KNOW, WALKING TO THE LOCKER ROOM AND GOING AWAY, COULDN'T THAT COVER THOSE THINGS IF WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE
POLICY ON WHAT CONSEQUENCES ARE? >> YEAH. GO AHEAD. ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT WINDSOR. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I THINK AS WE KIND OF BALANCE THE POLICY VERSUS THE REGULATION SET OF THINGS FROM IMPLEMENTING IT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I THINK WE HAVE STRUCTURES
OBVIOUSLY WITHIN OUR BEHAVIOR MATRIX TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE. I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS TIMES IN EACH OF THESE SCENARIOS WITH CELLPHONES IS HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY NEED THAT IT'S NOT AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE IT WILL BE THERE FOR DISCIPLINE PURPOSES THINK I THINK THE BIG PART WHICH WE TRY
TO NAVIGATE AS A SYSTEM IS PUT THESE BEHAVIOR MATRIX PLANS IN PLACE, WE HAVE A TEAM AS YOU PROBABLY HEARD FROM OUR LOSS PREVENTION BEHAVIOR MATRIX TEAMS THAT EVALUATES SOME. HOW DO WE GET MULTIPLE LEVELS IN THIS FEEDBACK AS WELL AND PROGRESS MONITOR OVER THE YEAR
AND ARE WE SEEING MOBILE EXTREME SITUATIONS HAPPEN. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL ABSOLUTELY BRING BACK IN, BUT WE HAVE A TEAM OF FOLKS AT A VARIETY OF LEVELS THAT HELP IN THAT PROCESS AS WELL, TOO. >> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTORS REAL QUICK. DO YOU MIND IF WE GIVE OTHERS TURNS.
AND THEN WELCOME BACK. I KNOW WE ARE KIND OF AT OUR TIME ALLOCATED BUT ARE WE COMFORTABLE GOING OVER ANOTHER 10, 15 MINUTES IF NEEDED, RIGHT? IT'S IMPORTANT. I KNOW THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHERS WAITING. DIRECTOR PARKER AND THEN
DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. ARE WE PREPARED FOR LIKE THE 504 INCREASE OR WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? BECAUSE I AM JUST THINKING AS A STUDENT I WANT MY PHONE. MY -- I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT AS ME, RIGHT. >> AND I WOULD BEING LIKE WELL
BEING I TAKE NOTES SOMETIMES ON MY CELLPHONE I HAVE TO MOVE BY BACK MAKE CERTAIN WAY I HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON DO I THAT. AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE CLASS WILL WANT TO DO THAT, TOO. AND SO WHAT DO WE THINK THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS IN THE
FIVE-ON-FOUR IEP SITUATION WILL BE. >> I SUPPORT 504s WITHIN MY TEAM AND WE ARE ALREADY HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND PUTTING TO GO GUIDANCE FOR THAT. SO I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC ANSWER FOR YOU, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT. >> THANK YOU. GREAT QUESTIONS. >> DIRECTOR CALLAHAN AND THEN
DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> HAVE WE CONSIDERED -- IS THERE ANY -- HAVE THERE BEEN ANY FUNDS ALLOCATED TO PROVIDING TEACHERS WITH RESOURCES WHETHER
IT IS A PHONE TOWER OR PLACES TO PLUG IT IN OR PHONE HOTEL, I HAVE HEARD DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY. BUT ARE THERE FUNDS THAT THAT WE HAVE SET ASIDE TO ASSIST WITH THAT. >> SO I CAN START IF ANYBODY
WANTED TOES WEIGH IN. TYPICALLY THOSE FUNDS COME OUT OF SBB. AND TO THE EXTEND THAT ANY BUILDING NEEDED FUNDS FOR PHONE TOWERS WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM
ON THAT. IF YOU GO INTO -- AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE BEEN RICKY ENOUGH TO GO INTO A NUMBER OF BUILDINGS, A NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS WE WALKED IN ALREADY HAVE THAT STUFF. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE ISA NEED FOR IT. WE CERTAINLY WOULD WORK WITH OUR LEADERS ON THAT.
>> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> WE HAVE WHAT, FOUR OR FIVE CHARTER HIGH SCHOOLS. HOW ARE THEY ADDRESSING THIS, BELL TO BELL OR BY CLASS? IS THERE A RANGE ON THOSE?
>> THEY ARE ALL OVER THE MA'AM I LOOKED AT IT A LONG TIME AGO. I LOOK AT MAY COLLEAGUES IN CASE ANYBODY HAS A TAKE ON IT. I KNOW THAT K-8 CHARTERS ARE TYPICALLY BELL TO BELL. YEAH. >> BUT I AM -- I AM WONDERING
WHAT EXPERIENCE STEM AND SKY VIEW AND BEN FRANKLIN HAVE HAD. AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS POLICY. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS GOING TO BE HAVE TO BE ONE THAT THE CHARTER SCHOOLS CAN OPT OUT OF. I DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE ANY BROADER POLL ON ON STEM IF THEY
HAVE A BELL TO BELL. I THINK STEM HAS A BELL TO BELL FOR HIGH SCHOOL. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY INSIGHTS TO THAT. IF DO YOU FEEL FREE.
>> JUST TO WEIGH IN GEM, THE CHARTERS WOULD BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THIS POLICY. THAT BEING SAID IF STEM HAS A BELL TO BELL BAN THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY. THE POLICY SAYS FOR HIGH SCHOOL IT'S A CLASSROOM BAN -- SORRY,
CLASS PERIOD BAN. AND BUT ALL INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS ARE WELCOME TO GO FURTHER. IF THEY WANT TO. >> THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT KANE THAT IS THE ANSWER. THE RESTRICTION, THE POLICY AS CURRENTLY DRAFTED.
THE RESTRICTIONS ARE MINIMUMS. SO WHETHER IT BE A CLASSERRER OR WHETHER IT BE ANY OF OUR BUILDINGS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND. >> I WOULD BE FATE NIGHTED TO SEE IF A LARGE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL WENT STRICT THEY COULD CHOOSE.
IT'S LIKE TO HEAR, THOSE SCHOOLS WHO MAY HAVE ADDRESSED THEY ARER ARE DEALING WITH THEIR PARTICULAR PLANS. >> GREAT QUESTION. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER.
>> I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS TO GATHERER DATA WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION AND REVISE AHEAD NEEDED IF WE CAN COME BACK TO THE TABLE IN A YEAR OR SO AND FIGURE OUT FROM STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY, STUDENTS, WHAT WORKS WITH THE POLICY AND WHAT
DOESN'T, BECAUSE I DO WANT THIS TO BE A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS IF POSSIBLE. >> GREAT QUESTION. THE EXISTING POLICY ASSOCIATED WITHER THAT POLICY THE LAST PHOTOGRAPARAGRAPHSAYS WOMEN COMO
YEARS, WITH SURVEYS, CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR TEAM. WITH OUR VARIOUS STAFFS, GREAT QUESTION. YEAH. >> DIRECTOR RYAN YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING. >> THANK YOU. FOR THE FOLKS, THE ELEMENT TRY AND MIDDLE, WHO ARE ALREADY
DEALING WITH THE BELL TO BELL BAN, OBVIOUSLY FAMILY EMERGENCIES EMERGE NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE AS A CHILD. ESPECIALLY MIDDLE SCHOOL I THINK IS MORE APPROPRIATE, HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THOSE SITUATIONS SO THE PARENT IN SURGERY?
>> SORRY DIRECTOR YOU SAID MIDDLE AND HIGH. >> MIDDLE AND ELEMENTARY THE ONES THAT HAVE BELL TO BELL. >> I AM ELEMENTARY AND I HAVE BEEN IN DOUGLAS COUNTY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. SO TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT. I AM NOW ALSO USING AN APP CALLED TALKING POINTS.
AND SO PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ME THROUGH THAT. AND I MAKE IT VERY CLEAR IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I THINK OUR WHOLE SCHOOL DOES, THAT EMERGENCIES DO HAPPEN. AND WE HAVE IT TAKE CARE OF OUR HUGH HUMAN NEEDS BEFORE WORKINGE
WORRYING ABOUT LONG DIVISION, PARENTS USUALLY REACH OUT IF SOMETHING GOING ON WE PUT THE PUPPY DOWN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT JUST HAPPENED RECENTLY. AND SO THEY CALL THE OFFICE, THEY EMAIL ME. THEY CAN SEND ME SOMETHING IN TALKING POINTS AS WELL. IN MY 20 YEARS, I FEEL LIKE I
HAVE A CLASSROOM PHONE, I HAVE A CELLPHONE, I HAVE MY LAPTOP. I HAVE MY PULSE ON THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. AND PARENTS USUALLY JUST CALL THE OFFICE AND THEN CALL DOWN TO ME. SO I FEEL LIKE ANY EMERGENCY, I
CAN HELP RIGHT AWAY. MAY TEAMMATE CAN HELP. A SUB IF THEY ARE IN THE CLASSROOM CAN HELP AS WELL. THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT ON ELEMENTARY. THAT WE FEEL THAT LOCKED DOWN.
>> I WOULD ADD THAT OUR PARENTS KNOW THEY CAN ALWAYS CALL THE SCHOOL. WE HAVE PEER COUNSELORS WHO CAN RUN MESSAGES UP WITHIN A MINUTE OF GETTING A MESSAGE. WE HAVE AN INTERCOM SYSTEM, A PHONE IN OUR CLASSROOMS OUR OWN CELLPHONES AND OUR COMPUTERS.
I ALWAYS TELL STUDENTS WHEN WE ARE PRACTICING LOCKDOWNS AND THINGS, I ALWAYS HAVE MY PHONE. AND SO THERE IS ALWAYS A CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD. AND THAT SEEMS TO BE FINE THERE.
THEY ARE ACCEPTING OF THAT. >> SO I AM BACK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL I TAUGHT FOR 10 YEARS AND FORTUNATE TO TAKE TIME OFF AND RAISE MY KIDS AND THEN I I CAME BACK AND IT WAS A CULTURE SHOCK BECAUSE THIS PHONE THING WAS NOT A THING. I DEVELOPED MY LITTLE THINGS
THAT I DO ON THE BOARD AFTER I HAD A PARENT CALL THEIR HIGH SCHOOL, YOUNG MAN, TO TELL THEM THAT THEY JUST PUT THEIR DOG DOWN. AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME. IT WAS THE PHONES WERE JUST -- I MEAN, I WAS TILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET MY FEET
BACK WET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD THIS HIGH SCHOOL KID SOBBING IN MY CLASSROOM. SO BUT I LOOK AT THIS, AND WHERE IT SAYS UP THERE THE LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE. I THINK WE WILL ALSO BE TRAINING PARENTS.
IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER. SO, YEAH. ANYWAY. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT THAT I THINK WE HAVE TO TRAIN PARENTS TOO. >> YEAH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALREADY WORKED THROUGH. YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED AT ANY TIME I SEE A STUDENT WITH THEIR CELLPHONE OUT AND THEN THEY SAY
I WAS TEXTING MY MOM. I THIRD THAT MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY. WE WORK THROUGH IT NOW. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BIGGER PIECES THAT TAKE PLACE WITH, YOU KNOW, FAMILY MEMBERS SICK OR ILL OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THOSE ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT THE TEACHERS HAVE WITH THE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH THE CONNECTION THAT THEY HAVE THERE. THE TEACHERS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND SO THERE IS NOT -- THERE IS TYPICALLY NOT THE SURPRISES WITH THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. SO THOSE CONNECTIONS AND THEN TO
BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND SAY, YEAH, JUST STEP OUT OR GO DOWN TO THE OFFICE AND DO THAT OR YOU CAN GO DOWN AND TALK WITH THE COUNSELOR AND CALL FROM DOWN THERE AND YOU CAN MESSAGE PARENTS. THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING BETWEEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR KIDS AND
THEY OFTEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON KIND OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES THE PART AT HOME THOSE OTHER TIEGS PEASES THAT ARE BATTLING AND KNOW WHAT THE IMPACTS ARE, THIS PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN WORKING THROUGH WHEN THEY NEED TO HAVE
THOSE CHECKSES AND CHECKSES ANDE CALLS THE OTHER THING IS IDENTIFYING WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE DON'T JUST TEXT YOUR KID DURING THE DAY. CALL THE SCHOOL. WE CAN GET THEM A MESSAGE, IT'S
SO HARD AS A PARENT YOU PAY FOR THEIR PHONE AND YOU WANT TO ACCEPT THEM THAT MESSAGE AND NOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER KEYSS I GET THAT. WE HAVE THE BELL TO BELL. AND THEY'LL SEE IT WHEN THEY GRAB THEIR PHONE AND TURN IT
BACK ON AT THE END OF THE DAY AND THEY GET IT OUT OF THEIR BACKPACK. THERE WILL BE THAT PARENT COMMUNICATION THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS. LATE USE THE MEANS WE HAVE FOREVER IN THE SCHOOLS.
LET'S USE THOSE AND REENGAGE MORE THAN WE DO AT TIMES BECAUSE OF THE EASY ACCESSIBILITY OF THE CELLPHONE AND SENDING A MESSAGE TO THEIR STUDENT. >> I AM THAT PARENT THAT NEED TO BE TRAINED I GUARANTEE YOU TEXTED ONE OF MY CHILDREN TODAY. BUFF FROM AN ADMIN PRINCIPAL AT
ELEMENTARY, I WOULD SAY I HAVE THE ONLY THING THAT I DEALT WITH THIS MOLE YEAR SO FAR WITH EITHER CELLPHONES OR WATCHES, WAS SOMEBODY WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND USED THEIR WATCH AND SAID I DON'T FEEL GOOD I WANT TO GO HOME AND THE DAD GAME
BUT NOBODY CAME TO THE NURSE AND HE SAID MY DAUGHTER CALLED AND SHE DOESN'T FIELD GOOD AND WANT MOOD TOE PICK HER UP. WHAT NEED IS FOR HER TO COME TO THE NURSE AND FOR HER -- THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH IN MY GRAND SCHEME OF THIS YEAR, THE ONLY KIND I WANT ACTION WE HAVE HAD
WITH EITHER CELLPHONE OR WATCHES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO I DON'T ANTICIPATE AN ELEMENTARY SETTING IT WILL BE AS BIG, WHAT I ANTICIPATE AND HAVE HEARD FEEDBACK ON IS THAT PARENT FEAR OF WHEN THERE IS AN EMERGENCY WITHIN THE SCHOOL, I WANT MY CHILD TO HAVE ACCESS TO
A PHONE OR TO ANYTHING THAT IS THE THING I HAVE HEARD THE MOST. ILL I THINK THEY HAVE SHOWN IN DRILLS AND CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG BUT PHONES WILL BE PASSED OUT IN THE EVENT OF A SITUATION AT A CERTAINLY TIME, RIGHT? SO THEY CAN CONTACT, BUT JUST
LIKENING INDICATING PARENTS BECAUSE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD CONVERSATION THAT -- VERY STRONG CONVERSATION BEING LIE MY CHILD WILL SAY PHONE, YOU WILL NEVER TAKE THEIR PHONE A WASHING THEY WILL GET AHOLD OF ME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE SCHOOL. SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO HELP SUPPORT.
THAT'S WHAT I CAN SEE IN ELEMENTARY AT LEAST. >> I CAN EXPAND ON THE EMERGENCY PIECE OR NOT SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE YOUR QUESTION WASN'T FOR HIGH SCHOOL. >> I THINK THE MORE INFORMATION WE HAVE THE BETTER. >> OKAY. SO MY PRINCIPAL'S COUNSEL OF
STUDENTS A NUMBER OF WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAGEDIES THROUGH ONE CONTEXT OR ANOTHER. THAT'S THEIR BIG CONCERN WHAT DO WE DO, HOW DO WE GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR PEOPLE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WE TALK ABOUT REQUEST YOU SHELTER IS ALSO WHERE YOUR PHONES CAN BE.
AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO ACCESS THOSE IN A TIME OF LOCKDOWN WE NEAT IS SILENT AND NOT LIT, BUT AS SOON AS YOUR ROOM IS CLEARED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THE GUIDANCE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED AS A PRINCIPAL YOU ARE OKAY TO SEND YOUR PARENT A QUICK I AM OKAY TEXT. AND TAKE YOUR PHONE WITH YOU
WHEN YOU GO TO REUNIFICATION THAT WILL HELP, YOU KNOW, WE ASSURE PEOPLE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH SCHOOL LEADERS. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
I WANT TO POLL EACH OF THE DIRECTORS LIKE WHAT IS ONE KEY TAKE AWAY OR CONSIDERATION THAT YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT WILL THIS POLICY. I'LL START. I HAVEN'T REALLY DONE IT YET. FOR ME IT'S AROUND CONSISTENT HE
CANEXPECEXPECTATIONS AND CONSEQ, THAT'S RESONATING WITH ME. AND I'LL OPEN IT UP TO OTHER DIRECTORS. >> I HAVE A QUESTION BUT NOT FOR THE GROUP. >> OKAY. >> AT THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
MEETING, I FEEL -- I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. AT A LATER TIME. BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL IN THIS CONVERSATION. AS WELL. >> THERE WAS A LOT OF
CONVERSATION WE HAD A RECENT MEETING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. ON MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND IT WAS A HOT TOPIC. AND DIRECTOR DENZLER WROTE UP AN AMAZING SUMMARY IN OUR BOARD PACKET WHICH HAD I THINK HAS GREAT INFORMATION TO US.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT FOR THAT. >> I WANTED TO SAY THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. WERE IN FAVOR OF THE POLICY AHEAD OF US. AND HAD SOME INTERESTING CONCERNS THAT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT FROM A BELL TO BELL IN A
HIGH SCHOOL SETTING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD I THOUGHT IT WAS RELEVANT TO THIS CONVERSATION. >> THANK YOU.
>> AS AN AUNT OF A CHILD WHO WAS AT ARAPAHOE WHEN IT HAPPENED. WE LEARNED IN HINDSIGHT, THAT WE COULD NOT GET AHOLD OF RYAN, LIKE IT WAS HORRIBLE. AND WHAT WE LEARNED IN THE END IS THAT NOBODY COULD GET AHOLD OF THEIR KIDS BECAUSE ALL THEIR
KIDS WERE ON THE PHONE. WITH THAT HAPPENING WHO ELSE COULDN'T PRIDE LIKE THEY NEEDED TO. THE EMERGENCY PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE THAT NEEDED TO RESPOND AND BE THERE, I AM SHAKING. THAT NEEDLED TO BE THERE AND
COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE -- THAT'S WHY MY PHONE HOTEL. I WILL TICK APPROXIMATE IT UP. MY PHONE IS IN THIS TOO. I PICK IT UP AND PUT IT TO WHATEVER CORNER YOU ARE NOT HAVING IT UNTIL SOMEBODY SAYS WE ARE CLEAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
THROUGH IT WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF MY NEPHEW. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. DIRECTOR GEIGER CAN I ASK YOU TO GO NEXT. >> ONE KEY TAKE AWAY OR CONSIDERATION AROUND THIS POLICY THINK. >> MY TAKE AWAY IS THAT WE NEED
TO BALANCE CONSISTENCY AS A DISTRICT POLICY. WITH APPROPRIATE FLEXIBILITY WE BUILDING LEVEL AND AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. I AM STILL TORN BETWEEN BELL TO BELL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND NOT -- ALTHOUGH THE FACT THAT 2/3 OF OUR STUDENTS AND 2/3 OF OUR
SLIDERS THINK IT SHOULD BE RESTRICTED NOT BELL TO BELL. PROBABLY ABLE TO CONVINCE ME. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO LEARN AS THIS GOES ON NEXT YEAR, WHATEVER WE PICK, ABOUT WHAT KIND OF DISCRETION WE ARE GOING DO GIVE TO BUILDING LEADERS WHAT KIND OF DISCRETION WE MAY GIVE TO
TEACHERS. I THINK BUILDING FLEXIBILITY IN WHAT COULD OTHERWISE BE A STRICT POLICY IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER. >> I THINK FOR ME BUY IN IS THE BIGGEST THING, RIGHT? AS A TEACHER YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE R50E6G A POLICY FROM LIKE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN A CLASSROOM BEFORE
AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. YOU CAN TELL WHEN THERE IS AN ILL THOUGHT OUT KIND OF POLICY. TO HAVE SO MUCH BUY IN EVEN JUST BEING HERE TONIGHT. AND SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT. IT DOES TELL ME THAT -- NOT THAT
I DOUBTED STAFF IT DOES TELL ME THAT STAFF HAS DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND, YOU KNOW, MEETING WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND LISTENING, SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT IT. THE BUY IN IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND I AM REALLY CURIOUS I'LL BE REALLY CURIOUS TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOU. AND OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR EDUCATOR COMMUNITY TO SEE HOW
THIS PLAYS OUT. >> DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> I THINK I WOULD AGREE WITH THE OTHER DIRECTORS. I THINK THAT ALL THAT HAS BEEN WELL SAID OF I THINK IT'S A BALANCE AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE
DONE A REALLY THOUGHTFUL JOB OF TRYING TO FIND THAT. >> DIRECTOR PARKER. >> YEAH, BUY IN AND CONSISTENCY I THINK. >> KNOWING ADD DIRECTOR RYAN?
>> IF IT'S NOT CLEAR I'M NOT COMPLETELY SOLD ON NOT DOING A BELL TO BELL IN HIGH SCHOOL. I THINK THE REASONS BEHIND THE POLICY ARE SOUND. BUT I THINK A LOT OF IT IS BASED IN INERTIA. I THINK INERTIA IS VERY POWERFUL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. THIS POLICY REFLECTS A LOT OF WHAT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN OUR
SCHOOLS. AND IT IS AN EASY TRANSITION BECAUSE OF THAT. AND SO I GET THAT IT'S A MASSIVE CHANGE. BUT I AM STILL BEHOLD EN TO THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE FROM THE DISTRICTS THAT HAVE GIVEN BELL TO BELL BANS AND THE
POSITIVES THAT HAVE COME FROM IT. I AM LESS AFRAID OF A BELL TO BELL THAN IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE LEANING TOWARD BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THE BUY IN TO THE CURRENT DRAFT IS MORE THIS IS WHAT I AM ALREADY DOING IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
>> THANK YOU. THE CONVERSATION AT THE MENTAL HEALTH CONVERSATION ROUNDTABLE WAS VERY FASCINATING WHERE THEY ACTUALLY FELT LIKE A TRANSITION RIGHT TO BELL TO BELL MIGHT BE A DIFFICULT TRANSITION TO MAKE.
IT WAS JUST INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS. SO WITH THAT, I THINK WHAT I AM HEARING IS THE BALANCING CONSISTENCY WITH FLEXIBILITY. THE BUY IN OVERALL. AND FOR ME, THAT BUY IN IS KIND OF WHAT LEADS INTO THE
IMPLEMENTATION CONSISTENCY. RIGHT? SO THE FIDELITY OF IT BEING PLENTIED, RIGHT, YOU HAVE TO THE THE BUY IN. ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO MENTION AS FEEDBACK WHILE WE HAVE.
GO AHEAD. DIRECTOR DIDN'T HER AND THEN DIRECTOR PARKER. >> JUST THAT I TOTALLY HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING DIRECTOR RYAN. AND ALSO RIGHT FOX, ME, I MEAN, FOR A DECADE-PLUS NOW, AS TEACHERS WE HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGES TO INTEGRATE MORE AND MORE TECHNOLOGY TOOLS INTO THE CLASS
RAM AND HAVE THEM USE THEIR PHONES. TO ENGAGE WITH DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE CURRICULA WHEN THE INTERNET IS GOWN THEY CAN USE THEIR OWN DATA. WE HAD TO GET SCRAPPY WITH TECHNOLOGY, I REMEMBER INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY EFFECTIVELY INTO MY LESSONS WAS
PART OF MY EVALUATIONS FOR YEARS. WHILE I HEAR AND YOU SHARE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT PHONES AND MENTAL HEALTH, IT'S ALSO AN ASK ON THE TEACHER TOES, YOU KNOW, TRANSITION AWAY. OF COURSE, THEY'LL HAVE THEIR LAPTOPS FOR CERTAINLY CLASSES IT'S DIFFERENT. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE
BEEN CONDITIONED TO DO FOR, YOU KNOW, GOING ON 20 YEARS NOW. I AM ALSO JUST COGNIZANT OF THAT SHIFT AS WELL. >> DIRECTOR PARKER. >> YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, SO THIS TIME IS TO TALK
TO EACH OTHER OR THE TEAM OR BOTH OR EVERYBODY? >> I WAS TRYING TO WRAP US UP BECAUSE WE ARE WELL OVER SCHEDULE. >> OKAY. >> AND IDEALLY I THINK AFTER THE LAST FIRST READING. THE STAFFER DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAD COLLECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD. AND WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD WILL HAVE
TO VOTE ON THIS POLICY. SO THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THAT. >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE TRYING TO WRAP. WE HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH FEEDBACK AND I HAVE READ THE SPREADSHEETS THAT WE BOT AND THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE PUBLIC COMMENTS
AND DO WE -- CAN SOMEONE DIRECT ME TO TEACHER-SPECIFIC FEEDBACK? DO WE HAVE TEACHER BUY IN ON THIS ON A LARGE SCALE? >> SO ONE OF THE SURVEYS THAT YOU'LL FIND ON THE DIGITAL LITERACY WEB PAGE IS A STAFF SURVEY. >> YEAH.
>> AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE AB ABOUT -- I BELIEVE I AM RIGHT 650 STAFF WHO WEIGHTED IN THE JUST EXTRAORDINARY. >> THE SAY THE BR BREAKDOWN. >> THE VEST JODY BELIEVE ARE TEACHERS. >> OKAY. AND. >> YEAH.
IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR RESPONSES, TO THE DRAFT THAT THEY LOOKED AT, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE DRAFT CURRENTLY IN FRONT OF THE BOARD. THERE WAS AT THE RISK -- >> I REMEMBER THE GRAPH.
>> THERE IS GOOD SUPPORT. IT'S ARGUE BY VERY IN LINE WITH -- THEIR FEEDBACK IS VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE POLICY IN FRONT OF THE THE STAFF -- THE BOARD. >> THE STAFF WAS TEACHERS? >> STAFF IS ABOUT, WE POLLED EVERYONE.
SO THE RESPONSES WERE ABOUT 650. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE RESPONSES WERE TEACHERS. >> OKAY. >> I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME. >> I WAS MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE STAFF IS A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> SURE IS. >> I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT TEACHER
SPECIFIC. >> HUGE TEAM OVER THIS LIKE A LAST THINGS. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE WHEN DO EXPECT THE THIRD READING? >> THAT'S UP TO THE BOARD. BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE YOU A STRONG RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER THE THIRD AND FINAL
READING IN APRIL. SO THAT OUR FAMILIES HAVE SUFFICIENT NOTICE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND THAT BEING SAID, THIS ISN'T A DRASTIC CHANGE FOR MOST OF OUR SCHOOLS. AND SOY WE DON'T EXPECT SHOCK
WAVES BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE OUR FAMILIES TIME. >> ONE MORE CLARIFYING QUESTION. IF I WAS I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO ADD TO THE POLICY.
WE WANT BUY IN AND CONSISTENCY. IS THERE A SPECIAL ASK FROM THE BOARD THAT WE WANT TO PUT IN THE POLICY? >> DOES ANYONE HAVE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE TO THE POLICY THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND? DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> I WOULD CLARIFY UNTIL THE POLICY -- LET PLEA PULL IT BACK
UP AGAIN. THAT BUILDING LEADERS CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THE POLICY. OR BUILDING LEADERS OR THEIR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THE POLICY FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES. OR FOR ACADEMIC USE AS REQUESTED BY AN EDUCATOR. >> I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE SUFFICIENT. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LEAVING IT TO THE BUILDING LEADERS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED
ABSOLUTE CONSISTENCY AND PERSONAL EXCEPTIONS. I DON'T THINK -- I THINK OUR BUILDING LEADERS DISLIKE CELLPHONES AS MUCH AS WE DO. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE AND THEN DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> YEAH, MY ONE CAUTION OF THAT WOULD BE THAT OUR BUILDING -- OUR HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING LEADERS HAVE, YOU KNOW, 2,000 KIDS.
AND SO THEY CAN'T BE THE ONE THAT SOMEBODY IS TRACKING DOWN EVERY TIME THERE IS AN URGENT SITUATION. SO I THINK THAT THE POLICY AS ITS CONTEMPLATED RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE TEACHERS WOULD HAVE THAT ABILITY TO MAKE THAT EXCEPTION FOR A STUDENT.
I WANT YOU TO BE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF THE BUILDERS LEADERS WITH 2,000 KID. >> BUILDING LEADERS OR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE. IF THE BUILDING READER WANTED TO SIGN TO THE TEACHER. AND THAT'S TO HIS OR HER DUTIES I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT EITHER.
>> IF I MAY VERY QUICKLY. I WILL PART OF THE CLARITY I THINK DIRECTOR MEEK YOU HAD MENTIONED. IS CONTAIN ED IN THE -- OR POLICY. NEXT TIME WE CAN BRING -- WE'LL
REBRING BACK OUR POLICY SO THE BOARD HAS BOTH OF THOSE AND THE BOARD CAN PULL FROM ONE OR BRING TO THE OTHER IF THEY LIKE. >> THE REGULATION? >> YES. YES. IF THAT'S OKAY. >> YEAH.
>> THAT'S GREAT. >> DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> JUST A POINT OF ORDER. >> YES, DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> WE ARE 29 MINUTES OVER. >> WE ARE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WRAP US UP. >> SORRY. >> AM NOT SEEING ANY OTHER BURNING QUESTIONS, CLAIRE PAYING
QUESTIONS, SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. >> YOU ARE AWESOME, CREW. THANK YOU. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE CLARITY THERE ARE NO CHANGES FROM THE BOARD TO THE SECOND READING AS LONG AS WE ADDRESS
DIRECTOR GEIGER'S COMMENT IN THE "R." >> OKAY. >> I AM ONE DIRECTOR. SO. >> GET USED TO IT. >> I DIDN'T. NO. BIG CHANGES.
I THINK WHAT I WOULD JUST CAUTION IS DO WE STILL HAVE THE FEEDBACK FORM UP ON THE WEBSITE. ARE WE STILL TAKING FEEDBACK ON THE POLICY. OFF IS THAT CLOSED? >> WE WILL DO -- OUR PROCESS WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD DO
ANOTHER ROUND BECAUSE IT ISN'T FINALLY APPROVED. WE'LL JUST PUT THE SAME FORM AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON THE SAME POLICY THEY WEIGHTED IN ON LAST TIME. >> YEP. >> GREAT. THANK YOU AGAIN. WE RILE APPRECIATE IT YOUR EXPERTISE. >> THANK THINK CREW, ARE AWESOME. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. AND THANKS FOR PUSHING US FORWARD DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. SO WITH THAT, WE ARE ONTO ITEM 10.2. COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS DEBRIEF ON MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION. AND A REVIEW OF OUR LICENSED CLASSIFIED EDUCATOR DISCUSSION
THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS THURSDAY. WITH THAT I WANT TO REALLY THANK DIRECTOR DENZLER FOR HER WORK IN PULLING TOGETHER THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD RECENTLY THE SUMMARY IS ON THE BOARD PACK THE.
PACKET AND MAYBE JUST OPEN IT UP FOR ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FIRST ON THE SUMMARY. AND OUR GOAL TONIGHT IS REALLY TO TALK THROUGH THIS IS KEY REFLECTION QUESTIONS AT THE END. HOPEFULLY EVERYONE HAS HAD A CHANCE TO READ THROUGH THE SUMMARY.
BUT DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE SUMMARY? >> IF I MAY PRESIDENT MEEK REAL QUICK. DO I NEED TO MOVE THE AGENDA IF YOU WANT I WANT I CAN TO TALK ABOUT THE QUESTION FOR THE SENIOR CITIZEN COMMUNITY
QUESTIONS. >> NO. IT'S ON HERE. >> I APOLOGIZE FOR THE OVERSIGHT ON THAT. >> THAT'S FINE. THE WAY THIS PROCESS WORKS SAFE WE HAVE AN ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY THE BOARD HAS A
CHANCE TO DEBRIEF AND THERE ARE KEY QUESTIONS. THE AT THAT WE COVER AT THE END. DO YOU WANT TO WALK THROUGH THOSE, DOOR DO YOU WANT ME TO? IT'S UP TO YOU. >> I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TAKE THE REINS ON THIS. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I NEED MORE SEASONED
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS DIRECTOR. BUT I AM HAPPY TO CHIME IN AT ANY POINT. >> ALL RIGHT. DIRECTOR DENZLER WILL COMPILE. WHAT WE SHERATON. BASED ON OUR REFLECTIONS.
THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT INSIGHTS HAVE WE GAINED FROM THIS ENGAGE. OPPORTUNITY. AND I'LL GET US STARTED WITH A FEW THAT I PREPARED. JUST REALLY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CROSS-AGENCY PARTNERSHIP. REALLY RESONATING WITH ME.
ESPECIALLY AROUND MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS BE WNBA IT BEING A SOCIETAL CHALLENGE AND IMPACT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIP WITH FAMILIES AND THE CONVERSATION OVERLOAD THAT OUR FAMILIES FACE IN TRYING TO
ENGAGE WITH THEM ON THIS TOPIC AND THEN THE IMPORTANCE OF TRACKING RESILIENCE, EMOTIONAL REGULATION. AND RESPONSIBLE TECHNOLOGY ENGAGEMENT. THOSE SEEM TO BE THE THREE AREAS
THAT REALLY RESONATED WITH ME. OTHERS? DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> ONE I WAS STRUCK BY THE BREADTH OF OUR RESPOND ENDS SOUTH METRO FIRE DISTRICT. SHERIFF DEPARTMENT CRIES I
RESPONSE SIEVE, CASA DOUGLAS COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH. TWO OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. I HAVE A LETS SOMEWHERE. AND THE DEATH OF THOUGHT THEY HAD PUT IN TO THIS.
MOST STRIKE THE SINGLE LARGEST SERVED POPULATION AT THE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM IS CHILDREN UNDER 17. IT IS OUR KIDS DEALING WITH CRISES, WHO ARE DEALING WITH ISSUES. YOU KNOW, THEY WERE INTERESTING
DISCUSSED ABOUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS AND HOW IT HAPPENS. BUT BUT IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT FROM ALL THE REPORTING AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THAT OUR KIDS CONTINUE TO BE FACING SOME
REALLY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES. AND THAT THE COMMUNITY -- I AM OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN NONE OF THIS EXISTED. THE COMMUNITY IS WORKING VERY HARD TO COME TOGETHER AND HELPING WITH THIS. I WAS VERY MUCH STRUCK THAT EVERY SINGLE PROVIDER INDICATED
THAT THEY HAD A GOOD PARTNER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS. THAT MATTER A GREAT DEAL. THAT'S A GREAT DEAL OF COMPLIMENTS TO OUR STAFF AND PEOPLE.
ANYONE ELSE, DIRECTOR PARKER. >> SURE. I JUST LOVED HEARING THE COMMUNALITY'S INPUT ON THE CELLPHONE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL TO KNOW BECAUSE I THINK WHEN WE THINK ABOUT CELLPHONE BANS AT LEAST I THINK ABOUT
CRISIS YOU KNOW, WILL IT HINDER OR HELP OUR KIDS. AND SO HEARING WHAT BOTH POLICE FIREFIGHTERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SAID WAS QUITE INTERESTING. AND SURPRISED ME TO BE HONEST. >> AND WE HEARD FROM THEM NOT
JUST IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY BUT PARENTS AS WELL. >> YEAH. >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD DIRECTOR DENZLER? >> NO, THAT KIND OF -- THEY HAVE STOLEN ALL OF MY IDEAS. NO. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE
CONVERSATION HAS BEEN SAID. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE AS WELL. AND I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU CAN CHIME IN IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE AS WELL. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATED THE CONVERSATION DIRECTOR DENZLER THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN
DOING THAT AND I, TOO, WAS ACTUALLY JUST LIKE DIRECTOR PARKER, I WAS VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR THEIR POSITIONS BOTH IN THE PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY. AND MOST OF THEM WERE PARENTS OF DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENTS AND SO THEY ALSO HAD
THAT PERSPECTIVE. I THOUGHT THAT POSITIONS ALIGNED REALLY WELL WITH THE POLICY THAT YOU JUST LOOKED AT. >> GREAT. I WILL MOVE US TO THE SECOND QUESTION. ARE THERE CAUTIONS ABOUT HOW WE
SHOULD GENERALIZE THIS INFORMATION. >> THIS USUALLY SPEAKS TO IS THE GROUP REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE STAKEHOLDER THAT WE WERE TRYING TO SPEAK TO. >> I DON'T, AGAIN, I WAS STRUCK BY HOW BROAD THE CONTRIBUTION
WAS. AND THESE ARE THE FRONTLINE PROVIDERS. >> I GUESS IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM TREATMENT PROVIDERS AS WELL. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I THINK THERE IS VALUABLE INFORMATION PARTICULARLY ABOUT HOW WE ARE
DEALING WITH KIDS IN A CRISIS IN SCHOOL F WE TABLE IT WITH THAT LENS, I THINK WE GOT A VERY GOOD IMPACT FROM THE PEOPLE. >> I THINK I WOULD SAY THAT OF COURSE THESE ARE THE PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY SEEING STUDENTS
IN CRISIS, RIGHT? IF WE HAVE A CAUTION ABOUT GENERALIZING THIS INFORMATION, IT'S THAT THEY MY NOT BE WOULD BEING WITH OUR ENTIRE POPULATION OF STUDENTS. I THINK THAT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND, THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT THEY SEE MIGHT NOT BE
AFFECTING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, ALTHOUGH I TEND TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF -- AURA LINE WITH DIRECTOR GEIGER AND SAYING THAT I THINK THAT THIS WAS A PRETTY BROAD CONSTITUENCY GROUP BUT I THINK A LOT OF THEIR INSIGHTS ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL IF NOT MOST OF OUR STUDENTS.
>> MY THOUGHTS ON THIS QUESTION? IF NOT I WILL MOVE TO THE NEXT QUESTION. DOES THIS INFORMATION SUGGEST THE NEED FOR ANY NEW OR REVISED ENDS? SO BIG PART OF THIS PROCESS IS LOOKING TO SEE ARE WE LEARNING ANYTHING THAT SHOULD HELP INFORM OUR ENDS?
WHAT ARE, Y OUR GOALS THAT WE AE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? AS PEOPLE ARE THINKING I WILL SHARE THINK FOR ME IT WAS REALLY ENSURING THAT THE MONITORING INDICATORS UNDER OUR ENDS TWO, BE WHICH IS COMING UP, MEANINGFUL I CAPTURE
MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING TRENDS. THEY IF I HAD WELL UNDER THAT ENDS WOULD AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I AM THINK BEEN WITH THE LANGUAGE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE LANGUAGE NEEDS TO CHANGE, BUT I DO THINK THAT MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
GETTING EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THAT THOSE TRENDS IN MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. >> AND I TO THINK ADD TO THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS WOULD NECESSARILY UNTIL AND OF ITSELF AN END, BUT I WAS JUST REALLY STRUCK BY THE SROs TALKING
ABOUT PULLING VAPE PENS OFF FIRST GRADERS AND TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS REALLY NOT LIKE A PROGRAM TO INFORM FIRST GRADERS ON, YOU KNOW, THE DANGERS OF VAPING THE WAY THERE ARE FOR OLDER STUDENTS I DON'T KNOW THAT I AM EXACTLY ANSWERING
THE QUESTION. BUT I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO VIEW OUR ENDS AND REMIND OURSELVES THAT THEY ARE FOR ALL STUDENTS NOT JUST FOR THE OLDER STUDENTS. ESPECIALLY TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH TRENDS AND, YOU KNOW,
POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO SUBSTANCES. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH DIRECTOR [ INAUDIBLE ] IT WAS A CONSISTENT THEME THAT WE ARE SEEING PROBLEMS THAT WE USED TO ASSOCIATE WITH AHEAD LENS ENDS IN CHILDREN NOT YET REACHED
ADOLESCENCE, PROBLEMS WITH CELLPHONES, BULLIES, ONLINE BULLYING, DRUG USE. AND SO I THINK AS WE EVALUATE ENDS AND DO MONITORING REPORTS WELL CONTINUE TO SEE THE DISTRICT I THINK HAVING TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES WITH YOUNGER AND YOUNGER AGES.
THINGS WELL DID IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WE NEED TO DO IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND THAT IS A REALITY. >> WHICH GETS TO ME THINKING ABOUT THE MONITORING DATA. SO WE CAN KIND OF TRACK THE NEED RIGHT?
AND BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO FAMILIES. AROUND WHAT THAT NEED MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND WHY THERE MIGHT BEING, YOU KNOW, EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED AT EARLIER AGES. THAN IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH SCHOOL.
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT QUESTION BEFORE I TAKE US TO WHAT FURTHER QUESTIONS DOES IT RAISE? WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE BASED ON THE CONVERSATION.
>> IF I MAY, I THINK BOTH FURTHER QUESTIONS AND WHAT'S NEXT STEPS IS, YOU KNOW, I SPECIFICALLY ASK THE QUESTION WHEN THERE ARE IN CRISIS, AND WHAT ROLE, IF ANY, I THINK WE CAN PLAY SOME INCOME TRYING TO -- THEY SEE A LOT DURING THE
SUMMER WHEN WE ARE NOT THERE PROVIDING SUPPORT. IT SPEAKS TO WHAT WE DO DURING THE YEAR BUT I THINK WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPLOSION AS A DISTRICT IN WHAT WAYS WE CAN SUPPORT KIDS WHEN THEY ARE NOT APPROXIMATE IN SCHOOL.
HOW WE CAN INOCULATE THEM ON THEIR WAY THOUSAND HECK DEAL WITH NOT ISSUES. IT'S VERY CLEAR TO ME, THAT WE ARE DOING GRAY GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO MAKE HOUR SCHOOLS PLACES TO HELP WITH THAT. AND WHILE WE ARE NOT TECHNICALLY RESPONSIBLE. WHILE THEY ARE HOME DURING THE SUMMER, I THINK THERE ARE THINGS
THAT WE CAN WORK WITH, MEN THE HEALTH PROVIDERS. I AM NOT AN EXPERT BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM EXPERTS ABOUT WHAT MORE WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THE KITS WHEN THEY WERE OUT
WHILE NEVER NOT OUT HARVESTING THE GRAPE LIKE THEY USED TO. >> FOR ME IT RAISES THE QUESTION WHAT MORE CAN WE DO WITH KWHAOUPB CAN I PARTNERS. DOUGLAS COUNTY YOUTH INITIATIVE OTHER AGENCIES THAT WE ALL LIAISE TO, WE HAVE COMMUNITY STAKE HOLD THAT'S CAN'T TO HELP
AND ARE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO HELPFUL IT'S JUST WHAT OTHER POLL I BELIEVE OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE THERE PARTNER WITH EXTERNAL AGENCIES FOR MORE WRAP AROUND SERVICES OR WHATEVER THE NEED MAY BE. >> A ADDED A POLL QUESTION ON
THE COMMUNITY'S INTEREST IN PARTNERSHIPS. TO HELP AHEAD SOME OF THESE AREAS. AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE FEEDBACK LOOKS LIKE. AND FOR ME, I KNOW, YOU PROBABLY
ALL GET SO TIRED OF ME TALKING ABOUT MONITORING REPORTS I AM ALWAYS ASKING ABOUT THE MELT RICK, WHAT ARE THE MET KICK THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT AND YOU KNOW, CRT DATA. SAFE TO TELL TRENDS ADULT MENTAL
HEALTH INDICATORS, SUBSTANCE USE DATA. SOME THINGS THAT WEREN'T MENTIONED THAT I DO THINK ALSO RELATE, LIKE AROUND ATTENDANCE, AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. DISCIPLINE TRENDS, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ALL INDICATORS.
I THINK IF WE CAN LOOK AND DISAGGREGATE ACROSS GREAT LEVELS, TOO, TO IDENTIFY TRENDS COULD BE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL. >> FORKED EDIFICATION OF THE LISTENER, CRT IN THIS INSTANCE MEANS CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM.
>> THANK YOU. YES. ANYTHING ELSE ON IDEAS ON FURTHER QUESTIONS THAT IT MIGHT RAISE FOR YOU. OR EVEN NEXT STEPS ON WHAT WE
WANT TO COMMIT TO DOING AS A BOARD. >> WHAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO IN RESPONSE TO THE YOUNGER CHILDREN BEING EXPOSED TO WHAT THEY ARE BEING EXPOSED TO?
WHAT WOULD BE SOMETHING REALISTICALLY THAT WE COULD DO. >> I THINK IT'S JUST TRACKING THE DATA. LIKE RIGHT, TO IDENTIFY. IF THERE IS A NEED OR WHAT THAT NEED LOOKS LIKE. THE NEXT STEP THAT RESONATE TODAY ME.
SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED WAS COMMUNICATION OVERLOAD. PARENTS AND FAMILIES GET EMAIL FROM THE SCHOOL, THE DISTRICT. AND YOU KNOW, AND PEOPLE ARE JUST OVERWHELMED WITH COMMUNICATIONS.
SO, KNOW, SOME BOARD DIRECTORS HAVE Facebook PAGES SO MAYBE BEING ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INTENTIONAL WITH PUSHING OUT INFORMATION. WHEN THERE ARE EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES AND USING THAT AS A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL.
ONE FURTHER COMMUNICATION CHANNEL. WE HAVE ACROSS THE BOARD IS VERY SPECIFIC, RIGHT? TO JUST EXPLAINING WHAT THE BOARD HAS COVERED AND WHAT VOTES HAVE ROOKED LIKE. BUT IT'S OUR COMMUNICATION TOOL. IF WE WANT TO CHOOSE TO TRY TO
EXPAND IT IN ANY WAY. I MEAN, THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. FOR US TO CONSIDER. BUT REALLY THAT COMMUNICATION KIND OF RESONATED WITH ME IN THE CONVERSATION. SO THAT WAS JUST ONE IDEA THATI HAD. >> FOR ME WHAT I LEFT THINKING
ABOUT WAS THAT IF WE COULD POTENTIALLY INVITES PARTNERS TO COME PRESENT AT A BOARD MEETING ABOUT THE DATE THAT THEY ARE SEEING THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED. HEARING FROM THE SROs AND SOME OF THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND CRT TEAMS CAN BE REALLY BENEFICIAL BECAUSE, AGAIN, LIKE
AS A PARENT, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS WERE GOING ON IN YOUNGER AND YOUNGER KIDS. IT'S EVERYWHERE. NOT JUST DOUGLAS COUNTY I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR THIS IS IN THE A REFLECTION ON THE COMMUNITY IT'S A REFLECTION ON THE BROADER SOCIETAL SHIFTS TOWARDS CHILDREN HAVING TO GROW
UP YOUNGER AND YOUNGER IN LARGE PART THANKS TO ASSOCIATES MEDIA. THAT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL FROM THE COMMUNITY, SOME PARTNERS A THE A BOARD MEETING IF WE WERE ABLE TO INVITE THEM TO PRESENT. >> I HEARD TERMS THAT I HAD NO
IDEA WHAT THEY WERE MEAN, LIKE THE TOBACCO POUCHES OR WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS TOPIC BEFORE WE WRAP IT UP AND DO A QUICK PREVIEW. DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> JUST WANTED TO THANK THE
ORGANIZERS FOR GIVING GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE THERE. HAVING A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE GROUP. AND I THOUGHT DIRECTOR DENZLER DID AN EXCELLENT JOB LEADING THE WAY IT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY FELT UNWILLING TO TALK.
>> I THINK THEY FELT VERY APPRECIATIVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND ARE LOOKING FOR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIPS. SO IT WAS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU MANSLAUGHTER RUSSIAS WELL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PULLING THAT
TOGETHER. >> ANY, WE WANTED TO THANK STAFF, MS. RAUCH IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING TO HAVE SO MANY STAKE HOLDER AND MANAGE THE INVITES AND EVERYTHING. AND TO TAKE MY FRANTIC CALLINGS
ARE LIKE A THINK FORGETTING ANYTHING. >> WE HAVE 3 1/2 MINUTES LEFT TO REVIEW QUESTIONS. FOR THE UPCOMING SESSION THAT WE HAVE. DOCUMENT TO GIVE A BIG OVERVIEW? >> SURE. YEAH, WE HAVE THREE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS MEETINGS COMING UP.
AND OUR NEXT ONE IS ACTUALLY THIS THURSDAY NIGHT WE HAVE CLASSIFIED STAFF. MS. RAUCH WAS AMAZING GETTING SO MANY CLASSIFIED STAFF INVITES THAT WE HAVE OVER 40 PEOPLE WHO HAVE RSVP'D THAT WE WOULD COME. WE HAVE TWO SCHOOL BOARD
DIRECTORS, WHO HAVE SAID AT THAT THEY WILL COME ON THURSDAY, IF YOU ARE AT ALL AVAILABLE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE. WE ARE LIKELY TO DO SOME SORT OF ROUND ROBIN. SCENARIO JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE CLASSIFIED STAFF COMMUNITY THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE HEARD AND WE WANT TO GIVE THEM THAT
OPPORTUNITY. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME THURSDAY IT'S A CAUCUS NIGHT. BUT IF YOU ARE NOT CAUCUSING, I WOULD IMPLORE YOU TO CONSIDER COMING ANDING IS A WONDERFUL TIME AT THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF. WE WILL THEN HAVE ONE FOR LICENSED STAFF. AFTER SPRING BREAK AND THEN IN
THE MIDDLE. -- OR BETWEEN THE TWO WE HAVE A COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS BREAKFAST FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZEN COMMUNITY. SO MY IMMEDIATE ASKS TONIGHT ARE THAT WE NEED TO WE WANT TO SUES THE SAME QUESTIONS WITH BOTH
STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITIES SO WE CAN LOOK FOR TRENDS OR COMPARE AND CONTRAST DATA FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, WE HAVE -- AND ACTUALLY FOR ALL OF OUR CONSTITUENCIES, WE HAVE PAST QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN USED. SO I WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK AND
SEE IF WE ARE HAPPY WITH THOSE QUESTIONS, BEFORE I TELL YOU WHAT THE QUESTIONS WERE FROM THE PAST, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO SENIOR CITIZEN IS BECAUSE I DON'T ANTICIPATE MUCH CHANGE THERE ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS THAT COME TO MIND THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO US DISCUSS
WITH CLASSIFIED AND LICENSED STAFF? AND. >> I THINK IT'S A WASTED OPPORTUNITY TO NOT TALK ABOUT
[ INAUDIBLE ] STAFF. >> SO SPECIFICALLY SPEAK TO THE DRAFT POLICY THAT IS IN THE SECOND READING GOING ON THIRD. OKAY.
THE ORIGINAL THINKING THIS YEAR FOR THESE ENGAGEMENTS, REALLY WAS AROUND ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE BOARDS END STATEMENTS AND THE NEW STRATEGIC PLAN WITH THE NEW STRATEGIC PLAN ROLLING OUT. AND THEN DOES THIS NEW STRATEGIC
PLAN PROACTIVE ADDRESS THOSE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT YOU BELIEVE THE DISTRICT WILL FACE IN THE COMING YEARS? AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION THAT WAS OUT THERE, WAS WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL HEARD, SEEN, AND VALUED? IN YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THE
DISTRICT AND THE BOARD. THOSE WERE THE ORIGINAL QUESTIONS THAT WERE OUT THERE FOR YOU TO CONTEMPLATE. >> AUTHORIZE THE QUESTIONS FOR THE SENIOR CITIZEN COMMUNITY AS WELL. >> I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE FOR THE STAFF. I THINK GENERALLY WE CAN
PROBABLY PUT THE CELLPHONES IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN DISCUSSION, BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY. >> I THINK MY ONLY CONCERN ABOUT THE WAY THE QUESTIONS ARE WORD
AND I CAN PLAY THE WITH WORKED. SOME SEEM TO ME VAGUE ENOUGH AS TO ESSENTIALLY PIVOT INTO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OPERATIONS. THAT IS A CONCERN THAT I HAVE. AGAIN, YOU ALL HAVE MORE EXPENSE
WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THAN I DO. WE CAN IN A NARROW THE FOLK TO US STICK WITH THE BOARD'S PURVIEW. SUPERINTENDENT KANE, WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK TO AS WELL?
AND THEN I'LL OPEN IT UP. >> YES, I WAS GOING TO A LITTLE BIT REPEAT WHAT DIRECTOR DENZLER JUST SAID AS THE STRATEGIC PLAN HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL WORK TO GET TO THE BOARD ENDS BUT ALSO I
WOULD I D LOVE' OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND THEM WHAT THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS AND SHARE THEM WITH THEM BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY HAVE COMMUNICATED IT OUT TO THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY ARE BURIED IN A MILLION THINGS EVERY DAY AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH EITHER THE ENDS OR THE STRATEGIC PLAN. SO I MIGHT NEED TO GIVE TESTIMONY AN OVERVIEW IF THAT
WOULD AB APPROPRIATE IF WE ARE GOING TO BE EVALUATING THE STRATEGIC PLAN. >> I WONDER MAYBE IF ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING. HOW WOULD YOU OR TAKE LATE IT. THAT MIGHT BE AN AVENUE TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE WORD. I AM HAPPY TO DRAFT UP QUESTIONS AND, THEY HAPPENED SEND THOSE FOR BOARD APPROVAL IF THAT IS HELPFUL. THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
I KNOW THAT I AM SIGNED UP FOR THURSDAY. >> NOW THE ON THE CALENDAR. >> I HAVE IT ON MY CALENDAR. >> IT'S MY MINE, TOO. BUT I JUST -- I THINK SENT IT IN. SO MAYBE RAISE YOUR HAND.
WHO WILL BE THERE. >> WE ARE TWO MORE LATER THIS MONTH. THEY ARE EIGHT GRAY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT. AND SECOND WE REALLY NEED YOU. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
WE ARE GOING INTO ITEM 10.3 BOARD POLICY, BE SCHOOL BORED MEETING SECOND READING. AND WE HAVE A 5-MINUTE DISCUSSION ON THIS. AND THEN WE ARE PLANNING TO TAKE A VOTE. AND WITH THAT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE IS A PRESENTATION OR IF
I JUST WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE POLICY. THE PROPOSED UPDATED POLICY. MAYBE WE CAN PUT THAT UP. THANK YOU. READING MY MIND.
SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> YES, WHOEVER JUST BROUGHT THE POLICY IF YOU CAN BRING UP THE REDLINE VERSION THAT MIGHT BEING EASIER FOR THE BOARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THE REDLINE SIMPLY REFLECTS THE FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD
DURING THE PHYSICIAN READING. DIRECTOR RYAN. >> SO THE MINUTES CHANGE.
DOES THAT MEAN EFFECTIVELY AT SESSIONS WHERE LIKE ON THE 17TH. WE DIDN'T TAKE ACTION WE WILL NOT HAVE A RECORD AND WE WILL NOT HAVE MINUTES? >> OKAY, THE PROVISION RELATED TO MINUTES IS INCLUDED AND IT IS
CONSISTENT WITH OUR POLICY ON MINUTES. BUT MINUTES NEED TO BE TAKEN AT A REGULAR OR SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD WHEN THERE IS AN ADOPTION OF A POLICY OR A FORMAL ACTION OCCURS. SO THAT'S LIKE THE BASELINE STANDARD. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
POLICY REFLECTS WHEN MINUTES MUST BE TAKEN. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE TAKEN FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU ARE CONGREGATING. FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR UPCOMING MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT. THREE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WILL BE THERE.
AND YOU HAVE TO NOTICE THAT OR UNDER YOUR POLICY, UNDER THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE POLICY, BECAUSE IT IS A MEETING WHERE PUBLIC BUSINESS MAY BE DISCUSSED. AND SO THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE
NOTICED. AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WHEN FORMAL ACTION IS TAKEN. MINUTES UNDER THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, ONLY NEED TO BE TAKEN WHEN FORMAL ACTION IS TAKEN AND LOGICALLY THAT FLOWS FROM THE FACT THAT WE NEED A RECORD OF
WHEN FORMAL ACTION IS TAKEN. OUR MINUTES POLICY IS VERY SPECIFIC. AND BASED ON THE COMMENTS THAT WERE REFLECTED AND I SHOULDN'T SAY REFLECTED, SHARED BY BOARD MEMBERS AT THE LAST MEETING, THERE WAS I THINK A SUGGESTION
THAT THERE BE A LINK TO THE OTHER POLICIES IN THE "B" SECTION. AND THERE IS A VERY SPECIFIC POLICY REGARDING MINUTES IN THE "B" SECTION OF THE BOARD GOVERNANCE POLICIES.
AND I INSERTED THE MINUTES FOR THE PURPOSE OF IDENTIFYING WHEN MINUTES NEED TO BE TAKEN UNDER THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT. AND YOU WERE THE SCHOOL CODE. SO THAT IT WAS CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC AND BOARD WHEN MINUTES
NEED TO BE TAKEN UNDER THE LAW. I ALSO MAILED A REVISION ON THE CROSS-REFENCES WHICH WAS ALSO SUGGESTED BY THE BOARD. TO PROVIDE CROSS-REFERENCES TO ALL OF THE OTHER POLICIES THAT RELATE TO SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. AND THOSE ARE -- THOSE CHANGES
ARE REFLECTED IN THE RED LINES AS WELL. AND THEN WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PARAGRAPH, THAT WAS REVISED TO REFLECT AND EXPLAIN WHAT WOULD A REGULAR MEETING IS. WHAT A SPECIAL MEETING IS.
AS THERE APPEARED TO BE SOME CONFUSION AND LACK OF PARTICULARITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT IN OUR POLICY. >> SUPERINTENDENT CAIN. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNSEL LOS ANGELES FLESH THE QUICKER IS TO YOUR QUESTION IS
THIS POLICY DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE MINUTES FOR THE BOARD EDUCATION SESSION THAT TOOK PLACE LAST WEEK. >> WHAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT IS WE HAVE STARTED ADDING THOSE TO THE CALENDAR. SO THE COMMUNITY CAN READILY SEE
THOSE MEETINGS SO IF YOU LOOK AT LAST WEEK, WE HAD THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS ADDED TO THE DILIGENT ELECTRONIC CALENDAR. AS WELL IS THE BULLYING SESSION
WE HELD LAST WEEK THOSE ARE TWO EXAMPLES WHERE MINUTES WERE NOT TAKEN BUT WE ARE POST AND THEY ARE TRANSPARENT AND IT'S OPEN FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SEE. DIRECTOR RYAN. >> I GUESS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO
HIGHLIGHT IS THE 17th WAS THE CONCERN TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WANTED THE MONITORING REPORT TO LOOK. WE HAVE MINUTES FOR THOSE, THE POLICY DOESN'T REQUIRE IT. I THINK THAT JUST FURTHER UNDERLINES THE NEED THAT NEED TO
BE BROUGHT UP. IT'S NOT REQUIRED, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM FINE WITH THE POLICY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE AS A GOAL GOING FORWARD. >> FEBRUARY 17th WAS A WORK SESSION.
OF THE BOARD WHERE WE DID TAKE MINUTES. >> YES, BUT THE POLICY DID NOT REQUIRED. THIS POLICY WOULD NOT REQUIRE IT, CORRECT? >> I WOULD KNEE NEED TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT THE MINUTES
POLICY THIS RELATES TO THIS SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT SUGGEST THOSE ARE REQUIRED BECAUSE ADOPTION OF A POLICY ARE FORMAL ACTION DID NOT OCCUR AT THAT MEETING. THIS SECTION WAS TO -- THIS ADDITION WAS TO IDENTIFY WHEN
THEY MANDATED UNDER THE LAW. SO IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE POLICY WITH A CROSS-REFERENCE TO THE MINUTES POLICY NOTICED IN THE CROSS-REFERENCE SECTION. DIRECTOR RYAN. >> I DO HAVE THAT ALSO PULLED UP.
JUST TO BE CLEAR. BEDG OUR MINUTES POLICY SAYS MINUTES OF ANY BOARD AT WHICH THE ON DOINGS OF FORMAL POLICY OR FORMAL ACTION OCCURS OR COULD OCCUR. SO THUS THAT DOES NOT REQUIRED IT EITHER. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY
REPORT GOING TO BE TAKEN HOWEVER. AND SO THE PRACTICE OF THE BOARD COULD BE DIFFERENT THIS IS IDENTIFYING IN POLICY WHAT THE LEGAL REQUIREMENT IS. TO ASSURE THAT OUR BOARD IS COME PLYING WITH THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
WHICH IS A TYPICAL PRACTICE FOR DRAFTING POLICIES FOR GOVERNANCE OF A BOARD OF EM SAYING. >> DIRECTOR PARKER. >> IF WE ADD MINUTES TO THIS POLICY, WE WILL BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE IN OUR MINUTES
POLICY? >> THIS POLICY AND OUR MINUTES POLICY ARE CONSISTENT. >> RIGHT. >> WE ARE PRESENTLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY AND OUR MINUTES POLICY, BUT WE ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND BECAUSE
WE ARE ALSO TAKING MINUTES WHERE FORMAL ACTION IS NOT BEING TAKEN. >> YES. >> AT OUR MEETINGS SUCH AS THE WORK SESSION WHICH OCCURRED AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING. >> AND SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, THOUGH, IF WE WOULD ADD MINUTES, WHICH WE ARE NOT, BUT
IF WE WOULD ADD MINUTES INTO THIS POLICY THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT EVERY TIME WE WERE AT A WORK SESSION, WE WOULD ARE THEY WOULD THEN BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH OUR MINUTES POLICY. >> THAT IS THE CONCERN THAT WOULD BE VERY REAL FOR THIS
BOARD OF EDUCATION AS WELL AS THE BOARD SECRETARY BECAUSE THERE WOULDN'T BE A CLEAR LINE AS TO WHEN MINUTES MUST BE TAKEN. >> OKAY. >> DIRECTOR COME HAPPEN.
>> CAN I MAKE A MOTION? >> TO ADOPT THE POLICY? >> SURE. AND THEN WE CAN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION. SO IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR CALLAHAN.
AND THAT THE BOARD ADOPT POLICY BENCH E. >> SECOND. >> AND SECONDED BY DIRECTED TOUR GEIGER. SO NOW WE CAN CONTINUE WITH DISCUSSION. DIRECTOR RYAN.
>> SO I KNOW I BROUGHT THE ISSUE I HERE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A NECESSARY ISSUE WITH THE POLICY. BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SORT OF THING IS GOING FORWARD AS BOARD IF THAT MEANS THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT POLICY ENACTED THAT DEALS WITH THAT SORT OF RECORDING FOR WORK
SESSIONS LIKE ON THE 17 ON THIS. SO BE IT. I THINK THIS DOES COVER I THINK THAT HE IS APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT THAT POLICY IS SUPPOSED TO BE AIMING AT BUT I THINK IT'S WORLD
WHILE TO GO BEYOND WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES. >> OTHER DISCUSSION? >> AND I WANT TO ARE YOU MIND EVERYONE THAT THIS IS A POLICY FOR US IN THE FUTURE. IF THESE SEVEN PEOPLE THINK WE SHOULD HAVE MORE CONSISTENT FEEDBACK TO THE COMMUNITY I AM
IN FAVOR OF THAT. I THINK THE FEEDBACK FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH AND THE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS FEEDBACK ALL BEING IN THE PROCESS -- ALL BEING IN THE PROCESS MATTER. BUT I THINK THIS POLICY SETTING A MINIMUM, IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW.
FUTURE BOARD MAY HAVE FUTURE REQUIREMENTS. I MAY NOT AGREE WITH THOSE BUT I THINK THIS POLICY WORKS AS IT DOES NOW TO SET OUR MINIMUM AND THEN WE CAN DECIDE IF OTHER MEETINGS SHOULD HAVE MINUTES OR OTHER KIND OF FEEDBACK OUT. I DON'T LIKE SAYING MINUTES BECAUSE THAT IS A SPECIFIC TYPE
OF REPORT OUT. AND I THINK SETTING THIS POLICY AS TO THE MEETINGS, I WOULD LIKE US TO PUB SIDES BIG MEETINGS MORE, I WOULD LIKE US TO LIVE STREAM MEETINGS MORE, WE HAVE ISSUES WITH THAT. I THINK THIS POLICY RIGHT NOW SETS OUR APPROPRIATE MINIMUMS AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE TO
EXPLORE PRACTICE THAT EXPANDS BEYOND THIS. >> DIRECTOR PARKER, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OR COMMENT. >> YEAH, I JUST DON'T LIKE THE MINIMUM. I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S ENOUGH.
>> DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. >> YEAH, I WOULD LIKE -- I WOULD LIKE PUT THAT I KNOW THAT WE HAVE IT IN THE BUDGET TO DO LIVE STREAMING. WE HAVE A MEMO. I WOULD LIKE BY A CERTAIN DATE IN THE POLICY THAT WE LIVE
STREAM OUR WORK SESSIONS. LIKE GIVE US A DEADLINE. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> YEAH, YOU CAN 100 PERCENT LIVE STREAM ANY BOARD MEETING THAT YOU WANT IT JUST HAS TO BE
IN THIS ROOM. >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. TO ADOPT POLICY BE. ARE WE READY TO TAKE A VOTE ON
THIS POLICY? >> I DON'T KNOW. >> THAT ALL WORK SESSIONS WOULD BE IN HERE? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE ASKING, DIRECTOR GOINGER?
>> INNING UP. >> CAN WE EVEN PUT THAT IN THE POLL SILL, NO, RIGHT? >> SO I THINK IF THERE IS AN AMENDMENT IT MAKES SENSE TO NOT PUSH IT THROUGH AND VOTE TONIGHT ON AN AMENDMENT.
SO I THINK EITHER ADOPTING THIS TONIGHT OR PUSHING IT OFF FOR A FUTURE READING. WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE I HESITATE TO TRY TO CREATE NEW LANGUAGE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO VET OR --
>> I AGREE. >> YEAH. >> THIS HAS BEEN VETTED AND IS BEFORE US. SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION THAT'S OPEN. AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH DISCUSSION, SO I WILL CALL ROLL
CALL. DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK, AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> NO.
>> AND DIRECTOR RYAN. >> AYE. SO THE MOTION PASSES 5-1. AND I DO SAY WE CAN CONTINUE TO ROOK TO PROVIDE GREATER CLARITY AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO WITH THAT, LET'S MOVE FORWARD TO OUR LEAN COMBATIVE UPDATE WHERE WE HAVE A 5-MINUTE UPDATE FROM DIRECTORS GEIGER AND DENZLER.
>> DIRECTOR LEN DENZLER AND I AD I WOULD TAKE THIS SINCE SHE HAD MENTAL LEG. ILL WE NOT REPEAT WHAT THE CFO SAID ABOUT THE BUDGET. SHE KNOWS AS MUCH ABOUT ANYBODY ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AND NOBODY KNOWS NOTHING. WHAT I DID KNOW IS THAT THURSDAY THERE WILL BE A PRESIDENT
CONFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED REFERRED QUESTION TO THEY CALL IT RAISE THE CAP. WHICH WOULD REDUCE SOME OF THE TABOR LIMITS ON EDUCATION FUNDING. THAT HAS A LOT OF SUPPORTERS AND A LOT OF OPPONENTS.
CASB HAS NOT TAKEN A POSITION ON THAT. BECAUSE THEY DON'T TAKE POSITIONS ON BILLS BEFORE THEY ARE INTRODUCED. I WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS IN THAT FOR YOU BY OUR NEXT MEETING. I SEN SENT YOU AN EMAIL ABOUT
SOME OF THE CASB SUPPORT. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE WHICH WOULD BE ONE WHICH MODIFIED TEACHER EVALUATION PROGRAMS TO EVALUATE TPHO*PT NONPROBATIONARY EACHERS THREE YEARS.
THAT'S LESS IMPORTANT FOR US CONSIDERING HOW WE DO OUR EVALUATIONS BUT THAT'S A BIG DEAL FOR SOME RURAL DISTRICTS. OUR KINDERGARTEN READINESS IS BEING HEARD BY THE SPEAKER SHE WENT LET IT GO TO THE SECOND READING THAT MUCH APPEARS TO BE
COMING FROM THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION. I HAPPEN TO MEET WITH REPRESENTATIVE HAMRLIK AND HER AID THIS WOO -- AIDE THIS WEEK TO SAY THEIR FRUSTRATION IS SUBSTANTIAL WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE APPEASE TO BE REBLOCKING ANY REDUCTION ANY VAEVALUATIONS, ANY ASSESSMENTS. NOT SURE WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM BUT THEY WILL GENERALLY CONTINUE TO WORK TO IT. THERE IS A BIG BILL THAT WOULD
TRY TO EXPANDS CIVIL RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT IN THE STATE. TO TAKE OVER WHAT IS PERCEIVED TO BE A DECREASE AND SUCH ENFORCE BITE THE DEAD PROGRAM GOVERNMENT. THAT'S A VERY COMPLICATED BILL BUT IT ALSO HAS A LARGE FISCAL
NOTE WHICH MEANS IT'S UNLIKELY TO PASS IN THIS FINANCIAL ERA. THINK MARSHALL BILL REQUIRING SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS TO BE HELD BY DISTRICT WAS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED IN COMMITTEE. IT WILL NOT BE BACK BUT HIS BILL
TO REQUIRE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO TO BE ELECTED BY DISTRICT AND HAVE A MINIMUM OF FIVE, PASSED OUT COMMITTEE. THAT'S WHERE HE TAPS.
I WITH ILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE AFTER I MEET WITH CASB EVERY WEEK. PROBABLY WILL DO IT AS A PDF. DIRECTOR MEEK AND I SKILL DISCUSSION THE BEST WAY TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE. THINGS WILL START TO MOVE QUICKLY HERE AND SO MS. RAUCH,
MS. LOOSER AND I WILL BE PROVIDING REPORTS BASED ON OUR VARIOUS LEVELS OF EX-IDENTITY ON THAT. INTERESTING STUFF LIKE CONCUSSION TRAIN AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. WHICH IS NOT GONE ANYWHERE YET BUT WHICH MAY EVENTUALLY AFFECT US. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. IF ENOUGH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
ANY PARTICULAR BUSY WILL PRETEND TO SNOWING KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM. >> ANY QUESTIONS? WE THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK ON THAT. WE KNOW IT ONLY GETS CRAZIER AND CRAZIER AT THIS POINT OF THE YEAR AS WELL. SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO WE DID ITEM 10.5 EARLIER ON THE AGENDA, WHICH WAS THE SECOND QUARTER BOARD BUDGET REVIEW. SO NOW WE WILL JUST MOVE INTO ITEM 10.6. THE MONITORING REPORTS. AND YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE BEGIN
THIS, I JUST REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO ALL OF THE MONITORING REPORTS. AND YOU KNOW, THE -- WE MENTIONED IT JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL
WORK SESSION WHERE THE BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME ACTUALLY GAVE COLLECTIVE DIRECTION ON MONITORING REPORTS. HISTORICALLY, IT'S BEEN SEVEN DIFFERENT BOARD DIRECTORS GIVING THEIR INDIVIDUAL IDEAS. AND WE ARE WERE ABLE TO LAND ON
HERE ARE THESE AREAS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD. AND HERE IS A PROCESS. THAT WE WANT TO WORK ON. AS A BOARD. AND SO THE INCLUSION OF THE VERY CLEARLY DEFINED INTERPRETATIONS
IN THIS NEXT ROUND THE MEASURABLE INDICATORS OF COMPLIANCE, THE RATIONALES ALL OF THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE IN THE UPDATED MONITORING REPORTS. AND BASICALLY WE HELD A MEETING, GAVE THAT KIND OF GUIDANCE AND
WITHIN 10 DAYS, THOSE REPORTS WERE POSTED. WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING. AND JUST WANT TO THANK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE STAFF FOR ALL OF THAT WORK. I'LL OPEN IT UP IF ANY OTHER DIRECTORS WANT TO SAY ANYTHING MORE ON THAT BEFORE WE DIVE IN.
I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS TO TALK UP HERE, OKAY. IT'S A GREAT JOB. SO, AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THE UPDATES AND WE'LL JUST GO IN ORDER LIKE EL2 IS FIRST. AND EL2 IS THE TREATMENT OF
STUDENTS MONITORING REPORT. AND SLIDES WERE NOT NEEDED. BUT, AGAIN, SUPERINTENDENT KANE WANTS TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND. AND SO THANK YOU FOR CREATING THOSE SLIDES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO WALK THROUGH THE SLIDE OR IF WE JUST WANT TO REFERENCE THEM AS
WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT? >> I DON'T NEED TO WALK THROUGH THEM. I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY I DID THEM. AS WE -- AS WE LOOK FORWARD INTO A REGULAR SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR, IT IS OUR HOPE TO PAIR EVERY SINGLE EL MONITORING REPORT WITH A
REPORT OUT FROM STAFF. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, ENDS ONE WILL BE PAIRED WITH MR. REYNOLDS'S RING PRESENTATION ON THE DISTRICT PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK. SO WE ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE A REPORT OUT TO THE BOARD THAT STAFF DOES THE WORK GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT AND HAVE THAT
CONNECTED TO AN EVEN L IS KIND OF THE VISION MOVING FORWARD. EL2, IS A LITTLE BIT OF A HOLE, ALTHOUGH NOT REALLY. BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A HOLE IN WHAT WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY PRESENTED AS A TRADITIONAL BOARD PRESENTATION. SO WE ACTUALLY ADDRESSED EVEN L2
IN GREAT PART IN YOUR BOARD EDUCATION SECTION. OUR VISION FOR EL2 NEXT YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, WOULD BE TO PAIR IT WITH EM L7, WHICH IS SAFETY AND SECURITY. AND HAVE EL2 AND EL7 GO HAND IN HAND WITH THE SAFETY SECURITY
AND MENTAL HEALTH UPDATE FROM STAFF. SO THAT IS WHY I MADE SHRAOEUFRPLDZ IT'S ONLY FOR THE PUBLIC'S -- MIGHT BE EASIER FOR THE PUBLIC THAYNE 40-PAGE MONITORING REPORT. AND I PARTIED THE SLIDE FROM
MATT REYNOLDS' DIFFERENT FRAMEWORK PRESENTATION IN JANUARY BECAUSE THAT BE THE PRESENTATION THAT GOES WITH END ONE. SO WITH THAT I WILL SIT BACK DOWN AND I WANTED TO LET YOU
KNOW WHY I DID THAT IT THAT WE. >> THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND SO AS WE TALK THROUGH THE BOARD'S COLLECTIVE GUIDANCE AND WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE IN THOSE MONITORING REPORTS, WE ALSO TALK THROUGH A PROCESS. THAT WE WOULD USE AS A BOARD WHERE WE WOULD SUBMIT QUESTIONS.
THE SUCH WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO AROUND THE ITCH TORE TAKE OR THE EVIDENCE. THE SIOUX RESPONDS TO THE
QUESTIONS AND SEND IS THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE FULL BOARD AND SO THEN WE ARE PREPARED AS WE WALK THROUGH THESE REVIEWS AND THE IDEA IS IT TAKE A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD TO RAISE A CONCERN.
IN ORDER FOR US TO THEN DIVE INTO THE DIALOGUE AROUND THAT. SO BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER. DOES THAT ALL RING A BELL? ARE WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE? I SEE HEAD NODS. ALL RIGHT, FOR STARTING WITH E
EL2. IT'S EASIER TO GO IN ORDER IF YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF EL2 AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WERE A LOT QUESTIONS SUBMITTED ON EVEN L2 AND MAYBE BEFORE I GO THROUGH
IITEM BY ITEM DO BOARD DIRECTORS PLAN TO HAVE A CONCERN ON ANY OF THE ITEMS? >> YES. >> THEN WE'LL WALK THROUGH ITEM BY ITEM.
EL2 THE GLOBAL STATEMENT AND ITEM NUMBER 1, DOES ANY BOARD DIRECTOR HAVE A CONCERN ON THE REASONABLENESS OF ITEM ONE? NOPE.
I SEE ONE HAND. NOT A MAJORITY. SO ON THE REASONABLENESS, WE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE EFFORT. AND SEE IF ANYONE HAS CONCERNED
ON THE EVIDENCE RELATED TO ITEM NUMBER 1. I SEE NONE. THEN WE'LL KEEP MOVING TO ITEM 1.1. CAN IS PERMIT STUDENTS TO BE
WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM BULLYING AND HARASS. BUT ANY BOARD DIRECTOR HAVE A QUESTION AROUND THE REASONABLENESS OF THE I WANT TURN TAKE. FOR 1.1. SO I SEE TWO HANDS.
WHICH IS NOT A MAJORITY. SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN TO THE EVIDENCE PORTION OF 1.1. DOES ANY BOARD DIRECTOR HAVE CONCERNS ON THE EVIDENCE EITHER MISSING, BEING MISSING, UNCLEAR OR INSUFFICIENT?
FOR 1.1. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO HANDS. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO 1.2.
1.2 IS STARTING ON. >> ANY CONCERNS ON THE REASONABLENESS OF THE INTERPRETATION.
FOR 1.2? ONE HAND. ALL RIGHT. ANY CONCERNS ON THE EVIDENCE RELATED TO 1.2?
NO CONCERNS ON THAT. THAT TAKES US TO 1.3. ANY CONCERNS ON THE REASONABLENESS OF THE INTERPRETATION FOR ONE POINT THEME I SEE ONE HAND.
TWO. TWO HANDS. NOT MAJORITY.
SO I GO TO EVIDENCE OF 1.3. OKAY. NOW WE ARE ON ITEM TWO. ROOKING AT ITEM TWO. ARE THERE THERE CONCERNS ON REASONABLENESS OF THE
INTERPRETATION. GREAT CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE. EVIDENCE ON .2. I WILL TAKE US TO IDEA THREE.
CONCERNS ON CONCERNS ON THE REASONABLE INTERPRETATION? SEEING NONE, CONCERNS ON THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED UNDER ITEM 3. NONE.
MOVING US TO ITEM FOUR. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR I THINK THAT WAS 2.1. NOW WE ARE ON THREE. >> DID I SKIP 2.1. SORRY. I WILL GO BACK TO CLAIRE FAY. ANY CONCERNS ON ITEM 2.1. OKAY.
SEEING NONE, THEN ITEM THREE. NO CONCERNS ON THE REASONABLE INTERPRETATION FOR ITEM THREE. WHAT ABOUT THE EVIDENCE FOR ITEM THREE.
OKAY, THAT TAKES US TO ITEM 4 ANY CONCERNS ON THE REASONABLE INTERPRETATION? I SEE ONE HAND. ALL RIGHT. CONCERNS -- IS THAT TWO HANDS. OKAY.
CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE? WE ARE ON ITEM 4. OKAY. ITEM 5. CONCERNS ON REASONABLE
INTERPRETATION. I SEE ONE HAND. CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE.
LET'S GO TO ITEM 5.1. ANY CONCERNS ON REASONABLE INTERPRETATION? CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE FOR 5.1.
OKAY. ITEM 6. REASONABLE INTERPRETATION CONCERNS. TWO HANDS. THREE HANDS. SIX OF US.
FOUR TO BE AN AUTHORITY. THREE HANDS. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE? FOR THIS INTERPRETATION, WHICH
IS ITEM 6. ALL RIGHT, I THINK WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 7. CONCERNS ON REASONABLE INTERPRETATION. I SEE ONE HAND.
CONCERNS ON EVIDENCE? ALL RIGHT. OUR NEW RULE. IT APPEARS THE MAJORITY FEELS LIKE THERE IS A REASONABLE
INTERPRETATION AND EVIDENCE. SO IS THERE A MOTION FOR EL2 MONITORING WHERE THE BOARD HAS REASONABLY INTERPRETED THE BOARD'S VALUES AND DEMONSTRATES
COMPLIANCE? >> THE DIRECT HAS REASON BY? >> YEP. >> IS THERE A MOTION? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR CALLAHAN, SECONDED BY DIRECTOR
DENZLER THAT THE BOARD HAS ASSESSED THE INTERPRETATION FOR EL2 AND DEMONSTRATES COMPLIANCE. ALL RIGHT, WE GOT THROUGH ONE. WITH A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL POINTS, BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY IS
OBVIOUSLY THERE WERE CONCERNS. JUST NOT IN THE MAJORITY. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO SEND CONCERNS IN WRITING. JUST BECAUSE I THINK SUPERINTENDENT KANE ASKED FOR FEEDBACK ON DIFFERENT MONITORING
REPORTS. SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO DOCUMENT WHAT CONCERNS ARE. JUST SO THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS THAT FEEDBACK. I KNOW IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS I SUBMITTED, MANY OF THE RESPONSES WERE THIS WILL MAKE IT INTO THE NEXT YEAR'S REPORT.
AND SO THAT MIGHT JUST BE A HELPFUL PRACTICE. ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS EL2. I THINK NEXT WE HAVE EL5. >> WE DON'T VOTE. >> I DIDN'T CALL ROLL, DID I. SORRY, ET CETERA GETTING LATE.
ALL RIGHT. A NOTION BY DIRECTOR CALLAHAN, SECOND BY DIRECTOR DENZLER ON THIS MONITORING REPORT BEING COOL CLIENT AND I WILL CALL RECORD, DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER.
>> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK, AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR RYAN. >> NO. >> OKAY. SO MOTION PASSES 6-0.
>> FIVE. >> 5-1. >> 5-1. ALL RIGHT. I TOLD YOU I AM GETTING TIRED. ALL RIGHT. 5-1. TULL. GOOD YOU GUYS ARE HERE TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S LOOK AT EL5. IF YOU REMEMBER EL5 WAS JUST 1.6
WAS COMING BACK TO THE BOARD. FOR REVIEW. IF YOU REMEMBER ON OUR WORK SESSION WE SAID ONLY THE NEWLY-DRAFTED EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING
REPORTS ON THE ENDS WOULD BE IN THE NEW FORMAT. ARE SO THIS IS REALLY THE OLD FARM AT AND THAT WAS OUR AGREEMENT AT THAT WORK SESSION. JUST IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING. SSO WITH THAT WE HAVE ONE ITEM. 1.6.
AND SO I WILL OPEN IT UP TO SAY RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERN REGARDING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE INTERPRETATION. FOR 1.6.
SEEING NONE, I WILL ASK ANY CONCERNS ON THE EVIDENCE BEING SUFFICIENT? 1.6. SEEING NONE, THEN I WILL
ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS REPORT. >> SO MOVED. >> SO MOVED. >> WHAT'S THE MOTION? >> NEWLY REVISED 5.6 IS IN COMEN
COMPLIANCE. EL51.6 IS IN COMPLIANCE. >> AND I MISSED WHO SAID THE FIRST AND THE SECOND. SO DIRECTOR GEIGER AND THEN DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. SECONDED. ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IS A MOTION ANY
DISCUSSION ON ONE -- EL51.6. SEEING NONE, I WILL CALL ROLL. DIRECTOR CALLAHAN? >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DEFENSE REAR. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK, AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR RYAN.
>> AYE. >> DIRECTOR -- NEVER MIND. 6-0 DID I GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT. IT PASSED 6-0. MOVING ONTO EL8.
THIS ONE AGAIN HAS TWO COMPONENTS THAT WERE COMING BACK TO US. IT WAS 8.3. AND 8.5. THAT THE BOARD HAD ASKED TO HAVE IT COME BACK. SO WE'LL START WITH 8.3.
AND WITH THIS ONE, I WILL START LIKE THE OTHERS. PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN REGARDING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE INTERPRETATION.
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON THE EVIDENCE BEING SUFFICIENT. I SEE ONE. ALL RIGHT.
SO I AM GOING TO MOVE US TO 8.5. SO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN AROUND THE REASONABLENESS OF THE INTERPRETATION FOR 8.5.
SEEING NONE, I WILL ASK IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS ON THE EVIDENCE FOR 8.5 THINK WITH THAT
I WILL OPEN UP IT UP TO ANOTHER MOTION FOR THE BOARD ASSESSING THIS MONITORING RESPECT. >> I MOVE THAT IT THE BOARD ADOPT THESE REVISED, I GUESS
REVISED 8.3 AND 8.5, IS IT? >> FIND IT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. >> SECOND. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED DIE DIRECTOR DENZLER AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR CALLAHAN THAT THE BOARD HAS ASSESSED EVEN L8 ITEMS PIT ATE
.3 AND 8.5 AND FINDS IT TO BE COMPLIANT, ANY DISCUSSION? DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DENZLER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK, AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> IRE. >> DIRECTOR RYAN. >> AYE.
>> ALL RIGHT. IT PASSES 6-0. ALL RIGHT. EXECUTIVE LIMITATION 11. ASSET PROTECTION. SO THIS IS A NEW ONE. THIS MONTH. TO THE BOARD.

INTERPRETATION OR EVIDENCE. JUST CHECKING. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 9. ANY CONCERNS ON THE
INTERPRETATION OR EVIDENCE. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 10 CONCERNS.
ITEM 11 CONCERNS. THAT IS THE END OF EL11. SO WITH THAT, I AM HAPPY TO TAKE A MOTION ON THE BOARD'S ASSESSMENT OF EL11.
>> I MOVE THAT WE FIND THE MONITORING REPORT ON EXECUTIVE LIMITATION 11 MEETS CRITERIA. >> SECOND. >> SECOND. >> I THINK DIRECTOR DEFENSE DENZLER BEAT YOU. SO DIRECTOR GEIGER MOVED, AND DIRECTOR DENZLER SECONDED.
THE MOTION THAT THE BOARD HAS ASSESSED EL11 AND HAS FOUND IT TO BE COMPLIANT ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. LET'S A ROLL CALL. DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR DEN LESSER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AYE.
>> DIRECTOR MEEK, AYE. DIRECTOR PARKER. >> AYE. >> DIRECTOR RYAN. >> AYE. ALL RIGHT, THAT PASSES 6-0. AND THEN THIS GETS US TO THE
LAST -- THIS IS THE LAST ONE, RIGHTS? LAST BIG ONE. AGAIN, THERE ARE SLIDES THAT WERE PREPARED FOR THIS MONITORING REPORT AS WELL. AND IT'S ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND LIFE SKILLS.
AND THIS IS THE ENDS ARE RELATIVELY NEW COMPARED DO THE EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS AND SO I ACTUALLY HAD TALKED TO SUPERINTENDENT KANE ABOUT LOOKING AT ENDS I WERE TURN
TAKES MAYBE FOR THE EL -- FOR ENDS 2. A LOT OF TIMES BOARDS WHEN THEY FIRST ARE LOOKING AT A NEW MONITORING REPORT, THEY COME TO AGREEMENT ON THE REASONABLE INTERPRETATION BEFORE ASKING FOR THE EVIDENCE PORTION. AND SO THE BOARD IS REALLY THE
FIRST TIME AROUND JUST ROOKING AT ARE THESE REASONABLE INTERPRETATIONS FOR THE POLICY. AND THE REASON I KIND OF BROUGHT IT UP WAS SOME OF THESE TERMS ARE NEW. THEY WERE THINGS THAT'S DISTRICT HASN'T TRACKED IN THE PASS AND I
PROMISED THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT I WOULD BRING THAT IDEA FORWARD TO THE BOARD AS WELL TO SEE IF THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE FELT LAKE IT WOULD BE MORE MEANINGFUL TO RESPOND TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT. WITH WHAT THOSE INDICATORS SHOULD BE. FOR THE POLL SILL LANGUAGE
BEFORE ASKING ALL OF THE EVIDENCE TO BE COLLECTED. SO I SEE SOME HEAD NOT. >> I THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. AND TAKES A LOT OF THE LOAD OFF IF YOU HAVE TO COME BACK WITH BRAND-NEW THINGS THAT -- BRAND-NEW DATA THAT MAKES
COMPLETE COMPLETE SENT. >> IT'S KIND OF A STANDARD PRACTICE ESPECIALLY ENDS, EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE, IT'S AROUND CONSTRAINTS. REALLY DEFINING DIGITAL LITERACY AND WORKFORCE SKILLS AND THOSE
KIND OF THINGS. SO SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT CONSIDERATION JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE CLARIFICATION. SO YOU WANT US TO COME BACK WITH THE INTERPRETATION, CORRECT? >> YEAH, I WAS JUST RAISE THAT GO TO SEE IF THAT IS
SOMETHING -- SO YOU ALL HAVE ROOKED AT THIS ENDS REPORT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE FEELING CONFIDENT THAT THE INTERPRETATIONS AND THE EVIDENCE ARE WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE AND, IF IT'S NOT, MAYBE IT'S STARTING
WITH -- THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. >> MS2. >> UH-HUH. >> YEAH, I DIDN'T -- I THINK WE COULD GO THROUGH WITH WHAT WE HAVE HERE PROBABLY AND THEN ENDS 2 IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO JUST DO UP DEPUTATIONS TO START AND
EVIDENCE SECOND. >> THAT'S A GOOD APPROACH FOR ENDS TWO WHICH IS COMING UP NEXT. IT'S NOT THIS ONE IN FRONT OF US. OKAY, SO INTERPRETATION ONLY FOR ENDS 2. >> THE REASONABLE EN TURN TAKE,
WHICH YOU WOULD INTERPRET THE WORD, YOU GO IN TO INDICATORS OF COMPLIANCE LIKE THIS IS HOW WE ARE TRACKING IT, RIGHT? SO INSTEAD OF COMING BACK WITH ALL OF THE EVIDENCE, WE ARE COMING TO AGREEMENT THAT, YES, THIS IS HOW YOU WOULD BE
TRACKING THAT POLICY LANGUAGE. >> THANK YOU. >> I SAW A COUPLE OF NODS BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. DIRECTOR GEIGER IS THAT A NO? >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
>> OKAY. OKAY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING CLEAR GUIDANCE. ENDING 2 IS THE ONE THAT I THINK HAS A LOT OF NUANCE AS TO HOW YOU WOULD TRACK SOME OF THE POLICY LANGUAGE. SO -- ALL RIGHT. BACK TO OUR REGULARLY-SCHEDULED PROGRAM.

DEBRIEF AT THE NEXT MEETING ON THE PROCESS, NEXT MEETING. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. THAT SOUNDS GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL. WE GOT THROUGH THAT FAIRLY
QUICKLY, CONSIDERING THE LOAD. SO THANK YOU, THANKS AGAIN. SO THAT WELL REALLY TAKES TO US OUR LAST ITEM. BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORTS. SO THAT'S ITEM 11 ON OUR AGENDA.
AND BASICALLY WE HAVE OUR AGENDA PLANNING SESSION FOR THURSDAY MORNING AT 10:30. IT'S SUPPO POSTED PUBLICALLY WHE COMMUNITY CAN SEE AND LISTEN IN IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO.
SO THAT'S 10:30 ON THURSDAY MORNING. AND -- OH, I KIND OF SKIPPED THE BOARD REFLECTION TO BULLYING PREVENTION. SO THAT'S ITEM 11.1. SO BOARD REFLECTION ON BULLYING PREVENTION BOARD LEARNING SESSION. SO AT THIS LEARNING SESSION LAST
WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT IT BRIEFLY. EARLIER. THE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL LEADER MET WITH THE BOARD AND PROVIDED INFORMATION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BULLYING PREVENTION AND THE PROGRAMS AND WORK UNDERWAY IN THE DISTRICT.
SCHOOL LEADERS. OR LEADERS FROM SCHOOL LEADERSHIP. AND LEGAL HEALTH WELLNESS AND PREVENTION EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, TIDAL NINE. ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IT WAS A RATHER LARGE GROUP. WALKED US THROUGH POLICY
FOUNDATIONS, BE THEY WALKED THROUGH REPORTING SYSTEMS, TRAINING AND EXPECTATIONS. PREVENTION AND EDUCATION. INNING INVESTIGATION AND SUPPORT. AND TALKED ABOUT DATA AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS. SO IT WAS A WONDERFUL SESSION. A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY WENT
INTO THAT TO HELP PROVIDE THE BOARD A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ON ALL OF THESE AREAS. AND I PERSONALLY FOUND IT TO BE VERY INFORMATIVE. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO OPEN IT UP TO OTHER DIRECTORS FOR THEIR REFLECTIONS.
DO YOU WANT ME TO START ON THIS END OR -- DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> IT'S KIND OF BEEN THE TWO WEEKS TO TALK ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS AND THAT
IS INHERENTLY TIED TO BULLYING. FIRST OF ALL, ALL COMPLIMENTS TO THE STAFF. THE BULLYING PREVENTION BOARD LEARNING SESSION, WAS TRULY IN-DEPTH. WELL PREPARED. I AM INSTRUCTION BY HOW MANY
PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE WHO ARE ON THE BULLY BE PREVENTION BOARD WHO WERE WILLING TO PRESENT AND TALK. IT REPRESENT AULD I GREAT DYNAMIC AND CROSS SESSION OF OUD
EXTENSIVE DIRECTORS AND EVERYBODY UP TO THE TOP. I WOULD STRUCK BY CABINET MEMBERS THAT MIGHT NOT BE INVOLVED IN THE BULLYING ISSUE ATTENDED AND THAT SHOWED THE IMPORTANCE TO THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME IS ONE REMAKING A
GREAT DEAL OF PROGRESS AND, TWO IT, EVERYBODY SAID THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO BE DONE ON THE SUBJECT. I TRUST AND HOPE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THIS AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECTS THAT WE DEAL WITH. TO HAVE THAT, TO HAVE THE MENTAL HEALTH CONVERSATION TALKING
ABOUT THE CRISIS REVIEW TEAMS AND THE DANGERS AHEAD LESSENS ARE DEALING WITH AND THE MONITORING REPORT ON EL2 ALL DISCUSS BIG WHAT WE DO TO KEEP OUR PEEP, IS KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE AND ALL HAD IT IS ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS.
THERE ARE ALWAYS INSIDE OF OUR SCHOOLS CONTINUING DANGERS, CONTINUING ISSUES. AND BEST TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THEM IN A MULTI FACETTED WAY AND THEN WE ARE FACING HEADWINDS. THE ONLINE DISCOURSE IS AT TIMES
DESPICABLE. THERE IS -- WE HEAR TONIGHT IN PUBLIC COMMENT FROM SOMEONE WHO IS DELIBERATELY SAID I AM BULLYING SOME OF OUR STUDENTS, WE ARE FACING THAT IN PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. ONE OF OUR STUDENTS WAS DELIBERATELY BULLIED BY ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I AM NOT GOING TO MINIMIZE THAT OR ANYTHING ELSE, IT'S BULLYING. IT'S HARASSMENT. IT'S PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING POLITICAL FODDER OF ATTACKING OUR CHILDREN. AND I DON'T CARE IF THAT PERSON HAS TICK ARE TECHNICALLY REACHED THE AGE OF 18 OR NOT THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN AND WE ARE FACING THAT AND FACING THAT ALL THE
TIME. ON TWITTER AND SNAP CHAT. AND INSTAGRAM ALL CORRECT TO THAT. AND IF GOES BACK TO OUR CELLPHONE FOLLOW IS A. REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT IN BOTH OF THOSE SUBJECTS. THIS HAS TO BE ONE WE TEACH OUR
KIDS, TWO WE KEEP THEM SAFE. THOSE ARE ONE AND TWO PROBLEMS. EVERYTHING ELSE HAVES LAB SUBER IS HAVE YOU HE WANT TO THOSE TWO ISSUES. AND WE CAN'T TEACH OUR KIDS IF THEY ARE SCARED. WE CANNOT PROTECT DOUR KIDS FROM
EVERYBODY OUT TO GET THEM EITHER WITHIN THE SCHOOLS, OUTSIDE THE SCHOOLS, ADULT OR CHILDREN. BUT I DO BELIEVE BASED ON EVERYTHING I HEARD THE LAST TWO WEEKS IN THOSE THREE ITEMS, THAT WE ARE MAKING THE PROGRESS THAT I FIND TO BE NECESSARY. I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR
DOING THAT, I REALLY WISH WE COULD HAVE LIFE LI STREAMED THAT PARTICULAR WORK SESSION. I REALLY WISH THAT WAS AVAILABLE ON OUR YouTube TO SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT WE ARE DOING. BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD HELP WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. I ACTUALLY WENT ON MY Facebook
PAGE AND ASKED WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE BULLYING? I GOT A COUPLE OF GOOD FEEDBACKS I'LL SHARE THOSE. BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE SAID WAS THANK YOU FOR DEALING WITH IT. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A
PRIORITY I KNOW THE DISTRICT IS AND THE BOARD WILL CONTINUE TO BE. THANK YOU. I THINK WE WILL NEVER BE PERFECT AT THIS BUT WE ARE DOING BETTER THAN WE HAD IN THE PAST. AND I THINK WE WILL DO BETTER NEXT YEAR THAN WE ARE DOING NOW.
>> OTHER DIRECTORS, ANY THOUGHTS? GO AHEAD. >> I DIDN'T GO BUT I LOOKED AT THE SLIDES AND I WANTED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK IT LOOKED LIKE A GREAT PRESENTATION AND THE DATA AND HOW THE KIDS SURVEY AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO
DATA. DIRECTLY SHOWS WHAT WE CAN DO AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR OUR BULLYING POLICY. I DIDN'T GO TO IT. I WISH IT WAS RECORDED AS WELL. IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORKDAY. BUT I READ THE SLIDES AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATED ALL THE
INFORMATION AND DATA THE SLIDES HAD. >> IT WAS PHENOMENAL. AND I DO THINK THAT'S A THEME DIRECTOR GEIGER WITH BULL BULLYING AND HARASSMENT AND OUR TREATMENT OF STUDENTS AND THE REPORT THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH
TONIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK JUST TO KIND OF EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT THE BOARD HAS ASKED FOR IN THOSE MONITORING REPORTS IS TRENDING SO WE ARE ABLE TO SEE HOW THE DISTRICT IS PROGRESSING.
OR ALSO LOOKING FOR COMPARISON DATA. RIGHT? LOOKING TO SEE HUGH IT LOOKS ACROSS DISTRICTS. IF THERE IS DATA AROUND BEING ABLE TO COMPARE SO LIKE THE HEALTHY KIDS COM SURVEY. WOULD PROVIDE DATA TO HELP US LOOK BEYOND THE DISTRICT AS
WELL. SO HAVING THAT KIND OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO US IS BECAUSE I THINK HELPS US MONITOR THE SYSTEM. AGAIN I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK FOR PULLING TOGETHER THE REPORT, THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO THE
PUBLIC, AND IT REALLY IS MEANT TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS LOOKED AT YEAR AFTER YEAR SO WE CAN SEE AN -- AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE GETTING BETTER, RIGHT. >> AND PROGRAMS ARE WORKING AND BEING EFFECTIVE. SO ANY OTHER -- ANY OTHER LAST THOUGHTS ON THE BULLYING
PREVENTION? DIRECTOR CALLAHAN. >> YEAH, I WILL ECHO WHAT HAS BEEN SAID. I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THE RECITATION. I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY THOROUGH. I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMIND OURSELVES THAT FOR SOMETHING TO QUALIFY AS BULL EYEING IT'S A PRETTY HIGH BAR. RIGHT? THERE ARE SEVERAL QUALIFIERS THAT HAVE TO BE MET ALL OF WHICH HAVE TO BE MET FOR AN INCIDENT
TO FALL UNDER THAT CLASSIFICATION. AND I THINK THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO LOOK AT BEHAVIOR THAT I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE IS UNACCEPTABLE,
BUT MIGHT NOT BE CLASSIFIED OR REACH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THRESHOLDS OF BULLYING WHERE SOME ADDITIONAL BOARD POLICY COULD BE CRAFTED.
>> THANK YOU, DIRECT CALLAHAN. IT MAKES ME THINK OF, YOU KNOW, THE TREATMENT OF STUDENTS, IT DOES TALK ABOUT HAVING A RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT. AND I THINK THAT'S ALMOST WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AT IN A WAY, RIGHT? WHERE IT MAY NOT BE RISE TO THIS LEVEL OF BULLYING, OR
HARASSMENT, BUT IT MIGHT BE INTERFERING WITH A RESPECTFUL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. I APPRECIATE YOU ARE RAISING THAT. ANY REFLECTIONS BEFORE YOU GO INTO BOARD REPORTS WHICH I TRIED
TO JUMP IN TO IT TOO EARLY. SO I WILL JUMP INTO 11.2. THE PRESIDENT'S RESPECT. WE HAVE AGENDA PLANNING TAKING PLACE THIS THURSDAY MORNING AT 10:30. AS ALWAYS, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL
WITH ANY INPUT THAT YOU HAVE. I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE CASTLE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL ROCK CAN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL GAME RECENTLY AND WAS JUST OVERWHELMED AT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY THAT.
SAYING THE LEVEL OF SCHOOL SPIRIT AND CAMARADERIE. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE THAT LED ME TO THINK ABOUT JUST ENCOURAGING ALL YOU HAVE US TO ATTEND GAMES WHEN WE GO.
AND IF THE COURTESY CARD ARE OUT AND THAT'S KIND OF A STANDARD THAT A LOT DISTRICTS DO FOR BOARD AND SO. IT ACTUALLY GETS YOU ATTENDANCE TO GO IN TO VARIOUS ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS AND I ENCOURAGE US TO GET OUT THERE
AND KIND OF REMINDS OF WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. IT WAS A GREAT GAME AND EVENT. I WAS ALL TO ATTEND THE GROUNDBREAKING FOR THE DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL COSMETOLOGY PROGRAM. SO THAT WAS REALLY NICE TO
ATTEND. FORMER DIRECTOR BECKY MYERS WAS ABLE TO ATTEND AS WELL. SO SHE WAS ABLE TO SIGH THAT. IT'S YOU BEEN FLIES TO SEE SOME OF THE FORMER BOARD DIRECTORS ATTEND THE GR GROUNDBREAKINGS TT WORKED HARD TO PROMOTE AND GET A CROSS THE FINISH LINE.
THAT WAS ANOTHER GREAT EVENT. AND THEN DIRECTOR HAL CALIFORNIA HAPPEN AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE POLLING COMPANY AND WE BELIEVE THAT POLLING INFORMATION WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD. WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.
SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> WE'LL OFFICIALLY PRESENT IT TO THE BOARD AT YOUR APRIL MEETING AND WE'LL SEND THE RESULTS TO THE BOARD AFTER SPRING BREAK. >> THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO VICE PRESIDENT CALLAHAN.
>> THANK YOU. I, TOO, WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE CASTLE VIEW, CASTLE ROCK BASKETBALL GAME. AND I THINK IT WAS JUST REMEMBERING BACK TO SPORTS AND HIGH SCHOOL AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT WAS FOR ME.
BEING ABLE TO BE THERE FOR A SENIOR NIGHT. I FELT LIKE WAS PARTICULARLY IMPACTFUL AND JUST A REALLY GREAT SHOW OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THAT NIGHT.
I WAS ABLE TO DO A SCHOOL VISIT AT STEM. GOT A TOUR FROM THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM AND MR. CARTIER GOT TO SEE THE EYE INVOLVE SYSTEM IN
ACTION. AND HAD SEVERAL NOTES AND TAKE AWAY FROM THAT. THEIR PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODEL AND INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING WERE PARTICULARLY NOTEWORTHY.
SUPERINTENDENT CAIN AND I WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH COMMISSIONER LADEN AND DISCUSS SOME KIND OF SHARED VALUES AND PRIORITIES.
AS WE LOOK TO THIS YEAR, SPECIFICALLY AROUND INCREASING OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE DOGS AND THAT PROGRAM AND HOW POWERFUL THAT IS. IN HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE FORM RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR SROs.
AND THEN WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTNERING AROUND SOME EDUCATION FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. AROUND HOW TO BE AWARE OF AND AVOID SEX TRAFFICKING.
SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE TOPICS THAT WE BRAINSTORMED AROUND. >> THANK YOU. VOLUNTEER TO GO FIRST. ALL RIGHT. DIRECTOR RYAN, LET'S START WITH YOU. >> OKAY.
SO I GOT TO ATTEND THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF CRMS WITH DIRECTORS MEEK AND GEIGER. BUT I HAD THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN A YEAR BACK AND THE FIRST PAGE A END OPENED TO WAS A VERY YOUNG DIRECTOR PARKER AND I MADE SURE TO SEND HER THAT PICTURE.
