name. You will then uh once you begin speaking uh you will have three minutes to share um your comment. I will let you know when you're at about 60 seconds. Um and then I will let you know again when you are at time. We'll let you finish your thought or your sentence. Um but then we'll ask you um to to to wrap up
so that we can continue with our agenda. Just as a reminder, you are welcome to speak on policy issues on items that are on the agenda. Um please keep your comments respectful and we ask for limited interruption as we can. Um and additionally please um refrain from
making any identifiable um remarks about specifically staff on andor family members or students. Um and hopefully you all had a chance to review and read the uh policy BCBI on public participation at board meetings. So
we'll jump right in. And first on my list, I have P Pastor Kelly Lur. [applause] [cheering] [screaming] Um [applause] I I want to say why I'm here. Uh this is
my third time coming. Last time I didn't get to speak, but this started with a video that was released. >> If and I'm sorry if just for the record and just for if you could just state your name for the record and then you can continue on. I apologize for interrupting and then your time will start. >> Pastor Kelly Lori, I've been pastoring
here in Kansas City for 32 years. Um, I'm here because of a video that was posted on social media. Uh, and in that video, uh, the superintendent said that they changed a policy that was against
the law about transparency with parents with socially trans uh, calling kids by different pronouns. And that was dealt with 2 years ago. And in this video, the superintendent saying, "We're switching it to guidelines and we're going to keep it
in-house privately and not even tell all the staff or say it publicly." Also, in that video, another staff member says, "We are looking for any loophole we can with our progressive agenda." I'll be placing that video back on social media for the public to make their own
decision on what was said there. But I want to get to some things worse here, you know. Um, there's lots being said. The last meeting I was not able to speak even though we made it very credible that we posted and signed up on time. We had
stamped emails, yet there was others that got to speak that were past that deadline and I have their stamped emails and somehow it was lost. But yet a school teacher was to come up here and speak and directly say stuff about my
church and my church members being hateful, mean, and derogatory things. She's came up here multiple times. She's protested at my church. And on social media, I have screenshots of them calling me a child molester. school
teachers from this district calling me hatemonger, a cult leader, everything. I'm only here, never once have I said anything against the LGBTQ community or trans community at all. I've been here not once, but every time about parents
knowing what's going on with their children, but I've been branded and marked and our church community for >> 60 seconds >> doing for doing that. Let me get to the other one. my last uh meeting here, there was a first amendment establishment clause that was a
violation in this meeting in June 26. The superintendent said this, and I quote, "And knowing that there are so many believers in the room, one, I really am like, wow, are we really being Christlike? Are we really giving each other the same grace what you claim to
do?" Because how you show up and talk, which we never got to talk, and that's just not okay. I am saying this publicly and I'm absolutely not okay the way you treat. Well, my attorney will be addressing that there because that was a
complete violation of that. >> I'm here for parents rights. I'm here for parents' rights. Just transparency. I'm not here to bully. But the hate and the threats, little threats on our lives on social media, a screenshot,
everything is came from people in this district for me simply asking >> tell the parents what's going on. Our last thing I'm going to say, our children, we're at time >> get they they get birth certificates by their parents. They register their kids
by that name. They should call by the name they register in. >> Thank you. [cheering] >> [applause] [applause] [applause] >> Thank you. Um can we if we can please
minimize disruption in the uh boardroom that would be great so that we can conduct our meeting. Um everyone will be allowed to speak that is signed up. you will have your full three minutes, but again, I'm respectfully asking if we can keep keep interruptions to a minimum. Um, and please, um, respect the time
that you have been given. Um, and when we ask, um, to finish your thought, we'll let you finish your sentence and your thought, but if you can be respectful of everyone else's time, that would be great. Thank you. Next up, I'd invite Pastor Jeremiah Hicks to the podium. [applause and cheering] >> Good afternoon.
My name is Jeremiah Hicks. Thank you guys for letting us speak this time. I appreciate it. Glad we didn't have any mishaps like my email going through the through the spam like you said. Um I'll be honest, I really can't can't trust this this board of people that I see
sitting in front of me. And like I said, my name is Jeremiah. Most of the people in this room would know that I'm a pastor in this community and a leader and also I'm alumni of the illustrious USD 500 school district. I graduated from Washington High School. Um, I appreciate um the fact that I was able
to be educated in this district because I think that my school was uh quote unquote it was awesome for the most part. But I attended Washington High School, like I said, and in the past I have listened to employees, people up here on this at this desk and others around me talk about safety, trust, and
protecting children. I am living proof that those words mean nothing if you do nothing about children that are harmed in this school district. If you do nothing about children that have been affected by employees, been abused by employees in this district. When I came into the school, Washington High School,
I was already broken from a foster care system. And I'm telling you something that happened to me personally. I had already experienced abuse in my life. The adults who were supposed to protect me had an opportunity to help me. Instead, they became a part of more
abuse. Employees of this school district abuse me. Can I ask you a question? What kind of educator looks at a broken child, somebody that they know had been through the foster care system, have been pulled away from his family, have been physically abused, and say they deserve more abuse. There's ones like
that that have been employed employed by this school district. This did not happen once. It happened multiple times. Three USD 500 school employees subjected me to school abuse modeled after divine non-raternity intimidation and hazing tactics. a band director, a school
teacher, and a school resource resource officer. There was a band director at the high school I attended who started a secret meeting with a group of about eight students. I was taken into a dark band room. The lights were turned off. I was blindfolded. And the things that I that happened next happened on multiple
occasions and I and are believed to be and I believe it is modeled after the fraternity that they were a part of when they went to college to get their education to teach students. I have pictures. I have I would request that this board would vote to extend my period of time for speaking because this is important and you need to know that
these type of things have happened and can happen to more students in this school district. I have photos to give you of a visual picture of the tool used to abuse me in a band room in Washington High School. I was force-fed butter. I was struck on
the head. I was told to bend over and point a specific direction and and and hit with a paddle on my behind for the grat for the satisfaction of school teachers in this district. I was repeatedly paddled. The abuse mirrored fraternity style hazing rituals during
the t during the day. If the teacher didn't like something that happened with the student that was a part of this group, they would then punish them in the dark in the band room later. I was left bruised. Other students struggled to walk after they were beat multiple times with a paddle. Think about that.
Public school employees abuse children in this district. >> Pastor Hicks, we >> the part that alarms me the most is you're cutting me off right now instead of hearing this. The community should hear this type of thing. >> Pastor Hicks, >> one other and older students participated in this. You just hired a
student, a former student at the high school that that that was under the same direction and it was a part of the abuse. >> Pastor Hicks, we're at time. >> I am not standing here because I want sympathy from any of you. >> Pastor, I'm standing here because I have children of my own and I don't want them
to go to through the same abuse I went through. >> Pastor Hicks, we are at time. I apologize. >> If you are against that you open your mouth and say something. We will have someone follow up with you regarding the allegations. >> Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and yell at somebody that's being abused. [cheering]
>> I I have pictures I want to give to you guys and I would hope that you can give it to everybody that's on the board and even the board attorney. >> Please pass that to Chief. We'll make sure that someone follows up with you as well on those allegations. Thank you. >> Let me know if you don't have enough. Next, [cheering]
[applause] again, I would just ask respectfully if we can please limit interruptions so we can continue with the meeting and respect those that are coming up to speak. Um, thank you so much. Next, I would invite Pastor Dennis Upton to the podium.
[cheering] >> [applause] >> Can we please [applause] >> Can we please Can we please have some respect and order? Can we please have some respect and order in the boardroom? Thank you.
If we could please have some respect and order in decorum in the boardroom, I would we would greatly appreciate it. Everyone will have your three minutes to speak who has signed up. If we could please just have some respect for those that are coming up to speak. >> Thank you. And if we could limit
interruption so we can continue with our meeting. >> All right. >> We would appreciate it. Good evening, Pastor Upton. Thank you. >> My name is Dennis Upton, and tonight I stand before you wearing three hats. one as a parent, one as an educator, and the
other as a pastor. Those three roles have taught me one truth that seems to never change. Children flourish when the adults entrusted with their lives choose collaboration over division, honesty over secrecy, transparency over uh
concealment, and trust over suspicion. First, parents have a God-given and moral responsibility to raise their children. Schools are invaluable partners in education, but cannot and
will not ever replace parents. Second, as an educator, our calling is to build partnerships, not barriers. Every successful student benefits when teachers and parents are transparent and
communicate openly and honestly. And thirdly, as a leader and a pastor, we are watchmen who will one day answer for the trust placed it placed in us. Whether you view this thought through
faith or simply the public service, leadership carries accountability. As a watchman, I am accountable for sounding the alarm. It is for this reason we emphatically proclaim Jesus is
the cure. As a watchman, [applause and cheering] as a watchman, we do not sound the alarm because we enjoy delivering bad news. It sounds the alarm because we see destruction
coming and we love the people. So we warn them as a watchman as Jesus and God assigned Ezekiel to repeatedly send prophets to expose sin
in Israel so they would repent before the judgment came. >> 60 seconds. These same categories of sin echoes through out the prophecies and even today as a watchman we have to sound the alarm. Jesus is the
cure. Is it not a slogan? It's our assignment. And as a watchman we stand on the wall. We see what many refuse to see. And that's the danger of sin, the consequence of rebellion, and the certainty of God's righteous judgment.
We warn them because we love them. We are not called to condemn the world. We are called to warn the world. We are not We don't preach without grace. We don't preach with without hope. We do not
expose without pointing people to Jesus. Not because sin is small, but it's because God's grace is greater. This is who we are. >> Pastor, we're at time. If closing real quick, if the watchman sees the sword coming and the watchman does not warn
them, then God holds us responsible and we are held at his blood. Therefore, as a faithful watchman, we sound the alarm, proclaim the gospel, we call the people to repentance, and joyfully proclaim
without any type of conviction, Jesus Christ is Lord, and Jesus is >> Thank you, Pastor Upton. We're at time. Thank [cheering] you. >> And we are going nowhere. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] [cheering] >> Next, I would
[applause] Next, I would invite Pastor Angel Verdugo to the podium. [applause] [cheering] [applause] >> [cheering] >> How you guys doing? >> Afternoon. >> I want first I want to acknowledge thank
you guys for the eye contact that you guys have been making with the others, people talking. It shows that you guys care. Uh my name is Angel Verdugo. Not sure if you guys remember me from last time, but I grew up in this district. Uh I'm a Latino boy that grew up around the gangs in Rosedale Middle School. As you guys know, that area is predominantly
Hispanic. And uh if it wasn't for the school calling my parents, I wouldn't be the man I am today. They called my parents when I had bad grades. They called my parents when I skipped. And they surely called my parents when I got got arrested for possession of marijuana in the seventh grade. And I want to just remind you guys that you guys, we honor
you guys, but we don't honor your decisions where you guys are keeping things from the parents and not saying anything. I want to just say this one thing. The Bible says it is appointed for men once to die, then after this the judgment. I see signs back there that says stop the hate. They say school is
safe. School wasn't safe for me when I was around the gangs and the people that were trying to get me to get associated with F-13 and trying to jump me in on Friday the 13 to make sure that I was part of their crew. And if it wasn't for teachers calling my parents every single time I was acting up, I would not be a
pastor in Tulsa, Oklahoma today. I am proud to say that my child will never grow up in District 500 because I've lost I've lost all respect for the system. I hear Mr. Dominic Rosa, oh, class of09, Mr. D. Roza, I heard him in the last meeting asking for revenue increase while the board is spending $11
million on cell phone usage. Why is he having to ask for a better education? I don't care if me and him have different different beliefs. At the end of the day, we love gay people. We love transgenders, but we don't love to sin. And we have to acknowledge that as preachers of Jesus Christ. And you can
say that we hate you guys. You can come at us on Facebook. You can say whatever you want about our church, but at the end of the day, you will stand be for a holy God and you will give an account for everything you're saying. [cheering and applause] Miss Rachel, I honor you, but you better step it up, girl. And if you guys are
Christians, if you guys are Christians and you say you believe in Jesus, you better show it by how you live and not by how you talk. >> Show it by how you live, man. There's children dying and going to hell. Dying in these streets, Latinos getting murdered. Black kids getting murdered.
>> 60 seconds. Come on, man. We need to make a difference in you guys. Your blood is going to be on your hands. And it's appointed. You guys, some of you guys are closer to death than I am. >> I'm not You're not hitting my direction. I'm hitting your direction. So, make a difference for us. Make a difference for
us. We You can't get mad at us for making a difference and standing for this. I I'm I don't hate you guys. If you guys want to talk, whatever. But at the end of the day, if you have an assignment to do as a person in the world, understand that we have an assignment to do as pastors to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Schools are
not safe. [screaming] We love we love we love everybody, but at the end of the day, sin is sin and we must acknowledge it with bold truth. I love you guys. I honor you guys. I know my time's probably up, but you need to make a difference because if there's something to vote you guys out of here, we will.
[cheering] >> [applause] >> Thank you. Next, I will invite up uh Pastor Ben Barlo. >> Yeah. So, [applause] if we can if we can. Um, next I would
invite Pastor Ben Barlo to the podium. And I would [applause] I would request and ask that comments be directed as community comment policy states towards the board and not specifically towards any staff or students. Um, please direct your
comments to the board. This is a one-way communication to the board and please be respectful of other staff and of other individuals who are here in the room. Please do not direct your comments towards any other individuals. Pastor Ben Barlo. Okay. [clears throat]
Um next on our agenda, this lunch is not here. We will ask uh Mr. William Rogers to the podium. William Rogers. I'm a 61-year-old male that's lived in Wak County, born down at St. Margaret's. And uh first off, I
trust the board. You were elected by the people of Wai County, and I trust the people of Wai County. So, I trust you. I'm here to speak tonight. I'm a I'm a worked at a private prison for five years. In that five years, I'm not here on the topic that's the highlight tonight. I want to speak about
and I speak in colors. I'm uneducated. I'm a product of USD 500. I'm a high school dropout, but I don't call myself a failure in life. I failed at at the educ and it wasn't the school district's fault. I want to thank you and the educators, but I want to talk about the private prison
industry. I've been involved with the ACLU air, uh, Sisters of Charity, and many other national organizations to fight the core civic facility from opening the ICE facility in the Levorth area. And they did open it. I spoke many times. We we've garnered national
attention on this topic and my concern now is and I spoke about this a lot. If this facility opened, it's 1100 beds. I seen the human rights violations personally. I did CPR on the
kids that died. I held them. I watched a young man die and they refused to send him out as his body shook. These are the things I've watched. I've been stabbed. I've had my head split open. And I'm concerned about the brown community, the attack across the country on the brown community. And I speak in colors and I
don't mean to be disrespectful. It's just how I am. I'm not articulate. I don't write speeches. I don't speak them. But I knew we'd see an increase in ice in in the We do county area after this facility opened and and now we're starting to see that. My concern is going forward with the school district
is that you're prepared to help the students as they as they enter into the new school years with the fears that some of these kids are going to face and you p prepare for them to have all whatever they need whether it be mental health whether it be clothing whether it
be somebody to pick them up if their mom or dad doesn't make it that night. Right. >> 60 seconds. >> We worked with a family last week. Um the mother's was born here. the uh two kids, an eight-year-old boy, and as our as my team spoke to him, they said, "How you doing?" And he looked at us and he
said, "My head is full of chaos. My head is full of chaos." That's eight years old and and we're doing the best we can. We got a great team out there. We got the Northland uh Neighborhood United. So, I ask that this school district prepare themselves for it. And I'm going to leave my card and I'm going to leave
an article that kind of backgrounds uh that was done by a national uh article that I'm in and and it highlights our work that we did fighting this. But also I'm going to leave my card and I ask that you you or somebody on the board reach out to me and let's sit down and let me give you I can bring in anybody
you want to help you with this and let's unite together to protect the kids of Wak County. You know, it doesn't matter if you're a citizen. It doesn't matter if you're here illegal. It doesn't matter if you got right papers. They're picking them up. I just had a gentleman at my house three weeks ago. Eight
months inside detention. Was here totally legal. >> We're at time. >> So, thank you. I'm going to leave this. I don't know how to get it to you, but >> you can hand it to Chief behind you and uh he will get it to you. >> Thank [applause and cheering] you. Next, I'll invite Freda Tresban.
Miss Tresban, are you online? Can you hear us? Miss Tresvan, are you online? don't see her. So, we will continue. Next, I would invite up Siler Kakaco. Siler Kakaco, are you online in person?
Okay. Oh, there. Okay. Thank you. Good evening board. >> Good evening. >> Um I wanted to uh I wanted to come and address several matters that I think
this board needs to be aware of and I wanted it to be on the record. Um recently, um there was an article put out by um the Free State News and in it, it had research compiled by Magnolia Consulting on school employees and
sexual misconduct found um within schools. And it's estimated in one in 10 students will experience some type of school employee sexual misconduct before they graduate high school. And that 93% of those incidents will occur in public schools. Half of the offenders had prior
allegations made against them before before they were finally stopped. One in three had multiple victims and 39 or I'm sorry 60 36% were kept on paid administrative leave and 24% simply resigned. They all had clean exits, no
accountability, and free to appear in other districts job postings. Just in Kansas alone, between December 2014 and July 2024, 234 teachers were disciplined by the state. 128 of them were revoked. Roughly one in four of them lost their license for
physical or sexual misconduct against students. The reason why I'm here today is I want to bring attention to this board that in 2022, this administration interfered with a law enforcement investigation into two teachers who were allegedly sending students sexually explicit
material and providing them with drugs and alcohol. This administration failed to report this matter to KSD. Both teachers were criminally convicted. One of them still holds a valid teaching license in the state of Kansas because this district never made the report it was obligated to make. I have since
reported that failure to KSD myself. In 2025, nine employees, including myself, brought formal complaints of a hostile work environment to the associate superintendent of human resources and his directors. I have a recording of the response we received. In it, he refers to himself as a leader and as a board
member, which I wasn't aware that he was an elected board member. He states that he would have to he would hate to have to dismantle the department. I'm [snorts] prepared to provide that recording to any member of this board, including the media on request. Third, human resources department and the superintendent and this board are well
aware that this district is currently employing a law enforcement officer who is a subject of an active state investigation following sustained findings of misconduct through three independent reviews. That officer received no discipline. I conducted that investigation on the direct order of the
chief of police. The chief who ordered is no longer here and I was terminated. I just want to put those three things in context because those incidences, they're not isolated failures. It happens every day here in USD 500. If any of you would like to speak, I'm more
than happy to speak with you oneon-one and provide you the recordings and evidence that I have against these individuals. My recommendation is you immediately terminate these people. your head of HR, your directors of HR, and the superintendent,
and find people, find people who want to be here. The liability that they have created is going to cost the taxpayers more than you guys understand. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Next, I'll invite up Carl Stafford. [applause] Oh, I'm sorry.
Hello. My name is Carl Stafford. Just for the record, uh my name is Carl Stafford and um it's time beginning or I got my own timer here too as well. So I don't I can respect that. >> All right. Is it 3 minutes starting now?
>> We're at 2:45. >> We're 245. All right. There we go. I'll talk fast. All right. So, um I just want to say that I stand here today as an educator, but also I stand here as a father, but also I stand here as not a perfect man, but a purchase man. Okay. Okay, I've been bought with a price and
that price is the salvation that I needed and the forgiveness that I needed in Jesus Christ. You see, Isaiah chapter 9:6 says, "For to us a child is born." Okay, for to us a son is given and uh the government will rest on his shoulders and he should be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting prince, prince of peace,
everlasting father, prince of peace. You see, the the the thing is the separation of church and state never existed in the constitution. Okay? Separation church and state was meant so the government didn't get too involved with the church. The church has always set the moral fabric of society. The church has always
set the moral standard of society. You see the laws that y'all follow come from the book that I carry. So we have to understand what we're doing here. So I want to understand that as a teacher, I am a mandated reporter. Right? That's if anything is being neglected legally or if anything is being neglected from a
child, I must report it. [snorts] But see, as an educator, I must first seek to support before I hope to report. I must seek to support before I hope to report. You see because we are the tripod of education right we support the students the community right the school and the parents and the parents come
first in that matter now we must understand that um communication should always be informed so the mandate that you have is a mandate to communicate with parents that's what we truly must follow and we must understand that and see we can't allow the micro to become the macro there are kids that are being
abused but it is not majority of the 21,500 kids in the Kansas City Kansas public school district so we cannot not change policies and and uh things that we must follow because a few kids are going through. We must help those kids that are going through and when it issues occur, we must do that. So, I want you to understand that as well. But
also understand this because I want to read this uh because this has been sent to you guys and if you haven't received it yet, uh it'll it'll be in the mail. To avoid litigation, KCKPS must take the following actions uh no later than 14 days from the letter. cease all enforcement of the transgender guideline
and any related regulations, guidelines, or practices that prohibit or restrict the disclosure of information concerning a student's transgender status, gender identity, sexual orientation, preferred name, or preferred pronouns of the students parents and guardians. Number two, evaluate all KCKPS policies, guidelines, and practices to ensure that
they protect and promote parents rights under FURPA, including the rights to inspect and review their children's education records in full without restrictions based on content of those records. Number three, issue a written directive to all KC KPS clarifying that no policy guideline or practice may prevent parents from accessing or being
given information about any portion of their children's education records, including records containing information about transgender status, gender identity, sexual orientation, or preferred name or preferred pronouns. Number four, provide written confirmation to me. >> To me, as in the written confirmation that you need to provide with the rest
of those things is John Jordan Corpinter of the United States DOJ. I ask, do you guys do you guys plan to comply with those requests? >> Mr. Stafford, we're at time. Thank you so much. >> All right. Uh, silence is uh non-compliance. I'm going to assume with
all due respect, God bless you all. Okay. [applause and cheering] [applause] >> Next, I will invite up Scott Harding. Mr. Harding, >> are you on line? Mr. Harding, can you hear me? >> [clears throat] >> You'll need to unmute yourself, Mr.
Harding. I think you're muted right now. We still can't hear you, Mr. Harding. You're still muted. You'll have to unmute yourself, please, if you can. Mr. Harding, I can see you, but I You're still muted. >> Sorry, Mr. Harding. We cannot hear you.
You You're still muted. >> We can Can we If you can figure out how to unmute. There you are. I think I can hear you now. Yep, there you are. >> Finally come up on my screen. I don't know why I was having a problem, but uh I uh I don't know how much time you have there. >> Your time starts as soon as you start
speaking now. >> Well, how about if I just wait and I'll come in and talk in person. That's what I want to do. Stop my time. Okay, >> we can move you to the end of the line, but we've got uh we've got a few more.
um folks to before you. So if you make it in prior to that's great. Thank you. Next would invite Mr. Dom D. Rosa to the podium. >> Good evening, President Lopez and board of education members. >> Good evening, members of our community. >> Thank you for the opportunity to speak
tonight. I understand that no one likes paying bill more in taxes. Families are managing higher grocery cost, gas costs, higher insurance cost, and higher housing cost. Businesses are facing many of the same challenges. Those concerns
are real and they deserve the respect. But the decision is not simply about taxes. It's about whether our district keeps the ability to meet the needs of our students in the face of rising costs. If the board votes not to exceed
the revenue neutral rate, USD500 could forego approximately $7.74 million in local revenue and matching funds. At the same time, the district is facing nearly $500,000 less in federal funding and
approximately 3.4 million in additional special education costs along with increasing employee health insurance and operating expenses. These costs will exist whether you regardless of how you [snorts] vote. [clears throat] The question is not whether these expenses
are coming. They are. The question is whether the district will have the resources to address them responsibly. It's also important to remember that what this vote does and what it does not do. Voting to exceed the revenue neutral rate does not approve a final tax
increase. It simply allows the district to continue the budget process, hold the required hearings, and allows more conversation to be done. A yes vote keeps the conversation open. A no vote closes the door on approximately 7.74
million before that conversation's completed. Every one of us wants to have strong public schools. Strong schools protect our property values, attract businesses, strengthen our neighborhoods, and
prepare the next generation of leaders, workers, and citizens. >> 60 seconds. >> Investing in public education is an investment in the entire community, not just in our students sitting in the classrooms today. So tonight, I want to ask you to please vote to exceed the
revenue neutral rate. And you will find the rest of my comments and attached with you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Next, I'd invite Daniel Tudon to the podium. [cheering] [applause] >> Good evening, board. Um, I just want to
say thank you guys for letting me come back up here and speak. Uh, I really appreciate it. Uh, my name is Daniel Tudon. Uh, and about four weeks ago, I stood right here and I shared that um how I was sexually assaulted at my fourth grade um teacher while attending
at this school district and in two it happened in two separate occasions. Uh this happened to me in a span of three months. Both my teacher and principal told me the same thing was don't tell your parents. When I told my principal, she told me
we'll take care of this. Come to find out, it wasn't even it wasn't even reported. Instead, four weeks have gone by and I still haven't been connected by law enforcement. The only officer who reached out to me was the district
police officer who has since been fired. Other than that, the only people calling me have been the school district. I've also never been uh I've I've also never been contacted about Title 9. From what I understand, there are supposed to be
procedures in place when someone reports something like this. If those procedures were followed, why has no one explained them to me? Why am I the only one who has to be showing up here for answers? The truth is, I don't trust this school
district to handle this. That's why I'm standing here again. I'm not willing to let this get swept under the rug. >> [applause and cheering] >> When I was in the fourth grade, my teacher had sexually assaulted me. As I mentioned, I was just a kid. I didn't understand what was happening. I was
confused. I was scared. And I didn't know what to do. But what stayed with me wasn't just in that moment. It was everything that came after. For years, I had reoccurring nightmares. I would have dreams about my teacher molesting me all
over again. I would cry. I would still be scared even after years of it happening. That's what trauma does. >> I would wake up terrified. It affected my sleep, my peace, and my childhood for years. I'm not standing here because I want sympathy. I'm standing here because
I want answers. I want accountability. And I want to know that no other child will ever wonder if their voice matters. I was a little boy when this happened. And I didn't have a voice then, but I do now. and board. Again, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. But
I come here today to say that all teachers just need to do their job. They just need to teach the math. They just need to teach science. They just need to teach history. We don't need teachers telling children that they need to keep secrets from parents because truth is never afraid of being exposed. Secrets
are. And if you're if you're not if there's if nobody's hiding anything, then there's nothing to lose. Again, thank you board. Thank [applause and cheering] you. [applause] Next, I'll invite up Mr. Tomanzo board. Thank you for allowing me the
opportunity to speak to you. It's going to be short and sweet. Um, I agree that there shouldn't be any secrets when it comes to uh relationships between instructors and students. There's also though
um we must honor when children tell us stuff that they're afraid to tell their parents at home. And that has to be weighed with what's in the law, too. I understand that. Let's just remember to honor the safety, mental and physical
safety of our children and things that they share with their teachers or other staff and protect people that are being harmed. That's the best I can do with because it's a slippery slope and I represent
>> I resent I um represent LGBTQ people across Kansas. Thank you for allowing me to speak. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Next, I'll invite Miss Rachel Russell to the podium. >> I'll cheer for myself because that's all
I need. Rachel Russell. Um I Good evening, uh president, board members, and superintendent. My name is Rachel Russell. Less than a year ago, I sat where you are sitting today as a member of this board. Today, I stand before you not as a former board member or a
community advocate, but as the proud parent of two current USD 500 students, USD 500 students, and one proud graduate. We've heard one perspective tonight. I'd like to offer another.
People often say there are three sides to every story. one person's perspective, another person's perspective, and the truth that emerges when we are willing to examine the facts. My perspective is rooted in
firsthand experience. Ironically, when the religious organization speaking here today first came before this board, I was one of the members who advocated for them to be allowed to speak, not because I agreed with their message, but because I believe in due process. At that time
there was no evidence that had been that they have been given a fair opportunity to be heard. That is what good governance is. Today I feel just as strongly about sharing a different perspective. My children have attended this district through some of the most
difficult seasons of our family's life. They have experienced family disruption, housing instability, and all the challenges that come with simply growing up. What they experienced from USD 500 was not secrecy. It was not
indoctrination. It was certainly not grooming. What they experienced was care. Teachers who noticed when something wasn't right. Counselors who checked in. Administrators who extended grace. Adults who treated my children as
if they were their own and made sure they had what they needed to succeed. That is the district I know. I don't want to discredit the experiences that anyone has shared tonight. Every family deserves to be heard and every concern deserves to be taken seriously, but
there is a difference between addressing concerns through the appropriate legal and administrative process and trying those concerns in the court of public opinion. We should allow facts, evidence, and due process, not headlines or social media or the whole video
production gang, to guide our decisions. What concerns me most is that these accusations are creating more fear and more harm than good. They generate fear, negative headlines, and distrust while distracting from the work that truly
matters. There is a difference between protecting children and projecting our fears upon them. As a parent, I know which one my kids experience in USD 500. And while schools have an important responsibility, not every challenge
facing our children is the result of a school system. Many reflect broader community issues, family circumstances, Miss Russell, >> and societal challenges that require all of us, not just educators, to be part of the solution,
>> Miss [cheering] Russell. [applause] >> I will end with this. >> So, don't we have somewhere better to be with our time? Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you, Miss Russell. >> [applause] >> Mr. Scott Harding.
Mr. Scott Harding. >> Okay. Um board, we're going to take a brief fivem minute recess. Um if we can reconvene in six minute, we'll reconvene here at 5:55 uh to continue with our meeting. Thank you. >> [music] >> I don't know. >> [music]
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Come on. Huh? Heat. Heat. [music] Come >> [music]
>> on. Heat. >> [music] >> Heat. Heat. Hey, [music] hey, hey. >> [music] >> Hey, hey,
hey. >> [music] [music] >> Okay, we are going to reconvene and continue with the business of the board. Order, please, if we can have some quiet in the boardroom. Thank you. We will continue with the business of the board. Mr. Harding has joined us
board. So we are going to um since he has joined during the community comment portion um we are going to ask Mr. Harding to come forward um and give his comment. Mr. Harding again you will have three minutes to speak. Um once you state your name, begin speaking. Um your time will start. I will let you know
when you have about 60 seconds um to go and then I will let you know when you were at time. So welcome. Thanks for joining us in person. >> Thanks a lot for letting me speak. I know. I was trying to get in, but for some reason I had no button to press on
my phone to get in there. But finally something come on and I got in. But I'm going to tell you, you know, everybody's known about different things within this USD 500. The board members, everybody's known. So my problem is that you're not
doing enough to protect these kids for one thing. And another thing, the spending is out of control. and we've dumped more money and stuff and we're still getting Fgrades on all the schools. And what I would hope to see you guys
would go revenue neutral and that's a big thing because you know these taxpayers are hurting. Every one of you guys know that's here know that and nothing's being done. They said 7,500 people lost their homes, their
property and nobody gives a That's you guys. You guys are >> if you could please refrain from profanity. >> Everybody's doing it. You know that's freedom of speech. You can do whatever you want. I can say whatever I want. But the thing of it is you guys know it. Every one of you. And nobody did a
thing. I gave every record that I'd find on the fraud and everything else. And you're not doing a damn thing about it. >> Every one of you knew it. And I'm pretty pissed about it. And you guys ought to be pissed too because >> Mr. Harding, if you could address the board, Mr. Harding,
>> we found out. We put it out. and what was done. I said, "Put it out there in public. Let them know what's being done." And not a damn thing was put out by you guys. Dr. Stubblefield, I'm disappointed. Randy Lopez, I'm disappointed. The board
members, the new ones, can't say nothing about it, but they're doing a better job. And they need to, you guys need to step up and say, "Hey, it's revenue neutral for the people, the children." And you know this all these thousands and millions of dollars that went through here if you look at it. You're
not spending it on the kids. You're not educating the kids. You're dumbing them down. >> And I really see it. You know, I wasn't the best student in the world either when I was a kid. But I tell you what, >> they were actually telling me
to do things, you know, and I was like out of out of hand, which I found out later what was the problem. But you know, you guys don't correct the problems when you find a problem. And sexually abusing these kids in these schools, the teachers, everything. They got them on video from what I hear. So
you guys, you guys got to step up to the plate and you got to say, "Hey, I knew about this." And by law, federal law, if any one of you guys knew about this ahead of time and you didn't do nothing, you can get 20 years in jail. So guys that know about it, you need to do
something now. I'm telling you, I'm serious. They're investigating this stuff. It's already been brought between the the uh FBI and I'm not the only one that's done it. And it just they say, "Oh, Scott Harding is full of shit." Well, no, I'm not. >> We're at time, Mr. Harding.
>> Everything's going to the and things are coming down and hopefully it'll get the rest of you guys. Thank you, Mr. Harding. And it's going to get worse. >> Thank you. >> I appreciate you doing what you can. You board members, revenue neutral, please. Thank you.
Okay, thank you. >> We're going to continue with the business of the board. Um and um but before we do, I do just um I feel compelled to just say that I do want folks to understand that this board um
does follow up and our administrative leadership team does follow up when there are allegations of any misconduct um around our children specifically and but anyone we do follow up and there is a process and a protocol and I think it is a false narrative to put out there that we do not follow up or follow
protocol or follow process. We havea staff that care. We have a board that cares and we have a leadership team that cares. And it is unfair to justif to to say blanketly that our team does not follow up when there are allegations of any kind of misconduct in our district.
So I just want to put that out there that we do care and that we do follow up. And if there is if there are any allegations that you would like to share, please let us know because we will follow up. So just I just wanted to say that it's unfair to do that to make a blanket statement that we don't care that the board doesn't care or that our
leadership team do not care or our teachers do not care and do not follow up. We do they do and we follow our process and we additionally we do not have any policies that break any federal guidelines or policies or laws. We follow and comply with what we must. We
also work to keep our students and our staff safe at all times. Amen. [applause] >> Next on our agenda is item three. Um is there a motion to adjurnn to siny die? >> So moved.

pass it to Miss Downey. She will read um [clears throat] what the recommendation is and when we have um at least four four votes for the president um that individual will uh be the president for the 2627 school year. So, um, if for
some reason we don't have at least four v votes, we will repeat the process. Um, I think the last time we did it three times. I don't know if we'll have to do that today, but we'll repeat it at least three times um during this meeting. >> Mr.

>> I got a question. Are you taking the entire list or what are you doing? >> Yes, the entire list F through F through was it F through W. Um is or F through V? I'm sorry. We will have to go back. I don't think item C was included in that
which is the KSB appointments for 2627. So we'll do that separately. >> So F through V. >> Yes, correct. F through V. Any any additional questions
>> and G the time the meeting time of the meeting? >> Yes, the current uh meeting time will stay at 5:00. Um I know the board discussed potentially moving up um to 4:00 for executive sessions. Um there
wasn't consensus um yet um but there is um if there's an appetite for the board and specific dates to do executive sessions at 4:00 um we can always um do that by noticing that and changing those those times. But the times official start time for meetings that is proposed
is the same as it has been which is five o'clock unless it's otherwise noted in that document like the daytime meetings or the listening and learning sessions. Any additional questions on item on the resolution for items F through V.
Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Um, we actually we have a motion. I'm going to need a second person to second the motion um uh due to a potential conflict um on the motion. So, Miss Clark cannot second the
motion. So, we will ask for a second person to second the motion, a different person to second the motion >> on accepting this. >> On accepting items F through V. Yes, correct. >> What it is, she say she's got
>> I see. >> I move that we accept this. >> Okay, Miss Brownley Page is seconded. Uh, thank you. >> And Mr. Lopez, I'm sorry. I do have one question. >> Yes, >> I didn't call the the record news. It's still [snorts] in existence.
I don't mean to harm him. Just asking. >> Yes, it is still in existence. And um we just continued with that as our official notification. It doesn't prevent us from using other notifications when we when
you all vote on the publication for the hearings with some of the other local papers that actually like print. Um sometimes how they run or how they fall is not like a regular cadence. If it falls within that window or if we want
to put it there, we still can put it there. But when we looked at some of the other local ones, the cadence is not predictable so that we can ensure that we meet the um statute deadlines, but it doesn't prevent us from putting in other papers as well.
>> Okay. That that was my concern because I've never seen a record newspaper >> and I not not only you I brought it up with other pastor. >> Yeah. >> Most people say, "Well, where's that at? Where do you get it?" And that was my
concern. And you're saying we will use possibly other sources because when you ask that they're like what what? >> So just trying to check on that. >> Additional questions on the resolution

believe uh Miss Laura is here. Um but just information for the board to review um regarding the main library project and the update um on the project. Um board hopefully you have a chance to review that information. Um Dr. Stubblefield, anything you want to
share. Um I will just I mean I'll share that the um library was presented to Landmarks Commission um a week or two ago. Um and um it did not um get voted for approval by the landmarks commission
which we anticipated being a historic district. Um that was not um a surprise for for us or for the library or for the folks that presented um at the at the commission meeting um that evening. Next step is the library will go the the
request for the main branch library will go to the full commission meeting at the July 30th uh commission meeting um for a request for approval to move forward. Um so if you have an interest in um just want to make sure that the full board was aware of the timeline and um where
we are in the process. So that's the information that's being provided to you all tonight. >> Mr. Lopez, if that committee says no, what happens next? >> So, I'm not entirely sure and I'm
looking out into the audience. I think if the commission does not move forward with approval, I don't know if there's an appeal that can happen um for for them. U Mr. Gohane, I don't know if you are aware of what the process would be um or if we would need to regroup and
figure out next steps on the main branch. I I don't know off the top of my head. I believe that there is an appeal process. I just am not sure what it is. So, >> we can uh we can certainly follow up with um Miss Hunt Pelgrino to find out
and uh the the rest of the team um so we're fully aware of what happens either way and what next steps are. Additional questions. Okay. Thank you board. We will continue on with agenda item eight. Um
these are board updates and approval and are on the agenda today for approval and action. It's recommended that the Kansas City, Kansas Board of Education approve publication of the notice of hearing for the revenue neutral rate and the 2026 2027 budget and budget hearing notice as
submitted by uh Miss Denita Robinson, executive director of business finance, Miss Lisa Walker, assistant superintendent of federal programs, and recommended by Dr. Stubblefield. Is there a motion to do so? And this is I will just state this is a
requirement by statute that we um have to p uh publish the notice uh for a public hearing um since we already approved the intent to exceed revenue neutral. Not saying that we would but just that it gives us the option to.
This recommendation is so that we can publish in our newspaper, the record news, and in other mediums um that we will have a hearing on that with the time and date and place and all other re relevant information. Just want to make
sure folks know what they're potentially approving. Is there a motion to do so? >> So, do we have a date? Yes, the date is August 25th um during our board meeting at 5:00 PM um is the date and time and it will be here in the boardroom.
>> So it should it does it required to be in the um this this what is this a recommendation? No, it's just to get approval so that we can publish to meet the timelines of the and Miss Robinson
probably can tell you it's a certain number of days that we have to have it published. So people are 10 days. So this is so that we can get it published for the 10 days but it is August 25th. Um and then we would say the time the
start time and typically it's right at the top of the meeting. I'll moved. >> It's been moved. Is there a second? >> I second. >> Thank you. It's been seconded. Any additional questions or comments, discussion?
Hearing none, Miss Yes. I'm sorry, Miss Brownley Page. Uh, I understand the intent, but I I won't vote for this because I've been too many people who are being hurt and we're trying to find other ways to get the money. I think
that can be successful. I know there are those who think not. I respect their opinion, but in not in no good faith could I vote for that. So, I just wanted it out front. No surprise. I've been consistent the whole time. So, just
wanted people to know that. >> Thank you, Miss Brownley Page. Any additional questions or comments? >> Okay. Miss Downing. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. No. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy Lopez. Yes.
>> Robert Milin Jr. >> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. No. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. W. >> Dr. when yes, >> thank you board.
>> We will and we'll make sure to uh let the board know when that is published if we could just share that out, Dr. Stubblefield, when it's put out there and so that we can share it out and um to Miss Brownley Page's point, we'll share it out in other mediums as well besides just the one news outlet or
record news. Okay, next agenda item. >> Yes, Dr. W. three minute time limit for I've never seen a time limit for >> No, in the past in public hearings there's no time limit for folks. Um yes,
>> I didn't think there was. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Next agenda item. Board. It's recommended the Kansas City, Kansas Board of Education approve the AIA-133 contract and supporting documents for the new Kirk Novak Construction Partners to serve as the construction manager of
At Risk, the CM for the library projects uh including the Parker remodel and the new main library. Is there a motion to do so? >> So moved. >> It's been moved. Is there a second?
>> Second. Moved and seconded. Thank you. Any questions or discussion? >> I have a question. >> Yes, Miss Pen Hicks. So with the fact that the historic preservation has not given a green light to this project and that it has to go in front of the
commission in order to even move to the next step and then possibly if they don't approve it and then we have to go to an appeal. Would we want to continue to move forward with a contract on [snorts]
this particular project if it has not been given a green light? Parker is a separate location. So, um Parker's >> tied to the main library piece. >> It's tied to the main library piece. Um when the board originally voted to move
forward with the demolition, there was an option for uh possible renovation. >> And so, the Parker component was going to happen in either option. So, that's why we would continue to move forward with um the Parker portion. And then if
it doesn't go through wherever it lands, Parker was still going to exist in the if um and we can provide it might be on the board docks. Um >> I'm saying the pictures of administration was still moving out of
the main library in both in both options. >> Yeah. >> Want the community be to be aware that it wouldn't move forward with or without >> main library being demolished. Thank you. Additional questions or comments, discussion
hearing? None. Miss Downing. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy Lopez. Yes. >> Robert Milin Jr. >> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pinhicks. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. Yes.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. W. >> Win. Yes. >> Thank you, board. Next agenda item. It's recommended the Kansas City, Kansas Board of Education approve the proposed guaranteed maximum price or GMP amendment 3 to the AIA-133
prime construction contract with New Kirk Novak Construction Partners for the construction of the new Woodland Hills Elementary in the amount of $30,753,995 and overall and overall project budget of $40,353,510.
$10. Is there a motion to approve? >> So move. >> It's been moved. Is there a second? Thank you. >> I second. >> Moved and seconded. Thank you. Any questions or discussion on this item? Miss Downing.
>> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy Lopez. Excitedly. Yes. >> Robert Milin Jr. >> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Penh.
>> Pamela Penh. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. Win. >> Dr. Win. Yes. They are doing some work over in that area. If you have not driven by that area, I recommend you do. They've they've done a lot uh over over
for the new Woodland Hills. So, go check it out. Okay, board. Uh next agenda item. We are at item nine. Um this is new business. It's forformational purposes only tonight. Um no action is being requested of us. This is an opportunity for us to ask questions if
we have any now or to receive the information and to share questions with Dr. Stubblefield later. This may or may not come back for um action in a future board meeting, but tonight it isformational purposes only. If you recall, this item was shared previously
by Dr. Stubblefield and she did send an email um with information um about this item um around advocacy build um and a potential partnership with them um for some advocacy around potential grant
dollars that may be available to the school district. So would open up if there are any questions for Dr. Stubblefield tonight and if not we can share those via email with her as they come up. Can I'm not asking for it now
because I didn't send the question in, but can we get some information about this company a little bit more than what we have here? Um, yes, there were some questions presented and we do have the an um the
answers to them. So, we'll share them out and I think that'll give some more context and once we share those, well, she sent them. Yeah. Then you have it. And so once you look at those, if you have any followup >> questions, just let let me know.
>> Okay, additional questions on this item. >> Okay. >> Thank you, board. All right. Next agenda item 10, uh, board policy. Mr. Gohane. >> So, we got a couple of policies up to for review by the board tonight. The
first policy that's up is policy DFA which is grants and outside financial resources. Believe this is up for a first read if I am remembering correctly. Um the issue here is that uh the current policy provides in the second sentence and you
can see it if you look at the redline version. Uh the chief financial officer shall approve all grant applications before their submission. I believe that's how it currently reads. we're adding language or proposing to add language that says or superintendent designate since we don't currently have
somebody with the job title of chief financial officer. Um so there needs to be somebody who has the authority to approve and um grant applications before they're submitted. So that's the that's the recommended language change.
>> Thank you. Mr. Gohane. Is there a motion to approve DFAA for first read? [cough and clears throat] I move that we approve it. >> It's been moved. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Moved and seconded. Thank you. Any
questions or discussion hearing? None. Miss Downing. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy. Yes. >> Robert Milin Jr. >> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pinhick. Yes.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> Dr. W. Yes. >> Thank you board. >> So the next policy that we have up is is for second read and this is for the policy BCBG
voting method. Um this is the policy that we discussed initially making the change from the language of will to shall for disclosure of conflicts of interest. A board called during the board retreat. Um, we had discussions about making modifications of examples
rather than in the policy to put those in the board handbook in the section uh entitled conflicts of interest. We're working on that in conjunction with some other changes to the policy handbook that the board discussed. So based upon that, we're coming back to ask for
approval of second read uh with just the single language change to policy BCBG. >> Thank you, Mr. Gohane. Is there a motion to approve BCBG for a second read? >> So moved. >> A second. >> Moved and seconded. [clears throat]
Thank you. Any questions or discussion? Um, I thought we also discussed putting into the policy, for lack of a better word, consequence
for violation. >> If I had to check the minutes, I >> I'll double check on that. I I if we did reach consensus on that, I missed it. I do know we were talked about putting examples in the originally in the policy hand policy itself and then we switched that to the board handbook. I'll double
check and if that's accurate we'll bring that back for sec or the third read and >> see if there's anything about the language change in third read that the board still wants to consider additionally. You can take it to a fourth read. You don't have to adopt it fully in the third read. >> Yeah. and that there is language in the
board handbook that we that we reviewed around consequences or for for this um which I think we also discussed, but we'll we'll check that. >> And again, if any board member on any of these policies has questions about the language that's proposed or uh suggested
changes, even if it's in between, let me know so that I can make sure we have some language available. I don't want to um bring something that doesn't have some options for you to consider. Great. Any additional questions? Miss Downing.
>> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy. Yes. >> Robert Milin Jr. >> Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. Win. Yes. Thank you board. >> So the next policy that we have up is the social media policy which uh there have not been any changes to. This is up for a third read and this is the one
that's based upon the statutory change um or legislative change that came down about um the use of social media and um particularly communications between staff and students. Is there a motion to approve for a third
read? >> So moved. >> Been moved. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Moved and seconded. Questions, comments. Dr. Stubblefield. >> I just have one comment because we have gotten um a few questions and we've said
it a couple of times and also put it on our social media. Our comments on our district sites are it's still turned off. um our staff has not returned and we just don't want our staff to unintentionally break the law without
having an opportunity to know and understand what the law actually says. So I just wanted to say it publicly again that is what initiated us turning off the public comments. There are other ways if you want to communicate directly
with uh any member of the district or schools. Um on our website is the ask the district that goes to um everyone but then there are um emails and other pathways to um share that communication.
So will this be reviewed before school starts in some way to do professional development to make sure everybody understands? >> Yes. So that we will communicate um with all of our staff members and um
reminders about um what the social media policy is. Since this is the third read, um um building administrators and department leaders will get a copy of it and do the and for those reminders and we'll continue throughout the year just
to remind people um about um social media. While we can um control our district ownes, their personal ones we can't. So that's why we'll continue to remind them. And will they sign off that
it was gone over, reviewed, you had a chance for questions to make sure the people fully understand. And I'm only talking about not their personal >> but for the district. >> For the district, >> it's reviewed. >> Yes. So
>> yeah. So the things that we are required to um have with them, they do the mandatory video bundles. they all sign um the um front line indicating that they were there and and they received the information and it was reviewed.
When um the individual departments and um schools review it, same thing. They sign sheets of attendance and those kind of things and those are the notes or the evidence that they were there and present. Anybody that's hired later
after all of the onboarding, the human resource department does that when they onboard the staff um to ensure that we have those components. >> Okay, additional questions hearing none. It's been moved and seconded. Miss Downing.
>> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. Social media correct. >> Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy. Yes. >> Robert Milin Jr. >> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. >> Pamela Penhicks. Yes.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> Dr. Win. Yes. >> Thank you, board. >> And the last last item we have under policies is the student code of conduct. Um this is also up for third read. I
believe there have been some changes um to the pol or the student code of conduct since the second read to the third read. I might ask Mr. Hansford to enlighten us on what those are. >> Good evening board. So uh based on um we
had the principles back here for admin summit and so uh they provided some feedback based on some of the changes that they were seeing. And so what you may notice from your initial two reads um is uh first of all they
we had added um under class one um there was um leaving school without permission skipping had moved from class three up to class one. And so what you'll notice in this read is that we've actually put
it back to the way it was originally where skipping so leaving class without permission eloping from a classroom um would remain a class one but leaving the school grounds would stay with class 3. They felt very strongly about student
safety and so we did make that adjustment um to that and as well uh they had originally moved tobacco I believe possession to level one and
had left usage at class two. Again, principles felt very strongly that because class ones are typically addressed by uh teachers, they felt like tobacco use and possession should both sit down, remain in class 2, which it
did. It remained there. and then added some clarifying language that tobacco use and possession would also uh apply to a nicotine vape. So again, so that there was clarity there if it was a nicotine vape and possession of tobacco,
very similar um uh in those. And the one other um I'm trying to think if there were any other substantive changes. Um, we did add they did add um a
uh an additional I'm I'm trying to find it here and I don't have my glasses on. I apologize. But under uh but under class three, I believe you'll find an additional um uh language under trespassing that would apply to students who um open
doors and allow people to illegally trespass within the building. So that would that would be that would fall within that same um so to ensure safety I guess there were a number of the high schools and middle schools mentioning that that sometimes students were opening doors and so they wanted to address that and so we did add that as
well. So those are the changes that you'll notice uh from your second read to this read. >> Thank you. Yes. Questions Miss Clark and then Miss Penhicks. >> Yes. >> And I can look but you probably can answer a lot faster than me. Heard you mention uh nicotine tobacco. What does
that mean for other forms of drug usage or >> so so so there so drug us is still f is still mentioned in here so it does clarify um let me let me get my glasses >> I'm sorry put you on the spot
>> and so in um so you'll find in um in class. Where am I at here? And and Dr. Lar would she's out to this afternoon. She'd been a much better um
>> That's okay. This is third read. >> This is third read. >> Yes. I need to >> so um so alcohol drug possession and use um you'll see those under um class 3 on page 25
um of the document that's I believe the one that's attached uh tonight. Um those are mentioned under class three um alcohol drug possession and use um and dispersal and solicitation.
Okay. >> Okay. Thank you, >> Miss Ben Hicks. >> Mr. Hanford, Dr. Hford, I'm sorry. >> Mr. You were correct. >> All right. I'm sorry. I don't want to give everybody that, Dr. I noticed that we do have a use of cell
phone policy under the in the student conduct, but but is that going to be handled separately? because I didn't see any change in the language as far as what's reflected in the state law. So, is that a separate piece that we're going to be doing? >> Yeah. So, so we've always had um we've I
I believe there was let me I'm going to look really quickly uh because there was um uh if you look at the red line version um you'll see that there is some new language around that that better clarifies that it has to be inaccessible
so it reflects the the legislation. Um >> where can I find that because I >> So on page 17 it's under class it's class one. Well I'm saying page 17. And I hope I'm on the um I have a number of documents here open. So u but under class one the possession of personal
electronic devices >> um you can see our previous language um is is blacklined in the red line. And so it was added to clarify that because previously cell phones need to be put away during class time. that was the now
according to legislation they need to be turned off and stored in an inaccessible location from the student and so that's what this clarifies and then the processes um they'll be collected upon entry and returned upon uh dismissal.
Okay, I think we need to coordinate a piece here then because if you go to and I read the entire conduct, you go to page 51 where they talk about um cell phone use, we still have the old language there. So if a parent were to
read the conduct when they got to this portion of it under additional terms and definitions, the old policy is still there and it doesn't clarify what the new policy is and how we would handle the
any violations. Now the violations might be further up on 17, but the actual language about cell phone use, student use is on page 51. Okay, let me I'm just going to go because I will um so I will give I will give I will provide them with that feedback to make
sure that they understood because they I'm sure that's an oversight that they've left that there. >> So I appreciate that. I'm I'm sure that's just an oversight. >> You said that was on page 51. >> Yes. >> Yes. I just want to reduce any confusion we may have in the community and with parents and the students. And also I
would like to make sure that we disseminate that information about how we will handle um the cell phones widely and make sure that the teachers all have the same protocol process that's going to be used so we can be consistent and fair with our students as we help them transition.
>> Yeah. And we are um we're hoping uh working with uh because principal just came back so they are finalizing the plans right now. We'll start communicating those out as we problem solve through them. um and also um waiting um on our device storage uh
units to make sure they're they're going to be here. We have to think about transportation and all those things. So, we're trying to work all that out and scheduling and so but there will be communication about what those plans are coming out very quickly as soon as they're finalized at the buildings. And I will say we started um communicating
out the change in the policy via social media and sending it directly to um families um before they left and in the summer and at other intervals. We've been consistently sending what the new
law says and that we will be um collecting devices at the beginning, cell phones at the beginning of the day and returning them at the end of the um academic day. They can have them before school and then for after school activities, but buildings have been
communicating directly with their families. The next step, just to reiterate what Mr. Hansfer said, is what the process will look like. Um and they are finalizing that as their staff is returning. >> Yes.
>> Thank you. Additional questions, Dr. W. >> I sent an email to um Dr. still fulfilling leadership about gambling and if I think it's a class two and by the time you get down past the
third incident subsequent incidents um what happens when you get to six and seven >> I guess my question is if these don't work what do you what what what do we right as with with any discipline. So it
is it becomes progressive and so um again if you end up at six and seven you're going to have some more significant maybe removal from um removal from school you'd have certainly have some some OSS you'd have multiple meetings with set up on a on a specific
plan that would really depend from student to student but if you have a student that is unable to control it in that amount I mean six seven eight times I do think then schools what you would typically do as a school, we build a a a plan around that student where they'd be
monitored all the time, constant communication with their with their parents to make sure that we're we're working through that. So, um >> shouldn't it be in the here? >> I don't think I mean I will just tell you looking at our discipline data, we don't have students that have six and
seven incidents. It does it does weed itself out throughout. I think if I look at multiple when I look at our recurring um those students who have recurring issues with um they tend to once we get to alternative suspension where they
spend some time in A2SP and then they do some time in OSS it tend we we don't tend to see it again um again after that we don't typically get six or seven recurring issues. Well, subsequent would mean four, >> correct?
>> I'm just questioning why we're not putting that under the subsequent incidents when that would cover um multiple you you pass your third incident and and our solutions are not working. So,
>> and one thing that we were putting in in our code of conduct >> and I think you good and the other thing to remember is the code of conduct those are really guidelines, right? those are the guidelines that you follow and so you're always doing that and so you could get very detailed but again um in practice I mean that's what we do I'm not sure where we want to end that but
we I can certainly bring that to the code of conduct committee and see if they feel like it's necessary to add those I >> can can I just ask a clarification question what are you suggesting >> 24 I'm sorry >> what are you suggesting goes in there
because I was following but like is it specific lang language or I'm just getting >> I would think you would alert the student, the parent, the guardian that the subsequent incidents although it may be a case-bycase basis there is some
there's some floor. So I I don't know the language that you all I mean it first the mandatory guardian contact is in each of the slots. So,
>> but at when the fourth incident happens, one would think the language would be there as a clear indication of what is next that we just don't keep rolling
this this rolling along. Some clear it's kind of scary to use it, but some clear consequence. So, and I think that's where I just for clarity and we can definitely take it back to the um
group that looks at it and share that information. But a couple of things that when we create when this was created since I've been here, one um if it's like Mr. Hansfer said that excessive then we are looking at it individualized
because either like there's some sort of addiction or there's something else. So for us, I mean, we could say, I don't know, I don't have it pulled up um on that page. We can say um some generic language would that it'll be addressed
according to something, but [clears throat] if we put anything specific, it kind of puts us in a box because it is policy and such. The other um component that we always have to take into consideration is if those
individual students may have like IEP 504 because that will determine like the path that happens. So I historically that's why you know outside of this is level one two or this is what happens there because when you get to that point
if it's happening that much um you really are unpacking >> some um serious yes and that's what I think is recognize that if it is a serious issue then serious um
you all have the words but but I think it has to be clear to the student, the parent that there is a limit. We just don't continue to um previously listed interventions.
The previously listed interventions have not worked. So, you know, whatever the language is that recognizes the um the individual nature of the of the action, but but that it will result in
um a serious [laughter] result. >> Well, I I mean I I get so I'm scrolling there now because I was I was >> I'm on page 24. So, so at the end of page 24, so that that that subsequent incident, it ends at sit team referral.
So, that is a a >> would be a very intensive look at what the students needs are to be able to help them problem solve through whatever this recurring problem is that they're having. So, that'd be the student the student improvement team, the student intervention team would then be
analyzing what are their needs, what are the reasons that this continues to happen. Um, that is a very um that is a very a very serious intervention for us. That's one of the the things that we really we don't do that for every student. We'd be doing that for this particular student. So I would be
curious about what we would put what would be the I because again keeping in mind that if you go down to class three that ends in OSS hearing and potential um long-term suspension. Those are really our that's where our options run out because
>> and maybe this you know what I'm trying to say you could prevent getting to level class three or whatever with with the acknowledgement to the to the both the parent and the and the student that after three
we're seriously trying to save you. >> Yeah. I and and I think maybe we maybe a deeper conversation about because I'm I'm not like I said I a sit team would be involved the parents they'd be problem solving with the parents >> as long as it's clear >> um and so but but certainly we could
have more more conversation about that um to to take it back to the the coun to the committee. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Additional questions? >> Yeah, not a question but really a comment. I know that um in each of the class offenses, class one, class 2, and
class three, um we always contact parents and I just want to say that it says mandatory contact and that language was changed from just uh cell phone calls. Um so we see that change in red and I encourage all parents and students
to look closely um at the code of conduct and what the responses or consequences are. But um would you just speak to why that change was made? But it is in every single one that we do contact parents for each one of these
classes. >> So are you the um the mandatory the mandatory contact why that was changed from phone call um to contact or >> um I I will tell you honestly I did not I I was only with him on the changes
this. I'm not sure why that change was made. Dr. >> Mr. here. Um >> um [laughter] phone contact um from the sense that um when if a student skips class and somebody marks them absent, their first
point of contact is going to be the robocall or the text message. So if it said phone call and they selected text message it we then would be like well nobody called they got the text because
if the teacher or the administrator doesn't have an opportunity to call them until the end of the day or if it happened at the end of the day the next day it just puts us in a box. So the expectation and that's what we continue
to say is that you do need to make uh a phone call. Um but then there are some parents who specifically are like don't call me just text me. And so the phone call was really prescriptive. So that's why it says contact um around that. And
so we're navigating and provide uh providing clarity around it. But if something were to happen and it says something specific and it was something else then Greg would be trying to explain why we did something in lie of
>> right and I think that's just wides our opportunities to contact parents. Thank you. >> And why can't we do both? Because I'm hearing from some parents nobody called me. >> Right. >> And I'm not saying they didn't. I'm just saying this is what they're saying. And
then some of them say, I'd prefer a call than an email because you get so many emails. But I think we need to cover ourselves and use whatever medium we can. Call them, text them, email them just to say that we did reach out. And
sometimes I think we get away from that because they're saying one thing and I'm not saying they're telling the truth or the teacher is lying or whoever, but we just need to make sure we contact. >> Yeah. And I I will say in this particular case, I think what you're saying is absolutely true, but there are
some parents who only want you to communicate with them through email or and there are some parents who only want you to send a phone call. If they don't explicitly say that typically and you probably can talk to any teacher, they will do multiple things. But there are
some parents who explicitly say don't send me an email, just send me uh communication via what the our two-way communication. So, we uh try to be responsive to what they're saying and
then if we get feedback like if they didn't know that they can have a preference or they're saying send all three then that's typically noted when you look in the student information system of the parents preference. Otherwise, um they would typically get
all three because you can just kind of send some of them simultaneously. So, we will continue um to look at that and give feedback and make sure that we communicate with our teachers and our administrators
um to uh use multiple multiple methods unless um a parent has said uh I only want this especially if they reach out and don't get any response in one way then follow up in another way. Um, so
we'll continue to share that with them. >> Yeah. >> I have one last question. Oh, go ahead. How and with whom would we keep a record of any incidences that occur? Because when you get to middle school and high school, you're dealing with multiple
teachers. And so, how would we be able to keep a record of that so we can intervene at the earliest possible point? So in infinite campus there every student has um what we call the PLP is that what it's called >> and that's where it's logged uh if there
was any contact communication or what happens is logged there. If there is an actual incident it is logged um it's a part of it's under incidents or that sort of thing. Um and then all of our um
schools have sit teams, team meetings, and those sorts of things where things are coming up where they're problem solving around um what's happening um with students that they may share or like at the high school, they may have them all in the same academy and that
sort of thing, but it is all tracked in the student information system. So that if if if I have a student that um if I don't Kevin and I don't have a common time that we meet, but Kevin listed
something. If I'm the teacher of that student as well, I can see if there was an incident and it was recorded and the last time that the parent had been contacted or guardian or whomever. Um they can see it all when they look in Infinite Campus.
I just want to make sure that we are consistent with this process. It's going to be difficult for some to transition to this might be welcome relief from from others, but the ultimate responsibility is with the adults in the room and the staff who are going to be
with our children and I want to make sure that they're properly supported as well as our children. >> Mr. Clintans, did you have a comment or question? >> No, I feel great. I just want to make sure that we are communicating that we
do contact parents every step of the way. >> Great. Thank you. Any additional questions, comments, discussion? Thank you, Mr. Hansford. If not, there's a motion and a second on the floor, I believe. No, not yet. Okay, we need a
motion uh to approve for third read the student code of conduct for 2627. And I might suggest that you approve it for third read with the suggested changes to the uh cell phone language on page 51 so that it we're getting close to the point
where we need to print these and get them available for students. >> Thank you, Mr. Gohane. Is there a motion to do so? >> I move ahead. >> I move that we make the necessary correction on page 51. >> I second.
>> Moved and seconded. Any further questions, comments? Hearing none, Miss Downing. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda, I have a question. I just want to make sure what I'm voting for. I
heard the changes on page 51, but we're also voting to approve the handbook that's before us today with those changes. I just want to make sure. >> That's what I understand. >> Okay. All right. Yes. >> Randy Lopez. >> Randy. Yes. Robert Milin Jr.
>> Robert Milin Jr. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. Win. >> Dr. Win. Yes. >> Thank you, board. >> Okay. Next agenda item. Board. We will
hear from our superintendent of schools, Dr. Stubblefield. >> Okay. Good evening, everyone. I have a few announcements. First, I want to start out by saying um yesterday myself and several other staff members had the privilege of attending the Royals game
where we had three students who were honored at the Kaufman Stadium. Um their outstanding these outstanding KCKPS scholars were three out of the five students throughout the metro area to be awarded the Kansas City Royals Allstar
Scholars $10,000 scholarship. So, we have three of five and it was kids from all across the metro. So, that was exciting for us. The Kansas City Royals Foundation All-Star Scholarship winners must attend an accredited college, university or technical school after
graduation. They were all seniors. They're all they've all graduated. And since 2012, the Kansas City Royals and the uh Kansas City Royals Foundation have partnered with Youth Lee KC to award um over $700,000
to 70 students who have worked hard to leave a legacy within within their schools and communities. Um those students had to they had to attend at least 51% of the junior program days where they work on leadership development and other um activities. And
they also must uh plan to attend college. As I said, they also must show um some community involvement and um must provide a letter of recommendation. It's not an easy process. So, I just want to say kudos to the counselors and
one of them is here. We were at the game together. And those um staff members who support those students to um allow them to accomplish it. Um the three students were Muhammad Ahmed from Harmon Salange
UI from WOT and Stacia Jizard Shirz. Sorry if I messed up her name from W dot. So it was two W we dot Bulldogs and one Harmon Hawk. So congratulations to them. [applause] And this is just just a reminder for
anyone who may be listening and or if you um have neighbors or family do have students in our schools, we will continue to participate in the community eligibility provo provision program, C program that allows us to provide a free
breakfast and lunch at no charge for all of our students. However, um families are required to complete one household economic survey per household um electronically through Infinite Campus parent portal by August 14th. Um
principles will be reaching out directly to families. Um and this um allows us to get the necessary reimbursement to continue to provide that to um all of our families and we'll continue to send reminders around that. Um and as we are
thinking about school starting up again, our kids program is excited to offer its before and after school career here once again um beginning July 27th. You can apply through infinite the infinite campus portal or visit the website for more information and we'll send
reminders to families um regarding that and the locations of kids zone as well. Um and I know um a lot of parents are getting ready. I I we're all thinking about getting back to school, but just a reminder that we'll have our annual we

and we're excited um to be a a part of that and host it starts July 22nd through the 24th and because it is local we are able to allow 400 of our educators to attend um the training. Typically they have to travel out of
state to do that but we are able through our partnership um to allow 400 of our staff members to attend. Um, and I also, um, get the privilege of being one of their feature speakers just to talk about, um, my Abbott story and our
partnership with Abbott and, um, the great results that we're seeing, um, for our students and the outcomes um, that they provide. And that's all I have this evening. >> Thank you, Dr. Stubblefield. Lots going on as we prepare for the new school
year. Um, just a few things uh, from my end. Um again want to welcome back all our staff who were coming back um to work. Uh great to have you all back. Really excited for this upcoming school year um and everything uh that we will do and the positive impacts that we will
have for our students and our community. Um so we're excited to have you all back. Um I just want to remind folks to vote. Um there's a primary on August August 4th. Um so please make sure that you make your voice heard and you get out there and vote. Um we need people to
vote. we do county, we need you to get out and vote. So, make sure you vote in the primary. Vote early or vote, make a plan to vote on the day of, but make sure that you vote. We got a couple of state reps who were up for reelection. Um, and and best of luck and uh we're
excited. Um, no school board members up for election this year, so we have some continuity here. Uh but um please make sure you make a plan to get out there and vote um for this primary and then vote in the general in November. Lots on
the line um this year. Uh I think you mentioned convocation. I'm really excited about convocation um for um for the school year. So really excited to to see our our staff come back um for that. So, um I do just also
want to say um you know a couple of couple of things I want to want to share out. Um one I just want to reiterate like I know we all care up here and I know we deeply we're up here because we all care and we do this not because we
make a dollar or a dime or a nickel. Every board member up here is up here because you care and because it's in your heart and you love this community and you love this district and you love our students. And we may not always agree on how we
get there, but I know that we agree on our why because we love our students and care for this district. And so I just want to say thank you for your commitment and your leadership to lead our district. Um, and and thank you for the journey that we are taking to love
and to welcome and to protect all of our students and all of our staff. And I just want to make sure that that is important piece that we share with with our community and that everyone knows that you all care. We care. And we're going to do everything that we can to
make sure our staff, our students, and our families all feel safe and all feel welcomed and all feel loved in Kansas City, Kansas public schools. And there's a lot of noise. Um,
but we have to persist beyond that and we have to do what's right, what's right for our students and our families. And I just appreciate that we continue to create a safe and welcoming school district for all of our students and all
of our staff. Regardless of your status, regardless of your documentation status, regardless of your race, ethnicity, your beliefs, politically, religiously, sexual orientation. We love every student that walks in our
doors. We love every staff person that comes into our school district that chooses to be here. And our board, as a board, we have a responsibility to do what we can and to do what is necessary and right to
protect all of our students and to make the decisions to protect all of our students and our staff and each other. So, I just want to say like I know there's a lot of noise and a lot of negativity out in the air all the time and in this world, this society that
that where where where everyone can say whatever you want and that's fine. But we have a responsibility to stick together and to work together and to make sure that every student knows that they are loved and that if something
happens, we want to know and we will follow process, protocol, law to make sure that we protect those students. We're not perfect. I know that. But we will do everything that we can to
keep our students safe. So, thank you. And I do want to just acknowledge that there's a lot of negativity and attacks on people and students for various reasons. ICE is out here kidnapping people.
People are we're seeing hate crimes in our community. We don't stand for that here in Kansas City, Kansas public schools. Not not while I'm a board member. And we love every student, every staff person.
And I just want to make that very clear. And I also want to make clear that we are not each other's enemy. >> That's right. >> That we are here to work together for a common goal for our gold star, for our strategic plan, for our kids that we
love. We're not here because we're not here to fight each other. We're not here to vilify each other. We may not agree on the how, but that doesn't mean we're enemies. And I I'm I'm asking this community
to come together and stop vilifying each other. I know like there's a sprinkling of people here. This may be falling into a void, but you all care. And as a community, we need to stand up
together against violence, against hate, against fear. And we've got to do that together. So, please work with all of us, community, work with all of us. Families, we're all working together to
do what's right. And let's stop vilifying one another. We don't agree on things, and that's cool. We don't agree on the how and that's cool. You ain't got to like me and that's cool. But I'm going to give you an example of what I mean when you vilify people,
individuals, and what it can do. This summer, it's not the first time. That's cool. Like, I'm a publicly elected official. You can find my information. Pictures of my house, pictures of me,
pictures of my family, my address were posted online, not just once, several times. And I had my property damaged. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe it's a coincidence. But when you come after people
physically, that's not right. When we vilify individuals and call them out by name for having an opinion and for standing up for what they believe in and what they believe is right and encourage
others. That's not right. Coincidence maybe. And you can hate me all you want. I I ran for this seat. That's fine. But I won't stand
for you physically coming after anybody, student, staff, or board member or community member. And when you put my family in danger,
>> you all are my family. This district, these kids, these 21,000 kids, they're my kids. They're our kids. Don't put us in danger. [snorts] So, I'm calling on our district, on our community to stand up for one another,
to stand together, stand united, and work together. We can disagree again because we will, but we're not enemies. Not up here, not in this boardroom, not outside these walls.
So, I'm just asking us, let's choose love, let's choose respect, let's choose dignity, and let's choose unity for one another. That's all I'm asking. I know it seems
like a lot, but let's do that together, board, and let's lead by example cuz everyone's watching watching us. So, I get off my soap box, but I just wanted to say that and I wanted to say
that I love this district and I love these kids. and >> I love this community and I choose to be here. This is always going to be home. Let's work together and have a fabulous, fantastic 2026, 2027 where all are
welcome regardless of your status, your immigration status, your racial ethnic backgrounds, your socioeconomic background, your sexual orientation, where you come from, where you live.
You're [snorts] welcome here and you will be safe. We will do everything we can to keep you safe. With that, I'll open up to the rest of the board for any comments. >> Dr. Stubblefield, will there be someone taking breakfast and lunch application
on that open house? That would be a good way if you can get them to fill it out. >> So, do that. um we will see um how we can navigate it. We've done it in the past. We just need to make sure we have the um connections to the computers and
those sorts of things, but we will normally we do have like an enrollment section and that sort of thing. So, it will be there um and we'll communicate that out as well. >> Yep. >> Thank you. I appreciate um everything that you
said, President Lopez, and I wanted to say congratulations to you as president and Wanda as vice president, having joined the board in January. Uh you were elected leaders when I first came in and I do think that um to extend that leadership is rightfully so. So, I do
appreciate your guidance um so far in your continued leadership is appreciated. And um I was thinking about what you said and I got to go to the Alvin Ay recital. Dr. Wyn and I were there and it's a perfect example of the community
coming together to rally for our students and that's what we want to see all across our community, all across the district. We want to see us come together across age, across color, across economic status. The gym was
filled just to come and support our students and say, "You guys, this six-w weekek program, you shine. You did it. You choed out." And they really did. They shared poetry. They're shared their dance that they learned from tap to ballet to all that. And our students
really, really did excellent job just in a six week span of time. Um, and but it was encouraging to see that the stands were filled with all of us cheering them on. And then for our um return of our principles and administrators, we say we
see you. We thank you. We're glad that you're back. For those returning and we're excited for our new administrators and we know that they're laying the foundation for a successful 26 27 school year and that they're not only laying the foundation for the hard work they
have to do, but for hope in our district. I'll just add one thing and um while while grieving some the loss of someone is never exciting, I just feel like we should always celebrate that what they have brought here to this
district. And so Tony and I I cannot remember his last name. I tried to >> Thank you. Tony Williams um he was a coach, a father, a uncle, a dad, a family member, all those things. And so he passed away on Sunday and I feel like we just needed to call his name out. He
worked at W dot high school and was very active in our community and with our students and so um you noticed a lot of people grieving. They were hit. He was coach like pound hashtag coach was a was a big thing for his name. So thank you for his last name.
>> And I also want I forgot to mention Rakkesha Portley. Yes. Lost her mom who's an employee of the district who graduated from W dot high school 74. We were friends from kindergarten to 12th grade and a decent she was a former
teacher as well. Yes. >> But she was forced to quit because someone harassed her to a point that it was ridiculous. So she ended up working for the government. I don't know when her services will be. But I think she's in need of a a thought, a prayer,
whatever you do. >> Yes. >> To encourage her. >> And Rakkesha still works for our district. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Our thoughts go out to her. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> I just want to say I too appreciate your
words, Mr. Lopez. I've been on the receiving end of several things. And so, um, to your point, we're all here because we want we want to be here. We volunteer to be here. And so, um, continuously I I get a lot of the same
stuff. Um, so I appreciated your comments tonight. [snorts] >> Thank you. Okay, we have a brief um update. Uh board, if you recall, we did um have we do have a board um budget subcommittee um that's been meeting over the last few
weeks since the last board meeting. Uh Dr. Wyn is chairing that committee and she's brought forward uh brought to us a brief update. Um there's still more to more work to be done, but Dr. Wyn, if you would like to share an update. Thank you. >> But of course, I had to get my welcome
in everybody, so I waited till now. Um, back to school is always a stressful time uh because I'm still teaching at the at the college and so, you know, it's it's it's a tough time. So, everybody has to
um figure it out. I mean, we've been doing it forever, but then it seems like when that August comes, it's just all over again, like new all over again. Um, but we welcome everyone back and know that we're going to do it. We're going to do it. Okay. um this preliminary
report on the August uh 3D meeting, we'll have a u written report with minutes and uh we met three times. But what I want you to pay attention to July 13th, you have an email forwarded from
Ms. um Downing from Ms. Robinson that has um the start of the files that we've been going through. And so um at some time I would hope before August 3rd you
go back to through your emails and help if I don't say it right. But if you download it first then do you have to download it first? Yes. I thought so. And at the bottom, um, you have the ability to dive into each of these
files. It's not hard. Trust us, it's not hard. Um, summary of of travel, summary of um, meals. Um, we've only done that those two those two so far. Thus far. So
that that's the the preliminary um request the report essentially we have been operating we had we've had three meetings we've been operating with uh four guiding principles one trust that
we trust our our staff um is responsible with with spending um accountability that we know we have to be accountable to ourselves our district our community. Um, transparency.
There hasn't always been transparency because many of these numbers, these files we've never seen. And so we are um asking questions, asking for clarity. And and the fourth, we we know that
trust must be verified. And so on our part is to go through see where you know realize that these are expenses that are made. This is 25 but moving forward and moving forward before the start of
school we will bring policy suggestions that we've discussed. We hope you would support that as a result of our um retreat. This is an economic social, excuse me, an economic uh subcommittee.
We are looking at economic policies um that hopefully will guide our staff um better into the manner that they
understand expenses. I'm I'm treading lightly. Um but that we are looking for guidelines. We are looking for guard rails. We are looking for clarity so that um eligible expenses are eligible
expenses. We're looking at making um changes to the um professional development leave form. We're looking at um policy changes of course for travel and mileage reimbursement. We do need to
ask um Dr. Phil some for some clarity on what is the understanding of meals uh at schools that seem to bypass the $40 per person. We need to ask for
some clarification. I think in your um uh weekend um report you said you there's a committee talking about AI or something like that. So, you don't have to respond now, but but we all need, you know, we'll work we will we have yet to
deal with um actually meals mile reimbursement technology and and and I'm using technology as a cell phone. So, we have a lot of work to do before that August 25th meeting that we will have policy
recommendations to you and um that's that's the direction we've been going. We've taken a deep dive. You have I've asked Ms. Robinson to send the board every file that we we examine so you have the same information we do.
And that's the preliminary overview. >> Thank you, Dr. W. that's helpful. Uh more information to come August 3rd board um there will be a board meeting uh for to discuss the budget further. So hopefully that's that should be on your calendar. Um please make make a note to be here will be in person um with a
virtual option if you need to join virtually. There are a couple of other requests for meetings. Um Don or Dr. Stubblefield will verify and make sure um those meetings are on your calendar if they are necessary. Um, so
please be on the lookout in your email. Um, or if the if if one of them calls you to try to schedule a meeting if you're available, uh, we would we I believe we need to try to get at least one meeting in so in the next couple of weeks. So other than that, I think appreciate everybody what you're doing.
So we will continue with our agenda. Next would entertain a motion to recess to executive session for pre for a preliminary discussion on the acquisition of real property in order to protect the privacy interests of the parties involved under the Kansas Open Meetings Act for 10 minutes starting at
