Part: 1

1
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:52.079
We've kind of gone past an internal timeline that we kind of had on when we might have to make some decisions. We have notified that staff and that community that we will be pushing school back by a week and and we're going to delay the start. We're not building

2
00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:08.960
extra days in. We're not saying you got to come back at the end of the year. We're going to see how we go through the year and then if need extra time need be, you know, needs to be added, then we'll adjust it accordingly just like we do during normal winters where we have a lot of snow days. Um, we believe the

3
00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:23.920
week is going to be enough based on information I've received from our local authorities and from the the the fire command. Um, they're very hopeful that some progress is going to continue to be made over the next couple days. And so, right now, our our timeline is just a

4
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:39.280
week late. We've said, hey, we've got to be flexible. Just like with the fire, um, it changes rapidly, things change rapidly, and so we need to be flexible. And so, we did say we would notify them if something changes. What I could tell you is we won't we won't go back to say, "Hey, now we're going to go back to

5
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:54.320
normal time because everybody's going home tomorrow." If that would be the case, we have made the commitment to start school a weekly and that's how we're planning and progressing. The the change would only be necessary if this evacuation continues to stretch on into

6
00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:08.959
next week and then we have to make those adjustments. At that point in time, we would have to potentially look at, okay, how do we now look at making up some of these hours and what does that look like? So, just information on that for everyone. That's that's where we're at.

7
00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:25.200
So, um again, we're very hopeful that that this starts to come to um we we we know the fire is going to be burning a little while longer, but I think the efforts are being made to get people back home. Um lastly, a few meetings uh

8
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:41.599
ago, you did adopt the strategic plan, and so we will be starting to roll out a few things in regards to that. Uh one thing that we are still working on and I wanted to just give you an update is internally we are creating some key performance indicators. So for each one

9
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:56.400
of our each one of our pillars, each one of our goals, we will have certain indicators specific to different departments and specific to each area of the strategic plan. Once we identify those, we will then come back and we will present those to you guys so that

10
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:14.319
you can see and know how we as a as a district and an admin group and are going to measure the success of that. And then at again, we'll we'll help you guys build on some of those goals we just talked about not too long ago in our work session with CASBY about how do

11
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:29.440
we map those together. So, just that's kind of where we're at now. We we were hoping to have that done by now, but obviously the the fire kind of took uh some precedence away from some of those things and just it's a busy time of year. So really we're concentrating on

12
00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:46.480
making sure we're addressing key things while still working and keeping that in the forefront as well. So that's um all I have. We're uh excited that we're getting uh closer to uh welcoming uh people back again. We are very uh uh

13
00:03:46.480 --> 00:04:02.480
still thinking about those mountain communities and uh we're going to do our best to make sure that we support them through this entire thing because it's it's not going away. And so, but uh summer is uh getting closer to coming to an end for uh staff and then students.

14
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:19.120
So, we're excited to welcome some people back in the next couple weeks. >> All right. Thank you. >> That's it. >> AJ, >> man, that was a lot of information. >> [laughter] >> Um, I'll kind of echo that. I'm thankful

15
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:34.400
that this fire is calming down and getting under control. And I'm thankful that all of our buildings are still standing. And uh I think that's a a huge a huge thing that impacts the community for sure. And so the fact that we don't

16
00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:50.479
have to replace any schools or do any major damage control with those has been a a huge blessing. So, I don't really have anything except for, you know, thank you for everyone who has been involved with fighting the fires and updating the fire

17
00:04:50.479 --> 00:05:07.759
stuff and keeping us informed as well because we do appreciate that. So, >> all right. Thanks. I'd like to welcome Bob. I think this is your first meeting as official interim superintendent, huh? So, yeah, welcome. Glad you're here. Um,

18
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:24.080
I too would just echo concern for our community. I'm um like many been evacuated now for 22 days. Are you evacuated, Adrian? >> Uh, yes. >> But back home. Yeah, that's what I

19
00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:40.400
thought. That's good. So yeah, it's a trying time for our community, but it's been very um it's very heartening to see how the community has come together and supporting each other and uh just the care and concerns. So I know that we

20
00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:57.240
have at least one staff member, right, Bob, that's lost a home. >> Uh we've identified three staff. >> Three. Okay. And we don't probably know about students yet >> right now. We believe Identify

21
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:20.960
10 families >> 11 or 12 kids at the time. >> That's that's based on a list that we we were >> That is based on this we we received

22
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:37.280
>> I just checked to make sure mine was [laughter] up. Come on. >> Come on. >> All right. It's on Sunday. Um, the sheriff's department did provide us a list of addresses and information and so we were able to take that list, run that

23
00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:52.960
through our system. Mr. did a great job of going through the system and creating a list. We then took that list. Ba Ba has done a great job. That staff has been tremendous. They have contacted. I mean, I think they were making phone calls to every single family. They list.

24
00:06:52.960 --> 00:07:09.120
We correspond our list with them. It matched up very well. Um the the Ry list the other side took us a little while longer to get. We're still filtering through a little bit of that, but based on information that we have from that and and what the principles reported, um

25
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:29.680
we have a couple families in that area as well, but as right now, no staff in that area from what I staff from other schools who live in those are so specific and connection with

26
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:48.240
obviously continue to support them. Miss Russ will be talking about our next meeting for emergency, but we're already on that for emergency relief and we've already kind of planned on how other districts have handled this with providing some emergency for those

27
00:07:48.240 --> 00:08:05.919
who need it. So, we'll be working on that and have been working Good. Yes. >> Uh, do we have a like a district-wide support as far as that people can donate [snorts] or help support those families?

28
00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:22.639
>> Um, during during the fire, uh, when it was really going on, the community or the emergency operations was really trying to filter all donations through either like the United Way or the Red Cross or through the disaster assistance center. Um, so we we have been directing

29
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:39.440
families towards that. Now we're transitioning and schools are kind of collecting. We've had community members offer to donate money, donate things. And so now we've kind of turned some of that over to the local schools, okay, >> to coordinate if they have people reaching out. Mr. Sodnik and his crew

30
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:55.360
have uh a lot of supplies and we've made it known that we will take care of whatever, okay, >> we need to for a family and we'll work with transportation. and we'll work with anything that we need to do for displaced families that are may not be able to go back to their home because

31
00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:13.040
they were lost in the fire. And so, yeah, we have we have that all in place and we'll continue to work with the schools and principles to ensure that again if we have to wave an athletic fee if we have it's no different than what we would try to do with any family that's in in need. So, we we do and

32
00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:28.160
people are stepping up and continue offering. So, um, >> that's why I was curious if people wanted to help. Where do they go? >> If it's kind of specific to a school, they can contact that principal. If they want something really big, they can we can you could direct them to me or Miss

33
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:44.959
Bonfilio has also been kind of leading that. Mr. Bumgardner is not here today. He he's he can help with some of that stuff. If somebody says, "Hey, I want to I want to give this so that you can buy these types of things." And we would do it at a district level. Yes. So there's it it's it's very fluid depending on

34
00:09:44.959 --> 00:10:03.760
what people are wanting to do. >> Well, thank you. That was um really all that I had. >> Okay, >> Dr. Emry. >> Well, uh I'm going to change the subject uh and start with a little story. 42

35
00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:19.440
years ago, I came to this building to be interviewed and I had a hard time finding the building. I remember they said it it was near the milk barn. So, I was looking for a milk barn. Well, anyway, the first

36
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:35.120
person I met in this school district was the guy that interviewed me. His name is John Clamp and he is a very well-known teacher, head football coach, and associate superintendent here in

37
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:52.399
district 70. And he recently died. And he was always my number one fan as a band director at County High School. He was always so proud that he hired me and uh I will miss him. I I

38
00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:08.959
used to see him walking by my house down County Farm Road with his dogs every day. And he he uh if you were driving by, you'd wave and he he'd do this and uh so it really surprised me to see

39
00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:28.880
that he had died and I will miss him a lot. Um I wrote a couple things down. Uh first of all, I want to say thank you um admin team for your efforts um these

40
00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:45.279
past three weeks. I am grateful for the communication and all the outreach to the community and um it sounds like it's going to be ongoing and I'm very grateful for that. I would ask that some of the process be posted in places

41
00:11:45.279 --> 00:12:02.640
for um whether it be on school websites or something so that people kind of know what to do and how to help kids like you know like you mentioned maybe school supplies and that sort of thing. But I am just really impressed and really grateful for all the communication. I know it's such a hardship and I really you know I know we're all thinking of

42
00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:19.519
the families and that have lost so much. Um, so thank you again for being there every day and um at headquarters for all of those long, you know, I mean the the evening meetings, the morning meetings. I know that you were there. So, thank

43
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:38.240
you very much. I also wanted to um say that I do follow social media and I think it is a great way to to reach the larger community and I was really impressed last week. I thought that the principal's retreat looked great and it

44
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:55.760
looked like a great kickoff to this next school year. We're just a couple weeks away and it's really exciting to be excited to go back to school. So, I was impressed. I think they got to go to the new um Da Vinci Museum downtown and I've

45
00:12:55.760 --> 00:13:11.839
only heard great things. So, it's really nice to see those things happening and I know you're wearing a lot of like you're doing a a lot of different things all of you and thank you managing schools and um

46
00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:28.959
hardship and also preparing um our leaders to go back and um get the buildings ready. So, that's what I had to share and um thank you. Thank you.

47
00:13:28.959 --> 00:14:01.839
Item four- relations of federal immigration official. >> You want mine? >> This is [clears throat] a polic back I think it was in um maybe early June. We just touched on this very

48
00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:18.320
brief. You guys had a chance to have it and I did explain that we would be bringing it back when we got closer to the start of the school year. So, um this this is a a new policy is specific to recent law and I recent go back to

49
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:35.440
last session that does um require school districts to adopt a polic uh that has these requirements in it. It's basically the turn my mic on the you know how uh we have uh relations

50
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:52.320
with federal immigration officers and it has a little bit more than that. I I will try to to go through it as as best I can since you guys might not be able to see it and I don't know how well um you member can read through it. But um the the couple things one districts uh

51
00:14:52.320 --> 00:15:09.360
now cannot collect and keep uh birth certificates or any records that um have like a a student's immigration status, citizenship or where they were born or or come from. We we can collect documents and and you and and look at them and verify and we've created a

52
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:25.199
system to where we have that like here's a way for you to verify age here's a way for you to verify name those types of things and they have a form the secretaries registars those individuals have a form they fill out they check and then that gets stored for uh the file and it just says I verified this child's

53
00:15:25.199 --> 00:15:40.800
date of birth and this by a birth certificate check or a baptismal record or hospital record or something of that a court order. There's a lot of different ways that you can do that, but we don't keep those records anymore. So, they they're not uploaded into the

54
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:57.279
system anymore. Um, but that again, that's just one of the pieces to this. Um, then it just reiterates the basic like confidentiality. So the second section talks about um student records and who can access student records and they can't be shared without parents

55
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:13.920
written percent based or written consent based on furpa um and who can access those records and then it just references our policies which we have those policies in place JR CB-R J and JRC-R those talk about student records and what you can share can't share and

56
00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:29.920
who could get access to those just reinforces that. Um then it just talks about like and again we have policy with this. So personal identify information collected by the district or by a third party uh through district contracts. Again they ask that to the law and a

57
00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:46.320
policy that we have. So these would be like our programs where like we use power school um the testing platforms we use all those different things that we have for that. That's that would be referring to those. So again we already have policy in place

58
00:16:46.320 --> 00:17:02.560
but this just reinforces that. Um number three um again it just talks about like uh for visitor purposes like you know who can visit the schools, what are our visitor policies, how do you know those and again we have policies already in place but it does reference those

59
00:17:02.560 --> 00:17:20.319
policies. And then this is a this is the the biggest piece in regards to this outside of the birth certificate collection is um the districts have to designate um a designated list a designated employee. Um that will be like the contact when um federal

60
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:37.360
immigration officials or other um federal agencies may be coming in and trying to get information or other stuff. And so, um, our designated person for this policy will be, uh, Chris Sabodnik, our director of student services. Uh, if Mr. Stadnik is not

61
00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:54.000
available or unavailable, uh, then it it it diverts back to me and then I will be the secondary person. And basically, it just outlines, you know, in the event we have these individuals come to the buildings, there are certain things that that we want to do. And it's one, the

62
00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:10.640
staff should notify the designated person. and the designated person then will instruct the staff on what to do. Um, if they're available to get there, they will go there and they will just go through some of the things like, okay, why are you here? Let me see your let me see your, you know, badge number. Let me see this. Do you have any quarters? What

63
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:26.000
do you have with you? Um, and then in the end, that person will then make the decision. Okay, we're going to give you access to this individual, to this this information based on what you've requested. And so that's just so that there's always onepoint person and

64
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:41.520
there's not a bunch of different people trying to figure out what do I do when this this kind of thing happens. And um biggest piece we've listed in there like our employees will not impede a federal agent if the federal agent doesn't comply with hey can you remain in the

65
00:18:41.520 --> 00:18:57.919
office while we contact our designated person. If they're not responding to those requests, we're not asking secretaries or staff members or principles to to impede on that because we don't want to put them in jeopardy of of being uh in trouble. And so there's

66
00:18:57.919 --> 00:19:13.039
just some standard document badge number, document this, and then we'll we'll address it as as appropriate. So it's just the guidelines that um have kind of been outlined in that law and what the state is wanting each district

67
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:28.720
to have. And again, it's not a you you it's if up to you or not. It's it's really by state law that we should have this policy. Um and so to date, um we've not had a to enact any of um these

68
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:43.440
pieces to to that that you know. So we we've even though we don't have this policy, we last year did implement, hey, if this happens, this is what you should do. This is what you should do and this is what you should do. again ensuring that we don't put our staff in very

69
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:59.760
difficult situations, right? Because um we we can't impede on federal officers. We can only try to ask them to cooperate with what we're asking them to do. But that's this just kind of reinforces that. Plus, it it makes to where we we're adhering to the law by adopting

70
00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:15.280
this policy. So, I know that was a lot. I don't know if you guys were able to get on or not and look, but um >> I haven't been able to. It might be the only one. Yeah. >> Um, so I have a question. Bobby, you mentioned that um the federal agents, whoever would

71
00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:31.200
be referred to Chris or possibly to you and then a decision would be made. The decision is based on the credentials or are there other the credentials of the officer? >> Yeah, I mean it it really there's some standard questions we're going to ask

72
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:46.720
like you know first give me your name, badge number, who's you know your official employer. are you with you know this or a organization agency like name phone number of supervisor do you have any paperwork what's the purpose of the visit do you have any documentation do

73
00:20:46.720 --> 00:21:02.400
you have a warrant do you have this do you have any of that and then in the end again the would have to make the decision that yeah this this looks to be very legal and we're not going to stand the way so okay we're going to give you access to this or again no like you're

74
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:18.320
not providing us enough information so we're going to not allow you and again we want Mr. Sabonic or myself uh to make those decisions and not put that on the hands of others because in the end like our our state says have a policy in

75
00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:34.799
place and have somebody that's designated to provide and give those and make those decisions and ask those questions. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So that's it's it's just >> fairly objective. I would just was I'd hate for you guys to be in a situation where you're making subjective decisions

76
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:50.080
without guidelines that could put one of you at risk. So that's the reason for the question. >> Yeah. No, I appreciate that and we talked and again if we could verify yes they are absolutely legal federal agents and they are demanding this like we'll do our best to make sure we go through

77
00:21:50.080 --> 00:22:06.000
the process but we are not like going to to impede on that. Um then we'll we'll go through what we need to do. I mean, we've we can contact our attorney and go through that legal process. Hey, what what should we do? Like this just happened, you know, what's our next

78
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:21.520
steps? What? So, we we can do a number of those different things. So, um we kind of have those guidelines. This is just simply to meet to kind of put that that we do have this policy in place and it it is something that again we have put off for this past. So we do need to

79
00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:38.640
look at adopting this and so it will be um coming for adoption at the first meeting in August. >> Okay. >> Any other questions for >> Okay. Thank you. Item 4.02 presentation of proposed revisions to

80
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:55.760
board policy JKD JKE restorative community service. >> Good evening madam president and board. Um, I'm bringing policy JKD JKE to you for discussion. Um, I'd like to add

81
00:22:55.760 --> 00:23:13.360
three words to the policy. Restorative community service is one of the uh um disciplinary interventions that we can use um to u maintain a safe learning environment. It's also a way to um

82
00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:29.360
have some greater accountability u for kids that do nonviolent things um you know graffiti and things along those lines. Um and it's it it's a way that we can um get them to uh build some

83
00:23:29.360 --> 00:23:47.360
community um and and and try to u mend the fences as it were uh in the school community. We do have uh quite a few code of code code of conduct violations that would come for this. Um we could replace a one-day suspension with one

84
00:23:47.360 --> 00:24:04.559
day of community service and we could we can take a three-day suspension and bring it to a one day or two day with community service. It's voluntary. The parents would uh be able to uh approve if they chose to if they wanted a community service option. Um this kind

85
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:20.080
of the impetus from this came actually from parents. Um they wanted their kids to clean clean floors and this and that. Well, we're probably not going to have them clean bathrooms or anything like that, but picking up trash and repairing um repairing the harm that they did. Uh

86
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:36.080
they cause a mess on the bus, we're going to have them clean buses. Um so very proportionate and acceptable activities. There's a lot of weed picking up uh or trash pickups, a lot of uh sanitation of desks and things along those lines. Um it's totally paid for by

87
00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:51.600
the EARS grant. Um so that's our expelled Mattress Student Support Services Grant that we have. I've got $7,000 to pay for it. Um and I'll we're actually hiring two social workers hopefully soon that will

88
00:24:51.600 --> 00:25:08.080
be in charge of that. Plus, um, we're able to have principles or Lori or any of my other social workers be that second person on the work crew, um, to kind of watch those kids. Those those people would be u given an extra duty

89
00:25:08.080 --> 00:25:25.440
stipen for that day, $35 an hour as as the uh, uh, negotiated agreement allows. And that's anybody can do that. But we'll have some restorative chats and u some accountability talks with them pre uh pre uh activity and post activity to

90
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:42.542
try to u you know get them some accountability and and work off some of those um mistakes they made. Does anybody have any questions? >> I do. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I'm full of questions tonight. Um so it would be you'd wait till there were

91
00:25:42.542 --> 00:25:57.440
[snorts] a certain number minimum number of students and then they >> um one >> one's playing. >> Okay. [laughter] >> So uh the way we do this right now is um so we're going to do it the exact same

92
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:12.799
way we do our restorative classes, our drug classes, our um responsive behavior classes, our vaping classes. So they'll be scheduled every two weeks. Um, so, uh, it's just a two week situation. If we have one kid, I guess we got one worker.

93
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:27.760
>> You said crew, so I thought, well, maybe we had to wait till there was >> No, no. Uh, I when we've got enough hours for 144 hours of payment. Um, and then we'll this the uh social workers will kind of be on a flex situation.

94
00:26:27.760 --> 00:26:45.440
>> And then might be on site on our campuses or >> Yeah, sometime on onsite on our campuses. I've talked to the Division of Wildlife um at the reservoir. They actually thought they could use use some help once in a while. The bus barn, both PBLO West, Rye, or all three, PBLO West,

95
00:26:45.440 --> 00:27:03.039
Rye, and the Mesa. So, I could actually have the bus barn every week if I needed it. >> Yeah, >> for that. >> That's great. So looking at um the potential work sites, you would bring students together in a like one or more,

96
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:17.520
right, >> in a specific location. So part of the responsibility of the family would be to get the student there just like they would like a Friday school or something along those lines. >> So whatever elementary school or high school we'd be working at, that's where they would bring their

97
00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:34.000
>> And it does say from third grade up, correct? Middle middle middle school middle school through >> I read maybe that was the old one. >> It may have been the old one. I think it said third grade. >> I saw something with that too. >> Yeah, third grade. So it's middle school or up. >> So I we can actually do third grade up. Um that would be a different crew. The

98
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:49.919
elementary school I'm not going to put those kids together. So we we do have that in place. Um but that's going to be a different crew. That's not going to be with the high school and middle school kids. >> Um and they they would have a little bit different um work detail. for sure.

99
00:27:49.919 --> 00:28:05.360
>> Yeah. No, that's it's not going to be as But you know, it's also one of those things that the principles can ask us like, hey, we need some help setting up for this event. Um, so maintenance can ask for setup for an event and we can absolutely do that as well. But we will

100
00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:22.080
have supervision, paid supervision to be there. >> I like it. Thank you. Any other questions? >> Okay, then you're up again on presentation of try court resolution. I think you'll like this one. This is good. This is a money saver. Um in the

101
00:28:22.080 --> 00:28:40.720
past we've had um our truency uh truency court and we've had the lawyer there every single time. Um sometimes the attorney would say something, sometimes there was nothing for the attorney to say, but um they were still charging us. So what this uh resolution does is

102
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:57.840
authorizes our ears wraparound um case managers to be the uh truency um how how did they put it? This is from this is from our attorney um what did they call them? I can't

103
00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:14.159
remember. Um just their authorized um truency um officials. So they would run the truency court. We do have the phone number of the attorney if the the judge does need the attorney that it'll be immediately answered. They they

104
00:29:14.159 --> 00:29:29.679
u block the time for us so they're available for phone calls but they're not charging us for that time. Um you know it's going to save us quite a bit of money. It's probably upwards of $7800 every um session. And sometimes it was more

105
00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:46.159
because it was, you know, when district 60 and us are together, we could be on that court for six hours and we only have four kids. So this this is a good money saver um for us. And u a lot a lot of the school districts do this, the smaller ones especially.

106
00:29:46.159 --> 00:30:01.840
>> You're right. I like it. Any questions? >> Jake, >> is that the attendance officer? Is that what you for? Okay. >> Yep. The compulsory the compulsory attendance officer. Thank you. Thanks, AJ. Well, I was it was saying delegating and so I was like I'm assuming that

107
00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:17.919
>> but let's see if I was right. >> That is correct. >> All right. Thank you. Um next item, the 4.04 presentation of the K12 desktop job description title change.

108
00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:32.559
>> Good evening, Madame President, members of the board. Um in front of you is um simply that a job description in which we'd like to just change the title. um these employees don't work just on kindergarten through 8th grade uh

109
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:50.000
desktops. They work on a number of um machines. And so we'd like to change that job description to just be computer technicians. So they could work in all of our schools and on any type of device, Chromebooks, laptops, desktops, um and do those repairs. So, um, nothing

110
00:30:50.000 --> 00:31:06.000
else in the job description is changing [clears throat] but that title to take away just the K8 desktop >> questions. Nice to me. Any questions? >> All right. Thank you. Next item 4.06, discussion of the request for proposal

111
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:21.760
process and timelines for securing legal counsel for the board of education. Mixon. >> Yeah. So, I had asked >> you skipped 4.05. Sorry. >> Did I miss one? Yeah, sorry. >> Oh, I got Stephanie on twice. Okay.

112
00:31:21.760 --> 00:31:36.640
>> Yes. Sorry. Got on twice. >> Okay. Yeah. Let's go back and grab Thank you. We'll get you Michelle. Presentation of the revisions to public criminal history records information. >> So, every three years we are audited by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations

113
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:52.960
because we do fingerprint and background check all employees. So, we do go through a a pretty extensive audit in the HR department. Um our audit was due last Wednesday and we have u one thing that we have to do which is update our policy. Um specific to the things that

114
00:31:52.960 --> 00:32:09.120
they would like um updated in this policy is that our policy cannot be generic. It has to um be very specific about agency. So throughout the policy um it may mention district or board. We have to specifically put county school

115
00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:24.480
district 70 in each of those places. Um, we also had to update our security awareness training. Um, anybody who's authorized to review background checks has to go through that training with them and pass an assessment before they

116
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:41.679
can access um any of those records. We also have to do that training annually. And then if there were to be a security event, we have to do training again. Our policy did not have those three specific things. Um we also needed to update our

117
00:32:41.679 --> 00:32:59.200
physical security um to include location and procedural controls who um who has access to those files, how they are secured, where they are secured and then um we do not collect any of those records digitally. Um so any reference

118
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:14.480
within the policy about electronic storage has to be taken out because we don't collect them in a electronic format. So, it looks like a lot of changes, but those are the four topics, and it's just many places where um any of those bullet items were listed in the

119
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:30.720
policy that have to be changed. Um once we have um a revised uh policy approved by the board, I do have to resubmit it to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations to try to get our audit cleared. >> Well, that sounds like good work if that

120
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:47.279
was the only >> Yeah. Yeah, that was that was it. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Well done. Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Okay. Now, >> yeah. So, I um have requested uh discussion to address the request for a

121
00:33:47.279 --> 00:34:05.519
proposal for legal representation for the board. Um per policy BBA board powers and responsibilities it states the governing body of the political subdivision us um

122
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:22.000
we have a responsibility to act and follow um the law and we need legal counsel to do that to make sure that we're in compliance and so I know that we're going to discuss how to do that and then the other um in the same policy

123
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:37.679
in BBA. If you go to the second page, it talks about the responsive responsibilities of the board shelby to select legal counsel and an auditor. So, um I know that we need to begin working on that. And then in policy BDG, it

124
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:54.800
talks about um the school attorney and uh legal services and it talks about um or addresses the issue of retaining an attorney for legal counsel and services in the affairs of the district specifically for us as we're making policy and guiding us. So, I

125
00:34:54.800 --> 00:35:10.880
wanted to have a discussion um or I requested a discussion and I know we're all um ready to discuss what are our next steps to begin the process of issuing an RFP or um and selecting council. So,

126
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:29.599
>> all right. Good. So, um in terms of discussing steps forward, do you have um suggestions? Well, I thought it would be important um we do have some RFP um

127
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:46.800
previous RS R RFPs issued um on behalf of our administrative team that we can look at as well as another sample to begin the process of preparing an RFP on our part or deciding how to move forward um in selecting council. So, I think we

128
00:35:46.800 --> 00:36:02.400
need to go through as a board and make sure um I've I've read those and I I thought, you know, of course, we just board governance, you know, making sure that we select a um a council that is um wellversed in board governance. So, I

129
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:18.960
think that's a big part of our RFP if that's what we're going to do or looking at the current um firm that that the district is using. However, we're going to go forward, we just need to get together, set up a work session, and begin the process of preparing an RFP,

130
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:35.839
voting on an RFP, that sort of thing. >> So, I was hoping soon, as soon as possible. >> Yeah. So, you're proposing that we um we have a work session where we would kind of hammer all of that out. What are our piece of welcome? What our process going to look like so that we can move

131
00:36:35.839 --> 00:36:52.480
forward? and and I think August 4th 4th is our next meeting and that would I mean get the ball rolling. I noticed in um the other RFPs that I looked at it usually is posted for a couple of weeks, right? So I think I mean that puts us at the end of Well,

132
00:36:52.480 --> 00:37:07.280
>> yeah. >> Week of August. >> Yeah. Yeah. So I would like to get started. I mean that's that's what I was thinking. >> That's >> So you're thinking a work session before just so I'm [clears throat] >> correct. That's what I what I would

133
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:23.280
propose. I mean, if >> are we wanting to put out another RFP or just go through the criteria that the district went through? Well, I looked at I mean I I definitely when I read the both the um

134
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:37.920
screening document that we were provided the rubric and the RFP I mean I think they're both um very clear and I think we could use them or >> yeah

135
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:55.280
I think um the RFP we put out which we attached the sample was was very specific to certain district operational things. So the the bulk of the RFP could absolutely be used. It would be the I kind of the scope of engagement that would change. I think Kimberly had

136
00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:11.440
already kind of worked on that and had did you did we end up >> I do. So the one that's listed is the draft legal RFP. You'll see there's a bunch of highlighted and whatever of how you want to change it. Um I've kind of worked on it in the past just kind of so there's things that need to be updated and changed on it, but just kind of as a

137
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:27.200
guideline of and why it's highlighted is what do you want need to put in that? These are ideas and rough whatever [clears throat] but >> and then Bob was yours the yours was the one that you guys used for the district correct >> the last one we

138
00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:42.000
>> and the evaluation so they're all three uploaded in there to look at >> I think we do have even the one previous like 21 I don't think we uploaded that so we could potentially look at what was in that one pertaining to like board

139
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:58.240
governance polic etc. So I I think it does need to be tailored to that if you're going to put out RFP specific to legal representation policy governance. I think that's that's a key um

140
00:38:58.240 --> 00:39:15.040
the one we have again more specifications. So, Kimberly, if you could find the one from 2021 and send it to us, then we could review it ahead of our next meeting and we could decide, you know, we could come with ideas about what we

141
00:39:15.040 --> 00:39:30.480
might want to change or adjust and work on putting it together at our work session. Does that sound acceptable? >> I was like, if I can have >> No, I I did find it when I was trying to do some documents. >> Okay. Yeah,

142
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:46.800
>> I think when I looked at the the most recent, it doesn't address board governance and I think that would be something we, you know, absolutely >> need to address. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, and we'll again, you have these two, but we'll send that one as well for you

143
00:39:46.800 --> 00:40:03.520
to reference. And I mean, anything else you'd like me to pull or whatever, I'm happy to. >> Yeah. So, we could I mean, I think we could look at what you've provided for us if we wanted to do our own research as well. We could do that, but just come prepared for a work session and our

144
00:40:03.520 --> 00:40:19.920
first meeting in August and make some decisions. Is that acceptable? >> I'm good with that. >> Okay. Like 4:30 like we normally do. >> Yeah. >> Is that enough time? >> Do you need earlier? >> I think that would be all right. >> The It's going to be a brief amount of

145
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:35.839
changes, >> right? We don't have to revise it much. Just we need to add >> We need to add That's fine. Is this >> I don't want to reinvent the wheel. >> Is this something that we would do a work session on and then in the in the ne in the regular meeting following that we would put a discussion and possibly

146
00:40:35.839 --> 00:40:51.599
an action or >> Sorry, I know I'm ahead of the cart. I'm just going >> I personally think we should do a discussion and I don't know if we should do an action because I think we should put all of our suggestions in a document so that when we do have an action, we've got the actual

147
00:40:51.599 --> 00:41:07.599
>> document >> thing before us. You have the actual RFP before us. because otherwise we're going to be voting an action item on >> on my thought. But I I don't know what you guys think. But I think per our

148
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:23.760
discussion today, is it possible to expedite it in some way by either talking about having an additional meeting? Because if if we go the 4th and then the 18th and we don't vote on it until the 18th and then we give two weeks that's

149
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:40.560
>> the middle of well at least and and and we have to interview or or there has to be a process in place to actually select and that put us like two months out really. >> Yeah. >> So do we want to wait that long? I think that's a long time >> to a special meeting to vote. I'm just

150
00:41:40.560 --> 00:41:56.000
I'm you guys can tell me what you think. I'm hesitant to vote on something that we don't have a final draft in our hands. >> Well, I don't think we should vote that day. I don't think we should vote on the fourth, but I think we should expedite it by either meeting. Yeah. >> Yeah, I think so.

151
00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:12.640
>> When are when are you kind of looking? The reason I'm saying I will do whatever you tell me, but just remember the following I'm closing a meeting. I'm reopening a meeting >> in the same amount of time. So, I'm just trying to [cough and clears throat] fit it in. I guess we could see we could

152
00:42:12.640 --> 00:42:27.920
what if we put it as an action item that same day because if we didn't have to change a whole lot with the discussion then we would be able to move ahead and if we go hey we don't we we're changing too much on here let's let's cancel the

153
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:44.160
action item and save it for another day. >> So just amend the agenda to remove the action item. >> Yeah. But then we at least have it if we're like hey we're all in agreement. We want to do this. Let's move forward. Then we can vote for it that day. I'm not going to take that much. >> Well, then that's >> I think it's an additional additional

154
00:42:44.160 --> 00:43:00.960
Yeah. >> then >> one additional item, >> right? >> That we can always remove if we need to. >> Yeah. If we can provide you with based on what we found from the previous ones for 21 which covered everything

155
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:18.640
we get that and we put that as a discussion item and potential action and during the work session you could make amendments and we could I don't know I'm just trying to think to make sure that it's transparent that this is the document that

156
00:43:18.640 --> 00:43:35.200
>> we you kind of have one or a few put together for you. Um, and you can say with what because you don't with the discussion or whatever what you want changed in the meeting, but like in the action you can say I want to approve

157
00:43:35.200 --> 00:43:53.520
action item blah blah blah. Um, changing this this and this or adding this this and that. You know what I mean? Within your action item >> as changed in the work session or discussion, >> right? Or if it is short, like Mark said, we may have enough time to just

158
00:43:53.520 --> 00:44:11.119
>> enter the edits, come to the regular board meeting with the completed document. I just >> True. >> Well, and we can I can create a working document. That's where we're doing it. I can be updating and making sure that

159
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:26.319
>> I I think things that you guys can think about prior to to the work session. again items for the work set to talk about is on creating finalizing the RFP but then also what's what's your process are you going to screen and then do

160
00:44:26.319 --> 00:44:42.800
interviews are you going to like that kind of thing I think wanting to know that so you could kind of establish that timeline as well um because I hear what Michelle saying I think as we learned in our cabinet training right that this is not something that we want to continue to >> yeah I think that my understanding is

161
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:59.200
that would be part of the work session that would part and parcel, but >> so if everybody's in agreement, I mean, we're not going to vote on it, but um it sounds like there's some consensus that we'll plan a work session and we'll add it as an action item and if you feel like we're just not there, we'll amend

162
00:44:59.200 --> 00:45:15.280
the agenda at the start of meeting. >> So, we'll have work session discussion and action item. >> Yes, we will. Um, >> good. >> And I think the timeline is naturally built. I mean, I think we've talked about that because if we >> if it is approved and it's posted for

163
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:31.280
two weeks, >> we have it for right. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. All right. Thank you. Next item, open forum. Um, we have some >> I do. I have one. I'm going to try to get this timer up because my computer's

164
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:53.520
not been working and I am not going to say your name right, but I'm going to try. So I have Jelina. Are you sure? [laughter] >> You'll have three minutes. The timer should start. Um I'm hoping it pops up on the screen.

165
00:45:53.520 --> 00:46:09.760
>> Okay, I'll be brief. >> Uh my name is Good evening. My name is Yalena Kraovvich and I'm a parent of two children uh that are at North Mesa Elementary and the third is starting this year. Uh I have been in contact with Dr. Wilson and

166
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:25.040
Mr. Emory uh about what I'm about to share and I'm here tonight because this is a district level issue that deserves a district level response. I want to talk about school supply procurement and I want to paint a realistic picture of what this

167
00:46:25.040 --> 00:46:41.760
system actually looks like. Every summer each family receives a supply list and is is expected to shop for item by item. There is no option to order online from a teacher curated list. Parents spend time hunting for specific items across

168
00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:58.240
stores, comparing brands, and assembling a full crate per child, then physically delivering it on the first day of school, which is already one of the most hectic days. Starting this August, that is three crates for my family. In fact, this

169
00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:14.400
August, North Mesa supply drop off is scheduled for a Thursday at 400 p.m. in the park. at a park. Uh that means parents will need to take time off work to carry crates of supplies to the park. Uh I imagine the board can picture what

170
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:30.592
it looks like. Once supplies arrive at the school, everything is pulled. And this is where the system breaks down further. As supplies are shared, there is no consistency in what what each child actually receives or uses. Some children

171
00:47:30.592 --> 00:47:47.040
[snorts] end up with more, some with less. Parents have no visibility and neither the do teachers which is the most important part. Uh mid year teachers send additional emails asking families to donate more markers because they are

172
00:47:47.040 --> 00:48:04.400
already ran out. So the system does not even sustain itself for a full school year. Here is a concrete example. For three children I purchased 52 glue sticks this year. 52. Now multiply that across every family in the school.

173
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:21.200
Nobody knows the total and nobody planned for it and nobody ordered it efficiently. This is the definition of a broken process. Teachers deserve better too. Right now they inherit whatever families happen to bring.
