uh and that will be their last day will be that Thursday before graduation. So, we had to make two different adjustments uh towards our calendar in doing that. As we've already adopted our calendar for next year, we still have our 1,160 hours uh built in and uh we're going to be able to prepare for that. But just know that when uh you have questions or communications around uh how many days do we have to make up, it's not days, it's based on the amount of hours. And so if our calculations are correct, which we're always continuing to audit them, and we just never know because each day and each month turns into a new calculation, um we're probably one to two hours short um potentially. We um in making that up. Plus, we get 13 hours forgiven because we will be attending school on marked inclement weather days.

And at some point, if we do do that, the funding has to come from somewhere. And where where are we anticipating that money comes from? We probably have to come back in next session with once we do the analysis to tell you what that number might be. So, general fund monies would have to go that has to get cut from someplace. Yeah. And then if the if you like you're saying if the um the federal government reduces the reimbursement or eliminates it's going to put us in a whole different you know problem right. So we're we're looking at all the numbers right now in fact because I know you know talk about universal free school lunches but the cost I mean if we don't print money like the federal government so somebody's program going to get caught. Agree. Okay. Thank you. So Dean, when was the last time that the um cost of lunches was raised?

And what that does is that's an aotment from the state that you can mark uh up between two and five days in your calendar when you are in session. And if you are in session on those days, then you will get double the minutes. So instead of just getting 405, we would get 810 minutes, which allows us to go from being 13 hours 13 and 1/2 hours short to only being about an hour to an hour and a half short of what our 1116 is. So, by going to school on April 21st, we're going to ensure that we're well above our 1,116 hours so that we do not fall into a trap of not being accredited for next year. So, just like everything, we just want to be one degree more. And so, part of that is going to school on April 21st gives us an opportunity to be one degree more, have an opportunity to be in session for one day.

Breakfast or lunches was increased? We tried to go to the board um earlier this year uh with a staggered increase because I think the statute says we have to pay a minimum of 50% of the cost of the meal. So we staggered it over a fiveyear period to get us to that 50% number. Um, but the governor's office intervened and said that that they didn't want to do the increase in the food meals and he was going to send a governor's message down to cover the cost at least for this year. So, we never increased the the price of the school meals, but the board never approved it. Is he sending it down this year? I believe so. Well, my understanding was that um at the board of ed meeting that the DOE asked for an increase up to $450, $4.50. Is that correct? Yeah, we did it over, like I said, a 5year period.

And sometimes one thing that is lost is that when we don't have school on those snow days, our some of our classified staff that are hourly employees don't get paid uh for those days. And so this gives us an opportunity uh to provide them with one more day of work to be able to get uh paid um to help uh supplement some of the income that they missed from those snow days. So as always, I'm always will well well uh will willing and welcoming uh to anybody that wants to come visit. uh you can hit me up by calling the office and scheduling a time to meet or shoot me an email or hit me up on Twitter and we'll be able to communicate and answer any of your questions. If not, look forward to finishing this last quarter strong and having some exciting into the year to celebrate what a great year it is being one degree more.

It was staggered over five years to get to that 50% number. And what was the response from the board of education? I think we had I don't think they took action because I think the governor's office had intervened at that point. The bunch is at 250, right? The Yeah. 250 or 275. 250. Yeah. For up to grade 275. So, so is the intention of the board not to take any action because I would assume that at some point you got to raise it something. You can't just keep it the same forever. Well, I I think this year is taking care from the governor's message. Um if if the law stays the same, then the board will have to take action again. But if you don't start now, like even if it's a quarter increase, you got to start something, right? But the board thinks they can just kick the can down the road and not not good because over time you want it to be you want it to be very incremental over time.
⚗ AI-reconstructed · cite from original above
Correct. So if you take no action now you're just kind of saying I think there's legislation to try and reduce that 50% down to something another percentage like 25% or something. So that's a bill that I think was moving this session. No, we we passed that bill, but but still I would think the board should be a little bit more proactive of or or at least what are you guys proposing something? Well, if the bill takes effect, then you know there's no chance of of getting a governor's message next year. We're going to have to go back to the board, make sure we're hitting that whatever that percentage is because maybe over five year instead of five years, it's over 10 years and you just, you know, quarter every year or something. Well, I think if it goes down to 25%, I think that's kind of where we are right now, what we're charging right now.
⚗ AI-reconstructed · cite from original above
Okay. Then you're just going to depend on coming back then and increasing your Well, if the percentage gets reduced from 50 to 25, we're charging the 25% right now. In fact, we might be above it a little bit. But it's not going to probably stay that for long. I would assume costs are going to increase. So, shouldn't be I would hope that you're going to be more proactive than reactive. When was the uh last time the school lunches were uh increased? I think it was like before the pandemic. I think it's the exact year. I I don't recall off hand and do you know the percent of students receiving free or reduced lunch? free and red the the the problem with getting the the numbers is the we have different numbers for breakfast. There's two different breakfast and then the three um so we don't know the number but I can give you the percentage of 104 104,000 meals we serve a day about 45% is free and about 8% is reduced 104,000 million per day.

Correct. How many students in our schools? About 155,000. And currently, does the federal reimbursement um cover all of the free and reduced ones? They cover. Yeah. Mo the majority of it. It's not 100% that they cover. You don't know the percentage? Uh, not our fan, but I can get that. Yes, please. Okay. And what asurances do you have or do you have any assurance that this reimbursement from the feds will continue? Um, I don't want to speculate, but uh we're hoping that it stays in place. So far, they haven't uh done anything to USDA except some of the grants. But the meal reimbursement hasn't been brought up for for any changes as far as we know. But is it addressed every year at the federal level or you know do you have to go back every so many years to request the reimbursement or it's automatically given?
⚗ AI-reconstructed · cite from original above
It's usually automatic. Um, right now USD is looking at they they send a team down to analyze our cost and our process to see if we can increase the reimbursement amount from the federal government. And when will that It's ongoing right now. I'm not sure when their final report is going to come out because I think Alaska has a higher reimbursement than we do and we're trying to get out up close to what Alaska gets. Thank you members. Further questions? Okay. There's no further questions. Members, let's call for the vote. Recommendation would be to pass as as is. Yeah. Okay. Recommendation to pass STR 134 and SR 113 uh un amended.

e e e all right uh good evening a governing board advisory committee to review policies um this is a call to the order um and welcome everybody for being here and um a motion to approve the agenda can I get a second please a second a second uh all those in favor say I I motion passes moving on next agenda item is a call to the audience we have anything for the call to the audience okay there's nothing for the call to the audience and then the next agenda item is discussion on the policies and the last meeting on March 17th we covered um we had an update on the AP meeting from Miss abadaka about um um parent concerns reporting child abuse G jld DB Etc and uh we talked very briefly about the policy safe and inclusive schools um the part of our work is to kind of go over that uh because that's one of the policies that's in the agenda as well uh we edited jic and um uh the U next steps was Adriana was going to go and edit uh details in jic for the next meeting and then jicg is possible for uh next thing up on the agenda item so anybody want to start with anything in particular that is on their [Music] mind no Okie doie um so I guess we can we want to move into uh the safe and inclusive schools policy first or where do we want to start I don't know anything about the safe and inclusive so if Katie's coming I'd rather I'd rather wait till she came just so that she can explain it to all of us if that's okay yeah no that's um and then full transparency did not get anywhere on that paragraph So I'm we'll have to do that one when we get back but if we wanted to go down to like the second half like the medical marijuana portion on jic okay because that's the only part that's left um so the first part feels grammatically weird this is the one that's jic HR or just jic J is where we were at um refuse to enroll a student otherwise got it so we could just like make it like a positive statement instead of a negative so I'm going to take it and you're looking at the medical marijuana yeah it looks like the rest of these com are K anyway are you talking about the reasonable belief one no I'm still at the first paragraph I'm just trying to change it oh so good student that is a medical maronic card holder May enroll in school unless okay I just replied to her because it it's kind I think she's come saying that double negative is weird like we won't refuse you right which means we will just let you so I just changed it like that does that work for everybody student that is a medical marijuana card holder May enroll in school unless enrollment would cause the school to lose a monetary or licensing benefit under federal law or regulation yeah I feel like that's cleaner okay I'm GNA okay now I can't get it to my next comment is from KD too student medical marijuana card holders subject to without bias the same code of conduct and disciplinary standards applicable to all district students I feel like the differences is like this is like listen we're not going to like be angry with your kid for the dress code anymore than we would another kid we're up here it's like and also don't let them do marijuana on campus right right so I feel like um a what if we used a student medical marijuana card holder a subject without bias the same code of conduct and disciplinary standards applicable to all students and then we just put like a clause including um not possessing or engaging like basically bringing this down oops like that so then you would get rid of this but it was like all of the rules and that includes not is that what she means by redundant like it's it's redundant from the previous paragraph that's what I'm guessing I can leave it I thought you meant it was redundant like with paragraph and I was trying to figure out what what she was referring to in like it like repeated itself in the same yeah yeah not sure do you have a preference I think sound okay so we'll just leave it to her and make sure that's actually what she meant um I don't know why we crossed out under the influence so this might just have to wait till Jay ends um Katie get here because um how we at mon Vista have been doing reasonable belief and how we did it with excellencia is like if like witnesses can like link them we found them with it and then the way that we like kind of like back our understanding is we do a vitals check and like it's not really like a drug test or anything but it's like if their heart rate is elevated or we've had like kids pupils we more dilated then we would do that so um this is more of like added curiosity not necessarily we have to add but like what are we saying is reasonable belief like do we have Clarity amongst all of us is that the is that where this would be defined I feel like this could be like one of those things that you define someplace somewhere else is there a regulation for this one too uh for GIC I believe so I mean maybe it could go in the regulation like that's part of the process of identifying reasonable belief hello um so that would be my that was my only wonder is like do we want that in here and or is that what everybody's doing because I'm not actually sure what people are saying I'm used to hello I'm used to the phrase Reasonable Suspicion not belief so that kind of threw me off there but I don't know terminology yeah usually we try to triangulate um kind of a similar process we try to have like at least three pieces three uh connecting pieces like a witness the vitals check and then some other piece to corroborate the suspicion okay so you are doing a vitals check yeah but the vitals check I don't know about your experiences with the vitals check but the vitals check we've been told by our nurse is not it's not 100% no it's not but it's like you can't you she to decide how we're going to like in um jic with like the drugs thing um the reasonable belief so I was I'm I don't know if it's necessarily like a question for policy or just like a question for practice but I was saying like what are we all saying is reasonable belief and like does that need to be in here because we and then we were saying like it's usually like if the kid was seen with it like we have a witness saying that they were using it if we like found them with it um and then we always just automatically do like a vitals check um and we don't use the vitals check to be the reasonable belief yeah but it is like part of the like this is how we like make our case if a kid is gonna get suspended with these components and so yeah that's where we're at reason Bel susp pretty low standards and so I think those are all fine and the only thing that would come into play is is um for like if you have no none of that evidence and you're just saying you think somebody is on of something then you would just need to be able to articulate what things made you believe that person okay other than I mean vitals is one thing but you don't know what the baselines are for that and we aren healthare workers so like yeah it would be more like you know that would be consistent with whatever grug also it has to be like um specific to something right so you couldn't just say I guess you could say even if it's anything but I don't know it's hard um it's equally hard to investigate too yeah those are toughest cases because you don't you haven't seen anything you just think yeah okay use that information but then also if you're suspending them you know what I mean like I mean usually we are not suspending based on the vitals check it's usually like a the parents are like we've had a couple of kids who they like um they ate a gummy and it C it caused them to really have like what I think was probably an anxiety attack but they had a medical reaction to it so like that was what we used for it yeah or like things like that like um okay that was more of just a question there's really not anything we need to edit for this and I don't know why we crossed out under the influence U oh maybe we crossed it out because you can't quite prove that they are you can't prove that they're necessarily Under the Influence isn't that connected to the reasonable yeah yeah I don't know why we Ross it out either I feel like the way it's worded it should be there is it because it's talking about informing law enforcements would we only inform if they're possessing or Distributing like try to figure that very last very last page page three is what is what we're trying to figure out I said don't remember yeah student may be under the in of distrib okay so the Arizona medical marijuana act you know says they can't use or possess on school campuses maybe I cross it out because is there anything if you like let's you did it in the morning and then you appes here under the influence yeah arij if you're like an aid smoker and they p p your blood you're GNA have tons of THC in your system does that mean you're um so maybe that's I just don't remember I don't even remember us having a conversation about this I don't either I don't either we've never looked at this before so maybe there's just a random strike through I I'd assume it was a random strike through maybe somebody went strike through strike through crazy that's the only I can think of is that it' be pretty much impossible to determine or maybe it was because we couldn't we wouldn't be able to determine like you were under the influence then that wouldn't be a time that we would call the police but if you were in possession or Distributing so I I think I think it's actually okay to take it out under the influence personally yeah let me just sorry the only time is like right at four o' so work life balance it's not happening I'm just being real I do have coworkers are up at 4M looking out and just like one of them has three kids and I'm just like I don't's maybe when my kids are older I don't and they getting themselves to school but now I'm still like we're instructions every two seconds okay so if we cross out under the influence shouldn't isn't that cross out that whole first part because otherwise it just says if District officials have a reasonable belief a student may be oh in possession of Distributing medical marijuana okay maybe we crossed it out because we um that we were just focusing specifically on possession and distribution say under 13 or sorry 36 2802 which is Arizona medical marijuana act limitation it says this chapter does not authorize any person to engage in and does not prevent the imposition of civil or criminal penalties for engaging in conduct a is something that doesn't matter b Is possessing or engaging the in the medical use of marijuana one on the school bus to so I'm wondering that's for possessing or engaging with the use of and then it says you know smoking marijuana and any public place or whatever so I'm assuming that because it's not kind of outlined here under the okay fair enough me too can I something on the policy yeah and that first paragraph I don't know why it's different that happened last week too did I tell you about that last oh you weren't here this is what when you go to our website right now you know how when you used to go on um board ducts from our website like public facing and you um just click through it used to have like a Craton logo you know because every school board when you go through their website or School District it has their District logo when you go on ours now from our website it shows the asba logo on the left so I wonder if they like don't have our specific District ones up or what happened to them because look it takes me to one that just has asba logo in the top left hand corner even though it says great and Elementary School on the left I just don't understand because last week there was another one we were looking at where there was an entire paragraph that was in the one that I copy and pasted from before and it wasn't on there anymore it was very confusing I don't know what happened you know at a certain point not part of it and became part of it yeah but I noticed that the date though is the same December 13 so I went and added the par that's on yeah I thought it was strange and I was like there's no way I would just like make it up and put it in there put it in there okay and so you're the boss Hilda because these are our documents they're not where he had a CA meeting before him oh they usually meet on Tuesdays [Laughter] my go which one of these is like [Music] what is ADR Oh I thought it was thought it was an acronym I didn't see the I I was like what did I miss an acronym got um well I mean according to the note and we don't have to go in this order uh but is yeah they have the the r and an e if I'm not mistaken is that place closed oh I've not been there in a while I guess that would explain it yeah time because they used to always was it on 40 no on 32nd in Indian School in that by the [ __ ] yeah I used to there a bunch of kids that I went to school work there and they would always give us pizza at C backs yep we'd always get pizza at Kennedy School too I like red devil all right so where where are we at now where we the first had we changed it Bas took out oh there it is senior man oh okay yeah that sounds join the [Music] party we did think it so we basically just com them together so like it starts you have to follow our yeah yeah that works and then this done but I almost feel it' be good to goad and go back to the safe schools and um what is it called whatever the whatever the thing that came from the governing board safe and inclusive schools maybe if we run through that is that in the drive oh I see got it so my concern was that the policy's name is safe and inclusive School environment when well it talks about immigration which seems like just from the title it's not the title I felt like should be more like focused on immigration if this is what it's limited to because it talks about U oh number one under inference of this policy imigration there's something about law oh down further sorry subsection B response to law enforcement on campus because we had just gone over this staff will direct all requests for access to information to the designated District safety officer or legal council um ESO or legal council review and request and determin compliance of District policies and leg requirements St not indepently disos information so like I get that this one read read together it's all dealing with immigration but it does the title doesn't indicate that and then when you get this subsection that like conflicts with everything just wrot about like what happen so and I would hate for somebody to have to go through all of this for something that's a non-immigration thing you know yeah that makes sense call him an attorney every time or whatever well and I took the liberty of asking our attorney yeah if it would make a difference the policy something specific to immigration yeah and she seemed to feel like that was perect okay cool so you know one of the wonderings you have is did they name it this for a specific reason because of some issue that they were she said okay okay cool yeah it does safe and inclusive I get it it does make it safer but it is like this is just like an immigration policy like let's just call it what it is so I guess I guess we're okay then with just saying you guys are okay with my concern and saying that maybe we should just change the title more I think so I and then could it do you see any other that was the other thing was there's anything else in here that I'm missing that you think would also something you're already I have to look at it again so would it fall under like student rights and responsibilities would it just be like a ji it's gonna be JB so it'll be a totally different one okay although I thought we already have a JB that's what I I would assume I don't know is a good question hey you know how it says policy JB is that going to change there's already yeah it's uh it's listed in the cross reference on the end JB educational equal educational look confusing yeah but here's what I'm wondering think it just falls under that the cross yeah it's education I mean it basically it's just like we're not going to discriminate based on anything that's all it says so I wonder is that what it says yeah it's like that it's two paragraphs it goes under there for sure chances are this is there isn't already jba yeah I think it would be that's what I was thinking yeah there isn't a just it goes JC so we should be okay and then it would make sense for it to be what's s i s e oh a lot of acronyms it's the name of the document s thanks I got you so the only other thing I'm wondering is um because it's going to be like a like going to be like three different categories now of people coming on campus like police officers for police officer business DCS and now immigration officers um so that part makes sense each of them have their own like request to interview so that would be like my only followup what would be we basically would be just telling them no ultimately like they'd come back but we would probably need to consider like would they use the same form as the op um officers would use and then just like cross reference that would be my only thing the problem with the DCS one what they were willing to work okay yeah I think if we just change the name are we deciding the name now we can might as well come back with a suggestion I guess yeah and all cre we're creative in August for sure I don't know about April yeah so what do we for what is it what's our you know our vision for having it um represent what's in the the policy itself then if we're going to change it it looks like it's an immigration but when I look at sort I was looking for what at which point scrolling down through the policy does it make sense to what it's about and it's the in furtherance of this policy District IM immigration proper so it's really everything in here has to do with immigration enforcement and student yeah you know privacy right imigration staty they call it the student safety and privacy protection policy you I couldn't even figure it out before P although that is something to take into consideration you don't want some inappropriate acronym because somebody will find it trust me my I veered off to a different thought that I'm gonna share now um would we need to go into JB and add immigration status because it does say they'll not um not a bridge or and be impaired because of race and then there does say national origin does that count for immigration status so then I'm wondering maybe this one because ultimately this is n naal origin so maybe this should be just like the protection of students outside n like use the word national origin yeah would make sense together yeah um um look can see be interactions with immigration enforcement of officials and student privacy that seems too or what about I think just like equal educational opportunities for students of differing national origin okay because I feel like that'll cover it and then everybody would need to know like we're talking about immigration because my worry is if it's just like immigration we're we're getting into that like scan through you know what I mean like this is not I know it's mostly about that but if we did something like that instead so you're trying to avoid the word immigration is that what you're saying I'm not necessarily trying to avoid it but I also feel like it's such a hot button word that this is this this isn't about like their immigration status and like our dealing with immigration people as much as like your immigration status does not matter to us as a learning institution and so if we based on the law well we could do yeah say something about like National protections or something like that I don't know I mean we could keep it basic too and just see like protecting the rights of all students well it opens would protect the rights and safety of all students and just avoid it all together I think though that goes back to what you were saying that if we end up doing that then we're because this doesn't pertain to like all students honestly I'm sorry I just saw title school choice but um anyway that is one of I'm sorry I didn't know that there is a school you can get a label of a persistently danger School sad anyway um maybe yeah maybe we can just call it national orig yeah and you said that that's included where where is national origin at so if you go to the top okay got it origin edit and stuff thank you Hela think I've heard that phrase before origin your history teacher Did You Wrong then did you dirty over in your middle school stop making comments I'm get picked on feeling trigger where does that come from persistently dangerous it's apparently from the school choice act every student succeeds how do you define persistently dangerous it is a persistently dangerous the state with a representative sample of local educational agencies must determine which schools are they do it based on there's a report EAS sa report and we we that's where there's that upflow of data why like there even though we might disagree with the language there certain specific language to what you know kid a pocket might it doesn't get put in the system pocket it has like blade of less than so many in or so all of that's tied back to ACC so all that reporting flows up so that way they can if you're a c cist so what are we calling ital protections and then we wanted to add a provision about the form but that's the full thing national origin protections policy [Music] and then [Music] and that's the person light is that um all you wanted us to look at with that policy or is there other aspects of it I think the only thing was the one concern I had and then making sure there wasn't anything that was an unknown unknown to me that you all could look at it and say as it as we as two VPS and one APS and one um in this area like what you might see if there's something I'm not aware of that could be conflicting with stuff you are to do I don't know what the forms are called if you go down I me put page numbers really quick [Music] um I think it's page two but I try to do page numbers uh yeah page two like right here I feel like this is the only thing that we would need to add is just like if determin that law enforcement should be provided access to students um Administration will require the completion of forms and then whatever the forms are I can't remember off hand what they are and then so I probably need to put j i h okay so it's already in the cross reference stuff j i h e I think there's there's actually more than one I think EA see quick Mr man what kind of uh training do we offer for staff training and awareness this Poli it's under C1 need to so what we did this year we had people visit like various meetings people this policy didn't exist but other documents that we produc distributed so this will require probably it being added to the beginning of the year I was called orientation things so they'll have to build it into that what the is called that's that one we walk into [Music] yeah okay are you on jic R CH HR is that what you were asking um I'm on the I'm still on the one that she was asking is the JB because that was in that policy formerly known as safe and inclusive School environments somebody like at comment Russell for this because I so somebody knows that it needs to be added to the vector trainings that's usually where the all right uh do we want to move on or I that's fine um we have another meeting scheduled 14th okay so yeah 14 because I think at like um maybe 6 to 6:15 we should stop and start deciding like what's going to be shared in the fabing board Council I'm sorry the community council presentation um but I feel feel like we could get JR done in like that amount of time doie you have the first comment do you want to share what you were asking I'm sorry where you have the first comment in the jic HR HR yeah so do you want to kind of share your thoughts so that we can get started [Music] I wrote that in December um I don't remember why all these procedures oh yeah so it's just a question um oh because the title says drug abuse prevention right okay I get it now yeah so the title Dr Abuse Prevention but then it's just like all about what to do the tail right so it seems kind ofl yeah mislabeled that's a good way to put that well okay I didn't see anything in there that was prevention and I'm not implying that there should be something about prevention yeah hone you w to create a comprehensive ccul for drug I think that's what I'm hearing that is not that is not what you're hearing at all James wants to bring SC that's not what I'm employing at all it can be in the costume I would be happy with calling it drug abuse consequences how about drug abuse enforcement yeah I think that makes sense um um I just was this was more again a question for like what's everybody doing um because we count sharing as Distributing but we and we very rarely can actually prove that they're selling it they're mostly sharing so I was just like wondering do we want to have something like an elevation of consequences if they're selling it I think that's what I because I put sharing versus selling so I'm guessing I wanted to see do we want to say something different involv in distribution so here's the thing under the law um you could be prosecuted equally andf okay so transfer and sell are in the same statute and you be so think we could make a distinction here at our district but they're still going to make you report it the same I'm okay with that too I just want to make sure because I think that like I'm I'm making guesses but like if you're brand new like when I hear distribution at least like when I first started I was like a drug ring like the children are meeting in the alleys but like actually it's like a real big thing but uh so I think like if we could put like distribution and trans like I feel like we should feels like less severe to me if I give you some than if I'm asking pay but it is but it is the same yeah so yeah and interesting in section one it says when it's involved in the distribution or sale of drugs as soon as so then they don't include that in number two that oh so maybe it already was made they made it into a distinction where like this was like you were selling it okay now you're just Distributing it like you that this is the this is the sharing one two is sharing and one is and shall be subject to suspension yeah that's strange I always thought that was practice that there was a delineation between I never I I I never really understood like sharing because to me sharing is your basically distri except that has the suspension exposure I always thought the difference was like you're either using possessing or Distributing and distributing was like that was the worst no we do them differently supension we we count those as separate violations so like what's the separate violation possession use and then distribution yeah no those three I understand but I never thought thought there was a a a delineation between sharing and selling I was just put it under I was just figured it was distribution that's what we put it under I just don't know if that's clear for like what we so that was my point yeah so the way that in 15843 which was pup disciplinary [Music] proceedings it says accept in as provided in subsection o this section the school district May suspend or expel a student who is enrolled in a kindergarten first second third or fourth grade program only if all of the following supplies that people is seven years of age or older and engaged in and then subsection B is involves The Possession use or sale of dangerous drugs so technically they don't have transfer in there would you sharing or transfer correct but yeah what kindergartener is seven years old I all I know is this kindergart possessing and distributing drugs jeans this that's the bigger question it is now though with the Vapes it's like they just bring what they they have at home Brave New World and then there's other things like failing to remove and create a safety threat for sus spending so and I also think the language is a little bit weird there where it says shall be subject to I get subject means but we should say may be suspended or because shall be subject because the law says that that isn't requiring you to but it's an option yeah okay so let's see is there a way we could just combine this we should just use the language possess use or sell possession use or sell right here because right up here it says it shall be the responsibility to suspected instances of The Possession a use possession or sale of drugs but then they change to distribution or sale of drugs okay so let's just turn it to sale of drugs when it is reasonably certain that a student is involved in I don't know that we need the oh because then they have possession of drug under the IND of drugs but yeah it just says sale of drugs so I don't know why use the word distribution so let's didn't transfery they share it and still calling sale um that's technically under 15843 I don't think it would fall under sale because transferring isn't on there so I think they would just fall under your possession because specifically if you go to 1334 like let's say we go to one of these that's like oh they have a typo in s interesting sorry um if you go to 13 like 341 for example um the sale as defined is an exchange for anything of value or Advantage present or perspective so you don't actually have to exchange money if there be anything locality sure um but if you look at the actual um transfer means to furnish deliver or give away so you not NE getting value of them so that's sharing but when you look at like if you look at possession of whatever for sale so ARS 13 they think well let me tell you here's what I'm trying to protect in terms of my Arenal is when a kid is smoking in the bathroom on their own they get used possession if they are if they share it with their friend they get an additional consequence that their asator friend or whoever does it get so I do want to be able I like in practice having like that additional adding comp especially parents are really upset they do get a so what I don't want to do is lose the addition for sh I don't know that me need a s or put sale transference I would just say it makes it so that we're actually being more strict from the law which I don't know was the intention of the committee would be to be more strict than what requires but um because they are defined differ you know what I mean and also so for example there's different subsections you can possess or use possess possess equipment manufacture administer obtain procure and then number seven is transport for sale import into the state aler to transport sale or import into the state comma sell comma transfer or offer to sell or transfer in prodct I know this crazy wording but that's where sell and transfer get like intertwined when things are charged under that like A7 subsection of these statutes but when you look at 15843 which is pupil disciplinary seedings proceedings definition it just says use possession or sale and not TR so um but what is the difference right now between the two punishments I guess is my question it's well it's a all kind of a window of like things know but it would often be like an additional day so like's say spend for like use everybody was together all three of us would get one day but you would get two you brought it and shared it well I don't know how you you could still do that because this isn't telling you how to determine how to Su yeah so we would just end because that punishment is available for every single one of change just put a note that's why you know but I also wonder if there's some way yeah yeah sorry and then moving on is there some way to just combine these two paragraphs in their sale it seems redundant I see the Rundy but I also feel like there's like some clarity to it in the if I'm just starting out into I like part one I got to cover what I do as person and then I also have to answer to whether or not like I think of it it's like one is here's my inhouse here out it's basically say both are options I guess I'm confused by if I read this I would think do I have to call law enforcement twice well I thought I don't know I'm seeing like once the one I'm just reasonably certain within the two I'm like I've determined that it's true and now I'm gonna suspect okay so reason but wait I I think it is weird if I'm reasonbly certain before I I've already called the police I'm reasonably certain I'm gonna give you a suspension but I'm not gonna call police yeah now I'm gonna move forward with yeah yeah that is and you don't have to call their parents when it's determin but you can suspend or expel them and call the police figure it out we're all using jeans so viewers they hang on our every word right for got more structur do Rodeo things or whatever that was the safety things you know I don't know how they do you ask about that those were like I know the trust used to it used to be the trust that ran in oh really and the it was sponsored by like Auto Safety House and some of these different groups interesting and at one time I know cuz I felt like when I was in school we did it every year they would come and park the bus on the field we would all practice jumping out the back of it oh that one oh that's different than what I thinking of um that is a good question I know we do it I'm not sure when and how yeah but I always wanted to be the person that got to be the people that helped everybody out of the bus oh yeah never got to do that do twice a year yes see there's your answer twice a year I make that we start a well you should put May because that's what the law says because it's actually not required that we suspend our exposal all right I think okay yeah 61 so like with those Matrix or matrices or whatever are you guys like for example you know it says that all of these things have to apply or whatever is that like contemplated in those matrices okay it's supposed to be I think they did a pretty good job um I thought I was under yeah 15843 oh here it is like basically you know where not only do they have to commit the offense but you have to say that they um you know what the heck is this all of these have to apply or whatever so I just made a copy of our old un concept educations I thought we use it in the starting um and I just moved it into like this working group's folder but um it still sh's person email she has access to it as like for example this before suspending or expelling the people the school district considers and if feasible while maintaining the health and safety of others in consultation with the parent regarding extent possible in place alternative behavioral disciplinary interventions that are available to the school district or Charter School they to the circumstances are not considered and are considered of health and safety because that if you go up here you know it says if you're suspending someone who's you know over this age or whatever for any one of these things then all of these things have to apply right yeah we typically like part of that Matrix is the alternate consequences like um the restored practices and there's always a restorative element even if the even if the suspension so I think we're compliant I feel like we're compliant with it based on what it says failure to so this is the one that I was interested in Failure to remove the P pupil from the building would create a safety threat that cannot otherwise reasonably be addressed or qualifies as an aggravating circumstance so is it saying then you wouldn't have to do those things I'm very the way that's worded is weird or qualifies as an aggrav as aggravating circumstances specifi in paragraph two anyway sorry I'm just talking no no not go into the main folder and the I put school year 24 25 this is the presentation so I figured both through we'll change you know we really just I feel like we can keep all of these that I'm guessing we can start with this so maybe slide is there a different Matrix for people who are fourth grade and under versus that's what it seems like for w requires no and it seems like we take it but it is taking into consideration okay through it's K8 yeah but the aps there's a certain once you hit a certain bar that suspension and stuff they fall back to the like K3 is different it's K4 K but so that's what they do so the Matrix is a K8 but it'll it denotes like when you have like when you can't use certain things for different ages yeah I was just saying the step statute is that goes through fourth grade with with regard to the they yeah it's fourth grade or there's like an age seven yeah seven yeah so I think keep the committee m one that's the same aine and then we literally just did like here's the policy thing that we did and then two to three bullets about like how that was changed so if you're looking at like you're on slide six so rights and responsibilities these are the two big things that we changed or wanted to share with Community Council and we just went through all the policies like one slide per was to change the run of the next steps and our recommendations I feel like this was do ex I I think I watched people check out when we got into the specifics last because I think it's hard in that environment for people to things I think less is more and then directing them to like a place where they can review and submit comments and when those comments need to be submitted so then what do you want to do instead of doing with each individual one we just like make these slides like thematic changes and then which which policies were impacted by that Y and then where to where to go take and how and how to provide feedback you take care of the um Community feedback form I don't remember doing it or oh actually there wasn't a survey it was it was the latest if you wanted to give comments to this committee yeah it just Tes you to the poliy oh so then your options were you Shar okay do you want to do that same thing I think that I mean it seemed work fine last somebody somebody put the document in the trash who was it wasn't me undo that's funny if you at slide everybody I feel like this is what we this be the for next week is just this is the slide and the matter change so I think that there's a lot of like report when to report this is not what and then purpose in and Chang we lower the threshold for when to meet when to inform the police so that it makes the minimum of for for no finish jic and student jicg what what else j g i c HR j k d and j for remind me of hand witness Community Council then I think for the next um we just should probably do the presentation first just like everybody knows and we're feeling good about it and then we can finish that with the rest of okay there's May 6 and then May 20th you really could go with either um it requires to read I mean they can suspend it but typically it requires two readings so if we want May 20th it could be in consent for the first June meeting which gives plenty of time for us to disseminate the information out to start a school for next year I mean the reality is by the time we're done with our work this is really for implementation for the6 school year anyway so as long as we can get everything through board approval worst case scenario before June is out but ideally early June would be better than late June so we make sure we have some time especially we're g to have some significant personal changes all right that's good thank you yeah there anything else that we need to cover before we adjourn okay um I motion to adjourn can I get a second a second all those in favor I meeting adjourned to

We discussed that at our very first meeting and we wanted to wait until our last meeting to determine if we wanted to change our wording for the consensus votes. Um, we'll discuss how all recommendations will be addressed, determine our IBN needs for next school year. We're going to list any recommendations that require calendar dates. Uh, we will then discuss board planning presentation, develop talking points for Kraton connection, and then lastly complete our evaluation. So, as you can see, we have a packed agenda for today. Our IBN process skills. The team will complete a temperature check at the close of the meeting to protect individual opinions and perspectives. The facilitator will list talking points agreed upon by team to Emily. Emily will request consensus in chat before publishing IBN summary to the Kraton community. And we're going to check on time restraints which we will do right now starting over here.
