I think the adoption K5 and of using Dibbles itself, which is such a well-known and uh researchbased program is a really good plan. Thank you for bringing this to us. I appreciate it. Absolutely.

Um I I don't know where one business starts and where another one ends. I see cars and some in disarray. Some had their hoods up. Some some are in different locations and stuff.

Absolutely. Yep. And you can administer those assessments outside of grade levels as well. So if we're concerned about a student in fourth grade, you can give them, you know, it's not like this is only a first grade assessment. You can really kind of dig into what their needs are. I like that. Yeah. Thank you very much. Are there any other questions for staff from the board? So, we are looking for a motion to approve it as well so that we can move forward. And I suspect we will get one. But first, I want to see if anybody from the audience in the public uh is excited to talk about the adoption of a reading difficulty screener. I do not see any public comments. Uh do we have a motion associated with this item? Uh yes. Uh Mr. Mr. President, I move adoption of this um amplify education uh risk screening.

So, you might you just said something about the fact that you plan on repairing the vehicles on site. Is that is that correct? Yeah. Inside. Yeah. Inside. We're going to fix it there. Cuz I'm sorry to interrupt you. No, no, no. It's okay. There is there's another business next to us, but we have nothing to do with that one. It's a little one on their right side. Well, that see that becomes somewhat of a problem because there's really no definitive line uh showing where their their property boundary is and where your property boundary is. So, if they have vehicles there and you have vehicles there, it's hard to distinguish which one is yours and which one is theirs. And if someone was to go around like myself and start counting cars, if we give you a class two license uh for 12 cars and I go down there and start counting cars and I count 28 and you're you're over the limit of cars that you have been given the opportunity to sell, you're going to get a letter of, you know, reprimand.

So, I I think what you you need to do is to make sure that there's a more of a definitive line as to where your boundaries are for your business. That that that for me would make things a little bit clearer for me. I mean, um I just we're the licensing authority. I want I want to make sure that everything's on the up and up, not only just for you, but for your clients, you know, and and for your neighbors around there and and other businesses because a lot of the other businesses are there keep their places up. you know, uh, if you go down there, it looks like, you know, the golden mile for, you know, class two, class two cars. So, um, I just want to make sure that everything's going to be, you know, neat and clean to the to that to that aspect of it because I just don't want it to start looking like, you know, uh, a chop shop.

Yeah, right there the survey design considerations and Tim and John will talk more in depth about this. Uh, but for the whole board and anybody watching to know, we look at audience appropriateness, which means tailoring questions and survey links to respondent groups. We look at the data usability, which ensures responses can inform decisions, ensuring items are clear, specific, do not lead respondents in any certain way and clear objectives. So defining the specific goals for that data collection. All right, handing it to you too.

Uh multiple choice you see there on the left is obviously much quicker. um gives you um easy easy data to run any statistics you want on it. Um open-ended uh is um takes longer. So um every each uh survey you're going to see tonight has one open-ended question um including for students. And so that will be, you know, a place for people to let their let their feelings um explain their feelings. So the target respondent groups uh we have students, teachers, and parent guardians.

So, 3rd through 5th is our elementary grade span, 6th through 8 is our junior high grade span, and then 9 through 12 um is our high school. Um the reality is is that the um as as the drafts stand right now, there's very little difference between the junior high and the high school. But um I think it's important that we have both those drafts should we want to um change one and not the other. So the spirit of these questions, I'm not going to read every question. Um the spirit of these questions is to get an idea of how much time um students use the Chromebook um at at home especially um but also at school. The um we're very specific with all three of these groups. You know, how much time do you use your Chromebook at home for school work? How much time do you use your Chromebook at home for other uses?

Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you. Any other questions, comments, or concerns? I would like to see that work done before we issue the license unless we make that contingent upon issuing a license that that work get done within within a specific time frame. So, the painting of the lines. You'd like to see I would like to see that. I'd like to see the painting of the lines done based on the map that they gave us correct before the license is issued. Okay. So that way we have a better understanding of where your vehicle you know what what vehicles are who um and and if you if you don't have any intentions of you know blocking the back area uh from from the road from the road line of sight u then that that's your decision to make but most cases they usually block up those vehicles if they're going to be if they're going to be there for a while.
