>> I see I see an unmet market need right there. to get to that point, we have to manually um plan out um all the kids that are in all the different honors classes. And you think about it, we have three different honors classes in in our grade levels and and then we have two different in math, right? Three different honors classes in math and two different honors classes in language arts, right? And so that in and of itself creates scheduling challenges. And so what what we do is we first um manually come up with our plans for special education for ENL and then we go to the honors and then we go back and and then we run our schedule as much as we can through Skyward and then we'll have 500 or 600 complex. So it takes a long time. >> I've got I've got a couple.

Um, you know, because that came out of like the last contract, >> right? We were supposed to have spent some time this past year trying to find a new tool and that was not made a priority. >> Y lot going on. >> Yeah. But >> I take some responsibility and not making that happen. >> Okay. So, we'll put it on our next agenda. >> That sounds good. >> Okay. Um, was there anything else about the evaluation process? Nope. >> Okay. So, we'll revise the timeline once we know sort of where we're going with it. >> Okay, sounds good. Um, the next item on our agenda is discuss citizens participation guidelines. I know Claudia had um requested that we add this to the agenda. I don't know Claudia if you want to kick things off. Yeah. So, um it just struck me so that during our open meeting law training that we had last time before our meeting um that there was some conversation about what what's allowed during public comment, right?

It could be um something that they may be working currently on in science, but it doesn't have to be. Again, just getting kids used to the questions, the type of um the way they're worded, uh the verbiage, things like that. Um one of the things I know that we've been talking about is when they do give them, it's going to help them plan their instruction going forward. And I know some of the areas, I mean, for for anybody in in middle school, they know central idea is a big thing. And you guys can't believe this, but speaking and listening, listening skills. And that's an area that also our social studies, science, and even our world language have um are helping us as we talk about across the content areas of getting kids to be able to something as simple as maybe an ed puzzle, listening to videos, taking notes maybe, and or then answering questions.

I just wanted to uh >> identify yourself first. Uh >> Parvand Greywald, Dean of Satar. >> Thank you. >> I wanted to just highlight a few items that we really uh appreciate this type of uh approach where all these agencies come together to develop a program like this and we have been working closely with DOE and last year we launched a summer research institute. It's a program that engages high school students and undergraduate students in research with their faculty. And this year, this program will be expanded to all islands where seat has the stations. And another effort we have is a to uh we are developing a three-year accelerated undergraduate program uh that will engage all students in uh actual work and then uh all the education would be online so that the students can have access to seatar education on all the islands. Um so we actually very supportive of this.

So, the department supports really the intent of this to strengthen protections against sex-based harassment and discrimination. We want to note that we currently use existing state administrative rules and board policies to cover some of the gender uh identity protections that are absent in the 2020 Title 9 regulations. I think one of the things that we'd like to really dig into a little bit deeper on this is some of the definitions. Uh one for example is like decision maker. Um for decision maker for a student for example when we're using chapter 19 the decision maker may be a school level administrator. when we're using title 9 regulations, it could be a panel decision maker. Also, there can be some um distinctions between classified and certificated employees within the department. So, uh we're available for answer any other additional questions. Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh Yankee Overly for a UW.

>> Yes. I was just asking if Mrs. >> Yeah. I don't want to interrupt Amy though. >> Go ahead. >> Okay. Go ahead, Mr. Daniels. And and I appreciate I think it's the first time I've ever heard somebody say MTSS is more instructional whereas teameming is behavioral. And if you've told that to me in the past and I've missed it, I apologize, but that's the first time I've heard that. So, you know, you're telling us from the instructional standpoint, from the scheduling standpoint, from the class size standpoint, but remind me again behavioral. If the kids's not behaving, we can't teach them. >> Where are we going to pick up that gap? Remind me. Well, we're going to know uh number one, we're going to know who they are and we're going to know uh we're going to have relationships with their parents. We're going to understand their interests and all that, but um we're also going to understand what motivates this kid.

and it was much broader than I I expected. Although I did remember the Southboro um ruling and that some things have to if if you're going to not allow public participation or that it has it has to be very n it's a very narrow >> right and you you kind of have have to have it outlined. I was more interested in the fact that um at our last meeting we we did have some public participation and I think it was when we were talking we were doing the update on the budget on the um 40bs and there was a conversation um and I spoke a little bit about um being at a conservation commission meeting several probably months ago at this point or at least in January.

Again, the uh different skills that they have to do when they are in um in the the uh testing that we take. Shout out to Nikki Galves who you know is our department chair of rural language and MLL. She was able to uh secure along with um Miss Ferious a bilingual tutor through Title One grant funding that um will be starting next week. We're very excited. Uh all the paperwork is in and we are going to be utilizing that person. It's 15 hours a week and we're going to be utilizing that person for um instruction for some of our ML students pushin to classes. some of the areas we're noticing math is a little bit has been a little bit uh more difficult for or challenging for those students and just being able to push into those classes but then also do small group during our ELT time.

He'll be talking about um the principal's perspective. um he like he'll be talking about how cameras are currently used at schools and also how a new system can help him and other principles um at their sites as well. So to start off I just want to give a quick review of how we got to where we are um where we are and how we got there. So we currently use a system called access and milestone. So access are the cameras and milestone is a system that we use to view the cameras. We be began purching those back in 2014. So that was 12 years ago. The cameras we have the access cameras all they do is stream the video. They have they don't do anything else but stream video. And so we need to have a place to put that video. And so in our data center we have storage and servers where all that video goes and is stored in our data center at the district office.

Thank you. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else wishing to testify on this measure? Angela Melody Young cares um in strong support um of the agriculturally um um grown products and then of course jobs and internships for the students um with this program. Um so um one of my students from our church um we have a lot of farmland um in Yi and in Capo. So um we did a agricultural contest and my students won um it was from the mayor's office of sustainability and climate change for inspiring the best design for the county's first Aahu food systems plan. So, um I think growing sustainable food, um having um farm-to-table, farm-to-school strategies, um is so inspiring and a valuable lesson to teach future keis and ohas. Um and so, um you know, students when they learn about sustainable land practices, um they can be the future policy makers for the state of Hawaii and provide advice.

Uh, I am uh representing AAW Hawaii, whose mission is to advance gender equity through education and advocacy. We must, we are in strong support of SB 3024 to strengthen Hawaii state title 9 law against uh weakened protection against discrimination, gender based discrimination based on the federal title 9 roll back on regulation. Um, I did want to we uh we have submitted our testimony, but I did want to respond to some of the things that was said here. Um, I see I ran out of uh basically I want to point out that we had a TOE regulation on transgender students since 2016. I'll be happy to share that with you. I also agree with uh uh and DOE that we could update administrative rules to match if you pass this.

Um is this a will thing? Is it a skill thing? Um are there different connections we need to make? Do we need to bring in some additional people to help the teacher um respond? Is it is it counseling? Is it you know is it a dean of students is it you know this that or the other right >> and I don't want to interrupt you but we do that right >> what we do right what I'm saying is if if truly the MTSS is on instructional >> and the teaming is on behavioral who is the we is it the deans is it the counselors I mean do they have the capacity >> yeah yeah so MTSS is is both instruction and behavior okay >> so um you know you look at a triangle, right? Destruction on one side, behavior on the other. >> And so really what it is is is an intentional um kind of process that you go through to um to really look into those behaviors and figure out what's going on >> and we can support it in the new system moving away from teaming.

Hackinson was here for another reason anyways and spoke to it a little bit and then we kind of got shut down and I was just thinking based on then afterwards I was thinking well based on what we just learned in our open meeting law training that you know wasn't um that that should conversation should have been allowed to go on. So that was kind of what the impetus for me for bringing this up is that you know if we need to have more guidelines then then we can certainly look at it but um I just think based on what I learned from that that training um that we we just need to be careful about shutting people down. >> So there was a policy that was put in our packets. I don't know if you guys saw that. Yep. and is this isn't our policy.

Um even pre-eaching concepts that might be coming up to be able to help those students um is something we are very excited to to start starting next week. professional learning. We have our PLC and uh PD that we've done um already just helping our staff um along with their PLPS with their individual growth and support plans that we have for them and obviously our observations and feedback. Another shout out to Nikki um G. She has done different professional learning with specific teams that we have of teams that have a larger number of our ML students. Other staff have also been um incorporated into those areas and talking to them uh how they how these students can better access the curriculum based on where they are as a last in the last link scores and then also giving strategy and ways and the teachers are coming with a lesson plan or an assessment and they're having they're having conversations about it and and helping them to build those blocks and scaffold their instruction to be able to help out those students.

So we have cameras and we have storage. We also have a third piece which is milestone. So milestone is our video management system or VMS. Milestone is the software that's used by our staff, our principles to view the camera. So when they want to see an event on a camera, they'll log into Milestone. They can do searching there. They can export data, export footage if they need to. So Milestone is a system that they use. So there's three parts to our current system. So that started in 2014. So over five years then that system slowly grew as we added more cameras to our school sites and because of that it also made our data center storage grow as well right so as we add cameras it made the data center the storage that we needed to grow. One of the big things about this too was so when we started we had 1080 HD cameras right so these are like you know the old 1080 HD TVs when we started we had that resolution of camera and as time went on we started getting 4K cameras so 4K cameras require four times the storage so to put that in perspective if we have a single server that originally held 200 cameras onto it with 1080 when we got 4K cameras it could only hold 50 right so it really caused our data storage needs to really balloon as time went by as we increased our camera resolution.

Uh there is vast concerns regarding whether or not this bill is still in line with federal title 9 guidelines. I would like to specify that within the bill itself, it adds on additional practices for investigations and decision-making, but it doesn't add a clause that says, "Oh, and also disregard every single other federal mandate." uh already follows federal laws in countless other areas from the First Amendment to Brown v.

And I would say I think it's important to understand though too obviously I made the statement that teameing is more behavioral and MTSS is more instructional. They both do each there's the teachers meet and they they intervene with students that are failing or struggling to turn in assignments. So they they both models do both. >> I I misunderstood you. >> Yeah. But I would say that the teameing model has a more of a more of the time spent in a teaming model is spent on discipline rather than instructional. And an MTSS is going to really kind of mesh both of those more together. >> And I know you're giving us a report and I know you're going to come back with a final report. >> And I thank you know you and others for the efforts they put into this. >> Um but as you sit here today, you think this change is necessary.

So, >> I I do think like a couple of things in in here kind of were, you know, when we did when we did the citiz the um the open meeting law training, you know, couple things we we definitely if we're going to have public participation, we have to it's kind of like equal access to everyone. So, if we're going to put a time limit or something like that on on you know um citizens participation, it has to be for everyone. Um and then again, if we allow public comment during any other part of the meetings, >> it has to be um this the same thing like you know we we can't shut down any particular person.
