>> I'd like to see this in a work session as well. ready to ask that same comment as well. >> I was going to bring that up. >> Yeah. >> That the board would like to probably look at a work session on this. >> Sure. >> Before the final report that happen >> before Yeah, >> I'd appreciate that. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> We appreciate you gentlemen. >> And and thank all those that have participated too because I know it's not just the two of you. So, >> thank you. >> Okay. Moving on to 6.1 public comments. We do not have anybody signed up. Next is the consent items.
And again, I think we have to be careful about making it a discussion with who's coming, right? If we're if we're if we're something's if we're discussing something and I we should might want to get clarification. I don't know that we can debate the person who's at the podium, right? Unless Unless we could have a discussion with the person if it's on the agenda. If it's on the agenda and we open it up for for comment. >> Yeah. But it's like if it's not on the if it's on the agenda that's the problem. So I think it what happened Claudia where you're saying you were shut down is the our agenda item was on update on 40B projects and then we we got into detail about what happened at the conservation commission >> which was about 40B project which was about a 40B project. I mean it was totally in line with the 40B project thing.
Last year we did one or the year before and we had at one time we had two parents show up. So again, it's those hard things, you know, you offer and then that person we they wouldn't let us videotape it to be able to share, right, with other families. That's sometimes the hard thing, too. >> Okay. >> But >> okay, >> different areas. >> Thank you. >> D, which AI platform are you guys using? Just out of curiosity. You said that they were using it for it's not you're not using a platform or anything. The >> not specific >> Gemini or any of those? >> Well, some staff do. >> Yeah, that's what I was. >> Some staff do. It depends on what it is they um that they're working on. I think it's it's more about understanding it the process of it how do we use it >> um you know like even in their writing you know for having kids instead of kids >> putting something in like um >> so it gives them the whole all the answer it's like maybe we had in seventh grade they were doing things how to make their writing better based on feedback from the teacher how can we make this better for whatever you know whatever the feedback was that type of way because we know they're going to utilize it um and it's interesting I could say here, you know, some of the staff we as we talk about um and and a staff member actually showed me an article.
So very important. So if a video is ever leaked or anything of that nature, you will know exactly who and when and where and how. So that is a a big misconception to just there. Um, next, I'll bring up our security incident that was brought up from 2021. You can all read about this publicly on our Burkata blog. It's still publicly today on our website. Um where a hacker compromised our platform and gained access to then our 97 customers of our SE 6,000. Today we have over 32,000 customers globally. So we've grown tremendously since that time. Uh we immediately investigated and contained that incident. uh we curtailed the attackers access within two hours of discovery and we notified customers that same instance. Uh we then began immediate work to strengthen our safeguards and and u parenting within leading cyber security specialists. Promise I'm almost done.
Any discussion? Chair votes I. Vice chair. Senate bill 2320 passing with amendments. Uh chair votes I. Vice chair will vote I. Senator decoy I. >> Senator Rose I. Senator Alwa is excused. Motion is adopted. Okay. And that adjourns the
So you can have a a a fuller picture of sort of all of the points in which students are engaging in the process. Also in our climate survey we have um uh actually done a comparison with national based on the AAOU uh universities. So those are the uh research one institutions across the country. We are doing far better in terms of students awareness of resources and students awareness of the title 9 coordinator much better than the national. I'm happy to provide that data for you. Could we be doing better? Yes. But we also support survivor autonomy so that we're not forcing students into a formal investigation process if they don't feel comfortable or safe in doing that. And thank you for the opportunity to answer that question. >> Okay. Let me further ask questions. So, how many complaints aggregate complaints did you receive last year?
Are there any questions for anyone? All >> looked at it. Do I have a motion? >> Mr. President, I move we approve the consent items as presented. >> Thank you, Mr. Daniels. And do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Alexander. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed. Passes 50. Now we go on down to action items. 8.1 is a preliminary review of draft policy revisions. This is just a read through tonight. >> Yes, that is correct. We're not asking for any action this evening. Um we work with outside company. Niola is their name, their employee lawyers and policy writers. Um they've provided us with this most recent update for the policies listed. Um many of these are changes um that other school corporations have taken on and we're just now bringing them to the board to get approved.
>> Okay. >> You know I'm just you know >> trying to clarify that. So >> I'm all I'm good. >> Can I comment on that Randy? Sure. >> Um Carl Hackinson, 346 Chestnut Street and the vice chair of the conservation commission. I think Claudia maybe what you're referring to because you said that I was shut down and although the other commissioners would probably like to shut me down. I wouldn't be shut down at a con meeting. We were at a ZBA meeting and we were speaking to an issue I think where we were we were shut down at the podium. But I think you raised a good point Yolanda that I think there's a difference between public participation at the beginning of u a meeting and public comment during each agenda item. And I think that that there's a clear delineation there because that stuff is on the agenda and that's the whole purpose of open meeting is to have an open meeting about things that are on the agenda.
They're talking about getting back to paper and pencil because it's frustrating in certain areas. An example like with math, we if we use they have to write the workout, but then they're like, well, you know what, if they go to do a problem in math, as we know, our math teachers that they could Google, they they could uh you know, do that also in AI and it could show them the steps that they would do, >> right? >> And just copy it. Obviously, we want them to understand it, not just to come up with an answer, right? >> So, really, it's just using it appropriately, right? I got you >> is more and helpful also lesson planning and being, you know, more efficient in in things that you may need as a teacher. >> Absolutely. >> To help you out. >> Any other questions? >> All right.
Just wanted to go through a couple of things. Uh we've since continue to prioritize strengthenings verata's data security uh for fostering obtaining leading industry uh certifications. So on top of this, we've adopted the FTC's information security programs for protocols. So a thirdparty assessors conduct uh bianual reviews as part of these protocols. So our customers are provided with another layer of assurance that we're then consistently strengthening our security posture. So security and privacy are at the core of what we do and we take that responsibility and protect you and our customers very seriously. Um next was brought up was our our company culture. I believe uh specifically from an incident back in 2019 um when I know of our our employees misused our software internally. We recognized that and we let down our members um customers and partners at that time. Um but we learned a lot from that lesson.
>> Uh, I don't have the data for the aggregate in front of me. Um, I >> I think you reported. >> Yeah, I have data for >> just really quick if you can just give us a number. >> Okay, >> so for uh school year 2022 2023 that is the most recent act 242 report that is publicly available. This is why everyone testifying has cited that information rather than any data for what's number 265 complaints. 194 did not move forward informally or formally. I understand that that was a key concern. Only two of those received a full investigation from the university in which an official decision was rendered. So those are those. >> Thank you for that. >> And that would also be because those are the students that are choosing to move forward formally. So you have to look at the subset of the ones who choose to move forward formally to get look at what the actual final outcome is.
Um we'll do a first reading tonight. The biggest changes as you see on the summary sheet are um language throughout a number of policies that impact different employee groups and students. Um and they relate around some changes that were made um years ago from a dear colleague letter from the federal government and now a change in administration that's kind of switched back. It's important to note there won't be a actual procedural change or how we approach any of these topics, just simply the language that's in the policy. Um individuals will still be protected. um we will still provide them that protection and we will still investigate any kind of um harassment cases that may come out of a lack of that protection. And so that's the bulk of the changes in the policy policies listed. There are two at the bottom that are outside of that kind of general overarching theme and that's a public records.
Um, so I think that there's a um that you need to delineate between see we don't have public participation at the concom on our agenda. We have public comment on the issues that come up at our agenda. If somebody wanted to just show up and speak, it would be awkward because it wasn't an agenda item. Um whereas here you have a different format than we have at the Conservation Commission. Um, but anyway, that's all I had to say. But I I think it's got good. I think you raised a good point. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> All right. Are we are we good? Does anybody else have anything before we move on? >> No, we're good. >> Okay. Um, so the next item on our agenda, discuss process and access to town council. We're actually going to move that to our next meeting. Um, we want to have a larger conversation about um >> Oh, I have >> It's off It's already off the agenda.
for the um as we talk about the school climate plan. These were some of the areas that we had for prevention and intervention strategies that we're talking and some of this again you'll see is similar to what we talked about before. But really just evidence-based practices um and being proactive in any of these uh different things that are up here with challenging behaviors, MTSS, restorative practices, so on and so forth. We want to be able to promote that positive uh climate. Um again, you will see the different um things that we have here, the processes that we have, the assemblies. I just put a couple in there that we've talked about uh that we've had, excuse me, that will obviously uh bring up about positive school climate and then the restorative practices which I just spoke about uh before. >> Go ahead. >> Sorry, quick question.
We've made organizational changes, doubled down on um our culture, established clear protocols and began to facilitate regular training and hired new personnel to align within our company vision. Um, and what's most importantly for the room to understand is BRCAT has grown drastically since then in 2019. It's a very different company from what we are today. Uh, like I said, we've massively grown since then. Um, and 97.5% of the company was is not here or was not there at the time of that incident. So, a lot has changed. Those are essentially our our founding team. Um, many thanks to to everyone for having us here.
mean I can actually uh digest some of that data for you and and give it to you and actually would love to meet with you too on on that data. >> That's going to be my next question. Have you reach out to the student body because I know a lot of the testifiers are from the university. So is there been some kind of dialogue with them explaining the data and so forth? I mean, we have had some conversations with student affairs folks and I had done a reach out last year to our uh systemwide student um government. Um but I do think that we should have more conversations around I don't I don't in terms of the safety issues and moving forward. I think what we could do in our climate survey is do more of a drill down of what the specific barriers are to moving forward because it all kind of gets lumped together.
We'd like to update that. We've had requests for um Center Grove Police Department body cam footage and that is quite timely to produce um and so we did want to add some cost and fees associated with that within the the rules and that are provided by the state. And then the last one is a slight change to uh our withdrawal from school policy. So these are students that are withdrawing but not transferring to another institution. Um and prior we had left in some language that that could be appealed to the board. Um, we really feel like that's more of an operational um, item that should remain at the high school level with the high school principal and the high school principal due to the accountability requirements for that should be the final say and whether or not that student should be able to withdraw from school without any other school that they're transferring to.
>> Oh, it's already off the agenda. Okay. This is what happens when I when I print out what >> I was going to say. The next thing I have is the request for the concom.
>> You want question? Yeah, that's fine. So on the last side, the the discipline assemblies, the those are all things that have happened so far. >> Uh we had one in the fall. We will have one again. It's right usually we joke it's right around spring break when they're coming back and you know we got to that the last the ending is we could see it but it's seems far. um you know just again I think it's just more of just going back over what those expectations are and this this is not this is different like we have teachers will do that when they come back from say even the the holiday break they'll do that everyone's a little bit different but this is specific with our Dina students and our assistant principal they go in there again just more or and or the second one in the spring sometimes we'll cover some areas that we have heard and have gone through even with our data for our referrals of things that we need to make sure we reiterate with students.
And again, we're proud to to serve the Chico community and address any questions or concerns, but we are here to to protect not just the faculty staff, but the students. So, with that said, I'll pause for for that. >> I appreciate that. >> So, we also have Dave McCay here. So, he'll be telling you a little bit about how um he uses the cameras at his school. Uh we were going to have Scott Harris here, but he came down with the flu, so we don't have him here today.
