We have a second. >> Seconded. >> Any board discussion? I'm also definitely in favor of this as well. I feel like some of the language was a little bit um loose and so I think it just provides a little extra clarity and the intention um we had was um just to provide um more support to the health care provider but also at the same time just um supporting the family in in this way too. So, any other comment or discussion? Let's go ahead and vote. Um, are you okay with us continuing with our vote voting al together? Okay. All of those. And >> I'm I'm sorry because um I I'm just just a point of clarification. Um, I did I just didn't know whether the all of the policies h that's really what I was wondering is if all of them have to be approved at once or we can go through one.
Any discussion? None. Chair votes I. >> SP 895. Chair recommendations passed un amended. Chair votes I. Any members with voting with reservations? Any members voting? No. Without others voting I. Recommendations adopted. >> Thank you. Senate bill 3262. Uh this is the teacher standards board. Recommendation is to pass as is. Okay. SP 3262. Chair's recommendations pass un amended. Chair votes I and members voting with reservations and members voting no without others voting I recommendations adopted. >> Thank you. Senate bill 2548 relating to school facilities. Uh the recommendation is to delete the portion of deferred maintenance leaving that still with department of education um making technical and non-s substantive amendments and defecting the date to July 1, 2015.
>> We're going to go through them separately, right? >> Okay, great. Thank you. >> That's what I was under the impression. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Okay, so we're just specifically talking about the mental health at this point. >> Okay, perfect. Okay. So, um what we're voting on now is um approval of the revised policy um the mental health one uh with the changes um that have been presented tonight with this in regards to this particular paragraph. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Opposed. Okay, this passes. So, I'm not exactly sure how we go about with the deleted board policy. Do you wanna? >> Sure. My best guess would be because uh this board policy has been deleted and struck completely because a new one has come up and you'll see that in the next agenda item. I think it's probably pretty simple uh to vote as a deletion.
Any discussion? Hearing none. Chair vai. >> Members SB 2548 SH recommendation to pass with amendments. Chair votes I. Any members voting with reservations? Any members voting no. Without others voting I. Recommendations adopted. >> Okay. Senate bill 2550 relating to school modernization. Recommended is to amend to an SD1 adding technical non-substantive amendments and also to add in that this will be done every 5 years instead of three.
>> Yeah. So, >> are we not going to deal with discussing the rest of Where is it? Cheers. It's already done. >> And thank you. I I was under the impression we had gone to the next one, so I um had let Jen head home as she's got to drive uh back to her place. But I will be happy to express uh your your warm wishes for her work. >> Okay. >> I I will move that 5145.13 be deleted from board policy. >> Seconded. Sorry. Um, this time, uh, we're going to take a look at the updated board policy. um uh 6162-.7 the use of technology in instruction and let's see >> sure thank you. There were just uh two things that were requested to be looked at. Um one was at the bottom of page two the last paragraph. Um, there was some some board member uh requests for some verbiage in that last paragraph to um read clearly.
Any discussion? Hearing none. Chair vzai. Members SB 2550 charter recommendations pass with amendments. Chair votes I. Any members voting with reservations? Any members voting no without others voting I. Recommendations adopted. >> Okay. Members Senate Bill 2814 relating to preventive maintenance funding. Recommendation is to defer this measure.
And I also believe member Olsen had wondered about number two up at the top of that page adding the word interaction. I believe yes. So if I understood her correctly, it would be balance required and then that would read technology should complement other educational activities that promote communication, physical activity, interaction, and digital citizenship. Is that correct? >> I couldn't have said it better. >> Why thank you. Wow. >> Is it okay to >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um I'm sure uh Tesha will have some comments um on this as well. Um um I think it's clear to just um just so the board understands um that one of the changes that uh we are suggesting um in regards to the use of technology um it is it's a pretty um I don't want to say it's a big change but uh let's see on yes on page two so um the changes are at the very bottom all staff should strive to use technology in transformative and in supportive ways um and limit restrictive uh usage.
Any discussion? Hearing none deferred. Senate bill 2605 relating to school facilities. Uh making the schools available um on weekends and Sundays and Saturdays. Uh recommendation is to defer this measure as well.
In addition, disruptive technology use should be eliminated. So, we um we're suggesting a couple changes there. Um specifically saying that basically there should be no disruptive use of technology. Um, but I think probably the biggest um suggestion and change we have is um the board supports Chromebooks only being sent home with elementary age students if requested by the students family. So, it suggests a pretty um big change because um as it stood before um Chromebooks were were sent home um with elementary age students unless the parents requested that they weren't sent home. So, um we have different reasons for why we believe it that this is a a positive change. Um, and so I'm gonna let you talk about it too, Tisha. >> Well, I just wanted to say I really appreciate um, Rebecca's work on this and also other board members sending us information.
Discussion hearing none. It's deferred. Senate bill 2261 relating to health uh physician and dentist recruitment on mai recommendation is to blank out the appropriation amount on page two. Um do we need a SD1 to blank out? >> Yes. Okay. Thank you. Um chair votes I >> members SB2261 chair's recommendations pass with amendments chair votes I any members voting with reservations any members voting no without others voting I recommendations adopted >> okay Senate bill 3047 uh this is the financial literacy recommend recommend to blank out the appropriation on page three and yeah that's it so blanking out the appropriation on page three so SD1 >> All right chair recommendation is to Pass SP 3047 with amendments. Chair votes I. Any members voting with reservations? Any members voting no. With all others voting I. Recommendations adopted. >> Okay. Senate bill 3116. This is the uh framework for community education programs.
The gist of it is that um, what research shows is that uh, having too much screen time is bad for the development of brains. And we believe that at the elementary school level that there isn't a good enough reason to send Chromebooks home unless a family specifically requests it. In that case, then that the family can have a conversation with the school administrator. I assume it would be the school administrator. And then you know that that need can if it's a need, then of course we want to be responsive to our community um and our family's needs. But um you know right now I mean I've sat in on elementary LCAP meetings and I did hear that students are taking their Chromebooks home and that they have homework to do on their Chromebook. and uh Rebecca and I both felt um as you know the liaison for this topic that um perhaps that's an instructional practice that needs to change that um we don't see the need for elementary school age children uh that there are other if homework is going to be assigned then other means can be assign you know it doesn't have to be done on a Chromebook that was our our feeling and we feel like uh it's in the best interest of those elementary age students developing brains.
Recommendation is in SD1 technical and non-substantive amendments. Discussion hearing. Hearing none. Chair votes I. >> Members SB 3116. Chair's recommendations pass with amendments. Chair votes eye. Any members voting with reservations? Any members voting no. Without others voting I. Recommendations adopted. >> Thank you. And finally, Senate Bill 118. This is the Interstate Compact for Military Children. Recommendation is to do an SD1 for technical and non-substantive amendments.
>> That's my primary um intention, too. I think there's um other ways that we can accomplish this goal. I also think um from a financial standpoint, I think those Chromebooks probably take a pretty good beating um going back and forth uh from school to home. Um, I still think that um, Chromebooks can be used in transformative um, and supportive ways while they are in the classroom. Um, I just don't see that it's essential that they um, make their way home with kids. Um, and this is not um, just my feeling or Tisha's feeling. This is um the feedback we're receiving from from parents and I think um some of the parents have come and spoke at meetings and I think their points are valid. Um I think there's a sense of when we issue a Chromebook to an elementary uh student, they see it as theirs and and um something that they can use in in their own way.
Any discussion? Hearing none. Chair votes I. >> Members, SB 3118 chair recommendations passed with amendments. Chair votes I. Any members voting with reservations? Any members voting? No. Without others voting I recommendations adopted. >> Thank you. And with that, we are adjourned.
Um, and I don't know that parents always appreciate that. So, I think um, certainly this um, change with board policy supports parents if they're if they're coming to the teacher and saying, "Hey, we'd like a Chromebook so that we can work on these things at home." Um, we can certainly issue those. Um but for um the best interest of all students, I think um we can find other ways to do homework assignments aside from the use of a Chromebook for elementary students. Again, just to point out, this is specifically for elementary. So, uh Heather and Suentes and I will work with the elementary principles. Uh this may take a little bit to get going because it is a pretty significant change for them currently. Uh so you'll if you will allow us some time to to get this into effect and the communication to administrators to teachers and then with their own their own families as well.
>> This needs to be a amendment but I mean I'm comfortable with this being something that's initiated with the the fall school year. I mean I don't know >> that would be helpful on our end to make sure the communication's clear and everybody knows what uh what the expectations are. >> Yeah. I I I believe that um for those students who like I was just thinking of those LCAP students who currently take theirs home that it would be um it would be an a big change for them to be told, yeah, you can't have that at your home anymore. And it also gives uh teachers an opportunity to figure out, you know, what do they want homework to look like if there's going to be homework at the elementary school level, right? Um, and I also want to really appreciate John Benson, Antina. They were great to work with on this.
And I really do feel as I look as I look at what's included, I mean, I I realize that maybe a board policy doesn't need to have purpose matters balance. I think this to me is really important language. Even though, you know, it doesn't it doesn't read like um other board policies maybe do. I I think that when we're talking about brain development, I I'm just proud of this. So, I'm I'm really pleased. Thank you for helping on this and being responsive to uh Rebecca's and my um suggestions. >> You're welcome. Um for one last piece, so to make it really clear, which would probably be helpful, I would suggest maybe we stay we say something about like effective in August 2026, the board supports Chromebooks only being sent home right before that last sentence. Then it's very very clear and and transparent. Are you good with that?
And this is something that um as I've been spending some time like just researching and reading up on um what's going on, this seems to be not just specific to something um we'd like to see happen, but um I think districts um across the state and country are recognizing >> around the world um that maybe we need to look at at this form of um education and kind of >> go back to our roots and go a little more old school. So, >> right. >> I don't I I think I can say this now and if I can't I'm going to just the other piece of it, it would be like, you know, when we first started with Chromebooks, we had the Chromebook carts, you know, so that at the elementary level, they have to figure out, you know, the charging because they're going to have to be charged.
They're not going to go home and, you know, for the students to charge. Not that the students necessarily charge them all the time but um so that's another component that needs to be worked out as well. So I think giving time is is the best thing. >> Yeah. Thank you very much. That'll be very helpful on our end. and including the time the time. >> Yeah, >> that's too much for me. >> Okay. So I move that that policy 6162.7 be approved with the inclusion of the word interaction after phys after the comma after physical activity number two and that um at the bottom of page two that it says be beginning in August of 2026 6. The board supports Chromebooks only being sent home with elementary age students if requested by the students family. >> Seconded. >> Okay, we have a motion by member Hayes, a second by um member Lando.
Let's go ahead and do a vote all together. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. >> Those opposed. >> Okay, that passes. Awesome. All right. Okay. Moving along. Um let's see. Discussion action. This is um first reading and approval of new board policy by Tina Kee. >> Correct. So as I mentioned previously, the other immigration uh enforcement board policy was completely removed. It's a whole new number now. It becomes 1445. And uh you'll see it's all in red. It is uh quite it's quite more substantial than the um in in breadth and information than the previous board policy. And can you tell us um just for members of the public that may be watching um how does how does this come about that a a whole policy would be stricken and then a whole new policy would be created? Do you have a sense of that?
