We Let's see how you know it goes and uh then we can we can change that as as uh as needed. >> I think our hope is that the board culture will be very much one that allows the students to speak and to give feedback from their peers. Um and as long as we are building that type of culture here at this table, I I think we both felt like it was kind of confusing. It's like, hey, you can give a vote, but it doesn't really count, you know? So just get their feedback and their peers feedback >> without titling it an advisory vote and if something needs to be changed like Rob said. >> Yeah, that's the more important thing I think. Um and then one other quick point is so one of the things we talked about is we would give these uh board members uh possibly an initiative to start with.

It's for the Promise Program. There'll be buy-in and I think when people have to um put in money and make an investment in themselves that they will get um probably more more am I saying commitment?
for the school year, something that they're going to work on throughout the year and report back to the board. And so yet to be determined, but this way they have something. And but we said at the same time, we're not that doesn't mean they can't they can still go out and meet with their peers and as they hear things or they want to bring up anything that they'll they can still do that. But um but they will have a task, a job, you know, kind of a project to work on for the year. So, an internship if you will. >> And by the way, I want to steal all these skills right here. >> Yeah, right. Can we Okay, but the edit if maybe Holly can put more. I You should have seen me trying to edit like I had to download Adobe and then I was like, what am I doing?

Okay. >> So then will they also kind of have an ambassador role a little bit like or are we just sort of like doing away with that part of it? >> That's a good question. DVD >> to be to be determined. >> I think they should still be be bringing celebrations if they're not given especially if they're not dealing with a lot of tasks. And I think like in the future you could potentially have four board members, right? And then like you could definitely >> one could do >> Yeah. Yeah. You could skill sets like Okay.

>> Yeah. Alternates. >> Alternates. I mean maybe you task them with that connection with the K through eight kids. >> Um and then freeing up time or maybe doing more of the celebratory stuff. But like a Yeah, this stuff just it seemed like for right now >> we'll kind of build it and uh >> I think we could they could still bring their celebrations with some other stuff >> with business. >> Okay. >> But they would be expected to sit at this table through most of the meeting unless they had like some reason to to leave. But >> except for closed sessions, right? >> Yeah. No closed sessions. Yeah. >> They don't do any sort of closed sessions. They don't vote. Can we rearrange the meeting though if we know that you know there's topics that we definitely want their feedback on >> the beginning things around >> we talked about that we would frontload their topics at the beginning of the meeting although I think I shared at the last meeting when I watched the asiggo one >> they had the student board member all the way at the end >> feel like we're gonna make sure you stay here >> they got to earn that title >> right earn that title >> no our meetings go so late I don't think we could do that to them.
So, >> so yeah, we were saying we we'll try and have it at and if they need to leave for some reason, but if if there's not a reason to leave and the expectation would be they would sit >> we will have to figure out actually >> tech week >> where to put them physically >> next to >> I just that's a that's a we can work that out. >> Yes. Yes. Listen, I'll advocate this. >> No room. I >> can't ask. >> I think we get going with it because there time is of the essence. So, I think we if Rob and Danielle are okay with it, get the applications rolling and then depending on the volume, then we determine how we make selections. >> Yeah. Especially because of the time crunch. I'm okay with Yes. putting some of this in your hands if you're okay with that.
>> Absolutely. And then if next year we decide, okay, we need to have a different process, we can do that. But because of the time crunch, I think we need to just get like ideally we wouldn't be doing a feedback and like so next year we could have a feedback loop and then adjust and hopefully be doing this process I think more towards the fall >> to roll out later. But yeah, definitely definitely. >> Yeah, >> I'm excited for it. Awesome. Thank you. >> So Holly, can we start on the 20th? That was our goal, right? >> Deep breaths, Holly. >> Tell us what you need from us. >> Do you want me to edit >> Monday? >> Edit more documents. I can do all of that. >> Yeah, Monday's fine. >> Monday's okay. >> Thanks, >> All right. I will entertain a motion to approve the student board member program as presented.
>> So moved. >> Fluid. >> Second. >> All right. Motion by Katie, second by Aaron. Uh Cindy, please lead us in a roll call vote. >> Yes. >> Slider, >> yes. >> Garos, >> yes. >> Kilberg, >> yes. >> Meadows, >> yes. >> Thank you. Congratulations. You two >> off and running. All right. Item 9.1. Brad. >> Sure. >> Let's talk about textbooks. I am asking the board to place on public display for a period of of about a month a textbook for um one of our algebra classes um books are from 2004. So they're older than some of our students who are taking that class and one of them we need to to update that and a lot of this is in response to really a very successful implementation at our middle school of EM squared which has really upped the rigor of our students math experience and given them great experiences.
We run that same class at the high school, algebra at the high school, and we're seeing like ripple effects. So, like kids are in different spots now, and they're learning in different ways. So, this update, the department went through a process. Uh, they agreed to this, and they're going to use this as kind of a jumping off point for adjusting to some of our new student expectations around mathematics.
>> Any questions? I will enter. Let me get the wording right. All right. If there are no questions, I'll entertain a motion to place Reveal Algebra 2 2020 on display for a period of one month in accordance with BOE policy 6 col 210 under the section instructional material selection and adoption. >> So moved by Danielle. >> Second by Rob. Cindy, please lead us in a roll call vote. >> Arlanu, >> yes. >> Garos, >> yes. >> Sligger, >> yes. Swiki, >> yes. >> Meadows, >> yes. >> Kilberg, >> yes. >> Passes. Thank you very much. Item 9.2, approval of the purchase of cook and hold ovens and commercial refrigerators. >> Now, I know why you wanted this. 9.3 first. >> Start off big and work our way down there from there. >> Yeah, we're just kind of >> I refrigerators are important. >> It's important, don't get me wrong.
>> Everything's important. And uh this is really looking at transitioning from residential grade cookware at our elementary schools to commercial grade. So just will the technology work? I don't know, Holly. >> Oh, turn it back on. >> Oh, it's not on. >> Oh, and sorry, I unplugged it. >> Oh, one moment, please. >> I really didn't want you to be able to speak. No refrigerators tonight. >> We're not talking. >> Wait, wait, wait. Let me >> I heard the noise. >> There we go. All right. So, let's look at the why. Um, there's going to be a short-term component to this and then a long-term component. So, the short-term component is to improve our breakfast offerings at our elementary schools. And then the long-term goal is to position the district to reimagine lunch service at the elementary schools. Um I sit with a lot of kids.
I hear about lunch. The high school loves it. The middle school loves it. The elementary it's like it's okay, right? And we can do better. So this is one of the reasons we're doing this. It's also, if you haven't been following about the food pyramid, there's a new food pyramid that came out from the government and this will eventually trickle down from the USDA and change some of the offerings that we have to provide for lunch and breakfast. So, we want to just position ourselves to be as responsive as we can. Um, this is a quick timeline of what food looks like for our elementary students. So at 5:30 in the morning, lunch and breakfast production starts at RMS. And I want to highlight breakfast with this one. That's breakfast for the following day. Okay? And then it gets loaded onto a truck and a hot box and it gets sent over to our elementary schools where it sits in a hot box and a cold box and is served for lunch.
Breakfast. Those are some of the breakfast items at the bottom there. They're very graband go. They're not requiring cooking. They might have to be warmed up in the microwave, but as I said, they're getting tomorrow's breakfast today. So, those are the types of items that uh students are getting. And while kids might like Pop-Tarts, it's not necessarily the most nutritional option that we can be providing them. All right. I don't know if you've been to some of the elementary kitchens lately, but here we go. Here's Storm. Um, you've got a residential stove, a residential fridge, there's three, 400 kids at Storm, and could you imagine cooking Thanksgiving dinner for those kids with that equipment? You couldn't do it, and it wouldn't be possible, right? Um, all of our elementary schools look like this. We've got uh commercial or residential stoves. I went around with Mike Holly, one of the uh facilities guys, and we were looking at the upper cabinets, and there's not even anything in them.
They're there just for wall decorations. And I point that out because they'd have to be removed for what we're going to be putting in. This is what we would be putting in. Uh assuming you guys help me out and approve this purchase. So, we've got cook and hold units, which is a way of keeping food at a proper temperature and also cooking it quickly. Um this is more of a commercial product and it's not that residential piece. And then we would be serving more fresh food. So we would get away with the freezer that literally has nothing in it except maybe an ice pack or a bag of ice and have a full commercial fridge to put more fresh products into the kitchens. The cost is uh it's a large it's a large cost. But Erin, I know you're already thinking it. Is this budgeted for?
And yes, it is. So, this was already budgeted for um and this is a way to position ourselves for these elementary schools to get better products in breakfast to start and then lunch. This is the like compliance piece. We're doing this through the uh purchasing cooperative Omnia um purchasing agreement and we have to do that to meet requirements and purchasing and this also allowed us not to actually post this for bid. We let someone else do it for us. Um this is what breakfast would look like. And I want to emphasize this is step one. We're focusing just on breakfast. So, what we would do, all the other pieces would stay the same, except we would be actually warming the food up on site. We would be changing what we're offering and focus more on proteinbased items for breakfast. So, we'd be giving kids um some choices other than prepackaged food.
And then we would monitor that by um our current participation in breakfast is 4% I think we can do better than 4%. I'm confident that if we offer a better product, we can get those numbers up. And then talking to kids, making sure that we're offering what they want for breakfast. Um, making sure the temperature is is good and that we're being consistent with that. And this is something that I would monitor. And also our partners with organic life questions. So they're not cooking the food in this >> in this for breakfast. No, they are warming the food. >> It's staying warm, right? >> It's staying warm and it gets up to temperature quickly in these cook and hold units. >> Right. >> I will say anecdotally, the only question my daughter or when my kids were in grade school ever asked me about related to these activities is about the food.
That was the only thing. And I would get that kind of consistently actually. So this is I mean, when you showed what we're giving them now, a pop-tart >> Yeah. >> and something with protein like that's a win if we can do that. >> Yeah. And I don't know this for sure, but with the USDA's new guidelines as they come out, my assumption is it's going to become more protein focused. So, this allows us to be prepared for that and not be as retroactive. Uh if I'm understanding from the Iraq meeting too that this is money that through the school lunch or the national school lunch program like we have to reinvest in our food service. So it's budgeted for and it has to be used in this kind of way. >> Correct. So the last big renovation we did at the K8 level was at the middle school.
