Seeing that it's up to 6:30, please stand for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I almost sat down on the 7th of March cuz I'm sure you assumed that, but All right, seeing that there are no public comments, I'll turn it over to Dr. Kriplen. All right, thank you, Mr. Wright. Good evening, everybody, and welcome to our annual annual or usually monthly scheduled regular school board meeting. Tonight, we'll go ahead and start with the business at hand with the consent agenda. I'm recommending to the board this evening that they approve the consent agenda that consists of minutes, financial fiscal information, and extracurricular hirings. At this time, I would make a formal recommendation to the board to approve the consent agenda as presented this evening.
I know it's a lot of information. If you guys have any questions about any apps that the kids are using nowadays or um how to help them um stay safer online, let me know. So she wants to know like how you can put her controls and like how you can um help with that. So every app is a little bit different. We always suggest carriers like for example now Instagram um there's a lawsuit going on in California where a lot of parents kids were victims of crimes on Instagram um have come forward and these social media platforms because they were safe. So now apps like Instagram, they have more control on what kids see on their feed. But every application is going to be different. If kids are unusual, there are restrictions or whatever involve. You can let them you can let a kid account and give them some restrictions like only let them know only let them watch this um content here.
Yeah. >> I'd like to call the meeting to order, please. Can we stand for a pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence? Mr. Jones, you want to lead us off?
It also talks about the number plates on vehicles. It also on Part 2, Part 3, talks about the speed enforcement system systems program, and is Parts 4 that allows the counties for the license plate, and Part 5 it calls upon cameras. Okay, let's proceed with testifying. Okay, thank you so much. Okay. Transportation, DOT. Thank you. Thank you so much. Attorney General. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Vice Chairs and members of the committee. Deputy Attorney General Mark here. Our department has submitted written testimony providing comments on this bill. Our testimony includes Attachment 1, which sets forth our suggested replacement wording for Parts 4 and 5 of the bill. Part 4 of the bill addresses an automatic license plate recognition system, and Part 5 of the bill addresses the school bus infraction detection system. We understand that both of these proposed systems contemplate using technology devices similar to what is currently used under Chapter 291J, which addresses photo red light imaging detectors, and 291L, which regards which which is which addresses automated speed enforcement systems, such that certain provisions from those chapters could support proper implementation and enforcement of these new systems.
Um and two students on the school board and he passed away about almost two months ago now on Saturday and I'd also say that um written with folks including myself, you know, I grew up being in his home and um seeing folks like on the show having discussions with this managing always and um Mr. Mr. Jones. >> Hello.

Hearing the recommendation. I'll make a motion to approve. I'll second.
only let them watch these type of videos. There are kids on each page. Um again, kids are not supposed to have Facebook, Instagram until they're 13. But if there is a way, there is a way. So find a way to do that. So, what you want to do is again talk to them, see what they have, and if they have one of these apps, if you trust them, you can let them know they're able to use it, but you still want to do some research. And again, every app is different, and every kid is different. I used to be um years ago, I used to be a driving instructor and whenever parents, kids, they came to me to talk about, is my kid ready to drive? every drive at 60. So it's the same with social media. Every family will be different. And what I always suggest to parents start by you restrictions and the more you see that smart choices, the more access to other things.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

>> Any other questions? You cannot tell my different. I don't have a restriction on the app. My my kids don't have any social media, but I have I have an app where I control what is downloaded and who they communicate anything. So I know the time that they spend internet and every app that they ask to be downloaded. Uh I can feel the app before authorize them to have their device. So they don't have social media but they um they play games a lot. So I have to control what kind of game we play and then they are appropriate for their age. >> Very good. That's good. And that's something that you can also do like talk to other parents, see how they're um talking to their kids, seeing what apps that they they use, you know, always I always encourage community because you may not be aware of the danger but maybe another pattern of where you went through.
Today we'll start off by presenting the NHS St. Patrick's fundraiser. The annual St. Patrick's NHS National Honor Society fundraiser came back once more on March 10th and 17th. They're all lunches. Money from the sales will go towards the senior NHS member quarter zip sweaters as a final commemorative gift. Ice cream social. Yeah. Um on April 16th at 2:30 p.m. GLTS is holding its first ice cream social. Students will be able to enjoy ice cream and a fun experience with friends for only $4. ELA MCAS. Um yep. Yep. ELA MCAS is season is upon us once more. GLTS sophomores are taking the ELA MCAS March 24th and March 25th. In addition, these days will be a delayed opening for grades 9, 11, and 12. Good luck to our sophomores. SkillsUSA were thrilled to announce the results from last week's SkillsUSA Massachusetts District for qualifying exams. Our GLTS students demonstrated professionalism and dedication.
Michelle Acosta here on behalf of the Judiciary. We stand on our written testimony with comments, and I'll be available for questions. Thank you. Okay, thank you very much, and on Zoom, we do have Nikos Leverenz. Aloha. Aloha, Chairs, Vice Chair, members. Nikos Leverenz testifying in my own capacity. I'm offering comments on this bill. I know that the train has already left the station, and I'm just very concerned that the about the proposed statutory language in Part 4. Statutory language must be more exacting so that those in the executive branch and its contractors have clear parameters that reflect our state's abiding commitment to individual liberties against government overreach. ALPR data has already been used by law enforcement on the continent to exact punishment on those from vulnerable populations, including women seeking needed reproductive health care services, and those who are migrants. In contrast to the broadly permissive approach taken in this bill, the Washington Legislature recently sent SB 6002, the Driver Privacy Act, to Governor Ferguson's desk.
I want to thank Miss Shford who runs that program as well for just amazing thought that night. There were some representatives from the present audit. You could tell they were just impressed by the most heartwarming part I think was seeing the students connect with their culture with such pride and um through that program with each other with their family members itself. Also, I got to participate in America. I got to sixth grade classroom, which was a little intimidating, but it was also kind of fun. Society. So we got through the first chapter. So just this weekend I returned from the schoolboard partnership and you were part of this national network of change. Um, I know that a couple of other board members Sophia in the past and so I'm excited to learn what they've learned and get those skills and help our district. Yes. So, schools circulating to try vouchers.
Any discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Billips. Aye. Mr. Music. Aye. Mr. Tenario. Aye. And I vote aye. Moving on to facility requests, we have one facility request for the board to consider this evening, and it comes from City Elite AAU Basketball, who are interested in using the high school gym from March 24th through August 1st for practices three times a week. I would recommend approval of this request. Hearing the request. I'll make a motion to approve. I'll second.
So that's actually a very good thing to do. Most kids are able to play games online, but again, are they able to chat, you know, they're playing or is it just a game that they have on that a specific device? Will they be more comfortable? We always um our concern is mostly the apps that are connected to the internet and they're able to talk in chat because that's what that's a great thing to do. You want to make sure people know what they're downloading, how much time they're spending there, and all these face. You have a question. April second. I was standing. She's mentioning that she has a case in her family of a kid that has is not allowed to use Tik Tok but is is using Tik Tok because they have an app that is hiding. And that's what we talked about earlier about that vault app or the hidden or secret app.

The bill provides express specific restrictions on the use of data and where such data may not be collected. The bill also restricts the ability of vendors to skirt public oversight and accountability accountability by mandating that they provide government with technical controls, and expressly preventing the selling, leasing, or renting of data, or allowing access to non-authorized agencies. You know, half a century ago, Hawaii was at the forefront of protecting the privacy interests of individuals against state intrusion, including a provision in our constitution expressly acknowledging a right to privacy. So, I'm very hopeful that policy makers will consider putting in some parameters and some guardrails to preserve our larger privacy interests. Mahalo for the opportunity to provide testimony. Nikos, did you have a chance to look at the SD1 as proposed by the Attorney General? Not yet, ma'am. Okay, I think I I can provide feedback on that, but yeah, I'm hopeful.
