The US Supreme Court just delivered a major ruling that could reshape the fight for LGBTQ rights. And the most surprising part, liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Alana Kagan joined conservative justices for a coalition to form a majority with only one person dissenting on the court. In an 8:1 decision, the Supreme Court ruled against Colorado's ban on conversion therapy, saying that it violated First Amendment rights. The majority opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch argued that states cannot ban what people say during therapy sessions, even if those viewpoints are controversial. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson was alone to center in the case and warned that the ruling could weaken state's ability to regulate medical professionals and protect public health. The case was brought by a Christian therapist who argued that Colorado's 2019 law prohibited her from having certain conversations with minors who sought to realign their sexuality with their religious beliefs.

Colorado defended the law, saying that it was a way to protect young people from a practice that is widely opposed by medical organizations. The organizations have linked conversion therapy to increased risks of depression and suicide. The court's ruling could impact laws in over 20 states and potentially open the door to more legal challenges. It also could be a signal in how the court plans to approach other cases involving religion, speech, and LGBTQ rights.

And as chair, I've sent each nominee questions several weeks ago and all of their responses along with their resumes as as they submitted to me have been emailed to members of the committee on education. Um I know uh my very conscientious members have met with some of you today already before this meeting. And given the urgency of teacher shortages, reliance of emergency hires and recent investments in teacher pipeline programs, this committee will focus on how nominees plan to ensure accountability, responsiveness and innovation and lensure and workforce development. Uh we have urged the members up for confirmation to be here in person. We did make um arrangements for Zoom for a couple members who are not on island. We have one in Texas, one on Mokai, and then we did have uh our first um GM658 saying they were not able to attend. Uh so with that, we will go ahead and get started.

Every district, not just the city of champions, every district is doing everything it can to tighten its belt. It's no and it's no different here. Um this board has worked extremely hard with the administration over the last several weeks. Uh it's it's been very trying. Uh it's not an easy thing when you're talking about maintaining excellence and trying to enhance everything that the kids need in this city and at the same time thinking fiscally responsible and also trying to understand the things that you're going through, but I can tell you right now every voice up here has done that and I'm not saying that because I have to, I'm saying that because it's true. 30 years of me doing this um putting budgets together, this is probably one of the most difficult tasks that a board does and this one specifically in 2026-2027 has been really difficult because of all the challenges.

Uh William Buckingham. Hello. My name is Bill Buckingham. I am a Surprise resident and my kids have moved beyond and grandkids have moved beyond schools at this point, but I do have an interest in the community. I'm a resident and voter here and a taxpayer here. Uh specific issues that I was hoping to address uh was I've attended three or four different meetings and heard from Dysart high school students uh about their concerns about this ICE detention facility that's going in. Uh I tried to get dig in a little bit to see if the uh school district has taken any position on this in that it's uh relatively close within a mile, I think, of Dysart High School as well as a junior high school in the vicinity. Uh I know the kids or the students have a heck of a lot of concerns. I think they're uh and I share them, candidly.

Um, beginning with GM658, general nominee, uh, I'm sorry, guminatorial nominee Christy U Mimi for a term to expire 6:30, 2028. We did receive, uh, 18 testimonies.

Chair K, members of the committee Osatoule, president of the Hawaii State Teachers Association, uh testifying with strong comments on this nominee. We've been very disappointed in what the board has not been accomplishing basically uh over the past few years uh and it is the chair who has the authority right to make things happen and we haven't been seeing things happening. We know a lot of teachers have been trying to get trying very hard to get their lensure and have been denied those opportunities.

Uh we did get lucky again um because of the equalization aid and the funding, we'll talk about that in a few minutes, to get a 6% increase. Okay? Uh and we'll talk about what that really means because I still think that historically in the city it hadn't been explained um the it probably should have. It's no one's fault. Uh it's just, you know, budgeting is not as easy as everyone thinks it is. And when you're in your house, when you're home, your family, it's a little different, right? You A + B equals, you know, A + B. Right? And then you have a little bit over here in case something happens and we have some accounts over there. Doesn't happen here. You have to remember we're working on a school year versus a fiscal year. That's number one. Right? Everything's cut in half for us.

Uh I think there are some economic issues here and it's debatable, but uh I think the that facility now has paid $200,000 or more a year last year in property taxes that go to Dysart. I think it's paid $341,000 overall. Obviously, some of that goes to Surprise and other jurisdictions. But I guess the bottom line is well, I guess one other question. Somebody has raised the issue, does Dysart schools have any particular plan in place if ICE shows up on the premises? Uh Do they? Does anyone know? Sorry, sir. We can't respond. >> Okay. Well, okay. I'd be interested if there is a plan and interested in seeing a copy of it. And I'd like to see uh the uh school district take a stance in this area. I think it's detrimental to the kids. It's detrimental to the community as a whole. It's detrimental to uh certainly Surprise and El Mirage's image and what have you.
