Committee members, do you have any questions about this policy and or any questions about the regulation that was explained? Okay, I don't see any. I'm not Thank you. I'm sorry. I did want to just thank Kate if I could. There was a few people that reached out to provide input on this and I appreciate that. So thank you. Sean, I think you're talking but I can't hear you there. Question, do we still use homebound and do we use that ever in lieu of Reicher Endeavor and is that covered somewhere? I'm sorry. There is a separate homebound regulation of how students can be placed on homebound. I believe Sean and I have to double check it might be in our attendance policy as well. At times we have used homebound if it would not be appropriate to be placed in in Reicher Endeavor, but I don't think there's a place for it specific to this policy because it would be considered a separate placement.
I need my helper up here. I know to keep it to two is so again Anita Holsley uh thank you Nate for the last three years he supported sewing at Citrus in the afterchool program right now this session I have 38 kids signed up from first to fifth grade um it's so exciting at recess every single day a kids going are you calling me are you calling me I go okay I'll try I'll try so I brought some of the projects that the kids do.

This This was our forerunner group. And it evolved into the Art in Public Places with Percent for Art. When that ordinance came in place, it set up AAPAC. Um what CAP did, it was so smart, is they they designated money for maintenance. They raised money specifically for maintenance. That's where all the language. I should preface all this by saying, you know, in in 1920 or in 2020, when Allison did a deep dive, all this changed. So I mean it it she made it relevant to to being able to function uh with AAPAC. Um but what they did was they set up so they identified that there was a need for maintenance for every piece of public art that they went out and selected. They They raised the money for it. They selected the artist. They supervised um and uh the the architect that designed that lived across or has offices across the street from it.

Follow up. How many kids are placed right now versus expelled and is it pretty much consistent or is it crazy every year? Sure. So um, the typically the max capacity in the program that we look for are 24 students on the reach side, 24 students on the endeavor side. Um, I think post-COVID we did see a spike in the number of expulsions, a pretty significant spike, and we are now returning back to, um, I would say pre-pandemic times. Um, we have seen far less expulsions, um, and so while there is a handful of students that are there through expulsions, and the time frame I'd have to do an exact count to give you an exact number, um, but I would say about a third of the of the top of my head, about a third of the students are expelled students, and two-thirds of the students are administratively placed at the high school level, and the ratio is at the middle school level are only even a little bit smaller on the expul- expulsion students.
So that's their very first project. From there, we go on to something a little bit higher, harder. And these are boys did these. Bryson did these. Bryson, if you know Bryson, you Oh, Bryson. Bryson is an angel in sewing. He loves sewing. So, he actually made uh this one yesterday. And then Gio, Gio, little second grader, you ask about special ed. I get a lot of special ed uh kids in my class and I'll either have a smaller group that day or I'll have the fourth and fifth grade uh helpers uh as they get um their projects are a little harder. They put them on their backpacks. I had a little girl just yesterday. It was a pro uh it was a project like this and she goes, "Well, I want to do that one." And I go, "That one's kind of hard." She goes, "I am up for the challenge." And it turned out beautiful.
So they were really smart, and it's that that idea of of of building in maintenance for public art uh sort of got lost, and the city when it started really investing hundreds of thousands of dollars didn't really think much about maintenance. Now Now that changed um I think uh um uh with Well, Mary Feehily's has a Almondinger Park uh mural. And and it was vandalized. Remember that, Mary? And and there was a there was a problem. We met with the uh the parks, and the parks said, "Well, you know, the Public Art Commission should raise money." And I was chair at the time, and I basically said, "Well, no, this is a this this is owned by the city, you know, we're we're we're just volunteers. We're citizen volunteers, and we we don't know anything about fundraising. You really the city needs to do it." So um um Craig Hoopey recognized that, and and and sort of uh uh was proactive and created an amendment to the Public Art uh commission uh the Percent for Art ordinance that uh identified who was responsible for the maintenance.

Thank you for the question, Sean. All right, I'm going to ask one more time, are there questions about this policy before we move forward?

And she was so proud of it. So these are kind of the intermediate ones. And then Mr. Hec found this book and the kids, those other ones have the holes punched. Everything's cut out. The yarn's usually in there. But he found this book that my fifth graders are using. You can pass that around. They have to cut out their own patterns. There's no holes. And oh my gosh, they're so cute. Here's a little bat. And then a little uh penguin with a top hat. So, please pass those around. Those are my fourth and fifth graders did these projects. Um, another one that we do is called Kumiimo. It's Japanese weaving. I did this when I did a long term with the fourth graders. They're like, "Can we take them home?" I go, "No, because you'll leave them at home." But kids love this Japanese uh weaving.
And it is and I'm not sure of the language, but it is depending on who where the particular art is located, whatever department is in charge of that location is responsible for the maintenance. And I don't know whether that really got filtered down, but that's now a part of that Public Art ordinance, and it somewhat takes the place of this maintenance uh funding. Um so that's kind of kind of the background. Uh that and it's changed to Commission on Art in Public Places because um Ingrid Sheldon was the mayor and realized that for the city to really have a control over this, it couldn't be a committee for the DDA, so it became this commission. But it was still Commission on Art in Public Places. Um I think when Allison had the discussions with the Community Foundation, the Community Foundation it's a great place to be able to do exactly this.

Kelly, do you want to spend a minute or two just giving us a sense of where we're going to go next? Sure. So, we are done with the 5000 series. Um, I looked back, I think we started them in the fall of last year, so it was a very long series. Um, we took a few steps away from it for isolated policies we needed to approve. Um, the one that we will be bringing back to you most likely before the end of the year within the series is a slight revision or update to our dress code policy. That is something that we're working through. Um, but we have a dress code policy in place. We might need to revise that policy, but other than that, all the legally required policies or any of the um, previously board recommended policies have been updated in this series.
It's just so calming. Um a couple comments I wanted to leave you with. I had a kid the other day go, "I'm so glad I'm in the afternoon afterchool program so I can be in sewing." Another one said, "Now I don't have to throw that shirt away. Now I know how to sew the button back on the shirt." I've heard that many times. Um, my favorite, the other day, I think I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my rolling chair and I go, I almost died. And they went, don't die or we won't have sewing. So, I think that is my two minutes and I'll leave you with that. Thank you for supporting it. And I'd like to introduce Megan Gerty. She's our coordinator at Hooker Oak and she brought some of her students. Okay, I won't stand here too long. Hi, thanks for having me.
Uh to get money. The Jewel Chair, for an example, um that started out with a memorial at uh Pioneer High School for Mr. Jewett. He passed away and he was an institution in the city and and the mayor, Christopher Taylor, spoke at that and someone afterwards gave an anonymous donation of $5,000 for this artwork and that sort of started it but we had no real place to put that money and so the Community Foundation was a natural place to sort of put that money and raise more money and Marsha Chamberlain raised an awful lot most of it for that and so that's kind of how the relationship grew between the Art Commission and the Community Foundation and why it's the Commission for Art and Public Places but it really is I mean it we are taking the place of that and I think the arrangement was made with Allison the Community Foundation understands that this body that we have today actually is speaking for this and now you know there are other kinds of things that probably are details that are very very important but I just wanted to give you the background as to what I understand how these started out you know and the important thing I want to emphasize is these artwork needs needs maintenance and a part of the maintenance is it needs to be regularly inspected and and evaluated and and and and addressed before it gets too bad.

Um, this was also our cell phone policy we added here. Um, we added our school climate policy here. So, we did a lot of work, restorative practices and so forth within this. So, thank you. I know it's been a I don't even know how many, but it's probably been close to 40 or 50 policies. Um, next we will go to our uh, 3000 series, which is our financial policies. Um, there are far fewer policies within that, probably in the 20s. Uh, uh, in so we will go through that. Um, we will invite Mike Weaver in for some of those conversations because he will be essential to add some of the more detailed discussion on on practice and protocol. Um, I think it'll be really important to read those policies because this is probably a newer area that some people may not be familiar with. Um, that will help us to be productive.

Now we're going to talk about I think Allison's going to talk about Sculpture Park and it's a good example this this arch in in Sculpture Park actually had a little bit of rust on the bottom and you know nobody knew who was responsible and I'm not responsible well that rust just grew and grew and nobody really did anything and you know it was so bad that it had to be removed because it was a it was a hazard to pedestrians and it cost the city I think over $100,000 to repair that when it could have been solved merely by scraping the rust away and painting it that's that's a lesson learned and I want to emphasize the maintenance part of that that's what I know and but I think Allison has a much better view on it. Thank you John um the for providing that context that's very helpful.
