Copper State, there we go. I wouldn't know what other districts are doing. Um, I do know that certain services get provided to members. So, I'm not sure if that's something that's something that we would probably have to ask Copper State. Um, but I'm not sure what other districts are doing, but I know that this is available to members and it's part of the advocacy um work that they do on our behalf. I mean that I like it. Obviously, you've heard me talk about what's coming down and how bad it is. So, I I'm all for speaking up and standing up. So. Yeah, and it just talks about fully funding IDEA. It talks about, you know, opposing any proposed reductions into K-12 education funding, uh all these things. So, it looks like we all went ahead and were able to read it. So, I'm going to go ahead and make a motion.
I move the governing board approve a resolution on F20 FY26-27 education funding. May I have a second? I second. All those in favor? I. >> I. I. Any nays? Hearing none, a motion passes. That brings us to our item B, legislative political report. Does anybody have any political or legislative updates? I mean, the update is that we are at a standstill right now because nobody is actually at the legislature. So, in case you didn't know, Mhm. they've taken a recess until June 1st. So, people must go on vacations before they decide the budget. Um, so that's what's happening now. Vanessa, right? We'll see what happens. I have no problems meeting with you guys from a volcano. >> [laughter] >> Great. Yes, to be continued on our budget. All right, um hearing no more other political legislative updates, I uh that brings us to future agenda items.
Do we have any future agenda items? Oh, and then Ms. Juarez, we can just take away the CSA model resolution since we went through it today. Just an update, we are going to be doing a board self-eval in June, so if you guys want to know how the board is holding themselves accountable to the student outcome focused governance, you guys can watch that board meeting live. Any other agenda items? Um yes, I'd like to add a discussion on uh uh district-wide policy on device use. Okay. And then Ms. Juarez will give you the proper documentation for that to fill out. Okay. Hearing no more future agenda items, I move to 15A motion to adjourn. May I have a second? Second. All those in favor? I. I. I. Any nays?
Oh my god, she could wear this on the other side. That is totally I mean, malicious compliance. Mhm. Oh my god. I don't know if they're going to need this. I don't know if they're going to need this.

Above all, I would not be who I am today without God and my family's steadfast love. My mom and dad especially have guided me with their wisdom and encouragement and more support than I could ever name. All of our families have shaped us into the people we are today, watching us grow, and giving us advice we might not always want to hear in the moment. Here at the Village, we are blessed with an entire second layer of support through our teachers and friends who have made lifelong impacts on our lives. We all came to the Village for some reason, whether it be athletics, demanding activities, or just to be out of a traditional school setting. I transferred after my freshman year at Rampart, and it was the best decision I ever made. We often hear people refer to the Village as fake school, but we know the truth.
Please remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance. 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. Please be seated.
