Um, but he strongly encourages the board to consider returning to at large voting rather than continuing with the current trustee area system. While the California Voting Rights Act pushed many districts towards trustee areas, the reality in many of these communities has been fewer candidates, uh, more constrained seats, more appointments instead of elections, and much smaller pool of people willing to serve.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification there. So, you you could just see a couple of items here that we thought it noteworthy to to pull out for people who have not been paying attention to the SATs and PSATs, the the style has been reconfigured in the last few years. Mr. Hill thought it was important that we know that the math portion at least is what he would term semi-adaptive, meaning there are two sections of the math PSAT and SAT and depending on how a student performs in the first section, that second section is adaptive.

At large voting allows the entire community to participate in selecting the full board. It burdens the candidate pool and increases accountability to all families in the district and helps ensure trustees focus on shared community priorities instead of geographic silos. Uh also uh recent court decisions have also emphasized that electoral systems should not be built primarily around race but around geography um continuity and true communities of interest. So um keep that in mind because those maps were drawn based on race which has now been decided to be unconstitutional. Um, the other thing that I would like to talk to you guys about on your agenda is the Native American studies. Um, at first glance it looks like a really great program. It sounds positive. Most people would nationally support students learning about their heritage, culture, traditions, and the history in a meaningful, respectful way. Unfortunately, these studies uh we just had a presentation done just on Sunday.
