001Thank you. Um, we will now u take action on the close session. Uh, do we have a motion? Um, I'd like to motion that we accept approve the appeal and with the recognition that this is a unique situation where the interd district transfer appeal was originally approved and then rescended. >> I will second that motion. It has been moved and seconded that we approve the appeal due to the fact that the attendance was first approved and presented um >> I >> Laura >> Hi >> Michael >> I >> and I affirm as well. Thank you very much. We will now move on to item 11 which is approval of the consent agenda. consent agenda are items that are of a routine nature that can be uh passed on with a single vote. Um although any
002board member may pull an item from the consent agenda for for individual consideration. Does anybody want to pull anything from the consent agenda at this time? It's kind of a discussion, but yeah, I guess we'll just uh 2.2 11 2.2 board policy administrative regulation visitors outside secondary. >> Well, I'm sorry. >> So, it's we're on number 11. >> We're on item 11. >> So, then 2.2 to pull. Okay. So, you want to pull item 112.2 board policy and administrative regulation 1250. >> Okay. Um then uh we will pull that item and uh we will go I move we approve the remainder of the consent agenda. >> And do we have a second? >> I have a second. >> Thank you. It has been uh moved and and seconded that we approve the consent agenda. Laura,
003>> I >> and I affirm as well. Mr. Fman, you wanted to pull item 11.2. >> Yes, M. I just want to have a discussion about it. We would had a discussion, but we spent some time on this last board meeting. >> Uh, look, it looks pretty good. I didn't see anything abnormal with it. I didn't know if anybody else did. And this is our opportunity to talk about all these things together since we can't talk about it all together on an email. That would be a Brown Act violation. So I was just going to ask people if they they read it and what do they think about it and there was anything else they would like to add or subtract. Since this is a second read and I think approving this would then put
004it in process to be approved into the policy. We wouldn't have a third read for approval. This just approved it. Well, I don't think we have a policy for a third read. Uh we do have a policy for the second read. Um my understanding of what happened at the last board meeting uh tentatively approved this and we're simply breaking it bringing it back for a second. That's why it's on the consent agenda. So >> any further discussion? It's helpful to have it back for a second because we were doing some changes on the fly there. >> Pardon me. I >> Sorry, Laura. Mr. Per, can you wait while Miss Manuel finishes her her comment? Continue, Laura. I'm sorry. Say that was all. Mr. >> I think it's largely been covered at this point. I just
005wanted to remind the board that the reason that it was placed on consent was because the action that was taken at the last board meeting was that uh there was desire to approve it with two changes. Uh the two changes you will see uh are noted in the supporting documents in the redline copy. there was the addition of the word register as well as the change uh based on the language that trustee Gorman had provided us and so we went ahead and made both of those changes um and based on the feedback from the last meeting that's why the uh the second read on the consent agenda everybody likes it then I'm willing to approve it I make a motion to approve item 11.2.2. >> I will second. >> It's been moved and seconded that
006we approve of item 11.2.2. >> I will affirm. Abby, >> Jacob, >> I motion. Item 12 isformational. Um, if anybody has any questions about the information items, would you please indicate so Mr. Borman? >> Sorry I couldn't hit my button fast enough. >> Yeah, you haven't come up. >> I have to go in between screens to get there. So, I did have a question and you guys can help me with the financial snapshot. So when it goes I was just looking at what we budgeted for and then right next to it says what the actuals are and said there was like on the top was 17 million what we had budgeted for at the very top number and then what we actually got was $0. Is that something like we were anticipating getting $17 million
007but we never got it. >> Um So you're looking at the top line. >> Yeah. >> July uh 31st, 2025. And so the budget is what is pro provided by the state through the LCFF calculator. I believe um that the actual year um doesn't reflect that the funds haven't been received yet. Um I think that that has more to do with the category. Um, but what I can do is I can get back with our uh internal business office and get a exact answer for you because I would hate to misspeak here. Um, but the the LCFF revenue sources are uh codified in statute unless there would be a change in the state budget that we talked about when they adopted it that would lower that revenue uh through the prop 98 guarantee. Um, and
008so you know that revenue source, I believe that that is the number that we are set to receive. Um, but again, I would love to be able to get back to you with a more robust answer on that. Then also there's like federal dollars, state dollars, and it says how much we if you go down like how much we're spending on each employee, their benefits, and all that kind of stuff. And are we are we underst staffed on those numbers because the budgeted is higher than the actual payout for the employees? Is that because we need more? >> It's because it's a one month snapshot of So this report gives us the 26 fiscal year which began on uh 71 of 25. And so this report just gives us actual numbers uh through 73125. Uh
009so this number is 112th of what we would expect it maybe to be by the end of the year. Um however that will fluctuate as we add employees or as people choose to go other places. Um this would be at adopted what we anticipated these figures to be. Um and these are the updated actual spending levels through 73125. can't answer. Are we We have a lot of open positions. I haven't looked at the job board. Is that I mean, is that something that's there? Am I reading into it? I don't know. I mean, we generally run an open position list. Um the numbers of it fluctuate greatly depending on the time of year it is. So, like during the summer months, you might have more positions because there's a lot of project share positions, after
010school positions that are difficult to fill. and we fill some of those through the summer months. Um, but I feel like uh we're I feel like that's a hard question to ask. We generally have as an organization of over 400 employees, we generally have several vacancies at any given time. Um, some of the vacancies are in harder to recruit positions. Um, we've talked a lot about how hard it is to recruit bus drivers right now and some of the things that we've done uh to try to incentivize the recruitment of bus drivers. Right now we have three bus driver positions open. That's impacting our ability to fulfill routes. Um those project share after school program positions because they're three and a half hours are oftentimes difficult to fill. Um sometimes our open position list will
011look longer because of that because we might have 70 liaison positions at project share and we might have 10 of those positions open or whatever the number may be. Um I'm not sure if that helps address the question. Yeah, we always deal with that. the job board. See how many you moving on to item 13, we have our student board member reports. We will start with Abby. >> Good evening everyone. My name is Abby and honored to serve as this year's student board member for Chester County. I currently attend Enterprise High School and entering my senior year. I am very grateful for this chance to represent student voices across our county and I look forward to learning, listening, and contributing. Um, so today actually marks the first day of school for us. Um, and with
012it there's a lot of changes that are already impacting students. One major change this year for school in my district is the introduction of a flex period. Um, from what I've gathered, many students are finding this new structure a little challenging to get used to. There's confusion about how to use this time well and some have even raised concerns that this extra period cuts into valuable class time. While I share some of these concerns, I also see the potential benefits of the flex period, such as providing a time when students can catch up on work or have club meetings. This will definitely take time for both students and staff to adjust to. But with clear communication and guidance, this period can become something very beneficial. Although the decision to implement the flex period comes from
013the district and is not directed by the board, I still felt it was important to share. It's one of the main topics students are discussing and I believe it reflects a broader desire for flexibility and balance in our academic studies. And um on a more serious note, vaping and substance use is still a huge issue um particularly at the high school level. Though I've heard similar concerns um are surfacing in some of our middle schools. Despite our awareness efforts, the visibility and availability of bake products on campus to disrupt the learning environment. Um, I know this has always been a great concern of Skoey and this board and I will gladly offer my time, my voice and my connections with the students to help in these efforts. Another topic getting a lot of is attention
014both nationally and locally is cell phone use in school. Um, many school districts across the United States have started to ban phones completely during the school day. Um, thankfully according to my County has not taken that step yet, but many teachers at my school enforced their own rules such as using phone caddies to manage phone use. Um, it is clear that like cell phone management is definitely a challenge. However, I believe that banning phones completely might not be the only or best answer. Solutions that balance accessibility and responsibility could help students stay focused without feeling overly distracted. And finally, one of the fastest growing and most relevant topics in education today is um the rise of AI. While there are understandable worries about misuse like using it to cheat, many students are curious about how
015AI can be used positively. I believe this is a conversation we need to have. Instead of avoiding AI, we should look at how it can be used thoughtfully for learning. Clear guidelines and open discussions between students, teachers, and admin how AI is integrated into our classrooms in a productive and ethical manner. Um, thank you for your time and for allowing me this opportunity to bring forward these students perspectives. I look forward to continuing to serve and share insights from across our school throughout the year. Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much, Adam. Comments. >> All righty. Good evening board and community members. Uh for those I have not met yet, my name is Jacob Garcia. I'm going into my junior year at West Valley Early College High School. But before I begin my
016report, I would like to thank you all for selecting me to be one of this year's student board members. It's an honor to represent the Shasta County student body. And it's such a privilege to do so among such amazing people. Down in the South County, summer was busy for many West Valley students. Over the summer, fall sports were already in full swing. Athletes were practicing dayto-day, and our incoming freshmen participated in orientation and activities to get to know their class and get used to a new high school schedule. However, today marks the first day of school for us and many other schools in Chassa County. Therefore, tonight I'm going to provide an update of how it's going down there. At West Valley, we welcomed 225 new freshmen, 80 new transfer students, and in total, our
017student body has grown to over 800 students. This is the biggest West Valley has ever seen, and we're preparing. But these students will be learning in over 25 dual enrollment classrooms that are on campus. And today, I saw that the hallways are busier, the classrooms are much fuller, but it's exciting to see so many new faces joining the Eagle family. And as the school year begins and we're all adjusting to new our new schedules, West Valley students were introduced to two new policies. First was our phone policy. Our policy states that students may not have their phone cell phones out at all regardless of teacher approval and cell phone usage can only happen during passing periods and lunch. We implemented the cell phone policy about a year ago and this year it became a whole
018lot stricter. Today we also introduced to our new AI policy, one that cracks down and disciplined students who have used AI technology in their schoolwork. And I'm happy to answer any questions on how their discipline offenses work and what we're doing because we're doing an amazing thing um called a preassessment where we're writing a 250word essay so teachers can reflect on that when we're caught with AI. Uh just at West Valley, we're looking forward to a great year. We're going to have filled student sections. October's homecoming we're getting ready for and we're just going to make this school the best one yet. Thank you. >> Thank you both. Those were very very Did you press submit? >> Oh, there we go. Okay. I I commend Abby, Jacob. Thank you so much for your uh very
019thoughtful, very um very diligent work. On first day, you kind of felt like you already had homework and you killed your first assignment. So, thank you. Um I just want to point out to the board that uh AB 3216 was signed in California giving the charge to every charter, every district, every county office in the state to adopt uh cell phone prohibition or limiting policies. Uh and those need to be effective by July 1st, 2026. So, so those battles that uh that high schools are are having with kids, that is a legal mandate for districts to uh to wrestle with effective needs to have something in place by July 1st of next year. >> Mr. Gorman, I just had a couple questions for my kids. little Christian so kids are very creative with getting AI
020blockers they're working harder to cheat than they are to actually write the paper which has never changed in the history of people do that. So, uh, what has been your guys' experience when, uh, at school? Are there a lot of kids using AI to write the report and get getting the creative juice from the AI or are these kids coming up with the creative thought on their own, putting it on paper, and then asking AI to edit? So, I've definitely seen like AI a lot in class. Um, they sometimes even use it for like essays that we write during school, which I don't know how that's possible, but it's really obvious sometimes for teachers to see which essays are written by AI because they they use a certain language and you can kind of tell.
021Um, I personally use for like studying like um maybe making little quizzes for myself for tests and stuff. So I don't find that it's like totally like a bad thing. So I that's why I said that um we need to have this conversation. We need to find like ways where AI can be used appropriately, not just for cheating, like writing the full essay yourself. I just discovered that Chachi PT actually has this um feature where they guide you through the process of writing an essay. They don't just give you the entire essay. So, companies are making these steps to prevent cheating for students and I find that that's probably like very beneficial for the like AI like usage like control in our students as well. So with our new AI policy, I mean what I
022see in the classrooms is I see kids do use AI technology to write things. They do use it to um get whatever they need, cheating, abusing it really what it is. Um but with the new AI policy, they're asking us to run our themes to a platform called GPT0. And it's basically checking our percentage of AI. And they're really just trying to make sure that we're not like abusing it because that's really there's definitely a balance that you can find with AI because it's going to be around for us a long time and at West Valley they're trying to find it and the offenses are harsh. I don't know if you guys would like to hear what we're doing. Um our first offense is an easy one, just a phone call home to parent or
023guardian. And then our second one will be the F on the assignment. And then the next major assignments you do have to write handwrite them and you do lose all your technology use. So you do have to write them in the library with textbooks with encyclopedias like that. And then the fourth offense is fail the class. And if it is a dual enrollment class, they do notify the college about it and the college will handle it from there. So what we're doing instead is we are writing the pre-assessment. We're writing that this week the 250 words so that admin can reflect on that when students are caught with using artificial intelligence. So it's everywhere. People are using it. Kids are using it. But I think most teachers are doing a great job to teach that
024there is a balance and there is Mr. Freeman, I had one more question. >> Go ahead, Mr. >> It's the second part for cell phone usage. So, do you folks think that with cell phone policy makes everybody more accountable, responsible, you know, will cut down on the AI because you have to use your phone for AI in the classroom. So you are without West Valley's main goal with the cell phone policy was to get kids off their phones because especially with West Valley offering over 25 enrollment classes, there is a little bit of free time with homework and finishing on your own time. And I think the main goal for them was to get kids off their phone during class time, but most students do use the AI platforms on their laptops and don't really
025use them at school. So I think the cell phone policy wasn't used to crack down the AI usage. I feel like it was used to handle and discipline all the kids using it during the school time. >> Yeah. So our at least from what I remember last year, it actually allowed us to go on chat. It wasn't blocked. It was blocked for a while, but it came like it came back. So, I think that like at least our county has had these discussions about like the benefits of maybe using AI. So, I don't know. I know some students, they just use AI on their Chromebooks to write their essays for them and just paste it into the assignment. Um, hopefully like can tell if it's AI. Hopefully, I don't know. But yeah, it's definitely an
026issue. It's not just if you ban your cell phone, >> perhaps I'm it's late and maybe I'm hungry, but I'm just curious if your teachers using AI. >> Yes. Yeah. Um >> and is that ironic or is that >> do you feel a conflict in >> I do? Yeah. Um some a teacher that I had one year used AI to grade our assignments but would be very like strict about our AI usage like um so yeah I do see the irony. So yeah >> irony hypocrisy. I I do know some teachers that do use AI. Uh most of them use it for writing emails, summarizing things, and then the leadership class uses it for making images and then stenciling it out on projector. So teachers are using it, but I haven't had any teacher at
027West Valley of using it for grading or anything like that. Okay, then we will move on to item 14 which is the superintendent report. >> All right, we will sorry we'll go fast. Uh all right so this was so last year right? Anything is possible and this year we are all about making it happen. We're trying to uh we're trying to execute, right? We're trying to uh be better and do better and emphasis on doing. So, uh I just want to throw a shout out. Uh we to keep that theme alive. We are going into departments when people do amazing things. Uh we're going in and we're actually kind of going old football hit stickers, right? Like when you see college players, they make great plays and they have those helmets covered in with stickers
028or you go to Mod Pizza and Mod Pizza's like covered in stickers. We're trying to kind of uh market the theme a little bit with stickers that recognize that somebody on our team did an amazing thing. Uh exhibit A. I'm going to hand it over if Mr. Per can press his button and he can tell us a little bit about what's happening in the picture that we see. Yeah. So, uh, late last week, uh, we got a phone call from a partner district superintendent, uh, that the bell schedules posted on their website were not accurate. Um, and so for a district that might not have a huge deal with their transportation because that might just change the whole route, right? Because everybody's going to the same spot. The way that our transportation works is that,
029you know, we service all districts and our dispatch team has to spend a lot of time out routes based on where students live throughout the county, which school they need to get to because you might have five kids on a bus going to five different schools and making sure that their drop off time is going to be accurate for what their needs are. So, it's a big puzzle, right? Uh and so this district had 65 students contracted with us to be on a route. Um and then we were scheduled for drivers to bid on routes the next day after we found out about this, right? And that could impact bids. Uh, and the transportation team and the dispatchers pictured here, uh, Cara and Marissa, they rolled up their sleeves. They, um, they worked really hard.
030They put in some extra hours, um, and they rerouted, um, those lines so to ensure that Shast High School District students had transportation on their first day of school. Um, and so just incredibly proud of this team, uh, and the work that they did in service of students to make sure that all students have that ride on their first day. Love that. So, we're going to try to we're going to try to tell those stories. We're going to try to celebrate when our team steps up. Maybe it's adversity, maybe it's a curveball, maybe it's a situation that uh that that maybe isn't necessarily anybody's fault. It's just uh amazing things are happening. We're trying to celebrate those things. So, I just wanted to do a shout out for those folks uh making making that happen.
031And I' I've given out three or four. So, these these stories are going to be uh they're going to be all over the place. You've seen these things before, but uh I'm about organizationwide culture of excellence, safe and supportive learning environments for all, student success and academic achievement for all, and then community partnerships. Uh we talk about excellence, and here's just a couple of things. Uh since our last July meeting, uh we've had an admin council and leadership planning days, an incredible all call event. Just a shout out, if we can capture that in the minutes, a shout out to all of the folks that made all call happen. I believe we had uh 437 people attending Shasta College on that day. Um check out the cool shirts, right? Make it happen. So, uh just
032trying to help with that that messaging of the theme. I do want to something that I shared at all call. Um, juvenile court and community school is no longer called Juvenile Court and Community School. It's called Try Mountain Academy. We've actually requested the name change through the California Department of Education and it has been granted. So, henceforth and forever, we will refer to those students as try Mountain Academy students. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to think about why, right? Kids make mistakes. Kids are sometimes uh they they they lose some freedom because of the mistakes that they make. And then a lot of folks uh serve their time and because of transcripts are kind of branded so that everywhere they go after that that juvenile court and community school is on their transcripts.
033Now by as juveniles they do not need to we do not need to disclose for future college opportunities. We do not need to disclose those things. But the transcript discloses and that's not right. So Try Mountain Academy doesn't communicate that, right? It gives every kid every option. So it's a simple thing, but yes, just today I stopped by their office and gave them a made it happen, right? That's a that's a cool thing. Uh our LCAP review team is making progress on the instructional and fiscal side. All LCAPs come to our team for review and approval. uh fiscal team is working on closing out 2425. And if you remember the conversations that we had, there's some work there because we are having those conversations about how we might be able to spend down some of
034those funds. So, we have a first interim commitment to bring things back to the board to be able to share, hey, those fund balances that we've been looking at, not just the ending fund balance because I know that we've had those conversations, but some of those funds we've had earmarked and we just haven't had expenditure plans. And so as we close out our 24-25 school year, that fiscal team is working extra hard to meet the commitment to that they that we made to the board that at first interim we'd be able to bring some of those suggestions to. So hats off to the to that team there. As we think about safety for all, cool picture. Those are bus drivers working on first aid CPR training. Um but we are we are looking at AED
035installation and training in every Skoey building. So this is Aya Tucker's Aya Tucker's world with safety our safety director but this is this is a scoiewide project right we are identifying people that will be participating in trainings these are going to be AED cabinets installed in every building Mr. Ross was here actually uh last year, two years ago, he had a staff member that had a cardiac incident and an AED saved his teacher's life. And so when we hear those stories, we think about our own family. We think about our own Skoey team and uh those AEDs are going to keep us safe. Um professional development in the area of safety. We have emergency procedures for all of our Skoey buildings that Aleen is collaborating with our departments. We have department specific supports, the picture
036tells it. Transportation and bus, they have unique needs. They have unique safety needs. Car's world with our Kerry web and our student programs, they have unique needs. And so, we're we're identifying what specific uh trainings are needed across those departments. And then as we look out with community partners and with our districts, uh we we're we're revamping that quarterly safer schools. We are looking at a development of a safer shasta series. So you'll see a year planned community events aimed at keeping kids safe in Chassis County, right? So looking at internet safety, remarkable conversation that we're having with common sense media and looking at like how we can produce some things that are going to help kids with the dangers of exploitation online, right? Um all all kinds of cool things that are happening. And
037that's just that's supposed to be a teaser. I'm not even I'm not supposed to tell you any more than that, but like development of safer shasta series. I'm excited about that. And then countywide consistency. When we meet with our law enforcement officers, our law enforcement partners, this is probably number one concern. Can we get consistent mapping on our campuses across the county? Can we get consistent signage on our c campuses across Shasta County? And so obviously we don't have we can't force every school to do the things that uh that we would love for them to do, but we are in the process of developing those relationships and helping everybody see that it is in our best interest to keep kids safe if we can have some consistency across the county as it relates to
038areas of of emergency response and training. So cool things happening there with safety on the success. I just want to I want to just leave it right here. Dolly Parton Imagination Library is launching. You heard from our friends at the library and our friends from First Five Shasta. Uh in our student programs, we have first day of school picture today. That is a book vending machine at Excel Academy right at our K8 Excel Academy. We've got a new book vending machine. So again, literacy is that focus and we are trying to we're trying to attack it from all kinds of different angles. Uh these are things that Wendy talked about, but I just wanted to make sure that as a good community partner, we are blasting these. So, thank you Carrie Shudy from the communications
039department trying to get anybody and everybody that is in town to be able to participate in some of these events with the uh the sentenced screening on September 4th. Lots of support. Um we've got our our SULPA. So that's our our special education um local plan area. Thank you. Local plan area and I I apologize for the acting room but SUPA is uh they have been busy this August launching with admin with teachers with pair of professionals. They've had a they've had a liftoff training series. Uh we had cowpads boot camp. Cowpads is our statewide data system. Turns out there's like 14 or 15 new people in our region and this is a super complicated world of state data. And so we said, "Whoa, 14 or 15 people that have never done this before. How
040about we hold a boot camp?" And so they they recently held a boot camp in this building to to help those folks. Uh math coaching. I I know we talked literacy, but math is 3565 in Shasta County that you're proficient. And that's not okay either, right? So, we've got some team members that are working really hard to change that, change that approach. We've got new uh curriculum adoption happening with math this year. So, there's a lot of things happening in the math front. Uh we have seven new superintendents in Shasta County. So, my team, Shasta County Office of Education, opened up our doors and said, "Come on over. Let's have some donuts. Let's have some coffee. Let's get to know you. Who who are you? And let's hope your let's help your hopes and dreams
041come true for your district." Went around and made that they had they knew the the folks on my team that can help them with some of the things that they have as challenges. And that led to me being invited to Millville's ice cream social. So, I got to take my wife on a date night to Millville and we had some ice cream. It was good. Uh also led to Dan Moore, the new superintendent at Oakrun, invited me to talk to his staff at their welcome back retreat that we actually hosted. So, some some great partnerships happening with Oak Run. Uh we've got the Champions for Children event that talked about and then this is that Christy that consultant service with the Mountain Union Whitmore merger. Uh Eric Stevens is here. That Christy White consultation service
042is going to be pivotal when it comes to the SQUA and all of those all of those things. So I wanted to make sure that that was on people's people people's radar as well. Uh support I just want to highlight a couple of exciting things with Wes. I don't know if you've heard but I need to do a better job if you haven't. Leadership Reading has chosen West's Leadership Reading is going to have a back to camp event October 25th at the Anderson Fairgrounds. I'll get the information to you, but this is a West Camp fundraiser. The leadership reading has said, "We are all in to help West with the rebuild." So, all the proceeds from that evening and they're going to recreate West at the Anderson fairgrounds in like Fisaro Hall or one of
043those halls. We're going to we're going to experience everybody's going to go back to camp. So, it's super cool. Sorry, I think that's a 21 and over. Apologize. Um, we've also we've also had an opportunity to write a letter of support for a grant that they are applying for uh through the California Wildlife Conservation Board. And the financial the the grant ask is financial support to to uh attack some of those those need areas. There's some limitations. we can't do student housing or we can't do some of those things but they are uh they are being very aggressive in uh seeking out other grant funding sources. So I just I commend everything that is uh that that the West Foundation's doing. Uh on the support front, we h we hosted here in in in our
044place actually early childhood, but uh the UPK leadership symposium brought brought folks from all over the place. Ada Rapaort working with Lesa Sigura and all kinds of amazing people made that happen. And then that's a little uh little flyer of regarding the the Sula launch training series with special education for site administrators. And we saw that, right? We saw the importance and the need for helping site administrators run affected special ed programs. Uh and then this is that champions for children that's going to be uh on the 6th. While I might not I am not going to be there because I will be at CSBA in Monterey. Make no like Skoey will be well represented. our team members will be present at this event and uh it's it's an incredible day at Turtle Bay on
045September 6 and that is going to be the launch for Dolly Part are are are directed to to sign up it any questions sorry Austin >> yes we get an update on what's going on Uh yeah. So change in superintendent and Rick Foss uh we have we have brought Rick Foss in as a fiscal adviser as a fiscal adviser and he has been there he was there last year and we are continuing that partnership. Rick Boss is a retired uh longtime retired superintendent, school administrator, and he is bringing his experience into work with the new superintendent and the board. Uh work our district fiscal services. Donell Evans works very closely with uh with the the new superintendent and the board on all things uh budget related. And they are they are working as a staff
046to drive to try to drive increase in enrollment. They have a current appeal. There is a penalty that they have been assessed and they are appealing that uh penalty to California Department of Education and we do not uh we do not have an update on that decision. >> Thank you, Mr. >> I just wanted to uh provide a little bit of an update on top of what uh Mike shared about West because I can imagine you could be sitting here about them about fundraiser and we're having fun in fun balance conversation here, right? Um and Wes is something that's import incredibly important to our community as well as to our organization. Um and so just wanted to give you an update on if you remember in our in fund balance uh there's a couple of
047line items. There's $1 million uh in the fund balance as well as $800,000 in RDA pass through funds that are earmarked for West. Turns out it's harder to give the federal government money than you would think. Um, and so we are working through the process of being able to find a mechanism to give uh the National Park Service that 1.8 million for the building of the administration site. Um, additionally uh what we are doing is uh instructional services uh and Claudia might be able to speak it to it better than I could. Um, but I do know that there are efforts going on uh to figure out like we know what operation of West overnight camps cost eight years ago. We know that costs have risen significantly since then. And so we need to start
048reimagining what are those services going to look like when West does get to the point where we're ready to offer those services and provide those overnight camps to districts and how we might be able to subsidize those programs with some of our infund balance. And so I think that's part of the conversation that we're hoping to be able to bring at first interim is to talk about a plan for West moving forward. And so I just wanted you to know like as you like West hitting the ground on the fundraisers. That group is doing a phenomenal job. West community has raised so much money and we are a partner at that table trying to figure out how we can use some of our inund balance to help support that effort as well in order to
049make sure that you do that. >> Manuel, >> I'm wondering about this Champions for Children. It's at Turtle Bay and typically Turtle Bay charges admission. Are they charging admission for that event? >> Uh, no, there is no charge to admission. Uh, we there are going to be booths um as you walk into Turtle Bay. There will be booths throughout uh and there will be reading sessions happening in the park. >> I heard that the kids get in the parents have to pay. >> Oh. >> So, I would just hope I mean because one of the key parts of the Dolly Parton library is that it's for everyone. You know, it's not So I would hope that there's no barrier there. Let me text. Sorry, I'm a really slow texture. We will move on to item
05015 which is a board discussion. Item 151.1 is a proposed resolution in support of student success. All right. Did my little button go through? Okay. All right. So, I wrote this resolution because I would like the Shasta County Board of Education to take some to take a leadership role in some of these issues. You know, encouraging school attendance, fostering partnership with parents, uh the science of reading to support literacy, uh banning student cell phone use, supporting requiring community service for high school graduation, upholding professional tire for teachers, and also for deploying roing administrators in schools to help prevent some of the issues like vaping, fighting that goes on and just, you know, other student discipline issues. I think that these issues line up with, you know, our mission and philosophy as far as encouraging student
051success, even the theme of making it happen. Like I know we can't direct student or direct the districts to adopt these things, but I think we can show what we stand for. And so that's kind of why I wrote this. and I'd like to hear what other board members have to say on this. >> So, can I ask a point point of information? So, not my comments, but this >> Yeah. Yes, Miss >> So, um I'm curious how you like if we were to approve this resolution, I'm curious how you think it would be like what how would we use it? What kind of actions and reactions would you expect to receive from? >> I I'm not I don't know if I can speak to the reactions. I would just say like we're taking kind
052of a leadership role to say this is what we think is important for our community because I do believe that we have some excellent schools in the county and I think if all the schools adopted, you know, even half of these things, they would be even better. And so I'm kind of just trying to take like, you know, a proactive step and saying like this is what works, you know, like these these things do work in other places and I think that they would help, you know, just to show other school districts what we're doing. That make sense? So I actually spent a lot of time thinking about this and I really thought about it. I really appreciate the thought. I think overall the things that are listed here, where do I have it? Um,
053a lot of them are things that I personally agree with and would like to see school districts kind of move in that direction. I think where I have a problem is that I recognize that we don't have the authority to make a school district do any of these things. Um, these are really like decisions that a school district board would take on. So I think from a practical perspective I kind of look at it and see like well what what would be accomplished? I thought if we were to approve the resolution I don't see any school district saying oh let's do that because county board did it. I think what I worry about is like the reaction of districts saying hey local control we're you know, what is the county board telling us to do
054and trying to control us? And I think I guess to me, um, something that's really important is that the the county office has a really good relationship with its school districts. And I really want to make sure that continues, that we're seen as being the county schools office is supportive and we work with collaboratively with school districts and we're not coming to tell them what to do, especially if it's something like a, you know, dress attire for your staff or some of the other thing like the community service requirement, grad requirement for that. That's a pretty good that's a pretty big deal for a high school district to decide if there's another going to be another requirement. And I wouldn't want us to be telling districts to do that. Um, but I do agree, like
055I said, there are a lot of things that I personally agree with. And I think that um the county has has done some of this work, but not through a resolution. Like we, you know, certainly with the evidence-based reading instruction, we've been on the forefront of that of helping districts move that direction. Um, with attendance, there was a there was a summit right in this room that had um it was community wide. It had law enforcement, it had tribal leaders, it had educators, health professionals, all sorts of people in the community. There was this big summit and um from that some really meaningful work was um came out of that and that was all started with the Chast County Office of Education. So, I think there's there's ways maybe to address it, but I do
056have a concern about doing it via a resolution because I worry that school districts would see it as being this heavyhanded office of education. Mr. I do the Michael I've had an opportunity to talk to you a little bit about this and um I would just want to make sure that it was uh I do agree with with some of the points and I would just want to make sure that um I I was on record stating that our staff that we do have control over as far as in our student programs they are incorporating a lot of these So I I do not want this to be reflected at all anyone looking at this uh not attending the meeting as a rebuke on our staff not necessarily meeting the I mean our folks are
057roving right when we look at some of the things that are in here um I think that taking a stand and and putting something down on paper is is powerful I don't want it to be I don't want it to to land with with my personnel as like a review. And so I would just I would just love to double down on some of these things and and state that uh where possible my staff are doing these things when the conversation that I have with you the graduation the community service requirement and graduation is difficult when you're working with incarcerated youth right so like some of these things uh could be a challenge if we were to look at language like requirement. I think I think beliefs I think guidelines and principles to guide and
058direct maybe what this board feels is a priority or important. I think that all the more all the more power to be intentional about those things. I think in the spirit of what works that's that could be a pretty comprehensive list and I think this is this is a great start. I'm sure that individual board members probably want to add add some things. So, I just I just want to make sure that the record is clear that uh our our staff, while not perfect, are doing a lot of the things that you >> Thank you, Mr. Freeman. Mr. Gorman, >> Mr. Brown, I asked a couple, you know, constituents what they thought about this and everybody seemed that these are all great things to aspire to. Uh the community service uh requirement, my my kids
059at Ren Christian already have this as part of their deal. That's part of what our school does and I think every school does it a little bit different, but you know, it's a good opportunity for high school kids to give back. Different times of growing up, different schools had like a capstone that they had to work on for graduation. It' be great. that to be tied to community service within their own community where they're giving back and they're working with people every day. I know our board members have talked about community service as well when they've been up here and it's always good to hang out with your fellow county folks and do some really cool things. So, I'm all for the community service part. the banning of the cell phon that's like a hot
060topic but now it's getting signed has been signed into law so next year people have be very creative with their policies they're going to follow that sign but uh I've seen even coaching sports people want to pull out their cell got ahead and put that in your bag you know uh there's times to be on your cell phone there's times not to instructional time you only have so many education minutes in the day in the classroom. So every time you get a text or a notification that takes you away from learning, it's just another distraction in the classroom and you only have 45 minutes to learn something. You know, it's not very much time and it would be good to have responsibility. So all these things I agree with. This is like a first read
061and bringing it back for a second at a different time. I'd be agreeable to someone. >> Thank you, Mr. Roberts. >> Oh, did you finally get me? >> It got down to you finally. >> Well, I was just going to say I totally agree with the community service and even with the the kitchen juvenile hall, there's certain things that they can do for the community. certain time isn't somebody at a community service. There's all kinds of things that can be done because I think community service is very very important. >> Thank you, Mr. Orick. >> I I'm just saying I believe this is things that we support. I'm not I know it's not policy and I know it's not like And I agree it's not meant to reflect the staff at all. It's just things
062that I thought we could say that we support and aspire to. I think um author used that word. That's a that's a good thing. It's not I know we can't tell anyone to do it, but it's just saying these are things that we think would make things better for schools. That's how I'm looking at it. It's a resolution. It's not a policy. Thank you. >> A little controversial topic. Um like the cell phone one definitely. Um the community service. So I have a different perspective on that. If we require all high school students to to do community service, I do know some schools that do that. There's only a certain number of community service like like opportunities in our like community. Um like from my personal experience because I volunteer at Mercy Hospital. So that
063counts as like my community service. A lot of you prep like they their school requires community service hours to to graduate and they all of them like led the um Mercy Hospital like volunteer positions and I guess it's like the most accessible to them. I maybe there's more creative ways to have this community service like the hours put in but a lot of students they're busy. They have work, they have responsibilities and sometimes it may be difficult for them to find these creative ways to fulfill the like requirements if we are requiring a community service to graduate. Um yeah, so that's my perspective as a high schooler. >> Thank you. Um interject myself into this list. Um one of the issues that was just brought up cell phone use that's been mandated by the legislature.
064We have to hold hearings, public hearings involving parents, students, community members. And since the past to involve community members and students, I would like for you to student board members to consider a student on this on this issue so that we can get honest forthright opinions from the students in Shasta County about this this policy that we will by next. So wanted to throw that out there. Miss Manuel. >> Yeah. I kind of wanted to just follow up on what Abby said because like I said, most of these things I do are personally things that I support, but the uh a graduation requirement of community is not one. I think it's really hard for high school kids, especially if they're doing sports or they're doing music or they already struggle to get all these things
065in. Um, and then some kids are working and there's just like a real disparity. Um, some I know that with that Yoseite Institute when my kids were in um high school, you could go to the Yusede Institute, but you had to do a certain amount of community service related sustainable friendly things. And it just became this check the box kind of thing of these kids trying to go out and figure out where to go to do it. And it wasn't they weren't really gaining that idea of servicing their community and connecting to your community. It was just like, you know, get it done. And then some parents had they were involved in a program and their kid could get right in there and then others couldn't. And it's just I don't know. It's just not
066I don't I don't see that as a great way to teach about connecting and being a community service. I do think there's ways to do it and I think schools should look for opportunities where a whole class takes on a project or something like that. It's probably more meaningful, but um just to have a oh here's another thing that you got to do and are you really going to hold back a kid that meets all the requirements? Oh, they didn't get their community service done so we're gonna hold them back from getting a diploma. I'm not sure that's the best Thank you, Mr. Oricki. >> I mean, I don't if you're I mean, we're not saying there has to be a certain amount of hours, but let's just say it was 10 hours per year.
067I'm pretty sure anyone can fit in 10 hours of community service over a span of 183 school days. I mean, that's what minutes every day. if you averaged it out. So, and there are dozens and dozens of places you can do community service. I mean, I mean, probably hundreds. So, it doesn't even have to be combined to Shasta County necessarily. So, I don't I'm not sure that the time is a real issue if it was something like just 10 hours over four years or over 183 school days. So, that's my thing on that. And cell phones, that's already the law. So, it's not really I mean, yeah, it might be technically controversial, but it's it's done. Like, it's not it's not something that's going to go away at this point. >> Thank you, Mr. Roberts.
068>> I'm not sure if maybe I'm completely way off here, but when you do community service, it's for the community, right? And that would involve something as little as my neighbor needs to have her garbage can taken out. It takes what? 35 seconds. Um, it does I don't think it has to be a specific amount of hours, but what it is is it gets you involved with it's not all about you. It's about your community. It's about your neighbors. It's about being out there, stepping out, jumping out there, and helping out your community when they need help. It's about going to the nursing homes just to say, "Hey, merry Christmas." That's what it's about. It's not about I got to get my hours at the medical center. Oh my gosh, I don't have time. Hey,
069you know what? Helping out at the rodeo grounds, helping out, you know, at doing doing tickets there. That's what community service is. That's what that is. It's not something that you're demanded to be in. It should be a privilege. That's the way I look at it. >> Thank you, Mr. Garcia. >> I put in my request earlier and I got what you guys saw as community service. I just want to throw my student voice out there that it is hard to I think it's 230 credits to graduate within certain subjects at my high school and adding say because I know Anderson new technology has a community service requirement of 10 hours within their senior year and I think adding that on top of a student's workload because some students they have their sports they have
070their clubs they have their everything and that they have their work, but they're schools. I I see that schools have clubs open and they have outreach open, they have leadership open to invite kids to participate in the community and to give back to something bigger than themselves. But I feel like if if we throw out what we stand for, it's kind of like if we require students to fulfill a requirement for community service, it becomes a meaningful community and becomes a requirement to that at that point. Is it really community service? Is it just another assignment? That's what I'm coming from. And I think that having a community service requirement as a suggestion is not something as a student I support for. And then the cell phone policies, that's a whole another thing with the
071law. Obviously controversial. It is said and done. There is ways to crack down on it. There is ways there's a balance. there's ways you got to teach it because later on in life after high school graduation there's got to come times where you have to have that responsibility within your cell phones and I think that starts within the schools where you're supposed to learn where you're with phones that's time I'm happy to answer any questions you guys have about that >> thank you Mr. Yeah, just a point of clarification. So the language in the resolution um again proposed open for discussion um but uh the law regarding cell phone is prohibit or limited. So it's not necessarily that the ban is the law. Um, I think that to to Jacob's point, schools could be very
072strategic and intentional about teaching kids how to be successful and use them as tools, but the law basically says districts, charters, county offices must develop and approve a policy that either prohibits or limits. So, it's not a straight up ban. Just wanted to clarify. Thank you. That's the end of my list. Um, something that that's on the resolution, the proposed resolution, um, that hasn't been uh discussed in any detail is is encouraging parents to parental cooperation in in the education process. Um, that's something I think we could start in prek and and and and get parents more involved with educating kids. It's too frequently parents throw the kids in school and expect the kids to the schools to educate the kids when we know that parents are the number one teachers of their children and
073we need to help parents understand that that's the responsibility Mr. I like your proposals. I think they think that they they uh have generated a very lively uh discussion and I I appreciate you throwing out this sort of thing because this is how government is supposed to work and I want to remind everybody we are government. So if there's no more discussion on the proposal, we will go on to >> I'd like to make a motion can't take a motion on something that's noted of information and maybe this is for Tom. >> So how do we get this as an action item for the next agenda if we don't make a motion? I think the place on the agenda is your traditional spot for board member feedback where board members can propose that items be
074placed on a future agenda. Would that meet your needs? >> So you're saying under item 17? >> Yes. >> Okay. So item 15.1.2 Board reports correspondence or comment. Does anybody have a board report or Roberts? >> I have a comment. So, I've been listening to some I've been kind of doing some uh background or checkouts on CTE and and just some other stuff that I see going on. Micro has a scholarship program. Um, and I've been listening to a lot of Micro stuff lately. And one of the things that he was saying is that there are thousands of jobs, job openings, thousands of them. We don't have enough people to fill those positions. Mainly because go to college, go to college, go to college. We got nobody out there that wants to do welding. Nobody
075out there that wants to do electrical. Nobody out there. Well, I can't Okay, I can't say nobody because a couple of my kids are electricians and welders. Um but there's not enough because everybody's supposed to go to college. Okay. So, he's started this um scholarship program to get these kids out there learning these trades so they can actually go straight to work and start making money without a buttload of debt. Um I don't know if there is any way that we can open this up to the other school districts. I mean, I called every school and let them know, but it's a $5 million scholarship. if I'm not mistaken, he puts out $2.5 million a year to help these kids get back get into the trades. So, another thing that I was looking at too,
076and I sent um Mr. Freeman the copy of that, the link to it, um the county superintendent down in Southern California, I'd love to be able to see our school district into um teaching entrepreneurship and making sure that budgeting is in one of some of our classes. I'm I'm a huge advocate for entrepreneurship. I would love to see some of these kids get out there and start their own businesses. So, I don't know how to go about that, but that was one thing that I've learned um over the last month is just really listening to some of the stuff going on. >> Thank you. manual. >> Yeah. Um I just wanted to say Mike already talked about it in his report, but I really enjoyed attending the all call. Um even though I got a
077parking ticket, but I think it's kind of a cool event and just the you get to see all of look forward to that. And I really like the um when they were showing those videos, the video of the and I don't know his name but the bus driver. I thought he gave such a just such a moving video and when he was talking about kind of measuring the value of your life and what you've accomplished in life and just like did you help the child it was so powerful so I don't know if there's any there's Carrie sitting back there if there's any way to it was pretty long if there's any way to squeeze it down and share it with the community that >> Thank you Mr. have a couple people that I met
078this this month through different different resources, but one I shared with folks in the email, the Smart Start Nutritional Program with Maggie Brown. She's trying to increase nutritional positive outcomes for children statewide, countywide, citywide. She lives here in Chast County. prestige. She's just looking at ways to give backward people get awarded candies, cookies, snacks, ice cream, all that kind of stuff. Instead of doing that, healthy options coming diabetes we see going up somehow teaching parents lower so we don't see later on so I appli this last month I always volunteer at last camp nurse really nurses this year. It was really fun. But doing that, I know that our they offer overnight camping up there since I was a kid. Our program doesn't have the opportunity camping right now until science a while sticks different
079our students. It was a lot of fun. And so they have a lot of opportunities up there. And then the other one I wanted to address, we all got an email about this to me. It looked like a ground violation. Tom got July 23rd responded to that in the past. Anything that was likely all was to be considered a ground violation. We don't we decided not to take action on social media posts or anything but when we reply all in a group of people whether it's something that's on the agenda or off agenda I think we should be really careful and maybe you guys give us some education and guidance on that because all the board members meeting and all that kind of stuffing to educate us on that. So, and the lawyer brought it
080up on the forget his name, but he said if we are communicating in an email about future meetings about the times of meetings, that's not a Brown Act violation. But it would seem that if it's under our jurisdiction, that would be a Brown Act violation if we're talking about things that we actually have jurisdiction over. So, it's like, okay, well, there's I don't want to be committing Brown Act violations because my email I shared with you guys there's certain like time frames you have to reply to all this stuff if it is a ground violation eventually goes to the VA don't respond appropriately >> hi everyone did the button work you came up um Jacob and do you mind if Thank you. Go ahead. >> Just wanted to make sure I knew how. >> You're
081on. >> Couple three thoughts for you. Um, first I want to be cautious about trying to give a legal opinion in any depth in the public setting. So, I'm going to confine myself to some general comments. Second, there's always, you know, a lot of details to to get into about Brown Act and who what to who and reply all and all that. But but third, what I will say is I agree with author that generally reply all emails are to be avoided because they can easily um turn into a serial meeting. It goes beyond just discussing time and place of meetings, things like that. I think the thing to keep in mind also is that discussions that are not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board um are not something that you can generally
082violate on. So for example, if we were to have a discussion about zoning variances or housing, we don't have jurisdiction. So it's something that board members can discuss. following ground but I'll go back to you know the first point I made which is it is you know generally not recommended all I think the issue there was something wouldn't show up on your subject of information >> so so we're talking about sports camping, treats, vacations, we can just start replying all like a freefor all because you're saying it's not under jurisdiction. So if we're just a little chitchat here and there, we can just talk about anything. >> Well, the the concern that I have is schools have a broad jurisdiction. So if we're going to be talking about a particular, you know, um professional sports
083franchise that certain members sitting at the very fond of and discuss the merits of that football team that's not under your jurisdiction but it can easily go over sorry not to be making fun of Mr. Freeman um uh but you know it can easily slap over into something related to school athletics so that's why it's hard to draw a straight line >> Mr. university. >> I just wanted to point out um I like what you said Teresa about the CTE pathways and everything. Um I just want to point out that West Valley, our motto is preparing every student after high school graduation. And over at West Valley, most of our students are encouraged not just to go to college. It's not all about college. It's to have something after high school graduation said about welding
084and like everything. If you ever get the chance, I don't know if it's allowed at all, just to come down, check out what we have at West Valley. We have CT programs, diesel technology, welding. So, it's a great program. I don't think, you know, all hope is lost like no kids want to do trades and everything because we have multiple job fairs. We have the universal universal a trade institute that comes every year and they show off all the trade schools that they offer. So most schools in our district do set up kids for things after high school graduation, aren't just college. So it's amazing what we have going down out there. >> Thank you, Mr. Mr. Freeman. >> All right. Uh really really quick I I I would like to reiterate or emphasize what
085Jacob did say because I think board field trips could be kind of cool and that is something that I do get asked a lot like what are schools doing about trades for every one for every 10 people that are leaving trades one person's going in. So as that as that trade workforce is aging and retiring they are not being replaced. So I think that schools are I mean when you look at our own mission and vision statements we look at college and career and I think schools are doing uh some pretty phenomenal things around career technical education. I know uh West Valley I know uh Gateway Shasta Union High School District and actually at Enterprise their construction program is is remarkable as well. So, uh, also Laura, I just forwarded you an email, uh, regarding
086your ticket. If you take a picture of your ticket and send it to that person, it will be cleared. So, hopefully you haven't paid it. Uh, also to Teresa's point, thank you for sharing the video and I can include that in my next board update and pass it along. There is a financial literacy requirement now in California. So I think shifting even from economics to more personal finance and so in the in the spirit of of of business ownership. Um and then author thank you for the uh the information that you have been uh sending on a couple of things. I am scheduled to be with superintendent on August 27th for our first meeting and I think around that unite camp I think it would be a great opener to say what does camp replacement
087look like and and having opportunities and options for districts to pursue so that they can keep kids in those residential overnight science camp experiences. And I'm going to uh Tom's digging my team. Thank you. It's the end of the list. So, we'll move on to item 16. which is reminders of upcoming events. September 4th, we have the movie Sentenced at the Cascade Theater. Um September f 5 through 7, we have our county board conference in Monteray. September 6, we have the Champions for Children event at Turtle Bay. And September 24th, we have our special board planning session, which will be 8 a.m. next week. in this building. So come here item seven down at the bottom or uh item 17 board member meeting feedback. Mr. Warman, you uh suggested that we bring resolution in support
088of student success practice action item. Is that correct? >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. So I was this is the appropriate time. I was going to just make a motion. That way we have a whole month to reflect on it. Uh read it, see what we like. You can even make edits the next would be appropriate. But for now, just I'd like to make a motion to bring Just want to see resolution in support of student success. Item 15.1. So, I'd like to make a motion to bring back the proposal resolution support student success as an action item for our next regular schedule. >> That's the manual. >> Yeah. So, um two things. I wanted to really welcome Jacob and Abby. It's great to have you here. You just took off running. You've already got in
089your strides. Just you're going to be a great addition. I'm really to have you on the board with us and if there's any way that I can support you or help you, please don't hesitate to ask a question. And then but author just uh talked about bringing this back as an action item. It's like how do how do the other board members get involved because this is Michael's and so maybe you know Teresa mentioned CTE maybe that should be something on here or other board members have priorities or would want to say it in another way. So, how does it how does everybody get to play on that >> point of order second? The motion is on the table. I need a second after the second discussion. It's not an actioning as an >> point
090of information's there's not an actual way to bring it as an action item. >> We've always had the uh custom and and by law that any member can make that suggestion at this point meeting >> it's it's a suggestion but will it be added? How does that happen? What's the process? You made a motion, correct? >> I made a motion, but they're saying there's no motion. >> I'm a little confused what >> I mean. So, it's one of those conflicts we have between our bylaws and Robert. So, Robert's rules, >> right? Um, thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, I think this is falls in a little bit of gray area between what your past practice has been and what Robert's rules requires. Robert's rules, you made a motion to bring new business to a future meeting.
091That's a valid motion. typically would require a second and then there's discussion. Um I think little informality is acceptable if the board just wants to skip having a second and discuss the merits of of Mr. B's motion and then question. So what I'm trying to say is you can go either way and Miss Manuel made the point that that we all need to be involved in creating this and she asked the question how we do of information. I'm just asking for clarification on procedure. So I made a motion in doing a motion there's complete motion. So are we following Robert's order? I mean, I have a point of point of information on that, too, because it just it seemed like to me, my years on the board, unless something was listed under the action item,
092you could not have a motion on it. So, to bring up a motion now, but now it sounds like you can't do that. So, I'm I'm confused, too. >> Mr. President, may I speak to it? Yes, sir. That is the one thing that does not require an agenda item is for board members to ask for agenda items to be added to a future meeting. Um so it is customary to do it either at the end of a meeting with a specific agenda item. Your custom is to do it at this point feedback. So it's acceptable under act to say I would like staff to put something on the agenda at a future meeting and under Robert's order fine a motion second discussion and then a vote if needed or you know informally just general consensus
093okay fine it's next a you could do it either way if you want to Robert's rules it's a request to add an agenda item motion second discussion I hope that helps. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Has been moved and seconded that we bring resolution in support of student success back. Sorry. As an action item. >> Yeah. Mr. I mean, I I view it as when you discuss an action, you can make amendments or modifications to it before you vote on it. So, wouldn't that be how that could be taking place? So, you have a month, you would have a month to think about what should be added or what should be taken away. So, you can make motions like I move that we remove number seven or whatever it is and then
094we pass it that way. Then, number seven comes off of the resolution and then that's would be passed. That is how I would look at it. I don't think I'm incorrect in saying that. So, you know, if Teresa wanted to add a CTE one on there, she would just make a motion to I move, you know, I move that we add a CTE or what we support CTE programs in schools or something like that. So, that's how that would take place in my that makes I mean, I know it sounds sloppy. I I can I can yield to someone else, right? If it's my time. Yes. I I can yield to you. Yeah. >> I mean, that makes sense. That's how we normally do it. But when you're doing something that involves writing, then it's
095not just Are >> you yielding back? >> If I may make a suggestion, let's bring this up. We will have time to discuss it. The motion is to bring it back for September 10th. >> I'm moving. >> Oh, you're to amend. >> I guess you have to ask for a second. So are you saying to bring the discussion of what Mr. wrote to the September 24th meeting? >> The special board planning? >> Yes. >> And not to the regular board meeting >> because we have more time to discuss because obviously this topic does take a lot of time. >> Yes. >> I mean It's not a simple thing. Multiple points to the question >> and like exactly what Miss Laura got it. So sorry, Miss Laura said that we do need to have every board
096member's feedback on it, not just one board members. And I see I see your point by saying that that September 24th meeting we would have the time to get every single board member's opinion on what we're writing and what we believe in. I second. >> So it's been moved and seconded to bring back to the board meeting. >> Yes, M. >> But at that study session, we usually don't do any action items. Is that a problem? Hi. >> No. >> Author. >> Hi. So the amendment would fail. Yeah. So the amendment fail, right? But the original motion still >> Okay. So, so just to be clear, we're we would rather have this at a regular board meeting rather than session. Okay. Then we will move back to the original motion to bring it to the
097board at the September 10th. Is that the right date? >> Board meeting. of information. So, we're voting on whether we are bringing this back to the regular schedule board meeting. Correct. >> That's what you as I'd be in favor of that. >> I author >> No. And I abstain. >> What's the reason for abstaining? >> Because I think we're talking about the the process and not the actual That was an objection that I had originally to the Roberts. Just a little bit. >> We still have >> Laura. Laura's up. Actually, Tom's up next. >> We're good. Thank you. >> Goes to Laura. Next up. Okay, Michael. And then I have I was just saying I think this meeting went pretty well. We had a session item that took a very long time and I think
098we worked very well together to get that accomplished and uh yeah, it's been a a long meeting but I think everybody did great and I think and I thank the student board members for participating because it's really nice to get you guys perspective. We have uh no one left in the queue. So we'll go to our item 18 which is our next meeting which will be September 10th here at the uh PDC. And with that, we're done. >> Turtle Bay will be $2 charge for non-members over 13 years old.
