001ing of what they're voting going back to your point around you. So, we're voting for 23 policies tonight and we just know the titles of it. That's the that's the bizarre side, but but maybe it's four. I guess my my message is what you don't want to do at this point. You don't have the luxury of having long debates about words in these policies. Doesn't mean you shouldn't understand what they are and what they mean. My view would be four or five at a policy committee gives authenticity to it. Your community says this is a board that still is being deliberative a policy board but understands the urgency of getting these policies adopted but they're aware of what they're approving. That's that's what how that's four to five for the committee which meets once a
002month. That doesn't mean four to five every two weeks if the committed meeting additional times because that does not give the staff member preparing them time to be as prepared as Dr. Saki the idea that we have to have multiple meetings a month which just said or that doesn't that that that just points out the fact that we're not giving them the time to actually go through the 23 policies that we ne that we didn't have in this district. They have to become familiar with them. they have to make sure that they can relay this message to their staff as well. And if we're doing if we're rolling out 10 policies a month, it's it's it's not feasible. So, I just want to we can do five a month and I think that's that's a
003heavy lift, but but we're good with that. And and but 10 a month. Yeah. Just to get them out for the sake of getting them out. I I will give I will give all the policy to the chair, you know, but one of the things you guys have have to understand with policy policy guides the work that we do with inside the district. And so we have to go through and make sure everything is is is the wording is correct and then not not changing the policy. They if you look at this model policy has an underline said put the name of your district in there. So we have to go back in and put the name of the district in there or the name of the person or the position. Those are the types
004of changes that we're making to them. We don't change anything else because most of it is just legal, you know, uh jargon that that is Cape is providing us. And to your point, those are the conversations that Dr. Avery and I have had over the past several weeks about the policies. So he isn't. So it's important that he understands them and prepares them for the and then and then my staff Dr. Safy have never really done policy. I used to do policy as a school superintendent as an assistant superintendent. I wrote policy. I mean I helped to draft the policy to give to my superintendent. And then when I got it my people did the same thing for me. But we also one we take it one step further. our cabinet. We bring we bring
005policy to cabinet for review, making sure that this is something that you're gonna we're going to have to enforce or make sure that you know people are following and we get the blessing from cabinet and then we take it to the the chair. So, we've done enough we we're doing checks and balances internally in order to make sure that when I give them to uh the chair, it's all vetted out. You know, especially when you start talking about like grading policy that is so in depth. You're talking about GPA and things that we do on a daily basis. The boys shouldn't have to be able to do. That's why we have our people doing it. That's what Am I correct? You're you're correct. So that's what I I'm just going by what I used to
006do as a policy, you know, administrator, giving it to the board. We want to make sure it's right for you guys and and then I want you to be able to say this how it is and and and we and not that we go oh no like that but we yes we we we accept you get a man. My only other point would be I think strategically is again as a superintendent with your cabinet you you want to identify what policies where you're most vulnerable get those first then then the next level get those then it doesn't have to be alphabetical order I mean you have to make a thoughtful decision like when I said title n get that one done first in this world see January with new president so we had to flip
007back to the old one and get get it back into play. Six months working on a title N, you know, and rip it up. And a lot of that six months he was at his desk looking at title N policies around the country. When we do policy and we talking about this is not something that one person wants to be of the policy. I know they're going to come from other den whatever you know. So sometimes people they think because the policy oh this is the way we're going to do the committee going to you know vote both the chair but people sometime they don't understand that they have to understand the public it's the old me you know we have to be in the same age to approve the policy approach with the doctor
008too you know so because sometime they get scared you say oh we going to change no is that we say all the time and I say all the time this woman not that and nobody else us the board members. with the same thing with the policy thing, you know, usable members. We have to sit down, we talk and discuss, you know, what like to change what you know of course everybody be in the same page, you know, want to say that people sometimes get confused like only the committee will take that and I don't want people think that. Okay. Thank you. Are there action items for now to next week? Um, the only thing is I'd like to solidify what the goals are. Actually, I I got your email already and I Dr. Aber got
009your email already so I can start to sort of pull them together. Um, send it out I guess the two of you to start with and you can disseminate them. Um, make sure it's reflects what people want. I I don't know. I mean, we could have a further conversation if we need to next time. Although, I really don't want to take time away from the conversation we have. And they like, can we is it okay when I send them out to the board members discuss whatever, but maybe at that meeting just announce what we decided that we out there? I think that would be good. Yeah. Do you have another board meeting um next week? Um maybe some committees. I was I was think I was thinking there was a way of the board like
010voting to say we endorse these at that meeting if we'd be ready for that. But if you if you collect them and people aren't objecting we can we can make we could put a item next week to endorse to I just I know the states really interested in seeing the results. So I'd like to have something to send them so that they don't meeting special meeting. Well no it is a special meeting. So next meeting we could just add an agenda item. vote on the goal on the but if it's okay if they ask I'd like to say that their four goal areas share the consensus but that they're not worded act exactly the way the board in place can do it yet. Yes. But this was agreed upon your reading. Yeah. Well, we had
011to journ. Um so we'll take a motion to adjourn. A motion moved by Mr. In favor, seconded by Mr. Bunningan. All favor say I. Any opposed? Y so interesting. The meeting is ending on 94.
