008we bring [Music] [Laughter] So um good evening uh President Rose members of the board and Dr skinner uh it's that time of year where we are busy all around and this evening I want to give you a quick update on LHCA's happenings we've been doing um a few different things this last month and I wanted to share with you what we've been doing so on March 19th with spring break at the capital aa sponsors it and uh so they have two different weeks and the week that we were on spring break um Christina Musleman and I went down and we were able to meet with our legislators we reached out to them uh Representative Basuchi um responded and we were able to meet with him senator Angus did get uh back to us but she
009was in committees in the morning so it was hard to connect with her and then while we were uh in the galler the gallery waiting for the committee um on the whole uh Representative Glette was actually up there speaking with the hygienist students from the Bullhead campus and so we made sure we introduced ourselves and told him we were uh you know on campus uh but while we were meeting with Representative Bizuchi we asked about several bills that uh will impact our district he did write them down and state if he will get back to us our number one concern of course is Proposition 123 um I am asking everyone in the room and that's watching um to reach out to our legislators and ask them to get this moving it is has not they
010there's a house and there's a senate bill and they have not officially crossed over there's a lot of construction still going on with it which I understand and I know Representative Bizuchi did state that it will pass but our big concern is it sunsets this year and which means the funding ends and so we want to make sure that it gets passed it gets passed with you know the amount of money that we need and then um it gets to the ballot because this is a constituent vote so we need to get it on the ballot it's not They passed the bill to get it on the ballot so this is not just passing a bill and getting it out there and so we need to get it on the ballot and then we'll be
011working hard to get that passed um along with HB uh 2169 uh which was the school board uh meetings uh that I gave to you before HB1 1427 which is the school board administrative instruction requirement i told you that was my favorite um SB1472 the school district uh three-year budget requirement um and 1502 which was that literacy endorsement for uh our K12 special education is the expansion of it those are still moving they have been crossed over they are um moving towards um the final say but while um in the last few weeks I've noticed one we had a strike everything amendment which was on the pledge but now Now that bill is HB2725 which is in front of you the bill now reads it's a competency requirement for social studies for grades 6 through
0128 um with our current structure I'm just concerned about um I've shared with you all way sixth grade is at the elementary we hit reading and writing and arithmetic hard but our history and our science does not get the full instruction that um we would love to be able to instru so that would be the concern um with that bill that yeah it would include sixth grade so uh and then this one recently passed the committee at the whole and it is on the way to the governor's office it's HB2484 and that is the school uh policy on internet and wireless devices i know we have policy already in place but this might be expanding it and then um it was it was when I watched the videos um because I had to watch them
013later when they're not live um but they actually uh referred to the anxious generation book that we are reading uh as a district so and as a community so I thought that was that was what kind of uh pushed that bill and then uh the final bill that is SB 1091 it is on school bar uh bonds and overrides the nice part about this one and I was really pleased to see it is that it adds the language um for continuing tax in the past when we've ever had to go out for a bond or an override we've always had to say it's a new tax and then we had to educate the community that this is not a new tax it's just a continuation and so that always was just an issue and so
014the fact that that language is there is nice so that's our report on our spring break and legislation and then um on March 27th we invited our AA organizational rep uh Matt Nichols he came to speak to our members regarding our LHUSD policies um state statute and federal laws with everything changing I just felt it was really important that he came and spoke to our members just as so they understood like our policies and our procedures and so they felt really comfortable after uh being in the meeting and so I was um I just wanted to make sure you all were aware that um we are rehears well rehearsed and we are trying to make sure everybody is on our policies um and then lastly which is what I'm really excited about is this weekend
015four of us will be attending a mediation training um which is hosted by A.E.A in Phoenix the uh focus is on conflict resolution to help build and strengthen working relationships with our students the staff our parents right all members all stakeholders the goal is to help increase morale reduce absentism and create healthier relationships among everybody so that's I was just really excited that I wasn't going alone that others are coming they're choosing to go with us so but that's all I have for this evening thank you thank you all right at this time item 4.1 the consent agenda i need a motion i move to approve the consent agenda and I'll second yes yes yes and there is no discussion items just to confirm there is no call to the public signups this evening right
016thank you moving on uh to our discussion I'm sorry our action items 6.1 governing board Thunderbolt Middle School principal this evening we um have a recommendation that has come from the committee and uh I will be reading the recommendation this evening and then our board will take a vote uh this past week Lake Havis Unified School District hosted a principal selection committee to review qualified applicants for Thunderbolt Middle School principal position we are thrilled to have a strong turnout of qualified applicants for the committee to interview the committee was comprised of three certified staff one staff three certified administrators and three community members the interview process was facilitated by Dr rebecca Stone and the board will be voting on the committee recommendation this evening in making this important decision the community parents and staff were
017surveyed to determine the ideal qualities of our next principal and what they need to possess the survey results indicated a desire for an exceptional leader who is experienced and has middle school experience and can support in improving academic achievement student behavior for all students but particularly those with special needs the survey trends also revealed a need for a leader with a vision on reviving the school's extracurricular programs and increasing school enrollment with these ideals in mind the committee is excited to recommend Mr michael Skinner as the principal for Thunderbolt Middle School for the upcoming school year mr skinner has a strong history of leadership serving as an administrator in elementary middle and high school settings serving as a school counselor and also a director of student services and human resources his depth of knowledge and
018development developmental challenges unique to the middle school or or uh age group will allow him to support students staff and families on successfully navigating their adolescent years and prepare for a smooth transition into high school the committee was very impressed by Mr skinner's ability to clearly articulate a strong vision for supporting increased student achievement outcomes his understanding of the individuals with disabilities education act and his student centered focus he brings over 20 years of leadership experience to Lake Havsu Unified School District and is well-versed in analyzing assessment data increasing student achievement outcomes providing inspiring feedback for staff and implementing effective discipline models to maintain an orderly and productive learning environment mr skinner's depth of understanding of childhood and adolescent development and his commitment to building strong relationships to positively impact long-term success will be a
019tremendous asset to Thunderbolt Middle School it is with great enthusiasm enthusiasm that we recommend Dr skinner to the principal position at Thunderbolt Middle School where we know his experience will make a tremendous difference the committee um at this time I'd like to open this up for discussion uh from the board um so uh just to clarify Mrs barney will be finishing out the remainder of this school year and then Mr skinner will take on the duties beginning for the next year correct correct okay yeah and also want to clarify as the president of this board uh we do want to be totally transparent this is the husband of interim superintendent Dr melissa Skinner um Dr skinner was not part of this process um she was kept out of the process the entire time um Dr
020rebecca Stone um and the other committee members handled this along with human resources and uh so we thank you for um your patience during this time and and uh transparency and and uh so we just want to be totally transparent know that she was not involved um in this process and and not only that but none of us normally in a hiring committee um at least one board member is present during that panel none of us board members were uh participated in this and that was by design um I know that we have three new board members and then of course our superintendent is new as well and so u these are people who are becoming known to you in our district but still are relatively unknown but the decision um and this recommendation from
021the hiring committee was people who you do know and who you do trust and who we trust to make um impartial and objective recommendations and this is uh they recommended Mr skinner so all right is any other comments from the board all right we will need a motion at this time i move to hire Dr skinner for the middle school principal position can I second yes yes yes yes item 6.2 we'd like to welcome technology this evening doing well i'm a little rusty this has been a while so bear with me is your mic on i believe so there we go how's that a little better good okay um I'm not sure how much introduction it needs uh do you want to just go ahead and read the item would that be good okay so

032our updated uh versions of the policy from our work session i want to thank um all of my fellow uh colleagues for all the hard work that we have put into this and uh all of you who attended our work session um especially our administrative team and teachers um to give input and uh to our food services department your input was also greatly appreciated and um through all of these policies so tonight first presented uh the governing board um now has before us the uh no the no DEI policy prohibiting diversity equity inclusion initiatives ensuring that educational success is based solely on merit academic performance and individual effort is there any discussion at this time i'm satisfied with the uh changes that we made and I'm not going to deliver the point i do disagree
033with the definitions that are offered in here um I prefer to get my definitions out of dictionaries um but I'm going to leave that part alone is there a way of displaying the definition or Okay or I could read it to you i see some people who probably weren't here for the work session okay yes it's the green part that I'm referring to so I I don't agree with the definition but here is um why I will be voting for this policy so um on item number seven there's a provision that says that any current programs curricula or initiative subject to removal based on this policy will be reviewed by the governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting prior to its removal so um we are going to have the same level of um public
034inspection and transparency prior to removing that we did prior to its adoption um so I am satisfied by that one thing I will just say that what makes me nervous about this just in general um is that diversity equity and inclusion is meant to protect our most vulnerable citizens um I'm thinking specifically of special needs students special needs students are already the last thought of and the least thought of in our society and I worry that this is pulling back a level of protection um when they're already at a disadvantage i do have confidence in the leaders of the school um during our work session if you were not here we talked specifically about hiring practices we have an HR department that I am confident will implement fair policies whether there's a rule telling them
035to be fair or not so this policy for me doesn't necessarily um target specific individuals i have confidence in the individuals that work in our district if I didn't I I would say something um but I feel like rolling back diversity init uh diversity equity and in inclusion changes the way people feel about our institution as a whole that's what makes me nervous i will like I said at the beginning I will be voting for this because it does have that level of public transparency prior to removing anything that is currently in our schools thank you member Vermont any any other discussion for that just just briefly the the definition that we've included here is because DEI has gone from dictionary definitions of those words to an ideological position around those words and this definition
036goes after the ideological position and not definition um we already have a diverse campus uh we already have people that have bought in and have community equity in this the community is here that is equity and inclusion we are inclusive of everybody we have been a board that has brought more discussion than I think anyone else has and so we are going to continue that but this definition attacks the ideological stance um and that we will not be using that ideology in this district awesome thank you uh Vice President Houston um member Tennis anything no um I I just want to state before I call for a vote um I want to say I'm proud of this board for coming together and being able to work through um differences of opinions and I just want
037to remind everybody we don't always have to agree on on issues but we got to be able to to have discussions and conversations um not only is DEI um doesn't belong in schools um number two we have received letters from the federal government government stating if your school districts do not have DEI policies we will the federal government will cut off funding that has already began in some school districts in the valley and uh so I'm thankful for this board to be able to work together and now at this time I will call for a vote i move to approve 6.5 i second yes yes yes all right item 6.6 new safety uh in in locker rooms restrooms sleeping quarters policies this clearly defines the uses of facilities to promote privacy security and consistency for
038all students um I'd like to open it up for discussion at this time all right no discussion i thought again I just want to highlight one change that we made um this is already during our work session again we were able to talk through how this um practically is implemented in our schools our schools already really do this i mean providing children with restroom access has not exactly been the riddle of the space i mean we've been able to get children to do be able to do what they need to do in an appropriate way um we are we did add one um exclusion to this policy so it does not apply to athletic teams if um for after school sports so a lot of times you know the visiting team if there if there's
039a boys basketball team they're using the girls locker room this policy would not apply in that type of situation all right thank you member Raman any other discussion from I I just want to thank the staff that came and gave us their perspective so we had a better understanding of how this actually worked without that perspective uh these policies cannot be refined so thank you and I hope that all the staff that came and and more staff will come out in the future so thank you thank you and and I just want to say again thank you to um our staff our administrators teachers um coaches who um even our our uh gym teachers who came and gave us input and helped us really um finalize this policy we have a duty to protect our
040our daughters um and we are going to do that and our and our sons um we we live in a crazy time this this is again it's already been happening here um that now in conversations with some of the administrators um there were some gray areas on the overnight stay and they were thankful that we were able to kind of strengthen that and uh again I want to thank you to my colleagues for uh working together on this and now I call for a vote on item 6.6 i move to approve 6.6 i'll second yes yes and item 6.7 a new no grooming and child protection policy it establishes clear guidelines to prevent inappropriate interactions between students and adults ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment free from exploitation i'm going to now open up
041for discussion to the board so again just This is something that we covered during our work session but this is strengthening an existing policy um this is policy 4-202 we already had a list of appropriate boundaries between staff and students to govern that interaction and make sure that there wasn't um grooming behavior or any sort of predatory um behavior happening in our campuses so this does strengthen an already existing policy i would like the minutes to reflect that my yes vote is a re reaffirmation of of current policy all right any other discussion all right at this time I call for a vote i move to approve 6.7 i second yes yes yes all right at this time item 6.8 second reading of updated policy 3-201 facilities the governing board proposes the following language be
042added to policy 3-201 facilities negotiations for the sale or lease of any district facility may only be done by the governing board or their design any design must be appointed by the board and any negotiations must be approved through a final vote of the full governing board um open uh 6.8 for discussion all right you know we've had some confusion recently on who's negotiating on behalf of this board and I'm glad that we can put this into policy so that any entity uh that wants to come to the table with a district property or anything knows the proper entity they are dealing with and that is this board no one else so all right any other discussion no this definitely gets rid of some confusion for sure especially for future correct all right to approve
0436.8 i'll second yes yes yes item seven 7.1 remarks from uh Dr skinner our superintendent so had some amazing visits to campus all the department and hearing from our department and our principles regarding the needs that we need to look at to make our schools number one and be successful as we possibly can outcome it's been a pleasure to be able to meet with everyone that really trends together in the future we appreciate our campus administrators for all the hard work they've been putting in as well and and I just want to say thank you for hitting the ground running as hard as you have and it's exciting to see that you're already bringing ideas and recommendations to us on how we can improve and become better so thank you and keep up the good
044work and and I just want to say thank you for um working alongside Dr stone so Dr stone and and Dr skinner are working together as the district moves forward and uh we're thankful for that collaboration of two great superintendent minds so thank you um at this time 7.2 any uh discussion from the governing board members or announcements all right i have two things I would like to bring up this evening um for our next meeting I would like us as a board to begin to discuss um school safety uh school safety is extremely important in visiting some of our um facilities um There are some concerns in meeting with our administrators and our facility directors and um we have a um an obligation as a board to make sure that our students and our
045staff and our teachers are protected and so I would like us to begin to look at a school safety audit for all of our campuses and our district office so often um people will do a school safety audit on campuses and completely forget about the central office so um I'd like us to to begin that for in our May meeting to um open up for opportunities for that to just strengthen our safe um schools and uh do great things for for our students teachers and staff in this district um I will say for some of our schools that um you have aged buildings um we we I hear the comments Starline and have a Supai specifically start going and um just know that um we we are beginning to have those conversations of what can
046that look like in the future to to improve those those situations so uh to those teachers administrators staff in those buildings thank you for your hard work and uh we look forward to doing great things for you and strengthening the safety of every facility in this community that belongs to this district so thank you um number two um we um as a board would like to start coming to individual schools to do a work session um to all of you in this building uh this evening in this meeting that are a teacher administrator we want to come to your school and hear from you every school is different and uh what we're able to do for Oral Grande is not the same needs that Havupai has and we understand that each school is serving different
