023yeah that that's additional money that's actually coming from the county freeholders that was they had left over that they didn't use and they they basically gave what they had left over they portioned it out to school districts for reimbursement for of our PP stuff how did that affect our bottom line did that did that fill the Gap that we needed or are we still in a huge hole we're still in a huge hole I think in total mik would they give us 20,000 uh they talking anywhere between 20 and $35,000 depending upon how many districts applied we applied one of the earlier ones and they kept extending the deadline so you know everybody can apply and get it all right and how much how much reimbursement have we gotten all together between local and federal

024um hold on just ballpark I don't need to i p oh actually noine could just want to eat food the fem Grant is uh still pending right we didn't have takes a while obviously right um but we have the uh regular cares grant that we got District direct that was uh better way I think it was $600,000 but I want to give you the exact number it was 629 629 and then we got the cares from the the county and we got what they called a CRF cares Relief Fund which was direct money another 93,94 that's that's what offsetting our child care that was for the child care child care cost that's offsetting all our costs for the child care that we've been doing okay thank you just like I said the hair under 800

025or so over and the theme is still pending so we haven't heard anything back because they thought Co was going to be over and it's not so and supposedly they're they're changing the rules as it comes so I do not expecting a lot back in that okay thank you I have a question on 11.9 can you walk us kind of through what the evaluation would look like and also how how often do we evaluate our program like when was the last time we had we did something similar or have we done something similar okay you're talking about 11.9 yes all right 11.9 is um those are for child study team um independent evaluations so those those are things that are um parents parents may may request um an independent evaluation done outside of our people

026number one or number two if we don't have say a bilingual ldtc we may have to contract out to a bilingual LC to do something or if we run um you know uh bilingual preschool evaluation if we don't have a bilingual person we need to you know contract that out um these the costs that we would pay for those things and this is this is the cap that we have on those costs if somebody asked for an independent one um this is all we would pay so basically this is kind of like a dual full thing it's one it's what um what we pay when we go out if we have to have somebody come in and help us and number two if somebody asks for an independent that's what we're going to cap it

027at for an independent one as well so it's kind of a to thing any other questions okay Mike roll call sry yes Mr ball yes Mr B yes M Muson yes M Martinez yes M Morris yes Stevens yes M Rano yes Mr Val yes with the exstension of check 37207 and 37278 noted and M the fio yes thank you carries other matters to come before the board or new business I can't tell if you're talking or not Michelle no I you know it's just I turned to my husband said I I had something I wanted to say and I got distracted and now I I it'll come back to me at some point so just when it does I'll let you know okay this probably isn't exactly the right moment but I I wanted to

028say that I really enjoyed the online student um teacher I mean the parent teacher that's what I wanted to say it was kind of amazing how how easy it was and I'm not great with this kind of stuff and it went so smoothly I got to talk to everyone didn't have to stand in line didn't have to run up and round and try to find the rooms and had really quality conversations with everyone so I appreciate that how well that went I'm so glad you said that because that is exactly what I was going to talk about um yeah I I mean I don't know if in the future that would be like some sort of model that we I don't know what as far as attendance for for for teachers did most parents were

029they able to to get an appointment that needed one or there parents that were left without a slot I mean how did that go I honestly don't have an answer on that what I'll have to do is I'll have to ask the principles and and kind of get you that data I'll have it for um next month is that okay yeah because I like I said I agree with I concur with Miss Stevens that uh I have never met all of my high school P you know teachers because I'm I'm busy waiting online or running back and forth I I split the load with my husband and he's running in One Direction I'm on the other um so I I I will say just signing in one right after the other was it was wonderful

030so Kudos anything else before we move on um if you guys are okay before I do open to the public um we we have to move um we have to do an approval of the hibs um since it's an approval and we're not doing any reviews i' like to do that now if that's okay yeah that's fine okay so we're going to move to approval of Hib cases middle and elementary resolve the bber Board of Education uh approves the resolution Solutions is outlined in approval of Hib under middle and elementary schools and that is 6.2 Mike can you do a roll call oh wait I need a motion motion Mr second Mrs Martinez now Mike can I get a roll call sure Mr yes Mr ball yes yes m m yes is Martinez yes Morris

031yes Stevens yes Mr Zano yes abstain and and Mr fio yes thank you so we're open to open to the public for discussion and right now we have nine responses so first one is Tatiana 625 Thompson a Thompson Avenue I miss Clash Dojo our next one is from an Marie gonado 15 151 West High Street we need to bring back Dojo it was much more user friendly and easier way to communicate with teachers and get updates younger kids are asked to check calendars mailbox daily they are getting district emails as well as assignments for all classes this calendars uh change during the day and if they don't check again they may not know it's tiresome and stressful for them not knowing what may change from the morning to afternoon parents are overwhelmed with emails this

032takes time some of them away and allows quicker communication and more clarification uh next one amarie gonado again I know that this been asked several times before but can hyperlinks for the board meeting also where ask questions be posted on a district website asked Mr devido to do that last time this came up um it said that it would be done and it hasn't happened yet I will talk to him again about that uh next question is Amry gonado again I know it's been asked several times same question so we'll skip that one um Melissa Portillo 675 T Street um it has come to my attention I think this the same question we had before uh from the other part of the meeting it's come to my attention the board is trying to place Mr

033R community school she's helped so many families as smly who need trans translations why we even consider moving her elsewhere to a smaller school that already has a secretary staff who is bilingual we have discuss Personnel um Patricia O'Reilly 745 Schoolhouse Lane do you think it's prudent to extend remote learning from November 30th to mid January what are the chances that students will stay remote until the end of the school year until June what criteria will you allow students to return in person instruction in January is there any chance that students will have a full day of school eating at their desks the original plan when they return in January or is this a lost cause is the protest from the teachers union the main reason why kids can't have a full day of inperson

034instruction if so what criteria has the teachers union given to the Boe to allow students to have a full day of instruction and in general what is the criteria that will allow kids to have a full day of school private schools have been open more than public schools during this pandemic do you know why this is the case lastly why was a decision made to have Boe meeting fully virtual um there's a lot of questions there I think I'm going to get back to her at with uh or written reply if that's okay with the board well I think um I I'm okay with the written reply but I think that if you're going to to do that that at the next meeting that you should share that so that the public can hear the

035responses to those questions as well absolutely okay we can just add it add it to the minutes if you would like yeah but I think they need to be heard that's fine but I can put it in the minute yes I mean if you if you want me to I'll go one by one right now I mean I mean I I no if you I think that if if you want to have a thoughtful response and that's fine I don't mind waiting I just think that if you're going to do that that the next time that comes around that it that it's shared publicly so that anyone who might have those same questions would like to to hear the answers yeah and that's no problem I can do that okay next one is TR Riley

036nursing homes are now requiring all people entering the nursing home to get tested on site every day they using the test that will will give results of 15 minutes is there any possibility that this will come to the schools I have no idea on that can I also say the rapid 15minute test is only 50% accurate so like they could give them to the nurses but it's not as accurate as a regular covid test is which is I think 85 to 90% accurate I also would think that it would be cost prohibitive unless someone else is paying for it I that seems like a to test everyone every single day is just I think I I I think that would just cost too much well not only that it would be extremely timec consuming to

037try and test everybody every day just think about how timec consuming is trying to get people in through the temperature checks and everything else um now imagine 15 minutes per person at the door just say all right um the next one is Su Del ke from the high school as the board the next board meeting will be the reorganization meeting I would like to thank Mr orchy Mr bone for their service as Boe members um next one is Kelly Helman small school picking back on the board members the virtual parent conferences were mostly successful this year in getting in touch with almost all of my students I enjoyed the format so there's one teacher who is very positive about that um and that is all I have for public comment all right I I just

038wanted to um respond to the uh the first few using Class Dojo and I have to say I know I I I know that when we originally spoke about it that um the use of the Google Classroom um you was so that teachers were using that the Google classroom and and I agree I think teachers should use um the platform um that's provided as far as um giving feedback on work um grades and all the rest of that but as a teacher that is fully remote from my seat um that I have both and I got to tell you that the the class dojo like every morning like I look in if there's six or seven kids that are not in my class yet I get on dojo I'm like your child is not in

039class yet and within within minutes bing bing bing bing bing bing like all of a sudden like people go they wake up their kid they're oh you know I didn't wake them up I didn't know they were and then they're supposed to come after back after lunch and and I go your child didn't come back after lunch and all of a sudden I get like I don't always get them but you know the you know Google classroom doesn't do a text it doesn't it it's a different it's a different type of communication Dojo is for like communicating you know like things that you need to be communicated that are time sensitive like I need your kid now because whatever and I I'll be honest it's it's a free site so I I I don't know

040why we wouldn't encourage any type of communication now now that I'm in in the whole thing um I couldn't live without it honestly as far as I every day you send out a thing your child has not completed this homework and it goes out a mass thing to all the kids that day that did not complete their homework and I'm sending out 15 at one time you know and at least I feel like you know I there's a daily communication that they don't have to go look at an email they don't have to go open something and it it's just a quick way for me as a as as a teacher and and I'm teaching in the fully virtual world since September it's to me it's invaluable honestly it has an autot translate function it's

041it's so much easier as a parent I've got so many emails and notifications I start to ignore them it's background noise but you don't ignore Dojo it it's like an instant message or a text I just I just think being able to text them and say your kid is not here and they'll be like oh I forgot to wake my kid up and and all of a sudden I now they're there if I hadn't had that thing that kid would have missed school that day and Michelle it's it's it's free yes okay if it's another option that will make this situation smoother for parents and teachers I don't see why and it's not it it wouldn't cost the district anything I don't see why we can't bring it back for the short term yeah I

042would I would agree as well being here with with two guys getting multiple emails and having to to navigate through and find it as opposed to something that alerts you I mean I need I need I would really like something a little bit more proactive only because you know we as a teacher at home with my own students I'm constantly checking their stuff now I've just got two more things that I have to ly check and if an assignment gets put in right after I check it then I miss it till the next day and then I feel like a bad parent because I didn't see it and obviously my son is four so he can't read so it's not like he can check it himself so it really falls on me to check lots

043of emails lots of streams and it's as opposed to Dojo which just sends it right to my phone as an alert and I know right away what I need to do so I would agree so what's the disadvantage of Dojo I mean other than the rationale for using all Google platform which getting everybody trained and using that consistently which seems like a good idea why would it be in what way would it be contradictory or problematic to use Dojo as well I just think it becomes a another thing that the teachers have to do because they're going to have to update more than one thing constantly yeah but I don't I think it should be by choice right I mean if a teacher is looking to use the dojo if they're going to use Dojo

044then they're not going to use classroom well no I mean they have different uses I'll be honest Dr Gallagher what I use my classroom for is for inputting class grades doing all my work I post all my work on the Google Classroom right on the stream on the on on the classwork my Dojo is for like hey your kid needs to show up they're not here why are they not here like I can't do that on Google Classroom that it wouldn't go to the parents by the time a parent got to the Google Classroom to even see they already know their kids's not there like so it's they're two different forms of communication and I can see making sure that the people that I definitely agree that they should be using Google Classroom to put

045their assignments on to put the explanation to put um anything you know that supports the the students and the families in and having what they need uh for their lessons but Dojo is more of a a communication of of hey I need you to immediately go get your kid out of bed and they need to come to school I mean I I can't tell you every single day two or three times a day hey they left the meeting is everything okay are you having Tech issues no I just and then they pop back in so that's what I use it for well again and I think from my understanding of things was that they they were using it to push out assignments and everything else so they were not using it solely for just communication

046well then then you can different differentiate between those two things I agree that the the platform of Google Classroom should be for the academics for the for the uh you know for the assignments if because that's what it's there for right I think Dojo should be the informal communication of hey you know like I said I just sent I sent out every day in the morning your kid did not do their homework last night and and I just put all whoever didn't do it and it's just one little and that's all it says and it's just it's then then it's up to the parent to go into with the kid to Google classroom and figure out well what were were supposed to do last night and so that's what I'm saying I just think it's

047the informal Communications invaluable in this in this virtual world because we can't meet face to face at pickup and the teacher says you your kid hasn't turned in their homework for the last cut we don't we're missing that face to face and Dojo sort sort of bridges the gap between face to face we're able to talk it it's and and I understand and again I will we have a principal's uh meeting tomorrow and I will bring this up with the principles tomorrow and we we will discuss this along with um Google Groups which I thought was what the teachers were supposed to use in place of um Class Dojo and see if that's being utilized or not so I will get back to you on this okay anything else all right um we have to

048go into executive session at this time so we're going to Executive session um when we come out of executive session there will be no action taken so we'll be um dismissing from executive session so we will be signing off of YouTube at this point in time so we're going to Executive session under number one number seven and number eight so can I get a motion motion motion Mr five you second second who said second Stevens the stens second all in favor
