002comments are limited to three minutes please state your name and address prior to prior to making your comments please note that members of the board may not discuss items that are not specifically identified on the agenda therefore action taken is limited to directing administration to look into the matter responding to criticism or scheduling the matter for future consideration and i see i have a request from mr jim davis to speak yeah yes sir my name is jim davis i reside here in all at three two one with sixth street uh i have um something i didn't prepare any notes something that that eats on me a lot and i when i retired from my job of 40 years i began driving activity buses i travel to very very many school districts around the state of
003arizona and western new mexico and into california a couple of times in those travels i went to a lot of schools and you know the the appearance of the school buildings the outbuildings the ball fields gymnasiums what not were always very well kept very well very nice to look at okay i spent 13 years driving activity buses 11 years emergency in two years you know and i hate to say it because i am i'm not a lifelong resident of all my wife was born and raised here but uh we moved over here three years ago on a permanent basis six years ago owned our home for six years and been part-time and now we're full-time residents but when i was traveling around the state and i seen the schools and i compare them to what
004i see here and all you know i it makes me feel very very very bad you know i do not have any children in school here but i do enjoy or i did enjoy when i was doing it being around the kids and you know i've heard on a consistent basis since i thought property here and spend some time over here that there is no pride here whether it be from the adults from the teachers from the school employees to the students and a lot of it i would say if that is the case comes from poor building maintenance ground meetings and you know i got to say i don't believe i found another school in the state of arizona that needs any i understand right now it's a bad time of year because we
005had a heavy monsoon so i understand that but you know the kids pull up the student parking lot is right here 10 15 cars sometimes in that parking lot the kids step out of their car first thing they see is a softball field weeds grass that tall the bleachers are right there weeds growing up from the ground up into the bleachers you know i is that gonna instill some pride into the kids of this school i don't think so you know not to demean the maintenance staff or anyone that works here and i understand the monetary issues it takes to maintain the buildings and the grounds um but you know i in you're in dr saltero's and his counterparts open interview i post a question as to what could be done to brighten this school
006up in the in the absence of maintenance workers we're hitting a three-minute limit oh thank you sir okay so on to informational items uh first one being governor board report of current events um i actually have something to say from that came from the law conference that's important because this is an election year it's just a reminder to myself and to everybody else on the board that we can encourage people to vote we cannot encourage people to vote in any particular way to endorse any particular party candidate or any other referendum that is up for a vote this time i just wanted to make that clear to everybody thank you very much does anybody else on the board have something to report okay and when i say that i mean we can do it out
007in your personal life you can endorse whoever you want to when we're in here acting as the board we're a non-partisan board so we can't from here endorse any candidate platform party or anything else yes okay if nobody else on the board has anything to report i'll turn it over to dr saltero for the superintendent's request that comes after this service um you have in front of you i gave you a superintendent requiring current events um you should have it right uh it just talks about just trying to highlight the what's been going on i wanted to uh share something with you that i don't think i have before uh what what you see on this report here is you have the data of seeking play what happened but i have at the at the
008end and i want to do this consistently throughout the year starting now i want to tie it and connect it to what goal it applies to that way it's just always uh my superintendent goals the evaluations in december but even after that continue to do it that way we're always on the same page of okay keeping track i'm sharing with you keeping track of my goals and how whether it's in the superintendent's report this month next month it's always connected to one of the goals so so that being said i have something there that i have not shared with you before and if i haven't is because i was so focused on taking a staff member or members just trying to build the relationships the camaraderie you know uh student achievement is critical and so
009is school safety but we have to have the relationships before we even get to step one and step two so what we started this year and something i wanted to start here at ho it's called fabulous friday shout outs with our ausd red raiders staff members and so every friday uh starting august 5th i've been selecting different staff members classified certified whoever it may be one two staff members one time three or four the next time we're going above and beyond really of with our red raider focus and vision of high expectations and making every decision based on on making a positive difference for the students so i just wanted to share that with you some of the people that have been recognized i mean i take the pictures myself i just ask them to
010go out of the classroom or they want in the classroom outside and so i'll send it out friday morning to the entire staff and i have a little write-up just why i'm recognizing them for just so that they can see why they're being recognized and so can their peers just really build the relationships to build our culture to where we're all working together we're all on the same team but also wanting them to know hey um i'm also taking note of what you're doing it makes a difference so some of the people that we have received there as you can see i have them there in front of you i first started off picking up picking a selecting team of people but then the last few times i've focused the last few fabulous friday shout
011outs i've been to some of our teachers uh some teachers have included uh mr rigadon mr moningo mrs sane is there for everyone to see their staff their peers and so and i put their go-to community partnerships really to establish relationships with internal uh stakeholders august 25th we had a emergency response plans review with our school district community there were internal internal stakeholders there that applies to goals we promote family engagement throughout ongoing opportunities with school safety family meetings i remember in the process in the spring the comments that i heard from some of the board members is just to have uh try and get more family engagement so we had a pretty good turnout you know if i compare it to my previous location we started out with 15 people which is a good
012start it's a good foundation we had a different people were there for different stakeholder groups we had a miss robertson administration and staff were there we had our fire department chief our sro is the coordinator and we also had a staff member from a helicopter news and so we just talked about the emergency response plans had some good good conversation august 30th i just want to stress this with you i i am taking serious our school safety as it's one of the strategies and one of the goals that my superintendent goals um i went to the pima county regional active shooter response committee with the pima county sheriff's office in tucson they had 11 um safety agencies 17 school districts and uh i signed up to be on these the student um the student threat
013assessment subcommittee and so the goal is to have a single assessment policy to be adopted by all of the districts and so i look forward to being a part of that subcommittee and it connects to go to community partnerships it's critical a lot of superintendents there is just building that those relationships that they have respect here back here at camaro september 18th arizona school board association law conference crisis communication they have some really good insight from the presenter the session um critical to follow the best practices monitor and be prepared to respond communicate regularly very critical to tell what you know when we know it it's so important to make sure before a message is sent out do we have the correct message that we're communicating with our stakeholders with the parents families and communities
014transparency is critical go to community partnerships and the final point i have there for my superintendent's report we had a property walk yesterday we had from the trust of emergency management services consultant jen corey and she's worked with a lot of school districts in the phoenix in the valley area uh uh gilbert gilbert higley chandler scottsdale so she came here and she was there for a few hours we did a property walk we walked the campus um i had our deputy losano with me and mr johan and we just started from uh the south part of the campus dikes auditorium coming this way we just walked the entire campus primary campus primary of a building the cafeteria and she really gave some good insight but what was really good to watch is she would just
015stand there next to me she would just stay stationary for 10 or 15 minutes she would just look at it and she was taking it in and she just had some really good uh insight to share with me and our team and i i gave our staff an in-person report today so they could hear that comments uh some of the comments just you know making sure everyone has their their badge top radio is critical that all of the the buildings that are around the perimeter district office school office primary building cafeteria that there's radios in every location that we can always have contact with one another very critical that the doors are always to be locked since we have an open campus she really liked how you can open them only from the inside she
016says this is very this is very important she's gone to other open campuses district setup setups to where she likes what she sees but she also knows that we have an open campus so that it's critical to have the communication which is why she really stressed the need to have talk radios and as many people on them strategically as possible and so we made that adjustment we always can get better and so that's what i wanted to share with you um she's been collaborating with us for a few months now and she's they're a very good resource from the trust with angelina and myself first met with her and the manager july 29th and then she also gave me some good input before our school safety meeting august 25th she came yesterday and she's going
017to continue to help out and i think it's a great resource she came from the outside with eyes from the outside and she saw things that maybe we didn't see because she went to the school office here primary building primary uh playground uh gates that lead from the primary playground to the football field um cafeteria cafeteria patio area the gate that leads back into the main campus area library everything she just gave some real good feedback so i just wanted to share that with you that that um and it's part it's critical and school safety is critical i was sharing that with our staff today that we've got to have school school safety and student achievement 101a and it's so critical but so are the relationships the relationship building and that's why uh that first
018item i wanted to share with you as well so that's for your information i also have um another document i'm going to share with you this is a 100-day plan update and i want to have us get one and pass elvis robertson here if you want to pass it down it's a bit an additional uh report for you but i i wanted to highlight i want to to have the the 100-day plan has the goals that are also my superintendent goals so i want to share with you just have everything aligned on the same page so you can see right now uh not you know not wait for me to share it with you at the evaluation or in 100 days over you see it right now okay okay he's aligning his his activity and
019strategies the goals are driving or driving that so it has to be consistent and i wanted to just make sure that that this is something that i want to share with you not just in the superintendent report but also the weekly updates so you can get weekly updates uh when there's the update that i provide an item that i put in there i want to make sure that i always okay show which goal this is related to so that they can always see how the 100-day plan is driving the superintendent's report and it's also driving the weekly updates and i'm giving you what goals are being focused on on a weekly basis so i just want to share that with you all right now i know the evaluations in december three months away but i
020think it's just good planning that you have this information right now and um the the two highlights i want to point out on the 100-day plan update pertain to a goal one academic achievement and i think it is one to the third point professional development august 31st measure of academic progress when we started the math and reading assessments from the northwest evaluation association that's very critical it gives everyone a baseline level and that's a strategy the goals that i shared with you recently i believe it was last month it's important for all the staff and now we have almost all our staff i wanted to share that with you i we are so excited we have eight of our nine classroom teachers and we have two of our three resource teachers that's huge and so
021this is a baseline level for the teachers to see where they are with reading math and and i also wanted to add i think the last point there on the on the back page today was a review of the results of the measure of academic progress and talking with mr casey he's been very helpful just sharing with me the insight of this assessment and they're also going to look at the move online reading so it's good planning it's it's it's right there and this is a critical part of of my goals you'll notice it's academic achievement and school safety that's where it's going to happen and then the very first point on my report was relationships you gotta have relationships to move forward to be successful and that's gonna lead to the academic achievement of
022school safety so that's those are my both of my reports thank you very much sir sir okay now i have a motion to adopt the consent agenda i'll move on second here mr pearson aye ms duncan aye mr hopkins aye ms robertson uh first i want to say thank you hi got it mr guthrie motion passes five to zero on to personnel first item personnel is the classified resignation of custodian jason yes jason orton this time i know it's the first time last time i said kelly so make sure yeah right so that's me and then does a great job um explanation uh jason martin submitted his vocal resignation as of august 12th as a maintenance worker uh mr president i recommend the approval of the resignation of jsonport i'll make motion people seconded mr

026andrade campos custodian i'll make the motion mr hopkins aye ms robertson aye mr guthrie aye ms duncan thank you mr kurzwich is also an eye it passes five to zero nice questions so when we hire custodial people and maintenance people are they required to get a fingerprint card also yes yes yes but we we allow them to come to work because the other day you said it was four weeks on that one i mean uh jason and kelly were here five minutes and you know there's no way they could have gone but uh they might have already had one i don't know well i know that we we do uh do require the fingerprint checks at the same time i believe it's a 15-5-12 statute where there's so many districts like ourselves in a very
027challenging position that if we don't get them we're going to lose them and stop to do the reference checks so uh that being said um this was uh they were not here very long and they i just wondered if what the requirement for that was if they had to have the fingerprint cards and we had previous conversations and more meetings sure about that before sure and so um i i get that i understand that um i'm not asking you to change practice no no it's it may take four five six weeks or longer however um if we do that before bringing some people on and the reference checks are good and we get good recommendations and lose them it's it's a very challenging thing because then what do you do but at the same time
028well you want to wait till that check comes back basically it's risk management it's challenging because we do have a hard time getting the right people and making sure that they stay that's right um but we're always looking at it i want to just when you guys don't mean like i'm violating open meeting laws we're getting kind of kind of pushing them um so we can understand like really precisely what well let's just let's discuss that at the end when we're talking about agenda so we don't really we actually we can do it now because well it's not really because we're talking about personnel issues right now we can discuss that at the end when we're gonna add agenda i think that'd be the more appropriate time yeah let's see you mr president i think
029i think with the conversation that's going on right now i don't believe that violated open meeting law but i think if we want to discuss it further it does need to be agendized okay any more on that okay then the next item is the classified employment of teacher's aide aaron donovan are you doing this correct oh we did table that one sorry about that okay next item then is the classified employment of teachers aide jennifer groves uh mr president i'm sorry we tablet we have to table it again okay okay the previous one okay mr hopkins aye mr ms robertson aye ms duncan aye five to zero enabled now we're on to the certified classified employment of teachers aide jennifer groves uh mr president jennifer golds has been interviewed and reference checks completed for the

034to advertise an interview for um from monday to today ms smith and i did do some research this would be of course a new position we looked in some other districts and then i'll be honest i started to think about okay uh we wanted to see what what else is out there uh it seems to me from the research that we've done and she was very critical in helping me with that sunny side unified school district agua free union high school district they have campus security monitors and it makes a lot of sense because they're not just at the school through the entire campus their campus security and they monitor they have to constantly monitor the entire campus and so we have some information as far as you know that can help guide us putting
035the requirements together and then i also remembered i used to be a campus monitor and so making sure that that um there has to be we want to make sure we when we advertise we have the right stipulations the right requirements in place uh having a presence at the same time being able to work and and with other students work with staff and so we have a good foundation here to look at i'm looking at you know here it says the administration is recommending creating a school safety officer position from looking at what other districts do high school districts and unified districts i believe a campus security monitor would probably be more a more appropriate title just based on what a lot of other districts are doing versus what we have here because we were
036you know this this is new but i just want to stress and i want to share with you and and this smith and i were talking about i want to make sure that when we do it make sure we do everything right that we have the requirements there the qualifications and um it's going to be a very important position of sunnyside actually has a district pool so that might be something also we can be thinking about talking about as far as finding hopefully we can find some good qualified candidates and see you know if until that first person is here we're not going to know how they do so so working closely with dr chabots can see how what kind of work they do i mean it's going to be a very critical position and
037so that's just what i wanted to uh what i wanted to stress before um recommending creating a campus security monitor position i believe that's a good way to start because sunnyside has a school safety department so we can also talk with them and get feedback on how they got that started why reinvent the wheel and just get some some advice some feedback how did you guys get it started what did you do what kind of professional development because you want to have the right person who can combine yes the security component but also the relationship component the social emotional learning component all that's critical right now with uh with the post pandemic that in looking at other districts did you get an idea of how much the position pays the position can pay anywhere from
038right like 15 okay and that we have that so it's i think i think it's a good start because also just what i've been learning is we can get some people but we're having a challenging time keeping them so this is a position that the person that we get they want to make sure that that they're going to stay but we want to make sure that they can do the job yeah that the demands and expectations first say i got this job here and then what happens if in a few weeks we're like it's not working out we've got to just be very that's what i've learned in this time make sure we hire the right person well you know what let's partner with someone who's been doing this for a number of years and
039work with them and get some more feedback from them on how they made it work and what they did so do you recommend that we table this so we get maybe some a job description that's a little bit more i don't see why would table because if we sure if we approve it then he actually can go and put a job description together yeah i i i get the ball rolling i have some samples right here that once if you do approve it we can move forward with smith and i can work collaboratively on this and we can start getting this emotion so exactly what are we improving sounds like he wants to make this a position for approval position creation for a campus security monitor correct yes yes okay let's set up instead of
040calling a school safety officer this will be a campus security monitor position because that's what it seems like other districts are doing and we haven't done this before i just want to make sure that we do this right [Music] well i i'm just thinking you know from personal exploration from personal experience mr guthrie the monitor the campus monitor the safety monitor is more in their role as as a support to the school leadership team monitoring of walking around monitoring the restrooms checking the restrooms dismissal parent pickup drop off which which the sro has their role they're they're the officer on campus talking from someone who's been a campus security monitor and having worked in districts where you have that title it does kind of have that line of security modern district employees doing this the
041law enforcement officer on campus and there's a fight between two high school boys what what would this what would be the monetary can be traded i was trained as a monitor to break up a fight just trajectory okay so absolutely so the monitor would just he would be involved in oh absolutely and so if he observed somebody on the campus enacting vandalism what would be his or her role in that we're made to to to help administration as much as possible to making sure that uh whatever consequences come because discipline is a case-by-case basis whatever consequences happen they serve as the eyes and ears also for administration knowing what's going on around campus that's what they have to monitor on a regular basis i'm not against this i'm for it right sure but i watched
042mr kc deal with students that were physical with him right luckily he's a big guy but to me things that i've seen him have to to deal with i don't think he should if we have this position i don't think he should be dealing with that right i think that that safety that the whatever we call him or her should be the one that deals he can help absolutely in my previous school in nogales our our security monitor was healthy they're vigilant they're the eyes and ears for for administration they're at lunch duty they're in the passing periods they're checking the restrooms they're apparent dismissal they can see if the parents being or anyone is being difficult in the off their eyes and there's also the administration if they're a great resource if done correctly
043and with the appropriate training i would hope that they would be a protector do you know what i'm trying to say sure i i mean like if a problem comes up they can be called absolutely and that that's that's the role of my previous districts mr president campus security monitors that's what they perform and so they're they're involved as well they are they help with the school safety if we have one of those then what happens with the cameras i like that idea of cameras because no no no no i'm sorry go ahead um you can have something going wrong up here and the cameras will tell you that someone's sneaking in the back and the security officer isn't going to do any i mean he's not there mr president miss duncan you read my
044mind um jen cory from the trust came here she gave us some good input of where we can put our cameras at the entry and exit points we're having the rough renovation yes we have to be careful there but we can still have security cameras in addition to the security campus so just the layers of safety and and it's going to help mr casey's out there at lunchtime doctor myself we have our teachers also in the morning so it's it's a group effort i i would say mr president mr guthrie everyone is is help taking care of each other that's the look i saw today the staff members today it's it's everyone is in on this together this is a critical position who will be a strong support system for administration i'll make the emotions
045oh second can i just say so uh would it be okay with everyone if if this does get approved tonight um it's approved with the expectation that dr zoltar will return with a job description um and a just an explanation of how this fits into the the greater district safety plan sure yeah absolutely mr hopkins aye mr kurzwich is i miss robertson aye mr guthrie aye ms duncan aye motion pass is five to zero yes item before the board please decide on approval of the that that got tabled until table so we voted yeah no i'll make the move from the table miss duncan all right motion disabled or agenda items uh next business item is the appointment of a board of representative for the board representative for the pima county meeting um yes mr
046president um arizona school board association openness county means for the school board members pima county's meeting will be september 22nd at saudi unified school district the board could choose to eight out of ten and all representative is needed or b to attend and pick a representative my recommendation is this is a board decision i believe on based on monday's discussion there wasn't so much there wasn't anybody who was available to go and i kind of would like to reach out to pima county arizona school board association and let them know that when they schedule something that starts at 4 30 they're making it really inconvenient for somebody who's got a five hour round trip to get there and it doesn't seem it seems to me like something they could have also hooked a zoom link
047up for those of us that are more remote no man that's an option it is an option to do media that might work you know and so we've got to reach out to him and ask him if if you know one or all of us could possibly attend that meeting i think they'd only want one of us to be the representative of the board so it's a good question okay i um since i'm leaving town right after the meeting is over would not have time to reach out to the pima county asthma folks would you do that please man thank you very much so okay so we're gonna make motion that angelina's gonna contact asba about this on thursday the 22nd and then we find out if we can have somebody participate by zoom so
048um well we can't really table it though okay so this next week yeah it's next week can we approve based on that if somebody if somebody can say if somebody is available to do the zoom on it then we can vote on it that way if the zoom is an option is somebody available then i will i'll change the motion um angelina will reach out to school board association we're going to september 22nd meeting um it will be if they do have a zoom or other option available for representation at the meeting we will decide amongst ourselves and who's available that day to do it due to the short time constraint do we not have to decide and if not we won't have any representation there i think we have to pick who the person
049would be you don't necessarily have to pick but we can leave it open okay and if i think if we just left it so we're not breaking out meanwhile whoever is available contact don't you're gonna be gone contact angelina directly okay that'll work okay i'll second all of that okay uh mr perez nurtures the eye on that extremely long motion mr hopkins aye mr robertson aye mr guthrie aye ms duncan aye castor five to zero okay next item of business legendary teacher's day yes sir mr president members of the board dr nicholas comments at mr hopkins email invited aho schools to participate in engineering teachers day which will be on the 22nd of september the program was started by dr clement in 2014 to celebrate teachers the link for individuals to choose their legendary teacher
050will be placed on our website facebook and newspaper all teachers can be nominated currently working retired etc the website will do all the tabulations and inform the district of who was picked in their town district and so this is uh i recommend the participation of our whole school with legendary i'll make motion i'll second it but i will point out it's going to be tricky to get it to the newspaper based on what their printing schedule is and since this is going to happen in a week a little bit over a week okay next business item is discussion and vote on board box mr president ortox is an electronic board book used by the majority of boards in arizona a representative of ortox david presentation on monday study session about packages available and what works
051best for all the schools the decision is up to the board um how you want to proceed forward five 5-0 next item is the approval of governing board policies second reading yes uh mr president went through all the policy uh advisory on monday read through the summary so this second reading would be pretty much just me stating what i read monday's first reading the second reading superintendent's recommendation i recommend the acceptance of the attached policies upon the second reading we discussed that upon the adoption of these policies there are several of our policies that either need to be updated or need to be removed so assuming that these are are um that this is passed um i will request that regulation k-i-r-a be removed and replaced with ai-r which is the equivalent in here um
052k i rb be removed entirely um jica rb be removed entirely um and you all have these here um the bottom half of it from face covering down should be deleted um the that administration does as has the authority to change the regulation governing board and direct superintendent to change the regulation uh subject to a review also by the district legal council so basically what she's sharing i'm gonna make sure okay and there are a couple of these things that i'm just don't feel right voting about as a block with everything so there's a couple i'd like to pull out for individual votes kb jlcbe jlcc gbgcb [Music] jlcc gbgcb jjia and imbj i'd also like to pull out jj ibm yeah i was reading it wrong and had that one moved in with the
053one that i told so i guess based on that my assumption is we vote on the remaining ones as in mass first and then we vote on the individual ones after okay okay so so i'll commend my motion to approve initially with the exception right now kb jlcbe jlcc jjib jjia jj ibr and imb to be voted on separately after this initial vote ngbgcp gb gcb yes okay all right can you tell me why we should pull all that it's almost half of these um to me and every district is approving these we're just wasting the time to write it rewrite it which i presume is what you want to do i think they just want a standalone vote on each one am i correct they want to stand alone voter and everyone they're not
054i'm not the one that requested it so i couldn't tell you why would you like to vote each one separately if you're not going to change it i can tell you why i did because there are some that i feel are fundamentally flawed in the way that the legislature put them out i realize the district will have to follow them their laws but i feel it's also my obligation to put out that the way that they put these together is flawed so we might have we might have some that we would say yes to you would say i too some police would say no to okay so it's like basically a symbolic vote yeah it is that's that's okay you know i mean we're still going to vote on them i understand why people want
055to do this some people may not agree with some of these things that's okay so i don't think we have a lot of choice actually on these no but we don't but you know if some board members request that change so be it unless whoever has their voice want to be heard that's fine that's my opinion at the same time every time you vote you have a [Music] effect choice 24th the laws go into effect but that's just for your information yes i agree with this one that's good i think just did i understand why you want to do it i don't disagree with the way you want to do it but i just think that um if we have to we have no choice then i think you know just state your displeasure with
056those those policies which you have basically and we just vote as one and and get and get it done i mean you i know you don't agree with me running that's fine i don't care if you don't agree with them is um we all have our opinions about this obviously but any board member has the right to pull anything out of a consent agenda for any reason okay so it is what it is that's why we have you well you know you know the rules i just don't think it's necessary i mean it's it's i understand why you might want to pull something out that but it this this is the law it's going to be the law and you're not going to be able to change that you know about if i have a
057if i can make a recommendation on this i understand every point of view you guys all know me you know don't agree with something everybody has right to be heard i will offer a um middle ground here how about we just fold on all of them the ones we that board members have something to say on why don't we discuss those and let their feelings be known about it before we just vote on it in mass and just knock it out okay so we have already requested these pulled that pulled out for a individual vote not pulling out to not approve right okay just i just want to clarify so i understand you're offering up mm-hmm i'm trying to find a compromise here um but i would like mine pulled out so so what happens
058if if you pull one out and you won't know what happens at that point three people won't know what happens basically the district will be in violation of the law september 24th and that man right there they pull one of these out and it's voted no a that winds up with the law and the district the board says oh we don't want that one we're voting no on it then basically on september 24th the districts of violation law for not using that violation of the law yeah unless we violate that policy which the policy is unlocked up with the law yeah it will take effect so in essence the district would be in violation of state law set forth by the legislature and signed by the governor you see what i'm saying only if we
059actually break the law not having the policy in place isn't isn't freaking but that is dangerous ground and that just opens it up for trouble and i think it's gonna this is getting a lot deeper than it needs to be i understand why you guys are asking if things be pulled out that's fine but i like the idea of if there's if you guys have issues with certain policies i want something to say let's just get it out now or we should have gotten out monday but today is fine too you know we got two meetings but we've got to find some some ground we can't just beat me back and forth like this all the time but then it also leaves the only option to somebody who has a problem with a couple of
060these then the only option is to vote against the entire slate and if so be it that's it that's fine that's your prerogative if you if you guys want to vote no against something as a show of symbolism that's fine i understand that but i i am throwing out there i think we just pull around as a block if someone has issue with certain policies regarding the certain state laws they don't agree with let them have their time to talk about that and why that could be kept a new agenda individually so whether we like it don't like it or whatever that's just the way it is so let's just get it done let's do what we're going to do so then we'll vote on the block and assess address those individually yes i need
061i'm getting to that right now marshall you were the second do you want to agree to that segment or pull your second no i think you should so then the motion is on the floor i need a second i'm all second no wait marshall wait but oh i'm sorry you are you are saying you didn't want to second it that's why i asked her she wanted to pull her second port because of the chain after the champion i will not say i do want to second it but i want to vote for the whole block i know the motion on the floor as of right now is voting on as a block minus those that were brought up by all right wendy and rodney and those will be born individually after the initial vote of
062the remaining policies so you're the second do you want to continue a second okay i need a second also i miss interpreting okay so rodney that's fine okay so mr kurzner just i in the approval of the block excluding those mentioned by the two board members i'm an eye mr hopkins aye ms duncan no no miss robertson hi mr guthrie okay moving on to the next um round of voting we will dislodge your job you do that sorry i'm trying to keep very on track here kd was the first one to mention yes yeah just gotta find out that you don't want it in there that's what we're doing now they're gonna we have members that take issue with certain policies regarding how they're related to state laws and they have something they want to
063say about it get a knockout go to kb don't knock them out one or two stages [Music] okay we need a motion in a second before we can make a motion we approve policy kb kernel involvement education i need a second to approve we're voting to approve correct so we're not changing we should have been in no we can't have any discussion no discussion so i made the motion to approve it as is i just need a second part i'm so mixed up now i understand i understand so every one of these we have to have a motion and a second and then we have once we have the second then we can have the discussion tonight yes yes and then vote it shouldn't take too long and then we'll vote so i need a
064motion we always end up having a big discussion we always do and so i would rather state your piece and let's vote uh yeah my problem with this one it just adds more and more burden to our teachers without increasing their pay what any of their payback from some of this i know some of it is requiring them to have everything posted where a parent can come through and say oh i don't want my child learning this and this there's a value in the unification of public education and again i think it's mainly that this particular one is more burdensome on our staff and not supported by legislation not supported financially by legislation i i do i just have a administrative thing on that one there's a on page 24 there's optional language um i
065i want to be sure that we do that as we have in the past that's unchanged um but it says um it says optional language can be adopted in horror and heart is determined by the board um i propose that we repeat that optional language and in the event that this is this is approved any other discussion no no okay if i think for a wendy's thing to happen it would have to be one of those persons who made the motion and ended it so basically nothing's going to change with this is just where we're recognizing this right so no one's asked her to be taken out so i think we're fine not adding to it um so i'll go ahead and uh mr kurzner says i mr guthrie miss duncan no you don't want
066to accept the policy as it is but you said you were going to change you wanted no no no nothing's changing marcia she just why didn't i put it in my head okay i understand marcia you're upset i know i know i mean it's a waste of time eric i there's nothing we can do about that now we've already established so the policy is the policy we're not changing this policy we're voting to approve it as it is we should have it um the policy is approved four two one okay next jail cb e okay yeah that exhibit attaches to on uh no oh so yeah that's already that's already approved yeah okay got put in the block so then we're on to jlcc so where but i don't know diseases okay i will make
067the motion to approve jlcc for communicable effects diseases i just need a second for approval for discussion thank you mr guthrie and we should discuss one of the ones where i think the state is uh basically taking power away from the districts to make local decisions where again with things like this we have a better idea of what's going on in ajo than politicians in phoenix too but they're tying their hands with this legislation in my opinion any other discussion mr kurzwich's i mr guthrie miss duncan no you're voting no to not approve this policy yeah i i want to i want this policy you want what you said marcia let me explain what's going on he made the motion i made the motion to approve this policy i've voted because they wanted to have
068their statements heard on the record about why they disagree with it but we're still voting to approve it whether everybody okay so then why can't we go down and improve all of them well because we've already passed that point okay i'm sorry marcia so i mr mr robertson no mr hopkins motion passes three to two i'll make a motion to approve g gb gcb staff health and safety and there's a motion to approve i need a second thank you sir my problem with this one is the same as the one with the last one where it's taking power and control away from an autonomy away from local school boards making decisions far from the town that's being impacted by them okay anybody else okay mr kurznerjs has an eye for approval mr guthrie miss duncan
069aye mr hopkins no miss robertson no motion passes three to two next we're on to uh jjia jj is page 77 followed by jjigae right yes sir all right jjia intramural sports i will make the motion to approve i need a second second thank you sir discussion okay the reason i wanted this one pulled aside is because i understand why they why they are doing this but to me the way it's worded has a good chance of alienating any of our trans students from participating in any sports and that population of people are already alienated enough this is within the school where they even care what they see so um this is actually and this didn't come up i didn't i didn't notice this on monday but this is an optional policy that i don't
070think even applies to our school i think we all should be voting now on it it says jjia is an optional policy those districts that have intramural sports for those districts that have internal so it sounds like the legislators use the wrong word so this was basically just so we have two classrooms having a kickball game in between each other right or like florida said if we had two high schools that one high school could play the other high school yeah it's more formal than than a kickball game out on the grass but we don't have that and this is an optional policy yeah you see this more on a college note so you're saying it's one that we shouldn't even have a vote on because it's not even one that applies is since it's
071one that does not apply to our district we could just simply indefinitely table it i'll make the motion the table motion on there oh we do i'm trying to read this real quick so my question is then if we don't do this one then we need to worry about having to discuss on jj ibr oh well that's next so because if this one's tabled or not approved then r won't even no because that's this is intro jj ibr right but we're on jj okay well mentions it here right so jjib is the regulation that's associated with policy jjib which we'll do next okay so we have a motion in a second on the table are you still reading i'm still reading i'm sorry no problem i just don't want to miss nothing almost good i
072didn't notice that on monday it was a lot of problems 100 pages do you know so this one tonight would not even apply to us we don't have intramural sports am i wrong yes well i will see my motion yeah but i don't think your second heard you no well they're just again okay i'm gonna make my motion to the table this one for further review give me a second on there okay mr curtis is the eye for the table mr guthrie okay mr hopkins mrs robertson aye ms duncan duncan it is table with five to zero now we're on the jjib interest blasters quartz oh am i out here i got so much going on that's last imbs last oh i'm just i'm just going by mr hopkins oh yeah we're going to down
073the list jj ib in this fossil affect us voting on jj ibr so whatever we decide this one will affect jj ibr so i asked for jj ib to be cool um i understand the legal requirements right and i also appreciate the complexity of it an emotion i will make the motion to approve jjib internal glass exports which if we approve it we'll also approve incidentally jj ibr so i'll make the motion to prove tgib okay all right sorry wendy um and i also understand the complexity of it i'm a former student athlete i have daughters who are athletes i'm a beneficiary of title ix i get that but this legislation is extreme it's more extreme than the olympics requirements it's more extreme than most states and it targets our most vulnerable students our students
074that are most prone to mental health issues and suicidality and so of support for those students i am going to vote no we have a number of trans students um in our in our school and in our community we're going to say the exact same thing okay so we're doing over there okay so now we're going to vote to approve jjib which will also basically approve jj ibr um mr curtis says i vote for approval mr guthrie ms duncan aye mr hopkins no miss robertson no uh policies are approved three to two because you sensitivity uh page 99 of 99. there we go okay i will make the motion to approve policy imb teaching about controversial and sensitive issues uh can you get a second okay discussion uh like i said monday this one is
075just so vaguely worded anything could be taken as a controversial topic they've left it wide open i think i know what they were aiming at with it but it's just a horribly worded put together legislation which is basically anybody can be offended about anything and you could get in trouble for it if somebody says what you just taught my kid was controversial i think i know it's been expressed that some of this was in relation to critical race theory and i think if you don't teach accurate history on race relations in america you're going to run the risk of defending somebody else and it becomes controversial the other way so i think this is one i know what they were trying to do just the way they worded it was horribly sloppy and way too
076gentle all right um i will vote i to approve i am b teaching about control sensitive subjects mr curtis versus i mr guthrie mrs duncan aye mr hopkins no miss robertson no a policy is approved three to two okay next item is the agenda item to add agenda items the next item is the uh agenda item to add agenda items i believe we have somebody who already had made mention of one uh yeah okay does anybody else on the board have a future agenda item they'd like to request okay may i have a motion to adjourn i'll make that motion to adjourn one second all right mr kurzwich is i'm mr hopkins uh mr robertson mr guthrie miss duncan we are adjourned five to zero at 7 52. oh good now it's recorded that i
077don't know how to read a clock
