001said mrs robertson here dr cooley here dr chipolte is not with us of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for allah well it's not gonna be my address for much longer but it won't be my address for much longer okay so now we are on to governing board report of current events um one current then i have to report on this that our superintendent is retired retirement could be a time when you struggle to find something to do you don't want that to happen so i have for you a wrench for a nash rambler because i think i'll give you this thing thank you very much i just happen to have one of those where'd you find this it
002was donated to the workshop that's what it was when i saw it i'm like oh that made me unframed in my office um so kind of touching on the whole retirement here and this is pretty much your very last board meeting salons are singing the swans are singing the birds are chirping is there water in your cup because i know you're going to start taking their issues yes now we had to have a kind of a covert operation on this but we didn't want you to leave here we did not appreciate your 22 years as an employee here 20 of which being the most long longest 10-year super candidate in all schools history of 20 years so that itself is pretty impressive so with angelina's help after board district all the employees and students by
003the way you signed the po to do this um i'll go ahead and read this to you i feel like radar the yahoo unified school district presents this award with gratitude to robert f for 22 years of service to the students staff and parents of awhile schools we will forever be grateful for your dedication service and kindness to the community of all venice residents thank you thank you for your time so much appreciate it thank you thank you let me make sure [Music] at um annual scholarship awards uh night and ten years ago i made it known that i wanted to meet him because i was interested in being on school there was that was the beginning of nine years of serving on the board bob told me not to worry i'd probably get elected
004because no one ever wants to be on the board however that year there were 10 applicants and eric lisa rossi and i will elect it and uh and as with all phrases of life there are happy and sad times on this board in this nine years we battled tom horn [Music] we lost lisa rose cameron john burt patty spencer eric schultz concord klein helder and lonnell blog it gave all of us strength and togetherness and dedicated to the iceberg history bob was our leader he knew the names of every child that would ever walk into the school kids were always number one on his mind in 1909 he was nominated and wanted the rural for rural yearly rural superintendent award he was responsible for grants and he also was nominated as for them i wish
005i had my notes better um i also was nominated for um to be in the hall of fame and that was in 1922. did they elect you yeah i think that's what i've been told i'll get you award in september good good bob was also responsible for grants that improved the education of the district as well as kept our buildings in top-notch shape and that's a question mark after that a new roof on the gym repairing sinkholes working on fire damage cracks and dicing walls and making classrooms safer our high school numbers improved each year especially during graduation whatever bob did it gave us all strength togetherness and dedication to the idaho school district bob was our leader he knew the names of every child that was registered at this school kids were always number
006one in his mother he was asked to be on the numeral and on many committees then they were state companies not just around here he was responsible for grants that improved the education of the district probably the largest one was the three million dollar one that we had not only did that improve our graduation rate but it also brought mercy ericon casey and dr you know no it's double mckenzie okay i called dr carrier dr carrio is another one that's what i was thinking didn't write probably this last year was one of the most difficult that you have been through when he when forced with criticism sometimes merited and sometimes just hateful he accepted this with very strong shoulders and leadership just don't call him a liar bob you will now start a new night
007and it i'm sure it will be an adventure and knowing you you will address it with anticipation and imagination at saturday's party i stole this bit off of one of the posters unfortunately i haven't got it accurate because they are those little filipinos every time i wanted to write it down they moved over it so i i've sort of written it on my own but i could not have written anything more fitting a good leader is hard to find a good leader is hard to part with and say goodbye a good leader will never be forgotten thank you julie for 20 years and we asked the chat uh has racked our organization in many organizations the last year almost two years a little over two years um and you know you all know that sometimes
008i get frustrated with our state government well this is another opportunity for that uh just an important part i've shared this with dr saltero so he can deal with it when he assumes leadership for a few weeks our legislature's passed two laws they've been enacted already they're already part of the statute one forbids any employer to in arizona to require copa shots the other one does not allow school districts produce public schools or charter schools to force masking without parent permission um it's hb 24 98 hp 26 16 and something you'll forgive and i didn't write down the statute but if you want a copy it came out of asba you all may have received that um it's uh i hope i hope that we're not being overly optimistic right now i think that code
009it's going to say stated in remission a little bit we've had two people affiliated with the district recently that became contested positive and that that concerns me i didn't want to believe it but i was feeling kind of optimistic until that happened uh summer school started this week thanks to your approval um we've had three days the highest days been 40 kids present pretty good for this time of year i think and the least has been 27. one of the things i like about i like a lot of things about our kids uh that's rare in the summertime when i see a kid i'll wait two weeks after school's up maybe before i ask this you give me a scoop ninety percent of the time he answers yes so that speaks highly of the teachers
010and they feel good here on campus and i appreciate that that kind of makes our time worthwhile um the uh there's an article you may have seen i didn't realize it's gonna be a paper this is an arizona republic um and heard about from several people today the title of the article is arizona schools struggle to improve security the uh on byline is a young lady the first name first name is gianna y-a-n-a she started contacting me maybe four months ago arizona middle school's executive director called me and said you're going to get a call from the reporter he said she was asking some questions about covet and facilities in rural schools and he said i took he's he stroked my ego he probably just doesn't want me to talk he said well dewey's the
011one to talk to and so we talked about that but also in that process after the uh uvalde uh shooting i said to the board larry you folks i talked about the fact that after the parkland shooting of the shooting document of kids uh in schools uh that i sent a letter to the governor all right nsfb facility liaison pardon me our three legislators and states in template construction i had one five-minute call from someone way down the food chain at the department of bed nothing ever happens and so um there's an organization called arizona center for law the public interest a lawsuit that was ruled that was approved up and supported by the supreme court in 1994 it's called roosevelt versus bishop roosevelt y'all knows a huge elementary district in south phoenix because of
012the population sometimes they're not politically powerful because it's a lot of poverty uh diverse population i've never worked there i've had friends and i've had friends that work here i know the district and that's unfortunate it's very unfortunate in our culture but um the bishop at the time diane bishop of the states you can tell states we're getting public instruction good person i thought well this lawsuit caused sfb to happen and supposedly sfb which if they've changed their name someone told me dss or something you all know sfb their job their primary focus is to build schools for districts they're having growth and to keep schools in good repair it's been speaking of a tough year we started working on the roof project here probably last july we're finally the 21st of this month we're
013going to have a meeting in this room a pre-bid meeting so contractors can see the possibility of the needs and give them some information to help make them make significant bids and then dr center i told him you're on the next one it's july 21st to show the bids ready to rock and roll and i'd hope that i've been here to see this happen um initially we thought it was going to be about 800 000 last time i talked to the architectural firm has been giving us some advice they're saying 1.3 to 1.4 and that was in september something may have gotten worse since then because commodities are much shorter um so this this article well anyway back to the arizona center for a lot of public interest they the lawsuit with that lawyer eventually
014retired he's a good man they now have a young heart young he's probably 40. aldrin aldrin something like that's his name he contacted me a couple of years ago and i was subpoenaed to give a deposition in phoenix and our lawyer was president to make sure i didn't make a mistake and then we had arizona center for lone public interest president uh ben ben hufford and three or four assistants ascended ascendancy sedimentary general and they did a deposition on what is happening not happening with sfb and it wasn't as bad then as it is now one of the things i talked about was our rock wall i think if i tore that down my crew would have been ten years ago a week after i tore it down because it's coming it's a it's it's
015a symbol of town but the school was built during donna reedura's inherit days and this building is kind of designed for that back in those days we never thought that anybody would attack us and kill children so i was in a law conference last year and this our wall our rock wall out here was part of the presentation and my statement's been that we could drive a vw glass bus or a tank through that wall we couldn't stop um so this article talks about that in terms of not just about us but talks about the fact that uh rural schools have a hard time passing especially hard time passing financial elections things that we've done i hope you understand the three-wing building we took the windows out rigged them up and put solid rock solid
016glass blocks so those buildings are pretty safe we also put we changed the locks about two or three years ago it's about 200 door so they never unlock you get in they're always locked so people sometimes stick a piece of paper and watch the painting connect we'll go by and pull the paper out because that way people can't get in i had jose got peepholes so if someone not you want to check it out you can do that first the primary canvas was built in 1995 and i'm not i'm not trying to make disparaging comments about my predecessors but it's kind of like a fancy machine shed with sheetrock it's a metal building an insulation and sheetrock and it's not thick metal and so we got a grand viewers because it's starting to rust off
017and we've all new sightings all new doors all moving into this little painting um windows but it's still not as secure in my opinion as it needs to be and um i talked about that and so the lawsuit looks like it's going to look good for schools because the lawsuit's about state things are happening in the state that are not they're not living in what the courts told them so anyway take a look at that i hope that i didn't write the letters like i told the board and i apologize that i've just been busy but i think maybe the heart the article was wrong and i think maybe it may have some clout i hope i've heard from a couple people going hey dooley you're on the front line well that's not what i
018want i want to keep our kids safe um let's see um [Music] i wrote these down today or not folks i i want to thank the board for the wrench and the speech and the plaque i love these will hang together somewhere right and my kids are going to do that with my mind when i'm gone but and i and i appreciate the support of the community and kids and a lot of good teachers and boards i've i figured i've worked with about 18 board members and miss duncan listed a few people with loss i think i counted six or seven we lost but the last the last three years i've been very tough all around excuse me with a lot of people that we've worked with and some of those people you know we
019never saw always see eye to eye but some of the most important people in the world to continue i totally we had good discussions so i appreciate that support i'm glad i had the opportunity i spent 27 percent of my life here and or more i didn't count to two years that's just to 20 years and so i wanted this place to be successful and our kids deserve i get real angry fast uh none of you noticed that but when i think that our kids aren't getting the same breaks that kids and prosperous urban schools are getting not all kids in urban schools are getting roosevelt kids didn't get it and so i just think that's wrong i am i appreciate the forward support and help i hope that the groups that helped me parents
020and the kids teachers at the board also support dr zotero he and i have become supporting clinic this week and we probably talk more than he or i have time for but i think philosophies and things like that were pretty similar on what we believe about kids about schools about education i've enjoyed my time here so thank you maybe i should retire two years ago dr joyce uh uh please before you leave today assign them the buggy thing and because we need all thank you wow [Music] personnel for the 2022-23 school year was the superintendent's recommendation that the board employed bernie as a teacher for the 22-23 school benjamin is a certified deployment teacher maria fernandez here's your as a teacher here uh next one is the certified development teacher christopher conwells christian gonzalez has

025about a little bit the other night jose is a young teacher he's been here about four years he is really good support good respect for kids he's bilingual but he can't teach him spanish but he understands the ell needs the kids to open charlie erin khan is kind of like she's a very silent person but she has some jobs she has a master's in education she has two master's degrees one's in english is the second language now it's a special ed so she's highly qualified to be a teacher four years when she's in the philippines she started special ed program in secondary school special ed is not required in secondary school if it's been told to me by several people so i assume it's accurate only in decay so that she thought it was necessary
026the school of social leadership so she did that she was voted by some it's called uh phil m filipino american education association uh several years ago the outstanding and what an outstanding special ed teacher in the united states philippine education so i think we're very lucky to have her and i think all three are going to do well and i'm with the turnover and special ed this year it's really imperative to have i believe some of the consistency and keep one of this existing staff here so i feel good about the facts second mr hopkins yes it's not this is not necessary because she would roof her cats in this morning so it's unfortunate she was a strong cat i'd love to watch this lady work she's the one who mentioned monday night that had
027been teaching in australia for 13 years and she she was a college professor she has three master's degrees she and dr lamontagne were colleagues at the university of um and so i hate to see her go [Music] the administration is prepared to propose the 20 2023 fiscal budget for board review proposed budget is being recommended for approval and the administration is asking permission to advertise the superintendent recommends that the board approve the usda proposed fiscal year 23 budget expenditure budget and allow the administration permission to privatize the budget as per mr hopkins classified staff representatives have made small changes to the classified conference the committee has worked on this document during the spring of three days too the superintendent recommends the ratification of the classified staff we believe we made all the changes there's a

031will most likely pay for her to have a hotel presentation so that's got it i didn't want to make those decisions i think [Music] for me my thinking i'm thinking the board operations communication critical would be the more more helpful more necessary definitely and she did say that this would be a three-hour session so it was actually a special session and she is not available on thursdays so i told her i said well i think most likely monday or wednesday because those of us are on the board already blocked off wednesdays so um yeah we're shooting for july because july was open she's pretty booked in june july was wide open but she said with the number of new superintendents in this state that she expects july to fill up pretty quickly so i'd like
