004Mrs. Williamson. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Garcia. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lean. >> Yes. >> And I'm a Yes. The motion passes 5 to zero. We're going to Okay, we're going to resume our meeting. Okay. 2.3. Well, we're going to have to have discussion. to approval of the 2026 governing board meeting dates and locations. So, this is an ongoing conversation or unless somebody wants to make make a motion, that's fine, too. >> I think we had need to have more discussion. >> Okay. So Sandra, if you didn't call in, I was going to table this until the next work session, but since you're here, um, any discussion on this other than we heard from Sandra? Sandra, do you want to repeat your concerns? Okay. And I think um Mrs. Ross, did you want to add to
005that? Um, again, I will do what is best for most people. I'm a little bit flexible, but I do reiterate what Judy said. We had this conversation before the election and you said no problem. So, I feel a little disturbed that now there's a problem. So, sorry. Okay. Um, the only thing I don't mind, you know, 3:00, 4 o'clock is getting into dinner hour and stuff, so I really don't want to go that late. >> Okay. So, Gail's thinking 3 o'clock. Judy, >> I'm good with three o'clock. >> Okay, Cammy. Okay, so I'm going to say a couple things. First of all, I think it's important that the board everybody's here and I think that we've gotten away with that and it's hard to do work. We've tabled a lot of things. we've moved things
006around and so my goal is I'm just as everyone else is to have everybody here participating so we can be productive. That's like the number one thing. But that being said, if we're focusing on this being an actual board meeting um and putting the principles aside, we do not want to put them in the middle of any of it. The board needs to decide what the board can do to work. we're the ones that are going to have to work together to make this productive. Um, in the past work sessions, like Dena stated earlier, they've changed that when we're running things can change, times change, and so I think this board moving forward with 2026, we have the flexibility to make it work for everybody just as we have in the past. Um, I don't
007want to do backtoback. We've tried that. It's exhausting. I don't think that we mentally are able to concentrate. Um I think we're just all stuck right now because if we agree to three, that's still putting you an hour and 15 minutes out of the meeting. >> That is giving principles more time though. >> Yeah, that is giving principles. >> Mrs. G, do you have a print out of the calendar? Because there's no attachment >> here. >> It's not on mine. >> Here's the print out. Thanks. Is there other than the time I want to see if there's any other Okay. So, what time do you officially get out of school, Sandra? >> Oh, so you get out of So, you get out of school every at 4 o'clock. >> And is that every day? So,
008is there a reason we couldn't move the because of the teacher stuff? We can't move the meetings to Wednesdays. >> They have paid professional development. >> Would we be able to change the meeting to a Wednesday? >> I think they have half day. Don't they have days and stuff like that? >> It's on Wednesdays, Dr. >> It's a It's a PD day, but it's not every Wednesday. It's intermittent. So would Wednesday at What time do you get out, Sandra? On Wednesdays? >> So would 2:30 work on Wednesdays? >> Oh, you're here. >> Oh, there she is. >> Told you 4:15 is perfect for me. >> Whose phone is working? >> Okay, so >> him. Okay. So, you get out every Wednesday at >> two o'clock. >> Yeah. Technically, that's my PD as well, but there
009are some Wednesdays I could probably make, >> but we have to be consistent. So, >> yes, but I don't know off the top of my head. It's The first Wednesday does not. >> So we don't have to worry if we stick to the second and the fourth Wednesdays. >> Yes. Well, the board meetings can be Tuesdays. That I'm okay with >> The regular meeting, but the work sessions, if we could do them on Wednesdays, that would that would >> So that's the So right now, our work sessions are Do you know you have Oh, I have the calendar, too. >> So the work sessions are the second Tuesday of every month. Wednesday. >> If we changed it to the second Wednesday at 2:00, would that or I'm sorry, 2:30, would that work for you? >>
010I do. And I think it's the second Wednesday >> that does work or doesn't >> doesn't work. That's the only one that I'm required to be at. The other ones I did probably get out. probably [laughter] >> then we're right back to where we started. >> I get done at four. >> Could we do the >> first? >> No, the second I cannot. >> Oh, I thought you said the first. >> So, could we do the first Wednesday of the month? >> Yes. So, if we did the first Wednesday of the month, I'm trying to think this through and then >> I think we probably should do the third Wednesday >> and then we have our our regular meeting after that the following week. >> Only because have our work session and then the following
011week we have a regular meeting. Oh, thank you. >> Right. But Wednesdays typically are not >> instead of doing the first and the fourth >> the third and the fourth >> Wednesday >> regular meeting. >> Yeah. every Wednesday. I think it would be better. >> What about the first Wednesday? That works. >> Okay. So, first Wednesday of the month, we'll make the meetings. I'd say 3:00 just to give us time and give the principles more time. >> It's up to you. making it on the hour instead of half hour, >> right? But if we're also considering the principles, the principles, you're sure that the principles are not required to be here. >> They are required to be here. >> Yeah, that's >> No, and I agree. I think them being in person. >> Oh, wait.
012But if we're doing it on Wednesday, that's their PD day. >> On the first not every Wednesday is a PD day. It varies, >> but that's not that's not a concern to a board meeting. >> Okay. It really isn't. It's a as Cammy said before, it's a board meeting, >> right? >> It's not. So, it's your meeting, >> right? >> So, whenever you choose it, we're going to be here. >> I think it's more important for us to be together and start working because it's time consuming when we're having to table and do things and we have to get things done. So I think whatever is productive for us then you know occasionally maybe the principles won't be here then our then Nikki our PR can get that out like we've talked about but having
013the board members here is more important. >> I was just thinking in consideration principles if they have to be here but if they don't >> but he wants them you Pablo, >> it's it's not about whether they're here or not. It's your meeting. It's your meeting time. They're they're going to do what they need to do to make that work and I'm going to work with them. >> What time does RPV start? >> So, because they get out at different times, they have different start times. >> Okay. >> Would they be done about their job? Well, they will they will be they will be done and coming over as they finish. >> Okay. >> First Wednesday. >> Okay. >> Say that again. Mrs. G. Sorry. Well, we'll just approve the calendar with the change in
014the work session >> to 3:00 first day of the month. >> Okay. Does this work for everybody? >> I think that works for everybody. Go ahead. >> Hang on. >> Well, I don't know that it works yet because So, I'm going to go back to Cammy statement that it's important for us to be at all the meetings together. Right. So, does that remember you made some meetings joint, right? That you have. >> Oh, that's right. So you need to you need to look at those before you go forward. That's all I want to add to that. >> Which ones are join? >> So we did November. >> December. >> Yeah. December is not >> December is >> I thought we changed November. Mrs. Kim, >> November is two different dates. >> November 10 is the
015second Tuesday of the month. >> And that's and then that's the work session. We can't have the meeting >> on November 11 is when we're good on November we are good because it's two in >> Wednesday November 11 it's Wednesday second Tuesday. >> Oh, so we need the first Wednesday. >> Yeah. So that's fine. >> So we're good. >> So we only changed I thought we talked about making November though and getting No, >> we which was December. Okay. >> So, is this wrong then? If we change, >> we better just >> Why don't we just let her put it together and then bring it back to the next meeting for approval? >> Right. Yeah. >> Right. Right. And then also I think that rules too because we talked about merging December or is that
016there >> December is merged >> the same day? >> I think we're thinking November to merge. >> Okay. >> Right. Because we said last >> That's what I thought we were I thought we were going >> because we didn't want to do the two meetings in November, >> right? >> November. So, we want to merge November. >> Yeah, I think I think November was supposed to be merged. >> Yeah, but we might want to merge. >> Why would you merge November? >> Because it's right around holiday. It's just too much. >> It's hard with >> Thanksgiving and everything. >> So, you would move the 24th up to the 10th. >> No, it would just be November 24th would be >> Both of them at one time. >> Okay. >> I think we I was thinking
017I was thinking the 24th go up to the beginning of the month. >> So, moving forward. >> Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was trying to get away from that day for Thanksgiving. That's what I was thinking. >> Okay. >> So, November 17. >> December. >> Yeah. I think we were talking about November. >> We have to change the work session in December. >> We would have to change the December work session then. >> I know. But we would have to change that for Sandler. December, >> right? >> The work session. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yes. So then December 8th will be the normal board meeting, >> right? >> Okay.
