001[Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] everybody's here I called to order the workshop for Bullhead City Elementary School Board on Thursday October 13th at 5 30 PM roll call Cory Burgess here Amanda Amon here Charlene Diaz here Anna Boyd here Melinda here all present thank you um item 1.3 uh canine search demo presented by Sergeant Kelly McCool uh with Mohave County Sheriff's Department sergeant yeah what a good looking boy first of all what's the dog's name and everybody's like look at the dog can you sit sit cheers thank you so I'm Sergeant Kelly McCallum County Sheriff's Office I work at a kingdom primarily there's another deputy there named Kevin ganoe he has a canine as well we have a canine down in this area he's in the Havasu Mojave Valley area Fort
002Mohave we're hoping to add another canine beer soon we think we may have a candidate hopefully and then we have one more canine India's up on the Arizona Utah strip so he's not really accessible for you guys uh this is Chase he is a Dutch Shepherd he's six and a half years old and I've had him for five years uh Chase is what we call a dual certified dog so he's certified not only in Handler protection or apprehension tracking things of that nature Patrol functions he's also certified in a detection of Narcotics he's currently nationally certified in the protection of marijuana methamphetamine cocaine and heroin every year they do a national certification in fact this is coming up in November and he'll get recertified in that which comes in handy whenever we have to testify
003and forth and whatnot um iPad Chase from right at five years when I got him again had a lot of skills he was real good at eating food dispensing that food and making Messes in the house he's come a long way I have two it's my first dog I've never had a police canine before in my career so it's been a big challenge to learn as much as I can about him and through that time I got to pick up a lot of the cues that he has and whatnot each dog has different behaviors as far as their indications alerts things like that so one of the things I'm going to do for you tonight or probably the only thing I'll do for you tonight is in the room I've been some narcotics I understand
004that's becoming a big problem in the school I think it was a big problem I think it's become magnified I know our districts have seen that in in Kingman and I think a big part that's probably the legalization of marijuana just made it that much more accessible so what we've done in Kingman we've done it here we've done it at the high school here in Bullhead uh Mojave accelerated learning we've done some some Snips there and whatnot the river there's a River Valley High School down in Mojave Valley we've done some sniffs there and whatnot and what we've done is we'll bring the dogs into the school we make sure we don't buy light any fourth Fourth Amendment search and seizures there's a really good case law it's called Portland versus uh Goose Creek if
005you want to look that up and what that is is in the 70s there was a very big drug problem in Texas and they brought in dogs and let dogs go through the classrooms and and that that case law was Horton versus Goose Creek and let the dogs go through the classes while the students were in the class some students sued the uh police department and the school saying hey you violated our fourth amendment that's unreasonable and one of the instances one of the girl talked about she had a very big fear of large dogs she's taken a French test and the dog is sniffing coming around the class and sniffing in her feet and things like that so to avoid any of those complications what we do or what we have done in the
006passes we'll go to a school and they'll have all the kids leave a classroom and leave their items and we'll run the dog through the classroom that way it's not a sniff of the person it's a sniff of the area we run around cars like at River Valley High School we've just run them through the parking lot so they can sniff the cars the amazing thing about the dogs is that because of their ability to smell it's sometimes up to ten thousand times stronger than ours they're able to locate and search a big area quite a bit faster than we could if we would open personal food we use them a lot for building searches if we're going to clear a building because they can smell a person so much better and their ears work
007so much better and whatnot so they're a huge asset to us hopefully we'll add a couple more of the the Big Challenge right now is to try to find handlers that are that are dedicated and uh can handle the responsibility we we always ask our guys for at least a three-year commitment but once you get a knucklehead like this you don't really want to leave him after three years yeah so these guys go to right around nine to ten years of age it just kind of depends on the amount of service that they see in the amount of wear and tear that they see so far all of our dogs have been really healthy uh what's the worst thing you've had buddy don't be shy man of many words right there um when I first
008got him he had a cut on his paw he actually had ringworm which was really where really rare and uh he actually had like a tick disease you're like a train wreck I didn't even know it let's take it back to the car dealer you're a lemon you think about that he's been good he's been extremely healthy he's done really well for me uh We've we've worked with our drug interdiction forces and and quite a quite a few other agencies and whatnot because he is certified in marijuana you see in a little bit less use some agencies don't want to use them because of marijuana being legal you don't want to infringe on somebody's rights to have something legal so there's a very big process to go through to be able to use them but
009what I'm gonna do with him tonight is uh Chase does everything for a toy or for play that's all he cares about is playing so you may see it you may not I have a toy on my person it's under my armpit he knows that it sits next to my driver's seat he can see me through his back cage and when I take that toy out his attention immediately knows what we're doing it's kind of a cue to him that hey we're going to go search for drugs he couldn't care about drugs all he knows is that if he smells it and he does an indication to let me know that he smells it in a specific place his toy just magically drops out of the sky it's like the greatest thing it's like a
010Christmas morning in presence Paul so um I I was down here they'd have they each have some individual behaviors that they uh that they pick up and whatnot have you guys ever heard of Pavlov havelock's dog he has developed a very specific reaction like that sometimes these guys will get frustrated we got really watch their behaviors their change of behaviors and sometimes if he's searching and searching and searching and searching he's not finding he might go forget it I know if I scratch dad drops a toy and he'll just start scratching something well like Pavlov's dog when he gets into odor he starts to salivate real heavy and voluntarily because his mind is holding this is when the when the toy comes so he's learned to associate that it's really a neat response all of
011our dogs minus the dog that's in the Mojave Valley Lake Havasu area or what's called an aggressive alert aggressive indication and what that means is they're trained to scratch when we get our dogs when we teach them to indicate for us we kind of go with our natural inclination some dogs want to put their nose on it and just sit real still and our trainers have trained them to just sit at that point to let us know to indicate it was one of the ones that as he smelled it he's trying to claw it and get at it so we just let him go with that natural information so he's what we call an aggressive indication so in this room I hid something if I'm going to do a search with him I'll let him
012see his toy he knows what we're doing I put it under my arm thoughts make sure he's laying down start showing him areas that I want him to search and whatnot his mic on it might come right by you don't pet him don't worry he's not going to grab you hopefully I'm just giving you something we've only lost five arms that way but you know we're not going to go with six anymore but I'm gonna show him what I wanted to search I'm going to take his leash off if you can see him a little bit he starts to shake a little bit because he's excited I've known that right now as soon as he gets to that area now he's stopped and now he's taking closed mouth breaths I know that that's part of
013his alert is that that change of behavior alerts me to the owner now he's putting his nose in the general area they don't always pinpoint but as he gets his nose in that area and he starts finding it he should start scratching at some point okay [Music] that's all we care about getting the toy come here pause see it oh watch so we'll see if he's right he usually is so I get methamphetamine and marijuana he's usually right and now his toy which he loves he gives it back to me I don't let him have the toy continuously because if he has a toy all the time just like kids that have cell phones or any other toy it becomes old cat instead he gets in a very short amount of time he has to
014give it back and that's why he is so excited about it whatever it is and again he sees the toy that's all I want opposed pose Plus you can keep it away from me I mean that you know we gotta we gotta make sure you don't lose that leg I got you oh hey you got the dog slime my wife washes my clothes at the end of the day I train and she's like what is that yeah I promise and he's happy again all right guys so that is Chase our Wonder mud do you guys have any questions for me or anything oh you dropped it that's your problem so he's a he's a drug dog he is a drug dog and also a patrol dog yes ma'am can he be used to find vaping
015in the classroom as long as it is uh a lot of The Vape stuff is uh um narcotics based because it's based off marijuana so yes same thing as long as it's made of one of those elements you know it has marijuana cocaine that amphetamine or heroin in it which vaping is a directive depending on debate cannot now we do have some dogs in Arizona our next dogs will probably not be uh certified on marijuana but we hope they will be certified on fentanyl because that's our huge problem right now it's becoming a worse and worse problem they just saw Navajo County is it last night a deputy shot the car got the two people out of the car and uh went to search it dude and the drums back in the driver's seat takes
016off leaves the female lets his passenger they became her chased the car for three miles guy bails they finally find him and they get one and a half million dollars of technicals in the park it's just coming up it's coming up from across the border and it's just coming up in huge huge amounts yes our kids right now but we do know we have a vape marijuana issue so they've been marijuana that's why we wanted a demo because our our middle school and our uh junior high would would like some assistance sure so if you guys need us to come or want us to come you can either email me or you can contact me through my office the Sheriff's Office number is very easy it's 928-753-0753 and they can put you through to my
017extension and leave me a voicemail for your wife too or you can email me my email is Nick cook kind of my last name Nicole but McCook mojave.com you know um uh Black Mountain is a school that I've been to a lot in uh in Golden Valley because they're having a huge problem as well the kids are smart on this too just so you know the kids have now figured out I don't know they figured out that we can't sniff the kids actually but they don't lose stuff in their backpacks anymore so it becomes a bigger chore as we sniff the lockers we can sniff the plastic as of yet we have yet to find something which is good but we know the problem is there so we just figured they'd just count smarter than
018the gap yep any other questions or anything from you no okay well we appreciate it thank you very much oh my God thank you thank you guys oh there you go chase is on the case my nephews are big Paw Patrol so when it's chased by Mike cell phone people if only high school kids were that easy like their cell phones [Laughter] maybe but that was quite enlightening that was incredible yeah all right okay moving on it's gonna be a tough act to follow up yeah that's why we put it first yes we did we did we didn't put it at the end to be your toy right yes yes that sounds good all right moving on item 1.4 regulation ebcra emergencies new and EBC RB emergencies renamed abcrc emergencies new Dr Stewart Mr President
019and board members so I'm not sure you're recalled but we talked about policy EBC last month or the month before one or the other and realized that we only had one regulation it had to do with first aid and there are a lot of other emergencies going on so I had Cass search uh policy bridge for other districts to find out what else might be there that we might need so these two I thought were really important just the one that verifies that we set up our emergency plans which all of our sites do and then the other one that um CE BRB is ours just renamed and then cast what is the RC I don't remember oh and just the general guidelines so uh we just thought these were a couple of good additional
020regulations for us to formalize things that we really already do and since these are all three regulations um unless you have changes that you want to make they are on the agenda tonight they don't require more than one reading for approval so this gives you an opportunity to tell us if you want anything changed any questions on item 1.4 5 policy jlcb immunization of students and glcbr immunization of students Dr Stewart well things happen and last month one of the things that came from the policy advisory were changes in the immunizations and then in so it would have been on them on the board agenda tonight as a second reading but they made some additional changes this month so this is now I will be on it is on the agenda as a first reading
021tonight and then the regulation will be on next month when when we have the second reading there's no point in approving or regulation when you don't have the policy approved yet so it is annotated for the changes that they are recommending any questions on 1.5 1.6 regulation kdbr Public's right to know and Freedom of Information and uh Mr President board members this is similar uh this is this came out in the past month with some additional changes so this is just regulations so it will be for Action as well any questions no and it's more of a you know it's the procedure in and how people how parents and families can recommend our request uh the information okay item 1.7 policy JD jldab referrals and other to other agencies regulations jldbr referrals to other agencies
022exhibit jld Abe referrals to other agencies uh Mr President and board members vote most folks refer to this as Jake's law and so this gives us some additional authorization and procedures for recommending students getting some assistance for emotional and those kinds of issues we all know that our kids have some baggage and certainly more baggage now since the pandemic than they had before so it's very nice to make it a little easier for us as schools and particularly for teachers and counselors to be able to recommend to families some additional assistance and make it easier for kids to get that assistance any questions okay moving on to item 1.8 governing board cell survey Stuart well this one's really up to you there's a summary here for you of uh or you received I'm sorry a
023summary of your self-avail and it's an opportunity if you all want to talk about yourselves as a board [Laughter] anything that stood out as peculiar or uh he'd mentioned is this available for the public it was not but um we thought you all ought to see it first but if you want to make it available to the public we certainly can do that I think we should um so we can know how we feel about ourselves right um I think I think one of the things you could I think one of the things you can do is direct Cass uh when she writes the minutes to attach it to attach it as a public document in minutes and that way it's available for the public to see anyone have any issues with that no I
024think that'd be great okay that's good all right let's do that so directive even though this isn't really an action thing but uh but still I think you can you know you can just say hey let's make this available okay all right uh 1.9 um it occurred to me that y'all might want to see kind of where we were with all of our projects uh Cass if you'll put that PDF up please Yep this one so uh we have lots of things in the works now I will tell you that many of these things are Esser related you know related to that whole project and we have a whole lot of other things that were not projects that have already been accomplished with Esser funding so uh you know things like uh Promethean boards and
025um tablets for some of our sped teachers and some equipment for our health offices and those kinds of things so those were more purchased items than they were projects so these are our current projects and it includes both Esser projects and regular budget our capital budget projects so the first one you remember are huge uh our huge sewer project next door that is complete and so I thought this was a good way for us to kind of keep track of when things start and how they're proceeding the Diamondback entrance project a good bit of that work is done all they're doing is waiting Redmond's is waiting for the metal frame the new metal framing and it's extruded metal so they're waiting for that to be manufactured as soon as it arrives they take out the
026old frame put in the new frame put in the glass Us in the doors that's like a Friday Saturday project so it's it's about half complete and it's just kind of on hold waiting for the materials the Ada access at Fox Creek no one bit no one bit on that and we've learned that none of the elevator companies want to do those elevators because of course they are for folks with handicapped conditions and they've been sued a lot so we're going to be revisiting that plan and try to come up with a new way for that to work um Transportation the the cover for the fuel um excuse me for the um fuel tanks and whatever we have we have all of the stuff here we're waiting on City Engineers to approve installation um the
027restroom remodel in the big building is complete awesome the other is on hold rather simply for me to find more information for you all and get some quotes and some prices for you the den project you can see that's our longest longest one planning out you have some action on tonight's board meeting to move that forward since we've decided to do it as a a development kind of project as opposed to pieces and uh so the RFQ the request for qualifications document which is about 30 pages long is with the attorney right now he has said he will have it to me next week you know to for us to put out pending your approval of those other documents tonight and uh HVAC project 61 units I think they have about 10 or 11 in
028the week of Thanksgiving they plan to come those first three days and put in a lot of them we don't know the number exactly but I'm guessing more than half so that'll be moving along very quickly the week of Thanksgiving carpet replacement we haven't moved a whole lot with that but because we were doing the samples in the room the music room at Bullhead middle school and some classrooms up at Fox Creek but that those seem to be working well so we'll be moving on that um fire panel replacement it was a good thing that we had this in our plans although we far underestimated because it isn't really the pain just the panels being replaced as it turns out we will be replacing fire systems at all Sites except sunrise so uh we're paying
029some out of the grants and Jenny Beck has done a great job of submitting them to our to the sfb although that's not what it's called anymore but they've approved the others so uh this will these will be moving forward the hold up is going to be that we want them all to have Digital Phone connections to fire department and 9-1-1 and whatever that module is not available right now anywhere in the U.S so they all get all the wiring in they'll get everything all set up and and we'll do everything we can to have them going except for that little piece so there'll be a hold up on this and we're working closely with the fire department because it means that at our sites where the fire alarm systems are not working when people
030are on campus we have someone dedicated to be walking campus the entire time to make sure we don't have any fires so a kind of a complicated system security cameras are here and they're being installed we hope that that will be completed by winter break and then we have determined that our weakest point on all of our campuses we've determined where that is I'm not going to say it because we don't really need that out there out there for folks but fencing is a big issue so we're going to be focusing a lot of our Capital fund processes and projects on fencing where we need that done for security of our campuses um and then the weakest entry in our district is the entry at the middle school you all have been there you know
031you can walk in that front door and you could walk anywhere on campus without anybody knowing you're there and so we already have uh bids for putting a a second wall a wall inside and directing traffic into the office we would still have a fire exit and and all of that kind of thing but that would increase the security of that campus significantly so that will be that will be a project that I'll present this the details to you next month so and that's kind of where we are awesome I do like this spreadsheet it makes it easy to see where we're sitting the things I thought you might I'd been thinking about it for a month or so and and I thought man it's so much easier for me if I have a visual
032um and also to keep in mind what all of our projects are you know because we've got a lot of them and and it's easy to start focusing on one and then kind of forget about the others and not keep track of those so uh yeah so I found this actually this was a template in Excel and I thought oh I'm going to steal that and I didn't steal it but I mean you know use it because it really is a visual and I like visuals a lot so I thought you might appreciate that too and then I can you can see that column five is the one highlighted because that's this month I put the the months down at the bottom and so each time we can you know we can focus on where
033are we this month in each of these projects so I thank you for the good feedback on that I appreciate it maybe we can get something like this with all those repairs that were behind on oh my goodness I will tell you we'd have to have right now we'd have to have 1400 lines but we'd at least know the board would know where we're at we would know where we are at my site maybe we could maybe do that yeah this is how we're coming up yeah so we do see that progress Absolutely I'll work on something like that and work with Mark on it I will tell you that we hired a plumber today and uh yeah and uh he's going to be really busy and of course our HVAC person is really busy
034already but um uh I the other thing I will tell you is on Monday when they all started and the the two new Vans and the other van that we're converting to be used I went over to see uh I actually went over to see how they were set up in the office over there and you know how Market got in the office set up and and that kind of thing and I pulled up I was going somewhere else so I was driving I pulled up and I got out of the car I I will tell you that I was blinded by the smiles on the faces of the maintenance people and Mark they were so excited about the the new tasks you know not so much new tests but the new assignments and those
035kinds of things and that was real fun to see they've been and they've been busy this week let me tell you they've been busy so they're liking it so we've got some updates on how we're coming on all this absolutely we will have updates we're only we're only three days in four days in so I don't have a lot of updates for you today but um but yeah next month we'll have a we'll have a real good handle on where we are any other questions all right we need item 1.10 motion to adjourn the workshop I'll move that we adjourn the workshop Amanda Eamon I'll second that Charlene Diaz all in favor aye Corey Burgess aye Amanda amen aye Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabrowski Summit we are adjourned all right it is

038is being done to resolve that issue because now I know it's coming like in candy forms and uh you know my son he's like well you know Dad I really don't know what to do you know kids I'm scared they're gonna like put stuff in my bag of lunch like the other day he was at school and they went in his bag and they threw everything out of his bag and he's always Dad I don't even know who touched my lunch like somebody was just in my lunch and touched it it was gone and I was like what he's like yeah that was just like two days ago then um I know today there was an issue with the gun like a girl came to school she was threatening to shoot the school that was
039my issue I heard that's what my son said I want to say thank you guys for having that stopped you know um that was that was a good thing but uh also the issue with the fentanyl is there like anything else we can do to like maybe put a dog on campus I think we had talked about that talked about you know with the principal and I guess that kind of like violates people's rights or territory or there's some type of law that protects that so I don't know what do you guys haven't planned to kind of like keep the drugs out of this school any issues that you guys know the result the only problem is it's not an agendized item so we can't it is so we can actually just later okay um
040but we did have a workshop earlier where we had the Miami County here with their dog uh some of these questions did come up yes um but we will be discussing this one I think eight one it's coming up yeah yeah we can actually discuss it then we can't discuss it now though oh okay not a problem okay all right we appreciate it okay no definitely thank you guys so please thank you stick around for eight one yeah it might be a little bit but thank you for that yeah all right uh item 2.6 adoption of the agenda do we have a motion to adopt the agenda I'll make a motion to adopt the agenda and avoid second Melinda sabrowski all in favor aye Corey Burgess I'm in Eamon aye Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd
041nice I'm Melinda sabrowski so I moved item 2.7 donations uh we'd like to thank all those who have stepped up and donated for our schools again once again as they always do uh Safeway donated gift cards value to forty dollars Sunrise received a donor's Choice donated two classroom projects valued at 391.38 cents an anonymous donor donated 500 Nikki School parent communication folders by 725 dollars uh Switzer engineering Laboratories um Kara Vincent V donated a hundred dollars our community is fantastic about stepping up and helping us in all these ways and it is greatly appreciated uh thank you so much okay item 2.8 superintendent reports Dr Stewart uh Mr President and board members you have the written reports uh financial report uh three of them actually and uh facilities report I've kind of changed the name
042of that I have gotten a little tired of saying maintenance custodial and Landscaping and I thought there has to be one word that kind of kind of covers all of that so I've started using the term facilities and that report will look different in the future but I wanted to kind of let you know where we were right now um I don't have any miscellaneous updates that I can think of right now and but we'll answer any questions you might have no the only thing um with the ids60 ones with the discipline reports that we're seeing and seeing that we're having a large uh increase or large issues that we've been having at the middle and Fox Creek is there any way to like maybe have a comparison here we go with the charts again
043right uh but September but put the August one next to it so we can see are they going up are they coming down are they staying steady is any intervention that we're going to do are doing is showing any results I think that's a great idea um and and I'm I would suspect that since we are implementing some stronger it's not necessarily stronger consequences but we're you're going to see a spike and that's okay and that is okay that's okay but yeah I think I think that's an excellent idea for us to see from month to month yeah I mean if if we're seeing a spike because we're doing things such as you know cracking down and holding you know students more accountable than I I mean I'm okay with that Spike because we know
044why it's just if they lull and nothing changes that we're having the same issues then right yeah excellent idea we'll we'll Implement that any other questions I was up at Diamondback I took donuts up there to their PD and I was very impressed with with the people they they actually said I said you know I'll I'll come in and read a book I'll do a science experiment with you I'll do whatever it takes and um actually they came up and said what is your November calendar look like so you know like it's a it's very positive you know when I went and did that Sunrise is next we'll see what happens Chris is making a list [Laughter] any other uh board member updates Carolyn and Carolyn and I went to the rural yes rural schools
045and uh I learned a lot about rural schools they uh we have all the same problems and they are completely different than the Metropolitan schools I think I met some people that were very interesting to talk to and caroling made some good contacts plus that I won a Visa card for a hundred bucks that was a hundred bucks card so more Donuts more Donuts yeah you got it um I was very happy to go and I will go again I went to the county asba meeting um and I was very disappointed uh there were like four schools five schools represented and the rest of us stayed home if we're going to act as a team if we're going to act as a community we need to have some Community involvement I would suggest that next
046time they have have a conference like that that we actually send more than just Melinda to this conference I know Carolyn you were doing a CA Awards I was judging that night and and so you know every year they rotate where it's the county meeting so Melinda's comment that five out of the 14 districts you know I I can understand why that would be a little disappointing um you know so if there were a couple of people from each district it would first of all it would help as be a state people because it's an opportunity to talk directly with them about what our issues are yeah and we didn't get to do much of that because there were just not enough people there to talk about this and we do have some issues being
047rural mm-hmm okay thank you any other board member updates okay moving on uh item three the consent agenda any uh issues or things need to be pulled from the consent agenda if not we need a motion to approve the consent agenda is submitted wait wait wait wait wait um I would like us to discuss uh there was a teacher who who bailed on their contract it's been moved to the new it's been moved to new business okay then I guess we're okay with that then can we get a motion to approve the consent agenda a move that we approve the consent agenda as percentage Charlene Diaz I'll second that motion and a Boyd all in favor aye Corey Burgess aye Amanda Ayman aye Charlene Diaz I Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabreski so moved um item

054okay um Carolyn gave us an article from The Washington Post and I think that her intent this is my my thinking so I'm not sure but I think her intent was to show that we who are having um employment problems we're employing but I was devastated and I was not devastated necessarily because we didn't have the teachers involved I was devastated because it was not complementary in any shape or form it called us uh it pointed out teacher sorted it talked about student Behavior and it talked about having being considered a failing school district or suitable system so what I'm going to propose is that we come up with a program that would perhaps help us with some discipline and some of it is going backward a little bit I believe that my first prong
055of this thing is to put together an alternative school a separate school from us and I believe that Charlene you were here when we had an alternative school School well no this is a different alternative school and I'd like and I I asked Cindy Cochran to be here tonight because she ran it is a whole different School than what we have right now so I'd like you to and Carolyn I'm not sure were you here when we had the alternative school I was and I will tell you that that what I I know what we are and I'm not trying to be argumentative or anything but I understand what you think our alternative school is like because of what it's been the last few years what I will say to you is that what it
056is now is not what it has been the last few years and uh and it is much closer to what and Cynthia's shaking her head nodding her head as well um uh we're well on the way to having a an alternative setting that helps students change behaviors and make better choices and and that kind of thing and and um uh so I understand what your perception is from the last few years what I'm suggesting is that that's not what we have these days and uh and it is a it is a much you know a much more structured environment and much more much more focused on helping student truly helping students change their behaviors do we have any data coming out of that well we've only had kids in there for about three weeks okay
057okay and uh um and I appreciate what you're saying about uh about us beefing things up and that's our intent Mr Osuna and Mr Eastman and Miss Cochran and and Miss Patterson particularly because that's where we've been having the issues and and really and what I mean by beefing it up is in spite of the fact that we really would like to have restorative kinds of things and have kids involved in in US establishing uh the kind of culture we want at the school but right now what we need is to send very loud messages to kids and parents that we're not going to tolerate the levels of disruption and the levels of disrespect and and the levels of of substance abuse which is which is a form of disrespect and uh whatever and then
058any aggressive behaviors we're having on the campus obviously send those messages without blowing a whistle in class absolutely you know absolutely I mean we we talk about the the major consequences but also what are we doing to deter those because one of the things that was brought up was Fentanyl and that that's something we're addressing at the high school level too that I mean the high school school board was just talking about it again also and that being such a big thing and and the scare right now is everybody has to have conversations with their their children Halloween's coming up and you have to worry about them looking like Smarties and being handed out for candy and so I mean can we get someone in to talk can we get someone into these programs and
059and I'm not saying K4 but like five six seven like can we get them in sooner than later and start talking to them about these things and and you know and they're and they're working on both sites have have started uh the process Cynthia had a family uh uh parent meeting this week and had outstanding attendance um and you and I you all are Educators so you know how difficult it is sometimes to get parents to come starting at about fifth grade and certainly uh more difficult on up I know that Fox Creek is a really pushing for apparent uh apparent night to talk about these issues um and Melinda you know I I didn't contact Washington Post they contacted me and and whatever and uh and Eli will be back the reporter will be
060back um yeah I was a little stunned about the way it came out on the other hand I taught Nicole I taught in those classrooms that that teacher came to teach in and those those kids had had different teachers every day since the beginning of school they don't represent the whole student body and yet you're right it the brutal truth that came in the article made it sound like they did but I went up there and I taught in a different classroom as a volunteer and I had the same problems not just one classroom no no it isn't it is you know when you when you start looking at these papers right you know 105 discipline referrals in less than 30 days you know I mean and you're going to see more five I mean
061you're going to see more one of the things that we've been and and I hesitate to say soft because I I don't want to throw Mr Osuna under the bus because he doesn't deserve that but I know that effective what last week Mr Osuna that he and Mr Eastman decided that if a student is actually sent out of a class for being disruptive they're going home it's not in school suspension it's not talk to them and go back to class it is their going home because that generates a conversation with the family parents need to be parents need to be working with us they need to be part of the solution with their kids and uh and and the other thing I really want to say we have seen no sign of fentanyl in our
062schools so I want you to know that I asked the officer that simply because they've been the both sites have been trying to get arranged for the dogs to come and do sweeps on campus part of it is raise the raise the level of awareness and anxiety of the students a little bit and I'm sorry to say it that way but that's kind of what you have to do but I also wanted to know if fentanyl were showing up is the dog capable of identifying that and if we've had the issues we have the issues with marijuana and we have the issues with vaping and it's not always marijuana vaping but even vaping in anything is dangerous for kids nobody knows what's in those vape pens or the wax pens and and it's and I
063sent you photos of all of the different ways that they hide uh those drugs you know even things that look like a wristwatch and they charge like USB ports and they put them in the computers and they charge them just like they're anything else yeah and so uh you know so this has been a wake-up call for us to make some changes I just want to say something is that I know you said K4 probably shouldn't but I will tell you that I personally have had conversations with my third grade grandson sixth grade granddaughter and um High School granddaughter and you know specifically talked about fentanyl specifically talked about don't take things from people don't you know don't drink anything you know you have to as parents grandparents you have to have those conversations with
064them yes you can't just assume they're gonna know so what I would say is I'm not opposed to that but maybe that's an end of the fourth grade going into fifth grade or that's some some literature and some things that we can send home with parents we can post on our social media we can send you newsletters out you know we can get what it looks like what it happens what the effects are you know what do you do if your friend all of a sudden is laying on the ground unresponsive you don't just stand there and go oh I don't want to get in trouble like those types of conversations those are tough conversations to have with little kids like I've had them with my kids since they were little like being in education
065I tell my kids all the time do not leave your backpacks unattended do not leave your car unlocked do not do these things because people are mean they're gonna get into your stuff they're gonna they could put stuff in your items and in your belongings you know or transfer something out you know um do we have ones in our in our four eight do we utilize those often yes okay and then my other question is since we're we're starting to do like sending them home and stuff do we use Behavior contracts at all yes okay and how stringent are our Behavior contracts like does that include like discipline whether it's minor all the way up okay does that include grades and attendance and tardies we use it for attendance as well because okay just something
066I've just to add into what what's going on my concern and I understand where Mr Rossi is coming from this um few years ago we had at Fox Creek you weren't Administration there but we had 2500 write-ups in one year it was it was Mayhem it was Mayhem we now have those students at the high school when they don't know that there's uh repercussions for their actions we had students that were getting 40 and 50 write-ups and my question then was why are we not seeing this at the board how is it possible that somebody can get 40 write-ups and we don't know about it um I just just listening to the alternative school I remember the pathways program and I think that's what we called it when it was here we did um and
067personally I loved it I loved it because um in in the classroom setting your entire Dynamics change removing that one student it changes now we we do have to think about you know what we're doing with all these kids and and how we're educating all those kids I get that but I just can say that me as a board member would absolutely support sending them down the road if they don't want to be an active participant of what's going on in our classrooms I would sit here tell whatever hours it took in hearings if need be and send that message that this is not going to be tolerated I am fully behind that um I wouldn't be but I wouldn't we've got the location I wouldn't you know I I like that I like the
068pathways program that we had back then I did the problem being in a Cynthia probably will tell you is that personnel and and trying to staff that with and they have to be very specific type of personnel to deal with behavior issues and those types of things you know we're having hard enough time getting teachers into a regular classroom so you know I I'm not opposed to that but we need to consider the fact that okay we still have to staff it I wouldn't I would invite you to come see how it is run now and I will tell you we have excellent personnel and and having been a principal and occasionally getting students back from Pathways unfortunately most of the time they came back the same way they left so but what I want
069to see is that they go and there has to be the consequence but then there also has to be something to help them change their behaviors change their uh their reactions to things and and that's the balance we're trying trying to find so Carolyn yeah because we do have a a shortage of counselors why can't we why can't we partner with Mojave mental health absolutely behavioral why can't we actually bring them into the school and we've been having that they did that last year we had I mean on a regular basis not just monthly but I mean on a regular basis once or twice a week have a group of kids if we're talking about kids who have lost a year because of covid a year of social emotional development then we need to be
070providing that yes and the third thing I think we need to make parents uh accountable yes absolutely and then make them accountable and I like the idea of sending them home um I um the the new New Leaf we've turned in our in our community with the truancy is Heaven Sent um and and I can tell you that it's it's an eye-opener for kids when they get to go to court now and it's discussed and you will be at school here are your consequences now is successful with every kid absolutely not there is no perfect program but we can't ignore the problem because other things haven't worked we have to keep trying to come up with a new one and maybe and I like this if you're if yours if we got this problem but
071this three strike thing you said that's big to me I mean if you're if you're a repetitive problem this we got to figure something else so that would kind of be my follow-up is how many strikes do they get going up to the three strike rule then well that's and that's the thing that if we're giving them 15 strikes and then they get three more okay well I got 17 before I had anything happen to me so and that's the thing that they would be if the breaks there that's the thing they've beefed up is that um uh and if you noticed if you noticed in the handbooks this year we took out that that table that said you know here's what happens first here's what happens second and not that they don't use that
072there are times when it's appropriate and you need to use Progressive discipline but there are times when it's appropriate that you cut to the Chase and and Melinda I really appreciate what you're saying about the counseling thing um and and this new this policy uh is is one that legally lets us it kind of gives us as a school district a little bit of teeth to help parents move in that direction and I I think the more times we get the parents involved early the more times that kids are going to be more successful number one the individual kids involved but it's going to make a much better environment for all of the rest of the kids who are coming to school and who are behaving well and if I could just you know on
073a positive note here a lot of the kids that are at Fox Creek went through Diamondback while I was still there and there's some really great kids they're the the article that was written was awful and it was not only embarrassing to Fox Creek and this District but to the kids who go to that school and are well behaved right and and but I want people to know that there really are some great kids at Fox Creek and and the high school will be getting some great eighth graders and that's and that's one of the reasons it's the bad ones that's one of the reasons that the reporter is coming back he knew that because he told me afterwards he said you know I know I saw a microcosm I know I saw just this
074one set of kids you know for this one teacher I know that the school is full of other kids and it's one of the reasons that he is coming back he wants to follow up he wants to show successful kids he wants to show successful teachers and uh um so and he's not just coming back once he's coming back multiple times to show that progress um and so you know um we're hopeful that that happens and on that note I I clarify what I was saying we have some amazing amazing students in in this District in our high school district I wouldn't keep doing this profession if we didn't because that's why I do it uh the kids we have phenomenal phenomenal kids um that every day put a smile on my face you know
075no matter how bad my day is going no matter what's going on we got amazing youth in this community but we need to provide the best we can for those youth and if we have some that don't want to be part of the program I'm glad we're putting this in place and and we're going to knuckle down on it if you don't want to be part of this program hey you don't have to be part of this program but let's not take away from those kids that do we have to focus on that that is our goal is because when they see what they're missing out on we will bring some of them back um that's that's my feeling on that okay so okay yeah no I'm like sitting here like okay all right so
076there's a couple things that I wanted to say uh first though I did want to point out um one of the things that when they came and they talked about fentanyl at Mojave High School and drugs there was a lot of students at the high school level that were not aware of the law that protects them I don't remember what it's called you'd have to find them they weren't actually huh when did they talk to the kids I think it was the last year was it when they did it when the fentanyl people came I know that they did it was two years ago was it two years ago but I remember and I I mentioned it every single year and there's still kids who are not aware of that law so just to make
077sure that they understand that if someone because that's the main reason they don't report is because they're afraid that they're going to get in trouble so they need to unders remind them like on a reg because like I said I kind of bring this up I think someone mentioned something in a class at least once a month and this law this gets up and there's one kid who was not paying attention the last time that's like oh that's a thing yeah for the 10th time that's the thing um anyway so just to make sure that that's out there and um but I will say okay so in regards to the article because I wanted to point this out because I'm hearing what everybody's saying and stuff like that so when I read the article um
078I actually personally and I spoke to a lot of people who did read the article they actually felt more sympathetic towards what was going on um and in fact they were actually quite proud of of the fact that what you guys have been handling and what you've been going through and the stuff going on not necessarily the behavior of the kids because they understand but they're like gosh you know I wasn't aware that they were going through that kind of stress that kind of environment where you know you just you don't have the teachers and you're trying to get these teachers and you have teachers that I mean we've been there at Mojave where it's like everybody's prepping everybody's watching a class during prep when things were bad during the covet time and so um
079you know I didn't really get the impression that he was trying I don't feel like okay and I'm not a fan of the Washington Post so I'll throw it out there but I didn't get the impression that he was trying to be uncomplementary to our school or to Fox Creek I think it was more like he was trying to be more uncomplementary to the American education system in general um you know um be uncomplementary yeah yeah I think what he was observing and what he saw it came out it was just so bad well I mean I don't know it's like a lot of us that read it when we read it we felt more like it was like pointing out the fact that America completely forgot that there was a covid year they completely
080forgot a lot of this the lack of uh in classroom time that these kids had especially if you think about the junior high age and the that younger fourth fifth grade and then they get into that Junior High this is when they're learning how to socialize really and and that the hormonal changes that are going on and then to not have that to not have those experiences at such a young age I mean we're seeing it at the high school though we're seeing it's almost like kids you know you feel like for years as a high school teacher I felt like as kids go through Junior High that's when they they you know experience the meanness and the the grumpiness and all of those things that happened during Junior High where we're pretty sure they've
081learned nothing but how to survive and then they come into high school and those survival skills kick again do you know what I mean and they they start learning how to be adults and now we've got freshmen and even sophomores that are like Junior High kids right now at Mojave so it's like they didn't get to experience the I don't know the trauma that happens in junior high or whatever that we would think of that happens and so I I don't think so I just wanted to point out because I felt like a lot of it was like like you know almost like that I know I don't know like but but like dissing on Fox Creek in a way but I didn't get that impression and most of the people I know that's that
082read it that uh actually felt more compassionate towards Fox Creek passion about what's happening and I agree with a lot of the different suggestions on how to handle the behavior it definitely needs to be because we've gotten to the point where we've gotten a little I think a lot of it people have gotten we have gotten a little soft and because you know of the stuff that's happened so they have to understand that their behavior needs to be in check so all of those things but my biggest concern was I just wanted Fox Creek to know and you guys to know that there's a lot of people who actually felt very compassionate about what was happening they didn't feel it was like completely uncomplementary towards Fox Creek just in general education and and the amount
083of efforts like you going to Las Vegas to pick up this teacher and the hours that you guys are working to get all this stuff done I felt I actually didn't feel like it was uncomplimentary I felt like it was yeah you guys are kind of screwed and you're dealing with it the best you can Amanda before you speak let me could I please put something in and thank you thank you thank you Anna thank you Anna because I will tell you that I I experience what you all have experienced a little bit of embarrassment and that kind of thing and I spent quite a bit of time with the reporter um uh and I and and I'm not trying to defend him necessarily but he internalized a whole lot of what you just said
084I will tell you that every email that I've received or phone call that I've received about the article has been positive has been the kind of thing that that Anna is saying that um wow look at what look at the wonderful things your teachers were doing to to you know to take care of these issues look at what they're doing to support our Filipino teachers who are you know coming to coming to 7 000 miles from you know from home and and whatever and and a number of other things and that's not just the emails I two people approached me yesterday at a couple of different meetings so um I think our responses are are legitimate but it's also nice to hear the other side you know other folks what for them is legitimate and
085and kind of reinforces some of the good things we're doing so thanks for giving me that yes I do thank you right ahead I've got something to say to you um so I actually thought I was going to be kind of and not maybe unpopular you know opinion but um you know I did see a lot of good in that article and I had some people mixed emotions with the way the article went however the only thing I have to say that the super positive for me is we're having this conversation now yes so that's that it's it's it's kind of almost I'll just say I'm happy I won't say it's kind of sad I'm happy that now it's brought a conversation to the table for different reasons like and yes uh we've gone through
086a lot we know we've we've been through with you know Filipino teachers picking them up I mean shoot we uh we even help you know get items formed so they can move in ready and those types of things and help them out however the issues in the classrooms and the things the disruptive and the disrespect and the aggressive behaviors and to hear that we've now put some some things in place to deter those at a quicker rate is what I'm looking at the positive right now because that's the thing that we're having the issue with you know but you know going back to it too is we set up here we're five Educators former Educators still Educators what not I mean but have we talked with any of our staff members on ideas they might
087have to help you know to to get feedback from you know that the middle school and the junior high you know or talk to the students I mean we've like we said we've we've set up here we've got some great students you know but a lot can be learned from also the students that are getting in trouble like you know the whys and the behavior and how can we deter that behavior how can we help stop someone from doing this in the future um I know that's a lot and that takes time and what you guys don't have is a lot of time in your day with as much as you have to deal with two of you with with all of it but um I mean I think that we could all benefit from
088receiving some of that information from outside sources instead of you know the well five six of us sitting up here even Mr Valdez speaking earlier about the issues that are happening like those are important to hear and maybe we can create an outlet that people can submit information and ideas to us or thoughts or practices that they've seen work we've got people moving to our community left and right and they might bring an idea from outside the community that works really well like is there something we can do to set up and facilitate that information that's why they're trying to have parent meetings and get parents there Cynthia do you have any idea how many parents were you meeting last night Oh I thought you had a lot a lot a lot ah okay okay
089but even getting that many I mean those of us at this at this Podium who've been administrators know you were happy to get five but a lot of people have access to things absolutely we had a uh come talk to a survey an opinion something I mean and I'd like to throw a real positive thing in this because I've heard this from not just Jesus and uh unless but I've heard it from Cynthia and Tammy and I've actually heard it from our elementary principals as well some of them were here and left um this year we've had more instances of students coming forward to talk to their teachers and to their administrators and say I'm not real happy because so-and-so is doing such and such we've had more instances of parents calling and saying my
090child has reported blah blah blah whereas in the past we were seeing that on Facebook or on social media and and Lance was telling us about it because he monitors that for us then then we were getting it directly so I want you to know that there is there's this it's not a balance yet we're not there but it certainly has been improved this year year in terms of getting of folks saying wait a minute we want the culture of our schools to be better than they've been and and so you know we need to weigh that in as well probably not a a um popular statement but two things I have the same I understand we spent two years with the whole covid thing but when did being disrespectful to an adult being rude
091or disruptive in a classroom how did that I understand academics are behind but that never has ever been something that was appropriate no no I put that on student accountability and parent accountability because without those two things we're not going to get very far students need to be accountable and parents need to be accountable for their children's Behavior yeah it's never been okay to be rude or disrespectful to an adult and that just just you know that wasn't what I I was actually just saying about the article being complimentary I wasn't addressing the discipline you had talked about coveting yeah and I've heard you know okay yes yeah I know academics are behind because of the two years lack in in education but discipline didn't go away that didn't stop no so and so I
092I'm just it's mind-boggling to me how students feel it's okay to talk to an adult in that manner Okay so we've done lots and lots of discussions so solution times yeah we've talked about alternative um School alternative you know the pathways um Mrs Swarovski brought up um is there any way that you know starting with disseminating information get it in the hands of the parents tell them what we're doing maybe that information maybe we can utilize Lance Ross and you know hey we have public information officer right maybe we can work with Lance and Lance can start putting together like Hot Topic issues or hot button items that we have such as the way Fox Creek has altered their discipline parents beware this is going to happen because I will tell you that not that
093I wouldn't hold my kid accountable but when changes happen at a school and I'm not communicated I can't support you so if I'm told and I know then I can support you I can follow that new rule that new procedure we won't call it a policy because you know those come from us but that new procedure that new rule that's implemented so if we want parents to buy in and be accountable that we need to start making sure that they're communicated with so if we can talk about that new change if we can talk about you know putting things out there um you know if we talk about drugs alcohol the fact that we have ones the fact that we will probably have drug dogs come on campus um you know that type of stuff
094what other Solutions do we have to help Bridge some of this and and you know or even just thoughts like to help yeah I would be interested if there are any because this is definitely this is definitely systemic in regards to the United like the United States and Arizona and things like that you know if there's any other like any researcher it's probably early to say research if you will but any other schools or anything that are dealing with this and the solutions that they have had like anything that they've had that's working if there's any of our partner schools or any of the ones that we've talked to or whatever like that to see if maybe they are dealing with the same thing and how have they handled it well that's one of the
095reasons that we instituted this year a whole training for our administrators for a restorative justice to start moving in that direction and um uh and that's a that's a three to that's a three to four year old three to four year process so this year it was you know this year has been working on on training us and getting us all on board with that and start moving in that direction I'm changing our mindset and in changing some mindset because as part of that process is that you get to the place where students are really part of I hesitate to say discipline but part of the process of resolving issues and helping with that whole process rather than rather than just adults expecting students to behave and they're being only negative consequences so uh you
096know so we we're we already have that in action and that is that is 20 25 years worth of research backing that up and so we don't want to abandon that but it but at the same time you've got to get yourself we have to get ourselves to some somewhat of a Level Playing Field as Corey says you know if you and I'll use another I'll use another metaphor if you want to be on our bus then you have to play by our rules you know there's a seat for everybody on our bus um if you choose to be on our bus but if you're choosing not to be on our bus then you know then if you're not choosing to follow what is acceptable what is an acceptable set of behaviors on our bus
097then maybe you need to get off our bus um and and that you know that that borders on us saying that whole well you know if you don't like it here go somewhere else well none of us like that none of us like that statement necessarily but sometimes that's where you have to go so yes we're that is all based on research and we want to move in that direction but right now we need to right now we need to grab things by the bootstraps and and Melinda thankfully asked to have this on the agenda and I'm really glad it's I'm really glad it's here and partly because my thought is the community needs to hear that you all are on this same page that you all are uh that you all are supporting the
098idea of what our folks are trying to do what our leaders and the and Fox Creek in in the middle school and the elementaries for that matter have in fact been discussing this with their faculties and getting their input into it so uh uh you all have heard this from folks before and you know the the whole well I you know and principals hear it all the time uh well I don't like I don't like what you're telling me I'm going to go to the board this is getting in front of that this is if you all are making the statements you are making where you're really saying to the public um you're not going to get a real good ear from us you know if you if you think you're going to come to
099us as a board uh and and that we're going to overrule some you know some strength at our sights then you're coming to the wrong place Carolyn can I make a suggestion absolutely that we that we actually put together some kind of a meeting a town hall type thing we did a nice job with the with the school thing um where we actually sit and discuss with people in the audience um some different ideas I actually put it out there and let them come in and talk to us that's that's up to you all well and I'd actually just uh I just asked Mr Burgess if we mind if you guys don't mind opening up now if anybody has anybody that stayed around for as long as they've been here if they have anything that
100they'd like to to add or or thoughts or anything I mean come on up all right one of those kids you guys are talking about I was one I was in trouble making I was troubled I got locked up I was incarcerated um so let me let me let me straighten this up I was a kid that was raised by my grandparents and uh I went to uh three schools got kicked out all three of them fighting and the next thing was was a probation school I was facing about 15 years and uh so what I did was I said the best thing would be for me when I got out of jail I'm gonna go directly I need to stay into a probation School they always gonna get released and I said I don't
101want to be released because I'm going to be a troublemaker keep me here they kept me there and I finished so today my son Angel Valdez is a great kid because I'm a parent and I was one of those kids that had the mindset of a troublemaker and to be you have to know how you have to it's like a criminal right if you think like a criminal and Catch a Criminal right so you can't discipline a criminal if you're not a criminal right so you have to have the mindset and the thing is everybody has this well we do this we do that but the thing is is you got to come together an alternative like you said is the way to do it that's a great way because the problem is is you're
102a kid in a class I'm like what are you gonna do send me home vacation cool let's go let's roll let's roll up let's go I got a few days off so obviously the parents don't care that's why they're in trouble so what's the point give me a notification I'll take five of them what are you into expel me what are you going to send me to where's your plan Jill let's go right there's no plan I don't know what Joe's like let's go so the plan's got to be as an alternative alternative is when I was there they had psychology there was a psychology on on-site probation officer police officers love to come in and out of the doors got to know all of them so and then they and we had great psychologists
103where they'd come in they would break you down talk to you why are you here how come your family is the way you are blah blah blah blah blah and you start crying and breaking down in tears and obviously you know they get to the root they find the root of the person and some of these kids are crying for help find the way it's that it's not it's not because the kid wants to be back it's what he sees at home they don't take and give the quality stuff at home and if you love your children you have to you have to step like a parent not just as a school district you have to be a parent like you have to like okay we want to be the big brother here and the
104only way you're going to be a big brother is you have to take that action you need to send them to psychology you have to do this stuff the parent don't want to do for them you can't just throw them so an alternative way is doing it if you don't want to listen this is the way we go and I think you're right I loved it probation school was a great thing for me I would have never finished school they straightened me up I know every probation officer there I love them what was your click what am I getting like no no no no like what clicked in your head what what made you oh say this is what I need to do in order to change when I was there uh because my grandparents
105were successful but my parents are drug addicts and I was Raising myself in the streets and I thought gangs was the way to ride because I was that you know the closest thing to love right every day homeboys are sitting there for me so they're always there right so that was the way I wrote and then I started getting myself in trouble with the police and I said well you know what obviously the cops are not gonna you know when you're sitting there and you're like well you know you're facing the 10th of manslaughter at like 14 15 16 years old facing almost 15 years in prison you're really starting doing my by yourself you know now you're really thinking like I'm In These Bars by myself sitting here nobody cares nobody there for you
106nobody there you gotta sell blocks and all you can do is defend yourself all the time so then I started thinking you know what this is not for me I gotta make it I gotta make a change so it had to go to that level and then when I got out I was already I was already involved in the probation school and then they sent me and they said I was on summary probation and then I went from summary and escalated the informal and I said you know what I want to stay on probation because with my attitude I'm gonna be gone forever keep me here so I actually became best friends with the teachers the police officers they were letting me go to school get out early they said do what you want to
107do and I loved it I think it was the best thing I ever did okay they gave me letters to go to the court they sponged my record and you know what I'm a good father to this day I have a business here in town and I think the best thing is for is an alternative way you have to reach these kids you got to pull the kids that need the help I was one of them I was looking for attention didn't know where it was at I find it in the streets I'm a kid I'm a child I don't know better and you know what there's there's people in these programs that say I love these kids they need help they need a counselor and they need to be talked to that's what they
108need it's not because they want to just be a troublemaker they don't know the difference they don't have a good father you know I take a lot of my my son's friends and it's so sad I've seen so many friends I've had of his and we take them we give them shoes we give them clothes and it's not the parents don't even care I've been literally taking buying stuff and they don't care and so I said Angel you know you got to kind of pick and choose your friends and and since I came from that life I know how to raise my kids I know I know the way to get around the routes to show him the right way and I tell him I look this is what Dad been through I don't hide
109it from him let you know this is the life you want to live like this this is what's going to happen believe me I didn't care I would stand up I would love I would fight anybody adult I was in back of police cars with heaters on you name it I wasn't they put me in I was in jail inside of a jail they locked me up in the shoe program they couldn't even control me I had crickets jumping on me in underwear so the thing is is you have to really reach these kids so what you're saying is find the why find the why find the why and you got to be hard you have to be hard if you're too easy believe me we look for ways to get away right well let's
110just do what we want do this and it's not the right way well thank you for sharing we appreciate that yeah so you know that's I'm sorry this come up here that's okay everybody but do what you guys think is best but you have a unique perspective you have a unique perspective and that's good to hear so so thank you who's the best person yeah see thank you thank you and these life experiences are what we need to tap into yeah I'm a good man you know that's why I'm standing here in front of you guys so take it how you want thank you thank you guys thank you very much thank you we should tap into some folks who have those kinds of experiences to talk with our kids no and and um and
111and that's a you know that's a good thing so uh we're we're going to be in touch so maybe Pathways is something we need to look at well or see if that's if we're closer to that with what we're doing and if we're not make some adjustments yep hi barbs there's Vicky retired Junior High teacher uh 25 years or 25 years in the area here um I when I was teaching at Junior High we had Pathways I found it to be very successful with the alternative school for those kids because the thing is is like Mr Valdez said you know a lot of the kids oh we get out of school suspension vacation time and we're out on the streets and stuff we're in Pathways they were working with the kids teaching them their behaviors
112and Stuff Plus keeping their educational things up and what good does it do for us to expel the kids and put them out on the street and not have any alternative education for them to be getting because then we're going to have them in the jail or we're going to have them you know not one of our better citizens and stuff but I always found that probably 95 percent of the kids that came back into my classroom after being in pathways they they were they their class their education was still up to par and their behavior definitely made a big change in stuff and so you know for all the years I was there I always found the pathway to be to be a good good alternative because who's ever running it that's the one
113thing you have to make sure is whoever runs it has to be a very strict disciplinarian you can't get somebody in there that the kids can wish wash and you know they want to be the kids friends you're going to have to have a strong disciplinary like we could you know you have to have like the Marines the next marine and they're running it or something but you know and and the thing I'd like to see is if you know if we put them in a pathway situation and if there's some way with the pathways instead of have if we could get some type of association with an online schooling like K-12 or something so that if these kids don't succeed in Pathways and they end up being expelled at least you've got them started
114on an outside type of education that they could continue on when they if they're expelled so that there is something out there for them to go rather than just going out and having no future education at all but let them be because they'll be already enrolled in those online classes and but you know the main thing like Mr Valdez said too parent involvement you've got to have the parent involvement in there and I think Pathways the alternative schools are the way to go on that thank you thank you this stuff that's good I do like the idea of a town hall so let's uh see if we can put that together okay um and um any objections to that none all right awesome okay thank you again community members for sharing with us we appreciate
115it yeah I mean I'm not sure exactly what Pathways was because I I wasn't here I didn't see them I was in your class but I didn't see or notice so I do know we had it at the high school when I was there and they called it a Bridgeway or whatever it was or it was something Bridge it was in the bus barn way back when and it was the alternative school um and it separated the students and they earned their way back um if they wanted to be socialized with their students normalized in that um but I like the idea of having someone there that's structured I mean maybe it's not necessary necessarily like a PO but somebody who has a background do that strength and you know you could have it like
116a crushed Academy or a Life Academy type um online program with the mental health available and also with you know maybe a direct line with someone with probation and working with them and explaining where they could end up Kate has that arranged already there there are big changes already can we get Kate to do a little presentation for us maybe there we go good job yeah instead of us speculating about 500 things because it says that you know what I mean let's let's know what she's actually absolutely Kate could do that because there have been because people come with all this and she's usually here so I mean she would have been like hey I got this but she does yeah and and for example and this will this will give you an example just
117one example of how it's different so when the students come to to Life Academy this year backpacks phones everything gets checked in in the office they go to class with a pen or pencil and a notebook and uh that's it and uh and then um they also know that it's kind of their last shot at some things so there was an incident this week with a with a student who got very violent and that student was sent home and and the family was told you know this was kind of your last shot already anyway and uh so you know if the student is coming back here are the changes that have to happen so much different structure than we had the last few years let's do it yeah all right thank you we'll get Kent
118yeah we can get uh Kate to present all right 8.2 annual Financial reports Mr President and board members excuse me we have to file the annual financial report so this is work that Jenny Beck's been working on and we've had a lot of assistance this year from our uh our Consultants at heinfeld meech because this is a very complicated and precise process so you have I have documents for you to sign this is just kind of our internal audit of how we spent funds this past year in fiscal year 22. the actual Auditors are coming next month but we have to file this so this is the flip side of filing a budget uh you know of approving a budget this is the approving what we did last year okay and and so um you
119have summary sheets and needless to say it all it ended up balancing what we did we did have a recognize nice today Jenny's been working on the next things that are required for some reporting that has to do with the grants and a number of things and so we have one change so the page you're looking at right here page five of nine um has one of the things that she had to separate out for this other document that she's working on are any expenses that had to do with covid funding and so in the process of working on that today realize that some of the numbers on this page were not accurate so she spoke with Chris voterbeck who is the contact that we talk with all the time well not all the time
120but frequently when we need advice from the auditor General's office so these are the folks who create these documents and expect us to do them correctly under ordinary circumstances because it was an agendized item you would have to approve the AFR the way it's presented to you and then we would have to file a revision and bring that to you next month just like we bring budget revisions and then would have to refile that with the state the problem is the document she's working on today has to be filed tomorrow and it needs to be accurate so the auditor General's office Chris voterbeck in that office told us that if we showed you and people could see in the audience the changes in this one page that you could approve the AFR as amended tonight
121so the the differences are on the line uh in here line 19. that you can see on your screen and so this is the way it is printed and was given to you originally and now uh Cass is going to show you the adjusted page it's like ten thousand yeah so uh there's a difference of um yeah it's about fifteen thousand dollars difference in line uh line 19. okay so uh if you will approve the AFR for this is the mno AFR then we also have the AFR which is the annual financial report for food service and then there is the humongous document that is the breakdown by School site if you look at that spreadsheet it is about I think about 150 columns or something like that so we didn't print it for you
122but it's in here but if you'll approve these documents then we can submit them tomorrow and and be on time and I'll answer any questions that you might have I'll try to answer any questions you might have foreign all right can I move that we adopt the annual financial report for fiscal year 22. as amended as amended I'll second that motion thank you all in favor I'm Melinda sabroski I Anna Boyd aye Charlene Diaz aye Amanda amen hi Corey Burgess and then be sure before you leave to sign I need everybody to sign on this page and Corey to sign on this page 8.3 bullets City School District certified salary schedule reflecting new positions October through December 22. okay Mr President and board members uh last month you approved uh our our facilities employees and
123um as we were advertising for the district level uh positions for the HVAC Tech the electrical technician and the plumbing technician we realized that we could not compete with uh with the real world out there if we didn't raise those salaries a little bit and we had already you had already approved that we have a column for them so this reflects the addition of column eight and it reflects the location on the salary schedule that we placed those other positions for the facilities Department I also did move and I'm recommending to you to move uh preschool I'm sorry to move um parapros in the life skills program from column one to column two because of the nature of the work they do so that's the one other change this is being recommended to you for
124October through December it is our current salary schedule with those additions um to get us through to the end of calendar year 22. any questions no all right did I move that we approved the Bullhead City School District classified salary schedule reflecting the new positions October through December of 22. I'll second that motion Amanda Ayman all in favor aye Amanda amen aye Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabrowski aye Corey Burgess item 8.4 um School District classified salary schedule starting January 1 23. Mr President and board members minimum wage increases compared to our salary schedule actually from the current real one it's a dollar and five cents or a dollar and something but we already were above the minimum wage with the schedule you just approved so to meet the new minimum wage this
125salary schedule increases every position by 50 Cents and so it's essentially the same salary schedule you just approved but 50 cents higher in every cell and I recommend we approve it any questions do we have a motion I'll make a motion that we approve the Bullhead City School District classified salary schedule starting January 1 2023. second that motion unaboid all in favor oh you guys are waiting on me now I I'm Melinda sabrowski I can't avoid I I generally indeed us oh I am Anna images all right item 8.5 substitute pay rate I'm sure Mr President and board members uh the uh minimum wage amount that you just approved on our classified schedule affects the amount that our substitutes are paid by ESI the company with whom we contract those services and so I'm recommending
126that we raise the daily rate for um for our substitute teachers to a hundred and ten dollars a day from the current one hundred dollars a day and um and then just the note that that would mean that half day Subs would be paid 55 dollars per day and not make any changes in the other two so short-term Subs who work greater than 10 days in various positions would make 115 dollars a day and any long-term Subs which means that they're in the same position for more than 10 days would make 150 a day so those two things are not changes but the but the change for the single day rate would be 110 and that's a ten dollar increase questions I move that we approved the substitute pay rate I'll second that motion all
127in favor hi Amanda Ayman hi Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabreski hi Cory Burgess item 8.6 new paraprofessional position at Coyote Canyon Mr President and board members we have not been able to fill some teaching positions at in Coyote Canyon preschool particularly in the special ed classrooms and of course those are programs we are required to have so we do have that grant funding new grant funding this year hqel and some other grant funding so I'm recommending that for the remainder of this school year that we add two more para positions so that we have enough adults in each of those classrooms any questions this also says that it would give us some flexibility for more students so does that it does right because right now all of our classrooms are absolutely full
128we have waiting lists we have waiting lists of special ed kids and that's just not uh with this good thing so would this alleviate that waiting list or just put a dent in it it puts a dent okay any other questions and we continue to look for certified teachers iMovie approve item 8.6 let's look at that motion all in favor aye Corey Burgess hi Amanda amen I'm Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabreski item 8.7 resolution authorizing the district employee neighborhood project to be designed and built Dr Stewart Mr President and board members I have the attachments there for you and for the public to see first of all the recommendation from the attorney that given the impossibility we had of finding an engineered a standalone engineer and move through the process plus time
129is passing and so a design build means that we are essentially when he's what he's recommending to us is that essentially we're looking for a developer so it's kind of like um you know somebody goes out and buys property and then they get a developer who does all of the all of the design work all of the engineering all of and then has subcontractors to do the job and so he's recommending that that's a good way for us to move at this point we've spent a lot of time talking about this I spent a lot of time on the phone with him talking about this and of course Mark's been involved in in all of these discussions so you have his recommendation and all the legal all of the legal authorization for you want to
130make this decision and then you see my memo recommending that as well and then the resolution that you all would need to pass so that we can move in that direction any questions no and I move we adopt the resolution 8.7 I'll second that Amanda Eamon all in favor aye Corey Burgess hi Amanda Eamon aye Charlene Diaz hi Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabreski some of item 8.8 resolution supporting the fiscal year 23 aggregate spending limit override Mr President and board members we've talked about the aggregate expenditure limit numerous times we talked about it last year because we needed to uh we're we're talking about it again ASA had a resolution or had a letter that over 200 superintendents of the 242 districts in the State signed sent to the governor and to the legislators asking
131for a special session to deal with this asba has been working on this and they're asking school boards to um do resolutions to encourage a special session as well so that's what you're seeing here is a resolution that you all are going on the record as saying please make this happen sooner than later so that we don't have to sit here and and try to figure out how in April we would cut three million dollars from our budget yes any questions I move that we uh adopt the resolution 8.8 oh second depth motion all in favor aye Corey Burgess hi Amanda Ayman hi Charlene Diaz aye Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabrowski so I'm out item 8.9 regulations ebcra emergency's new EVC RB emergencies renamed in EBC RC emergency is new uh these are the regulations

134and just like we report attendance for our other grades this year the state finance department the Ade finance department emailed me and said uh no you don't have the Pre-K for Diamondback approved we don't have any record of that approval so I sent I sent Cass to the all the old files for way before we had bordocks and she spent probably two days in there going through things to find when the board had approved the preschools at Diamondback and sunrise could not find it the only evidence we could find or that she could find because she did all the searching was the hiring of a preschool teacher for uh sunrise and that was from a board agenda in 2015 and the hiring of a teacher for the preschool or a teacher aide for the preschool
135at Diamondback from 2014. so there's nothing in the record that indicates that the board ever took formal action approving those preschools oops Yeah so we'd like to do that and rectify that so that we get the funding we are entitled to for those okay uh yes and guess who was president I'll make a motion that we approve the preschools at Diamondback and sunrise I'll second that time all in favor aye Corey Burgess hi Amanda amen hi Charlene Diaz hi Anna Boyd I'm Melinda sabreski so I'm out uh item 816 yes attack um item 815 board member resignation Mr President and board members Mrs Boyd has submitted a resignation because she will be moving outside of our attendance area not very far away but across the line it was not my fault fair enough this was
