002so if we can have a roll call please can you say my name yes please uh dr bowen yes sherry brown yes yes danny morton yes and i i too cindy is a affirmative thank you so we're going to open up now for our call to the public um our call to the public is a time for anyone to address the the board on issues that they are interested in speaking about we are going to limit our our conversations to three minutes this evening so right now i have one paper for call to the public and that is joanie is it rogue yes come on up you'll just go to the podium please with the microphone okay i have called and spoken with you about three times um and this is about opening the schools
003up i'm starting to realize that um because i've talked to several people that this isn't just about whether or not you guys want to open the schools up it's about teachers not wanting to come to school that's what i was told by the superintendent of yavapai county so um but i'm wondering if you guys are looking at everything else that's going on with these kids are you guys looking at the percentages of kids that aren't getting fed are there in domestic violence situations the suicide rate how it's gone up um what the virus has caused for these kids at home do you guys have the percentages on that so any sort of percentages or anything else we would defer to our school staff no i'm just saying you guys make the decisions on whether or
004not to keep the schools open and i'm wondering why i just got saw you the other night you're talking about october are you kidding me are you guys really going to keep the schools close till october 19 how many thousands and thousands of kids you're putting out there when the numbers are low the percentages are extremely low for kids to contract the disease or spread it the numbers in in arizona have gone down 70 some percent and you guys are going to kick school out till october 19th is that is that what i'm hearing so this is an action item this evening that we will be discussing okay yeah because it's like you gotta go you gotta be kidding me i don't have kids anymore in this school okay mine are grown but i have
005grandkids in the school and there's a lot of things that you guys need to take in in into consideration when you decide to shut the schools down and these kids have no safe place to come okay this is um let me see here now we do know that the national right now what i had just everything that i've read this two percent or less than kids spread the disease or get the disease they're just not getting it they just don't get it and they just don't spread it okay they're not finding any proof that that is happening with what we've been going through all of these months okay there's very very few amounts in the past two weeks i've been contacting the yavapai um health department in the past two weeks we've been at five
006percent five point five percent okay we were at 7.9 then at 7.3 now we're at 5.5 percent um and you're the one that told me we'll open the schools when we know that we've had a couple of weeks where it's less than seven percent that's what you told me you don't have to explain anything yeah you didn't um let me see i spoke it was tim carter that's who i talked to um and like i said is it the problem that we have teachers 100 teachers is that what the problem is so we don't have the teachers don't want to come to school is that why we're not opening because show did say well what am i supposed to tell my 55 year old teachers when they don't want to come to school and teach
007so again it's an item that we're having for discussion this evening i'm talking about right now i don't have a moment to talk and ask you these questions you can you can voice your opinions to us no i'm asking a question we're not going to engage in conversation though oh you're not we are not okay thank you though yeah all right so do you guys understand since everybody's making these decisions on the kids um for the kids it's basically for the kids it's not for you guys it's not for me 100 okay how come you guys don't understand what the percentages are of these kids in they are at risk they are at risk um there's only 40 percent of the kids that feel safe at home and the statistics that they've done the number
008of students at risk has involved has increased 36.4 percent which includes there's all kinds of things they're going to get from that depression isolation instability hypertension health problems and suicide suicide has gone up 47.5 may i ask where these numbers have come well you can find this i'm sure you can find them you probably already have them don't you um you guys actually i don't know that's why i was just wondering why okay where you got them from okay um one of the things that the nurses are talking about that's they were saying that they're seeing 50 of poverty rates kids coming into the hospital because they're hungry ma'am you are at three minutes i will give you an additional one to finish up just to sum it all up okay so what i'm wondering
009is why you guys are not addressing the children's and the children's needs at this time these don't work okay uh you've got kids that are having mental problems you have kids that are committing suicide there's kids that are at home that aren't getting food every day there's all kinds of other things that should be included in your decision whether or not to open the school keeping it not open until october is ridiculous you represent chino valley not prescott not paulden or not prescott not presque valley not humble not any of these other places but what i'd like you guys to do if you could look at the whole picture and not just what the teachers are saying okay we have come a long way when we first closed the doors to everything to get opened
010back up and i am not the only parent that feels this way there is a bunch of us out there fantastic the only one that's willing to speak up thank you for doing that we do appreciate you giving yourself so is there um so what i'm asking you guys to do is consider the fact that look at all the statistics that's going around right now the damage that it's causing to these kids these kids are not just at risk these are risk risk situations for a lot of these children out there we live out in rural areas do your teachers are your teachers qualified because i understand you're all supposed to be certain gone to classes for kids with suicidal tendencies and stuff like that it's an arizona state law so if they're talking to
011their kids do they talk to them because i do know this my grandsons we live out the boons they sent us home with a computer and an internet it don't work all the time it took my grandson two days to get his homework done and those are the things that i would suggest you you contact your school and your teachers to try and rectify again your time is up i appreciate you coming in okay is there someone else um we're going to find out right now okay because you're only giving me three minutes correct and that's pretty rude that's actually a policy so thank you though well you need to change policies because we have kids out there that are risking you guys need to open these schools up thank you we really appreciate your
012comments yeah if you guys don't do it it's going to get horrible for you thank you becca i don't care what you do thank you for your time do we have anyone else i'd like to speak would you guys like to speak now you're more than welcome too well again this is an action item this evening that we will be hearing some statistics and some information and then we will be making a decision all right then moving along we are going to item number six six a which is student worker positions and i believe this was supposed to be mr pereira but and he's he's not here we'll i think we can where you can work it out we can work it out yeah so um this is actually two positions that he is requesting
013this would be student workers one that would work at the cooper ag center and one that would work as a greenhouse worker and so they would do things obviously on the farm and then also in the greenhouse there are some limitations to the kind of equipment that they could use and that's all in the job descriptions also age i think they had to be 17 and above i think is what was decided so if they're 16 or below there's some additional restrictions that they have to follow um according to state labor law so the job descriptions are in here um really it's you know it's a great opportunity for our ag kids to kind of get some additional experience that they could use either um in their future career um or even going off to
014college or whatever they could have these skills that would really help out and then a big thing is it helps out um our staff yeah um yeah you know we we uh bailed that hay recently on that field that's right on the highway and um you know we made some special dispensation to bring some kids in making sure they did social distancing and things like that but we do have a farm worker that's an adult that works over there that would be supervising the um the cooperage center worker but that's just not enough labor at times like when we're bailing hay and things like that so um this would be an excellent opportunity um for the student for both students to get some experience in ag when would this position start as soon as they
015hire them i think they have some i think they have an idea of who they'd like to hire okay so we were just kind of waiting on the board to approve the positions that's why we brought it at the special board meeting so that we can get them on board even that much quicker and it's being paid for through the cted grant correct this is this was done through 596 which is money that we get from um the ctep fantastic and how many hours or how how is that going to work how much they work well i think it's a variable because it would really depend on the the student's schedule and school schedule if they only have four or five periods they could work longer that kind of thing so i think it also
016depends on the student great well this is an action item if we could get a motion i'll make a motion for the approval of student worker positions fantastic and again we're going to do a roll call if you would say your name and your position on it sherry sherry brown hi robert holland aye annie penny danny martin saying hi thank you all right um 6b casa mentor positions for the study labs so we are requesting eight positions and this is really um right now we wouldn't hire these positions but we want them available especially if um if it's approved to go to hybrid instruction so what these are these are um we we have a position already in place called the casa mentor which is really a daycare provider for a casa de after school
017care these would employees would supervise the kids that come into our student study labs which are the on-site labs that we need to provide according to the executive order or one of governor ducey's executive orders a safe place for kids to come and do their at-home learning um and that started yesterday um yesterday we had a total of 20 kids on in the district we were able to um supervise those kids with existing staff it's interesting we i expected a ton of kids at the kindergarten level we had one at the ke2 we had um eight at del rio we had one at the middle school we had 10 at the high school the the school that i thought would have the least had actually the most yesterday um that will increase as people get
018used to it turn into the applications and things like that but this is just we hope you know we don't know i don't think we're going to use them but this is we have these positions in place in case we do need the extra supervision down the road and that would be two per school um is what we're looking at and that's why we did eight so where are we going to house where are we housing the kids right now well they are you know it's easier because we don't have a whole lot of people on campus and so at the high school i think they are in the uh one of the iss in school suspension rooms and then splitting time also in the computer lab at del rio they are using uh the
019title one computer lab i think is where they're spending a lot of time doing a lot of their work the idea is also to give them breaks go outside socially distance take the mask off breathe fresh air um they also get lunch while they're there so they also go to the um get grab lunch in the cafeteria that kind of thing so they are different places and as we grow um if that program does grow we were gonna have to figure it out and you know we have the libraries that peop that they could go into we have some limited computer labs because we took a lot of our mobile labs and are now out into the community at um that we distributed on the chromebooks things like that um i know like at the
020the territorial they have a computer lab in the library and that's where the kids are so the one kid some of the kids that are resource students i know at the high school actually went into the resource teachers classroom to get some additional help there great questions penny or annie do you have any questions i i do not that's later thank you all right well this is an action item also so we will need a motion to approve the casa mentors all right don't speak up at once i'll make a motion to add eight additional temporary concert mentors positions for supervision of students in the student support labs all right all in favor go ahead and say hi all right 6c we're now going to talk about the 50 cent an hour stipend for our
021student support lab supervisors so this is you know we have a group of people that are the only ones well we have a couple right now but um they are the supervisors of the student support lab they're actually working with kids and no one else is and so there's a little bit extra um risk there and that we're asking just for a short period of time to allow a small stipend while this is happening we expect that stipend to end at the end of the first quarter is the the plan or the idea and that's when we think that we hopefully by then would be in all in-person instruction and we would no longer have the the lab in place when would that be if the data proves you know continues to go down it
022would be at the end of the first quarter and that is when uh october october 8th is the the last day of the quarter then we have fall break and we come back on the 19th i'm so appreciative and we'll talk about that in the next agenda or two agenda items from now but that's that would be the plan yeah okay okay yep nope that's the that's the recommendation and we'll and we'll kind of that should be formalized or maybe formalizing we'll talk a little bit about it more and this carries about a thousand dollar price tag right all right uh emotion on the floor or would anyone like to make a motion to have on the floor i'll make the motion we have staff that are supervising students in the student support labs this
023is typically beyond their normal work job description under the circumstances in order to compensate them for their added responsibility administration is requesting a 50 cents per hour stipend for employees supervising students in the student support labs this would be retroactive to august 17th this year fantastic all in favor hi jerry and bob robertson both ladies are eyes thank you i am i also going to forget that one of these nights one of these times okay personnel report item 6d mr schultz all right there's one new certified one you classified two new classified subs two resignations two classified changes and one extra duty contract um which is a zero hour stipend so the teacher's teaching um seven hours instead of six that's how that goes and um again just since we had you captive we wanted
024to get the personnel report taken care of so we can move a little bit further on this okay does anyone have any questions on the personnel report nope no the one the one thing i i do want to mention is we lost a and we had a resignation for a teacher that was we had a heaven sent teacher special ed teacher kind of come out of the sky and help us out so um we were able to fill that position which we didn't think we were going to be able to and that's number one on the on the list right there which is a special needs teacher we're excited about that all right again action item we need a motion please i'll make motions thank you all in favor state your name please siri brown
025aye robert bowen aye morgan i and cindy i thank you very much now the item seven um it is our schedule for hybrid and in-person instruction mr joel all right so you know i'm gonna start off by saying everyone in this room agrees that the best place for kids is at school bar none i've not met anyone that doesn't say that but the best place for kids and actually the best place for teachers to teach in my opinion for our teachers to teach is at school so that's that is where i want to put kids i also want to put kids and adults and and staff in schools safely and so what happened is on august 6th the department of health services released benchmarks which is metrics or data regarding covet 19 that are to
026be used by governing boards as a guide it is a guide to opening schools right now the benchmarks indicate that there is a mod what's called a moderate risk in yavapai county and for those there is a a video that i put online over the weekend actually it was on thursday they kind of explained these and shows you where to get them you can go to www.azdhs.gov.gov so azdhs.gov and there's a button kind of in the middle of a page labeled schools you can go there you'll see a map of the state of arizona if you scroll down a little bit click on yavapai and the data that i'm looking at is right in that area and that is for yavapai county and so right now the two of the three actually all three benchmarks
027are in what's called the oh i'm sorry two of the three benchmarks are in what's called moderate range and the third and those would be hospitalizations percent of hospitalizations that are coping related and also the number of cases are in what's called the moderate range we have one that i expect to be in the moderate range starting thursday the data comes out every thursday um they are saying that to start school in the moderate range you want they want would like to see two weeks of data that shows the what's called the pcr test which i believe is a nasal swab at seven percent positive or less and we were less than seven percent last week i expect us to be less than seven percent this week on the summary sheet that's in your packet
028i think there is actually data for this week which is august 2nd data and it's not in there nope okay it was interesting because i was looking at the data and it was there then i looked in the afternoon and it wasn't so they i think they put it on accidentally but the what what shows is that the thursday data should be below seven percent which would put us in the moderate risk range now according to the guidelines on reopening schools you do have this what it's saying is moderate risk should be the hybrid delivery model and i'll explain what the hybrid delivery model is with moderate risk there still is some infections going on in the community so they want kids back in school but at the same time they want to limit the
029number of infections that you might see or that might occur if you brought everybody back so what the the hybrid instruction is the maximum of half the kids would be on campus at any one time so we have smaller class sizes we have smaller number or less kids on a bus we're able to socially distance easier we also would have the at-home learning that we're offering now would be available to those families that wanted to keep their kids at home so um depending on the grade level kinder we're finding out not a whole lot of kinder families want to keep their kids at home and to be honest it's you know that's a tough a tough grade to do online instruction when the kid may not know how to use his computer his or her
030computer where other grade levels um and other family situations they might have compromise there may be family members that are sick other things and it's just best for them to keep their kids at home and continue with the at-home learning that's happening now but that's a family decision that's not our decision we're giving families that choice what they want to do and so um according to the metrics that we're looking at the metrics are saying that and this came from the state of arizona it's not our numbers it's funneled from the from the county health department through the state and the state issues the data and that's where i pulled the data from are indicating that we really should be in a hybrid model because we are moderate risk of um velvet 19. and so
031we need to we need to do social distancing we need to do fewer kids in the classes fewer kids on on the buses we can't do that if we bring everybody back um i don't know if you've seen some of what's going on in georgia when they brought kids back there's um spikes and infections um and you know i i don't want to put that risk on our kids and i don't want to put that risk on our on our parents and and miss rope mentioned i i mentioned i'm concerned about my staff about our staff i am i'm concerned about our kids and our staff and making sure that they are in a safe working environment and a safe learning environment for our kids and so that's why my recommendation is to go to
032the hybrid learning starting september 8th why so late it takes time to actually pivot from at-home instruction to in-person instruction on one of the things we're doing today or i was doing today i'm along with some other staff is coming up with a forum that would allow parents to indicate they want to stay at home instruction or they want hybrid instruction we have to get that information together we have to make sure that families aren't broken up so families stay on the same day whether it be monday and wednesday or tuesday and thursday so there's that thing that's a factor that we need to consider and make sure that we keep families together on the same day that's important so there's some information that we need to get out and then we'll have to get
033back in order for this to happen and we feel that hopefully um that september 8th gives us enough time to do that that would put us a month on the hybrid instruction if things go as they're going right now the hope is that prior to fall break that the numbers would indicate that we're in a minimal risk and then we can bring everybody back and you can see with the minimal risk we don't have to worry about symptom screening and that's the green line on there we don't have to worry about physical distancing we don't have to worry about face coverings although we need to be careful because that's not necessarily our decision that is in the executive order it says that the state health department needs to determine when when health um face coverings
034are no longer needed um cohorting which is just basically keeping the kids together instead of allowing them to go from plastic class for different instruction we can start having the field trips in large catherines and then we don't have to close the communal spaces we don't have to worry about kids eating lunches at different times because we need space things like that so if we can move to that minimal level um which i'm hoping would be some time before fall break then when we come back from fall break it's a natural time to come back in person instruction so that would be based on the numbers at that time correct what they want to see is they want to see two weeks at a certain level so right now for example the percent positive um
035the moderate range is five percent to ten percent but they don't want you to start at moderate until you're below seven because they don't want you basically going in and out of being in school and not in school so they want you well in that range before you start the hybrid instruction but then we can they then hopefully it'll be below five o'clock five o'clock below five percent is the minimal range and right now we're in the sixes and i think that's doable in the next month and a half to get down to that five percent range there's also we need um less than ten cases per hundred thousand residents um that is the range for cases we have about 240 000 residents that means less than 24 cases a week and then also the
036hospitalizations actually look pretty good they're probably going to be in really good shape well before that so those are the three benchmarks and you know i think we're on our way things are going down um if things continue as is i'm i'm optimistic that we'll be in the minimum wage by october but i and i this was quoted in the paper if you can tell me what cove it's going to look like in a month i'll tell you what school's going to look like i'm hoping that this is what school will look like but i can't guarantee it so our benchmarks we're going off of the arizona department of health services guidelines correct correct so these were in a i think a separate executive order may have been the same one with the face masks
037the governor asked the department of health services to establish these benchmarks they were based on cdc and other research on what are good you know what are safe times to bring kids back into school i think they're using similar benchmarks for the gyms and auditoriums and theaters and things like and and bars that have just come out i think they use similar ones this they came out this week or early last week or late last week so it's something that's not just for schools but these benchmarks they use across the board just when people come together let's see and there would be distant learning on the off days in the hybrid correct okay so they would go to school monday and wednesday there'd be some kind of distance learning on tuesdays and thursdays it's going
038to look different for different grade levels um and what happens at the high school is going to be distance hybrid is going to be completely different than what's happening at the elementary schools right and then the off days that they're not here the parents still have the right to bring them forth like the mentoring and the students the student support labs absolutely those are still available for those kiddos we can't provide transportation still and the reason is we don't want kids piling on the bus because we still need to maintain that social distancing but the the student support labs are are required by us to be still be available on those off days basically a safe place for them to come and do their at-home learning if the parents want them to do that so
039in a roundabout way as of yesterday our schools were open for children to come to for correct and i know some districts are limiting who can come we opened it we didn't we not did not do that i do want to say we did open it up if you recall the authorized special needs self-contained special needs classrooms and um they opened up yesterday as well it was nice to see those kiddos and um you know part of it is they have small classes and with lots of staff members so um we were able to you know be very safe in those areas we gave them some extra ppe things like that that they requested but it was really neat to see those kids on campus do you know if any of the parents of the
040special needs students chose to keep their children at home yes was it about 25 is that what it was yeah about 20 percent often because their kids may be medically fragile or there may be someone in their home medically fragile these are kids that tend to have more medical issues than than the average kids and so it doesn't surprise me um and we're you know working the best we can to get those kiddos their therapies and things like that but yeah it did there were families that chose to do that and and i realized china valley is unique i like to say that a lot in all different aspects we are unique what however other areas schools doing so humboldt which is our neighbor to the south east they are going to be at home
041instruction through until at least fall break so through at least august or i'm sorry october 9th then prescott they have decided to do us the identical schedule that we're doing um i don't know if it's been approved or not but i think they've sent that out to their community where they would have the hybrid instruction because of the data through october 9th for them for us since october 8th because of the 40 week and then their plan is if the data warrants it to come back in all in-person instruction after fall break and do you know have either of those districts offered the special needs classes to come back also i know that prescott has i don't know about humboldt and everyone is required to do the student support lab or equivalent that's required as
042part of the governor's executive order that we have to provide that safe place for kids to come if parents choose to bring them are we still providing um lunches to kids right now so we have distance learning we have actually i believe four ways for someone to get lunches okay they really cut back on what we're allowed to do once school started if you recall over the summer we were giving out four seven breakfasts and seven lunches um we did that through bus routes and and grab-and-go's at territorial once school started we switched from the summer feeding program to the national school lunch program and we initially thought it was going to be very much more stringent than it is they gave us a little bit of leeway but still not where we'd like to
043be um we can only give out four breakfasts and four lunches at a time um where we are not um able to give out those extra three meals and that's because we go to school four days a week so it's just school weeks or school days we are allowed to give them all out at the same time and we're doing that now through grab and go's at three schools um along with um we are have we've split up the community into three bus routes so we have a monday a wednesday and a thursday route that covers different parts of the community of the district and parents can come to a bus stop and get those get their eight meals then we also have kiddos that are what we call an asynchronous which is we are
044actually delivering thumb drives to those kiddos that are at home but they don't have internet access they might live out too far things like that we're bringing meals there and then the last week is that we have kids on campus now we have the special needs kids we have the um student support lab kids um we have some other teacher kids on campus and those kids can actually get lunches through the cafeteria as well so that's the fourth way the big deal is we used to be able to give out lunches to anyone ages 0 to 18 for free now that we're in the nslp kids have to get free lunch in order to get free lunch the families have to qualify for free lunch like they would normally or they could qualify for reduced
045lunch or they have to pay for the meals and we don't have any choices there that's required by um the changes um at the state and federal level on that we'd love to do free lunch and there's talk we signed on to i think i mentioned last time sign on to a letter that would during just this time when things are happening like they are to offer summer feeding program or the summer food program all year long to everybody that wanted it but we're not allowed to now has that usage gone up for applications for the free and reduced i don't know what the applications have i can tell you that the number of meals that people are taking has plummeted plummeted so i can tell you what we did and since we asked since
046the question was asked about what we've been doing you know do we care about whether kids go hungry or not absolutely through community donations we've distributed over 3 000 bags of groceries since covet started so just kind of let that sink in those are big bags of groceries so through community donations we've been able to do that and through volunteers delivering those right to doors in fact as most recently as last friday we served over 180 000 meals from the start of covet until the first day of school 180 000 so that's a substantial amount during the device checkout period our food service liaison was at the device checkout for the days all three days that we did that and every person who came for devices was funneled through the table for free and reduced
047lunch applications and every single household in the district received a free and reduced application in the mail as well during july so if people hadn't turned it in or you know had misplaced it or whatever they were able to also obtain that in august so we have done a huge push out for those applications as well so in regard to food we have really gone above and be beyond with our community partners especially to make that happen i know we have i had conversations today with the people that run our weekend meal program and whenever a student school is operational whether it's hybrid or whatever we have they're also mobilized to be able to start sending those extra weekend meal bags home on september 11th we will do another [Music] over 300 residences that will
048receive four four bags of groceries each on september 11th so we're still continuing with some of those things and then i want to touch also on a question that came up which was about do we care about kids mental health absolutely and we have mental health counselors available that are running group sessions that are doing one-on-one sessions via technology and on phones with kids and that's been in place since school started as well so we have not actually since the 10th so that day that that first day of online instruction so counseling staff covers every campus in this district special needs and gen ed kids that all those counseling services are available and we've pushed out suicide hotline numbers and information to our middle school and high school students as well so i wanted to
049since those were issues that were asked do we care i i've never worked anywhere in 34 years that cares more about kids in here thank you cindy sherry any questions no thank you robert i think we covered all the questions kenny or annie do you have any questions for anyone regarding this i know that everyone in that boardroom now we if you've been following along from the beginning of this then you're educated with how we fill a divorce and that is that we have the best interest of our students and our staff in mind and again i'm a mother of three children in our district and i want my kids back in school and i know everyone on this board does i have requested several times for people to be kind we are adoptive it
050means there's stuff that's out of our control and we're doing the best that we can so that would be the only thing that i had to say about this is that continue to be kind there's things that are out of our hands we're doing the best that we can we all know that the kids get educated better when they're in person so we're trying to make that happen thank you annie penny do you have anything the only thing i have is kudos to um mr show and the administrative staff who have gone too greatly to make this as easy and palatable as possible and for researching it as well as they have um i don't know how could it ever be as better as i am thank you all right uh this is an action
