011West I have a daughter whom is 15 years old and attended MCC Central she was in the MSD class I come before you today to speak about the special needs children in our school district I'm sure most of you know someone with special needs or have a family a special need we absolutely need cameras in our MSD rooms as my daughter would say majorly cameras are becoming more common in educational settings in their role in mod moderate and severe disability classrooms cameras provide a way to ensure that school policies are being followed they can enhance the safety of students and staff by creating an environment where everyone is mindful of their actions additionally in cases of misunderstandings and disputes recorded footage can provide clarity the reason I am asking you all to consider this is
012because of an incident that has traumatized my daughter she was restrained twice in three weeks all of the protocols were not put in place during these episodes the children of these schools need cameras bullying and abuse has been going on all year in the classroom that Ash was in by the teacher and Aid I've spoken to other parents and their children have told them what goes on in there as well I was not aware of any of this going on at this school I thought my daughter would be safe but I was wrong this teacher and a have been bullying and abusing let me let me cut you off the board cannot address specific Personnel policies so anything to do with specific teachers like the board cannot that is outside of their perview okay well
013just just for clarity like we can't we can't talk about incidents like the board does not have the ability to get involved in Personnel matters which is what that would be okay well can I finish M okay I am standing up today and I will continue to stand up in fact giving these Special Needs students cameras for their safety this time action by we need a motion and second can I can I speak please can I I'm not on the agenda no not you had to sign up sh okay okay that's make a motion we approve motion motion second chair V true actions with discussion discuss or take action on use District property just Court tourism clean up on Highway 9 that's uh we did this last year they asked to use a bus to
