THE BOARD DOES NOT PROHIBIT PUBLIC CRITICISM OR COMMENT UPON PERSONAL MATTERS. HOWEVER ANY PERSON MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF THEIR COMMENTS. THE BOARD NEITHER ADOPTS NOR ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY COMMENTS MADE BY INDIVIDUALS DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OF THE BOARD MEETING. I BELIEVE WE

008HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT THIS EVENING MR. PAUL FIRTH , WELCOME. THANK YOU AND WELCOME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK EVERYBODY. GOOD TO SEE YOU. AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT MOMENT OF SILENCE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A PARENTAL RIGHTS HERE IN NEW MEXICO AND BEGIN WITH A QUESTION WHERE DO FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS COME FROM. IF FROM THE GOVERNMENT THEY COULD BE TAKEN AWAY OR GIVEN BUT IF THEY ARE FROM GOD THEY CANNOT BE PAID ACCORDING TO OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENT, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT BUT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL AND ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. THE BILL OF RIGHTS WHICH ARE THE FIRST 10 AMENDMENTS IN THE CONSTITUTION INCLUDE SPECIFIC RIGHTS

009OF INDIVIDUALS WHICH ARE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF PROTEST AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND OTHERS. AND BECAUSE THESE RIGHTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL, THEY CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY, THEY ARE PROTECTED BY OUR CONSTITUTION. AND THESE RIGHTS ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE NINTH AMENDMENT THAT STATES THAT LISTING SPECIFIC RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT MEAN THAT PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE OTHER RIGHTS. AND I THOUGHT OF TWO AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BREATHE. AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CUT MY HAIR WHATEVER WAY I WANT TO. ONCE I TRIED I BELIEVE IS THE RIGHT OF PARENTS AND THE INDICATION OF THEIR CHILDREN. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS STATED THE RIGHT OF PARENTS TO EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN IS A PRE-POLITICAL NATURAL RIGHT OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT THAT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS RECOGNIZED AS

010BEYOND DEBATE AND ROOTED IN THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND I JUST HAVE DATES OF 1925, 1923 AND 1972 IN OTHER WORDS THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PARENTS ARE PROTECTED IN THE CONSTITUTION. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THE WORDS OF THE LORD AND CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND PROVERBS 22-6, AND THE WAY HE SHOULD GO. AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT AND IF, IF OTHERS DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH INSTEAD BRING THEM UP IN THE DISCIPLINE AND THE INSTRUCTION OF THE LORD. AND I BELIEVE THESE COMMANDS OF TRAINING AND RAISING OUR CHILDREN ARE GIVEN TO PARENTS AND NOT TO GOVERNMENT. SOME STATES HAVE RECOGNIZED PARENTAL RIGHTS AS FUNDAMENTAL. IN ACCIDENT 2021 THE FLORIDA PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS PROVIDES PROTECTION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PARENTS TO

011PROTECT THE UPBRINGING, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE AND MENTAL HEALTH OF HIS OR HER CHILD AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT MAY NOT INFRINGE ON THESE RIGHTS WITHOUT DEMONSTRATING THAT SUCH ACTION IS REASONABLE AND NECESSARY. ALTHOUGH PARENTAL RIGHTS ARE NOT ENUMERATED IN THE U.S. AND NEW MEXICO CONSTITUTIONS, I DO DECLARE THAT BOTH THE U.S. AND THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO WILL ENACT LEGISLATION, RECOGNIZING AND PROTECTING THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PARENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. FIRTH. AND THAT IS IT FOR OUR PUBLIC COMMENT AND WE WILL MOVE TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. SUPERINTENDENT BRUITS? THANK YOU PRESIDENT CORT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE AT THIS TIME OUR LUST , LAS CRUCES REPORT AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE AN NEA REPORT THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD AFTERNOON. I HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL. MADAM CHAIR, I'M SORRY,

012MADAM PRESIDENT AND SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT BRUITS. ONCE AGAIN THE LEGISLATURE LISTS AN OPPORTUNITY. TO IMPROVE THE SALARIES OF THE CLASSIFIED STAFF HERE IN NEW MEXICO. THERE WAS A BILL PROPOSED FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF FOR THE BASE PAY TO BE $30,000 AND IT WAS REDUCED LAST YEAR AND REDUCED THIS YEAR. AND FOLLOWING THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE TWO STATE AFFILIATES I DID HEAR FROM AFT NEW MEXICO WHITNEY HOLLAND, AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED AND SHE SAID THAT THE BILL WAS NOT FUNDED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A BILL THAT WAS PROPOSED WAS NOT FUNDED. OF COURSE IT'S NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE IF IT IS NOT FUNDED. SO IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT THIS HAPPENED. BUT WE WILL ONCE AGAIN CONTINUE. WE WILL CONTINUE BOTH UNIONS THAT CLASSIFIED SALARIES EVEN THOUGH 30,000 DOESN'T SEEM A LOT

013AS A BASE PAY, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE ARE STARTING. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED AFT NEW MEXICO PRESIDENT WHITNEY HOLLAND THAT THE BASE PAY SHOULD BE 35,000 AND THAT IT BE FUNDED. SO AGAIN, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY WAS MISSED AND IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE AS YOU HAVE HEARD ME BEFORE, AND I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT CLASSIFIED STAFF SOME OF THEM TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT AND THEY DO SO BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS AT THE DISTRICT PROVIDES. MAINLY INSURANCE. AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES IN A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT PROVIDE. SO AGAIN, IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I AM SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU. WE WILL CONTINUE AND WE WILL CONTINUE AND WE WILL HIT IT HARDER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN FOR NEXT YEAR. ESPECIALLY FOR BOTH BILLS. SO, AS YOU KNOW WHY AM I PURSUING THIS, BECAUSE

014I AM A STRONG ADVOCATE AS MANY OF YOU KNOW ME TO BE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT I REPRESENT THE CLASSIFIED AND SUPPORT STAFF OF THIS DISTRICT. THIS IMPACTS ALL CLASSIFIED SUPPORT STAFF THROUGHOUT NEW MEXICO. SO YES, I WILL BEGIN CONVERSATIONS WITH LEGISLATORS TO SEE AND TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW WAS THIS BILL PROPOSED WITHOUT NO FUNDING? I CONGRATULATE THAT THE LEGISLATURE DID APPROVE THE 5000 INCREASE ON EVERY TEAR. AND THAT THE NURSES WILL ALSO BE A PART OF THAT TEAR WHICH ARE ALREADY HERE IN THE DISTRICT BUT THIS WILL IMPACT OTHER NURSES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. AS YOU KNOW, AS I HAVE SHARED WITH MANY OF YOU, ARE CLASSIFIED STAFF, SOME OF THEM WORK MORE THAN ONE JOB. I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT MORE THAN ONCE. AND SOME OF THE BOARD HERE HAS SAID THAT AS

015FORMER BOARD SO AGAIN WE WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE BECAUSE THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN, NEW MEXICO IS NOT A POOR STATE, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY TELLS ME, WHEN THIS STATE HAS A $5 BILLION BUDGET, AND THEY CAN ONLY COME UP WITH WHAT THEY HAVE COME UP WITH? NO. THAT'S TOO BAD. THAT IS SAD. I AM GLAD THAT THIS YEAR THE WAGE INCREASE IS ANOTHER 1%. SO WE'VE GOT THAT TO WORK WITH WITH OUR DISTRICT NEGOTIATIONS TEAM. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, ABOUT THAT. THAT IS WITH A SAD HEART THAT I COME AND SHARE MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU. I AM OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS. BOARD? OH, COME ON. >> IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU BACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON BEHALF OF THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES. I WILL CONTINUE FOR

016ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS BUT THEN THIS WARRIOR AND ADVOCATE WILL SAY SEE YOU. PRESIDENT CORT, I WOULD SAY FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THIS PARTICULAR SESSION AND IT BEING ONE OF THE LONGER SESSIONS, I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF FRUSTRATION. HAVE A LOT OF STUFF NOT BEING PASSED. CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. ARE AFT NEW MEXICO PRESIDENT AND OUR GOVERNMENT RELATIONS THEY WORK VERY TIRELESSLY FOR THIS BILL TO PASS SO I AM GRATEFUL THAT THEY DID. AND AGAIN, IT IS JUST SAD THAT THIS HAPPENED THE WAY IT HAPPENED AND I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS AND THAT'S THE WAY MY MIND WORKS. I MAY HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND THEN LATER ON I REFLECT AND THEN I WANT TO ASK MORE SO YES, I WILL BE ASKING QUESTIONS. AND SEE YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, WHY IN THE WORLD WAS THIS

017BILL PROPOSED WITHOUT NO BACKING OF FUNDING. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. MADAM PRESIDENT, I AM NOT SURE IF YOU WERE AWARE OF THE LUNCHEON HAPPENING ON APRIL 16. WITH I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LEGISLATORS WILL BE THERE THAT MAYBE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS YOUR SENTIMENTS WITH THEM. OR ASK QUESTIONS. IT IS A LUNCHEON AT THE NEW MEXICO FARM AND RANCH MUSEUM. AND IT'S GOING TO BE FROM LET ME LOOK. 1115 TO 1:15 PM AND YOU PAY I GUESS $55 PER TICKET FOR A MEMBER. IT'S THE GREATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THAT RUNS THIS. HOST SAY. SO I CAN SEND IT TO YOU. THANK YOU. YOU ARE WELCOME. >> AND I LIKE I SAY, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TEACHERS AND FOR THE NURSES BUT BOY, THEY LEFT AT THE CLASSIFIED STAFF AND SUPPORT

018STAFF BEHIND. NO CHILD BEHIND, NO CLASSIFIED STAFF BEHIND. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. MR. FRANK? >> ON THE SAME NOTE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE HAVING A LEGISLATIVE REVIEW AT THEIR NEXT MEETING WHICH IS THE LAST THURSDAY IN APRIL. OKAY. THANK YOU MR. FRANK. THAT'S WHY I AM SKIPPING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ONE BECAUSE I WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT AT THE PDA ONE. THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. APPRECIATE THE REPORT AND OUR CONTINUED COLLABORATION AS WELL AS WE SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES AND MOVING FORWARD, PRESIDENT AND CORE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, ANOTHER UPDATE HAS PART OF MY SUPERINTENDENT REPORT TODAY, FOLLOWING THE UNTHINKABLE TRAGEDY THAT OCCURRED AT YOUNG PARK ON MARCH 21 I WANT TO BRIEF THE BOARD AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITH SOME SPECIFIC STEPS THAT WE TOOK TO ENSURE OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES HAVE

019THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO HEAL. WE ACKNOWLEDGE FIRST OF ALL WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRAGEDY SATURDAY MORNING LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS CABINET LEADERSHIP MET TO OUTLINE FOR THE COMING DAYS AND WE SENT THE MESSAGE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH TO ALL OF CPS FAMILIES ADDRESSING THE TRAGIC INCIDENT AT YOUNG PARK AND EXPRESSING SORROW. FOR THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY. KNOWING EVERYONE INVOLVED WAS A CURRENT OR FORMER MEMBER OF THE LCPS COMMUNITY HAVING PARTICULARLY HEAVY EMOTIONAL IMPACT ON ALL INVOLVED.

OUR TOP PRIORITY IS ENSURE THAT WE HAVE AND PROVIDE SAFE SPACES FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF. WE THEN ADDRESSED UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION AND ADVISED REPORT DO NOT REPOST. THE DISTRICT URGES THE COMMUNITY TO AVOID SPREADING RUMORS OR UNCONFIRMED DETAILS WHICH COULD HARM THOSE AFFECTED BY THE TRAGEDY. IN THESE SITUATIONS IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE ACCURATE , OFFICIAL INFORMATION FROM

021LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND NOT POST UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION THAT COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE INVESTIGATION. WE ALSO PROVIDED IMMEDIATE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES, LCPS SHARED A LIST OF RESOURCES TO HELP GUIDE A CONVERSATION INCLUDING THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE AND KIDS TALK AS WELL AS OPERATIONAL HOURS FOR THE SERVICES. THE DISTRICT ENCOURAGES FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS TO REVIEW RESOURCES AND HOW TO TALK TO CHILDREN ABOUT VIOLENCE, HELPING TO GUIDE DISCUSSIONS IN A SENSITIVE MANNER.

THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDED ON MARCH 22. IT WAS A 60 DAY LEGISLATIVE SESSION. WE HAD A RECORD OF LEGISLATION BEING FILED A LITTLE OVER 1300 PIECES OF LEGISLATION WERE

029FILED DURING THE 60 DAY SESSION AND WHEN I SAY LEGISLATION KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT ONLY JOINT RESOLUTIONS, SENATE RESOLUTIONS, ALTOGETHER COMPRISED THIS NUMBER OF 1300 PIECES OF LEGISLATION. AND A REALLY SMALL AMOUNT OF THAT ENDED UP AT THE GOVERNOR'S DESK JUST OVER 200 PIECES. AND I WANT TO REMIND MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD THAT THIS PRESENTATION IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS EVERYTHING I WILL TELL YOU TODAY IN THIS REPORT IS SUBJECT TO THE PASSAGE AND VETO AND SHE HAS UNTIL APRIL 11 WITH THE CABINET SECRETARIES TO DECIDE WHAT IS GOING TO BE VETOED AND WHAT IS GOING TO BE PASSED.

IN DETAIL AND IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND AN EMAIL I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THERE, YOU SEE A FEW IMPORTANT DATES, THE FIRST ONE THAT I AM GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THERE IS APRIL 28. I SAW SOMEONE GIVING A REPORT AND TALKING ABOUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BILL IS FILED WITHOUT HAVING A BUDGET? DO YOU GO, APRIL 28 IS WHERE

031THE STATE BUDGET MEETINGS START SO IF THERE IS ANY REQUEST WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET, AND SECURING FUNDING FOR ANY POLICY, YOU HAVE TO BE IN THAT MEETING WHICH IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC IN SANTA FE AND BEGIN THE REQUEST AND THE PROCESS OF CREATING THE WHOLE STATE BUDGET FOR APRIL 28 IS A VERY IMPORTANT DATE, AND THEN FOR US AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, IS MAY 15, I WILL BEGIN MONITORING THE COMMUNITY SESSIONS TRACKING THEIR AGENDA AND WHAT IS GOING TO COME UP AS A TOPIC FOR THIS LEGISLATIVE YEAR IN PREPARATION FOR THE 30 DAY SESSION COMING UP NEXT YEAR. NEXT SLIDE. THIS ONE? MR. CRIS BALZANO, I APOLOGIZE, IS IT SLIDE FOUR? RIGHT NOW WE WILL GO TO SLIDE THREE. BACK ONE. THERE YOU GO. PERFECT, SO THIS LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE FINAL PACKAGE THAT I

032SENT YOU BY EMAIL MARCH 30 WILL INCLUDE EVERYTHING THAT THE GOVERNOR SIGNED, VETOED, LEGISLATION THAT DID NOT PASS AND YOU ALWAYS RECEIVED LEGISLATIVE TRACKING THAT PEOPLE ARE MONITORING EDUCATION DEALS AND THAT WILL BE DIVIDED AND WHAT MADE IT TO THE GOVERNOR AND WHAT DID NOT. AND ALSO YOU RECEIVED HOUSE BILL TWO, ANALYSIS ON PUBLIC SCHOOL SUPPORT AND THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. AND COMPREHENSIVE DIVIDED SO YOU CAN SEE EACH LINE ITEM THAT IS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND THIS CASE IT'S NOT APPLICABLE TAX PACKAGES, THERE IS A LOT OF TAX CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED AND SOMETIMES I ATTACH THAT AS WELL, YOU ALSO SEE WHAT IS SECURITY, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY REAUTHORIZATION BUT ALL OF THAT IS IN A PACKAGE AND DOCTORAL APRIL 15 I WILL UPDATE THAT WITH ACTUALLY WHAT THE GOVERNOR SIGNED AND VETOED AND

033YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS FINAL ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THAT DOCUMENT. AFTER APRIL 15 BECAUSE THAT GIVES US TIME TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SHE HAS DONE IN EXECUTIVE OFFICE. NEXT SLIDE. THERE GIVES YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE STATISTICS, RIGHT? OF THE SESSION, WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS JUST A REMINDER, WE TALK ABOUT STATE BUDGET. THIS IS THE MAIN BILLS THAT RUN THE STATE STARTING JULY 1. WHICH IS OF FISCAL YEAR SO GIVE YOU THAT REMINDER ON THAT. THE LIEN FOR THOSE BILLS ARE LOCATED ON YOUR HP 2 ANALYSIS. YOU CAN LOOK UP THE LINE ITEM IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO DETAIL, FEEL FREE TO DO THAT THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OVER THE FINAL PACKAGE THAT WAS SENT. GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND SO LET'S

034TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIGHLIGHTS. WHAT WERE THE BILLS THERE ON EDUCATION THROUGHOUT THE SESSION THAT EVERYONE WAS DEBATING. ADVOCATING, LOBBYING AND THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING. YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD ABOUT HOUSE BILL 63. THIS IS IN EACH BILL THERE, I PUT SOME SYNAPSIS SO IT KIND OF REMINDS YOU WHAT IS ABOUT IT. HB 63 WAS A MAJOR PIECE OF LEGISLATION FOR HOURS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN EDUCATION. AND THE BIG REASON WHY WAS BECAUSE IT DID INCREASE THE SEG THAT BILL TO THE PROCESS OF GOING FROM THE HOUSE TO THE SENATE THEY TOOK IT OUT AND THE INCREASE OF THE SECONDARY FACTOR WITH STUDENTS FROM GRADES 6-12 THAT WAS NOT GOOD, SO WITH LOBBYING EFFORTS AND ADVOCATING EFFORTS WE WERE ABLE TO AMEND THE DEAL AND GET THAT WITH FUNDING AS WELL. IT

035IS A 4% INCREASE, SALARIES, AVERAGE SALARY INCREASE FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL. ONE NOTE THERE THAT I WANT THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE BOARD TO KNOW IS THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDING THE LANGUAGE, ON HOUSE BILL TWO, IT ASSUMES THAT THE DISTRICT CALCULATES THE 4% AVERAGE FIRST. THEN, YOU DO THE ENTIRE INCREASE, AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO BRING THAT OUT IS SO THAT YOU DON'T FALL SHORT WITH FUNDING BECAUSE SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS PREVIOUSLY HAVE DONE THE ENTIRE INCREASE AND THEN THE 4%. SO THAT IS JUST, LET'S JUST WATCH FOR THAT ON THAT HOUSE BILL 623 WAS A MAJOR AGAIN BILL AND EMILY HAVE THE ONE YOU HEARD , SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AND WHY THE BILL CAME ABOUT. AND HOUSE BILL 65, SO ONE AND ALL THOSE BILLS THAT ARE LISTED HERE

036AND THE HIGHLIGHT, THEY ARE IN THE GOVERNOR'S DESK, OKAY? THEY ALL PASSED AND THEY ARE THERE. HOUSE BILL 65, WHAT HAPPENED HERE, THE GOVERNOR VETOED. AND THE HOUSE OVERRIDE IT THE VETO. AND THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER THIS HAPPENING WAS 12 YEARS AGO. IT IS VERY RARE WERE YOU CAN PUT A WHOLE BODY, MAJORITY AND MINORITY TOGETHER OVERWRITING A VETO OFF THE GOVERNOR. SO, THAT WAS A PART OF HISTORY NOW. JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT BECAUSE THE BILL DIED AND IT WAS VETOED, NO IT GOT OVERRATED BY THE BODY AND THEY STOP EVERYTHING THE LAST DAY AND THE LAST HOUR OF THE SESSION AND PASSED THE BILL OVERWRITING THE VETO, RIGHT? LET'S GO TO NEXT SLIDE. WE CONTINUE WITH OTHER PIECES OF LEGISLATION. THAT WE ARE MONITORING. THAT AREN'T PART OF LAS CRUCES

037PUBLIC SCHOOLS, I PUT SOME SYNAPSIS THERE, A MAJOR ONE THAT COULD HAVE IMPACTED US WAS HOUSE BILL 396. THAT BILL DID NOT WE ALREADY HAD THAT AS A HIGHLIGHT, I DID MENTION THAT , THAT ONE WOULD PREVENT IT, TOGETHER WITH OTHER PARTNERS TO GO TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK JUST BECAUSE WE FELT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND IT AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO BUT IT NEEDS MORE ENGAGEMENT FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THE COUNTIES. AND A LOT OF LEGISLATURES WERE CONFUSED NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS WAS COMING BEFORE THEM, THEY REACHED OUT TO US AND TO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS. OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. AND WE DECIDED LET'S PUT A HOLD ON THIS AND HOW ABOUT WE WORK ON THIS DURING THE INTERIM SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE 60 ABOVE THERE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION, IT IS

038AN INVITATION THAT IS GIVING TO STUDY THOSE PROVISIONS AND INITIATIVES THAT WOULD REQUIRE TO MAKE CHANGES 396 WAS TRYING TO DO THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED US AND THE FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE FOR THIS, I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ENGAGE ON THE WORK FOR THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE THE ENGAGEMENT OF BOTH COUNTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH SPACEPORT, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THE BOARD, AND OBVIOUSLY STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHER BOARDS THAT ARE UNDER THE SPACEPORT AS WELL. SO JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU HEARD ANYTHING AT LEAST, LET US KNOW AND LET ME KNOW. THROUGH THIS, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THAT IS A POINT OF MAJOR DISCUSSION. ONE IT WAS SB 11, THE THING ABOUT THIS BILL IS TO GIVE GUIDANCE TO THE BOARD THAT RULES REGARDING CELL PHONES NEED TO GET SOME FUNDING.

039AND THAT IS WE DON'T SEE THAT A LOT, RIGHT? SO AS I WAS SAYING ON PASSING A POLICY THAT BECOMES LAW, AND IT BECOMES AN UNFUNDED MANDATE AND A BOARD FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT THIS TIME IT DID HAVE FUNDING ATTACHED WHICH WAS GOOD. AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN IMPLEMENT THAT. THAT IS FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS AS WELL. ON HOUSE BILL TWO. AND ANALYSIS ON HOUSE BILL TWO THAT I SENT THAT IS THE BREAKDOWN AVAILABLE FOR INITIATIVES, I BELIEVE IT IS ABOUT $6 MILLION THAT IS ACCESSIBLE FOR SCHOOLS AND LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THAT IS THE OVERALL THAT I WAS EXPLAINING AT THE BEGINNING, I WILL NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME BEING REPETITIVE, I WOULD JUST GO AND REMIND YOU WHEN IT COMES TO CITY FUNDING WE GOT 1.5 EVEN

040FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT ON HOUSE BILL TWO AND WE HAVE 38.5 MILLION FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION, USED FOR PILOT PROJECTS INCLUDING INNOVATION, WORK-BASED LEARNING. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE IF YOU GO TO THE ANALYSIS THAT I SENT AGAIN, I BROKE DOWN WHAT THIS IS USED FOR. BUT I AM VERY HAPPY THAT THE LEGISLATURE HELPED US CONTINUE EFFORTS AND FUNDING THERE FOR EDUCATION, MATH PROGRAMS AS WELL AND SURE, LIKE I SAID WITH THE INCREASE FOR OUR SCHOOL PERSONNEL, I THINK THIS IS HUGE. IT STARTED , HISTORICALLY RECEIVED INCREASES FOR SALARIED TEACHERS. THE TIMES GET OFFSET WITH INSURANCE. AND NOT SEEING THAT INCREASE IN THEIR PAYCHECK BECAUSE YOU SEE EVERYTHING ELSE INCREASING AT THIS TIME THEY COMPLEMENTED THAT AND PUT THAT AMOUNT PROPERLY THERE. NEXT SLIDE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT CAPITAL OUTLAY. THE RIO GRANDE PREPARATORY INSTITUTE

041FACILITY IS THE CITY CENTER. SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH WE , HOW MUCH IT WAS SECURE FOR THE LEGISLATURES AND THE LOCATION AND THE LANGUAGE WHERE THAT FUNDING IS RIGHT NOW. THIS NEXT SLIDE. THAT IS THE SAME WAY, ALL INFORMATION IS THERE IN CASE YOU WANTED TO TRACK IT AND SUBMITTED, THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU SAW WAS THE CTE AND THE OTHER WAS THE FAMILY SUPPORT WHICH IS THE LAST PROJECT WHICH WE DID, SO ONE RESERVATION I WANT TO BRING UP AS YOU CAN SEE THERE THE TOTAL AMOUNTS THAT WERE SECURE WITH THE TOTAL AMOUNT REQUESTED. I REALLY BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE WITH THE BODY AS A WHOLE, AS A DELEGATION, THE TAKING TURNS ON WHO TO HELP WITH THEIR VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT THEY HAVE, AS YOU PROBABLY

042REMEMBER ON THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION WE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL. WORKING THE CABINET, MYSELF. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD. UPON SECURING THE FUNDING AND THE 30 DAY WAS A SHORT SESSION AND WE WORK EVERY DAY THAT WE ARE UP THERE. WITH EACH LEGISLATURE, I BELIEVE THIS UPCOMING SESSION, WE CAN DO THE SAME. NOW THAT THEY WERE TAKING TURNS AND WHO TO HELP. WE SAY HEY, LET'S FINISH THOSE PROJECTS THAT YOU SUPPORTED THAT YOU HELP LET'S DO THIS. AND COMPLETE THAT. NEXT SLIDE. NOW WHAT IS NEXT? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AGAIN, APRIL STATE BUDGET BEGINS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT DATES THAT WE ARE WATCHING THERE, YES. AFTER JULY 1, THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. THERE IS CONVERSATIONS AS THE LEGISLATURE CREATED THIS BUDGET. THAT I BROKE DOWN THE ANALYSIS FOR YOU, THEY ARE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION KEY

043FUNDING PROBLEMS FROM THE FEDS THAT MAY ARE NOT AT THE TIME THE MESSAGE GRANTS, TITLE I, FUNDING FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND OTHER THINGS THAT COME THROUGH SO THEY WERE CALCULATING THIS AND SAYING IF IT IS MASSIVE CUTS COMING IN NOT ONLY FOR EDUCATION AS WELL FOR MEDICAID BECAUSE WHAT IT REALLY IS LIKE BE PREPARED, EVERY SINGLE AGENCY INCLUDING EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT 5-7% RESERVE AT BEING REFERRED FOR CASH BALANCES STATEWIDE TO THE BUDGET. SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN PART OR HAVE SEEN WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE HAPPENED BEFORE IN 2016 WE WERE UP THERE WORKING, AT 1 AM MAKING SURE THAT NO MORE THAN A CERTAIN AMOUNT WILL HAVE BEEN SPECIAL SESSION IS A POSSIBILITY IN OCTOBER. THAT WILL ADDRESS WITH THAT. AND IF THAT HAPPENS, IF IT IS THOSE FEDERAL CUTS REALLY IMPACTING THE

044STATE. WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE STATE ON THE BUDGET FOR TWO FISCAL YEARS. BUT IF THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN AND WE SEE FUNDING STILL COMING EVEN THOUGH WITH THE CUTS AND THE CLOSURES OF DEPARTMENTS, WE WILL BE OKAY, THE FIVE-SEVEN ASSENT , WE HAVE HEARD SPECIAL SESSION COMING UP BEFORE THE CENTER, WHEN IT COMES TO JUVENILE LIMIT REFORM AND SOME CRIME DEALS, THAT IS ON THE TABLE BEING DISCUSSED RIGHT NOW. BUT I WANT TO JUST LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SPECIAL SESSION AND REALLY THE SCHOOL BUDGET AND WHAT COULD COME UP. AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINS. SO ANOTHER IMPORTANT DATE IS A FORUM SO WE CAN SCHEDULE THAT AND HAVE THE LEGISLATION COME SO WE CAN PRESENT OUR REQUEST AND HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE PROJECTS WE WILL BE WORKING

045WITH. NEXT SLIDE. NEXT ONE. AND THAT WILL BE IT SO, I APPRECIATE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU THIS REPORT AND AGAIN THERE WAS ME, UNTIL APRIL 11 TO FINALIZE THE VETO IN PASSAGE AND YOU'LL RECEIVE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE FINAL PACKAGE WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE PASSED. YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT COMPREHENSIVE REPORT BOARD MEMBERS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? FOR MR. CRIS BALZANO? MISS TENORIO? IN YOUR TIME THERE, CAN YOU KIND OF INDICATE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT COULD HAVE MADE THE SESSION OR PRODUCTIVE? YOU ARE ASKING ME, ANY IDEAS WHAT COULD MAKE THE SESSION MORE PRODUCTIVE? IS THAT WHAT I HEARD? FROM THE PERCEPTION OR FROM MYSELF AS A LOBBYIST FROM WHICH PERSPECTIVE? I THINK FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. OR THE PUBLIC. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THE THINGS

046THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHEN I KNOW THAT EACH ONE OF YOU WILL BE UP THERE. HOW WE CAN MAXIMIZE THE TIME. VISITING WITH LEGISLATURES, TALKING TO THEM, REMINDING THEM OF PRIORITIES, ARE FOR PROJECTS, AND I KNOW EACH ONE OF YOU SPENT TIME WITH THE LEGISLATURE, SPOKE OF THEM, BEHIND-THE-SCENES DOING THE LOBBYING. IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGY OF STOPPING LEGISLATION THAT IS A LOT OF LEGISLATION FROM 1300 ON EDUCATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO US AND WOULD WORK ON STOPPING WITH LEADERSHIP. SO EVERYONE IS SOMEONE ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS THE DISTRICT THERE, NOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEGISLATURES SIDE, IT IS WHAT IT IS, WE CANNOT CONTROL PEOPLE. RIGHT? AND YOU ALL KNOW THIS. AND ONLY THING WE CAN DO WHICH AGAIN I TRIED TO MAXIMIZE AND CONTINUE BEING PRODUCTIVE IS REALLY OKAY,

047WHEN THE BOARD IS UP IN SANTA FE, WHAT CAN WE DO? AND YOU DID. I BELIEVE, I DID THAT AS WELL, THE SUPERINTENDENT WORKING AND THIS WAS THE RESULT. OF WHAT IS THERE. IT IS AN EXTREMELY AMBIGUOUS PLACE. WHEN IT COUNTS TO THE MAKING OF LAW. AND YOU HAD TO EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN YOU'RE UP THERE AND UNDERSTAND THAT AS I DO. I CAN'T RELEGATE SUGGESTIONS. WHAT THE LEGISLATURE CAN DO. BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HAS BEEN CALLED EFFECTIVE AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO CONTINUE DOING IN THE UPCOMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION. OKAY. I'M NOT CONVINCED I GUESS I WILL HAVE OTHER IDEAS. BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU. I THINK WE ARE GOOD. I WANTED TO BRING UP BEFORE WE AND REPORT HERE, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT FOR EXAMPLE SENATE BILL 480

048WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS GOING TO AGAIN PENDING THE SIGNATURE OF THE GOVERNOR, AS A DISTRICT THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO POTENTIALLY EXPAND OUR GRAB AN ALLIANCE WORK THAT WE ARE ENGAGING IN. BECAUSE THIS WILL GIVE US INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY EXPAND ACROSS ESTATE AND ENGAGE OUR DROPOUT RECOVERY PIECE THAT WILL HELP NOT ONLY THOSE KIDDOS BUT OUR DISTRICT AS WELL. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAD EARLY ON REQUESTED AND THEY COULD NOT DO IT AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT IT WENT TO LEGISLATION AND IS ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK SO WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. HM 60 THE SPACEPORT, THIS WILL ALSO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY OUR GOAL HERE RIGHT TO BE AT THE TABLE, FOR OUR INPUT AROUND THIS. TO ENSURE THAT AS WE ARE MAKING

049THOSE DECISIONS AND BRINGING THOSE TO THE LEGISLATURE THAT HOW IS IT GOING TO IMPACT BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS LITTLE OVER $1 MILLION IMPACT FOR US AND OUR KIDS IN THE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS OUR CHALLENGER CENTER, ETC. THAT WE BENEFIT FROM. AND OUR KIDS BENEFIT FROM. SB 11 THIS IS THE CELL PHONE BILL THAT WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON, THIS ONE IF AND WHEN IT GETS APPROVED. AND WHAT THE IMPACT FOR US AND SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY INCORPORATING SOME OF THESE THINGS WITH THE CELL PHONES ETC. AND WE ARE SEEING SOME POSITIVE PIECES THERE IN REGARDS TO BEHAVIOR, ETC. SO THIS WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOW LOOK AT THIS LEGISLATION AND THEN HOW THEN WE EXPAND THAT ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND ACROSS THE SCHOOLS, JUST WANTED TO BRING UP

050A COUPLE OF THOSE HIGHLIGHTS THERE AS WELL. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU. AND I THINK WE CAN LET MR. CRIS BALZANO GO. YES, I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE. THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT. AS PER OUR DISCUSSION EARLIER, WE ARE MOVING UP THE FINANCE PLAN UPDATE TO NOW. AND SO MR. HARRIGAN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME AND WOW US WITH YOUR DATA AND NUMBERS, WE ARE READY. OH, MR. LOU, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE COMING UP AS WELL, THANK YOU. I JUST CAME HERE TO INTRODUCE MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, FOR THIS ITEM I WILL INVITE MR. ERIC HARRIGAN AS MANY KNOW HIM, THE MANAGING COUNTER FOR CAPITAL MARKET AND HE WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE ABOUT OUR FINANCE PLAN AND HOW

051WE ARE GOING TO APPROACH WITH THE UPCOMING TIME. THANK YOU MR. LOU. THAT AFTERNOON, MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT RUIZ. CAPITAL MARKETS, ERIC HARRIGAN, COMING TO YOU A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN NORMAL THIS YEAR. GOING TO KIND OF COVER SOME OF THE SIMILAR ITEMS THAT I'VE GONE THROUGH IN THE PAST. JUST KIND OF COMING OFF OF WHAT WAS YOUR LAST ITEM THAT YOU WERE SPEAKING ABOUT. THERE WAS RECENT LEGISLATION THAT MEMORIALIZED THE TWO CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. RELATED TO A VETERAN EXEMPTION WHICH I WILL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON. BUT, YOU KNOW IN ADDITION NOT ONLY TO THIS, TO THIS BOND SALE THE BOARD WILL HAVE AN ELECTION COMING UP AND THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THAT WHICH I WILL BE GOING OVER AS WELL. TO REFRESH THE

052BOARD'S MEMORY OF WHAT YOUR TAX BASE HAS DONE, IT CONTINUES TO GROW WITH A PRETTY HEALTHY RATE. WHEN WE WERE LOOKING INITIALLY TO GOING TO VOTERS AND ASKING VOTERS TO AUTHORIZE 50 MILLION , YOUR AVERAGE GROWTH AT THAT TIME WAS ABOUT 3%. WE WERE ANTICIPATING ABOUT 12% GROWTH OVER THAT FOUR YEAR PERIOD AND YOU ACTUALLY ALMOST DOUBLE THAT OR LITTLE BIT MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT, YOU'VE SEEN ABOUT 25% GROWTH IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RETIRE VERY QUICKLY. ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE ARE ASKING AND GOING BACK TO VOTERS FOR BASICALLY A 30% INCREASE. IN AUTHORIZATION, BUT THAT WILL MAINTAIN THE EXISTING TAX RATE THAT YOU HAVE, THIS WILL NOT INCREASE THE EXISTING TAX RATE AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT'S BECAUSE YOUR TAX

053BASE HAS GROWN SO WELL OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. SO I HAVE YOUR HISTORY OF TAX RATES. YOU GOT YOUR OPERATIONAL MILL LEVY, YOUR HB 33 MILL LEVY, AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR SERVICE MILL LEVY, AGAIN AS I TALK ABOUT THESE UPCOMING BONDS, THAT THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO ISSUE SINCE THE LAST DEBT THAT VOTERS AUTHORIZED, AND THE ELECTION CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT $4.61 TAX RATE THAT THE DISTRICT HAS HAD IN PLACE FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. SO, THE DISTRICT IN TOTAL YOU HAVE 128 MILLION OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, YOU ALSO HAVE LEAST PURCHASE AGREEMENTS, THEY COUNT AGAINST YOUR BUYING CAPACITY THAT ARE PAID FROM YOUR HB 33 MILL LEVY SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT YOU HAVE OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS AGAINST YOUR LEGAL CAPACITY IS 147 MILLION. AS MENTIONED, YOU DO PAY OFF YOUR

054DEBT VERY, VERY QUICKLY. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT YOU HAVE A STRONG BOND RATING AND THIS ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO LAYER IN NEW BONDS AND ASKED FOR VOTERS EVERY FOUR YEARS FOR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION AND TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN. THE HISTORICAL TAX RATES THAT THE DISTRICT HAS. SO, THIS IS THE LAST OF THE AUTHORIZATION THAT VOTERS GAVE THE DISTRICT BACK IN NOVEMBER 2021. CURRENTLY, YOU'RE ABOUT 57% BONDED TO CAPACITY, YOUR CAPACITY IS BASED UPON 6% OF YOUR TAX BASE. SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT YOU COULD HAVE OUTSTANDING IS AROUND 280 MILLION AS I WAS MENTIONING YOU HAVE ABOUT 147 MILLION OUTSTANDING. AND THEN WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THESE BONDS IT PUSHES UP TO ABOUT 160 MILLION SO YOU ARE STILL ABOUT 60% BONDED TO CAPACITY EVEN WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THESE BONDS THAT ARE

055COMING UP. SPECIFICALLY TO THESE BONDS, WE ARE RECOMMENDING REALLY A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SALE METHOD. BECAUSE WE WILL BE ABLE TO RETIRE THIS DEBT QUICKLY WITHIN ABOUT 2 1/2 YEAR PERIOD. THE STATE TREASURER'S WILL TO PURCHASE YOUR BONDS IT IS ON A TAXABLE BASIS. WHICH DOES COME WITH A HIGHER INTEREST RATE BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE PAYING YOUR DEBT OFF VERY QUICKLY, YOU ARE MINIMIZING THAT INTERESTING PACK, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET A BOND RATING OR PREPARE A PRELIMINARY OFFERING DOCUMENT. WHICH SAVES THE DISTRICT IN ISSUANCE COST. THE OTHER BENEFIT TO, THESE ARE TAXABLE BONDS. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN TAX REQUIREMENTS. THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEET BECAUSE THERE IS NO SPENDING REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM WHEN YOU SELL YOUR TRADITIONAL TAX EXEMPTION OBLIGATION BONDS, GENERALLY THE GENERAL RULE IS YOU HAVE TO SPEND ABOUT 85%

056OF THOSE PROCEEDS WITHIN A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. THERE IS NO ARBITRATORS SO IF YOU DO EARN OVER THE BORROWING RATE ON THESE BONDS, YOU GET TO KEEP THOSE FUNDS INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REMAKE THOSE BACK. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW, SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES HAVE BEEN VERY HIGH. YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BORROW AT LOWER RATES. AND WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVING TO PAY WHAT WE CALL REBATE. BECAUSE YOU ARE EXCEEDING THE INTEREST RATE ON YOUR TAX EXEMPT DEBT, THAT IS ANOTHER BENEFIT OF ISSUING THE BONDS ON A TAXABLE BASIS. AGAIN, THE ISSUANCE OF THESE BONDS MAINTAINS THE TAX RATE THAT THE DISTRICT HAS OUTSTANDING AND IS REALLY THE GROWTH IN YOUR TAX BASES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT BEING ABLE TO PAY US. IT

057IS BONDS ALSO QUICKLY. SO FROM AN ELECTION TIMING STANDPOINT, AS ALREADY MENTIONED WE ARE RECOMMENDING 65 MILLION OF AUTHORIZATION TO GO BEFORE VOTERS THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER. THE SUMMER , WE WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH AN ELECTION RESOLUTION. IN ADDITION TO THE BOND ELECTION, YOUR HB 33 MILL LEVY IS ALSO COMING UP TO EXPIRE AND THIS WOULD BE A CONTINUATION OF THAT EXISTING HB 33 MILL LEVY AND YOUR SB NINE THERE IS STILL A COUPLE MORE YEARS ON THAT BEFORE WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO VOTERS, WE DIDN'T WANT TO PROVIDE JUST FOR FUTURE PLANNING PURPOSES, JUST KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A MATRIX OF WHEN WE WOULD BE RECOMMENDING BOND ELECTIONS ALONG WITH YOUR HB 33 AND SB NINE MILL LEVY ELECTIONS JUST FOR FUTURE PLANNING PURPOSES. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I

058KIND OF GO INTO THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PASSED BY VOTERS LAST NOVEMBER? BOARD? OKAY. SO, YES, SO LAST NOVEMBER VOTERS APPROVED TWO CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT EXPANDED THE EXEMPTIONS THAT VETERANS RECEIVE ON PROPERTY VALUES. THESE EXEMPTIONS HAVE BEEN MEMORIALIZED BY THE LEGISLATURE I BELIEVE THE BILL HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR WHICH WAS HOUSE BILL 47 I BELIEVE AND BASICALLY WHAT IT DID IS THAT IT EXPANDED THE DISABLED VETERANS EXEMPTION SO PRIOR TO THESE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, 100% OF DISABLED VETERANS WERE ABLE TO EXEMPT 100% OF THEIR PROPERTY VALUE FROM TAXATION, THAT GOT EXPANDED TO ANY DISABLED VETERAN GETS TO EXEMPT THE PERCENT DISABLED FROM PROPERTY TAXES SO FOR EXAMPLE, A 50% DISABLED VETERAN WILL BE ABLE TO EXEMPT 50% OF THEIR NET POSSIBLE VALUE FROM TAXATION, CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TWO, INCREASE THE STANDARD VETERAN EXEMPTION REGARDLESS

059OF YOUR DISABILITY LEVEL FROM 4000 TO 10,000 ALSO IN THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS APPROVED AND FOR AN INFLATION INDEX. AND SO THAT NUMBER COULD GROW OVER TIME. BASED UPON WHAT THE RATE OF INFLATION IS. WHEN IT COMES TO THE DISABLED VETERAN EXEMPTION, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REALLY CALCULATE WHAT THAT IMPACT IS. WHAT THE PERCENT DISABLED VETERANS ARE WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TAX SPACE AND HOW MUCH PROPERTY AND WHAT THE VALUE OF THAT PROPERTY IF YOU DO INFORMATION ON THE PERCENT DISABLED VETERANS WITHIN THE COUNTY, BY APPLYING THOSE PERCENTAGES IN YOUR EXISTING VETERAN EXEMPTIONS. IT COULD BE ABOUT 250 MILLION OF IMPACT FOR YOUR ROUGHLY 4.2 BILLION YOU KNOW, VALUE. BECAUSE YOU PAY YOUR DEBT OFF VERY QUICKLY, WE DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE WITH THE DISTRICT BEING ABLE TO ISSUE ALL 65 MILLION OF BONDS

060GOING BEFORE VOTERS. IT COULD IMPACT YOUR NEXT ELECTION FOUR YEARS FROM NOW. IF IT IS A SEVERE IMPACT, WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A LOWER AMOUNT IF IT HAS VERY LITTLE IMPACT. WE MAY BE LOOKING AT THE SAME AMOUNT MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. BUT THOSE EXEMPTIONS WILL COME ONTO THE TAX RULES AND BE AVAILABLE TO VETERANS. IN THE 2026 TAX YEAR WHICH IS THE FISCAL YEAR THAT IS FOR DISABLED VETERANS, THE STANDARD VETERAN EXEMPTION WHICH IS A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR TAX BASE IS AVAILABLE TO VETERANS THIS UPCOMING TAX YEAR. OKAY. >> LAST BUT NOT LEAST JUST FROM A TIMING STANDPOINT, WE INITIALLY HAD PUT THIS TOGETHER YOU KNOW ASSUMING A PUBLIC SALE LIKE YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. THIS DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE, THE DIFFERENCES IS THAT

061THIS WOULD BE A DIRECT PURCHASE BY THE STATE TREASURER INTEREST RATE WILL BE SET ON THE SAME DAY WE HAVE HERE IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS IS VERY SIMILAR BUT INSTEAD OF NOTICING THE SALE, AND ALLOWING YOU KNOW FIRMS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO BID ON IT AND IT TAX EXEMPT BASIS, THE STATE TREASURER'S OFFICE. AS USUAL, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF SLIDES ON THE MARKET WHICH WAY WILL NOT COVER. OTHERS THAN TO SAY THE MARKET IS EXPERIENCING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOLATILITY. WITH A LOT OF YOU KNOW, NOISE AROUND TARIFFS. AND ALL OF THAT, IT IS JUST PUTTING A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ON WHERE THE ECONOMY IS GOING, WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE IMPACT ON CONSUMER PRICES. AND YOU KNOW THE MARKET IS JUST REACTING PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE EVERYTHING IS

062GOING. AND SO AGAIN I THINK BEING ABLE TO SELL YOUR DATE VERY SHORTLY AND LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST THAT THE DISTRICT WILL PAY WE CERTAINLY RECOMMEND GOING THAT ROUTE. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SALE PROCESS, THE MARKET OR THE TIMING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU SAID 2 1/2 YEARS TO RETIRE THE DEBT? FOR THIS NEXT BOND? THAT IS QUICK. THAT IS CORRECT. SO BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH IN YOUR TAX BASE, YOU HAVE BEEN GENERATING EXCESS MONEY IN YOUR SERVICE BOND SO WE HAVE YOUR FIRST PAYMENT THIS UPCOMING AUGUST AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE TWO MORE PAYMENTS IN AUGUST 26 AND THEN AUGUST 27. I APPRECIATE THAT NEWS AND THEN I WAS HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE VETERANS DISABILITY AMENDMENTS. TO THE CONSTITUTION BUT I WONDERED WHAT YOU ASK ME

063OR WHAT YOU HAVE SAID MAKES ME WONDER ARE THOSE DISABILITIES TIED TO THEIR TIME OF SERVICE. ARMIDA VETERAN THAT BECOMES DISABLED IN LATER IN LIFE ALSO QUALIFY? SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS REALLY AND I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS BUT IT IS REALLY DEFINED BY THEIR DISABILITY THROUGH VETERANS AFFAIRS. SO YOU COULD CERTAINLY HAVE SOMEBODY WHO IS IN THE MILITARY WHO BECOMES DISABLED WHO WOULD THEN BE LATER ON ELIGIBLE FOR THIS DISABILITY. THE BURN PITS AND THOSE THINGS THAT SHOW UP MUCH LATER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS AS LONG AS THEY ARE DESIGNATED WITH A DISABILITY THROUGH VETERANS AFFAIRS AND AGAIN I DON'T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS. WHETHER IT'S NEWS TODAY OR FROM SOME POINT DOWN THE FUTURE, SO LONG AS THIS LAW IS IN PLACE AND DOES NOT GET YOU KNOW AMENDED IN THE

064FUTURE, THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS DISABILITY. YOU SAID IT MAY AFFECT US IN FOUR YEARS, WILL ME KNOW BEFORE WHEN WE GO BACK FOR A BOND, WILL WE KNOW BEFORE THAT TIME, WHAT THE EFFECT IS? YES, WE EXPECT AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THAT THIS WORKS, AND THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT BY SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. VETERANS WITH THE DISABILITY WILL NEED TO THEN APPLY WHICH WOULD THEN BECOME AFFECT LIVE FOR NEXT YEAR, SO COME JULY OF REALLY COME MAY OF NEXT YEAR IN 2026. WE WILL START RECEIVING PRELIMINARY VALUES AS WELL AS THOSE EXEMPTIONS AND WE WILL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF THE EXEMPTIONS AT THAT TIME TAX RATES WILL GET SET IN SEPTEMBER 2026. AND THOSE VETERAN DISABILITIES EXEMPTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME SO WE WILL

065HAVE A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT INCREASE AND EXEMPTIONS IS GOING TO BE WHEN WE GO TO THE NOVEMBER 2029, WE WOULD BE THERE NEXT ELECTION. THANK YOU SECRETARY , ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. AND YOUR DATA. ALL THE NUMBERS, IT WAS GREAT, THANK YOU. WE ARE MOVING ONTO OLD BUSINESS WHERE WILL WILL DO A THIRD MEETING AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF POLICY BE EDB WHICH IS SO FUN TO SAY, BOARD AGENDA WITH MR. SILVER, THANK YOU MR. SILVER. GOOD AFTERNOON AND THANK YOU PRESIDENT CORT AND MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT RUIZ. THIS BEDB, THIS IS THE THIRD READING OF THE BEDB BOARD AGENDA IT WAS LAST UPDATED IN SEPTEMBER 2015. AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SECOND READING AND THERE WAS NO PUBLIC

066INPUT SO YOUR THIRD READING IS IDENTICAL TO THE SECOND READING THAT WE LOOKED AT. AND PRESIDENT CORT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOARD MEMBERS? THIS COPY LOOKED GREAT SO YES. SO AT THIS POINT I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE POLICY ITEM BEDB. MOVED BY MR. FRANK AND SECONDED BY SECRETARY WOFFORD. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THE AYE'S HAVE IT. 4-0, THANK YOU MR. SILVER. LET'S MOVE TO THE THIRD MEETING A POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF POLICY ECF ENERGY AND WATER CONSERVATION WITH MR. RODRIGUEZ. GOOD EVENING BY THE PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT RUIZ, THIS POLICY PRESENTED TO YOU THE THIRD READING A POLICY CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND RECEIPT SUSTAINABILITY, WITH ANY CHANGES OR REVISIONS FROM THE SECOND READING TO THE BOARD INCLUDING THOSE THAT

067WERE RECENTLY SENT, THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE PACKET BECAUSE THOSE WERE SENT BUT DID GO TO THOSE INTO THE ONES THAT I HAVE. SO ANY OF THE CHANGES THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE IN THEIR WERE MADE FOR MR. FRANKEN AND ALSO MR. WOFFORD AND YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. SO READING TO THERE. MY APOLOGIES. SO, GIVEN THAT THE THREE OF US HAVE SUBMITTED ANYTHING IS THERE ANYTHING THAT SORRY, VICE PRESIDENT NOLAN AND WANTING TO ADD TO POLICY ECF THAT CURRENTLY WERE NOT IN THERE. NOTHING THAT JUMPS TO MIND. ARE WE ABLE TO SEE A COPY WHICH INCORPORATES THOSE REVISIONS SINCE THE THREE OF US HAVE SENT YOU SOMETHING? THIS IS THE THIRD READING. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND SO YOU KNOW, IT IS UP TO THE BOARD IF WE WANT TO WAIT UNTIL MR. RODRIGUEZ CAN SEND US THAT AND

068WE CAN DO A FOURTH READING AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ON THERE BECAUSE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW THINGS I THINK ON THERE THAT NEEDED TO. THERE WAS MORE COMMENTS AND DIFFERENT THINGS BUT I KNOW MR. FRANK HAD OTHER ONES AS FAR AS THAT SO BETWEEN THE THREE OF YOU MAKING THOSE CHANGES AND UPDATES TO IT. WE NEED TO SEE IT I THINK BEFORE WE CAN APPROVE IT. I AGREE. >> IS ON THE PACKET. SEEING THE FINAL PRODUCT. IT WILL ONLY BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WE CAN DO IT. REGULAR SESSION. IN APRIL THIS MONTH. I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. THEY DID CHANGE AND THERE WAS A WORD THAT WAS MISSING. AND IN LETTER D. IN JUST A COUPLE OF SENTENCE THINGS THAT WERE NOT CLEAR. SO CAN SOMEONE TELL ME

069HOW IS THE CLEAN COPY IS NOT THE UPDATED COPY? KNOW IT IS NOT. I AM ASKING HOW IT'S NOT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TO ME. THANK YOU SECRETARY WOFFORD. PERHAPS I DROPPED THE BALL BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY CHANGES BECAUSE OF THE SECOND READING TO WIN THE PACKAGE ONCE AND THAT WAS FRIDAY. I THINK MR. RODRIGUEZ HAD SENT OUT WHAT CHANGES DO YOU HAVE AND SO I LOOKED AT WHAT HE HAD FOR US IN FRIDAY'S PACKAGE. AND THAT'S WHEN I SPOTTED PROBLEMS. SO THE ONES THAT I WOULD HAVE DONE MIGHT'VE BEEN IN THIS PACKAGE. I THINK YOU INVITED US TO TALK WITH DOCTOR TAL THOUGH AND MS. WILLIAMS AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SO DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MS. TENORIO? KNOW BECAUSE I AM LOOKING AT POLICY ECF AND I SEE THIS

070ONE WITH RED AND BLUE PARTS, AND THEN I SCROLL DOWN AND THE NEXT ONE. ECF AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE UPDATED VERSION BECAUSE IT'S VERY SHORT, CONDENSED, PARAGRAPHS OR SENTENCES. AND THEN THERE IS TWO MORE AFTER THAT. ITEM D FOR INSTANCE THEN, THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY BUILDINGS THERE WAS A WORD MISSING AFTER ADAPTABLE. AND SO I SUGGESTED THAT WE STICK A WORD TECHNIQUES OR SOMETHING IN AT THAT POINT. SO IT IS NOT MISSING. AND THEN THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS WHERE LET'S SEE. IN A AND B, THERE WAS CHANGES IN MEANING BASED ON HOW YOU READ IT WITH COMMAS. AND SO, I SUBMITTED THOSE AS WELL. AND E WERE THERE IS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S UNAVAILABLE IT SEEMS TO BE HANGING THERE WITH NO ITEM, I'M NOT SURE WHY WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURES UNAVAILABLE IN THERE. SO IT

071WAS MY BAD TOO BECAUSE I ALSO SUBMITTED TO THE CHANGES AFTER THE PACKET WAS ALREADY DONE. FOR E WHEN NECESSARY MODIFIES INFRASTRUCTURE IT RESTRICTS IT AND SO IT SUGGESTS IT'S A DIFFERENT LEVEL SO IT MAKES NO SENSE AS IT IS WRITTEN. E SHOULD READ THE FLEET TO ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES LOW EMISSION OPTIONS. WHEN NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNAVAILABLE. AND SO IT RENDERS THE SENTENCE MEANINGLESS, DOES THAT ONE MAKE SENSE? I'M SURE THAT YOU CAN PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT ONE MORE TIME. I AGREE. THANK YOU SECRETARY WOFFORD. AND MR. FRANK. MY OBJECTIVE WAS TO JUST SORT OF MAKE IT BRIEFER. WITHOUT LOSING THE POWER OF THIS DOCUMENT. IN MAKING IT JUST MORE CLEAR. AND I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING A LOT OF EYES AND WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT

072IT DIDN'T LOSE THE POWER THAT WE MAINTAINED AND ALSO IT WAS KIND OF THE APPROACH OF THIS DOCUMENT LIKE FOR EXAMPLE I SUGGESTED TAKING OUT THE WORD UPHOLD. IN THE BEGINNING. WHERE SO THAT IT WOULD YOU KNOW, IT WOULD READ LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL AND THEN UNDER EACH OF THE HEADINGS, IT WOULD BE A CONTINUATION OF THAT SENTENCE. AND THEREFORE, FOR EXAMPLE I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T NEED A CAPITAL E. IT WOULD BE LAS CRUCES AND I CHANGED IT TO LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL ENSURE CLIMATE RESILIENCE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THAT SUPPORT STUDENT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. AND JUST STOPPED IT RIGHT THERE. PERIOD. BECAUSE, WE ADDRESSED THE SHADING OF OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACES, I THINK LATER IN THE DOCUMENT AND I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT INDOOR AIR QUALITY SYSTEMS ARE. SO I JUST LEFT IT OUT. SO

073MR. RODRIGUEZ I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN INDOOR AIR QUALITY SYSTEMS. SURE MADAM PRESIDENT, INDOOR AIR QUALITY IS HOW WE LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF AIR AND WHAT OUR GOAL IS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET QUALITY OF AIR THAT GETS SIMILAR TO OUTSIDE AIR OR BETTER. A LOT OF OUR ERAS A LOT BETTER WITH IN OUR BUILDINGS BECAUSE WE DO BRING IN OUTSIDE AIR TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BRINGING IN OUTSIDE AIR TO REDUCE CO2 AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE WITHIN THE AREA THAT WE ARE BREATHING OUT. TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE LEARNED FUNCTION AND NOT GETTING TIRED WITH EXCESSIVE CO2 WITHIN THERE. BUT ALSO THE LEVEL THAT ARE MAKING SURE THAT POLLEN AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE IN THE AIR THAT THEY ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S OUTSIDE. AND

074THE KIDS ARE NOT BEING EXPOSED TO OTHER THINGS. BUT WITH THE FILTERS IT FILTERS OUT A LOT OF THOSE THINGS AS WELL SO AGAIN OUR ERAS A LOT CLEANER THAN WHAT IT IS IN THE OUTSIDE. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO, I THINK IT'S THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD THAT IF YOU WOULD PLEASE DO A CLEAN COPY AND WE CAN ALL JUST GET EYES ON IT AND WHENEVER YOU ARE READY TO SUBMIT THAT TO US, DO IT AND THEN THAT WAY THE MORE TIME WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT THE BETTER BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON A TIME CRUNCH SO WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU MR. RODRIGUEZ WOULD BE GREAT. THE MOST SINCE IT'S AN ACTION ITEM. I MOVE THAT WE POSTPONE THIS FOR A FOURTH READING TO BE AT THE NEXT REGULAR SCHOOL

075BOARD MEETING. SECOND. SECOND AND MOVED BY SECRETARY WOFFORD. ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? >> WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT ON APRIL 22. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. RODRIGUEZ. I BELIEVE YOU ARE STILL HERE FOR THE THIRD READING AND POSSIBLE DELETION OF POLICY ECF A AND RECYCLING. THIS ONE IS ALSO ONE THAT WILL BE ACCOMMODATION SO IT WILL HAVE THE SAME CORRECTIONS AS IN THE OTHER ONE. AS WELL. AS A COMBINATION AND DELETION OF THIS ONE POSSIBLY. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? >> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO THE SAME WITH THIS ONE AS WE DID WITH ECF. I WOULD SECOND THAT. >> ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE. >> ALL OPPOSED? >> OKAY, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT ON APRIL 22 AND THANK

076YOU SO MUCH MR. RODRIGUEZ FOR YOUR TIME. WE WILL MOVE TO THE SECOND READING A POLICY JB. ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND PROTECTIONS FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS WITH DOCTOR LOZANO. THANK YOU DOCTOR LOZANO. AND MR. RODRIGUEZ. MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT, WE COME BEFORE YOU TO BRING TO YOU SECOND READING A POLICY JB ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND PROTECTIONS FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS. POLICY JB IS AN EXISTING POLICY THAT WAS LAST REVIEWED AND REVISED ON APRIL 18, 2017. I PROVIDED YOU A COPY OF THE FIRST READING. FOR YOUR REFERENCE WITHIN REVISIONS AND ALSO A COPY OF SECOND READING WITHIN LINE REVISIONS SO THEY ARE ON THE SCREEN NOW WE HAVE SECOND READINGS SO WE ADOPTED SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU HAD FROM FIRST READING SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE WE COULD GO THROUGH THEM

077JUST SO WE COULD SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE FOR THIRD READING. SO UNDER BACKGROUND, WE CLARIFIED JUST TO BE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE POLICY HOW WE REFERRED TO IMMIGRATION AGENTS. SO RELENTED ON U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT. EYES ARE U.S. BORDER PATROL, BP FOUR, THE ACRONYM. NEXT, TURNING YOUR ATTENTION TO LETTER E. LET'S GO DOWN. THIS ONE WAS WE DID SOME REFINEMENT TO THIS REQUEST JUST FOR FLOW SO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE SHALL PROCESS REQUEST FOR IMMIGRATION LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT TO ACCESS SCHOOL SITE ABSTAIN WITH PROCEDURES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES STAFF SHALL INFORM THE AGENTS THAT ACCESS CANNOT BE GRANTED WITHOUT COMPLETING THE STEPS BELOW ACCEPTING AN EXCHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THERE IS A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND OTHERS. IF YOU RECALL, BOARD MEMBER WOFFORD REQUESTED FOR US TO DEFINE WHEN EXIGENCY

078CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SO THAT IS INCLUDED IN THERE. THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT HE HAD. ALSO, I DID RECEIVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SECOND READING FROM MR. WOFFORD, NUMBER THREE IF YOU LOOK AT NUMBER THREE RIGHT THERE. SO IT HAS SO NUMBER TWO READS REQUEST ADDITIONAL WARRANT AND PHOTOCOPY IT. SUGGESTION FOR MR. WOFFORD WAS TO CLARIFY NUMBER THREE SO, RECOMMENDING TO PUT IF NO JUDICIAL WARRANT IS REQUESTING ACCESS. MAKES NOTES, DENIES ACCESS AND TOOK OUT OF NECESSARY CONTACT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. SO CLARIFICATION FOR THIRD READING YOU WILL SEE THAT IN THERE, INSERTED IN THERE JUST TO CLARIFY. ON NUMBER SIX, AGAIN AT THE REQUEST OF MR. WOFFORD, IS INSTEAD OF WE DID CLARIFY THE SECOND PART OF IT, THE END OF IT AND APPROVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE IS APPROVAL BY THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE SO WE

079WILL CHANGE THE PROOF TO APPROVAL. THAT WAS THE CHANGE TO THE REQUEST. NEXT I WILL DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO AND AGAIN THIS IS A SUGGESTION FROM BOARD MEMBER WOFFORD ON NUMBER 7 AND I APOLOGIZE I THINK THIS WAS BETWEEN LAST TIME TO WAS PUT AND SO POLICY AND A SENSE IT IS THE LAST PHRASE, RIGHT? IF IT'S ALL CONNECTED, SO THE RACE ACTUALLY NUMBER EIGHT BECAUSE NUMBER EIGHT IS ALREADY MENTIONED AND NUMBER ONE SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD CATCH THAT WE DID TALK ABOUT LAST TIME. SO THE AND WOULD BE FOR NUMBER SIX AND IT WOULD BE THE LAST. NUMBER SEVEN WILL BE THE LAST ONE. AND THE NUMBER EIGHT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU DURING FIRST READING WAS TO ERASE NUMBER EIGHT AND EMBED IT WITHIN THE FIRST E, THE PARAGRAPH TO

080BEGIN THIS SECTION, THAT ONE IS EMBEDDED THERE. YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL DR. LOZANO IS DONE? IT WAS BASED ON WHAT THEY WERE DISCUSSING AND TALKING ABOUT SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE IT WAS FINISHING ON NUMBER EIGHT. SO THE AND WOULD GO TO THE NUMBER SEVEN IN BLUE. I HAD JUST OVERHEARD THAT IT WOULD GO TO SIX BUT IT WOULD GO TO SEVEN? IT WOULD JUST BE DIFFERENT. >> YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT, I BELIEVE AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT CATCH, SO NUMBER SIX, THAT WOULD BE AN AND AFTER SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE AND NUMBER SIX AND THEN NUMBER SEVEN WOULD BE THE LAST ONE. OKAY, SO GETTING RID OF THAT ONE. NUMBER EIGHT REPEATS THE SAME INFORMATION AS NUMBER ONE ABOVE WHICH YOU CANNOT SEE. NOT THE ONE AND READ BUT

081THE ONE IN BLUE. THE RED EIGHT IS ALREADY GONE. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> YOU WILL NOT SEE NUMBER EIGHT IN RED SO ANY OF THEM WILL BE IN RED, THIS WAS A SUGGESTION BY MR. WOFFORD THAT I RECEIVED YESTERDAY OR THE DAY BEFORE. TWO DAYS AGO SO IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE PACKET. FOR THE THIRD READING YOU WILL TAKE THAT AWAY. I WILL PUT THE AND AFTER NUMBER SIX. INSTEAD OF NUMBER SEVEN. NOW, LETTER F. AND THIS WAS I KNOW WE HAD A LENGTHY DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS PART, SO WE DID CONSULT WITH ELENA ABOUT WHETHER THIS WAS I FORGOT THAT PHRASE THAT YOU SAID. OR NOT, SO IT IS NOT TERM OF ART SO WE CHANGED IT TO HIM MAKE SENSE. SO THE DISTRICT YES. WAY TOO MANY WORDS. THE DISTRICT PROHIBITS ALL VOLUNTARY SHARING

082OF INFORMATION. IMMIGRATION AGENTS. SO THAT JUST BLOWS A LOT BETTER AND I THINK THAT WAS A SUGGESTION. LETTER G, WE DID THAT SENTENCE AGAIN, I THINK WE DISCUSSED THIS LAST TIME SO THE DISTRICT SHALL NOT ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS WITH ANY AGENCY INCLUDING STATE OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, OTHER ENTITIES UNLESS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THAT WAS IT. AND WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS, FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT POLICY JD? PRESIDENT, I DID WITH NUMBER TWO AND THREE ABOVE THE SUBCATEGORIES. THOUGH NUMBER TWO REQUIRES A JUDICIAL WARRANT. AND THEN I WONDERED IF WE NEEDED , THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER QUESTION WHETHER NUMBER THREE SHOULD READ IF NO JUDICIAL WARRANT OR IF AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT IS PRESENTED, WHETHER CLARIFICATION AND THAT WAY WOULD HELP MAKE US

083KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN THE SITUATION. SO PRESIDENT CORT AND BOARD MEMBER WOFFORD I DID SPEAK WITH DR. LOZANO AND HE DID INDICATE IT WHEN HE WAS GOING THROUGH IT THAT FOR THE NEXT READING THAT THE WORD JUDICIAL WILL BE ADDED TO NUMBER THREE TO CLARIFY AND DISTINGUISH IT FROM ADMINISTRATED SO, MR. WOFFORD YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY. AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD CATCH. TWO SAYS JUDICIAL BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ALSO TO CLARIFY THAT IN THREE AND THAT IS A TURN AND DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANCE, DOES DISTINGUISH IT FROM ADMINISTRATED. I FEAR THIS POLICY WILL HAVE TO BE USED. THANK YOU MR. WOFFORD. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? YES MISS TENORIO? I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WOULD APPLY OR NOT BUT I WAS TOLD RECENTLY THAT THERE IS A PD DIRECTIVE ABOUT COLLECTING INFORMATION

084FROM HOW MANY YEARS A STUDENT HAS BEEN WITH THE DISTRICT AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING? OR THAT HAS HAPPENED? MADAM PRESIDENT, BOARD MEMBER, YES, AND WE ARE NOT DOING THAT SO THE FIRST PART OF THE NUMBER OF YEARS, WE WERE RECEIVING A GRANT THE IMMIGRANT SPECIAL GRANT IT WAS A SUBGRANT OUT OF TITLE III. THAT DID REQUIRE US TO TRACK IMMIGRANT STUDENTS AND WE DID IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. ONE WAS BEING THE NUMBER OF YEARS IN THE U.S. DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THEY ARE NEWCOMERS EITHER BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS ACTUALLY THAT ARE U.S. CITIZENS THAT GO ABROAD, COME BACK. SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE STUDENT BUT WE DID STOP THAT PRACTICE ABOUT A NUMBER OF YEARS, NOW FOR IF

085YOU'RE REFERRING TO LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME, THAT IS A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT. THROUGH TITLE III. WE DO RECEIVE TITLE III FUNDING TO IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE SO THAT'S OUR WAY TO SCREEN IS WE DO WHAT'S CALLED THE LANGUAGE USES FOR THEM. AND WE ASKED PARENTS WHEN THEY REGISTER IF THERE'S ANOTHER LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BASICALLY AND THAT'S HOW WE DETERMINE WHETHER SECONDARY SCREEN NEEDS TO BE MADE FOR US TO IDENTIFY THE THOSE STUDENTS AND INTERVENE BASICALLY. SO WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WITHOUT TITLE III BE MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE AND PRESERVED OR MAINTAINED? MADAM PRESIDENT, BOARD MEMBER TENORIO, THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE IS GOING TO BE PRESERVED, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT IS APPROVED BY THE SENATE, BY THE LEGISLATURE SO AS FAR AS

086I KNOW, IT'S STAYING INTACT BUT WE ARE MONITORING THAT AS WELL. A LOT OF SOME OF THESE FEDERAL PIECES AND GRANTS ARE BEING MOVED TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS, RIGHT? WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUNDING WILL CONTINUE JUST BEING PLACED IN OTHER AREAS. IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. MAKES SENSE, RIGHT. EXACTLY. THANK YOU, I DO HAVE ONE THING UNDER PURPOSE AT THE BEGINNING I AM WONDERING WHY WE HAVE THE WORD THE BEFORE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND WHEN I WAS READING IT BEFORE I DIDN'T CATCH IT BUT I READ IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMS CAN SAFELY ACCESS THE PUBLIC ADJECTIVE, EDUCATION. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MAYBE WE DON'T NEED THE THE. THAT WE COULD JUST SAFELY ACCESS PUBLISHED EDUCATION. IT WILL BE OUT. YES. GOOD CATCH. >> THAT IS GOOD. WILL THANK YOU. I WAS NOT LOOKING

087FOR VALIDATION BUT THANK YOU. THAT'S AWESOME. I WILL TAKE IT. MAKES SENSE THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN. ACTUALLY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIRD READING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WITH THAT, WE ARE STILL STANDING HERE FOR SECOND READING OF KALE G RELATIONS OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE WILL DO THE SAME THING AND GO THROUGH ALL OF THE CHANGES AND JUST KEEPING IN MIND THE CHANGES TO I BELIEVE IT'S NUMBER SIX, ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME AS WHAT WE DID FOR THE ONE THAT POLICY JB SO F WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONES ARE ANY CHANGES WE MADE TO THE OTHER ONE THAT WERE BEFORE THIS ONE WILL BE ALIGNED. WHEN NEEDED AND NECESSARY. SO FOR THE PURPOSE WE HAVE THIS I THINK THIS WAS THE

088SUGGESTION OF THE BOARD DURING FIRST READING. FIRST SENTENCE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHILE RESPECTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS. THAT WAS LIKE IN ADDITION TO THAT. MODIFIED UNDER RESPONSIBILITY, L CPS STAFF HAS THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY AGAIN THAT WAS AT THE REQUEST OF THE BOARD. MADE SOME CHANGES TO B IT WAS JUST AN EXTRA THOUGH THAT WE HAD IN THERE. AND ADD IN A. LETTER C MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS THERE. AGAIN AFTER FIRST READING. THAT WE DISCUSSED DURING THE FIRST READING. LETTER E. I AM SURE THIS IS THE SAME ONE. I THINK THAT WAS THERE. YES. THAT WAS ALL ADDED AND I THINK THAT ALIGNS TO THE FIRST ONE. THE POLICY JB, I APOLOGIZE. THERE WAS A MODIFICATION THERE TO TAKING THE PHYSICAL SAFETY OF STUDENTS INSTEAD OF ITS AND THEN

089LETTER F IS GOING TO MIRROR WHAT WE JUST WENT OVER FOR POLICY JB. SO THIS SHOULD MIRROR EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID FOR POLICY F. POLICY JB. SO WE WILL MAKE SURE TO TAKE OUT NUMBER 8 , WE WILL TAKE OUT NUMBER 8 AS WELL AND THEN PUT THE AND AFTER NUMBER SEVEN. SIX. AND THEN INCLUDE JUDICIAL FOR NUMBER THREE. YES. >> EVERYTHING WE DID FOR POLICY JB WE WILL DO THIS ONE AS WELL. AND WE ARE DOING THE SAME, YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL THE IN PURPOSE. BECAUSE WHEN YOU READ IT, YES. WHEN YOU READ IT, YOU DIDN'T SAY IT SO REGARDLESS OF THE IMMIGRATION STATUS, AND WHEN YOU READ IT YOU SAID REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS AND I THINK WE CAN JUST GET RID OF THAT. I SAW WHEN YOU READ IT. SO AT THE

090VERY BEGINNING. AND UNDER PURPOSE. THE LANGUAGE. DO YOU WANT TO MOVE IT UP TO THE PURPOSE? PLEASE. WHEN IT SAYS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, REGARDLESS OF THE IMMIGRATION STATUS. MAYBE THAT WAS THERE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THERE IMMIGRATION STATUS. I THINK IT'S OKAY. IT MAKES SENSE EITHER WAY. SO BOARD MEMBERS, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT ARE ABOUT POLICY KLG? ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS A GREAT SECOND READING ON BOTH OF THOSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE BUT YOU DO HAVE ONE MORE AND THIS WOULD BE ANOTHER CRAZY POLICY TIME SO THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF POLICY JIH STUDENT SEARCH AND SEIZURE. IF YOU RECALL MADAM PRESIDENT THIS REVISION CITATIONS OR COURT REFERRALS SHOULD BE USED FOR NONVIOLENCE AND BEHAVIOR UNLESS THERE IS A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT

091TO SCHOOL SAFETY THIS ENSURES THAT MAJOR VIOLATIONS REQUIRING LAW ENFORCEMENT INVOLVEMENT ARE NOT MISINTERPRETED TO INCLUDE IMMIGRATION RELATED VIOLATIONS, REINFORCING THE IMMIGRATION STATUS ALONE DOES NOT POSE A SAFETY THREAT. SO I WILL TURN YOUR ATTENTION AND THERE WAS NO CHANGES FROM FIRST READING WE DIDN'T GET ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AS WELL, SO THE ONLY CHANGE REQUESTED IS UNDER LETTER G. AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE SAME AS IT WAS DURING FIRST READING. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS ABOUT POLICY JIH? OKAY. I THINK WE ARE GOOD. AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND ALL YOUR WORK ON THOSE POLICIES. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LOT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. PRESIDENT CORT, CAN YOU REMIND ME OF THIS POLICY? WE JUST APPROVED IT. SOMETIMES I DOUBT MYSELF. NO, WE DID AND IT'S BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO

092ADD WHAT THEY ADDED AT THE END. GOT IT. THANK YOU. YES, I KNOW. DIDN'T WE? ONCE WE PASSED POLICY WE HAVE TO REDO IT ANYWAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SO NOW WE ARE MOVING ONTO NEW BUSINESS. DID WE LOSE MR. LUCERO? THERE YOU ARE, I THOUGHT YOU MOVED SEATS, THAT'S GREAT. NO, I DON'T. YOUR SIGNATURE IS SO PRETTY. REDO THEM ALL. THE POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF RENAMING ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL TRACK. AND MR. SILVER, BECAUSE I LIKE TO SAY IT IN FRENCH, AND MR. LUCERO. MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, GOOD AFTERNOON, I AM HERE TO AND YOU ALREADY DID THAT TO INTRODUCE OUR LEADERSHIP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL , THEY HAVE SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU ABOUT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN TERMS OF RENAMING THE TRACK AT ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU

093MR. SILVER. GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT, WE ARE HERE FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE RENAMING OF THE ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AREA TO DAVID NUNEZ TRACK AT ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL. THE PROCESS OF RENAMING IS OUTLINED IN REGULATION OF FFA WHICH MR. LUCERO HAS ADHERED TO. FOLLOWING THE REGULATIONS GUIDELINES, MR. LUCERO INSURED COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT BY INFORMING STUDENTS, PARENTS AND STAFF ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO RENAME THE SCHOOL TRACK. COMMUNICATION WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH THE ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL SAC MEETING AS WELL IS COMMUNICATIVE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILY. MR. LUCERO HAS FULLY COMPLIED WITH DISTRICT PROCEDURES ENSURING A TRANSPARENT AND COMMUNITY DRIVEN NAMING PROCESS. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MR. LUCERO AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT MR. NUNEZ, THIS DISTINGUISHED LCPS EDUCATOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT

094AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT, THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW COACH NUNEZ, THERE IS NOT MUCH MORE I CAN SAY IF YOU ALREADY KNOW HIM, HE HAS BEEN A MEMBER AT ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL SINCE 1990 INCLUDING HIS YEAR PRIOR TO THAT, STUDENT TEACHING SO HE WAS ACTUALLY THERE BEFORE THE NEW BUILDING THAT WE ARE IN, HE WAS AT THE OLD SIERRA MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING AT THE TIME. THERE IS OFTEN TIMES THAT IN THE BUILDING AND COACH NUNEZ WOULD SHOW ME A BREAK IN THE NEW BUILDING NEAR J HALL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PLACE BEFORE THE BUILDING WAS ACTUALLY BUILT. SO, OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN AT ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL FOR 10 YEARS. AND I USED TO OVERSEE THE SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON COACH NUNEZ, HE HAS

095BEEN IN THE SAME CLASSROOM FOR 35 YEARS. HE HAS BEEN OUR DEPARTMENT HEAD OF THE SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT FOR 12 YEARS. HE WAS NAMED TEACHER OF THE YEAR FOR LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN 2019 AND I WAS PRESENT THAT DAY. I WAS GOING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND FOUND A VIDEO LINK THAT I WAS RECORDING AND TO SEE HIS FATHER WHO WAS AGING BE ABLE TO BE THERE AND BE SO PROUD OF HIS SON, AND MR. NUNEZ, HIS SON IS TEACHER IN THE DISTRICT AT SONOMA , DOING GREAT THINGS, THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS BECAUSE COACH NUNEZ IS A COACH BUT HE IS MORE THAN JUST A COACH. HE IS A MENTOR TO ALL OF US IN THE BUILDING. I KNOW OVER MY 10 YEARS AS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND NOW HAD PRINCIPLE, WHEN I

096REACH THAT POINT WHERE I NEED SOME GUIDANCE OR FEEDBACK. I GO TO J TO 14 TO SEE COACH NUNEZ AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME, SO HE IS AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL, I TELL HIM ALL THE TIME I WISH I HAD 30 MORE OF YOU. IN THE BUILDING, HE IS THAT KIND OF PERSON. AND HE HAS SEVERAL ACCOLADES OVER THE YEARS OF COACHING TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY. SENT MANY STUDENTS OFF TO DIVISION I AND POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION. IN THE WORLD OF TRACK AND FIELD, AND I CAN THINK OF SOMEONE RIGHT NOW WHO IS AT DUKE UNIVERSITY WHO JAVELIN RECORDS THE LAST , SHE DID IT AT DUKE AND WE HAVE TWO THAT ARE SIGNING LETTERS OF INTENT FOR NEXT YEAR. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES THAT I WOULD PROBABLY ESTIMATE PROBABLY TWICE A MONTH

097HE SENDS ME EMAILS OR HANDWRITTEN LETTERS THAT HE RECEIVES FROM FORMER STUDENTS THAT HAVE COME BACK. AND REMINDING HIM AND THANKED HIM FOR MAYBE NOT THANKING HIM AT THE TIME BUT YOU KNOW GOING BACK AND SAYING THANK YOU FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. IN THEIR CAREERS NOW. BOTH IN TEACHING AND ATHLETICS AND SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT AND SAY THAT HIS LEGACY IS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL. INCLUDING OUR PARENTS, STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS. AND HAVING HIM HAVE THIS RECOGNITION FOR MANY GENERATIONS TO COME I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY EXCITING FOR US AND I HOPE YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE ONE MORE QUICK STORY IN 35 YEARS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE TEACHERS CAN APPRECIATE THIS. IN 35 YEARS,

098AT THE END OF EVERY SCHOOL YEAR, HE TEARS UP HIS LESSON PLANS AND STARTS OVER AND IT'S ALWAYS BECAUSE OF THE STUDENTS THAT HE WILL MENTION ALL THE TIME OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THE BEST. AND SO THAT'S THE KIND OF PERSON WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE THAT WOULD BE MORE DESERVING OF THIS HONOR THAN TO HAVE THE TRACK NAMED AFTER YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH PRINCIPAL LUCERO, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND SPEAKING OF AGING, I TALKED WITH HIS DAD. BUT, HIS DAD IS AMAZING. HE WAS A STAPLE AT ALL THE TRACK MEETS AND CROSS-COUNTRY MEETS. GREAT MAN. AND HE RAISED A GOOD SON. FOR SURE. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS? ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? OBLIGATED RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER ALSO RUNS CROSS-COUNTRY AT CENTENNIAL BUT HE IS REALLY AN EXCELLENT

099COACH AND I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE TEACHING. I ASSUMED HE COACH OR TALK RATHER. BUT HE IS A REALLY GOOD LEADER OUT THERE. SO I THINK WELL DESERVING OF THIS AWARD. WHEN HE IS RUNNING BY BUT I APPRECIATE THAT, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO PUSH THESE KIDS. SO YES, WELL DESERVED. OVER THE YEARS, HE IS WORKING WITH SEVERAL MAYFIELD STUDENTS OVER THE YEARS. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT ORGAN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL RUNNERS BUT THEY HAVE FOUND ONE OF THE MOST ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS SO HE IS REALLY A STAPLE IN THE COMMUNITY NOT JUST IN OUR ORGAN MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY. ABSOLUTELY. LET ME ECHO THE VICE PRESIDENT'S WORDS, THANK YOU MR. LUCERO, THIS IS A WELL-DESERVED HONOR. YES. MISS TENORIO? I FEEL A LITTLE CONFLICTED IN NOT THE SENSE THAT THIS IS NOT DESERVING BUT I KNOW THAT

100THERE'S A POLICY AND THE REGULATION ATTACHED TO IT. SO PROBABLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND IF ANYBODY HAS LOOKED AT IT, IT'S POLICY FFA AND FF ARE AND THE REASON I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN I SUBMITTED CONSIDERATION FOR RENAMING THE CENTRAL OFFICE BUILDING THERE WAS, I COULD NOT BE A PART OF THAT AND THEY HAD TO FOLLOW THIS WHOLE REGULATION SO, I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY IS FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THERE IS BUT IT'S, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE CAN LIKE EASILY DO THAT. LOOK TO ME LIKE THERE HAS TO ASSIGN A COMMITTEE OF SOME TYPE. AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND I AM SURE HIS NAME WOULD BE THE ONE AT THE TOP OF THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE TRACK FACILITY. I THINK WE HAVE

101TO LOOK AT THOSE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS. MR. SILVER, YES. SO I APOLOGIZE IF WE DIDN'T EXPLAIN, AT THIS POINT, HAVING GONE THROUGH THE FAA REGULATION. AND SO PART OF THAT PACKET ALSO INCLUDED SORT OF ATTENDANCE AND THE MINUTES FROM HIS COMMITTEE MEETING THAT HE HAD. AND THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS SEEN THAT. DINKY. WE HAD TWO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY PARENTS, TWO STUDENTS AND TWO STAFF MEMBERS THAT WERE ALSO PRESENT , PRESENT AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING, I WAS A NONVOTING MEMBER, I JUST KIND OF LED THE MEETING. AND IT WAS UNANIMOUS, YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US IN LINE. THERE'S ALWAYS PEOPLE OUT THERE LOOKING. SO EXACTLY. AT THIS MOMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RENAMING OF ORGAN MOUNTAIN MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL TO THE DAVID NUNEZ TRACK. MOVED BY

102MR. FRANK AND SECONDED BY MR. NOLAN, ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. UNANIMOUS, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ALL THE POLICIES I'M SURE YOU ARE FASCINATED BY IT. THANK YOU FOR STAYING. SO MR. SILVER. IS GOING TO TALK TO US ABOUT NOMINATING A LCPS SENIOR FOR SCHOLARSHIP CONSIDERATION BY THE NMSBA. NMSBA DOES AN ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AND THIS INFORMATION THAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW WENT OUT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO DISTRIBUTE TWO 2025 GRADUATING SENIORS. THAT APPLICATIONS THAT WERE RETURNED TO US, YOU ALL REVIEWED IN CLOSED SESSION. AND SO I STAND IF YOU HAVE ALL ANY QUESTIONS, OTHERWISE I THINK THE REQUEST IS TO CONSIDER A VOTE FOR RECOMMENDING OUR SCHOLARSHIP CANDIDATE TO THE NMSBA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. ABSOLUTELY. DO I HAVE ANY DISCUSSION

103BY THE BOARD BEFORE I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE TESS OLSON AS THE LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS GRADUATING SENIOR FOR SCHOLARSHIP CONSIDERATION BY THE NMSBA SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR THE NMSBA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. SO MOVED. SECOND. >> MOVED BY MR. FRANK AND SECONDED BY MR. WOFFORD. IF YOU WOULD ALL , ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. ALL OPPOSED? IT IS UNANIMOUS, THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS TO MISS TESS OLSON. THANK YOU MRS. PRESIDENT. WHERE WERE YOU? I DON'T KNOW. >> ALL RIGHT. DON'T WORRY TESS. WE ARE GOOD. ALL OF US. NOW WITH DR. LOZANO AND IT LOOKS LIKE MS. O'BRIEN, WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS AND POSSIBLY TERMINATED THE 2018 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH BEN ARCHER HEALTH CENTER. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT, I WORKED

104WITH MS. O'BRIEN ON WITH OUR PARTNERS FOR THE SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS AND WE COME BEFORE YOU TO SEEK A TERMINATION OF A 2018 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH BEN ARCHER SO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS SEEKING APPROVAL TO TERMINATE WHICH PROVIDES HEALTH SERVICES TO STUDENTS AT LAS CRUCES HIGH SCHOOL, MAYFIELD HIGH SCHOOL, ORGANIZING HIGH SCHOOL AND ARROWHEAD PARK , REQUIRING MINIMUM OF 60 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE BEFORE TERMINATION. THE TERMINATION IS BEING PURSUED TO EXPAND AN EXISTING PARTNERSHIP WITH ANOTHER CLINIC WHICH WILL ENHANCE ACCESS TO SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS, DISTRICTWIDE, SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE CURRENT MO YOU WITH BEN ARCHER HEALTH CENTER AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MAY 29, 2025. WITH ALL CLINIC OPERATIONS VACATING LCPS BUILDINGS BY JUNE 6, 2025. APPROVAL OF THIS ACTION WILL ALLOW LCPS TO PROCEED WITH ESTABLISHING A NEW DISTRICTWIDE HEALTH SERVICE PARTNERSHIP TO BETTER

105MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. WITH THAT, WE STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU DR. LOZANO, BOARD MEMBERS. SO I KNOW MAYFIELD IS OFF, THAT IS JUST THEIR BUILDING AND THAT IS THEIR HEALTH CENTER BUT LAS CRUCES, ORGAN MOUNTAIN AND ARROWHEAD ARE OPERATING OUT OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS. BOARD MEMBER, VICE PRESIDENT, THAT IS CORRECT. ALSO WANTING TO ADD IF THIS IS APPROVED THEY WILL ALSO BE INFORMING THEM IN WRITING. OF THE DECISION. THANK YOU. >> WHAT ARE WE DOING, MAYFIELD THEN? THEN WE JUST BRING THAT, WE HAVE THAT SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER . OKAY. >> THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT WILL THERE BE ANY GAP IN SERVICES? BY THE TERMINATION OF THIS? MADAM PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBER FRANK, SO IF YOU APPROVE THE TERMINATION, WE DO HAVE A SECOND MOU WITH ANOTHER CLINIC AND WE

106ARE ASKING FOR TERMINATION AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. SO THAT WAY WE DO NOT HAVE ANY GAP IN SERVICES. OKAY, THANK YOU. SUPERINTENDENT I KNOW YOU HAVE WORKED WITH THEM, WHERE THEY INVITED TO PARTICIPATE TONIGHT? MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBER OR SECRETARY WOFFORD, WE DID REACH OUT TO THEM TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION JUST TO GIVE THEM A HEADS UP, TO THIS POINT, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALLBACK OR ANY COMMUNICATION BACK FROM AN ARCHER AT THIS POINT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, BOARD? I WILL SAY SOMETHING. I THINK ALL IN ALL, BEN ARCHER HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY. FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AND I THINK IT IS THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND JUST THE OVERALL CHANGE AND KIND OF THREATENING AND DENYING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES OF PEOPLE OF IMMIGRANT STATUS

107THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IMMIGRANT STATUS IS EVEN ALLOWED ANYMORE. ALMOST ANYBODY IS GETTING PICKED UP AND BEING TAKEN TO EL SALVADOR SO IT IS , IT JUST SEEMS VERY UNSAFE AS A PLACE AND I THINK BEN ARCHER IS FEELING THAT THREAT AND IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SO, THIS IS FOR ME, NOT A HAPPY ENDING. TO TERMINATING THIS MOU AND HOPEFULLY WHEN THINGS GET BETTER, WE CAN COME TO BETTER TERMS. THANK YOU MISS TENORIO. ALL RIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE TERMINATION OF THE 2018 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH BEN ARCHER HEALTH CENTER. SO MOVED. MOVED BY MISS TENORIO. AND SECONDED BY MR. FRANK. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR ARE YOU READY? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE. >> ALL

108OPPOSED? THAT PASSES 5-0 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU WILL CONTINUE STAYING UP HERE AS WE TALK ABOUT A POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF A MOU WITH LA CLINICA DE FAMILIA. THAT IS CORRECT, SO WE ARE SEEKING APPROVAL OF A RENEWED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO EXPAND THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LA CLINICA DE FAMILIA AND LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS, THE MOU ADDS ALL HIGH SCHOOLS TO THE EXISTING NETWORK OF SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS PROVIDING PRIMARY CARE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, THE AGREEMENT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS NEARLY UNLESS , NEARLY UNLESS ANYONE REQUIRES NOTICE. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE STUDENTS BASED HEALTH CENTER FOLLOWING STATE AND FEDERAL PRIVACY LAWS. THANK YOU, ALL HIGH SCHOOLS DOES THAT INCLUDE RIO GRANDE PREPARATORY? YES. >> THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN THAT BUILDING RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

109BOARD MEMBERS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? OKAY, THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH LA CLINICA DE FAMILIA. SO MOVED. MOVED BY MISS TENORIO AND SECONDED BY MR. NOLAN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. ALL OPPOSED? I SAID AYE. IT'S OKAY. >> I JUST SAID IT. I THINK WE GOT EVERYONE, 5-0, THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING ON TO OTHER REPORTS. OH, LET'S GO TO TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH WITH DR. WENDY MILLER TOMLINSON. SHE HAS TWO COOL THINGS TO TALK TO US ABOUT. HOW IS YOUR WRIST? IT'S NOT GREAT. BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT CORT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE. I CURRENTLY AM THE

110SCIENCE DIRECTOR OF THE SCIENCE CENTER. AND I AM GOING TO BE PRESENTING ABOUT OUR. SO IN THE SUMMER OF 2024, EDUCATORS JOINED OTHER EDUCATORS ACROSS THE STATE WHO ARE LEVEL TWO, LEVEL THREE AND LICENSED AND ENDORSED. AND REVIEWED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR SCIENCE. THEY PARTICIPATE IN THIS RIGOROUS STATE LEVEL REVIEW. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW WERE RELEASED IN THE FALL OF 2024. AND AT THIS TIME, WE CAME TOGETHER IN OCTOBER AND PUT TOGETHER A GROUP OF K12 EDUCATORS WHO LOOKED AT THIS REVIEW LIST. OF COURSE THAT THEY CURRENTLY TEACH. SO PHYSICS TEACHERS REVIEWED MATERIALS. AND THEY WERE ABLE TO NARROW DOWN FROM THIS LIST THAT WAS PROVIDED. AND SELECT TWO TO THREE RESOURCES THAT WOULD GO FORWARD TO THEIR COLLEAGUES AT THEIR SCHOOL SITES. THAT TEAM ALSO LOOKED AT ENSURING SPANISH LANGUAGE EQUITABILITY. WE'RE NOW TO

111JANUARY 2025, WE PUT TOGETHER WHAT'S CALLED A TSC TEAM WHICH IS A TEXTBOOK SELECTION COMMITTEE. THIS COMMITTEE IS MADE UP OF MEMBERS FROM EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL. ONE REPRESENTATIVE PER SCHOOL. AND PUBLISHERS CAME IN WITH SAMPLES, DID PRESENTATIONS. AND THEN SAMPLES WERE ORDERED AND SENT TO EACH SCHOOL SITE. AND FROM THERE, THE TSC COMMITTEE REALLY PLAYED A REALLY PIVOTAL ROLE IN WHICH THEY HELPED FACILITATE THE REVIEW PROCESS AT THEIR SCHOOL SITE. THEY HELPED THEIR TEACHERS COMPLETE THEIR RUBRIC. USING THE RESOURCES, TEACHING FROM THE RESOURCES THAT THAT LEAVES US WITH THE OPTIONS. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL THE TEAMS NARROWED IT DOWN TO TWO OPTIONS. WHICH IS THE CURRENT RESOURCE AND THEN TWIG SCIENCE. 6-8 WAS AMPLIFIED SCIENCE. OPEN SCIEAD AND I PUT OPEN CIAD BECAUSE IT'S AN OPEN MATERIAL. SO MORE THAN ONE PUBLISHER LOOKED FORWARD AND

112ACTIVATE LEARNING WAS THE ONE SELECTED BY WE REALLY LOOK AT THEM BY COURSE, AS I MENTIONED, SO FOR OUR BIOLOGY COURSE [ INAUDIBLE ], AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO SAVITZ TRAVIS IN MY HEAD SO I SAY IT RIGHT, AND THEN H AND H DIMENSIONS. FOR CHEMISTRY IT WAS BY OZONE AND SADNESS AND FOR PHYSICS BY OZONE AND SAVITZ. THOSE WERE THE MATERIALS THAT ARE SET TO REVIEW AT THE SCHOOL SITES. THE SCHOOL SAID FROM JANUARY UNTIL MARCH TO REVIEW THE MATERIALS SO THEY HAD A GOOD TIME TO REALLY DIG IN AND NOT WORRY THROUGH THE RUBRIC PROCESS. THESE ARE JUST -- THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE RUBRICS COMPLETED, SO YOU CAN SEE MIDDLE SCHOOL, VERY, VERY INVESTED, VERY HIGH PARTICIPATION. HIGH SCHOOL ALSO HAD HIGH PARTICIPATION AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

113IS ABOUT WHERE WE WOULD EXPECT. THERE ARE A FEW TEACHERS WHO WOULD EMAIL ME SPECIFICALLY AND SAY I'M NOT FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH SCIENCE SO I DIDN'T REVIEW MY COLLEAGUES DID AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT. SO THERE WERE SOME TEACHERS WHO [ INAUDIBLE ], SPEAK WITH MY COLLEAGUES, SO THAT WAS SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HAPPENED AT THE SCHOOL SITE. SO HERE ARE THE RESULTS. SO YOU CAN SEE, OVERWHELMINGLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHOSE TWIGG MOVING FORWARD FOR THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE K-FIVE POINT AND THEN MIDDLE SCHOOL ALSO, THE TEACHERS SELECTED TWIGG AS THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE. AND THEN FOR HIGH SCHOOL I'M GOING BY COURSE, SO THIS IS BIOLOGY AND WE CALL IT BIOLOGY OF THE LIVING EARTH. TIGHT RACE HERE WHICH MEANS TO US THAT WE HAD SOME GOOD OPTIONS

114AND RESOURCES AND THAT TEACHERS REALLY WERE --IN THE END THEY WERE LIKE THEY ALL DID WHAT WE NEEDED THEM TO DO, WHICH IS A GOOD PLACE TO BE, THAT WE HAD SOME OPTIONS. BUT IT DID IN THE END LITERALLY WAS THE SERVICE, WHICH IS ALSO TRUE FOR CHEMISTRY. SEE THEIR. AND THEN FOR PHYSICS ALSO. SO IN THE END WE'LL BE GOING WITH T.W.I.G. AND SAVITZ FOR OUR K-12 SCIENCE ADOPTION. I DID WANT TO REITERATE TO BE BORED THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL STORY LINES THAT WE'VE ALREADY CREATED. SO THESE TEXTBOOKS ARE USED AS SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES, THAT THE STUDENTS ARE NOT TO GO INTO A SCIENCE CLASS AND JUST USE A BOOK EVERY DAY. THEY ARE JUST SUPPLEMENTAL TO HELP WITH OUR CURRICULUM. THERE IS A LOT OF HARD WORK THAT'S

115ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO THOSE AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE. AND I ALSO WANTED TO JUST THINK THE STAFF AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TSC TEAM. WE DID HAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO CAME AND REVIEWED MATERIALS AND SUBMITTED THEIR FEEDBACK, AND ALSO I DID WANT TO THANK MICHELLE ESTRADA, WHO IS OUR ELEMENTARY CONTENT SPECIALIST AND TAYLOR DRAKE, WHO IS SECONDARY, BECAUSE THEY REALLY HELPED SCHOOLS FACILITATE THIS PROCESS AND CAME IN WHENEVER TEACHERS HAD QUESTIONS, AND THEY JUST WERE BOOTS ON THE GROUND DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS. AND WITH THAT I SEND FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. BOARD MEMBERS? I HAVE QUESTIONS BUT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SAV V AND THE BE IOC? SORRY, THAT'S JUST THE SHORTENED VERSIONS OF THESE NAMES RIGHT HERE. SO SAVVAS IS JUST THE COMPANY AND THEN BY OZONE WAS ANOTHER TEXT

116COMPANY. I MEAN ARE THEY TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE SAME SUBJECT? THEY'RE BOTH RESOURCES FOR BIOLOGY, LIKE IN THIS INSTANCE BIOZONE LIVING EARTH, THAT'S A BIOLOGY RESOURCE, THIS IS A BIOLOGY RESOURCE. SO THEY ARE BOTH OR ALL OF THOSE OPTIONS FOR BIOLOGY HIT THE STANDARDS IN GSS, MADE IT THROUGH THE RUBRIC PROCESS AT THE STATE LEVEL SO TEACHERS WERE REALLY JUST DECIDING ON WHICH ONE THEY FELT BEST SUPPORTED THEIR STUDENTS. OKAY. SO LIKE EVERY STUDENT WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH OF THOSE SOURCES, IS THAT CORRECT? NO. THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO SAVVAS BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE THE TEACHER SELECTED IN THE END. OKAY, THE TEACHER WOULD SELECT THE ONE THAT THEY THINK IS JUST APPROPRIATE FOR THAT PARTICULAR CLASS? YES. SO IN THE END, WHAT WE DO IS WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.

117SO IF MOST TEACHERS, LIKE IN THIS CASE MOST TEACHERS PICKED T.W.I.G. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO T.W.I.G. AS A DISTRICT. SAME THING, T.W.I.G. FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEN HIGH SCHOOL WE'RE GOING SAVVAS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF TEACHERS SELECTED . SO MOST TEACHERS PICKED SAVVAS FOR CHEMISTRY, SO WE'RE GOING WITH SAVVAS FOR CHEMISTRY. OKAY, I'M JUST WONDERING ABOUT IT. WHAT ABOUT EARTH SCIENCE? DOES THAT FIT INTO ANY OF THIS? THAT'S WHY WE NAMED OUR COURSES THE WAY WE NAMED THEM. YOU SEE IT BIOLOGY OF THE LIVING EARTH SO WE HAVE EARTH STANDARDS IN OUR BIOLOGY COURSE AND THEN CHEMISTRY OF EARTH SYSTEMS, MORE EARTH STANDARDS IN OUR CHEMISTRY COURSE AND THEN PHYSICS OF THE UNIVERSE COVER OUR SPACE BECAUSE IN NEW MEXICO WE ONLY HAVE A THREE COURSE SEQUENCE INSTEAD OF FOUR, SO

118WE NEEDED TO DO SOME EARTH AND SPACE COURSES THAT WAY. THERE'S THREE COURSES BUT THERE'S FOUR YEARS, SO WHAT HAPPENS? IS THERE ONE YEAR WHERE THEY DON'T TAKE SCIENCE? IN YEAR FOUR THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS. LUCKILY IN LCPS WE HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS. STUDENTS CAN TAKE AP COURSES. THEY CAN TAKE SCIENCE ELECTIVES. WE HAVE A MYRIAD OF SCIENCE ELECTIVES SO SOME STUDENTS TO ELECT TO TAKE ANOTHER SCIENCE. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MR. FRANK. ANYONE ELSE? I REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM SINCE I LEFT AND YES, I'M A MOM BUT I'M NOT THERE DURING THE DAY TO SEE HOW THEY USED TEXTBOOKS OTHER THAN MAYBE MY FIFTH-GRADER BRINGS HOME THE MATH BOOK I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT HOW WE USED TEXTBOOKS NOWADAYS. DO WE ORDER THERE IN THE CLASSROOM ON

119A BOOKSHELF. THESE KIDS DON'T HAVE LOCKERS OR THEY CARRY THEM IN THEIR BACKPACKS, ARE THEY PAPERBACK OR ARE THEY HARDCOVER? BOARD MEMBER TENORIO, IN THE CASE OF THIS ADOPTION, THE STUDENTS AT THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVELS WOULD NOT RECEIVE A TEXTBOOK PER SE WITH THE SHIFT OF A NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE CENTER, HOW WE APPROACH SCIENCE INSTRUCTION SO IT'S REALLY A BOOK ABOUT QUESTIONS AND SORT OF THE HANDS ON AND HOW THOSE COMBINED WITH THINKING ABOUT SCIENCE AND DIFFERENT PHENOMENA AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IN THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL, TEACHERS WILL RECEIVE THIS. THEY RECEIVE AN ONLINE PLATFORM THAT HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING THEY WOULD NEED SO THEY CAN USE THAT IN A MYRIAD OF WAYS. THEY ALSO RECEIVE THE HANDS ON MATERIALS THAT COME WITH IT. SO IF THERE'S A UNIT AND THEY NEED TO

120DO XYZ EXPERIMENT, THEY'LL HAVE THOSE MATERIALS. AND THEN THE STUDENTS GET LAB BOOKS. THEY'RE REALLY NOT LIKE A TEXTBOOK. IT'S MORE OF A SMALL WORKBOOK WHERE THEY CAN MOVE THROUGH THE INVESTIGATIONS. AND I HAVE ALL OF THESE IN MY OFFICE ALONG WITH LOTS OF OTHER THINGS THAT YOU CAN COME IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IT'S VERY SIMILAR IN THAT THERE IS A BOOK THAT HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS WERE JUST REQUESTING MORE OF A CLASS SET TO KEEP IN THEIR ROOM, AS NEEDED, TO SUPPLEMENT. THERE IS ALSO AN ONLINE PLATFORM SO IF SOMEONE IS ABSENT THERE IS A WAY TO ASSIGN AND UTILIZE THAT BUT WE ARE REALLY NOT EXPECTING STUDENTS TO CARRY THEM AROUND AND IT'S NOT LIKE USED THE BOOK. WE TEACH OUR STANDARDS AND THE BOOK HELPS US

121TO DO THAT WHEN WE NEED TO UTILIZE IT. THAT HELPS ME SO MUCH, BECAUSE I HAD A FEELING THINGS WEREN'T HOW IT USED TO BE AND I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO THANK YOU. AWESOME, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? JUST A QUICK COMMENT. ALL OF THESE ARE NEW OPTIONS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE LAST YEAR? WE ARE CHANGING OUR SCIENCE INSTRUCTION, ALMOST. WHICH YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO OPINION ON HIM UNNECESSARILY, I'M JUST CURIOUS. VICE PRESIDENT MILTON, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WE CURRENTLY, FOR SIX YEARS OR SIX YEARS ADOPTION WE DID USE S.T.E.M. SCOPES, AND WE ARE SHIFTING TO T.W.I.G. NEXT YEAR, SO WE'LL BE DOING A NEW ROLLOUT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. HOWEVER, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT BECAUSE BOTH OPTIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR, SO IT'S NOT LIKE

122A SHIFT IN PEDAGOGY, REALLY, IT'S MORE OF JUST USING A DIFFERENT RESOURCE BUT THE STANDARDS ARE THE SAME. SO IT'S NOT A HUGE SHIFT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. WE HAD AMPLIFY BEFORE AND ALL THREE OF THESE OPTIONS HAVE SIMILAR WAYS THAT THEY GO THROUGH THE INSTRUCTION. SO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE ABOUT LEARNING A NEW PLATFORM AND RETHINKING ABOUT HOW OUR TIMING AND SEQUENCING GOES, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SHIFT IN HOW WE INSTRUCT SCIENCE. AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST TIME PURCHASING BOOKS IN SIX YEARS. THE LAST ADOPTION WAS SO NEW, STANDARDS HAD JUST BEEN ADOPTION, AND THE ADOPTION HAPPENED, THAT THERE WEREN'T RESOURCES QUITE AVAILABLE YET. THEY TEND TO DO HIGH SCHOOL. PUBLISHERS TEND TO GET THAT DONE LAST. THANK YOU. TOO BAD WE ARE

123NOT CARRYING 40 POUNDS OF TEXTBOOKS. THOSE WERE THE DAYS. GOOD OLD EARTH SCIENCE THAT WAS 30 YEARS OLD, PROBABLY, WHEN I HAD IT. I STILL THINK LOCKERS WOULD BE A GOOD THING. SORRY, ONE MORE QUICK QUESTION. OF COURSE. >> IF YOU'RE A SCIENCE TEACHER, YOU'RE REALLY JUST LOOKING, OKAY, WHAT CURRICULUM DO I THINK IS GOING TO MOST ENGAGE MY STUDENTS? IS THAT REALLY THE ONLY PARAMETER YOU ARE SORT OF LOOKING AT AS YOU ARE JUDGING THESE PRODUCTS, I GUESS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD? VICE PRESIDENT NOLAND, SO WE CREATED A RUBRIC THAT THE TEACHERS UTILIZED, SO THE TMR TEAM, THAT VERY FIRST TEAM WE TALKED ABOUT, THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME DECIDING ON WHAT THEMES WERE IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE IN AN INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS

124THEY ARE LOOKING AT, LIKE IS IT VERY ALIGNED TO YOUR STANDARDS, DOES IT HAVE EASY ACCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS, BECAUSE THERE'S AN ONLINE OPPONENT. ARE THE SPANISH RESOURCES EQUITABLE TO THE ENGLISH? SO THERE WAS QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT POINTS. THEY WERE LOOKING AT IT VERY HOLISTICALLY BUT DEFINITELY THINKING ABOUT ENGAGEMENT IS PART OF THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, AND I APPRECIATE YOU HAD ALL THE SCIENCE MATERIALS SIT UP. IT'S BEEN A BIT WHERE WE CAN GO LOOK AT THEM AND I'M NOT A SCIENCE TEACHER BUT I WAS LIKE, THIS LOOKS COOL, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU DO THAT AND GIVE THE BOARD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO CHECK THEM OUT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. DR. MILLER TOMLINSON, LET'S TALK POLICY, AS IF WE

125HAVEN'T ENOUGH ALREADY. PRESIDENT COURT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, LET'S REVISIT OUR FAVORITE THEMED POLICY REVIEW CALENDAR AND SEE HOW WE CAN FIX IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE THIS TIME. SO THESE, JUST TO REVIEW A LITTLE BIT, THESE ARE THE REVISIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS, SO WE SAW [ INAUDIBLE ] YOU ALL APPROVED THIS EVENING AND THEN ECF AND ECF THEY WILL COME BACK FOR A FOURTH READING. SO YOU SEE THE NEXT THREE ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN --OR THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS. WE HAVE THE SECOND READING OF THOSE THIS EVENING. SO THOSE ARE ALL KIND OF IN PROGRESS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FIRST ONE THAT IS NOW APPROVED. THESE ARE THE OTHER POLICIES THAT, BACK IN AUGUST WHEN WE INITIALLY SET THE POLICY REVIEW CALENDAR, WERE SCHEDULED FOR REVISION. WE REVISITED THAT

126IN JANUARY AT YOUR RETREAT AND MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, AND THEN LIFE HAPPENS AND SOME THINGS GOT BUMPED, AND SOME THINGS GOT MOVED AROUND. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST FOUR POLICIES HERE, THOSE WERE ALL SCHEDULED FOR 1st READING ON MARCH 4th. HOWEVER, THEY WERE BUMPED FOR OTHER MORE URGENT POLICIES , IMMIGRATION, SEARCH AND SEIZURE, AND SO FORTH. AND THEN YOU SEE THE NEXT FOUR POLICIES ON THIS LIST WERE SCHEDULED FOR REVISION, [ INAUDIBLE ] WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE MAY 20th MEETING, AND THEN WE HAVE THREE POLICIES THAT WERE SCHEDULED FOR 1st READING ON JUNE 3rd. THERE ARE A FEW MORE POLICIES THAT AREN'T ON THIS LIST, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WE HAVE LTD AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER AGENCIES. THAT WOULD BE YOUR MO YOU POLICY, ALL KINDS OF AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER AGENCIES INCLUDING MO US, GCC

127BA IS GUIDANCE SUBPOENAS FOR EMPLOYEES, WHEN AN EMPLOYEE, A DISTRICT EMPLOYEE RECEIVES A SUBPOENA, WHAT HAPPENS. SO IT'S GUIDANCE FOR THAT. AND THEN ANOTHER UPDATE THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IS BA BOARD GOALS, BECAUSE OUR CURRENT BA IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN. SO UPDATING THAT WOULD BE A PRIORITY, AS WELL. SO WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS AND I'M JUST GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH THESE POLICIES, IF THERE ARE ANY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP FOR THIS CYCLE. I'M THINKING OF THE CYCLE THROUGH JULY. YOU KNOW WE TYPICALLY GO THROUGH JULY AND THEN START AGAIN IN AUGUST. SO WHICH OF THESE WOULD YOU LIKE TO FINISH OUT, AND THEN WHICH ONES MAYBE CAN COME OFF ALTOGETHER, AND WHICH ONES

128DO WE WANT TO PUSH OFF TO THE NEXT CYCLE, WHICH WOULD CONCEIVABLY START IN AUGUST. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR YOU TO NOTE. THERE WAS LEGISLATION PASSED USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION DEVICES BY STUDENTS, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU ALL WANT TO TACKLE THAT ONE, THAT WE WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT LEGISLATION, IF IT'S SIGNED, HOW IT'S SIGNED, THEN I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE REDISTRICTING POLICY BECAUSE THAT IS A NEW POLICY AND IT IS JUST ADDING SOME LANGUAGE ABOUT MICRO ADJUSTMENTS AND KIND OF REVIEWING THAT ANNUALLY PER GO SO IT'S NOT A BIG REVAMP BECAUSE THAT IS A NEW POLICY. IT'S JUST MAKING THAT MINOR LANGUAGE ADJUSTMENT THERE. SO NOW I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. AWESOME. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO

129THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT AND THEN WE'LL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. PRESIDENT CORT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR CONSIDERATION AS YOU HAVE THIS CONVERSATION THE FOLLOWING POLICIES. GBGB , GC K, GC MD AND GCC. THESE ARE ALL EMPLOYEE RELATED TYPE POLICIES, AND A COUPLE CONSIDERATIONS THERE. MOST OF THESE --WELL ALL OF THOSE POLICIES THAT I MENTIONED HAD NO CHANGES IN THE STATUTE PIECE OF THOSE AND SO MY RECOMMENDATION, THOSE WOULD BE MORE A REGULATION TYPE OF CONSIDERATION FOR US TO DEVELOP THE REGULATIONS AROUND THOSE. THE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS THAT WE ALSO ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WITH OUR UNIONS AND WOULD HATE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES AND THEN GO BACK, AND FIRST DETERMINE IS IT MORE REGULATION OR DO WE HAVE TO VISIT

130POLICY ON THE POLICIES THAT I MENTIONED? THE OTHER ONE, IT WOULD BE GC G, WHICH THAT ONE WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK AT. LET ME GO BACK. WE COULD ALSO CONSIDER THAT AFTER THE BARGAINING PROCESS IS COMPLETED. BUT THAT MIGHT BE ONE THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT SOME OF DATED LANGUAGE FOR THAT ONE. SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SUGGEST, AS WE WENT THROUGH SIX POLICIES, THAT THAT IS AN AWFUL LOT OF POLICIES. IT'S TAXING TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE AND WHEN I'M TRYING TO WORK THROUGH ALL OF THEM, IT'S A LOT OF LANGUAGE AND A LOT OF THINGS TO DO, AND I MIGHT SUGGEST --WE CAN DISCUSS IT AS MAY BE DOING TWO POLICIES PER BOARD MEETING. WE'LL GET THERE, BUT I THINK

131THAT IF WE DO A SMALLER AMOUNT AND DO IT WELL, IT WILL SERVE US BETTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO I'M READY FOR DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS, AND ALL THE THINGS. I DON'T --I THINK THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION. I DON'T KNOW --LIKE TODAY WE ARE IN A WORK SESSION, RIGHT? WORK SESSION WE SHOULD BE DOING JUST POLICY BUT WE ARE NOT DOING JUST POLICY, WE'RE DOING ALL SORTS OF OTHER STUFF. SO I KNOW THIS WILL BE A CONVERSATION FOR LATER BUT WHEN DO WE SET OUR MEETINGS, OUR BOARD MEETINGS AND WORK SESSIONS AND ALL THAT? WHEN DO WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH THAT CALENDAR? SOONISH, RIGHT? JUNE. >> JUNE. MIGHT I SUGGEST WE DO MORE WORK SESSIONS THAN WHAT WE ARE DOING CURRENTLY? BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE THROUGH A LOT

132OF THESE -- AS FEDERAL STUFF CHANGES, IT HAPPENS. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAYBE ADJUST OTHER POLICIES THAT WE ARE NOT THINKING OF. I JUST THINK WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN MEETINGS TO TACKLE ALL OF THESE, SO WE MIGHT NEED TO CONSIDER EXTRA WORK SESSIONS. AND MAYBE LESS [ INAUDIBLE ] WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION. EXTENDED WORK SESSIONS. >> THIS ISN'T EVEN --AND SUPERINTENDENT, WE DON'T NEED THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT DURING WORK SESSION, RIGHT? ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL POLICY WORK SESSION. WE DON'T VOTE ON ANYTHING. WE JUST DO THE ONE IN THE TWO READING. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST THINK WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL OF THESE POLICIES. WE NEED MORE MEETINGS, UNFORTUNATELY I WOULD SHOOT MYSELF FOR SAYING THIS, BUT WE NEED MORE MEETINGS TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS. BUT

133THAT IS A BURDEN ON STAFF. MAYBE IT'S MORE EFFICIENT. THAT WAY WE ARE NOT HERE. THIS GOES BACK TO MY TIME LIMITING. LIKE MAYBE IF WE ARE JUST HERE MORE OFTEN BUT SPREAD OUT, AS OPPOSED TO --ANYWAYS, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT. THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENT MULLEN. I LIKE THE IDEA OF TWO POLICIES PER MEETING. IT'S NOT LIKE THE OLD POLICIES ARE TERRIBLE, THEY JUST NEED TO BE REVISED AND WE'LL EVENTUALLY GET TO THEM. SO BETTER TO TAKE THE RACE AT A SLOW PACE AND BE THOROUGH AND COMFORTABLE. THANK YOU. YES, MR. ROCKFORD. OUR APPROACH IS TO DO THREE POLICIES EACH TIME, ISN'T IT? CURRENTLY YES . IT'S SO HARD TO USE A CRYSTAL BALL TO KNOW WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO TAKE MORE TIME, BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT AT OUR NEXT MEETING WE'RE

134GOING TO GO YES, YES, YES TO THE SECOND READINGS WE JUST HAD AND THE UCF POLICY. SO WE HAVE FOUR POLICIES LISTED FOR NEXT MEETING. THEY SHOULD TAKE VERY LITTLE TIME. IF THERE WERE A WAY TO KNOW, BECAUSE TWO POLICIES IS A GOOD IDEA, MORE THOROUGH. IF THERE WERE A WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH WORK DO WE NEED TO GET DONE, MIGHT WE NEED TO DO THREE POLICIES AT ONE POINT? THEN THERE'S THE EMERGENCY THINGS THAT COME UP, THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TO REDO JUST FROM LAST DECEMBER. SO PRESIDENT CORT, SECRETARY WOFFORD, ONE THING THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST IS TO HAVE TWO POLICIES AND KIND OF LEAVE A PLACEHOLDER IN CASE WE DO NEED TO ADD. SOMETIMES THE GOAL WOULD BE TO HAVE TWO, BUT IF SOMETHING EMERGED AS A PRIORITY, IT

135COULD MEAN THREE AT THE TIME. BUT IF WE ALREADY HAVE THREE, AND THEN A COUPLE OF THINGS EMERGE AS PRIORITIES, NOW WE'RE UP TO FOUR OR FIVE AT A TIME SO THAT WOULD MAYBE BE ANOTHER CONSIDERATION. HOW WOULD OUR SCHEDULING WORK IF WE DID WHAT VICE PRESIDENT SUGGESTS, FOCUSING ON POLICIES AND WORK SESSIONS? BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE A WORKER ON THE WORK SESSIONS, AND SO THAT'S A LONG TIME BETWEEN POLICY THERE -- THAT'S THE OTHER POINT. IT IS A LOT OF TIME BETWEEN CONVERSATIONS. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S A THREE-MONTH PROCESS REALLY TO GET THE POLICY PAST. YOU'VE GOT YOUR WORK SESSION IF YOU HAVE IT OR YOU'VE GOT TWO, OR YOU'VE GOT THREE. WHATEVER, YOU HAVE THREE MEETINGS. WE COULD DO IT IN TWO. [ INAUDIBLE ] >> YES, SUPERINTENDENT. PRESIDENT CORT, MEMBERS OF

136THE BOARD, AS I'M LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION AROUND WORK SESSIONS, MAYBE SOMETHING FOR US TO EXPLORE IS THAT WE WOULD, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, LOOKING AT OUR CALENDAR, WHERE MOST OF OUR WORK SESSIONS WE WOULD START LIKE THE FIRST READING OF POLICIES, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE MEAT OF THE WORK HAPPENS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A WORK SESSION. SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND REALLY LOOK AT CALENDAR, ANALYZING HOW THAT WOULD LOOK, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE DETERMINE, WHAT YOU DETERMINE WITH THOSE PRIORITIES AS REGARD TO POLICIES, AND THEN WE COULD THEN ALIGN THAT TO WHERE WE COULD START, BACK TO YOUR POINT OF TWO POLICIES, START THEM IN A WORK SESSION. THAT WAY WE ROLL INTO A BOARD MEETING, MAYBE ON A SECOND OR THIRD READING, THEN IT GOES A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.

137SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD EXPLORE AND ANALYZE HOW WE CAN START FIRST READINGS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DURING WORK SESSIONS, AND EVEN OUR BOARD EXTENDED SESSIONS, AS WELL POINT ARE THOSE THE RETREATS? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. BECAUSE WE HAVE A WORK SESSION ONCE A MONTH WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A RETREAT AND WE HAVE A RETREAT TWICE A YEAR. I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL QUARTERLY. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE FOUR RETREATS. QUARTERLY RETREATS. AND THEN IN THE MONTHS WHERE THERE'S NOT A RETREAT THERE'S A WORK SESSION. LET'S CUT THAT IN HALF. I WOULD SAY TWO RETREATS, SUMMER AND THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. BECAUSE WE CAN'T VOTE I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER, DO WE ACTUALLY VOTE ON ANYTHING DURING -- SO LET'S HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WHEN --WHEN THERE'S A MEETING THAT'S GOING TO TALK

138ABOUT OUR MEETING CALENDAR. YES, THAT'S FINE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS, ACTUALLY. SO I FEEL LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE AT THE LAST WHATEVER THAT THING IS CALLED, EXTENDED BOARD MEETING, EXTENDED WORK SESSION, AND ON THE SECOND PAGE I HAD ASKED TO NOT DO EMPLOYEE LEAVE, IT WASN'T YOU THAT SAID YOU WOULD DO IT? I DON'T REMEMBER. >> I BELIEVE YOU ARE CORRECT. I KNOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IT AND IT'S STILL THERE. AND I'M NOMINATING MR. NOLAN. AND I THINK I PUT MY NAME FOR REDISTRICTING BUT I COULD BE WRONG . JUST I HAVE BEEN PART OF THE PROCESS, SO ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. AND AS FAR AS A PAGE BEFORE, OR A SLIDE BEFORE, LOOKING AT THE ONES THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED, TRYING TO CONSIDER WHICH

139OF THE ONES THAT ARE NEEDED MOST IMMEDIATELY. DO WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE MARKED? SO THE ONES -- THE G, TENORIO, AS SUPERINTENDENT RUIZ MENTIONED, WE WOULD LIKE TO HOLD OFF ON TO THOSE UNTIL THE COLLECT OF BARGAINING PROCESS IS COMPLETE, AND THEN WE'LL KNOW IF, DO WE NEED TO MAKE A POLICY REVISION OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE REGULATION? THESE ARE THE HR POLICIES? >> CORRECT. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IN THE SUMMER, TO DO THEM IN BULK. I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD GET IT DONE IN TWO READINGS. SO MAYBE, AND I THINK IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT REVISIONS, IF ANY, NEED TO BE MADE. PRESIDENT, IF I MAY, MS. TENORIO, I THINK WITH THOSE POLICIES, AS FAR AS CONSIDERATION THAT WE TAKE THEM OFF COMPLETELY, BECAUSE RIGHT

140NOW THE STATUTE HASN'T CHANGED SO THE POLICY ITSELF DOESN'T NEED TO BE REVIEWED. IT WOULD BE MORE OF THE REGULATION. NOW ONCE BARGAINING IS COMPLETED, MORE THAN LIKELY IT'S GOING TO BE IN A REGULATION. IF BY ANY CHANCE IT BECOMES POLICY, THEN WE CAN PUT IT BACK TO DETERMINE. I HATE TO PUT THESE POLICIES UNDER WHERE WE ARE LUMPING OTHERS THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE ON THERE, I GUESS IS MY POINT. WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR THEM COMING TO US IN THE FIRST PLACE? SO RESIDENT CORT, MEMBER TENORIO, SOME OF THESE WERE AT THE REQUEST OF BOARD MEMBERS AND SOME OF THEM WERE JUST LOOKING HR REVIEW OF POLICIES -- LIKE IMPROVING THE WORDING, THE PRACTICE. PRESIDENT, MS. TENORIO, IF I COULD HAVE MS. DONNELLY COME UP. PART OF THESE AS MS. DONNELLY COMES UP,

141ANOTHER CONSIDERATION THAT WE MAY LOOK AT, AND I'VE SEEN IN OTHERS, AND OTHER PRACTICES LOOKING AS WELL, MAYBE SENDING SOME, I DON'T KNOW THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR HERE, BUT LIKE SOME TYPE OF THRESHOLD, WHICH POLICIES WOULD BE PRIORITY AMONG --LIKE A CRITERIA TO BRING FORWARD, SO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO CONSIDER, AS WELL. THAT'S GREAT, YES. MS. DONNELLY. >> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT CORT, BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT REESE. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MEMBER TENORIO, THIS WAS THE DISCUSSION THAT TOOK PLACE AT OUR WORK SESSION WHERE THE BOARD WAS TALKING ABOUT OVERALL WHAT WOULD WE LOOK AT DURING THIS YEAR. JUST TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE POINTS THAT MR. REESE MADE, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY CHANGE ON ANY OF THOSE IN STATUTE AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION AT THIS POINT WOULD BE MORE SO TO REMOVE THEM OFF COMPLETELY,

142KNOWING THAT IF THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BASED ON WHAT CONVERSATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE MADE WITH THE CBA NEGOTIATIONS, THAT WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH THE REGULATION. AND SO THAT'S WHEN OUR WORK WOULD COME IN TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR REGULATION IS PAIRED WITH THAT. NOW WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT STATUTE. I'VE LOOKED AT EACH ONE OF THOSE TO MAKE SURE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY CHANGES. THAT'S WHERE WE COME BACK AND RECOMMEND IT TO YOU AS A BOARD, THAT THE STATUTE, WHICH IS WHAT WE DONE, THAT HAS BEEN OUR PATH, ONLY BECAUSE THE STATUTE HAS NOW CHANGED AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR POLICIES ALIGN WITH [ INAUDIBLE ] THANK YOU. >> I HAD A QUESTION. SO THE ONES THAT ARE HR RELATED, DID SOMEBODY KIND OF FLAG IT IN

143YOUR OFFICE, DEPARTMENT? HOW DID THEY COME TO US? THEY CAME FROM THE CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING [ INAUDIBLE ] OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHERE PRESIDENT, IF I MAY, AND MS. TENORIO, WE WOULD CONSIDER A CRITERIA. THE OTHER PIECE THAT I'LL TALK -- I'LL MEET WITH THE TEAM AROUND THIS, TOO, BACK TO THE CONVERSATION WE ARE HAVING NOW, THAT WE ALSO DOCUMENT THE REASONS WHY, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE FORGET FIVE MONTHS AGO WHY WE DECIDED THAT, ALTHOUGH WE COULD GO BACK AND REVIEW BUT MAKE SOME DOCUMENTATION AROUND THAT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND IF MEMORY SERVES ME I THINK THAT WE ALL LOOK THROUGH THE POLICIES. IN AN EMAIL TO DR. MILLER-TOMLINSON, AND SAID THESE ARE THE ONES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON, AND I THINK THE LIST WAS PULLED FROM THAT, BUT ALSO CORRECT ME

144IF I'M WRONG. I GUESS I'M KIND OF DIGGING MY BRAIN TO THINK LIKE WHAT AS BOARD MEMBERS WERE WE DISCUSSING WHEN AN ISSUE WOULD COME UP THAT WOULD BREAK THIS POLICY. I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. WE WERE HAVING DISCUSSIONS AND WE NEED SOME KIND OF POLICY REVIEW ON THIS TOPIC, OR WHATEVER. I GUESS FOR ME THE QUESTION WAS LIKE, HOW DID YOU SHOW UP HERE? IT WAS US DISCUSSING THIS AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I'M NOT GOING TO REMEMBER THOSE CONVERSATIONS. JUST I DON'T KNOW. A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES THAT --YES, AND SO THOSE CONVERSATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO PARTICULAR INCIDENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME. STAFF, PERSONNEL SAFETY AND SECURITY, THERE WAS INFORMATION WHAT WOULD BE COMING FORWARD WITH OUR SCHOOLS, POSSIBLY, WHAT WE WERE GOING TO IMPLEMENT. I

145THINK A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS TAKING PLACE WE WERE ANTICIPATING HAPPENING, AND WOULD BE BEST TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THEM. WITH THAT, THEN, IF THOSE AREN'T GOING TO BE PRESSING POLICY CHANGES, I WOULD AGREE THAT THESE SHOULD BE REMOVED. AND THAT MAKES IT EASIER SINCE WE WERE ALREADY BEHIND ON THEM ANYWAY. THERE WAS A MUCH LARGER SPREADSHEET AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER PERK OF SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED OTHER -- YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR SUCCESSES? WE'VE DONE SO MANY. SO THIS IS THE EDITED VERSION. THE LAST TIME WE LOOK THAT THIS WAS, I BELIEVE IN JANUARY, AND WE LOOKED AT THE WORK THAT YOU HAD DONE IN THE FALL AND WHAT WAS APPROVED, REVISIONS THAT WERE MADE. WE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS THEN AND SO I THINK AT THIS POINT IF WE ARE LOOKING AT TAKING

146OFF ALL OF THE G'S INCLUDING GCC EMPLOYEE LEAVE, THAT WOULD LEAVE US WITH A MORE MANAGEABLE SET OF POLICIES FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER. SO THINKING AHEAD ON THE TIMELINE, THERE'S ANOTHER REGULAR MEETING IN APRIL, WHICH AS YOU NOTED, WE WOULD FINISH UP THE FOUR POLICIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE REVISION CYCLE. SO INSTEAD OF ADDING ANYTHING TO THAT MEETING, FINISHING UP WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN STARTED. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WORK SESSION AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY AND THEN A REGULAR MEETING ON MAY 20th, WHERE YOU ALL CAN START ANOTHER CYCLE OF TWO POLICIES. IF YOU WANTED TO CHOOSE TWO OF THESE POLICIES THAT ARE REMAINING ON THE LIST, INCLUDING THESE NEW POLICIES, IF YOU WANTED TO CONSIDER THOSE AND START FROM THERE, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE, THAT WOULD TAKE US THROUGH JUNE. AND THEN

147IN JULY, WHEN WE START THE NEW CYCLE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, THEN WE COULD DO A NEW CALENDAR AND HAVE THAT CONVERSATION OF WHICH OF THESE POLICIES DO WE WANT TO START IN THE NEXT CYCLE AND MAYBE THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE MATRIX, OR MAYBE OTHER NEEDS EMERGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER. SO THAT MIGHT BE MY RECOMMENDATION, IS TO DO START 2 IN MAY. THAT WOULD TAKE US THROUGH JUNE AND THEN KIND OF HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN FOR THE NEXT CYCLE. THANK YOU, AND I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT WE DO NOT HEAVY LIFTING BECAUSE THAT'S THE WEEK OF GRADUATION AND I'M SURE EVERYBODY WOULD APPRECIATE MAKING JUST A LITTLE -- NOT SO CRAZY TIME. AND AS SUPERINTENDENT SUGGESTED, TAKING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ONE, AND LETTING THAT GO LATER, UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT

148WHAT THE LEGISLATION IS ON THAT, AS WELL. ALL RIGHT . HOW ARE WE FEELING COME ABOARD? PRESIDENT CORT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I MIGHT SUGGEST REDISTRICTING WOULD BE REALLY --IT'S REALLY JUST ADDING THE MICRO ADJUSTMENT PIECE TO THAT. IT WAS GOING TO BE A QUICK ADJUSTMENT TO THAT POLICY, SO JUST FYI. THANK YOU, MS. GALLEGOS. PRESIDENT CORT, TO FURTHER THAT GOAL, I THINK SOMEONE DID MENTION APPEAR ON THE DAIS THIS EVENING THE IDEA OF SOMETIMES ONLY DOING TWO READINGS, AND THAT IS AVAILABLE UNDER YOUR CURRENT POLICY. I WAS ALSO SITTING HERE THINKING, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE BUT AND MSB A STANDARD POLICY THAT DISTRICTS FOLLOW COULD USE THAT SERVICE, THEY JUST HAVE TWO MEETINGS. THERE'S NOT A THIRD MEETING. I KNOW YOU ALL ARE REALLY USED TO THE THIRD READING.

149TONIGHT SOME WENT INTO THE FOURTH READING. WE CAN ALWAYS ADD A READING. ONE THING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT IS THE PRIORITY CRITERIA FOR TWO READINGS ONLY, AND SEE IF YOU WANT TO ADJUST THOSE CRITERIA, SO IF IT'S A HOUSEKEEPING ITEM LIKE REDISTRICTING, YOU COULD MAYBE SOMEHOW DESIGNATE IT AS A HOUSEKEEPING CHANGE AND SHORTEN THE READINGS UNDER A CRITERION SUCH AS THAT. EXCELLENT. YES. VERSUS A MAJOR OVERHAUL. AND THEN DO I REMEMBER IN AUGUST SOMETHING REPORTING DEADLINE FOR THAT ELECTRONIC BILL THAT THE GOVERNOR IS GOING TO SIGN? PRESIDENT CORT -->> OKAY, THAT SHOULD FACTOR INTO OUR FIRST AND SECOND READING TIME BECAUSE IF WE NEED TO REPORT TO SANTA FE BUT AUGUST 1st, WE SHOULD BE DONE BY THEN. THAT IS CORRECT, PRESIDENT CORT , MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. WOFFORD. SOUNDS LIKE

150A PLAN, BUT I DO THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO BLAME US FOR THESE G THINGS BEING IN THERE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT. WE'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. [ LAUGHTER ] LET ME GIVE YOU EXAMPLES. SHE WAS RIGHT THERE. [ LAUGHTER ] IF I MAY, THESE ARE YOUR POLICIES. WE'LL REVIEW THE TAPE AND SEE. SO, SO FAR WE HAVE GC AA REDISTRICTING FOR MAY 20th. IS THERE ANY -- I THINK THE FIREARMS AND WEAPONS, EBC F. IS THAT A HEAVY LIFT, THAT ONE? IT'S ONLY LIFTING ONE DAY. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE OTHER READINGS ON OTHER -- I'M JUST SAYING BECAUSE IT'S THE WEEK OF GRADUATION. IT'S THE FIRST READING. >> WE TASKED THE STAFF TO WORK ON -- OKAY, THEN DON'T. SIDENOTE. MAYBE THE STAFF ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH REDISTRICTING AND MOVING STUDENTS AROUND

151THE, AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS RELATED. DOES THAT RING A BELL? >> IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME, IN A GENERAL SENSE. I DO HAVE EXAMPLES. >> PRESIDENT CORT, MEMBER NOLAN, THAT DID HAVE TO DO WITH CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE STAFFING HAD TAKEN PLACE AND THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT OUR PROCESS WAS. AND REGARDING LATERAL TRANSFERS, REGARDING DISPLACEMENTS. SO DURING THAT TIME, THOSE CONVERSATIONS MIGHT HAVE COME TO SOME OF THE MEMBERS AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. SO CONVERSATION WAS HAD ABOUT WHAT IS A POLICY STATE PERHAPS WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS YEAR. SO IT WAS SCHEDULED TO WHERE IT WOULD BE IN TIME WITH OUR STAFFING, WHICH IS HAPPENING NOW, SO THAT IF THAT POLICY WOULD BE REVIEWED IT WOULD DO SO AT THAT TIME. SO THAT ALSO GOES

152IN LINE WITH THE CBA LANGUAGE. IT HAS CHANGED. IT REALLY WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH THE REGULATION. SO THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE THAT COMES TO MIND. THAT WAS THE FEELING OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THESE PLACEMENTS AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR MOVING FORWARD, IF THAT HELPS. THE ONLY ONE I REMEMBER, AND THERE COULD'VE BEEN OTHER EXAMPLES, IS WHEN WE HAD EAS BEING USED AS SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT APPLIES HERE. SO THAT WENT IN LINE WITH THE SUBSTITUTE STUFF, AS WELL, WHERE WE USE SUBSTITUTES AND WHERE WE DON'T. AND THAT WAS A CONVERSATION THAT MOVED FORWARD IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS HAD ABOUT SUBSTITUTES AS WELL AS WHEN WE CALL THIS UP, INSTEAD OF USING PERMANENT EMPLOYEES THERE. AND THE RECOMMENDATION, AND THE

153SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION, I THINK IT'S BEST TO LEAVE ALL THE GS UNTIL AFTER CBA. I AGREE WITH THE TWO READINGS FOR WHEN IT CAN APPLY, ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTE ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE ON MAY 20th FIRST READING OF GCA OR GC AA AND WE'RE GOOD? I WISH I HAD LOOKED AT THESE POLICIES. THEN WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL FIVE , SUPERINTENDENT, OR HOWEVER MANY OF THOSE -- THOSE ARE GOING OFF. THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THEY WOULD BE OFF BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT SEEING A POLICY REVISION FOR THOSE. IT'S MORE REGULATION. IF I MAY RECOMMEND MAYBE LOOKING AND GETTING THE BA, THE BOARD GOALS PIECE DONE. IN LINE WITH THE STRATEGIC WHEN. IT'S A GREAT RECOMMENDATION AND I THINK THAT THAT SOUNDS GREAT, AND WE CAN MOVE THE EBC F TO JUNE. IT'S ALREADY ON JUNE.

154LOOK AT THAT. SO IF WE START FIRST READING OF GC AA MVA ON MAY 20th, THE SECOND READING THEN WOULD BE ON JUNE 3rd FOR THOSE TWO POLICIES. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO START ANOTHER POLICY WITH FIRST READING ON JUNE THIRD. BOARD, WHAT DO YOU THINK? SORRY [ INAUDIBLE ] SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TWO IN MAY AND THEN JUNE 3rd WE'LL HAVE SECOND READING OF THOSE. DO WE WANT ANOTHER POLICY OR ANOTHER TWO POLICIES READY TO GO FOR JUNE 3rd? MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO GET THEM DONE. MORE MEETINGS, BUT -- I GUESS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. PRESIDENT COURTS, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IF WE ARE LOOKING AT -- SO MAY 20th WOULD BE FIRST READING OF THESE TWO POLICIES, RIGHT? AND WHEN WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE? JUNE 3rd WOULD

155BE THE NEXT WORK SESSION AND THAT WOULD BE THE SECOND READING FOR THOSE TWO. SO IF YOU'RE WANTING TO DO TWO AT A TIME, YOU ALREADY HAVE TWO IN THE PIPELINE THERE. SO IT'S UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO WORK ON ANOTHER POLICY THROUGH THE SUMMER OR IF WE WANT TO FINISH OUT WITH THOSE TWO AND THEN START WITH THE NEXT CYCLE. YES, SECRETARY WALKER. WHAT DO WE HAVE SCHEDULED ON THE 22nd OF APRIL? WE ARE GOING TO FINISH THOSE FOUR THAT ARE CURRENTLY -- WHICH ARE GOING TO BE CHECKMARK, CHECKMARK, CHECKMARK. THAT'S A BIG ASSUMPTION. IS IT? ONE OF THEM COULD CAUSE DEBATE. THE MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE PCF. BUT THE OTHERS, THERE WERE NO REVISIONS TO I HI AND THE TWO THAT WERE THE SAME , THE JB AND WHATEVER IT IS.

156SO WE ARE DEBATING RIGHT NOW WHICH TWO TO START A FIRST READING ON? YOU WERE SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO START ANYTHING ON THE 22nd. SECRETARY WOFFORD, THAT IS TOTALLY UP TO THE BOARD. IS OUR AGENDA VERY FULL THAT DAY? I THINK DR. WENDY'S PRACTICE WAS TO ALWAYS START ON A REGULAR SESSION, WASN'T IT, TO START A NEW FIRST READING? IDEALLY YOU WOULD FINISH AT A REGULAR SESSION, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN YOU WROTE. SO IF THE PATTERN WAS REGULAR SESSION, WORK SESSION, REGULAR SESSION FOR THIRD READING, THE FIRST READING WOULD BE DURING THE REGULAR SESSION. THAN THE MORE HEAVY LIFT WOULD BE DURING THE WORK SESSION, THAT SECOND READING. WE'VE SEEN IT, NOW WE ARE KIND OF DIGGING INTO SOME OF THE REVISIONS. AND THEN THIRD READING SHOULD BE PRETTY CLEAN BY THAT POINT. SO THAT

157WAS KIND OF THE PATTERN THAT WE HAD FOR A WHILE, BUT TO VICE PRESIDENT NOLAN'S POINT, NOW WE HAVE RETREATS AND WE DON'T HAVE A WORK SESSION EVERY MONTH. SO WE KIND OF THROWED OFF THAT PATTERN. DID WE -->> DID WE USED DO NOT HAVE ACTION ITEMS ON WORK SESSIONS? I REMEMBER THAT, THERE WERE SEVERAL ACTION ITEMS. I BELIEVE THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE WORK SESSIONS MORE OF PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION, INFORMATIONAL, WORKING ON POLICY, ASKING A OF QUESTIONS AND THEN THE VOTING WOULD TAKE PLACE AT THE REGULAR MEETING. THAT WAS MY IMPRESSION BUT I LOOKED BACK AT OUR AGENDAS AND WE'VE BEEN VOTING. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN ACTION ITEMS ON THE WORK SESSION. THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY THINGS TO PASS. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, BACK TO MEMBER WOFFORD, SECRETARY WOFFORD'S WESTON ABOUT APRIL 22nd,

158THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT I WANT TO BRING FOR CONSIDERATION AS FAR AS AGENDA ITEMS WOULD BE LIKE A COLUMBIA, SOME STAFFING UPDATES, SOME OF THE STAFFING PIECES THAT WE ARE DOING NOW SO THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER AGENDA ITEMS COMING FORWARD, JUST TO CONSIDER AS YOU ARE SAYING WE'VE GOT THOSE POLICIES, WE'LL GET THROUGH THOSE FAIRLY QUICKLY BUT THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER AGENDA ITEMS COMING UP. I THINK THAT -- GO AHEAD. DID I STOP YOUR THOUGHT? >> YOU DID BUT IT'S OKAY. I'LL GET IT BACK. I WAS JUST SAYING IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF IDENTIFYING WHICH OF THESE POLICIES ARE WHAT DID YOU CALL IT, HOUSEHOLDS, CLEANING, HOUSEKEEPING, THOSE ONES, WE COULD START ON A WORK SESSION AND HAVE IT DONE. IDEALLY A REGULAR SESSION, VOTE ON IT AT A SECOND

159READING. SO JUST FOR THOSE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. EIGHT MAKES SENSE THIRD READINGS WOULD START ON A REGULAR SESSION, FINISH ON A REGULAR SESSION BUT FOR THOSE, WE'RE KIND OF BEING AMBITIOUS TO DO IN TWO READINGS, WE COULD START ON OUR WORK SESSION AND FINISH ON A REGULAR SESSION. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'D WRITE THEM. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. MEMBER TENORIO. ANOTHER IDEA WOULD BE TO SKIP THE MAY 20th MEETING AND NOT DO ANY POLICIES. THAT IS A REGULAR SESSION. AND TO YOUR POINT, MEMBER TENORIO, HAVE FIRST READING, THE TWO POLICIES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED, JC AA AND BA ARE BOTH KIND OF THOSE HOUSEKEEPING POLICIES, VERY MINIMAL CHANGES, SO WE COULD CONCEIVABLY DO THOSE IN TWO READINGS, START ON JUNE 3rd AND THEN FINISH UP AND APPROVE THE SECOND READING AT THE

160REGULAR JUNE SESSION. SO THAT'S ANOTHER POSSIBILITY FOR THOSE TWO. THAT'S A BRILLIANT POSSIBILITY. I REALLY LIKE THAT. WITH GRADUATION WEEKEND ALL OF THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND GIVEN THAT WE ARE SITTING HERE GOING, LET'S DO THAT, I THINK THAT'S FABULOUS, UNLESS --AND I DON'T NEED TO SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY. PLEASE SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES. YOU SPEAK FOR ME. WE ARE GOING TO WRAP UP THE ONES WE DID TODAY. YES. >> AND THEN NO NEW ONES AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT IN JUNE. NEVER AGAIN. >> NO NEW ONES IN MAY AND THEN ON JUNE 3rd WE'LL DO THE EASY ONES, THE JC AA AND BA AND HOPEFULLY GET THOSE TAKEN CARE OF IN TWO READINGS ON JUNE, AND THEN START THE NEXT CYCLE. BRILLIANT PLAN. I LOVE IT. IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET

161THERE BUT WE DID IT. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT. YOU CAN. >> IT'S GOING TO BE WITHDRAWAL. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2022. WE STARTED WITH WHAT, FOUR READINGS, FIVE READINGS, SIX? THERE'S NO WAY IT CAN GO DOWN TO ZERO POINT IT'S JUST FOR ONE. >> I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND. I'LL JUST READ THEM ON MY OWN. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE AT THE END, WHICH THAT'S EXCITING. SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN --I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN THIS WORK SESSION. SO MOVED. >> HAPPILY. MOVED TO MS. TENORIO, SECONDED MR. FRANK. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING HI. PLEASE SAY HI. ALL OPPOSED? WE ARE OUT OF HERE AT 6:49. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

162TODAY. IT WAS A GREAT MEETING.
