001Let me good. Everybody else thinking something, too. I'm okay. >> I know. >> There's something going through the last one. >> First of many. I don't know. >> Also, >> our four-year-old was happy. like an out of body experience yesterday, but when I came home by 5:00, he was like, "Hey, how you doing?" >> A nap and all it takes. >> Yeah. What was it? someone make sure that you're taking care of the >> Hey, Jojo. >> Hey, >> how are you? >> Good. >> How'd you do on Saturday? >> Good. Um, I got um top 10 for uh fastest runners in uh in three mile frequency. So yeah, there's your student. >> All right, let's call this meeting, please. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America tonight. Are there
002any proposed changes or amendments? >> If there's no amendments, we'll take a motion to accept the agenda. >> I motion to accept the agenda. I second it. All >> right. First a second. I'll take a vote to approve agenda >> or adopt the agenda. Excuse me. >> I is there any public comments? >> No, there's not. Okay. >> Okay. Next item is the consent agenda. I'll entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda. I move to approve the consent agenda. Second. Is there any questions on the consent agenda? I'm mine or I'll answer. >> Okay. All right. Uh, all those in favor of the consent. >> I Okay. And then we're on to reports. >> Mr. Yeah. >> Dr. Excuse me. >> Mr. Mr. >> All right. So, uh, some exciting things are happening at
003Quincy High School this week. Uh starting Thursday and Friday, we have a film crew from Microsoft coming to film um our AI integration at Quincy High School. And the things that I'm most excited about is the way our CTE teachers are using artificial intelligence um to plan and design their lessons uh and to adapt their lessons because especially a lot of our CTE programs there's not necessarily a set curricula per se just because it is so job um tied to industry. It's industry standard. So they're using AI to do that and then they're also high limiting some of the ways that our students are AI. So, for example, we have a student in rangeand that is using AI to uh help her identify flowers. Um, and then some of the range competitions, it's helping her
004uh develop a rubric uh for the competition to score herself on for self-evaluation. So, it's really neat and I'm just I'm really proud that it's being highlighted in our career techn technical educational spaces because it it they're really making it to industry which is where we're headed for AI uh TTK. So, our transition to kindergarten starts uh on Thursday, right? We're bringing in 48 preschool students. We're really excited about that at Pioneer Mountain View Monument. um full sections and we have students on the waiting list even for those sessions as well. Um you know with the legislation coming up you know I gonna continue to advocate for the expansion of TTK programs particularly in places where there's child uh preschool daycare or take care preschool deserts such as George especially. Um I think that's the
005next area that that makes the most sense to expand. Um but we're really happy that we were able to keep the three. So, we're very thankful for that uh because they were up there for a while. Uh we are continuing to add enrollment. Uh so, our next enrollment report, you'll see above 48 students. That bump 48 is because the TTK students are counted. Um but I spoke with our register today and we're continuing to register even more kids uh even when school started. So, that's encouraging. Um and then today we had a all three-hour all district uh admin training on uh the some of the discipline uh rules and procedures that have changed just to make sure that our our admin are up to speed. It's highly complex uh three-hour training with our attorney uh
006making sure that we're following the law exact exactly as it's written. Um and then in addition to the training, there's also about a 60page uh handbook that goes along with our our administrators reference uh when they are admission administrative discipline. So it's a very complex um uh policy and procedure that we won't be talking about tonight, but we're trained up ready to go. That's all I have. Any questions for me? All right, welcome to the student report. First of all, welcome guys. Your first meeting. Good to have you. >> Um, so for sports, there is a soccer game tonight at 6 and then a volleyball game also at 6:30, I think. And then across country has a whole meet on the 25th down by President Bar. So if you guys have time, go and support
007them. And um yesterday they had student council to announce um hoco I guess when when it is and all that. The ho for this the hokco thing for this year is casino night and they are doing setup. So if you need community or school hours you can go down there on the 17th and the 18th. And then tomorrow they are also having a movie night. It's cars I think. And then it's $5 to get in and then you also get popcorn and lemonade. And then I think FCCLA selling candy as well. And that's all I have there in my >> um also on Tuesday I think we'll have a or no sorry um on Saturday we'll have a a cross country meet as well. So cross country meet. Yeah. Uh I don't know where it
008is but um we're also having one on Saturday. >> Jojo did Alejandro break the school record on Saturday? >> Did I see that correctly? that Alejandro broke the school record. >> School record. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> He he he broke a lot of school records. >> Yeah. >> I mean, he's he's already broken the school record for the two mile and for the three mile. So, I'm not I'm not surprised that he's he's really good. So, he's he's a really fast runner. So, >> yeah, >> you guys are a fast team, too. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Awesome. Very cool. >> Yeah. uh board leadership report. I'll just say I I was able to call a couple people and follow up but not everybody since I started the conversation. Um on during the board leadership
009meeting this coming week, we are going to talk about the um the district policy about um personal expression. Um I asked Shannon and Dan if they had any any input they wanted to share. The policy has been emailed to all of us, but Casey and Rita, do you guys have anything you want us to talk about before the meeting? Sorry, I >> responded. >> No, that's you're fine. No, no, as long as as long as one of the three of us gets it, then we'll we'll have something to talk about. But I want to make sure everybody knew that we were going to have a conversation about that during leadership and then we are going to schedule an executive session with our lawyer to have a conversation amongst the five of us in October. So
010just wanted to follow up on that guys. Other than that, that's all I have for leadership updates. >> But you haven't made any decision yet. Yeah, >> I think the first promise. >> Yeah. Best to be practical. >> I was going to also mention um we're waiting to hear back to some Wings that would impact street and athletics. So, we're just waiting on something. >> Well, yeah. Um there's been some vanish from WO my board leadership update but our uh for students who cuss but only in soccer um and if they're ejected or use the profanity this there's a $100 fine u but just for boys soccer only um and then if coaches are ejected coaches pay a $100 fine so uh there's been no guidance from the WI how to collect these fines. It
011hasn't been uh there's no there haven't been any fines administered yet. Um so there's there hasn't been any challenges of if someone refuses to pay and wouldn't do. >> Um and then we're just kind of scratching our head why you would only single out boys soccer um and not all sports. >> Oh, uh it just doesn't feel right to us. >> Yeah. over the other. >> More to come as we learn more >> more to come. >> And then I think retweet dates we still want, you know, Shannon's offered to offer her house up too. So if there's any try to get a retreat, >> another survey. >> Yeah. >> Are we still looking at October push back? I mean, I don't know who's the most busy amongst us. >> Turns October is going on.
012I'm like, >> we can we can put out some in Boston to conferences in November, too. >> So, we can put some I'll just select a few days to get that out to you guys and we'll put some November dates in there as well. >> Okay. So, then we're on to policy review and adoption. The first round is just first reading. >> I'm really struggling with following all the exchanges. Some of this language is so redundant. >> Yeah. Um, I've had ones that when they are just I think it was in um all inclusive and they're they are trying to give us a explanation of all terms, but when they're talking about it, they're they're they seem to be like race, color, and uh international or national origin. Aren't all those same? >> They aren't.
013And they come out of the state defined non-discrimination language. So whenever if there's any complaint or if there's any um you know office of civil rights complaint >> uh around discipline or special education that's the standard that they will use to deter >> religion and everything >> that all >> and it's growing uh the list and we you know has to be on all materials website it's it's y >> any questions on the first readings or should we just go >> I did question on 1310 just really understanding um which related to just how we do our administrative policy adoption and those functions um I guess when we've had policies for review it it's saying that the public should have the ability to also give input that never happened >> they do need public >>
014is that an accurate reading of >> I think they or meeting through um our public comment section of the meeting. So that's what that's >> how does that work when you are actually trying to change your policy and the >> well it goes on for a first reading it goes on for a second reading so it's public on >> yeah they're following along >> it's posted all these hyperlinks are accessible right yeah >> and then you know I think you can see we even gone a step further with the AI chatbot too like once they're were adopted probably can just put in any scenario find their policy and procedure without having to hack through you know 10,000 pages of policy and procedure. >> Mhm. >> So, um I think that's also made it more accessible
015to people. >> Yeah. The reason I ask is I've been to other community public open meetings like city council and stuff like that and they after like their agenda items have space for the public to comment just kind of change. We don't do that but >> you could put public comment at the end too. There are some boards that do that. It's >> so just more of a question. >> Yeah. And then I just want to make note of uh policy 2420 pretty awesome but that's being incorporated with it. Should the comment related to notification to parents related to academic progress? >> And then we're on to second reading adoption. We have any questions on the second readings >> for all in response to state changes. >> Correct. It was too >> and you'll probably
016see them again uh because OSBI has admitted that they've had some over uh some over they've overlooked some issues that are getting stem from long-term expulsion. Uh the new rules they they're almost the exact same now. Um there's really very little difference between an expulsion and a long-term suspension other than the expulsion. You can appeal to the superintendent for a full year. Um that's in a firearm is a full year >> lengthen it. >> Yes, you can lengthen it where >> but you can in the >> not in the long term. Um so it's taking a little bit of flexibility away from the long-term suspension. Uh so I anticipate that OSBI will probably be cleaning that up. So I would I would bet you'll see these again. >> Yeah. >> So what is considered as
017a long-term suspension? >> So anything over 10 days is a long-term suspension. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Yep. All right. >> Okay. Do I have a motion to adopt these calls? >> Wait till we hear. >> Do you want to wait to adopt until we hear there's correction? >> No, there's going to be for a long time. Those guys just said, "No, we know it's not the best. It's not clean, but you're have to sit on it until >> we give you additional guidance." So, they haven't said anything um as far as when that's going to happen. OSBI uh they're they're down about 30 or so staff members. So, I don't think anytime soon, you know, we don't long-term or expel often. Um we do expel, it generally falls within that firearm or uh something
018pretty extreme where the principal appeals to me for a full year. >> And this is the training that your administrators just >> Yes. Yeah. All the >> policies match. >> Yes. Yes. Please. >> Okay. So, I make a motion to >> finish that. >> Adopt. >> Accept them. Adopt. >> Adopt these policies. Okay. >> And a second. >> Second. >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any unfinished business? I don't think so. >> We have any new business we need to close tonight. Any requests for future topics? Okay, so we're into a work session to talk to our new student board reps and one returning. >> If you guys want to hang out, I know you're being in here longer. >> Please go home. >> Thank you. Although I hear >>
019so this this is time really just for us to kind of onboard you a little bit. Uh Lucy, you're going to lead this work session. >> Me? >> Why do you boss? >> Yeah, you're in charge. You're you're supposed to to boss these guys around and get them into shape. >> No, we don't do that. >> You don't do that. Okay, that's good. >> Um leadership stuff. >> Yeah, that's great. Uh so I know you have met with with Shannon uh yesterday. So, she kind of broke it down for you a little bit, but this is our our procedure that comes straight from our board um manual and uh we'll take some time to review it, ask you guys some if you have any questions for the board and uh how we want to work
020together and I think talk too about the advisory vote and how we want that to play out in meetings. You know, there's times too where advisory vote I'd say 98% of advisory vote is appropriate. Um maybe 99% of the time, but there may be times when it might not be depending on the situation. Uh but we just kind of want to talk about your comfort level, how we make sure that your voice is elevated. I know that you guys have some ideas too possibly about how you can get this the student voices of maybe even our our elementary or middle school. So we can talk about that too. Does that sound good for the board? >> Yeah. >> All right. Ch, you want to kind of take through the whole >> Well, I think just
021the the responsibilities. >> Okay. >> Well, also something we need to look at real quick and that is that the purpose of number five that we're looking at says they will not have the right to make motions of vote >> and that should be >> pass a binding vote. Yeah. >> Where is it? >> All right, let's go. Yeah, just point. >> So on on purpose, the purpose of student board represented representatives to the Quincy school board of directors is to serve as lazons between the board and the students of Quincy School District. I I'll just say in the past you guys have been great about giving like high school reports but yeah there's ways to incorporate the younger kids title means. >> How do you guys feel by the way about the word le
022do you know what that even means? >> Yeah it's kind of like I don't know explain it like the way I see is like kind of like connecting this like >> the bridge >> like yeah >> um there will be up to three student border senators at all times. That doesn't mean you need to all three be here at the same time, but we'd love to have you. Uh, student board representatives will provide insight and support to enhance the board's understanding of student issues and perspectives and aid the board in recognizing efforts and impacts of the policies it adopts on the students uh of the districts. >> Last year when we had the the beginning of the year when we had the dress code conversation, >> no. Yeah, I remember hearing about it, but I
023wasn't exam because one of my classes at the college was like the exact same time that the meeting was. So, I was like, I can't. >> So, that's kind of when we're talking about maybe not 99% of the votes are are great and one might not be great because maybe you don't want your opinion to be heard or it's inappropriate for you guys because it's above all of our heads. But like that was a great Y had a lot of information to share with us and was very upfront about it. you ever talking about a conversation point or something that impacts you guys or your friends or anybody you know directly we're not living in your shoes and we love to hear from you guys how decisions we make impact you >> know you guys
024are the experts at being students I I my expertise expired around 30 years ago so I am I am by no means an expert I live with some students but I only live with four students and we have 3200 in our district so um you We really rely on you guys to be the experts. >> Yeah. Uh student board reps and reports will serve the student body's voice both the board uh both to the board from the students and from the board to the students. This should allow the board to receive credible feedback from students at all levels across the district and to hear input from the student perspective. continue with the theme there. Student representatives will participate in board discussion but will not have the right to make motions vote board offices or attend
025executive sessions. We're kind of abandoned that I hope you Shannon had a conversation about that yesterday or at some point advisory votes. We'd love to have you guys share your opinion with us when we get to something. >> The policy allows for that. Yes, we'll we'll rewrite this. >> Number five is the one we're have to make some changes on. Okay, >> guys. I want to go back to you, Chad. And Chad and Dana, too, is for leadership. How would you like the board reps to notify? They're not going to be just use that remind chain. Does everybody get that remind message from the students? >> I don't I don't I don't I don't have the >> Okay. But we can work with just to get it on get it on there or because it
026is nice to know when we're not when you guys archive the community. >> Yeah. Um text us a lot of times like asking for um I'm not sure if she did today but she did text us last week after >> Yeah. Um I just I just got over text usually so but I I really did. >> Is texting the best way for you guys? >> Yeah. I mean I mean >> I get both. It's more delicious. >> Andre, do you get the reminders? >> Yeah. >> Maybe we can set you up with Jessica Jojo. So you can we can make sure that you get the reminds because I think with the reminds is good. It tracks everybody's communication. >> Um it's just kind of for everybody's everybody's safety. >> Yeah, that's what you have. >>
027Yeah, I do. >> I texted the >> Okay. Did you get the students? What? >> The student board text messages. You got this. >> Okay, I will I'll talk to Jessica. >> I don't think I'm okay. >> Okay, sounds great. >> Text down. >> I mean, I don't mind being reminded because when the meetings move, that's when I arrive to the wrong spot. >> Don't mind. >> So, we're saying um to modify number five. Okay. >> Yeah. >> No. Well, kind of. Sure. >> Like, so we we we don't have the will to make votes or >> that's what they're thinking about that specific part. >> So, when we vote on say the the policies like we did tonight, >> like that decision whether they pass or not, that's for the the regular board members.
028But what we can do is allow you an advisory vote. So we can ask for your vote first and you guys can vote. It's not binding um but allows you to have a voice in >> whether or not you approve. >> So it sounds like a good idea honestly. >> So that would be you know I'll make sure that you guys have your board agenda. I usually send them out on Fridays to everyone. I'll make sure that you guys are included. So there comes a little bit of you know part of this gig comes with a little bit of homework. Um, so you know, you can read the policies and procedures and there is no silly question at all. There's there's so much jargon and ede um in a lot of these policies or RCW
029or federal law. There's they can be very complex. Um, so don't be afraid to ask any question. Okay. I have a question related to like how they cast their advisory vote because what we're not asking them is for like a roll call that right that would be a lot of pressure. So have you guys determined how to collect that unified vote? >> Nothing has to be unified. >> It doesn't have to be >> and how is it an advisory vote? So it's one vote for all three. >> No, I think okay then I totally missed it earlier. I apologize. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I think that's a good clarifying question because I didn't think about it. So, >> okay. I totally whispered. >> Yeah, I'm okay with that. >> Sorry. What does hold board offices
030mean? >> So, they can't be president. >> Oh, they will not. Yeah. Okay. >> So, we can modify that to still keep that qualifier in there. >> Um, >> yeah. >> Okay. Uh did I read you said students will report to the students of of good school district about the work of both the district and the board. >> Is that fair? Is that possible? >> Yeah, they've got a lot the district. >> Do you always feel like you you have time? I sometimes go and talk to like teachers >> and and leadership. Are you still leadership to share? >> Talk to her. >> If there's like anything big going on, she lets them know. >> Okay. So you guys are on the leadership. We can speak >> leadership speak with student. Are you on leadership?
031>> I No, not really. I I got a Q&A so I don't really know. >> Are you on ASB? >> No, we don't I don't really know what's going on with ASB or whatever. Um I I don't know how that's going. Um it's it's really confusing. Um, last year we were talking about it and like I think it might be now like in the hold of the um the teachers there. I don't I don't really remember as much. >> But you guys have an opportunity to check in every day as a big picture group though, right? >> Yeah. >> Like every morning, don't you guys start out with the check-in? >> Yeah, it's like Yeah, we have like a morning circle and we like ask questions. So you have you have you have access to
032your peers to say >> how's it going or these are things that I'm seeing >> yeah maybe we should miss home >> okay >> how often do you have like do I still have >> yeah um we usually have somebody during like um spirit weeks and all that but we do have um ASB does meet up every Monday because it's our advisory class so yeah we do that and then leadership is every day as Like right now they're just getting ready for them coming and like doing posters for sports. No. >> And say you probably have about one one a month. One of the month one every other month. >> Yeah, like every other one. >> Yeah, cuz we just had one like two weeks ago, I think. And the next one's probably not going
033to be. >> Okay. The student board reps will represent Quincy School District students in accordance with the following qualifications selection procedures and responsibilities. So now it's kind of the details of what you're doing here. Uh term of office. You'll be selected for in spring for the following school year. Term of office will for one full school year beginning in September including in June. We do have one July meeting, one August meeting. Uh in the event of a vacancy during the school year, student will be selected from the qualified applicants to serve the remaining uh term of the school year after going through the set of applicants uh and interview process. Uh all student board repress will carry will serve a one-year term unless the board decides to reappoint a student to a second term >>
034with your approval. >> Yeah, you've been told we have not we've never it's never been official. We've always second turn >> but it's a question right we asked >> or you need to perspective back >> you just show your bag I don't think I don't remember anyone asking me >> yeah that you're back >> did you watch the back okay >> I mean I would cuz you know it was a two-year term >> okay >> but it says one year term >> it says one year one I don't understand doing the interview or not, but they said it was two years. Yeah. >> Let's change. >> We want you back. >> Yeah. >> We never had a student. We haven't wanted it back, you know. So, >> yeah. >> So, qualification students must be attend
035Quincy High School or Quincy School District and be in grade 11 or 12 during their terms as student representative at either QHS or QIA. uh at least one period a day. Each student representative must be in proper academic standard equivalent to the requirements for participing in athletics or other student activities and must maintain proper academic standing throughout his or her term. In addition, a student board representative must be capable of working effectively as a team member and exhibit good character. Student board representative must gather information regarding school events or concerns and be willing to convey them a student opinion to the board and report forward deliberations and actions back to the student body. a collection of students will become non- voting members of the Quincy High School Associated Student Body Student Council. >> Okay. >>
036Why is that? >> I think actually that's the piece I I want to definitely prioritize. >> Yeah. So, uh Andreas has because you're on student council loose because you're in ASB, right? You had a big student council meetings. >> Yeah. I didn't get to go yesterday because I had class in the end of eight. So I was going to delay >> and I'm during I'll reach out to Miss Gome so she knows that that she reach that she reached out to So you're on the the student council >> student council um they choose the students from their advisory classes. >> Okay. But yeah I'll let her know about this procedure that as the board rep automatically. Do you do you attend them? >> Yeah because I'm part of the B so we lead them. So
037>> Oh cool. So, um I'll So, I guess next council meeting you get to go and loose. Can you I'll call Miss You can look out for Okay, cool. >> Good thing I can't lie with mine. >> Yeah, >> the application process. Let us know if any of this wasn't followed. The student Oh jeez. >> The student will submit a student representative application to an ASB adviser. The students must submit two reference letters at least one from a teacher or administrator. Selected applicants will be interviewed by the QSD superintendent at least two board members in the current student board represent student board representatives. Students should be allowed to take uh the lead in asking questions conducting the overall interview. The interview committee will recommend representatives to the board for approval. Uh should the board not
038decide not to appoint a recommended, the interview team will recommend another candidate for consideration. We didn't do what letters uh removal. The student board representative serve at discretion school board. The board may remove a student representative for failure to fulfill his or her duties uh for failure to maintain academic standards or for behavior that the board deems inappropriate or unacceptable as student board representative or as a representative from the district. And how that one's played out before is if the student board maybe they're failing the class or not doing well in class, they've stayed back like if we're going the games round table or uh a WASDA event to make sure that they are passing all their classes before they go on an event. >> So passing classes, it's not a problem. >> All right,
039into the meat of the subject here. Responsibilities. The student representative will adhere to all all the rules and regulations pertaining to schoolboard members. Should we highlight some of the rules and regulations to us? This open public meetings clearly apply as well. >> Y so anything we say in the meeting is archived, right? We videotape all the meetings. So everything we say can be pulled up by anybody that watches the meetings, right? Um any correspondence we have amongst all of us is subject to public records request and you guys would be subject to red since you're students you should be shielded depending it doesn't leave it doesn't >> if you send a text to all of us that's not good >> if you send an email to all of us that's not good >> that's why
040we use your mind >> right so I think that's where it applies but I mean you three can talk you you can talk about two of us at any time but us three we're just three, that's not okay. >> Yeah. >> Or three board members like, "Hey, we really want to hear about like um you know, we want to paint the school buses green. We three of us want to hear what you have to say about green school buses." And but that's outside the meeting. >> And I we don't expect you this this is not on you guys. You're you're the students. You're not supposed to say, "Uh, sorry board members. We can't do that." But that's kind of what that that's what that is. And they they're all really good. Our board does a
041really good job of following that. But again, sometimes it's texting is so convenient and you guys are used to texting with all your friends or do you you guys don't text anymore? You guys Snapchat? No one text. >> Yeah, >> Discord. So, >> Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Um, so uh it's it's sometimes really convenient to include all the board members, but it we can't have all five in a conversation stream. uh attend all regular and and we should say all of us are available if you have any questions about any of it and Shannon is basically the leaison kind of take that >> yeah so if you have any questions start with Shannon then if she can't answer it by all means like and the rest of us are here to support you
042guys >> also the rules not speaking for the board >> yeah does that make sense can you expand on that >> so if someone if someone were you know, say, "Oh, we want to paint the school bus screen." You say, you come to them instead of saying, "Well, my opinion would be a big deal." You say, "Yeah, the board wants to do it." >> You can't do that, right? >> So, you can't speak for the group. You can only speak for yourself. And you have to make sure you clarify that you speak. >> And then usually I just encourage them if you if they have a strong opinion to come to public. up to here. >> I would redirect your energy. >> Students can show up. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Come to public. >> Yeah.
043>> Uh we ask you to attend all regularly scheduled board meetings which occur while school is in session. Since regular board meetings occur during the evening hours of a school night, the Quincy School Board may grant permission for a student representative to leave the meeting uh before the conclusion of if the student board report has been given. Regular board meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month either in the boardroom the at the district office or the Quincy school in the Quincy school building. But advanced scheduling in the event of afternoon meetings students will be will obtain a parent guardian permission slip to uh miss school during that time. So we ask representatives that you come to our meetings. Uh dress appropriately for board meeting to professional standards for attire and
044grooming. um attend special meetings and or student sessions if requested excluding executive sessions. So unfortunately things we talk about in executive session are are we say private. >> They're they're protected under state law that that they can only be discussed at that time and they're usually subjects that have legal ramifications and we don't want our students to be caught up in that. Yeah. Attend special meetings of or student sessions if requested excluding executive design that review the board packet and reading material prior to all regular board meetings in preparation to effectively participate. So like we said we want you guys to have an advisory vote in order to vote effectively right or ask questions that maybe we haven't thought of. It's best if you get the material right. I know it can be a lot.
045So, wait, when do we So, we we get the agenda before the meeting. >> Yeah, I'll give it to you on Friday. Okay. And then you'll have it over the weekend and Monday to review it. And I know you guys are very busy with lots of things going on. So, um you know, just do your best. I don't expect some of those contracts are really confusing. I don't expect you to understand or or read every line item by line item on some of those those especially the contracts. But the policies can be confusing. But I think if you have any questions at all like what does this mean? What does this sentence mean? And uh email me or email or leadership sh or actually yeah go through Shannon. >> Yeah. I think that's the easiest
046way to do it. Um and then you can help you. So you know I always encourage ask a question to the board too. That's we'll learn from you guys. >> Uh discussions at regular open meetings the board when applicable. This can be accomplished through active listening, voicing opinions, asking for clarification, or other appropriate methods. However, the student board representative. Student may not take any motions or vote. That's so that's another one. Oh, here we go. Student may participate with the board in advisory votes on agenda items as follows. Immediately before the vote, the board votes on an agenda item. The student board representatives will be provided their advisory vote whether procon or state. So, we need to work on the apparatus for making sure we ask for that advisory vote before we vote on anything.
047Uh provide reports to the board during the agenda. Uh item entitled student board report, which you guys did great tonight. The report will include information on student activities as well as other topics that concerned by the student council uh may choose to appraise the board of refrain from committing this the school board the school student council to any position or action that has not previously been approved by the ASB. So similarly to like Casey was saying about committing the board to something don't commit your peers to anything that you guys may not have voted on. >> What's that? A prize and seven may choose to surprise inform may choose to inform update or for you update. >> Yeah, >> which I think I might because >> old English term, >> right? >> Little fancy there.
048>> Perfect. um report board deliberations and actions to the student council is applicable and the school district students in general when appropriate. Student board representers will work closely with the ASB to address any issues or concerns in an effort to improve school conditions. Fulfilling this requirement necessitates that a student representative will actively be involved in student life and be able to gather information on school activities. I got to ask, is it free for them to go to student life activities? >> Uh, depending on the activity. Um, I would say for the majority of all the activities you guys get in for free. Correct. With the exception of what? >> No. Um, like games, like football games and all that, you can get in for free if you have ASB, >> right? >> But >> if
049you don't have your ASD card, you do that. >> Yeah. And then like moving dates and all that, it's usually like only if you're helping anything else. >> I believe isn't I have to check on the ASB thing. I think if you have a a hardship, we can wave the ASB fee. I believe that same thing with the fances to get that they have. >> Yeah, that's is that correct? >> Yeah. If you have ASB, you get into the dentist. >> Then I know if you have a financial hardship, you can go to the office and let they >> and they let you in. I think it's like the the free lunch thing that they do. >> Yeah, >> they do qualify for free. >> Yeah, >> you can get for free and then you
050can get the dances for free as well. I think the little thing like the little club fundraisers like the dances >> like coming. >> So you can do that now? I didn't know you can do that. >> Yeah, if you paid for, you don't have to pay for the ticket. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. Okay. That's abusing. I didn't know that. I honestly didn't know that. I I paid for like all the I want to. So, >> I think you should ask ask when you're going to go get tickets. >> Okay. >> Well, no pressure on the next one, but Orient News and Border Representatives. >> Loose. It's already begun. >> Yeah. >> Learning. >> You're doing a great job. >> Yeah. >> I try. I try. uh participate in board training sessions including out
051of town professional development when invited. Student board reps may also participate in other board events or visits when appropriate the i.e. school visits. Um when these sessions or activities occur during the school day, you will um follow the established pre-arranged absence procedure from the high school. So that would apply to like the law conference in November. If you guys want to come or you're able to come, you're more than welcome to. There's a whole you're not hanging out with us the whole time. There's a whole whole student >> involvement part >> involvement has rooms reserved for everybody for that event for last day in November for kicking around what we want to do we go to well it used to be Olympia but it's not Olympia anymore you go to CATAC and for the ledge
052conference and it just didn't you don't really get to connect with anybody and it was fun bringing the kids to Olympia and being able to see the legislative process in action um and Thomas you're you're the you know the alleged pro. You've testified, you know, all about it. But, you know, she and I were talking about today um it's part of the ledger role. Me, her, another board member and student reps connect schedule a time with Alex, Judy, and Tom to visit, connect with them, and then go to the actual capital instead of conference. >> All right. And then communication between student board represent board members. Student representative should not contact board members via email or other district approved communication platforms such as Remind unless instant feedback or clarification is needed. There should be uh
053more than one adult included in any electronic communication with students as a safeguard and professional boundaries. So I guess we need to establish that that's you and >> yeah and then we'll uh I'll talk to Jessica about everyone to similar page too. I I wanted to ask that's kind of like different than this but I wanted to ask about this um field trip the I don't what what is it like about >> so that's what we so what what we do and what we've been doing the last year uh last year we've been working on a common definition of what postsecary success looks like because it doesn't mean just college it could be career it could be trade school um and we have all the different state agencies OSPI I was wazda um higher ed
054we have you know um we have state college uh um representatives private college representatives and everybody has their own definition. So this last year we arrived on our own common definition. Then we're trying to identify what are supports that are keeping kids from being successful once they get there. So we spent a time talking through the past graduates. There was three Quincy graduates that participated on what are some of those barriers that kiddos had to being successful in college or a trade school. Then this year the focus could be on parents. So as parents, what were some of those barriers of getting your kids successful? So it's really important to have the students there because you provide that insight of what you're experiencing in high school now. Does that match up to the supports that
055we're offering or the supports you need and your families need for you to be successful once you leave high school? Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> This is year three, so you're coming into they'll orientate you guys as you guys members, too. >> Okay. Awesome. >> And there's a there's what probably 20 students there, >> maybe a couple. >> Yeah. So, you connect with other students from other districts, too. >> Yeah. Students, student representatives must remain polite and professionally respectful while electronically communicating with boards. >> So, no passing us out over text. Uh, student representatives must utilize electronic communication strictly about appropriate business and must avoid asking personal questions, communicating via electronic device only when necessary. >> That's it. >> So, we got some edits to make. >> Yeah. Do you guys have any
056questions? Any other questions for us? Loose, >> you're the senior board. What's some words of wisdom that you have for these these two newbies? >> Just have fun. Don't be scared to see what you think >> about everything you have put in the effort. >> Okay, chance you get lost. >> Oh, no. Um, we actually wanted to talk to you guys about going to the schools like the elementary schools and all that >> cuz we just heard from Shannon cuz we didn't even know that they also have like student councils >> and we want to like talk to them to see how they're doing like during school and like if they're having any issues at the elementary schools and schools. >> Sure. >> I can email like the principles and all that. I just need
057their >> So I think that'd be great. And then the principles um the meeting tomorrow actually on Thursday al together I can ask uh and it's a zoom meeting >> so um it'd be really cool because you can meet with them and kind of identify some times so you have all the principles at once. Um >> can the ask just be made and then >> basically someone coordinate a tour guide for them so they can >> do that too. Yeah. >> Go based off their schedule. >> Yeah. I'm just thinking it'd be very difficult to be talking to all five different elementary schools. So, if someone could coordinate for you. >> Yeah, because we were we were talking to Shannon about it. She said that we could all do it separately, too. Like, we can
058all get two schools and like do it that way. So, we're not like super >> And not every elementary has a student for running student council yet. I know Mount V, they just I sat in and watched their elections. They just did theirs. Mountain View has one. Um, >> does Pioneer have one? >> I don't think Pioneer does. uh and neither does George but there's still ways that you know we could hear from these elementary it's a sampling you know you could hear from some of our elementary students but that doesn't mean there's they don't have student voice in other ways so you know we could talk with those principles but you just start with two elementaryaries in the middle school that'd be great and just have a regular routine of how checking in on
059those those kiddos that'd be really powerful so um yeah let me you know as the senior rep want you and I to connect on that >> okay Yeah. And you're right. >> Basically a town hall for them. >> Yeah. A town hall or a listing session or or weekend. >> And uh I love the elementary student councils because they will they share some really funny things about >> that's like so cute to think of just like little little business people. >> Little business. Yeah. They're very serious. They have a lot to say. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> All right. Well, there's no further questions. I guess we can jury our meeting for tonight. I'm sure. >> So, let me >> 620 on the dot. >> Feels more.
