001question. I just starting everyone just because >> so anything Scott says can be used against >> Danny. Are you ready? >> I am ready. Good evening everyone and thank you for your flexibility. I'm joining online. Um I officially call this meeting of the Quincy School Board of Directors in order. And before we get started, I would like to acknowledge and welcome our two new student board representatives, uh, Honaso Jojo Rodriguez and Andres Arenel. Uh, everyone else, welcome. Very grateful that you guys are joining us this evening. Um, at this time, I'm going to invite everyone to please stand and join in on the pledge of allegiance. So, I pledge allegiance for nation. >> Thank you. I muted myself in case there was a lag. Um but I did recite it as well. Um so to
002start off, um everyone should have a copy of tonight's agenda. Are there any proposed changes or amendments? >> I move to adopt the agenda. Second. >> So, there's been um motion and a second. Um any discussion? >> No. >> Uh never mind. Sorry, there's a lot to read over here. Apologize. So, all those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> All those opposed. Okay. So, the agenda is adopted. Um next item is public comment. Are there any that have signed up? >> No, there is not. >> Okay. So, we'll move on to the next agenda item, which is the consent agenda. Um, is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> I move to approve the consent agenda. >> I second. >> Are there any questions or discussion? >> I have a question.
003Um, the renewal. So are we working on being his remind god bought out? Are there plans in place to identify a migration to a platform or say with that platform? >> Yes. So rewind got bought out by parent square an app called parent square and just from our general understanding is parent square operates more of like a social media feed. So once parents have that social media feed, any communication that gets communicated out, parents still saw the option to get it by text but also the app. So really what it would do is it would take the place of our current app um and the app and so effectively is going to phase out. So this will be the last year where we will have in mind and then Jessica is working behind the scenes.
004We've got all our back to school communication. Now, one of our big goals this year is to develop a communication plan with the lot of parent square starting next school year. So, but a lot of the same features the way we understand it will still be there. It just will be under parent square. >> Now, this policy and review that's not part of that, correct? We're just doing the agenda. >> That's the consent agenda. Correct. >> I don't have any questions. Uh, I did have a question on the personnel report resignations. I think that list is pretty long. >> We did have some people resigned. Um, and we've been able to fill most of it and these are from July and August. >> Is it typical for that to happen at this season? >> Um,
005we're seeing any extra moments. >> I I I have to go back and look. I can't answer that. Um, I feel I mean I I can't speak to every specific one, but we've been able to hire almost every one that we have that's resigned. >> Okay. >> Coaches are typical, especially at middle school, but we fill all those positions, too. So, we're fully staffed in athletics. >> No further questions for >> Okay. Oh, sorry. >> Say no further questions. Sorry. >> Okay. Hearing no further questions. Uh all those in favor please say I. >> I. >> Opposed? None. So the motion carries for the consent agenda which is now approved. Moving on with the agenda for reports. We'll start with Nick, our superintendent. >> All right. So we are off to a really strong start
006to the school year. I just appreciate everyone's efforts in the organization just making it happen. It's a big lift to bring all 3,200 kids into the schools. So, um we DJ and I have been into uh every school into a handful of classes. Uh last year or last week, we had um all of our kindergarters start. So, we had 216 kinders um day one, which is great. We had 215 so one that we thought we would get. So, I'm really making for that, especially with some of the regional trends. We're seeing a significant decline in in kindergarten students coming in uh to school right now that we're staying really steady. Um right now, we don't our our FTE um is looking really strong. Uh it's looking right at the budgeted amount and with hopefully we
007we could even up to 30 over the budgeted amount, but I don't feel real confident that number until October. there's still a lot of shifting happens with students coming in on the district in October. So that October one count will really give us a good indication of where we're sitting. But right now we're we're coming in right where we budgeted if not a little higher. So >> can I read though that down the road that we could perhaps combine couple of years perhaps as many as three years or uh before there's a change in our funding if it does drop. I mean, they're doing I don't think you caught or I read that they're giving you a little bit of leeway. >> I'm not sure of the proposed policy adoptions for the >> I think
008you're right. >> Okay. >> Workshop. >> Okay. >> I'd have to look at that specifically. >> Yeah. So, nice strong start. Uh again, this week is a really busy week. Uh we have Battle of the Basin with Brado on Friday. I know you guys are going to cover some of this, but really the wall of fame ceremony is at halftime. Um, we're inducting uh five people this year. Um, great class and then wall fame banquet is at 5:00. The board are welcome to attend. It's a really nice event. Um, and it's more of an intimate um, setting than just their halftime announcement. It's where people talk about what they really accomplish. Um, and it's really cool. Harry Weber with Ray Conrad. She's done some digging in the archives to really highlight some of his accomplishments
009when he was here as an industrial arts teacher. It was just really fascinating to learn about, you know, going back to someone like Mr. Conrad with the impact he had. So, his son is coming uh from Oregon for this even. So, it's going to be a great event. So, board's welcome to attend that Saturday, another busy day for all of our students. The marching band will be there. Um air quality we have been monitoring daily. Um uh we had to cancel our Friday night football game. We were allowed to play Saturday in Sila. So we did get that game in. We to only have it cancelled with eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter due to lightning. Um so we we got most of it in. So but then it was called for lightning.
010But uh we are monitoring air quality. I'm very thankful that it's improved this week and all signs indicate that we'll be able to have our game of spreading the problem. And then lastly, I want to touch about um there's a lot of chatter around a law called Alyssa's Law and that's a a handful of school security measures that uh as a result of um I can't remember I think she was student Alyssa was a student out of um Marjgery Stoneman Douglas. Uh, and this is a national law that states are adopting to pass to have certain um preventative measures such as single point entries, uh, buttons that would notify authorities, access to all law enforcement having access to our security cameras. What else is DJ? There's nine in total. Access control, two-way communications, mer access,
011notification systems, panic button, audio, and visual. that directly tied to QPD or law enforcement. >> So districts are supposed to have at least one of them uh in each one of their schools and I'm proud to report that I think have >> we have all nine >> all nine within our schools. >> So um you know just really proud of the district's work and how seriously that we take student safety care. So that is all I have in my report. >> Hey Nick, for the Friday night thing, do we have to RSVP or do we just show up? >> Uh you know, shoot me an email. How you and how many? >> Uh, I think I'm going to go with the plus one. >> Okay. >> Awesome. Uh, thank you, Dr. Bergman. Uh, now, uh,
012are we ready with the student report? >> There's one. >> Yeah. >> So, first of all, I just want to personally introduce the new student reps, Andre and Jonas. And um well for my report at least for sports I know there is soccer and volleyball. They are away but it's always best to just show support regardless. And then like Mr. Bergman said Friday ball game. Um be a freight that's going to go. Um they also have one on Saturday at home at 10 a.m. I think with the hotel. So if you can't go Thursday, you try to go Saturday >> for Is that girls soccer? >> No, that was for football. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Um I think for girls soccer they have a Thursday game against Brewster. >> Okay. >> And then seniors just
013had their senior sunrise. I know the school the AV leaders in the leadership class are throwing the spirit week to um I guess get people ready for the football game on Friday which is also part of the pep assembly. They're going to be announcing as officers and then introducing the sports and the football team and all that just to get people excited for that. Um, and then I do I just read right now that on Thursday there's going to be a family night at the high school which is like involving like life skills I guess best like ways to connect with parents and like your students and all that. So try to make it that if you guys can as well and then if you guys have anything else to report to. I just want
014to ask if can I do like a little survey survey with my Spanish speaking classmates but because I need the permission of you guys and then my principal too or both the survey and then I don't know what do you think about >> for what kind of survey what is >> a little survey like for see how can I help help them >> like to every student >> as a student board >> yeah can us how we can help them like >> better help them. >> Yeah. Because the big problem that we have right now is that they don't understand the classes or something like that. >> Then we need even we need even more translators or something like that. >> Okay. Well, that's something we certainly can discuss. Yeah. >> And that's why he
015wants to do like the online survey or something. >> I need your permission. If you say like yes and then I can ask to my brace pal Mrs. Baker you think so and then what she thinks about it. >> Um I had planned on sitting and hanging out with you guys and doing coffee or lunch or something just to get to know the three of you so you guys can we can discuss kind of board functions and all that and that's something that we can talk a little bit more about so I get a little bit better idea of how that works and then also run it by your principal and how the logistics of that works. But I'm gonna follow up with you guys within the next week to have coffee um and hang
016out and we can vis more about that. Is that okay? >> As far as I know, I think we're okay with that. Right. As far as as >> from our perspective at this point, it seems fine. But let's work out some keys. >> I don't think so. Um because that's part of the role as student board reps and it's not official board business necessarily. Um, but I think really maybe understanding what you like to ask and maybe bringing it back to the board to see some of the questions that you'd like to ask too might be a really good idea and then so the board can ask some input and then yeah, I mean part of your role is getting input from the students that you serve. >> So yeah, I think that would be
017great. I'd love to hear that perspective. >> Sure. >> A good idea. >> I think it's definitely a topic that I've also heard about. So, I think it's a great way and just for our new board members to see on number nine, we have these board requests for future topics and information. That's a great item for us to explore in the future. Um, and very curious and interested to see how you guys are interested in getting feedback related to that. But yeah, really great idea. Thank you so much and welcome back students. There's a difference when you're not here and I'm very happy when you're here. So, yay. Welcome back. um for board leadership report. I hope you guys have seen those minutes. Um I think the only one I really want to highlight is
018um in uh as followup really to uh Rita's questions last board meeting, uh we did talk about it amongst leadership related to the uh Quincy School District cell phone preolicy and and uh your interest in expanding to include the high school. where we're at is we're looking at reviewing what's already in place. How does the policy differ from the building level strategy and I think likely it's going to come up when we go visit the high school next time and bring it up also with the middle school. So, we want to involve the a building leadership and bring them into that conversation to see if it's a policy change or if it's just reviewing the strategy or also getting student feedback on how it's going. So, I hope um you are okay with the direction
019of that, but it's definitely going to be a topic we're going to continue talking about. Any questions? >> Dana, do you mention possible uh retreat date? >> Oh, I don't have that written with me. Do you remember that >> the 10th of October? >> I think you're right. We are looking at October 10th. Does that work for the group? And it would be a day like during the day, right? >> Friday. >> It' be during the day on Friday, Friday of no school. >> Should be okay. >> Uh, it's a lid day. >> Oh, >> does that not work for you, Casey? Okay. But we'll keep we'll look at some other dates. >> Yeah. If you want to offer some, we're just mainly looking at Fridays right now. And the goal is we would start
020the first half with just board and then uh the second half involve the leadership like building like principles into the fold. No, not principles. My bad. Uh district level >> director level. You're right. >> It's kind of but we just first need a date and to continue what we started. I think August uh July. Yeah, end of July. But yeah, we'll >> it all blends together at this point. Thank you. Um, moving on with agenda on policy review and adoption. We do have quite a few policies and this is the first reading. Um, does anyone have any questions or comments? >> I did on 3241P. Um, I'm trying to remember what the statement was. Hang on a second. I think it was something to do with the uh parents being notified and it had to
021be within a reasonable time. But I'm thinking, aren't parents always notified of any behavior violation? >> Yes. >> Okay. That's why I wanted to make sure that it seemed to me that they should be. >> Yes. Absolutely. Um on page two if it goes as the correction made the lengthening of academic term means the total number of school days in a single semester is defined by the board of and they crossed out directors and didn't replace the >> same question was like what you're director >> by the board >> page two of 3241P >> oh I see bullet point number three >> oh that's interesting okay yeah I see That's it. >> I still have more reading to do on that. Honestly, I barely skin the surface. >> No worries. If you guys have questions
022between now and let me let me know. >> Okay. >> Especially with the discipline, there's those are ones that sometimes take a little legal digging, too. Um it's >> really complex. Example, >> especially yes, because a lot of the language now there's in what OSVI has done, there's not a big difference between long-term suspension and expulsion. So then you're going to see a lot of the same language, a lot of the same procedure for both. >> Yeah. >> So that's something that I hope OSBI cleans up um within the year. >> I have a question on Oh, yeah. 3241P page 4 and it's just the addition of before excluding a student from transportation or extracurricular activities. Um I'm not sure what you mean by that and if you don't know the answer on top of
023your head that's okay. We could save it for another time. But >> what paragraph? Um >> it's in the red on page four. >> The first I see it. Okay. Well, what's a specific question that you have? >> I I'm not sure what you mean by that. Like, so before you do anything? >> So, for example, before we kick a student off the bus or misconduct, we have to notify them of the misconduct. We can't just say, "You're off the bus." >> or get a letter in the mail saying, "Yep, he he's not riding tomorrow." We have to notify them of the actual misconduct. >> Same thing with with with extracurricular. uh with with athletics with extracurriculars, you have to notify why they've been removed from this from the the extra extracurricular effect. >> Does
024that include like the athletes playing or because their rules are different and governed by the referee versus the students that are just in attendance to watch? Is there a difference >> there? depending on what the student's misconduct is. You know, if the student commits assault on the or starts a fight on the athletic uh or on the basketball court or soccer field, there's, you know, there's obviously the athletic code that would be enforced, but then there's also school discipline that could be enforced as well. Mhm. >> So yes. So yes, Dana, yeah, we can apply school discipline even to athletics. >> If it's like in a classroom situation though, >> yeah, if it's in a class, >> is that an immediate thing? >> Yes. So they'll be notified and then there'll be a letter you
025are suspended for 3 days and you can't come to practice for those three days. >> Okay. So thank you for that clarification. I wasn't too sure. Um if I can move on to board policy 30-10. Okay. >> So, um it's the first line. I don't know if it matters or not. I just know this is a recommendation from WASDA, right? But, um so the district is comp committed to complying with and usually it'll state like either federal, national like or state anti-discrimination laws. I just find it interesting it's not included there. Is there a reason for that? Maybe not. down below is where they're referenced uh with the legal references in the bottom of the policy, but no, they didn't include the clue document very hint. >> I mean, they're getting it from somewhere. I
026I would include it just since it typically references and especially with what our state is going through right now uh in battle of the federal government. I mean, it's just interesting. Um not that I have a position right now. I'm just saying usually as a school we're following state or federal or both. I'm not sure. Maybe leave it vague. Just something to think about. And then the other one I was a little confused is that the the non-discrimination statement the district will adopt. I thought this is the adoption of the statement. So that word will is just kind of throwing me off. I just >> I think it's probably common language to say that >> you're going to have it. >> Yeah, you have it. You will have it. >> And that is from the
027that generally is from RCW. You will adopt this the the policy statement. I mean, we can you can tweak that any way you want, but it's this. >> But isn't this policy that statement? >> Uh, it is that statement. So you could I I see what you're saying. You could leave will adopt because you are adopting it. It's redundant, >> right? So it's just the district non-discrimination statement is as follows. I don't know. It's just a weird it doesn't make sense to me. Um >> just something to consider. You don't have to change it, but >> Well, it also says that what it's saying then is the district will adopt a non-discrimin statement that must include the following. So it has number one which has the statement and then number two it has we I
028have to list the title of who who oversees those uh programs such as 504 title 9 and then three notice. So when we do a non-discrimination statement it is a big statement that is on all our hiring documents handbooks uh website it has to be publicized in a variety of formats. So if I left any one of those bullets out, I would not be in compliance. So that's what that's saying. We will adopt a statement that has all three of those things. >> Yeah. And I understand that. I guess it's for clarity or the district has adopted a non-discrimination statement that includes the following. >> You can say it just like that for sure. >> Anyway, that was it for me on my policy comments. Does anyone else have >> and really sorry the first
029statement like you said the district is committed to compliance I don't even know if you really need that statement to be honest because you are because you're adopting it >> right I mean as is it's I mean it's >> correct and you have everything listed below that you're that we're required to follow >> so I don't know if we need the declarative statement at the beginning of the policy in there if you look at what's crossed out page three that was already It's the same language. Yeah, we just restructured it. I see. Yeah. Oh, we're taking a crack at that. See what we do. Okay. I'm hearing no further discussion. That's it for the first reading. Uh, we're gonna move on to Oh, sorry. >> Do you need a motion to uh >> set it
030aside for No. Okay. >> It's just a review. Uh, next time for the second reading, if it's all good, we'll then make motions and stuff for unfinished business. There is none. There's no new business scheduled. Again, the board request for future topics. It's in there uh for board members to make recommendations. Um, we'll now move on to the work session, uh, which is a general assembly. If people would like to stay and hang out, you're always welcome to. Um, but Nick, I'll let you lead it from here or Shannon >> ledger. As soon as you don't have to stick around for this part if you don't want to. >> Super boring part. Do you guys want to get up and scatter or you want to stick around? >> It may be interesting. Up to you
031guys. >> Actually, they have many things. You're welcome to stay. >> I have some tickets for you guys. >> All the directors are >> Do you want to leave? Yeah, >> I can stay. >> If you'd like to stay, it's fine. It's up to you. >> Yeah. >> I can stay. I don't really have anything important right now. So, >> cool. >> Learn a little bit about how the legislation. >> Yeah. >> I don't want to leave theater and I want to pop. >> Do you have a role in pop? >> Yeah. You want to take >> Oh, nice. Okay. Very nice. Is there a a packet that you can look at? >> Am I >> You come over here. >> All right. So, just diving right in. The first two things was that there
032were two bylaws proposed. uh 115B was the board actually made it three. There was a proposal of a bylaw and then there was an amendment to that bylaw before straight >> and then there was a new bylaw proposal that's so as far as those three bylaws does anybody have anything to say or want to discuss on them? Um I did not see any big red flags that's pertinent to us. >> Pretty much just looking at the procedure. >> Yeah. However, the bylaw proposal number two. >> Yeah, sure. Go ahead. can I maybe just for Jojo just bring up to speed on just what this is exactly and how it works? And I mean I'm curious about people. >> Yeah. >> So there is a there is a period of the year where all of the
033school districts in the state can say these are the legislative and legal things that we want to emphasize on this year. So when our when goes to Olympia during legislative session, these are the things we want to fight for. These are the things that are really important to our school district. >> And Wazda is the Washington State School Directors >> Association. So they're they're kind of advocates for all school districts, boards throughout the whole state. So board members can say, I want this to be brought to Olympia and I want this to be brought to Olympia and this is really important to our district. This is something we want to emphasize on. So they'll propose that to WASDA and WASDA takes a collective vote agreement on all of those said things and and they kind
034of narrow it down and they hone in on what's really important to statewide and and what the emphasis are as >> that is beneficial to the general school districts and most of them. >> Okay. >> Wow. And then yeah and then they take those those legislative priorities and they fight for those things for us in Olympia during the legislative session that happens in Janu I think January >> January to March this year. >> Yes. Sure. >> So these are um what we're going over. We as a district didn't have any legislative priorities. We are in agreement with the majority of most of the state. Um, and we'll go over some of those priorities um, here. You'll understand a little bit long further along what I mean by that. But but we don't have any that
035we've proposed as a district. So, we're just kind of reviewing what other districts have proposed and deciding as a board where do we stand on what they have to say? Um, and how do we want to fight alongside them? Um, do we vote yes or no? And then once so on September 20th, they call it general assembly and I'm just speaking um, I don't know what do they call it? representative >> representative rep. >> I'm the legislative rep. I am the one that's going to vote on those things on that day, but I want to know from the board members what their thoughts are. Yeah, >> it's not just me. So, we gather, we go over what the proposals are, what the thoughts are, and we say, "Okay, this is where we stand on it."
036And as teaching where we move forward. So, this is just a prep for September 20th is the day of the general assembly, and then they they take it from there to Olympia. >> Yeah. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> I actually went to Olympia twice. Did you? >> Yeah, you testified. That's awesome. >> Yeah, I I testified the second the second trip to Olympia and the first time we were going on a tour just walking around the the area. >> Yeah, it's really really cool area. >> There's some cool buildings. >> Yeah, so >> took a bunch of pictures, so >> that's good. >> Yeah. >> Okay, so uh right off the bat is the bylaw proposals. Uh number one I wasn't concerned about. Number two, any thoughts or concerns on that? Do
037not pass with what was the board recommends. However, I probably personally would lean the other way. Um, >> I'm on number two. >> I disagree. Um, >> you would pass or not pass. >> But reading the board rationale, I can understand. Are they saying that they are also going to be liable financially blah blah blah if they do presence? >> Yes. But um I think the intention of the school districts proposing it are good and I agree with their their perspective and their stance, but I think it needs some weeding out. Well, but we haven't heard what their propos or what their Yeah, their proposed policy. >> So, they're proposing >> because isn't this what wants to >> No, this is submitted by Lynon School District that she central valley. >> So, the they're proposing
038this bylaw be put into place for in as far as WASDA policy goes as how WASDA operates. Okay, that makes sense. So >> W is proposing do not pass. >> Right. Waza says we hear you but we don't agree with you. >> I do. And so that's why I say I disagree. >> Sure. >> Which I I think I think was rationale is sound. >> Yes. >> And I haven't dug into the RCW that they referenced there. >> Um Yeah. I right after agreeing their statement. >> Well, just I do too just as far as like there's a lot of liabilities and things we don't want to cut off just arms and legs, you know, and whatever else might come to them if this were to come by passed. >> I would agree. >> Okay,
039moving on then. Uh the third one was also a do not pass for WAZA. kind of the same amen sentiment there. Uh position proposals permanent and legislated the association operations permanent legislated there were none capital facilities and school construction there were none. It's interesting >> which is really interesting but I think people really understanding that the funding and allocations that's where we get all right Z um really it all boils down to budget stability needing more funding stable funding um up to TK program um I want to I want to say something um >> for for us at QA we've had a lot of um like What what I've heard anyway from our from my teacher is that they've had a lot of budget cuts >> and um they had to let go one of
040our um teachers for math, Mr. Lenkey. >> Um so he >> Well, he's still there. >> Yeah. Yeah, he's doing that. Yeah, he's >> he's just doing online. >> Yeah, he's he's doing online full time. I just like I just wanted to talk about that. I just feel like funding is kind of dealing. >> It's a really big thing that we feel like we should focus on. That is 100% the same thing with everybody >> because I u I' I've seen a lot of like just budget cuts and it's just >> ultimately it's unfortunate because people sometimes don't understand that's not necessarily the choice of the district. It's something that's happening on a statewide level and we don't we don't our hand is somewhat tied because we have to pay certain areas, right? So, the
041money get allocated in certain ways. The best way to handle it is unfortunately does come down to some of the cuts that are being made. Um, but really blame state. >> Honestly, state >> because they're not there. They're requiring and requesting programming from us and having us do certain things, but they aren't also giving us the money to do those things. So they say create this program but do it on your own. We're not going to give you any money for it. >> And so that is conflicting along with our budgets. >> Yeah, that is huge. >> So yeah, just scrolling through >> I'd say number four. I mean that's also faster. I would think that would make Tia's life >> budget stability >> much easier. >> I agree. Um, I think all of the
042amendment proposals and proposals in the bing and allocation I agreed with the the the proposal and the legislative committee recommendation of do pass. >> I wanted to ask a question about that because they're saying that they want to alleviate collecting the data of impoverished families of what their income is. So, are we expecting the government to take our word for our impoverishment or >> which one is >> I'm in it's all day proposal. Sorry. >> Number eight. >> Yeah. Number eight. >> And then it also said include an additional funding factor for necessary rural andor remote small uh schools. Is this due to levies because we would >> I believe this is already all >> this is already >> in the documents like this is already part of their policy what this is doing is
043consolidating >> I read that okay >> so that I mean that's already there >> yeah so you got to take the what's currently current positions and all that jabber and then the proposed consolidation position is taking everything that was already there and consolidating. >> That's really all about that again. >> Oh, I can't agree with all of them. >> What is the world language program? >> That's like Spanish. Um any any foreign language program. >> Huh? >> Any foreign language program. So, Spanish, French, German, sign language is considered language program. surprised they call that world language when all of those foreign countries have to learn English. >> Uh but now so 10 11 were like honestly unless you guys have I'm really was in agreeance >> I don't have that legislative >> you have no
044notes on that Casey >> I'm I'm good for agree for most of the stuff too cuz There's a lot there. >> Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of words I don't understand. There is a lot. >> Jo, I want you to have, you know, full permission and comfort. I mean, you have a microphone on your face. There'll be people here sometimes. >> Sometimes you'll even have people that will come and give comments and and, you know, it can feel somewhat >> uh intimidating, you know, especially when you're up here, but you have full committee. Say, can someone slow down and please explain and clarify anything? Yeah. Okay. >> Slow down. I know. I have been told I talk too fast. >> Yes. Sorry. >> It's okay. It's okay. >> But you have the full
045right to do that. >> Um, moving into governance. Um, the very first one 16 parents and county are families are important stakeholders in their children's education submitted by Madison School District in Ferndale and the resolution committee recommendation of do not pass. Uh, I was not in agreement with the deal. >> I would send it first. I would be in favor of pass on that one. >> And I think the committee rationale is kind of a weak argument. >> Weak argument. Very. >> So wait, what is what is this one about mostly? Um >> so this one in other words, they want to take the wording the parents and families are important stakeholders in their child's education and they want to change it to say parents are the primary stakeholders. >> So in other words, >>
046and I think they should they are >> they are right. Right. So at the board we agree that your assess your primary >> right what they're doing here. So this is how it reads how their statement reads right now. >> This is what's being proposed. >> Right. So this shows the changes and this would show what it is >> with those changes done. >> J I'm I'm a do pass on this one >> by school district two school districts in place. This says this the rationale. So this is what these school districts said. This is why we want to do this. And the committee is the was the committee that provides this recommendation not to pass or not pass and this is >> their rationale for why they feel do not pass. >> Yeah. >>
047In our in our perspective parents should always be primary in a child's education. Like we're at their service. So in this situation the committee says do not pass. But if I when I go to vote on this, I'm going to vote for >> Yes, I think >> I would agree with that. >> I think this would be a good choice. >> Yeah. >> Um that was the only one in the governance section that I found um questionable. Unless anybody else has any others to discuss. >> That was the only one I saw there. >> I do I do 18. So the committee saying do not pass. I mean, I guess I don't understand why we wouldn't want board members to get training. Um, >> it's number 17. >> No, it's 18. >> Oh, 18. Sorry.
048Right. >> I see what it is. Like it's it's requiring it's setting [Music] >> to certain standards. Um, I think I think there's a level of training that we shall do and there's training that we have to do already >> and that's it's done. But this is what they're basically saying is that it's you know it's a volunteer position >> and you're making it very hard. You're adding a lot of burdens to people >> volunteer in this position you know to a degree that's that's much um there's more burden on training there than there is a lot of other public positions. >> Yeah. So do not pass. Got it. >> Do not pass. >> I agree. >> Um learning permanent and legislative there was a few that were withdrawn. So they are not applicable. >>
04922 climate change and education >> Do not pass as well. >> Yes. >> Um and why? Right. Because climate change, education, sustainability, all something that is a high priority of education. I don't think that I don't think that's a determiner of whether or not a student should graduate high school. They know about climate change. >> Well, and I kind of make sense. >> I'm not sure I understand 23 if anyone does. >> On 22 or >> Were you good on 22? >> Okay. 23. >> I I'm just I don't want anything additional. >> Be the greatest curriculum on the planet, right? If it's not coming with funding, right? uh you know, you know, there's been a push for personal finance, which I think every student should take it, but there's no funding behind it, right?
050And it could be very costly. There's been a push for computer science for all, which I'm a big fan of, but right, it needs to be >> uh 23 said day. >> Mhm. >> I felt like that and maybe Nick can clarify as much. I felt like that one was like a Um maybe if a kiddo has dropped out or has had to leave school for some reason that's what I initiate and or support legislation allowing students that meet the criteria for enrollment in every part would benefit from admissions again I don't I mean I agree with the due pass but I don't see this going because finance Yeah. >> Yeah. I guess I just don't understand what it even means. >> So, with this open a re-engagement program, so we have a program account
051called Open Doors. And Open Doors uh right now we serve those students out of uh uh Big Ben Community College where they can go and graduate high school within a year. DJ by a year. And what they're saying right now is 17, but the way this reads, we could have students as young as 16 going to open doors and trying to graduate within a year. Um, despite us not it really it I mean I I think that there's a really specific situation where a 16-year-old um needs to go to I mean it really is it's even beyond our school system. It's it's beyond alternative school even where nothing that we have done in our system has worked for this student. But even at 16, they used to go to school till they're 21. Um 17
052that makes sense because in the year they're 18 then they can go work. Um I I I would be a little hesitant with 16 just because to me it's very young. Um, and they still have a lot of time to make up credit and try things like uh online uh programs or big picture programs before they say, you know what, the traditional setting or the alternative setting isn't working. I need to go to an open doors uh program. >> Yeah, I think that's >> but it could be a child that was perhaps young in an accident long-term uh >> and we could serve them with on program >> issues. The way I'm reading this is currently students must be age 16. But >> sorry, can you speak into the mic? >> Sorry. >> I I
053would say this is a do not pass based on what you just asked a do not pass because if we are allowing the 16year-old to go with this what this is saying we want to wait. >> I think it was it was opposite, wasn't it? Currently students must be the age of 16 by September 1st. They want to change that so that they can give in by the time that they're succeeding. >> Um >> yeah, I I would be a do not. >> I think it's exactly what you said, but it's opposite. We want to say do not pass because we don't we believe that in our system, we have the supports and resources to help that 16-year-old, >> right? >> Maybe after 17. Yep. We can we can handle them for another year with
054our resources. >> That do not pass. Do not pass. Everybody said no, I'll forget. Hold. >> And just to assure you guys, at the end of the day, we do have a team that says yes or no to enrolling a student or giving them that option. We we do give the families every resource available to them. All right, moving on. Staff and permanent legislative. I think I had 27. >> I had 825 too. Okay. Look, do 25 first. Day 25 fruit professional certification. >> They said no recommendation. I would say pass. Oh, >> okay. Do you have any insight on that? >> So wait, what does it mean by um they cross it out? Like >> that that would be that that's what they're changing. >> So the cross would mean we're getting rid of
055this. >> Okay. Getting rid of this. >> No, I I would say pass. >> Um because it's an A, does that mean that there's a B somewhere? And it's in. >> Yeah, that's why it's all written. Funny how the current proposal already has stuff crossed out. >> I know, but it's not. >> Well, they have a 25 and then 25. >> I don't know if it was like an amended >> 25. >> It's an That's why if you look at the top, it says amendment to amendment proposal. >> It's interesting because in the peninsulas, are they both peninsulas? >> Yeah, that's interesting. delays a lot better. >> It's still probably submitted. >> Well, they submitted it and then it was amended. Then they another amendment. They changed it. So, this is what's being considered. So,
056they're just that way they're showing you what was submitted the first time as well as what they're >> and I agree with the do not pass >> on the 25. But the 25A pass >> pass on >> because it has the language in it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any other comment on those? >> No. The word do not pass there on 25. We agree with the do not pass. >> No, there's no recommendation. >> 25 we say pass. >> 25 would pass. Correct. Yeah. 8.5. >> Okay. Uh 27. This one is a repeat from last year and I still think I'mma pass on it. And it just really the committee rationale is more in regards to worrying about the consequences of the staff and the student. But >> I don't know. And does anybody else
057have any concerns on that one? >> I could go both ways actually. >> I don't see where it's a that big of a change. I mean, >> it's I look at as just kind of defining >> the current statement further. >> So, it protects um >> people that are in like school athletics basically >> and judges, officials, volunteers, >> people that are subject to bullying, whether it be students or parents. Oh, and there is that. >> I don't know how this would necessarily create more liability. Liability is already there >> otherwise. Yeah. >> Well, and it's it's a just it's a statement anyway. It's it's just >> they're going to initiate or support legislation. It's not actual. >> Yeah. I I >> Okay. >> So, are we saying do you not pass or pass? Well,
058I would think pass. >> I think pass just because I appreciate the further detail. >> I would say pass. Me too. I don't know why pass say pass. >> Huh? >> I would say pass, too. >> Okay. >> Well, >> go ahead. >> One second. I'm like, wait. I'm just trying to it just clarifies and um expands on the athletic officials, right? >> Right. >> Yeah. >> But they're saying the rationale it complicates it. Well, I guess it the only thing it really adds in there is adding instead of just athletics, it's also other extracurricular activities >> beyond athletics, >> volunteers. >> So, this is, you know, any school sponsored event, whether that's, you know, FBLA or >> what have theater, choir. So I can I can see that but I don't know why you
059wouldn't want to have support that support legislation protected based on the rational more clarification on wording. >> Oh maybe >> that's interesting. I'm curious if when they're supporting legislation if that includes also like WIAA legislation or rules. I think they're comparing the two. >> Okay. Well, I'm gonna put a >> Yeah, I just don't get where the committee's rationale is that it poses new and potentially harmful consequences for >> issues for districts potentially create more liability. I don't understand that. >> Maybe they know. >> I can see the liability because it's extending to extracurricular activities. We already have that. >> We want those being hidden. >> I won't. >> Yeah, I'm a do pass. >> Yeah, I'm pass I would get a pass on that. >> Well, I think you know too, we can't find
060referees hardly because it's a it's a scary topic for the referee, >> right? >> Yeah. >> So, that's interesting. >> All right. Emergency proposals, permanent legislative. There were no which wraps up our general assembly discussion and workshop. >> And this is on the 20th. >> The 20th. >> Okay. All >> online. >> That's nice. >> It's going to just breathe on time. It's going to go fast. >> Be a fast one. I think >> last year I think it was from like 8 to 3. We're done by noon. >> I think you're right. >> I hope I say that. Watch. >> That's true. Do you know if it's possible um to just watch the assembly without >> Yes, there is. >> Yes. And >> says that in the handbook. I believe >> I'll have to
061go in and find the way to do that. >> If there's a link or something, um I'd love to just see it for the first time. I haven't ever experienced it. >> Yeah. >> Wait. Uh what? So if there's a going to be like a meeting, right? Yeah, >> a Zoom meeting. >> Zoom meeting. >> I would like I also like to watch it too. >> Yeah, it's under the general assembly link in the Wasow website. If I can email we'll Yeah, Sham will email that out to you. >> Watch the non-delegate broadcast. You can watch the broadcast. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And Jon, do you do you want do you want to go Jonas or Jojo up here? I've known you. Either either is fine. Either one is fine. I mean Yeah, it's
062fine. Either way. Well, we're good day. >> Okay, that concludes the work session and our meeting. So, there's no further business. I officially declare this meeting adjourned. Thank you all for your participation. >> Thank you. Finai everyone.
