015get benefit from the dues that we're paying uh as well as for the illegal alliance um we are able to purchase uh software and stuff that sort that is necessary for us to be legally compliant as a result of being members of csba and so that's why we're paying our membership dues as well as uh supporting the legal alliance the legal alliance is a way in which uh school districts basically put together money so that we can go ahead and have csba take on lawsuits sometimes those lawsuits to the state itself when the state tries to go ahead and shortchange us uh for certain money that they owe school districts and so it turns out that it's a very it's a very beneficial um uh expenditure on our part uh we've seen that come back

019and any additional costs that may be out there as a perception by the public that it there may be to taxpayers or not may or may not be thank you trustee vegeta i i'm gonna turn it over to colvera i believe we have asked dale to be also available for a brief summary of this item so that to your point you know for transparency purposes we will remind everybody this has been a an item that has been brought to the board for a number of months now and we're just part this is just part of the timeline very specific information because i know that the the newspaper interviewed us that the tv stations came and asked i was not able to provide specific information and i told the public because we cannot do any decisions

020or a speculation or prediction until we have voter approve approval for this so i see mr scott here on the screen i think he will be able to provide a summary of what this item is all about is that okay board president yeah uh go for a deal thank you good evening um courtney jones with the law firm of jones hall is also somewhere in your in your another world and if any questions come up we'll want to bring courtney in for legal questions as well this measure proposed measure and resolution will reauthorize bonds that were originally approved by the voters in november of 2012. i have a short presentation very short presentation i'll walk you through that process and then we'll talk about the projects and the resolution and courtney and i are happy

021to take any questions so if i might share my screen [Music] as the superintendent noted there has been a fair amount of work done on this to date you may recall that we did both a survey of staff members to determine the desire of staff members to have teacher staff housing built within the district we also did a survey of voters regarding many of the other projects that are being considered under this financing and geo bond as well as their attitudes towards the district the results were presented to both your housing committee and to the district board in june courtney and her firm as well as working with staff of the district and our firm developed the resolution you see in front of you today and here we are in the middle of july board

022action if you take that action and i will note that it takes a two-thirds vote of the board for at least four yes votes if you take the action to place that on the ballot uh it'll be filed with the county in august there will be a period of time when both supporters and if there are any opponents can file rebuttals that can be placed on the ballot and then we come to and i have to get over calling it election day because of course we don't have election day anymore we have election month which begins in october but the final election day of november 8th when we find out if the bonds were approved and then the bonds can be issued as early as early 2023 this measure is designed as what we call

023a reauthorization you may recall that the district passed 125 million dollars district voters passed 125 million dollars in 2012 under measure j of that amount uh 53.5 million dollars of those bonds have been issued and the funds used to improve district facilities the remaining 71.5 million dollars although it's been authorized by the public it has now come up against the tax rate limit that was put on the bonds of 30 per hundred thousand dollars of assessed valuation and you are s you're limited from issuing any more bonds under this authorization under the 2012 authorization the way the reauthorization process works is if the voters approve the new series of bonds we will use those bonds to essentially replace the old series of bonds we will do that through asking the board again only if the

024measure passes that the remaining 71.5 million dollars of the 2012 bonds be decertified meaning you can't use them in the in the future and we'll replace those with the new 71.5 million dollars of reauthorized bonds that you're voting on tonight in addition uh let me turn i'm going to come out of this i'm going to turn to the resolution you'll see in the resolution if i can point you to the document under appendix a in the resolution we have a project list the project list is essentially all of the projects that were under the 2012 uh measure which will allow you to continue with those projects uh more quickly than you could if you had to wait until the tax rates uh continued fell off and in addition we have included the ability of the

025district to use a certain portion of these funds to build and construct teacher staff rental housing for um for your employees i'll also point out in the resolution under appendix b we have the actual ballot language that will appear and the voters will see on their ballot and an appendix c what's called the tax rate statement the tax rate statement will be published in the sample ballot and if you look at the first paragraph i'm trying the first numbered paragraph number one of that tax rate statement you'll see that it's estimated that the additional tax rate of this reauthorization will be less than two cents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation i'm going to ask courtney if she has anything to add on the resolution and we're both happy to take any questions from the

026board thank you dale i will just add that this resolution has been drafted in accordance with all legal requirements and is the necessary formal step in the process of placing a bond measure before voters and as dale indicated the measure requires four yes votes for approval if there are other questions i'm happy to address any of those thank you uh for president can i just follow up yeah go for it so thank you for that uh that brief report i think it summarizes what we as you mentioned we've been working on already for several months and actually more than that in in reality um and i just i know the other thing that i wanted to make sure um that i asked about was the the me you know we have our needs assessment that

027we've had for a while and with regards to the often cited um and often needed or needed hvac air conditioning heating those types of things this particular resolution and item would not um prevent us from in the future still looking at those other facilities needs in being able to address them with the resources that are available to us as as a board is that correct that's correct trustee okay so that i just wanted to um i know there was some questions from the public that i had seen or heard um as some of those articles and interviews came out and so i just wanted to make sure that we reiterated to the public the the the facts of the situation because you know sometimes there's different misinformation that for whatever reason gets out there and

028so the clarity i think is important so thank you everyone for providing that and for president may i just uh share with the board and the public one more thing just so that to rest assured that our hvacs for the sites that are still missing hvacs are already being planned with the current bonds and so more to come about that but just so that this will not affect those kinds of things at all all right um i ordered president from you have a hand up let me uh make some brief comments really quick okay let you kind of dovetail with what has already been said a year or last year i went ahead and i moved forward and asked for a task force with regard to teacher and workforce how's it been developed and so

029i was a year ago we did this in public and it was just uh to begin the process of thinking about this and bringing it as a consideration at some point to the sport so we're now here and so i want to just make sure to remind everybody all the listening audience uh the public that this process has been very transparent it's been uh held in the open every meeting has been held open has been an open meeting and i'm very proud of the fact that we've taken our time to ensure that this has been done with the full transparency possible we went out there and interviewed our own staff through a survey and it came back with overwhelming support we went ahead and asked the voters uh if they were interested in seeing this

030move forward and so i'm very appreciative of the fact that we as a board as a district sport have made sure gentlemen would have done this just because it's important to do things right we went ahead and did a very transparent manner ensuring that we're not just throwing out resources for something that doesn't have a chance as we heard at the last meeting we saw a very very strong support from the public very appreciative of that and so i just wanted to make sure to kind of go through the um the steps that we've taken uh the committee the task force sent the unanimous recommendation to move forward with the project based on the information that we were provided and that was outlined at the last meeting so board vice president will go ahead and

031call you yes thank you mr president well uh you know uh you know in many ways this is sort of like the culmination of my previous work on the bond oversight committee uh you know we've uh worked very hard to diagnose the problems to uh propose and uh ask the important questions to bring about fiscal reforms and here we are in a position to reissue go to the people again and reissue these bonds and uh i'm excited that we are you know this is a historic step for uh our district uh as we all know uh alum rock has long been a low wealth district i mean i don't mean that but uh in terms of uh you know forgive me if there's any offense but uh low wealth meaning that our our property assessments

032are low you know are lower than uh other parts of the city of san jose and that has uh for generations disadvantaged uh our children our family their ability to [Music] provide the best education possible you know by by doing this we take the we take them you know our our most important asset we are doing right by our teachers uh providing uh helping to make a dent in the uh housing situation but at the same time uh you know allowing our district to uh unlike other districts to build a more uh sustainable financial future for ourselves through uh the prudent use of our land as well as uh you know in a way that does not uh burden uh you know that minimizes the financial risks to our community and the burdens to our

033families and just you know and hopefully you know by doing so uh you know we ensure the fiscal sustainability of alan rock going forward you know whether in times of changing economic conditions and varying enrollment this is a step for us to break out of the boom and bust cycles you know i remember you know i've lived through you know the great recession of a dozen years ago and i know that it took years for school districts to uh to recover that funding you know i'm hoping that with this measure we you know we take we take our own step to uh secure the future of alan law provide our teachers with additional housing resources and uh you know uh was it and to see this trick into its next 90 years so uh it

034is with that and i'm you know enthusia very enthusiastic about seeing this resolution uh being brought before the board today and i urge my colleagues to support it further comments from members of the board uh thank you um i'm also very excited to be here and be able to have this discussion um and this boat soon um you know i know we're far away from having the shovel in the ground however um i know that this is you know almost as important right to making it's kind of like the shovel in the ground in a different way um hoping that the rest of the community you know our voters um agree with this need for our district um and so i just wanted to voice those thank you del for walking us you know and

035being patient with us and explaining to us and drawing pictures and everything we needed in order to be where we're at um i know we spent a lot of time in the committee um and i you know again want to thank uh president quintero for bringing the idea forward um and you know taking the time to also invite other districts or even learn about other districts and their process um you know i i'm really excited because as i um see other districts who maybe have talked about this idea and have brought it up um you know we really went into action we really went into action right away and i'm proud of my peers and you know all the other committee members that um took it uh serious and you know we sat down um

036for many months now and here we are so just i'll also be supporting this and i hope my peers on the board also support this thank you further comments from members of the board all right so you know no for the comments we've already called for public comment uh give me a second let me just make sure you yes we have called for public comment and so i'll go ahead and call you as i see you there's no further comments uh board vice president board member hi board clerk hi board member travis no with my software and i the motion passes four one with chavez uh and dissension all right uh moving on to under 5.06 uh we have uh the approval of uh resolution number three dash twenty two four slash twenty three this

038the boardroom trustee pham i apologize because i have not worked on that i i was i took two uh weeks off and i haven't you know i just came back so i will go ahead and work with my team and we'll have uh an update for you in the august um 11 board meeting okay thank you thank you all right uh for the comments members of the board see none then i'll go ahead and call for the vote as i see you or vice president you've been this given the situation uh no uh board member aye board member aye board member travis aye was miss 49 motion passes for one with from an accident and ascension um all right moving on to item 5.07 this is an item with regard to the development of a

039blank laboratory library at alpha blanca alvarado school uh the item is for information only um dr bauer i wanted to go ahead and speak about this item this item came forward as a conversation with supervisor who mentioned that she had a significant number of books from various topics very eclectic collection that she wanted to ensure that uh was made available to um the public and to children in in a school setting and so it was for that reason that i went ahead and brought this item forward for discussion to see if there was the possibility of will from uh this board to allow that to take place i know uh uh the montgomery school sits on the sonicare site which is the property of almost school district so any changes that do take place there

040need to be authorized by the district so this reason that i brought this item forward um as i mentioned it was a conversation with supervisor roberto that spurred this in essentially a request to have it a discussed and so i'm bringing it forward for uh the body's consideration at this point let me let me go ahead and call a member of the public and then we'll come back to a discussion if that's okay with members of the board is there any members of the public wishing to speak on this item yes mr board president we have uh one member of the public uh shara hedge you have uh two minutes please i mean yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin good evening honorable trustees president quintero superintendent bower um so happy to speak

041with you this evening regarding the issue of the blanca alvarado library as trustee cantero said supervisor alvarado had shared with us that there was a significant number of books in her collection a pretty prized collection that she felt would benefit uh students in particular and that conversation was was a wonderful conversation and we were excited to explore the idea but we we did not have space at the alpha blanco alvarado school to make that happen so i think we were very curious to know if the board would be interested and excited engaged in to engage in this conversation further and to think about creating a space for these beautiful books so that our students and the community can benefit from it you know in the future and years down the road i want to be

042clear about a few things like alpha would completely bear the cost of this we deeply value our community leaders the school is named after blanca and we feel that this would just be an extension of that work that we've already done we also again i want to reiterate uh have no intention of growing in alum rock no intention of adding any seats and no intention of adding any schools so i just want to be clear in case there was any uh belief that this was a push to grow that that it is not um we honestly just want to do this to have a space for blanca's books for our community to come together and enjoy those books and to be able to come together post-pandemic and really uh rebuild after what's been a really

043challenging few years so i do thank you all so so much for your consideration of this project we would be happy to engage in these preliminary discussions with the alum rock staff and thank you again for your time and your consideration thank you for your comments mr board president at this time we have no more requests for public comment all right then uh if there's no further comments from the members of the public i'll go ahead and call uh members of the board i see you or as i saw you raise your hand uh award remember i don't know go first thank you board president so i have uh several questions about this um just for i guess clarification and some of them i think we're touched upon with the public comments that we heard

044and i'll just ask all the questions and then whoever may be able to address them can do so i guess after but the questions that i had are specific to just the wording of the specific item to discuss the development of blank alvaro library what the the word development i'm not quite clear does that mean like it sounds like it doesn't mean kind of like repurposing an existing classroom to put to create it into a convert it from whatever it's being used as into a library it sounds like an additional facility would be utilized for this and in that if that were the case then i would be cure or not for sony an additional room i guess um and in that case i would be curious as to you know where does where is

045that what is that room or where is that room um the second question i have is uh it's kind of like three related questions what number one is kind of like what are the books it's is kind of vague um so i don't i mean i'm curious about you know how many books are we talking about and i mean to establish a library are we talking about a bookshelf worth or are we talking about a whole room's worth um and also if if it's i guess another related question to that is the level of the books so i'm wondering are they like books my mind is thinking like social justice kind of books which would be awesome to have or things in that general theme but i'm just wondering are those books are we talking

046about books that are appropriate for elementary and middle school students or what what is it so how many books what's the level of um literacy or the level of comprehension necessary for them um and then the last part of my question is related actually to the first part which is um the space issue again like is there if it's if this is a request for an additional room um an entire room then it goes you know what is the current enrollment status of of you know the school and versus the space available so it's just just kind of fleshing out a little bit more details as to what this is that would really help me to understand whether or not i would be interested in or be supportive of um you know moving ahead with

047this so i know that's a lot but those were just the questions that i had jotted down if they could be addressed thank you um do you want to take some of those questions on um miss hector since is she still on the meeting her hands up so i'm assuming that she can respond to them hi i'm here i'm so sorry i was having some trouble connecting so board member behind i don't have a series of questions if there are some of them that you can respond to since you've also been in communication with supervisor correct yes um i do believe the question around social justice i do believe that yes many of these books are social justice oriented i cannot speak specifically to titles and reading levels um but would have the opportunity to

048look at them more closely then i could probably speak more in detail to that in terms of space we have occupied every inch of space on the campus so there isn't really an option of utilizing a current space for this we also see it as a place where students can come and read and so i think uh given that we you know i think an additional room would be probably the best way to to think about this um i think that there are a lot of details that like i could potentially get into here but i think first and foremost our mou states that we need to come and speak with the district and that means engaging with dr bauer and kolvira so i don't want to get ahead of myself because that is the

049procedure and process we are supposed to follow but i'm happy to collect all the questions and make sure that every single one of them are answered and just if i could follow up really quickly then i know it was mentioned in the initial public comment that it wasn't and like an expansion or an additional space but now it sounds like it may be so that would be part of the um the you know the question that i would still have is it additional space that the district is gonna would need to look at or you know because i kind of heard two different things there so that would be something i would want more clarification on thank you sure thank you yeah can you can you clarify your comment you had mentioned do you have

050an intention of expanding an element uh if you can clarify that for remember i don't know i think you're referring to the number of students correctly yes you know i think we uh alpha and alum rock have been in discussions about additional facilities needs our facilities needs actually go far beyond this one classroom um we are trying to figure out how to make it work with the space that we have and so this you know one additional space which we would be built out as a library space would not be used as a classroom space um that is not the intention of this ask whatsoever this is to build a library of this communal space where students can come together and our community can come together you got any more follow-ups good okay um the

051second hand i saw when you put it down is board member chavez do you no longer have questions all right yes i do have a question several um i'm just gonna let the yeah i just didn't want to confuse you because i wanted mrs uh cheryl to get on there but um so i i'm not opposed to them having a library but what um i don't like is having a vote on books that are under a certain uh criteria whether it be social emotional or social justice or whatever it is but i don't like voting on something if we don't have a list of the books and the author of the books is there any way that we can get that before we vote on this uh miss shara i don't think we can get

052that um before any action is taken but i do believe the agenda item is not calling for action it's just calling for uh engagement with alum rock staff because per mou nothing can happen on that campus in terms of building new space without clear transparent engagement from the district so that is i think the only request is to engage in that conversation i guess that's what i'm asking maybe next month we can see maybe a list of the books and the authors i will do my best to secure that for you thank you all right uh board member uh word clerk yes thank you um and i think uh miss hedge helped me understand a little bit more and um also support part of my questions and directions um and i know that dr bob

053and i had um a conversation before but i did want to mention and she did provide some answers but i wanted to ask her here in public and um and have the public hear the answers um first i wanted to find out and i think i want to say we had this conversation prior and i could be wrong but i wanted to ask if there was space at any other location within any one of our other schools our our schools at alum rock if there would be because i'm in total support of having this library absolutely in the east side where blanca lives where she's done her work um and you know i'm in agreement with i would like to see a list right before we um finalize and vote um yes um but i

054also know lanka and i know she wouldn't you know bring any inappropriate books or you know provide that to our community so um i feel pretty good about that but i'm in agreement that we should see a list um but the main question for dr bauer is is there any other space you know we heard miss hedge that they don't have space there and that they would have to build another space to have this library is there any space in any one of our other schools here on the east side um within our district in alan rock that might have um space for this library yes we have space in in some of our other schools okay um and you know i'm glad that it's on for a conversation and exploration really at this point

055right um so dr bauer whether it's next month or whenever we bring this item back um if we can maybe get you know whether it's a list or you know um yeah a list of where maybe that could be um and i'm not saying no at alpha i'm just hearing miss hedge um and all you know also thinking you know dr bauer just confirmed that we have spaces within our own schools where why not use a space right versus leaving another space empty and then creating more buildings to definitely honor supervisor blanc alvarado i'm in agreement of having that eventually and i think now is just you know finding out where um would be the best space for that um and then along with you know that i think what i'm thinking in the long

056run as much as i you know want to see our the this um the community and not disrupt right um students and our families but we know that um alpha has a lease right and um dr bauer can you remind me when that lease is technically up in paper june 30th of 2026. okay june 30th 2026 and let's just say that our board you know was going to support an extension of the lease um but we're not going to be here i mean well i mean we might right but technically right we can't assume that we're all going to be here um in the seats and so my concern would be that um you know maybe the board at the time wouldn't wouldn't support um elise um and this library would just have to disappear

057at that time so for me i'm also thinking of where would be the best location where it would be stable and you know it wouldn't just be an idea that was like great for you know four or five years and then has to do away with um so those are some of my thoughts for when we bring this item back um i'd like to um again hear where there might be space within our own schools here at ellen rock um and then also i'm in agreement with a comprehensive and maybe if it's too many i don't know you know there may be hundreds of thousands books who knows um but at least the general idea um and even like grade um average or um you know and maybe it's community um which is not not

058that i wouldn't be in agreement with anyone of that but i would like to know what um kind of books we're we're looking at um so yeah those are my points for now thank you president all right um where was president can i go ahead and uh and bring in some information that i received from my conversations with supervisor alvarado before i call you of course clarify um i had the conversation with supervisor alvarado and i also brought up the fact that we may have space in other locations um she said that it would make most sense for her books and a library named after her to go to the location that's named after her and so that's why the the item is written as it is uh because i that was my first reaction

059as well that uh we may have a space at other locations and so she was insistent on that this location made most sense uh so that's why it's written as it is i just want to make sure to bring that up to the board i would discourage the board from engaging in reviewing books that are going to go into the library i would leave that up to our librarians and our staff because we've seen what happens in many places in the south where board boards board of education members or the board itself are looking at individual books and making uh decisions on what goes on the shops and what doesn't and so that's just my my perspective as one board member that as a board we may want to uh stay away from the practice

060of of determining or which books are appropriate and which part and since we have a staff whose full-time full-time job is to take a look at our lit our curriculum and our uh our the things that come into our school so i would uh i would just encourage us to avail ourselves of the experts that we do have here at elm rock to look at curriculum books and stuff of that sort rather than us doing it um i don't know if you guys have heard some of the news stories from coming out of some southern states where they're out there uh taking out certain books from libraries and stuff like that um so boy rice president yes thank you mr president you know i was wondering i mean given uh supervisor alvarado's uh you know

061history in east side san jose uh i was hard you know and given uh you know uh given uh this district's uh expertise in managing a library and managing book circulation uh you know i think one uh i think one possible avenue i would like to put forward for uh consideration down the line is possibly upgrading one of our current school libraries to uh to be the blanca alvarado library uh you know um you know uh given the you know uh as i was brought up by uh trustee guerrero you know there there are the issue of uh permanence of this permanence of district schools existing facilities existing capacity for handling books uh you know i think that it would you know uh you know a feasible solution for honoring supervisor alvarado is to for

062one of our school libraries to be the the blanca alvarado library thank you sorry about that one battery was about to die uh so um board member chavez is the orient i think that blanca alvarado library should go in blank alvarado school thank you all right further comments members of the board all right um it doesn't look like there's any clear direction other than dr bowers are some sites that are available um i'm assuming that that's something that dr bauer can go ahead and engage and bring forward some proposals i would high uh i would highly encourage us to uh engage in a conversation with supervisor alvarado and see what what the books are and what and and what um what ideas she might have other members of the board may be interested in having

063a conversation with her that way it's not just coming through me i wanted to introduce it based on my conversation with her because that's the problems i made here that i would and so i wanted to bring this forward i'm not sure how uh we would go ahead and move forward is there an interest of the board to bring this item back with more information from the administration so the the options that there might be um more merchandise if the board wants to bring it back i think that we we should have another conversation as well as have the list of the books and authors prior to uh the meeting thank you uh board member thank you yeah i was just gonna say something similar i would for me um if it came back to

064us it would be helpful to come back kind of like as a written proposal that outlines some of the stuff we've already talked about um you know the space requirements maybe for me not necessarily every single book and every single title i can see the value of that though but for me it's more the level of reading um the level of the literacy literacy level required for the books that are being donated um access you know if if they're not books that are for uh elementary or middle school students and we're talking about a community library then what does that mean in terms of access of people coming onto a campus you know from off-site and you know so just those types of things a kind of more uh further what thought out proposal that

065i could have you know to consider and and not not such of uh i what i feel like what i have right now is a concept but i don't have um something that i could feel comfortable voting on so like i said a proposal with some of those details would be helpful in me determining and all the other details that other people have suggested in this conversation so in order to move forward then would you be comfortable with options let's say that the administration comes back with proposals on particular sites that might be available um the alpha folks can bring forward an idea or concept that they might be able to put together uh so that the board might be able to consider their the various options is that something that would the board wouldn't

066be comfortable with yes but you left one out about the list of the books and the authors all right um and if i could add to that yeah we'll remember whatever yeah i agree um it's important to see what the options are and then to make the best you know vote at the um at the end of the day and i think also if possible i mean i don't want our staff to um have to spend too much time on this and i know a lot of it would be um in this case speculating like the cost um if we're open to the community right um staffing but i think even a general idea of what you know a level of staff that would need to staff that library that's i don't know um you

067know have many ever days of the week hours just an idea um i think would be helpful as well because you know obviously it's not just opening up a you know building and you know here you go the cost kind of around that if that's not too much to add on this proposal um because it might you know at that point i might say you know what yeah let's have alpha just do it right build their building and cover the costs um again i'm in agreement i think you know i i believe that blanca alvarado should have a library in the east side um i'm just looking to see what the options are so that would be helpful to me thank you more memories yeah i also just did want to call out also the

068fact you know it is a factor in this for me that i think several if not all of us were here a few years back when we had to make a pretty difficult decision about our libraries in alum rock and so you know the fact that you know back to the question of access and location like it is a factor to me that you know if we had one particular um you know lit some books and stuff available at one site but we a few years back had to make this decision around our libraries here in alam rock it's just you know it's it's part of the picture for me too to consider how we are prioritizing that because we still haven't been able to or been in a position to come back around on

069that issue that we decided on a few years back with our libraries and see how we can um you know maybe kind of address that but so i just wanted to put out there that for me that's also part of the equation uh to for me to consider so thank you all right uh so i just want to go ahead and get everybody's see if i can distill everybody's perspective here from what i'm hearing so we want to bring the center back and we're looking at a options uh from the administration as well as a proposal that's more firmed up from the uh from the alpha folks and uh all right so i'm sorry i didn't hear the last words you said what did you say were the last words that uh we're getting a

070proposal from the alpha folks and then uh recommendations from the from the administration as to what sites might be available should you move forward with this library further comments members of the board talk about i just want to be clear in terms of the direction that we are getting from the board as a staff and i just want to remind the board that we went from you know this is going to be a one classroom or one room to a full-blown library i don't know whatever it is right i don't know the number of books at all yeah um and so without knowing some of those details we won't be able to bring any specific recommendation to the board i'm doing very honest the second thing is in terms of timeline we're about to start

071the school district the new school year and so we're in the middle of opening and onboarding people and all of that so i don't see from our perspective from our time as a staff to be able to do any significant conscious work within the next two or three months so i'm just being very honest in terms of a timeline you know in terms of us as a staff we just have a lot of things that we're working on including the re opening of our schools with a new reality that kobet has brought for us right so a lot of stuff a lot of moving parts on our end restarting the bond program uh now we're going to have to work on the the you know the workforce housing project so i want the board just

072to consider that in terms of timeline this is not something that we're going to be able to come and bring to you something meaningful within the month that's all remember can we get at least the list of the books the authors and how many books there is thank you all right let's square this away does the board have interest in going through a list of books directly or are you comfortable allowing staff to determine whether or not they're appropriate or they're on some list of banned books can we have both i'm trying to get a sense from the from the board in order to proceed yeah i would also like both i i wouldn't necessarily i think you it is you know your comments are very um appropriate in terms of us being the ones

073to determine what should or should not be there i think we do have the ability to consider the the level of um you know the book or whatever but i think i would like to know what those are but i think the decision if it should ever come to that should lie with educators to know what is the appropriate um you know level of of book for the students but i would like to know the number and and what books they are too as a board member yes the only thing i'll add is i'm gonna take it upon myself to visit her and you know see if i can look at these books myself obviously i can't commit to taking a list of every every book and author and i don't expect our staff to

074have the time within a month to be able to do that because as dr bauer mentioned right they're focusing on opening our schools um you know with early learning centers and additional um programs that we didn't have last year and so um i'm not opposed to having that list however i am opposed to having staff um completed within a month you know we decide to hear this i mean i'm hearing dr bauer i'm hearing all the you know to-do lists right that we have um so maybe i don't know two months three months um if we can put it so i think uh board president you asked if we're interested in bringing it back i think the answer is yes i'm hearing the interest um are we ready for it next month i don't think

075so so i think whenever you maybe and dr bauer believe it's appropriate as board president when you create the agenda and the needs i would be comfortable leaving it to you you know whether it's in two months three months um and maybe not for the final vote but at least an update maybe you know in two months uh what schools in our district might have space and you know maybe some of the basics and then maybe the following month up for um vote so the answer is yes i think we're interested in bringing it back um not i think i know and i hear um and you know in regards to when you know i'm comfortable giving that up to you uh board member i'm just saying have the list for the trustees within 30

076days staff you know they're going to take their time when as much time as they need thank you all right um so are there any further comments from members of the board uh dr bauer did you have a comment yes i trust each other remember we don't have the list we have to rely on the owner of the books to provide the list so i'm just very respectfully if we're gonna come up with any list we're gonna have to work with supervisor alvarado to see what she has we cannot just go into whatever she has these books and do a an inventory and that's the reason that i'm trying to be very mindful about the timeline thank you yeah okay can i say something yeah i i meant the district ask for the list and

077the books and the authors and then just go from there you know one step at a time thank you all right uh so it seems like we're in a very nebulous situation right now where the district's not going to have the time to deal with it either by now august september uh so being realistic if though if their desire is here then let's go ahead and shoot for a time so that staff can go ahead and attempt to uh deal with it if not then staff could just say this is not something that we can support we're overwhelmed and allow alpha to go ahead and do it um if that's the case and that's case uh board member yeah i i mean i to me from everything i hear i really feel like the ball's

078not even in our court right now i think you know we need to there's information that we need that we can't really move on anything until we have that information and and again back to what i was requesting like a more fleshed out proposal or idea um because without knowing all the stuff we talked about it's hard for us to direct staff to do anything so i feel like the onus is on um you know ms alvarado or alpha or whoever to come back to us with that information so we can do something with it because it's like you said it's kind of nebulous right now as it stands all right so i think we could take it from multiple angles they can go ahead and come up with their proposal and forward it to

079the board and then staff can eventually get to this item when when there is time and so we can just deal with it that way that sounds about right it doesn't necessarily have to be on the agenda next month it could be the following month or thereafter we can receive in writing proposals uh as long as they're sent to us individually you don't have to take action on them right away uh board member and i don't remember who raised your hand first travis i'll call you as i see you um so can we at least say this date like three months out so that i mean it doesn't you know go out too far as far as them being able to put the library should should the board vote uh board members yeah so i

080mean i think you know at any point anybody can bring a proposal i think we're not gonna vote i mean it's pretty clear that you know if it comes within the next uh before november we're all gonna be here we all mentioned our questions or not and so um until those questions are answered then we'd be able to to vote on whether that proposal or anything else so whether it comes in a proposal form or you know whatever that is um you know that'll be maybe up to alpha you know they might decide to bring in next month two months or three months but you know as as a trustee myself i wouldn't feel comfortable um voting on this item until i have the information that i've mentioned um i don't know if that helps

081or makes it even more uh blurry for you but that's important i think it's pretty clear at this point they have a proposal they want to move forward they can forward to us in writing and then the board will eventually take it on if we choose to take it on at a later date once we're able to get all the information we need so that's not my right am i recapping whatever getting a sense all right cool all right uh this is for information only so there's no actually taken we'll go ahead and move on to item 6.01 and those listening you have your your directions from the board based on our comments i'm 6.01 aboard a bid package contract 4 b 2 2 2 3 bond 0 1 a renaissance academy of matson you

082know because uh is there enough simulator i know the location is different but because it is paving is there enough similarity to combine items 6.01 and 6.02 um looks like most of these items are very very similar the question has been raised in the past to a council i think council has told us to go ahead and um take them on individually so i don't remember the caution the fact that they are um for their contracts and awards let's go ahead and do that do them individually okay can are you taking any motions now uh uh let me go ahead and pull a comment sure we have no request for public comment at this time mr board president all right is there a motion 601 motion uh motion by chavez second bye second by board

083for the thumb uh there's no further comments i'm going to call you the cu board remember hi board member travis aye world vice president thumb warfare motion passing myself 49 item 6.02 award-winning package contract that motion for 6.02 uh chop motion by board member travis second by second with further inform is there any public comments item no request for public comment at this time mr board president if there's no further comment i'll try to see you board member aye remember chavez hi vice president is there any public comment no public comment at this time mr board president all right see no further comment from members of the board i'll call you to see what remember about i don't know i board uh member travis aye board vice president founder aye board clerk hi with myself

084we're not motioned to pass unanimously item 6.04 uh there's a motion by a board wrestler on the thumb second yes mr board president we have uh one member from the public francesca coronado miss coronado you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin okay there we go i'm sorry can you hear me now [Music] yes we can hear you okay sorry no this is just a real quick question regarding um item agenda 6.04 what are the privacy slats and if you can explain that to me that's all i wanted to know thank you thank you for your comment mr board president at this time we have no more requests for public right um just an explanation to remember the public uh we can't get engaged in conversations with members

085of the public this is actually for the protection of members of the public because many times board members have been uh engaging in conversations in a very hostile manner and the public has felt uh intimidated and so therefore state law actually prohibits us from engaging in conversation with members of the public when we're in public comments uh board member i don't know thank you for that clarification more president and um kind of i guess coincidentally enough or just whatever i did actually have this question for dr bauer on a couple of these items with regards to the privacy slats i was also curious about what that meant and why particularly at these schools and so um i was going to actually have dr bauer or the team clarify that um for us great gopher thank

086you uh and calvera can you explain better than me what these are and why we have selected some sites for this thank you so much for the question yes thank you dr bowen good evening board president and members of the board um the privacy slack is essentially the coverings that you put on the fence so people can't see through the fence itself and we chose a couple schools because one of them is adelante ii where we have apartment complex right behind next to the schools where it exposes some of the kids um and so we're putting the coverings on those funds and then at the casale site there's a park uh near the school where we have to fence but it also exposes and have openings where um there's there's been incidents where um there's

087homeless encampments um where those folks are exposing themselves to the student so that's why we need to um install those safety features remember thank you for the clarification mr chang and also i just wanted to add that um you know i i don't believe that the schools identified the sites identified tonight are the only ones that we may want to look at but dr bauer did provide the clarification that you know as she mentioned we have so so many uh so much stuff going on right now and so we're just kind of taking them as we can and so in the future i think there may be other sites that we look at but that is i think it sounds like the rationale where we can go ahead and take measures to increase the safety

088and security of our students on the campuses then we'll look at those so we may see some of these in the future maybe not but um i just wanted to add that and for any other sites that may be thinking about you know similar situations at their site all right uh further comments see now and then i'll go ahead and call you as i see you uh for the vote uh board member i don't know hi board member travis hi foreign phone hi foreign item 6.05 uh do you have a motion to approve uh motion by board member travis seconded by boardwalk president uh comments from the public no public comment at this time mr board president all right see none then i'll go ahead and call you to see if there's no further accomplishments

089members of the board we're remembering hi uh board member travis aye where vice president hi my sophomore night what should pass unanimously uh motion for 6.06 motion second there's a motion by a border challenge second by vice president trump any public comment no public comment mr board president all right i'll go ahead and see your board member aye uh comments from the public no request for a public comment mr board president all right um your comments will run about yeah i just wanted to provide a a minor uh clarification on this item for anybody who actually looked at the item they may have seen the word playground used um to describe some of the work and as we most of us or many of us know there are actually no playgrounds at um shepard at

0906.07 or 6.08 the the item coming up at joseph george because there are middle school sites and so upon clarification with dr bauer and the team it's referring to kind of i guess like the the quad area at both of these campuses so um i know sometimes playgrounds are a topic of interest for our community as they should be but in this instance the word playground that's used in the uh the language in our packets actually refers to kind of the more appropriate middle school quad area which i guess in some respects is kind of the playground for the middle schoolers um so i just wanted to make that clarification all right thank you for that clarification uh we've called for a public comment correct yes yes thank you for the reminder um i'm gonna

091go ahead and call you as i see you uh board member hi board member travis hi board restaurateur tom hi we're members hi no request for public comment mr board president all right um any comments from members of the board do you know i'll go ahead and call you to see your board remember no request for public comment mr president all right uh board or trick-or-treater so um on this one actually the comment has to do kind of with what melanoma mentioned earlier but the opposite i know that um our playground structure has had issues at san antonio and i know this is on for the shade structure um which uh just you know in relation to san antonio my question from staff and i talked to dr barrow about this but just to bring
