008resolution and directs the superintendent to assist school administrators in updating their school safety plans to include the most current materials and training on detection and prevention of acts of violence in all forms and be a further resolve that the governing board directs that super the superintendent to update the student handbook to include the most current information about parent legal duties to safely store firearms and be a further resolve that the governing board and the superintendent will continue to work with city and county agencies public health agencies and non-profit to collaborate and increase efforts to inform district parents of their duty to safely store firearms in their homes and be be it further resolved that the governing board directs the superintendent to send out a yearly notification to all district parents community members and staff on

009safe firearms storage and the district commitment to school safety and be the be it further resolved that the governing board will direct staff to activate the district-wide safety task force by the first regular october governing board meeting to conduct a holistic review of the safety issues at all district sites and facilities throughout the 2223 school year this task force will have an advisory role and will adhere to all established safety protocol calls as per ed code and board policy safety task force composition the members of the safety task force will be appointed by the superintendent and two trustees and will include at least one representative from each district bargaining unit two members of the governing board parents and teachers with at least one parent or teacher representative from each school site there should be an

010equal or almost equal number of teacher and parents parents as members of this body the safety task force will intentionally and regularly seek feedback from district parents on committee matters as the safety task force seems appropriate and the safety task force may or may not combine with the wellness committee and this body may also include a representative of local law enforcement if the task force chooses to include the safety task force will identify areas of safety to priority prioritize investigate develop a timeline to guide their activities and you utilize the 22-23 school year to determine short-term and long-term recommendations for the governing board school site leadership and or district leadership to consider and help improve safety for our students and staff at every school site and throughout the entire district dr bauer do you suggest

011that i keep reading the entirety or go to the second to the last maybe be further resolved yeah okay so it is pretty long and lengthy and if um all the information is definitely important um it is a public document um but i am going to go to the second to the last be it further resolved that the governing board urges the united states congress to not only continue but to increase funding for gun violence research by the united states center for disease control and the national institute of health to learn how to best protect american families and communities from the devastation of gun violence and be it further resolved that the governing board calls upon the state legislature to increase k-12 funding for wrap-around services to prevent bullying harassment discrimination and violence in our

012schools and to provide funding for programs and staff such as counselors nurses psychologists and social workers that support students mental physical and emotional health and be it finally resolved that the copies of this resolution be sent to our congress representatives state legislators and uh state superintendent state attorney general and governor of the state of california okay thank you yay i see all of you and at this point i will go ahead and pass a meeting over to board president andres quintero all right um so haven't heard the resolution do we have uh public comment at this point board president quintero i don't see anyone for public comment wait no i don't all right uh i'll take it back to the members of the board is there any comment or questions from our members of the

013board uh board member chavez i do have a question so um what is going to go exactly in the packet of the for the parents um are you going to quote the penal code 26835-4 that you may be guilty of a misdemeanor including a significant fine or imprisonment if you keep a firearm whereas a miner is likely to access this is not what's going to be put in the packet so we don't have that packet yet trustee chavez but i think that's a great um recommendation the the superintendent uh through this resolution it just says that she will be doing that packet that we are gonna be asking her to do it um it's not necessarily the packet but i think you know in regards to recommending that that be in the packet i think

014that's a great recommendation so are we gonna be voting on this before we know what's gonna be in the packet we're gonna be voting just on the resolution today um directing staff to eventually send this packet out okay so my question is to dr bauer dr bauer right now what exactly is going to are we voting on are we going because if we vote for it now i want to know what i'm voting for what's going to be in the packets versus not knowing what's going to later on be in the packets right now you are voting to for the uh the resolution to be sent to our representatives just saying that alum rock condemns gun violence in schools that's my understanding that's number one and as a result of that the formation of a

015task force to look into all of these details including the one the very good recommendation that you're providing trustee chavez as of right now there's no packet okay the task force is gonna talk about what needs to go in the packet thank you uh board remember yes thank you uh first of all um i want to thank trustee arnold for bringing this to us um i know it was a lot of work it is pretty lengthy and and detailed um so i want to thank her and also want to thank um trustee jorge pacheco of oak grove school district for also bringing um working with um you know clsba to bring this to us and um i just had two clarifying questions number one um i fits in here but i was thinking about something

016else when i saw it but um the the connection between the safety committee and the wellness committee um can you um just um just re restate that or or or clarify what that connection is i'm trying to look for it in the document now but i'm not able to find it so that's number one is it okay to respond board president yes please except go for it um so yes so the wellness committee um as you remember we had been meeting before the covet hit so this um it's on page three um at least on my pages here and it's on the bottom the safety task force may or may not combine with the wellness committee so at that point you know um i mean there's just so many details that the safety task force

017may say you know what it's appropriate to or they both might decide you know we're looking at totally different um issues so let's just keep them separately so it may or may not um you know it just makes sense right the wellness all around and the safety overall it may or may not be a good idea so it's just in there as a possibility got it thank you i knew it was there i just i missed it and the second question i have um is with regards to the um let's see what is pages page four on mine at the top this body may also include a representative of local law enforcement if the task force chooses to include and so you know as we're um you know vice president famous has got us working

018towards this road map to returning our meetings at some point to the board room and and to the district office if and when those meetings we do get back to being in the um in the board room and being able to provide that kind of access to the public and all that stuff then i i'm trying to remember exactly the resolution that we passed several years ago with regards to law enforcement i've i want to say that we the resolution we passed prohibited law enforcement from being on any of our physically on any of our sites i could be mistaken about that but i that's why i'm asking if um if anyone remembers back that far it's been many meetings since then um so that so if that is the case then i'm just wondering

019if there may be some modification needed to this or whatever or maybe that would put them down the line but to allow for um law enforcement individuals to be present physically on our sites um to be part of this task force so i think dr bauer has the her hand up i believe she has a response yes a clarification trustee vegeta that resolution talks specifically about law enforcement performing certain duties paid we have had law enforcement in our sites whenever we have an emergency and we call and they come and they participate and they are they conduct investigations and all of that so it's more about somebody who is being paid by the district to be doing duties in the district which is a different role from somebody participating in a path force okay i

020just i didn't remember the specifics of it i just wanted to make sure that we didn't have conflicting resolution so thank you were there comments from members of the board uh board travis to me right now the way it's written it's not as clear and concise as it could be is there you know maybe something that we could you know see it rolled out a little bit more in writing what some of the things mean if not whatever the district decides thank you thank you um i actually actually kept it shorter than the original one that um had been written um every item on here is so important um i'm sure we can do away you know with a lot of it but um yeah i think just to answer to trustee chavez's we have

021uh actually um than the original uh that was sent out um and you know i don't i don't deep into it you know i got um feedback from trustee and jorge pacheco um just to see if there was any other you know areas that maybe we can cut or even um shift and so with that support we were able to present this um and again you know every part of it is so important um uh and so with that um i'd like to motion to um approve resolution 63-21-22 i'll second the motion but i also have a question you're on you andres thank you um we have a motion in a second we'll go to your comments or remember i know you have your hand up uh yes uh trusty herrera do you happen to

022have by chance any idea of because i know this was this resolution the template of it was sent out to many different districts and so um in your conversations with uh trustee pacheco i don't know if this came up but any idea how many other districts are taking a similar action and the reason why i asked is because i think it's important if there are a number of districts which i assume there are that we kind of try to stick fairly close to the template because i think that is you know it's kind of a statement of solidarity by school districts everywhere that we stand behind these particular items so um so yeah that's just the question if we have any idea how many other districts but my thought is that it's important to align

023with those who have participated or will can i respond board president yeah go for it uh so um i don't have the the exact number um but what i do know is that when i talked to him about some of the issues as we were editing and even some of the feedback from attorney you know and i'm going through it also with dr bauer um he had received similar feedback on some of the items that were brought up so you know i know definitely you know more than his uh district you know oak grove alum rock i just don't know the total and um i i'm in agreement you know into ensuring that we keep this um you know as true to to its forum as possible um but that's a good idea i think

024too um you know just as we move forward um as not just alum rocky elementary school district but as districts across california um you know i'm working together and and really learning from each other right maybe there's some things that other districts might not might be doing that we're not or vice versa um so thank you for bringing that up uh trustee before because it just sparks up other you know thoughts for me but i don't have the total number thank you or your microphone sounds really bad you gotta beat yourself with them yourself okay uh sounds way better okay okay uh well first of all thank you uh board clerk herrera loera and uh for bringing this to uh to this board's attention and also to thank uh trustee pacheco oh girl who i

025also did who also approached me about this resolution too so my question is a more of a technical nature to dr bauer uh organizationally which division of the district is in charge of uh student safety student services okay okay so i take so you know just just so i take it that student services would uh facilitate this tap the meetings of this task force uh should this resolution pass these but they will be part of it this resolution is very specific directing me the board is directing me to be coordinating and be working with the trustees that will be part of this to gather the individuals that's the way i'm interpreting okay and i will defer to trustee herrera to for her take on that that's that's the way i was interpreting they as a

026staff will be part of it because they are the hands on the ground that need to implement some of the kinds of things that the committee or the task force will will through the board uh direct us to do okay thank you very much all right respond to that yeah go for it um you know i i think the coordinating and the beginning um of this task force i think i believe we'll have dr bowers like more engagement you know more of her time um invested as it starts but i think as you mentioned vice president bam you know as once it started she'll kind of step back and then student services staff will probably take lead and then eventually um you know provide uh feedback right to the superintendent and the board um etc

027so that's my thought okay thank you further comments all right um i'm uh in particular one of the things that i want to make sure to underscore and to note for the public and what i find important is the notion of uh that is clearly spelt out of the safety committee as an advisor um and i think it's important to recognize that uh because of the fact that we at the end of the day the the the board is the one that's this place here to go and make decisions on behalf of the district and so i i very much am uh comfortable with moving forward because of the fact that this is going to give us very good information and uh very good recommendations on how as a board to move in a particular

028direction or not move and stuff of that sort so i want to thank you for making sure that that was clearly spelt out and that's something that's really important because of some of the confusion that we've had in the past where individuals have attempted to create basically another board or have asked for the creation of another board and uh and so i'm really glad that it's clearly stopped up this is an advisory body that's going to give great information uh that eventually that those recommendations will be factored into what the board does so um if there's no further comment i'll go ahead and call for the vote as i see you uh is there further more president quintero there are no further comments all right um so i'll go ahead and call you as i

029see you uh boardman board clerk hi board member an instrumental i foreign vice president aye board remember chavez i'm an abstain right now all right so with my sop 49 motion passes for uh in favor with an abstention all right moving on to item 2.02 report on the workforce housing community survey this is for information only do we have dale scott here dr bob i'm gonna turn it over to colvera to introduce dell yes good evening for president members of the board and superintendent dr bauer um mr del scotts can be presenting the data survey um on the workforce housing mr pena if you can elevate mr del scott to the panelists and mr bill scott when you're ready all right i will need the ability to share my screen or i will meet you

030somebody giving girls or dale the opportunity to share a screen patricia can you do that since you're the host please or perhaps one of you can share the presentation to the committee that was made a few weeks ago oh okay here we go i got it all right uh thank you very much um i'm gonna run through these slides um with some amount of i'm not going to go through everyone in great detail but i want to give you an overview and i welcome questions as we go through the presentation the survey was conducted of probable voters within the district within the district's boundaries as you can see in this slide it was conducted in june it took about a week to complete there were 300 completed surveys they were conducted in english spanish and

031vietnamese you can see the listing of the various methods by which people responded it took about 13 minutes and that last line the margin of error being 5.65 that is a margin of error on either side of any of the of the responses that you see the way these surveys work is once the person is either on the phone or is being engaged through text they are then given a few questions what i call warm-up questions to make them understand that i make them feel comfortable that they are their opinion is actually being sought and they're not trying to be sold something and then the potential ballot question the item that would be presented if the board were to go forward putting this idea on the this measure before the voters is read to them

032before they read it without any information and then a variety of questions are asked of them to see how various pieces of information would influence their decision one way or the other there is some demographic information questions at the end of the survey i'm going to cover a few of those at the beginning and take them out of order because i think they're important for you to understand to get a better sense of who the voters are we asked yes sir sorry you said to ask questions throughout the presentation right okay quick question i don't know if you have this but do you happen to know um for this particular study if i don't even know if it's appropriate the way it was um operationalized but is there a p-value that you were aware of

033in terms of the results and i suspect there is but i'm not aware of okay thank you but i will ask okay thank you uh we asked the uh the respondents the question do you have or you ever had any children or grandchildren who attended or are now attending school in the allen rock union school district this i think is a particularly important question um often board members will consider their constituents to be parents those are people that that they speak with they talk to regularly but as you can see here over half of the voters the likely voters within this survey and have no children or grandchildren or i've ever had children or grandchildren within the district i think it's important to keep that in mind as we walk through these details we also

034asked that question from what you know or what you've heard how would you rate the quality of education provided by the district this is really a very interesting response we do a lot of these surveys these are excellent uh responses especially coming out of covet there's been a great deal of um shall i say so-so responses to this question but to have uh over a third of the respondents saying that the quality of education is excellent or good is really exceptional for this district we also asked the question about the quality of fiscal responsibility and the same thing having a a response of excellent or good for almost 25 percent of the respondents um is very unusual in this current environment i also think it's interesting that you have 23 percent of the respondents say

035they are unsure and that makes sense since over half of them do not have any children in the district they don't really know what you do so it shows to me that many of them are telling the truth they really don't know much about the district we ask a couple attitudinal questions do you agree or disagree allenblock public schools are our community's most important asset and should be our number one priority 88 of the respondents agree with that with that statement which is remarkable only six percent disagree and we also ask the question do you agree or disagree quality schools increase property values again 85 agreeing with that statement and over 10 disagree very strong support for the district so far we turn to a question also regarding housing do you agree or disagree there

036is a significant shortage of available and affordable rental housing in the san jose area clearly this is something that people are aware of 82 percent of the respondents agree now i'm going to turn to the response to the question of the ballot measure this question uh these words that are on the left hand side in the box i'm not going to read them but this is somewhat similar to what that final ballot measure would sound like obviously we're going to take some information from this survey and make sure that that information is highlighted but it discusses the fact that the funds would be used to improve local schools it wouldn't be taken by the state it would renovate classrooms build below market teacher housing uh repair schools roofs and plumbing 71.5 million dollars with a

037three percent per hundred dollar tax rate and no increase in the total amount of approved debt jump in and ask your question sure uh yes uh can you clarify for the purposes of the public and also for my own clarification um what the percentage necessary would be on um on a ballot item such as this yes thanks here for pointing that out the requirement under state law is okay thank you so as you can see here without information before information i should say 50 58 of the voters responded that they would vote in favor that's our hard yes in addition people that said i don't know were then asked a follow-up question but would you be leaning yes or would you be leaning though and 11 said they would lean yes so you are at

03869 percent um going into it we usually take the gas and lean yes together as a as a sense of where you are um so 55 is the threshold and you are well above it with this original question now a number of questions are asked uh regarding the various projects various statements uh various facts um they are randomized so everybody is not hearing the first question first one the second question is the second one in the following pages i have reshuffled those so that you can see what answers rise to the top this is not the order that they were asked in first we covered the impact of specific projects so for example let's take the first one if you knew that the funds would be used to upgrade steam labs and there was some

039information given about what a steam lab is and the question would you be more likely or less likely to vote for the bond so we have a few things going on in this uh s in this table at the same time one is the dark blue are people that said i would be more likely the dark red or people that say i would be less likely as you can see in this example at the top would be less than 10 and then the orange and the light blue are people that said it wouldn't make a difference to me and then we go back and determine is that person saying it's not a difference because i'd be voting yes or is it not a difference because i've been going no from the previous question so keep

040your eye on that combination of the red and the orange and the combination of the blue and the light blue if you put those two together the blue and the light blue in that first question you're 85 and in all of these uh projects on this page upgrade steam labs improve student safety increase student access to computers maintain and upgrade technology and classrooms you are over 80 as um more likely or um it wouldn't make a difference they were still rebuilding this sorry uh another another question question i'm assuming that in the administration of this survey just to uh remain consistent there's not really an explanation provided as to so for instance if someone didn't know what a steam lab was or um they wouldn't really get clarification of that or would they um well

041there's two parts to that answer there is more information given in the survey regarding what a steam lab is the question is longer than i'm showing it here for purposes of presentation however there is no additional information given to any one respondent if someone said well what would that mean improving student safety and campus security the person conducting the survey would not be provided would not be allowed to give additional information okay thank you um so as i was about to say the other on the second page specific projects alarms hvac repair ada requirements one of the classrooms again all uh well over 70 percent touching 80 percent they begin to fall off a little bit but these are still excellent responses roofs restrooms plumbing wiring the nova begins to increase a little bit as

042you can see it's now beginning to get closer to 20 percent but these are really very unusually high returns in the second segment we have the impact of specific statements so for example the most powerful statement was if you knew that funds would be spent locally these funds would be spent locally and cannot be taken by the state that has close to over 80 percent if you go down to the bottom if you knew the bottom of this page if you knew the bonds would not increase the district's total authorized debt still very strong over 70 percent but not one of your you know top top responses statements the one that does resonate is by re-authoring the bonds the district can continue the job of improving schools which is the second one from the top

043we then turned to the subject of teacher staff housing and gave them some various details about this this was more of the sharing of information to see whether they agreed or disagreed or whether it made a difference or not regarding the bond um housing in san jose will allow building teacher staff housing in san jose will allow teachers and staff to live in the community in which they work that was the strongest response at 80 providing housing will make the district more competitive and attracting high quality staff also 80 and the bonds will be used to construct below market rental housing for teachers and staff approximately 75 there were some other responses they weren't uh weren't as strong but still well over the 55 threshold which is the black line i should have pointed that

044out uh at the beginning um uh run below current market rates it would provide the district with additional funds would not be paid out of the general fund good but not as good we also checked the tax sense sensitivity of this so even though this would not increase the total amount of bonds that have been authorized it would begin the tax sooner rather than later in this case state law allows that the state law requires that the cost of the uh of the bonds be disclosed to voters but it can be disclosed either as cents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation in this case three cents or as dollars per 100 000 of assessed valuation they are obviously roughly the same the reason we don't say cents is it's nobody can quite understand what a

045point one cent is among voters um that's why we round up to three um you can see that the math is pretty good within this district there's not a great deal of just difference between the respondents uh saying they preferred three cents over the dollars per hundred thousand slightly better for the cents would you be more likely likely or less likely if you knew the district can continue the job of improving schools close to 80 percent and the district will not increase the district's total authorized debt now that we have gone through all of these statements we've gone through the costs we've gone through the projects and some of the other details we go back and ask the respondent would they like to change their vote in other words so we have on the left

046hand side their responses before information and then having heard this information we asked them if they would like to vote again and this is the response after information which is well over 70 yes when you use the yes combine the yes and yes together 67 percent two-thirds uh hard yes 15 hard no now we know that not all voters are exactly the same in their voting habits some voters are very strong voters they vote all the time other voters do not vote quite as reliably and so it's important that number one we have the right mix of those voters when we're conducting this survey and then number two it's interesting to see if there's a differentiation between those types of voters in the next slide you can see that this survey as a whole was

047made up of 46 very reliable voters those are voters that voted in the last four out of four or three out of three elections 47 percent were reliable voters three out of three or two out of four two out of three and then only seven percent of the unreliable voters who voted only in the last one out of the last four or three elections um what i like to put my keep my eye on is the very reliable and the reliable making sure that they are over the 55 mark and in this case that is that is true obviously the unreliable voters i should say obviously as i would expect the unreliable voters are very supportive which is great it's just they're not as consistently as voters but there are some that are within this

048uh considering this survey i'm going to turn to next steps in just a second with the next slide but i'm going to pause here to see if there are any other questions about the survey itself go for it okay thank you uh first of all i'm encouraged by um the report here and and what it says and and you know also as i think about the recent parcel tax i'm encouraged about the community's perception of the work that is being done by this board and this community um but the re the reason why i had asked about the the p value um i didn't i didn't hear it in the beginning maybe you said it but i thought i read a few days ago that the um number of respondents was somewhere around 300 is

049that correct i believe it was 300 um in that range right 301 301. so um i mean i'm assuming that this is the case but do you typically find that for a voting population the size of alan rocks that a a um [Music] a value of 301 respondents is tip will typically provide a a fairly valid indicator of um what the the sense is on these questions no excellent question um i would love to have 400 um and it is a trade and i'd love to have 500 but it's a trade-off of the amount of voters and the cost it simply becomes very expensive and time consuming once you get up to those numbers um remember that the margin of error is five point let's call it five point seven percent uh in either direction

050uh we go back to the before information and after information we're still in good form either before or after we have gone back using the 300 number is a fairly common number that we use just for pricing as well as availability of callers now we've gone back we've looked at how many of the final results fall within that margin of error and you as you would expect with something of a bell curve there are some far on the on the stream of doing much better and some are on the extreme of doing much worse but the vast majority fall within that margin of error as we compare it so i am comfortable with the 300 summer okay thank you for that clarification as long as you went ahead and pulled from the various subs subsets

051of the of the voters so high propensity lower propensity you started having a good random mix that 300 should be is what is within the five percent and it's pretty valid you know you can go as high as a thousand and you you hit that wall and get nothing better if you're going it does it that's a very good point it trails off at a certain point but it just doesn't provide any additional reliability i'm sorry interrupted but were there other questions okay is that the presentation bill or oh i'm sorry there is a question uh yeah trustee actually it's not on the presentation more like um one on was the teachers pulled where they asked if they would live in the housing should we have housing in the district because if that's going to

052be who we're going to be marketing to um i would like to see what their responses are thank you yes there was a full survey done with the teachers as well as the staff and it was very positive dale do you have those numbers or do you want to talk about i yes there was a survey completed i'd be happy to share it um not at this time i don't have it keyed up uh but it i was i believe i have sent it to the district i'll send it to the superintendent again and perhaps she can distribute it to the board members it went through a number of different alternatives i will say that uh two specific questions that come to mind were asking those teachers that responded and i should say that emails

053went out to every teacher and staff member in the district not just teachers those that responded we asked them in general whether you would live in the project or not would you be in favor of this are you favorable to this type of event or not that was overwhelmingly positive and then we asked those that responded if they themselves would be interested in looking at the potential to live in teacher staff housing and that was also while very very positive uh with a much higher number of people responding that they would be interested and i think would be feasible under the types of dollar amounts that you're looking at for the construction of the house one more question could you give me the response number that that you did recently and was it within this

054month or last month um i would have to check i will tell you my my recollection is that the percentage response was in the high 30 to low 40 percent that's my recollection that's what dr bauer has the information we're looking for okay i was just gonna say this was presented to the board um and i'm trying to look it was either the april or the may board meeting and the presentation was part of your packet but i'll go ahead and resend it thank you and also um there's some birds in my back window so if you hear whistling it's not me it's the little birds okay thank you further questions or comments from members of the board i thought trusty charles needed to replace a battery in her fire smoke detector but thank you

055for the clarification it does sound like that uh dale is that the end of your presentation uh one more slide um the as you can see here the voter results being presented today on june 28th um our anticipation uh given if we have the correct if we have the board's permission is to bring the reauthorization bond measure back to the board for action at the july 21st meeting i'm assuming that meeting is still one that is being targeted and assuming passage of that measure which requires uh four out of five votes uh in the state of california we would then present that resolution to the county and it would be on the november 8th election uh in 2022. and that concludes my all right thank you for that information um with regard to the workforce

056housing uh committee i'd like to report out that there was a recommendation from the committee to support moving forward with the replacing the bond the recommend the exact language of the agenda was that dr barr do you have that language with you because we recommend that you put approve and move forward with uh placing the bond it's in the next item of this agenda the next item of the agenda is to consider whether or not the committee actually continues this item 2.02 is to talk about the recommendation of the committee correct correct so that's why i'm bringing it up now and i'm reporting out what happened at the committee level so that was our recommendation uh board member um yeah i was actually a little confused so thank you for bringing that up um president

057quintero i know that at our last committee meeting we talked about these next steps and i noticed that this was on for information only um so i don't know we're able to shift that and make that recommendation because we did talk about that recommendation at the committee meeting i'm just i'm reporting out what the recommendation was from the board so there's no action to be taken around it's just uh this is what the recommendation was from the board and so the board will go ahead and choose to take whatever action even necessary at the next board meeting on july 21st uh remember uh yeah but i think my question is probably more appropriate for the next item so okay uh further questions or comments remember the board [Music] if not then thank you dale i'm

058gonna go ahead and take public comment at this time um anybody wishing to speak on this item please indicate by raising your hand for president there are no raised hands at this time okay all right um so yeah this was uh for information only and my intention at this point was just to report out what the action that we took at the committee level which was to recommend it recommend moving forward with the uh placing the bond um if there's no further questions or comments remember the board then we'll go ahead and move on time 2.03 all right see none then uh i'll move forward move forward with item 2.03 um do you have any public comment on 2.03 mr board president there are no public comments for this item all right um all right

059well with regard to 2.03 i ask the designer to be placed on the agenda so that the board as a whole can take action if it deems necessary um or should consider the need to retain the workforce housing committee in the situation with the jefferson ninja high school district they started their work after uh there was an approval of the bond here we're ahead of the game and we've heard that it's actually beneficial to have a committee on hand so that those who are working on these items can go ahead and continue to bounce ideas bring items up or that they might need to flesh out obviously the board has ultimate say on what takes place but this is a place in a space where things can be worked out given the fact that it's

060a very complex issue um and it's going to be taking up a significant amount of time so i bring this forward to the board for the board's consideration to determine whether or not you deemed necessary to continue because if you recall when this body was created it was very nearly focused it was very a brief time frame we've learned a lot as we've gone through the process and so that's why i'm bringing it forward um i see a hand up so i'll go ahead and begin board discussion board vice president trump housing all right uh we have a motion it sounds like you're really far away so if you want to uh mute yourself can you hear me now yeah very very like completely but we can hear you a little bit better okay something's

061going on with that mic if you can mute yourself and i mean yourself it tends to get a little bit better there you go oh now it just completely died out sorry about that um all right i kind of got your motion and you said that you repeat it go for it okay [Music] and it sounds really bad man if you can eat yourself number yourself again i wonder um president quite or dr bauer i i don't know if i t has found any thing in the troubleshooting i wonder if maybe a different computer is the issue i have no idea what what has already tried but all right give it a try again yeah stay still get back a little bit [Music] it's really bad man i'm not sure what's going on do you

062want to give it a um bread was already dead i'm texting brett to hopefully he can go again they're in a different uh room yeah um try it out talk from there yeah i know if you can get back a little bit it sounds like you're a robot transformer it sounds pretty bad um yeah i'm not sure what's up with your machine man yeah yeah before it was just faint now it's really mechanical or something yeah i think colvera and brett are on their way to rescue to the rescue and we were we had been having these conversations we have no idea what's going on if you have some like with the audio phone or a microphone is it maybe just the room he's in because he's in a separate room right he's in the

063boardroom yeah yeah maybe he needs to switch to another room because where i'm at there's usually no problem there i've been there too and i had no problem yeah i think maybe it's a computer winner yeah because marina used to sit down there when she you know when she was more president trustee chavez all right give it a try again let's see if that mic uh finally got fixed or something vice president fam i think we need to trade back our places we tried to trade two weeks ago and i don't think it's working how can you try the speakers um and do the the real tech audio instead of the siemens system go to the little arrow next to your microphone uh can you hear me now ah sounds way better okay i'm using

064my phone uh okay so get uh you know so given these well first of all previously i asked at this so we uh do you know in order to retain the workhouse workforce housing committee um there would need to be a motion to retain it am i correct yeah that's why it's being presented for board action so whatever actually today would allow it to continue okay so uh given the informative presentation by mr scott and the uh potential benefits of workforce housing i move that the workforce housing committee be retained is there a second to that motion second all right i have a motion in a second i've already taken a public comment is there any further comment from members of the board can you help them repeat that i didn't hear please uh board

065member board vice president found do you want to go ahead and repeat your motion yes i uh my motion is to retain the workforce housing committee all right there's a motion in a second further comments or questions for members of the board uh board remember i'll go for it thank you uh i guess i have a a request and a question um so the request that i'll put well first of all i'll have a gratitude i want to thank you president quintero and vice president herrera taking the initiative to um you know start this this committee and and start the work there and and continue the work in a very meaningful productive way it's not just a group that's meeting and you know month to month and not really having any action or productivity very

066clearly there's some productivity there so i want to thank you both for that um and my request that kind of puts one or both of you on the spot a little bit and if you can't that's fine but if you could just maybe do provide us with a brief synopsis or not a timeline but just you know some bullet points of of what the work progression has has been in the um committee um just so we can have an idea of of kind of where you started and to where we're at now and then i'll ask the question the question that i would have is if we do approve to move forward and retain the committee what would be the the projected work that would continue or what would be the rationale to necessitate continuing

067the committee forward so those are my two things uh board member uh laura do you want me to go ahead and take a crack at first or do you want to respond yeah but not before putting him on the spot i'm not the vice president anymore i am the clerk so i just want to honor um vice president moon go for it uh vice president that's okay so so the the idea is that what we've learned from the presentations um that we've had as part of the committee where we've brought in people who've already gone through the development of uh workforce house teacher and workforce housing projects particularly up in the peninsula is that there's a need for a body that's available to go ahead and respond and so that's the logic behind this uh

068and so the idea would be for the committee to still be available maybe it's not meeting every month but it's uh it's available for uh the workforce housing um project and then as soon as you know if the public is uh supportive and if it does just move forward there's already a committee in place that can already begin to work on the project and hit the ground running that is already informed and has already been uh getting information with regard to this project so that there's no lag and there's no need to get people to get ramped up and to just get the committee up and running we're already able to move forward as soon as the the if the public chooses to uh give the the green light on this very important uh manner

069um and so that's the logic behind uh authorizing the committee to stay active rather than just shutting it down and then going back and having to re re um reincorporate another committee take board action to bring it back um board uh clerk and then i'll go to dr barack i think the only thing i'll add to that is um you know the fact that we've had very detailed discussions around um the next steps for language um things that you know i think maybe we can think back to like the strategic planning right like there's some things that maybe might call for additional conversations or looking in further um and obviously at the end of the day being a committee that brings a recommendation to the board that's been thought out that's been talked to um

070you know the different representatives are on their area cse um so some of those discussion that some of the discussion that can be had there um obviously to then create a recommendation that could be brought to the board um that's been thought out you know with the committee members um to get to a point where there's a recommendation i think now you know we're at a we're at this place where i mean we're we we can move forward uh fast but i would i just wanted to add that in regards to um you know uh being a committee that's already formed that can just kind of come back if need be um in addition to [Music] you know um any recommendations that might come or maybe language of the you know bond measure you know

071are we going to include and are we not so that those things don't have to happen necessarily here we can come that the committee can come to the board with a recommendation that's been kind of thought out in that way um would be the only thing i would add dr bauer i wonder if it would be helpful to have dale give a mini summary of the timeline so that the board knows you know what are the next steps potential steps for the board to take uh that are coming because he has been reminding us in the in the workforce uh committee right like these are the next steps and that's kind of what we are trying to follow but i think it will help the rest of the board to hear from him you know

072just a reminder i know he has mentioned that um we have right now the board has two surveys you have the results of the staff survey and now the voter survey so based on these two results the board is going to be asked to make decisions that's why there was no decision tonight but i think it will be helpful just to refresh our memories because i think that's part of that might answer some of the questions that's just my suggestion uh dale do you mind uh provide us a recap on the i know you provided at the very end but if you can recap the the timeline they'll be beneficial for the public as well sure do you want me to talk about the timeline of the reauthorization measure which includes the housing or do

073you want me to talk about as well the timeline for teacher staff housing that was um you know if you can include them both that would be great can i add to that request really and it follows up from my question um that would be helpful in terms of hearing the timeline going forward but also what i was hoping to hear in um with regards to like bullet points was just for instance you know like in the conversations whatever could be shared obviously you know what is the the feeling of of teachers or staff or what you know what are some of the highlights of the meetings that have been had to this point to get us to where we are and then obviously you know it would be helpful to hear the plan going

074forward but i'm i'm still kind of wanting to get just a little more context about the actual kind of discussions and meetings that have already occurred um because that context will give me um you know a little more insight into the plan moving forward so hopefully something of that nature could be included um again nothing too detailed or anything but just a some contextual information about the work that's been done and the and the path that has gotten us to this point tonight so do you want us to go ahead and provide you the recap in writing we could shoot that over in the form of a couple of some bullet points to talk about what's taking place up to now i think dale's prepared to talk about the actual what's what would happen with

075the bond is that okay do you want it would it be okay for the committee to send that to your writing yeah i would actually i would love that um so that would that would be very helpful yes we'll shoot that over uh board member you know what dale can you go ahead and do the presentation i'm i'm not sure if you have to take off so if you can uh talk about the timeline can i get a quick question in if they can just out you know send an outline something in writing that would be great thanks that's what i just told them we'll remember sorry my internet is going in and out and there's a plane above me so i didn't hear everything all right dale go for it sure um regarding the

076election um the district has to take action um by no later than roughly the first week of august in order to put an item on the november ballot under california state law that vote has to be a approved by two-thirds of the members of the board which would be for a for a vote of at least four uh one it's taken to the county it is then delivered to voters ballots will go out october first or so final election day is november 8th there will be a final count of the vote that's probably going to take well into december and then a certification would occur in january at that point in time the district then has the ability assuming it wins the district has the ability to issue um bonds from that reauthorization measure for

077any of the projects that are outlined in the in the ballot measure and that would include teacher staff housing as currently envisioned um the teacher staff housing projects in particular generally go through the following steps there is the engagement of a consultant to do a feasibility study on one or more parcels of land that you own or want to own that may take more a couple of months or more depending on the complexity this is a superficial view it has to do with how many units would be possible on the sites what's the elevations are there any environmental problems what's the zoning it doesn't get to the level of doing soil borings or anything such as that once a decision of some sort is made regarding the the site and the number of units and

078the financial considerations there is a process that takes roughly nine months that has to do with doing permits getting all of the necessary easements in place doing specific drawings that can be bid making a determination of how that process is going to work regarding bringing in architects and developers after that process is done and these are regularly reported out to the board generally through the committee and when that process is done then there is typically some type of bidding process for the construction and the construction can take anywhere from a year and a half to two years at the same time while that is going on there has to be a number of decisions that are made regarding the teacher staff housing including for example the very complicated or very important such as um who

079is going to receive it how is it how are they going to be selected as well as some of the more mundane issues such as how are roommates treated our how about pets how about spouses number of issues such as that so that is a when the when the president says it's nice to get a step ahead of the process those are the kind of questions that are important to be starting to think about and that works well at the committee level who can then bring recommendations to the board all right further questions from members of the board all right see none then uh i have a second uh a motion in a second uh we've already called for public comment earlier uh says can you remind me we did call for a comment correct

085to be doing the training this person also needs to bring it's a very specific in terms of coordinating these kinds of outdoor activities okay i think so this is a it's a very specialized um position and opportunity for our district and for our students then that they may not get elsewhere and that we can um help to provide in a very efficient way through this position yes we uh part of the description and i am learning as well i'm not very much of a of an outdoors person but i love the concept of environmental education and in this particular grant it's not only environmental education as a concept but very specifically providing students and families an opportunity to visit outdoor places that are 15 miles and beyond from our district so this is a grant

086that where the state is seeking families that have that that don't usually have an opportunity to go camping or to go to our state park national parks um to participate in those kinds of things and learn some of the skills that are required in the outdoors uh including i mean all kinds of of things but this is a very specific job description for somebody who's able to coordinate to help uh the families the staff uh and and the kids to be able to participate of this amazing opportunity okay thank you i agree i think this is an amazing opportunity it's it's unique it's um from a personal perspective it was opportunities like these through alum rock and east side union high school district that made a really big difference in my life that you know

087we were able to go to places like death valley and yosemite and those experiences helped to shape me at that age and so um i will be in support of this strong support and i would urge my colleagues to support as well okay uh so with that uh let's see here uh it would see no further comment from the board i will call you as i see you uh claire carrera hi uh trustee bejarano aye trustee chavez hi and uh let's see here uh myself voting i uh let's see here uh board president quintero it looks like there's something to take a break yes looks like there's uh so uh with that the vote is uh four to zero with uh board president absent uh or not voting okay moving on uh let's see here
