004that has been done around this block grant this block grant was this is the educator effectiveness block grant and it is to provide professional learning opportunities for all those that work with students directly both teachers and administrators as well as professionals and other support staff that work directly with students i'm going to ask that we allow miss barbara campbell to share a little overview of some of the work some of the planning that's taking place and share with you the actual plan up to this point uh today it is here for information only so that way we can share the work that's been done so far and you know if there's an opportunity for um feedback from both the community and the board so miss campbell thank you can you see my screen yes okay
005thank you good evening board president board member superintendent dr bauran community i'm here tonight to share with you our educator effectiveness block grant plan today's presentation is information and input and then at a subsequent meeting we are to get approval which will happen at next week's meeting as you can see on this slide the educator effectiveness block grant provides funds to school districts to provide professional learning for certified teachers administrators para educators classified staff that work directly with students to promote educator equity quality and effectiveness these funds may be expended during these following years that are on the slide it is a five year we have up to five years for to spend these funds sorry so the next i wanted to share is some these are some of the areas that these are the
006areas that you were allowed to spend this money on some of the pieces i wanted to kind of point out for allowable use of these funds are coaching and mentoring for staff for beginning teachers and administrators strategies to improve inclusive practices programs to lead to effective standard aligned instruction improving social emotional learning engagement strategies to that leads to accelerating learning for students and also possibility of professional learning communities as some of the ideas that the state has given us the opportunity to include in this plan so in order to get some input for this plan uh we sent out a survey to teachers to classified staff that work with teacher with students and our administrators and with some guiding questions around what what kind of supports that they need and what are some of the
007areas of need for professional development included in that plan was also ideas of what was the delivery model for the for the that they best learn uh in for their professional development in addition to surveying the staff we i asked the leads from each each unit to give me uh two teachers or two people to join a focus group to look over the survey data and give some additional input that they might have for us to consider on the bottom of this slide you'll see some of the trends that we found from the surveys in the focus group we had a lot of need for classroom management behavior supports and sel positive school climate we also had a high need from the different groups around differentiation strategies and strategies to support the specific academic needs
008of students along with that were inclusion strategies such as under under uh universal design for learning which are techniques specifically to support uh students with disability that are in the inclusive situ uh settings there was a lot quite a bit of conversation about mentoring and coaching support for newer uh teachers up to five years and and administrators uh some support for standards aligned uh instructions to improve literacy there was some information there was some need for um really identifying foundational skills and looking at multi-test multi-tiered systems of support and then for our classified staff there was a lot of need for technology skilled training and applications to be able to support the teachers better in the classroom so again our plan um what we did is we taking some of the key pieces that we
009really folk that we really found continuous uh repeated continuously in the survey um are with how we came up with our plan so under the area of the focus area for coaching and mentoring of staff we have again developing a mentoring system of support for beginning teachers and administrators providing administrator coaching support and then a bits a new teacher mentor to help coordinate and support those teachers so that there's that organizational piece so that we know who they are and how much support they need next under inclusive practices and this is in order to really make sure that all our students that have in the ieps have access one is around we have a lot of schools that are doing inclusion so really looking at universal design for learning as a professional development in kind
010of running parallel to what um anthony colon our director of special ed is providing for his teachers at our working inclusion so for inclusive sites really providing that support for those teachers too and then again back around differentiation strategies and instructional supports to help students that need the additional support and you can see how we spread out the use of the funds next we really focused on positive school climate because there was a lot of need for that so again looking at different um theories for professional development to support not just our teachers but our para educators and our classified staff that work directly with students on classroom management creating positive school climates and different sel strategies and then finally again around standards aligned instruction to improve instruction is really looking at professional development in
011general around standards aligned pieces stipends to provide to allow the teachers to do our online aludo platform which is um has a whole series of self-guided professional development in areas that we had a team identify that was the need and then again technology basic basics and classroom integration for our para educators substitutes and certificated staff and that kind of where we allotted our money for our professional development and jen again i just wanted to end my little brief presentation kind of with a quote of continuous personal and professional development is the key to our future you know we as as educators and learning being the key to what we do we need to continue to grow and learn as educators ourselves thank you so much um i do see trustee vacarano's hand up um go
012ahead okay well i guess first i'll ask if we're gonna um take public comment after the our comments and questions or how are you gonna go about it madam president yeah typically i'll go into a public comment but i saw your hand up so i just wanted to turn it over to you before we did that i'm uh i'm okay to wait i mean i know that's the way you usually do it so i just put my hand up in readiness so okay yay all right we'll pick you first when we come back all right thank you i'll take note thank you uh trustee put it down thank you okay um and today we have uh daniel who's gonna be helping us with our public comments so i'm going to go ahead and turn it
013to mr pena at this time to help us with public comment mr penani members of the public wishing to address the board on this item hello board president uh currently there are no speakers okay we'll wait a few seconds any no no okay all right so we'll go ahead and come back to the trustees trustee okay thank you so i um in reading through the materials and in the presentation i'm pretty sure i this was clear to me but i just want to make sure um so the way that these fun these funds are available to us um is it accurate that they cannot be used for or can they be used for um for salaries or any portion of them for just straight salaries it is all for professional learning opportunities for the staff
014that work directly with students okay and then i guess the kind of connected or follow-up question to that is and this may be more to dr bauer or the team or whoever but um are there things that we are currently paying for through other funds funding sources that could fall under this grant that would then free up um money that might uh help us with looking at salaries in the district in any significant way i mean maybe there's opportunities here and there but i'm talking about is there an opportunity to have a significant impact if indeed that was even possible to kind of switch stuff into this grant and free up those monies if that's clear thank you trustee vegeta i'm gonna have colvera answer that question if i may is that okay uh academic
015services thank you it's also spills over to other areas of the budget um just to be very clear with everybody yeah at this point we haven't identified any existing salaries or expenditures that we can replace using this money but again this is really um just kind of a new grant that was proposed by the state this year so the intention is mainly for professional development and supplemental programs to enhance um you know the um experience for all the all the staff that's involved okay i think i think that i mean that was pretty clear to me and what i read i just wanted to make sure i kind of lifted up those those stones and see if there's anything under there but um you know i'm sure that you had all thought of that before
016me and it's just a matter of process i guess in me asking it now so thank you for the presentation thank you trustee um i see trustee pam uh you know question to academic services or business services whichever department feels that that it is the most appropriate to answer uh so the the programs funded by this educator affecting this block grant these funds are so our our is this to uh pay for uh professional development above what we have already budgeted for uh professional development in in those fiscal years indicated that is correct okay so so so so i guess uh maybe i i'm restating uh trustee baehran's question or i i didn't get it quite correctly so basically these uh what is spent on this block grant cannot uh cannot substitute for any existing
017professional development so we can't kind of so we cannot say uh reduces we cannot reduce already budgeted professional development expenditures uh they uh per the amounts [Music] provided for in this block grant am i correct the idea behind the block grant is to enhance and supplement yeah it is not to supplant what is currently being offered so this is uh with it with the idea that we will be offering more an additional professional development to those staff members that don't have those opportunities or in areas that we haven't had the opportunity to provide professional development in with um monies that have been available uh in other areas oh okay so this so basically this is an expansion of uh a state-funded uh supplement to uh you know in addition to our professional development efforts that
018is correct um i don't know if you wanted to add something you had your hand up i did and just to um emphasize the intention of the grant is that um you know this is more broad in terms of opportunities for other staff it's not just for certificate certificated staff but it's also for administrators and classified staff who are working directly with uh with our students and typically um you know classified staff and pair educator educator but administrators um usually don't have an allocation for pd's or professional development or at least to that to this um to this magnitude um and a focus on it okay well you know but in any case uh thank you very much renee and colvira and also thank you very much barbara for getting our application in and getting
019not getting this a hard one educator affecting this block grant to to to strengthen our ability to provide professional development beyond that beyond that which we are already offering thank you trustyfam and i don't see any other hands up um okay cnn uh yes all the questions that i had uh were asked thank you for that very detailed information i agree with uh mr pham you know thank you for taking the time to fill out the grant i mean these are friends that you think would just be handed over that our common sense that we need but unfortunately we have to you know go through that process so thank you all for taking that time and also you know part of the reason why we're here today for the special board meeting to ensure that
020we have this um on the agenda before we move on as uh barbara mentioned so thank you so much um with that we'll go ahead and move on to the next item on our agenda item uh 301 a proof contract amendment for legal services with danny's vol woliver kelly dwk dr bauer i'm asking respectfully asking the board to allow us to amend the contract with the wk to allow us to work with them to do some charter work that's specifically every time we have a contract we have to be very specific with the services that they're going to provide and this is specific to help for them to help us in some charter work that we need done in the district all right at this time i'm going to open it up for public comment
021mr pena if you can please let us know if you have any members of the public wishing to address the board on this item for president there are no speakers okay well wait a few seconds do we know there are no speakers okay thank you so much now i'll go ahead and open it up to the trustees at this time any questions comments concerns uh trustee vahrano yes thank you uh dr bart can you did you you said this um it allows us to do charter work is that what you're saying any items that involve charters so if there are any and we have some um upcoming um items with charters so we want to be prepared um we also have to finally you know to have a cycle of evaluating the charters that we
022have approved as a district so that's the kind of work that we're asking dwk to assist us with okay so i know that when we selected them you know obviously we had a particular type of legal counsel in mind that we were looking for and that's the basis of you know primarily how we selected them so we're adding this piece on it sounds like or we're potentially adding this on tonight um and i guess my question that goes along with that then is are there any other types of legal work um that the this firm would be able to assist with or we would have the need for such that we would need to open it up even more than charter work or would we just if that came up we could do it on
023an um case-by-case basis in the future if it ever came up so every time we amend any contract and specifically for legal services it's best practice to bring to allow you know to to notify the board so this is our way of asking the board for that um support and that's just you know that's just the nature of a contract so just because the contract itself as it exists specifically denotes specific types of work it doesn't preclude us in the future if we need to from kind of going through this process again and you know getting what we need in a hypothetical future with a hypothetical need correct okay thank you rogelio do you wanna yes thank you i just wanted to clarify real quick that the administration is working on bringing a proposal for
024a bond council services so that's another area of specialized legal services that will be coming back to the board for approval as well in the near future thank you okay i see trustee femme yes a question to administration so uh you know so basically um where in what aspects of uh charter charter review uh you know uh would would uh dwk assist us with please if you could elaborate as i mentioned has to do with evaluating the performance okay that is something that we as the district are responsible for conducting a formal evaluation of the charters that the district charter okay uh also um you know would it uh would it also extend to say issues with uh least compliance with the existing charters that are on district property correct okay all areas you know
025of performance okay very good and so i you know so i wanted to some people you know if i may i'll take this off and even make my comment you know i've heard uh you know people have written to me about their concerns about dwk but you know upon review of the documents and the uh analysis provided by administration um we need all the help we can get in regards to regulating the charter schools here and uh my new song you know uh i've said it publicly that i i believe that some of these charters have behaved more like uh more like burglars than uh educational partners so uh i'll be voting yes on this and i urge my colleagues to vote also vote yes on this so as to ensure that we have proper
026representation when we review the not only the performance of charter school but also ensuring that the those that are existing on district property are taking care of the property as they should have thank you trust fam uh trustee chavez i see your hand up but one second um trustyfam you brought up some i think for me like red flags when you say some issues with dwk so i'm not sure what those are what the emails are about but i just you know i mean i i haven't heard any issues and i know i personally don't have any issues or haven't been open to any issues but if there are i trust that you would bring them for if they needed to be at that time i just wanted to say that because i know in
027the past we've had issues and maybe there were known maybe they were not known but when you bring that up for me it's a red flag and i just feel like i need to say that about that so i trust you trustee pam and i know that if there was anything that you thought should be brought forward that you would bring that forward no no madame for if i need point of order to to clarify that no uh some people have just written to me that they don't like the law firm that is all so i should have rephrased that but i also wanted to make sure that you know that again this is a reputable law firm with experience in that experience in those areas we need assistance written that we uh as i
028said i'm voting in favor of the agenda items so that we can move forward with uh regulating the charters more effectively thank you trustee fam trustee linda thomas you're on mute linda okay thank you uh so mr rogelio our council for the district referred to the bond council services that we're going to be needing later so in in asking for this retainer now um is there a time limit like a year is there going to be some kind of time limit on it and also um he what was mentioned was voting and assisting uh us on charters as well as bond council services so are we doing the bond count is that now that that they will represent us is or is it just now for the charters and i see dr bauer going no
029no no so uh there's several questions did you want to go ahead and answer that dr bauer and can i have the floor after you do thank you i mean if you wanna ask i was just reacting because the it's very specifically around the charter we already have the contract the initial contract with dwk it's about other contracts right that was the the original ask now this other piece about charters came to us and that we needed to do that and we felt that it was appropriate to bring that to the board for transparency to us to say this is some extra support we need that's it nothing else bond counsel is not part of this at all we're gonna go to the same process we went through in terms of selecting the board is
030going to you know colvera is going with an rfp firms have uh responded to that we're going to bring that whole process again for the board to select born council okay because before i feel that we did not have at um firms were supposed to pick from three so their answer you cut off linda so i'm not sure um dr bauer did you understand your question can you repeat your question trustee chavez uh my internet keeps going unstable and it keeps just move on to the next person please thank you okay any other trustees want to address this issue questions comments concerns okay um the information that we have is very detailed um you know for what and the additional amount which is important um and we definitely need it as a trustee as a
031as a district i'm sorry and so as a trustee i will be supporting this as well so i'll go ahead and call for the vote at this time as i see you on my screen trustyfam you can mute yourself hi hi uh hold on i see dr bauer's hands up was it moved a second not yet to approve move to approved by trustee bacharano second second by trustee fan thank you dr bauer okay now we'll uh go ahead and call for the vote trustee fem hi jesse vergarano aye trustee chavez no vice president quintero hi and myself i all right thank you moving on to item 302 facilities update for information only dr bauer thank you madam president this is an update for the board on the direction you gave us regarding facilities and i'm
032going to ask mr cheng to present the update good evening can you hear me yes thank you good evening uh madam board president members of the board and superintendent dr bauer tonight i'll be giving a brief um update regarding our facilities and potential partnership um with that as you may recall on october 26 2021 the board authorized the administration to seek potential partnership with the goal to generate streams of revenue with those partnerships which includes a partnership with the charter schools since then the administration has engaged with two potential partners the first one is goodwill of silicon valley and the second one is san juan batista child development center um with respect to the goodwill of silicon valley um some of the services that we've been talking uh that could be rendered to the families
033of of arlen rock includes the following uh workforce development center which includes which covers um constructions hvac and potential electric electricians um we'll also be bringing some wellness programs access to public benefits financial literacy education and coaching and recreational programs both indoors and outdoors with regards to sjb child development centers the two programs that we have been uh discussing about is surrounding infant and toddlers program um and also expanding um their before and after school program for school-aged people which they're currently running um already at uh at one of our site at casell um again all of these are very preliminary and early stages of conversation um so once once we have uh more information and things start to materialize more then we'll bring more updates to the board but at this time this is
034where we're at and i'll be happy to take any questions that the board has thank you mr chang at this time i'll open it up for any questions or comments from the board concerns all right i don't uh trust you yeah can you hear me i could okay yeah i just want to say i'm excited about um this work i want to thank the team for moving on the direction that we provided and you know i think we provided that direction a specific direction recently but this work is some you know it's something that we've been working on individually and as a team for for a long time i was just looking at actually some pictures popped up on my stuff from prior to the pandemic and dr bauer and i were kind of starting
035to visit and talk with some people about workforce development and i know she's been doing a lot of work around that even during covid and then you know it's also reflective of some of the the feedback or or the what we received from our 7-eleven committee about the types of repurposing that they would like to see which we said at the time aligned with what we were working on already so i think it's you know it's shaping up nicely obviously preliminary but again thank you to the team for continuing to push this forward as it i think it reflects where you know what we what we put into our vision and mission statements it reflects what the community feedback has been and and i personally think it reflects um you know a very good option
036for our families and our on our students here in the district so thank you thank you trusted and i was so excited like you are that i forgot to go to public comment first so i'm going to do public comment after um so yes i see trustee pam and trustee chavez will go in that order trustee family uh i too want to express uh one this auspicious news and that that we're able to uh put put our uh you know put our facilities to uh to serve a greater public purpose but also while ensuring that uh you know our our district uh is also a a beneficiary of this partnership uh and that i i look forward uh to you know to further progress in in our uh and our continuing ability to uh provide
037crucial public services uh to our community with our resources in a uh you know in a fiscally sustainable manner thank you trustee family trustee travis uh yes i wanted to ask if you could send us a little more in-depth information on what these two partnerships how they these partnerships operate uh such as a a business um model or something that that they have so uh we can know a little bit more about them and how they're going to help the community thank you thank you trustee chavez um see no other hands i'll go ahead and um include my comments oh i see vice president i just want to thank the administration for the work they've done on having these conversations i'm looking forward to seeing uh them proceeding and seeing what uh proposals come forth
038to make sure that uh we can go ahead and move forward to win win for the district for the community um for for everyone so um looking uh forward just to see what the future holds thank you so much um and with that you know i was going to mention it with trustee chavez but you know i think on this we're all in the same page and um i look forward to i know we asked for you all to come and give us just an update and so you did thank you so much and like trustee chavez mentioned i know that the next steps will include some of these things you know um in regards to possible plans partnerships the next step um to ensure that we bring partners to our district that have you
039know our children right in our communities at the center of um what we will represent together because it will be a partnership and so you know something that they can align with perfect timing we're going through our strategic planning as well um to continue to refine what that looks like for our communities right what it looked like 90 years ago 30 years ago 10 years ago five years ago doesn't look like what it looks like today and so this is just an exciting time um you know trusty vegano mentioned this is something that we've been working towards and uh here we are um and you know i know we're in the middle of our strategic planning so it's just it's really exciting of where we're at and the conversations that we're having and the partnerships
040that you know are saying yes we want to partner with you um because unfortunately i remember at a time where they were like we want nothing to do with you know you all so you know i'm glad that things have changed and um we're looking forward to seeing who that is the best partner um would be for our our district for our children for our future generations once we're all gone right and um past that uh it's something that is sustainable um and so i look forward like trusted child was mentioned right what those plans look like what that uh partnership will look like to ensure that those uh partners that we bring in and the services that are provided through our buildings the land you know uh that are continuous um till you know
041maybe i don't know 30 60 70 years when it needs to maybe change at that time because services might you know be uh the needs might be different and so yeah i'm excited thank you so much um and i look forward to the next conversations to what that can look like thank you mr chang and thank you dr bauer um and i'm gonna go ahead and open it up for public comment at this time before we move on to the next item uh mr pena if you can help me with public comment on this item what president there are no speakers okay we'll wait a couple seconds any now no speakers at the time okay okay thank you so much and now we'll move on to item 401 um approve the district governance handbook um
042and before we come to public comment i know this is an item that we've brought up several times maybe fourth fifth time i remember we started when uh you know board trustee chavez was board president at the time we did a lot of work when trustee hirano was board president um and i know that we've also done a lot of work on it now that i've been here um and i just think it's time that we finalize it and that we get it done um you know until it's time again to revisit and so um what i'll do is i'll open it up for public comment uh go back to consistency here on this item and then um and then we'll open it up to the trustees uh mr pena any members of the board
043wishing i'm sorry public wishing to address support on this item there are no speakers currently okay we'll wait a couple seconds any no no okay okay so i'll go ahead and open it up for the trustees to see if they have any questions comments concerns i have some suggestions and but i'll wait to hear from the rest of the board if i don't see any hands up then i can make my suggestions and then hear from you all after to see what you think okay i don't see any hands up so i'm gonna i'm gonna share my suggestions um i did get a chance to share that with trustee carano um i wanted to obviously um connect with at least one of you uh before the meeting and so i sent those to him and
044he did have some suggestions so i apologize trustee uh but i know that i i what i have right now i'm gonna reflect on the screen i don't have your edits reflected so um i'll just open it up for any comments and then maybe if agreed then we can add those okay can you see my screen yeah okay all right hmm that's kind of let me minimize this all right uh so on page nine um these are the areas that are when i went through it again i noticed were unfinished so my suggestions are what i'm proposing is on page nine on the top after it states we agree that we include the board by law 9200 so basically to include the language to follow the provisions of board by law 9200 and then state
0459200 after that which is what's on my screen here so that's on page nine on the top and then um [Music] obviously we delete the language in parentheses and then that language word states developing key messages about the topic so that's on page 9 and then on page 11 my suggestion is to include these four bullet points after we agree [Music] and if you'd like me to read it out loud i'm happy to do that uh please let me know otherwise it's on the screen um so i know the the first one is the board by law 9200 which is a little longer and i'm happy to read it out loud um after we agree i propose to include to follow the provisions of in board by law 9200 the board of trustees recognizes that
046the board is the unit of authority over the district and that a board member has no individual authority board members shall hold the education of students above any partisan principle group interest or personal interest and then it has in parentheses political process role of the board governance standards conflict of interest and meeting conduct unless agreed to by the board as a whole individual members of the board shall not exercise any administrative responsibility with respect to the schools or command the services of any school employee individual board members shall submit requests for information to the superintendent board members shall refer board related correspondence to the superintendent for forwarding to the board or for re uh placement on the board's agenda as appropriate so that's for page 9 and then page 11 after we agree i propose
047to include all communications should provide general factual information to the public all communications shall not involve deliberation debate or decision making regard regarding district business all communications pertaining to the district including personnel must be directed to the superintendent to be addressed by the appropriate staff and all communications should be clear that they are the response of an individual not of the board okay please stop sharing so i can see you all all right um any thoughts comments concerns questions yeah thank you so um as you know i i had a just a quick chance to oops can you hear me i don't know if you could hear me okay um i had a quick chance between work and the meeting to look over what you the work you did thank you for um you know
048doing this work and and sharing it um and i the first part the the part on page nine i i i like all that i'm i'm i'm good with all that i'm good with all of it um but on page 11 those bullet points i just had some the way it's written um i don't i don't think my suggestions change the um the intent or the content but i guess the best way for me to to share that will just be to read what i have for them unless you would like me to do something different or have a different suggestion i think if you read it out loud it would be good because yeah i'm with your edits or or if you have specific edits whatever you think is appropriate i think it makes
049most sense if i just read each bullet point and i'll be as quick as i can so the first bullet point actually can you be slow so that money can hardly be okay well i can send i mean if we whatever the sec direction we decide to go i can send whatever i have to maribel um but i'll pace myself okay so the first bullet point i have all communications from board members to the public should endeavor to provide only general comma factual information period and then number two board member communication with the public should never include deliberation comma debate comma or suggest that any particular decision will be made or action taken regarding district business and then number three all communications pertaining to the business of the district comma including personnel comma must be
050directed to the superintendent capitalized to be addressed by the appropriate staff and the last one all communications from individual board members should clearly indicate that they represent the perspective of that individual board member comma and not of the board as a whole period so those are my little tweaks kind of i i appreciate the sentiment and all of the bullet points as they were um put forth by you president erlotta and i just those are just my suggestions and minor tweaks but i don't think they i don't think they change what um the intent is so and i can repeat whatever is needed if necessary thank you um what i'm gonna do is try to because you did send those to me in writing so i'm gonna try to see if i can kind of
051pay them paste them and put them also on the screen so that we can all see them if necessary um but in the meantime i'm gonna open it up for any comments questions concerns from the rest of the trustees okay see none i see trustee fam is a muted like he's about to say something no no no no thank you okay so just give me a few seconds to see if i can um do that um unless you all feel good of what you heard i know some of us are more visual so i'm gonna do my best to put that on the screen as you're doing that madam president if i can um just make a comment so i i think that um the reason why i appreciate you putting this here is because
052i do think with so much going on in our district in all different facets from programming to academics to you know stuff with parents i think it's key um to that we provide a consistent message that lines up with the the facts and and um you know actual [Music] uh decisions that have been made by the board and so i i do think you know because we get so many emails as board members and i'm sure staff as well or different types of contact contact that we get it's easy to to want to try to respond to everybody and and and in doing so i think sometimes that leaves open the potential for um conflicting messages or varying little slight variances and messages so that you know maria who emailed on thursday gets a slightly
053different version than jose who emailed on tuesday and next week that someone might get it another different version and in a couple of weeks we have a lot of different stuff out there and so you know i understand that we as board members should have the ability and and do have the right to speak as individual board members and provide our our perspectives and i think that's important part of our role so that the community knows where we stand on any particular issue but i do think that it's equally important that we put some focus some intentionality on trying to ensure that the messaging that we put out is um you know is consistent across board members and is reflective of um either the powers that we have as board members or the decisions that
054have already been taken in a public meeting so um i guess i'm kind of trying to stall for time while while you're doing all that but i also think that for me those are why it's important that we um include this in in our in our handbook here so those are my comments on that and that's all i can stop i don't know and you know the internet whether it's right here in this hole that i'm at it's just not working for me so i'm wondering can you just share your screen if we if that's possible if anybody needs it maybe we don't and maybe we have a motion and maybe trustee because wanted to add to that and then you can go from there um with what we have oh there you go oh
055nice yeah so it's this obviously this bottom part here and red [Music] i'd like to make a motion to accept this as is after the red with the red okay motion by trustee uh chavez oh second second by vice president quintero okay yeah thank you so much that was easy trust me i don't know if that was much what i was trying to do okay um so with that i'm gonna um i already opened it up for public comment i think so all right let's um let's go to the boat as i see you on my screen you changed all of a sudden trust your fam i see with herano hi mr chavez hi vice president quinteno hi and myself i nice all right thank you so much um i just returned from csva and
056this was like huge you know as a governing you know a district we know you know we've been going to trainings some of us have been going more than others some of us have been asking for more so that was huge so thank you so much um trustee bauer you want to add something well superintendent bauer and it's not even that late i just want to be very clear you guys accepted those uh edits and i just wanted to be clear even once those edits are added are you uh approving the handbook as is so that we can publish it and put it on our website because that's the main thing about approving it yes actually my most sorry i i i thought you stopped um so my motion was to approve it as is
057with the red correction edits that was my motion travis i just wanted to be very clear that everybody is clear that this is the entire handbook yes thank you trusted chavez for including that language okay um great and with that we'll go ahead and adjourn our meeting at 7 27 pm thank you have a good night good night good night so are we going to go on a separate link yes dr bauer
