018thanks to our special education director tony colonna who uh i tell you uh for someone who is working out of the central office i have seen few people who know all these students not just on first name basis but able to seamlessly intervene uh when the moment needs it i mean i mean i i you know i i went to lindale and that's where i first actually interacted with the disabled students and uh just like that come in and deal with a child a non-verbal child with autism in and out it speaks volumes of the uh quality of those who who serve our district and so i'm very grat gratified to be able to see our district provide such a valuable service to our students and not only that a free service our some of

019our neighboring districts like mount pleasant or georgian 890 we're providing this service for free for 3 000 students to to combat learning loss and it was such an experience to to see what album what our district is all about up close secondly uh i also had the privilege of attending the uh opening of the 50th anniversary of pride in santa clara county historical exhibit and uh lord uh let me know that uh i had a chance to meet principal montez of san antonio out there and it's a very it's telling that not only do we educate a broad cross-section of the people in our community but a broad cross-section of the community actually works to educate our children too so uh i really want to say truly it's a pleasure to see that you know

020we are literally uh a community a community run and supported school district and so it was a great thing to get to know our schools better get to know our staff better and also get to see some of our administrators outside the school setting and to talk about issue [Music] issues of concern they have so uh i certainly look forward as the school year as the school when the school year starts to reach out to our district school by school thank you trusted femme uh chelsea yes thank you um so just briefly one thing i i kind of wanted to acknowledge that um as you know we kind of at the end of this past month basically i've gone through half of the calendar year and so i was just reflecting on some of the

021work that we've done as a board and as a district and i knew we we've been meeting a lot and doing a lot of work but just to quantify that including so if we include tonight's meeting and the meeting that we'll have later this month on the 22nd that's 18 meetings that we've had board meetings here um in seven months so you know i typically it's a meeting per month but because of all the work that we've been doing together with our partners and community we've had 18 meetings in seven months and that's not including the all of the work that's gone on with committees and so you know that's just i think speaks to some of the results that we've seen recently for our district in terms of um learning retention for our students

022in terms of parent satisfaction i always say that there's definitely room for improvement in everything we do but the hard work that the staff has put in the community the board shows in the number of times that we've been meeting doing this work throughout the past just six seven months now and we still have a full plate ahead of us so i want to say that you know alum rock as a district is is doing the work and the results are beginning to show and um and so i'm proud of that and i want to thank our staff and our community for all of that hard work and i look forward to continuing that the other thing i wanted to mention is i had read an article this month and then i was able to

023follow up with a conversation with um some early education and and other colleagues in in the area about um the whole learning retention and socialization for youth and and you know we were just discussing some of the research that there is about the importance of students being in the classroom and being able to return back to normal um you know it's it's been so long that we've been on zoom or whatever it kind of feels like this is slowly becoming the normal but we need to remember that you know the importance of being in the classroom is key to our the success of our students that we've done as a district all of the things that we need to do to make sure that the children are safe we've taken all the precautions we have

024all the equipment and materials that we need to ensure that we opened up in a kind of like an opening light last year and we had my understanding is zero um zero cases of kovid during that opening kind of soft opening that we did last year and so now with you know again always room for improvement but with more and more people ideally being vaccinated i think that it's time that parents and we as a community begin to weigh the um the precaution that we all have with the importance of having students back in the classroom and and particularly you know from an early age from those you know our younger students it's important that they start off their educational career with that um in person real life face-to-face um experience and so you know

025we're in the summer and i know parents are are thinking about what's going to happen what's next and so i would obviously respect everyone's decision but i think it is time to at least safely begin to consider the importance of students being back in school as we all begin to return to back to what we knew as normal so that's it thank you everyone and stay cool because i'm hot right now in this room thank you trustee vegeta anybody else uh vice president quintero yeah um i also want to um yeah i won't belabor though so wargram fam already talked about our uh our uh our visit to lindale and to the uh to be we were able to observe some amazing work from the special ed department out there with a very very um

026you know amazing group of of staff and an amazing group of kids that are out there learning through different body golgi's were able to observe some of the strategies that they use to be able to help all children learn and so i was very very excited for that and to see that we are providing an enhanced service that not all not all other districts are providing and i think it's it's important to really that alum rock is going out there above and beyond other folks have chosen to for whatever reason um contract out this type of work lmroc has chosen to double down and invest in all of our kids to make sure that all of our kids have access to a quality and dignified education here in their in their home district so very

027very excited to see that in action uh appreciate the staff um principal kasturi basu and um and everybody who is out there uh the the summer principal whose name is keeping me right now but um i appreciate the the effort that they undertook to to give us a good um give us some good knowledge about what's going on out there i've also been able to observe uh alum rock's summer enhanced learning opportunities through the participation of my own kids and so my son's been participating in our summer programs and i have just been amazed at the strategies that have been used by our amazing uh teachers already that are there they happen to be our alumni teachers who are now teaching during the summer and um they're just employing different new strategies with the um

028with this summer program that has our kids really excited about learning and so really really i guess i'm using up that word excited it's a great program and i'm very very thankful that our district has gone above and beyond to go out there and make sure that everybody has access to um to to stem this the summer learning loss uh because we know that other districts aren't providing that to all of our kids to all of their kids and so that's uh that's what makes us special and i really really appreciate our mark for that for that reason and for a host of other reasons um i also am very very excited about the return to in-person instruction i myself will be returning to the classroom um and i will be the only instructor of

029political science uh in the classroom and offering that to our students um and for my respective institutions um however i am very very concerned about you know i'm going to continue to be cognizant and so while i'm excited about going back in the classroom i'm still going to make sure that we as a district continue to pay attention to state guidelines and uh public health department's uh recommendations we unfortunately have been hearing about the sydney australia going on three weeks of lockdown and so the fact of the matter is that while many many of us are really excited to get in there and in person we need to be very very cautious as we proceed by still maintaining our masks and doing what we have to do to keep ourselves safe um i am very

030very i'm i've been very impacted by the person like my son he's two years old and he spent half his life locked up in a home where we've tried to go ahead and give him um experiences by talking to him um his siblings uh his mother my wife we have all been attempted uh we've we've all been continuing to make up for that that thing that you can only get with uh person-to-person interaction or those interpersonal type of interactions and so um i'm very i want to get back in there but i'm also very concerned about the news that we're getting from down south and the stuff that they're going through and this may not be the you know completely end of it so it's not true not to go against uh any comments that

031have been made but i want us to be very cautious if we proceed um because um as uh dr poucher just mentioned earlier this week it's not maybe we're not completely out of the woods yet i'm hoping that we are i'm hoping that his words are wrong and that we can go ahead and move forward but let's proceed with caution thank you vice president trustee chavez anything you would like before we continue anything you would like to yeah yeah i just wanted to thank all of the alumni staff and all the teachers for all their work in helping um the kids do their learning all their efforts and their work is much appreciated thank you uh and with that um i'd like to just um start off with uh as uh quintero uh board of

032vice president guido mentioned um unfortunately we're not out of the woods as a county as we've heard um and just a reminder that if you haven't gotten vaccinated you can for free um and also i want to thank all of our staff for keeping our children safe you know as uh was mentioned earlier uh from trustee de gerano is uh we had zero zero uh cases um of covet in our schools since we opened so um i know and i trust you know our staff um are doing above and beyond then you know what is kind of check off the box to ensure that our children are safe and so with that um we know that our children ages 12 and under still can't get the vaccine um but you know that doesn't mean that

033um and and and we understand as as a district that we're not out of the woods so we're going to continue to keep the safety precautions in place and ensure that every child that comes back um when you all come back in august 17th um is what we're looking forward to seeing all the beautiful faces um and that you know everybody can be there um safely including my daughter and so looking forward to that date to see all of our children and also some of you know being in mexico and being from mexico i remember growing up and a lot of my cousins were like a little bit ahead in the math you know on my level and things like that and um in my trip actually this year i never realized that um their

034kindergarten is actually three years and so i say that because you know i think um i know for me you know i started in preschool in kinder but i know we count the k through 12 right it's k-12 then college et cetera um but it's so important to start our children early and so if we have the opportunity to put them in tk and preschool i'm so part of our district we continue to open up programs for our younger children the importance of having that foundation for a child um and ensuring that they come in and so know that you know we're gonna ensure that they're safe keep our numbers small um and all the other precautions um but the importance right and and i appreciate um trustee uh quintero's uh mentioned as a father

035right at the parents of having that time to learn those things that are so important um and i also know that you know parents like me with a full-time job and full-time you know i'm here with you all i probably would have had wouldn't have that time if i had a fusculated child so just ensuring that our children have that uh experience um as a foundation and inviting you all that if you have children that are young you know trust us with your children bring them in to ensure that you know they have these doors open up for them that when they start kinder and they go to first grade and go on to middle school and high school and college um that they're prepared right um unfortunately they say that um the government looks

036at uh the test scores of third graders to determine how many prisons will be built um and so that says a lot right if our children are not prepared by third grade if they're um you know not not ready to to to go on to that next level um there's decisions being you know done and so let's do our part you know um we'll continue to provide and look for after-school programs and enrich uh this full experience more than um you know a regular school day um but let's do our part and if you're like on the fences like should i send them will they be safe we will keep them safe um and do your part at home right let's continue to wear our masks let's get our vaccine if we can as adults

037or the 12 and over and do our part in the community but i look forward to being out of the woods and being in a place where like okay we're done um so with that we'll go ahead and continue here with our meeting um item 401 approval of csva membership dues move to approve move to approved by trustee second second by texas travis um let's go ahead and if you're all okay with doing public comment and then we'll come back to any questions and comments from the board uh mr chavez can you help us with any members of the public wishing to address the board on this item is board president at this time we have no speakers okay we'll wait a couple seconds and you know still none okay we'll go ahead and bring

042uh trustee vacarano yeah just a a request for dr bauer if you could just share um with us what the importance of you know these types of of events and and the benefit that the district gets from being able to you know have these different or have these opportunities to work with colleagues from all over the place and just how that benefits the district in terms of your capacity and ability to bring us the best that we need from our superintendent thank you trustee vegeta well i was invited to speak in this particular conference and i feel very honored um that they reach out to to me and say that wanted to uh for for me to present to the national forum how we did during covet and i think i'm very proud of about

043that people are noticing that alum rock is a model in so many ways we are also a model for early learning and social emotional learning programs and so the organizers of this particular conference were very uh impressed with some of the kinds of things that alan rock has introduced to the field and so in this particular time i'm going to be learning a lot from other superintendents across the nation um this is where um i don't know if you have had a chance to see the little video from from the reopening and how we were going to have our classrooms and all of that and that was an idea that i got from my colleague in miami-dade from that specific school district on how they because they they brought back students since the fall so

044we learn from each other we exchange ideas that i you know that i i just figure out you know let's copy them why do we have to reinvent the wheel if that was a good idea i was very proud that we had our staff that immediately was ready to to do something similar to them and so those are the kinds of things in terms of communication programming efficiencies that i'm able to learn from other superintendents that are leaders in the nation to be able to bring back to alum rock and also that they can learn from us i think you should be very very proud of alam rock because of that because we have people who say we want to know more about how how you guys are doing this thank you for that thanks

045for that explanation dr bauer and congratulations i actually wasn't even aware that you were presenting so congratulations on that and i know you'll represent us well because alan rock has a good story to tell and so um thank you for that clarification so i just wanted that comment that's it and i'm just gonna say the other guy that was invited from the bay area was the superintendent in palo alto so we are in very good company whoops any other questions or comments from uh trustees i guess i just want to say congratulations to dr bauer for being chosen to represent our district at such a distinguished forum absolutely and i i did want to also congratulate dr bauer uh for being invited to speak um the wisdom that you carry you know you're so humble

046because you're like i'm gonna go learn and no like that wisdom that you carry as an educator and your time here at alum rock has not been in vain you've gone through you know all the experiences to experience from one extreme to the other and i know that you know they're gonna be learning a lot from you so they're blessed to hear you speak and we are very proud you don't have to doubt that at all very proud to have you there um and have our name you know go along with you because this is you and what you've earned and we're blessed as alum rock to be there with you also representing and so thank you for continuing to represent us well um vice president quintero yeah i very much appreciate um your uh

047getting out there and getting on rock steam up there um in a positive way because um this is what allows us to to be ready to take on grants and other opportunities those investments that are being made by organizations when they look at these these things oh you know so and so i saw her presenting at this major forum and they feel comfortable that there's credibility that there's organizations that are allowing alum rock to be put at the forefront through the superintendent and so thank you for stepping up representing the district and then i know that it'll come back and we'll wind up getting the benefits later on by the good will that it's going to engender thank you and it's just an addition to what trustee karana was talking about right the many meetings

048we've had this year the work that we're doing here on melham rock the good things that are happening that when you hear alum rock you know you turn around you say wow you're a part of that district you know congratulations i hear of just good things happening there so thank you for adding to that um and with that um hope you have a good time uh we know we know you will um and before that let's see if we went through public comments so we'll go ahead and take it to a vote now i'll start with trustee pam hi uh trustee with gerano aye trustee chavez hi vice president quintero hi and myself i all right now i can say have a good time and enjoy yourself um all right we're going to move on

049to 406 approval of the district governance handbook move to approve move towards i heard vice president say first and foremost one second i know that it's trustee and vice president seconds i'm just going as i hear you thank you um okay uh i see uh justin bieber karana's hand up are you okay with going to public comment first trustee canada okay um we're gonna go ahead and do a public comment at this time mr travis do we have anybody wishing to address the board on this item madam president at this time we have no one okay i'll go and wait a few seconds any now uh still none okay all right thank you uh moving on to trustees but hirano i know you had your hand up yeah i have um numerous nothing with regards

050to content necessarily just numerous kind of grammatical uh suggestions or corrections so i don't know if the best way is to just submit them to maribel or read them aloud here or there's about um there is a lot of them and i also know that we're missing the goals which is very important um so i don't know how do you guys feel about moving it to the next meeting and then i mean because there is a lot of them uh before adding it to [Music] are they right we have a special meaning i see trustee travis's hand up and then quintero mine are only grammatical i yeah i say i see we approve everything uh exclu but that we will be allowed to correct the grammatical errors because there is a lot of them um

051but i think that we do have to add the piece that the trustees the the page for was blank so i think we should maybe if we could proceed doing that so we could kind of get the ball rolling and and i like that so kind of like a first reading approval of everything up until now and then bring it back with is that what you're saying approve everything up until now no no i'm saying if we could get this done tonight and then uh just do the edits um as the as it already has been approved but with the edits we if we can just if they it can be sent to us because i i did all my edits and then i could send my pages and if there was something that the

052other trustees wanted to edit as well i think just like the minutes though just like the minutes we can't approve something unless it's a final version that's my understanding roger um is he on just want to confirm that i i think that's fine it's fine to do what's fine i'm sorry i think that madam president go ahead vice president if we move forward approve and then authorize for grammatical changes that don't change the substance of the handbook then we'd be in good uh and good and i think would be okay if counselor can win okay um yes and so that's one piece but i also know that we're missing the goals piece of this handbook so for me it wouldn't be finalized like it wouldn't be ready for me and send off there's still some

053work to do and so that's why i was saying do we approve everything up until now and then add or may i weigh in on that yes please so i so what i'm hearing is that the proposed uh edits are non-substantive they're grammatical i noticed some grammatical errors as well and i think that's fine i think that the board can approve the document that's in front of you now with the understanding that those grammatical changes will be implemented but the document to your point board president the document would need to come back to the board on the on the goals section because that needs to be filled in but i think it would be good progress to approve what's been what's been uh okay that's what i meant perfect if if so if the motion

054is then to approve everything up until now without obviously finalizing this handbook um if that that's okay with the motion i know uh trustee chavez and board vice president you all made the motion yeah that's fine with me um we move forward implement the grammatical changes and then bring it back next month for the to uh to finalize it with the goals okay okay um i see trustee fam to hand up and then trustee veterano so first of all i you know i uh i covered the grammatical errors on my with my one-on-one with superintendent bauer on tuesday so i submitted my errors but uh so based on that i think what i think the you know if these uh trusty chavez would wouldn't mind and first board vice president quintero but let's just amend

055the motion called an approval of the first draft because as as you mentioned madam president we don't have the goals so technically it's not quite there yet so we could approve this as a first draft now and then again bring it back later when we have the goals thank you trustee fam trustee veterano yeah my question is uh with regards to the goal so i think i've heard it mentioned a few times that we would bring it back next month with the goals but um as i mean with all these 18 meetings and maybe i'm a little cloudy on this but my recollection is that we still had not defined the specific goals and that was part of the strategic planning process um that i know we will be continuing with so i'm just wanting

056to get clarification on whether those goals are going to come from somewhere and and be ready for next month or are we going to have a special board meeting to identify those goals between now and next month or how would that come about and i guess the other question part of the question is the what is the specific um expediency needs of having this approved i think if we go with trusty fan suggestion and approving it as a draft form i think to me that that shows good progress and it doesn't necessitate us to necessarily have to rush to try to get those goals in within a month and we could do it in a more thoughtful strategic way trustee bauer i trust you uh superintendent barry i saw you put your hand up i'm

057not sure if there's a comment you wanted me i wanted to remind the board that we have that it's a strategic planning initiative that skowit is paying for and the the facilitators are already reaching out to our partners for interviews we have not brought more aggressive in you know work to the team because we were wrapping up the school year everybody wanted to have a break so the fall we're gonna take again you know a little bit uh more actions around that and that's where the goal setting um will happen because remember that as a board you also need to talk think in terms of the stakeholders and you will be getting some feedback from your stakeholders in terms of um goal setting i just want to re remind you about that um i know

058that there has been so many other things but it's you know whatever you guys decide is we will implement it's just a reminder in terms of goal setting and having there will be focus groups there uh there is an analysis of the interviews that they are conducting right now with some of our stakeholders and partners individuals and so you will have a lot of information also from that perspective thank you thank you trustee chavez we put a timeline on it say the second week of september um i'm not may i even i think that's our next meeting right i think that's the point we're making in regards to the brushing it i thought we had one in august i'm actually putting it two months back oh i'm sorry i'm sorry i i think if if

059we have a timeline we're more likely to meet it by september versus postponing it till later um superintendent would two would 60 days be sufficient two months if if i may um suggest the october meeting trustee chavez i just need to circle back with the agency that is the glenn price group that is working on this i believe they they already interviewed some of you i believe uh and so that's the kind of of data gathering they are going through right now i just need to circle back some of the partners have not reached back to them you know what i'm saying so they will i will be able to give you a better uh sense of timeline um in the next four meeting uh or in our one-on-one but if you allow us to

060do the october i think it will give what i will consider plenty of time october will work so do you want to put that in the motion or yes please so do you have the emotion that um okay so we'll do there's another motion on the table but okay so we'll approve the to approve the uh the handbook uh by october 2021 uh for the first draft and the the goal i think approved that first half today yeah right with the edits and then i wasn't done yet okay with the edits thank you i'm sorry um yeah i don't think i did october 2021 first draft with the edits is that not my understanding but uh let's see trustee i mean i i understand as trustee chavez stated it and maribel repeated it i just

061i don't think that motion reflects the discussion that we just had because based on the motion we're not approving anything tonight we're were that we're just pushing it to october basically i think if i may um just to recollect the conversation i think what trustee chavez's intent was if you'll allow me is to approve approve a first version or draft or whatever you want to call it tonight with the acknowledgement that grammatical errors will be sent and corrected and in november i mean october we will finalize which will include the goals that's kind of perfect so no action today thank you for uh clarifying that um trusty chavez so actually the way he said it but without the first draft uh language in it just say approval for the handbook by you know and then

062put the stop date on it and then you know of october 2021 with with the edits that's not what i i'm sorry go ahead vice versa i'm comfortable with the draft part because it is a draft because if you say approval the handbook then we approve the handbook instead we're approving the handbook in october correct okay let's move forward let's let's do that with the first draft okay is that comfortable for everybody okay uh so can we can we vote on it what so what are we voting on tonight i just want to make sure i know what i'm voting on can say i know but let's see can somebody repeat what we're voting on right now i think what i heard was that tonight we will approve the first version or draft i don't

063know what language trustee chavez wants to include but something along those lines um the first version with the acknowledgement that grammatical edits will be sent and corrected and in october and so that will be the first version approved tonight with this um motion and included in the motion is the acknowledgement that we will approve the entire document including goals in october so can we put the language to be finalized in october 2021 so it puts like a final date it we have till october 2021 is that okay yes could be finalized are you okay yeah i agree with them okay all right yay thank you we'll go ahead and take it to a vote and my screen's shifted here trustee chavez aye rusty pam aye festival fellaini hi vice president quintero hi and myself thank

064you all right item 407 discussion under action to reduce board members uh compensation for education code i'm gonna go ahead and open up to superintendent bower for um some of those details you were talking about and i would like to just mention i would like for the board to table this item until we receive the data from the state i'm gonna ask rogelio to explain the ed code because this is a an unusual formula and i would like for the public and for you all to be very clear about the formula thank you good evening board um so uh under the education code that section that's cited in the agenda there board member compensation is um benchmarked to average daily attendance ada in the district so for very large districts those board members receive monthly

065compensation that's greater than small districts with much less ada for purposes the reason we are having this on the agenda and this discussion is that under this ed code section for school districts that have ada that is less than 10 000 for the 10 000 or less for the prior year the the monthly stipend compensation is reduced to i believe approximately two hundred and fifty dollars a month that is not that two hundred forty dollars thank you yeah that that is not the end of the calculation so what the what the education code says that section says that for purposes of of of calculating average daily attendance for purposes of determining the board member compensation the ada for the prior school year may be increased by a school district's percentage of excused absences reported for

066the 1996 1997 fiscal year so uh that is in um education code section 35 120 89. and so to to do this calculation there's a formula we have to look at what your ada is for the prior year and then we have to look at excused absences for the 96 97 fiscal year unfortunately uh the method of reporting ada has changed over time and so the the part that that is missing from this calculation right now is what the excused absences were for the district in 1996 1997 i understand that the staff was looking through the district's hard files uh the cold storage and we they cannot find that data in your warehouses and so i know i understand that a request has been made to the state to see if the state still has

067that information available if it does then that may change the calculation on this there's one other issue that i want to alert you to which is during covid because of the impact on schools there was a hold harmless for school districts in terms of ada so what that means is that for funding purposes ada wasn't being measured last year during the pandemic the state was allowing school districts to use the reported ada from the previous fiscal year 2018 2019 so it's true that alum rock is a declining enrollment declining ada district but again because of the formula it's impossible at this point for me to be able to tell because of the missing information where the appropriate board compensation should lie under the ed code where i know that the superintendent is hoping to hear

068from the state in terms of archival information regarding 1996 97 fiscal year absences reported absences and excused absences but if we don't have that information within the next couple of weeks certainly before the next board meeting then i think the board should just take an action to to reduce the stipend okay i see many hands up um so hmm nice we'll go ahead and have that cover around one second hold on a second we'll have a conversation first since we're not sure we're gonna take a vote on this um and then open up for public comment go ahead trustee travis okay since um since i first read this and this was passed into in january first 2019 i was always asking dr bauer for how many how much was the ada's and so the last

069number that the district reported was 8 500 and then the crow report said that we had less than eight thousand and i said whoa can the state later on come back to the trustees just like the error that was done previously that one of the trustees spoke tonight it wasn't the trustee's fault it was the district heir but now i'm kind of trying to go on the side of caution because if indeed we do not do this or can the state come back later and charge us 160 uh the penalty each month thereafter that we don't do it so i think because the language and the law is set up clear for the districts that are lower than 10 000 and clearly we don't have ten thousand should we do this now and we and

070reduce the stipend to be on the safe side for one and to be on the law side for two um trustee travis i know you asked a couple a question there was that a question for rochello or you were just putting it out there uh i know i heard at least one question what was the question you heard can the state come in yeah i don't want to put words in your mouth was that a question for rogerio or no i i or the d.a because the da's the one that's coming after the trustees now because this is public funds and if it doesn't belong to us i don't think that we should receive it i think right i just want to make sure that that might if you will let me finish please my

071thing is is that we should correct this now instead of later um because it is the law thank you okay that's not that's not a question so i guess it's not a question to mr ruiz okay trusty fam okay so mine is a two-parter so question to general counsel so basically uh what what's needed to calculate under the relevant provisions of the ed code is current or current ada plus the was it the number of excused absences for 96.97 and then if that equals 10 000 then our confidence for in that case our compensation is set at the correct level but if it's less than 10 000 then yes the board will need to reduce its stipend am i correct thank you yes that's absolutely right okay so basically the long and the short is

072we are missing so we have you know it's kind of like a equation so you know a plus b equals c so we have a but we need b to figure out c okay very good so um based upon that uh you know i just want to preference we're not in this for the money i mean you know this is a small stipend this is pennies on the dollar i'm not i have a full-time job myself would benefit so this stipend is not important to me but given that it has an implication in regards to our district's ability to fight for funding and to maintain a sufficient capacity to provide an education for our students and i end up as dr bauer did reference that she has put in a request to the state for

073the 1996-97 data uh you know i believe that in the in the interest of the district um i would motion to direct administration to get to find this data and make it available by the uh was it by the end by the 31st of october and then to bring table this issue until the november board meeting and that way that way you know we we have a firm deadline we have directed the administration to get this relevant data and then at that time you know based upon the information we get from the state this board can take action at that time thank you trustee fam i see you vice president's hand up and then trustee chavez now the reference was made to a trustee i spoke earlier were you talking about trustee that spoke during

074public comment from another district or a trustee on this board from madam president no are you asking me the question yeah you uh remember okay so before you uh you were late today so you didn't hear a former alumni trustee come and say that the error was not any of the trustees fault because none of not this board nor the any of the previous boards going back 20 years ago since the district has been making this error um they were charged um the amount back because it was an error and they now have to pay it back so before you came this is the discussion that she said and so i'm saying to avoid all of this and um i know it's your time so i'm gonna let you speak and then i'll speak after

075yeah so oh i thank you for that clarification i was confused as to who was speaking you're talking about san jose every board member karen martinez who owes our district money and um and so you and i owed that money board member chavis you owed money to the district and you paid it i paid it immediately immediately i paid so we paid um so i'm not even sure why that came up but i'm uh but i think that there are ways in the ed code uh at code section 35120 has a provision so if there is any board member here who's concerned about any sort of repercussions in the future and stuff of that sort you can refuse to accept payment of the as an individual and nothing will happen you can avoid all this

076so i would suggest that if you have some serious concern you can go ahead and take that uh to avail yourself of that opportunity that the law provides uh while everybody else um you know waits to hear back from the state and settles this i think that it's very important um to make sure that this very working class area has the opportunity to to have some remuneration for those who provide uh who who choose to serve and and um and there is some recognition of of the work that's going on i think that our colleague uh went ahead and noted there's 18 meetings some of those meetings went up to three in the morning um it's you know we're not in it for the big bucks here um and uh that's most action does uh

077serve as a way of some remuneration and recognition of the work that's been put in by those who serve on the sport and i do appreciate that and um i will continue to support that if that's uh if that's allowed if uh council tells us we can continue okay good connection okay go ahead trusty travis i i want to give trustee pejerano a chance and then i'll go after because his hand was up before mine okay trustee with hirano yes thank you trustee travis so um i basically um i'm in agreement with everything that uh trustee quintetto just stated and i just um you know want to say that i i think we've been doing a good job as a board making decisions based on the information that we have um and i think that's

078a very prudent and responsible way to make a decision and like has been stated i'm my understanding i could be wrong but i don't think any of us here are dependent upon any com financial compensation to do this work i know that's not why any of us got into this but they're you know trusted keem federal reference there our time is you know you can consider it or some people might say our time is worth something we miss family events important family milestones in order to to commit to this and so you know when we get back to things there's also the question of the cost of gas and those types of things in attending meetings and all that so i would just say if if the data comes back and shows that we indeed

079should not um do need to modify then we do so and if it comes back saying that we are within um what is allowable and acceptable then then that should inform the decision at that time so um so that's my comment on that thank you okay trustee travis i'm gonna go ahead and say something before we go to youtube so i haven't said anything yet um so i i agree in regards to tabling it um until once we get that information and at that time if it is determined that we are then uh moving forward you know in in a way that um needs to be different that it's brought back um that's my suggestion otherwise we leave at as is and we don't bring it back um that's just my suggestion that once we

080get those numbers and it is determined that either we need to bring it back and make a change that it's brought back otherwise we don't need to bring it back again um that's my recommendation trustee travis and then vice president okay i i do have two questions um one of them first for dr bauer and the second one for mr rogelio and then i would uh make my statement after they answer the questions um dr bauer let's i'm just going to pick a year to make it simpler so in 2000 let's pick 2 000 when you 2007 when you first started and or 2008 any of the years that you started were any of the excused absences the total sum of 1 600 students any of those years any years stick out in 2014 as

081a superintendent no in 20 okay excuse me the the year you started or any year that sticks out to you that we had the highest excuse absences what was that number so when i started in alan rock i was a principal and i was not privy to the the district i'm sorry i i meant when you started a superintendent okay so that's 2014. when i started as a superintendent there were 12 000 students about 12 000 students um the average attendance of those 12 000 students was about ninety five percent so five percent i just wanna also say that before i started as a superintendent the state had no more excuse absences this all of these um plays into this formula and that's why i'm very i'm respectfully asking you to really let me get

082as much information from the state as possible because just if you were to extrapolate and i'm not a mathematician but just very raw math um if you when i started in fisher middle school alum rock had 15 000 students 15 000 that's what alum rock had so i suspect that in 96 and 97 those were the years where you were at 16 000. so if we have a pattern of attendance about 95 percent you're always above 10 000 no matter what right and so that's why if if it had not been this particular number this huge number i would not be asking the state i would not be you know i would not i would recommend you know let's follow exactly because i'm with you trustee chavez i don't want anybody to pay back i

083know that's not comfortable for any family i don't know whatever your case is is not comfortable for anybody i i agree with you but i also know that the numbers that the data is not what what we think it is it's not the the below 8 000 right now that when you look at the formula you you have a lot of room for being able to keep what it is fair because this is about being fair none of you i mean when when trustee pejerano said uh to me the other night is you know we have had 16 meetings uh if you multiply the hours not only that you were in a meeting but that you spend with me and i do appreciate that because you guys reach out to me you ask questions you

084do all of that on your own time you are way below the the minimum wage if you're talking about you know if you're talking about remuneration so this this 400 a month does not cover the amount of work that you as a trustee do and so i just want to be fair in terms of honoring the formula who knows they might change someday i don't know but that's what we have right now right and if because the number is so significant i am pretty sure that and by the way this is my second time reaching out to the state the first time we reach out to the current student information warehouse the calpads and they don't have anything before calpads and this is the state so i had to figure out do a little bit

085more digging to see what other department in the state may have this specific information so the apportionment department is the department in charge of the number the money that every district gets and obviously you get that money depending on the ada right so they have to get they have to have something you know because they they're the ones that deal with the money the response that i got just you know you ask and i have to explain [Laughter] the response that i received from the state was that they are under covet right now the states the rest of us are back in you know in real life in the the that they are because of kobe they are delaying in the responses uh right now it's in the very beginning of the year where if

086the governor just approved the budget they're figuring out how much everybody's gonna get so i don't know if i'm gonna have an answer by the end of the month this month can i want everybody to know that okay you've been trying to ask my other can i finish my okay so my other uh thank you dr bauer for that uh explanation so um before i ask him a question in response to what you said even though if like you said the average was five percent um and if you had twelve thousand four hundred ada's you would still it would still be that you were you would you had to have reported fifteen percent absences in order to come up with that one thousand six hundred uh more figure that you need of 10 000 ada's

087i uh mr race let me uh ask you the question uh i think please correct me if i'm wrong i think i heard when mr uh pham asked you if we should do this now i i thought i heard you say yes uh me i have no problem returning any money but i don't want to take money that doesn't belong to me and that they overpaid i i don't feel right about that so mr reese since you get paid the big bucks what would you recommend well so let me clarify something so there are two different numbers involved one is ada average daily attendance which you report every october november that time frame and then the other is the total number of excused absences for 96.97 so those are two two entirely different numbers i

088think to your point remember chavez you're saying well you're doing the math you're doing the math and you're saying well there would have to be a total number of absences uh to to get a thousand but and i and i understand and i appreciate that way of thinking about it and that's one of the reasons dr bauer and i have been discussing this is because in 96 97 i'm very confident looking at historical data that your total enrollment and total ada at 96 97 was much higher than it is now and my experience in this area tells me that with you know 16 17 000 enrollment in 96 97 if you had uh you know that you probably had in that year you know a certain number of absences probably most of which were then

089considered excused so having worked on this issue with other school districts that's been my experience looking at historical data is there were there were a large number of excused absences back then and so that you know once we plug that number into the formula it pushed districts over certain thresholds so you know to get to your original part of your question i don't believe that mr pham i could be wrong but i don't believe that mr pham asked me that i agreed that the board should take action on this i you know i see it as my role as just to help guide the board on what the issues are and i would just say that there is a critical uh there is a piece of information that is critical that is still missing and

090we are sort of in our last place where we might be able to find that information and so and hopefully within the next 30 to 45 60 days and so i would you know i think it's it's ultimately the board's decision whether or not he wants to act on this tonight i would also say that you know the board vice president was correct that it's clear that the board individual board members do not have to take all or any portion of the stipend that's granted to board members that is an individual board member choice there's nothing that any of your fellow board members can do to make to compel you to accept that so i would say as a matter of individual choice if you do feel uncomfortable with it you can certainly make that

091direction to the staff as well um and then i have one more question when when i guess you're both going to ask the state about that that inquiry um can you ask what number like what's the final number if we do consider the absences and stuff so is it always just blank ten thousand adas or you know i i just wish that they would clarify it you know because now that you put the other part in of the 1996 and if we work next year on it is there a number like a stop number could you ask them on that well i mean the code gives us a formula for all different districts of all different sizes but i can assure you that once we get our hands on that data we're going to lock

092it in a safe [Laughter] [Music] it's it's always very difficult to find archival data like this and so once we get it yes it will be preserved and this will be crystal clear going forward thank you you're muted go ahead vice president uh madame president i think you set forth a good course of action which said go out there get the information and then um superintendent can go ahead and work with council to crank out that formula and if there is a change that needs to be made then bring it back to the board if the data says that there's nothing that needs to be changed there's a reason why we need to continue to belabor this point so i would suggest that that seems to be the consensus of the majority of the board

093and we move forward and stop uh spending so much time on this one item because that's me agreed thank you uh trustee fam anything else you'd like to add to that no okay with that suggestion i am okay so i'm willing to amend my or you know to direct administration and general counsel to find that indeed a report back to the board and great i don't think there was a motion so i think uh are you uh superintendent you're okay with that just get getting the data and then if it needs to come back for a vote then we'll do it at that he did motion i'll second it now he did make a motion earlier i did and i did yeah and i'm second in it your second is the motion earlier yes he

094made the motion he made the motion as soon as he started talking he made the motion remember you don't miss he made a different motion so i'm just wondering what you're seconding i'm seconding fam's mo motion i don't think we need i guess what i'm saying is i don't think we need to vote on this no no i made a motion to table at the time i made a motion to table right and i'm seconding his motion i just want to confirm trusty found because i know you said dates at that time and all that so that's why i i said i am amended the motion just to direct administration in general counsel to get the data and report back to the board you know when it is received and i'm seconding the direction the

095min fam game perfect thank you trusted travis we'll go ahead and open it up then for uh public comment at this time uh madam president at this time there is no comment okay we'll wait a couple seconds and just to clarify uh board member fam's motion your uh report back to the board could be a report to the board via a written message that hey the formula came back we don't need to take more time on a board meeting to deal with this right yes yes you can thank you okay um any other uh chavez anybody else raise your hand still none madam president thank you okay um justine i think you had your hand up before we moved on you didn't okay just want to make sure everybody was heard all right we'll go
