001[Music] [Applause] [Music] no no no [Music] hello [Music] [Applause] [Music] no no no no [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so um at 50 percent and the only way to get there to make it 50 is to is to change the the voting areas which again impacts the school areas and knowing that we're legally okay that that we don't have to change and it would be my desire to keep these schools the feeder schools together as much as possible and the only way i can see that happening is to maintain uh as we are which i believe would be called scenario one so that is the direction i'm on i'm headed would you like to make a motion to that effect so that way sure i
002can make a motion that we accept scenario one our current status okay i will second that motion all right we have a motion in a second to accept uh scenario one as our trusty area option um i'll open it for discussion again and i'll start with you and marie and then i'll go this way i think that um thank you for watching and listening i just i i feel the same way um i would love we'd love to balance out we'd love to um to uh to do that and and make the c-vap um of course because that was that was what the direction was to make sure that we tried to do that but i um you know finding out that we would have to um change the the schools um i just feel
003that stuff it wouldn't be worth it um and i'm the one that has to bear the brunt of the extra but you know i just feel at this time if we're in compliance and as i said before that was the first question um that i asked were we in compliance and and we have been so i didn't see the the need to do this but we did and when we tried to find the variance and we tried to find the um you know get up to uh change it would change the boundaries of the school and i'm i'm totally against that so i am in agreement with mr o'neal okay i'll go to my right okay i expressed my opinion at the last time and i still maintained that the whole purpose of districting was
004to give our people our citizens the opportunity the minorities to have the opportunity to maybe you know be closer to be able to elect someone from their group and this is not let's say maintaining yes we're okay maintaining our districts but that doesn't satisfy the whole idea of the districts and as far as keeping feeder schools together i brought this out the last time i have to my area three different schools who are not in my area and yet i you know they are the people there are people in that area in my area that feed western even though it's not my school they feed magnolia they feed dale but they're not in my school orangeview it doesn't matter and i mean and like the citizens who live above my area in your area brian
005you know they go to kennedy but that you know i have a lot of people that feed kennedy okay i have a lot of people that feed walker so it doesn't really matter to me this was all a political thing not keeping our feeder schools all together because we're supposed to represent all the schools no matter who they are and you know the only thing is the people in a certain area are the ones that vote for us and that's all so that's why i don't i just you know it you know we'll we'll stay within that thing but it's not even it's not evening out the voting areas as much as if we had made the change so that's why that's why i feel thank you half a dozen of one in the other
006but that's what to me it it was the purpose of this was for people voting and we're supposed to represent all of them and we represent them whether they're in our area or not thank you miss fishy miss smith ann marie i could barely understand anything you said my apologies and i just i concurred with with mr o'neal just put it that way and i i did hear brian and i'm come very comfortable with that with scenario one all right thank you miss uh smith and and i wanna i wanna say a few words as well i know everybody heard what i had to say at the last world meeting and miss piercy i don't want to belabor this uh conversation but in terms of no i will because you had made a comment about
007politics right so uh it's it's not about politics it's about making sure i think when i initially came in and asked uh if i if i remember accurately and if you go back and check our youtube videos when i brought up the issue of wanting to actually go ahead and change the scenario i think you were comfortable with scenario one at that point right so the reason that i actually made the argument to have different options is to get to that point of trying to see if we could go ahead and create a second district which will be a majority latino district which then allows them to elect their not not a latino person but at least the person of their choice into that district but my primary concern was always to make sure that
008our feeder patterns were taken care of and even if we don't my only issue is in the trusty area that we're looking to kind of make the change which is anaheim and sycamore the area that i represent if you take a look at it there's only two schools in that area and if you take a look at the attendance boundaries majority of the attendance boundaries is within that trustee area so i don't want to and the reason that i was not in support of the other two is to show that to make sure that our communities of interest who are the same families who send their kids to sycamore who send to anaheim would get a trustee that their they know that is their representative that they could go and advocate for i don't think
009you get anybody from anaheim in sycamore or anaheim area coming to mr o'neal or coming to you and saying hey we have an issue at anaheim high school or sycamore junior high i've always consistently had sycamore junior high parents come in and ask and a matter of fact i even had a conversation yesterday and today about parent groups wanting to discuss issues and they know who that trustee person is so that they could they're comfortable and they know that that person is going to be dealing with anaheim high school and that's the reason that i am going to stick with uh scenario one so having said that i could go a little bit deeper into the discussion of politics but no i'm not let me ask one question al is the attendance area for sycamore
010i didn't look at this the exact same as you know in in all of it in the area for anaheim yeah is it all right if you take a look at that those are only high school boundaries right so if you take a look at the sycamore area you do get a few of them going there but what i wanted to do was to make sure that we capture the high school area boundary as much as possible because the families do all right but that's the difference it's you you're we're trying as much as possible but you're not getting them all no and that's the point and the point is those people should still feel comfortable going to you whether they are in your area to elect or not i i think that's the issue
011of you know the argument i also part of why i supported district elections is not only because we wanted to give the opportunity for a minority community elect their choice of representative but it was also democracy in terms of grassroots democracy where a person in that neighborhood could know their representative and go and talk about the issues most often sycamore parent issues are the same as anaheim high school parent issues and when they come in they have a kid most often they have a kid who's going to sycamore and anaheim so i mean regardless like i said i could go more into the political topic of it but i'm not i'm just going to go ahead and be respectful of everybody's time okay i know that looks like we have so if somebody is in
012in anne marie's area but they're going to sycamore are you going to tell them i can't deal with you because you know you're not in my area well that's why absolutely no i and i think we are still able to to even go back to your initial point of view all represent everybody i've told you that this at the last meeting i've had parents of cyprus who come up to me and asked about issues and it's like i have parents from other high schools that come up to me i think that could still be done what i am saying with this particular map what we know is that for the past since we adopted in 2014 parents are comfortable with the way that they know who their representative is and they know where the boundaries
013lie so i want to keep that moving forward and because it's not making a big difference because even to your point of saying like well we want to create the second point for uh a minority group too it's only at 49 percent you know what in another year you're probably going to hit 50 in that district plus if you even take a look at the next closest community which is there it's 29 so either way they're at 49 so the only point is to get it about 50 we'll be there in about a year so having said that uh i don't want to belabor the point but [Laughter] let's vote okay all right well i'll call the question all right um all in favor of chris that's a real call isn't it recently yes it's
014a roll call all right it's a roll call uh so i wanted to confirm we have the resolution we take the resolution and vote with their old cardboard for the map in one vote okay perfect we have to do okay i thought we did it separately before um yes okay we accept uh scenario number one as to fulfill their resolution okay so does that second that maybe two that's what i was wondering i wanted to make sure that we bifurcated so that way we are clear okay so the first one doesn't need to be a roll call vote right with the map itself okay so all in favor of selecting scenario one as the choice of uh trustee areas trustee area map please vote i any opposed opposed motion passes four one and now we
015go to the resolution itself and can i entertain a motion for the resolution please i have it on the floor yeah we're doing it uh we're bifurcating it i know but i thought we already had the resolution on the floor oh we had the resolution on the floor that's right yes we do okay sorry yeah so we'll take the vote on the resolution itself and uh mr o'neill aye ms randall trejo aye ms piercy supposedly let me out okay miss smith aye and i vote aye motion passes five zero thank you all right and i'll entertain a motion for an agenda certainly who moves second have a motion on a second all in favor aye aye congratulations thank you very much for your time uh meeting ajin okay
