001we're gonna go ahead and get started we know we're gonna have some stragglers coming in but in light of the fact that there may or may not be people watching uh we want to respect everyone's time um so as usual we're going to start out with the Icebreaker um how's it been doing how are we feeling okay um okay it's your Icebreaker for today is what is the worst fashion trend that you ever embraced keyword embraced yeah but you did it yourself you did it and in retrospect you're like oh no why did I do that I'll just say no I put lemon in my hair and thought it was cool yeah you did yeah lemon squeeze it and then I sat in the Sun and that was my natural dye like bleaching my hair
002and it came out orange [Music] and I just owned it you left it as orange you're like you know what world uh-huh here I am yeah I like it how's that influence your hairstyles after now that you say it I can't get any worse than that I love them well yeah when I was in seventh grade I wanted to draw my eyebrows on and they didn't let me or pluck them so I seen it what I'm gonna show you I shaved them off oh yeah photos of this I have no photos right now no no no none at all and then they had to let me draw them in until my eyebrows grew back on I wanted the thin eyebrows because back then it was it was popular yeah that was popular I remember hilarious
003just because I see like my school pictures and I'm like my mom tried to stop me but nobody else did because everyone was doing it so what we did is like you would have like put some mousse or something on your face and then like um you would get the straightener and like straighten it you just oh yes like scrunch your hair so you would have like straight bangs that were sizzled with loose and they're like probably like thing and then I saw my pictures and you know you have the things all along I'm like why why this is this is embarrassing so let's learn and I remember that look the two thousands right yeah not as popular do you remember okay does anyone remember in the 2000s where for people's weddings they would like
004twist their hair and put at least butterfly Clips yes oh my gosh how did you do that I didn't twist it but I would put butterfly cuts on my bun yeah that wasn't the worst I loved it I love the butterfly clips they're good you can still have the butterfly gloves there's no there's no shame in that I love it so I thought it was cool to have a mustache right you realize after looking back at pictures I don't have the pace for a mustache so yeah good thing yeah now I see it you know there's a little bit about it so how so follow-up question how would you describe a mustache face like a good base or message and how would you describe a face is like not so good for a message you
005have to see it to know okay there's certain people that I can grow it out and it looks good but there's some people like me that do not it doesn't work yeah okay that's fair I have a close one and a hair one so biker shorts my curse George oh what does this look like I don't even know yes this was uh before a lot of you guys decide back in the 80s and uh it was a trend it was a great trip that was not a good choice and then for hair still back in the 80s so I don't know if anybody remembers was called a step and so your hair was like long and then literally this they would like chop it off and then shake this like this yeah what about you
006a trend what high school worse no it doesn't be high school that you ever that you ever did yeah [Music] that sounds cool I thought it was kind of too good they start too much mature no regrets yeah like it um the first thing that comes to mind for me is in middle school before like skinny jeans were a thing um my we would put rubber bands on our jeans and then we'll just pull them up and then pull them down so they were like not so bulky but I mean it wasn't cute like it was it was just different but it wasn't then CD jeans came they saved us all but um but that was just uncomfortable it wasn't like the word like it wasn't it just wasn't cute and it wasn't comfortable because
007the rubber bands were like tight and then the jeans were like pushing against your skin all day it was uncomfortable well that reminds me of um in high school in the 90s um it was it was a trend one of the trends to wear boots like Harley Davidson boots are really like that and to make your dreams but over the boot you put the Jean inside so it would have a front flap over the front part and then the back flap in the back okay okay so that they wouldn't the jeans wouldn't scrunched so did you have jeans that exist at the time no we did well bell bottoms no they didn't I no I was wearing bell bottoms from the 70s that I got to the thrift store but that was that that was
008just something I did yeah before the bell bottoms actually came out that was a cool Trend though I like that one I like it um okay so this as as it is for all of us this is embarrassing um in college I call recess oh come on like last week you plan on me um in college I thought I was like like a little bit pump Rock and so I would wear like a tractor hat and like a Sweat Band and I would like I really really want to skateboard I never got to skateboard but I thought it was really cool in retrospect it was not cool at all that's what okay she's reminiscing the feeling yeah I tried to make firms work a couple of times yeah okay yeah you know the last time
009was when I got home it was when my daughter was born and uh I always made also October always the worst love to be ever we make a bad haircut because you know there's just like what we're having right now there's those cool days where it feels like Falls they don't get hot again I'm like I'm never gonna be cool again and I cut off all my hair and I got a really bad perm my dad was babysitting the kids and I got home and he's like it'll grow that was the last time I tried to make that point oh that's cool I would say corduroy pants okay so I guess it's a good disclaimer I had to look at everything answers just to see like if I would have met anyone those of course
010not but um I am offending my friends and my peers so just to let you know um but I really do strongly hate Rich beans um I just never understood like I used to wear them all the time right back in middle school because I thought it was cool obviously and like everybody wore them right so Conformity there's that and for me I just I don't know there were always a nuisance to me and like you know I would wear them in like the fall and it was super cold you know and then my mom would always ask me and I'm like no it's just how they are it's Charlie Lush I've come to get on my kids stuff like you know skinny jeans as they are that's why I'm looking around just to make
011sure it wasn't offending anyone but yeah just skinny jeans so would you rip them yourself yeah you win otherwise yeah okay I like it I went to a salon at the mall with my first mistake with a bunch of friends [Music] and a new stylist who just started they tell me later that oh you would look great because I have the curly hair you would look great with a Madonna haircut and I was like on a haircut remember like Desperately Seeking Susan but she had like the shaggy hair with a big headband so that was like what I envisioned yeah so after that when I went to school the following week my new nickname became Monchichi if you remember what that was yes it's a little monkey doll yeah with with curly curly brown hair
012it's really short yeah I was miserable for like three months until it grew up oh see my dad could have comforted you right now all right loose you want to jump in here no pressure we're talking about worst fashion trend you've ever embraced I don't know um I'd have to say the saggy pants like for a reason you know it was cool at the time at the time still is I think for some people yeah I don't think it's that guy down at all did you wear with belt or without belt um I think it was a trend to kind of like show your shorts you know and then just kind of like your top so it was kind of cute but now I'm like fine I wish it would awesome well thank you friends
013um so uh today so I we don't have to go back over um the committee values just refresh ourselves on that I left that on your hand out just how we want to be together um so there is one thing that we want to say explicitly um what we are doing tonight so tonight we are going to finish up our discussion on mascot ideas can you hear us hi yes I can hear you can hear me hey you want to join our Icebreaker Yes except I don't know what it is I joined late oh Icebreaker is what is the worst fashion trend you've ever embraced I like to think I've always been fashionable but I will say that in the fourth grade I was really devastated when Michael Jackson died and I wore a shirt
014with him on it for quite some time so now I probably wouldn't do that how long is quite some time like I was probably in my ward like my weekly close once a week for the year yeah it was oh that's awesome too often too often we all have our favorite set right but I applaud you for looking at the woman in the mirror [Laughter] oh yeah my Munchkins um okay so back into this um so what we're doing tonight we are discussing we're finishing our discussion on mascot ideas and if we have time we'll we'll kind of we'll be able to vote on our finalists um what we are not doing we are not discussing Aesthetics of what the image is going to look like right we're only talking about the concept or the
015idea of the image we will get a chance to talk about and give our input about the Aesthetics at a later Point once we've decided on an image yeah um and we're also not talking about how the mascot will be embodied right at games or anything like that um so for some mascot obviously this is a very natural connection we choose the Jaguars it will likely be a Jaguar that will show up at a game right there are some mascots that um make that a little or mascot ideas that make that a little more difficult I give you guys some examples from the Colorado Rockies have a dinosaur uh Colorado Avalanche that hasn't seen Bernard Denver Nuggets it has a mountain lion right and so if we choose an image or an idea right a
016no mascot kind of image um then uh well that will be a discussion it sounds like that the school board will have or the school will have is that correct correct okay so for us in terms of our purview what we are responsible for we're responsible for choosing a mascot idea or no mascot right and that type of thing and giving any type of aesthetic kind of um ideas that will then be delivered to the design firm right does that make sense any questions about that well I have confused at the end it's just that we weren't discussing the Aesthetics but then you said activities okay yeah so right now today we're only talking about mascot ideas Concepts and then after we decide that we can brainstorm like any recommendations or ideas that we want
017to pass on to the design firm thanks for the question on the one thing that was chosen yes yes just on that one thing so just for the sake of reserving our energy impacting Focus just on the idea first and then we'll move on okay hold on all right um maybe a recap of what has made it to them as well yes okay so uh last time we met which was a week ago uh we as a group decided that the Jaguars would move forward as a consideration not as a vote it's not the Jaguars we also voted um that the concept of an a um and we talked about the hands uh we talked about those kinds of things that that concept would move forward so that concept we're going to call the no
018logos I'm sorry the no mascots so in that concept there is not a mascot right it would be it was a high school ass test but we're going to be worried about or we are really recommending or making a decision that the a should have some symbolism around Unity or you know those kinds of things um those are the ones that made it forward tonight uh we have greetings three marks tonight we have three more we're gonna do the same exact thing and it might end up that we end up with five things to consider it might end up that we end up with four three or two so we're just going to do the same thing that we did last time uh the person will present their idea we'll ask questions we'll talk about
019it and then we'll vote if they move forward and move forward if not then not okay uh should we start with so let's first and we're just remind ourselves about the criteria that we agreed on right okay uh culturally appropriate I know that somebody wanted um criteria for what is and is not culturally appropriate um I I started to think about that because I take your request seriously I feel like it's going to be a little bit difficult for us to set like clear criteria for it but I think what we did last time was in discussion it seemed like that became a clearer so as long as everyone is okay with that I'd be like culturally appropriate helps to bring about Unity uh offers a sense of belonging and representation and an image or
020you know concept the students will be proud of those are the four that we're working with here right um yeah perfect um also full disclosure uh we got some further ideas that fall in the bucket of no mascot and so those automatically have just made it through and then that ends up being then again we can talk about the imagery and what we really want represented in the a if you will yeah um so with that being said um maybe we go in order of how they were submitted um so we will turn to um my right here uh with the first idea there was no imagery uh involved so we're not going to protrude anything but uh do you want to talk about your idea um I just thought like I was thinking I
021was like breaking my brain practically thinking like what can we use right um and I just thought since we're trying to unite both schools why couldn't we just add the Gladiator why couldn't it be Azusa Aztec Gladiators and then you know kind of add whatever the red and blue just to so they feel like they still didn't lose themselves but sort of Azusa gained it that makes any sense um I know it's something that a lot of kids the maybe the Gladiators might like the idea because then they're like hey we're not losing it you know it's still staying there but we're combining with Aztec I don't know I just it kind of sounded good it went together and I thought okay that's not bad you know what would that look like so and then
022just her full disclosure right that would not change the colors of the school now again when we're talking about a logo or an emblem or whatever we can we can say like a shade or whatever red or put a touch or whatever but the school would not change its colors to red and blue the school would continue the colors as they are right now if if this were something that the committee would so any thoughts uh responses to that I think looking at it from a student perspective Carolina isn't here to Representatives unfortunately but I will try my best to do so um I think it's powerful to know and understand how you're considerate of the you know Gladstone High School students because as Azusa High School at first I wasn't really considering how it
023might feel for them to come into Azusa High School and you mentioned that you know they wanted to like feel like they didn't lose their sense of identity as a school right and maybe maybe we can interpret you know how we could like do like implement the Gladiators with Azusa maybe that's for further discussion but I feel like the intention is there the intention for us to make sure that we are welcoming other students you know from Boston primarily right that they have a sense of belongingness here that it's a sense and a sign of welcoming so I feel like as long as we have that intention I think you know we can come up with promising results so I just wanna thank you thank you Sarah do you have something um yes I guess
024my questions um for Arturo and it's more like logistical is I know all the middle schools are combining and they're going to be located at what was Gladstone High School is that staying Gladstone middle school with the Gladiators as their mascot that is correct they will continue to be will be the Glaston Middle School Gladiators with uh the red okay so essentially as respectfully as I can say although Gladstone is losing their High School it's still going to be that school with the same mascot same paint not torn down just with middle school students okay correct okay what do you what are you thinking Sarah can you say more just because I I just wanted that clarification too because I think although I love the um idea and the Mantra behind this idea I think
025that having two Gladiator mascots in the district is a little excessive but also too um I I didn't go to Gladstone so maybe I don't have all the same feelings as those people um but it's not a complete loss in my mind um it's just kind of a shift if they were maybe tearing down the school um doing something I was selling it then I could see like a little more hurt but essentially it's just a new age group okay but I don't want to be insensitive that's just how I kind of stand no that's helpful thank you other thoughts questions why not why not kind of take it a little like to redesign you know we've got the mountains we've got the A on the mountains why not add something to represent the Gladiators
026in there not necessarily the Gladiator logo but something to represent the Gladiators in there the rock the you know something so we're not it's not just as Aztec Gladiators it's just something to represent okay with the colors or with uh um some something to incorporate okay yeah so I I think that's a that's a fine idea um so that would fall under like a vote for like a no logo or no most mascot and then like our kind of subsequent kind of discussion around what that image might look like but that's a good point on that putting the A on the rock that could be too that's cool that could be two because the rock is a representation of Gladiators without calling it Gladiators and then putting the A on the Rock is a great
027that sounds like a great idea all right because that brings Unity it brings belonging can we concerned with the Gladiators is I I don't know 100 100 history of it but I'm glad you're just as bad as Aztecs I mean so won't we have who's someone later on down the line complaining about the Gladiators yeah that's my only concern there were a warrior of their own right themselves well they were in slick people actually like which lives yeah so I mean in many ways there don't exist now but um they were enslaved people does that fit in our values in the criteria well we didn't say anything about that I mean a sense of belonging representation in unity that doesn't really like but it sounds like maybe your concern is around the violence right right
028Sears and Spartans so right yeah yeah okay yeah thank you questions I have a question I mean this is asset Gladiators make any sense as being as taken I think of them from um right okay so I don't I don't know I was looking it up and it did show pictures of it and I was like there really is an Aztec Gladiator weird but I mean it does show it obviously like I had more in my head I thought like letters you could do that but again since we're not talking too much detail into it why I chose that or why I thought of it I mean that's what I thought because I looked it I'm like is there an acid Gladiator yes I did Google it and I maybe Google's wrong sometimes but you
029know there was an actual picture and I thought okay you know not bad right I mean just to combine them we're still trying to unite them I mean yes there's a middle school but what better way that those that of a middle school saying well we didn't lose being a gladiator we're still gonna be a gladiator but we're in Azusa now so I don't know right like in my head it makes sense but you know I mean other than that it's just the concept of it I just made sense because I was trying my kids too I just hearing them out too because they're like why do we have to nothing we've always been Azusa like my kids that graduated I'm like you guys don't understand that it's not there's like more to it you
030guys are just not educated enough I wasn't either so I I since I'm not fighting it I'm just like okay I understood you know I'm not I'm gonna be honest I don't understand it fully yet but it's not that the interest isn't there this is just the beginning of understanding it so now it's just a matter of letting them know like hey this this is what it is you know it comes with education and then also just kind of letting them out like you're not losing the Azusa Aztec you're just losing a mask up that's it but that's what I thought I just figured that and obviously there's other reasons you guys said we can't talk about it what did you want to talk about no I because you guys said the only reason because
031I'm more like I think about an idea and then I if I add more to it you know so I'm like okay so if they had a gladiator what would that look like sure gladiatrix right so why couldn't they're gonna lose the warrior and they're where you're at why couldn't they gain that as well it would just make sense you know to just have something that the seniors sort of had like a tradition and then not lose it yeah which has once you lose the warrior and where you're at you're gaining a mascot but then what do you do seniors have nothing else and just for full clarity there hasn't been a discussion about we're losing the warrior and the warrior Warrior at those are things that we have to consider after this not here
032but there will be imagery or the word Customs positions songs all those things that I think this has opened up that we have to have discussions about and education about but um but right now we have not nobody has we have not decided that the warrior Warrior are gone interesting because you know trying to keep an open mind so being open to everything Nathan did you have something earlier uh I think you know from an indigenous perspective it's it's conflicting to to not be able to discuss those details yet because we don't know what we're getting into and some of the main concerns the indigenous people have expressed have been not so much the mascot directory but also the word where we're at the use of the drum and that copied the address so those
033are like some of the major concerns regards to cultural appropriation that we have so not discussing these items and kind of classing over them putting something like the sport or through is you know provides a lot of you know potential avenues for us to not you know address that and that's that's a concern and I think that's very a very clear concern I wanted to express yeah I would second that because I think that's a continuation of the mascot and that falls into the original um foreign items and thoughts that were brought in the late nights that was one of the major things so we have to we want to work with everyone to come up with a uh this is a good you know thing in light of this whole situation is which is
034challenging but at the same time we we can't as represented as a native indigenous Community sit back and allow a rehearsal back to what was original because we've got to answer to people too yeah that's fair I mean so you correct me if I'm wrong but I imagine that when the mascot changes that so too will the representation at games is that correct yeah again I mean while it hasn't been an official decision made correct that those are obviously wedded we have to look at those things absolutely 100 good job go hand in hand though yeah right yeah and I think too that and since I've been attending the meetings my focus has been more representing that tried than giving native indigenous perspective but as someone who grew up in Azusa I think the unity
035has to be Paramount because I feel that Gladstone has been really kind of pushed aside that's my personal thoughts and I think Unity should be something that you know I like what you're saying I think that opens the context you know the discussion of what we're really talking about and how you bring this together because I think it to this point it's been really one-sided it's been all this is and just just to go with the sense of unity you know how do we address the sense of safety to our community so for the students that maybe don't feel safe at school with this this rivalry now you're combining high schools right you still got the same Mascots from old schools how is that again contributing to that sense of you know we're increasing that
036safety around this you know we're together we're the same you know I'm sure sure the Aztec is still represented in the Gladiator is still there but it's not you know we're not fully combining we're still those two different groups you know and we know what our safety our concerns are in the city we know what they are in our schools so how do we further bridge that Gap you know I've heard that from a number of students so you know I think that really needs to be be considered it's helpful thank you I was actually just gonna comment or DOTA you were saying that they're talking even very popularly with the changing happening from one Sun One Mascot to another or no mascot or something that the songs are going to have to be worked
037on does that mean the alma mater is going to change just throwing out as ideas we know that this is not just about the mascot it's imagery it's Customs it's things that we might be doing or have been accustomed to do um that we just need to re-look at and and make sure that they align to the philosophy that we applied uh to the mascot and so if the mascot is changing because x y z then we need to look at everything to make sure that it also fits with x y z and so as an example things like the warrior Warrior things like songs or imagery that's used right now are Customs again just to make sure that all it's all in alignment right and then I'll and then I'll make a fan plays
038at the games sure yeah because all that kind of Falls in place as well right so the decisions that we'll make here right we'll have ripples will influence all that might not be decisions that we make because you know we have a particular kind of uh responsibility that we were given by the board right but um but it will affect all those things yeah yeah and then to follow up with that um I think I'd mentioned last week how there were like you know students and folks with the headbands and you know we're gonna need a lot of education on this because the name acid was cats a lot of people may not understand what it implies so I think that's the biggest challenge here it's not just that we're going to change the warrior
039everything is the name State and some people might not understand the the the interpretation of what it should be now you know so I think that's going to be a lot of Education right there because it is very conflicting I mean people might still do the Feather soap and all that you know yeah no that's I think that's a great point it's it's a bit confusing right so yeah education it's going to be key um all right any other thoughts about the Gladiators before we all right so should we go ahead and just do so just for as a reminder the only thing we're voting on is whether or not it meets our criteria not whether you like it or not yeah um all right so everyone in favor of the Gladiators at just moving
040it forward with anyone who is not raise your hand want to speak to that I'm sorry I don't think it brings you anything I think it still keeps them separated I think that glad some people students will still say I'm I'm Gladiator and the aspects will spell famine and pass it and in speaking to students this week um both from both schools their main concern wasn't their math fact their main concern was their safety and the fighting that they're worried about they're already talking about first day of school next year what's going to happen amongst themselves so they're more worried about their safety and safety of their friends and they just want to feel United so I feel that's kind of keeping that still segregated yeah I want to agree with Kimberly on that that's
041I think for me too that's like really first and foremost like how do you keep these kids safe how do you not create those different divisions and and you know I don't want to get into like say you know other things but just you know what I mean I don't want that division to still continue and I'm saying I but it's really the community we want that we want that you you know so I really feel you know that I have to say like when I went to summer school as a high school or two into high school I didn't feel welcome like it felt very unsafe so in many ways um I understand how like classroom kids are going to step into a school that's like not theirs because I felt that you know
042I knew what it was like especially if it's like an official school that I'm gonna go to yeah that's it's intimidating it is very intimidating yeah we don't want that for them if that's going to get it home school yeah and if you think about it that was already a decision that was made regardless they didn't take that into consideration so it's done it's done and in reality I mean kids have to realize it's gonna close it's not a don't worry if you don't get along you could go back no there's no choice anymore and you know there's always gang fights and other stuff so it's not just about okay Gladstone is coming to us I think you know maybe at the end people need to understand or maybe just the school needs to understand
043or tell them right like hey you guys remember next year those that are 11th graders you're coming in and this is who you're gonna be you know azusa's still there Aztec is still going to be there so regardless they're gonna feel like not themselves but it's not a matter of you know the students students are always going to be students somewhere I'm sure but in reality it's how the adults the teachers welcome the students a thousand percent so anyone else who was not a yay on that I want to speak to what you think I'm not um it just doesn't make sense to me it's um it feels like we've already it's already not we but it's already been decided that it's Azusa Aztecs and so Addie Gladiator is like starting over or changing it
044um it doesn't seem like it just looks like we're gonna have two mascots and as they have any Gladiator and it just to me it just it's more work it just doesn't make sense to me and then when you mention the division of the two I I highly highly agree with that yeah yeah I think with when I agree with what you're saying about safety I think that you know all due respect to the board the consideration to retain the name did not take consideration of generations of certain views and and and you know attitudes in this community yeah you know um I mean it hasn't been here since the 1880s I really understand it when we all talk we don't be so direct about it but we're all talking we all know behind you
045know closed doors how we would talk without but it's complicated and so this decision has made it even more complicated and these things aren't going to go away the generation I concur on that as well because and I don't think it's unfortunate but media and also being on YouTube and everything like we're talking about it right now and we understand but it also has uh put a kind of a bad taste and not by intentional it was just something that was brought up and discussed and I think it's kind of um um it's grew from there it's like it's just something it turned into something because it seems to be even more heightened lately than what it has been in the past and so now that it's brought a little more forward with I'll say
046it with adults and with students conversation whatever heated conversation that's gone on it's where we're at and now we're trying to be proactive at the same time so I agree as well but I did see someone send me a drawing of a gladiator in the Aztec and I was like whoa that was so cool so I totally get where you're coming from but at the same time I I kind of at the you know okay [Music] um so should we move on yep yeah what's happening was there a reason well yeah well just like just like do you want to do a rebound now sure okay let's do a revote on Aztec Gladiators I have a question in person yes so by um if the vote should swing to a no then what happens to
047the discussion of the unity bring it together I mean from my from my perspective with what you suggested I said go forward because we could say we can continue right Mr Ortega we continue to discuss that later that if it moves forward we can discuss it's more specifics right my concern is that if we say no then we're losing an opportunity again for that Unity unless we're going to go to a different route for that just for clarity we have two things that have moved forward already the jaguar and then we have the eight and in the a there were already ideas on how to do the unity whatever there was the hands we talked about the mountains the eggs different things like that uh but if we move this forward then what we are
048saying is the mascot of Azusa this is the high school is the Gladiators and so so if it moves forward then we are saying it has meta criteria and that'll be a legitimate option uh to do because I think that no matter let's pretend we let's use the ones that are already through if it's the Jaguars this is an example that this is the body says that's what we should be then our next conversation okay now that we know it's the Jaguars let's talk about what what would you like to see and then you might say you know for Unity purposes what if the Jaguars eyes were red I'm just making it up right uh or what if the Jaguar had a patch and the patch was a g or whatever I mean those kinds
049of days but we're talking specifically at that point then we'd be talking about the jaguar and then we will deliver that conversation to the design company to try to capture that conversation in a natural design and so the first one was no the first photo was it's done there you said you want to do a reboot yeah I mean I think a conversation I think we should have a good just a quick rebound those that want to hold us forward okay um Sarah are you with us yes can you I don't want to botch it uh so can you introduce uh your idea uh and and Lika can you put up the how do you pronounce it is it Zolo one more time okay thank you uh can you put that up um Nika right
050there okay go for it okay um so this past week I went to um speak with some students and some teachers just to get their perspective because obviously they're the ones that are going to be at the school um so they talked to me about how they really like the idea of keeping an animal as a mascot they think that's like a really good middle ground um they also um like the animal connected to mesoamerica and um just have a little more depth and history and connection um so I have always wanted a sholo dog and I thought of that um it is a mascot for a soccer team in Mexico as well um it is an ancient dog but also you can find one on the street um they are used in different media
051today like in the movie cocoa with the dog Dante um yeah I just thought it's dog and it has a connection uh it has some significance and um I know that we're not talking about Aesthetics or logos or anything but I wanted to show that there could be um some hints of Gladstone if we did choose this mascot um I think we can toss some red in there put some on the air put some on um the back of the logo I also tossed in the mountains um yeah I think that we can combine the two but still having it a mascot that connects if that makes sense um so yeah that's my suggestion the show logo answer questions yeah and my immediate concern is that it's going to be mispronounced if it's going to
052associate the city would a different sort of word and I don't think that's a good I think that has a lot of I think the image is cool and I think there's parts of it that that bring that sense of unity um I like the red but again I think the word it it's going to be misinterpreted it's going to be pronounced wrong and it's going to be I don't know I just feel like it can go down a different route with that anyone else a question or a comment is there another name for this album situation in English I think it's a hairless dog right a Mexican hairless dog I do agree that that'll be mispronounced and taken out of content context or maybe even a wages occurring now I think you would be
053adding fuel to the point right say one more time adding the current situations in the community without getting into details I would say you would be adding fuel to the fire but it's a cool image great job Sarah yeah yeah that's really nice this is actually my favorite of all I love Sarah what you did with the round the red green around with the mountains and the a behind the dog the dog looks strong and Fierce and dogs are loyal I mean I I you did a great job I I love this it's just the name because the dogs I don't know come up with something that would change the name completely even though that's not the proper name but to give it some sort of name I I think like from Lolita Spence last
054week too I mean we discussed the Jaguar but I feel like we discussed how it was like all of our news all over the America and I guess the situation here would also be connecting just to the African Latin America and that's also again it gets into mushy Waters right so I think that's another concern to bring out I just um we were talking about how certain animals uh that we would choose wouldn't be associated with the aspects because of the situation from the Galileo so um that would again like you know the Jaguar is like all over the America but this one's a little more like into that territory adjustment of America okay that makes sense oh yeah I was just gonna say if we decide to like botsu we don't we're not really
055for the dog mainly because of the name could we maybe keep the um other parts like you know the background you know the logo and the red because in my opinion I love the image right I love it but maybe we could just modify the dog maybe let's say if we continue with dog or I replace it with a cowboy just to give everyone a preview uh we're not we we can we can look at it in a second but uh Sarah also said if we're gonna go over the Jaguar she actually has some some mock-ups of what uh what the Jaguar might look like uh but right now we're talking about the and I don't want to mispronounce but I think you said that you actually pronounce it yeah um any other any other
056questions around us the question if because everyone it seems like everyone has a very positive you know reaction to this to these images and I wonder if we could keep the image but just be like it would just say it was a high home of the Aztecs and just be that image like do we have to name the animal that's on the image we have to I think maybe people would ask so are you guys the dogs you know because this type of dog it's it's it would be like if we had a Chihuahua on there you know we wouldn't put home of the chihuahuas right it would be a type of dog like this is a breed of a dog [Laughter] thank you but I mean we don't you know it's a type of
057dog who specifies the crime you get a you know German Shepherd you know a poodle do we have to be specific of my questions let's talk about it oh yeah I mean I was gonna say but I mean but right now but that's like an art Aesthetics kind of discussion and right now Sarah's idea is the shovel right which is what we have um and even though we're not going to discuss a Jaguar just because everybody loved what she did and we will show you what she did with the initials with the uh not right now not right now um the Azusa Aztec dogs or something more generic I mean like maybe dogs is not good like you can't do that no no I don't I mean what could you be the hounds I mean
058Shepherds maybe no I think I um if like I don't I like I understand everyone's scared it's gonna be just High cholos I get that um but I and I do like um the idea of maybe doing homothetics instead but I wouldn't want to do the hounds or the dogs or anything like that because um at the end of the day it's a word and I think we shouldn't be afraid to sleep you know it's a dog's name um but I wouldn't want to do hounds I feel like that's just like just too far of a reach for me got it all right then let's uh go ahead and vote on the shoulders raise your hand if you'd like to move forward the shoulders but there's room to change on the name yeah yeah okay
059all right we'll remove it could it be kind of like the Aguilas like it's a two-part vote like the ego and then the name you know what I mean like the image and then also using what's the name what's the alternative just aspects and then that image like no you use the image without using the name yeah that's well I mean I guess the question is are we moving into a no mascot territory with that right because it's not because there is an animal something there's an animal yeah in this case I think she's presenting an idea so we have to go with her idea and say do we like her idea of moving forward the show list right because at the end of the day our responsibility ability is not to come up with
060the image it's just to choose a mascot or no mascot so we were just looking at it we didn't have her cool images right yeah exactly exactly that's what we're voting on right it's just the idea so okay in light of that move forward the shoulders all right okay um we're gonna jump all the way to the last one uh that came in at the end um leak up but go ahead and pause on the Jaguar just so they can uh take a quick look again we're not talking about this when I move because that's already moved forward so we can talk about but you can you can see what what Sarah came up with so that's one and then that's another one that's really cute yeah oh I like that one maybe even the
061letters are gonna be outlined in red yeah maybe like outline or red you know what I mean so again right now this is we're not up for discussion because we know that that's gonna move forward but go all the way to the calendar all the way to the bottom no keep going keep going the last image that came in this one oh there you go right there okay so this is the last uh consideration uh tonight uh the person that submitted it is not here so I will read what they wrote and unfortunately we will not be able to ask questions but obviously we could have a conversation about it um this is called the Azusa Compass Rose stone it's a blend of several influences that together give acknowledgment and respect to history culture it
062helps us to remember the past and give us direction for the future this is influenced by authentic Aztec Stones ancient map compass rose indigenous Place making ausd Citrus Union High School and Junior College along with Gladstone High School and Azusa High School the cardinal points of the stone contain articles that represent the indigenous geography of our community the basket the acorn The Conch and the dolphin all Point All Points direct toward the center which is the A on our Mountain Side the upper left is a citrus Union High School cougar the upper right is a Citrus College owl between them is the torch of Azusa Unified School District the lower right is an Aztec Gladiator the lower left is a portion of the previous mascot compasses represent movement motivation and inspiration it takes you from
063where you are to a place you want to go it gives a sense of hope and inspires you to follow your heart and your rightful path compasses always Point North a direction which symbolizes progress betterment and inspiration so obviously we can't have questions I mean we can have questions amongst ourselves I guess but uh open up for discussion around uh this potential idea is this supposed to be a logo I'm going to assume yes that this would not be quote unquote a mascot but more a logo that would be my assumption I feel like I would want to hear from you guys what you guys think because I'm looking at it and I'm like okay everything we said we weren't gonna do it's all there again so even to represent that it's like how do
064you represent that without respecting you guys you know so I don't yeah just I I think we've seen better options tonight um more unity and bring that divide together so that's what I gotta say just looking at this um you know like not so much in detail I tell I think Compass you would think or I I speaking about myself I think after the calendar um so and I think we've said that's a slippery slope so that's exactly what I thought okay the moment I looked at it before you even started talking about the images and things um in detail I just thought Aztec calendar any thoughts it's very well done creative um very thoughtful images and symbols on their very meaningful but yeah I feel like we've gone over this poverty yeah yeah you
065know I will say that I think there's good intentions with trying to bring the different cultures together but um in the end it's just not compatible and I think it goes straight away and won't be already established tonight what we're looking for and you know I think there was better options we looked at today so far I look at it from a um I'm gonna say it uh representation when it comes to uh uniforms band so on uh letterhead all those things that may not come out exactly what clearly this is not the appropriate the details of you yeah like yeah or even Marquis even if it isn't on a uniform but like your Marquee or whatever a lot would be lost in it and there's a lot of detail like you know there's a
066lot of detailed representation there so yeah and I think like given the headdress of the asset isn't correct so just pointing that out any thoughts before we go all right let's go ahead and vote anyone in support of pushing this uh idea forward all right then that means we have we have yep so we're gonna move uh to the next phase of our meeting today um before you go on there was another image that Mika had scrolled down to is that not a consideration oh so yes that one falls under the no uh mascot just a little bit so that's something that's automatically already considered yeah that one already moved forward got it yeah thank you yeah um if it's okay Jessica maybe we can take a five minute a minute break uh and then
067we'll come back to our next step which is going to be our decision our decision making set yeah okay yes but we remember very much [Music] I even like the way that it was already at least I know yeah [Music] you know [Music] um experience anyway um their language come to a point of decision making just as a reminder before you all vote that uh any of the math so if if you choose Jaguars we can talk about including things like mountains and all that stuff right whatever you want to include uh in our next session but yeah okay that's who we will oh yes we will we will okay design aesthetic all that will be part of the discussion that we will then pass along right um so keep that in mind um all
068right so same goes for if you if we were to choose no mascot and so now we're back to the A and those kind of things then we will have a conversation around what's actually look like what should be the components and that kind of stuff all of them thank you yeah um so you see no there should be notepads in front of you if you can pull one of those notepads and just write your choice either no mascot or Jaguars on that sheet of paper oh yeah so the two choices you're gonna write there either Jaguars and Poulter paper or you're going to write no mascot and fold your paper once you have written your idea you're going to drop it in this cardboard box that's sitting right here so I'm expecting one two
069three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve pieces of paper and Sarah since you are not here in person if you can email me uh your uh decision I would appreciate that thank you foreign can you please email me um your choice you're either going to choose Jaguar and so the Jaguar will be the mascot of Azusa High School or you're going to choose no mascot if you choose no mascot that means that we are going with a logo um and that's what you're choosing either one whichever one turns out to be the front runner tonight we are going to have conversations if she wants to yeah either way Sarah it's fine okay um I emailed you but I could also just need if you want me to yeah we might have to
070text understand I apologize my phone is acting up and so you are going to have to text if you are my uh texting I don't I couldn't say it out loud too if that's easiest I don't mind or do we want like Sarah you can drop it in the chat as well okay you just say it out loud I'm just a Jaguar I'm gonna write it down let me let me put it up here okay okay sure she's on the phone Talk Amongst yourselves thank you I'm not a deaf mute but I want to be on you it's the most awkward thing like when you don't know you're not on I mean you're yeah you're not on you and then you're saying something you're telling your dog to be quiet like um you're like oh
071my God we're good yeah it's no matter what you choose um there will be a follow-up conversation about how that thing whether it's a jaguar or the no Jaguar what it would look like and what to be considered yeah all right Jaguar no Max stops no Matchbox this one says yes mascot does that mean Jaguar who wrote yes mascot okay a minute who wrote yes mascot that would have to be I mean all right new mascot [Music] no mascot again no mascots thank you Jaguar s yeah it really does wow Jaguar oh there we go Jaguar oh wow so it looks like this will be the zuza Aztecs home of the Jaguars that's what it looks like okay um before we move on to the next step I I cannot tell you how appreciative I
072am of your time of your dedication of your commitment and your voice um is like gratefully gratefully appreciated uh in a in a big big way um we have a set uh the path moving forward for Azusa uh High School um and obviously we have a lot to do still but we can move forward now um to do to do um the next steps um I would like it very much don't feel obligated um but I would like to put this on the November 1st board agenda to announce to the board that I mean the world's probably going crazy already right now and everybody will know but I want to officially announce um to the Board of Education that the committee has rendered a decision and that Azusa High School Aztecs will be home of
073the Jaguars um and I would love it more if I can get one two three thirteen people uh to go and and and announce this to the Board of Education that would be awesome it would be a privilege for me to have again either a spokesperson or spokespersons or everyone is invited but that would be awesome uh to to have that so um I I would I would uh I would really love to do that she wanted to stand in unity to speak about the home of the Jaguars is that what you're asking for um yes that would be amazing um I think that uh unless you guys want to we have two options we can start discussing right now and saying okay what's important to us in terms of what is represented in the
074design uh of the jaguar please keep in mind that it's a high school so the high school actually will get a what's called a set um so they're actually going to have a set a package if you will uh that they will use and some of the logos will be for letterhead some of them will use for the table skirts on on the uh on the tables some will be for the Marquis some will be for the football field right and so they'll get a set and so what we want to do is speak into uh speak into that so we can start that now and maybe end or we can just set a date where we're going to come back and just have that conversation it's completely up to you all right yes ma'am
075I like that logo that Sarah configured with the Jaguar um the circle with the colors and you know just that that whole design of that Circle because it's pretty basic it's not something extravagant but it's basic and it has the Jaguar on it it has you know everything we need I have a question because all this I think it's great we voted and everything but I know okay I will tell you I submitted a no mascot I submitted a logo as a group would we wanted to have seen any of these to see what a logo would look like without a mascot or are we good like this because I have to question it because I think it's like I don't want to just leave it because there are people that are kind of out
076there going you know that's why I I'll say I submitted because people were saying think of something think of this I had literally papers given to me of all these different kind of logos and I was like okay let me and I was let me put them together to see what I can create but would I I think I I didn't hear that that show this is if you had no mascot this is an idea that you can present I don't know I don't know whatever you guys feel it doesn't matter to me honestly because what if that's a question that somebody else has what if that creates a conversation like why wouldn't you just pick other options not just a mascot I mean nobody knew it was going to be between no mascot or
077a mascot we're the only people that knew that so in reality it was just a vote between no mascot or a mascot and now we have a mascot but we don't know what the alternative was I mean secretly we know there's a couple of them like the mountains and the hands but so are you thinking this would be helpful in terms of how we think about designing like what components we want as a part of the logo well that was the whole thing because like like I said the one that I presented was something that was collaborating with a lot of people that I put in and I went back to them and I said what do you guys think what do you guys think and they were like yeah or change it like this
078or add a little more or put this and they was like okay okay okay but I just kind of noticed that when you say no mascot it means no presentation oh I see what you're saying yeah it wasn't even given as an option exactly is that something that the group would like to or not like I said it's okay with me if you say no I'm I'm okay with it but I just wanted to see how the the quality in that you know what you're right the only reason why I say it because I kind of thought that we were going to vote even on the logo of the mountain but when we didn't I'm like okay so that one's out right the one with the unity by hand so I thought that that would
079be an option that's when you said no mascots and jaguar I'm like okay if we hit no mascot then we just have to come up with ideas right but we have a jaguar and there's that's it Jaguar there was no like do you want this or do you want that so what else would you like so yeah I don't want to lose a stock to say a good points but so if it had gone to no mascot then what we have then began the choice all over to have more choices brought in of no mascot just for well no I mean who would have decided what it was going to look like if there's no mascot because you have to have something huh no one's a bit submitted already right if there was no mascot
080then we know that there's not going to be a mascot it's just going to be a logo it's going to be the a but see that's the thing is that I created something and I'm not again not for me yeah yeah and it's not yeah I have a big a on it so you guys probably saw it scroll through but it hasn't even been part of like the discussion like the hands were like it was never presented it was ever presented to have does that make sense yeah and so let me explain our logic is that because the hands is a no mascot kind of option right and that was already approved in terms of just our like our our criteria it was already in so your design was already in right it was already
081like being voted on I know but it doesn't look like I hear you I totally hear what you're saying yeah that's what I was presented because the vote was for yeah if the no mask I had one then they would have presented it but they didn't have a lot of conversation about what yeah because like we got more options of a mascot and if they would have went forward how would we have gone if we got say all all of them went forward we all said yes and we liked them would we have more names of them yes but then you don't have any I'm sorry I don't know if you guys understand where I'm coming from yeah so so and at this point okay so at this point given the way that things kind
082of you know unfolded what what would you like to do I would just like to present the idea because I kind of talked about it a little bit last time and like I said I uh I just created something and again it's not for me I just want people to know that because the puppies out there thinking she just wants her workout no believe me I am not a I am not an artist of any kind I literally like crayons but um it's just to explain the concept of a no mascot of this image that was created okay yeah let's go ahead and do that does that sound good people yeah like I said if it's normal mascot okay I won't lose sleep I promise can you put that one up please which yes just
083one second yeah and to double down on what Jessica was saying right the idea or the concept here was that if no mascot moved forward then this group had to have a conversation about you know what's really important for us to have the mountains well it's really important for us to have the aid what's really important to us to have a touch of red or you know what the a should really not have this or you know those kinds of conversations we weren't looking at this like the hands is one the mountains is another the like no it's the one that was submitted Today Mika or yesterday this is the one she scrolled past yeah in person the one that was beautifully done I had like six yeah I apologize for the you know the
084artists on this she has no installation that any uh any Gallery just let you know okay so it was just a concept like I said is that um of course the round shape the mountains in the background because a lot of things I thought brought Unity One is it starts with the skyline the skyline would blend in from red to blue into each other which would bring Unity of the two schools and it's something that you could look and be proud of and say that's why that's there the a uh the mountains represent the San Gabriel um um uh the whole San Gabriel mountains which we have a lot of history in and I think it's for everyone here it represents the a represents the community we are all from Azusa that's what that represents
085the whole entire city which rep which we're so proud of our a on that mountain and then the Aztecs we are the Aztecs in the end so that's where I was coming from again I apologize when we're drawing abandoned and in it you'll see the highlight of the blue the black the White and the blue on the side so it maintains of the colors that were required but again it could have just like the shoulders right I said it right okay it can have those colors come in and it could be bold and it could be whatever it is but it was just something that was a no mascot and like I said a lot of people help with this idea it doesn't look like what they did and I just wanted to give that
086fair representation of a logo that's good thank you thank you should we go here we go Sarah's suggestions for the no logo as well I mean uh you want to put that back up um um which one the same one you just had up right now so Sarah also said if we're not gonna go like a mascot way here's some ideas for the logo and so uh uh right there and so this is the whole concept that San Diego State doesn't uh have one and so down there you see some well yeah that one already has Jaguars so that would not kind of fit we'd have to erase that if this is the route we went with but again these were just some ideas and again the the the the idea here is that if
087we went without a mascot so we're not the Jaguars we're nothing we're just the Aztecs which is fine and great then we would have a conversation and then a designer would have to try to incorporate that conversation try to right because we also can't put like you know 17 different ideas into one piece of art uh but try to capture you know what what what that might look like and um that might even be you know anyways but that that that's that's the idea or that was the idea so it sounds like do we want to have a presentation it's up to you like I said and I thank you for allowing that moment and being able to yeah yeah of course can I ask the question yeah absolutely um I want to give a
088voice to Natalie Natalie how do you fill the importances of the actual physical mascot on campus it's very important so I was actually asking this question to our viewers today during class ask them in how do you feel about us being Jaguars and like you know first just to be very honest they didn't seem that satisfied with it and not because they hate the idea of a Jaguar you know but they just didn't see the association right away and we know this because of the committee we talked about this we talked about the Jaguar being associated with the Aztecs the Mayans the Incas the elements right but for them they didn't see that right away so after I told them about the reason behind the jaguar and why we pushed for it they were like
089okay even though we did you know even though there is an association of the Jaguars how can we ensure that's gonna like other people outside of the district are going to see that like how about when we go to games or how about going to go to like you know the football games volleyball sports or any school event how are people outside of our school are just gonna see the Jaguars associated with the Aztecs so what they were really trying to say to students that I spoke to is they want to try and find something something they represent that's why personally I didn't go for no mascot because I know that my peers despite what I think what my opinions are they want something that would kind of present them and that's the hard part
090right that's the hard part when it comes to trying to choose something that's representative to everybody but to them something that can distinctly Define them when they're going in games to try and exemplify that Spirit exemplify them you know being proud of who they are being proud and being a part of a school community and that just doesn't go along with just the logo we already know this this goes along with the sense of belongingness or feeling safe we're getting to know each other with being welcoming it's all part of a you know a lot of things you know it changed into a lot of factors a logo is ultimately just one of many opportunities we can try and unite that but ultimately my peers said that they want something that represent them that's why
091I personally went for the Jaguar even though maybe they didn't seem like you know it put them Best But at the very least they had something that could represent them and we could learn to become more familiar with thank you that's the question other thoughts questions before we was there anyway um and I know it's already too late but I was there any way that you guys could have maybe you know how you do the drawing contest to all the kids in the school maybe some Gladstone some Azusa to have like a contest maybe narrow it down to like 20 right and then bringing the ideas here and then we could have voted like that wouldn't that have been easier because then this way you know it's coming from Gladstone and also from Azusa like
092you could have picked five and five and that's it just leave it Anonymous and whatever wins wins you know what I mean because obviously who's gonna relate most students or just parents we're people from the community and we can't really relate to what they're saying except for the fact that we're voting and we're trying to use our best judgment but I mean ultimately it's going to be them who are going to carry that years they're not graduating yet you know because now they're going to be known as something else you know like she said it doesn't relate to them and if you say you know Azusa Aztec Jaguars it's like it's kind of weird but I mean because I did vote no mascot but just because I was like I want to see what it
093would look like to just put an idea right instead of a mascot you know maybe that would have related more but again I'm not a student I know I've heard students I mean I'm sure you've heard other people say like why didn't they choose this or why are they doing this you know I think that would have been the best bet to get ideas habitable and ultimately have a team like this and then vote on it one one comment I think that went out the window when Board of Education decided Aztec because the keeping of the word Aztec does not allow wiggle room really for they're not being that kind of awkward or slightly you know disconnected connection you know so it's we're we're in a bind and I think if that were to go
094for that had to come from the students in the future are something else and even though I agree with you like that's that process is what sounds right to me also but at the same time it's the Aztec was kept therefore we have to kind of work in those parameters of that word being kept well it should be fair worth our student meetings last year I know that the principal came to Sarah and met with Sarah tried to meet with Sarah students he came to Gladstone too so I mean and I know he spoke to his other students as well and I think that our Hope was that you know given people's connections and their various you know areas they're representing various groups right that you're bringing in opinions and voices from those groups right
095so it's not just us sitting at the table but like Natalie said right she was speaking with fellow students right talking to them about yeah I think the other part about this and we're going to talk about this again right it's the education part like how people didn't understand why the aspect was an issue and then second people don't even know about the Jaguar either they don't know it's an animal that was in the Americas and in America and also was situated in various parts so that's the other part right when we talk about mascots people never really think about it although people should um and this is even questioning other mascots out there but um I think like once the education also comes and people can feel more connected to something you know on
096most of the times we don't feel connected to a simple unless we understand that symbol and I think it goes for everything we don't know the value of something until we understand the history until we understand what it means and all of that it's helpful thank you all right so at this point given where we are um do we want to do a quick revote just since we were presented with this extra information yeah or do we leave it as is do we take a vote on this yeah raise your hand high and proud if you want to do a repo one two three four five three four five I don't care so if you want me to write it out um sorry to interrupt I did on my internet went out so I don't
097know what we're voting for my internet cut what were we voting for oh just a question what could we wanted to do a Revo after that that most recent like uh the presentation of the the no mascot images oh okay all right it sounds like there's not a not a majority not a majority to do that um and so I mean I think this is where we're at as a committee um again I know this is not the easiest thing in the world so I appreciate your time I appreciate your commitment and I appreciate your voice uh to it um so I'll say it again just so it can start ringing right as it was like high school Aztecs over the Jaguars um and now for sure we will need to come back to another
098meeting to discuss imagery and discuss wants needs desires ideas on what this might look like Sarah gave us a running start uh with with some possibilities of what this might be but again we'll have a design firm that will listen acutely to that conversation that we are going to have and um try to represent that voice in in a set in a in a logo mascot Set uh for azuzah for Azusa High School um and for those of you who voted no mascots um the idea is that you you put into that the things that you're passionate about please bring those to our next meeting because those can also be incorporated right into the local thousand percent so next week I'm going to be working um serving as a co-worker for the election so I'm
099not going to be next Monday holidays oh yeah so November so I so we'll we'll put out we'll put out because again I always feel bad when when I look at the clock and it's past our time and the time that you have committed to this so we'll put something out I'll also put up a quick Google form if anyone is interested in coming to the Board of Education again I think it'd be awesome to hear it from the committee not for me I think that would be that would be great um and so I'll move forward to put on the board agenda for 11-1 just to make the official announcement to the board of education of where we are going with this where we landed on this and then if we haven't had that
100discussion that's fine then we'll say that on the other one we'll say on this date we're going to come together and we're going to have an opportunity to to talk about what it might look like or the things that we want to see represented in the mascot um and then the design firm will start getting ready and a little bit to your point um that's also going to be choices and so maybe this is a way to all the community involved the the student body and the families and say here here are some some different options that fit into what this committee talked about and maybe we can have some kind of Engagement around around that piece because there's a concrete idea now correct there could be you know Jaguar one two and three yeah
101kind of put it out there and get the ideas from the kids to see you know this is what it is now what do you think I mean I I think there's even possible the possibility of having like students just submit their ideas before your age is being a design permit right yeah and to speak on that I agree with it let the students decide that part but make sure it's Equitable from both high schools yeah right yeah make sure that's the emphasis on that word yeah just think honestly if we include the students the ones that are incoming because they're the ones that are going to feel it the most when they walk on that campus for the first time as Aztecs we need to also ensure that the Jaguars doesn't isn't like I
102don't know of like also having some aspect stuff on it correct so yeah and that'll be part of that conversation a thousand percent so so I know we're out of time um I'm wondering do we need are there action items here like do we need to decide how we're going to students and like what we're going to ask them to submit I think it shouldn't just be the incoming freshmen who are going to be there next year it I think it should correctly no no no the current students will be coming in two years two is through the high school to get okay the 10th and the current 10th grade but also to include the incoming uh freshmen all right next year so for our next meeting maybe like in the in between time we
103can be thinking about like how we want to involve students like what how that that kind of um like what that call might look like right what we might ask them to submit um and and how that conversation might go and then we can talk about that yeah yeah what are we looking at for the next meeting oh you want to decide that right now yeah we should okay um the next well [Music] um it's not going to be before the board meeting no no no I have to go but thank you Miss Ford will text me the rest if she can Yeah by everybody thank you the next one is November 7th that work oh yeah I'm not gonna be here the the how about other folks so November 7th meetings that's who discuss
104logistics for how we're rolling out you know this kind of voting phase from you know the students or is that I think I think part one I think part one is really speaking into the do's and don'ts on the Jaguar right and so again so that so that we can be very clear about that because I think that is of the utmost importance um right that we voice what this Jaguar is because I mean that can go from caricature right to ferocious right depending on on where where it is and what we see it I think like for instance an example right that it doesn't have any Aztec uh imagery that would not be represented well or whatever and so I think that's the most important conversation and then given the bandwidth of that meeting
105we can definitely talk about next steps at that point in time we will have a new tool in the district that we might consider it's called thought exchange um and so that's like a survey slash social media tool um that has proven to be quite awesome and other districts are using a very in a very cool way and so maybe that's a an Avenue with nobody might want to consider but yeah we could talk about all those kinds of things that our wish list if you will of how we move to a final decision of what is going to look like so we're looking at November 7th quick that's what I would suggest but I mean again I'm open to investors that's fine because I can do that if that's the possible yeah I mean
106I don't know what time I actually get off that day but if it's possible then I can just join it whenever I do but I think you know we've got you're good about it so should I think uh if I have to send that one out it's fine okay sounds good thank you all thank you I mean I know you know these decisions can be disappointing and and challenging and all of that but thank you for for all of the effort that you put into this and for being here all right we'll see you on seven thank you everyone thank you
