006the people on their transfers are leveling up and the motor division. Congratulations on that for the awards that was and that was on number C. And um also I want to uh thank all the people uh Mason Williams, the EECU, Julie Greenwood, and Dick Chansy for all contributing to our uh dinner. Is this Are you on the right agenda item? We're on item five. It's okay. That was the one before. Yes. He may not have heard that we quote moved on. I have a real trouble hearing you actually. I think um and I'm I don't have a hard I don't have a hard time hearing, but you're very soft and he can't hear you very well. Maybe switch try the other mic maybe or bring it just really close to your mouth. But those were
007my calls. Okay. Can you hear me? Test. Okay. But I think it's your mouth has to be closer to it. Kind of like singing and kissing a Okay. No, you finished the comments that you do, right? Um I did actually. I just a quick question. I What's a Zero Knox cart? Oh, yeah. Those are our little electric carts. You'll see um our maintenance staff and our um principles as well as some of our uh coaches for our different sports. There's white ones and tan ones. There are electric carts that we got with a grant a few years ago. So, the maintenance staff uses them to get around the campuses. And then the principles um and coaches will use them if there's a game and they're going out to the field in case a student needed
008to be transported or something. Never heard that expression before. Guess I should have turned it on. Sorry. I had one question and I apologize I didn't. Um there were two on here. I know the first one is on um page six at the top of 17. The sped case manager contract virtual. I saw that it said due process, but there were two on there. Are those two different due processes or is it like one of those is for the due pro due process for the phys um speech and physical therapy uh that we do virtually. Okay. And then the other one is the case manager um due to us having such a high case load for special ed. Uh we contract with this agency to do some case managing for the IEPs because um each
009um teacher has a certain amount they can case manage and then we contract with the same agency to do the additional students. Is that correct? That is correct. But also part of the reason why we needed the virtual case managers because in one of our spe um special day classes for a large portion of the year we had a substitute teacher and a substitute teacher cannot write IEPs or facilitate IEPs. And so we needed help with that. And then we have a combo class situation at one of our sites which is a RSP and SDC combo. and we have a teacher on special assignment there who also cannot write or facilitate IEPs. So, we needed help doing that because we were under staff with special education teachers that can perform those tasks. Thank you. You're
010welcome. That was all I had. Okay. And I was just curious on the GASP, sorry, GSB 75 full valuation first installment. What page is that? That was on 17. I should have asked Tara, but I she knows everything off the top of her head. So, um that's our annual actuarial study that we um they study the cost of the liability for the health and welfare for all the retirees. Um that um once they retire, they still have health and welfare till they reach the Medicare age. So every year um the auditors always will ask if we've done a study um so we go through this company well we've used a few different ones but where they will publish the study that'll be at a future meeting just saying like this is what it will cost
011the district over the next you know 20 years to pay these benefits and then we have our trust which you've seen other times where we have the balances in the trust to cover that cost. So it's just a report that kind of summarizes all the activity it's required for the health and welfare benefits for retirees. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much, Terry. You're like a little computer. Scary sometimes. Okay. Any other questions on the Morris? We'll call B, please. I I I I. Next item. Let me get out my words here. All right. We have uh item six, hearing of persons wishing to address the board. I'm just going to read this really quickly. The public may address the board on any matter pertaining to the school district that is not on the agenda.

Good evening. Um, wasn't sure what I want to say. I tried to figure out how to spell a bid you ado, but I couldn't. So, farewell um is uh is my topic today. Um, we have started with our two uh new replacements. uh May 1st and training is going well with that. Um so my hope was to be able to introduce both of them uh for you tonight, but Vicki had jury duty today and I think
014in the process forgot that the meeting was tonight. So I have one of them here. Uh we have James who has been with us for seven or eight years. Eight years. And uh he will be taking over the the maintenance and operations side. Um he's probably got the highest learning curve at the moment. Lots to learn with the construction and stuff going on. And um then Vicki who uh came across the uh the parking lot from the high school and uh we'll be doing the transportation. She's jumped right in and she's doing real well. um she's already been uh able to um look at we were trying to get the field trip request online and she's working on that to try and make that happen. Um has some ideas. So that's there's already some good
015stuff that uh I just didn't have time to get to um going on. So um you will be in good hands and uh and so this will be my my last meeting. Um, can't say that I've haven't had great times here like all of us over the the months and years, but uh but yeah, this will be the last one. One more last before the the end. So, thank you. It's been a great run. Chapter one is over and we got to figure out what chapter 2 is. So, thank you. Thank you, Robert. Our next one is Mr. John Carroll. That's up for seven. Okay. Oh, okay. So, you want to comment on a specific item? All righty. Number seven, action items. Aim is to approve the renewal petition for Yusede Wona Charter School. Is
016there a motion to approve? I motion to approve. Is there a second? I second. Any discussion on this? I'll just say I love that whole program. I think it's awesome. Bl's here. He was here last month where we did the um public hearing for the petition um to renew the charter school, the the renew renewal of the charter school. And so um if it's approved that'll run through June 30th, 2029. And then I also attached um if you remember last meeting I let you know that we would have a separate memorandum of understanding for the special education services. And so that is here for you to look at. Of course um I'm authorized to sign off on that per the board. Um but I thought you would want to look at that. So that's there.
017Glenn and I have discussed it and we both agreed to it. So, we will be signing that and then um Glenn was so gracious. Of course, attorneys have to put those together and so um we will be splitting the cost with with Glenn for for that being done. So, we have that in place and everything looks good. Yeah. So, we're still waiting for a permanent teacher. Correct. Permanent teacher. We are we've got we have we put the ad out and we got about 18 applicants and we whittle it down. We've got five or six that look really good. So nice. Wonderful. We're confident we're going to make this work. Oh, perfect. Good. All right. Wonderful. Okay. Any further discussion? Okay. Roll call. I I I I very good. Very excellent program. Thank you, Mr. B.
018Item 7B, approved reading difficulty screener. Is there a motion to approve this? I'll approve. A second. A motion. I mean, yeah. Words. She motioned. I second it. Okay. Thank you. Any discussion on this outside the door? Do you guys have any questions about this? No. This is um yet another requirement by the state. Imagine that. And so, but this is actually this is this is good and and much needed. Um we we do this pretty much already. Um, but now starting this coming school year, you we the board has to approve the adoption of the screener, which is going to be Dibbles, which we already have. Um, and so we have folks that are already trained on that anyways. And so that's one of the ADOP um state adopted screeners. And so this is sort
019of a formality where the board has to approve using that screener. And that is on the list um from the letter from Tony Thurman um of which of the screeners that are allowed to be adopted. And the good news was we already had it. So that's great. The end class. So um that's what we'll be doing. We'll be using that and we'll be screening um kindergarten through 2 graders um have to have the screener at least once a year. And now if you see it on the warrants and maybe you'll remember from this you're like, "Oh, that's the one they use for the breathing screen." Yeah. Because every year everybody goes, "What's dibbles?" Right. Right. We use it for other other things as well, but we'll also be able to use it for this purpose.
020Okay. I had a question. So, it says that we there's a chart in here that says that we we we may use a myra or is it a mirror McLass roar or multitudes or all the above? Which which one do we use? Dibbles. McLass. class. Yeah. Yeah. I was just curious about Thank you. Of course. Okay. Approve. Approval for this. I I I I item 7 C approve the 2025 2026 summer pool contract with the My Club. Is there a motion to approve? Do we need to hear a public comment first? Is Is this the public comment? Yes, we can do that first. Go. I think we have to have a motion first. Amend the discussion. Amen. The discussion heard of the discussion. So, someone make a motion. Did someone make of approval of the
021contract with my club for the pool? I'll second. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Now, it's public comment. Yes. Good evening. My name is John Pero. I just got asked some questions. Hopefully some of you can answer here on the my club thing. Um, one of the things because this is a swimming situation. By the way, my club used to be called the Boys and Girls Club. Why it changed to my club is, you know, up to speculation. But um so a couple questions. These are girls and boys that are going to be swimming over there. Are they going to be are boys that are pretending to be girls going to be allowed into the girls bathrooms or dressing rooms? That's one question. Um are they going to if a boy is being is saying that he wants
022to be called by a different pronoun, do other students who are swimming have to abide by that? That's another question. Um on page three there's the requirement of a criminal background. So my question on criminal background is um are they scouring social media when they look at criminal background and are they checking to see whether there's any child porn or any other things such as that. I mean, I don't know if you've been asleep at the wheel, but there's been so many things that have come out in the news over the last few months of sexual abuse in various schools across the country, and I don't know in the criminal background how thorough that is. So, I have a question about that, how thorough that is. What do they check? It's a lot of students
023that are doing the jobs. It's the lifeguards and then the my club staff assistants are all students, usually high school students. Okay. So, so the staff, but the staff would have the criminal background then, right? The ones that already work for my club, right? And then there was something in there about a replacement. If a staff member couldn't make it, has that person had a criminal background? Yeah. They have to follow the same policies and procedures of employment law. Okay. So, I just um yeah, I just think simply because it is a swimming situation. Um I would like to know some of the answer to those questions because that's a very bold. Well, it's at the high school, so they use they have female and male restrooms there. And then there's also um u I
024think there's an individual restroom for people to change in or use if they didn't want to. So if somebody was if a boy was saying that he was a girl, would he be required to use his restaurant or my understanding? We're following state law. Yeah, we are all and also state law and federal law is a lot different now. So just so you understand, my club is its own organization and its own entity and they and they're they're employer. We contract with them through our ex extended learning opportunity grants and we pay them to run the program. So they all of the questions that you're asking honestly need to be asked of them. My directors but the school would bear responsibility for that. We do not we don't hold any of the insurance for it.
025We simply pay them to run a program extended learning. Yeah. And our students attend. So that's why cuz our we use our grants so that our students have the opportunity to attend a summer learning program. So the school is immuted from any correct if anything funny happens or whatever. Yes. If something criminal or illegal or whatever. Yes. It's not a school's money. It's not it's not our program. Who's paying for it? We pay for it, but they are not our employees. None of those people are employed. But wouldn't a school like know if they're paying somebody? Well, you're at you want to know. So, if you want to know, you need to ask them tax dollars. That's No, I that's fine. But I'm just saying like that would we not follow the same rules and
026regulations and we contract with them. So, like you said, but there's something in there about confidential records of information. So, are you saying that these are students? So, they have what exactly is a confidential record of information? maybe their social security number when they filled out their application, right? Things like that. Anything else on there? I don't think so. I mean, when it was Boys and Girls Club, I understood that they um weren't um able to continue sponsoring in the area. So then local people got together to continue the program and they created my club. They created their own organization, their own entity, their own business essentially because Boys and Girls Club was going mostly to bigger um cities or bigger areas. Okay. But this says that these confidential records are subject to non we
027would have to ask are you're looking at the contract. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we I am with Terara. I believe that that has to do with the information that they are giving to them when they are being employed and that is confidential. They can't share that with people. Driver's license number, social security number. They us for the payroll. So I would I'm assuming that's the main thing we're paying is the payroll. So it would be those records of the employees for payroll purposes like their routing numbers and all that kind of stuff. So the school hires there the school pays for it but yet you don't know any information coming. No we know a lot of information about it but no I'm not on the board. I can't be any more conflict of interest.
028Yeah I used to sit on the board. Um, but but what I'm saying is like we don't employ those people and they have their own policies and they have their rules and their policies and the things that they're doing. So if something happened, the person would have to they would have to legally file something with the with my club. My club. Correct. And we've done this program for several summers. Okay. And not had any issues. Okay. I was just curious. Yeah, of course. You could reach out to the um Clarity Helps, right? Helps, Jen Simmons. She's the my club director and I and if you go on their website, there's an email address and a phone number. So, I'm sure you could reach out to her and ask if you could have a time to
029ask her any of your questions or concerns. She always answers me right back anytime I have a question. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Thanks. You're welcome. Any other discussion? Oh, and I just wanted to note on there, there's the two amounts, but we split the contract with. So, you'll see a note on the top right corner. Fast Lake pays 67% of the total. So, the middle column there has the full total and then to the right of that is the total that we'll pay because they do that based on the enrollment and the majority of the student our majority of our students and then um does have a small group that comes from Kors Gold and Riverold. So they look at that ratio to figure out what portion Yeuseite and Fast Lake will pay.
030Last year I did have a question about that I wanted to verify the changing room protocols. Do you recall that Michelle last year I have a I don't quote me right but I have a slight recollection that I remember that question and I I believe that the response was that they were letting one kid in at a time to change. That's what I remember. Yes. Um, it's been a little, you know, I've slept a few times since then, so I'm not for sure, but I remember that being the answer from from my hub. Yeah. And I believe you had mentioned at the time, unless they were siblings, they could go in together, but Right. If they felt comfortable, if each of the children felt were okay with that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Good. Yep. All right.
031And do we have a motion? Well, we already did our motion. Shall we approve it then? I I I Okay. Item eight, information items. A is the academic achievement report. Mr. Towns will share this. Yeah. So, several meetings ago, um the directive from the board was to create a five-year plan for academics. And so, I got busy on that and I started to work on that and I have a draft of year 1. I thought that it would be a better use of everyone's time if I just stuck to year one. And we had conversations about that because that would drive year two, year three, year four and so on. So I have before you and I shared with you um year one of what has been developed thus far. Um, I've shared it with
032um, leadership in the district and we've had conversations about it and so it's before you and hopefully you had some time to look through that. It would take a really long time to go through item by item. It is attached obviously to the agenda. any staff member, community member, anybody who has any questions about it or any comments. Um, I'm happy to have those conversations with them, schedule meetings, um, so forth. But there it is. Do you guys have any questions, comments? The formatting I am not in love with. I'm going to change that one. It's the meat and the potatoes right now, right? And then once we feel comfortable with that, then I will format it in a much nicer right way, but I wanted to sort of just get the information out there
033of of what um we're looking at doing in the district. Well, I thought it looked pretty good. It says right there, it's a this draft only includes year one and it's a draft. It's a, you know, first go at it. So, right. I know there'll be more. Yes. And you know, it's going to be a living document, right? Like there's probably going to need to be times where we look at it and and make some changes and adjustments to it as we go on. But I think having a road map and a plan like we've talked about um some expectations and and tied to that and protocols um I don't see that I don't think that anytime you don't anytime you have those types of things in my experience things have gone better. So, I'm
034feeling hopeful that it'll improve improve things. So, how does it work with uh curriculum adoption? Are there at one point you guys used to have teams that would get together? Yeah. So, the next big adoption is going to be math, but the but that won't happen until next year. So, we're going to start developing a committee to start looking at the state adopted curriculum for math and then um yeah, there will be a committee and discussions about which one people like or don't like with recommendations. Yeah. Um speaking of curriculum, can you um implement seeing the stars? What was Can you explain that? That's under um special education curriculum. Yeah. implement seeing stars in special education classrooms. Is it just a program? It's a program and they've been um receiving training on that. Honestly, our
035special education director is going to be able to speak more intelligently about that. But it was on a past agenda because someone had brought it up. It was purchase right and there was flyers attached of what it was about. If you look back, you might Yeah. So that was um a curriculum that the special education teachers really liked and have been talking to the special education department about and so that was purchased and then training was given on how to implement it. Any questions on this? When will I do have a question when Okay, so this was your um first year um draft and so So that's like the for the upcoming year. Upcoming year. Yeah. And then um is this going to become an action item in the future that we um need to
036approve or adopt? And then that's that would be ideal. I mean, we don't have to, but if that's something you guys would like to see, we can certainly do that. You know, like like with the LCAP, you legally have to like do all of it, right? So that's that's a local board decision, right? So like if you guys want to say, "Okay, I want it to be the f like we want to see the final, fill in the blank." Mhm. And then after that maybe give some time to like okay now now now that you have you've finalized year one that would make sense to now start adding year two year three year four so okay I just wasn't sure when we might see like the final draft and then updates. Yeah because I think
037and maybe we can talk about this at our board workshop when we have our board workshop. Um, I think one of the concerns I might have too is just when is it going to be, you know, addressed? When are we going to look at it? When are we going to evaluate it and, you know, make sure that things aren't being forgotten or dropped off because sometimes that's happened in the past. Well, clearly this is going to have to be finalized soon, right? Because we're going to have to be having lots of conversations across the district on letting people know, implementing it, and so forth, right? So I would think that probably maybe the second meeting in June, right? There should be a final draft and then um maybe we have conversations when we do the
038board workshop about like how cuz cuz we have an academic achievement standing agenda item, right? So do we bring this up here periodically? Do we want to continue to analyze the plan or do we want to because what I'm going to tie to this is kind of like the LCAP is like okay how are you going to how are we measuring this what's the metric right so do we want to once you guys see that do you just want reports on like how is that going right or do you want reports on is the curriculum committee meeting is you know how are the pacing guides coming along I don't know like I mean a lot of that is just like that's what we do Right? That's what the teachers and the principles and like that's
039our work. Right? So I don't know how much you guys want to manage that or if you just want to have academic achievement metrics shared with you periodically. M I mean, you know, like we do the I Ready stuff, but maybe we say like, okay, we also want to see, you know, more local assessment data or more or we want to we want you on the metrics to say like, okay, there's going to be four meetings for curriculum and I want to we want to know those dates and maybe like, you know, how did that meeting go? Like that that type of stuff. I don't I think that I would be interested in um I know that like you've provided this and it's a draft, but I think that I would like to you to
040orient us to this plan with the details. It's not that we're making those decisions, you and your staff are, but to have a better understanding of the plan and then for us to make those decisions about when we want to see the updates and what we would like in those updates based on the work that you're doing. Yes, I think that that's a good plan. I don't know what you guys think. Yeah, I think that sounds good. Do you want to have a workshop or Well, you're already planning a workshop. We're going to be having a workshop, correct? Yeah, but I don't know that it includes this, right? That I think that's going to be a really long workshop. We're going to have to have a weekend, right? Okay. So, we'll schedule a separate one
041for this. Yeah. Yeah. So, maybe maybe in July. How do we feel about that? Since we're working, we already have a meeting schedule. We don't usually meet in July, but there's no We already have one. Oh, that is Yeah, that's right. We have now that we'll have two. Now we'll have two. We have a lot of work to do. I think I I think we just want to, you know, stay up to date and make not Yeah. You know, and help you figure out if you know and when things Okay. So, we'll schedule a academic achievement workshop. Go ahead. I need to do that with Denise's input. Mhm. Absolutely. Yes. And I just have a question on objective 4. To host community events to support families in their children's academic and social emotional development. Do
042you have an example of a community event you'd host? No. Okay. Not really. Not not like quick off the top of my head. I mean, we already do a lot of them, right? But I guess maybe embedding maybe like when we have back to school night maybe we're going to say to the families in room fill in the blank and in this room fill in the blank number you know room number one room number two there's going to be um a work a parent workshop on how to best help your children with reading. And maybe a teacher or a principal might volunteer to do a, you know, a workshop with parents on strategies on how to help their kids with their reading fluency at home. Or maybe we do that for math. Or maybe we
043do that for um how to monitor social media for your kids. Or maybe we do a workshop on the importance of attending school. like all of these things that we're focusing on, chronic absenteeism, academic achievement, reducing our suspension rates, like maybe we embed that into what we're already doing, but it's an addition, right? So it doesn't feel like so much more extra things. We can kind of build it into what we're already doing, but maybe what we're already doing is going to look a little bit differently, look a little bit different to meet that objective. Does that make sense? And we had talked about last month Tara was going to do some burst little flyers maybe just to you know the parents to you know something like you know have you read to your child
044tonight or something some kind of encouragement to get them actively involved in that really positive thing. All right. So, I think that's it. That's it. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Town. Item 8B, we're going to schedule a board governance self evaluation. So, we already talked to all the board members. We decided on the date of uh July 16th or 18th, excuse me. I'm sorry. It's July 16th for the board self- evaluation and also uh a governance workshop to go over our governance handbook. So to look at our vision. Was that the September one? No, we're not doing September to July 16th at 5:30. So that would be an open meeting. That's at 5:30. Correct. Okay. Is that going to be here? It's going to be in the old about location open session. Open
045session here. It's in July. We're having July. Oh, you're not we're not having board meetings. It's not a regular but but those meetings have to be um it needs to be a public meeting like it will be here. It needs to be posted is the word I was looking for. Agenda and posted. Yeah, it's a special meeting. Yes. Um, but we can we can do it here or we'll do the location over there. I mean, we don't need to probably decide that right now, right? Like, but we'll find a space to do it and that'll be posted on the agenda. Perfect. Yeah. But it's 5:30 on the July 16th. Correct. Okay. Yes. Okay. Item 8 C, enrollment reports of Pierce Elementary. That was just skipped. Oakris Elementary has 354, Massuma 258, OCI 175, and Bliss
04621. So, at the last meeting we had 802 and now we're at 808. So, we went up slightly, which is nice to see, but you can see the previous numbers there if you wanted to do a comparison. Thank you. Item 8 D, interd district transfer reports. Nothing interact. Item 8E is the 2024 2025 Sunshine proposal CSEA and CEA number 757 to Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary School District. So in the in the attachment you see the proposal is to um it's the reopener of the 2425 um negotiations and so they have sunshine to open article 8 benefits article 6 grievance and article 11 leaves. the district is not sunshining anything um for this year that we're wrapping up. Um and so this is just an information item and then I'll be in touch with them
047to schedule a meeting to negotiate these things. So just just for clarification, this is for the current school year that we're in. Correct. And so that was there was already negotiations had they want to in part of that negotiation there's a I forget what article it is but they 21 or something it says that they can reopen what we've already discussed and it but it's only like you can reopen this and three other um articles and so they are asking it's basically they're asking to revisit after we already agreed. Yes. So, it's like a second proposal. The district can respond. So, I can say Yeah. So, we'll we'll we'll come to the table with them and we'll listen to what they have to say and we'll do negotiations again. Uh-huh. And you're going to do
048this before the end of the year? Yes. And so any decisions will be like retro back to the beginning of the school. These are all more articles of like language other than benefits like grievance and leaves is more in the contract like our language isn't legal. It might be that it might be the it might be like they want to add a word like vacation day or you know what I mean? It's it could be talking about the language. It's not necessarily going to be a monetary fiscal retro thing. I didn't realize that once you already um agreed and approved the previous negotiations. I didn't realize you could reopen them again. If you have it in the contract, like if that was part of the negot if that was part of what we negotiated then
049that if you want to reopen and look at these things, okay, you can reopen them. Some sometimes what's happened is maybe a law or something has been passed about a grievances and maybe our language says you have to file a grievance by this many days and maybe now the law is 5 days and so they might just simply want to look at what wording we have and make sure it's updated. Perfect. Yeah. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it. Okay. And so the next item, the consideration adoption of board policy and administrative regulations, board bylaws and exhibit revisions was removed. Was removed. It would be on next month's agenda. All right. And we're on item nine, accomplishments and other reasons to celebrate from throughout the district. And we have Booker Elementary School. All right,
050let's handle this guy. Awesome sauce. Let's try that again. Says it is There we go. All right. Good evening, everybody. Um, all right. There's some fantastic things to share um with about OES. Great things are happening. Uh, we wrapped up our annual philanthropic event. We um raised cash and coins for college. So, there's the YHS community um event night, community awards. That's the word I'm looking for. And so, OES kiddos and staff turned in jars of coins um in an effort and cash and bills, too, to raise money. And uh we in three weeks uh the kiddos donated $1,100 to our um YHS Yeah. seniors and so we awarded two scholarships um 200 two $550 scholarships. So that was super exciting. Kids loved it. Uh we had the um Super Eagles performing troop come and
051present a fantastic lesson. Um, oh, Super Eagles performing troop is the um, junior the OCI theater elective taught by Miss Vent. And so she she brings them over and um, so they presented an anal lesson to our uh, first and second grade students. You see the super squad up on top. And they taught our kiddos all about calming powers that they can use to calm down when they're feeling upset, like deep breath defense, quiet corner retreat, um moving mindfully, and counting down. And the kiddos loved it. It was fantastic. Um Eagles Esports have some new setups. Um they the new setups include new carts and gaming systems and controllers. The carts like store everything and keep it all organized neatly so they can just pull it out and get ready to go instantly. And um
052with the additional gaming sets, 24 students can play at once instead of 16. So they are excited to have that um additional capacity at the Q conference. Mrs. Mrs. Hston and Mrs. Burton learned um a new style of tournament play and so the students basically battle each other for ranking numbers and uh it's really spiced up the competition. They enjoy it. So you can see them playing like on both sides of the console and there's some other ones like behind in the picture that you can't like that the picture didn't capture. But yeah, they love it. It's very very engaging. Um, this was I I could not believe this when Mr. Mac shared it with me.

Okay, board member comments. Julie, do you have anything? Uh, nothing tonight. Rhonda. Uh, nothing myself. Oh, wait, no, I do. Robert, thank you. Um, you know, I um my 20 almost 27 year old started at Wasuma when he was five and you were there ever since. and um being an active parent, helping out. You were always so good to help the PTA
062and help us get everything that we needed to get done. And um I know you worked really hard for our district and I just really appreciate you and I wish you well in your new adventures and hopefully you enjoy some non-meating nights now. Thank you. My third. Okay. I was going to comment on some of that too, but she stole my thunder. But uh you know thank you for your service with us and um I I'll still see you in the hardware store right there. But I also wanted to uh I guess congratulate my um James on stepping up and we look forward to your fulfilling the the big shoes of the of the department. So thank you. Is it? Yes. Now you know you do have big shoes to fill. You have to go
063out, you know, icy nights and snowy and report. That's a transportation. That's the other lady, right? Yeah. Many nights that Mr. D has gone out and surveyed the roads and kept everybody safe back. Yes. Thank you so much. And I'm I'm sorry. I would like to also uh say what I was going to say earlier, but I wanted to thank our donors for chipping in on the u um the recognition dinner coming up and uh recognize Julie for her her donation as well. Thank you. The month before Yes. Appreciate. Yes. So, we have the uh appreciation dinner on is that Tuesday? The 27th. 27th. Okay. So, we'll see some of the folks there. Uh, okay. So, I'm enjoying still very much being in Mrs. Glenn's kindergarten class and it's so exciting every week to see
064the progress. And last Friday, kids are already writing sentences kindergarten and it is so impressive just wonderful. But I was going to bring up a subject. Um, it is a not a nice subject but good news. Um, there's organization called Exodus Cry. uh they are an organization that uh advocate for the ending of sex trafficking. They have produced a documentary um called nefarious and they show screenings of that to different governments around the world to end this slavery. And also good news is um they turned in a uh amicus brief. It's about 38 pages. Uh, I was going to send this to some of you. Uh, and I'll just read a little bit about what it's about. Uh, Exus Car's director of public policy wrote a 36page amicus brief detailing what can be found in
065today's pornography. And the reason I bring this up is this is affecting children. 400 million images online. Is this is this district business? Does this have to do with what we I had a feeling you would bring it up. The reason I bring it up is because we have responsibility with children that we take very seriously and this does affect children on a very large scale and that's the reason I'm bringing it up, Julie. Thank you. Um may not be our particular district, but we're dealing with children and it's a it's a very huge issue and that's the reason I'm bringing it up. Um but anyway, this is a uh the Supreme Court will be hearing this case and it has to do with um age consent. U they have to be 18 years old
066in order to view anything uh online that is obscene. And so I think this is a very positive thing. um children right now are able to access anything and the pornography of today is not the same as years ago and it's a very violent um predatory and indoctrinating of children. So we want to do what we can to protect children. We all have a responsibility and when you bring things out of darkness into light that's the first step of being able to eradicate this against children. So, and that's all I wanted to share and excited uh for the end of the school year for everyone. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for all the very hard work that you are doing right now. I know there's a lot of issues that you're having
067to deal with with behaviors, but thank you for being so strong. Okay, that's it. Future agenda items. Do we have anything for for next time other than those uh board policies? Anything? No. Okay. Our next meeting date is June I believe it's the 18th Wednesday. That's correct. And then we have the following week will be okay. This meeting is [Music] adjourned. surprised. [Music] What about adults.
