001two on July 28th. I want to call to order this meeting of the Scott Unified School District governing board. Uh and we'll start with the pledge of allegiance which I will start. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, >> indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Yeah, it's great. Worked out good. The old Zoom pledge. Uh we'll do roll call. Um, so Miss Carney, want to do roll call if you can hear and come off mute. Come back to you. Uh, Miss Werner, roll call, please, if you can come off mute. this morning. We're not hearing you. I don't know if you can hear me. All right. Uh, Miss Lewis, roll call, please. >> Donna Lewis is
002here. >> Thank you. I'm gonna try again with board members Carney and Warner. Miss Carney, if you can hear me, can you come off mute for a roll call, please? [Music] Miss Werner, if you could hear me, can you come off mute for a roll call, please? All right, I'm working with our tech department to see if we can unmute them on our end. I don't know if we're having some technical difficulties. >> Okay. And I see Dr. Patinsky just joined. Dr. Pinsky, if you want to come off mute for roll call, please. >> Yes, Matthew Patinsky. >> Great. >> That would give us a quorum. So we we can proceed uh and would invite board members um Carney and Wernern to unmute when they're able to. Doesn't appear we can do that on our
003end. >> Great. We will proceed. >> I think it's >> Thank you, Miss Wner. >> Okay, we will proceed then. Uh and I need uh approval of agenda. Is there a motion to approve the agenda as published? [Music] I move we accept the agenda as published. >> Thank you. I need a second. >> Mr. Pensy a second. >> Yep. >> Okay. Uh all in favor? Um we'll do roll call one by one since uh we're on Zoom. So uh Dr. Patinsky uh >> approve. I miss >> Lewis. I >> Miss Werner. >> Miss Carney, if you can hear approval of agenda. >> Is it possible to text her response? >> I can hear now. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Uh, Miss Carney, looking for your approval of the agenda. That's been seconded. >> Oh, sorry.
004Sorry, I had no idea you guys had started. It doesn't show on my screen. Yes. Yay. >> Thank you. And I will be a yes at the four votes in favor of supporting the agenda. Okay. On to three, the action items. Um we have two items uh for board action required today. And we will start with item A. Uh and item A is impro approval of the intergovernmental agreement IGA between SUSD and East alley Institute of Technology EVIT regarding provision of career technical education district satellite programs and central campus program. Uh the recommended action is that it's recommended the governing board approve the IG between IGA between SUSD and EVIT regarding participation of students in EIT career and tech education CTED for the uh academic 2526 2627 and 2728 school years. >> Is there any
005discussion? >> Yes. Is there any discussion? any questions? >> I just want to thank the district for negotiating and, you know, insisting on some of the key um terms that were really critical for us to be able to sign up for what is obviously a very valuable program that our students, my own daughter included, uh benefit significantly from. So, it's a difficult thing to do when we know we want to participate, but at the same time, we need to insist on the right terms to do it. So, thank you for that. >> Yeah, I'd like to add that I concur with Matt's statement and uh while I'm going to support this, I would like to revisit it um because I'm not thrilled with the superintendent's approach uh from EIT. Uh but I need to learn
006more about it before I'm more any more critical. I also am thrilled that our Coronado kids will benefit from it and um appreciate the effort it took to put something in place under the circumstances. So, I will be supporting this. >> Thank you, Miss Lewis. >> I have a couple questions, but I'll see if Miss Carney and Miss Warner have any comments or questions. >> No, I'm good. >> Thank you. Um just question from me the the 85 8278 um split how does that differ from previous years? >> The last IGA was 87% um for for each of the years in that agreement. Uh and there was no performance pay that was built in. Uh and and part of what EVIT um raised as an issue of concern is that member districts had substantial in
007some cases substantial um fund balances in 596 and they cited um the the AG report that indicated that in the law that that they're reimbursing for the cost of satellite programs and asked questions about whether they were overreimburing given the size of the fund balance. Uh we we uh and and council uh Nick Busan can talk about some of the conversations there, but we believe that that this three-year agreement balances that concern in a way that is fair to both EVID and to Scottsdale Unified. >> Thanks. Uh another question for me, there is uh exhibit B was the compliance rubric. It says all EVIT courses must meet these criteria to be compliant. And then in the agreement it says if they aren't compliant um they don't reimburse us. Is there much risk there? Is that
008a formality? There's a lot of components in that rubric. Can they come back and say, "Oh, you didn't meet 17 in this rubric. Therefore, it's not an EVIT course and we're not going to reimburse you." I just don't know how much of a formality or risk that is. >> Go ahead, Nick. Thank you, board member uh Shy and members of the board, Dr. Mensel. Um that risk was something that we were highly concerned about in the main part of the agreement. Um going into exhibit B on on the rubric. Um that was definitely a concern with negotiations uh what you highlighted. Um however the approval of the program um process is substantial and is in other parts of the agreement. And so um I I think it's unlikely that um failing the rubric or or
009for a program to not meet a term in that rubric which would cause I think it's highly unlikely that that would cause any withholding based on the terms of the agreement. I think what's more likely is that a potential uh for that program in in the future years to not be approved or to have more critical eye put on it um for reapproval and for for your knowledge the uh programs do have to be reapproved every year. Um I hope that answers your question. >> Yes, that did. That was great. Thank you. And thank you. >> I just had I just had one other thing to add. I apologize because I'm uh a little bit um just very critical of it this entire agreement because I've spent a lot of time with it. Um but
010Dr. Mendel stated that the uh the previous agreement was 87% the the previous agreement was a a uh lump sum proportion. Um but in the in the final year it was 87% and the that would have been 20 24 25 in 23 24 it was 86 and in 2223 it was 85%. So it was an increasing percentage in the previous agreement and and as Dr. Menel stated this agreement is is much more incentive based. Um which we thought was good for both EVIT and FUSD which would you know incentives are good for the for the program and and for um for the district to uh to have an incentive that the workboard uh its goal. >> Great. Thank you very much. Um, any other comments before we take a motion? >> I move that we
011approve the uh IG with EVIT as presented. >> I second. >> Thank you, Dr. Pensky. Um, we'll take a vote. I'll do roll call on it uh with a motion to approve as presented. Uh, Dr. Pensky. I Dr. Lewis >> I >> Miss Carney >> I >> Miss Wernner >> I >> and I'm an I that passes 50. Thank you. And we have a second item uh which is item 3B the approval of lease agreement between SCUSD and EVIT regarding central campus program. It's recommended that the governing board approve the lease agreement between EIT SUSD re the fire science academy at Corona High School. Any comments, questions from the board. >> I continue to echo my same thought and I move that oh I'll move that we approve it as presented. >> Thank you. Other
012comments before moving forward to the motion? >> I'll second. All right, we have a second motion to approve the lease agreement between ET and SUSD reire Science Academy at Coronado. Dr. Patinsky, vote, please. >> I >> Dr. Lewis >> I. >> Miss Carney >> I. >> Miss Wernner >> I >> and I'm an I. That's 50. Motion passes. And with that, we've hit our action items. Is there a motion to adjurnn? >> I move that we adjourn. >> I second. >> Great. And we'll vote on that. Dr. Tinsky >> I. >> Dr. Lewis. >> Hi, >> Miss Carney. >> I miss Mner. >> Hi. >> And I'm an I. That is a vote to adjourn. We are ajourned. Thank you very much for your time coming together for this.
