018areas of assistance Thank you members of the of Council, we're talking about politics JC previously this quarter for Give them a once-over and the team has more detailed information based on your opinions and things to consider while we search for more direction While we continue Adel with the adjustment of the assistance areas I'll let Price speak. Thank you. Dr. Anderson, good evening everyone. It's difficult to keep up with these honors. areas of assistance, but thanks anyway. As Dr. Anderson mentioned, we are going to continue with the information we had on The January 14th working session brought for the members of the community who are paying attention recently to this The topic is a good chord. Why do we have these limits of That assistance helps us balance the population resident helps us plan the facilities
019transport other resources based on the registration This, too, is expected to help us with transport for and also helps us to maintain this the community and neighborhood and also us help with long-term planning If we have population changes, Demographics help us guide the investments In It's important to tell you about the facilities. We all pay attention closely related to that. But there are others who not in January I think it would be good to repeat what We believe we had heard These are the topics from the Council. important the need to examine the trend across the regions changes in the student population interest in analyzing this choice of schools and how that has an influence in the patterns the impacts of the neighborhood schools were a priority ensure that students stay together when they make
020the transition between primary school, secondary school and high school where we want to strengthen those neighborhood communities we have this We want to emphasize the importance of equity in the school and also the role of transportation and walking to school had a request to seek efficiencies in transportation maximizes access to walking when we can and a note for consider sustainability in our review and all the options that we contribute to the advice if you feel we have lacked That's kind of how we built it presentation and that's what we're going to do occupy as guide I'm looking at what they're saying Fantastic! If they have a copy, company This is one of the assistance areas visual representation of all the neighborhood schools in the district This won't be seen at the primary school level In
021these slides we have sent a PDF, but let's add a layer we have this the overlapping secondary ones on top of the For primary schools, we have the legend next to it right and now the lines The dotted lines, I think they're in red. To make it clearer, you're about to see the high schools and how elementary schools go the secondary schools and then they go to the high schools then this map is important when we analyze the differences the different perimeters at the level of the primary within the regions in yes, as we have You had asked to see him. We want to highlight this regional approach some important indicators we have primary levels have been in five regions in the north of Bolder we're going to We're going to work north of Bolder
022and then This May we're going to see the other three In our region we have three schools focus and charter schools and not charter for each region will see the total capacity the number of students residents who live in the area the number of enrolled students that attend schools in this region and the general use that are the enrolled students divided by the ability In total, what you see in green are the charter schools or focus and also focusing only in the north and south of Boulder tonight we want this keep the discussion within the hour designated for that working session then I'm going to allow Glen Crew the planner sir speak Thank you, let's consider the first one North of Bolder you can see the list of schools aligned to the right side We
023wanted to try to continue with the systems as you saw on the previous map They're not very clean for the north of Bolder we can See the schools we include in the northern area bolder and on a map it looks like this with all the schools subsequent when the area is viewed as The entire north of Boulder is the area larger in terms of capacity across the board the district of all areas that We are looking at 3600 students in the south from bolder is 3400 400 is the second most big a little less than the largest area about 40 fewer students than Lafet and Iri, which is the largest area in terms of population residents also have the highest rate low usage And that's something we're going to consider in this meeting and the
024The next one is at 60 percent capacity throughout the area I have one question related to that eh the utilization rate of 60 by. What is the utilization rate per For example, the south of Bolder when one Remove those schools of choice. one idea if one eliminates schools How does the choice change the rates of We can use it to find the answer I don't I have nothing ready. I need to answer it, but it's complicated. It's because we have many students who go and they come and and they mix, it's difficult Isolating is related to one of the goals on the slide first that divides the communities location of choice schools no They are evenly matched among the schools And when we're talking about the east perimeters in Yeah So we have to consider
025that many students travel to give those 800 additional students to those schools of I think there are many choices considerations regarding the usage because there are fewer schools in the one in the north of Bolder than in the can you give me more information about because I notice that there is a population of residents and then a capacity Yes and I agree with Nicole, I also noticed Where are the charter schools, but it's important to divide them into these Five buckets like this, why is it? important to divide into five buckets the north of bolder south of boulder Broomfield was a request from the Council in the last meeting is a way standard of considering the Boundaries are a way of separating into smaller components about where We are having certain difficulties and problems. issues
026and this How to focus on this my The question is about for schools of choice when one talks about the rate of Students focus on usage whose addresses are in that area and They also attend one of the schools of choice as part of this use either no, the use is based on the description not where They live, they notice all the schools and a total of the capacity of the use and the capacity and registration for all those schools and that's how we got the number I thought it was the average people who lives there, those who use the schools in that same This slide takes us to the area general enrollment trend or global in the north of bolder next door left with the darker bar past trends is a change of 5
027years for registration and the resident students is a decrease of approximately 540 students for each category in the over the last 4 years, that's an average of This represents a 4% loss compared to this the district as a whole is a loss of 1.8 by. the clearest bars are the projections then We are projecting continuous losses but not the same rate as in the past we have a projected loss of 270 approximately half of what We had in the last 5 years, that's a loss of approximately two 7% and as I said, the capacity is 60 percent of the general capacity and based on the projected trends we are looking at a capacity of 53 per 5 years in general in this I removed the board from the panel. has a lot of information about
028transcription Open on the left side we see the resident population, students who live This is in the assistance areas in the north of Boulder and east to the right It's the inscription and you can see that there is more students who are leaving their assistance area approximately of a little over 1000 students that do not attend their school neighborhood and approximately 733 students coming from Outside. So it's a 42 because they do open enrollment outside the north from Boulder and 36 as District as whole. Then it's a higher rate of of students leaving the north of bolder trends at the bottom of the slide we are looking at much more activity in open registration with this during the course of time in the last 5 In 2018, the age was 34, but it has... increased
02942% in 2024 also in terms of the composition of the Registration in North Bolder has increased from 28 percent in 2018 to 36 percent in 2024 I have a question about these numbers from the boards we saw last time past the boards or panels of Registration can be viewed at each school individual by 48 of the students who live in in the Columbine area attend Columbine, most of those students they are going to uni Hill Es crestview columbine wer really They support the university population, so I I ask how that is reflected here. that part that is designated as Focus this that a school of focus changes Yes, that would be it. Exactly, there are many. ways to divide that. So we have We've done our best this work for to be able to represent
030that Brian Columbine is considered a school is it a neighborhood school or a focus school because it has a language program Dual is a school of I think this is the neighborhood a Designation is something added to the school of neighborhood more detailed information Open enrollment shows the division for the assistance area for the neighborhood divided for each school the dark blue areas represent students who live in the area of assistance and also attend the school and the green represents students who attend another school within the district but they live in that assistance area the combination shows the entire population of neighborhood for that assistance area We can see that Crestview has 700 students who live in the area of attendance but currently half attend When we look at that we can see that those
0311023 students that I mentioned earlier 507 students attend another school in the North of Bolder with Uni Hill is the predominant school here, another 400 and 8,466 because they attend another school of Boulder Valley district outside of North of Bolder, most in the south of Boulder and the predominant school is a combination of highp and BC So we are considering the area Heatherwood flat irons assistance and Wither are at or below the mark Two classes per school year or two r Excuse me, Kiri, I have a question. all the numbers add up here then we can assume that the numbers where They say they attend a different region. Oh No, that's not true. How do we take into account Those numbers, there are other schools to the which are attending but I am demonstrating nothing
032more than the first three Okay, I understand. Thanks to the opposite, that's the composition of inscription in the north of bolder the dark line represents the students who attend their school of neighborhood and yellow represents the students who attend school because Registration is open and so Orange represents the students outside the district Triangles demonstrate the inscription on In general, what can be seen in 5 years... projections and when it is fixed so of the 733 who register open 541 come from another school in the north of bolder that aligns with a and they are the first three but a little less than 200 are coming from outside the north of Bolder and let's see with the south of Bolder is a very dynamic different similar go to the flat neighborhood table they are or below
033that mark of two rounds even when we fix the lens of the We are considering this registration information and options limits that are available both to help balance populations in particular for schools that are low in population and also correct or strengthen community connections and For transportation, we have a few options. for the limits you can enforce With those goals, we first considered a area east of the diagonal road in The Crestview area has a large number of students in their area of assistance but but the factor that What complicates things is the number of students who They also attend there in the northern part in This particular one is connected with Gunbal has this approximately 500 single-family homes and also multi-family housing And that area assists Crestview, a One possibility is to move it
034to Heatherwood. is part of that gumo community And so it fits naturally it also has approximately 52 students currently and about 60 attend Crash We have some people who attend Heatherwood and the rest lap open to other schools in the district Another complication with this scenario is which also involves secondary or having to follow up with a change of secondary school area Currently this area is in Centennial and Heatherwood is in the area of Plat, another option we had discussed the last These are the non-contiguous areas that We have that in the district, it's in Within is a predominantly area of student housing doing master's degrees at the university next to Boulder High is an area east of The 80 was designated to go to Creekside no we know why Right now it serves about
035six students' point of view transport and administrative It is extremely complex unnecessary given the number of students Then it would be better bring it more to the wier community than it This area has been surrounded by other features. In the past, this area has been closer 20 or 25 students when it ends construction in that area probably He's going back to that number with the Time at the end is the Creekside area the area west of Broadway Creekside has part of Broadway and It can potentially be sent to flat ir is an area that has approximately 48 students have a natural barrier With Broadway there is a natural separation 40% of these students attend Creekside and the others attend other district schools and some They currently attend flat irons This is not like Crestview, the
036secondary school and high school would be regardless of the change in the limit of the Primary school, I think B has many meanings I'm curious about multi-level levels. about of the other non-contiguous areas within from the Columbine area that did not decide present these areas have larger populations than would have an impact of Those were created in the 80s and They're still the same. Then it would be more difficult to see or This disrupts that balance that is has believed with these created with These are the line I I think I'm curious how we are. working with That's why it's important of the system from when I notice that B and C don't accepts high school no Then me I like it hear from everyone else about it who think that one school gives the
037next our system in That's what makes Heatherwood split into several I don't have much of an opinion about these schools. about that, but if anyone has a I would like to understand your opinion. It's something I was considering with a for the Primary to maintain the neighborhood Overall it makes sense and the road diagonal is a significant barrier Children will not cross the diagonal to cycling or walking to the school then that change is very Logically, then that's what's difficult. So for me, I'm focusing on those areas separately in different All moments have a great interaction then the distribution of the Douglas schools are a disaster for for that system of distribution we are trying to as Clean the system or not, I know which guide many inscription patterns open I live in foothill This
038divides into two secondary ones, that guides the open registration the south of ires goes The other side goes to the centennial guide those open enrollment patterns of a important way. So that's very much in The future is worth exploring final decisions will happen later that we can take all those parts in set exactly We currently have a 3-hour session of We'll be working again in May and we'll contribute again. the five regions together with options for secondary school based on the options that are being considered review all that information during that 3-hour work session. That's the intention We will continue to build based on the data we already have and whether it is that there is other data he would like to see As part of the presentation we can Provide that information, but not
039We're going to make a decision on this If I can talk about that moment distribution system for children They choose different places, that's why. increases the likelihood that other parents They make the registration open. Then That can be a free exercise for the stress of parents many Parents do not want to register open to choosing another but there are social pressures on children to Doing that then the benefit of having that system that the primary l goes directly to the secondary then we want to ensure that we are open to having the Open enrollment at the high school no. Then my children went to common manas and they had to enter Southern Hills and we want honor the capacity and expectation of The parents who choose people will I choose for many reasons, but I
040believe Nicole's point, if we're... we want to reduce the impulse to of having to Parents then have many choices to make. different reasons to choose another option and if we can pass that in the pattern of that system of distribution not We are settling on making a decision We want guidance from the Council regarding the options, we need to analyze all of that. From a logistical point of view, We want more direction in transportation. We're not going to look for anything in May. more or we're going to look for more direction, let's go to arrive with a draft, those are changes that will take effect on the 26th 27 nothing will impact the area of next year's attendance, something about From A and C, the two about Creekside Y crestview that will exceed capacity From
041crest view, then there is an argument logical to change the c part in flat irons And that part to the other consider changing those two things The more we think about the future, the more there is There's a lot of logic here, and it has the most... This is big I appreciate the point in those situations that it is trying to level the capacity of the nearest residents to physical capacity in those two areas and we also talked about the community connection It makes me wonder about the location of University Hill and Where does the population come from? How does it impact? the connection to that school And what about all the students who They could potentially walk to the How is the school in your neighborhood? we are creating that connection in the In
042our community, we have many schools that don't They are at their limit or at capacity. The program can exist anywhere, but In my opinion, you can move a program. But a center is a center, I am thinking of all the students who are They get on a truck on the street of Broadway then the connection in the community should be something we should to consider in schools I think that's what we should choose. consider it for conversations about I would like to consider the future Alex. That and talking more about it, but also I want to keep in mind that schools Their focus is on having a mission in Specifically, create a community. No. necessarily a geographical community as a father of students who went to a community school Montessori, that's something real. and with
043the story and how they approach the idea to create the community with the idea of graphic location or neighborhoods where the Students can walk to the schools, I think we should consider That's because it takes a lot of time. layers, okay, any other questions? Over north of Bolder Let's go then continue with the south of Bolder These are the lists of schools and here in the map you can see Here are more of the schools with a focus on this topic. charter represented by the buildings on the map when they look south of Bolder is the area Oh, and a second, longer, bigger one, sorry. as I mentioned the capacity of district is at places but it is the smallest area in in terms of residents more or less in 1600 a little smaller than
044the area of prfi in 1800 using this population of small residents are at a medium level in terms of use a 71 by. And these are the trends for the South of Bolder we can see the residents and the registration lines have changed the registration fee is higher than the resident population year after year looks that the resident population is going in decrease in the last 5 years or more less than 400 students with enrollment being a little more than 450 the average per year in less than one northern year of Bolder that was 4% and the south of bolder 2.7 still above the average of district that negative 1.8 per but more that the northern bolder projections are We do not anticipate that there will be a similar one. reduction as rapid as in
045the past But we believe that anticipating that it will to have a loss of a negative point point 6 approximately 200 students Current capacity is 71 and we expect that decreases by 5 points or points for he 2029 and looking at open enrollment sorry You can talk a little bit Furthermore, why do you think that it will decrease This is the decrease in enrollment Compared to other places, we can explain what they think with that idea based on the decreases of They were not in the past so The options are so great compared to North Boulder And we're thinking about it from the kindergarten students and the new ones These are some of the births main components that distribute They help with distribution. So that's it. That's the reason Sorry for the impact of open
046enrollment For the south of Bolder we can see that There's basically a change from the north of There are fewer students who are bolder acquiring the open registration to the schools in your neighborhood, that is to say no They are attending school in neighborhood we look closer to 1235 students who are taking advantage of the open registration to the south the South School of Bolder almost double of the students who are opting to Signing up is like a $300 profit or 630 students opposite the north of bolder that we look at a loss in the low We also looked at 200 who are opting schools outside their neighborhood that is above the average of district Compared to the north of bolder that was 42 because we looked at one A similar trend in the activity
047of open registration as the north of bolder but no they are not declared the percentage that we attending his neighborhood school in In 2018 it was 32 and it has increased to 38 percent in 2024 and the percentage of enrollment in schools in the South The brothel was roughly at 50% in the 2018 and has risen to 56. In 2024 The one from before, in 2018, basically the 50% of the Registration was comprised of students who were opting for registration open and increased to 56 by and observing the limits of student attendance by graphs who are choosing to go to schools in their neighborhood in the green section students who choose Blue Forgiveness and those who are choosing to go to another school that is not from his neighborhood. It is marked in the bar
048So if you see a green line, it's students who are choosing a school that is not a school in your area Dual Excuse me, can you talk to me? optional Bear Creek on Creekside or Bear Creek table. That means no. They are attending A Bear Creek or mass the The green bar tells us that they are not in the The case of Creekside and Be Creek is not included. going to another school within the Valley Bolder, which is not one of those two. to say that 100% of the students in Those two areas are not attending their neighborhood school not the students who are present or attending and bolder is in be Creek or creekside They are represented in those schools as student of neighborhood. So if we're trying to understand how these two areas
049work I think it should It would help us to understand which schools They were separate from those two schools Because if I look at this there are 50 students in the Be Creek mass area Not so some went to that school And the others, I don't know. Yes, that information. is in the information matrix that I can also teach them then in the southern schools of the 600s students who are assisting us We looked at their neighborhood school 435 are attending another school of the South Boulder with Kity montesori and BS Horizon being the largest contributors to those schools we look at only 168 students who attend another This region is much less than in the northern area of Bolder, that is to say that many students are choosing stay in the south of Bolder
050rather than in the north of wer and we also looked at be Douglas Creek maa are below the double mark of the double the double Round according to the population of the neighborhood and looking at the part of registration, what we can get out of that That's the amount of yellow. These are the students who are choosing Take advantage of open enrollment the schools of choice the schools the of focus of schools charter in South Boulder that receive Registration is open, but we're also looking at... other very large contributions in other schools also of the 1235 that are in open registration for those coming from another Bolder Valley school in the south bolder 452 come from another school in the south of border with Montessori BC and Horizon being the main schools in the that
051those students enroll but We also see that others are coming. students from another region again the same thing are By exchanging we have more students They come into the area and not so much leave. The different thing about the area is that the Main elementary schools Sorry are BC and s High Peak Horizon and Community Montessori I'm struggling a lot with it South Bolder residents have, uh, the A smaller number of students But They are at the second highest capacity. big thinking about the centers schools, how are we handling this? thinking about the environment, there is a lot congestion many cars, I'm wondering how We arrived at this situation; there was a a time when there were so many students in a neighborhood where we make decisions to close schools and it didn't work We're
052closing the center and I think this is a empty space where other schools emerged then put schools where they are our students and the south of Bolder shows us the opposite of that practice Yes, it's an anecdote about what we heard. Year by year How was that system created? Yes, it is. It's because in the round of closings of The 80s played a part in this and found a new purpose for these schools in focus programs the other Part of this is that traditionally in We've seen a lot in the north of Bolder growth in the 80s, 90s and the 2000 and we have the capacity in the south of bolder Oh, and we don't have to create develop or build new schools in it The north is very interesting because we have I've been
053talking about this for a long time now. time and we have and we have not received many emails about this the topic of access to these schools Focus is not easy when they are in the farthest corner of the district maybe they were in the center we could increase access to those schools by a diverse population, that's something that maybe They would consider increasing access to those choice programs put them in a geographical location where it is easier so that students arrive and don't be in the corner furthest from the southwest of the district Yes, I want to say something about that too. in one of the slides many of the focus schools and schools Charter parties are obviously in the green. we have a higher concentration in the South of Bolder and I appreciate
054this speculation that they have that perhaps This We closed many schools and added schools of thought, but what it says Nicole doesn't feel it's fair that so many people in our District do not have access to focus schools and We clearly see many people who They are clamoring for access to these schools, and I think we should mark I think this is something that... we must think more and if I may add a period historical and another way in which What we can think about regarding this topic is that We closed schools in the 80s and then We had a charter school law In '93 people were proposing charter schools and thinking about how we could avoid charter schools and motivating schools and people attend Montessori schools Emilio charter School Core knowledge and They created
055schools of focus and Kim's schools allowed it Montessori bcis bcis High peaks this one They developed as schools of focus and not so much as they didn't allow charter schools and this was a response to the District seeking to control innovative schools so that they would be part of the district and not charter. And yes. They wanted to make them part of the district with many types of services, that's why We have many great schools which are schools of focus and we must to think that 56 percent of families do not are attending their schools neighborhood and I'm excited A heartfelt apology that we support These are options for parents, but We're not looking at the other side. that the students are attending their school neighborhood but as a community we are looking at the
056parents or families who are thus considering that their students attend schools that comply with the needs of their students if I can suggest changing the way in We explore some of our campus for increase enrollment and motivate them to that are part of the schools of This approach then is another an alternative way of addressing this issue Kiry Line and then Jorge Background on How we got here and me He asked, maybe you don't know the answer But how many of these schools They were around when the baby boomers They were born in the 50s or the 60 Yes, I know that a large amount were there, and I know that the schools that this They have been in service for many years. Population increases is a reason, and then came the millennia and They
057kept the schools open. I don't need an exact answer. And yes We have a list, but yes, we do have this an explosion in populations and births one in the 50s, another in the 70s, and another in the 90s So this complicates things for me. a little leaves me feeling less Sure. So where do I go? Here I want to determine what is important and what I believe is Important, as Alex says, I think the School choice is very important and We must contribute and support the continuity in the community that continue giving them to families opportunities and people in the community of using the truck to go to the schools they choose that travel together in the truck, that's all I care about. That's how the community works. community, but I think we can't
058do it neither one thing nor the other where we look at open registration People will go wherever they want to go I think having this path is a good thing idea hew He's trying to put his Part of it is fine, but I'd be interested in Look at this presentation again and Listen OK Here are my secondary ones that if I look at the area of secondary school hookup What can I to create a line distribution How can this work uh speaking about the number of students transportation that would work for all students who are going to Heatherwood the students of the Douglas schools are a great example All Douglas students can go to the plat Or maybe go back and that and to think, pl really has to divide Boulder High in half and
059the Another one to Fairview, I don't know, maybe we can ingennus aria that those around his options transportation to retain students together this is very It becomes more complex if we delve deeper into each Every time we talk about this I'm trying to understand these boards that We looked at the past few weeks and how are connected I know that if we're talking on the discussion of being qualified To the limit. How do we interpret this if there is schools that do not have Forgiveness neighborhoods who do not have a school in their neighborhood or some schools that do not are they complying with both rounds or that are at capacity including schools of focus and others that are completely open registration and They're at 50%. 6% in which they are this one that they
060are taking away I have no students going to other schools I have a question, but I have many. I just wanted to ask questions, that's all. I'm going to delay me, a positive one, all the data They are very important here, but here we It tells a story we are trying to balance resident students We can make many changes and adjustments. But we don't know how they're going to react the students, the parents until Let's make an adjustment, it's going on for too long. It's been a while since we made a change to the attendance limits this the Students may not choose to schools of choice or perhaps this one remain within the limits of attendance with a 70% attendance rate neighborhood schools and 30% have access to registration open in the next 5 years
061then we're going to have to take make small changes moves small and hopefully the residents students react in the way that that we want are very decisions difficult And we have to look at these, these next steps that we will have to There aren't many changes we can make. to do around the students residents who are in this area of the or a solution that we can This is creating, and I don't want to complicate this. more so, but now that you're bringing us back I think that slide helps us. because the focus schools in the south These schools are not in Bolder. south of bolder This is confusing us a lot I know we asked for this conversation geographical division but it is very It's confusing, I don't know if we can go back
062to that. High peaks BC slide SS what other Tles is not a school of choice, they do not transfer the south of Bolder or what we consider the South of Bolder. Because if I think about this conversation If south, the south of Bolder is at the limit Sorry, below the limit, all schools focus and the applications in the geographical areas is becoming more confusing things and when they returned us to the neighborhood schools really show that there are only five schools of neighborhood in the south of Bolder but when They go to the second slide, it looks different then for me this is very I'm confused, I don't want to talk about it. Can someone else add these words to someone but perhaps this will separate it again because I think it's adding one unnecessary
063complication of a topic It's complicated, Dr. Andersen, I'm going to do it. Now it's more complicated how many children live in the vicinity of the schools of focus and that's why they go to those schools, a couple of things I have worked with our team and First of all, the council has done a great work ensuring that through the policies that are passing because a conversation from ago 30 years and if we think about the changes that we are doing we have a rhythm in the This policy has this every 5 years conversation and I don't know how they can think in just solving problems Beyond I think the 5 years is the cycle correct the location of the schools of focus because I think the question The main thing is the location or are
064they the programs within schools I think that's the question. You're going to bcis or High peaks because where it is located or what programs there is They really need transportation They could provide transportation, but this is not the case. We know. And I think that's what It complicates things a little. Because if I live in one side of the Horizons school I'm going to Horizons school. And if the children I went to preschool with They're going to Horizons, I'm going to Horizons is a school of choice. It's not a charter school, it's a... a charter school but I live nearby from BCS and High Parks This, like what Rob said, is correct in the sense that when we are in this We don't have a path to try to balance things. a model that can
065predict what the people are going to do at least that Remove options, you can do it more predictable if you eliminate options I'm not suggesting that you do This, but the smaller steps that Roby Glenn are mentioning or thinking I think it would be interesting to understand if They could put some trends together to help us continue this cycle because if it isn't that resonic These schools in the 80s and 2000s and now in the By 2025 we must think in maximizing our efficiencies budget Ah, I think there are good reasons. business to continue with this cycle 5 years and distribution patterns Schools are very important community organizations are important. schools of focus are also important if it is the focus of the School is for children, students and Not necessarily the location and how
066I said last time that's a very knot big that we are trying to to untie if we try to pull it all to the At the same time the knot tightens more we have that we start with small steps that will help us They will take us on a journey that will help us to achieve what we need now if We have a very large overall process. with the long-term committee The schools are very small, we are advising people and are reacting, truth, one part are the limits of existence is programming Focus is another part, but the interest I think if we ask the Council We as individuals can begin asking people why they come The focus schools program The focus is because your friends are coming or It's because it's close to your house
067or we can say why They are interested in the schools of focus and perhaps we could serve better in another location, but if we don't know those things happen to us It makes it difficult. I want to honor the policy of This council's requests attendance limits and we are sharing a lot information understand what the team It is to be developed with six key points In the presentation, they seem to be the better option but I think what I'm doing which complicates things for me It's just that it's very It's difficult, we're going to create a line. lines the limits for 5 years and me I love the fact that we're going to review This system again in 5 years And I think it's very important to continue making logical decisions but also I think
068it's very important that we have These schools that are on the edge 50% capacity when I started First, with the advice, I arrived at a presentation in elementary school to the three-round primary school and now We are promoting two rounds if We're getting to less, we're going to have to... conversation and the trends that We are seeing that our schools are not will they be at capacity or abort those limits the long-term committee has identified. And that's what's difficult. Because when you're looking at all those schools that are not capacity, yes, it is, those are two things different, but it's hard not to. Looking at them together, I think that's what I'm trying to come up with this idea of three rounds two rounds half a round the boundary and those neighborhood boundaries No can
069necessarily be controlled because they are by state law. But we have I know that many centers exist somewhere. I know it won't be today, but sometime soon point, we're going to have to have less centers And I think that's part of it that's what I'm thinking and I know that We haven't started with the final considerations for the south of Bolder, I want to make sure we arrive I am grateful for all of this. tonight's conversation presentation information and I appreciate the initiative to try find out why people take the decisions they make and yes this always district policy To support their public schools in the community because most families choose For this reason, and to have schools that... What students do matters. I support certain schools are different from others and that the parents
070choose the schools they create and Schools that are not geographically oriented, although they are. I support the efficiency of a school I also appreciate the geographical fact that that we are having a discussion about the 5-year cycle of the limits of assistance with the knowledge that people stay inside the It's difficult to deal with assistance issues. Change that, but I know it's a consideration when home buyers They are making their decisions, and yes, although We have many options. But in the end... accounts When I look at slide 10 and 17 those that have the areas of assistance for the south and north of Bolder and I see how big the parts are They are green, I am amazed and I ask myself what is happening here because they are choosing to go and they don't
071choose the school in their neighborhood and For me, the long-term process is likely Ah, delaying the discussion of what it is what can we do about the change programs to schools so that the families choose to stay in those schools Maybe this... Ah, what can we do? to make those schools with this higher trends green stay above the 300 mark or 450, I motivate them to think about that. programmatically because they are choosing I don't think this type of program... We are losing our parents this neurodiverse dyslexic students who choose to go to the Hellside schools because hellside or because the primary mass As We can include this more in schools. from crw Maybe if we do this more Students would be staying in the neighborhood schools and if we are Thinking about this, I
072think we're going to help increase the efficiency of buildings and retain more people who would choose to go to schools private schools or homeschools and not To complicate matters further, I think that We need to think about that programming. information because this is not a inconvenience and saying okay are going a K monor o cs hps that people choose to go to the schools with the programming that is closer to their houses and to add something in terms of what we are doing about the timeline and we are not making a decision in this not until next year, and that come into effect in the fall of the autumn of 2026 is what requires according to our chronology and this is in the areas that They will be impacted and not No changes will be
073made at the moment. Well, as advice we should discuss and to make a decision But this applies until the year school year 2026 2027 and see if we implement this policy retroactive Very well, and similarly we see others scenarios the south of wer is an area Dual 27 students who live in that only a small portion of the area historically used has been two or I think there are three this year. seven But either way they are lower than 10 in the area of Broadway Street in that neighborhood ber Creek table to one side of Broadway and similarly there is a small area in cricks but it's on the west side of Broadway is a series of units We have four multi-family buildings students of primary first which is an area naturally attached at that
074boundary and? intact and finally This is the other half of the attendance limits of cricks that They represent the boundary sides of the south side of welder respectively for these areas and well yois For discussion, we present five areas And I would ask the council all these questions. areas These are for discussion, or we would like them to be, or They would like them to be analyzed more closely delve deeper into these five areas and bring them to light the discussion in May yes Jason, good in the previous slide of The south area of Boulder has very good logic about continuing geographically but s on the slide that which is marked in yellow and the future projections On the 25th we see a decline in the number of students of I understand the reasons, but
075given The projections, this makes sense, yes. It's like a small discrepancy when seeing If we analyze the northern cresses, we also see It presents the same thing we see here in the south Creekside has areas in the boundary area of cri assistance But it's like an act of balance in terms of the number of students who These occupy areas I'm sure the five ideas it's worth it explore them north of Bolder in the section a If after moving that towards Hey, well, I know I'm changing. now south of Bolder 50, 55th Street is the limit could move the limit from Douglas to the 55 a where to where so that more children that could attend eisenhauer I'm trying to go backwards and let's say send their students to plat Because those children of They don't
076necessarily have to go to Plat could go to Manhattan does move those boundaries towards there and add those children who would go to Centennial, please excuse me, it wasn't Clara. I understand what I am saying what I'm trying to say If you're going to send these children to Hewwood and most of them Heatherwood students enroll there unless then open enrollment They could go to Centennial or go to Plat if we take those children of Eisenhauer and send them to Manhattan to create a better Well, I think he'll agree. Yes, we'll discuss this again in May Well yes, to see to avoid that further fragment this population when They enter secondary school, we're going to analyze the next month and the following one and we're going to discuss it again in May Well, what reasoning are
077we using? When we do such as the inscriptions in Mesa and cricks, well, not currently We have the, we are not analyzing the efficiency in transport everything seems be working Well, we have no problem in contact efficiency, but we already discussed this. Well, I wanted Comment if the audience asks but because What did you leave out? It's very convenient to have a very logical argument and a analysis for to be able to defend our changes What I'm hearing is support general to analyze the five options, and discuss them again, and Some recommendations too, and let's go. to bring the eraser provisional chronology and for what we can answer all the questions that emerged tonight, eh That seems good, yes. And we have... Well, I see that We scheduled a 3-hour work session hours Yes Kiri,
078I haven't given my opinion, but everyone... These options do seem logical to me. that I like to see is those that they do not have to crossing major avenues like Broadway Would it be possible to go to Food Hills? keep the primary schools that everyone Going to the same high school isn't... uh... The thing is, I'm already in high school. Things change a lot more than what changed things between elementary and high school But in my opinion, and well, maybe I already I won't be here when it starts voting on this, but that all the children go to the same secondary school to put this in perspective between south and north of bolder story 98 students and There are between four and six students who Well, I assume we are making this change because this
079in the long run otherwise the term is more efficient Making changes to our maps only by 10 students no no The work is worth it then We need to make changes that have a minimal impact on students good First is transportation and the six children who are now spoken of as Glen mentioned that. That was a few years ago. And I was suggesting if we're going to make the change It's better to do it now while it's still available less impact and we'll see later the perspectives from transportation for Council members Any last questions before we begin? We continued our meeting on the day Thank you so much for today This presentation very thorough and please take our feedback and we reiterate this process Thank you, Council members, before change the organization because we have

For example, Columbine Elementary School. The BC bike where children walk together school lunch program district then we were able to premiere this what we are doing to form the Hopefully, the future of education will be... were able to see the posts has It's been the best, it's all I have to offer Tonight's comments and questions for Dr. Anderson, a member of the council, watching None of us are going to move forward, there is one person for public participation and that The person was cancelled, we will
089continue with communication from board members Who wants begin I want several things I always review the changes for the personal to see who I know that is going to retire or to welcome I want to welcome Christy Gord, who was a detective with the Louisville Police Department She's going to be an advocate for this. school safety and the young man, this is the green council, I'm very I'm so proud of those kids, it's incredible to see How passionate are the children? our students about the climate our future by adapting those new courses that they helped create, let's go to teach children how to think critical form How to evaluate the research to find out what is credible And no, and with some luck we're going to produce a generation of leaders who It's about doing
090the right thing. trying to put ourselves on a path that doesn't we are going to destroy the world where I am very proud of them and I want to talk about the meeting of Last night we talked about the things that We heard it in the working session but we talked specifically about the secondary and the question that arose was not It emerged publicly. But what does he want? advice of the aac in the future because they won't well, do the rubrics for high school just like we do with elementary school because they are very different models So we need some advice. consider what we want Let them do it, and if we want them to do it Something is an "It is according to us" for I decided. Sorry, I took notes at the
091meeting. and they're here somewhere Let me explain, that's not forgiveness. probably just one thing. Sorry that I'm not prepared for something they talked about. These were the programmatic challenges of smaller high schools and We're going to have to consider that and They also talked about El Dorado [Music] and all open registration outside of That school, how it steals, I talk about working with The parents try to find out why it is So what can we do after that? to do, and that was mainly all. I missed something, Robin is everything I had the opportunity to attend a Athletic review committee and I wanted to warn to the community that Chasa has approved This flag football for women as a sport in our state and what we are doing in the district It's trying to understand,
092if there is one. enough students who have interest in playing this sport Then We're going to send a survey to them students in the spring or the Autumn also has organizations community members who want to know more about that interest, if anyone wants that connection, please send me a email and I'm going to do that connection with organizations community groups that are interested in doing flag football for women thank you Alex, I did want to report it. I've had these coffees during office hours I had one last week and wanted sharing things I heard from parents in I heard from several parents in that area that They were dealing with difficulties of Special Education identification students who had a plan then He was discharged and now they are... I'm returning to this plan, focusing on...
093the in early reading and writing and the students with dyslexia And those are the things that become frustrated before from receiving level one services to level two and understand the systems This is from the point of view of the parents listening to them talk about the Frustration about how to find the services suitable for your child and the Two of them spoke about the advisors who make particularly And that's for me. It's because they have to do it, and when We talk about equity, not all of them Parents can do it. How can we? interpreting that in a process and at the same time honor that frustration of the parents So it is What we have done is important in terms of to early literacy adoption for example, dibl as a system but I wanted
094to point out what they are talking about parents and their frustration, I think it's It's good that we're making progress, but I I would like us to double again our efforts in How we affect the instruction for children who can be identified for a plan Individualized Education or They need help with the reader. writing and lately I I would say if we have an institution like hillside that offer services to the people who can pay that money to early writing then We need a program that competes and to the extent that other schools have a program that competes this We are losing people and we need to warn that these programs exist in our I think we need to make schools a follow-up with the work of the neuro students and regents when a parent
095notices that their My son is behind in reading this They need to feel that we are there. responding and that they have options and there are systems that can support you and those systems do not require the family She spends a lot of money, so it was a intense discussion and I wanted this I appreciate you sharing it with the group. The next piece of information I'm going to have It is on March 26th, from 4 to 4 in the Trident coffee if you want Join another answer that I wanted another Something I want to share today I am excited about the changes in the Graduation requirements are important that we have changed the process of having other options for education physics and I want to assure that the Athletic directors are aware of the

099areas around the school and the new policy is different from the That's another practice in high schools It's new, it's from environments the directors of the high school students go to to share The information then the implementation It has been about reducing distraction and use negative aspects of cell phones but also to facilitate interactions between students and foster relationships between I will allow students and adults to Ginger Ramsey begins Goodnight President Rash and members of the Council Dr. Anderson, I appreciate your time. night to share with you a update about our progress with the cell phone policy in the our Broomfield preparatory school The focus in January was on talking and listening to the students while learning from the new policy and can imagine its reaction of some students They shared their ideas and concerns
100With me, our approach was to share new opportunities for the students in being in their cell phones in all Conversations were in the aspect positive to invite we invite the parents two informal meetings to talk of politics and how it would work During January, the following were collected: students' phones in their classrooms on February 3rd we collected the tel the students' phone numbers in common places During the periods I want to highlight the open ones celebrations I've noticed an increase in conversations During the deadlines open the students occupy their free time to complete your work Chromebooks are more visible and in They're actually doing their homework instead students playing games they participate more in the discussions in The students are in class sharing ping pong activities games, puzzles, drawing, and more opportunities are enjoying playing
101Some say it's a little bit. recess talking with we talked with the students about options additional and we are promoting positive relationships between students and administrators, because if we remove them the phone can see again the administrator at the end of the day and here There are some children playing ping pong put Sorry then, who would think that The children would love to play Jenga in The students ordered from the cafeteria a ping pong table and we bought one new to use at first I thought that the children were going to hand over their cell phones for this receives the utensils for playing but now we are working on the system of We have not had honor problems what the cart sees under the pet of Broomfield are games that our the librarian has found
102last for During the buts We are currently looking for available places. quieter so that the students I'd like to study now. allow my colleague Carl and Carol presents Good nights president rasp members of the advice and Dr. Anderson. Thank you for allow me to talk about the many celebrations and connections that I have seen AF flourished during the last two months ago I bought a lot of chocolate and I stopped at the cafeteria that said answer those questions to I had notes that said that chocolate They need us who can The students came and provided They asked for many things, but three things in particular. important ones arose, they were needed They needed support and action, trust And they wanted to play together, so I made a list of needs and I shared it with
103Dr. Anderson and he gave us his support I was able to share very quickly intentionally and prepare my school, my staff, my community and my students this we had This is a center with this Ho of the air foosball, a small foosball table, and other games and movies that slide It's a representation of of work the students are creating are slides the most important thing to that change is allowing the students are part of it and guide it For example, it's a student center designed by the student council and it was designed with their collaboration and I'm checking with participation They want to know how we're doing. Here's information from a survey I conducted to see the temperature the children the students They wanted to present themselves, they didn't want that We guided him, they
104declared that they wanted reminder Initially, to have the opportunity to foster new habits then they said if they had games movies other activities interactive were able to do the We are giving you a grace period for the transition We will implement the policy through of agreements in stage one still Phones are not allowed, but... We're going to remove the phones until end of January so they can form new habits and introduce yourself on tape We're going to remove the phone for one That day will increase your stamina around habits I know they are doing that in other high schools the way that makes the most sense in your community We are celebrating the week 8th of politics we have this retired less than 20 phones per day 1545 students less than 20 phones per day
105what I have what has been seen is an increase in play enjoyment and I've seen new connections Friendships are sometimes so noisy in the cafeteria and student center that does not I can think I've I've forgotten what free play sounds like. To see the impact, I knew that I needed the words of education So I sent a survey to the teachers to collect data quantitative and qualitative collaboration in the Slide nine there are two questions that I made the teachers one is about the focus on the instructional environment and also in the community. Then the Teachers have noticed an impact substantial in the environment We still don't know about the school. I achieve because they want a term but The initial data show a opinion That's positive, it shows that that's the I'll do the
106right job, even if it's hard. allow Ginger to talk a lot Thank you as high school principals Those are the topics we are discussing We are working towards the goal. with This is an exact treatment at each site based on culture and needs of each community as directors We're trying to have a rain of ideas for solving problems in a way collaborative and we will guide the work with staff, students and families we are going to determine the way or the a more effective balance between support for the students and execution execution of the policy during the time of implementation politics creates a need for supervision and reinforcement we have developed a private key for students who use their phones with adaptations and in the future we are thinking about the next steps and determine
107the most effective balance between student support and the policy implementation and with We'd be happy to answer that. their Questions. Thank you for the presentation. Let's start with the line then Kitty and then Beth First I want Thank you for doing all that work. It's difficult, it's a big job, important. I know it requires a lot of change habit of a single young man then I'm super impressed and thank you also for including the challenges I know that we are going to We'll overcome this, we'll move forward, and I... It's great that you can work in set as directors, but this one pleased me listen that they need more spaces silent because people are really I love talking to each other. Thank you very much, that's the first thing I want I would have liked
108to have cell phones to remove during high school and we would have had those things awesome things to do during the lunch but I want to echo the Lania's thanks mean a lot to me It's good to see that things are also going well in a very early moment in the process We have given or seen two examples of different ways of doing things and have a good result So I thought I was going to It's very difficult, but I'm glad that I I was wrong, it pleased me greatly, and although I don't think it had an impact on academics. in the future the benefit will do so This is immediately demonstrated by the students who are already socializing with The other is communicating face-to-face and use current words instead of acronyms and yes, it's
109a good day to be An eagle, I'm going to say more of the same. Thank you so much for everything you've done It has been difficult, I want to acknowledge them. the two and the other leaders in the buildings for their leadership sensitivity for such a large implementation and I'm curious, there's a lot to celebrate. I believe they are on the right side of The story with all those things. Which ones? other student populations that They have a harder time with that change. my personal experience of the students This one with plans 504 with needs special ones have more diades there is one population that has more difficulty AND how them Well, I can say, generally first. Before we spoke, Carlen, we had conversations with the preparatory stage of planning and also with the implementation
110What type What kind of support do they need? challenges that they are watching every day and their ask a challenge interesting thing they are supporting There are students who They had the habit of listening to his music on cell phones, students who can finding that beneficial because anxiety or stress at school then help them to knowing how to function within the politics but also to support their needs Yeah OK Alex, I want to repeat what they said. Besides, that's very gratifying. Listen and thank you for your work. It gives me It's nice to see the students who are finding the opportunity that is there I'm super excited to continue learn how they are doing during the year and I am supporting your efforts to gather more information so that we can continue changing the question
111I have for the At the high school level there is something that what can we do at the district level? It would be additional support that doesn't cost anything. A lot, but there's something else they need. which would help them to be more successful in the next two months I don't think we've been very supportive when the students approached I shared with the parents and the staff That with the district, and I think it was something fluid and I think it's the time we're in working with time and created this mine around the change and soon This This is going to be normal again. It's difficult now, but with time I think that the space to talk the opportunity to continue working together the support has been tremendous. And that's a question for Robin, I
112remember talking to the new girl director of Southern Hills who made the transition of of in to force it in a mixed way to really in I'm forcing it at a secondary school level asking There is also fidelity to that. New policy in secondary schools Yes Thank you for that. We believed that Saved for the day is the best way to address it for our students especially of way to develop the students of secondary and there has been a continuum I work on focusing that belief we have continued to work high school level with more conversations with colleagues at the level Primary and level secondary school we've been talking about consistent way how would this work for They support each other in the way they that the school principals high schools support each other collaborators
113and solve problems together and also how to do it wouldn't say fun but attractive and that students understand the Why is Thanks for that question, Jason. And then Jorge, if I really don't have it. Much more to add is the report that and listen again after 6 months or a year But to have that report two months later It truly is a testament to work What are they doing when they read that this They are doing this in other places in country and the challenges that are confronting them and that they are being punished and they don't trust the students I really appreciate your comments and It really validates the way we have Having addressed this, only the following have been removed I have 20 phones out of 100 students. I am very grateful to
114you for the district and I feel proud and grateful to be part of the district that addresses this topic in this way and that Bring out ping pong tables or Jenga Yes, thanks also to Dr. Andersen for his leadership and his part in And yes, thank you very much for everything. that have Done. Thank you, this is very promising. I also want to say that I appreciate your focus on cultural change around cell phones and not like punishment and we are looking at a decrease in our practices of punishment in general these two tendencies They seem to me Incredible, now my question is not Actually about cell phones, but... Ah, so point number two I want this culture of belonging Listen a little more about that. mental health involvement of community students What are your
115ideas on this, thanks for those. This question is very exciting for me. create the a with the students sit down talk to them, ask them what they are doing is what we explain, and it's not just me in the hallways are the rest of the teachers We have worked very hard on school safety. close with the School safety to build relationships positive and not that they don't see them as People who punish, that's a model in Bromfield, we don't want to fight with the students have a good conversation Even though we disagree, we're going to to follow the policy and we will not be disrespectful when the students They see this, they are willing to come and work hand in hand with We also appreciate the intentionality around doing this phased policy and focus on
116the trust in students that they make the right decisions we look at the student moment the honor roll that we students have incredible here in the Bolder Valley and When we trust that they will take the better decisions for them and for their The community does it and I just wanted I'm curious to celebrate that, I know that the high schools have money to to be able to play with this in high school have spent on this type of advantages, for example, the tables I don't know all the high schools in the game have taken advantage of this Very good opportunity, very good question. I don't know. exactly who has spent on what but Yes, there have been many conversations. between the directors and what are listening to their students and putting pay attention to
117what is working with students in their communities in What we love about their schools is... Bolder Valley is that each community is a little different and be able to answer those needs versus desires and knowing what it is what will work for our students in our communities who They are very different, it's very important we've had many conversations about Do you have coloring books? puzzle you have markers you have Jenga, you're going to buy a giant Jenga set. Are you going to buy a ping pong table? So how do we spend this budget that We have right now, I don't know if all the Schools have spent all the money they had within its budget of what was assigned to this Dr. Andon, I know you raised your hand First of all, I can't thank
118you enough. enough for our administrators the school 2 years as director of preparatory deacon 3 years assistant principal of high school for 8 years as Director, I know that attitude and effort of all those administrators and the teachers teachers if the teachers don't They were all doing a good job This would collapse We have to recognize that teachers are playing a big part in So I want to celebrate the High school principals are We are so lucky! have them and all the administrators AND teachers, the second thing I want to point out is members of the Council this I believe this result is evidence of a process we use that has This idea worked; it was an idea that turned out and we prioritized the idea and talked about the idea and the idea proposed
119a policy set implementation expectations and They gave the staff the space to implement it in such a way that it had meaning and we look at success then I think that sometimes people don't understand How the tips work educational and how they are implemented in reality implemented in schools That was something very difficult to do but I think it highlights that the process that We have and we have committed as a team of governance works incredibly well And I want to thank this council by honoring the process, follow the process and give the staff and their superintendent the space for this work on a timeline that I want to ensure that we are successful. give thanks for that members of the Council or some other Thank you for submitting this question. our night new article
120or point of the Council are Annexes g j o e1 J E2 records student groups will be presenting Good evening members of this afternoon That's a tip, that's an update that You're coming because we're not Preparing for the year's registration that's coming and we want to make sure that we agreed clear when we look at the act of educational rights in the family there is two opportunities to exclude yourself from a directory Informative. This is something you can see. in a yearbook an Athletic event of a student who is participating and another Exclusion comes from students of secondary when we look at sharing information with the recruiters of the forces armed forces that are also required by law share information with universities and employers the two annexes that will See now are the new ways
121that we will be using it for the new cycle registration forms that will be for the Next year we have from pre-kindergarten onwards through eighth grade. That's the first one. version and the second version is the high school and at the preparatory level We have the information for employers universities and armed forces I wonder why this was possible In the past, if a parent could be excluded I know about photographs but not the directory that there was an option where we're not going to take the photograph of your child and use it in our website but I can't see it If that's true, we really had that this clarifies this in our student population the way that those work exclusions we cannot This being as precise as before this exclusion from the Board will exclude
122from contacts and social networks As explained in the appendix, that... worries a little because if a father is like me and understand with my background in sexual abuse such as online images They can be used for various purposes malignant. And if they can be excluded They have to exclude themselves from everything in order to protect their children then I also have another one You asked, and you were saying that the law requires that we share information with the forces armed forces How do we maintain or rather stop the armed forces, the employers of contact the students should always be intermediary the school the contact of the universities to whom What we mean is that the Bolder Valley share that information with the universities or employers No It will necessarily stop the newsletters that will arrive
123at your home. They have not had students at the level These university students are going to realize this but this limits the ability of district share the information that we have with those groups, but by law you have to share with the armed forces, yes, the law requires that we share information with the forces armed at least that a family I want to exclude. Ah, okay. I understand. because I kept thinking about how we exclude or stop the forces Armed forces, contact our students if the armed forces They come to us and ask for a list of The students. So this tells us It prevents sharing that information with the forces Yes, I would like to have that conversation with the armed forces. Ah, council member, sergeant, and for to be able to ensure that
124the fidelity of those exclusions continue depending on what we have to make sure to have more conversation about this topic under me understanding was the directory that is shared on infin campus is a yes or a No Jorge, I have students in the district, I'm embarrassed to ask this. then the birth dates are available in the directory and who He has access to this, I think that's something that I should know the date of birth is included in the directory information definition You typically see this when you're talking about an athlete or age, you look at it in that context And that's for any context correct student from Pre-kindergarten, if that's the policy of Jo's political council and g j o r's political council which addresses student records in those I honestly wanted to include
125these appendices policies j and jor r on the red line but in those annexes but with the time limitations We could only this provide This, this, by Now I have one ask why one has to choose or exclude Each Students can opt out of this year health assessments or can someone exclude opt to exclude themselves for the remainder of their time at school in schools They also have to print it hand it in to the school or I know that it's not very convenient, there is an opportunity to fill this exclusion in a electronics with little We are working on the paperwork. exclusion The next plan would be to include it in the digital version. This is on the Infinite Campus portal and Filled there, but like many things, this... It's a long-term project, it's
126going to Taking time is an improvement on where we have been before these forms They reflect the current law we had one variety of forms that were used for this purpose and we are trying to remove all these forms with the action of this policy of those Annexes Yes, for Jorge's point I think I've never looked at the date. birth in the I appreciate the clarity of the directories. Although right now it's in the format of pencil and role of Council members or some other question for kl from now until they return to We, then, for clarity President Rusp with a typically attached annex The information is shown to the council But based on the discussion, if the council wants to see it again with the politics can be seen from New. I don't think
127we need to see it. You can remove that one from your list again. seeing that there are no more questions or Comments Let's continue with Our last piece of information is the legislative update doctor le I give the time. Thank you, President RP Council members is all about the budget everything about money I'm going to to say that there are many conversations that These things are happening at the Capitol. I believe the March income revenue forecast for the month of March is coming the week that The budget is coming, it's going to be finalized If they had a conversation yesterday, are they considering other options besides 1448 implemented as the proposal is from the governor and the finance formula with the new 35 million for rural communities are with considering other options and opportunities I
128did share that we we wouldn't have changed the opposition of 1448 if it hadn't been for the language provocative saying that the money The funds were there, and no it She said that some things happened. 350 things that were not anticipated millions of dollars were approved in an initiative goes to the police and Mikir's funds, those things, no They were anticipated, I shared with you that I doubted that a model would last more than a year And given the challenges, try to project More than 6 years of progress is difficult and that We continue observing what it is that is being proposed and that we have an opportunity to give our opinion and that ca casb are still under the impression of who said there would be 1448 with all funds forward Do it and
129make a budget for that I think there will be more conversation about what There's what's happening, but not yet It looks very Of course, and there are problems with what's happening In the legislature right now I'm going to continue supporting me involved going to the table providing comments and representing our students and our community and if Someone tries to talk to them about I tell them to go to the bills work in the Yes, there are some bills in the budget. that are coming towards us everything that comes with a tax receipt is an immediate no because the budget is what our approach should be Council members, I do want to tell you that I had the opportunity to go to a National conference of I was there last week and I was honored to
130be able to present with ers and the Council on optimizing small schools and strategies and tactics that we have addressed when we are addressing a decrease in enrollment and Unfortunately, everything was very depressing. It's depressing, there's uncertainty about what's going on. stories happening in the community that I've heard about the reaction of the subsidies that have been removed the changes to the system and other things that really... worry and the lack of Federal Administration to take action and it's all about money funds eliminating subsidies I know of a It was understood that he gave a grant of 75 millions of dollars and the week afterwards something was said in the council There is a lot of fear at the school level. national, although I think there is a lot much agreement around the idea of
131what do you have that everything goes down the drain courts I think 75 lawsuits I'm going to aa, which is part of the current ones system Suburban areas at the county level are more or at least 25 to 30 school districts that They are committed to supporting equality in the students. And yes, we received a lot. very good federal updates and we are learning from what is happening in The country is an excellent group, I am Proud to be part of He did want to share that with, with, with them and telling them what is going to to happen when they are playing the funds the schools title one title two what's going to happen with the law of I think there's a lot of concern about this idea what is happening around the country
132I think people have to Take a breath, breathe, and well, yes, that's it. what is happening at the state level and federal Budget things. I know that's not true. That's beautiful, that's ours fight right now if we oppose a project of law no the That's the other one, the one that requires the FAFSA. It had a tax receipt. Yes, we took it. opposition to that bill and Rising has contacted us They have questions about whether we are... willing to support those projects law that They are related to this and it's a little difficult because they have tax receipts or income decreases because they are decreasing marijuana sales medical marijuana products and They are selling the children then the senate project 86 projects that users of the social networks and the project of the house 12287
133tools for miners and parents 86 It has a zero tax rating. and 287 has as 150,000 dollars on a tax receipt and also Bill 76 that is being taken by members of the delegation and the kindergarten advocates eighth grade create a consistency of name the products that are being used there are fears that when When these products reach the market they will be available on the market for high levels of THC and they are promoting it to the people under 25 years of age and People under 25 are the larger consumers of those I think it's going to be difficult for products. members of the legislature say no that given the drop of 1.2 trillion dollars and we are opposing of marijuana which would be easier to that young people have access to those products
134This point has a negative note prosecutor who would help us in the budget So I wanted to introduce these to you. our friends at Blue Rising just because fall under the legislative bucket of Student safety, but it's an area gray where the tax notes and we have state taking This is something we have been firm about. I want to hear what yours are. thought about this if I have a question about 1209 around the regulations of Marana sea have a rational is for increase income or is that a consequence It's pleasant, yes, it's a coincidence. because it is This reduces regulations around Do you know the reason for that? essential to reduce Regulations can indeed sell more products Alex, given Dr. Andreen's leadership in the group of responsible work I look at the tax receipt
135for the educational institution. bill 1278 we are taking a position the bill 1278 I know that we have said that we will support the bill of responsibility as a priority especially in that council as I have served and have served [Music] in that working group in a Comment on the Fiscal Notes and the comments that I made about things that people are creating as New ideas that are costing more Money are things that we have said we have I don't think our priorities around the responsibility the idea that we have stood firm in to protect our students our children in the community of products with high THC content and advocate for more regulations, not less. regulations And if we are reducing the number of high-power products I want this for toddlers To clarify my comments,
136what I was sharing, it was basically what that people are saying, "Hey." I have this new idea, it costs you money There we say that there are no values that carry a long time representing the District We continue to support. Thank you for that. ask me I apologize for the way I responded to that. which said no new money no that's not it which said Lenea, I think we have to use the common sense in Social media, that's my Yes, I agree with your contribution. This cannot be defended, we will not do this to say no in general but we have to defend our decisions and in the past we have advocated and we have done a effort to prevent this opposing our positions and we are aware that the budget is very reduced. And
137if you agree, let's go. to continue with these projects some other law that have are considering Melania, you actively told us We opposed dei Correct, a question if the government closes in three days Federal Government has an impact with we or we are Okay, well, I'd have to answer later. with I think we're good, that would be my answer to the degree that well could have any impact on uh the school food program and other resources but we'll keep it I want to inform the Council members. I would add that for some of these draft laws are already coming in, are in the schedule for this Friday if someone wants You can also contact the people who are in charge or get involved in other ways very well it seems we have it all Due

Alex, if I repeat what we've said, he has very good connection with education early retirement and also retirement Jonathan's administrative things I I want to personally thank you for so many years of service and his incredible attention to detail and to the community because there's no one who's been to the US behind the data analysis and use of data that Jonathan and I wish him the best in his retirement members of the Council I I wanted to mention the 99.6 eh approval of new course names because there are some inconsistencies in the vocabulary related to policies There are
140only a few classes that are they can consider with greater weight and for certification and at the secondary level and Two music classes are on the list which are considered to carry more weight Having a new title doesn't mean that It's a new course and that doesn't coincide with the respective policies when updated the policy retroactive to others courses uh with more weight The language doesn't seem as clear to me as I would like that were when we change a name or the policy writing is not that We're changing policies, but I I wanted to draw their attention to This is why we don't just fix the good words Yes, if it were a simple edition I would propose But well, that's not the case, they can There were some minor changes but we have
141to analyze it Yes, we can update that file. attached to make it consistent with the council policy and see that [Music] Please ensure the attached file is consistent. with the minutes I have one yes question Kiri, which refers to... I got married, what did I lose because I don't see. reference to what good doesn't talk about the policy But we have A good policy is that if you know The policies are very good, but this bothers me. It represented like a red flag. Well. Okay, but I have one. ask Regarding cybersecurity, he says district has been accepted within the Pilot tests. But what does that refer to? Yes, Dr. de la Cruz replies that He should know that he will get more information from about this Well, I don't know if there are more because

This is a question for Kathlyn because I didn't write it down in the email that I sent it but there's a typo and what the superintendent says he designated and good is I understand in the Another part of the policy says how minimum 5 days and what happens if there is a concern reported after 5 days And that the video has been deleted is not unusual when a student expects too much when reporting something about everything if it happened to him The policy says that the minimum is keeps the video for 5 days but keep the video in the servers are very expensive to have. We have to have a a deadline that isn't so
144difficult for us expensive and we need to have it available in the images that we are going to need and what if there is Uh, the school principal can Mark and save the video you need But we have to set a limit. By then it's something that we can I'm going to tell the parents and a good student, that means if the council adopts this policy Well, I imagine the student comes to home and says last week This me The student claims this is not true. It's not serious, but The parents are concerned Yes, well, thank you for bringing this to collaboration members be Once this policy is approved We must inform families about this limit of time members of the Council some other discussion about the I see that there are no policies. none
145could pass the motion members of the Council the following issue The first topic of study is facilities management and buildings when we talk about the chapter of our facilities in our Last meeting We saw a policy that We were going to recommend this to the council policy We're bringing it again and they are Seeing incorporates two policies that are Seeing you for the first time today and What we want to see is that it becomes a policy cohesive and that requires a and that perhaps certain things will no longer be required facilities is a A shorter version is something we have hosted learned from talking with advice The exterior is often a process ordinary when selling a building public no It is a transaction of goods roots But this really modernizes the policy and aligns
146with the market This would currently be the third policy this chapter that would remain and would replace several others that we are trying to eliminate l Lenia noticed in the sales section that We're bringing out all the vocabulary about rental lease, can you tell me more? about Okay, I moved the line over lease to the first paragraph the paragraph of introduction where the last sentence says that the Education Council can rent that facility when We were talking about authority in general of purchase, sale and lease Well, it could be the landlord or the tenant that put in the introduction Ah, very good, I'll make that change. Thank you for the clarification. I have a question about one more matter I'm thinking practically because someone said... foreign council in the section of The council reserves the
147right to decide. right to analyze any offer and thanks for including There is nothing that would prevent us from we well that we simply let's say No without presenting evidence or evidence or anything that we could have included in this in the wording at the beginning of this policy we talked about decisions the Council's decisions must be based on the needs and in the best interest of district and we can certainly use the same The same words there, the important thing is in This policy is the ability of Council that reserves its rights As the regulatory body for resources public so that the council can make the decisions that Bueno needs to make I'm not advocating for more words. I just want to make sure that legally there is no reason No, we don't have
148to. Oh, worrying, well, or when the case arises of buying or sell one property but I can gladly we can Leave the language as it is Yes Lenia, well, I have trouble understanding. What is the second one trying to say? The second sentence of the paragraph is very confusing. The way it's written. Or maybe is It's just me. uh, the red and the green, well, it's Well, I realize that If you can't understand it, that's a This is a problem now that I'm reading it I understand why it's not clear and it may To be more efficient, it must be shorter and It needs to be clearer. And this is true in any policy. that the The council has the right to modify any policy if it sees that it is The right to waive
149is necessary. Yes, it is. which has a clause Open Yes, yes, I can improve this Council members or any other question about this Thanks for combining several policies in I want to make it clearer and better Point out something else that might be good For exciting, there's a new paragraph which delegates to tending or designated the ability of usufruct of some lands you already No He's signing that kind of good property And that us leaves Some employees already have free time that next year every dollar will go to And if there is no one left, tell. Let's look at the next question. policy of this night since we are accelerating our We have identified that we work in policy some problems this was given priority from my staff with the law record transparency of records
150and We have some regulations in the attachments and as you might expect this It was reviewed in 2016 and required a lot work beyond talking about the This council process has been underway new new paths in terms of the transparency and I tried to capture that in This policy we talk about information from School District What information are we getting putting on the table and which is my intention to capture the philosophy of this council and add This language we have The language regarding the law has been clarified. public records and also clarifying we incorporate language eh language about Colorado law 2017 on record requirements publics and the challenges of this law may can be very expensive and can consume a lot time to access this policy Yeah Alex, I have two questions on the
151page two that the open records law that it is put in writing And this happens most of the time It would be something reasonable for people who can command emails they should use our website we cannot use our own email because That sends them in a line and we can't process in a efficient. And this is to facilitate the access for people who do not use email electronics, and my second question is not to require the information verbally I don't know if this is a policy either But it is in our own interest respond to the media when they have questions and when they have a question in a real way because We're going to restrict it because simply we are tying ourselves to hands and we won't be able to say our Our own
152history. Why are we going to eliminate That is, if this is within what we I'm interested in sharing, yes certainly it is our practice and I see that Randy Barber is in the room and maybe he I wanted to talk about this if we work in our relationships with our con Our audience, including the media Randy has very good communication skills. relationships with these companies and the request the information verbally well There Too many questions, including within of the open registries law and We might require another language, but that the purpose of this law is to clarify what That's what our staff can do. Answer: Where is that? [Music] Alex at the top of the page 4 the line red Well, what I understand is being on the other side trying to get information and
153asking the district officials, it's if we put a formal request and see if that It's appropriate. It's simply a burden. unnecessary in transparency for I am in favor of our community provide information to the media communication and that everything becomes An official request is too much. official Because if the district knows that It's appropriate that you know this information the public because it is It's really discouraging. Too much. I don't think we have to. to make us more official at the time of communicate with the community seems like something unnecessary one thing that I The question I was asking is precisely because of the carrying record of violations of this law if it is an official request What is the trigger for these 14 days if This has not been documented appropriately what I am
154hearing If someone asks a question that is very Easy to answer. But if I am asking for a lot of information. That's the I'm having doubts about the part, but for the The media is different And maybe this isn't within this and I see that Dr. Anderson has his hand lifted and Randy Barber also good There is a need for us to see this in a policy the relations with the The media is a big part from my work and also from Randy Y We have a very good relationship, Randy is Excellent at communicating with the media and he responds efficiently And very quickly he has, uh, we We know who is asking and what about. the way we are responding we are handling This is incredibly good. These are parts of the tasks of
155superintendent part of the tasks of the communications department and what I The aim is to be able Saying no means we have to say no We have to tell him we don't want to do it things are difficult for They are the fluidity of how We navigate through the media of Randy speaks with the communication team. channels television with media nationals like District we are capable to process and share these things appropriate way and make the I don't know if the media will participate. Randy, if you'd like to add anything, but From my perspective, we always try to be honest and accessible And what if we're not able to do it? Well, I don't think so. We never put ourselves in a... place with We're not trying to get them to do a application official,
156but I'm going to let Randy I completely agree and We are aligned with your point of view. ultimately seen uh the official request We need to give an answer. substantial just like all the questions we received about What kind of information is there? hanging but at its point 99% of the information they gave was They operate outside the courts Lenia then Kiri then Alex wasn't sure now that Alex I was talking about this, I have to I admit it, no, I don't admit it, I didn't see the part red this could be someone else than the media outlets asking information and if we are bordering on people who have an application Official: Well, I don't know if what I mean is... Alex meant he wanted to make sure that when I heard the middle part
157of communication But if they are a father wants to know How many children enter pck to pi of the waiting list something to We give them the information randomly because Sometimes I see that in the request yes sometimes These are like things Yes, but we always try to be transparent and avoid this type of You ask me things all the time time No, I can't remember a time when I said I can't answer them until fill out the official application but if We want them to follow a system as well. formal. We are simply clarifying. a politics we want to be respond We want to be kind to people but for the point of Randy, if this is a problem and we have a very information request So that's going to require a lot. time
158and we need an official request but When we try to help a parent with That's a problem. We do, but sometimes only our people have We are so curious transparent the districts of the more transparent school districts that you can find and always We try to maintain transparency. The vision for this policy is not going to change This doesn't belong in against the way we do this and the way in which We share the information with the parents of family and people can make a application under the records law open And we continue with the process then Aside from that, nothing will change, and which one? That's the point, if it's there, if it's not going to be change Well, things are put there because different these tips different superintendents different times I don't know
159why within the districts It was there in the first place, but yes, it We reviewed it in 2016 and haven't touched it since. that I arrived, I think it is important to be responsible for responding to the answer community questions and increase that trust with people He answers the questions and we talk about the issues and topics, and that's the way in that I have operated since I have been Superintendent then, hopefully that's it It clarifies the questions you have. They have. No, well, the thing is that I It worries one. It creates an expectation that the People can simply request this. the information and if they don't receive it they have violated the Council's policy. How is that handled? Who asked? What then? And when is there a chain of mandate no. And if
160one receives the Information is uploaded to the next person and we can monitor this the applications under the Cora law And we can talk about that in the meetings It's the best way to understand the This process can be verbal or by mail electronic under the cora law there is this checks and balances that we can we can continue and try this concerns if they don't receive what they need and can This also raises a public complaint Well, I want to support the paragraphs just like this. It is written, it is an articulation of what That's why I'm saying what you just said. asking why we are removing it repealing because it is somehow exposing ourselves to a challenge that otherwise We wouldn't have had it. So I'm at Please answer the questions in the
161community and we are following the chain of command. So I don't know why. what is being repealed and the hatred that would imply that Those are things we wouldn't do. I am in favor of repealing it. Because if you look at the first two vine It is said that the practices are to honor the individual request as soon as possible possible and have that. This you the The public has access to sources of information, then, is important that they make their own research So we are willing to provide the information based on the exempt type of information if in a way that is possible do it in a way that is appropriate to time I feel for myself the paragraph It doesn't add value because we've already talked about it. of the intention of the
162practice in the Kitty hadn't in the first paragraphs I looked at it because I don't like to read this. I'll change the clean version then. But all that seems redundant to me. How to pass a law that says We await That everyone obeys the law is redundant It already is is Unnecessary, we want to make this more... economical with words is Unnecessary, and I can see if it's possible. that came about because something happened If there's a problem, then I... I understand why the council would adopt that policy, and we have that policy of to take this from treating each other well and That arose from a conflict, but not It seems necessary as a policy one standard by history When I worked for the children's campaign in Colorado We wanted to have accurate measurements
163of the high school graduation rates and we wanted to know when it was changed the 4-year graduation rates and the district He wanted to publish it as a percentage of the second grade children who graduated and the The district wasn't very transparent about those things. requests. So I don't think it's something bad reinforce good I'm not sure what "practices" is. I think it's redundant. reference to an east policy that I want you to continue with the district me It's exciting that it does happen that way. Let's say one is a director and one Father asks, "Is it good to say something?" that the director can answer So I think that question is important to give power to The professionals within the organization so they can use their professional responsibility and we have that be respectful
164in terms of sharing information and answer the questions of a way efficient and on time Kiri then the line I have a question Alex, if he had read the clean version you would feel that something was missing People may not be able to. Asking a question hasn't been read. It's a That question is not very difficult to answer. That's what I I would feel complete without that. paragraph and if so, why add all those words extras then Alex, can I ask Kathleen? you perceives that the verbal request that is repealed as redundant when one when one reads the first I want a more perspective, partly Legal. Excuse me for asking. This language is directly I find it confusing and worrying. through the general use of member of Personally, I believe there are levels. different in
165sophistication and understanding of and context and answers and I feel concerned about language because of this Yes, I do believe that the language of policy reflects the importance of what that the member is trying Metler 100% has not communicated to anyone in the staff who do not respond is the way to do the That's why I love being here with my current colleagues, but I do have concerns that this language such as it is written and presented puts our members of personal to have conversations or requests that are not their responsibility respond to establish another level of duty with language as it is written and as it is written before the changes to answer The question from member sergeant, I do. I think there's something missing and I'm I admit that it is there, it
166is about degrees, I don't think that facilitating the dialogue and discussion with people from district is something that the parents as a member of the Council when the Frustrated parents come to me for tell me your story or send me a email with a concern often involves a lack of information and a lack of answer, and that's why I'm advocating that We need this sheet of questions and answers about how they are made research or about discipline so that parents can receive important answers about their children if I have to go somewhere internet and make a formal request That's one more thing then, what I'm looking for nothing inside the policy is intended to avoid that district staff be responsive then I would feel much better about losing That paragraph, Dr. Anderson, I appreciate what
167you're saying. Alex, if he's in or if we're not going to... we are going to respond, we are going to operate the same So, I think Alex... We'd have problems if we weren't. I understand that. to the extent that it creates confusion I have not had a person in my 7 years here that has cited the policy kdb nor have I taken any action against any employee because of a violation of this policy So we lead with this vision team, that's what we're going to do if they want to keep it good, if they want Get it right. If that's who we're going to... Let's do this while I continue being the superintendent other comments members of We advise Kath, she has confidence in what you have to do Yes Alex Si I can do
168what I want with the final version that we received can still override that verbal paragraph but have a general statement about being responsive as appropriate and I support That's what I heard that, that's what I observed. indication seeing that there is no more comments or questions about this KDB's politics is that exciting if one knows the soup of alphabet the last topic is requests future agenda for members of The advice is the moment we can add things to add to the list [Music] prioritization came previously I want us to notice this, we take in account for the grading policies those long versions that begin with IKC, my concerns about those Policies are how we occupy these in our work and also a policy that was lost in the prioritizing the requirements of the I'm going
169to give you the number We haven't reviewed those in a long time. I would like to know they missed out on the time I would like to add them back to the list Council members something There are no more, the meeting is closed tonight. Forgiveness. Sorry, executive session But I'm going to close this part of the meeting while we log in executive we need the motion and the There is one vote motion I don't have the statement I have no written motion written raised her hand Quickly make a motion according to crs 26-42 4b to enter executive session to receive this legal advice specific about the renewal of charter schools and the process of hiring and according to crs 2462 402 and for positions regarding issues that are subject to negotiation develop strategies for negotiation
