First, the definition of devices

016personal technology professionals such as PTD known to include hearing aids or this to computers and I want to amend it for that does not include headphones or other personal computers. Because those are objects that we use for purposes educational and students use them I also liked many classes addressing the fact that the hours rest periods and lunches also restrictions on the use of personal technology devices and this It would only apply to students when they are in the campus and there are also some others Factors of Why Students They can use personal devices as part of simply being in them and being distracted, and I think those should be Take into account. Oh, I don't know how we can. I do that, but I think he must owe something. so that they can communicate with

017the families with work personally I work and if they asked me what they needed I'd like to know that before I work. that the school day ends Ah because maybe it's something I have to to tell my parents or my coaches and I give my time to this questions Thank you very much for the advice Typically does not respond or asks questions where the public comment So if If you want to use the rest of your time You can do it, but if you're done, that's it.

018our school is incredible and I also want to talk about this. I think this policy is a great problem and great distraction but I I have a couple of concerns based in personal action because there are so many people who want to be in their Unfortunately, I worry about phones. that many people are going to leave Campus to be on your phones and I think that will actually decrease our personal interaction because not There will be no one left on campus And I also think they can create relations anti bad relations with our teachers And also if they are having a I think a bad day creates situations that They're not really hostile, they're not good. And I want to share one of the best experiences I have with a teacher who is very strict

019My third year of high school in the class of She has a tree to hang from. their phones and at the beginning of the year she It gives you a number, and that's your number. You have to leave your phone hanging up up there in the tree, and that worked really well. because it is not only the responsibility of the teachers this go and pick up the phones but the students know That's what those expectations are, and they're not going to... create tension between the teachers and the students and Unfortunately, many of us We are very protective around those personal belongings. And that can lead to conversations This is a little strange or hostile and I also have some Oh, I don't know if you can give us examples of how it will be implemented

020I don't know if discussions are allowed. This question about what would be the best way to I don't know how you're going to implement this. They can be clearer about that. Many Thank you and good night. The next speaker tonight is Elizabeth. Good evening. My name is My student is Emerson and he goes to the primary of the Netherlands previously We had lived in Lille.

021it has created a love in Emerson for the school, but in kindergarten this changed The classes have completely changed The teachers have changed, they were hired This strangely happened to a teacher. He resigned and then returned after 36 hours there is a lack of Communication doesn't seem to exist. There is stress and uncertainty in a plan, and it has Some parents have already lost faith taken their children out of school and others are thinking of selling their houses and Those of us who stay are leaving. asking what is happening Why this plan for the second The teacher wasn't offered to us because we didn't They reported this lack of The decision cannot continue because It is affecting the Netherlands' primary education system.

030kh, the following speakers er Chapman Good evening everyone. I am Mr. Chapman. I am Chapman and Emily's mother Chapman who are also in Centaurus and not I can believe that I am here advocating for the use of cell phones those who know me conversation in our home all the time is to save it save it save it but This policy that we are launching... I think it's more about punishment than We adults need to help. to create this situation by not having a policy of entablature that was firmer or stronger. I believe that the use of cell phones, eh, during lunch or in a Free time is an important part of their own growth and their own need to be able to manage their world It's just a little bit and I get deeply worried

031due to the stress and workload that will be throw in the faculty and the staff administrative I don't I understand what the timeline will be. What will the policy be? What steps are there? a There is this order: one, two, three, and no more. What can be done? It's difficult to support one. politics, if that's not very clear. And that's why. I say that if it's not going to be transparent and throughout the entire district and I believe that We are trying to grow this relationships between adults and children and that can really increase the perception of one way not necessary, as I say. I can't believe that I'm advocating for this, but I believe that I am advocating for a way Different way of doing things. Thank you. The next speaker is Virtual Rodrick

032Schuber Hello to I also participate with the high school students I've never found a finer group. I am also the Father, who is more excellent than all the Father. Proud of three children in the district Those who have already graduated, one is a engineer for Qualcomm the other one works in the emergency room as one doctor in Wyoming and the other works in the Denver metropolitan area and makes Marketing for Dinosaurs cinos as I am following that as Father, I can't imagine. I'm not the owner. from a cell phone, but I do use technology 24/7 hours a day, 7 days a week, and what What I'm asking is to see this policy who is proposing that it be stopped and form a committee or commission composed of student parents in the community teachers, staff, administrators

033for create this a less strict policy less I believe that the other parents who... They're talking. I I understand I don't want to be a doctor, but I think which is a point that we have to Listen to Carl Porter's science if not Something can be faked, it really isn't good science and if you are basing your decision of decisions in the text the generation anxious for Jonathan Those are observations based on the data and literature that support that idea So what I'm begging you to do is is to stop this very old policy and to establish a commission from all parties We're interested, let's design something for teach young people to be responsible Thanks to technology, thank you all. thank you for your service to our community hast loo Thank you next Speaker Jill

034Good evening, Walter. I'm Jill Walter. I have a child in fifth grade at the primary school and seventh grade in Southern Hills, I appreciate the opportunity to talk about the politics kh East This is my third and final year as the secretary for mass We need to increase our funds We placed a strong emphasis on the This fundraising participation is not easy and our fundraising campaign Our goal is to raise funds in the fall for mass 88,000, we set our goal for 8,000 But we're waiting for the 10th to arrive more from the company We are waiting for the donations that We welcome guests to our salons. class every penny goes to the per professionals to help with mathematics, reading and writing, and also students with neurodiversity we explain to our families that Korado does

035not have a direct financing for the students and we are explaining to the How important are families? We barely reached our goal. we are missing 2000 let's go to get creative with those 000 because We have to do it for education and for students of Their education depends on that, if... you They raise the financing by 10%. we're going to We are asking you to lose. They are considering all types of funding that enters schools We need to brainstorm about Of the different results, it is necessary to look at that in great detail before decide board members the speaker Tonight's final is Amanda Hello I am am I am the co-chairs parents and teachers in the Douglas Elementary and I'm here too to talk about kh politics as You are continuing to work on this

036We are politically begging that you fix exactly where that fee is going to go 10% how it's going to go crazy and how it's going to spend in the current year We definitely support the work important for the District in terms of equity But we have a question: is that the correct amount or if it is beyond the that they need because the schools of Title One receives the large locations financing extra from for the 2023 school year to 24 showed a table that is 5 years old of donations and expenses for this policy in two years that were demonstrated Donations exceeded expenses by 150%. by this The remaining amount was taken to the following year and never went down Beyond the 123,000 of our organization feels a fiduciary responsibility towards the school and the

037families that make donations to our company We used the funds during the year current to support students in Douglas 9 7% of our budget supports the professionals who the district cannot to pay for it and we use those hours to to cover basic needs, for example cover the lunch policy that H is dated in times that have changed shape significant from the first time that enrolled in 1983 we are asking that you Review the policy, we're waiting that you do accounting exact of the allocation so that the schools and parents have the transparency that many of us deserve. Thank you. That concludes our Public comment period For the benefit From the board, I thank everyone who They participated, although we started late this evening and who participated in Remote learning is really very important that

038the board understands the points of view of the points of view of the Thank you for taking the time, community. The next item on the agenda is the communication from the board members of the Who wants to start the line? Thank you to all the speakers tonight. And I want what I have many leaders of the organizations from parents and teachers and active parents me I would like to say to assure that he is talking to his people from the City Council about youth policy in the city ​​of bolder yes Do you understand, sir? Yes, this is the youth tax of the city ​​of bolder we recently had that approve $2.2 million of the tax I use it so that we can return it to the city And that wasn't a tax that They had

039to charge us There are no others municipalities that are charging us when we're looking at one amount of 2.2 million dollars and it We compare it to what we're talking about for our parent organizations and teachers is a large number and It would certainly be useful, as I believe. Rob is going to talk to us about the budget limitations for the next school year if anyone has interest in I would like to delve deeper into this topic. Give me more information, but I want to Thank you to the parents who are here. to talk about that because we have to dig everywhere to look for Where does our funding come from? our schools public board members others comments Alex, yes, I have several things to say. and I am very grateful to everyone. those who

040spoke in person and virtually and those they sent emails During the last We have several intense issues to address in the coming months. I am very grateful to the board then. for the hundreds of people who us They have sent an email and I thank the Centaurus community about his political opinions We've had several cell phones. discussions in recent months with the parent and teacher organizations about the financing of the community and I would like to talk about the kh the item 10 Then I was the one who lifted the I'm not going to recommend a 10% issue. change in 10% and I think we are according to what I've heard in the last few months and what I've heard Tonight I acknowledge that this of ours The state does not have good funding for

041public education So we have this in the middle of it all child funding states and the funding we received in Therefore, not every school is enough. I am in favor of increasing the contributions we receive from the parents this for all the Fuentes I I support the organizations that support These are the clubs' fundraising efforts. for sports and activities and I'm very excited to talk to the people of table about integration with the community food this committee of school responsibility and its parent-teacher organization And I recognize the value of having many families that contribute to the school and They need to have intelligent leaders in the schools who can manage those I agree with that, I don't. I'm trying to decrease the amount of the money it raises, but I am grateful to the people

042who spoke about I think transparency would be very important. powerful to have school funding per school to see funding of parents' organizations and teachers the clubs the contributions to have a balance in the title nine for all genres within schools for our ads to view experiences activities and everything that's happening That's why I'm here, so we can have one. discussion about to waive fees for activities And how much does it cost? My son loved it. participate in the band in Fairview and So when we look at the rent and the lessons I think we spent some 16,000 and many families don't have that ability to pay. So I think that It would be good to have more transparency. finance annually listening to the integration and the efforts in the SAC and the point and all

043the work that the line has done in title nine working with athletic directors and clubs and In these matters there is a good opportunity For collaboration, I believe that one school at the same time a classroom to the Once one can look at the systems This is those 2.7 million or whatever it is This is when we remove the 10% that goes to personal or other things we can say that a 5% and 4% for the other schools So when one does the math we are doing this 150 the 150th part of 1% which is due to redirect we have to have or we need to have a meaningful opportunity to I think all the students don't. must be contingent on the capacity to the parents to raise funds for each individual school That 10%

044is quite immaterial is quite small and we have 16 or 18 schools, counting the schools charter that more than 30% of children have who receive free lunch at cost low and we serve about 3,600 children So if we're talking about a a 1% fraction to supplement your Education is important to take into account Those kids, what I want to do is It's about knowing how we're going to support them fantastic efforts by Peter and Ga and the others who spoke to that they can continue to encourage and supporting the fundraising of fos Me I would love to have transparency. So we have all the funds in one a whole place for us all to grow funds that we are receiving I spoke with Alison Billings at Impact education She is another huge support for him.

045that we have she was very responsible and He responded positively about that. It's important that we do it more with the clubs with parents' organizations children's title associations nine and those who advocate for education It's important that we know how they are. fundraising, how are we going to I believe there is a way to contribute to the money. opportunity as a district that we can inform on that issue and support it so that I don't think it's a continued growth. Minor adjustment is not a tax, I'll say I consider it an obligation. support each of our children We need to increase transparency and then use the capacity or encourage the capacity for it to grow more so that have But I believe they spoke with the spirit of fairness in his heart It's important for

046me to think about the conversations I've had in the Last month then I plan to vote to protect the 10% and I'm going to plan protect the capacity of our Parents' organizations to remember those dollars and I really have a commitment to advance this agenda of equity throughout the district we are in seeking access for all children of any gender is the program Title Nine is designed to compensate the districts for the poverty this student and I reject So we have a budget of This 500 billion dollars And this we have, these high ones concentrations of children in poverty that They speak several languages And so I don't want a quid pro that We have that and we need We need to maintain that. financing differentiated and we need to have equity as a system

047I'm taking too much time but I strongly feel that the people who are promoting equality our schools and want to protect and supporting those students is our role As a district, we focus on... the entire eastern district, let's look at the level of the system and support all the good things intentions and support and advance the equity is not everything. equity does not mean that all children are These people standing in a box also need We need to do everything possible to to lift up the children who need more I can't see it, it has another comment this No thanks tonight Jorge, I would like to thank everyone. Tonight's speakers I believe that I often say I'm very impressed through the participation of parents and students in the district and the role that influences our

048decision-making we have those We want values, we want equality We want to support them all. That message for our children is very important. What's important is what our team does District, a great district, I thank those who are watching and who don't They feel comfortable talking about their fears. of coming to our District or the district administration that they are concerned about the changes Politicians who do not feel protected Those who have no voice I am listening to families through channels informal workers who have concerns that They are going to pick up the children walking to the schools that are going to focus on those families And for those who are watching, there's no need to to think of that community, the community that We have built, we need to think about provide these pathways

049for access and people with whom I think there are more people working. Looking now at the comments that We've done it, but we need to talk to the People, we need to think about what we can do. Let's do this because we have so much power together. and the students here, those who work as volunteers for the first time once they want to participate in the process democratic, they want to participate I believe everyone is involved in the change. We need that. So I meant to say that Thank you kitt I have several things to say Tonight, first I want to thank those who came to speak in particular I'm always very happy with the students excited to see the Students, who have the courage? You know the one Jorge mentioned? that many adults don't

050have to come to talk to us about what What are they doing? What are their opinions? I want to encourage that; I'm always interested. Listening to what parents think I want to acknowledge that November This month of Indigenous Heritage is not Something I've heard a lot in the press in the way one hears about the African American heritage we want recognize culture and history contributions of the indigenous people in the States United then This is talking about being this judge in the choices of being a volunteer really It's not voluntary because you pay for it yourself. I have done, I encourage anyone person who has time to contact the office of secretary registrar to see what can do to work in the You learn a lot about elections. I lost what I was going to

051say and It can also help change myths that has been raised regarding the Frauds if one works in an election one understands that it is almost impossible that If the votes are changed, I think it would be Useful for society in general, if not more People definitely understood that Children should be encouraged to do it It's wonderful that the children are participating. an early age that can be good civic members who have an interest in Taking care of our communities. That's how. We strengthen societies. So I I'm very much in favor of that, and tonight the I'm not going to join a long-term advisory committee. Read all that. But those are my notes. They're just not going to report us for several months But I still wanted talk about the topic we had We discussed

052at the meeting what we noticed in the decrease in enrollment We saw that on the net, there was a little bit growth but decline this The largest was in the northwest network that e That makes sense because it's in the area in Bolder where it is very expensive to live We focus on secondary schools We heard about Why the Families choose certain secondary schools What are the reasons? We have an important philosophy modernized in terms of secondary education that we had talked about, we noticed the high school schedules and what complicated things that the director is in I love making schedules, possibly She is the also unique is the fact that the secondary can address changes in numbers more easily than the primaries because the way their staff and so that the children go to

053a class every then they can fill the time period with the elective courses the size and that they probably don't know is 150 children per school year and we're also looking at the population Not much will change in high school. within the next 5 years, and that's everything I have to say I So, like the last time we talked Much has happened to our nation and our By the way, I have a new one. sticker on my computer big red United States needs I had public schools more than ever. the opportunity to attend the meeting with Dr. Andersen with the parties interested the county of Bolder University of Colorado and much of the The conversation was about what will happen the decisions of those of the new administration to the What will the school do

054for the budget and we are very fortunate to live in a place where we have the right people in the right place to keep safe the community the polder county is working on an initiative that is preparing for emergencies and how that It can do many things. And that means for people in the community have their documents because you never know what's going to happen pass and when I want to raise this message: have to be prepared for it which follows requires planning of all of us and that planning It really begins I was able to attend now as well this is the premiere of BM was a very emotional experience of the community that came together to do the right thing for the community to provide Housing experience in work provide all the things

055that are important to In this community, the cost of housing is a challenge for us with the decrease registration fees and values This happened when I attended the academy of Leadership, I could see this that they They took the tour of the facility bmad and that they were very excited about the work and they did a tour of the We have a new culinary kitchen The students prepared that program desserts and the T bolder are making a tour of all facilities and programming they have, then I want recognize the district and its commitment to the diverse needs of our students' learning and the support from those who pay their taxes and Centaurus has also communicated a lot with us among the band the press box conversation and also I have responded to the cell phones

056in the Last 6 days: 150 emails electronics regarding the policy of cell phones kh Then I had the pleasure of reading them everyone, and sometimes there are many. Many Thank you for your patience if I haven't answered yet It has been a very active email and Lastly, I want to elevate the work that We are doing things and the ways we are doing them. for which we are proud and We're talking about the grades in it psat we were the only ones District in the students who don't have a second This language surpassed the others. other schools in previous years So I want to acknowledge the applause. For our districts, I want to acknowledge to the District our parents and staff for their efforts in the places that are significant for all students Excuse me,

057I forgot two things about gratitude in the conversations that We had to, I think, be Good day to the parents of Souen Hills that They came from different places They had a discussion about technology and several thought things the discussion of the policy of the phones and what to do new in next and also in schools elementary in middle schools and We were thinking about the other devices technology and other problems that This includes, for example, Chromebooks and computers and if the entire curriculum He's going for it. So how does he do it? We'll see if Infinite Campus is the best option. should provide updates in real time or if we could should limit that or if they should have a pager in it phone for parents and for the District So we've had quite

058a bit of time And I think we're having good times. technology conversations for to be able to do but we also had some conversations about some other things unfortunate things that I am grateful for because of the BPA and the parents of In the Netherlands we had research that they passed regularly And in defense of the district I have to to say that we have that we have contracts uh from the rules of work, the police involved and different things, huh? Because Sometimes the district cannot answer questions from some research Well, this has It makes sense because we can't do that and be responsible at all levels But we can create a generic form of communication if anyone knows there is one research being carried out so that at least know why the district He

059cannot answer the questions, he will not This is particularly the case, but more about the process and I think that assure the parents that the reason for some of the questions we cannot answer are The question is because we are in a a situation in which we still cannot commenting as an institution like Parents and educators deserve to know a little more about what's happening At least he was finally talking about some parents who were dealing with the logistics of bolder technology And if the high schools know the complexity of muv requirements and all that the schools are the implications for the students have access to our programs we are building very good buildings culinary part, factory part, everything what we see today that shouldn't be enforceable only if the Students have a car, we

060must to do a negotiation for the students have access to these programs that can be removed from Fairview so they can go to Bolder deck is not only for those who have car, those who can go, that everyone can benefit from cooking to build things and so there's a lot I work to cultivate an appreciation for listening all these things that matter so much to them I'm going to talk to the people to try to see what the solutions that we need and sometimes You see that the answers that You want it, you're not there, keep going talking to us We're trying to be the most possible responsives that we can thus queci graas For doing it members of the Please complete the next part of this meeting. The first requirement is... the graduation and

061the and the reviews to the policy of association we're going to look at Fernández podium Thank you President Robin Fernandez is here to give us an update on what We are meeting the requirements of graduation and the policy of I say that in reviews, like while Robin Share some of this information night that the requirements of graduation are interconnected with other things budget instruction minutes schedules So between us we consider this things numerous also to the groups of council and our board The recommendation is what we can do now. and some studies of what we can do So Robin continues in the future Good evening, Dr. Anderson. board members such as the drct Anderson said Kathleen Sullivan and I We're here tonight for the information from the process by reviewing the graduation policies of and

062requirements since the last time We talked about politics. IQF at the end of the year last spring We established we were with teachers of the school school principals and advisors VP leaders also representatives of the Community colleges and leaders of district This group met several times since the beginning of the year school and proposed some changes in spring for politics IQF discussed that policy should reflect the change in students They require this after their graduation policy can provide many opportunities for our students And the group has focused on this and on our next meetings after lots of discussion and comments of Kathleen, after much advice and comments from 13 groups representative ones we took some recommendations under consideration start the class of 2029 is increase the credits of graduation from 220 to 240 and This

063is represented between 10 and 20 credits in and 30 in mathematics and of 20 an additional 30 credits in science Dr. Anderson discussed other aspects of this policy including the issue of specific courses for graduation However, as discussed in the order two and in the politics of the elements There are other jobs that have started that must be completed before the reviews of these policies the memoranda of understanding of the MSOS and the board of Education and instructional minutes and the school schedules the minutes and the requirements of graduation are part of a system quite complex in addition we will be discussing the use of meat unit of processes and we're going to bring other things for the board so that have in The red line is considered includes the recommendation that is increase the

064required credits AND also how do we do it every time the The board is going to look at one policy It's about updating the language so that reflect the voice of the The board also includes students with education plans individualized by eliminating some unnecessary details and that it is the director who should be authorized sometimes in coordination with the district leadership to do variations to these policies in terms of next steps obviously planning for the graduation in the requirements is quite important for the I know about families because of my two children They recently graduated from high school. we will be in common with these families regarding these changes begin to happen so that we can to reach the needs of the students and continue receiving the courses that are needed and that are aligned

065and monitor how they are doing students with these requirements graduation and ensure that the courses that Dean chooses, have several paths to get to the graduation And with that, we're happy to answer. any questions you may have have Jason, thanks Robin and Cartín, I support. many of these changes to set more requirements rigorous one of the things we saw in This policy at the end of last year There was a table that showed the requirements compared to I want to see other nearby districts and see How does this look? How do we look in compared to others districts this puts us in the same requirements that most of our districts neighbors I'm confused about one thing two Things for education F yes education In physics there is a paragraph that talks about the requirement may

066not be necessary if they are in sports, they either did or they did a Band season or others eh activities that are They compare. But on the other hand, it says that the credit won't be given in other activities So there's something that's bothering me. missing because please explain to me What does it mean? What is it? This is the existing language, no. We did no review of the language with respect to education physics So I can't to give a lot of detail in this language of the political, but it wasn't something that was changed for this review Today then It's something I'm not seeing because in terms of these two paragraphs They contradict each other, I am. reading Bad. How not, really, how didn't I put it in? I hadn't read it, so let

067me Read it while you read if you can use You still have to earn 240. units to reach graduation So even though those that may not be necessary physical education anyway You need that number of credits. Thank you. That was what wasn't clear to me. the other The question I had was about the arts The requirement only plays music and art, which I imagine is arts visuals. But I wonder why not drama is also considered in This and also including theatre and theatre arts are including that may be an arrangement of language potential because I have a student who I know is a senior and takes theater and that's what that Can I talk for a moment about... I have some questions about I was looking forward to the physical education class. that they could

068To clarify, we require 15 credits of physical education and five of health only 10 language credits and five of anything that falls in of the arts me I ask philosophically about Why? Because physical education too. It could be covered in the 75th. lectures and also because some students prefer not to participate in sports, ... have to have physical education so that you don't have and weightless ratings in their transcript of ratings and Many of the students also take physical education requirements in the summer so they can take basic classes during the school year but sometimes take a class in the summer You have to pay for that and you have while you don't have to pay to take that same class during the school year then there are some I think the consequences surrounding that

069are It seems to me a fairly high requirement for I know we didn't discuss physical education. I wanted to bring up this point earlier, but I want to make this point. because there are quite a few questions around of Mr. President, thank you. Thank you for... I think bringing this to our attention will Yes, we should study. This is when I have the m and these questions also from resolved financial matters We could look at these requirements We also need to see What is happening? How many of how many? students are we talking about? How many? Students are using these Exemptions How many students are Taking the 15 classes. How does it look, I think? These are the questions that we must become Regarding this topic, I would really say with respect to the speed

070that We are trying to take care of some of the concerns that the requirements that we had were very Low compared to the districts close and that loer rectify but I think we have more work to do because that's how we multiply all our credits times 10, 22 credits are 220 credits if there was a button that I could push so that the district That will change immediately, I already know. I would have done it a while ago but the complexity regarding infinite campus and the entire system and all the the systems for which you have to to have to make these changes, uh, are things we have to consider but the consideration about the physical education requirements with Understanding and what I understand is which in 2017 was in response to new graduation requirements

071Then I remember. Well, it was like, let's change it to comply with that but after that almost in It hasn't been reviewed in 20 years, and I think that It is a opportunity to take some considerations and we'll get to that point And that's how we create space. at the meeting to begin the conversations about this and how it I would see this if we made some changes because it is a policy of the board to final and graduation requirements It's something we want to structure and have conversations Hey, you got a little ahead of yourself. questions I had But about education physics and the exceptions of the students who choose to be in a band or other activities Athletic, I know this comes and goes. If that It must be allowed, or I wouldn't

072like it. to advocate that if we leave them these requirements that we can increase from two to two and a half credits so they can participate in the band for 4 years they can fulfill the requirements of 10 credits as whether it's because of the 4 years of participation in a sport or in a activity because it requires outside of the Some students at school don't take some classes if we save those 15 then I want to advocate that we set aside time compensatory so that there is time for those activities that can be done exception to these I saw Elena's hand up in the credits and Jason, I support what you just said. I totally agree. athletics, which are these other activities require and that students can to have credit where they can exercise

073and activity that makes them I'd like to be happy about this. also bring attentions in competitive skills We have sophisticated sports and competitive and few children can to have and the Physical Education classes I think there are other students who don't They may be exposed to these sports because They don't want to do it that way I'm a little competitive divided because I believe the impulse I understand the impulse of some classes that not some students who don't They want to be in physical education and They want to be active, and that's why sometimes They want to do things during the summer that keeps them active and gives them the credits So We can be more flexible, but It should also be competitive, but also use language that they will enjoy students Hey, more fun

074activities for the students because and so that the coaches know that May, that the objective should be try to recruit more students and not only at a competitive level but so that the Enjoy and learn about the activities that are happening so that more children may be involved and can also take care of the loans they need we can We'll talk more about that later when Let's talk about the activities part. But the second thing I want make sure that Let's acknowledge that maybe I have two, huh? layers, it's that I'm worried we're and that we are giving the opportunity to recover debts I know we have vehicles equally available that students can to have for rag Reach that some students have support on how they can access those I am in favor of the

075loans they need. help those students get those credits that they need and that and that the access to those loans should not be a factor It depends on how rigorous your school is, but... the desire to help our students to arrive at the goal, and if we increase the rigor too We must make sure that we are uh, raising the level of support that We have options for students who don't It matters which school They are hoping it will be a way of soon implementation that is reflected in the red line I got some notes from the committee Atlético, at least the one I like, the one I like I attended this. It was in February and I believe the athletic review committee I was looking at those 15 credits required 5 being well-being that

07610 were eh available for exception, but for those of students of seventh degree were recommending that not had exceptions, and I think this I don't know what's wrong with him I think this was based on a microphone. in the difficulty of the sports at the club level because people they were receiving exemptions for those who were participating at club level and that it was not fair for the students who had to take these credits then there were pushing a little To go against these exemptions For this reason, but I think that was his recommendation this is open for discussion but when we are talking of things that impact the people, for example, someone who plays the cross at a high level and can have its extension because of this and you can't take all your

077credits in advanced classes So this isn't fair then I believe we have to make these exceptions look at them a little Thanks again for that comment. I appreciate it, I want to be clear Hey if while we move forward with the graduation requirements and the board policies that the board will take a leading role, understand and balance and the competitive priorities and the competitive interests of the groups and for example if the Athletic Committee He has a sure opinion about the arts. The languages ​​will also have one They're also going to have one, and I think it's something that hasn't had work substantial in the last 20 years So I think it's really important that Let's apply the rigor of mathematics cents for all graduates Let's ensure that all students who graduates from the district

078should have rigor and the experience so that they are not stuck on something they may be interested in going to do it when Go away from here so we can Let's support them, let's give the students a curriculum plus rigorous not just a few math credits and other sciences and fill these schedules of things that maybe won't be so useful in the future and that's how this is going to be graduation of the requirements of Many people will have graduation different opinions but to make a policy that aligns with the mission vision of our values ​​as we're going to have the opportunity to do I am grateful to everyone who wants to do this. This is a policy of giving your opinion the together we We must have the power to decide what they are

079the requirements of graduation and we are the ones who certify the diplomas and there is a whole process that behind this, and I just wanted to be clear for people who have an opinion about this that The decision is, uh, it's from this team, Jason and Now Kiri, my question has to do with Rob, and your comment on the following steps and the processes sounds like we approve of these processes of mathematics and science but that perhaps there will be others more conversations ahead of philosophical use of the requirements of Graduation obviously involves several issues that I wanted to think that maybe some are a priority over others, for example 10 credits request 10 credits in a language in another language and be consistent with bilingualism and also push for the division of These are

080the next steps. to have conversations what is it that we believe as a board that taking into account the laws of state and what is possible but I I would be in favor of us having one larger conversation as follows passed Absolutely, it's something that must be a conversation that should continue Beyond This meeting and I believe the order of the operations. I think we can Make the changes today and adjust to these changes and that I think I work important that in the district that is happening while we try to organize those structural minutes instruction or We change the needs, we change the credits personal in the I was a principal at the schools for a long time. time and if no yes yes It would be needed if we had more students learning

081other languages ​​we would need more staff to teach these classes So it doesn't matter where we put these requirements the minutes in the in the schedule is also a We had an important one quite a few very productive meetings good where we had consensus on district on the idea of ​​these instructional minutes of instruction academic if we get where we need to be Being there is the first thing we must do. I understand I was in a district where We did this before where we saw the exemptions and where we put that We need less of certain things. then we must also give it the opportunity to people certify yourself, get certified in other things So there are logistical things that are They should take this into account. So I think that The path we

082are taking is the That's right, we have an agenda, uh, let's go continue working on it and while We can get from the two 20s to the We can get there Rob Rob is telling me looking at this moment but at the event it is work that we will be able to do it and know that the decisions we make at the level of Policies will impact decisions personal and also to the schedules and also understand that this connected between Yes, in the changes we are experiencing. proposing Kiri and now Alex and then the Kiri Alex I want to expand a little on what he said Jason was going to say that when we decide to Physical Education: we must think about what it is The purpose of this credit is to learn gone to

083physical education class What is learned there, or is it about promoting? activity and well-being or is it something more Because if, as Jason says, why We are doing what we are doing And what for? This will help to inform the way we decided to do it and I also realize that I had read That's bad. 15-credit exemption. Only two of those. They may have exemptions for a sport or by the or by a band then end with a number of credits that is not a multiple of Five that looks a little strange and that's what Nicole was saying before that I hadn't realized the My question has to do with the discrepancy about a part of this information night where we took the vote to take action typically you study first then the action but

084it's scheduled for December 10 but this is information but also serves as study So ​​it won't be completely Perfect, there are going to be changes, it's coming in appointment on December 10 and the agenda to The end of this meeting will be and we will to continue having the conversation someone put this in the agenda two years ago I just wanted to say that. because it's here because it wasn't a priority 2 years ago years, how it seems we are eh, somewhat truncated in what we can I have a few questions today. related to this content that but that will not necessarily be significant I wonder if we can remove all the section of the units required for graduation eh work on the definition of units Carnegie's definition is not That's not what we're doing,

085we have schools that at the end of the page a and to beginning of page two what Defines which is a credit: some schools have days of credit eight periods and seven others then We are working on a policy of calendar How are the minutes I don't think we need national using outdated definitions in this I like the idea of ​​politics, the idea of to be 24 credits six classes a year are 24 Credits seems simpler to me. The language perhaps makes this more confusing politics and I also have a question account that some of the information in the page 3. What classes should be taken photos taken in the Education class Physics and Geography 9 and 10 History 10 and 11. Whether it was a policy mistake or whether It's going to be "No

086thanks for that question". I put those red lines there because I it seemed Redundant material needs to be cleaned up a bit. because the language already says 10 credits then I just removed grade 10 because it didn't seem like it to me Necessary, but not changes substantial then in the degrees of not at 12 suddenly because there are some inconsistencies s I made a mistake in But now there is more consistent suddenly becomes irrelevant because we're not going to get there, but I wanted to do a question in practical experience in There are interesting comments in that section. that it must be covered at school average And what counts as experience? I wonder if it's practical to do it. We can make it clearer for people to articulate it in a different way, like Loans

087can be arranged for to be punctual. And how instead of saying that maybe they'll be done in middle school I think it's It's going to be complicated; I'll have to read this and return to your ask if we've started to change this Now what I don't know is if we're starting to to impact teachers who were hired good secondary ones who were hired to teach those classes No I'm not saying we have to change but clarify the language in the politics because I've heard that it's not We want to make big changes but if there's a way to paraphrase it different information on and to the extent That we bringing this Back on the I'm not Now that does that make sense or I mean there something else I need to understand sugg Take should

088figure out Our schedule ands of achieving ours for Our stud so I think I think we should as first straty and then do One other I have this Don't How it works But I am interested in How the district might eventually create program Our Hol poli are added in a chapter but does Our independent study Credit process affect that Any way not that I'm aware of Hi have to use your microphone um given Nicole's comment about putting this on the agenda two years ago and only Getting To This Point in I Guess I Myself Open Is there a way to to Hold a little longer making chess so we can more of the ches making I do feel That's that we don't have And I think Getting this right really Will imp Our that Being

089said I do want to that Our increasing Our Science requirement Will help our kids students to all The admissions cat All the types of universities and they graduate and leave our programs andd left I did not know I that of and to get and so I am with the en of I don't also want to Hold that aspect Because I do think that is really for Our students in their longc like this conversation be Mays Now and may have This is what I would like to print that so iate that and next First best step Is Us One Step Closer to and does Take That's what we're standing for. about this goes in Place the cl do forage language Talking so I don't know talk about this pri process but I would like not to

090have that conversation Again That's what it and then you know try To Know Place to get to the of9 that is conc to Yes, we are concerned about what we do towards the future will impact children in or 7 years old I appreciate the urgency with which I am graduating. that the members are acting but I want to share with you this. This doesn't... We want to move so fast because it is very complex is highly interconnected with the negotiation agreement is interconnected with the staff interconnected with the budget interconnected with minutes instructional that are by mandate of the state and focus These are Minutes change over time They are looking at potential in reductions in potentially force there will be a change in funding models for teachers in secondary school preparatory By changing these

091things, these things change. things they wouldn't understand because they are on the operational side of district change requirements This is an improvement and it's something very There are important implications. large. Although something is not designed. How would you design our system now? It has been developed to do this and for me as his employee and deputy superintendent the last thing I'd like to do that is to tell them to change their policies that would break our system and the consequences that we had not I thought maybe you'd say later Rob, why did you let this happen? I appreciate your legal representation. Two years ago This is part of it important today and because math dinners to your This point is where the focus is learned. different students in different For example, at times I'm going

092to go to the university I have done everything my The advisor has told me what the... graduation requirements and I give Tell me if I want to go to university I have to take a year of this course or If I'm not going to prevent this, the fact of I think that if we extend This conversation through several years will have the impact and the change but they will also understand what it is What happens when it's done? And I think that It goes from hand to hand and they have to understand that we do not refuse change but that they are informed and prepared to Understanding what's going to happen is good and the bad thing about any changes they make because some consider them good but not Everything is good, some things may

093consider a challenge and it can cost us money we don't have and We'll talk about that in a minute and I want to give you that context and to the public and that they understand that the graduation requirements Graduations have long-term impacts deadline and I want to make sure everyone know and understand before Let's make changes around I want to ask these board members this Are there any final comments or are there any? Questions on this topic. Well, as I see it that there are none, let's take a rest brief to the to the to H board members those who still They're watching our meeting from home. Tonight our next topic is the I'm going to allow the update. Dr. Anderson present. Thank you, Mr. President. I have two things to update. advice on what's

094happening regarding to the legislation as they remember I went one of several superintendents those who were in this group of Job 1241 level responsibility State and those recommendations are published since the last time we we gathered I want to thank the presidents of windy process ber who is the superintendent in the Harrison district Do and Rebecca Mendon, she is in the State board meeting was 150 hours of meetings throughout the year They made very good recommendations. about responsibility the frameworks state accessories report the public and public participation and the we are in a process of continuous improvement trying to make a circle around the important recommendations we are refining this the valuations of the schools and the district thinking about the subgroups that include several sometimes while we are considering We want to occupy certain

095appraisals. best measures for academic achievement post-preparatory preparation and the modernization of the advisors or state assessments and we are possibly changing this language about adaptive assessments and how are we going to improve processes identify the schools earlier so that be certain things less optional more required similar to the process that We occupy here in the district. Don't wait. until the state tells us it has to change things a lot for the better Information for those who present before I believe there is a State Board bill that is still going to publish to include that information I'm super excited about that and More importantly, and what worries me most, is that Governor's budget that was published November 1st, you You have heard that I have spoken about the budget of governor, and that's a great project

096of development for us here in the district I'm going to share with you and Those of us who are still listening have significant concerns with several of the proposals in the budget of governor and many of those concerns we expressed during the bill 1448 while we were advocating this in against changing the minutes of school funding many of those concerns are that are going to be published are going to be presented The governor is proposing to change the implementation of 1448 in 6 to 7 years which is very worrying because they won't have the money to implement the project of le 1448 as we predicted. And that's going to reduce kindergarten funding second degree about 140 million dollars throughout the state East But if you do that, you don't have to go back. introduce the

097stabilization factor of the budget, with that one is the owner and He has to pay for this change again the way it counts students doing it correctly or not in a day The other one costs 4 to 5 million of dollars to the District much less than that we have right now, so a very big challenge That's significant, and it worries me quite a bit. about our financial future as District to meet our compensation commitments for to meet the needs of Students know that we hear about the people all the time about things that We need to do more to support the children and we're going to have less than what We have today. That means very important decisions. It's difficult to figure out what we're going to I'm going to say, besides the average,

098I I think we need to be in force while we think of this budget board members you They know about the financing project Colorado schoolboy guided by Tracy Reigning is an organization that speaks from school funding bill and me We are frequent members of their meetings and the other part that they need Being vigilant is not the norm. But how do students count in this meeting And in this the governor and his Director Marc Fernantino is speaking average daily membership instead of that counting window we have right now, and that average membership to diary the number of students decreases We'll finance it if you think so, right? We're going to invest so much money and there are an argument that could be made about of the ways that possibly things that We do it. It's

099not the same. the way other states do it but changing it from one day to the next has an impact It's real, we're going to feel the impact. the entire metropolitan area and in the important districts such as Jeffco: $20 to $30 million Littleton are going to lose about 4 or 5 million 3 or 4 million dollars, that's for 100 students, we're going to Losing a million dollars. That's how. math works. So I I have a lot Concern, huh? Where are we going? Regarding this season of I know the budget from the meeting with JBC. There was a lot of criticism of the budget. Governor but not Val see how It was before, it's possibly less bad but He's still talking about the losses in dollars real numbers fixed in a formula that goes to

100implement that doesn't give us money, no consider the cost of living as I believe it has been included in the past. There is an inter-ante question in as if this is the language of the project the law allows the bill 1448 continues is a question that We have to answer but We'll be talking during that session legislative we're going to be we're going to be By doing the work twice we will use our delegation to Let it be very clear. We want to say to those who are listening to those who are in the future For the District we are looking at a increased costs and needs with less funding board members there any questions about those topics in the legislative update Alex, I want to go back to the first topic and give to

101Superintendent Anderson Congratulations on your contributions and leadership in the entire work group He was able to contribute lessons from his work. leadership in the district what we have been able to do in terms of achievements student and the changes we have done To contribute the state in a positive direction Superintendent Anderson has done a great work in terms of to improve the schools utilize the leaders of the school for which they apply the system of responsibility in a way For to contribute To support children who They need more support and we have a lot experience and expertise of our I appreciate your leadership I know it's a job. very hard given what we are asking you to do in It takes time, but it truly bears fruit and the second Our senator Julio Mbele's topic

102is in the budget committee set Then she This representative to our to our Dr. Anderson, I have a question. Regarding the working group of responsibility and recommendations to the State board you mentioned that there is bills that are proposing there are specific places in which we can advocate for certain recommendations or all the recommendations And how could we I think the representative will do it. Bird is going to write something, she's going to sponsor a bill and based in That's what I'm going to tell you. recommendations for you we participated, we were contributors important to the bill as well guided by the district of Saint, but I I think we've contributed some good ideas and Brendon, this is a good team. They can do very good things in terms of the legislation and all indications

103It is early that there is broad support for the State Board and others. So that makes me encourages I have many board members child who is going to enter high school And I was doing a bolder tour High and the governor's police were there with his student So I am hoping that if he spends more time in in our schools he can understand what Kindergarten education is so important That's like a little light. Hope because I echo what it says Dr. Anderson this Draft This is not ideal Beth, I saw that he raised his hand What are your comments? Thank you. Nicole has been having difficulties technicians tonight but I want I want you to let them know. They know I'm here, I'm here I couldn't see Rob when I was participating He was talking

104but I heard the concern in her voice and my only My comment on that is that I really I appreciate your transparency, that's what I mean. Exact conversation we need to have because the public needs understand the challenges we are facing facing a deficit of four to five millions of dollars is overwhelming. So I appreciate that you are lifting that information and I believe that Dr. Anderson, the school board, and the The community will advocate for what is best for But it requires our students I am grateful for all the discussions. that we had more about before participate in democracy and I them I encourage you to participate and do what you can As people have said many times She comes before the Council with very good ideas about the right thing to do, and

105although it is We don't have the money for the right thing to do. Doing it then worries me a lot Then I'm glad we're having Thank you so much for this conversation.

108one policy jrct use of cell phones by students and Other staff members have a motion, I make a motion that we approved the policy jrct seconded by the line members there are discussion about politics jrct ki if I have one question When talk later of forgiveness Let's just say that this can't be done use technology when the session when school is in session When the bell rings Students can record other children that they are doing things or possibly I need to review the policy again or The recording part is prohibited in My concern is always there exactly what happened in the Monark Elementary School, Kindergarten 8 degree that the children were recording other children doing things and He became public again, and that can be humiliating. Who knows what might happen to the children? I'm

109still curious about politics. This restricts malc behavior and defines bad behavior such as using your phone during school hours on campus So when does school end? When the last bell rings politics when the hours end The policy for schoolchildren is no longer in effect. then they can record in a game of children can play basketball or They can record after school if They are doing a dance in front of the school but the specific behavior that you Speaking is still prohibited in the final paragraph on the first page in Green students will never occupy personal technology devices for promote or facilitate any conduct who saw the student code Even the use of media digitally captured to bully to harass or I'm going to focus on the details to humiliate you. if they don't intend it

110to be bullying, harassment, intimidation because they don't dan account possibly that it wasn't pass our It does not require intention; the intention is there. required as part of the conduct criminal, but in public schools whether he intends to or not But if it meets the definition of behavior that The intention is not relevant. Thank you, I want to a clause regarding public attention and can help people who are working with schools and children I appreciate that President Rash Paul responded to the opinions we have had One of the issues received is what is the appropriate use of technology we are Speaking of exemptions, what can be done? do during instruction time supervised for academic purposes then some of the examples that the People mentioned it regarding its use technology applications can to allow and the

111professionals of the schools can make the determination about how and when it is allowed Whatever the application, there is one space to do it and another comment I appreciate that This is something that will evolve over time and I have a lot of confidence in the school leaders in the district and the administration the staff in the schools to find ways intelligent to be this policy is at a very general level and not is dictating what needs to be done within each school then what Centaurus students mentioned in their emails very well I anticipate that there will be changes in the drafts and lessons that we are going to So I am learning. anticipating what we are going to learn while We are making progress in politics and the policies that will work Dr. Anderson's

112best Thank you, President Rash Paul, I will. to say so that the public knows and understand how we have set our schedule in the next quarter We have an update on the implementation of the policy of We're going to talk about cell phones in public. I believe that in March, based on passing This policy is my intention to work on with the high school principals teacher leadership teams During the following weeks for think about how we're going to implement the policy starting in January and for the Council member's point Medler, we want to make sure that we do it. in a way that clearly establishes the Expectations change culture and not about mentioning or as W mentioned previously that does not create a confrontation between teachers and students in a way that can to damage

113those relationships that are important for student success and for teachers too then We are working closely with our staff towards the implementation of this Fidel politics and the community are open So we are considering the Overuse of cell phones that affects health Mental and the students I can't see you no I honestly believe they did it Pretty good. I've been thinking It's not the same as implementation So Alex did pretty well, he's going to to be a process iterative and we'll be looking at the students and our workers How it can be implemented will not to change overnight but What I wanted was a change of culture. That's it. Everything is like this, this is my last chance. of I have given my consent to this policy concerns I must say from the principle that

114from the beginning I have said more than anything, feeling is that more to start this conversation with a question how access to technology and the platforms are impacted by education or the educational environment We'll start with this solution and I think this limited our involvement with the data that We collected comments, which limited our ability to think and take the time to all the forms of technology and all these devices because we really are focused on the cell phones and I see that we're talking now of how this It's not going to be a term that will last beyond the night to the tomorrow but the language around the cell phones indicate This is a little difficult for me not having a discussion of the digital measure and how it will use the platforms during

115the day and how this This policy affects these platforms I am a process-oriented person and I like to look at the policies that They are related and I like to take the time to understand everything and in the I don't think the time we've set is that... has allowed this, so for today I'm going to vote no. And this is my only opportunity to to say my opinion in all the all the emails I've answered have answered in a way I feel I need to say that in I don't love this policy right now, but I respect the majority of this board. other discussion Thank you, I appreciate this, I think Although I support politics I appreciate the problems you have position You have mentioned the mentioned and others have commented that we have a

116list of how we're doing How are we going to monitor websites? use Chromebooks uh the digital part of the I appreciate all these points in literature. Bring these points thanks for writing on behalf of the one of the He put together something that V wasn't supporting. Kiri, I appreciate that you also share your perspective as I said before I I would have voted for this policy soon in 2017 or 2018 when the We reviewed the latest time but for those who are not hearing that they are not as old as I can assure you that in the days golden before there was such as personal computers or cell phones Parents could give messages to their Students calling the offices of schools and employers too they could do That was in my day. They also had

117jobs. The students and I never heard that an employer not I could get a student and we didn't have the kind of schools that We had them now, but we didn't have problems. we didn't have the problems that the People are afraid that it will happen if Students don't have cell phones like that I hope this helps parents young people who have no idea what it was like life before this Technology: What was it like before? microwave oven, microwaves do not We fixed things and They worked, which just reminded me of something I was thinking about, the doctor Anderson said we are bringing about change cultural by implementing a policy that It will change the practices and the school behaviors and was thinking what the analogy with your comment now how things were It used

118to be like the smoking section in a airplane How did that happen before how did it I allowed Not to be dramatic, but I hope that this kind of decision to which we can see how we allow unlimited use of cell phones in the I think schools are one of those changes cultural aspects that may be related to the smoking section of an airplane that one He wonders why it was like that back then Why do we allow it? And when you mentioned the days golden. I thought about that, I pee before. Even though there were sections of smokers in the planes Jorge You know I feel that we are on the right track I was there too divided in the direction that we We were moving my concerns is which might be a little

119extreme. Like for example with regard to the use of the cell phones But my concern is not only the politics in general, but ours Implementation of how to do it, eh, well how to do it with Loyalty, and that's what I think. We can do it, we can push this. a form that is consistent and fair for everyone with the implications in the time of Education and the teachers' skills in forcing these policies That's what I've been worried about, I think. that everyone believes it's a cultural shift school but as part of this having moved as fast as we have It has been a concern because we have not built like Nicole He said the things we're going to have to to do with a policy like this So that's what I wanted to share

120How many iterations of the data of How are we going to proceed? What does it really look like? How will it be affected? Who will be affected? affected by these policies and what steps are we taking to make sure they happen consistently throughout the district Alex, I also want to express my gratitude to President Rash for getting caught up in this discussion in this topic and inform ourselves about the topics I think that he did that everything that has been shared are Really aspects of things that we need to do while we continue I don't think any of this discussion... These questions are part of what not we have to follow what I've heard of the people who are implementing faithfully, for example For example, Southern hs discussions I've had with others districts or with

121leaders from other districts or with leaders from other districts States have implemented easy because they have been clear in in terms of what politics is and that It's easy for employees implement it because they are clear on one I think schools are going to be one class at a time. to be able to be clear and not ambiguous as to how do it and the leaders of each school and the adult community of that school They must be clear that we are going to do this faithfully and find the form both instead of saying eh which is a policy that comes from up there We'll see how we can do it, and if not We do it 100% right because we have time to find out how it isn't more start with loyalty at the

122school level go solving problems along the way based on the experiences of others states and teacher surveys in the whole country that is positive because it The distraction is ending. The era of Distraction and things are better So I don't think that... Let's be ambiguous about the intention of loyalty to this policy but that Let's be intentional about the and how we do it So we're planning track the funds to buy either lockers or bags with padlocks for the cell phones I potentially believe that after the board votes on this policy. We're moving tonight, huh? and starting with the directors of the schools with the teams of Leadership to think about how we iterate from a way that how to enfor a a policy that believes in the good of our students and that No,

123and not thinking that Ah, the Students are not going to follow this politics and we're going to start with a hand This lasts is Unfortunately, it's like some people implement doing it Tolerance is how one can be disproportionate very quickly then for Jorge's point in the I mean, this is the policy: We don't want to see cell phones, but uh, let's think of ways in which we're going to We'll make sure and we'll measure how that works. It's working, but potentially yes funds at some point if it we need if we reach a place where In February we are trying to do something and we are not able to reach the loyalty to the policy then we would have to consider it then if we put boxes and bags But it's not something we're going

124to do. To begin, we're going to hear from the people who are in school, those who They are implementing them to see where We can begin and we will monitor How our schools look and in the so that we can do it more extensively uh, tough, well we can start, uh, if the Students can do it on their own. knowing that it's good in the best-case scenario Maybe the children will say, "Uh, no." I have to worry about the phone because nobody else is going to have it, maybe could be that the most favorable scenario that Let's take the pressure off the students of what is happening during the day school to be in the cell phones, but we're going to implement this politics with a lot I know there are fears that... have been

125mentioned in some emails electronics. But well, it's a... it's a long answer to your question if in Somewhere, yes, but we're not going to start with that, we have to go shopping bags or lockers, that's not where we're going to I appreciate that, Dr. Anderson. It talks about what our students Speakers said today that they can to be responsible and that we must lead with that allowing them to take good decisions allow them to continue the rules and raise expectations and I also want to add because it This relates to our previous discussion. I think this will be easier if We consistently have schools that have the same periods the schools that have been more Consistent ones do not have open periods then they can to force the policies and also the graduation requirements and

126this Politics, for me, are also arguments Why be consistent in having a seventh period of the school day goes to to make things easier for everyone we are Ready members we can take list mler passes the motion we have the kh implementing the kh regulation KHR Kathleen Solivan will be presenting in this Topic: Thank you, Chairman of the Board. politics has been identified with by the Board meeting: A priority for the semester of the fall of the school year And then it We're bringing this tonight in response to this prioritization policy has not been reviewed since In 2005 I made a number of red lines proposals that They're really about language used in this policy not in the point of that the board listened to the comments of the requirements but we use language that

127existed in the policy previously expressing the benefit of gifts to the district and putting it to in the face of this policy and others reviews that are really new for Clarity to eliminate redundancy and for bring a shorter text than the one that was content in Separate Regulation and just consolidate it into one politics and I think with That introduction opens the discussion to the board Thanks Kathlen members of the Kiri board I have a question Let me see on which page This is about of the 000 limit in terms of the board must vote that it is in the page at the beginning of page 4 and says the superintendent has the authority to accept gifts consistent with basic principles that They are worth less than $1,000 and a penny gifts over 10,000 will

128be presented So what about the gifts? exactly $1,000 and one cent No I think it's because I believe it's going to happen But anyway, thanks for that question. When I see language, this is what I... I think about these limits by accepting gifts. are consistent with the limits of of the board of authority of a purchase that is something that maybe we're going to revisit Why we need to look at the policies and efficiencies of the policies, if the CFO can correct me if I'm wrong me I'm wrong, but we have it in the area In the metropolitan area we have the lowest and in he My suggestion is to stay there. instead of worrying about a penny that could rather replace what they Gifts may be accepted with the authority established by the eh

129I agree with financial policies with That's Alex on page two in the article. 5, which is in red, speaks of gifts that are equal to that which are not should to be received I am familiar That perhaps I would like to continue in the district. For example If someone tells us, "I have a gift for you," Suddenly it's that, gifts, gifts We also suddenly ordered a great because the We want to, and then maybe the foundation that if I wasn't going to give them, I wouldn't want to give them anymore. Therefore So, for example, what we want What we should avoid is them telling us that they are going to... Give $1,000 and we spend a million on That, but if we wanted someone give us and give us one contribution, something we apply would

130be allowed How would it work The intention of this policy is public gifts to schools because we have for We mentioned that in chapter d when are grs has more simple language around That's what we want to make clear to The public is that we cannot put a program in the school that the district after the district goes to benefit financially later It can't start as a gift, but We can look at language and special about these gifts to make sure that Aline, I can't see you, I don't have comments at this time Thank you, I have a lot of questions. and comments about this Politics as always I look at the examples of to school districts how we We compare them, reflected in the comments that We receive and what is the best practice

131for policies First, first I want to say having heard of the legislative update on the lack our financial budget that have I want to make it clear in the community that We appreciate all the gifts that we receive at any level of form that these gaps are being filled When we have deficit then in any form that We can show gratitude and positivity in all the ways that our community supports our students in this first paragraph the last sentence It says that the basic principles of this eh constitutional principles and board responsibilities Educational is for everyone students, no, I don't really understand. how this relates to all the Students, I think it's a lot of work. that schools have been doing strategically planned proving eh educational opportunities unique, then it seems to me a goal

132unusual for a gift policy for school so I have some Questions of how did this end up here? It is the language that exists in politics when you see green letter green and I know I don't like the universe Google says there are things that are hard to follow But what green language means It was somewhere else and I moved it and I moved it because it was articulated like the Its purpose is a bit outdated and a and a Not very faint, probably. I don't think so. Politics necessarily advances. that we lose nothing by eliminating that language Thank you. Excuse me, is she talking about the last sentence of the last paragraph s the other something I was also thinking about of This is a lot of the language in this policy. In particular,

133it feels specific to the Deer schools eighth and really No, it does not address high schools and such as the collection mechanisms of funds operate in that type of environments schoolchildren and maybe none of us We were part of the Council educational at that time but it feels a bit Ah hostile specifically in one of the points, for example What gifts do you give to full-time staff? complete or Regular students are promoted, but not to unlicensed people, I mean, I don't know why What is the difference there and in the There is also a point in politics that says Ah, basic principles are at the end of page number two guide employees and personal and partly there our for Educators tend to feel sometimes not so valued in different ways, I don't know if it's

134a way in which We are giving an example to one with a pair of principles for licensed staff versus a unlicensed or temporary staff So why are we doing that? difference and what would be the difference I look at b and I have this Many questions to ask if you want this Talking is welcome, but they are one of my many questions in that Yes, I am one of the few people who were here when this It was last updated on 2005 then to go back a little bit when he was adopted in 86 I'm assuming it was and still is a rule of the casby policy of gifts to schools and when it was updated in the 2005 that's where we added the sharing component that was added and It was around that time

135when I went to say this effort of stratification est This was wrapped in That might take a year to process Developing this language is a little bit background on that and the difference between license and no license and this the idea behind This means that someone shouldn't be proven I'm sending gifts to hire a teacher that perhaps he is teaching his student your son is more like a role of support for those funds collections for the staff so that there would not be Implications of "I provided this gift" who hired you, let's talk about it. What's happening is more or less a a little bit of background on that part and has been so for a long time time then. That speaks to usage appropriate but 10% is not associated with gifts to full-time employees

136full or regular staff of medium time 10% only applied to donations or gifts to additional staff tall and cannot use gifts for hire licensed personnel only They have unlicensed and unclassified personnel That's why it's mainly used for the for educators and tutors and where it says Gifts to encourage hiring staff oral or regular without a license you can talk a little bit about This high school versus want eighth grade, but in high school it says a 10% increase is within the school where it was collected and relocated but the primary and secondary From kindergarten to eighth grade, that 10% is dispersed. I don't know if we have through the district detailed reports of Why in the Some high schools do, and others don't. very, very, very, very few donations for hire staff in high schools

137It is a minimum quantity is mostly seen in primary schools at the level of specifically for preparatory school activities and sports typically but No, look, I'm looking at a school in Specifically, they were like 000 of 150,000 in the first half of the year After that, this would have been a delivery of 800 within other organizations within the school do not It was monitored, it was not reported, but It was a very large amount. small and there is Don specific to other groups within the schools that are more scattered and at point three and cu 3 cu and 5 I feel like they are this repetitive gifts you can use to hire non-licensed personnel and for fine arts and secondary level situations but not the You can use it for trainers and the You can

138use it for occasional use. I mean, me. I ask because there are limits around certain classes, positions, programs, and not for I remember a little bit of others discussions from 20 years ago are not the I don't remember everything, not even the very things. specifics of how they got to this point but Again, the coach's role can to be understood as the same the way in which teachers provide the the resources to hire the coaches and have a certain power around that position and for this the department of arts, uh, all that is through contracts additional work such as the choir activities or it could be the band of march that are involved in this not coaches But coaches are time. additional no yes yes yes it yes, for any reason, that's how they put

139it. language then a point of consideration If I see that Kathin is Taking notes, Dr. Andersen having two children who have all of them have been through theater, band, choirs arts and that potentially you would like I often think that participating means those things. Donations go through clubs Booster, see those types of donations. donations directly to the school Yo I know that sometimes these marching bands These require or take clinics of practice and we do not foresee funds for this marching band clinics or dance instructors o o music technicians o music technicians These are more like going to the sound from theater director to band director The choir director is a bit different because the coaches don't They are directing, uh, this work by I can say, but of course we can. analyze this policy

140and look at what This policy does and doesn't do, and what if... Schools are doing it, and we'll see if... Schools are still doing that What I think is that maybe for theater And depending on where you do it, where Do you attend the theater, perhaps Monarch or Fairview different budgets and different ways to raise funds But B is, I think we need to understand how It's being used. And how does it look in the politics and this addresses one of my general concerns members of Council, we looked at igd which talks about fundraising in different places Oh and sponsors this this board has I've put in a lot of effort to have the same theme within one policy and not different topics surrounding different policies I want us to be very clear and concise.

141make sure we are doing the same decision and that in general Let's have the same fundraising goal of funds that are under the same policy to maintain consistency when we're adding these things that our community has more transparency How are they entering How are different funds allocated to schools? They are using it, and how can they see it? similarly This policy has reached the point of what Dr. Andersen says, "How are they using it?" I know that people... Politics is a bit outdated, whoever it is It benefits, and who doesn't it benefit? And to be clearer with high schools in How They address the topic of gifts. They are very important, we don't want this OA Ah, we want this talking about them in a way consistent and perhaps explore this a A little more

142would be helpful, Alex. Yes, I want to. support what you're saying and amplify what they had said in other comments that members of the community speaking about kindergarten through eighth grade, like the President Rash, I want to increase the money and the funds that provide things for our students and also I want information on how things are working that among the group schools I imagine that the students athletic trainers are leaving because the titles the challenges to the title nu around equity federal requirements and that so equitable are the expenses between different coaches in a program versus another program and it's not the same case in the arts and I also want to understand how we compare These are the contributions of the parent and teacher organizations through other schools and how we We compared

143the booster clubs around schools in sports and activities Who are the ones participate, where, and what we are doing doing to close those gaps opportunity because in some students especially activities and things of enrichment. And what kind of pressures? We are putting certain groups of dem traffic in which they are participating in sports and we don't want to create a burden on low-income families I would love much more This has much more information about where The funds from those activities come from fundraising and being able to compare That, with the opportunities we have providing for all students and if I'll go back to the first sentence, to the point Nicole supports the second sentence in the first paragraph where you talk about Our primary basis is to provide equal educational opportunities all students within the

144responsibility of Constitution Ah I want to remove these two words because of the For the same reason, I want more information. about Where the funds go Where the money, I can make you a couple practical questions about how to Use the money from kh kh. And how are they? relocated based on historical reports And which schools can report? more generous donations such as 00.00 60.00 100000 and are Receiving Kate sharing is not my The question is, what does the language say about schools? Title I and schools with more than 30% of students who receive these lunches This is free and discounted. real allocation of kh there is one a better way to be more equitable and a school. I know that sometimes this raises more funds than another because example $1,000 and others that recently

145an allocation of kh kh then the policy has been implemented for 20 years and is agnostic How much? you collect and spend on activities only if you reach that 30% limit then in theory a school could contribute to the kh and receive a refund because it is Completely agnostic. So that free and reduced lunch percentage It will vary based on the patterns of board member registrations this I have a question, I mean, I don't know. The more... I delve deeper into this policy; there is more. implications and I have more questions and Another question, that's my question. Well, there are anecdotal conversations. some schools that have populations where the parents are not employees because their students are in the University of Colorado are potentially graduate students and are of low Oh, and they're not employed,

146but They have the resources to provide donations or the rest of the parent community He is excited about the fundraising. Donations don't always come in only of Parents, we have the list of all the options that come into cash Where does it come from, who does it sometimes come from? They are a little more generic but yes There are foundations, there is this individual donations donors There are different sources of anonymous messages. where do those resources come from? Well, I think any move towards simplify this policy this us It would help, and I say we're going in the correct direction to remove the parts Confusing, but I think my comment is more around No to this policy in particular but this conversation of all schools How we can distribute more funds precisely create ideas for

147a space for collaborations on What are the needs in schools and what they are the needs varied needs around the different schools the capabilities for certain resources to raise Yes, some schools have this funding. that limit of 30% of families who receive the free and reduced lunches if I don't know How would this be done? Oh, or where could we...? to have that space to have better connections around all our schools because there is indeed inequality tremendous in our schools and difference in revenue I know that maybe they don't have funds I'll answer right now, but start that conversation Ah, it could be something about Dr. Anderson benefit Yes, another point of view than that of the board can use this to think about The poverty rate is a point of high support view in

148funds There are a lot of smaller ones. in funds that H generates that potentially can to be used to support schools this high support within that 30% limit In this community, one of those are decisions that are made locally or they can put the poverty rate at a limit I think those would be very different. good discussions for the board This one that the board could have, eh I don't know the 10% extension, I don't know if I am Listening to that, if they want to honor and adjust Where does that go 10% that might be something that potentially we can consider this within this policy Alex and then I have a question Yes, I can see different things. strategies in which we can Focus on how to raise funds for This 10% will have

149a better effect and I would like more of this information around this how much we are generating what we are talking about When I look at the calculations and it seems to me a very small amount in schools Title One: We can be more effective if If I were more focused and I want to reiterate those that are new to the board that did not discuss this makes a I have a smile this month, it stopped because already He knows, but I had 12 hours of information of the community and organizations parents and teachers the fundraising and I know the pressure they feel. This policy is so confusing that It complicates the ability to raise funds involve parents in a appropriate and to the point of Jorge's support that what they are doing and what

150and We want to do that in a way that... The more systemic, 10% isn't a big deal for me. thing is only a symbol of the district's commitment towards equality and how we do it No we want to lose that commitment to the equity because it is symbolic and I I would like to find a way to approach this in a way systemic and help produce more communication that produces more equity Thanks Jor I think that My questions revolve around this Politics is very confusing, it's not clear, yes Dr Andersen would say that in what I think Why do you have what you have? I know that The board wanted to talk about kh. I don't think so. that Kath took liberties to do some other adjustment besides cleaning the The language is a little

151bit, but if you They want if the comments I'm making Listening makes it clearer connect it to other policies around We can give you fundraising support an opportunity for Kathlen to return This topic, this article on politics for study, not action, to study it again, and you can take notes and you can share those notes that you have with we can adjust the draft Under your consideration and any the need for us to see that needs to be more clear and provide explanations where they are We can do that if you need it. Or we can... Continue the discussion tonight. If I want to comment, it's more to add to the discussion. perspective when we review certain Politics. I know you were very upset. about having to wait two years, I, I I wanted to

152talk about this more than 2 years and Alex said, "Oh, well, I talked about..." Yes, he did, but I had mentioned This policy has been in place for a very long time. Sometimes some things aren't that urgent because of other things and I have had Frustration. It's been going on for a long time and I think What is that? I don't feel that this policy It's urgent, I think. I think it deserves a cleaning and some consideration. that if we connect it to the budget and in conjunction with other policies and how It's nothing to fundraising. It's the Good idea. I don't think it's urgent, but Yes, it's important, and if we can... receive I have community participation ask one more question before continuing. following politics and then Jorge sometimes gives gifts Charter schools are

153included Sometimes they are very nominal, some of them Sometimes I hear that 250,500,000 a year These are funds collected by charter schools They have their own policies and participate In a different way, I wonder why Sometimes we have charter funds noted in the kh report and in others It's not very inconsistent with what I can remember horizons although they haven't done it for two years now made There was a change in leadership. They participated in the politics of kh and of that fact provided that 10% to be I'm going to have to redistribute review the emissions from the other schools charter but I think they They resigned from being part of the politics Although horizons this turkey no are required to Report it. It's just a donation. within his organization one thing only for to

154deviate a little from the concept of Title One schools are being That 30% limit is important notice the use of funds and it is those funds differentiated by Weight has very specific uses and is linked to specific limitations then federal funds for example O No, you can't change that with the federal funds. For example, if you are a You can't use those titles at a school. funds to buy food. Oh, bye. For example, if you have a parents' meeting and teachers in a school and you are a school Title One: This does not use those funds to buy food for that meeting But it can be more flexible in other school fundraising can provide a little more flexibility and Perhaps some people don't know that Title One funds This is not You can use them

155for whatever you want They have very specific requirements. that are linked to those funds. Thank you. That connects a little bit to what I wanted saying thinking about My final point is that really to have an understanding of what we are And how are those being generated? funds around schools And how are these access points being handled? funds because there is a variation between who has access to the year's funds with No, I didn't know if it could be used that year. for food or no food or only for the staff. So, those mechanisms be more easy and more direct, accessible to the schools that really need them and I think making this clear in politics It's important, Alex, yes, I appreciate it very much This discussion, and I know the topic is very complex

156and connect it to other policies In How Fundraising I think it's a manner this very Okay then, I know we have more in our agenda but I want add president r p was talking a bit about how this meets other requirements Similar policies, this 10% is very, very much Very strange. No, it's not typical, and I want to. Congratulations to the district leaders and the community by this working together during these We want these discussions simplify it, keep it as a symbol of understanding and being able to use it as a a mechanism that reflects our values oriented towards equity around from the district and I appreciate this conversation Although I know they might get more complicated things, but I want to make sure that Let's keep this transparency and commitment to the point of

157view of the drct community Andersen I know that some schools this They are using these There are no funds within the politics that prohibits these funds from being Continue, I'm putting on my entry In my role as director, I don't know if there is a laboratory a space to redesign my school and I can use these funds on a a couple of years, I mean, I don't want them to people think that our directors They can't figure out how to use these funds is not the case, but sometimes We are thinking about this project capital or more important or a purchase of technology or this renew the library There are costs that are for one-time use only. And you want to accumulate those funds? Maybe It's an expense I want to stop every three years.

158It's quite clear that the schools are not Perhaps not everyone is spending the funds in qu kh because they are not requirement because perhaps they are waiting to do something special for their community, as well as the changes that We did it with our friends from sr8 we don't want schools to feel that they need to use it quickly and that perhaps it is not for the well-being of the We want students to take these decisions on how to use your funds and what obtain this benefit Thanks a lot, I think that's more a question because I I have this, I'm thinking that if it is that there is some logic to this insofar as the numbers when there's money involved remaining members of the Council Pardon p to add a little more seeing that

159Over the years we have Looking east, the activities occur at different times this at the beginning half the year when those These campaigns are formalized in the schools there is for the clarification when I and my team we talked about kh politics when We think politics is exclusive to The concept of hiring staff is 10%. solely for hiring staff is not to buy more Chromebooks or more furniture or whatever the need is So that's only donations or gifts that are appropriate for various reasons So in the reports we have all Donations. And we have a line that is solely for the staff and we know based on the comments of Personal. Sometimes it's very difficult. hiring staff then sometimes We have a plan to hire more staff educators tutors and then one can't find the

160right person and Once you have that money, then there's many details regarding when He spends the money now then first quarter second quarter the half of the final year of the first quarter. Thank you for that, and I repeat. Thanks to the community for everything. They do not do this to support schools It matters that you donate voluntarily. money to send to their children We know that getting to school on time requires... The whole town and we thank you The following policy for studying is the policy that HB sponsor and implementation of the regulations Kathleen wants to start. So that's it. a policy that the board identified I have prioritized your review. These are very basic, minimal changes because The board hasn't had much discussion and There was no legal reason to change. then that

161policy is presented for the council discussion and we can do more with these changes and then to contribute it again for his study board members this is another policy that I feel is possible improve the tone I I believe I sponsor It's a way, as a District, that we can advance the mission and vision of the educational experience and extracurricular activities for students The way I read politics feels like what Hey We really don't care when I me The tone is fixed in other districts They are completely different specifying what can be done Regarding sponsoring the rights of Buy if you can buy these signs We may be talking about barriers that we are putting here And that feels like the wrong thing to do. taxpayers requesting funds for capital construction We are relying on

162our families and community partners for give us extra resources and the State of Colorado does not adequately fund I know that there are schools, whatever they may be. different opinions about the then Chevron is financing contributing an engineering wing athletic facilities are here behind in some way and we need Use it if we want to use less. dollars from our general fund to some work we're doing. we want to maximize the dollars of the bonuses if we have a 20-year plan for maintenance in construction capital I I think we need to be more active in that There are many improvements to this policy in this area. I know that there are things that could be done. many different ways that can Receiving this sponsorship is important think about what we can achieve with community and

163business support that We have not only for I believe as potech the program of engineering the food industry We have many employers, a lot. that we could help improve the I think it's a good facility policy with which to begin the line then there is a sample of caspi for that No, someone has looked at a sample they like from other District certainly with the Council discussion we can do that research and provide samples that are consistent with the values ​​expressed by the Council So if President Rash for his statement reflects the disposition of the Council I think we can find examples that Kitty and Jason could work together. Alex differs then this K then Jason Alex and then I'm going to name Bet Yo I agree, in particular, given the financing situation we have

164in the state that either way Well we need to explore all the fundraising possibilities I I can anticipate and It's not a point, the number eight that claims to participate with companies or individuals whose actions are inconsistent with the district's mission the community goals or values ​​that It can cause a lot of controversy and I I notice there's a review committee because We have listened to the people because What is university X going to do this? business with that company That company is horrible. I have questions about review committee is a committee permanent is to chance. Those are the only two. I don't think this committee at the moment then it operates It would be if we had this sponsor or if we are looking We're going to do something about that part, a review.

165I suggest that if the council is open, that kind of This strategy is to receive this sponsorship to name that we think of a policy that allows I agree that there are companies that That type of agreement and society helps. to move forward It would be more of a business agreement correct potentially, because one can name it whoever it is can sponsor whatever it is has worked that the high schools have sold the names to their stadiums When I went director, we sold rights to name stadium 4 years this for 000 and a certain percentage was the fund of preservation Atlético, we could dedicate that to This is the title expenses for to balance those kinds of things or this equalize the opportunity, I don't know how many schools They want to do that if

166only the atmosphere that we have right now, but if we want Search in a way I think that kind of sponsorship is aggressive. that there are groups we can use if would want to do things like that if they they saw it as an opportunity otherwise there are some potential schools that do receive it and some schools that don't because there are certain schools that have Y-connections that way would not be equitable So if they want to go in that direction We need to write the policy for to encourage that and do it in conjunction with a regulations about how we're going to I can ask a question and I think that was Jason and Alex to do Follow-up with Dr. Anderson normally They take a part of any I want to know or have

167information about of the value how easy is it to hire one company that will take a share of those We don't have funds This self can feel like very detailed challenges or we need to think about the positive aspects negative for the system Yes if it is a new strategically we need to hire someone who can do it is different knowing how to participate with the In business, there's a whole strategy for look for that type of sponsoring then there are different teams that sell this information in the one on the fence or on the gate or At least one person can write this the application or the call for a so that people don't receive money Unless we receive the money, it's not a decision of business policy must be written to explore things

168I think would be a very strategic strategy very different than joining a committee that It's probably a little difficult and It would probably prevent someone from us Give Jason something, that's more of a logistics question on the topic of write policy that gives more the Welcome and it's less hsil as it has we have mentioned society several times We're going to include the guides in this. limitations, but we'll frame it. how we want to work in partnership with the community to search these community funds instead of Having a separate policy, I don't know if that's right. A question for Klino, I think that is this something of business is a business agreement, not So I think that part of sponsor and there are This is something that fits with politics about naming or giving a

169name to the We have facilities if we could have someone who is browsing That's what we can give them as advice, I think. That should be separate because that way it will be very clear about how we do things because if we start naming certain things not And if at any time a school I was going to name the stadium, all the others. They were going to do it Not working in partnership. Yes, but that's more than one business proposal and to I extend that it is happening in the State From Colorado. I don't know about my experience with that. It was in a large district in Florida. But I was searching online and I seems that the people who helped us still They are operating as a business Then there are businesses that can

170help. with that kind of thing, Alex and Then I repeat, I support getting more funds but I'm curious How does this donation contribute? 50 euros for a sign in the stadium of baseball, so what Dr. is talking about is baseball. Anderson is more money, we want to know or I'm going to solve both levels agreement we certainly have a member from the primary community that can be an exciting or fun role But while I have to say I I support the nine points I worked on in the space of the charter schools and there is fierce interest in public schools in that. So I wouldn't do it at full speed, we're... selling I think we're all going to wait This is a fierce community participation intense if we don't have guidance on that because there

171are people who don't want to have advertisements in public education And then if we are This is the exemption that we are implementing recar fond One sees many signs in different places No. So I think we can... contribute that to the accountability committee Atlético was mentioned in that conversation. Kathleen feels that she has the information that you potentially need to rewrite this policy or I need more clarification. attempt Yes, I mentioned Beth. I want to see her before... to finish all that I had I appreciate the opportunity, nothing. It's important, I'm going to echo what they were saying It's important, as Kiri said, we need We need money to encourage people support us of course and I like how Rob is speaking, who is a business I also thank Alex for his point of view.

172have guidance and not follow it too much this we are here for Prioritizing public education is all many Thanks, that concludes that topic. this tonight, members of the Council, we are going to continue with The topics of study we have are this resolutions to protect families immigrants, students, and staff LGBTQ In view of our environment, thank you president at the last meeting There was discussion in this council last week. about of articulate this for our schools and families after the election that may have raised concerns for many members of the community I gathered the resolutions that the boards have adopted since 2016 We have four in 2016 directly after the choice the board at that time adopted a specific resolution to face what they titled as Fears after the election are quite simple and it's

173included here for consideration in 2019 there was additional concerns about the immigration and how the country was handling that in At this moment the board adopted a resolution 19 gu 27 dealing with immigrant families and The proposed solution was to communicate to the families that we are not collecting or maintaining information about the We are very clear on our immigration status What we expect from the directors do what if officers show up migration federal agents then went to give advice to families and guide schools. They were confronted with a immediate concern in 2021 in response to News: the board again adopted another resolution supporting the families immigrants and we are This focus in the legislation this and the The last resolution was adopted in 2022 and the State of Colorado I was focusing on the

174standards of There was much debate in social studies around the law of Colorado teaches inclusive history which includes everyone's contributions the groups Including the groups marginalized historically the council adopted a resolution supporting the community LGBTQ and what will it be for? Of course, the State Board adopt standards Those are even the resolutions previous ones that for schools and also for the community, those are here for You brought up the topic for discussion of the advice and consideration if you I would like to give directions for a resolution at this time and with that I anticipate your discussion board members begin Jorge, thank you for sharing that, Kathin. I think it's very important to observe the work that other boards have done to I think that addressing these issues right now... My mind is living this.

175Same themes again. And there are many in the community that are nervous around This is understood because there is vulnerable people spaces in Our schools are being expanded those same groups that have been this This has been focused throughout these years and I think we can reiterate those same points. commitments to provide the same information I know that people are doing You ask if it's a safe place, what What support avenues do we have? What ability have our schools to provide access to the effort or restrictive policies Which groups have been at that point? focus on immigrants and students LGBTQ or people who have been affected by policy changes we want to assure or guarantee the people in our community in our schools so they know that Their rights are respected. respected and are being

176protected And I believe that in these resolutions this There are different key parts but Specifically, how we are working actively to provide environments inclusive and safe for these I think something was missing from the populations. of these resolutions that perhaps we will The question to explore is to what extent the populations that are being potentially Persuas, this adds value to our community, how much do they add to our community that all the value that they give to our community and recognize how us They are like them, they are part of our community and raise that point, that's a message that I think we should add within these relationships that was missing I would also like to add this This group is a minority because we have I've had a phobia about Islam and I I

177know believers in in in this and people This antisemitism, although people don't They are being discriminated against or saying a certain name to her face the People here feel harassed. daughters identify as Jewish because Her father is Jewish, and if they have noticed and feel that way. I know others People have done it and also talked about it on the importance of value individual for each person there is no people whose value is higher or lower of any other Yes, I agree with everyone. my colleagues and the points they've made The only thing I would like to include is that We may see changes in policies at the federal level, but there are still laws very clear federal laws that protect to children and the responsibilities of Federal Government of the Laws federal I think

178these This resolutions are based on guarantees federals of the Federal Law so that the students, I don't know, I have a I have an understanding of this, but I think you know more than that. I know that the policies change But there are federal laws this fundamental ones that they offer protections to a wide range of students and I want people They know that we this This is what we want I believe that this is to comply with these laws. That's important to note as well, and then Alex, I think one of the things which I would also like to include That's the difference between this the police and I think immigration is a important component for the community can understand why not I know what's going to happen next. administration and where this comes

179in I know there is a military corps here The difference is that people know that There is a difference between the police and immigration so that people can feel a little more protected and CR If I look at religion included in this I know that babies don't tolerate it. no discrimination based on disability race creed sex color gender this sexual orientation gender identity national origin religion ancestors education services Special. I don't know if we're missing something there. I don't know if I should specifically say religion. and not just include it in a list I hear what You say I appreciate this discussion and I know which is a very good time that I am agreed to speak and mention all the groups particularly that They feel that they are a source of... They are attentive,

180but I want to call two. points, and this includes bullying student to student using our anti-harassment policy and policies of bullying because this is deeply ingrained within our culture and I know that There are people who will be here this acting But there are policies that we have I want to reinforce that. I also want to talk about... something to the point of jasen about the federal laws that We also have where we are protecting our students under the law Ah, from the state of Colorado and politics We have this one for babies very simple interpretation of title nu We have legal opinions on the Things about trans people. And if We only hope that title nine and federal laws do not we can say that we have a certain policy x that complies under

181this Law Federal I also want to add this district policies and state laws because when we want to defend a We can return to laws. federal and with others we can say the department of Education or the but of civil rights. That is, not only to say ah the district policy says It is not discrimination against children We don't need the new title if we're going to change That's what Kiri, I was saying at the point Alex's and put something that despite any any changes that may come in laws or policies at the Federal level, uh, us We will maintain our commitment to our non-discrimination policies and all that some other comment while she considers her resolution or suddenly Alex, I don't know if this is for resolution. but a broader thought of Health Mental

182health and support for our students How would this manifest itself in our schools ensure that it is enforceable as part of our services that we are providing and creating that it may come in the days to the next few days like this because the children They are scared Yes, how are we going to face this challenge and make sure we stay focused on the beliefs of the district in order to protect our families And I think the students deserve it. send that clear and direct message a way that reduces the and that this increases a feeling of security in our Alex community I don't know if we put this a lot of work in the hands of and the time that they have taken to respond relatively quickly then Mia, I don't know if we

183can talk for a little while. Regarding Jorge's point, perhaps it will help to the families so that they can feel more I like that they feel that immigration isn't going anywhere. to impact impact slabs if we and We as a district can this to motivate mayors to This is going to the police and saying that they They are here to enforce the laws to protect as police officers but not are immigration and if I've heard this Mike Johnson talks about that which he He said it very eloquently, but also from another point of view The mayor of Aurora isn't saying anything. I don't know if How can we connect? I think that's it. things yes It's important to be a leader and I want to speak and reiterate this at the meeting with the city

184of Bolde with University They from Colorado have made commitments around is what you are saying I know that the city of Berer and other places we can talk about That said, this is somewhat tangible when going I want to tell a little related story. I don't remember the year, but it was the story year that Obama He was running for re-election Against Romney and I was this working as a volunteer in Eldorado and I looked at two girls, one in first grade and One was crying and the other said Obama is a liar and he tricked me into thinking he was a liar. what those children heard probably their parents talking and How wonderful it would be to be able to communicate with the community to be careful with it They say in front of

185their children because I don't think any parent would like that your child felt so, so... emotionally as hurt as this girl for a choice especially in situations where there is so much division that we really don't want to go through. that to our Children Thank you board members For Our commitment to support everyone our our community this ends the eh study articles now we will talk about future articles This is the things we want to include in our next meeting requirements of I have a graduation I know I talked about this with the do Anderson says this is interesting but We received an email from the community with the idea that of the ones so ready for kindergarten transition to kindergarten what some states have been doing for that change from preschool to kindergarten so

186they are Ready for those who qualify for preschool, a little more support and time suddenly not a type of class of kindergarten Raising the needs of our students if we look in this and we can do a Update on what we found, eh To find out what the next ones are Steps What are the barriers that we I come from doing other things that others Alex is doing I want to provide a I think the amendment capture the gifted and talented board discussion Regarding this topic, I want to expand a broader discussion of as We are doing how they benefit students of the acceleration and the framework of this is capturing where we were going with this discussion that is not necessarily not getting to other matters which are important for the board, I think

187it is There, but I'd like to expand on that and listen to the comments I appreciate that you talked about this Alex and I had a conversation quite robust with respect to the talented and gifted and other things that may fall within This is like acceleration different instructions for the students and I think it would be very good for information on an update But I hope What else regarding recommendations? What would be the next steps, not only updates in the spirit of that we talked about last time in Prioritize. Elevate this again. anticipation is that something from bringing it to calendar with Dr. Anderson that He's raising his hand. I would say that I would like the members of the meeting at the prioritization that we have to see the prioritization meeting to have the

188context conversations and topics because of For example, if the title says update of talented and gifted people who know that Other topics will be covered herein conversation and that the board can have information some other article members of the board Alex, another possibility is that perhaps he is covered in other things but based on the discussion of what kh and in the discussion of the and the aids to have an understanding more of how they can be raised funds and the funds that and How we can use the funds we can generate for what purpose? How and what is it for? one of those deepenings in the long term but but in order to be able to really get into the flesh of the finance Jason, well, our conversation about the There is another cell

189phone policy broader conversation Um, what kind of protections are we going to Let's say we're going to talk about the school computers uh the the personal, all these things are the Next step in the conversation: How It will be seen This is a 2.0 technology update or if there are things left that we must bring to the forefront in this process members of the Thank you for another night of Tuesday I think this concludes on Thank you for our session today.
