004among the policies that best protects our students and our employees in their ability to study And to learn, I present to you our title coordinator, see you soon It's because these have just emerged policies and maybe you the First tip: review these We're going to start our policies tonight. with a general review of the three laws that we are going to capture in update of our policies we have reviewed these policies Two years ago and Colorado is still very active legislatively we are going to to talk about two Colorado laws and the Visions, let's review title nine I remind you that when we reviewed the frame of reference of our policies, the main one is the policy It establishes non-discrimination. and equality of opportunity requires by federal law in response to all the titles that

005are associated with civil rights title 6 title nu and Title 10 and with this "We are a major legislative issue, let's go..." to review the implications for Our policy Good evening members of the Council President rash Superintendent Anderson, I really liked it. We're going to review the regulations here. This new title is something exciting for This board of directors to give them a little context before the In 2020 we had a body of laws that very differentiated under the administration of President Obama once the District Schoolchildren receive a report from discrimination has the obligation to There is much to respond to and remedy. differentiation in this body of laws in We had a new statute regulatory with a high level of processes which were mandatory and our District took a very specific approach to question

006of the alleged pleading or of of Buing during the administration of President Biden, we're back, but not fully on the premise that the districts has a little more flexibility in terms of the way they respond sexual harassment It is a hybrid between the two bodies We have interestingly developed legislative processes. continued implementing the 2020 regulation and That will continue to be the case because the the new regulations are coming into in force on the first of August of 2024 in the event that the district receive reports of alleged violations to new title we're going to regulate them by the legislation of 2020 and until the first of July the new title regulations nu9 intend to describe what that's what This is considered sexual harassment and it creates even more protection for our students is more

007aligned with our laws of the State of Colorado Let's talk about 2000 296 later then we are already more uniformed between state laws and Federal laws allow us more Flexibility When reporting We saw how things went with the harassment. regulation of In 2020 I responded according to my age different incidents of conduct that They happened in our schools too requires that the employees receive annual training for our employees and reporting any harassment is mandatory sexual and we're going to increase is to have more robust training for the next school year 2024 2025 also requires that we love if we have an individualized plan of education because we have to take into account consideration of all factors that affect behavior and how to support our students within our schools essentially SB 296 runs parallel to the

008one that requires supplementary and other requirements complementary aspects this that These are the school districts our expectations about how they should respond with incident reports discrimination and Harassment if there is a report of Mala behavior that also sets a standard lower than title nu that establishes What constitutes an accusation, it doesn't have to be pervert a simple action can constitute discrimination or harassment requires a separate policy from Title 9 and the same as the rules of Title 9 requires annual training for our employees requires that our reports We still don't know about confidential matters. Exactly when will this take effect? requirement but We are required to report it annually to Colorado Department of Education and the number of incidents that have been We will have more information on those reported. once we hear more about

009the legislation and I'm finally going to speak about Colorado's Power Act specifically protects the workers in training labor ref bu this refers specifically to Our employees have a definition reviewed harassment that is both objective This is important because, subjectively, this is important because we have seen in Colorado the need for public entities that recognize subjectivity and identity Both have a role in our respective if the work environment is Hostile harassment behaviors do not have to See, there don't have to be several, just a simple one incident is sufficient to qualify as harassment and should be taken into account when Tom ions for hiring or if this represents creating a hostile environment of These are my jobs the three laws that we are going to review and They all intersect and I'm going to ask to

010ci that continue with this comprehensive network of laws I had hoped to be able to bring you 10 policies that would be impacted because of this trio of laws but the reality It's hard work, it takes a lot of time time for us to use language That's right, we're going to share it with you. some of these policies as mentioned This first policy It makes an arch which includes several includes both the students like our employees in terms of red flags that we have put up definition throughout the three laws them we put within the policy of AC so they can identify it with ease regarding what these mean In terms, this is a policy and this is a process that the bodies legislators want to make accessible for all our students and for our

011employees, but it's really written in a very We will try to improve the legal aspects. This understanding of these laws is in the page number one underlined in red may be the district has always identified other areas such as protected areas in We protect against bolder discrimination or harassment based on characteristics physical as well as other areas that were added we will see throughout other laws there have been other groups that We are suggesting classes so that be specifically iated and this has has been very consistent with other policies of the Tip on this slide, don't... They have them, but the red line has them. policies we have added immigration status There's always room for improvement in migration. vocabulary And you are very aware of not mentioning citizenship family composition I think that It was

012something we already talked about. importance of recognizing all our families in our community we make sure to have a comprehensive list of protected groups and see a list that repeats as review the policies just so that Let's be clear. Yes. Tell me, and that's a topic of interest to the community But I wonder about the idea of add neurodiversity in this neurodiversity list Thank you very much for your comment. Nice to meet you, I can take any feedback while I talk to This advice and meeting these needs two elements We try to capture in These red lines first when you see that We have seen a reference that is outside of the law wherever it exists when We ask our schools to our administrators who follow the law How to determine that the law has

013been It's been done, but it looks very legalistic and difficult to access and the other thing we try to What to do is align everything that wasn't very The language that was not useful for to ensure that this policy is high level such as the definition of no discrimination for sit high expectations when discrimination or harassment with the aim of Understanding these policies: What is the difference between discrimination based to disabilities Well, I understand and I'm more familiar with it. more familiar with a student with disabilities Good That's in the statute of the laws of Colorado But I don't think it's necessary if you already have. is included in disability, not it have that specify and we can the advice can decide, Kiri, tell me Well, as I mentioned before, I sent a couple of

014suggestions for improvement I have a couple of questions about language. about And another thing, the definition of harassment in AC and the definition of harassment in JD HB number six in AC in definitions speak And you already did mentioned is subject to the individual who alleges that he suffered harassment, but it has to be two, both of them things not just one yes And that language is I obtained it directly from the statute, yes, I I imagined that's how it was It was and at the points below subject to the conduct or communication is it specifically or does it imply the individual participation But in what in your educational program or activity This refers to a student if a student harasses an employee yes So how the conditional term to participation of an individual applies

015in this situation Well, for example, if a teacher is being harassed by a student that Her ability to present herself is impressive. comfortably and safely in a This affects the work environment. Oh well. I was interpreting that a little differently I already clarifies on page 3 number 11 sexual harassment refers to sex-based harassment and other forms of harassment types of harassment, contact between the participants who allege harassment or discrimination and I don't think I'm Are you sure I understand? This relates to being part of something like a definition based on harassment based on good sex That language needs to be changed That shouldn't be part of this. Ah thanks for Mark it as good and on the next page It's 11 but And I asked someone else to see if I wasn't reading some harassment

016authorized by the employee who is authorized to receive What is education? a good district receiver. It's a term It's legal, but we're going to change it because that This makes it inaccessible, as Cat mentioned. to provide a low benefit he Well, that's a specific definition. under the law I see it later on page 5 of paragraph where it says about district any employee or applicant or member of the public who believes he has been a victim of discrimination requires filing a complaint But how do we make a member of the public? that fills a The complaint members of the public have opportunity to arrive one The complaint must be good. Well, this is very impossible to Implementing is all that Thank you, those observations are very helpful. useful under definitions could you by we are

017seal In definitions we have harassment number six and to final lack of good ways Annoying does not constitute harassment. What is the The purpose of having this part here is that be This is part of the legislative language in The Powers act. Very good, thank you, and low measures of I support You have to be listed on that list. That's my question. I would be... favor to name them as support measures or none at all and I can think of 10 more that I would like to see there, but not if we don't have to list My question is, we have to... List them in excellent policy question we have developed including with the advisors of State a menu of support measures that It is more extensive than what is reflected in We will talk

018about this definition. further forward We also have another part where... speaks Regarding connections with the school, I would like understand what it means That's not something accessible to a person who is not in education is something we can define "nexos" means "must have a connection" direct from impact if something happens outside the school that doesn't have that doesn't have no relationship with school is something that the necessary school entity would be capable of taking action when we see what has been explained the new title is good is being replaced at a very high threshold and We want to see what the language is. common to see all the behaviors that would have an impact on the schools can be an act of of bullying by phone text It is not related, there was no conduct

019Misconduct worry if there is nothing related then we would try to identify that "nexo" is more typical when something like That happens in schools. we see in the schools How are they Students are impacted more If it happens outside of school, we have that have a cognition, but we need to clarify that language, yes definitely, why not It is clear, it is not clear to him advice and it won't be clear to him Thank you to the audience for this Jason's explanation: Yes, thank you very much. I also wanted to comment on measures of I support this because the definition is very broad. and to more specific things me It worries me for several reasons when I see the examples because language says it can include more but not limited There may be very limited

020flexibility. oa whether we could define or leave it very general to the to principle in the top He says it in a very general way, and sometimes very specific and well my concern We should also include this I would like to make further comments on the list regarding policy as it currently exists and they were asking to clarify about measures support and I fell into a bottomless pit trying to explain but I was left with agreement to remove part of the phrases our students want know what support measures they have They want to be very clear about what access they want to have. politics we can refer to What can I access? Which ones? These are my rights pointing them out the menu options as the group already discussed but we have to be conscious

021help our students to access help when the existing need with everything we have spoken at this point in a language I agree with the general political situation. We need to direct people to the place That's right. But somehow we put a very long list of things, but if they're going to see this list of support list of support things but These are not clear. And if we have one list definitive with Clarity both for the public as well as for employees and I am According to Nicole's comments This has been consistent with what we have done in policies either here or Elsewhere we need to think about how We listed these measures, and what type of We can give our guide teachers talking about the same topic me remember that what about A support measure

022is sometimes possible. can be determined by the student even though it is not on the list that we have can, that is, we already say can including but not limited to Yes definitely part of what we are trying to do that is when it fills up The students' report is something traumatic and they go and remain in a state of shock is one of the measures but we have to know that there is a lot Flexibility, that can be very, very useful While the student goes to that process of reporting it and based on what You say it makes a lot of sense when they are Traumatized people in shock cannot think clearly what would be a measure of Support suggestion Yes but we also have very strict regulations I'm sorry for the students. I

023want to assure you that we are returning to The students. But on the page of help for students on the site There are links to information on the internet about We're reviewing title nine again once to ensure that all materials of training is there by federal law They need to be there to ensure that students can easily access that information Alex, this is a question for... I don't know exactly where to clarify. I'll go with that, but those are measures of support for the person who has experienced this harmful there interventions complementary for the one who is provoking all the students or all the parts Those impacted may receive these measures The law provides support. This single term for the students even if they are causing or suffering from potentially behavior with the change in

024the law I'm asking, I feel that we should expect an increase in the reports because of the language then I wonder how we're thinking about it. staff changing practices for accommodate the change increase in quantity given the change in the language of the law Good question, we receive reports under the regulations of In 2020 there was a complaints process this additional things that the conduct had to possibly reach a higher threshold We have more complaints about Title Nine. number of misconduct incidents that We receive shouldn't change that much. It depends on how we classify the type of a process that we are obliged to Creating that is how we're taking that into account. I would say that it's there under the regulation immediately preceding that He was paying attention to the person's role, huh? of

025the in in the process the researcher the person who makes decisions now does not It is required, then, when one notices in politics under this number four of the designated much of the behavior that We notice that in schools investigated, faced, supported by a leader in the building with our guide and support in the event that there is something that is harming that adult who plays that role or there is more obligations and people we have the ability to conduct research direct when appropriate to do so line as a follow-up to this if We have a school leader or a leader of department that is dealing with that in instead of a complaints officer we are running the risk [Music] that we have had in the past that the leadership is not doing a good

026job work, then it's not clear what it is what the new regulations are saying as soon as When a complaint arises, it doesn't go to or and can the director or still go to L so that she can designate with who under the new the new regulations still need to be work with the degree coordinator Nine, there is still a title process There are nine requirements that we have to comply in particular with 2 in relation with 296 There are new laws that have created better legal support and requirements for Follow the School District when it comes to support students, that is define in the materials of training and the guidelines or guide that We give as to the administrators and how they have to respond and There is still investigation into the title coordinator

027nu but what says the new There are still regulations centralized title coordinator nu to monitor all complaints but to because of the way we have expanded the scope we understand that we need designated that they are investigating at the site level to handle the new expectations when it comes to the answer or the Research, that's the difficult part for me. If there is a designated person who reports because of its structure it is different than the level of the school administration in Cent and so much schools we have designated who are deputies of coordinators of Title Nine or are the directors the director is the designated and the one in charge of department is the designated one with regard to handle the investigation for that type of I'm going to express my concern about harassment,

028no. I am in favor of So, while we continue, let's talk about I think so. that the expectation Right now We have a button to report harassment school We also have a form for bullying. ace2 which is a requirement We have to have that complaint form, both of them They have a specific path in between from the district all the complaints made two I'll check this one, or the officer will. compliance is also reviewed by stakeholder work of title nine we have the data of discipline that we are reviewing with the Department of Education and the Office We took the data from civil rights behavior and we reviewed them once to the month with me with L Brandell or others district members who work with the behavior of the students and we are using data

029on infin campus with the specific behavior to be able to Advise. How are we seeing if we have the appropriate answer and we are finalizing the details if I hear your We have a responsibility to worry about this. As he told them, to ensure that compliance officer really It works in a way that allows us to monitor the designated Then when one says The designated person is not a person. Oh, I see. We have delegated and you do what wants to, eh, it works, a I'm removing how this council works. school with a council advisor, that's the information that we want you to Review. So if you're ready members of the Council the regulations which changes the AC board's policy That's the implementation part of politics AC we have limited language we have language that

030was removed irrelevant we have moved the language substantive a a c and this regulation I really know focus on being consistent with the others regulations Regarding the steps, step one, two, three... It is also a requirement, as I mentioned. uh, AC policy is a policy global and then section 504 which is protection for people with There is fixed protection for disabilities. This is for one hearing and that's why it's noted in the part of below I have some questions regarding to I know that in the part about as-r and a- R-2 are talking about sex-based harassment that occurred between August 20 and August 2024, uh, that would be useful to say why we know why but when a parent member of the public is Focusing on that, that seems very... randomness having it there would

031be useful under general procedures for receiving a Reporting if it is true constitutes discrimination or harassment under the policy They are going to meet with the individual affected when it is reasonably It seems possible that's what he's saying. They need to know if it's true beforehand. to meet the individual the way to write but It makes no sense whether one knows or not if it is The intention of this language is indeed to say we must ensure What type of argument is being made? The compliance officer would try if report My student needs to return. to do the job because the officer was absent Compliance doesn't address that issue, that's what I think. It confused me. Then I was quite confused. I'm sure it didn't have the meaning as I understood it lower during the

032conference and the points the third the district has the obligation under the law It doesn't matter if the individual lifts a formal or other complaint requests action to take Steps to avoid discrimination harassment against someone who does a a report without anyone having made a report How do you know how to take them? steps that are to try one can raise a formal written case She says that happened to me and I want the There's that part of the research, and then... I too experienced something similar, I suffered that. at school. It's not necessarily there. saying it is not known what they are raising one complaint, but they are having a conversation about an incident of This harassment gives the District the ability to Taking those steps makes sense. low resolution informal Can the compliance

033officer deny I'm requesting a request. Sorry, I'm eating popcorn deny an application for the process informal if there is any reason to Doing so is not appropriate or suitable. have we tried in the past or is there a power dynamics that make us uncomfortable creating an informal resolution is based on discretion based on That's what I thought about the circumstances. Both parties really want that, but if compliance officer based on your expertise He says, based on his expertise, he can say no Let's make it formal or the circumstances They're not really in the best interests of all the parts then on the page The last paragraph before agencies outside of process amplia applies to the unless another procedure applies policy etcetera must say something about the another policy that is more current because It is

034possibly another policy that We haven't updated yet because example that is in conflict is reading the paragraph below hearing procedures the medium This process will apply at least that the context otherwise requires or another rule procedure applicable statute at the event in such event the other agreement I honestly believe that it applies. The sentence he read is not necessary if Let's make that as understandable as possible It seems possible to me. Okay, then Alex I believe it is extremely important that you Remove any barriers to reporting that we can report is difficult for that People: Who have been victims And first I would like to understand that We are encouraging people to report and not by discouraging reporting we want that the language is very clear around that which we are not going to Telling

035them is much more difficult if one He makes a formal report because I have I've heard that the students have received this The message is much more difficult for We as a District, if they do a formal report and we have to do it as easy as possible to make that report and That's what I want to talk about on page four. These are statements from a witness to incident and that made me think about the previous document we were looking at the document AC and on page 6 of the document AC there is a concern for me that We're sending a message, let's see. It is possibly page 4atro that We are communicating a message. Sorry. I need to look at the clean one, I don't want to see he So then I'm looking

036at document AC. in the page 6 the second paragraph under third paragraph paragraph under district action I am not Safe for students or employees. Who? They raise false accusations in a research are subject to We have a big problem with discipline. those false accusations that need specifying it we are sending a message again that we are not sure Whether we want people to report or not I want it to stay Of course I want to eliminate any Barrier to a person reporting all that here about accusations we are false talking about someone who does a false testimony when during a interview or that a person is accusing falsely another person something of that me It's been a long time. uncomfortable in the document of Corrections are under action by district, I appreciate your comments here

037That's what I'm going to say about the language I know there is a new definition of false accusations and I have I think that reviewing my sources will help. It comes from Caspi but I'm not sure. This language I think It has also been there for a long time. a Colorado law that is very specifically about whether a student makes a false allegation against a There are statutory protections for teachers. If they're fixed, then I have to look at the... language. And then we can talk more. about I have a system in place for that, yes. someone makes a false accusation against Knowing that is a form of harassment, no if someone is harassing actively by making accusations false then possibly that's it involved in that type of Alex's language, I think, still We're waiting

038for it. I have a lot. sympathy with the the argument you are proposing is We are not putting up more barriers in how much to discourage slabs report in the spirit of power to ensure that we are encouraging reporting the majority of Reporting language: It's that the person The person affected is making a report And we have a lot of hate lbq we have to have the little children a lot be careful, we're not always trying the individual's are possibly other stakeholders I understand what she was saying And Nicole, what are you saying? Because what comes to mind is, if a student who may have a history trauma abuse sexual He feels that he knows that people aren't going to... believe because that That's the message we can send to the children who possibly are

039sexually abused and need Say it if no one believes you. You have to keep going. saying but many children who have Those who have suffered that type of trauma have the hope that they won't believe them or They think it won't happen to them Believing otherwise is not possible false allegations because it is also traumatic at the end of the AC policy We have a mailing list. electronic telephone numbers directions in the other policies We've removed them, we're going to keep them here because we have to do it or because it's something We have an obligation to give that, we have been in the past. Contact information for agencies Outside the district, I think it we have in politics ace1 we can also possibly leave them there ace1 only with the regulations and he language

040the schedule when that timeline expires and we can remove that language and we are only working With the new policies we have a reminder I know you have the privilege to withdraw that language When that moment... But we know when the old language could be removed I don't think we can say when students can report the harassment they have suffered in any at what point in 10 years if they report that to It happened, we have to investigate and There is no limitation to responding to the report. of the deadline 2 years after turning 18 We know that this is something that has changed over the years. in Colorado because we have had legislation for allow them to rise this previous complaints And we have had difficulties with the Constitution, that's why We haven't changed,

041that's policy. that we are freezing so that eventually that regulations can be withdrawn but for improve practices in the district We need a clear policy which can be understood to be very good designed after a long time working with other districts there are districts that They are creating six I believe that a student doesn't have policies. You don't need to know the letters magical so that they will listen to it We have definitely heard your tonight's opinions on how best We serve the people impacted by that type That's what we want to do about behavior. in narrowing the focus to those three policies It establishes regulations for investigating and the final policy which is jd HB and I appreciate That's because we send the public to staff to many addresses for investigate further what we

042can clean that up I appreciate it and I believe that make something clear at the beginning and then The details below prevent that. They have to go to a document, then to Then one thing, then another. That's a comment. for follow-up later as a member I receive from the School Board Sometimes these reports of bullying and harassment... I'm trying to pass on that information. I can't find the magic button on the website I don't I don't I find it easy to report that information if we have it anywhere I would love to see it printed. that we are actively educating the people about what to do once the person sends email to members of the school board have been absent c previous steps K then the mess is a Good point, and I know Tina

043Mar before People say Google what one wants See why you won't find it in the website, that's a matter that we've had for quite a while finding the things I would also suggest in How it relates I know that other districts have had I'd like to see these flow tables. this this The table is reported here, that's all. that could happen, those are the things that They were able to pass after. Here are the schedules because all of that is detailed for us and I would like that it was published sooner possible because we've been at it for more than 2 years I think the flow table that HE The advice is recommended on the website of internet title nu and we are based in that information we are implementing a flow table to be

044implemented before the next school year. Thank you. for indicating that the last policy we're going to look at now I know they're happy not to have 10 We already have an anti-bullying policy and We haven't touched it in several years Colorado had a force, a group of I am working on a new policy anti-bullying anti-bullying We also want to align the bullying language with AC policy that recently We spoke to ensure that we have united. the specific project requirements Senate law 296 which requires a separate policy because That's why we need more language about it. bullying itself members of the member of the board Sergeant indicated that we have variants in AC's definition of harassment, we'll go correct that and then we'll have focused on ensuring that we are clear regarding behavior prohibited from specifying

045the commitment to prevent harassment and to ensure that We made ourselves clear in How are we doing? talking about what will happen, the steps to investigate, file a complaint, and tensions and we have included the timeline that member qu had referenced if with that policy we are going to remove jd hb gu e which is a list of I think this board has checked indicated the lessons we have learned how to improve policy We don't want to include something that will We are focusing closely on changing politics and then we'll have more guidelines regarding the lists we are going to to ensure that you can see that guides the implementation in replacing That one, and on that list of those things They would be available online, not in La regulation if it is Okay, I

046have a question about It's on page 3 in the section on research reports paragraph 3 where says all master administrators and personnel who receive a report also This includes employees who are not included in those groups specific and if I couldn't say all of them. employees or if there are some who perhaps They are not required to take the actions required to put a stop to That behavior should be I think the idea with this is specified. language is Who are the ones in the building with the students but Of course we can use that term more generally because yes, someone else can Yes, definitely, we'll be there and we'll talk about I have questions about acr2. I'm happy to be back. That's okay, but for now we're going to finish this Jason's politics Go

047ahead. Yes, one question seems to be all language and references to bullying cyber on social media were removed and were replaced under the communication category is correct That's what I'm going to tell you. Colorado has suffered. much about a bedside law around the bullying when it was written It was in segments that really didn't connected and the harassment model in Colorado really united those definitions under the definition bullying behaviors can be communication that is written, physical, or visual any electronic message or That written definition will be visual. bullying is written so that all those parts fit together. It can also be audit I understand the verbal change but I just want to make sure that even so This heads all the things that can happen online because we cannot predict what will happen and I

048want make sure it includes all the aspects of the networks social Malenia, that makes me think what It's known as Deepfakes and I'm from agreement that is in a visual image are fake images and we want to make sure that our verb is very clear very Okay, sorry, I gave you the go-ahead and then Alex raised his hand. And again, I don't know. Where would that fit into politics? regulation or procedure but a a story I hear very often from Frustrated parents of a student who experiences bullying under that definition they report it to one of the professionals within the school and There is no evidence and the other child denies it. This happened, and in this world where children talk about behavior Bullying: What happens when a child says I'm being bullied and he

049Another child says No, that's not true, and none The adult sees how they do it, what is it that In that case, we act as a district and... Perhaps this could be a question about the procedure, but I think It is at the center of many complaints from the parents and cannot be documented and by That makes the parents feel completely moderate performance What is politics doing to address that? How we got there, I love that question, and that's part of our training and our conversations especially as an officer of compliance working one-on-one with the administrators who are really battling with different types of incidents our standards under 296 is that requirement of evidence So this means that the weight of a feather in one direction to the other It probably happened this incident and

050as you said it's something so She said this, he said that how can you We are putting in a lot of effort. in our training sessions conversations with administrators to make sure they are understanding that there is a body of full context that has to be considered and in gdh B we talked about That is the totality of the circumstances is not only a isolated incident and when they look at the incest, the circumstances, that's when can identify if it is more likely whether it happened or not, and we want to know. our administrators ensure that understand all the evidence and all the things that should be considering while they are browsing their answer for a result of the of the research and I would only add that with the Defenders of the program These

051people are from security. highly trained researchers and can support the administrators and the They provide support during the investigations, eh as something clear as an allegation of I just saw you push someone We talk about these very often. research practices we have regular meetings with the administrators and defenders of school safety and talk about which ones These are the best practices of Research and documentation by Alex quier just to follow up on that I have several reports from parents who The children were told that they must record the incident on your This phone puts the victim in unsafe situations or are violating policy to be able to do that but that I think that speaks to the millennial point and Noa politics that we shouldn't have anything there within that motivates people personal the administrators

052to bring to trial This to a to what the declaration of a child Then if We have if we have a policy no We want people to abuse to be able to exercise that policy. Because if If that were the case, we would eliminate all our policies rather So when you said it's without Without evidence, there are circumstances where There are investigations, and no, I mean, no. We were able to reach a result, it's not in We don't know what happened at that moment Our Alliance is that that's very, very It's rare for that to happen, I know it happens very often Often. Well, I don't know if very often. but with the accusations of sexual harassment and falls within the terminology when They say, "Oh, I don't think this happened." or I can't verify

053that this happened and that it's a place where people create the law They established some requirements for we the language without foundation the word specifically without foundation It is a requirement of the law and also of the Civil Rights that we I report allegations of discrimination of bullying or harassment in the classroom protected and that you disclose How many of Those were Ah, with evidence, Dr. Andersen. I just want to say that I am grateful There's a lot of talk about this topic There's a lot of passion surrounding this and you I would say exactly what you're saying. saying No adult in our schools should be telling children that they should to be recording any child of the school to record bullying or Bing and I'm telling you to send those people with me and

054in my experience as school administrator doing many There are times when research... The information is not as conclusive as you think. I'd like that, but you'll find another one. information you can use to act Where is the Monitoring Where is it happening Bullying, harassment, why are they alone Because there isn't an adult, I think there is. many things we can do to make our system will be more secure and works better and I want to leave it good clear to the public when we have incidents when our policies or the practices fail in our The system can send that to the director from the school to the superintendent to superintendent of the networks and follow So, Dr. Andersen, can you tell me or I am struggling to be able to say Remember what the numbers

055are Regarding bullying, the trend is Does it stay the same downwards or does it go one The increase would depend on where the numbers, we are already at the end of the year and We can look into that and be able to report it ourselves. I don't think there's any trend that this causing many These are problems, but in light of what We're talking right now, I don't know if there is incidents that are being reported or not Reporting what I can tell you is that I checked the website. And if there is one page that on the main page where It says help for students if You select it there in the part of Up there leads to bullying discrimination title nue a saf Tell us so we can report bullying and he harassment

056and I think we need to make sure. that we are always being very intentional with what we do and if I That helps button. students is on the main page decade school of all BDS schools It's in the part of Yes, it helps with the above. students And where is that diagram of I can't find the flow if you go to the Title Nine webpage There is sexual violence and prevention a list of resources in the section of Below, including the title videos nine that the students made the The flowchart must be attached to That, and if not, let me know and I can Update it and I would say this: This board She's had some very good talks tonight about How can we do this more easily? easy for our students and Our employees

057also hear it They're saying I know Randy Barber, the communications director, is thinking a lot about the law of accessibility that takes part in this and we are going to make sure that our Resources are very easy to find and that are very accessible Alex, and this is a little less about La regulation and more about work We're continuing to do this, and I think that in the spirit of community and understanding school, culture and climate and school data I know that incidents of reporting bullying and the resolution of those classes protected are very good questions for that a parent knows those answers to the school of a sac when they think about the uip or dac that reconsider so that when I say they tell us what we are doing to monitor Mental Health

058socio-emotional training and the volume of bullying and bullying perceived and harassment, I think this would be very important for it to be accessible to to key groups like Sax and parents and others groups we talked about the following ago gu r-2 This is the regulation that the The recommendation is to keep it in effect for that anyone who wants report an incident that occurred in that time understand exactly what that is process so that only the vital information, uh, this I still have some questions there. about that on page two under the definition The definition creator says district is designated by an individual that It was that he was received with what was given to him a position with the consideration of evidence contained in a report of research finding discovery to facts analyzing the

059provisions of the relevant policy to determine whether the allegations constitute a violation of the policy then under with the new title coordinator researcher That means no if those two people, possibly one of them the two no probably no maybe it won't be possible A title nine coordinator will be able to to be someone else and under This removes someone from an emergency. Point number three says that the answer a student the answer of a student poses a threat immediate to physical health or safety of any student or individual sounds like they are leading like a He threatens, and I know he's not saying it. that But then what he's saying is otherwise This one doesn't pose any threat, no. They're going to remove them, right? That's in the federal law and prohibition that is in

060against removing a student who He was charged with a title violation nine but we can Ah look a little More about that language on page 5 Where it says mandatory report it says that all district employees are required to report to suspicion or harassment current ones say that those people are not can maintain confidential for the ah for the police for law enforcement or services protection of children but yes to harassment It's not just a crime, rape. title nu because the police or Child protection would be because they involve them because we have to inform I think that's more related or less with the situation where in the event that if there is information to deliver something to the police in that case, meaning we won't be able to I think there's something about issuing

061them. clarify that language because before He gave classes on how report type incidents this implies This language This implies that perhaps that is the case and the recommendations from our local police These are things that we consider as sexual harassment that they say, for example trying to pull down a child's pants in those types of incidents We absolutely have to report it, yes. I agree. We can look at the language, but I would say the report Mandatory is completely a topic that It would be their own work session and something It is important to note that under that definition with a new title the definition of harassment Sexual assault includes sexual assault sexual and I prefer it to be very general and no, and this isn't a very precise division Because if that's the case,

062then maybe not. They are going to investigate on the page if in the part of down the part 4b Neither the complainant nor the one making the complaint says "Sorry" the one who responds are required to We know how to participate, like the "no" when we don't. There is participation from both parties the research result has an impact Yes, research can have an impact on circumstances that we are going to say there is a incident that H is and in compliance of the definition of sexual assault and results in a criminal charge but the The respondent replied, "This one doesn't want to." We base our decision to participate on this. of the result under the evidence we used all the evidence and discovery that We have them available. Okay, thank you. and briefly, board members

063We clearly have work to do. That's what we expected As we said, the regulations in fact They just came out and we've had a lot conversation around all the districts the lawyers but we hope to return all those policies that they We present tonight for the to the meeting towards the end of June and as part of this work we will be updating the two definitions of the GBA AA policy that applies to everyone the employees and jbb that applies to all the students and also We've talked a little bit about the compliance policies because we have learned how to best serve our community and like those, they don't have no deadline or something like that, we'll focus more on these other policies by the end of June so that they are Take action at

We divide them in the development socio-emotional development of adults communication skills to empower students and Us their that they operate in a safe community throughout the school and delving deeper into this, the development socio-emotional refers to in the in the most recent events For example, we see in these photos the District Shakespeare Festival Schoolboy Denver

071we had interpretation trilingual and also in English and Spanish and in Cantonese. And in that way the students They can explore, uh aspect socio-emotional communication and development of their identity through the theatre is something magical to observe as We had a Harry Potter camp where the children had to create a character and translate their emotions A through the characters this The image is reflected through art explores How use the techniques theatrical and these techniques that are implemented in high crime areas and poverty we carry out workshops puppets eh [Music] story writing and where they can You expose where they increase the recognition of their identity through of development It allows them to take risks and explore. their emotional connections with others in time They really respond like my emotions They impact how another person feels

074older students helping younger students Young people, what does it mean to be free and express yourself with freedom and the next slide is relates to We see empowerment as one of our students dressed as musical superhero and This gives us to show oneself without fear in the scenery and in this program all students different degrees of the school both the students who are in film classes or photography and the amount of creativity that is shown during these 24 hours is like something you've never seen yes to students 24 hours without sleep result is impressive was done through in This, for example, the characterization, for example, a man sitting in a banking and talking about their traumas emotional and that's what they did from the overnight because they are capable you told them to do it

075because you said You can in many areas, but above all In theater is when I can be a I can develop as a student leader. I can design this program and honestly compare myself to productions from Broadway and with resources that I have What can I do here at school? future and all this is thanks to the support from our community of some with from others and especially the support of teachers and students leaders and in that note the opportunity to student leaders include the community of Leadership as managers of networks social eh technology workshops led by Students, all of this is an integral part of the spectacle and above all this because nature empowers students who am I now who am I going to to become, and that is very important to strengthen our

076identity and to to use our voices and the values ​​that is acceptance love honesty and speaking of acceptance, no There is a safer place than I'm going to graduate from school at the end of This week, and this moves me. To the east Tell my friends that we've been together. for 4 years in this environment enriching where we have the opportunity to make mistakes until we encourage taking risks and You're going to try.

078one... Our next point is participation of the The public district respects the right of the public to talk about matters of functioning of the schools The board does not endorse the comments of I remind you that no speaker...

Hello. My name is I am Sofore in New Vista and because Lili had to We are a group of people going out research

079on opportunities bilingualism in We need education. bilingual and we interviewed students and others type of research to hear the voices of the people in the community to see what works better primary and secondary masters with different bilingualism programs and Both have positive impacts socially and Academically we see that they improve grades, attendance, and enthusiasm for learn the Native people of this region benefit A primary school student also said who wants to continue with the program Dual of language during our Vita a una we saw at the local district school that Many struggle with the program English as a second language specifically because they require more individual support in languages This program It has different levels language fluency Thank you our Next speaker Yadira López Hello, I am Campos ris soy sofore Nista spoke on behalf

080of Yadira, we did There are several ways to conduct an investigation Integrate bilingualism into the we saw that there are different schools needs and different ways of To cover them, each high school has its own program for example different adaptations And we have some tests standardized tests must be available to all students and has to require different skills and we suggest the integration of technological media in the language teaching and also brochures to make the information more available for bilingualism in the schools and We also have opportunities as clubs This helps with language students to break down barriers and that each high school can benefit from stronger support for the bilingualism seal to create a a more productive environment for those students who are bilingual or who They're struggling with English and this can enrich

081the experience in the school in In general, this allows them to expand their skills cognitive member I was going to talk about the team. about this, but he had to leave because of his job Thank you. We are also returning to you Or are we going to jump ahead to Daphne? Patrick Martin, the first four had to Good evening. I'm Patrick. Another recommendation we have is a district-level initiative support and encourage it a bilingual school East during the summer in Spanish this to win credits instead of recovering credits is benefits students in terms of the academic and promotes access equitable to the education instead of updating has the opportunity to to get ahead and another approach may be strengthen the celebration of bilingualism for primary, secondary and preparatory Many students are not feeling well. Speaking

082their native language at school In a global world we need to understand The power of being bilingual gives recognize that they deserve and encourage them Furthermore, studying bilingualism gives... more opportunities in Spanish and other languages languages, for example, a piece of advice We also know about multilingual students What are some extracurricular activities? important many bilingual students Multilingual people feel that they don't They belong. So that would encourage. a community and also a program for Future teachers: Who are bilingual? Those students can earn credits from the University of Colorado in its Department of Education finally a meeting this level bilingual staff district for Sharing best practices helps. to amplify the voices of the community encourage growth And that helps our initiative while we have a brainstorming session for the next steps The next person is Hamil.

083Centan is fine. Hello. Thank you for your time like my colleagues I am finishing my second year in this Nuvista, the research we have done This has helped us understand the These are the benefits of these studies bilingual students, multilingual students express the need This is for this support in the courses important and that's in the past recommendations that I'm going to share Dual language immersion help and need important courses in at least a high school in the years Future developments offer opportunities for improvement in the next district consider and understand the location of the centers of newcomers and also the Spanish-speaking populations help predict how and when to implement different opportunities in different locations a solution which school the students choose a bilingual or English-only route to a level An early example of that

084is the International Baccalaureate programs that have mixed important courses with bilingual opportunities help the students to speak Spanish, for example and support this legislation that includes this language Spanish in language courses, that's it would help with the credits then English needs switch to the language arts course so that it's included with everything Language arts courses Thank you The next speaker is Hello, I am gr, I am in my second year year in Nuvista and those are the recommendations we can make our nuvist school with the research and collaboration and with the The survey research has helped us to arrive that the change This is a bigger course that is Teach in Spanish or another language so that that the students take it without the pressure of a key course We can offer that as a

085workshop or job. with the community outside of school By doing that, the school can occupy its school population as evidence for See what works and where we need Improvement is what can be asked to incentivize Furthermore, this means instead of isolating the those students who speak Spanish methods are noted in our recommendation that we have sent to the board I'm also going to share this. recommendations from a colleague who She recently graduated from Nuvista and left Polder research can be very small but the students have had student recommendations in There are several schools, and that's important. The research team has spent I spent a lot of time interviewing people from various ages and students need those We cannot answer questions for support. But I would appreciate it if you would send your questions and I

086encourage you to You send it to John Msky director of nuvista Thank you very much next speech The following speech is from Ash. brave next forward next The speech has received 2 minutes of Andre br Okay, good evening, board members and superintendent Anderson, I'm graduating this month That's my call to action in regarding information security in Cybersecurity. And that's my project. last year first and I need to say the need for an increase in the security knowledge In cybernetics we have an endless amount of data important is a commitment to that data It jeopardizes the safety of our of our staff and students But It also harms the process of There is a lot we need to do in education. to do in terms of educating the students in basic principles of privacy and security

087cybernetics many students They reported receiving no training in those subjects Data gaps affect everyone in the district, including the students staff and teachers It is important to recognize that the gaps Important ones receive a lot of attention But credit card fraud can harm a person's life This highlights the need for a person. Expand, highlight, and ensure that everyone Students may face that safety while we're running more And moving faster into the future is unethical. That issue is behind the digital landscape. expanding Very fast, very fast, and there is a risk. even more growing in terms of the risks Cybernetic intelligence is imperative and crucial face that teachers' topic And teachers can receive training from Occasionally, students don't We need to prioritize giving priority to That type of education in our district It has recognition for

088the subjects and issues he faces for doing that Cyber ​​education can create a a safer environment and provides more preparation for students it helps life all students the absence of that learning those who want to continue or to have a career in that subject prevents students reach their full potential many potential students cannot explore and cultivate your interest because not They have the educational resources I ask the board for the necessary ones to perform paths to this topic and I ask you to address that resource gap so that so that students can move forward with their interests It is evident that the education Cybernetics is not a moral obligation a mere The risks remain We need that increased vigilance. By prioritizing that issue, we can to meet the needs of all population we are going

089to invest in their education encourage their future education and We're also going to pave a road for the environment for the following generations is important Navigating the Cybernetic Path Many Thank you.

Yes. So this is more or less like what My son Nico was doing "It's not much to talk about." about the student support class in Pioneer, I just want to acknowledge that That is not a position supported by bebd est is a position that Pioneer used funds for create because they thought it was a a highly valuable position if the Students do not

122feel safe By supporting their schools, they cannot learn and last year with our position had someone full-time support specialist student gave discipline classes once a week in all the classes and before that added a fourth week for a special class for kindergarten students was a curriculum of awareness in discipline that there was a lot of development socio-emotional resolving conflicts and how to support it self-confidence and really I hope you will consider supporting this position and that perhaps it will be allowed to level at the District level as a position of Full-time to support students with a background I know that a lot is needed. support and the administration does not have the capacity to support students as they really need it to close I just want to let you know if They were unaware of

We didn't want to pay. for coaches for last year the 2024 because we weren't going to use them And that's why we focus on placing the money in the initial adoption and the We don't necessarily use it and we buy it we got into, so to speak, the bank and to make sure that the money the money was there so that we could buy the training the other part of the
