We gave anybody that was nominated. It was a pure nomination this year, but TJ's kids made medallions. They had my little dog
006nominee in a year or so.

So all I have since the last time you met We'll recruit another student here person. Um so on the agenda is the point in time we have for the audience time. Uh citizen
008input is a non non agenda on non-aggenda items shall be three minutes per person 30 minutes per agenda item. Citizen input on agenda items will occur after the board discussion and before a vote. Speakers may be provided objective comments or criticism of district operations and programs. For complaints about individuals, the district has a board policy and complaint process. Please contact the district office for guidance on filing a complaint. Uh we have two um two audience members that would like to um speak. Uh the first one would be Oscar Warz. Oh boy. It's overwhelming to do this because uh Let me start by uh by quoting J is no profession totally agree with that that it has taken 18 months or or about four semesters for me to be disappointed and have to this day um
009and and completely u so that I am here to ask in public for a grant compliance report for CT. Uh like I said, I was out there helping the instructor for at least uh the better part of four four semesters. And I I've witnessed it all. I saw it all. And there was there was a lot of money spent on equipment that according to the grant requirements requires uh a course and then a list of outcomes and testing and and I saw nothing of it nothing. So, uh, in this, uh, grant request, I would like to see a summary of two key grants received for the over the course of four years, an overview of how those funds were allocated and spent with examples if possible, highlights of any curriculum improvements or programs developed using
010grant funds, positive outcomes for student success stories resulting from these this effort. Copies of the original grant application to better understand uh the intended goals. Records of any equipment that was traded, exchanged or otherwise applied to uh purchase of new equipment along with related invoices is what I like to see. Um I do have some paperwork here. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, Mike. Uh this came from you and uh Mr. Whitman, you you have been great insight, great help. I'm just, you know, hoping that with your position, you do something about it. Uh Mr. Shank, we you talked last September. You said you might come up with some ideas you just never got back to. And and I understand your your position because the shoppers building you a trailer and nobody wants
011to stir the pot when they're three minutes. Thank you Dan. Thank you for your service. Thanks. Yeah. Um, you know, I did Oscar emailed me a very I don't know if that's the same list or similar list. Um, asking for a grant public report. Um, I also referred him to the policy around doing a records request. Um, I think that may be the most appropriate way. If he chooses to submit that, then we'll respond accordingly. Um, you know, if we have that information, we'll provide it, but the law is pretty clear. We don't have to create things that we don't possession. So, I work with our legal counsel or continue to work with our legal counsel on that issue. Take their advice on that. Thanks, Mike. Uh, the next uh audience member to speak is
012Justin. time. So, I had requested when April after the election um just I would like the time to address um the board, staff, community all at the same time to talk about my um being on the board and kind of where I'm at. I voted out otherwise I will know where. Um so hi my name is Justine Flynn and I was recently elected not sworn in to rule my school district before for commission three until mid April of this year I had briefly served in the bank of position two on the board and I would like to offer an explanation of why I chose to approply resign before that I had before that I'd be have I'd like to be upfront and transparent about my intention serving on the board. I'm a lifelong resident of
013this district and community. I grew up in Grand graduated from school district. I'm a grand tribal citizen and currently serve as a school administrator for Grand Trab School. I have a bachelor's degree in race and ethnic studies from the University of Oregon, a master's degree in elementary teaching and uh from Western Oregon University and a graduate certificate indigenous educational leadership from Kansas State University. Those are the most important things about me. Education is my passion, but advocacy is my purpose. And nothing brings me more joy than to combine both of those things to support the improvement of systems that were not designed for success marginalized communities. It would be natural that you hear that and assume that it is my intention to serve in the best interest of our tribal community only. And you would
014not be correct in that, but I will tell you that anything that is good for our tribal community is both for every student in this district and every family that we serve. It's my intention to advocate for improved systems for all students within Lum School District. Whether you recognize it or not, this community is made up of youth with diverse backgrounds and these backgrounds have resulted in barriers to success. Even if the only factor affecting them is that they are attending a school in small rural community. The reality is that there are fewer opportunities available. That being said, lack of opportunity has never stopped anyone that has attended the school district from success and greatness. I mentioned previously that I'm the school administrator at the Jawa Chile School and it brings me immeasurable joy to
015my life every single day. The unique thing about one of the unique things about our school is that we share students with both mine and shared the school district. Uh they attend Shawish School for the first half of their day and then they disperse to either mine or Sharon for the remainder of the day. When I accepted this the interim position on the board, I knew it would be brief and I wanted to feel out the possibility of running in May. I loved my time on the board and I enjoyed hearing about successes, speaking deeper with questions and supporting the community and staff. Although I was asked about my role and how I felt about conflicts, I truly did not anticipate anything coming up that I felt would result in really pushing my commission. Nevertheless,
016an incident did uh did take place and at the time I felt it would be unfair to address this concern while also being on the school board. Looking back, I'm sure that that could have been that this could have been resolved without my need to resign, but I did not want any staff to feel that I had leveraged my position on the board to address the conflict. I was hasty in my decision, but I had accepted it. It was my intention to pull my name from the ballot and I was two days too late in emailing county clerk's office to do so. I had every intention of not accepting elected. But then I saw the results and spoke with a few community members. I felt called on to serve this community and I was humbled
017by all the faith in my ability to serve and honor to I will be honored to accept that. I requested that prior to being sworn and I be given the ability to address the board, staff and community to be transparent about my abrupt departure and Jart. That way there is no misunderstandings about my intentions while serving on the board. Moving forward, I will continue to operate with transparency. I want nothing but success for this district, these students, and the staff. I will continue to listen with intention and ask questions of purpose and hope that it moves others to do the same. Community matters more now than ever and I'm humbled by the opportunity to be a part of this board and work with the school district and members to support. Thank you. Uh any other
018comments, Alex? The next next part that we're at is decision items.

I would just add I want to give a thank you to our teacher group that worked on that and also Lisa Frank for kind of being my subjects through that process. are invaluable in kind of keeping me a breast of some historical things that have been traditionally sticking points. But um you know I think I think we cleaned up a lot of language. I think we we also worked with our attorney to to get some new pieces in there statutes um you know different things like that. So I think we're in great shape. We have time. I
