LEONETTI TO BE RIGHT HERE . SHE AND WE WILL JUST SO WE'VE HAD A MOTION TO MOVE CLOSED SESSION D TO INFORMATION G SECOND ARE YOU MOVING A DISCUSSION ALL

018DONATION CENTER BECAUSE WOULD YOU WOULD ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE CANNOT MAINTAIN IF I SHARE IT WITH ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE ENTITLED TO TURN IT SO IF YOU MAYBE A DISCUSSION ALTERNATIONS WANT A LEGAL DISCUSSION I WOULD HAVE A CONCERN. I MOVE ALTERNATIONS TWENTY TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE OPTIONS DISCUSSION FROM ITEM D IN CLOSED SESSION TO TWELVE G SO SO THE MOTIONS THE MOTIONS ON THE FLOOR AND I THINK THIS WAS WE WANTED TO SECOND IT SO ANY DISCUSSION MISS MISS BROWN SO GENERALLY I DO I SUPPORT THE INTENTION OF THE MOTION HOWEVER MY NOTES HERE I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME STUFF THAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD ONLY BE PRIVY TO CLOSED SESSION DISCUSSION AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN AS SO I'M I I'M I I PREFER TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION AND OPEN SESSION

019BUT I DON'T THAT THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION CAN BE GIVEN SO IF YOU IF YOU COULD MAYBE MODIFY THAT MOTION A LITTLE BIT SO THAT I CAN SUPPORTED I WOULD SUPPORT THAT. THANK YOU. OK, MISS ANDERSON. WELL I UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR MY COLLEAGUE ASKING FOR IS TO MOVED FOR INFORMATION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY GET THAT BUT THERE ARE ALSO THINGS IN THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PRIVY TO DURING CLOSED SESSION THAT OUR ATTORNEY CAN GIVE US INFORMATION THAT OUR ATTORNEY CAN GIVE US THAT CANNOT BE DISCLOSED PUBLICLY AT THIS TIME. SO I WOULD ASK THAT THIS MOTION BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE WE DO NEED TO GO INTO CLOSED. HOWEVER, IF DOES PASS I THINK WE STILL NEED TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ABOUT THIS

020TOPIC DONE IN CLOSED AS WELL OK SO THE BOARD THE BOARD JUST CLEARED AND I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHO IS NEXT. MISS OWENS, THANK YOU I AM IN FAVOR OF THE IDEA OF TRANSPARENCY I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US AS A BOARD HOWEVER I FEEL I FEEL LIKE THE PUBLIC DESERVES NOTICE WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION LIKE THIS IF IS GOING TO BE ON INFORMATION I WOULD WANT THAT TO BE ON INFORMATION IN ADVANCE FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE SO THEY CAN BE PRESENT. THEY CAN TUNE AND THEY CAN CONTACT THIS IN ADVANCE WE. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING LOTS OF CONTACTS SO WE DO RECEIVE THOSE CONTACTS AND HAVE THAT INFORMATION BUT IN THE NAME OF TRANSPAC AND SEE WHICH IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS MAN IS LOOKING FOR I WOULD

021LIKE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC RECEIVED NOTICE AND BE PRESENT TO CHOOSE TO HANDLE AS THEY THEY SO CHOOSE SO WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR THIS MOTION. MR COLPEPER I'M GOING TO SAY THE SAY THE SAME THING DIFFERENTLY. BUT DO YOU ACTUALLY QUESTION MR SPEAKER AND I AGREE THAT THERE ARE PORTIONS OF BRIEF THAT YOU HAVE PREPARED THAT ARE OK FOR PUBLIC AND THERE'S PORTION OF IT OR NOT IT IS IT ACHIEVABLE FOR YOU TO PASS THOSE PARTS OUT TODAY AND TALKING ABOUT THE PART YOU HAVE NOTHING RIGHT NOW PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC ON THIS MATTER? I WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES REMEMBERS WANTED TO HAVE THERE IS HAVE THERE IS NOTHING YOU'RE READY TO PRESENT PUBLIC THAT I'M AWARE OF AT THE MOMENT SO I WOULD ONLY BE

022ONLY BE HERE TO PROVIDE ADVICE CONCERNING WHAT IS YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC. AND THE QUESTION WAS WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF CHOICE WE MIGHT MAKE? BUT RIGHT NOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING YOU INTENDED TO SHOW THE PUBLIC AS TO WHAT YOU'RE INTENDING TO DO WE'VE HAD ONE DISCUSSION ON IT AND THEIR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER UNFOLD WANTED SOME CLARIFICATION THE ONLY WAY I CAN GIVE THAT TO THE ENTIRE BOARD IS FREE TO DO THAT IN A MEETING WHICH OBVIOUSLY THREE OR MORE OF YOUTH MEETING THERE BUT THERE. BUT AGAIN, I COULDN'T PROVIDE THAT LEGAL WITHOUT PROTECTING ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE WITHOUT GOING INTO CLOSED SESSION IT'S THERE IS NO SPECIFIC MOTION THAT I'M AWARE OF . I WAS TO BE HERE TO PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE CONCERNING POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR YOU SO THAT YOU CAN

023MAKE A DECISION THAT CAN COME TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THE SO IN OTHER WORDS THE OPTIONS ARE PRESENTED THERE ARE YOUR LEGAL PERSPECTIVE ALL THE OPTIONS MIGHT BE AND THEY'RE NOT ONES THAT WERE PRESENTED BY SOMEBODY ELSE FOR ANALYZE CORRECT. OK, THANK YOU. MEANS YEAH I REALLY THINK THAT ANY DISCUSSION AND WE'VE BEEN WE'RE KIND IN THIS VOTE BUT BECAUSE OF THINGS WERE DONE WITHOUT PUBLIC DISCUSSION AND I HATE TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN. SO I THINK ANY DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE NEEDS TO BE IN THE PUBLIC. WE KEEP IN SO MANY E-MAILS. SO IF BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SAID WE THIS ON THE AGENDA AND IT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED, I AND VERY TROUBLED THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DISCUSSED AND CLOSED BECAUSE SESSIONS ARE NOT FOR US TO PLAN OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING SAY

024IN THE NEXT OPEN SESSION IS NOT IT'S NOT FOR US TO ASK QUESTIONS AND THEN DECIDE WHICH WAY WE'RE GOING TO GO SO THAT WE DON'T GET BLASTED OR CRITICIZED BY THE PUBLIC. IT'S FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY THINGS THAT ARE IN LITIGATION AND I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT THIS FOLLOWS THAT AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD ER ON THE SIDE OF TRANSPARENT AND DON'T DO ANYTHING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THANK YOU. SO THERE WAS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MISS BROWN SORRY I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION IF I CAN DO YOUR SUBSTITUTE OK SO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION IS VERY SPECIFIC THAT ALL ITEMS DISCUSSED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD BE IN THE PUBLIC EYE AND IT PROVIDES CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS TO THAT LAW AND PROBABLE LITIGATION IS NOT ONE OF THOSE OR POTENTIAL LITIGATION

025PROBABLE IS POTENTIAL LITIGATION YOU COULD SAY THAT YOU'RE GOING IN A CLOSED SESSION FOR ANYTHING ANYTHING COULD BE POTENTIAL LITIGATION BOARD MEMBERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY WANT TO GO IN A CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS OPTIONS FOR THE SITUATION THAT'S NOT A CLOSED SESSION TOPIC. THAT'S NOT PERMITTED UNDER THE LAW UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. I'VE EMAILED THE BOARD DETAILS OF THE LAW AND THE EXCEPTIONS PERMITTED AS WELL AS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINIONS ON THE TOPIC I AM NOT ASKING FOR US TO HAVE LEGAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN OPEN SESSION ALTHOUGH THIS BOARD HAS A HABIT OF DOING THAT. I REMEMBER A NUMBER OF HANDS THIS BOARD ASKING LEGAL QUESTIONS TO OUR ATTORNEY THAT WERE ANSWERED OPEN SESSION I'M NOT ASKING FOR THAT FOR THAT. I'M ASKING FOR THE DISCUSSION AND THAT WAS MY SPECIFIC MOTION MY

026MOTION WAS OLD SCHOOL TWENTY TWENTY FOUR OPTIONS DISCUSSION IT WASN'T FOR LEGAL COUNSEL IT WAS FOR OPTIONS SO AND OWNS TO YOUR POINT I AGREE THE AGREE THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE NOTICED I ASKED FOR THIS TOPIC TO BE ON THE ON THE AGENDA FOR MAY 20 FOR THE MAY 14 MEETING FOR INFORMATION AND FOR ACTION AT THIS MEETING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN AND I DON'T CONTROL THE AGENDA SO I CAN'T HELP THAT. BUT THIS HAS BEEN LISTED AS A CLOSED SESSION TOPIC SINCE THIS PAST THURSDAY IN THE COMMUNITY MANY OF WHICH ARE HERE TONIGHT HAVE ASKED US TO MOVE THAT FROM CLOSE TO OPEN SO THEY CAN BE A PART OF AND THEY CAN HEAR WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU, MISS RIGGS. SO MISS LEONETTI, YOU'VE STATED WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PRESENT SO

027THESE WHO ASKED YOU TO PUT THIS QUESTION WAS THERE SOMEONE UP HERE THAT ASKED FOR THIS THERE WAS A WAS A SPECIFIC SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER WHO MET WITH MY NAME ON ME MELNIK AND BASED ON THE TYPE OF QUESTIONS BEING ASKED THOUGHT EVERYBODY WANTED THE SAME EXPLANATION OF DISCUSSION WITH COLLEAGUES ABOUT MY LEGAL ADVICE CONCERNING I DO WANT TO CLARIFY THE ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST PRIVILEGES RECOGNIZED BY LAW IT IS AN ABSOLUTE WHITE WEIGHT FROM A CLIENT TO HAVE THAT ABILITY TO MEET WITH THEIR CLIENTS, WITH THEIR ATTORNEY, THE CLIENT AND NOT HOW THAT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND I WILL POINT OUT THERE HAS BEEN MISINFORMATION OUT THERE ARE MOTIVATED IN TWO POINT TO THREE SEVEN WON A ONE SECTION EIGHT YOU MISMANAGES SECTION SEVEN SECTION, SECTION EIGHT, SECTION EIGHT

028IS CONSULTATION LEGAL COUNSEL EMPLOYER TO RETAIN BY A PUBLIC BODY REGARDING SPECIFIC LEGAL MATTERS ACQUIRED ABORIGINAL LEGAL ADVICE BY LEGAL COUNSEL THAT WAS ASKED FOR THIS LITIGATION IS ANOTHER MATTER THAT'S ANOTHER SECTION ON THIS THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE LITIGATION BUT THIS FALLS UNDER SECTION EIGHT AGAIN ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC THEY DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO YOU THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND MY CLIENT IS YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHETHER YOU CAN MAKE THAT PUBLIC OR NOT BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE QUIET, THERE'S IS NOT SOMETHING REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE SHARED WITH SOMEONE ELSE THAT. THAT WAS WHAT I WAS FOR THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SPOKE WITH SPOKE WITH US WANTED FOR THE CONVERSATION I'D HAD LEGAL DISCUSSIONS THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THAT INDIVIDUAL FELT LIKE THE

029ENTIRE WAR TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONVERSATIONS SO THAT YOU COULD MAKE A DECISION SO YOU COULD COME BACK TO THE PUBLIC. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKED TO PLACES ON THE CLOSED SESSION, MR COLPEPER. OH MR YEAH. AGREE WITH THE ISSUE HERE THERE . THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT THE BRIEF THERE'S BEEN PREPARED FOR CLOTHES HAS BEEN PREPARED BY OUR ATTORNEY THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER THAN WE CAN MOVE TO PUBLIC TO PUBLIC DISCUSSION AT THE MOMENT AT THE END OF IT SO WE CAN EITHER SUPPORT THE MOTION TO MOVE THIS INFORMATION WE CAN EITHER DO IT OR NOT DO OK SO THEY'RE THERE STILL IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO MOVE TO MOVE CLOSER SHOULDN'T D INFORMATION G AND THAT MOTION IS PAID BY MISMANAGED SECONDED BY MISS WEEMS.

I AM CURRENTLY A SEVENTH GRADER I MAKE ALWAYS AND I JUST I JUST GOT SELECTED TO THE NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY. I'M SIMPLY SPEAKING TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE WHICH YOU MIGHT KNOW WHICH IS EXTREMELY CLOSE WHILE BEING IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE ALL DONATIONS SCHOOL YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD AND BE ON TOP OF YOUR STUDIES. SOME PEOPLE GET VERY STRESSED YES THERE ARE SOME KIDS THAT STRUGGLE WITH ANXIETY AND ANXIETY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL DOWN ON THEMSELVES WHEN THEY

040DON'T GET IT WHEN THINKING ABOUT SHOULD ATTEND EARLY AS IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMITTEE THINKS ABOUT WHO WILL HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE THAT IS WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT CHILDREN WERE SELECTED BY A WHEELSPIN I THOUGHT ABOUT I WOULD FEEL IF I WERE UNFAIRLY NOT SELECTED TO ATTEND ODIASE BY WILL SPEND MY LITTLE BROTHER WAS PART OF THE GROUP THAT WAS UNLUCKY WHEELSPIN WHEN I FIRST HEARD MY DAD TALK DAD TALK ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR I KEPT IT QUIET BUT WONDERED IF IT WAS ACTUALLY TRUE ADULTS RARELY MAKE MISTAKES AT RARELY MAKE MISTAKES AT ONCE. I BROUGHT THE TOPIC TO A FEW OF MY EARLIEST TEACHERS BOTH IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT I WAS WHAT I WAS SAYING WAS INCORRECT AFTERWARDS REASSURE THEM THAT IT WAS TRUE AND

041SHOW THEM THE EMAIL. BOTH WERE INTRODUCED BELIEVE THE TEACHERS THAT THIS WAS UNFAIR WOULD NOT FOLLOW THE GOALS SET BY DONATION SCHOOL I HAVE LEARNED THAT ONE THAT EVERYONE MAKES ERRORS LIFE WHETHER LIFE WHETHER ACCIDENTAL OR NOT I HATE TELLING THE STORY BUT ONE TIME I CHANGED AN ANSWER ON A QUIZ MR PALMER MY FIFTH GRADE TEACHER FOUND TEACHER FOUND OUT THE FEELING INSIDE WAS TERRIBLE MY PARENTS MADE ME GO ON TO HER WHAT HAPPENED AND IT WAS SO HOWEVER I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER MUCH BETTER AFTER I TOLD THE TRUTH I LEARNED THAT THINGS I DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND IT HAS MADE ME A BETTER PERSON I'M NOT SURE WHY IT IS HARD FOR OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM TO ADMIT THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND FIX IT.

I DID A LOT OF KHAN ACADEMY ROSETTA STONE AND I READ A LOT ON MY OWN IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME TO HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL. I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I LEARNING WHEN I COULD TEACH MYSELF A LOT MORE AT HOME I WAS REALLY FRUSTRATED AND I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL DAYS I'M DEFINITELY NOT TRYING TO PUT DOWN MY OLD SCHOOL IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT PLACE FOR MOST KIDS WHAT I NOW KNOW THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEN IS THAT HAD SOME NEEDS WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR MY TEACHERS TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYTHING CHANGED.

ROBERTSON STAFF MY NAME IS KEPT ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF VIRGINIA BEACH EDUCATION ASSOCIATION FIRST I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT POLICY FIVE DASH

053THIRTY FIVE DISCIPLINING CONTROL OF STUDENTS IN SECTION A CONTROL OF STUDENTS. IT STATES THE DISCIPLINE AND CONTROL OF STUDENTS SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRINCIPAL. THE ADMINISTRATORS THE TEACHERS BUS DRIVERS AND OTHER SUPERVISING STAFF SUPERVISING STAFF IN LIGHT OF ALL THE PARENTS BEFORE THIS GROUP DEMANDING PARENTAL RIGHTS IT SEEMS TO, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY SHOULD SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DISCIPLINE IN CONTROL OF THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT WE CAN STUDENTS AND STAFF SAFE SECOND I, I WISH TO ADDRESS EMPLOYEE RAISES PAST SUPERINTENDENT INCENTIVES AND BOARDS HAVE SAID TO THEIR EMPLOYEES YOU CANNOT GET WHAT YOU DO AND I ASKED FOR SO THE VA IS ADVOCATING FOR FOR THREE PERCENT RAISE FOR THE MATCHING FUNDS IN THE STATE BUDGET. BUT OF COURSE THE THREE POINT FIVE PERCENT RAISE THAT THE CITY WORKERS ARE GETTING

054WOULD BE EVEN BETTER VIRGINIA'S RECENTLY PASSED COMPROMISE BUDGET INCLUDES THE STATE'S PORTION OF THIS THREE PERCENT PAY INCREASE FOR SCHOOL EMPLOYEES OVER EACH OF THE NEXT TWO SCHOOL YEARS THIS STILL LEAVES VIRGINIA RANKED 24TH IN NATIONAL AVERAGE TEACHER PAY TO MEET VIRGINIA'S LEGISLATIVE ALL OF REACHING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE BY THE 27 28 SCHOOL YEAR A 14 PERCENT INCREASE WILL BE NEEDED IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE A GOAL THAT WOULD DEPEND ON THE ELECTED LEADERS IN CHARGE AT THAT TIME ELECTIONS MATTER THIRD THE VA WANTS BBA WANTS TO CONDEMN THE ACTIONS OF THOSE ALLOWED THE RACIALLY CHARGED BEHAVIOR TO BE PART OF THE VCP SPORT PROGRAMS IN OUR INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT WORLD WE NEED ALL EDUCATORS, STUDENTS, PARENTS AND FAMILIES ORGANIZERS COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS TO WORK IN WAYS THAT ADVANCE RACIAL AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IT

055IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE WORK TO REMOVE THOSE WHO CAN CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR AND SUPPORT DIVISION IN OUR COMMUNITIES ARGUES THE FACT THAT THIS HAS GONE UNCHECKED HAS GONE UNCHECKED FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME REPREHENSIBLE UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS ONE IS ONE MORE REASON FOR NEW EDUCATORS AND THOSE RELOCATING HERE TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE THEY WILL ASK THEMSELVES IF IT IS HAPPENING TO STUDENTS IN THE SPORT SETTING IS. IS IT HAPPENING IN OTHER PARTS OF OUR SCHOOL DIVISION WILL I BE TREATED WITH RESPECT OR WILL EXPERIENCE INJUSTICE ALSO IT IS NOT AN ATTRACTIVE PICTURE NOR WILL IT ATTRACT HIGHLY QUALIFIED TALENT TO OUR DIVISION. IT IS ALSO A REASON FOR THOSE PROFESSIONALS TO EXIT THE FIELD OF TEACHING LASTLY VOUCHERS DO VOUCHERS DO NOT WORK. SOME YOU HAVE ACTED ARE ACTIVELY ADVOCATING THAT

056BBC'S BE SEEN AS A SCHOOL DIVISION SUPPORTS TAKING MONEY FROM PUBLIC EDUCATION TO SUPPOSEDLY BENEFIT THOSE WITH FEWER RESOURCES I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU DO SO BECAUSE YOU ARE MISINFORMED THE TRUTH IS THAT THESE VOUCHER PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN STUDIED AND LEADERS ON SIDES OF THE AISLE AGREE >> THAT VOUCHERS DO NOT WORK. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND IF YOU NEED HELP. I'LL GLADLY SHARE MY RESOURCES AND AM SURE THAT LIBRARIANS THE MEDIA SPECIALIST THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE MALIGNED WILL HELP YOU OUT AS BEING AN ENEMY OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE NAME OF POLITICAL AGENDAS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN ANY OF THESE AREAS OF CONCERN. WE MUST BE BETTER IN THAT IF NOT THEN CHANGE CAN HAPPEN WHEN VOTERS REMEMBER ACTIONS TAKEN HERE IN NOVEMBER. THANK YOU. SO WE THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THE

057APPLAUSE BUT AND HERE WE DO NOT SO JUST A LITTLE OF THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU NEXT SPEAKER IS SPEAKER IS LINDSAY SAWYER. DR. ADAM SAWYER AND THEN WAYNE WAS. I CORRECT THE RECORD ADAM IS NOT SPEAKING SORRY HE HAD TO GO. HE HAD TO GET CALLED IN THINGS . GOOD EVENING, DR. ROBERTSON. CHAIR MELNYK AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY SPEAK TONIGHT TODAY I SPENT MY MORNING MY MORNING WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING LOOKING UP THE ROLE OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD AND SPECIFICALLY STATES THE SCHOOL BOARDS ROLE IS TO SEE THAT THE SCHOOLS PROPERLY EXPLAINED, OBSERVED AND ENFORCED. I WANT TO REMIND THE SPORT THAT YOU ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSED A FULL LOTTERY LIKE OUR CHILDREN EXPERIENCED AND THEN ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSED THE SCALE

058AND CONSENSUS SCORE THAT OUR CHILDREN EXPERIENCED SO THESE KIDS WENT THROUGH AND UNIMPROVED PROCESS THAT WAS NOT APPROVED AFTER THE FACT IS THE RESPONSE OF THE BOARD TO MAKE CHANGES FOR FUTURE CHILDREN BUT TO DO NOTHING FOR THE ONES THAT WERE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN MY SON WAS APPLYING TO ENGAGE US HE WAS EXPLAINING TO ME HOW THE TEACHERS RATE HIS APPLICATION ON THE FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND THEN THOSE WITH THE HIGHEST SCORES EVENTUALLY GET INDUCTED INTO THE NHS BUT THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THINKING HE ASKED ME MOM WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY CHANGE IT TO LOTTERY AND THEY MIGHT REALLY DO THAT BECAUSE THEY MIGHT THINK THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS AT US AND THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPOTS IT WAS A QUESTION I HAD NOT EXPECTED

059BUT I TOLD HIM IT'S UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY NOT THE PROCESS BUT THEN HE LOOKED AT ME AND STATED BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY BROTHER AT ODIOUS THEY DON'T TELL ANYONE AND THEY CHANGED IT. HE ASKED ME IF I CAN CHECK IF IT'S A LOTTERY IF HE DOESN'T GET IN HIS LOGIC IS EXACTLY RIGHT THOUGH. A SCIENTIST I LIKE ROBERT HIGHLAND ONCE SAID IT SEEMS THAT ANY RULE THAT IS NOT IN FORCED IN IS NEVER ULTIMATELY ENFORCED WEAKENS ALL OTHER RULES AND THIS IS TRUE A PATH IN WHICH OUR SCHOOL BOARD TURNS A BLIND WITHOUT ANY REMEDY FOR THOSE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED CREATES COMPLETE DISTRUST IN OUR SYSTEM. MY NEIGHBOR WHO TEACHES AND PHOEBE CPS SHE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THIS SCENARIO SAID TO ME YESTERDAY LINDSAY THIS WOULD JUST MEAN THE

060SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND I DO WORRY ABOUT THAT. I URGE YOU TO REMEMBER YOUR DUTY TO ENFORCE RULES SO WE CAN HAVE A DEMOCRATIC FAIR SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS MEANS REEVALUATING ANY STUDENT WHO EXPERIENCED IN UNAPPROVED PROCESS AND ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING US IT MEANS CHOOSING THE STUDENTS WITH THE HIGHEST NEED FROM THAT GROUP COMBINED WITH STUDENTS THAT APPLIED THIS YEAR ADDING SEATS IS EXACTLY WHAT VIDEO HAS ASKED YOU TO DO DR. PLUCKER RECENTLY STATED I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT GIVEN THE CURRENT CONTEXT IN VIRGINIA >> BEACH ADDING THIRD GRADE CLASS IS PRETTY MUCH THE >> BEST CASE SCENARIO PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OUR NEXT SPEAKER WILL BE WAYNE RUSSELL COURTNEY JACOBS AND THEN CHANGPING OR MY NAME IS PLAYING RUSSELL AND THANK YOU SCHOOL BOARD FOR HEARING ME LIKE

061OUR LITTLE FRIEND HERE I DO NOT LOSE MY TEMPER UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR THIS YES I WANTED TO TELL IS A SEATBELT LOCK THAT WE HAVE ON THE SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS WHICH I AM BY THE WAY ONE OF THE SEATBELT WORK VERY HARD TO PUT ON. IT'S VERY EASY FOR A CHILD TO TAKE OFF WHAT I AM PROPOSING AS A SCHOOL AUTHORIZE A NEW KIND OF SEAT BELT LOCK THAT IPHONE AMAZON THIS YOU FELT LIKE YOU SLIP THE SEAT BELT INTO THE LAW ,THE BELT GOES IN AND IT'S VERY EASY TO PUT ON AND IT'S VERY HARD FOR A CHILD TO GIVE UP THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OFF IS TO INSERT A PLASTIC KEY SUCH AS THIS ONE INTO THE INTO THE SLOT HERE AND RELEASES A SEATBELT THE CHILD IS

062NO HAS NO WAY TO RELEASE THE SEATBELT ON HIS OWN THIS SEATBELT LOCK WOULD BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE CURRENT ONES WE HAVE IN USE AND I WOULD ASK THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD PLEASE APPROVE THESE SEATBELT LOCKS ARE MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED DUBAI INC. AND I ASK THAT YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS COURTNEY JACOBS STRONG FAMILY AND THEN MELISSA LUCAS I STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AS A PROUD PARENT OF SECOND GRADER HOWEVER DESPITE BEING ONE OF 11 ONE OF ELEVEN STUDENTS THIS YEAR TO ACHIEVE FIVE FIVE FIVE READING FOR A SELECTION, HE WAS AGAIN NOT RANDOMLY SELECTED LIKE LAST YEAR IS THIS FAIR? WELL, FAIRNESS DEPENDS ON PERSPECTIVE AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GIFTED EDUCATION NOW WE COULD WE COULD ATTEMPT TO CONVINCE

063PARENTS THAT ODIASE IS THE SAME GIFTED CLUSTER CLASS WE COULD. WE COULD ASSERT THAT THE CURRICULUM SCHOOL LENGTH AND EXTRACURRICULAR OFFERINGS ARE IDENTICAL TO OTHER SCHOOLS BUT LET'S BE HONEST NONE OF THAT IS A REALITY AS AN EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR I STRIVE TO PRACTICE WHAT IS CALLED EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE CHOICES I MAKE DON'T JUST HAPPENED BY CHANCE ON A WHIM OR BECAUSE IT'S THE EASIEST THING TO DO AT THE MOMENT THAT SAME MODEL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO EDUCATION SPECIFICALLY IN EDUCATING OUR GIFTED THIS YEAR AS AN UNFORTUNATE HOBBY I'VE DEALT DEEPLY INTO GIFTED EDUCATION AND I'D BE HAPPY SHARE MY EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND WITH THE GIFTED OFFICE DESPITE CLAIMS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF THE CLUSTER MODEL FOR GIFTED STUDENTS THERE IS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A

064CONTINUATION OF SERVICES THERE EXISTENCE SPECTRUM OF GIFTED STUDENTS, DIFFERENT SUBSETS OF GIFTED STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM HOMOGENEOUS MIXING OVER CLUSTERING AND WE SHOULD FOCUS ON EDUCATING OUR GIFTED POPULATION BY WHAT CURRENT RESEARCH DICTATES NOT WHAT IS EASIEST OR STATUS QUO FOR THE GIFTED OFFICE A STANDALONE GIFTED SCHOOLMATES YOU AT THE TOP PERCENTAGE OF GIFTED LEARNERS BUT I AM AN AGREEMENT THAT ALTERNATIVE MODELS LIKE SCHOOL WITHIN A SCHOOL AND SATELLITE PROGRAMS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED TO ENHANCE GIFTED EDUCATION. NEITHER RESEARCHER EXPERT OPINIONS OF OPINIONS OF DR. PLUCKER AND OTHERS SUPPORT CURRENT MODEL OF CLUSTERING ESPECIALLY FOR PROFOUNDLY GIFTED KIDS UNFORTUNATELY THE GIFTED OFFICE SEEMS INTENT SEEMS INTENT ON MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW PLAN DEVOID OF EVIDENCE OR ACTUAL INPUT FROM STAKEHOLDER MEMBERS OR PARENTS. TONIGHT I AM FOR YOU TO RECTIFY

065LAST YEAR'S ODIOUS ADMISSION MISTAKES OPEN A THIRD GRADE CLASS FOR DESERVING STUDENTS NEEDING MORE THAN WHAT THE CLUSTER CAN OFFER AND MAKE DECISIONS FOR GIFTED EDUCATION BASED ON CURRENT RESEARCH AND EXPERT GUIDANCE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LOCAL PLAN LET'S DO WHAT'S DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THESE KIDS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE EMISSION MISTAKES FROM LAST YEAR AND WORK ON CHANGING GIFTED EDUCATION FOR ALL OF VIRGINIA BEACH PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

068TO MY EMAILS. SEND THE MESSAGES THANK YOU FOR YOUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MELISSA LUCENE JESSE CORVALLIS AND THEN LATONIA ROBERTSON. GOOD EVENING FOR MAJORITY WHITE AMERICANS WE UNDERSTAND THAT RACISM IS WRONG BUT TALKING ABOUT RACISM IS WORSE THE STORIES I'VE HEARD FROM PARENTS CURRENT STUDENTS AND FORMER STUDENT THE BBC'S ARE FILLED WITH RACIST BULLYING THE RECENT STORY ABOUT THE CAMPS FOR BASEBALL TEAM WAS NOT SURPRISING MAKING SAD AND DISGUSTED I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BOARD MEMBER MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT ABOUT THIS INCIDENT COURAGE SEEMS TO BE LACKING AMONG ELECTED OFFICIALS THESE DAYS, DR. ROBERTSON IF YOU'RE FAILURE TO ISSUE A STATEMENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INVESTIGATION INCLUDED IS INDICATIVE OF YOUR IGNORANCE OF INSTITUTIONALIZED AND INTERPERSONAL RACISM THAT I HOPE YOU LEARNED SOMETHING TONIGHT THIS IS NOT WE CANNOT

069JUST SORRY WE CANNOT JUST ADDRESS HIMSELF AND MOVE ON LIKE I KNOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE BUT ABROAD AND DEEPLY ROOTED ONE THAT ORIGINATES FROM BIGOTRY AND IGNORANCE. THE PERPETRATORS ARE NOT JUST STUDENTS WHEN TEACHERS, COACHES, COUNSELORS ADMINISTRATORS IGNORED AND DO NOT ADMONISH MICROAGGRESSION THEY PERPETUATE THE PERVASIVE NATURE OF COVERT RACISM THAT HAPPENS IN FRONT OF THEM EVERY DAY IN EVERY SCHOOL IN VIRGINIA BEACH, A LOCAL PARENT TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE BLACK STUDENT UNION FORMED AGAINST THE HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS STUDENTS WROTE VILE THINGS ABOUT IT ONLINE AND THE KIDS THE KIDS WERE GETTING HARASSED IN THE HALLWAY AND ASK QUESTIONS LIKE WOULD IT BE RACIST IF WE STARTED A WHITE SUPREMACY CLUB THIS IS WHAT RACIST CHILDREN AND PARENTS DO THE ATTEMPT TO RECENTRE WHITENESS THIS IS A

070FORM OF RACISM WHEN WE THINK OF RACISM WE OFTEN ENVISION OVERT ACTS OF HATE EXPLICIT SLURS, DISCRIMINATION OR VIOLENCE. HOWEVER, RACISM ALSO BE SUBTLE AND INSIDIOUS MANIFESTING IN WAYS THAT ARE LESS VISIBLE BUT EQUALLY DAMAGING AND IT OFTEN GOES UNCHECKED. DBCP SHOULD HOSTED A TOWN HALL INVITING FAMILY CITYWIDE TO HAVE AN OPEN AND HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT RACISM IMPACTS THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS AND HARMS OUR COMMUNITY A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY NEEDS TO BE ENACTED FOR MICRO AGGRESSIONS AND EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE SO THEY CAN IDENTIFY IMMEDIATELY AND STOP IT WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION I FIND IT IRONIC THAT WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TALKING ABOUT RACISM ON THE SAME NIGHT THAT SCHOOL SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WILL BE DISCUSSING THEIR SUPPORT FOR TAXPAYER MONEY FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION VOUCHERS AND TAX

071CREDITS ONE OF THE MOST RACIST IDEOLOGIES OF THE MALL ALL IS THE ONE THAT ORIGINATED OUT OF THE INTEGRATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOW MANY OF YOU ON THAT DAIS THAT PROVIDING PUBLIC EDUCATION WAS A CONDITION OF VIRGINIA'S READMISSION INTO THE UNION DID YOU KNOW THAT OVER 500 SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED ACROSS VIRGINIA AFTER THE BROWN V. BOARD DECISION BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO INTEGRATE IN >> 2024? WE STILL HAVE ELECTED OFFICIALS SERVING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARDS THAT ARE WORKING TO DISMANTLE PUBLIC EDUCATION SO THEIR WHITE CHILDREN CAN USE TAXPAYER TO GO TO RACIALLY DISPARATE PRIVATE SCHOOLS. A VOTE SHOWS YOU ARE A ARE A RACIST OR YOU'RE IGNORANT NEITHER WILL BE TOLERATED DO BETTER DO BETTER. WE DEMAND IT. THANK YOU. OUR >> NEXT SPEAKER IS EQUALS LATONIA ROBERTSON AND THEN GARY MCCOLLUM GOOD EVENING. I'M A

072PARENT OF CURRENT STUDENT AT THE BBC'S AND I HAVE ONE THAT RECENTLY GRADUATED TWENTY TWENTY THREE I COME BEFORE YOU TO DISCUSS TO DISCUSS A MATTER OF PROFOUND SIGNIFICANCE THAT IMPACTS THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS DAILY AND IS IMPACTED MY STUDENTS MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ,INTERPERSONAL RACISM AND ITS DETRIMENTAL FACTS WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS. INTERPERSONAL RACISM INVOLVES DIRECTOR ACTIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WERE PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIORS OR EXPRESSED THEIR WORDS, ACTION OR SOCIAL EXCLUSION STUDENTS WHO ARE TARGETS OF RACIST REMARKS, BULLYING OR EXCLUSION OFFER SUFFER FROM FEELINGS OF ISOLATION, FEAR AND LOWERED SELF-ESTEEM. THESE STUDENTS MAY EXPERIENCE ANXIETY DEPRESSION AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WHICH SHOULD BE A PLACE OF SAFETY AND GROWTH BECOMES A SOURCE OF STRESS TRAUMA IMAGINE A CHILD A CHILD WAKING UP EACH MORNING WITH A SENSE OF DREAD ABOUT FACING

073ANOTHER DAY OF HOSTILITY. THIS IS A REALITY THAT'S HAPPENING TOO OFTEN WITH STUDENTS STUDENTS WHO ARE SUBJECTED TO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN ARE MORE LIKELY TO DISENGAGE FROM THEIR STUDIES, THEIR SENSE OF ALONG WITH A SCHOOL COMMUNITY HAS ERODED LEADING TO LOWER PARTICIPATION CLASS AND LOWER ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND HIGHER DROPOUT RATES WHEN STUDENTS FEEL UNDERVALUED OR THREATENED THEIR ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND THRIVE ACADEMICALLY IS SEVERELY COMPROMISED WHEN RACISM IS ALLOWED TO FESTER WITHIN A SCHOOL, IT CREATES A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYBODY. IT UNDERMINES THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND MUTUAL RESPECT THAT IS ESSENTIAL EFFECTIVE LIVING IT. IT ALSO SETS A DAMAGING PRECEDENT TEACHING STUDENTS THAT DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOR IS TOLERATED AND ACCEPTABLE AS EDUCATORS AND LEADERS WE HAVE A MORAL AN ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS AND COMBAT COMBAT INTERPERSONAL RACISM THIS BEGINS WITH HER CREATING A SCHOOL

074CULTURE THAT UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMNS RACISM OF ALL FORMS WE MUST FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT FEELS SENE HEARD AND VALUED. HERE ARE SOME STEPS I THINK WE COULD TAKE WE NEED TO INTEGRATE ANTI-RACISM EDUCATION INTO OUR CURRICULUM TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT THE HISTORY AND THE IMPACT THAT RACISM HAS. ALL STUDENT PERSONNEL SHOULD RECEIVE ONGOING TRAINING ON RECOGNIZING AND ADDRESSING INTERPERSONAL RACISM. THIS INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING MICRO AGGRESSIONS IMPLICIT BIAS IS AND HOW TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO DEVELOP AND ENFORCE CLEAR POLICIES FOR REPORTING AND ADDRESSING INCIDENCES OF RACISM. ENSURE THAT THERE ARE TRANSPARENT PROCESS IS IN PLACE THAT STUDENTS AND PARENTS FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEIR CONCERNS WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ADDRESSED PROMPTLY IN CONCLUSION ADDRESSING INTERPERSONAL RACISM WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS IS NOT JUST AN EDUCATION IMPERATIVE IT'S A MORAL ONE BY TAKING PROACTIVE AND

075SUSTAINED ACTIONS WE CAN CREATE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT FEELS SAFE RESPECTED AND EMPOWERED TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WE MUST COMMIT TO THIS ESSENTIAL WORK ENSURING >> THAT THIS TIME THANK YOU. OUR NEXT >> SPEAKER IS LATONIA ROBERSON GARY MCCOLLOM AND THEN SUSAN SALTY'S. JACK. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIRMAN SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT DR.

078ACTION THEY ARE STOP STARK REMINDERS THAT RACISM AND HATE HAVE NOT BEEN ERADICATED FROM OUR SCHOOLS BUT CONTINUE TO FESTER HARMING STUDENTS AND UNDERMINING THE VALUES WE STRIVE TO UPHOLD RACIST BEHAVIOR AND HATE SPEECH ARE NOT JUST MISTAKES OR BOYS BEING BOYS THEY ARE HARMFUL ACTIONS THAT HAVE REAL AND LASTING IMPACTS ON THE VICTIMS CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF FEAR, EXCLUSION AND MARGINALIZATION STUDENTS OBJECTED TO SUCH BEHAVIOR SUFFERING FROM SEVERE EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS AFFECTING THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL WELL-BEING BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BULLYING IN ANY FOR SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED BUT WHEN IT'S FUELED BY RACISM HATE IT BECOMES EVEN MORE EGREGIOUS. WE MUST COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A SAFE, INCLUSIVE AND RESPECTED ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, ETHNICITY OR BACKGROUND THIS IS NOT A MORAL OBLIGATION BUT A LEGAL AND ETHICAL

079ONE AS WELL I URGE YOU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO ADDRESS THIS IS YOUR ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CLEAR STRICT POLICIES IN PLACE THAT DEFINE PROHIBIT RACIST BEHAVIOR HATE SPEECH AND BULLYING COMMUNICATE THESE POLICIES TO ALL STUDENTS STAFF AND PARENTS AND THERE MUST BE CONSISTENT AND TRANSPARENT ENFORCEMENT OF THESE POLICIES WITH REAL CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATIONS. SECOND, WE NEED MANDATORY TRAINING FOR SCHOOL STAFF AND STUDENTS ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION THIS TRAINING SHOULD EDUCATE OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY ABOUT THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RACISM HATE PROMOTING UNDERSTANDING AND EMPATHY AND PROVIDING TOOLS RECOGNIZING AND ADDRESSING DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOR. THIRD, WE TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF BULLYING AND HATE SPEECH WITH COUNSELING SERVICES SAFE REPORTING MECHANISMS AND A COMMITMENT TO TAKING EVERY REPORT SERIOUSLY AND RESPONDING PROMPTLY.

081THE KANSFIELD HIGH BASEBALL TEAM HOWEVER I, I WASN'T SURPRISED AND THAT DOESN'T STEM FROM A LACK OF FAITH THAT COMES FILL ITSELF FOR BASEBALL BUT RATHER FROM BROADER OBSERVATIONS I'VE MADE REGARDING SPORTS IN OUR DISTRICT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IN MY INTERACTION WITH CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS MANY OF WHOM ATTEND TO VBC, I'VE HEARTBREAKING STORIES FROM STUDENTS ENDURING DEROGATORY REMARKS FEELING UNWELCOME AT CERTAIN SCHOOLS, HEARING RACIAL SLURS DURING ITS SPORTING EVENTS OR JUST FEELING COMPLETELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN VISITING CERTAIN SCHOOLS. MOREOVER, I'VE NOTICED SUBTLE BUT NO LESS FORMS OF PREJUDICE AMONG ADULTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN PEOPLE ADVISE OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY'RE MOVING HERE TO STEER CLEAR OF SOCIAL OF CERTAIN SCHOOLS PARTICULARLY THOSE WITH CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS USING CERTAIN NICKNAMES OR SAYING CERTAIN ONES ARE BAD PERPETUATING HARMFUL STEREOTYPE DIVISIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY MY LACK MY

082LACK OF SURPRISE AT THESE EXTENDS TO THE INEQUITIES I WITNESSED FIRSTHAND AS A SPORTS PARENT WHILE OUR DISTRICT MAY ALLOCATE SIMILAR FUNDS TO ATHLETIC FACILITIES CROSS THE SCHOOLS THE STARK DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SAY FOR EXAMPLE THE BASEBALL FIELDS COX HIGH SCHOOL IN THOSE AT GREEN RUN OR BETWEEN KELLERMAN BAYSIDE CANNOT BE IGNORED THE DISCREPANCIES ARE LARGELY FUELED BY THE INFLUENCE BOOSTER CLUBS CONSIDER ALSO CONSIDER ALSO THE DISPARITY IN RESOURCES ALLOCATED EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES LIKE THEATER AND THAT INCREDIBLE AND JROTC TONIGHT WE'LL BOTH KELLERMANN GREEN KELMANN GREEN RUN MAY BOAST TALENTED DIRECTORS DEDICATED STUDENTS THE DISCREPANCY IN AVAILABLE RESOURCES IS GLARING WHEN YOU GO TO THE SCHOOLS THAT THIS INEQUITY NOT ONLY UNDERMINES THE EFFORT TO THE HARD WORKING STUDENTS AND LEADERS SENDS A DAMAGING MESSAGE ABOUT THE VALUE OUR COMMUNITY PLACES ON THESE ENDEAVORS. THIS STARK CONTRASTING

083RESOURCES SENDS A DAMAGING MESSAGE TO OUR STUDENTS ABOUT HOW WE AS COMMUNITY VALUE THEM WHEN WE SEE SUCH GLARING DISPARITIES IN FACILITIES UNIFORMS RESOURCES IT COMMUNITIES TO COMMUNITIES TO THEM THAT THEY'RE WORTH THEIR POTENTIAL ARE NOT EQUAL IN HER EYES BY ALLOWING THEM TO PERSIST WE PERPETUATE THESE RACIST ACTOR ACTIONS FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THESE PRACTICES AND ATTITUDES ARE NOT ONLY TOLERATED BUT NORMALIZED IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE SITUATIONS WE SEE HAPPENING ON OUR SPORTS FIELDS AND WHAT HAPPENED IN HUNTSVILLE I'M NOT BLAMING IT BUT I THINK CONTRIBUTES TO WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON. SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION IT BEGINS BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND PROBLEM AND COMMITTING TO CHANGE LIKE OTHERS SAID WE MUST WE MUST PRIORITIZE CULTURAL COMPETENCY. WE MUST COME INCLUDE COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION THAT INCLUDES ALL ASPECTS OF HISTORY BUT WE ALSO

084MUST ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THE SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES INCLUDING THOSE IMPACTED BOOSTER COLLAPSED BEYOND POLICY CHANGES BEYOND POLICY CHANGES, WE MUST FOSTER A CULTURE INCLUSIVELY AND SUPPORT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. IT'S TIME FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND DO BETTER WE MUST BE INTENTIONAL IN OUR COMMITMENT AND THAT INCLUDES ALSO TONIGHT STANDING AGAINST THE SCHOOL VOUCHERS ON THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. THANK YOU >> HER NEXT >> NEXT SPEAKER IS DR. ERIC MCGEADY AND THEN BERNITA RICHARDSON. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GOING TO GET PRESIDENT OF VIRGINIA BEACH AND EKPE RENCHER VIRGINIA BEACH JUST HAVING CELEBRATED THE 7TH VERSION OF BROWN VERSUS BOARD OF EDUCATION. WE STAND HERE NOW CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. WE AS THEY ARE STILL FIGHTING TO BE TREATED EQUALLY WITHIN VIRGINIA SCHOOL THERE'S

085A LONG HISTORY LONG HISTORY OF RACISM WITHIN VIRGINIA WHERE SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED FOR FOR A YEAR AND MANY DISTRICTS OF ADDRESSING ISSUE OF RACE, EQUITY AND EQUALITY HEARING ABOUT THE RACISM AND SEVEN CHILDREN WERE FORCED TO ENDURE OR THE BASEBALL TEAM WAS DISHEARTENING HOWEVER NOT SURPRISING TO AS PRESIDENT OF THE VIRGINIA BEACH NAACP BRANCH WE HAS BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST RACISM SINCE 1941 AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE DOUBLE STANDARDS OF OTHERS. EVERY BLACK BROWN YELLOW, YELLOW, GREEN PURPLE STUDENT DESERVES ACCESS TO RESOURCES A GREAT TEACHER AND A SAFE FLOATING AROUND ME IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT CONTINUE TO LIKE THESE INCIDENTS ISOLATED AND SCANT IN THE BUT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN GREAT NUMBERS. BUT AND WHAT IS ISOLATED ARE THE NUMBER PEOPLE WHO REPORTED OUR PHONES HAVE BEEN RINGING OFF THE HOOK FROM

086PARENTS STORIES OF RACISM WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WITHIN THE CHILDREN RANGING FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS TO HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. WE GET PHONE NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE LOCALLY FROM DALLAS I GOT PHONE CALLS CHICAGO WHAT IS HAPPENING DOWN IS HAPPENING DOWN THERE IN VIRGINIA BEACH WE CALL FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE STOPPED SWEEPING THESE COMPLAINTS ASIDE AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM BY DECREASING THE RACIST INCIDENTS WE CALL THE SENSITIVITY TRAINING FOR OUR STAFF STUDENTS BECAUSE RACISM IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR AND TOGETHER WE CAN LEARN A BETTER WAY TO INTERACT WITH EACH WE CALL FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS THAT HAVE A PROVEN HISTORY OF EFFECTIVENESS INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT TO TRY TO CREATE A NEW SYSTEM. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BERNITA RICHARDSON. GOOD

087EVENING. MEMBERS THE SCHOOL BOARD MY NAME IS BERNARDO RICHARDSON AND I AM THE PARENT OF TWO STUDENTS WHO HAVE ONE WHO HAS MATRICULATED THROUGH THE VIRGINIA SCHOOL SYSTEM AND ONE WHO WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I TOO CAN SHARE THAT MY CHILDREN HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ON MANY OCCASIONS SO I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ONE SITUATION THAT OCCURRED WHEN I JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE MONITORING WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CLASS . THEY WERE THE TEACHER HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT RECONSTRUCTION AND HE WANTED TO REENACT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE FOR STUDENTS DURING THAT TIME IN THE CLASS THE MAKEUP WAS ONE STUDENT WHOM THEY THOUGHT WAS WHITE. HE WAS ACTUALLY MIXED THERE WERE THREE STUDENTS IN THE CLASS WHO WERE LIGHTER SKINNED AND

088THEN THERE WERE SEVERAL STUDENTS WHO WERE DEEPLY. AND HAVE BROWN SKIN THE FIRST WHITE STUDENT WAS ASKED TO STAND UP TO PORTRAY THE ROLE OF A SLAVE ON THE THREE LIGHT SKINNED STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO PORTRAY THE ROLE OF FREEDMEN AND SEVERAL ABOUT SIX OF THE MORE MYELINATED STUDENTS WERE TOLD TO ACT AS NEWLY FREED SLAVES I IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE CLASS AND WENT TO SPEAK TO THE PRINCIPAL ABOUT THIS AND ALTHOUGH NOT SURPRISED, I WAS ENRAGED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SENSITIVITY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THIS WILL WOULD DO TO OUR STUDENTS SELF-ESTEEM THEY FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AT HAND THE IMPORTANCE OF VIEWING THIS HOW AS WOULD APPEAR TO OUR STUDENTS INTROSPECTIVELY WAS FAILED AND SO IN ESSENCE OUR KIDS WERE BEING FAILED THAT CLASS OR ANYONE WHO HAD THAT INSTRUCTOR AND EXPERIENCED I

089ASKED THAT WE STOP PRETENDING LIKE RACISM DOESN'T EXIST I ASKED THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND THEN I ASKED ASK THAT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO OUR ONLINE SPEAKERS SUNEO BUT PLEASE UNMUTED I YOU HEAR ME. PLEASE CONTINUE. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING DR. HERE BODIES FROM NOT BE THAT PERSON WERE KIND OF GOT ME TODAY AND I KNOW YOU IMAGINE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF COMMUNICATION FROM OTHER SPEAKERS TONIGHT REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT I ALSO WANT TO OFFER MY THOUGHTS AS YOU GO INTO SOME FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MATTER LATER SO THAT IDEA THAT DR. THAT DR. ROBERTSON MENTIONED AT A PREVIOUS MEETING ABOUT ADDING THE THIRD GRADE CLASS STATUS WITHIN FRAMEWORK OF THE CURRENT PROCESS USING THIS YEAR'S APPLICANT I THINK IS ONE OF THOSE UNCOMMENTED CHANCES

090FOR LOW COST, LOW BARRIER, HIGH VALUE INTERVENTION AND AMONG A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE PAST YEARS REALLY DESERVES SOME CONSIDERATION. AND I'LL BE BRIEF BUT THERE'S THERE'S A COUPLE OF SOLID BENEFITS THAT SOLID BENEFITS THAT COME OUT OF THIS. FIRST I THINK BY INCREASING ACCESS AT THAT GRADE YOU ALMOST COMPLETELY RECAPTURE THAT MISSED OF GIFTED CHILDREN AND USING THE CURRENT SCORING YOU SORT OF PUT TO REST THE ISSUES THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED LAST AND PUT IT TO REST IN A VERY POSITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE MANNER AND THAT'S MEANINGFUL I THINK TO THE PUBLIC PARENTS AND THEN JUST GENERAL WITH EDUCATION. SECONDLY, BY EXPANDING ACCESS WITHIN THE CURRENT FRAMEWORK YOU VALIDATE AND LEGITIMIZE SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE OVER THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR FOR THE SELECTION PROCESS

091FOR DIFFERENTIATION AND YOU KIND OF CODIFY THAT GOING FOR WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT . I THINK THAT'S HELPFUL AND FINALLY BY PUTTING THIS IN PLAY YOU SET THE CORNERSTONE FOR FORWARD CONSTRUCTIVE MOMENTUM FOR ANY IDEAS THAT THAT MAY BE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEAR GOING FORWARD AND ESPECIALLY AS THE POPULATION CHANGES REDISTRIBUTING AND REALLOCATING RESOURCES IN A WAY THAT'S MEANINGFUL SO STEPPING BACK AND KIND OF THINKING ABOUT THIS CRITICALLY I THINK THAT ADDING THE CLASSES IS A STREAMLINED AND VERY EXECUTE WILL APPROACH AND ANYTHING THAT I CAN UP WITH AGAINST IT SEEMS MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN NECESSARY AND REALLY AT THE EXPENSIVE WATER CAN ACHIEVE SO YOU. SO YOU KNOW, REALLY IN SUMMARY THINK ADDING THAT THIRD GRADE CLASS FROM THE APPLICANT POOL IS A VERY EASY WIN IT'S AN EASY WIN THAT ANYONE WHO

092HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH IT THROUGH WHETHER IT'S A PUBLIC ALL THE PARENTS THAT ARE CONCERNED AND VOICING THEIR OPINIONS THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD CAN REALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT AND SO AGAIN THIS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S LOW COSTELLO BARRIER HIGH VALUE, HIGH VALUE AND AND I THINK MEANINGFUL SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS LISTENING AND HOPEFULLY THIS BRIEF BIT PERSPECTIVE CAN HELP YOUR DISCUSSION LATER TONIGHT >>. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS NICOLE A. PLEASE UNMUTED OH CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? >> YES >> WE. PLEASE CONTINUE. >> THANK YOU GOOD EVENING BEFORE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND DR. ROBERTSON AS A PARENT OF A SECOND GRADE STUDENT I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT TO ADVOCATE FOR AN ADDITIONAL CLASS TO THE AUDIENCE FOR 3RD AGREED TO ACCOMMODATE MORE STUDENTS FROM THE 2ND GRADE COHORT WERE DENIED

093A FAIR AND APPROVED SELECTION PROCESS LAST OUR DAUGHTER IS DAUGHTER GHALIA IS ONE OF THESE STUDENTS SHE REPLIED THIS YEAR AND SHE WAS RATED AS PHI PHI PHI FIVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY SEATS ARE VERY LIMITED THIS YEAR REALISTIC CHANCE OF ACCEPTANCE WAS LAST YEAR BUT AFTER A WRONG AND UNAPPROVED DECISION SHE WAS NOT GIVEN PROPER >> OPPORTUNITY ALL OTHER ALL OTHER YEAR THE FIRST GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE HIGHEST HERE WERE OFFERED A SEAT BUT NOT LAST YEAR THERE MUST BE A REMEDY FOR THIS UNFAIRNESS. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EXTRA CLASS TO BE ADDED FOR THESE STUDENTS SINCE IS FEASIBLE AND THE ROOM IS AVAILABLE THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOUR SEATS NOT TO BE OFFERED TO THESE STUDENTS WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND ADDING SEATS TO THE SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT YEAR IS NOT ONLY NECESSARY

094BUT ALSO THE RIGHT THING TO DO THESE COHORT HAS SEEN A FORTY TWO PERCENT INCREASE IN STUDENTS REFERRED TO OVER THE LAST YEAR . WHY NOT OUT OF CLASS FOR THIS RECORD NUMBER OF STUDENTS IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE DR. BLOCKER AND MANY STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING TEACHERS AND GCSE MEMBERS AS PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS WE CANNOT AGREE THAT SUCH A NEW AND EXPENSIVE BUILDING AS ODIOUS SHOULD HAVE UNDER UTILIZED RULES WHILE OUR STUDENTS ARE LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SEATS OR THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE STUDENTS FROM THE TOP GEAR TO BE ACCOMMODATED AND SERVICE TO BE EXPENDED I URGE YOU TO OPENLY DISCUSS THIS MATTER AND ADD A THIRD CLASS TO THE OVER THE YEARS.

104THEIR CURRICULUM TO DO SO THOSE ARE THE ONES ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO THAT AFTER SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF DO DO VOTER REGISTRATION, THE DECISION FROM THE PRC WAS TO ONLY ALLOW THE VOTER REGISTRATION ELECTIONS OFFICE TO COME IN FIGURING THAT THERE WAS THE MOST AUTHORITY NONBIASED GROUPS OUT THERE AND OTHER GROUPS WOULD HAVE TO COME IN AND SEPARATE TIME PERIOD SO THEY BUT WHO AUTHORIZES BUT WHO AUTHORIZES THE TEACHERS? DR ROBERTSON IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS IN REGULATION OR I'M YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE WERE TO LOOK AT THIS POLICY AND SAY OH I WANT TO AUTHORIZED TEACHER HOW DO I GO ABOUT IT? I WON'T PRC CONVERSATION HAD TO DO WITH WHO WAS OFFERED THE CURRICULUM SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER IS WHERE IT SHOWED UP IN THE MAYBE MAYBE SHOULD SAY SPECIFIED TEACHERS

WE'RE NOT MEETING AGAIN TO JULY BY THE WAY IF I HAVE THE FLOOR. YES, OK, IF IT'S NOT TIME SENSITIVE WE'RE SAYING ANOTHER MONTH OF DISCUSSION IF WE ARE TRYING TO WORDSMITH THE WORDS OF WHAT AUTHORIZATION IS GOING TO BE IN WHICH STAFF MEMBERS I'D RATHER HAVE INPUT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ON HOW THEY WANT AT WORDED WE MAY HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE CURRICULUM ISSUES GOING ON YOU KNOW MAYBE, MAYBE A DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASS ENGLISH CLASS THAT HAS A CROSS-REFERENCE WITH OUR GOVERNMENT CLASSES OR WHATEVER. I WOULD PREFER IF WE'RE GOING TO HOLD STAFF ACCOUNTABLE IF SOMEBODY IS IN

108THE WRONG ROLE THAT WE HAVE INPUT THAT FOR WHATEVER IS GOING TO BE CLEAREST FOR THEM AND IT'S NOT TIME SENSITIVE THAT IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORDSMITH IT ON DIETS WE CAN BUT I BUT I DON'T SEE A REASON IT'S TYPICALLY GOVERNMENT TEACHERS COULD I MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT PERHAPS STAFF CAN US SOME RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE WORDING FOR IT TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD STILL THE NEXT MEETING SO IF YOU SO IF WE WANT TO I CAN I MORE STAFF AT THE CLARIFYING WHERE IT'S HEADED OUT TO IF IT OUT TO NEXT IF YOU DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING TAKE IT OFF CONSENT AND ONE I'D BE IN AGREEMENT.

OK, OK SO >> I WE'LL GET THE CLARIFYING LANGUAGE SEND IT OUT TO YOU AND IF YOU DISAGREE PLEASE LET US KNOW US KNOW BEFORE IT GOES UNCONSENTED REMOVE IT. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO THE CLARK HAS A QUESTION FIRST OF ALL AND I MEAN NO OFFENSE BUT I'D RATHER SEND THIS BACK TO GET THE LANGUAGE AND COME BACK TO US INSTEAD OF A GOING OUT THROUGH EMAIL AND PEOPLE WEIGHING IN ON SOMETHING AND THEN IT'S NOT I RESPECTFULLY JUST BE IT JUST BE SENT BACK TO THE PRC IS OPEN TO RECEIVING IT THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT NOW MADAM YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO SUGGEST I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IF IT IS GOING TO COME BACK TO PUT IT

110UNDER ACTION AND NOT CONCERNED BUT SINCE IT'S GOING BACK TO PRC IT'S NOT MY QUESTION. OK, THERE YOU GO. AND WITH THAT MADAM, WE'LL MOVE POLICY 650 SO I'M SORRY I SO I'M SORRY I CAN'T OH I CAN SEE OUT HERE. GO AHEAD I'M SORRY I'M SORRY MISS BROWN. OK SO I THINK AND I JUST WANTED TO ADD SOME CLARITY FOR THE BOARD SO LAST YEAR AN ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS NONPARTIZAN HOWEVER IS ACTUALLY PARTIZAN REACHED OUT TO ME AND ASKED IF ORGANIZATIONS WERE ALLOWED TO HAND OUT VOTER REGISTRATION AND CONDUCT VOTER REGISTRATION WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DAYS AND I LOOKED AT OUR POLICY AND REALIZED THAT IT DOES IN FACT ALLOW FOR IT. AND SO IN EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SWAY STUDENTS EITHER DIRECTION I HAD ASKED FOR

111A TWEAKING THE LANGUAGE AND IT TURNS OUT THAT OUR TEACHERS THE GOVERNMENT CLASSES ALREADY HAND OUT THE VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION TO OUR STUDENTS AND SO THAT WAS THE REASON THAT WE HAD TO I'M HAPPY REVISITED AND IT AND I DON'T CARE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S UP HERE THERE BUT THANKS SO DO WHO WHO COMES INTO THE SCHOOLS LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS THERE COULD BE ANYWHERE YOU COULD ALSO HAVE STUDENT GROUPS SOME OF THE CONCERN WOULD BE A STUDENT THOUGHT THAT THEY AT THE REGISTRATION AND TURNED IT INTO SOMEBODY IN DIDN'T GET TURNED IN WE DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A STUDENT THINKING THAT THEY'RE REGISTERED TO VOTE. YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAKING IT AND FILING IT YOURSELF BUT ON THE OFF CHANCE THIS GROUP IS NOT FOLLOWING

112PROCEDURE WE DIDN'T WANT SCHOOL DIVISION TO BE A SMALL WE DON'T WANT A WE DON'T WANT A STUDENT THINKING THAT PROPERLY REGISTERED WHEN THEY DIDN'T GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION. SO THE THOUGHT WAS WHO WOULD BE MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT GOVERNMENT TEACHERS SIMPLY HANDING OUT THE APPLICATION GIVE YOU THE PROCESS THEY'RE NOT PROCESSING IT FOR YOU. THEY'RE JUST GIVING SWING HOW YOU DO IT AND THEN THE VOTER REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS OFFICE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE VIRGINIA BEACH WOULD BE THE PROBABLY THE MOST NEUTRAL ORGANIZATION TO HELP YOU WITH THAT SO WE THOUGHT THAT THIS THOUGHT THAT THOSE WOULD BE THE TWO REASONABLE AREAS TO RECEIVE IT. OK, ALL RIGHT. LOOKING AT POLICIES 56 THIS IS BACK TO INSTRUCTION. WE KICK THIS POLICY ON STUDENT TRAVEL SCHOOL SPONSORED EVENTS IN AND IN POLITICS. FIFTY SIX AROUND COUPLE THAT

113PART OF THE CONCERN WAS WHEN CONCERN WAS WHEN YOU LOOK UNDER SECTION D UNDER TRANSPORTATION ONE IT DID SAY IN THE EVENT OF THE SCHOOL DIVISION EMPLOYEES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO OUR RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. THE SCHOOL BOARD PREFERS SCHOOL DIVISION VEHICLES MAY NOT BE MAYBE YEARS BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CONCERN WAS IT ALLOWED POTENTIALLY TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT EITHER OUR EMPLOYEES OR AUTHORIZED SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS TO BE DRIVING VEHICLES WE DID WORK BACK AND FORTH BUSINESS WITH MANAGEMENT. WANT TO CLARIFY THAT OUR SCHOOL DIVISION VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE USED BY ANYBODY OTHER SOMEONE IS AUTHORIZES THE DRIVER FOR A DRIVER FOR US TO DO THAT AND CLARIFICATION ON SECTION TWO THAT VEHICLE CELL ACTIVITIES FROM THE COMMERCIAL CARRIES COMMERCIAL CARRIERS PROVISION UNDER SECTION TWO THAT THERE ARE NO RECOMMENDED CHANGES UNDER POLICY SIX

114FIFTY SIX OF ANY QUESTIONS 56 I'M SIX I'M SORRY THERE'S ONE CLARIFICATION COMING DOWN UNDER THE SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENTS WE CLARIFIED BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF ATHLETICISM THIS IT'S JUST WE CLARIFIED LANGUAGE PRIOR YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEND IN THE PARENTAL ATHLETIC FIELD FORM NO OTHER CHANGES NO OTHER CHANGES AFTER THAT AGAIN ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON SIX FIFTY SIX NO QUESTIONS ON FIFTY SIX FIFTY SIX WILL MOVE ON TO POLICY SEVEN FORTY EIGHT THIS IN OUR COMMUNITY RELATIONS SECTION OF OUR COMMUNITY USE A SCHOOL FACILITIES GENERALLY WE WILL BE ADDING A THIRD PARAGRAPH THIS GOES BACK TO MRS. MANNINGS DISCUSSIONS. WE THOUGHT THIS WILL CLARIFY SEPARATED OUT THE LANGUAGE AND A THIRD PARAGRAPH WOULD THE SUPERINTENDENT DESTINY'S CHILD CREATE REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING PERMITTED USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD COMMA IN

115ACCORDANCE WITH LAW AND REGULATION AND THAT WAS ASKED TO BE SENT BACK TO US. I THINK ABOUT THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF YOU SO THAT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE PRC IS SUGGESTING AND CAN I GET SOME CLARIFICATION ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN SO LET ME GIVE AN EXAMPLE SO MY WIFE AND I WILL VIRTUALLY EVERY NIGHT HAS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE BACK OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE TEAMS ON DIFFERENT NIGHTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ON VARIOUS SEASONS USING THE HUGE BACK FIELD AREA I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT THE PRINCIPAL HAS NO IDEA THAT THESE TEAMS ARE SHOWING UP TO USE THEIR FIELDS AS A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL I WAS AWARE OF MY FILES WERE USED FOR THE MOST PART BASEBALL FIELD, SOFTBALL FIELDS WRESTLER ROOM FOR FOUR FOR WRESTLING CLUBS

116BASKETBALL FOR A YOU I'M GOING I'M GOING TO NEED SOME CLARIFICATION OR THIS REPORT COULD BE REAMS OF PAPER REPORTING AND IT WOULD ADD A BURDEN TO EVERY SCHOOL TO TO DOCUMENT THOSE GROUPS THAT AT LEAST AT THIS POINT PARTICULARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE NOT GOING OUT THERE AND GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. THERE'S AN OPEN SPACE THERE'S GRABBING THE SPACE AND THEY'RE USING IT SO I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON WHAT WHAT REGULATIONS I'D BE CREATING. WHAT'S THE THRESHOLD SO IT SAYS PERMITTED USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES SO IF WE HAVE A PERMIT FOR SOMEONE TO USE THE FACILITY THEN THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE REPORTED IS HOW I READ THIS LANGUAGE SO AND HONESTLY WE SHOULD KNOW WHO'S USING OUR FACILITIES. I MEAN IF THEY IF THEY'VE ASKED USE OUR FACILITIES THERE'S A PROCESS A

117PROCESS THEY NEED TO FOLLOW AND THERE IS A PROCESS FOR THAT THAT GOES THROUGH THIS OFFICE. SO YEAH, I'M NOT DISAGREEING I'M JUST SAYING I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR FEELS THAT ARE BEING USED AT THE ELEMENTARY MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE THE USERS OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE NOT GONE TO THE PRINCIPAL IN THAT WOULDN'T BE IT'S NOT PERMITTED SO IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE REPORTED PERMITTED WITH OR WITHOUT A FEE OR WHETHER IT SAYS FOR REPORTING THE PERMITTED USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES. SO IF THERE'S IF THEY HAD TO COMPLETE PAPERWORK AND GET A PERMIT TO USE THE FACILITIES, THEN THAT'S OK IF IT'S GONE THROUGH THE FACILITY USE PROCESS VERY GOOD THOSE ALL THOSE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE POLICY COMMITTEE. OK, NEXT WE WELCOME CRYSTAL PATE, OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR

OK, THANK YOU. OK THANK YOU. THANK ALL RIGHT AND LAST THIS EVENING ON INFORMATION IS THE VIRGINIA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION VESUVIUS LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS AND I TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE DAVID COLPEPER, CHAIR EARLIER THIS MONTH THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MET TO DISCUSS

151THE SBA LOBBYING POSITIONS AND THE PROCESS LEADING UP TO THE DELEGATE SIMPLY TO MODIFY THOSE POSITIONS I'LL TRY TO MAKE THIS AS QUICK AS I CAN YOU FLIP TO PAGE TWO OF THE DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE WAS GOING TO BE TWO PARAGRAPHS HERE THAT KIND OF SUMMARIZE HOW THE PROCESS WORKS AND HOW WE INTEGRATE INTO THAT. SO PARAGRAPH IN THE SPRING OF EACH YEAR THE VBA BEGINS AND EIGHT MONTH PROCESS TO DETERMINE STATEWIDE LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR THIS PROCESS AS HAS NUMEROUS STEPS. ONE POSITION PROPOSALS REMEMBER BOARDS OR SOLICITED USUALLY IN MARCH OR APRIL TWO. THE VRBA LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS COMMITTEE REVIEWS THEM IN APPROXIMATELY JULY AND FORGE THE PROPOSED NEW OR MODIFIED POSITIONS TO THE VRBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHICH THEN CONSIDERS THEM AROUND AUGUST AND RECOMMENDS CHANGES THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER

152WHICH IN TURN PROVES DELETES REVISES AND PROPOSED CHANGES PROPOSES CHANGES TO OLD AND NEW LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT STEP ONE THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE THE MEETING EARLIER THIS MONTH WAS WHICH WHICH WAS FOR US TO PREPARE IF WE HAD ANY POSITIONS WE WANTED TO SUBMIT TO THE SBA AS A AS A NEW OR MODIFIED POSITION TO THEIR CURRENT LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS. WE HAD NONE SO THE NEXT THING FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT ANY MODIFIED OR NEW POSITIONS THAT OTHER BOARDS SUBMIT TO THE SBA WILL BE REVIEWED AND FORWARDED BY THE RBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SO SOME AROUND AUGUST WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE THOSE NEW OR MODIFIED POSITIONS PUT TOLD NO BOARDS THE MEMBER BOARDS FOR US TO REVIEW YOU MIGHT REMEMBER DOING THAT LAST YEAR WHERE YEAR OR AS

153WE DISCUSSED THEIR POSITIONS AND DECIDED WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT THEM AT THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER RIGHT NOW REFER YOU TO THE LAST THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON PAGE TWO NO SCHOOL BOARD IN VIRGINIA IS BOUND BY ANY POSITION OF THE ASSOCIATION BOARD THAT WISHES TO ADOPT A LEGISLATIVE POSITION DIFFERING FROM THE ACTIONS TAKEN SBA DELEGATE ASSEMBLY DELEGATE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO ONLY MEET AFTER DELEGATE ASSEMBLY MEETING ASSEMBLY MEETING AND ADOPT A LOCAL POSITION ABSENT THAT ACTION AND NOTIFICATION TO VEBA SCHOOL BOARDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY EVEN IF THEY WERE ON THE LOSING SIDE OF PARTICULAR VOTE WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES SUPPORTING THE SBA. THE SBA POSITION SO THAT IS THE THE LAST THING FOR US TO DO IN THIS PROCESS IS THAT IS AFTER THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER WE

154WOULD THEN AGAIN CONVENIENT TO DISCUSS ANY POSITIONS THAT WE DIFFER FROM THE OUTCOME OF THAT DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND NOTIFY IF WE DIFFER WE DIFFER FROM THOSE POSITIONS. SO THE FOLLOWING PAGES HERE ARE OUR SEVEN POSITIONS THAT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED BOARD CONSIDER THAT WE DIFFER FROM THE POSITIONS YOU RECOGNIZE MOST OF THEM THERE LIKE I SAID THERE ARE SEVEN FOUR OF THEM WE THEM WE DISCUSSED LAST YEAR AND VOTED TO NOT SUPPORT THE POSITIONS ON I'LL GO THROUGH THEM BRIEFLY FOR 16 EMPLOYEE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS IF YOU GUYS WANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY FOR CLARIFICATION, JUST STOP BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY FAST BECAUSE I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT YOU REMEMBER AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW I'M HAPPY TO FOR SIXTEEN EMPLOYEE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FIVE POINT FIVE

155LOCAL CHOICE HEALTH BENEFITS FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS GOOD A QUESTION ON A QUESTION ON THE FOUR POINT SIXTEEN IF YOU CAN REFRESH MY MEMORY. I GUESS ON WHY THE BOARD DOESN'T WANT TO SUPPORT EMPLOYEE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS IN THIS WAY ANYBODY FOR ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE BRIEFCASE BRIEF BECAUSE WHEN I HAD TO PLEASE DO LAST YEAR DISCUSSION ON THIS REVOLVED LARGELY AROUND HOW THE PROCESS WORKS HERE AND WHAT IT COSTS I THINK WE REACHED A CONSENSUS LAST YEAR THAT TO A WE HAVE A PROCESS IT IS EFFECTIVE IN THE COST OF SUPPORTING THIS NEW PROCESS WERE UNKNOWN AND WE DIDN'T FEEL WE NEEDED A DIFFERENT PROCESS BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, THE ONE WE HAVE IS EFFECTIVE. BUT YEAH, I THINK IN OUR COMMITTEE WE ACTUALLY SUGGESTED THAT WE NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO

156H.R. AND ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR VIEW ON THIS. SO I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, MISS WOODHOUSE, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE LIKE DAVID SAID, THERE COULD BE SOME HUGE COSTS IN THESE TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THIS LEGISLATION AND THIS WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE BACKGROUND CHECKS. WELL, IT SAYS THE SBA SUPPORTS LEGISLATION THAT PROVIDES STATE FUNDING TO CONDUCT FEDERAL AND STATE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ALL NEW EMPLOYEES FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO ESTABLISH A STATE CLEARING HOUSE OF CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS SUPPORTS THE STATE FULLY RUNNING LOCAL PARTICIPATION IN VIRGINIA'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FBI. THE FBI'S NEXT-GENERATION IDENTIFICATION AND NON CRIMINAL JUSTICE WRAP BACK SERVICE SO I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD. ARE WE DOING THAT AND DO WE WANT TO

157DO THAT? WELL, AND IT DEPENDS THE BOARD CURRENTLY OUR EMPLOYEES PAY FOR THEIR BACKGROUND CHECKS SO WE HAVE SOME EMPLOYEE GROUPS IN WHICH WE AS A DIVISION DO INCUR COSTS SO WE DO PAY THE PAY THE COST FOR OUR BUS DRIVERS AND OUR TEACHER ASSISTANTS, OUR OTHER EMPLOYEES THEY PAY THE COSTS COST WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SEVEN THAT COVID IS IT THE TRAFFIC TYPE OF BACKGROUND CHECK THAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO IS THAT WHAT WE USE THAT IS WHAT WE USED YES CURRENT BOTH CURRENTLY AND WE BOTH WE RUN THROUGH THE STATE AS WELL AS ALL OTHER AVENUES THAT'S REQUIRED BY CODE WHAT I PERCEIVE THIS TO SAY BASICALLY WAS DO WE WANT THE STATE TO FUND IT AS WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO RECRUIT MORE EMPLOYEES WOULD FUNDING BE A BENEFIT TO THOSE IN GANGWAYS I

158YEAH, I WOULD BE FINE WITH SUPPORTING US, MR. COLPEPER. SO JUST THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. NONE OF THESE ARE ACTUAL THINGS THAT THE SBA IS GOING TO RICHMOND AND ADVOCATING FOR. THERE HAS MATCHING BE MATCHING LEGISLATION WHICH IS WHY IT SAYS THE VSP SUPPORTS LEGISLATION THAT PROVIDES STATE FUNDS TO CONDUCT FEDERAL AND STATE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. SO BASICALLY IF SOMEBODY WRITES A BILL THIS IS THIS IS ACTUALLY A BILL I MEAN THIS WAS A POSITION THAT ANOTHER DIVISION CAME UP WITH PROBABLY A SCHOOL DIVISION THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE KIND OF FUNDS THAT THAT WE HAVE BUT ONLY IF SOMEBODY WRITES A BILL THEN IT ACTIVATES THESE THINGS THAT ARE INVISIBLE HAND LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY. BUT THAT'S IT SO NOBODY'S WALKING AROUND WITH BIG HANDBOOKS AND SAYING THESE ARE ALL OF OUR THINGS

159THEY HAVE TO HAVE A MATCHING PIECE OF LEGISLATION THIS THERE ISN'T ONE FOR NOW SO BASICALLY WHAT WE WOULD BE SAYING AS VBS BBC'S THAT IF WE WERE AGAINST THIS THEN WE WOULD BE AGAINST THE STATE FUNDING THIS IF THERE WERE MATCHING LEGISLATION IN WHICH I WOULD SAY WHY WOULD WE BE AGAINST STATE FUNDING FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS? SO I THINK AND THAT THIS WAS THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH THE LEGISLATIVE KESSLER THE LEGISLATIVE THE LEGISLATIVE GUY WITH VRBA HE'S ASKING US NOT TO OVERTHINK ALL OF THESE THINGS. HE SAID THESE WERE POSITIONS THAT OTHER BOARDS CAME UP WITH SO AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR CONVERSATION AND TONIGHT YOU SAID WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET OR WE WE COULD MEET AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING. SO SOMEBODY WROTE THIS ONE AND

160A COMMITTEE MET AND SAID YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT KNOW WHAT THE SBA WOULD SUPPORT THIS IF THERE WERE MATCHING IF THERE WERE A MATCHING PIECE OF LEGISLATION BUT FOR RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOTHING THAT MATCHES ANYTHING WITH THE SBA BUT I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO SO I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE. MISS BROWN SO I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK TO OUR NOVEMBER 14TH MEETING THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE VOTED ON AS A BOARD TO NOT SUPPORT ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT WAS AN EIGHT TO VOTE. I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THE NAMES BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE IN THE ADVOCATING UP HERE THAN THE VOTES IN NOVEMBER AND THAT'S FINE. BUT THIS WAS ONE THAT WE ALREADY VOTED IN AN EIGHT TO VOTE TO NOT NOT SUPPORT BUT I HAVE

161MORE ABOUT THE OTHER STUFF BUT I'LL SAVE THAT FOR LATER. OK, SO I JUST I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT IN ADDITION TO THE BENEFIT OF HAVING STATE FUNDS TO HELP COVER THE BACKGROUND CHECKS WHICH CAN BE CUMBERSOME FOR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN A PAYCHECK YET BUT WE WANT THEM TO COME AND WORK FOR US. THE PART ABOUT THE STATE DEPT. OF ED ESTABLISHING A CLEARINGHOUSE FOR RESULTS WOULD HELP SO THAT WHEN SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR A JOB IN CHESAPEAKE AND THEY DON'T GET ACCEPTED BECAUSE THEY HAD A CRIMINAL THING TWO YEARS LATER THEY COME BACK TO A DIFFERENT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SEE MAYBE I CAN GO IN BECAUSE MAYBE THEY'RE GOING TO START ME AND WORK ME FOR FOUR MONTHS BEFORE THEY DO A BACKGROUND CHECK OR MAYBE THEY'RE NOT GOING

162TO DO IT AT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE THE BACKGROUND CHECK COULD AT LEAST START OFF THE PROCESS BY LOOKING IN THE REGISTRY AND SAYING NOW MR. JOHNSON ALREADY HAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BAR HIM FROM EMPLOYING HIM SO I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT GIVEN WHAT WE'VE HAD AN EMPLOYEE ISSUES IN THE MEDIA WITH THINGS HAPPENING PORNOGRAPHY AND OTHER THINGS WITH OUR EMPLOYEES NOW LET'S GET A BACKGROUND CHECKS PERHAPS THIS SEEMS LIKE EASY ONE FOR ME SO IN IN IN FAIRNESS, I DON'T THINK WE WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD I WAS NOT ON LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE LAST YEAR I WAS NOT PART OF THE VA ASSEMBLY THAT HAPPENED I DON'T THINK WE HAD A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THESE PRIORITIES MEANT AND I THINK WE

163WERE THINKING A LITTLE TOO HEAVY ABOUT THE EFFECT ON OUR SCHOOL BOARD BUT NONE OF THESE ARE THINGS YET. BUT AGAIN, GO AHEAD. THAT'S DON'T OVERTHINK THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. POINT OF ORDER. ARE WE GOING TO VOTE ON THESE? THIS IS INFORMATION TOMORROW THESE WON'T COME BACK UP FOR UP FOR A VOTE ON NOVEMBER. OK, NO NO NO THAT'S NOT. THAT'S NOT THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS IF WE ARE OPPOSED TO ANY OF THESE. VRBA POSITIONS THERE'S PAPERWORK THAT HAS TO BE FILLED OUT AND SUBMITTED IN LIKE TWO WEEKS AND THEN THAT GETS SENT TO VA AND THAT'S WHY I READ THAT PARAGRAPH JUST MOMENTS AGO THAT THE SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE VOTE HAS TO OCCUR AFTER THE DELEGATE TO SIMPLY NOVEMBER. NO, NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. THE VOTE

164THIS IS ONE THAT HE KNOWS IN NOW IT SUBMITTED NOW AND IF YOU DON'T SUBMIT IT IN TWO WEEKS YOU DON'T YOU DON'T HAVE A VOICE IF IT'S IF IT'S AN OPPOSING YOU YOU DON'T HAVE A VOICE AND NOBODY'S ALLOWED TO GO TO DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND VOTE NO AT THE ASSEMBLY THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS, MAN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS LAST PARAGRAPH THAN THAT MR. CULPEPER READ NO SCHOOL BOARD IN VIRGINIA BOUND BY ANY POSITION OF THE ASSOCIATE, ANY BOARD THAT WISHES TO ADOPT A LEGISLATIVE POSITION DIFFERING FROM THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE V.A. DELEGATE ASSEMBLY NEEDS ONLY TO MEET AFTER THE VA DELEGATE ASSEMBLY. SO IF WE HAVE A VOTE BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY IT DOESN'T MATTER AND IT MEANS NOTHING LEONETTI DO SO WE ROAD AHEAD OF TIME IS FOR THEM PREPARING THE

165COMMITTEE TO CHANGE ANYTHING SO IF YOU WANT ANYTHING CHANGE OR HAVE THEM CONSIDER CHANGES I'VE GOT TO TELL THEM NOW IF YOU WANT THEM TO CONSIDER IT BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN STILL VOTE AFTER NOVEMBER WANT YOU WANT TO INFLUENCE THEIR COMMITTEE NOW TIME TO DO IT SO THAT THERE ON TIME BECAUSE I THINK THEY MEET IN JULY CORRECT. THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS THOUGH. THE ISSUE OF THE ISSUE OF ASKING FOR A CHANGE THEM TO CHANGE THEIR POSITION AND DECLARING OUR POSITIONS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS WHICH IS WHY I POINTED OUT IN BEGINNING THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO NOT RECOMMENDED ANY OF THESE GO FORWARD AS REQUEST FOR A CHANGE THEIR THEIR POSITIONS IF SOMEBODY WAS TO ADVOCATE FOR US TO DO THAT, MAKE A MOTION TO DO SO. OK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M SORRY COULD

166YOU CLARIFY THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WAS THE THAT WAS THE INTENT OF ME READING THE TWO PARAGRAPHS THEY DESCRIBE THE DESCRIBE THE TWO DIFFERENT STEPS HERE? THE FIRST ONE WHICH IS WHY WE MET IN EARLY MAY IS TO DETERMINE IF WE THE SCHOOL BOARD OF VIRGINIA BEACH WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR A CHANGE OR IN ADDITION TO THE CPA'S LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS WE WE HAVE NO CHANGES NO CHANGES TO THEIR LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS THE SECOND THING IS DO WE WISH TO DECLARE TO THEM THAT THERE ARE SPECIFIC POSITIONS THEY TAKE THAT OUR SCHOOL BOARD DOES NOT AGREE WITH AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER AND THAT'S WHAT I'M JUST GUESSING NOW IS THAT WE RECOMMENDED WE SUBMITTED TO THE SBA. WE DON'T CONCUR WITH ALL THE DIFFERENCE BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT

167THIS IS THIS IS WE'RE NOT ADVOCATING FOR THE SBA TO CHANGE THEIR THAT'S ALREADY PASSED. RIGHT. OK, I UNDERSTAND THE DID YOU SPEAK WITH ANYBODY AT THE SBA YOU THAT, YOU HAD YOU INDICATED TO ME THAT YOU WE'RE GOING TO THAT'S WHY I'M SPEAKING. OK, THAT'S I'M TELLING YOU BUT YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THINK I DON'T KNOW OK. ALL RIGHT. FIVE POINT FIVE LOCAL CHOICE HEALTH BENEFITS FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AGAIN I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING WITH YOU GUYS. WE'LL TALK TWENTY FIVE POINT SEVEN FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR SCHOOL BOARDS THIS ONE RELATES TO TAXING AUTHORITY I'M SO SORRY I SHOULD I SHOULD TELL YOU TELL YOU THAT FIVE POINT FIVE IS ONE I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE NOBODY KNEW WHAT IT WAS AND IT JUST DOESN'T APPLY AT ALL

168AND SO IT WAS ONE THAT THAT POPPED WE TALKED AND TALKED JT AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE WHAT COULD THIS HAVE POSSIBLY MEANT AND THERE WAS NO REAL REASON FOR THIS OTHER THAN IT PROBABLY CAME FROM A SCHOOL DIVISION AGAIN AND AT SOME POINT IN TWENTY SEVEN IT MAY HAVE SEEMED APPROPRIATE FOR A SPECIFIC SCHOOL DIVISION AND IT GOT PICKED UP BUT YES ENDORSEMENTS AND SO SINCE 07. THAT'S YOUR POINT THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CORRESPONDING LETTER A CORRESPONDING BILL THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CORRESPONDING BILL. SO IT MEANS NOTHING. SO OK FIVE POINT NINE RIGHT OF SCHOOL BOARDS NINE OUT OF SCHOOL BOARDS OF SCHOOL BOARDS TO IMPLEMENT EDUCATION REFORMS WE ACTUALLY SKIP THIS ONE THIS WAS ACTUALLY NOT THIS ISN'T YOUR BY MISTAKE HE MISTAKE. IT WAS NOT VOTED GO FORWARD TO THE BOARD

169SEVEN POINT ONE SUPPORT FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS. DID YOU NOT LIKE WHEN I KNOW IT IS THERE BY MISTAKE THAT WAS NOT VOTED TO GO FORWARD BUT BUT MANY OTHER MEASURES CORRECT. SO NOW YOU'RE ON SEVEN POINT ONE SIMPLE ONE SUPPORT FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS NINE NINE POINT THIRTEEN. YEAH. UM SO COUPLE OF US WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT SUPPORTING VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS. OH, MISS RIGGS I JUST WANT TO I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT READ ACTUALLY ABOUT THAT I TOTALLY DISAGREE BUDGET SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND ALL THOSE OTHER ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE THE FOCUS OF OUR ATTENTION WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE SO THAT AN ATTACK ON OUR SCHOOL DIVISION CAN BE THE TOPIC OF THE EVENING A PUNCH LINE FOR THE COMMUNITIES TO

170MARCUS AT A POLITICAL STUNT THAT DOES FOR THE GREATER GOOD THE SCHOOL BOARD OR OUR STUDENTS FOR ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE YEARS SINCE THE FIRST SCHOOL WAS BUILT IN PRESENT COUNTY, OUR SCHOOL VISION OF VIRGINIA BEACH IS A CORNERSTONE OF OUR COMMUNITY PROVIDING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND, THEIR MILITARY FAMILIES AND GENERATIONAL BEACH FAMILIES FOSTER FOSTERS SOCIAL COHESION BY BRINGING TOGETHER STUDENTS FROM ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS WHERE WE STRIVE TO TEACH COMMON VALUES RESPECT SUCH AS RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY AND CITIZENSHIP THE BBC'S SERVES AS A COMMUNITY HUB OFFERING NOT JUST ACADEMIC EDUCATION BUT ALSO ESSENTIAL SERVICES SUCH AS MEALS, COUNSELING AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORTING THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS INSTRUMENTAL IN GIVING NEVER CHILD A CHANCE TO SUCCEED AND PURSUE THEIR DREAMS BY INVESTING IN

171PUBLIC EDUCATION WE INVEST FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITIES ENSURE ENSURING THAT ALL OUR KIDS AND OUR NEIGHBORS KIDS HAVE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO CONTRIBUTE TO FIVE AND A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD MEMBERS OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD ADVOCATING FOR VOUCHERS AND CREDITS I'VE SEEN IT ALL NOW I CAN'T IMAGINE VIRGINIA BEACH DOING THAT BUT VOUCHERS AND CREDITS DIVERT MUCH NEEDED FUNDS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS WE ARE A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD AND THEY EXACERBATE INEQUITIES AND EQUALITIES AND UNDERMINE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS AND I CANNOT SUPPORT AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS AND FACT I SHOULD SUPPORT THIS. I AM WONDERING WHY YET SUPPORTING TO GO AGAINST THE VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS I'M WONDERING WHY YET AGAIN WE'RE HERE AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD MEETING DISCUSSING PROCESS

172OUR PROCESSES OUR PROCESS IS THAT THEY OUGHT TO COVER THE FULL COST OF PRIVATE SCHOOLING, LEAVE OUR MOST VULNERABLE AND LOW INCOME FAMILIES WITH LIMITED OPTIONS. WHY ARE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD NUMBERS ADVOCATING FOR A LACK OF SUFFICIENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT AND WILDLY INCONSISTENT EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS ARE MEMBERS OF HIS SCHOOL A SCHOOL BOARD ADVOCATING FOR THE INEVITABLE SEGREGATION BY SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND RACE INSTEAD OF DOING THE WORK THAT IS SO VITAL TO OUR COMMUNITY WHERE YET AGAIN DISTRACTED BY SOME OF OUR MEMBERS GOALS TO DESTROY AND INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE PUBLIC LEARNING ENVIRONMENT I SAY LET'S GET BACK TO THE BUSINESS MATTERS TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY NOT JUST SOME PEOPLE'S IDEAS THAT THEY WANT TO NOT SUPPORT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT AGREE THAT A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD GO AGAINST I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT

173WE EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS. THANK YOU, MR.. THANK YOU I THINK WE'VE GOT TO BE REALISTIC THERE'S A THERE'S A REASON WHY THE SBA PRINCE OUT RED BOOK WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF POSITIONS IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE POSITIONS THEY WOULD JUST WAIT TILL BILLS CAME OUT. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER CONVERSATION . OK, MISS MONADIC, I'M READING THIS AND I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SO RIGHT NOW DECISIONS REGARDING ACCESS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL BY NON PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, THEY REMAIN THE LOCAL SCHOOL DIVISIONS DECISIONS THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE I MEAN THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE LIKE THE THIBEAULT BILL THAT KEEPS FAILING BUT IT SAYS HERE THAT IT'S UP TO EVERY LOCAL SCHOOL DIVISION I READING THAT CORRECTLY NO >> STATEMENT I'M READING THIS AFTERNOON HERE IT'S LIKE THE FIFTH COLUMN. IT SAYS NO STATE MANDATE IS

174CREATED SO SO THEY DON'T WANT TO VARIOUS POSITIONS THEY DON'T THEY DON'T WANT A STATE MANDATE CREATED AND THAT DECISIONS REGARDING ACCESS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL BY NON PUBLIC SCHOOL DO NOT REMAIN PRIVATE. SO THE LOCAL GOOGLE IS THAT MEANS UP WHAT DO YOU DO THAT I'M GONNA FIND SO SO IF SO IF I IF I IF HOME SCHOOL STUDENT WANTS TO PLAY BASEBALL OR A SCHOOL STUDENT WANTS TO TAKE SPANISH CLASS BECAUSE THEIR HOME SCHOOL TEACHER DOESN'T SPEAK SPANISH SO WE AS A SCHOOL BOARD SAY YAY OR NAY I THOUGHT YOU MAKE THOSE DECISIONS WHEN YOU ALLOW PART TIME STUDENT YOU UNLIKE A LOT OF YOU DON'T ALLOW PART TIME STUDENTS AND DIVISION JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A VERY LARGE SCALE DIVISION SCHOOL DIVISION WITH THE HIGH DEMAND ON THERE ARE SOME SCHOOL DIVISIONS THAT DO

175ALLOW TIME ERRORS THAT SOMETIMES TO DO A LOT OF HOME SCHOOLERS COME INTO PLAY SPORTS. SO THIS IS BASICALLY BUT THEY DON'T WANT IT STATE MANDATED LIKE THE I'M GOING TO CALL IT THE T BILL THIS IS SAYING THAT THEY DON'T WANT THE BILL TO PASS BASICALLY IS AGAIN I DIDN'T DROP THIS WAR BUT I THINK THAT'S THEIR INTENT I JUST WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATIONS I KNOW THAT'S BEEN THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP A LOT EVEN WHEN I WAS A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND AT THE VERY BOTTOM THE VA ALSTRUP THOSE MEASURES REQUIRING THE TRANSFER OF LOCAL TAX PAYER FUNDS TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS PROPER PROVIDERS SHOULD A STUDENT CHOOSE TO ENROLL IN A VIRTUAL PROGRAM OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOME SCHOOL DIVISION. OK, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RECOVERY SCHOOL DR. ROBERTSON I KNOW YOU'RE GOING YOU'RE GOING TO

176HAVE AN UPDATE TWO WEEKS BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE DIFFERENT SCHOOL DIVISIONS THEY SAY THE RECOVERY SCHOOL WAS IN CHESAPEAKE OR WHEREVER IT BEACH AND SOMEONE FROM NORFOLK COMES TO THE SCHOOL DIVISION AND A LOT OF OUR LEARNING IS GOING TO BE VIRTUAL IS THAT SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T TRANSFER BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN NORFOLK I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T GET IN THE WAY I KNOW WHAT KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I KNOW I'VE HOW YOU SET UP IF YOU'RE SETTING IT SETTING IT UP LIKE GOVERNORS SCHOOL OR SEE SEVER THE REGIONAL, THEN YOU'RE ALL YOU'RE MEMBER I JUST YOU SET IT UP. I JUST. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WORDING DIDN'T GET IN THE WAY OF BECAUSE I KNOW WE DO IT AND SEE THAT BUT THAT'S NOT VIRTUAL LEARNING A VIRTUAL

177PROGRAM. YEAH AND THE GOVERNOR SCHOOL SO IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS THAT THIS WOULD NOT GET IN THE WAY OF THAT I THINK THE VIRTUAL BUILDINGS, THE PRIVATE PROVIDERS WELL JUST IT DOESN'T SAY THAT WAS MY THAT'S WHAT CAUGHT ME IS BEING KIND OF ODD THAT IT DOESN'T SAY I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE DID SEE UP AND HOW WE DO GOVERNOR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS VIRTUAL PROGRAM IN THERE WERE YOU HAVEN'T SET IT UP YET IT UP YET SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOUR COMPANY I'M ASSUMING YOU WOULD BE A REGIONAL PROGRAM WHICH BECOMES YOUR IT'S NOT REALLY OUTSIDE YOUR MEMBER ORGANIZATION SO I DON'T THAT GOES OUTSIDE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR REGIONAL. IT WOULD BE OK FOR ANYBODY IN THAT REGION. I'M NOT SURE THAT

178THIS IS ADDRESSING REGIONAL BUT I WOULD SAY THERE'S A STRONGER ARGUING FOR MADE A REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT OUTSIDE OF YOUR JURISDICTION YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THAT ORGANIZATION SO I THINK I THINK THAT'S A STRONG ARGUMENT. I DON'T THIS ADDRESSES THAT. OK, MISS BROWN. SO I HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE LINE YOU JUST POINTED OUT AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH VIRTUAL VIRGINIA AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A PRIVATE PROVIDER OR IF THAT IS A JUST A LITTLE I'M NOT SURE WHAT VIRTUAL VIRGINIA IS CONSIDERED IS THAT A PUBLIC ENTITY OR IS THAT PRIVATE ENTITY THAT WE'RE TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO HAVE NO IDEA. THIS. THIS IS NOT A LONG SO NOT LIKE SO I MEAN I THINK THIS THIS THERE'S A LOT IN THIS PARTICULAR

179ONE BUT I ALSO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION BECAUSE I WENT TO GRAB A QUICK SNACK AND I WAS WATCHING SOME OF THE MEETING AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING COLLEAGUES ARE CONCERNED THAT THERE'S ADVOCATING FOR SCHOOL CHOICE VOUCHERS WITH BRINGING THIS UP. BUT MR. PEPPER IS THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDING SUBMITTING CHANGES TO THIS PARTICULAR POSITION OR IS THE NOW IS THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDING CHANGES TO THIS POSITION OR YOU SIMPLY SAYING THAT WE SHOULD BRING IT UP AFTER THEIR VOTE BECAUSE THE OPINION OF THE BOARD MAY DIFFER BRING IT UP AFTER THEIR MEETING THIS BOARD SO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY CHANGES CORRECT. I'M NOT ASKING FOR THEM TO ADVOCATE FOR ANY OF THESE THINGS. ARE THERE OK, THANK YOU. WAIT SO YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT ADVOCATING FOR ANY CHANGES THE SBA AS OPPOSED TO VOUCHERS

180AND TAX CREDITS RIGHT I AM SAYING THAT THE BOARD YOU I WILL I RECOMMEND THIS BOARD TAKE A POSITION AGAINST TARGETS THAT CORRECT. RIGHT. HE'S HE'S HE'S ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE I'M NOT ASKING THAT I'M NOT THE VA TO CHANGE THEIR POSITION THAT GET FOUR BEDROOMS. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. RIGHT. BUT THAT THAT IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. THAT'S THE LARGER PICTURE RIGHT NOW IS THAT WHEN I LEFT THAT COMMITTEE MEETING THE COMMITTEE WAS VOTING TO TO BE IN FAVOR OF VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS NO I SEE OUR ATTORNEY SHAKING HER HEAD NO AS WELL. SO ALL I REMEMBER FROM THAT IS THAT YOU BROUGHT IT FORWARD TO THE SCHOOL BOARD HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THAT DIDN'T ACTUALLY TAKEN TAKE ANY POSITIONS ON THAT. IT WAS TO BRING DISCUSSION

181BUT HE JUST HE JUST HE JUST ANNOUNCED THAT WE ARE NOT TAKING A POSITION IN FAVOR OF OF VOUCHERS TAX CREDITS IF WE WEREN'T THEN WHAT, THEN WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT WHAT'S GOING ON WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER WITH VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS SO WHAT THIS SAYS RIGHT HERE THAT THE SBA TAKES A POSITION OPPOSING RIGHT. ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH TAXPAYER MONEY AND PRIVATE EDUCATION VOUCHERS OR TAX CREDITS. RIGHT. I I AM THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE DISAGREE WITH THAT POSITION RIGHT I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. I OK, YOU'RE YOU'RE FAVOR I KNOW I WAS NEXT TO YOU IN THE QUEUE. YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF VOUCHERS TAX CREDITS NO THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT SAYING NOT SAYING WHAT'S IN IT I'M I'M BASICALLY SAYING I WANT THE VA TO TAKE NO

182POSITION AT ALL IN THOSE I WANT THEM TO BE MUTE ON THE SUBJECT. OK, SO NOW I WILL SPEAK ABOUT WHY YOU'RE NOT MUTE ON THIS TOPIC AND TONIGHT WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. THE SEVEN VANOVER SYRIA BROWN VERSUS BOARD THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE OTHER NUMBER OF OF CASES THAT WERE HEARD THAT WE'RE UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE FACT THAT VOUCHERS WERE CREATED SPECIFICALLY WHEN THEY CLOSED SCHOOLS NAMELY PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY I CAN GO THROUGH THE WHOLE HISTORY LESSON BARBARA JOHN'S WHAT SHE DID IN NINETEEN FIFTY ONE AND WALKING OUT OF A CLASSROOM WHAT LED TO BROWN VERSUS BOARD OF EDUCATION AND HOW TAX CREDITS AND VOUCHERS ARE CREATED TO PAY FOR WHITE CHILDREN WHO COULD NOT AFFORD SCHOOL TO GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOL WHEN THEY CLOSED THE

183SCHOOLS? THAT'S EXACTLY WOULD HAPPEN AND TO MISS RIGS POINT WHY WOULD A PUBLIC SCHOOL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT? I MEAN I WAS I'M NOT GOING TO LIE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN IN LEGISLATIVE MEETING THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY TEN AIRS ON THIS BOARD THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY LIKE WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT AND WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM SOMETHING AND SAY I'M I I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A POSITION ON FIRST OF ALL AGAIN I'M GOING TO REPEAT MYSELF THERE HAS TO BE MATCHING LEGISLATION AND THERE ISN'T SO NOBODY'S TAKING POSITION BUT EVERY SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD BE FIGHTING AGAINST VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AS IT DEPLETES FUNDING FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MR. OWENS THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION ON THE POINTS THAT ARE ON HERE. IF SBA IS ASKING FOR INPUT

184PRIOR TO MOVING FORWARD AND THE POINT OUR DISCUSSION IS JUST TO SAY WE DISAGREE THAT WE DON'T WANT THEM TO TAKE THIS POSITION BUT THEN NOT TELL THEM WE DON'T WANT THEM TO TAKE THAT YOU HAVE TO TELL AND THEN WAIT TILL AFTER NOVEMBER WHEN NOVEMBER WHEN THEY TOOK THE POSITION TO VOTE AND SAY WE DIDN'T WANT THAT WANT THAT. I I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WHY WE ARE DOING THAT PROCESS IF WE IF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE DOESN'T WANT THEM TO TAKE THE POSITION WHY ARE WE NOT DOING A VOTE TO SAY WE EITHER DO OR DON'T WANT AS THE SCHOOL BOARD OF THE CITY OF BEACH WE THEN DO OR DON'T I MEAN WE'RE BRINGING IT UP AND WE'RE SAYING LEGISLATIVE IS SAYING DON'T WANT THEM TO TO WRITE THIS WHY IS IT IS

185IT THAT WE'RE NOT TELLING THIS MAN OK SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MR. COLPEPER BUT YOU PUT OUT A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD AT ASKING IF ANY BOARD MEMBER HAD ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS TO MAKE TO THE VA LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. DID YOU RECEIVE ANY FROM ANY BOARD? I DID NOT. OK, SO OUR COMMITTEE MET DAVID SAID THERE ARE NO CHANGES BEING RECOMMENDED AND THAT'S WHAT'S DUE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT WE DID DISCUSS BRINGING THESE FORWARD TO THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION WE MET WE TALKED ABOUT THESE MANY OF THESE BECAUSE WE HAVE LOOKED AT THEM LAST YEAR AS WELL MANY OF THEM WE DISAGREED WITH AND VOTED AS SUCH SO THIS IS JUST FOR DISCUSSION AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS FULLY UNDERSTAND IT. I'VE READ IT MANY

186MANY TIMES AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE VA DOESN'T RIGHT LEGISLATION AND TAKE IT TO LEGISLATORS BUT IF ONE OF THESE FOR EXAMPLE, THE BACKGROUND CHECKS THAT COMES UP AND LEGISLATION NEXT YEAR WHICH I ANTICIPATE IT WILL, THEN THE VA CAN LOOK AT THEIR POCKET AND SAY OH WE HAVE THIS ONE IN HERE WE'RE GOING TO GO ADVOCATE FOR IT BUT IF WE CHOOSE ONE OF THESE IN WERE LIKE OH THE SBA, THE SBA ADVOCATES FOR ONE OF THESE WE DISAGREE AND WE WANT TO GO ON RECORD STATING THAT WE DISAGREE THAT'S WHAT WE DO AFTER NOVEMBER AND THAT IS THE PROCESS THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN RIGHT IN HERE AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE DID AND THANK YOU, MR. COLPEPER, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS MATTER. SO MR. COLPEPER SENT OUT AN EMAIL AND ASKED

187IF THERE WERE ANY ADDITIONS OR OR CHANGES AND YOU ARE RIGHT MRS. MRS MANNING. NOBODY RESPONDED. NOBODY AND THEN MAGICALLY AT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING THERE WERE ALL OF THESE POSITIONS THAT THE LEGISLATOR COMMITTEE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND AND THAT WAS THAT WAS MY QUESTION LIKE NOBODY ON THIS BOARD HAD ONE YET THERE WERE PAGES OF THEM THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THESE LAST EAR. AND SO THAT'S MY POINT I DON'T KNOW HOW THESE CAME TO BE WHEN THE BOARD SAID TO THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FORTH WITH THE COMMITTEES, MISS BROWN. OK, SO I THINK IT'S BECOMING REALLY OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT'S ELECTION SEASON UP HERE ON THIS GUY IS THERE IS SO MUCH

188BACK AND FORTH GOING ON ABOUT A VOTE WE VOTED ON THIS ON JANUARY 20 THIRD THE BOOK SAYS WE VOTE AFTER MEETING SO WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN OUR POSITION FOR THIS YEAR ON THIS UNLESS WE'RE CHANGING ANYTHING WE DO NOT NEEDS TO VOTE ON THIS AGAIN UNLESS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED AGAINST SENDING CHANGING THE POSITION ON SEVEN POINT ONE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AND ARGUMENT ABOUT I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON MOVE ON PLEASE. THANK YOU. I KNOW IT IS. PLEASE READ THAT YOUR COMMENTS ON TEN POINT ONE, MISS RIGGS, I >> WAS ON THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND I RESPECTFULLY ASKED TO GET OFF OF IT BECAUSE OF THIS BECAUSE AT THAT LAST THAT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT

189WE WERE GOING TO BRING THE PROPOSALS FROM THE SBA AND YOU CAN ALL YOU WANT AS YOU WEREN'T THERE THEY WERE GOING TO BRING THE BOOK THAT MRS MANNING HAD ASKED OUR CLERK TO PRINT OFF SO WE COULD GO THROUGH IT AT THE NEXT MEETING WHICH WAS ONE I JUST MISS MISSED BECAUSE I RESIGNED FROM BECAUSE I WASN'T GOING TO HAVE A PART OF IT TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN AND LOOK AT THE ONES THAT PEOPLE DISAGREED ON SO IF WE VOTED ON IT ALREADY, WHY BRINGING UP AGAIN AS IT BECAUSE THERE'S A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PEOPLE UP HERE TO VOTE TO GO AGAINST IT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PART IN THIS. THIS IS WRONG WE ARE A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD ET TO DISCUSS THAT IS WRONG AND WE ALL

190KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO ELECTIONS BECAUSE I'M NOT EVEN RUNNING AGAIN BUT IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME SUPPORTING A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THE STUDENTS ATTEND HERE. I'M NOT SUPPORTING PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO THAT'S FINE. THAT'S OK BUT THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD AND I SAID WHY ARE WE GOING OVER THAT? WE WENT OVER IT AGAIN ARE THERE EVEN GOING TO BE ANY AND I REMEMBER MR. CULPEPPER SAID OH THERE'LL BE SOME HE DID LIKE THAT SO THERE WAS A PLAN TO DO THIS AND I TOTALLY DISAGREE THIS IS WHAT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE IS BRINGING FORTH TO DISCUSS IT AGAIN WHY WE DIDN'T VOTE ON IT. YOU'RE RIGHT WHERE ARE WE GOING ON AND AGAIN WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT THERE'S NO NO WE'RE VOTE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE

191A DECISION AT THE NEXT MEETING IN JUNE BECAUSE THAT WAS SAID IN THAT LEGISLATIVE MEETINGS YOU. YOU WEREN'T THERE. I WAS I'M JUST AND WHAT I'M SAYING WHAT THEY SAID WHAT THEY SAID. OK, SO IN FAIRNESS ON THE PAPER IT SAYS THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE SCHOOL OR DISCUSS CERTAIN BSB LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS AND DETERMINE WHETHER AMENDMENTS OR OTHER ACTIONS REGARDING THE POSITIONS ARE NEEDED THE SCHOOL BOARD LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MET ON MAY SIX TWENTY TWENTY FOUR AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD DISCUSS THE SBA LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS AND IT LISTS ALL THE ONES THAT YOU WERE GIVEN THIS EVENING AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE CONFUSION IS COMING AND FOR MANY BOARD MEMBERS IS THAT IT CAME UP AND IT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND AND THIS PAPER IS ASKING US TO DISCUSSED IT AND IT'S UP FOR INFORMATION

192AND FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS A VOTE AND SO THAT THERE'S CLEARLY A DISCONNECT AND IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHO'S SPEAKING AS TO WHAT HEADS OR NODDING BECAUSE BUT THIS ISN'T RIGHT. IT'S ASKING US TO DISCUSS IT'S ON FOR INFORMATION AND THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING THERE'S A VOTE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON BUT I DO ASK THAT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REACH OUT TO KESSLER AND GET A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE PROCESS AND NOT AN INTERPRETED PICTURE AND NOT AN INTERPRETED UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE WHEN I TALK KESSLER HIS EXACT WORDS TO ME WORDS TO ME WERE IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PAPERWORK FILLED OUT AND DELIVERED VBA BY JUNE IS IT'S THE BEGINNING OF JUNE, THEN IT'S MOOT AND YES, SO MR. COLPEPER AS CHAIR THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE JUST FOR CLARITY OK, YOU

193ARE NOT IT IS ON INFORMATION TONIGHT AS CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE. ARE YOU ASKING FOR THIS MOVE TO ACTION FOR A VOTE OR IN THE NEXT COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT DOES SOUND LIKE THAT YOU'RE JUST BRINGING THIS TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THAT YOU DID NOT REQUEST ANY CHANGES. NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING FROM FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TONIGHT YOU'RE BRINGING US TO THE BOARD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE DECISION THAT IS NEEDED IN TWO WEEKS YOU'RE NOT REQUESTING ANY CHANGES THAT VESP MAKE ANY CHANGES >> BUT YOU'RE NOT, ARE YOU OR ARE NOT ASKING FOR US TO MOVE THIS TO CONSENT OR ACTION AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR A VOTE BECAUSE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND WE WOULD THEN NOT VOTE UNTIL NOVEMBER YEAH THAT THE CONFUSION THINK THAT THE CONFUSION IS COMING IN

194WITH THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THOSE TWO THINGS. RIGHT. SO TO BE CLEAR TWEETS WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED OUR TIMELINE TO MEET IN EARLY MAY TO BRING THIS REFORMATION TODAY AND IT WAS DISCUSSED TO HAVE A VOTE IN TWO WEEKS BECAUSE THAT ASSUME THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE EXPLAINING CONFUSION HERE BECAUSE THE ASSUMPTION WAS ASSUMPTION WAS WE WOULD HAVE A AT THE TIME WAS BUILT ASSUMING WE WOULD HAVE A A OR A NEW POSITION RIGHT BUT. BUT YOU DON'T YOU KNOW, SO NOW THE TWO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING NEXT ARE IN AUGUST ANY CHANGES OR NEW POSITIONS COME FROM OTHER BOARDS WILL BE VETTED AND WE WILL RECEIVE THOSE AND EVERYBODY WE DISCUSS THOSE AND THEN AFTER AND THEN AFTER THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER IF WE DISAGREE WITH IN POSITIONS OF SBA, WE WOULD SUBMIT

195OK SO JUST DOING ALL THAT DOES IS A FORMER NBA THAT INFORMED BY SBA THAT VIRGINIA BEACH DOES NOT DON'T NOTICE SAY BRIDGEVIEW DEGREES IN THIS POSITION BECAUSE WE DON'T LET'S NOT SET SO ALL THESE ARE FOR TONIGHT JUST TO BE CLEAR WE ARE NOT MOVING THIS FOR A VOTE IN TWO WEEKS WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE NOT ARE NOT WE ARE NOT MOVING THIS WILL VOTE IN TWO WEEKS YOU'RE JUST YOU'RE JUST LETTING THE BOARD KNOW THAT THE COMMITTEE IS NOT RECOMMENDING ANY CHANGES FOR BOUSBIA THAT WOULD BE DOING TWO WEEKS. THAT'S CORRECT. OK, SO JUST FOR CLARITY THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HEAR BACK IN AUGUST ABOUT THE I GUESS WHAT VEBA DECIDES AT THAT POINT AND THEN NOVEMBER SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THE TIMELINE HERE. SO YES

196NO DECEMBER WE DID IN JANUARY. SURE. OK, OK. SO SO SO NOW I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING . THANK YOU. THAT'S CORRECT. I KNOW YOU JUST SAID THAT BUT ITS SIGHTS RIGHT HERE ON THE FRONT OF THIS LOCAL SCHOOL DIVISIONS PROPOSING POSITIONS OR CHANGES TO EXISTING POSITIONS MUST SUBMIT SUCH PROPOSALS IN JUNE. SO IF WE DON'T VOTE TO MAKE ANY CHANGES AT OUR NEXT MEETING THEN THERE WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ASKING VSP TO MAKE CHANGES AND THEN HOW CAN WE TURN AROUND AND DISAGREE WITH THEIR POSITIONS IN NOVEMBER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. MAYBE I'M NOT FOLLOWING THEM MAYBE THAT'S THE LANGUAGE THIS CONFUSION HERE WE'RE NOT I THINK IN NOVEMBER WE'RE OUT SAYING WE DISAGREE WITH YOUR POSITION WE'RE SAYING WE DON'T DON'T DON'T SAY WE TAKE YOUR POSITION. THAT'S WHAT

197WE'RE SAYING THE IT'S THE SAME THE SAME THING DIFFERENTLY. BUT SAYING THAT VIRGINIA BEACH DOESN'T AGREE WITH THE WE REMEMBER IF WE LOOK THAT'S WHAT WE VOTE. THAT'S RIGHT. THESE POSITIONS WE BROUGHT UP OR ANY OTHERS HAVE COME UP THAT CAME UP LATER. IF WE SAY WE DON'T AGREE WITH US POSITIONS THERE WAS SIMPLY AN INFORMED THE SBA THAT WE ALL THOSE POSITIONS NOW WITH THE SBA GOES FORWARD. THE LEGISLATURE ADVOCATE THEY CAN'T SAY THAT WE SUPPORT IT BECAUSE WE TOLD THEM THAT WE DO NOT THEY WON'T DO THAT. SO WHEN THEY GO TO DELEGATE WHEN THEY WHEN THEY GO TO DELEGATE ASSEMBLY IT'S MAJORITY RULES AND IF YOU ARE THE ONLY THE ONLY SCHOOL SYSTEM IN STATE OF VIRGINIA THAT ONCE VOUCHERS AND TAX CREDITS THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME FORWARD AND

198SAY HEY, THEY WON'T AND I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT THAT MAY WELL BE WELL BE THE CASE BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT I THINK THE EXCUSE ME WAIT I THINK THE DISCONNECT IS THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERPRETING VECEPIA AND NOBODY HAS TALKED TO VESTBERG AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING HAPPENED. WHOEVER IS ON WHOEVER IS ON THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE THAT THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MEMBERS OF THE SBA GET A CLEAR HANDLE SO THEY CAN DIRECT THE BOARD PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF INTERPRETING GOING ON AND AS CHAIR OF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE IF THAT'S THE POSITION THAT YOU'LL HAVE IN JULY I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU MEET WITH THE SBA SO THAT YOU CAN INFORM THE BOARD PROPERLY SO MAY I FINISH? I'M SORRY MRS. ANDERSON SO IF WE TURN AROUND. IF YOU KNOW

199THAT WE DISAGREE WITH IF YOU DISAGREE WITH CERTAIN POSITIONS NOW YOU PUT THAT FORWARD YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT ANYTHING FORWARD FOR CHANGES BUT THEN YOU COME UP IN NOVEMBER AND ASK FOR CHANGES. THAT'S BACK DURING WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED I DON'T KNOW HOW I THAT'S MY PROCESSES THERE >> GET MY PROCESSES THERE PROCESS >> NO NO THERE PROCESSES IF YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES YOU NEED YOU NEED TO SUBMIT IT TO THEM SO THEY CAN CONSIDER THAT THEY DID AN THAT MAY OR MAY BE CONSIDERED. SO THEN ARE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND VOTE IN THE NOVEMBER ANNUAL CONVENTION AND THEN IT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO US AND WE'RE GOING TO SAY WELL WE TRIED TELL YOU WE SHOULD SAY WE TRIED TO TELL YOU IMAGINE THAT JUNE THAT WE DIFFERED WITH THAT

200BUT NOW WE'RE GOING TO DEFINITELY DIFFER FROM YOUR POSITION BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON IT IN NOVEMBER IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS ON THIS BOARD WHO WILL SUPPORT YOUR VIEW ON IT THERE MAY BE SOME PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOBBY HARD TO GET THEM TO CONSIDER YOUR POSITION JUST LIKE I WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER LOBBYING HARD FOR MY POSITION BUT BEING THAT I'M IN FAVOR OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS I DON'T THINK I'LL CHANGE MY MIND MISS ME CAN I SUGGEST THAT MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC SINCE WE HAVE STAFF HERE WAITING TO BRIEF US IMPORTANT ITEMS THAT AREN'T POLITICAL IN NATURE WELL THIS WAS THIS WAS AN AGENDA ITEM BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE THAT ASKED FOR DISCUSSION AND IN FAIRNESS WITH THE BOARD DID AND SO SEEING NO OTHER

201HANDS RAISED WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING THE JUNE 18TH RESOLUTION THE DIVISION WIDE LITERACY PLAN, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT UPGRADE AND THE BAYSIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOUNDATION REPAIR PHASE ONE ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTING ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ALL RIGHT ZAIN NONE I CALL.
