Motion carries. Now I'd like to go on to uh the SEMA. I'd like to welcome Dolores Gonzalez and the migrant student leadership students. and I'm getting over laryngitis. Um, thank you for having us. Before I introduce um the students, I want to tell you a little bit what the title one part C is. Migrant education program is a special program paid for by the federal government to help students who work or have family members who work in
007agriculture and and move due due to that work. Therefore, they are called migrator migratory move. It gives them extra help with school assignments and provides other support they might need. The idea is to make sure students can do well in school as they experience more barriers due to frequent moves between school uh districts. With that being said, the migrants voice society club that um we do uh I've been part of it for five or six years. And what it is, it's 11 school districts coming together once a month for the full year. Every year I choose six students or they come to me and say I want to be part of it. And this year we also have the middle school. The middle school also run by Enella Contas. She also has six students that
008meet once a month and we go to ESD 105. They treat us really well. They feed us. And every year these six students have a say on what the conference will be like for next year which is the annual rising to the top conference. They make all the decisions on venue on food on sessions on t-shirt logo and everything. So before I introduce them I just want to tell them that I they've really grown so much. Some of them have been part of this program for three four years. Some are are brand new, but just seeing how much they've grown in their leadership and their communication skills is amazing. I am humbled to introduce them. The first one that I would like to introduce will be um Jessica Jessica Cases. Well, hello. My name is
009Jessica Casares Via and I am part of the migrant voice society and the planning committee for this year's uh migrant student leadership conference. First off, I just want to say thank you for giving me the chance to speak here today. And it's it means a lot to me and not just me but all the migrant students who were part of this experience, the ones that you see here and others from other districts. Helping plan this conference was honestly one of the most meaningful things I've ever been part of. As a migrant student myself, I know in firsthand how hard it can be to find your voice in a system that doesn't see everything that you're carrying like language barriers, family responsibilities, or just even feeling or just feeling out of place while adapting to a
010new reality. This that's why this conference matters so much. It wasn't just about leadership. It was about connection. It gave students like me the chance to be seen, to share our stories, and to realize that we are not alone. The workshops, speakers, and activities gave us valuable knowledge and confidence. Being part of this program taught me a lot. I learned how to collaborate with others, how to speak up with confidence, and how to take initiative. This exper experience showed me that my background, my story, it all brings value, and that's something I'll carry with me forever. It also helped me realize that leadership isn't always about standing at the front of a room. Sometimes it's about listening, supporting others, and creating a space for people to shine. So again, thank you for supporting programs like
011this. They make a real difference for students who are striving for more. And I hope that we can keep building spaces where every student, no matter where they come from, get the chance to feel empowered and heard. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I think our next speaker is um So hello, my name is Conas and I had the honor to introduce the keynote speaker for this conference. Um this person is from the Grammy School District and his name is um Dr. Jose Mer. Um I was impressed with Dr. Jose Rivera um journey. Um he worked in the fields. He was a par professional then became a teacher then became um a principal. Um and now he's not only our role model but he's also the assistant superintendent of the Grand School District. Hearing
012his story his story motivated many of us including myself. history touch multiple hearts and inspire us to reach for our dreams. It may take a lot of time to work. It may take a lot of time and hard work, but you can do it. I want to thank Grand View High School for allowing Miss Gonzalez to introduce to introduce us to clubs and conference like the Rising Together Conference. We were able to learn from other students with different backgrounds and cultures, which we truly appreciate. And I was going to say like I thought it was a different um like setting and I was like going to say please give a welcoming applause for Dr. Thank you for inviting us. Yeah. and second. Hello, my name is Kru. I have been part of the migrant leadership
013club for one year. Every year the students design the student designed the t-shirt logo. Then we vote on the best logo for the conference and I am proud to say my design won and it was painted on the t-shirt. I want to I want to say thank you to Granville for giving me this opportunity to be part of this club and it was an honor to me to be in this pro program and design the t-shirt logo. [Music] Is that the t-shirt that you have on now? Thank you. For one year and I would like to introduce to Hello, my name is Luca Solis. I've been in this school for three years and it's really really grateful to be here with you guys to talk about my experience and the difference between all the conferences
014since I'm being three years in this conferences. It's really really exciting to see all the difference between the this the conference this year and last year. Uh not just the food, the activities, it the people that now it's cuz this year was more people invol involved than the last year and it was more sessions in the conferences. This helped a lot. In my experience, I've been learning a lot in this conferences. You know, each year you have to see something new. you go to learn new we go to meet new people and also learn new things uh for example one of the sessions where was about medical field that I'm interesting in and there's a lot of things that you can learn about careers about college about other people experiences and also something that I
015a lot too is the diversity of people it's not just Hispanic people. There's a bunch of different cultures and learn about those cultures in one meeting each year. It's something amazing. And also the food was delicious. speaking of um I know some of you some of you may know me some of you may have heard of me but my name is Omar Jason Rios Mendoza I'm part of the migrant student program and this is my third year being within the program in the second year of going to the conferences uh at every meeting we always like to honor the original indigenous inhabitants of the land and I will read that statement to you We are on Yakama land. This is the home of the 14 Confederated tribes and bands of the Yakama nation. The first
016people. Being in this club for me personally has taught me a lot of diversity, culture and equity. I have been able to work, learn from, and collaborate with many amazing people from all different kinds of backgrounds and all different kinds of cultures. And I've been able to learn so much about each individual person. I myself has also have also learned about the community that is within the migrant program. Being in the program for three years of course has given the opportunity to really grow and learn and sort of live my high school career with these people. And with that comes a sense of community. So much so that about three months ago when David host David Davis's high school hosted I felt comfortable enough to come out as gay to them. And that was especially
017tough since we were discussing how in our families it's very common to have macho men and to have all these I guess things that were supposed to be. and I discussed how I didn't match those but I felt safe enough to come out to them and I really felt comfortable and welcomed by all the people there as they didn't immediately hate me or anything. They welcomed me with open arms and I just felt very grateful for that. This club has empowered me to be myself and I thank you and I thank the board. Well, you are the board. But I thank everyone and I thank the district for allowing this amazing program to flourish as it has not only helped me personally but has also helped tons of students find themselves and feel empowered. Thank
018you. Good evening everyone. My name is Jasmine Corona and my role as a TVIP pair, I have seen this kids grow tremendously. From being student leaders, student speakers to the ones designing this year shirt, I am beyond proud of their accomplishments and I thank them for allowing me to be part of their journey as young leaders. If you guys have no plans for the weekend, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, Omar Rios is directing Shrek at the high school. And this is the second play that he's directed. So, um, you're welcome to stop by the high school and support. Thank you so much. Thank you. Well, couple questions. How many students are totally involved uh between all the 11 school districts? No, just ours. Just Scram View Grand 12. There's six at the high school and Oh,
019see. So, it is only the 6th and the 6th. When is your conference and where is it? The the conference was in April, April 19th. I mean March 19th and it was at Pacific Northwest University. Okay. One year, a couple years I think it was at Heritage. Then we had it at the convention center and the past two years it's been at the university. And the kids were also allowed to tour the facility and see what kind of uh medical and health programs kind of already start getting the the seed planted uh maybe going into that school. And then there's also a re resource fair going on where there's different colleges that are there talking giving information. Very nice. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Did Heather see that she was doing our
020evaluation? Right. I do see that. Okay. Good. All kinds of fun stuff today, aren't you? Do you have anything else you need to do? Okay. So, we're going to move on to uh [Music] um members of the board, uh updates. So, from the board, anybody got anything from the board? It's my last meeting. It's your last meeting. Yeah. And I've enjoyed being on the board. Um I've enjoyed working with all of you and I've enjoyed working with past people members. It's been good. I It's It's just time to focus on other things now. So everything ends. Yeah, it does. we've got um some great people that are stepping up and we appreciate you. So anyway, thank you very very much. Been great. Awesome. Um one of the I don't know if it's from the I
021guess I'll call it from the board. You might as well. Anyway, I went to uh and I know Chuck went yesterday. if you have anything from the um coffee with the soup. I went today for a little bit. Um it it always interests me the wide range of topics that come up. Uh the one that I don't think I shouldn't say caught me by surprise, but surprised me was the one mom wanted to know how we choose the uh spring break week and thought it might be nice if it was always the week before Easter. So, just something I had never considered. And you know, every time I go there, there's something different. So, well, I went today and Barbara Ste was the only one that was there. Okay. And uh she knew uh uh
022she goes, "Oh, here comes Danny Hall." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She goes, "I had to meet your superintendent." Okay, great. So, she knows everything. She's uh um she's great to talk to. So it was um I want to thank everybody for um you know last night and and you guys coming in and um it was nice to have uh people uh apply for that position. Um there is some things you will have to do coming up for the um because you still have to run but uh anyway and and Jean walk through all that. Do they know that next Tuesday at orientation? Yes, I did explain. Next Tuesday at 5:30 down at the learning center, we'll have dinner and then we're going to have our uh onboarding and uh I think it's going to go great.
023We'll have it on the screen. Plus, we'll have Are we gonna have Did you want me to print out some things? I can print. Okay. Anyway, if you do, I have no issue with it. But anyway, we'll have the onboarding and uh get you ready and then the next meeting you'll do your stuff and then you'll be up here. So, um, are you going to have, uh, somebody to do the laptops and everything that night or Yes. Um, they would like to meet with them before next Tuesday. Um, to Could we actually could we possibly do it at next Tuesday at the onboarding? Let me ask. Yeah, maybe they can do it then. Jesse says it takes about 30 to 45 minutes with each one of them. Oh, yeah. Maybe you don't want to do
024that then. Sorry. Let me rethink that theory. Well, could they do it while we're doing the onboarding because they won't necessarily need it if we're showing it on the screen. I don't know. They said they need a 45 minutes with each one with each one of them. So, so not just the computer running the system to upgrade. So, you probably have to schedule that on your time. It's convenient for you guys. I'll call you and arrange all of that. Um, so anyway, we're gonna Anything else? We have another from the board assessment. I don't have two on here for some reason. But anyway, um we have the board assessments. Heather gave us some name. No, I'm just kidding. X one thing you'll learn in this I don't Is this part of the um onboarding? Probably
025not this specifically specific. Yeah, we actually do a board assessment and what I do is I hand it to one of the board members and one of these days I'm going to hand it to somebody in the in the um audience that will sit here. But uh you assess how the meeting goes and then we have it a little open topic on how it went and if we got offkilter or we you know it's things we could talk about. very open, very um so general meeting we had the the agenda was well planned. Uh the board followed its agenda, board members prepared. Uh the meeting proceeded without interruption. The the board uh deliberated and discussed which we didn't much of that but uh um members listened attentively. I think we did that pretty well. Work
026was conducted in an atmosphere of trust and openness. meaning participants treated each other with respect. Uh governance principle reviews. Um some of those we had, some of those we didn't. Um so yeah, we got all all all good marks. So that was very nice. So we're going to move on to the um from the board again announcement part and uh Mr. McKenna, we have a couple things for you for uh serving as long as you did. You probably deserve a lot more than this because you made it through COVID and you made it through everything else. So, uh there's a plaque that uh uh that they had made and we have a card for you. Oh, nice. Uh and uh when I go to your house, I expect to see this on the wall. Thank
027you very much. So anyway, thanks for everything you did and thank you for uh gonna do the onboarding with us. I know you're done after tonight, but I appreciate you gonna stick around for that. Happy to happy to do that. Thank you. You'll call on Monday. I already told him I was going to call him actually I'm gonna call him Monday and text him Tuesday. You might have to and and again twice Tuesday. So um thanks Paul. I will be sending each of you the next board packet when I send it out to uh the rest of the board, but I will be sending it to your um personal emails because we won't have your GSC. Well, we might um by then if we don't, but expected I send it out the Friday before the
028board meeting um and it will come from Sabrina. Um so but just be looking for that and then you can look at it all weekend and get prepared for the meeting on Tuesday. So governance policy do we have any what are we monitoring this time? Four of them. Yeah. One GP and two EL. So you will they get the survey to their personal emails? Um I can well no I cannot send them it can only send it to the school email and we won't have that set up by tomorrow. Um, and do do I submit? Do you No. Well, tonight after tonight, that's it'll just be Heather check me. So, what I' I'd like to see if you guys could uh call in and get a hold of Gan and see if you can pick
029a time up in the next few maybe this week sometime if possible. Uh, set up a time that you can come in and possibly get it done. And then by the time Jean sends it out on Thursday, maybe you'll be set up by then. And then what we can actually do on next Tuesday is we can actually look at that and kind of go through how that works. Um because that's that was quite a challenge at one time for all of us to try to get on the survey monkey and uh make all that work. But we can walk through that process. It actually works out good for us. So hopefully you can come get your l get a laptop and you'll set up your stuff and uh I'll get a hold of the tech
030department tomorrow and figure out when it would be best for everybody. Okay. We talk about the next Tuesday at the learning center. Do you guys both know what the learning center is? The old library. Yeah. Okay. 313 division. And if you forget, you can call Sabrina or I. We'll do. You have any food allergies or anything? Okay. new whatever you eat anything. So anyway, we are going to eat down there and it's the school district is uh uh preparing it. So um we're going to do that at 5:30 and the meeting starts at 6. Anything else? This is unique. I just want you to know this is unique to only be 30 minutes. So, especially next the next meeting when we have to do the um evaluations, it'll go a little bit long. So, I'm
031going to send you each a uh resolution. It has all of our board meeting dates on it for the rest of the year. Um well, till August and um so I'll send that out to each of you tomorrow. I think it's on the links too for that welcome packet. Okay. You might want to check the link, make sure it works because I can tell you on my computer everything works. So, of course, any questions?

We can get it down right now. We should have made him zoom in. It's what we should have made him do. Of course, he had had a palm
