003students of the number of 0e971142-2e3b-4c9e-9b5f-29875a31a344-2 students and the number of tests taken as well as their performance on the. 488e381d-a97a-460b-aea0-d5b64b360ceb-0 So that, you know, that's just a really nice indicator that 488e381d-a97a-460b-aea0-d5b64b360ceb-1 we're moving in the right direction and that more students are also having its 488e381d-a97a-460b-aea0-d5b64b360ceb-2 own potential to do well. 3aaa0465-30a6-4cb3-8bb4-1a7d693fd7f6-0 We had a staff member received some recent recognition very soft a member of 3aaa0465-30a6-4cb3-8bb4-1a7d693fd7f6-1 our social studies department won the social justice award from the Middle 3aaa0465-30a6-4cb3-8bb4-1a7d693fd7f6-2 State Council for Social Studies. 026d372f-c452-4df3-8e36-9843f18b4be5-0 She this I can share a little bit more about this award, 026d372f-c452-4df3-8e36-9843f18b4be5-1 but she is a true champion of this that is such a well deserved award for her 026d372f-c452-4df3-8e36-9843f18b4be5-2 notes written by our supervisor. 1e69104f-eeb9-41d1-b446-ffee7ed828ea-0 Her class incorporate these themes as she continuously promotes and accuses ideas 1e69104f-eeb9-41d1-b446-ffee7ed828ea-1 of social

004justice, helping students to appreciate other 1e69104f-eeb9-41d1-b446-ffee7ed828ea-2 cultures as well as their peers and people they encounter in their own lives. 47e95a7b-4fe4-4437-aac6-fdac84dd450e-0 In addition, she's been such a huge influence and 47e95a7b-4fe4-4437-aac6-fdac84dd450e-1 leader in helping all of us with ideas and she terribly works to make this world 47e95a7b-4fe4-4437-aac6-fdac84dd450e-2 a more accepting place and truly the power of 1. 6c6cbeac-23d1-4d9d-a8f6-5dcdcfcd3162-0 And so she will. 88fe388a-54b8-4668-af57-4b317b6f3e10-0 Thank you, appreciate it. 1a8e943a-dec6-4f78-86b7-abe19dc7600d-0 Returning more members of the ad hoc committees have receiving the best 1a8e943a-dec6-4f78-86b7-abe19dc7600d-1 bringing them back to ad hoc committees that I eliminate each plan and this 1a8e943a-dec6-4f78-86b7-abe19dc7600d-2 year's service and I discussed it and we felt that the purpose of those committees 1a8e943a-dec6-4f78-86b7-abe19dc7600d-3 were the process of getting the board ruling was just saying and everything in 1a8e943a-dec6-4f78-86b7-abe19dc7600d-4 motion. 127d7597-e5df-4332-bba1-a63319d9302b-0 There's no need for those projects. 5bc798ac-9af7-4853-aca0-6f014b9c5dd3-0 As far

005as as your service visualization again that has move forward the process 5bc798ac-9af7-4853-aca0-6f014b9c5dd3-1 is done with respect to getting the report. fb70c1d8-47ce-4862-8650-66561414c079-0 The report has been prepared has been presented. 4dbb8b2c-057d-4c3e-b27f-c44295eebf32-0 The team will talk about the briefly come back, 4dbb8b2c-057d-4c3e-b27f-c44295eebf32-1 which is what the board see what the next step is. a0588470-9133-412b-bc9f-b69ed3b3151d-0 But as far as those committees, they're really feeling negotiations still a0588470-9133-412b-bc9f-b69ed3b3151d-1 exist and we don't formally our current times are just expired 2028, a0588470-9133-412b-bc9f-b69ed3b3151d-2 so the year before July 27th start the process kept the committee because every a0588470-9133-412b-bc9f-b69ed3b3151d-3 once in a while there's some issues that the next year or so. 734fb6d0-e54f-40e1-ad43-59baee18e141-0 So it's there just in case we have done as far as the representative assignments, 734fb6d0-e54f-40e1-ad43-59baee18e141-1 there were fewer points like the interest of school horse association and delegate 734fb6d0-e54f-40e1-ad43-59baee18e141-2 interest of the

006horse association. 50468509-86af-4ff8-986e-65e8323c37cf-0 I'm not exactly sure what the difference is now that I apologize, 50468509-86af-4ff8-986e-65e8323c37cf-1 but if somebody wants to, you're interested, 50468509-86af-4ff8-986e-65e8323c37cf-2 hopefully you're more satisfied. 866255cd-e5eb-444d-8bbb-3a8a0730e697-0 But again, it's just with respect to the operations 866255cd-e5eb-444d-8bbb-3a8a0730e697-1 and finance, there is some overlap in those areas. 6020622f-f443-46b2-bd7c-0ac99323b807-0 So when I have many of the people on that committee with respect to communities, 6020622f-f443-46b2-bd7c-0ac99323b807-1 they should say. 5adbea7d-a5c1-41bb-8cfd-780c364d6587-0 But it doesn't include more or anyone else. 847b1373-bfac-4ed7-960e-5ee90e85b64d-0 The committee reports are folders and discuss the matters. 8c6940d7-1e51-4e8b-a70b-12eacfa32779-0 So if you're not the Education Committee. 35f81e31-040e-4778-a75a-eadfab1c8ffa-0 None high school financially set over some of the best educational 35f81e31-040e-4778-a75a-eadfab1c8ffa-1 opportunities that are public. 56f1869b-ab1b-4ff6-b422-a9285c33abbe-0 However, I will not ignore some workers whether it 56f1869b-ab1b-4ff6-b422-a9285c33abbe-1 be our financial stability or the quality and diversity of our educational programs. 357b9bc6-3b7e-47d0-a213-1cb6d640e21e-0 I can state

007with certainty that we have a balanced budget and we are a target to 357b9bc6-3b7e-47d0-a213-1cb6d640e21e-1 operate within budget in 202526 school year. 08470719-565e-47de-bd77-0b32b8aa7b11-0 Many of you heard that Montclair is almost 20 million in the whole and 08470719-565e-47de-bd77-0b32b8aa7b11-1 confident that that will not be as we and support work diligently to ensure we have 08470719-565e-47de-bd77-0b32b8aa7b11-2 many challenges that will face us in the upcoming budget such as our budgets 08470719-565e-47de-bd77-0b32b8aa7b11-3 approximately $54,000,000. 313a5c29-0ce1-4a1b-bb33-a6e69dd4a4d3-0 The big items in the budget are teachers salaries and benefits which represent 313a5c29-0ce1-4a1b-bb33-a6e69dd4a4d3-1 over $22 million. 23c19116-56f2-41db-9d76-673e08da5632-0 Our administrative employees represent another 3,000,003 + 1,000,000. 89192348-205c-4db3-b20c-5fdeb78ebbe9-0 Support services including operations and maintenance represent approximately 5. 89192348-205c-4db3-b20c-5fdeb78ebbe9-1 2 million special education to ensuing services 5.5 million. 467dcf44-b41b-44c5-a1de-fdf6eaf9b559-0 Most students will typically fund special education about 40,000 per student or 50, 467dcf44-b41b-44c5-a1de-fdf6eaf9b559-1 055 thousand. 9ea701f4-326a-404b-af67-e221e96d7d08-0 This past year,

008the state providers with about 3 million 9ea701f4-326a-404b-af67-e221e96d7d08-1 an age. 77c54dac-b00a-4956-9bbb-8221f2869923-0 So we can see that the state does not fund any of the transportation costs 77c54dac-b00a-4956-9bbb-8221f2869923-1 associated with special education. 2169c33c-f7b7-4782-a472-1f4ab1a9d6c7-0 We get about being repetitive because our audience changes all the time and these 2169c33c-f7b7-4782-a472-1f4ab1a9d6c7-1 are the science system must be drilled in so the public for that effect. 817e4496-16f3-4d19-ab33-0ba306bc4e72-0 Our overall transportation costs are about $3. 817e4496-16f3-4d19-ab33-0ba306bc4e72-1 7 million was most was most that be mandated by the state it's in. b0a6d697-9499-40d0-92c5-228b3623c4bb-0 This is our students lifers not a significant expense which is not mandated, b0a6d697-9499-40d0-92c5-228b3623c4bb-1 but it's purely in our disturbation. fd6e05d1-ac5d-477d-9ba1-b3b4e33bc922-0 It's our small programs in extra curricular activities which are probably fd6e05d1-ac5d-477d-9ba1-b3b4e33bc922-1 2 million. 0910524a-f5ed-4f59-8418-efd28326175a-0 Many of you are feeling that like the rise in health was I can assuring that 0910524a-f5ed-4f59-8418-efd28326175a-1 watching bills

009is no different. d33789c2-647c-4a3e-b6e0-253daa12d86f-0 As our expenses are increasing at the renewal, the $1,000, d33789c2-647c-4a3e-b6e0-253daa12d86f-1 000 yearly annually will continue to rise in double digit rings. 2e773556-be3d-40e1-9f59-280af73c17e7-0 The country with the Teachers Association and our staff members are all due to 2e773556-be3d-40e1-9f59-280af73c17e7-1 expire June 30th, 2028. 3442a2ea-8055-42b0-87b3-ef6bea82cffb-0 Although we have a little over a year before we begin negotiations, 3442a2ea-8055-42b0-87b3-ef6bea82cffb-1 it's never too early to start thinking about it as in the past negotiations have 3442a2ea-8055-42b0-87b3-ef6bea82cffb-2 been a challenge. eb34a19a-64df-4815-9180-05312494f6a6-0 We certainly appreciate respect for teachers and staff and what our staff eb34a19a-64df-4815-9180-05312494f6a6-1 does for us, but I feel in a really great relationship. fb5c1a9b-5611-4f88-b989-52cab9fac2b5-0 A few review of our course offerings demonstrate that the first comprehensive fb5c1a9b-5611-4f88-b989-52cab9fac2b5-1 range of opportunities our students are able to challenge their minds and fb5c1a9b-5611-4f88-b989-52cab9fac2b5-2 development intelligent and mature adults who are ready for

010what the world might fb5c1a9b-5611-4f88-b989-52cab9fac2b5-3 have in store. debff1e1-a994-486f-9fdc-da291e48e00d-0 We're focused on providing all sorts of opportunities in United District, debff1e1-a994-486f-9fdc-da291e48e00d-1 which is focused on one-size-fits-all across and it means we will have our debff1e1-a994-486f-9fdc-da291e48e00d-2 collaborations with local university and the creative opportunities for which our debff1e1-a994-486f-9fdc-da291e48e00d-3 students will be able to accept. 1e253c0d-77c5-4982-8c7a-b8ce6b76082c-0 In the past month, shared services and regionalization study 1e253c0d-77c5-4982-8c7a-b8ce6b76082c-1 were receiving these developments. c2ff8d57-adc1-4d5f-9e5f-c78986b46235-0 I'm aware that this quite confrontational, quite controversial. 560ff764-a451-4407-b3b6-2da64f7094f6-0 Whether we regionalize or not, that is whether we regionalize or not, 560ff764-a451-4407-b3b6-2da64f7094f6-1 that is not really the issue. cbe1a7a7-c721-4b08-a39f-2f96daf8ac8b-0 The issue is to happen. 84217f73-0e5a-4686-a732-99bcf5dcf1fc-0 We perform and operate it as a concern collaboration with the K8. be85e5ee-1a28-463a-bf1a-622a8a6926b1-0 My motto has always been students first. aa0c5839-8f71-4e03-a3aa-7cc2a848d139-0 One of the biggest concerns I have is curriculum coordinates. b4acc4d2-da62-431a-b94f-b3634a3f265f-0 I'm tired of hearing

011that we need coming fresh when the coming freshers are not on b4acc4d2-da62-431a-b94f-b3634a3f265f-1 an equal fighting and that our 9th grade teachers have to work the next to work b4acc4d2-da62-431a-b94f-b3634a3f265f-2 the balance of education needs of all states. 1cd65ff7-ccce-4ccf-ab06-c6408739b191-0 This should not be the case as the facility improvement. 0538cf2a-490c-4871-ba53-c6913398056c-0 We have a long term plan and we interest lands each year. 090c5ffb-1f40-4a2f-8add-4b4aa8668d44-0 We have done a great job over the years, whether it's the Performing Arts Center 090c5ffb-1f40-4a2f-8add-4b4aa8668d44-1 or sports builds, the brand new design lab, 090c5ffb-1f40-4a2f-8add-4b4aa8668d44-2 ceramic lab as well as classes for science, etcetera, students, 090c5ffb-1f40-4a2f-8add-4b4aa8668d44-3 not only the best teachers but also the best designs we can provide. 03f83226-29ee-4696-8c12-6a88b2e4a25b-0 As for education and I mentioned, I mentioned the numerous that is being 03f83226-29ee-4696-8c12-6a88b2e4a25b-1 focused on legacy, but fortunately we do not have to focus 03f83226-29ee-4696-8c12-6a88b2e4a25b-2 on

015have a policy policy. 8dd4d073-9704-44ab-abee-8d75bc099aef-0 What is the background on any policy changes so we can look at the document? 4469a505-d957-4895-a9c6-5ee404b50f83-0 I. f1f78244-46b2-4037-8b62-63751e5696f1-0 So the first one, a couple board members to review the f1f78244-46b2-4037-8b62-63751e5696f1-1 version that we had done with the board attorney, I apologize. af452891-31df-4357-9c6e-5dcf050402d8-0 So I have that up here. e9354044-64ea-499f-99c9-10e8cbffdd5c-0 There were three areas that policy and so the first one was this particular e9354044-64ea-499f-99c9-10e8cbffdd5c-1 statement. 3c788ec5-bed6-42f2-8157-1b8cad291452-0 From the attorney, what other districts have done is they 3c788ec5-bed6-42f2-8157-1b8cad291452-1 just promote that statement they have not put in. 7eb4d310-aa5e-4d19-8c72-58f7008b5006-0 You know there is an affirmative responsibility over there because that's 7eb4d310-aa5e-4d19-8c72-58f7008b5006-1 actually what there's a mitigation about because but it just takes the statement. a41d5737-ad59-471f-9439-86dba8630bfe-0 So it takes over and out what that statement is accurate. 5fc61391-8b4c-45c1-8a7e-976be2415aa9-0 But since it is caused and caused disagreement, 5fc61391-8b4c-45c1-8a7e-976be2415aa9-1 that

016was the recommendation was to just what that statement, 5fc61391-8b4c-45c1-8a7e-976be2415aa9-2 that statement is actually true. 7ee5e1d5-d447-4e87-b28f-01ded1f341d6-0 And then the next part just had to do with the the students file as they have, 7ee5e1d5-d447-4e87-b28f-01ded1f341d6-1 you know, they did go through and they're called by 7ee5e1d5-d447-4e87-b28f-01ded1f341d6-2 the mothers of the birthday permanent student records with their birth name and 7ee5e1d5-d447-4e87-b28f-01ded1f341d6-3 didn't specify the policy that the parent had access to that former file. 962d6a26-6ec6-4d77-89a4-d22d44f4206c-0 It was kind of just a given, but it wasn't the policy. 4b9e7ef0-3433-40c6-91a4-6cc23247d917-0 So that's just when it got the end. 8b78ea67-0bca-4f7a-9dfc-1addaf80b3ca-0 The meeting behind that was of a student goes by a different name. b7d86e6f-2a96-456f-b43b-8486f8122998-0 You know, the case of a transgender student, b7d86e6f-2a96-456f-b43b-8486f8122998-1 let's say they come to our districts and from, you know, the elementary school. e6927864-4d17-41fc-8f3e-594d39a21b89-0 There's no need for the teachers here

017to know their history and to see that their e6927864-4d17-41fc-8f3e-594d39a21b89-1 parents. 716bab48-9d9a-4734-9ae3-2294302b6f1a-0 So that's why it wasn't indicating that the parents have worked up, you know, 716bab48-9d9a-4734-9ae3-2294302b6f1a-1 who are talking about access to their birth name. c4ce2070-257e-4bc5-9103-6c8a777eeb54-0 The parents wanted to know that. d6476151-2bdc-45a1-9d15-b80cfeb09451-0 But we just added that in here so it makes that more clear. d1458a86-e537-4ab9-b2fa-643049b6f5b7-0 And then the one SPS just says we are a member of the NSA, d1458a86-e537-4ab9-b2fa-643049b6f5b7-1 we follow their guidelines. ee41439d-e6e3-421c-bdf0-bbff1afd8800-0 There is a statement here about gender segregated classes or athletic activities ee41439d-e6e3-421c-bdf0-bbff1afd8800-1 and the manner consistent with their gender identity, ee41439d-e6e3-421c-bdf0-bbff1afd8800-2 which is what the interest I allows. 5a0bafaa-870e-45ee-9e76-539a11c9b335-0 There is no keel process in the interest I what a board member brought up. c1d5ea9a-ba20-46aa-9842-ae4dd25cfa26-0 So just a particular piece we added in that for interest, c1d5ea9a-ba20-46aa-9842-ae4dd25cfa26-1 I support the district

018and participation, which obviously The thing is that five c1d5ea9a-ba20-46aa-9842-ae4dd25cfa26-2 board members for discussion and and provision and this is what the attorney c1d5ea9a-ba20-46aa-9842-ae4dd25cfa26-3 had recommended. f2dcbfb4-7526-4f83-9dc3-0db96bc950c7-0 My understanding is that OK, I'm very rarely accused of being to f2dcbfb4-7526-4f83-9dc3-0db96bc950c7-1 clients, so I feel I can rise to the occasion. 0b6d47e4-989c-46a7-a77c-eee38a75b69a-0 So my understanding is that if a student comes out to the school as transgender 0b6d47e4-989c-46a7-a77c-eee38a75b69a-1 and indicates to the school that they wish that, 0b6d47e4-989c-46a7-a77c-eee38a75b69a-2 that they wish that to be confidential from their parents, 0b6d47e4-989c-46a7-a77c-eee38a75b69a-3 that confidentiality will be respected. 93ffdebc-fa33-4f7b-b9c4-68e15e161620-0 Is that still your understanding under the rating of this policy? 89734176-edcb-43d7-85d7-3f37309599f0-0 And where is So that's part of the law. 430d8f16-3a89-4f7a-8085-8cc0d1d8a124-0 The policy doesn't even that's the only place that it addresses that is that 430d8f16-3a89-4f7a-8085-8cc0d1d8a124-1 particular line that says there is no affirmative duty

019for any school district 430d8f16-3a89-4f7a-8085-8cc0d1d8a124-2 staff members to notify students, parents of the students gender identity 430d8f16-3a89-4f7a-8085-8cc0d1d8a124-3 or expression. 045211f0-0a4d-40a6-a16b-2b91d35a3274-0 It doesn't talk about that. 0fc0112c-963d-4c00-966b-c900837d6224-0 I don't believe anywhere else in the policy because it's just well, 0fc0112c-963d-4c00-966b-c900837d6224-1 there's a section called on page 5. 3b20df6a-edb8-4f4d-a4c4-cbdbac97c71d-0 Since confidentiality and privacy staff member school staff members may not 3b20df6a-edb8-4f4d-a4c4-cbdbac97c71d-1 disclose information that may reveal the students transgender status, 3b20df6a-edb8-4f4d-a4c4-cbdbac97c71d-2 except if that's allowed by law. 215d3463-2c28-44bd-9da9-d65d17b2726c-0 The principal or doesn't need is advised to work with the student to create an 215d3463-2c28-44bd-9da9-d65d17b2726c-1 appropriate confidentiality plan regarding the students transgender or 215d3463-2c28-44bd-9da9-d65d17b2726c-2 transistor status. 0a7175c4-3bf0-4df1-9f7a-768a77f0cc63-0 So is is that where that would come in as part of the confidentiality plan would 0a7175c4-3bf0-4df1-9f7a-768a77f0cc63-1 include confidentiality with respect to parents. 940dca1e-e11e-4a7c-a284-5857bdef51a6-0 You know, it's a little bit it's a little 940dca1e-e11e-4a7c-a284-5857bdef51a6-1 contradictory, but

020when I say that I know that's the 940dca1e-e11e-4a7c-a284-5857bdef51a6-2 correct or what because one student we haven't had that particular issue because 940dca1e-e11e-4a7c-a284-5857bdef51a6-3 our students, I think probably because we're in high 940dca1e-e11e-4a7c-a284-5857bdef51a6-4 school. 3c6de3b3-2b97-426a-aaa3-85ee7bb56c26-0 So the students families are part of what we're usually working with the student 3c6de3b3-2b97-426a-aaa3-85ee7bb56c26-1 and their family to help them with their, their, with any support that they need. 3832f8ba-c88b-4c37-be25-1242da88e832-0 Thankfully, I know it's not like good in every 3832f8ba-c88b-4c37-be25-1242da88e832-1 community, but in our community, you know, we haven't had that issue of the, 3832f8ba-c88b-4c37-be25-1242da88e832-2 of needing to keep that information from parents. cb9e79cd-dea5-4e23-a92b-371fe31cec56-0 The other pieces that our students change their name and it's in Genesis. 40510f91-43c8-418f-aac2-816b980b5063-0 So I, I can't say 100% for sure that we haven't 40510f91-43c8-418f-aac2-816b980b5063-1 had the issue where we need to keep the confidence from the parents. 088ac9b8-36bf-42b8-8b49-a18e80bd551d-0

021I don't believe that because the students, when they change it in Genesis, 088ac9b8-36bf-42b8-8b49-a18e80bd551d-1 which their parents have access to. 43eafab6-400d-4ab1-8e0b-07d53a7e4041-0 Now, obviously if it was a situation where 43eafab6-400d-4ab1-8e0b-07d53a7e4041-1 there was some, you know, some confidentiality to keep the need to 43eafab6-400d-4ab1-8e0b-07d53a7e4041-2 figure out a workaround for that. 7a9f63bb-21cb-41d7-ace6-5b8fe1d3692b-0 But we haven't had issue because generally what happens here is the 7a9f63bb-21cb-41d7-ace6-5b8fe1d3692b-1 parents are actually the ones reaching out to us saying we just want to make 7a9f63bb-21cb-41d7-ace6-5b8fe1d3692b-2 sure that there are supports in place to design for students. 6de888ca-4464-433d-b0c4-339a5fe3eb4a-0 And then the other piece this is going to play, 6de888ca-4464-433d-b0c4-339a5fe3eb4a-1 I remember years ago transgender policy came out and we also have HIV policy, 6de888ca-4464-433d-b0c4-339a5fe3eb4a-2 which is going through some revisions. 395070c5-579f-4199-a577-8a0d24656db1-0 Our question is administrator says, OK, so we're supposed to keep that 395070c5-579f-4199-a577-8a0d24656db1-1 confidential. 3b2a7388-d733-4592-9a84-f79b0a76846d-0 However,

022what if there is a HIV because we stick 3b2a7388-d733-4592-9a84-f79b0a76846d-1 to transgender status? 53fb490e-36f6-4b87-afc1-6db9cec6d154-0 How do we talk to the parent about that if the transgender status is confidential? 46415384-764c-4834-8bc7-802949f5e175-0 They didn't have great answers for that. fcd682b9-c636-400e-bef7-1ec1a51289b6-0 But again, in our district, that has not been an issue. 14eecfa3-ee98-4900-b452-ec79fbb2e6cc-0 And I do think that's important to consider in the context of all of this. ebbdf311-fcbd-401a-9b32-d162ee2d2a42-0 And, you know, we're not looking to keep secrets from ebbdf311-fcbd-401a-9b32-d162ee2d2a42-1 parents. 0758554b-2e4a-4d89-8ccf-9515b5981c3d-0 If there is an issue where it's confidential, 0758554b-2e4a-4d89-8ccf-9515b5981c3d-1 we're looking to work with the student to help them. 9d9d9d80-d9ad-446c-80ef-ecb15831ba40-0 But we haven't had that situation where it's usually the parents reaching out to 9d9d9d80-d9ad-446c-80ef-ecb15831ba40-1 us to get support for their student. d355d598-3497-4a85-a647-4a3e654d7703-0 I had another question on the on these the NJS. 71079a42-12a9-4002-876b-b5f9704779c7-0 So I understand that the idea is

023to include the reference to the NJSA 71079a42-12a9-4002-876b-b5f9704779c7-1 guidelines in order to make it clear that the appeals process is available. 5d203328-462b-4a15-9e3d-2d4dcf83ec0e-0 I am concerned, however, if the NJSA changes their policy and 5d203328-462b-4a15-9e3d-2d4dcf83ec0e-1 facts about that policy, which doesn't seem to be any current 5d203328-462b-4a15-9e3d-2d4dcf83ec0e-2 indication that they will. 07db401d-8b8e-4e91-a102-c78b4e392619-0 But one can't predict to the extent the New Jersey law remains unchanged. 0cec7525-a0da-45c1-8728-62a5fce72bce-0 Should we have a provision in here that says that we will follow their guidelines 0cec7525-a0da-45c1-8728-62a5fce72bce-1 to the extent that they comply with New Jersey law? 1e93e584-a434-41ff-a4b1-b88f394f3fca-0 So my my answer to that would be that if that happened, 1e93e584-a434-41ff-a4b1-b88f394f3fca-1 we would be updating our policy because of the law change regarding that exercise 1e93e584-a434-41ff-a4b1-b88f394f3fca-2 guidelines would change regarding that. f569235b-d1b6-490a-a0ee-d13ddb2a8385-0 That would be something we would actually do and update the policy if it

024wasn't f569235b-d1b6-490a-a0ee-d13ddb2a8385-1 compliant with the law. eb3203db-7cd4-44ab-b135-f2373da0f4c8-0 So I think there's different ways we could go about that, eb3203db-7cd4-44ab-b135-f2373da0f4c8-1 but that's happened before. ef7e7f49-6ff7-40da-8df5-1f1f4e3f1877-0 That's why we get a lot of policy updates because the law changes. d3b67ed5-8146-4310-bae7-69187c7b53a5-0 And so we do want to change our policy, but to get that to see how suddenly a d3b67ed5-8146-4310-bae7-69187c7b53a5-1 board decision, I would propose that we put in a d3b67ed5-8146-4310-bae7-69187c7b53a5-2 permission because if the rules, if the sports rules change and the law d3b67ed5-8146-4310-bae7-69187c7b53a5-3 does not change, our duty is to complete the court. 853bb809-72be-47e2-a7f1-fb496e4fcc71-0 I think to clarify, the idea is, I think what you're saying is if for some 853bb809-72be-47e2-a7f1-fb496e4fcc71-1 reason that JSIA changes their policy and is no longer complying with the law, 853bb809-72be-47e2-a7f1-fb496e4fcc71-2 just because we're following their policy, we're not going to follow their policy if 853bb809-72be-47e2-a7f1-fb496e4fcc71-3

025the policy goes against the law. e68aa2da-ecad-4de8-b44c-a9056cf819d2-0 Although I don't see that necessarily happening because that would accept so e68aa2da-ecad-4de8-b44c-a9056cf819d2-1 many schools. 0e12c081-49f1-4245-ac46-67df0890704e-0 But I think that's what your question I have. a9755cf2-0d9f-4432-940c-97b351c91a89-0 I understand that it's unlikely, but in the interest of protecting the a9755cf2-0d9f-4432-940c-97b351c91a89-1 students, I wouldn't. bae91abc-7bc5-441d-a3bb-8f398d3fbbf0-0 I wouldn't urge just to put a provision in there that will continue to comply bae91abc-7bc5-441d-a3bb-8f398d3fbbf0-1 with New Jersey law at the event that the guidelines are changed in a way that bae91abc-7bc5-441d-a3bb-8f398d3fbbf0-2 doesn't, as opposed to a blanket commitment to bae91abc-7bc5-441d-a3bb-8f398d3fbbf0-3 public guidelines when we have no control over those guidelines. d16ab143-2102-4610-a595-e3f1c6b4216f-0 None. 47f480a8-3282-494f-8769-84663ca9ece7-0 Rescinded, not abolished. 6dfdb0ac-58c8-4a30-9b3c-d168b823be2d-0 It was rescinded. dfd63482-0a1e-48de-9d0a-1d0481c1af69-0 It was each part of this policy is already in. 56f45a5d-b2cc-4eea-9802-479a335a8bfd-0 So I just want to make that statement that doesn't. d4583688-c93a-476c-b63c-c249cbdbf6b8-0 And again, second, next part

026is HISSI has a process that was d4583688-c93a-476c-b63c-c249cbdbf6b8-1 confidential. d8fe9fd5-1e3d-41c0-b9af-2ad7ea54549f-0 So we really don't know. 9124e2e9-e7a1-4318-9420-99e31ded4521-0 The other one is the definitions of the terms with these policies are not very 9124e2e9-e7a1-4318-9420-99e31ded4521-1 well defined. 123ad3ef-d618-48cd-9109-6d76df4ecc04-0 So specifically what is a woman needs to be defined very clearly. 86141346-2111-42a8-a34c-459094dc365c-0 I would define that as some of the I would absolutely absolutely against it's 86141346-2111-42a8-a34c-459094dc365c-1 why problems on personal protective signs here within the play within ** spring 86141346-2111-42a8-a34c-459094dc365c-2 summer, which is that is dangerous, dangerous and quite frankly the arguments 86141346-2111-42a8-a34c-459094dc365c-3 of spring corn last week were heard clear where that's going. 72117154-79ef-4bca-a16d-d4daf0333403-0 So most likely the federal laws make the decision are assumed that it might is 72117154-79ef-4bca-a16d-d4daf0333403-1 dictate other words, and I would not be in support of why 72117154-79ef-4bca-a16d-d4daf0333403-2 individuals that be in X mix locker rooms in

027their sports and in their whistling 72117154-79ef-4bca-a16d-d4daf0333403-3 where they're undressing or supposed to 100 in a decent matter which might 72117154-79ef-4bca-a16d-d4daf0333403-4 actually come under. c09bd512-3510-4eea-b8e0-7d356fbbc4f6-0 But that means by definition, you can't do it. e1df199c-801c-44b5-9d21-1068c74e6394-0 And that's not appealed. 0d9a0bf0-6a9b-4a29-8f63-68d116f0423f-0 They allow what they go against. 213631a0-1d3f-4a31-aeb1-b2c27e9cc180-0 If I'm not afraid of if you remember, I said. 30bcc0e6-fdcd-4095-98b5-caeaad6d30cf-0 With all due respect, your definition of what a woman is is 30bcc0e6-fdcd-4095-98b5-caeaad6d30cf-1 entirely irrelevant in the New Jersey law. 6268f527-7f1c-429e-8394-716653813428-0 The law against discrimination provides that we as a school have to provide 6268f527-7f1c-429e-8394-716653813428-1 access irrespective of gender identity or expression. 53418e11-addc-4c89-8c8f-172898a84c54-0 So your definition of a woman doesn't matter under New Jersey law. 1d5517db-cced-4cda-ad0b-8b54b46b2f8a-0 This policy isn't about women. e32f48e6-b2c8-4fa7-8422-73ae8b8a7347-0 It's about transgender children and their gender identity and how they identify is e32f48e6-b2c8-4fa7-8422-73ae8b8a7347-1 determinate math. 10da38ac-9e4c-45bb-81dc-54a51dd5aae3-0 Whether they are

028a girl or a boy. c26fbd17-1434-4cbf-954a-ba7044bd26ff-0 For purposes not only of this policy, but for purposes of New Jersey law. a8281ab7-e717-46fd-9a8f-555767c4cbee-0 And for purposes of it is absolutely irrelevant what my definition of a woman a8281ab7-e717-46fd-9a8f-555767c4cbee-1 is or what your definition of a woman is, because the state of New Jersey by law, a8281ab7-e717-46fd-9a8f-555767c4cbee-2 which we have taken an oath collectively to uphold, a8281ab7-e717-46fd-9a8f-555767c4cbee-3 stated that we may not discriminate with respect to access to sports and changing a8281ab7-e717-46fd-9a8f-555767c4cbee-4 facilities and bathrooms based on gender identity or gender expression. e4b89c9d-e60d-4b01-b0f5-7c92b66e7125-0 That ends the inquiry. 9f02fee5-8f42-4234-9e55-c921c91f5ac6-0 You don't need to define what a woman is. be9bda2c-f2b1-467c-b6f0-b2e14ca2513e-0 I don't care how I would define it or you would define it, be9bda2c-f2b1-467c-b6f0-b2e14ca2513e-1 and neither does New Jersey. 19503fb1-da4c-4f13-84be-00a568d0a371-0 You took an oath to uphold New Jersey law as it pertains to education. 5c63c525-bf94-4e0b-850e-6f2782a0e045-0

029New Jersey law speaks specifically to this issue and says that we cannot 5c63c525-bf94-4e0b-850e-6f2782a0e045-1 discriminate based on gender identity. 74cef2d1-8d24-4b6f-a5f1-27676adfb94a-0 You did. e363d165-8c07-4424-9572-682db0ab4101-0 Don't need the policy. cf52aa12-613b-4b36-b6e7-8bfe1818d38e-0 There's a lot of mandated policies. ee65d84a-7095-4ebc-a494-3e9247bcd291-0 I just reiterate one of the things I've observed that when they have overlapping ee65d84a-7095-4ebc-a494-3e9247bcd291-1 policies, they have a tendency to make them ee65d84a-7095-4ebc-a494-3e9247bcd291-2 redundant and completing at exactly the same time. 07de4b21-5d2f-474b-b0a2-2b5920bf9af1-0 Now that's a mystery in my mind, but it happens. f21e65a9-b31e-4faf-bcab-a64a42496abd-0 It happens over and over again. 41d26736-8fa7-481b-b70b-fc4ffd43f590-0 This is an example in this particular policy and it's what folks gave and spoke 41d26736-8fa7-481b-b70b-fc4ffd43f590-1 to us and I understand their concerns that if we tell parents about minor 41d26736-8fa7-481b-b70b-fc4ffd43f590-2 children and their decisions, these children might be there the danger 41d26736-8fa7-481b-b70b-fc4ffd43f590-3 of going on with being abused. 73acb360-47d8-4b90-b0ab-4b3f02c20fd4-0 Now I'm sort of

030sympathetic with that but exactly at the same time it is the law in 73acb360-47d8-4b90-b0ab-4b3f02c20fd4-1 state of New Jersey and our our attorney confirm this with us that if a teacher or 73acb360-47d8-4b90-b0ab-4b3f02c20fd4-2 counselor school in this state is in danger of being abused. c3262418-28de-4b33-b901-7ecd3f0492bc-0 They must have like this so it seems to be easy such a very conflicting thoughts. 7686b973-02df-4e9b-b552-ad274ca50360-0 You can't withhold from the parents because you think the child's going to be 7686b973-02df-4e9b-b552-ad274ca50360-1 abused and at the same time you think the child's going to abuse. 88af3e64-912c-4e65-8508-e9124acae8cb-0 You want to get in touch with the parents. a3f3cd8c-ed6d-422c-85ae-1de907982ffc-0 To me, this policy, at the point when you get not not a3f3cd8c-ed6d-422c-85ae-1de907982ffc-1 required policies, the inevitability is that these a3f3cd8c-ed6d-422c-85ae-1de907982ffc-2 background, as I say, redundant and conflicting simultaneously a3f3cd8c-ed6d-422c-85ae-1de907982ffc-3 and I would just rather not be involved in

031that. d12ff16b-b9fa-4004-852d-0698f6e0e33b-0 State law dictates and I think we all stay and the next question is policies. 7af7c3e7-faea-4ad1-a187-2f96e8edaee2-0 For whatever reason, state requires us. addd34d2-29ab-4ba7-9c11-ec3614332fd6-0 Even if those state policies just reiterate what the law is. f53d396e-ab92-46b3-a60c-01431a7487cb-0 I imagine the reason why they do that is so that individuals have an easy sense f53d396e-ab92-46b3-a60c-01431a7487cb-1 location to look at what's going on with the laws that have the code. 883c6d2f-b707-47e7-98f6-1fa7419e69de-0 And that's not as easy to do versus just going to our example corporate sponsors, 883c6d2f-b707-47e7-98f6-1fa7419e69de-1 what we're going to do in the state law box. 477e329b-d951-4da5-a445-e3ba681ebf91-0 But again, if there's a state law, so most a lot of our policies just put a 477e329b-d951-4da5-a445-e3ba681ebf91-1 cut and paste, just take the law, put a policy this way, 477e329b-d951-4da5-a445-e3ba681ebf91-2 everyone is essential and we serve policies that just help them. 5931a545-52a5-4153-ba68-330c195fd05a-0 That

032talks about, say, Navy rights. 6385fac9-13f8-449b-97ac-e792d2d0b4e6-0 Again, we get policies that we're talking about 6385fac9-13f8-449b-97ac-e792d2d0b4e6-1 right now. fd7b2b6c-3abd-4ed5-a7bb-9952b73d1522-0 There's not a required policy. 53295a1c-82cb-4761-88fc-5b9e4343204a-0 There is a law. a9612d0d-500f-425c-b781-3782a1d5066f-0 So we can state this. 114581b8-6e87-402d-a52c-35668acd86f1-0 We have not changed our view with regard to the law. e05f16ca-e947-4d8e-b6f1-06bdcc69329f-0 That's what I discussed somebody with regards to the interpretation I mentioned. 23d02f04-cb29-4887-ae5c-20624476ce80-0 They have their own view, that's fine. fd7cd3a3-ca06-4b3e-9045-f834132389f8-0 But we have to adopt their view within their view. b60f9715-c2ce-428f-a7a4-037ba7293da1-0 That's where I see the issues and I think I don't think anyones necessarily with b60f9715-c2ce-428f-a7a4-037ba7293da1-1 what they're saying just just reinforces it. 659890ef-3e8f-45dd-b92b-ed212da7d4b5-0 We're just states that's how I see the issue and verification of what's going on 659890ef-3e8f-45dd-b92b-ed212da7d4b5-1 and that's that's the issue. c9f1370e-5ddb-4f66-ac5c-17e192847466-0 NJLAD New Jersey law against discrimination. c14dd1d1-a556-46b5-aa6d-af039777156d-0 That's the law we're talking about. ed949f28-e21f-46e8-9321-9e26e1095ae9-0 That

033is in New Jersey, no person and we discriminate against no ed949f28-e21f-46e8-9321-9e26e1095ae9-1 matter who you are, what you are. 26395795-bf07-4b5f-98c0-c314dd6f7a27-0 I think Mr. d13dea16-5ff0-4c24-897d-ed91275fdbc0-0 Kaylan's comments are what his abuse or are discriminatory against transgender d13dea16-5ff0-4c24-897d-ed91275fdbc0-1 students. 1d4a263a-2aea-4344-af74-0975be68d0dc-0 I think for that reason we should have the policy in place so that people 1d4a263a-2aea-4344-af74-0975be68d0dc-1 understand that you cannot discriminate when there are laws in statement, 1d4a263a-2aea-4344-af74-0975be68d0dc-2 New Jersey saying. bb92d8d8-dbce-49e2-a0ba-be94e9dd4dc7-0 So for that reason alone, I think you should have the policy in bb92d8d8-dbce-49e2-a0ba-be94e9dd4dc7-1 place so that people understand what is considered the state of New Jersey 's. 383914b5-6da5-4085-8e98-42306cd04c17-0 So where am I wrong? af7d1a68-3ca7-42d9-b1cd-c7d8794b7e2e-0 And I'm saying and, and for that alone, I have a personal opinion from a board af7d1a68-3ca7-42d9-b1cd-c7d8794b7e2e-1 member that's discriminated or mandated in the policy. ae11047c-e929-4439-ba3f-1a346bf8e5f5-0 And this was mandated. a3e306e4-b15d-4c3e-b470-88485f1bc34d-0 At least it's not

034a story. 7e09b2f8-a2ae-47bb-8c02-41cc2f1b6a37-0 Just too harm to have the policy in place. 05bfda17-b33a-40c8-928f-4cde59bf905d-0 That's the way it works, that's the law and people make the call 05bfda17-b33a-40c8-928f-4cde59bf905d-1 as long as we don't like my call. f1239f7e-dc98-4132-b23a-65a6e4dd63d0-0 So whether someone believes a woman is what the definition of, f1239f7e-dc98-4132-b23a-65a6e4dd63d0-1 I don't really think that's necessarily the issue. e8d33d09-9dd6-436e-ada7-aaad89cdac9c-0 And she was the law issues living with. 4bb4d78a-4f93-44a4-b8ef-69f94e039845-0 I'd like to return to your point about the message. ac7e7c9c-1986-4313-980e-e0b905eb5f83-0 Respectfully, you're wrong about whether the students ac7e7c9c-1986-4313-980e-e0b905eb5f83-1 heard the message. 5c629dee-4739-4149-8750-a82343f4cfd1-0 We heard from Mary Sock, the advisor for the GSA, 5c629dee-4739-4149-8750-a82343f4cfd1-1 that she repeatedly gets asked by the students in the Gender and Sexuality 5c629dee-4739-4149-8750-a82343f4cfd1-2 Association, kids in the LGBTQIA community, 5c629dee-4739-4149-8750-a82343f4cfd1-3 that this is supposed to be covering. 9c921f4b-9c53-4d83-853a-df221d91b74c-0 She gets repeatedly asked why the board of their heats them

035now. 7adce0c9-2298-44b1-ae6d-175f083118cc-0 How do you reconcile that with your idea that no one has taken a connective 7adce0c9-2298-44b1-ae6d-175f083118cc-1 message from the rescission of this policy? 15446670-de91-4cd5-96b6-f52704e2baee-0 She spoke at the last meeting where there was public comment on that. eaaa0f43-232b-4d06-9cfb-ea75770e3547-0 You said you hadn't or I understood you to be saying that you had not heard from eaaa0f43-232b-4d06-9cfb-ea75770e3547-1 any individual students, that they weren't taking a negative eaaa0f43-232b-4d06-9cfb-ea75770e3547-2 message from this being resented. 2e901701-2437-49a6-bc6f-18e709fe006e-0 Perhaps I miss, perhaps I misunderstood you. d257b7b1-21db-4043-bdb7-6a7a13511900-0 Well, let's talk about the message, right? 04ed05c2-19c4-4ec9-ae82-dab21b48a677-0 But the message that we're sending this policy sent to the members of this 04ed05c2-19c4-4ec9-ae82-dab21b48a677-1 protective community is that their rights don't matter. 80163912-54fb-49ca-adc7-c3e24522f33f-0 The things that were said about that community during the debate about this 80163912-54fb-49ca-adc7-c3e24522f33f-1 policy were horrifically offensible and discriminatory. c20ec7ad-fd1a-473e-a07c-b3a3d00ba0dd-0 I'm not saying they were.

036044d684b-f22c-4af6-9ada-323ac67e0c23-0 They weren't. 47c2aee4-a867-4a66-9e67-0680b1055056-0 I'm sorry, right? 9899d2ad-fa18-4c5f-a692-20f060d6b183-0 And the message was heard loud and clear. abd68ef2-c6d3-49f1-89d0-1e29980f2161-0 The members of the LGBTQIA community at this school, abd68ef2-c6d3-49f1-89d0-1e29980f2161-1 irrespective of the fact that the law is out there, feel unprotected, abd68ef2-c6d3-49f1-89d0-1e29980f2161-2 unwelcome and at risk because of the board's actions for sending the policy. 46e7c53e-b350-4d9f-a50a-f5a46c87b533-0 So you can't put the GD back in the right. e1429e0d-e54d-4a79-95f3-f780077c5137-0 They can't on hear the horrific things that were said about them, e1429e0d-e54d-4a79-95f3-f780077c5137-1 the demeaning things that were said about them. 14069295-82be-4c8a-a376-01ceef99a2b3-0 But we can put the policy back in place. 09135d71-a81f-4ac6-ab0a-460494ef208b-0 I don't think anyone on the board said anything demeaning or anything. d6101b88-ac21-424b-87a5-e2ff4af16e78-0 As a member of the Clear Community, I can tell you a lot of what was said was d6101b88-ac21-424b-87a5-e2ff4af16e78-1 offensive. 8a7de8be-bef8-4717-b1c7-c8b9a0c392d6-0 I sat here during three board meetings and I

037listened to the comments and I also 8a7de8be-bef8-4717-b1c7-c8b9a0c392d6-1 listened to the recording of the meeting that I missed. 681df50d-7edf-4197-a8d3-b37ed7f9c959-0 And as a member of the community, I tell you it was hurtful and defensive. 63cff669-72db-486a-bc22-2dd4827d11bd-0 Not everything that was said, but a lot of what was said. 6df69726-30ac-4fa6-b0cd-eb83058ae1f7-0 Look, we're all missing the point of this 6df69726-30ac-4fa6-b0cd-eb83058ae1f7-1 discussion, right? 09336c95-88aa-4152-9346-dde1771663ab-0 This discussion was supposed to be that when it was rescinded, 09336c95-88aa-4152-9346-dde1771663ab-1 it was put out there that let let's release it and let's amend it and then 09336c95-88aa-4152-9346-dde1771663ab-2 reintroduce it, OK? 9a9c015e-58d4-4441-8fc0-bc8b6a96e617-0 So I think what we should do right now is either someone make a motion to either 9a9c015e-58d4-4441-8fc0-bc8b6a96e617-1 they want to reinstate the policy, they want to and then the policy as per 9a9c015e-58d4-4441-8fc0-bc8b6a96e617-2 these suggestions or nothing. c48082af-264e-4b40-95f8-eadd840547a8-0 Because we can go back and forth all

038day long with the debate. 4187bce8-487d-410f-89a6-e1a0ad86a980-0 I don't think that's really getting anywhere. 0033051b-1260-420b-9441-d506c81d1868-0 So that that's where I see us going right now with that, with this whole thing. 366b47f8-acc0-4c29-9681-e4721d6293c2-0 We can't make a motion before one second. f7d98a2d-a97e-4674-815c-546d047d6105-0 I just so someone there was a point where black people were enslaved. f0d795f7-68a8-499e-b6de-b8a50de4bfbd-0 I would have been an abolitionist. 644dd51f-9865-4798-8702-25357cb80f6b-0 There was a point where black people were under severe discrimination, 644dd51f-9865-4798-8702-25357cb80f6b-1 but I wanted one marched in the civil rights and was correct. 02fc64a6-00df-49be-a858-aeb95a163459-0 Not necessarily what the law was mostly by the way. 4d07d803-07cc-4800-b658-61aad2592891-0 And by the way that we have discrepancy between federal law and state law. 7ff3d678-69c4-49e6-8cbd-064e207c4582-0 And then which law do you lose? 354cf2fe-5e06-497e-86bb-6c54484b5fc2-0 That's what the slave owners a couple of things I wanted to respond to a very 354cf2fe-5e06-497e-86bb-6c54484b5fc2-1 eloquent woman from

039the LBE of the source account and by the LPG community Laman 354cf2fe-5e06-497e-86bb-6c54484b5fc2-2 and spoke to us and she was as I said, she was very eloquent about the issues 354cf2fe-5e06-497e-86bb-6c54484b5fc2-3 and are being concerned about. 12ef7205-87dc-45b2-bc31-bc146e347559-0 But she finished her very my final statement to us was she was very 12ef7205-87dc-45b2-bc31-bc146e347559-1 sympathetic and she understood that this particular policy is problematic. d43eae55-c9e8-496f-b995-eb4d9241fe2c-0 I think those words and words. a487696a-1bf3-49a0-8496-d5c362648d6c-0 This is a this is a problematic interpretation of the law. 3907e95b-59e9-4245-a1f8-0fe2210e3933-0 So because I've already said the second thing is Kenny, 3907e95b-59e9-4245-a1f8-0fe2210e3933-1 I appreciate what you're saying. 86694025-60d6-4c4c-bdfe-8d0938452f94-0 Maybe before we get any further in the weeds, 86694025-60d6-4c4c-bdfe-8d0938452f94-1 because several of you did not hear were not able to be part of the conversation 86694025-60d6-4c4c-bdfe-8d0938452f94-2 that we had with our attorney. a93d1a67-6ee8-4855-95c8-7316f78909dc-0 We invite our attorney back in it

040and we start going through the the specifics of a93d1a67-6ee8-4855-95c8-7316f78909dc-1 the policy which we had a chance to do. afc628a2-e66a-4d55-899f-b0cf0114b384-0 I think four people were not here at that time and able to go through because he afc628a2-e66a-4d55-899f-b0cf0114b384-1 was not supportive of this policy and there were reasons for that. 09e6a41c-2aaa-4793-a178-42da7810e177-0 If everyone heard that again and I'd like to continue that that off my chest. 5d21ce14-58fc-41a9-a7be-6cd9812f5c60-0 The other two policies to life help that are being suggested. 04dc5fcf-417e-4463-aea8-fafcff023440-0 I would sure love to drop the mark about them before they end. 9e816077-6a2c-47ce-b23c-20d46303ea04-0 Can I just see what the ability I don't think we anybody can make a motion to 9e816077-6a2c-47ce-b23c-20d46303ea04-1 bring out the proxy tonight. c8df3083-8bcb-4521-8b4d-1e196019a92c-0 It is out appropriately on the and the idea of moving on something or taking c8df3083-8bcb-4521-8b4d-1e196019a92c-1 action on something is important. 7e2f5f80-d03f-4071-8f0d-1587c1d607a4-0 Without

041providing a public opportunity for comments, 7e2f5f80-d03f-4071-8f0d-1587c1d607a4-1 I'm just responding to Jimmy's suggestion. edc3f52f-9b29-42e8-a6be-ea7248ba8066-0 Yeah, just because there's any perception and I edc3f52f-9b29-42e8-a6be-ea7248ba8066-1 get and again, that was one of my. 8ec23abd-acd3-4d98-8319-a9c814a0ec17-0 I don't know if that's what they say, but that doesn't mean it's just because 8ec23abd-acd3-4d98-8319-a9c814a0ec17-1 someone feels a certain way. 5628fe51-5e0b-4a4d-b612-23f944f37306-0 It's not always the case. bc259657-58f3-448d-ad03-05bae9b5e429-0 The next step is what what, what were you saying is that were you bc259657-58f3-448d-ad03-05bae9b5e429-1 saying these college changes do nothing? 78a987f1-13d5-47e1-a616-cbda2c8e9528-0 Remark it for some further discussion with some further analysis. 85bd1e12-673f-42d3-99ec-1b535627414d-0 See where the law is. 635d6ef6-f354-4bc1-aa8f-cc70a3f2f7ee-0 See what what's happening, you know, within the state, so to speak. 1236d46e-9c0e-4045-b7a5-1ab9c783b070-0 Maybe the new Commissioner of Education is going to do something. 770daea4-c4b4-42ec-abb2-a87b7e0d9c12-0 I don't know. 2c76dab7-6751-448c-ab56-0e68d3a6a16c-0 Then we have more information, but I feel like it was. cbd3771f-798c-4fe0-88c6-936215716db3-0

042Why just select one? 45b477f2-cdfd-4ce5-8bf2-c7c122a58dfa-0 Because it addresses issues that only address the transition to your personal. 302414e1-2bed-4286-b693-6d6c1dcc297b-0 But that aside and having to speak to the attorney, but also with you, 302414e1-2bed-4286-b693-6d6c1dcc297b-1 the student first in the fiscal, having this policy is helping to address 302414e1-2bed-4286-b693-6d6c1dcc297b-2 the marginalized section of the student body grade. d9ffbc4c-f6be-44ea-b868-a425169febc7-0 So if we're really here for students first, it should be both students. 3a532129-e438-48e6-a925-2d749ccfe51f-0 So those students also deserve respect. 183514ec-5270-4736-9a29-bd8adbf912b6-0 They deserve to have this policy written in place so that everybody knows most of 183514ec-5270-4736-9a29-bd8adbf912b6-1 that health is getting handled in response to detention issues. d73914ce-f40d-45b3-a08e-a1f7d313087b-0 So again, if we're really looking to take care of d73914ce-f40d-45b3-a08e-a1f7d313087b-1 the students, these students matter just as much as d73914ce-f40d-45b3-a08e-a1f7d313087b-2 everyone else. df64492a-5d5b-4e8d-9d15-a630bebbf4be-0 Maybe there's a confusion about what was discussed. 590af97b-1832-4606-aa5a-e8f2ac5862f6-0 None. c217d9f3-afdb-46b1-9235-986d6a24b125-0 None.

043a9f15aea-f1b7-4847-9917-5194a97237b1-0 I'm not saying we're collecting. b247db8f-db29-4ba7-acdc-c8ab02d21ed3-0 I don't want to look at the person who says let's just keep a lot has perhaps to b247db8f-db29-4ba7-acdc-c8ab02d21ed3-1 have in the last five to six months a lot of discussion. 1f25c34e-c801-48fe-9d8f-500e16d5eabe-0 What a sentiment from the public and then they can lose us downside by our attorney. 65204be2-4f3e-4f1d-a211-6118b4ddef4a-0 Please. cc19a656-9ecb-45cd-922f-b8ccfef48587-0 You may know to some extent our customers. 2b65adfd-9d31-4425-843c-61192fdea15f-0 This is not the first time again the the Board supports. c30fb592-e15c-4559-9c7a-86b4df8bc02a-0 So the next three policies and regulations are all centered around the c30fb592-e15c-4559-9c7a-86b4df8bc02a-1 freedom to read. 0ed1436b-6059-48b9-a706-7479a37c9b80-0 So that is new. 4ab6a721-c9ef-4629-8cac-d30a7cbcd0b6-0 The the new policy that came out of this, they created a policy purely focused on 4ab6a721-c9ef-4629-8cac-d30a7cbcd0b6-1 library materials because they wanted to separate that from regular resources. 0c7f3587-f3b6-42a4-9c41-1c8d590748a5-0 And so this has it governs library materials a little

044bit differently and it 0c7f3587-f3b6-42a4-9c41-1c8d590748a5-1 gives very specific guidelines on or may not request a library material to be 0c7f3587-f3b6-42a4-9c41-1c8d590748a5-2 removed from the library. b65a1db7-226f-4ad8-82c2-08c443efaefd-0 And that's really kind of the part of this. 10cb6d3e-faa1-4c9c-9a7e-6f6f06d7152f-0 And so the the key piece in this, so this is a brand new mandated policy 10cb6d3e-faa1-4c9c-9a7e-6f6f06d7152f-1 that we do not have, but it talks about the fact that an 10cb6d3e-faa1-4c9c-9a7e-6f6f06d7152f-2 individual with a vested interest is the only person that can request a library 10cb6d3e-faa1-4c9c-9a7e-6f6f06d7152f-3 material be removed. 982dd16b-ee67-47ed-98be-a28463a12532-0 And they define an individual with a vested interest as any teaching steps 982dd16b-ee67-47ed-98be-a28463a12532-1 ever employed by the Board of Education. a396bb4f-cda9-4f90-9d5e-8e75d7cee0a9-0 And apparently student enrolled in the school district at the time of removal, a396bb4f-cda9-4f90-9d5e-8e75d7cee0a9-1 not in any student enrolled in a school district at the time of the report, a396bb4f-cda9-4f90-9d5e-8e75d7cee0a9-2 but at the

045time of the report at the time. fcd1cdcf-9a98-453b-a6ff-38bb2e1b9d58-0 So this just governs this differently. 04e82a01-fb33-45ad-8805-b06ab540a167-0 There's a different process for review of curricular materials, 04e82a01-fb33-45ad-8805-b06ab540a167-1 but this is it's just basically outlining the process for requesting a library 04e82a01-fb33-45ad-8805-b06ab540a167-2 material. 82b9186b-78f1-4066-83df-fa84c26f9e81-0 As a result of this new policy and regulation, they have to update, 82b9186b-78f1-4066-83df-fa84c26f9e81-1 they actually don't have the policy for resource materials. 88fe4d83-78a2-4a8d-8db7-e5bf9bbac427-0 So they have to update the resource materials because now like our materials 88fe4d83-78a2-4a8d-8db7-e5bf9bbac427-1 are considered separate from resource materials. 840a33a1-0aad-47ce-91da-135a77784a01-0 So they just updated that policy. 606c8f9b-d4fb-47cb-81a3-59c5f5619ea7-0 So that's separate and then public complaints as well. 531122a2-7a40-44e4-ab6a-e29758ff0f80-0 We have that policy as well. db0c4732-20f3-4902-94e1-2ba7e560ea30-0 But again, they just send an update that one because db0c4732-20f3-4902-94e1-2ba7e560ea30-1 20 530 is mandated. 1fea5110-07bc-4b86-be23-ee0bd0d3b6e9-0 I think, I believe they changed it to mandate. c31a2974-216e-4247-b42c-412195631ba1-0 It's it's, I looked

046it up, it might say on the policy we have to see c31a2974-216e-4247-b42c-412195631ba1-1 it's mandated. e5ed0fe6-4c00-4e39-b63c-2354c73bf24e-0 This one is mandated, just say recommended on there because e5ed0fe6-4c00-4e39-b63c-2354c73bf24e-1 there was a I'll have to check that. 00cd8038-fd39-4f93-a7da-eaa9d1a1d74b-0 I'm glad you said that because I went, but oh, that one is recommended. 2a12aa41-529b-44eb-b1e9-936ca146dc95-0 OK, I'm glad you just clarified that. 6a80109b-ea04-4fe7-9a95-580f1e91ce67-0 Yes, thank you. 93b688ca-9b54-428a-92b6-d06fab039174-0 Thank you for clarifying that. 77d65d52-9b33-4abe-a4e2-d033a9694032-0 I have to correct that. f676c205-5285-4015-941b-c60d7cf7b32f-0 Other thing for that correction, I was curious how this is effects things f676c205-5285-4015-941b-c60d7cf7b32f-1 like current events, current events, articles and when you go through and how f676c205-5285-4015-941b-c60d7cf7b32f-2 it has to everything has to be, you know, it's a process for approval, f676c205-5285-4015-941b-c60d7cf7b32f-3 which makes sense for books and things like that. ccbf51b1-bb32-4e55-9e32-806f5ea35ad1-0 But when you have current events, how does that end? 2d8f1529-27b2-499e-ae45-961dcc17badf-0 You're

047talking about current events in a class. f5f4065d-6a01-4d9c-9046-0a4bfa25a8f3-0 Yeah. 86718df4-a4a5-478a-8883-de54c083f288-0 So if you put my note down on the resource materials, 86718df4-a4a5-478a-8883-de54c083f288-1 which one textbooks and that each had have a written request from that. 4fe500b6-0db1-4509-bd3f-fbab69caeff1-0 So resource textbooks are different from they're, they're very specific. 28050387-774d-4edb-aae7-ceda25647459-0 The other types of materials they those don't need more approval. 310952d5-ffc1-419f-97ba-04ddf1fc8534-0 What we try to do, though, is in our curriculum, 310952d5-ffc1-419f-97ba-04ddf1fc8534-1 be as transparent as possible in terms of the resources that the teachers are using. 3c95ea82-085c-43e1-9aa5-ba5d11b8772e-0 If there's something new that they're going to use, 3c95ea82-085c-43e1-9aa5-ba5d11b8772e-1 they should really run by the supervisor for that reason. 726086e4-91a0-47b3-9878-be37ee42f1e0-0 But it doesn't actually. 8fcc204a-2eff-4dc2-bd2e-203509f17889-0 Those are the only thing. e27a06ca-fbe5-44ba-a391-769b78d016dc-0 I don't even know if they technically require more approval, e27a06ca-fbe5-44ba-a391-769b78d016dc-1 but those are the only resources that really require more. def18ce0-8cde-425a-84d1-fa7ecb3cafee-0

048The rest of them, I just wanted to clarify. adc9154f-f6ca-4ef6-8d54-5b498418b419-0 When there was a discussion about the summer reading list, adc9154f-f6ca-4ef6-8d54-5b498418b419-1 somehow it got misinterpreted again. dc44a197-8f11-4b73-8b30-c156bc45eb56-0 We were trying to ban some books, which we never were. 1bfec601-dc7b-4759-9fc6-95e7242f5e98-0 My opinion was to look at my my Kindle and then my light started up. 9d518864-a070-406a-abcb-bc61bbdfc161-0 Every day it tells me that it has 10 million books available to base my 9d518864-a070-406a-abcb-bc61bbdfc161-1 electronic reader. 8ed18ea4-998e-42b1-a477-0e0ade8315a0-0 And yet what we were doing that day was trying to select we were not banning or 8ed18ea4-998e-42b1-a477-0e0ade8315a0-1 burning or whatever else the other 9,995, 000 books we were. c92e5e2c-fcc7-4180-8f9f-ef82c8b99e4e-0 So I just wanted to clarify that that we miss this. 8d1a4892-7fe7-476a-8f90-d6674e114dd6-0 This board has never talked about banning books. e2015657-bd85-4a99-ad93-91e00db2ffbd-0 They're on a library show that somebody chooses to read them and it's not to

049read e2015657-bd85-4a99-ad93-91e00db2ffbd-1 them. 96735c03-5597-4544-b81f-ba30de5956a0-0 That is not what that discussion was about. d678f328-749b-438e-afc3-3cb3cd260ccf-0 Was about selecting 10 books for the summer. f63b5e6f-e8b3-4a33-9eea-64797553f86e-0 The library so and so for resource materials, f63b5e6f-e8b3-4a33-9eea-64797553f86e-1 we don't currently have that one pointed out because I'm just double checking it f63b5e6f-e8b3-4a33-9eea-64797553f86e-2 must have been right mandated somewhere, but so we don't have to adopt that one, f63b5e6f-e8b3-4a33-9eea-64797553f86e-3 but we can public complaints we do have and we just need to make some slight f63b5e6f-e8b3-4a33-9eea-64797553f86e-4 revisions. fec8fa9b-ba07-4a7a-894d-0c1900023148-0 That was not mandated, but we have because we have to adjust the fec8fa9b-ba07-4a7a-894d-0c1900023148-1 part so that it clarifies that it's not for library materials. d49a6a05-4548-4dc6-af9d-349858ec529c-0 OK, well if you want to send me your d49a6a05-4548-4dc6-af9d-349858ec529c-1 questions I can see what answers I can get. 47d55332-2559-4476-9521-1e96c972421a-0 I keep I keep hearing, you know, that's we updated and our policy

050that 47d55332-2559-4476-9521-1e96c972421a-1 policies that are not we updated. 9b788070-d3a5-4617-9688-08fe8047b93b-0 Is that our job right to help the administration understand it, 9b788070-d3a5-4617-9688-08fe8047b93b-1 the public understand our policies owners that are on the website. a1dee21c-6154-4c37-b133-7487cae2a2d7-0 So we should have policies on quality. 76bd4ba8-c393-415a-a6ed-ec285a15b74d-0 None. 13d6925e-5de4-49d3-9898-1902668fc57f-0 We have to create policies that are within the guidance of the laws. 0bd58971-565d-4ec4-af9e-f41eb3d7a44c-0 And I'm more concerned about the communication so people can see them, 0bd58971-565d-4ec4-af9e-f41eb3d7a44c-1 so people can understand, so that our administrators of course, 0bd58971-565d-4ec4-af9e-f41eb3d7a44c-2 specifically you said it's more policy and it's actually not our policy and it's 0bd58971-565d-4ec4-af9e-f41eb3d7a44c-3 also. e79f4f35-57c1-47bf-92e7-ddfcdb4f94fe-0 I never said that they were to go further, but we're here to help run the schools e79f4f35-57c1-47bf-92e7-ddfcdb4f94fe-1 better and we do that. e638fcd3-4959-4981-b4bf-5ed72417a55c-0 But I think we're miss focusing on service semantics with respect to this e638fcd3-4959-4981-b4bf-5ed72417a55c-1 session are favorites to

051some extent. 81a7208f-5456-4b16-b8ca-0e9160f8118c-0 And let's please with certain types. d1966f0c-d4d3-4e0f-9cf4-f44d7dd0a5c2-0 Just so you know, there are certain mandated policies that d1966f0c-d4d3-4e0f-9cf4-f44d7dd0a5c2-1 have options within the policies of the policies mandated still up to the board d1966f0c-d4d3-4e0f-9cf4-f44d7dd0a5c2-2 to make certain decisions within the policy. d4c21470-ca0f-4a86-b3ed-18f9f5966e92-0 And they say that that person something like that. 933d552c-e204-43ac-ad41-61f6c87cf3cd-0 And so with respect to these policies that move forward and to lock down an 933d552c-e204-43ac-ad41-61f6c87cf3cd-1 interpretation of something unrelated when we're just wasting time and it's 933d552c-e204-43ac-ad41-61f6c87cf3cd-2 great to hear everyone with each other, but I think that's the feeding the person. aa54762d-401a-4e6b-bc8b-56828b029618-0 Again, my interpretation I'm speaking with that aa54762d-401a-4e6b-bc8b-56828b029618-1 is the Lord's part of the issue such again there's a situation where two of aa54762d-401a-4e6b-bc8b-56828b029618-2 those forces in the business, which is when it appeared that was born aa54762d-401a-4e6b-bc8b-56828b029618-3 versus individual. 25bb3f9e-445f-4f74-a165-712799bbb39f-0 Let's

052stick with what the policy says which, 25bb3f9e-445f-4f74-a165-712799bbb39f-1 which version of the policy are we actually? 73ae0934-67a0-4895-9e04-0232519d35b7-0 So this is a new question, Strauss versus Randolph. 45df5165-87fc-475e-ac76-4cf1a22ae72d-0 I just looked. 4e1f0c1a-5c5f-4998-b43e-b0b90d3a05ab-0 So our court attorney had shared with us another district's version of it, 4e1f0c1a-5c5f-4998-b43e-b0b90d3a05ab-1 which is very close to Strauss, says my version, Strauss, is our policy, 4e1f0c1a-5c5f-4998-b43e-b0b90d3a05ab-2 right? 30a5a2b5-cbc4-482b-b0fc-3aae8e43d0b6-0 Our policy. 75feab30-7ad2-4782-acee-d1265b7611ef-0 It's a lot. 82a90f6e-e171-4424-89f5-f49a8a0b357c-0 Charging and go through with the ethics, it's very narrow in in scope. 46e60ffa-fa62-4e2e-882b-ece9f5e3e805-0 So, you know, just making a defamatory comments about 46e60ffa-fa62-4e2e-882b-ece9f5e3e805-1 other board members, school just or anything like that that's 46e60ffa-fa62-4e2e-882b-ece9f5e3e805-2 actually an ethics violation. 42047778-9fc2-4675-975a-b850bd4a0528-0 But that's something that's board members we should be upholding ourselves to and 42047778-9fc2-4675-975a-b850bd4a0528-1 just as kind of how we sign the ethics every year. 11da6cea-5ff0-4881-b29e-3bd3f5108bda-0 So yeah, we're going to abide

053by this. c807285e-8539-4d47-a8d7-75308bbb0702-0 This is a policy and we're saying we're going to abide by that. 13db53f5-e711-420f-8ac1-5d9b1fce3ba0-0 And I think, you know, I've looked at Randolph and I looked to 13db53f5-e711-420f-8ac1-5d9b1fce3ba0-1 see community members kind of listed there. e244cc6c-c3cc-4ca6-ae8e-7e8298badf5e-0 You don't want to just start to say meet somebody. 99284439-9d07-4d91-b57c-011c23e4db9a-0 And even though you're on the point, you're saying I, 99284439-9d07-4d91-b57c-011c23e4db9a-1 this is my personal opinion, we should be holding ourselves to a 99284439-9d07-4d91-b57c-011c23e4db9a-2 higher standard if some schools go further and include emails and text 99284439-9d07-4d91-b57c-011c23e4db9a-3 messages, But that's more of a private conversation 99284439-9d07-4d91-b57c-011c23e4db9a-4 versus a public conversation. 4c66aa22-e875-4c19-b9e5-ab8946210507-0 But that's what stress has been suggested. 9022b901-3116-46eb-8237-cb67e3e157d6-0 Their definition includes emails and texts, 9022b901-3116-46eb-8237-cb67e3e157d6-1 and one of their prohibitions would prohibit any board member from responding 9022b901-3116-46eb-8237-cb67e3e157d6-2 to any e-mail or issues that they receive about school business.

054c63a1071-e728-4081-a056-3df9dcb5fc98-0 Even to say you should talk to the Superintendent about that. 1c84ddba-910d-4186-b2bf-f6ca4e99acd8-0 The one that stresses me, right? ef340d34-39c2-4fc6-a8a4-2847132e5318-0 It's really hard to know. cc9b0bf5-15be-493b-a427-84bbaa7c9eca-0 That New Jersey statement is boring. de740d51-ed27-4188-96fe-6e532f704f36-0 There's a policy for that statement. 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-0 I mean, I think going to text some emails and 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-1 stuff like that is going to, I think this, I would like the spirit of this to be 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-2 something like, let's say we had a heated debate over 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-3 whatever it was here that one of the board members should not be going on 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-4 Facebook or whatever their social media is and talking about the events that 54c8083d-1539-42ac-beea-e02653e37fc3-5 would happen and their personal opinion. 5b6a7938-4026-40cd-99ad-d2bb0afa79b2-0 I feel like that's like holding ourselves to a higher standard. 58e2f38b-bd2b-45e0-8a57-9fedb4c66bb7-0 Like to me, that wouldn't be appropriate. 58ba5482-1b65-429b-9b21-513cbfd27952-0 You are

055right. 711a7ae5-8620-4b66-a635-4347ff1ef022-0 But if but if you're talking about a specific thing that you were, you know, 711a7ae5-8620-4b66-a635-4347ff1ef022-1 you're you're on the board that's discussing these things. d7a7d156-5433-4fb9-bf36-b6c9a298d468-0 And just like we have our Roberts conduct, that's just my opinion. d24ed94d-01c7-4d7a-8efe-c02693c0d728-0 I'm not saying we should police each other. f67c8d33-1423-4a59-bdc4-cfcf9139083e-0 And I'm just saying, like Heather said, holding ourselves to a spirit, like, f67c8d33-1423-4a59-bdc4-cfcf9139083e-1 I don't know if you can, if there's a way to word anything that f67c8d33-1423-4a59-bdc4-cfcf9139083e-2 could get that spirit across, But that's just. 12336216-d6c4-43dc-9aa8-973350b78621-0 I don't think that's what the policy is. c626ef7e-c8c2-471c-8416-5065b20ad52e-0 Can I ask you some question? 95de0ddf-fad3-420c-89a9-51e777e2e1b6-0 Are there any rules and regulations, laws and how it pertains to what can go 95de0ddf-fad3-420c-89a9-51e777e2e1b6-1 on social media for board members as a whole? f5cee22b-040e-414a-b968-4ef93a648eb7-0 The difficult ethics that we abide by, like what right

056now is not like I would f5cee22b-040e-414a-b968-4ef93a648eb7-1 be in favor of a policy that stipulates what's allowed, what's not allowed, f5cee22b-040e-414a-b968-4ef93a648eb7-2 so that it helps insulate us from violations, right? 772ffda6-a2b4-4b5d-8583-20f57cbfc0b4-0 Or for some. 453ad8c2-ecb4-4fa2-be41-ab707e26a42e-0 So right now, what is in place to make sure that 453ad8c2-ecb4-4fa2-be41-ab707e26a42e-1 everyone doesn't violate by the laws, right? fb221b65-0cf1-46fd-95fd-7f776b08a327-0 So is the policy just reinstating that again? 66db6a1b-b9c8-4941-b322-c391b743749c-0 Would the policy be upholding what our responsibilities are as board members of 66db6a1b-b9c8-4941-b322-c391b743749c-1 what we can and cannot discuss, or how things can be discussed on social 66db6a1b-b9c8-4941-b322-c391b743749c-2 media? 360603ab-fd32-4555-a3f2-370bdc599deb-0 This. 4175657d-bf44-4ecc-b145-8f13b26e2c54-0 It's the cost of things on our website that is, 4175657d-bf44-4ecc-b145-8f13b26e2c54-1 is is our code of acting available. da0115e9-02b9-481e-8cf3-532f671408f1-0 I mean, that's what this is about. 9512ac9d-e8cb-47be-818d-fee1b541d18d-0 we have to uphold our code of social 9512ac9d-e8cb-47be-818d-fee1b541d18d-1 media. ad765df3-736c-46be-99eb-9ce1225d306e-0 You know what we're talking

057about. b7ab9009-8d2a-4430-9779-cf82dc6c14bf-0 But I mean, that's essentially what it is. 6f8cc32d-ead1-4e74-b6ef-e67fc364dfb2-0 It might be helpful for the public to know our code of ethics. e93a1b24-39cf-48d9-8ba2-de6b3847a996-0 It's one paragraph. a3bfef21-a170-435b-a1a8-a18341e430e9-0 We should put it on the website so that we can be held accountable to that code. 2d8c7b49-38fe-4837-9e7a-2936f580ecca-0 I just want to clarify what I said. 1e2ae80b-d2f7-4ca9-b7ca-d5781ad6b3f1-0 It was the third one I didn't like. 67e4e205-a9e1-43d9-a5c9-e1af8b5aafd1-0 Was this policy? 607428fc-4e53-4e4f-b966-3b7c788e53ae-0 I'll see it again. 7bf3834d-9d79-498e-a159-720d42e776d9-0 It's just my subjective. e5aabed0-fa96-4340-8009-caab5b4a9d71-0 You say what you mean. 4fa8f0c0-c30f-4e84-ad89-f4fd749f587e-0 You mean what you say. 7d54740a-e202-404f-96c7-821808e88c50-0 A quick question, answer a quick question. c64c009e-25ec-4630-9187-2506c05e09f5-0 I know if we were camping. f3b40993-f996-4c41-aa7c-9f62f75263b0-0 Yeah. a229611d-f179-41df-972b-3b439bde1d84-0 No, that's OK. 5fce566f-e768-44ad-96a0-3c01e9359607-0 No, I just had a, when we were AQ and a portion, 5fce566f-e768-44ad-96a0-3c01e9359607-1 I guess of what the questions were and what they're asking us to do was

058to be 5fce566f-e768-44ad-96a0-3c01e9359607-2 more transparent to the public, right. b95a48c5-5761-4a78-82fb-d1af30d8787a-0 I think that's also where you're getting at, Michael. 3f794181-a764-42d8-bf4f-74edca215393-0 So I think with a lot of this discussion on policy, 3f794181-a764-42d8-bf4f-74edca215393-1 whether it's mandated or not mandated, I think part of having policies that 3f794181-a764-42d8-bf4f-74edca215393-2 possibly are mandated or to have one place where the public can go to say, 3f794181-a764-42d8-bf4f-74edca215393-3 you know, these are the laws, these are the rules on our website. 6cf8b964-1315-4a0b-a971-6529156dba33-0 It's better communication to the public so that they know what's going on before. a64a5b25-8959-4a38-ad76-fca1f086673d-0 But we have help to rather than having to go ahead and take all the different a64a5b25-8959-4a38-ad76-fca1f086673d-1 websites or maybe the state of New Jersey, at least it it helps put together in one a64a5b25-8959-4a38-ad76-fca1f086673d-2 place with these different policies. e8e6c447-76eb-4d1f-966f-afef965a36e1-0 So I think that's what Michaels trying to

059get a experiment what policies really are e8e6c447-76eb-4d1f-966f-afef965a36e1-1 for so that they say are they guidelines of what they're doing or not. 70cc17ea-e7db-4fe1-89a8-b9c914126f9f-0 I said there's been a lot of discussion about mandated and non mandated policies. 21e4a2ce-ddb6-4229-9bca-18671f00b1a2-0 So, you know, so you know, I think like I said, 21e4a2ce-ddb6-4229-9bca-18671f00b1a2-1 the general public and a lot of the questioning when we were campaigning was 21e4a2ce-ddb6-4229-9bca-18671f00b1a2-2 where can people find out information about what's going on with the board, 21e4a2ce-ddb6-4229-9bca-18671f00b1a2-3 better communication with the public. 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-0 And I think having maybe possibly non mandated policies also on the website, 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-1 some place like a one stop shop where the public can look up and say, OK, 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-2 like here's everything that the board is doing that it's encompassing what the 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-3 policies are, what the laws that we have to follow

060so 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-4 that they don't have to end kick different websites to try and figure it 31128cc1-abb6-4a5b-94e5-8c2f00915a3b-5 out because it's difficult to do as a general public. 42bd4167-cb57-4d6d-9bea-1314d8c4547e-0 We should be making things easier for the public to look at. 1221dcc6-9d9a-4e35-93b0-b1e72d4001b4-0 All this on the website. 86c50377-54af-496b-abb2-bea87796fccb-0 I don't know exactly. 65964844-ab76-4e9b-89a1-9e61f48bc0d2-0 You know, we're talking about whether or not to 65964844-ab76-4e9b-89a1-9e61f48bc0d2-1 have policies that are mandated or not mandated. e31839e7-4074-4a08-9005-aa6d39b7ea0e-0 So if you have not mandated mandated anymore, e31839e7-4074-4a08-9005-aa6d39b7ea0e-1 But if we're talking about having a policy and putting a policy into place e31839e7-4074-4a08-9005-aa6d39b7ea0e-2 that's not mandated, do we do that or not? 64ed5904-6b2d-483a-b337-1b7c92844170-0 Do we do that or not? ce2a2471-f067-4a26-b811-d981e4df1611-0 Social media, do they do that or not? 77ef8782-bbcb-4c5f-85e6-70ab52d9d324-0 The transgender policy, that's what I'm just talking about, 77ef8782-bbcb-4c5f-85e6-70ab52d9d324-1 is we can opt to have policies that are

061not mandated to help clarify for the 77ef8782-bbcb-4c5f-85e6-70ab52d9d324-2 general public and for ourselves about certain topics. 8d0c87f3-cd73-4a0b-b770-1fa65201e9db-0 I get frustrated with some of the policies as well. a874eb46-0d29-4c44-acf3-f44de7a64dbb-0 However, it's very helpful to have the policy to a874eb46-0d29-4c44-acf3-f44de7a64dbb-1 point to when we're talking to parents, we're talking to community members just a874eb46-0d29-4c44-acf3-f44de7a64dbb-2 because for them, they're not going to go through the New a874eb46-0d29-4c44-acf3-f44de7a64dbb-3 Jersey Administrative Code or they're very unlikely to do that. f4f0108b-0a0a-4fd6-99ee-2b1774211243-0 But we have a policy that points to it as well as regulation that companies speaks f4f0108b-0a0a-4fd6-99ee-2b1774211243-1 to the context of our district. 599651ea-9ba7-4907-896c-6c7b2e0cae50-0 I think that's why we have the policies when we know it already says in the law. bbc4652a-b740-4a5f-a6ed-2868db2eef02-0 That's why we have, you know, a lot of the policies that we purchase in bbc4652a-b740-4a5f-a6ed-2868db2eef02-1 the law. 17e0f7c2-38ef-4f85-8945-3d7f6ba518c7-0 It's just a more

062user friendly format for the community, 17e0f7c2-38ef-4f85-8945-3d7f6ba518c7-1 the policies because whether we used to have this conversation, you know, 17e0f7c2-38ef-4f85-8945-3d7f6ba518c7-2 with Peter all the time about the policies and why we're going to do 17e0f7c2-38ef-4f85-8945-3d7f6ba518c7-3 something here. 42fd2013-63be-409a-9c15-99e3d8d02b06-0 And so we have to have mandated policies. f3e12cc5-0830-444b-9749-d954fb3a19b8-0 But why if literally some of the policies you read the law, you read the policy. bc29f461-b4d0-4f51-8d89-dfb79da00e64-0 It's almost to be a verbatim, but the fact that it's in our policy bc29f461-b4d0-4f51-8d89-dfb79da00e64-1 manual easily accessible on our website, but in our a lot of them are referenced bc29f461-b4d0-4f51-8d89-dfb79da00e64-2 in our handbook isn't having to go and search through New Jersey statute or bc29f461-b4d0-4f51-8d89-dfb79da00e64-3 administrative code. e242019e-a77d-4147-8849-b285c7aefdc2-0 It makes a big difference, including the district. 08b4fa64-5345-4625-a28b-50fbecd64145-0 I don't think that's what you were just saying. 194b72f2-7a41-435b-8353-9560d26b0b06-0 That's why it's. 3b2b7e2a-3c94-4ace-bda1-b4047085248b-0 None. 0f919fe4-fbd2-4308-94e6-34a0900a15b0-0 Just look

063at this model policy numerous occasions, 0f919fe4-fbd2-4308-94e6-34a0900a15b0-1 since this policy prevents a more education member from social network, 0f919fe4-fbd2-4308-94e6-34a0900a15b0-2 while this policy respects the right of foreign members to use such social 0f919fe4-fbd2-4308-94e6-34a0900a15b0-3 network or members to a higher standard than the general public. 2a6763b4-a3c6-47af-9f45-057ce9514421-0 If we want to. 9443f6c3-1abe-4163-b7aa-39bcb780ae07-0 That's some reason this is the moment. 100de8c9-9467-4f1f-bce8-7741e2abfd61-0 If the two people say that, some majority say we should have some 100de8c9-9467-4f1f-bce8-7741e2abfd61-1 sort of office like that, but it's worth the craft. bda8b1ff-6615-4e08-817a-7c870f53eef7-0 That's the point of this discussion. fb1db081-f139-48f7-8447-c72cdd8c751b-0 Again, this is more discussion. d66ccc6b-3cbf-49f7-882c-b23c513c99b5-0 No actions being taken since they began to. 74ff23c9-76f9-4b2b-9a59-1fca849d3407-0 That's the purpose of this. 223d3c57-0d85-420b-aee6-508955ccac3e-0 It's again a sense. a274e511-6068-46da-8d91-36991e2bec84-0 That was the reason why I created so we can have a sense versus where four or a274e511-6068-46da-8d91-36991e2bec84-1 five people say like a waste

064of time. cc2c2594-17ca-416e-a5f2-ff51a0bd9b6b-0 So I just felt it was better. 493e9cfa-675b-4602-8c1d-5f743021ff57-0 And a lot of the conversation, I respect the conversation. 4c30d5a2-1249-41ee-9f72-abab65e259d9-0 I respect there much more than we only think it's very healthy discussion. 2fa86d58-81ac-40fa-a1de-44b42a6a1580-0 And again, at no point I think anyone's right or 2fa86d58-81ac-40fa-a1de-44b42a6a1580-1 anyone's that's right or necessary. 897b9624-a307-43fa-b48c-af4008e242a1-0 I respect the and they're all very good and they're all very valid, 897b9624-a307-43fa-b48c-af4008e242a1-1 and it's just how you come to. 9d895501-ce37-4c24-9bb9-1f5a76f105cf-0 So you know, obviously we're all upholding the ethics, 9d895501-ce37-4c24-9bb9-1f5a76f105cf-1 but the big thing is a different series just more than person standards and 9d895501-ce37-4c24-9bb9-1f5a76f105cf-2 defamatory comments. 34db7558-dd1d-40ad-8f54-86540102fe82-0 So right now if I was to go on one of the community forums and start talking about 34db7558-dd1d-40ad-8f54-86540102fe82-1 Michael and his bow ties and how he talks and does all of this and I start being

06534db7558-dd1d-40ad-8f54-86540102fe82-2 saving him, not so. 577c4ac4-aaa7-40bb-8234-560f497065e4-0 Yeah. 014d329b-ffbd-41cd-adea-6469815e426f-0 And I start and I just it's relentless and people are defending him and I just 014d329b-ffbd-41cd-adea-6469815e426f-1 keep going after and making comments about that. 368c40b2-64ce-4945-9001-a8a5be576912-0 What is there as I'm criticizing him or anybody else in the community or students 368c40b2-64ce-4945-9001-a8a5be576912-1 I didn't wait to play and how horrible it was going on and on and on. 2cab42f4-98e7-435f-8054-72fe8023416d-0 What is the policy right now against or that is basically disparaging school 2cab42f4-98e7-435f-8054-72fe8023416d-1 students or anything like that? c581a899-080a-4c71-ba24-2f727bee5c04-0 So what if it's if it's just regular? 98b017fa-8f42-4eee-81ba-33c5351678aa-0 What if it's regular citizens? 83e7ffa1-e628-43e6-9c14-e54e83ff8a76-0 Like let's say it's it's someone that can't no, let's say it's well, 83e7ffa1-e628-43e6-9c14-e54e83ff8a76-1 this applies to and their families or their families. 529a9691-f030-4400-bb12-d522fa517f60-0 So I right. 5b1f8c43-4959-41d9-8b1d-0989653596a1-0 So if I start going after someone that's that's potential

066important and I start 5b1f8c43-4959-41d9-8b1d-0989653596a1-1 kind of. 78e019c1-a642-4f79-811e-5a806db4c43c-0 So let's say I did that. 37819e1a-7fc6-450e-b4e9-e583eb771861-0 So let's say I did that normally, then it would be basically what's here 37819e1a-7fc6-450e-b4e9-e583eb771861-1 stop and anybody really that's this is just reinforcing already. 7675a831-1cc0-4f80-b352-c0fa627a2055-0 Well, actually it lists 8 unlucky 3 and 1. 1101f54d-cc03-45f9-91ce-cf8e835033fc-0 And it says when you see social networks, board members are advised to. a7f018ac-a654-4c5f-959b-538043e629c3-0 And then it lists about 8 things that you're not supposed to do. 6fadc1d3-1525-46b0-bd5f-c93e055584e9-0 And then it says board members shall comply with all the board policies 6fadc1d3-1525-46b0-bd5f-c93e055584e9-1 regarding acceptable use of computers. dedfbed1-6e7b-4eb3-843d-d438e3fe0a58-0 And then if the board or Superintendent believes a board member's activity on any dedfbed1-6e7b-4eb3-843d-d438e3fe0a58-1 social network may violate the board's policies or the New Jersey School Ethics dedfbed1-6e7b-4eb3-843d-d438e3fe0a58-2 Act, the board or Superintendent may request dedfbed1-6e7b-4eb3-843d-d438e3fe0a58-3 the board members see

067such activity. 50ea9ef4-6fa7-4841-a4f0-7aaff20e3dbf-0 That's so if the board votes that what you're doing violates the rules. b3dfd2eb-17cc-4fbc-90ec-17b10b225e82-0 Right, So she may request that you see that's I b3dfd2eb-17cc-4fbc-90ec-17b10b225e82-1 don't see it right now. 09473873-d741-4b2d-98a2-809f37a6b527-0 I would call the board president and say this might be a problem, you know, 09473873-d741-4b2d-98a2-809f37a6b527-1 because I don't, I don't usually govern. c2e3c3ee-0d1c-49f1-b6cb-5ea2d1202402-0 If I see something that might be an issue, that's where I go to the board president c2e3c3ee-0d1c-49f1-b6cb-5ea2d1202402-1 so that he can address. 45f1e6e5-e2f7-4b75-b287-c2ba08ad3b20-0 I. 410af15e-ad8e-4553-aaa9-d20480561942-0 Yeah. 48637f24-d563-4ad7-b526-65939fddf04d-0 I do think everyone's preference is. 7a820a45-db13-4ca0-b118-f67578deb036-0 I mean even the. 32810feb-13b7-4b4d-bde4-93bc8f2f79ac-0 The next item of reporting session, as they mentioned that they have expanded 32810feb-13b7-4b4d-bde4-93bc8f2f79ac-1 an ad hoc committee with all ruling not to do what was necessary to get us to a 32810feb-13b7-4b4d-bde4-93bc8f2f79ac-2 point or a final. 7662312e-33d2-4bed-b42b-e27c6fd12fd1-0 The final document was

068presented to us, presented to the public. 5b8c5cb9-a34b-4453-9d70-6d10c73a7492-0 I believe that it has been done. e33c4a19-ca63-4685-9e2a-8b7f0dfa3f60-0 At this point, it's with the report, It was discussion with respect to the e33c4a19-ca63-4685-9e2a-8b7f0dfa3f60-1 report, but everyone said to discuss the report, e33c4a19-ca63-4685-9e2a-8b7f0dfa3f60-2 the writers of other report correctly. 7a650d5b-9892-4f6f-b912-973a592a2b65-0 None. 0e40ea08-e0d5-44bd-8ebc-d3bebb16a587-0 I guess some of us were more about some of us, but as well, 0e40ea08-e0d5-44bd-8ebc-d3bebb16a587-1 that's the 1st order of business. 920b736c-9afb-4c6b-84f1-b877fa0686d8-0 Whether or not a couple of people would it be better for us to be any specific 920b736c-9afb-4c6b-84f1-b877fa0686d8-1 question, you know, give them a list of specific questions 920b736c-9afb-4c6b-84f1-b877fa0686d8-2 instead of just asking random questions. 896f67c6-4e59-434a-98d1-4b12517e23e3-0 You know, they've already kind of gone over and it 896f67c6-4e59-434a-98d1-4b12517e23e3-1 seems like we should make it more purposeful, 896f67c6-4e59-434a-98d1-4b12517e23e3-2 like because of the whole purpose of this, are we going to act

069on any of these 896f67c6-4e59-434a-98d1-4b12517e23e3-3 suggestions or, you know, do we want further information if we're 896f67c6-4e59-434a-98d1-4b12517e23e3-4 going to act on any of these? f512b370-6bc0-4f06-bcf9-07fa059f6173-0 None thorough it's video tapes suggestion that we have. 5158587c-5e9c-456f-898c-d9a317de0d8f-0 As already said, you guys have already taken some of that 5158587c-5e9c-456f-898c-d9a317de0d8f-1 feedback and are looking at it. e2904305-138c-4a5e-a7ae-369db4f0dcc9-0 So it's a question or a discussion of our levels to like what what areas do we want e2904305-138c-4a5e-a7ae-369db4f0dcc9-1 us to look at and then how how do we work with key gates as to where we success. 24f84384-3388-4606-9911-351066202f7d-0 Kathy's point out like ridiculously, we have a well coming and levels and what 24f84384-3388-4606-9911-351066202f7d-1 do we need to do? 146bf841-ee89-433d-a52f-8da4fc106f6b-0 I think it needs to be. 4a64f731-807d-4dc4-a984-52e458e851f8-0 I like that. 0f0062fb-9896-41e4-8f40-a5c0bdbab8a1-0 So we we actually did have a discussion about this at our regional route will

070be 0f0062fb-9896-41e4-8f40-a5c0bdbab8a1-1 on Friday. a6c10ce9-1bc4-4c9e-895c-127ad1991dfe-0 That's where the five super times of the districts meet once a month. 8fc1501b-962d-43ee-bb33-473ba4639030-0 And the articulation piece was a key piece of it. 7ccc964c-53c8-458b-84a9-fb4542d28d87-0 What I've been doing is it doesn't seem like anyone does it really well in the 7ccc964c-53c8-458b-84a9-fb4542d28d87-1 state. 76c698f6-2c1c-4d5a-b8a9-acee134ae0cc-0 I've been reaching out to different regional some of them were kind of well 76c698f6-2c1c-4d5a-b8a9-acee134ae0cc-1 within his personnel changes in the different districts that he wants of a 76c698f6-2c1c-4d5a-b8a9-acee134ae0cc-2 priority. cf29fe76-2a0f-45d5-bf2a-0a5d57d41728-0 So nobody seems to have. 91d3c242-1095-46f3-ac8a-f38bec9504ec-0 I was hoping somebody would tell me do it this way this this works really well. e55673ed-ae42-4b12-9ff1-4fc037c9082e-0 But the five of us had a really good conversation about, you know, e55673ed-ae42-4b12-9ff1-4fc037c9082e-1 we have some stronger articulation and the coordination, e55673ed-ae42-4b12-9ff1-4fc037c9082e-2 the vertical coordination is one thing, but it's really the coordination across e55673ed-ae42-4b12-9ff1-4fc037c9082e-3 the

071floor that would help destroy this thing. b83f8cb0-985f-49f8-ab5c-60588169a251-0 Because if all the students are coming in at the same point, even if you know, b83f8cb0-985f-49f8-ab5c-60588169a251-1 there's going, there's always going to be. 03898cb4-2b06-4a2f-81f6-50a14c8bf43c-0 And they're going to be different here based on, you know, 03898cb4-2b06-4a2f-81f6-50a14c8bf43c-1 the context of each year and the different strengths of the students. 67fc7636-35a6-4c6b-be7f-cfaa969c0cc4-0 But at least if they were all on a level playing field coming in and we knew what 67fc7636-35a6-4c6b-be7f-cfaa969c0cc4-1 that was across the four districts, you know, 67fc7636-35a6-4c6b-be7f-cfaa969c0cc4-2 that would be a lot easier for them transitioning to the high school. 2a118f3b-29a9-4be3-b502-fe5bbd122b1b-0 So I had a very good conversation about we were actually shared some resources 2a118f3b-29a9-4be3-b502-fe5bbd122b1b-1 from some of the regional districts that being consulted for our strategic plan 2a118f3b-29a9-4be3-b502-fe5bbd122b1b-2 for other islands. a85c70ad-ec45-4f41-99fa-0134128464e0-0 When you start connecting with other people,

072plan purposes, a85c70ad-ec45-4f41-99fa-0134128464e0-1 we actually want to visit and look at their academic program last week. 32492f00-cfeb-45df-bb1e-6fa1903d2db0-0 And there's also about their articulation. 1e1674ce-e6e6-456e-8098-edc6c61d7cb2-0 He shared with me some of the documents that they're starting to develop for six 1e1674ce-e6e6-456e-8098-edc6c61d7cb2-1 through 12 articulation. 15235a83-3c3c-4c01-9e46-b3eaf2ffc7c7-0 So I shared those with four Zooms, and we're going to look at that and see, 15235a83-3c3c-4c01-9e46-b3eaf2ffc7c7-1 you know what, we can come up with something that is 15235a83-3c3c-4c01-9e46-b3eaf2ffc7c7-2 something that absolutely we really need strength. 633d856a-857b-40ab-8840-43f1fd4685e8-0 Yep. 68132282-37f1-4e8d-8a42-381f559d84b9-0 So that is, you know, so that's one of the things we're 68132282-37f1-4e8d-8a42-381f559d84b9-1 certainly looking at. 5a1bd7c7-2e43-41ba-9e9e-fbca8ee2389d-0 We also talked about our special directors, 5a1bd7c7-2e43-41ba-9e9e-fbca8ee2389d-1 actually a really nice job of articulating superintendents meeting, 5a1bd7c7-2e43-41ba-9e9e-fbca8ee2389d-2 actually having special directors so we can talk about some. c7af6e97-7eae-4bd2-87e4-8ae2e70c4ff4-0 So we've been taking things from the report to say, look

073at, you know, c7af6e97-7eae-4bd2-87e4-8ae2e70c4ff4-1 the realization piece is just a whole. dd412c35-2f1f-4426-b824-f69652a47a68-0 I just don't think that's, it's very obvious for the communities dd412c35-2f1f-4426-b824-f69652a47a68-1 that that's not a vote that they have support. c25085bd-fdb4-4af0-9530-2556fdf98438-0 So that's why I want to focus on what can we do for better coordination rather than, c25085bd-fdb4-4af0-9530-2556fdf98438-1 you know, yeah, the visualization piece has more into c25085bd-fdb4-4af0-9530-2556fdf98438-2 sharing services. 53578f3a-1689-48db-99bf-6ba757a05df2-0 So, you know, other ways that we can help make it 53578f3a-1689-48db-99bf-6ba757a05df2-1 structure better and also ways that we can perhaps which we know we have, 53578f3a-1689-48db-99bf-6ba757a05df2-2 which registrants out of the state Mr. 0590f48d-1213-41c6-a57d-24afea5d452a-0 Scientific range over like 3 years of really trying to find opportunities for 0590f48d-1213-41c6-a57d-24afea5d452a-1 that, you know, so that's what we've been. 6e121c09-aac2-4a69-bd4b-446933ff46d9-0 We can certainly have more discussions around that as well. d0d26d9c-8dac-4659-9c6a-c0176de7fb14-0 We started discussing about five years

074ago point plus the spell that was the d0d26d9c-8dac-4659-9c6a-c0176de7fb14-1 smell and we kept using that term. 51d47ef4-c968-4aa2-930a-699c290d006e-0 That's going to turn off a lot of people. 3f92b63b-03e4-48e8-b198-4cbc1ce9ea31-0 So we really have to focus as well on shared services. d0636df2-6e3c-442a-a159-4cb908f30ea2-0 We better bring everyone together and see where we can benefit. 6ec2e3c1-e18a-4be8-be3e-9ef3e8152232-0 So as far as the record is concerned and that it's worthwhile academic exercise 6ec2e3c1-e18a-4be8-be3e-9ef3e8152232-1 without great information as far as. 08e4a003-1597-474d-90ed-2edb9ba73580-0 None. 87759eca-f240-4c54-ac75-c40de8dbc9d9-0 It's not about us, it's not about them, but almost about the students. b95d45f8-fb08-4dd9-ba3d-8e2ee638684d-0 What's going on? d233459b-b4fd-465a-a58a-f5c27c624202-0 That's not really what this is about. b69676b0-3533-4ec4-ad25-4cc296837ea5-0 So as far as the next steps are concerned, I would just like to discuss whether or b69676b0-3533-4ec4-ad25-4cc296837ea5-1 not I think we benefited and we got a free report. 03ce9c0e-e028-42b5-8990-38f73c6589c8-0 I learned a great deal that we just move

075forward. c60ca701-e4c9-4ac8-9e69-536ccb0d4de5-0 I mean, I don't have a problem with just moving c60ca701-e4c9-4ac8-9e69-536ccb0d4de5-1 forward as much as I look forward. 3a103c6b-929c-4c27-86b2-24e045280bfd-0 This is maybe go against it. bb228f88-c1a1-4466-8597-61ffd8a03e93-0 I think I just don't see it as the corner or realize that. 4b20e37f-aba8-4966-b208-2c550fbc69f6-0 But the new governor coming in is very poor regionalization. 2adc848f-a931-4df4-ae80-b1c18ce81ee6-0 And they really want excitement of this article here because I sent you to our 2adc848f-a931-4df4-ae80-b1c18ce81ee6-1 mayor maybe 70 or 80. 584e15b0-bf95-43fd-b2a4-d73dd6f83fe8-0 So even though I know most of our towns do not want to regionalize, 584e15b0-bf95-43fd-b2a4-d73dd6f83fe8-1 I still think that we have to in some ways kind of we talked about it before. 2d07b673-5c6e-4c80-ad5d-8802bd8c65fd-0 We just forced him to invite friends and telling us you have employees if we don't 2d07b673-5c6e-4c80-ad5d-8802bd8c65fd-1 somehow, you know, get ahead of him. e256ea6a-6d38-4be7-8a8e-bb1d48263101-0 I mean, in Florida, I think it's

076county districts, e256ea6a-6d38-4be7-8a8e-bb1d48263101-1 just however, in our counties, counties, the district and I think certainly in New e256ea6a-6d38-4be7-8a8e-bb1d48263101-2 Jersey, again, that's been a discussion. a50f80c5-4681-4b68-920d-0c9f109253e9-0 I know that New Jersey, the number of years whether it's a50f80c5-4681-4b68-920d-0c9f109253e9-1 municipalities or school districts or that. 866a8208-a49c-45bb-9292-61ca7b5cf1a3-0 And again, if you're looking back from down 700 to 866a8208-a49c-45bb-9292-61ca7b5cf1a3-1 70, but it's only 21 counts theoretically 866a8208-a49c-45bb-9292-61ca7b5cf1a3-2 going to 21 school districts and then is that going to happen? 4544b0e7-9ab4-426d-a833-8fd158b60148-0 Again, if you look at the financial benefits 4544b0e7-9ab4-426d-a833-8fd158b60148-1 there are some are not saying there aren't any money. 044093f8-136e-42ba-b130-722d81ce9d14-0 At the end of the day, the number of students divide it all meet 044093f8-136e-42ba-b130-722d81ce9d14-1 those teachers. 714bfb45-62cf-4155-9d60-ae59059bcb11-0 So save money, simple, get rid of the students, 714bfb45-62cf-4155-9d60-ae59059bcb11-1 but don't just keep we're going to save money, but administrative box savings. 06483df7-64ef-47ab-892a-f1d691f7db01-0 My personal

077duties are French ideas. 12822706-2f36-4788-a64f-e76ada76a93b-0 I don't think we want to have the information. 90e0bbc2-41a3-4304-a4c5-235f9458b476-0 So if we have to try to get ahead of it, we have the information to go. 7c8de8e0-e210-4826-812c-944135de68a2-0 So I think the best way to get ahead of the best way is to get. 2a395637-5419-4c13-aece-22fdb0a9de9c-0 It's that point we have maybe incorporate, I don't know, 2a395637-5419-4c13-aece-22fdb0a9de9c-1 on a quarterly basis or something, something that gives us a sense that 2a395637-5419-4c13-aece-22fdb0a9de9c-2 where it's going, it gives the public a sense of what we 2a395637-5419-4c13-aece-22fdb0a9de9c-3 actually took out of that report and that works if we want. 2c8db0d8-4bec-40ff-8607-261da3562a13-0 What I do too is that they have a separate document that was 2c8db0d8-4bec-40ff-8607-261da3562a13-1 recommendations. 61af76c7-473d-488a-bddf-bd58fb2c1b4d-0 We can go through those and perhaps highlight the ones that were looking at 61af76c7-473d-488a-bddf-bd58fb2c1b4d-1 right now prioritizing so that way that we

078can revisit those and some of them 61af76c7-473d-488a-bddf-bd58fb2c1b4d-2 might be financial, some of them educational. 8924e2f9-642b-4c14-8e77-eb85d4bb9e23-0 But then what I'll say with all of this, we are in a good spot because part of the 8924e2f9-642b-4c14-8e77-eb85d4bb9e23-1 reason I would always push you to regionalize is all 5 districts are very 8924e2f9-642b-4c14-8e77-eb85d4bb9e23-2 big districts. 6a9e9af4-2c95-4236-8070-bc9913776e57-0 It's not that, you know, somebody's in a failing district and 6a9e9af4-2c95-4236-8070-bc9913776e57-1 they're like, oh, we can combine and go to this great high 6a9e9af4-2c95-4236-8070-bc9913776e57-2 school or go to the all 5 districts are very good. b3cc8999-6130-4d7c-8fc9-9c55d1e4d6b9-0 The issues that were five different districts and so we have 5 different b3cc8999-6130-4d7c-8fc9-9c55d1e4d6b9-1 administrations and five different parts of education. c97473aa-977d-46c7-8a5c-07be0c61ed58-0 We are working to look different. dc81391c-e839-44be-acd7-9f471af239c6-0 So if we can get on the same page with that, that will help us a lot. 26ff4c10-cf00-4b58-94e8-9d192b5ddbdb-0 But you

079know, again, we are we're in a better position at most 26ff4c10-cf00-4b58-94e8-9d192b5ddbdb-1 because even there are five different districts or all 5 very good districts 26ff4c10-cf00-4b58-94e8-9d192b5ddbdb-2 are very high performing districts. df1cf177-e7a1-431b-ac14-c7e9442149ff-0 So that's much easier to work with other situations you can have of all those df1cf177-e7a1-431b-ac14-c7e9442149ff-1 other. 90431b7a-c0e0-409b-8b7b-7ca54294307e-0 The. e243eb78-0885-4616-b291-29b45cdd810c-0 Yes. 4308f952-de4f-4016-84a3-bbfc2e787cfa-0 Yes. f283bcd5-b144-4067-abc0-0c4a0e7ec2ff-0 Mr. b9e5c161-2bb8-465f-9bd3-0f1d4feb95ff-0 Second, I'm sorry, I apologize for this question. a9f81901-39c2-48b7-b9b3-974bd577a7d8-0 Mr. da6cc6a4-b824-410f-904c-a01425674d85-0 Decker, Mr. 1443b88e-cbeb-444e-9434-0cbec393bfde-0 Gallagher, Mr. 73ec2dff-9c2a-43dc-a39e-a7f671bd8f4e-0 Any other business? 73f29d84-42f5-40db-9881-767bab5a9d91-0 It's a surprise. eefe74d3-1e4e-400b-8fb7-4916ea876f38-0 So what happens is we'll reach out to the chair of the committee to schedule a time eefe74d3-1e4e-400b-8fb7-4916ea876f38-1 and then you'll get you'll get e-mail invitation to go up absolutely with what eefe74d3-1e4e-400b-8fb7-4916ea876f38-2 we try to do. f26268f0-3e21-497e-8724-fc06d213fbad-0 And then usually at the first committee meeting, f26268f0-3e21-497e-8724-fc06d213fbad-1 we kind of check with everyone on the committee what

080works best. b5fbf72a-db15-4324-accb-959489ea7daf-0 Some committees before the morning, some early afternoons, b5fbf72a-db15-4324-accb-959489ea7daf-1 but we do it based on the.
