001We'll go ahead and call this meeting to order. >> This is the regular meeting for Thursday, September 18th, 2025, 5:30 p.m. at the EMTT Shockley Administration Building. Mr. Mr. Cole, could you call roll, please? >> Sir. >> Mrs. Cameron, >> present. >> Mrs. PZ, >> present. >> Mrs. Crumbley, >> present. >> Mr. Rusco, >> present. >> Mr. Croll, present. >> Pledge of allegiance. >> I allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I salute the flag of the state of New Mexico to the assembly of friendship among United States. >> All right. On to approval of agenda. Looks like there's one change. The out of state travel that's going to be stricken item D 8D.
002Is that my understanding? >> Uh yes, m Mr. President, we need to uh strike item uh HD off the agenda. The unfortunately the students didn't have enough cadetses that were able to attend. >> Okay. >> All right. Uh with that, I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda. >> I move. >> I'll second. >> Mr. Croll. >> Mrs. Cameron? >> Yes. >> Mrs. PZ? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Kremley? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rosco? >> Yes. >> Mr. Crow? Yes. All right, put that on to any Demi. >> Thank you, ma'am. [Music] On to superintendent reports and updates. M, if you could bring up the update uh slideshow here. These are uh items that are just ongoing in our meeting. So, Charles, if you can go to that, let's get you going there. There we go.
003All right. Uh remember we want to keep an eye on our trends regarding um our enrollment. Enrollment is tied to funding. Just a reminder, those are the reporting days there. It's the average of the 80th and 120th enrollment that's most closely associated with funding. Technically membership is the actual number on and 120th that NPD PED uses, which is slightly different than um than enrollment, right? It's kind of minus the uh prek kids that are not special education and and a few other factors. So um you know typically they're pretty close to align but uh again we just want to keep a line on the trend. Next slide Charles uh this is just a change from our last meeting in some quick graphic form here. Uh you can see um overall in the district um we
004since our last time we met there's been 53 um new enrollments which is good. Um again uh as Miss Croll has stated for us uh looking like we're going to be kind of a flat enrollment. uh we'll really take a look on the 40th day uh kind of our first reporting period which is the 8th of October uh and we'll we should get some preliminary um 40th day numbers uh hopefully by the uh next schoolboard meeting. So I just want to share that with you. Next slide please. And again always keep an eye on kinder enrollment because that's where the the future uh of the district uh lies with new kids coming in. Again districtwide a total of eight new kinder since last time. Again not uh not a great increase. Uh and then we'll
005kind of see what it looks on the 40th day. So any clarifying questions about the enrollment or more information that you need next time. Okay. Uh human resources. This is the again what we looked at last time. Uh if you click on the bottom tab there, Charles, for um let's look at September. So we can remember what we saw in September. Again, as of September, there were 160 new um uh employees in the district. Uh it was 30 U positions that were open again of the teacher numbers there that were listed. Um I'm sorry this is this month. My apologies. Go back to August. We're I'm already in October. Can't I can't get that far. There were 146 new employees in August. 23 positions were open uh in August. And now go to September. Charles
006again. Now we're up to 160 new employees. 30 open positions. of those open positions, uh, scroll up a little, Charles, so I can see the headings. Uh, there's 14 teachers. Of those 14 teachers, six are, uh, special education. I know member Crumbly had asked last time, hey, how many of those are served by long-term substitutes? Of the 14 open positions, uh, we do have, I gave you a little sheet here. This shows you of those um of those 14 positions, these uh seven these seven you see here are covered by a constant long-term sub. Uh the other six uh there's not a long-term sub that had been available to be there every day. So, it's um rotated. So, we'll try to bring you that information um each month. Okay. >> You're welcome. Any clarifying questions
007about uh HR? Any additional information you'd like me to include in the next meeting? That concludes uh my uh updates for this meeting. Okay. President. >> Okay. On to public comment. Do we have anything? >> We do not have any. Mr. President, >> with that on to consent agenda and I'll entertain a motion. >> Move that we approve the consent agenda as listed. >> A second. >> Mr. Croll. >> Yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron? >> Yes. >> Mrs. PZ? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rosco? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley? >> Yes. Mr. Croll. Yes. >> Okay. That on to discussion items. There's none. >> Hey, Mr. President. None this evening. >> Okay. >> On to action items. Consideration to approve budget adjustments. >> Uh Mr. President, to help us with these as always, we have Mr.
008Mad. >> Uh Mr. President, members of the board, superintendent, uh we have several uh bars to uh for your consideration tonight. Um the first one, number six, which was in your packet, is for title one. We're moving uh from supplies uh to some professional development. The second one is also title one. Uh we're moving from salaries to supplies. So, one of the bars that you guys approved for us uh had a lot of things in supplies because correspondence we had gotten from PED had some other of our grants in question and so we put some title one money in in salaries to make sure we recovered for that. Since then, we have gotten those uh those awards and so we've we're able to move that uh that money over to supplies instead of keeping it
009in salaries. Um number eight is our idea B. Uh we're moving it some from PD to cover salaries. Uh that is stipens for uh homebound uh some people that are helping us with our homebound uh students. Uh number nine uh is prek. Uh we're moving from supplies to u benefits. Uh, one of the things we were able to do last year was to take our custodian that is at my little school which is only for prek and we're able to allocate their salary directly to this grant instead of operational uh taking that and so we did that towards the end of last year and it did not get part put in as part of the initial budget for this. So that's what that's moving for. Okay. Um number 10 is um we originally had done
010an initial budget for this one putting it all in salaries. Uh when it got submitted to PED uh they said that they wanted they needed some additional information or wanted it allocated differently. So we are now doing it in salaries and benefits because they're going to be some tutoring and some additional support for those uh those individuals. Uh number 11 is uh basically some carryover from last year uh that we're uh being going to be able to spend this year. Uh number 12 on the enterprise fund that is what we had that daycare uh in prior years. And so what we're putting here is the final payment from the state plus uh those individuals that were working there uh were full-time 240day uh individuals. So they acrewed annual leave. Whenever they got moved from the
011240 to a different position, they lost that annual leave. So when we did the payout for them, so that's what those uh those salaries are for that. Um the next two, the universal lunch and the rural and low-income uh schools, those are just adjusting down to the final awards. Um because we we initially planned on with the with the planning award, but now they're giving us the the final. >> Any questions about the board? >> No. If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> I still approve the budget adjustment request as we have been presented tonight. >> Mr. Sorry, I'll second that. Mr. Curl, >> yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron, >> yes. >> Mrs. PZ, >> yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley, >> yes. >> Mr. Rosco, >> yes. >> Mr. Crow, yes. >> Okay. Thank you, Mr.
012Eko. On to consideration to approve Deming Caesar Chavez High Charter High School provisional annual report. Uh, Mr. President, to help us this evening, we have Mrs. Sam Gonzalez. There she is. Okay, there's Miss Sam Gonzalez. She gonna know Well, I was gonna say they left. Uh, Miss Sam Gonzalez and the team from uh from from uh um Deian Sor Charter High School. Um, Miss Gonzalez is as you see on the on the slide here is uh is we are required as a school as a school district as the authorizer to um you know perform a monitoring and and compliance uh for the charter school. Um it does require annual sites visits. We have been using um Miss Sam Gonzalez in the past to assist us with this. Um I met with her um learned about
013all the services she can provide. So as part of the compliance, she's going to share with you a little bit about um the uh annual report. The reason why it's called a provisional annual report is that it is uh to no fault of anybody. It's pending the New Mexico Vista's achievement scores that go in the report. The PED not has not released those yet, but we do need to approve this this evening. Uh consider approval for a provisional annual report and then once those VISTA scores are put in there, the report will be complete and you'll see it again. Same thing just with those new Vista scores for a final uh report. So, uh Miss Gonzalez, hi >> President and member of members of the board. My name is Samantha Gonzalez and I have been
014working with Deb Chavez for the past almost year I'd say um to get their annual monitoring underway and I believe the report that we've actually produced a report for you to review. Um on April 8th I conducted a site visit um to review all the um indicators outlined in the school's performance framework. Um then also several members uh several members of the team from Deming administrative offices to confirm um whether or not the school was in compliance in terms of financial reporting. Um and then a few other subindicators um that are tucked into what we call um indicator 3C which is basically outlines are they in compliance with everything that PED asks of them in terms of are you doing your dash timely? Um are you meeting NOVA reporting deadlines? Um and so on and
015so forth and all of that information is um available to you in that report. Um would you mind open can we open it? >> Oh yay. Thanks March. And so we've compiled a bunch of information. There's a lot of just you know facts at the front. Um we're just going down to the indicator ratings from these. Thank you very much. So there's some academic data in their review. I just want to point out that because the school is a high school, their vistas only captures their how their tutors perform. And so when the school negotiated its contract, um they opted to use interim assessment data so that they're capturing grades 9 through 12. And so it's just a wider breath of um you know, data points for you to to review. However, the school did
016not test all of the students outlined in its um contract and these are some areas where you know hopefully this is an ongoing conversation because there so here so basically it doesn't outline grades that they're supposed to test. What it basically says is they will use an interim assessment and test all students. Normally on an interim assessment, it's grades 9 through 11, but because the performance framework is a contract document, you have to be very careful. If it says all, it means all. And so these are areas um you know, now that we're in this process of annual monitoring, it is at one point maybe something we'd like for you to consider an amendment to their contract. That's something we can talk about later. Um, you know, for example, another piece that we notice is
017that we're measuring their interim assessments, but if we look at indicator 1C, we're using NN Vistas for their participation rate. So, we're looking at whether or not students are making growth targets on one assessment, but then we're capturing participation on another. So, there's just some things we'd like for you to maybe consider at some point um in terms of cleanup. so that the performance framework is better aligned um with what the school is doing. I'm personally very proud of what they've accomplished this year. We've made really big strides in terms of how they're capturing data, how they're organizing their data, um how they're you utilizing data to then report back to their board. Um and so I will stop and if you have any questions for me, I'm happy to answer them. >> I had
018a question, please. Um, I was reviewing the report and I saw that there were ratings for these mission specific goals, but when I looked at the mission specific goals somewhere in this report, numbers one and two were exactly the same. So, I wasn't sure if that was a typo. >> That could have very well have been a typo because they're very different. one is capturing seniors and then the other one is capturing grades 9 through 11. So if that is something that I missed then I apologize and I'll capture that. I did put the trackers into the folder. I don't know if you if you have access >> we just got this report. >> Oh okay. Gotcha. And so um I did provide the trackers the granular data for the 9th and through 11th and
019then seniors um are there but since thank heavens this is a provisional report I'm happy to make them >> and and to member Kremly to your point here I used some AI to help me summarize some things here and to your point it says goal one here more than or equal greater than or equal to five one of goal one in the mission results right uh greater than or equal to Five credits earned by 9th through 11th graders that result was 65%. Then of course it says here description of the second one same as goal one right that that must even AI too >> um that must mean 12th grade and so >> okay >> greater greater or than or equal to uh five credits earned uh 87% for the seniors. So, if I'm want
020to interpret this here for you, uh they're supposed to have a 70% threshold of more kids earning more than five credits or equal to five credits. The the met that mission goal and the um underassmen did not meet that mission goal. However, they were only short by 5%. So, uh that uh that's what I wanted to share relative to that. Okay. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you. Any other questions by the board? I >> I just want to say uh uh before you consider action on provisional report uh I want to uh thank Samales uh and Mr. Nunes and his team uh I did learn in in coming to this position um there's a breath of services in this contract for monitoring uh that Miss Gonzalez can offer uh that in the
021past we may not have taken full advantage of. And so, uh, it is our intention this year to make sure, um, we, uh, use her her skills and resources and technical assistance, um, to greater effect, uh, to make sure, you know, our, you know, um, our, you know, that we're meeting what we're supposed to be doing and most importantly that, um, the charter school is being successful to meet the needs of those kids that are there. So, just wanted to share that. Thank you, Mr. President. >> Any other questions or comments by the board? If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> I make a motion to approve the Deming Cedar Caesar Chavez Charter High School provisional annual report. >> I'll second that. Mr. Croll? >> Yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron? >> Yes. >> Mrs. PZ?
022>> Yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rosco? >> Yes. >> Mr. Crow? Yes. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> Thank you, Mal. On to item C. Consideration to approve quote from CES vendor Coyote Cabling for security system upgrades for Columbus Elementary. Uh for this item, Miss Stafer is going to um help us. This is as you know um upgrading our security systems and and and cameras and all that stuff is an ongoing project. Uh and so Miss Stafford has given you a summary here and uh I'll let her begin. >> Yes. Um, President Rosco, members of board, Superintendent Wilman, we are ready to completely replace the security system at Columbus and get all brand new cameras and video recorders data stored. So, I got a quote from Coyote Cadling. They're a CES vendor. And
023if you have any questions, I'm I'm here to answer. Any questions by the board? Pretty standard stuff. If not, I'll entertain a motion. I'll move to approve the quote from CES vendor Kabling for security system upgrades for Columbus Elementary in the amount of $99,6772. >> We'll second Mr. Croll. >> Yes, sir. Mrs. Mrs. Cameron. >> Yes. >> Mrs. PZ. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rosco. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley. >> Yes. >> Mr. K. Yes. >> Thank you. >> Hear that? >> And now to consideration to approve annual preventative maintenance plan for 2025 2026. >> Skip. >> What did I? >> Yes. >> I'm sorry. >> Consideration to approve quote from CES vendor Four Rivers, Inc. for multiuse playfield at Columbus Elementary. >> Mr. President, again, we have uh Miss Stafford for this. again, she's going
024to go over this, but this is just a replacement of the worn out playfield at Columbus, and so we want to make sure we keep that up to date. So, Miss Stuffer, >> yes, I got a couple of different quotes. Um, this is also a CES contract price. The the field will be a Shaw system, similar, same manufacturer as the softball field installed a couple years ago. Um, so they're they're a licensed registered veteran and I'm here to answer any questions you may have. >> Any questions by the board? >> If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> Is this Excuse me. Is this a new field or is it a replacement? >> So, where is it located? So there's Columbus and then there's the playground and then there's a it's elevated then there's the play
025field. >> Oh, okay. I guess I haven't seen it. >> It looks like a wall behind the jungle gyms when we go down there and we have the dinner and we can see the jungle gyms. It looks like there's a that's actually a field up. >> Oh, okay. >> 16 years old. So it's >> Mr. President, I would approve move we approve the Folk CES vendor with Incorporated for multi-use playfield at Columbus Elementary in the amount of $526,26549. >> I'll second that. Mr. Crow, >> yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron, >> yes. >> Mrs. PZ, >> yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley, >> yes. >> Mr. Rosco, >> yes. >> Mr. Crow, yes. >> Thank you for your support. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Now on to item E. Since you guys didn't let me a little
026while ago, >> um consideration to approve the annual pre preventative maintenance plan for 2025 2026. U Mr. Dwart is going to help us with this. This is a very extensive plan he has to put together, but I think a couple of key it's really a large compliance piece. I think these two big uh bullets that we have here uh kind of summarize uh the importance of this report. Um but I'll let Mr. Aldiarte share anything um additional that he may have regarding this. >> Uh president board, members of the board, superintendent Wagamood. So um pretty standard stuff. Didn't have much to add since my tenure is real short still. Um I did update some some goals we had. um uh updated some of our as builds that are in there and uh everything will be
027in red that has been added and hopefully next year's permanent maintenance plan we'll have more of my stuff implemented. >> So I stand for any questions you may have questions by the board. If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll move that we consent consideration to approve the annual preventive maintenance plan for 2025 2026. >> I'll second. >> Mr. Croll, sir. Mrs. Cameron, >> yes. >> Mrs. PZ, >> yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley, >> yes. >> Mr. Rosco, >> yes. Mr. Crowley, yes. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> Item F, consideration to approve memorandum of understanding between Zing public schools and help New Mexico head start for the 2025 2026 school year. Uh, this is an ongoing. I'm going to ask Miss Winnie to come up to answer any questions because this is really her
028area of expertise. she did provide you uh you know with these with these key bullets here and typically uh correct me if I'm wrong Amber this really supports uh is it 4 Y and 3 Y or >> it's Y the 3 Y so um Miss Wy anything you want to clarify or add >> no it's just an ongoing we've had and when the students transition on their third birthday we uh they help support us in finding spots to provide our students um their needed the uh accommodations and uh support that they need in the classrooms. So we have um a classroom at head uh RST a head start classroom and then we also have a classroom at TLC and we have one that can uh we can put students in at FRC. So, um, ancillary
029staff go there and provide the student support, but we provide one EA and the Head Start provides the other EA and teacher. >> Could you say again where the Head Start? I didn't quite there was one. >> Um, there's one at RST. We have one at our seat and then we have one at fieldc and one at >> just any other questions. >> I was just going to make a comment that historically we've had a very good relationships with the head starts and I'm glad to see that that continues. Um it benefits all of the children the especially the little ones. >> Yes. Any other questions or comments? If none, I'll entertain a motion. >> I make a motion that we um consider the approval of the memorandum of understanding between Benny Public Schools and
030Hope New Mexico Head Start for 2526 school year. >> I'll second that. Mr. Croll. >> Yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron? >> Yes. >> Mrs. PZ? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley? Yes. >> Mr. Wils? >> Yes. >> Mr. Croll? Yes. All right. Thank you, ma'am. On item G, consideration to adopt revision of board policy CB one, evaluation of superintendent. Uh, Mr. President, uh, this is a policy that was brought forth to you all last time. uh uh a suggestion of um uh legal counsel to make sure we had all the the proper uh timelines and everything updated and some additional items uh from the local school board so we could move forward with my evaluation. I think this is on two slides Charles I think the next one has kind of some of the significant changes
031there. uh note that when you approve this policy of course it's the second read of the we did this last time we did say seven calendar days here would be um where I would uh get to you um to make sure we we had a copy of my evaluation. So um we'll move to this one and then of course our our next one has to do with the u template and the goals for myself. This is just adjusting the policy first. Any questions, comments by the board? If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> Consideration to adopt revision to the board policy CBI evaluation of superintendent. >> A second. >> Mr. Croll. >> Yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron? >> Yes. >> Mrs. P? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rosco? >> Yes. Mrs. Kremley? >> Yes. >> Mr.
032Croll? Yes. Right. On to item H. Consideration to accept the superintendent evaluation template recommended to the board by the temporary committee for superintendent evaluation. >> Uh thank you, Mr. President. Um on be uh I'll begin this on behalf of Miss Cromley and Miss uh PZ and they can add in. So when when uh this uh uh they put this committee together to make this evaluation um uh we kind of had the the the the rod goals and the scoring template along with some individual action items on one um sheet. We really felt it was important I think in discussion with the the ladies here they asked for feedback from me that we kind of split that up. That way you have an evaluation template that is kind of uh very standard that you can use
033from year to year uh you know with any superintendent and then annually we come together and do a separate set of goals and actions relative to the super evaluation and those can change annually. That way you're not having to mess with the template every year. You're just uh messing uh we're just working together as a team to develop the actions and goals. So uh this is the template. I can let um the the committee uh speak more about the template itself, but I wanted you to know we had split those up into two spots. So, I'll let um Vice President Crumbley and member PZ add anything additional. >> So, when it comes to the template, um we liked the um where it says efficiency, highly efficiency, and the way it describes it or the descriptors
034as opposed to some other ones that we saw. So I feel like this one gives us a little bit more um clarity as to as to um effective I need effective developing um instead of just like a number system one two three or four >> this is coming >> um I think that the goals speak for themselves um as far as Miss PZ and I really took a lot of time um discussing amongst each other what we felt was important um overall. So these five goals are are written pretty broadly. Um and then the attachment that we'll discuss includes more specific things that are measurable um for Mr. Wolmth's first year. I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to do this. I know it was a it was a pretty heavy
035lift and um taking time out of your your busy schedules. >> Really do appreciate that. >> I feel like um we had a better understanding of what we needed to do maybe from past attempts that didn't go as well. So um and then we got a lot of input. So that was nice having input from the attorney and then um just us looking at it, discussing it. I feel like it's a pretty good um place to start. So, um, I'm excited about it. I feel like the wording is is well worded also. So, >> if you guys see anything that you feel needs to change or or just let us know and we can put it in there, too. >> Okay. >> Any other questions or comments by the >> If not, I'll entertain a
036motion. I will move that we accept the superintendent evaluation template recommended to the board by the temporary committee for superintendent evaluation. >> I'll second >> Mr. C. >> Yes, sir. Mrs. Cameron, >> yes. >> Mrs. PZ, >> yes. >> Mrs. Cromley, >> yes. >> Mr. Rosco, >> yes. >> Mr. Croians. Right. Thank you. on to item I, consideration to accept the 2020 2026 superintendent actions and goals for superintendent evaluation recommended to the board by the temporary committee for superintendent evaluation. Again, um I'll I'll lead this off and let member PZ and and Vice President Crommy speak to this. So, uh these were the measurable actions that were kind of on the template, but we split them out separately uh because we can revisit these annually um as needs. I I do want to I do
037want to say that uh I appreciate uh you know the the board members are working on this and and on behalf of the whole board really I'm wanting to sit down with me as superintendent and get some feedback on on you know uh were these appropriate goals too broad uh too specific um in the right you know in the right lane of things we need to be working on and and I really appreciate that and uh very you know very happy that uh what was presented to me was um a great framework uh for me as superintendent to operate and really identifying what some of those uh some of those goals are. So again, when you look at this, they are arranged by those same five goals. Um I'm just going to kind of ask
038Charles to scroll through them just that way you can skim through them one more time. Um go back to the top, Charles, and I'll just kind of do a quick summary very top. So again, uh the one is about all the academics. So anything about academics um are listed here in in board goal uh one uh from uh general academic improvement to attendance to improve graduation um and review of special education and of course requiring some reports. Again I think these academic ones set a framework right this first year we got to set a framework uh before we uh set a solid plan excuse me. Uh number two is about um you know fiscal uh management of the district. Uh again um I think that uh these are pretty self-explanatory. Uh some of our our
039largest cost of the district is always um personnel. So we want to make sure that everything is uh well staffed um and that we're expending that money um you know to the taxpayer uh benefit and it benefits um our students. Goal area three. Uh these are again supervisory skills. Um again making sure we delegate. Uh me as superintendent, right? Being responsible ultimately for the decisions made here um in the district, being out there with the principles and evaluating the principles and maintaining high visibility in our schools and community. Excuse me. Uh goal four, making sure we have a strong relationship as a as a team. Uh the school board and the superintendent are a team of of six. And when the team of six um uh can can row together, we can really meet these
040goals. And so uh these indicators um are are identifying what's important to you um as a board and our relationship as a team of six. Number five, Charles, I think it's our last one. And then of course, student health and safety. Again, we had some discussions about that already. Um I I sense a great desire from this on you all receiving um information and reporting um and then starting um uh um a you know you know we're already doing this but continue to build upon some district-wide seal practices. So those are the five goals. I thought those are very fair and you know on behalf of uh you know on behalf of the district I appreciate the collaboration and um I'll work hard uh with the team here to make sure we can um accomplish
041these uh on behalf of of the community. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. I don't know that I just wanted to make sure and shared that >> that covered it uh fully. I don't I don't have anything else to add. I think the document speaks for itself. I just want to thank you guys again. I know that like I said earlier, just echo the same thing again, but I know it's it was a lot of work and thank you guys for for getting on top of this and and meeting. I really do appreciate that. Um, any other questions or comments? If not, I'll entertain a motion. I'll move to accept the 20 2526 superintendent action and goals for superintendent evaluation recommended to the board by the temporary committee for superintendent evaluation. >> I'll second >>
042Mr. Croll. >> Yes, sir. >> Mrs. Cameron, >> yes. >> Mrs. PZ, >> yes. >> Mr. Orosco, >> yes. >> Mrs. Crumbley, >> yes. >> Mr. Cro, >> thank you. On to item J, consideration to adopt amendments to policy J I IH, student interrogations, searches, and arrests. >> Uh, Mr. President, thank you. This is just a you we discussed this in our last meeting. A very brief policy update here to allow us to um use a universal um screening, right? U AI weapons detection. Remember, we got this uh from a a policy that was written already. Uh we sent this to the lawyers. They had no uh concern with this. So the only addition that you'll see here is in blue and it's just saying that a un universal uniform screening of all students in
043their belongings by authorized searchers may be conducted using weapons detection system at school entrances. An alert by the weapon detection system will serve as reasonable suspicion for individualized search. So the most important thing to remember with students in schools um we have to have individualized reasonable suspicion to search and that's just indicating that that that the screener will do that. So, um, we're going to approve this policy and, you know, administratively we're working on proceeding forward, um, you know, on all those safety things that we discussed in a previous board meeting. >> Any questions by the board?
