001STAFF THAT REPRESENT A VARIETY OF CULTURES. THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT SO MANY CULTURES AND FAMILIES, WHICH I AM GRATEFUL FOR. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME. [ APPLAUSE ] NOW WE HAVE ARCHIE. HELLO, MY NAME IS ARCHIE REYNOLDS AND I'M AN EIGHTH GRADER. I'VE BEEN ON AN IEP SINCE EIGHTH GRADE AND RELY HAPPENING HEAVILY ON THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY IN PLACE AT MY SCHOOL. FOR ME HAVING A LEARNING SUPPORT TEACHER WHO MANAGES TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME SO THAT IT MAKES SENSE HAS HELPED ME NAVIGATE SCHOOL. WHILE I REALLY ENJOY CLASS, SOMETIMES I MAY MISS KEY PARTS OF WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT OR I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND AN ASSIGNMENT PROPERLY. THAT IS WHY MY LEARNING SCORE SPECIALIST COMES IN. I'VE MADE A SHORT LIST OF THINGS THAT MY LEARNING SCORE TEACHER HAS
002HELPED ME WITH. NUMBER ONE, ENSURING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE COMPLETE AND HOMERED STARTED. NUMBER TWO, EXTRA TIME FOR TESTS AND NUMBER THREE EXPLAINING DIFFICULT--. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS , LEARNING SCORES GAVE ME SPECIFIC SCHEDULE-- TOOLS I USE ON A DAILY BASIS. I BECOME MORE CONFIDENT ADVOCATING MYSELF AND NOT BEING AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP AS I TRANSITION INTO HIGH SCHOOL IT IS A RELIEF TO KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE THE SAME SUPPORT SYSTEM AS I BELIEVE I WILL NEED THIS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AS CLASSES BECOME MORE CHALLENGING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [ APPLAUSE ] HI, I AM LIZ HE HAD SHOT. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT STUDENTS IN CLASSROOMS. I MOVED HERE FROM ENGLAND IN THE SECOND GRADE. WHEN I MOVED TO THE US
003AND INTO LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A CHANGE. BY SEVENTH GRADE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSLEXIA AND ADHD. WE MADE A PLAN BUT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANT AND WHAT HE GAVE ME ACCESS TO. DURING MY FRESHMAN YEAR IT WAS A STRUGGLE. IN MY SOPHOMORE YEAR I WAS ENROLLED INTO STUDENT SKILLS AND I SAW MY GRADES IMPROVED. WE LOOKED OVER MY AVAILABLE OPTIONS THAT COULD HELP ME XL INCLUDING 504 AND ASC CLASS IN MY JUNIOR YEAR. NOW I'M A JUNIOR AND MY GRADES ARE THE BEST THEY'VE EVER BEEN. TEST SCORES HAVE IMPROVED AND SO HAVE I. I CURRENTLY HAVE A GPA OF 3.5, SOMETHING I DIDN'T THINK WAS ACHIEVABLE. ASC HAS NOT JUST HELPED ME AND OTHERS ACADEMICALLY BUT MENTALLY, TOO. THE STRESS AND FRUSTRATION , I FOUND MYSELF FEELING ISOLATED. I WOULD
004OPEN UP MY HOMEWORK AND JUST CRY. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORK AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START. I BEGAN FALLING BEHIND. WITH THE HELP OF ASC AND THE TEACHERS, I HAD THAT OUTLET. THEY DON'T JUST CARE ABOUT GRADES, THEY CARE ABOUT EACH STUDENT INDIVIDUALLY. YOU FEEL THE LOVE AND CARE THEY HAVE FOR EVERYONE AS SOON AS YOU INTO THE CLASSROOM. A GREAT EVERYONE WITH A WARM SMILE ON THEIR FACE. DURING EXTRA STRESSFUL TIMES I FOUND MYSELF SITTING DOWN WITH MS. DAVIS AND TALKING ABOUT IT AND ESPECIALLY MAKING MY WORRY LIST, THAT WAS THE BEST THING. THIS FELT LIKE SOMEONE CAN UNDERSTAND ME AND ACTUALLY WANTED TO LISTEN AND HELP . I FELT EXCEPTED AND LESS LIKE A BURDEN IN THE CLASSROOM. IN THE LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT IT TALKS ABOUT ACHIEVING EQUITABLE
005AND ACADEMIC OUTCOMES DEFINED AS, EACH AND EVERY STUDENT IS THE PROVIDED THE SUPPORT AND EXPERIENCE THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. ASC IS THE PLATE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. ASC TEACHES US THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS THAT HELP US BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE ORGANIZATION, PLANNING, INITIATION AND MUCH MORE. THEY GET PEOPLE TOGETHER TO HELP WITH THE WORK AND ALSO ADVOCATE FOR EACH AND EVERY STUDENT. WITHOUT THE HELP OF ASC, I AM 100% SURE I WOULD NOT BE ACHIEVING THE GRADES I CURRENTLY AM. I THINK THE TEAM AND THE LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR HAVING ASC AND FEEL SORRY FOR OTHER STUDENTS THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS TAKEN AWAY. [ APPLAUSE ] HI. MY NAME IS MEGAN AND I AM A JUNIOR AT LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS ASKED TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAM AND BENEFITS
006FOR OUR LEARNING BUT TO ME THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SO MUCH MORE THAN AN EXTRA HELP CLASS. I CAME TO LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL AS A FRESHMAN HAVING NEVER BEEN TO PUBLIC SCHOOL BEFORE. I WAS NOT USED TO CLASS SIZES, HUNDREDS OF KIDS IN CLASS OPTIONS AND ESPECIALLY THE LACK OF ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION GIVEN TO MY TEACHERS. THIS CHANGE IN SPECIALIZED ATTENTION WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES. I HAD A HARD TIME LEARNING THE SAME WAY AS OTHERS WHICH MADE ME FEEL I WAS FALLING BEHIND WITH MY CLASSMATES AND COULD NOT KEEP UP. I DIDN'T THINK I HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LEARN NEW THINGS. I LATER LEARNED THE WAY I WAS THINKING WAS CALLED FIXED MINDSET. THE DEFINITELY DEFINITION IS, THE BELIEF THAT INTELLIGENCE TALENT AND ABILITIES ARE STATIC TRAITS THAT CANNOT BE APPROVED OR DEVELOPED.
007IN SIMPLE TERMS WHAT YOU KNOW YOU KNOW AND WHAT YOU DON'T YOU DON'T FRESHMAN YEAR I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT OF MY LEARNING STRUGGLES. IF YOU HAVE ALERT OF THE TERM --HEARD OF THE TERM DON'T WORRY I HAVEN'T EITHER. THIS CALCULUS IS A FORM OF DYSLEXIA WHICH HAS TO DO WITH NUMBERS. I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING HEAVILY AND I DID NOT GROW UP IN A SCHOOL WERE LEARNING ISSUES WERE COMMENTS OF THIS MADE ME FEEL EVEN MORE OUT OF PLACE AND SCARED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SOPHOMORE YEAR MY COUNSELOR RECOMMENDED ASC . LITTLE DID I KNOW THIS WOULD BE MY GREATEST ACADEMIC DISCOVERY. THE FIRST TIME I STEPPED FOOT IN THE CLASSROOM I WAS GREETED BY THREE WOMEN WHO I KNOW AS MISS MILLER, MS. DAVIS AND MISS--. YOU KNOW THEY ARE THE MOST
008SELFLESS HARD-WORKING AND KIND HUMAN BEINGS WHO STRIVE EVERY DAY TO HELP EVERY KID IN NEED. THEY'VE WELCOMED ME TO THIS PROGRAM WITH OPEN ARMS TO A JUDGMENT FREE SPACE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT ENTIRELY ACCEPTED. ASC IS NOT JUST STUDY HALL OR ASSIGNMENT WORK PERIOD. IT WILL WORK ONE-ON-ONE AND NOT JUST FROM THESE WONDERFUL TEACHERS BUT ALSO APPEARS ALONGSIDE YOU IN CLASS. JUST BECAUSE WE STRUGGLE WITH SCHOOL DID NOT MEAN WE AREN'T CAPABLE OF HELPING EACH OTHER. MS. DAVIS TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING . WE LEARNED MANY TRICKS AND METHODS ON HOW TO BETTER STUDY PRACTICE AND RETAIN INFORMATION, AND MY FAVORITE LESSON OF ALL IS ABOUT MISS MILLER HERSELF WHICH IS HOW TO CORRECTLY USE A PLANNER TO CREATE GOOD ORGANIZATION AND PLANNING HABITS. THIS CLASS IS THE ONE I
009LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY DAY AND I PLAN TO BECOME AN ACADEMIC MENTOR SO I CAN HELP OTHER KIDS WHO STRUGGLE WITH LEARNING JUST LIKE ME. THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER IS THE ONE SPACE IN SCHOOL I FELT SAFE AND HEARD IN ALWAYS. THIS CLASS IS CHANGED MY LIFE IN MANY WAYS AND I WANT TO THANK THE TEACHERS FOR SHOWING UP EVERY DAY, WORKING HARD FOR EACH SPECIFIC KID AND LISTENING TO ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS EVEN THOSE NOT IN THE PROGRAM. NO MATTER WHO YOU WERE THESE AMAZING WOMEN WERE ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. THE IMPACT IS NOT ONE THAT ALL WILL FEEL BUT HAS IMPACTED SO MANY STUDENTS ESPECIALLY ME. I AM MORE CONFIDENT IN A CLASSROOM SETTING, I STAY ORGANIZED AND FOCUSED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I LEARN HOW TO WORK AND HELP OTHERS SO THEY CAN
010SUCCEED, TOO. THE FUTURE OF ASC IS BRIGHT IN FOR YEARS TO COME ONE THING THAT IS SURE IS THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE A PLACE THEY CAN BE THEMSELVES ENTIRELY, FEEL CONFIDENCE AND PRIDE THEMSELVES IN THEIR WORK AND LEARN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACADEMICS AND LIFE. IF YOU TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS, PLEASE LET IT BE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS A LIFELINE FOR SOME PROGRAMS WHO FELT THEY WERE SINKING ALL ALONE. EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CLASS WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE LEARNING AND HAVE A TEACHER WHO UNDERSTANDS. ASC PULLED ME BACK TO SERVICE AND KEPT ME AFLOAT AND FOR THAT I AM FOREVER THANKFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [ APPLAUSE ] AS WE TALK ABOUT ALL THIS TIME , WE'VE GOT STUDENTS ALL THE WAY FROM FIRST
011GRADE TO JUNIORS AND THE ACADEMIC JOURNEY THEY ARE ON AN AS WE ALWAYS SAY EVERYONE IS ON A DIFFERENT JOURNEY AND WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE DOING SO WELL AND THAT WE CAN SUPPORT YOU. I JUST THINK IT'S AWESOME THAT YOU GUYS ALL SHARED YOUR STORIED WITH US--STORIES WITH US AND THAT IS THE FUEL THAT I THINK KEEPS US GOING AND FUELS OUR DESIRE TO BE HERE AND SERVE IN THIS WAY. INCREDIBLE STORIES. SO HAPPY TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAS TO --HAD TO SAY. THANK YOU. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED TO HEAR ABOUT THE STORIES OF YOUR CLASS . I ACTUALLY COULDN'T BELIEVE I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD THIS YEAR JUST RECENTLY AND SO IT DOES MAKE ME WONDER IF I HAD A CLASS LIKE THAT, IF THAT WOULD HAVE REALLY HELPED ME AND ESPECIALLY
012HEARING THE DETAILS OF THE HELP THAT YOU ARE GETTING. I THINK EVERY KID SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE ASC IF THEY NEED IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. IT'S A VERY GOOD PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. I AGAIN WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR TELLING YOUR STORIES. IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND ALSO REALLY REWARDING TO SEE ALL THE STAFF AND TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE SO MOVED AND SO OBVIOUSLY INVESTING IN WANTING YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AND DO YOUR BEST. REALLY EXCITING FOR ALL OF US. I WANTED TO ASK THE PALISADES KIDS, YOU TALKED ABOUT, YOU LIKE SOCIAL STUDIES NOW. ARE YOU LEARNING THAT IN SPANISH OR ENGLISH? I'M LEARNING THAT IN SPANISH. I HAD A SIMILAR QUESTION. I WAS CURIOUS WHICH CLASSES YOU HAVE AS A
013FIFTH GRADER, WHICH YOU HAVE AN SPANISH IN WHICH YOU HAVE IN ENGLISH. I HAVE MATH IN SPANISH, I HAVE READING IN SPANISH, WHAT DO I HAVE IN ENGLISH? SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. WELL SCIENCE, WHICH IS OFF. WE DO SOME IN SPANISH AND SOME IN ENGLISH . SOCIAL STUDIES IS IN ENGLISH, THOUGH . THAT'S GREAT . THAT'S AMAZING. THANKS FOR SHARING. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR THE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES FROM OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS TO OUR OLDEST , AND JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR BOLDNESS AND YOUR ELOQUENCE. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EASY TO COME HERE AND SHARE THE STORIES, SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH. IT REALLY, REALLY AS WAS MENTIONED BY MY BOARD COLLEAGUES, REAFFIRMS WHY WE ARE
014HERE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE AMAZING EDUCATORS WHO SUPPORTED YOU, AS WELL. [ APPLAUSE ] WELL THAT WAS AMAZING. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 3.0, COMMENTS FROM PATRONS. AND WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP FOR IN PERSON TESTIMONY. BEN ADAMS, A PARENT REGARDING THE LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CELL TOWER. AND HE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY WRITTEN TESTIMONY FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING. BOARD, I APPRECIATE THE TIME. I LOVE THAT 1790 RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL BASECOAT BASEBALL FIELD WHERE THERE IS A CELL TOWER 100' FROM OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. WE'VE GOT SOME TESTING COMING UP I UNDERSTAND TO SEE HOW MUCH OUR FAMILY IS GETTING BUT I WANTED TO BRING A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST FOR YOUR THOUGHTS. SOME STUDIES THAT I FOUND ABOUT OTHER
015PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME SITUATION AND ABOUT--IN GENERAL. IN 2011 THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CLASSIFIED RF EXPOSURE IS A CARCINOGEN WHICH IS THE SAME AS LEAD IN DIESEL EXHAUST GOING ON NEAR OUR HOUSE . STUDIED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORKGROUP FOUND THAT EXPOSURE AT THE SEC LIMIT LEVEL IS FROM 1996 AND THEIR STUDY WAS THAT IT WAS 20 - 40 TIMES HIGHER THAN WHAT CURRENT STUDIES AND DOCTORS RECOMMEND FOR EXPOSURE. ANOTHER ONE WAS THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM WHICH FOUND CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT SUSTAINED RF EXPOSURE WAS A CANCER-CAUSING AGENT AND CHILDREN, AND THIS WAS THE ONE MOST INTERESTING TO ME, YOUNG CHILDREN EXPOSED OVER A LONG DURATION OF TIME AT A YOUNG AGE WERE MANY TIMES HIGHER AT RISK FACTOR FOR DIABETES AND CERTAIN LEARNING DISABILITIES. I HAVE FIVE KIDS THAT ARE ALL BASICALLY ELEMENTARY AGE EXCEPT
016FOR MY MIDDLE SCHOOLER . SO A LOT OF THESE STUDIES ARE DONE WITH SOME LIMITED TIME EXPOSURE. WE ARE 24 HOURS A DAY. SO KEEP IN MIND AS WE GET THE DATA BACK FROM THE READINGS THAT A LOT OF THESE STUDIES, AND I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, I HAVE SO MANY OF THESE. WE CAN DO THIS UNTIL THERE'S A WHOLE NEW BOARD HERE. BUT THE LONG-RANGE EXPOSURE IS THE REALLY CONCERNING PART IS A LOT OF THE STUDIES ARE SHORT-TERM. THIS IS WHERE WE SLEEP . SO WE ARE GETTING AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS A DAY IN BED WITH THAT COMING RIGHT INTO OUR HOME. I WANTED TO KEEP THAT CONSIDERATION. YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHEN IF ANYBODY WANTS TO GIVE A WINK ABOUT, IS THE TESTING COMING NEXT WEEK? NEXT MONTH? ANYBODY? NOTHING. WE KNOW
017NOTHING YET. GREAT. I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THE CURRENT RF LEVELS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH I AM SURE WE ALL TRUST TELLING US FOR OUR SAFETY, IT'S LIKE SAYING IT'S A 600 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAY. NOWHERE DO THEY ALLOW THAT LEVEL SO WHEN WE LOOK AT STUDIES IT'S JUST FOR THE UNITED STATES. THERE'S A TON MORE FROM EUROPE WITH ALL THESE KINDS OF THINGS. AS WE APPROACH THAT TESTING ON THAT STADIUM THIS IS WHAT THE DATA THAT I AM GETTING, PEER REVIEWS. I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING SOMETHING THAT --I WANTED TO BRING SOMETHING WE CAN STAND ON. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 4.0 WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA . I WILL TAKE A MOTION . SO
018MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED . THANK YOU DIRECTORS. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? I. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 5.0, COMMENTS FROM STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES TO THE BOARD AND WE ARE GOING TO GO TO AGENDA ITEM 5.1. WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND FOR YOUR CLUB. DO YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE CLUB YOU ARE A PART OF? YES, SO PERIOD CLUB AT LEAST THIS
021CHAPTER, OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO --EQUITY AND BASICALLY EDUCATE PEOPLE ON -- ACTUALLY WE GOT A LOT OF NOISE TO JOIN. BUT IT'S TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE -- PROCESS AND THE INEQUITY THAT THE UNITED STATES FACES. ONE OF OUR MAIN AND NOT NECESSARILY ACTIVITIES BUT ONE OF THE GOALS IS WE PUT POSTERS AROUND, AND WE OFFER AND NHS OUR AND WE PUT PADS AND TAMPONS AND BAGS AND -- FOR WOMEN LESS FORTUNATE. WE ALSO WORK TO REDUCE STIGMA WHERE WE HAVE INFORMATION WHERE OUR MEMBERS CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT MENSTRUAL INEQUITY AND POVERTY ISSUES AND JUST, WE HAVE A LOT OF GUYS THIS YEAR WHICH WE HAVE NOT HAD IN THE PAST SO WE'RE DOING GREAT TO REDUCE STIGMA. THAT'S WONDERFUL. >> I THINK THAT'S AWESOME PARTICULARLY THE REDUCING STIGMA PART. I THINK THAT IS
022SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND I'M THRILLED YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE GUYS TO JOIN THE CLUB. CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS YOU GUYS HAVE DONE TO COMBAT STIGMA? I THINK OFTEN TIMES IN CLUBS WE ARE SORT OF IN AN ECHO CHAMBER AND ALREADY TALKING TO THE WILLING. WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO TO EXTEND THAT REACH AND GO BEYOND MEMBERS OF YOUR CLUB AND GET MORE BOYS INTO IT? WE PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THE CLUB PROMOTIONS THAT OUR SCHOOL OFFERS, AND ALSO HAVE INFORMATIONAL POSTERS IN SCHOOL. OTHERWISE IT'S KIND OF HARD TO REACH PEOPLE THAT AREN'T IN THE CLUB BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE UNWILLING TO RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION, IN A SENSE. BUT WE ALSO WITH THE PRODUCTS DRIVE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DO SEEM TO DONATE WHICH I THINK MAKES IT SO
023THAT PEOPLE ARE MORE WILLING TO BE OPEN . THAT'S AWESOME, THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK IT'S A REALLY NOBLE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. AGAIN I WISH I WOULD'VE HAD THAT WHAT I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT WOULD HAVE HELPED MY GENERATION OF WOMEN AND MEN. IT'S BOTH. AND I THINK , YEAH. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT CYCLES AND PERIODS AS I GOT TO BE AN ADULT AND THINGS WERE DIFFERENT AND I WAS LIKE , WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY BODY? I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL THAT YOU GUYS ARE MAKING IT NORMALIZED TO TALK ABOUT IT. BECAUSE PART OF THE REASON I DIDN'T LEARN WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE SHAME OF TALKING ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW? YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. THANKS FOR BEING HERE AND DOING ALL THAT WORK.

041AND WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN EXCHANGE WITH PEERS ACROSS THE COUNTY. THIS PLAN REFLECTS THE PRODUCTIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CLACKAMAS ESD AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF OUR SERVICES. THIS YEAR WE HAVE DIVIDED IT EARLY. THE FIRST PART IS RESOLUTION SERVICES ONLY AND THOSE ARE SERVICES THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH FEDERAL FUNDING DOLLARS THAT THEY RECEIVE. THOSE ARE THE AREAS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY AND DATA, TEACHING AND LEARNING AND LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY SUPPORT AS WELL AS DIRECT REVENUE THAT COMES BACK TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED WHERE YOU CHOOSE. THE OTHER PART COVERS OUR GRANT AND CONTRACT SERVICES AND THOSE ARE PAID FOR BY A HOST OF DIFFERENT STATE, FEDERAL AND DIRECT CONTRACTS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS REQUESTING A SPECIFIC SERVICE INCLUDING AREAS LIKE EARLY LEARNING, STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES, SEVERAL SPECIAL EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY
042TEACHING AND LEARNING SERVICES. AGAIN THIS IS BEEN APPROVED BY THE SUPERINTENDENTS AND THE CLACKAMAS ESD BOARD AND IT IS HERE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL TONIGHT.
