OOD EVENING DIRECTORS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD BOARD MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. I WATCHED THE STUDY SESSION THAT STARTED AT 5:00 AND I WANTED TO COMMENT BEFORE MY OTHER COMMENT ON THE SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR SCHOOL BONDS.

ANY REQUEST TO LOWER THE THRESHOLD TRAMPLES AND DESTROYS MINORITY OPINION AND DISSENT. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO RETHINK YOUR POSITION THERE. THE DIRECTOR, AND FORGIVE ME I WAS DRIVING WHILE LISTENING, WHO COMMENTED THAT 50+1 VOTE IN A SCHOOL CLASSROOM IS THE SAME AS LEGISLATIVE POLICY AND VOTING STRUCTURE. AND I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU THER . THE REASON WE HAVE THE RULES WILL DO IN THE CONSTITUTION IN PLACE IS TO PROTECT MINORITY OPINION. WE LEAVE THAT INTO THE OVERALL COMMON AS WE KNOW WE ARE IN THE MINORITY OF THIS POSITION.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO EXERCISE INDEPENDENCE AND SEPARATE YOURSELVES AS LEADERS AND REJECT THE HARMFUL REQUIREMENTS OF MASKING OUR CHILDREN.

I'M GOING TO SKIP A FEW SECTIONS, BUT I DID ONCE AGAIN TODAY JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO DOWNLOAD THE STATE DATA ON COVID CASES, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS.

I WILL FOCUS ON KING COUNTY. STATEWIDE WE HAVE HAD 13 DEATHS OF INDIVIDUALS UNDER 19 YEARS OLD, SEVEN OF THEM IN 2021.

THAT IS ABOUT HALF COURT OR TAKE.

I KNOW NOT EVERYONE'S MATHIS THE SAME.

AND WE HAVE IN KING COUNTY FIVE INDIVIDUALS UNDER 19 WILL DIE FROM COVID-19 ACCORDING TO THE STATE TO STICK STICKS.

AND THREE OF THEM IN 2021. THAT PROPORTION IS GREATER THAN STATEWIDE, WHICH IS A LITTLE INTERESTING AND IF WE LOOK AT APRIL THROUGH JUNE 2020 WE HAD NO DEATHS OF PEOPLE UNDER 19 IN APRIL 2021 WE HAD TWO DEATHS. THE MATH POLICY THAT 2021 PERIOD IS MUCH MORE STRICT THAN IT WAS IN 2020.

I'M JUST WONDERING, I'M JUST CHALLENGING YOU WHAT WE ARE DOING WORKING. PERHAPS SCHEDULE SOME TIME TO INVESTIGATE THAT A LITTLE BIT DEEPER.

LASTLY I WANTED TO I WANTED TO ASK IN THE VITAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM LAST ITEM OF RETRACTING, RECRUITING, RETAINING HIGH-QUALITY DIVERSE STAFF, PERHAPS YOU COULD DEDICATE SOME TIME IN A STUDY SESSION TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC HOW TITLE VII INTERSEX WITH THIS VITAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM. AND THAT IS ALL FOR THIS EVENING. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.>> WE ONLY HAD ONE INDIVIDUAL SIGNED UP FOR COMMENT TONIGHT?

[00:10:10]

>> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. >>ERIC LALIBERTE : OKAY PARIS THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT. THE BOARD HAS RECEIVED WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT. THE BOARD HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ THROUGH THESE COMMENTS IN A COMPILATION OF COMMENTS HAVE BEEN POSTED TO BOARD DOCUMENTS. WE RECEIVED WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT. I THINK I CAN ÃI WILL READ ALOUD THE PUBLIC COMMENT.I THINK I CAN DO IT WITHIN OUR TIME THAT WE DEDICATE. WE RECEIVED A PUBLIC COMMENT FROM JOE'S LAND WHO WROTE IT HAS RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION LW ST HAS ISSUES RETAINING OUR RECRUITING BY POK TEACHERS AND LEADERSHIP. WHAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE TO ATTRACT TEACHERS AND LEADERSHIP WHO IDENTIFY AS BY POK IN THE DISTRICT? I HAVE WONDERED IN BROWN B EDUCATION OF BLACK TEACHERS WERE INTEGRATED INTO THE SCHOOLS PART OF OUR CHILDREN BOTH BLACK AND WHITE WOULD HAVE FARED BETTER. WE ALSO RECEIVED COMMENT FROM ALISA AND SHE WROTE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK IN WRITING AND ADOPTING THE EQUITY POLICY ON BEHALF OF STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT. I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL SADDER SCHOOL DISTRICT SURROUNDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LAST TO ADOPT AN EQUITY POLICY.

INDEED, ONE DAY I HOPE TO SEE OUR DISTRICT BE CONSIDERED A EQUITY LEADER IN THE NATION. I KNOW THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR US TO BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HELP OUR DISTRICT LEADERS IN THEIR EQUITY JOURNEY AND RECOMMEND YOU READ A BOOK, WHICH PROVIDES A PERSPECTIVE FROM WHICH EQUITY WORK CAN BE APPROACHED.

IT IS THE BOOK TITLED SEE NO STRANGER, AIN'T NO MORE AN MANIFESTO OF REVOLUTIONARY LOVE BY VALERIE.

HER PREMISE OF THE BOOK IS SIMPLE.

SEE EVERY PERSON YOU ENCOUNTER AS PART YOURSELF AND YOU WILL GO INTO THE WORLD PROACTIVELY ACTING TO SUPPORT HUMANKIND WITHIN THE CONTEXT EQUITY WORK IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, HER PHILOSOPHY ASKS YOU SEEK EACH STUDENT AS YOUR OWN CHILD AND YOU CAN'T HELP BUT ACT THROUGH AN EQUITY PERSPECTIVE SO EACH STUDENT IS GIVEN THE LOVE AND CARE FOR THE HEALTH AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE SUFFERING IN ANY GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME FOR AND I WANT TO SHARE EXCITING NEWS WITH RESEARCH ON THE ACADEMIC IMPACT UPON STUDENTS OF EQUITY INITIATIVES.

SOCIAL SCIENTISTS ABOUT ADOPTING EQUITY POLICIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS TRANSLATE TO HIGHER ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL. SPECIFICALLY QUOTING RESEARCH IS LINKED INCREASE RACIAL DIVERSITY WITHIN A SCHOOL AS WELL AS AN EMPHASIS ON EQUITY AND INCLUSION WITH IMPROVED ACADEMIC OUTCOMES. WHEN STUDENTS HAVE MORE INTERACTION WITH CLASSMATES OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS AND VIEW THE RACIAL CLIMATE ON CAMPUS AS POSITIVE, RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE FRIENDSHIPS ACROSS GROUP LINES AND HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR OWN ACADEMIC ABILITIES. ALBERT EINSTEIN, IF YOU WERE LIVING TODAY, I KNOW WOULD BE PROUD OF ADOPTING A POLICY, BUT I KNOW HE WOULD WANT OUR DISTRICT LEADERS TO GIVE EQUITY WORK THE STATUS IT DESERVES. EQUITY POLICIES TEACH WISDOM AMONG STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOLS AND EQUITY WORK IS HEALING CENTERED EDUCATION. AND IS EXPRESSED BY THE STUDENTS IN THE VIDEO TITLED STUDENTS OF COLOR SPEAK OUT SUFFERED FROM DISCRIMINATION HAS REACHED EMERGENCY LEVELS IN OUR DISTRICT AND WE MUST RESPOND TO THIS CRISIS AMONGST OUR SCHOOLS. A REQUEST TO THE EQUITY BUDGET GOING FORWARD REFLECTS THIS ONGOING CRISIS AND I ASKED THE EQUITY DECISIONS BE ELEVATED TO BOARD STATUS.

I SHARE WITH YOU A PASSAGE WHICH SUMMARIZES THE PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY IS BEING CALLED TO DO IN THE NAME OF EQUITABLE LOVE AND ACTION ON BEHALF OF ALL STUDENTS. IN SPEAKING ABOUT THE HORROR ABOUT THE BOMBS DROPPED IN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, EINSTEIN REMARKED "THE UNLEASED POWER OF THE ATOM BOMB HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING EXCEPT OUR MODES OF THINKING AND THUS WE DRIFT TOWARD UNPARALLELED CATASTROPHES." THUS HE, EINSTEIN, RECOGNIZED THE URGENT NEED FOR US TO REDEFINE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN BEINGS. WARNING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS, EINSTEIN ASSERTED THAT THE SOLUTION OF WORLD PEACE COULD ARISE ONLY FROM THE INSIDE PARTS OF HUMANKIND. THAT IS WHY HE SAID "IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE.

[00:15:01]

OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE A COMMENT FROM JOY RANDALL. I WILL READ THIS.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE PUBLIC COMMENT OPEN AND WOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE ONE AFTER MS. RANDLES? MY VOICE IS GETTING A LITTLE HOARSE.

I WILL TRY TO WORK THROUGH IT. MS. RANDALL WROTE I DID BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF AT THE BOARD MEETING WAS THE DISTRICT EQUITY POLICY WAS FINALLY VOTED IN. I HOLD MY BREATH WAITING DOCTOR HOMANS INTERPRETATION AND PLANS TO IMPLEMENT IT IN HOPES IT WILL BE BOLD, COURAGEOUS AND ADDRESSING RACIAL INEQUITIES THAT MANY IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE CALLED FOR.

MY HOPES FEEL FLEETING AT THE TIME BECAUSE THE RECENT SITUATION THAT HAPPENED AT EASTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL THE LACK OF A FRUIT CLEAR EQUITY LOANS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT FOR THE STATEMENT FROM YOU, DOCTOR HOMAN, FOCUSED ON WHERE YOU WERE DURING 9/11 HOW PATRIOTIC YOU ARE BY STATING HOW VETERANS AND FIREFIGHTERS WERE AND ARE IMPACTED.

I UNDERSTAND IS IMPORTANT TO SAY AND I RESPECT THE VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS THAT SERVED AND SUFFERED.

OPPORTUNITY SHOW RESPECT AS WELL TO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND TO THE MANY SOUTH ASIAN FAMILIES IMPACTED BY 9/11 WHO SUFFERED FROM THE RISE OF ISLAM A PHONE VIA AND STILL COPE WITH RACISM AND BIAS WITH SIMPLY NOT TAKEN PRETTY CATERING TO THE RIGHT-WING MEDIA ARTICLES AND PEOPLE WHO CLAIM REVERSE RACISM WAS THE PATH YOU CHOSE. THIS SHOWS ANOTHER FAILURE TO PROTECT AND SUPPORT THE STUDENTS OF COLOR.

YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUT AS A LEADER THAT IS TAKING AN ANTIRACIST DANCE AND EDUCATOR SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

YOU RELY ON SCIENCE ÃSILENCE, SILENCING THOSE THAT WERE AND STILL TRYING TO PROTECT BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILY. DO NOT RELY ON SILENCE, YOU ARE SILENCING THOSE WHO ARE STILL TRYING TO PROTECT BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

AS A COMMUNITY, WE ALL MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHERE WE ARE ALL FALLING SHORT.

THE FACTOR DISTRICT MOVE SO SLOWLY IN PASSING AN EQUITY POLICY FOR YEARS AND IN THE END BARELY WAS IN THE BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, HAVING SHARED THE STORIES MAKES PRINCES AND ADVICES WHY SITUATIONS HAPPEN.

THE LACK OF STAFF/TEACHER DIVERSITY AND THE ONGOING INABILITY TO HIRE AND RETAIN TEACHERS/STAFF OF COLOR IS ANOTHER REASON WHY THESE SITUATIONS HAPPEN.

LACK OF SUPPORT FOR ALL TEACHERS AND STAFF WHO TRY TO COMMIT TO AN ANTIRACIST EQUITY FOCUS IN THEIR COMMUNICATIONS AND TEACHINGS IS WHY THE SITUATIONS HAPPEN.

US HISTORY SOCIETAL IMPACTS ON MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IS WHITE THE SITUATIONS HAPPEN.

NOT HAVING COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE IS WHY THE SITUATIONS HAPPEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

PREVIOUSLY YOU STATED WE WANT TO COLLABORATE WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE ON THE EQUITY POLICY NUMBER THAT IS A POSITIVE STEP IN ACKNOWLEDGING ONE PERSON THAT DO NOT HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCE WITH MARGINALIZED GROUP TO LOOK AT THE FULL PICTURE OF EQUITY WITH ALL ITS INTERSECTIONS.

THOSE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCES SPECIFICALLY BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO HAVE AND CONTINUE TO LEARN AND EMBRACE AN ANTIRACIST EQUITY FOCUS PERSPECTIVE ARE KEY HERE.

ICE SURE YOU SEE THE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WE ENCOUNTER EVERY DAY I HOPE USE THE SITUATION TO CRITICALLY HELP SHAPE AND THE MINISTRY OF EQUITY POLICY ARE DISTRICT DESPERATELY NEEDS. THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM GRETA CLYMER. IS ANYONE ABLE TO READ THAT

ALLOWED. >> THIS IS FROM GRETA.

EQUITY IS NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

OR IS IT? IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD LIKE I TRY TO COME EQUITY IS ALWAYS ON THE AGENDA.

WRITING TO REMIND YOU EVERY CONVERSATION AND DECISION HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR EQUITY. SHOW CONVERSATIONS AND MAKE DECISIONS AND AS YOU LEAD. SINCE YOU PASS THE SCHOOL BOARD EQUITY POLICY SEPTEMBER 13 I LEARNED ABOUT THE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES AND HANDLING OF THE 9/11 21 RELATED EVENTS AT EASTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL. NOT A MEMBER OF THE SLICK COMMUNITY BUT HAVE HEARD FROM STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES ABOUT THE HARM FELT IN THE BLACK INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF COLOR COMMUNITY.OU HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT WHICH I HAVE READ. IT SEEMS EVIDENT VOICES OF BLACK INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF COLOR HAS BEEN.

[00:20:11]

I HEARD DOCTOR SMITH WAS THE FIRST BLACK PRINCIPAL AND LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT PARIS BUT LATER HEARD THAT HAS BEEN A SMALL NUMBER IN A FEW SCHOOLS OVER THE BEST CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY? IS IN ROOM REPLACEMENT AND HER REPLACEMENT ARE BOTH INCLUDED. THESE ARE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXAMINE EQUITY IN LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

UNDOUBTEDLY EACH OF OUR SCHOOLS DELIVER NUMEROUS SMALL EXAMPLES EVERYDAY. IT IS WHEN WE PAY ATTENTION, ARE WILLING TO DISCUSS THE RATE FAILURE IN THE FACE OF OUR EFFORTS AND INSIST ON DOING BETTER THAT WE WILL GRADUATE EVERY CHILD PREPARED TO LEAVE HER BOARDING RESPONSIBLE LIFE AS A CONTROLLING MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND GREATER SOCIETY.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

I CAN DO THE NEXT. >> I CAN KEEP READING IF YOU

LIKE. >> AT EASTLAKE AND OTHER PREVALENT ISSUES.

ALL EMAILS FROM THIS ADDRESS COME FROM STUDENTS.

IT'S ASTOUNDING WHAT THIS INFORMATION DOES.

BEFORE PSEUDO-NINTH, THE BLATANT DISREGARD OF THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY AND HOUNDING OF ONE NARRATIVE ONLY EXISTED ON MY T.V. SCREEN. I WOULD SEE POLITICIANS LIVE, I WOULD WATCH CAN PIERCE CONSPIRACY THEORIST TAKE THINGS TOO FAR AND I WOULD GIVEN ALL AS A TRUE, SCIENCE AND REALITY OF THE WORLD WAS DENIED. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY AREA NEAR ME, LET ALONE MY OWN SCHOOL AND DISTRICT. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND DISHONESTY OF THE SCHOOL AND DIFFERENCE.

I AM SHOCKED HUMANITY STAGES AT EASTLAKE ARE UNDER ATTACK FOR BRAINWASHING STUDENTS. SOME PARENTS CLAIMING THOSE TEACHERS ARE MAKING THE RIGHT STUDENTS FEEL GUILTY AND BAD ABOUT THEMSELVES. I AM A WHITE STUDENT AND I HAVE NEVER FELT ATTACKED, BUT I CANNOT SAY THAT CYMBALTA MINORITY STUDENTS AT EASTLAKE FOR EASTLAKE NEAREST THE REAL WORLD WHERE WHITE PEOPLE IN THE SCRUTINY, BUT MINORITY GROUPS ARE EVERY SINGLE DAY. THE DAY WAS NEARLY CANCELED THE WRITTEN LEADERSHIP DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE 9/11.

THEY DID NOT PLAN IN ASSEMBLY OR VIDEO TO BE SHOWN THEIR IMPACT ON, WHICH IS SURPRISING. EVERY SINGLE YEAR BEFORE THAT EASTLAKE IS EDUCATED STUDENTS ABOUT THE TRAGEDY AND EVERY SCHOOL I HAVE GONE TO BEFORE DID THE SAME.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE I FIND IT INCREDIBLY ODD THE SCHOOL OVERLOOKED A NATIONAL TRAGEDY.

EVEN A REMOTE LEARNING HONOR THOSE WHO DIED.

WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED ON 9/11. THE SCHOOL DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HEARTBREAK AND SUFFERING PEOPLE WENT THROUGH AND STILL GO THROUGH EVERY DAY SO I WILL.

I DID NOT KNOW THE FRONT-LINE WORKERS WHO DIED WERE STILL SUFFERING FROM 9/11 RELATED ILLNESSES AND THE INNOCENT CIVILIANS KILLED. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY I HONOR THEM AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THEIR SACRIFICES TO THE SAFETY

[00:25:01]

>> THIS ONE INSTANCE SHOULD PAY ÃMINORITY LEADER MCCARTHY SET ON AUGUST 2021 LEADING AFGHAN REFUGEES INTO THE US WOULD BE LIKE LETTING TERRORISTS ACROSS THE STEREOTYPE MUSLIM PEOPLE HAVE FAITH SINCE 9/11 AND I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE THAT IF NOT YOU ARE DENIED THE REALITY AND TRUTH OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. OUR WORLD IS NOT BEAUTIFUL YET RACISM, SEXISM AND HATE CRIMES RUN RAMPANT IN ORDER TO CHANGE THAT WE HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES AND ÃSHOULD BE TELLING OUR MUSLIM PEERS THEY DO NOT MATTER THAT THE EXPERIENCE DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A US ÃON 4 JULY SO IF YOU COULD READ THE END OF THAT AS I HAVE A PHONE GOING IN MY BACKGROUND THAT I CANNOT ANSWER.

SOME OF THE OTHER REASON IT WAS CANCELED WAS BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG UNFORTUNATELY UNDER TRUMPS ADMINISTRATION PEOPLE WITH HATEFUL BELIEFS PRAY TO THE AMERICAN FLAG THOSE WHO ENGAGE IN HATE CRIMES ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH PATRIOTS OR WHITE SUPREMACIST MOVEMENT ON AC AT AMERICAN FLAG I THINK OF THE AMERICAN MOVEMENT IT'S HEARTBREAKING AND UNFORTUNATE BUT THAT'S THE REALITY Ã CALLING SPIRIT DAY PATRIOT DAY MADE ME AND OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE HATE CRIMES ARE NOT LOOKED UPON IN A GOOD LIGHT SO THEY DECIDED TO CANCEL IT.

HOW >> WAS SHOCKING IS HOW LEADERSHIP CHANGE THE THEME LAST MINUTE TO SAY IT WAS AN HONOR OF 9/11 THAT WAS NOT THEIR INTENTION AND TO LOOK BETTER THEY USED 9/11 AS A SAFE BOASTS SCREAMING GO AMERICA IS NOT A WAY TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED IS NOT A CELEBRATION IS A DAY OF REFLECTION. SOME THINK WEARING RED WHITE AND BLUE IS A GOOD WAY TO HONOR THE VICTIMS OF 9/11. NO FAMILY OF SOMEONE WHO DIED ON 9/11 IS REMARKING ABOUT HOW THANKFUL THEY ARE ABOUT PEOPLE SCREAMING GO AMERICA BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HONOR THAT WAY THEY ARE NOT Ã THEY DO NOT FEEL LIKE THEIR LOVED ONE IS HONORED WHEN SOMEONE SCREAMS GO AMERICA BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT THEY CANCELED THE SPIRIT DAY THEY DID IT IN ORDER TO MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE AND MORE INCLUSIVE IT WAS NOT MALICIOUS OR RACIST THE CANCELLATION OF THE DAY WAS AND IS INCLUSIVE AND WELCOMING SAFE SPACE MY MOTHER WAS TERRIFIED WHEN SHE HEARD WHAT HAPPENED AND IT MADE THE NEWS SHE DID NOT WANT ME AT SCHOOL I REGRET TELLING HER THE STORY MADE FOX NEWS BECAUSE I HATED SEEING HER CRY AND I HATED HOW BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION THE STORY HAD BECOME I WAS SCARED BUT I DID NOT WANT TO SHOW THAT IN FRONT OF MY FAMILY.

I WAS WORRIED FOR THE TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND STAFF MY MOTHER WAS WORRIED PATRIOTS ÃMY HOOD PROTEST WITH WEAPONS AND POLICE SHOWED UP AT OUR SCHOOL FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE COMMUNICATION FOR THAT WAS NONEXISTENT AS THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE SCHOOL OF THE STUDENTS.

COMMUNICATION IS A BIG ISSUE RIGHT NOW ÃWAS NOT INFORMED OF THE CASES STUDENTS WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT THE REAL REASONS THAT USA TODAY WAS CANCELED THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO STOP KEEPING STUDENTS AND PARENTS IN THE DARK IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE HONESTY SHOULD BE

[00:30:01]

>> WE ALSO RECEIVED A SIMILAR WE RECEIVED A PDF LETTER FROM FRANKLIN WE ARE OVER TIME ALL PUBLIC COMMENT BUT IT IS ON THE PACKET AND IF IT ADDRESSES SIMILAR ISSUES AND SIMILAR CONCERNS AND THE OTHER LETTER THAT I READ ALOUD. AND WE RECEIVED A SUBMISSION FROM JIM MCCOY MR. MCCOY IS THE SUBJECT OF THE C RG CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND HE WROTE I AM AGAINST TEACHING THE SUBJECT IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS RACISM IS STARTING TO RUN OUR COUNTRY APOLOGIES TO MR. MCCOY I'M HAVING TROUBLE READING THE HANDWRITING IT'S BASED IN MARXISM THEY WANT CONTROL WE WANT FREEDOM ÃCAPITALISM IS AWFUL ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY THAT'S WRONG WE WANT OUR FREEDOM AND TO TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT AND HONOR RECENT SURVEY SAYS PEOPLE ARE OPPOSED TO CRT 58 TO 67 PERCENT SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS SHOULD TEACH SUBJECTS THAT STUDENTS CAN USE IN OUR COUNTRY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING TO COME TO AMERICA, WHY? FREEDOM, FREEDOM, EDUCATION, JOBS ETC. VERY THAT'S FROM JIM MCCOY THANK YOU THAT IS THE WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE RECEIVED IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING TONIGHT THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO PROVIDE THE COMMODORE TO WRITE THE BOARD. AS A REMINDER, THERE ARE 2 OPTIONS THE FIRST IS TO REQUEST A LINK BY 1 PM ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD MEETING BY EMAILING DIANE JENKINS OR SUBMITTING WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT TO A DIANE JENKINS BY 3 PM ON THE DATE OF THE BOARD MEETING.

THANK YOU FOR THAT RELIEF. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA AS AMENDED TO

[D. Consent Agenda]

APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> MOVED BY DIRECTOR AND SECOND

BY CARLSON BY THAT WE APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AS Ã >>.

DONATIONS RECEIVED IN ADVANCE? >> ON THE BOARD AGENDA THE PT ESSAY HAS GRACIOUSLY DONATED OVER $18,000 TO SCHOOLS ACROSS THE DISTRICT WE WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THOSE DONATIONS AS WE PARTNER WITH THEM AND THE EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS.

[E. Non-Consent Agenda]

[00:35:14]

>> DID WE, THE ITEMS THAT WE MOVE TO THE NONCONSENT AGENDA DID WE MOVE THEM TO THE FRONT

OR THE BACK? >> WE CAN DO EITHER WAY IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE SINCE THEY WERE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS.

>> LET'S TAKE THE BOARD WORK PLAN FIRST. THE BOARD, I GUESS COULD YOU JUST SORT OF SET THIS UP WITH A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE WHAT THE BOARD WORK PLAN IS AND WHAT WAS

ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT? >> ABSOLUTELY. ANNUALLY THE BOARD ADOPTS THE WORK PLAN AND AS THE BOARD KNOWS, THAT'S ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS KNOWING THERE ARE ITEMS THAT COME UP THAT WE NEED TO ADJUST IN PLACE ON THE AGENDA AND MONITOR AND ADJUST AS WE GO THROUGH WITH THE WORK PLAN OF THE BOARD IS IS TO SET THE STAGE FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE YEAR AND WE REVISIT IN JANUARY PER POLICY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHERE WE ARE THE PRIORITIES OF THE BOARD AND IN THE ONGOING AGENDA. THE OTHER THING THAT THE WORK PLAN DOES IS IT SETS THE STAGE FOR WHEN THE BOARD WILL MONITOR POLICY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO THAT HAS BEEN PLACED WITHIN THE

AGENDA AS WELL. >> SO DIRECTOR, YOUR MOTION TO MOVE THE NONCONSENT AGENDA SO I WILL GIVE YOU THE FLOOR FIRST TO DISCUSS THE WORK PLAN.

>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT GETTING LAID OUT AND WHERE THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN IS GOING THE PIECE I NOTICED, WE HAVE A COLUMN FOR ENGAGEMENT AND THAT SPEAKS SPECIFICALLY TO THE WORK THE BOARD IS DOING TO GENETICS AND ENGAGE WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND IT'S CURRENTLY BLANK AND SO I WAS HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING STRUCTURED AT THIS POINT IN TIME ON HOW WE WILL GO FORWARD I THINK OF SOME OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE EQUITY WORK HOW DO WE BUILD THAT COMPONENT AS ENGAGEMENT PIECES GOING FORWARD TO HAVE CONVERSATION AND DISCUSSION AS WELL AS STUDENT VOICES THE OTHER COMPONENT WE WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ENGAGE MORE EFFECTIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY TO BE ABLE TO BE WORKING WITH THOSE COMPONENTS SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GETS INTO THE WORK PLAN BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE NOW WE HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO PLAN OUR PRIORITIES FOR THIS YEAR AND ARE COMPONENTS AS

WELL. >> DIRECTOR SAGE?

>> I AGREE WE NEED TO CONTINUE THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE ESTABLISHED THIS PAST YEAR WORKING ON THE EQUITY POLICY WE DEFINITELY NEED TO INCLUDE STUDENT VOICE AND THE LINKAGES WE MET WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS AND I FOUND THAT EXTREMELY HELPFUL BECAUSE YOU ARE HEARING DIRECTLY FROM THEM HOW THEY ARE AFFECTED AND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SCHOOL AND WHAT IS WORKING WELL AND WHAT IS NOT SO WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF A METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

>> I WILL ECHO THE OTHERS BUT I WANT TO SEE THEM STEP IT UP A LITTLE BIT HIGHER WE NEED TO HAVE ONGOING COMMUNICATION IF WE END UP HAVING ONE OR TWO BOARD MEMBERS TRYING TO TAKE RELATIONSHIPS FARTHER WITH CERTAIN GROUPS AND IF THEY HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP OR HOWEVER IT CAN BE I DON'T WANT IT TO BE JUST ONE TIME 1/4 THAT IS NOT WHAT I CONSIDER ONGOING SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST WE FIND A WAY WE CAN MAKE IT ON A REGULAR BASIS AND QUITE FRANKLY WE ARE FRIENDS HERE WE ARE ALSO FELLOW PARENTS LET'S GET IT RIGHT.

[00:40:01]

>> I WOULD AGREE WITH THE NEED WHAT I HEARD AND WHAT I AGREE WITH IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE INTENTIONAL, AND MAY BE SCHEDULED BUT CERTAINLY INTENTIONAL REGULAR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AS A MATTER OF POLICY AND SO I THINK I AM JUST THINKING AS THE BOARD WE NEED TO HAVE THIS AS A STUDY SESSION SOON TO PLAN OUT WHAT THAT WOULD BE AND GET THAT AMEND THE

>> AND REMANDED TO MAKE CHANGES AND OR WE COULD HOLD OFF ON ADOPTING IT AND HAVE THAT INCLUDED LATER BUT EITHER WAY MY VIEW IS THAT AT ONE OF THE UPCOMING STUDY SESSIONS WE

SHOULD SET ASIDE SOME TIME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WANT >> ONE LAST THING LINKAGES SOUNDS SO TECHNICAL IT SOUNDS SO STERILE, CAN WE JUST CALL IT CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY OTHERWISE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. JUST A THOUGHT.

>> DIRECTOR? >> I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY SESSION TO PRIORITIZE WHAT THE TOPICS WOULD BE GOING FORWARD TO REALLY DEFINE THIS AS A CONSISTENT PROCESS. I DO THINK THAT IS A KEY STEP TO GO FORWARD I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE THERE NEEDS TO BE A GATHERING OF INDIVIDUALS COMING TOGETHER THAT'S IMPORTANT SO WE ENSURE THE TIME IS WELL SPENT FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED AND THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF OUR BOARD WORK THAT WE NEED TO BE BUILDING ON

A REGULAR BASIS. >> I AGREE. THE STUDY SECTION IN SOME

PRIORITIES AND REASONS >> AND BUILDING THE LINKAGES AROUND THAT.

SO I HEARD ESSENTIALLY UNANIMOUS ÃA UNANIMOUS YOU AND THAT RESPECTS WE WILL GET

SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA SOON. >> AND I AM FINE WITH IMPROVING THE AGENDA THE WORK PLAN AS IS WITH THE IDEA WE ARE GOING TO BUILD THIS COMPONENT AND I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO HOLD UP APPROVAL WHAT OTHER CONCERN WE HAVE A TIMING WITH THE MONITOR REPORTS THAT MONITORING REPORT AND RESULTS IN THE DATA MOST OF THE TIME IT'S PLAYING OUT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AND ALSO RESULTING AND WE DO TWO AND THREE AND THAT MATTERS AS MUCH AS TYPICALLY THAT'S HOW IT WOULD PLAY OUT. AND THAT'S THE DATA IN THE FALL WHEN FEASIBLE. WOULD YOU BE OKAY SENDING THAT TO OUR POLICY COMMITTEE TO ENGAGE SOME INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS FROM THAT CONVERSATION?

>> REMANDED TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE.

>> THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND THE TIMING OF HOW THOSE THINGS FIT IN THOSE ARE ALL COMPONENTS TO

BE LOOKING AT. >> IS THERE A MOTION AROUND THE WORK PLAN THAT ANYONE WANTS TO MATE?

>> I MOVED TO ADOPT THE WORK PLAN AS PRESENTED AND A STUDY SESSION FOR BOARD ENGAGEMENT

[00:45:03]

>> SECOND. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY REPORTING AYE. ANY OPPOSED? HEARING NONE IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE SECOND ITEM THAT WAS PULLED

OFF THE CONSENT AGENDA AND NONCONSENT AGENDA >> THE ACADEMIC ACCELERATION

POLICY. >> AND DOCTOR HELLMAN COULD DO

TO YET MR. Ã >> AS WE DISCUSSED IN THE STUDY SESSION TODAY THE BOARD HAS THEIR POLICIES AND YOU HAVE DELEGATED THE OPERATIONS IN ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN STATE LAW REQUIRES THE BOARD TO APPROVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS AND THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF HOUSE BILL 5099 BILL WORKING ON THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF IT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS SO AN ACADEMIC ACCELERATION POLICY IS THAT FINAL STEP SO HERE TO PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE INFORMATION IS THE ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT.

>> AND HOUSE BILL 1599 AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ITEMS ON THAT WE WORK THROUGH THOSE AT THAT TIME AND THE WAY WE DID OUR STATE AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN A NUMBER OF NEW OPTIONS AND DEMONSTRATING COMPETENCY AREA COURSE CREDITS AREA THERE IS ONE LAST ITEM ON THEIR GETTING OFFICIALLY THIS YEAR THE ACADEMIC ACCELERATION POLICIES AND THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS REQUIRING THAT WE ADOPT AN ACADEMIC ACCELERATION POLICY AND EXAMPLES OF THAT

POLICY AND HOW IT MIGHT PLAY OUT IN THE SCHOOLS >> ESSENTIALLY THE ACADEMIC POLICY HOSPL 5099 WAS DESIGNED THE INTENTION OF REDUCING BARRIERS AND STUDENTS CAN EARN NOT ONLY HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT BUT COLLEGE CREDIT THERE'S LOTS OF BENEFITS TO THAT THERE'S ACADEMIC BENEFITS AND FINANCIAL BENEFITS IN TERMS OF STUDENTS BEING ABLE TO BE FURTHER AHEAD IN COLLEGE AND BARRIERS TO ACCESS SUCH COURSES HAVE FOR MANY YEARS BEEN THERE FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AND SO THE INTENTION BEHIND THIS POLICY WAS TO ELIMINATE SOME BARRIERS FOR THE STUDENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO ACCESS AND ACCESSING PRIOR YEARS AND ADVANCED COURSES.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE ACADEMIC ACCELERATION POLICY HAS CORE COMPONENTS AND THE FIRST IS THAT IF STUDENTS MEET OR EXCEED STANDARDS ON A SMART ASSESSMENT THAT THEY ARE TO BE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED IN THE NEXT MOST RIGOROUS COURSE IN THAT SUBJECT AREA SO FOR EXAMPLE IN MATH REGARDLESS OF THE CLASS THAT ALSO APPLIES TO SOCIAL STUDIES COURSES AND THE WASHINGTON COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT THAT THEY TAKE AND VERY NOT AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED BUT THEY COULD ACCESS COURSES I NEED TO SAY BRIEFLY HERE ARE SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY INTENTIONALLY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS TO INTRODUCE SOME PREREQUISITES AND THIS IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF A STEP THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO GIVE KIDS GREATER ACCESS AND IF A STUDENT PASSES IN ADVANCE COURSE WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND ENROLLED AUTOMATICALLY IN THE MOST ADVANCED COURSE AND THE PRESENTATION JUST ABOUT SOME OF THE VARIATION WE NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THOSE COURSES LEAD TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENT OPTIONS STUDENTS WANT TO TAKE THAT WOULD NECESSARILY BE THE NEXT COURSE IN SEQUENCE IN THE LAST PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS

[00:50:09]

AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS STUDENTS CAN TAKE

>> WITH THE NEW ACADEMIC POLICY ÃON THE ASSESSMENT OF SCIENCE IN EIGHTH GRADE OR 11TH GRADE THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO TAKE ANY ADVANCE COURSE WITH ONE CAVEAT, OFTENTIMES ADVANCED COURSES IN SCIENCE ARE SEQUENTIAL AND THE CHEMISTRY IS THE COURSE THAT IS FIRST IN THE SEQUENCE BEFORE THEY TAKE ADVANCED CHEMISTRY AND TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS THEY NEED TO TAKE THE CHEMISTRY FIRST SO THEY COULD TAKE CHEMISTRY AND MOVE INTO AP CHEMISTRY AND COURSES

[00:55:13]

THE TRICKY PART WILL BE AS WE START TO THINK ABOUT ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS THERE ARE LOTS OF OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS WE HAVE HONOR AND A BAND'S CLASSES SO ONE OF OUR TASKS WILL BE WORKING WITH SCHOOLS TO IDENTIFY IF THAT'S THE NEXT MOST ADVANCED COURSE OR A SEQUENCE LIKE WE ARE DESCRIBING SO WE WILL WORK WITH OUR COUNSELORS TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT COURSES THAT STUDENTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED AND SO FINALLY IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS FOR US WE HAVE, WE ARE DOING A FIRST READING OF THE POLICY TONIGHT AND THE NEXT BOARD MEETING IS OCTOBER 18 THERE IS A VOTE ON THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO GATHERING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OF INTEREST TO THE BOARD AND TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE FOR HOW WE EVALUATE THIS CHANGE IN POLICY OVER TIME THAT WILL INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT COURSE DEMOGRAPHICS AND ENROLLMENT AND ADVANCED COURSES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO GET SUPPORT AND WE ARE THINKING ABOUT HOW THESE LINEUP AND IN ADDITION AS I MENTIONED A MOMENT AGO WE ARE IDENTIFYING A VERY SPECIFIC COURSES THAT ARE THE NEXT MOST ADVANCED COURSE THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY IF I TAKE ÃWITH THE NEXT MOST ADVANCED COURSE AND THAT WILL BE ALGEBRA AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT SEQUENCE AND BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET KIDS SCHEDULED WE BACKUP FROM THAT AND THAT INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF COURSE CATALOGS AND AS STUDENTS ARE MAKING DECISIONS SO THAT BEGINS ACTUALLY IN NOVEMBER AND WE WILL BE WORKING TO UPDATE COURSE CATALOGS AND SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND COURSE SEQUENCE PATHWAYS AND WE ALSO HAVE TO DEVELOP INTERNAL PROCEDURES SO STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED ON THE NEXT COURSE AND THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR DATA SERVICES TEAM THESE WILL WORK WITH OUR TEACHERS ADMINISTRATORS AND COUNSELORS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ACCOUNTING FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS AND THEN FINALLY WE ARE WORKING ON FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND THAT WILL BE WHAT STUDENTS ARE STARTING TO QUEUE UP TO BEGIN PLANNING FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND THAT'S AS CRAZY AS THAT SOUNDS WE BEGAN PRETTY EARLY SO QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO DO WE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING ALL OF THIS APPLIES TO THE 22 /23 SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD ASSESSMENT IN THE FALL THOSE ARE DETERMINING WHICH COURSE THEY ARE IN AND SIMILARLY STUDENTS TAKING ADVANCED COURSES THIS YEAR CAN AUTOMATICALLY BE ENROLLED FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR NINTH THROUGH 11TH GRADE. AND SO AS I MENTIONED BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WE WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO SHARE ON OCTOBER 18.

>> DIRECTOR SAGE HAS A QUESTION.

>> THANK YOU, MIKE, FOR REFERENCING THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU WILL BE GETTING US.SOME OF THAT INCLUDES IF YOUR STUDENT IS IF THERE REALLY INTERESTED IN MATH AND CALCULUS CHECKING AROUND WITH LOCAL COLLEGES AND QUESTION ON PREVIOUSLY A PREREQUISITE TO AP PHYSICS TO TAKE HONORS PHYSICS OR REGULAR PHYSICS ENERGY WE OFFER ALL THREE?

>> THEY HAVE DIFFERENT COURSES IN SCHOOL AND I DON'T BELIEVE CURRENTLY IT'S A PREREQUISITE TO TAKE HONORS PHYSICS WE CAN CONFIRM THIS FOR THE NEXT MEETING AND IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN SOME LETTER GRADE REQUIREMENTS AND THERE WERE SOME HONORS PREREQUISITES OUR TEAMS IN OUR SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGH GOING THROUGH PARTICULARLY ADVANCED PLACEMENT SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ADVANCED PLACEMENT OPTIONS.

[01:00:02]

>> I WOULD ASK THAT FOR CHEMISTRY AS WELL AND ALSO FOR BIOLOGY AS WELL I SUPPOSE BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD WITH HONORS AND MY KIDS DECIDING NOT TO MOVE TO AP WHICH IS FINE BY ME AND SOME KIDS MIGHT WANT TO DO IT AND TAKING REGULAR BIOLOGY AND IS THERE ANYTHING THAT KEEPS THEM FROM DOING THAT? IT SOUNDS LIKE NOT IF A STUDENT IS ENROLLED IN AN ADVANCED COURSE

>> DIRECTOR STEWART? >> EMPHASIS ON SCIENCE AND MATH AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOT CONFINE IT TO THAT I HAD TO ADD MORE BURDEN TO THE REQUEST BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ÃTHE SOCIAL SCIENCES FOR LANGUAGE ARTS AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE ARE STUDENTS OUT THERE SCIENCE AND MATH, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL AND KNOW MY PATH.

>> THOSE ARE DEFINED IN THE Ã AS WELL.

>> ALL THE MORE REASON TO INCLUDE THOSE. THANK YOU.

>> OKAY. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE

PRESENTATION TONIGHT? >> SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH TRYING TO ADDRESS NOT ONLY IS IT A LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT BUT FROM WHAT I COULD BESIDE MOVING ANY BARRIERS TO BE PUT INTO PLACE AND JUST HIGHLIGHT ONE THING WE SPOKE ABOUT, TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THOSE COMPONENTS AS WE GO THROUGH AND THIS CAN BE A BARRIER AND THANK YOU I THINK THIS IS GREAT WORK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW IT MOVES FORWARD.

>> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER QUESTIONS?

>> OKAY THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA IS A REVIEW OF THE 2020,

>> GREAT. TONIGHT IN YOUR BOARD PACKET YOU HAVE RESOLUTIONS 2319, 2320 AND 2321 PERTAINING TO THREE LEVY FUNDING MEASURES THESE RESOLUTIONS REFLECT MY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I WILL SHARE THROUGH MY PRESENTATION. I AM HAPPY TO TAKE BOARD

[01:05:03]

RESULTS NUMBER TWO FOCUSES ON THE ACADEMIC CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED AND NUMBER THREE ON THE LIFE SKILLS AND CITIZENSHIP ATTRIBUTES THAT EACH GRADUATE POSSESSES.

OUR MISSION OF GRADUATING STUDENTS IS FOUNDATIONAL IN THE WORK THAT WE DO BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GRADUATING STUDENTS, IT'S ABOUT OUR VISION ENSURING THAT EVERY STUDENT IS FUTURE READY PREPARED FOR COLLEGE PREPARED FOR THE GLOBAL WORKPLACE AND PERSONAL SUCCESS WILL WE TALK ABOUT COLLEGES ABOUT A TWO OR FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY TRADE SCHOOL THE MILITARY, WHATEVER OPTION IS AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS WE WANT THEM TO MAKE THAT CHOICE FOR THEMSELVES BEING PREPARED FOR THE GLOBAL WORKPLACE ALIGNS WITH THAT RESULTS COMPONENTS AND EVERYTHING WE WANT OUR GRADUATES TO BE ABLE TO DO COMMUNICATE, COLLABORATE, WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND PREPARE FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS. OUR STUDENTS KNOW WHAT PASSIONS ARE, WHAT DRIVES THEM THAT'S WHAT OUR VISION IS FOR LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IN OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY TO ENSURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS BY CLOSING OPPORTUNITY GAPS FOR STUDENTS AND PROVIDING EQUITABLE INCLUSIVE LEARNING AND WORKING ENVIRONMENTS FOR STUDENTS FAMILIES STAFF AND COMMUNITIES IN THIS COMMITMENT TO EQUITY TRULY GROUNDS EVERYTHING WE DO AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A REFERENCE POINT THE BOARD JUST ADOPTED Ã14 WHICH TAKES THIS COMMITMENT TO ACT ÃEQUITY AND EXTRAPOLATES IT AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DATA FOR US TO MONITOR THAT WORK. AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT WE HAVE STATED VALUES WITHIN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUSING ON STUDENTS LEARNING CONNECTIONS AND RESULTS WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW THAT RELATES TO THIS WORK AROUND SEEKING FUNDING FROM OUR COMMUNITY I THINK ABOUT FOCUSING ON STUDENTS IT'S ABOUT HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS OF VALUE THAT OUR COMMUNITY HOLDS FOCUSING ON LEARNING IS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OUR MISSION AND VISION FOR EACH STUDENT OUR FOCUS ON CONNECTIONS AND KNOWING THAT EXCELLENT SCHOOLS ARE PART OF EXCELLENT COMMUNITIES AND THE FOCUS ON RESULTS TRANSPARENCY AND SCHOOL FUNDING ENSURING THAT WE MAKE SURE OUR COMMUNITY IS SEEKING RESOURCES TO CONTINUE TO BUILD AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR OUR STUDENTS. A FEW DATA SETS I WANT TO REFERENCE BEFORE I GET INTO MY

[01:10:04]

SO I WANT TO START WITH THE COMPONENTS OF THE LEVEES THE EPO IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THESE ARE LEVEES TO SUPPORT STUDENT PROGRAMS AND TECHNOLOGY AND FACILITY NEEDS AND STARTING WITH THE LEVEES TO SUPPORT THE STUDENT PROGRAMS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS LEVY.

AND WHAT IS AN EPO LEVY? IT TRULY IS WHAT FILLS THE GAP BETWEEN STATE BASIC EDUCATION FUNDING AND CURRENT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THE SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY AROUND EPO. IN 2018 IT WAS RUN AS THE MCCLEARY DECISION WAS BEING FINALIZED AS YOU KNOW THERE WERE LIMITS PUT ON THE LEVY AT THAT TIME AND IT WAS UNCLEAR WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD HOLD IN THAT REGARD AND SO KNOWING THAT THE FUNDING OUTLOOK WAS UNCLEAR BUT ALSO KNOWING AT THAT TIME WE HAD A HEALTHY BALANCE.

WE DID SEEK LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WAS AUTHORIZED FOR LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PLANNING FOR MCCLEARY WE DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH STATE FUNDING WITH LEVY AUTHORITY SO WE MADE INTENTIONAL DECISIONS TO GROW THE BALANCE IN PREPARATION FOR THAT SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT BALANCE AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THAT BALANCE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO NAVIGATE MANY CONDITIONS AROUND COVID-19.

THE USE OF THIS BALANCE DOES COVER THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE SHORTFALL THAT I JUST SHARED A COUPLE OF SLIDES EARLIER IN WHAT WE ARE CALLING A NEGATIVE FISCAL GAP.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AHEAD WE KNOW THAT THE EPO COLLECTION IS LIMITED BY THE STATE THE DISTRICT CAN COLLECT 2700 PER PUPIL OR $2.50 PER THOUSAND OF ASSESSED VALUE IN THE DISTRICT HAS TO SELECT THE LOWER OF THOSE AMOUNTS SO FOR LAKE WASHINGTON WE WILL SEEK 2700 PER PUPIL TO MAINTAIN THE CRITICAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR INCREASED COSTS OF PROGRAMS OVER TIME.SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE LAST FOUR YEARS WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF INCREASED COSTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN FIRST A NUMBER OF LEGISLATIVE MANDATES I DID NOT EVEN TRY TO QUANTIFY THIS BECAUSE SOME OF THESE ARE UNKNOWN WHAT THE ACTUAL OUTCOME AND TOTAL COST WILL BE THINGS SUCH AS THE PAID MEDICAL LEAVE

[01:15:05]

[01:20:08]

[01:25:04]

SO BEFORE I GET TO MY RECOMMENDATION AROUND CONSTRUCTION FUNDING I WANT TO TALK THROUGH A FEW DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT I THINK ARE APPLICABLE IN UNDERSTANDING THE LONG-TERM PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION IN LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT 23 OUT OF THE 29 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL BE ASKED OR OVERCAPACITY BY 2030 AND OVER 2600 STUDENTS WILL BE HOUSED IN PORTABLE CLASSROOMS BY THAT DATE AND THAT IS JUST ELEMENTARY ALONE. WE KNOW THAT FOR THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS 11/12 SECONDARY SCHOOLS WILL BE AT OR OVERCAPACITY WITH 1100 STUDENTS LEARNING IN PORTABLE CLASSROOMS AND JUST AS AN EXAMPLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE EXPERIENCE THAT ARE SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST YEAR ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD RELATIVELY STABLE ENROLLMENT AS A TOTAL SYSTEM WE KNOW HIGH SCHOOLS ARE GROWING RAPIDLY AS WE HAVE HAD WHAT WE CALL A BUBBLE A LARGER STUDENT GROUP ROLLING THROUGH THE SYSTEM THOSE GROUPS ARE NOW ENTERING HIGH SCHOOLS SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE GROWN IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS JUST BY ABOUT 400 STUDENTS THAT WAS OUR SEPTEMBER ACCOUNT WE WILL HAVE THE OCTOBER ACCOUNT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. I SHOWED THE SLIDE BEFORE BUT THIS IS A TELLING SLIDE THIS IS THE RAPID ENROLLMENT GROWTH THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS EXPERIENCED AS WE RETURNED FROM THE PANDEMIC WE KNOW ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT ENROLLMENT GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 10 TO 12 YEARS.

JUST THIS WEEKEND IN THE SEATTLE TIMES THERE WAS AN ARTICLE THAT TALKED ABOUT FIVE SEATTLE AREA NEIGHBORHOODS THAT CHANGE THE MOST IN THIS PAST DECADE AND REDMOND I BELIEVE THEY CALLED SOUTHEAST REDMOND AND THE BEAR CREEK AREA WAS ONE OF THOSE AREAS AND IN THE LAST NINE YEARS THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN LIVING IN THEM WENT FROM 29 PERCENT TO 46 PERCENT THAT'S IN ONE AREA WITHIN OUR DISTRICT WE JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE PURCHASED LAND WITHIN THAT REGION THAT IS RIGHT WITHIN THAT PROPERTY AREA AND SO IS JUST UNIQUE THAT THAT CAME OUT THIS WEEKEND BUT WE COULD PROBABLY LOOK AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PLACES ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND THIS IS A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE THAT WE ARE SEEING ACROSS THE DISTRICT. I WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD OF OUR HISTORY OF CONSTRUCTION FUNDING WE HAVE TRIED TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE TOTAL TAXES AND THE TOTAL TAX RATE WE ARE ASKING OF OUR COMMUNITY AND YOU CAN SEE INE I FROM A DOLLAR 22 $0.90 THAT WAS THAT CHANGE IN MCCLEARY LEVY REQUIREMENTS AND WHERE WE ASKED FOR LESS THAN FULL FUNDING FOR THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS LEVY YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN BAR AND 2019 THOSE ARE THE BOND DOLLARS BONDS BEING PAID OFF AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IN 2020 THERE'S A $0.28 CONSTRUCTION LEVY THAT WAS ADDED AND THUS THE 2019 CAPITAL PROJECT LEVY FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE A NUMBER OF REQUIRED PROJECTS AT LAKE

[01:30:02]

AND SO A COUPLE OF KEY FACTS ABOUT THE NEEDS OVER THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING TO NEED PERMANENT SPACE FOR 8000 STUDENTS AND I SAY 8000 STUDENTS NOT BECAUSE WE WILL GROW BY 8000 BUT IF WE ARE TO REDUCE OUR RELIANCE ON PORTABLE CLASSROOMS THAT MEANS PERMANENT SPACE CLASSROOMS WITHIN THE SCHOOLS WE WILL NEED SPACE FOR 8000 STUDENTS AND THAT'S AT THE PRESCHOOL LEVEL ELEMENTARY LEVEL OF THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS AND WE ALSO WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO REQUIRE PROPERTY AND IT COULD BE LAND OR IT COULD BE LAND THAT ACTUALLY HAS A PHYSICAL FACILITY ON SITE SO WE USE THE TERM PROPERTY A COUPLE OF KEY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT MY RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT THROUGH A LOT OF DIALOGUE DISCUSSION EVALUATION UPDATED

[01:35:05]

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW THAT THE CHEAPEST SCHOOL IS A SCHOOL BUILT TODAY AND SO HERE IS A HISTORY OF SOME OF THE COSTS AND YOU CAN SEE DOWN BELOW SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO DETERMINING COST YOU CAN SEE IN 2008 CARSON COST $26 MILLION AND ELLA BAKER AND CLARA BARTON THAT JUST CAME ONLINE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ALMOST DOUBLE THAT IN 10 YEARS HE CAN SEE THE ESTIMATES FOR NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS OVER THE COMING YEARS AT 63,000,020 23 AND $93 MILLION IN 2028 IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER AND UNDERSTAND AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT LONG-TERM PLANNING. YOU HAVE SEEN THIS VIEW IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT BUT THIS IS AS WE THINK ABOUT THE TOTAL COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND ALL OF THE PROJECTS REQUIRED IT REALLY IS IN A REVERSE ORDER FROM BOTTOM TO TOP HOW WE ARE THINKING ABOUT GOING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OR ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS PLAN DOES ACCOMMODATE THIS CONSTRUCTION THROUGH THE YEAR 2034.

SO FUNDING CONSTRUCTION WHILE CONSIDERING TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND OUR ORGANIZATION AND I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE BOARD AND WE DISCUSSED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT STRATEGIES TO BE ABLE TO FUND CONSTRUCTION AND THIS IS THE STRATEGY THAT WE LANDED ON KNOWING THAT AFTER THE 2024 BOND THE IDEA WOULD BE TO ADOPT A STRATEGY FOR LONG-TERM THE THINKING IS A RENEWAL OF THE CONSTRUCTION LEVY BECAUSE OF THE ASSESSED EVALUATION WE BELIEVE THAT SAY FUNDING A METHOD TO FUND THE ONGOING REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OVER THE LONG TERM SO THE THREE DIFFERENT MEASURES A LEVY IN 2022 A CONSTRUCTION LEVY IN 2024 AND THEN A RENEWAL OF THAT CONSTRUCTION LEVY IS THE CURRENT THINKING.

SO WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN OVER THIS TIME WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THERE ARE OLDER BONDS BEING PAID OFF THE 2019 CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION LEVY THAT WILL NO LONGER BE COLLECTED IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND SO THAT IS HOW WE THINK ABOUT THE LONG-TERM PLANNING AND HOW WE BUILD IN LEVY'S BONDS AND ANOTHER LEVY AND YOU CAN SEE THE CURRENT RATE FOR TOTAL CONSTRUCTION IN LAKE WASHINGTON IS A DOLLAR 15 AND SO HOME VALUED AT $1 MILLION THAT HOMEOWNER WOULD BE PAYING JUST OVER $1000 SO 1150 IN TAXES JUST FOR CONSTRUCTION IN LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT AS YOU CAN SEE THE 2022 ESTIMATE ACTUALLY REDUCES THE OVERALL TAX RATE FOR CONSTRUCTION SO THAT SAME HOME VALUED AT $1 MILLION WOULD PAY ABOUT 1080 IN TAXES AND THAT'S AN ESTIMATE WHAT WE KNOW THOUGH AS ASSESSED EVALUATION CHANGES FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY THAT MILLION DOLLAR HOME THAT ASSESSED VALUE ALSO PROBABLY WILL FOLLOW A

[01:40:10]

[01:45:07]

AND SO THESE ARE THREE LEVEES TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS THESE LEVEES I AM ALSO RECOMMENDING BE PLACED ON THE FEBRUARY 2022 SPECIAL ELECTION BALLOT SO TONIGHT THE BOARD WILL ENGAGE IN DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RESOLUTIONS THAT ARE IN YOUR BOARD PACKET AND THOSE RESOLUTIONS WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE OCTOBER 18 BOARD MEETING FOR BOARD ACTION.

THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION AND PRESENTATION ON THESE THREE LEVY MEASURES.

>> OKAY. SO I ALSO RECOGNIZE I WANT TO PUT OUT THERE FOR THOSE AT HOME THE BOARD HAS HAD I WAS TRYING TO DO THE MATH BUT I THINK IT'S UPWARDS OF 30 HOURS OF STUDY SESSIONS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS ON THIS SO THERE MAY BE SOME QUESTIONS THAT ARE OBVIOUS AND THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES AT THIS POINT BY VARIOUS BOARD MEMBER SO I DO

WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS >> I WILL ASK A QUESTION.

IT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION IT'S MORE OF A REALIZING THE TAX IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND BEING WILLING TO DO ADVOCACY ON THE AMOUNT THAT SENIOR CITIZENS HAVE TO BE UNDER IN ORDER TO GET THE TAX EXEMPTION SAME WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS 30 HOURS PLUS OUR OWN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH I DON'T SEE AT THIS POINT ANOTHER OPTION TO THE LEVEES THAT ARE COMING TO THE BALLOT. IS THAT ABOUT A $270 INCREASE

IN A YEAR IS THAT CORRECT? >> THERE WAS A SLIDE YOU HAD ASSESSED AT $1 MILLION I HOPE WHAT WE TAKE FROM THIS IS A COUPLE OF THINGS.E CHOSE NOT TO COLLECT THE MAX AMOUNT WHEN THE MCCLEARY DECISION CAME DOWN AND I THINK IN A PREVIOUS STUDY SESSION WE ESTIMATED IT WAS ABOUT 60 MILLION THAT WE DID NOT COLLECT BUT IN HINDSIGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE TO HAVE OVER THIS TIME BUT REALLY TRYING TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THE TAX BURDEN ON VOTERS AND NOT WANTING TO COLLECT THE MAX AMOUNT IF WE COULD AVOID IT I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT MOVING FORWARD AS I HAVE SAID IN MANY OF OUR SESSIONS, WE ARE TRYING TO UTILIZE WHAT YOU REFER TO AS PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS PUBLIC PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS SO THAT WE HAVE DIFFERENT FLEXIBLE OPTIONS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD CAPACITY FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE CAN'T, I DON'T THINK ANY DISTRICT CAN GO ON JUST BUILDING AND BUILDING NOT IN AN URBAN AREA WE HAVE TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH TO PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS.

>> AND JUST TO RESPOND TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION THAT INCREASE THAT I REFERENCED WAS $270

ANNUALLY. >> THINK YOU PRAY

[01:50:04]

>> DIRECTOR STEWART AND DIRECTOR CARLSON.

>> A QUICK QUESTION TO BE QUITE FRANK I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE MUCH IMPACT BUT I THINK THERE WILL BE A QUESTION FROM THE PUBLIC ASKING WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF STUDENTS GOING ONLINE FOR A WHILE WE HAVE ABOUT A THOUSAND RIGHT NOW IF I RECALL WHAT IMPACT IF ANY DO YOU SEE IN THE SHORT TERM OR THE LONG TERM FOR CAPACITY NEEDS AND IS THAT EVEN AN OPTION TO BE THINKING ABOUT AS WE LOOK FORWARD HEY HUNT I JUST WANT TO LAY IT OUT THERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S ON THE BACK OF EVERYONE'S MIND.

>> SO WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND STUDENTS LEARNING ONLINE RIGHT NOW AND THOSE ARE DATA THAT WE CAN SEE COME TO FRUITION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS I KNOW THAT WITH THE 5 TO 11-YEAR-OLD VACCINE DOES GET APPROVAL THAT WILL BE ONE WAY FOR STUDENTS WHO MORE THAN LIKELY RETURN TO WORK SCHOOLS AND WE ALSO KNOW THE RULES FROM THE STATE AROUND ONLINE LEARNING.

AND SOMEWHAT AT THIS POINT IT'S A BIT RIGID SO HAVING FLEXIBLE OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO LEARN ONLINE WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE STUDY SESSION TONIGHT STUDENTS LEARNING FULL-TIME ONLINE I THINK THERE'S A FUTURE THERE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE BUT TO YOUR POINT, WE BUILT A PLAN KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW TODAY AND IF WE WERE TO SEE MORE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF STUDENTS WANTING TO LEARN ONLINE WE WOULD ADDRESS THOSE PLANS BOTH EDUCATIONALLY BUT OUR FACILITY PLANNING AND FACILITY NEEDS. GREAT QUESTION.

>> SO I HAD A BIT OF A COMMENT TO MAKE FOR VIEWERS TO RECEIVED AN ASSESSMENT OR EVALUATION LAST WEEK WHERE YOUR HOME'S PROPERTY JUMPED BY 30 PERCENT THIS WOULD NOT NECESSARILY EQUATE TO A 30 PERCENT INCREASE IN TAXES IS ABOUT THE AVERAGE IF THE DISTRICT IS GOING UP THE ABSOLUTE AMOUNT YOU PAY WOULD STAY CONSTANT BECAUSE WE BORROWED A FIXED AMOUNT OF MONEY AS PART OF THE LEVY SO DON'T PANIC ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PREDICT WHAT YOUR TAXES WILL BE UNLESS YOU TEND TO HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S APPRECIATING MUCH FASTER THAN THE REST OF

THE DISTRICT. >> THAT'S A GREAT POINT DIRECTOR CARLSON. ONE OF THE NUANCES OF TRYING TO COMMUNICATE THIS WELL TO THE PUBLIC AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE SEEK A FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE BASED ON THE OTHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU JUST REFERENCED. GREAT POINT.

>> FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AND GIVING THE WHOLE OVERVIEW OF THAT THERE'S A FEW COMMENTS I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS WE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED I INCLUDE THE ÃI APPRECIATE THE INCLUSION OF THE LEVY RECOGNIZING THE DEMAND ON THOSE LEVY DOLLARS GOING FORWARD AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THERE HAS BEEN INCREASED COST WHICH IS REQUIRING THE INCREASE TO GO FORWARD SO WE CAN ENSURE THE EXCELLENT EDUCATION THAT OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE AND TO PURSUE THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES ON THE ANTIRACISM EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND BEING ABLE TO USE THOSE STRATEGIC PIECES THE EPO IS FINAL AND TO DO SO TO ASSURE WE CAN KEEP OUR STAFF AND PIECES IN PLACE AND TECHNOLOGY IT IS A KEY COMPONENT OF WHERE THE FUTURE IS WE ALL WORK ON THESE THINGS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THEY ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF OUR LIVES THESE ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR EDUCATION AND IT IS AN ITEM THAT CONTINUALLY GETS USED AND HAS TO GET REPLACED SO THE PROCESS OF DOING SO AS PART OF THAT CHALLENGE AND WE RELY ON OUR COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THAT AND THAT'S PART OF THIS REACH OUT AND CONSTRUCTION THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD SINCE 2012 THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING DURING THIS GROWTH AND TO THE

[01:55:05]

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE I BELIEVE THAT COMPONENT, WE LOOK AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND WHY WE LANDED ON 1/5 COMPREHENSIVE HEIST WAS A NECESSARY ARE HIGH SCHOOLS WERE GETTING TO 2400 STUDENTS IN RECOGNIZING THE IMPACT AND QUALITY OF EDUCATION ALSO IMPACTS TRANSPORTATION TO BRING STUDENTS TO THOSE LOCATIONS AND SO THAT'S WHERE THIS PIECE OF LOOKING FORWARD IS ÃWE GREATLY APPRECIATED THOSE THAT HAVE COME THROUGH OF THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP THIS IS OUR COMMUNITY IT'S A COMMITMENT THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION WE WANT A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY CAN LIVE LEARN WORK AND PLAY AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS HELPING TO SET UP TO ENSURE THAT LEARNING IS AVAILABLE IS AT THE LEVEL OF QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE EXPECTED BY OUR COMMUNITY AND IT IS ONE OF THOSE PIECES THAT GOOD SOLID PUBLIC EDUCATION DOES COME WITH COST AND OUR INFLATIONARY PIECES HERE HAVE MADE IT HARD WE ARE WORKING TO BALANCES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT PROCESS AND THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND HOW WE GO FORWARD.

I SUPPORT THE NEED TO DO SO. >> I THINK YOUR HAND WENT BACK

UP. >> YES SIR.

ONE THING I WANT TO LOOK AT AS TAXPAYERS WE LIVE IN AN AREA THAT HAS VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF OUR STUDENTS OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM YOU CAN'T COMPARE THIS TO STATES FAR AWAY YOU CAN'T COMPARE IT TO MY HOMETOWN THAT HAS 40,000 PEOPLE IN IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THIS IS REDMAN, KIRKLAND, AND THE AREA AROUND IT. THIS IS IN A VERY HIGH GROWTH AREA THERE IS NO GOING BACK AND WE ARE GROWING.AND IT'S REALITY AND I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO THINK ABOUT THE ISSUES OF HOW WHAT WE OFFER WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT BEING SHORT SHEETED IF YOU WILL ON STATE FUNDING TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, ÃWAS ADOPTED IN THE MID-70S THAT HAS NEVER BEEN FUNDED FULLY. THAT PAYS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND OTHER SERVICES AND I DON'T MEAN UP TO 90 PERCENT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PAID FOR MORE THAN 40 PERCENT SO A LOT OF THIS WE ARE HAVING TO SHOULDER OURSELVES BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIENDS NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY.

>> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER QUESTION OR COMMENTS? JUST TO RECAP THIS WAS THE FIRST READING OF THE THREE RESOLUTIONS. THOSE WOULD BE ON THE AGENDA ON OCTOBER 18 FOR A SECOND READING AND ADOPTION AND IF ADOPTED, THEY WOULD BE BALLOT MEASURES

WOULD BE ON THE BALLOT FEBRUARY >> SIXTH OR SEVENTH I BELIEVE. OKAY.

FOR THE COMMUNITY IF ANYONE HAS COMMENTS YOU CAN WRITE THE BOARD AT BOARD MEMBERS AT LW ST.ORG. AND THAT GOES TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE? >> IF YOU HAVE IDEAS WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD A FACILITIES TASK FORCE AND THEY WORK HARD AND THEY ARE DILIGENT BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE ARE NOT NEW IDEAS HEAVEN KNOWS A NEW IDEA

IS ALWAYS WELCOME. >> OKAY.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA IS REVIEW APPROVAL REPORT FOR RESULTS TO ACADEMIC

[02:00:06]

>> THANK YOU FOR READING MY MIND.

>> OKAY. >> NEXT ITEM: NONCONSENT AGENDA IS REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE MONITORING REPORT FOR RESULTS TO ACADEMIC CONTENT AND KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

CAN YOU GET US STARTED? >> ABSOLUTELY WISHES OSAKA THE BOARD RESULTS POLICIES WE TOOK ACTION ON RESULTS A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO AND ACADEMIC RESULTS OF THE STUDENTS KNOWING IN THE YEAR OF COVID TYPICAL ACADEMIC RESULTS NOT ALL OF THEM WERE AVAILABLE SO I WILL INVITE THE ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT TO SHARE OUR RESULTS PRESENTATION TO YOU AND PROVIDED OVERVIEW OF THIS MONITORING REPORT.

>> SO YOU BRIEF REMINDER SEVEN CORE AREAS OF ACADEMIC FOCUS FOR STUDENTS AND THE SUPPLIES OVER THE K-12 EXPERIENCE AND Ã MATH AND SCIENCE ETC. WE WILL SHARE MORE OF THESE INDICATORS THERE ARE SOME KEY POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND THE SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT WAS ADMINISTERED IN THE SPRING STATEWIDE SCIENCE ASSESSMENT WILL BE ADMINISTERED OUT OF SEQUENCE. AND ONE OF OUR MAIN INDICATORS THAT WE LOOK AT, THEY HAVE CONTACT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE STANDARDS WE DON'T HAVE THAT DATA THIS YEAR OR CURRENT CONDITION WE WERE DELIVERING ACADEMIC CONTENT REMOTELY JUST ABOUT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS WERE FIRST YEAR TEACHERS THINK ABOUT THE LIFESPAN OF THE TEACHER I THINK THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT STOOD OUT IN PROMISING VOLITIONAL VARIABILITY FROM BEING IN A REMOTE SETTING. THE OTHER KEY POINT AROUND I THINK ONE OF THE TAKEAWAYS WITH THE DATA BEING DIFFERENT THAN WE WOULD NORMALLY SEE IN ADDITION, WE ARE SEEING A POSITIVE TREND AND YOU WILL SEE IN A FEW MINUTES GRADES IMPROVED AS WE WERE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER MEASURES BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING TREND AND FINALLY WE CONTINUE TO SEE THE BIGGEST TAKE AWAY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE IN COVID AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE THOSE DISCREPANCIES AND SO WHAT I WILL DO NOW IS TAKE YOU BRIEFLY THROUGH THE SEVEN AREAS I WILL PUT UP THE LANGUAGE FOR THE INDICATOR AND THE GREEN ZONE WE SHOULD HIT OUR TARGET FOR THAT GROUP ALL OF THESE

[02:05:12]

[02:10:05]

COMPUTER SCIENCE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN OUR ELEMENTARY REPORT CARDS WE HAVE EDUCATORS SUCH AS THIS SO THERE IS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AND STUDENTS ARE SCORED OR GRADED ON A 1 THROUGH FOUR SCALE WE HAD WE HAD A 95 PERCENT TARGET WE ARE SEEING POSITIVE TRENDS AS WELL I THINK THE OTHER THING TO RECOGNIZE THESE GRADES WERE GIVEN ON ÃDURING COVID KIDS ARE USING INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY DURING REMOTE LEARNING SO THOSE ARE FACTORED IN. AND IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THIS YEAR'S DATA IS CHALLENGING. AND ALSO WE JUST TRACKED WITH I BELIEVE WE PUT THIS IN LAST YEAR THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS THAT USE MICROSOFT TEAMS ON A WEEKLY BASIS. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT WAS THE PRIMARY WAY IN WHICH STUDENTS WERE INTERACTING SO AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT 98 OR 99 PERCENT YOU SEE THESE QUESTIONS AROUND SOME OF OUR GROUPS AND YOU HAVE TO ASK WHAT WAS HAPPENING THAT WAS CAUSING THAT SO I THINK PART OF OUR WORK IS TO DIG DEEPER AND IF YOU SEE THESE TRENDS ACROSS SO MANY TYPES IN A WIDE VARIETY OF MEASURES FROM LOGGING ON AND BRIDGE ASSESSMENT TO A GRADE IN A CLASS YOU HAVE TO START ASKING WHAT'S GOING ON BUT THE GAPS ARE MUCH LOWER AND IN THE ARTS WE WERE LOOKING AT STUDENTS EARNING ART CREDIT STUDENTS CAN GO PAST THAT SO THEY CAN TAKE ART LATER ON IN THEIR CAREER BUT JUST TO SEE WHERE WE HARDLY WERE HITTING PRETTY HIGH MARKS ACROSS THE BOARD ENGLISH LEARNERS AND THERE ARE MANY FACTORS AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE TREND IS FOR MOST STUDENTS AND WE HAD PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS EARNING HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT AND WE ACTUALLY HIT TARGET FOR THE GROUP THERE IN THIS CASE WE WEREN'T SEEING THAT POSITIVE TREND AND AND IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN LEARN AND SIMILAR TREND AND PATTERN AND AND FINALLY I AM JUMPING AROUND HERE STUDENTS ACHIEVING ÃI KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY OF THIS IS ANOTHER ONE WE HAVE SOME DEBATE AROUND HOW MUCH OF THIS DO WE ENCOURAGE TO GO THROUGH THE STEPS AND THAT SOMETHING THAT'S PARTIALLY Ã NATIVE SPEAKERS AND SO WE ARE TAKING THESE ASSESSMENTS AND SOMETHING LEFT PARTIAL CONTROL OVER SOMETHING FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION THAT EXPLAINS WHY THOSE BENCHMARKS 25 PERCENT EVEN 19 PERCENT WERE CONSIDERED TO BE WHERE WE WANT TO BE ON TARGET. SO WHAT I WANT TO DO NEXT IS TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THOSE GAPS THAT WE WERE SEEING MY RACE AND DEMOGRAPHICS AND TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE GAPS WE WERE SAYING THEY FALL INTO

[02:15:12]

IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR THE TEACHERS AND OUR EQUITY EFFORTS ONE OF OUR KEY PRIORITIES IN YOUR THINKING THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP BUT WE DO HAVE GUARANTEED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR EVERY DISTRICT STAFF SO WERE NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT TEACHERS BUT ADMINISTRATORS WE ARE WORKING WITH TEACHERS AROUND THESE CONCEPTS OF CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING HOW YOU HONOR THE LANGUAGE OF THE EXPERIENCE IN THE BACKGROUND OF STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE YOU ARE FACTORING THAT IN AND FINALLY WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY IN FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PART OF OUR WORK PLAN AND CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THAT CONNECTION WITH OUR FAMILY AND SOME OF THAT AROUND FAMILY SUPPORTS IN FINALLY, SOME ONGOING IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT LIVE UNDER THOSE BUCKETS SO FOR EXAMPLE WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS ARE STRUGGLING IN LITERACY THERE GUARANTEED INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE APPLIED AND STUDENTS NEED THEM AND MONITOR AND WE HAVE NEW MATH CURRICULUM BOTH DESIGNED TO ADDRESS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OVERALL AND SHOULD IDENTIFY AND HELP US TO GET TO SOME OF THOSE BARRIERS AND GAPS WHERE C FOR THE FIRST TIME UNIVERSAL SCREENING IN LITERACY AND MATH AND ALSO MIDDLE SCHOOL THEY HAVE EVERY KID HAS AN ASSESSMENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW ABOUT THAT WE HAVE GOOD INFORMATION FOR WHICH WE CAN USE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND MEASURE PROGRESS OVER TIME IN ADDITION AS YOU THINK ABOUT

[02:20:04]

IT'S A LONG DAY >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DIRECTOR SAGE?

>> THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION DO WE HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO HOW CALM COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ART SEEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACROSS ALL STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS AND DOES ART INCLUDE BAND-AID

MUSIC? >> THAT ONE WILL HAVE A SEPARATE ÃIT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF ASSESSING STUDENTS AND MEASURING HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING AND I THINK THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN SLICE AND DICE IT AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN ONES AND I THINK AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL IF WE ARE THINKING ABOUT IT AND LIKE I SAID IT APPLIES LATER ON I DON'T KNOW I AM PROBABLY JUST GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF ASSUMPTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND HOW THEY THINK ABOUT THE CURRICULUM I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD GENERALIZE ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IF WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT AND FIND OUT WHAT IS OCCURRING THAT MIGHT WORK IN OTHER SUBJECTS. AND IF THAT TRANSLATES AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD LANGUAGE IT LOOKS LIKE THE DATA YOU SHOWED WAS FOR ONE FULL CREDIT OF WORLD LANGUAGE TO BE COMPLETE BY JUNIOR YEAR. IS THAT STILL 2 YEARS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO GET INTO

MOST STATE SCHOOLS? >> IT VARIES, I THINK 2 IS THE MINIMUM AND AGAIN THE STUDENT WAS MOVING IN THAT AREA AND ALSO STUDENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO WAIVE THE CREDITS BASED ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND PLAN SO THAT MIGHT BE FACTORED

IN AS WELL. >> I AM WONDERING IF WE ARE MEASURING IT AT THE RIGHT POINT BECAUSE IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO TAKE 2 YEARS OF WORLD LANGUAGE YOU DON'T HAVE TO START TO YOUR JUNIOR YEAR AND I HAVEN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO WAIVE ONE OF THE YEARS I AM WONDERING IF THAT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS AT EACH SCHOOL, CORRECT? STAFF HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED AND RECEIVE SOME TRAINING AND KNOW THE TYPE OF INTERVENTIONS THAT THEY CAN DO ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT WAITING FOR TEAM TO BE

DEVELOPED. >> AND HAVING SOME CENTRALIZATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION AND THE ONES FOR WHICH WE HAVE RESOURCES INCLUDE SOMETIMES THE NEXT GREAT THINGS TO ADDRESS LITERACY ACROSS THE DISTRICT LITERACY SUPPORT AND INTERVENTIONS SO WE SHOULD BE ASKING OUR TEACHERS TO USE THOSE FIRST PRIMARILY WHEN STUDENTS ARE RESPONDING TO THEM AND I WOULD SAY OUR WORK IS TO DEFINE MORE CONCRETELY WHAT THOSE SUPPORTS ARE THAT BEING SAID TEACHERS ARE FOLLOWING UP WITH EVIDENCE-BASED SUPPORTS IN MANY SCHOOLS BUT I CAN'T SAY IT'S IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR

CLASSROOMS. >> THANK YOU.

THINKING ABOUT INTERSECTION MALADY FOR A MINUTE. AND YOU HAD MENTIONED DIFFERENT CURRICULUM AND LITERACY APPROACHES I HAVE HEARD OF THE PHONE NO LOG MY FILMIC ÃA PROGR

>> SO I THINK THE LITERACY APPROACH WILL BE BASED ON HOW STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING WHETHER IT'S COMPREHENSIVE OR VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE SO YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE IS AN INTERSECTION MALADY IT MAY BE THE WAY THE TEACHER IS RELATING THE INFORMATION OR DELIVERY IT MAY BE IN THE WAY A STUDENT IS HAVING DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE THAT BEING SAID THERE IS RESEARCH THAT SAYS THESE EVIDENCE-BASED LITERACY PRACTICES ARE GOING TO WORK REGARDLESS OF THE STUDENT. SO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ASKED US TO DO A SAFER LITERACY THIS WORKS BUT WE KNOW WE NEED TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP SO LET'S OBSERVE THE CLASS ARE WE DELIVERING THE LITERACY INSTRUCTION THE RIGHT WAY WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP LOOK LIKE SHE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THIS MIGHT BE RELATED IF FOR EXAMPLE THE WAY THE TEST IS BEING ADMINISTERED IS NOT IN A WAY THE STUDENT FEELS SAFE THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE THE RELATIONSHIP PART SO THEY ASK YOU TO LOOK AT MULTIPLE VARIABLES RATHER THAN JUST ONE THING BECAUSE IF THAT RELATIONSHIP ISN'T THERE YOU CAN HAVE GREAT INSTRUCTION WITH THE STUDENT IS NOT HEARING YOU SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT BEHAVIOR FACTORS THE STUDENT MIGHT BE HAVING IN TERMS OF THEIR NEED TO HAVE ATTENTION AND LOOKING AT MULTIPLE PIECES OF DATA AND DECIDING WHAT THE APPROACH WILL BE SO WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY WE DELIVER THE MESSAGE WHILE WE ARE DELIVERING THE ASSESSMENT AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT OCCURS AT THE SAME TIME SO SOMETIMES I THINK THERE'S BELIEF THAT WE CAN USE SOMETHING LIKE WHOLE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE NAME OF AT THE WHOLE LANGUAGE APPROACH THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND THAT MAY BE NOT THE BEST APPROACH IF WE GO TO THAT SAYING WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT'S ALWAYS CHANGING THAT'S NOT A GOOD EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NOW WORK AT THEIR TRYING TO SEE HOW THEY PLAY TOGETHER I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE.

>> I MAY HAVE FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS ONCE I DIGEST EVERYTHING YOU TOLD ME.

>> I PUT A LOT OUT THERE. >> ALSO ON THE INCLUSION EFFORTS I ASSUME THAT THE SCHOOLS THAT WERE PILOTING THE INCLUSION WITH THE CENTER THAT

THOSE PROGRAMS ARE CONTINUING AND >> FOR THIS YEAR YES

>> HAVE WE BROUGHT ON BOARD IN THE OTHER SCHOOLS?

>> HERE IS THE CHALLENGE AND WE WILL ALLUDE TO THIS MORE IN THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT WE STARTED IN JUNE OR JULY OR AUGUST AND WE WERE PREPARED FOR THE WORLD WHO THOUGHT WE WERE MOVING INTO AND THINGS CHANGED RADICALLY OVER THE LAST MONTH OR TWO IN TERMS OF BUILDINGS NEED TO MANAGE CASES AND SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND SO IN MANY WAYS WE ARE WHERE WE WERE A YEAR AGO WITH THE COMPLICATION THAT STUDENTS ARE PERSON AND THE REASON I SAY THAT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT PACING AT WHAT WE HAD TENDED TO DO IN AUGUST SO WE ARE BUT WE ARE SLOWING DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE SCHOOLS ARE STRESSED RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PRINCIPLES AND OUR TEACHERS ARE IN A PLACE WITH A CAN ABSORB NEW INFORMATION SO THE ATTENTION WAS TO HAVE BY THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR ASSESSMENTS DONE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOLS TO GO OUT AND TEACH AND OBSERVE OTHER SCHOOLS TAKE A GROUP OVER TO TWEEN A GROUP OF PRINCIPLES MEET WITH CRAIG AT HALF CONVERSATIONS RIGHT NOW THE PRINCIPLES ARE SUPERVISING CLASSES AND THEY ARE DOING CONTACT TRACING SO WE ARE TRYING TO BE CAREFUL THAT WE DON'T SAY AND WE ALSO WANT YOU TO GO OVER MEET WITH THESE SCHOOLS AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM OUR PRINCIPLES ARE ALSO SAYING WE WANT TO BE DOING THOSE THINGS THOSE ARE IMPORTANT WE JUST NEED TO

FIGURE OUT HOW TO BALANCE IT IN THIS VERY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT >> SO THAT'S STILL THE GOAL TO

[02:30:03]

MOVE TO A MORE INCLUSION-BASED MODEL >> ADDING MORE SITES THAT ARE

TRYING THINGS OUT. >> OKAY.

THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO HEAR UPDATES NOW AND AGAIN ON THOSE EFFORTS.

>> PART OF OUR WORK IS TO DEVELOP A COMMUNICATION PLAN FOR DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS.

>> BY THE WAY IT WAS A GREAT SPECIAL ED PRESENTATION THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE SPECIAL ED GROUP PTS A MEETING AND SHANNON WAS ABLE TO RELAY A LOT OF WHAT SHE HAS DONE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT SHE HAS BEEN HERE AND I WOULD SAY ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN HEARING HER SPEAK TO IT CAN HOPEFULLY GO BACK TO THAT PRESENTATION AND WATCH IT.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT ASSESSMENT. SO THIS IS A NEW ASSESSMENT THAT WE ARE USING AND I HAVE IN MY HEAD I HAVE A MEMORY IN MY HEAD OF A PRIOR PRESENTATION THAT IT WAS SOMEHOW MORE ROBUST COULD YOU JUST RECAP IT AGAIN FOR THE BOARD AND FOR ME WHAT IT IS WHY WE WERE EXCITED AT THE TIME AND AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL I MAY HAVE A FOLLOW-UP

BASED ON THAT. >> LITERACY AND MATH WE DID HAVE A LITERACY ASSESSMENT TOOL THAT WE USE FOR SCREENING IN OUR YOUNGER GRADES AND SOME PROGRESS MONITORING, IT WAS CALLED DIBBLES. OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. WE USE THAT FOR YEARS. IT WAS GOING THROUGH ANOTHER CHANGE THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A NEW ASSESSMENT SYSTEM AND THEY WERE DOING SOME UPDATES SO WE ALSO KNEW WE NEEDED TO KIND OF CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS CONTINUING TO BE THE RIGHT TOOL GIVEN THESE CHANGES IF IT WOULD PLAY NICE WITH OUR SYSTEMS AND WE NEED ÃWE NEEDED A MATH ASSESSMENT AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT IN EVERY DISTRICT THERE HAS BEEN A MATH SCREENER AND PROGRESS MONITOR TOOL WE SAW THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY LET'S LOOK AT LITERACY AND MATH AND LOOK AT DIFFERENT TOOLS AND DOUBLES HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH A GROUP AND IT WASN'T AS TIGHT SO YOU HAD TWO DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND IN ADDITION THEY HAD SOME OTHER CHANGES AND SO THAT MADE US THINK MAYBE WE WANT TO JIG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO SOME OTHER TOOLS SO WE EVALUATED SEVEN DIFFERENT LARGE SCALE LITERACY AND MATH SCREENER'S AND PROGRESS MONITORS AND MANY OF THEM ARE GOOD THEY'LL HAVE SOME LEVEL OF ENDORSEMENT AND FROM DIFFERENT STATE AND NATIONAL GROUPS BUT WE ALSO WERE LOOKING AT SOME THAT PLAYED NICELY TOGETHER THEY CAME TOGETHER AS A PACKAGE AND SOME MAY BE FROM THE SAME PUBLISHER DIFFERENT INTERFACES AND WAYS OF CONNECTING WITH YOUR DATA SYSTEM AND WE WANTED SOMETHING THAT WOULD REALLY GIVE US GOOD DATA THAT WOULD SHOW GROWTH AND SO THAT WAS ONE THAT SHOWED GROWTH AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE APPRECIATED WE ALSO DID START TO POINT TO SOME OF THE EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS SO IF YOU ARE GETTING THESE KINDS OF RESULTS THESE MIGHT BE THE THINGS SHE WOULD USE OR CONSIDER SO THERE WAS AN ASSESSMENT OF EVALUATION TOOLS WE PILOTED THEM TRIED THEM OUT THE ÃGIVING US THE DATA THAT WE WANTED AND WE CONSIDER THE IMPACT AND HOW MUCH TIME IT WOULD TAKE A TEACHER TO GET THE DATA AND UNDERSTAND IT AND BASED ON THAT EVALUATION IT ROSE TO THE TOP AS THE BEST ASSESSMENT TOOL AND SO IT GAVE US A SCREENER AND PROGRESS MONITOR WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE AND THEY WERE CONNECTED

TOGETHER. >> SO IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I HAD A LOOK AT STUDENT A GROWTH

USING THE BRIDGE ASSESSMENT. >> STRUCTURALLY ITS BEGINNING MIDDLE AND END OF YEAR JUST LIKE DIBBLES USED TO BE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU THAT WAS MY QUESTION. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION BUT I WILL LET SOMEBODY ELSE GO. OKAY I WILL ASK MY QUESTION. SO I LOOK AT TREND OR ELA GRADING NINTH GRADE STUDENTS RECEIVING A C OR HIGHER ACROSS THE BOARD THERE'S GROWTH IN A POSITIVE TREND HAVE WE BEEN, PERFECT. ONE OF THE ISSUES, THERE'S LOTS

[02:35:05]

>> YES ONE IS INFORMALLY AND AS A CONVERSATION THAT I NOW OUR SECONDARY LEADERS ARE HAVING IN THEIR BUILDINGS AND THIS ONE THEY ARE DOING WITH LEADERSHIP TEAMS AND STAFF AND THAT MAY BE PART OF IT AT THE OTHER PART IS TEACHERS REALLY WERE HAVING TO DIG DEEP DURING REMOTE LEARNING TO CONNECT WITH THEIR KIDS MAKE SURE THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL AND I THINK THEY WERE JUST PUTTING IN SO MUCH CARE AND ATTENTION TO STUDENTS SO THAT IS PROBABLY A LITTLE PART OF THAT INCREASE I THINK IT'S PART OF THOSE TOGETHER AND SOME OTHER FACTORS AS WELL AS MAYBE SOME EQUITY WORK IN TEAMS AND CONVERSATIONS THEY ARE HAVING ABOUT GRADING.

>> THANK YOU. DIRECTOR ÃI THINK YOU WERE NEXT AND THEN DIRECTOR STUART.

>> SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THE QUESTION ABOUT THE TREND IS THERE A WAY WE CAN SEE THAT AS A LINE GRAPH SO I CAN SEE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR BECAUSE THE QUESTION IS IS THAT TREND ONLINE THAT JUMPED UP SUDDENLY OR IS IT OVER THOSE YEARS AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT FOR ALL THE YEARS JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA. ADD LOOKING AT THE OVERALL REPORT IS CLEAR THAT THE GAPS APPEAR TO FALL OUT CONSISTENTLY REGARDLESS OF SUBJECT AND EXCEPT FOR WORLD LANGUAGE AND ART BUT THE ONE PIECE ON WORLD LANGUAGE THAT I THINK WE SHOULD HIGHLIGHT IS THAT BY LITERACY THAT IS ALLOWING STUDENTS WHO HAVE A LIVED EXPERIENCE AND A CULTURAL SKILL TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT AND GET CREDIT FOR THAT FROM A MASTERY-BASED CONCEPT I THINK WE SHOULD BE PROMOTING THAT CONSISTENTLY ACROSS THE BOARD AND THAT THEY HIGHLIGHT COMPONENT AND AS A DISTRICT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE ENSURE MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCES FOR OUR STUDENTS THROW ADDRESSING WORLD LANGUAGES AT MULTIPLE WORLD AGENTS THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PIECES WE COULD SET A GOAL OF LITERACY FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH THE AP OPTION AND OTHER WAYS IS NOT JUST BEING A NATIVE SPEAKER AND A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH I THINK IT'S GREAT WE ARE USING THIS AND WE SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTING THIS IS HAPPENING SUDDENLY THE LL STUDENTS ARE SHINING THE LOW INCOME STUDENTS ARE OUTPERFORMING IN MANY WAYS IN THOSE REGARDS.

SO WE SHOULD BE, THE LATINO STUDENTS HONESTLY HOW DO WE BUILD ON THESE EXPERIENCES THAT IS THE KEY OF WHAT THAT DOES AND WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THAT AND DIFFUSE IT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT BUT TO ME, IT'S PROBABLY A DIFFERENT COMPONENT THAT'S BEING STUDIED MAY BE MORE GRAMMAR OR CONVERSATION I THINK THE MULTICULTURAL PEACE WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING AND I DON'T SAY BICULTURAL BECAUSE I BELIEVE MANY FAMILIES ARE MULTICULTURAL AND WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING THAT HOW WE LIVE IN A MULTICULTURAL WORLD AND WORLD LANGUAGE PROVIDES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY AND ONE OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS TONIGHT WAS SPECIFIC AROUND THAT SO I WOULD HOPE WE CAN LOOK AT HOW DO WE BROADEN ACCESS TO WORLD LANGUAGE ACROSS THE BOARD SO THAT MORE OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE CAPACITY TO GET THAT SEAL IN THE LONG RUN AND GOING BACK TO LITERACY I HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS ERIC DID AS TO HOW THEY LAID OUT I WILL SAY THAT DATA IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE I DON'T SEE A LOT OF CHANGE WITHOUT THE TRENDING PIECE REGARDLESS OF THE TOOL WE ARE STILL NOT SUCCEEDING AND I KNOW WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK A LOT OF WORK WITH DYSLEXIA AND ONE OF THE LARGEST DISABILITIES IN REGARD TO READING SO I AM CONCERNED THAT THAT IS STILL IS WHERE IT'S AT EVEN WITH THOSE EFFORTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AND I KNOW IT'S A NEW ASSESSMENT AT THE SAME TIME THE ASSESSMENT SHOULD MATTER BECAUSE IF IT'S READING IT SHOULDN'T MATTER IF I USE DIBBLES OR FAST BRIDGE IF THERE IS A GAP AND WE HAVE A LOT WE ARE NOT SUCCEEDING WITH

[02:40:07]

THERE'S WHATEVER THOSE OTHER PIECES ARE SO I APPRECIATE THE APPROACH WITH INCLUSION AND EQUITY TO THINK ABOUT IT FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT AND THE WHOLE CHILD STANDPOINT AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF HOW WE MEASURE THAT GOING FORWARD AND THINK ABOUT THAT PIECE. SO IN REGARDS TO I THINK IT'S REASONABLE PROGRESS THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS AGAIN AS WE TRY TO MOVE THIS TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE IT TAKES TIME BUT AT THE SAME TIME LITERACY SECOND GRADE THAT IS A KEY INDICATOR THAT WE HAVEN'T HIT.

>> A FEW QUICK COMMENTS I AGREE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS NOW WE HAVE A.K.A. TOOL BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE OF STUDENTS ÃYEARS FOR STUDENTS BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO FIFTH WE WERE REALLY GOING TO WORK TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD LITERACY SKILLS SO THAT'S THE VALUE WE HAVE THAT PLUS GROWTH BECAUSE WHEN TEACHERS SEE GROWTH THERE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES AND A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE LANGUAGE. I THINK IT'S WORTH REPEATING WE JUST RECEIVED B ÃWE JUST RECEIVED A HERITAGE LANGUAGE GRANT TO EXPAND THE HERITAGE LANGUAGE PROGRAMS THAT SPEAK A NATIVE LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO BE ON TRACK TO TAKE THE COMPETENCY ASSESSMENTS AND TO EXPAND THE JEWEL LANGUAGE PROGRAM WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MOVING UP INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT BECOMES A MODEL AND JEWEL LANGUAGE ACROSS THE DISTRICT WE HAVE SOME GRANTS AND SEED MONEY I THINK IT'S $160,000 TO DO WORK AROUND BOTH OF THOSE AREAS AND THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY I THINK IT WOULD BE WORTHY TO JUST HAVE ANOTHER, I NOW THESE ARE VERY LONG CONVERSATIONS BUT A CHECK ON INDICATORS IF THAT'S THE RIGHT TIME IF WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SECOND GRADE, FIFTH GRADE IT MIGHT GIVE US A BETTER PICTURE AND WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO SEE THE SAME PATTERN THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AREA

>> IT WILL BE NICE AS WE GO THROUGH I NOW FAST BRIDGE IS THE FIRST BUT BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT GROWTH WE FOLLOWED COHORT OVER TIME TO SEE THAT AND MAKE A MOVE ON DIFFERENT PIECES AND THAT BREAKS IT OUT SO THE WAY WE ARE BREAKING IT DOES HELP AND AS I SAID WHEN YOU SEE IT ACROSS EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT MATTER POTENTIALLY IS NOT THE SUBJECT.

>> WHAT YOU ARE ASSESSING. >> DIRECTOR STUART.

>> AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS I HAVE A RECALL OF WHEN THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKED ON THE NEW MATH CURRICULUM SPOKE AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY WERE APPLYING OUR EQUITY PROGRAM INTO IT AND ONE OF THEM EXPLAINED THE WAY YOU ASK A QUESTION HAS IMPLICATIONS AND DIFFERENT GROUPS HERE THE QUESTION DIFFERENTLY AND AGE YOU HAVE ASKED DIFFERENTLY, HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THE LITERACY PROGRAM? I AM ASSUMING IT MEANS MORE Ã THEN MATH BUT THAT'S MY BIAS AND HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO IT AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET OVER

IT? >> YOU MAY RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO WE INTRODUCED A PROGRAM THAT WAS WORKED INTO LITERACY CALLED SHELTER INSTRUCTION OBSERVATION PROTOCOL AND IT WAS DESIGNED FOR NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS AND THE THINGS YOU WERE JUST DESCRIBING WERE BUILT INTO THAT SO CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE APPROACHES SO THEY

[02:45:06]

BUILD UP OUR LITERACY PROGRAMS. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MONITORING REPORT RESULTS AS PRESENTED.

>> SO MOVED. >> SECOND.

>> MOVED BY DIRECTOR ÃSECOND BY DIRECTOR CARLSON THAT WE MONITOR THE RESULTS WHICH IS ACADEMIC CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AS PRESENTED. ANY ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS? SURVEY JUST TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WE ARE APPROVING PARTIAL COMPLIANCE.IS THAT CORRECT?

>> WE ARE APPROVING REASONABLE PROGRESS WITH EXCEPTIONS.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. >> MY MISTAKE FOR NOT HAVING SAID THAT PRAYER THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE REPORT AS PRESENTED REASONABLE

PROGRESS WITH EXCEPTIONS NOTED. >> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER

COMMENTS? >> I DO HAVE A FEW I WOULD LIKE TO JUST TOSS OUT. I DO THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE READING WORK READING INTERVENTION AND DYSLEXIA WORK KNOWING THAT THERE WAS LEGISLATION THAT CAME THROUGH AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SHIFTS THROUGH THAT SO TO BE ABLE TO DIVE INTO THAT MORE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT FALLS OUT THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS ON THE MATH CREDIT AND THIS WOULD FALL OUT WITH THE SCIENCE ONE WE HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT AT SOME POINT SHOULD IT BE SPECIFIC TO A TYPE OF MATH? I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ADDRESS THE INDICATORS AND DO THAT REVIEW IN SPEAKING WITH JOHN AND BEING ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THAT BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT MATH THEY ARE TAKING THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING AS OPPOSED TO JUST A GENERAL MATH OR SCIENCE BECAUSE THERE COULD BE HEADED BIAS IF WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT THAT COMPONENT AND ACCELERATED ACADEMIC IS WHERE IT WOULD LAY OUT SO THAT WAS ANOTHER PIECE THAT CAME TO MIND AND THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD AND THAT WAS IT. SO I AM HAPPY WITH THE REPORT AND WE SORT OF ÃI THINK WE NEED A GRAFT FOR THE TRENDLINE. IT'S TOO MUCH OF A POINT IN TIME IT DOESN'T SHOW A TREND OVER TIME SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER REQUEST I WOULD MAKE.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I WILL ADD I AM HAPPY TO SEE A REPORT WHERE WE ARE SEEING POSITIVE TRENDS AMONG THE GROUPS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR FIVE YEARS NOW IT'S NICE TO SEE SOMETHING WHERE IT'S MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND I THINK EVEN A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS IS A LOT OF STUDENTS AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE WE ARE MOVING THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE MONITORING REPORT AS PRESENTED AND THAT IS AS REASONABLE PROGRESS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SUTTER NOTED IN THE REPORT.

OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY VOTING AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT GREAT.

>> THERE NEEDS TO BE A BOARD STATEMENT AND I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT BASED ON THE CONVERSATION

[02:50:03]

>> BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU. OKAY.

[F. Superintendent Report]

>> YES I HAVE 2 COMPONENTS TONIGHT I WANT TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE AS TO OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION 14, THE BOARD ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 13 ANTIRACISM ANTIDISCRIMINATION EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN EDUCATION. AND SO AFTER THAT BOARD MEETING DIANE TOOK THE INFORMATION AND PUT INTO THE TEMPLATE FOR ME SO I COULD START DRAFTING LANGUAGE SO WHEN I GET THAT GROUP TOGETHER IT ISN'T JUST A BLANK SLATE BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING TO RESPOND TO AND TALK ABOUT AND DISCUSS AND ALSO DIANE SENT ME THE CONTACT LIST OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE LINKAGE OF SESSIONS SO NEXT WEEK I'M GOING TO SEND OUT COMMUNICATION SEEKING PARTICIPANTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO PARTNER WITH ME AROUND THE INTERPRETATION AND INDICATOR DEVELOPMENT AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS TARGETING END OF NOVEMBER TO BE ABLE TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE BOARD FOR REVIEW AND THAT'S WHERE I AM AT.

SO EXCITED TO GET THAT MOVE FORWARD AND I PUT ÃON THE MONITORING SCHEDULE FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR, THIS SPRING SO THAT IS, WE WILL GET IT FINALIZED AND MONITORED WITHIN

THE SAME YEAR. >> ANY QUESTIONS IN THAT

REGARD? >> I'M SURPRISED THERE WASN'T

ANY. >> THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING EVERYONE AND REACHING OUT TO THEM WITH REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE FURTHER.

>> I FIGURE THEY PROBABLY HAVE THE MOST ON THE GROUND KNOWLEDGE AND ALSO THE LAST LINKAGE GROUP I BELIEVE IT WAS CASSANDRA AND ERIC I BELIEVE YOU MET WITH A GROUP OF THE PROCESS SO I WILL INCLUDE THOSE INDIVIDUALS AS WELL. AND SO THE SECOND PART OF THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT IS A PATHWAY FORWARD UPDATE ADD MIKE REFERENCED IT IN HIS COMMENTS TONIGHT THE CHALLENGES THE SCHOOLS ARE FACING RIGHT NOW SO I ASKED MIKE AND MATT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE AROUND CASE MANAGEMENT AND THE TESTING COMPONENT THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT CASE MANAGEMENT IS POSITIVE CASES AND IDENTIFICATION OF CLOSE CONTACTS AND ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION AND DETERMINATIONS THAT HAVE TO GO INTO A SINGLE CASE AND IF THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT ARE VACCINATED THAT'S ONE PATH THAT YOU FOLLOW IF THEY ARE NOT VACCINATED, WE HAVE GOOD MASK COMPLIANCE SO NINE TIMES OUT OF 10. THAT CHANGES THE DISTANCE OF A CLOSE CONTACT FROM SIX FEET TO THREE FEET, WAS IT AT LUNCH WHERE THEY ARE UNMASKED SO ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE TO GO INTO IT AND THEN IT'S ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION THE FOLLOW-UP THE DOCUMENTATION AND THOSE ARE THE PIECES THAT MIKE WAS TALKING TO EARLIER AND ALONGSIDE OF THIS WE HAVE A SUB SHORTAGE AND ON A DAILY BASIS WE HAVE MULTIPLE POSITIONS THAT DON'T HAVE A SUBSTITUTE FOR IT SO OUR BUILDING LEADERS, ARE SPECIALISTS ARE HAVING TO DROP WHAT THEY TYPICALLY DO AND GO COVER AND THERE DURING LUNCH DUTY AND THEY HAVE TO SUPERVISE WHAT LUNCH LOOKS DIFFERENTLY THAN THEY HAD BEFORE AND THEY'RE RUNNING OFF TO COVER A CLASS AND A PAIR ÃAN EDUCATOR AND THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR SCHOOLS THE NURSES AND OFFICE PROFESSIONAL WORKING HARD

[02:55:05]

FORWARD. >> IT MAY BE TO START I THINK WE WILL ADDRESS THIS A LITTLE BIT AS WELL ALL OF THOSE DECISIONS, WE USE A WORKFLOW GUIDELINE AND THAT GUIDANCE EVOLVES LIKE THE GUIDANCE WE HAVE HAD SINCE THE START OF THIS PANDEMIC SO THE GUIDANCE EVOLVES WE NEED TO RESPOND TO THAT AS WELL BUT SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF WHAT DO WE DO BUT WE HAVE A STUDENT THAT HAS SYMPTOMS OF COVID WHICH COVERS A LOT OF SYMPTOMS THAT KIDS WOULD HAVE EVEN IF COVID WEREN'T HERE WHAT YOU DO WHEN THEY ARE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH YOU JILL AND ACTUALLY HAVE COVID HOW DO YOU FIND OUT THOSE THINGS AND GET INFORMATION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT THE RESPONSE THEY QUARANTINE ISOLATION OR IF THE STUDENT CAN COME BACK. THE REASON I MENTION THE EVOLVING GUIDANCES ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT JUST HAPPENED AT GREATER RELIANCE ON TESTING IN SOME WAYS IT WILL ALLOW US TO GET STUDENTS BACK SOONER THAN NOT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY AND HAVING THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE FAMILY AND THE STUDENT DOING THE DIGGING THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IF THEY DECIDE TO HAVE A TEST THAT'S THE CASE MANAGEMENT OUR FOLKS ARE WORKING THROUGH AND WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN MAKING SURE WE GET GOOD INFORMATION THAT WE CAN MAKE GOOD DECISIONS WITH THEM SO WE HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING TO TAKE OFF SOME OF THAT LOAD ON THE SCHOOL SO MAYBE A PRINCIPAL OR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AS CLOSELY INVOLVED IN THE CASE MANAGEMENT SO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT IS STRATEGICALLY ADDING STAFFING IN TERMS OF CONTACT TRACERS AS WELL AS ULTIMATELY WE WILL TALK ABOUT FOLKS WHO COULD DO TESTING AND THE IDEA IS WE TAKE SOME OF THE IMPACT SO THEY CAN DO Ã ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION AND BEHAVIORAL OBSTRUCTION SO KNOWING THAT WE HAVE THOSE INTERESTS WE PUT IN PLACE CENTRALIZED CONTACT TRACING RECENTLY WHICH HAS CREATED A BOTTLENECK IN TERMS OF NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY FIND OUT IF A STUDENT IS MAYBE SYMPTOMATIC BUT THEY HAVE IMPROVED AND THEY DON'T HAVE A FEVER AND THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST THAT GUIDELINES ALLOW US TO BRING THE STUDENT BACK BUT WAS CENTRALIZED CONTACT TRACING IT WAS TAKING THEM A WHILE BEFORE THEY COULD GET CLEARED AND THEN COME BACK SO PARENTS ARE SAYING I GOT THE NEGATIVE TEST I JUST NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE IN THE CONTACT TRACERS WERE WORKING THROUGH HUNDREDS OF PHONE CALLS SO WE RECENTLY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT WHERE WE PUT SOME OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY BACK IN SCHOOLS AND GAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO ASK A QUESTION IF THE SYMPTOMS HAVE IMPROVED AND IF THE QUESTION IS YES WE HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST THEY CAN SAY YOU ARE GOOD TO COME BACK WITH SOME INFORMATION TO THE CENTRAL TRACKING SYSTEM AND THAT SHOULD RELIEVE SOME OF THE BOTTLENECK AND JUST TODAY THE ÃIMPROVING ADDITIONAL CONTACT TRACERS MOST LIKELY THEY WILL BE STATIONED IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS SO THEY CAN HELP OUT WITH SOME OF THE CONTACT TRACING NEEDS AND YOU BROUGHT HER CONTACT TRACING SO WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE THE CASE MANAGEMENT PROCESS IS STREAMLINED AND EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE AND GET KIDS BACK IN BUILDINGS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND GET INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO QUARANTINE AND AS I MENTIONED THE NEED FOR MORE TESTING BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS BACK IN AND I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE POTENTIALLY IN THAT GROUP OF KIDS WHO MAY BE HAD A SYMPTOM IS RESOLVED AND THEY JUST NEED TO SHOW SOMEONE A NEGATIVE TEST SO WE COULD TAKE THAT OFF THE CONTACT TRACERS AND THAT MIGHT IMPROVE THINGS BUT WE NEED THE TEST AS WELL AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ANY FAMILY THAT WANTS THEIR KID BACK IT WAS A TEST CAN DO THAT IF THEY USE A COMMUNITY PROVIDER OR A DISTRICT SPONSOR

[03:00:03]

GOING FORWARD. >> AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IN THE DISTRICT WE PILOTED A TESTING MODEL IN THE SPRING HAD A NUMBER OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE USING A MODEL WHERE STUDENTS HAD TO HAVE MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS AND THEY WERE TRIAGING SYMPTOMS AND THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A TEST TO GET BACK INTO SCHOOL AND SO WE WERE BASING A LOCALIZED SCHOOL BY SCHOOL TESTING MODEL BASED ON THAT EXPERIENCE AND PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE CHANGE REQUIRING ANY STUDENT WITH ANY SYMPTOM A SINGLE SYMPTOM THAT NOW HAD TO GO BE OUT AND REQUIRED THE TEST TO COME BACK IN SO THAT GREATLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO NEEDED TO BE EXCLUDED AND A TEST WAS THE TICKET BACKEND WHICH IS WHY MIKE TALKED ABOUT SPINNING UP ORIGINAL MODEL BECAUSE AS JOHN TALKED ABOUT EARLIER SCHOOLS ARE UNDER A LOT OF STRESS TO KEEP UP HIM SO IT WAS REASONABLE AND WE HAD TRAINED SCHOOLS THAT WAS WITH A PRESUMPTION THAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING IT WITH THE STUDENT WHO COULD NOT ACCESS TESTING BY ANY OTHER MEANS AND THEY REGIONAL MODEL IS A SHORT-TERM POTENTIALLY LONG-TERM BUT A SHORT-TERM RESPONSE TO RECOGNIZE THE IMMEDIATE NEED I AM CURRENTLY IN TALKS WITH THE HEALTH COMMONS PROJECT TO HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS MANAGE A VARIETY OF TESTING PROGRAMS ONE THING THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR STAFFING SUPPORT WHICH WOULD POTENTIALLY GIVE US MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TESTING MODELS AND ALLOW US TO IF THERE SHOULD BE CHANGES IN PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE MOVING FORWARD AND ALLOW US TO BE A LITTLE MORE THERE IS A VENTURE THAT'S IN THE PROGRAM THAT CAN ESSENTIALLY OUTSOURCE THE ENTIRE PROGRAM WAS STAFFING AND SERVICE OF THE TESTING MODEL SO WE ARE EXPLORING THAT THERE ARE SOME TECHNICAL THINGS TO WORK THROUGH TO ENSURE THE WAY THAT THAT PROGRAM ALIGNS WITH OUR PUBLIC HEALTH EXPECTATIONS AGAIN THIS IS WORKING WITH THE STATE PROGRAM AGAIN WE ARE REALLY KIND OF REQUIRED AND EXPECTED TO FOLLOW PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDELINES SO WORKING WITH THE HEALTH COMMONS PROJECT ON EVALUATING THAT AS AN OPTION AND IF THAT MIGHT GIVE US GREATER CAPACITY TO INCREASE TESTING AND STUDENTS AND POTENTIALLY IT MIGHT ALLOW US TO ENGAGE IN SOME OTHER STRATEGIES FOR KEEPING STUDENTS WHO ARE HEALTHY OF OFF TO BE IN SCHOOL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO THESE ARE SOME ONGOING EFFORTS THAT I HOPE WE CAN WALK AROUND THE OPTION IN A WEEK OR SO TO SEE IF IT'S VIABLE OR NOT AND IF IT'S NOT WE WILL COME BACK AND BE FOCUSED ON A REGIONAL MODEL AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE ARE

[03:05:03]

>> THANK YOU FOR SHARING TONIGHT I THINK THE OTHER PIECE IS WHERE USING A NEW CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH THE SYSTEM IS GROWING ACCUSTOMED TO THAT WE WILL ALSO PRODUCE A NEW DASHBOARD VIEW FOR US AND I BELIEVE THAT'S A PUBLIC VIEW THAT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS IT STILL BE DEVELOPED AND WORKED ON WITH PARTNERS.

>> SO OUR CURRENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN WE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF MANUAL CALCULATIONS AND DATA AND THAT WE COMPILE IT AT THE END OF EACH WEEK SO IT'S VERY LABOR-INTENSIVE AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MICROSOFT FOR THE RETURN TO SCHOOL THEY HAVE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HEALTH SERVICES TEAM AND TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS TEAM HAVE BEEN WORKING TO CUSTOMIZE THAT BASED ON THAT A WEEK AGO SO WE ARE GETTING DATA INTO WHICH IT HAS BEEN HAS HAD SOME CHALLENGES THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE DETAILS TO GET UP AND RUNNING THAT TEAM IS TURNING THEIR ATTENTION TO THE DATA DISPLAY THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO USE TO HAVE A NEW PUBLIC FACING COVID DASHBOARD THAT WOULD GIVE OUR COMMUNITY A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA THAN WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THAT INVOLVE THE TECHNICAL WORK WILL BE DONE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> SO I CAN IMAGINE THE SCALE OF THE EFFORT THAT'S REQUIRED HERE IT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ANY SYMPTOM IS ENOUGH FOR A KID TO BE EXCUSED FROM COMING BACK UNTIL THEY CAN TESTS WE ARE COMING INTO FLU SEASON AND I AM CURIOUS ABOUT A COUPLE OF DETAILS ON THIS BUT I JOHN'S WANT TO DOWNPLAY THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM THEY WERE TRYING TO GRAPPLE WITH SOME MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IF YOU HAVE A KID WHO TRIGGERS THE SYSTEM AND THEY HAVE A FEVER WHEN DOES THE CONTACT TRACING KICK IN? DOES IT ONLY HAPPEN IF THAT KID IS CONFIRMED COVID POSITIVE OR ANY KIT WITH THE FEVER HAS TO BE CONTACT TRACED?

>> NOT CONTACT TRACED BUT I WAS THINKING THE CONVERSATION IS WHAT ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS? IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER A CONTACT TRACE THE STUDENT MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD SYMPTOMS THE DAY BEFORE SO THAT'S MAYBE WHY SOMEONE NEEDS TO TALK TO THEM

>> SO THAT MAKES SENSE BUT WHEN IT GETS TO THE SCALE WE HAVE A KID WHO'S GOT A POSITIVE CASE THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL WE ARE FAR ENOUGH IN THAT THE KIDS WHO WERE SENT HOME BECAUSE THEY WERE EXPOSED WE PROBABLY HAD 50 KIDS WHO SHOWED UP MY FIRST WEEK WE HAVE HAD A THOUSAND KIDS I AM MAKING UP A NUMBER BUT AS A BALLPARK WHO GOT SENT HOME FOR 14 DAYS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN CLOSE CONTACT HOW MANY OF THOSE KIDS HAVE TURNED UP POSITIVE?

>> WE ARE PULLING THAT DATA I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A SMALL NUMBER HONESTLY BUT WE DO

HAVE IT. >> IS JUST THAT THAT IS SOMETHING I AM THINKING NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT A DASHBOARD TO INFORM THE LOCALS BUT TO TURN AROUND TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES.F THESE MASKS ARE WORKING HALF AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD BECOME OUR KIDS ARE BETTER AT WEARING MASKS THAN ANY YAHOO BEHIND WITH A GROCERY STORE AND I AM SURE WE WILL BE DOING A GOOD JOB OF SHUTTING DOWN TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF PLAYING BY THE RULES ARE GETTING BETTER AT TEST IN TRACE WE CAN USE OUR DATA WE ARE BIG ENOUGH THAT HOPEFULLY WE COULD GO BACK AND SAY LOOK. THE NUMBER OF KIDS WE'VE GOT WHO WERE IN THE KNOWN EXPOSURE IN THE CLASSROOM IS SLOW ENOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION. WE WILL HAVE THE SCALE THAT I IMAGINE ESPECIALLY FOR COLLECTING DATA OR THE CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO SPEAK TO THAT AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE FOR US TO GO BACK TO THEM AND SAY LOOK WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED EVERYTHING IN HERE IS WHAT WE

[03:10:07]

SOMETHING. >> THE PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE DOES ALLOW YOU TO SAY IF WE ARE GETTING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING I THINK YOU COULD MAKE A CASE THAT WE COULD WORK WITHIN THE GUIDANCE THAT WE HAVE.

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INTERPRET OUR OWN DATA WE DON'T NEED TO USE STATEWIDE DATA WE HAVE A BIG ENOUGH SAMPLE WE CAN LEARN ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY. GREAT JOB GUYS HUGE EFFORT AND I CAN'T IMAGINE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE ABLE TO GET ANYTHING ELSE DONE.HY ARE YOU GIVING US A PART TO REPORT ON THIS BY ITSELF IS A FULL-TIME JOB AND 1/2. SO I'M VERY IMPRESSED THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THIS AT ALL AND GET OTHER WORK DONE.

>> IT SPEAKS TO OUR TEAM ARE HEALTH SERVICES TEAM OUR STUDENT SERVICES TEAM JANET IS INVOLVED IN THIS SHE IS INTERVIEWING SECRETARIES OR CONTACT TRACERS AND YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE IN A SEVERE NURSING SHORTAGE RIGHT NOW.

>> THANK YOU TO EVERYONE I KNOW IT'S A HUGE BURDEN SO THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THOUGHT I SAW ANOTHER HAND.

>> CAN I SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK WITH GUIDANCE AND YOU ARE BASICALLY SETTING UP PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS AND THAT'S 30,000 KIDS PLUS THE STAFF ON TOP OF IT SO THAT'S A LOT OF EFFORT SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO DO THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING VACCINE CLINICS AS WELL THAT'S HIGHLY BENEFICIAL IN BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT KEEPING OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY SAFE SO THANK YOU.

>> ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT. DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH ON VACCINE

CLINICS? >> I THINK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COVID VACCINE CLINIC WE ALSO HAVE A FLU VACCINE CLINIC IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS GOING ON AND WE WERE TRYING TO DO CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION CLINICS IT DIDN'T COME TO FRUITION I DON'T BELIEVE THEY RECEIVED THE PRODUCT SO THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT.

YOU JUST WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE VACCINE CLINICS AND HOW YOU ARE SPENDING THAT UP?

>> LAST SPRING WE ENTERED INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SEATTLE VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION AND THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD PARTNERS FOR US BECAUSE THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP SPIN UP CLINICS SO THEY RAN MASS VACCINATION CLINICS LAST SPRING WHEN THE 12 TO 17-YEAR-OLDS WERE APPROVED FOR THE PFIZER VACCINE AND WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND THOSE UP IN ABOUT A WEEK AND AND A HALF OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND THEY ACTUALLY ARE RUNNING EIGHT DIFFERENT FLU CLINICS ACROSS THE DISTRICT RIGHT NOW COUPLE EACH WEEK AT DIFFERENT LITTLE SCHOOLS AND THEN WE ARE PREPARED TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN WEDNESDAY 5 TO 11-YEAR-OLDS ARE APPROVED AND OUR TARGET WOULD BE WHEN THAT ANNOUNCEMENT OCCURS CERTAINLY WITHIN 2 WEEKS IF WE CAN GET IT WITHIN A WEEK AND AND A HALF TO HAVE AT LEAST SOME VACCINATION CLINICS ONE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE DISTRICT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE DISTRICT THE RISK AND SAFETY SERVICES TEAM HAS GOTTEN GOOD ABOUT FIGURING OUT THE LOGISTICS AROUND MAKING THAT HAPPEN AND IN THE SPRING WE ALSO TRIED TO HAVE INTERPRETERS AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN NOTICE DIFFICULT BECAUSE HIS HEALTH INFORMATION THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S SHOWING UP TO BE ABLE TO TIME IT AS WELL BUT CERTAINLY WHEN THAT COMES THROUGH WE WILL BE ON THE PHONE WITH THE CEO AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH HAS ALSO BEEN A PARTNER IN TRYING TO HELP US COLLECTIVELY THINK THROUGH THAT HELP ASSURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO SUPPLY BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT WILL BE READY TO GO WHEN THAT

[03:15:03]

ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE. >> I AM GOING BACK TO THE OVERALL VACCINE CLINIC WE TRIED AND STUMBLED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF PRODUCT YET WE ALSO PROMISED OUR PARENTS WERE GOING TO DO THIS DO WE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF TRIED TO LOOK AT

WHAT WENT WRONG? >> I THINK MAYBE WE NEED TO CLARIFY THE DIFFERENT CLINICS THERE IS A FLU CLINIC AND THERE IS A COVID AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> THAT'S MY POINT. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND I DON'T WANT TO ABANDON IT IF WE CAN GET THE PRODUCT WE CAN GET THE SERVICES TO BE QUITE FRANK WITH EVERYBODY AVOIDING DOCTORS OFFICES I THINK IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE CONTINUE TRYING THIS NOT LIKE WE ARE RUBBING AGAINST A LOCKED DOOR AND WE DON'T GO THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW I WOULD HATE TO ABANDON IT BECAUSE WE HAD ONE FAILURE BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE SWIMMINGLY WITH THE OTHER VACCINES GOD FOR BID KIDS DON'T GET THEIR MEASLES VACCINE.

>> DID YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT? >> A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS SOME OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE HAD LARGE POPULATIONS OF STUDENTS WHO WERE MISSING VACCINES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE MIDDLE LEVEL OF 12-YEAR-OLDS MIGHT BE SHORT OF THE BOOSTER AND THAT IS SOMETHING SOME SCHOOLS ARE MOVING TO DO SOME SMALL CLINICS AND APPROVED A CONTRACT THE OTHER DAY FOR DOING ONE OF THOSE AND THE PARTNERSHIP WE HAD WITH ALLEGRA PEDIATRICS THERE'S CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT RESULTING IN THE SUPPLY ISSUE THAT THEY RAN INTO AND AGAIN, WE ARE TRYING TO PARTNER WITH HEALTH PROVIDERS BECAUSE PROVIDING VACCINATIONS IS NOT PART OF OUR SERVICE DELIVERY SO THAT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT IT FELL THROUGH BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE CONVERSATION HAS STOPPED IS THE RECOGNITION THAT CHILDREN HAVE HAD STRUGGLES ACCESSING THEIR NORMAL IMMUNIZATIONS

>> A LOT OF FAMILIES PUT THOSE OFF TRYING TO AVOID THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE I CAN GO TO A LESS ÃENVIRONMENT AND GET THEM.

>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT?

[G. Public and Community Affairs]

>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS COMMUNITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS UPDATE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT TONIGHT?

>> AT THE STUDY SESSION WE LOOKED AT LAST YEAR'S LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AND DISCUSSED THE ADDITION OF A COUPLE OF ITEMS AND PERHAPS THE REWRITE OF SOME OTHER ITEMS AND TAKING AN ITEM OUT SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE REINVENTING THE WHEEL FOR THE PLATFORM.

[H. Closing Items]

>> GREAT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING FOR TONIGHT? DIRECTOR SAGE.

>> SO DURING THE STUDY SESSION WE TALKED ABOUT THE LINKAGES THAT WE HAD WHILE WE WERE DEVELOPING THE EQUITY POLICY AND I WANT TO REITERATE THE NEED FOR CONTINUOUS TWO-WAY CONVERSATION WITH COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY WITH STUDENTS. WE DON'T REALLY HEAR A STUDENT VOICE COMING THROUGH QUITE ENOUGH IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO HEAR STUDENTS EXPERIENCE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND AS WE GET READY TO MONITOR AND JUST A REMINDER THAT ON AUGUST 23 WE HAD A GROUP OF STUDENTS COME TO US REQUESTING TO DEVELOP GOALS TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSION AND I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM US SO I'M HOPING WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION COMING UP IN SUPPORT OF LINKAGES I AM WONDERING IF THE BOARD CAN GET AN UPDATE ON THE EQUITY TEAM THE DISTRICT EQUITY TEAM AND WHAT THE CURRENT ROLE IS AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR THIS YEAR THANK YOU.

[03:20:02]

>> FOLLOWING UP, WE HAD STUDENTS HERE SINCE AUGUST 23 THEY PRESENTED TO THE BOARD, CALLING ON THE BOARD TO REDUCE THE CLIMATE IMPACT AND WE HAD SOME FOLLOW-UP SINCE THE FROM THE SAME STUDENTS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. I AM WONDERING IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT A STUDY SESSION AND IF THE BOARD WERE TO DO SOMETHING AT A POLICY LEVEL WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. ONE OPTION OR IDEA IS Ã COVERING FACILITIES CURRENTLY SAYS NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE FACILITIES AND THE CLIMATE SO IF THAT'S AN INTEREST THE BOARD HAS AND POTENTIALLY FOLLOWING UP WITH LINKAGES WITH STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT IT OR COMMUNITY GROUPS TO LOOK AT THE POLICY AND IF ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS OR SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO.

I THINK AT FIRST WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION TONIGHT AT 10:20 PM MAY NOT BE THE TIME BUT YOU HAVE A DISCUSSION AROUND IF WE WANT TO, IF THE BOARD WANTS TO HAVE THIS AS A PRIORITY BECAUSE EVEN IF WE DO THAT LITTLE PIECE IT WILL BE A LOT OF TIME AND RESOURCES.

>> THIS WOULD SEEM LIKE SOMETHING TO PUT ONTO THE STUDY SESSION WHERE WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT BOARD WORK PLAN THAT THIS WOULD BE INCORPORATED THERE.

>> AGREED. I WROTE THAT DOWN.

>> NO ONE IS VIGOROUSLY SHAKING THEIR HEADS NO SO WE WILL GO FORWARD WITH THINKING ABOUT

THAT. >> IF I CAN JUST ADD ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO I INITIALLY MADE CHANGES TO THE POLICIES THERE'S A SLIGHT CHANGE INCLUDING SUSTAINABILITY SO THERE WAS SOMETHING BROUGHT UP ABOUT IT AT ONE POINT BUT THAT WAS NOT THE DESIRE TO INCORPORATE IT STRONGER AT THAT POINT IN TIME SO NOW I WOULD SUPPORT THOSE APPROACHES TO BE ABLE TO DO SO.

>> OKAY. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS TONIGHT? DIRECTOR STUART? YOU WERE ON MUTE.

>> WE HAD A CONVERSATION EARLIER WE TALKED ABOUT HAVE WE NOT LOWERED OUR TAX RATES WE WOULD'VE HAD 68 NUMBER OF DOLLARS MORE $60 MILLION MORE IN OUR COFFERS TO THAT EFFECT I THINK IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE CONSCIOUS OF THE DOLLARS WERE ASKING FOR BUT WE ARE CONSCIOUS OF THE WAY WE ARE SPENDING THEM I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY WE HAVE HAD REPORTS ON THE FINANCES WE HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE TOP DISTRICTS IN THE STATE IN THAT RESPECT I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO SLAP OUR HANDS TOO MUCH FOR DECIDING TO TRY TO HELP OUR LOCAL HOMEOWNERS BY KEEPING IT AT A LOWER RATE BECAUSE WE PROTHE BE GOING INTO THE PANDEMIC THE MOST OF THE OTHER DISTRICTS I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE

SLAPPING HER HANDS TOO MUCH. >> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS TONIGHT? 10:30 PM. WE ARE AT THE END OF THE AGENDA. THE NEXT BOARD MEETING IS OCTOBER 18, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY, 5 PM STUDY SESSION MEETING TO BE HELD REMOTELY FOLLOWED BY A BOARD MEETING AT 7 PM ALSO TO BE HELD REMOTELY.
