[C. Recognitions]

CARRIES. >>> THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS SOMEWHAT SELF-SERVING.

WE HAVE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT IS NAMED BY THE WASHINGTON STATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

DR. HOLMES WILL YOU PLEASE COMPLIMENT US. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF ADDING AN AGENDA ON THIS MEETING. I REALIZE THE BOARD DID NOT ASK ME TO PLACE THIS ON THE ASOMAGENDA BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT BEING RECOGNIZED IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON BUT PROVIDE CONTEXT FOR WHAT THAT MEANS AND TO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THIS BOARD DID DURING THE 2021 SCHOOL SEASON WILL BE AN HISTORIC SCHOOL YEAR THAT THEY ALL LOOK BACK ON SO WASDA AS THEY REPORTED OUT AND TALKING ABOUT HISTORIC CHALLENGES IN BRINGING BACK STUDENTS BACK SAFELY AND CREATIVELY. GIVEN THE OBSTACLES DISTRICTS HAVE HAD TO FACE THIS IS A DIRECTOR OF LEADERSHIP TRISHA, SHE STATED I THINK BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY BOARDS THIS YEAR TO A DEDICATION OF OUR SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

THE BOARD THAT IS BEING HONORED MUST BE REFLECTED IN THE NEEDS AND FAMILIES AND RELIED UPON ON CAREFUL ANALYSIS ON DATA INDICATED THOSE NEED. THE ANNUAL BOARD OF DISTINCTION IDENTIFIED EFFECTIVENESS OF SCHOOL BOARD STANDARDS THAT LEAD TO HIGH LEVELS OF STUDENT DISTRICT ACHIEVEMENT AND HELP CLOSE GAPS THAT IMPACT STUDENT'S SUCCESS.

>>> AND SO IN THE BOARD'S SUBMISSION, THERE WERE KEY CATEGORIES THAT THE BOARD WAS REQUIRED TO REPORT ON AND I JUST WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THOSE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE THINK ABOUT THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DID LAST YEAR BECAUSE ONE OF THE AREAS IS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE BOARD HAS COMMITTED TO IDEAL LEARNING AND FOCUSING ON EQUITY AND LAST YEAR THE BOARD MET WITH THE PUGH JIT SOUND AND EXCUSETIVE DIRECTOR OF EQUITY AND EDUCATION FOR SIX DISTINCT SESSIONS FOCUSSED ON INTEREST OF EQUITY AND PART OF THAT WAS YOUR

[00:05:01]

THE NEXT PIECE IN THE SUBMISSION WAS ABOUT CLOSING OPPORTUNITY GAPS.

AND THIS BOARD WAS VERY UP FRONT ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND US AS WE THOUGHT ABOUT STUDENTS LEARNING IN PERSON. YOU BALANCED HEALTH AND EQUITY FOR NEEDS IN PERSON AND VIEW YOUR DIRECTING AND GUIDANCE AROUND THAT WHEN I THINK ABOUT REGIONAL IS ONE OF THE MOST FORWARD FACING AND KNOWING THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST DISTRICTS LEARNING FOR MANY OF THE STUDENTS THAT PROVIDED FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION LEARNING, YOU AS A BOARD PROCLAIMATION MAKING SURE EVERYONE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL UNDERSTOOD THAT THE GOVERNOR' PROCLAMATION WAS NOT A CEILING AND WAS OUR BOARD STRIVING FOR WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE BECAUSE YOU KNEW THERE WAS BEST FOR STUDENTS AND YOU ALSO PROVIDED BEST FOR PARAMETERS IN MAKING SURE WE HAD THE HIGHEST IN HEALTH AND STUDENTS FOR THE STUDENTS AND SAFETY AND STAFF IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE THIRD WAS REALLY IDENTIFYING A BENCHMARK WITHIN THE SCHOOL BOARD STANDARDS THAT YOU WORKED TOWARDS AND THE SUBMISSION REALLY FOCUSSED ON THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS AND THE ALIGNMENT TO STRATEGIC EFFORTS AND THE TO ALIGNMENT TO THE COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS AND EQUITY AND IN THAT IT REALLY WAS ABOUT HAVING TR TRANSPARENT PROCESS AND MOVING FORWARDS WHERE YOU CAN HAVE HIGH LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE. SO I PUT IT ON THE AGENDA BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU SPEAK FOR ONE BODY. FIVE INDIVIDUALS WORKING FOR ONE BODY FOR A COLLECTIVE VOICE, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART FOR OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT TRUE DID HELP LEAD OUR ORGANIZATION THAT LEAD THROUGH ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING YEARS.

AND FOR THAT, I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP FOR LAST YEAR AND IT IS NOT SURPRISE TO ME THAT IN YOUR SUBMISSION AND APPLICATION,

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED AS A BOARD OF DISTINCTION. >>> THANK YOU, DR. LYNN.

[D. Audience Participation]

>>> SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS PUBLIC COMMENT. >> THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WELCOMES THE PUBLIC MEETING TO THE BOARD AND ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

>>> THE BOARD DEDICATES 30 MINUTES AT MEETINGS TO HEAR FROM THE MEETING TO HEAR FROM PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. AS A REMINDER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO WAYS TO SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT. AND THE FIRST IS IN WRITING. ALERT DIANNE AND SHE THEN COMPILES ALL OF THOSE MEETINGS AND THE BOARD IS DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE VIEWER'S MEETING.

DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, IT'S SUBMITTED AND THEY WILL HAVE THEIR STATEMENT READ.

PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE OFFERED IN THE ORDER IT WAS RECEIVED. PLEASE E-MAIL DIANNE JENKINS ON THE DATE OF THE BOARD MEETING DLJENKINSPUBLICMEETING.ORG AND MICROSOFT LINK TO JOIN PUBLIC COMMENT. YOUR COMMENTS ARE RECORDED AND TELEVISED AND PLEASE LIMIT THEM TO 3 MINUTES PER PERSON. WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR TELEVISED PUBLIC COMMENT AND I

DID RECEIVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PUBLIC COMMENT. >> I WILL READ THOSE ALLOWED AND

IF ANOTHER BOARD MEETING CAN ALSO PULL UP A COPY, OKAY GREAT. >> SO I WILL READ THE FIRST AND I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO READ THE FIRST AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

>>> THE FIRST WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT WAS FROM WASHINGWASHING WASHINGTONATIONS WASH WASHINGTON ASIANS FOR EQUALITY. AND IT READS AS FOLLOW, THIS PASSED SENATOR WAGNER WHOSE WIFE IS TAIWANESE AND CHINESE SPONSORED 6'2, LET ME GET THAT

[00:10:07]

IT'S A BIPARTISAN BILL CO SPONSORED AND THE SENATORS ARE AMONG THE BILL'S CO SPONSORED.

THE BILL PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. IT DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CUTOFF.

AT THE COMMITTEE HEARING, BELL VIEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS JOHN HARRISON SIGNED UP IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL. WE'RE HOPING THAT LAKE WASHINGTON CAN SUPPORT THIS BILL THIS COMING LEGISLATION AND ADD THIS FOR THE PRIORITY OF THE BILL. THIS MEANS A LOT FOR CHINESE AMERICAN STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. STUDENTS WORKED FOREVER ON A FLASH CARD PROJECT AND WE'RE

HOPING TO SHARE THEM FOR THE DISTRICT FUTURE. >> THAT WAS THE WRITTEN PUBLIC

COMMENT. >> IS SOMEBODY ELSE WILLING TO READ THE NEXT.

>>> SURE. AWESOME. >> SO WE RECEIVED THE NUMBER OF E-MAILS ABOUT THE NEW POLICY GRADING. FIRST IT'S PRESIDENT SALLY BLACKMAN. AND IT'S UNCLEAR WHY IT WAS NOT PUT ON AN ASSIGNMENT FROM THE HOMEWORK. AFTER THE PANDEMIC WAS A BAD TIME TO START SUCH GRADING SYSTEM NOT ONLY FOR CHILDREN. PARENTS WERE NEVER CONSULTED AND I HOPE THIS CAN CHANGE STARTING NOW. PLEASE SET OUT A DISTRICT COMMUNITY WHO, WHEN AND WHY THIS POLICY WAS DECIDED SO NOBODY WAS INFORMED. I FOUND OUT THROUGH A FEW GOOD

PARENTS. SO MANY PARENTS ARE BEHIND. >>> I'M WRITING THIS E-MAIL ON BEHALF OF RHS PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED AND STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL STRESS DURING THE SUDDEN ACADEMIC YEAR. MY DAUGHTER IS STRESSED AND IMPACTING HER WELLBEING.

>>> THEY HAVE CAPTURED THESE CHALLENGES AND SIGNED FOR UNDER 70 OR MORE PARENTS.

WE APPRECIATE IF YOU WILL CONSIDER THE SUCCESS AND POSSIBILITY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE SO OUR KIDS CAN HAVE A BETTER LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN SCHOOL.

>>> FROM LUCIA, I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I FEEL THAT THIS NEW WAY OF GRADING IS SUPER HARD ON OUR STUDENTS AND SOME OF THEM WORKED SO HARD WHICH DOESN'T REFLECT THE KNOWLEDGE

WHICH IS NOT GREAT. >> I'D LIKE TO SEE THE EFFORTS WHEN THEY'RE DOING HISTORY AND PROJECT. NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE THE SAME AND REFLECT WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE TEST. AND I'M HOPING TO LEARN WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS A HEALTHY

APPROACH FOR STUDENTS. >>> OH, GOSH. AND NOW -- IF YOU CAN READ ONE

MORE. >>> SO MY NORMAL POLICY IS THAT EACH PERSON GOT THREE MINUTES SO

CLOCK ME IN IF I'VE GONE OVER FOR THREE MINUTES. >> SO THIS IS FROM AS PART OF A PETITION SIGNED BY EQUITY AND FAIRNESS AND THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH IN-PERSON AFTER COVID.

THERE'S A LOT OF MENTAL STRESS BY THE FACT THAT THEIR CLASS HAS A TEST POLICY AND TESTS WITH A HEAVY TAKE AND IT'S UNFAIR THAT THEY HAD REPAIRS IN CURVING AND GIVING KIDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE. HOW IS THIS EQUITABLE. I'M REACHING OUT TO SEE IF THEY CHANGE THIS POLICY LIKE 90-10 AND GIVING THEM A PERSON TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT POLICY IF THEY DON'T HAVE A GOOD TEST DAY WHICH SHATTERS THEIR SELF ESTEEM AND THIS GRADING POLICY IS EXTREMELY UNFAIR AND IMPACTED AND I APPRECIATE YOUR POLICY AND TO BE EQUITABLE TO BE ACCURATE AT 60% AND RESTS BETWEEN POLICIES FOR EXISTING POLICIES. FOR EXAMPLE THE AP COUNT SAYS HE'LL UPDATE YOU WITH AVERAGE OF LOWER SCORES SO IT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD THEIR

CONFIDENCE AS WELL AS ANXIETY. ARE THANKS FOR CONSIDERATION -- >> -- ALL RIGHT, ERICA, JANICE

[00:15:07]

WILSON IS YOURS. >>> ALL RIGHT, JANICE WILSON, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEW GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE STUDENTS ESPECIALLY FOR THE OLDEST GRADES.

AFTER A SYSTEM OF GRADED HOMEWORK FOR YEAR, TODAY'S HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE TO DEAL WITH HEAVILY WEIGHTED BY THEIR WORK. JUST AS THEY ARE ALSO ADJUSTING TO THE NEW PRESSURES OF RETURNING TO FULL-TIME IN-PERSON SCHOOL WELL, THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES. PERHAPS THEIR APPROACH IS EXPECTED TO MINIMIZE THE STRET BUT NOW STUDENTS HAVE ADDED TO THE PRESSURE OF DOING WELL IN EACH AND EVERY TEST.

SHE HAS TESTING AND ANXIETY OF ADHD AND TESTING AND TAKING TIME FOR FUNCTIONING AND ORGANIZATION BUT IT DOES NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE ANXIETY FOR THE TEST. IN THE PAST, SHE CAN KEEP HER EFFORTS THAT ENFORCE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED FOR TESTS. BUT NOW EACH TEST IS A SINK OR SWIM MOMENT AND HER TEST REFLECTS THIS. IN HER JUNIOR YEAR SHE'S STRESSED AND MANAGING THE INFLUENCE GRADING SYSTEM IS DIFFICULT TOO.

MY DAUGHTER ALREADY OFTEN SHOULD COMPLETE A TEST IN ORDER TO HAVE THE 50% EXTRA TIME FOR GRANTS.

NOW SHE HAD TO RESCHEDULED WITH TEACHERS BECAUSE THAT'S HER ONLY TIME.

AND HOME WORK CAN BE DONE ON HER OWN TIME. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY SHE HAS TEACHERS DOING GROUP PROJECTS AND HOMEWORK. CAREFULLY WORK BOOSTS CONFIDENCE KNOWLEDGE AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SOURCE FOR GRADING. THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE AN EITHER OR SITUATION AND REPRESENTS SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TO ADD THE SUMMIT LEADERSHIP AND NOT CARRY OVER INTO THE SECOND SEMESTER. THE NEXT SYSTEM WE HAVE IS

MULTI-PAGES. >> I WILL REWORD TO SUMMARIZE AS WELL.

>> IT'S FROM SHY AND SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE QUARTER, I HAVE SEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN THE LEVEL OF STRESS COUPLED WITH THE SENSE THAT THINGS ARE GETTING AWAY FROM YOU.

>> THE ONGOING MOTIVATION OF GETTING THINGS DONE IS BEING UNWELCOMED WITH HEALTHY PEAKS OF STRESS AND BACK IN TIME RETAKES BEING THE ONLY SOURCE FOR GRADES.

THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR KEEPING THE DISTRICT SANE AND AVOIDING LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR CHILDREN. AS A RESULT OF IRRESPONSIBLE

EXPERIMENTS. >>> THESE NEW GRADING SYSTEMS ARE BEING DEPLOYED BY FLYING AT THE SEAT OF THEIR PANTS EVEN IN SCHOOL. IT'S MINDBLOWING TO HIM THAT BASED ON READING A BOOK THAT TEACHERS CAN INVENT THEIR OWN GRADING SYSTEM AND SUBJECT MY CHILD TO SOCIAL EXPERIMENT WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THE TEACHER AND THE DISTRICT.

NOTE THAT THIS IS GOING ON FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND AP WHAT'SES EFFECTING THEIR KID CLA CLASSES AFFECTING THEIR KID. WE MUST GET THIS IN CONTROL TO

HELP THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. >> THE NEXT WOMAN WE HAVE IS ALYSSA ZANG.

IT'S ALL SEVERAL ISSUES AND I'LL DO PMY BEST TO SUMMARIZE THIS. >>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD FOR THE COMMENT, MY 7-PAGE PUBLIC COMMENT POSTED IN NOVEMBER REGARDING THE NEW GRADING SYSTEM THAT HAS COME INTO SOME CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL SUCH AS EAST

LAN LANGLEY HIGH. >>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE FOR GRADING IN SCHOOL. THOMAS DUSKY AND DR. SUSAN BROOKHART EXPLAINED WHY. SHE THEN SUMMARIZES HER FINDINGS AND THESE ARE PROVIDED AND

[00:20:03]

REPOSTED THE BOARD ON DOCS. >> ALSO WE NEED TO TAKE NOTE THAT THE RECENT CVS 8 MINUTE THAT RESTORES EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO EXCEL RANKS UP WITH HURTING ADOLESCENT WELLNESS.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE'RE SEEING SERIOUS PROBLEMS CROP UP FROM THE GRADING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS NOT BASED UPON SOUND SCIENCE AND GRADED UPON A BOOK FOR GENERALIZATIONS.

AND FOR EXAMPLE, THE AUTHOR MAKES ERONRONEOUS COMMENTS THAT MOST KIDS ARE DISHONEST AND MOST OF THEM ARE CHEATING WHEN DOING HOMEWORK. MANY OF THEM ARE HONEST.

HE MAKES CRUDE COMMENTS AND SAYS THAT COMMENTS SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE GRADING SCHEME

SUCH AS A STUDENT THAT NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF AN AILING PAIPAREN. >>> THERE'S A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO HELPING KIDS IN RARE CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THIS IN EXTENUATING ACCOMODATION AND IF

THEY SHOULD EXCLUDE THE COMPONENT. >> AND THAT WAS FROM MISS ZANG AND AGAIN, IT'S THE FULL COMMENTS POSTED FOR DOCUMENTS POSTED TO THE BOARD.

AND NEXT WE RECEIVED COMMENT FROM FARAH AND THAT READS AS FOLLOWS.

REACHING OUT TO A CONCERNED PARENT AS A HIGH SCHOOL GOING KID AND MY DAUGHTER IS IN 11TH GRADE AND AS YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING. . AFTER A YEAR OF REMOTE SCHOOL AND THE JUNIOR YEAR IS THE MOST CRUCIAL YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL LIKE IT'S THE ABSOLUTE WORST FOR A YEAR TO CHANGE ANY PROCESS AND WORST EVEN GRADING PROCESS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO ADJUST WITH THE NEW NORMS IN SCHOOL.

I'VE NEVER SEEN MY DAUGHTER BEING SO STRESSED AND BEING DEMORALIZED AND IT'S BECOMING DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH AND I ASK THE DISTRICT TO BE CONFIRMED AND IT'S FORCED TO MAKE SCHOOLS MAKE CHANGES ON EXPERIMENTAL SITUATIONS. AND THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED BY COLLEGES WHEN POOR GRADES SHOW UP IN THE TRANSCRIPTS. I'M HOPING THAT IT'S NOT TOO

LATE TO DIVERT SOME OF THE CHANGES. >>> THE NEXT IS A MULTI-PAGE WRITTEN SUBMISSION. I'LL DO MY BEST. IT'S FROM VAN -- AND IT READS I'M A PARENT OF A STUDENT IN REDMAN HIGH SCHOOL AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HIGHER ACADEMICS IN TESTS. THE POLICY HAS BEEN INTRODUCED WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC COMMENT SLASH STUDENT INPUTS HOPING THAT THIS WOULD ADDRESS EQUITY PROBLEMS FOR STUDENTS AND HAS BACKFIRED FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE UNABLE TO DELIVER THEIR BEST WHICH HAS THE HIGHER WEIGHTAGE.

>> THIS WAS BASED ON A POLICY CALLED GRADING FOR EQUITY AND THEY HAVE NOT IMPLEMENTED THOSE ENTIRELY AND TAKEN SOME THAT HAVE EXACERBATED THE CONSEQUENCES.

FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAVE MADE THIS THE ONE-STAKES GRADING ENVIRONMENT.

AND MANY STUDENTS THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS WITH HOW THEIR STUDENTS ARE IMPACTED WHO HAS STRUGGLED TO DO THE BEST THAT HAS NOT PROVIDED AND SLOWLY REALIZES THIS IS A LOSING BATTLE AND ONCE GRADES HAVE TAKEN A HIT, THEY CANNOT COME BACK. THIS IS NOT ONLY IMPACTING THEIR GRADES BUT THEIR INTEREST IN THE COURSE THEMSELVES. THERE ARE CASES THAT WHEN

[00:25:07]

SUBJECT. >> I HAVE TRIED TO TABULATE A SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND REQUIRED ACTION FOR THE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY CAN TAKE TO BRIDGE THE GAP AND CHALLENGES INTRODUCED BY THE NEW GRADING SYSTEM. AND THEN A TABLE IS PROVIDED WITH SIX IDENTIFIED CHALLENGES AND SIX REQUESTED ACTIONS. IT RUNS SEVERAL PAGES.

>> I APOLOGIZE FOR TIME. I'M NOT ABLE TO READ ALL OF THEM ALLOWED.

>>> ERIC, THERE'S ONE MORE. SO LET ME READ THAT QUICKLY. >>> KAREN -- EAST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL HAS ADOPTED A NEW GRADING SYSTEM THAT HAS ADOPTED HOME WORK THAT IS NOT FOR STUDENTS OF LOWER GRADES. I FEEL THAT THIS DOES NOT REFLECT COMPETENCY AND I SUGGEST THAT THEY RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS MODEL. IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THE OTHER HOME WORK, THEY SHOULD FIND WAYS TO RETURN TO THE OLDER HOMEWORK SYSTEM.

THAT IS THE END. >>. >>> THANK YOU, DR. CRAWFORD.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR OUR MEETING TONIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AS NOT A PART OF THE PUBLIC PACKET BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THOSE FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THOSE TOPICS THAT WERE ADDRESSED TONIGHT ON PUBLIC COMMENT.

DOCTOR, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THE COMMENT THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED TONIGHT.

AND I GUESS THAT I WOULD TALK TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND I'M HOPING TO BRING AN UPDATE ON THIS SITUATION AT AN UPCOMING MEETING. ABSOLUTELY, AS THE BOARD KNOWS, THIS WAS NOT A DISTRICT WIDE INITIATIVE AND SO I'VE ASKED MY TEAM TO DO SOME FOLLOW-UPS SO I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME CONTEXT AND MAGNITUDE OF THE SITUATION KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW GRADING PRACTICES AND GRADING PROCEDURES REALLY HAVE BEEN PART OF OUR ONGOING WORK FOR YEARS AND YEARS. SO I JUST WANT TO UNPACK THIS AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE FULL

SITUATION AND I'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IT FOR. >>> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>>> SO THEN AS A REMINDER, FOR FUTURE MEETINGS, WE DO LIKE TO SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT E-MAIL EJENKINS@LWSD.ORG BY 3:00 P.M. ON THE DAY OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT OR 1:00 P.M. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT. AND THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WROTE TO US. I APOLOGIZE THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FULLY READ ALL OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WE HAVE READ IT AND DR. HOLLOMAN IS AWARE OF IT AS WELL.

[E. Consent Agenda]

>>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROVAL ON THE NOVEMBER 15TH 2021 CONCSENT AGENDA.

>>> MOVE, SECOND. >> SECOND THAT WE HAVE APPROVED THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

DR. HOLLOMAN PLEASE POLL THE BOARD.

>>> YES, VICE-PRESIDENT STUART AND PRESIDENT LIBERTY. >> YES.

ACCEPT AGENDA PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> THE FIRST ITEM ON THE

[F. Non-Consent Agenda]

>>> AS THE BOARD KNOWS, THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO REALLY IDENTIFY THESE KEY AREAS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH, TALKING WITH AND COMMUNICATING WITH OUR ELECTIVE OFFICIALS THAT ARE SOON TO BE ENTERING INTO THE SESSION AND IT'S A SHORT SESSION FOR OUR STATE LEGISLATURES BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES OF THE BOARD IN THE DISTRICT AS WE ENTER INTO THOSE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE WORK OF OUR LEGISLATIVES KNOW THAT WE HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT FOR STUDENTS. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US AS WE'RE

[00:30:02]

SO THE BOARD HAS BEEN ON A JOURNEY, DIRECTOR SAGE HAS REALLY LEAD THIS PROCESS WELL, NOT JUST THIS YEAR AND REALLY OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF BROUGHT FORWARD SOME IDEAS LAST YEAR AROUND SOME VIDEO WHICH I THINK REALLY HELPED SOLIDIFIED SOME OF OUR PRIORITIES THAT ARE MEANINGFUL FOR US. GOT OUR STUDENTS VOICED IN THOSE VIDEOS SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS BENEFICIAL. AND SO THE BOARD HAS HAD A NUMBER OF STUDY SESSIONS RELATED TO THE LEGISLATIVE PROERTS AGAIN TONIGHT SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR IN DISCUSSION AND I THINK WE LANDED IN A PRETTY GOOD PLACE WHERE WE WILL BRING BACK A PROPOSED LEDGE PLATFORM FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE ACTION ON DECEMBER 6TH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO LIKE TO DO IS CONTEXTUALIZE WITH SOME DATA AROUND THE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM CONCEPTS AND HOW THAT IS IMPACTING LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO WITH THAT I WANT TO INVITE SUPERINTENDENT BARBARA P POSTHOUMOUS THAT PROVIDES AN OVER ARCHING PLAN TO PROVIDE REASONS FOR THIS PLATFORM AND ONCE THEY ADOPT A PLATFORM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CONNECT IT WITH THAT PLATFORM AS WELL.

SO WITH THAT I'LL CONNECT IT TO B BARBARA.

>>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE MY PRESENTATION AND I'M GOING TO GET STARTED AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH AND SHARE AGAIN SOME OF THE DATA AROUND THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES THAT YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS FO FOCUSSED ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE MISSION AND VISION OF OUR DISTRICT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PREPARING OUR STUDENTS TO GRADUATE AND BE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE AND THE WORK PLACE AND PERSONAL SUCCESS. SO I'VE ORGANIZED A PRESENTATION ALIGNED WITH A SPECIFIC PLAN AND THE DIFFERENT GOAL REASONS. SO THE FIRST GOAL AREA IS ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

IN THIS AREA WE WANT TO, OUR PRIORITIES FOCUS ON SPECIAL EDUCATION AND HOLD FORM LULAS A THIS IS A FAMILIAR SLIDE THAT WE UPDATE EVERY YEAR AND WHILE THIS DATE WE DO RECEIVE STATE FUNDS AND FEDERAL FUNDS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICESM. SO UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT PROVIDE FULL FUNDING. AND WE SPENT SOME FOR OUR OVERALL BUDGETS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND $17 MILLION IN THE 2021 BUDGET AND THAT'S THE SECOND FROM THE LAST BAR IS FUNDED FOR OUR LOCAL LEVIES. SO 65% OF OUR LEVIES ARE USED TO COVER THE SHORTFALL IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. NOW THE STATE HAS MADE SOME PROCESS SO AS THE STATE CAN SEE THE PROGRESS AND BETWEEN THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STATE FUNDING SO REDUCED ARE THE LOCAL SHARE, THEY IMPLEMENTED, THEY INCREASED SOMETHING CALLED AN ACCESS COST MULTIPLIER. THEY ALSO HAVE FUNDING FOR A SAFETY NET. THE COST CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND WE'RE EXPECTING A SHORTFALL FROM $17 MILLION THIS YEAR'S BUDGET AND IT WILL KEEP INCREASING UP TO 21 AND AN AVERAGE OF 21 OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. SO THIS IS CONTINUING TO BE A

TOP PRIORITY FOR US. >>> THE OTHER WE SHARED AT THE STUDY SESSION LAST BOARD MEETING IN OUR COVID COSTS. SO SINCE THE PANDEMIC IN MARCH OF 2020, WE HAVE SEEN

[00:35:06]

AND WE'RE STILL SEEING SOME ENROLLMENT DECLINE. >> WE SAW THAT IN THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR AND SAME IN THE 2022 SCHOOL YEAR AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEE A BUDGET CARRY OVER FOR COVID SUPPORT AND THOSE COSTS, WE'RE CONTINUING TO INCUR ADDITIONAL COSTS.

WE ALSO DO THE ENROLLMENT DIP. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR LEVY CAPACITY IS MAINTAINED AND THEN WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS REDUCING OR ELIMINATING UNFUNDED MANDATES AND IF THEY DO PROVIDE NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY PROVIDE FUNDING TO US TO SUPPORT THOSE REQUIREMENTS. EVERY YEAR THERE'S BILLS PASSED AND THEY PROVIDE SOME NEW

MANDATES THAT THERE'S NO FUNDING TIED TO THOSE BILLS. >>> AND WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO

PROVIDE MORE WITH LESS DOLLARS. >>> SO THAT'S IMPORTANT. SO THE NEXT TWO SLIDES I'LL REVIEW AGAIN THE COVID COSTS AND AGAIN, WE DID REVIEW THIS AT THE STUDY SESSION IN OCTOBER.

BUT FROM MARCH OF 2020 THROUGH AUGUST OF 2021, WE SPENT ABOUT $11.9 MILLION ON COVID AND THAT INCLUDED HEALTH AND SAFLT, STAFFING, TECHNOLOGY, STAFF SUPPORT, REMOTE LEARNING AND AS WE BROUGHT STUDENTS BACK. SO WE DID RECEIVE, WHAT WE'RE CALLING ESTER 1 AND ESTER 2 FUNDING AND THE STATE PROVIDES SOME FROM LAKE WASHINGTON AND I'LL SHOW YOU FROM THE NEXT TWO SLIDES THAT RECEIVED MINIMAL DOLLARS AND THAT WAS THE $7.9 MILLION AND WE HAD EXPECTED TO USE SR-$3 MILLION OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. AND OUR ACTUAL COVID COSTS, WE'RE EXPECTING TO SPEND ABOUT $14 MILLION AND THAT'S CONTINUED SAFETY MEASURES AND MATERIALS, CURRICULUM AND INCREASED STAFFING TO SUPPORT OUR ONLINE SCHOOL AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IN QUARANTINE AND THAT WILL LEAVE A $6.5 MILLION SHORTFALL THIS YEAR.

>> SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS, JUST REMINDS EVERYONE ESTER FUNDING IS SIGNIFICANT LESS THAN OTHER DISTRICTS OUR SIZE. LAKE WASHINGTON IS THE SECOND LARGEST DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND WE ARE RECEIVING $410 PER PUPIL AND ABOUT $12 MILLION AND OTHER DISTRICTS, OUR SIZE OR LARGER ARE RECEIVING TEN TIMES THAT MUCH. SO THE AVERAGE ACROSS THE STATE IS ABOUT BE $2,735 SO WE ARE JUST NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT WE SHOULD FOR OUR SIZE.

AND THEN THE NEXT CHART IS JUST SHOWING OUR NEIGHBORS. SO WE'RE NOT THE ONLY SCHOOL IN DISTRICT, MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS BECAUSE OF OUR LOW FREE REDUCED POPULATION BECAUSE THE FUNDING WAS BASED ON TITLE ONE FUNDING SO OUR NEIGHBORS UPON NORTH SHORE RECEIVED LESS THAN WE DID AND BELL VIEW OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH RECEIVED YOU KNOW ABOUT TWO TIMES WHAT WE DID.

AND SO THE STATE FOR 2021 DID PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO GET DISTRICTS UP TO $500 PER PUPIL AND IT WAS NOWHERE COMPARABLE TO WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS GOT BETWEEN THE

$25-$4,000 RANGE. >>> OKAY THE NEXT STRATEGICAL AREA IS WELLBEING AND I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING SUPPORT IN THIS AREA. AND THE FIRST SLIDE WILL LOOK AT

[00:40:03]

WITH LEVY --S AND $6.5 MILLION. >>> THEN THE NEXT AREA OR EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES ARE THR THREE AREAS AND TECHNOLOGY FUNDING AND SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR SCHOOL BONDS. SO OUR TECHNOLOGY, THE STATE PROVIDES LIMITED FUNDING FOR TECHNOLOGY. WE'RE REALLY REQUIRED AS A DISTRICT TO SUBMIT VOTERS FOR TECHNOLOGY FUND AND FOR FACILITY LIFE CYCLE FUNDS AND THAT'S COVERED UNDER THE FOUR LEVEL CAPITOL FUNDING THAT VOTERS RENEW THOSE FUNDS IN FEBRUARY. SO AGAIN, THE STATE THROUGH THE FUNDING OF WITH A THEY CALL MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND OPERATING COSTS FUNDS ABOUT $4.3 MILLION AND MAYBE $155 PER PUPIL FOR TECHNOLOGY AND WE SPEND ABOUT $900 PER PUPIL OR $2,500 ANNUALLY. SO THE LOCAL LEVY FUNDS ABOUT 83% AND WE'VE HEARD THE 90S THAT INCLUDES THE FACILITY PORTION OF THE CAPITOL LEVEL, THAT LEVY FUNDS ABOUT 90% IN THE FACILITY

NEEDS. >>> SO THE OTHER PIECE IS THE INCREASE IN SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION FUNDING AND AS A GROWING DISTRICT, IT'S CREATED SIGNIFICANT DEMAND FOR OUR NEED FOR NEW FACILITIES AND CLASSROOMS AND THE STATE DOES RECEIVE STATE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING BUT REALLY ONLY TO REBUILD AGEING SCHOOLS. AND NO FUNDING FOR NO SCHOOLS AND THE STATE ARTIFICIALS CAPS THE COST PER SQUARE FEET AND ALLOCATED FOR LOCALLY AND ADEQUATE AND NO NEW SCHOOLS IN THE STATE QUALIFY FOR FUNDING. AND THERE'S BEEN NO EFFORT ON

MOVEMENT ON ANY EFFORTS SINCE EARLY 2005. >> AND YOU'VE SEEN ON PREVIOUS SLIDES AND THE STATE PROVIDES SIMILAR AROUND $238. IT'S ACTUALLY -- I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THIS, WE PROVIDE $238 PER STUDENT AND IT'S MULTIPLIED BY 28%.

AND THE REALITY IS THEY'RE PROVIDING STATE FUNDING IF THE PROJECT IS ELIGIBLE AND THE AVERAGE CONSTRUCTION COSTS CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM $350 TO $500 PER SQUARE FOOT.

AND WE'VE RECEIVED LIMITED FUNDING FROM THE STATE AND THAT'S WHY WE ASK OUR VOTERS

[00:45:02]

>>> AND THE OTHER AREA SHOWS A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR BONDS. SO A DEMAND FOR NEW SCHOOL FACILITIES, WE'VE HAD TO COME OUT FOR OUR VOTERS AND ASK FOR FUNDS.

AND THE BOND SINCE 2010, ALL OF THEM HAVE RECEIVED OVER 50% APPROVAL AND BECAUSE OF THIS SUPER MAJORITY REQUIRED ONLY ONE BOND PLEASURE HAS PASSED. THE ONE IN FEBRUARY AND THAT RECEIVES 66% APPROVAL RATING AND WE NEED A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A SIMPLE

MAJORITY FOR SCHOOL BONDS. >>> AND THE LAST CATEGORY OF EXCELLENT STAFF AND I APOLOGIZE, THERE'S A COUPLE OF ITEMS HERE AND THE FIRST ONE IS SCHOOL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COST.

AND SO THE LEGISLATURE CREATED AS PART OF THE IN CLEARIEVILLE WHICH IS THE BENEFITS BOARD AND THEY BROUGHT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE A BENEFIT SO THE GOAL WAS TO SAVE MONEY AND THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2020 AND THERE'S STILL A NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES WITH THE NEW PROGRAM. AND IT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR EMPLOYEES -- UNDER SET CONTRACT EMPLOYEES ARE NOW ELIGIBLE UNDER THE WHOLE SAME BENEFIT AND THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE AND THE STATE DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY BENEFIT FOR SUBSTITUTE COST. SO THEY'VE ADDED NEW

REQUIREMENTS BUT DID NOT PROVIDE FOR ANY FUNDING FOR THEM. >>> SO I MENTIONED THE EMPLOYERS MUST PAY THE PREMIUMS FOR ALL ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES AND THE PREMIUM COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FOR THE EMPLOYER THAN THEY WERE BEFORE. SO WE'RE ESTIMATING $4-$5 MILLION, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FULL YEAR OF COSTS. BUT ONCE YOU KNOW WE SEE A COMPLETE FULL YEAR OF COSTS, WE CAN EXPECT IT TO BE $4-$5 MILLION.

SO THE OTHER CATEGORY FOR STREAMLINING CERTIFICATION AND AGAIN IT'S IMPORTANT TO US AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO HIRE HIGH QUALITY FOR STREAMLINING ELIGIBILITY AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME PROGRESS ABOUT TESTING REQUIREMENTS SO IN APRIL OF 2019, THE REQUIREMENT FOR TEACHERS TO PASS A SKILLS TEST AND READING AND WRITING ELIMINATED AND THEY NEED TO BE PASSED AND GET CERTIFICATION IN WASHINGTON AND THEN IN MAY JUST IN MAY OF LAST YEAR AND THROUGH HOUSE BILL THROUGH HOUSE BILL 1028 ELIMINATED ANOTHER ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENT AND AGAIN, WE NOTE THAT THE ASSESSMENT ARE AN ESSENTIAL TEST AND WE ALSO DON'T WANT THEM TO BE GATE KEEPERS TO GETTING QUALITY CANDIDATES. SO THEY HAVE MADE SOME PROGRESS

ON THAT. >> AND THEN THE OTHER LAST ITEM I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS JUST THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STAFFING ENRICHMENT WORK GROUP. IN 2011, THE STATE IMPLEMENTED

ARE A PROTO-TYPICAL MODEL. >> IT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY FUNDING BUT CONVERTED IT INTO A MODEL THAT LOOKS AT, HERE'S HOW MANY FTE YOU SHOULD IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT YOU SHOULD GET AT AN ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. THE PROTOTYPICAL MODEL HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED SINCE 2011. AND VOTERS APPROVED AN INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE A PHASE AND INCREASES TO THE STAFFING ALLOCATIONS IN THE PROTOTYPICAL MODEL AND THE 2017 IMPLEMENTED

[00:50:09]

THE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM ON THE NEXT MEETING DECEMBER 6TH. >>> GREAT, THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS OR FOLLOW-UP ON THE PRESENTATION THAT WE JUST RECEIVED?

>>> THAT WAS VERY THOROUGH. IT REALLY HELPED SORT OF PULL ALL TOGETHER THE REALISTIC COSTS OF TWO DISTRICTS TRYING TO DO OUR VERY BEST IN THIS TIME OF EDUCATION THAT IT IS NOT SORT OF UNPREDICTABLE AT POINTS. SO I THINK IT REALLY PULLED TOGETHER SOME OF THE TOP THINGS

THAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO FOCUS ON LEGISLATIVELY. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT THE COMMUNITY WATCHING THIS MEETING TO TUNE IN FOR THE STUDY SESSION IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE BOARD'S DISCUSSION OF WHAT THE PROPERTIES WILL BE IN THE NEXT MEETING. THAT DISCUSSION IS NEXT. NO NEED TO REPORT IT AGAIN IN

THE 7:00 HOUR. >> OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE WITH ANYTHING

FURTHER? >> OKAY. DIRECTOR CARLSON.

>> I HAVE ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION FOR BARBARA. >>> MAYBE I ASKED THE RIGHT PERSON BUT YOUR PRESENTATION DID A GREAT JOB OF INCAPSULATING AND IT'S BEING FUNDED AT A STATE AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WE CAN ASK FROM THEM THAT DOESN'T COST MONEY. I'M JUST WONDERING AS WE GO TO THE LEGISLATORS, IT DOES NOT

COST YOU MONEY BUT IT'S STILL REALLY IMPORTANT TO US? >> I MEAN I THINK -- I'LL HAVE TO THINK OF SOME SPECIFICS AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED ON ONE OF THE SLIDES IS JUST REDUCING UNFUNDED MANDATES AND REDUCING REQUIREMENTS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND VERY SMALL BILLS THAT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE A BIG IMPACT BUT WHEN THEY'RE COMBINED OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS THEY TAKE TIME AND STAFFING AND SO AGAIN, WHEN YOU ADD ALL OF THOSE THINGS TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE NOT UPDATED THE

PROTOTYPICAL STAFFING MODEL, THAT CREATES CONCERN. >> WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS HIGHLIGHTS AS A BOARD, THERE'S SOME FOR EXAMPLE, MAKING IT EASIER FOR FOR STUDENTS TO BECOME EASIER FOR OUT OF STATE. SO POTENTIALLY THERE'S SOME FIZZ C FISCAL FISCAL AND IT WAS SIGNIFICANT AND DIRECTOR STEWART AND DR. HOLLOMAN.

>>> WELL, I DON'T THINK IT'S COST MONEY BUT I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A COST SAVINGS.

AND ALL OF THEM ARE LOOKING TESTED AND SNAPPING TO AND GRADE THE ATTEST AND ASSESS THE TEST, SEALS LIKE WE CAN CALL THIS A BUDGET POSITIVE.

[00:55:09]

>>> I THINK I WAS UP NEXT AND ONE OF THE THINGS FOR US WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SIMPLE MAJORITY.

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO TAKE PLACE I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO GO TO A STATE AND IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE PROCESS AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE TO TAKE ACTION AND THE CONCLUSION OF THAT IS ACTUALLY VOTERS AND VOTERS DISAPPROVE OR APPROVE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, THE THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS, SO WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON STATE UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AND TO BE ABLE TO VOICE THEIR OPINION BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT AT THIS POINT, THE LEGISLATURE UNILATERALLY MAKE THAT DECISION SO FOR ME, I JUST NEED TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS IN MOVING THAT FORWARD INTO THE PROCESS. SO IT'S NOT THE PROCESS FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S COST ASSOCIATE WITHED THIS ONE IN THAT THAT IS A SIMPLE MAJORITY CONCEPT AS THIS IS THE DUTY INDICATED IN THE CONSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON STATE, IT FEELS VERY IMPORTANT THAT HAVING APPROPRIATE CLASSROOMS AND SPACE FOR STUDENTS GOES HAND AND HAND FOR

CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION. >>> I JUST WANT TO TALK HOW WE HAVE A BILL ON WHAT DR. HOLLOMAN MENTIONED WITH WHAT WE HAD BEEN DISCUSSED FOR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION AND THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS IN OUR DISTRICT, WE HAD ABOUT $2 BILLION AND THAT'S SIGNIFICANT AND THERE'S A FISCAL IMPACT AND THINGS PASSED MORE IN THE STAFF AND THE CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE TO GIVE MORE MONEY OUT AND THEREFORE REQUIRES ADDITIONAL DOLLARS SO IT IS A CHALLENGE AND I THINK WE CAN SPEAK TO THE VALUE OF HAVING THIS IN PLACE AND SPEAKING TO THE NEED IN REGARDS TO THE

DOLLAR AND CAPITAL EXPENSE SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. >>> OKAY, ANYTHING FURTHER FROM

ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? >> OKAY. THANK YOU, BARBARA.

>>> OKAY, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA AND JUST THE REMINDER, THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING FROM HOME, THIS WILL BE BACK ON OUR AGENDA FOR ADOPTION ON THE DECEMBER 6TH BOARD MEETING.

[G. Superintendent Report]

>> THE NEXT TOPIC IS THEE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. DOCTOR, DO YOU HAVE THE

SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. >> I DO. AND I THINK WE WERE GOING ABOUT PATHWAY UPDATES AND THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES TO PROVIDE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO PROBLEM

SOLVE, THINK CREATIVELY AND AND RESPOND. >> SO AS MANY OF US KNOW LAST FRIDAY WE HEARD ACROSS THE REGION THAT THERE WERE POTENTIALS FOR STAFFING SHORTAGES AND I HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SAY WHY? WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST COME TO WORK AND IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT SCHOOL CALENDERS AND WE THINK ABOUT INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR WORK LIFE AND PERSONAL LIFE, PEOPLE PLAN WELL IN ADVANCE UP TO A YEAR WHEN THEY LOOK AT A SCHOOL CALENDER AND THEY THINK ABOUT IT'S A GOOD TIME TO TAKE AN ANNUAL LEAVE DAY. AND TO BE HONEST, AS AN EMPLOYER, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

SO WE ALSO KNOW THAT AS WE ENTER INTO THE WHEINTER SEASON, MORE D MORE GET SICK.

THAT'S NOT A COVID THING AND THAT'S ENTERING INTO THE WINTER. AND AS A NATURAL PART OF THE PROCESS, WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE OUT ON SICK LEAVE AND WHAT WE ALSO KNOW IS PEOPLE TRY TO HOLD IT TOGETHER THROUGH THE WEEK AND AT TIMES, THAT'S NOT THE BEST THING.

THEY SHOULD TAKE A DAY OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THEY TRY TO HOLD IT TOGETHER AND THEY NEED TO TAKE A DAY OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. WE KNOW THAT THAT ALSO OCCURS AND WE HAVE A STAFFING POSITION AND OPEN POSITIONS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND I'LL SAY FOR THINGS

[01:00:03]

LUNCH AND COME BACK AND SAY THAT IS A WONDERFUL DAY. >> WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WERE ABLE TO LEAVE A TRIP TO GO SEE FAMILY AND LEAD CLASSES TO SOME OF OUR WORLD LEADERS COURSES. AND I COULD GO GROUP BY GROUP AND PEOPLE JUST COME TOGETHER FOR OUR STUDENTS AND IT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. SO I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT OUR STAFF HAS BEEN DOING HEROICS ALL YEAR. THESE ARE CONDITIONS THAT ARE VERY HARD. AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN SOME DEBATE ABOUT WHAT'S THIS FATIGUE WITH EDUCATORS? THIS FATIGUE COMES FROM BEING ON THE FRONT LINES FOR MANY YEARS.

REMOTE TEACHING IS EQUALLY AS HARD AS IN-PERSON TEACHING. AND SO OUR EDUCATORS DID THEIR ABSOLUTE BEST LAST YEAR TO MAKE LAST YEAR PRODUCTIVE AND MEANINGFUL FOR KIDS.

MANY OF THEM TRANSITIONED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. AND MANY OF THEM TRANSITIONED AND I THINK IT WAS THREE TIMES LAST SCHOOL YEAR AND YOU KNOW WE THOUGHT WITH THE SUMMER, COVID RATES DECLINED,ING I BELIEVE WE WERE AT 20 CASES WERE 100,000 SINCE JULY FIRST AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH JULY FIRST? WE'RE ON A DECLINE AGAIN AND WE HAD A HUGE SPIKE AND WE WERE BACK THE MITTED GATIE MITIGATING MEASURES AND THEY PILE INTO A JOB SO WHEN YOU'RE POURING INTO THE HEART AND SOUL AND WHETHER YOU'RE A TEACHER OR WORKING IN THE OFFICE. WHATEVER YOUR INSTRUCTION.

WHATEVER THE JOB IS, WE WANT YOUR HEART AND SOUL SO I WANT OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF WITH

THAT. >> SO OUR STUDENTS ARE WORKING HARD AND YESTERDAY IT WAS A TESTAMENT FOR OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS AND I HEARD AN APPRECIATION FOR STAFF ON THAT DATE, NOT JUST THAT THEY PULLED FRIDAY OFF AS WELL AND JUST FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING. AND WE TALK A LOT ABOUT PROCESSES AND POLICY AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT COMES DOWN FOR PEOPLE WORKING WITH KIDS AND FAMILY SUPPORTING WITH THEIR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL AND WE HAVE A CENTRAL GROUP OF EMPLOYEES AS WELL THAT DON'T WORK IN THE SCHOOLS THAT REALLY DID RALLY AND AS WELL TO GO OUT TO THE SCHOOLS.

SO JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT. THAT IS KIND OF THAT NEXT STEP IN THE PATHWAY FORWARD AS WE

[01:05:03]

THAT'S THE UPDATE AND I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT AND I WANT TO PUT VOICE TO THAT AS WELL AND THE PLANNING THAT WENT INTO THAT AND THE IMPLEMENTATION IS CRUCIAL.

>>> THANK YOU, DR. HOLLOMAN. >>> ANY BOARD MEMBER FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS AND I SEE DIRECTOR

STUART PUT HIS HAND UP. >> SO JOHN, GIVEN THE EXHAUSTION FACTOR AND THE STRESS FACTOR THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT FOR SOME MONTHS NOW. I'D LIKE US TO START LOOKING AT WHAT TYPE OF PROGRAMS WE HAVE IN PLACE THAT WE NEED TO STEP UP IF WE HAVE SOME IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS AND WE ADDRESS BURNOUT THAT WE CAN AFFORD AND THERE'S GOOD TEACHERS THAT WE'RE BURNING OUT. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE I CAN DO AND INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY AND ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS TO THE TEACHERS AND THE STAFF TO MAKE SURE IT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL.

>> SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE STAFF BECAUSE WHEN I THINK ABOUT OUR NURSES, WE'RE UNDER STAFFED IN OUR NURSING PROGRAM AND THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR STUDENTS AND THEY'RE CONFERRING MULTIPLE COVERING MULTIPLE SCHOOLS AND YOU MENTIONED OUR TEACHERS AND OUR CUSTODIAL LIST.

I CAN GO DOWN THE LIST AND EVERY GROUP IS IMPACTED BY THIS. SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS WE ARE PULLING TOGETHER A GROUP THAT CREATIVELY PROBLEM SOLVE. SO ARE WE THINKING OF EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN SO THE RECRUITMENT OF SUBSTITUTES INTO OUR BUILDINGS.

THAT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO US AND WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT ALL STAFF HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE REMIND THEM OF THIS. SO AS ALL OF US KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY, HAVING SOMEONE TO PROBLEM SOLVE AND COACH WITH YOU IS IMPORTANT. I THINK THE OTHER THING IS ENCOURAGING OUR STAFF THAT WHEN WE HAVE A CHANCE TO STEP AWAY TO TRULY STEP AWAY. WHEN YOU CAN TAKE A WEEKEND WHEN A BREAK COMES UP MAKING SURE YOU ACTUALLY TAKE TIME OFF FOR YOUR FAMI FAMILY, RECOVERY AND SELF CARE, THAT'S IMPORTANT FROM ALL OF OUR STAFF IN LAKE WASHINGTON.

I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER THING TO DO THAT'S TRUE FOR EVERYONE. BUT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF

ALLOWS YOU TO BE THERE FOR STUDENTS. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE

[H. Public and Community Affairs]

BOARD? >>> THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE DR. HOLLOMAN.

>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS. DIRECTOR SAGE, DO YOU HAVE

ANYTHING ELSE TO REPORT TONIGHT? >> WE ACTUALLY SPOKE AT LENGTHS AT THE STUDY SESSION ABOUT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND THANK YOU FOR WALKING US THROUGH WITH THE SLIDE DECK.

THIS WEEK IS THE WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL DIRECTOR ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GATHERING AND THE DIRECTOR AND I WILL BE PRESENTING ON THE COLLABORATION PANEL FOR A TOTAL OF EAST KING COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WE BEGIN MEETING IN MARCH TO TRY TO NAVIGATE IN THIS NEW WORLD AND REALLY ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND OUR LEGISLATORS.

WE MET WITH SUPERINTENDENT CHRIS RAKEDALL NOT LONG AGO. AND WE INCLUDED OUR SUPERINTENDENT IN ADVOCACY AND IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK. AND THERE'S ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME OUT OF THAT AND I'M SURE AS MANY PEOPLE WANT TO GET INVOLVED WILL BE INVITED.

[01:10:02]

>>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SAGE. >> ANYTHING ELSE ON ANYONE ON

[I. Closing Items]

PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TONIGHT? >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. I'M GOING TO TAKE A POINT OF PRIVILEGE AND GO FIRST TO

EVERYONE IF THAT'S OKAY TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU. I WANTED DO THAT.

TONIGHT IS DIRECTOR SAGE'S LAST MEETING ON BOARD, LAST BUSINESS MEETING ON THE BOARD AND I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK YOU CASSANDRA FOR SERVING ON THE BOARD.

IT'S BEEN A PERSONALLY A REAL PRIVILEGE FOR YOU WORKING OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

IT'S BEEN IMPACTFUL ON THE BOARD. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PERMANENTLY I THINK RAISING THE FLOOR OF WHAT'S EXPECTED FOR THIS BOARD FOR THE OUTWARD FACING AND INTERFACING THE COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATING NOT ONLY WITHIN THE DISTRICT TO WORK WITH OTHER BOARDS, NEIGHBORING BOARD, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATORS AND CIVIC

ORGANIZATIONS. >> YOU HAVE DONE THAT MORE AND BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT I'M AWARE OF ON THE BOARD. I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU AND I KNOW THAT I'M SPEAKING FROM

EVERYONE AND I KNOW THE IMPACT WILL BE PERMANENT AND THANK YOU. >> AND IT'S JUST BEEN A REAL

PRIVILEGE WORKING FOR YOU. SO THANK YOU FOR SERVING. >> OKAY, MY POINT OF PRIVILEGE

IS OVER. DIRECTOR STUART. >>> SURE.

ONE EVER THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN DOING AND A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE AND A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN IS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AS OUR MEETINGS OPEN.

AND I WORKED WITH OUR NATIVE AMERICAN STAFF PROJECT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATIONS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED.

AND THE LAND THAT WE'RE ON TODAY IS THE ANCESTRAL TRIBES AND OTHER NATIONS RATHER AND HAS BEEN SINCE TIME AND MEMORIAL. WE EXPECT THEIR RIGHT FOR SELF-DETERMINATION AND WE HONOR THEIR SACRED, SPIRITUAL CONNECTION WITH THE LAND AND WATER.

THAT'S IT. >> I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT BE A PART OF OUR PROGRAMMING.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TONIGHT. >> DIRECTOR CARLSON.

>> I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU FIRST DIRECTOR SAGE. YOU'RE A BETTER BOARD MEMBER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN. SO I APPRECIATED WORKING WITH YOU FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

YOUR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARY AND YOU REALLY HAVE SET THE BAR VERY HIGH. I'VE RAISED THE FLOOR AND YOU HAVE RAISED THE CEILING.

AS FAR AS DIRECTOR STUART'S COMMENT, I AGREE, I'VE BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIGURE OUTWHO TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND I'VE OUT WHO TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND I HAVE BEEN ARE AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND I'M TRYING TO GET BACK TO THAT. SO THE GRADING LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE PATHS OF SUCCESS ALLOWING FOR EACH FLAVOR AND I UNDERSTAND THE THEORYS BEHIND SOME OF THESE THINGS IN TERMS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT AND PERSONALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN THRILLED AND WHEN I WAS A KID, I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY SON IS EXCITED ABOUT THIS PREMISE TOO. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL STUDENTS AND I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND SOMETHING TO HELP ALL STUDENTS SUCCEED INTENTIONALLY. SO THANK YOU FOR TAPPING AND WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME

TO DEMONSTRATE MULTIPLE AVENUES WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. >>> DIRECTOR.

>> I WANT TO THANK HER FOR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH US ON THE BOARD BECAUSE

SHE'S DONE MANY THINGS. >> I APPRECIATE YOUR ARTICLE SO IF PEOPLE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE,

[01:15:05]

AND WHEN I TIME. WHEN I THINK THAT WE HAVE HAD THREE SUPERINTENDENTS DURING YOUR YEAR AND A PANDEMIC AND ALL OF THE MULTIPLE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE TOSSED IN.

AND YOU DOVE IN WITH TWO FEET AND YOUR WORK WAS FORMED AND BEING INVOLVED WITH THAT WITH THE LATINO VIDEOS AND MAKING SURE IT'S REACHED OUT AND WE HOPE IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH THOSE ON THE COMMUNITY SIDE AS WELL. AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS THAT YOU HAVE MADE IT IMPACTFUL AND I HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM YOU AND HAVE GREATLY ENJOYED THAT TIME SO THANK YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING IT IN DIFFERENT

ROLES. >>> DR. HOLLOMAN. >> I REALIZE I'M NOT A BOARD

MEMBER AND I APPRECIATE -- >> -- OH, YEAH. I APPRECIATE THE NOD TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO CASSANDRA, YOU AND I MET A LONG TIME AGO AND I GOT TO KNOW YOU THROUGH ONE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.

AND HE NOW IS A THRIVING COLLEGE STUDENT AND IS NOW GOING TO DO AMAZING THINGS IN LIFE.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT BOARDSMENSHIP, IT'S ABOUT WANTING TO DO RIGHT BY KIDS.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT THAT LENS WITH YOU EVERY DAY WITH YOUR WORK AS A BOARD MEMBER I COMMEND YOU FOR YOU BEING ABLE TO STEP INTO THIS ROLE AND TRY TO LEARN WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN TO WORK ON A BOARD. AND I APPRECIATE YOU GO ALL IN WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING AND I THINK EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE ON THIS BOARD MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE'RE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR KIDS.

AND ALL OF YOU OWE A DEBT OF GRATITUDE FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED AND THE LEGISLATIVE WORK THAT YOU DID AND THE EFFORT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS AND REALLY PUSH THOSE FORWARD AND ADVOCATE FOR THOSE PIECES BECAUSE YOU KNEW IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE SYSTEM BUT THAT SYSTEM IS WHAT SUPPORTED STUDENTS.

YOUR COMMITMENT LAST YEAR TO DOING THE BEST FOR STUDENTS, YOU HELD THAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC AS THE WHOLE BOARD DID. BUT JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS THAT YOU SERVED DUTIFULLY AND YOU SERVED WELL AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID FOR THIS DISTRICT IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR PARTNERSHIP. >>> ANY ADDITIONAL BOARD
