[B. Opening Items]

>> MOTION FOR APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> I ACTUALLY BEFORE WE I JUST WANT TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD FOR ALL BOARD MEMBERS. WHAT WAS THE THIRD ITEM ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA WAS A REVIEW OF THE BOARDS REPORT FOR THE MONITORING REPORT FOR THE LAST MEETING.

THAT AGENDA ITEM HAS BEEN PUSHED TO THE NEXT MEETING.

BECAUSE THAT REPORT HAS NOT BEEN FINISHED YET.

AND CIRCULATED. SO THAT WILL BE AT THE NEXT MEETING. SO THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA, FOR TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE THAT. OKAY IT IS BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR COLLISON AND SECOND BY STABLE, WE APPROVE THEIR AGENDA.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSED? HEARING NONE THE MOTION CARRIES.

[C. Recognitions]

CAN YOU GET US STARTED PLEASE. >> ABSOLUTELY SO TONIGHT ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT IS HERE TO SHARE IT WITH THE BOARD AND TO RECOGNIZE THE TEACHERS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH INITIAL CERTIFICATION AND RENEWAL OF THE NATIONAL BOARDS.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE, THAT IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS AND DIFFICULT TIMES. BUT FOR THOSE WHO THAT COMPLETED THAT IN THE MIDST OF TRANSITIONING TO REMOTE TEACHING AND LEARNING TRANSITIONING TO A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR TEACHING, DURING COVID-19, I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE ALL THE HARD WORK AND EFFORT. EXCITED TO RECOGNIZE STAFF THAT WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND COMPLETED THAT AGAIN.

SO MIKE? >> YET SO WHAT AN HONOR IT IS TO RECOGNIZE OUR NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIES THE I WANT TO RECOGNIZE EMILY YOUNG ON HER TEAM, WE SUPPORTED THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS IN THE PROCESS THAT THEY GO THROUGH AS DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED IN HOW YOU LIVED IN THESE PAST FEW YEARS.

JUST AS YOU MAY RECALL FROM PAST PRESENTATIONS, SO THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION IS A PROCESS THAT TEACHERS GO THROUGH, THAT REALLY SETS A PRETTY HIGH BAR. SO OUR TEACHERS HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ONGOING ASSESSMENT WHERE THEY SUBMIT CLASSROOM VIDEO RECORDINGS, PORTFOLIOS, AND STUDENT WORK AND WRITTEN REFLECTIONS OF THE WORK THAT THEY ARE DOING IN CLASS, AND ALSO COMPLETE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE TEST.

AND THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WHILE THEY ARE INSTRUCTING PURCHASE OF A GOAL IS NOT ONLY DEMONSTRATING YOUR CONFIDENCE, BUT YOU'RE ALSO LEARNING AND GROWING AS YOU'RE DOING THE WORK.

SO IT REALLY IS A WONDERFUL PROCESS THAT EPIC TEACHER

[00:05:03]

AS WE MENTIONED, THERE ARE STANDARDS THAT GO WITH IT.

AND THESE RANGE FROM EVERYTHING FROM TEACHERS BEING TOO COMMITTED TO STUDENT LEARNING, BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES THAT GO ON IN THE CLASSROOM, THINKING ABOUT THE PRACTICES AND REFLECTING ON THEIR PRACTICE.

THEN BEING PART OF A LARGER COMMITTEE, SO EARLY IN THE STUDY SESSION I MENTIONED THE IDEA OF BEING PART OF A GRADE LEVEL TEAM WE ARE LOOKING AT STUDENT DATA ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR KIDS. SO THE TEACHERS REALLY DO NEED TO BE PART OF A LOGIC AND REASON AS THEY'RE DOING THEIR WORK COMPETENCE FOR NATIONAL BOARDS. SO WE WANTED TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO CALL OF FOLKS WHO ARE RECEIVING NATIONAL BOARDS FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND AS DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED, DUE TO COVID-19 THIS YEAR, PROBABLY A FEW LESS THAN WE WOULD TYPICALLY HAVE BUT AGAIN HATS OFF TO THESE FOLKS, SO IN HER JOINTS AT LAKE WASHINGTON ICICLE, SHAWNA CORE SEAN AT EASTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL KRISTIN MACLEOD AT IMS AND : TRACY.

THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS THAT ARE DOING RENEWAL, AND I REMEMBER MANY OF THESE FROM THEIR FIRST YEAR WHEN THEY WERE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THE FIRST YEAR. NS BERGMAN, JUST FOR BUTTERFIELD, PETER CHANG, SUE CHEN, LESLIE CORDELL, AND CASEY GARIN, CAREGIVERS, SUSAN HART, ANGELA CASPER, AND CATHERINE KERRY. AND THEN WE HAVE PATRICK WATSON, MEGAN PALMER, DANIEL PALTROW, CHANA SANSOM, ALYSSA SCOTT AND BRIAN SCOTT. SO HERE ARE OUR FOLKS, THEIR PICTURES ARE UP, AND WHAT WE ARE BACK IN PERSON AS ERIC MENTIONED IN THE COMING YEARS WE TYPICALLY HAVE THESE FOLKS DURING THESE SO WE CAN GIVE THEM A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE IN PERSON.

BUT SINCE WE ALREADY KNOW IT WITHOUT THIS WORK FOR TONIGHT.

AGAIN WE CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS IN ALL OF OUR TEACHERS THERE WITH THEIR INCREDIBLE WORK THEY THE PAST YEARS TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS CONTINUE TO LEARN AND THRIVE IN THIS VERY CHALLENGING TIMES.

>> OKAY GREAT THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE TEACHERS WHO WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS DURING THE LAST YEAR.

IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. THE VIRTUAL APPLAUSE.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, IS A PROCLAMATION, DECLARING THE WEEK OF MARCH 14 THROUGH 18 EDUCATIONAL SUPPORTS PROFESSIONALS WEEK. I WILL ASSESS DIRECTOR STEWART

[D. Audience Participation]

WE HAVE AS I MENTIONED, I THINK I MENTIONED 12 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND I. THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE SIGNED

UP IS NO NICOLE STEINBACK. >> HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME AND SEE

ME? >> JUST FINE.

>> OKAY HI EVERYONE I JOINED YOU DURING THE HEAT WAVE LAUGHED SOON, THANK YOU FOR PIVOTING TO A PERSON SCHOOLS.

AND THANKS AGAIN RIGHT AWAY, AND TO CHAIR YOU WANT TO MAKE SECONDARY SCHOOLS START TIMES LATER.

IT HAS BEEN EIGHT MONTHS, AND I AM STAYING WARM AND I HAVE NOT HEARD AN UPDATE SO I AM BACK. THE ONLY THING THAT I MISS ABOUT REMOTE SCHOOL WAS THAT MY AT MY BOISTEROUSLY PLANAR.

THE EARLY START TIMES AS YOU HAVE BEEN A STRUGGLE, THEIR BODIES AND BRAINS SHOULD BE SEEKING BUT I WHICH NEED TO WAKE THEM UP. EACH BOY AS MS. SCHOOL A FEW TIMES BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT READY TO WAKE UP.

AND THEY OCCASIONALLY HAD A NAP, AND THIS IS UNEXPECTED BECAUSE THEY ARE 12 AND 14. THEY HAVE ALSO STOPPED TAKING THE SCHOOL BUS TO SCHOOL. INSTEAD WE DRIVE THEM, SO THEY CAN GET AN EXTRA HALF HOUR OF SLEEP.

IT IS NOT GOOD FOR TRACTOR RATE, IT IS ALSO NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BUT WE MADE THAT TRADE OFF BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR THE DEVELOPING BRAINS. IT IS NOT JUST MY FAMILY, AS I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE THERE ARE NUMEROUS STUDIES THAT SHOW THE MANY BENEFITS OF HAVING A LATER SECONDARY SCHOOL START TIME.

THESE INCLUDE BETTER MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, LESS DEPRESSION, BETTER GRADES, INCREASE FOCUS DURING CLASS, LESS TARDINESS, AND LESS DROWSY DRIVING.

THESE BENEFITS ARE LISTED IN THE REPORT BENCHMARKING HIGH SCHOOL START TIMES THAT LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMISSIONED AND PAID FOR FROM RESEARCH IN 2013. SO WE PAY FOR THE RESEARCH SEVEN YEARS AGO, AND WE HAVEN'T COMMUNICATED A PLAN TO ADDRESS IT. I DO APPRECIATE THAT THERE ARE CHALLENGES TO HAVING LATER SECONDARY START TIMES BUT THE BENEFITS OF THE STUDENTS ARE WORTH OVERCOMING THEM.

AND WITH THE PIVOT TO IN PERSON SCHOOL LAST YEAR END SWITCHING BETWEEN REMOTE AND A PERSON'S SHARE WHEN IT WAS NEEDED, YOU HAVE PROVEN, YOU CAN OVERCOME CHALLENGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR STUDENTS. AND YOU'VE DONE IT ONCE OR TWICE, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN DO IT AGAIN.

SO I AM HERE TONIGHT ASKING AGAIN FOR LATER SECONDARY SCHOOL START TIMES. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU MS. STEINBACK, NEXT, WE HAVE SIGNED UP IS

TERESA LANE. >> HELLO,.

>> HELLO. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?

>> JUST FINE. >> ALL RIGHT, HI GOOD EVENING LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTORS.

MY NAME IS TERESA LANE, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

ON THE END OF THE MASK MADE A PHYSICAL IT SEEMS TO BE A MOVING TARGET, I APPRECIATED THE PATH TO A FORWARD E-MAIL LAST FRIDAY FROM DR. HOMAN THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMITTED TO MASKS BEING MADE OPTIONAL AS OF MARCH 12. I AM REQUESTING THAT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE MULTIPLE FORCES AT PLAY.

I AM GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT ENDING THE MASK A MANDATE SCHOOL ON MARCH 12 PERMANENTLY. AND WHY THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

FIRST OFF THE MAJORITY OF KIDS HAVE ALREADY HAD COVID-19.

SECONDLY, MASK MANDATES VIOLATE FIVE OF THE AMENDMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES BILL OF RIGHTS. MASK MANDATE VIOLATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT, WHICH IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

YOUNG PEOPLE USE NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION EVEN MORE THAN ADULTS KIDS CANNOT FREELY EXPRESS THEMSELVES WHEN FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE HIDDEN BEHIND A MASK.

IN SPEAKING IS MUFFLED. MANY LEARNING AND SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY CAN NO LONGER SEE FACIAL CUES, FROM TEACHERS AND PEERS. MASK MANDATES VIOLATE THE 4TH AMENDMENT, WHICH IS UNLAWFUL SEIZURE.

THE 4TH AMENDMENT PROTECTS BODILY AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY.

BEING FORCED TO WEAR A MASK IS A PARTIAL SEIZURE OF ONE'S BODY.

MASK MANDATES VIOLATE THE 5TH AMENDMENT, WHICH IS DUE PROCESS.

DUE PROCESS MEANS FAIR TREATMENT.

FORCING ANYONE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, TO WEAR A MASK IS NOT FAIR TREATMENT. MASK MANDATES VIOLATE THE NINTH

[00:15:05]

WASHINGTON IS ONE OF 12 STATES IN SEVEN COUNTRIES THAT MANDATED YOUNG CHILDREN TO WEAR A MASK. MASK MANDATES DEMONSTRATES CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND THEIR LIBERTY AND AUTONOMY AND SECURITY AND SERVE NO VALID MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE.

YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AT LOW RISK FOR COVID-19 RELATED ILLNESS AND HAVE NO LEGAL OR POLITICAL ABILITY TO DO RESISTANT DRACONIAN MEASURES IMPOSED ON THEM.

CURRENTLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE COVID-19 IS LESS DANGEROUS THAN MOST FLU. IRRATIONAL FEAR AS CAUSE GOVERNMENTS TO IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON YOUNG PEOPLE'S FREEDOMS, MASKS CAUSE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL LOGICAL HARM TO CHILDREN. WE STRONGLY REQUEST THAT YOU AND MASK MANDATES PERMANENTLY, ON MARCH 12.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

>> NEXT WE HAVE SIGNED UP IS KEITH LANE.

>> HI HELLO I AM KEITH LANE I AM MARCY THERESA'S HUSBAND.

WE HAVE TWO STUDENTS IN LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

TODAY I SPEAK ON THE HALF OF THE WASHINGTON PARENTS ALLIANCE.

AT THE START OF THIS YEAR THE GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT OF PARENTS ACROSS THE STATE SUBMITTED IDENTICAL PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUESTS PDR'S. TWO OVER 60 SCHOOL DISTRICTS, IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ARE NOT AS EDUCATED CONCERNING THE LAWS THAT GOVERN THEM AS WE ARE. PERHAPS WE CAN LEARN TOGETHER, TYPE RCW 28 A INTO ANY SEARCH ENGINE AND BEGIN THE JOURNEY.

AS WE SHARE THESE DOCUMENTS TO BOARD MEMBERS WE ARE MET WITH MULTIPLE REACTIONS. MANY WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE EFFORTS OF PARENTS ARE MAKING HELP THEM FINDING INFORMATION FROM STATE AGENCIES THAT THEY WERE ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT.

THEY APPRECIATED THAT WE WERE BRINGING ATTENTION TO LAWS AND SCHOOLS MIGHT BE VIOLATED. OTHER BOARD MEMBERS REACTED WITH CONFUSION. AND OTHERS WERE NOT AWARE OF THE RECENT LAWS PASSED OR AMENDED, THAT LEGALLY COMPELLED HIM TO A TEN THE TRAINING THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH.

EVERY STATE IN THE UNIT HAS LAWS ON INFORMED CONSENT.

WHICH OUTLINES THE MEDICAL DOCTORS MUST INFORM THE PATIENT OF RISK AND BENEFITS OF ANY MEDICAL PRODUCT OR DEVICE AND RECEIVE A CONSENT TO ADMINISTER THE DRUG OR DEVICE WITHOUT COERCION. HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE UNLAWFULLY COMPELLED, TO PROVIDE A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS TO GET A MASK EXEMPTION. HOW MANY WERE DENIED A MASS EXEMPTION AFTER GETTING A DOCTOR'S NOTE? PAGE THREE OF SECTION 504, AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES PDF, FOUND ON THE WEBSITE FOR WASHINGTON OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENTS A PUBLIC INSTRUCTION CLEARLY STATES THAT THE SCHOOL CANNOT REQUIRE A PARENT TO PROVIDE A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, TO EVALUATE THE STUDENT YET SHE HAD NO DISTRICT REQUIRES A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS ON THEIR MASK EXEMPTION FORMS. WE ASK THAT YOU STOP MASK REQUIREMENTS NOW THANK YOU.

>> OKAY NEXT I HAVE SIGNED UP ARTHUR WEINER.

>> GOOD EVENING AT LAKE WASHINGTON BOARD MEMBERS.

DR. HOLMAN. I AM DR. WEINER MY WIFE AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THREE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. I AM HERE IN FRONT OF THE LAKE WASHINGTON RESOURCE CENTER ASKING YOU WHY CAN'T YOU HOLD YOUR MEETINGS IN PUBLIC? OTHER GOVERNMENT BODIES IN THE SAME CITY ARE DOING SO. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.

MY SECOND.THIS EVENING IS LISTEN TO THE STUDY SESSION TONIGHT.

THEN I HEARD SEVERAL TIMES THAT UNDERREPRESENTED VOICES NEED TO BE AMPLIFIED. THAT IS QUITE INTERESTING ACTUALLY. CONSIDERING HOW THIS BOARD ADVANCES THE POSITION TO LOWER AND TO CREATE AN AMENDMENT TO LOWER VOTING REQUIREMENT TO A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR BONDS.

THAT POSITION TRAMPLES MINORITY OPINION.

[00:20:03]

LASTLY THIS EVENING I AM HERE TO SUPPORT ENDING THE MASK MANDATE.

MAKE THEM OPTIONAL FOR FAMILIES. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO OUR STUDENTS IS INCREDIBLY DETRIMENTAL.

YOU KNOW I LISTEN TO THE BEGINNING OF THE BOARD MEETING, AND I FIND IT REALLY FRUSTRATING THAT YOU ALL CHUCKLE ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN.

THERE'LL BE MORE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE CERTIFICATIONS IF WE DID NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE COVID-19 CHALLENGES.

YOU ALL CREATED THESE CHALLENGES.

YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS POSITION.

STAND UP FOR THE PUBLIC. STAND UP FOR INDIVIDUALS.

REJECT THE MASK MANDATES, REJECT THE VACCINE MANDATE, THAT RESEARCH SHOWS ARE REAL POSSIBILITY IN OUR STATE.

STAND UP FOR FREEDOM, REJECT THESE THINGS.

YOU ARE NOT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PUBLIC IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. DO RIGHT BY US.

WE VOTE, WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.

WE VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD NIGHT. >> NEXT WE HAVE SIGNED UP IS DR.

BEN LYNCH. >> GOOD EVENING I WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SAY THAT I AM MARRIED TO THE GRAPEVINE I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS RIGHT OR NOT. PERHAPS YOU ARE CONSIDERING EXTENDING THE MASK DESPITE WHAT THE GOVERNOR AND WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND STATE TO END THE MASK MANDATE COMING VARIES SOON. AND THE CDC HAS ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. AND MY KID IS SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT. HE IS LIKE THAT AM I ABLE TO TAKE THE MASK OFF MY FACE IS SOON? I SAID YES YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT YOU'LL GET THAT THING OFF YOUR FACE. HE SAYS WELL I DON'T REALLY WANT TO BACK ON OTHER GOTTA PUT IT BACK ON? I SAID NO WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. LOOK AT, MASKS HAVE HURT OUR KIDS. THIS CDC HAS REDUCED THE LEVEL OF COMPETENCY IN OUR CHILDREN, FOR NEW WORDS.

AND THAT IS BECAUSE MACS HAVE BEEN COVERING THEIR FACES.

AND IT IS SHOCKING. SO IN A PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE FOLLOW DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ALL GUIDELINES AS MASKS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED.

SO LET'S DO THAT THANK YOU. >> OKAY, I BUTCHERED YOUR NAME.

SO I WAS APOLOGIZING FOR DOING IT AND KNOW IT OR REDO IT SO YOUR TURN THANK FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR TIME AND FOR GIVING OUR FAMILIES AND OUR CHILDREN.

I JOIN TONIGHT BECAUSE I MIGHT COME UP MY LIFE IS A STORY OF WANTING FREEDOM. AND WANTING FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

LAST TIME I JOINED I SHARED MY STORY AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT STORY BY SHARING MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS STORY.

WHO RAN AWAY FROM ARMENIA DURING THE TURKISH ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.

BECAUSE NOBODY SPOKE UP BECAUSE NOBODY STOOD UP, MOST OF MY FAMILY WAS MASSACRED AND MADE TO WALK MANY DAYS TO IRAQ.

AND THEN FROM IRAQ THEY CAME TO IRAN WITH WE FOUND FREEDOM AND WE FOUND A VOICE AND CHOICE. AND THANK YOU HURT MY STORY LAST TIME I WILL POUR YOU AGAIN WITH I IRAN'S TRANSITION FROM THE KINGLY BEING TO THE AYATOLLAH TAKING OVER AND THAT IS TURNED OUT AS YOU CAN ALL SEE. WE CAME TO AMERICA.

AND THE BEST PART OF THIS COUNTRY THAT I HAVE COME TO LOVE IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT DREAM THAT MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS HAD FOR FREEDOM, FOR CHOICE, FOR ABILITY TO CHOOSE.

IF IN THIS LAND, THIS IS THE LAND THIS IS A SONG.

I'M SORRY I'M GOING TO BUTCHER IT.

IT SAYS I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WHERE I KNOW I AM FREE.

AND I WANT THIS FOR MY CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND AND I WANT THIS FOR OUR KIDS. WITHOUT AMERICA BEING FREAKED

[00:25:04]

ALL. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT NEXT WE HAVE SIGNED UP AS TYLER LETSON BERGER.

>> HI GOOD EVENING CAN YOU HEAR ME? I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS EVENING I WANTED TO ALSO CONGRATULATE QUEEN ELIZABETH FOR MAKING A FULL COVID-19 RECOVERY AND SHE IS 95. THAT MEANS THAT OUR KIDS AT THEIR AGE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE A FULL RECOVERY WHICH MY TWO KIDS HAVE DONE, ALREADY, SO THEY HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY THAT DOESN'T REALLY GET TALKED ABOUT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WITH THIS THAT HAS NOT BEEN TALKED ABOUT AND IT IS CREATING OBVIOUSLY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FRUSTRATION AMONGST THOSE PARENTS. THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY WITH OUR ABILITY TO HAVE A FOUR ROOM IS UNACCEPTABLE, OUR KIDS DO NOT NEED TO BE MASKED. THE TEACHERS ARE NOT IN AN AGE GROUP WHERE THEY NEED TO BE MASKED, AND OUR KIDS I CAN'T SPEAK FOR OTHER PARENTS AND THEIR KIDS TEACHERS.

BUT THE TEACHERS OF OUR KIDS ARE FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF AND THEY WANT THEM ASKING TO END AS WELL.

THERE HAS BEEN $135 BILLION IN THE COVID-19 RELIEF PLAN THAT WAS SENT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS NATIONALLY.

I HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION OF WHERE THAT MONEY HAS GONE WITHIN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR IMPROVING Q-UPPERCASE-LETTER SCHOOLS AND I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER.

THE PROBLEM IS WHAT WE ARE TOLD THAT THERE IS THAT WE ARE TALKING TO THE WRONG GROUP THAT YOU NEED TO GO TALK TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WHICH EVER HEALTH OFFICIAL IT IS, AND THEN LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY OF THE NEXT WEEK WE READ ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICT ELSEWHERE IN WASHINGTON STATE THAT HAS MADE UNILATERAL DECISIONS TO UNMASK THEIR KIDS, WE KNOW WE ARE BEING LIED TOO MUCH SO IT IS CREATING A SENSE OF COMPLETE LACK OF TRUST. I MEAN, WE SHOULD HAVE TRUST IN OUR SCHOOL BOARD IN A SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND A SUPERINTENDENCE.

WHEN WE ARE TOLD THAT THERE IS JUST AS MANY PARENTS AT A FORM ASKING AS THERE IS NOT MASKING. BUT YET THEY DON'T SHOW UP TO THESE MEETINGS, AND THEY DON'T SPEAK.

THAT JUST GOES TO THE LACK OF TRUST THAT WE HAVE AS PARENTS.

THE MASKING NEEDS TO END, THE LINE NEEDS TO END AND WITH TRANSPARENCY IT NEEDS TO INCREASE.

SO IF WE WANT TO HAVE ADULT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT COVID.

LET'S HAVE IT BUT LET'S NOT TARGETING OUR KIDS.

THANKS. >> NEXT SIGNED UP IS ANGELA

PFEIFFER. >> HELLO I HAVE STEPHANIE HERE SPEAKING NEXT I'LL TURN THE PHONE OVER TO HER WINTERTIME OKAY? ANGELA PFEIFFER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS I HAVE A CHILD IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. FEBRUARY 11 TO THE SHE HAD THE CDC PUBLISHED A STUDY AFFECTED IN SOME FACE PACKS AND RESPIRATORY USE FOR INDO PUBLIC SETTINGS.

FOR PREVENTION OF INFECTION. FIRST THIS IS AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY AND FROM THIS, WE CANNOT CLAIM ANY CAUSE AND EFFECT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SLIDES I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.

A POSHER TIME ON HERE. >> I APPRECIATE THAT.

BACK IT UP BACK IT UP. >> I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I SEE

IT BUT NOT UP RIGHT NOW. >> IT WENT ACTUALLY I THINK I'LL

[00:30:53]

>> YES STEPHANIE'S RIGHT HERE. >> ALL RIGHT SO SORRY IT'S STEPHANIE THE COVEN OKAY GO AHEAD.

>> ALL RIGHT THANKS, SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US TO SPEAK TONIGHT. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE LOOK OVER AND I HAVE TWO STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT.

ANGELA AND I ARE IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE WAITING TO GO TO CLIMATE EARLY ENOUGH FOR THE IMAGINE DRAGONS A CONCERT. WITH ABOUT 17,000 OTHER PEOPLE SOME OF WHOM ARE VACCINATED SOME AREN'T.

AFTER THIS SURVEY NO ONE WILL HAVE TO WEAR A MASK TO GO TO A CONCERT OR RESTAURANT OR GROCERY STORE OR OTHER INDO VENUES EITHER. THE WORLD IS OPENING UP AGAIN IT IS TIME. TO END VACCINE TEN MASKED MANDATES FROM COVID THAT ARE OUTDATED AND IRRELEVANT TO STUDENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TWO THINGS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE IMMEDIATE END TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S REQUIREMENT FOR VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF TO BE VACCINATED IN SCHOOLS, SINCE WE ARE NOW AT THE END OF THE STAGE OF THIS VIRUS. MANY OF US, REGARDLESS OF SO MANY OF US REGARDLESS OF VACCINATIONS THAT IT AND SINCE VACCINATIONS IS NOT ABOUT TRANSMISSION ABOUT OMA GROUND, REQUIRING A VACCINE TO ENTER SCHOOL IS COMPLETE THEATER.

MY SONS WHO IS A CHOICE WHO THAT IS STRUGGLING FROM A LACK OF VOLUNTEERS DUE TO THE MANDATE. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US WHO FILL THAT NEED, BUT WE HAD NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO VOLUNTEER IT IS RIDICULOUS. THE SECOND THING I LIKE TO SEE AND INTO THE MASK MANDATE IN SCHOOLS THAT COINCIDES WITH THE GOVERNOR'S DIRECTIVE THIS SATURDAY MARCH 12.

REGARDING THE SECOND REQUEST, I AM NOT ASKING THAT YOU DO ANYTHING THAT ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING.

EVEN IN NEW YORK CITY MASKED IN SCHOOLS WILL BE OPTIONAL STARTING TODAY. IN OREGON AND CALIFORNIA ARE SET TO END THE MASK MANDATE FOR SCHOOLS THIS SATURDAY.

SO WHY DID SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS JUST EXTEND THE MASK MANDATE UNTIL MAY? IT IS BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MY UNDERSTANDING AT LEAST, IS BECAUSE IN THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT THE TEACHERS UNION IS CALLING THE SHOTS.

THEY ARE ARGUING THAT MASK REQUIREMENTS BRING A SENSE OF NORMALCY QUOTE UNCLE, TWO CHILDREN.

IF YOU ARE ALSO BEING PRESSURED BY THE TEACHERS UNIT, THESE DO NOT SUCCUMB. TEACHERS WHO ARE STILL NERVOUS ABOUT CONTRACTING COVID CAN WEAR A WELL FITTED AND 95 MASK IF THEY CHOOSE, THEY CAN WEAR IN THE CAR WHILE THEY'RE WORKING ON THE STREET BY THEMSELVES. I DON'T REALLY CARE.

I DO CARE ABOUT MY CHILDREN AND HAVING THE RIGHT TO BREATHE FRESH AIR, AND SEE THEIR FACES OF OTHER KIDS AND ADULTS.

THAT IS NORMAL. IF EITHER STUDENTS ARE STILL NERVOUS AND WANT TO WEAR AND 95 MASK ALL EVEN A DIRTY CLOTH MASS AT FRESNO ACTUAL PROTECTION, BUT MAKES THEM FEEL MORE SECURE THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT. BUT THERE IT SHOULD NOT DICTATE YOUR POLICY. PLEASE VOTE TONIGHT TO UNMASK THE KIDS BY SATURDAY AND TO ALLOW UNVACCINATED ADULTS BACK

INTO SCHOOL THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> HAVE WE HAD ANY LUCK WITH THE POWERPOINT? IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WE ARE.

OKAY ONE MOMENT. CAN I JUST START OVER.

>> PLEASE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HERE WE GO, SO I AM ANGELA PFEIFFER, I'LL INTRODUCE MYSELF SO TO START AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 11 THIS YEAR THE CDC PUBLISHED A STUDY, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FACE MASS OF USE PERMIT INDIRECT PUBLIC SETTINGS FOR FOR INFECTION.

[00:35:03]

OBSERVATIONAL STUDY FROM THIS, WE CANNOT CLAIM ANY CONS IN EFFECT. WE CAN SIMPLY NOTE THAT THIS IS AN OBSERVATION, AND FROM THIS INFO WE CAN DESIGN RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED STUDIES THAT WE CAN CONFIRM CAUSE AND EFFECT.

SO AT FIRST GLANCE YOU WILL LOOKING AT IS PUT OUT BY THE CDC CLOTH MASS REDUCING COVID BY 56%.

SLIDE TO PLEASE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY THERE IS A #MASK WITH THE NOTATION THAT IT IS NOT SIGNIFICANT WHICH MEANS THE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY DID NOT SHOW THAT CLOTH MASS WERE ANY DIFFERENCE THEN NO MASK AND THAT ANY OBSERVED FINDING WAS DUE TO CHANCE. SO YOU WILL SEE THE #ON THAT SLIDE. FROM THIS THE SEATTLE TIMES PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE TITLED HOW TO PROLONG THE LIVES OF AND 95 MASK AND CREATED THEIR GRAPH, BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE RESULTS WERE NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT SO THAT BOTH THE SAME EXACT STUDY. THEN THEY ADDED A STATEMENT QUOTE, 56% LESS LIKELY TO CONTRACT CORONAVIRUS".

I SEE THIS INFO BEING PUSHED OUT ALONG NEWSPAPERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND EVERYWHERE, AND THIS IS HOW THIS INFORMATION IS EXPRESSED IN THE CDC IS TO BLAME FOR THIS.

IT IS INFORMATION THAT IS PERPETUATING POLARIZING VIEWS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS ALIKE. BY PUBLISHING THIS GRAPHIC, THE CDC IS SPREADING THE INFORMATION AND THEY ARE LETTING DOWN A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED THE PROTECTION FROM THE VIRUS AND NO IT IS NOT THE CHILDREN, IT IS PEOPLE 65 AND OVER AND THEY ARE THINKING GREAT, I WILL WEAR THIS CLOTH MASS BECAUSE I WILL REDUCE MY CHANCE OF GETTING COVID-19 BY 50% AND IS COMPLETE LIES. IN CLASS LAST WEEK MY MIDDLE SCHOOLS TEACHER PULLED UP COVID CATES RATES IN DAILY DEATH RATES ON SLIDES. AND THEY USE STATED THAT THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE CDC REMOVING A MASK RIGHT NOW AND THAT THE STUDENTS ONLY TO THINK LONG AND HARD ON THEIR DECISION TO GET RID OF THEIR MASK ON MARCH 12.

AND I THINK COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN A SPREAD ANSWER COMMUNITY.

MY CHILD INFERRED THAT IF IT SPREADS TO PEOPLE, AND THOSE PEOPLE DIE THE CHILDREN WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH.

AND THIS IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. THIS SPEAKS TO THE DEEPER ISSUES. THIS TEACHER IS A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND THEIR DISPENSING MEDICAL DEVICE.

THE AIR CAUSING ANXIETY AND COURSING THESE KIDS TO FIT THEIR AGENDA. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH THE POLICIES OF THE CUC TO DATE. YOU OF ALL REPEATEDLY STATED YOU FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES. YOU ARE NOW STATING THE MASS CAN BE OPTIONAL, AND NOW WE HAVE TEACHERS EXPRESSING THEIR WILL ON THE CHILDREN. IN THE TEACHERS UNION TRY TO HOLD THE SCHOOL HOSTAGE. MS. PFEIFFER WERE OVER 3 MINUTES

WRAP IT UP PLEASE. >> I LOVE TO DURING THE WINTER OMICRON AT THE SUBSEQUENT DECLINE STATES WITH MASKED MANDATES GENERALLY HAVE DONE WORSE THAN THOSE WITHOUT A MANDATE. IN CASES DECLINED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME REGARDLESS, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LEGITIMATE DATABASE ARGUMENT TO JUSTIFY A MASK MANDATE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU BOTH AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FLEXIBILITY. NEXT I HAVE RAMSEY RAMMER MEN.

OKAY THANK YOU TERESA. >> GOOD NAME MY NAME IS RAMSEY RAMMER MEN I'M A FATHER OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT IN THE DISTRICT. I AM HERE TONIGHT TO URGE THE BOARD TO VOTE TO LIFT THE MASKED MANDATES NO LATER THAN MARCH 12.

IT IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE COME BEFORE THE BOARD TO ASK THE BOARD TO LIFT THE MASS MANDATE. IN RESPONSE TO MY FIRST REQUEST, THE BOARD SAID THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO LIST THE PARENTS WHO DISAGREE WITH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

THE RESPONSE TO THE SECOND REQUESTS AND REQUESTS OF OTHER PARENTS THE BOARD SAID THE DECISION WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS, THE BOARD WAS REQUIRED TO FOLLOW GUIDANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND THE OPINION OF PARENTS WAS NOT EVEN A PARAMETER THAT THE BOARD WOULD CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING AT THE MASK MANDATE. SINCE MY LAST APPEARANCE, THE ELF COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED ITS GUIDANCE.

AND THE CDC HAS NOW RESCINDED ITS RECOMMENDATION FOR INDOOR MASK IN KING COUNTY. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AS SET MARCH 12 AS THE DATE THAT MASS MANDATE SHOULD END.

THUS THE CDC AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DON'T AGREE THAT THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MASS MANDATES AFTER MARCH 12.

UNFORTUNATELY THE TEACHERS UNION IS NOW PRESSURING THE DISTRICT TO KEEP THE MASKED MANDATES IN PLACE UNTIL MAY 1.

BUT THAT UNION'S VERY OWN LETTER MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS REQUEST IS BASED ON WIDESPREAD IGNORANCE OF THE SCIENCE.

AND THE FACT THAT THE TEACHERS ARE AFRAID AND DEPENDENT ON

[00:40:02]

BUT INSTEAD YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO CLAIM THAT YOU ARE POWERLESS.

THAT YOU HAD TO FOLLOW THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND YOU DON'T CARE WHAT PARENTS THINK WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN AND MASS. IF YOU WERE TO TURN AROUND AND IGNORE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, BASED ON AN UNSCIENTIFIC FEAR BASED OPINION OF TEACHERS UNION AND KEEP THE MANDATE AND PLACED AFTER MARCH 12 YOU WILL SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE PARENTS AND THE DISTRICT THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO IGNORE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH BUT ONLY TO PLACATE TEACHERS NOT WHEN IT WOULD PROTECT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. THUS TONIGHT I URGE YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND VOTE TONIGHT TO END THE MASKED MANDATES NO LATER THAN MARCH 12 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> NEXT WE HAVE SIGNED UP IS JENNIFER ZENTZ.

>> HI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR ALL OF US. ALSO THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVICE FOR ALL OF US.

YOU INSPIRE A LOT OF US TO GET INVOLVED SO THANK YOU.

I AM A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER AND IT WAS A SUBSTITUTE IN THE DISTRICT LAST YEAR IT WILL MORE BACK IN PERSON.

I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO DO IT. I'M HOPING THAT ALL OF THIS IS A MOOT ISSUE BECAUSE THE PORT IS NOT CONSIDERING EXTENDING TO MASS MANDATE. BUT JUST IN CASE I WANT TO VOICE MY OPINION I HAVE THREE KIDS IN THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT AT BEN FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY. I HAVE A THIRD, SECOND, AND A KINDERGARTNER. I HAVE ONE KID AT THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL, AND I CANNOT VOLUNTEER AT ALL BECAUSE I AM NOT VACCINATED. ALTHOUGH I HAVE HAD COVID-19 THAT I HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY. MY YOUNGEST 6-YEARS-OLD AS BEEN IN A MASK ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE INCLUDING PRESCHOOL.

ONE THIRD OF HIS LIFE. I HAVE HEARING LOSS AND I LIBERATE SO I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE HEARING LOSS AND TRY TO LEARN AT THE SAME TIME.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. THE CDC GUIDANCE IS OVER 90% OF THE U.S. POPULATION CAN DROP MASK.

IN THE U.S. NEWS REPORT. MARCH 12 THE WASHINGTON STATE WILL NO LONGER REQUIRED TO WEAR MASS IN K-12 SCHOOLS WHY WOULD IT BE A CONSIDERATION THAT STUDENTS WAS STILL DO THIS.

IF SCHOOLS FALL THE STATE STANDARDS CLOSELY LOWERS FOR THE WORSE FOR THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN THROWS INTO QUESTION THE ORIGINAL POLICY TO BEGIN WITH.

MEANING THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE KNOW BEST FOR THE SCIENTISTS ARE NOT UNLESS THE SCIENTISTS AGREE. JUMPED UP AND DOWN SHARING WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT THE MASS MANDATES ARE BEING DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT THE SMILES LOOK LIKE FROM THEIR FRIENDS HOW PEOPLE WOULD INCLUDE THEM AGAIN AND HOW THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BREATHE FREELY. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER MY MASS MANDATES BUT ON MARCH 12. SECOND THE VAX MANDATES.

LAST MONDAY OR LAST BOARD MEETING TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO BROUGHT UP HOW EXCITED WAS HER TO SIGN HIS CHILD UP FOR KINDERGARTEN I TOO WAS EXCITED I AM A TEACHER AND I WAS THRILLED TO GET MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I WAS ALSO EXCITED FOR ME, BECAUSE I WANT TO GO BACK TO TEACHING.

I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR TEN YEARS AND I AM SUPER EXCITED TO DO IT.

BUT WE HAVE AUTO IMMUNE DEFICIENCY IN OUR FAMILY WE HAVE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND THIS VACCINE SHOWS THAT IT HAS A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN VACCINE INJURY OR NOT THAT'S UP TO YOU.

I KNOW MY FAMILY HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THIS VACCINE. I WILL NOT TAKE THE RISK OF BEING UNABLE TO CARE FOR MY CHILDREN FOR WHAT THE CDC BECAUSE AN EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT.

I HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOLS AT ALL LEVELS.

MY DAUGHTER'S CLASS AT THE STAY HOME AND SCHOOL DUE TO TEACHER'S ABSENCE WHO HAD COVID-19. BUT I HAD NATURAL IMMUNITY BECAUSE I JUST HAD IT AND I COULD BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT CLASSROOM BECAUSE I AM ACTUALLY A SUBSTITUTE IN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT I CAN'T GOING TO TEACH.

I HAVE BEEN ON THE PTA FOR OUR SCHOOLS IN FOUR YEARS AND TWO OF THOSE YEARS. I'VE ORGANIZED EVENTS ADVOCATE FOR SCHOOL I HAVE BEEN ON EVERY EVENT THAT WE'VE HAD SINCE I'VE BEEN A PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND I STARTED ZOOM CALLS FROM A KINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM FROM

[00:45:02]

THOUGH THEY ARE UP-TO-DATE ON ALL VACCINES OF MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BULLIED BECAUSE FOR THE PUSH FOR VACCINES.

DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER HIM WAS A THING WHEN YOU DIDN'T HIT SHARE.

>> IF YOU CAN JUST CONCLUDE. >> OKAY I WILL FILL US THANK YOU THEIR GROUP MEETING FOR THE BUREAU OF HEALTH TALKED ABOUT ON THE CRON AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THE VACCINE WAS EFFECTIVE AGAINST OMICRON WHICH WE KNOW IS NOT BECAUSE EVERYONE GOT IT.

THEY ARE ASSUMING THAT ONLY OMICRON IS THE FUTURE COMING OF COVID-19. ALL OF THE INFORMATION WAS SKEWED. SO PLEASE ALLOW ME TOO MAKE DECISIONS FOR MY FAMILY IN TERMS OF VACCINATIONS THANK YOU.

I REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

>> THE FINAL PERSON WE HAVE IS ROB BOROWITZ.

>> HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? HI, MY NAME IS ROB HORWITZ I HAVE TWO KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR HIGH AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.

LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO CONSIDER WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT COVID-19 AND MASKING. WE KNOW COBIT POSES EXTREMELY LOW RISK TO CHILDREN, CDC DATA SUPPORT THIS.

WE KNOW THAT AT BEST MASK PROVIDE A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF PROTECTION AGAINST A RESPIRATORY VIRUS LIKE COVID THAT IS ASSUMING THE RIGHT KIND OF MASK FITTED PROPERLY AT ONE CONSISTENTLY. ALL ASSUMPTIONS THAT REALLY HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD. WE KNOW THAT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL MASKING, AND A SPECIAL CONTINUOUS MASKING COMES WITH REAL PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DOWNSIDES, TO NAME A FEW, DIRTY MASS, BREATHE IN EXCESS CARBON DIOXIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE FORCED TO MASK DURING EXERCISE AND PLAY.

AND DAYS DEVOID OF EVER SEEING CLASSMATES OR TEACHER SMILE.

AND WE KNOW ON A SOCIETAL LEVEL MASKING IS AT SERIOUS DOWNSIDES TOO. IT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MANY FOLKS TREATING OTHERS NOT AS PEOPLE BUT AS PATHOGENS.

DEMONIZING THOSE WHO OLD DIFFERENT OPINIONS.

PROMOTING A CLIMATE OF FEAR, TO SUMMARIZE AND THIS IS PUTTING IT NICELY, MASKING CHILDREN AT SCHOOL IS A NONSOLUTION TO A NONPROBLEM. AT THIS POINT IN OUR COVID-19 JOURNEY LET'S PAUSE TO ASK OURSELVES, WHAT KIND OF LIFE LESSONS DO WE AS ADULTS WANT TO FROM THIS EXPERIENCE IN PART TO OUR CHILDREN? I HAVE THREE SUGGESTIONS, FIRST BE AWARE OF BUT NOT RULED BY YOUR EMOTION.

ESPECIALLY FEAR. SECOND, TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR ACTIONS, ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MISTAKES AND DO YOUR BEST TO CORRECT THEM. AND THIRD, LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

SO I ASKED YOU, PLEASE AND THE IN SCHOOL MASK MANDATES PERMANENTLY. COMPLETELY, UNAMBIGUOUSLY, THE ONLY MANDATE SHOULD BE THAT EVERYONE BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS PERSONAL DECISIONS WHETHER OR NOT TO MASS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OKAY THAT IS ALL THE TELEVISED

PUBLIC, WE HAVE FOR TONIGHT. >> I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE BOARD RECEIVED PUBLIC COMMENT WRITTEN DUE TO TIME I'M NOT TOO ALLOWED TO READ THAT ALLOWED. DATA HAS BEEN COMPILED AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD AND IT IS POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE UNDER BOARD DOCS, FOR PUBLIC VIEWING.

ALL RIGHT THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO EITHER WRITE TO THE BOARD OR COME TO THE MEETING TONIGHT.

[E. Consent Agenda]

>> SO MOVED. >>

>> WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED, DR. A MOMENT WE PULLED THE BOARD. [VOTE]

>> OKAY THE MOTION CARRIES. WOULD YOU PLEASE SUMMARIZE WHAT

WE HAVE FOR THE MEETING? >> YES ABSOLUTELY TONIGHT WE HAVE OVER $67,000 OF DONATIONS, COMING FROM OUR PTAS.

ACROSS THE DISTRICT. ONE I WILL CONTINUE TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR ADVOCACY, FOR STUDENTS IN LAKE WASHINGTON AND ALSO, THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT HELP OUR SCHOOLS TO REACH

[F. Non-Consent Agenda]

[00:50:01]

>> OKAY NOW ONTO THE NONCONSENT AGENDA AT THE FIRST ITEM ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA IS REGARDING A PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE RESOURCE CENTER. DR. HOLMAN WILL YOU PLEASE GET

US STARTED ON THAT. >> YES IN THE PACKET TONIGHT, YOU HAVE A SITUATION RECOMMENDATION AND A RESOLUTION.

FOR YOU TO CONSIDER, AND POTENTIALLY TAKE ACTION ON TONIGHT. AS YOU KNOW THE DISTRICT OWNS AND OCCUPIES THE BUILDING THAT WE TYPICALLY HOLD OUR BOARD MEETING AND CALL THE SCAR RESOURCE CENTER.

IT USES THE RESOURCE CENTER FOR A VARIETY OF SCHOOL DISTRICT RELATED PURPOSES AND FUNCTIONS AN EXISTING EASEMENT PREVENTS LIMITED AND NOT EXCLUSIVE DISTRICT PARKING ON APPROXIMATELY 2.01-ACRE PRIVATELY OWNED GRAVEL LOT CALLED THE PARKING LOT, LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE RESOURCE CENTER. THE DISTRICT REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEDICATED AND SECURE PARKING FOR CONTINUED AND FUTURE FUNCTIONING OF THE RESOURCE CENTER.

THE DISTRICT DESIRES TO ACQUIRE THE PARK AND NOT FOR THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OR JUST COMPENSATION AS BASED ON THE DISTRICT APPRAISAL. ON FEBRUARY 7, 2022, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A RESOLUTION NUMBER 323 AUTHORIZING ACQUISITION OF THE PARKING LOT.

ON FEBRUARY 9, 2022 A WRITTEN OFFER WAS SENT TO G AND I READ MIN DEVELOPMENT IS THE CURRENT OWNER.

ON FEBRUARY 18, 2022 THE DISTRICT PROVIDED THE OWNER WITH WRITTEN NOTICE AND PUBLISHED NOTICE IN THE SEATTLE TIMES AND THE DAILY JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. WITH POSTINGS IN THE REDMOND REPORTER AND CONSIDERING FINAL ACTION OF CONDEMNATION OF THE PARKING LOT. THE BOARD'S FINAL ACTION WOULD ALSO AUTHORIZE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION TO PURSUE ACQUISITION OF A PARKING LOT IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION.

ANY PERSON DESIRING TO PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE PROPOSED FINAL ACTION AT OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT OF TONIGHT'S BOARD MEETING. I WANT TO INDICATE THAT THE BOARD DID RECEIVE WRITTEN COMMENT REGARDING THIS PROPERTY.

THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION RECOGNIZES THE PUBLIC NECESSITY OF THE PARKING LOT FOR THE DISTRICT CONTINUING SCHOOL PURPOSES IT ALSO AUTHORIZES THE DISTRICT'S FILING OF A PETITION FOR CONDEMNATION OF THE PARKING LOT AND AUTHORIZES DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION TO PURSUE ACQUISITION OF THE PARKING LOT IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION. ONE ADDITIONAL NOTE BEFORE I ASKED ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT BARBER POSTHUMOUS TO PROVIDE A BRIEF PRESENTATION. WHEN THE BOARD IS MAKING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE POTENTIAL PURCHASE OR SALE OF PROPERTY.

BASED ON OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT.

THOSE DISCUSSIONS OCCUR IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

AND THE BOARD HAS HELD EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING THIS PROPERTY.

SO BARBARA I WILL HANDED OVER TO YOU TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO

THE BOARD. >> IF I MAY ASK A QUICK

QUESTION? >> YES ABSOLUTELY.

>> YOU HAVE MENTIONED A WRITTEN COMMENT IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I COULD NOT ACCESS IN ATTACHED LETTER THAT IT WAS REFERENCE.

AND I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE THE LETTER THAT YOU ARE SPEAKING TO.

>> GREAT, WE WILL GET THAT UPLOADED TO THE BOARD HAS THAT

COMMENT AS WELL. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> WELL THANK YOU DR. HOLMAN, AND I WANT TO SHARE A BRIEF INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROPERTY SO YOU HAVE A VISUAL. OF THE INFORMATION.

SO, JUST A HIGHLIGHT OF THE SIDELIGHT INFORMATION AND SO G AND I SEVEN REDMOND DEVELOPMENT IS THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, JS AGE PROPERTIES MANAGES THE PROPERTY THE SITE IS 2.1 ACRES THAT LIKELY WOULD BE 1.73 ACRES AFTER A RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION. THERE IS A NONEXCLUSIVE EASE AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS PARKING FOR 17 LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOLED VEHICLES. AS DR. HOLMAN SAID THE DISTRICT WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LONG-TERM PARKING.

IN SECURING EXCLUSIVELY WOULD ALLOW CONTINUOUS PARKING FOR RESOURCE CENTER STAFF. PARENTS AND VISITORS.

THIS IS A MAP OVERVIEW OF THE SITE, SO YOU CAN SEE FROM THE

[00:55:03]

THE PARKING LOT IS ADJACENT TO THE NORTH.

SO ACCESS TO OTHER NON- RESERVED PARKING THROUGHOUT TOWN CENTER, IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT INSUFFICIENT FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE RESOURCE CENTER. TIMELINE ON THE BOARD MEETING ON FEBRUARY 7 THE BOARD TOOK ACTION APPROVING THEY SHOULD ALL BE 2022, I GUESS I FORGOT WHAT YEAR WE WERE IN.

SO AT THE BOARD MEETING ON FEBRUARY 7, 2022, THE BOARD TOOK ACTION APPROVING AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE AN OFFER ON FEBRUARY 9, A WRITTEN OFFER WAS SENT TO THE OWNER AND THE OWNER FORMALLY REJECTED THAT OFFER. ON FEBRUARY 18, THE OWNER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PLANT CONSIDERATION OF FINAL ACTION, AND AUTHORIZATION OF CONDEMNATION.

AND NOTICES WERE PUBLISHED IN THE SEATTLE TIME AND DAILY JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. AND ON MARCH 7 WHICH IS TONIGHT, THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER ACTION OF CONDEMNATION.

IN JUST THE TERM FINAL ACTION IS A REQUIRED TURN PER RELEVANT STATUTORY AUTHORITY. AS DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED WE RECEIVED A COMMENT LETTER BY THE OWNER, AND WE WILL REACH OUT TO THE OWNERS TO DISCUSS ANY PROPOSALS THAT THEY MAY HAVE, THAT THEY MAY WORK FOR THE DISTRICT'S PUBLIC PURPOSE.

THE DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE A MUTUAL AGREEMENT.

THE BOARD'S ACTION TONIGHT WILL ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO PURSUE ALL AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVES AS NEEDED TO ADDRESS CRITICAL NEED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE ACT INCLUDES I WILL STOP PRESENTING. OKAY SO WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON THIS ALREADY AT THE EXECUTIVE SESSION I WILL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2330. 2330.

AND RESOLVE THE NEED TO ACQUIRE THE PARKING LOT FOR CONTINUED FUNCTIONING AND OPERATION OF THE RESOURCE CENTER FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES. AND AS A PUBLIC USE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC AND TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR HIS DESIGNEE TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS NECESSARY TO CONDEMN OR ACQUIRE IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION THE PARKING LOT FOR THE APPRAISED

JUST COMPENSATION. >> SO MOVED.

>> THANK YOU. >> SECOND.

>> MOVED BY DIRECTOR STEWART AND SECOND BY DIRECTOR CARLSON.

WITH THE BOARD MOVE AS I JUST PRESENTED, ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY, HEARING NONE ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION AS PRESENTED THAT IS TO ADOPT RESOLUTION INCLUSION OF A ADOPTION 2330 AND EVERYTHING IS A CLUE THE MOTION PLEASE -- PLEASE SIGNIFY BY VOTING AYE. [VOTE] ANY POST? HEARING NONE THE MOTION IS UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT, DR. HOLMAN, DO WE TALK ABOUT IT? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE

WE COVERED EVERYTHING THERE? >> WHERE THERE ANY ABSTENTIONS?

>> YES, I WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ABSTENTION ON THAT.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A PUBLIC HEARING, I LET ME JUST BEFORE I MOVE ON LEVER REFLECT THAT MAKE SURE RECORD REFLECTS IT CLEARLY.

THERE WERE FOUR IN FAVOR AND ONE ABSTENTION AND THE MOTION PASSES. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A PUBLIC HEARING DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AND THE PROPOSED CHANGE TO OPERATIONAL GOVERNANCE POLICY ONE.

DR. HOLMAN CAN YOU GET US STARTED.

YES, AS THE BOARD KNOWS, AFTER THE CENSUS THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT, THOSE ARE THE BOUNDARIES OF WHICH THE FIVE DIRECTORS. THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT MUST RESIDE. AND SO THE SITUATION RECOMMENDATION IN THE BOARD PACKET STATES THAT A PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE OPERATIONAL GOVERNANCE POLICY OG P-1, SCHOOL

[01:00:01]

THOSE COPIES ARE IN THE BOARD PACKET AS WELL, SHOWING THE ADJUSTED MAP AND ALSO THE POLICY LANGUAGE PROVIDING THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR THE BOUNDARY OF THOSE DIRECTOR DISTRICTS.

THESE ARE CW'S REQUIRE EACH MUNICIPALITY TO REDISTRICT TO ENSURE EQUITABLE GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION AFTER EVERY TEN YEARS CENSUS. SINCE THE LAST REALIGNMENT OF THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES IN 2,001, THERE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL SHIFT IN POPULATION GROWTH.

CURRENTLY THE DIRECTOR BOUNDARIES VERY IN POPULATION FROM A LOW OF 38,389, AND DISTRICT ONE, 246,864 IN DISTRICT FIVE. SO IN YOUR PACKET YOU WILL SEE THE PROPOSED CHANGES, THAT WERE DEVELOPED BY SAMMAMISH DATA SYSTEM. THE BOARD REVIEWED IN A STUDY SESSION, THE BOARD HAD QUESTIONS, WE PROVIDED RESPONSE TO THE DATA REQUEST OF THE BOARD, AND THAT FOR BILL FULFILLED THE BOARD'S QUESTIONS. THE DATA SYSTEMS IS A FIRM SPECIALIZING IN DEMOGRAPHIC AND MAPPING SYSTEMS. THE PROPOSED CHANGES PROVIDED AN EQUITABLE GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION FOR THE NEW PROPOSED DIRECTOR DISTRICTS.

ON FEBRUARY 15, 2022 A PRESS RELEASE WAS ISSUED AND ANNOUNCE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES, THEY HAVE BEEN POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE BOARD MEETING TONIGHT AGAIN IN YOUR BOARD PACKET YOU HAVE OG P -- ZERO ONE WHICH DOES PROVIDE LEGAL DESCRIPTION CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPOSED MAPS, THESE CHANGES WOULD BALANCE THE DIRECT DISTRICT POPULATION SO THAT ALL FIVE DISTRICTS THAT ARE APPROXIMATELY 42,962 RESIDENTS. ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT BOB PREPOSTEROUS AT BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD.

>> I DO I WILL SURE THAT, ALL RIGHT HOLD ON, IT WAS HIDING IN MY LIST. BETWEEN ALL OF THE OF THE POWERPOINT. ALL RIGHT, SO GOOD EVENING THIS IS A SIMILAR PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE SHARED AT A PREVIOUS STUDY SESSION. SO I WILL GO OVER SOME SLIDES TONIGHT TO GO OVER THE PROCESS, SO THE FIRST COUPLE SLIDES ARE REVIEWING THE RCW, THAT BRINGS US HERE TONIGHT.

SO, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH SCHOOL OR DISTRICT DIRECTORS TO PREPARE FOR THE REDIVISION OF THE DISTRICT INTO DIRECTOR DISTRICTS NO LATER THAN EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF THE FEDERAL THE CENTER CENSUS DATA.

SO, IT IS ALSO THE RESPONSIBILITY AGAIN AFTER REDISTRICTING BASED ON THE MOST RECENT CENSUS DATA AND NO LONGER THAN EIGHT MONTHS SO AGAIN DIFFERENT RCW SAME REQUIREMENT.

THE PLANT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA.

THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT SHALL BE EQUAL IN POPULATION, AND EACH DISTRICT SHALL BE AS COMPACT AS POSSIBLE.

IT SHALL CONSIST OF GEOGRAPHIC CONTIGUOUS AREAS, AND THE POPULATION THAT IT MAY NOT BE USED FOR PURPOSES OF FAVORING OR DISFAVORING ANY RACIAL GROUP. TO THE EXTENT FEASIBLE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES SHALL COINCIDE WITH EXISTING PRESERVING EXISTING COMMUNITIES OF RELATED AND MUTUAL INTEREST.

DOING THE ADOPTION OF PLAN ACKNOWLEDGE CHEERFUL AND REASONABLE NOTICE OF ITS ACTIONS PROVIDED AND WILL HOLD ONE PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, AND THAT HEARING SHOULD BE AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE ADOPTION OF THE FINAL PLAN.

BECAUSE OF THE DELAY CENSUS THE EVERY TEN YEARS CENSUS THERE WAS

[01:05:01]

SO AGAIN PART OF THE GORGE ABOVE THE GOVERNANCE POLICY OG P01, IS REPEATING SOME OF THOSE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO ESTABLISH THE BOUNDARIES. IN OG PO ONE CONTAINS THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THOSE BOUNDARIES. SO THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WITH THE BOUNDARY CHANGES DO DO AND WHAT THEY DO NOT DO. THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES DO NOT IMPACT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES.

SO IT DOES NOT DOES NOT IMPACT VOTING AGAINST ALL OR DIRECTORS IN ALL OUR ELECTED AT LARGE THAT IT DOES NOT AFFECT COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIS CONSTITUENTS.

IT DOES IMPACT GEOGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES AND IT IMPACTS WHERE CANDIDATES MUST LIVE SO THE TIMELINE THAT HAS BEEN FOLLOWED FOR THIS THIS REDISTRICTING IN OCTOBER WE DID STATUS SYSTEMS REVIEW THE STATUS AS EXPECTED ARE POPULATION DID SHIFT, SO THEY WENT INTO PHASE TWO, AND CREATED A DRAFT OF A DIRECTOR DISTRICT IN NOVEMBER.

WE SHARED THAT DRAFT FOR THE BOARD WITH 2022, AND IN FEBRUARY AT THE END OF FEBRUARY WE ISSUED THE PRESS RELEASE AND POSTED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANGES ON A WEBSITE AND WE ARE HERE TONIGHT AT THE BOARD MEETING AND WE WILL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN AT THE END OF MARCH THE SECOND BOARD MEETING IN MARCH WE WILL HAVE THE FIRST READING THE OG P POLICY.

AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A SECOND READING IN THE BOARD WILL TAKE ACTION. THEN WE HAVE OUR FINAL DEADLINE OF NOVEMBER 15 TO ADOPT THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT.

AGAIN WE ANTICIPATE TAKING BOARD ACTION IN APRIL.

SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE CURRENT DIRECTOR BOUNDARIES THAT ARE SET IN 2011. AND BASED ON THOSE BOUNDARIES, THE POPULATION IN EACH OF THOSE DIRECTOR DISTRICTS AS YOU CAN SEE RANGE FROM 38,389, 246864. SO WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES IN ORDER TO BALANCE THOSE POPULATIONS.

SO, THIS IS A MAP OF THE PROPOSED DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND SO AT THE LEFT, LET ME GET MY POINTER HERE.

THIS AREA IN PINK, WAS MOVED BELOW THE LINE, IT WAS MOVED FROM DIRECTOR DISTRICT TO TO DIRECTOR DISTRICT ONE.

THE AREAS HERE, WERE MOVED FROM DIRECTOR DISTRICT THREE AND PURPLE TO DIRECTOR DISTRICT TO IN BROWN.

THIS AREA ALONG WILLOWS WAS MOVED FROM DIRECTOR DISTRICT FIVE, DIRECTOR DISTRICT THREE. AND THEN THIS, THERE IS A TINY AREA AROUND MARY MOORE THAT IS REMOVED FROM DIRECTOR DISTRICT FOR-2. SO IT WENT FROM YELLOW TO BROWN.

IN THIS AREA AROUND MARY MOORE WENT FROM DIRECTOR DISTRICT TO TO DIRECTOR DISTRICT FOUR. SO THOSE ARE THE CHANGES.

AND WITH THOSE CHANGES, THE POPULATION WILL BE BALANCE TO AN AVERAGE OF 42,962 RESIDENTS IN EACH DIRECTOR DISTRICT.

SO AS I'VE MENTIONED THE NEXT STEPS, WE HAVE PUBLISHED A PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING THE PUBLIC AIRING TONIGHT, AND POSTED THAT ON OUR WEBSITE, TONIGHT, I AM PRESENTING THE INFORMATION, WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC AIRING AT THE MARCH 28 MEETING, WE WILL HAVE THAT FIRST READING OF THE POLICY AGAIN THAT POLICY IS INCLUDED IN TONIGHT'S BOARD PACKET. AND THEN ON APRIL 18 WE WILL HAVE THE SECOND READING, AND BOARD ACTION.

[01:10:01]

I WILL GO AHEAD AND STOP SHARING, AND TIME FOR BOARD

QUESTION OR DISCUSSION. >> ANY QUESTIONS TONIGHT?

>> I HAD A QUICK FOLLOW-UP FROM STUDY SESSION.

I BELIEVE WE ASKED IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET THE DEMOGRAPHIC IMPACTS? WAS THAT EVER PROVIDED DID I

MISS THAT? >> IT WAS, IT WAS SHARED ON FEBRUARY 10. WITH THE BOARD.

SO WE CAN GET ANOTHER COPY TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

>> OKAY. >> DO YOU WANT TO SAY WHAT THE OUTCOMES OF THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED?

>> YEAH THE POPULATION DATA, I MEAN, IT DID NOT, I MEAN, THE CHANGES IN THE DIRECTOR DISTRICTS DID NOT FAVOR OR DISFAVOR ANY RACIAL GROUP, SO IT DID NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THAT.

>> DIRECTOR CARLSON? >> YEAH SO THANK YOU FOR THE SUMMER AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING IS NOT HAPPEN TWICE IN MY TENURE. IS THERE A WAY WE CAN LEAVE A NOTE FOR TEN YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, BECAUSE THE CRITERIA THAT IS OUT THERE, INCLUDE YOU KNOW RECOGNIZE NATURAL BOUNDARIES AND PRESERVE COMMUNITIES AS A WAY AS A BOARD WITH LEAVING A TRAIL OF BREADCRUMBS. AND TO THE BEST POSSIBLE DON'T UNSEAT ANY SEATING DIRECTORS. THAT IS NOT HAPPENING THIS TIME, BUT IF HER DIRECTOR LIVED IN ONE OF THOSE REGIONS A SWITCH FROM ONE TO ANOTHER, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RUN FOR THE NEXT CYCLE. ANYWAY, IT IS JUST SOMETHING FOR FUTURE IT IS NOT TODAY'S PROBLEM.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT IN THE CRITERIA.

>> I DISAGREE WITH DIRECTOR CARLSON.

I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE A CRITERIA.

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO ME AT ALL. >> THIS IS MY MESSAGE TO TEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE. ON MARCH 7, 2022 THAT WAS NOT

IMPORTANT TO ME TODAY. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

THAT IT IS NOT A CRITERIA THAT SHOULD BE UTILIZES.

IS THERE A MECHANISM TO ADDRESS THAT SHOULD THAT OCCUR AS YOU

CREATE THOSE BOUNDARIES. >> WHICH ARE?

>> BASICALLY HOW YOU CAN'T RUN AGAIN FOR THE DISTRICT WHAT YOU ARE, YOU GET TO COMPLETE YOUR TERM, THERE IS LOTS OF OPTIONS

ON HOW YOU HANDLE IT. >> SO IF THERE WERE THE FIVE OF US AND WE WOUND UP LIVING IN FOUR DISTRICTS THEN WHEN I WAS CAN TRY TO UNSEAT ONE OF THE OTHERS? I REALLY THINK THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

BUT THAT IS OKAY IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN LAW.

>> ALL RIGHT SOUNDS FUN TO ME. ALL RIGHT, SO SO NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN TONIGHT. DO WE NEED TO FORMALLY OPEN I KNOW WE PUBLISH IT I KNOW WE OPEN THE PUBLIC AIRING, I KNOW

WE NEED TO SAY THOSE WORDS. >> YES.

>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, THE PUBLIC AIRING ON THE CHANGES TO DIRECTOR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES IS NOW OPEN, IT IS OPEN UNTIL MARC? IS THAT RIGHT? DO I HAVE THAT CORRECT? OKAY AND THOSE INTERESTED IN PROVIDING PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT CAN E-MAIL THE BOARD AND OR TERESA HARDING, IS THAT FOR THOSE ASSUMING THOSE PARTIES HOW SHOULD THEY DOCUMENT THOSE

COMMENTS? >> DATE REQUEST OR SPEAK THE SAME WAY THEY DO FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> OKAY GREAT. AND WE WILL, I ASSUME WE WILL

ALSO ACCEPT THAT PUBLIC? >> CORRECT.

>> OKAY, AND E-MAIL TERESA HARDING AT T HARDING AT LW W WE.ORG IF YOU WERE TO DO THAT. AND IF YOU WISH TO PROVIDE TELEVISED COMMENT ON THE DIRECTOR DISTRICT BROWNIES MAY BE SO ON MARCH 28. OKAY THANK YOU.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS MONITORING REPORT FOR OE-7.

ASSET PROTECTION. DR. HOLMAN CAN YOU GIVE US A

QUICK PRESENTATION ON THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY, AND STILL

[01:15:03]

AS IN COMPLIANCE. >> GREAT ANY BOARD MEMBER OR ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING THAT ARE IN THE OE-7 MONITORING REPORT? OKAY, I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS RAISED, I WILL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 08-7 MODULE REPORT AS PRESENTED WHICH

IS IN COMPLIANCE. >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> I THINK DIRECTOR BLISS ACT WON THAT ONE AND A MOVE BY DIRECTOR CARLSON.

THAT WE APPROVE THE OE-7 MODULE REPORT WHICH IS IN COMPLIANCE.

ANY DISCUSSION FROM ANYONE ON THE BOARD?

>> JUST A QUICK THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT, AND FILLING THAT OUT AND HAVING SOME CLEAR INDICATORS AND THOSE COMPONENTS BEING

CLEARLY DEFINED SO THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER BOARD COMMENT? OKAY, HEARING NONE ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY VOTING AYE. >[VOTE]

>> ANY OPPOSED? OKAY HEARING NONE, THE MOTION PASSES, AND THAT ONE WAS UNANIMOUS.

GOOD CATCH, IT IS HARD ON ZOOM TOO.

TO HEAR EVERYONE TRYING TO READ LIPS SORT OF.

OKAY THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, IS MONITORING REPORT FOR RESULTS TOO. DR. HOLMAN.

>> SO A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WE BOUGHT TWO RESULTS ONE, TONIGHT WE BRING RESULTS TWO. THESE ARE RESULTS OF THE MONITORING THAT WE DID EARLIER THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

SO AS THE BOARD IS AWARE, THE SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENT THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS IN SPRING, OCCURRED IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR, SO ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT MIKE VAN ORTON IS HERE TO PRESENT INFORMATION AND SHARED SOME OF THE RESULTS REGARDING RESULTS TO

AND MONITORING OF THAT MIKE? >> THANKS CAN YOU SEE THE PRESENTATION OKAY. THE UPDATE TONIGHT IS REALLY AROUND THE STATE ASSESSMENT RESULTS, AND IF YOU RECALL THE RESULTS TEAM HAS OTHER INDICATORS INCLUDING THINGS LIKE COURSE TAKING INGRATES IN A FAST FOR DISSENSION.

SO TONIGHT THE FOCUS IS ON THE SMART A BALANCED ASSESSMENT AND WASHINGTON COMPREHENSION ASSESSMENT OF SCIENCE WHICH MEASURES STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN THESE THREE AREAS OF LITERACY AND LANGUAGE, MATHEMATIC REGIONS AND PARTICLE SIZE.

SO THOSE ARE THREE OF THE MONITORING AREAS OF SEVEN.

I ALSO I THINK YOU ARE AWARE OF THE SMART BALANCE ASSESSMENT AND WASHINGTON COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT WERE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. SO DICK SUITS AND CONSIDERATIONS IN KEY POINT IS WE SHARE THE DATA WITH YOU.

AS DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED IT WAS ADMINISTERED IN THE FALL THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO THE SPRING JUST THE TIMING OF THE ASSESSMENT ITSELF CAN CREATE DIFFERENCES IN HOW STUDENTS PERFORM SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT FOR EXAMPLE ON OUR CURRENT NINTH GRADERS TOOK THE EIGHT GRADE ASSESSMENT.

AND SO WHAT YOU WILL SEE TONIGHT IS UC EIGHTH GRADE RESULTS BUT THOSE ARE TAKEN BY NINTH GRADE STUDENTS JUST FOR CONTEXT THOSE NINTH GRADE STUDENTS WERE IN A DIFFERENT SCHOOL IN THE FALL THREE OR FOUR MONTHS SEPARATED FROM THAT LEARNING THE CONTENT, AND THOSE FACTORS INFLUENCE STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT ASSESSMENT RESULTS NEED TO BE INTERPRETED KNOWING THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THEY WERE MINISTERED.

THE OTHER THING TO KNOW THE ASSESSMENT ITSELF WAS SHORTER THIS YEAR THERE WAS NO WRITTEN COMPONENTS OR EXPLANATION OF RESPONSES WHICH AGAIN CAN INFLUENCE HOW STUDENTS PERFORM ON THE ASSESSMENT. SOME CASES ARE BETTER IN SOME CASES NOT. WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT USING THE DATA FROM THIS YEAR'S ADMINISTRATION AND THE

[01:20:04]

BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT THAT BEING SAID THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN CONSIDER AS WE ARE USING.

ONE WE NOTE STUDENTS ARE NO REMOTE ENVIRONMENT SO THIS IS HOW IT TOOK PLACE OR HOW IT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT ALSO WE ARE SEEING SIMILAR PATTERNS WITH THE SMARTER BALANCE AND RESULTS THAT WE SEE IN OTHERS WHICH ALLOWS US TO SEE VERIFICATION OF OTHER AREAS WHERE TRENDS ARE SIMILAR.

AND AT THE SAME TIME IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WERE SOME DIFFERENCES SO IF YOU RECALL FROM THE ARE TO REPORT THERE WERE SOME AREAS THAT SHOW PROMISE AND GROWTH, AND WHAT YOU SEE IN THE SMARTER BALANCE IN RESULTS IS THAT.

THE RESULTS ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION DIRECTED TOWARD.

>> DO WE KNOW IF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS ARE TAKEN ACCOUNT WHEN THEY WERE GIVEN THE ASSESSMENT OR WHEN THE ASSESSMENT WAS CREATED? LIKE DID THEY TRIED TO ACCOUNT

FOR ANY OF THAT. >> YES THERE WAS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THE ASSESSMENT WAS DIFFERENT, PART OF THIS WAS A FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENT, SO WE DID GIVE THE ASSESSMENT AND AT THE SAME TIME I THINK THERE WAS FROM WASHINGTON STATE, AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT WAS JUST A VERY DIFFERENT TEST. SO LIKE I AM DOING TONIGHT, A LOT OF CAVEATS AND CAUTIONS AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO US THAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT MORE.

DID I MISS ANYTHING? THINK SO.

WANTING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE DATA.

THIS IS ALSO IN THEIR MONITORING REPORT UPDATE THAT YOU RECEIVED LAST THURSDAY YOU KNOW THE FIRST TIME I THINK WE ALL LOOK AT THIS, NOT ONLY IN LAKE WASHINGTON BUT IT ACROSS THE STATE. ALMOST IN EVERY CONTENT AREA AND GRADE LEVEL WE SAW DROPS IN PERFORMANCE.

EVEN RECOGNIZING ALL OF THE CAUTIONS THAT I SHARE WITH YOU THOSE WERE CONCERNING. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO TEASE OUT HOW MUCH OF THAT WAS A RESULT OF THE CONDITIONS WERE STUDENTS WERE LEARNING AND HOW MUCH OF IT WAS AS A RESULT OF THE ASSESSMENT BEING DIFFERENT, SO YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE BOARD WE WILL BELOW TARGET IN EVERY GROUP AND BY GRADE LEVEL A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE IN THE DATA, WE WILL SEE THAT OUR PERFORMANCE IN RELATION TO OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE REGION, THESE ARE COMPARISON DISTRICTS. WAS TYPICALLY HIGHER.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING TO NOTE THAT IS A PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT ALLOWS US TO USE THIS DATA AND SO AGAIN ALSO IS A RECOGNITION THAT OTHER DISTRICTS WERE ALSO IN A SIMILAR PLACE WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE DECLINING OVER TIME BETWEEN THE LAST TIME WE GIVE THE ASSESSMENT AND THE SHARE.

IN MOST CASES FOR ELA IN GRADES 35 AND EIGHT WE WERE THE SECOND HIGHEST PERFORMING TYPICALLY BEHIND MERCER ISLAND.

AND IN MANY OF THOSE CASES WE WERE SECOND OR THIRD JUST BASED ON OTHER DISTRICTS, SO THAT INFORMATION IN THE COMPARISON DISTRICT DATA IS IN THE REPORT THAT YOU RECEIVED ON THURSDAY AS WELL. AGAIN JUST ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WAS A UNIQUE ASSESSMENT THIS YEAR THE OTHER THING TO NOTE ON THIS FOR SEVERAL TENTH GRADE NOT QUITE THE SAME PATTERN.

I HAVE AN INTERPRETATION OF THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT.

AGAIN, THIS WAS A TENTH GRADE ASSESSMENT BUT 11TH GRADERS WERE TAKING IT. MANY OF THE 11TH GRADERS HAVE MET GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING NOW WHAT IS CALLED A PATH OR REQUIREMENT WHICH COULD BE ASSESSMENT.

IT COULD ALSO BE OTHER THINGS, THERE IS ALSO 11TH GRADERS WHO ARE A LITTLE MORE SAVVY IN RECOGNIZING THAT THIS MAY NOT BE A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT FOR THEM.

SO THERE MAY BE SOME MOTIVATION FACTORING INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL RESULTS. JUST SAVVY STUDENTS THAT RECOGNIZE WE DON'T NEED THIS TASK, AND JUST LIKE YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST STARTED HAVING STATE ASSESSMENTS AND THEY WEREN'T A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT THE SCORE IS ARE PRETTY LOW AND IT SEEMS IT BECAME A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT SCORES INCREASE.

SO I THINK THAT IS PART OF IT. THAT IS NOT TO SAY THERE IS WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO WILL TALK ABOUT THIS IN SYRIA.

SIMILAR FOR MATH. AND AGAIN CONCERNING WHEN YOU FIRST LOOK AT IT IN RELATION TO COMPARISON DISTRICT.

IN THE AMOUNT WE FELT IN COMPARED TO RELATION DISTRICTS.

GIVEN THE UNIQUE CONDITIONS OF THE ASSESSMENT, THERE IS SOME WONDERING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF THAT IS THE ASSESSMENT AND HOW MUCH IS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE STUDENTS HAVE LAST YEAR.

BUT AGAIN OUR PERFORMANCE IN RELATION TO NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS WAS RELATIVELY HIGH. AND AGAIN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

[01:25:03]

SCIENCE WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WE HAD SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE FOR A COUPLE GRADE LEVELS AND A COUPLE OF GROUPS IN SCIENCE. IN FACT COMPARABLE TO BEFORE COVERT. THERE IS AGAIN PROBABLY A LOT OF FACTORS THAT PLAY THAT ONE COULD BE THE ASSESSMENT ITSELF IT MIGHT'VE BEEN ON A LOCAL BAR. IT COULD BE THAT TEACHERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF IF WE ARE GOING TO SAY THAT THE ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR THINGS WEREN'T WORKING VERY WELL IT WOULD PROBABLY RESULT OF THE ASSESSMENT. WE SHOULD ALSO FACTOR IN THAT WE THOUGHT ON THIS UNIQUE CARE. THAT THAT MIGHT ALSO BE A FUNCTION OF THE ASSESSMENT. WE HAD TO BE CAREFUL AND NOT READING TOO MUCH INTO THESE. BUT AGAIN OUR PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE AND THE NUMBER OF ERRORS IS THE HIGHEST PERFORMING IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. THEN AGAIN SOME OF THAT IS DUE TO THE HARD WORK THE TEACHERS ARE DOING.

BUT WE KNOW OUR ELA AND MATH TEACHERS ARE ALSO WORKING HARD.

SO I THINK THE BIG QUESTION THAT FOLKS HAVE AFTER THIS, IS WHAT DO YOU DO AFTER THIS INFORMATION WHAT ARE THE TAKEAWAYS? FOR US AGAIN IT IS IMPORTANT I CAN OVEREMPHASIZES THE CAUTION SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED DURING TO PRIOR YEARS.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO SAY THIS IS A DOWNWARD TRAN AND WE COMPLETELY CHANGE COURSE, WITH THAT BEING SAID WE ALSO KNOW LEARNING IS DIFFERENT THAN LASHER AND IS PROBABLY WORK WE HAVE TO DO TO GET KIDS BACK TO A PLACE WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD I NOT EXPERIENCED COVID-19.

AGAIN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE WAS HIGH RELATIVE TO THIS. DEFINITELY IN RELATION TO THE STATE IN RELATION TO NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS.

ALSO THIS IS SOMEWHAT A POINT OF VERIFICATION FOR OTHER ASSESSMENTS THAT WE HAVE. WE SEE SIMILAR TRENDS, ALTHOUGH THE ASSESSMENT WAS DIFFERENT WE DO SEE PATTERNS THAT INDICATE TO US THAT IS THE WORK TO DO FOR MANY OF OUR GROUPS OF STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. AND SO WE CAN USE THAT SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT AS ONE POINT OF INFORMATION BUT NOT THE ONLY POINT OF INFORMATION. SO WHEN WE HOLD UP A SMART A BALANCE ASSESSMENT FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, AND FAST LITERACY, AND I WORKED AT OUR TEACHERS ARE DOING IN THE CLASSROOMS, IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THREE OF THOSE, AND YOU SEE THE SAME PATTERN YOU SEE THE SAME ACTIONABLE.

THE OTHER THING TO NOTE IN IT DID PULL IS OUT OF THE DATA FORCE AND YOU MAY RECALL WE HAVE WHAT IS CALLED GRADUATION PATHWAYS ESTATE ASSESSMENT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE STUDENTS WILL MEET THAT SPECIAL FOR GRADUATION.

THERE'S A WHOLE SERIES OF THINGS, SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT IS ONE OF THOSE. ALSO STUDENTS CAN TAKE AS A SERIES OF CTE COURSES TO MEET THE PATHWAY OPTION.

THEY CAN TAKE OTHER ASSESSMENTS LIKE THE SAT OR THE ACT.

SO THERE OTHER WAYS THAT STUDENTS CAN MAKE THE ASSESSMENT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE A HIGHER OF STUDENTS HAVE NOT YET MET THE GRADUATION PATHWAY REQUIREMENTS IN BOTH THE CLASS OF 2022 AND THE CLASS OF 2,023. AND WE KNOW FOR SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS, GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET STANDARD ON THE SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT WILL BE ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THEY GET ACROSS THE LINE FOR GRADUATION. AND FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT SCORING BELOW, STANDARD ON ELA AND MATH, THAT MAY BE RETAKING THE SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT WOULD BE A GOOD OPTION FOR THEM.

SO HAVING THIS DATA WOULD BE USEFUL TO US.

WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH OTHER PATHWAY OPTIONS AS WELL.

THAT BUT THIS IS A PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT WE USED TO HELP HIS GRADUATE. FOR THE CLASS OF 2022 THERE IS A STATE WAIVER OPTION FOR PATHWAYS.

BUT FOR THE CLASS OF 2023 THERE ISN'T.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PRINCIPLES AND OUR COUNSELORS ON A CLASS OF 2023 TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS OPTIONS.

INCLUDING FOR STUDENTS WHO DID NEED NOT SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENTS. FINALLY, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS COVID, THAT WAS THE ASSESSMENTS ON THE SAME AS THAT WAS IN THE PAST. AND WE D.C. GROWTH IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS ALL THOSE BEING SAID THEY STILL AREN'T WHERE WE WANT.

SO AS A PART TWO AS WE PRESENTED IN OCTOBER, OUR RECESSION HASN'T CHANGED, WE STILL ONLY A PARTIALLY ACHIEVED OUR TWO WE HAVE SOME GROUPS INCLUDING OUR OWN GROUPS AND SUBGROUPS THAT ARE PERFORMING ON TARGET. BUT A LARGE NUMBER THAT AUNT.

AND SO WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS AREA IS IMPARTIAL.

YES I'M SORRY ONE LAST THING, AND WE SHARED SOME OF THIS IN THE STUDY SESSION TONIGHT BUT THE NEXT QUESTION IS OKAY, YOU'VE GOT THE SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT BUT ALL OF THE OTHER INDICATORS IN OUR TWO. SO AS WE SHARE THE OCTOBER AND TONIGHT IN THE STUDY SESSION SOME OF THE AREAS WE ARE WORKING

[01:30:03]

SO MAKING SURE WE ARE PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL AROUND LITERACY AND EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS, AND HAVING PEOPLE THINK THROUGH HOW YOU DO SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION IN AREAS LIKE THAT ARE IMPORTANT. WE HAVE A NEW MATH CURRICULUM AS YOU KNOW AND WE SHARED. AND NEW SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ATTEND TO SEE HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING AND WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE DURING COVID-19 THAT WE ARE HAVING TO ATTEND TO AS WELL.

SO WE BELIEVE THAT THE STRATEGIES INVOLVED MUST CONTINUE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AS WE EMERGE FROM THE CONDITIONS.

SO I THINK THAT IS OFFICIALLY THE END OF THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD THAT I MISS?

>> THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD ON TO THE GRADE TEN.

DATA, I WOULD SAY I THINK IT WAS 64% OF TENTH GRADERS HAD PASSED THE ASSESSMENT. IF YOU TAKE OUT THE STUDENTS THAT DID NOT TAKE THE ASSESSMENT 84%.

SO THERE IS A 20% DIFFERENCE THERE.

SO, WE HAD A LOT OF REFUSALS. SO I THINK THAT GREAT TENT YOU WOULD SET IT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT.

GRADE TEN DATA IS A LITTLE BIT UNUSUAL BECAUSE OF THE HIGH REFUSALS. I WOULD SAY THEY MET ANOTHER PATHWAY, SO THEY ESSENTIALLY JUST DIDN'T TAKE THE ASSESSMENT.

BECAUSE THEY MISS THE FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY YEARS.

SO THEY WEREN'T REALLY REQUIRED TO TAKE IT.

>> SO THAT HADN'T TRIGGERED IN MY HEADS TO YOU SAID THOSE WORDS I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD HER RIGHT A STUDENT WHO DOES NOT TAKEN THE EXAM OR ELECTS NOT TO TAKE THEIR EXAM.

IT IS AS IF THEY FAILED TO ACHIEVE STANDARDS IS THAT RIGHT?

>> YEAH, THERE IS A COUPLE OF WAYS TO LOOK AT IT, THE STATE DOES COUNT THEM AS NOT PROFICIENT BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE PROFICIENT. WE HAVE ADDED SO TYPICALLY, IN OUR NON- TENTH GRADE LIKE GRADE 3-8.

WE SEE BETWEEN MAYBE 1-2% REFUSAL RATE.

AT ANY GIVEN YEAR. WE HAVE ADDED ON YOUR DISPLAY FOR ASSESSMENTS IN SBA, YOU CAN ACTUALLY THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE TOP TO REMOVE UNTESTED. SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE RESULTS OF THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY TESTED SO WE WILL SEE IT BOTH WAITERS. WE DO FOR THE BOARD REPORTING ALIGN WITH THE STANDARDS, LIKE IF YOU DID NOT TAKE THE TEST, IT

IS A NON- PROFICIENT SCORE. >> I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT GRADE TEN, 20% DIFFERENCE HAPPENING THIS NEXT YEAR.

BECAUSE MOST OF OUR GRADE TEN STUDENTS ARE GOING TO TAKE IT.

BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO THE GRADUATION

PATHWAY. >> OKAY, I WANT TO TRY TO PROGNOSTICATE THE FUTURE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT PERCENTAGE SHOULD WE EXPECT TO SEE ELECT NOT TO TAKE IT IN THE FALL? SO, I THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE

BACK TO A NORMAL REFUSAL RATE. >> SO THAT WILL BEFALL TESTING MOVING FORWARD SO WE'LL BE BACK TO THE SPRING CYCLE.

AND I ANTICIPATE THAT EVERY GRADE THAT INCLUDING TEN, PROBABLY A 1-3% REFUSAL. AND A LOT OF THOSE REFUSALS AREN'T NECESSARILY REFUTING TO TEST, IT COULD BE ABSENCES, WE CALL THEM ALL REFUSALS FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER.

THEY BASICALLY JUST DID NOT TAKE THE TEST.

AND THEN WE WILL FALL TESTING BUT THOSE ARE JUST FOR MAKEUPS FOR GREAT 11 AND 12 STUDENTS. WE HAVE TO ALLOWED THE GREAT 11 TO 12 STUDENTS TWO TIMES A YEAR, TO PASS THE TEST IF THEY WANT TO. SO WE WILL BE BACK ON A REGULAR

CYCLE. >> I'M SORRY MIKE, YOU CONCLUDED THE PRESENTATION RIGHT? OKAY GREAT.

SO WILL OPEN UP YOUR QUESTIONS NOW.

ON THE PRESENTATION AND MONITORING REPORT.

DIRECTOR COLSON? >> THANK YOU.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE GOT, IF IT IS EASY FOR YOU TO PULL UP TABLE TWO FROM THE REPORT. IT IS THE THIRD GRADE RESULTS I WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT. OR MENTION SOMETHING THAT I NOTICED THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS. SO TAKING TWO WOULD BE THE THIRD

[01:35:07]

AND HERE, WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME, I TAKE ALL OF THE CAV CAVEATS. THEY ARE LEGITIMATE CAVEATS.

THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY WEIRD YEAR END ONE COULD EVEN, I MEAN, I AM NATURALLY A GLASS HALF-FULL KIND OF GUY.

AND THE FACT THAT WE ONLY LOST A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS IN 2020 BLOWS MY MIND. BUT THE ONE THING IN THE TABLE THAT I NOTICED THAT CAUSE ME CONCERN IS THE GROUP THAT HAS THE GREATEST LOSS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FOUR YEAR TRENT A NEGATIVE NUMBER. IS THE LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND THIS IS IN THIRD GRADE. ELA BEING A CRITICAL YEAR IN THIRD GRADE, AND WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT THE EXACT PATTON WHERE THE GREATEST LOSS WITH THE LOW INCOME GAP GREW. IT GREW THIS YEAR RELATIVE TO PREVIOUSLY US. FOR LOW INCOME STUDENTS.

IT IS ACTUALLY MIRRORED IN THE MASK ELA I'M SORRY THE MATH THAT IS THE GREATEST GROWTH IN THE GAP.

FOR THE THIRD GREATEST. AND SO THESE ARE THE FOUNDATIONAL YEARS. EARLY IN THE KIDS EDUCATION, THIS IS THE FOUNDATION WHICH ONE NEEDS TO BUILD AND TO SEE MINUS 4.8 THEREFORE LOW INCOME IS BY FAR THE GREATEST LOSS FOR ANY GIVEN GROUP RELATIVE TO PREVIOUS DATA.

I AM NOT SAYING THAT I CARE ABOUT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LESS, I CARE ABOUT THAT THIS GROUP HAS THE GREATEST FRIEND RELATIVE TO EVERYONE ELSE. AND HAVING GOTTEN SPECIFIC I KNOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO WRAP AROUND FOR THESE KIDS.

BUT THAT IS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION.

YOU HAVE GOT INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE BEING APPLIED TO HELP THESE KIDS SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO ASK SUCCEED WITHOUT HAVING A FAULTY

FOUNDATION. >> YES, AND PART OF THAT I THINK

I MENTIONED TOO. >> THAT'S A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY THERE, SO WE HAVE SOME EARLY WARNING INDICATORS SAME LOOK YOU HAVE TO START ATTENDING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A DOWNSTATE IMPLICATION FOR THE GROUP OF STUDENTS.

SO THE VALUE OF THE FAST BRIDGE ASSESSMENT THAT WE HAVE SHARED IS ALLOWING US TO QUICKLY IDENTIFY WHERE KIDS NEED SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION PARTICULARLY IN THOSE YOUNGER GRADES BUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH GRADE EIGHT. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT KELLY HAS BEEN WORKING ON OUTLINING VERY CLEARLY WHAT ARE THE APPROACHES AND INTERVENTIONS IN THE SUPPORT SITE USE IT IF YOU INTO VENTURES WHO WORK WITH STUDENTS.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT LITERACY AND WE HAVE NEW MATH CURRICULUM SO THERE'S BEEN TRAINING FOR THAT THIS YEAR.

AND KELLY TRAINING SUPPORTS ARE NOT SURE WHICH INCLUDE KIND OF A FOUNDATION IN SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS AND COMING TO THE SYSTEM WHO ARE NEW TO LEARN LITERACY SKILLS.

SO WE ARE RECOGNIZING THAT WE HAVE TO BUT TIME AND ENERGY INTO THAT. AND AS PART OF MTS AS IS ALSO A HIGH NEED. AGAIN A DISTRICT LEVEL DATA.

THE DISTRICT LEVEL DATA ACTUALLY ALLOWS US TO DRILL DOWN AND PROVIDE VERY SPECIFIC SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS.

>> SO HAVE WE HAD ANY INCREASE IN RESOURCES FOR SAFETY NET? BECAUSE I SEE THAT IS VERY CRITICAL TO LIZ.

I THINK THE OTHER IMPORTANT PART THOUGH IS WE KNOW THAT DIRECT EXPLICIT FRENETIC AND PHONICS -BASED INSTRUCTION IS REALLY IMPORTANT. AND GENERAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AS WELL CAN BE SCOTT SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION.

SO PART OF THE WORK WE NECESSARILY HAVE NOT HAD TO DO THAT AS MUCH OF THE EXTENT AS IS PASS.

MANY OF THE STUDENTS COMMEND VERY COMPETENT IN READING ALREADY. NOW WE ARE SEEING MORE STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLE READING. SO WE ARE WORKING WITH TEACHERS ON HOW TO THINK ABOUT INSTRUCTING DIFFERENTLY THAN THEY HAD TO IN THE PAST WHERE THERE IS MORE SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION. SO YES INTERVENTIONISTS BUT YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY DEPEND ON INTERVENTION TO COMPLETELY ADDRESSES. IT HAS TO BE GENERAL EDUCATION TEACHERS FIRST DOING SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION AND THEN INTERVENTIONISTS AS NEEDED. SO IT IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. >> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION

[01:40:02]

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ASSESSMENT THAT WAS OFFERED, THEY ARE NOW COMPARING IS WE CANNOT USE IT FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES WE ARE BASICALLY BEING TOLD.

TO PRIOR YEARS IS THE ASSESSMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE OFFERED IN THE SPRING, WILL WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? OR CAN'T WE GO FORWARD AND COMPARE IT TO PRIOR YEARS?

OR WILL WE BE ABLE TO? >> ELLA TIM ANSWER IT.

>> SO I WOULD SAY, WE CAN COMPARE, WE JUST HAVE CAUTION, SO THE FALL DATA GIVES US SOME INFORMATION, WE JUST CAN'T, IT IS NOT LIKE APPLES TO APPLES. THAT BEING SAID, THE SPRING TEST WILL BE BACK TO THE REGULAR TEST THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST.

THERE IS ONE EXCEPTION TO THAT, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY MADE THE TEST SLIGHTLY SHORTER, BASED ON SOME OF THE FALL TESTING THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY REDUCE TESTING LENGTH.

AND THEY FAIL LIKE THAT IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE RESULTS OF THE TEST. ONE THINK THAT THEY HAVE DONE, THEY HAVE CHANGED THE LENGTH OF THE TEST SLIGHTLY.

THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE US CLAIMS BECAUSE THAT THESE TO BE ABLE TO. WE USED TO BE ABLE TO GET READING, WRITING, AND SPEAKING LISTENING EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE JUST LISTENING. WE REALLY GET THOSE LIKE BASICALLY THOSE SUB SCORES, BUT WE WILL NOT GET THOSE AT LEAST FOR THE SPRING. AND THEY HAVE NOT NECESSARILY TOLD US THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO BE OFF THAT WILL MOVE FORWARD.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DRAWBACKS TO THAT IS A LOT OF SCHOOLS USED TO USE THAT FOR THAT SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING. THERE WOULD ACTUALLY SENT GOES FOR READING OR WRITING. AND SO THEY WON'T HAVE THAT ABILITY AT THE STUDENT LEVEL OR THE SCHOOL LEVEL.

TO SORT OF SEE HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING IN THOSE BROAD AREAS.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE FROM THE STATE

TEST THIS UPCOMING SPRING. >> YOU USE THE TERM I'M UNFAMILIAR WITH CLAIM SCORE? WHAT IS THAT?

>> YES, I WOULD SAY CLAIM IN SUBTEST SCORE SO IF YOU HAVE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ARTS THAT'S THE BIG.

THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THE LEVEL ON ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ART. BUT WE ALSO USED TO SEE RESULTS FOR READING, WRITING, AND SPEAKING.

>> SO I JUST ON IT I'LL REPEAT WHAT I THINK I HEARD.

THAT THE EXAM THAT IS GOING TO BE OFFERED THIS SPRING, WHAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE STATE SO FAR, IS THAT WHILE THE EXAM MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN IN PRIOR YEARS, THE GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE IS THAT THE THE CHANGES WILL NOT ALTER PERFORMANCE.

IN OTHER WORDS THERE WILL TRY TO GET US TO WHAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE DATA IN THE SPRING FOR DISTRICT PERFORMANCE IN

PRIOR YEARS. >> IS STILL THE STATE ACCOUNTABILITY ASSESSMENT, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL PUT THE RESULTS OF THE SPRING 2022 RESULTS NEXT TO THE PREVIOUS SPRING 2019 RESULTS ON THE WATCH AS THEY REPORT GUY.

IF YOU GO TO THE SITE REPORT CARD, THEY DO NOT PUT THE FALL 2021 DATA NEXT TO ANY OTHER YEARS.

WE DID AND THIS REPORT, BECAUSE I THINK IT IS HELPFUL TO SEE THE CONTEXT, THAT BUT WE HAVE GIVEN YOU THESE CAVEATS.

IN THE POWER OF THE EYE DISPLAYS WE IT IN THE OTHER HEIRS.

U.S. EOS PI HAS NOT DONE THAT WITH THE POLL RESULTS BUT WE FULLY ANTICIPATE THAT THE SPRING 2020 RESULTS WILL BE PUT IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE SAME PLACE AS THE 2019 RESULTS.

>> OKAY I WOULD ADD UP TO THAT. SOME OF THE VARIABLES WE COULD NOT CONTROL IN TERMS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE TO SHARE WILL BE KIND OF MORE TYPICAL IN NEXT YEAR.

SO KIDS WILL BE WITH THEIR TEACHER WOULD THEY HAVE HAD FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, CLOSER TO THE CONTENT AND THE LEARNING THAT THEY HAVE HAD. THEY ARE IN THEIR HOME SCHOOLS, SO THOSE ARE FACTORS THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO RESULTS OR SHOULD THAT WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR SO THE TEST MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT I THINK WILL HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL BE MORE LIKE THE 2,019 DEFINITELY THIS YEAR.

SO WE ARE SO CAUTIOUS. I THINK ALSO WE HAVE SHARED BEFORE YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH STATE-LEVEL ASSESSMENT DATA AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE ALWAYS

[01:45:04]

TOGETHER. >> SO I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING KIND OF NEXT STEPS IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE MODERN REPORT THAT THERE WOULD BE OPTION FOR CREDIT RECOVERY AS WELL AS CENTER PROGRAMMING OPTIONS. AND I AM CURIOUS, ARE THOSE OPTIONS GOING TO BE UNIQUE THIS YEAR COMPARED TO DIFFERENT ONES THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN THE PAST FOR STUDENTS WHO MIGHT NEED THEM? ARE WE DOING ANYTHING EXTRA? TO HELP IN THIS SITUATION, AND THEN HOW ARE WE ASSURING ACCESS TO THE STUDENTS WHO NEED THE MOST LIKE DIRECTOR CARLSON POINTED OUT. IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS OF STUDENTS THAT MIGHT NEED IT MORE THAN OTHERS.

AND OUT WE DOING ANYTHING TO ENSURE THAT THESE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE SPECIFICALLY SO THEY CAN ACCESS IT AND AT WHAT THEY NEED ACHIEVE THE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> STARTING WITH SUMMER SCHOOL THERE SIGNED TO PLAN OUT EVEN A FEW MONTHS OUT. SPECIAL EDUCATION AS PART OF THAT PLANNING TEACHING AND LEARNING, AND OTHER DIRECTORS CONTRIBUTE AS WELL. IT WILL BE SOME WAY SIMILAR TO LAST SUMMER. WE WERE INSEPARABLE LAST SUMMER WE RECOGNIZE THAT KIDS LEARNING EXPERIENCES SO HAVING THIS DATA OR STUDENT GRAVES OR PATH COMPLETION RATES.

THE DATA THAT WE USED TO DO IDENTIFY STUDENTS CAN BENEFIT FROM SUMMER PROGRAMS, AND THEN OUR COUNSELORS IN A SCHOOLS IN COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES AND REALLY ENCOURAGE KIDS TO PARTICIPATE. I CAN RETAKE A CLASS THAT I DIDN'T PASS, AND SOME CASES THERE IS A COMPASS HE COMPORTED TODAY. SO IF I CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPETENCY I CAN COMPLETE MOST THE CLASS IT WE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES TO GET COURSES THAT ALLOW THEM TO STAY ON TRACK AT A CERTAIN PATHWAY. THERE ARE PROBABLY COURSES VERY SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO SKILL. LANGUAGE ARTS LITERACY MATH, THOSE AREAS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER ARE FOUNDATIONAL.

THERE'LL BE SOME ENRICHMENT AS WELL TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO MAINTAIN EDUCATION OVER THE TOWN THAT THEY ARE IN SCHOOL.

SO ALL THAT IS BEING PLANNED, AND IT IS REALLY A DIRECT OUTREACH, WE HAVE A PRETTY HIGH RESPONSE RATE IN TYPICAL YEARS WE MIGHT'VE DO A LOT OF PUSHING OUT AND INVITATIONS WERE WE ARE CONTACTING FAMILIES. WE MIGHT NOT SEE A SUPERHIGH TURNUP BUT FAMILIES HAVE SEEN REALLY APPRECIATIVE AND REALLY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY.

SO WHERE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW IS STARTING TO MAP OUT WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE, IDENTIFYING WHO'S TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGS. ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE SO THEY CAN MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT SUMMER OPTIONS. AND THEN MOVING INTO LARGER PITCHER, YOU MENTIONED THINGS LIKE COMPETENCY OR CREDIT RECOVERY. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS BUILT INTO OUR NORMAL ANNUAL PROGRAM. WE ARE LOOKING AT STUDENTS FOR THAT. I ALSO MENTIONED EARLIER THE GRADUATION PASSES THEY HAVE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE IN THESE CONTENT AREAS. WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO LOOK AT THAT KIDS ARE PREPARED FOR THOSE THAT ALREADY HAVE BET THERE. FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY DID NOT BE SMARTER BALLASTED THE RETAKE SMARTER BALANCE ASSESSMENT OR DO THEY NEED PREP? OR IF THEY MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER COURSE IS THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO THEM.

SO THIS QUITE A BIT OF WORK BEING DONE AND WE SET TO MAP THAT OUT AND PUSH TO THE PARAMETERS.

>> WILL WASN'T HEARING IT. ARE WE DOING ANYTHING UNIQUE TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC OBSTACLES? FOR EXAMPLE TRANSPORTATION FOR SUMMER SCHOOL OR AND THEN THEY CAN'T ATTEND?

>> SOME OF THAT IS TRANSPORTATION PLANNING SOME OF THAT IS ALSO LOCATION WITH SOME SCHOOLS LOCATED.

IN ADDITION WE ALSO COME AS A TRANSPORTATION IS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT IT. WE KNOW SOME STUDENTS ACTUALLY DID WELL WITH THE REMOTE OPTION. AND THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

[01:50:02]

THE COMPETENCY-BASED CREDIT I MENTIONED, AS SOON AS STUDENTS DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY THERE GOOD TO GO.

SO IT REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT THE BERRIES AND OBSCURES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL GROUP AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO ADDRESS

THOSE. >> THANK YOU.

>> SORRY I LOST TRACK OF THE ORDER IN WHICH PEOPLE RAISE A HAND. SO I WOULD DO WHAT I LOOK AT YOU

ON MY SCREEN. >> PARTICIPANTS AND HE RAISED

IT. >> SO A QUESTION, JUST GOING ON WHAT CHRIS SAID, WHEN I LOOK AT THE LOW INCOME, THE STUDENTS THAT ARE LOW INCOME. YOU DO CONSISTENTLY SEE EVEN BENCH MARCHING DISTRICT. WE TEND TO BE FURTHER DOWN IN THE BENCHMARKING LINE AS WELL. SO I THINK THERE IS SOME PLANT THAT PERHAPS WE HAVE A LITTLE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THAT NEEDS TO OCCUR THERE IN SOME FASHION I CANNOT ANSWER THAT.

I COULD JUST SAY PLAYS ACROSS THE BOARD WITH MATH REALLY SHOWING IT HEAVILY. PERHAPS THAT IS ACCESS FOR OTHER STUDENTS TO RESOURCES FROM FAMILY SITES AND DIFFERENT THINGS AS OPPOSED TO, SO HOW DO WE HELP TO BOOST THAT AND BRING IT ALONG. I THINK SUMMER SCHOOL IS A PIECE OF THAT. AND I THINK THERE MIGHT BE OTHER THINGS. THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT ME IN THE DATA. THE OTHER PIECE I KEEP THINKING OF THIS MIGHT BE FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL AS THE COHORT, AND ACTUALLY AS WE LOOK AT THE SPRING DATA, ARE WE THINKING ABOUT THE COHORT AND THE CHANGE THAT OCCURRED WITHIN THAT.

BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I THINK WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE MITIGATION OF THE IMPACTS. AND I WOULD AGREE WITH CHRIS, WHEN HE SAYS THERE ARE A LOT OF EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.

MOVING OF TEACHERS WE ARE SHIFTING TO ONLINE TO HYBRID AND MOVING OF TEACHERS BECAUSE OF THE SORTS OF THINGS.

ALL OF THAT IMPACTS. BECAUSE WE KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP OF STAFF IS SO KEY AND CRITICAL TO IT.

SO THE DROPS ARE NOT AS LARGE AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT BUT IT IS DISCONCERTING THAT THERE ARE SUBGROUPS THAT WE SEE LARGER THAN OTHERS. SO I THINK THE COHORT IS WHAT I BE INTERESTED IN AS WE LOOK AT SPRING.

>> TO REGISTER WITH THEN DIRECTOR CARLSON.

>> DIRECTOR CHOI BROUGHT UP AN INTERESTING POINT THAT PLAYS INTO THE QUESTION THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE.

THE IDEA THAT LOWER INCOME STUDENTS OFTEN HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUNGER SIBLINGS. SUMMER IS ALSO A TIME THAT THOSE SAME STUDENTS ARE WORKING HOURS AND ARE CONDUCIVE TO SUMMER SCHOOL. AGAIN, WE ARE OFFERING ONLINE AUCTIONS WE ARE NOT OFFERING ONLINE OPTIONS? MY CONCERN IS TO, WE KIND OF SLID BY THE ISSUE OF SIBLINGS SUPERVISION. AND WE CRIED OUT, I THINK WE EVEN ADDRESS THE COST FACTOR FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON LOW-INCOME STUDENTS I IMAGINE IT WILL HAVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT.

I ASSUME THERE MUST BE SOME MECHANISMS ALREADY IN PLACE, EVERY TIME WE TALKED ABOUT A MECHANISM WE SAY WE DID NOT LOOK AT THE PRE-INTRODUCE SO WE ARE OUT A LOT.

>> SO A FEW THINGS, WE ACTUALLY PROVIDE SUMMER SCHOOL OPTIONS THAT WERE NO-COST LAST YEAR THAT WERE AT RISK ACADEMICALLY.

MORE OF OUR ENRICHMENT OPTIONS THAT'S WHERE WE HAD OUR FEET BASED SUMMER SCHOOL. AND SOME OF THAT IS THROUGH KELLY'S DEPARTMENT. THE ONLINE AS YOU MENTIONED IS ANOTHER WAY. AS I WAS SHARING EARLY THERE WAS A PROFILE OF A STUDENT. FOR SOME HAVING A LITTLE MORE AUTONOMY AND CONTROL OVER THE TIME AND NOT HAVING TO COME IN.

SO THEY COULD FLEXIBLY WORK ON THEIR INSTRUCTION BUT ALSO GET THEIR CONNECTION WITH THE TEACHER.

THAT ALSO STILL PROVIDES DAYCARE.

AGAIN ONLINE IS NOT PERFECT FOR EVERYBODY I JUST WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THAT. IN ADDITION AS I MENTIONED WE DO HAVE SCHOOL YEAR CREDIT RECOVERY AS WELL.

SO FOR STUDENTS IN THE SUMMER WE DO HAVE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY

[01:55:02]

THEY'RE SO THIS MULTIPLE FACTORS AND AS YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE STUDENTS STATUS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT IN THEIR OTHER BARRIERS AND OBSTACLES IN THE WAY FOR THEM.

>> I THINK YOUR POINT IS IMPORTANT, THAT WE MORE NOW THAN EVER REALLY NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THOSE BARRIERS AND

OBSTACLES AS THE DIRECTOR SAID. >> AND JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE STAYING AT HOME DOING ONLINE DOESN'T MEANS AND SUPERVISING

THREE YOUNGER SIBLINGS. >> I THINK THE IDEA OF THAT WILL BE AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SO I'M SUPERVISING UNTIL FOUR, AND THE EVENING I CAN WORK ON MY ASSIGNMENTS AND MY ASSIGNMENTS AND INSTRUCTED CALIGULA'S THE NEXT DAY.

AGAIN NOT PERFECT FOR EVERYBODY. >> YES SO I APOLOGIZE I'M HAVING IN PROCESS EUREKA ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

I NEED TO RESEND THE COMMENT THAT WE DID NOT LOSE MUCH OF GROUND AS EXPECTED. CAN WE PULL BACK UP THE SBA SLIDE AND GO TO GRADE FIVE. AND THIS IS SOMETHING I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS IN ANY WAY MALIGNED OR INTENTIONAL.

BUT I JUST REALIZE THAT I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER ASKED YOU TO TELL US HOW THE FOUR YEAR NUMBERS CALCULATED IN THE REPORT? I AM LOOKING AT THE WRITTEN REPORT, AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE GRADE FIVE SBA MATH GRAPH OF FIGURE SIX. THE NUMBER WAS 75.9 IN 2017, IT IS NOW 60.4. THAT IS A 16-POINT DROP NOT A FOUR-POINT DROP OVER FOUR YEARS. AND SO THIS APPEARS TO BE DIVIDED BY FOUR DUE TO THE ANNOUNCE OF DROP THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCE. THEREFORE THESE ARE A LOT BIGGER THAN I HAD REALIZED. I WAS INTERPRETING A FOUR-YEAR TRAN IS HOW MUCH WE LOST IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

MULTIPLY THAT NUMBER BY FOUR TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE LOST RELATIVE TO FOUR YEARS. SO THAT IS MORE CONSISTENT FROM WHAT I EXPECTED, GO WITH THAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT NUMBERS REALLY ARE MORE DEVASTATING THAN I REALIZE.

IT WENT WE ARE REPORTING FOR YOUR TRENT MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHANGE NOT THE FOUR YEAR AVERAGE PER YEAR LOSS. BUT EITHER WAY TO DEFINE IT VERY CAREFULLY FROM THAT COLUMN. BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT EVER ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THAT COMMENT ON THE MAP BEFORE.

>> SO I WOULD JUST WE ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN THE REPORT UNDER THE INDICATORS. IT WAS SAY HOW IT IS CALCULATED.

FOR EXAMPLE IT ASSAYED THE FOUR-YEAR TRAN IS CALCULATED BY DETERMINING THE BEST FIT LINE FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

SO BASICALLY WE ARE GOING TO BEST AND LINED THEM TO TRANSIT.

IT IS EACH OF THE LESSER WHAT IS THE DROP SO YES.

>> SO THE FOR YOUR TRENT ANYWAY LIKE I SAID I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY GONE INTO THE DETAILS. THANK YOU I AM GLAD THAT IS THERE. IT LITERALLY NEEDS TO BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STABLE. JUST SO THAT CONNECTING THE DOTS HAPPENS. BUT SO YES I NEED TO RESEND THIS ISN'T AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THIS IS AS BAD AS I EXPECTED. IT IS A MUCH BIGGER DROP.

IT WAS BECAUSE 2020 HAPPEN, WE HAVE DONE A VERY, ENTHUSIASTIC JOB OF TRYING NOT TO LOSE TOO MUCH.

BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY EXPECTED US TO MAINTAIN PARITY.

SO THIS IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I EXPECTED.

TO ME IT IS MORE IMPERATIVE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE DATA ON RELATIVE. IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH WE DOUBT FOR A GIVEN A GROUP FROM 2017. IS DID THEY CAP GET BIGGER AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE GAPS GOT SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER.

PARTICULARLY FOR LOW INCOME ANYWAY.

TWENTY-FIVE. >> 2 I KNOW THERE'S VARIABILITY FROM GOODYEAR'S AREA AND WHEN YOU TRY TO SHOEHORN THIS ASSESSMENT INTO AN OFF TIME ASSESSMENT, THE RESULTS.

I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL TO EVEN INCLUDE THIS YEAR IN THE TRENT THAT BEING SAID LIKE FOUR YEARS PRIOR WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAD

[02:00:03]

YOU WILL STILL GET DIFFERENCES FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

>> I FULLY APPRECIATE THAT. THE INSTRUMENT WHICH IS WHY I DON'T EVER CARE FROM THE TRAIN JEERS FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT IS THE BIGGER PICTURE. I HAVE MY FINGERS TIGHTLY CROSSED AT THAT IS NOT TOO BAD WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THIS YEAR THE NEXT ASSESSMENT CYCLE. I PREDICT WE WILL SEE THERE WILL BE LONG JOURNEY THROUGH THIS AND NOT ANSWER RELATED LOSSES WE ARE DOING OUR BEST. BUT I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF WE GOT BACK TO PARITY THAT QUICKLY. ANYWAYS SORRY I DID NOT WANT TO DO TO BE DOWN TO BUT I DO WANT TO BE TOO OPTIMISTIC IT WITH

INTERPRETING THE DATA. >> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, THE FAST RESULTS THAT WE SEE IS WHAT TABLE ONE? THOSE WERE FROM I JUST WANT TO TIMING OF THE TESTS THOSE WERE FROM WHERE WERE THOSE FROM I GUESS? SPRING OF LAST SPRING OF 2021 IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY, THAT'S RIGHT THOUGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE IN OUR LAST ONE THERE WERE IN A LAST MINUTE TO REPORT FOR THIS SO WE GOT KNOCKED AWAY SO THEY ARE IDENTICAL SO I ASSUME THAT'S

WHERE THEY'RE FROM. >> REMEMBER THAT WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE USE THAT ASSESSMENT DISTRICTWIDE, AND IT WAS IN A REMOTE SETTING IN A PERSON SETTING SO AGAIN YES, AND SO IT IS LIKE YOU ARE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE POINTS WE SEE SIMILAR PATTERNS, BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS OF THOSE AS WELL.

>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THAT RIGHT.

MY MEMORY IS THAT WE ARE TAKING THE SAME ASSESSMENT THE SPRING

OKAY. >> THE OTHER NICE THING THOUGH IS AS MENTIONED HAVING A COHORT. SO THE NICE THING ABOUT THE FAST READS AS YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY DO IT OVER THE COURSE OF THE A IN RELATION TO WHAT WOULD BE AT THE GRADE LEVEL.

SO IF THAT FLUCTUATES FROM YEAR-TO-YEAR WE DO HAVE A LIVERMORE ABILITY TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.

JUST A ONE POINT SBA SCHOOL. >> YES THAT IS RIGHT.

I HAD A, BUT I WILL SAVE IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD? OKAY, I WILL, ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ART TO MONITOR REPORT AS PRESENTED WHICH IS IN PARTIAL COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE NOTED IN THE

REPORT. >> SO MOVED.

>> THANK YOU. MOTION BY DR. STEWART SECOND BY DR. CAUTION ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> THANKS, I JUST HAD A FEW THINGS, AND IS GOING ALONG WITH WHAT YOU JUST SAID. IF THERE FOR YOUR TRENT I WONDER IF WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT INDICATED SO THAT IT IS CLEAR AS TO WHAT THAT MEANS. IF I DON'T HAVE THAT LINE GRAPH IT IS ACTUALLY VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY TO HAVE TO MULTIPLY THINGS DON'T THINK IT IS AS INFORMATIVE AS LOOKING AT THE TABLE SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO CONSIDER THAT IN LOOKING AT IT.

AND ASKING AFTER THE REPORT IF WE ARE IN AGREEMENT IF WE LOOK AT THE COHORT PRIEST WE HAVE THE BEGINNING OF YEAR END END OF YEAR AS FASTERS. I ALSO WANT TO SEE THE GRADE TWO IS A GO TO THE GRADE THREE ASSESSMENT.

WHAT HAPPENS WITHIN THAT BECAUSE THAT MIGHT SHOW THE GROWTH THAT COMES BACK. I THINK THIS WAS A TOUGH YEAR IN REGARDS TO DOING THIS, I THINK THERE IS VALUE IN KNOWING WHAT WE HAVE HERE. BUT IT DEFINITELY IS NOT THE PROGRESS THAT WE WOULD HOPE IN OUR TYPICAL YEARS.

AND SO THAT THERE IS WORK TO DO WITH THAT SO I GUESS THOSE ARE

MY COMMENTS AROUND THAT. >> SORRY YOU THE COHORT YOU ARE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COHORT DATA.

WELL COULD YOU JUST RESTATE FOR ME SO I CAN TRY TO WRAP MY HEAD

AROUND WHAT YOU SAID. >> THIS TWO PIECES OF IT I BE INTERESTED IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR DATA AND THE END OF THE DATE OF OUR STUDENTS WITH FASTERS THAT WE HAVE THE CAPACITY OF. LIKE WE DID WITH DIBBLE'S PRIUS OR SIMILAR THERE. AND THEN ALSO FOLLOWING A CLASS

[02:05:01]

>> I AM IN AGREEMENT. >> DIRECTOR CARLSON?

>> SO I III DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO BE SERIOUS AND EARNEST IN DOING THE ANALYSIS WHERE IT IS MOST THE ASSESSMENT.

WE KNEW THERE WAS DAMAGE IS WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

AND SO YES, THANK YOU THERE ARE MANY CAVEATS BUT THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING VERY HARD TO GET TO WHERE WE HAVE GOTTEN.

SO I DON'T WANT TO DISMISS THE EFFORTS OF TEACHERS THAT DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

>> DIRECTOR CHOI? >> YET I WANT TO ECHO WHAT DR.

CARLSON JUST SAID. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE CAUTIOUS IN MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE APEX THAT WE ARE SEEING IN THESE ASSESSMENTS OF FULLY BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS OF ASSESSMENT OR THE OUTLIERS THAT WE KNOW ARE IMPACTFUL. I AM NOT SAYING THAT THEY DIDN'T IMPACT THE RESULTS. IF ANYONE CAN THINK BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL, YOU KNOW GOING FROM TENTH GRADE TO 11TH GRADE AND THEN GOING BACK AND BEING ASKED TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARNED LAST YEAR. AFTER SUMMER OFF, YOU KNOW IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THAT'S WHY SOME OF THE MEMBERS MAY BE THE WAY THEY ARE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE ALSO COULD BE A SITUATION OF THE RESULTS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO ADDRESS IT? WE CANNOT DISMISS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE THESE NEGATIVE TRENDS THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE TRUE TRENDS.

WHICH WE CANNOT PARCEL OUT AND WE CAN SAY ARE SOLELY DUE TO THE CONSIDERATIONS AND THE ASSESSMENTS.

>> I GUESS TWO THINGS. FIRST I DO WANT TO SAY THESE NUMBERS ARE THE WORD I'M SEARCHING FOR HERE.

THEY MAY BE SAD TO SEE I GUESS. I GUESS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN DESCRIBE IT. TO SEE SUCH A JOB, AND NOT JUST A DROP BUT THE RAW NUMBERS OF STUDENTS MEETING STANDARDS.

IT IS ALMOST DISHEARTENING. I REMAIN OPTIMISTIC THAT WE WILL SEE THIS REVERSE IN THE NEXT YEAR.

NOW THAT WE'VE HAD STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING.

FOR THE FULL ACADEMIC YEAR. ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE BIGGEST DROP IS ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THE STUDENTS. I APPRECIATE THAT BEING FLAGGED IN THE REPORT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MEANS IT'S AN AREA OF CONCERN FOR STAFF. AND IT WILL BE AN AREA OF FOCUS.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS.

WE KNOW THIS ANECDOTE ALSO ANECDOTALLY THE IMPACT OF COVERT SHOULD HIT ON THE LOW INCOME FAMILIES IN THE STUDENTS.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO THIS IS DIRECTED AT THE SECOND THING IS A GRAVE. YOU KNOW I GUESS THE GRIPE IS IF WE CAN'T REALLY COMPARE THE EXAM THAT WAS GIVEN IN THE SPRING TO WHAT WE SEE BEFORE AND WAS GIVEN BEFORE.

NOT THE SPRING I'M SORRY THE FALL.

THANKS TIM FOR CORRECTING ME. THE FALL WHAT WAS GIVEN BEFORE WHAT IS THE POINT OF WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE EXAM? IS IN THE INTENT OF THE STATE EXAMINATIONS FOR DISTRICTS TO BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO JUDGE A PERFORMANCE AND HOLD SYSTEMS ACCOUNTABLE? AND IF WE HAVE AND IF WE ARE OFFERING EXAMS, WE BEING A COLLECTIVE STATE THAT DON'T ACHIEVE THAT WHAT WAS THE POINT OF IT? AND I FIND IT IMMENSELY FRUSTRATING TO SEAT NUMBERS BUT

[02:10:01]

>> TO QUICK RESPONSES TO THAT. ONE WE HAVE ONE YEAR OF DATA.

COMPARING IT TO OTHERS THAT YOU HAD TO BE MORE CAUTIOUS.

BUT YOU HAVE DATA WHICH SPEAKS OF THE OTHER COMMENTS.

SO CAN USE THAT SO? THERE IS STILL INFORMATION WITHIN THAT. THE OTHER THING IS IT WAS I BELIEVE A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT THAT WE LOBBY TRY NOT TO HAVE IT FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU MENTIONED.

EMILY TOLD WE FOUND ANYTHING IN THERE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT, WE WERE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DO IT LAST SPRING, BUT WE SORT OF WERE ABLE TO POSTPONE IT TO THE FALL.

WHICH ALLOWED US TO ACTUALLY ASSESS MORE OF THE STUDENTS.

BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD TO GIVE THE SPRING FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY ASSESSMENT SO IT WAS THE LAST SPRING OH IT WAS WAS APPROVED TO BE POSTPONED TILL THE FALL SO THAT'S WITH THE STATE THAT THEY

BOTH WANTED TO THE FALL. >> I WOULD JUST GOING TO ADD ONE MORE PIECE. IF YOU RECALL LAST YEAR, SUPERINTENDENT SUBMITTED TO THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION A PROPOSAL TO MODIFY OUR STATE ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM AND REALLY HIS THINKING WAS FOR A LONG-TERM CHANGE.

AND THAT WAS TO DO A RANDOMIZED SAMPLE OF STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE TO MEASURE OUR STATES ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRESS.

AND THEN TO REALLY WORK TOWARDS BETTER ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY DISTRICT SCHOOL CLASSROOM BASE.

SO SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS CAN USE THOSE RESULTS FOR ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONAL CHANGE. AS OPPOSED TO FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE YOU TYPICALLY WITH ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT A SPECIFIC STUDENT.

IT IS AN OVERARCHING LOOK AT THE STANDARDS, IT IS NOT TARGETING DOWN TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEVEL. THAT REQUEST WAS DENIED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. AND WE WERE REQUIRED TO TEST.

SO THE DECISION AS ARTICULATED WAS TO HOLD THAT THIS OCTOBER.

>> OKAY THANK YOU AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR RESPONDING TO MY GRADE. I DO WANT TO CORRECT, I DID OVERSTEP ONE I DON'T USE A PHRASE OR MAINTENANCE IT IS NOT MEETING US INFORMATION IS HELPFUL, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

IF I SAID IT. WHAT'S FRUSTRATING TO ME IS IT IS HELPFUL AS A BOARD MEMBER. IT IS VERY HELPFUL TO LOOK AT TRAN DATA. AND SO OKAY.

DIRECTOR STEWART? >> WHILE YOU TRY TO DO YOURSELF OUT OF THAT HOLE, AS MUCH AS COVID-19 HAS AN IMPACT ON THE TEACHING METHODS AND LEARNING, OF THE LAST TWO YEARS, I CAUTION US TO BE USING IT TOO MUCH OF A CRUTCH FOR PERFORMANCE.

THAT'S WHY I THINK CHRIS IS LOOK AT THE LONGER TEN IS IMPORTANT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE GOING TO BLAME IT ON COVID-19 FOR THIS YEAR. WE CAN'T DOWN THE ROAD SAY WELL THEY DIDN'T HAVE THIS AND THIS IS A RECOVERY YEAR.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK AT A LONGER TRENT SO WE ARE NOT CONSTANTLY GOING BACK TO SAYING BECAUSE IT WAS BECAUSE OF COVID-19. WE FELT WE HAD REALLY GOOD RESULTS IN A LOT OF CLASSROOMS. SO WE HAD GOOD RESULTS AND ALL THOSE KIDS TAKING REMOTE CLASSES.

BECAUSE THEY WORK THEY WERE ENTERED OF HER CLASS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ONLINE THEY CONSUME. PARDON THE PUN.

LET'S NOT GIVE AND TRY TO USE THAT CRUTCH TO LONG.

I DON'T THINK YOU WILL, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF. IT WOULD BE HUMAN NATURE TO TRY

TO DO SO OKAY. >> I MIGHT GO AGAIN IF THAT'S OKAY. DOES ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD WITH COMMENT BEFORE RIGHT ALONG LITTLE MORE? YOU KNOW I TRIED TO COMMENT ON THE FOCUSED ON THE WHAT IN THE HOW PART OF IT. BUT I DO WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO ONE PART OF THE HOW. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WHAT, WHERE WE DO ONE AREA OR THE DATA SPEAKS WELL FOR THE DISTRICTS IS

[02:15:05]

AND NUMBER TWO IF YOU COULD INCLUDE MERCER ISLAND WHICH IS A DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND YOU KNOW, SO ONE OF MY INTERPRETATIONS IS THE REASON WE HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL COMPARED TO OTHER DISTRICTS FOR THE EFFORT THAT WE PUT ADVOCATES BACK INTO SCHOOL LAST YEAR INTO THE CLASSROOM AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR AS WELL.

I KNOW THAT WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK FOR EVERYONE LAST YEAR STAFF DOWN TO TEACHERS. SO YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE OF MY INTERPRETATIONS OF THE RESULTS. I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THAT. BECAUSE I THINK IT DIDN'T MATTER. AND SIMILARLY, I KNOW THE HEART EVERYONE HAS WORKED PARTICULARLY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS RUNNING IN PERSON. AND EXPECTS I REALLY DO EXPECT THAT WE WILL SEE SIMILARLY HIGH RESULTS COMPARED TO OTHER DISTRICTS. FOR THE NEXT ROUND BECAUSE OF THAT. SO OKAY.

DR. CARLSON? >> I JUST WANT TO TRY TO BRING IT HOME ON THE SOULFUL KNOW. THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME ANY DISTRICT AS CHANGE A MASSIVE CATASTROPHE HURRICANES HAVE HIT AND LOTS OF HAPPEN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, THE KIDS CAN'T COME BACK, WE DON'T NEED TO PAT OURSELVES IN THE BACK FOR SUCCESSFUL FULLY ACHIEVE IT.

BUT WITH HARD WORK IT CAN BE DONE.

SO I BELIEVE THEIR NUMBERS MEAN THERE IS WORK TO DO.

AND I BELIEVE WE CAN ACHIEVE. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS REPORT.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS SIR U.S. A QUESTION OR MADE A STATEMENT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LONGITUDINAL DATA INSTEAD OF CHARTS. WAS THAT IN THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE BOTH OF CHARTS AND THE LONGITUDINAL DATA IS IN THE REPORT. THE BOARD ALSO HAS ACCESS TO THE POWER DATA DISPLAYS THAT PROVIDES EVEN MORE DETAIL THAN WHAT WE PROVIDED IN THE REPORT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I

UNDERSTAND THE COMMENT. >> SO THE CHALLENGE WITH THE TRAN DATA THAT IS PROVIDED IN THE GRAPH IT IS ONLY FOR THE OVERALL GROUP. IT DOESN'T BREAK IT OUT BY DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS. SO EVEN WHEN I GO TO THE POWER BE IN DO SO I CAN'T ALWAYS BREAK OUT THE TRENDLINES FOR WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IT DOES NOT GIVE CAPACITY.

SO I CANNOT BREAK IT UP A RACE AND ETHNICITY TO SEE HOW THE

CHANGES GOING OVER FIVE YEARS. >> SIMILAR THING EVEN IF THE BASELINES OF CHANGE, WE COULD SEE GAPS GETTING WIDER.

BUT WE CAN'T SEE THAT IF WE CAN'T SEE THEM ON THE SAME

GRAPH. >> RIGHT.

IT'S TOO MUCH WORK TRUST MAY HAVE CLICKED AND TRY DIFFERENT THINGS. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN CREATE IT TO POWER BE I COULD PROBABLY ADD UP PRETTY EASILY, BEING ABLE TO DO MULTIPLE CHOICE BUT RIGHT NOW MULTIPLE CHOICE AS DEMS TOGETHER AND DOESN'T GRAPH THEM SEPARATELY.

>> OKAY. >> YEAH I THINK WHAT I AM HEARING IS PROBABLY WHAT WE HAVE HERBAL GRADUATION RATES, WHERE WE HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PAGES WHERE YOU WILL ABLE TO SEE THE NON- AND THE NOT NON- AND RACE AND ETHNICITY OF THEM ON THE SAME HISTORICAL I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING THAT YOU WANT

FOR THE ASSESSMENT IS ACCURATE. >> EXACTLY THAT HELPS SHOW THE GAP VERY QUICKLY. WHEN THEY STARTED SPEAKING ABOUT THAT. AND WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE SLOPE THAT WAS A PER YEAR CHANGE. THAT IS ACTUALLY, I DID NOT THINK OF THAT EITHER I BE HONEST.

BECAUSE I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT WAS A CHANGE OF DELTA FROM FOUR YEARS PRIOR TO THEN. NOT NECESSARY THE SNOW.

MY FOR NOT READING THE INDICATOR.

BUT I THINK THAT IS A TYPICAL THING SO I THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT TRENT TRENT IS A GRAPH ON A NUMBER.

>> SO I THINK TO GET SPECIFIC, IF WE PUT IN POWER BE I WOULD YOU ALSO WANT IT IN THE REPORT? I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, ONCE WE START ADDING ALL THE ITERATIONS OF THE REPORT YOU WILL END UP ADDING 50 FIGURES. WHICH WE CAN DO, IT JUST DEPENDS

ON WHAT YOU WANT. >> I AM OKAY WITH IT IN POWER BE I WHEN I CONCEALED INFORMATION THAT WAY.

THE CHALLENGES I'M NOT SURE THE COMMUNITY IS ACCESSED THROUGH A

[02:20:02]

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

MY OTHER COMMENT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE TRUTHS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

ONE OF THOSE TRUTHS IS OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT PERFORMING COMMENSURATE WITH THE PRIOR PERFORMANCE.

AND THAT CANNOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR US.

AS A SYSTEM. REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THE OTHER TRUTHS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, THE TESTING, ODDITIES THE COVID-19.

WE STILL HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT PERFORMING AT A LEVEL THAT IS ACCEPTABLE NOR IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR MISSION AND VISION FOR STUDENTS. AND SO TO ME THAT IS THE GREATEST TRUTH AND I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT THAT IS REAL FOR US EACH AND EVERY DAY.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE FAST BRIDGE RESULTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR.

WE SAW LITTLE PROGRESS. SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THAT? WELL WE DOUBLE DOWN WITH OUR ELEMENTARY EDUCATORS.

WE ARE FOCUSING ON LITERACY, WE ARE CALLING ATTENTION TO THAT.

BECAUSE WE HAVE RESULTS IN REAL TIME THAT TELL US THAT THE STUDENTS DID NOT MAKE TYPICAL GROWTH.

THERE IS ALL SORTS OF REASONS WHY.

SOME OF THAT IS STUDENTS NOT HAVING BEEN IN CLASSROOM SETTINGS FOR A YEAR END A HALF, BEHAVIORS ARE INCREASED.

THERE IS ALL SORTS OF THINGS GOING ON BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEIR ACADEMIC RESULTS ARE PLAYING OUT THE WAY THAT WE WANT THEM TO BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS RIGHT FOR KIDS.

SO WE RESPOND TO DATA WHEN WE SEE IT, BUT THERE IS ALSO CONTACTS THAT I THINK WE ARE REQUIRED TO BRING TO THE BOARD.

SO YOU HAVE A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE SEEING. SO JUST A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO COMMENT ON. BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE

DISCUSSION TONIGHT. >> JUST ONE LAST THING AS WE COMPARES OURS TO OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE IN THE COUNTRY.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE US TO A COMPARISON NOT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THAT DISTRICT, AS MUCH AS THE ECONOMICS AND THE COMPOSITION OF THAT DISTRICT.

I THINK THAT IS MORE OF A EVEN SCALE IF YOU WILL.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU KNOW, IF MERCER ISLAND HAS THE SAME COMPOSITION OF RACE ETHNICITY AND INCOME AS WE DO.

IF THEY ARE NOT THAT CLOSE THEN TO ME IS NOT A BIG DEAL.

IT IS NICE TO KNOW YOU'RE DOING BETTER THAN YOUR NEIGHBORS.

BUT I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING BY COMPARISON AT OUR STUDENTS AND PEERS IF YOU WILL ACROSS THE STATE.

WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR GROUPINGS.

>> OKAY ANY OF THE BOARD, TONIGHT? OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL WHEN I ENTERTAIN THE MOTION EARLY I MISSPOKE. I USE THE TERM PARTIAL COMPLIANCE INSTEAD OF REASONABLE PROGRESS WITH THE EXCEPTIONS NOTED, AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD EVEN THOUGH I MISSPOKE I UNDERSTOOD THE MOTION TO BE THAT IT WAS REASONABLE PROGRESS WITH EXCEPTIONS NOTED. DID I CORRECTLY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION EVEN THOUGH I MISSPOKE? OKAY I SEE HAD NOT SO THOUGH THAT IS A MOTION THAT IS PENDING.

>> RICK MY MOTION TO ACCEPT YOUR MOTION.

>> SO THE MOTION IS PENDING TO APPROVE THE MONITOR REPORT WHICH IS WITH REASON REASONABLE COMPLIANCE.

REASONABLE PROGRESS WITH THE EXCEPTIONS AS NOTED IN THE REPORT. ALL OF THOSE IN FLAVOR PLEASE

SIGNAL FIVE BY VOTING AYE. >> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSED? HEARING IT PASSES THANK YOU.

[G. Superintendent Report]

YES. DR. HOLMAN DO YOU HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT REPORT FOR THE NIGHT.

>> I DO, NOT A SURPRISE IT REALLY IS IN ALIGNMENT THAT WE, SO WE ARE TONIGHT. AT LEAST THE CONTENT.

WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO ALIGN OUR PROGRESSION THROUGH THE PANDEMIC. WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS. AND WE HAVE STAY TRUE TO THAT.

[02:25:05]

SO AS LATE AS LAST FRIDAY, CONTINUE TO MESSAGE OUR STAFF AND FAMILIES, JUST IN PREPARATION FOR MARCH 11, KNOWING THAT THAT IS THE FINAL DAY OF THE GOVERNOR'S MASS REQUIREMENT. WE ALSO KNOW KING COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH WILL NOT ISSUE A LOCAL MASK REQUIREMENT, SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNICATION WITH STAFF AND STUDENTS AND FAMILY IT REALLY DOES.TO SOME KEY VALUES OF RESPECT, CHOICE, AND REASONS. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE STUDENTS AND STAFF THAT CHOOSE TO MASK OUT WE KNOW THAT YOUR STUDENTS AND STAFF CHOOSE NOT TO MASK WHEN THEY RETURNED TO SCHOOL ON MARCH 14. SO A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS CONCERN.

SEEK SUPPORT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH EITHER OF THOSE CHOICES.

THAT UP PRESENCE. AND SO SEE SUPERINTENDENT MATT DILLON CAN WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAIL OVER OUT WHAT WE ARE DOING BEFORE HANDED OVER TO MATT.

MASKING WAS ONE OF THE MITIGATING MEASURES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT. I SPOKE WITH THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM. THAT SERVED TO PROTECT AND KEEP US SAFE AND TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. ONE OF THOSE ARE MIDCYCLE AND I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT ONE FIRST.

AND THAT IS A LAYER OF VACCINE. WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST VACCINATED COMMUNITY AND I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC DATA BUT I KNOW IN WASHINGTON STATE WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST VACCINATED COMMUNITIES WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST VACCINATED COMMUTERS IN THE COUNTRY. WITH ADULTS AND STUDENTS 12 AND OVER. THE MAJORITY OF THEM MUCH MORE THAN MAJORITY CLOSE TO 9095% PAINFULLY VACCINATED.

OUR 5-11 EUROS BEING VACCINATED AROUND 65-72%.

AND SO THAT LAYER OF MITIGATION IS QUITE ROBUST IN THE COMMUNITY. WE CANNOT TAKE THAT FOR GRANTEDE WERE LAWS REDUCE HOSPITALIZATION ALLOWS FOR REDUCED CRITICAL OUTCOMES KAREN AND THAT REALLY IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS ABORTING THOSE SEVERE OUTCOMES. THE OUTER RING AND THE OTHER LAYER THAT WE ARE CONTINUING IN ACTION ENHANCING IS OUR TESTING STRATEGY. ENSURING THAT WE WE HAVE A SYSTEMATIC TESTING STRATEGY BOTH PCR AND RAPID ANTIGEN TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

AND THEN VENTILATION PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR VENTILATION PROGRAM. FOR THE WE KNOW THAT THE AIRBORNE ILLNESS IN THE VENTILATION PIECE WAS KEY IN OUR BUILDINGS. BUT THERE IS TO OTHER MEASURES THAT REALLY ARE FOR LONG TERM, WHAT WE THINK ABOUT COMMUNICABLE DISEASES WITHIN THE SCHOOL. THE IDEA OF STAYING AT HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK. IT SOUNDS SIMPLE.

BUT THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND VISITORS.

IF YOU ARE SICK STAY HOME. THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO NOT BRING THAT ONTO THE CAMPUS. THAT IS COVID-19 BUT THAT IS OTHER ILLNESSES AS WELL. IN THE OTHER PIECES HAND WASHING AND HAND HYGIENE. THAT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO COPE COVID-19 AS WE DISCOVER THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.

IT IS A PRACTICE THAT DOES KEEP OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF HEALTHY.

IT REDUCES THE SPREAD OF VIRUS AND ILLNESS ON CAMPUSES.

AND IT JUST WORKS TO KEEP ALL OF US HEALTHY.

SO THOSE ARE MITIGATING MEASURES THAT ACTUALLY DO SERVE GREAT PURPOSE. AND AS WE THINK ABOUT THE

[02:30:04]

I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THE UPDATED GUIDANCE FROM THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT WILL PROVIDE MUCH MORE CLARITY. FOR THE OTHER MITIGATING MEASURES THAT ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED ARE IN PLACE.

BUT WE KNOW ONCE WE GET THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THAT. SO THAT IS MY SET.

MATT I KNOW YOU MAY HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD. SO ALL HANDED OVER TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU DR. HOLMAN. >> I WILL TRY NOT TO REPEAT OF WHAT DR. HOLMAN JUST SHARED. AS WE KNOW THE STATEWIDE MASK MANDATE IS ENDING AS OF THIS FRIDAY.

AT 11:59 P.M. SO STARTING MARCH 12.

WE WILL BEGIN PUTTING UP NEW SIGNS IN OUR SCHOOL.

SO FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE SAID MASS REQUIRED.

AND OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND VISITORS WILL SEE SIGNS THAT REALLY EMPHASIZE RESPECTING THE CHOICES OF OTHERS.

AND WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF THIS WEEK TALKING ABOUT THESE THREE THINGS OF CHOICE REASONS AND RESPECT. IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING TRANSITION. AND JUST KIND OF A QUICK RECAP.

MOST OF THE TIME WE FIND OUT ABOUT CHANGES AS THEY ARE HAPPENING. THIS IS ONE TIME WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE THAT IS BEEN FORECAST IN ADVANCE.

SO ON FEBRUARY 17 THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED THAT THE MASK RULES WOULD START MARCH 21. WE'VE COMMUNICATED WITH OUR FAMILIES IMMEDIATELY AND BEGAN PROCESSING WITH THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAMS. AROUND THESE CHANGES AND TRIED TO PROVIDE UPDATES AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK IN TERMS OF WHAT WE BELIEVE WE COULD ANTICIPATE.

LAST MONDAY WE FOUND OUT THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS MOVING UP THE DATE TO FOR THE INDOOR MASK CHANGES.

AGAIN WE COMMUNICATED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WE HAD OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY WORKERS TRYING TO PROCESS COMMUNICATIONS.

AND WHAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE IS SOME GUIDANCE.

SO NOW FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION AT THE OTHER WEEK.

AS DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED THE ACTUAL FORMAL CHANGES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED YET NOR HAS UPDATES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY.

SO THERE ARE DETAILS, OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE CERTAINLY FOUND THAT THERE ARE DETAILS AND CAVEATS THAT MAY STILL YET TO FIND. AS WE GET A CHANCE AND OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE FINE PRINT.

AND I HAVE BEEN REFRESHING EVERY HALF HOUR ON THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WEBSITE AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE YOU THEN. WE DO HAVE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY WORKGROUP CHEWED UP. TO PROCESS SOME OF THOSE CHANGES. THIS WEEK WE ARE REALLY GOING TO FOCUS IS ON MASKING. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE SO WE WILL PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY CAVEATS AROUND THAT AND WE WILL SET THE SEND OUT ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION TO OUR FAMILIES THIS WEEK.

ADDITIONALLY FAMILIES CAN EXPECT TO BE GETTING COMMUNICATION FROM THEIR SCHOOLS DIRECTLY. DR. HOLMAN MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A LOT OF LAYERS OF PROTECTION THAT I CONTINUE TO STAY IN PLACE, ACTUALLY FOR OUR REGION. WE HAVE A 90% VACCINATION RATE AMONGST ALL RESIDENTS. AGES FIVE AND ALL THAT WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. WHICH I BELIEVE IS AROUND 72% FOR THAT SAME POPULATION. WE HAVE BEEN PARTNERING WITH HEALTH COMMENTS THAT'S THE AGENCY THAT'S BEEN CONTRACTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO GET STAFFING TO SUPPORT.

WE HAVE TESTING CENTERS AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS.

AND THEN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES ON THE RAPID TESTING HAVE BEGUN TO WORK THEMSELVES OUT. AND SO WE ARE IN A POSITION WE ARE HOPING TO AND LOOKING FOR THAT MARCH 21 DATE TO BE ABLE TO

[02:35:02]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL BE DOING WE SENT IT OUT TONIGHT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S. WE ARE ASKING THAT OUR SCHOOLS TAKE TIME TO TALK WITH THE STUDENTS.

ABOUT THE CHAINS, AT ONE OF THE THINGS AND WE OFTEN COME TO THE ONE OF THE KEY THINGS IS YOU WANT TO RECOGNIZE THERE IS STRONG EMOTIONS AROUND WEARING A MASK.

WE HAVE BEEN WEARING A MASK FOR TWO YEARS, SO THIS IS A CHANGE.

YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO FEEL ALL SORTS OF WAYS ABOUT.

SO WE WANT THE STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO PROCESS THAT AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY COULD BE FAILING A VARIETY OF WAYS.

AND IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PAUSE AND ASSESS HOW THEY ARE FEELING AND IDENTIFY IT AND TAKE A MOMENT AND USE SOME OF THEIR SCALES AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS THAT WE WORK THROUGH. SO WE HAVE DEVELOPED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SLIDE DECKS FOR DIFFERENT AGES.

AND THEN ACCOMPANYING NOTES THAT OUR TEACHERS CAN USE THIS WEEK AS WE ARE TRYING TO FACILITATE THESE CONVERSATIONS.

WE KNOW THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING AND THEY HAVE IN THE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEERS SO WE WANT TO HELP PROVIDE THE STRUCTURE FOR THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND COMING BACK TO THOSE THREE THEMES, YOU KNOW IT IS IS NOT A BINARY CHOICE, SOME STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE GOING TO WEAR A MASK AND SOME STUDENTS WILL NOT WERE MASS.

AND THERE IS GOING BE SOME FOLKS WHO WERE REST SOMETIMES IN SOME PLACES. SO WE WANT TO CREATE SPACE AND RECOGNIZING THAT THEY HAVE THE CHOICE TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS, THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS, THE GOVERNOR HAS NOT CHANGED OR ADDRESS THE PROCLAMATION REGARDING VACCINATION STATUS AND THAT APPLIES TO EMPLOYEES IN APPLIES TO CONTRACTORS AND VOLUNTEERS. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE GOT AN EXEMPTION PROCESS AROUND THE MASKING IS A PART OF THAT.

WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT AND TRY TO UNDER FACT THAT.

BUT THERE IS DETAILS WITH ALL OF THESE THAT WE DO NOT BELIEVE WILL BE ADDRESSED THE GOVERNOR HAS SAID THE STATE WILL BE LOOKING AT A PROCLAMATION BUT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING BEING ADDRESSED IN THIS CURRENT CHANGE.

ADDITIONALLY WE ALSO EXPECT THAT THERE MAY BE TIMES OR PEOPLE ARE RETURNING FROM ISOLATION OR QUARANTINE THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK. THEY'LL BE DOING SOME SITUATIONS WHERE THERE WILL NOT BE A CHOICE BUT WE ANTICIPATE THEY'LL BE A CHOICE FOR THE MET VAST MAJORITY OF STAFF AND STUDENTS AND SITUATIONS. STUDENTS WILL HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A SIGN THAT WILL BE GOING UP IN THE SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE PRINCIPLES ABOUT WAYS TO TRYING TO NORMALIZE MASK WEARING AND NOT MASS WEARING.

AND TO CREATE A SPACE THAT IT IS.

IT IS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE KIDS ABOUT THE VARIETY OF REASONS THAT STUDENTS MAY WANT TO CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK OR NOT WEAR A MASK.

YOU KNOW AND IS NOT REALLY FOR ANYONE FOR US TO NECESSARILY PASS ANY SORT OF JUDGMENT AS TO THOSE REASONS.

BUT WE WANT TO TALK TO A VARIETY THOSE REASONS AND TRYING TO NORMALIZE WILL HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF RESPONSES.

AROUND THIS. THERE IS A YOUNGER VERSION OF STUDENTS WITH THEIR MASK. AND WE WILL FINALLY TALK WITH OUR STUDENTS ABOUT RESPECT. SO OPEN AND BE ACCEPTING OF OTHER CHOICES. AND TO REFRAIN IN A VOID JUDGMENT. AND WE WILL ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO TALK WITH TRUSTED ADULTS THAT IS A TERM THAT WE USE THAT WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WITH THEIR ADULTS.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT WE WILL GET THAT UPDATED GUIDANCE.

HOPEFULLY REALLY SOON, AND WE WILL SEE THAT THEY HAVE FORESHADOWED THAT A LOT OF THE REQUIREMENTS MOVED TO RECOMMENDATIONS AND IT IS A FAIRLY LENGTHY DOCUMENT SO WE WOULD TAKE SOME TIME GOING THROUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHERS OR IF THERE'S ANY OTHER IMPACTS OF THOSE IN CHANGES.

WE KNOW WE WILL CONTINUE REPORT COVID-19 CASES WORKING WITH KING COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH FOR THAT. WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON

[02:40:01]

AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW THAT PEOPLE NEED TO STAY HOME WHEN THEY ARE SICK AND THERE IS OTHER THINGS GOING AROUND.

AND SO IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE AND NOT BRING THINGS TO SCHOOL IF THEIR SHOWING SYMPTOMS. SO KIND OF WRAPPING UP IN KEY TAKEAWAYS IS WE ARE MOVING INTO A STAGE WHERE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND DECISIONS REGARDING MASKING SHOULD BE RESPECTED.

CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT TO WEAR A MASK.

NOT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS AROUND THAT AND I WILL ADD WE ARE CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN SUPPLY OF CAYENNE 95 MASS.

SO THAT IF STAFF OR STUDENTS ARE WANTING TO WEAR A MASK AND NEEDING ASSISTANCE AND TRYING AND GETTING A HIGH-QUALITY MASK WE ARE KEEPING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

>> YES, THE CDC ALSO UPDATED THEIR REQUIREMENT FOR MASKING ON SCHOOL BUSES. THEY MAINTAINED THE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BUT SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT NO LONGER APPLIES TO SCHOOL BUSES. SO AND SO MASK WILL ALSO BE OPTIONAL ON SCHOOL BUSES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM SEEING THAT CORRECTLY IS THAT RIGHT MATT? THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AS WELL.

>> I LOVE TO SEE IT IN THE GUIDANCE TOMORROW JUST TO CONFIRM. BUT THAT IS WHAT THE CDC STATED

CORRECT? >> YES OKAY THANK YOU.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? >> I HAVE A QUESTION I DO HAVE A COMMENT. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INITIATIVE THAT THE DISTRICT IS TAKING TO TRY AND HELP WITH THIS TRANSITION.

ADDRESSING PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS AND ANXIETIES AND GIVEN THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS IT BEFORE THE CHANGE HAPPENS.

I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IN SUCH A SEARCH TURNAROUND TIME FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO WIN MASK WILL BE

LIFTED SO THANK YOU. >> CHRIS?

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING TRANSPARENT AND CONSISTENT AND FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES AS WE HAVE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

>> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER QUESTIONS?

COMMENT DIRECTOR STEWART? >> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP THE VENTILATION SYSTEM BECAUSE AS I RECALL WHEN THE VENTILATION GUIDELINES CAME OUT, WE DECIDED THAT THAT WAS A BASE, THAT IS WHERE YOU STARTED IT. AND WE EXCEEDED THOSE REQUIREMENTS AS I RECALL BY AT LEAST A FULL POINT OR TWO.

IN A SMALL SCALE. SO THE FACT THAT FOLKS AREN'T AWARE THAT THEY ARE DONE SO, SO BE IT.

BUT I THINK IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT THAT WE WENT BEYOND THE MEMORY REQUIREMENT. AND I THINK THAT IN LARGE PART HELPED OUR SUCCESS AS WELL. AND I'M GLAD YOU POINTED OUT THE VENTILATION JOHN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> OKAY THANK YOU BOTH. HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME TO WRAP UP TONIGHT THE GUIDANCE WILL BE POSTED.

I JUST LOOKED AS WELL IT IS NOT YET.

STILL A FEW HOURS LEFT IN THE DAY.

OKAY THE NEXT ITEM, BEFORE I GO ON ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER, THE

[H. Public and Community Affairs]

REPORT? >> JUST QUICKLY LAST WEEK OF LEGISLATIVE SESSION FOR THE SHORT SESSIONS SO THERE ARE ON WEBSITE AND I WILL FORWARD THE INSIGHTS TO YOU IF YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE IN SESSION IT GIVES A HIGHLIGHT OF THE BILLS THAT ARE PASS BOTH CHAMBERS FROM OUR PRIORITY.

SO THE PROTOTYPICAL SCHOOL FORMULA FOR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PHYSICAL SOCIAL HEALTH. THAT HAS PASSED BOTH CHAMBERS IN THIS POINT TIME IN ORDER TO INCREASE IT AS WELL AS ENROLLMENT STABILIZATION SO THERE IS STILL SOME BUDGET ISSUES THAT COME OUT. SOME OF THE BILLS THAT AREN'T GOD UNNECESSARY TO PERMIT BUDGET SO THEY CAN REVIVE AS WELL.

[02:45:01]

SO THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME AS ITS WRAPS UP THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO'S BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH TEXTING YOUR REPRESENTATIVE OR CALLING THEM. I KNOW THAT MANY STAFF MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TESTIFYING SO A LOT OF THE ADVOCACY WORK IS USED TO INFORM DECISIONS AND KIND OF BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AT THIS TIME AND HONESTLY AS BASED ON THE WORK TO THE BUDGET PIECES AND SOME OF THESE COMPONENTS. SO MORE TO COME AT THE NEXT MEETING. I DON'T KNOW DR. HALLMAN IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING?

BUT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO. >> MAY BE THE THEME OF THE NIGHT IS INTERPRET WHAT YOU HEAR IT WITH CAUTION.

SO WE ARE PAYING VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO HOW THEIR IMPLEMENTING THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL MENTAL AND HEALTH PIECE OF THE PROTOTYPICAL SCHOOL MODEL BECAUSE DEPENDING ON HOW THEY FIND IT AND THE ACCOUNTING FOR IT.

IT THEN DETERMINES HOW MANY STAFF ARE ACTUALLY, I MEAN, IT IS REALLY KIND OF IN THE FORMULA PROCESS RIGHT NOW.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IF THEY HAVE AN FTE REQUIREMENT, AND SO A ONE-FOR-ONE FOR EVERY FTE THE STATE ADDS, WE HAVE LOCAL COSTS THAT ALSO HAVE TO BE PAID FOR THAT FTE.

AND SO THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO BALANCE AND THINK ABOUT. ANY TIME THE IS THINKING ABOUT THESE ADS, IS IF YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS DUE TO CONTRACTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT, I AM ALSO OPTIMISTICALLY HOPEFUL THAT THEY DON'T TAP INTO LOCAL LEVY DOLLARS. FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR OUTCOMES AND TALKING POINTS.

SO THERE ARE GOOD THINGS COMING BUT IT ALSO COULD COME AT A COST TO OUR LOCAL LEVY DOLLARS AS THEY PASS THESE PIECES.

BUT TO THE DIRECTORS POINT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE STILL IN THE WORKS. AT THE END OF THE DAY EXCITED THAT THE PROSPECT OF BEING ABLE TO ADD ADDITIONAL POSITIONS AND THOSE SEL HEALTH RELATED TYPE WORKSPACES.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVE YOU KNOW MOST WEEKENDS LATELY GRACE YOU WANT AS TAPAS ON THE SHOULDER TO EITHER TESTIFY TO E-MAIL, TO ADVOCATE FOR YOU KNOW OUTCOMES THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO ALL OF US ACROSS THE STATE.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU BOTH.

>> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FOR ABOUT PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TONIGHT? OKAY THEN NEXT ITEM ON THE

[I. Closing Items]
