209
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,600
Mr Wong

210
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,720
agenda is very organized and we use that

211
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,540
of our meeting is pretty good program

212
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,480
the only things I think wavy week I make

213
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:58,320
that better is I had another second

214
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,720
public comments time before the end of

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,339
the meeting I already sent an email to

216
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,079
to our board members and that's I would

217
00:12:05,339 --> 00:12:10,680
like some issue for that

218
00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:13,500
so that we support can get the public

219
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:16,320
comments in a timely manner thank you so

220
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:20,760
are you making a motion to add a agenda

221
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:23,820
item of a second public comment section

222
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,040
yes okay Mr Wong has made a motion to

223
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:28,920
add a second public comment section onto

224
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,779
our agenda at the end of the meeting I

225
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,620
presume that would be

226
00:12:30,779 --> 00:12:33,480
um

227
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:36,180
where would you like that exactly Mr

228
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,180
Wong where are you moving to put that

229
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:42,240
after a board and superintendent report

230
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:46,860
before the future meetings okay probably

231
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:50,040
after we finish any talks reports and

232
00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:52,139
then um if there are any peoples I want

233
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,540
the comments on something uh I think

234
00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:57,899
that maybe a good opportunities for them

235
00:12:54,540 --> 00:13:00,360
to get some comments okay Mr Wong has

236
00:12:57,899 --> 00:13:03,720
made a motion to insert a second public

237
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:07,399
comment section between item seven and

238
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:10,980
item eight on our agenda this evening

239
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:13,800
or section 7 and Section 8 excuse me is

240
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:17,160
there a second for his motion

241
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,320
uh Dr Yin has seconded that motion any

242
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,600
questions or comments regarding that

243
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,700
motion

244
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,440
you made the motion so not to get

245
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:27,600
anybody else is there anyone else who

246
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,060
wants to comment on it

247
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,959
Dr Yin

248
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:37,980
I think it makes sense and if the

249
00:13:33,959 --> 00:13:40,440
audience has any comments after they

250
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:43,740
attend the meeting and they want to see

251
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,620
anything they can and it's rarely we

252
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:48,540
don't allowed the public to see anything

253
00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:50,579
during the meeting I think it's a good

254
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:54,060
time for them to

255
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:56,820
make a comments after the meeting

256
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:58,800
so maybe people don't need it but you

257
00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:01,920
know we can always skip it if nobody

258
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,940
signed up I don't see why

259
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,560
we should remove that one

260
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:10,639
thank you Dr and any other members uh

261
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:10,639
Mrs Austin I have

262
00:14:13,079 --> 00:14:16,740
in

263
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,540
the entire history of the board that I'm

264
00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:19,980
aware of we've always had people sign up

265
00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:22,920
to speak

266
00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:24,420
how would people know if they wanted to

267
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,139
speak at the end of the meeting and be

268
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:31,320
able to sign up do you have a suggestion

269
00:14:28,139 --> 00:14:33,000
for how that would operate would they or

270
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,160
would it just be people raise their hand

271
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,860
and whoever wants to speak and speed

272
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,839
yeah I think about that question thank

273
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:42,839
you for your ask I think we don't need

274
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:45,300
the sign up just to be a lot more open

275
00:14:42,839 --> 00:14:47,760
people but we can set up time limited

276
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:50,699
say three minutes or something yeah

277
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:54,019
that's my uh my opening thank you and

278
00:14:50,699 --> 00:14:54,019
would you limit the number of times

279
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:05,699
I think that's enough time for people to

280
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:08,339
share their comments suggestions

281
00:15:05,699 --> 00:15:11,220
whatever you know

282
00:15:08,339 --> 00:15:15,360
okay any other questions for Mr Wong

283
00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:19,920
any discussion yeah okay okay secondly

284
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:22,079
sorry yeah I think I saw me this motion

285
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,120
I think there are at least two benefits

286
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:26,279
and the first uh housing I think that's

287
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,639
very good we have public comments time

288
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:33,839
before we do anything that's excellent I

289
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:35,760
appreciate that and uh for the for the

290
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:38,639
public comment time before the end of

291
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,300
meeting I think at least we can get some

292
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:43,800
timely feedback uh from our community

293
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:45,540
and I think

294
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,100
the people if they have something more

295
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:49,260
share with us they don't need to wait

296
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:52,199
for next month's meeting and a good

297
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:54,779
example is uh last meeting we talked

298
00:15:52,199 --> 00:15:57,959
about the class size issues and we did

299
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:59,579
get some comments from principals

300
00:15:57,959 --> 00:16:03,019
teachers

301
00:15:59,579 --> 00:16:06,779
and I think those very valuable for us

302
00:16:03,019 --> 00:16:08,639
and I think it's good for our I mean we

303
00:16:06,779 --> 00:16:11,459
ask about this kind of continual

304
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:14,459
learning continuous Improvement so I

305
00:16:11,459 --> 00:16:18,240
think this perfect opportunities uh for

306
00:16:14,459 --> 00:16:19,980
us to get them from communities another

307
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,980
thing another benefit I think the

308
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:25,800
education is pretty much Collective

309
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:27,300
collaborations effort of school parents

310
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,540
and the whole communities

311
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:32,100
so by adding the second comments and

312
00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:34,040
then we don't need we don't require

313
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:38,820
people to sign up

314
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:43,019
basically we signals we demonstrate we

315
00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:45,720
are very willing to listen uh people's

316
00:16:43,019 --> 00:16:47,759
feedback so we can create a kind of

317
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:52,560
welcome and

318
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:54,779
open environment for our school meeting

319
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,720
environment so I think that's pretty

320
00:16:54,779 --> 00:16:59,880
much two biggest benefit for this

321
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,740
approach thank you

322
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,420

00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:27,179

379
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:31,220
Monfort in the August 14th sport meeting

383
00:19:39,419 --> 00:19:42,900
thank you

384
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:44,760
okay so you were making a motion to add

385
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:48,419
Mrs mumford's commentary from the last

386
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:51,299
meeting to the agenda notes from or the

387
00:19:48,419 --> 00:19:53,520
minutes notes from this the August 14th

388
00:19:51,299 --> 00:19:56,160
meeting not a commentary I think I need

389
00:19:53,520 --> 00:20:00,660
to clarify uh the general substance of

390
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:04,320
amendment of policy 0166 proposed by

391
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:07,740
member Mumford the last meeting okay but

392
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,500
her motion did not carry to add that so

393
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:12,720
it'll be commentary is that correct I'm

394
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,039
just trying to understand exactly what

395
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,200
it is you're trying to add I know that

396
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:18,720
you emailed the the content but it was

397
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,760
you emailed to me at what I believe were

398
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,160
Mrs mumford's notes from that meeting

399
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,840
not what what she read aloud in that

400
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,460
meeting is that true that was Mrs

401
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,260
Mumford well I can ask so I didn't make

402
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:30,419
a motion I made a recommendation for the

403
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:33,480
policy committee

404
00:20:30,419 --> 00:20:35,220
um revisions to the policy and I've

405
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,380
shared that it was a commentary it was

406
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:39,480
just I mean it was my comments but it

407
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:41,880
was recommendations of policy changes

408
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,940
okay so you as I recall reading those

409
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,160
notes you had read those

410
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:50,400
those comments aloud

411
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,280
correct so what you are asking is that

412
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,200
the comments that she read aloud which

413
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,820
were that is her commentary there's

414
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,919
nothing official about that that's just

415
00:20:56,820 --> 00:21:01,260
her commentary so what you're requesting

416
00:20:58,919 --> 00:21:03,660
now is that her commentary from the last

417
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:06,120
meeting regarding that policy item be

418
00:21:03,660 --> 00:21:07,860
added to the minutes from that meeting

419
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:10,140
is that the motion that you're making

420
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:12,360
yes the general substance not the word

421
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:15,419
by word I receive a general substance

422
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:17,340
but without the proposal okay all right

423
00:21:15,419 --> 00:21:20,160
so that's the motion on the table Mr

424
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:23,100
Wong is requesting that uh the general

425
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:26,520
substance of Mrs mumford's commentary

426
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:29,280
that she spoke aloud at our August 14th

427
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,760
meeting be included in this uh the

428
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,080
minutes of record for this meeting

429
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
can I get a second for that

430
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:40,380
Dr Yin seconds that motion are there

431
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,430
questions comments or discussion about

432
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:46,539
this agenda item

433
00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:46,539
[Music]

434
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:51,179
I think in January it should be a

435
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:53,340
general rule if there's a substantive

436
00:21:51,179 --> 00:21:55,880
comment Source made it should be

437
00:21:53,340 --> 00:21:55,880
included

438
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,059
any other comments or questions Mrs

439
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:04,500
Austin we don't document commentary as a

440
00:22:03,059 --> 00:22:08,240
general rule that's never been our

441
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:14,100
practice and we have not documented

442
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,960
failed motions or actions not taken the

443
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:17,700
minutes purpose is to document actions

444
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,679
taken by the board so

445
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:23,940
thank you Mrs Austin any other questions

446
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:24,960
or comments Mrs Lumber I'm currently the

447
00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:26,820
minutes

448
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,039
share the administration's

449
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:31,200
recommendation but includes nothing of a

450
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:35,039
school board discussion they simply have

451
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:37,200
included discussion ensued and the

452
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:39,480
Indiana law says that minutes must

453
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:43,200
include the general substance of all

454
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,340
matters proposed discussed and decided

455
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,340
um when I reached out to the public

456
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:49,200
access counselor to try to understand

457
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:51,840
um this policy better he said the

458
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,880
discussion ensued is not sufficient

459
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,380
the phrase discussion ensue does not

460
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,600
capture the general substance of

461
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:59,940
anything obviously the law gives

462
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,220
latitude and does not require a word for

463
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:04,260
word transcript but the minutes are

464
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:07,140
supposed to contain a description of the

465
00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:10,440
discussion and I know this same topic

466
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:12,000
was sent to legal counsel a few months

467
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,780
ago

468
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,400
um and so to what was legal counsel's

469
00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:21,419
opinion on this topic of discussion

470
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,740
ensued versus sharing a summary

471
00:23:21,419 --> 00:23:24,000
um if you're asking that question of me

472
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:25,679
as the board chair I'm assuming that's

473
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,200
what you're doing right now the answer

474
00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:29,700
was that the um legal counsel through

475
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,559
school corporation reviewed our minutes

476
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:35,159
over several months and found them to be

477
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:37,260
entirely suitable and legal as compared

478
00:23:35,159 --> 00:23:39,900
to what transpired in the meeting so if

479
00:23:37,260 --> 00:23:41,400
you'll recall she was here in person and

480
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,020
then subsequently reviewed the minutes

481
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,720
from the meeting that she observed

482
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:47,820
firsthand and found them to be

483
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,799
appropriate

484
00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:51,120
um hang on just a minute uh Mr shot

485
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,679
you're the only member who has not yet

486
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,179
spoken would you like to speak before I

487
00:23:52,679 --> 00:23:55,919
go to a second round

488
00:23:54,179 --> 00:23:57,960
just say don't we have the transcript

489
00:23:55,919 --> 00:23:59,400
that provides everything of the meeting

490
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,020
so people can listen to the transcript

491
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,419
they want to hear the entire

492
00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:06,000
yes to confirm that there is a recording

493
00:24:03,419 --> 00:24:08,039
of our entire meeting and as well as the

494
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,320
YouTube transcription unofficial

495
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:12,240
transcript that are available as well

496
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,799
all right with that we can go to a

497
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,100
second round of comments I would ask you

498
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:19,799
please to keep it brief Dr Yin okay just

499
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:22,200
to clarify and so the mean on minutes

500
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:25,799
will only require for example somebody

501
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:29,039
made a motion and for example today in

502
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:32,400
our case and Mr Wong made a motion to

503
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:37,440
add a comment section and in the agenda

504
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:42,480
for future meetings and then we voted Mr

505
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:45,659
Wong and Mrs Wong for I support to add

506
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:48,480
that and public comments at the end of

507
00:24:45,659 --> 00:24:50,520
the meeting the other four members vote

508
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,919
here no we will add these two minutes

509
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,480
right just to clarify that is a

510
00:24:52,919 --> 00:24:56,100
requirement of the minutes that all

511
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,900
votes be recorded and so it will

512
00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:00,900
indicate who voted for and who voted

513
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:03,059
against any Motion in our agenda okay so

514
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:05,460
okay got it so that means in the future

515
00:25:03,059 --> 00:25:06,059
if we want to propose anything with a

516
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:08,280
better

517
00:25:06,059 --> 00:25:10,880
make a motion

518
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,580
so to be included

519
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,140
well that is a bit of a

520
00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:17,760
generalization but I'd be happy this is

521
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:19,200
kind of more aboard training matter I'd

522
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,820
be happy to meet with you to discuss

523
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,380
that the way that that works though I do

524
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:24,600
think it's fairly well documented at

525
00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:28,380
this point in time but

526
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:32,039
um we do uh the minutes specifically are

527
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:35,039
a recording of actions taken so that is

528
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:36,980
what the minutes are intended to be and

529
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:40,440
not of detailed commentary

530
00:25:36,980 --> 00:25:41,700
of what anyone said in the course of

531
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,320
that so

532
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:46,140
would any other member like to make

533
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:49,200
another comment Mr Wong yeah I think

534
00:25:46,140 --> 00:25:51,240
blessing need to be clarifies uh we did

535
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,220
pretty good work during the last few

536
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,100
years we have a lot of detailed

537
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:58,140
informations our meeting means and we

538
00:25:56,100 --> 00:26:02,220
also have the live screens we have

539
00:25:58,140 --> 00:26:04,320
transcripts and that's pretty good but I

540
00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:06,179
think once you need to clarify is uh the

541
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,299
transcript is not a general substance

542
00:26:06,179 --> 00:26:12,360
required but the open door law so in

543
00:26:09,299 --> 00:26:15,360
case anybody don't know that specific

544
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:16,260
Open Door law I would like to read that

545
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,179
again

546
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:21,260
so that's the

547
00:26:18,179 --> 00:26:21,260
Indiana code

548
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:30,299
5-14-1.5-4 so Item B at the meeting

549
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:34,440
progresses the following memories should

550
00:26:30,299 --> 00:26:36,419
be kept and the neither number three the

551
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:41,159
general substance of all matters

552
00:26:36,419 --> 00:26:43,020
proposed discussed or decided so those

553
00:26:41,159 --> 00:26:45,840
are information should be on the meeting

554
00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:47,820
minutes thank you

555
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,100
any other comments or questions on the

556
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:52,440
second round Mrs Austin I just wondered

557
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:54,360
if Mrs Mumford could clarify did you

558
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,279
make a complaint to the public access

559
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,720
counselor about a board that you sit on

560
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:59,100
so we have a complaint it would have

561
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,600
come to the whole board so complaints

562
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,400
when they're filed would be turned over

563
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,659
to the school district when you just ask

564
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,020
a question and they'll just answer

565
00:27:03,659 --> 00:27:10,740
questions for you okay

566
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:11,760
okay but Mr shot or Mrs Mumford neither

567
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:14,659
of you have spoken in the second round

568
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,659
do you have anything to add

569
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,360
I'll add that

570
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:20,039
um when we did hear back from legal

571
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,679
counsel on this that they did say there

572
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:23,880
was no legal concerns which is valid

573
00:27:22,679 --> 00:27:25,559
um never did say that we were in

574
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,679
complete compliance because there is

575
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:30,059
questions they said on what exactly this

576
00:27:28,679 --> 00:27:33,179
means

577
00:27:30,059 --> 00:27:35,820
um but did say the wrist seems small if

578
00:27:33,179 --> 00:27:36,840
we weren't compliant and that the worst

579
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:38,159
thing that would happen is that we

580
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,340
revise the minutes

581
00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:43,980
so I find that when we

582
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:46,500
hear the recommendation from the public

583
00:27:43,980 --> 00:27:49,260
access counselor encouraging us to share

584
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:51,000
more information and the city council is

585
00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:52,320
a good one that shows us an example we

586
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,960
can read their minutes and see what

587
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,220
happened I think that this is a good

588
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,039
thing that we can do for our community

589
00:27:56,220 --> 00:28:00,539
to share and public record and what

590
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:03,000
happens

591
00:28:00,539 --> 00:28:04,799
good uh everyone has had the opportunity

592
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,659
to comment twice at this point I'm going

593
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:09,779
to call the vote all those in favor

594
00:28:06,659 --> 00:28:12,140
again Mr Marley is abstaining all those

595
00:28:09,779 --> 00:28:14,640
in favor of

596
00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:17,220
modifying the minutes from the August

597
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,400
14th minute August 14th meeting to

598
00:28:17,220 --> 00:28:22,260
include Mrs mumford's commentary please

599
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,940
indicate with a show of hands again all

600
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:25,340
those in favor please indicate with a

601
00:28:23,940 --> 00:28:29,520
show of hands

602
00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:31,980
uh please note that Dr Yin Mr Wong and

603
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,260
Mrs Mumford all have agreed in the

604
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:35,940
affirmative they would like that all of

605
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:37,440
those opposed indicate with the show of

606
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:40,440
hands

607
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:45,900
please and please note that Mr shot Mrs

608
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Austin and Mrs Mrs Witt have voted nay

609
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:50,240
I have no idea when it's high what

610
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,240
happens there

611
00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:58,279
okay

612
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,659
I don't know the answer of the question

613
00:29:00,779 --> 00:29:05,779
and what happens in a tie

614
00:29:03,659 --> 00:29:05,779
um

615
00:29:07,140 --> 00:29:12,779
don't have any Robert's Rules experts

616
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,360
out there and suppose because it's not

617
00:29:12,779 --> 00:29:18,360
thanks went to the actual content of the

618
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,399
meeting itself but more to the structure

619
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,580
of the minutes

620
00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:28,799
Mr Marley could therefore vote because

621
00:29:23,580 --> 00:29:30,960
it's a procedural issue and not

622
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:33,419
limited to the substance of the meeting

623
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,580
he wasn't attending does that make sense

624
00:29:33,419 --> 00:29:37,380
it does but it seems like a stretch to

625
00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:38,760
me a little bit if he wasn't present I

626
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:40,260
hate to put him in the position of

627
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,360
voting something he did not witness that

628
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:44,460
doesn't feel appropriate to me I found

629
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,200
something online I don't know any

630
00:29:44,460 --> 00:29:48,360
history of this but to me it makes sense

631
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,520
it says in the event of a tie vote the

632
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,559
motion always fails because an

633
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,260
affirmative vote is required to pass any

634
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:57,059
motion so that actually does seem lined

635
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:58,440
up to me that seems to make sense to me

636
00:29:57,059 --> 00:30:00,779
but I don't know if that's even a

637
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,039
quotable or reputable Source no that

638
00:30:00,779 --> 00:30:03,360
sounds correct to me based on my

639
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:04,740
knowledge of Robert's Rule as well thank

640
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,539
you for doing the quick look up on that

641
00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:09,480
I'd be about our attorney we'll see if

642
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:11,640
we could find that yeah okay so uh with

643
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,600
that we are going to

644
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,179
um

645
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,039
note that that motion fails Mrs Julian

646
00:30:15,179 --> 00:30:19,260

647
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:22,440

session any questions or comments

723
00:33:33,659 --> 00:33:38,039
related to the minutes presented for

724
00:33:35,820 --> 00:33:39,779
this executive session

725
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:43,740
doctor yet

726
00:33:39,779 --> 00:33:46,380
um the SE are fairly brief so and I

727
00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:49,279
understand that the central office is

728
00:33:46,380 --> 00:33:53,279
like putting together all the comments

729
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:55,380
and like together I wonder whether in

730
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:57,539
the future there will be a report or

731
00:33:55,380 --> 00:34:00,899
something for the public to see what was

732
00:33:57,539 --> 00:34:04,399
covered add to the executive meeting and

733
00:34:00,899 --> 00:34:06,960
the priorities will list it or something

734
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:08,460
yeah we did last year do a public report

735
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,899
of the board priorities and I would

736
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:10,740
expect that we would do it again this

737
00:34:09,899 --> 00:34:12,980
year

738
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:15,780
does that match yours yes yes we will

739
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:17,220
okay thanks yes

740
00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:18,659
thank you that will be coming in the

741
00:34:17,220 --> 00:34:20,280
future okay thank you for that question

742
00:34:18,659 --> 00:34:23,240
are there any other questions about the

743
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,240
minutes from that meeting

744
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,879
Mr Wong you look like you want to say

745
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:31,919
something but maybe it's related but not

746
00:34:29,879 --> 00:34:34,200
uh regarding these meeting minutes

747
00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:35,399
basically we have our priorities for

748
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,679
last years

749
00:34:35,399 --> 00:34:40,080
the internally or maybe something I've

750
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:42,780
already done that we go through and see

751
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,540
review the priorities during the last

752
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:47,099
year and see where I achieve that or how

753
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:49,080
far away or something we can improve

754
00:34:47,099 --> 00:34:50,940
something like review the the priorities

755
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,520
with compare with what we the

756
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:55,440
implementations that uh do we have that

757
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,119
kind of things happen

758
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,099
uh so you're looking for a wraparound

759
00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:00,780
report from last year's priorities in

760
00:34:59,099 --> 00:35:03,180
addition to the presentation for this

761
00:35:00,780 --> 00:35:05,880
year's priorities is that your request

762
00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:08,160
request I'm just wondering do it done

763
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,020
that before so the summer last year was

764
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,579
the first year we did the board retreat

765
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:15,599
the board and administrative team

766
00:35:11,579 --> 00:35:17,940
Retreat and planning uh those that

767
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:19,740
feedback was given by our superintendent

768
00:35:17,940 --> 00:35:22,619
to everyone on the board administrative

769
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:25,079
team to review so we did we as a board

770
00:35:22,619 --> 00:35:28,500
have had the opportunity to review the

771
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:30,540
outcomes as a suspi or superintendent

772
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:33,300
um was there some additional reporting

773
00:35:30,540 --> 00:35:35,099
that you were looking for for that not

774
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,839
really I'm just because last year we

775
00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:39,000
have several priorities

776
00:35:36,839 --> 00:35:41,940
so how what's going on during the last

777
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,780
years we have some Target and then we

778
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:47,760
however Implement that in our operations

779
00:35:44,780 --> 00:35:49,740
and I just wondering how far away or we

780
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,599
already achieved some goals so

781
00:35:49,740 --> 00:35:53,579
working on that something we need to

782
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:56,040
improve or something like that to have a

783
00:35:53,579 --> 00:35:57,000
review so that information was provided

784
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,800
to all members of the board

785
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,859
administrative team prior to our

786
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:05,160
executive report that was before the the

787
00:36:01,859 --> 00:36:08,160
next year's Retreat so we all received a

788
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,960
reporting from Dr Greiner about last

789
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,480
year's goals and our progress on last

790
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,940
year's goals to review prior to going to

791
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,339
this year's planning so I think it was

792
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:20,880
about a week before that you sent it out

793
00:36:17,339 --> 00:36:23,940
to us yes yeah and it was in in box or

794
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:27,119
in it was in box

795
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:30,000
I think I put it in box I believe it it

796
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:32,460
was in books rather than emailed

797
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,200
yeah but we were provided with that

798
00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:35,640
information prior he sent that out to

799
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,220
all everyone who would be in the meeting

800
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:41,579
so everyone came in prepared to to have

801
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:44,160
a good Retreat this second year so I

802
00:36:41,579 --> 00:36:47,579
think we got the how I remember how this

803
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:50,099

804
00:36:47,579 --> 00:36:52,380

873
00:39:21,180 --> 00:39:25,800
report Dr Greiner

874
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,859
so you had the Personnel report in your

875
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:31,280
inbox and in your board packet it is my

876
00:39:28,859 --> 00:39:35,579
recommendation that the Personnel report

877
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:38,720
be approved as indicated in the Box

878
00:39:35,579 --> 00:39:41,460
I would entertain a motion

879
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:44,579
moved by Mr Marley

880
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:46,380
second by Mr Wong just as a note to all

881
00:39:44,579 --> 00:39:48,000
board members we did receive a late

882
00:39:46,380 --> 00:39:49,320
revision to the Personnel report there

883
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,660
were no additions there was a

884
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,400
subtraction

885
00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:56,040
anybody any questions or comments

886
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,599
regarding the Personnel report

887
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,400
Mrs Mumford

888
00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:00,839
um I had two questions my first one is

889
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,240
that my understanding is we now have a

890
00:40:00,839 --> 00:40:07,200
part-time career advisor at the high

891
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:09,660
school what is their role

892
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,260
um and how does that work

893
00:40:09,660 --> 00:40:12,260
foreign

894
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:26,280
Commerce greater Lafayette and what they

895
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:29,220
did is they did a grant through the

896
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:32,579
state that provides services to schools

897
00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:33,960
and Beyond Tippecanoe County and we um

898
00:40:32,579 --> 00:40:35,700
there were some other schools that have

899
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,800
started on that two years ago some of

900
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:39,720
them started on that one year ago that

901
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,240
position is entirely paid through the

902
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,500
Grant and that position Works through

903
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:45,720
the counseling team to understand

904
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:48,060
students that might need some targeted

905
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:51,359
help to understand what their next steps

906
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:52,980
would look like and Beyond the part-time

907
00:40:51,359 --> 00:40:54,540
position that is entirely paid through

908
00:40:52,980 --> 00:40:56,700
the grant our students will receive some

909
00:40:54,540 --> 00:40:59,099
other benefits as well teachers will

910
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:01,339
have access to curriculum teachers will

911
00:40:59,099 --> 00:41:04,079
have access to some

912
00:41:01,339 --> 00:41:06,079
virtual type field trips or virtual

913
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:08,960
guest speakers who can talk about

914
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:13,560
opportunities in Tippecanoe County

915
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:14,940
through employers of all types and we've

916
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,440
got some teacher leaders who have

917
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:18,480
stepped up to say we want to be a part

918
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,720
of that as well so really we're giving

919
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:23,820
our students some opportunities in at no

920
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:25,680
cost to us and at a benefit to teachers

921
00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:27,500
who can continue to use the curriculum

922
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,820
and of course students will benefit

923
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:32,040
you know students who may not yet have a

924
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:33,599
plan would probably be the most targeted

925
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,520
type students but even students who do

926
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:37,260
have a plan who may just be searching

927
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,760
for things beyond what they would have

928
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:42,300
already envisioned

929
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:44,640
is it a one-year Grant the grant

930
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:47,579
actually I think continues through next

931
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:50,339
year but the people organizing the grant

932
00:41:47,579 --> 00:41:51,380
are hoping to work with

933
00:41:50,339 --> 00:41:54,359
um

934
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:57,119
industry who will hopefully see the

935
00:41:54,359 --> 00:41:58,740
value in it to and with the hopes that

936
00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:00,119
industry will want to continue to

937
00:41:58,740 --> 00:42:01,920
sponsor some of these opportunities

938
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:03,720
awesome thank you

939
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,820
you're welcome and then I had a second

940
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:08,820
question if you would share an update on

941
00:42:05,820 --> 00:42:11,640
the open Dei position please yes and we

942
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:15,480
just talked about that we uh we plan to

943
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:18,140
post that in November and we're right

944
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:20,220
now working on finalizing what that um

945
00:42:18,140 --> 00:42:22,680
job description will look like we

946
00:42:20,220 --> 00:42:24,540
started by working with administrators

947
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,820
the principles and we're going to get

948
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:28,140
some Community input too so

949
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:29,520
as we work through that process we'll

950
00:42:28,140 --> 00:42:32,099
get that posted

951
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,560
you're welcome Dr Ian

952
00:42:32,099 --> 00:42:36,540
not sure whether these comments kind of

953
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,780
should be put here but I really don't

954
00:42:36,540 --> 00:42:42,119
know where to comment it and just so in

955
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:44,160
general I wonder

956
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:46,440
um especially for high school you know

957
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,980
students um

958
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:53,460
uh uh how to say don't necessarily have

959
00:42:49,980 --> 00:42:56,760
a home school a home home classroom so

960
00:42:53,460 --> 00:43:00,000
there are a lot of um like a specialists

961
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,359
in the system principles in the DI

962
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,280
director in a career

963
00:43:02,359 --> 00:43:10,020
counselor other counselors

964
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:13,200
and I wonder whether we can have a

965
00:43:10,020 --> 00:43:14,880
directory or something to describe

966
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,040
all those

967
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,440
um teachers

968
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:23,520
specialty I don't know how to call the

969
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:26,060
administrator or something and there are

970
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,980
like a job description like what kind of

971
00:43:26,060 --> 00:43:31,619
issues we can talk to this person or

972
00:43:28,980 --> 00:43:34,619
that person who is in charge of club and

973
00:43:31,619 --> 00:43:38,520
like the idea asks her what kind of

974
00:43:34,619 --> 00:43:42,420
issues I can talk to him or her and so

975
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:46,140
like even that before and

976
00:43:42,420 --> 00:43:50,040
I somehow as a paradise or di director

977
00:43:46,140 --> 00:43:52,700
will help students with a

978
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,720
some issues like if they see any

979
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:57,000
discrimination or something they can

980
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:59,640
report to Dei director but not unless it

981
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:03,420
sounds like it's not necessary her job

982
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:06,180
is her Duty and so I felt it would be

983
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:08,700
helpful to have that kind of description

984
00:44:06,180 --> 00:44:11,520
for the central

985
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:13,079
staff members in the high school again

986
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,400
because it's kind of quite different

987
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:16,440
from the

988
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,380
Elementary School and the intermediate

989
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:23,400
school and where you have home teacher

990
00:44:19,380 --> 00:44:25,980
who can be your point of contact person

991
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:29,579
and from there you can fund the right

992
00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:31,980
person to take care of whatever specific

993
00:44:29,579 --> 00:44:34,619
request or whatever but in high school I

994
00:44:31,980 --> 00:44:36,720
feel many patterns are pretty lost and

995
00:44:34,619 --> 00:44:38,640
they don't know who to talk to if they

996
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:41,880
have a particular issue

997
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,740
besides uh yeah if they have a question

998
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,119
about their particular class yes they

999
00:44:43,740 --> 00:44:48,599
talk to the teacher about how about

1000
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:51,140
other things and so I feel it'd be

1001
00:44:48,599 --> 00:44:53,460
helpful to have some sort of directory

1002
00:44:51,140 --> 00:44:55,859
describing their

1003
00:44:53,460 --> 00:44:59,339
duties and

1004
00:44:55,859 --> 00:45:02,220
also like we have some session like

1005
00:44:59,339 --> 00:45:06,180
students with last name from what what

1006
00:45:02,220 --> 00:45:09,300
should talk to who and who and I feel

1007
00:45:06,180 --> 00:45:10,200
now all the parents know exactly the

1008
00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:14,760
rule

1009
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:16,859
sometimes I just maybe somewhere Hayden

1010
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,319
somewhere or add some sort of an

1011
00:45:16,859 --> 00:45:20,280
orientation that information was given

1012
00:45:19,319 --> 00:45:23,040
but

1013
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,980
but maybe people miss it and then people

1014
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:29,099
ask around then yeah

1015
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:32,579
maybe it's particularly

1016
00:45:29,099 --> 00:45:35,099
challenging for immigrants I I will say

1017
00:45:32,579 --> 00:45:37,380
because for those who maybe grew up in

1018
00:45:35,099 --> 00:45:41,160
this country they they know what's going

1019
00:45:37,380 --> 00:45:43,859
on but for people who

1020
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,839
didn't grow up in this system and they

1021
00:45:43,859 --> 00:45:48,599
need to learn what's going on because

1022
00:45:45,839 --> 00:45:51,660
for example in China we even in high

1023
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:53,760
school we still have homes homeroom and

1024
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:56,400
so students just sit in that room

1025
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:59,640
teachers keep coming to give physics

1026
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,680
class or math class and so on but here

1027
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,140
you know cases walk around the two fun

1028
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,440
in their classroom they set up is

1029
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:09,240
totally different and I feel some sort

1030
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,819
of clarification will be helpful given

1031
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:13,740
we have so many immigrants in in our

1032
00:46:11,819 --> 00:46:15,480
school district

1033
00:46:13,740 --> 00:46:19,040
thank you for your feedback anyone else

1034
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,040
any comments on the Personnel report

1035
00:46:19,140 --> 00:46:22,140
hearing none all those in favor of

1036
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,900
approving the Personnel report please

1037
00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:26,760
indicate with the show of hands

1038
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:29,339
Mrs Julian please note that motion

1039
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,260
carries seven to zero moving on to item

1040
00:46:29,339 --> 00:46:34,220
five field trips

1041
00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:34,220
Dr Griner

1042
00:46:34,380 --> 00:46:38,280
we have two field trips that we're

1043
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,680
asking the board to approve tonight at

1044
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:43,260
the high school German class their

1045
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,119
annual trip to Chicago Illinois November

1046
00:46:43,260 --> 00:46:47,160
30th that is out of state so the board

1047
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:48,960
would need to approve that

1048
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:52,020
field trip and then the high school

1049
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:54,119
music department extracurricular trip to

1050
00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:56,460
Los Angeles California that'll be over

1051
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:59,819
spring break it will be March 12th

1052
00:46:56,460 --> 00:47:01,380
through March 16th and we're asking the

1053
00:46:59,819 --> 00:47:03,180
board to approve these two trips this

1054
00:47:01,380 --> 00:47:06,480
evening thank you I'll entertain a

1055
00:47:03,180 --> 00:47:08,640
motion so let's move by Mrs Austin

1056
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,579
second by Mr Marley any questions about

1057
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:13,220
uh field trips this evening

1058
00:47:11,579 --> 00:47:16,920
Dr Yin

1059
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:20,339
and I really appreciate our teachers to

1060
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:23,099
sort of take their personal time and to

1061
00:47:20,339 --> 00:47:24,900
lead the cases for the field trip to

1062
00:47:23,099 --> 00:47:28,680
give them more educational enrichment

1063
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:31,280
and but for the music trip I noticed

1064
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:33,980
that the cost is pretty high I wonder

1065
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:37,260
whether our school

1066
00:47:33,980 --> 00:47:40,440
or the foundation Whoever has any means

1067
00:47:37,260 --> 00:47:43,380
to help those dismanted kids to sort of

1068
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:48,119
subsidize their the costs so they can

1069
00:47:43,380 --> 00:47:50,220
attend this trip as well in

1070
00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:52,260
thank you

1071
00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:53,760
so there are opportunities for

1072
00:47:52,260 --> 00:47:55,740
fundraising

1073
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,200
I know that the sponsors do provide

1074
00:47:55,740 --> 00:48:00,720
opportunities for fundraising and I gave

1075
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:03,420
some response to the sponsors based on

1076
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:05,940
the questions that were submitted so

1077
00:48:03,420 --> 00:48:07,859
um if you have further clarification

1078
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:11,160
clarifying questions from there

1079
00:48:07,859 --> 00:48:13,380
I'd be happy to try to answer this

1080
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,180
from a personal perspective actually and

1081
00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:17,220
I was unable to afford that trip for my

1082
00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:19,140
two children and it is a voluntary field

1083
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:21,359
trip and they suffer no penalty for not

1084
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:23,460
attending that particular outing so

1085
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:25,280
families have many reasons to choose not

1086
00:48:23,460 --> 00:48:27,900
to participate in

1087
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,480
I feel confident that if if my children

1088
00:48:27,900 --> 00:48:33,060
or any student went to the advisors and

1089
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,560
wished to go that the advisors would do

1090
00:48:33,060 --> 00:48:37,160
all they could do to support that

1091
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:39,480
student going on the trip

1092
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,560
is there any other I want to give you

1093
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,760
another chance if you've got more

1094
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,380
questions but are there any members who

1095
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,980
have not yet spoken with questions about

1096
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:45,980
field trips

1097
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:51,920
okay Dr again did you have something you

1098
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:54,540
wanted to add yeah I just uh

1099
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,599
if there are opportunities for those

1100
00:48:54,540 --> 00:48:59,579
kids I just uh I want to make sure that

1101
00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:01,800
those families know their opportunities

1102
00:48:59,579 --> 00:49:04,619
because some people may just assume okay

1103
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:08,640
I cannot afford it I'm not just I will

1104
00:49:04,619 --> 00:49:12,480
not even try and so you know in general

1105
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,520
our this tricked is fairly wealthy and

1106
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,280
you know the majority of occasion for

1107
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:20,000
example don't do the freelance or reduce

1108
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:23,339
the price lunch but we do have like a 12

1109
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,800
about 12 percent of something students

1110
00:49:23,339 --> 00:49:28,920
who who are eligible for the free or

1111
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:32,099
reduced lunch we need to be kind of uh

1112
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,839
keep that in mind so for any of those

1113
00:49:32,099 --> 00:49:36,480
activities we need to think about how

1114
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:39,839
about those kids so it's not like let

1115
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,900
them decide and we need to figure out a

1116
00:49:39,839 --> 00:49:44,099
way to help them

1117
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:45,960

any questions or comments about the

Meridian health memorandum of

understanding

1138
00:50:32,940 --> 00:50:38,780
Mr Wong to have some quick question so

1139
00:50:36,420 --> 00:50:41,220
this company already

1140
00:50:38,780 --> 00:50:44,119
had contract with us right now oh this

1141
00:50:41,220 --> 00:50:44,119
is a new contractor

1142
00:50:45,319 --> 00:50:49,980
I think they've come across new

1143
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,900
leadership and we've had the services in

1144
00:50:49,980 --> 00:50:55,500
place before but this person wanted to

1145
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:58,619
put an mou in place to Define rules

1146
00:50:55,500 --> 00:51:01,619
and I my understanding we don't have any

1147
00:50:58,619 --> 00:51:06,000
texture costs or obligations other than

1148
00:51:01,619 --> 00:51:08,400
provide facilities okay so and then my

1149
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,319
understanding the benefit is for our

1150
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,240
students and the parents right basically

1151
00:51:10,319 --> 00:51:14,040
the parents don't need a trip to come

1152
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:17,000
here and they can provide on-site

1153
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,000
service

1154
00:51:17,780 --> 00:51:25,980
is there fair to say

1155
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:27,780
way School step extra miles to create a

1156
00:51:25,980 --> 00:51:30,300
better education environment for

1157
00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:32,819
students and parents is that fair to say

1158
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,599
that I think it's yeah it's fair to say

1159
00:51:32,819 --> 00:51:35,940
that

1160
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:37,200
um the school that we see the benefit of

1161
00:51:35,940 --> 00:51:39,000
the students getting the additional

1162
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,680
support and of supporting the families

1163
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,480
and if the families are interested and

1164
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,700
we can provide the space and the time

1165
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,920
for that for the for the people

1166
00:51:44,700 --> 00:51:49,500
providing the services and the students

1167
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:52,500
to connect their support for that

1168
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:55,339
thank you you're welcome

1169
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:57,900
any other questions or comments Dr Yin

1170
00:51:55,339 --> 00:52:01,319
so if

1171
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:04,200
um the case receive their surveys and

1172
00:52:01,319 --> 00:52:06,559
they pay for they pay for this service

1173
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,559
right

1174
00:52:06,660 --> 00:52:11,280
oh okay we do not handle anything with

1175
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,559
billing we don't handle any part of the

1176
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:16,260
recommendation it is really we are

1177
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:17,780
providing a space for this to occur and

1178
00:52:16,260 --> 00:52:20,640
we are agreeing to respect

1179
00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:21,900
confidentiality of the students involved

1180
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:26,540
in that service

1181
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:30,480
okay and my second question will be how

1182
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:32,819
doing make the students know it's kind

1183
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:35,700
of related to my earlier question and so

1184
00:52:32,819 --> 00:52:37,319
kind of inform the students of the

1185
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:40,319
availability of it these are families

1186
00:52:37,319 --> 00:52:42,359
who have already sought out Services we

1187
00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:44,400
it is completely separate from the

1188
00:52:42,359 --> 00:52:46,920
school we are literally just providing a

1189
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:49,140
space so families have already sought

1190
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:52,079
Services through this particular service

1191
00:52:49,140 --> 00:52:54,119
provider and the service provider is

1192
00:52:52,079 --> 00:52:56,280
saying it would be convenient for us to

1193
00:52:54,119 --> 00:52:58,800

1194
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,559

1203
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:22,079

moving on to item seven School Bus

1214
00:53:41,819 --> 00:53:46,800
purchase Mrs Cronk thank you after

1215
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,240
discussion with Mr Caldwell it was

1216
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,040
decided that due to the lead time on

1217
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:51,839
buses and the fact that the cost keeps

1218
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:55,260
increasing at fairly High rates we need

1219
00:53:51,839 --> 00:53:57,240
to order the bus planned for 2024 now Mr

1220
00:53:55,260 --> 00:53:59,220
Caldwell wishes to purchase an 84

1221
00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:00,780
passenger rear engine Transit bus to

1222
00:53:59,220 --> 00:54:02,880
replace one of the older buses currently

1223
00:54:00,780 --> 00:54:04,260
in our Fleet bids were obtained from the

1224
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,819
Central Indiana Educational Service

1225
00:54:04,260 --> 00:54:07,440
Center which provides a service of

1226
00:54:05,819 --> 00:54:09,059
obtaining bids on various items that

1227
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,920
school corporations typically purchase

1228
00:54:09,059 --> 00:54:12,660
the results of the bid are included in

1229
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,460
your board packets please note that only

1230
00:54:12,660 --> 00:54:16,440

engine transit buses currently Bluebird

1232
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:22,319
and Thomas of the two Thomas came in

1233
00:54:18,599 --> 00:54:23,940
with the lowest price of 184 896 dollars

1234
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:25,500
it's definitely gone up in price over

1235
00:54:23,940 --> 00:54:26,819
the years so please approve this

1236
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:28,319
recommendation to purchase the Thomas

1237
00:54:26,819 --> 00:54:30,300
bus so that we could take advantage of

1238
00:54:28,319 --> 00:54:31,920
the lower pricing in this bid cycle at

1239
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:35,700
this time the bus is not expected to be

1240
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:37,680
delivered well until well into 2024.

1241
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:38,599

00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:49,740
Mrs Mumford

1247
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:51,240
um do we have plans to transition to

1248
00:54:49,740 --> 00:54:53,400
electric buses or what is the

1249
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:54,839
conversation that question was post Mr

1250
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,940
Caldwell previously by a Community

1251
00:54:54,839 --> 00:54:59,520
member and he did do an analysis and

1252
00:54:56,940 --> 00:55:01,319
looked into it as you know we currently

1253
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,059
um contract with CSC to take care of our

1254
00:55:01,319 --> 00:55:05,460
buses so a lot would have to go into

1255
00:55:03,059 --> 00:55:07,859
that decision TSC currently does not use

1256
00:55:05,460 --> 00:55:09,180
electric looking at the additional cost

1257
00:55:07,859 --> 00:55:10,619
of electric buses plus the

1258
00:55:09,180 --> 00:55:12,119
infrastructure that would be needed in

1259
00:55:10,619 --> 00:55:14,220
the cost of that infrastructure the

1260
00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:16,319
costs or the benefits don't outweigh the

1261
00:55:14,220 --> 00:55:17,700
costs at this time for us so we are

1262
00:55:16,319 --> 00:55:20,280
talking about other things into the

1263
00:55:17,700 --> 00:55:22,140
future though so thank you any other

1264
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,599

we'll move on to section six information

1323
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:34,079
of the board

1324
00:57:31,559 --> 00:57:35,940
um I will Begin by telling you that I

1325
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:37,980
have uh just informing the board that

1326
00:57:35,940 --> 00:57:39,420
I've communicated with the legal counsel

1327
00:57:37,980 --> 00:57:43,040
to initiate the superintendent

1328
00:57:39,420 --> 00:57:46,440
evaluation process that begins annually

1329
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:49,020
as soon as I receive back uh some

1330
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:51,480
clarification and update from legal

1331
00:57:49,020 --> 00:57:53,160
counsel I will communicate that onto the

1332
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,319
board and initiate the process within

1333
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,760
the board

1334
00:57:54,319 --> 00:57:59,640
and then the other is that we do have

1335
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:01,440
only one public records request open at

1336
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:03,420
this time that will fall outside of our

1337
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,280
retainer fee structure and that is

1338
00:58:03,420 --> 00:58:07,920
Zachary bail who has made a public

1339
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,800
records request for all of our public

1340
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:13,020
records requests for the past

1341
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:15,660
22 and 23 if I'm recalling correctly

1342
00:58:13,020 --> 00:58:20,700
what that was I'm sorry I don't have it

1343
00:58:15,660 --> 00:58:22,260
fresh in front of me that is in process

1344
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:24,059
um just as clarification to the board

1345
00:58:22,260 --> 00:58:25,680
there are many reasons why someone would

1346
00:58:24,059 --> 00:58:27,900
file a public records request of the

1347
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,520
school corporation very few of the

1348
00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:32,220
public records requests filed to the

1349
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:34,319
school corporation are fall outside of

1350
00:58:32,220 --> 00:58:36,540
our retainer fee structure those that do

1351
00:58:34,319 --> 00:58:38,339
are typically related to the business of

1352
00:58:36,540 --> 00:58:41,160
the board not the business of the school

1353
00:58:38,339 --> 00:58:42,660
corporation so those are the ones that I

1354
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,599
report to you or the ones that fall

1355
00:58:42,660 --> 00:58:48,059
outside of the retainer fee structure

1356
00:58:45,599 --> 00:58:49,619
that is all that I have for you

1357
00:58:48,059 --> 00:58:51,299
um Dr Reiner do you want to kick us off

1358
00:58:49,619 --> 00:58:53,819
with the superintendent report I had

1359
00:58:51,299 --> 00:58:56,180
three things to report out on I'd like

1360
00:58:53,819 --> 00:58:58,680
to give a quick update on some related

1361
00:58:56,180 --> 00:59:01,140
referendum activity with regard to

1362
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,180
communication I'd like to speak just

1363
00:59:01,140 --> 00:59:05,940
briefly about bargaining we've had our

1364
00:59:03,180 --> 00:59:08,220
window or our public hearing so I think

1365
00:59:05,940 --> 00:59:10,380
mostly that was covered there and then

1366
00:59:08,220 --> 00:59:12,540
I'll give a quick update on current

1367
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:14,160
enrollment so with regard to the

1368
00:59:12,540 --> 00:59:17,640
referendum we've been working closely

1369
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:21,359
with daler PR and we had a meeting today

1370
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:24,420
during our cabinet meeting Mrs Cronk Mrs

1371
00:59:21,359 --> 00:59:27,480
Roth and I will start having monthly or

1372
00:59:24,420 --> 00:59:29,280
weekly meetings on Monday mornings with

1373
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:32,520
them some things that have developed

1374
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:35,099
recently the logo will be building on

1375
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,540
excellence and there's a fact sheet that

1376
00:59:35,099 --> 00:59:39,180
is being developed and is almost

1377
00:59:36,540 --> 00:59:41,520
finished with key messaging that will go

1378
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:43,819
out in a postcard to the public or the

1379
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:46,140
community to support

1380
00:59:43,819 --> 00:59:48,359
what's going to be on the ballot what it

1381
00:59:46,140 --> 00:59:51,000
means and why it matters to the district

1382
00:59:48,359 --> 00:59:55,079
there was also

1383
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:58,440

1384
00:59:55,079 --> 01:00:00,720

this month uh well the daily PR is

1393
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:27,359
focusing on developing a micro website

1394
01:00:24,780 --> 01:00:29,760
so that same information will be put on

1395
01:00:27,359 --> 01:00:31,619
the website there'll be a video that

1396
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:34,440
gives the information that we're giving

1397
01:00:31,619 --> 01:00:36,359
in the presentations out in the

1398
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:39,180
community and then we will send out

1399
01:00:36,359 --> 01:00:41,040
similar information through e-newsletter

1400
01:00:39,180 --> 01:00:43,200
the yes committee is working very

1401
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,240
closely with a day or PR at this time

1402
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,319

1403

thank you both Mr Marley and Mr Wong we

1417
01:01:24,359 --> 01:01:28,559
appreciate it we've had a pre-bargaining

1418
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:30,000
meeting to kind of get up to speed we've

1419
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:32,400
talked with the administrators that'll

1420
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,020
be in on the administrative team as well

1421
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,480
and we've actually had a pre-bargaining

1422
01:01:34,020 --> 01:01:38,940
meeting with the teachers team and that

1423
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:41,819
went well as well so like the teachers

1424
01:01:38,940 --> 01:01:44,040
announced or Mr Jost announced we

1425
01:01:41,819 --> 01:01:46,859
appreciate the collaborative effort that

1426
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:49,559
transpires through the bargaining

1427
01:01:46,859 --> 01:01:53,819
process finally enrollment average daily

1428
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:55,859
membership count is at 22.11 today those

1429
01:01:53,819 --> 01:02:00,660
are individuals in this in our school

1430
01:01:55,859 --> 01:02:02,880
seats that are in our uh community so

1431
01:02:00,660 --> 01:02:07,079
they're just our average daily count but

1432
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:11,760
we also have transfers 143 141 transfer

1433
01:02:07,079 --> 01:02:14,460
students from TSC the 2211 is down 43

1434
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:17,640
students from a year ago today if that

1435
01:02:14,460 --> 01:02:20,160
holds study and we are up several

1436
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:23,099
students in our transfer account which

1437
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:27,480
is a good thing for us because it gets

1438
01:02:23,099 --> 01:02:29,880
us to about 23 students 21 students less

1439
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,920
than last year we know that this is

1440
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:34,200
important to us because today Money

1441
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:37,500
Follows the child and so we would

1442
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:39,480
certainly be down 43 students as opposed

1443
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:43,020
to 21 students if we didn't have that

1444
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:45,720
transfer to balance it out also we are

1445
01:02:43,020 --> 01:02:48,480
monitoring Elementary class sizes and

1446
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,460
intermediate class sizes during this

1447
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,079
time so when we have our discussion

1448
01:02:50,460 --> 01:02:53,940
meetings we're talking about that and

1449
01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:56,760
we're we're watching that daily and

1450
01:02:53,940 --> 01:02:58,319

they're in the works right now of

1480
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:06,359
getting things ready and out so I will

1481
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,819
ask for a timeline I will throw that in

1482
01:04:06,359 --> 01:04:10,200
Friday notes that would be helpful okay

1483
01:04:08,819 --> 01:04:11,760
um just because it feels like we have a

1484
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,799
lot of things that we haven't done yet

1485
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,900
yes um that they had shared they would

1486
01:04:13,799 --> 01:04:18,299
do by now so it'd be helpful to hear all

1487
01:04:15,900 --> 01:04:20,160
right I will ask for that when we have

1488
01:04:18,299 --> 01:04:22,200
our next meeting I believe was what they

1489
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,480
would normally be doing but because we

1490
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,640
started late yes correct everything will

1491
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,799
be pushed okay I thought this is the one

1492
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:32,520
they gave us with our it has our correct

1493
01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:34,559
approval in July 10th and then maybe

1494
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,940
we'll still ask for another timeline and

1495
01:04:34,559 --> 01:04:37,680
we'll give that out and further notes

1496
01:04:35,940 --> 01:04:39,059
and continue to keep the board of rest

1497
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,920
of those developments thank you and

1498
01:04:39,059 --> 01:04:42,599
you're welcome two other questions and

1499
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,160
my first one is who serves on the

1500
01:04:42,599 --> 01:04:45,960
calendar committee and would you be

1501
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,420
willing to invite community members to

1502
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,640
serve on the calendar committee Dr

1503
01:04:48,420 --> 01:04:52,920
Greiner so I answered that question in

1504
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:55,740
our notes out is that a superintendent

1505
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,540
committee or that is a superintendent's

1506
01:04:55,740 --> 01:04:59,819
functional committee yes but that was

1507
01:04:57,540 --> 01:05:03,059
answered to you in the the notes and

1508
01:04:59,819 --> 01:05:04,799
it's somewhat relevant uh in the past we

1509
01:05:03,059 --> 01:05:07,680
have had a board member participate in

1510
01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:09,299
that committee but Dr Greiner uh shifted

1511
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,520
that to be an administrative committee

1512
01:05:09,299 --> 01:05:13,020
entirely uh when he came on so that

1513
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,940
represents a change from the previous

1514
01:05:13,020 --> 01:05:17,880
previous structure

1515
01:05:14,940 --> 01:05:18,540
so we have teachers

1516
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,040
um

1517
01:05:18,540 --> 01:05:22,619
we have

1518
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,780
to answer your question where we would

1519
01:05:22,619 --> 01:05:26,280
typically Mrs we have teachers and I

1520
01:05:24,780 --> 01:05:29,760
think we saw you saw who was on the

1521
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:33,480
administrators and then Mrs Roth and I

1522
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:35,099
are on there and Mrs Julian and if we

1523
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,980
were going to make a big change to the

1524
01:05:35,099 --> 01:05:39,780
calendar we might then seek input from

1525
01:05:37,980 --> 01:05:41,400
the public through like a survey but

1526
01:05:39,780 --> 01:05:43,740
typically what we're doing right now is

1527
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,540
keeping it pretty consistent so right

1528
01:05:43,740 --> 01:05:48,660
now it'll go to the board for questions

1529
01:05:45,540 --> 01:05:50,760
and approval and not necessarily go out

1530
01:05:48,660 --> 01:05:52,319
for unless we were going to decide to

1531
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,780
make a big shift to the calendar right

1532
01:05:52,319 --> 01:05:57,180
now we're folk we've been focusing on

1533
01:05:54,780 --> 01:05:58,740
just keeping it pretty consistent so now

1534
01:05:57,180 --> 01:06:00,299
why did you decide not to have a school

1535
01:05:58,740 --> 01:06:02,280
board member on it or even getting

1536
01:06:00,299 --> 01:06:04,140
Community input like there was a pretty

1537
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:06,000
big change if I remember a year ago

1538
01:06:04,140 --> 01:06:08,460
where fall break went from two days to

1539
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:12,119
four days and other things that have

1540
01:06:08,460 --> 01:06:14,760
changed without any Community input

1541
01:06:12,119 --> 01:06:16,200
um why is that why aren't we seeking any

1542
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,059
input at this point

1543
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,640
well I'll answer the school board member

1544
01:06:18,059 --> 01:06:22,200
uh role first it was just determined

1545
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,359
that we were not necessary it was

1546
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:26,940
redundant because the calendar comes to

1547
01:06:24,359 --> 01:06:28,740
the school board to discuss it so the

1548
01:06:26,940 --> 01:06:31,020
school board members do not have any

1549
01:06:28,740 --> 01:06:32,760
unique

1550
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:34,020
um role to play in the development of

1551
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,140
the school calendar that really falls

1552
01:06:34,020 --> 01:06:38,819
under the direction of our

1553
01:06:36,140 --> 01:06:40,440
leader we were behind to a year so we

1554
01:06:38,819 --> 01:06:42,539
need to get moving and the board we were

1555
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:45,000
having dialogue along the way and so the

1556
01:06:42,539 --> 01:06:46,740
committee just met and knowing that as

1557
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,140
Mrs Webb said it goes to the board

1558
01:06:46,740 --> 01:06:51,359
anyway for discussion and approval so

1559
01:06:49,140 --> 01:06:54,980
that's why no school board member okay

1560
01:06:51,359 --> 01:06:54,980
so all instead of one or two

1561
01:06:57,859 --> 01:07:04,980
I apologize one more question

1562
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:07,980
um so the eighth graders do an opt-in to

1563
01:07:04,980 --> 01:07:11,460
take the PSAT and I'm curious why that

1564
01:07:07,980 --> 01:07:13,799
that is being done and not an opt out as

1565
01:07:11,460 --> 01:07:16,140
there's a lot of advantages that is seen

1566
01:07:13,799 --> 01:07:19,980
from students taking the PSAT

1567
01:07:16,140 --> 01:07:21,240
I had you work with I believe do you

1568
01:07:19,980 --> 01:07:23,819
have any information on that if not

1569
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:26,579
we've got Mr okay I I don't know why

1570
01:07:23,819 --> 01:07:28,500
it's opt-in versus opt out okay I can

1571
01:07:26,579 --> 01:07:30,059
research it if you can I I mean it's

1572
01:07:28,500 --> 01:07:31,859
with all the research that's showing

1573
01:07:30,059 --> 01:07:33,539
about how beneficial taking these tests

1574
01:07:31,859 --> 01:07:35,480
are to students

1575
01:07:33,539 --> 01:07:37,619
um I'm not clear why we're not

1576
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,839
encouraging all the students to take it

1577
01:07:37,619 --> 01:07:42,240
and if they choose not to

1578
01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:43,980
um take it okay so I can I can work on

1579
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,720
that and get the information too thank

1580
01:07:43,980 --> 01:07:47,760
you you're welcome

1581
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,819
Dr Ian

1582
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:53,339
yeah I agree regarding the I say PST

1583
01:07:50,819 --> 01:07:56,339
PSAT because I notice the number is

1584
01:07:53,339 --> 01:07:58,799
fairly low there like means 100 students

1585
01:07:56,339 --> 01:08:01,619
are not even probably didn't even know

1586
01:07:58,799 --> 01:08:04,559
that they need to open

1587
01:08:01,619 --> 01:08:08,400
um another question is about the ADM I

1588
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:11,700
wonder how does a state counter the ADM

1589
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:14,700
if a students and for example registered

1590
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:16,859
in August about later we draw or some

1591
01:08:14,700 --> 01:08:19,920
students coming in January how do they

1592
01:08:16,859 --> 01:08:22,859
counter those students come and go so we

1593
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:25,380
take that state takes the count October

1594
01:08:22,859 --> 01:08:29,219
2nd but now they take a second count two

1595
01:08:25,380 --> 01:08:33,500
and so the ADM will be adjusted yes and

1596
01:08:29,219 --> 01:08:36,120
strong will be adjusted in February

1597
01:08:33,500 --> 01:08:38,219
based on whether it's increased or

1598
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:40,140
decreased typically because of early

1599
01:08:38,219 --> 01:08:43,500
graduation and things you'll see it

1600
01:08:40,140 --> 01:08:46,799
decrease slightly in most districts

1601
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:49,799
what history you know we have quite a

1602
01:08:46,799 --> 01:08:52,620
few students uh

1603
01:08:49,799 --> 01:08:54,600
a case I'll produce faculty and people

1604
01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:55,980
take a sabbatical leave you know they

1605
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,699
are here for

1606
01:08:55,980 --> 01:09:01,859
in Fast Master but not in Spring and for

1607
01:08:59,699 --> 01:09:04,199
those kids who are only here for one

1608
01:09:01,859 --> 01:09:05,400
semester will they be counted or they

1609
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:08,520
were only accounted for a half a year

1610
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:10,259
and then if they're here during that

1611
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:13,140
second count in February and then leave

1612
01:09:10,259 --> 01:09:14,819
then we get the rest of their ADM

1613
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:16,859
dollars for the remainder of that year

1614
01:09:14,819 --> 01:09:18,960
if they leave before count day we don't

1615
01:09:16,859 --> 01:09:22,080
get those dollars for a second semester

1616
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:24,060
creates a real problem financially if we

1617
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,679
have a huge shift between semesters and

1618
01:09:24,060 --> 01:09:27,359
our count days because obviously we

1619
01:09:25,679 --> 01:09:29,699
don't employ staff for half a year we

1620
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:31,500
employ them for a whole year and so if

1621
01:09:29,699 --> 01:09:33,480
class sizes drop substantially we

1622
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:35,640
receive less funding we've got to pay

1623
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:37,140
the same number of teachers it's not one

1624
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,319
of the state's better ideas but that's

1625
01:09:37,140 --> 01:09:42,060
my personal opinion okay that means

1626
01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:44,580
strategically if we don't matter to the

1627
01:09:42,060 --> 01:09:49,160
family whether they live in February or

1628
01:09:44,580 --> 01:09:53,100
in March they better leave in March

1629
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:55,380
that was the idea I think people need to

1630
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:58,560
know in this community

1631
01:09:55,380 --> 01:10:01,219
join us before October 2nd stay with us

1632
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,219
and yes

1633
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:08,040
because I have a lot of friends who come

1634
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:10,080
and go because of those sabbatical

1635
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:12,900
leaves and there have been cases where

1636
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:16,699
students have come to us one day before

1637
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:19,380
and left us one day before and it

1638
01:10:16,699 --> 01:10:21,239
nothing else counts except those two

1639
01:10:19,380 --> 01:10:22,739
days yeah

1640
01:10:21,239 --> 01:10:24,239
um and just to clarify a comment that

1641
01:10:22,739 --> 01:10:26,280
you made as as I understand at

1642
01:10:24,239 --> 01:10:29,820
approximately 66 students did not opt

1643
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:31,620
into the PSAT and

1644
01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:33,239
um and they are able to opt in later

1645
01:10:31,620 --> 01:10:35,520
that was in the information shared with

1646
01:10:33,239 --> 01:10:38,699
the board so if they don't initially opt

1647
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:40,620
in they can opt in at a later date but I

1648
01:10:38,699 --> 01:10:43,440
saw eighth grade or apparent to the

1649
01:10:40,620 --> 01:10:46,260
email I got a saying last week or

1650
01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:49,380
something was a guideline so I didn't

1651
01:10:46,260 --> 01:10:51,300
and yeah I haven't got a second email

1652
01:10:49,380 --> 01:10:54,239
saying oh there's another chance for you

1653
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:56,580
to update I I did my my daughter but at

1654
01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:58,860
that time I saw oh what if parents

1655
01:10:56,580 --> 01:11:00,300
missed this email and they will miss the

1656
01:10:58,860 --> 01:11:03,060
opportunity because the Dial line is

1657
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:05,940
pretty short before between they receive

1658
01:11:03,060 --> 01:11:08,159
the email and the deadline

1659
01:11:05,940 --> 01:11:10,679
I know Dr Greiner will get further

1660
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:12,420
information about that I think the

1661
01:11:10,679 --> 01:11:15,239
takeaway here is our enrollments down

1662
01:11:12,420 --> 01:11:16,620
and that's going to affect the amount of

1663
01:11:15,239 --> 01:11:18,960
income that we get from the state of

1664
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:22,520
Indiana do you have a round figure in

1665
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:25,920
terms of the impact of the decrease

1666
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:27,420
if it's if it's 43 I think it's going to

1667
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:32,520
be over a quarter of a million dollars

1668
01:11:27,420 --> 01:11:32,520
it's 20 if it's 21 it's like 126.

1669
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:40,500
so that is paid half per semester half

1670
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:44,460
second semester beta based upon

1671
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:48,560
um student count so if we're down 43

1672
01:11:44,460 --> 01:11:48,560
students take 43 students times

1673
01:11:52,679 --> 01:11:56,159
any other questions or comments for Dr

1674
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:59,640
Greiner before we move on to committee

1675
01:11:56,159 --> 01:12:00,960
reports Mr Wong Dr Greiner a second

1676
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,600
floor update the class science

1677
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:06,360
information so from my what I understand

1678
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:09,060
you seems this year we got a better

1679
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,560
class size for across pretty much across

1680
01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:13,260
all grade huh

1681
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:15,420
it's about what it typically is yes yeah

1682
01:12:13,260 --> 01:12:17,159
would you mind to share that uh the

1683
01:12:15,420 --> 01:12:19,820
class size so I can compare reach the

1684
01:12:17,159 --> 01:12:19,820
last years

1685
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:34,500
in the document

1686
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,360
the one all the information I just now

1687
01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:40,280
gave you yeah you just read the in the

1688
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:43,199
class size average uh the K uh classes

1689
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,520
21 or something

1690
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:46,920
okay

1691
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,960
you got it are you asking if the

1692
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,239
information I just now read to you is

1693
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:53,760
available yeah he's can you share it at

1694
01:12:51,239 --> 01:12:55,920
uh wheat sauce so I can compare with

1695
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:58,380
that yes I will check it looks like we

1696
01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:01,080
have a lower number comparison last year

1697
01:12:58,380 --> 01:13:03,239
huh okay I I will if we don't have that

1698
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:05,219
already in there I will I will add it

1699
01:13:03,239 --> 01:13:09,320
and if it's in there I will tell you

1700
01:13:05,219 --> 01:13:09,320
okay okay you're welcome yeah

1701
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:17,460
trying not to make this all long-winded

1702
01:13:14,940 --> 01:13:19,620
and lots of information just to get just

1703
01:13:17,460 --> 01:13:22,560
our savings Grace this year is that our

1704
01:13:19,620 --> 01:13:25,920
funding per student last year was 6535

1705
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:27,360
per student this year will be 6905. so

1706
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,760
we had a pretty good increase from the

1707
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:31,560
state we are downstreet and so so we're

1708
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,600
not going to get as much new money as we

1709
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,760
could have gotten because the student

1710
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,800
count has gone down but they did do a

1711
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,719
fairly substantial increase now the

1712
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:43,199
second year we're only supposed to get

1713
01:13:39,719 --> 01:13:44,400
about an extra 90 per student so you

1714
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:47,580
know if the same thing were to happen

1715
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:50,540
next year might not see an increase like

1716
01:13:47,580 --> 01:13:50,540
we would this year okay

1717
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:01,320
yeah regarding that uh calendar uh when

1718
01:13:59,219 --> 01:14:04,800
we will be meeting to decide the

1719
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:06,420

01:17:00,300 --> 01:17:03,780
okay the first thing they did at the

1793
01:17:02,340 --> 01:17:06,300
Redevelopment Commission in West

1794
01:17:03,780 --> 01:17:08,460
Lafayette is had me run the meeting

1795
01:17:06,300 --> 01:17:12,480
because Larry Oates was on a mountain

1796
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:15,960
somewhere so if you want to see a Me In

1797
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:19,560
Action you can look at that on tape

1798
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:21,659
you have to go to sleep or or just bored

1799
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:24,780
out of your mind all right so the thing

1800
01:17:21,659 --> 01:17:28,560
is they missed there was a submission

1801
01:17:24,780 --> 01:17:30,719
for our Pre-K study that's being done

1802
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,219
and it was received on time but it

1803
01:17:30,719 --> 01:17:35,340
wasn't on time for the meeting before

1804
01:17:32,219 --> 01:17:37,260
last so Aaron brought it in and they

1805
01:17:35,340 --> 01:17:40,860
ratified the approval there was only one

1806
01:17:37,260 --> 01:17:43,739
vendor that submitted a proposal which

1807
01:17:40,860 --> 01:17:46,380
is under review I believe but uh that

1808
01:17:43,739 --> 01:17:48,060
that's that's what we got out of uh I

1809
01:17:46,380 --> 01:17:52,380
don't know they probably sent it a dozen

1810
01:17:48,060 --> 01:17:55,260
different places so uh also we had some

1811
01:17:52,380 --> 01:17:58,140
claims that we paid we paid 58 000 claim

1812
01:17:55,260 --> 01:18:00,540
that was ratified to Metronet we paid

1813
01:17:58,140 --> 01:18:02,219
another million six uh most of that was

1814
01:18:00,540 --> 01:18:04,380
a reimbursement to Purdue Research

1815
01:18:02,219 --> 01:18:07,620
Foundation of a million dollars

1816
01:18:04,380 --> 01:18:11,460
uh there was a complete review of the

1817
01:18:07,620 --> 01:18:13,980
prf Tif reimbursement so

1818
01:18:11,460 --> 01:18:15,719
most of us know what's going on in West

1819
01:18:13,980 --> 01:18:19,560
Lafayette but if you look at State

1820
01:18:15,719 --> 01:18:23,280
Street from 231 clear down to the Wabash

1821
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:24,960
River we had a massive uh in Street

1822
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:29,280
Improvement project and we're talking

1823
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:31,560
about utilities uh resurfacing we're

1824
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:33,360
talking about putting Utilities in the

1825
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,159
research park or otherwise known as

1826
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,600
Discovery Park so if you look on the

1827
01:18:35,159 --> 01:18:37,800
south side of State Street you'll get

1828
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,500
all those neat buildings that have gone

1829
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:43,500
up from aspire to convergence to

1830
01:18:40,500 --> 01:18:45,120
Continuum all this construction was made

1831
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:47,280
possible from the infrastructure

1832
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:50,699
investment that was made it's a total

1833
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:52,380
investment of 123 million dollars prf is

1834
01:18:50,699 --> 01:18:53,960
on the hook for half of it we're on the

1835
01:18:52,380 --> 01:18:56,699
hook for half of it the good news is

1836
01:18:53,960 --> 01:19:00,000
Purdue Research Foundation has created

1837
01:18:56,699 --> 01:19:01,980
taxable Enterprise in that land so those

1838
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,960
businesses that are located in that

1839
01:19:01,980 --> 01:19:06,960
section are actually paying property

1840
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:09,000
taxes that are going back into the 231

1841
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,800
Tiff District which is used to service

1842
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:13,679
those bonds so if you want to see a

1843
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:15,060
synergistic relationship between Purdue

1844
01:19:13,679 --> 01:19:17,699
University and city of West Lafayette

1845
01:19:15,060 --> 01:19:19,080
that is a live example of how that can

1846
01:19:17,699 --> 01:19:21,300
work and they're not done yet there's

1847
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:24,600
more coming but there was a complete

1848
01:19:21,300 --> 01:19:26,040
review at the meeting it was good to

1849
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,199
catch up on it so far I think we've

1850
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,219
invested almost 40 million dollars in

1851
01:19:28,199 --> 01:19:31,199
the project

1852
01:19:29,219 --> 01:19:34,080
following that they improved body worn

1853
01:19:31,199 --> 01:19:36,239
cameras for law enforcement total of 79

1854
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:39,300
thousand dollars those cameras go on

1855
01:19:36,239 --> 01:19:42,239
their uniforms they go in their cars uh

1856
01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:44,880
RDC paid for that uh there were a couple

1857
01:19:42,239 --> 01:19:47,699
of supplemental agreements uh thrown in

1858
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,380
that we voted on we asked for quotes to

1859
01:19:47,699 --> 01:19:51,420
enclose some of the buildings for the

1860
01:19:49,380 --> 01:19:53,159
street department and last but not least

1861
01:19:51,420 --> 01:19:54,679
we did a sign change for Parks and

1862
01:19:53,159 --> 01:20:00,120
Recreation for all

1863
01:19:54,679 --> 01:20:02,900
1363 dollars so a lot going on at RDC

1864
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,900
that's it

1865
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,620
negative okay yeah they will not wear

1866
01:20:09,719 --> 01:20:11,820
those

1867
01:20:10,620 --> 01:20:12,780
um any update on the Grant Street

1868
01:20:11,820 --> 01:20:15,780
project

1869
01:20:12,780 --> 01:20:18,860
oh well other than it's not done

1870
01:20:15,780 --> 01:20:21,000
um I look like a liar or someone that

1871
01:20:18,860 --> 01:20:22,440
exaggerates I thought that was supposed

1872
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,659
to be done by the time school started

1873
01:20:22,440 --> 01:20:27,300
and I've just given you the information

1874
01:20:24,659 --> 01:20:29,400
that they're giving me and I buy except

1875
01:20:27,300 --> 01:20:31,980
optically it's not even close to being

1876
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,780
done so I don't know what you're hearing

1877
01:20:31,980 --> 01:20:34,920
Sean I've told them that I told them but

1878
01:20:33,780 --> 01:20:36,420
I asked him to meet with you on a

1879
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:39,000
regular and ongoing basis so we know

1880
01:20:36,420 --> 01:20:43,219
when traffic flows are going to resume

1881
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:45,840
anything no except I we were told

1882
01:20:43,219 --> 01:20:47,580
mid-september and Mr Schreiner said all

1883
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,260
along that it would be well past October

1884
01:20:47,580 --> 01:20:50,820
so he's probably going to be the wise

1885
01:20:49,260 --> 01:20:52,920
man here to

1886
01:20:50,820 --> 01:20:56,000
to be the closest looks like

1887
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,000
Thanksgiving doesn't it

1888
01:20:57,900 --> 01:21:02,000
yeah I hope I'm wrong I would agree with

1889
01:21:00,300 --> 01:21:06,780
that all right

1890
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:09,780
moving on to uh Finance internal Mr Wong

1891
01:21:06,780 --> 01:21:13,860
yeah I think two things lines to attend

1892
01:21:09,780 --> 01:21:16,920
the isba seven or about uh Collective uh

1893
01:21:13,860 --> 01:21:19,679
bargaining last month and that is worth

1894
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:23,820
very good trainings especially for me as

1895
01:21:19,679 --> 01:21:26,280
new ball members so so far I I I count

1896
01:21:23,820 --> 01:21:29,840
uh totally I already got about 50 hours

1897
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:35,340
trainings seminars some online some um

1898
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:37,500
some on-site from isba and hopefully uh

1899
01:21:35,340 --> 01:21:39,540
I can still while we're at least those

1900
01:21:37,500 --> 01:21:41,219
trainings I can still our school and the

1901
01:21:39,540 --> 01:21:43,260
community better

1902
01:21:41,219 --> 01:21:46,800
another is in worse information is our

1903
01:21:43,260 --> 01:21:50,699
school corporations Colorado cost and

1904
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:52,980
the mileage so I truly appreciate that

1905
01:21:50,699 --> 01:21:55,739
and regarding our school's upcoming

1906
01:21:52,980 --> 01:21:58,739
collectible bargaining efforts I attend

1907
01:21:55,739 --> 01:22:01,320
the meetings and uh with our school

1908
01:21:58,739 --> 01:22:04,020
admin teams and I believe our school

1909
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:08,100
admin team headed down there to

1910
01:22:04,020 --> 01:22:12,060
diligence very well and with a good face

1911
01:22:08,100 --> 01:22:15,060
so I I would expect a smooth and very

1912
01:22:12,060 --> 01:22:17,219
productive collective bargaining seasons

1913
01:22:15,060 --> 01:22:18,679
for this year thank you

1914
01:22:17,219 --> 01:22:22,320
thank you

1915
01:22:18,679 --> 01:22:24,420
internal systems Mrs Mumford the public

1916
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:26,460
schools Foundation cupcake run is the

1917
01:22:24,420 --> 01:22:28,020

and they're also looking for volunteers

1919
01:22:28,020 --> 01:22:33,120

1921

20th

1922
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:39,600
and I'm also on the Safety Committee

1923
01:22:36,659 --> 01:22:41,820
which um Dr Yen had reported met last

1924
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,980
month when I was out of town but I did

1925
01:22:41,820 --> 01:22:46,380
wonder if the Safety Committee had

1926
01:22:43,980 --> 01:22:49,080
reviewed the safety plan during the

1927
01:22:46,380 --> 01:22:51,780
meeting and if that plan is shared

1928
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:53,880
publicly

1929
01:22:51,780 --> 01:22:55,860
I believe it's posted on the website we

1930
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:58,440
will look and see and if not we can oh

1931
01:22:55,860 --> 01:23:00,540
no it's not because it's a no I can

1932
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:03,480
answer that we wouldn't post them

1933
01:23:00,540 --> 01:23:05,820
because they are safety plans and so you

1934
01:23:03,480 --> 01:23:08,659
would not post those were they reviewed

1935
01:23:05,820 --> 01:23:10,380
at the safety meeting

1936
01:23:08,659 --> 01:23:12,659
Mr

1937
01:23:10,380 --> 01:23:15,000
Ulrich reported out on anything that we

1938
01:23:12,659 --> 01:23:16,620
were going to update

1939
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,280
and then how

1940
01:23:16,620 --> 01:23:19,280
is there a way we can

1941
01:23:20,940 --> 01:23:26,159
so I would suppose we could have a an

1942
01:23:23,940 --> 01:23:28,560
executive session and review and talk

1943
01:23:26,159 --> 01:23:31,620
about those okay you can't just read it

1944
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:33,239
I didn't know uh it could become a

1945
01:23:31,620 --> 01:23:35,159
I think we have to be careful because

1946
01:23:33,239 --> 01:23:37,140
you want to be careful what you post

1947
01:23:35,159 --> 01:23:40,080
because it is a school safety yeah yeah

1948
01:23:37,140 --> 01:23:42,239
so if it goes on box it

1949
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:43,679
board members aren't allowed to see it I

1950
01:23:42,239 --> 01:23:45,179
wouldn't say they're not let me talk

1951
01:23:43,679 --> 01:23:46,739
with our attorney and find out how we

1952
01:23:45,179 --> 01:23:48,120
could share and have dialogue how does

1953
01:23:46,739 --> 01:23:49,560
that would be helpful it feels like

1954
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,780
there's legislation that has to be done

1955
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,940
by January a lot of it so I'd love to

1956
01:23:51,780 --> 01:23:56,219
see a little bit more of it okay

1957
01:23:53,940 --> 01:23:58,440
just as back up to that question we did

1958
01:23:56,219 --> 01:24:00,360
take all of the pending legislation to

1959
01:23:58,440 --> 01:24:02,219
our legal counsel and ask them what

1960
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,920
needed to be handled in a timely manner

1961
01:24:02,219 --> 01:24:07,800
prior so we've already gotten that

1962
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:09,060
feedback and we are just because of some

1963
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,320
different things happening in our school

1964
01:24:09,060 --> 01:24:11,940
corporation through the end of the year

1965
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:15,120
we're only doing what is absolutely

1966
01:24:11,940 --> 01:24:17,760
necessary to do prior to our December

1967
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,739
meeting and so you'll notice that we'll

1968
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:22,440
see policy and updates and changes

1969
01:24:19,739 --> 01:24:25,140
happening in our November and December

1970
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:27,239
meetings potentially only those things

1971
01:24:25,140 --> 01:24:29,699
that legally are required to be in place

1972
01:24:27,239 --> 01:24:31,380
in January we're not doing anything in

1973
01:24:29,699 --> 01:24:33,420
September or in October

1974
01:24:31,380 --> 01:24:34,800
so in November and December we'll be

1975
01:24:33,420 --> 01:24:36,840
talking about like because I know safety

1976
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,520
plan is a big one the library is a big

1977
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,679
one so all that's going to be shared

1978
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,940
with us in November and December we are

1979
01:24:40,679 --> 01:24:47,219
intentionally only doing the necessary

1980
01:24:43,940 --> 01:24:48,719
uh policy revisions prior to November

1981
01:24:47,219 --> 01:24:50,760
that the things we absolutely have got

1982
01:24:48,719 --> 01:24:53,400
to do prior to November so all of those

1983
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:56,520
are actually complete and everything

1984
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:58,739
that has that can be done after November

1985
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:01,560
meeting will be done after the November

1986
01:24:58,739 --> 01:25:03,420
meeting or after the the first week in

1987
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,460
November libraries one of them that will

1988
01:25:03,420 --> 01:25:06,900
be sooner okay I was gonna say I thought

1989
01:25:05,460 --> 01:25:08,520
we had some buildings with that we're

1990
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:10,920
only yeah we're all we are being very

1991
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:13,440
cautious about the timing of when all of

1992
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,880
these conversations happen uh and

1993
01:25:13,440 --> 01:25:17,580
anything that can be delayed is being

1994
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:19,260
delayed and Mrs Billingsley is that

1995
01:25:17,580 --> 01:25:21,540
that's the library safety one is one of

1996
01:25:19,260 --> 01:25:23,460
them not Library the library

1997
01:25:21,540 --> 01:25:25,380
um policy yes is one of them that will

1998
01:25:23,460 --> 01:25:27,060
come that's misses with it earlier yeah

1999
01:25:25,380 --> 01:25:28,920
yeah why are we being cautious with

2000
01:25:27,060 --> 01:25:30,659
policies

2001
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:33,060
um because we are taking the advice of

2002
01:25:30,659 --> 01:25:35,100
our consultant our PR consultants and we

2003
01:25:33,060 --> 01:25:37,620
are doing necessary business prior to

2004
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:38,699
November

2005
01:25:37,620 --> 01:25:41,280
so

2006
01:25:38,699 --> 01:25:43,920
uh if it's not necessary you're not

2007
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:46,320
going to see it on our agenda okay

2008
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,580
at their Council

2009
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,320
um

2010
01:25:47,580 --> 01:25:51,719
and

2011
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:54,900
I can tell you historically speaking

2012
01:25:51,719 --> 01:25:59,540
with regards to safety we have as a

2013
01:25:54,900 --> 01:26:03,239
board received content about safety

2014
01:25:59,540 --> 01:26:05,460
mechanisms things that required purchase

2015
01:26:03,239 --> 01:26:07,139
in the past we have received those but

2016
01:26:05,460 --> 01:26:08,639
those are not disclosed publicly in any

2017
01:26:07,139 --> 01:26:11,219
way so board members were given

2018
01:26:08,639 --> 01:26:13,080
information about certain components of

2019
01:26:11,219 --> 01:26:15,540
the safety safety system that involved

2020
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:18,480
the expenditure of contracts above that

2021
01:26:15,540 --> 01:26:20,699
limit so there have been a few purchases

2022
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:22,920
over my time on the board for example

2023
01:26:20,699 --> 01:26:24,360
where we the board needed to weigh in on

2024
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:26,400
that but those were handled extremely

2025
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,380
confidentially in a public meeting but

2026
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,760
without detail in a public meeting so

2027
01:26:28,380 --> 01:26:31,860
like at the safety committee meeting

2028
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:33,840
they did not hand out the safety plan

2029
01:26:31,860 --> 01:26:35,520
they did not review the safety plan they

2030
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,500
just shed

2031
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:39,120
these are the updates is that am I

2032
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:40,679
understanding correctly that's correct

2033
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,840
but I think that we we had an

2034
01:26:40,679 --> 01:26:45,840
opportunity to look at those hard copies

2035
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:47,699
during the meeting yeah yeah so they

2036
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,440
were there and then we just discussed

2037
01:26:47,699 --> 01:26:51,120
what kind of updates perfect thank you

2038
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:53,520

2039
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:56,400

2040
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:59,940
legislative policy Mrs Austin

2041
01:26:56,400 --> 01:27:03,239

2043
01:27:03,239 --> 01:27:08,880
have any questions but I enjoyed

2044
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:10,620
everyone else's the isba legislative

2045
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,600
committee continued to refine the

2046
01:27:10,620 --> 01:27:16,380
legislative priorities and agenda for

2047

attending the VIP reception and dinner

the night before as a result of my

2052

service on that committee which is a

2053
01:27:26,639 --> 01:27:31,440
great networking opportunity that I feel

2054
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:33,300
