AS PART OF TODAY'S PRESENTATIONS WE WILL PROVIDE THEM INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY REGARDING TO INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS AND POTENTIAL SAFETY MEASURES AND DISTRICT TO CONSIDER FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION OF. AT THIS TIME IT'S A INFORMATIONAL ITEM TO BRING FURTHER AWARENESS AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THESE POTENTIAL SAFETY MEASURES THE CABINET WILL BE MEETING IN JULY TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL SAFETY MEASURES.

ON THE BOARD'S GUIDANCE AND DETERMINE PRIORITIES. THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE FROM INNER QUEST DETECTION CANINES. INNER QUEST DETECTION CANINE PROVIDE CONTRABAND DETERRENCE AND PREVENTION AND REQUEST PROVIDED DISTRICT WITH A PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRICT TO CONSIDER FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION AT THIS TIME I WILL TURN IT OVER TO SCOTT EDMONDS PRESIDENT INTRODUCTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE BACKGROUND AND TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE

BOARD. >> THEY HAVE A VIDEO WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU. THEY ARE AN AWESOME TEAM.

[00:07:28]

>> GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.MY NAME IS SCOTT THE INTERQUEST CANINES.

THIS IS CAESAR AND THE CANINE PARTNER. THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT OUR DOGS DO AND HOW THEY BEHAVED.E ONLY USE NON-AGGRESSIVE HUNTING GREAT DOGS LIKE YOU'VE SEEN AND THE LABRADOR AND GO TO RETRIEVERS AND GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER'S R PROGRAM IS NOT A BUS PROGRAM IT IS SET UP AND DESIGNED TO BE A DETERRENT AND THAT'S THE KEY TO OUR PROGRAM IS WE WANT IT TO BE A DETERRENT PROGRAM AND NOT A BUST PROGRAM. OBVIOUSLY AND UNFORTUNATELY WE DO GET A LOT OF CANINE ALERTS EACH SCHOOL YEAR BETWEEN 20 503,000. DOWN EVEN TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND MOST DISTRICT USE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND WE FIND METHAMPHETAMINES AND THINGS IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AS WELL. THE IDEA IS IT'S A DETERRENT THAT HELPS THE KIDS MAKE GOOD CHOICES BECAUSE EVERYTHING THEY WILL DO IN THEIR LIFE REVOLVES AROUND MAKING DECISIONS AND MAKING CHOICES THAT CAN CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THEIR LIFE. WHEN WE SHOW UP ON A CAMPUS THE DOG WILL ALWAYS BE ON A LEASH. WE CHECK IN AT THE OFFICE AT EIGHT ADMINISTRATOR WILL ACCOMPANY THE DOG EVERYWHERE WE GO. SEARCHES ARE RANDOM AND UNANNOUNCED SO WHEN THE CANINE SHOWS DEMONSTRATOR WILL TAKE THE DOG OR K-9 TEAM THROUGHOUT THE E SCHOOL AND WHATEVER THEY DECIDE TO GO. ANYTHING WE FIND IS TURNED OVER TO THE SCHOOL TO HANDLE IN-HOUSE. WE DON'T REVIEW, INTERROGATE OR DETAIN WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STUDENT THEMSELVES WE IDENTIFY WHERE THE ALERT IS BLACK BACKPACK OR THE CAR OR WHATEVER IT IS. AND THE SCHOOL HANDLES IT FROM HERE. WE DO HUNDRED 71 SCHOOLS NOW IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA. WE'VE NEVER HAD A DOG BITE THE STUDENT.

A COUPLE PRINCIPLES BUT NEVER A STUDENT. WE DO MANY OF THE DISTRICTS AROUND. ABC UNIFIED AND ARTESIA HIGH SCHOOL AND ALTHOUGH SCHOOLS AS WELL. OUR HANDLERS ARE TRAINED AND ALL THE DOGS ARE TRAINED IN HOUSE BY US AND WE ARE CERTIFIED BY THE CALIFORNIA NARCOTIC CANINE ASSOCIATION WHICH IS THE SAME INDEPENDENT GROUP THAT CERTIFIES ALMOST ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CANINES IN CALIFORNIA. RIGHT NOW I WILL HAVE CAESAR TAKE REPO AND SHOW YOU.

I HAVE A HIDE IN A BACKPACK RIGHT HERE. CLOSE YOUR TYPICAL VISIT TAKES

[00:10:04]

SHE IS REWARDED. SHE GETS REWARDED WITH THE TOYS LIKE YOU SAW IN THE VIDEOS.

INSIDE ARE SOME EDIBLES. I WILL BE HONEST I PUT THIS HERE THIS MORNING SO IT SAT FOR A WHILE AND THERE WOULD BE SOME ODOR. IT IS PRETTY TYPICAL OF A STUDENT PUTTING SOMETHING IN THEIR BACKPACK BEFORE THEY LEAVE FOR SCHOOL AND THREE HOURS LATER THE CANINE SHOWS UP. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH AND THAT'S BRAND-NEW AND SEALED. WE GOT IT AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS OFF A KID A GRAD NIGHT.

WE WANT TO THANK HIM FOR THAT. WE DO THE GRAD BASH AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS WE HAVE DOGS AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FOR GRAD NIGHT AS YOU SAW IT DOESN'T DISRUPT, IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE DOG HAD ALERTED. IT TAKES BOUT 2 TO 3 MINUTES TO DO YOUR AVERAGE 25 Ã30 STUDENT CLASSROOM AND THE DOG GOES UP AND DOWN EACH OF THE AISLES. IF THEY GET AN ALERT AND IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES IT WHETHER THE KIDS REMAINED IN THE CLASSROOM OR OUTSIDE, THE STUDENT IS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE LOCATION WHERE THE HANDLER WILL RUN DOWN THE LIST OF ODORS TO THE STUDENT THAT THE DOG IS TRAINED TO DETECT AND ASK THE STUDENT CAN YOU THINK OF A REASON WHY MY DOG ALERTED TO YOUR BACKPACK? AT THAT POINT WE ARE DONE AND THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION WOULD TAKE OVER AND CONDUCT THE INSPECTION OF THE BACKPACK OR WHATEVER IT IS AND HANDLE DISCIPLINE. ANY QUESTIONS?

[MUSIC] >> BOARD MEMBER ARMSTRONG ANY QUESTIONS?

>> HAVE YOU CANVASSED ANY OF OUR CAMPUSES? >> NO WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO ANY OF YOUR SCHOOLS. BOOKS I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE I'M LOOKING THE TIMELINE YOU OU SAID. HE SAID THE SEARCH WILL LAST UP 2 TO AND HALF HOURS.

I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE OUR CAMPUSES ARE DIFFERENT SIZES.

HOW WOULD WE REALLY USE THEM? >> BASED ON YOUR QUESTION I THINK YOU'RE THINKING THEY WILL GO THROUGH EVERY CLASSROOM THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS NORMALLY THEY POP UP IN THE SCHOOL. WHEN I WAS A CLOVIS WEST WE HAD INTERQUEST THERE WE WOULD BE IN A CABINET MEETING. WHO IS GOING TO WORK WITH THE ADMINISTERED TO GO TO WHEREVER? SOMETIMES WE SAY FOCUS ON THE LOCKER ROOM TODAY OR FOCUS ON THE PARKING LOT TODAY.

OR SPEND 30 MINUTES. IT IS NOT THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING BUT THE MAIN THING IS WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW A DOG IS HERE AND IT WILL COME RANDOMLY AND THAT'S THE PREVENTION PART. SO NO ONE RISKS ANYTHING. THE ONLY TIMES WE'VE GONE THROUGH EVERYTHING WAS WHAT IT IS GRAD NIGHT OR THERE'S A FUNCTION AND WE WANT TO CHECK EVERY STUDENT. A REGULAR SITE VISIT WILL BE TIME SPECIFIC AND WHEN WE WANT

IT. >> WHAT MOST SCHOOLS DO IS THEY WILL SAY WE WILL DO ODD-NUMBERED CLASSROOMS TODAY OR EVEN NUMBER OR SECOND-STORY AND FOUR-STORY.

WHEN I SAY TWO HOURS OR 2 AND A HALF HOURS THAT IS YOUR MAXIMUM TIME.

YOU DON'T NEED TO USE ALL THE TIME IF WE FINISH IN ONE HOUR ONE OF YOUR SCHOOLS WE WILL GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL WITHIN YOUR DISTRICT. IT IS VERY FLEXIBLE.

AND HOW IT WORKS. YOU WANT FROM US HE SAID THE IDEA IS ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS WITH CELL PHONES AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES, THE MINUTE WE ARE ON CAMPUS CANINE GETS TEXT TO EVERY KID ON SCHOOL. MAYBE WE DON'T GET AS MANY KIDS WITH DRUGS THAT'S ECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO THE BATHROOM AND FLUSHING AND THROWING IT ON THE ROOF.HEY ARE GETTING RID OF IT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. WE DON'T WANT TO BUST KIDS BUT WE WANT TO GET THE DOPE OFF THE CAMPUSES. THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR

[00:15:01]

>> MS. ARMSTRONG IF I CAN ADD ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS TODAY WILL BE THE BOARD POLICY.

SHOULD WE CONSIDER IMPLEMENTING THE SAFETY MEASURE IN THE FUTURE IT WOULD BE REQUIRED THE UPDATE OF THE BOARD POLICY AND THAT WILL ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING OUR ADMINISTRATION TOGETHER ALONG WITH MR. EDMONDS IN PREPARATION FOR USE OF THE SAFETY MEASURE UNDER INSURANCE WE HAVE CONSISTENCY IN OUR PRACTICES IF THEY VISIT AT BELLFLOWER THE SEARCH WILL LOOK THE SAME IN REGARDS TO MAYFAIR WE WANT THE CONSISTENCY AND MAKING SURE AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. HAVING DEPLOYED THIS IN ANOTHER DISTRICT WE MADE SURE WE WERE CONSISTENT AND MAKING SURE WE WORK TOGETHER AND MR. EDMONDS WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING SURE WE HAVE A CONSISTENT PRACTICE THAT WAS ALIGNED TO OUR BOARD POLICY THAT'S FURTHER BACKGROUND FOR THE BOARDS AWARENESS.

>> DO THEY EVER GO TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS? >> YES WE DO BUT WE CALL THEM INSPECTIONS WE DO FOR RED RIBBON WEEK DEMONSTRATIONS SO THE KIDS GET TO PET THE DOGS AND SEE THAT THE DOGS ARE FRIENDLY WE WILL HIDE SOMETHING AND WE LET THE FIFTH-GRADER HOLD THE DOGS LEASH AND FIND SOMETHING AND THEY GET TO REWARD THE DOG AND PLAY WITH

THE DOG. >> ONE LAST QUESTION.

DEPENDING WHERE THIS S GOES, WILL WE BE ABLE TO CALL THEM AND SAY WE ARE HAVING A HIGH INCIDENT OF FINDING CONTRABAND. WOULD YOU CALL THEM? EVEN IF THEY MAY COME RANDOMLY.

>> IN THAT CASE MRS. ARMSTRONG YES THEY ARE RANDOM VISITS BUT IN WORKING WITH THEM IN THE PAST IF THERE IS A NEED FOR A VISIT MR. EDMONDS AND HIS TEAM IS VERY RESPONSIVE TO DISTRICTS

AND SUPPORTS US IN THOSE SCENARIOS. >> WE WILL HAVE A DOG AT ONE OF YOUR SCHOOLS WITHIN AN HOUR. MAYBE YOU HAD A THREAT OF A GUN ON CAMPUS OR SOMETHING.

YOU CAN CALL AND WE WILL HAVE THE TEAM WITHIN THE HOUR. >> IN THOSE SCENARIOS WE WILL

LOOK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY. >> AN HOUR IS A LONG TIME.

>> YES BUT IF YOU HAD SOME TYPE OF THREAT OBVIOUSLY CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRST A LOT OF TIMES THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL HAVE US COME OUT AND WALK DOWN THE SIDEWALK UPFRONT SO PARENTS SEE IT AND KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO. WE HAVE A RESPONSE TIME OF

ABOUT AN HOUR. >> I WILL LEAVE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MY COLLEAGUES.

>> THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER AMIE STEWART MIND IS A PIGGYBACK OFF THE QUESTION IS TWICE A MONTH NORMAL OR DO OTHER DISTRICTS USE IT MORE OFTEN?

I'M SURPRISED IT IS NOT MORE I'M GOING TO BE HONEST. >> VARIES DISTRICT TO DISTRICT.

WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE ONCE A WEEK. MOST COMMON IS 2 TO 3.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. >> BOARD MEMBER BRAD CRIHFIELD?

>> HOW SUCCESSFUL HAVE THE CANINES BEEN AT DETECTING GUNPOWDER OR HAVE YOU HAD THE

EXPERIENCE OF FINDING WEAPONS AS WELL? >> VERY GOOD.

WE DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE MISSING BECAUSE WE MISS SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF FAILURE RATE I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY. WE PROBABLY GET STATISTICS FOR 2023 SCHOOL YEAR I'M NOT DONE WITH THAT BUT 2022 I BELIEVE WE HAD 16 GUNPOWDER ALERTS. IF I RECALL.

REMEMBER IT IS NOT JUST FIREARMS BUT OF OUR WORK OR ANYTHING THAT HAS ANY THREE

TYPES OF GUNPOWDER. >> YOU MENTIONED THE CANINE AND HANDLERS ARE TRAINED IN HOUSE THEY ARE TRAINED IN CONFLICT ESCALATION? DO YOU COME ACROSS THAT OFTEN?

>> IN SCHOOLS NOT A LOT BUT ONE OF OUR CLIENTS IS THE LA COUNTY JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT AND CUSTODIAL FACILITIES IN THE CUSTODIAL FACILITIES OCCASIONALLY AND WE HAVE TO DE-ESCALATE. WITH THE SCHOOL YOUR COMPANY BY DPO, DEPUTY PROBATION OFFICER.

SOMETIMES TICKETS CAN BE BELLIGERENT SO YES LOOKS GREAT THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU BOARD MEMBER BRAD CRIHFIELD. IN THE INFORMATIONAL PAGE IT SAYS YOU'VE GOT 20 ES FOR BUFFALO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL FOR 85.

COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE? AM I READING THIS CORRECTLY?

[00:20:01]

BECAUSE AT THE TOP YOU PLACE 185 PER VISIT. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> THE 20 SEARCHES COMES FROM EXACTLY WHERE? >> WHAT HAPPENS IS THE DISTRICT PURCHASES A CERTAIN NUMBER OF VISITS LET'S SAY 20 VISITS. PER SCHOOL YEAR.

YOU ARE BILLED AT THE END OF EACH MONTH FOR VISITS THAT ARE USED YOU CAN SAY MAKE A CONTRACT FOR 100 BUT IF YOU ONLY USE 70 YOU ARE GETTING INVOICED FOR THOSE 70 AT THE END OF THE MONTH IF WE COME TO BOTH OUR UNIFIED FIVE TIMES YOU GET FOR FIVE VISITS.

IT DOES FLUCTUATE. AT CHRISTMAS TIME FOR YOUR WINTER BREAK YOU MIGHT SAY WE WANT . AND FOR SPRING BREAK YOU MAY ANT.

MA IT IS A PRETTY BIG BIG MONTH. TH.

APRIL AT AROUND 420 THE WEED SMOKING HOLIDAY. THEY MAY ADD FOR THAT.

IT IS A GUIDELINE. >> MS. GARZA TO PROVIDE MORE AWARENESS.

INQUIRING FOR SERVICES WE LOOKED AT THE IDEA UP TO VISITS PER MONTH PER SCHOOL.

FOR EXAMPLE BELLFLOWER WOULD GET 20 SEARCHES FOR THE YEAR. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS STARTING AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE DATA SUGGESTED I BELIEVE I REFER TO THE DATA, 50 PERCENT OF OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTED THIS COULD BEYOND THAT 21 PERCENT ALSO SUPPORTED JUST FOR THE ARY.

WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 71 PERCENT OF OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE SUPPORTING THIS MEASURE.HE WAS ALSO RATED AMONG PARENTS AND STUDENTS AS THE NUMBER ONE RANK TO BE ABLE TO USE THE SAFETY MEASURE. ESSENTIALLY WE WANT TO PROVIDE AWARENESS TO OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD WE MOVE FORWARD IN THIS DIRECTION AND THERE WILL BE TRAINING IN PREPARATION FOR BOTH DEMONSTRATION AND COMMUNITY A STUDENT AWARENESS PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION.

>> PERFECT THANK YOU. >> WE DON'T CHARGE YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUATION SCHOOL.

THAT IS PART OF IT. THAT'S COOL WE DON'T CHARGE FOR.

ASK MORE OF GOING FORWARD WITH THIS TYPE I THINK THAT'S TANT IT IS USED AS A DETERRENT FOR STUDENTS AND WE ARE NOT TRYING TO BUST T ADDITIONAL AL STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR POLICIES WHEN IT COMES. WE SEE IT OFTEN.

MAKING SURE WE ARE ALIGNED AND WE DO THAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD ON ANYTHING ELSE.

>> THUS WE HAVE THE MULTIPLE VISITS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DON'T KNOW WHEN THE DOGS COMING. IF WE CAME ONCE A MONTH IN THE THIRD MONTH THEY FIGURED UT IF WE SHOW UP ON THE FIFTH OF THE MONTH THEY SAY THE DOG IS S DONE WE CAN BRING IT UP TO SCHOOL. IF YOU ARE COMING TWICE OR THREE TIMES A MONTH AND MIXING IT UP AND DOING A BACK TO BACK. HIT THEM TUESDAY AND COME BACK WEDNESDAY. TO KEEP THE STUDENTS OFF GUARD. THEY FIGURE OUT IT IS NOT WORTH IT AND YOUR STATS WILL GO UP INITIALLY BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO GET STUDENTS UNTIL THEY

FIGURE OUT THE DOG WORKS. >> TO YOUR POINT ALSO MR. BRAD CRIHFIELD WE ARE LOOKING AT PREVENTION WORK AT OUR SCHOOLS AND COUNSELORS AND ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO INTERVENTIONS SHOULD WE FIND STUDENTS WHO DO HAVE DRUGS IN THEIR POSITIONS. WE WANT TO EDUCATE AND PROVIDE INTERVENTIONS AND COUNSELING AND SUPPORT STUDENTS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THIS ON THE CAMPUS AND NUMBER TWO WE NEED TO HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE BUT GET THEM RESOURCES AND MAKE THEM NOT REENGAGE IN THESE TYPES OF

BEHAVIORS IN THE FUTURE. >> MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE SAY THE ONLY USE 10 AND WE HAVE 20 TWO WE HAVE A CREDIT AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR? LOOKS YOU WILL NOT HAVE PAID FOR THEM. YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO PAY AT THE END OF EACH MONTH.

IN SEPTEMBER YOU USE FIVE YOU GET BILLED FOR THE BUT LET'S SAY Y OCTOBER FOR SOME REASON YOU USE THREE. AT THE END OF OCTOBER YOU WILL BE BILLED FOR LL BE BILLED FOR THREE. THE NUMBER ON THE SERVICE AGREEMENT IS MORE OF A GUIDE FOR US THEN OU. SO WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT ADDING ANOTHER TEAM.

WE ARE GETTING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF VISITS EACH IS ASSIGNED 23 CLIENTS.

IF WE ART TTING THE SEARCH ARE GETTING WE KNOW TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER DOG ENTERING ANOTHER DOG BECAUSE IT TAKES 6 TO 8 WEEKS TO TRAIN A DOG. TO GET IT READY FOR A SCHOOL

SEARCH. >> THANK YOU. MY NEXT QUESTION IS THE

[00:25:02]

PRINCIPALS OR WILL IT BE FROM YOUR COMPANY? >> IF I CAN HELP WITH THAT ONE OF THE ITEMS AS THE BOARD POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS PROVIDES A STRUCTURE IN WHICH WE CONDUCT SEARCHES THAT IS ONE LAYER AND WE WOULD WORK WITH MR. EDMONDS AND THEIR TEAM TO ENSURE WE ARE ADHERING TO OUR POLICY. ALONG WITH THE GUIDELINES WE SHOULD FOLLOW. ALSO WE CONSULT WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CONDUCTING SEARCHES IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER AND BOARD POLICY SPEAKS TO THE SCOPE IN WHICH WE WILL CONDUCT A SEARCH OF A STUDENT. NEXT THANK YOU.

WHAT ABOUT THE ROLLOUT OF THIS PROGRAM THE BOARD DECIDES TO GO FORWARD WITH IT? OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND COMMUNITY, HOW ARE WE DECIDING TO LET THEM KNOW THIS IS GOING

TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE ADDING ON? >> IN MY PAST HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEPLOY IT IS THROUGH A COMMUNITY AWARENESS FOR A COMMUNICATION PARENT BLACKBOARD SHARING THE BOARD HAS TAKEN ACTION AND PARTNERED WITH A VENDOR TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT.

THE COMMUNITY AWARENESS. NUMBER TWO ALSO STUDENT ASSEMBLIES.AKING SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY MEASURE THAT WILL BE DEPLOYED AT OUR SCHOOLS.

AND ONCE WE MAKE SURE THE COMMUTE IS FULLY AWARE WE WOULD BEGIN THE PROCESS DURING THAT TIME TRAIN THE ADMINISTRATIONS BECAUSE THE DEMONSTRATIONS WOULD BE THE ONE CONDUCTING THE SEARCHES WITH THE HANDLERS. IT WOULD NOT BE DONE BY A TEACHER OR ANYONE IN THAT

NATURE. >> JUST TO ADD TO THAT THE EFFECTIVENESS FROM THE IDEA OF THIS BECOMES A WARNING OF PEOPLE AT A TIME VENZA TO HAS TO DO WITH HOW MUCH INFORMATION WE PUT OUT THERE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THEY WILL RESPOND. THE MORE INFORMATION WE HAVE WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND STAFF THE BETTER WE WILL BE BECAUSE WE WANT THAT TO BE A

DETERRENT. >> WE ARE HAPPY TO COME OUT WE DID WITH PASADENA UNIFIED TO PTS A MEETING LIKE WE ARE DOING TONIGHT. SO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO COME AND ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS OR DIFFERENT QUESTIONS OF US. SO EVERYBODY IS ON BOARD.

THE MORE PARENTS THAT BUY INTO IT THE LESS PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS YOU WILL GET AND THAT IS THE GOAL WE WANTED TO RUN SMOOTHLY AND IMPLEMENT IT SMOOTHLY THIS IS MY 23RD YEAR

DOING THIS. IT RUNS REALLY SMOOTHLY. >> THANK YOU.

THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION. OUR STAFF HAS EXPLAINED HOW THEY WILL ROLL IT OUT BUT HOW

WILL YOU RULE IT OUT? >> WE DON'T CHARGE YOU LIKE PTS A ARE ON US IF YOU ARE HAPPY WE KEEP OUR JOB. WE WILL DO ANYTHING YOU GUYS THINK IS BEST TO GET THE WORD OUT. PTS A AS DOCTOR SAID STUDENT ASSEMBLIES WERE WE PUT THE KIDS IN THE GYM AND GO ON THE GYM FLOOR AND TALK TO THE STUDENTS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

DO A HORT IMMIGRATION LIKE WE DID TONIGHT. AND GET THEM TO GET ON BOARD.

>> THANK YOU FOR IT SEEMS LIKE WE WOULD BE VERY MUCH IN COORDINATION WITH YOU.

>> ABSOLUTELY THE DOCTOR AND I HAVE WORKED TOGETHER FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

I KNOW WHAT HE WANTS DONE AND HOW HE WANTS IT DONE. HE SHOOTS ME A TEXT WE NEED TO

DO THIS AND WE GET DONE. >> PERFECT THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

STAFF? QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> I GET WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF THIS POSSIBLE SAFETY MEASURE.

THERE IS NO ACTION THIS EVENING BUT RATHER WE WANT TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY OF POTENTIAL ITEMS THAT MAY COME TO THE FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS FOR

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION. >> SINCE THIS IS A DISCUSSION ITEM IT IS LEANING TOWARD A ACTION. I NEED SOME KIND OF SIGNAL THAT SAYS WE WOULD LIKE THIS DIRECTION AND COME BACK WITH A PROPOSAL.

>> BOARD MEMBERS? DO YOU MIND GIVING YOUR OPINION?

>> AT THIS TIME WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF LOOKING AT VARIOUS MEASURES FOR OUR SAFETY PLAN.

UNTIL I GET A FEEL OF EVERYTHING COMING OUR WAY I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO JUST HOLD

[00:30:03]

TO SEE WHAT ELSE COULD. >> WE GAVE YOU A HECK OF A DEAL.

>> THANK . >> THE MAIN THING TO THE CONTEXT WE HAVE ONE BOARDING BEING LEFT IN JULY. IN AUGUST TARTS. A PART OF THIS WAS TO TRY TO ASSESS COMPANIES ON THE SURVEY AND OBVIOUSLY WE WILL IMPLEMENT A LOT OF SAFETY ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND PROCESSES AND TRAININGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOME OF THOSE WILL REQUIRE CONTRACTS. FOR EXAMPLE THIS BEING ONE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR ANOTHER PRESENTATION. ALL THOSE ARE IN PREPARATION FOR THE FALL.

IF YOU SAY DOCTOR WE LIKE THIS CONCEPT MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE I WILL BRING IT TO THE JULY MEETING AND TO SEE IF ANYONE IS INTERESTING WHAT IS THE TIMELINE IMPORTANT? WE START THE PROCESS OF PLANNING FOR ASSEMBLIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR AUGUST TO START. IF WE STAY IDLE FOR A WHILE WE MIGHT NOT IMPLEMENT THIS FOR A WHILE. KEEP IN CONTEXT OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE.

>> I AM NOT TRYING TO STAY IDLE BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT ELSE YOU ARE GOING TO PRESENT.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT IF I MAY? >> HOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE SAFETY MEASURE THE ENTIRE BOARD IS COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING AND BEING DECISIVE I LOVE EVERYTHING I HEARD TONIGHT. FROM THIS POINT ON IT IS IMPORTANT WITH HEARING FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND GETTING THE INPUT.

I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT IT BUT AGAIN THERE MIGHT BE DUPLICATION.

THERE IS A NUMBER ITEMS WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT AND IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD TO HAVE THE INFORMATION BEFORE WE GIVE THE WINK WINK AND NOD NOD. I HEAR YOU.

IT IS URGENT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING READY FOR THE FALL SO I HEAR YOU

WILL. >> BOARD MEMBER STUART? > I'M GIVING THE WINK NOD NOD.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY HAS SPOKEN 71 PERCENT OF OUR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY HAS SAID THEY WANT US. I THINK IT IS A INEXPENSIVE WAY TO START TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE I THINK IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. THANK YOU.

>> I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. ON THE LEVEL OF LEAST INVASIVE TO MOST INVASIVE WHERE DOES THIS FALL? ON A SCALE OF LEAST INVASIVE TO MOST INVASIVE ACTIONS THAT THE

BOARD CAN TAKE FOR SAFETY. >> I WOULD SAY ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 AND COMPARING ALL THE DIFFERENT ONES I WOULD SAY THIS IS AROUND 4 TO 5 BUT I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE DOGS AND I KNOW HOW FRIENDLY THEY ARE AND I'M NOT A DOG PERSON THEY DON'T BOTHER ME.

I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHER PARENTS MAY FEEL ABOUT THIS. IT IS SAFE TO USE ALL THE FILMS AND IT IS NOT INTRUSIVE INTRUSIVE COMES IF WE DETECT SOMETHING HOW WE REACT.

THAT GOES BACK TO MR. CRISFIELD'S COMMENTS ABOUT HOW WE RESPOND.

IF WE ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF CONTACT, POSITIVE CONTACT WE MIGHT HAVE TO ADJUST HOW WE DEAL WITH DRUGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. GUNPOWDER IS GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT THING I DON'T THINK ANYONE WILL ARGUE WITH THAT BUT HOW DO WE DO WITH THE NORMAL MARIJUANA AND ALL THAT. PERHAPS EVEN, I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE DISCUSSING.

TO ME THAT IS WHERE IT CAN GET STICKY. WE HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE CONCEPT ANYWAY. GIVEN WHERE THINGS ARE WITH DRUGS IN THE COUNTY AND THE STATE. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE DEAL WITH DRUGS AND THIS WILL ELEVATE THAT. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT

POLICY. >> IF I CAN ALSO ADD WE'VE BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TRYING TO BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND STAFF AND COUNSELORS AND SCHOOL SITES HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY AROUND OUR DRUG PREVENTION SUPPORTS AT SCHOOL SITES.

[00:35:05]

PREVENTION MEASURES FOR OUR STUDENTS. >> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION MAYRA GARZA, I SUGGESTED THIS FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE I WANTED IT.

SITTING HERE AS SUPERINTENDENT I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS CARING WHAT ON WHAT CAMPUS.

THERE'S NOTHING TELLING US ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT A REPORT FROM STUDENTS.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OF DOING THAT. THE SITUATIONS WE HAD AT BELLFLOWER I KEEP REFLECTING BACK. IF THOSE STUDENTS DID NOT REPORT ANYTHING BACK WE HAVE NO OTHER MECHANISM OF RECOGNIZING THINGS.

MORE IMPORTANTLY WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT DETERRENT PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS.

IF IT IS REPORTING. I'M SAYING HOW POWERLESS WE ARE AND THIS GIVES US SOMETHING TO HANG OUR HAT ON SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MORE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT WITHOUT EATING FOR SOMEBODY TO REPORT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE SEEING SOMETHING. THIS WILL GIVE US CONSISTENCY IN THE MORE WE EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF GETTING CAUGHT, IN MY EXPERIENCE GENTLEMEN HERE ZACHARY RIGHT AFTER THIRD. AND THAT'S OKAY.

THE STUFF IS IN THE TRASH. >> WE AGREE. DISRUPTIONS ON CAMPUS.

WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF TEACHING. HOW DO WE KEEP THOSE TO A

MINIMUM?>> IT TAKES 2 AND A HALF TO 3 MINUTES TO DO THE ADVERTISE CLASSROOM AS YOU SAW WITH THE DOG THAT ALERTED HERE AND IN THE VIDEOS THEY DON'T BARK AND SCRATCH.

IF YOU ARE NOT LOOKING YOU DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T INTERACT WITH THE STUDENTS AT ALL. UNLESS YOU ASK US LIKE AT LUNCHTIME CAN WALK AROUND AND LET THE KIDS PET THE DOG. NOT TO INSPECT THEM OR SEARCH THEM SO THEY CAN BE FAMILIAR WITH THE DOG OR ASK QUESTIONS. BECAUSE WE USE LABRADOR RETRIEVERS AND GOLDEN RETRIEVERS MANY HAVE THESE TYPES OF DOGS AT HOME AND THEY SAY I'VE GOT A DOG JUST LIKE THAT. COULD YOU TEACH MY DOG TO DO THAT? WE DON'T WANT TO BE ADVERSARIAL AT ALL. WE DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THE LEARNING PROCESS AT ALL. BILLY WHERE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE IS NOT THE DOGS BUT AS YOU GUYS WERE SAYING WHAT YOU DO AFTER. LIKE YOU DESCRIBED HAVING A COUNSELING PROGRAM IN GETTING THIS KIDS HELP. RARELY NOW OR ANY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS CALLING LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY ARE HANDLING IT IN-HOUSE WITH COUNSELING AND HELPING THE KIDS MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. OTHER CHOICES NEXT TIME. YOU DON'T NEED TO GET SLAMMED BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT A JOINT TO SCHOOL OR HAD EDIBLES MAYBE WE CAN GET YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH

SO YOU MAKE BETTER CHOICES NEXT TIME. >> THANK YOU.

BOARD MEMBER TUART? >> NO I WAS GOING TO ADD PRESIDENT GARZA THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IN DISTRICTS I HAVE TALKED TO THAT USE THESE DOGS REALLY LIKE IT.

THAT'S ANOTHER REASON I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. >> IN MY OPINION I LOVE THAT PROGRAM ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT INTRUSIVE AND THE KIDS WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE.

I'M ALL FOR IT. >> ONE MORE QUESTION. JUST TO BE CLEAR WHEN YOU WALK

OUR CAMPUSES DO YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF MACE OR SPRAY? >> THAT'S WHAT HE WEARS.

THEY WERE NOTHING NO HANDCUFFS AND NO MACE. HE WEARS A BELT TO HOLD HIS

PANTS UP. >> FLASHLIGHT? >> SOMETIMES WE LOOK UNDER

SEATS AND CARS AND THINGS. >> THAT'S PERFECT. >> OUR JOB IS NOT ENFORCEMENT.

>> I WANTED TO KNOW. LIKE I SAID THE COST FROM WHAT I'M SAYING I THINK IS VERY FORDABLE EVEN N IF WE WANT TO EVEN DOUBLE THIS. I STILL WOULD WANT TO SEE A COST ANALYSIS TO SEE HOW WE ARE GOING TO AFFORD THIS CONTINUOUSLY.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO ADDRESS EVERY NEED WE HAVE. AT THE DISTRICT.

[00:40:04]

>> IT IS CHEAP BECAUSE OF DOCTOR AVALON I'VE WORKED WITH HIM PREVIOUSLY AND EVERYTHING.

>> YOU DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN OKAY. >> TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THERE WILL BE OTHER MEETINGS WE HAVE WHEN WE BRING SOME OF THESE ITEMS THAT WILL COST MONEY. FOR EXAMPLE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SROS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO COST MONEY.

SOME ARE GOING TO QUESTION WHERE DO YOU FIND THE MONEY AT THE LAST MINUTE WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET AND DECISIONS WE HAVE TO MAKE IN THE FUTURE. AS I MENTIONED PRIOR TO WHEN WE SETTLED WITH THE UNIT WE TALKED ABOUT AS WE LOOK FORWARD IDENTIFYING THINGS WE WILL DISCONTINUE TO DO. RIGHT NOW WE ARE DEFICIT SPENDING BUT IN MY MIND UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE MOVES WE CAN MAKE MOVING FORWARD.

IT BECOMES IMPORTANT ENOUGH OR SOMETHING ELSE? WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I THINK INTERQUEST COME THIS COMPANY WILL NOT BREAK THE BANK ON THIS ONE. SOME OTHER MEASURES MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY I BRING THIS UP TOWARD YOU IS I'M GOING TO ASK FOR A CHOICE. WE WILL MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT REDUCING OUR EXPENDITURES WITH STABILIZATION PLAN WE WILL GIVE YOU GUYS.

ALL THE MONTH IN JULY IS LOOKING AT THE FINANCES IN PREPARATION FOR WHATEVER DECISION WE MAKE IN THE FALL AND EVENTUALLY THE SPRING TO AFFORD WHAT WE CAN AFFORD.

AS WE PLAN FINANCIALLY THIS IS IN KEEPING WITH THE THINGS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT.

>> THANK YOU DOCTOR PERIOD THANK YOU STAFF. >> ONE MORE COMMENT BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF URGENCY AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

I KNOW YOU'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES DOCTOR ONE THING I FEEL COMFORTABLE IS COMING BACK TO THE BOARD BUT WITH THINGS IN MIND OF OUR DRUG POLICY AND MAKING SURE YOU MENTIONED THERE'S AN INITIAL OPTIC IN KIDS GETTING BUSTED AND THAT SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT. IN TANDEM WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN AT THE

SAME TIME BEFORE WE EXECUTE THIS. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR. EDMONDS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US.

[7. PRESENTATIONS FROM STUDENTS / STAFF / COMMUNITY ( Part 2 of 2 )]

>> YES THANK YOU MRS. GARZA. NEXT IS THE LOCAL PRESENTATION. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MRS.

CARTER. >> COMING TO THE PODIUM WILL BE OUR DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC ACCOUNTABILITY DOCTOR REYES PRESENTING THE LOCAL INDICATORS TODAY.

[01:00:16]

>> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT GARZA AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ANNUALLY AS PART OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD THE LOCAL INDICATORS ARE PRESENTED IN PREPARATION FOR REPORTING ON THE 2023 CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD. WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN THE FALL.

TONIGHT I WILL BE SHARING SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON OUR LOCAL INDICATORS THAT WILL BE POSTED IN THE FALL DASHBOARD RELEASE. THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD AS PART OF CALIFORNIA'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. CALIFORNIA REQUIRES MONITORING AND REPORTING OF STATE AND LOCAL INDICATORS THAT MEASURE HOW DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS. PERFORMANCE ON STATE MEASURES ARE COLLECTED AND REPORTED ON THE DASHBOARD BY THE STATE AND LOCAL INDICATORS ARE COLLECTED AND REPORTED TO THE DASHBOARD BY DISTRICTS. THE DASHBOARD SERVES AS THE REQUIRED ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURE BUT ALSO AS A REFLECTION TOOL FOR THE DISTRICT.

INFORMATION ON THE DASHBOARD PROVIDES AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP FOR POSITIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS. IT HELPS US TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS NEEDED TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND HELPS US TO ENSURE EQUITY BY HIGHLIGHTING ANY DISPARITIES THAT MAY EXIST. THIS LIFE IS A OVERVIEW OF THE STATE AND LOCAL INDICATORS INCLUDE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LOCAL INDICATORS I WILL REPORT ON TONIGHT ARE BASIC SERVICES, IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS, PARENT ENGAGEMENT AND SCHOOL CLIMATE. THE DASHBOARD HAS TAKEN A FEW YEARS TO RETURN TO ITS INTENDED PURPOSE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. THIS YEAR ON THE 2022 DASHBOARD STATE INDICATORS WERE REPORTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS. BECAUSE OF THIS GAP THE 22 DASHBOARD ONLY REPORTED STATUS. NORMALLY THE STATE LOOKS AT TWO YEARS OF DATA AND COMPARES THE CURRENT DATA WITH THE PREVIOUS YEAR TO DOCUMENT CHANGE. POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

THE AMOUNT OF CHANGE IS ASSIGNED A COLOR RED OR ORANGE FOR A DECREASE, YELLOW FOR MAINTAINING AND GREEN AND BLUE FOR INCREASES. AS THE STATE DID NOT HAVE PREVIOUS YEAR SCORES THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPORT CHANGE THEREFORE FOR ONE YEAR ONLY THE DASHBOARD DID NOT USE COLORS BUT CELL PHONE BARS TO INDICATE PERFORMANCE LEVELS WITH A SINGLE COLOR PURPLE TO INDICATE STATUS ONLY. WE WERE USED TO THE DIFFERENT COLORS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT REPORTED STATUS AND CHANGE. THEY WERE NOT PRESENT THIS YEAR BUT WILL RETURN FOR THE 2023 DASHBOARD AS WE WILL BE ABLE TO NARROW REPORTS AND STATUS CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. HERE IS THE PLAN FOR THE DASHBOARD PROVIDED BY THE STATE LAST YEAR. YOU CAN SEE ALL INDICATORS WERE STATUS ONLY IN 2022.

EXCEPT FOR THE COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATOR. THIS IS BECAUSE THE STATE WAS REVISING THE INDICATOR TO MAKE IT MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND INCLUDE WORK EXPERIENCE, INTERNSHIPS AND CIVICS EDUCATION. FOR THE UNDER INDICATORS WE WILL HAVE STATUS AND CHANGE THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TWO YEARS OF DATA AND LOOKING TO THE FUTURE THE 2024 DASHBOARD WILL BE THE FIRST COMPLETE DASHBOARD SINCE THE PANDEMIC. DATA COLLECTED AS PART OF THE LOCAL INDICATOR PROCESS PROVIDES US WITH A RICH SOURCE OF TIMELY INFORMATION THAT CAN BE USED ALONG WITH STATE DATA TO DEVELOP A MODIFIED GOALS AND ACTIONS WITHIN THE OUTCOME THAT SEEK TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AT USD THIS IS A VISUAL OF HOW DATA FROM MONITORING METRICS AND GATHERING INPUT FROM EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS HELPS TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FEEDBACK FROM OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS VIA THE LDAP SURVEY AND MEETINGS PROVIDED ADDITIONAL DATA AT LOCAL INDICATORS WILL BE REPORTED TO THE DASHBOARD.

OUR STATE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM INCLUDES A PRIORITY AREAS REQUIRED IN THE LCAP AND THE SCENE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS TABLE. THE NEXT TWO COLUMNS IDENTIFY WHICH PRIORITIES ARE MONITORED AT THE STATE IN WHICH OUR LOCAL INDICATORS THAT ARE MONITORED BY THE DISTRICT. THE CRITERIA FOR MEETING THE LOCAL INDICATORS AS OUTLINED BY

[01:05:06]

EXEMPLARY IS 99 TO 100 PERCENT IN GOOD IS 90 TO 98 PERCENT. OUR FIRST LCAP MEASURED THE PERCENT OF SCHOOLS IN GOOD REPAIR AS NO SCHOOLS WERE IN EXEMPLARY AT THE BEGINNING.

WE INCREASED OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR SCHOOL REPAIR AND IN THE FOLLOWING LCAP YOU CAN SEE WE ARE NOW MEASURING THE PERCENT OF SCHOOLS IN EXEMPLARY REPAIR AS WELL.

NONE OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN POOR OR FAIR CONDITION. PRIORITY NUMBER TWO MEASURES THE PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE STATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS TO MEASURE LIMITATION WE MONITOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES OR PLCS AT OUR SITES. OUR TEACHERS MEET AS GRADE LEVELS AND DEPARTMENTS IN PLCS TO COLLABORATE ON TEACHING THE STANDARDS. DURING THESE MEETINGS TEACHERS ADDRESS THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS STUDENTS NEED IN ORDER TO THE STANDARDS BEING TAUGHT AND HOW THEY WILL BE ASSESSED AND WHAT TO DO IF STUDENTS ARE NOT MEETING THE STANDARD OR ALREADY KNOW THE STANDARD. TEACHERS ALSO REFLECT ON THE PROCESS AFTER A STANDARD HAS BEEN COVERED. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION THAT ENSURES WE ARE EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENTING STATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS.

FOR THIS INDICATOR WE MONITOR TEACHERS RESPONSES TO THE LCAP SURVEY AND OUTCOME OF THE SITE PLC IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY. ON THE LCAP SURVEY 57 PERCENT OF TEACHERS AND STAFF STRONGLY AGREE AND AGREE THAT THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM IS FOCUSED ENOUGH THAT IT CAN BE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED IN THE TIME AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS. THIS IS AN INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR AND AN AREA THAT IS CONTINUING TO BE ADDRESSED DURING PLC TIME WHERE TEACHERS WORK TOGETHER TO NOT MERELY GO PAGE BY PAGE THROUGH INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BUT TAKE THE TIME TO IDENTIFY ESSENTIAL STANDARDS AS STUDENTS MUST MEET TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL. AN PACE OF INSTRUCTION AS A TEAM TO ENSURE STUDENTS MEET THE STANDARDS. WE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS MORE WORK TO BE DONE IN THIS AREA AS THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE SITE PLC IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY SHOWS 42 PERCENT OF SITES REPORT THERE ARE DEVELOPING IN THE INDICATORS WHICH INCLUDE CLARIFYING WHAT STUDENTS MUST LEARN COME TURNING DATA INTO INFORMATION, MONITORING LEARNING IN PROVIDING SYSTEMATIC INTERVENTIONS. THERE IS A DROP IN THIS METRIC AS SITES ARE CALIBRATING THE EXPECTATION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN EACH OF THESE CATEGORIES. TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PLC ARE SITE LEADERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SITE SPECIFIC PLC TRAINING AND ALL THE PRINCIPALS HAVE MET WITH THE MOUSE ON OUR RESEARCH SPECIALISTS TO REVIEW THE PROGRESS TOWARD IMPLEMENTING HIGHLY RELIABLE SYSTEMS AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS WORK IS FOCUSED ON NURTURING AFFECTIVE PLCS. SCHOOLS CAN ALSO REACH OUT FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM OUR CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

LET'S MOVE ON TO PRIORITY THREE. PRIORITY THREE ADDRESSES PARENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. THERE ARE THREE AREAS IN THIS PRIORITY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, NOTING PARTNERSHIPS AND SEEKING INPUT. WE WILL START WITH BUILDING

[01:10:08]

USE OTHER METHODS TO COMMUNICATE BESIDES SOCIAL MEDIA AS NOT EVERYONE USES SOCIAL MEDIA. PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND OPEN ENDED FORMS SUCH AS COFFEE WITH THE PRINCIPAL. SEVERAL PARENTS ALSO EXPRESSED A NEED TO UPDATE THE WEBSITE WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED VIA A SURVEY PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL UPDATING OF THE WEBSITE. SITES TO RECEIVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL SURVEY RESULTS AND COMMENTS SO THEY CAN ENSURE THEY ARE MEETING THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY. OUR SITES ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THEIR PARENT INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 2023 24 SCHOOL YEAR AND THIS INFORMATION ENSURES THAT THEY ARE RESPONDING TO WHAT SOME MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE SHARING.

THE FOLLOWING SLIDES FOR PARITY THREE AND SIX WILL FOLLOW THE SAME FORMAT OF SHARING WITH YOU THE COMMENTS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT DISAGREE. IN THE AREA OF BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS THE DATA SHOWS THAT WE HAVE MAINTAINED A PERCENTAGE OF PARENTS WHO AGREE STRONGLY AGREE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR CHILD'S SUCCESS.

THE TEACHERS MEET WITH FAMILIES TO DISCUSS STUDENT PROGRESS IN THE SCHOOL PROVIDES INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO USE AT HOME. AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMMENTS FOR THESE STATEMENTS REFLECT THE HIGH PERCENTAGES SEEN IN THE PREVIOUS CHURCH AND VERY POSITIVE.

HOWEVER THE REVIEW OF THE COMMENTS OF PARENTS WHO DISAGREED WITH THE STATEMENTS INCLUDED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE MORE REGULAR COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE STUDENTS PROGRESS.

CONSISTENCY BETWEEN TEACHERS RESPONDING TO EMAILS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT STUDENT GROWTH WHEN USING COMPUTERIZED INTERVENTIONS.

AS MENTIONED LAST WEEK A MORE ROBUST DATA REVIEW AND REPORTING PROCESS INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS IS BEING PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR. EXCUSE ME.

WHICH WILL HELP PARENTS PROVIDE PARENTS WITH MORE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR HOW THE SCHOOL IS HELPING STUDENTS IMPROVE AND PRINCIPLES WITH LEADERSHIP TEAMS ARE IDENTIFYING QUARTERLY METRICS THAT WILL BE SHARED WITH THE EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS SO THEY CAN EASILY SEE THE SCHOOLS PROGRESS TOWARD THEIR GOALS. FOR STUDENTS NEEDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR INTERVENTION, WE ARE DEVELOPING A SYSTEM TO BE ROLLED OUT NEXT YEAR USING ARIES STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM TO DOCUMENT SUPPORTS PROVIDED FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR PROGRESS. THE INTERVENTION SCREEN CAN ALSO BE USED TO CREATE INTERVENTION PLANS FOR STUDENTS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WITH THE PARENTS INPUT.

THIS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY EMAIL PARENTS WHEN ANYTHING IS ADDED TO THE PLAN OR PROGRESS IS UPDATED. THE FINAL ONE FOR PARITY THREE IS SEEKING INPUT.

THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE PERCENT OF PARENTS WHO AGREE OR STRONGLY AGREE THAT THE SCHOOL ALLOWS INPUT AND WELCOMES PARENTS CONTRIBUTIONS HAS INCREASED OVERALL.

IN ADDITION TO THE LCAP SURVEY FOR THIS METRIC USED THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY.

THAT IS ADMINISTERED ANNUALLY TO STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY IS ANONYMOUS CONFIDENTIAL SURVEY OF SCHOOL CLIMATE AND SAFETY STUDENT WELLNESS AND YOUTH RESILIENCY. IT IS ADMINISTERED TO STUDENTS IN GRADES FIVE, SEVEN, NINE AND 11 AND A COMPANION TOOL TO THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL STAFF SURVEY

[01:15:04]

THERE IS A NEED TO PROVIDE PARENTS WITH TIMELY INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL AND THE ROLE OF ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND HOW PARTICIPATE. THIS INFORMATION CAN BE DISSEMINATED ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE AT BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT, DURING COFFEE WITH THE PRINCIPAL AS WELL AS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IN TERMS OF SEEKING INPUT OUR WORK WITH MARZANO AT HIGHER LIABILITY SCHOOLS IS CRUCIAL A HIGHER LIABILITY SCHOOL CONSTANTLY SEEKS FEEDBACK ON SCHOOL POLICIES AND HOW THEY ARE WORKING FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND ARENTS.

PRINCIPALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO COLLECT QUICK DATA VIA SURVEYS, MEETINGS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF, PARENTS AND STUDENTS. THE IDEA OF QUICK DATA IN A HIGHER LIABILITY SCHOOL IS SEE IF SOMETHING IS WORKING AND MAKE CHANGES IF NECESSARY BASED ON THE FEEDBACK. OUR HRS EXPERTS WORKED WITH OUR PRINCIPLES ON PROVIDING AND ANALYZING QUICK DATA. PRIORITY SIX LOOKS AT SCHOOL CLIMATE AND ADDRESSES PERCEPTIONS OF SCHOOL SAFETY AND CONNECTEDNESS. THIS PRIORITY IS ALSO MEASURED THROUGH PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS RESPONSES TO THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY.

THE CURRENT RESULTS OF THE SURVEY SHOWED THAT PARENTS REPORT A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF FEELING WELCOME AT THE SCHOOL AND STAFF REPORTS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF WANTING TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THE SCHOOL. STUDENTS FEELING OF CONNECTEDNESS HAS DECREASED AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL AND THAT'S AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR US TO ADDRESS. THE REVIEW OF THE COMMENTS SHOWED THAT SECONDARY STUDENTS SAID THEY FEEL CONNECTED TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THEIR FRIENDS, SUPPORTIVE TEACHERS, CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES. STUDENTS WHO SAID THEY DO NOT FEEL CONNECTED TO SCHOOL CITED THE VERY SAME REASONS. LACK OF FRIENDS, LACK OF ACTIVITIES, NOT LIKING SCHOOL AND NOT FEELING CONNECTED TO STAFF. THE BEST WAY WE CAN IMPROVE CONNECTEDNESS IS BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. WE HAVE HAD WIDESPREAD SEL TRAINING WITH COACH RUDY THIS YEAR FOR COUNSELORS, ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS AND CLASSIFIED STAFF. THE GOAL OF THIS TRAINING IS TO PROVIDE SCHOOL STAFF WITH CLASSROOM STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND ACADEMIC GROWTH OF ALL STUDENTS. THE TENANTS OF THIS TRAINING WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT YEAR.

TO FURTHER SUPPORT CONNECTEDNESS ARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO HAVE TWO COUNSELORS IN THE AMOUNT OF COUNSELORS AT THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE INCREASED TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS ARE WELLNESS CENTERS CONTINUE TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS AN AREA FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE A SAFE SPACE TO VISIT. BOTH BELLFLOWER AND MAYFAIR HAVE A DEAN OF CLIMATE AND CULTURE TO WORK SPECIFICALLY ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND CONNECTEDNESS. PRIORITY SIX ALSO LOOKS AT PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY AT SCHOOL. THE PERCENTAGE OF PARENTS ARE STRONGLY AGREEING OR AGREEING THAT THE SCHOOL IS A SAFE PLACE HAS MAINTAIN. THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL HAS DECREASED AND WE ARE LOOKING DEEPER INTO THE DATA.

THIS MEASURE IS REPORTED FROM SEVEN, NINTH AND 11TH GRADE STUDENTS IN MIDDLE AND HIGH THAT COMPLETED THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY. HOWEVER, THE LCAP SURVEY IS ADMINISTERED TO ALL THE SECONDARY STUDENTS AND INCLUDES AN OPEN RESPONSE AREA FOR STUDENTS TO SHARE THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY SIDES RECEIVED THEIR OWN DATA TO ANALYZE STUDENT RESPONSES WHEN PLANNING FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

A REVIEW OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY FROM THOSE OF THE DISAGREED THAT SCHOOL IS SAFE INCLUDED REASONS SUCH AS NOT FEELING COMFORTABLE TO GO TO THE BATHROOMS. THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHER STUDENTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT WEAPONS ON CAMPUS.

[01:20:07]

FOR EXAMPLE WE CAN SEE FROM THE GRAPH THAT ENGLISH LEARNERS MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 13 PERCENT OF SEVENTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT OF THE 13 PERCENT 25 PERCENT ARE ENROLLED IN CTE AND 26 ARE ENROLLED IN THE FINE ARTS. WE CAN ALSO SEE THE ENROLLMENT IN ADVANCED CLASSES PART OF THE REASON WE MAY SEE LOW ENROLLMENT OR REPRESENTATION AND ADVANCED MATH AND ELA FOR ENGLISH LEARNER AND SEVEN THROUGH 12 IS SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE NEWCOMERS JOINING US AT MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL WITH LIMITED ENGLISH THEY MUST WORK ON DEVELOPING THEIR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY AS WELL AS RIGOROUS HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES.

TO REMOVE THIS BARRIER WE ARE PUTTING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IN PLACE FOR OUR NEWEST ENGLISH LEARNERS AND THEIR AMILIES INCLUDING A MORE ROBUST WELCOME PACKET THAT PROVIDES RESOURCES, ASSISTANCE FROM PEERS WHO SPEAK THE SAME NATIVE LANGUAGE AND SURVIVAL ENGLISH THAT CAN BE USED IMMEDIATELY. E WILL BE SHARING THIS INFORMATION AND INCREASING OUR SIZE CAPACITIES IN IDENTIFYING THE VERY PARTICULAR NEEDS OF NEWCOMERS.

SCHOOL SITES ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO DISTRICT CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS WHO PROVIDE CLASSROOM COACHING AND USING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES AND LANGUAGE SUPPORTS.

OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS ARE CURRENTLY IN FULL IMPLEMENTATION AND CAN INCREASE ACCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS. SUMMER ACADEMY OFFERS LEARNING ACCELERATION AND ELA, ELD AND MATH FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. SUMMER SCHOOL OFFERS ORIGINAL CREDIT AND CREDIT RECOVERY OPTIONS. HE IS WHITE OR EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR PROVIDES CONTINUOUS INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS IN MILD TO AND MODERATE TO SEVERE CLASSES. ANOTHER BARRIER THAT WAS IDENTIFIED WAS THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF CLASSES DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE ADDRESSING THIS PART OF THE VENTING A BLOCK CHEDULE WITH ADDITIONAL ME THAT ALLOWS FOR EL TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTIVE AS WELL AS REQUIRED SCHOOL CLASSES INCLUDING ELD THE NEW SCHEDULE ALSO ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL CREDIT RECOVERY OPTIONS TO HELP SUPPORT WITH MAKING UP COURSES WHICH OPEN STUDENT SCHEDULE FOR OTHER COURSE OPPORTUNITIES. NOW PRIORITY SEVEN.

MEASURING PROGRESS OF STUDENTS HAVING ACCESS TO A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY ALSO INCLUDES A REVIEW OF THE FOYER COHORT GRADUATION RATE INCLUDING TAKING CLASSES THAT ALLOW STUDENTS TO GRADUATE UC OR CSU READY WE SAW AN OVERALL INCREASE FROM 2021 TO 20 2022 OF STUDENTS TING THE UC, CSU REQUIREMENTS. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY YOU WILL NOTICE THAT NO DATA IS REPRESENTED FOR STUDENTS AT FOSTER CARE FOR 21 AND 22 AS THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS WERE TOO LOW TO REPORT DATA WITHOUT COMPROMISING INDIVIDUAL OUTCOMES.

TO HELP SUPPORT INCREASE IN THIS AREA COUNSELORS HAVE BEEN TRAINED DURING THIS YEAR AND THE CALIFORNIA COLLEGES FINANCE INITIATIVE OR SEE CGI WHICH IS THE PLATFORM THAT HELPS

[01:25:08]

COUNSELORS ARE READY TO LAUNCH THIS PLATFORM WHEN WE RETURNED TO HOOL.

WHEN THE DASHBOARD OPENS IN THE FALL THE LOCAL INDICATORS WILL BE UPLOADED AND REPORTED TO THE DASHBOARD AS MET. THE TENTATIVE RELEASE DATE OF THE NEW 2023 DASHBOARD WITH BOTH STATE AND LOCAL INDICATORS IS NOVEMBER 2023. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I'M

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU DOCTOR DEIDRE. BOARD MEMBER ARMSTRONG?

>> THANK YOU. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN WE CAN COMPARE THE GROWTH FOR NEXT YEAR. COMING OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC. MOST OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED. WE JUST GOT THE LOCAL DATA? NOVEMBER WE WILL GET BOTH SO WE

KNOW HOW WE ARE COMPARING TO OTHER SCHOOLS? >> YES THE DASHBOARD IS THE COMPLETE PICTURE. YOU SAW THE EIGHT STATE PRIORITIES THIS IS WHAT WE ARE REPORTING AND WHEN THE DASHBOARD COMES OUT YOU WILL HAVE STATE AND LOCAL.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO REALLY KNOW. THE ONLY THING THAT I WANTED TO KNOW WHEN IT CAME AROUND TO THE SERVICE HOW MANY STUDENTS OR PARENTS TOOK THE SURVEY?

>> THE LCAP SURVEY WE HAD 781 PARENTS. THIS YEAR.

THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY WE HAD 852. I JUST WANT TO MENTION THIS YEAR'S LCAP SURVEY WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE 2016, IT WAS OUR HIGHEST RESPONSE RATE TO GO UP EVERY YEAR BUT THIS WAS THE HIGHEST WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS WE ARE GETTING

MORE RESPONSES EVERY YEAR. >> THAT'S GREAT IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR US TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING TO ENCOURAGE MORE FAMILIES TO PARTICIPATE. AND GIVE HER THAT.

THERE WAS A RE LATER. LET ME GET TO THE BROAD COURSE OF STUDY.

I LOVE LOOKING AT THE HE THE DATA. IT WAS SOMETHING I DID NOT SEE AND MAYBE IT IS TOO DETAILED WHEN IT CAME T CAME AROUND TO THE PERCENTAGE OF THE KIDS WITH IEP'S. IS THERE A MEASURE OR TOOL THAT BREAK THAT DOWN INTO WHETHER THEY ARE WHITE, HISPANIC OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN? LOOKS PARTICULARLY IN SPECIAL EDUCATION? YES. IT IS NOT ON HERE BUT YOU CAN

GET THE DETAILED TION. >> THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE ALSO.

>> OKAY I CAN GET YOU THE INFORMATION. >> I WILL JUST ADD SO YOU FEEL COMFORT REMEMBER THIS IS FINALIZING THE SECOND TO LAST YEAR OF THE CURRENT LCAP.

WE START DEVELOPING THE NEXT LCAP LOCAL INDICATORS AND OTHER DATA WILL BE BROKEN DOWN MORE THAN TWO ETHNICITY AND GENDER. THE COMMUNITY WILL SEE A LOT MORE OF THAT.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO FINISH WHAT WE STARTED OFF WITH AND FINALIZE THIS AND MOVE TO THE

NEXT. >> PERFECT THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION.

I NOTICED WE DID THE ODD GRADES SEVEN, NINE AND 11 ARE WE EVER GOING TO DO THE EVEN GRADES?

>> FOR THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY THAT'S THE SURVEY WE USED FROM THE STATE.

THEY ARE THE GRADE LEVELS THEY SELECT FOR US. >> THAT DOESN'T CHANGE?

>> IT HASN'T UP UNTIL NOW. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A PLAN TO CHANGE THAT.

>> THAT'S IT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPORT. >> THANK YOU BOARD MEMBER

[01:30:08]

ARMSTRONG. BOARD MEMBER STUART. >> MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> BOARD MEMBER BRAD CRIHFIELD. >> NO QUESTIONS BUT THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION YOU HAVE A LOVELY VOICE FOR THE PRESENTATION IT CARRIES A LONG BOX I HAVE ONE QUESTION. ON PRIORITY SEVEN ACCESS TO BROAD COURSE OF STUDY I'M LOOKING AT IN WHICH LEARNERS. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THESE PERCENTAGES.

NOT JUST WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS COME SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE MET BAND.

I'M WONDERING ABOUT ENGLISH LEARNERS WITHIN THE DUAL IMMERSION PROGRAM.

WE DO HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THOSE PROGRAMS. DO WE HAVE ANY DATA AS TO HOW THEY ARE OING? THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A PROGRAM WHERE THEY BECOME FULLY BILINGUAL WITHIN 6 TO 7 YEARS. BUT NOW THEY ARE GETTING INTO THE EIGHTH AND NINTH GRADE NOW.

ARE WE ABLE TO SEGREGATE THAT DATA TO ARRIVE AT HOW OUR STUDENTS AND THE PROGRAMS ARE

DOING WITH REQUIRING BILITERACY? >> WE ARE ABLE TO BREAK THAT DOWN. WE WILL BE PRESENTING DUAL IMMERSION PRESENTATION IN THE FUTURE AND WE'VE GOT LCAP COURSE FOR STUDENTS BECAUSE WE HAVE ENGLISH LEARNERS IN THE DUAL IMMERSION AS PART OF AS YOU WILL NOTE THE BILITERACY IF YOU'RE AN ENGLISH LEARNER AT THAT POINT YOU ARE TAKING LCAP. WE CAN GET THAT OUT. THE POSITIVE IS ANALYSIS OF THE DUAL IMMERSION PROGRAM SO FAR USING PREVIOUS SCORES, THE DUAL IMMERSION PROGRAM IS DOING

BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL PROGRAM ON LCAP AND WESTPAC. >> THANK YOU THAT MAKES ME

HOPEFUL. >> FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE THE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING HARD WITH TEACHERS DURING THE IMMERSION PROGRAMS AND MRS. CARTER'S OFFICE IS GOING TO BE A STUDY

SESSION ON IMMERSION ONLY WITH IDEAS WE HAVE. >> THAT IS GREAT TO HEAR.

I WILL RESERVE MY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR FOR LATER. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH NO MORE

QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. STAFF ANY QUESTIONS OR

COMMENTS? OUR NEXT PRESENTATION PLEASE. >> YES THE NEXT PRESENTATION IS NASTEC SECURITY. WE DID THE SAFETY SURVEYS AND INCORPORATED THE CONCEPT OF HAVING ARMED SECURITY AND THE EXTERIORS OF OUR SCHOOLS. WE'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING THE SITUATION AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS THAT INCORPORATES THIS.

DOCTOR ABELE WILL TAKE US THROUGH THIS AND INTRODUCE MEMBERS OF NASTEC AND THEY WILL

EXPLAIN. >> TO PROVIDE AWARENESS AGAIN FOR DATA ACCORDING TO OUR DISTRICT SURVEY IS A RECAP WE HAVE 4115 RESPONSES, 2000 COMING FROM PARENTS AND 600 FROM STUDENTS AT 800 FROM STAFF. IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA WE ASKED THEM ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF PROVIDING SECURITY AT OUR SCHOOL SITES TO MONITOR THE PERIMETER WE HAVE 40 PERCENT OF OUR COMMUNITY ENDORSED THE PROTOCOL IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. A PROCESS AS SUPPORT ENDORSED PROTOCOL AND SECONDARY AND 20 PERCENT NEUTRAL. THE DATA SUGGESTS THERE IS OPENNESS TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE SAFETY MEASURE TO THE DISTRICT. FOR TRANSPARENCY WE HAVE 15 PERCENT OF THE RESPONDENTS INDICATED THEY DID NOT SUPPORT THIS BUT THE BROAD MAJORITY OF IT DID SUPPORT THE SAFETY MEASURE. AS PART OF THIS TRYING TO DIG DEEPER AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHO IS USING THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY TO PROVIDE ARMED SECURITY AT THEIR SCHOOLS.

HE WILL TURN IT OVER TO NASDAQ WHO IS A GLOBAL LEADER IN PROVIDING COMPETENCE OF SECURITY SOLUTIONS AND WE HAVE STAFF FROM NASTEC WHO WILL PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH THE PRESENTATION AND BE ABLE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR SAFETY MEASURE

THE DISTRICT IS DOING FURTHER RESEARCH ON. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM PRESIDENT AND DISTINGUISHED BOARD MEMBERS I'M KAREN AND THIS IS MY COLLEAGUE RICK AND WE ARE BOTH VICE PRESIDENTS OF NASTEC. MY VOICE IS NOT NEARLY AS CHARMING AS HERS I HAVE A NEW YORK TWANG SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT IN ADVANCE. I WANT TO BEGIN THIS PRESENTATION WITH CHALLENGING INFORMATION. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS A

[01:35:01]

THAT MEANS THERE ARE MORE MASS SHOOTINGS THAN THERE ARE ACTUAL DAYS SO FAR THIS YEAR.

THAT NUMBER IS OVERWHELMING. WHAT IS EQUALLY OVERWHELMING TO ME AND I KNOW TO ALL OF YOU IS 24 OF THOSE SHOOTINGS HAVE BEEN IN SCHOOLS. THAT IS THREE PER MONTH IN THE SIX MONTHS THAT WE HAVE HAD 2023. THREE PER MONTH.

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

WHAT NASTEC HAS DONE IS DEVELOPED A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR ALL OF OUR SECURITY SOLUTIONS NASTEC HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS. WE ARE NOT A FLY-BY-NIGHT.

WE'VE NOT JUST COME UP BECAUSE WE HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND BE OUR GLOBAL ORGANIZATION WE PARTNER WITH BUSINESSES AND WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WE ARE A WOMAN OWNED COMPANY WE PROVIDE TRUE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE CUSTOMIZED AND THAT REALLY ANSWER THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE ARE AFFORDED AS WE PARTNER WITH OUR CLIENTS.

THE SERVICES WE OFFER OUR SCHOOL SECURITY SERVICES, COMMERCIAL SECURITY SERVICES BOTH ARMED AND UNARMED. INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES, PATROL SERVICES AS WELL AS GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY. WE HAVE DONE PROGRAMS THAT TOOK CARE OF THE POPE AND PROGRAMS THAT GO INTO VARIETY OF COUNTRIES WE HAVE DONE AIRPORT SECURITY.

WE DO A LOT OF THINGS IN THE SCHOOLS. WE WERE CURRENTLY WITH OVER 15 SCHOOLS WE ARE IMMERSED IN A VARIETY OF NEEDS AND ANSWERING THOSE NEEDS.

OF LATE WE ARE RECENTLY AUNCHED A PILOT PROGRAM AND THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS DEALING WITH THE UNHOUSED LATION. BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE AND THEY WANT US TO MANAGE WITH INCREDIBLE TRAINING.

HUMANITY AND COMPASSION. WE ARE THERE TO SUPPORT THE SERVICES THE CITY OFFERS AND HELP GUIDE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE UNFORTUNATELY UNHOUSED IN DEALING WITH SITUATIONS IN PROVIDING SUPPORT AFTER OUR SERVICES ADDITIONALLY WE PARTNER WITH THE CITIES AND OFFER SUPPORT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS DIRECTLY. AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE MANY POLICE AND SHERIFF SHORTAGES THESE DAYS. THE AMOUNT OF NEED IS A FAR GREATER THEN THE RECRUITING AND RETENTION. MANY INCLUDING SHERIFF LOADED IS OUT TALKING ABOUT 40 UNIQUE CALLS THAT HE PUTS FORTH NOW AND IS TRYING TO GET UNARMED SECURITY SUPPORTS SO THE POLICE DON'T HAVE TO GO AND ANSWER THE CALLS.

IT IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE WAY IN WHICH POLICE AND SECURITY WORK IN TANDEM.

IN ORDER TO REALLY ANSWER THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES WHEN THE POLICE CANNOT OR SHOULD NOT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK WE DO AND IT IS SOMETHING WE EVOLVED OVER TIME AND RICK JUMPED IN. I DON'T HAVE TO BE THE ONE TALKING ALL THE TIME. IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHAT WE HAVE EVOLVED OVER TIME IS FINDING THE WAY IN WHICH TO CREATE THE BALANCE COULD IT IS IMPORTANT WE ARE THE BEST AND PRACTICE PHYSICAL RITY OF OUR OFFICERS ARE VERY WELL RAINED TRAINING IS CRITICAL WE WILL SPEAK TO THAT SPECIFICALLY. THEY REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO HANDLE ANY SITUATION THAT ARISES AND HOW TO MANAGE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE DEALING AND VULNERABLE SITUATIONS SO THE

[01:40:05]

RESPONSE WITHIN SECONDS. >> WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BUILD OWNERSHIP WITH THEM SO WE CAN WORK WITH THEM TOGETHER. WE KNOW YOU HAVE SROS AT THE SCHOOL BUT NOT SROS AT EVERY SCHOOL. HOW DO WE INCORPORATE THAT WITH OUR STAFF AND WORK WITH THEM AND PROVIDE INFORMATION THEY NEED? TO THE POINT WHERE SOME AGENCIES PROVIDE US WITH RADIOS SO THEY CAN COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY AND GET FIRST KNOWLEDGE WITH WHAT'S GOING ON AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

THAT'S A BIGGIE OF WHAT WE SEE AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HELPS US AND ENABLES US TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WE PARTNER WITH THEM WE CONSIDER IT A PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM AND THAT'S HOW WE FOCUS SECURITY. IT IS ABOUT PARTNERSHIP WORKING

TOGETHER AND HOW WE BECOME SAFE WHEN THERE'S A SITUATION. >> WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO CONSIDER IT A PARTNERSHIP. THEY CONSIDER IT A PARTNERSHIP. IN THE BEGINNING THE CONCEPT OF UTILIZING PRIVATE SECURITY IN CONJUNCTION AND SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOLS AND POLICE WAS AN ISSUE AT A HURDLE. WE WERE ABLE TO REALLY CRAWL OVER THAT HURDLE AND LEAP OVER THE HURDLE AND NOW WORK HAND-IN-HAND WITH GREAT SUCCESS.

IN FULL ACCEPTANCE. WE LEAN INTO ONE ANOTHER AND THEY KNOW WE ARE THERE TO SUPPORT THEM AND NOT TAKE AWAY ANY JOBS NOT TROUBLED THE UNIONS.

WE HAVE SYSTEMS WE'VE DEPLOYED THAT ARE EFFECTIVE. IT BECOMES A TRULY BEAUTIFUL PARTNERSHIP AND ALLIANCE THAT WORKS IN OUR OPINION VERY WELL. I'M GOING TO THROW THIS TO RICK BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT HOW WE MANAGE OUR TEAMS.

>> THE MAJORITY OF THE SECURITY OFFICERS WE HIRE COME FROM A MILITARY BACKGROUND OR LAW ENFORCEMENT BACKGROUND THAT ENABLES US TO HAVE A TEAM THAT UNDERSTANDS WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SECURITY SITUATION. ON TOP OF THAT WE TRY TO HAVE A DIVERSE TEAM.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STAY LONG-TERM WE HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE WORKED OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE RETIRED FROM OUR COMPANY AS WELL. THAT GOES WITH THE BACKGROUND CHECK WE DO WITH THEM MAKING SURE YOUR HIRING THE RIGHT PERSONNEL FOR THE SCHOOL

DISTRICT WE HAVE. >> WHAT BECOMES REALLY IMPORTANT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS WE ARE NOT THE LEAST EXPENSIVE GAME IN TOWN OR THE RENT A COP TO SEE AT THE MALL.

THE TEAMS WE DEPLOY ARE PROPERLY PAID AND THEY COME FROM THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND THERE ALSO INDIVIDUALS THAT WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT. BECAUSE OF THE BACKGROUNDS AND HISTORY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY. THEY ARE BETTER EQUIPPED AND PREPARED TO TAKE CARE OF THE STUDENTS AND ADMINISTRATION. THE ISSUES WE HAVE ARE WILL CARE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY THE FACT THAT THEY STAY AS LONG AS THEY STAY SPEAKS VERY WELL FOR OUR CLIENTS. THERE IS NOT A RAPID TURNOVER.

WHEN YOU'RE IN A SCHOOL SITUATION AND YOU HAVE PARENTS DROPPING THEIR KIDS OFF OR CHILDREN SEEING THE SAME FACES DAY AFTER DAY THEY GET A SENSE OF SECURITY.

EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO EVERYBODY ELSE IS SO THERE'S A FAMILIARITY THAT IS VERY SUPPORTIVE BOTH IN TERMS OF HOW YOUNG PEOPLE VIEW WHAT WE DO AND WHEN OUR TEAMS UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETHING IS AMISS THERE'S A CAR THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE. IF THERE'S A STUDENT THAT LOOKS A LITTLE OFF THAT DAY. THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE TRAINED FOR THIS WHEN THEY SEE THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AND SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG THEY CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE WELL TRAINED AND AWARE. THAT IS A WONDERFUL ATTRIBUTE OF THE NASTEC TEAM. OUR LEVEL. OUR LEVEL OF TRAINING IS

[01:45:01]

THE TEAMS ARE CONSTANTLY TRAINED. WE HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED THE MILO SYSTEM WHICH SOME OF YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE ON MONDAY. WE ACTUALLY BRING OUT SO ANYBODY CAN BE TRAINED ON IT AND IT'S A SIMULATION. SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HAVE A VARIETY OF SCENARIOS YOU ARE TRAINING ON AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ADDING TO IT.

IT IS A NEWER SYSTEM. THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS A NEWER SYSTEM THAT MANY POLICE FORCES USE AS WELL FOR TRAINING. ADDITIONALLY RICK IS GOING TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY BUT TEAMS GO FOR TRAINING IS OFTEN PAIRED THEY ARE SO WELL-TRAINED BECAUSE THE ABSENCE OF PROPER TRAINING COULD LEAD TO CHALLENGES WE ARE FORTUNATE. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS?

>> THEY HAVE TO CALL A GUARD CARD. WE SEND THEM TO 26 TRAINING WHICH IS STANDARD TRAINING FOR SECURITY OFFICERS THAT WORK AT K-12 SCHOOLS.

THAT'S PART OF TRAINING THEY UNDERGO BEFORE THE ASSIGNED ANY SCHOOL AND TRAINING AS PART OF THAT AS WELL. IT GIVES THEM GUIDANCE OF HOW TO DEAL WITH KIDS AND THE DO'S AND DON'TS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH PARENTS AND SO ON. IT GIVES THEM A GOOD BROAD TRAINING ON WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN THE SCHOOL SETTING. ON TOP OF THAT WE MAKE SURE THEY ARE TRAINED ON CPR AND FIRST AID AND WE DO ACTIVE SHOOTER.

THAT'S THE MAIN FOCUS IS MAKING SURE THEY ARE TRAINING ACTIVE SHOOTER LIKE SHE WAS SAYING MILO SIMULATOR. WE DO THAT AT THE SCHOOLS AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TRAINING IN DEALING WITH SITUATIONS WHERE THEY CAN DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATIONS HOW CAN WE BE OBSERVERS AND REPORT AND DE-ESCALATE THINGS BEFORE THEY GET TO THAT POINT.

WE DO RIGOROUS FIREARMS TRAINING WHERE WE TAKE THEM OUT AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROFICIENT ON THEIR SHOOTING AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE RIGHT FIREARM AND THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR FIREARM WE ARE NOT PUTTING THEM OUT THERE WITH THE REGULAR READING THEY RECEIVED. IT IS EIGHT HOUR COURSE AND WE GO ABOVE THE WE TAKE THEM TO THE SHOOTING RANGE AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE GOING THROUGH SCENARIOS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GETTING EXTRA TRAINING THAT COMPANIES DON'T GET TO THE SECURITY OFFICERS.

>> SUPERVISION AND MANAGEMENT. YOU WILL HAVE A DEDICATED ACCOUNT MANAGER THAT WILL BE HERE OVERSEEING WHAT'S HAPPENING ON YOUR 15 SCHOOLS ALL THE TIME.

WE WILL PERFORM KPIS WHICH ARE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS WHICH WE ACTUALLY GET FROM YOU.

YOU SET THE BAROMETER. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS? ISN'T IT A WONDERFUL THING TO KNOW WHAT CLIENTS EXPECT WE CAN INFORM NOT ONLY TO THEM BUT ABOVE THEM.

WE SUBMIT REPORTS TO THE SUPERVISOR DAILY SO THE TEAM ON THE GROUND WILL DAILY REPORT TO THEIR SUPERVISOR WE CONDUCT MEETINGS TO DISCUSS AND REVIEW THE ACTIVITIES WEEKLY.

THERE WILL BE TEAM MEETINGS AMONGST THE TEAM THAT IS DEPLOYED HERE SO EACH WEEK THERE WILL BE DISCUSSIONS ON WHAT WORKED WELL AND WHAT DIDN'T AND CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE ABOUT SELF-ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT.

WE AS A LEADERSHIP REVIEW THE SECURITY OFFICERS AND ACTIVITY AND CLIENT SATISFACTION EVERY MONTH. WE HAVE DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY ACTIVITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE BEING WELL CARE FOR AND WERE HITTING YOUR KPIS AND EXCEEDING THEM.

WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING WE CHANGE IT. WHEN WE DO GREAT IS SOMETHING WE AWARD OUR TEAMS BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL. DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? EVERYBODY STANDS THERE AND THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO SAY AND SOUND NICE AND ARTICULATE AND COMMUNICATE WELL.

BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS OUR PROMISE TO YOU GOES BEYOND ANYTHING WE'VE SAID HERE.

OUR PROMISE TO COMES FROM WHO WE ARE ORGANIZATIONALLY AND AS HUMAN BEINGS BUT WE GENERALLY CARE DEEPLY ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING AND ABOUT YOU. NOT ONLY AS A CLIENT BUT AS HUMAN BEINGS WHO ENTRUST US TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOST PRECIOUS ENT.

THAT IS YOUR CHILDREN AND THAT IS YOUR STAFF AND THE ADMINISTRATION.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU IS MAKE SURE THAT EACH ONE OF THEM THAT WALK THROUGH THE HALLS OF YOUR SCHOOLS FEEL A LITTLE BIT SAFER AND A LOT MORE SECURE AND FEEL THAT YOU AS A BOARD ARE DOING EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO ENSURE WHEN THEY COME TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO

[01:50:03]

FOR US? >> CAN YOU SPEAK TO, WE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS GOING ON IN THE VICINITY THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A POTENTIAL THREAT, WE'RE LOOKING DOWN THE SCHOOLS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP THE KIDS SAFE.

>> INSIDE. >> YEAH, SO WE'RE ONLY OUTSIDE, RIGHT? WE'RE ONLY DEALING WITH OUR KIDS. WE'RE NOT DEALING WIT THE KIDS. WE'RE ONLY DEALING WITH THE EXTERIOR, AND THAT'S OUR MAIN FOCUS. IN THE EVENT THAT THERE'S AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, WE WILL ENGAGE. WE'LL GO IN THERE, AND WE'LL TRY TO NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT BECAUSE SECONDS COUNT, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT CASUALTIES ARE NOT TOO MANY AT THAT POINT. BUT OUR MAIN FOCUS IS THE EXTERIOR AND SHOWING THE DETERRENT AND SHOWING THE SECURITY MEASURE. AND WHEN PEOPLE SEE US, THEY'LL SEE SECURITY THERE AND HOPEFULL NO ISSUES.

>> WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, IT'S ONLY THE EXTERNAL.

>> PRESIDENT GARZA, I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN HEAR OUR

COLLEAGUES THERE. >> YES, FIRST OF ALL, TRAFFIC WAS TERRIBLE. FIRST WE WERE VER IMPRESSED WITH THE OPERATION UP THERE. ONE THING I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH WAS THE COMMAND CENTER. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY ROW DUST IN FEATURES, SOMETHING THAT I COULD SEE AS DEFINITELY HUGE VALUE. WE KIND OF WALKED THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS. CHAIR CHECK IN SYSTEM. HOW THEY UM, HOW THEY MONITORED MORE THE PERIMETER. THAT'S ONE THING THA STOOD OUT TO ME. THAT IT'S NOT SO MUCH STUDENT FACING, WHICH WAS ONE OF MY, UM, CONCERNS I GUESS. I THINK A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS WAS WE WERE GOING TO BE MORE STUDENT FACING BUT IT'S MORE OUTWARD FACING PROTECTING THE STUDENTS. BUT TH COMMAND CENTER, IT HAD A BIG ROOM WITH ALL THE MONITORS.

THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IF I COULD JUMP INTO THAT TOO. THE, I KNOW IT'S IN THE PRESENTATION PACKET OF THE COMMAND CENTER OPERATOR. WOULD LIKE THE COMMAND CENTER ITSELF, THAT WOULD BE LIKE A SIDE THING THAT YOU WOULD WORK WITH THE DISTRICT IN IMPLEMENTING THAT ASPECT OF WHAT I SAW?

>> YES, BEFORE THE COMMAND CENTER DID NOT EXIST, BUT THAT WAS THE VISION WE HAD AND WHAT WE WANTED TO GO WITH. THAT ENABLED US TO SECURE ALL THE SCHOOLS BY ONE OPERATOR AND HAV MULTIPLE VIEWS AND BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL. THAT'S A BI PLUS.

>> RIGHT. AND ANOTHER THING THA I LEARNED WHEN I WAS THERE IS

[01:55:06]

SAY MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT A GUY THERE, YOU'LL BE RESPONSIVE TO THAT REQUEST IF HE'S AN A-HOLE.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE PHRASE USED WHEN DISCUSSING IT.

HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS, IT'S LIKE A GREAT PAIR OF SHOES. THE COULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE, THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE. FOR US, IT'S REALL IMPORTANT THAT EACH SCHOOL IS ARMED WITH THE RIGHT PERSONNEL.

AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. SO, UM, DR.

BRAGA FROM BEVERLY HIGH SCHOOLS THE SUPERINTENDENT WAS SAYING THAT WHAT WAS SO INTERESTING FO HIM, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEBODY AT A HIGH SCHOOL WHO IS LESS CORDIAL AND JOVIAL THAN IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. BECAUSE YOU WANT THE STUDENTS TO FEEL CERTAIN THINGS. THAT THAT'S OUR CORE OBJECTIVE. SO WHILE WE'RE GROWING A TEAM OUT, WE ENCOURAG YOUR SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING WELL FO YOU. IF THE PARENTS DON'T LIKE SOMETHING OR THE STUDENTS OR YOU'RE INTERACTING IN A WAY, AGAIN, IT'S NOT, OUR GOAL IS TO GET YOU THE BEST FIT SO THAT YOU'RE WALKING IN VERY COMFORTABLE SHOES.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION. I KNOW YO SAID YOU PULL FROM THE COMMUNITIES YOU SERVE, AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT GIVEN I THINK 65% OF OUR STUDEN POPULATION IS HISPANIC AND MANY ARE MULTILINGUAL, DO YOU HAVE A BIG ENOUGH POOL TO PULL FROM TO

HAVE A BILINGUAL? >> YES.

>> AND ALSO I NOTICED YOU HAVE ON A FEW OF THE OPTIONS 20 OFFICERS. HAVE YOU DONE ANY, UM LIKE LAY OF THE LAND AT THE SITES SO YOU KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA SO THAT'S A PRETTY ACCURAT NUMBER OF WHAT YOU WOULD BE RECOMMENDING?

>> YES. YES -- >> IF I CAN ADD TO THAT QUESTION. SO THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT TWO OF OUR YES, TWO OF OUR CAMPUSES. MAYFAIR HIGH SCHOOL AND BELLFAI HIGH SCHOOL. AND THEY CAN CUSTOMIZE WHAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS ARE, SO THEY PROVIDE A PROPOSAL WITH OPTIONS FOR THE DISTRICT TO CONSIDER. ONE OPTIO WOULD BE THE IDEA OF TWO SECURITY OFFICERS AT EACH SCHOOL. WE CAN TAILOR IT BACK T ONE PER SCHOOL. WE CAN DO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

RIGHT NOW, THE IDEA WAS TO PROVIDE THE DISTRICT WITH PROPOSALS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE CAN CONSIDER, AND WE CAN EITHER SCALE UP OR BACK BASED OFF OUR INTERESTS, OUR NEEDS, AND JUST OUR FISCAL ABILITY TO PRIORITIZE DIFFERENT THINGS. WE WANTED TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE AWARENESS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS TO HELP GIVE US SOME DIRECTION ON THIS

AREA. >> HELLO, AND WELCOME, AND THAN YOU FOR COMING OUT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO JOIN THE DISTRICT STAFF TO VISIT AND, UM, I DID LIKE WHAT I SEEN. I REALLY LIKE WHAT I SEEN. I WAS ACTUALLY TOO EXCITED. UM, AND I CAN REMEMBER BRETT ASKING HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND I SAID IF IT'S SAFETY, I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT COSTS. BUT IN REALITY, THE COST IS GOING TO MATTER. WITH THAT, YOU SAW EARLIER WE HAD THE SNIFFING DOGS. DO YOU GUYS PROVIDE THAT SERVICE AT ALL?

>> NOT CURRENTLY, WE DON'T PROVIDE THAT SERVICE.

>> WHICH IS GOOD. REMEMBER, I JUST SAID I WANTED TO SEE THESE THINGS BECAUSE I DIDN'T ASK THAT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY DOGS.

NOW, THE REASON WE CAME HERE IS I'M SURE WE'VE TOLD YOU OF THE INCIDENTS WE'VE HAD WITH GUNS. IT SHOOK A LOT OF US TO THE

[02:00:01]

>> RIGHT. >> UNTIL THE SHERIFFS COME.

WHICH IS A GOOD THING. IT'S A GOOD THING. MY ONLY THING IS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, ON PAPER. I' NOT TRYING TO WORK Y'ALL. WORK YOU ALL TOO MUCH. HAD TO CORREC THE Y'ALL. I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW WE CAN AFFORD THIS WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU, WE'RE GOING TO NEE THIS. AND WITH THE WAY THE WORL IS GOING, WE'RE GOING TO FOREVE NEED THIS. I WISH I DIDN'T BELIEVE WE WILL FOREVER NEED YOU, BUT IF SOMETHING DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH I THIS WORLD, WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOU FOREVER. SO I'D LIKE FOR TH STAFF TO PLEASE SEE HOW WE CAN AFFORD THIS. I WANT IT, BUT WE NEED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN AFFORD.

>> THAT'S A VERY FAIR ASK, AND THINK, KNOWING THIS, WE ALSO KNOW THE COST OF THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM INTERQUEST. SO I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE LIKE A MULTI-YEAR PROJECTION OF WHAT THIS WOULD B AS A PART OF OUR STABILIZATION PLAN. FOR TONIGHT IF YOU'RE SAYING INVESTIGATE THIS, BUT COME BACK WITH A STABILIZATION PLAN, THAT WILL BE THE GAME PLA MOVING FORWARD TO TRY TO SHOWCASE TO YOU GUYS OKAY, IF W DO THIS, THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD MEAN FOR US WITH THE CHANGES WE HAVE TO MAKE. THAT WOULD BE THE GAME PLAN.

>> BECAUSE THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE DECIDING FACTOR BECAUSE YOU KNOW OUR, OUR ENROLLMENT IS DOWN. OUR FUNDS ARE DECREASING.

WE'RE OVERSTAFFED. THERE'S A LO OF STUFF GOING ON. I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL. I DON'T WANT TO BEAT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT

I NEED IT. >> IT'S NOT A HARDSHIP. THIS IS A PART OF CALCULATION. DON'T THINK OF ITAS A HARDSHIP FOR US

>> BOARD MEMBER STEWART? >> I DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOLS I THINK I'D WANT TO SEE MORE DATA ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ON HOW MUCH OF A THREAT THERE IS. HOW OFTEN HAVE GUNS BEEN BROUGHT ON CAMPUS AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE TWO GUARDS PER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I THINK I NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT ASPECT OF IT. BUT I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS FOR OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH

SCHOOLS. >> YEAH, AT THE ELEMENTARIES, THAT MAKES SENSE. LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE TWO PER ONE. YOU COULD DO ONE. THINK, I WOULD EVEN SAY, I'D RATHER THAT THEM IN THE ELEMENTARY MORE THAN THE HIGH SCHOOL MAINLY BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE OPEN TO PEOPLE IN THERE. W HAVE HOMELESS COMING IN THERE. WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN. WHEN GO THERE, WHEN I WALK IN, I'M LIKE GOD, SOMEBODY COULD COME I HERE. WHO'S GOING TO INTERVENE? TO ME, I WOULD EVEN SAY I'D RATHER HAVE IT MORE FOR THE ELEMENTARY THAN THE SECONDARY.

BECAUSE I THINK SECONDARY, UM U KNOW, YOU HAVE ADULTS THERE AND

TEENAGERS AND, YOU KNOW -- >> IF I COULD ADD, I THINK THAT'S MY BIG TAKE AWAY IS THAT IT'S OUTWARD FACING. IT'S NOT S MUCH, YOU KNOW, OTHER MEASURES MAY BE MORE PREVENTIVE FOR GUNS ON CAMPUS AND STUDENTS. BUT THI IS MORE TO PROTECT OUR CAMPUSES FROM ANYBODY OUTSIDE COMING IN AND THE AMOUNT OF SOFT TARGETS AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS PROBABLY JUST AS IF NOT MORE

IMPORTANT FOR THOSE -- >> AND WE'RE THERE WHEN SOMEBOD JUMPS A FENCE. WE'RE THERE, WE SEE IT, WE RESPOND. WHEN

[02:05:01]

PLETHORA OF VULNERABILITIES. >> AND I TOTALLY GET THAT, I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE DATA ON HOW OFTEN THAT HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE A PROBLEM. HOW OFTEN I THIS HAPPENING, I THINK I'D FEE MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING THAT

INFORMATION. >> UM, IF I MAY? UM, SO, AGAIN, I'M KIND OF LIKE LOOKING FOR, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS SAFETY TO TAKE THE WORDS OF MY COLLEAGUE ARMSTRONG, CAN'T PUT PRICE ON IT. BUT I ALSO AGREE THAT WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS VERY CAREFULLY WITH THE STABILIZATION PLAN. BUT IT HAS TO BE ONE OF OUR TOP, OUR VERY TOP PRIORITY. BUT I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR DUPLICATION IN THINGS. I KNOW THE COMMAND CENTER, THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL COST. WE HAVE A COMMAND CENTER OPERATOR, BUT WITHOUT A COMMAND CENTER, YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED THAT PERSON. SO THERE'S AN IMPLIED COST TO THAT UP FRONT.

SO IF WE COULD ADD THAT IN. BUT ALSO THE CHECK IN SYSTEM. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER CHECK IN SYSTEMS, RIGHT? SO KIND OF HAVE YOUR OWN SYSTEM, SO YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE OR WHAT YOU'RE ALREAD TRAINED ON. I'M SURE IT WILL BE

A VERY COLLABORATIVE APPROACH. >> RIGHT. AND WE'LL WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHATEVER SYSTEM YOU HAVE. WE CAN WORK

WITH IT. >> THAT'S SOMETHING I HOPE THAT WHEN WE KIND OF REALLY DIG INTO THE NUMBERS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN AFFORD FOR OUR DISTRICT, THAT WE'RE ADDING THOSE ELEMENTS SO WE DON'T LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE FO A PIECE THAT MAY BE ALREADY KIN OF IN THERE SOMEWHERE, RIGHT? THANK YOU.

>> YEAH, AND I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING, BECAUSE I THINK THE I. D.S ARE REALLY IMPORTANT AND I THINK DOCTOR, NO IT WAS MR. DIAZ WHO SHOWED ME HE HAD A SPECIAL MARK ON HIS I. D. THAT SAID HE COULD BE ON CAMPUS AFTE SCHOOL BECAUSE WE HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN SPORTS AND THE COMMUNITY IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHO'S ON CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, AFTE SCHOOL. AND OUR CAMPUS AT ONE O THE SCHOOLS IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT CERTAIN TIMES. THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN'T CONTROL. BUT AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, KNOWING WHAT KID IS ON CAMPUS AFTER SCHOOL HOURS IS IMPORTANT SHOUL ANYTHING UNFORTUNATE OCCUR. THA WAS ABOUT IT.

>> THANK YOU. UM, I DO HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS. EXCUSE ME. M FIRST ONE, UM, I THINK YOU READ MY MIND ABOUT KIND OF THE HIDDE COSTS YOU'D HAVE TO INCUR AS WE GO FORWARD WITH A SYSTEM LIKE THIS. I ALSO WAS THINKING ABOUT THE COMMAND CENTER, HOW MUCH EXTRA THAT WOULD BE. BUT ALSO WITH THE, I GUESS IT WOULD BE LANYARDS FOR STUDENTS, IS THAT SOMETHING WE NEED TO PROVIDE AS A DISTRICT OR DO YOU PROVIDE? I IT SPECIFICALLY CHIPPED THAT WOULD REQUIRE MAYBE A MACHINE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE? HOW DOES THAT ALL WORK WITH ALL THOSE OPTIONS?

>> SO THE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED BY THE DISTRICT, AND WE WOULD IMPLEMENT WHATEVER SYSTEM YOU HAVE. ALL THAT COST WOULD FALL ON THE DISTRICT. WE WOULD JUST ENFORCE WHAT METHOD

YOU GUYS ARE USING. >> SO WE COULD CERTAINLY PARTNE WITH YOU IN TERMS OF WHAT KIND OF SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE. WE CLEARLY HAVE INSIGHTS, AND WE'R HAPPY TO ASSIST IN THAT REALM, BUT IT'S ULTIMATELY YOUR DECISION. AND WE WOULD HAPPILY WALK THROUGH THAT WITH YOU AND SHOW YOU TWO OR THREE OPTIONS AND VET THEM OUT. WHAT'S THE BETTER ONE, OR MOST COST

EFFECTIVE CERTAINLY. >> THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOW, THE KIDS DON'T USE LANYARDS. THEY HAVE THE I. D. IN THEIR POCKET.

THEY SHOW IT, GET SCANNED, IF THEY HAVE AN EARLY PATH THEY'RE SCANNED THROUGH. IF THEY'RE NOT AUTHORIZED, THEY'RE ABLE TO

LEAVE THE CAMPUS. >> FOR COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE WALKING ABOUT HERE, THIS IS MORE OR LESS, SINCE THEY'RE MANAGING, WHAT'S INGRESS, EGRESS? GOING BACK AND FORTH. THAT'S THE UGANDAN IN ME SORRY. BUT THERE'S THE POTENTIA WHERE YOU'RE GOING, WHY ARE YOU LEAVING. WE WOULD HAVE TO REALL ADMINISTRATION-WISE HAVE THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEM MAKING THOSE DECISIONS. IT'S ABOUT ARE YOU IN, OUT, IF IT'S CONFUSING THERE'S SOMEONE TO TALK TO. WE WOULD ESTABLISH ALL

[02:10:05]

THOSE THINGS. >> UM, WITH THAT, WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION? DO YOU GO FROM LIKE WHEN KIDS ARE ON CAMPUS OR DO YOU OPERATE ON THE WEEKENDS? AND, UM, I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION FOR STAFF AN MAYBE EVEN FOR MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES, BUT IF YOU CAN MAYB ANSWER THAT FOR ME FIRST?

>> WE GENERALLY START AN HOUR BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS, AND THEN DEPENDING WHEN SCHOOL ENDS, WE'LL PROBABLY GO ON HOUR AFTERWARDS. THAT'S OUR HOURS OF OPERATION. BUT IT'S ALL SCALED OFF OF THE PARTNERSHIP WE BUILD WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE. MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE ONE OFFICER START EARLY AND BRING A GUY IN THE MID SHIFT THAT STAYS UNTIL 6:00 P.M. SO YOU HAVE THE DOUBL COVERAGE. WE JUST HAVE TO SEE WHAT WORKS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND HOW WE CAN

ACCOMPLISH THAT TOGETHER. >> ADDITIONALLY, WE'RE AVAILABL AND WE'RE ALWAYS PRESENT DURING SPORTING EVENTS, WHICH IS ALWAY AN ISSUE. SPECIAL EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, YOU KNOW, MEETINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE WOULD REALLY BE YOUR GO TO PARTNER.

THE HOURS ARE LITERALLY 24/7, 365. WHATEVER YOU WOULD NEED, W WOULD BE THERE TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

>> YEAH, WE'VE HAD REQUESTS THE DAY BEFORE THAT HEY, WE HAVE A DANCE WE WANT SECURITY FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND WE DEPLOY OFFICERS FOR THAT EVENT. OR IT COULD BE GRADUATION. WE'LL DEPLOY OFFICERS OR USE THE WHOL TEAM FOR GRADUATIONS OR WHATEVE

EVENT YOU MAY HAVE. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, MAY I ASK A FOLLOW UP? THE, YEAH, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OU TO ME. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE NOT REPLACING OUR CURRENT SECURITY. OUR CLASSIFIED WORKERS WHO DO THE JOB. BUT I KNOW THEY WOULD APPRECIATE THE EXTRA SUPPORT IN THAT ROLE. BUT I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP. YOU SAY YOU'RE VERY FLEXIBLE ON SPECIAL EVENTS OR SPORTING EVENTS AND ALL THAT, AND WE'D HAVE CONTROL OF THAT, THAT FLEXIBILITY. BUT ALSO, I WANTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH LIKE COST SAVINGS THERE POSSIBLY WOULD BE FOR LIKE A GRADUATION, HOW MUCH WE'RE SPENDING ON THOS OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

>> I'D HAVE TO WORK WITH BUSINESS SERVICES TO SEE HOW MUCH WE SPEND WHEN WE BRING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HELP WITH SPECIAL EVENTS AND GRADUATIONS.

>> YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THIS WOULD KIND OF SUPPORT WHERE MAYBE WE WOULDN'T NEED TO SPEND THAT

MONEY AS MUCH? >> THAT'S SOMETHING AS WE, WELL THE GOOD THINGS WE'RE HEARING I THERE'S AN INTEREST FROM THE BOARD OF THIS. SO NOW WE HAVE T THEN LOOK TO SEE WHAT CAN WE PU TOGETHER THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH OU RESOURCES. SEE WHAT WE CAN SCAL BACK ON, UP ON, SEE WHICH LEVEL OF SUPPORT WE NEED FOR DIFFEREN EVENTS. KNOWING WE HAVE ANOTHER PARTNER TO ADD TO THAT LIST. BU THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HEAR

FROM THE BOARD IS THE INTEREST. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU.

>> UM, I QUESTION. SO, JUST FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE DO HAVE MAYBE FOOTBALL TEAM. HOW MANY SHERIFF DO WE, UM, CALL FOR? ABOUT HOW

MANY? >> USUALLY WE HAVE ABOUT TWO SHERIFFS THERE, AND THEN WE ALS HAVE OUR YELLOW JACKET TEAMS THAT WE CONTRACT WITH. WE ALSO DO THAT FOR OUR GRADUATIONS.

USUALLY WITH THE YELLOW JACKETS WE HAVE ANYWHERE FROM FIVE TO SIX, AND ADDITIONALLY SOMETIMES WE HAVE OUR OWN SECURITY

PARTICIPATE. >> AND SO WHAT PART WILL, IF WE WERE TO GO WITH THIS, AND I KNO WE HAVE TO WORK ALL OF THIS OUT WHAT PART WILL THEY BE, IN A SENSE, REPLACING? THE YELLOW JACKETS, THE SHERIFFS? IF SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE HAPPENED, WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE SHERIFF REGARDLESS. SO WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE SHERIFFS. WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE THEM AT HAND SO W NEED TO KNOW LIKE, OKAY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SHERIFF FOR THIS EVENT BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS COMPANY. BUT WE'RE STILL GOING TO NEED THE YELLOW JACKETS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO, THEY'RE GOING TO PROTECT THE OUTER LAYER. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF STUFF YOU GUYS WILL HAVE TO WORK OUT.

>> YEAH, THAT GOES BACK TO WHAT DR. ADLER WAS TALKING ABOUT.

LIKE, IF WE HAVE THESE RESOURCE WE USED TO DO, WHAT COMBINATION

[02:15:03]

>> I KNOW OUR YELLOW JACKETS AR ON CAMPUS, THEY'RE IN THE STANDS, THEY'RE WALKING AROUND.

>> I JUST WANTED TO ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION REGARDING THE CONTRACT. DO YOU GUYS JUST DO CONTRACTS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS BECAUSE THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE W HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH SOME OF OUR CONTRACTED IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO JUST CALL THEM BASED ON THE EVENTS WE NEED OR IS YOUR CONTRACT AN ANNUAL CONTRACT?

>> AN ANNUAL CONTRACT. >> SO JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'S AN ANNUAL CONTRACT, HOWEVER YOU COULD PULL FROM THE TEAM TO SUPPLEMENT THOSE SERVICES. YOU COULD GET, WE HAVE, WE GO WITH ONE OF THE OPTIONS, IT'S 15 OFFICERS THAT WE HAVE THAT WORK THE SCHOOLS. THEY KNOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE COULD PULL FROM THOSE 15 OFFICERS AND PUT THEM AT THOSE SPECIAL EVENTS AN HAVE THAT TEAM READY TO GO AT ANY MOMENT IN TIME. IT'S GETTIN

SCHEDULING ON BOARD. >> IF I COULD ALSO ADD ONE MORE THING. I KNOW WE WANTED THE ACTUAL PRESENCE OF ONE TODAY SO THE COMMUNITY AND BOARD COULD HAVE A VISUAL OF WHAT THE SECURITY WOULD LOOK LIKE ON OUR CAMPUSES. WE WANTED TO BE, UM, OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WITH WHAT THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY AND

INDIVIDUAL WOULD LOOK LIKE. >> ON THE PERIMETER --

>> I FEEL VERY SAFE HAVING OUR WONDERFUL SECURED OFFICER.

THERE'S ALSO OUR VEHICLE WE BROUGHT.

>> YOU WOULD PARK A VEHICLE OUT IN THE FRONT LETTING PEOPLE KNO THERE'S SOMETHING HERE AND DON' CARE COME OR SOMETHING?

>> IT'S A BIG DETERRENT. >> IT IS A BIG DETERRENT.

>> SO I THANK YOU. THANK YOU FO THE PRESENTATION.

>> I HAD A QUESTION. I WAS WONDERING, ARE THERE ANY CITY REQUIREMENTS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN WE HAVE BIG EVENTS? LIKE ARE WE REQUIRED TO USE THE SHERIFFS?

>> WE'RE NOT REQUIRED. WE JUST HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM. AN LET ME REITERATE, WE'VE HAD TIMES WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM AND THEY'VE OFFERED TO PATROL INSTEAD OF BEING ON THE SITE. THAT'S WHERE THE YELLOW JACKETS COME IN. THAT'S SOMETIMES DUE TO STAFFING SITUATIONS. THEY'LL SAY WE CAN' PHYSICALLY BE AT THE EVENT THE WHOLE TIME, BUT WE'LL BE SURE T PATROL THE AREA IF IT'S NEEDED.

>> AND IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, IT WOULD REQUIRE A COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL RESOURCE WE'RE BRINGING ON OUR CAMPUS SO WE CA WORK IN CONJUNCTION. I KNOW THEY'RE STILL DISCUSSING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN SRO FOR THE DISTRICT. WE WANT TO EXPAND THE LAYERS OF SUPPORT FOR OUR CAMPUSES. WE STILL HAVE A DESIR TO WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BRING AN SRO IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT'S THE ADDITIONAL LAYERS OF

SUPPORT. >> MADAM PRESIDENT, IF I MAY? I THINK THAT'S A BIG POINT BECAUS OBVIOUSLY THERE'S INTEREST, RIGHT, BUT IT'S A MATTER OF LOOKING AT ALL THE PIECES BECAUSE EVEN HAVING A RESOURCE WAS LIKE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT? LOOKING AT THAT, AND I'M THAT'S SOMETHING INITIALLY I WA VERY INTERESTED IN AND STILL AM BUT THEN WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT OKAY, ONE OFFICER THAT TECHNICALLY COULD BE CALLED AWA TO A DIFFERENT CALL AT ANY POINT. IF THEY GET A CALL FROM ANYWHERE ELSE, THEY'LL LEAVE OU CAMPUS AND DO THAT OPPOSED TO HAVING 15 AND ONE AT EVERY SCHOOL SITE. THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS WE'LL HAVE TO HAV THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT, AND THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO, YOU KNOW, HOW YOU WOULD COLLABORATE

WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. >> WHAT'S IMPRESSIVE IN BEVERLY HILLS, AND YOU EXPLAINED THE SAFETY DRILLS YOU HAD AND THE LOCKDOWNS AND ALL THAT, WE DON' DO LOCKDOWNS IN ISOLATION OF TH POLICE OFFICERS. WE ACTUALLY DO IT TOGETHER. SO IF SOMETHING

[02:20:03]

>> THANK YOU. SO BACK TO MY QUESTIONS. UM, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH HOMELESS AROUND OUR SCHOOLS? BECAUSE, UM, IN YEARS PAST WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT CURRENTLY WE'RE STARTING THE SEE A LOT MORE TRANSIENTS AROUND OUR SCHOOLS. I KNOW OF SEVERAL, YOU KNOW, OF OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ACCOSTED WITH THEIR FAMILIES WALKING TO AND FROM

SCHOOL TOO. >> UM --

>> IT'S EVERYWHERE. BUT WE'RE COMPASSIONATE. WE APPROACH THE INDIVIDUAL AND TRY TO MOVE THEM ON IN THE MORNING BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THERE OVERNIGHT. WE'LL TRY AND CLEAR. THAT'S WHY WE START AN HOUR BEFORE TO DO AN EXTERIO CHECK AND SEE WHAT THE OVERNIGH BROUGHT IN FOR THE MORNING. WE KINDLY ASK THEM TO LEAVE. WE'LL BUY THEM A CUP OF COFFEE SOMETIMES JUST TO MOVE THEM ON.

WE'RE JUST DOING DEESCALATION. I'VE HAD SCHOOLS WHERE THEY DO FOOD PROGRAMS. I'LL HAVE THE GUYS GET A BAG OF FOOD AND HAVE THEM GO ABOUT THEIR WAY. THAT'S THE WAY WE DEAL WITH THOSE KIND

OF SITUATIONS. >> ADDITIONALLY, WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE VARIOUS SERVICES YOU MIGHT OFFER WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY, SO WE'LL BE ABL TO REFER THEM TO THE VARIOUS SERVICES OR EVEN CALL AND ASK FOR SUPPORT WHETHER IT'S SHELTE OR WHATEVER SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY OFFERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TEAMS THAT WE HAVE ARE VERY VERY WELL-TRAINED SPECIFICALLY TO MANAGE IN HOUSE SITUATIONS. BECAUSE WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING THE PROGRAMS, THE TEAMS, PARTICULARLY IF THIS IS AN ISSU IN THE COMMUNITY, WE MAKE SURE THE TEAMS DEPLOYED HERE HAVE THAT TRAINING SO, AGAIN, IT'S NOT ILLEGAL TO BE HOMELESS. BUT IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO CERTAIN THINGS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. SO WE'RE VERY AWARE OF THE LAWS, W DON'T WANT THERE TO BE LAWSUITS THERE ARE MANY RIGHTS AND GROUP THAT PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE UNHOUSED. WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT AND DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT'S NOT LEGAL IN TH EFFORT OF SOLVING THE ISSUE TO PUT YOU GUYS IN JEOPARDY OR OUR COMPANY IN JEOPARDY OF LAWSUITS WE'RE REALLY MINDFUL OF THAT AS WELL.

>> IN OUR CITY HERE, WE DO HAVE A HOMELESS SHELTER. WHAT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON IS THAT THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT CAN APPROACH OUR UNHOUSED POPULATION, AND MOVE THEM, YOU KNOW, TRY TO MAK SURE THAT THEY CAN GO INTO THOS PLACES. WHEN YOU ARE WORKING, I YOU COME ON AND YOU'RE WORKING WITH US, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD ALSO ENGAGE IN, OR WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING YOU JUS

CALL OUT TO THE SHERIFFS -- >> AGAIN, RIGHT, IT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE IT WOULD THEN FORCE OUR TEAM TO ACTUALLY LEAVE THEIR DEPLOYMENT AND PHYSICALLY GO OFF CAMPUS TO TAKE AN UNHOUSED INDIVIDUAL INT A SHELTER. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S REALLY THE BEST. SO WE WOULD FIGURE OUT A PATH OF SUCCESS AND BE VERY COLLABORATIVE IN HOW WE WOULD SOLVE IT. AT FIRST BLUSH, I WOULD SUGGEST WHATEVER SYSTEM YOU HAVE IN PLACE, WE COULD STA WITH THE UNHOUSED INDIVIDUAL.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT CHALLENGING ANY OF OUR STUDENTS OR FACULTY UNTIL PROPER POLICE PERSONNEL CAME TO ESCORT THEM.

JUST, TO START LEAVING THE POST FOR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS I THINK IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERARCHING PROGRAM, AND I WOUL HATE THERE TO BE AN INCIDENT AN US BE TRANSPORTING AN UNDERSTAN HOUSED PERSON. BUT THOSE ARE AL THINGS WE COULD WORK OUT.

>> I AGREE. WE'D RATHER YOU BE ON OUR CAMPUSES. YES, ON THE

PERIMETER. >> UM, I WAS GOING TO, SORRY. W ARE A TRI-CITY DISTRICT, TOO, S I KNOW EACH CITY HAS DIFFERENT THINGS. LIKE LAKEWOOD IS DIFFERENT. I THINK THAT COLLABORATION PIECE WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT AND MAKING SUR OUR POLICIES ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

>> YES. UM, JUST TO CONFIRM, YOUR PATROLS ARE UNARMED?

>> ARMED. >> ARMED. THEY'RE ARMED. CAN YO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE WHE YOU START WORKING WITH OUR LOCA SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT?

[02:25:04]

>> SO, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE AWARDED THE CONTRACT, WE COME IN AND WORK WITH THE WATCH COMMANDER. WE'LL TRY AND GET WITH THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHERIFFS STATION ON TOP OF THAT, IN ONE CITY WE WERE INVITED TO ROLL CALL WHERE WE STARTED OUR DAY WITH THE TEA SO THEY KNOW WHO'S WORKING IN THE CITY AND WHO'S WORKING IN THE SCHOOLS. THAT WAS REAL SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID WE WORK WITH THE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEY KNEW WHO OUR OFFICERS WERE, HOW THEY WERE DRESSED, AND IF THERE'S A SITUATION, THEY'RE ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR OFFICERS.

>> THANK YOU. AND HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO SEE WHERE BOTH OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE AT? I THINK YOU SAI YOU WERE AT BOTH THE CAMPUSES? SEE THAT ON YOUR PRICING YOU ALSO ADD ON LIKE A PATROL CAR THAT'S OUT THERE. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE HAVE A PATROL

CAR? >> YES.

>> OKAY. SO THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST THAT WOULD BE

IMPLIED? >> IN THE PROPOSAL IT SHOWS THE

COST. >> OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU. MY NEXT QUESTION IS YOU SAID YOU D TRAINING AND RUN DRILLS, CORRECT? IS THAT, I WOULD TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. DO YOU DO THE TRAINING AND DRILLS ON OUR CAMPUSES OR OFF OUR

CAMPUSES? >> BOTH. SO WE DO ON CAMPUS WHE SCHOOL IS OUT OF SESSION. AND THEN SOMETIMES, IF LAW ENFORCEMENT OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS AVAILABLE, WE TR AND DO TRAINING WITH THEM TOGETHER SO THAT WAY WE'RE COLLABORATIVE AND ABLE TO WORK AS ONE TEAM IF THERE'S A SITUATION. ON TOP OF THAT, WE ALSO GO OFF SITE AND DO TRAININ AT THE RANGE AND TRY TO SIMULAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND HOW TO DO

WITH THOSE SITUATIONS. >> AND DO YOU EVER DO TRAINING

WITH, UM, STAFF? >> YES. WE HAVE DONE ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINER WITH STAFF. IT' A WHOLE PROGRAM THAT WE WORK WITH. WE DO TRAINING WITH STAFF

>> AND THAT WOULD, I'M ASSUMING THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL COST?

>> NOT NECESSARILY. WE DO IT PART OF THE CONTRACT. IT DEPENDS, WE'VE HAD DISTRICTS THAT COME IN AND WANT ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING WITH OUR STAFF AND WE GO THROUGH, HAVE A WHOLE PRESENTATION, BRING IN AN INSTRUCTOR. IT'S NOT AN

ADDITIONAL COST. >> AND IT'S DEPLOYED TO YOU, SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SIMULATOR, SOME OF YOU ACTUALLY, I THINK YOU SAW IT. THAT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL YOUR STAFF, AND THAT'S A VARIETY OF SCENARIOS. LIKE DEESCALATION FOR EXAMPLE. IT DOESN'T ALL HAVE TO BE GUNS AND THINGS. SOME ARE REALLY GREAT TRAININGS THAT REALLY ENABLE INDIVIDUALS A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO DEESCALATE CERTAIN SITUATIONS

AND THINGS LIKE THAT. >> AND WOULD ANY OF THESE TRAININGS WITH OUR STAFF ALSO INCLUDE OUR STUDENT BODIES?

>> THAT WOULD BE A DECISION THA WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH THE BOARD FAST, I'M NOT JUST KIND OF PREDICTING HERE, HOW FAST SAY I YOU WERE STATIONED AT ONE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO GET TO THE NEXT HIGH SCHOOL? LIKE SAY YOU WERE AT MAYFAIR ON THE NORTH SIDE, WE WANT TO GET YOU TO THE SOUTH-SIDE.

>> IT ALL DEPENDS OBVIOUSLY ON TRAFFIC, TIME OF DAY, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY FAST. THEY'LL ALL HAVE RADIOS AND BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EVERY OFFICER THAT'S ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

ONCE THEY GET A CALL FOR SERVIC OR A SUPERVISOR NEEDS TO RESPOND, YOU KNOW, THE LEAD TIM FOR THAT IS UNKNOWN BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO EVERY SCHOO AND GAUGE IT ON WE WOULD DEPLOY

THAT PATROL. >> WHICH WE DIDN'T DO.

>> YOU DIDN'T TIME IT. >> BUT WE CAN.

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO YOU ALSO SPOKE ABOUT BEING OUTSIDE OF TH SCHOOLS, BUT YOU DON'T GO INSIDE. WHAT IF THERE WAS TO BE UM, A STUDENT WHO JUST, YOU KNOW, THAT SCENARIO, PULLS OUT GUN, STARTS SHOOTING. DO YOU THEN GOOD IN.

>> YES. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. AND AT THAT POINT I'M ASSUMING THAT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD BE CALLED

[02:30:03]

WHEN THEY ARRIVE. >> AS SOON AS LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVES ON SCENE, THEY ARE THE INCIDENT COMMAND. THEY'RE THE ONES TAKING OVER THE SCENE, AND WE'RE STEPPING BACK. AT THAT POINT WE'RE JUST SUPPORT. WHATEVER THEY NEED US TO DO. IF THEY TELL US TO BACK OFF AND GO BLOCK THIS HALLWAY, WE'LL DO THAT. ONCE LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVES, IT'S THEIR SCENE. WE HAVE NO JURISDICTION ON THAT. AND THAT'S PART OF THE TRAINING AND HOW WE WORK WITH THEM, AND THEY'LL KNOW THAT.

>> PERFECT. THANK YOU. I BELIEVE, UM, OH, YES, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE RIGHT NOW?

>> OVER 100. >> OKAY, SO YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH.

UM, AND WHAT IS KIND OF LIKE TH BEHAVIOR THAT YOUR, UM, TEAMS ENGAGE IN WHEN STUDENTS COME UP AND TALK TO THEM?

>> IT DEPENDS WHAT AGE. >> HIGH SCHOOL.

>> SO WE HAVE OFFICERS THAT, AN HE CAN ATTEST, HE WORKED WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL. THEY HAVE AN OPEN DIALOGUE COMMUNICATION. YO WANT TO BEFRIEND EVERYONE COMIN IN AND THE STUDENTS SO YOU HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE THAT YOU COULD GO TO THEM AND REPORT ANYTHING TO THAT OFFICER SO THAT WAY WE HAVE THE INFORMATION. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. THAT'S THE KEY IS WE WANT TO HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE WITH THE STUDENT WITH THE OFFICERS, THEY CAN SPEAK TO THEM. IT'S NOT JUST SOMEBODY STANDING THERE NOT GOING TO BE INTERACTING. WE WANT THAT OPEN DIALOGUE WITH THEM.

>> OKAY. PERFECT. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. STAFF, ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS?

>> YEAH, SO LIKE YOU SAID, NO DECISION IS GOING TO BE MADE TODAY. I THINK FROM MY READ, I THINK YOU'RE INTRIGUED, BUT YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. SO WE'RE GOING TO, MAINLY THE COST, HOW CAN WE AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, ALL THROUGH JULY WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT FINANCES AND LOOKING AT THE FISCAL STABILIZATION. WE'LL INCLUDE THIS AS A PART OF THE CONVERSATION. YOU'LL SEE ANOTHE PASS AT THIS WITH THE COST AND THEORETICAL BUDGET MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF DECISIONS ANYWAY, SO THIS IS JUST A PART OF THAT DECISION MAKING I THINK IN TERMS OF INTERQUEST, THAT ONE I MENTIONE EARLIER, IF YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT, WE'LL COME BACK AGAIN WIT THE CONTRACT, BUT THAT ONE I WOULD LIKE TO GET GOING BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. BEFORE THE ASSEMBLIES AND LETTING THE STUDENTS KNOW WHAT THE DOGS ARE AND PARENTS KNOW. JUST A WHOLE COMMUNICATION PLAN. THIS ONE IS MORE, I REALIZE THIS IS MORE SENSITIVE. PEOPLE WILL HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE WE CAN AFFORD THIS, SO WE'LL GO TO WORK ON THAT PIECE. BUT THE MAIN THING IS I WANTED YOU TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.

THE SUPERINTENDENT, I KNOW HIM VERY WELL. WE'VE WORKED TOGETHE FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. I THINK HE SAID THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS HE'S MADE IN HIRING THEM, AND I BELIEVE HIM IN THAT

>> YEAH, JUST ONE MORE QUESTION FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THE LONG PRESENTATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, AND YOUR VOICE I

JUST FINE. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK GOING INTO THIS BECAUSE IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A LONG TIME.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, AND IT'S PROBABL ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES AS A FATHER OF TWO IN THE DISTRICT AND EVERY OTHER PARENT I THINK ONE THING WE LEARNED FROM THE UVALDE SITUATION WAS THE NO MATTER WHAT TRAINING, IT'S STILL PEOPLE THAT NEED TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE DECISION, AND I WANT TO ASK HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THE PEOPLE WE PLACE IN OUR CAMPUSES, WHEN THEY HEAR SHOTS ARE GOING TO RUN TOWARDS

THOSE SHOTS? >> 100%.

>> THANK YOU. >> AND WE'D LOVE TO INVITE YOU TO ONE OF THE TRAININGS TO SEE THE RIGOROUS TRAINING THEY UNDERGO AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. THAT'S PART OF THAT ASPECT. HOW YOU DEAL WITH THAT SITUATION AND GAUGE THAT

SITUATION. >> AND BECAUSE MOST OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE EX-MILITARY AND EX-POLICE LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT'S IN THEIR DNA. THEY UNDERSTAND THE NUANCE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO HEAR A SHOT, KNOW THERE ARE CHILDREN BEHIND THERE, AND MOVE WITHOUT THOUGHT OF THEIR OWN SAFETY. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU MEET AND SPEAK WITH OUR OFFICER AND, YOU KNOW, RICK, WHO REALLY MANAGES ALL THE TEAM. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, AS WE STARTED THIS PRESENTATION, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT TH CHILDREN, THE FAMILIES, THE ADMINISTRATION, AND THE FACULTY FEEL SAFE AND SECURE. WE TAKE I VERY SERIOUSLY.

[02:35:05]

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND GREAT PRESENTATION.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

CONSIDERING US. >> JUST ONE LAST THING. THERE'S 40% THAT WAS FOR THIS AND 20% THAT WAS OPEN TO IT.

>> YEAH. >> YEAH, WOW.

>> SO 47% SUPPORT AND ENDORSE THIS PROTOCOL AT THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY. 20% WERE NEUTRAL I'M OKAY WITH WHATEVER DECISION IS MADE. 8% SUPPORTED IT AT THE SECONDARY ONLY, AND 15% DID NOT

SUPPORT THE IDEA. >> OUT OF HOW MANY PEOPLE?

>> 4,000, EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND. WE HAD 4,115 RESPONDENTS. 65% O

STUDENTS. 20% IS STAFF. >> AND I KNOW WE GOT THE NUMBER BEFORE, BUT COULD YOU RESEND THOSE?

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU, AGAIN. >> DO WE HAVE ANOTHER

PRESENTATION? >> YES, THE NEXT PRESENTATION I ABOUT THE REVISED BY LAW 9150 STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. I THINK WE HAVE POSTPONED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK WE'RE READY T NOW ENGAGE IN THE CONVERSATION. LET ME JUST KIND OF ORIENT EVERYONE WHILE THE PRESENTERS COME UP. TONIGHT I INVITED CHRI MENDOZA, PREVIOUS STUDENT BOARD MEMBER, AND STUDENT ALISSA KLEI TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE LAST YEAR. SO THEY'RE GOING TO PRESENT IS ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE PERSONALLY AS WELL AS OPERATIONALLY AND WHAT WAS EFFECTIVE AND NOT EFFECTIVE BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME INTEREST THAT WE LIKE THIS CONCEPT OF THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER, BUT HOW DO WE MAKE IT WORKABLE AND HOW CAN WE IMPROVE UPON IT. SO WHAT WE'LL DO TODAY IS PRESENT ON SOME OF THEIR EXPERIENCES. THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS WITH THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY INVOLVED IN THIS, WHICH IS THE STUDENTS. FROM THERE, I'LL HAVE COUNCIL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WE WANT TO INCORPORATE TO SOLIDIFY ANY CHANGES WE'LL MAKE REGARDING STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS, AND THEN WE'LL LEAVE I UP TO QUESTIONS. BUT NO DECISIO WILL BE MADE TONIGHT. YOU HAVE REPLACEMENT PAPER, REPLACEMENT BY LAW THAT YOU CAN READ THAT COUNCIL WILL GO OVER. IT'S A FIRST READING, SO YOU GUYS WILL DISCUSS IT. WE'LL REVIEW IT, AN THEN BOUNCE ANY IDEAS OFF, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IT NEXT TIME AROUND WHEN WE BRING IT BACK TO SEE IF WE WANT TO MAKE ADDITIONAL DECISIONS. I YOU SAY IT LOOKS CLEAN, WE'LL GET A VOTE ON IT. TONIGHT, WE HEAR ABOUT IT, YOU TALK THROUGH IT, AND THEN WE'LL, UM, BRING I BACK NEXT TIME FOR A SECOND READING. MR. MENDOZA, YOU CAN TAKE OVER.

>> GOOD EVENING BOARD, MEMBERS OF THE CABINET, AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER, AND I SERVED AS STUDENT BOARD MEMBER FOR THE LAST ACADEMIC YEAR. I'M JOINED TONIGHT BY MY PARTNER IN THE PROJECT ALISSA KLEIN. TO BEGIN, JUST SOME CONTEXT. WHEN I WAS SWORN IN AS A STUDENT BOARD MEMBER, OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO PRECEDENT FOR ME TO RELY ON TO BE EFFECTIVE OR KNOW HOW TO SERVE IN MY ROLE SINCE I WAS TH FIRST. I WAS GIVEN SOME LEVEL O TRAINING BY THE FORMER SUPERINTENDENT AND THEN BOARD PRESIDENT ARMSTRONG. I ALSO ATTENDED A CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE IN LOS ANGELES IN JULY JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER I WAS SWORN IN WHERE I WORKED WITH AND TRAINED ALONGSIDE OTHER STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS FROM ACROSS THE STATE. AND AFTER THAT, THAT WAS THE BULK OF MY TRAINING. IT WAS KIN OF UP TO ME TO ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF AND ASK THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS A LOT OF QUESTIONS WHEN I WAS STARTING OFF ABOUT THINGS I WASN'T CLEAR ABOUT BEFORE BOARD MEMBERS. IT WAS CLEAR TO ME I'D HAVE A HARD YEAR. MY COUNTERPARTS FROM ACROSS THE STATE WERE A GOOD RESOURCE, AND WE DID, I DID MEE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISOR MONTHLY. BUT I REALIZED I COULDN'T FUNCTION EFFICIENTLY BECAUSE THERE WAS A LACK OF COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURE FOR

[02:40:02]

SO THIS HAPPENED AROUND THE SAM TIME IN FEBRUARY WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE UPCOMING ELECTION FOR THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER FOR TH 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR. WE HOSTE A STUDY SESSION WITH THE ADVISORY COUNCIL AND DECIDED THAT BB915 NEEDED TO BE REVISED SPECIFICALLY TO REQUIRE THREE STUDENTS TO SHARE THAT POSITION NOT TWO ADDITIONAL STUDENTS IN THAT POSITION, BUT THREE SHARIN THAT POSITION. I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.

THEY WORKED ON A SET OF PROPOSE REVISIONS. IT'S OUR BELIEF THAT BECAUSE THE REVISIONS INCLUDED COME DIRECTLY FROM EDCO PUT INT THE BY LAW, AND THEY'RE ALSO VERIFIED BY LEGAL COUNCIL, THEY NEED LESS OF AN EXPLANATION MOR SO THAN OURS DO SINCE WE'RE COMING TO YOU AS STUDENTS. SO, OUR PROPOSED REVISIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE STRUCTURE FROM PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNANCE HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND SUPPORTED BY LEGAL COUNCIL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRESENTATION, THEREFORE, I TO EXPLAIN THE LANGUAGE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING THAT YOU PASS ALONGSIDE LEGAL COUNCIL'S PROVISIONS W. THAT SAID, I'LL LET ALISSA START OFF OUR PRESENTATION.

>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU CHRIS. JUST TO REITERATE, TONIGHT THE BULK OF OUR PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS ON THE SPECIFIC REVISIONS MADE TO BB9150'S LANGUAGE AND VERNACULAR. WE WILL FIRST BEGIN THERE YOU GO, WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW. WE'LL BEGIN WITH A BRIEF CLARIFICATION OF BOARD BY LAW 9150 AND WHAT IT ENTAILS, FOLLOWED BY AN EXPLANATION AS T WHY REVISIONS ARE NECESSARY. A STEP BY STEP WALK THROUGH OF TH PROPOSED REVISIONS, AND FINALLY FIRST STEPS IN MOVING FORWARD. FIRST OFF, AS CHRIS TALKED ABOU PREVIOUSLY, BB9150 WAS CREATED IN FEBRUARY 2022 IN RESPONSE TO SOME PRESSING ISSUES THE DISTRICT WAS FACING, AND THUS THE DISTRICT-WIDE CALL FOR GREATER STUDENT REPRESENTATION.

BOARD BY LAW 9150 IS ESSENTIALL A MODIFIED ED CODE AND ADDS A FEW DISTRICT SPECIFIC EMBELLISHMENTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER TO MAKE MOTIONS. BECAUSE OF THIS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT BB915 UP CLOSE, IT'S A RELATIVELY SHORT POLICY THAT LACKS THE SPECIFICS OF THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER'S RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXPECTATIONS. AGAIN, UNDER ED CODE, THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER MAY CAST A PREFERENTIAL VOTE IN THAT THEY MAY EXPRESS THEIR PREFERENCE ON THE MOTION, BUT THE VOTE DOESN'T COUNT IN THE FINAL NUMERICAL OUTCOME OF A

[02:45:06]

>> EXCUSE ME, I'M SO SORRY. WOULD YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE? I DON'T WANT TO BE RUDE AND INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT ONE ASPECT AND MAYBE JUST GET CLARIFICATION. YOUR SLIDE SAYS THE SUPERINTENDENT I ABOVE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, I THAT WHAT I'M READING CORRECTLY

>> THAT'S SOLELY FOR THE PURPOS HAVING ROOM ON THE SLIDE FOR TH ADVISORY COUNCIL. BUT YES, WE UNDERSTAND THE SUPERINTENDENT I EMPLOYED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

>> PERFECT. I JUST WANTED TO GE THAT CLARITY OUT THERE SO OUR VIEWERS AND OTHER PEOPLE WATCHING THIS UNDERSTAND THAT

ASPECT. >> YES, AND APOLOGIES FOR THE

CONFUSION WITH THE GRAPHIC. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> AS WE STATED, ED CODE 25012 SETS THE PERIMETERS INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. IT SETS CLEAR REQUIREMENTS FOR RIGHTS OFFERED TO STUDENT TRUSTEES, AND IT'S FIRM ABOUT THE LIMITATIONS OF THE POSITION. THE BY LAW DOESN' FEATURE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS THA MAKE IT BENEFICIAL TO THIS COMMUNITY LEADING TO SOME OF TH FOLLOWS ISSUES. ALTHOUGH BB9150 IMPLIES THAT MORE THAN ONE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER CAN SERVE AT ONCE, THERE'S NO GUIDELINES ON HOW THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

WITHOUT SPECIFIC GUIDELINES, THEN YOU COULD HAVE ALL REPS FROM ONE SCHOOL MAKING IT AN EASIER OPTION TO JUST HAVE ONE.

I CAN SAY FROM MY TERM AND FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF YOU HERE, THAT'S NOT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF DOING IT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL. ANOTHER WEAKNESS OF THIS BY LAW IS UNDER RULES AND RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE ALISSA HA MENTIONED, THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL IS NOT MENTIONED EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T ACT IN THAT CAPACITY, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE CHAIR OF TH COUNCIL. EVERYONE GOT MY CONTAC INFORMATION AT THE START OF THE YEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO ME LIKE ME TALK TO YOU GUYS BUT THAT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED. THAT WAS LIKE A ROLE FOR THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER NO LISTED IN BB9150. AND AS THEY STATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, I DID RECEIVE AN ORIENTATION THAT IS REQUIRED IN BB9150. WHAT THAT WAS IS I WAS GIVEN A BINDER WITH INFORMATION ON THE BROWN ACT. SOME INFORMATION ON THE DISTRICT AND MY POSITION. I WAS TOLD TO STUD IT, AND THEN MET WITH FORMER SUPERINTENDENT FOR TWO HOURS, AND THEN THEY MET WITH RENITA T GO OVER BOARD BOOKS AND THAT WA IT AND I WAS GOOD TO GO. SO, UM I THINK, I UNDERSTAND WHY THE TRAINING WAS NOT AS THOROUGH, I WAS THE FIRST YEAR HAVING IT. W DIDN'T HAVE THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCEDURE, BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE HAD A STUDENT BOARD MEMBER I THINK IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BEEF UP THE TRAINING PORTION OF THE POLICY.

AND LASTLY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS THAT'S BEEN EXPRESSED BY BOARD LEADERSHIP WAS THE SAFETY AND PREVIOUS CITY OF STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE TO SERVE IN SUCH A PUBLIC ROLE. THERE'S CURRENTLY NO PROTECTIONS FOR TH STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO EXPERIENCE ANY HARASSMENT OR HAVE ADULTS PRESSURE ME IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY, BUT WE HEAR CONCERNS AND KNOW HOW POSSIBLE THAT IS TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE IF NOTHING IS DONE, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOU HEARING SOME OF THE IDEAS WE CAME UP. HOPEFULLY WE'VE EXPLAINED WHY WE WERE COMPELLED TO LOOK AT BB9150 AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE AREAS THAT WE BELIEVE THERE'S AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT. IN THIS PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING T BREAK DOWN THE FOUR MAIN PROPOSED REVISIONS WE'VE MADE. WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE THE

[02:50:02]

SINCE IT'S ED CODE, IT'S POSSIBLE ANYWAY, BUT SINCE WE'R ADDING IT BY LAW IT'S EVEN MORE SUPPORTED. I'M GOING TO LET ALISSA EXPLAIN WHAT THE STRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE.

>> OKAY, SO THE NEXT CHANGE WOULD BE UNDER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHERE WE HAVE PROPOSED ENTIRELY NEW LANGUAGE THAT WILL ESTABLISH A STRICTURE OF STUDENT VOICE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. SO THE PROPOSED REVISION READS THE STUDENT BOAR MEMBERS ARE A PART OF A LARGER STRUCTURE FOR STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND GOVERNANCE AN SHALL WORK WITH THE ADVISORY COUNCIL AND STUDENT CABINETS AT EACH OF THE SECONDARY CAMPUSES TO MAKE SURE AUTHENTIC STUDENT VOICE IS BROUGHT TO DISCUSSIONS AGAIN, THE KEY TO THIS PROPOSAL IS THE CREATION OF STUDENT CABINETS, WHICH I WILL BE GOING OVER IN FURTHER DETAIL. THIS PAST YEAR, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH THE MAYFAIR PRINCIPAL AND CHRISTOPHER TO ESTABLISH WHAT'S NOW KNOWN AS A STUDENT CABINET. IT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND HAS FUNCTIONED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, 2023. THE STUDENT CABINET CONSISTS OF TEN STUDENTS ACROSS ALL FOUR GRADE LEVELS, 9 THROUG 12, IN REPRESENTING A VARIETY O ON SITE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS INCLUDING SHOW CHOIRS, SPORTS, ADVANCED PLACEMENT, NEWSPAPER, AND ART ACADEMY. IT COEXISTS WITH EXISTING STUDENT BODIES BU RETAINS AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE FUNCTION FROM ASB. THE STUDENT CABINET IS TASKED WITH GATHERIN STUDENT INPUT ON SITE LEVEL ISSUES AND RESEARCHING POTENTIA SOLUTIONS. THUS FAR WE HAVE DISCUSSED TOPICS SUCH AS THE 2023 THROUGH 2024 BLOCKED BELL SCHEDULE, SCHOOL SAFETY, AND TH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW SCHOO WIDE APP. WE MEET REGULARLY AT LAUNCH WHERE MR. DIAZ OVERSEES OUR DISCUSSIONS, BUT WE CULTIVATE DISCUSSIONS PRIMARILY STUDENT-LED. OUR TOWN HALL MEETINGS TAKE PLACE DURING LUNC AND ARE OPEN TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY AND ARE A SAFE PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS. ONLY A COUNSELO IS PRESENT, AND THE REST OF THE TOWN HALL MEETING IS LED BY THE STUDENT CABINET. THEY'RE INSTRUMENTAL IN IDENTIFYING STUDENT CONCERNS, GAUGING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, AND COMMUNICATING SUCH FINDINGS TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. BY INCORPORATING STUDENT CABINETS INTO THE REVISED POLICY, WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR A STUDENT CABINE AT EACH SECONDARY SCHOOL. AND,

[02:55:05]

CONCERN THIS PAST YEAR. >> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THE STUDENTS GET PROPER TRAINING WITH THEIR ROLE. STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS ARE A KEY TO THE STRUCTURE THE TRAINING SHALL CONSIST OF TEN HOURS FOR A STUDENT BOARD MEMBER RESPECTIVELY. IF THERE'S MORE THAN ONE TRUSTEE, THE REQUIREMENT CAN BE DONE BY TRAINING THEM TOGETHER OVER THE COURSE OF VARIOUS SESSIONS BOTH VIRTUALLY AND IN PERSON. UPON COMPLETION OF TRAINING, STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS SHALL UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOL OPERATION. SO, ON INTERESTING THING THAT CAME UP DURING ONE OF OUR EARLY MEETING WITH THE BOARD LEADERSHIP IS TH IDEA THAT SCHOOLS ENCOURAGE THEIR SCHOOLS TO HAVE THAT EXTRACURRICULAR, THAT ONE THING THEY DO. MANY STUDENTS HAVE THEIR MAIN EXTRACURRICULAR LIKE SPORTS, BE AN OFFICER IN A SERVICE CLUB, PRESIDENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE INCLUDING OR HAVE A DUAL ENROLLMENT. EVER STUDENT HAS THEIR THING. SO WHE WE TALK ABOUT THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER POSITION, THAT ROLE IS GOING TO BE THAT STUDENTS' MAIN EXTRACURRICULAR. GIVEN OUR POLICY CURRENTLY ALLOWS CREDIT, IT'S REASONABLE FOR STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WITH AN EXTRACURRICULAR COMES A SET OF RULES AND SKILLS AND PROTOCOLS THEY HAVE TO LEARN. SO A THOROUGH AND RELEVANT ORIENTATION SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO SERVE IN THIS POSITION. ALSO, I BELIEVE IT'S BEST THAT THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE ACCURATE AND RELEVANT INFORMATION FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OR BOARD LEADERSHIP RATHER THAN LOOK FOR CONTEXT IN INFORMATION FROM LES RELIABLE OR BIASED SOURCES. THEY'RE MINORS AND SHOULDN'T BE

[03:00:38]

[03:10:11]

[03:10:11]

>> MY RACE IN QUESTION IS FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT IS WHAT WOUL YOU LIKE VICE PRESIDENT TO LOOK BACK.'S WORK THE QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER HE HAD A RESOLUTION PROMOTIONS IS A BIG PART OF IT.

WE CAN PASS SOMETHING RIGHT NOW FOR THE POLICY BUT IT SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO A RESOLUTION TO ACTUALLY CONFORM WITH THE CODE.

THINK THERE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO IRON OUT SO THAT WHEN WE ARE DOING WE ARE NOT COMING RIGHT BACK TO IT.

>> BUT THE THING IS THAT THE CURRENT BOARD POLICY THAT WE HAVE AGREED SO THAT THEY STORE BOARDMEMBER MAY MAKE MOTIONS THAT MAY BE ACTED UPON BY THE BOARD EXCEPT FOR MATTERS DEALIN WITH EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE RELATION AT ALL OF THOSE ARE CLOSED SESSION ITEMS. WE ARE TAUGHT TALKING OPEN SESSION. IS A RIGH

TO MAKE THE MOTIONS. >> WE CAN ALLOW THEM TO.

>> IT IS IN THE BOARD BY LOG. I IS THEIR. I'M JUST SAYING THAT

WE CAN WORK THIS OUT. >> AND GENERAL COUNSEL.

>> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. IN ORDER TO AUTHORIZE MOTIONS TO B MADE BY THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER A RESOLUTION MUST BE PASSED BY THE BOARD ALLOWING IT. I THINK THE QUESTION IS, WAS THERE EVER A RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE BOARD. A POLICY BEING PASSED WOULD NOT QUALIFY AS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THAT ACTION. I THINK THAT WAS THE CLARIFYING QUESTION THAT WAS

BEING ASKED. >> AND AGAIN, IN MY TIME, I DON'T KNOW OF ANY RESOLUTION THAT WAS MADE OR ATTACHED.

>> IF I MAY, IS THE ONLY CONCER IS ABOUT THAT RESOLUTION, I WOULD SUGGEST ATTACHING THAT IS AN ACTION ITEM AT THE NEXT BOAR MEETING BECAUSE OF THAT IS THE ONLY CONCERN, THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED THAT QUICKLY ARE THER ANY OTHER CONCERNS ABOUT THE POSITION OTHER THAN THE RIGHT T MAKE MOTIONS?

>> I HAVE ONE CONCERN. THAT WAS MY QUESTION FOR YOU. IS THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER REQUIRED TO ACT WITH THE BROWN ACT. WE KEEP HEARING DIFFERENT THINGS AND IF THEY ARE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THIS BYLAW THAT STATES THAT. THAT THEY MUST FOLLOW THE BROWN ACT. YES OR NO

>> MAY BE A POINT OF ORDER. BECAUSE THIS IS CREEPING INTO WHAT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH PICNIC YOUR QUESTION WOULD BE ADDRESSED WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE ITEM. THAT WE GO BEST TO GO THROUGH AND WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT.

>> AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED THE SUBCOMMITTEE AT THI

POINT. SPOT GOT IT. >> MY QUESTION WAS JUST FOR THE SEXUAL WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT THIS SECOND.

>> THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY. THE PRODUCT DOES NOT APPLY TO HIM. THEY'RE NOT IN CLOSED SESSION.

THE VOTE IS NOT A VOTE THAT ACTUALLY COUNTS TOWARDS THE FINAL TALLY. THE BROWN ACT DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM. THAT IS PART OF THE AD CODE AS WELL TOWARDS THE SECTION.

>> IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THEM WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ON IT'S YOU ARE SAYING IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> EVEN IF THERE ME DAYS, WHAT IS ARE THERE IS MORE ROBERTS TOOLS ORDER IN TERMS OF MAKING MOTIONS, AMENDMENTS AND SO ON.

THE PRODUCT IS GENERALLY SOMETHING THAT IS MORE OUTSIDE.

THE QUORUMS DEVELOPED BY COUNSE 13 MORE BOARD MEMBERS MEET AND DISCUSS CITY ITEMS. THERE IS TH POTENTIAL THERE TO MAKE A DECISION. BECAUSE THERE IS THRE VOTES WITH THE MAJORITY. THAT I CONSPIRACY OF THE BROWN ACT. TH BROWN ACT APPLIES MORE OUTSIDE OF A BOARD MEETING. THEM NOT BEING PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY, ANYTHING OUTSIDE WHETHER THEY ARE AT A CONFERENCE OR AT ATTENDANCE IN A MEETING WITH TW OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, THE PRESENCE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE QUORUM TO BASICALLY ENACT THE PRODUCT REGULATIONS FOR ANYTHIN HERE ON THE DAYS IS MORE RELATE TO ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER SENTENCE THEY ARE NOT ENCLOSED SESSION, THERE IS NO INFORMATIO I RECEIVED FROM THAT ANYWAYS. THERE IS NO WAY TO VIOLATE THE PRODUCT IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THA INFORMATION.

>> IF I COULD, THE POLICY MENTIONED THE TRAINING AND THERE BEING RODARTE TRAINING. THAT WOULD STILL BE IN THERE, RIGHT? EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ITS, IT IS STILL

IMPORTANT. >> OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THE PRODUCT DOES PROTECT SENSITIVE INFORMATION FROM GETTING OUT OF THE COMMUNITY. WE GET INFORMATION OR WHEN I WAS ON TH BOARD WOULD WOULD GET SENSITIVE INFORMATION IN THE FRIDAY MEMO

[03:15:01]

>> YOU THINK THAT THE POLICY INCLUDE IF WE HAVE --

>> IF THERE WAS AN ETHICAL CONFLICT LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING. THESE ARE THINGS THAT I THINK ARE JUST IMPORTANT TO NOTE. I AM ALL FOR THE POSITION. IS THERE A RATIONALE TO WHY IT NEEDS TO BE TONIGHT A OPPOSED TO ADDING IN A RESOLUTION AND KIND OF DOING IT ALTOGETHER? I KNOW BEFORE SCHOO

STARTS, BUT YOU TELL ME. >> WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TO PAS ANYTHING TONIGHT. WE WERE GIVIN YOU WITH THE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO CONSTRUCTION WITH WHAT LEGAL COUNSEL HAS PUT FORWARD AND WE WERE EXPLAINING TO YOU WHY WE THINK YOU SHOULD INCLUDE REVISIONS WITH LEGAL COUNSEL'S SO THAT WHEN YOU VOTED TO THE NEXT MEETING YOU WILL UNDERSTAN WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT THAT'S COMPLETELY REVISED POLICY. IF WE WERE TO TAKE ACTION, OR IF WE WERE TO START LOOKING INTO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT PUTTING MORE GUIDELINES FOR HOW THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER WILL HANDLE SENSITIVE INFORMATION INTO THAT KIND OF THING, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO, IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A SECOND READ AROUND, WITH WORK ON GETTING TH LANGUAGE DOWN. THE IDEA IS WHY WE ARE EXPRESSING THIS AS AN URGENCY IS BECAUSE ELECTIONS AR HAPPENING IN AUGUST. AND DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE FIRST MEETING OF AUGUST IS? THAT IS THE DAY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. IT WOULD BE VERY HARD FOR THE DOCTOR --

>> THE ELECTION FOR THIS CYCLE AS THIS IS THE ONLY CYCLE BECAUSE WE CLEANED THIS UP. NEX YEAR IS THE NORMAL TYPE. THIS TIME AROUND ELECTIONS HAVE TO OCCUR WHEN THE STUDENT IS ON CAMPUS. SO TIMING WISE THERE IS NO WAY WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS DONE TO GET THE BOARD MEMBERS ELECTED BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THERE. WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH THA WITH THE SCHOOL IS THERE AND WORK WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND DIRECT PEOPLE TO SAY ONE TO THE ELECTION PROCESS SOMEWHERE IN THE FALL AROUND THEIR THAT WE KNOW WHERE WE START THE MEETING AT TUFTS BUT THE PROCESS OF ELECTIONS I THINK WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY IS ARE WE GOING T BE READY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS

BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. >> I APPRECIATED THAT CLARIFICATION. THE SUBCOMMITTEE MIGHT WORK AND IT MIGHT NOT BUT IF IT SEWS THINGS OUT, I HAVE HEARD A LOT TODAY AND I'M NOT OPPOSED BUT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION PART OF IT AS WELL. THANK YOU. AND I THINK IT IS TIME FOR LEGAL SPOT COUNSEL

SPEAK. >> I BELIEVE THE MEMBER HAS

ANOTHER QUESTION. >> THIS IS THE FIRST READING AN I REALLY DO NEED TO LOOK AT THIS, BUT I KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TRAIN YOU BEFORE YOU ARE SWORN

IN. >> YES. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WITH THE 60 DAYS, THE TWO MONTH WITH THAT HAS A MIND, WHO DID LONG-TERM WITH THE POLICY OF TH THINGS WE PUT FORWARD INSTEAD O JUST SAYING ONE WE USE THE TERMS CONFERENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL AND ALL OTHER SECONDARY SCHOOLS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE INCLUSIVE OF THE POLICY LESS AS LONG AS SOME OF THE OTHERS DO SOMETHING THAT HAVE BEEN REVISE WITH 2013 WITH THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT WE DON'T KNOW HOW OU SCHOOLS WILL LOOK AT THE FUTURE WE WANTED TO BE AS FORWARD THINKING AS POSSIBLE WITH THAT'S. WHEN WE SAID 60 DAYS, WHAT WE MEANT WAS IN THE FUTURE WHEN ELECTIONS ARE HELD IN THE SPRING LIKE WHEN I WAS A LOOK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THAT FIRST MONTH OF SUMMER AND JUNE AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE JULY OF THE MONTH THEY WERE SORTED WE DID NOT SEE MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH TRAINING BLEEDING OVER WANT TO THEY WERE SWORN IN BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I DO THIS TRAINING. I DI THIS TRAINING OF THE 21ST IT WA ONE ANOTHER FOR THE 60 DAYS IS MAXIMUM. THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE DESIGNEE THE BOARD PRESIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE TRAINING EARLIER AS SOON AS

[03:20:01]

ARE THE STUDENTS DOING. >> I DO WANT TO MAKE A

RECOMMENDATION. >> I AM GOOD.

>> UNDER THAT SAME PARAGRAPH, I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT I THINK WE CAN HOPEFULLY MAKE IT WORK WITH THE 60 DAYS. BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND WE CHANGE THE LANGUAG THAT IS ON HERE, INSTEAD OF IT BEING THE SUPERINTENDENT BOARD OF EDUCATION PRESIDENT OR OTHER DESIGNEE TO ACTUALLY STRIKE THA PORTION OUT AND SAY GENERAL COUNSEL BECAUSE GENERAL COUNSEL IS THE BEST PERSON TO GIVE YOU THAT TRAINING. SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ILLEGALLY CAN TEL US, DECIPHER, AND GIVE US ALL O THESE PARAMETERS. ILLEGALLY.

I'M NOT SURE THAT I AS A BOARD MEMBER WOULD INTERPRET IT CORRECTLY, IS WHAT I AM SAYING. IF WE HAVE OUR GENERAL COUNSEL DO IT, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE THAT HE IS GOING TO GIVE EVERY STUDENT BOARDMEMBER THE SAME TRAINING.

>> I AM SORRY. BOARDMEMBER MAYR GARZA, CS BA OFFER TRAINING AS THEY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TRAININGS. THEY HAVE TRAININGS ONLINE. THEY HAVE REGULARLY SCHEDULED TRAININGS BECAUSE THE KNOW THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS ARE HERE. YOU THINK THAT WOULD -- I WOULD NOT WANT TO USE GENERAL COUNSEL'S TIME TO TRAIN THEN ON THE CS BA RULES, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. IT IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED WITH CS BA. THEY JUST HAVE TO ACCESS IT.

>> IF I COULD TOTAL TWO THINGS. STARTING OFF WITH THE TRAN40 WORKSHOPS. THEY DO OFFER WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. HOWEVER, THOSE ARE NOT NECESSARILY FAIRLY FREQUENT ALL OF THE TIME IT INTO SOMETHING THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER HAS TO TAKE ON THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE T GO AND FIND THE WEBSITE. SIGN U FOR IT. ATTEND THE ZOOM CALL. SOME OF THE TRAININGS ARE IN PERSON AND YOU HAVE TO GO TO CONFERENCES THAT COST MONEY. WE WANTED THE ORIENTATION TO BE IN HOUSE. WE WANTED IT TO BE GETTING TO THE SECOND PART NOW, AS RELEVANT AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER WILL BE DOING. IF YOU NOTICED IN SOME O THE SUBJECTS IN WHICH WE WERE HOPING THAT THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER WOULD BE TRAINED IN WE HAVE STANDARDS FOR EXPECTATIONS OF PROFESSIONALISM. OR HOW TO APPROPRIATELY INTERACT WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. AND I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER'S TRAINING IS CONSISTENT. WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT BOARD MEMBERS OVER TH YEARS AND IF THE TRAINING OVER TIME IS LIKE A GAME OF TELEPHONE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS AS CONSISTENT AS POSSIBLE C LEGAL COUNSEL GETTING INTO TH NITTY-GRITTY REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF IT'S NO BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT OR SOME MEMBER O THE BOARD IS INVOLVED IN THE TRAINING TO BRING INTO A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THE STUDENT WILL BE SERVING THIS COMMUNITY AND THEY NEED TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY. I WONDER HOW WE WOUL BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH HAVING REQUIRING LEGAL COUNSEL AND ALS SAYING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT MAYBE WE COULD DO THAT. LEGAL COUNSEL AND ANOTHER DESIGNEE.

THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS. >> I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF BUT I THINK REALLY QUICK, MAYBE I MISSED -- MISHEARD. TO THINK LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD HAVE A ROL IT IS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE WOULD CREATE AS A TRAINING MAYB SOMEBODY INTERNAL CAN OVERTURN IT. NO OFFENSE BUT THAT WOULD B REALLY EXPENSIVE TRAINING FOR $10 FOR EACH OF YOU. MORE THAN HAVING THEM INVOLVED IN WHAT IS TRADED MABEL USE A LADY UTILIZING RESOURCES AND MAKING OUR OWN TOUR WE CAN ALL SEE THE TRAINING BUT MAYBE SOMEBODY INTERNAL ACTUALLY DOES THE TRAINING. KIND OF MARRYING THE

TWO THINGS. >> THE WAY THAT I'M LOOKING AT IT, IT IS A CURRICULUM. I'M SAYING THIS BECAUSE I TOOK OVER THIS WHEN THEY YOU ARE IN PLACE BUT THERE ARE NORMALLY TRAINING FOR BOARD MEMBERS. IT IS A CURRICULUM. IS NOT GOING TO BE AS VAST AS WHAT TO DO WITH THE GENERAL BOARD MEMBERS BUT WE CA TALK ABOUT, THIS IS WHAT A STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL IS.

THIS IS WHAT THE CABINET IS. THESE ARE THE AREAS YOU SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT. NOT IN THIS AREA. AND THAT IF WE WANT TO BRING IN LEGAL PIECES ABOUT THE BROWN ACT, THAT IS ANOTHER UNIT

[03:25:03]

THOSE THINGS I THINK THEY NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THE STUFF AND HOW THE OLD SYSTEM

WORKS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> YES. I THINK THAT ALL NEW BOARD MEMBERS WOULD LOVE THAT TRAINING ALSO. I AM SEEING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND I AGREE THER ARE THOSE RESOURCES. I REMEMBER BUT IF I REALLY TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE TRAINING THAT I GOT, IT WASN'T AS COMFORTABLE AS THE ON WE GOT THROUGH OUR LOW. THAT IS WHY I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA THAT WE HAVE PERHAPS OUR STAFF WORK WITH GENERAL COUNSEL TO CREATE SOMETHING LIKE WHAT THE

WERE SUGGESTING. >> TO WANT TO SHIFT GEARS INTO WHAT LEGAL COUNSEL IS GOING TO PRESENT?

>> MAYBE TAKE US THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THAT

SERVER BUT IS CLEAR. >> A STUDENT BOARDMEMBER POSITION IS GOVERNED BY THE EDUCATION CODE SECTION 35 012.

IT BASICALLY LAYS OUT THE CRITERIA FOR BRINGING A STUDEN BOARDMEMBER ONTO THE BOARD AND THAT IS DONE THROUGH A PETITION PROCESS. THAT PROCESS BASICALLY ENTAILS GATHERING A 500 STUDENT SIGNATURES FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL AND IN SOME CASES JUST THE SCHOOLS WITHIN THE DISTRICT OR 10% OF THE STUDENTS REGULARLY ENROLLED. WHICHEVER IS LOWER. W ADDED LANGUAGE TO INCLUDE IN TH PETITION PORTION REGULARLY ENROLLED IN HIGH SCHOOLS OF THE DISTRICT. BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT THERE PRIOR AND ALSO WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THAT, THE BOARD ONCE THEY RECEIVED THE PETITION, THE HAVE 60 DAYS TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY APPROVE A SINGLE STUDENT, OR IF THE PETITION REQUESTS MOR THAN ONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY APPROVE MULTIPLE STUDENTS THERE THE PETITIONER HAD BEEN FILED PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED AT LEAST TWO STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. BUT THE BOARD ALWAYS HAS THE OPTION TO ONLY ELECT ONE BUT YOU HAVE TO ELECT AT LEAST ONE STUDENT BOARD POSITION. HAVING SAID THA CHANGE IT TO TWO OR THREE OR WHATEVER IT DESIRES BUT THE PETITION HAS TO ASK FOR MORE THAN ONE TO BE GRANTED, AND IT DID IN THIS CASE. KIND OF GOING BACK TO THAT AS WELL, IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THE TERM THAT THE STUDENT BOARDMEMBER SERVES, IT IS GENERALLY A ONE-YEAR TERM FROM JULY FIRST THROUGH JUNE 30TH. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS YOU CAN VARY THE TERM TO ALLOW FOR ALTERNATE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS TO BE PRESENT AT THE BOARD MEETING. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE THREE, ONE CAN ATTEND THE FIRST MEETING, THE SECOND FOR THE SECOND AND THEN THE THIRD O THAT JUST REPEATS THAT MATTER.

IF THERE ARE 24 MEETINGS IN A YEAR, EACH ONE WILL ATTEND ROUGHLY 8 MEETINGS. THAT IS A DECISION FOR THE BOARD TO MAKE IN TERMS OF HOW YOU WISH TO PROCEED WITH THE ELECTION OF STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP O KEEP IT AT ONE, THAT IS A BOARD POSITION DECISION. THAT IS A POLICY DECISION. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT WAS TH AD CODE TALKS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE STUDENT HAS TO BE ENROLLED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER TO SERVE. THE PROBLEM IS, ONCE THE STUDENT GRADUATES, THE ARE NO LONGER ENROLLED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. THAT CREATES THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. LOOKING AT THI ISSUE, IF THE BOARD DECIDED TO EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP, IT CAN EITHER INSTITUTE RULES THE CALL FOR EARLY ELECTIONS, THAT WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO FILL THAT POSITION, SHOULD THERE BE THREE SENIORS ACTING AS STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS, OR IT CAN DESIGNATE THAT'S ONE OF THE POSITIONS HAS TO BE A NON-SENIOR. A JUNIOR, A SOPHOMORE, A FRESHMAN. SO THAT INDIVIDUAL CAN COVER THE REST O THE MEETINGS THAT THE OTHERS MIGHT BE PRECLUDED BECAUSE THEY HAVE GRADUATED. WE ALSO KIND OF ADDED CHANNEL AND CODE SECTIONS TO COMPLY WITH EACH PORTION OF THE POLICY THAT WE BASICALLY AMENDED AND THAT IS JUST TO GIV CLARIFICATION AS TO WHERE THE AUTHORITY COMES FROM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BOARD HAS

[03:30:05]

>> THANK YOU. >> BOARDMEMBER.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. A FIRM BELIEVER THAT YOU DESIGNATE THE REST OF THE BEST NO MATTER WHAT GRADE THEY ARE IN. IT WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DESIGNATED THA WE HAVE A SPECIFIC GRADE LEVEL.

CANDIDATE BE CHANGED SO IT IS NOT JULY FIRST SO THEY CAN STAR EARLIER AND NOT HAVE TO CONFLIC WITH THEM NOT BEING A MEMBER OF

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. >> UNFORTUNATELY THE CODE REQUIRES THAT THE TERM START JULY FIRST. IT DOES NOT GIVE AN

WIGGLE ROOM IN THAT REGARD. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> NO QUESTIONS. >> AT THIS POINT I DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS EITHER. THIS BEIN THE FIRST READING, WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DIGEST THIS AND THEN COME BACK TO THE SECOND READING AND HOPEFULLY MAKE -- AND

>> I THINK WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS, I WILL COLLABORATE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND WE WILL AND THE SECOND READING WE WILL TRY TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THE STUDENTS BROUGHT FORWARD TO SEE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED OR WE CAN BRING THAT

[03:35:03]

AND >> IN THE MEANWHILE, WE WILL WORK ON ADDRESSING SOME OF THE POINTS, THAT WE HAD QUESTIONS WITH BRAD CRIHFIELD ON IT THAT WE ADDING NEW RELATIONS TO THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS HOW TO HANDLE SENSITIVE INFORMATION, TRYING TO GET THEM AS CLOSE TO THE BROWN CODE WITHOUT REQUIRIN THEM TO BE LEGALLY BOUND TO THE BROWN ACT. YOU WILL GET THAT AN AND BRING IT BACK TO LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IF IT WOULD HELP, IF IT IS THE BOARD'S INTENT TO ALLOW THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE MOTIONS THAN I WOULD, I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD PLACE IT TO ADVISE BUT TO BRING THE MOTION FORWARD TO THE NEXT MEETING TO PASS IT I GET OUT OF THE WAY. AND AFTER THAT, WE WIL HAVE THE SECOND READING AND ALYSSA AND I WILL BE THERE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. FOR THE SECOND READING, WILL THAT BE ABLE TO BE PUT ON THE AGENDA FO THE NEXT REGULAR BOARD MEETING? I AM CONCERNED THAT IF WE KEEP PUSHING THIS BACK AND READING AND READING, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN JULY AND WE WANT TO GET THIS DONE. AS A POSSIBLE TO SAY THAT WILL BE ADDED ON THE

NEXT MEETING? >> I INTEND IT TO. 90 TIMING WE ARE DEALING WITH. I GUESS THE WAY THAT I AM LOOKING AT IT, I CAN HAVE IT READY ON A DOCKET O CONSENT KNOWING THAT WE ARE STILL GOING TO DELIBERATE IN PERSON WE CAN PULL IT AND DISCUSS IT AND VOTE ON IT THE SAME NIGHT TOGETHER WAS A HAVE TO WAIT TO ANOTHER MEETING TO PUT IN AS AN ACTION ITEM. DOES

THAT MAKE SENSE? >> YES. IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ON IT THEN YOU CAN PUT ON THE CONSENT, PULL TH ITEM, DISCUSS IT. IF ANY REVISIONS ARE MADE, THEY CAN BE MADE ON THE SPOT AND YOU CAN STILL VOTE ON IT. JUST MOTIONS WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS IN THEM YOU COULD TAKE A VOTE ON IT NEX MEETING WAS TO MAKING ANY CORRECTIONS LIKE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE POLICY OF THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD IS IN

ACCORDANCE. >> IT IF WE DO NOT, WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER FULL MEETING UNTIL MID-AUGUST BEFORE WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN. CORRECT?

>> YES. >> UNLESS YOU PUT IT IN A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO DO THAT I

THE MIDDLE OF JULY. >> I WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT. EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING W NEED TO HANDLE AND IT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO RIGHT AWAY OR WE ARE GOING TO BE LACKING FOR MANY MONTHS WITHOUT HER STUDENT BOARDMEMBER WHICH DOES GIVE US VALUABLE INFORMATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SE THIS ON THE AGENDA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND VOTED UPON AS SOON

AS POSSIBLE. >> I WANT TO SEE IT EVEN SOONER THAN THAT. I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THE CLOSEST THAT WE CAN GET TO AS CLOSE IT TO THE FINAL DRAFT LIKE IN A MEMO SO THAT WE HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT IT I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO SPEED THE PROCESS UP AS FAR AS THE LIBERATING.

>> THAT IS WHERE THE SUBCOMMITTEE CONCEPT CAN HELP.

IN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. THAT W ARE WE ARE NOT SEEING IT FRESH.

>> I AM GOING TO REVISIT THAT NOW AND SEE, IS THE BOARD AN AGREEMENT TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS THAT WE DO APPOINT A SU COMMITTEE? BOARDMEMBER ARMSTRONG?

>> SURE. WE CAN APPOINT A SUB COMMITTEE.

>> BOARDMEMBER? >> I'M OKAY WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE BUT I GUESS I'M STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND WHITE WE ARE DOING AT WORK I HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD ANY REASON WHY WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING OUR RIGHT WE ARE NOT OR WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH THE

COMMITTEE. >> IT IS TO HELP US EXPEDITE TH CONVERSATIONS INSTEAD OF CURATING IT, WHICH FIVE PEOPLE ON THE DAIS. IF WE DO IT WITH A SUB COMMITTEE AND CURATED THEIR OF RACE YOU CANNOT COMMUNICATE IT OR WE WOULD HAVE PICKED OFF TWO BOARD MEMBERS AND WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT FOR THE REST OF THE DELIBERATION TO OCCUR. THEY CAN AID IN TRAVELING TO HELP EXPLAIN SO THAT WE DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE OF HAVING TO BRIN IT BACK TO ANOTHER BOARD MEETING. IT WILL HELP US FOR US TO PUT IT AS A CONTENT ITEM SO THAT WAY IT IS READY IN THE

QUEUE FOR A VOTE. >> SO WHAT I'M HEARING WE ARE WORKING AT LANGUAGE THAT IS WHA WE ARE LOOKING AT. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT WE NEED A SUBCOMMITTEE TO LOOK AT. THAT I

WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. >> STRICTLY THE LANGUAGE.

>> THEN WE ARE SAYING THIS LANGUAGE IS SOMETHING WE DO NOT AGREE WITH AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO LOOK FURTHER UPON.

YES? >> I THINK THERE HAS BEEN A

[03:40:02]

>> IT IF I COULD. I COULD SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD SPEAK FOR ALYSSA BUT I KNOW THAT I WOULD BE WELCOME WILLIAM TO SUPPORT THE DOCTOR AND THE BOARD IN ANY WAY FEEL NEW CLARIFYING LANGUAGE AND LIK WE TALKED ABOUT, WE HAD ALSO COME UP WITH OUR OWN LANGUAGE - I'M NOT SURE. I THINK HONESTLY IT IS BEST IF IT IS LEFT TO LEGAL COUNSEL FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE POLICIE OF THE BROWN ACT WITHOUT IT BEING THE BROWN ACT THINK THAT COULD BE SOMETHING YOU GUYS COULD LOOK AT. BUT AGAIN IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE STUDENT VOICE AND CONVERSATIONS TO DETERMINE THE POSITION THAT BRINGS STUDENT VOICE IT TO THE TABLE. WE WILL BE PRESENT WHERE I WILL SPEAK FOR MYSELF AND MAYBE ALYSSA, I WILL BE PRESENT TO HELP IF YOU NEED ANYTHING AN I WILL BE IN COMMUNICATION.

>> I CAN DEFINITELY AGREE. CHRI AND I HAVE BEEN DEDICATING THE PAST TWO WEEKS TO THIS MEETING AND ALSO ON THE CALL WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. I THINK THAT'S WE ARE FULLY INVESTED IN THIS AND IF YOU NEED ANY MORE CLARIFICATION ON ANY OF THE LANGUAGE THAT HAS COME UP THUS FAR, WE CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE

CLARIFICATION. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. BOARDMEMBER ARMSTRONG.

BOARDMEMBER STUART. ARE YOU GUY STILL ABLE TO TAKE ON THIS SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTMENT? YOU CAN SAY NO IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO. US LIKE THIS WOULD BE MY THIRD TIME SAYING YES. I'M READ

TO SAY NO. >> THANK YOU BOARDMEMBER

ARMSTRONG. BOARDMEMBER STUART? >> DO I HAVE TO MAKE THAT

DECISION RIGHT NOW? >> KNOW. I THINK YOU CAN GET

BACK TO ME. >> I'M SORRY. VICE PRESIDENT BRAD CRIHFIELD, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING?

>> NO. >> TO WE HAVE TO ARRIVE AT A DECISION FOR TWO OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS.

>> YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT THIS EVENING. THE PRESIDENT CAN

APPOINT AT ANY TIME. >> PERFECT.

>> ONE OTHER QUESTION. COUNSEL IS GOING TO BE A PART OF THE COMMITTEE. IT IS WANT TO BE SURE?

>> THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME O THAT. WHEN WE APPOINT THE SUBCOMMITTEE IT WOULD BE THE SUPERINTENDENT, OUR GENERAL

COUNSEL HAD TWO BOARD MEMBERS. >> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONG AND DRAWN OUT. IN LOOKING AT THIS AS A ONE FINAL LOOK AND WE WILL COMBINE THE LANGUAGES WITH ONE FINAL LOOK AT IF IT LOOKS GOOD AND WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMEN MAKES MY JOB EASIER TO BE ABLE TO POST IT AS AN ACTION ITEM. THE CONVERSATIONS ON THE DAIS

WOULD BE ALONG. >> I AM JUST ASKING. SINCE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE COUNSEL, WE HAVE LANGUAGE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT PRESSURE ON MY COLIC TO SAY YES, BUT DO WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO BOARD MEMBERS . TO MAKE A COMMITTEE YOU NEED MORE THAN ON PERSON. AND YOU DON'T COUNT. WE CAN WANT YOU TO COUNT. I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU ON THIS BECAUSE YOU GET IT. YOU WANT THIS AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE RIGHT

>> I WILL WORK ON THE COMMITTEE >> I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

YOU WILL GET IT RIGHT FOR OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU

ALL. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOARD MEMBERS AND GENERAL COUNSEL AND

STUDENTS AND STAFF. >> OUR LAST PRESENTATION IS TH REVISED BOARD POLICY 5145-12. SEARCH AND SEIZURE AND I WILL

[03:45:03]

>> THANK YOU. I WILL TRY TO GO TO THIS AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBL AND ESSENTIALLY BASED ON THE EARLIER PRESENTATIONS, SHOULD THE DISTRICT MOVE WITH IMPLEMENTING ANY OF THE SAFETY MEASURES, WE WOULD ALWAYS LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPORTING ARE POLICIES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE UP TO THE INAPPROPRIATE. THIS POLICY 5145.12 WAS LAST UPDATED IN 201 AND I WILL BE ASKING THE BOARD FOR INPUT REGARDING THE POLICY DEVELOPMENT. SHOULD SHE HAVE AN INPUT THIS EVENING OR YOU CAN PROVIDE ANY INPUT AT A LATER TIME. WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE T TAKE THE BOARDS AND PUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLICY. I'M GOING TO BE READING IT SO BE ABLE TO REFERENCE IT. I WILL BE GOING THROUGH THE MAJOR REVISIONS OF THE POLICIES WHICH ARE ITALICIZED. AND FOR THE BOARD AND COMMITTEE AWARENESS.

THE POLICY ADDRESSES THE PROCES OF CONDUCTING STUDENT SEARCHERS THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE SHOULD ENSURE THAT STAFF WILL CONDUCT CERTAIN SEARCHES RECEIV TRAINING REGARDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DISTRICT POLICY. ESSENTIALLY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ADD THAT LANGUAGE TO THE POLICY THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. THE NEED FOR ONGOING STAFF TRAINING AT THIS WOULD DOCUMENT THE FACT THAT WE WOULD DO THAT AND THE POLICY WOULD NOTE THAT. GOING ON, IN THE AREA OF SEARCHES OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS, THESE TYPES, IN THIS SECTION, THE UPDATE USER REGARDING LIVES AND LOCATIONS FOR STUDENT SEARCHES FOR THE TYPES OF STUDENT PROPERTY THAT MAY BE SEARCHED B SCHOOL IF IT IS INCLUDED BUT NO LIMITED TO LOCKERS, DESKS, PURSES, BACK COMMENT TO THE VEHICLES OF THE PROPERTY. THAT IS THE SCOPE IN WHICH WE WILL CONDUCT SEARCHES. AND GOING ONT THE NEXT AREA, THE SECOND ITEM DISCUSSES THE PROCESS FOR SEARCHING CELL PHONES BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND ADHERING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF ACCESSING THE INFORMATION'S AND STUDENTS ELECTRONIC DEVICES. THIS SPEAKS TO THE POLICY IN WHICH A STUDENT'S PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE MAY BE SEARCHED ONLY IF SCHOOL OFFICIAL IN GOOD FAITH BELIEVES THAT AN EMERGENCY INVOLVED THE DANGER OF DEATH OR SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY TO THE STUDENT OR OTHERS REQUIRES ACCESS TO THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INFORMATION. TYPICALLY THE PROCESS IS, ADMINISTRATION WOUL TYPICALLY ASK THE STUDENT IF THEY CAN SEE THEIR PHONE WITH CONSENT OF THE STUDENT, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND LOOK INTO THE PHON ARE TYPICALLY WE WOULD WORK WIT PARENTS, SHOULD THERE BE ANY BU ULTIMATELY WOULD BE BASED ON TH PARENTS AUTHORIZATION OF ALLOWING US TO LOOK INTO THE PHONE BUT ESSENTIALLY IN PRACTICALITY, THE ADMINISTRATIO WOULD TYPICALLY REQUEST CONSENT FROM A STUDENT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE PHONE AND IF THERE IS A CONCERN AND WE WILL WORK WITH THE FAMILIES IN REGARDS TO THAT. SELECT THE NEXT SECTION HAS TWO DO WITH THE METAL DETECTORS WITH THE SECTION ADDRESSES CITY THE CITY IS A METAL DETECTOR IN THE FUTURE. POLICY WOULD ALLOW THAT THE PRACTICE OF THE BOARD FINDS THE PRESENCE OF WEAPONS AND SCHOOLS THE DISTRICT THEY SAVE AND THE LEARNING OF A TWIST DISTRICT, STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE ENTITLED TO THE BOARD ALSO FINDS METAL DETECTOR SEARCHES OFFERS A REASONABLE MEANS TO KEEP UP WIT OUT OF SCHOOLS AND TO MITIGATE THE FEARS OF STUDENTS AND STAFF THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE SHALL USE METAL DETECTORS AS NECESSARY TO KEEP UP WITH OUT O SCHOOLS AND WILL PROVIDE A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT DESIGNEE SHALL ESTABLISH A PLAN TO ENSURE THAT METAL DETECTOR SEARCHES ARE CONDUCTED IN A UNIFORM AND CONSISTENT MATTER. THAT IS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE THE POLICY WOULD INCLUDE AND THE LAST SECTION HAS TO DO WITH THE CONTRABAND THE SECOND DETECTION DOGS WITH THE SECTION ADDRESSES SHOULD THE DISTRICT USE CANINES IN THE FUTURE BUT THE POLICY WOULD ALLOW FOR THIS PRACTICE.

IN AN EFFORT SIMILAR TO THE OTHER ONE, AN EFFORT TO KEEP OU SCHOOLS FREE FROM ANY DANGEROUS CONTRABAND, THE DISHES TO BE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NONAGGRESSIVE DOGS TO SNIFF OUT AND ALERT STAFF TO THE PRESENCE OF ANY SUBSTANCE PROHIBITED BY LAW OR BOARD POLICY. ISSUES ARE THE EARLIER PRESENTATION, YOU HAD AN EXAMPLE, AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE THE PRACTICE. THIS POLICY WOULD ALLOW US TO GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT THE POLICY SHOULD THE BOARD GIVE US DIRECTION TO.

>> IT ULTIMATELY, THESE AS PRESENTED ARE THE MAJOR REVISIONS TO THE POLICY AND WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BUT ONCE THE POLIC IS FINALIZED, WE PLAN TO USE IT FOR FUTURE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR STAFF AND OU ADMINISTRATION AND HOW WE CONDUCT SEARCHES WE WANT TO BE CONSISTENT AND ADHERE TO A POLICIES WHEN WE CONDUCT STUDEN SEARCHES. AND ULTIMATELY WE WOULD ALSO ADD THIS TO PUT ANY FUTURE NOTIFICATIONS AS PART OF THE HANDBOOKS AND THINGS OF THA

[03:50:01]

>> JUST AS A HEADS UP, AND O TH QUESTION WILL COME. WHAT THE WHAT EVER YOU THINK ABOUT META DETECTORS ARE NOT. I CAN SEE A TIME IN THE FUTURE, NOT NECESSARILY NOW, BUT A TIME IN THE FUTURE WE DECIDE TO SAY LET'S AT LEAST HAVE WANTS TO GO TO DANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE WANT TO BE READY. WE ARE NOT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO USE IT. W JUST WANT TO BE READY. YOU NEVE KNOW HOW THESE THINGS WORK. WHA ABOUT A TRAGEDY OCCURS. AND EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH THIS FRENZY AND THERE IS PRESSURE TO HAVE SOMETHING. WE WANT TO BE READY IS THE REASON THAT WE

BRING THIS ON. >> AND ADJUSTED TO GIVE THE BOARD ADD ADDITIONAL AWARENESS, AND SAMPLING OTHER DISTRICTS IN OUR LOCAL AREA SCUM I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT FIVE DISTRICTS. AND OF THE FIVE, FIV OF THEM TO HAVE THE CANINE LANGUAGE IN THEIR BOARD POLICIE AND FOUR DO REFERENCE METAL DETECTORS. IT IS COMMON LANGUAG THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN DISTRICTS. BUT HOWEVER WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERSONALIZE IT TO FIT OUR DISTRICT NEEDS. W WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE BOARD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATIO OR THOUGHTS OF THESE PARTICULAR

PROPOSED REVISIONS. >> THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER

ARMSTRONG? >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. >> BOARD MEMBER STUART.

>> I WONDER IF WE HAVE ANY DATA WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS OF

USING THE METAL DETECTORS. >> THANK YOU WHICH IS LIKE THAT IS PART OF A MEMO OR RIGHT NOW INFORMATION?

>> EITHER. IF YOU HAVEN'T, I WOULD LOVE IT.

>> WE DO HAVE IT. ONE OF THE SAFETY MEASURES THAT WAS REFERENCED WAS THE USE OF METAL DETECTORS. 49% RESPONDED I SUPPORT AND ENDORSE THIS PROTOCOL IN THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. WOULD RESENT THAT I AM NEUTRAL REGARDING THI ARTICLE AND OKAY WITH WHATEVER IS DECIDED. 16% INDICATED, I SUPPORT AND ENDORSE THE PROTOCO FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND 50% INDICATED I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PROTOCOL.

>> THANK YOU. >> BOARD MEMBER BRAD CRIHFIELD.

KIND OF RANKED MUCH LOWER THAN WHAT WE WERE GOING TOWARDS YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T GET WRAPPED UP IN ALL O THE OTHER CONVERSATIONS TONIGHT FOR THIS ISN'T SOMETHING WE ARE PURSUING RIGHT NOW AND IF WE WERE EVER TO GO THAT ROUTE, THERE WOULD BE FOR THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE BOARD TO EVEN ALLO

THAT. CORRECT? >> YES.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A QUESTION. WHEN YOU STATE SCHOOL OFFICIALS, WHO DID YOU ENVISION

SCHOOL OFFICIALS WILL ENCOMPASS >> OUR ADMINISTRATION ARE THE ONES WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE SEARCHES ARE TYPICALLY THE PRACTICALITY OF THIS OCCURRING WOULD BE TWO STAFF MEMBER SEARCHING A STUDENT AND TYPICALLY WHAT I'VE SEEN IN OUR SCHOOLS IS EITHER IT WOULD EITHER BE AN ADMINISTRATION WIT SECURITY PERSONNEL OR IT COULD BE TWO ADMINISTRATORS TOGETHER.

ADMINISTRATION WITH A COUNSELOR. THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO STAFF MEMBERS CONDUCTING THE SEARCHES FOR GOES WITH THE STAF MEMBERS THAT I LISTED WHO WOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE TRAINING. IT IS TYPICALLY WHO ARE THE STAFF THAT ARE ABLE TO CONDUCT THE

SEARCHES. >> AND IF IT THESE SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE NOT PRESENT, MAYB ONE OF THEM IS MISSING. WHAT WOULD BE THE PROTOCOL AT THAT TIME?

>> AT THE SECOND LEVEL WE HAVE MULTIPLE ADMINISTRATION WHO WOULD -- IF IT IS TYPICALLY ONE FRAZIER WHO IS THE POINT PERSON FOR DISCIPLINE IF THAT PERSON I NOT A CAMPUS WE HAVE A SECONDAR PRISONER THE PRINCIPAL. WE TYPICALLY DO HAVE MULTIPLE MINISTRATIONS WOULD BE AVAILABL THE SECONDARY SCHOOL, AT THE ELEMENTARY IN THE ABSENCE OF TH PRINCIPAL, WE WOULD HAVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGNEE WHO WAS IN THE CAPACITY. THAT IS THE PART OF THE PROCESS THAT WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE TRAINING AND HAD THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, I IS COMMON WHERE THE COUNCILS COULD ALSO SERVE AS A DESIGNEE AND OTHERS WERE ONE OF THE GROUPS THAT WE WANT TO PROVIDE THIS TRAINING TO.

>> IT SAYS HERE CONDUCTING , USING GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN CONDUCTING SEARCHES. TO WE CURRENTLY HAVE PROCEDURES FOR

CONDUCTING SEARCHES? >> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY HAD ONE OF OUR LEGAL COUNCILS PROVIDE TRAINING TO OUR STAFF IN REGARD TO BEING ABLE TO CONDUCT THE PROCESS FOR SEARCHES. WE DID AS AA ALL RR TO PROVIDE TRAINING O

[03:55:04]

CONSISTENCY. >> THANK YOU. YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE FIRST TRAINING THAT WE EVER GAVE FOR CONDUCTING

SEARCHES WAS THROUGH -- >> THAT ONE THAT IS THE ONE I'V BEEN INVOLVED ONE OF THE WOULD HAVE TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH AS FAR AS WHAT HAS BEEN THE TRADIN IN THE PAST. AND TO PROVIDE MOR AWARENESS. THAT IS THE ONE THAT WE JUST RECENTLY DID THAT I WAS AWARE OF AND INVOLVED IN. I WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT HAS BEEN THE PAST PRACTICE FOR

TRAINING IN THAT AREA. >> OKAY. THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE I PURRED TONIGHT THAT AN AZTEC CAN PROVIDE TRAINING AS WELL. SO THEN THIS TIME WE USED AA I'LL RR. IS THERE GOING TO BE, A GOING BACK AND FORTH OR WOULD IT BE TOGETHER, IF WE DECIDED TO GO WITH HIM. WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL?

>> THE REGULATION WOULD BE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION FACILITATING THE TRAINING IS RECKONED WITH THAT, THEY WOULD CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND ALSO POSSIBLY INCLUDE OUTSIDE ENTITIES SUCH AS LAW ENFORCEMEN OR EVEN AS TECHNICAL ULTIMATEL IS A DISTRICT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING OU POLICIES AND PROCEDURES BUT HOWEVER, WE WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES SUCH AS LEGAL COUNSEL BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US THE GUIDANCE REGARDING THE LEGALITIES OF CONDUCTING SEARCHES AND WITH THINGS WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING A PART OF THE SEARCHES. THAT IS WHERE EVERY ENTITY COMES FROM A DIFFERENT SET OF LENSES AND WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT MAY CONDUCT A SEARCH THAT MAY OR MA NOT BE PROHIBITED BY US TO CONDUCT OR THEY MAY HAVE THEIR OWN PROTOCOLS. THAT IS WHERE OU ADMINISTRATION WOULD ALWAYS BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL ADHERE TO OUR OWN DISTRICT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. BUT WE WILL BE SEEKING THEIR INPUT ALSO. IT IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE LED BY ADMINISTRATION.

>> ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW. DONE AT THE BOTTO WHERE IT SAYS SCHOOL OFFICIALS RESEARCH AND INDIVIDUAL STUDENT REASONABLE SUSPICION. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF REASONABL

SUSPICION. >> AN EXAMPLE COULD BE A STUDEN MAY HAVE A SPECIFIC OWNER OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WHICH MAY GIVE A REASON FOR THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION TO CONDUCT A SEARCH. AND IF THEY HAVE AN ORDER. IF THEY APPEAR TO BE DISPLAYING PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT WOULD ALER SOMEBODY THAT THIS PERSON COULD BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE WE WOULD THEN CONDUCT A SEARCH TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANOTHER POSITION NOT TO POST YOU. ULTIMATELY YOU HAV TO BE CAUTIOUS WHEN YOU'RE CONDUCTING SEARCHES BECAUSE THE STUDENT COULD HAVE AN ALLERGY AND THEN WE ALWAYS HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH FAMILIES AND TO NOTIFY THEM THAT A STUDENT WAS SEARCHED AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS ALSO. THAT COULD BE AN EXAMPLE THAT SOMETIMES WE ARE GIVEN TIPS THAT A STUDENT MIGHT BE PROVIDING CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ON CAMPUS. THERE COULD BE INFORMATION WE CAN USE TO THEN GIVE US A REASONABLE SUSPICION THE STUDENT MAY HAVE SOMETHING IN THEIR POSSESSION THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WHICH COULD GIVE ADMINISTRATION TO TH ABILITY TO SEARCH A STUDENT.

LEGAL COUNSEL, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE?

>> GOING BACK TO THAT REASONABL SUSPICION IS ACTUALLY A LOWER THRESHOLD OF THAT PROBABLE CAUSE. STUDENTS ON CAMPUS HAVE REDUCED LEVEL OF EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. THAT IS WHY IT ALLOWS FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF SEARCHES THAT FOR EXAMPLE LAW ENFORCEMEN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO OUT OF THE STREET. IS THERE IS A DIFFERENT NEED AND THE WELFARE OF STUDENTS IS A TOP PRIORITY.

REASONABLE SUSPICION WOULD BE MORE A CAN TO, YOU GET A TIP THAT SOME KID HAS SOMETHING ON HIM AT SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEARCH THE BACKPACK LAW-ENFORCEMENT GETS A TIP LIKE THAT THEY CANNO GO SEARCH A VEHICLE RESEARCH A PERSON. IF YOU SMELL AN ORDER.

IF YOU SEE OBJECTIVE SYMPTOMS O INTOXICATION, FOR EXAMPLE, BASE ON TRAINING THAT FORMS PROBABLE CAUSE. THAT IS A HIGH LEVEL AND YOU ARE DEFINITELY GOOD TO GO. BASICALLY SCHOOLS ARE ALLOWED T CONDUCT SEARCHES AT A MUCH LOWE THRESHOLD THAN FOR EXAMPLE LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD IN THE OUTSID WORLD. IT GIVES A LOT MORE COVE FOR SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO ENGAG IN THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY.

>> AND I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU. IT IS POLICY, IT ALSO SAYS THAT WE AND THE ADMINISTRATION WILL LET THE

[04:00:04]

LEGALLY, IS THAT WHEN WE CAN TELL THEM, OR IS THERE ANOTHER PLACE THAT WE SHOULD BE TELLING THEM?

>> AFTER IS APPROPRIATE. GENERALLY YOU WANT TO GET TO CONCENTRIC THE PROBLEM IS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE CONCENTRIC MINORS BEING ABLE TO GIVE CONSENT. BUT THE REALITY IS, ONCE YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT THE SEARCH, CONSENT IS NO LONGER NEEDED. YOU CAN NOTIF THE PARENTS AFTERWARDS FOR PRACTICALLY SPEAKING IT IS VERY HARD TO KNOW THE NOTIFY THE BEFORE YOU CONDUCT A SEARCH. IS PERFECTLY ADMISSIBLE TO DO SO

AFTERWARDS. >> BABY SPEAK TO THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF LOCAL PRACTICE TO ACTUALLY ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY AS PARENTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION.

>> WANTS A CHILD STEPS ON SCHOO OR SOME CASES OUTSIDE YOU ARE NOW IN CUSTODY OF THAT CHILD. YOU OF CERTAIN ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT YOU NOW TAKE. AND AGAIN, LEGALLY ARE CONSIDERED ALMOST A QAS A GUARDIAN BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSON'S WELL-BEING AND THAT ASSOCIATES WITH IT CERTAIN RIGHTS CONVEYED OF THE SCHOOL TO BE ABLE TO TAK ACTION IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE SCHOOL. IN THAT SENSE YOU DO TAKE ON THE ROLE IN A QAS I

STATE. >> THANK YOU. DONE AT THE BOTTO IT SAYS A STUDENT PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE MAY BE SEARCHED. BAY SCHOOL OFFICIAL IN GOOD FAITH BELIEVES THAT EMERGENCY INVOLVES DANGER OF DEATH OR SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HERE IT SAYS A PHYSICAL INJURY. BUT ARE -- I AM JUST WONDERING, WOULD EMOTIONAL INJURY HAVE ANY BEARING ON THIS AND THE REASON I AM ASKING IS BECAUSE I'M THINKING OF CYBER BULLYING. YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS BECOMING REALLY BIG. MAYBE I SHOULD ASK YOU THAT QUESTION. WHERE DOES CYBER BULLYING FALL?

>> THERE IS LEGISLATION TO DEAL WITH AT WORK HOWEVER, IN TERMS OF SEARCHES, EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES AS IT IS CURRENTL DEFINED, DO NOT INCLUDE A DEFINITION FOR THAT EMOTIONAL HARM. AT THIS POINT, YOU WOULD BE WAITING WAITING INTO UNKNOWN TERRITORY. THAT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT BE NAMED ON A LAWSUIT WHERE IT SAYS X VERSUS BELFOUR UNIFIED SCHOOL IN CASE OUGHT BE SAID UPON THE. IN THOS TERMS, THERE IS STILL LEGISLATION BEING PROPOSED.

THERE ARE THINGS BEING DONE AND THOSE TERMS. BUT CURRENTLY THER IS NOTHING IN THOSE DEFINITIONS THAT WOULD INCLUDE EMOTIONAL

HARM. >> IF I CAN ADD TO THAT. EVERY SITUATION IS UNIQUE IN REGARDS TO HOW INFORMATION IS -- HOW TH ADMINISTRATION BECOMES AWARE OF INFORMATION. TYPICALLY, HOW AND ADMINISTRATION WOULD GET INVOLVED OR EVEN A SCHOOL COUNSELOR, A STUDENT WOULD REPORT -- THIS BEHAVIOR IS GOIN ON TOWARDS ME AND I AM RECEIVIN THESE TYPES OF TEXTS. LOOK AT I AS BEING POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA MOST OF THE TIME STUDENTS ARE WILLINGLY SHOWING THE INFORMATION TO ADMINISTRATION.

WHICH THAT GIVES US INFORMATION TO TAKE ACTION UPON. WHILE THAT IS USUALLY HOW IT IS PRESENTED TO ADMINISTRATION TO BE ABLE TO ACT ON, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FORCE THE STUDENT TO OPENLY SHO ME YOUR PHONE AND SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE. FORCING THEM, IS WHAT I MEAN. WE WOULD ASK THEM, SHAR WHAT INFORMATION YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT YOUR ALLEGATION SO WE CAN HELP SUPPORT YOU AND RESULTED THE MATTER. THAT IS TYPICALLY THE PRACTICALITY OF HOW THAT WOULD WORK IN A SCHOOL WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO A FORCE IN INDIVIDUAL TO OPEN UP THEIR CELL PHONE.

>> THANK YOU. I THINK YOU HAVE ARTIE ANSWERED THE METAL DISSECTOR QUESTION. NO MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> WAS AT THE END OF ALL PRESENTATIONS?

YOU THINK IT I SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WELCOME AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY POSITIVE THING. I AM HOPING THA PERHAPS WE CAN GET SOME CLARITY ON WHAT THE PROCESS LOOKS LIKE TO PERHAPS PROMOTE THAT MARK GOING FORWARD. OBVIOUSLY IT IS UP ON AN AGENDA FOR APPROVAL BU HOW DOES IT GET THERE AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HURDLES THAT MA EXIST.

>> WHEN ADMINISTRATOR CAUSES AND THEIR SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAK IT A MISSION, THERE IS A DONATION FROM HAS TO BE FILLED OUT THEY FILL OUT ALL OF THE CRITERIA AND REBRAND TO THE BOARD TO ACCEPT AND AFTER THE DONATION IS ACCEPTED IT IS PUT IN AN ASP ACCOUNT UNDER THE SPECIFICATION OF WHAT IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR. AND ALL OF TH DOCUMENTATION IS HELD INTERNALL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ONLY USED FOR THAT AMOUNT . I'M

SORRY. FOR THE PERSONS. >> THAT IS THE PRACTICE. PEOPLE

CAN DONATE TO SPECIFIC THINGS? >> CORRECT. PACIFICA PROJECTS.

>> IT JUST CANNOT BE DEDICATED TO A SPECIFIC SITE. OR IS THAT

SOMETHING THAT IS NEWER? >> LIKE IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO MAKE A DONATION AND THEY WANTED TO GO TO PACIFIC SITE WAS THAT

SOMETHING THAT IS ACCEPTABLE? >> AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME OF THE DONATIONS ARE FOR THE SCHOOL SITES LIKE BELL BELLFLOWER BUT THAT IS FOR THE SPIRIT WALK AND THAT FUNDING WILL BE USED FOR THAT PROJECT WITH THE SAME WITH THE REST OF THE DONATIONS THAT

ARE BEING MADE. >> IT DOES GET EARMARKED FOR

THAT. >> CORRECT.

>> THEY ARE SEPARATE AND THE DISTRICT DOES NOT HANDLE ANY O THE FUNDING REGARDING BOOSTERS PRESENT IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FEELING THAT THE DISTRICT DOES IS MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE INSURED AND WHO COULD AT ANY TIME AUDIT TO MAKE SURE THEIR FINANCES ARE IN PLACE, BUT WE D NOT HANDLE ANY OF THE FUNDING O

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> LET'S MOVE FORWARD.

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION ITEMS THIS EVENING?

>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. JUST BEING A NEW, KIND OF TALKED TO SOME OF THE EXECUTIVE CABINET BUT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW CONFERENCES WORK BECAUSE JUST LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER CONFERENCE ON US GOING EARLY IN REIMBURSEMENT THINGS LIKE THAT AND I'VE BEEN TOLD WE HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE THERE AN ALLOCATED AMOUNT FOR EACH OF US? ARE WE BASICALLY ABLE TO GO TO THE THINGS THAT W WANT TO GO TO? I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WORKS BECAUSE WHEN WE FIRST WENT TO A CONFERENCE AS LAST YEAR WE COUL NOT EVEN GET REIMBURSED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT BOARD MEMBERS YET.

I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING HOW THAT WORKS WITH EACH OF US AND

WE ARE ALLOWED TO GO TO. >> VERY GOOD QUESTION. ACTUALLY WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS TWO MONTHS AGO. IT JUST SKIPPED MY MIND. SITTING BOARD MEMBERS IN THE AUTHORIZED CONFERENCES YOU GO TO, YOU SHOULD NOT COME OUT OF POCKET ON THAT. THE LAST TIME, WHEN YOU GUYS WENT TO THE CONFERENCES AS I WENT WITH YOU, I DON'T THINK I WAS HIRED. YOU GUYS WERE NOT BROUGHT ON YET.

THAT IS REALLY DISTRICT COULD NOT SPEND FUNDS ON YOU BUT IT FROM THIS POINT ON, YOU WILL. I THINK THE REASON I WANTED TO BRING THIS ON BOARD IS BECAUSE THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL EARNINGS YOU GUYS NEED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE ARE ESTABLISHING THE ALLOCATION THEY HAVE FOR THE YEAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE AT A NEARBY LEVEL WE CAN CERTAINLY ESTABLISH THAT AS A MATTER OF SAME MYSTERY HAVE AS MUCH, ARMSTRONG, BRAD CRIHFIELD, AND EVERY YEAR HAVE A CONSISTENT AMOUNT. WHAT IF MR. BRAD CRIHFIELD DOESN'T WANT TO GO T ONE AND YOU WANT TO GO TO AN ADDITIONAL ONE. THERE IS A FIXE AMOUNT THAT WE GET FOR THE FULL BOARD AND THEN WE CAN DISTRIBUT IT EVENLY. I DON'T HAVE THAT FIGURE OUT, BUT I BELIEVE EVER BOARD NEEDS IS SOMETHING OF THA BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND AND CSBA I CLEARLY ONE THAT IS COVERED BUT THERE WILL BE INDIVIDUAL ONCE YOU MAY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT.

>> THERE IS A FIXED AMOUNT BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THAT IN PLACE YET. SELECTED WE HAVE THAT IN PLACE YET?

>> NEARBY LAW DOES NOT SAY THER IS A FIXED AMOUNT. THAT WOULD B SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE A POOR DECISION. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHIN THAT IS RELATED AND GOING TO HELP IMPROVE FOR THE PURPOSES O THE DISTRICT HAD THINGS THAT YO ARE HERE TO SELECTED MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO SERVE AND FOCUS ON AND IMPROVE FOR THE DISTRICT.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. AS A NEW BOARD MEMBER THERE WAS MORE TRAINING AND I'M DOING SOME TRAINING TOMORROW AND SATURDAY.

YOU WANT TO GET IN AS MUCH AS I CAN THAT I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND ARE WE ALLOWED TO GO ARE REALLOCATED UP AND WE TALKE ABOUT HURTING AND RECEIPT AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT I WANTED MORE CLARIFICATION ON THAT. THANK YOU.

>> I NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS. MABEL OUR WORK WITH THE BOARD LEADERSHIP AT THE NEXT MEETING TO TALK ABOUT, WHAT IS A FAIR AMOUNT FOR EACH OF YOU TO PUT A A PART OF THE BYLAW.

>> AND TO PIGGYBACK, WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS APPROVING CERTAIN CONFERENCES O TRAVEL ?

>> I THINK THAT YOU WOULD TELL ME OBVIOUSLY THAT YOU WANT TO G TO A CERTAIN CONFERENCE AND IT WOULD BE WITHIN THE ALLOCATION AND YOU PROVIDE THE REASONING, AND SO ON. THOSE KINDS OF THINGS CAN'T BE ABUSED IF I WAS A BOARD MEMBER I WOULDN'T WANT TO BECAUSE WE HAVE TO POST EVERYTHING ANYWAYS FOR THE PURPOSE OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND ALL OF THAT. YOU WANT TO GO TO VEGAS GAMBLING, THAT IS NOT GOING TO LOOK GOOD FOR YOU. I WOULD NOT APPROVE. IF I DID IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR BOTH OF

US. >> LET'S NOT DO THAT.

[04:15:02]

>> THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL LOOK INTO. FINDING AN AMOUNT IN

FIGURING THAT OUT? GREAT. >> MAYBE WE WILL LOOK AT THE TRENDS OF THE PREVIOUS BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE GONE, OR THE CONFERENCES THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE, FOR EXAMPLE YOU WILL GO T CSBA. WE KNOW FOR SURE THERE AR CERTAIN ONCE YOU WILL GO TO BUT THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL ONCE YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDIN . WE JUST HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT IS.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. LET'S GO ON TO BOARD STAFF AND PTA COMMENTS. DR., DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO

REPORT? >> THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SAY IS I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO EXPRESS HOW WELL THAT I THOUGHT THE END OF THE YEAR WENT WITH THE GRADUATIONS AND I HAVE TAKE THE YEAR TO SOAK IN THE SEMESTER. AND I REALLY LIKING WHAT I AM SEEING HERE. A MORE INSPIRED ABOUT THE FUTURE OR ASPIRATIONS THINGS THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. I THINK THE COMMUNICATION WITH STAFF, PARENTS AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MEETING, WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING. TO ME THAT IS A POSITIVE SIGN. IT IS GOING TO EMBOLDEN ME TO REALLY DIVE INT ESTABLISHING THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU A SOME POINT THIS FALL. THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY.

>> THANK YOU. LET'S GO ON TO PT COMMUNICATIONS. MOST WELCOME,
