[3. WORKSHOP: GOVERNANCE HANDBOOK ]
>> THANK YOU. >> WE WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK IN THERE. GOOD WORK TONIGHT.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL OF THIS TONIGHT. I AM NOT GOING TO REPEAT ANY OF THE THINGS. RIGHT INTO THE NEW STUFF. SOMETHING THAT IS A FAVORITE OF MINE THAT IS THIS VIDEO. SO PLEASE HOPEFULLY IT WILL GET US IN THE RIGHT MOOD TO DO
THIS. >> A LOT OF MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A CHILD.
I STRUGGLED. I STRUGGLED HOLDING STILL. WOULD TRY TO LISTEN AND FOCUS AND PROCESS IDEAS THAT I CANNOT HELP MYSELF TO BE HONEST I WOULD JUST START TAPPING THE STUDENTS WOULD LOOK AT ME, STOPPED TAPPING. A LOT OF THE TIME I DID NOT REALIZE I WAS DOING IT EVENTUALLY THE TEACHERS GOT AFTER ME, YOU HAVE TO STOP TAPPING. IT GOT SO BAD ON GOD SENT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE FOR TAPPING HE SAID TO ME WHEN YOU GO BACK TO CLASS TRY SITTING ON YOUR HANDS SO WHY DID.
I FELT MYSELF STARTING TO TAP, I SAT ON MY HANDS. THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. MY TEACHER LOOKED AT ME, HE YELLED.
HE SAID CLINT STAY AFTER CLASS. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THIS IS IT, I AM DONE.
A SINGLE MOMENT IN TIME CAN CHANGE A PERSON'S LIFE THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS FOR ME.
SO I WAS SITTING THERE WITH MR. JENSEN, HE WALKED PAST ME, HE SAID COME HERE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU HE SAID YOU ARE NOT IN TROUBLE. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE TO ASK YOU. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT PLAYING THE DRUMS. HE LEANED BACK, HE OPENED THE TOP DRAWER HE PULLED OUT MY VERY FIRST PAIR OF DRUMSTICKS.
HE SAID YOU WERE NOT A PROBLEM. I THINK YOU ARE A DRUMMER. FROM THAT MOMENT ON I AM NEVER PUT THOSE STAKES DOWN. I HAVE PLAYED DRUMS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
[00:05:06]
JUST BECAUSE OF A SINGLE MOMENT IN TIME WITH SOMEBODY WHO BELIEVED IN ME, HE SAW SOMETHING IN ME THAT I DID NOT SEE WITHIN MYSELF FROM THAT MOMENT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND BEING THE BEST FOR THE WORLD.>> ANY REACTIONS TO THAT? THERE IS MR. JENSEN. THE REAL MR. JENSEN.
ANY REACTION TO THAT? >> I HAVE SEEN THAT IT REALLY IS AN AMAZING VIDEO.
LISTENING TO A SPEAKER TALK ABOUT TRANSACTIONAL VERSUS TRANSFORMATIVE RELATIONSHIPS I THINK TALKING WITH COLLEAGUES THOSE CONNECTIONS THAT YOU MAKE THAT IS THE REASON WHY THOSE
CONNECTIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT. >> THINKING ABOUT LEARNING, REFLECT THAT AS WELL.
HAVING GONE THROUGH THE SYSTEM ALREADY IT IS REWARD THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE QUIET, IT DOES NOT LOOK AND FOCUS ON THE OTHER PARTS OF THAT STUDENT. A BIGGER PART OF THEM.
WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT THAT. >> JUST TO FOCUS ON SOMEONE'S
ABILITIES. >> JUST SAT PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO ASSUME THEIR INTENTIONS IN GENERAL, NOT ASSUMING SOMEONE IS A PROBLEM. JUST BECAUSE THEY DO SOMETHING THAT THE OTHER KIDS ARE NOT DOING. I WAS THAT KID.
IT WAS ALWAYS A REALLY BIG DEAL. I LOVE SEEING IT.>> AS AN EARLY SPECIAL EDUCATION INTERVENTIONIST I HAVE DRUMSTICKS DEDICATE TO MY CHILDREN ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE TO MEET CHILDREN WHERE THEY ARE YOU KNOW EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE IT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING. AND INSTEAD OF YOU KNOW APPROACHING IT FROM YOU KNOW LIKE A NEGATIVE YOU SEE WHAT POSITIVE IT IS IN THAT MOMENT.
SO I HAVE VIDEOS OF MY STUDENTS TRYING TO MIMIC THE DRUM CORPS. EVEN MY DAUGHTER WAS IN BAND.
IT IS ALL THE INSTRUMENTS. IT COULD BE A BALL, IT COULD BE A BAT IT COULD BE ANYTHING THAT THE KID IS DOING. GIVE THEM SOMETHING APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO THROW.
PLAY SOCCER WITH THEM. I LOVE THAT. >> YET SO IT SPEAKS TO WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT INTELLIGENCE IS MULTIFACETED. WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT.
IN DIFFERENT FORMS. WE HAVE TO TAKE STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE.>> WHAT I SEE IS THE IMPACT OF EDUCATION. ASSET BASED APPROACH. WE EACH BRING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE. WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT. >> I HOPE THAT IS A MESSAGE.
THAT WE ALL HAVE ASSETS TO SHARE. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF.
WE DID A LOT OF WORK LAST TIME ON AGREEMENTS WITH BEHAVIOR. THE ONES WE CAME UP WITH.
THE GOAL OF TONIGHT'S SESSION IS TO DEVELOP A HANDBOOK. A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE IT IN PRINT. AND YOU REVIEW IT FROM TIME TO TIME.
MAKE ANY CHANGES IF NECESSARY. WE CREATED THIS ON NOVEMBER 11. OTHER POSSIBLE GUIDELINES.
BOARD MEETING GUIDELINES. TAKE ONE THESE ARE OTHER SAMPLE GUIDELINES.
[00:10:05]
LOOK AT THESE FOR A MOMENT AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY MORE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT LIST UP THERE. AS I SAID TO YOU EARLIER I WILL PUT THIS TOGETHER AND SEND IT TO YOU. THEN YOU WILL DECIDE WHAT EDITS THEN YOU WILL ADOPT IT.UNTIL YOU MODIFY IT. YOU DATE IT, YOU START USING A NEW ONE.
ANYBODY WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT BOARD? WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT FIRST AND IF WE AGREE, IT WILL BE ADDED. SOME BRILLIANT PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO WRITE ON A PAPER TABLE?
I DO NOT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT WE CONTACT THE SUPERINTENDENT BY MONDAY AT NOON. IT IS A MATTER OF RESPECT FOR THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THINGS TO
GET DONE. >> BEFORE YOU PUT IT DOWN, GOT IT.
SO ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON THERE? >> I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE IF WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS TO ASK, THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE INTENTIONALLY TRYING, THAT IS NOT THE INTENT. I KNOW THAT OUR STAFF IS VERY WELL KNOWLEDGEABLE IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWER THEY WILL TELL US. I KNOW IT, I AM GOING OUT ON A LIMB SAYING I AM THINKING THE REST OF THE BOARD DOES TOO. THE FLEXIBILITY FOR OUR STAFF.
>> OKAY. >> I DO NOT SEE WHY WE COULD NOT DO THAT.
AT LEAST YOU HAVE A BENCHMARK OF QUESTIONS TO BE PREPARED FOR.
SOMETHING MORE THAT COMES UP I DO NOT SEE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOARD MEMBER ASKING.
>> THAT WAY IT INCLUDES BOTH. MAYBE WE COULD CONTINUE. >> WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
>> AT THIS POINT I DO NOT. >> CONTACT BY THAT TIME. IF WE CAN CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS
AFTER THAT AS WELL. >> WE CAN HAVE QUESTIONS, IT COULD STILL BE ASKED.
THAT IS WHAT I AM HEARING YOU SAY. >> YES BUT ALSO TOO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW WE WANT TO GIVE PREEMPTIVE WORK SO OUR STAFF CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS APPROPRIATELY.UT I THINK THAT IT IS MOST ÃNOT LIKE A DEADLINE.
>> BEST PRACTICE TO TRY TO ASK THE QUESTION AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
>> EXACTLY. >> IS AT REASONABLE? >> SO I LIKE THAT WHAT ABOUT
MONDAY AT THE END OF THE DAY MONDAY. >> END OF THE WORKDAY MONDAY.
>> IT IS STILL THE SAME. >> I AM GOOD WITH THAT. >> MAY BE ONE OF US, WHAT IF I CANNOT GET TO SUBMITTING MY QUESTIONS BY THE END OF A MONDAY.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME FLEXIBILITY. TO GIVE A HARD TIME.
>> OKAY SO I AM OKAY WITH NOT HAVING IT ON THERE BUT I DO WANT TO RESPECT THE TIME THAT THEY WOULD POSSIBLY NEED IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWER TO YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION.
>> IT COULD STILL ÃYET I WOULD WANT TO HAVE IT ELABORATED. >> JUST BECAUSE WE ASK IT I HAD
[00:15:16]
OF TIME, WE MAY ASK WE ARE STILL GOING TO ASK BECAUSE WE WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW.>> IT IS BEST PRACTICE TO RE-ASK YOUR QUESTION. SO IF IT DOES NOT END UP IN THEIR PRESENTATION, THEY CANNOT MODIFY THEIR PRESENTATION. THEY EXPLAIN IT.
>> I AM WONDERING YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF READING. THIS FRIDAY AS WELL.
IS THAT ENOUGH TIME. >> SOMETIMES NO. >> AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
>> QUESTIONS CAN BE ASKED AT THE BOARD. >> CAN EVERYONE AGREE TO THAT
>> YES. >> ASK QUESTIONS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN ALSO ASK QUESTIONS AT THE BOARD. >> IF WE STRUGGLE, DO SOME RESEARCH. IT WOULD BE ÃIF WE CANNOT ANSWER IT AGAIN, AT THE BOARD
MEETING. >> OR EVEN AT THE BOARD MEETING.
WE WILL REPORT THAT OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS SOON WE GET IT. >> IF THE QUESTION DID NOT MAKE
THAT, WOULD YOU STILL WANT THE QUESTION. >> IT DEPENDS.
WE ARE COMING IN WITH RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT WE HOPE THAT YOU ACCEPT.
WE WOULD RATHER KNOW. SO WE GET THE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY.
>> THERE MIGHT BE QUESTIONS THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED IN PUBLIC.
OF A CONFIDENTIAL NATURE, WOULD NOT BE ABLE. AS IF SOMEBODY'S BROTHER OR SISTER, MIGHT NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION. ANY OTHER THING YOU WANT TO ADD TO OUR LIST THAT WE HAVE UP THERE? YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SAMPLE GUIDELINES. DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE
LATEST DATA. >> I AM CONFUSED.OOKING AT THIS, THIS AND THIS ALL OF THIS AS ONE? ARE WE GOING THROUGH EACH OF THESE?
SOME OF THESE THAT ARE NOT OUR NORMS. >> ON THE LIST WE ALREADY
AGREED TO. >> ADDING TO THIS. >> ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO
IT. >> THIS IS OUR OFFICIAL LIST. >> THIS IS WHAT YOU GAVE ME IN
NOVEMBER 11. TYPE IT UP. >> PROTOCOLS, BOARD RULES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES. >> JUST ABOUT GUIDELINES. THIS IS AGREEMENTS.
WE ARE GOING TO DO PROTOCOLS LATER. >> SPEAKING MORE THAN FIVE
MINUTES ON A SINGLE AGENDA ITEM. >> THOUGHTS? THIS COMES FROM YOUR BOXES. SPEAKING ON WHETHER FIVE MINUTES TO A SINGLE AGENDA
ITEM. >> I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION DO YOU MEAN BY ALL OF US
DISCUSSING IT OR INDIVIDUAL? >> PER PERSON. >> AT ONE TIME OR TOTAL?
[00:20:06]
>> YOU CAN SPEAK FIVE MINUTES. >> AT ONE TIME OR TOTAL? >> DO YOU MEAN I SHOULD NOT GO MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES IN ONE TIME? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING?
>> I DO NOT THINK WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO DO THE TALLYING.
I WAS REALLY MORE THINKING ABOUT BOARD COMMENTS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
EVEN IN DISCUSSION THAT WOULD BE 25 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION ON A SINGLE ITEM.
IF WE KEPT OUR TIME UNDER FIVE MINUTES I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
>> SO TOTAL. >> FIVE TOTAL EACH OF US HAS FIVE.
>> SHOULD ONLY SPEAK FIVE MINUTES TOTAL IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE DISCUSSION.>> PER
SINGLE AGENDA ITEM. >> I AGREE YES. >> SO TALK FOUR MINUTES, A
MINUTE LEFT. >> I DISAGREE. WHEN IT IS ON DISCUSSION ITEMS. I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR BOARD COMMENTS. BOARD COMMENTS YES.
I AGREE WE SHOULD KEEP THEM TO FIVE MINUTES. >> I AM WILLING TO DO THAT.
>> EVEN LIKE RECOGNITIONS. NOT GOING ABOVE FIVE MINUTES IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING.
>> SHOULD WE WORD THAT DIFFERENT? >> MAYBE MAKE IT BOARD
COMMENTS. >> I AM FINE WITH THAT. >> POSSIBLY RECOMMENDATION ARE
WE GOING TO START ARGUE IF SOMEONE GOES 5:30? >> WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEONE VIOLATES A PROTOCOL HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT AS A BOARD TOGETHER? RATHER NOT DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
IT IS A CONVERSATION WE HAVE TO HAVE. >> I WOULD SAY NO ONE BECAUSE
WHAT IF SOMEONE GOES 5:30. >> IF IT WAS REWARDED AS RECOMMENDATION THAT WE TRY TO
KEEP OUR BOARD COMMENTS UNDER FIVE MINUTES I WOULD AGREE. >> LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME IS TO KEEP BUSINESS MEETINGS MOVING FORWARD. A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO SPEAK.
THAT IS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. TRYING TO USE THE SAME KIND OF METHODOLOGY.
SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT BOARD COMMENTS NOW. DURING THE BOARD COMMENT OR
REPORT TIME. >> RESPECTFUL OF THE TIME IN THE MEETING.
THE INFORMATION THAT WE REALLY WANT TO SHARE NOT GOING ABOVE FIVE MINUTES.
>> RECOMMENDED EACH MEMBER RESPECT THEIR BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS TO FIVE MINUTES.
>> THAT GOES WITH EACH BOARD MEMBER WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
>> WE CAN DO BOARD COMMENTS AND REWORD IT THAT WAY. >> SO TAKEOUT AGENDA ITEM.
>> SO IS THAT CONSENSUS? I SEE ONE HEAD NOD ANOTHER HEAD NOD.
>> SO IT GOES UP THERE. ANY OTHERS FROM THIS LIST OR ANYWHERE ELSE?
>> THAT THE MEETING CAN INCLUDE BY 9:00 P.M. AT THE CONSENSUS. WE HAVE BOARD MEMBERS.
>> ON THE CONSENSUS? >> THE ENTIRE BOARD HAS TO AGREE THAT WE GO OVER.
>> SEEING WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PUBLICLY, A POLICY THAT WAS NOT APPROVED.
I DISAGREE WITH THAT. >> IT HAS AN ENDING TIME. >> THIS BOARD DID NOT APPROVE
[00:25:06]
IT. I AM SAYING WE HAVE A BOARD MEMBERS WHO WERE HERE DURING THE SCHOOL NIGHT. IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE WHICH WAS STATED.>> STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS EXCUSED AT 9:00 P.M. IF THAT IS THE CASE.
>> I AGREE IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD BE SPECIFIC TO STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. THIS SHOULD NOT INCLUDE ELECTED MEMBERS.> I AM GOOD WITH
ADDING THAT. >> DIDN'T THE LAW JUST CHANGE ON STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS?
>> I THINK IT IS REQUIRED NOW. THEY CAN ALSO BRING RESOLUTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD.
>> THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A RESOLUTION. >> ANYWAY DOES NOT REALLY
MATTER. IS THERE A CONSENSUS ON THAT? >> THIS IS ON WHAT?
>> CLOSURE AT NINE UNLESS THE BOARD APPROVES MAXIMUM ONE HOUR EXTENSION.
>> NO. >> WHAT I SAID WAS THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER, MAY BE STUDENT
BOARD MEMBERS MAY BE EXCUSED AT 9:00 P.M. >> TO BE HONEST ALL OF US IF WE WANTED TO GET UP AND LEAVE. BUT I THINK IN AN EFFORT TO WORK EFFICIENTLY I THINK WE COULD AIM TO CONCLUDE BY NINE UNLESS WE DO HAVE A FULL AGENDA THAN THIS IS A FULL AGENDA, WE MAY HAVE TO GO OVER ANOTHER HOUR. I WOULD LOVE TO TRY TO ABIDE BY
THIS. >> WE ARE MEETING TWICE A MONTH.
>> WHY WE DO NOT TALK TO PLACE THAT AS ON NORM. >> MOST OF OUR MEETINGS ¦
>> WHEN WE ESTABLISHED THESE. >> WHEN WE STARTED THAT IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION.
IT WAS TURNED DOWN. >> WE DO NOT HAVE A CONSENSUS ON THIS.
RECOMMEND WE MOVE ON. >> SOME OF THESE AGREEMENTS FOR BEHAVIOR, REALLY SERVES AS
REMINDER AM I CORRECT? >> AGREEMENTS AND A REMINDER. >> GIVING YOUR CONSENSUS.
>> WITH THAT I LIKE THE REFRAIN FROM INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC SPEAKERS EXCEPT FOR
CLARIFYING QUESTIONS POSED TO THE STAFF. >> THAT IS ACTUALLY THE LAW BY
THE WAY. >> CAN WE ADD THAT? >> YOU CANNOT DISCUSS IT.
ONLY REFER TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. IT WAS NOT POSTED AS A DISCUSSION. THEY SPEAK DURING AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION THEN YOU CAN DECIDE.
YOU CAN EVEN DO THAT WITH AN ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA. NOT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD. THAT IS NOT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A COMMENT. >> RECOMMENDATION ON THE TABLE.
>> ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THAT ONE IN THE AGREEMENTS ARE NOT? >> CAN YOU RESTATE THAT AGAIN?
>> REFRAIN FROM INTERACTING WITH PUBLIC SPEAKERS. AGAIN AT A LATER DATE LIKE WE
[00:30:09]
HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN, WE WILL COME UP WITH SOME TYPE OF REASONABLE CORRECTION.THANK YOU. >> IS AT CONSENSUS ON THAT ONE? >> DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF THESE
IN FRONT OF YOU? >> I HAVE ONE HERE FOR YOU. >> IS THERE ANOTHER ONE?
I THINK SUE YOU HAD ONE. >> AVOID REPETITIVE COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS.
>> AVOID REPETITIVE COMMENTS. >> I AGREE. >> ON HIM FOR IT, BRAD.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE CORRECTIONS IF YOU DO THIS YOU ACCIDENTALLY SAY THE SAME THING ARE WE GOING TO START PUNISHING EVERYBODY. SEEMS LIKE A DIFFICULT ONE TO
MANAGE.> MINDFUL AND THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO OPERATE, ¦ >> WHO IS GOING TO KEEP TRACK
OF THE REPETITIVE COMMENTS? >> IT IS A LITTLE SUBJECTIVE. ALSO BRING UP LIKE WHAT QUALIFIES THE REPETITIVE COMMENT? IF WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD CONSENSUS, I MAY RESTATE WHAT THEY SAID. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY TO TRY TO
HEAR MYSELF TALK. >> WHEN WE HAVE A LIST OF 100 PEOPLE, LISTEN TO WHAT THE PERSON BEFORE YOU SAID AND AND SOMETHING NEW. THAT CUTS DOWN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY NEED. WE HEARD THAT AND SOMETHING NEW.
>> SOMETHING AND RECOGNIZE WITH OTHER BOARDS. SOMETIMES YOU GET IN THE HABIT THAT YOU NEED TO COMMENT ON EVERY ITEM. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF I NEED TO SAY THE SAME THING, REALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS A COLLECTIVE DECISION ANYWAY.
>> SCHOOL BOARDS SHOULD NOT BE POLITICIZED. ALONG THESE LINES.
>> I DISAGREE. >> WHO HAS ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION.
>> I AM DOWN FOR THE 10 MINUTE BREAK AFTER TWO HOURS. >> WE HAVE NOT BEEN DOING IT SO
I DISAGREE. >> BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN? PEOPLE HAVE JUST BEEN GOING WHEN THEY NEED TO.> IN THAT CASE ANYONE CAN CALL A TIMEOUT IF HE OR SHE NEEDS TO TAKE A
BREAK. >> SOMETIMES YOU WALK OUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING.
>> ON THE SAMPLE SHEET. >> I THINK IF WE GO PAST TWO HOURS ONE OF US WILL REQUEST A RESTROOM BREAK. MAYBE NOT AT THAT POINT, SOMEONE ELSE MUST NEED A BREAK.
>> ONE OF THE BENEFITS TO HAVING ÃASKING FOR A BREAK IS YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP YOUR VOICE ON AN ITEM THAT IS THERE. WHEN SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE A BREAK, IT TAKES AWAY THEIR
VOTE. >> ALWAYS TRIED TO FUNCTION AS A FIVE-MEMBER BOARD.
>> WE CAN DO THAT AT THIS TIME TOO. SPEAK TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT.
>> BECAUSE I KNOW FOR INSTANCE I KNOW I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK ONE TIME, I DID HAVE TO ABSTAIN. I REALLY DID MISS THE CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING EITHER SCHEDULE A BREAK OR IF WE HAVE TWO, CAN WE
[00:35:02]
HAVE A PERSONAL BREAK? FOR EVERYBODY. SO WE WILL NOT MISS OUT.>> I THINK THAT FITS WHAT CHRIS MENTIONED. >> MY THOUGHT ON IT IS WE ARE ALL ADULTS. IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK THEN YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK.
I HAVE SEEN OTHER BOARDS. THE WAY WE TAKE BREAKS, I THINK WE COULD DO IT BETTER.
WE SHOULD ALL BE RESPONSIBLE. IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK, TAKE A BREAK.
>> I AGREE WITH ANYONE CAN CALL A TIMEOUT. EVERYBODY STOPS.
>> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. WE CAN PUSH IT, WE DO NOT HAVE TO AUTOMATICALLY TAKE IT.
>> IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE 10 MINUTES. >> I THINK WE ARE SAYING TWO
DIFFERENT THINGS. >> I AM SAYING WE DO NOT HAVE TO PUT A TIME ON IT.
>> THE ENTIRE BOARD? >> YES. >> INSTEAD OF MAKING IT AUTOMATICALLY AT TWO HOURS, WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS A BREAK THEN TAKE THE BREAK THEN.
>> IS THERE A CONSENSUS ON THAT? >> REQUEST A BREAK.
BOARD STOPS THEIR WORK SO NO ONE MISSES OUT. >> ANYONE ELSE?
>> I THINK IMPORTANT FOR US, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. CONSENSUS ON STAFF DIRECTION
WITH DISCUSSION ITEMS. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT GUYS? >> SO WHAT YOU MEAN BY
CONSENSUS CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT? >> ON THE DISCUSSION ITEMS THAT WILL COME UP CLIMBING THERE'S GOING TO BE A POINT TO WHERE WE HAVE TO GIVE DIRECTION. WORK TOWARDS DISCUSSING AND UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER SO THAT WE CAN HAVE CONSENSUS. SO THAT WE CAN GIVE CLEAR
DIRECTION. >> WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS. WE WERE ELECTED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT.OR US NOT TO SEE EYE TO EYE, IT IS A HEALTHY THING. WE MAY NOT HAVE A CONSENSUS. I DO AGREE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A CONSENSUS ON DIRECTION. IT IS A DIRECTION. >
>> AND SHOULD BE A CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD TO GIVE THE SUPERINTENDENT THE DIRECTION.
>> SHOULD BE THE SAME. THE CONSENSUS ÃWE MAY DISAGREE.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A CLEAR VOTE. THE DIRECTION GOING FORWARD
AFTER THAT DOES NEED TO BE CLEAR. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT ACTION.
THIS IS ABOUT DIRECTION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. IT IS A DISCUSSION ITEM, I AM THINKING OF DOING THIS THING. I WANT TO GET YOUR CONSENSUS. DOES ANYBODY DISAGREE WITH
THAT? TRY TO GET CONSENSUS. >> I THINK WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING, ONE PERSON ON THE BOARD IS NOT OKAY WITH THE DIRECTION, TECHNICALLY DO NOT HAVE CONSENSUS. BUT THE DIRECTION IS STILL THERE.
>> THAT IS WHAT HAS TO BE THE SAME. >> YOU WOULD WORK AT IT TO THE
DIRECTION YOU ALL AGREE TO. KEEP DISCUSSING IT.>> I THINK IT IS A GREAT GOAL.
>> THAT IS WHAT WE IDENTIFIED. LOOKING AT PERFORMANCE. >> THAT IS WHAT I AM WANTING TO DO. TO HAVE A DISCUSSION FOR US TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
[00:40:03]
COME TO AN AGREEMENT CONSENSUS. >> WHAT IF WE MADE THIS SOFTER? MAKE EVERY EFFORT BEFORE
PROVIDING DIRECTION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. >> MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN
CONSENSUS. >> MOVING THE ACTION FOR CONSENSUS.
>> I THINK DISCUSSIONS COULD BE LONGER. SOMETIMES WE DO STOP AT A DISAGREEMENT THAT CAN CAUSE CONFUSION. AS LONG AS IT IS A DISCUSSION IN GOOD FAITH. WE CAN HAVE SOME PROGRESS. I THINK IT IS A GREAT THING.
>> KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM. THERE SUPERINTENDENT IS ASKING
FOR SOME DIRECTION. >> IT DOES HELP IF YOU HAVE CLARITY ON THAT.
IF THERE IS NOT CONSENSUS, ACTING A CERTAIN WAY. BASED ON THAT DISCUSSION.
HAVING THAT CLARITY IS GOOD. THERE IS NO CONSENSUS, THAT ONE PERSON NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT. WHATEVER ACTION AS A RESULT OF THAT.
ONE PERSON DID NOT AGREE. >> KEEPING WITH THE CONCEPT TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT.
>> WE GAVE OUR HEAD NOD.>> MAJORITY WHERE OKAY THE MAJORITY THE BOARD AGREES, WE ALL KNOW THE DIRECTION. A MAJORITY RATHER THAN CONSENSUS.
>> WE SHOULD TRY TO SEE CONSENSUS. >> COULD WE ADD SOMETHING.
>> THE ISSUE WAS WE WANT TO FIND OUT MORE. TO COLLECT INFORMATION ON THIS.
YOU WILL TAKE A VOTE. SOMETIMES THE PRELIMINARY WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU MEANT HERE BY DISCUSSION ITEMS. >> THE ABILITY FOR US TO AGREE TO DISAGREE ON SOMETHING BUT STILL BE ABLE TO TAKE SOMETHING TO A VOTE.
>> AGREE. >> I JUST PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE MAKING THE BEST EFFORT TO FIND THAT BEST EFFORT I DO NOT THINK THAT DEFINES ANYTHING WITH SOME OF OUR DECISIONS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? IF YOU WANT A FINAL WHO GIVES DIRECTION THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING. THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
>> IT IS AN ACTION ITEM WITHOUT A DOUBT. DISCUSSION ITEM MORE LATITUDE
TO TRY TO FIND SOME COMMON GROUND. >> WITH THAT DISCUSSION ITEM, WE CANNOT GET CONSENSUS. THEN WE DO NOT GET ANY DIRECTION?
>> CONSENSUS TO TABLE IT OR CONSENSUS TO CURATE A COMMITTEE TO EXPLORE IT NOW OR CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO SET A POLICY.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU BUT TALKING ABOUT DISCUSSION ITEMS. IF THE DISCUSSION ITEM IF THERE IS NO CONSENSUS WITH THE DIRECTION DO WE NOT HAVE ANY DIRECTION WITH THAT DISCUSSION
ITEM? >> I LOVE THE OPTIMISM. >> REMEMBER WHAT THIS IS FOR MAINTAINING POSITIVE AND EFFECTIVE CULTURE. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO DO THIS.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT BUT WE NEVER GET TO CONSENSUS
THEN WHAT HAPPENS. >> THE GOAL AND THE GAME, IF FOR WHATEVER REASON WE CANNOT GET TO THAT POINT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE DIRECTION.
[00:45:06]
WE'RE GOING TO TRY. >> I ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE FOR US AS A BOARD DIVERSE AS WE ARE, I THINK IT WOULD REALLY SET A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW TO WORK AS A TEAM IF WE CAN RESPECTFULLY DISCUSS, EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING IS FOR THE KIDS SO CONSIDERING YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, I REALLY DO THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO COME TO A CONSENSUS ON DISCUSSION ITEMS. A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE CHILDREN.
I TELL YOU WE HAVE TEACHERS THAT PUT ON GROUP PROJECTS SOMETIMES THE KIDS DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND, IT IS ABOUT GETTING ALONG. EVERYBODY DOING THEIR PART.
ALL OF US DO OUR PART AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER'S PERSPECTIVE, FOR OUR ONE COMMON GOOD I KNOW WE CAN COME UP WITH A CONSENSUS. WE NEED TO STRIVE FOR THAT.
>> THERE WERE ÃARE YOU SAYING THAT WE ARE NOT RESPECTFUL WITH OUR DISCUSSIONS? THAT IS WHAT I HEARD. RESPECT IS BEING TIED INTO CONSENSUS.
>> NO. I NEED YOU TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I AM SAYING DO NOT PICK ONE WORD WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE CAN LIKE SET AN EXAMPLE OF US BEING SO DIFFERENT BUT WORKING TOWARD A COMMON GOOD. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING RIGHT NOW, WE STILL CAN GET IT TOGETHER. FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AS A UNIT.
REALLY SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE MAY NOT COME TO THAT CONSENSUS. THAT IS FINE. FOR THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC OR WHATEVER. I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US TO TRY TO WORK TOWARD OUR
CONSENSUS. >> RESPECT IS UP THERE. >> THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING MAYBE NOT TYPE THE WORD RESPECT TO CONSENSUS. IF WE DO NOT AGREE WE DO NOT
AGREE. >> MY POINT IS IN ALL DUE RESPECT AS WE TALK ABOUT RESPECT DIFFERENCES. WE ALREADY HAD THIS DISCUSSION. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT AGAIN IS THAT RESPECTING THE MAJORITY OF HOW WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD? WHO DECIDES WHAT THAT LOLOOKS
LIKE. >> LOOK AT IT EVERY YEAR ANYWAY.
THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME AFTER THIS, THEN I THINK IT WOULD BE DISTRACTING. MAYBE NOT RESPECTFUL. IN THIS SPACE I THINK THIS IS A
GOOD TIME TO SET THOSE EXPECTATIONS. >> WHY ARE YOU STUCK ON THAT?
>> I WOULD ASK YOU THAT QUESTION BOARD MEMBER. >> WE DROPPED IT YOU KEEP
BRINGING IT UP. >> EVIDENCE, EXAMPLE OF WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD BUT WE ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD. I UNDERSTAND THE VIEWS OF TRYING TO GET CONSENSUS BUT
ALSO BEING REALISTIC WITH WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST YEAR. >> LET'S MOVE ON.
END OUR DISCUSSION OF AGREEMENTS. LET'S GO ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
IT IS A BRAINSTORM OF WHAT WE ARE PROUD OF. IN THE DISTRICT.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE PROUD OF? >> I AM PROUD OF OUR UNIFIED PROGRAM OVER AT MAYFAIR. THE EFFORTS FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES I THINK THAT
[00:50:06]
IS A GREAT PROGRAM. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE HAD ACCESS TO THE NEW BUILDING.
>> I THINK WE ARE GIVING INPUT. WE ARE NOT ENGAGING EACH OTHER IN DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU DO HAVE TO ENGAGE EACH OTHER. >> IT IS A PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES. >> SHOULDN'T THAT PROGRAM BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL CLASSROOMS?
>> ARE YOU NOT PROUD OF THE PROGRAM? >> IT IS NOT A CONSENSUS.
IT HAS TO BE INCLUSIVE FOR ALL. IF THE BUILDING IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO OUR STUDENTS.
>> I WOULD BE PROUD. SO I DO NOT SEE IT. >> I DO NOT THINK YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.
>> THE UNIFIED PROGRAM. BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT TODAY WITH FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
THE LOCK ASSEMBLY. SEEING THOSE KIDS OUT THERE. THAT PEER PROGRAM, THEY PARTNER UP THE KIDS. ACTUALLY THEY DID A SESSION ON THAT PROGRAM, WE HAVE SOMETHING JUST LIKE THAT. THAT WE COULD MAKE IT DISTRICTWIDE.
I AM PROUD OF THE PROGRAM. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? >> I AM SAYING YEAH IS SET TO BE PROUD OF A PROGRAM IT IS A GOOD PROGRAM I AM NOT SAYING THE PROGRAM IS WRONG BUT IT HAS TO BE TOTAL EQUITY AND INCLUSION. THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
>> YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU ARE PROUD OF? WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF?
>> FOR THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE? >> MAY I? COULD WE JUST MAYBE PUT SOMETHING UP THERE. LIKE WHAT YOU DID WITH US BEFORE.
KIND OF TAKE OFF THINGS. >> I AM PROUD OF OUR PROGRAM. IT ALLOWS ALL STUDENTS TO BE ENGAGED. PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE CREATED A SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR A BLIND STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE IN GAMING. SO YES THERE ARE SOME THINGS I AM PROUD OF YOU. TO BE INCLUSIVE OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
>> THERE IS TWO NOW. ANOTHER ONE THAT SOMEBODY IS PROUD OF?
>> ALSO SAY OUR ATHLETICS. FOOTBALL TEAM RIGHT NOW. >> OTHERS?
>> YOU KNOW I DO HAVE TO SAY I AM PROUD OF I DO NOT KNOW ALL OF THE TEACHERS BUT I AM PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS. REALLY HAVE SOME DEDICATED STAFF.
TEACHERS AND STAFF AND SUPPORT STAFF I AM REALLY PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE THEY DO WORK HARD.
>> I AM PROUD OF OUR SOMERSET PROGRAM. I THINK IT IS REALLY GREAT.
I HAVE SEEN IT GROW. EXCELLENT PROGRAM FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING.

THE CUSTODIAL STAFF, PRETTY GOOD JOB. THEY DO A GOOD JOB CLEANING.
I AM PROUD OF THAT. >> I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE OUT OUR STUDENTS.
[00:55:04]
WE HAVE SOME VERY HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT.SOMETIMES WE HAVE CHILDREN WHO ARE VERY ACTIVE IN ATHLETICS. IF YOU CHECK SOME OF THOSE KIDS HAVE THE HIGHEST GRADE POINT AVERAGE ALSO. WE HAVE VERY HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS. THAT ARE ACTIVE IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.
>> PERFORMING ARTS ALSO.>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, WE RECOGNIZE OUR TEACHERS AND EMPLOYEES, GAVE THEM A RAISE. THAT THEY DESERVE. DEFINITELY PROUD OF OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENTS ESPECIALLY OUR BANDS AND CORAL DEPARTMENTS I THINK THAT IS AMAZING.
I AM PROUD OF THE TWO HIGH SCHOOLS FOR ADDING CULTURE AND CLIMATE.
A HUGE WIN FOR OUR DISTRICT. SO I RECOGNIZE THAT WAS DONE AND THAT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.
I HAVE A LOT MORE BUT GO AHEAD. >> THAT IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE. IT IS PROGRAM WHERE THE ATTENDANT TWICE A WEEK THE
OTHER TIME IT IS ONLINE VIRTUAL. >> I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH ALL OF THOSE NOMINATIONS. ALSO ADD OUR TEACHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR STUDENTS BECAUSE ALL TEACHERS WORK VERY VERY HARD BUT BEING A DUAL TEACHER YOU HAVE TWICE AS MUCH WORK TO DO. I DO NOT THINK THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YET.
I WOULD COMPARE IT ALMOST TO A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER. I AM PROUD OF IT THEN.
AFTER A COUPLE LONG MEETINGS AND THE CHANGES, THE ENGAGEMENT SPECIFICALLY WITH STARTING UP THE MEETING. MAKING SURE EVERY VOICE IS HEARD IN OUR DISTRICT I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT. >> DITTO. >> I AM PROUD ÃPRINCIPLES, THEY HAVE A LOT TO CARRY. JUST ALL THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH, I AM PROUD OF HOW THEY MANAGE ALL OF THOSE THINGS. ALSO OUR STAFF. YOU KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ESTABLISHING LEARNING FOR FUTURE, THE FACT THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT DOING THAT.
GREAT INDICATION. AM PROUD OF THAT AS WELL. >> PROUD OF THE PRESIDENT AS WELL, RECOGNIZING SO MANY THINGS THAT WERE NOT DONE LIKE SELF-EVALUATIONS, HANDBOOKS, THE THINGS WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW I THINK THAT IS REALLY GOOD THAT YOU HAVE IMPLEMENTED THOSE. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THAT WE WERE LACKING QUITE A BIT FOR
MAKING THOSE CHANGES. I APPRECIATE YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> HARD START BUT WE GOT A LOT OUT THERE. THE BOARD AS A WHOLE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. IF WE ARE GOING TO CODIFY THIS, ALL OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS A TEAM EFFORT. I AGREE, IF YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT WE SCRATCH OFF MY NAME, IT WAS OUR STAFF OUR SUPERINTENDENT IT IS SO MANY PEOPLE.
TO COME TO THE TABLE AND HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS. >> I FEEL LIKE IF YOU'RE GOING TO CODIFY THIS, I WOULD LIKE MORE TIME WE ARE NOT GOING TO THINK OF EVERYTHING RIGHT THIS
[01:00:02]
SECOND. PROBABLY SO MANY MORE PEOPLE WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE.>> BOARD MEMBER, PRESIDENT, OKAY. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU. I UNDERSTAND. >> IF YOU GUYS AGREE WITH ME,
WE COULD STRIKE UP THE LAST ONE. >> WE ARE KEEPING IT.
>> A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE NOT IN PLACE HERE, THAT HAVE NOW STARTED TO HAPPEN.

IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CAN MAKE I WOULD LIKE THAT ONE SCRATCHED. >> OKAY.
ONE MORE TASK I WANT TO DO. STILL SEVERAL MORE TO FINISH. ONE MORE THING.
SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME THINGS ON THIS. INITIALLY WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AS A BOARD? WHAT COMES FIRST TO MIND. FIVE MINUTES.
THINKING ABOUT THIS. SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION. WHAT ARE THE BIG THINGS WE WANT
TO ACCOMPLISH TOO. >> COMMUNICATE OPENLY AND HONESTLY WITH EACH OTHER.
>> PUT EVERYTHING DOWN THEN WE WILL EVALUATE. GIVES US PROGRESS.
>> DO YOU MEAN AS A DISTRICT OR AS A BOARD? >> AS A DISTRICT I GUESS AND AS

WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT NEEDS FROM THE BOARD TO FULFILL HIS ROLE, WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS NEED FROM ONE ANOTHER. TO FULFILL YOUR ROLE. THESE TAKE SOME TIME.FINALLY, DEVELOPING PROTOCOLS WAYS OF MONITORING PROTOCOLS AND HAVING OUTCOMES AND CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING PROTOCOLS. IN A RESPECTFUL WAY.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT STILL NEED TO BUILD TO FINISH OUR HANDBOOK.
WE ARE CLOSE.>> I MISSED ONE. >> WHAT THE BOARD MEMBERS NEED FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT, I LOST
THAT. >> WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS NEED FROM EACH OTHER.
CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO MOVE TOWARD A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BOARD.
WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO FINISH THIS PIECE?
THE ANSWER IS NOT KEEP WORKING UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. >> I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST A
GROUP HUG. >> SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WAS FORMED TO WORK ON THIS CORRECT?
>> I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE BOARD GOVERNANCE, A SUBCOMMITTEE TO WORK ON THE
HANDBOOK. >> THIS IS NOT GOOD. SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE VIES
INTO WITH OWNERSHIP. >> WAS ONE NOT CREATED LAST MEETING ON THE DAIS PUBLICLY
FOR A CALENDAR AND HANDBOOK? FOR PEOPLE TO WORK ON THAT. >> I CANNOT RECALL.
>> I BELIEVE IT WAS BOTH. >> I DO REMEMBER POLICY UPDATES.
I DO NOT RECALL. >> SPECIFIC CATEGORIES. >> I WILL FIND IT.

THAT. >> I CANNOT QUITE FIGURE OUT. >> TWO HOURS THERE.
PROBABLY NEED THAT MUCH. >> TO FINISH OFF THE HANDBOOK. I CAN WRITE UP THE HANDBOOK TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. YOU COULD TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. >> WE CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTION. WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT.
>> THE LAST THING BEFORE WE CAN CLOSE, PINK EVALUATION PAGES IN YOUR PACKET.
THEY ARE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. THEY ARE PINK.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT YOUR NAMES ON THESE BUT IT IS A RATING.
DID WE DO THE ONE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT LAST NIGHT? SUPPOSED TO BE ONE FOR EACH NIGHT. BUT WHY DON'T YOU DO ALL OF IT ON ONE.
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A HEADING ON IT. SO YOU CAN USE THIS.
>> COULD WE DO THIS AFTER WE CLOSE OUT THE MEETING? >> I JUST NEED TO GET THEM
TONIGHT IT IS YOUR CHOICE. >> JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT CUT YOU OFF.
