PANDEMIC AND ALSO A SHOUTOUT TO CAROL SWAN SON AND DOUG FOR OUR[00:36:10]
VACCINATION CLINIC. THE LOGISTICS OF MAKING IT[00:36:14]
HAPPEN I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO[00:36:19]
MAKING IT FLOW. I WAS HAPPY AGAIN TO BE OUT[00:36:22]
THERE VOLUNTEERING ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT'S ACTUALLY[00:36:26]
GOTTEN DARK AND A LITTLE BIT COLD.[00:36:28]
DON'T FORGET FOR ALL OF OUR UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED STAFF AND STUDENTS APPARENTS WE HAVE -- AND THEIR PARENTS.WE HAVE A HEALTH CLINIC OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY 7:00 TO 7:00 TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY FOR SIGHT, HEARING, PHYSICAL, SPORTS, OTHER THINGS, WE HAVE NOW THAT OPEN NEXT DOOR FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED THAT NEED THOSE SERVICES. THANK YOU TO WHO ALL MADE THAT HAPPEN.
>> I'M GRATEFUL TO OUR CAFE DEPARTMENT FOR THE WORK THEY'VE BEEN DOING WITH OUR STUDENT VOICES AND CONNECTING WITH OUR STUDENTS. EXTENDING THAT WORK AND MAKE UGH IT A HECK OF A LOT BETTER. ALREADY ABLE TO GIVE US FEEDBACK FROM OUR STUDENTS AND WHERE THEY WANT MORE OR SEE OTHER THINGS.
>> WE WERE ASKED THE OTHER DAY WHY IS NATOMAS UNIFIED HAVING A HEALTH CLINIC. I THINK THE QUESTION IS WHY AREN'T MORE SCHOOL DISTRICTS DOING IT.
EVERYTHING FROM HELPING ATHLETES BE ABLE TO GET PHYSICALS ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS STRAINED RIGHT NOW YOU CAN GO GET PHYSICALS AND BE ELIGIBLE FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, OR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
SO MANY YEARS WE HEARD TEACHERS TALK ABOUT THEY WERE WORRIED THEIR KIDSES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WITHOUT GLASSES OR HAVE HEARING PROBLEMS OR RECURRING HEALTH PROBLEMS. NOW WE HAVE THE ABILITY AT LEAST FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO MEET OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHERE THEY NEED TO BE WITH THEIR HEALTH AND VISION AND HEARING. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE'LL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF THAT IS GG OFF ONE TIME
[00:40:02]
MONEY BUT THE FACT THAT WE CAN DOIT RIGHT NOW IS PHENOMENAL AND I'M GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATIVE FOR THE BOARD FOR SUPPORTING THOSE THINGS ESPECIALLY AS WE ENTER THE HOLIDAY SEASON.[XIV. PRESENTATIONS]
THANK YOU.>>. >> IT'S CLEAR IN THE SUMMER OF 2001 THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATE ADOPTED CRITERIA AWARDING THIS GRANT WITH THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING FUNDS FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND TO PROMOTE EDUCATOR EQUITY QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS. THERE'S FOUR BASIC MANDATES.
IT'S ONE TIME FUNDING. EACH DISTRICT WILL RECEIVE A LITTLE OVER $2,400 PER TOTAL STAFF FTE RECORDED BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2020. FUNDS MUST ONLY BE USED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, PARA PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK WITH STUDENTS AND CLASSIFIED STAFF THAT INTERACT WITH STUDENTS. ANY QUESTIONS?
>> I THINK IT'S GREAT. ENGINEER IT'S A WISE USE OF FUNDS THAT WE'RE CONCENTRATING ON LITERACY AS WE KNOW THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
AS WELL AS LOOKING AT OUR INDUCTION TEACHER COST.
ANY SUPPORTS WE CAN GIVE TO OUR NEW TEACHERS IS WELCOMED AND I KNOW THEY NEED IT AND I SUPPORT THAT AS WELL.
>> YEAH. I'M EXCITED ABOUT AS I LOOK AT THE MULTIYEAR FINANCIAL PLAN I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS IN WHICH THAT MONEY WILL BE USED.
AND I KNOW BECAUSE SOME OF THESE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND I KNOW THAT THE INDUCTION AND TEACHER COSTS INCREASE FROM WHAT WE ORIGINALLY WERE PAYING IN THIS DISTRICT AND THAT'S NOT ONE COST THAT'S GOING TO GO AWAY. THAT WILL BE THERE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. >> I WANT TO ECHO THAT I LIKE THAT IT FOCUSES ON LITERACY RATES ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LITERACY RATES FOR BLACK STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT IS FAR BLOW WHERE IT SHOULD BE SO I WANTED TO JUST EXTEND MY
APPRECIATION FOR THAT. >> THANK YOU.
[XV. CELEBRATION]
THANK YOU.>> WE NOW WILL MOVE ON TO THE SECTION FOR CELEBRATION.
[00:45:09]
DEIDRA. AND THEN I HAVE LOTS OF PUBLIC COMMENTS.>> GOOD EVENING. IT IS MY HONOR TO ACKNOWLEDGE NATOMAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER AS SIKH AMERICAN AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION MONTH.
AS YOU KNOW NATOMAS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION AND HOME TO MANY SIKH FAMILIES.
WE APPRECIATE AND VALUE WHAT THEY BRING TO OUR COMMUNITY TO MAKE NATOMAS A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN LIVE, FEEL SAFE, AND BE EMBRACED. BECAUSE AWARENESS AND INCLUSION OF OUR DIVERSITY IS SO VITAL TO OUR COMMUNITY, I COLLABORATED WITH TWO DEAD KATED PARENTS -- DEDICATED PARENTS FROM OUR SIKH COMMUNITY TO HELP WITH PROVIDING CULTURALLY ENRICHING ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER.
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE BOTH OF THESE LADIES TO JOIN ME.
LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, SHARE HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN PART OF THE NATOMAS UNIFIED FAMILY, AND BRIEFLY SHARE HOW WE WORK TOGETHER TO BRING AWARENESS THIS MONTH.
>> I HAVE LIVED IN NATOMAS AREA SINCE 2004 AND HAVE BEEN PART OF NATOMAS UNIFIED FAMILY AS A PARENT, STAFF, SUBSTITUTE TEACHER SINCE 2011. BEING A SIKH IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO RECOGNIZE THIS MONTH SINCE A LOT OF KIDS WERE -- A LOT OF SIKH KIDS WERE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF MISIDENTIFICATION AND -- SORRY. BECAUSE OF MISIDENTIFICATION.
ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE KIDS BULLIED IN NATIONALLY IN THE U.S. SCHOOLS ARE SIKH KIDS. SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO RAISE THIS ISSUE. WE SHARE A SIKH VALUE THAT EVERYONE IS EQUAL, THERE SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENCES, NO DIFFERENCES BASED ON COLOR, CLASS, CREED, GENDER.
WE SHARE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TURBAN AND WHY IT SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. WE ALSO SHARE THAT SIKHS ARE ABOUT SERVICE AND HELPING OTHERS.
WE ALSO PARTNERED TO HOLD SCHOOLWIDE ASSEMBLIES AND CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
I BELIEVE WE'VE DONE ABOUT 11 ASSEMBLIES.
>> DURING THE -- SO BESIDES THESE WORKSHOPS WE DID IN THE SCHOOLS, THE AMAZING EXPERIENCE WAS HAVING THOSE QUESTIONS FROM THE ELEMENT STUDENTS WHICH WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING.
THE SECOND ONE IS BY TRUSTEE -- AND THEN EVERY STUDENT WHO PARTICIPATED IS GOING TO GET A GIFT CARD AND A CERTIFICATE AS WELL. THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE THE CHANCE TO -- WHICH WILL BE -- SO SINCE THIS YEAR I THINK COLLABORATION WITH THE DISTRICT NATOMAS SCHOOL FOUNDATION IT'S
[00:50:03]
BEEN AMAZING. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK THEM.
IT WAS JUST A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH BOTH OF THEM.
WE ALSO DID A POD CAST AND IT WAS SO ENJOYABLE.
I THINK WE LAUGHED MORE THAN ANYTHING JUST GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER. I LEARNED SO MUCH AND WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY TOO.
THANK YOU BOARD FOR JUST TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW US TO RECOGNIZE THIS MONTH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> OKAY. SO I HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT THAT I HAD NOTED EARLIER THAT WE WOULD CARRY OVER INTO THIS PART OF THE MEETING.
SO THERE ARE THREE -- THREE MEMBERS FROM -- I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ALL FROM THE SAME FAMILY MAYBE OR NOT FROM THE SAME FAMILY. I'M NOT GOING TO ASSUME THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO MISPRONOUNCE NAMES.
GO AHEAD. >> SO YOU UNDERSTAND DEVIN THAT THE GREEN LIGHT IS GOING TO GO ON FOR YOU.
>> HELLO. I'M ON THE BOARD OF SIKH HONORS AND SERVICE SOCIETY. WE ARE PART OF A LARGER ORGANIZATION WHICH ENGAGES WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO BUILD OUR CAPACITY AND CONNECT OUR YOUTH TO OUR ELDER GENERATIONS.
THROUGH DEDICATED YOUTH WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY ON OUR CAMPUSES, AND EVEN OTHER EVENTS.
THE WORD MEANS THE DOOR TO THE GROUP.
TABLING IS -- THROUGH EVENTS LIKE THESE I'M LUCKY TO ENGAGE
WITH TELLEDERS IN MY COMMUNITY. >> I'M A CURRENT RESIDENT IN THE NATOMAS AREA. I ACTUALLY JUST CAME OUT HERE RECENTLY. I WANTED TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SPEAK ABOUT REPRESENTATION AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
THE REASON WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE SIKH KIDS WE HAVE DEALT WITH BULLYING IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS.
NOT JUST OTHER KIDS, TEACHERS, STAFF.
OUR WHOLE LIFE WE'VE HAD THIS STRUGGLE AND FOR ME PERSONALLY I WANT TO VOLUNTEER MORE OUT IN THESE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP THESE KIDS BASICALLY LEARN TO LOVE THEIR OWN IDENTITY EVEN MORE AND THE REASON THAT'S SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IF YOU SITTING ON THE BOARD OR THE EVERYDAY PERSON SEES THE TURBAN ON MY HEAD AND INSTANTLY THINKS FEAR OR TERRORISM OR ANYTHING IGNORANT, THAT DOES NOT HELP ANYBODY AS A WHOLE SO FOR ME IT'S ALL ABOUT REPRESENTATION AND KNOWING IDENTITY.
BUT MORE SO EVERYBODY ELSE KNOWING IDENTITY.
EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS, HINDUISM, ISLAM. WHAT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT MY FAITH WAS IN SCHOOL THAT IT'S A MIX OF HINDU AND ISLAM WHICH SIN CORRECT. SO IDENTITY AND KNOWING AND REPRESENTATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IF ANYTHING THERE THESE KIDS SO THEY CAN LOVE THEMSELVES, GO HOME AND STILL LOVE THEY'LLS AND LOVE WHAT THEIR PARENTS ARE TELLING THEM TOO. FOR YOU UP ON THE BOARD AND WHETHER YOU GO HOME AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU OR NOT IT'S IMPORTANT TO SOMEONE SOMEWHERE AND FFKTS THEM EVERY DAY.
PLEASE KNOW WHAT A SIKH IS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW PLEASE RESEARCH IT ON YOUR OWN TIME. WE'RE ALL ABOUT EQUALITY AND
STANDING UP FOR JUSTICE. >> GOOD EVENING.
[00:55:16]
I'M THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR AND I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ACTIVITIES THAT WE TAKE PART IN, IN THIS SIKH HERITAGE WEEK. OUR CLUB MEMBERS DID A FUND RAISER FOR THE FARMERS PROTEST FOR THE PAST YEAR IN INDIA.YOU CAN SEARCH #FARMERSPROTEST FOR MORE INFORMATION.
BUT WE DECIDED TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE FARMERS AND DONATE TO ORGANIZATIONS HELPING FARMER PROTESTERS WITH FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR THE PAST YEAR. WE TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THOSE PROTESTERS OF AGES WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING ON THE STREETS FOR OVER A YEAR. THE FARMERS PROTEST IS AN ONGOING PROTEST AGAINST THREE FARM ACTS WHICH WERE PASSED BY THE PARLIAMENT OF INDIA IN SEPTEMBER 2020.
FARMERS HAVE BEEN PROTESTING CHANGES TO THE INDIA'S AGRICULTURE LAWS THEY SAY WOULD UNDERMINE THE AUTONOMY AS CULTIVATORS CREATING MONOPOLIES IN THE GRAIN MARKET AND TRAP FARMERS INTO CONTRACT FARMING WITH CORPORATE BUYERS ULTIMATELY LEADING TO THEM LOSING THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND ABILITY TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. THE REASON I BRING THIS UP IS BECAUSE THE INITIAL WAVE OF PROTESTERS STARTED IN PUNJAB.
>> ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT SET OF SPEAKERS WHO HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK.
JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE
>> GOOD EVENING, EASTERN. I'M ON THE BOARD OF SIKH HONORS AND SERVICE SOCIETY CLUB. WE ARE HERE TODAY REPRESENTING THE MOVEMENT. THE MOVEMENT IS A GRASS ROOTS COMMUNITY BUILDING ORGANIZATION WORKING TO EMPOWER EDUCATE AND ORGANIZE PUNJABI SIKHS AND OTHER MARGINALIZE COMMUNITIES.
WE WORK TO ADVANCE THEIR HEALTH AND ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL AND POLITICAL POWER. WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO GET VOFLED WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOCIETIES AND COMMUNITIES.
I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE OF THE MANY WAYS WE GHIF BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A MEAL SHARING PROGRAM FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
EACH MONTH WE GET TOGETHER TO MAKE FOOD OR HYGIENE KITS FOR THOSE IN 23450ED. WE ARE INSPIRED BY THE COMPONENT OF -- WHICH REFERS TO THE VALUE OF DOING SELFLESS SERVICE AND IS ONE OF THE CORE BELIEFS OF SIKHS.
I'M PROUD TO SEE MANY OF OUR STUDENTS TAKING PART IN OUR PROGRAMMING.
>> TODAY WE'RE HERE TO REPRESENT OUR ORGANIZATION MOVEMENT.
WE HAVE OVER 800 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT ARE PART OF 60 CHAPTERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
PROGRAMS LIKE SIH HERITAGE MONTH ARE CRUCIAL TO CREATE A COMMUNITY THAT EVERYONE FEELS COMFORTABLE AND INVITED INTO.
THIS WEEK FROM NOVEMBER 15TH TOO 19TH WE ARE HOSTING SIKH HERITAGE WEEK AT ALL CHAPTERS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
IT IS CENTERED TO CELEBRATE OUR HERITAGE, IDENTITY, AND HISTORY.
ON THIS MONDAY OVER 200 KIDS ACROSS CALIFORNIA GOT TOGETHER ON ZOOM TO WATCH A BASICS OF LIFE VIDEO ABOUT A HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE. IT WAS OVERALL A GREAT
[01:00:02]
EXPERIENCE WHERE WE GOT TO CONNECT WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE AND FURTHER EDUCATE OURSELVES. ON TUESDAY EVERYONE GOT THE CHANCE TO POST INSPIRATION THEY FIND FROM SIKH ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIAS. TODAY OUR CLUBS HAVE BEEN TABLING AT LUNCH TO NOTIFY OUR SCHOOL MORE ON SIKH HISTORY AND OTHER RELIGIOUS ATTRIBUTES. WE ALSO WROTE PEOPLE'S NAME'S NAMES IN A SIKH SCRIPT.>> AND OUR FINAL SPEAKER FOR THIS TOPIC IS -- CELEBRATION.
SHE'S NOT HERE. OKAY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU THAT CAME OUT THIS EVENING TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS CELEBRATION ISSUE.
[01:05:24]
[APPLAUSE].>> AND IF ANY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ARE HERE WANT TO GO HOME AND DO THEIR HOMEWORK, WE WOULD UNDERSTAND.
OKAY. JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW.
ARE ANY OF THE TEACHERS THAT NEED TO LEAVE TO GO DO THE WORK
[XVI. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
TOO. ALL RIGHT.ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MOVE THROUGH THESE. WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU DO COME OUT AND CARE TO SPEAK TO US AND SHARE YOUR CONCERNS.
YOU ARE LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES. I AM GOING -- I'M GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THEM IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE RECEIVED THIS EVENING.
SO RACHEL, IS RACHEL HERE? OKAY. SO RACHEL, LAURA, DOMINGUEZ, AND ANNIE K AND AVID ADIA.
YOU CAN COME UP ONE AT A TIME BUT JUST KNOW THAT'S KIND OF THE ORDER THEN. HI.
I'M RACHEL. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT VACCINE MANDATES.
A COUPLE OF MY COHORTS ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF VACCINES. I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT NATURAL IMMUNITY. A NEW STUDY PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER OF 2021 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE VIRAL LOAD BETWEEN VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED PEOPLE WHO FOUND A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DELTA VARIANT. THE CONCLUSION I'M DRAWING IS THAT THIS SHOWS THAT THE VACCINES DON'T REDUCE TRANSMISSION. WHICH WAS ADMITTED BY THE CDC DIRECTOR. THEY DON'T PREVENT INFECTION OR REDUCE TRANSMISSION. U.K. HOSPITAL DATA SHOWS COVID-19 DEATHS ARE 3,000 PERCENT HIGHER NOW COMPARED TO THIS TIME. THE LATEST DATA FROM PUBLIC HEALTH SHOWS JUST HO DANGEROUS VACCINE WORSHIP AND COERCION IS.
FROM FEBRUARY 21ST TO SEPTEMBER THE UNVACCINATED REPRESENTED JUST 28% OF COVID FATALITIES. FURTHER MORE, THERE ARE 128 STUDIES THAT SHOW NATURAL IMMUNITY THE NATURAL IMMUNITY THAT YOU GET AFTER RECOVERING FROM COVID IS FAR SUPERIOR AND LONGER LASTING THAN WHAT YOU GET FROM THE COVID SHOT.
MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS HAD COVID WITH MILD SYMPTOMS. ANY GROUP THAT HAS TRIED TO FORCE MANDATES ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS. WHAT I'M ASKING FROM YOU IS TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AND PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING TO STATE YOU WON'T ENFORCE MANDATES FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF.
I'M A PHARMACEUTICAL REP AND I'VE PROMOTED PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET FOR LESS ADVERSE EVENTS THAN WHAT THESE VACCINES HAD REPORTED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. I'M LAURA DOMINGUEZ.
MY TWO CHILDREN APT TEND STAR ACADEMY.
I AM ASKING THIS BOARD TO PUT ON THE AGENDA AND DRAFT A RESOLUTION THAT APPOSES THE VACCINE MANDATE.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DISCOURAGE THE VACCINE.
I'M ASKING YOU TO ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS FOR PARENTS TO CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SPECIAL GROUPS THAT SHOULD BE AFFORDED THE RIGHT TO GET THE VACCINE, MANDATING THIS VACCINE FOR ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF THEIR HEALTH STATUS IS UNJUST AND DANGEROUS.
WE HAVE NO LONG TERM SAFETY DATA.
THIS HAS CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO OPT OUT OF RECEIVING THE VACCINE AT THIS TIME. I HAVE TWO HEALTHY CHILDREN WHOSE IMMUNE SYSTEM EFFECTIVELY FOUGHT THIS VIRUS.
ONE HAD MINOR SYMPTOMS AND THE OTHER HAD NONE.
THEIR NATURAL IMMUNITY HAS CONTINUED TO PROTECT THEM TODAY.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A JUSTIFIED REQUIREMENT FOR MY CHILDREN TO RECEIVE THIS VACCINE AND RISK ANY RARE BUT DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS. THESE VACCINES DO NOT PREVENT
[01:10:02]
CONTRACTING OR TRANSMITTING THE VIRUS AND IGNORING NATURAL IMMUNITY IS IGNORING SCIENCE. WE ASK YOU TO FOLLOW THE SCIENCE AND NOT THE MONEY OR THE POLITICS.DESPITE THE AMAZING LEADERSHIP AT STAR ACADEMY AND THE SUPPORT PROVIDED OUR CHILDREN IN THE PANDEMIC, MY CHILDREN HAD ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND LEARNING ISSUES IN THIS CHALLENGING TIME. REQUIRING THEM TO TAKE A VACCIN AS A CONDITION FOR IN PERSON LEARNING IS COERCION AND FURTHER DIVIDES OUR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY.
I'M AFRAID OF WHAT FURTHER DAMAGE A DECISION LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE ON OUR CHILDREN. MANY PARENTS INCLUDING MYSELF WOULD HAVE TO PULL OUR KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL IF THIS MANDATE IS ENFORCED. WHAT IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT CAN'T HOME SCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN.
WHO BEARS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ONE OF OUR CHILDREN IF ONE OF THEM DIES OR IS INJURED FROM THE VACCINE? YOU ALL SERVE A DIVERSE COMMUNITY WHOSE CHILDREN ARE JUST AS BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE AS PARENTS.
IT'S OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS FOR OUR CHILDRENS' UNIQUE HEALTH SITUATIONS.
>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANNIE KAY AND MY TWO SONS ATTEND SCHOOL IN THIS DISTRICT.
HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST IF A CHILD HAS AN AT VERSE REACTION OR ILLNESS TO THE COVID SCRUBBING SEEN THE CHILD AND PARENTS ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES MOST AFFECTED.
THE PARENTS WILL BE THE ONES TAKING THEIR CHILD TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS AND POSSIBLY EVEN PAYING FOR THESE UNKNOWN MEDICAL COSTS. IF A CHILD DIES, THE CHILD'S LIFE ON EARTH WILL END TRAGICALLY.
AND PARENTS WILL BE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO GRIEVE THEIR LOSS, MAKE THEIR FUNERAL ARRANGE 789S AND TRY TO MOVE ON IN THEIR LIVES WITHOUT THEIR CHILD. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, SINCE APRIL 2021 INCREASED CASES OF MYOCARDITIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THE UNITED STATES AFTER MRNA COVID VACCINATION PARTICULARLY IN ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS. I HAVE GO SONS SO THIS CONCERNS ME PERSONALLY FOR OUR FAMILY. IF YOU MANDATE THIS VACCINE, SOME PARENTS MAY FEEL FORCED TO GET IT FOR THEIR CHILDREN JUST SO THEY CAN ATTEND IN PERSON SCHOOL.
AS A RESULT IF THERE ARE ANY ADVERSE EVENTS OR DEATHS AT NATOMAS STUDENTS ARE YOU READY TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION? YES, I SAID YOUR DECISION.
YOU MAY SAY IT'S NOT UP TO YOU. IT'S THE DECISION OF STATE OR COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH BUT YOU STILL HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE.
YOU GET TO DECIDE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN UP STANDER.
OUR CHILDREN WERE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL IN THIS VERY DISTRICT TO BE UP STANDERS. WILL YOU BE AN UP STANDER FOR OUR STUDENTS? OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE STANDING UP IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAND TO YOU A RESOLUTION FROM LUCERN VALLEY FOR OUR ARE VIEW WHERE YOU CAN SEE BOTH DISTRICTS ARE NOT ENFORCING THE VACCINE MANDATE. I'LL EMAIL YOU THE DOCUMENTS.
SINCE PARENTS AND CHILDREN HAVE THE MOST TO LOSE WILL YOU STAND UP AGAINST THE VACCINE MANDATE AS WELL? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. [APPLAUSE].
>> MY NAME IS DAVE. JUST TO ADVISE EVERYBODY HERE, IN THE U.K. A SCHOOL BOARD AND THE PEOPLE THAT INJECTED A CHILD THAT DIED ARE CURRENTLY BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER.
OKAY. THAT'S SOMETHING EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW.
THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 250,000 COVID INJECTION DEATHS RIGHT NOW MINIMUM. IT CAN BE AS HIGH AS 500,000.
IT'S NOT BEING REPORTED. THERE'S LOTS OF DEFICIENTS AND FRAUD IN THE SYSTEM. PCR TESTS AS WE KNOW IS COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT SO THIS WHOLE PANDEMIC REGARDING TESTS AND STATISTICS USED TO JUSTIFY THE ACTIONS IS FRAUDULENT.
[01:15:30]
>> THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBURG.
HOW DOES IT BREAK MY HEART -- BREAK A GIRL'S HEART THAT THE WHITE RACE IS THE WORST RACE. IT HURTS ME DEEPLY AND I FEEL HER PAIN. THIS IS WHY I AM HERE.
FOR GOD, THE STUDENTS, THE COMMUNITY, AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR TIME EFFORTS AND LIFE TO ESTABLISH SERVE AND DEFEND
THIS GREAT NATION. >> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. >> I AM NOT ANTIVAX, HOWEVER, I AM PRO-CHOICE. WHEN IT COMES TO THIS NEW VACCINE FOR A VIRUS THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE EXTREMELY RESILIENT TO. MANY STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY HAD COVID AND HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY. I WATCHED THE FULL FOUR HOUR FDA ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING FOR THE EMERGENCY USE OF THE VACCINE AND THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE AGREED IT'S NOT NEEDED FOR HEALTHY CHILDREN. THEY RECOMMENDED EVERY PARENT -- I'M SORRY. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR HIGH RISK CHILDREN. IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERY PARENT AND BOARD MEMBER GO DO SO AND IT WAS EXTREMELY EYE OPENING. ONE MEMBER EVEN STATED THEY WOULD NOT KNOW IF THE VACCINE WAS SAFE UNTIL THEY STARTED
ADMINISTERING IT. >>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD.
I WANTED TO MAKE A BRIEF COMMENT.
THIS IS ABOUT THE VACCINE MANDATES.
NOW, EVERYONE HERE SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH OSHA. THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS TRYING TO USE OSHA TO FORCE VACCINE MANDATES THROUGH EMPLOYERS.
AND THAT WAS OVERTURNED. A FEDERAL COURT SAID THAT THEY WERE UN-CONSTITUTIONAL. NOW I AM CURRENTLY IN COURT WITH GAVIN NEWSOM OVER HIS UN-CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATES.
IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LIKE ME IN A FEDERAL COURT WILL PUT A STOP TO THESE MANDATES.
TO UN-CONSTITUTIONALLY VACCINATE THESE CHILDREN.
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO NOT FORCE THESE VACCINES.
TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT GOES THROUGH THE COURTS.
JOE BIDEN WAS TRYING TO PUSH THIS ON ADULTS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY. OUR SYSTEM WORKED.
IT SPOKE UP. IT PROTECTED ADULTS.
NOW I ASK YOU TO DO YOUR JOB. PROTECT THE CHILDREN OF THIS COMMUNITY. JUST WAIT.
[01:20:01]
AND GIVE THE CHILDREN A BREAK. GIVE THE PARENTS THE CHOICE OF WHETHER THEY WANT THESE CHILDREN VACCINATED.IF THEY WANT THEM MASKED. ALL OF THE DATA IS STILL NEW ON BOTH SIDES. BUT THE FDA DOES AGREE THAT CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS FIVE DO NOT NEED THESE VACCINES.
I DON'T NEED TO REPEAT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HERE HAS SAID.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU THE LAW IS ON THE SIDE OF THE PARENTS AND THE CHILDREN AND I'M ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT THEM.
>> I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE MASK MANDATES AS WELL AS THE VACCINES. I'M JUST GOING TO READ A LITTLE BIT HERE. THIS IS ABOUT THE MASK.
NOW THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE NECESSITATING THE WEARING OF A FACE MASK FOR PREVENTION, ARE THERE DANGERS TO WEARING A FACE MASK ESPECIALLY FOR LONG PERIODS? SEVERAL STUDIES HAVE INDEED FOUND SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH WEARING SUCH A MASK.
THIS CAN BE FROM HEADACHES TO INCREASED AIRWAY RESISTANCE, CARBON DIE DIOXIDE ACCUMULATION TO HYPOXIAALL THE WAY TO SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATIONS. THE MASK IS NOT GOING TO PROTECT YOU. THE MASK IS LIKE PUTTING IT DOES NO GOOD. THE ONLY REASON I'M WEARING IT IS BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO BE POLITE.
THE COVID-19 AND THE VACCINATIONS.
THE SIDE EFFECTS IDENTIFIED BY CDC'S VACCINE ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING SYSTEM IS ONLY 1% BETWEEN 1 TO 10% ACTUAL REPORTING. HERE'S THE NUMBERS THAT I JUST GOT TODAY. 875,651 COVID ADVERSE EVENTS.
91,982 HOSPITALIZATIONS. 2,887 MISCARRIAGES.
18,461 DEATHS. 29,104 PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
I BELIEVE. AND 04 PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR COMMENTS.
YOUR TWO MINUTES ARE UP. THANK YOU.
>>> WHO ARE WE THE CITIZENS OF OUR OTHERWISE LOVING ACCEPTING AND UP LIFTING COMMUNITY TO DICTATE A CHILD'S RYINGS TO THE EDUCATION STRUCTURE OUR COUNTRY HAS HAD IN PLACE SINCE 1849.
THIS IS NOT A DEBATE ON WHETHER OR NOT THE VACCINE IS EFFECTIVE.
I AM FULLY VACCINATED, WEAR MY MASK ALMOST RELIGIOUSLY AND WILL NOT HESITATE TO GET TESTED IF NEED BE.
WHEN SPEAKING TO A RANDOM POOL OF PEOPLE AT MY SCHOOL THEY UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT THEY WOULD ADHERE TO COVID PROTOCOLS MEANING THEIR FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS PROTECTED.
WITH THESE PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE WHY PUSH IT TO A POINT WHERE A HUGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS LET ALONE ONE MUST RISK LOSING THEIR
[01:25:01]
EDUCATION OVER A POLITICIZED VACCINE.THINK ABOUT YOUR PRIORITIES AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE CONTRADICTING THE 14TH AMENDMENT. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU? PONDER IT. I CAN ONLY HOPE YOUR PRIORITIES WILL BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBERS. I WAS AT ONE OF THE LAST MEETINGS AND ONE THING I ENJOYED SEEING WAS THE SWEARING IN OF THE NEWEST BOARD MEMBER. I WITNESSED THE OATH TAKEN TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION. OUR CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS TO ALL CITIZENS AT ALL TIMES.
DID YOU REALIZE THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, ADOPTED IN A PERIOD OF GRAVE EMERGENCY.
LIMITATION OF POWER OF THE STATE IS NOT ALTERED BY ANY EMERGENCY.
WHERE THERE IS RISK, THERE MUST BE CHOICE.
SURVIVAL RATE FOR KIDS 0 TO 18 IS 99.# # 7%.
RISK BENEFIT ANALYSIS EXPERT DR. TOBY ROGERS ANALYZES WE WILL KILL 117 KIDS IN ORDER TO SAVE ONE CHILD FROM COVID.
I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY ON BEHALF OF COUNTLESS CONCERNED PARENTS. WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUR CHILDREN TO BE A LAB EXPERIMENT. WE WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO PROTECT THEM. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WE BEG OF YOU, DO THE RIGHT THING. LET'S NOT SO QUICKLY FOLLOW SUIT AND REPEAT THE PARTS OF HISTORY THAT LIVE IN INFAMY.
LET'S NOT PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT TO FOLLOW.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SWORE AND OATH TO UPHOLD.
>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS -- JOE OR AARON?
>>> SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR EVERYONE AS PROMISED.
I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. BUT I DO KNOW HOW TO READ SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE AND THE HUMAN BODY IS TOO COMPLEX FOR A ONE SIZE FITS ALL MEDICAL APPROACH OF ANY KIND.
IN THE LAST BOARD MEETING THREE PARENTS VOICED THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE KNOWN DANGERS OF THE COVID VACCINES.
SOME INFORMATION I HEARD WAS SHOCKING.
BUT WHAT SHOCKED ME MORE WAS WHAT MOTIVATED ME TO SPEAK TODAY WAS THE ABSOLUTE DISMISSAL OF THEIR INPUT.
EVERY BOARD MEMBER AT THAT MEETING I IGNORED THOSE COMMENTS COMPLETELY AND ADVOCATED ALL PARENTS AND VOLUNTEERS MUST BE VACCINATED. EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ACCEPTED FACT THAT PERSONS WHO HAVE VACCINATED CAN BOTH CATCH AND
[01:30:08]
SPREAD COVID-19. >> GOOD EVENING.
I'VE BEEN A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF NATOMAS PARK.
MY SON IS TEA YEARS OLD IN FOURTH GRADE.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF AND FOR ALL STUDENTS OF NUSD WHO ARE DAILY MS. ALLED WITH MASKS TO FIGHT A VIRUS THAT IS 99.98% SURVIVAL. WHEN I SEE MY SON I TELL HIM TO TAKE THIS RAG OFF HIS FACE IMMEDIATELY.
OFTEN HIS FRIENDS WOULD GREET ME.
I DON'T RECOGNIZE THEM BECAUSE THEIR FACES WERE COVERED OR PARENTS WOULD SAY HELLO AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY BRIEFLY SAY IT'S ME. I OFTEN ASK MY SON HOW WAS YOUR SCHOOL TODAY? AND HE WOULD SAY MY TEACHERS TOLD SOME OF FRIENDS TO PUT YOUR MASK OVER YOUR FACE AND IN RECESS THEY WOULD YELL AT STUDENTS PLAYING OUTSIDE TO PUT YOUR NOSE OVER THE NOSE. THIS IS DEMORALIZING OUR KIDS.
MASKS HAVE BECOME A CES POOL FOR BACTERIA.
A BIG PART OF A CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL WELL BEING IS SEEING THE EMOTION OF TEACHERS AND FRIENDS.
HAPPINESS, EXCITEMENT, JOY, CURIOSITY, ANGER, SADNESS ARE ALL HIDDEN WHINED A MASK. INSTEAD OF PROMOTING FEAR AND GOVERNMENT CONTROL THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD BE PROMOTING WAYS TO STREPTHEN OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM THROUGH HEALTHY EATING AND EXERCISING. I'LL EMAIL YOU A COPY OF THE NEW JUDGMENT STATING MASKS ARE A RECOMMENDATION AND SCHOOLS CANNOT REFUSE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS NOT WEARING MASKS. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> PRESIDENT HERREDIA, I APOLOGIZE.
FOR THE RECORD, MAY I ANNOUNCE THE E-COMMENTS RERECEIVED?
>> YES. >> I'LL RESEND THE ADJOURNMENT -- I'LL RESCIND THE ADJOURNMENT.
>> OKAY. >> SO WE RECEIVED 15 COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
