GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT GRANT, TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT, STAFF AND COMMUNITY.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO RECOGNIZE WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, A MONTH WHERE WE TAKE THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF WOMEN.

WHILE THE FOLLOWING YOUNG LADIES THAT I'M GOING TO HIGH LIGHT TONIGHT ARE NOT WOMEN YET, THEY'RE CULTTIVE EIGHTING THE SKILLS AND TENACITY TO BE OUR FUTURE WOMEN LEADERS. THEY'RE EXAMPLES OF OUR FUTURE WOMEN LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE NATOMAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO HIGH LIGHT FIVE OF THEM. FIRST SAMARRA YEMAIN IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE WOMEN LEADERS FROM AMERICAN LAKE SCHOOL, SHE IS A MEMBER OF THE BROWN AND BEAUTIFUL CLUB, A CLUB AIMED TO CULTIVATE APPRECIATES AND SELF-LOVE FOR GIRLS OF COLOR. SHE ACTIVELY KEEPS THE CLUB GOING AND PROVIDES FRESH IDEAS.

SHE REPRESENTS THE POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND CONTRIBUTES TO STUDENTS AND CAMPUS IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY. IMAG WILLIAMS IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE WOMEN LEADERS FROM NATOMAS PARK ELEMENTARY, AT ONLY 10 SHE KNOWS HOW SHE IS GOING TO IMPACT THE WORLD.

SHE'LL SHARE HER TALENTED GIFT AS A PROFESSIONAL

[00:05:02]

SHE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A YOUNG LADY WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS AND FEARLESSLY GOES AFTER IT.

EVELENE VELASQUEZ IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE LEADERS FROM ENDERRUM KUM HIGH SCHOOL. A HIGH-PERFORMING STUDENT, SHE IS ALWAYS DEDICATED TO HELPING OTHERS.

IT'S NO WONDER THEY'RE HER GOAL AFTER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE IS TO BE AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY.

BROOK ADAMS IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE WOMEN LIVERS FROM TWO RIVERS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SHE IS A SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL SECRETARY AND SENDS E-MAILS TO HER PRINCIPAL AND ARRANGE MEETINGS WHEN SHE HAS GREAT IDEAS FOR THE SCHOOLS. AND LASTLY, MUSKAN IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE LEADERS, SHE LEADS BY EXAMPLE WITH GRACE AND DETERMINATION, SHE IS AN A.S.B.LEADER AND THINKS OUTSIDE THE BOX TO FIND WAYS FOR STUDENTS TO STAY CONNECTED. SHE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN PLANNING EVENTS TO BRING STUDENTS BACK TOGETHER AND REIGNITE THE CULTURE OF FAMILY THAT IS CHERISHED ON THE L.G.A.CAMPUS. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR ALL OF THESE YOUNG LADIES, I KNOW THEY'LL MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT IN THEIR CHOSEN FIELDS IN OUR WORLD.

WITH THAT, I LIKE TO CLOSE BY WISHING ALL THE WOMEN IN NATOMAS UNIIDENTIFY A WONDERFUL WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. THANK YOU.

[XI. COMMUNICATIONS]

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, DEIDRA.

NEXT UP IS COMMUNICATIONS CS.E.A.

>> ALL RIGHTY. ALL RIGHTY.

IT'S NICE TO BE IN PERSON. WE'VE DONE THIS ROOM AND -- THE ZOOM AND COMMUNES VIA E-MAIL BUT IT'S REALLY NICE TO BE HERE PRESENT THIS EVENING.

WITH THAT, GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT EVANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

C. S. E. A. WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK OUR COMMUNITY FOR COMING TOGETHER DURING THIS TRAGIC EVENT AND DEVASTATING LOSS.

WE ALSO APPRECIATE ALL THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THAT WAS PROVIDED TO OUR FAMILIES AND STAFF ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT. WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO ALL OUR FEMALE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES AND THE CONTRIBUTE BRUISES THEY'VE PROVIDED TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WE CELEBRATE WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.

LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THEM. C. S. E. A. IS CONTINUING TO WORK WITH STAFF THROUGHOUT THE DIFFICULT TIME.

WE'RE WATCHING AND FEELING THE AFFECTS OF INFLATION THAT WE'VE NOT SEEN SINCE THE 80S.

THE COST OF LIVING IS CONTINUING TO SOAR AND HAS PUT A HOLE IN THE POCKETS OF OUR MEMBERS.

JUST THE BASICS LIKE PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND PUTTING GAS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BECOME A LUXURY WITH MANY OF OUR MEMBERS RESORTING TO FOOD BANKS.

WE UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR CURRENT TIMES AND JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE TO HAVE EMPATHY AND BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THE STRUGGLES THAT OTHERS ARE CURRENTLY FACING.

WE CAN AGREE THIS HAS BEEN A VERY CHALLENGING YEAR, TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS UNPRECEDENTED TIMES HAVE TAUGHT US TO REMAIN TOGETHER AND HELP ONE ANOTHER. C. S. E. A. HAS EXCESSIVELY BEEN WORKING HARD AND IS PREPARED TO GO INTO NEGOTIATIONS AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING IN A COLLABORATE WAY TO BRING FORTH PROPOSES THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES.

C. S. E. A. CONTINUES TO WORK WITH ADMINISTRATIVE STRAIN -- ADMINISTRATORS TO RESOLVE ISSUES.

IN SOLIDARITY TO OUR BOARD. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP THE N.T.A. [INAUDIBLE]

>> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

IT IS NICE TO SEE YOU ALL IN PERSON AS WELL.

GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

EVERYBODY ELSE. SO THIS MORNING THE DISTRICT

[00:10:03]

THE ARTICLE WAS TITLED WHAT KIDS WISH THEIR TEACHERS KNEW. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE READ IT BUT IT REQUIRED A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEW YORK TIMES AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT SO I COULDN'T BUT IT DID MENTION THINGS ABOUT MUCH OF WHAT YOU ARE SHARING VIA THE TIP E-MAILS. WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INFORMED PRACTICES, ALSO NEEDS TO BE OBSERVED BY OUR MANAGEMENT. WHILE I SEE NAT MAH BEIGE I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S CONSIDERED AT ALL OF THE SITES WHEN DECISIONS ARE MADE.

EVERYTHING THAT APPLIES TO THE STUDENTS IN THOSE E-MAILS APPLIES TO EDUCATORS AS WELL.

IN A WAY TONIGHT'S COMMENTS ARE WHAT EDUCATORS WISH THEIR ADMINISTRATORS KNEW. FROM WHAT I COULD TELL, TODAY'S MESSAGE SEEMED TO BE ABOUT RECOGNIZING STUDENT CHALLENGES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL AND HOW THEY IMPACT IN CLASS EXPERIENCES. STUDENTS NEED A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND SO DO TEACHERS.

AS WE MOVE TO ADOPT A NEW STATE GUIDELINES ON MASKING, JUST ASKING WE RECOGNIZE TEACHERS WE HAVE THAT ARE SHOWING UP IN THEIR CLASSROOM EVERYDAY BUT OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS MIGHT BE ILL, GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENTS OR JUST TOO YOUNG TO BE VACCINATED. THIS RISK WEIGHS HEAVY ON OUR MEMBERS RIGHT NOW. THE STATE IS TAKING AWAY THE ONE LAST PROTECTION THAT MADE MANY MEMBERS FEEL SAFE.

OUR TEACHING ENVIRONMENT IS OUR STUDENTS' LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. I JUST LEFT A MEETING BEFORE I CAME HERE WITH A TEACHER WHO IS IMMUNO COMPROMISED.

SHE TEACHES A SUBJECT THAT CAN'T BE COVERED BY ANYBODY ELSE. HE CANNOT BE IN A ROOM WITH OUT MASKED STUDENTS AND WILL LIKELY TAKE EARLY LEAVE.

HE IS QUESTIONING HIS CAREER AND HIS FUTURE IN EDUCATION.

MORE THAN THAT THE TEACHER IS DEALING WITH THE GUILT OF HAVING TO LEAVE STUDENTS IN A PROGRAM.

WE'RE ASKING THE SITE ADMIN. BE AWARE OF THAT AND RECOGNIZE THERE ARE THINGS WE WISH YOU KNEW.

AND IF YOU SEE THE ADDED STRESS BE AWARE OF WHERE IT'S COMING FROM. THE TRAUMA INFORMED TRAINING WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SOCIAL WORKERS AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM BECAUSE IT IS THE WEEK OF THE SOCIAL WORKER. ALONG WITH THE STAFF THAT SUPPORTS OUR STUDENT BEYOND CLASSROOM TEACHERS SOCIAL WORKERS IN OUR DISTRICT ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

THROUGH THE LAST TWO YEARS THEY'VE BEEN RELIED ON TO PROVIDE SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF FACING CHALLENGES. THROUGH ALL OF THIS, THE SOCIAL WORKERS TAKE ON THE TRAUMA AND ARE FACED WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS VICARIOUS TRAUMA.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS CHRIS YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR MEMBERS WHO NEEDED IT. RECENT TRAGEDY IN OUR COMMUNITY SHOWED US WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

MANY OF OUR MEMBERS AND OUR FAMILIES ARE STILL COPING WITH THIS BUT OUR SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE CONTINUED TO DO ALL OF WHAT THEY DO WHILE BEING DENIED A CONVERSATION AT THE TABLE REGARDING THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS.

THEY'VE DONE ALL OF THIS WHILE NOT BEING ABLE TO TREAT THEIR OPEN VICK YOUR AS YOU TRAUMA.

THEY DON'T GET THE DOWNTIME TO RECOVER FROM THE BURDENS THEY CARRY. THIS IS COSTING US SOCIAL WORKERS ALREADY. IT'LL COST US MORE IN THE FUTURE. IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD TO CREATE COMMUNITY WHEN THOSE WHO HOLD YOU TOGETHER HAVE TO LEAVE SO THEY CAN HOLD THEMSELVES TOGETHER.

IT'S TIMELY THAT ALL OF THIS IS COMING TOGETHER AGAIN AS WE GO INTO THE BARGAINING TABLE.

YOU WILL SEE THAT OUR PROPOSES WILLING FOLLOWING THE SHARED BELIEF WE HAVE WITH THE DISTRICT EDUCATORS IS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A WORK LIFE BALANCE.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT EXHAUSTION IS DRIVING EDUCATORS FROM SCHOOLS AND TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN THE PEOPLE WE NEED THERE HAS TO BE CHANGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT WE WORK IN. WE CAN'T AVOID TRAUMA FOR WHAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.

BUT THERE IS A QUOTE FROM DR. TRACY GREEN THAT HAS BEEN CIRCULATING THAT SUMS UP HOW MANY OF US FEEL.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE RESILIENT TO HAVE TO DO OUR JOBS. WE WANT SCHOOL SYSTEMS DESIGNED WITH HUMANS IN MIND THAT DON'T DEMAND OUR RESILIENCE. WE WANT EDUCATORS TO EXPERIENCE COMMUNITY CARE, SUPPORT AND CONSULTATION.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP STUDENT BOARD MEMBER

WALI-ALI. >> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, PRESIDENT GRANT, BOARD MEMBERS AND GUESTS.

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS DISCOVERY HIGH CELEBRATED TWO MORE EARLY GRADUATES, CONGRATULATIONS THERE.

THE STUDENTS IN THE CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM HAVE BEEN GEARING UP FOR THEIR CHOPPED COMPETITION WHERE TEAMS OF 4-5 STUDENTS WILL COMPETE IN A CULINARY CHALLENGE.

[00:15:02]

H. S. PROGRAM EVOLVE AND SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. THE BAND PLAYED AT MOST OF THE BASKETBALL GAMES THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING HELPING SUPPORT OUR BOYS. LEROY GREEN ENJOYED A STAFF VERSUS STUDENT VOLLEYBALL GAME.

MANY STUDENTS AT GNAT MASS HIGH EARNED THEIR LITERACY, AND AT THE E.L.A.C.MEETING ENGLISH LEARNERS EARNED THE TOP HONOR -- NAT MAH MIDDLE SCHOOL CONTINUED TO HOST THEIR LUNCHTIME CELEBRATIONS FOR STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND HAS BEEN HAPPY TO SEE AN INCREASE OF PARTICIPATING INCREASE WITH ALMOST 200 MORE STUDENTS BEING ABLE TO PARTAKE, AT NATOMAS MIDDLE SCHOOL THEIR 7TH AND 8TH GRADE GIRLS BASKETBALL GAME CONTINUED TO PROTECT THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP WHILE THE GIRLS TOOK IT TO MAKE IT TO SEMI FINALS. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO START OF OUR FINAL QUARTER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. ENDER KUM COOKIES AND CREAM WILL BE STARTING UP AS A TOOL FOR AVAILABLE STUDENTS TO UTILIZE IN ACHIEVING THEIR ACADEMIC GOALS THIS SEMESTER. THE INTERKUM LEADERSHIP IS DECIDING ON A PROM VENUE. THEY'LL BE HAVING THEIR FIRST MIDDLE SCHOOL DISTANCE SOON AND HAVE AUNDERSTAND NOD PLANS FOR A JUNIOR, SENIOR PROM.

AT NATOMAS HIGH SCHOOL THEY'RE HAVING A MARCH FOOD MANIA WHICH WILL BE HAPPENING ON FRIDAY AND NATOMAS MIDDLE SCHOOL WILL HAVE ONE ON MARCH 18.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CLUBS THAT ENRICH OUR CULTURE AND HELP STUDENTS INVEST IN THEIR INTERESTS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THEN BEFORE I'M DONE WITH MY REPORT TONIGHT I WANTED TO EXTEND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE STUDENT AT L.G.A.WHO RECENTLY PASSED AND THE STAFF AT LEROY GREEN WANTED TO EXTEND A THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE TO REACHED OUT DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BAINS.

TRUSTEE HARDEN. >> I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE B. U. UNITE. IT WAS AMAZING, I'VE ALSO HAD A CHANCE TO GET OUT TO ALL THREE OF THE INDERKUM GAMES AND IT REMINDED ME BACK WHEN THE KINGS WERE GREAT. IT WAS NICE TO SEE.

I WANT TO THANK CLASSIFIED AN OUR TEACHERS FOR A WONDERFUL JOB THAT YOU ARE DOING, SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO THE SPED DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN.

THESE ARE DIFFICULT TIMES. WE APPRECIATE YOU.

WE SEE THE HARD WORK AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO ALL YOU CAN AND WE THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY FOR THEIR LOSS, IT WAS A HUGE TRAGEDY AND I'M SO THANKSFUL TO BE A PART OF NATOMAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.

EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY STEPPED UNDER AND SO DID WE.

THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO ECHO THE COMMENTS OF TRUST TRUSTEE WALI-ALI AND TRUSTYHARDHARD.

IT HAS BEEN HARD. I HOPE TO THANK OUR STAFF AND SOCIAL WORKERS AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY FOR COMING TOGETHER.

THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF PHONE CALL YOU WANT TO GET.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY.

ALL THOSE IMPACTED. SUPERINTENDENT EVANS.

>> GOOD EVENING, IT'S NICE TO BE BACK IN PERSON.

AT LEAST AT THE BOARD MEETING, WE'VE BEEN BACK IN PERSON IN A VARIETY OF OTHER PLACES.

SO RESILIENCE, SO I TELL MY STAFF WHETHER IT'S THE NEW VISION OR CORE VALUE WE HAVE FOR THE VISION WE HAD BEFORE, ONCE THE WORD GETS TOSSED BACK IT MEANINGS THE LANGUAGE IS A PART OF OUR SYSTEM.

WHETHER IT'S RESILIENCE, GRIT, STICK TO ITNESS, PERSISTENCE, WHATEVER WORD WE USE, EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE THESE ELEMENTS IN LIFE FOR OUR STUDENTS IT'S OUR FAMILIES AND OUR JOBS TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN IT.

SO I'LL TAKE THE POSITIVE MINDSET AND APPROACH THAT NOW THAT WE'RE HEARING IT AT THE DIEAS, IT'S A PART OF OUR SYSTEM. FOR THAT, I'LL LOOK AT THE POSITIVE. MARA I'M TOO, GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

JUST THINK WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IF WE FIND MORE COMMON GROUND ON A REGULAR BASIS.

SOME OF THE BALANCE WILL COME WHEN WE'RE IN DISAGREEMENTS LESS AND WORKING TOGETHER MORE ON

[00:20:01]

THEY BEGAN AS NON-REPRESENTED POSITIONS.

SO THEIR JOB DISCRIMINATIONS AND WORK DAYS WERE CREATED -- DESCRIPTIONS AND WORK DAYS WERE CREATED WITH NO LABOR ASSOCIATION ATTACHED. EITHER ASSOCIATION COULD HAVE DEMANDED TO BARGAIN AND MULL THAT INTO THEIR UNIT AND N.T.A.WAS THE FIRST TO DO SO.

SO HERE WE STAND NOT LIKE WE'RE INTENTIONALLY MAKING PEOPLE WORK X., Y. AND Z. EXTRA DAYS OR THEY DIDN'T KNOW. WE'RE GOING INTO NEGOTIATIONS ON WHAT WAS AN UNREPRESENTED POSITION AND BECAME REPRESENTED X. AMOUNT OF MONTHS AGO.

SO JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW SOME CONTEXT ON THAT.

IT BEGAN AS UNREPRESENTED. AS WE GO TO LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK WAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT WEEKS IN NATOMAS UNIFIED IF NOT THE MOST DIFFICULT.

CONDOLENCES AND LOVE FOR THE FAMILY OF OUR ANGELLINGS AND THEIR FRIENDS, MUCH LOVE FOR THE STAFF WHO SUPPORTED OUR STUDENTS FOR YEARS AND WHO SUPPORTED OUR STUDENTS, FAMILY AND STAFF LAST WEEK AND CONTINUING TO THIS WEEK AS WE TRY TO PROCESS THE IMMEASURABLE GRIEF.

IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE IN TIMES OF CRISIS WHAT THIS STAFF CAN DO ON BEHALF OF EACH OTHER.

AND THE ABILITY TO STILL HAVE DIFFERENCES BUT COME TOGETHER AND ACCOMPLISH THINGS AND I WOULD NEVER EVER HOPE THAT WE WOULD EVER HAVE TO FORGE TOGETHER ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER. BUT IF WE COULD JUST PUT ONE TENTH OF THAT ENERGY INTO COLLABORATION AND SOLVING ISSUES LIKE I THINK WE DO ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH C.S.E.A.LEADERSHIP AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AGAIN, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH SO SO: SO THE BOARD YOU SAW ME PUT IT IN AN E-MAIL TO YOU. YOUR ACTIONS THAT YOU'VE PUTTING IN DURING THIS PANDEMIC, BEFORE, THEY WERE IN FULL FORCE. AT THE SCHOOL SITES AT BANNON CREEK, LEROY GREEN LAST WEEK.

I WISH I HAD SOME RECORDING MECHANISM SO I COULD PRIVATELY SHOW YOU THE ACTIONS YOU'VE TAKEN AND THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES. IT'S SO HARD TO BE IN THESE POSITIONS AND NOT SEE THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS.

YOU GUYS DO THIS PART-TIME. YOU ALL HAVE JOBS AND FAMILIES. I CAN TELL YOU AS THE STAFF HIRED YOUR ONE EMPLOYEE TO GO OUT THERE AND MONITOR THE WORK AND TAKE A LOOK, YOUR ACTIONS WERE HAPPENING ON WHAT WAS OF OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WAS IMPRESSIVE.

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ABSENCES TONIGHT, WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IN WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.

THREE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL TALENT AND BRILLIANT WOMEN AND WE HAVE ONE HERE TONIGHT.

SO I WANTED TO SAY, CONGRATULATIONS FOR THAT.

[XII. CONSENT ITEMS]

>> AT THIS, SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, NEXT I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR WITH A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO JAVETTA CLEVELAND ON THE COSMETOLOGY

PROJECT. >> MOVE APPROVED.

>> MOVED BY TRUST DECREE BRAINS.

[INAUDIBLE] >> ANY SECOND BY TRUST TRUSTEE WALI-ALI. JEN, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

[XIII.a. Present and Approve 2021-22 Second Interim Report and Positive Certification]

>> GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT GRANT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, COMMUNITY AND STAFF.

THIS IS A PRESENTATION OF OUR SECOND INTERIM BUDGET.

SECOND INTERIM BUDGET REFLECTS ALL TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED THROUGH JANUARY 31ST, 2022. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK MADDY WHO DID A LOT OF WORK TO ASSIST ME IN COMPLETION OF THIS DOCUMENT. I'M GOING TO DO A BRIEF

[00:25:07]

SO I'M GOING TO SHARE BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS, PRESENT REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, SHARE OUR COMMIT FUNDS AND OUR RESERVES AND THEN A FEW OF THE MULTIYEAR PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS AND THEN REMIND THE BOARD AND THE STAFF OF THE CONTINUOUS CYCLE FOR BUDGET DEVELOPMENT.

SO GOOD NEWS. WE'RE POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. THE BOARD, THE BUDGET WILL REFLECT AND THE BUDGET WILL MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

ALL WAIT THROUGH 23-24: WE HAVE OUR 3 PERCENT STATE REQUIRED RESERVATION OF 4.8 MILLION.

OUR GROWTH FOR OUR ENROLLMENT FROM 2021-21-22 WAS 330 STUDENTS. THE PROJECTED AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE WHICH WE'RE FUNDED ON IS 9 9819.

AS I SHARED WITH THE BOARD AT FIRST INTERIM OUR ATTENDANCE IS LOW LIKE MANY DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE DUE TO IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC.

SO OUR A.D.A.IS ABOUT 91%. WHEN IT'S NORMALLY ABOUT 95%. OUR A.D.A.IS ABOUT 149 LESS THAN THE PRIOR YEAR IN TERMS OF AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE AND 385 A.D.A.IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE NORMALLY WOULD BE IF WE'RE 95% ENROLLMENT. OUR DISTRICT AVERAGE PER STUDENT FUND SOMETHING $10,656 THAT THAT'S HOW MUCH WE RECEIVE AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE, A.D.A.IS LOW LIKE IT IS ACROSS THE STATE.

STATEWIDE ISHY. IT WAS ADDRESSED IN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY PROPOSED BUDGET.

OUR A.D.A.THAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR BUDGET WAS CALCULATED BASED ON THE CURRENT LAW WHICH USES THE GREATER OR HIGHER OF THE CURRENT YEAR OR THE PRIOR YEAR.

THE GOVERNOR DID PROPOSE A THREE YEAR AVERAGING METHOD TO TRY TO PROVIDE A SOFT LANDING FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF THE CALCULATION OF A.D.A.SO YOU ARE ABLE TO USE 2021-21-22 AND 22-23 SWIFFER HIGHER OR AN AVERAGE OF THE THREE HOWEVER THAT IS PROPOSED SO THE DISTRICT'S SECONDS INTERIM BUDGET DOES NOT YET INCLUDE THAT.

ONCE IT MAKES IT TO THE FINAL STATE BUDGET WE'LL INCLUDE THE IMPACT FOR 22-23 INTO OUR BUDGET.

RIGHT NOW OUR A.D.A.IS PROJECTED AT 9819.

THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE IS NOT A WHOLE -- THIS IS JUST A SOFT LANDING. THE DESCRIBES RECEIVES SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATED GRANT MONEY WHICH INCLUDES OUR TARGETED STUDENTS, LOW INCOME AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND OUR HOMELESS FOSTEROUT.

UNDUPLICATED COUNT INCREASED BY PRIOR YEAR AND CREPT CURRENT YEAR, OUR PERCENTAGE TO ENROLLMENT FOR UNDUPLICATED COUNT DECREASED BECAUSE WE GREW EVEN THOUGH WE'VE MORE APPLICATIONS IN, WE GREW, HOWEVER, IT COULD BE AN CAKES THAT OUR DEMOGRAPHICS ARE CHANGING RIGHT NOW. WE DID ALL OUR WORK TO GET AS MANY APPLICATIONS IN. WE INCREASED THE NUMBER WE GOT IN, HOWEVER, OUR PERCENTAGE WENT DOWN.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THE NEW HOUSES GOING UP AND THE NEW APARTMENTS THAT ARE NOT CHEAP.

THAT THAT, TO MOVE INTO NAT MAGGS NOW IT COSTS MORE MONEY. WE COULD SEE THE NUMBER DECREASE, WE'LL KNOW MORE IN A YEAR OR TWO IF IT'S A

TREND OR A BLIP. >> YEAH.

AND INCLUDED IN SECOND INTERRUM IS NEW FUNDING WE RECEIVED FOR ONE TIME FINDING FOR THE -- THIS WAS FOR THE 22 YEAR NOT WITHIN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET. THEN THE EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS PROGRAM WHICH THE BOARD APPROVED PLAN. THAT REVENUE WAS ALSO INCLUDED. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN RESEVENS SO VERY LITTLE CHANGE -- RESERVES.

THIS IS OUR REVENUES. WE ALWAYS REPORT OUR UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND REVENUES WHICH IS $111 MILLION AND THE TONIGHT GENERAL FUND WHICH INCLUDES UNRESTRICT AND RESTRICTED WHICH IS 158 MILLION THEN YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE REVENUE SOURCES COME FROM.

SEE THAT OUR, MOST OF OUR MONEY COMES FROM L.C.F.F.LOCAL CONTROLLED FUNDING FORMULAS AT 68% BASED ON ATTENDANCE. WHEN I SAID WE GET OVER 10,000 PER STUDENT THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE REVENUE

[00:30:01]

THAT PIE HAS GROWN BECAUSE WE RECEIVED A LOT OF FEDERAL AND STATE PANDEMIC FUNDS. THAT IS ONE TIME MONEY BUT THOSE TWO PARTS OF THE PIE CHART HAS INCREASED OVER THE PRIOR YEAR BASED ON MONEY WE GOT.

THIS IS THE LIST OF OUR EXPENDITURES.

AGAIN UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES, 98.4 AND OUR TOTAL GENERAL FUND WHICH INCLUDES UNRESTRICT AND RESTRICTED COMBINED AT ABOUT 162.9 MILLION.

THIS IS OUR BREAKDOWN OF OUR EXPENDITURES AGAIN MOST OF OUR BUDGET IS CONSISTS OF STAFFING INCLUDING SALARIES AND BENEFITS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PIE CHART TO MY LEFT, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 84% STAFFING.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PIE CHART THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE UNRESTRICTED AND RESTRICTED FUNDS, IT'S ABOUT 76% FOR STAFFING INCLUDING BENEFITS. OUR MANAGEMENT SALARIES AT 4% IS 2% FOR -- THAT HAS BEEN THAT PERCENTAGE FOR THE LAST, TREND THAT HAD WAY FOR LAST FEW YEARS.

IT HAS NOT INCREASED. THIS IS THE RESERVES.

ACTION ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR THE BOARD TO COMMIT ENDING FUND BALANCES, THIS IS THE RESERVES THAT WE'LL BE ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

AND IT'S VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I PRESENTED AT FIRST. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE HERE IN TERMS OF OUR STABLATION FUNDING AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'VE ALLOCATEED FOR TEXT BOOK ADOPTION, WE MOVED IT INTO THE TEXT BOOK, WE NEEDED THAT GOING FORWARD.

THE BOARD RESOLUTION THAT THE BOARD APPROVED TO HELP WITH THE SOFT LANDING FOR THE ONE-TIME POSITIONS THAT ARE NOW IN THE BUDGET AND FUNDED BY PANDEMIC FUNDS, THAT IS 2.4 MILL STILL BEING COMMITTED FOR THAT THREE YEAR TERM NOW. THEN ATHLETIC FIELDS, WE ALLOCATED 200,000. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THAT AS WE GET ADDITIONAL RESERVATION.

OUR STABILIZATION PUT ASIDE TO SUPPORT INCREASES RETENTIONED COSTS 298,000 EARNINGS IN INTEREST.

WE PUT 2 MILLION IN AND WE EARNED 298,000.

THEN WE HAVE OUR RESTRICTED RESERVES OF 7.5 MILLION.

THIS IS OUR ENROLLMENT TREND.

OUR MULTIYEAR PROJECTION FOR 22-23 PROJECTS A CONSERVATIVE A.D.A.ATTENDANCE.

WE DON'T KNOW THE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN RELATED TO FUTURE IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC, SO WE KEPT A.D.A.FLAT AS YOU FREE 21-22 IN THE GREEN TO 23-24.

THEN ENROLLMENT WE STAYED CONSERVATIVES AND REDUCED IT SLIGHTLY NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THIS IS A REMINDER SLIDE OF OUR INCREASE RETENTION COSTS IN 22-23.

THE RATE JUMPS BY 2.18% FOR -- [INAUDIBLE] THAT IS ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR PEN ARE THEN SAME THING 3.19% SPIKE AND THAT COST IS $500,000 A YEAR.

THAT TAKES PLACE IN 22-23. IN THE PAST THE STATE WAS PROVIDING FUNDING FOR DIRECT PAYMENT THE.

IT HAS REDUCED OUR RATES BUT THAT ENDED IN SUNSET AT THE AGE OF 21-22. AND THERE WAS NOTHING YET IN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET TO CONTINUE THAT.

MULTIYEAR ASSUMPTIONS FOR REVENUE, INCLUDED THE LATEST PROPOSED IN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET HOWEVER WE HAD ALREADY INCLUDED 2.48% IN OUR FIRST INTERIM BUDGET.

THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL 2 HADN'T 85% OVER WHAT WE INCLUDED IN PROJECTIONS AT FIRST INTERIM.

WE ALSO INCLUDED OUR ONE-TIME, WE MOVED OUR ONE-TIME EXPENSES THAT WERE IN 21-22.

THAT WON'T BE IN THE 22-23 BUDGET.

THEN WE ALSO INCLUDED A 3 PEASE PROPOSED SALARY INCREASE SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATION.

WE'VE ALREADY INCORPORATE THAT HAD INTO OUR MULTIYEAR PROJECTION. FOR 23-24, AGAIN OUR COLA WAS 3.61%. AND IT'S A 5 INPIECE OF 3.11 INCLUDED IN THE MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS SO THIS IS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN WHAT WE HAD IN THE, IN THE BUDGET THE PREVIOUS AMENDED BUDGET. WE REMOVED ANY ONE-TYPIST PENDURES THEN ANY INCREASES IN PERS INCORPORATED INTO THE BUDGET. THIS IS OUR BUDGET CYCLE.

I SHARED THIS BEFORE. THE ITEMS ARE IN YELLOW

[00:35:02]

SO THOSE YOU MAY NOT SEE THOSE EXACT REPORTS WE PREPARED IN THE PAST. RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO NEXT ADOPT A NEW BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

PROBABLY WHERE WE'RE, THAT IS THE PROCESS WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER POSITIVE CERTIFICATION, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, TRUSTEE KAPLAN.

>> AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU, JAVETTA, WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTATION IF THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IN A QUOTE UP YET ENROLLMENT A.D.A.SOFT LANDING, WHAT DO YOU ESTIMATE OUR A.D.A.PERCENTAGE SOFT

LANDING TO BE? >> I DID AN EARLY CALCULATION OF THAT, AND I DON'T HAVE THE PERCENTAGE.

IT BROUGHT US UP I BELIEVE TOO ABOUT 93% I BELIEVE.

>> OKAY. OKAY.

>> IF I PUT IN -- IT'S -- A LITTLE OVER $1 MILLION.

>> WILL IT HELP -- IS THAT BASED ON THE P. 1 OR P. 2.

>> IT WILL BE BASED ON P. 2. IT MAY NOT HELP BECAUSE IN JANUARY WHERE WE HAD THE SURGE, THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN MY PROJECTED A.D.A.RIGHT NOW.

JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT MAY GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BUT STILL IT WILL GIVE US ADDITIONAL REVENUE EITHER WAY WITH THE AVERAGING

METHOD. >> THE HOLD HARMLESS KEPT US AT WHAT WAS IT 10,000 AND CHANGE.

>> YEAH. >> THEN WHAT YOU ARE PROJECTING IS A DECREASE OF ALMOST 200 TO 9800 WHICH IS A.D.A.FUNDING SO IT'S NOT ACTUAL STUDENTS BUT IT'S HOW WE GET FUNDED. WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THE 200 STUDENT QUOTE UNQUOTE DECREE?

>> I AVERAGED THE THREE YEARS.

>> OKAY. >> I AVERAGED THE PRIOR TWO YEARS AND CURRENT YEAR WHICH IS LOW TO COME UP WITH THAT.

>> FOR THOSE WATCHING THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, WE DON'T GET PAID FOR EVERY STUDENT THAT IS ENROLLED.

WE ONLY GET PAID FOR AS WE CALL IT STUDENT IN THE SEAT WHICH IS THE ATTENDANCE RATE WHICH IS I GOT TO TELL YOU DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GET A KID WITH HALF AN ARM OR A LEG AND, THAT IS HOW WE'RE GETTING FUNDED. ON THE -- THE TOTAL COST FOR US THIS YEAR IS 1.5 MILLION BUT THAT IS ONGOING.

>> NEXT YEAR, YEAH. >> AT A CERTAIN POINT IS THERE EVER A CAP IN HOW MUCH THE PERCENTAGE WILL GO UP

FOR NEWS IS. >> WE GET SOME, PROJECTIONS THROUGH. [INAUDIBLE] WE DON'T HAVE ANY CURRENT PROJECTIONS BEYOND WHAT WAS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. LIKE IT KIND OF --

>> YEAH. >> IT FLATTENS OUT.

SO WE USE -- SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

>> THERE IS NO CAP IN STATE LAW THAT SAYS WE WON'T EVER

PAY MORE THAN 20%? >> NO.

>> IT COULD GO UP THAT WE PAY 100%.

BUT IT COULD BE 20, 25, THE NUMBER COULD CONTINUOUSLY GO

UP. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> AT COULD YOU PERS WE'RE PROJECTED UP TO 27% BUT THAT NUMBER COULD PROJECT TO GO UP 30 WHAT NOT WHAT --

>> SUNDAY TO CHANGE. SO -- SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BASED ON WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE ECONOMY.

>> AND THEN ON THE REMOVAL AND THE EXPENDITURES OF REMOVAL OF ONE TIME EXPENDITURES WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT 22-23 ON THOSE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES IS

THAT INCLUDING ANY STAFFING? >> YES.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT US TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS OF DOING THIS, I'M HAVE SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE THE ONE TIME EXPENDITURES INCLUDE SOCIAL WORKERS AND COUNSELORS THAT WE NEED, SEEING THE INCREASE IN BEHAVIOR ISSUE THAT IS WE HAVE AT THE CONSUMES AND HOW TOUGH THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN ON EVERYBODY, I WOULD LOVE AS WE LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND CONTINUE FINDING A WAY TO MAKE THAT AN ONGOING NOT A ONE-TIME EXPENDITURE BECAUSE I KNOW WE FOUND WAYS THAT OUR TITLE 1 SCHOOLS GET TO KEEP THEM BUT IT IS NOT FAIR WHEN ONE SCHOOL MAY BE A COUPLE OF PERCENTAGES OFF THEY'VE JUST AS MANY SUPPORTS AND NEEDS FOR OUR KIDS THAT I HOPE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD FIT AS WE DO THESE FURTHER

DISCUSSIONS. >> GOOD THING IS WHEN OUR SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION GRANT WAS INCREASED FOR 21-22. WE'RE ABLE TO FUND SEVEN SOCIAL WORKERS SO WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO FUND STAFFING ON AN ONGOING BASIS.

THE BOARD ACTUALLY APPROVED THAT BACK IN THE FALL FOR THE SEVEN SOCIAL WORKERS TO BE FUNDED THAT WERE -- IN

PANDEMIC FUNDS. >> WHICH I THINK IS FABULOUS. KNOWING THAT A COUPLE OF

[00:40:02]

>> THEY'RE FUNDED THROUGH THE 22---

>> OKAY. 23-24.

THIS IS A LONG-TERM, YOU KNOW THING THAT WE HAVE TO

LOOK AT. >> I'M ALWAYS LOOKING IN THE TEAM IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO FUND STAFFING ON AN

ONGOING BASIS. >> I KNOW YOU ARE, THANK YOU

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

>> THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS.

>> ANY FURTHER QUESTION FROM TRUSTEES?

TRUSTEE BAINS? >> COUPLE OF QUESTIONINGS ON THE PENSIONS, THE PERCENTAGE THAT WAS SHOWN 19% FOR -- [INAUDIBLE] IS THAT THE TOTAL THAT GETS CONTRIBUTED OR DO EMPLOYEES ALSO HAVE A CONTRIBUTION --

>> EMPLOYEES HAVE A CONTRIBUTION, THIS IS THE

EMPLOYER RELATED COST. >> OKAY.

SO AT LEAST IN THIS YEAR WE'RE NOT USING RESERVATION EVEN THOUGH OUR CONTRIBUTION IS GOING UP?

>> THAT'S CORRECT, WE'RE BUDGETED AN USING THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT TO COVER THE INCREASE IN COSTS.

>> OKAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME. >> I WANT TO SAY AMAZING JOB AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO US WHEN WE HAVE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME.

[XIV. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

[INAUDIBLE] >> AT THIS TIME I'VE FIVE PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

THE BOARD WILL HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS ONLY AND INSURE THE MEETING IS CONDUCTED IN AN ORDERLY AND EFFICIENT MANNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH BOARD BYLAW 9323.

FIRST UP I'VE FATIMA RODRIGUEZ.

>> HELLO, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS FATIMA RODRIGUEZ, I'M HERE BECAUSE I OPPOSE MASKS MANDATES FOR OUR CHILDREN. MASKS ARE NOT GOOD FOR OUR KIDS. THEY'RE LUNGS ARE NOT FULLY DEVELOP AND THAT CAN CAUSE IN THE FUTURE MAYBE MEDICAL PROBLEMS WE ARE NOT AWARE OF AT THIS MOMENT.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT ON BEHALF OF MY SON WHO IS OFTTIC AND WHO HAS ASTHMA. I TRIED TO GET A LETTER FROM HIS DOCTOR SO HE CAN, SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK.

THE PRINCIPAL OFFERED ME A SHIELD FOR MY SON WHICH I THINK IT WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE IT GETS FOGGY AND IT'LL CAUSE MORE ANXIETY AND MORE PROBLEMS BUT HE IS ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH HIS MASK BECAUSE HE HAS A HARD TIME BREATHING. HE GETS IN TROUBLE HE PULSE IT UP. HE DOESN'T KNOW HAW TO HANDLE A MASK LIKE ANY OTHER CHILDREN.

SO THAT IS CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND ANXIETY IN MY SON. I HAVE TO MEDICATE HIM BECAUSE HIS STRESS LEVEL IS SO HIGH.

I ALSO. READ ON THE C.D.C. PAGE MASKS DON'T WORK. THE VIRUS IS A LOT SMALLER THAN THE MASK. WE ALSO HAVE MASSIVE COVID SURGE IN SCHOOLS, TEACHER, STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS GOT COVID AND IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR BECAUSE OF COURSE MASKS ARE NOT WORKING BECUSE KID DON'T KNOW HOW TO WEAR THEM PROPERLY. OUR SCHOOL IS FLOODED WITH MASKS ON THE FLOOR. KIDS EAT ON THE FLOOR.

WHICH IS NOT SAFE. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT TWO RIVERS ELEMENTARY.

I THINK WE CANNOT SACK NICE OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE SOME TEACHERS AND SOME STAFF ARE SCARED OF WHATEVER CAN HAPPEN. WE KNOW WE CAN GET COVID.

OUR KIDS ARE YOUNG. WE DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THEM EMOTIONALLY. PHYSICALLY OR YOU KNOW, HEALTHWISE AND I THINK THAT THIS IS CHILD ABUSE FOR A KIDS AND I THINK THIS HAS TO STOP.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP I'VE AMELDA PADIA.

[00:50:09]

>> GOOD EVENING, I'M HERE TO REPRESENT MY GRANDE DAUGHTER. SHE IS TIRED OF WEARING THE MASK EVERYDAY. IT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE AND SUFFERING FOR HER EVERYDAY TO MAKE HER WEAR A MASK.

SHE CANNOT BREATHE WELL. SHE HAS ANXIETY ATTACKS.

I KNOW ALL THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WITH THE MASK MANDATE SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DONE FOREVER.

BECAUSE MY GRAND DAUGHTER DOESN'T HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE IS SUFFERING.

IT'S TIME FOR THIS CHILD ABUSE TO STOP.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> NEXT UP RACHEL KATAN. >> THANK YOU.

SO I'M HERE, I HEARD MARA TALK ABOUT ASKING YOU TO BE MINDFUL OF THE TEACHERS WHEN THE MASKS ARE REMOVED AS THEY ARE FEARFUL POTENTIALLY AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH A LOT OF EMOTIONS.

I WANT YOU TO BE MINDFUL OF OUR CHILDREN AS THEY'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THE, THE SOCIAL PRESSURES OF TAKING THE MASKS OFF. AND AS WELL AS POTENTIAL COERCION TO PUT THE MASKS BACK ON BY THE TEACHERS.

SO I'VE HAD SOME REPORTS FROM OUR DISTRICT AND THEN ALSO IN DISTRICTS WHERE THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED MASK CHOICE WHERE TEACH REMEMBERS STILL SO FEARFUL THEY'RE BRIBING STUDENTS WITH THINGS LIKE TICKETS TO PUT THEIR MASKS BACK ON SAYING THAT MY, I'M TAKING CARE OF MY GRANDMOTHER AT HOME, PLEASE PUT YOUR MASK BACK ON.

THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF EXTRA ANXIETY FOR OUR CHILDREN. I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE TO EDUCATE THE TEACHERS AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE AND THAT SHOULD KEEP THEIR EMOTIONS AND THEIR OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES AS TO NOT CONTINUE TO CONFUSE THESE ALREADY, THIS ALREADY VULNERABLE POPULATION WHICH ARE OUR STUDENTS. AS FATIMA AND AMILLEDDA HAVE SAID I THINK THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING SURE MASKS REMAIN OFF THE STUDENTS INCLUDING ME AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT MY SON HAS HEADACHES AND FROM WEARING THE MASKS AND BELLY ACHES AND OTHER ANXIETIES ALONG WITH IT. AND WE WANT YOU TO WRITE SOME TYPE OF A MASK CHOICE RESOLUTION SO THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS OVER 147 STUDIES THAT SHOW MASKS DON'T WORK AND THE C.D.C. UPDATED THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES TO LOWER THEIR STANDARDS.

SPEECH DELAY, FATIGUE, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY.

WE NEED TO UNWIND THESE BAD POLICIES AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP I HAVE ANNIE KAY.

>> GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES. MY NAME IS ANNIE KAY.

I'VE TWO SONS IN THIS DISTRICT.

ACCORDING TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH DEFENSE NEWS THE WASHINGTON HEALTH BOARD ADVISORY GROUP RECOMMENDS AGAINST COVID-19, COVID VACCINE MAN DATES FOR K. 12 STUDENTS. MEAN FLORIDA'S SURGEON GENERAL RELEASED ITS GUIDANCE RECOMMENDING AGAINST THE VACCINES FOR ALL HEALTHY CHILDREN.

WILL YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RESEARCH THAT LED TO THESE DECISIONS? WILL YOU PLEASE PUBLICLY ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN IN THIS DISTRICT WITH THE GOVERNOR -- I'M SORRY, EXCUSE ME, WITH THE LEGISLATORS. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL ALSO IF YOU TALKED TO THE GOVERNOR. AND OPPOSE S.B.871.

THE BILL WHERE STUDENTS NEED THE COVID-19 VACCINE TO ATTEND SCHOOL SO PARENTS CAN MAKE THESE MEDICAL DECISIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. LAST PUBLIC COMMENT I HAVE

HERE IS FROM MISS CASEY CLAY >> HELLO.

I'M CASEY CLAY. AND I WANTED TO SHARE A STORY. SO I'LL ASK FOR YOU TO PLEASE DO SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH.

I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE TEACHERS. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE STUDENTS.

I WANT TO SHARE A STORY. I'VE TWO CHILDREN CURRENTLY THAT ATTEND INDERKUM THAT ARE JUNIORS.

AND MY SON SHARED A STORY ABOUT HOW HE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ANYBODY IN SCHOOL. SO HE STARTED OFF.

[00:55:02]

NOBODY IS TALKING TO GROUPS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL. AND TO ME THAT IS ALARMING.

YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO OTHER TEACHERS WHO HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY COME INTO THE CLASSROOMS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY SAY, HELLO TO THE STUDENTS AND STUDENTS PUT THEIR HEADS DOWN. THEY'RE NOT ENGAGING IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TEACHERS.

OR WITH THE REST OF THE STUDENTS.

SOME OF US PARENTS HERE CAN PROBABLY REMEMBER BACK BEFORE COVID WHEN WE WOULD TALK, WE WOULD TALK ABOUT HOW OUR KIDS WERE NO LONGER ENGAGED BECAUSE THEY WERE ON CELL PHONES. THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT.

AND NOW THEY ARE ISOLATE AND NOT ENGAGED WITH OTHER STUDENTS. NOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT AND THEY ARE AT SCHOOL WITH MASKS ON.

THEY'RE NOT ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE.

RIGHT, THE MASKS ARE KIND OF LIKE DON'T TALK.

YOU ARE NOT -- THERE'S NO ENGAGEMENT.

WHEN KAPLAN WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING PSYCHOLOGIORS OR COUNCILORS PAST THE PANDEMIC PHASE PART OF THAT NEEDS TO BE THE MASKS NEED TO COME OFF.

THE STUDENTS ARE NOT IN DANGER.

PLEASE JUST DO A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. P WE'RE GOING TO ADD JOURNAL THIS REGULAR
