>> IT HAS BEEN A LONG BUTGOOD DAY OF THE BARGAINING . I WILL KEEP TODAY'S MESSAGE A LITTLE SHORT. SO TO BRING HIM ALONG WITH ME. I WENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DISTRICT HAS AGREED TO THESE ALTERNATING LOCATIONS AND I REALLY THINK THAT IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD IN NEGOTIATIONS WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE REALLY WANT TO THANK THE JEFFERSON CAMPUS FOR HOSTING TODAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S GREAT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BE OUT THERE WITH THE STUDENTS AND WATCHING THEM RUN AROUND THE TRACK ALL DAY LONG. AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD BEEN OVER THERE SINCE THE CONSTRUCTION TO SEE THE THING THAT FLIES, THE DRONE. AND QUITE CLEARLY IT HAS BEEN A DAY. I WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD WHERE OUR MOTIVATIONS ARE FROM OUR BARGAINING TEAM THIS YEAR AND WHERE ALL OF OUR PROPOSALS ARE COMING FROM AND EVERYTHING WE ARE PASSING. MEMBERSHIP HAS BEEN CLEAR WITH THE LEADERSHIP THE CLIMATE AND WORK CULTURE IS IMPACTING THEIR ABILITY TO TEACH AND A STUDENT ACCESS TO ALL WEEK DON'T THAT WE CAN DO HERE AT NATOMAS. AT THE HEART OF ALL OF OUR PROPOSALS THIS YEAR IS RETENTION, RECRUITMENT OF THE EDUCATORS AND PROTECTING OUR RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS.
MAKING SURE WE CAN FOCUS OUR TIME ON THE STUDENTS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE. JUST NEXT DOOR FOR THE LAST FEW
[00:05:09]
WEEKS IN OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS WITHOUT THE POWER OF EDUCATORS AND STAFF WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS THE SEVERE STAFFING CRISIS AND ITS GOALS.AND THEIR OUTCOME CHOSE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS WHERE THE CHALLENGE IS.
IT SUPPORTS EDUCATORSAND OUR COLLEAGUES . AS WE BARGAIN THIS CONTRACT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF US TOGETHER THE IMPACT THAT THE STRIKE IS GOING TO HAVE.
ON THE RECRUITMENT FOR ALL POSITIONS HERE IN NATOMAS. SOMETHING THAT STANDS OUT TO ME IS HEALTHCARE THAT WAS PROTECTED. IT IS A MAJOR DRAW FOR TEACHER . NATOMAS CAN BE COMPETITIVE, I BELIEVE WE CAN WITH WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY AND THINK ABOUT REALLY IS ABOUT PROVIDING THE BEST WORK ENVIRONMENT SO THAT WE CAN DO THE BEST WORK FOR OUR STUDENTS. I THINK THIS IS COUPLED WITH A STRONG COMPETITION COMPENSATION PACKAGE HERE FOR THE TEACHERS. AS A PARENT OF TWO EXACT CITY STUDENTS I WAS INSPIRED TO SEE THE PARENTS COME AND WORK ALONGSIDE THE EDUCATORS AND ADDRESS THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS IN THEIR DISTRICT AND I FEEL THIS GREAT POTENTIAL HERE FOR NATOMAS FOR OUR PARENTS AND OUR TEACHERS TO COME TOGETHER, AS WELL.
WHEN THAT THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP BOARD MEMBERS WE WILL HAVE TRUSTEE BAINS.
>> THIS MONTH HAS BEEN THE MOST EXCITING TIME I'VE BEEN HAVING SINCE I BECAME A TRUSTEE.
I AM SUPER EXCITED AS THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG. I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDING BREAKFAST AND IT WAS ACTUALLY AMAZING. I WAS MADE BY THE STUDENTS.
THE STAFF DID AMAZING JOB AND THE STUDENTS ARE THE GREATEST. I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AGAIN NEXT YEAR. GETTING A CHANCE TO GO TO THE OPEN HOUSES AND SEE THE FAMILIES, STAFF AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THE CLASSROOMS. THE QUESTIONS WERE AMAZING TO SEE HOW NURTURING, COMFORTING AND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE. SO KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU AND TO SEEK THOSE FRIENDLY FACES AND FAMILIES OUT HAVING AGOOD TIME . IT WAS INSPIRING, HOPEFUL AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE OF IT. THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING.
I SAW OUR SUPERINTENDENT YESTERDAY AND HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO GET MAD BECAUSE I WAS LIKE I WANT OPEN HOUSE TO BE LIKE A TWO WEEK EVENTS LIKE IT USED TO BE SO I CAN GET EVERYWHERE. HE WAS LIKE YEAH, WE USED TO HAVE THAT MUCH SO WE WILL SEE.
IT WAS AMAZING AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST HAD A CHANCE TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION AND WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I AM SO EXCITED I THINK THAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING SOME GREAT THINGS FROM THERE AND I'M TRULY LOOKING FOR TO IT.
I GAINED A LOT OF HOPE SO WE WILL BE GREAT, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE HEREDIA.
I TOO ATTENDED THE NATIONAL SCHOOL WORK, NATIONAL SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE RIGHT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE VOTED NOT TO RENEW THEIR MENTORSHIP AND THE ORGANIZATION. BUT ANYWAY IT'S A GREAT ORGANIZATION BUT THEY NEEDED SOME TIME TO REORGANIZE. THEY WILL BE DOING THAT. THE OTHER THING IT THAT I'LL BE DOING AT THE END OF THE MONTH IS TRAVELING AND DOING SOME ADVOCACY WORK.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE ADVOCACY. I'M SORRY TO HAVE MISSED THE BREAKFAST THAT WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT YEAR. ERICA, I AM GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO ATTEND BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL TRIED BUT HAD I NOT BEEN, BUT IS A TRULY AN INSPIRATION.
THOSE KIDS ARE AMAZING. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE HEREDIA. TRUSTEE KAPLAN.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT. AGAIN, EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDING BREAKFAST WAS A PLEASURE TO BE
[00:10:03]
WITH PRESIDENT GRANT, TRUSTEE HARDEN AND I GRADE WE HAD ONE OF OUR AMAZING RECOGNIZE IN THE AUDIENCE SO GOOD TO SEE HER HERE. THAT IS SUCH A HEARTWARMING BREAKFAST. WHAT YOU GET TO SEE AND MEETING THE STUDENTS AND IS, LIKE YOU SAID, IT IS A BREAKFAST I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY YEAR. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING A MOM LAST NIGHT AND IT SHOWED UP AT MY GIRLS OPEN HOUSE. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE KIDSHADN'T SEEN EACH OTHER .T WAS A MASS GRANT PARTY MUSIC, THE KIDS WERE MORE INTERESTED IN HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER AND DANCING AND SHOWING US THE CLASSROOM. MY KIDS WERE LIKE YOU CAN GO OVER HERE BUT I WANT TO HANG OUT. MANY OF US PARENTS WOULD HAVE WAITED TWO HOURS FOR THE TACOS BECAUSE OUR KIDS DID NOT WANT PTO GO ANYWHERE. WE COULD STAND IN LINE AND WE WILL RUN AROUND AND DO THINGS. BUT THAT WAS GREAT BECAUSE YOU THINK ABOUT IT MY OLDEST IS 1/3 GRADER THE LAST TIME WE HAD IN PERSON OPEN HOUSE SHE WAS IN KINDERGARTEN.SHE MISSED FIRST GRADE, SHE MISSED SECOND GRADE AND MY YOUNGEST IS IN CAN A GARDEN.
THAT REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME THE BEING ABLE TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO HAS BEEN REALLY AWESOME.AND THEN OUT THAT WITH OUR SRO INDELIBLE LEADER AT INTER- FROM AN HE TALKED ABOUT FOR THEIR JOB THEY DO AND HOW THEY SEE THINGS I WILL TALK WITH THE AND I GOT TO THE GOLF CART AND LISTEN AND WATCH WHAT OUR AMAZING STAFF WORK WITH STUDENTS AND TALK WITH SOME STUDENTS THEY HAVE IN THEIR CAR CORN HOLE BOARDS THEY PLAYED CORN HOLE INTO THE PARKING LOT.
THEY HAD HIS SKATEBOARD AND THEY DID AMAZING JUMPING OVERTURES.
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS REALLY WARM AND INVITING AND THE KIDS WERE FRIENDLY AND THE ONE THING THEY ASKED IS MORE SEATING FOR OUTSIDE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT AND HANG OUT AND HANG OUT TALK I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OUR STAFF IS DOING AND IT WAS GREAT TO RIDE AROUND WITH THEM AND WATCH WHAT OUR SUITS ARE DOING AND HOW THEY ARE DOING.
>> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE KAPLAN. I WILL ECHO TRUSTEE HARDEN'S COMMENTS AND I WILL STATE THAT RIGHT IS EVERYTHING SUPERINTENDENT EVANS.
>> IT IS BEEN REALLY EXHAUSTED TWO WEEKS. NOT ONLY WITH EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDING BUT I WANT TO SEE HOW POSITIVE THE STAFF TO BE AT A TIME RIGHT BEFORE SPRING BREAK AND IT'S A LONG BREAK BETWEEN DAYS OFF AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY EXHAUSTED RIGHT TO SEEK THE FAMILIES AND HEAR FROM THEM AND HOW EXCITED THEY WERE AN APPRECIATIVE WORK WITH ALL THE ACTIONSTHAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS .
IT FELT LIKE BEING A REGULAR EDUCATOR AGAIN. WE ARE NOT ALL THAT WEIGHT THERE BUT IT FELT DIFFERENT. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR STAFF TO COME OUT AND SEE HOW MANY OF
[XI. CONSENT ITEMS ]

>> THAT MOTION CARRIES. 520. I 5-0.
[XII.a. Board Report, Context Slides, and Approval of the Adoption and Purchase of Science Instructional Materials For Grades TK-12]
NEXT UP ACTION ITEMS. THERE WAS A BOARD REPORT AS YOU PROBABLY READ THE ACTION ITEM BOARD REPORT CONTEXT SLIDES AND APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF SCIENCE INSTRUCTION MATERIALS FOR K-12.BOARD REPORT ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA THAT WAS POSTED ON FRIDAY.
>> GOOD EVENING TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT EVANS. I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANKS TO BEN ODELL ONE OF OUR CORE LEADERS WHO WAS PART OF THIS PROCESS, AS WELL.
[00:15:10]
BEFORE WE GET STARTED QUICKLY IN ADDITION TO THAT WE WANT TO THANK THE TEACHERS, THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS WITH US AND MADE IT ABLE TO BREAK THIS RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT. WE ARE COMING TO ASK THE BOARD TO ADOPT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT ARE ALIGNED TO OUR NEXT-GENERATION SCIENCE.WE ARE ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE NECESSARY FUNDING TO PURCHASE THOSE MATERIALS.
WE ARE SEEKING DIRECTION TO BE ABLE TO SIGN THE NECESSARY CONTRACTS AS WELL AS APPROVED FUNDING FOR ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO NOT ONLY SUPPORT HOW TO USE THE MATERIALS BUT ONGOING IMPLEMENTATION IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
WE WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO DO AN OVERVIEW OF THE TIMELINE OF THIS WORK.
THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THIS SLIDE ONE IS A GREAT WHAT IS A BLUE GREAT IS THE ACTION BY THE STATE. IN 2013, THE STATE ADOPTS THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS. THREE YEARS LATER THEY ADOPT THE FRAMEWORK.
THE FRAMEWORK IS WHAT TELLS US EDUCATORS HOW TO TEACH THE STANDARDS.
TWO YEARS AFTER THAT THE STATE ADOPTS THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ALIGNED.
THERE IS ALSO A TOOL THAT COMES OUT THAT HELPS THE DISTRICT CALL THE TIME TOOLKIT AND HELPS DISTRICTS GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE BEGIN AS SOON AS THAT MATERIALS ADOPTED IN 2018 WE BEGIN OUR REVIEW PROCESS FOR ADOPTION.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT YEAR, AS WELL. THAT WAS THAT YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC AND SCHOOL CLOSURES. WE MADE A VERY INTENTIONAL CAUSE AT THAT TIME TO STOP THE PROCESS BECAUSE WITHOUT DOING THE ADOPTION AS WELL AS HANDLING DURING THE PANDEMIC WAS TOO MUCH FOR OUR FAMILIES AND STAFF. WE CAUSED THE WORK AND THEN WHEN THE SCHOOLS REOPENED BACK IN MAY 2021 THAT IS WHAT BRINGS US HERE TODAY.
>> WE WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT CHANGES TO SCIENCE INSTRUCTION.
THE PREVIOUS STANDARDS FELT HANDLED STUDENTS RECEIVING INFORMATION, READING ABOUT INFORMATION AND DOING SOME LABS IF THEY GOT TO THE UPPER GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN TAKING A TEST OR ANSWERING QUESTIONS. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT. THERE ARE THREE KEY PARTS TO THE STANDARDS THAT PLAYED INTO THE TYPE OF MATERIALS WE ADOPT. YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THREE DIMENSIONAL LEARNING. THE SCIENCE STUDENTS HAVE THREE PARTS.
FIRST IS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. THOSE ARE WHERE STUDENTS GET TO DO HANDS-ON OPPORTUNITIES, STEM ENTITIES, ENGINEERING OPPORTUNITIES.
NEXT IS THE DISCIPLINE AREA IS WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING. ENERGY, THOSE KEY CONTENT AREAS. THE CROSS CUTTING COMMENTS ARE ACROSS ALL SCIENCE SUBJECTS.
LOOKING AT PATTERNS, CAUSE AND EFFECT. ANOTHER KEY PIECE IS COMMON TO SCIENTISTS THEY CAN INDICATE ABOUT WHAT THEY LEARNED. WHICH BRINGS US TO STRONG CONNECTION TO OUR LITERACY WORK AND LITERACY STANDARDS. THE STANDARDS WERE DESIGNED TO HAVE A VERY STRONG OVERLAP BETWEEN LANGUAGE ARTS, MATH AND SCIENCE.
IN SCIENCE IS NO LONGER JUST BE SHARING EFFECTS AND GIVING IT BACK ON A TEST.
STUDENTS WILL NEED TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT IT BUT SPEAK ABOUT IT, WRITE ABOUT IT, SHARE ABOUT IT AND REPORTS ON IT. IF WE GO OVER THESE SLIDES THERE'S A STRONG CONNECTION TO THE WE ARE DOING AND LITERACY WHICH IS FOCUS ON INFORMATIONAL WRITING SO THERE BE A KEY CONNECTION TO THAT, AS WELL.
>> ONE THING I WANT TO ADD IS A CURRICULUM FOCUSING ON HIS GRADES ACCESS FOR DIFFERENTIATING NEEDS FOR STUDENTS AND THEY ARE SUPPORTIVE OF STUDENTS AT ALL LEVELS.
>> SPEAKING OF THE THINGS WE LOOK TO ACCESSING THE CONTENT WE HAVE SET OF CRITERIA THAT WERE VERY IMPORTANT. THE MATERIALS NEED TO BE ALIGNED.
THEY NEED TO BE ALIGNED TO THE STUDENTS HAVING EXPERIENCE STUDIED ABOUT REAL-LIFE NATURAL OCCURRENCES. THE MATERIALS NEED TO PROVIDE HANDS-ON ENGAGING OPPORTUNITIES AND ANGELA WAS JUST SPEAKING THAT THEY MUST BE ACCESSIBLE BY ALL OF OUR STUDENT LEARNERS.
WE STARTED OFF THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SLIDE JUST VERY BRIEFLY JUST A LONG LIST OF MATERIALS WE STARTED WITH. THE GROUP OF TEACHERS THAT HELP US WITH IS ENGAGED IN A PROCESS TO NARROW IT DOWN TO THREE AND THEN TO THE TOP TO AND AS OF THE TOP TWO WE PILOTED IN THE BECAME FORWARD ON OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. A HUGE PART OF THIS WORK AND
[00:20:05]
WHY I STARTED GETTING THINKING PEOPLE IS THERE IS A HIGH AMOUNT OF STUDENT, TEACHER AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. WITH APPROXIMATE 1000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE INA PILOT WORK .THEY GAVE FEEDBACK AFTER THEIR LEARNING SO WE HAD ABOUT 5000 CASES OF STUDENT FEEDBACK.
OUR YOUNGER STUDENTS CHECK WITH HER TEACHERS ABOUT THEIR LEARNING THEY DO NOT ALWAYS PROVIDE THAT IN WRITING.WE HAD ABOUT 50 TEACHERS PARTICIPATING IN PRE-PILOT ACTIVITIES AND ALSO THE ACTIVITIES THERE WERE 17 GAMES WHERE THEY GIVE THEIR HONEST FEEDBACK AND INPUT. THE TEACHERS DOING THE PILOT PROVIDED 200 PIECES OF WRITTEN FEEDBACK AFTER THEY TALK THE LESSON. ANOTHER PIECE WE DID IT WAS DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND IS AT KEY STAGES IN THE PROCESS WE SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO COMMUNICATE WITH EVERYONE WHETHER THEY WERE PART OF THE PILOT OR NOT WHERE WE WERE AND WHAT KEY DECISIONS WERE MADE. WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANY SURPRISES AND WE WANTED TO KNOW THEIR MAIN CONCERNS ALONG THE WAY. WE HAD TEACHERS THAT WANTED TO BE PART OF THAT AND OF COURSE WE WELCOMED THEM. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAD OUR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SITE YOU CAN SEE THE WAYS WE REACHED OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY. THE STAFF ATTENDED SITE MEETINGS.
WE HAD VIRTUAL ACCESS TO THE MATERIALS ONLINE AS WELL AS PRINT COPIES AT THE SITE.
WE GOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT WE REALLY TRY TO ADVERTISE THIS AND REACH A WIDE VARIETY OF FAMILIES THROUGH DIFFERENT MEANS.YOU WILL SEE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE WE HAVE OVER 4000 VIEWS TO THE WEBSITE. 2000 WERE UNIQUE VIEWS WEANING FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
118 AIMLESS THAT ATTENDED THE MEETINGS. WE GOT 90 PIECES OF WRITTEN FEEDBACK WE HOPED FOR MORE BUT WE DID APPRECIATE THOSE AND UTILIZE THOSE IN THE RECOMMENDATION. THIS NEXT SLIDE OUTLINES THE MATERIALS THAT THE TEACHERS CAME TO A CONSENSUS ABOUT YOU WILL SEE RECOMMENDATIONS ACROSS THE BOARD ACROSS GRADE LEVELS AS WELL AS ESTIMATED COSTS. TO BRING US HOME STAFF HAS REQUESTED TRUSTEES TO ADOPT THE RECOMMENDED MATERIALS AT A COST OR APPROXIMATE 3.1 MILLION. WE ALSO NEED STATE APPROVAL TO SIGN NECESSARY CONTRACTS TO PURCHASE THE TEXT LOOKS AND MATERIALS AND REQUEST APPROVAL OF APPROXIMATELY $200,000 FOR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS WITH INSTRUCTION.
>> ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT TRUSTEES ALSO COMMITTED $2 MILLION FOR TEXTBOOKS EVEN THOUGH THE COST IS A LITTLE HIGHER IS ALL OF THE HANDS-ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ARE PROVIDED THEY ARE ACTUALLY GIVING US KITS EVERY YEAR, REPLENISHING EVERY YEAR SO KIDS HAVE THOSE HANDS ON OPPORTUNITIES. HAVING AN UPFRONT COST WILL SAY THINGS LIKE INFLATION.
>> WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS.
>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHAT WE CHOSE SCIENCE AS OPPOSED TO ANY OTHER TEXTBOOK?
>> AS WE OUTLINED IN THE BOARD REPORT THAT WAS ONE OF OUR CLOSEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
OUR STAFF WAS PRETTY NECK AND NECK WITH REGARDS TO SWAG AND MCGRAW FIELDS.
ONE OF THE STRONG POINTS THE TEACHERS CALLED OUT ABOUT TO WAS IT HAD A HIGH RATE OF ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL LEARNERS IN THE CLASSROOM. AS WE WENT THROUGH DELIBERATIONS WE WERE NOT ABLE BUT WE WENT THROUGH A FEW ROUNDS OF CONSENSUSBUILDING.
WE ULTIMATELY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE GROUPS COULD SUPPORT EITHER.
WE SAID OKAY, LET'S TAKE A VOTE WE TOOK A VOTE AND IT WAS DEAD SPLIT.
ANOTHER GROUP MEMBER SAID THEY WENT THROUGH A SCORING PROCESS AS PART OF CONSENSUSBUILDING.
ANOTHER GROUP MEMBER SAID LET'S USE THE SCORE AS A TYPEWRITER BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING LATE IN THE EVENING THAT'S WHAT ULTIMATELY POINTS AS IN THE DIRECTION OF TWIG FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS.THEY HAVE A DIFFERENTIATION COMPONENT, AS WELL.
>> TO FOLLOW UP TRUSTEE GRANTS I THINK I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU REVIEWED THAT THAT
[00:25:02]
TWIG WAS THE ONE THAT HIDE REVIEWS. ULTIMATELY, THE TYPEWRITER WAS WHAT DID THE STUDENTS AND THEIR FEEDBACK.>> STUDENTS GAVE HIGHER FEEDBACK TO TWIG RATHER THAN MCGRAW-HILL
>> I AM EXCITED TO SEE THE LIS . I KNOW IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SCIENCE BUT I WILL GET A SMALL SHUT OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE EXCITED AT THE NEW COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASS. I THINK THAT WRAPS IT IN PLACE. I WANT TO THANK STAFF IS JUST TOOK THE TIME TO WALK ME THROUGH THIS AND SHOW ME YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS.
I THINK THERE WAS A THOUGHTFUL RECHECK TO THE COMMUNITY AND FEEDBACK.
WE DID A LOT OF OUTREACH AND YOU GUYS DID A REALLY GOOD JOB AND WAS ABLE TO BE EXPLAINED IN A WAY THAT THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY UNDERSTOOD. I SEE 90 WRITTEN FEEDBACK YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT AS HOW WELL YOU EXPLAINED IT AND PUT INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY WITH VERY LITTLE QUESTIONS THERE.
>> I PROBABLY HAVE MORE OF A COMMENT, OR I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST.YOU TALKED ABOUT THE COMMITTED HEAVY RECOMMENDED HAVING A HIGH CAPABILITY FOR STUDENTS.
>> ONE EXAMPLE I WILL GIVE WE REVIEWED NOT ONLY THE MATERIALS BUT ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT THEIR COMPANY'S POSITION AND PURPOSE. IF YOU GO ON THEIR WEBSITE THEIR MATERIALS AND THEY ARE INTENTIONAL ABOUT CREATING MATERIALS THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.
THEY HAVE THE PUBLISHER TO BRING MORE DIVERSITY AND HAVE STUDENTS REPRESENTED IN THE MATERIALS SO THEY CAN SEE THEMSELVES AS FUTURE SCIENTISTS.
THAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE CLEAR EXAMPLES OF THAT I HAVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS.
VERY INTENTIONAL FROM THE PUBLISHERS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKED OR I WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD CONSIDER APPROVING IS THE $200,000. TO SUPPORT THE ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
THERE IS A COUPLE THINGS THERE IS THAT AND THE CONSUMABLES. ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW AS A TEACHER IS WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME GOING TO FIND MATERIALS AND PUT THINGS TOGETHER.AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF TIME. ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS REALLY EXCITED WAS THOSE KIDS WERE PART OF THIS WHOLE PACKAGE. THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE SOME FEEL SCIENCE IS NOT THEIR STRENGTH AND HAVING THOSE KIDS ACCESSIBLE TO THEM I THINK THEY MIGHT NOT TOTALLY ENGAGE TWO DELIVERY SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPEND EXTRA TIME OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM TRYING TO FIND MATERIALS AND TAKING TIME TO PUT THE KIDS TOGETHER. I AM EXCITED ABOUT THAT.MORE IMPORTANTLY IS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. I THINK WE ALL RECOGNIZE IN THIS DISTRICT GETTING PEOPLE THE BEST PROGRAMS AND THE SUPPORT AND THE ONGOING FEEDBACK JUST ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE TEACHING LESSONS, HOW THEY ARE ENGAGING STUDENTS, ALL OF THAT IS LIKE BEING A COACH. IT'S ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COACH AND YOU SAY START CLAIM AND THE COACH IS NOT THERE OR IF YOU WANT TO BE A TRACK RUNNER AND NOT TELLING YOU HOW TO BE BETTER. WE WANT TO AVOID THAT OPPORTUNITY SO I'M A BIG PROPONENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
>> MOVED BY TRUSTEE HEREDIA. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
[00:30:03]
>> NO DISCUSSION I AM THRILLED AT THE LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT. EVERYBODY THAT HAD A PIECE OF THIS PIE. I LOVE SCIENCE I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
I THINK EVERYONE WILL SEE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY OPEN UP THE TEXTBOOKS.
I WILL NOT BE PROCESSED BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS EVERY CHILD WILL BENEFIT FROM THESE TEXTBOOKS. ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID TIMES 100.
>> NOT A BUDGET ITEM. SHE SAID 1 MILLION.
>> JUST KIDDING. TRUSTEE BAINS LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A COMMENTS.
>> SO THE $200, KIDDING, IS IT FOR THE PERIOD OF EIGHT YEARS? OR IS IT FOR THE INITIAL COST AND WE MIGHT NEED MORE?
>> THAT IS AN INITIAL FUNDING AMOUNTS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THROUGH TIME WE LOOK AT HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WE WILL COMMUNICATE THAT.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE HEREDIA SECOND BY TRUSTEE HARDEN.
NATALIA, PLEASE CALL THE ROLE.
>> MOTION CARRIES FIVE TO ZERO NEXT ACTION ITEM B APPROVED THE 2022 THROUGH 2025 CONTRACT
[XII.b. Approve 2022 - 2025 Contract Renewal with the Sacramento City Police Department for School Resource Officers]
RENEWAL WITH SACRAMENTO CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.ONE PUBLIC COMMENT TRUSTEES I WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT FIRST FROM MS. SHARON THURMAN.
>> OKAY, IT SOUNDED LOUD TO ME. WE ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING ALTERNATIVE USES FOR A PORTION OF THOSE FUNDS. WE WANT SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN.
WE ARE NOT ADVOCATING THE COMPLETE ABOLITION OF A POLICE FORCE BUT WE ARE ASKING FOR A MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF THOSE FUNDS. THEY COULD BE REALLOCATED TO THINGS LIKE IMPLEMENTING FREE SCHOOL AND SUMMER A PROPOSAL THAT HAS BEEN PLACED WITH THE DISTRICT. THEY COULD BE USED TO BRING A READING CLINIC TO OUR KIDS THIS SUMMER. AS WE KNOW IN 2019, ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN WERE NOT READING AT THEIR GRADE LEVEL. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THISMATTER AND THANK YOU AGAIN .
>> INCORPORATED YOU'VE MISSED THURMAN. TRUSTEES, DEBATE, DISCUSSION.
>> I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE DEBATE OR DISCUSSION I JUST WANT TO STATE A FEW THINGS HOW I FEEL. HERE WE GO WE WILL PASS THINGS ON HERE.
I AM NOT SURE HOW TO RECOGNIZE WHAT WE STATED BUT I WAS LIKE FOR ME PERSONALLY I WANT TO
[00:35:01]
START OFF BY SAYING THE GREAT WORK THAT THE SROS DO IN OUR DISTRICT AND HOW WE WOULD ARISE THEN AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO. UNFORTUNATELY, BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING LIED TO BY THE POLICE AT A HIGHER RATE THAN ANY OTHER GROUP RATED BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS DO NOT TRUST THE POLICE. WE CALL THEM SROS BUT THE STUDENTS THE POLICE LET ME BE CLEAR SHE'S I FEEL AS ANY ORGANIZATIONS THERE ARE BAD APPLES BUT I BELIEVE THAT 90 PERCENT OF THE PD ART GOOD OFFICERS.I'M FAMILY ON THE PD I HAVE CH . THEY HAVE ONE OF THE FASTEST RESPONSE TIMES IN CALIFORNIA SO I AM CONFIDENT NO MATTER WHAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO BE ABLE TO UPHOLD THE LAW. THEY TAKE AN OATH TO PROTECT AND SERVE.
TO SEE THE SROS AND THEY LOOK LIKE OUR STUDENTS AND IF THIS PASSES THIS EVENING ALL I ASK IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO ASSURE WE KEEP IT THAT WAY. THANK YOU.
>> TRUSTEES, ANY OTHER CEMETERY. TRUSTEE KAPLAN.
>> I AM COMFORTABLE TONIGHT WILL BE FORWARD WITH THIS CONTRACT.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH OUR SRO OFFICERS WHEN IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN WE HAD OUR VACCINATION NEXT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. I GOT TO PARTNER WITH QUITE OFTEN GETTING TO KNOW THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS ALSO, TALKING TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE THERE IS A PERCEPTION THIS IS JUST CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING ON OUR CAMPUSES? A LOT OF WHAT I FOUND HIS DATE OUT TO ME ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS THEY ARE FORMING WITH THE STUDENTS AND ABOUT THE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR UNTIL WE TALK ABOUT EDUCATED AND A LOT OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED FOR ME WHAT I HAVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS ARTISTS OUR ABILITY WHICH I KNOW OUR DISTRICT HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CONFLICT AND OTHERS BECAUSE WE WORK TOGETHER ON HAVING THE RIGHT SROS OR OUR STUDENTS NOT JUST THE PD SAYING THIS IS THE SRO YOU'RE GETTING.
ALSO SOME OF THE UNDERSTANDS THEY ARE REQUIRED WHEN THEY ARE OUR SRO THEY ARE TO RECEIVE TRAINING LIKE RESTORATIVE DOES JUSTICE TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES, DEVELPMENTS THEY ARE ALSO DOING TRAININGS ON PROCEDURAL JUSTICE, IMPLICIT, GENDER AWARENESS IS PROVIDED AND FIRST AID. ALL OF THE SRO OFFICERS ARE COMING WITH THIS TRAINING AS WELL AS CREATING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR STUDENTS. I FEEL THAT HONESTLY OUT TO RESTART MAKING A SHIFT IN OUR SOCIETY AS WE START FORMING RELATIONSHIPS.
I HAVE SEEN WHEN I AM ON CAMPUS OUR STUDENTS TALK TO THE SRO OFFICERS.
OUR FOOTBALL GAMES, BASKETBALL GAMES, HOW THEY SEE OUR SRO OFFICERS EIGHT HUMAN BEING BUT NOT THEY WILL TALK TO THEM STRAIGHT AND IF THINGS ON OUR CAMPUS OUR SROS ARE THE ONES WHO KNOW OUR KIDS IT IS NOT WE ARE INCONVENIENT WE ARE SENDING YOU TO JUMP, WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU MAKE BETTER DECISIONS MADE FOR ME HAVING OUR SROS ON CAMPUS THAT LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RELATIONSHIP THAT I THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE THINGS AROUND AND HOW THINGS ARE VIEWED. FOR A WHILE WE HAD TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN SRO OFFICERS AND ONE LATINO DEFINITELY REPRESENTED WHAT OUR STUDENTS LOOK LIKE.
SO FOR ME I SEE THEIR INVESTMENT AS AN INVESTMENT IN A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR KIDS AND AN INVESTMENT IN OUR KIDS AND OUR STAFF.
OUR SROS WILL NOTE THESE STUDENTS BUT IF WE CALL FOR BACKUP AND SAC PD TO COMMIT THEY DO NOT KNOW OUR STUDENTS AND THEY WILL HANDLE IT VERY DIFFERENTLY THAN HAVING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. FOR ME I AM COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD AND IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN HELP MISSED THURMAN AND GETTING HER INFORMATION THAT SHE MAY NEED IF IT'S READILY AVAILABLE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH TRANSPARENCY AND AT THE COMMUNITY FOR ME I AM READY TO
[00:40:04]
MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. FOR PURPOSES OF CONTINUING THE DISCUSSION I WILL MAKE A MOTION AND IF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE COMMENTS.>> THERE IS A MOTION BY TRUSTEE KAPLAN. TRUSTEE BAINS YOU HAVE COMMENTARY AND WE WILL COME BACK. TRUSTEE BAINS.
>> I WILL MAKE IT QUICK. MY FIRST MEMORY IN THE UNITED STATES IN 2001, I CAN'T FORGET PEOPLE WEARING UNIFORM RUNNING INTO CRUMBLING BUILDINGS. I HAVE RESPECT FOR ANYONE WEARING THE UNIFORM I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE KAPLAN THAT WE SHOULD PROVIDE THE INFORMATION MISSED THURMAN REQUESTED BUT I BELIEVE THE IMPACT WE HAVE HAD WITH THE SRO PARTNERSHIP, YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH THE DATA ITSELF. I WILL SECOND THE MOTION.
>> THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND BUT WE WILL CONTINUE DISCUSSION.
>> I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PERCEPTION THAT TRUSTEE KAPLAN HAS DULY NOTED BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE A BLACK MOTHER. I HAVE HAD A BLACK SON ON THESE CAMPUSES. I'VE HAD EIGHT KNEES IT WAS TREATED TERRIBLE ON THESE CAMPUSES AND IT WAS BY THE LATINA POLICE OFFICER WE HAD. SHE MENTIONED MY NAME AND THEY SAID SHE WAS A CRIMINAL. THAT MEANS THAT WE CAN MOVE ON AS WE WISH AS WE ARE GETTING THE DATA OF THE STATE THAT DATA ON HOW MUCH WE USE SROS TO PROTECT AND SERVE US DURING THESE MEETINGS.
>> APPRECIATE THAT. TRUSTEE HEREDIA.
>> I THINK THIS BOARD KNOWS VERY WELL THIS HAS BEEN A LONG DEBATE ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF SROS ON CAMPUS IN PARTICULAR A COUPLE YEARS AGO IT REALLY BECAME MORE HEATED DEBATES AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN WHICH THIS CONVERSATION HAS OCCURRED.
THE IDEA OF SROS ON CAMPUS ARE WHETHER THERE DISTRICTS HAVE A POLICE FORCE IS A NATIONWIDE DISCUSSION IT'S NOT A MINUTE JUST TO NATOMAS, IT IS A NATIONWIDE DISCUSSION.
WHEN I'M ENGAGED WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE AND WAS TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION IN TERMS OF THE PRESENCE OF SROS I THINK THERE ARE COUPLE THINGS THAT DISTINGUISH THE NATOMAS SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THAT IS THE INVOLVEMENT IN IT THE SUPERINTENDENT AS AND WORKING WITH THE SROS AND WORKING WITH THE SAC PD CHIEF OF POLICE.
THAT RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM OR RELATIONSHIP OR THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON CAMPUS.
I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ESTABLISHES US THAT THERE IS THAT COMMUNICATION. THE SUPERINTENDENT I AM SURE IF YOU PICKED UP THE PHONE THEY WOULD RETURN THE CALL. THE SECOND THING IS THE FACT THAT THE PRESENCE OF THE SROS THEY ARE NOT ONLY DISCIPLINARIANS ON THE CAMPUS. THEY ARE NOT THE ONES ISSUING CITATIONS. THEY ARE NOT SAYING HOW MUCH TIME YOU ARE SUSPENDED.
THOSE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES. OUR SROS ARE THERE TO ASSIST WHEN NECESSARY. THOSE JOBS THEIR ROLE ENCOMPASSES MORTON LOOKING AT WHAT THE DISCIPLINE IS. IT ENCOMPASSES WE HAVE CHILDREN MISSING OR WE HAVE PARENTS AN ARGUMENT IN THE PARKING LOT. AND THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES FOR ALL OF THE FAMILIES.THEY ARE THERE TO ASSIST AND ALSO THE OTHER THING IS TRUSTEE KAPLAN TALKED ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AND ERICA I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I UNDERSTAND AS A MOM WHAT THE ISSUES CAN BE WITH YOUR OWN CHILDREN. I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS TO BE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH KIDS.
[00:45:04]
THERE HAS TO BE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WANT TO WORK WITH KIDS AND I THINK WITH THE SROS THAT HAVE WORKED IN THIS DISTRICT THAT COMMITMENT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP AND THAT TAKES TIME. WHEN STRENGTH IN THIS DISTRICT IS THERE HAS BEEN A CONSISTENCY OF SROS AND THIS DISTRICT THAT CONSISTENCY I REMEMBER WALKING THROUGH THE GREENWAY CAMPUS WHEN KIDS GET OUT OF SCHOOL THE SRO SAYS DON'T FORGET TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK, I WILL BE WATCHING YOU TOMORROW, I WILL BE AT THAT GAME, HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND, HOW DID YOU DO ON THAT TEST IS THERE WAS A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT AND THEY GOT NOTE THE KIDS AND THE PARENTS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE THERE IN THEIR CARS WAITING FOR THEIR KIDS AFTER CLASS. I AGREE WITH MY OTHER FELLOW TRUSTEES THAT THE REQUEST FOR DATA AND INFORMATION SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING I BELIEVE THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND.I AM CONFIDENT AND WILL BE FORWARD WITH THIS PROPOSAL. THIS PROPOSAL HAS BEEN BEFORE THIS COURT MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK WE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF OUR SUPPORT.IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I THINK THE PEOPLE IN BLUE WHO SERVE OUR KIDS ARE THE PEOPLE WE HAVE CONFIDENCE TO TRULY WORK WITH OUR KIDS TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY.
>> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE HEREDIA. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PROBABLY DOES THE RATE FOR ME IT'S NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE. WE HAVE SOME REAL SAFETY ISSUES GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DISPELLING THIS. WE HAD TRAGEDY ON SUNDAY AND WE HAVE A DUTY TO OUR CHILDREN TO KEEP THEM SAFE. THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TELL THE NEXT CANDIDATE FOR AMERICAN LEAGUES PRINCIPAL.

IT IS A DESIGNATED ID SCHOOL SEEKING ACCEPTANCE AND ALSO A STEM SCHOOL.
$22 MILLION BUILDING PLAN TO INCLUDE CLASSROOMS, ALL OUR STUDENTS TAKE SPANISH AND SOME ALREADY SPEAK IN THEIR HOMES. NO ART, NO MATH, NO ROBOTICS, NO SPEECH.
IT IS THE MOST SPREADOUT ELEMENTARY CAMPUS IN PIECES OF THAT ONLY HAS ONE SECURITY GUARD. THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO LOCKTHE DOORS .
VIDEOS WERE POSTED OF KIDS HAVING SEX AND THE BATHROOMS. THIS IS A SCHOOL THAT WAS CHOPPED UP AND PLACED IN A NEW DISTRICT. SORRY ABOUT THAT WE HAD TO IMPROVE THE DEMOGRAPHICS. HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TELL THE PRINCIPAL.
YOU WILL HAVE ALL OF THE HELP THAT YOU NEED. YOU HAVE TO TEACH AND DO EVALUATIONS FOR STUDENTS COMING UP TO SUBSTITUTE CLASSROOMS, DEFENDANT YOUR TEACHERS, BEGGED FOR MONEY, BUT FOR PERMISSION YOU WILL HAVE TO INTERACT EVERY DATE, EVERY RECESS, EVERY LUNCH WITH EVERY CHILD ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING. THIS IS AN ADDITION TO THE BUDGETS AND NEEDS AND REPORTS. BUT YOU WILL SAY TO THEM THIS, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE HELP YOU NEED. WE WILL LISTEN TO YOUR NEEDS AND WE WILL ACT.
IN ORDER TO HIRE A TOM DICKINSON CLONE YOU NEED TO PROMISE SUPPORT THAT THEY DID NOT GET. FINALLY REALIZED WHAT A VISIBLE COULD DO.
>> WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE WHO IS JUST LOOKING FOR PROMOTION.
>> NEXT UP I HAVE RACHEL CONTENT.
>> HELLO, RACHEL, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT SBA 71 IS REQUIRED CHILDREN TO HAVE THE COVID VACCINE TO RECEIVE AND PERSON INSTRUCTION AT ANY SCHOOL, PUBLIC, PRIVATE OR LICENSED DAYCARE. FAMILIES MIGHT FEEL THE VACCINATION IS RIGHT FOR THAT BUT PARENTS WANT CHOICES AND DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN AT THIS.
SOME HAVE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS , LACK OF LONG-TERM SAFETY DATA, URGING STUDENTS TO REJECT OUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL AS OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE OR SB 871 MANY OF US HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY AND IS MORE THAN APPROVE THAT KIDS HAVE LITTLE OR ZERO RISK FOR COVID. THEY FULLY VACCINATED ARE STILL CONSTRUCTING AND SPREADING COVID. CURRENT VACCINES ARE NOT EFFECTIVE AGAINST THEM.
MANY OF YOU DO A LOT HERE TO HELP STUDENTS PUBLIC THOSE HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST IN MIND.
WE STAND FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS CHOICE YOU HOLD A POSITION OF POWER GIVES YOU CREDIT ABILITY AND AUTHORITY TO THOSE MAKING DECISIONS IN SACRAMENTO.
WE ARE RECEIVING A LARGE NUMBER OF FAMILIES CHOOSING TO PULL THEIR STUDENTS FROM SCHOOLS THEY HAVE LOST TRUST. AS A DISTRICT PLEASE ADMIT AN OFFICIAL LETTER OF OPPOSITION TO THE SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE WHAT IS BEST FOR KIDS IS GIVEN ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
[00:55:01]
WITHOUT EXCESSIVE RESTRICTIONS. STUDENTS ARE IN CRISIS, SOCIAL EMOTIONAL UNREST, WHEN HE LOST AND OTHER STRESSORS. YOU WILL SEND A STRONGER MESSAGE BY ADOPTING A RESOLUTION IN HIS SUPPORT OF PARENTS FAMILY CHOICE REGARDING THE COVID 19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS OR STUDENTS. AT LEAST SUBMIT A LETTER OF OPPOSITION FOR A RESOLUTION, THANK YOU.>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP I HAVE MONIQUE HAWKINS.
>> MONIQUE HOCK MAN. I BEGAN TO ABOUT A POSSIBLE CORRELATION BETWEEN VACCINE AND AUTISM MADE THE DECISION TO STUDY MY CHILDREN VACCINATED. WHAT BECAME A RED FLAG FOR ME IS WHEN I REALIZED MY CHILDREN CANNOT GO TO SCHOOL WITHOUT BEING VACCINATED.
BY THE SUM TO BE MANDATED THAT IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE CHILDREN.
THE PROBLEM TODAY IS YOU TAKING AWAY OUR FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I PUT TOGETHER VARIOUS ARTICLES AND INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE CDC WEBSITE FOR YOU TO LOOK THERE AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND.
TREATMENT FOR MEASLES IS A VITAMIN A, TREATED WITH ANIMATICS, POLIO IS RAPIDLY INACTIVATED HEAT AND ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. RUBELLA CAN BE MANAGED WITH BEDREST AND MEDICINES. ANTIBIOTICS FOR DIPHTHERIA, VIRUS IS TO DRINK PLENTY OF LIQUIDS. MOST PEOPLE RECOVER WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
SOME OF THE READINGS AND THE VACCINES ARE ALUMINUM, FORMALDEHYDE AND FETAL THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU FOCUS BY REFOCUSING WHY ARE YOU FORCING US TO INJECT IS INTO OUR CHILDREN. IN 2000 THE AUTISM RATES ACCORDING TO THE CDC WERE ONE AND 150. IN 2018 THEY WERE ONE AND 44. ACCORDING TO THIS GROWTH RATE BY 2032 IS EXPECTED 80 PERCENT WILL BE SOMEWHERE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.
MY BIOLOGY TEACHER SAID IF WE ARE HAVING WE SHOULD NOT ANY VACCINES.
SHE SAID OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS WOULD STOP WORKING AND WOULD IF WE CAME TO THAT WE DID HAVE THESE FOUR. AS PARENTS WE NEED IS A RISK HOURS OF AN EYE WHAT DEPOSIT AGREEMENT THAT IS A MANDATE THE THERE'S A LOT OUT OF SCHOOLS AS SOON AS YOU PROBABLY AS SOON AS YOU CROSS THAT LINE. P
>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP KIM PALOMA.
>> HELLO, I AND THIS IS OUR. CHRIS AND ERICA WE MET YOU LAST WEEK AT THE EVERETT STUDENTS SUCCEEDING. I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE VALID POINTS TO HAVING OUR CHILDREN VACCINATED WITH AN EXPERIENCE OF VACCINE FOR COVID 19.
RELATE THIS CLEAR THIS IS AN INSTRUMENTAL VACCINE. IT IS NOT LONG ENOUGH FOR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO TAKE A CHANCE WITHOUT HEALTH ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
WE BELIEVE IN HEALTHY EATING HABITS, EXERCISE IN OUR DAILY ITEMS TO KEEP US HEALTHY.
AS A CHRISTIAN I ALSO BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US AND BE IN SYSTEM THAT CAN FIGHT OFF ANY ILLNESSES, DISEASES. I'M NOT INJECT MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN WITH AN EXPERIMENT OF DRUG THAT IS TOO MANY SIDE EFFECTS AND MANY OF THE SIDE EFFECTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED.
I HAVE A FAMILY FRIEND WHO TOOK BOTH DOSES OF THE VACCINE AND ALMOST DIED.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO A NUMBER OF FRIENDS WHO HAVE HAD DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR TEAMS AFTER TAKING THIS EXTREME MENTAL VACCINE. 117 -YEAR-OLD CARDS ENLARGED AND COMPLICATIONS WITH HIS BREATHING 15 YOUNG GIRL WAS NOT IN HER MENSTRUAL CYCLE IN SIX PMONTHS. IN FRONT WAS AN ER NURSE HAS ADMITTED MULTIPLE TEAMS THAT HAD SEIZURES AFTER RECEIVING IT IS THIS SOMETHING I'M WILLING TO RISK ON MY OWN CHILDREN,.
THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN GETTING COVID IS 0.0 PERCENT IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
THE READINGS THAT ARE IN THIS EXPERIENTIAL VACCINE IS AGAINST MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
[01:00:02]
I ALONG WITH MANY OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL NOT BE BACK DOWN FROM THIS MANDATE GREAT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO MAKE THESE CHOICES FOR OUR CHILDREN.I DO NOT COPARENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT I WILL NOT DO THAT WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD OR DISTRICT. IF THESE BECOME A MANDATORY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL THEN I WILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO TAKE THEM OUT AND HOMESCHOOL.
