[00:00:01]
SO NOW CALL THE AGENDA SETTING, MEETING FOR THE BUFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR NOVEMBER 18, 2020.
TO ORDER, COULD YOU PLEASE PUT UP THE AGENDA PLEASE? COME ON, COME ON.
OKAY, LET ME GET OUT AND DO IT AGAIN.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? WE APPROVED THE AGENDA FOR THE, UH, TODAY'S MEETING NOVEMBER 18TH AGENDA SETTING, MEETING FOR THE DECEMBER 3RD MEETING.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE JUST THE DECEMBER 3RD.
THEY JUST MADE THE APPROVAL OF TODAY'S AGENDA.
RIGHT? I'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU AGAIN, MR. SMITH.
I THOUGHT THE ONE THING THAT WE WERE DOING TODAY WAS THE SRC MEETING.
SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD BE THE OTHER LOOK AT THE AGENDA, SIR.
IT'S D DISCUSSION OF ANY BOARD MEETING AGENDA.
SO IF WE WANTED TO, I'M NOT PLANNING ON IT, BUT IF WE DON'T, IF THE WAY KATHY SAID THE MOTION, IT REALLY WOULDN'T APPROVE THIS AGENDA.
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
IT ALWAYS SAYS, SAYS THAT WILLIAM ON THE, ON THE AGENDA SETTING IS OTHER, OTHER MEETING AGENDAS.
IF YOU STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, I PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, PLEASE BE SEATED, HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED.
AND NOW WE'RE ON TO SETTING THE DECEMBER 3RD, 20, 20 SIC JOINT BOARD MEETING.
SO, UM, ROBIN HAD, UH, REACHED OUT I BELIEVE TO, UH, KRISTEN.
SO WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS.
NORMALLY WHEN WE HAVE THE JOINT SIC MEETING, IT'S IN PERSON AND WE BREAK UP THE SMALL GROUPS.
UM, WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING WITH THE, UM, THE SPECIAL WITH KRISTEN AND MOLLY IS THAT WE WOULD CONDUCT THIS MEETING VIA ZOOM.
UM, WE, INSTEAD OF BREAKING UP THE SMALL GROUPS, WE WOULD HAVE TWO GROUPS.
UH, NORTH OF THE BROADEST SOUTH OF THE BROAD ZONE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE ALLOWED TO GO INTO TWO DIFFERENT ROOMS. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING THE CLUSTER MEETINGS THAT WE DID, WHEN WE MET AT MCCRACKEN, WE WOULD JUST DO TWO GROUPS, WHICH WOULD BE NORTH OF SOUTH OF THE BROAD.
UM, THEN WE WOULD COME BACK TOGETHER AND REPORT OUT.
AND THE TOPIC THAT KRISTA SUGGESTS, WHICH IS OF EVERYONE'S TOPIC OF CONCERN IS COVID-19, UM, THEIR QUESTIONS THAT WERE COMING OUT LIKE AT A TEACHER FORM OR WHATEVER.
IT'S NOT SO MUCH WHETHER WE SHOULD BE FIVE DAYS OR NOT, BUT GOING FIVE DAYS, QUESTIONS OF, ARE THEY EATING IN THE CAFETERIA? HOW IS THAT GOING TO LOOK HOW, UM, ELEMENTARY THEY WERE, UH, ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT RECESS? IS THERE GOING TO BE REST RECESS? HOW ARE THAT, HOW IS THAT GOING TO LOOK? WHAT ARE THE TRANSITIONS LOOK LIKE IN, UM, HALLWAYS AND SO FORTH? SO SHE WAS SUGGESTING THAT THE TOPIC JUST BE COVID 19 SO THAT IT CAN COVER ALL OF THEIR QUESTIONS IN THAT.
AND THAT WE WOULD JUST KEEP IT IN THE TWO GROUPS.
KIM, I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN THAT ALL THOSE QUESTIONS THAT YOU JUST SAID WILL BE ANSWERED DIFFERENTLY BY
[00:05:02]
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE BUILDINGS.I, I, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I MEAN, WHAT I, AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S JUST MY CONCERN AND VISITING THE SCHOOLS, LIKE I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, HILTON HAD MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NOT PLANNING ON USING THEIR CAFETERIA.
THE KIDS WILL BE EATING IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. I THINK I HEARD THE SAME THING AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND ELEMENTARY.
I SAW I'M JUST A LITTLE HESITANT WILLIAM.
UM, YEAH, I, UM, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THAT THAT, THAT WILL BRING GREAT INFORMATION AND THAT, THAT WILL KIND OF HELP US AS A DISTRICT TO MORE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PARENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, UH, HAVE TO SAY.
SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
SO, UH, I, YOU KNOW, UM, AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, UH, UNDERSTAND MORE OF WHAT THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE SAYING.
SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT PERSONALLY.
UM, THE OTHER THING OF THE PROCESS WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE SIC, PEOPLE DO A, UM, REGISTRATION SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHO WAS ATTENDING BECAUSE, UH, THE CHANNEL IS NOT COVERING THIS.
UH, THEY NORMALLY DON'T WHEN YOU, WE NORMALLY RECORD THIS.
SO, UM, WE WOULD NEED FOR THE PRINCIPALS AND THE CHAIRS OF THE VICE CHAIRS OR WHATEVER, TO SEND IN, LETTING US KNOW WHO WILL BE ATTENDING SO THAT, UM, THERE'LL BE ASSIGNED TO NORTH OF THE BROADER, THE SOUTH OF THE ABROAD, UM, BREAKOUT ROOMS. AND THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE, WE WOULD ALSO ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW WE WOULD CARRY IT OUT.
SO WHEN SPEAKING, THEY WOULD HAVE TO UTILIZE THE HAND RAISE OF TOOL IN ZONE BECAUSE MOLLY WOULD HAVE TO MEET EVERYBODY WHO WOULD BE PARTICIPATING BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO BROADCAST.
IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, BUT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
SO WHATEVER COMMUNITY PEOPLE, PERSON LOOKED AT, THEY WOULD BE, UM, MUTED.
SO I HAVE A BUNCH OF COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.
FIRST OF ALL, I I'M, UM, I THINK THE, HAVING IT VIA ZOOM INSTEAD OF IN PERSON IS PERFECTLY FINE.
AND I THINK FOR PRACTICALITY REASONS, IT'S YOUR, THE LOGIC SOUNDS REASONABLE THAT WE'D HAVE, UH, TWO GROUPS INSTEAD OF, UH, THE FOUR OR FIVE CLUSTERS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT CAN WORK WITH ZOOM.
I HAVE KATHY'S CONCERN ALSO, UM, COVID-19 IS ADDRESSED EVERY SINGLE BOARD MEETING BY OUR SUPERINTENDENT, AND THESE ARE OPERATIONAL ISSUES EATING IN THE CAFETERIA, RECESS, TRANSITIONS, ET CETERA.
SO THAT'S UNDER HIS PURVIEW AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE'S GOT TO, UH, UH, WORK OUT WITH HIS STAFF.
AND THEN AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL, LIKE KATHY SAYS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME SCHOOLS HAVE, UH, ARE CLOSER TO A HUNDRED PERCENT CAPACITY THAN OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE 50% CAPACITY.
SO IT'S GOING TO LOOK VERY DIFFERENT AT EACH OF THE SCHOOLS AS TO HOW, HOW EACH OF THESE THINGS, UH, UH, WORKS OUT.
I ALSO DON'T THINK AS INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE, UH, UH, HOW SHOULD I SAY AN INDIVIDUAL VOICE ON HOW THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT? I THINK WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT AS AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER, HOW, HOW THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT.
I ALSO DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS TURNING INTO A, UH, COMPLAINTS ABOUT COVID 19.
THAT'S THE COMMON, UH, CONSENSUS IT'S IT'S STINKS.
IT TOTALLY STINKS, BUT WE CAN'T HELP IT.
NOBODY ON THIS BOARD CAN HELP IT.
AND I CAN SEE THIS TURNING INTO A COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT ABOUT WHY TO JUST, WHY ARE YOU STARTING ON THE FOURTH? WHY AREN'T YOU STARTING ON IT? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THAT? I THINK IN A WAY, I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TOTALLY OFF OF COVID.
UM, AND I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE SHOULD DO, BUT, UM, THIS IS WHY I APPRECIATE THE INPUT.
AND I DON'T WANT KRISTEN TO THINK, YOU KNOW, HER IS NOT GOOD, BUT THOSE ARE, THAT'S THE WAY I THINK OF IT.
WHEN I, WHEN THAT TOPIC IS PRESENTED, UM, WILLIAM, YOU HAVE YOUR HANDOUT.
MA'AM I WAS GOING, I WAS GOING TO SAY, UM, I WAS ONE, INCLUDING THE, COULD WE, WE DO THREE GROUPS.
THE REASON WHY I WANT TO DO THREE GROUPS IS BECAUSE THE NORTH GROUP AND THE SOUTH END WILL BE, WILL BE GREAT, BUT ALSO MAYBE HAVE A, WHAT HAVE A MIXED GROUP, UH, TO, JUST TO KIND OF BOUNCE OFF DIFFERENT AREAS AND JUST KINDA KIND OF HAVE, I HAVE A LITTLE MIXTURE.
MAYBE WE DO TWO, MAYBE 20, 30 MINUTES IN A MINUTE MIXED SETTING WHERE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE COME TOGETHER FOR MAYBE 20 TO 20 MINUTES OF THE MEETING.
AND JUST TALK ABOUT, MAYBE THAT COULD BE SOMETHING TALKED
[00:10:01]
ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY.WILLIAM, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
WE NORMALLY DO THAT IN THE WAY THE MEETING IS STRUCTURED BECAUSE NORMALLY WE BREAK INTO THESE GROUPS AND THEN WE COME BACK TOGETHER ALL TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM, AND THEN EVERYBODY HEARS WHAT THE OTHER GROUPS HAD TO SAY.
SO EVERYBODY DOES, UH, YOU KNOW, GET INFORMED.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE JUST GOING TO HEAR HERE, UH, THEIR INDIVIDUAL GROUP.
SO I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
UM, I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT EARL HAS.
DOES EARL HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR THEN DR.
RODRIGUEZ LET'S START WITH EARL.
W W WHAT DO YOU THINK? OR I THINK THE TWO GROUPS HAVE WORKED FINE NORTH AND SOUTH WORKED FINE BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES, THE LAST TIME YOU HAD IT, WE HAD SEVERAL SCHOOL, TRULY PROOF OF CONCEPT, AND I SHOW UP AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF SLAMMED THIS TIME ALSO.
SO I THINK AUTHENTIC BROUGHT US OUT THERE, BRO.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
HOW ABOUT, DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR TOPICS? UM, UH, LET'S SEE.
I KNOW SOME OF THE THINGS PROBABLY GOING TO COME UP ABOUT THE BUS DRIVERS, THE LUNCH ROOM, LIKE SOMEONE JUST MENTIONED A WHILE AGO AND THE SPACING IN THE CLASSROOM, BECAUSE I'VE HAD SEVERAL CALLS WHERE NO, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO TO WORK? AND I TOLD HIM RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WOULD FIND OUT AND GET BACK TO THEM.
UM, UM, I HAVE HEARD ALSO THAT SOME TEACHERS ARE COMPLAINING OR NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT I KNOW WHY THEY SHOULD BE GETTING EXTRA PAY BECAUSE OF THE COVID.
UM, I THINK THE OTHER THING IS PROBABLY GOING TO COME UP WITH, UM, SOME TEACHERS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BECAUSE FAIR AT HOME AND, AND THEY WERE DISAPPROVED.
SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE ANOTHER THING COMING UP ALSO.
AND MY, TO THEM, IF THERE'S A, IF THEIR CHILD HAVE A PHYSICAL PROBLEM, I SUGGEST TO THEM BACK, THEY SHOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR AND LET HIM MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, YOU KNOW? BUT THAT'S, THOSE, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I'M THINKING OF DR.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, THAT I'VE HEARD, UH, AS A CONVERSATION PIECE IS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO, UH, SUGGESTIONS FROM PARENTS OR RECOMMENDATION FROM PARENTS ON, UH, ON HOW THEY COULD, UH, SORT OF, UH, RE-ENGAGE RIGHT IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD, UH, YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEERS THAT TYPICALLY COME INTO BUILDINGS AND OF COURSE, WITH COVID, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND SO, SO, UM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, THAT I HEAR IS, IS HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE GET, UH, PARENT ENGAGEMENT IN THE MIDST OF, UH, OF THE COVID PIECE? RIGHT.
AND I THINK THAT'S A, MAYBE THAT'S A TOPIC THAT THEY CAN BRAINSTORM AS SIC MEMBERS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK AROUND.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE OPERATIONAL ISSUES OF, UH, YOU KNOW, RECESS EATING IN THE CAFETERIA, TRANSITIONING BETWEEN CLASSES, SPACING IN THE CLASSROOM, ET CETERA.
I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA, UH, BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA TELL THEM THAT, UH, EATING IN THE CLASSROOM IS, UH, IS, IS GOING TO BE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
WE CAN'T PUT, UH, YOU KNOW, 300 PEOPLE IN THE CAFETERIA TO HAVE LUNCH.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN THAT, THAT'S JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA.
EVEN THE, EVEN THE SCHOOL, I KNOW WE'RE TALKING THIS OUT, BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE'RE HAVING A MEETING BECAUSE THIS MAY BE THE INFORMATION THAT, THAT PEOPLE MAY WANT TO HAVE, HAVE, SO IT WOULD BE BETTER.
I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER, BETTER AS DISCUSSED AT THE SSC MEETING, VERSUS LET'S TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW.
I THINK WE SHOULD SEND THE AGENDA MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WILL BE BETTER TO TALK ABOUT VERSUS ACTUALLY GOING INTO DETAIL ABOUT WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WILL BE THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AT, AT, AT THAT, AT THAT TIME? I THINK WHAT MAY BE DR.
WILLIAM IS GETTING AT, IS THERE MAY NOT BE CHOICES ABOUT THESE THINGS.
[00:15:01]
I'M, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT, WHICH IS THAT IS THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE CHOICES AROUND.WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY TELL SCHOOLS HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE NOW WE'RE, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT THEN, YOU KNOW? UM, AND, AND SO WHAT OPENS UP SOMETIMES IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ASK PEOPLE FOR THEIR THOUGHTS ON SOMETHING OR WHEN, WHATEVER, BUT THEN YOU CAN'T DO IT ANYWAY.
THEN PEOPLE, PEOPLE GET ANGRY ABOUT THAT.
IT'S LIKE MY DAD ASKED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO, KATHY, UM, LET ME BACKTRACK A MINUTE.
UM, SO I NEED A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE SIC MEETING? IF THE PURPOSE IS, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS ARE, THEN WE COULD PUT COVID ON, UH, WE COULD FRAME IT.
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE REGARDING PROCEDURES? AND WE COULD JUST MAKE A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT THEN WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY DR.
RODRIGUEZ, MAYBE TUESDAY AT TUESDAY'S BOARD MEETING.
UM, WE CAN'T ANSWER ANY, BUT WE COULD MAKE A LIST.
UM, IF THE PURPOSE IS TO, UM, LIKE HAVE AN INTERACTION WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY BE INVOLVED WITH, UM, SOME GIVE AND TAKE AND, AND RESPONSES, THEN MAYBE THE PARENT ENGAGEMENT DURING COVID MAKES, YOU KNOW, MORE SENSE.
I HAVE TO THINK BACK TO THE LAST TWO JOINT SIC MEETINGS I WENT TO AND WHERE THEY ARE, THEY JUST LISTENING SESSIONS WHERE WE JUST MAKE A LIST OF THEIR CONCERNS, OR DID WE, IN FACT, UM, AND I THINK AT THE LAST ONE, WE KIND OF RESPONDED TO THEM, BUT YOU DID, IT'S A GIVE AND TAKE.
WE USUALLY GIVE THEM, UM, WE, WE SOLICITED QUESTIONS FROM THEM IN THE PAST AND THEY TOOK IT BACK TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND IT WAS A GIVE AND TAKE DIALOGUE.
IF YOU USE THE QUESTION, HOW TO GET PARENT ENGAGEMENT, WE CAN, UM, KRISTEN WOULD SEND THIS OUT TO THE SIC.
SO THERE'LL BE AWARE SO THAT THEY CAN GET FEEDBACK TO BRING TO THE MEETING SO THAT YOU ALL CAN HAVE DIALOGUE.
UM, KATHY, YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN.
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE PURPOSE OF A SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL IS TO IMPROVE THEIR SCHOOL.
I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE WHOLE IDEA IS.
IF YOU GO LOOK, THERE'S THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AS A NICE WEBSITE ABOUT SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL, AND I'M SURE I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE A FORMER EDUCATOR, BUT FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING OR WATCHING, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO KNOW THAT.
SO IF THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL, THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS, IT'S REALLY FOR, UM, I, I DO THINK FOR SOME, UH, GIVE AND TAKE IN TERMS OF HAVING A DISCUSSION, WHAT CAN WE, HOW CAN THE BOARD HELP YOU WITH YOUR GOAL OF IMPROVING YOUR SCHOOL? UM, AND I THINK DR.
RODRIGUEZ QUESTION WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE THAT'S, HOW CAN THE PARENTS RE-ENGAGE BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE AT SCHOOL LEVEL AND IT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOL.
SO IF WE CAN THINK OF OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, I THINK GET SOME LONG, MORE THE, OF THE LINE OF, OF, UH, WHAT THE PURPOSE OF DOING THIS IS FOR MR. SMITH.
UM, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS THAT I, I HEAR WHAT, UH, WHAT MRS. ROBIN WAS SAYING.
AND I THINK THAT IF WE DID THAT, UM, WE JUST TOOK THEIR QUESTIONS AND NOT ANSWERING THEM.
IT WOULD ALMOST BE LIKE, LIKE, I CAN TAKE LIKE TELLING YOU THE FOODS ON THE TABLE, BUT DON'T EAT IT.
YOU KNOW? SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE TEASING.
I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE TO ASK FOR HIM TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT HE'S COMFORTABLE WITH ANSWERING, BECAUSE THESE ARE PARENTS, AND THIS IS HOW WE IMPROVE SCHOOLS FROM THEIR CONCERNS, BECAUSE THEY MAY BRING UP CONCERNS THAT DR.
RODRIGUEZ AND HIS STAFF MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT, OR MAY NOT BE, I MAY NOT BE AWARE OF.
SO IF HE'S NOT COMFORTABLE, IF HE'S NOT COMFORTABLE ASKING THE QUESTION, THEN I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD KIND OF BEHOOVE US TO LET HIM, LET HIM DO HIS THING.
AND SO HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, I, THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HIM HAVING TOWN HALLS.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AT A TOWN HALL, YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF, WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU WILL, UH, THAT YOU, UH, THAT, THAT MAY OCCUR.
SO I THINK THAT WE, UH, THIS IS AN COVID-19 IS A
[00:20:01]
BIG DEAL, AND WE CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT, UH, SCHOOLS AND, UH, ANY OTHER THINGS THAT I'M SURE SOME PARENTS ARE GOING TO BRING UP OTHER THINGS BESIDE THE COVID-19 UPDATE, BUT THAT WAY EVERYTHING, NOT ONLY WILL THEY BE, BE COVERED, BUT IF, IF THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS, BECAUSE I'M SURE PARENTS ARE CONCERNED, THEN HE WILL ASK THE QUESTION TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY AND WHAT HE DON'T WANT.HE CAN SEND BACK TO THEM THAT W WHAT THE FOLLOW-UP OF AN EMAIL.
RODRIGUEZ, UH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.
SO I THINK IF, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH, UM, UH, WITH A ENGAGEMENT QUESTION, UH, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SIC IS TO CONNECT WITH THE BOARD, RIGHT? NOT, NOT, NOT NECESSARILY TO CONNECT WITH ME, IT'S, IT'S MOSTLY, I BELIEVE TO CONNECT WITH THE BOARD, BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA, IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THE PARENT ENGAGEMENT QUESTION, UH, I THINK WHAT I WOULD DO IS, IS WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BREAKOUT SESSION, UH, YOU, YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE, UH, A, UH, LIKE A BLANK SHEET, SOMEBODY, WHOEVER IS, CAN SHARE A SCREEN AND PUT A BLANK SHEET UP THERE AND TYPE ONTO THAT BLANK SHEET.
AND, AND RECORD INFORMATION AS, AS PEOPLE TALK.
AND SO, SO WHAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO DO MAYBE IS, UH, IS, IS FRAME IT AROUND A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AROUND PARENT ENGAGEMENT THAT YOU SOLICIT INPUT FOR.
SO, SO YOU, YOU, YOU CAN FOCUS THE CONVERSATION, RIGHT.
AND THEN YOU WOULD SAY, YOU WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT COVID-19 PRESENT.
UM, HOW, UH, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW SCHOOLS CAN, UH, RE-ENGAGE PARENTS, UM, OR WHATEVER, RIGHT.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UH, OR HOW CAN PARENTS RE-ENGAGE SCHOOLS OR WHATEVER, BUT, BUT, BUT YOU CAN SET A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS UP THAT THEY WOULD RESPOND TO, AND THEN YOU, YOU, YOU TYPE IN WHATEVER THEIR RESPONSES ARE, AND YOU CAN CAPTURE THAT.
AND THEN SOMEBODY WHOEVER'S DOING THAT CAN REPORT OUT, MAYBE WHEN THE GROUP COMES TOGETHER.
R THAT IS KIND OF THE WAY WE HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST IS EXACTLY THAT TAKE KIND OF NOTES.
ONE PERSON IN EACH, IN EACH BREAKOUT SESSION DOES TAKE NOTES AND THEN IS THE ONE TO REPORT, UM, UH, TO THE, TO THE GENERAL GROUP, UH, WHEN WE COME, COME TOGETHER.
SO EARL, YOU HAD YOUR HAND UP, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT, UM, WE COULD, COULD JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, SEE WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY AND, AND, AND RECORD THOSE, AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO SHOW SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT COVID AND SCOLD OPENING IN JANUARY, AND WE GO THROUGH THIS AND GO FROM THERE.
UM, MR. SMITH, I'LL SEE, I CAN, I CAN, I CAN KIND OF AGREE WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT.
SOME ALSO, MAYBE, UM, ALSO, UM, AS ASKING PARENTS, YOU KNOW, UM, KIND OF ASKING THEM, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE, HOW ARE THEY LOOKING FORWARD TO HELP SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL AS WELL, AS LONG AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE HAVE OTHER, SRCS HAVE ANY OTHER, SRCS BEGAN TO START THINKING OF WAYS, HOW TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL, THE TEACHERS, UH, GO, UH, AND THEN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE, UH, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PIECE AS WELL, BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON WITH THEMSELVES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WITHIN SOME OF THESE KIDS HOME, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER IS, IS GETTING THEM A GOODIE BAGS OR JUST DIFFERENT THINGS, YOU KNOW, OR JUST, YOU KNOW, UM, DIF DIFFERENT WAYS HOW TO ENLIGHTEN THE KIDS OR HELPING TEACH, NOT JUST THE STUDENTS, BUT ALSO THE TEACHERS AS WELL, COPE THROUGH THIS, YOU KNOW, UM, HAVE THEY BEEN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT DAYS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF GET GIVEN, UH, MORE OF A, A DIFFERENT SPRINT AS WELL.
THAT THAT CAN BE SOMETHING TOO, THAT THE BOARD THAT, THAT WE BRING, THAT WE WANT TO TALK TO THEM, HOW YOU DON'T HAVE THEY HAVE THEY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
UH, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I, YOU KNOW,
[00:25:01]
I WANT TO, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW Y'ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE I WANT TO RESPOND WELL, CAN YOU RESTATE THAT? I'M NOT SURE I GOT, WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE ASKING THEM FOR? UM, OKAY.UM, BASICALLY AS SIC IS, AS SOON AS STUDENT IMPROVEMENT CONSOLE, MAYBE HAVE THEY HAD THE COUNCIL THOUGHT ABOUT HOW THEY CAN HELP THESE, THESE SCHOOLS THAT ARE SERVING WITH THE, WITH THE EMOTIONAL, UH, COMPONENT OR HOW THEY THOUGHT ABOUT, REMEMBER MAYBE HAVING SOME GOODIE BAGS OR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME, UH, DIFFERENT WATER.
WE WANTED THINGS THAT MAY PASS OUT, MAYBE A POPCORN OR SOMETHING, THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE THEM A, A BRIGHT DAY OR MAYBE SOME GOODIE BAGS TO JUST KIND OF EASE THEIR MIND AND, YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE EVEN DO SOME FOR THE TEACHERS, JUST, YOU KNOW, HOW TO KIND OF, KIND OF LIKE HELP THEM GET THROUGH THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, ALL HAVE THEY BRAINSTORM ANY AND ANYTHING.
SO A QUESTION MIGHT BE THEN, HOW HAS YOUR S I C PROVIDED SUPPORT TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS? YES, MA'AM RIGHT.
OR HAVE YOU, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HOW YOU COULD SUPPORT THEM SUPPORT? HOW COULD YOU HAVE, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY SUPPORT TEACHERS AND STUDENTS DURING THIS TIME OF THE PANDEMIC, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONALLY, MAYBE WE CAN BRAINSTORM ON THAT.
DID YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING, KATHY? I, I DO.
I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, UM, WHAT COULD WE POSSIBLY DO? RIGHT.
WELL, THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S LOTS OF ROADBLOCKS BECAUSE PARENTS CAN'T BE IN THE SCHOOLS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
UM, THEY'RE VERY BYE-BYE I THINK, I THINK SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THOSE ARE TWO GOOD IDEAS SO FAR IN THAT, UM, THEY REALLY GET AT THE ROOT OF WHAT THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL'S, UH, MISSION OR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS.
AND I DEFINITELY THINK WE NEEDED IT.
AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD JUST HAVE AN OPEN SESSION WHERE ANYBODY CAN ASK ANYTHING OR SPEAK ABOUT ANYTHING.
NORMALLY WE HAVE AN AGENDA BECAUSE IT WILL BE MORE ORGANIZED THAT WAY.
SO, SO FAR WE HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE COME, UH, SORT OF SETTLED ON A FEW QUESTIONS, TWO QUESTIONS.
ONE IS HOW CAN THE, THE PARENTS RE-ENGAGED.
SO THAT WOULD BE WITH THE SICD IN THEIR SCHOOLS.
AND THEN WILL'S QUESTION WAS, UM, HOW HAS THE, UH, OR HOW WILL YOU SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MORE IN THE FUTURE? UM, SINCE WE'RE NOW GOING BACK TO FIVE DAYS OF FULL, FULL, UH, FACE-TO-FACE IS HOW WILL THE SIC IS HELP, UH, UM, WITH THE, UH, ASSISTING, I GUESS YOU'D SAY, OR, UM, ASSISTING, UH, SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL THAT THEY SERVE WITH THE ASSOCIATE, WITH THE EMOTIONAL AND THE SOCIAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL PIECE, OR MAYBE BE ROBERT BE REWARDS OR WHATEVER THEY MAY COME UP WITH, HOW WOULD THEY, COULD THEY SEE HOW THEY, HOW THEY SEE FIT TO POSSIBLY GET ENGAGED TO DO THAT.
SO NOT JUST FOR STUDENTS, AS YOU MENTIONED, BUT ALSO, UH, HOW WILL THAT, HOW WILL S I CS SCHOOL SIC TEAMS HELP SUPPORT SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY? YES.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY? YES.
MA'AM, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT RIGHT THERE.
I HAVE, UH, UH, OKAY, SO, WELL, I THINK THAT'S A, REALLY A GREAT QUESTION THAT YOU'RE, THAT YOU'RE POSING THERE.
UM, AND I THINK I WANT TO PERSONALLY, I I'LL THROW THIS OUT THERE AND YOU ALL CAN TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BUT THAT'S TWO QUESTIONS RIGHT THERE.
I HAVE A, A THIRD ONE THAT MIGHT BE AN INTERESTING ONE TO KNOW ABOUT, SO THAT, SO THAT IT SORT OF GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THESE, BUT IT TAKES A LOOK AT IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
SO, SO THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED RIGHT.
IN, UH, CARRYING OUT WORK OF AN SIC, UH, THROUGH THIS COVID-19 PIECE.
SO THAT, THAT WAY, UH, THEY GET A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, A, HOW DO THEY RE-ENGAGE PEOPLE, RIGHT? AND THEN IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT CHALLENGES THEY'VE EXPERIENCED THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, TO DO THAT
[00:30:01]
KIND OF WORK.AND THEN, AND THEN WILL WILL'S QUESTION, I THINK IS SORT OF REALLY GREAT, UH, CLOSER, RIGHT? IF YOU START WITH THE FIRST ONE WE CAME OUT WITH, YOU USE THE, WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED IN CARRYING OUT THE WORK OF SIC AS A SECOND QUESTION.
AND THEN YOU BRING IN THE QUESTION THAT WILL BROUGHT AS A, AS A, SORT OF A CLOSING THIRD QUESTION, WHICH IS, UH, W WHICH IS OKAY.
UH, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU CAN DO IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING, UH, YOUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, OR I FORGET EXACTLY HOW YOU PHRASED IT WILL, BUT, BUT THAT WOULD BE SORT OF A REALLY NICE CLOSING THIRD QUESTION AND FOR PEOPLE, WHAT ABOUT THOSE THREE QUESTIONS? SORRY, I CAN'T SEE YOU.
CAN YOU PUT UP YOUR ELECTRONIC HANDS OR MR. SMITH? PERFECT.
SO THESE ARE THE THREE QUESTIONS ROBIN, AND, AND THAT I'VE RECORDED AND YOU GUYS CAN TELL ME IF I'VE GOTTEN THEM.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN DECIDE ON THE ORDER, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME PROCESS THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
SO GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT COVID-19 PRESENTS, UH, HOW CAN SCHOOLS, RE-ENGAGE PARENTS, THAT WAS ONE, UM, HOW HAS YOUR SIC PROVIDED SUPPORT? HOW HAS, OR HOW WILL THEY, OR HOW CAN IN THE FUTURE TYPE THING, HOW HAS YOUR SIC PROVIDED SUPPORT? UH, OR LET ME, SORRY.
HOW, HOW HAS YOUR S I C OR HOW WILL YOUR SIC PROVIDE SUPPORT THE EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY? HOW CAN THEY MAYBE IS THE BETTER? HOW CAN YOUR SIC, UM, SUPPORT THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENT AND STUDENTS AND FACULTY? IS THAT IT ALSO, AGAIN, HOW CAN YOUR SIC PROVIDE SUPPORT, SUPPORT, SUPPORT, SUPPORT, THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT YOUR SCHOOL.
AND, UM, AND THEN I WAS GOING TO SAY, UH, WHEN YOU SAID SUPPORT PROVIDED IN FRONT OF IT, HOW CAN THEY PROVIDE SUPPORT? OKAY.
PROVIDE SUPPORT, AND THEN YOU'D HAVE TO ADD FOR THE SOCIAL WORKER, THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL, EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY.
AND THEN THE THIRD QUESTION WAS WHAT CHALLENGES HAS, UH, HAVE, HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED CARRYING OUT THE WORK OF S OF YOUR SIC? SO, YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE.
WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU HAD, HAS YOUR SIC HAD CARRYING OUT ITS WORK DURING THIS COVID TIME? WHAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES YOU'VE COME UP WITH THEN THE SECOND ONE MIGHT BE THE ONE ABOUT GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT COVID PRESENTED? HOW CAN THE SCHOOLS, RE-ENGAGE YOU? AND THEN THE THIRD ONE, UH, THE ONE ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR THE SUPPORT, THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL I, DR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT ORDER? UM, I'M FINE WITH THAT ORDER.
I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A GOOD, GOOD, UH, GOOD SET OF QUESTIONS THAT SORT OF BUILD ON EACH OTHER.
SO, YEAH, I, I LIKED THE ORDER.
UM, AND I THINK THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOING TO GENERATE GOOD DISCUSSION.
REMEMBER THE AUDIENCE THAT WE'RE TALKING TO, THEY ARE THE SIC.
SO WHEN YOU'RE SAYING, HOW, UM, CAN YOU GET THE SIC? WOULDN'T WE BE TALKING TO THEM DIRECTLY? YEAH.
I THINK WE NEED TO, UM, KEEP THE SIC IN THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE'RE COMING TO THEM, BUT HOW CAN, HOW HAS, OR HOW CAN YOUR SIC, HOW CAN I GUESS, DOES YOUR COMPLICATED YOU THINK? NO, I THINK IT WOULDN'T IT'S YOUR, OR THE, HOW CAN THE US, OR,
[00:35:01]
BECAUSE THESE ARE MULTIPLE SIC IS HERE, RIGHT? YEAH.CAUSE THAT GETS DOWN TO EACH SCHOOL LEVEL.
DO YOU HAVE ANY, UM, UH, DO YOU NEED US TO REPEAT ANYTHING ROBIN? ABOUT THE QUESTIONS? NO.
NO, I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, YOU COULD SAY THAT, UM, YOU, AS THE SIC, WHAT IS YOUR, HOW CAN YOU, UH, INFORM PARENTS KNOW BECAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE.
AND THIS IS THE CONDUIT TO THE PARENTS, WHICH IS RIGHT, WHICH IS GREAT.
SO WE SETTLED UPON THE QUESTIONS, UH, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, KATHY, AND WILL MR. SMITH, UH, UH, SO MR. CAMPBELL, SO, SO, UH, HOW LONG DO WE HAVE A DSRC MEETING? I BEG YOUR PARDON? OH, I WAS ASKING HELLO.
HOW LONG WAS THAT? SO I SEE MEETING BECAUSE YOU, AND YOU WERE ONE TO ADD, TO ADD YOUR QUESTION ON YOUR PIECE, ONTO A QUESTION OR NO, I I'M JUST PASSING THIS SORT OF SUGGESTION AS TO THIS.
HOW WOULD THEY RELATE TO AND HOW THEY DID FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO THE PARENT? THAT'S HOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
SO I WAS GONNA SAY MAYBE, UH, MS. ROBOT AND MRS. BATON, OTHER GWAS, MAYBE, I GUESS WE CAN PUT AS WELL AS, HOW WOULD YOU, HOW COULD I, HOW COULD YOU SEE THE SIC FORWARDING INFORMATION TO THE PARENTS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, MR. CAMPBELL.
I WAS IN, IN THE NPCA, ONE OF HIS QUOTES, THE, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS.
I WAS GONNA SAY ONE OF THEM, THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION, BUT NO, WE, UH, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WERE WORDSMITHING THAT LAST, THE THIRD QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE, LIKE WHEN WE SAID YOUR SIC, THAT YOU WERE JUST ON A WORDSMITH IT OKAY.
I UNDERSTOOD IT TO BE, SO ROBIN WILL GIVE US THE, THE, UM, THE QUESTIONS THAT THE WAY CATHY AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED OR KATHY DICTATED BACK AND IF IT'S TO DISTRIBUTE THEM AND IF WE CAN THINK OF BETTER WORD WORDS, THAT'S FINE.
UM, SO THE NEXT, SO MR. SMITH, YOU HAVE NOT SAID WHETHER YOU'RE OKAY OR NOT WITH THE QUESTIONS.
UH, UH, I WAS, I WAS JUST, I WAS ASKING, UH, MR. KIM, BECAUSE I SAW, HE WAS TRYING TO ADD A QUESTION.
I WAS WHAT I WAS THINKING, BUT OKAY.
UM, YEAH, THOUGH, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE QUESTIONS.
UM, JUST ONLY THING I WOULD POSSIBLY WANT IN THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT POSSIBLY, UH, MAYBE EVEN TAKE, UH, SOME CORPORATE QUESTIONS FROM PARENTS IF THEY WILL WANT TO FORWARD THEM OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ENGAGE IN THE CONVERSATION TO HAVE COVERT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY MAYBE EVEN IF MAYBE, UH, EVERY, EVERY COMMITTEE CAN SUBMIT THREE QUESTIONS OR TWO QUESTIONS AND MAYBE, UH, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE BOARD, CAN, WE CAN JUST SUBMIT THEM OUT TO THE BOARD AND THE BOARD POSSIBLY, IF THEY SEE A, UH, A STUNNING REASON, MAYBE WE CAN SUBMIT THEM TO DR.
IT'S A BIT OF BACK TO BACK TO ALL THE COMMITTEES.
AND MAYBE WE JUST CAN, UH, GIVE SUSHI TO ALL COMMITTEES, AN EMAIL, KATHY.
UM, WELL, I CAN SAY I'VE ATTENDED SIC MEETINGS AT TWO OF THE SCHOOLS HERE, AND THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE COMING UP WITH QUESTIONS AND THE QUESTIONS ARE GETTING FORWARDED.
RODRIQUEZ CAME TO ONE OF THE SIC MEETINGS TO ANSWER THEM, YOU KNOW, HE WAS INVITED BY THE SIC.
[00:40:01]
KNOW, I THINK THAT'S BEEN DONE WILLIAM, BUT IF YOU'RE THINKING, UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THAT'S BEEN DONE.MAYBE THAT'S ALL I THINK THEN WE SORT OF GET OFF THE GENERAL THEME OF WHERE WE ARE, ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WILL'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE COVID 19, AND IF YOU'RE HAVING EACH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S 30, WHAT, 32 SCHOOLS OR 33 SCHOOLS OR WHATEVER IN THE DISTRICT AND EACH SUBMITS TWO QUESTIONS.
I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING 66, YOU'RE TALKING HOURS OF ANSWERING, I THINK.
AND IF IT'S ALREADY BEING DONE AT THE SIC LEVEL, UM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC OF, OF US TRYING TO, UH, THAT'S MORE OPERATIONAL.
THIS IS MORE THE THREE QUESTIONS WE HAVE, I THINK ARE REALLY GOOD.
AND I THINK THEY'LL GENERATE EXCELLENT DISCUSSION AND, UH, KEEP PEOPLE ENGAGED.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE, UM, TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, AN HOUR OF DISCUSSION AND THEN MAYBE A SUMMARY OR WHATEVER AFTER THAT.
SO IT'S TYPICALLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN AN HOUR OR AN HOUR AND A HALF.
AND I THINK THIS, WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE AGENDA WOULD FIT NICELY IN THAT FRAMEWORK.
RODRIGUEZ, DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HEARING FROM SIC OR ARE THE PRINCIPALS FORWARDING INFORMATION TO YOU? THAT, THAT I JUST HAD MY HAND UP, SO I JUST TOOK IT DOWN BECAUSE THAT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO JUST MENTION TO YOU.
WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY, THEY GENERALLY HAVE THEIR SIC MEETINGS.
UH, THEY'RE HAVING THEM BE A ZOOM.
AND THEN THE, UH, THE PRINCIPALS GATHER INFORMATION AND THE THINGS THAT THEY, THEY CAN'T ANSWER OR, OR ARE DIRECTED AT THE DISTRICT OR ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR, FOR THE DISTRICT OFFICE TO PROVIDE INSIGHT IN OR FEEDBACK IN THE PRINCIPALS CALL US THE PRINCIPALS.
UH, WE MEET WITH THE PRINCIPALS, UH, WEEKLY, UH, VIA ZOOM, UH, AT THIS, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, WE'VE, WE'VE MISSED A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE'VE BEEN MEETING WEEKLY AND, AND ESSENTIALLY, UM, WE GET THOSE QUESTIONS, UH, THEY'LL, THEY'LL, THEY'LL CALL US, OR THEY'LL ASK US SESSION.
AND THEN, UH, YOU KNOW, WE RESPOND OR WE DO A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH ON AND THEN GET BACK TO THEM.
UH, AND THEN THEY, THEY SHARE THAT BACK OUT TO THEIR
SO, UM, WE DO GET QUESTIONS THAT FIND THEIR WAY TO US THROUGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.
AND SOMETIMES PARENTS WILL EMAIL US DIRECTLY, YOU KNOW, I, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT, WILLIAM? YES.
SO WE'VE GOT THE THREE QUESTIONS AND NOW THE, THE, UM, I GUESS THE PROCESSES KATHY SAID, SO, UH, ARE WE ON BOARD FOR THE MEETING TO BE VIA ZOOM? YES.
THEN THE, THE, UM, THE, UH, WAIT OR NOT THE WAITING ROOM DIVIDING INTO THE TWO GROUPS NORTH AND SOUTH, BUT RECONVENING OR THE D FOR THE SUMMARY OF THE, UH, RESPONSES WILL ALLOW THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS THAT WILL WAS POINTING OUT.
I THINK, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THAT? NO, I THINK OKAY.
YEAH, I THINK, UH, ONE THING WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO DO IS, UH, ROBIN AND MOLLY, IF, AND WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS, WE CAN HAVE A QUICK TRIAL RUN, UH, WITH JUST PEOPLE FROM THE DISTRICT, A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE THAT, THAT WE WOULD SEPARATE INTO, UM, THE DIFFERENT BREAKOUT ROOMS. SO THAT, SO THAT WE'RE, UH, WE HAVE A PRACTICE RUN ON DOING THAT, A PRACTICE RUN ON, UH, SOMEBODY, UH, WHO'S FACILITATING THAT.
LIKE MAYBE YOU'LL WANT KRISTEN TO FACILITATE ONE GROUP SO THAT, SO THAT SHE CAN SHARE HER SCREEN AND JOT DOWN THE INFORMATION OR WHATEVER IT IS, A PROTOCOL WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE, BUT THAT WE, WE HAVE A TRIAL RUN BEFOREHAND.
SO, SO THAT IF WE GET A GLUT TOO, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AT THAT TIME.
ALSO, WE WOULD START BY, WE START OUT TOGETHER IN A GROUP SO THAT YOU CAN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS AND A WELCOMING AS TO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
[00:45:01]
WE WOULD BREAK OUT INTO THE GROUP AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK.BUT THOSE, WE WOULD START OFF AS A, AS A WHOLE GROUP.
AND THOSE INSTRUCTIONS WOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERYONE AT THAT TIME.
SO THEY'LL KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT, AND IN THAT THEY WOULD BE COMING BACK TOGETHER AS ONE GROUP.
KATHY? YES, I, YEAH, I'M JUST AGREEING.
AND SO THE MEETING START TIME.
I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE POSTED SIX TO SEVEN 30.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER, SO HOW LONG DO YOU WANT THE GROUPS TO MEET AND HOW LONG? UM, AS WE WOULD SET A TIME.
SO HOW LONG DO YOU WANT THE GROUP TO MEET? AND THEN HOW LONG IS THE REPORT OUT? I COULD EASY WAY TO DO IT WOULD BE TILL EIGHT O'CLOCK.
I MEAN, YOU COULD HAVE THE GROUPS, SO OPENING STATEMENTS, OR, YOU KNOW, WELCOMING THAT, ET CETERA, AND THEN BREAKING OUT INTO THE GROUPS AND HAVING THEM HAVE LIKE 15 MINUTES OF QUESTION.
CAUSE THAT WOULD BE THEN A TOTAL OF 45 AND, AND THE LET'S SAY 10 OR 15 MINUTES OF THE BEGINNING.
AND, OR WE COULD DO JUST 10 MINUTES OF QUESTION, BUT I THINK SINCE IT'S PROBABLY A FAIRLY LARGE GROUP, UM, SOMETHING ON THE ORDER OF ABOUT 45 MINUTES, UM, WITH THE BREAKOUT SESSIONS, THE BREAKOUT SESSIONS.
AFTER YOUR WILL, COULD YOU RE YEAH, I AGREE WITH THAT, KATHY.
AND THEN 45 MINUTES AND THE TOTAL THAT'S AN HOUR AND A HALF AND IT GETS YOU TO, TO SOUTHERN 30.
I MEAN, WE WILL BE, WE WILL BE RUNNING TIGHT ON TIME.
EVERYTHING HAS TO BE AROUND IT ON TIME.
WELL, WE GENERALLY GO OVER, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY DO THE REPORT OUT, BUT WE ADVERTISE THE TIME FROM SIX TO SEVEN 30, JUST GO POST IT ON THE AGENDA.
WE DON'T, WE DON'T PUT A SPECIFIC TIME, NEED TO MAKE FAITH OF WHEN WE WENT TO BREAK.
AND WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK TOGETHER.
UM, SO DO YOU WANT TO, UH, I THINK WE ALL, WE UNDERSTAND THE QUESTIONS.
IS THERE ANY, DOES, WOULD, UH, ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO, UH, UH, ADD ANYTHING OR RAISE ANY OTHER QUESTION OR CONCERN ABOUT IT? SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DESIGNATE TO FACILITATE WILLIAM.
ARE YOU AGREE WITH YOU? I AGREE WITH YOU AS ONE GROUP, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT TO DO THE OTHER GROUP.
THAT WOULD BE ONE OF YOU GUYS GOT TO BE ONE OF US BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH AS COHOST AND YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE MEETING GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME.
SO PEOPLE COME IN LATE, THEY GET TO BE PUSHED INTO ONE OF THE TWO ROOMS. RIGHT.
AND THEN THE BOARD MEMBERS WOULD ALSO BE DIVIDED INTO THE TWO ROOMS. CORRECT.
WE WOULD DIVIDE THE BOARD MEMBERS OF BY NORTH AND SOUTH, UM, BASED OFF OF THEIR DISTRICTS.
YES, WILLIAM, BUT WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT FOR SET OUT THE QUESTIONS PRIOR TO COMING TO THE BOARD MEMBERS? SO THIS JUST SO THAT THEY JUST CAN, UH, IF THEY WANNA ELABORATE TO HELP OUT IN THE ROOM THAT THEY CAN, THEY CAN JUST KNOW THE OTHER QUESTIONS.
THE QUESTIONS WILL BE ON THE AGENDA AND YES, WE'LL SEND THEM OUT TO THE BOARD MEMBERS.
THANK YOU, MS. CRISPR SCHOOL, RIGHT.
UM, MR. SMITH, PLEASE PUT MY HAND DOWN.
UM, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE OTHER, UH, BOARD MEETING AGENDA STUDENT BECAUSE WE'RE, UM, GONNA BE MEETING NOVEMBER 30TH TO DO THE SET THE AGENDA FOR DECEMBER 8TH.
