AGENDA SETTING, MEETING TO ORDER THURSDAY, JANUARY 20TH.
IF WE COULD ALL STAND FOR THE PLEDGE, PLEASE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
MEDIA HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED.
THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 10TH COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE THERE TO BE MY SAFETY NET ALL THE TIME.
IF APPROVAL AGENDA, I MOVE, WE APPROVE THE AGENDA.
I SECOND, ESPECIALLY ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO UP TO THE MINUTES AND TO, YOU CAN GET TO THE MINUTES OF JANUARY 10TH.
I MOVE, WE APPROVE THE AGENDA COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES OF JANUARY 10TH.
I SECOND, NO DISCUSSION ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
NOW WE GET TO THE HEART OF THE MEETING, WHICH IS SETTING THE JANUARY 28 WORK SESSION MEETING.
THERE IS A DRAFT OUT ON BOARD DOCS.
UM, I SHOULD SAY THAT NOTICE AT THE END, IT SAYS, IF WE DON'T FINISH GENDER, WE'LL GO OVER INTO THE SECOND DAY.
AND SO THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE CALENDAR TO HAVE A SECOND DAY.
WE'LL JUST DO IT JUST LIKE WE DO BOARD WORK SESSIONS.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS ROBINSON.
UM, I PUT EVERYTHING ON THIS AGENDA THAT YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT.
THAT WOULD BE A WORK SESSION IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
AND THEN I ALSO LEFT OFF AN ITEM THAT KRISTIN IS ASKING FOR YOU ALL TO DISCUSS IS ABOUT STUDENT PERFORMANCES.
IF THEY SHOULD BE IN PERSON, UM, RE UM, REMOTE AS WELL AS STUDENT OF THE MONTH, UM, IF THEY SHOULD COME IN PERSON OR BE REMOTE SO THAT THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE ADDED AS WELL.
NO, THE OTHER THING THAT'S NOT ON HERE IS THE REVIEW AND YOUR REPORT.
AND I THINK THAT HAS TO BE DONE.
SO WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START PUTTING THINGS? UM, YEAH, I WOULD THINK WE COULD PUT THAT RIVERVIEW FIRST AS OUR FIRST ITEM AND THEN LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE ON FOR NINE O'CLOCK.
IT COULD NOT WAIT UNTIL NO, IT HAS TO BE DONE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.
IT HAS TO BE, I HAVE TO SEND IT TO SCD BY JANUARY 31ST.
WE DID, WE DID, UH, SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THE, UH, PRESENTATION AND, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, SORTA HOW TO, HOW TO STRUCTURE IT SO THAT IT'S NOT A LENGTHY PRESENTATION, LIKE THE LAST ONE, BUT THAT, THAT IT JUST GETS TO THE POINT THAT THEY NEED TO COMMUNICATE.
THEN WE HAVE KAREN GILBERT'S PRESENTATION.
AND THEN THE PRIORITY SCHOOLS UPDATE, AND THAT USUALLY TAKES A LITTLE WHILE, UM, PROCESS FOR GETTING VOLUNTEERS WORD AT THIS POINT, ROBIN, WHO IS SO YEAH, I SAID SOMETHING TO SAY, BUT I WAS THE ONE THAT SUGGESTED THIS AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY IT.
RODRIGUEZ HAD SOMETHING TO SAY FIRST, I THINK IT'S WORTHY TO CLARIFY IT FIRST CAUSE UM, MY SUGGESTION WAS, WAS, WELL NOT SUGGESTING MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD CLARIFY WITH AN EMAIL TO THE BOARD OR, OR MAYBE IT'S HELPFUL TO HEAR WHAT
[00:05:01]
YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT? OKAY.SO WHEN THIS CAME UP, I PUT IT ON AS A RE, UH, BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GET A LOT IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE COME OUT OF COVID.
UM, AND THEN YOU SAID, DAVID B, WE GOTTA BE MORE SPECIFIC.
WHAT I MEANT WAS, UM, HOW ARE WE GOING TO BRING VOLUNTEERS BACK INTO THE SCHOOL, HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE, CAUSE WE DO HAVE A PROCESS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT PROCESS IS NOT BEING FOLLOWED WITH FIDELITY.
THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS IN THE SCHOOL THAT AREN'T GOING THROUGH A BACKGROUND CHECK.
AND SO WHEN I WAS ON OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, THERE WAS AN AR THAT CAME IN ON THIS.
AND THE THING IS WE DON'T CATEGORIZE IF THEY'RE DIRECT STUDENT CONTACT VERSUS NON DIRECT STUDENT CONTACT.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE BASICALLY ANYONE THAT QUOTE UNQUOTE VOLUNTEERS IN THE SCHOOL IS SUPPOSED TO GET A BACKGROUND CHECK.
SO THAT WAS ONE QUESTION IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD A TIGHT ENOUGH STANDARD FOR KIDS, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU, I DON'T THINK I'M UP UNTIL LAST YEAR.
I DON'T THINK I EVER WENT THROUGH A VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECK AND I HAD A LOT OF DIRECT CONTACT WITH STUDENTS.
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT LIKE, HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE? AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS ANXIOUS TO COME BACK AND DO THAT SMARTLY.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THAT IN, IN LIKE THREE WORDS, BUT THAT WAS KIND OF, UM, MY THOUGHT I GET STOPPED CONSTANTLY AT THE GROCERY STORE.
THEY'RE LIKE, HOW DO YOU LIKE THE SCHOOL BOARD? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LET VOLUNTEERS BACK IN? OKAY, WELL THAT'S, THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN VETTING THEM.
UM, UM, ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERS IS, IS, UH, IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN THIS.
WELL, IT'S ALL PART OF THE SAME.
LIKE I KNOW I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TARGETED PROPERLY.
UM, SO SOMEHOW WE GOT TO WORK INTO THEIR ENCOURAGING OF VOLUNTEERS AND FRANK, YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE PROCESS OF BEDDING VOLUNTEERS.
I, IF WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE PROCESS, THEN THAT'S NOT A BIG DISCUSSION.
SO, SO, SO YOU WANT IT TO BE ABOUT, UM, HOW, WHERE YOU ARE, HOW WILL WE, UH, ENCOURAGE VOLUNTEERS AND, AND LOOKING AT IT AT A DATE FOR, FOR THAT, UM, UH, TO OPEN UP, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO LIKE POST COVID PANDEMIC, HOW ARE WE SMARTLY RE-ENGAGING VOLUME BRINGING EXPOUND TEARS BACK INTO THE SCHOOL.
LET'S CHANGE IT TO RE-ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED THE WORD PROCESS, RIGHT.
I THINK WE CAN JUST SAY RE-ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS, UH, POST COVID.
I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AND WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO RE NAG THEM.
SO DOES THAT, THAT HITS YOUR TARGET WRITING RE YES.
DOES THAT HIT YOUR TARGET FOR SPECIFICITY AND SENSITIVITY? YES MA'AM YES.
AND I JUST WANT A LOT, I'VE GOT YOU ON THE LINE.
UM, I ALSO BROUGHT UP SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY.
NEITHER OF THESE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE TO, I KNOW JANUARY 28TH GOT A LOT OF STUFF, I THINK, AND WE'RE STILL OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE DEALING WITH HIGH COVID NUMBERS AND QUARANTINES AT THAT POINT.
SO WE CAN PUSH SOME OF THIS STUFF OFF, BUT I WILL SAY THAT FROM BOTH THESE ISSUES, I THINK ARE NOT SORT OF ESOTERIC, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT THEY'RE NOT BYZANTINE EITHER.
COME FOR THE MEETING, STAY FOR THE SAT VOCABULARY.
ARE YOU CLASSED UP OUR MEETINGS SO MUCH BY WORKING THAT WORD? AND I THOUGHT, WELL, NOW I THINK WE CAN HANDLE THIS.
WE CAN ALWAYS GO OVER TO THE SECOND DAY.
I'D LIKE TO CLEAR AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN THE WORK SESSION SO THAT I KNOW THAT TO-DO LIST IS AS SMALL AS WE CAN GET IT.
UM, SO THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA, I BELIEVE YOU WERE.
YEAH, WELL, WE, WE NEED A SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY, WHICH I DO BELIEVE IS BEING WORKED ON.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I THINK, UM, WE HAVE, WE'VE TALKED TO THE DISTRICT ABOUT THAT WHEN WE WITH HIRING,
[00:10:01]
UM, AND YOU KNOW, STAFF, SOCIAL APPROPRIATE SOCIAL MEDIA USE.UM, THERE'S A FEW OTHER AREAS WHERE I THINK, UM, WE JUST NEED A POLICY ON, ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, DR.
BUT IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE KIND OF ALREADY WORKING ON AND ARE GONNA BRING FORWARD AT SOME POINT? WELL, IF IT'S A POLICY THAT, THAT BELONGS TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF, UH, OF BOARD POLICY AND THAT WOULD BE IN THE BOARDS, UH, POLICY COMMITTEE.
UH, BUT IF IT'S IN TERMS OF, UM, WHAT, WHAT THE DISTRICT IS TRYING TO WORK THROUGH ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, WE ARE, BUT WE'RE, BUT IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A POLICY, I THINK, I THINK WE NEED, UH, WE CAN'T GO AGAINST POLICY.
SO THE POLICY, I THINK SHOULD COME FIRST.
UH, I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A POLICY ON, INTO THE WEEDS.
I THINK A LITTLE MORE THAN WE NEED TO GET.
AND YOU'RE WORKING ON THAT, RIGHT.
THEY'RE WORKING ON IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE AT A PLACE TO REALLY BRING, BRING THAT FORWARD RIGHT NOW FOR THIS TAKE OFF.
RODRIGUEZ, WHEN DO YOU THINK THEY WILL BE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY CAN DISCUSS WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON? WELL, I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND THEN I CAN LET YOU KNOW.
UM, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE AT THAT POINT YET.
CAUSE I, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SUBSTANTIAL BRIEFING ON IT YET, SO I DON'T, SO I WILL GO BACK AND FOLLOW UP AND CHECK ON WHERE, WHERE WE ARE AND UH, AND THEN I CAN, I CAN LET YOU KNOW, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, IF IT'S FOR A WORK SESSION, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT.
I MEAN, UH, THE NEXT WORK SESSION IS, IS A WHILE AWAY.
SO IF IT'S NOT ON THIS ONE, IT SHOULD BE THERE.
SO IN MARCH SEARCH AIR, CAN WE MOVE THE RIGHT CHOICES PROCESSES, UM, BEHIND THE CTE PROGRAMS? SINCE, SINCE THEY'RE BOTH PROGRAMS YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT AFTER CTE, WAS THAT A QUESTION FOR ME? NO, THAT WAS A REQUEST.
UH, WE COULD, WE CAN MOVE IT UP THERE, BUT AGAIN, I'M GOING TO ASK SPECIFICALLY, WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE RIGHT CHOICES WE'RE LOOKING FOR? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT RIGHT CHOICES.
DO THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE? BECAUSE REMEMBER I PUT THIS ON BECAUSE I MET WITH ONE OF THE TEACHERS WHO, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, HE'S NOT THERE ANYMORE.
UM, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS, UM, THE RATIO BETWEEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
LIKE AT THAT TIME THEY HAD 30 SOMETHING STUDENTS, THERE WERE THREE TEACHERS, THEY WERE TEACHING ALL GRADE LEVELS.
NOT ALL OF THEM WERE CERTIFIED IN ALL OF THE AREAS THAT THEY WERE TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN.
IT WAS KIND OF HARD GETTING SOME OF THE ASSIGNMENTS FROM THE HOMESCHOOLS, UM, THAT THESE KIDS CAME FROM.
UM, THERE'S ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER SPECIAL ED STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED WHILE THEY'RE OVER THERE.
SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW, AND I THINK IT'S, I THINK WE ALL SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEIR PROCESSES ARE, HOW THEY SET UP THE ACADEMICS FOR STUDENTS, HOW THEY MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GETTING SPECIAL ED SERVICES THAT THEY NEED SOUNDS LIKE THAT IS GOING TO BE A BIG ONE.
AND IT MAY NOT, WE DON'T KNOW THE CORRECT TITLE THEN.
CHOICES, STRUCTURE, PROCESSES, AND SPECIAL ED.
THOSE WERE THE THINGS I HEARD IS THAT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT GOING ON BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON AT RIGHT.
CHOICES BASED ONLY WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO ME AND TELLS ME, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YES, MA'AM, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
LET'S PROGRAM CHOICES, STRUCTURE, PROCESSES, AND SPECIAL ED.
SO FRANK, DOES THAT GIVE YOU ENOUGH TO WITH, UM, DAVID? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DON'T SEE ON THIS LIST THAT
[00:15:01]
WAS ON OUR LAST THING WAS THE DASHBOARD.AND YOU WERE GOING TO CHECK WITH DR.
ABOUT WHAT SHE MEANT ABOUT THE DASHBOARD.
THAT WAS IN THE MINUTES THAT WE JUST APPROVED.
MA'AM UM, ANOTHER THING THAT I DON'T SEE ON HERE, AND I'M LOOKING AT THE SCREEN, BUT IS THE FACILITIES PLAN BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT THAT THROUGH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S READY TO COME JANUARY 28TH AT THAT.
SOME OF THAT'S GOING TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH, BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT ON THE LIST.
AND SHE SAID IT WOULDN'T BE READY TILL FEBRUARY.
MR. DO YOU WANT ME TO FOLLOW UP WITH, UH, UM, UH, DR.
WISNIEWSKI I KNOW, UH, LAST SEMESTER THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED FOLLOW UP ON.
I TRIED TO CHASE IT DOWN, UH, TO GET THAT CLARITY.
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT OR THAT'D BE GREAT.
AND THAT WAS DASHBOARDS, RIGHT? YES.
CAUSE I OBVIOUSLY DON'T HAVE A GOOD TRACK RECORD ON THAT ONE.
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT, BUT I DIDN'T FOLLOW UP.
AND SINCE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SORT OUT THE PRESENTATION ON IT, UH, IT'LL HELP ME BE CLEAR ABOUT WHATEVER IT IS SHE'S LOOKING FOR.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THE LIST OR WAIT UNTIL YOU FOLLOW UP? I WOULD WAIT, LET ME SEE WHAT, UH, WHAT IT IS, TEXAS, THIS NEXT ONE IN, UM, IMPLEMENTING ONE DAY A WEEK, PLANNING SHORTENING SCHOOL DAY FOR TEACHER BURNOUT.
SO ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE, I THINK, I THINK THIS IS, UH, SOMETHING WE HAVE TO TRY TO WORK IN DURING THE COURSE OF A DAY, BUT I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK IT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN SAY, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA WORK MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY OR MONDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY, AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE THIS PLANNING DAY BECAUSE THERE IS SOME STATUTE THAT WAS PASSED THAT SAID YOU GOT TO HAVE FIVE DAYS A WEEK OF, UH, INSTRUCTION AS A RESULT OF THIS WHOLE COVID THING.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GET INTO HIGH SCHOOL THAT BEGINS TO AFFECT, UH, SEAT TIME.
BUT WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TRY TO FIND A WAY TO STRUCTURE SOME TIME WITHIN YOUR EXISTING DAY, RIGHT? THAT, THAT, UH, WHERE PERHAPS YOU CAN HAVE SOME COVERAGE FOR KIDS THAT THEN CREATE THAT ADDITIONAL TIME ONCE A WEEK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS, UH, AND, AND PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FOR SOME PLANNING THAT WAY.
BUT, BUT, BUT, UH, IF YOU GET INTO SHORTENING THE SCHOOL DAY, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD RUN INTO SOME ISSUES AROUND THAT.
IF YOU GET INTO, UH, CUTTING OUT A DAY, UM, THEN YOU EITHER EXTEND YOUR CALENDAR, UH, FURTHER, OR YOU END UP, UH, SO, SO THAT'S A WHOLE LOT TO SAY THAT I, I'M NOT SURE.
UM, YOU KNOW, CUTTING OUT A DAY IS SOMETHING THAT'S VIABLE.
AND I NEVER INTENDED THAT WE WOULD CUT OUT A DAY.
YOU KNOW, I WAS LOOKING AT SHORTENING A DAY, BUT I REALLY THINK THE ISSUE IS, UM, RESPONDING TO TEACHER BURNOUT.
YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN WE LET CREATIVE THINGS, YOU KNOW, CAN WE DO TO ADDRESS TEACHER BURNOUT? UM, YOU KNOW, THAT SENTENCE, THERE HAS SOME POSSIBLE NON POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS IN IT, BUT THE REAL ISSUE IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN WE DO TO ADDRESS TEACHER BURNOUT? UM, AND I KNOW, UM, KATHY, WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT IT AT THAT MEETING, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
AND I'LL THINK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, WE CAN WORK THROUGH WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF A DAY OR THE STRUCTURE OF A SCHEDULE, BUT THERE WAS SOMEBODY, THERE WAS ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER WHO MENTIONED GETTING RID OF A DAY, UH, AS PART OF IT.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, THAT GETTING RID OF A DAY, I DON'T THINK IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO.
SO HOW ABOUT ANGER? I'LL GET TO YOU, HOW ABOUT CHANGING THIS THEN FOR STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH TEACHER BURNOUT? THAT IS THAT THAT'S FOR ME, YOU KNOW, AND THIS IS A WORK SESSION.
SO I, I, YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST, LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME STRATEGIES AND WHAT
[00:20:01]
MIGHT BE THE COST OF SOME STRATEGIES OR, YOU KNOW, FOR DEALING WITH TEACHER BURNOUT OR PREVENT TEACHER BURNOUT.CAN YOU HEAR ME? CAUSE NOW I'M IN MY CAR.
UM, I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU TOO, THAT THE LEGISLATURE'S COMING DOWN WITH THAT THING WHERE SCHOOL BOARDS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A SPECIFIC POLL.
LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVEN A TIMEFRAME, UM, FOR UNENCUMBERED TIME, PROTECTING TEACHERS UNENCUMBERED TIME OR PROTECTING THEIR PLANNING.
SO THAT MIGHT, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS TEACHER BURNOUT AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT PLANNING PERIODS AND STRUCTURING THE DAY, IT MIGHT NOT BE A HORRIBLE IDEA TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET THE THING FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WAS COMING.
YOU CAN MENTION THAT AT THE WORK SESSION, THEN I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO I THINK THIS ONE IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME ALSO, PERHAPS BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY BOARD MEMBER THAT DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT.
SO THE ONE I HAD FOR HIM, THE QUESTION ON THIS, RIGHT? CAUSE THIS IS ONE WHERE I CAN SEE US DELVING INTO THE WEEDS IN THE KIND OF OPERATIONAL THINGS AND, UH, ALL OF THAT.
SO, SO HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE HANDLE THIS CONVERSATION WITHOUT DELVING INTO THE WEEDS? UM, WELL, RESTRUCTURING, THE BOARD IS OUT OF THE QUESTION YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, I WOULD SAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO KEEP IT AT A HIGH LEVEL AND I WILL TRY TO KEEP IT FROM GETTING INTO THE WEEDS.
THE NEXT ONE, I DO KNOW COMMUNITY MEETINGS, UH, AS YOU ALL PROBABLY SAW, WE, WE DO HAVE A TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE NOW.
UM, YES, MA'AM UM, WE STILL HAVE TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO CHANGE THE, UH, LEGISLATIVE FROM A, JUST A LIAISON TO A COMMITTEE AND IT'S BEEN A COMMITTEE IN THE PAST.
SO THAT'S AN ISSUE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
UM, WE WANT TO PULL OUT HR FROM OPERATIONS AND HAVE A SEPARATE HR COMMITTEE MEETING THAT JUST MEETS LIKE POLICY AS NEEDED.
SO HOPEFULLY THOSE BIG KIND OF QUICK CLOSURE ITEMS. LET'S SEE.
SO DO YOU GUYS NOTICE THOSE? SO WE DON'T LOSE THOSE, THE HR.
DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT THEM ON HERE? YES.
THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE SPECIFIC.
WOULD YOU SAY LEGISLATIVE AND HR? AND THEN THE THIRD THING IS WE WANT TO WORK THEN, UH, REVIEWING THE TIMES SPENT LAST YEAR AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO SAY, UM, ON MEETINGS IN GENERAL BECAUSE IT'S BOTH COMMITTEE AND MEETINGS.
WELL, LET'S MAKE THAT A SEPARATE TOPIC BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S BOTH BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
UM, THE MEETING MINUTES FORMAT, UM, THAT IS JUST, I'M GOING TO OFFER A SUGGESTION, UM, TO TRY DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF TIMELINESS OF THE MINUTES, UM, WHERE WE REVIEW THE MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING BREAKS UP AND EVERYBODY AGREES TO IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE, WHILE EVERYTHING IS FRESH IN THEIR MIND.
AND THEN THEY'RE ALREADY APPROVED WHEN THE MEETING BREAKS UP AND THEY CAN BE POSTED IMMEDIATELY.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT A CONSENSUS ON THAT HAVING VALUE, BUT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, SAY BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETING, OR JUST BOARD MEETING LUNCH, UM, BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
[00:25:01]
JUST WANT TO REVIEW HOW MANY HOURS YOU SPENT LAST YEAR AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR, IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING WHEN YOU LOOKED AT IT.AND AS THAT'S A GREAT SEGUE INTO THE MEETING, MINUTES FORMAT WORKS REALLY WELL.
AND THEN THE RESULTS SECTION OF THE POLICY MANUAL, WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE SO THAT, UM, IT NEEDS TO GET UPDATED.
WE NEED TO HAVE OUR RESULTS UP DATE AND TIME FOR FRANK TO BUDGET APPROPRIATELY WHAT THE RESULTS ARE FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND SO THAT'S GOTTA BE DONE FAIRLY QUICKLY.
UM, AND I WAS, I WAS SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED AT HOW FEW PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED IN THE RESULTS COMMITTEE SINCE THAT'S OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
BUT THOSE OF US WHO WERE INTERESTED ARE TOP NOTCH.
YES, MA'AM I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY.
AND I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T EVEN SAID THAT, BUT THAT'S OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
SO WE GOT TO FOCUS ON IT, THE REVISED DOWN YOUR WORK PLAN.
WE HAVE TO APPROVE THAT NOW THE CONSENT AGENDA.
I DON'T THINK THIS BELONGS IN A WORK SESSION, BUT DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT THAT? I JUST MOVED THIS TO THAT OUR REGULAR MEETING.
BUT WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, ANGELA CATHY, NORMALLY WE DON'T DO THAT.
YEAH, WE HAVE, BUT WE DO VOTE ON THINGS SOMETIMES IN WORK SESSIONS.
THE NEXT BOARD MEETING IS FEBRUARY 1ST, RIGHT.
IT'S JUST LIKE THREE DAYS LATER, FOUR DAYS LATER.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, AS YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO PUSH AS MUCH AS I CAN ONTO THE WORK SESSIONS WITH THAT.
THE CONSENT AGENDA JUST SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS IN THE BOARD MEETING AND IT'S SUCH A SMALL ITEM.
IT DOESN'T REALLY TAKE MUCH TIME, SO GOOD.
AND THEN IF IN THE EVENT WE HAVEN'T ADDRESSED ALL THESE SIDE NOTES.
WE'LL RECONVENE AT NINE O'CLOCK ON THE 29TH.
DO YOU WANT FOUR O'CLOCK OR FIVE O'CLOCK WHEN, WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT THERE? THERE'S A LOT ON THAT WORK SESSION AGENDA.
SO YOU WANT TO BE BY FIVE O'CLOCK THAT'S A LONG DAY.
WE STARTING AT 9, 9, 9, WELL, IN A 45 MINUTE LUNCH PERIOD.
SO, WELL, IF WE GO TO THE NEXT DAY, I WILL BE ABLE TO BE THERE.
I WON'T BE IN TOWN IN OUR NINE TO FIVE IS THE CLASSIC WORK DAY.
MOST PEOPLE, MOST PEOPLE ADHERE TO THAT.
UH, YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ME SAY, LET ME TELL YA, SO LET'S MAKE IT FIVE AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THROUGH.
AND IF NOT, WE'LL, WE'LL ROLL INTO THIS INFANT DAY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE POINTS OF HAVING THE WORK SESSIONS IS THAT WE'RE FREE TO TALK A LOT MORE ABOUT THINGS WE'RE NOT AS CONSTRAINED BY.
AND I WORK SESSION LAST YEAR WAS TWO DAYS.
WHY DO WE NOT LIKE PLAN LIKE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY THIS TIME AROUND? YEAH.
THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK, BUT LAST YEAR, MOST OF THE TIME THEY ENDED UP ONLY BEING A ONE DAY WORK SESSION.
UM, UM, THE ONES THAT WERE PLANNED ON LAST YEAR, THEY WERE SCHEDULED FOR TWO DAYS, BUT YOU ENDED UP, UM, HAVING IT ONLY FOR ONE DAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT LED ME TO SAY, WAIT A SECOND.
THE WORK SESSIONS ARE ONLY ONE DAY AND THEY WERE TOO, AND THE BOARD MEETINGS ARE RUNNING.
[00:30:01]
WITH THIS? ANYBODY? ANY OBJECTION? WE HAVEN'T FRANK.SO THIS JUST FOR CLARITY, I WANT TO JUST RUN THROUGH, THROUGH THIS LIST FOR A SECOND.
UH, THE PRESENTATIONS THAT YOU ARE EXPECTING FROM, UH, DISTRICT STAFF ARE, UM, THE, UM, CTE PROGRAMS, THE RIGHT CHOICES, THE TSA PRIORITY SCHOOLS.
HOW ARE WE? THIS IS RE-ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS.
WE STRUCTURE STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH TEACHER BURNOUT.
THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS IS REALLY A BOARD DISCUSSION, UH, WITH WHATEVER INPUT, UH, YOU MIGHT WANT OR ACCEPT FOR ME.
UH, UH, THE, THE MEETING MINUTE FORMAT IS REALLY A BOARD DISCUSSION.
THE RESULTS SECTION OF THE POLICY IS NOT, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR PRESENTATION FROM STAFF THAT YOUR DISCUSSION AND INPUT FROM US, BUT THEN, UH, AND THE REVISED ANNUAL WORK PLAN IS JUST THE WORK PLAN WITH THE ELIMINATED, SUBSECTIONS ON IT, UH, UH, GONE FROM THAT.
UH, AND THEN OF COURSE RIVERVIEW IS DOING A PRESENTATION.
WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS, UM, PUSH ALL THE STAFF ISSUES UP TO THE FRONT IN CASE WE HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SECOND DAY, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME IN ON SATURDAY.
SO, UM, YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAD PEOPLE PREPARING AND, UH, AND TURNING THEM IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU ALL TO REVIEW BEFORE THE MEETING.
SOMEHOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A 45 MINUTE LUNCH IN HERE.
ACTUALLY, WE COULD HAVE A 30 MINUTE LUNCH.
DO YOU WANT ME TO CHANGE IT TO 30? UM, YEAH.
I DON'T THINK OUR TEACHERS WANT A 45 MINUTE LUNCH.
DO THEY? OH, YOU CAN PUT DOWN 30 BECAUSE IT'LL TAKE 45 AND A HALF.
WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO AVOID IS US HAVING LUNCH WHILE SOMEONE'S JUST GIVING A PRESENTATION, THAT'S JUST REALLY DISRESPECTFUL.
SO WE'RE DOING THAT, BUT YEAH.
PUT 30, IS IT POOR? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE BOX LUNCHES DROPPING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
30 MINUTES TO EAT A BOX LUNCH SHOULD BE ENOUGH, RIGHT? YEAH.
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T READ THE BOX A SMALL BOX.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE? OKAY.
I THINK THEN WE HAVE THIS ONE SET.
DO WE WANT TO TRY TO DO THE FEBRUARY 1ST ORANGE? DO WE WANT TO MEET NEXT WEEK? AND YEAH.
DO YOU WANT TO MEET ON THE 24TH? I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS TO LOOK AT THEIR PHONE.
ON THE 24TH AT FIVE O'CLOCK OR WHATEVER.
I WAS JUST THINKING MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THE WORK SESSION THAT WE WANT TO PUT ON THAT FEBRUARY 1ST AGENDA, BUT, UM, YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO ADD IT.
THE WORST SESSION IS AFTER THAT.
[00:35:02]
TRISHA STILL ON.THEN I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF A JOURNEY.
