[00:00:11]
WELL, ONE, IT'S CALLED THIS READING TO ORDER THE MEETING AGENDA, SETTING MEETINGS, SCHOOL BOARD OFFICERS, APRIL 25TH, BEING CONDUCTED REMOTELY.
NOW IT'S ALSO BEING STREAMED BY THE COUNTY CHANNEL.
UM, KATHY ROBOT WILL NOT BE WITH US TODAY BECAUSE SHE IS TOURING A NATIONAL PARK IN COSTA RICA, MUCH MORE EDUCATIONAL AND FUN THAN THIS MEETING.
SO ANGELA IT'S YOU AND I FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL WITH THE AGENDA, MR. CHAIR, I'M THE APPROVED TODAY'S AGENDA.
AND I'LL SECOND THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
WE CAN STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
MEDIA HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED.
THE NEXT ITEM IS I'M ASSUMING WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.
NEXT ITEM IS APPROVAL OF THE APRIL 11TH COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
WE APPROVE THE APRIL 11TH COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES AND I SECOND THAT ALL IN FAVOR.
LET ME GET DOWN TO THE BUSINESS OF THE DAY, WHICH IS SETTING THE MAY 3RD BOARD MEETING AGENDA.
WELL, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE RED SECTION TO, OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO START EARLIER OR NOT MISJUDGED THE LAST ONE A LITTLE BIT.
UM, I THINK FIVE O'CLOCK IS PROBABLY ADEQUATE.
UM, WE ARE, I THINK WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME LEGAL ADVICE ON THE FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE, SO I'LL MOVE THAT TO THE TOP.
IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING? UH, UH, UH, UH, DID, UH, IS HE STILL THERE?
[00:05:01]
WE KEEP WE'LL ROLL ON.AND THEN WHEN FRANK HAS A BETTER SPOT, WE CAN COME BACK TO THAT PUBLIC SECTOR.
YOU'RE STILL GOING IN AND OUT.
I'M TRYING TO, I'M ON, I'M CONNECTED, BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR ME.
UM, WE CAN HEAR YOU BETTER NET.
CAN YOU HEAR MY, MY PHONE? OKAY.
WE CAN HEAR YOU BETTER ON THE PHONE THEN YOU BEING CONNECTED.
SO, UM, MY QUESTION IS, UH, WELL, THE FIRST THING IS YES, THE, THIS DISTRIBUTOR ABOUT, UH, SOME LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING FOR EACH SERVICE.
THE SECOND THING IS TALK TO YOU ABOUT, OR GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION ABOUT ADULT DAD AND EMPLOYMENT MATTERS AGENDA BECAUSE WE NORMALLY HAVE AT THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, I JUST AUTOMATICALLY PUT IT THERE.
I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD ANYTHING FOR THE MEETING AND SHE SAID, NO, UM, I'LL, I'LL LEAVE IT ALL THERE FOR RIGHT NOW.
BUT THERE ARE ALSO AN ADDITIONAL OR ITEMS FROM OPERATIONS OR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO ONE IS, UH,
UM, SO DO WE THINK AN HOUR IS ENOUGH NOW, FRANKLY, HOURS ENOUGH? UH, WHEN I SPOKE WITH ROBERT TODAY, HE THOUGHT THAT THESE WOULD BE PRETTY QUICK.
THE SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE MAY REQUIRE SOME DISCUSSION.
WELL, WE'LL LEAVE IT AT FIVE 10, UM, UNDER THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, THE BEEF OR HIGH JUNIOR ROTC, OR THERE'S GOING TO COME DURING THAT TIME AND PRESENT COLORS.
SO THEY'LL LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND THEN THE STUDENT PERFORMANCE IS GOING TO BE A VIDEO, BUT THAT'S BY ROBERT SMALLS.
UM, LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF CELEBRATION.
SO PAUL PARKER, SO COMMON PRESENT THEIR CHECK.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE FEBRUARY AND MARCH STUDENT OF THE MONTH AND REALLY OTHER ITEMS THAT WE DO THE FIRST, UM, OF APRIL.
UM, DO YOU HAVE CHAIRS REPORT? UM, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING AND I SHOULD SAY THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE AT THIS MEETING, SO CATHY IS GOING TO LEAD IT.
I MEAN, I'LL BE AT IT VIA ZOOM, SO KATHERINE'S GOING TO LEAD THE MEETING BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE.
SO I CAN'T GET COMMITTEE REPORTS.
UM, I KNOW ACE MET LAST WEEK, SO I HAVE A'S AND THEN LEGISLATIVE ACTUALLY MEETS THE DAY BEFORE, BUT I PUT IT ON THE AGENDA BECAUSE OF I'VE KICKED YOU OUT.
MIGHT BE MAKING A REPORT OUT, PARTICULARLY SINCE WE'RE COMING FROM.
YOU'RE COMING FROM COLUMBIA AS WELL.
SHE'S PROBABLY WANTING TO, WANTS TO GIVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM WEDNESDAY,
[00:10:07]
UM, BEING BRITAIN'S UP OPERATIONS MET AND WE'LL HAVE A REPORT ON FACILITY USE AND KIND OF CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.AND ARE THERE GOING TO BE ACTION ITEMS OUT OF THAT? YEAH, I THINK WE DO.
WE DO HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACILITIES USE FOR PART AS PART OF AN AOE.
SO I'LL, I'LL PUT THAT, I'LL PUT THAT ON THERE.
AND THAT FACILITY IS USED TO SET SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO DOWN UNDER A CENTER GENDER.
IS THAT, UM, WELL, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE UP TO YOU.
IT'S IT'S A MONITORING REPORT.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT.
CAUSE WE DID ALL THE OES, THE SUPERINTENDENTS INTERPRETATION, AND WE'VE DONE SOME OF LIKE THE FOIL
WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT FACILITIES USE.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT GOES TO CONSENTING WHEN IT SHOULD COME TO THE FULL BOARD.
WELL YOU, IF YOU HAD A, UM, A ROBUST DISCUSSION YEAH.
THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT CAME UP, BUT UM, YOU KNOW, I RECOMMEND IT MOST, THERE IS A RECOMMENDED MOTION TO ACCEPT THAT.
SO ONCE I GET THE MOTION, I'LL PUT IT ON THERE.
I JUST DIDN'T DO IT, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW TO PUT IT UNDER CONCENTRA UNDER COMMITTEE REPORT.
I GUESS TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
CAUSE I CAN STILL REPORT ON THE DISCUSSION IF WE WANT TO KNOW IT HAS TO HAVE A MOTION.
THE MOTION CAN'T GO ON CONSENT AGENDA.
IF THERE'S A ROBUST DISCUSSION ON IT, IT SHOULD ALWAYS COME TO THE FULL BOARD, I THINK.
YEAH, BECAUSE THE CENTER CONSENT AGENDA IS FOR STUFF THAT THERE'S REALLY NO DISCUSSION.
YOU THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO DEFINE THAT CRITERIA A LITTLE BIT GOING FORWARD JUST IN CASE, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC.
UH, WELL THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT LOOKS PRETTY SPARSE.
THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT IS THE GIFTED AND TALENTED AND UH, UH, OKAY.
I GUESS WE'LL CROSS THAT WHEN WE GET TO IT.
UH, UNDER BOARD BUSINESS ACTION.
WE HAVE REQUESTS TO REVISIT THE MOTION TO TABLE THE IMPACT FEE DISCUSSION.
SO WHAT DO I SAY? REVISIT MOTION
[00:15:01]
TO TABLE.REVISIT MOTION TO TABLE IMPACT FEED DISCUSSION.
MR. SMITH, UH, THE, UH, UH, COMMITTEE ON THE EAGLES, THE EAGLES, AND ALSO THE COLORS.
THIS OFFICE WILL DO THE STUDENTS IN REGARDING THE UPDATE ON THE BEAVER HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE AND MASCOT.
UH, I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT.
I GUESS WE SHOULD ASK FRANK IF HE HAS.
YEAH, I CAN HEAR, I DON'T PARTICULARLY HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT.
UH, SO FRANK, JUST THERE ANYTHING TO UPDATE ON, ON THAT ISSUE? YES.
DID YOU ALL HEAR HIM? DID YOU HEAR HIM, DAVID? HE SAID HE, HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO UPDATE AT THIS JUNCTURE.
THE CLASS IS GOING TO BE ATTENDING, UM, THE POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING ONCE THE POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING HAS TO SCHEDULE WILLIAMS. YEAH.
AND SO WE'RE WAITING ON THAT PART.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT I'M IN, HE SAID THAT HE, IF YOU WANTED HIM TO UPDATE ABOUT THE STUDENTS, HE CAN TELL YOU THAT HE, HE MET WITH THE STUDENTS, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN TO UPDATE OTHER THAN HE MET WITH THE STUDENTS.
SO IF YOU, IF YOU WANT HIM TO SAY WHAT THE CONVERSATION WAS, THEN THAT'S AN UPDATE, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO UPDATE.
UM, WHEN WE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING YOU'RE SAYING, I'M SAYING WE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING, ARE YOU THERE? ALL RIGHT, THIS IS AGONIZING.
[00:20:05]
SEND AN EMAIL SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND IT, UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? WE CAN STILL CHANGE THIS AGENDA.AND I WILL SAY THIS, FRANK, WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT FRANK SAYING.
HE CAN CERTAINLY SEND AN EMAIL AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
CAUSE THIS IS JUST AWFUL TRYING TO, YEAH.
TRYING TO GUESS WHAT'S BEING SAID, I DON'T WANT TO MISUNDERSTAND BECAUSE OF THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
AND WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
SO I HAVE, UM, UM, UNDER BOARD BUSINESS.
SO TANYA HAS THE PROPOSAL, GENERAL BUDGET AND EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION.
EXCEPT FOR, AS WE ALWAYS DO REVIEW THE LOOSE ENDS.
UM, MOON LANDINGS IN THE SIXTIES HAD BETTER COMMUNICATION HOUSTON.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AGONIZING TO TRY AND PUT DR.
RODRIGUEZ WILLIAM SMITH AND CAN'T HEAR EITHER OF THEM.
SO WOULD JUST SAY IT'S REMINISCENT OF 1960S MOON LANDING.
WELL, ACTUALLY I DON'T THINK IT'S MY FAULT.
MY QUESTION WAS, HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TALKED TO SOME STUDENTS AND THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATE, UH, THE LAST, UM, AND SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING THAT BACK BEFORE THE BOARD.
AND THE NEXT THING I HEARD WAS THAT D A POLICY COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY WEREN'T, THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IT.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHEN WE SAID, OH, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY NOW THE POLICY COMMITTEE GOT THIS ALL OF A SUDDEN.
SO I WAS WAITING FOR AN UPDATE TO COME BEFORE THE BORDER.
FRANK, DID YOU HEAR HIM? YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I'LL BE HAPPY TO GIVE THE BOARD AN UPDATE.
I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY IN TERMS OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION, RIGHT.
AND, AND THERE'S ONE SOLUTION THAT THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, AND, AND SHORT OF THAT, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT THERE.
YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE IS JUST THAT I SPOKE TO STUDENTS.
SO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY THAT I SPOKE TO STUDENTS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO SAY THAT I SPOKE TO STUDENTS.
UH, YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
SO WE'LL PUT IT UNDER OTHER MATTERS.
UM, SHOULD WE SAY UPDATE ON MEETING WITH STUDENTS REGARDING ON LOW GIRL? EVERYBODY WILL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE IT TO ME.
IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU ANGEL? YES.
NOW LET'S GET TO THE LOOSE ENDS.
UM, LET'S SEE, SHARING, UM, UPDATE ON ANY BLANKET EASTMAN IN THE DISTRICT WAS THAT SENT OUT BY EMAIL.
[00:25:01]
I COULD FOLLOW UP WITH ROBERT.HE, I THINK HIS STAFF WAS PREPARING NOW.
WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY, EVERYTHING ELSE EITHER GOES TO COMMITTEE OR GOES TO A WORK SESSION EXCEPT FOR EARL'S FOLLOW-UP AND THE EASEMENT.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THIS LIST AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WOULD FALL.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECEIVED IT.
YOU PROBABLY DID, BUT, UM, KELLY MID-MAY AND SENT EVERYONE AN EMAIL ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THAT TEACHERS WORK DAILY AND WHAT THEY ARE AND ARE NOT BEING COMPENSATED FOR.
AND I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
SO WHAT IS THAT? SO I GUESS I ONLY PAY WHAT IS, HOW MANY HOURS ARE TEACHERS PAID FOR DAILY AND WHAT ARE THE MANDATORY WORKING HOURS? THOSE ARE JUST TWO THINGS THAT I COULD PROCEED FROM HER EMAIL, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HER EMAIL AND HER RESEARCH, SHE SAYS THAT, UM, TEACHERS ARE PAID FOR SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS A DAY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY WORK MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COME IN EARLY FOR DUTIES AND THEN THEY HAVE TO, THEY LEAVE AFTER STUDENTS FOR DUTIES.
UM, AND THEIR LUNCHES TEND TO SOMETIME BE INCUMBENTS.
WE ARE, WE WERE WELL AWARE OF THAT, BUT I JUST NEED SOME CLARIFICATION.
I KNOW I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION.
I JUST LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, EXEMPT EMPLOYEES ARE AREN'T, AREN'T PAID OVERTIME.
I HAVE A SIMILAR QUESTION THAT I WAS GOING TO SEND AN EMAIL TO THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE BECAUSE TO ME, THE STAFF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLAN IS REALLY TWO BIG BITES.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRINGING TO ME, LIKE PAY FORMULAS AND ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THAT IN SORT OF THIS BIG UMBRELLA THING THAT I THINK OPERATIONS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO TAKE ON OR MAKE IT A SEPARATE ACTION ITEM.
BUT TO ME, IT'S FINE EITHER WAY IS FINE.
I JUST WAS GOING TO SUGGEST I HAD A VERY SIMILAR THOUGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE CALCULATE ALL THESE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS AS PART OF THE RETENTION PLAN.
SO DO YOU ALL PERFECT FIT, BUT ANGELA HAS THIS IS YOUR ISSUE OR DO YOU THINK, I THINK SHE SHOULD ADD IT BECAUSE IT ALL REVOLVES AROUND TEACHER PAY.
SO THIS GOES TO OPERATIONS OR TO BEFORE I THINK THAT'S, THERE'S OPERATIONS WANT TO TACKLE THAT IN BRENT? WELL, WHEN I WAS GOING TO PUT IN, CAUSE I HAD A SIMILAR THING WHERE SOMEONE'S HAS BEEN SHOWING ME HOW WE CALCULATE LIKE HOURLY HOURS AND WHATNOT.
AND IN MY OPINION, IT'S NOT SUPER TRANSPARENT, KIND OF HOW THAT ALL WORKS AND IT CAUSES A LOT OF CONSTERNATION.
SO I WAS GOING TO KIND OF PUT THAT IN A HOLISTIC LOOK AT PRETENSION PLAN, BUT IT COULD GET LOST IN A BIGGER PICTURE IF YOU WANT TO LIKE SPOTLIGHT IT SO WE CAN PUT IT IN.
AND I'LL INCLUDE YOU IN THE EMAIL OF THINGS.
I THINK QUESTIONS I'D LIKE HR TO KIND OF, UM, ANSWER AND SORT OF THINGS I'D LIKE FOR THEM TO BRING, UM, UNDER THE STAFF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, OR IF YOU WILL OUTLINE IT SPECIFICALLY AND CARVE IT OUT EITHER WAY IS FINE WITH ME.
BUT I SHARE SOME OF YOUR SORT OF LIKE, I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.
I THINK THAT SHOULD FALL UNDER THAT UMBRELLA.
SO WHEN HR COMES BACK, THEY CAN BRING IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, I WILL INCLUDE YOU ON THE EMAILS I'M WITH OPERATIONS COMMITTEE AND I'LL INCLUDE THE WHOLE BOARD SO THAT EVERYONE CAN KIND OF BRING IF THEY HAVE ISSUES THEY WANT TO LOOK AT HOLISTICALLY.
UH, JUST, UH, UH, ANOTHER THOUGHT, I MEAN, YOU CAN THROW IT ALL IN THERE AND LOOK AT ALL OF IT AND ALL OF THAT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT EMAIL POINTED OUT, RIGHT? THERE'S A SPECIFIC MECHANISM FOR THEM TO BRING THAT INFORMATION FORWARD AS A COMPLAINT OR AS A GRIEVANCE OR AS AN ISSUE TO THE HR DEPARTMENT.
SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND DEAL WITH RIGHT.
CAUSE THAT MAY JUST BE A SPECIFIC CASE, RIGHT.
THAT MAY NOT BE IN A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PLACES.
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE QUESTION, I THINK THAT'S A PART OF THE QUESTION TOO.
HOW, HOW DO THEY GRIEVE THIS? I MEAN, IF THERE AN ISSUE THAT THEY, THAT SHE IS HAVING RIGHT, THEN, THEN THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE, RIGHT.
THERE'S A MECHANISM FOR HER TO BRING THAT FORWARD.
AND, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE HANDLED.
I, I, MY, MY, MY THOUGHT IS TO BE DEALT WITH AND HANDLED, UH, THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE
[00:30:01]
PROCESSES FOR, FOR THOSE THINGS.I THINK WE GOT INTO, UH, INTO A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING ALL THESE THINGS.
UH, AND, AND THEN YOU BECOME IN A SENSE, SORT OF THE GRIEVANCE DEPARTMENT, WHO'S GOING TO TELL THIS, UM, TEACHER THAT TH THAT SHE SHOULD PURSUE THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO REACH OUT TO HER.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHO IT IS, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO REACH OUT BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK WE NEED CLARIFY CLARIFICATION AROUND IS, IS THIS JUST AT HER SCHOOL, THAT, THAT SHE IS SOMETHING THAT SHE PERSONALLY IS EXPERIENCING OR, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A QUITE ADEQUATE, YEAH, I AGREE WITH FRANK, THAT'S PRIMARILY IT.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S A BUILDING, A CLIMATE CULTURE THING, AND YOU'VE TALKED TO HIM ABOUT WORKOUT, TEACH US A SALARY, OR A WORKOUT WAS CERTIFIED COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS.
IT'S KIND OF IRRELEVANT TERMS OF HOW MANY HOURS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO A DAY AND ET CETERA, ET CETERA, BECAUSE IT DOES DEPEND ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE TEACHER DEEMS AS A WORK DAY, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WINDOW OF THAT CERTIFIED STAFF MEMBER.
AND I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN BREAK IT DOWN TO HOURLY STUFF AND BE FAIR WITH EVERYONE INVOLVED.
I THINK THAT DOES BELONG TO FRANK AND HR DEPARTMENT AND THE SPECIFIC, UH, BUILDING ADMINISTRATORS IN TERMS OF HOW MANY HOURS WHAT'S THE CLIMATE AND HOW MANY EXTRA HOURS INDIVIDUALS ARE ASKED TO WORK.
AND IF THEY'RE ASKED TO DO SOMETHING ABOVE AND BEYOND, ARE THEY COMPENSATED FOR IT? IF THAT'S THE QUESTION THEN FINE.
YOU KNOW, GENERALLY WE CAN GET A REPORT ON THAT, BUT I READ THAT YOU DIVE INTO EVERY LITTLE INDIVIDUAL SITUATION AND WE'D BE BOGGED DOWN FOREVER, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO DIG DEEP INTO WHAT'S HAPPENING FROM FRANK STAMP ONE.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH THAT.
WE WILL GO TO MS. INGRID TO COME BACK TO EARL.
UM, AND I DON'T MEAN TO SPEAK FOR ANGELA AT ALL.
MY INTERPRETATION IS NOT TO ADJUDICATE AN INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINT THROUGH THE BOARD, BUT AS A BOARD MEMBER, UM, I CAN TELL YOU, I THERE'S A LOT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS.
SO I WAS LOOKING AT IT MORE, YOU KNOW, HAVING HR COME AND EXPLAIN HOW SOME OF THESE THINGS, AND I'M NOT SURE, I KIND OF REMEMBER READING THIS EMAIL.
UM, BUT I DON'T SEE IT AS DEALING WITH A SPECIFIC COMPLAINT, BUT UNDERSTANDING FROM HR, WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND HOW IT WORKS.
AND IF WE GET ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, EMAIL FROM SOMEONE WE'LL BE BETTER INFORMED.
CAUSE I, I JUST FEEL A LITTLE BIT LOST SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE TALK TO ME ABOUT HR ISSUES.
SO I'M LOOKING AT LIKE A THIRD FROM MY COMMITTEE'S THING, LOOKING AT LIKE A 30,000 FOOT VIEW OF HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.
AND I AGREE WITH YOU INGRID, JUST, AND I ALSO AGREE WITH MR. CAMPBELL.
UM, WE NEED TO, I PERSONALLY NEED CLARIFICATION BECAUSE I'M FAR REMOVED FROM THE CLASSROOM AND THE HR STEP.
SO IF WE CAN GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON HOW IT WORKS FROM HR, THEN MAYBE THAT'LL HELP OUT WHATEVER SITUATION IS GOING ON.
BUT I JUST WANT ONE THING JUMPED OUT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
WE WOULD NEVER RESPOND, UM, EXPLAINING AN HR ISSUE.
I THINK WE ALWAYS SHOULD SEND THAT TO HR.
WELL, THAT'S WHY IT WAS CONFUSING TO ME WHEN IT WAS LIKE, WELL, THERE'S A PROCESS FOR THAT, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, WHICH IS FINE, BUT THAT'S WHY I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW HR WORKS.
CAUSE WE GET A FAIR AMOUNT OF HR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS FROM PEOPLE.
AND SO HAVING A BETTER, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF POKING AROUND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF HR SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE MORE INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.
SO IT'S JUST HARDER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROPER PROCESS IS.
I DEFINITELY DO AGREE WITH HER ON THAT.
ARE YOU, ARE YOU DONE ANGRY? WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN WHAT'S ON THIS
[00:35:01]
THIRD SHEET.WELL, I'M HOPING IT'S WHAT I OFFERED TO MILTON WAS TO FOLD AN EXAMPLE OF A SITUATION THAT THE BOARD MAY NOT UNDERSTAND INTO THE, THE 30,000 DEGREES VIEW, UNDERSTANDING THAT I'M HOPING TO GLEAN FROM HR ABOUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES.
IT WAS JUST A PLACE THAT, UM, AS PART OF A LARGER DISCUSSION, OKAY.
AND I DEFINITELY DO AGREE WITH ENGLISH BECAUSE THE FACT THAT WE DO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE CALLED US WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SITUATIONS TO CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS AND THEY'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING IT, OR WE'RE TELLING THEM THAT, YEAH, WE ARE PROVEN SOMETHING AS A BOARD.
AND THEN THEY SAID, WELL, THAT WAY I'M NOT BEING, I DON'T THINK THAT I'M GETTING COMPENSATED OR, OR I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OR WHATEVER YOU REALLY DONE BECAUSE MY PAYCHECK OR MY PAY IS NOT REFLECTED, WHICH IS WHAT Y'ALL ARE SEEN AS THE BOARD PUBLICLY.
SO I THINK THAT THE MORE THAT I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH HAVING CONVERSATIONS, BECAUSE FOR THEM, IT'S NOT LIKE SOME PEOPLE SAY, OR TO BE DEALING WITH THESE WITH HR ISSUES IS BOTH CLARIFICATION AND UNDERSTANDING AND PROCESSING IT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS.
AND AS A BOARD, NOT, WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS, UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS IS NOT A PROBLEM.
AND I THINK THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY TIMES WHERE WE SAY, OH, WELL, WE DON'T WANT THE BOARD, UH, KNOWING THAT THE BOARD SHOULD KNOW THE PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE COME TO US, IT, WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD BE INFORMATIVE ENOUGH TO TELL THEM WHAT THE PROCESS IS BECAUSE HOW CAN WE REDIRECT THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS IF WE DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS? SO SOME OF THESE, SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS, I'LL SAY, I ASSUME THE SITUATION THAT ARE GIVEN TO DIFFERENT BOARD MEMBERS OR TO SOME OF THE SAME BOARD MEMBERS.
AND IF WE UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS MORE THAN WE CAN, WE CAN, WE CAN BETTER MORE SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
SO I DO SEE THIS AS A CONDITION AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE HANDLING THESE THINGS.
AND THEN ONCE WE HANDLE THEM, WE SHOULDN'T BE LEARNING HOW TO REDIRECT OR HOW TO TELL PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCESS IS, WHO WHAT, WHERE WHEN LINE, HOW, UH, MR.
I DO HAVE MY HAND UP BECAUSE I DO HAVE AN INTEREST IN RESPONDING TO IT SO I CAN DO IT LATER.
OR SO AGAIN, I THINK ONE OF THE POINTS I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT, UH, YOU UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS IS FINE, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU EXPLAINING THE PROCESS TO EMPLOYEES OF THE SYSTEM MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST, RIGHT? BECAUSE, BECAUSE THERE, THERE MAY BE NUANCES WITH INDIVIDUAL CASES.
AND SO IT'S, IT'S BETTER WHEN THEY HAVE AN HR ISSUE OR AN HR QUESTION TO REFER THEM TO THE HR DEPARTMENT AND LET THE HR DEPARTMENT HANDLE IT.
BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF IN A SITUATION WHERE THE HR DEPARTMENT IS NOW TRYING TO HANDLE SOMETHING.
AND WHAT THEY HEAR BACK IS, WELL, THE BOARD MEMBER TOLD ME TO DO THIS, AND THIS IS THE PROCESS.
AND THE BOARD MEMBER TOLD ME, AND YOU MAY, OR, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES ON YOU, YOU, YOU MAY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS IN, IN GENERAL TERMS, GETTING DOWN TO THE NITTY-GRITTY AND SPECIFICS OF THE PROCESS IS, IS OFTENTIMES IN THOSE DETAILS WHERE, WHERE THE CHALLENGES MIGHT BE.
SO THAT'S ALL, UM, YES, I AGREE WITH WHAT DR.
RODRIGUEZ SAID, AND IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS, I HOPE THEY DO IT AT A WORK SESSION.
LET MRS. WALTON COME IN AND EXPLAIN THE WHOLE THING, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REALLY, AS A BOARD MEMBER, YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM PERIOD, YOU KNOW, AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE GIVE YOU INFORMATION, THAT'S NOT CORRECT INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU.
UH, I HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, BUT I THINK THAT AS THIS BOAT, RIGHT, OUTLINE THAT THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS WHERE THIS INFORMATION IS, HAS BEEN MORE CLEAR, MORE CLEARLY WRITTEN AND INFORMATION HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS UPON WEBSITES AND UPON DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT THINGS WHERE THEY CAN FIND OUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY POSSIBLY A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE, UM, AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND VERY SOON AND POSSIBLY IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, UM, THAT, UM, THAT'S JUST, UH, WHERE I'M AT, BECAUSE, UM, I SEE EXACTLY, UM, WHAT WOULD MOVE ONE, ONE WAS BOAT RIDE ANOTHER, AND I SEE WHAT BO I SEE IT FROM I'M LISTENING TO BOTH SIDES OF IT,
[00:40:01]
BUT THERE'S EASIER SAID WHEN THE BALL IS NOT IN YOUR COURT, I MEAN, OR IT'S EASIER FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO HANDLE.SO THANK YOU AS A BOARD MEMBER, SOME OF US BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN SYSTEM, SO CORRECTION, SOME OF US DO KNOW THE PROCESS AND SOME OF US HAVE BEEN ON ANOTHER SIDE OF THAT SIDE OF IT, SO THAT IT MISSES THE STADIUM.
MR. CAMPBELL MAY WAS, THAT WAS AN ACCURATE, SOME OF US DO KNOW SOME OF US HAVE BEEN DISTRICT EMPLOYEES, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS WILL, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS.
DO WE, THE PROCESS THAT MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE SAME, I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.
THERE'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT ISSUE THAT CAME UP, WHICH IS TRANSPARENCY OF HR RULES AND REGS.
AND I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE OPERATIONS COMMUNITY.
SO WE JUST NEED TO CHANGE THAT, THAT OUT.
WELL, I MEAN, CAUSE I, I HEAR, I HEAR AN ISSUE COMING UP ABOUT TRANSPARENCY OF HR RULES AND REGS.
AND I THINK THAT'S A VALID THING FOR THE OPERATIONS CREATED TO DEAL WITH.
UM, BUT THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT THIS ISSUE.
AND I AGREE WITH FRANK, BY THE WAY THAT WE DON'T WANT TO MUCK AROUND TOO MUCH, OR WE NEED TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO GET AN ANSWER TO THEIR QUESTIONS, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO ANSWER IT CAUSE WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH.
UM, AND WE CAN, WE CAN SCREW THINGS UP AND EVEN HAVE SOME LEGAL LIABILITY.
SO TRANSPARENCY OF HR REGULATIONS AND HOW THE TEACHERS REPORT THEIR ISSUES.
IF WE COULD REWORD THAT AND THAT WOULD SATISFY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
ANGELA, I THINK THAT'S A VALID THING.
UM, FOR THE OPERATIONS COMMUNITY TO ATTACK TRANSPARENCY OF HR RULES AND REGULATIONS.
THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WILL TAKE THIS CHARGE AND HONOR IT.
THERE WAS A LITTLE ANGEL YOU WANT TO SELL THEM IN ADDITION TO THAT? YES.
AND HOW DID TEACHERS, UM, REPORT THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE? OKAY.
I THINK WE'VE GONE THROUGH A REAL BALANCE.
IS THAT ANGELA? THIS IS YOURS.
AND WE CAN PUT ANGELA'S NAME OR ON THE RIGHT SIDE THERE AND NOT TO SPEAK OUT OF THE FARM, BUT THERE'S ARTIST, STAFF, RETENTION PLANS ALREADY IN THERE.
IT'S THE STAFF RECRUITMENT PLAN.
ARE YOU OUT TO CHECK IT? LIKE IT'S DONE.
IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER RIGHT UP THERE.
DID WE CLOSE ANY OF THESE? YEAH, ONCE THEY WERE CLOSED DOWN, I TOOK THEM OFF THE, UM, I THOUGHT WE CLOSED.
WHAT HAVE WE, NOT THE POLICY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS IS GOING TO, UM, IT WENT TO POLICY AND THAT'S STILL IN POLICY.
WE HAVEN'T FINISHED OR BROUGHT ANYTHING BACK TO THE BOARD WITH IT YET, SO.
THEN I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH, UH, WITH OUR LOOSE ENDS LIST AND I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH THE AGENDA.
SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT.
I THINK SO IT'S LIKE, IS IT, IS IT, IS IT, IS, IS THERE AN R AFTER THE BN RUBICON? I THINK IT'S TELLING ME HOW TO SPELL IT.
