And as enrollment declines, as our schools get smaller, it becomes a 604 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:56,399 as our schools get smaller, it becomes a 605 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,470 as our schools get smaller, it becomes a lot more difficult for us to provide the 606 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:58,480 lot more difficult for us to provide the 607 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,310 lot more difficult for us to provide the thriving experience that we hope to 608 00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:00,320 thriving experience that we hope to 609 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,110 thriving experience that we hope to provide. And you've seen this slide a 610 00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:03,120 provide. And you've seen this slide a 611 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,710 provide. And you've seen this slide a number of times, but it really 612 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:04,720 number of times, but it really 613 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,790 number of times, but it really illustrate the challenges as schools go 614 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:06,800 illustrate the challenges as schools go 615 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,790 illustrate the challenges as schools go from three classes per grade level to 616 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:08,800 from three classes per grade level to 617 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,269 from three classes per grade level to one class per grade level. This past 618 00:12:11,269 --> 00:12:11,279 one class per grade level. This past 619 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,190 one class per grade level. This past year, we started seeing more and more 620 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:13,200 year, we started seeing more and more 621 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,590 year, we started seeing more and more multi-grade classrooms. 622 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:15,600 multi-grade classrooms. 623 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,430 multi-grade classrooms. That is what we are seeing. By doing 624 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:17,440 That is what we are seeing. By doing 625 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,269 That is what we are seeing. By doing nothing, we could expect a lot more 626 00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:19,279 nothing, we could expect a lot more 627 00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,190 nothing, we could expect a lot more schools being over on the right side 628 00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:21,200 schools being over on the right side 629 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,590 schools being over on the right side struggling to meet our student needs 630 00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:23,600 struggling to meet our student needs 631 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,829 struggling to meet our student needs because we have less resources in our 632 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:25,839 because we have less resources in our 633 00:12:25,839 --> 00:12:27,430 because we have less resources in our schools based on the declining 634 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:27,440 schools based on the declining 635 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,190 schools based on the declining enrollment. 636 00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:29,200 enrollment. 637 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,110 enrollment.

Uh in addition to that, we had an outside 1420 00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:27,039 addition to that, we had an outside 1421 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:29,029 addition to that, we had an outside contractor offer the exact same survey 1422 00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:29,039 contractor offer the exact same survey 1423 00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:31,510 contractor offer the exact same survey to a random sample of community members 1424 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:31,520 to a random sample of community members 1425 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,830 to a random sample of community members not currently connected to the district. 1426 00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:33,840 not currently connected to the district. 1427 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,110 not currently connected to the district. So you can see here the different 1428 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:35,120 So you can see here the different 1429 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,110 So you can see here the different response rates, the numbers, the counts. 1430 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:37,120 response rates, the numbers, the counts. 1431 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:40,310 response rates, the numbers, the counts. Um we have over 6,000 collections of 1432 00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:40,320 Um we have over 6,000 collections of 1433 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,549 Um we have over 6,000 collections of data. Uh when we look at that at the 1434 00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:42,559 data. Uh when we look at that at the 1435 00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,549 data. Uh when we look at that at the actual item level, this ended up being 1436 00:26:44,549 --> 00:26:44,559 actual item level, this ended up being 1437 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,310 actual item level, this ended up being about 76,000 bytes of data. Um so quite 1438 00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:48,320 about 76,000 bytes of data. Um so quite 1439 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,149 about 76,000 bytes of data. Um so quite a lot, a mountain of things to go 1440 00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:50,159 a lot, a mountain of things to go 1441 00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:52,630 a lot, a mountain of things to go through if you can imagine. Uh so we 1442 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:52,640 through if you can imagine. Uh so we 1443 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,470 through if you can imagine. Uh so we won't go into the details of the 1444 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:54,480 won't go into the details of the 1445 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,070 won't go into the details of the methodology of how we moved through all 1446 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:56,080 methodology of how we moved through all 1447 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,870 methodology of how we moved through all this but just as um a high level uh we 1448 00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:58,880 this but just as um a high level uh we 1449 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,950 this but just as um a high level uh we did use AI to help us move through that 1450 00:27:00,950 --> 00:27:00,960 did use AI to help us move through that 1451 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,870 did use AI to help us move through that qualitative data at a fast turnaround 1452 00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:02,880 qualitative data at a fast turnaround 1453 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,029 qualitative data at a fast turnaround pace for you all.

Uh but for every one of those qualitative data sources we 1456 00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:06,720 of those qualitative data sources we 1457 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,830 of those qualitative data sources we also had a team of humans do um an audit 1458 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:09,840 also had a team of humans do um an audit 1459 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,750 also had a team of humans do um an audit on at least a subsample of that data 1460 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:11,760 on at least a subsample of that data 1461 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,430 on at least a subsample of that data just to check for accuracy and look for 1462 00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:13,440 just to check for accuracy and look for 1463 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,510 just to check for accuracy and look for nuance make sure we felt good about the 1464 00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:15,520 nuance make sure we felt good about the 1465 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,870 nuance make sure we felt good about the summaries that I'm about to share with 1466 00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:16,880 summaries that I'm about to share with 1467 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,710 summaries that I'm about to share with you all. 1468 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:20,720 1469 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,630 So to start off with our data story, I'm 1470 00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:22,640 So to start off with our data story, I'm 1471 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,070 So to start off with our data story, I'm going to outline it from our 1472 00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:24,080 going to outline it from our 1473 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,430 going to outline it from our quantitative data and we're going to 1474 00:27:25,430 --> 00:27:25,440 quantitative data and we're going to 1475 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,710 quantitative data and we're going to start with the resilient schools 1476 00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:26,720 start with the resilient schools 1477 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,190 start with the resilient schools community survey. So just as a reminder, 1478 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:29,200 community survey. So just as a reminder, 1479 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,269 community survey. So just as a reminder, that survey had three sections 1480 00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:31,279 that survey had three sections 1481 00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:33,029 that survey had three sections essentially. It started off or the 1482 00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:33,039 essentially. It started off or the 1483 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,750 essentially. It started off or the majority of the survey was uh with this 1484 00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:35,760 majority of the survey was uh with this 1485 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,070 majority of the survey was uh with this this exercise that's referred to as max 1486 00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:38,080 this exercise that's referred to as max 1487 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,630 this exercise that's referred to as max diff. Um each respondent would see a 1488 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:40,640 diff. Um each respondent would see a 1489 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,870 diff. Um each respondent would see a random sample of four priorities to 1490 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:42,880 random sample of four priorities to 1491 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,950 random sample of four priorities to think about within declining enrollment. 1492 00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:44,960 think about within declining enrollment. 1493 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,470 think about within declining enrollment. And they were asked to choose what was 1494 00:27:46,470 --> 00:27:46,480 And they were asked to choose what was 1495 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,149 And they were asked to choose what was most and least important to them out of 1496 00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:48,159 most and least important to them out of 1497 00:27:48,159 --> 00:27:51,190 most and least important to them out of that list of four. And that activity was 1498 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:51,200 that list of four. And that activity was 1499 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,669 that list of four. And that activity was repeated nine times for each respondent. 1500 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:53,679 repeated nine times for each respondent. 1501 00:27:53,679 --> 00:27:55,269 repeated nine times for each respondent. And we heard from the community that 1502 00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:55,279 And we heard from the community that 1503 00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,269 And we heard from the community that sometimes this felt frustrating and that 1504 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:57,279 sometimes this felt frustrating and that 1505 00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:58,789 sometimes this felt frustrating and that this felt really difficult. And we 1506 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:58,799 this felt really difficult. And we 1507 00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:00,630 this felt really difficult. And we wanted to just name and recognize that 1508 00:28:00,630 --> 00:28:00,640 wanted to just name and recognize that 1509 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,430 wanted to just name and recognize that that we we knew that going in. Uh we 1510 00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:03,440 that we we knew that going in. Uh we 1511 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,029 that we we knew that going in. Uh we chose the items that were on that list 1512 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:05,039 chose the items that were on that list 1513 00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:06,549 chose the items that were on that list because we heard that those were things 1514 00:28:06,549 --> 00:28:06,559 because we heard that those were things 1515 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,630 because we heard that those were things that were important to our stakeholders. 1516 00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:08,640 that were important to our stakeholders. 1517 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,029 that were important to our stakeholders. And um we wanted to have an activity 1518 00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:11,039 And um we wanted to have an activity 1519 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:12,630 And um we wanted to have an activity that would help us understand what was 1520 00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:12,640 that would help us understand what was 1521 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,470 that would help us understand what was the most important to the community. out 1522 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:14,480 the most important to the community. out 1523 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,510 the most important to the community. out of these 12 things that uh our community 1524 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:17,520 of these 12 things that uh our community 1525 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,669 of these 12 things that uh our community told us were important, did anything 1526 00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:19,679 told us were important, did anything 1527 00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:21,510 told us were important, did anything rise to the top as the most important, 1528 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:21,520 rise to the top as the most important, 1529 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,190 rise to the top as the most important, what we should be using as our north 1530 00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:23,200 what we should be using as our north 1531 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,269 what we should be using as our north star to kind of guide the decisions and 1532 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:25,279 star to kind of guide the decisions and 1533 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,669 star to kind of guide the decisions and the conversations moving forward. And we 1534 00:28:27,669 --> 00:28:27,679 the conversations moving forward. And we 1535 00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:29,430 the conversations moving forward. And we did get that from this part of the 1536 00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:29,440 did get that from this part of the 1537 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,990 did get that from this part of the survey. So what we see here are six of 1538 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:32,000 survey. So what we see here are six of 1539 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,110 survey. So what we see here are six of the 12 priorities that were uh 1540 00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:35,120 the 12 priorities that were uh 1541 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,870 the 12 priorities that were uh identified as most or least important by 1542 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:36,880 identified as most or least important by 1543 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,110 identified as most or least important by our respondents. 1544 00:28:39,110 --> 00:28:39,120 our respondents. 1545 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,029 our respondents. And these are the six that had the 1546 00:28:41,029 --> 00:28:41,039 And these are the six that had the 1547 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:43,350 And these are the six that had the highest probability of being chosen as 1548 00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:43,360 highest probability of being chosen as 1549 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,710 highest probability of being chosen as most important with small class sizes 1550 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:46,720 most important with small class sizes 1551 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,870 most important with small class sizes being uh far and above having the 1552 00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:48,880 being uh far and above having the 1553 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,470 being uh far and above having the highest probability above everything 1554 00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:50,480 highest probability above everything 1555 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,430 highest probability above everything else. So small class sizes, equitable 1556 00:28:53,430 --> 00:28:53,440 else. So small class sizes, equitable 1557 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,510 else. So small class sizes, equitable funding, neighborhood proximity, 1558 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:55,520 funding, neighborhood proximity, 1559 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,830 funding, neighborhood proximity, advanced academics, full-time art, 1560 00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:57,840 advanced academics, full-time art, 1561 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,070 advanced academics, full-time art, music, and PE at every school, and 1562 00:29:00,070 --> 00:29:00,080 music, and PE at every school, and 1563 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,149 music, and PE at every school, and full-time math and literacy specialists 1564 00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:02,159 full-time math and literacy specialists 1565 00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:03,830 full-time math and literacy specialists at every school. These were the six that 1566 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:03,840 at every school. These were the six that 1567 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,430 at every school. These were the six that had the highest probability of being 1568 00:29:05,430 --> 00:29:05,440 had the highest probability of being 1569 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,990 had the highest probability of being chosen as most important. After that 1570 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:08,000 chosen as most important. After that 1571 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,669 chosen as most important. After that activity, respondents were then given 1572 00:29:09,669 --> 00:29:09,679 activity, respondents were then given 1573 00:29:09,679 --> 00:29:12,310 activity, respondents were then given the full list of all 12 priorities and 1574 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:12,320 the full list of all 12 priorities and 1575 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,470 the full list of all 12 priorities and they had the opportunity to pick up to 1576 00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:14,480 they had the opportunity to pick up to 1577 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,710 they had the opportunity to pick up to three that they named as most important 1578 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:16,720 three that they named as most important 1579 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,590 three that they named as most important for themselves. 1580 00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:19,600 for themselves. 1581 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,909 for themselves. What we see here are the top three that 1582 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:21,919 What we see here are the top three that 1583 00:29:21,919 --> 00:29:23,669 What we see here are the top three that were chosen the most frequently by 1584 00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:23,679 were chosen the most frequently by 1585 00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:25,909 were chosen the most frequently by respondents. So, small class sizes again 1586 00:29:25,909 --> 00:29:25,919 respondents. So, small class sizes again 1587 00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:27,990 respondents. So, small class sizes again being the first uh most prominently 1588 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:28,000 being the first uh most prominently 1589 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,149 being the first uh most prominently chosen, full-time art, music, and PE 1590 00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:30,159 chosen, full-time art, music, and PE 1591 00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:31,990 chosen, full-time art, music, and PE staff at every school, and then 1592 00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:32,000 staff at every school, and then 1593 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,710 staff at every school, and then full-time math and literacy specialists. 1594 00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:34,720 full-time math and literacy specialists. 1595 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,190 full-time math and literacy specialists.

So in this activity, people were shown 1600 00:29:43,029 --> 00:29:43,039 So in this activity, people were shown 1601 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:45,110 So in this activity, people were shown priorities and they chose what was most 1602 00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:45,120 priorities and they chose what was most 1603 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,350 priorities and they chose what was most important to them. In a similar but a 1604 00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:47,360 important to them. In a similar but a 1605 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,950 important to them. In a similar but a little bit different activity at the 1606 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:48,960 little bit different activity at the 1607 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,430 little bit different activity at the community engagement sessions, uh what 1608 00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:51,440 community engagement sessions, uh what 1609 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,950 community engagement sessions, uh what happened, one of the activities that 1610 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:52,960 happened, one of the activities that 1611 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,549 happened, one of the activities that happened here is that people sat 1612 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:54,559 happened here is that people sat 1613 00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:57,269 happened here is that people sat together in tables, table groups. They 1614 00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:57,279 together in tables, table groups. They 1615 00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,190 together in tables, table groups. They shared with each other, they learned 1616 00:29:59,190 --> 00:29:59,200 shared with each other, they learned 1617 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,950 shared with each other, they learned together about the challenges that 1618 00:30:00,950 --> 00:30:00,960 together about the challenges that 1619 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,870 together about the challenges that people experience in underenrolled 1620 00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:02,880 people experience in underenrolled 1621 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,990 people experience in underenrolled schools. And that activity uh was a 1622 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:06,000 schools. And that activity uh was a 1623 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,590 schools. And that activity uh was a chance for people to talk about these 1624 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:07,600 chance for people to talk about these 1625 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,110 chance for people to talk about these different challenges that occur in 1626 00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:09,120 different challenges that occur in 1627 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,110 different challenges that occur in underenrolled schools. And they worked 1628 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:11,120 underenrolled schools. And they worked 1629 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,590 underenrolled schools. And they worked collaboratively to identify the 1630 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:13,600 collaboratively to identify the 1631 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,590 collaboratively to identify the challenges that they thought most needed 1632 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:15,600 challenges that they thought most needed 1633 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,710 challenges that they thought most needed to be addressed moving forward. So kind 1634 00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:18,720 to be addressed moving forward. So kind 1635 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,950 to be addressed moving forward. So kind of the same idea but from the other 1636 00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:20,960 of the same idea but from the other 1637 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,789 of the same idea but from the other other side of of the challenges that 1638 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:22,799 other side of of the challenges that 1639 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:24,950 other side of of the challenges that we're facing here. So here the what we 1640 00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:24,960 we're facing here. So here the what we 1641 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,630 we're facing here. So here the what we see here are the five cards that were 1642 00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:26,640 see here are the five cards that were 1643 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,630 see here are the five cards that were chosen most frequently. These five were 1644 00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:28,640 chosen most frequently. These five were 1645 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,710 chosen most frequently. These five were chosen by more than half of the tables 1646 00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:30,720 chosen by more than half of the tables 1647 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,070 chosen by more than half of the tables across the community engagement 1648 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:32,080 across the community engagement 1649 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,470 across the community engagement sessions. Everything else was chosen 1650 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:34,480 sessions. Everything else was chosen 1651 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,789 sessions. Everything else was chosen less than half of the time. So here we 1652 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:36,799 less than half of the time. So here we 1653 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:38,710 less than half of the time. So here we see limited small groupoup support, 1654 00:30:38,710 --> 00:30:38,720 see limited small groupoup support, 1655 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,029 see limited small groupoup support, multi-grade classrooms, limited access 1656 00:30:41,029 --> 00:30:41,039 multi-grade classrooms, limited access 1657 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,510 multi-grade classrooms, limited access to specials, part-time counselors, and 1658 00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:43,520 to specials, part-time counselors, and 1659 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,230 to specials, part-time counselors, and part-time instructional support. Now, 1660 00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:46,240 part-time instructional support. Now, 1661 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,070 part-time instructional support. Now, you remember I I mentioned we have these 1662 00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:48,080 you remember I I mentioned we have these 1663 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,310 you remember I I mentioned we have these three buckets of data. These two uh are 1664 00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:50,320 three buckets of data. These two uh are 1665 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,750 three buckets of data. These two uh are our quantitative data, and we're going 1666 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:51,760 our quantitative data, and we're going 1667 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,029 our quantitative data, and we're going to kind of squint a little bit and 1668 00:30:53,029 --> 00:30:53,039 to kind of squint a little bit and 1669 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:54,950 to kind of squint a little bit and pretend that this qualitative data is 1670 00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:54,960 pretend that this qualitative data is 1671 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,389 pretend that this qualitative data is quantitative data so I can tell a 1672 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:56,399 quantitative data so I can tell a 1673 00:30:56,399 --> 00:30:58,870 quantitative data so I can tell a coherent story here. Uh at our round 1674 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:58,880 coherent story here. Uh at our round 1675 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,149 coherent story here. Uh at our round tables, there were 30 of them. At almost 1676 00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:02,159 tables, there were 30 of them. At almost 1677 00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,230 tables, there were 30 of them. At almost every round table, 90% of them, this 1678 00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:04,240 every round table, 90% of them, this 1679 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,230 every round table, 90% of them, this idea of small class sizes came up in the 1680 00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:06,240 idea of small class sizes came up in the 1681 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,710 idea of small class sizes came up in the conversation. And also at over half of 1682 00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:08,720 conversation. And also at over half of 1683 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,630 conversation. And also at over half of the round tables, the challenges of 1684 00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:10,640 the round tables, the challenges of 1685 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,310 the round tables, the challenges of part-time staff came up in the 1686 00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:12,320 part-time staff came up in the 1687 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,350 part-time staff came up in the conversation.

So, we're going to talk through these same themes that we just saw, 1926 00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:47,440 these same themes that we just saw, 1927 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,430 these same themes that we just saw, class size and instructional complexity, 1928 00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:49,440 class size and instructional complexity, 1929 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,589 class size and instructional complexity, comprehensive full-time staff, talking 1930 00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:51,599 comprehensive full-time staff, talking 1931 00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:53,430 comprehensive full-time staff, talking about that both in the context of 1932 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:53,440 about that both in the context of 1933 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,750 about that both in the context of special education as well as whole child 1934 00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:55,760 special education as well as whole child 1935 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,829 special education as well as whole child support and staffing stability. And then 1936 00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:57,839 support and staffing stability. And then 1937 00:35:57,839 --> 00:35:59,829 support and staffing stability. And then equitable funding and walkability in 1938 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:59,839 equitable funding and walkability in 1939 00:35:59,839 --> 00:36:01,589 equitable funding and walkability in neighborhood schools. And you'll see 1940 00:36:01,589 --> 00:36:01,599 neighborhood schools. And you'll see 1941 00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,589 neighborhood schools. And you'll see number five here, varied school models. 1942 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:03,599 number five here, varied school models. 1943 00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:04,710 number five here, varied school models. We didn't talk about that in the 1944 00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:04,720 We didn't talk about that in the 1945 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,310 We didn't talk about that in the quantitative data because it didn't come 1946 00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:06,320 quantitative data because it didn't come 1947 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,470 quantitative data because it didn't come up in the quantitative data. Uh but it 1948 00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:08,480 up in the quantitative data. Uh but it 1949 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,069 up in the quantitative data. Uh but it came up as a strong enough theme through 1950 00:36:10,069 --> 00:36:10,079 came up as a strong enough theme through 1951 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:11,589 came up as a strong enough theme through the qualitative that we felt it was 1952 00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:11,599 the qualitative that we felt it was 1953 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,069 the qualitative that we felt it was important to name it. Um, and in our 1954 00:36:14,069 --> 00:36:14,079 important to name it. Um, and in our 1955 00:36:14,079 --> 00:36:17,030 important to name it. Um, and in our story outline as well as we kind of 1956 00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:17,040 story outline as well as we kind of 1957 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,790 story outline as well as we kind of pivot to the qualitative data, I'll do 1958 00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:18,800 pivot to the qualitative data, I'll do 1959 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,870 pivot to the qualitative data, I'll do my best to give you some sort of 1960 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:20,880 my best to give you some sort of 1961 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,750 my best to give you some sort of quantification of how uh prevalent a 1962 00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:23,760 quantification of how uh prevalent a 1963 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,910 quantification of how uh prevalent a theme was or how much something came up 1964 00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:25,920 theme was or how much something came up 1965 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,790 theme was or how much something came up through that data. Um, as well as uh 1966 00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:28,800 through that data. Um, as well as uh 1967 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,150 through that data. Um, as well as uh wanting to make sure that you're hearing 1968 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:30,160 wanting to make sure that you're hearing 1969 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,990 wanting to make sure that you're hearing some quotes from across the data 1970 00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:32,000 some quotes from across the data 1971 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,069 some quotes from across the data sources, knowing that all of these 1972 00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:34,079 sources, knowing that all of these 1973 00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,109 sources, knowing that all of these themes were presented from across the 1974 00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:37,119 themes were presented from across the 1975 00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:38,630 themes were presented from across the spectrum of stakeholders. So none of 1976 00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:38,640 spectrum of stakeholders. So none of 1977 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,150 spectrum of stakeholders. So none of these themes are here because only 1978 00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:40,160 these themes are here because only 1979 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,069 these themes are here because only families brought it up or because only 1980 00:36:42,069 --> 00:36:42,079 families brought it up or because only 1981 00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:43,510 families brought it up or because only staff brought it up. All of these themes 1982 00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:43,520 staff brought it up. All of these themes 1983 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,510 staff brought it up. All of these themes are up here because across the data we 1984 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:45,520 are up here because across the data we 1985 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,510 are up here because across the data we saw this being important to people in 1986 00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:47,520 saw this being important to people in 1987 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,710 saw this being important to people in our community. Dr. Heline, can you 1988 00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:50,720 our community. Dr. Heline, can you 1989 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:53,430 our community. Dr. Heline, can you remind us this qualitative data is 1990 00:36:53,430 --> 00:36:53,440 remind us this qualitative data is 1991 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,430 remind us this qualitative data is coming primarily from the roundts in the 1992 00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:55,440 coming primarily from the roundts in the 1993 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,790 coming primarily from the roundts in the community engagement sessions. Correct. 1994 00:36:56,790 --> 00:36:56,800 community engagement sessions. Correct. 1995 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,990 community engagement sessions. Correct. Because the survey didn't ask 1996 00:36:59,990 --> 00:37:00,000 Because the survey didn't ask 1997 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,430 Because the survey didn't ask questions that would require open-ended 1998 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:03,440 questions that would require open-ended 1999 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,630 questions that would require open-ended feedback, right? That was more of a 2000 00:37:04,630 --> 00:37:04,640 feedback, right? That was more of a 2001 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,470 feedback, right? That was more of a forced ranking. The third part of the 2002 00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:06,480 forced ranking. The third part of the 2003 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,829 forced ranking. The third part of the survey that I forgot to mention earlier 2004 00:37:07,829 --> 00:37:07,839 survey that I forgot to mention earlier 2005 00:37:07,839 --> 00:37:09,670 survey that I forgot to mention earlier was that there was one open-ended survey 2006 00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:09,680 was that there was one open-ended survey 2007 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,750 was that there was one open-ended survey item and so a lot of the data is going 2008 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:11,760 item and so a lot of the data is going 2009 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:12,550 item and so a lot of the data is going to come from that too. 2010 00:37:12,550 --> 00:37:12,560 to come from that too. 2011 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,230 to come from that too. >> So all the qualitative data is from 2012 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:14,240 >> So all the qualitative data is from 2013 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,750 >> So all the qualitative data is from three those three big buckets of 2014 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:15,760 three those three big buckets of 2015 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,870 three those three big buckets of information. Great. Thank you. 2016 00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:16,880 information. Great. Thank you. 2017 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,910 information. Great. Thank you. >> Uhhuh. 2018 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:19,920 2019 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,230 >> Okay. So first this idea of class size. 2020 00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:22,240 >> Okay. So first this idea of class size. 2021 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,470 >> Okay. So first this idea of class size. As we've already seen this is a top 2022 00:37:24,470 --> 00:37:24,480 As we've already seen this is a top 2023 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,710 As we've already seen this is a top priority um across the stakeholder 2024 00:37:26,710 --> 00:37:26,720 priority um across the stakeholder 2025 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,630 priority um across the stakeholder groups. This was the single most 2026 00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:28,640 groups. This was the single most 2027 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,230 groups. This was the single most prevalent theme in the open-ended 2028 00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:30,240 prevalent theme in the open-ended 2029 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:31,910 prevalent theme in the open-ended responses on the survey. It appeared in 2030 00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:31,920 responses on the survey. It appeared in 2031 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,910 responses on the survey. It appeared in hundreds of responses across staff and 2032 00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:33,920 hundreds of responses across staff and 2033 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,069 hundreds of responses across staff and families. It was present in nearly every 2034 00:37:36,069 --> 00:37:36,079 families. It was present in nearly every 2035 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,950 families. It was present in nearly every roundt conversation. Uh an example from 2036 00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:38,960 roundt conversation. Uh an example from 2037 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,670 roundt conversation. Uh an example from the staff survey is quote large class 2038 00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:41,680 the staff survey is quote large class 2039 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,550 the staff survey is quote large class sizes are by far our biggest concern. 2040 00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:44,560 sizes are by far our biggest concern. 2041 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,069 sizes are by far our biggest concern. However, something that came up that's 2042 00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:46,079 However, something that came up that's 2043 00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:47,430 However, something that came up that's really important to think alongside of 2044 00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:47,440 really important to think alongside of 2045 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,510 really important to think alongside of this is it's not just numbers. There's a 2046 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:49,520 this is it's not just numbers. There's a 2047 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,910 this is it's not just numbers. There's a call to redefine the idea of capacity. 2048 00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:51,920 call to redefine the idea of capacity. 2049 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,990 call to redefine the idea of capacity. That class size isn't just the number of 2050 00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:54,000 That class size isn't just the number of 2051 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,430 That class size isn't just the number of desks in the room, but it's also 2052 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:55,440 desks in the room, but it's also 2053 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,829 desks in the room, but it's also thinking about the complexity of the 2054 00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:57,839 thinking about the complexity of the 2055 00:37:57,839 --> 00:38:00,230 thinking about the complexity of the people in that room. So staff across the 2056 00:38:00,230 --> 00:38:00,240 people in that room. So staff across the 2057 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,390 people in that room. So staff across the roundts argued that post-pandemic 2058 00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:02,400 roundts argued that post-pandemic 2059 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,630 roundts argued that post-pandemic behaviors, neurodiversity, social 2060 00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:04,640 behaviors, neurodiversity, social 2061 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,109 behaviors, neurodiversity, social emotional support, and language needs u 2062 00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:07,119 emotional support, and language needs u 2063 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,030 emotional support, and language needs u make a class of 25 feel like a class of 2064 00:38:09,030 --> 00:38:09,040 make a class of 25 feel like a class of 2065 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,109 make a class of 25 feel like a class of 40. So a quote from a creekide teacher 2066 00:38:11,109 --> 00:38:11,119 40. So a quote from a creekide teacher 2067 00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:13,190 40. So a quote from a creekide teacher at the round table, class size and 2068 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:13,200 at the round table, class size and 2069 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,190 at the round table, class size and classroom capacity are not the same 2070 00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:15,200 classroom capacity are not the same 2071 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,589 classroom capacity are not the same thing. 30 independent kids is very 2072 00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:17,599 thing. 30 independent kids is very 2073 00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:19,190 thing. 30 independent kids is very different than 30 kids with multiple 2074 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:19,200 different than 30 kids with multiple 2075 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,349 different than 30 kids with multiple IEPs, behavior plans, and needs for 2076 00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:21,359 IEPs, behavior plans, and needs for 2077 00:38:21,359 --> 00:38:23,270 IEPs, behavior plans, and needs for support. 2078 00:38:23,270 --> 00:38:23,280 support. 2079 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,710 support. >> Next, can I ask a question um about 2080 00:38:26,710 --> 00:38:26,720 >> Next, can I ask a question um about 2081 00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,030 >> Next, can I ask a question um about class size? having attended the roundts 2082 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:29,040 class size? having attended the roundts 2083 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,950 class size? having attended the roundts and the community engagement sessions, 2084 00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:30,960 and the community engagement sessions, 2085 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,829 and the community engagement sessions, class size was never def small class 2086 00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:33,839 class size was never def small class 2087 00:38:33,839 --> 00:38:36,310 class size was never def small class size I don't recall ever being defined 2088 00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:36,320 size I don't recall ever being defined 2089 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,670 size I don't recall ever being defined and I wonder if we can speak to um how 2090 00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:39,680 and I wonder if we can speak to um how 2091 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,750 and I wonder if we can speak to um how how staff and how the board and how the 2092 00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:41,760 how staff and how the board and how the 2093 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,550 how staff and how the board and how the community might want to think about what 2094 00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:44,560 community might want to think about what 2095 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,750 community might want to think about what what that small class sizes or a smaller 2096 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:47,760 what that small class sizes or a smaller 2097 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,950 what that small class sizes or a smaller class size means um or might potentially 2098 00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:50,960 class size means um or might potentially 2099 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,190 class size means um or might potentially mean moving forward given the 2100 00:38:53,190 --> 00:38:53,200 mean moving forward given the 2101 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,109 mean moving forward given the redefinition of capacity and also 2102 00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:55,119 redefinition of capacity and also 2103 00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:56,950 redefinition of capacity and also because it was never defined at the 2104 00:38:56,950 --> 00:38:56,960 because it was never defined at the 2105 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,870 because it was never defined at the outset. that. So people might have very 2106 00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:58,880 outset. that. So people might have very 2107 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,790 outset. that. So people might have very different ideas of what that means for 2108 00:39:00,790 --> 00:39:00,800 different ideas of what that means for 2109 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,950 different ideas of what that means for them. 2110 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:02,960 them. 2111 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,990 them. I would say uh my interpretation um 2112 00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:06,000 I would say uh my interpretation um 2113 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,829 I would say uh my interpretation um having been to most of the roundts and 2114 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:07,839 having been to most of the roundts and 2115 00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:10,310 having been to most of the roundts and all of the sessions uh yes we didn't say 2116 00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:10,320 all of the sessions uh yes we didn't say 2117 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,109 all of the sessions uh yes we didn't say small class size is x number of students 2118 00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:13,119 small class size is x number of students 2119 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,030 small class size is x number of students I do feel like though that there is 2120 00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:15,040 I do feel like though that there is 2121 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,270 I do feel like though that there is pretty broad consensus that the 2122 00:39:17,270 --> 00:39:17,280 pretty broad consensus that the 2123 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,990 pretty broad consensus that the thresholds that we have now are too high 2124 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:20,000 thresholds that we have now are too high 2125 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,990 thresholds that we have now are too high and so to the extent that that that 2126 00:39:21,990 --> 00:39:22,000 and so to the extent that that that 2127 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,829 and so to the extent that that that would be the starting place and trying 2128 00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:23,839 would be the starting place and trying 2129 00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:26,630 would be the starting place and trying to reduce those thresholds is how I 2130 00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:26,640 to reduce those thresholds is how I 2131 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,270 to reduce those thresholds is how I would interpret um what it is that folks 2132 00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:29,280 would interpret um what it is that folks 2133 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,390 would interpret um what it is that folks have said and and I don't know that 2134 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:30,400 have said and and I don't know that 2135 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,310 have said and and I don't know that there's a 2136 00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:32,320 there's a 2137 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,030 there's a um standard or benchmark on what a small 2138 00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:35,040 um standard or benchmark on what a small 2139 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,190 um standard or benchmark on what a small class size for a public school district 2140 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:37,200 class size for a public school district 2141 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,349 class size for a public school district is. Um and so I think that that the way 2142 00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:41,359 is. Um and so I think that that the way 2143 00:39:41,359 --> 00:39:43,030 is. Um and so I think that that the way that I'm interpreting this after hearing 2144 00:39:43,030 --> 00:39:43,040 that I'm interpreting this after hearing 2145 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,150 that I'm interpreting this after hearing this is that uh it is smaller than where 2146 00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:46,160 this is that uh it is smaller than where 2147 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,069 this is that uh it is smaller than where we are today and it's a a combination of 2148 00:39:50,069 --> 00:39:50,079 we are today and it's a a combination of 2149 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:53,670 we are today and it's a a combination of number of kids plus their needs is the 2150 00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:53,680 number of kids plus their needs is the 2151 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,910 number of kids plus their needs is the thing to really be thinking about. Uh 2152 00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:55,920 thing to really be thinking about. Uh 2153 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,750 thing to really be thinking about. Uh and to the to the quote from the teacher 2154 00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:57,760 and to the to the quote from the teacher 2155 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,069 and to the to the quote from the teacher at Creekide and as a reminder board, 2156 00:40:00,069 --> 00:40:00,079 at Creekide and as a reminder board, 2157 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:02,870 at Creekide and as a reminder board, we've we've done some work in this area 2158 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:02,880 we've we've done some work in this area 2159 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,150 we've we've done some work in this area before where we've allotted extra 2160 00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:06,160 before where we've allotted extra 2161 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,349 before where we've allotted extra resources post pandemic to bring down 2162 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:09,359 resources post pandemic to bring down 2163 00:40:09,359 --> 00:40:12,230 resources post pandemic to bring down class sizes based on number and need. 2164 00:40:12,230 --> 00:40:12,240 class sizes based on number and need. 2165 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,470 class sizes based on number and need. And so I think that really resonated at 2166 00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:14,480 And so I think that really resonated at 2167 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,910 And so I think that really resonated at that point in time and I think the 2168 00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:15,920 that point in time and I think the 2169 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,069 that point in time and I think the teacher um teachers were referencing 2170 00:40:18,069 --> 00:40:18,079 teacher um teachers were referencing 2171 00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,270 teacher um teachers were referencing that as we were going through our 2172 00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:19,280 that as we were going through our 2173 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,150 that as we were going through our roundts. And so uh but not a not not a 2174 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:22,160 roundts. And so uh but not a not not a 2175 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,990 roundts. And so uh but not a not not a hard number. We didn't say small class 2176 00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:24,000 hard number. We didn't say small class 2177 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,150 hard number. We didn't say small class sizes equals X, but I do think that 2178 00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:26,160 sizes equals X, but I do think that 2179 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,670 sizes equals X, but I do think that people are responding to the thresholds 2180 00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:27,680 people are responding to the thresholds 2181 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,150 people are responding to the thresholds that we have right now. 2182 00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:30,160 that we have right now. 2183 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,150 that we have right now. >> Yeah. And like how it feels to be in 2184 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:32,160 >> Yeah. And like how it feels to be in 2185 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,910 >> Yeah. And like how it feels to be in classrooms and different complexities of 2186 00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:33,920 classrooms and different complexities of 2187 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,630 classrooms and different complexities of needs. Uh I just wanted to emphas 2188 00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:36,640 needs. Uh I just wanted to emphas 2189 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,870 needs. Uh I just wanted to emphas elevate that because as with declining 2190 00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:38,880 elevate that because as with declining 2191 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,390 elevate that because as with declining enrollment, we've seen really wonky 2192 00:40:40,390 --> 00:40:40,400 enrollment, we've seen really wonky 2193 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,470 enrollment, we've seen really wonky shifts in class sizes. Some class sizes 2194 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:42,480 shifts in class sizes. Some class sizes 2195 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,470 shifts in class sizes. Some class sizes are pushing upper thresholds. Some class 2196 00:40:44,470 --> 00:40:44,480 are pushing upper thresholds. Some class 2197 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,510 are pushing upper thresholds. Some class sizes happen to actually be small. So 2198 00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:47,520 sizes happen to actually be small. So 2199 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,510 sizes happen to actually be small. So class like 2200 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:49,520 class like 2201 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,109 class like we'll get hopefully we will eventually 2202 00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:51,119 we'll get hopefully we will eventually 2203 00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:52,470 we'll get hopefully we will eventually get to somewhere that feels smaller than 2204 00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:52,480 get to somewhere that feels smaller than 2205 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,150 get to somewhere that feels smaller than our thresholds defined that we have 2206 00:40:54,150 --> 00:40:54,160 our thresholds defined that we have 2207 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,390 our thresholds defined that we have defined but it might shake out 2208 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:56,400 defined but it might shake out 2209 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,829 defined but it might shake out differently depending on the school and 2210 00:40:57,829 --> 00:40:57,839 differently depending on the school and 2211 00:40:57,839 --> 00:40:59,589 differently depending on the school and the grade and the like the present 2212 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:59,599 the grade and the like the present 2213 00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:01,510 the grade and the like the present experience 2214 00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:01,520 experience 2215 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,390 experience after we come work through closures and 2216 00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:04,400 after we come work through closures and 2217 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,870 after we come work through closures and consolidations. So, um, thank you for 2218 00:41:06,870 --> 00:41:06,880 consolidations. So, um, thank you for 2219 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,390 consolidations. So, um, thank you for elevating that. And I know a long time 2220 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:08,400 elevating that. And I know a long time 2221 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,150 elevating that. And I know a long time ago when the district accountability 2222 00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:10,160 ago when the district accountability 2223 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,910 ago when the district accountability committee used to bring this up as a top 2224 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:11,920 committee used to bring this up as a top 2225 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,829 committee used to bring this up as a top priority, we were able to easily like 2226 00:41:13,829 --> 00:41:13,839 priority, we were able to easily like 2227 00:41:13,839 --> 00:41:15,349 priority, we were able to easily like Bill had this magic number. He'd say, 2228 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:15,359 Bill had this magic number. He'd say, 2229 00:41:15,359 --> 00:41:17,510 Bill had this magic number. He'd say, well, to decrease the class by one 2230 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:17,520 well, to decrease the class by one 2231 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,750 well, to decrease the class by one person, it was x amount of dollars back 2232 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:19,760 person, it was x amount of dollars back 2233 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,589 person, it was x amount of dollars back in the day. And I know that those 2234 00:41:21,589 --> 00:41:21,599 in the day. And I know that those 2235 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,670 in the day. And I know that those numbers change depending on all kinds of 2236 00:41:23,670 --> 00:41:23,680 numbers change depending on all kinds of 2237 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,589 numbers change depending on all kinds of things. Uh, but it um, inevitably as we 2238 00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:27,599 things. Uh, but it um, inevitably as we 2239 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:29,750 things. Uh, but it um, inevitably as we continue to work through this, that will 2240 00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:29,760 continue to work through this, that will 2241 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,990 continue to work through this, that will come into play at some point as well. 2242 00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:32,000 come into play at some point as well. 2243 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,630 come into play at some point as well. Alex and then did I see 2244 00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:34,640 Alex and then did I see 2245 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:35,109 Alex and then did I see Alex? 2246 00:41:35,109 --> 00:41:35,119 Alex? 2247 00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,910 Alex? >> Yeah, I wanted to follow up on that too 2248 00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:37,920 >> Yeah, I wanted to follow up on that too 2249 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,190 >> Yeah, I wanted to follow up on that too because uh in particular I heard this in 2250 00:41:41,190 --> 00:41:41,200 because uh in particular I heard this in 2251 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,750 because uh in particular I heard this in the classroom or in the school roundts 2252 00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:43,760 the classroom or in the school roundts 2253 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,430 the classroom or in the school roundts was an understanding of the volatility 2254 00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:45,440 was an understanding of the volatility 2255 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,750 was an understanding of the volatility in the class size being hard for the 2256 00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:47,760 in the class size being hard for the 2257 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,230 in the class size being hard for the schools that go up and down. And then to 2258 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:50,240 schools that go up and down. And then to 2259 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,710 schools that go up and down. And then to our concern about equitable funding, the 2260 00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:52,720 our concern about equitable funding, the 2261 00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:54,309 our concern about equitable funding, the idea that the small school that only has 2262 00:41:54,309 --> 00:41:54,319 idea that the small school that only has 2263 00:41:54,319 --> 00:41:57,510 idea that the small school that only has one classroom of 30 of 29 kids gets two 2264 00:41:57,510 --> 00:41:57,520 one classroom of 30 of 29 kids gets two 2265 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,589 one classroom of 30 of 29 kids gets two more and suddenly they have two 16s 2266 00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:59,599 more and suddenly they have two 16s 2267 00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:01,589 more and suddenly they have two 16s feels like we've just invested another 2268 00:42:01,589 --> 00:42:01,599 feels like we've just invested another 2269 00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:03,190 feels like we've just invested another full salary into the school that didn't 2270 00:42:03,190 --> 00:42:03,200 full salary into the school that didn't 2271 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,470 full salary into the school that didn't have it. Whereas a school that was 2272 00:42:04,470 --> 00:42:04,480 have it. Whereas a school that was 2273 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,150 have it. Whereas a school that was always at 29 and had three rounds of 29 2274 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:08,160 always at 29 and had three rounds of 29 2275 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,750 always at 29 and had three rounds of 29 uh got four more kids and didn't get 2276 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:09,760 uh got four more kids and didn't get 2277 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,349 uh got four more kids and didn't get another dime. So the two kids in an 2278 00:42:13,349 --> 00:42:13,359 another dime. So the two kids in an 2279 00:42:13,359 --> 00:42:15,190 another dime. So the two kids in an underenrolled school are hugely 2280 00:42:15,190 --> 00:42:15,200 underenrolled school are hugely 2281 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,710 underenrolled school are hugely impactful financially and get more 2282 00:42:16,710 --> 00:42:16,720 impactful financially and get more 2283 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,950 impactful financially and get more investment. two kids in a very impacted 2284 00:42:18,950 --> 00:42:18,960 investment. two kids in a very impacted 2285 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,790 investment. two kids in a very impacted school with lots of poverty but high and 2286 00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:20,800 school with lots of poverty but high and 2287 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,109 school with lots of poverty but high and three classrooms don't lead to any more 2288 00:42:23,109 --> 00:42:23,119 three classrooms don't lead to any more 2289 00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,030 three classrooms don't lead to any more resources. And so that was an equity 2290 00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:25,040 resources. And so that was an equity 2291 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,990 resources. And so that was an equity implication uh that both sides uh the 2292 00:42:27,990 --> 00:42:28,000 implication uh that both sides uh the 2293 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,069 implication uh that both sides uh the people that didn't get the 16s were 2294 00:42:30,069 --> 00:42:30,079 people that didn't get the 16s were 2295 00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:31,829 people that didn't get the 16s were frustrated and the people that were 2296 00:42:31,829 --> 00:42:31,839 frustrated and the people that were 2297 00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:33,349 frustrated and the people that were dealing with the volatility of last 2298 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:33,359 dealing with the volatility of last 2299 00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:35,109 dealing with the volatility of last minute hires were like hey these people 2300 00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:35,119 minute hires were like hey these people 2301 00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:36,630 minute hires were like hey these people are in for a year we can't guarantee 2302 00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:36,640 are in for a year we can't guarantee 2303 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,069 are in for a year we can't guarantee them a job the next year when it goes 2304 00:42:38,069 --> 00:42:38,079 them a job the next year when it goes 2305 00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:39,990 them a job the next year when it goes back down and it's all bad and they 2306 00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:40,000 back down and it's all bad and they 2307 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,510 back down and it's all bad and they haven't had a chance to be incorporated 2308 00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:41,520 haven't had a chance to be incorporated 2309 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,750 haven't had a chance to be incorporated into the culture. So I think class size 2310 00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:43,760 into the culture. So I think class size 2311 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,510 into the culture. So I think class size is one of those things like yeah 2312 00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:45,520 is one of those things like yeah 2313 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,829 is one of those things like yeah unaffordable to actually in bulk bring 2314 00:42:47,829 --> 00:42:47,839 unaffordable to actually in bulk bring 2315 00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:50,230 unaffordable to actually in bulk bring it down and the changes will lead to 2316 00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:50,240 it down and the changes will lead to 2317 00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:52,150 it down and the changes will lead to more consistency and more rationality 2318 00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:52,160 more consistency and more rationality 2319 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,750 more consistency and more rationality and more equity but not a rapid big 2320 00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:55,760 and more equity but not a rapid big 2321 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,910 and more equity but not a rapid big reduction in our class sizes without us 2322 00:42:57,910 --> 00:42:57,920 reduction in our class sizes without us 2323 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,589 reduction in our class sizes without us finding another half billion dollars or 2324 00:42:59,589 --> 00:42:59,599 finding another half billion dollars or 2325 00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:03,030 finding another half billion dollars or something. 2326 00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:03,040 2327 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,309 >> Deian, 2328 00:43:04,309 --> 00:43:04,319 >> Deian, 2329 00:43:04,319 --> 00:43:07,750 >> Deian, >> I would uh back up Alex's um observation 2330 00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:07,760 >> I would uh back up Alex's um observation 2331 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,990 >> I would uh back up Alex's um observation on that. A lot of the tables that I 2332 00:43:09,990 --> 00:43:10,000 on that. A lot of the tables that I 2333 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,829 on that. A lot of the tables that I listened to, they were very concerned 2334 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:11,839 listened to, they were very concerned 2335 00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:14,150 listened to, they were very concerned about there was one class of third 2336 00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:14,160 about there was one class of third 2337 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,190 about there was one class of third graders that had 13 kids and another one 2338 00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:17,200 graders that had 13 kids and another one 2339 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,750 graders that had 13 kids and another one that had 28. And so they were it was 2340 00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:19,760 that had 28. And so they were it was 2341 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,550 that had 28. And so they were it was about relative smallalness like 2342 00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:22,560 about relative smallalness like 2343 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,589 about relative smallalness like shouldn't we have the equal number um to 2344 00:43:25,589 --> 00:43:25,599 shouldn't we have the equal number um to 2345 00:43:25,599 --> 00:43:27,829 shouldn't we have the equal number um to each other. So I don't think that it was 2346 00:43:27,829 --> 00:43:27,839 each other. So I don't think that it was 2347 00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:30,309 each other. So I don't think that it was really saying they wanted extra small 2348 00:43:30,309 --> 00:43:30,319 really saying they wanted extra small 2349 00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:32,950 really saying they wanted extra small classes. Of course they probably do, but 2350 00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:32,960 classes. Of course they probably do, but 2351 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,349 classes. Of course they probably do, but um it was about the equity issue for 2352 00:43:35,349 --> 00:43:35,359 um it was about the equity issue for 2353 00:43:35,359 --> 00:43:37,270 um it was about the equity issue for sure. 2354 00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:37,280 sure. 2355 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,589 sure. And and just to to to wrap this up so 2356 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:39,599 And and just to to to wrap this up so 2357 00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:41,910 And and just to to to wrap this up so Dr. Aine can continue, you know, the 2358 00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:41,920 Dr. Aine can continue, you know, the 2359 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,150 Dr. Aine can continue, you know, the more school sites that you have, the 2360 00:43:44,150 --> 00:43:44,160 more school sites that you have, the 2361 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,910 more school sites that you have, the more volatile class sizes are going to 2362 00:43:45,910 --> 00:43:45,920 more volatile class sizes are going to 2363 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,550 more volatile class sizes are going to be, right? You know, the more rounds you 2364 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:48,560 be, right? You know, the more rounds you 2365 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,109 be, right? You know, the more rounds you have in a school, the easier it is to 2366 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:51,119 have in a school, the easier it is to 2367 00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:53,270 have in a school, the easier it is to balance those those numbers out in ways 2368 00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:53,280 balance those those numbers out in ways 2369 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,230 balance those those numbers out in ways where you don't have two 13s or one, you 2370 00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:56,240 where you don't have two 13s or one, you 2371 00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:00,550 where you don't have two 13s or one, you know, two 15s or 130. Uh you can spread 2372 00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:00,560 know, two 15s or 130. Uh you can spread 2373 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:09,349 know, two 15s or 130. Uh you can spread that out over over uh multiple classes. 2374 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:09,359 2375 00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:11,190 Okay. Uh next we have the idea of 2376 00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:11,200 Okay. Uh next we have the idea of 2377 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,990 Okay. Uh next we have the idea of comprehensive full-time staff and uh 2378 00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:14,000 comprehensive full-time staff and uh 2379 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,309 comprehensive full-time staff and uh first talking about this in the uh 2380 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:16,319 first talking about this in the uh 2381 00:44:16,319 --> 00:44:19,030 first talking about this in the uh context of special education. So, um, 2382 00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:19,040 context of special education. So, um, 2383 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,349 context of special education. So, um, cuts to sped programming, unmanageable 2384 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:21,359 cuts to sped programming, unmanageable 2385 00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:23,910 cuts to sped programming, unmanageable case loads, and similar comments were 2386 00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:23,920 case loads, and similar comments were 2387 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,150 case loads, and similar comments were explicitly mentioned in over 200 of the 2388 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:26,160 explicitly mentioned in over 200 of the 2389 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,550 explicitly mentioned in over 200 of the open-ended survey items. Um, which was 2390 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:28,560 open-ended survey items. Um, which was 2391 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,470 open-ended survey items. Um, which was about 5% of the sample. And then in 2392 00:44:30,470 --> 00:44:30,480 about 5% of the sample. And then in 2393 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,470 about 5% of the sample. And then in about 10% of the community engagement 2394 00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:32,480 about 10% of the community engagement 2395 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,270 about 10% of the community engagement packets, this idea came up as well. U, 2396 00:44:35,270 --> 00:44:35,280 packets, this idea came up as well. U, 2397 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,349 packets, this idea came up as well. U, this idea being that um, sustainable 2398 00:44:37,349 --> 00:44:37,359 this idea being that um, sustainable 2399 00:44:37,359 --> 00:44:39,349 this idea being that um, sustainable case loads are are a priority, that 2400 00:44:39,349 --> 00:44:39,359 case loads are are a priority, that 2401 00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:41,109 case loads are are a priority, that staff needs to be moved from stretched 2402 00:44:41,109 --> 00:44:41,119 staff needs to be moved from stretched 2403 00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:43,430 staff needs to be moved from stretched thin to fully supported. So, a quote 2404 00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:43,440 thin to fully supported. So, a quote 2405 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,750 thin to fully supported. So, a quote from the survey staff. So many more 2406 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:45,760 from the survey staff. So many more 2407 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,230 from the survey staff. So many more students are coming to BBSD with IEPs. 2408 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:48,240 students are coming to BBSD with IEPs. 2409 00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:49,990 students are coming to BBSD with IEPs. Our sped programs are sometimes 2410 00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:50,000 Our sped programs are sometimes 2411 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,550 Our sped programs are sometimes stretched thin and have high case loads. 2412 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:52,560 stretched thin and have high case loads. 2413 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,710 stretched thin and have high case loads. We need additional resources so that all 2414 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:54,720 We need additional resources so that all 2415 00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:56,790 We need additional resources so that all case managers have the staff and 2416 00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:56,800 case managers have the staff and 2417 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,470 case managers have the staff and resources to meet the needs of the 2418 00:44:58,470 --> 00:44:58,480 resources to meet the needs of the 2419 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,630 resources to meet the needs of the students and their schools.

Uh so it's this idea that 2464 00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:51,599 librarians. Uh so it's this idea that 2465 00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:54,069 librarians. Uh so it's this idea that teachers need a consistent daily support 2466 00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:54,079 teachers need a consistent daily support 2467 00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:56,950 teachers need a consistent daily support team to meet increasing student needs 2468 00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:56,960 team to meet increasing student needs 2469 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,790 team to meet increasing student needs and that uh relying on shared or 2470 00:45:58,790 --> 00:45:58,800 and that uh relying on shared or 2471 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,309 and that uh relying on shared or part-time roles compromises the 2472 00:46:00,309 --> 00:46:00,319 part-time roles compromises the 2473 00:46:00,319 --> 00:46:02,790 part-time roles compromises the continuity of the student experience. A 2474 00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:02,800 continuity of the student experience. A 2475 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,790 continuity of the student experience. A quote from a staff survey. So many 2476 00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:04,800 quote from a staff survey. So many 2477 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,630 quote from a staff survey. So many students need intensive literacy and 2478 00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:06,640 students need intensive literacy and 2479 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,550 students need intensive literacy and math interventions that teachers simply 2480 00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:08,560 math interventions that teachers simply 2481 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,390 math interventions that teachers simply cannot provide on their own effectively 2482 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:10,400 cannot provide on their own effectively 2483 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,510 cannot provide on their own effectively with fidelity. And then a comment from 2484 00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:13,520 with fidelity. And then a comment from 2485 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,069 with fidelity. And then a comment from the flat irons roundt. Part-time 2486 00:46:16,069 --> 00:46:16,079 the flat irons roundt. Part-time 2487 00:46:16,079 --> 00:46:18,069 the flat irons roundt. Part-time support, counseling, resource, gifted 2488 00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:18,079 support, counseling, resource, gifted 2489 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:20,390 support, counseling, resource, gifted and talented specials, etc. does not 2490 00:46:20,390 --> 00:46:20,400 and talented specials, etc. does not 2491 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,390 and talented specials, etc. does not work. Working as a classroom teacher 2492 00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:22,400 work. Working as a classroom teacher 2493 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,309 work. Working as a classroom teacher without a team is not sustainable. 2494 00:46:26,309 --> 00:46:26,319 without a team is not sustainable. 2495 00:46:26,319 --> 00:46:28,470 without a team is not sustainable. Next is this idea of equitable funding. 2496 00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:28,480 Next is this idea of equitable funding. 2497 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,710 Next is this idea of equitable funding. Uh so we didn't see equitable funding 2498 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:30,720 Uh so we didn't see equitable funding 2499 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,550 Uh so we didn't see equitable funding come up in the top three musthaves when 2500 00:46:32,550 --> 00:46:32,560 come up in the top three musthaves when 2501 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,790 come up in the top three musthaves when we looked at the full survey population. 2502 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:34,800 we looked at the full survey population. 2503 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,430 we looked at the full survey population. Uh but that did rise to the top of um 2504 00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:37,440 Uh but that did rise to the top of um 2505 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,750 Uh but that did rise to the top of um top three list for both staff as well as 2506 00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:39,760 top three list for both staff as well as 2507 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,630 top three list for both staff as well as the community. Uh this was also came up 2508 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:42,640 the community. Uh this was also came up 2509 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,990 the community. Uh this was also came up in dozens of uh open-ended responses was 2510 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:46,000 in dozens of uh open-ended responses was 2511 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,870 in dozens of uh open-ended responses was this idea of equity based equity based 2512 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:48,880 this idea of equity based equity based 2513 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,790 this idea of equity based equity based funding. So a call for differentiated 2514 00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:50,800 funding. So a call for differentiated 2515 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,950 funding. So a call for differentiated funding uh to ensure that resources 2516 00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:52,960 funding uh to ensure that resources 2517 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,430 funding uh to ensure that resources follow student needs. So, a quote from 2518 00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:55,440 follow student needs. So, a quote from 2519 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,910 follow student needs. So, a quote from the Ryan Roundt, when funding is 2520 00:46:57,910 --> 00:46:57,920 the Ryan Roundt, when funding is 2521 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,910 the Ryan Roundt, when funding is diverted to maintain small schools 2522 00:46:59,910 --> 00:46:59,920 diverted to maintain small schools 2523 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,670 diverted to maintain small schools rather than being allocated based on 2524 00:47:01,670 --> 00:47:01,680 rather than being allocated based on 2525 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,990 rather than being allocated based on student need, it limits our ability to 2526 00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:04,000 student need, it limits our ability to 2527 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,589 student need, it limits our ability to provide the level of support our 2528 00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:05,599 provide the level of support our 2529 00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:08,390 provide the level of support our students require to be successful.

So, there were dozens of people 2546 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:26,160 ways. So, there were dozens of people 2547 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,230 ways. So, there were dozens of people who uh made comments about there being 2548 00:47:28,230 --> 00:47:28,240 who uh made comments about there being 2549 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,910 who uh made comments about there being cuts from the top, calling for central 2550 00:47:29,910 --> 00:47:29,920 cuts from the top, calling for central 2551 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,150 cuts from the top, calling for central admin reductions before any cuts 2552 00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:32,160 admin reductions before any cuts 2553 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,150 admin reductions before any cuts happened at the school level. A quote 2554 00:47:34,150 --> 00:47:34,160 happened at the school level. A quote 2555 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,990 happened at the school level.

So, a quote from a community engagement packet, is there an 2716 00:50:35,190 --> 00:50:35,200 community engagement packet, is there an 2717 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,430 community engagement packet, is there an option to redraw some of the lines of 2718 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:37,440 option to redraw some of the lines of 2719 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,390 option to redraw some of the lines of which areas feed which schools in order 2720 00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:40,400 which areas feed which schools in order 2721 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,390 which areas feed which schools in order to even out enrollment before closures 2722 00:50:42,390 --> 00:50:42,400 to even out enrollment before closures 2723 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,710 to even out enrollment before closures or consolidations have to take place? 2724 00:50:44,710 --> 00:50:44,720 or consolidations have to take place? 2725 00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:46,150 or consolidations have to take place? For example, there are neighborhoods 2726 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:46,160 For example, there are neighborhoods 2727 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,069 For example, there are neighborhoods that are closer to Cole but feed into 2728 00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:48,079 that are closer to Cole but feed into 2729 00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:49,910 that are closer to Cole but feed into Aspen Creek. 2730 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:49,920 Aspen Creek. 2731 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,910 Aspen Creek. And then another nuance earlier, um 2732 00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:51,920 And then another nuance earlier, um 2733 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,069 And then another nuance earlier, um you'll recall I said that the uh 2734 00:50:54,069 --> 00:50:54,079 you'll recall I said that the uh 2735 00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:56,309 you'll recall I said that the uh reconfiguration of K8 schools was the 2736 00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:56,319 reconfiguration of K8 schools was the 2737 00:50:56,319 --> 00:50:58,230 reconfiguration of K8 schools was the number two favorable shift at the 2738 00:50:58,230 --> 00:50:58,240 number two favorable shift at the 2739 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,950 number two favorable shift at the community engagement packets. Uh but we 2740 00:51:00,950 --> 00:51:00,960 community engagement packets. Uh but we 2741 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,950 community engagement packets. Uh but we did we see in the qualitative data a 2742 00:51:02,950 --> 00:51:02,960 did we see in the qualitative data a 2743 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,510 did we see in the qualitative data a pretty even split um in the Lewisville 2744 00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:05,520 pretty even split um in the Lewisville 2745 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,390 pretty even split um in the Lewisville Superior area of uh some people being in 2746 00:51:08,390 --> 00:51:08,400 Superior area of uh some people being in 2747 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,790 Superior area of uh some people being in favor of um preserving that model and 2748 00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:10,800 favor of um preserving that model and 2749 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,230 favor of um preserving that model and others being in favor of the 2750 00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:12,240 others being in favor of the 2751 00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,630 others being in favor of the reconfiguration. So a quote from each 2752 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:14,640 reconfiguration. So a quote from each 2753 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,349 reconfiguration. So a quote from each side, a staff survey saying, "I love the 2754 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:17,359 side, a staff survey saying, "I love the 2755 00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:19,750 side, a staff survey saying, "I love the K8 model.

It's good to separate these ages because they are 2766 00:51:29,349 --> 00:51:29,359 to separate these ages because they are 2767 00:51:29,359 --> 00:51:31,190 to separate these ages because they are developmentally so different. Young 2768 00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:31,200 developmentally so different. Young 2769 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,030 developmentally so different. Young students not exposed to older students 2770 00:51:33,030 --> 00:51:33,040 students not exposed to older students 2771 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,349 students not exposed to older students behavior, violence, etc. and specialists 2772 00:51:35,349 --> 00:51:35,359 behavior, violence, etc. and specialists 2773 00:51:35,359 --> 00:51:37,670 behavior, violence, etc. and specialists teachers and support staff being able to 2774 00:51:37,670 --> 00:51:37,680 teachers and support staff being able to 2775 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:42,069 teachers and support staff being able to be specialized for specific grades. 2776 00:51:42,069 --> 00:51:42,079 be specialized for specific grades. 2777 00:51:42,079 --> 00:51:44,710 be specialized for specific grades.

And I feel 2990 00:55:47,190 --> 00:55:47,200 community is transparency. And I feel 2991 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,390 community is transparency. And I feel like we're really doing a great job of 2992 00:55:50,390 --> 00:55:50,400 like we're really doing a great job of 2993 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,750 like we're really doing a great job of talking about the problem. Um, letting 2994 00:55:53,750 --> 00:55:53,760 talking about the problem. Um, letting 2995 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,510 talking about the problem. Um, letting everybody talk about what they think the 2996 00:55:55,510 --> 00:55:55,520 everybody talk about what they think the 2997 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,829 everybody talk about what they think the best solutions are. And what comes up 2998 00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:57,839 best solutions are. And what comes up 2999 00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:00,870 best solutions are. And what comes up for me is um, and two people have 3000 00:56:00,870 --> 00:56:00,880 for me is um, and two people have 3001 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,390 for me is um, and two people have already mentioned it, but I think it's 3002 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:02,400 already mentioned it, but I think it's 3003 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,630 already mentioned it, but I think it's worth continuing to say that there are 3004 00:56:04,630 --> 00:56:04,640 worth continuing to say that there are 3005 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,150 worth continuing to say that there are going to be tradeoffs here. So, while we 3006 00:56:08,150 --> 00:56:08,160 going to be tradeoffs here. So, while we 3007 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:14,630 going to be tradeoffs here. So, while we can say we care about the I bet that's 3008 00:56:14,630 --> 00:56:14,640 can say we care about the I bet that's 3009 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,589 can say we care about the I bet that's me. Is that you, Randy or me? 3010 00:56:17,589 --> 00:56:17,599 me. Is that you, Randy or me? 3011 00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:28,390 me. Is that you, Randy or me? It's me.

Um, I think that 3015 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,829 Sorry. Um, I think that we want the community to know 3016 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:37,839 we want the community to know 3017 00:56:37,839 --> 00:56:39,750 we want the community to know that we would love to solve all of the 3018 00:56:39,750 --> 00:56:39,760 that we would love to solve all of the 3019 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,589 that we would love to solve all of the problems, but we're not going to be able 3020 00:56:41,589 --> 00:56:41,599 problems, but we're not going to be able 3021 00:56:41,599 --> 00:56:43,990 problems, but we're not going to be able to solve all of the problems. And those 3022 00:56:43,990 --> 00:56:44,000 to solve all of the problems. And those 3023 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,430 to solve all of the problems. And those trade-offs are going to be necessary. 3024 00:56:45,430 --> 00:56:45,440 trade-offs are going to be necessary. 3025 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,710 trade-offs are going to be necessary. When I look at something like 3026 00:56:46,710 --> 00:56:46,720 When I look at something like 3027 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:49,589 When I look at something like neighborhood proximity and then I take 3028 00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:49,599 neighborhood proximity and then I take 3029 00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:53,349 neighborhood proximity and then I take something like um advanced academics, 3030 00:56:53,349 --> 00:56:53,359 something like um advanced academics, 3031 00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:56,789 something like um advanced academics, those two things are not going to meet 3032 00:56:56,789 --> 00:56:56,799 those two things are not going to meet 3033 00:56:56,799 --> 00:56:59,190 those two things are not going to meet together at all points. 3034 00:56:59,190 --> 00:56:59,200 together at all points. 3035 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:03,270 together at all points. So that challenge um of maintaining 3036 00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:03,280 So that challenge um of maintaining 3037 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,430 So that challenge um of maintaining transparency while understanding that 3038 00:57:05,430 --> 00:57:05,440 transparency while understanding that 3039 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,829 transparency while understanding that trade-offs are necessary 3040 00:57:07,829 --> 00:57:07,839 trade-offs are necessary 3041 00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:11,190 trade-offs are necessary is really important for our public to be 3042 00:57:11,190 --> 00:57:11,200 is really important for our public to be 3043 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:17,109 is really important for our public to be aware of.

Um, I would not want any 3052 00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:28,640 Um, I would not want any 3053 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,309 Um, I would not want any of our students to have to go through 3054 00:57:30,309 --> 00:57:30,319 of our students to have to go through 3055 00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:33,510 of our students to have to go through this twice in their BBSD 3056 00:57:33,510 --> 00:57:33,520 this twice in their BBSD 3057 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,390 this twice in their BBSD tenure. One time is enough. It's hard on 3058 00:57:36,390 --> 00:57:36,400 tenure. One time is enough. It's hard on 3059 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,589 tenure. One time is enough. It's hard on students. Um, it's hard on our families. 3060 00:57:39,589 --> 00:57:39,599 students. Um, it's hard on our families. 3061 00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:43,109 students. Um, it's hard on our families.

So, I'm really excited 3318 01:03:22,870 --> 01:03:22,880 conversations. So, I'm really excited 3319 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,549 conversations. So, I'm really excited about that. Um, I have one re one thing 3320 01:03:26,549 --> 01:03:26,559 about that. Um, I have one re one thing 3321 01:03:26,559 --> 01:03:29,589 about that. Um, I have one re one thing I think as I look through the data, 3322 01:03:29,589 --> 01:03:29,599 I think as I look through the data, 3323 01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:32,069 I think as I look through the data, uh, I notice I feel like the things that 3324 01:03:32,069 --> 01:03:32,079 uh, I notice I feel like the things that 3325 01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:33,990 uh, I notice I feel like the things that we're talking about are largely framed 3326 01:03:33,990 --> 01:03:34,000 we're talking about are largely framed 3327 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,990 we're talking about are largely framed from an adult perspective of like what 3328 01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:36,000 from an adult perspective of like what 3329 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,390 from an adult perspective of like what will we do to reorganize buildings and 3330 01:03:38,390 --> 01:03:38,400 will we do to reorganize buildings and 3331 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,270 will we do to reorganize buildings and adults and every one of those changes 3332 01:03:41,270 --> 01:03:41,280 adults and every one of those changes 3333 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,029 adults and every one of those changes and values is actually a very 3334 01:03:43,029 --> 01:03:43,039 and values is actually a very 3335 01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:45,270 and values is actually a very kid-focused thing. And sometimes in the 3336 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:45,280 kid-focused thing. And sometimes in the 3337 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,549 kid-focused thing. And sometimes in the way we talk about it, I think we lose 3338 01:03:46,549 --> 01:03:46,559 way we talk about it, I think we lose 3339 01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:49,190 way we talk about it, I think we lose the kid focusness. So when we talk about 3340 01:03:49,190 --> 01:03:49,200 the kid focusness. So when we talk about 3341 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,029 the kid focusness. So when we talk about teacher collaboration, I'm like, big 3342 01:03:51,029 --> 01:03:51,039 teacher collaboration, I'm like, big 3343 01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:52,470 teacher collaboration, I'm like, big deal, teacher collaboration. It's like, 3344 01:03:52,470 --> 01:03:52,480 deal, teacher collaboration. It's like, 3345 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,789 deal, teacher collaboration. It's like, no, no, no. When teachers collaborate, 3346 01:03:54,789 --> 01:03:54,799 no, no, no. When teachers collaborate, 3347 01:03:54,799 --> 01:03:57,349 no, no, no. When teachers collaborate, Johnny gets to talk to somebody in the 3348 01:03:57,349 --> 01:03:57,359 Johnny gets to talk to somebody in the 3349 01:03:57,359 --> 01:03:58,789 Johnny gets to talk to somebody in the reading class who knows what they did 3350 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:58,799 reading class who knows what they did 3351 01:03:58,799 --> 01:04:00,309 reading class who knows what they did last week. If they don't collaborate, 3352 01:04:00,309 --> 01:04:00,319 last week. If they don't collaborate, 3353 01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:02,390 last week. If they don't collaborate, that they don't know. So all these 3354 01:04:02,390 --> 01:04:02,400 that they don't know. So all these 3355 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:03,670 that they don't know. So all these things, we could have you could have 3356 01:04:03,670 --> 01:04:03,680 things, we could have you could have 3357 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,109 things, we could have you could have done that whole presentation and not 3358 01:04:05,109 --> 01:04:05,119 done that whole presentation and not 3359 01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,750 done that whole presentation and not really mentioned adults at all. Um, and 3360 01:04:07,750 --> 01:04:07,760 really mentioned adults at all. Um, and 3361 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,190 really mentioned adults at all. Um, and talked about the same things because 3362 01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:09,200 talked about the same things because 3363 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,349 talked about the same things because this is all very kid focused in terms of 3364 01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:11,359 this is all very kid focused in terms of 3365 01:04:11,359 --> 01:04:13,430 this is all very kid focused in terms of the changes that we will make. And I do 3366 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:13,440 the changes that we will make. And I do 3367 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,510 the changes that we will make. And I do think we should maybe figure out ways to 3368 01:04:15,510 --> 01:04:15,520 think we should maybe figure out ways to 3369 01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,349 think we should maybe figure out ways to talk about that that way because this 3370 01:04:17,349 --> 01:04:17,359 talk about that that way because this 3371 01:04:17,359 --> 01:04:19,990 talk about that that way because this still comes off as you know when it 3372 01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:20,000 still comes off as you know when it 3373 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,230 still comes off as you know when it comes if I have to weigh what a teacher 3374 01:04:22,230 --> 01:04:22,240 comes if I have to weigh what a teacher 3375 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,789 comes if I have to weigh what a teacher thinks compared to what a kid needs I'm 3376 01:04:24,789 --> 01:04:24,799 thinks compared to what a kid needs I'm 3377 01:04:24,799 --> 01:04:27,190 thinks compared to what a kid needs I'm elected to act on behalf of the kids and 3378 01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:27,200 elected to act on behalf of the kids and 3379 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,950 elected to act on behalf of the kids and I will do that but that's not what it's 3380 01:04:28,950 --> 01:04:28,960 I will do that but that's not what it's 3381 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:30,630 I will do that but that's not what it's not a one or one but it sounds like 3382 01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:30,640 not a one or one but it sounds like 3383 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:31,990 not a one or one but it sounds like we're talking about a lot of adult 3384 01:04:31,990 --> 01:04:32,000 we're talking about a lot of adult 3385 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,349 we're talking about a lot of adult things here. Um another one spoke to 3386 01:04:35,349 --> 01:04:35,359 things here. Um another one spoke to 3387 01:04:35,359 --> 01:04:38,230 things here. Um another one spoke to this but there's the extent to which we 3388 01:04:38,230 --> 01:04:38,240 this but there's the extent to which we 3389 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,349 this but there's the extent to which we can act on these things is from how bold 3390 01:04:41,349 --> 01:04:41,359 can act on these things is from how bold 3391 01:04:41,359 --> 01:04:43,910 can act on these things is from how bold we are. we do less action, we can 3392 01:04:43,910 --> 01:04:43,920 we are. we do less action, we can 3393 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,230 we are. we do less action, we can address less things. So if people want 3394 01:04:46,230 --> 01:04:46,240 address less things. So if people want 3395 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:47,430 address less things. So if people want to do the right things on the 3396 01:04:47,430 --> 01:04:47,440 to do the right things on the 3397 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,109 to do the right things on the trade-offs, we have to do the hard 3398 01:04:49,109 --> 01:04:49,119 trade-offs, we have to do the hard 3399 01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:51,430 trade-offs, we have to do the hard things on structure. And so the more 3400 01:04:51,430 --> 01:04:51,440 things on structure. And so the more 3401 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,630 things on structure. And so the more structurally uh necessary things we do, 3402 01:04:54,630 --> 01:04:54,640 structurally uh necessary things we do, 3403 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,029 structurally uh necessary things we do, the more good things we can do. And if 3404 01:04:57,029 --> 01:04:57,039 the more good things we can do. And if 3405 01:04:57,039 --> 01:04:59,670 the more good things we can do. And if we pull our punches on making the hard 3406 01:04:59,670 --> 01:04:59,680 we pull our punches on making the hard 3407 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,069 we pull our punches on making the hard calls, we are going to get less of the 3408 01:05:02,069 --> 01:05:02,079 calls, we are going to get less of the 3409 01:05:02,079 --> 01:05:04,950 calls, we are going to get less of the good part. And so if you want to if you 3410 01:05:04,950 --> 01:05:04,960 good part. And so if you want to if you 3411 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,789 good part. And so if you want to if you want to do more about class size, you 3412 01:05:06,789 --> 01:05:06,799 want to do more about class size, you 3413 01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:08,549 want to do more about class size, you want to do more about differentiated 3414 01:05:08,549 --> 01:05:08,559 want to do more about differentiated 3415 01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:10,549 want to do more about differentiated instruction and teacher collaboration, 3416 01:05:10,549 --> 01:05:10,559 instruction and teacher collaboration, 3417 01:05:10,559 --> 01:05:13,029 instruction and teacher collaboration, then we need to do more on consolidation 3418 01:05:13,029 --> 01:05:13,039 then we need to do more on consolidation 3419 01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:15,510 then we need to do more on consolidation or restructuring. So like that's the 3420 01:05:15,510 --> 01:05:15,520 or restructuring. So like that's the 3421 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,589 or restructuring. So like that's the other obvious like it's one or the 3422 01:05:17,589 --> 01:05:17,599 other obvious like it's one or the 3423 01:05:17,599 --> 01:05:19,829 other obvious like it's one or the other. Like we we can't just close one 3424 01:05:19,829 --> 01:05:19,839 other. Like we we can't just close one 3425 01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:22,230 other. Like we we can't just close one school but then fix eight. So if we're 3426 01:05:22,230 --> 01:05:22,240 school but then fix eight. So if we're 3427 01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:23,589 school but then fix eight. So if we're going to close five schools, then maybe 3428 01:05:23,589 --> 01:05:23,599 going to close five schools, then maybe 3429 01:05:23,599 --> 01:05:25,990 going to close five schools, then maybe we can fix 10 schools in in one of these 3430 01:05:25,990 --> 01:05:26,000 we can fix 10 schools in in one of these 3431 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,309 we can fix 10 schools in in one of these regards. And that's it's a it's a really 3432 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:28,319 regards. And that's it's a it's a really 3433 01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:30,630 regards. And that's it's a it's a really direct trade-off that the community 3434 01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:30,640 direct trade-off that the community 3435 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,710 direct trade-off that the community needs to know. Same thing is that this 3436 01:05:32,710 --> 01:05:32,720 needs to know. Same thing is that this 3437 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,630 needs to know. Same thing is that this work is really this is the first phase 3438 01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:34,640 work is really this is the first phase 3439 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,630 work is really this is the first phase of the work that we do like we don't 3440 01:05:36,630 --> 01:05:36,640 of the work that we do like we don't 3441 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,549 of the work that we do like we don't want to do multiple phases of closures 3442 01:05:38,549 --> 01:05:38,559 want to do multiple phases of closures 3443 01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:40,710 want to do multiple phases of closures and consolidations. There will be a next 3444 01:05:40,710 --> 01:05:40,720 and consolidations. There will be a next 3445 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,230 and consolidations. There will be a next phase of implementation where there's a 3446 01:05:42,230 --> 01:05:42,240 phase of implementation where there's a 3447 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:43,990 phase of implementation where there's a lot of work to do and we want to be able 3448 01:05:43,990 --> 01:05:44,000 lot of work to do and we want to be able 3449 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:45,990 lot of work to do and we want to be able to switch pretty quickly to adults 3450 01:05:45,990 --> 01:05:46,000 to switch pretty quickly to adults 3451 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,150 to switch pretty quickly to adults talking about how to do this well not 3452 01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:48,160 talking about how to do this well not 3453 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:49,670 talking about how to do this well not should we have done it or can we go back 3454 01:05:49,670 --> 01:05:49,680 should we have done it or can we go back 3455 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,750 should we have done it or can we go back and not do it. So I think our messages 3456 01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:51,760 and not do it. So I think our messages 3457 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,029 and not do it. So I think our messages to the community need to be really 3458 01:05:53,029 --> 01:05:53,039 to the community need to be really 3459 01:05:53,039 --> 01:05:54,789 to the community need to be really clear. We're going to do intense stuff 3460 01:05:54,789 --> 01:05:54,799 clear. We're going to do intense stuff 3461 01:05:54,799 --> 01:05:57,109 clear. We're going to do intense stuff once and then we're going to work really 3462 01:05:57,109 --> 01:05:57,119 once and then we're going to work really 3463 01:05:57,119 --> 01:05:59,109 once and then we're going to work really hard to implement it well. And the more 3464 01:05:59,109 --> 01:05:59,119 hard to implement it well. And the more 3465 01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:00,710 hard to implement it well. And the more intense we make it, the more this will 3466 01:06:00,710 --> 01:06:00,720 intense we make it, the more this will 3467 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,029 intense we make it, the more this will last longer and the more we'll focus on 3468 01:06:03,029 --> 01:06:03,039 last longer and the more we'll focus on 3469 01:06:03,039 --> 01:06:06,470 last longer and the more we'll focus on what kids need and how to do it. And 3470 01:06:06,470 --> 01:06:06,480 what kids need and how to do it. And 3471 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,270 what kids need and how to do it.

When parents pick their neighborhood 3484 01:06:20,150 --> 01:06:20,160 When parents pick their neighborhood 3485 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,829 When parents pick their neighborhood school, yes, they want to walk there, 3486 01:06:21,829 --> 01:06:21,839 school, yes, they want to walk there, 3487 01:06:21,839 --> 01:06:22,950 school, yes, they want to walk there, but they also know that their 3488 01:06:22,950 --> 01:06:22,960 but they also know that their 3489 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:24,309 but they also know that their neighborhood school does something 3490 01:06:24,309 --> 01:06:24,319 neighborhood school does something 3491 01:06:24,319 --> 01:06:25,829 neighborhood school does something really well that was working for their 3492 01:06:25,829 --> 01:06:25,839 really well that was working for their 3493 01:06:25,839 --> 01:06:27,270 really well that was working for their kid. They could have been one of the 3494 01:06:27,270 --> 01:06:27,280 kid. They could have been one of the 3495 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,630 kid. They could have been one of the people driving their kids or biking and 3496 01:06:28,630 --> 01:06:28,640 people driving their kids or biking and 3497 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,549 people driving their kids or biking and their kids across town, but they're not. 3498 01:06:30,549 --> 01:06:30,559 their kids across town, but they're not. 3499 01:06:30,559 --> 01:06:32,870 their kids across town, but they're not. So, all our schools are special in 3500 01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:32,880 So, all our schools are special in 3501 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,789 So, all our schools are special in unique ways that have attracted the 3502 01:06:34,789 --> 01:06:34,799 unique ways that have attracted the 3503 01:06:34,799 --> 01:06:37,190 unique ways that have attracted the parents to be there or go there. And so, 3504 01:06:37,190 --> 01:06:37,200 parents to be there or go there. And so, 3505 01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,670 parents to be there or go there. And so, I think as we think about what we do and 3506 01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:39,680 I think as we think about what we do and 3507 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,910 I think as we think about what we do and how we we our changes need to 3508 01:06:41,910 --> 01:06:41,920 how we we our changes need to 3509 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,069 how we we our changes need to accommodate the things people love about 3510 01:06:44,069 --> 01:06:44,079 accommodate the things people love about 3511 01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:46,710 accommodate the things people love about their schools and that stands for the 3512 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:46,720 their schools and that stands for the 3513 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:47,990 their schools and that stands for the neighborhood schools as well as the 3514 01:06:47,990 --> 01:06:48,000 neighborhood schools as well as the 3515 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,829 neighborhood schools as well as the focus and innovation and and track 3516 01:06:49,829 --> 01:06:49,839 focus and innovation and and track 3517 01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:51,589 focus and innovation and and track schools.

01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:45,269 themes that arose are all underlined by equity our ability to serve or not serve 3624 01:08:45,269 --> 01:08:45,279 equity our ability to serve or not serve 3625 01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:47,189 equity our ability to serve or not serve our students as has been the case given 3626 01:08:47,189 --> 01:08:47,199 our students as has been the case given 3627

provide resources everywhere and I think that's the 3632 01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:51,040 everywhere and I think that's the 3633 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,390 everywhere and I think that's the driving force for what we're doing and 3634 01:08:52,390 --> 01:08:52,400 driving force for what we're doing and 3635 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,630 driving force for what we're doing and so you know I'm in favor of of being 3636 01:08:54,630 --> 01:08:54,640 so you know I'm in favor of of being 3637 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:55,990 so you know I'm in favor of of being forward thinking and addressing this 3638 01:08:55,990 --> 01:08:56,000 forward thinking and addressing this 3639 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,229 forward thinking and addressing this stuff now and and having a a long-term 3640 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:58,239 stuff now and and having a a long-term 3641 01:08:58,239 --> 01:08:59,669 stuff now and and having a a long-term plan right for the next seven 10 years 3642 01:08:59,669 --> 01:08:59,679 plan right for the next seven 10 years 3643 01:08:59,679 --> 01:09:02,309 plan right for the next seven 10 years so we're not going through this again um 3644 01:09:02,309 --> 01:09:02,319 so we're not going through this again um 3645 01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:04,149 so we're not going through this again um and and so that we can have greater 3646 01:09:04,149 --> 01:09:04,159 and and so that we can have greater 3647 01:09:04,159 --> 01:09:08,390 and and so that we can have greater impact and change um you know 3648 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:08,400 impact and change um you know 3649 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,269 impact and change um you know I'm not from Colorado originally um we 3650 01:09:11,269 --> 01:09:11,279 I'm not from Colorado originally um we 3651 01:09:11,279 --> 01:09:13,269 I'm not from Colorado originally um we have open enrollment in Colorado I'm 3652 01:09:13,269 --> 01:09:13,279 have open enrollment in Colorado I'm 3653 01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:14,550 have open enrollment in Colorado I'm still trying to wrap my head around that 3654 01:09:14,550 --> 01:09:14,560 still trying to wrap my head around that 3655 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:15,829 still trying to wrap my head around that all the time right and that's something 3656 01:09:15,829 --> 01:09:15,839 all the time right and that's something 3657 01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:16,950 all the time right and that's something that didn't really come up here but 3658 01:09:16,950 --> 01:09:16,960 that didn't really come up here but 3659 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,390 that didn't really come up here but that's that underlies all this as well 3660 01:09:18,390 --> 01:09:18,400 that's that underlies all this as well 3661 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,709 that's that underlies all this as well right currently half of our school or 3662 01:09:20,709 --> 01:09:20,719 right currently half of our school or 3663 01:09:20,719 --> 01:09:22,709 right currently half of our school or our schools about 50% of them are all 3664 01:09:22,709 --> 01:09:22,719 our schools about 50% of them are all 3665 01:09:22,719 --> 01:09:24,229 our schools about 50% of them are all through open enrollment right so it's a 3666 01:09:24,229 --> 01:09:24,239 through open enrollment right so it's a 3667 01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:25,269 through open enrollment right so it's a neighborhood school but it's also an 3668 01:09:25,269 --> 01:09:25,279 neighborhood school but it's also an 3669 01:09:25,279 --> 01:09:26,950 neighborhood school but it's also an open enrollment school and that adds 3670 01:09:26,950 --> 01:09:26,960 open enrollment school and that adds 3671 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,349 open enrollment school and that adds complexity here so so I appreciate 3672 01:09:29,349 --> 01:09:29,359 complexity here so so I appreciate 3673 01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:30,870 complexity here so so I appreciate thinking about the different models and 3674 01:09:30,870 --> 01:09:30,880 thinking about the different models and 3675 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,630 thinking about the different models and thinking about, you know, how we can 3676 01:09:32,630 --> 01:09:32,640 thinking about, you know, how we can 3677 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,309 thinking about, you know, how we can improve access throughout the district 3678 01:09:34,309 --> 01:09:34,319 improve access throughout the district 3679 01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:36,390 improve access throughout the district as opposed to any individual school and 3680 01:09:36,390 --> 01:09:36,400 as opposed to any individual school and 3681 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,630 as opposed to any individual school and to really think about transportation um 3682 01:09:38,630 --> 01:09:38,640 to really think about transportation um 3683 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,269 to really think about transportation um and barriers to to individuals to access 3684 01:09:41,269 --> 01:09:41,279 and barriers to to individuals to access 3685 01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:42,709 and barriers to to individuals to access the schools that they want to choose 3686 01:09:42,709 --> 01:09:42,719 the schools that they want to choose 3687 01:09:42,719 --> 01:09:44,229 the schools that they want to choose from and try to expand that as much as 3688 01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:44,239 from and try to expand that as much as 3689 01:09:44,239 --> 01:09:45,990 from and try to expand that as much as possible as a part of this process. Um 3690 01:09:45,990 --> 01:09:46,000 possible as a part of this process. Um 3691 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,669 possible as a part of this process. Um so I think this is an opportunity for us 3692 01:09:47,669 --> 01:09:47,679 so I think this is an opportunity for us 3693 01:09:47,679 --> 01:09:49,590 so I think this is an opportunity for us to better serve, you know, not just 3694 01:09:49,590 --> 01:09:49,600 to better serve, you know, not just 3695 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:50,950 to better serve, you know, not just within the schools but across our 3696 01:09:50,950 --> 01:09:50,960 within the schools but across our 3697 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,309 within the schools but across our district, right, in terms of who has 3698 01:09:52,309 --> 01:09:52,319 district, right, in terms of who has 3699 01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:53,749 district, right, in terms of who has access to our to the great programming 3700 01:09:53,749 --> 01:09:53,759 access to our to the great programming 3701 01:09:53,759 --> 01:09:55,590 access to our to the great programming that we have here. So so thank you for 3702 01:09:55,590 --> 01:09:55,600 that we have here. So so thank you for 3703 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,229 that we have here. So so thank you for um uh all this data. think we've got 3704 01:09:58,229 --> 01:09:58,239 um uh all this data. think we've got 3705 01:09:58,239 --> 01:09:59,430 um uh all this data. think we've got some clear direction from our community 3706 01:09:59,430 --> 01:09:59,440 some clear direction from our community 3707 01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:01,350 some clear direction from our community and our teachers um and our and our 3708 01:10:01,350 --> 01:10:01,360 and our teachers um and our and our 3709 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,550 and our teachers um and our and our families.

We've got to the 3714 01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:08,080 to forget that, right? We've got to the 3715 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,750 to forget that, right? We've got to the next years can be very challenging. Next 3716 01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:09,760 next years can be very challenging. Next 3717 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,189 next years can be very challenging. Next couple years, right, as we support our 3718 01:10:11,189 --> 01:10:11,199 couple years, right, as we support our 3719 01:10:11,199 --> 01:10:13,189 couple years, right, as we support our families through this process and change 3720 01:10:13,189 --> 01:10:13,199 families through this process and change 3721 01:10:13,199 --> 01:10:15,830 families through this process and change um and I I think, you know, we've kind 3722 01:10:15,830 --> 01:10:15,840 um and I I think, you know, we've kind 3723 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,149 um and I I think, you know, we've kind of had the transparency.

And so, not so much a question, but a thank you, 3730 01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:25,440 3731 01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:29,510 >> Deian. 3732 01:10:29,510 --> 01:10:29,520 3733 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,070 I personally have enjoyed every minute 3734 01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:32,080 I personally have enjoyed every minute 3735 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,110 I personally have enjoyed every minute of this process as an observer and 3736 01:10:35,110 --> 01:10:35,120 of this process as an observer and 3737 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,990 of this process as an observer and getting to meet parents and uh see them 3738 01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:38,000 getting to meet parents and uh see them 3739 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,189 getting to meet parents and uh see them engaging in the process and I bet they 3740 01:10:41,189 --> 01:10:41,199 engaging in the process and I bet they 3741 01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:43,110 engaging in the process and I bet they feel the same way too that they they 3742 01:10:43,110 --> 01:10:43,120 feel the same way too that they they 3743 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,030 feel the same way too that they they feel heard and seen. Um I do worry a 3744 01:10:47,030 --> 01:10:47,040 feel heard and seen. Um I do worry a 3745 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,390 feel heard and seen. Um I do worry a little bit about one of the data points 3746 01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:50,400 little bit about one of the data points 3747 01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:54,149 little bit about one of the data points because one necessarily negates the 3748 01:10:54,149 --> 01:10:54,159 because one necessarily negates the 3749 01:10:54,159 --> 01:10:56,870 because one necessarily negates the other and that is we would like 3750 01:10:56,870 --> 01:10:56,880 other and that is we would like 3751 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,390 other and that is we would like consolidation 3752 01:10:58,390 --> 01:10:58,400 consolidation 3753 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,149 consolidation and we wouldn't like school closures. 3754 01:11:02,149 --> 01:11:02,159 and we wouldn't like school closures. 3755 01:11:02,159 --> 01:11:05,189 and we wouldn't like school closures. You can't really do one and not have the 3756 01:11:05,189 --> 01:11:05,199 You can't really do one and not have the 3757 01:11:05,199 --> 01:11:09,750 You can't really do one and not have the other. And so it was kind of a false 3758 01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:09,760 other. And so it was kind of a false 3759 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,470 other. And so it was kind of a false choice for people. It almost should have 3760 01:11:12,470 --> 01:11:12,480 choice for people. It almost should have 3761 01:11:12,480 --> 01:11:15,510 choice for people. It almost should have been should we consolidate schools and 3762 01:11:15,510 --> 01:11:15,520 been should we consolidate schools and 3763 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,470 been should we consolidate schools and close a few or should we close a lot of 3764 01:11:18,470 --> 01:11:18,480 close a few or should we close a lot of 3765 01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:20,229 close a few or should we close a lot of schools? I don't know. It should need to 3766 01:11:20,229 --> 01:11:20,239 schools? I don't know. It should need to 3767 01:11:20,239 --> 01:11:22,950 schools? I don't know. It should need to be different because you can't really 3768 01:11:22,950 --> 01:11:22,960 be different because you can't really 3769 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,750 be different because you can't really you can't really do the job without 3770 01:11:25,750 --> 01:11:25,760 you can't really do the job without 3771 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,229 you can't really do the job without disappointing some people as we've all 3772 01:11:28,229 --> 01:11:28,239 disappointing some people as we've all 3773 01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:30,709 disappointing some people as we've all talked about. So, um, there are going to 3774 01:11:30,709 --> 01:11:30,719 talked about. So, um, there are going to 3775 01:11:30,719 --> 01:11:33,830 talked about. So, um, there are going to be disappointments and I also have a lot 3776 01:11:33,830 --> 01:11:33,840 be disappointments and I also have a lot 3777 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,870 be disappointments and I also have a lot of confidence in the fact that we're 3778 01:11:36,870 --> 01:11:36,880 of confidence in the fact that we're 3779 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,790 of confidence in the fact that we're going to be able to figure out some way 3780 01:11:38,790 --> 01:11:38,800 going to be able to figure out some way 3781 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,550 going to be able to figure out some way different ways to support the 3782 01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:40,560 different ways to support the 3783 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,470 different ways to support the communities that are being asked to make 3784 01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:42,480 communities that are being asked to make 3785 01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:45,510 communities that are being asked to make some changes and maybe to improve the 3786 01:11:45,510 --> 01:11:45,520 some changes and maybe to improve the 3787 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,229 some changes and maybe to improve the schools that we have.

Like my colleagues here, 3804 01:12:08,950 --> 01:12:08,960 colleagues here, 3805 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,790 colleagues here, I am in favor of significant maneuvers 3806 01:12:12,790 --> 01:12:12,800 I am in favor of significant maneuvers 3807 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,630 I am in favor of significant maneuvers to protect us in the long run. I mean, 3808 01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:14,640 to protect us in the long run. I mean, 3809 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,790 to protect us in the long run. I mean, again, state demographer down 30,000 3810 01:12:16,790 --> 01:12:16,800 again, state demographer down 30,000 3811 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:20,070 again, state demographer down 30,000 students and then between now and 2030. 3812 01:12:20,070 --> 01:12:20,080 students and then between now and 2030. 3813 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,310 students and then between now and 2030. It's not going to get better. And so the 3814 01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:22,320 It's not going to get better. And so the 3815 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,229 It's not going to get better. And so the more we can do today, the better the 3816 01:12:24,229 --> 01:12:24,239 more we can do today, the better the 3817 01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:25,669 more we can do today, the better the educational experiences we can provide 3818 01:12:25,669 --> 01:12:25,679 educational experiences we can provide 3819 01:12:25,679 --> 01:12:27,669 educational experiences we can provide for our students 3820 01:12:27,669 --> 01:12:27,679 for our students 3821 01:12:27,679 --> 01:12:30,390 for our students more quickly.

Elenia said five years, Jorge 3824 01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:32,960 do this. Elenia said five years, Jorge 3825 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,870 do this. Elenia said five years, Jorge said 7 to 10. I am like 10. 3826 01:12:36,870 --> 01:12:36,880 said 7 to 10. I am like 10. 3827 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,750 said 7 to 10. I am like 10. We need to we need to look out further. 3828 01:12:39,750 --> 01:12:39,760 We need to we need to look out further. 3829 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,870 We need to we need to look out further. Uh this has been an exceedingly 3830 01:12:42,870 --> 01:12:42,880 Uh this has been an exceedingly 3831 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,510 Uh this has been an exceedingly heavy lift for our staff. It's created a 3832 01:12:45,510 --> 01:12:45,520 heavy lift for our staff. It's created a 3833 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,350 heavy lift for our staff. It's created a lot of anxiety for our community in the 3834 01:12:47,350 --> 01:12:47,360 lot of anxiety for our community in the 3835 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:48,709 lot of anxiety for our community in the last couple years just waiting and 3836 01:12:48,709 --> 01:12:48,719 last couple years just waiting and 3837 01:12:48,719 --> 01:12:50,709 last couple years just waiting and wondering. It's going to be a lot of 3838 01:12:50,709 --> 01:12:50,719 wondering. It's going to be a lot of 3839 01:12:50,719 --> 01:12:53,510 wondering. It's going to be a lot of work to make the shift. Disruption is 3840 01:12:53,510 --> 01:12:53,520 work to make the shift. Disruption is 3841 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,550 work to make the shift. Disruption is always hard and the more we can minimize 3842 01:12:56,550 --> 01:12:56,560 always hard and the more we can minimize 3843 01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,470 always hard and the more we can minimize the frequency of disruption whether it's 3844 01:12:58,470 --> 01:12:58,480 the frequency of disruption whether it's 3845 01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:01,110 the frequency of disruption whether it's through not facing in like Alex said or 3846 01:13:01,110 --> 01:13:01,120 through not facing in like Alex said or 3847 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,510 through not facing in like Alex said or thinking longer term I think um while 3848 01:13:05,510 --> 01:13:05,520 thinking longer term I think um while 3849 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,229 thinking longer term I think um while hard in the outset will be appreciated 3850 01:13:08,229 --> 01:13:08,239 hard in the outset will be appreciated 3851 01:13:08,239 --> 01:13:10,550 hard in the outset will be appreciated by our staff and our community in the 3852 01:13:10,550 --> 01:13:10,560 by our staff and our community in the 3853 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:15,270 by our staff and our community in the long run. And so I I agree um bigger 3854 01:13:15,270 --> 01:13:15,280 long run. And so I I agree um bigger 3855 01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,750 long run. And so I I agree um bigger changes that will be provide lasting 3856 01:13:17,750 --> 01:13:17,760 changes that will be provide lasting 3857 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,510 changes that will be provide lasting outcomes is really where I am thinking 3858 01:13:19,510 --> 01:13:19,520 outcomes is really where I am thinking 3859 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,189 outcomes is really where I am thinking about this. And I'm thinking a little 3860 01:13:21,189 --> 01:13:21,199 about this. And I'm thinking a little 3861 01:13:21,199 --> 01:13:22,550 about this. And I'm thinking a little bit about the tension that exists 3862 01:13:22,550 --> 01:13:22,560 bit about the tension that exists 3863 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,709 bit about the tension that exists between the the priorities that were 3864 01:13:24,709 --> 01:13:24,719 between the the priorities that were 3865 01:13:24,719 --> 01:13:27,430 between the the priorities that were elevated. 3866 01:13:27,430 --> 01:13:27,440 elevated. 3867 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:29,750 elevated. And to my board members points, we we're 3868 01:13:29,750 --> 01:13:29,760 And to my board members points, we we're 3869 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:30,790 And to my board members points, we we're not going to be able to accomplish 3870 01:13:30,790 --> 01:13:30,800 not going to be able to accomplish 3871 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,149 not going to be able to accomplish everything, but we're going to do our 3872 01:13:32,149 --> 01:13:32,159 everything, but we're going to do our 3873 01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:34,470 everything, but we're going to do our best to take this into consideration. I 3874 01:13:34,470 --> 01:13:34,480 best to take this into consideration. I 3875 01:13:34,480 --> 01:13:36,149 best to take this into consideration. I think like a couple things that really 3876 01:13:36,149 --> 01:13:36,159 think like a couple things that really 3877 01:13:36,159 --> 01:13:39,590 think like a couple things that really stood out to me around walkability. 3878 01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:39,600 stood out to me around walkability. 3879 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,910 stood out to me around walkability. If we close schools, which we have 3880 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:41,920 If we close schools, which we have 3881 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,510 If we close schools, which we have already decided we cannot keep schools 3882 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:43,520 already decided we cannot keep schools 3883 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:48,950 already decided we cannot keep schools closed, some people might have a longer 3884 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:48,960 closed, some people might have a longer 3885 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,110 closed, some people might have a longer commute to school. 3886 01:13:51,110 --> 01:13:51,120 commute to school. 3887 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,830 commute to school. Like we walkability is I understand it's 3888 01:13:53,830 --> 01:13:53,840 Like we walkability is I understand it's 3889 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:54,950 Like we walkability is I understand it's important. So when I think of that, I'm 3890 01:13:54,950 --> 01:13:54,960 important. So when I think of that, I'm 3891 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:56,630 important. So when I think of that, I'm like, well, let's make sure we keep we 3892 01:13:56,630 --> 01:13:56,640 like, well, let's make sure we keep we 3893 01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,229 like, well, let's make sure we keep we the schools that are in pockets where we 3894 01:13:58,229 --> 01:13:58,239 the schools that are in pockets where we 3895 01:13:58,239 --> 01:13:59,990 the schools that are in pockets where we know we have a lot of students, those 3896 01:13:59,990 --> 01:14:00,000 know we have a lot of students, those 3897 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,870 know we have a lot of students, those are the ones we prioritize, but somebody 3898 01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:02,880 are the ones we prioritize, but somebody 3899 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,189 are the ones we prioritize, but somebody is going to have a longer walk. Similar 3900 01:14:05,189 --> 01:14:05,199 is going to have a longer walk. Similar 3901 01:14:05,199 --> 01:14:07,110 is going to have a longer walk. Similar like taking a school offline. I 3902 01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:07,120 like taking a school offline. I 3903 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,669 like taking a school offline. I understand that there's a um there is 3904 01:14:09,669 --> 01:14:09,679 understand that there's a um there is 3905 01:14:09,679 --> 01:14:11,830 understand that there's a um there is some property value there. Yes. And I 3906 01:14:11,830 --> 01:14:11,840 some property value there. Yes. And I 3907 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:12,950 some property value there. Yes. And I also know it's really hard for the 3908 01:14:12,950 --> 01:14:12,960 also know it's really hard for the 3909 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,630 also know it's really hard for the community to conceive of not having a 3910 01:14:14,630 --> 01:14:14,640 community to conceive of not having a 3911 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,229 community to conceive of not having a school as a neighbor because a school is 3912 01:14:16,229 --> 01:14:16,239 school as a neighbor because a school is 3913 01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:19,110 school as a neighbor because a school is a great neighbor on the weekends and in 3914 01:14:19,110 --> 01:14:19,120 a great neighbor on the weekends and in 3915 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,550 a great neighbor on the weekends and in the summer and the holidays and not 3916 01:14:20,550 --> 01:14:20,560 the summer and the holidays and not 3917 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:21,590 the summer and the holidays and not knowing what's going to happen to that 3918 01:14:21,590 --> 01:14:21,600 knowing what's going to happen to that 3919 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,430 knowing what's going to happen to that property I think is can be pretty 3920 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:23,440 property I think is can be pretty 3921 01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:25,590 property I think is can be pretty anxietyprovoking. 3922 01:14:25,590 --> 01:14:25,600 anxietyprovoking. 3923 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:29,110 anxietyprovoking. Um I also found it interesting the 3924 01:14:29,110 --> 01:14:29,120 Um I also found it interesting the 3925 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,390 Um I also found it interesting the comment from Broomfield about redrawing 3926 01:14:32,390 --> 01:14:32,400 comment from Broomfield about redrawing 3927 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:33,510 comment from Broomfield about redrawing attendance boundaries rather than 3928 01:14:33,510 --> 01:14:33,520 attendance boundaries rather than 3929 01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,189 attendance boundaries rather than considering a school closure. Aspen 3930 01:14:35,189 --> 01:14:35,199 considering a school closure. Aspen 3931 01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:37,750 considering a school closure. Aspen Creek is 50% open enrollment and 30% of 3932 01:14:37,750 --> 01:14:37,760 Creek is 50% open enrollment and 30% of 3933 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:38,870 Creek is 50% open enrollment and 30% of those kids are coming from out of 3934 01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:38,880 those kids are coming from out of 3935 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,870 those kids are coming from out of district. So even in Broomfield, we 3936 01:14:40,870 --> 01:14:40,880 district. So even in Broomfield, we 3937 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,510 district. So even in Broomfield, we don't have enough students to redraw 3938 01:14:43,510 --> 01:14:43,520 don't have enough students to redraw 3939 01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,390 don't have enough students to redraw those lines. And that's a reality I 3940 01:14:46,390 --> 01:14:46,400 those lines. And that's a reality I 3941 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,950 those lines. And that's a reality I think that our staff is going to Yes, we 3942 01:14:48,950 --> 01:14:48,960 think that our staff is going to Yes, we 3943 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,430 think that our staff is going to Yes, we know. We don't want We hear you. We 3944 01:14:51,430 --> 01:14:51,440 know. We don't want We hear you. We 3945 01:14:51,440 --> 01:14:53,830 know. We don't want We hear you. We don't want schools to necessarily close. 3946 01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:53,840 don't want schools to necessarily close. 3947 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:55,910 don't want schools to necessarily close. and to accomplish the other things like 3948 01:14:55,910 --> 01:14:55,920 and to accomplish the other things like 3949 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,070 and to accomplish the other things like smaller class sizes, to have full-time 3950 01:14:58,070 --> 01:14:58,080 smaller class sizes, to have full-time 3951 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,270 smaller class sizes, to have full-time staff in all of our schools, to have 3952 01:15:01,270 --> 01:15:01,280 staff in all of our schools, to have 3953 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,189 staff in all of our schools, to have differentiated supports, that's going to 3954 01:15:03,189 --> 01:15:03,199 differentiated supports, that's going to 3955 01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:06,630 differentiated supports, that's going to be part of it.

Like 4022 01:16:21,270 --> 01:16:21,280 years based on board policy JC. Like 4023 01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:22,950 years based on board policy JC. Like it'd be lovely to be in a cadence where 4024 01:16:22,950 --> 01:16:22,960 it'd be lovely to be in a cadence where 4025 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,709 it'd be lovely to be in a cadence where you look at attendance boundaries five 4026 01:16:24,709 --> 01:16:24,719 you look at attendance boundaries five 4027 01:16:24,719 --> 01:16:26,950 you look at attendance boundaries five years later. Like you're in a cadence 4028 01:16:26,950 --> 01:16:26,960 years later. Like you're in a cadence 4029 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,390 years later. Like you're in a cadence where it's not every 5 years you're 4030 01:16:28,390 --> 01:16:28,400 where it's not every 5 years you're 4031 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,070 where it's not every 5 years you're having to look to close the school in 4032 01:16:30,070 --> 01:16:30,080 having to look to close the school in 4033 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:31,270 having to look to close the school in the conjunction with redrawing those 4034 01:16:31,270 --> 01:16:31,280 the conjunction with redrawing those 4035 01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:32,470 the conjunction with redrawing those attendance boundaries. Those attendance 4036 01:16:32,470 --> 01:16:32,480 attendance boundaries. Those attendance 4037 01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:34,709 attendance boundaries. Those attendance boundary changes could potentially help 4038 01:16:34,709 --> 01:16:34,719 boundary changes could potentially help 4039 01:16:34,719 --> 01:16:37,830 boundary changes could potentially help even out. Um so that's just something I 4040 01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:37,840 even out. Um so that's just something I 4041 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,110 even out. Um so that's just something I want to elevate there. And then 4042 01:16:41,110 --> 01:16:41,120 want to elevate there. And then 4043 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:46,790 want to elevate there. And then um there was one other thing. 4044 01:16:46,790 --> 01:16:46,800 4045 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,229 At the end of the day, this is like a 4046 01:16:48,229 --> 01:16:48,239 At the end of the day, this is like a 4047 01:16:48,239 --> 01:16:50,470 At the end of the day, this is like a really big fiscal decision, right? 4048 01:16:50,470 --> 01:16:50,480 really big fiscal decision, right? 4049 01:16:50,480 --> 01:16:52,149 really big fiscal decision, right? Because all the things that we want in 4050 01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:52,159 Because all the things that we want in 4051 01:16:52,159 --> 01:16:54,149 Because all the things that we want in all of our schools cost dollars. And 4052 01:16:54,149 --> 01:16:54,159 all of our schools cost dollars. And 4053 01:16:54,159 --> 01:16:55,510 all of our schools cost dollars. And that will just have to be part of the 4054 01:16:55,510 --> 01:16:55,520 that will just have to be part of the 4055 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:59,910 that will just have to be part of the conversation um into next year. And to 4056 01:16:59,910 --> 01:16:59,920 conversation um into next year. And to 4057 01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:01,669 conversation um into next year. And to Alex's point, the bigger maneuvers we 4058 01:17:01,669 --> 01:17:01,679 Alex's point, the bigger maneuvers we 4059 01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:03,189 Alex's point, the bigger maneuvers we have, the more dollars we have to free 4060 01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:03,199 have, the more dollars we have to free 4061 01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:04,709 have, the more dollars we have to free up to do all of the stuff that we've 4062 01:17:04,709 --> 01:17:04,719 up to do all of the stuff that we've 4063 01:17:04,719 --> 01:17:05,990 up to do all of the stuff that we've really heard loud and clear that our 4064 01:17:05,990 --> 01:17:06,000 really heard loud and clear that our 4065 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,669 really heard loud and clear that our community, our students, our staff, our 4066 01:17:07,669 --> 01:17:07,679 community, our students, our staff, our 4067 01:17:07,679 --> 01:17:10,630 community, our students, our staff, our families really do want.

And then finally um I've had the end same 4456 01:24:45,030 --> 01:24:45,040 then finally um I've had the end same 4457 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,830 then finally um I've had the end same criticism of our consolidation versus 4458 01:24:47,830 --> 01:24:47,840 criticism of our consolidation versus 4459 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,790 criticism of our consolidation versus close and you know distribute people and 4460 01:24:50,790 --> 01:24:50,800 close and you know distribute people and 4461 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,990 close and you know distribute people and I have the technical thing is I'm 4462 01:24:53,990 --> 01:24:54,000 I have the technical thing is I'm 4463 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,430 I have the technical thing is I'm starting to wrestle with doing two of 4464 01:24:55,430 --> 01:24:55,440 starting to wrestle with doing two of 4465 01:24:55,440 --> 01:24:56,950 starting to wrestle with doing two of these things three of these things at 4466 01:24:56,950 --> 01:24:56,960 these things three of these things at 4467 01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,790 these things three of these things at the same time and suddenly the 4468 01:24:58,790 --> 01:24:58,800 the same time and suddenly the 4469 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,790 the same time and suddenly the consolidation makes more sense to me 4470 01:25:00,790 --> 01:25:00,800 consolidation makes more sense to me 4471 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,350 consolidation makes more sense to me versus the merging. So like let's say we 4472 01:25:03,350 --> 01:25:03,360 versus the merging. So like let's say we 4473 01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,310 versus the merging. So like let's say we have three or four schools and three 4474 01:25:06,310 --> 01:25:06,320 have three or four schools and three 4475 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:07,830 have three or four schools and three neighborhood schools with catchment 4476 01:25:07,830 --> 01:25:07,840 neighborhood schools with catchment 4477 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,070 neighborhood schools with catchment zones. We actually make one of the 4478 01:25:10,070 --> 01:25:10,080 zones. We actually make one of the 4479 01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:12,070 zones. We actually make one of the schools become the new home of a focus 4480 01:25:12,070 --> 01:25:12,080 schools become the new home of a focus 4481 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:13,030 schools become the new home of a focus school because we said we're going to 4482 01:25:13,030 --> 01:25:13,040 school because we said we're going to 4483 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:14,950 school because we said we're going to move a focus school. Focus school goes 4484 01:25:14,950 --> 01:25:14,960 move a focus school. Focus school goes 4485 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:16,629 move a focus school. Focus school goes there. It doesn't have a catchment zone. 4486 01:25:16,629 --> 01:25:16,639 there. It doesn't have a catchment zone. 4487 01:25:16,639 --> 01:25:19,270 there. It doesn't have a catchment zone. So now we have three catchment zones of 4488 01:25:19,270 --> 01:25:19,280 So now we have three catchment zones of 4489 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,590 So now we have three catchment zones of kids but only two catchment zones of two 4490 01:25:21,590 --> 01:25:21,600 kids but only two catchment zones of two 4491 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,590 kids but only two catchment zones of two neighborhood schools and a focus school. 4492 01:25:23,590 --> 01:25:23,600 neighborhood schools and a focus school. 4493 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,270 neighborhood schools and a focus school. So suddenly we have merged those schools 4494 01:25:27,270 --> 01:25:27,280 So suddenly we have merged those schools 4495 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,189 So suddenly we have merged those schools and we haven't closed one but we've 4496 01:25:29,189 --> 01:25:29,199 and we haven't closed one but we've 4497 01:25:29,199 --> 01:25:30,790 and we haven't closed one but we've changed one of a neighborhood school 4498 01:25:30,790 --> 01:25:30,800 changed one of a neighborhood school 4499 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,590 changed one of a neighborhood school into a focus school. Um, so like that's 4500 01:25:33,590 --> 01:25:33,600 into a focus school. Um, so like that's 4501 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,189 into a focus school. Um, so like that's the kind of thing where you combine two 4502 01:25:35,189 --> 01:25:35,199 the kind of thing where you combine two 4503 01:25:35,199 --> 01:25:37,750 the kind of thing where you combine two or three things together and suddenly 4504 01:25:37,750 --> 01:25:37,760 or three things together and suddenly 4505 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,149 or three things together and suddenly your options start expanding even more. 4506 01:25:40,149 --> 01:25:40,159 your options start expanding even more. 4507 01:25:40,159 --> 01:25:41,910 your options start expanding even more. So like it's not just one thing. We're 4508 01:25:41,910 --> 01:25:41,920 So like it's not just one thing. We're 4509 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:43,830 So like it's not just one thing. We're going to do X here and we could do Y 4510 01:25:43,830 --> 01:25:43,840 going to do X here and we could do Y 4511 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,229 going to do X here and we could do Y here. We're going to do stuff for a 4512 01:25:46,229 --> 01:25:46,239 here. We're going to do stuff for a 4513 01:25:46,239 --> 01:25:48,229 here. We're going to do stuff for a neighborhood that involves all those 4514 01:25:48,229 --> 01:25:48,239 neighborhood that involves all those 4515 01:25:48,239 --> 01:25:55,669 neighborhood that involves all those things. So it'll be even more complex. 4516 01:25:55,669 --> 01:25:55,679 4517 01:25:55,679 --> 01:25:57,110 Board members, any other questions or 4518 01:25:57,110 --> 01:25:57,120 Board members, any other questions or 4519 01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:01,669 Board members, any other questions or comments? 4520 01:26:01,669 --> 01:26:01,679 4521 01:26:01,679 --> 01:26:02,629 >> Or are you gonna Oh, yes. 4522 01:26:02,629 --> 01:26:02,639 >> Or are you gonna Oh, yes. 4523 01:26:02,639 --> 01:26:05,510 >> Or are you gonna Oh, yes. >> We'll just cover this just to wrap up 4524 01:26:05,510 --> 01:26:05,520 >> We'll just cover this just to wrap up 4525 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,590 >> We'll just cover this just to wrap up the work session.

I also just 5546 01:44:38,950 --> 01:44:38,960 might not hang out with. I also just 5547 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,350 might not hang out with. I also just would say administratively, 5548 01:44:41,350 --> 01:44:41,360 would say administratively, 5549 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:44,149 would say administratively, you know, um these devices have 5550 01:44:44,149 --> 01:44:44,159 you know, um these devices have 5551 01:44:44,159 --> 01:44:46,470 you know, um these devices have quadrupled my workload over the years 5552 01:44:46,470 --> 01:44:46,480 quadrupled my workload over the years 5553 01:44:46,480 --> 01:44:49,030 quadrupled my workload over the years and I have felt a reduction in that in 5554 01:44:49,030 --> 01:44:49,040 and I have felt a reduction in that in 5555 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,590 and I have felt a reduction in that in terms of online behavior. Those kinds of 5556 01:44:51,590 --> 01:44:51,600 terms of online behavior. Those kinds of 5557 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,590 terms of online behavior. Those kinds of things have really reduced since we've 5558 01:44:53,590 --> 01:44:53,600 things have really reduced since we've 5559 01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,189 things have really reduced since we've done this. Um particularly during the 5560 01:44:55,189 --> 01:44:55,199 done this. Um particularly during the 5561 01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:57,189 done this. Um particularly during the school day evenings, we can't control 5562 01:44:57,189 --> 01:44:57,199 school day evenings, we can't control 5563 01:44:57,199 --> 01:44:58,310 school day evenings, we can't control that. So, we're still getting some 5564 01:44:58,310 --> 01:44:58,320 that. So, we're still getting some 5565 01:44:58,320 --> 01:44:59,830 that. So, we're still getting some stuff, but during the school day, we we 5566 01:44:59,830 --> 01:44:59,840 stuff, but during the school day, we we 5567 01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:03,270 stuff, but during the school day, we we do see less. So, 5568 01:45:03,270 --> 01:45:03,280 do see less. So, 5569 01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,430 do see less. So, >> um I would just say the kids said this, 5570 01:45:05,430 --> 01:45:05,440 >> um I would just say the kids said this, 5571 01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:07,189 >> um I would just say the kids said this, too. Just the classroom environments 5572 01:45:07,189 --> 01:45:07,199 too. Just the classroom environments 5573 01:45:07,199 --> 01:45:09,590 too. Just the classroom environments have changed. I think the they'll point 5574 01:45:09,590 --> 01:45:09,600 have changed. I think the they'll point 5575 01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:11,430 have changed. I think the they'll point out when teachers might have differences 5576 01:45:11,430 --> 01:45:11,440 out when teachers might have differences 5577 01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:14,070 out when teachers might have differences of of how they enforce the policy, but 5578 01:45:14,070 --> 01:45:14,080 of of how they enforce the policy, but 5579 01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:17,430 of of how they enforce the policy, but whether you see the the shoe racks where 5580 01:45:17,430 --> 01:45:17,440 whether you see the the shoe racks where 5581 01:45:17,440 --> 01:45:18,950 whether you see the the shoe racks where they put the phones up or they're in 5582 01:45:18,950 --> 01:45:18,960 they put the phones up or they're in 5583 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:20,550 they put the phones up or they're in their backpacks, there's far less of 5584 01:45:20,550 --> 01:45:20,560 their backpacks, there's far less of 5585 01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,149 their backpacks, there's far less of them being hidden under desks and just 5586 01:45:22,149 --> 01:45:22,159 them being hidden under desks and just 5587 01:45:22,159 --> 01:45:24,629 them being hidden under desks and just sort of this sort of complicitness that 5588 01:45:24,629 --> 01:45:24,639 sort of this sort of complicitness that 5589 01:45:24,639 --> 01:45:26,709 sort of this sort of complicitness that they would be around. So I think the 5590 01:45:26,709 --> 01:45:26,719 they would be around. So I think the 5591 01:45:26,719 --> 01:45:28,390 they would be around. So I think the classroom environment for me would be 5592 01:45:28,390 --> 01:45:28,400 classroom environment for me would be 5593 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,189 classroom environment for me would be the celebration is is feeling that 5594 01:45:31,189 --> 01:45:31,199 the celebration is is feeling that 5595 01:45:31,199 --> 01:45:34,149 the celebration is is feeling that relief that for that period of time that 5596 01:45:34,149 --> 01:45:34,159 relief that for that period of time that 5597 01:45:34,159 --> 01:45:35,590 relief that for that period of time that universally most people understand that 5598 01:45:35,590 --> 01:45:35,600 universally most people understand that 5599 01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,390 universally most people understand that they're going to be away. 5600 01:45:38,390 --> 01:45:38,400 they're going to be away. 5601 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,350 they're going to be away. Um, I think the challenges just remain 5602 01:45:41,350 --> 01:45:41,360 Um, I think the challenges just remain 5603 01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,070 Um, I think the challenges just remain that uh they're on their person. And so 5604 01:45:44,070 --> 01:45:44,080 that uh they're on their person. And so 5605 01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:46,470 that uh they're on their person. And so when you got an open campus and kids are 5606 01:45:46,470 --> 01:45:46,480 when you got an open campus and kids are 5607 01:45:46,480 --> 01:45:48,629 when you got an open campus and kids are coming and going and they do have 5608 01:45:48,629 --> 01:45:48,639 coming and going and they do have 5609 01:45:48,639 --> 01:45:50,629 coming and going and they do have passing periods, uh, you know, 5610 01:45:50,629 --> 01:45:50,639 passing periods, uh, you know, 5611 01:45:50,639 --> 01:45:53,270 passing periods, uh, you know, admittedly, if you walk into Monarch and 5612 01:45:53,270 --> 01:45:53,280 admittedly, if you walk into Monarch and 5613 01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:54,950 admittedly, if you walk into Monarch and I'm not there and there's not three 5614 01:45:54,950 --> 01:45:54,960 I'm not there and there's not three 5615 01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:57,910 I'm not there and there's not three security guards and you're just a passer 5616 01:45:57,910 --> 01:45:57,920 security guards and you're just a passer 5617 01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,470 security guards and you're just a passer by, uh, you'll see some phones. And I 5618 01:46:00,470 --> 01:46:00,480 by, uh, you'll see some phones. And I 5619 01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:02,390 by, uh, you'll see some phones. And I think the the part of it is is the kids 5620 01:46:02,390 --> 01:46:02,400 think the the part of it is is the kids 5621 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,470 think the the part of it is is the kids are not oppositionally defiant. They're 5622 01:46:04,470 --> 01:46:04,480 are not oppositionally defiant. They're 5623 01:46:04,480 --> 01:46:06,550 are not oppositionally defiant. They're not mean or mad at you, but they're 5624 01:46:06,550 --> 01:46:06,560 not mean or mad at you, but they're 5625 01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:07,830 not mean or mad at you, but they're going to take a chance. If nobody's 5626 01:46:07,830 --> 01:46:07,840 going to take a chance. If nobody's 5627 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:08,870 going to take a chance. If nobody's seeing them, they're going to get their 5628 01:46:08,870 --> 01:46:08,880 seeing them, they're going to get their 5629 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:10,229 seeing them, they're going to get their phone out and they're going to use it. 5630 01:46:10,229 --> 01:46:10,239 phone out and they're going to use it. 5631 01:46:10,239 --> 01:46:11,590 phone out and they're going to use it. And if you tell them to put it away, 5632 01:46:11,590 --> 01:46:11,600 And if you tell them to put it away, 5633 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,149 And if you tell them to put it away, they'll politely put it away. So, I just 5634 01:46:14,149 --> 01:46:14,159 they'll politely put it away. So, I just 5635 01:46:14,159 --> 01:46:16,149 they'll politely put it away. So, I just think it's that challenge of what our 5636 01:46:16,149 --> 01:46:16,159 think it's that challenge of what our 5637 01:46:16,159 --> 01:46:18,709 think it's that challenge of what our campuses are. When you've got, you know, 5638 01:46:18,709 --> 01:46:18,719 campuses are. When you've got, you know, 5639 01:46:18,719 --> 01:46:20,790 campuses are. When you've got, you know, a couple thousand students and it's a 5640 01:46:20,790 --> 01:46:20,800 a couple thousand students and it's a 5641 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:22,870 a couple thousand students and it's a couple of you versus them. It's just not 5642 01:46:22,870 --> 01:46:22,880 couple of you versus them. It's just not 5643 01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:24,790 couple of you versus them. It's just not a pure system. And so, it's hard to 5644 01:46:24,790 --> 01:46:24,800 a pure system. And so, it's hard to 5645 01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:26,790 a pure system. And so, it's hard to really say that it's completely taken 5646 01:46:26,790 --> 01:46:26,800 really say that it's completely taken 5647 01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:29,270 really say that it's completely taken care of. And to John's point, you just 5648 01:46:29,270 --> 01:46:29,280 care of. And to John's point, you just 5649 01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:30,229 care of. And to John's point, you just you always feel like you're playing 5650 01:46:30,229 --> 01:46:30,239 you always feel like you're playing 5651 01:46:30,239 --> 01:46:31,910 you always feel like you're playing catch-up, right? you're trying to to 5652 01:46:31,910 --> 01:46:31,920 catch-up, right? you're trying to to 5653 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,270 catch-up, right? you're trying to to catch the next one and make sure it's 5654 01:46:33,270 --> 01:46:33,280 catch the next one and make sure it's 5655 01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:35,750 catch the next one and make sure it's not happening. Um, and so that doesn't 5656 01:46:35,750 --> 01:46:35,760 not happening. Um, and so that doesn't 5657 01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:37,669 not happening. Um, and so that doesn't always feel good. 5658 01:46:37,669 --> 01:46:37,679 always feel good. 5659 01:46:37,679 --> 01:46:39,430 always feel good. >> Well, you know, depending on your 5660 01:46:39,430 --> 01:46:39,440 >> Well, you know, depending on your 5661 01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:42,229 >> Well, you know, depending on your perspective, pluses and minuses, how one 5662 01:46:42,229 --> 01:46:42,239 perspective, pluses and minuses, how one 5663 01:46:42,239 --> 01:46:44,390 perspective, pluses and minuses, how one adult approaches a student who has a 5664 01:46:44,390 --> 01:46:44,400 adult approaches a student who has a 5665 01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:45,910 adult approaches a student who has a phone versus how another adult 5666 01:46:45,910 --> 01:46:45,920 phone versus how another adult 5667 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,229 phone versus how another adult approaches. So, we're having to manage 5668 01:46:48,229 --> 01:46:48,239 approaches. So, we're having to manage 5669 01:46:48,239 --> 01:46:50,709 approaches. So, we're having to manage the big people also in this in terms of 5670 01:46:50,709 --> 01:46:50,719 the big people also in this in terms of 5671 01:46:50,719 --> 01:46:53,030 the big people also in this in terms of like, you know, you know, what's the 5672 01:46:53,030 --> 01:46:53,040 like, you know, you know, what's the 5673 01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,590 like, you know, you know, what's the right sized response in any given 5674 01:46:55,590 --> 01:46:55,600 right sized response in any given 5675 01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,229 right sized response in any given situation. And so that's you know it's 5676 01:46:58,229 --> 01:46:58,239 situation. And so that's you know it's 5677 01:46:58,239 --> 01:46:59,910 situation. And so that's you know it's another place for us to look for 5678 01:46:59,910 --> 01:46:59,920 another place for us to look for 5679 01:46:59,920 --> 01:47:02,310 another place for us to look for collective e efficacy amongst our 5680 01:47:02,310 --> 01:47:02,320 collective e efficacy amongst our 5681 01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:04,870 collective e efficacy amongst our faculty and you know it's good if we can 5682 01:47:04,870 --> 01:47:04,880 faculty and you know it's good if we can 5683 01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:06,629 faculty and you know it's good if we can view it. I think it's been tricky 5684 01:47:06,629 --> 01:47:06,639 view it. I think it's been tricky 5685 01:47:06,639 --> 01:47:09,270 view it. I think it's been tricky because some teachers are like I don't 5686 01:47:09,270 --> 01:47:09,280 because some teachers are like I don't 5687 01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:11,109 because some teachers are like I don't that's not my thing. I I don't want to 5688 01:47:11,109 --> 01:47:11,119 that's not my thing. I I don't want to 5689 01:47:11,119 --> 01:47:12,390 that's not my thing.

I've not seen an uptake uptick in 5878 01:50:46,629 --> 01:50:46,639 well. I've not seen an uptake uptick in 5879 01:50:46,639 --> 01:50:48,229 well. I've not seen an uptake uptick in the disproportionate discipline. I think 5880 01:50:48,229 --> 01:50:48,239 the disproportionate discipline. I think 5881 01:50:48,239 --> 01:50:49,990 the disproportionate discipline. I think the last data we looked at said you know 5882 01:50:49,990 --> 01:50:50,000 the last data we looked at said you know 5883 01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,390 the last data we looked at said you know is that we're continuing to decline and 5884 01:50:52,390 --> 01:50:52,400 is that we're continuing to decline and 5885 01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:53,990 is that we're continuing to decline and so there's some some I think some 5886 01:50:53,990 --> 01:50:54,000 so there's some some I think some 5887 01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,629 so there's some some I think some competing tensions there as well to get 5888 01:50:56,629 --> 01:50:56,639 competing tensions there as well to get 5889 01:50:56,639 --> 01:51:00,310 competing tensions there as well to get to closer to 100% compliance but also 5890 01:51:00,310 --> 01:51:00,320 to closer to 100% compliance but also 5891 01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,350 to closer to 100% compliance but also not um not doing that in a way that 5892 01:51:03,350 --> 01:51:03,360 not um not doing that in a way that 5893 01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,270 not um not doing that in a way that creates more conflict and damages the 5894 01:51:05,270 --> 01:51:05,280 creates more conflict and damages the 5895 01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:06,709 creates more conflict and damages the relationships that we're really trying 5896 01:51:06,709 --> 01:51:06,719 relationships that we're really trying 5897 01:51:06,719 --> 01:51:09,510 relationships that we're really trying so hard to build with our kids. So, um, 5898 01:51:09,510 --> 01:51:09,520 so hard to build with our kids. So, um, 5899 01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:11,189 so hard to build with our kids. So, um, just wanted to thank everybody, give a 5900 01:51:11,189 --> 01:51:11,199 just wanted to thank everybody, give a 5901 01:51:11,199 --> 01:51:13,109 just wanted to thank everybody, give a little more context and and excited to 5902 01:51:13,109 --> 01:51:13,119 little more context and and excited to 5903 01:51:13,119 --> 01:51:18,310 little more context and and excited to hear your questions. 5904 01:51:18,310 --> 01:51:18,320 5905 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:20,149 Deian, 5906 01:51:20,149 --> 01:51:20,159 Deian, 5907 01:51:20,159 --> 01:51:21,510 Deian, I don't know if you all are have been 5908 01:51:21,510 --> 01:51:21,520 I don't know if you all are have been 5909 01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,390 I don't know if you all are have been able to pay attention to uh things 5910 01:51:24,390 --> 01:51:24,400 able to pay attention to uh things 5911 01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:26,390 able to pay attention to uh things outside of school in the last few weeks, 5912 01:51:26,390 --> 01:51:26,400 outside of school in the last few weeks, 5913 01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:28,950 outside of school in the last few weeks, but there's been some interesting uh 5914 01:51:28,950 --> 01:51:28,960 but there's been some interesting uh 5915 01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:32,070 but there's been some interesting uh debates among the governor's candidates. 5916 01:51:32,070 --> 01:51:32,080 debates among the governor's candidates. 5917 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:35,109 debates among the governor's candidates. And 100% of them have said that they 5918 01:51:35,109 --> 01:51:35,119 And 100% of them have said that they 5919 01:51:35,119 --> 01:51:37,750 And 100% of them have said that they want to ban all cell phones in all 5920 01:51:37,750 --> 01:51:37,760 want to ban all cell phones in all 5921 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:39,430 want to ban all cell phones in all schools, 5922 01:51:39,430 --> 01:51:39,440 schools, 5923 01:51:39,440 --> 01:51:43,030 schools, including needing to lock them away. So, 5924 01:51:43,030 --> 01:51:43,040 including needing to lock them away. So, 5925 01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:44,870 including needing to lock them away. So, I wondered if any of you have heard 5926 01:51:44,870 --> 01:51:44,880 I wondered if any of you have heard 5927 01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:50,229 I wondered if any of you have heard those those um ideas. They are now um 5928 01:51:50,229 --> 01:51:50,239 those those um ideas. They are now um 5929 01:51:50,239 --> 01:51:51,830 those those um ideas. They are now um and how you would handle it if you 5930 01:51:51,830 --> 01:51:51,840 and how you would handle it if you 5931 01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:59,750 and how you would handle it if you needed to do more control. 5932 01:51:59,750 --> 01:51:59,760 5933 01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:01,669 So, with the conclusion of the school 5934 01:52:01,669 --> 01:52:01,679 So, with the conclusion of the school 5935 01:52:01,679 --> 01:52:03,030 So, with the conclusion of the school year, we are standing back here saying, 5936 01:52:03,030 --> 01:52:03,040 year, we are standing back here saying, 5937 01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:04,790 year, we are standing back here saying, "No, those are the things that we catch 5938 01:52:04,790 --> 01:52:04,800 "No, those are the things that we catch 5939 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,910 "No, those are the things that we catch up on in the summer." But you're you're 5940 01:52:07,910 --> 01:52:07,920 up on in the summer." But you're you're 5941 01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,870 up on in the summer." But you're you're right in terms of what John shared with 5942 01:52:10,870 --> 01:52:10,880 right in terms of what John shared with 5943 01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,589 right in terms of what John shared with us in particular and what we heard from 5944 01:52:13,589 --> 01:52:13,599 us in particular and what we heard from 5945 01:52:13,599 --> 01:52:15,430 us in particular and what we heard from some of the students uh whose 5946 01:52:15,430 --> 01:52:15,440 some of the students uh whose 5947 01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:17,750 some of the students uh whose perspectives are shared in the video. 5948 01:52:17,750 --> 01:52:17,760 perspectives are shared in the video. 5949 01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:20,390 perspectives are shared in the video. That is that's another level of 5950 01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:20,400 That is that's another level of 5951 01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,870 That is that's another level of implementation and another level of 5952 01:52:22,870 --> 01:52:22,880 implementation and another level of 5953 01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:26,390 implementation and another level of understanding why. And so that would be 5954 01:52:26,390 --> 01:52:26,400 understanding why. And so that would be 5955 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,950 understanding why. And so that would be a different conversation and one that 5956 01:52:28,950 --> 01:52:28,960 a different conversation and one that 5957 01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:30,950 a different conversation and one that they would really need to approach 5958 01:52:30,950 --> 01:52:30,960 they would really need to approach 5959 01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:33,189 they would really need to approach carefully and differently 5960 01:52:33,189 --> 01:52:33,199 carefully and differently 5961 01:52:33,199 --> 01:52:36,790 carefully and differently with with students. And we saw in the 5962 01:52:36,790 --> 01:52:36,800 with with students. And we saw in the 5963 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:38,390 with with students. And we saw in the video that much of what students shared 5964 01:52:38,390 --> 01:52:38,400 video that much of what students shared 5965 01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:41,109 video that much of what students shared is all right well it's on my person and 5966 01:52:41,109 --> 01:52:41,119 is all right well it's on my person and 5967 01:52:41,119 --> 01:52:43,510 is all right well it's on my person and we heard concern around 5968 01:52:43,510 --> 01:52:43,520 we heard concern around 5969 01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:45,750 we heard concern around uh emergencies 5970 01:52:45,750 --> 01:52:45,760 uh emergencies 5971 01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:48,629 uh emergencies uh family contact needs things like 5972 01:52:48,629 --> 01:52:48,639 uh family contact needs things like 5973 01:52:48,639 --> 01:52:51,750 uh family contact needs things like that. And so some of our students also 5974 01:52:51,750 --> 01:52:51,760 that. And so some of our students also 5975 01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:53,910 that. And so some of our students also shared that they have their their phones 5976 01:52:53,910 --> 01:52:53,920 shared that they have their their phones 5977 01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:55,430 shared that they have their their phones in their pockets. They don't take them 5978 01:52:55,430 --> 01:52:55,440 in their pockets. They don't take them 5979 01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:57,990 in their pockets. They don't take them out. It's all okay. And so needing to 5980 01:52:57,990 --> 01:52:58,000 out. It's all okay. And so needing to 5981 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,589 out. It's all okay. And so needing to put them away would be a very different 5982 01:53:01,589 --> 01:53:01,599 put them away would be a very different 5983 01:53:01,599 --> 01:53:03,510 put them away would be a very different conversation and a different approach 5984 01:53:03,510 --> 01:53:03,520 conversation and a different approach 5985 01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:04,870 conversation and a different approach that we would need to take with 5986 01:53:04,870 --> 01:53:04,880 that we would need to take with 5987 01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:07,430 that we would need to take with students. 5988 01:53:07,430 --> 01:53:07,440 students. 5989 01:53:07,440 --> 01:53:09,109 students. I was going to part of this conversation 5990 01:53:09,109 --> 01:53:09,119 I was going to part of this conversation 5991 01:53:09,119 --> 01:53:12,149 I was going to part of this conversation I think is amplified because of um a 5992 01:53:12,149 --> 01:53:12,159 I think is amplified because of um a 5993 01:53:12,159 --> 01:53:14,070 I think is amplified because of um a house bill that passed in 2025 requiring 5994 01:53:14,070 --> 01:53:14,080 house bill that passed in 2025 requiring 5995 01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:15,669 house bill that passed in 2025 requiring all schools in the state of Colorado to 5996 01:53:15,669 --> 01:53:15,679 all schools in the state of Colorado to 5997 01:53:15,679 --> 01:53:18,470 all schools in the state of Colorado to have a policy in place by July 1st of 5998 01:53:18,470 --> 01:53:18,480 have a policy in place by July 1st of 5999 01:53:18,480 --> 01:53:20,870 have a policy in place by July 1st of this year. So I think it's on the 6000 01:53:20,870 --> 01:53:20,880 this year. So I think it's on the 6001 01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,229 this year. So I think it's on the forefront of districts that didn't take 6002 01:53:22,229 --> 01:53:22,239 forefront of districts that didn't take 6003 01:53:22,239 --> 01:53:24,629 forefront of districts that didn't take an earlier step and then the governor's 6004 01:53:24,629 --> 01:53:24,639 an earlier step and then the governor's 6005 01:53:24,639 --> 01:53:28,629 an earlier step and then the governor's um that's expensive and so I would love 6006 01:53:28,629 --> 01:53:28,639 um that's expensive and so I would love 6007 01:53:28,639 --> 01:53:30,070 um that's expensive and so I would love if as we think about our legislative 6008 01:53:30,070 --> 01:53:30,080 if as we think about our legislative 6009 01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:32,070 if as we think about our legislative platforms we know when there's mandates 6010 01:53:32,070 --> 01:53:32,080 platforms we know when there's mandates 6011 01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:33,430 platforms we know when there's mandates that we also get the funding to 6012 01:53:33,430 --> 01:53:33,440 that we also get the funding to 6013 01:53:33,440 --> 01:53:35,030 that we also get the funding to implement said mandate from the 6014 01:53:35,030 --> 01:53:35,040 implement said mandate from the 6015 01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:36,950 implement said mandate from the government. So hopefully those governors 6016 01:53:36,950 --> 01:53:36,960 government. So hopefully those governors 6017 01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:38,629 government. So hopefully those governors are having that conversation as well of 6018 01:53:38,629 --> 01:53:38,639 are having that conversation as well of 6019 01:53:38,639 --> 01:53:41,109 are having that conversation as well of how they'll help us afford those pouches 6020 01:53:41,109 --> 01:53:41,119 how they'll help us afford those pouches 6021 01:53:41,119 --> 01:53:44,390 how they'll help us afford those pouches that get broken and lost and all the 6022 01:53:44,390 --> 01:53:44,400 that get broken and lost and all the 6023 01:53:44,400 --> 01:53:48,390 that get broken and lost and all the things um should they really want us to 6024 01:53:48,390 --> 01:53:48,400 things um should they really want us to 6025 01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:51,750 things um should they really want us to do that.

But it is fun to see those kids 6064 01:54:36,790 --> 01:54:36,800 great. But it is fun to see those kids 6065 01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:38,950 great. But it is fun to see those kids playing hackysack. Sometimes I hear in 6066 01:54:38,950 --> 01:54:38,960 playing hackysack. Sometimes I hear in 6067 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,430 playing hackysack. Sometimes I hear in crowded hallways during passing periods, 6068 01:54:41,430 --> 01:54:41,440 crowded hallways during passing periods, 6069 01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:42,709 crowded hallways during passing periods, but at least they're not on their 6070 01:54:42,709 --> 01:54:42,719 but at least they're not on their 6071 01:54:42,719 --> 01:54:44,950 but at least they're not on their phones. 6072 01:54:44,950 --> 01:54:44,960 phones. 6073 01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:46,870 phones. >> Alex, I saw your hand up and then Elena. 6074 01:54:46,870 --> 01:54:46,880 >> Alex, I saw your hand up and then Elena. 6075 01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:49,430 >> Alex, I saw your hand up and then Elena. >> Yeah.

I 6080 01:54:53,669 --> 01:54:53,679 hard work that it takes to do this. I 6081 01:54:53,679 --> 01:54:55,589 hard work that it takes to do this. I was one of many people on the board who 6082 01:54:55,589 --> 01:54:55,599 was one of many people on the board who 6083 01:54:55,599 --> 01:54:58,229 was one of many people on the board who are all in on this and I remain all in 6084 01:54:58,229 --> 01:54:58,239 are all in on this and I remain all in 6085 01:54:58,239 --> 01:55:00,310 are all in on this and I remain all in on this. Uh, I alluded to my 6086 01:55:00,310 --> 01:55:00,320 on this. Uh, I alluded to my 6087 01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:01,669 on this. Uh, I alluded to my conversation with Fairview students. The 6088 01:55:01,669 --> 01:55:01,679 conversation with Fairview students. The 6089 01:55:01,679 --> 01:55:03,510 conversation with Fairview students. The initial part was to ask them about cell 6090 01:55:03,510 --> 01:55:03,520 initial part was to ask them about cell 6091 01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,430 initial part was to ask them about cell phone implementation. And so as opposed 6092 01:55:05,430 --> 01:55:05,440 phone implementation. And so as opposed 6093 01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:08,390 phone implementation. And so as opposed to the 76,000 data points that um the 6094 01:55:08,390 --> 01:55:08,400 to the 76,000 data points that um the 6095 01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:09,830 to the 76,000 data points that um the data team shared with us on declining 6096 01:55:09,830 --> 01:55:09,840 data team shared with us on declining 6097 01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:12,470 data team shared with us on declining enrollment, I have five. But their uh 6098 01:55:12,470 --> 01:55:12,480 enrollment, I have five. But their uh 6099 01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:15,189 enrollment, I have five. But their uh reports are of 10 or 15% of the Fairview 6100 01:55:15,189 --> 01:55:15,199 reports are of 10 or 15% of the Fairview 6101 01:55:15,199 --> 01:55:16,950 reports are of 10 or 15% of the Fairview teachers who think it's a great thing. 6102 01:55:16,950 --> 01:55:16,960 teachers who think it's a great thing. 6103 01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:19,109 teachers who think it's a great thing. About 50% real enforcement in the 6104 01:55:19,109 --> 01:55:19,119 About 50% real enforcement in the 6105 01:55:19,119 --> 01:55:21,189 About 50% real enforcement in the classroom. So like every other teacher 6106 01:55:21,189 --> 01:55:21,199 classroom. So like every other teacher 6107 01:55:21,199 --> 01:55:23,109 classroom. So like every other teacher doesn't really care. They have class 6108 01:55:23,109 --> 01:55:23,119 doesn't really care. They have class 6109 01:55:23,119 --> 01:55:24,310 doesn't really care. They have class they report being able to have their 6110 01:55:24,310 --> 01:55:24,320 they report being able to have their 6111 01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:26,709 they report being able to have their phones out in class. It's okay. They 6112 01:55:26,709 --> 01:55:26,719 phones out in class. It's okay. They 6113 01:55:26,719 --> 01:55:28,629 phones out in class. It's okay. They won't be told might be told to put away 6114 01:55:28,629 --> 01:55:28,639 won't be told might be told to put away 6115 01:55:28,639 --> 01:55:30,070 won't be told might be told to put away might not. probably in half their 6116 01:55:30,070 --> 01:55:30,080 might not. probably in half their 6117 01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:32,470 might not. probably in half their classes they're not as long as no one's 6118 01:55:32,470 --> 01:55:32,480 classes they're not as long as no one's 6119 01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:34,629 classes they're not as long as no one's around there's only one or two security 6120 01:55:34,629 --> 01:55:34,639 around there's only one or two security 6121 01:55:34,639 --> 01:55:36,470 around there's only one or two security officials in the whole building who are 6122 01:55:36,470 --> 01:55:36,480 officials in the whole building who are 6123 01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:38,470 officials in the whole building who are asking them to put them away. So the 6124 01:55:38,470 --> 01:55:38,480 asking them to put them away. So the 6125 01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:41,430 asking them to put them away. So the story I have from my small end is a much 6126 01:55:41,430 --> 01:55:41,440 story I have from my small end is a much 6127 01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:43,510 story I have from my small end is a much less implementation than you've 6128 01:55:43,510 --> 01:55:43,520 less implementation than you've 6129 01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:46,070 less implementation than you've described in your schools and uh it's 6130 01:55:46,070 --> 01:55:46,080 described in your schools and uh it's 6131 01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:47,830 described in your schools and uh it's great to see the voice from the video 6132 01:55:47,830 --> 01:55:47,840 great to see the voice from the video 6133 01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:50,310 great to see the voice from the video and I'm super pleased by all of that. 6134 01:55:50,310 --> 01:55:50,320 and I'm super pleased by all of that. 6135 01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:52,070 and I'm super pleased by all of that.

I don't know if you guys paid attention to 6162 01:56:21,510 --> 01:56:21,520 don't know if you guys paid attention to 6163 01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:23,669 don't know if you guys paid attention to the graduations where kids were 6164 01:56:23,669 --> 01:56:23,679 the graduations where kids were 6165 01:56:23,679 --> 01:56:25,910 the graduations where kids were graduates were booing about AI 6166 01:56:25,910 --> 01:56:25,920 graduates were booing about AI 6167 01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:28,790 graduates were booing about AI discussions and our kids are super 6168 01:56:28,790 --> 01:56:28,800 discussions and our kids are super 6169 01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:30,390 discussions and our kids are super savvy. And so again, what I see 6170 01:56:30,390 --> 01:56:30,400 savvy. And so again, what I see 6171 01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:32,390 savvy. And so again, what I see happening is 6172 01:56:32,390 --> 01:56:32,400 happening is 6173 01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:33,990 happening is kids are getting their phones out 6174 01:56:33,990 --> 01:56:34,000 kids are getting their phones out 6175 01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,149 kids are getting their phones out because they have a job requirement and 6176 01:56:36,149 --> 01:56:36,159 because they have a job requirement and 6177 01:56:36,159 --> 01:56:37,510 because they have a job requirement and they're in the hallway and like I got to 6178 01:56:37,510 --> 01:56:37,520 they're in the hallway and like I got to 6179 01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:39,589 they're in the hallway and like I got to get a hold of my boss. Again, I I agree 6180 01:56:39,589 --> 01:56:39,599 get a hold of my boss. Again, I I agree 6181 01:56:39,599 --> 01:56:40,790 get a hold of my boss. Again, I I agree with you of what you're seeing in 6182 01:56:40,790 --> 01:56:40,800 with you of what you're seeing in 6183 01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,750 with you of what you're seeing in classrooms, but I guess I am seeing and 6184 01:56:43,750 --> 01:56:43,760 classrooms, but I guess I am seeing and 6185 01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:47,270 classrooms, but I guess I am seeing and it does take time is the opposition to 6186 01:56:47,270 --> 01:56:47,280 it does take time is the opposition to 6187 01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,870 it does take time is the opposition to it to me is a lot of logistical things 6188 01:56:50,870 --> 01:56:50,880 it to me is a lot of logistical things 6189 01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:53,030 it to me is a lot of logistical things that they see their phone use for. They 6190 01:56:53,030 --> 01:56:53,040 that they see their phone use for. They 6191 01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:54,790 that they see their phone use for. They totally get and understand they 6192 01:56:54,790 --> 01:56:54,800 totally get and understand they 6193 01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:56,470 totally get and understand they shouldn't be doing social media. They 6194 01:56:56,470 --> 01:56:56,480 shouldn't be doing social media. They 6195 01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:59,109 shouldn't be doing social media. They shouldn't be using it to cheat. Like all 6196 01:56:59,109 --> 01:56:59,119 shouldn't be using it to cheat. Like all 6197 01:56:59,119 --> 01:57:04,149 shouldn't be using it to cheat. Like all the wise are there. Um and I agree with 6198 01:57:04,149 --> 01:57:04,159 the wise are there. Um and I agree with 6199 01:57:04,159 --> 01:57:06,390 the wise are there. Um and I agree with you because it's on them. it's 6200 01:57:06,390 --> 01:57:06,400 you because it's on them. it's 6201 01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:08,070 you because it's on them. it's inevitable that they're going to access 6202 01:57:08,070 --> 01:57:08,080 inevitable that they're going to access 6203 01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,149 inevitable that they're going to access those different things. And so I've 6204 01:57:10,149 --> 01:57:10,159 those different things. And so I've 6205 01:57:10,159 --> 01:57:12,709 those different things. And so I've always, you know, we never did a ban, 6206 01:57:12,709 --> 01:57:12,719 always, you know, we never did a ban, 6207 01:57:12,719 --> 01:57:15,430 always, you know, we never did a ban, right? It wasn't a ban. It was an ask to 6208 01:57:15,430 --> 01:57:15,440 right? It wasn't a ban. It was an ask to 6209 01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:17,750 right? It wasn't a ban. It was an ask to to reconstruct some things and figure 6210 01:57:17,750 --> 01:57:17,760 to reconstruct some things and figure 6211 01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:20,709 to reconstruct some things and figure out where it is. And a ban would require 6212 01:57:20,709 --> 01:57:20,719 out where it is. And a ban would require 6213 01:57:20,719 --> 01:57:22,310 out where it is. And a ban would require the level of things that some other 6214 01:57:22,310 --> 01:57:22,320 the level of things that some other 6215 01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:25,589 the level of things that some other governors would talk about. And I just I 6216 01:57:25,589 --> 01:57:25,599 governors would talk about. And I just I 6217 01:57:25,599 --> 01:57:27,270 governors would talk about. And I just I can't conceive of that again 6218 01:57:27,270 --> 01:57:27,280 can't conceive of that again 6219 01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:29,589 can't conceive of that again conceptually with off periods and 6220 01:57:29,589 --> 01:57:29,599 conceptually with off periods and 6221 01:57:29,599 --> 01:57:31,270 conceptually with off periods and everything else and how do you manage 6222 01:57:31,270 --> 01:57:31,280 everything else and how do you manage 6223 01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:36,790 everything else and how do you manage that? And to me, trying to get them to 6224 01:57:36,790 --> 01:57:36,800 that? And to me, trying to get them to 6225 01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:38,950 that? And to me, trying to get them to uh work within the systems that are best 6226 01:57:38,950 --> 01:57:38,960 uh work within the systems that are best 6227 01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:41,750 uh work within the systems that are best for them, it's going to take time. I 6228 01:57:41,750 --> 01:57:41,760 for them, it's going to take time. I 6229 01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:43,270 for them, it's going to take time. I guess that's the ultimate thing is it's 6230 01:57:43,270 --> 01:57:43,280 guess that's the ultimate thing is it's 6231 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,910 guess that's the ultimate thing is it's not an easy one class fix. It takes like 6232 01:57:45,910 --> 01:57:45,920 not an easy one class fix. It takes like 6233 01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:47,669 not an easy one class fix. It takes like generation of kids to kind of move 6234 01:57:47,669 --> 01:57:47,679 generation of kids to kind of move 6235 01:57:47,679 --> 01:57:50,070 generation of kids to kind of move through a school in my mind to have them 6236 01:57:50,070 --> 01:57:50,080 through a school in my mind to have them 6237 01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:51,910 through a school in my mind to have them see that. Uh because when I talk to like 6238 01:57:51,910 --> 01:57:51,920 see that. Uh because when I talk to like 6239 01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:53,430 see that. Uh because when I talk to like middle school principles, obviously they 6240 01:57:53,430 --> 01:57:53,440 middle school principles, obviously they 6241 01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:55,430 middle school principles, obviously they have lockers and places they can put 6242 01:57:55,430 --> 01:57:55,440 have lockers and places they can put 6243 01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:57,990 have lockers and places they can put them.

Uh and so to the extent that there are schools where 6472 02:02:20,629 --> 02:02:20,639 the extent that there are schools where 6473 02:02:20,639 --> 02:02:23,669 the extent that there are schools where we we we begin to collect data and 6474 02:02:23,669 --> 02:02:23,679 we we we begin to collect data and 6475 02:02:23,679 --> 02:02:25,589 we we we begin to collect data and information where there's just a level 6476 02:02:25,589 --> 02:02:25,599 information where there's just a level 6477 02:02:25,599 --> 02:02:27,589 information where there's just a level of apathy around doing something that's 6478 02:02:27,589 --> 02:02:27,599 of apathy around doing something that's 6479 02:02:27,599 --> 02:02:29,270 of apathy around doing something that's important, I think that there's ways you 6480 02:02:29,270 --> 02:02:29,280 important, I think that there's ways you 6481 02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:30,550 important, I think that there's ways you can collect data. I mean, we're in 6482 02:02:30,550 --> 02:02:30,560 can collect data. I mean, we're in 6483 02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:31,990 can collect data. I mean, we're in classrooms all the time. You can collect 6484 02:02:31,990 --> 02:02:32,000 classrooms all the time. You can collect 6485 02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:35,030 classrooms all the time. You can collect classroom data. Um you can look at who's 6486 02:02:35,030 --> 02:02:35,040 classroom data. Um you can look at who's 6487 02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:36,470 classroom data. Um you can look at who's turning in the phones, who isn't turning 6488 02:02:36,470 --> 02:02:36,480 turning in the phones, who isn't turning 6489 02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:38,149 turning in the phones, who isn't turning in the phones, what's happening, having 6490 02:02:38,149 --> 02:02:38,159 in the phones, what's happening, having 6491 02:02:38,159 --> 02:02:40,709 in the phones, what's happening, having those conversations. Um I think that 6492 02:02:40,709 --> 02:02:40,719 those conversations. Um I think that 6493 02:02:40,719 --> 02:02:43,830 those conversations. Um I think that students are able to go to um 6494 02:02:43,830 --> 02:02:43,840 students are able to go to um 6495 02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:45,510 students are able to go to um administrators if they feel like that 6496 02:02:45,510 --> 02:02:45,520 administrators if they feel like that 6497 02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:47,830 administrators if they feel like that there's you know a lack of enforcement 6498 02:02:47,830 --> 02:02:47,840 there's you know a lack of enforcement 6499 02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,109 there's you know a lack of enforcement and I think that's that's that can 6500 02:02:51,109 --> 02:02:51,119 and I think that's that's that can 6501 02:02:51,119 --> 02:02:53,109 and I think that's that's that can happen. Um and so I do think you can 6502 02:02:53,109 --> 02:02:53,119 happen. Um and so I do think you can 6503 02:02:53,119 --> 02:02:55,510 happen. Um and so I do think you can move it's not there's nothing you can 6504 02:02:55,510 --> 02:02:55,520 move it's not there's nothing you can 6505 02:02:55,520 --> 02:02:58,550 move it's not there's nothing you can do. I do think you can move the needle 6506 02:02:58,550 --> 02:02:58,560 do. I do think you can move the needle 6507 02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:00,709 do. I do think you can move the needle bringing folks together. I think the the 6508 02:03:00,709 --> 02:03:00,719 bringing folks together. I think the the 6509 02:03:00,719 --> 02:03:03,669 bringing folks together. I think the the approach the first approach is the why. 6510 02:03:03,669 --> 02:03:03,679 approach the first approach is the why. 6511 02:03:03,679 --> 02:03:06,950 approach the first approach is the why. And then if that doesn't work, if I'm 6512 02:03:06,950 --> 02:03:06,960 And then if that doesn't work, if I'm 6513 02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:08,629 And then if that doesn't work, if I'm the principal, I'm gonna say, "Well, why 6514 02:03:08,629 --> 02:03:08,639 the principal, I'm gonna say, "Well, why 6515 02:03:08,639 --> 02:03:10,550 the principal, I'm gonna say, "Well, why aren't you 6516 02:03:10,550 --> 02:03:10,560 aren't you 6517 02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:12,790 aren't you enforcing what we've talked about and 6518 02:03:12,790 --> 02:03:12,800 enforcing what we've talked about and 6519 02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:14,709 enforcing what we've talked about and what is it?" And then those can be 6520 02:03:14,709 --> 02:03:14,719 what is it?" And then those can be 6521 02:03:14,719 --> 02:03:15,990 what is it?" And then those can be professional development opportunities 6522 02:03:15,990 --> 02:03:16,000 professional development opportunities 6523 02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:18,550 professional development opportunities for teachers. Those can be um 6524 02:03:18,550 --> 02:03:18,560 for teachers. Those can be um 6525 02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:20,629 for teachers. Those can be um clarifications for expectations from 6526 02:03:20,629 --> 02:03:20,639 clarifications for expectations from 6527 02:03:20,639 --> 02:03:24,629 clarifications for expectations from teachers. Uh I and I think that's all 6528 02:03:24,629 --> 02:03:24,639 teachers. Uh I and I think that's all 6529 02:03:24,639 --> 02:03:27,510 teachers. Uh I and I think that's all part of being a leader. So, as we 6530 02:03:27,510 --> 02:03:27,520 part of being a leader. So, as we 6531 02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:30,149 part of being a leader. So, as we continue to move forward, um, as as we 6532 02:03:30,149 --> 02:03:30,159 continue to move forward, um, as as we 6533 02:03:30,159 --> 02:03:32,229 continue to move forward, um, as as we hear concerning data from whatever 6534 02:03:32,229 --> 02:03:32,239 hear concerning data from whatever 6535 02:03:32,239 --> 02:03:34,629 hear concerning data from whatever sources it comes from, I think that the 6536 02:03:34,629 --> 02:03:34,639 sources it comes from, I think that the 6537 02:03:34,639 --> 02:03:36,470 sources it comes from, I think that the board can expect that we'll continue to 6538 02:03:36,470 --> 02:03:36,480 board can expect that we'll continue to 6539 02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:38,550 board can expect that we'll continue to lean in on something that's important. 6540 02:03:38,550 --> 02:03:38,560 lean in on something that's important. 6541 02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:40,070 lean in on something that's important.

You know, at first we talked about are there 6740 02:07:21,669 --> 02:07:21,679 know, at first we talked about are there 6741 02:07:21,679 --> 02:07:23,910 know, at first we talked about are there safe zones in schools that you could 6742 02:07:23,910 --> 02:07:23,920 safe zones in schools that you could 6743 02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:25,830 safe zones in schools that you could like go to to use your phone and that 6744 02:07:25,830 --> 02:07:25,840 like go to to use your phone and that 6745 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:27,589 like go to to use your phone and that quickly sort of dissipated because there 6746 02:07:27,589 --> 02:07:27,599 quickly sort of dissipated because there 6747 02:07:27,599 --> 02:07:29,910 quickly sort of dissipated because there is no safe space where you're like this 6748 02:07:29,910 --> 02:07:29,920 is no safe space where you're like this 6749 02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:32,390 is no safe space where you're like this is okay to use it here because you try 6750 02:07:32,390 --> 02:07:32,400 is okay to use it here because you try 6751 02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:34,470 is okay to use it here because you try and draw that line right of where it is 6752 02:07:34,470 --> 02:07:34,480 and draw that line right of where it is 6753 02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:37,030 and draw that line right of where it is and it isn't. And um I just think too 6754 02:07:37,030 --> 02:07:37,040 and it isn't. And um I just think too 6755 02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:40,149 and it isn't. And um I just think too about like in certain curriculums 6756 02:07:40,149 --> 02:07:40,159 about like in certain curriculums 6757 02:07:40,159 --> 02:07:42,149 about like in certain curriculums for kids to listen to music as they're 6758 02:07:42,149 --> 02:07:42,159 for kids to listen to music as they're 6759 02:07:42,159 --> 02:07:45,109 for kids to listen to music as they're creating art makes a lot of sense. And 6760 02:07:45,109 --> 02:07:45,119 creating art makes a lot of sense. And 6761 02:07:45,119 --> 02:07:46,950 creating art makes a lot of sense. And so when kids say in this class I'm 6762 02:07:46,950 --> 02:07:46,960 so when kids say in this class I'm 6763 02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:48,629 so when kids say in this class I'm allowed to use my phone, it could 6764 02:07:48,629 --> 02:07:48,639 allowed to use my phone, it could 6765 02:07:48,639 --> 02:07:50,310 allowed to use my phone, it could absolutely be true because they're 6766 02:07:50,310 --> 02:07:50,320 absolutely be true because they're 6767 02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:52,229 absolutely be true because they're individually doing clay work and they've 6768 02:07:52,229 --> 02:07:52,239 individually doing clay work and they've 6769 02:07:52,239 --> 02:07:53,750 individually doing clay work and they've got their music and they're jamming out 6770 02:07:53,750 --> 02:07:53,760 got their music and they're jamming out 6771 02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:56,149 got their music and they're jamming out to it.

I understand why they're confused sometimes because we see the value in it 6774 02:07:59,270 --> 02:07:59,280 sometimes because we see the value in it 6775 02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:01,589 sometimes because we see the value in it in a certain space, but it doesn't apply 6776 02:08:01,589 --> 02:08:01,599 in a certain space, but it doesn't apply 6777 02:08:01,599 --> 02:08:06,870 in a certain space, but it doesn't apply to all spaces. 6778 02:08:06,870 --> 02:08:06,880 6779 02:08:06,880 --> 02:08:08,470 Alex, 6780 02:08:08,470 --> 02:08:08,480 Alex, 6781 02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:08,709 Alex, I 6782 02:08:08,709 --> 02:08:08,719 I 6783 02:08:08,719 --> 02:08:11,830 I >> I really appreciate uh the hard work and 6784 02:08:11,830 --> 02:08:11,840 >> I really appreciate uh the hard work and 6785 02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:14,870 >> I really appreciate uh the hard work and the sincere effort and the the need to 6786 02:08:14,870 --> 02:08:14,880 the sincere effort and the the need to 6787 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:16,950 the sincere effort and the the need to do the maximum engagement that gets the 6788 02:08:16,950 --> 02:08:16,960 do the maximum engagement that gets the 6789 02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:18,870 do the maximum engagement that gets the buy in because that'll lead to the 6790 02:08:18,870 --> 02:08:18,880 buy in because that'll lead to the 6791 02:08:18,880 --> 02:08:21,910 buy in because that'll lead to the change.
