Is that ideal? Might there be 464 00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:24,560 Is that ideal? Might there be 465 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,949 Is that ideal? Might there be alternative solutions in the same 466 00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:26,959 alternative solutions in the same 467 00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:29,829 alternative solutions in the same academic calendar 2728 we start earlier 468 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:29,839 academic calendar 2728 we start earlier 469 00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:33,990 academic calendar 2728 we start earlier than we've ever started August 11th 470 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:34,000 than we've ever started August 11th 471 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,710 than we've ever started August 11th for example would they prefer starting 472 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:36,720 for example would they prefer starting 473 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,190 for example would they prefer starting two days later and not have a fall break 474 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:39,200 two days later and not have a fall break 475 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,870 two days later and not have a fall break or have a fall break and start that 476 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:40,880 or have a fall break and start that 477 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,630 or have a fall break and start that early. So those are some of the things 478 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:42,640 early. So those are some of the things 479 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,550 early.

So, and not all not all surrounding 540 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:07,360 and not all not all surrounding 541 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,990 and not all not all surrounding districts do uh recognize that as a day 542 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:10,000 districts do uh recognize that as a day 543 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,310 districts do uh recognize that as a day off. 544 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:10,320 off. 545 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,069 off. And so, that would be one of the things 546 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:12,079 And so, that would be one of the things 547 00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:14,790 And so, that would be one of the things I might suggest to our stakeholders to 548 00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:14,800 I might suggest to our stakeholders to 549 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,949 I might suggest to our stakeholders to um I think that our slides 550 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:18,959 um I think that our slides 551 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:21,509 um I think that our slides make that kind of confusing when we put 552 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:21,519 make that kind of confusing when we put 553 00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:23,910 make that kind of confusing when we put it on the must be on our calendar. I 554 00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:23,920 it on the must be on our calendar. I 555 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,750 it on the must be on our calendar. I understand it must be, but it doesn't 556 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:25,760 understand it must be, but it doesn't 557 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,590 understand it must be, but it doesn't have to be a day that we observe by 558 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:27,600 have to be a day that we observe by 559 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,310 have to be a day that we observe by taking a day off of school. And so if 560 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:30,320 taking a day off of school. And so if 561 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,269 taking a day off of school. And so if that one is inconveniently placed to our 562 00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:33,279 that one is inconveniently placed to our 563 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,110 that one is inconveniently placed to our community or they'd rather have it 564 00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:35,120 community or they'd rather have it 565 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,190 community or they'd rather have it placed somewhere else, that would be my 566 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:37,200 placed somewhere else, that would be my 567 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,790 placed somewhere else, that would be my first suggestion that um stakeholders 568 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:40,800 first suggestion that um stakeholders 569 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,190 first suggestion that um stakeholders look at. Second, um can you 570 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:45,200 look at. Second, um can you 571 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,430 look at. Second, um can you enlighten me a little bit more on the 572 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:47,440 enlighten me a little bit more on the 573 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,310 enlighten me a little bit more on the family calendar preference? I see 36% 574 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:52,320 family calendar preference? I see 36% 575 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,990 family calendar preference? I see 36% looking at a September start and 64 576 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:56,000 looking at a September start and 64 577 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,949 looking at a September start and 64 like the current start. Um I would 578 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:58,959 like the current start. Um I would 579 00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:00,710 like the current start. Um I would assume once it gets pushed back right to 580 00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:00,720 assume once it gets pushed back right to 581 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,990 assume once it gets pushed back right to the beginning of August some people 582 00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:02,000 the beginning of August some people 583 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,829 the beginning of August some people might feel different but first what is 584 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:03,839 might feel different but first what is 585 00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:06,069 might feel different but first what is the end size on this and when was this 586 00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:06,079 the end size on this and when was this 587 00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:09,030 the end size on this and when was this survey done? 588 00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:09,040 survey done? 589 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,509 survey done? Sure. So that so our uh community was 590 00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:13,519 Sure. So that so our uh community was 591 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:19,030 Sure. So that so our uh community was queried three times um from 20 in 2020, 592 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:19,040 queried three times um from 20 in 2020, 593 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,069 queried three times um from 20 in 2020, 2022 and 2024 594 00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:22,079 2022 and 2024 595 00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:26,150 2022 and 2024 I believe and they were queried through 596 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:26,160 I believe and they were queried through 597 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,150 I believe and they were queried through the vehicle of the family survey that 598 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:30,160 the vehicle of the family survey that 599 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,670 the vehicle of the family survey that goes out to families in February which 600 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:33,680 goes out to families in February which 601 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:38,550 goes out to families in February which as I understand has approximately a 15% 602 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:38,560 as I understand has approximately a 15% 603 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,910 as I understand has approximately a 15% uh response response rate on average in 604 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:41,920 uh response response rate on average in 605 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,629 uh response response rate on average in that survey. 606 00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:44,639 that survey. 607 00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:47,670 that survey. So that's I still need an N size. I 608 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:47,680 So that's I still need an N size. I 609 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,829 So that's I still need an N size. I can't figure out what 15% would mean in 610 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:49,839 can't figure out what 15% would mean in 611 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:50,389 can't figure out what 15% would mean in that case. 612 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:50,399 that case. 613 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:52,629 that case. Happy happy to get that for you. Yeah. 614 00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:52,639 Happy happy to get that for you. Yeah. 615 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,829 Happy happy to get that for you. Yeah. Um I think that as we that would be 616 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:55,839 Um I think that as we that would be 617 00:13:55,839 --> 00:13:58,629 Um I think that as we that would be something I would also want stakeholders 618 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:58,639 something I would also want stakeholders 619 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:00,629 something I would also want stakeholders to look at in the formation of these two 620 00:14:00,629 --> 00:14:00,639 to look at in the formation of these two 621 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:06,629 to look at in the formation of these two new calendars. Um that 622 00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:06,639 623 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:09,670 uh August 8th 624 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:09,680 uh August 8th 625 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,350 uh August 8th August 4th. Um, it's going to be darn 626 00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:13,360 August 4th. Um, it's going to be darn 627 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,710 August 4th. Um, it's going to be darn hot and I know Jason has talked about 628 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:16,720 hot and I know Jason has talked about 629 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,629 hot and I know Jason has talked about this before, but I think it's something 630 00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:18,639 this before, but I think it's something 631 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,629 this before, but I think it's something for our stakeholders to start thinking 632 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:20,639 for our stakeholders to start thinking 633 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,470 for our stakeholders to start thinking about. Um, I'd also be interested in 634 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:24,480 about. Um, I'd also be interested in 635 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,310 about. Um, I'd also be interested in having stakeholders understand our 636 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:26,320 having stakeholders understand our 637 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,590 having stakeholders understand our interaction with CHASSA at that point. 638 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:29,600 interaction with CHASSA at that point. 639 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,910 interaction with CHASSA at that point. Um, and I don't know what the moves are 640 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:31,920 Um, and I don't know what the moves are 641 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,509 Um, and I don't know what the moves are in Chassa, but certainly an August 4th 642 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:35,519 in Chassa, but certainly an August 4th 643 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,189 in Chassa, but certainly an August 4th start date is going to be a lot for two 644 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:37,199 start date is going to be a lot for two 645 00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:39,590 start date is going to be a lot for two days for their football players and 646 00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:39,600 days for their football players and 647 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,069 days for their football players and things like that. So, I I to me the 648 00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:42,079 things like that. So, I I to me the 649 00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:44,710 things like that. So, I I to me the weather is a concern. So, I'm hoping our 650 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:44,720 weather is a concern. So, I'm hoping our 651 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,269 weather is a concern. So, I'm hoping our stakeholders might take a look at that. 652 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:47,279 stakeholders might take a look at that. 653 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,030 stakeholders might take a look at that. Um, 654 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:49,040 Um, 655 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,990 Um, and then I think my last thing for right 656 00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:52,000 and then I think my last thing for right 657 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,230 and then I think my last thing for right now is I see a little bit of creep here 658 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:56,240 now is I see a little bit of creep here 659 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,230 now is I see a little bit of creep here on 660 00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:58,240 on 661 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,550 on the number of school weeks that are 662 00:15:00,550 --> 00:15:00,560 the number of school weeks that are 663 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,389 the number of school weeks that are shortened from five. So this year we 664 00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:04,399 shortened from five. So this year we 665 00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,230 shortened from five. So this year we only have six weeks where we see that 666 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:06,240 only have six weeks where we see that 667 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,990 only have six weeks where we see that occur. And as I look at uh 668 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:12,000 occur. And as I look at uh 669 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,550 occur. And as I look at uh both 2728 and 28 29, it's either 8 or 9 670 00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:16,560 both 2728 and 28 29, it's either 8 or 9 671 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,949 both 2728 and 28 29, it's either 8 or 9 weeks depending on how you count that. 672 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:18,959 weeks depending on how you count that. 673 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:21,030 weeks depending on how you count that. If you count the first week of school, 674 00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:21,040 If you count the first week of school, 675 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,990 If you count the first week of school, if you count that single last day of 676 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:24,000 if you count that single last day of 677 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,590 if you count that single last day of school on a Monday, um which I agree 678 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:27,600 school on a Monday, um which I agree 679 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,910 school on a Monday, um which I agree with Nicole needs to be addressed. I 680 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:29,920 with Nicole needs to be addressed. I 681 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,990 with Nicole needs to be addressed. I think we need to um ask our stakeholders 682 00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:34,000 think we need to um ask our stakeholders 683 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,350 think we need to um ask our stakeholders about those short weeks and 684 00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:37,360 about those short weeks and 685 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,829 about those short weeks and I would not be in favor of continuing 686 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:39,839 I would not be in favor of continuing 687 00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:46,870 I would not be in favor of continuing creep from 6 to 8 or nine isn't good. 688 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:46,880 689 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,790 Anna and then Jason. 690 00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:48,800 Anna and then Jason. 691 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,749 Anna and then Jason. Uh based on the cadence of the uh family 692 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:51,759 Uh based on the cadence of the uh family 693 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,710 Uh based on the cadence of the uh family survey, will there be an uh the same 694 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:54,720 survey, will there be an uh the same 695 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,870 survey, will there be an uh the same survey for the school calendar that goes 696 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:56,880 survey for the school calendar that goes 697 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,389 survey for the school calendar that goes out this year? And will there be enough 698 00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:58,399 out this year? And will there be enough 699 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,870 out this year? And will there be enough time for us to receive that feedback? 700 00:16:00,870 --> 00:16:00,880 time for us to receive that feedback? 701 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,870 time for us to receive that feedback? So that was not a question that that 702 00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:02,880 So that was not a question that that 703 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,829 So that was not a question that that went out in the in uh or will be going 704 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:05,839 went out in the in uh or will be going 705 00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:07,910 went out in the in uh or will be going out in the survey this year? No, not 706 00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:07,920 out in the survey this year? No, not 707 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,030 out in the survey this year? No, not yet. But um 708 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:11,040 yet. But um 709 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,590 yet.

I just think if we I mean in addition to 770 00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:32,559 I just think if we I mean in addition to 771 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,789 I just think if we I mean in addition to the kind of trade-off conversation, 772 00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:34,799 the kind of trade-off conversation, 773 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,950 the kind of trade-off conversation, you know, that's a if 60% of students 774 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:38,960 you know, that's a if 60% of students 775 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,470 you know, that's a if 60% of students don't show up because the last day ends 776 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:40,480 don't show up because the last day ends 777 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,510 don't show up because the last day ends on a Monday, 778 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:41,520 on a Monday, 779 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,029 on a Monday, I'm sure that's a revenue hit for the 780 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:43,039 I'm sure that's a revenue hit for the 781 00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,310 I'm sure that's a revenue hit for the district. And so wanting to kind of 782 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:44,320 district. And so wanting to kind of 783 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,390 district. And so wanting to kind of think about it in those terms as well in 784 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:46,400 think about it in those terms as well in 785 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,430 think about it in those terms as well in addition to the kind of other 786 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:47,440 addition to the kind of other 787 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,830 addition to the kind of other trade-offs. I think similarly looking at 788 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:49,840 trade-offs. I think similarly looking at 789 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,029 trade-offs. I think similarly looking at the this 2728 790 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:53,039 the this 2728 791 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,870 the this 2728 um you know they're already we already 792 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:54,880 um you know they're already we already 793 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,470 um you know they're already we already come back on a Tuesday after winter 794 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:56,480 come back on a Tuesday after winter 795 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,870 come back on a Tuesday after winter break which um as someone with three 796 00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:58,880 break which um as someone with three 797 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,150 break which um as someone with three kids at home for 18 days I think uh I 798 00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:02,160 kids at home for 18 days I think uh I 799 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,990 kids at home for 18 days I think uh I can speak to kind of how challenging 800 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:04,000 can speak to kind of how challenging 801 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,510 can speak to kind of how challenging that is and I have a lot of job 802 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:05,520 that is and I have a lot of job 803 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,909 that is and I have a lot of job flexibility and a lot of folks may maybe 804 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:07,919 flexibility and a lot of folks may maybe 805 00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:09,270 flexibility and a lot of folks may maybe don't and so understanding the 806 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:09,280 don't and so understanding the 807 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,190 don't and so understanding the challenges of winter break and then here 808 00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:11,200 challenges of winter break and then here 809 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,950 challenges of winter break and then here we add another day to that and so in 810 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:12,960 we add another day to that and so in 811 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,430 we add another day to that and so in addition to just being a really long 812 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:15,440 addition to just being a really long 813 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,909 addition to just being a really long time out of school challenges with care 814 00:18:17,909 --> 00:18:17,919 time out of school challenges with care 815 00:18:17,919 --> 00:18:20,470 time out of school challenges with care and um parents wanting their kids to go 816 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:20,480 and um parents wanting their kids to go 817 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,390 and um parents wanting their kids to go back to school. Uh I would imagine 818 00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:22,400 back to school. Uh I would imagine 819 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,350 back to school. Uh I would imagine that's another hit to potential revenue 820 00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:25,360 that's another hit to potential revenue 821 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:26,950 that's another hit to potential revenue from the state when you add another day 822 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:26,960 from the state when you add another day 823 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,950 from the state when you add another day to a long um break that then becomes a 824 00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:30,960 to a long um break that then becomes a 825 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,549 to a long um break that then becomes a vacation for a lot of families. So I 826 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:32,559 vacation for a lot of families. So I 827 00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:33,990 vacation for a lot of families. So I think that I would like to consider 828 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:34,000 think that I would like to consider 829 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,549 think that I would like to consider those the extra Tuesday after winter 830 00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:36,559 those the extra Tuesday after winter 831 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:37,990 those the extra Tuesday after winter break and then the ending school on 832 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:38,000 break and then the ending school on 833 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,590 break and then the ending school on Monday um just the impact of budgetary 834 00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:41,600 Monday um just the impact of budgetary 835 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,310 Monday um just the impact of budgetary impact of those choices 836 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:44,320 impact of those choices 837 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,270 impact of those choices if that's possible. 838 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:47,280 if that's possible. 839 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,110 if that's possible. Um, and I, you know, I don't know, it's 840 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:49,120 Um, and I, you know, I don't know, it's 841 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,590 Um, and I, you know, I don't know, it's a trade-off that maybe, um, could be 842 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:51,600 a trade-off that maybe, um, could be 843 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,350 a trade-off that maybe, um, could be considered, but if we're looking at 844 00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:53,360 considered, but if we're looking at 845 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,190 considered, but if we're looking at ending, 846 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:55,200 ending, 847 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,789 ending, it's only, it only applies to this first 848 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:56,799 it's only, it only applies to this first 849 00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,029 it's only, it only applies to this first year, not the second year. But the, you 850 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:59,039 year, not the second year. But the, you 851 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:00,310 year, not the second year. But the, you know, we have, a few of us have raised 852 00:19:00,310 --> 00:19:00,320 know, we have, a few of us have raised 853 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,870 know, we have, a few of us have raised this ending on a Monday, the 22nd. Um, 854 00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:02,880 this ending on a Monday, the 22nd. Um, 855 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,870 this ending on a Monday, the 22nd. Um, which I think we very good chance we 856 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:04,880 which I think we very good chance we 857 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,549 which I think we very good chance we could have snow. And so that like I've 858 00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:06,559 could have snow. And so that like I've 859 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,630 could have snow. And so that like I've raised this weather issue before, but 860 00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:08,640 raised this weather issue before, but 861 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,549 raised this weather issue before, but it's kind of insane to me that we end so 862 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:10,559 it's kind of insane to me that we end so 863 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,029 it's kind of insane to me that we end so early. But knowing that we start so 864 00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:13,039 early. But knowing that we start so 865 00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:14,710 early. But knowing that we start so early and end so early, one 866 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:14,720 early and end so early, one 867 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,230 early and end so early, one consideration I would love our 868 00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:16,240 consideration I would love our 869 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,510 consideration I would love our stakeholders to think about is what if 870 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:17,520 stakeholders to think about is what if 871 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,150 stakeholders to think about is what if we just push the start date back a week 872 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:20,160 we just push the start date back a week 873 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,830 we just push the start date back a week and then the end date back a week.

And so that could solve potentially two 876 00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:23,520 so that could solve potentially two 877 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,909 so that could solve potentially two problems here of not starting on August 878 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:25,919 problems here of not starting on August 879 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:27,830 problems here of not starting on August 11th and not finishing on a random 880 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:27,840 11th and not finishing on a random 881 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,789 11th and not finishing on a random Monday the 22nd of May. So addressing 882 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:30,799 Monday the 22nd of May. So addressing 883 00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:32,470 Monday the 22nd of May. So addressing some of the issues I raised, Lenia's 884 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:32,480 some of the issues I raised, Lenia's 885 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,669 some of the issues I raised, Lenia's raised over over time of just um kind of 886 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:35,679 raised over over time of just um kind of 887 00:19:35,679 --> 00:19:37,909 raised over over time of just um kind of extending summer a bit into August, you 888 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:37,919 extending summer a bit into August, you 889 00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:39,830 extending summer a bit into August, you know, considering the weather um and 890 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:39,840 know, considering the weather um and 891 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,110 know, considering the weather um and then potentially addressing I don't know 892 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:41,120 then potentially addressing I don't know 893 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:42,390 then potentially addressing I don't know if that works, but potentially 894 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:42,400 if that works, but potentially 895 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,029 if that works, but potentially addressing that issue of um the very 896 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:45,039 addressing that issue of um the very 897 00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:49,830 addressing that issue of um the very early start and the very early end time. 898 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:49,840 early start and the very early end time. 899 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,870 early start and the very early end time. Um and I think that's it for now. 900 00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:54,880 Um and I think that's it for now. 901 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,909 Um and I think that's it for now. Alex. 902 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:55,919 Alex. 903 00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:57,909 Alex. Yeah. I just I wanted to add one other 904 00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:57,919 Yeah. I just I wanted to add one other 905 00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:00,549 Yeah. I just I wanted to add one other concern to think about which is data on 906 00:20:00,549 --> 00:20:00,559 concern to think about which is data on 907 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,870 concern to think about which is data on um teacher absences on some of those 908 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:02,880 um teacher absences on some of those 909 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,710 um teacher absences on some of those days that hang out and whether that 910 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:04,720 days that hang out and whether that 911 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,230 days that hang out and whether that becomes a staffing challenge that turns 912 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:06,240 becomes a staffing challenge that turns 913 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,909 becomes a staffing challenge that turns into a quality of instruction day. I 914 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:09,919 into a quality of instruction day. I 915 00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:11,190 into a quality of instruction day. I doubt that would be happen on the last 916 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:11,200 doubt that would be happen on the last 917 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,830 doubt that would be happen on the last day, but just always be aware of uh the 918 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:13,840 day, but just always be aware of uh the 919 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,270 day, but just always be aware of uh the likelihood that we may be low on 920 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:15,280 likelihood that we may be low on 921 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,789 likelihood that we may be low on teachers depending on what we do. 922 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:18,799 teachers depending on what we do. 923 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,150 teachers depending on what we do. Deian and then Elenia. 924 00:20:22,150 --> 00:20:22,160 Deian and then Elenia. 925 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,029 Deian and then Elenia. Uh on both of these calendars, I'm a 926 00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:25,039 Uh on both of these calendars, I'm a 927 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:28,630 Uh on both of these calendars, I'm a little bit concerned um about the two 928 00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:28,640 little bit concerned um about the two 929 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,270 little bit concerned um about the two breaks in November 930 00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:31,280 breaks in November 931 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,669 breaks in November um which includes Veterans Day and then 932 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:33,679 um which includes Veterans Day and then 933 00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:37,750 um which includes Veterans Day and then it looks like one other um PD or work 934 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:37,760 it looks like one other um PD or work 935 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,230 it looks like one other um PD or work day. I I think that the teachers have 936 00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:40,240 day. I I think that the teachers have 937 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,669 day. I I think that the teachers have articulated to me that that was 938 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:41,679 articulated to me that that was 939 00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:44,549 articulated to me that that was incredibly difficult this year because 940 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:44,559 incredibly difficult this year because 941 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,029 incredibly difficult this year because you instructionally you just get the 942 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:47,039 you instructionally you just get the 943 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:49,110 you instructionally you just get the kids going and then they go away and 944 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:49,120 kids going and then they go away and 945 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,029 kids going and then they go away and have a break and then you get them going 946 00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:51,039 have a break and then you get them going 947 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:52,710 have a break and then you get them going and then they have a break. So 948 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:52,720 and then they have a break. So 949 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,789 and then they have a break. So instructionally that may not be a really 950 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:54,799 instructionally that may not be a really 951 00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,750 instructionally that may not be a really good flow. I would also personally say 952 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:57,760 good flow. I would also personally say 953 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,310 good flow. I would also personally say that uh November 11th is a really good 954 00:21:00,310 --> 00:21:00,320 that uh November 11th is a really good 955 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,029 that uh November 11th is a really good day to teach about what November 11th 956 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:03,039 day to teach about what November 11th 957 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,669 day to teach about what November 11th is.

I think that as we those last two days before winter 1174 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:42,720 we those last two days before winter 1175 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,870 we those last two days before winter break where we were contemplating what 1176 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:44,880 break where we were contemplating what 1177 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,390 break where we were contemplating what we would do, what we found is that 1178 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:46,400 we would do, what we found is that 1179 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,470 we would do, what we found is that there's just um a great deal of variance 1180 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:48,480 there's just um a great deal of variance 1181 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,549 there's just um a great deal of variance on how much those final exams are 1182 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:50,559 on how much those final exams are 1183 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:53,350 on how much those final exams are weighted and that it's not something 1184 00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:53,360 weighted and that it's not something 1185 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,909 weighted and that it's not something that is spoken to in the board's grading 1186 00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:55,919 that is spoken to in the board's grading 1187 00:25:55,919 --> 00:25:57,669 that is spoken to in the board's grading policy.

I think getting us for me I I wouldn't 1298 00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:02,000 I think getting us for me I I wouldn't 1299 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,590 I think getting us for me I I wouldn't want such level of detail that we're 1300 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:03,600 want such level of detail that we're 1301 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,269 want such level of detail that we're pitting one group against the other and 1302 00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:05,279 pitting one group against the other and 1303 00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:07,990 pitting one group against the other and like saying well we like this group's 1304 00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:08,000 like saying well we like this group's 1305 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,750 like saying well we like this group's recommendation more than that group's 1306 00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:09,760 recommendation more than that group's 1307 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,269 recommendation more than that group's recommendation. So like that granularity 1308 00:28:13,269 --> 00:28:13,279 recommendation. So like that granularity 1309 00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:16,549 recommendation. So like that granularity might actually get in the way but like 1310 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:16,559 might actually get in the way but like 1311 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:20,149 might actually get in the way but like over majority opinions across those 1312 00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:20,159 over majority opinions across those 1313 00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:23,269 over majority opinions across those groups are on these couple things. We 1314 00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:23,279 groups are on these couple things. We 1315 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:24,870 groups are on these couple things. We the group those stakeholder groups 1316 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:24,880 the group those stakeholder groups 1317 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,789 the group those stakeholder groups prefer and part of this I think is 1318 00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:26,799 prefer and part of this I think is 1319 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:28,470 prefer and part of this I think is helping like the the board has never 1320 00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:28,480 helping like the the board has never 1321 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,630 helping like the the board has never agreed on what is the most pri the 1322 00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:30,640 agreed on what is the most pri the 1323 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,149 agreed on what is the most pri the highest priority and what the best 1324 00:28:32,149 --> 00:28:32,159 highest priority and what the best 1325 00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:35,110 highest priority and what the best trade-off should be. Our new policy lays 1326 00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:35,120 trade-off should be. Our new policy lays 1327 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,549 trade-off should be. Our new policy lays out that those are the considerations 1328 00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:36,559 out that those are the considerations 1329 00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:38,549 out that those are the considerations that things that need to be considered. 1330 00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:38,559 that things that need to be considered. 1331 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:40,710 that things that need to be considered. And so from those groups, I think some 1332 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:40,720 And so from those groups, I think some 1333 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,269 And so from those groups, I think some degree of specific feedback to to kind 1334 00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:43,279 degree of specific feedback to to kind 1335 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:44,710 degree of specific feedback to to kind of close the loop on these two calendars 1336 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:44,720 of close the loop on these two calendars 1337 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,950 of close the loop on these two calendars around things like Veterans Day, when to 1338 00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:46,960 around things like Veterans Day, when to 1339 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,750 around things like Veterans Day, when to start and end semesters, trade-offs of 1340 00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:49,760 start and end semesters, trade-offs of 1341 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,669 start and end semesters, trade-offs of those partial weeks and what day they 1342 00:28:51,669 --> 00:28:51,679 those partial weeks and what day they 1343 00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:54,710 those partial weeks and what day they fall, but not necessarily. I I wouldn't 1344 00:28:54,710 --> 00:28:54,720 fall, but not necessarily. I I wouldn't 1345 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,470 fall, but not necessarily. I I wouldn't want it to be like 23% of DAC says this 1346 00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:58,480 want it to be like 23% of DAC says this 1347 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,430 want it to be like 23% of DAC says this and 75% of BVA says that. like I don't 1348 00:29:01,430 --> 00:29:01,440 and 75% of BVA says that. like I don't 1349 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,070 and 75% of BVA says that. like I don't know that that's helpful but to ask the 1350 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:04,080 know that that's helpful but to ask the 1351 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,990 know that that's helpful but to ask the questions to get enough of a sense of 1352 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:08,000 questions to get enough of a sense of 1353 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,549 questions to get enough of a sense of feeling and then my hope was I mean just 1354 00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:10,559 feeling and then my hope was I mean just 1355 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:12,070 feeling and then my hope was I mean just so the board knows we're already a 1356 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:12,080 so the board knows we're already a 1357 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,750 so the board knows we're already a little bit behind the timeline on this 1358 00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:13,760 little bit behind the timeline on this 1359 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,669 little bit behind the timeline on this calendar adoption process because the 1360 00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:15,679 calendar adoption process because the 1361 00:29:15,679 --> 00:29:18,710 calendar adoption process because the policy took us so long 1362 00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:18,720 policy took us so long 1363 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,870 policy took us so long so my hope then would be like there are 1364 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:20,880 so my hope then would be like there are 1365 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,310 so my hope then would be like there are some you get the feedback on those 1366 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:22,320 some you get the feedback on those 1367 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,750 some you get the feedback on those things for those groups and board 1368 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:23,760 things for those groups and board 1369 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,029 things for those groups and board members if you disagree with me that's 1370 00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:25,039 members if you disagree with me that's 1371 00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:26,870 members if you disagree with me that's totally fine and we can talk about it 1372 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:26,880 totally fine and we can talk about it 1373 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,669 totally fine and we can talk about it and then any changes that you recommend 1374 00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:29,679 and then any changes that you recommend 1375 00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:31,909 and then any changes that you recommend making to the calendar have been made 1376 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:31,919 making to the calendar have been made 1377 00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:33,590 making to the calendar have been made based on that feedback and it comes back 1378 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:33,600 based on that feedback and it comes back 1379 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,990 based on that feedback and it comes back to us then for adoption like this was 1380 00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:36,000 to us then for adoption like this was 1381 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,909 to us then for adoption like this was overwhelmingly like yes there's high 1382 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:37,919 overwhelmingly like yes there's high 1383 00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:41,110 overwhelmingly like yes there's high support of removing or m making this 1384 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:41,120 support of removing or m making this 1385 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,710 support of removing or m making this trade-off we're making this adjustment. 1386 00:29:42,710 --> 00:29:42,720 trade-off we're making this adjustment. 1387 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,710 trade-off we're making this adjustment.

So I will say that um 1418 00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:31,679 assure you of. So I will say that um 1419 00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:33,029 assure you of. So I will say that um there will be certain groups that have 1420 00:30:33,029 --> 00:30:33,039 there will be certain groups that have 1421 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,710 there will be certain groups that have stronger opinions than probably others. 1422 00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:34,720 stronger opinions than probably others. 1423 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,269 stronger opinions than probably others. I would imagine the BVEA is going to 1424 00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:37,279 I would imagine the BVEA is going to 1425 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,909 I would imagine the BVEA is going to have an opinion that needs to be 1426 00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:39,919 have an opinion that needs to be 1427 00:30:39,919 --> 00:30:42,789 have an opinion that needs to be considered um probably of the groups, a 1428 00:30:42,789 --> 00:30:42,799 considered um probably of the groups, a 1429 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:45,269 considered um probably of the groups, a formal opinion on this is what we think. 1430 00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:45,279 formal opinion on this is what we think. 1431 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,070 formal opinion on this is what we think. Uh and uh with the other groups, I think 1432 00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:48,080 Uh and uh with the other groups, I think 1433 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,990 Uh and uh with the other groups, I think that you may get varying degrees of um 1434 00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:52,000 that you may get varying degrees of um 1435 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,789 that you may get varying degrees of um of feedback. I do think that there's a 1436 00:30:54,789 --> 00:30:54,799 of feedback. I do think that there's a 1437 00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:56,470 of feedback. I do think that there's a couple points that you've made. Ending 1438 00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:56,480 couple points that you've made. Ending 1439 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,710 couple points that you've made. Ending on the 22nd seems a little clunky. Can 1440 00:30:58,710 --> 00:30:58,720 on the 22nd seems a little clunky. Can 1441 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,750 on the 22nd seems a little clunky. Can we fix that? the Veterans Day piece. 1442 00:31:01,750 --> 00:31:01,760 we fix that? the Veterans Day piece. 1443 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,590 we fix that? the Veterans Day piece. Dan, I really appreciate your 1444 00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:03,600 Dan, I really appreciate your 1445 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,430 Dan, I really appreciate your perspective on that. And many 1446 00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:05,440 perspective on that. And many 1447 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,430 perspective on that. And many surrounding districts on Veterans Day 1448 00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:07,440 surrounding districts on Veterans Day 1449 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,510 surrounding districts on Veterans Day actually use that as a day as an 1450 00:31:09,510 --> 00:31:09,520 actually use that as a day as an 1451 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,070 actually use that as a day as an instructional teaching moment. Um I 1452 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:12,080 instructional teaching moment. Um I 1453 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,909 instructional teaching moment. Um I think there may be some some opportunity 1454 00:31:13,909 --> 00:31:13,919 think there may be some some opportunity 1455 00:31:13,919 --> 00:31:17,510 think there may be some some opportunity there. Uh and so um I think that there's 1456 00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:17,520 there. Uh and so um I think that there's 1457 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,750 there. Uh and so um I think that there's enough uh that we can talk to folks 1458 00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:19,760 enough uh that we can talk to folks 1459 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,630 enough uh that we can talk to folks about. I just wouldn't want to get I 1460 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:22,640 about. I just wouldn't want to get I 1461 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,269 about. I just wouldn't want to get I wouldn't want to get back here. There be 1462 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:25,279 wouldn't want to get back here. There be 1463 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:27,350 wouldn't want to get back here. There be maybe a a difference of opinion amongst 1464 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:27,360 maybe a a difference of opinion amongst 1465 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,110 maybe a a difference of opinion amongst board members and then we look to the 1466 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:29,120 board members and then we look to the 1467 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,590 board members and then we look to the data. What does the data say? Uh because 1468 00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:31,600 data. What does the data say? Uh because 1469 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,350 data. What does the data say? Uh because I think that at that point it'll be a 1470 00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:33,360 I think that at that point it'll be a 1471 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,590 I think that at that point it'll be a board decision and the data won't be 1472 00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:35,600 board decision and the data won't be 1473 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,350 board decision and the data won't be conclusive to tell you what to do or 1474 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:37,360 conclusive to tell you what to do or 1475 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,389 conclusive to tell you what to do or what not to do and we're going to 1476 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:38,399 what not to do and we're going to 1477 00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:40,950 what not to do and we're going to consider it. But I would imagine uh why 1478 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:40,960 consider it. But I would imagine uh why 1479 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,110 consider it. But I would imagine uh why these processes are difficult is because 1480 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:43,120 these processes are difficult is because 1481 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,630 these processes are difficult is because people have different perspectives all 1482 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:44,640 people have different perspectives all 1483 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,630 people have different perspectives all across the board. Subgroups of people 1484 00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:46,640 across the board. Subgroups of people 1485 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,710 across the board. Subgroups of people have different perspectives. Um, and so 1486 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:48,720 have different perspectives. Um, and so 1487 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,389 have different perspectives. Um, and so we'll consider all of those. We'll 1488 00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:50,399 we'll consider all of those. We'll 1489 00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:51,990 we'll consider all of those. We'll listen if there's anything that we feel 1490 00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:52,000 listen if there's anything that we feel 1491 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,950 listen if there's anything that we feel like is overwhelmingly supportive. Um, 1492 00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:54,960 like is overwhelmingly supportive. Um, 1493 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,590 like is overwhelmingly supportive. Um, we'll try to do that and also take the 1494 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:57,600 we'll try to do that and also take the 1495 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,350 we'll try to do that and also take the concerns that were shared here from the 1496 00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:59,360 concerns that were shared here from the 1497 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,990 concerns that were shared here from the board and try to mush those into a 1498 00:32:01,990 --> 00:32:02,000 board and try to mush those into a 1499 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,149 board and try to mush those into a calendar that makes the best sense given 1500 00:32:04,149 --> 00:32:04,159 calendar that makes the best sense given 1501 00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:08,332 calendar that makes the best sense given all the information that we have. 1502 00:32:08,332 --> 00:32:08,342 1503 00:32:08,342 --> 00:32:08,470 [clears throat] 1504 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:08,480 [clears throat] 1505 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,549 [clears throat] Uh, responding uh, thank you very much. 1506 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:10,559 Uh, responding uh, thank you very much. 1507 00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:12,230 Uh, responding uh, thank you very much.

And then we do compile the feedback by group 1582 00:34:00,789 --> 00:34:00,799 then we do compile the feedback by group 1583 00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:05,110 then we do compile the feedback by group and then we look for themes by group. Uh 1584 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:05,120 and then we look for themes by group. Uh 1585 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,509 and then we look for themes by group. Uh so we provide the opportunity to answer 1586 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:07,519 so we provide the opportunity to answer 1587 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:10,389 so we provide the opportunity to answer questions and to provide additional 1588 00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:10,399 questions and to provide additional 1589 00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:15,270 questions and to provide additional clarity in addition to the way in which 1590 00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:15,280 clarity in addition to the way in which 1591 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,869 clarity in addition to the way in which each piece of the calendar is connected 1592 00:34:18,869 --> 00:34:18,879 each piece of the calendar is connected 1593 00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:22,310 each piece of the calendar is connected and interwoven with every other piece. 1594 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:22,320 and interwoven with every other piece. 1595 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,629 and interwoven with every other piece. Uh just as as one example 1596 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:26,639 Uh just as as one example 1597 00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,550 Uh just as as one example uh 1598 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:28,560 uh 1599 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,790 uh in order to 1600 00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:30,800 in order to 1601 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,550 in order to incorporate again the conference 1602 00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:34,560 incorporate again the conference 1603 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,550 incorporate again the conference exchange days into into April 1604 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:38,560 exchange days into into April 1605 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,750 exchange days into into April without extending the number of school 1606 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:41,760 without extending the number of school 1607 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,589 without extending the number of school days of the the school year. Uh those 1608 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:45,599 days of the the school year. Uh those 1609 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:48,069 days of the the school year. Uh those need to be accommodated for in in some 1610 00:34:48,069 --> 00:34:48,079 need to be accommodated for in in some 1611 00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:51,669 need to be accommodated for in in some manner. And so that is how then the the 1612 00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:51,679 manner. And so that is how then the the 1613 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:53,909 manner. And so that is how then the the two little pieces of wiggle room that we 1614 00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:53,919 two little pieces of wiggle room that we 1615 00:34:53,919 --> 00:34:56,069 two little pieces of wiggle room that we have are the beginning of the year and 1616 00:34:56,069 --> 00:34:56,079 have are the beginning of the year and 1617 00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:58,150 have are the beginning of the year and the end of the year. Basically the 1618 00:34:58,150 --> 00:34:58,160 the end of the year. Basically the 1619 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,630 the end of the year. Basically the entire calendar 1620 00:35:00,630 --> 00:35:00,640 entire calendar 1621 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,310 entire calendar um as we are grounded currently in the 1622 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:04,320 um as we are grounded currently in the 1623 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,790 um as we are grounded currently in the regulation that 1624 00:35:06,790 --> 00:35:06,800 regulation that 1625 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,910 regulation that uh the first semester will end prior to 1626 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:09,920 uh the first semester will end prior to 1627 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,829 uh the first semester will end prior to to winter break. uh that determines how 1628 00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:13,839 to winter break. uh that determines how 1629 00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:16,390 to winter break. uh that determines how the year is planned back from there and 1630 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:16,400 the year is planned back from there and 1631 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,270 the year is planned back from there and and forward from there because one of 1632 00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:19,280 and forward from there because one of 1633 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,390 and forward from there because one of the other uh additional factors is that 1634 00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:22,400 the other uh additional factors is that 1635 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,349 the other uh additional factors is that we balance the length of each semester 1636 00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:25,359 we balance the length of each semester 1637 00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:28,950 we balance the length of each semester as much as possible. And so for example, 1638 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:28,960 as much as possible. And so for example, 1639 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,550 as much as possible. And so for example, if we start the school year later, 1640 00:35:32,550 --> 00:35:32,560 if we start the school year later, 1641 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,310 if we start the school year later, that makes first semester one week 1642 00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:34,320 that makes first semester one week 1643 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,589 that makes first semester one week shorter. And if we end second semester 1644 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:37,599 shorter. And if we end second semester 1645 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:39,750 shorter. And if we end second semester one week later, that makes second 1646 00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:39,760 one week later, that makes second 1647 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,109 one week later, that makes second semester one week longer. Always by 1648 00:35:43,109 --> 00:35:43,119 semester one week longer. Always by 1649 00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:44,870 semester one week longer. Always by default, they are never balanced by the 1650 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:44,880 default, they are never balanced by the 1651 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,470 default, they are never balanced by the exact number of days. These two 1652 00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:46,480 exact number of days. These two 1653 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,150 exact number of days. These two calendars are within just a couple of 1654 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:48,160 calendars are within just a couple of 1655 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,150 calendars are within just a couple of days, but we would then extend that 1656 00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:50,160 days, but we would then extend that 1657 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,109 days, but we would then extend that imbalance by 10 school days. And so 1658 00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:53,119 imbalance by 10 school days. And so 1659 00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:54,710 imbalance by 10 school days. And so those are the types of things that we do 1660 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:54,720 those are the types of things that we do 1661 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,910 those are the types of things that we do look at because it almost literally is a 1662 00:35:57,910 --> 00:35:57,920 look at because it almost literally is a 1663 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,030 look at because it almost literally is a puzzle u where 1664 00:36:01,030 --> 00:36:01,040 puzzle u where 1665 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,470 puzzle u where every change or tweak then has a ripple 1666 00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:04,480 every change or tweak then has a ripple 1667 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,190 every change or tweak then has a ripple effect that causes another tweak. And so 1668 00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:07,200 effect that causes another tweak. And so 1669 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,069 effect that causes another tweak. And so then it comes down to the question of 1670 00:36:10,069 --> 00:36:10,079 then it comes down to the question of 1671 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:12,390 then it comes down to the question of what are our stakeholder groups 1672 00:36:12,390 --> 00:36:12,400 what are our stakeholder groups 1673 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,990 what are our stakeholder groups priorities 1674 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:14,000 priorities 1675 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,069 priorities and as Dr. Anderson said, "I inevitably 1676 00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:18,079 and as Dr. Anderson said, "I inevitably 1677 00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:21,109 and as Dr. Anderson said, "I inevitably uh the input comes to us varied by 1678 00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:21,119 uh the input comes to us varied by 1679 00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,270 uh the input comes to us varied by stakeholder group as we would imagine 1680 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:23,280 stakeholder group as we would imagine 1681 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,390 stakeholder group as we would imagine that uh the priorities of families or of 1682 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:26,400 that uh the priorities of families or of 1683 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,910 that uh the priorities of families or of some families may be different than the 1684 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:27,920 some families may be different than the 1685 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,190 some families may be different than the priorities of other families and 1686 00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:29,200 priorities of other families and 1687 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,230 priorities of other families and families may be different than the 1688 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:30,240 families may be different than the 1689 00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,910 families may be different than the priorities of staff etc. And so that's 1690 00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:33,920 priorities of staff etc. And so that's 1691 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,829 priorities of staff etc. And so that's why uh having decision-m that is based 1692 00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:37,839 why uh having decision-m that is based 1693 00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:42,150 why uh having decision-m that is based primarily in board policy and by policy 1694 00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:42,160 primarily in board policy and by policy 1695 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,109 primarily in board policy and by policy our negotiated agreement and then uh 1696 00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:45,119 our negotiated agreement and then uh 1697 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,910 our negotiated agreement and then uh Colorado Department of Education serve 1698 00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:47,920 Colorado Department of Education serve 1699 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,390 Colorado Department of Education serve as what are really the guideposts and 1700 00:36:50,390 --> 00:36:50,400 as what are really the guideposts and 1701 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,470 as what are really the guideposts and then everything else fills in from 1702 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:52,480 then everything else fills in from 1703 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,589 then everything else fills in from there. And so just a little bit more 1704 00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:55,599 there. And so just a little bit more 1705 00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,109 there.

If you won't do it for our planet, then do it for the financial 2124 00:50:16,950 --> 00:50:16,960 our planet, then do it for the financial 2125 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,750 our planet, then do it for the financial opportunity. Okay? Right now, energy is 2126 00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:19,760 opportunity. Okay? Right now, energy is 2127 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,309 opportunity. Okay? Right now, energy is the second highest cost for BBSD schools 2128 00:50:22,309 --> 00:50:22,319 the second highest cost for BBSD schools 2129 00:50:22,319 --> 00:50:24,710 the second highest cost for BBSD schools because not all schools are using green 2130 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:24,720 because not all schools are using green 2131 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:27,270 because not all schools are using green energy. To mitigate this, switch to 2132 00:50:27,270 --> 00:50:27,280 energy. To mitigate this, switch to 2133 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,510 energy. To mitigate this, switch to renewable energy. This will not only 2134 00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:29,520 renewable energy. This will not only 2135 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,510 renewable energy. This will not only reduce carbon emissions, but it can 2136 00:50:31,510 --> 00:50:31,520 reduce carbon emissions, but it can 2137 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,910 reduce carbon emissions, but it can neutralize them. We absolutely need to 2138 00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:33,920 neutralize them. We absolutely need to 2139 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,829 neutralize them. We absolutely need to start prioritizing on-site renewables 2140 00:50:35,829 --> 00:50:35,839 start prioritizing on-site renewables 2141 00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:38,390 start prioritizing on-site renewables and decarbonization right now for both 2142 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:38,400 and decarbonization right now for both 2143 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,710 and decarbonization right now for both the direct environmental impacts and the 2144 00:50:40,710 --> 00:50:40,720 the direct environmental impacts and the 2145 00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:43,510 the direct environmental impacts and the financial benefits. You inspired other 2146 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:43,520 financial benefits. You inspired other 2147 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,430 financial benefits.

A few weeks ago, our entire 2192 00:51:45,190 --> 00:51:45,200 district. A few weeks ago, our entire 2193 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,030 district. A few weeks ago, our entire district shut down because of a planned 2194 00:51:47,030 --> 00:51:47,040 district shut down because of a planned 2195 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,589 district shut down because of a planned outage by XL Energy. Students missed 2196 00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:49,599 outage by XL Energy. Students missed 2197 00:51:49,599 --> 00:51:51,670 outage by XL Energy. Students missed class. Finals had to be rescheduled, 2198 00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:51,680 class. Finals had to be rescheduled, 2199 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,349 class. Finals had to be rescheduled, requiring mid-year reports for college 2200 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:53,359 requiring mid-year reports for college 2201 00:51:53,359 --> 00:51:55,030 requiring mid-year reports for college admissions to be delayed.

This PSPS event was important for 2206 00:51:59,910 --> 00:51:59,920 care. This PSPS event was important for 2207 00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:01,910 care. This PSPS event was important for our safety, but it also reminded us of 2208 00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:01,920 our safety, but it also reminded us of 2209 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,230 our safety, but it also reminded us of how vulnerable our schools are to 2210 00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:04,240 how vulnerable our schools are to 2211 00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:06,309 how vulnerable our schools are to outside forces. 2212 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:06,319 outside forces. 2213 00:52:06,319 --> 00:52:08,390 outside forces. It doesn't have to be this way. Energy 2214 00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:08,400 It doesn't have to be this way. Energy 2215 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,069 It doesn't have to be this way. Energy independence through renewable energy 2216 00:52:10,069 --> 00:52:10,079 independence through renewable energy 2217 00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:11,990 independence through renewable energy like solar panels and battery storage 2218 00:52:11,990 --> 00:52:12,000 like solar panels and battery storage 2219 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,670 like solar panels and battery storage mean our schools could keep the lights 2220 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:13,680 mean our schools could keep the lights 2221 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,829 mean our schools could keep the lights on in these conditions and worse when 2222 00:52:15,829 --> 00:52:15,839 on in these conditions and worse when 2223 00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:17,349 on in these conditions and worse when they need to be used as emergency 2224 00:52:17,349 --> 00:52:17,359 they need to be used as emergency 2225 00:52:17,359 --> 00:52:20,390 they need to be used as emergency shelters. I believe our schools can be 2226 00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:20,400 shelters. I believe our schools can be 2227 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,790 shelters. I believe our schools can be more than just places of learn places to 2228 00:52:22,790 --> 00:52:22,800 more than just places of learn places to 2229 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,790 more than just places of learn places to learn. They can be places that actively 2230 00:52:24,790 --> 00:52:24,800 learn. They can be places that actively 2231 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,510 learn. They can be places that actively make the communities they serve better. 2232 00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:27,520 make the communities they serve better. 2233 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,750 make the communities they serve better.

I'm here to make two concrete requests 2590 00:59:06,789 --> 00:59:06,799 I'm here to make two concrete requests 2591 00:59:06,799 --> 00:59:09,030 I'm here to make two concrete requests to the board to address the very clear 2592 00:59:09,030 --> 00:59:09,040 to the board to address the very clear 2593 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,109 to the board to address the very clear problems that we affected families have 2594 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:11,119 problems that we affected families have 2595 00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:13,510 problems that we affected families have experienced. First, BBSD should 2596 00:59:13,510 --> 00:59:13,520 experienced. First, BBSD should 2597 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,670 experienced. First, BBSD should undertake a study and publish data about 2598 00:59:15,670 --> 00:59:15,680 undertake a study and publish data about 2599 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,990 undertake a study and publish data about the impact districtwide of their 2600 00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:18,000 the impact districtwide of their 2601 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,510 the impact districtwide of their administrative leave and staff 2602 00:59:19,510 --> 00:59:19,520 administrative leave and staff 2603 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,990 administrative leave and staff investigation process. This should show 2604 00:59:21,990 --> 00:59:22,000 investigation process. This should show 2605 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,789 investigation process. This should show with data how BVSD's existing process 2606 00:59:24,789 --> 00:59:24,799 with data how BVSD's existing process 2607 00:59:24,799 --> 00:59:27,190 with data how BVSD's existing process affects students educational experience 2608 00:59:27,190 --> 00:59:27,200 affects students educational experience 2609 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,109 affects students educational experience with formal published findings on 2610 00:59:29,109 --> 00:59:29,119 with formal published findings on 2611 00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:31,030 with formal published findings on whether changes to the process are 2612 00:59:31,030 --> 00:59:31,040 whether changes to the process are 2613 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,990 whether changes to the process are warranted. Second, BBSD should create a 2614 00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:34,000 warranted. Second, BBSD should create a 2615 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,309 warranted. Second, BBSD should create a publish written policy for when 2616 00:59:36,309 --> 00:59:36,319 publish written policy for when 2617 00:59:36,319 --> 00:59:38,309 publish written policy for when administrative investigation leaves are 2618 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:38,319 administrative investigation leaves are 2619 00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:40,549 administrative investigation leaves are triggered that explicitly takes into 2620 00:59:40,549 --> 00:59:40,559 triggered that explicitly takes into 2621 00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:42,950 triggered that explicitly takes into account the negative educational impact 2622 00:59:42,950 --> 00:59:42,960 account the negative educational impact 2623 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,190 account the negative educational impact that these leaves have on students and 2624 00:59:45,190 --> 00:59:45,200 that these leaves have on students and 2625 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,589 that these leaves have on students and justifies to a high standard why any 2626 00:59:47,589 --> 00:59:47,599 justifies to a high standard why any 2627 00:59:47,599 --> 00:59:49,589 justifies to a high standard why any such leave is strictly necessary against 2628 00:59:49,589 --> 00:59:49,599 such leave is strictly necessary against 2629 00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:52,710 such leave is strictly necessary against that backdrop. It appears the BBSD has 2630 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:52,720 that backdrop. It appears the BBSD has 2631 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,829 that backdrop.

Our children's newly formed safe environment was 2744 01:02:00,432 --> 01:02:00,442 newly formed safe environment was 2745 01:02:00,442 --> 01:02:02,710 newly formed safe environment was [clears throat] removed on October 28th 2746 01:02:02,710 --> 01:02:02,720 [clears throat] removed on October 28th 2747 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,309 [clears throat] removed on October 28th without direct acknowledgement to our 2748 01:02:04,309 --> 01:02:04,319 without direct acknowledgement to our 2749 01:02:04,319 --> 01:02:06,390 without direct acknowledgement to our children and their parents.

This has created anxiety, loss of trust, loss of 2752 01:02:09,270 --> 01:02:09,280 created anxiety, loss of trust, loss of 2753 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,270 created anxiety, loss of trust, loss of enjoyment at school, academic 2754 01:02:11,270 --> 01:02:11,280 enjoyment at school, academic 2755 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,430 enjoyment at school, academic regression, social regression, and a 2756 01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:13,440 regression, social regression, and a 2757 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,549 regression, social regression, and a loss of structure. What seemed to be at 2758 01:02:16,549 --> 01:02:16,559 loss of structure. What seemed to be at 2759 01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:19,589 loss of structure. What seemed to be at the start small cracks this at the 2760 01:02:19,589 --> 01:02:19,599 the start small cracks this at the 2761 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,349 the start small cracks this at the beginning of this investigation have 2762 01:02:21,349 --> 01:02:21,359 beginning of this investigation have 2763 01:02:21,359 --> 01:02:22,870 beginning of this investigation have turned into gaps for some of these 2764 01:02:22,870 --> 01:02:22,880 turned into gaps for some of these 2765 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,950 turned into gaps for some of these students in this class. 2766 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:24,960 students in this class. 2767 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,549 students in this class. I think this could be avoided in the 2768 01:02:26,549 --> 01:02:26,559 I think this could be avoided in the 2769 01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:30,710 I think this could be avoided in the future. I suggest required notification 2770 01:02:30,710 --> 01:02:30,720 future. I suggest required notification 2771 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,549 future. I suggest required notification to the parents on day one of an 2772 01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:32,559 to the parents on day one of an 2773 01:02:32,559 --> 01:02:34,549 to the parents on day one of an investigation. While parents should be 2774 01:02:34,549 --> 01:02:34,559 investigation. While parents should be 2775 01:02:34,559 --> 01:02:36,309 investigation. While parents should be aware that their child's teacher will be 2776 01:02:36,309 --> 01:02:36,319 aware that their child's teacher will be 2777 01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:37,990 aware that their child's teacher will be absent for an undetermined amount of 2778 01:02:37,990 --> 01:02:38,000 absent for an undetermined amount of 2779 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,549 absent for an undetermined amount of time and with notification will be able 2780 01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:40,559 time and with notification will be able 2781 01:02:40,559 --> 01:02:42,470 time and with notification will be able to feel their child's unique needs due 2782 01:02:42,470 --> 01:02:42,480 to feel their child's unique needs due 2783 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,789 to feel their child's unique needs due to the situation at hand.

I urge you to consider a required written plan of 2786 01:02:47,349 --> 01:02:47,359 consider a required written plan of 2787 01:02:47,359 --> 01:02:49,589 consider a required written plan of support to be sent to parents within the 2788 01:02:49,589 --> 01:02:49,599 support to be sent to parents within the 2789 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,910 support to be sent to parents within the first week of removal. This will ensure 2790 01:02:51,910 --> 01:02:51,920 first week of removal. This will ensure 2791 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,870 first week of removal. This will ensure that all concerns or needs that have not 2792 01:02:54,870 --> 01:02:54,880 that all concerns or needs that have not 2793 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,510 that all concerns or needs that have not been addressed can be met in a timely 2794 01:02:57,510 --> 01:02:57,520 been addressed can be met in a timely 2795 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,750 been addressed can be met in a timely manner. I also ask the board to consider 2796 01:02:59,750 --> 01:02:59,760 manner. I also ask the board to consider 2797 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:01,430 manner. I also ask the board to consider placement of a licensed teacher in the 2798 01:03:01,430 --> 01:03:01,440 placement of a licensed teacher in the 2799 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,270 placement of a licensed teacher in the general education classroom if the 2800 01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:03,280 general education classroom if the 2801 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,430 general education classroom if the investigation extends beyond 3 weeks. 2802 01:03:05,430 --> 01:03:05,440 investigation extends beyond 3 weeks. 2803 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:06,710 investigation extends beyond 3 weeks. The loss of structure would not be 2804 01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:06,720 The loss of structure would not be 2805 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,150 The loss of structure would not be eliminated, but it would be restored 2806 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:08,160 eliminated, but it would be restored 2807 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,309 eliminated, but it would be restored more quickly.

It 3284 01:11:44,310 --> 01:11:44,320 they don't know what's allowed. It 3285 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,110 they don't know what's allowed. It changes classroom by classroom and they 3286 01:11:47,110 --> 01:11:47,120 changes classroom by classroom and they 3287 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,270 changes classroom by classroom and they are torn by this. There's this tension 3288 01:11:49,270 --> 01:11:49,280 are torn by this. There's this tension 3289 01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,270 are torn by this. There's this tension with them. They know they need AI skills 3290 01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:51,280 with them. They know they need AI skills 3291 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,750 with them. They know they need AI skills to be successful in the future. But 3292 01:11:53,750 --> 01:11:53,760 to be successful in the future. But 3293 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,750 to be successful in the future. But there are real damaging things that AI 3294 01:11:55,750 --> 01:11:55,760 there are real damaging things that AI 3295 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,830 there are real damaging things that AI can do to their development if it's not 3296 01:11:57,830 --> 01:11:57,840 can do to their development if it's not 3297 01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,510 can do to their development if it's not done in a healthy way. If they don't 3298 01:11:59,510 --> 01:11:59,520 done in a healthy way. If they don't 3299 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,790 done in a healthy way. If they don't know how to have a healthy relationship 3300 01:12:00,790 --> 01:12:00,800 know how to have a healthy relationship 3301 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,390 know how to have a healthy relationship with AI and they don't have guidance on 3302 01:12:02,390 --> 01:12:02,400 with AI and they don't have guidance on 3303 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:03,910 with AI and they don't have guidance on that, they can go down a really 3304 01:12:03,910 --> 01:12:03,920 that, they can go down a really 3305 01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,830 that, they can go down a really dangerous path. So they know they have 3306 01:12:05,830 --> 01:12:05,840 dangerous path. So they know they have 3307 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,669 dangerous path. So they know they have to use it, but they aren't being guided 3308 01:12:07,669 --> 01:12:07,679 to use it, but they aren't being guided 3309 01:12:07,679 --> 01:12:09,910 to use it, but they aren't being guided in how.

So there's we 3822 01:21:53,910 --> 01:21:53,920 and an institution. So there's we 3823 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,350 and an institution. So there's we there's lots of things we cannot and 3824 01:21:55,350 --> 01:21:55,360 there's lots of things we cannot and 3825 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,070 there's lots of things we cannot and should not talk about. Um, I do agree 3826 01:21:58,070 --> 01:21:58,080 should not talk about. Um, I do agree 3827 01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:01,430 should not talk about. Um, I do agree though that when when parents are facing 3828 01:22:01,430 --> 01:22:01,440 though that when when parents are facing 3829 01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:03,750 though that when when parents are facing a likely long-term absence of a teacher 3830 01:22:03,750 --> 01:22:03,760 a likely long-term absence of a teacher 3831 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,110 a likely long-term absence of a teacher that the district can do more to 3832 01:22:05,110 --> 01:22:05,120 that the district can do more to 3833 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,350 that the district can do more to communicate to them. So, we don't have 3834 01:22:07,350 --> 01:22:07,360 communicate to them. So, we don't have 3835 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:08,470 communicate to them. So, we don't have to talk about ways that are 3836 01:22:08,470 --> 01:22:08,480 to talk about ways that are 3837 01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:10,390 to talk about ways that are inappropriate for the actual case that's 3838 01:22:10,390 --> 01:22:10,400 inappropriate for the actual case that's 3839 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,950 inappropriate for the actual case that's before them. But when parents of 3840 01:22:12,950 --> 01:22:12,960 before them. But when parents of 3841 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,310 before them. But when parents of especially young kids are knowing that 3842 01:22:14,310 --> 01:22:14,320 especially young kids are knowing that 3843 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:15,750 especially young kids are knowing that the primary teacher is going to be with 3844 01:22:15,750 --> 01:22:15,760 the primary teacher is going to be with 3845 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,830 the primary teacher is going to be with their kid every day, may be out for a 3846 01:22:17,830 --> 01:22:17,840 their kid every day, may be out for a 3847 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,910 their kid every day, may be out for a long time, parents deserve to know 3848 01:22:19,910 --> 01:22:19,920 long time, parents deserve to know 3849 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:22,070 long time, parents deserve to know what's at least what's going to h happen 3850 01:22:22,070 --> 01:22:22,080 what's at least what's going to h happen 3851 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,750 what's at least what's going to h happen that's affecting their kid. So I 3852 01:22:23,750 --> 01:22:23,760 that's affecting their kid. So I 3853 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,070 that's affecting their kid. So I continue to encourage us as a district 3854 01:22:26,070 --> 01:22:26,080 continue to encourage us as a district 3855 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,470 continue to encourage us as a district to to continue thinking about that from 3856 01:22:28,470 --> 01:22:28,480 to to continue thinking about that from 3857 01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:31,430 to to continue thinking about that from a parentf facing perspective and I know 3858 01:22:31,430 --> 01:22:31,440 a parentf facing perspective and I know 3859 01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:33,510 a parentf facing perspective and I know we have to look after we have to handle 3860 01:22:33,510 --> 01:22:33,520 we have to look after we have to handle 3861 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,669 we have to look after we have to handle these tricky things appropriately which 3862 01:22:35,669 --> 01:22:35,679 these tricky things appropriately which 3863 01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:38,070 these tricky things appropriately which is not easy and we have to handle all 3864 01:22:38,070 --> 01:22:38,080 is not easy and we have to handle all 3865 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,470 is not easy and we have to handle all the obligations that constrain us but I 3866 01:22:40,470 --> 01:22:40,480 the obligations that constrain us but I 3867 01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:43,430 the obligations that constrain us but I also want us to maintain an empathetic 3868 01:22:43,430 --> 01:22:43,440 also want us to maintain an empathetic 3869 01:22:43,440 --> 01:22:45,750 also want us to maintain an empathetic uh communication with the parents as 3870 01:22:45,750 --> 01:22:45,760 uh communication with the parents as 3871 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,669 uh communication with the parents as much as we can within those constraints 3872 01:22:47,669 --> 01:22:47,679 much as we can within those constraints 3873 01:22:47,679 --> 01:22:48,709 much as we can within those constraints and I don't think that's about the 3874 01:22:48,709 --> 01:22:48,719 and I don't think that's about the 3875 01:22:48,719 --> 01:22:52,470 and I don't think that's about the investig that's can be with um uh family 3876 01:22:52,470 --> 01:22:52,480 investig that's can be with um uh family 3877 01:22:52,480 --> 01:22:54,229 investig that's can be with um uh family medical leave or whatever else we can't 3878 01:22:54,229 --> 01:22:54,239 medical leave or whatever else we can't 3879 01:22:54,239 --> 01:22:56,070 medical leave or whatever else we can't talk about. But when the parents are 3880 01:22:56,070 --> 01:22:56,080 talk about. But when the parents are 3881 01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:57,830 talk about.

So that you know that it could be something we could 4986 01:44:36,790 --> 01:44:36,800 know that it could be something we could 4987 01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,109 know that it could be something we could think about as we head into negotiations 4988 01:44:39,109 --> 01:44:39,119 think about as we head into negotiations 4989 01:44:39,119 --> 01:44:42,870 think about as we head into negotiations as just a cleanup measure. Uh typically 4990 01:44:42,870 --> 01:44:42,880 as just a cleanup measure. Uh typically 4991 01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,109 as just a cleanup measure. Uh typically we present this well before January 4992 01:44:45,109 --> 01:44:45,119 we present this well before January 4993 01:44:45,119 --> 01:44:47,510 we present this well before January 10th. Uh we present typically in 4994 01:44:47,510 --> 01:44:47,520 10th. Uh we present typically in 4995 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:49,030 10th. Uh we present typically in November. 4996 01:44:49,030 --> 01:44:49,040 November. 4997 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,510 November. Uh but um that's something that we could 4998 01:44:51,510 --> 01:44:51,520 Uh but um that's something that we could 4999 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,149 Uh but um that's something that we could discuss with BVA. But until we do that, 5000 01:44:54,149 --> 01:44:54,159 discuss with BVA. But until we do that, 5001 01:44:54,159 --> 01:44:57,669 discuss with BVA. But until we do that, I think it has to stay in the policy. 5002 01:44:57,669 --> 01:44:57,679 I think it has to stay in the policy. 5003 01:44:57,679 --> 01:44:59,350 I think it has to stay in the policy. And just so our new board members know 5004 01:44:59,350 --> 01:44:59,360 And just so our new board members know 5005 01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:01,350 And just so our new board members know again, part of that was we had a very 5006 01:45:01,350 --> 01:45:01,360 again, part of that was we had a very 5007 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,510 again, part of that was we had a very engaged conversation on this policy. It 5008 01:45:03,510 --> 01:45:03,520 engaged conversation on this policy. It 5009 01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:05,669 engaged conversation on this policy. It took multiple gorounds and that kind of 5010 01:45:05,669 --> 01:45:05,679 took multiple gorounds and that kind of 5011 01:45:05,679 --> 01:45:07,590 took multiple gorounds and that kind of just getting we had to have the policy 5012 01:45:07,590 --> 01:45:07,600 just getting we had to have the policy 5013 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:09,350 just getting we had to have the policy in place with the new regulation before 5014 01:45:09,350 --> 01:45:09,360 in place with the new regulation before 5015 01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,870 in place with the new regulation before we could draft a calendar. So that that 5016 01:45:12,870 --> 01:45:12,880 we could draft a calendar. So that that 5017 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:15,910 we could draft a calendar. So that that was the reason why. But typically 5018 01:45:15,910 --> 01:45:15,920 was the reason why. But typically 5019 01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:17,910 was the reason why. But typically November it's before we head out for the 5020 01:45:17,910 --> 01:45:17,920 November it's before we head out for the 5021 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,590 November it's before we head out for the end of the year that we do discuss these 5022 01:45:19,590 --> 01:45:19,600 end of the year that we do discuss these 5023 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,310 end of the year that we do discuss these calendars. 5024 01:45:22,310 --> 01:45:22,320 calendars. 5025 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,390 calendars. Jason. 5026 01:45:24,390 --> 01:45:24,400 Jason. 5027 01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:25,990 Jason. Yeah. Yeah, I just had it's more maybe a 5028 01:45:25,990 --> 01:45:26,000 Yeah. Yeah, I just had it's more maybe a 5029 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,470 Yeah. Yeah, I just had it's more maybe a clarification in kind of going back to 5030 01:45:28,470 --> 01:45:28,480 clarification in kind of going back to 5031 01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:30,310 clarification in kind of going back to our earlier conversation tonight on 5032 01:45:30,310 --> 01:45:30,320 our earlier conversation tonight on 5033 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,109 our earlier conversation tonight on Veterans Day. Um, in that slide deck 5034 01:45:33,109 --> 01:45:33,119 Veterans Day. Um, in that slide deck 5035 01:45:33,119 --> 01:45:35,510 Veterans Day. Um, in that slide deck that we saw earlier, it said that 5036 01:45:35,510 --> 01:45:35,520 that we saw earlier, it said that 5037 01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:37,830 that we saw earlier, it said that Veterans Day was a must on our calendar 5038 01:45:37,830 --> 01:45:37,840 Veterans Day was a must on our calendar 5039 01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,310 Veterans Day was a must on our calendar recognized by the state for November 5040 01:45:40,310 --> 01:45:40,320 recognized by the state for November 5041 01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:41,830 recognized by the state for November 11th. I wonder if that's just recognized 5042 01:45:41,830 --> 01:45:41,840 11th. I wonder if that's just recognized 5043 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,070 11th. I wonder if that's just recognized or has to be observed. And then here 5044 01:45:44,070 --> 01:45:44,080 or has to be observed. And then here 5045 01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:48,629 or has to be observed. And then here it's listed as a um vacation or closure 5046 01:45:48,629 --> 01:45:48,639 it's listed as a um vacation or closure 5047 01:45:48,639 --> 01:45:49,990 it's listed as a um vacation or closure date. And so just given our 5048 01:45:49,990 --> 01:45:50,000 date. And so just given our 5049 01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,229 date. And so just given our conversation, I don't I don't have 5050 01:45:52,229 --> 01:45:52,239 conversation, I don't I don't have 5051 01:45:52,239 --> 01:45:53,510 conversation, I don't I don't have strong feelings about it, but I feel 5052 01:45:53,510 --> 01:45:53,520 strong feelings about it, but I feel 5053 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,229 strong feelings about it, but I feel like we need to have some um some 5054 01:45:56,229 --> 01:45:56,239 like we need to have some um some 5055 01:45:56,239 --> 01:45:58,310 like we need to have some um some clarity around or maybe some consistency 5056 01:45:58,310 --> 01:45:58,320 clarity around or maybe some consistency 5057 01:45:58,320 --> 01:45:59,830 clarity around or maybe some consistency and maybe I just missed something. I 5058 01:45:59,830 --> 01:45:59,840 and maybe I just missed something. I 5059 01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:01,910 and maybe I just missed something. I don't know. 5060 01:46:01,910 --> 01:46:01,920 don't know. 5061 01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:04,950 don't know. Um, I think what actually happened is 5062 01:46:04,950 --> 01:46:04,960 Um, I think what actually happened is 5063 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,590 Um, I think what actually happened is that in that slide deck there typically 5064 01:46:07,590 --> 01:46:07,600 that in that slide deck there typically 5065 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,430 that in that slide deck there typically there there was a slide that we were 5066 01:46:09,430 --> 01:46:09,440 there there was a slide that we were 5067 01:46:09,440 --> 01:46:11,510 there there was a slide that we were going to skip because when we looked at 5068 01:46:11,510 --> 01:46:11,520 going to skip because when we looked at 5069 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,390 going to skip because when we looked at this language originally, we really did 5070 01:46:14,390 --> 01:46:14,400 this language originally, we really did 5071 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,390 this language originally, we really did understand that those holidays were 5072 01:46:16,390 --> 01:46:16,400 understand that those holidays were 5073 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,229 understand that those holidays were required and that was the way it had 5074 01:46:18,229 --> 01:46:18,239 required and that was the way it had 5075 01:46:18,239 --> 01:46:21,109 required and that was the way it had always been referenced. When I went back 5076 01:46:21,109 --> 01:46:21,119 always been referenced. When I went back 5077 01:46:21,119 --> 01:46:23,910 always been referenced. When I went back through and really analyzed each of the 5078 01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:23,920 through and really analyzed each of the 5079 01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,870 through and really analyzed each of the negotiated agreement and the state law, 5080 01:46:26,870 --> 01:46:26,880 negotiated agreement and the state law, 5081 01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,229 negotiated agreement and the state law, we realized that it is not a mandated 5082 01:46:30,229 --> 01:46:30,239 we realized that it is not a mandated 5083 01:46:30,239 --> 01:46:33,109 we realized that it is not a mandated closure date. So, I think there was a 5084 01:46:33,109 --> 01:46:33,119 closure date. So, I think there was a 5085 01:46:33,119 --> 01:46:35,270 closure date. So, I think there was a slide that was confusing and I'll make 5086 01:46:35,270 --> 01:46:35,280 slide that was confusing and I'll make 5087 01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,590 slide that was confusing and I'll make sure that I'm I'm clear on that and our 5088 01:46:37,590 --> 01:46:37,600 sure that I'm I'm clear on that and our 5089 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,750 sure that I'm I'm clear on that and our language is consistent all the way 5090 01:46:39,750 --> 01:46:39,760 language is consistent all the way 5091 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,390 language is consistent all the way through. Must be considered, but it's 5092 01:46:42,390 --> 01:46:42,400 through. Must be considered, but it's 5093 01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:45,669 through. Must be considered, but it's not mandated as a closure day. But 5094 01:46:45,669 --> 01:46:45,679 not mandated as a closure day. But 5095 01:46:45,679 --> 01:46:47,510 not mandated as a closure day. But so, Kathleen, in this in this policy, it 5096 01:46:47,510 --> 01:46:47,520 so, Kathleen, in this in this policy, it 5097 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,270 so, Kathleen, in this in this policy, it does it is listed here. Do we take that 5098 01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:49,280 does it is listed here. Do we take that 5099 01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:52,870 does it is listed here. Do we take that out? It says holidays, holiday and 5100 01:46:52,870 --> 01:46:52,880 out? It says holidays, holiday and 5101 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:54,709 out? It says holidays, holiday and vacation or closure date. So I guess it 5102 01:46:54,709 --> 01:46:54,719 vacation or closure date. So I guess it 5103 01:46:54,719 --> 01:46:55,990 vacation or closure date. So I guess it doesn't have to be closure.

So we have our uh 5290 01:51:29,030 --> 01:51:29,040 last fiscal year. So we have our uh 5291 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,830 last fiscal year. So we have our uh carryover items. These are unspent 5292 01:51:31,830 --> 01:51:31,840 carryover items. These are unspent 5293 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,950 carryover items. These are unspent budgets from the prior fiscal year. Uh 5294 01:51:34,950 --> 01:51:34,960 budgets from the prior fiscal year. Uh 5295 01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,550 budgets from the prior fiscal year. Uh additional revenue uh for uh Medicaid 5296 01:51:38,550 --> 01:51:38,560 additional revenue uh for uh Medicaid 5297 01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,430 additional revenue uh for uh Medicaid funding and specific ownership tax. Uh 5298 01:51:41,430 --> 01:51:41,440 funding and specific ownership tax. Uh 5299 01:51:41,440 --> 01:51:44,870 funding and specific ownership tax. Uh net transfers. Uh so these these are we 5300 01:51:44,870 --> 01:51:44,880 net transfers. Uh so these these are we 5301 01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:47,830 net transfers. Uh so these these are we received more revenue in last fiscal 5302 01:51:47,830 --> 01:51:47,840 received more revenue in last fiscal 5303 01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:49,990 received more revenue in last fiscal year than we had projected in the uh 5304 01:51:49,990 --> 01:51:50,000 year than we had projected in the uh 5305 01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,070 year than we had projected in the uh adopted budget in June. So that's what 5306 01:51:52,070 --> 01:51:52,080 adopted budget in June. So that's what 5307 01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:55,750 adopted budget in June. So that's what these changes are. um net transfers. So, 5308 01:51:55,750 --> 01:51:55,760 these changes are. um net transfers. So, 5309 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,790 these changes are. um net transfers. So, we did not have to transfer some dollars 5310 01:51:58,790 --> 01:51:58,800 we did not have to transfer some dollars 5311 01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:00,950 we did not have to transfer some dollars uh to other funds out of the general 5312 01:52:00,950 --> 01:52:00,960 uh to other funds out of the general 5313 01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:04,390 uh to other funds out of the general fund uh which uh increased the beginning 5314 01:52:04,390 --> 01:52:04,400 fund uh which uh increased the beginning 5315 01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:06,229 fund uh which uh increased the beginning balance uh for the general operating 5316 01:52:06,229 --> 01:52:06,239 balance uh for the general operating 5317 01:52:06,239 --> 01:52:10,149 balance uh for the general operating fund and then net unspent budgets in 5318 01:52:10,149 --> 01:52:10,159 fund and then net unspent budgets in 5319 01:52:10,159 --> 01:52:12,629 fund and then net unspent budgets in personnel and non-personnel. 5320 01:52:12,629 --> 01:52:12,639 personnel and non-personnel. 5321 01:52:12,639 --> 01:52:17,589 personnel and non-personnel. So, an increase of about uh $23 million 5322 01:52:17,589 --> 01:52:17,599 So, an increase of about uh $23 million 5323 01:52:17,599 --> 01:52:21,030 So, an increase of about uh $23 million uh 23.8 eight uh in the beginning 5324 01:52:21,030 --> 01:52:21,040 uh 23.8 eight uh in the beginning 5325 01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:23,430 uh 23.8 eight uh in the beginning balance 5326 01:52:23,430 --> 01:52:23,440 balance 5327 01:52:23,440 --> 01:52:26,390 balance on the revenue side. Uh specific 5328 01:52:26,390 --> 01:52:26,400 on the revenue side. Uh specific 5329 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,589 on the revenue side. Uh specific ownership tax uh as uh Dr. Anderson 5330 01:52:29,589 --> 01:52:29,599 ownership tax uh as uh Dr. Anderson 5331 01:52:29,599 --> 01:52:31,750 ownership tax uh as uh Dr. Anderson mentioned, this is the non-equalized 5332 01:52:31,750 --> 01:52:31,760 mentioned, this is the non-equalized 5333 01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:33,990 mentioned, this is the non-equalized portion. This is the portion that is 5334 01:52:33,990 --> 01:52:34,000 portion. This is the portion that is 5335 01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,709 portion. This is the portion that is outside of the school finance act. Uh 5336 01:52:36,709 --> 01:52:36,719 outside of the school finance act. Uh 5337 01:52:36,719 --> 01:52:40,790 outside of the school finance act. Uh that $800,000 increase uh the total 5338 01:52:40,790 --> 01:52:40,800 that $800,000 increase uh the total 5339 01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:43,510 that $800,000 increase uh the total built into the budget uh for this year 5340 01:52:43,510 --> 01:52:43,520 built into the budget uh for this year 5341 01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,470 built into the budget uh for this year is uh 6.8 million. So that would be the 5342 01:52:46,470 --> 01:52:46,480 is uh 6.8 million. So that would be the 5343 01:52:46,480 --> 01:52:50,149 is uh 6.8 million. So that would be the loss uh and the reduction in funding um 5344 01:52:50,149 --> 01:52:50,159 loss uh and the reduction in funding um 5345 01:52:50,159 --> 01:52:52,950 loss uh and the reduction in funding um if that change were put into place by 5346 01:52:52,950 --> 01:52:52,960 if that change were put into place by 5347 01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:55,030 if that change were put into place by the legislature. 5348 01:52:55,030 --> 01:52:55,040 the legislature. 5349 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,070 the legislature. Uh ongoing revenue 1.5 million. So this 5350 01:52:58,070 --> 01:52:58,080 Uh ongoing revenue 1.5 million. So this 5351 01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,070 Uh ongoing revenue 1.5 million. So this is the finance act. This is uh 5352 01:53:00,070 --> 01:53:00,080 is the finance act. This is uh 5353 01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:02,709 is the finance act. This is uh representative of that uh additional 5354 01:53:02,709 --> 01:53:02,719 representative of that uh additional 5355 01:53:02,719 --> 01:53:05,910 representative of that uh additional decline in students 5356 01:53:05,910 --> 01:53:05,920 decline in students 5357 01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:08,229 decline in students uh property taxes. So mill levy 5358 01:53:08,229 --> 01:53:08,239 uh property taxes. So mill levy 5359 01:53:08,239 --> 01:53:10,629 uh property taxes. So mill levy collections are a little bit down. Uh 5360 01:53:10,629 --> 01:53:10,639 collections are a little bit down. Uh 5361 01:53:10,639 --> 01:53:14,229 collections are a little bit down. Uh this is uh projecting the um loss of 5362 01:53:14,229 --> 01:53:14,239 this is uh projecting the um loss of 5363 01:53:14,239 --> 01:53:16,870 this is uh projecting the um loss of students. So this is based on the uh 5364 01:53:16,870 --> 01:53:16,880 students. So this is based on the uh 5365 01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:19,270 students. So this is based on the uh total program funding. So when that uh 5366 01:53:19,270 --> 01:53:19,280 total program funding. So when that uh 5367 01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,430 total program funding. So when that uh goes down a little bit, the total uh 5368 01:53:21,430 --> 01:53:21,440 goes down a little bit, the total uh 5369 01:53:21,440 --> 01:53:23,669 goes down a little bit, the total uh mill levy collections go down. Uh 5370 01:53:23,669 --> 01:53:23,679 mill levy collections go down. Uh 5371 01:53:23,679 --> 01:53:26,790 mill levy collections go down. Uh abatements which is a portion of uh 5372 01:53:26,790 --> 01:53:26,800 abatements which is a portion of uh 5373 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,189 abatements which is a portion of uh property taxes. So these are a levy that 5374 01:53:29,189 --> 01:53:29,199 property taxes. So these are a levy that 5375 01:53:29,199 --> 01:53:32,229 property taxes. So these are a levy that we're informed of how much has been 5376 01:53:32,229 --> 01:53:32,239 we're informed of how much has been 5377 01:53:32,239 --> 01:53:35,669 we're informed of how much has been abated by the various counties. 5378 01:53:35,669 --> 01:53:35,679 abated by the various counties. 5379 01:53:35,679 --> 01:53:40,070 abated by the various counties. And so uh we don't increase the uh 5380 01:53:40,070 --> 01:53:40,080 And so uh we don't increase the uh 5381 01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:42,629 And so uh we don't increase the uh ongoing budget on the revenue side by 5382 01:53:42,629 --> 01:53:42,639 ongoing budget on the revenue side by 5383 01:53:42,639 --> 01:53:44,950 ongoing budget on the revenue side by the total amount uh because it can be 5384 01:53:44,950 --> 01:53:44,960 the total amount uh because it can be 5385 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:48,070 the total amount uh because it can be kind of spiky from year to year. So we 5386 01:53:48,070 --> 01:53:48,080 kind of spiky from year to year. So we 5387 01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,870 kind of spiky from year to year. So we count this as one-time revenue uh and 5388 01:53:50,870 --> 01:53:50,880 count this as one-time revenue uh and 5389 01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,750 count this as one-time revenue uh and then uh one-time revenue also for 5390 01:53:53,750 --> 01:53:53,760 then uh one-time revenue also for 5391 01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,950 then uh one-time revenue also for interest earnings and uh donation from 5392 01:53:56,950 --> 01:53:56,960 interest earnings and uh donation from 5393 01:53:56,960 --> 01:54:01,109 interest earnings and uh donation from impact on education 5394 01:54:01,109 --> 01:54:01,119 5395 01:54:01,119 --> 01:54:03,750 on the expenditure side. Uh so those 5396 01:54:03,750 --> 01:54:03,760 on the expenditure side. Uh so those 5397 01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:06,550 on the expenditure side. Uh so those unspent budgets that uh from last year 5398 01:54:06,550 --> 01:54:06,560 unspent budgets that uh from last year 5399 01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,669 unspent budgets that uh from last year that uh led to the increase in the 5400 01:54:09,669 --> 01:54:09,679 that uh led to the increase in the 5401 01:54:09,679 --> 01:54:11,990 that uh led to the increase in the beginning balance uh those are our 5402 01:54:11,990 --> 01:54:12,000 beginning balance uh those are our 5403 01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,390 beginning balance uh those are our carryover items. So we have standard 5404 01:54:14,390 --> 01:54:14,400 carryover items. So we have standard 5405 01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:18,149 carryover items. So we have standard carryover uh textbooks uh unspent 5406 01:54:18,149 --> 01:54:18,159 carryover uh textbooks uh unspent 5407 01:54:18,159 --> 01:54:20,950 carryover uh textbooks uh unspent materials adoption uh Medicaid funding 5408 01:54:20,950 --> 01:54:20,960 materials adoption uh Medicaid funding 5409 01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:23,510 materials adoption uh Medicaid funding which is required by law and then the 5410 01:54:23,510 --> 01:54:23,520 which is required by law and then the 5411 01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:25,589 which is required by law and then the school resource allocation those unspent 5412 01:54:25,589 --> 01:54:25,599 school resource allocation those unspent 5413 01:54:25,599 --> 01:54:28,070 school resource allocation those unspent budgets there. special carryover 5414 01:54:28,070 --> 01:54:28,080 budgets there. special carryover 5415 01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:30,149 budgets there. special carryover requests. So, these are from schools, 5416 01:54:30,149 --> 01:54:30,159 requests. So, these are from schools, 5417 01:54:30,159 --> 01:54:32,629 requests. So, these are from schools, departments, or district-wide uh 5418 01:54:32,629 --> 01:54:32,639 departments, or district-wide uh 5419 01:54:32,639 --> 01:54:35,589 departments, or district-wide uh activities. Uh one-time funding request 5420 01:54:35,589 --> 01:54:35,599 activities. Uh one-time funding request 5421 01:54:35,599 --> 01:54:38,070 activities.

Uh so this is just a a recognition that uh those reserves 5462 01:55:42,550 --> 01:55:42,560 a a recognition that uh those reserves 5463 01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:44,790 a a recognition that uh those reserves in the staffing formula that were 5464 01:55:44,790 --> 01:55:44,800 in the staffing formula that were 5465 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:47,990 in the staffing formula that were remaining were able to be reduced. 5466 01:55:47,990 --> 01:55:48,000 remaining were able to be reduced. 5467 01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,189 remaining were able to be reduced. Uh ongoing expenditures for inflation 5468 01:55:51,189 --> 01:55:51,199 Uh ongoing expenditures for inflation 5469 01:55:51,199 --> 01:55:53,189 Uh ongoing expenditures for inflation and software. 5470 01:55:53,189 --> 01:55:53,199 and software. 5471 01:55:53,199 --> 01:55:57,109 and software. Uh so ongoing changes, a reduction uh 5472 01:55:57,109 --> 01:55:57,119 Uh so ongoing changes, a reduction uh 5473 01:55:57,119 --> 01:55:59,990 Uh so ongoing changes, a reduction uh and then an increase in one-time uh 5474 01:55:59,990 --> 01:56:00,000 and then an increase in one-time uh 5475 01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:02,950 and then an increase in one-time uh additions to the budget 5476 01:56:02,950 --> 01:56:02,960 additions to the budget 5477 01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,470 additions to the budget for transfers. Uh so we have built into 5478 01:56:06,470 --> 01:56:06,480 for transfers. Uh so we have built into 5479 01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:09,990 for transfers. Uh so we have built into the budget uh a transfer of $5 million 5480 01:56:09,990 --> 01:56:10,000 the budget uh a transfer of $5 million 5481 01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:12,550 the budget uh a transfer of $5 million for future investment in the diff uh 5482 01:56:12,550 --> 01:56:12,560 for future investment in the diff uh 5483 01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:15,189 for future investment in the diff uh differentiated school support fund. Uh 5484 01:56:15,189 --> 01:56:15,199 differentiated school support fund. Uh 5485 01:56:15,199 --> 01:56:19,430 differentiated school support fund. Uh this will um make a 5486 01:56:19,430 --> 01:56:19,440 this will um make a 5487 01:56:19,440 --> 01:56:21,910 this will um make a the third 5488 01:56:21,910 --> 01:56:21,920 the third 5489 01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:24,070 the third twoyear this is a second year of the 5490 01:56:24,070 --> 01:56:24,080 twoyear this is a second year of the 5491 01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:26,149 twoyear this is a second year of the third cycle of the differentiated 5492 01:56:26,149 --> 01:56:26,159 third cycle of the differentiated 5493 01:56:26,159 --> 01:56:28,310 third cycle of the differentiated funding cycles that we've been doing. Uh 5494 01:56:28,310 --> 01:56:28,320 funding cycles that we've been doing. Uh 5495 01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:30,310 funding cycles that we've been doing. Uh it's kind of a mouthful to think of uh 5496 01:56:30,310 --> 01:56:30,320 it's kind of a mouthful to think of uh 5497 01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:32,390 it's kind of a mouthful to think of uh but uh we started it with a three-year 5498 01:56:32,390 --> 01:56:32,400 but uh we started it with a three-year 5499 01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:36,390 but uh we started it with a three-year cycle. We are in the second year of the 5500 01:56:36,390 --> 01:56:36,400 cycle. We are in the second year of the 5501 01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,950 cycle. We are in the second year of the second thirdyear cycle and we have 5502 01:56:38,950 --> 01:56:38,960 second thirdyear cycle and we have 5503 01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:42,310 second thirdyear cycle and we have funding available for the third year and 5504 01:56:42,310 --> 01:56:42,320 funding available for the third year and 5505 01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,430 funding available for the third year and two more years beyond that. So uh the 5506 01:56:45,430 --> 01:56:45,440 two more years beyond that. So uh the 5507 01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:48,629 two more years beyond that. So uh the differentiated funding program is set uh 5508 01:56:48,629 --> 01:56:48,639 differentiated funding program is set uh 5509 01:56:48,639 --> 01:56:52,709 differentiated funding program is set uh to be funded for uh several more years. 5510 01:56:52,709 --> 01:56:52,719 to be funded for uh several more years. 5511 01:56:52,719 --> 01:56:55,990 to be funded for uh several more years. Preschool funding uh there was a change 5512 01:56:55,990 --> 01:56:56,000 Preschool funding uh there was a change 5513 01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:01,109 Preschool funding uh there was a change in how uh CDC is funding uh preschool. 5514 01:57:01,109 --> 01:57:01,119 in how uh CDC is funding uh preschool. 5515 01:57:01,119 --> 01:57:03,910 in how uh CDC is funding uh preschool. So we uh that was a reduction uh in 5516 01:57:03,910 --> 01:57:03,920 So we uh that was a reduction uh in 5517 01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:05,750 So we uh that was a reduction uh in funding. So we had to increase the 5518 01:57:05,750 --> 01:57:05,760 funding. So we had to increase the 5519 01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:09,589 funding. So we had to increase the transfer over to the preschool fund. Um 5520 01:57:09,589 --> 01:57:09,599 transfer over to the preschool fund. Um 5521 01:57:09,599 --> 01:57:12,229 transfer over to the preschool fund. Um one-time expenditure 5522 01:57:12,229 --> 01:57:12,239 one-time expenditure 5523 01:57:12,239 --> 01:57:14,229 one-time expenditure uh reduction because there was a 5524 01:57:14,229 --> 01:57:14,239 uh reduction because there was a 5525 01:57:14,239 --> 01:57:16,709 uh reduction because there was a donation from uh impact on education 5526 01:57:16,709 --> 01:57:16,719 donation from uh impact on education 5527 01:57:16,719 --> 01:57:19,990 donation from uh impact on education going into uh the preschool fund uh and 5528 01:57:19,990 --> 01:57:20,000 going into uh the preschool fund uh and 5529 01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:21,830 going into uh the preschool fund uh and some adjustments in compensation in 5530 01:57:21,830 --> 01:57:21,840 some adjustments in compensation in 5531 01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:25,189 some adjustments in compensation in there. uh transportation. Uh this is 5532 01:57:25,189 --> 01:57:25,199 there. uh transportation. Uh this is 5533 01:57:25,199 --> 01:57:27,750 there. uh transportation. Uh this is relatively small dollar amounts uh here, 5534 01:57:27,750 --> 01:57:27,760 relatively small dollar amounts uh here, 5535 01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:30,229 relatively small dollar amounts uh here, but uh some reorganization due to the 5536 01:57:30,229 --> 01:57:30,239 but uh some reorganization due to the 5537 01:57:30,239 --> 01:57:32,310 but uh some reorganization due to the staffing that has been changed around in 5538 01:57:32,310 --> 01:57:32,320 staffing that has been changed around in 5539 01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:34,550 staffing that has been changed around in the transportation department and the 5540 01:57:34,550 --> 01:57:34,560 the transportation department and the 5541 01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:37,189 the transportation department and the state reimbursement uh going down a 5542 01:57:37,189 --> 01:57:37,199 state reimbursement uh going down a 5543 01:57:37,199 --> 01:57:40,149 state reimbursement uh going down a little bit.

Uh we give them dollars back if we charge them too much 5560 01:58:03,990 --> 01:58:04,000 dollars back if we charge them too much 5561 01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,310 dollars back if we charge them too much after the reconciliation which is uh 5562 01:58:06,310 --> 01:58:06,320 after the reconciliation which is uh 5563 01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:09,510 after the reconciliation which is uh what's happening here. Uh as well as uh 5564 01:58:09,510 --> 01:58:09,520 what's happening here. Uh as well as uh 5565 01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:12,070 what's happening here. Uh as well as uh a little transfer into the cap reserve 5566 01:58:12,070 --> 01:58:12,080 a little transfer into the cap reserve 5567 01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:14,229 a little transfer into the cap reserve fund 5568 01:58:14,229 --> 01:58:14,239 fund 5569 01:58:14,239 --> 01:58:17,030 fund on the reserve side. Uh so we have 5570 01:58:17,030 --> 01:58:17,040 on the reserve side. Uh so we have 5571 01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:20,310 on the reserve side. Uh so we have increases in the tabor and contingency 5572 01:58:20,310 --> 01:58:20,320 increases in the tabor and contingency 5573 01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,750 increases in the tabor and contingency reserves at 3% and 4% respectively.

Athletics, uh we have a 5718 02:01:36,070 --> 02:01:36,080 practice change. Athletics, uh we have a 5719 02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:38,950 practice change. Athletics, uh we have a updated uh ticket sale and participation 5720 02:01:38,950 --> 02:01:38,960 updated uh ticket sale and participation 5721 02:01:38,960 --> 02:01:41,030 updated uh ticket sale and participation revenue projections. 5722 02:01:41,030 --> 02:01:41,040 revenue projections. 5723 02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:44,470 revenue projections. uh the revenue projections were uh 5724 02:01:44,470 --> 02:01:44,480 uh the revenue projections were uh 5725 02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,750 uh the revenue projections were uh perhaps a bit robust uh and so we had to 5726 02:01:47,750 --> 02:01:47,760 perhaps a bit robust uh and so we had to 5727 02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:50,229 perhaps a bit robust uh and so we had to dial the revenue back uh which was a 5728 02:01:50,229 --> 02:01:50,239 dial the revenue back uh which was a 5729 02:01:50,239 --> 02:01:52,310 dial the revenue back uh which was a increase in the transfer over to the 5730 02:01:52,310 --> 02:01:52,320 increase in the transfer over to the 5731 02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,629 increase in the transfer over to the athletics fund and then in 5732 02:01:54,629 --> 02:01:54,639 athletics fund and then in 5733 02:01:54,639 --> 02:01:57,750 athletics fund and then in transportation uh that reorganization of 5734 02:01:57,750 --> 02:01:57,760 transportation uh that reorganization of 5735 02:01:57,760 --> 02:02:02,950 transportation uh that reorganization of the positions uh that I mentioned 5736 02:02:02,950 --> 02:02:02,960 5737 02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:05,669 moving into the strategic investments. 5738 02:02:05,669 --> 02:02:05,679 moving into the strategic investments. 5739 02:02:05,679 --> 02:02:07,910 moving into the strategic investments. Uh so 5740 02:02:07,910 --> 02:02:07,920 Uh so 5741 02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:10,870 Uh so the the important piece to capture out 5742 02:02:10,870 --> 02:02:10,880 the the important piece to capture out 5743 02:02:10,880 --> 02:02:13,750 the the important piece to capture out of this is these are the items that are 5744 02:02:13,750 --> 02:02:13,760 of this is these are the items that are 5745 02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:16,950 of this is these are the items that are in the budget that are we'll say uh 5746 02:02:16,950 --> 02:02:16,960 in the budget that are we'll say uh 5747 02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:19,830 in the budget that are we'll say uh easily identified. 5748 02:02:19,830 --> 02:02:19,840 easily identified. 5749 02:02:19,840 --> 02:02:22,550 easily identified. Um it's 5750 02:02:22,550 --> 02:02:22,560 Um it's 5751 02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:24,629 Um it's governmental accounting is not cost 5752 02:02:24,629 --> 02:02:24,639 governmental accounting is not cost 5753 02:02:24,639 --> 02:02:28,629 governmental accounting is not cost accounting. So um to to cost account for 5754 02:02:28,629 --> 02:02:28,639 accounting. So um to to cost account for 5755 02:02:28,639 --> 02:02:32,550 accounting. So um to to cost account for an account an activity um is uh 5756 02:02:32,550 --> 02:02:32,560 an account an activity um is uh 5757 02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:34,550 an account an activity um is uh difficult in an accounting structure 5758 02:02:34,550 --> 02:02:34,560 difficult in an accounting structure 5759 02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:36,310 difficult in an accounting structure that's built for government accounting 5760 02:02:36,310 --> 02:02:36,320 that's built for government accounting 5761 02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:40,870 that's built for government accounting with uh the required fields and required 5762 02:02:40,870 --> 02:02:40,880 with uh the required fields and required 5763 02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:42,790 with uh the required fields and required uh 5764 02:02:42,790 --> 02:02:42,800 uh 5765 02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:46,070 uh parts of the account code uh that are 5766 02:02:46,070 --> 02:02:46,080 parts of the account code uh that are 5767 02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:50,470 parts of the account code uh that are determined by state law. So um these are 5768 02:02:50,470 --> 02:02:50,480 determined by state law. So um these are 5769 02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:52,470 determined by state law. So um these are items that we have built in the budget 5770 02:02:52,470 --> 02:02:52,480 items that we have built in the budget 5771 02:02:52,480 --> 02:02:55,430 items that we have built in the budget and we can identify. Uh what these do 5772 02:02:55,430 --> 02:02:55,440 and we can identify. Uh what these do 5773 02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:58,709 and we can identify. Uh what these do not include are the staff time for doing 5774 02:02:58,709 --> 02:02:58,719 not include are the staff time for doing 5775 02:02:58,719 --> 02:03:02,149 not include are the staff time for doing the work uh other than some identified 5776 02:03:02,149 --> 02:03:02,159 the work uh other than some identified 5777 02:03:02,159 --> 02:03:06,709 the work uh other than some identified positions. So uh for example the 5778 02:03:06,709 --> 02:03:06,719 positions. So uh for example the 5779 02:03:06,719 --> 02:03:09,910 positions. So uh for example the coordinator cost is identified as a 5780 02:03:09,910 --> 02:03:09,920 coordinator cost is identified as a 5781 02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:12,629 coordinator cost is identified as a strategic investment but the school 5782 02:03:12,629 --> 02:03:12,639 strategic investment but the school 5783 02:03:12,639 --> 02:03:16,149 strategic investment but the school staff time is not for professional 5784 02:03:16,149 --> 02:03:16,159 staff time is not for professional 5785 02:03:16,159 --> 02:03:18,629 staff time is not for professional development or implementation of 5786 02:03:18,629 --> 02:03:18,639 development or implementation of 5787 02:03:18,639 --> 02:03:22,310 development or implementation of restorative practices. So 5788 02:03:22,310 --> 02:03:22,320 restorative practices. So 5789 02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:26,229 restorative practices. So board members, this is in response to um 5790 02:03:26,229 --> 02:03:26,239 board members, this is in response to um 5791 02:03:26,239 --> 02:03:29,270 board members, this is in response to um during last year's budget process. Uh 5792 02:03:29,270 --> 02:03:29,280 during last year's budget process. Uh 5793 02:03:29,280 --> 02:03:31,189 during last year's budget process. Uh the question was really brought up on, 5794 02:03:31,189 --> 02:03:31,199 the question was really brought up on, 5795 02:03:31,199 --> 02:03:33,990 the question was really brought up on, you know, how do we see where the 5796 02:03:33,990 --> 02:03:34,000 you know, how do we see where the 5797 02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,629 you know, how do we see where the dollars we're investing are impacting 5798 02:03:36,629 --> 02:03:36,639 dollars we're investing are impacting 5799 02:03:36,639 --> 02:03:39,589 dollars we're investing are impacting our strategic plan. And so this is our 5800 02:03:39,589 --> 02:03:39,599 our strategic plan. And so this is our 5801 02:03:39,599 --> 02:03:43,350 our strategic plan. And so this is our first attempt in order to begin to at 5802 02:03:43,350 --> 02:03:43,360 first attempt in order to begin to at 5803 02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:46,470 first attempt in order to begin to at least start to quantify those things 5804 02:03:46,470 --> 02:03:46,480 least start to quantify those things 5805 02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:49,510 least start to quantify those things that are easy to quantify. So you can 5806 02:03:49,510 --> 02:03:49,520 that are easy to quantify. So you can 5807 02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:52,229 that are easy to quantify.

It was 6120 02:10:38,629 --> 02:10:38,639 students we lost over projection. It was 6121 02:10:38,639 --> 02:10:41,430 students we lost over projection. It was just a financial transaction. We didn't 6122 02:10:41,430 --> 02:10:41,440 just a financial transaction. We didn't 6123 02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:44,390 just a financial transaction. We didn't have to cover those expenses of people 6124 02:10:44,390 --> 02:10:44,400 have to cover those expenses of people 6125 02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:47,189 have to cover those expenses of people that we had hired with one-time dollars 6126 02:10:47,189 --> 02:10:47,199 that we had hired with one-time dollars 6127 02:10:47,199 --> 02:10:49,990 that we had hired with one-time dollars which is what we've done in the past. Uh 6128 02:10:49,990 --> 02:10:50,000 which is what we've done in the past. Uh 6129 02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:53,510 which is what we've done in the past. Uh so it's to the tune of um almost $2 6130 02:10:53,510 --> 02:10:53,520 so it's to the tune of um almost $2 6131 02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:56,870 so it's to the tune of um almost $2 million, we were able to uh really 6132 02:10:56,870 --> 02:10:56,880 million, we were able to uh really 6133 02:10:56,880 --> 02:10:59,589 million, we were able to uh really tighten up some of our staffing because 6134 02:10:59,589 --> 02:10:59,599 tighten up some of our staffing because 6135 02:10:59,599 --> 02:11:01,990 tighten up some of our staffing because because typically what had happened is 6136 02:11:01,990 --> 02:11:02,000 because typically what had happened is 6137 02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:03,830 because typically what had happened is schools begin to ask, hey, listen, we 6138 02:11:03,830 --> 02:11:03,840 schools begin to ask, hey, listen, we 6139 02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:05,189 schools begin to ask, hey, listen, we think these kids are going to show. Just 6140 02:11:05,189 --> 02:11:05,199 think these kids are going to show. Just 6141 02:11:05,199 --> 02:11:06,470 think these kids are going to show. Just give us the money so we can hire 6142 02:11:06,470 --> 02:11:06,480 give us the money so we can hire 6143 02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:08,470 give us the money so we can hire somebody, but they'll show then they 6144 02:11:08,470 --> 02:11:08,480 somebody, but they'll show then they 6145 02:11:08,480 --> 02:11:10,790 somebody, but they'll show then they don't show. [laughter] So then we have 6146 02:11:10,790 --> 02:11:10,800 don't show. [laughter] So then we have 6147 02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:13,430 don't show. [laughter] So then we have to shift those one those ongoing 6148 02:11:13,430 --> 02:11:13,440 to shift those one those ongoing 6149 02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:15,910 to shift those one those ongoing expenditures to one-time expenditures. 6150 02:11:15,910 --> 02:11:15,920 expenditures to one-time expenditures. 6151 02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:18,550 expenditures to one-time expenditures. And then you endate those positions at 6152 02:11:18,550 --> 02:11:18,560 And then you endate those positions at 6153 02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:20,709 And then you endate those positions at the end of the year, which looks and 6154 02:11:20,709 --> 02:11:20,719 the end of the year, which looks and 6155 02:11:20,719 --> 02:11:23,109 the end of the year, which looks and feels like cuts of people even though 6156 02:11:23,109 --> 02:11:23,119 feels like cuts of people even though 6157 02:11:23,119 --> 02:11:25,510 feels like cuts of people even though we're um actually hanging on to folks we 6158 02:11:25,510 --> 02:11:25,520 we're um actually hanging on to folks we 6159 02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:26,709 we're um actually hanging on to folks we probably didn't need in the first place. 6160 02:11:26,709 --> 02:11:26,719 probably didn't need in the first place. 6161 02:11:26,719 --> 02:11:28,709 probably didn't need in the first place.

I think 6256 02:13:16,629 --> 02:13:16,639 one little tiny thing in there. I think 6257 02:13:16,639 --> 02:13:18,470 one little tiny thing in there. I think the smallest item in the whole strategic 6258 02:13:18,470 --> 02:13:18,480 the smallest item in the whole strategic 6259 02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:21,109 the smallest item in the whole strategic plan investment is the UVA program that 6260 02:13:21,109 --> 02:13:21,119 plan investment is the UVA program that 6261 02:13:21,119 --> 02:13:22,629 plan investment is the UVA program that we now are mostly sort of brought in 6262 02:13:22,629 --> 02:13:22,639 we now are mostly sort of brought in 6263 02:13:22,639 --> 02:13:24,069 we now are mostly sort of brought in house and aren't really using UVA 6264 02:13:24,069 --> 02:13:24,079 house and aren't really using UVA 6265 02:13:24,079 --> 02:13:27,510 house and aren't really using UVA anymore. That was only 0.1. So if if 6266 02:13:27,510 --> 02:13:27,520 anymore. That was only 0.1. So if if 6267 02:13:27,520 --> 02:13:29,669 anymore. That was only 0.1. So if if it's really a great program, which I 6268 02:13:29,669 --> 02:13:29,679 it's really a great program, which I 6269 02:13:29,679 --> 02:13:31,109 it's really a great program, which I believe it actually is and is quite 6270 02:13:31,109 --> 02:13:31,119 believe it actually is and is quite 6271 02:13:31,119 --> 02:13:32,550 believe it actually is and is quite transformative for the folks who are in 6272 02:13:32,550 --> 02:13:32,560 transformative for the folks who are in 6273 02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:34,870 transformative for the folks who are in it, maybe we shouldn't always out we 6274 02:13:34,870 --> 02:13:34,880 it, maybe we shouldn't always out we 6275 02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:36,629 it, maybe we shouldn't always out we shouldn't try to bring it in-house and 6276 02:13:36,629 --> 02:13:36,639 shouldn't try to bring it in-house and 6277 02:13:36,639 --> 02:13:38,709 shouldn't try to bring it in-house and that an ongoing partnership with UVA is 6278 02:13:38,709 --> 02:13:38,719 that an ongoing partnership with UVA is 6279 02:13:38,719 --> 02:13:41,270 that an ongoing partnership with UVA is not outside our means. And I'd be 6280 02:13:41,270 --> 02:13:41,280 not outside our means. And I'd be 6281 02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:44,069 not outside our means. And I'd be curious to uh know maybe what Robin or 6282 02:13:44,069 --> 02:13:44,079 curious to uh know maybe what Robin or 6283 02:13:44,079 --> 02:13:46,709 curious to uh know maybe what Robin or others would think about uh continuing 6284 02:13:46,709 --> 02:13:46,719 others would think about uh continuing 6285 02:13:46,719 --> 02:13:48,550 others would think about uh continuing to rely more on the partnership rather 6286 02:13:48,550 --> 02:13:48,560 to rely more on the partnership rather 6287 02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:50,149 to rely more on the partnership rather than the decision to bring more of it in 6288 02:13:50,149 --> 02:13:50,159 than the decision to bring more of it in 6289 02:13:50,159 --> 02:13:53,430 than the decision to bring more of it in house as one question. 6290 02:13:53,430 --> 02:13:53,440 house as one question. 6291 02:13:53,440 --> 02:13:55,589 house as one question. So, so that does not capture all the 6292 02:13:55,589 --> 02:13:55,599 So, so that does not capture all the 6293 02:13:55,599 --> 02:13:57,990 So, so that does not capture all the money we've already spent. 6294 02:13:57,990 --> 02:13:58,000 money we've already spent. 6295 02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,069 money we've already spent. So, uh, for seven years we've been 6296 02:14:00,069 --> 02:14:00,079 So, uh, for seven years we've been 6297 02:14:00,079 --> 02:14:02,790 So, uh, for seven years we've been sending cohorts. And I do think that, 6298 02:14:02,790 --> 02:14:02,800 sending cohorts. And I do think that, 6299 02:14:02,800 --> 02:14:05,669 sending cohorts. And I do think that, um, that every time we feel like it 6300 02:14:05,669 --> 02:14:05,679 um, that every time we feel like it 6301 02:14:05,679 --> 02:14:08,550 um, that every time we feel like it makes sense to send folks to UVA, we do. 6302 02:14:08,550 --> 02:14:08,560 makes sense to send folks to UVA, we do. 6303 02:14:08,560 --> 02:14:10,390 makes sense to send folks to UVA, we do. And so, we're not we're not trying to 6304 02:14:10,390 --> 02:14:10,400 And so, we're not we're not trying to 6305 02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:12,629 And so, we're not we're not trying to save money by doing some, but scaling 6306 02:14:12,629 --> 02:14:12,639 save money by doing some, but scaling 6307 02:14:12,639 --> 02:14:14,550 save money by doing some, but scaling some of the practices in house, I think, 6308 02:14:14,550 --> 02:14:14,560 some of the practices in house, I think, 6309 02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:17,669 some of the practices in house, I think, has been an effective practice.
