Apr 10, 2023 Board of Directors

[00:00:03]

ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING.

[1. Call to Order]

WE'LL BEGIN WITH OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

READY. BEGIN.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

NEXT, WE'LL HAVE ROLL CALL.

MADAM PRESIDENT, WE HAVE A QUORUM.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NEXT, WE MOVE ON TO OUR AGENDA APPROVAL AND TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

[4. Agenda Approval (Board Vote w/Student Voice)]

WE'LL HEAR FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF UPDATES.

CITIZENS COMMENTS.

WE HAVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA WITH ITEMS A THROUGH A-I.

WE HAVE ONE ITEM OF OLD BUSINESS TO ITEMS OF NEW BUSINESS AND THEN WE FINISH UP WITH OUR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND BOARD EVENTS. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REMOVED OR UPDATED OR HAVE QUESTIONS ON BEFORE WE APPROVE TONIGHT'S AGENDA? I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT,

[9. Old Business (Board Vote w/Student Voice)]

I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT THAT DECISION.

SHELLY AND I WERE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THE ATTORNEY AND WE GOT SOME CLARIFICATION, AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE PROPOSED THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE WITH THE PROCEDURE, BUT IT'S DIFFICULT, OBVIOUSLY, FOR US.

IT'S A COMPLICATED MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRIVACY RIGHTS OF MINORS, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT LAWYERS.

SO IT WOULD IT WOULD BE PROBABLY BETTER FOR OUR LAWYER TO EXPLAIN TO BOARD MEMBERS AND ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS THAN IT WOULD BE FOR US, AND WE COULD CERTAINLY ARRANGE A MEETING, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT'S TO REMOVE PROVISION OF POLICY 3122 FROM OLD BUSINESS.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? TO TABLE IT AGAIN? YES.

I PROBABLY USED NOT THE PERFECT LANGUAGE FOR THAT.

WE'RE ALL LEARNING. YES.

THANK YOU.

IF THAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD, WE COULD CERTAINLY ARRANGE THAT.

ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD REGARDING THAT OR OTHER ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED? I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE WE TABLED THIS ONCE.

MAKING SURE WE FOLLOW.

ORDERS OF BUSINESS.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING PREVENTING THAT.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING EITHER TO BE FAIR.

STUDENTS, DID YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE PROPOSAL OR THE AGENDA ITEMS TONIGHT? I APPROVE OF IT.

OKAY.

WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THERE'S NOT A CLEAR DIRECT LINE.

I MEAN, I KNOW WE HAD SOME CITIZENS VOICED SOME CONCERNS OVER, YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE, OVER THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS BEING USED IN THAT RIGHT, AND THEN WE HAD SOME BOARD MEMBERS EXPRESS AND ASKED SHELLY AND I WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO FIND THE

[00:05:07]

IT'S A COMBINATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY, BOTH THE STATE CONSTITUTION AND THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, HIPAA PRIVACY RULES, FEDERAL EDUCATION, PRIVACY LAWS, FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDED HEALTH PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, STATE MINOR CONSENT LAWS, STATE MEDICAL CONFIDENTIALITY AND MEDICAL RECORD LAWS.

EVIDENTIARY PRIVILEGES.

PROFESSIONAL LICENSING LAWS AND PAST RULINGS BY THE WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME COURT.

ALL OF THOSE ARE A COMBINATION.

IT'S VERY COMPLICATED.

YOU CAN'T DRAW A SIMPLE DIRECT LINE, AND WHAT I WOULD ADD TO WHAT DENNY SAID IS THAT OUR ATTORNEY SAID THAT ONCE A MEDICAL RECORD UNDER HIPAA BECOMES A SCHOOL RECORD, IT FALLS UNDER FERPA.

SO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FERPA RIGHTS THAT COME INTO PLAY AS WELL.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU AND SHELLY HAVE DONE, DENNY, ON THIS.

I JUST WHEN IT'S A SITUATION THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, THAT OBVIOUSLY IS IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENRY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIZENS KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING OUR LEVEL BEST AND OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO TRACK DOWN THE ANSWERS.

I'M NOT TRYING TO DELAY EVERYTHING HERE.

YEAH. NO, I APPRECIATE THAT, AND I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M CERTAINLY, AS I SAID, ULTIMATELY IT IS GOING TO BE THE BOARD'S DECISION.

SO THE BOARD SHOULD HAVE THE FIRSTHAND INFORMATION.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

I JUST THINK A CONVERSATION WITH OUR ATTORNEY MIGHT GIVE US MORE CLARITY AS WE, YOU KNOW, TRY TO SPEAK TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHY.

WOULD HELP ME. SURE.

I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO TABLING.

ACTUALLY, ARE WE TABLING MARK OR JUST LEAVING IT TABLED.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

WE COULD JUST REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA.

IF WE REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA DOES IT JUST REMAINED TABLED UNTIL WE BRING IT UP AND ACT ON IT? BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T. WE'VE NOT APPROVED THE AGENDA YET.

SO WE COULD JUST REMOVE IT, RIGHT? CORRECT, AND I BELIEVE IT WOULD REMAIN TABLED FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M READING IT.

IF WE READ CORRECTLY, IT HAS TO BE DEALT WITH BY THE [INAUDIBLE].

BY THE WHAT? QUARTER.

THREE MONTHS. SO YOU CAN'T GO MORE THAN I THOUGHT I HAD READ EARLIER WHEN I WAS SERVING AS PRESIDENT THAT IF YOU TABLED A MOTION ONCE, YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH IT BY THE NEXT MEETING, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A FORM OF DEALING WITH IT, BUT I WOULDN'T THINK SO.

YEAH, BUT ACCORDING TO WHAT WE JUST READ, THAT MOTION CAN REMAIN TABLED AS LONG AS QUARTERLY.

DID YOU READ THAT RIGHT? YEAH.

OKAY, WELL, IN THREE MONTHS, WE COULD PROBABLY GET A MEETING.

YEAH, I'M SURE WE CAN SCHEDULE AN ATTORNEY WITHIN THREE MONTHS.

MY CLIENTS MIGHT SAY IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A HOLD OF YOUR ATTORNEY, SO , AND OTHERWISE IT JUST DIES, AND THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD AGAIN AFTER THE QUARTER.

WHICH IS FINE AS WELL.

IT CAN DIE AND THEN WE CAN JUST BRING IT BACK UP.

IT'S A POLICY REVISION.

THE CURRENT POLICY IS STILL IN EFFECT.

RIGHT. THERE'S NO DEADLINE.

NO. THIS HAS SOME CHANGES.

THIS POLICY CHANGE THAT WE ARE MAKING IS NOT AROUND THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT IS AROUND ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PANDEMIC AND SYNCHRONOUS ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING, REMOTE LEARNING AND HOW YOU CHARGE EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.

THAT'S WHY THE POLICY IS BEING REVISED.

THE RATIONALE, THE REASON THIS WAS BROUGHT TO ATTENTION IS BECAUSE IN REVISING AND ADDING THAT INFORMATION, THEY HAVE ALSO DONE SOME CHANGES IN FORMATTING AND IT'S THOSE FORMATTING CHANGES THAT HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THAT ATTENTION, BUT BUT THE

[00:10:02]

SO EITHER WAY, IT CAN EITHER DIE AND BE BROUGHT BACK UP UNDER NEW BUSINESS.

ONCE THIS IS SETTLED WHERE WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE LAWYER OR WE CAN CONTINUE THE TABLING, AND I MEAN, MY PREFERENCE IS TO HAVE A MEETING SO THAT WE'RE SATISFIED THAT THIS IS WHAT THE LAW SAYS AND THIS IS WHY THE PROCEDURE READS THE WAY IT DOES, AND SO BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE CAN ASSURE THE CITIZENS LIKE, LOOK, WE'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND THIS IS WHAT IT IS, AND WE HAD A MEETING, AND I DO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, BECAUSE THE SAME LANGUAGE IS IN THE POLICY, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT JUST A PROCEDURE, RIGHT? THE PROCEDURE IS BASED OFF OF WHAT THE POLICY SAYS.

SO IT IS A POLICY ISSUE AS WELL THAT NEEDS CLARIFYING, NOT JUST--IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THROUGH THE FACT THAT SOMEONE NOTICED IT IN THE PROCEDURE, RIGHT, BUT HAVING, WE WENT OVER IT WITH A PRETTY FINE TOOTH COMB, AND IT IS IN THE POLICY THAT SAME THAT SAME LANGUAGE.

SO WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO DO? I THINK THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO REMOVE IT FROM THE CURRENT AGENDA.

SO YES, WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO VOTE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA BEFORE WE APPROVE THE AGENDA.

SO IT'S TWO SEPARATE VOTES? I WOULD THINK SO.

I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA AND THEN YOU WOULD APPROVE THE AGENDA AS AMENDED.

AMENDED. OKAY.

IS THAT YOUR BEST GUESS? THAT IS BECAUSE YOU'RE CHANGING THE AGENDA.

YOU WOULD NEED A SECOND FOR THE MOTION.

I SECOND THE MOTION TO REMOVE POLICY 3122 FROM THE AGENDA.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO REVISE THE AGENDA TO REMOVE THE OLD BUSINESS REVISION OF POLICY.

3122. WE HAVE A SECOND FOR THAT MOTION.

DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR INPUT FROM OUR STUDENTS, PRO CON OR OTHER? I'M STAYING BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE LAST MEETING TO KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS.

SO [INAUDIBLE] OKAY, HEARING NO FURTHER COMMENTS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0.

SO I WOULD NEED A MOTION TO PASS THE AGENDA AS AMENDED.

I RECOMMEND WE PASS THE AGENDA AS AMENDED.

HER SECOND MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ITEMS OF DISCUSSION.

THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED? STUDENTS, CONCERNS, ANYTHING ELSE ON THE AGENDA? ALL RIGHT, HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF PASSING TONIGHT'S AGENDA AS AMENDED, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU, BOARD. IT IS LIKELY THAT OUR ATTORNEY WILL BE AVAILABLE VIA.

YEAH, PROBABLY VIA PHONE OR VIA ZOOM.

IS THERE A PREFERENCE FOR THE BOARD? YEAH, ZOOM WOULD BE GOOD.

OKAY, AND WE WOULD SET UP AN EXECUTIVE.

IT WOULD BE AN EXECUTIVE MEETING, RIGHT? RIGHT. YEAH.

OKAY, BECAUSE OF CONFIDENTIALITY STUFF.

WE'LL LOOK FOR DATES AND TIMES THAT WORK FOR EVERYBODY, SETTING THAT UP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, DENNY.

YEP. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE STUDENT VOICE.

[5. Communications]

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

SAY YOUR NAMES AND TELL US.

[00:15:02]

TEACHER MR. HARP. I'M ERIC KARP.

[INAUDIBLE] THAT'S A GOOD TEACHER RIGHT THERE.

SO BASICALLY, THIS WAS OUR SOLAR CAR PROJECT.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN BUILDING AND REDESIGNING AND BASICALLY SEEING WHAT OTHER CLASSMATES COME UP WITH FOR THEIR DESIGNS.

YEAH, SO BASICALLY WE WERE GIVEN A BUNCH OF MATERIALS AND WE HAD TO MAKE A SOLAR CAR AND WE HAD TO RAISE THEM AT THE END JUST TO SEE HOW FAST WE COULD GET IT IN LIKE I THINK IT WAS LIKE A 20 FOOT AREA AND THEN WE BROUGHT ANOTHER CAR.

SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM RACE, WE CAN.

WE WOULD LOVE TO. YES, ASOLUTELY.

YES. [INAUDIBLE] SO THESE ARE ALREADY OBVIOUSLY CHARGED, RIGHT? YEAH. WE DON'T HAVE LIKE THE ACTUAL [INAUDIBLE]. DO YOU GUYS JUST CHARGE HIM WITH A UV LIGHT? NO, THEY HAVE BATTERIES IN THEM, BUT.

THAT'S VERY COOL. THAT IS COOL.

THE ACTUAL TRACK IS SET UP LIKE IT HAS THE STARTING.

IT HAS LIKE LIGHTS.

SO IT GETS SOLAR POWER TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BOOST AT THE START.

SO IT'S A BIT FASTER AND IT'S A SMOOTHER SURFACE IN GENERAL.

IT GOES A LOT FASTER THAN THAT, IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK ON THE AND BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW A BUNCH OF REQUIREMENTS LIKE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RESISTOR IN HERE, IT'S IN SERIES WITH THE MOTOR AND THEN THE BATTERIES AND THEN YOU CAN BUT IT'S PRETTY OPEN FOR HOWEVER YOU LIKE TO BUILD IT. IT JUST HAS TO BE CERTAIN GUIDELINES, LIKE IT HAS TO FIT IN A CERTAIN SIZED BOX.

YEAH, AND YOU'RE GIVEN SUPPLIES, AND HOW MANY MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM, JUST THE TWO OF YOU OR.

NO, THERE'S ONE MORE, BUT HE DIDN'T COME TODAY, SO.

YEAH. NICE.

HOW DID THE CARS DO? WELL, WE PLACED FIRST IN THE RACE, BUT THERE WERE OTHER LIKE AREAS TOO, BUT WE GOT SECOND OVERALL AND THEN THERE WAS LIKE ONE ABOUT THE POSTER AND THEN LIKE, YOUR PRESENTATION OVERALL.

YEAH, AND THEN THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF LIKE, TROPHIES THAT YOU COULD GET, BUT WE GOT FIRST PLACE IN THE RACING AND THEN WE GOT SECOND PLACE OVERALL AND THEN WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FOR OUR ACTUAL PRESENTATION, BUT OVERALL WE DID SECOND, SO NICE JOB.

CONGRATULATIONS, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

HOW MANY SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED? WELL, I KNOW CAM AND THEN I KNOW ANOTHER SCHOOL DID, BUT THERE WEREN'T AS MANY AS LIKE PREVIOUS YEARS BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, THE PAUSE AND COVID.

RIGHT? SO I FEEL LIKE IT'D BE A BIT MORE FUN IF THERE WERE MORE SCHOOLS AND MORE COMPETITION BECAUSE THERE WERE LIKE A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF RACING, I THINK THERE WAS LIKE 5 OR 6, AND AFTER LIKE THE FIRST 2 OR 3 ROUNDS, THE LIKE THE OTHER SCHOOL WAS COMPLETELY OUT LIKE, SO IT WAS JUST CAM ACADEMY VERSUS YOU WERE, YOU WERE CHALLENGING YOURSELVES.

YEAH, [INAUDIBLE] ACADEMY VERSUS CAM ACADEMY.

SO THAT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT AGE DIVISIONS? YES, THERE ARE.

I KNOW THERE'S A MIDDLE SCHOOL WHICH THERE ARE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, LIKE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE LIKE THE RESISTOR IN THERE.

SO THERE'S TENDS TO BE A BIT FASTER THAN HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN I KNOW OBVIOUSLY THERE'S HIGH SCHOOL AND I THINK THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO ELEMENTARY APPARENTLY. OKAY, SO REMIND ME WHAT GRADE YOU ARE.

WE'RE NINTH GRADE.

NINTH GRADE. OKAY, SO HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR NAME FOR YOUR GROUP? WELL, IT'S KIND OF JUST BEEN A THING THAT WAS BETWEEN US TWO.

OH, IT'S A PRIVATE JOKE.

OKAY. YEAH, IT WAS JUST SOMETHING WE MADE UP BECAUSE, YOU KNOW.

SOME OF OUR IDEAS ARE NOT THE BRIGHTEST.

[CHUCKLING] THAT'S WHAT WE SAY.

WELL, YOU WON FIRST PLACE? [INAUDIBLE] THESE ONES ARE PRETTY GOOD.

THAT'S THE BRIGHTEST. YEAH.

SO BASICALLY, THROUGHOUT HERE, WE HAD TO DOCUMENT, LIKE, CERTAIN THINGS.

SO HERE'S A TABLE OF CONTENTS.

WE'VE ONLY DONE, LIKE, TEN PAGES BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE REALLY NEED.

SO WE ALSO DID LIKE, TESTING THROUGHOUT.

SO HERE'S LIKE GEARING TEST.

LIKE WE TESTED DIFFERENT GEARING.

SO YEAH, SO BASICALLY WE TESTED A CERTAIN GEARING AND THEN WE JUST SWAPPED IT OUT AND THEN TESTED IT AGAIN AND JUST

[00:20:04]

WE STARTED OFF BY JUST DESIGNING ON LIKE PAPER.

SO WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO GO WITH LIKE A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, LIKE BELT DRIVE, AND IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT.

SO WE ENDED UP JUST GOING WITH A SIMPLE REAR WHEEL DRIVE AND THEN GEAR DRIVE ONE AND THEN WE HAVE LIKE THE CIRCUITRY IN HERE.

YEAH, WE HAD TO REDESIGN THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND A GUY THAT'S NOT HERE TODAY WAS IN OUR GROUP ACTUALLY HELPED A LOT WITH THAT WITH JUST LIKE THE PLACEMENT OF THE ACTUALLY THE FEW THINGS THAT WEREN'T SUPPLIED WERE LIKE THE SWITCH SOME PEOPLE MADE HOMEMADE ONES, SOME PEOPLE LIKE BOUNCE THEM FROM THINGS AND THEN LITTLE WE HAVE BUMPERS ON OURS JUST SO IF IT HITS THE EDGE IT WON'T GET CAUGHT.

SO THAT WASN'T SUPPLIED.

SO THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT WEREN'T SUPPLIED, BUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED REALLY IS SUPPLIED.

THERE WAS A COST LIMIT FOR THE PARTS THAT YOU COULD ADD TO THE CAR TOO, WHICH WAS A FACTOR FOR PROBABLY SOME GROUPS, BUT NOT US.

YEAH, IT WAS $10.

SO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF LIKE YOUR SUPPLIED STUFF, IT HAS TO BE UNDER $10 IN COST SO IT MAKES IT MORE FAIR , AND YOU HAD TO USE THE SUPPLIED MOTOR AND THEN SUPPLIED BATTERIES AND SUPPLIED SOLAR PANEL JUST SO EVERYTHING LIKE ELECTRICALLY IS THE SAME, PRETTY MUCH.

OTHER THAN LIKE YOUR CIRCUIT, WHICH YOU COULD DESIGN HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE.

WHAT WAS THE OVERALL DURATION OF THE BUILD? IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS LIKE A MONTH-ISH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE ON THAT, BUT, I KNOW WE JUST, YOU KNOW, IT TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS JUST TO DESIGN IT, AND WE WERE MAKING OUR, LIKE PUTTING IT INTO HERE AND THEN DOING OTHER LITTLE TINY THINGS ALONG THE WAY, TOO.

LIKE, I KNOW WE DID SOME THINGS ON CIRCUIT STUFF AND LIKE, THE ELECTRICITY AND STUFF, LIKE LITTLE TINY SIGNS FOR THAT.

THAT'S COOL. HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SCRUB THE IDEA AND START OVER? I THINK THIS IS OUR FOURTH DESIGN, ACTUALLY.

I KNOW WE HAVE LIKE...

THERE YOU GO. WE HAVE LIKE THREE OF THEM ON HERE.

SO THERE'S FIRST DESIGN, SECOND DESIGN.

HERE'S THE THIRD DESIGN, AND THEN THIS IS THE OVERALL FOURTH DESIGN.

SO AND HERE'S JUST OUR FINAL CIRCUITRY DESIGN.

THAT'S VERY COOL. IT'S A GREAT THING ABOUT THE ENGINEERING BEHIND THAT IS THAT I MEAN, THAT'S THE PROCESS, RIGHT? TRIAL AND ERROR. YOU KNOW, YOU COME UP WITH AN IDEA, YOU BUILD SOMETHING, IT FAILS.

YOU JUST LEARN HOW NOT TO BUILD IT, RIGHT? SO THEN YOU BUILD IT AGAIN AND YOU KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL YOU GET SOMETHING THAT FULLY FUNCTIONS.

THAT'S THE ENGINEERING PROCESS.

SO MY HATS OFF TO YOU.

THAT'S A GREAT JOB. NOW, YOU GUYS DID THIS ALL THIS IS LIKE AFTER SCHOOL, RIGHT? EXTRACURRICULAR OR WAS IT PART OF A CLASS? NO, IT WAS PART OF THE CLASS.

PART OF THE CLASS. OKAY, OH, YEAH.

[INAUDIBLE] CAME AFTER AND WORKED.

RIGHT, BUT IT WAS PART OF [INAUDIBLE].

SO A LOT OF EFFORT FOR YOU GUYS.

YEAH. YEAH. WELL, YEAH, CONGRATULATIONS.

THAT'S OUTSTANDING, AND, AND THANK YOU, MR. HARP, TOO. ALWAYS GREAT.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS HAD SOME FUN DOING THIS.

YEAH. YEAH. FANTASTIC.

THANKS FOR REPRESENTING BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

OUTSTANDING. GOOD JOB. WE'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE CLARK PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR SUPPLYING THE BASIC MATERIALS FOR THE KIDS TO GET STARTED WITH AS WELL.

SO THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL, AND THIS ALSO TIES INTO THE STANDARDS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH ENGINEERING DESIGN, THE ELECTRICITY, ENERGY CHANGE.

SO IT MAKES A LOT MORE FUN.

SO VERY COOL, AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND SHARING IT WITH US.

OUTSTANDING.

DO WE HAVE OTHER ASB REPRESENTATIVES WHO MIGHT WANT TO COME UP AND SHARE? I JUST DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYBODY.

COME ON UP.

WELCOME. WELCOME.

HI. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MOVE THIS OR NOT.

THERE WE GO. OKAY, MY NAME IS SAMANTHA.

I AM A SENIOR AT PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL.

I AM THE ASB SECRETARY, SO I'M ONE OF THE EXECUTIVES THAT GETS TO BE IN CHARGE OF A FEW EVENTS HERE AND THERE, AND I GOT TOLD TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND THE EVENTS, AND OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THAT LAST WEEK WAS SPRING BREAK, SO THERE WASN'T REALLY ANY EVENTS.

[00:25:07]

SO WHAT WE DID, IT WAS COLOR WARS SPIRIT WEEK.

SO WE HAD AN ASSEMBLY AND WE HAD A SPIRIT WEEK.

THOSE WERE OUR TWO MAIN EVENTS, AND THROUGHOUT THAT WE ALSO HAD LUNCH GAMES WHERE WE GOT TO BOOST STUDENT MORALE, AND THIS SCHOOL YEAR, OUR GOAL WAS TO REALLY LIKE TRY TO GET BACK IN THE NORM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND SO THROUGHOUT THESE EVENTS, WE REALLY TRIED TO GET AS MUCH STUDENT INVOLVEMENT AS POSSIBLE SO WE COULD REALLY GET STUDENTS TO REALIZE WHAT COLOR WARS USED TO BE LIKE.

SO THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK, WE HAD A LOT OF INPUT REGARDING SPIRIT WEEK FOR LIKE ANYTHING BUT A BACKPACK DAY.

I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD THAT A MILLION TIMES OVER ABOUT HOW POPULAR THAT IS AND HOW MUCH IT'S BEEN TRENDING THROUGHOUT STUDENTS, AND SO WE'VE HAD THAT AND WE'VE HAD A FEW OTHER SPIRIT WEEK DAYS THAT WE REALLY GOT TO INCORPORATE, WHICH MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY EXCITED TO GO TO SCHOOL, WHICH WE ALWAYS LOVE.

I'M SURE YOU GUYS LOVE TO HAVE MORE ATTENDANCE.

I'M SURE THAT PROBABLY DOESN'T HURT, BUT AT THE END OF THE WEEK, ON FRIDAY, WE GOT TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS A MAJOR HIT.

NOT ONLY WAS IT POPULAR AMONGST THE STUDENTS, WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY OUR GOAL, BUT IT WAS ALSO POPULAR AMONGST THE STAFF.

OUR ADVISOR, MISS ROSS, SHE WENT TO THE TEACHER MEETING AND LIKE THE STAFF MEETING AND SHE WAS ABLE TO REALLY GET THE TEACHERS INVOLVED, WHICH SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE LOST THEIR ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THE UPCOMING EVENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR A LOT OF LIKE CHAPERONING, AND SOME STAFF MEMBERS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DISCOURAGED.

SEEING LIKE NOT SO MANY STUDENTS BE SO EXCITED FOR STUFF, BUT WITH OUR AMAZING ADVISOR, SHE WAS REALLY ABLE TO GET A LOT OF STAFF INVOLVED AND MAYBE LATER ON I CAN SEND OVER A FEW EMAILS TO YOU GUYS OF VIDEOS OF THE ASSEMBLY.

BUT WE HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY STAFF MEMBERS STARTING FROM LIKE DANCING ALL THE WAY FROM LIKE SHOOTING LAYUPS WITH A BASKETBALL, WHICH WAS SUPER FUN FOR A LOT OF STUDENTS TO SEE, AND OVERALL, IT'S JUST A REALLY WONDERFUL TIME AND A LOT OF STUDENTS LEFT AND GOT THERE.

THEY WERE REALLY HAPPY AND IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THEIR SPRING BREAK.

SO UNLESS THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANY OF YOU GUYS MAY HAVE, THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE TO BRING TODAY.

YOU'RE INCREDIBLY WELL-SPOKEN.

YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU.

I'M SHAKING A LITTLE BIT.

[CHUCKLING] YOU DID GREAT, AND NO NOTES.

NO NOTES. NO NOTES.

SAM, WHAT DOES ASB HAVE COMING UP? OH, GREAT QUESTION, TONY.

THERE'S A PLANT.

UPCOMING, WE HAVE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LIKE TALKS THAT WE HAVE.

WE'VE BEEN PREPARING VIDEOS AND SPEECHES AND DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT WE CAN, LIKE, REALLY GAIN, LIKE, STUDENTS TO HOPEFULLY JOIN OUR CLASS NEXT COMING SCHOOL YEAR, THE UPCOMING FRESHMEN.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.

WE HAVE LITTLE COMMITTEES FOR EACH THING, AND THEN AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, NOT THE DEAD END, APRIL 29TH, IT'S A SATURDAY.

WE HAVE PROM.

OBVIOUSLY, SINCE I'M A SENIOR, SENIORS DO NOT GET TO PLAN THE EVENT.

SO I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY DETAILS.

I DO KNOW THE THEME, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M TECHNICALLY ALLOWED TO SHARE THAT WHEN THERE IS A SENIOR AT PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL HERE TODAY, I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT GET A LITTLE BIT IN TROUBLE WITH THE JUNIORS.

I KNOW THE THEME. WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE THEME, [CHUCKLING] BUT GOOD THINKING.

YES, AND THEN NOT ONLY IS THERE THOSE EVENTS, BUT THERE'S ALSO THIS OTHER EVENT.

IT'S HELD BY OUR FCCLA CLUB AT PRAIRIE.

IT IS NOT ASB LED, BUT IT IS THROUGH THERE AND ASB HAS INVOLVEMENT IN THAT, AND IT'S A TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING STUDENTS WELL, NOT STUDENTS, BUT STAFF MEMBERS, CHILDREN, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE A LITTLE TOUR WHERE THEY GET TO DO LITTLE EVENTS DURING CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME.

IT'LL START AT LIKE 7:30 IN THE MORNING ALL THE WAY TO WHEN STAFF MEMBERS LEAVE THE SCHOOL.

SO IT'S A GREAT CHANCE TO REALLY, LIKE SHOW AROUND SOME OF THE CTE CLASSES, AND SO HOPEFULLY WHEN THEY'RE FUTURE FALCONS, THEY GET THE CHANCE TO REALLY SEE WHAT PRAIRIE IS LIKE AND THAT IS ALL THAT I AM CURRENTLY AWARE.

OH, AND THERE'S ALSO ONE MORE.

THERE'S ALSO SENIOR SUNSET THAT'S TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

I'M NOT SURE HOW AWARE OR WELL KNOWN THAT YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S AN EVENT WHERE A LOT OF SENIORS GET TO GATHER AND THERE'S JUST GET TO WATCH THE SUNSET AND IT'S JUST A REALLY FUN EVENT AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO INCORPORATE SOME ACTIVITIES SO IT MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE FUN AND THAT MUCH MORE MEMORABLE.

VERY COOL, AND I THINK THAT'S IT.

QUESTIONS FOR SAMANTHA? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[00:30:01]

OKAY, WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR STUDENT REPS.

JUST REAL QUICK, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PERSONALLY INVITE ALL OF YOU TO COME TO OUR NIGHT WITH WIND ENSEMBLE THAT IS ON THE 25TH OF APRIL.

UM, THAT'S REALLY IT.

SAM COVERED A LOT OF IT.

SO YEAH, LIKE SAMANTHA SAID, LAST WEEK WAS SPRING BREAK, WHICH WE ALL WERE DEFINITELY WAITING FOR, SO THERE'S NOT MUCH TO REPORT ON, BUT WE HAD OUR PROM AT BATTLE GROUND ON APRIL 1ST, THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING BREAK, AND THAT WAS SUPER FUN.

IT WENT REALLY WELL.

EVERYTHING'S JUST BEEN GOING VERY SMOOTHLY.

WE'RE HOPING TO KEEP THAT UP AND YEAH, THAT'S BECAUSE WE GOT YOU TO STOP TALKING ABOUT SNOW.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

YOU'RE WELCOME. YEAH.

THANK YOU. IS THAT ALL? YEAH. OKAY, I THINK THAT WRAPS UP OUR STUDENT VOICE MOVES ON TO COMMITTEE REPORTS.

FIRST UP, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.

SO WHAT I HAVE TO REPORT ON TONIGHT IS JUST I'M SURE YOU ALL GOT YOUR COPY OF DIRECT, AND IN THERE THERE'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW SCHOOL BOARDS DIRECT WASDA'S ADVOCACY. IT'S JUST TWO PAGES.

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THAT BECAUSE THAT KIND OF EXPLAINS ABOUT THE 217 POSITIONS THAT WASDA HAS AND OUR OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE THOSE THIS YEAR.

IF THERE ARE ANY POSITIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE OR AMEND, IT HAS TO BE AS A BOARD.

THEY WON'T BE ACCEPTING INDIVIDUAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGED POSITIONS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE ARE RESOLUTIONS AND THE RESOLUTION COMMITTEE WILL BE LOOKING AT, PARTICULARLY THIS YEAR, A RESOLUTION THAT WILL COME TO THEM FROM SEVERAL BOARDS THAT WILL DEAL WITH THE WEIGHTED VOTE AT GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

I THINK I'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE, HOW THE BIGGER SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE MORE VOTES THAN THE SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND OUT OF 295 SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ONLY AROUND 100 PARTICIPATE IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY.

SO THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE RESOLUTION COMMITTEE AND WILL PROBABLY COME TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY THIS YEAR.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY THIS YEAR IS SEPTEMBER 22ND AND 23RD, AND IT'S HYBRID, AND SO IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING ME OUT WITH THAT, IT'S A TWO DAY EVENT. LET ME KNOW.

ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY UPDATES FROM YOU, MARK, ON THAT? SURE. I GUESS SINCE IT FALLS UNDER A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CARBON CREDITS INITIATIVE FOR THE TRUST LANDS COMMITTEE IS BURIED IN COMMITTEE.

NOT LIKELY TO COME BACK.

MIGHT COME BACK NEXT YEAR, BUT THAT THE SMALL SCHOOLS SHUFFLE OF TIMBER FUNDS IS STILL ON THE ROAD TO PASSING.

DID YOU TESTIFY AGAIN? I DID. I WAS SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NUMBER 31 OUT OF 33 PEOPLE AAND THEY CHANGED THE ORDER AND PUT US FIRST, AND WE MISSED IT.

OH, NO, I'M SORRY.

SORRY I ASKED. DON'T KNOW IF THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE OR NOT.

WE WERE TESTIFYING AS OTHER, SO.

ANY OTHER UPDATES TO SHARE? OKAY, AUDIT COMMITTEE.

YEP, HAD OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY SO WE'D GET IT IN BEFORE TONIGHT'S MEETING.

TOOK A LOOK AT THE BOARD BUDGET.

THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME, ANYWAY, WAS THE LAST TIME WE HAD OUR WORK SESSION, WE HAD A MEAL FOR 14 FOR $129, AND SO I COMMENTED, I THINK JUST MY WIFE AND I SPENT $129 ON DINNER LAST TIME.

[CHUCKLING] SO DINNER FOR 14 FOR $139 IS NOT TOO BAD OF A DEAL.

THANKS TO MR. WATERS, HE ABSORBED THE STRATEGY'S 360 EXPENSE, AND I THINK THAT HAD SOME TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE BOARD BUDGET IS ACTUALLY UNDER A LITTLE BIT OF A STRAIN FROM THE LEGAL FEES THAT WERE INCREASING THIS YEAR, AND JUST TO LET MARY KNOW, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT SEEING IF WE CAN FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO SUPPORT THAT BEFORE THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

WE DID TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE REGULAR BUDGET AT SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES GOING ON, INCLUDING THE PROM EXPENSES.

SO LEAVE IT AT THAT.

SO THEY LOOKED ALL LEGIT.

I'M EXCITED FOR YOU.

[00:35:02]

I WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT STUDENTS GOING UP THERE.

WE HAVE THREE STUDENTS GOING UP, TWO FROM RIVER HOMELINK AND ONE FROM BATTLE GROUND THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PROGRAMS THAT ONLY LOWER COLUMBIA COLLEGE OFFERS AND NOT NECESSARILY DOWN HERE AT CLARK. SO IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT KIDS HAVE THAT OPTION AND THEY'RE WILLING TO TRAVEL TO FIND THOSE.

THE CURRENT STATE AUDIT IS ON HOLD BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE STATE THING LOOKING AT THE ESSER FUNDS ACROSS ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ALL THE STATES, AND SO THERE'S ONE ITEM LEFT FOR US THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT AND THEY WON'T FINALIZE THAT UNTIL THAT GETS FINISHED, BUT MICHELLE TOLD ME WHAT MAY SOMETHING MAY 30TH 1ST OR MAY 1ST, ONE OF THOSE TWO, THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING'S DUE.

EVERYTHING'S DUE. YEAH, DUE TO THE SO WE'LL BE COMPLETE BY THEN.

YEAH. HOPEFULLY MUCH SOONER.

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.

OKAY, SO I LOOKED AT THE BOARD BUDGET, SUPERINTENDENT BUDGET AND THE GENERAL EXPENDITURES , AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE FINE DETAILS.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THEM, OR MICHELLE CAN HELP ME.

ANY QUESTIONS? BATTLE GROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

THANK YOU. SO I WAS VERY RECENTLY PUT IN CONTACT BATTLE GROUND EDUCATION FUND AND THEY WEREN'T QUITE SURE.

THE PRESIDENT WASN'T QUITE SURE WHETHER THE BOARD WAS MADE AWARE OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS.

SO I'M GOING TO BRIEF YOU AS IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE AND SO ACT SURPRISED.

THEY DID MAKE ANOTHER DONATION TO PURCHASE THE NARCAN BOXES FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS SOME SUPPLY DOSES FOR ALL SECURITY GUARDS TO CARRY.

ADDITIONALLY, THE 21ST OF MAY IS GOING TO BE MOD PIZZA DAY FOR THE FOUNDATION, AND THEY'RE STILL SEEKING THEY'RE STILL IN SEARCH OF SPONSORS FOR THE OCTOBER AUCTION, WHICH IS GOING TO BE OCTOBER 7TH, 2023.

SO THEY'RE STILL LOOKING FOR SPONSORS FOR THAT.

AND THAT'S THE REPORT FROM THE BATTLE GROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M TAKING IT ON THE FLY AT 6:30 THIS MORNING.

THAT'S HOW RECENTLY HE GOT IT.

THAT'S WHEN YOU SENT IT. I GOT IT MUCH LATER THAN THAT.

[LAUGHTER] THAT IS MY WORLD.

WIAAP COMMITTEE. WE HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK.

FANTASTIC. SO NO UPDATES.

WSSDA UPDATES.

ANY? JUST BE SURE AND LOOK AT THE POSITIONS.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE INPUT.

THE DEADLINE IS IT'S APRIL 17TH THROUGH MAY 12TH.

IF WE WANT TO HAVE ANY INPUT TO CHANGING ANY OF THE POSITIONS.

THAT ISN'T ABOUT PRIORITIZING THE POSITIONS THAT HAPPENS TO BE WHERE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

THIS IS ABOUT THE POSITIONS BEFORE THEY GO TO THE LEDGE COMMITTEE.

THE WSSDA THE LEDGE COMMITTEE.

SO. WHAT SAY DID YOU SAY APRIL WHAT? APRIL 17TH THROUGH MAY 12TH.

THAT'S THE PROPOSAL WINDOW.

SO WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW BY OUR NEXT MEETING IF WE WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE POSITIONS.

IF THERE'S A PARTICULAR ONE WE WANT TO HAVE INPUT ON, THINK NEEDS TO BE AMENDED, RETIRED, BE A GREAT PIECE OF HOMEWORK FOR EVERYBODY TO BRING BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING TO GIVE BACK TO MARY.

JUST MY $0.02. TOURIST COMMITTEE.

PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL COMING UP THIS FRIDAY.

YEAH. SO PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL.

MARY'S NOT AVAILABLE.

JACKIE'S NOT AVAILABLE AND ANDREW'S NOT AVAILABLE.

SO, MARK, WE CONFIRMED TODAY THAT MARK AND TED ARE AVAILABLE, AND SO ALONG WITH TRAVIS DRAKE, OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, AND SHELLY AND MYSELF WILL BE ATTENDING.

SO WE'RE SPLIT INTO TWO TEAMS AND WE'VE COMMUNICATED THAT WITH PRAIRIE AND THEY'RE GREAT WITH IT.

THEY APPRECIATE IT. THEY'RE SORRY THAT YOU GUYS CAN'T ATTEND, BUT THEY UNDERSTAND.

MORE SNACKS FOR US? YEAH, YEAH, MORE SNACKS.

AND THEY'RE ALWAYS GOOD, AND WE KNOW THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE GOOD.

FOOD IS GOOD THERE. YES, DEFINITELY.

SO THAT'LL BE GREAT.

IT'S JUST. I'M SORRY YOU GUYS CAN'T COME, AND WE LOOKED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF RESCHEDULING, BUT THIS LATE IN THE YEAR, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING UP, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RESCHEDULE.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD.

[00:40:01]

SO WE'LL ALSO HAVE THEM AS PART OF OUR TEAM.

SO IT'LL BE A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF US.

GOOD I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SORRY YOU CAN'T BE THERE, BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

OKAY, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT? ANYTHING FOR DIRECTOR REPORTS.

I HAVE ONE.

UP HERE ON THE SCREEN YOU SHOULD SEE SOME PHOTOS.

THIS IS A RECENT PURCHASE THAT WE MADE FOR BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL.

I CAN SCROLL THROUGH THEM.

AS PART OF THE ATHLETIC REVIEW TEAM.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE IDENTIFIED AT BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE NEED FOR A NEW GYM EQUIPMENT AND THIS IS THE RESULT OF THAT.

SO THIS WAS INSTALLED OVER SPRING BREAK.

IT'S THAT'S A GOOD PICTURE.

YEAH. BEGINNING PHASE OF THIS.

THERE'S STILL SOME MORE STUFF COMING UP, BUT THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR US AT BATTLE GROUND AND THE DIFFERENT SPORTS PROGRAMS. IN FACT, JUST TODAY WE HAD, I THINK, 40, 50 KIDS IN THERE WORKING OUT THAT IT WAS PACKED.

THE UTILIZATION ON IT IS SO MUCH MORE FUNCTIONAL.

WE CAN GET MORE ATHLETES WORKING OUT AT ONE TIME, AND JUST THE KIDS LOVE IT.

THE COACHES LOVE IT EVEN MORE, I THINK, AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

SO PART OF THE UPDATES IN HERE, NOT JUST THE EQUIPMENT, BUT ALSO THE PAINT ON THE WALLS.

WE HAD THE CEILINGS AND RAFTERS ALL CLEANED.

IT'S BEEN SOME TIME SINCE THAT'S BEEN DONE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE WHITE.

THEY'RE WHITE NOW, AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT IN THE PICTURE ON THE TOP THERE.

THERE'S TWO BIG SCREEN TVS THAT ARE INSTALLED THAT YOU CAN VIEW FROM EITHER DIRECTION, AND THAT'S INTERCONNECTED TO THE COACH'S COMPUTER. AND WE CAN CONTROL THE WORKOUTS THAT ARE SHOWN UP THERE.

WE CAN DO INSPIRATIONAL VIDEOS, POWERPOINTS, WHATEVER WE NEED TO IN THERE AS COACHES AND THEN AS WELL AS THE GYM CLASSES THAT UTILIZE THAT SPACE.

SO EVERYBODY'S EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU GUYS THE PHOTOS AND THE RESULT OF THAT EFFORT. SO YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS.

OBVIOUSLY, OUR COMMUNITY, WITH THE SUPPORT THAT THEY GIVE THE SCHOOLS THROUGH THE LEVY, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT WHO WAS ABLE TO FIND SOME OF THAT MONEY CERTAINLY OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT THAT THOSE THAT PAINTING AND ALL OF THAT WAS DONE BY KEVIN AND HIS TEAM. CERTAINLY THE ADVOCACY BY THE COMMITTEE THE COACHES WAREHOUSE PUTTING THAT ALL TOGETHER A LOT OF PEOPLE AND WELL DESERVED FOR THE STUDENTS OF BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL.

THE LAST EQUIPMENT WAS PURCHASED BACK IN THE MID 80S, SO THE EQUIPMENT WAS WELL PAST.

SORRY, I CAN PROBABLY TESTIFY GOING IN THERE BEFORE AND SEEING IT, IT WAS.

I DON'T GO IN THERE VERY MUCH, BUT I'VE SEEN IT.

RIGHT. I DO WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT PRAIRIE IS GETTING NOT THE WEIGHTS BECAUSE THEY'RE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT WAS A LITTLE MORE RECENT THAN THAT.

MUCH MORE RECENT THAN THAT, BUT PRAIRIE IS GETTING NEW WRESTLING MATS, NEW CHEER MATS, WHICH ARE CONSIDERABLE INVESTMENT, AND THOSE SHOULD BE ARRIVING SOON. SO THAT'S A BIG DEAL FOR PRAIRIE AS WELL.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION FOR OUR STUDENT ATHLETES AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS NECESSARY TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE AND DO THE GREAT JOBS THAT THEY DO.

OTHER DIRECTOR REPORTS.

COULD WE TALK ABOUT THE PARENT LETTER RECEIVED ABOUT TECHNOLOGY? WE GOT BACK ON MARCH 28TH.

YEAH, AND SCOTT IS ACTUALLY HERE, SO PERHAPS SCOTT COULD JUST COME UP AND SPEAK THAT THE LETTER WAS OF CONCERN ABOUT HOW THE DISTRICT CONTROLS CONTENT RIGHT THROUGH SOME OF ITS TECHNOLOGY DEVICES, SPECIFICALLY THE STUDENT CHROMEBOOKS. SO SCOTT CAN SPEAK TO THAT, AND I THINK THIS HAS COME UP BEFORE, BUT I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A REFRESHER AND JUST HELP OUR PARENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT MEASURES YOUR TEAM TAKES TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE.

ABSOLUTELY. WE RESPONDED TO THE QUESTION THAT WAS SENT IN.

[00:45:03]

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT A STUDENT DETERMINE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO OR MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND A WEBSITE THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE FILTERING CONFIGURATION FOR THOSE TWO DIFFERENT PRODUCTS.

WHEN WE DO SEE ISSUES WHERE WHEN PARENTS REPORT WEBSITES TO US, WHEN TEACHERS REPORT WEBSITES TO US, WE REVIEW IT AND WE BLOCK IT, UNLESS IT'S SOMETIMES THEY'LL REQUEST TO BLOCK SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLY SOMETHING THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS AND THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE IT, BUT IT ACTUALLY IS SUPPORTING OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

SO WE DO GET THOSE PERIODICALLY, AND LIKE I SAID, WE RESPOND VERY QUICKLY WITH IT.

THE CONFIGURATION ON BOTH FILTERS IS UPDATED.

WHEN THE STUDENTS LEAVE CAMPUS, THEY'RE FILTERING IS MANAGED JUST BY GOGUARDIAN AND WE ALLOW A SECOND LAYER OF CONTROL FOR THE PARENTS.

SO THAT IS PART OF GOGUARDIAN PARENT.

ANY PARENT THAT'S LISTED AS A GUARDIAN ON A STUDENT'S SKYWARD CONFIGURATION CAN GET ACCESS TO CONTROL WHAT THEIR CHILD DOES ONLINE, AND THAT CAN BE ANYTHING FROM BLOCKING A PARTICULAR WEBSITE OR CHANGING A SCHEDULE TIME.

FOR INSTANCE, IF PARENTS DON'T WANT THEIR CHILD ONLINE AFTER 6 P.M., THEY CAN SHUT IT DOWN.

THEY CAN PAUSE IT RIGHT WHERE IT IS IF THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO, CONFIGURE SCHEDULES.

SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL ABOUT WHAT OCCURS AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY.

OKAY, SO THE PROGRESS OF WHAT OCCURS WITHIN THE SCHOOL AND WITHIN THE DISTRICT WHEN A STUDENT INFRACTION DOES OCCUR USUALLY ORIGINATES WITH THE TEACHER, SOMETIMES WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR, AND THEY'LL USUALLY DO THE FOLLOW UP WITH THE STUDENT AND WITH THE PARENT AS FAR AS ESTABLISHING DISCIPLINE, WHAT SEEMS FAIR, WHAT SEEMS APPROPRIATE, WHAT KIND OF INTERVENTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE LEARNING APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR.

AS FAR AS ACCESSING WHAT A STUDENT IS ABLE TO DO.

PARENTS CAN SEE WHAT THEIR CHILD DOES AT ANY GIVEN TIME USING GOGUARDIAN PARENT.

THE TEACHER CAN SEE ANYTHING THAT THE CHILD IS DOING WHILE THEY'RE IN CLASS AND THE ADMINISTRATOR CAN PULL HISTORIES AT LEAST BACK SIX MONTHS.

IT MIGHT BE A YEAR ON AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT THAT'S WITHIN THEIR SCHOOL.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONTROLS IN PLACE.

AND SCOTT, ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM A PARENT IS THAT GOGUARDIAN CAN BE TURNED OFF.

AND WE HEAR THAT PERIODICALLY.

WE HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO FIND A WAY THAT IT IS ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL.

WE HAVE TALKED TO GOGUARDIAN, WE'VE TALKED TO COLLEAGUES IN OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE WILL POST WAYS TO GET AROUND DIFFERENT FILTERS ON THE INTERNET, WE CONTROL WHEN WE GO THROUGH THEM, WE CAN ASCERTAIN, WELL, WE'RE ALREADY BLOCKING ACCESS TO THAT PARTICULAR SETTING OR WITH GOOGLE, WE CONTROL ACCESS TO THIS OTHER SETTING THAT PREVENTS THAT.

THAT'S PART OF THOSE INSTRUCTIONS.

YOU WERE KIND OF EXPLAINING TO ME THAT GOGUARDIAN IS ACTUALLY EMBEDDED INTO THE SYSTEM, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT AS THOUGH YOU'RE TURNING IT OFF FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER, RIGHT? IT'S NOT ASSIGNED TO AN INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER.

IT'S TURNED IT'S INTO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

IT FOLLOWS THE STUDENT WHEN THEY LOG IN TO GOOGLE, WHEN THEY LOG INTO CHROME ITSELF, I SHOULD SAY.

SO IF A STUDENT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, IF THEY WERE ABLE TO TOTALLY WIPE THEIR CHROMEBOOK AS SOON AS IT CONNECTS TO THE INTERNET, GOOGLE RECOGNIZES THAT DEVICE BELONGS TO US AND THAT ACCOUNT BELONGS TO US AND THEY FORCE GOGUARDIAN RIGHT BACK DOWN ONTO IT.

SO THERE'LL BE A FEW SECONDS OF TIME BEFORE IT HITS THE DEVICE AGAIN SO THEY CAN TRY AND RESET IT.

THEY CAN TRY AND WIPE IT.

GOGUARDIAN FINDS THEM AND STARTS BLOCKING THEM.

AND IS THAT REGARDLESS IF IT'S THEIR OWN PERSONAL DEVICE OR A SCHOOL DEVICE? THE SCHOOL DEVICE IS WHERE IT'S FORCED ON IF THEY SIGN INTO CHROME ON A PERSONAL COMPUTER, IT WILL IMPLEMENT THE FILTERING THAT'S IN PLACE.

WE DON'T ALLOW THE MONITORING TO OCCUR AFTER SCHOOL HOURS.

THAT'S WHERE A TEACHER CAN SEE THE ACTIVE DESKTOPS OF ANY STUDENT IN THEIR CLASS.

[00:50:01]

WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEED TO SEE THAT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY, YEAH.

OKAY, GOOD. I APPRECIATE THAT.

YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS.

AND ANYTIME, LIKE I SAID, ANYTIME WE HEAR THAT THE RUMBLINGS OF STUDENTS SAYING THEY CAN TURN IT OFF, WE'RE INVESTIGATING AND TAKING IT INCREDIBLY SERIOUSLY.

THEY HAVE AN AMAZING NETWORK TEAM AND THEY IMMEDIATELY START TESTING IT.

WE'RE ALL VERY AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING KIDS SAFE ONLINE.

SO DO YOU FIND ONE THAT CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF? MIGHT NEED TO HIRE HIM? I WOULD LOVE TO MEET THAT STUDENT, AND.

IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THANKS, GUYS. THANK YOU. WELCOME.

ANY OTHER DIRECTOR REPORTS BEFORE WE TURN IT OVER TO SUPERINTENDENT WATERS.

IT'S ALL YOURS. THANK YOU, BART.

[6. Superintendent and Staff Updates]

430. WE'RE STARTING THE DAY AT 4:30 WITH A WORK SESSION ON THE POTENTIAL FOR LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD RUN A BOND.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO, FORTUNATELY TO WORK WITH A COMPANY CALLED STRATEGIES 360, WHO WE COMMISSIONED TO DO A POLL FOR US WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO ASSESS WHAT OUR COMMUNITY WAS THINKING AROUND THE ISSUES, AROUND A POTENTIAL BOND RUN.

AND WE ARE FORTUNATE TODAY TO HAVE THE VICE PRESIDENT OF STRATEGIES 360 RACHEL NAKANISHI HERE WITH US TODAY.

AND RACHEL IS GOING TO GO OVER FOR THE BOARD THE RESULTS OF THIS COMMUNITY POLL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, RACHEL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT.

LIKE THE SUPERINTENDENT JUST SAID, MY NAME IS RACHEL NAKANISHI.

I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF EDUCATION AT STRATEGIES 360.

WE ARE A SEATTLE BASED COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS TEAM, AND I WORK WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND WASHINGTON STATE ON ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF COMMUNICATION SUPPORT, BUT PARTICULARLY AROUND BOND AND LEVY CAMPAIGNS.

SO TONIGHT I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO GO OVER.

I'LL WALK THROUGH THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION POLL THAT WE CONDUCTED.

IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I'LL BLOW THROUGH THE SLIDES PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AS THEY ARISE.

SO TO GO OVER THE METHODOLOGY HERE, WE SPOKE TO 308 RESIDENTS OF THE DISTRICT IN LATE FEBRUARY.

THIS IS THE SURVEY WAS MULTIMODAL, WHICH MEANS THAT PEOPLE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL ON THEIR LANDLINES, ON THEIR CELL PHONES OR A TEXT MESSAGE LINK.

THE RESPONSES IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES HAVE BEEN WEIGHTED, SO THEY'RE REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS BASED ON THE CENSUS INFORMATION.

WE HAVE A 95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL, WHICH MEANS THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE STATISTICALLY PROJECTABLE TO THE LARGER POPULATION. HERE'S JUST SOME HIGH LEVEL POINTS AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THE DATA IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES, BUT JUST UNDER HALF OF THE RESIDENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH THE DISTRICT.

AS A REMINDER, THIS IS NOT JUST PARENTS, NOT JUST VOTERS, BUT ALL ADULTS WHO RESIDE WITHIN THE BATTLE GROUND BOUNDARIES.

THOUGH THE DISTRICT DOES RECEIVE HIGH MARKS ON KEEPING STUDENTS SAFE AND MAINTAINING FACILITIES AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMMUNITY LEGALLY, AND PER THE PDC, WE CAN'T ASK IF THEY WOULD SUPPORT A POTENTIAL FUNDING MEASURE, BUT WE CAN ASK ABOUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF SCHOOL DISTRICT FUNDING AND APPETITE FOR TAX RAISES.

WE ASK RESIDENTS ABOUT THEIR PRIORITIES AND HOW THOSE ARE ALIGNED TO PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN A POTENTIAL FUNDING MEASURE.

SAFETY AND SECURITY COMES OUT ON TOP, AND THAT'S PRETTY STANDARD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AT THIS TIME WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS, CTE PROGRAMS ALSO FAIRLY HIGHLY. SO PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A CAREER AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

[00:55:01]

IF I CAN, IS THE DARKER SECTION THE STATE AVERAGE.

THE DARKER IS YEAH, THE DARKER SECTION IS THE VERY SATISFIED AND VERY DISSATISFIED.

AND THEN WE LIKE TO THINK OF THE RESPONDENTS THAT ARE NOT SURE THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE FOLKS AND JUST LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT.

RESIDENTS WERE ASKED TO RATE THE DISTRICT'S PERFORMANCE ON A NUMBER OF METRICS.

OVERALL, KEEPING STUDENTS SAFE PERFORMS THE HIGHEST.

SO THE DISTRICT IS DOING A VERY A GOOD JOB AT KEEPING STUDENTS SAFE.

COMING IN SECOND IS MAINTAINING SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.

AT THE BOTTOM WE CAN SEE BEING TRANSPARENT AND MANAGING TAXPAYER DOLLARS, AND THOSE GENERALLY COME IN LOWER RATED FOR ANY PUBLIC ENTITY.

AND AGAIN, I LIKE TO THINK OF THE NUMBERS THAT ARE IN THE BLACK AND TO THE RIGHT AS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT. THIS IS JUST PULLING OUT THE PARENTS RESPONSES.

SO PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THEY HAVE COMMUNICATIONS AS THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE.

SO THEY'RE FEELING LIKE THEY ARE IN THE LOOP.

THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, THEY'RE INFORMED, AND COMING IN SECOND IS KEEPING STUDENTS SAFE.

AGAIN, HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT BEING TRANSPARENT RATES HIGHER THAN SORT OF THE GENERAL POPULATION, AND AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S JUST BECAUSE PARENTS ARE PLUGGED IN.

THEY'RE RECEIVING THE EMAILS AND THE NOTICES FROM THE SCHOOLS AND FROM THE DISTRICT.

SO THEY RATE IT A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THE BROADER PUBLIC.

AND THEN JUST TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS HERE, SORT OF THE MOST LIKELY TO RATE POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT.

RESIDENTS WERE ASKED WHETHER THEY FELT THAT THE DISTRICT NEEDED MORE FUNDING.

OOPS. I'M SORRY. WRONG SLIDE.

NOPE. RIGHT SLIDE. WRONG PAGE.

RESIDENTS WERE ASKED IF THEY FELT THE DISTRICT NEEDED MORE FUNDING.

SO IT'S A PRETTY EVEN SPLIT HERE, AND THEN FOR THOSE WHO FELT THAT THE DISTRICT NEEDED ADDITIONAL, THERE'S A HIGHER INTENSITY THERE.

SO THEY FEEL THAT THE DISTRICT DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE FUNDING.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, HERE'S JUST THE DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKOUT OF THOSE MOST LIKELY TO RECOGNIZE THE NEED OF FUNDING IN THE DISTRICT.

RESIDENTS WERE ASKED ABOUT TAX SENSITIVITY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S FAIRLY HIGH.

WHERE I THINK WE'RE ALL FEELING SORT OF THE SQUEEZE OF INFLATION THESE DAYS.

THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON TREND ACROSS THE STATE RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS NOT AN EXACT PROXY FOR APPETITE, BUT IT CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE IDEA OF HOW FOLKS MIGHT RESPOND TO AN ADDITIONAL TAX, AND AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THE DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKOUT ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE THE HIGHEST RESPONDERS FEEL THE HIGHEST TAX SENSITIVITY.

RESIDENTS WERE ASKED ABOUT DIFFERENT TOPICS THAT MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN A FUNDING MEASURE AND WHICH MIGHT BE THE TOP PRIORITY.

SO SAFETY AND SECURITY UPGRADES IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS, AGAIN, THE HIGHEST FOLLOWED PRETTY CLOSELY BY CTE PROGRAMS SUCH AS CONSTRUCTION AND CULINARY ARTS.

SOME OF THE LOWER ONES WERE REPLACING THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS, PURCHASING LAND, TECHNOLOGY AND UPDATING ATHLETIC FIELDS COMES IN AT THE LOWEST PRIORITY.

ON THE QUESTION OF AGING SCHOOLS, RESIDENTS WERE ASKED TO PRIORITIZE WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT FUNDS TO GO TO UPDATING VERSUS REPLACING A NEW BUILDING, AND WE CAN SEE HERE THAT UPDATING IS A HIGHER PRIORITY.

I THINK OFTEN FOLKS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH UPDATING WITH THE UPKEEP OF THE OLDER SCHOOL BUILDINGS, AND AGAIN, THAT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE AND EXPLAIN THAT OFTEN MAINTENANCE OF OLDER SCHOOL BUILDINGS IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN REPLACING THE BUILDING.

[01:00:08]

MOVING INTO COMMUNICATION AND MESSAGING.

RESPONDENTS WERE SHOWN A SERIES OF MESSAGES AND YOU'LL SEE THAT YOU HAVE A SHORTHAND LABEL HERE PREPARES THE TOP MESSAGE, AND THAT MESSAGE THAT RESIDENTS WERE GIVEN WAS STUDENTS SHOULD LEAVE SCHOOL PREPARED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS FROM A 2 OR 4 YEAR COLLEGE TO A GOOD PAYING JOB RIGHT AWAY.

THE DISTRICT SHOULD FOCUS ON PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED IN TODAY'S ECONOMY, INCLUDING FIRST CLASS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION COURSES.

SO THAT MESSAGE CAME OUT CLEARLY AS THE TOP.

THE TOP MESSAGE IS IN TERMS OF WHAT FUNDING MIGHT GO TO OR HOW FUNDING MIGHT EQUATE TO OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS.

AND THEN THIS SECOND TIER OF PRIORITIES HERE GOES TO THE MATCHING FUNDS, THE SAFETY AND SECURITY UPDATES AND THE ADDRESSING GROWTH IN THE DISTRICT, AND THOSE ARE ALL PRETTY CLOSELY ALIGNED IN TERMS OF COMPELLING REASONS THAT FUNDING MIGHT BE USED.

WE AGAIN ASKED PARTICIPANTS IF THEY FELT THERE WAS A NEED FOR THE DISTRICT, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT AFTER THEY HEARD THOSE SIX MESSAGES, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN UNDERSTANDING OF A FINANCIAL NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE DISTRICT.

SO EDUCATING AND COMMUNICATING DOES WORK TO HELP RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND SORT OF THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, THE FINANCIAL NEED AND WHAT A FUNDING MEASURE MIGHT GO TOWARDS, AND THEN WE ASKED RESIDENTS WHERE THEY RECEIVED THEIR INFORMATION OR NEWS ABOUT THE DISTRICT, AND THE LOCAL MEDIA COMES OUT ON TOP FOR THE BROAD COMMUNITY.

NOT A SURPRISE THERE, AND THEN AMONG PARENTS, COMMUNICATION DIRECTLY FROM A SCHOOL OR THE DISTRICT IS THE TOP SOURCE OF INFORMATION, AND THAT IS ALL OF THE SLIDES.

SO I BLEW THROUGH THOSE PRETTY QUICKLY.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DIVE DEEPER INTO? ON THE SAMPLE SIZE IF I UNDERSTOOD IT CORRECTLY, YOU SAID IT WAS 308.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S RELATIVELY 1% OF THE POPULATION.

DO YOU FEEL THAT'S A IS THAT I MEAN, DOES THAT GIVE YOU SOLID CONFIDENCE THAT YOUR RESULTS ARE ACCURATE WITH ONLY 1% SAMPLE SIZE? YEAH, THAT'S A WE HAD A 95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL AND THAT'S AN INDUSTRY STANDARD IN TERMS OF GIVING US A PROJECTABLE STATISTICS SO.

I WAS GOING TO SAY, RACHEL, SO THE WAY THAT YOU EXPLAINED IT TO ME WHEN WE WERE PREPARING FOR IT WAS THAT YOU DID PRIOR TO STARTING THE SURVEY, YOU DID A PRETTY BIG DEMOGRAPHIC DIVE INTO THE DISTRICT, SO YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL THE POCKETS AND YOU TRIED TO GET A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE.

THAT'S RIGHT. YEP. SO WE SO WHILE RESPONSE IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER FOR POLLING, WE DID BASED ON THE NUMBERS THAT WE GOT, WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK CONFIDENTLY THAT THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT THE DEMOGRAPHICS.

WE CAN'T DIVE TOO MUCH DEEPER INTO SORT OF THAT SECOND LAYER OF DEMOGRAPHICS SO WE CAN SPEAK TO SORT OF GENDER, HOUSEHOLD INCOME, THOSE SORT OF TOP LAYERS.

LOCATION LOCATION AND THEN SORT OF PARENT OR NON PARENT, BUT TO DO ANY MORE DEMOGRAPHIC SORT OF FACTORING IN, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO BASED ON THAT NUMBER, BUT BASED ON THIS NUMBER, WE'RE WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT IT'S FAIRLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LARGER COMMUNITY.

WHICH IS SOMEHOW AND I SEE YOUR POINT, TED, BECAUSE THAT'S THE QUESTION RACHEL AND I WERE TALKING PRIOR TO THE MEETING, AND THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I CONTINUE TO GET IS WILL DENNY IT'S ONLY 300 PEOPLE, BUT IT IS A SCIENTIFIC SURVEY AND IT DOES HAVE YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN PROVEN TO BEAR OUT OVER OVER TIME.

YEAH. THIS THE 95% IS A RESEARCH INDUSTRY SORT OF MIDDLE AVERAGE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

I JUST I'VE ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH POLLING.

I JUST HAVE PERSONALLY.

I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN SO MANY CASES WHERE POLLING HAS BEEN INACCURATE, AND WHEN I SEE A SAMPLE SIZE OF 300 PEOPLE, I'M STRUGGLING TO BITE DOWN ON THAT. I RESPECT IT, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE SEEN A BIGGER NUMBER.

[01:05:04]

[LAUGHTER] RIGHT NOW IN THE POLLING INDUSTRY, IT TAKES ABOUT 200 PHONE NUMBERS TO REACH ONE COMPLETION.

YEAH, SO WE WERE GLAD TO GET ABOVE WHAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED.

I'M SURE YOU GOT A LOT OF CLICKS.

YES.

ON THE QUESTION ABOUT THE BUILDING MAINTENANCE.

YEP. AND ALL OF THAT WAS THE QUESTION PHRASED SO THAT IT LUMPED ALL THE BUILDINGS TOGETHER OR DID IT TRY TO PORTION OUT LIKE OUR OLDEST BUILDINGS VERSUS OUR NEWER BUILDINGS? WE LUMPED IT ALL TOGETHER JUST BECAUSE GIVEN A BROAD COMMUNITY SAMPLE, WE DIDN'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF INFORMATION.

SO WE DID.

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THAT EXACT WORDING HERE.

I THINK IT'S IN THE FINE PRINT DOWN THERE.

WITH THIS QUESTION ABOUT REPLACING VERSUS THAT ONE AND I THINK THE ONE BEFORE.

YEAH. SO THIS QUESTION, THIS IS HOW IT WAS ASKED IN GENERAL, WHICH DO YOU THINK OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE BEST APPROACH? YEAH. SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MORE DETAIL ABOUT SORT OF THE COST OF MAINTENANCE VERSUS THE COST OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW BUILDING.

I THINK OFTEN WE THINK OF OUR OWN HOMES AND WHETHER IT'S MORE AFFORDABLE TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE OR REPLACE A SYSTEM, BUT I THINK MANY FOLKS DON'T KNOW SORT OF THE DETAILS OF ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

AND YOU DID KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST.

THAT'S RIGHT. KIND OF DEAL. SO CAN YOU BREAK OUT HOW THE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH THAT TEND TO HAVE THE OLDER BUILDINGS OR THE FAR NORTH FOR THAT MATTER? YEAH, I CAN I CAN PULL THAT DATA AFTER THIS MEETING.

YEAH.

STUDENTS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I MEAN, NOT REALLY.

WE'RE KIND OF JUST LIKE GOING OVER IT AND THEN JUST LOOKING BACK AND FORTH.

SO, YEAH.

IT'S A LOT TO DIGEST.

IT'S A LOT IT TAKES SOME TIME TO STUDY.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT I GET TO SEE EVERYTHING, THOUGH.

IT'S LIKE ALL LABELED OUT SO.

YOU SAID THAT YOU WORK WITH DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE.

DO YOU THINK THE LEVELS OF TRANSPARENCY, LIKE THE PERCEPTIONS OF TRANSPARENCY WITHIN THE PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY LIKE REFLECT THE STATEWIDE LEVELS? OR LIKE, ARE THEY HIGHER OR LOWER, IN YOUR OPINION? LET ME LOOK AT THAT NUMBER REAL QUICK.

I THINK IT'S ABOUT AVERAGE.

IT JUST THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO THAT RESPONSE.

IT'S I THINK OFTEN IT'S HIGHLY EMOTIONAL AS WELL AND DEPENDS ON SORT OF WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN OPERATIONAL SORT OF UPDATES OR CHANGES THAT FOLKS ARE UPSET ABOUT AT THAT TIME, AND I THINK BROADLY, SORT OF FOLKS THAT AREN'T FOLLOWING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT OR PUBLIC ENTITY, WOULD PROBABLY NOT RESPOND FAVORABLY IN TERMS OF TRANSPARENCY AND TAXPAYER SPENDING.

SO THAT IS WHAT WE'RE SEEING SORT OF NATIONALLY.

YOU SAW A SEVEN POINT BUMP IN YOUR NUMBERS AFTER YOU EXPLAINED A FEW THINGS ON THOSE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS. A SEVEN POINT BUMP AFTER I DON'T KNOW HOW EXTENSIVE THOSE EXPLANATIONS WERE, BUT I IMAGINED THE TIME BEING THEY WEREN'T SIGNIFICANT. DO YOU THINK WITH A PRETTY DRAMATIC MARKETING TARGETING THOSE POINTS THAT WE COULD SEE GREATER THAN A SEVEN POINT BUMP? I THINK YES, I THINK WITH A SIGNIFICANT EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PLAN, I THINK DEFINITELY YOU COULD THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE FOLKS.

YEP. SO TOWN HALLS OTHER.

AND I THINK PARTICULARLY REACHING FOLKS THAT ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE DISTRICT WHICH IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE, BUT FOLKS THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OR AREN'T FOLLOWING SORT OF THE SPENDING, THE BUDGET PLANS.

RIGHT. SO REALLY REACHING OUT TO FOLKS WHO AREN'T CONNECTED TO THE DISTRICT, THERE'S DEFINITELY AN OPPORTUNITY THERE, BUT I THINK I WOULD SAY IT'S NOT INSURMOUNTABLE BUT WILL TAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT.

OKAY.

FOR THE NEWS AND INFORMATION SOURCES ABOUT BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, I NOTICED THAT YOU LIKE SEPARATED EVERYTHING FOR LIKE THE PARENT PERCEPTION VERSUS THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION.

DID YOU HAPPEN TO DO THAT FOR THAT SECTION, THAT CATEGORY AS WELL, TO LIKE SEPARATE IT OUT TO SEE HOW THE BROADER PUBLIC FINDS OUT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PUBLIC

[01:10:10]

OH, SORRY. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE ARE NON PARENTS AND ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE ARE PARENTS.

I SEE. OH, OKAY, YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR RACHEL? RACHEL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. RACHEL CAME DOWN FROM SEATTLE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HEARD THAT NOW THERE'S A MUDSLIDE IN WOODLAND SO.

[LAUGHTER] RACHEL'S GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET HOME SO.

[LAUGHTER] ANYONE HAS A COUCH.

I CAN SLEEP. NO.

[LAUGHTER] THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT WAS SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

ONE ONE MORE THING FOR ME, AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE REST OF THE TEAM.

NEXT WEEK WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A I THINK JACKIE AND MARK, YOU WERE GOING TO ATTEND A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

WE HAD IT ON OUR CALENDAR TO MEET WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGER, ERIN ERDMAN.

SOMETHING'S COME UP FOR ERIN AND SHE'S NOT ABLE TO MEET.

SO WE'RE RESCHEDULING THAT MEETING AND THAT WILL BE NOW MAY 10TH WILL BE THE NEW DATE FOR THAT.

SO WE SENT OUT A CALENDAR INVITE.

THAT'S JUST A TENTATIVE IF YOU COULD JUST LOOK FOR THAT AND RESPOND.

IF YOU GUYS CAN'T ATTEND THAT MEETING BECAUSE YOU HAD INDICATED YOU WERE INTERESTED IN GOING TO THAT, THEN WE WOULD OPEN IT UP TO THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS.

I KNOW MARY ATTENDED AND TED ATTENDED.

MARY AND TED ATTENDED THE LAST TIME, SO IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND, THEN WE'LL OPEN IT UP TO OTHERS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET TWO BOARD MEMBERS AT THAT MEETING ON MAY 10TH.

THANK YOU, AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO SHELLY.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.

BOARD WE DID TURN IN OUR WAIVER REQUEST THE TUESDAY FOLLOWING OUR LAST BOARD MEETING JUST BEFORE SPRING BREAK, AND WE HAVE ALREADY HEARD BACK.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE WAIVER BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE A STATE OF EMERGENCY IMPLEMENTED AT THE STATE LEVEL.

WE WERE NOT OFFERED A WAIVER FOR OUR SNOW CLOSURES.

SO YOU HAVE A CALENDAR IN FRONT OF YOU, A PINK CALENDAR THAT WOULD MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF MAKING UP THOSE DAYS. IT'S NOT GREAT.

I'LL JUST TELL YOU.

SO OUR LAST DAYS FOR THE SOUTH END SCHOOLS WOULD MAKE THOSE BE THE 15TH AND 16TH AND THOSE WOULD BE HALF DAYS, AND THEN BECAUSE JUNE 19TH IS NOW A STATE HOLIDAY, JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY, WE CAN'T HOLD SCHOOL ON THAT DAY, AND SO OUR LAST TWO MAKE UP DAYS FOR THE NORTH END SCHOOLS WOULD BE THE 20TH AND 21ST OF JUNE.

SO PUTS US PRETTY LATE.

MAY LEAD US TO CONSIDERATIONS IN THE FUTURE FOR WHEN OUR START DATE IS CERTAINLY FOR SOMETHING FOR US TO CONSIDER.

THOSE ARE HALF DAYS? YES, THE LAST TWO DAYS ARE HALF DAYS.

AND AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE TO WHERE OUR PLAN IS NOT TO CHANGE GRADUATION DATES.

IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO CHANGE GRADUATION DATES WITH PEOPLE HAVING ARRANGED FOR GRANDPARENTS OR OTHER RELATIVES TO COME FOR THAT, BUT IT MAY MEAN THAT OUR SENIORS WOULD HAVE TO RETURN FOR A DAY OR TWO AFTER THE GRADUATION DATE.

PROBABLY NOT IN THE SOUTH, BUT MAYBE IN THE NORTH, AND AGAIN, IT JUST IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.

WE YOU KNOW, IT WAS AN ATTEMPT ON OUR PART.

WE WERE SURPRISED AT HOW QUICKLY THEY RESPONDED BECAUSE AS WE INDICATED TO YOU, THAT WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HEAR SOMETHING UNTIL THE 1ST OF MAY, BUT THEY RESPONDED QUICKLY, AND I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR THAT NO STATEWIDE WEATHER EMERGENCY HAD BEEN CALLED IN THE PAST.

STATEWIDE EMERGENCIES HAD BEEN CALLED, AND IT WAS PRETTY LIMITED TO SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON , AND THEREFORE THE DAYS WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM UP, THERE WAS NO REAL OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.

RIGHT? SO ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE WE'RE LETTING YOU KNOW TONIGHT IF ANYBODY IS LISTENING IN, THEY NOW KNOW, BUT WE'LL BE SENDING OUT AN EMAIL TO OUR FAMILIES AND LETTING OUR STAFF AND ALL SCHOOLS KNOW THAT TOMORROW, YEAH, WE'LL

[01:15:05]

BUT DETAILS THAT WILL IMPACT THEM THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ACCURATELY.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT AS WE SPEAK, BUT YEAH, SHOULD HAVE THAT OUT IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS IT MEANS CHANGING OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CALENDAR FOR JUNE AND A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS TOO.

SO WE'LL ADJUST.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CALENDAR? ALL RIGHT, SO THEN THE SECOND PIECE I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP WITH YOU IS BOARD RETREATS.

TYPICALLY, WE'VE TRIED TO DO THAT IN JUNE.

I THINK THE LAST TIME WAS IN JULY.

JULY IS OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF YOU.

IT'S ALSO DIFFICULT FOR THE TEACHING AND LEARNING STAFF, BUT I WANTED TO PUT OUT TWO POTENTIAL DATES THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AS JUNE 28TH AND 29TH TO SEE IF THOSE ARE DATES THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU.

OUR MANY OF OUR STAFF ARE PRESENTING EARLIER IN THAT WEEK AT THE AWSP SUMMER CONFERENCE, AND SO SOME OF THE STAFF THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH US ON BOARD GOVERNANCE, THE BOOK STUDY THAT WE BEGAN, ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE FIRST PART OF THAT WEEK. SO OUR HOPE IS THAT ONE OF THOSE TWO DAYS WORKS.

OTHERWISE WE'RE INTO JULY, WHICH DISPERSES EVERYONE.

AND THEN AUGUST IS STARTS TO GET BUSY AGAIN.

SO I BELIEVE SANDY SENT OUT A POLL FOR THAT.

I MEAN, JUST AN EMAIL AND SOME OF YOU RESPONDED AND SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T, AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING IT UP AGAIN TODAY.

OBVIOUSLY, IF REALLY, UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE LATE THE WAY THE YEAR IS GOING LATE AND NOW, I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY OUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY. IT'S NOT A NECESSITY THAT WE HAVE A BOARD RETREAT.

IT JUST HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WHENEVER WE HAVE DONE IT.

WE CAN TAKE EITHER THE 28TH AND 29TH AND GO, YOU KNOW, TWO, THREE HOURS, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU WOULD WANT TO GO ON EACH OF THOSE, WE CAN TAKE ONE OF THOSE DATES AND GO LONGER SESSION, GO FOUR HOURS ON ONE OF THOSE DAYS, THE 28TH OR THE 29TH.

SO IF YOU WOULD JUST CONSIDER THOSE DATES AND LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.

WE NEED TO GET THOSE ON THE CALENDAR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY ASK THEM.

OTHERWISE. I'M REPLYING TO YOU, SANDY.

THE CONFERENCE THAT I MIGHT HAVE HAD A CONFLICT WITH IT WAS MOVED TO AUGUST, SO I NO LONGER HAVE A CONFLICT.

YOU'RE GOOD. JACKIE'S GOOD.

WE HAVE THREE THAT ARE GOOD.

OKAY, NO PRESSURE TED AND ANDREW.

YES, I AM IN MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T HAVE ANY CONFLICTS AS OF RIGHT NOW, BUT THE NATURE OF MY WORK, IT COULD.

RIGHT. PRIORITY ITEM COULD COME UP.

YEAH. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY CONFLICTS AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW.

I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE WITH REGARD TO WHETHER WE SHOULD BE JUST ONE DAY OR TWO DAYS.

I DON'T THINK.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE FOR ME.

SO I HAVE LITERALLY NO EXPECTATIONS.

WE'LL SEND OUT A GOOGLE POLL WITH SOME OPTIONS NOW THAT WE HAVE THOSE DATES ARE AVAILABLE.

YEAH, THEY ARE AVAILABLE. WE'LL SEND OUT A COUPLE OF GOOGLE POLLS AND DO THE POLLS AND WE'LL COME TO SOME KIND OF DECISION AND LET YOU KNOW.

THANK YOU. THANKS. HUMAN RESOURCES.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. OKAY.

FINANCE? NOTHING.

KEVIN, OPERATIONS? YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THE OVER SPRING BREAK, WE WERE BUSY.

IF YOU DROP BY PLEASANT VALLEY PRIMARY, YOU SEE THAT LARGE TREE IS GONE.

WE LEFT A PRETTY LARGE STUMP.

THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO SOME CHAINSAW CARVING IN IT AND CREATE A MASCOT.

WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES. [LAUGHTER] VERY COOL.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG MASCOT.

HE SENSED PERHAPS A LITTLE BIT OF SKEPTICISM IN HIS VOICE, BUT I JUST HOPE THAT WOOD INSIDE WORKS SPLIT UP.

WE'LL FIND OUT THAT. WE'LL FIND OUT.

TED MENTIONED THE BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL WEIGHT ROOM WHERE WE PULLED OUT ALL THE OLD EQUIPMENT MONDAY.

TUESDAY WE DID SOME COATINGS ON THE MIRRORS, AND THEN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, WE MOVED EQUIPMENT BACK IN.

[01:20:07]

THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS 95% IN NEXT WEEK.

OPERATIONS AND SECURITY STAFF ARE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM.

IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK WE'LL GO TRAIN CAPTAIN STRONG.

WE'RE GOING TO VIDEOTAPE THAT SO THEN WE CAN ROLL IT OUT TO ALL THE SCHOOLS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH CAPTAIN STRONG.

THANK YOU KEVIN.

AND COMMUNICATION SUPPORT, AMANDA.

OKAY, GREAT. THAT DOES IT FOR US.

GREAT. THAT BRINGS US TO CITIZENS COMMENTS.

[7. Citizens' Comments]

I WILL JUST REMIND EVERYBODY THAT WE ASK YOU TO COME TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME, LIMIT YOUR TIME TO THREE MINUTES.

RICARDO WILL BE HOLDING UP SIGNS AS YOU GET CLOSE SO THAT YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE A TIMER , AND WE JUST ASK THAT YOU BE RESPECTFUL.

THE BOARD WILL MOST LIKELY NOT RESPOND OTHER THAN TO POSSIBLY DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO FOLLOW UP, AND WE WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS.

SO IF WE COULD HAVE STAN MARKINSON COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM FIRST ON OUR LIST.

OKAY, YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

WE WON'T START YOUR TIME STAN.

[LAUGHTER]. SO YOU'RE GOOD? I'M A LITTLE SLOW TODAY. IT'S A RACE.

[LAUGHTER] WELL, GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT WATERS AND THE BOARD.

PLEASURE. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

I WRITE DOWN THINGS BECAUSE I'M NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKER, AND I LOSE MY PLACE VERY EASILY.

SO MY DISCUSSION IS REGARDING THE POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE PROPOSED POLICY 3122.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE MANY OTHER ASPECTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, SUCH AS THE MORAL, MEDICAL, PRACTICAL AND PERHAPS LIABILITY, LEGAL LIABILITY ASPECTS OF SUCH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REGARDING MINOR AND UNDERAGE STUDENTS.

AS PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OF MINORS ATTENDING PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE BATTLE GROUND DISTRICT, I'M DISPLEASED WITH REGARDING OUR STATE'S PROMOTION OF THE CIRCUMVENTING OF GOD, GIVEN PARENTAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO LOVE, GUIDE, PROTECT AND OVERSEE THE CARE AND THE MAKING OF DECISIONS AFFECTING THE HEALTH AND THE WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN.

THERE WILL COME A TIME, AND I THINK IT'S ALREADY ARRIVED, THAT WE, THE PARENTS, AS WELL AS SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND TAXPAYING CITIZENS IN GENERAL, SHALL OPPOSE THE IRRATIONAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW LOSS OF OUR FREEDOMS, LIBERTIES, AND THAT'S BOTH RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR.

REGARDING ANY GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACHING MANDATES DICTATES POLICIES THAT ARE BEING HANDED DOWN BY THOSE IN OLYMPIA . OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS HAVE GONE FROM BEING CONSTITUTIONAL REPRESENTATIVES OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS TO BEING OVERLORDS OF THE PEOPLE AT TIMES AND WHO HAVE ELECTED THEM AND WHO EXPECTS THEM TO SERVE US, WHO ACTUALLY EMPLOY THEM BY OUR FINANCIAL AND VOTER SUPPORT. IT SEEMS THAT STATE GOVERNMENT WENT BEYOND THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES REGARDING THIS POLICY.

THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS STATED THE LAW TIES THE HANDS OF THOSE LIKE YOURSELVES WHO MUST ENFORCE SUCH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, BUT THAT COULD BE FAILING TO SAFEGUARD THE RULES OR THE ROLES EXCUSE ME, AND THE RIGHTS OF PARENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AS WELL.

WE HAVE THEM. IS THERE A TIME AND THIS IS A QUESTION JUST TO PONDER.

I'M NOT EXPECTING AN ANSWER.

IS THERE A TIME OR A LINE TO BE DRAWN THAT THIS BOARD OR DISTRICT WOULD EVER SAY NO TO AN OVERREACHING MANDATE THEY MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THAT COMES FROM A LEGISLATIVE OR STATE AUTHORITY.

ANOTHER QUESTION WOULD BE, WOULDN'T IT BE APPROPRIATE PERHAPS TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN OUR STATE WILL DO WITH REGARD TO THE USURPING OF PARENTAL AUTHORITY REGARDING THESE ISSUES?

[01:25:04]

I'VE HEARD SOME OF THE DISCUSSION EARLIER ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, THE TABLING OF THE VOTING AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND GETTING SOME OTHER ANSWERS ABOUT THE RCW AND WHATNOT, BUT AND THAT'S ALL GOOD TO PURSUE.

SO MAYBE I'M NOT TOTALLY UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE'RE AT WITH REGARD TO THAT PASSAGE OF THAT THOSE PROCEDURES ANYWAY, SO I'LL PROBABLY DO A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH MYSELF, BUT MY GENERAL STATEMENT STILL STANDS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VICTORIA FERRER.

FERRIAR THANK YOU.

I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK SINCE YOU TABLED IT, BUT I'M LIKE, IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO TALK TO THE LAWYERS, I ASSUME, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS BASED OFF OF WHAT OUR CONCERNS ARE.

SO GOOD MORNING OR GOOD AFTERNOON.

SORRY. GOOD EVENING. SORRY.

MY NAME IS VICTORIA FERRIAR.

MY RESPONSE FOR THIS EVENING IS A CONTINUANCE FROM THE LAST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING HELD ON MARCH 27TH.

I WAS THANKFUL YOU TABLED THE POLICY 3122, WHICH ALLOWED US PARENTS TO DO SOME FURTHER RESEARCH.

I'M A VETERAN AND A PRECINCT COMMITTEE OFFICER, SO LIKE ALL OF YOU, I ALSO TOOK AN OATH TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. AFTER THE NEW AGENDA WAS POSTED.

I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY LAWS SUPPORTING OUR CONCERNS FROM THE LAST MEETING, SO I SPENT SEVERAL HOURS LOOKING UP LAWS.

MANY ACTUALLY ARE PLACED THROUGHOUT THE POLICY, VERBATIM.

I ESPECIALLY I CAME ACROSS WAC [WHACK] 392401.020.

THIS WAC WAS COPIED VERBATIM AND PLACED INTO A SECTION OF OUR YOUR POLICY AND THAT SECTION COVERS ALL OF A AND B, BUT THEN ON THE TOP OF THE NEXT PAGE IT STATES THE DISTRICT MAY DEFINE ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES OR CRITERIA FOR EXCUSED ABSENCES, AND THAT RIGHT UNDERNEATH THERE, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE OUR CONCERN AS PARENTS BECAUSE IT STATES THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, SIGN THEMSELVES OUT DUE TO CERTAIN MEDICAL PROCEDURES OR NOT NECESSARILY PROCEDURES, BUT COUNSELING AND WHATNOT.

THIS TELLS ME YOU DID DECIDE TO ADD THIS PART.

SO I'M HOPING YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US SOME MORE CODES THAT WE CAN BE COMFORTABLE WITH.

I KNOW PART OF YOUR JOB WHEN DEALING WITH POLICY IS TO REVIEW, REVISE AND ADOPT POLICIES THAT ALIGN WITH THE COMMUNITY'S VALUES.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT'S NOT OUR COMMUNITY VALUE TO ALLOW A GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO UNDERMINE THE WISH OF THE PARENT WHO IS THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER FOR THAT CHILD FOR LIFE.

THE SCHOOL ONLY GETS THEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF THEIR LIFE.

IT'S THE PARENT WHO GUIDES THEM, MOLDS THEM AND TAKES CARE OF THEM FOR THE LIFE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM.

WE PLACE OUR CHILDREN IN YOUR CARE TO KEEP THEM SAFE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WILL BE ON SCHOOL CAMPUS DURING SCHOOL HOURS. HOW CAN YOU ENSURE THEIR SAFETY IF THEY ARE ALLOWING THEM TO LEAVE CAMPUS, POSSIBLY MAKING LIFE CHANGING OR THREATENING DECISIONS? I'D LIKE TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE.

A STUDENT GOES TO THE OFFICE, SIGNS THEMSELVES OUT FOR A PSYCHIATRIC APPOINTMENT, WHO WILL BE AND THEN LEAVES THE SCHOOL REALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE FEELING SUICIDAL? WHO WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT CHILD'S DEATH? OR IF THEY GET A RIDE FROM A FRIEND WHO THE PARENT NEVER ALLOWED TO PICK UP THEIR CHILD AND THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND THE CHILD BECOMES PERMANENTLY DISABLED, WHO WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THAT CHILD'S NEEDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE? ME, THE PARENT, NOT THE SCHOOL WHO CHOOSE TO KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO FINISH WITH WHAT I'M ASKING.

I ASK YOU TO AMEND THIS POLICY THAT HARMS THE CHILD INSTEAD OF PROTECTING.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU TO ADD THE WORDS TO THE PUBLIC AFTER THE WORD CONFIDENTIAL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. JENNIFER HINEY-WITHY.

GOOD EVENING, AND I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME THAT THIS POLICY REALLY DESERVES TO

[01:30:05]

SO I DO WANT TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE BOARD YOU TOOK AN OATH TO FOLLOW THE LAW, BUT WHAT IS THE LAW IN REGARDS TO HEALTH CARE FOR MINORS? WELL, WE SAW IN THE POLICY WHAT IT STATES ABOUT 14 YEAR OLDS CAN GET MEDICAL TREATMENTS FOR STDS AND HIV. MINORS, 13 AND OLDER, RECEIVE TESTING FOR HIV, STDS, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT, AND MINORS OF ANY AGE MAY GET AN ABORTION.

ALL OF THESE WITHOUT PARENTAL NOTIFICATION, AND THAT IS WRITTEN INTO OUR LAW.

SO IF A MINOR SEEKS THESE SERVICES OUT OF AN APPROPRIATE MEDICAL CLINIC OR FACILITY, THEY CAN'T BE TURNED AWAY.

DO THE PARENTS KNOW THIS OF OUR DISTRICT? I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A MEDICAL CLINIC HERE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SCHOOL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES THEY WILL EXCUSE STUDENTS FROM SCHOOL.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IN THE LAW DOES IT SPECIFY WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES A SCHOOL MUST ACCEPT AS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES IS UNACCEPTABLE? I'VE LOOKED THROUGH OUR CW CODES AND I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE WHERE IT STATES IN THE LAW, A SCHOOL MUST EXCUSE A STUDENT FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES THEY DON'T WANT PARENTS TO KNOW ABOUT.

THE POLICY THAT CAME DOWN FROM WSSDA.

THIS IS A MODEL POLICY, AND I KNOW THAT THE DISTRICT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ADOPT IT AS IT WAS WRITTEN.

YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHANGE THAT POLICY.

WHY IS THE WORDING ABOUT ABORTIONS, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, DRUG TREATMENT AND SUCH, WHY IS IT EVEN IN THE POLICY AND WHAT LAW IS KEEPING THE DISTRICT FROM ADOPTING A POLICY THAT STATES ALL EXCUSED ABSENCES MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY PARENTAL NOTIFICATION IF THE DISTRICT PUT THAT IN THEIR ABSENTEE POLICY.

DO WE REALLY THINK THAT OSPI IS GOING TO PULL FUNDING FROM THE SCHOOL? ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO KEEP THE CURRENT WORDING IN? WILL THE DISTRICT BE LETTING KIDS LEAVE CAMPUS IF THEY CLAIM THEY ARE GETTING TESTED FOR AN STD AND NOT TELL THE PARENTS? WILL SCHOOL COUNSELORS BE TAKING GIRLS TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD OR WILL THEY ALLOW A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL TO BE PICKED UP BY HER 19 YEAR OLD BOYFRIEND TO GET AN ABORTION? HOW WOULD THE SCHOOL EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY ARE? WHAT ABOUT THE DISTRICT'S PROMISE TO KEEP STUDENTS SAFE? WHAT IF A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL HAS COMPLICATIONS AND STARTS BLEEDING OUT IN SEVENTH PERIOD? THE DISTRICT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO KEEP STUDENTS SAFE FROM THE TIME THEY STEP ON THE BUS UNTIL THE TIME THAT THEY GET OFF.

THE ABSENTEE POLICY MUST REFLECT THIS OBLIGATION.

THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A HEALTH CLINIC, AND IT'S NOT IN THE DISTRICT'S BACKPACK TO ALLOW A STUDENT TO SEEK OUT SO-CALLED PROTECTIVE SERVICES DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE SUPERINTENDENT WATERS, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD A LISTING OF WHAT STUDENTS COULD WHAT MEDICAL PROCEDURES THEY COULD SEEK WITHOUT PARENTAL NOTIFICATION , AND I FOUND AN UPDATED ONE FOR YOU.

SO I FOUND ONE, TOO.

OH, YOU DID? [LAUGHTER] FROM 2022 I ACTUALLY FOUND LISTED.

THIS IS FOR MARCH 2019.

SO YOURS IS 2022.

THERE YOU GO. I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. SHANNA WALTERS.

ALL RIGHT.

THEN SHE LEFT.

GRETCHEN [INAUDIBLE].

CAN YOU GET CLOSER THIS TIME? YEAH. THANKS.

HI BOARD. GRETCHEN VERPOORTEN AND I'M A GRANDMA, A MOM HAVE A SON IN LAW WHO WORKS AT EVERGREEN SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I'M GOING TO JUST GIVE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE POLICY REVISION TO 3122 AND WHAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING.

I'M REALLY GLAD AND APPRECIATE THAT YOU TABLED IT AND ARE THINKING ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND ALL THE RAMIFICATIONS.

[01:35:09]

THAT PROJECT THAT THOSE BOYS MADE, THE ENGINEERING THING THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THAT IS GREAT STUFF.

THE ASB [INAUDIBLE], ALL OF YOU GUYS BEING INVOLVED, WE ARE HERE.

THE FIRST AND FOREMOST THING TO DO IS TO EDUCATE AND KEEP STUDENTS ENTRUSTED TO US BY THEIR PARENTS SAFE AND SECURE.

THAT'S WHAT RACHEL TALKED ABOUT.

WHAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING ON HER DEAL? EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A 1%? IT WAS SAFETY, SECURITY AND TRANSPARENCY.

TRANSPARENCY. YOU CAN, AND THEN EDUCATION WAS UP THERE, RIGHT? WELL, YOU CAN'T EDUCATE IF THEY'RE NOT SAFE, AND THE PARENTS ENTRUST YOUR STUDENT OUR STUDENTS ARE CHILDREN TO YOU GUYS FOR SIX HOURS OR WHATEVER. LIKE JENNIFER SAID, FROM THE TIME THEY STEP UP ONTO THAT BUS TILL THE TIME THEY GET OFF, THEY ARE TRUSTING YOU TO KEEP THEM SAFE AND YOU'RE GOING TO LET THEM HAVE AN EXCUSED, UNEXCUSED ABSENCE WITHOUT THE PARENTS NOTICE.

HEY, I'M A PARENT AND GRANDPARENT.

DON'T STEP ON MY KIDS OR MY GRANDKIDS OR ANYONE ELSE'S.

JUST STOP IT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND HOW YOU'RE ENTRUSTED WITH THEM.

JUST LIKE AS A NURSE, I WAS ENTRUSTED WITH SOMEONE WHO CAME IN MY CARE, AND IF I HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING, YOU'VE GOT TO GET OVER HERE, YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN.

YOU'VE GOT BREATH IN YOU, YOU'VE GOT PURPOSE.

KEEP OUR STUDENTS WHO WE ENTRUSTED TO YOU SAFE, OKAY? SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN EDUCATE THEM.

THEY'RE DOING GOOD THINGS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

TOM REAGAN.

HOWDY. MY NAME IS TOM REAGAN.

I'M A TAXPAYER.

FIRST CLASS.

I JUST FIRED OFF A CHECK TODAY FOR $8,700.

MY FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN HERE.

I JUST WANTED TO I NOTICED ON YOUR STRATEGIES 360 NOT ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE ACADEMICS.

I'M HERE TO FILL IN THAT PORTION OF THAT REPORT FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN AN EMPLOYER IN THIS AREA SINCE 1987.

HERE'S MY REPORT. OKAY, I HAD A SECRETARY THAT SHE WENT TO HER DAUGHTER, WENT TO PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE SAID, I'M SO PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER.

NOW I REALIZE THIS IS BRUSH PRAIRIE IT'S NOT BATTLE GROUND.

SHE SAID, SHE'S AN HONOR STUDENT.

I SAID, IT'S WONDERFUL.

SHE GOES TO COLLEGE THAT FALL.

SHE HAS TO GO TO REMEDIAL MATH, REMEDIAL ENGLISH, REMEDIAL EVERYTHING.

I SENT MY OWN SON TO BRUSH PRAIRIE FOR SIX WEEKS.

HE WAS BEING TAUGHT SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC FOR SCIENCE CLASS.

HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BRING HIS TEXTBOOKS HOME.

I SAID, WHY NOT? BECAUSE THE KIDS DON'T RETURN THE TEXTBOOKS.

THAT'S WHY.

HE SAYS, ALL THE KIDS DO, OR THEY TEXT EACH OTHER BACK AND FORTH.

THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE TEACHER.

DENNIS THIS IS IMPORTANT, AND I HAD TO PAY EXTRA FOR THREE YEARS.

I HAD TO PAY EXTRA.

I HAD TO SEND HIM TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL.

I RESENT THAT, AND I KNOW I'M NOT NECESSARILY BLAMING ALL OF YOU.

THIS IS CLEARLY THE PARENTS FAULT AND THE STUDENTS FAULT, BUT YOUR EDUCATORS ARE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE.

HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

I WENT TO WENDY'S ABOUT A YEAR AGO, GOT A BURGER.

BILL CAME TO $8.88.

OKAY, COMPUTER WAS DOWN.

I GAVE THE KID A 20 HE COULD NOT DO THE MATH.

HE TALKED TO HIS BUDDY DOING THE FRENCH FRIES.

HE COULDN'T DO THE MATH.

THEY CALLED IN THE HEAVY HITTER, THE MANAGER.

SHE COULDN'T DO THE MATH.

I HAD TO TELL THEM THE CHANGE IS $11.12.

I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM $37 AND THEY WOULD HAVE FORKED IT OVER.

THEY DON'T HAVE AN EDUCATION.

I WAS IN A TRUCK ONE DAY WITH AN EMPLOYEE, THE KID SAYS.

OUT OF THE BLUE, HE SAYS, TOM, WHAT WAS THE CIVIL WAR? I SAID, WHAT? HE SAID, WHAT WAS THE CIVIL WAR? AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

FRANKLY HE HAD NO EDUCATION.

NOW HE WAS A DROPOUT, BUT HE WASN'T STUPID.

HE JUST DIDN'T HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO GET HIS EDUCATION.

LATER ON, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I'M WRITING WITH HIM, HE TELLS ME, WHO WON AT PEARL HARBOR.

I'M SERIOUS, HE SAID.

WHO WON A PEARL HARBOR? I SAID, THE NAZIS DID.

[LAUGHTER] YOU KNOW, THIS IS SO CRAZY.

OKAY, RIGHT HERE.

JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, ACE HARDWARE, I HAD TO EXCHANGE, SOMETHING, AND THE GIRL, SHE WAS REALLY YOUNG.

SHE HAD TO GIVE ME BACK $1.09.

[01:40:02]

SHE SAYS I WANTED THE TEN THE DIME.

SHE SAYS, I CAN'T DO THAT.

AND I'M JUST MAKING AN APPEAL.

YOU KNOW, WEIGHT ROOMS ARE FINE, AND TED, I'M SORRY, BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT TO DO, BUT YOU GOT TO KICK THEM IN THE REAR END TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT EVEN QUALIFIED FOR MCDONALD'S, AND THAT'S TERRIBLE.

OKAY, I'M ALMOST DONE HERE ANYWAY, SO.

OKAY, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

THANKS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BYE. THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL THE NAMES I HAVE ON MY LIST.

WAS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SIGN UP WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD NOW? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE APPROVAL OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU, CITIZENS, FOR COMING FORWARD.

WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY AS A BOARD.

SO I KNOW WE ALL VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT.

WITH OUR APPROVAL OF OUR CONSENT AGENDA ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA, WE HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM OUR MARCH 27TH SPECIAL

[8. Consent Agenda (Board Vote w/Student Voice)]

THERE'S AN APPROVAL OF A DONATION BY THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FROM THE PATRICK [INAUDIBLE] ENDOWMENT FUND AND THEN THE MAXIME HEALTH CARE STAFFING CONTRACT FOR DISTRICT PARA-EDUCATORS.

IS THERE ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REMOVED? WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS FURTHER, HAVE COMMENTS? IT MIGHT BE WORTH NOTING THE VOLUME OF THE FUND AT $99,000 OR YEAH, 99,000.

THE PATRICK YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANY HISTORY OR INFORMATION.

ONE THE BIGGER NUMBERS THAT'S GENERATED.

YEAH. MARK SAID HE HAS HISTORY WORKING WITH THE FOUNDATION.

STUDENTS WAS THERE ANYTHING ON THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT YOU NOTICED? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD ONCE AGAIN JUST FOR HAVING MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS TO BE BACK.

I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK THIS SEASON, SO THANK YOU.

YEAH, THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING.

THAT'S A TOUGH ONE FOR US BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE TRACKS.

SO WE'RE WE'RE PRACTICING ON MAKESHIFT, YOU KNOW, FACILITIES.

WE'RE ABLE TO ACCESS THE TRACKS AT PRAIRIE AND BATTLE GROUND FOR MEETS AND SUCH, BUT WHEN THEY'RE PRACTICING AT LAUREN OR THEY'RE PRACTICING AT TWOK, SO THEY'RE PRACTICING AT AT CHIEF.

THEY'RE JUST MAKING DO, BUT I'M HEARING THE SAME GREAT THINGS.

SO THANKS FOR SAYING SOMETHING.

YEAH. SPEAKING OF LIKE TRACK, I CAN SEE ON THE STUDENT TRAVEL THAT A LOT OF THE PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOLS SPORTS TEAMS ARE MAKING IT TO STATE AND THEIR TRAVEL IS BEING APPROVED THERE.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THEM.

THERE'S LIKE BASEBALL TRACK GOLF TRACK AGAIN, FAST PITCH.

SO IT'S VERY COOL.

ADVISORY VOTE FOR THE BOARD.

PRO CON. PRO PRO.

WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I RECOMMEND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0.

AND TO TED'S POINT, JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK THE HEALTH ENDOWMENT FUND FOR THAT GIFT OF $99,917.

THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE] WITH OUR AMENDED AGENDA, WE WILL MOVE ON TO NEW

[10. New Business (Board Vote w/Student Voice)]

I KNOW AFTER PRESENTING LAST TIME REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF CHROMEBOOKS, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ENGAGING THINGS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES PERIODICALLY. THE PURCHASE IN FRONT OF YOU IS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CHROMEBOOKS THAT WE ANNUALLY ARE PURCHASING ROUGHLY

[01:45:02]

THESE REPLACE OUTDATED CHROMEBOOKS.

THESE WILL SUPPLY THE NEXT YEAR'S 1 TO 1 WE'LL CONTINUE TO REPLACE OBSOLETE CHROMEBOOKS, AND WE'VE JUST HAD A VERY LARGE DEMAND FOR NEW CHROMEBOOKS BECAUSE OF ENROLLMENT AT THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.

SO THEY KEEP RUNNING OUT OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE.

SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? AND SCOTT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS PURCHASE IS BEING FUNDED BY YOUR BUDGET, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. THIS IS OUT OF MY BUDGET.

IS THAT IS THAT LEVY OR IS THAT.

IT'S A MIX? I BELIEVE IT'S A MIX.

IT'S A MIX. YEAH.

THERE'S THE CHROMEBOOK PEOPLE.

DO THEY GIVE YOU ANY CREDIT FOR THE ONES THAT GET TURNED IN? DO THEY HAVE ANY VALUE AT ALL? THEY HAVE PRETTY MINIMAL VALUE.

THE UNITS THAT WE PULL OUT OF SERVICE SOMETIMES THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN ACTUALLY BUYING THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE ABLE TO REPURPOSE THEM FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS, AND SOMETIMES COMPANIES ARE JUST WILLING TO BUY THEM FOR THE METALS.

SO LAST YEAR IT WAS JUST FOR THE METALS.

THEY HAD A MASSIVE INFLUX OF THE MODEL THAT WE PULLED OUT OF SERVICE, WHICH WAS THE HPG4.

SO. YEP.

CONSIDERING THAT WE GET EIGHT YEARS OF LIFE OUT OF THESE DEVICES, WHICH IS IT'S VERY SURPRISING AND ACTUALLY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES THEM A SOLUTION THAT FITS OUR BUDGET.

AND EACH MODEL COSTS? YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS. IT FLUCTUATES WILDLY DEPENDING ON THE MARKET.

WE WERE HITTING MID $300S.

OKAY, WHEN THE PANDEMIC WAS WAS REALLY HITTING HARD.

SUPPLIES WERE ESPECIALLY HARD HIT.

COMPANIES HAVE CAUGHT UP.

SUPPLY CHAIN HAS CAUGHT UP ON CONSUMER LEVEL ELECTRONICS, AND I BELIEVE WE'RE IN THE LOW $200S ON THE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF YOU.

YEAH. SO I WAS JUST I WAS TRYING TO DO THE MATH.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE PAYING LOW $200S AND YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT VALUE ANNUALLY, $30 BUCKS, $30 BUCKS A YEAR, ALMOST $35 BUCKS A YEAR.

THANK YOU.

WHAT'S THE TURNAROUND TIME ON THESE? THAT ALSO DEPENDS.

I THINK WE'RE SEEING ROUGHLY A MONTH ON THESE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE SOME TEMP STAFFING THAT'S READY WHEN WE GET THEM.

THERE'S A PROCESS FOR ADDING THEM TO OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND FOR GOING THROUGH A PROCESS KNOWN AS ENROLLMENT.

ENROLLMENT IS WHAT ALLOWS FOR WHAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THAT ABILITY FOR GOOGLE TO ASSOCIATE THAT DEVICE WITH OUR ACCOUNT AND THEN PUT THE CONTROLS AND LIMITS IN PLACE THAT WE IMPLEMENT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

IT'S NOT THE MOST ENGAGING WORK.

SO. THANK YOU.

THEY'LL BE READY BY SEPTEMBER.

THEY WILL BE. THEY WILL BE READY BY SEPTEMBER.

THEY ALWAYS ARE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I MOVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE DELL, CHROMEBOOKS AND LICENSES.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE CHROMEBOOKS AND LICENSES, PLEASE SAY AYE, AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SCOTT.

NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS THE MINT FIELD PROPERTY, MR. JOLMA. GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

SO FOR A LITTLE BACKGROUND IN HISTORY, I KNOW WE HAVE A NEW BOARD MEMBER WHO HASN'T BEEN PART OF THIS.

I APPRECIATE IT. YOU BET.

SO THIS IS A 50 ACRE PARCEL THAT THE DISTRICT BOUGHT BACK IN THE 90S WITH ANTICIPATION OF GROWTH IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS SEWER COMING TO THAT AREA.

SEWER IS STILL 14,000FT AWAY, WHICH IS TAKE ME ABOUT 4 MILLION TO RUN THAT DISTANCE.

AT LEAST WE HAVE ANOTHER POTENTIAL CONNECTION 4,100FT AWAY THAT THE METAL GLADE SYSTEM HAS REFUSED US, DENIED US

[01:50:01]

SO THAT SYSTEM IS FULL AND I HAVE SWORE I WILL NOT DO ANOTHER LARGE ON SITE SEPTIC SYSTEM FOR ANY SCHOOLS.

THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.

SO WE'VE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AND A HALF NOW ABOUT GETTING RID OF THIS PROJECT.

WE STARTED AT THIS PROPERTY.

WE STARTED OUT NEGOTIATING WITH THE CHURCH ON THE ROCK, WHICH IS NEXT DOOR TO OUR MAPLE GROVE PROPERTY.

THEY CAME FORWARD TO US WITH A POTENTIAL OF [INAUDIBLE] THEY WANTED TO EXPAND, AND THE PROPERTY THEY WERE ON WASN'T LARGE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DO THAT HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES.

LED TO LED TO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TRADING SWAPPING OURS WAS APPRAISED AT $1.1 MILLION THEIRS WAS APPRAISED AT $2.4. SO THEY WOULD HAVE WE TRIED FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS TO TIE THOSE TWO TOGETHER AS ONE PROPOSAL, BUT WITH ALL THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE AS A LEGAL ENTITY DEALING WITH ESPECIALLY A CHURCH AND THE CHURCH WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COULD HAVE SERVICES AT ANY TIME, SAY IF ANOTHER IF WE WERE TO BUY THAT OUTRIGHT AND LEASE THEM TO IT, LEASE IT TO THEM, THEY MIGHT BE RESTRICTED UNDER THE SAME RULES AS OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET.

ET CETERA. THAT WAS A BIG DEAL DURING THE DURING THE COVID CHURCHES BEING UNABLE TO MEET.

SO WE PROGRESSED AND WE PROGRESSED, AND BETWEEN ALL OF OUR LAWYERS, WHICH WERE THERE MANY, WE DETERMINED IT WAS BEST TO JUST FULLY DECOUPLE, DECOUPLE THE TWO DEALS, SELL THE PROPERTY OUTRIGHT AT OUR APPRAISED VALUE, AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THEY WERE READY TO MOVE OVER, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BUY THEIRS AT THE APPRAISED VALUE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S THE BACKGROUND.

ANOTHER ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PROPERTY IS IT'S DESIGNATED AG 20, WHICH MEANS THE MAJORITY OF THE KIDS MUST COME FROM OUTSIDE THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY.

WHERE IT'S LOCATED EVERYBODY THAT WE WOULD BE PUTTING THERE ALMOST WOULD BE FROM INSIDE THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY, AND THAT WOULD BE A POTENTIAL CONDITION FOR NOT BEING APPROVED.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW WETLANDS.

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK.

AGAIN, CHURCHES, CHURCHES, SEPTIC DESIGN IS DIFFERENT THAN THAN OURS AND THEY HAVE MORE OF A REST, PERIOD.

THEY DON'T IT'S NOT BUSY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

IT'S BUSY GENERALLY ONE DAY A WEEK AND HAS REST TIME.

SO FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, WE WE HOPE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

I'VE PUT MY NOTICES IN THE NEWSPAPER ON MARCH 24TH, AS WELL AS MARCH 31ST.

SO IF WE DECIDE TO SURPLUS THIS, WHICH IS THE NEXT STEP THAT'S TONIGHT, THERE'S A RESOLUTION TO SURPLUS THE PROPERTY THAT AFTER THAT I WILL PUT ANOTHER NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPER, A SECOND NOTICE LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THERE'S 45 DAYS FOR COMMENT ON THAT.

I HAVE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS ON THE 24TH AND 31ST PUBLICATIONS, BUT WE COULD RECEIVE SOME OVER THE 45 DAYS.

SO THAT'S A IT'S A LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR US.

SO IF WE APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION TONIGHT, MY NEXT STEP IS TO GET IN, GET A SECOND NOTICE INTO THE COLOMBIAN ASAP AND BE ABLE TO CLOSE THIS WITHIN 45 DAYS.

KEVIN JUST TO CLARIFY FOR ME THE SURPLUS THAT WE'RE VOTING TONIGHT ON THE SURPLUS OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE PURCHASE OF IT AND WOULD THE PURCHASE, THE SALE, THE SALE OF IT, EXCUSE ME, AND THEN WHEN WE VOTE, WHEN WE VOTE ON THE SALE AT THAT POINT, OR.

THAT'S ALL THAT'S ALL IN HERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT'S A RESOLUTION AS PART OF THIS.

SO I THINK WHAT TED'S JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY IS YOU'RE.

YES, THANK YOU. QUITE, QUITE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS.

NOT ONLY ARE WE SURPLUS, WE'RE AGREEING TO SELL.

THANK YOU. THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT IS THERE THAT WE'VE WORKED ON FOR A LONG TIME.

THANK YOU. SO STEP ONE SURPLUS AND STEP TWO AGREE TO THE PSA PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT NOTIFICATIONS TO THE NEWSPAPERS 45 DAY AND THEN WE'LL GET OUR CASH.

THEY'LL START THEIR PERMIT PROCESS.

WELL IT'LL CLOSE AFTER THAT.

SO AND WE HAVE A CONTINGENCY PERIOD OF 120 DAYS THAT ARE BUILT IN THERE AS WELL AS THE ABILITY FOR THREE TIMES TO EXTEND. SO TOTAL 200 DAY POTENTIAL, WHICH IS A SEVEN MONTH FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THEM.

THANK YOU. SO AND THAT MONEY WILL COME AT THE END OF THEIR FEASIBILITY PERIOD, NOT AT THE 45 DAYS WE CAN CLOSE, WHICH WILL START THE FEASIBILITY STUDY PERIOD.

SO I'M JUST CLARIFYING AGAIN, WHEN WE VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION, WE'RE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTION AND THE SALE.

YES. THE PSA, WHICH DESIGNATES MR.

[01:55:02]

GROWTH DIDN'T OCCUR WHERE THEY THOUGHT AND THE SEWER NEVER CAME.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST LIKE TO COMMENT THAT I'LL BE RECUSING MYSELF FROM THIS VOTE, ALL FULL TRANSPARENCY WHILE I'M NOT A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF THE ROCKS BOARD OR AN ELDER OF ANY SORT, I AM AN ATTENDING MEMBER.

NOT AS OFTEN AS BRAD WOULD LIKE.

I SEE HIM STARING AT ME DOWN THERE, BUT JUST AVOID ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

I'LL RECUSE MYSELF FROM THE VOTE.

OKAY, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER C-23 ON THE MINT FIELDS PROPERTY.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE RESOLUTION C-23.

STUDENTS. DO YOU HAVE AN ADVISORY VOTE FOR THE BOARD? PRO, PRO.

BOARD MEMBERS ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 4 TO 0.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, KEVIN.

GOOD WORK. THAT CONCLUDES OUR NEW BUSINESS BRINGS US TO

[11. Future Agenda Items and Board Events]

WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE UPCOMING BOARD TOUR THIS FRIDAY, AND THEN THERE'S THE BOOSTER AUCTION COMING UP ON THE 22ND, AND THEN AS NOTED EARLIER, THE WORK SESSION AND BOARD MEETING ON THE 24TH.

I BELIEVE THERE'S A CAC MEETING THIS THURSDAY NIGHT AS WELL.

THIS THURSDAY AT BATTLE GROUND LIBRARY FROM 5:30 TO 7, AND WE'LL BE DISCUSSING WE'LL BE GETTING WE'LL BE PRESENTING THE STRATEGIES 360 INFORMATION TO THE CAC AND GETTING THEIR FINAL THEIR FINAL DECISION ON THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD AROUND THE POTENTIAL OF A BOND.

IT'LL BE A LIVELY MEETING A LOT OF INFORMATION IN AN HOUR AND A HALF.

[INAUDIBLE] SHARED THE WIND ENSEMBLE COMING UP.

YES, I ALSO FORGOT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO GO TO LIONEL HAMPTON THIS YEAR.

OKAY, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT'S COMING UP REALLY SOON.

LIKE 11 DAYS. VERY COOL.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO GO TO KANSAS CITY.

YEAH, THAT'S ALSO COMING UP, TOO.

THOSE ARE BIG ONES. BOTH OF THOSE.

CONGRATS. ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER, AND WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 7:58.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU.
