[6. Board Updates]

IT WAS HELD JUNE 3RD. I HAVE THE WEBSITE. THIS IS THE WEBSITE HERE.

IF THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE IT'S, IT'S A NUMBER OF PAGES, VERY THICK.

ALL OF THE ACTIVITY AND THE STATEMENT OF INQUIRY THAT THEY WORKED ON.

THERE HAVE BEEN, THEY ARE PROPOSING AND MAYBE I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'VE ACTUALLY MADE THE CHANGES TO THE WAC, WHICH IS THE WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. BUT THE FOCUS WAS 392, WHICH IS THE WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 392.

AND THEY HAD A BUNCH OF PROPOSALS THAT THEY WANTED TO PUT FORTH FOR SCHOOLS THERE. JUST A COUPLE THAT I WAS GOING TO MENTION THE FIRST ONE HAD TO DO WITH DEFINITION, OF COURSE STUDY AND CLARIFICATION COURSE OF STUDY THAT THEY WANT THAT TO BE PROVIDED AND SUPERVISED BY A CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR.

THAT WAS ONE THING THAT THEY'VE BEEN MOVING FORWARD.

AND THEN ALSO BETTER FISCAL OVERSIGHT OF MANAGEMENT OF STATE OPERATING BUDGET.

THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE. THERE IS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE IN THIS FILE, BUT THEY ARE USING EMERGENCY RULES. IT SEEMS I SEE A LOT OF THESE THAT HAVE EMERGENCY RULES.

THEY'RE ALIGNING THEM WITH SENATE HOUSE BILL LIKE 1550.

THEY'RE ALIGNING THINGS WITH OTHER TYPES LIKE 1228 I SEE IN HERE.

1658. THERE'S A LOT OF BILLS THAT THEY'RE ALIGNING.

THEY HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF PUBLIC HEARINGS. THIS IS THE FIRST I'D HEARD ABOUT IT.

I'M NOT ON OSPI WEBSITE. PROBABLY MORE. I PROBABLY NEED TO BE ON IT MORE, BUT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS.

IF THEY ARE INTERESTED IN WHERE YOUR DOLLARS ARE GOING AND HOW THE LEGISLATOR LEGISLATORS ARE SPENDING THEM.

THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO GO TO SEE WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'RE DOING AND HOW THEY'RE CHANGING.

A LOT OF THE PRESENT RULES THAT THEY HAVE. SO THAT WAS THE ONE THING I HAD.

AND THEN THINK THAT MIGHT BE EVERYTHING FOR ME.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY KIND OF A MEETING OR ANYTHING THIS WEEK, BUT I THINK THERE IS A ADVOCACY MEETING THAT'S COMING NEXT WEEK, WHICH I'M GOING TO BE ON.

THAT'S WHERE THEY ENCOURAGE LEDGE REPS TO GO TO WASHINGTON DC AND HAVE MEETINGS WITH OUR NATIONAL LEGISLATORS. I THINK I'D BE PATTY MURRAY AND CAN THINK OF THE OTHER WOMAN, SO.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FOR A WEEK? DOES SHE KNOW.

WASHINGTON, D.C.? NO, I DON'T WANT TO GO, BUT I DEFINITELY GET INVOLVED WITH WHATEVER THE ADVOCACY IS AND TRY TO HELP AND GIVE SUPPORT.

AND THEN THEY HAVE USUALLY, I THINK 2 OR 3 REPRESENTATIVES USUALLY GO AND REPRESENT WASDA FOR,

[00:10:07]

BUT I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR THIS WEEK FOR ME, FOR LEGISLATIVE.

CAN I JUST JUMP ON TO THE DEBBIE'S INPUT ABOUT RULE MAKING? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THE PROCESS.

SO WHEN A SENATE OR A HOUSE BILL IS PASSED, THEY EITHER SEND IT TO THE, THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION OR OSPI TO DO THE RULE MAKING PORTION. THIS IS THE RULEMAKING PORTION.

AND SO FOR EACH ONE OF THESE LINKS, WHEN YOU GO TO THEM, THERE IS A WAY TO PROVIDE INPUT OR TESTIMONY ON SOME OF THOSE ITEMS. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, RIGHT, DEBBIE? IS THAT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF INTEREST ON THIS LIST, THIS IS PART OF THEIR NORMAL PROCESS EACH YEAR.

AND THAT'S HOW TO ENGAGE IN THE PROCESS IS TO GO SPECIFICALLY TO ONE THAT ALIGNS WITH ONE OF THE BILLS THAT PASSED AND, AND GET PROVIDE TESTIMONY AT THOSE TIME FRAMES THAT ALLOW FOR IT, SO.

I AM SEEING ON HERE THAT TUESDAY, JULY 21ST, IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION OR A THOUGHT, THEY ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICE ACCOUNTING MANUALS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO REGISTER, YOU CAN GO ONLINE HERE AND THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SIGN UP FOR THE ZOOM AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF THAT.

IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ONE THEY'RE HOLDING FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WOULD BE AUGUST.

OH, THAT'S ALREADY GONE. SO SORRY. LAST YEAR.

YEAH. THE REST A LOT OF THESE ARE FROM LAST YEAR.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ONE FOR EQUAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY AND NONDISCRIMINATION.

JUNE 18TH AT 5. COMING UP. SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH, I THINK THAT WAS THE NEAREST ONE THAT I SAW.

YEAH. SO JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE SO THAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE AND HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

AT THE HIGHER LEVELS THAN JUST THE BOARD. THANKS.

AUDIT COMMITTEE. YEAH, SINCE WE MET LAST TIME ON.

LET'S SEE 5/27 WE MET AGAIN WITH THE STATE AUDITORS AND TO CLOSE OUT THE AUDIT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO THE THINGS THAT WERE COVERED IN THAT MEETING, THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE AUDIT, INCLUDING CASH. THE AUDITORS HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW CASH RECEIPTS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SOFTWARE CONVERSION, WHICH WAS A BIG WIN THIS PAST YEAR. THE USE OF RESTRICTED FUNDS, OUR COMPLIANCE WITH BEING WITH THE COMPLIANCE WITH SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACTS, OUR SELF-INSURANCE OR UNEMPLOYMENT OUR OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT COMPLIANCE AND SOME FINANCIAL AND OUR FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.

WE CAME OUT WITH A CLEAN AUDIT AGAIN. SO MICHELLE, SHERRY, CINDY, EVERYBODY WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THAT TEAM REALLY SHOULD BE QUITE PROUD OF THE WAY THEY'RE HANDLING BUSINESS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE OPEN AND THAT WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR ALL OF THOSE SYSTEMS. SO THEY DESERVE A BIG SHOUT OUT. AND THEY ADVOCATED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE REPRESENTED APPROPRIATELY.

THEY ALSO HAD TO REVIEW IN DEPTH THE SPECIAL ED PROGRAMS. AND I'M SURE MICHELLE WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE, BUT THAT WAS A BIG PART OF THE AUDIT THIS YEAR.

HOW MANY YEARS IN A ROW IS A CLEAN AUDIT? 15.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BGEF. NO NEW NEWS. STILL LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO SIGN UP TO BE THE HARVEST DAYS RUN OR WALK GRAB A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND COME OUT AND DO THAT.

I THINK IT'S JULY 18TH. AND ANYWAYS, DURING THE HARVEST DAYS, SATURDAY MORNING OF THAT WEEKEND.

SO JUST WORKING ON PREPPING FOR THAT. VERY GOOD.

YES. WIAA WE'RE MEETING THIS THURSDAY, SO THERE'S NO REPORT RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S THE END OF COMMITTEE REPORTS. ANYTHING ELSE? ANOTHER COMMITTEE I'M MISSING? SO DIRECTORS UPDATES AND DISCUSSIONS.

DIRECTOR UPDATES AND DISCUSSIONS. WE HAVE HAD.

WELL I CAN I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF US.

WE HAVE HAD A FABULOUS TIME AT THE GRADUATION.

SO WHAT A AMAZING THING TO WATCH OUR SENIORS WALK ACROSS THE STAGE.

AND SO FAR WE'VE DONE BATTLE GROUND, PRAIRIE AND RIVER HOMELINK.

TONIGHT WE HAVE CAM AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SUMMIT VIEW AND BGVA THIS WEEK, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE.

LAST WEEK MY WIFE AND I WENT TO A. GOT AN INVITATION FROM EUNICE,.

SHE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT. SHE'S ALWAYS HERE. SHE JUST WALKED IN.

DID YOU WALK? SHE JUST WALKED. THERE YOU ARE. THANKS FOR THE INVITATION TO THE MEETING.

SO EUNICE INVITED US TO GO TO A TRAINING FOR, I THINK YOU WOULD CALL.

[00:15:03]

I DIDN'T BRING MY LAPTOP. OKAY, SO THE NAME OF THE TRAINING THAT I WENT TO WAS.

THAT WAS MAKING SAFE SPACES. MAKING SAFE SPACES.

THERE YOU GO. FOR/TO/AS LGBTQIA PLUS YOUTH COMMUNITY TRAINING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INVITING US. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PROGRAM.

EUNICE IS APPARENTLY SITTING IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THAT COMMITTEE AND THAT PROGRAM.

AND SHE WAS SERVING. YES YOU WERE OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

AND IT WAS REALLY VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD. VERY ANYBODY WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT, I THINK ANY OTHER.

I WENT TO THE LAUREN ART SHOW. I WENT TO THE 8TH GRADE, BUT GOT THERE EARLY AND WAS ABLE TO SEE 5TH GRADE WORK.

VERY WE HAVE SOME VERY TALENTED STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOL ALL TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS.

THE STUDENTS GAVE EXPLANATIONS OF THEIR WORK.

AND THEN IT WAS JUST REALLY HEARTWARMING TO SEE THEIR COLLEAGUES, THEIR PEERS GIVE FEEDBACK.

EVERYONE WAS VERY KIND. THERE WAS A LOT OF COMPASSION.

THERE WAS A FEW OF THE STUDENTS THAT HAD BEEN STRUGGLING TO GET UP IN FRONT OF OTHERS AND WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH IT.

AND ALSO JUST A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS. KUDOS OUT TO TEACHER BACHMAN.

FANTASTIC. SHE'S DEFINITELY A GEM. I THINK AS FAR AS IN THIS IN THIS AREA.

AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY SHE RAN HER CLASS, THE WAY THAT SHE MANAGED THE CLASS, AND JUST THE RESPECT THAT WAS IN THE ROOM FOR HER AND FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS WAS REALLY, REALLY HEARTWARMING.

AND. I THINK THAT WAS ALL THAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

YEP. THAT'S IT? THAT IS IT. WE'LL MOVE ON THEN.

PUBLIC COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JESSICA COLE.

[7. Agenda Item Public Comments]

LET ME READ THE THING. THIS IS A MEETING OF THE BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND, VIEW PRESENTATIONS AND HEAR BOARD MEMBERS DISCUSS TOPICS DURING OPEN SESSIONS.

THE BOARD WELCOMES PUBLIC COMMENTS AND ASK THAT THOSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD SIGN IN ON THE SIGN IN SHEET PROVIDED NEAR THE ENTRANCE.

DURING THE AGENDA ITEMS ONLY PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION, THE BOARD WILL HEAR COMMENTS RELATED TO AN ITEM LISTED ON THE MEETING AGENDA.

PLEASE INDICATE ON THE SIGN IN SHEET WHICH AGENDA ITEM YOUR COMMENT PERTAINS TO.

ALL OTHER COMMENTS CAN BE HEARD DURING THE OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION.

WHAT WE'VE DECIDED TO DO IS IF THERE'S LESS THAN TEN ALTOGETHER, WE JUST PUT THEM ALL INTO THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE PUBLIC COMMENTS PROCEDURES BY STATING YOUR NAME AND ENSURING THAT YOUR SPOKEN COMMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR FAMILY AUDIENCE.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, COMMENTS MAY NOT PROMOTE OR OPPOSE ANY VALID OPPOSITION, PROPOSITION.

SPEAKERS SHOULD REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSING PERSONAL OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL MATTERS, INCLUDING STUDENT OR STAFF NAMES. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM APPLAUSE CHEERING OR OTHER OUTBURSTS TO ENSURE AN ORDERLY FLOW OF BUSINESS AND TO ALLOW ALL SPEAKERS TO BE HEARD.

PUBLIC COMMENT SECTIONS ARE LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES PER SECTION.

TIME ALLOTTED PER SPEAKER WILL BE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SIGNUPS RECEIVED.

WE HAVE TWO TONIGHT. ANY COMMENTS THAT CANNOT ADHERE TO THESE PUBLIC COMMENT RULES, OR ANY PRINTED MATERIAL FOR BOARD MEMBERS CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD SECRETARY CARLA.

BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT TYPICALLY RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR PETITIONS DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THEY WILL LISTEN AND GIVE DIRECTIONS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IF ACTION IS DEEMED NECESSARY.

SO, JESSICA, YOU'RE UP FIRST, PLEASE. AND THEN, EUNICE, YOU'LL BE FOLLOWING.

HELLO, BOARD, I'M JESSICA COLE. I'VE SPOKEN AND WRITTEN TO THE BOARD MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THE CHANGES TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

AND I WANT TO RAISE THE ISSUE AGAIN BECAUSE I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THE CURRENT SYSTEM MAKES PARTICIPATION MORE DIFFICULT, NOT MORE ACCESSIBLE. THE BOARD CREATED THIS NEW STRUCTURE WITHOUT SEEKING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK BEFOREHAND, AND DESPITE REPEATED CONCERNS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN PLACE.

I HAVE YET TO HEAR A CLEAR EXPLANATION FOR WHY UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC COMMENT WAS MOVED TO LATER IN THE MEETING, OR HOW THE BOARD WAS, HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS HAS CHANGED, HOW THIS CHANGE IS HELPING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

[00:20:02]

PARENTS, WORKERS, CAREGIVERS, STUDENTS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OFTEN HAVE LIMITED TIME AND LIMITED FLEXIBILITY.

WHEN UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC COMMENT IS PUSHED TO THE END OF THE MEETING, PARTICIPATION BECOMES LESS ACCESSIBLE.

AT THE LAST MEETING, A PERSON WHO HAD SIGNED UP FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD LEFT BEFORE COMMENTS WERE TAKEN BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY A FEW SPEAKERS.

THE COMMENT PERIOD WAS EVENTUALLY COMBINED AND HELD EARLY IN THE MEETING, LIKE TONIGHT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT PERSON WOULD HAVE STAYED AND HAD THEY KNOWN THEY COULD SPEAK SOONER.

BUT IT DEMONSTRATED A PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT STRUCTURE.

THE BOARD CANNOT HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE UNABLE TO WAIT HOURS FOR JUST THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION IS RETURNED TO A SINGLE, UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC COMMENT TIME AT THE PERIOD CONSISTENT, LIKE HOW WE'VE HAD BEFORE. EARLY IN THE AGENDA.

IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO KEEP MULTIPLE COMMENT PERIODS, THEN THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST AN UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK, HAS THE BOARD COLLECTED ANY DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION SHOWING THAT THESE CHANGES HAVE INCREASED PARTICIPATION OR IMPROVED PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT? IF SO, I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING THAT INFORMATION.

IF NOT, I'D ASK THE BOARD TO RECONSIDER WHETHER THIS CHANGE IS ACCOMPLISHING ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.

PUBLIC COMMENT IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY WAYS COMMUNITY MEMBERS ENGAGE WITH THEIR ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

THE BOARD SHOULD BE MAKING THAT PARTICIPATION EASIER, NOT HARDER.

THANK YOU. EUNICE INGERMANSON. SORRY, THAT WAS JESSICA COLE.

AND EUNICE INGERMANSON.

HELLO, BOARD. MY NAME IS EUNICE INGERMANSON. MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE HER, AND I'M A MOTHER AND A GRANDMOTHER WANTING TO HAND OFF A KINDER AND BETTER BATTLE GROUND TO POSTERITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY REFLECTIONS ON LGBTQ PRIDE, AS MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, ARE CELEBRATING JUNE AS PRIDE MONTH. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK PRIDE AS ONE OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, OR AT LEAST AS THAT WHICH GOETH BEFORE THE FALL, I WANT TO REST YOUR MIND BY LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE WORD PRIDE, AS IN GAY PRIDE, STANDS AS SELF-ESTEEM IN THE FACE OF SHAMING, ISOLATION, OTHERING, CONDEMNATION THAT PEOPLE GET FOR THE CONDITION OF BEING WHAT THEY FIND THEMSELVES LIKE BEING ATTRACTED TO PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX, FINDING THEMSELVES IN BODIES WITH WRONG PARTS, OR NOT FEELING THAT THE TRADITIONAL BINARY OF MALE AND FEMALE GENDER ROLES OR EXPRESSIONS QUITE FIT THEM.

SO TO ANYONE IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT, STAFF, STUDENTS, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY WHO FIND THEMSELVES LGBTQ PLUS, I WANT TO SAY YOU MATTER. YOU'RE VALUABLE. YOU DESERVE LOVE AND DIGNITY AS ANYONE ELSE.

AND TO THE BOARD, I OFFER ANY RESOURCES AND HELP THAT I AM CONNECTED WITH IN SUPPORTING YOUR IN HELPING YOU SUPPORT YOUR TOWARDS LGBTQIA STAFF AND STUDENTS SO THEY CAN EXIST IN OUR SPACES WITH SELF-ESTEEM, DIGNITY, SAFETY, AND THRIVE HERE.

HAPPY PRIDE. THANK YOU MISS. THAT WOULD BE THE END OF PUBLIC COMMENTS.

MOVING ON TO SUPERINTENDENT/STAFF UPDATES. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.

[8. Superintendent and Staff Updates]

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR LISTENING SESSION COMING UP NEXT WEEK, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.

LORRI AND DEBBIE, FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN ON THIS.

WE DID HAVE A PLANNING MEETING LAST WEEK AND I SENT SOME FOLLOW UP INPUT IN CASE YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER AS WE FINALIZE THAT. BUT THE INTENTION WOULD BE THAT WE WILL GIVE A LIST OF ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE NECESSARY MOVING FORWARD TO BE RETURNED. WE WILL ALIGN THOSE WITH SAFE, SAFE AND CARING, HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION AND COLLABORATION THAT CULTIVATES TRUST.

AND WITHIN THAT, OUR INTENTION IS TO MAKE IT CLEAR WHICH THINGS ARE INSTRUCTIONALLY BASED OR OPERATIONALLY BASED IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE THOSE LARGE BUCKETS. AND WE WILL PRIORITIZE WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE NECESSARY MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME TOTALS SO THAT PEOPLE

[00:25:10]

AND THEN IT WILL BE REALLY UP TO THOSE LISTENING SESSIONS TO PROVIDE INPUT.

IF THEY, IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT PEOPLE FEEL WE'RE MISSING OR WHATNOT, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GATHER THAT.

AND I HAD SENT KIND OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE JUST FELT LIKE, WHAT PROGRAM AND SERVICES ARE YOU WILLING TO SUPPORT THROUGH LEVY FUNDING? WHAT DO YOU WHAT NEEDS DO YOU BELIEVE WE HAVE MISSED? WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR US? AND THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY THE QUESTIONS, UNLESS THERE'S OTHER INPUT OF THINGS THAT YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD CONSIDER INCLUDING IN THAT FEEDBACK, THAT WOULD BE THE WAY WE WOULD STRUCTURE THAT.

SO THE INTENT WOULD BE, IS THERE WOULD BE A DISTRICT FACILITATOR, LIKE THERE WAS AT OUR PREVIOUS LISTENING SESSIONS, WHO WOULD BE TAKING NOTES, THOSE NOTES WOULD BE GIVEN.

WE WOULD ASK PEOPLE TO GET, TAKE 2 OR 3 MINUTES PER PERSON TO SHARE AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE, STEP BACK, STEP FORWARD THAT IDEA OF COLLABORATION SO THAT EVERYONE HAS A VOICE IN THAT.

AND THEN TIME PERMITTING, WE WOULD TRY AND GET OUR FACILITATORS WHO'VE TAKEN THE NOTES TO GIVE US A BRIEF UPDATE WHOLE GROUP AFTERWARDS.

HARD TO PLAN HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT ATTEND. THERE CERTAINLY IS ON THE BACK TABLE.

SOME OF THEM TONIGHT TO INVITATIONS. WE'VE SENT THEM OUT INVITATIONS OUT TO WELL OVER 100 PEOPLE WITH DIRECT INVITATIONS AT THIS POINT. AND SO HARD TO KNOW.

AND CERTAINLY THE INFORMATION THAT AMANDA AND HER TEAM HAVE BEEN PUTTING OUT THROUGH OUR REGULAR COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AS WELL.

SO SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS AS WELL ARE SENDING THEM IN NEWSLETTERS.

WE GAVE THEM INFORMATION THAT THEY COULD SHARE, BUT IF THEY ALREADY SENT OUT THEIR NEWSLETTER, IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HIT THEIR. SO WE THINK THAT WE'VE GOTTEN A PRETTY WIDE PLACE OUT THERE TO TALK ABOUT HAVING THAT EVENT AND WE'LL PLAN FOR OVER 100 PEOPLE AND THEN WE'LL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP.

AND WE HAVE ALSO HEARD BACK FROM BOTH THE TREASURER AND ASSESSOR.

THEY ARE BOTH AVAILABLE FOR THE WORK SESSION FOR THE BOARD ON THE 22ND.

SO IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I NEED TO KNOW THAT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, THEY'VE ASKED THAT WE PROVIDE THEM WITH SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO SPEAK ON SO THAT THEY CAN BE PREPARED.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WITH OUR TEAM IS KIND OF THE AVERAGE MILLAGE RATE FOR EP&O LEVIES IN CLARK COUNTY.

AND THEN MAYBE WHAT THE STATE RATE MIGHT BE IF THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL, THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL.

WE KNOW THAT THAT LEVIES ARE ALLOWED TO BE $2.50, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT IS, WHAT IS TYPICAL FOR BOTH THIS AREA AND FOR THE STATE. OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I WOULD JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT SO THAT WE COULD GET THAT IN FRONT OF THEM IN ADVANCE, SO THAT THEY COULD BE PREPARED TO SPEAK TO THAT.

SO I WOULD JUST ASK IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT, IF YOU COULD GET THAT TO ME THIS WEEK.

SO THAT YEAH, THAT WOULD GIVE THEM A FULL WEEK.

I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM.

BUT YEAH, THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM ON THE SPOT, SO.

I WENT TO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THOSE INVITATIONS OUT ON BULLETIN BOARDS, POST OFFICES, AND I'M HITTING NORTH COUNTY TRYING TO GET MORE INVOLVEMENT THERE. I TOOK IT INTO THE YEAH, CALLED CITY HALL TODAY SO THAT THEY COULD GET IT OUT FOR TONIGHT FOR THEIR BOARD MEETINGS BECAUSE THEIR BOARD MEETINGS ALIGN WITH OURS.

SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO BOTH. SO TRYING, JUST TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT THE, THE GOAL AT THE END OF THIS MEETING IS THAT IT WILL PROVIDE US INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT MILLAGE RATE, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE REASONABLE.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE. WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES? AND WHAT IS THE COST OF THOSE PRIORITIES TO BRING FORWARD OR TO BRING BACK? SO YEAH, SO IMPORTANT MEETING. THANK YOU. SO YEAH.

THANK YOU. THAT IS IT FOR ME. NONE. NONE FOR LYNELL.

NONE FOR MICHELLE. MICHELLE IS OFF DOING OTHER THINGS.

MICHELLE SCOTT. THANK YOU. BOARD. I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ABOUT OUR AUDIT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT GETS ENOUGH CREDIT THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THE STATE AUDIT.

[00:30:03]

WE ARE ANTICIPATING AN INVOICE. AFTER EVERYTHING WE GET ALL THE INVOICES.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE AUDIT TO COST ABOUT $60,100.

SO IT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA TOO, THAT IT'S BROKEN UP INTO KIND OF THREE SECTIONS.

SO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE FEDERAL PROGRAMS. AND SO WHAT MARSHALL WAS SPEAKING TO WAS MOSTLY THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF REVIEWING INTERNAL CONTROLS AND MAKING SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR PROCEDURES AND POLICIES. BUT WE'RE ALSO HAVE A COMPLETE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES EVERYTHING INTO THE BALANCE SHEETS AND THE, ALL OF THE ACCOUNTING TRANSACTIONS THAT GO INTO THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NEW GASB IMPLEMENTATION THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO DO LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS PRETTY EXTENSIVE.

IT WAS A NEW GASB THAT THEY DECIDED THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD BE DOING FOR COMPENSATED ABSENCES.

SO THERE SO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT IS ONE PORTION, THE ACCOUNTABILITY IS ANOTHER.

AND PULLING ALL KINDS OF DOCUMENTS AND BOXES AND BOXES WENT OUT TO THE STATE AUDITORS AND THEN OUR FEDERAL PROGRAMS BECAUSE SPECIAL EDUCATION WAS ONE OF THE, ON THE ROTATION.

AND THEN THE AWARE GRANT WAS ONE OF OUR NEWER GRANTS, 43% OF OUR FEDERAL PROGRAMS WERE AUDITED.

SO THAT'S A QUITE A BIT OF AUDITING ON THE FEDERAL PROGRAMS. SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT COMPLIANCE FOLLOWING STATE LAW, FEDERAL LAWS.

FOLLOWING OUR PROCEDURES AND POLICIES. AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE USE OF OUR LOCAL FUNDS AS WELL.

SO THE THAT IS A REQUIREMENT AFTER MCCLEARY WAS THE USE OF LOCAL FUNDS REVIEW BY THE STATE AUDITORS FOR FOLLOWING THE RCWS ON THAT AS WELL. I WANT TO THANK THE AMAZING TEAM AT BATTLE GROUND IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE T&L, HR, PAYROLL. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH MAKING SURE WE GET THROUGH THIS AUDIT AND THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. SO THERE WAS AMAZING TEAM INCLUDING CINDY AND SHERRY WHO SPENT A LOT OF TIME, BUT IT WAS A, IT WAS A LONG AUDIT, BUT IT WAS WE'RE GLAD TO KNOW THAT WE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES THIS TIME.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER ON THE AUDIT.

JUST WHAT DOES GASB STAND FOR? IF. THE GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD.

AND THANK YOU TO YOU. YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU MICHELLE.

YOUR TEAM DOES AN AMAZING JOB AND CONTINUES TO PULL ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED AND DO A GREAT JOB MAKING SURE WE'VE GOT CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE.

SO HATS OFF TO YOU. YOU'RE A BIG PART OF THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NOTHING FOR KEVIN RIGHT NOW, AND NOTHING FOR AMANDA.

SO THAT'S IT FOR SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF UPDATES.

SO OUR CONSENT AGENDA IS NEXT. THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING,

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

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? 5-0.

OLD BUSINESS. THERE IS NONE. NEW BUSINESS APPROVAL OF STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE TO THE BOARD.

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

[00:35:02]

SO SELECTED STUDENT WILL START THEIR TERM JULY 1ST, 2026 AND WILL SERVE FOR TWO YEARS.

THE BOARD APPOINTS ADDISON. HELP ME. JUHNKE. OR JUHNKE.

OKAY. ADDISON JUNKIE AS THE JUNIOR BOARD REPRESENTATIVE, AND HAILEE NATIOLA AS THE ALTERNATE REPRESENTATIVE IN CASE THERE'S A NEED.

CORRECT? DO WE REQUIRE A MOTION HERE, I BELIEVE.

I MOVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE APPOINTMENT OF THE NEW STUDENT REP AN ALTERNATIVE AS PRESENTED.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? 5-0.

AND BOARD. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT ADDISON WILL NOT TAKE, WILL NOT ACTUALLY START UNTIL THE FIRST.

BUT SHE IS AT CISPUS LEADERSHIP FOR OUR JULY MEETING, SO WE WILL HAVE HER COME AND GET SWORN IN AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

SO IT'LL BE, SHE'LL BE SWORN IN A LITTLE EARLY, BUT WE'LL HAVE HER GET SWORN IN, AND THEN WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON A TRAINING DAY FOR HER IN JULY. THAT'S EXCELLENT. PERFECT. THANK YOU.

SECOND ITEM IS APPROVAL OF PACIFIC OFFICE AUTOMATION.

COPY RELEASE. MICHELLE. SCOTT. THANK YOU. YES, SEEKING YOUR APPROVAL FOR COPIER LEASES. IT'S A FIVE YEAR TERM TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER 1ST.

AND JUST TO TELL YOU, GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND HISTORY, IT'S ALL IN THE BOARD DOCS, BUT WE OUR CURRENT FIVE YEAR LEASE IS EXPIRING.

AND SO WE LOOK TO INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENTS TO THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORMALLY PROCURED SO THAT THEY MEET THE PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE AND OUR POLICIES.

AND THEN WE GO OUT AND ASK FOR WE ASKED FOR BIDS TO COME IN AND WE.

WE WORKED WITH TWO DIFFERENT VENDORS TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAD AVAILABLE.

AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE, ON THE BOARD DOCUMENTS, WE HAD SIX OPTIONS AND WE WENT WITH THE LOWEST PRICE OPTION FOR THE SHARP COPIERS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE CANON, BUT THE CANON ONES ARE GOING TO BE EXPIRING.

SO WE HAD TO DO A SWAP OUT REGARDLESS. WE COULDN'T KEEP THE ONES THAT WE HAD BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY CHANGES AND THEY WERE NO LONGER PROVIDING UPDATES FOR THAT. SO IF WE WOULD HAVE THE CANONS TO REPLACE WITH A CANON WAS QUITE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE.

WE DID CALL OTHER AGENCIES TO FIND OUT HOW THEY LIKED THEIR SHARP COPIERS, BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GETTING A GOOD PRODUCT AND SOMETHING EASY TO USE FOR USERS.

SO THE FINAL NEGOTIATED PRICE WAS 294,800 OVER THE 60 YEAR LIFETIME. THE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTED ALSO THAT THE CLICK RATE IS NOT CHANGING, WHICH IS GOOD.

SO WE DO HAVE TO PAY A CLICK RATE, WHICH HELPS PAY FOR OUR MAINTENANCE AND IT COVERS SUPPLIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WITH THIS CONTRACT, BY GOING FROM THE CANON TO THE SHARP, WE'RE GOING TO SAVE $129,850 OVER FIVE YEARS.

SO THAT'S REALLY GREAT. I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO DARCY SPIEKERMAN.

SHE DOES A LOT OF THIS WORK. SHE'S THE PURCHASING AGENT FOR THE DISTRICT, AND HER AND I WORK CLOSELY TOGETHER TO MAKE YOU KNOW, THE BEST DECISION THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH FOR THE TO PRESENT TO YOU.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? IT'S LIKE A $2,000 A MONTH SAVINGS, RIGHT? YEAH. SOMETHING AROUND IT'S, IT IS. YEAH. THE 6,906 IS WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY PLAYING AND.

YES. AND 4,913. YEAH. SO YEAH, IT'LL BE A NICE SAVINGS OVER THE FIVE YEARS OF THE AGREEMENT.

EXCELLENT. WHICH IS HUGE. REALLY HUGE. YOU'D EXPECT PRICES TO GO UP NOT DOWN.

YEAH. IT'S NICE TO SAVE SOME MONEY FOR A CHANGE. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH.

YEAH. GOOD. WELL, WE SHOP AROUND, DO OUR HOMEWORK.

YEAH. THAT'S. KUDOS TO YOU. YEAH. KUDOS TO YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? ENTERTAIN A MOTION. THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR.

I MAKE A MOTION THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE APPOINT APPROVE THE LEASE OF THE COPIERS.

[00:40:09]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR HELPING. YEAH. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? 5-0. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ALLISON. HI THERE. WE HAVE A MEMBER FROM THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE, ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO RESIGNED HER POSITION.

THE COMMITTEE HAD A THREE YEAR LIFESPAN. AND SO WE SELECTED NEW MEMBERS LAST JANUARY.

AND SO WE NEED TO FILL THE POSITION FOR THE REST OF THIS TERM.

SO I WENT TO OUR LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAD APPLIED AND WE PICKED OUR FIRST ALTERNATE CONTACTED THAT PERSON.

SO WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US. I WANT TO GET THE NAME RIGHT.

SO I PUT IT IN HERE. RACHEL CRISTAUDO, I THINK IS HOW YOU SAY THE NAME.

SO I AM HERE ASKING FOR YOU TO APPROVE RACHEL CRISTAUDO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. 5-0. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR 450 & STORAGE BUILDING DEMOLITION PROJECT TO 3 KINGS ENVIRONMENTAL INC..

KEVIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND LIKEWISE, I'D LIKE TO THANK DARCY EDWARDS AND JOSH JONER IN MY OFFICE WHO KEEP OUR CONTRACTS IN ORDER.

EVERY OTHER YEAR, THEY THOROUGHLY REVIEW OUR CONTRACTS AS WELL.

THIS PROJECT, THIS I WOULD LOOK FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE 450 AND STORAGE BUILDINGS PROJECT TO 3 KINGS AND, 3 KINGS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.. THIS CONTRACT IS 145,000 WITHOUT TAX, WITH TAX 158.

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOVE MY 150 SIGNING LIMIT. SO THAT'S WHY I'M IN FRONT OF YOU NOW.

THE 450 BUILDING SERVED AS MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY THINGS.

IT STARTED OUT AS A BUS BARN. I'M SURE SHELLY HAD SOME CLASSES.

I HAD AUTO SHOP, SMALL GAS ENGINES ELECTRICAL, QUITE A FEW IN THAT BUILDING.

WE GENERALLY GET A BANG OUT OF OUR BUCK FOR OUR BUILDINGS AROUND HERE.

YEAH. BUT IT IS TIME FOR THAT TO COME DOWN. IN ITS PLACE WILL BE THE NEW FUTURES BUILDING, WHICH WILL BE. I'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU NEXT BOARD MEETING.

SO SITE WORK FOR THAT WORK WILL BE DOING THIS SUMMER IN PREPARATION FOR IT.

BUT THIS BILL, THIS TAKES DOWN THE 450 BUILDING AND ALL THE SLABS.

AND IF I RECALL, DOWN TO 18IN BELOW SLAB LEVEL.

IT TAKES OUT ALL THE OLD OIL PITS, THE LIFTS, THE EVERYTHING THAT WAS THERE.

WE'VE PREVIOUSLY WE'VE REMOVED ASBESTOS FROM.

THERE WAS NO, IT WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS MUCH ASBESTOS AS I THOUGHT I'D FIND IN THERE.

SO THAT WAS GOOD. SO THAT'S OCCURRED ALREADY.

WE'RE LOOKING TO. AND THEN THIS WILL ALSO TAKE DOWN THE SMALL PORTABLE THAT'S JUST SOUTH OF THE CAGE NEXT TO THAT BIG TREE.

OUR TRADES BUILDING WILL BE SITTING. IT'S. IT LIES WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT OF OUR NEW BUILDING THAT WE'RE BUILDING.

SO THAT PORTION OF THE WORK WILL BE COVERED BY CAPITAL LEVY.

THE SMALL, SMALL PORTION. AND THEN THE 450 BUILDING WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH IMPACT FEES AS A PREPARATION FOR THE NEW FUTURES BUILDING.

THE, IT WAS FULL OF OLD DRAMA PROGRAM PROPS AND COSTUMES AND THINGS, AND THEY NEVER GET RID OF ANYTHING. AND I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MIGHT NEED A 1930S PHONE FOR THE NEXT PLAY.

YOU DO, AND WHY GO OUT AND GET ANOTHER ONE. SO WE'VE MOVED THEM FROM THERE INTO PORTABLE P2, WHICH WASN'T BEING USED THIS YEAR AND WON'T BE USED NEXT YEAR.

WE'LL, THEY'LL, THEY'LL START SORTING THROUGH AND SEE WHAT THEY THROW OUT.

I DOUBT IT WILL BE MUCH. TEACHERS DON'T GET RID OF ANYTHING.

[00:45:03]

I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE LAST VERY LAST DAY IS, BUT THE NEXT DAY WILL BE BREAKING GROUND LITERALLY.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? IMPACT FEES AND CAPITAL LEVY.

YES. OKAY. IMPACT FEES FOR THE MAIN BUILDING FOR WHERE THE FUTURES WILL BE CAPITAL LEVY.

IT'LL BE A VERY SMALL PORTION FOR THE CAPITAL LEVY JUST TO DEMOLISH THAT HORRIBLE.

YEAH. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE THOSE AMOUNTS. WHEN I HAVE A CONTRACTOR, I'LL ASK THEM HOW MUCH IT WAS.

OKAY. I DIDN'T WANT TO CONFUSE MATTERS ON THE BID.

ANYTHING ELSE? I RECOMMEND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE DEMOLITION CONTRACT TO THREE KINGS ENVIRONMENTAL INCORPORATED AS PRESENTED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME. SIGN 5-0. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANKS, KEVIN. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA MORE COMMENTS.

THERE ARE NONE. LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.

[13. Future Agenda Items and Board Events]

HE'S AGREED TO BE OUR PRESENTER AT THE ANNUAL BOARD RETREAT VIA ZOOM.

HE CAME AND TRAINED THE BOARD IN 2011 PRESENTED POLICY GOVERNANCE.

HE SENT TWO HANDOUTS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND HIS AVAILABILITY.

JUST THROW THESE DATES OUT WHETHER SOMEONE HAS VACATION.

JULY 1ST THROUGH 18 HE'S AVAILABLE. IN AUGUST 1ST THROUGH 13.

AND AUGUST 16TH THROUGH 31. IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN HAVING HIM COME IN AND PROVIDE SOME TRAINING FOR US.

WHAT WAS IT? I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. WHAT WERE THE AUGUST DATES AGAIN? OH, SURE. AUGUST 1ST THROUGH 13. AND AUGUST 16TH THROUGH 31.

HE SENT A PROPOSAL WHICH I GAVE TO SHELLEY A COPY OF AN TERRY.

HE HAS PHASES THAT HE'S OFFERING. SO IF WE WOULD LIKE HIM TO DO ANY WORK HE SAID HE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COME IN AND WORK WITH THE BATTLE GROUND BOARD, AND HE WAS VERY PLEASED THAT HE WAS CONTACTED AGAIN AND ENJOYED HIS TIME WHEN HE CAME IN 2011.

TWO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, WHICH WAS MONTY ANDERSON AND STEPHANIE MCCLINTOCK WERE ON THE BOARD AT THAT TIME.

AND I'M GOING TO, I'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM TO KIND OF GET THEIR FEEDBACK TO, TO SEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF THE TRAINING AND TO GIVE US, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME IDEAS ON WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE ALSO.

AND THEN FUTURE EVENTS. I. HOLD ON TO THAT FOR A SECOND.

YEAH. SO, SO CAN YOU STATE THE THEME OR THE PURPOSE THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING FOR OUR RETREAT? WELL, HE FOCUSES ON POLICY GOVERNANCE. AND SO IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE PRESENTLY DOING, BUT HE ALSO HELPS BOARDS BECOME MORE EFFICIENT.

HE ALSO HAS SEVERAL BOOKS OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD REFER TO IF ANY OF THOSE WERE OF INTEREST.

I THINK WE COULD PRETTY MUCH CALL THE TOPIC. I THINK HE'D BE PRETTY OPEN TO WHATEVER THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME TRAINING AND SUPPORT ON.

SO, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE CAME IN 2011. THAT'S WHAT HE CAME AND TRAINED ON WAS POLICY GOVERNANCE.

SO SHELLEY. I KNOW IN THE PAST WE DIDN'T REALLY, WE WEREN'T ASKED WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE OR I CAME TO A COUPLE OF RETREATS AND WAS NOT APPROACHED ON WHAT THEY WOULD BE ABOUT. SO DO YOU HAVE THEMES OR THOUGHTS ABOUT MAYBE WHAT WE SHOULD BE USING THAT TIME FOR? WELL, I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF WORK SESSIONS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND I THINK YOU COULD YOU COULD TIE ANY ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

CERTAINLY. THE WORK FROM THE LAST MEETING WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUTCOMES AND WE STILL NEED TO FINALIZE GOALS.

THAT'S CERTAINLY A PIECE THAT COULD USE SOME MORE WORK FOR SURE.

I THINK WE HAD A LIST. I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME TODAY OF OTHER ITEMS THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AS WELL.

SO I COULD SEND, I COULD SEND OUT THE LIST THAT I HAVE.

POLICY GOVERNANCE, I THINK THAT WHAT DEBBIE IS SHARING IS REALLY INTERESTING.

[00:50:04]

IN OUR STATE, IT'S MORE COMMON TO HAVE POLICIES LIKE WE HAVE, BUT POLICY GOVERNANCE, THERE ARE A FEW DISTRICTS AROUND US.

SO I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN WHAT MONTY AND STEPHANIE SAY IT SAID ABOUT THAT, THE TRAINING THAT WAS DONE.

IF WE WERE GOING TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION, CLEARLY THEY MUST NOT HAVE MADE A CHANGE TO POLICY GOVERNANCE WHEN THEY WHEN THEY HAD THAT DONE, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL USING BOARD POLICIES. I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I WASN'T INVOLVED IN THAT AT THE TIME, BUT I KNOW THE CENTER MOVED TO THAT IN LIKE OH FIVE AND I BELIEVE THEY STILL USE IT. I COULDN'T, I'D HAVE TO CHECK WITH PETE TO KNOW FOR SURE.

AND I BELIEVE THAT VANCOUVER USES. OR NOT VANCOUVER, EVERGREEN MIGHT USE POLICY GOVERNANCE.

SO I WOULD WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT THEY BELIEVE ARE THE ADVANTAGES OR DISADVANTAGES, WHATEVER. BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT POLICY.

GOVERNANCE DOESN'T REALLY IT'S REALLY ABOUT THE ENDS RATHER THAN BOARD POLICIES HAVE KIND OF THE LIST OF RULES AND WE HAVE THE LIST OF RULES, BUT THEY'RE REALLY ABOUT THE ENDS AND, AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY AS A BOARD TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE SUPERINTENDENT HAVING ENDS THAT THEY'RE AFTER. SO WE'D WANT TO DO SOME READING.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE GAVE US SOME GOOD ARTICLES TO MAKE THAT.

SO WHY DON'T I, WHY DON'T WE ALL DO OUR HOMEWORK ON THE ARTICLES AND THEN I'LL SEND THE LIST THAT WE'VE BRAINSTORMED.

AND THEN IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE INDIVIDUALLY AND YOU WANT ME TO SEND THAT TO THE TOTALITY OF THE BOARD, LET ME KNOW. YEAH. SO LET'S GET OUR IDEAS AND THOUGHTS IF WE HAVE ANY.

BOOK ON SETTING GOALS AND GUARDRAILS FOR SCHOOL BOARDS.

YEAH, THE BOOK THAT WE SHE SHARED WITH US. YEAH. AND EVEN THE BOOK, IT COULD BE.

THE BOOK ITSELF, COULD BE A BOOK OR A RETREAT TOPIC.

SHOULD I REACH OUT TO. I'M IN CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE EVERGREEN SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO CONTACT HIM AND ASK HIM QUESTIONS? I THINK IT'S ROB. YEAH. YEAH, ROB'S THE PRESIDENT. I KNOW HIM WELL. YEAH.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT OR IF YOU WANT ME TO.

WHOEVER WANTS TO ATTEND. IT'S FINE. I'LL REACH OUT TO EVERGREEN.

HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GIVE US SOME REAL PERSONAL INSIGHT ON.

BECAUSE I THINK HE'S BEEN ON THE BOARD A WHILE.

A LONG TIME, AND HE JUST BECAME PRESIDENT. AND THAT REALLY, IF WE DECIDE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, I'M THINKING MORE. WE SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, REALLY FOCUSING ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO, WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO USE THAT TIME FOR.

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. SO YEAH, IF LORRI COULD FIND OUT AND THEN DEBBIE, YOU CAN FIND OUT FROM MARNIE AND STEPHANIE, AND THEN MAYBE I'LL SEND IT OUT BEFORE THE 22ND AND WE CAN LOOP BACK TO MAKE SOME FINAL PLANS.

YEAH, THE SOONER THIS WEEK. SO, YEAH, THAT'LL BE NICE.

YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. AS FAR AS DATES, I'M NOT AVAILABLE IN JULY.

JUST I'M AVAILABLE ALL OF AUGUST. BUT JUST AVAILABILITY WISE.

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. AVAILABILITY FOR ALL OF US IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE ALONG THE LINES HERE.

I JUST ASK THAT WE NOT DO AUGUST 6TH. OKAY, SURE.

IT'S MY ANNIVERSARY. TWO YEARS IN A ROW. MIGHT NOT BE.

NOT GO OVER REAL WELL. I REMEMBER I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT.

YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CALENDAR TALK? YEAH, I WANTED TO BRING UP ANYONE INTERESTED? LAURIN IS HAVING THEIR EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATION ON WEDNESDAY.

THIS COMING WEDNESDAY FROM 9 TO 11. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO ATTEND SOME OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT THEY HAVE IN THE DISTRICT AT THE SCHOOLS. AND THEN YOU ALREADY MENTIONED THE LISTENING SESSION.

I HOPE EVERYONE COMES TO THAT. AND THEN I WANTED TO BRING UP ABOUT THE COFFEE WITH DIRECTORS.

WE'VE BEEN MEETING WEDNESDAYS AT JULIO'S. WE TALKED ABOUT MOVING IT TO THE SCHOOLS, POSSIBLY IN SEPTEMBER.

I JUST WANT TO GET EVERYBODY ELSE'S THOUGHTS ON THAT AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT.

I THOUGHT IT'D BE KIND OF COOL TO BE OUT FRONT. AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN KIDS ARE GETTING DROPPED OFF AND YOU'RE COMING OFF THE BUS AND SAYING HELLO AND WELCOMING THEM TO SCHOOL AND, YOU KNOW, ASKING THEM IF THEY'RE READY TO LEARN AND, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF BE THEIR CHEERLEADERS FOR A DAY WOULD BE KIND OF, I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE FUN, BUT THAT'S JUST ME. WELL, DON'T MOVE ON. SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING IN THAT, THAT WE ACTUALLY LIKE, MAYBE CONTACT THE PRINCIPAL THAT WE ARE THERE AT A SCHOOL ONE MORNING? YEAH. GLENWOOD ALREADY THAT, DID THAT. PRINCIPAL'S LIKE, BRING IT ON, BABY.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. YEAH. AND SOME OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE.

WHAT THEY CALL IT, I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER. DAYBREAK PRIMARY DID IT FOR A WHILE.

YEAH. DONUTS. SO WHY DON'T WE BE, LIKE IN THE TITLE AREA?

[00:55:04]

SOMETIMES IT'S A CONFERENCE AREA OR AN EMPTY CLASSROOM.

JUST DEPENDS. I MEAN, THERE'S A CUBBY WHEREVER.

YEAH. WHEREVER THERE'S A SPOT. I MEAN, THE IDEA IS, IS TO WELCOME THE KIDS AND THE AND GREET THE PARENTS AND THEN IF THEY KNOW WE'RE THERE, THEY, IF THEY WANT TO PARK AND COME IN FOR FIVE MINUTES AND HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE AND.

IT SOUNDS LIKE CHRIS HAS GOT SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT IT. NO, NO, THAT'S ANOTHER IDEA.

OH, WELL, SURE. IT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED WAS WHEN WE DO THE BOARD TOURS, WHEN WE DO THOSE TO MEET AND INVITE THE COMMUNITY ALONG WITH US WHEN WE DO IT.

OKAY. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MISS EUNICE HAS BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST THAT WHEN THEY HAD DONE THOSE TOURS, THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED ALONG. I'VE, WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO BE THERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO AT THE SAME TIME.

OKAY, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. SO I LIKE ALL OF THAT.

SO ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE? THAT'S THE QUESTION MARK FOR THE SUMMER.

WELL I WAS GOING TO BE THERE THIS THIS WEDNESDAY MYSELF.

OKAY. SO I JUST HAVE SOME ODD ODDS AND ENDS. PEOPLE COME EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND JUST SHOW UP.

SOME DON'T SOMETIMES. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS SCHOOL? SHOULD WE PURSUE THIS SCHOOL BOARD? SCHOOL THING IS KIND OF ODD.

YEAH, I'M ALL FOR.

YOU KNOW. YEAH. YOU KNOW. SOME OF US STILL WORK.

YEAH. MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE IT OCCASIONALLY. THAT'D BE FUN.

THE REALITY IS, I THINK ANY TIME THAT WE CAN EVEN LOCALIZE MORE AND HAVE OPPORTUNITIES AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL TO HAVE INTERACTIONS, THE BETTER I WOULD BE IN FULL SUPPORT OF IT. I AGREE.

YEAH. ANYTIME.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT. OKAY. ABSOLUTELY.

SKETCH OUT SOMETHING IN THE WAY OF AN IDEA AND LET'S COME BACK TO IT AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I LOVE IT. EUNICE, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THOSE THAT CONTRIBUTION TELLING US ABOUT THAT.

I'D NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. SO YEAH. OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE CALENDAR? YES. WELL, IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, THEN THE NEXT THING ON THE AGENDA ITEM IS ADJOURNMENT. SO MAY I? ALL IN FAVOR? I JUST ANNOUNCED THAT I CALL AN ADJOURNMENT.

THIS MEETING OF THE. THE BATTLE GROUND SCHOOL BOARD IS OFFICIALLY ADJOURNED.

AT WHAT TIME? 4:57. 4:57? 4:57 ADJOURNED. THANK YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE.
