No one's in person, but if you were siya saste in Persona solicita and trubs missour siguada al fonda de la sala. At all our board meetings, we encourage public participation. Invite your comments on issues of concern, regardless of whether they're on the agenda. If your comments for an item on the agenda, you'll be called on that item's being considered. If it's for an item not on the agenda, you'll be called shortly during the public comment section of the agenda and to let us know that you'd like to comment. And if you're here in person, please fill out a speaker's card throughout the entrance to the room, and then you can hand it to Evelyn. If you're attending via Zoom, you may fill out the form that's linked from the agenda or just raise your zoom hand when the item is being considered. And then, to be fair to all speakers, we limit public comments to 3 minutes per person per topic, unless otherwise noted. Let's move on to changes to the agenda. I've got one request to. So, yeah, to remove 8.2, which is the first reading and discussion of BP 1112, the media relations. Any other changes to the agenda? Can I get a motion to approve the agenda with that one change?"},{"start":105570,"end":108130,"speaker":"E","text":"I move to approve the agenda.

We're going to get a timer. Yeah, it's coming up, so just. Just so you're aware, we'll. We'll keep ourselves accountable to time. No, no, no. It's all Evelyn. Thank you for stepping onto it. Okay, so our first item is the discussion on the process for national search for the next superintendent of schools. As you all know, Dr. Bake. As you all know, Dr. Baker announced his intention to retire after this school year. And so we're grateful for the deep dedication to our students, staff, and families and for the study leadership. He's Provided. But tonight's item's not a farewell. We have a full year of important work to do together, so we're going to save reflections and formal accolades for the end of the school year when you can honor your service appropriately. So this evening's goal, our goal is really to align on the superintendent search process. And we're just getting started here. I think from this discussion item, there's really two items that we should focus on at this time, but you're welcome to bring up others if you want. So probably the one that I think is the most important is to decide what's the pool of firms that we want to have come present and then we can select from. And that was included in the agenda there. I just wanted to give you a little background on them on how they got selected. Those three firms they came from looking at other districts in San Mateo county and just looking to see what firms were they using both for their consideration, when they did their consideration selection and then who they were selecting. And it really seemed like. I think Sequoia used these three, too, right when they were selecting theirs. But the. It seemed like these three covered overwhelmingly the majority of the districts that I looked at across the county. And as you can, if you looked on their websites, you can see that they've been making placements at schools in both Santa Clara and San Mateo County. So the question then is, you know, I guess would be do we think that three firms are sufficient to select from? And if not, how many firms do you think we need and do you have suggestions for additional firms? By the way, the superintendent, John. John's reached out to all three firms and received initial information from a couple of them. I don't know if all of them have gotten back yet, so. But you can share that with the trustees. Okay."},{"start":275970,"end":289120,"speaker":"G","text":"So I have information both from Leadership and associates, Hazard Yegan, Atia and Atiya and Associates. McPherson I did connect with on Monday morning, but as of today, I don't have anything. So it was supposed to get to me."},{"start":289520,"end":290080,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay."},{"start":290240,"end":290640,"speaker":"G","text":"Latest."},{"start":290720,"end":427840,"speaker":"A","text":"So obviously there'll be more information as we get to presentations. Well, we'll learn when they'll. They'll come in and do presentations, and we'll be able to ask them questions directly about what we want and how we get. And they'll. They'll talk about what their process is and how they go through it. So then the next thing. So one is going to be firms like are we do have a Right. Selection pool. The next thing that I think is important to kind of align on tonight is. Is the timeline. My preference is to have us really focus on having these firms come at the September 10th meeting so that we can really get started. And if we are able to have the pool come in present and we can make a selection that night, that really puts us on track for interviews in December and potentially approving a contract in January. You know, obviously the exact mechanism for how that timeline is going to work is going to depend upon the firm selected and exactly what process they run through. But generally speaking, it kind of looks like September and October, if we're on that timeline, would be around planning and listening to community staff and, you know, doing community and staff engagement, that kind of thing. October and November would be recruiting and advertising for candidates to pull it in. And November and December would be selecting finalists and conducting interviews. And just so you know, this is going to happen over the course of multiple meetings. And, you know, and to protect candidate confidentiality, some of it's going to happen in closed session and according with the Brown Act. So I do want to flag in advance. And of course, we will have the timeline, once we select the firm of what the exact times are. But there are going to be some lengthy meetings coming up, and some of them will be closed sessions. So if it happens before a regular meeting, that could be meeting at like 4 or 5 beforehand. And so we want to make sure that we're able to keep some calendar flexibility, particularly into the months of November and December, so that we have that option to be able to kind of get through this process and keep it on that timeline. January sounds like it's kind of like a normal time to be making these selections. And then that gives us the opportunity to decide, you know, when the. When to start the contract. If we want to have overlap time and just have it start in the summer, that's it. I don't know if people have comments, thoughts, or other topics that they think we should be discussing about this tonight, but I'll pass it off to you. Did you have anything you want to add on top of that?"},{"start":427840,"end":462430,"speaker":"G","text":"Just to reinforce what Mike said, all interviews are in closed session. They're not public. They're all in closed session. The only time that something is public is when you decide on the selection of person to become the next superintendent. But everything else is done in closed section, closed session, with the exception of the if they do any types of work out in the community, stakeholder meetings and so forth, that's of course out in the community and also open to all. But when you do the interviews, it's all in closed session."},{"start":467160,"end":499510,"speaker":"A","text":"And one last thing I'll add is that part of the reason that we hire the firms is not just to get the pool of candidates that they can reach out to, but they have done this before. They will teach us best practices, make sure that we're doing the right level of community engagement, you know, the right level of staff involvement, you know, particularly in setting up, like, what are the criteria we should be looking for in a superintendent and that we're following the Brown act and doing everything in accordance with the guidelines. Any. Anyone who wants to have share their thoughts or discussions to start."},{"start":504310,"end":564780,"speaker":"E","text":"Well, what I ideally would not want to have would be like, several different firms come up and just present about how great their firm is. Because I, I feel like it would be good for us to go into a discussion with like a rubric of how. What is true of the search firm that will do a great job of this. Right. So what are some of the aspects of what we would look for? And so some of it is placement in similar districts where they placed a superintendent and saw, you know, results, ability to, for us to kind of back channel to not just getting their slick marketing materials and pitch about how incredible their firm is, but reaching out to districts that actually placed superintendents with the firms, like what was good, what was bad. Right. And the ability to go and collect that. That information. Do we, do we have a sense as a board of what the rubric is that we want to use to select a great search firm here?"},{"start":570780,"end":573100,"speaker":"A","text":"Please don't all speak at once. No, go ahead."},{"start":574060,"end":643570,"speaker":"C","text":"I, I have thoughts. But yeah, it's a good discussion item, I think, to David Wickley's point, I'd be curious on the different scope of services that the different firms provide. I imagine there's a range of things in terms of how much handholding they're willing to do in terms of setting up community engagement efforts, developing or honing a rubric that we come up with an initial capacity if that's what we end up doing. And yeah, specific examples where they've done that. And I think it would be great to have an understanding of examples where they've done it within communities that are analogous to ours. So that those are my broad thoughts. I would also love to get some sort of sense of the responsiveness of the different firms. Like, I think this is something that's super important to all of us, obviously. And because we take it seriously, I would want to make sure that we have a firm that also takes it as if not More seriously. And so just even the simple things like responsiveness to questions or even initial email efforts is probably something that's, that comes to mind for me."},{"start":645810,"end":647089,"speaker":"A","text":"Jen, anything you want to add?"},{"start":648130,"end":664500,"speaker":"F","text":"Well, I'm assuming, I'm hoping the firms would kind of guide us in this whole community engagement piece. I mean that's really important for us for our district and the kind of superintendent we want to have. So I don't know if we're going to be able to pre prep them with some questions or information that they would provide during the."},{"start":665460,"end":691490,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. So from what I've seen from the, just the materials that they've sent and it's, it's all, it's all baked into their process like it really is. They're all kind of following the same sort of four to eight weeks timeline of like hey, we're going to do stakeholder community engagement surveys, bilingual be able to do stakeholder meetings and set that stuff up. But I'm sure there's nuance in all of them. So I think the examples idea is, is a great idea."},{"start":693570,"end":741870,"speaker":"E","text":"Costs might be one of them. Right. To put it out there. Right. Yeah, we want quality but like cost may be a component as well. I mean I would love to see them articulate how they think our district is unusual, may differ from a typical district, what are their opinions on that and then how their firm is unusual. You know, what are ways in which they are different? If all the packs we're getting seem somewhat self similar, it's like well, what should we be looking at as a district board that differentiates your firm from other firms? And then ideally lining those two things up, what are the ways in which your unusual differences as a search firm line up with our unusual needs? There's a degree to which that's a narrative, but I, I'd love to see them put in the effort to tell that narrative."},{"start":742100,"end":742340,"speaker":"D","text":"So"},{"start":745540,"end":746660,"speaker":"A","text":"yes Cecilia,"},{"start":751220,"end":817330,"speaker":"D","text":"Obviously the information is going to come in regarding this three firms and then we would get to see which one's the best one whether cost wise and all the other stuff to David's point regarding like what has worked and who they've hired and if it worked or not. I feel that may be a little harder to choose because people have different opinions about people. Right. And so some superintendents may be there and they'll for a long time and some whether it's personal or issues they have and they go so I mean that's a hard one. I think obviously I would want to see all the information and again maybe how successful they were in reaching or finding someone for. I would, I would want to say maybe similar districts because we also don't want to compare ourselves with, you know, a district that's way off from how we handle things. So"},{"start":820140,"end":834060,"speaker":"C","text":"just. I know that we've identified these three, at least preliminarily. Is, Is there interest in. I. Sorry, I'm making an assumption that these three have focused in California or are they also nationwide?"},{"start":834780,"end":837620,"speaker":"A","text":"They search nationwide? Yeah, they do nationwide searches."},{"start":837620,"end":837820,"speaker":"G","text":"Yeah."},{"start":837820,"end":847020,"speaker":"C","text":"Okay. And are, in terms of the search that we were. That we'd be embarking on, is the board open to like national candidates as well?"},{"start":848220,"end":855700,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, I mean, that's something that we'll talk with them about for sure in that process. But I think we had. I think we. Yeah, we look at national candidates."},{"start":855700,"end":856140,"speaker":"C","text":"Okay."},{"start":856140,"end":856540,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah."},{"start":857340,"end":884490,"speaker":"C","text":"If there's an appetite for expanding the pool of just these three. I have heard of other firms, but also I understand that we're on a timeline that we want to get moving. So happy to at least put those out there once I can gather them and if, if we're able to pull them in by the right time for bringing folks in, then maybe that works. But let me know if that's not. If we feel good already about this, this pool."},{"start":885210,"end":936460,"speaker":"E","text":"I'm. I'm hearing there may be some early signs of lack of responsiveness from McPherson, which is a data point. There's three other ones that seem reasonably credible as far as I know. I've never done a superintendent search before, but just doing some skimming around like Ray and Associates, School Exec Connect, and the cus. Now, there may be good reasons why these three were picked versus those three, but just again, this comes back to Rubrik. I do think if there's a lightweight process that we could do to go and send out some questions, like here are six questions that the board has for any search firm that wants to go and bid on this business. Right. And one is what are your fee for services? Of course. Right. But then maybe there are more interesting questions, like how will you know if your placement was successful? And what could people look at objectively to know that your placements are good?"},{"start":937020,"end":937420,"speaker":"D","text":"Right."},{"start":937660,"end":955700,"speaker":"E","text":"So be an example of a question where you could just put it out there like an RFP for. Call it like all six of these. Right. So this is not asking for six one hour presentations of dog and pony show. You know why my search firm is so amazing? It's just like, give us some written responses and see like how quickly do they get back to us and what do we Think about the quality of"},{"start":955700,"end":964550,"speaker":"C","text":"the responses, and then based on that, that narrows the pool of hands that ultimately would come back to the board for, like, this interview process. Is that what you're thinking?"},{"start":964550,"end":966190,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. I don't know, Mike."},{"start":966190,"end":966630,"speaker":"H","text":"What do you."},{"start":966790,"end":968230,"speaker":"C","text":"I think you're shepherding this, right?"},{"start":968470,"end":985910,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, I'm shepherding it. I think. Well, so one of the questions is, like, how many do we want to consider realistically? There's going to be time for presentation. We're going to have to discuss it. You know, that discussing it, you know, in this format is often slower than, you know, like a normal kind of conversation. We'll have to keep that in mind."},{"start":987350,"end":1002280,"speaker":"E","text":"What if we use the written responses atop a funnel? So what if we have, like, a written RFP with a bunch of questions that we send out to six, seven firms with an anticipation that based on what we see back, we'll pick two to go and duke it out?"},{"start":1002440,"end":1015400,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay. And is there any criteria that you could use to limit those firms beforehand? For example, would you want ones that had placed in the area before or had experience with districts in the area before? Because that's something we could filter off the top."},{"start":1015400,"end":1015600,"speaker":"H","text":"Right."},{"start":1015600,"end":1016040,"speaker":"A","text":"Without even."},{"start":1016040,"end":1031060,"speaker":"E","text":"I mean, that's exactly what I'm asking. In terms of rubric. Right. There may be some cut points where it's like, whether cost is just so high or they've never placed a district like ours where we're willing to say, like, just on the face of it, like, we, we. We don't need to waste our time on this firm because they're. They're out of rubric."},{"start":1031140,"end":1061230,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm happy to look for a couple others and, you know, and talk to them and then see if. Yeah. We can get an RFP and decide which are the ones that we want to bring in. It would have to be soon if we're going to try and make that September 10th date for sure to be able to pull them in. But. Yeah, I'm just. What I'm wondering is there's even ones that, like, once I have that, are there things where I can just, like, right off the top say, well, they've never. They've never placed and they don't have any experience in the, you know, in the Bay Area, for example."},{"start":1062350,"end":1070750,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah. I think for me, top of mind. Yes. If they've never placed anyone in California or the Bay Area, like, that's not good for us because it's pretty specific."},{"start":1070830,"end":1071310,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay."},{"start":1071310,"end":1084440,"speaker":"C","text":"I think I would very much like someone that has experience, especially in the community engagement piece.

Those are probably the two main ones."},{"start":1091440,"end":1095120,"speaker":"E","text":"My hunch is that with those cuts, we don't have a list that's longer than like six."},{"start":1095200,"end":1095480,"speaker":"A","text":"Right."},{"start":1095480,"end":1096800,"speaker":"E","text":"So we're not talking about like a."},{"start":1096800,"end":1098640,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, including the ones that are here, probably."},{"start":1098640,"end":1102880,"speaker":"E","text":"Right. So these three plus another three. And we've probably got everyone who's like top of funnel."},{"start":1102880,"end":1138250,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. Okay. So would you like to share those with the superintendent and I can work with them about doing an RFP offline and we'll make sure that we have, you know, if I'll explain the process of why they didn't make it in that and we'll be able to share that back that way. Okay. And then does it, does the timeline make sense? Does everyone sort of agree that we should be aiming for January, that's December interviews really, for a January hire."},{"start":1140410,"end":1148810,"speaker":"E","text":"Uncomfortably fast. Which is good. I mean it's. We need to be very thoughtful, but also we need to pick the person promptly to make sure they have time to honor."},{"start":1149210,"end":1162310,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. I think so far the timelines that the firms have sent in so far align with that. So. And it also gives us a little buffer. Like if we, if something goes a little bit longer, you have to do it in January. It's okay."},{"start":1163510,"end":1174150,"speaker":"D","text":"And then just for disclosure, talking about the timeline and the making ourselves available, unfortunately, I will not be present at the November 12th meeting.

And then I captured here, by the way, these are the criteria that I captured for the, the rubric that we were talking about. Placement in similar districts, placement in the Bay Area. Reach will reach out to other Districts, that's something that we just want to do. Examples of their community outreach that might be for the presentation when they come in.

So as we go one by one, our fellow board policy committee trustee King and Lee will be joining the conversation and of course, for the entire board to discuss as well.

Which is the board policy. 3320 claims and actions against the district. Sorry about that."},{"start":1450380,"end":1460860,"speaker":"I","text":"And trustee King or Lee, I am more than happy to start, but if you want to jump in, I'm going on previous habit, so you let me know.

So in regards to this particular board policy, it was primarily csba. However, we did get recommendations from our county council council to include a resolution in regards to when claims are submitted and so forth, which will come at the second reading. So once the board has had an opportunity to discuss that second reading will come with the resolution. So when that time occurs, that will. That will occur. So that was a contribution as well. And that was discussed also with the board policy committee. We also have another. Let's see what There was one more here regarding our our our county council also put into contribution about the last page on this particular policy. When into the first paragraph. If the board or superintendent when appropriate, allows the claim in whole or part or compromises the claim and the claimant accepts the amount allowed or offered to settle the claim, the board may require the claim as a settlement of the entire claim. So it was whether or not the superintendent was the designee or not. So a very small comment, but that was something that was additionally made. And then the last item was contributed by a staff member on page five, which was in accordance with the Government Code 935.4 that board delegates the superintendent the authority will allow compromise or settle claims. It originally stated 50,000, but it was requested to change it to $25,000 or less pursuant to any conditions of coverage in the district's JPA agreement or insurance coverage. And that was contributed by a staff member. The change from 50,000 to 25,000."},{"start":1575200,"end":1597220,"speaker":"A","text":"Got it. That makes sense. Thanks for the additional context. Does anyone have any questions or comments after all that explanation? Super helpful. So, okay, so now we'll move on to this time. It's sub item 5, which is first reading and discussion of the board policy and administrative regulation of 5145.13. And this is the response to immigration enforcement."},{"start":1598500,"end":1641270,"speaker":"I","text":"Our district for quite some time, certainly over the last year has followed through on these activities that are recommended in the response to immigration enforcement. And much of this was led by, of course, Dr. Baker and Director of Community schools and after school Programs Michelle Griffith and her team. So Michelle did have some contributions, but not substantial contributions, perhaps awarding a recommendation of will or shall that the board policy committee reviewed. But other than that, there. This was CSPA contribution. But I do know that there might be interest to open up this one for discussion based on the inquiries."},{"start":1643190,"end":1738150,"speaker":"A","text":"Discussion questions, yeah. So my only comment is that, wow, this is a really important policy and the ars are really important. I don't have any lived experience that can be applied by the people that this one really works for, but I certainly can offer empathy. And I guess the only the policy seems fine. So. And I know we don't approve the ARS at all, so I guess all I'd ask is like, do we think that they're the strongest ars that we could write? Are there ways to strengthen them? Again, I don't have a great suggestion here, but because it's so important, any kind of clarity there might, you know, would be great. Like, so as you're going through it, put it in. The only one that popped up to me was like, there's sometimes it talks about warrants and sometimes it's specific about judicial warrants. And I think it's only the judicial warrant that needs to be, has to be acted on, has to be signed by a judge. And I know in the AR it talks about, oh, make sure that you get the thing and document that it's signed by the judge. But, but that was the only one that I kind of was going through and thinking like, maybe that could be clarified. But it's just, it's such a, it's a crisis moment at the time that this AR is being applied. That, that, that. And I know you guys do a great job of training everybody, but I don't know, it was just so important that I wanted to at least say, so glad we have it. Thank you for all the work putting into it. And if there are any thoughts that you have about even strengthening it or making it easier for staff to implement, you know, by all means put them in there."},{"start":1738950,"end":1739510,"speaker":"E","text":"Okay."},{"start":1739590,"end":1798550,"speaker":"I","text":"There were the trainings that occurred that started in the winter last year was starting December from my memory was very detailed on what staff needed to do when these instances occurred. So much so with keywords, phone calls to certain people, attorney outreach. And then of course all of the steps at the school sites in most cases where there was concerns for this and a protocol and a flowchart and so we definitely feel that a thorough training occurred. I can go back to director Michelle Griffith and have her take another look at the ARS to see if there would be something we could add. We also want to be careful. We're not putting too specific detail in there for this particular purpose. Similar to other safety protocols that we have at the school sites where we wouldn't have that in an ar, but we can take another look at it. And that's something that we can even do offline."},{"start":1799030,"end":1805420,"speaker":"A","text":"Absolutely. It doesn't have to come back to us at all.

And we went forward and were very explicit that it's entirely different than it was a few years back when some of us were principals. And at that time, the immigration could. Could be on the sidewalk but could not enter the school grounds. And that happened during my tenure as a principal. And we right away informed parents, you know, just don't come to school. You know, we're going to be here until they leave and then we'll call you back. At that time, there was no texting or anything. So we'll call you. We'll call you now. Yes, they can come onto school grounds, but we were very well informed. Superintendents, along with our legal counsel. You must see a warrant or a subpoena that's signed by a judge. If it's not signed by a judge, you just. They're not going to talk to anyone. They'll talk to you and the principal and then we'll get there as soon as we can. But it's very explicit to all site administrators, they went forward and did the same thing with staff and teachers that were at the school site, too. So it's. We can put it in the AR that it has to be that documentation."},{"start":1887370,"end":1887620,"speaker":"A","text":"But."},{"start":1888090,"end":1957550,"speaker":"G","text":"But we have made it very clear. And even when there are remnants of rumors that are in the community, there's a van here. And we heard, yes, there was a van there. It was an RCS Redwood City police van. It was not immigration. They were not doing anything around the school. There was immigration and that came up. But there's that hotline that we call and we gave parents all that information of the hotline to. For them to call if they are suspicious. So we can adjust and make sure that that's in the ARS if that makes you feel more comfortable. I know principals. We're very fortunate that our principals and Our administrators at the school sites have not changed hands. They've changed hands, but it's been internal people that are now principals that also were vice principals that went through that training. And so we are now with a couple. We have three VPs. Correct. That are brand new to the district. And Michelle and I were talking that we should get them together and just go through this process with them because they were not around.

And that's how we're going to get to better results as a board. Right. And the prior version of this policy explicitly stated the board believes that effective board members have a responsibility to express themselves. Responsibility to express themselves, whether in agreement or disagreement with the board majority in ways that promote the board's ability to govern the district. And the red line struck that paragraph, and that kind of jumped out on me because it's exactly opposite what we talked about and kind of where we landed as an off site, that we have a duty of care to the district, to the children, to the staff, to go and speak up when we feel like the board is going the wrong direction.

If policy committee is requesting, like, can we take the spirit of what was discussed at the off site and really make it our own? Sure. That sounds awesome too. What I don't want to do is to step back from saying like, we should be a place where we should be disagreeing with each other cordially, respectfully, professionally, but like we should be a place where vigorous debate is happening."},{"start":2141020,"end":2145500,"speaker":"F","text":"I'm okay bringing this one back and editing it for a second reading."},{"start":2148380,"end":2188980,"speaker":"A","text":"Can I just clarify, what is the intent of this bylaw?

So I had a totally different read of that, which was out of scope. Take it out. Not a thing of like, hey, we're having a discussion here in the board meeting now maybe I, you know, I realized that's an assumption, so I'd like to check that assumption and see.

Working with NB5, our energy consultant River City evaluated replacement software from providers. So now we're seeking to standardize with a well established vendor that can support both public and fleet charging with power. Flex was identified as the ideal solution. Currently Powerflex software applied to would be applied to all the 84 chargers. 64 EV box chargers need replacements no longer supported BTC chargers at the three sites will remain Powerflex is compatible with them. Roy Cloud and Hoover installations already contracted with Powerflex, and that's through the solar project. Some key benefits, reliability, consistency and scalability across the district of the EV Chargers network. This will reduce their operational risk and staff time managing multiple vendors.

I will note that as of last year, effectively every single North American EV manufacturer has standardized on NACs. It's also an SE standard now. So if we are deploying these with an intended lifetime of 10, 15 years, by the time they're midway through their lifespan, substantially every car that they're going to be servicing from any manufacturer is going to be NAX compatible. And so I wouldn't want us to make a regrettable decision of going with a vendor that's using a standard that has some amount of adoption today, but over the course of the lifetime will become useless for its needs. So that's just my main concern. I want to make sure that we're future proofing our deployment and we are"},{"start":3050050,"end":3056210,"speaker":"H","text":"actually have Megan Daw, who's our NV consultant online. Megan, can you answer that?"},{"start":3058930,"end":3092850,"speaker":"J","text":"Good evening everyone. Totally hear and understand that NACS is now the standard. We just didn't want to be limiting in the sole source resolution because had we done this a year ago, you know, that or two years ago, that wouldn't have been the standard. So, you know, the market is rapidly changing, which is why we're in this predicament in the first place.

And so I and I spoke to Dr. Baker. It was nice, yet it was not very well attended. And so we talked about maybe getting try to get the parent engagement a little more. We had four schools represented, but you know, we have so many more. So that's just the thing. And I know that, you know, to, to me it makes me sad because it's like we want to help the community, we want to hear from them. And so I'm there all the time so that they can get motivated and show up. And so the department is trying making phone calls and sending emails and so it's just. But again, it was nice. It's just unfortunate. Katherine couldn't talk about the agenda because they don't have a quorum and also some of the topics they wanted to talk about.

The county office staff prepared a report just discussing and laying out some of the, what the issue is, the background, as well as outlining a few potential solutions as discussed through the prior task force meetings. It was, it was good to get the coalition of multiple districts within the county, get their thoughts, get some alignment that there's, you know, an issue that we're all facing and try to figure a path forward. We also had Capital Advisors, which is an education advocacy firm based in Sacramento, talk a little bit about political considerations for each of the approaches. And I think that was helpful for discussion in and potentially narrowing down what approach the county wants to focus on. I think where we landed was I think the next step is probably to really focus on an approach and then there's at least an appetite among some folks to potentially get legislation introduced for the next session. But I think there's quite a bit of work to go on there. So still moving forward, but that's the update."},{"start":3325400,"end":3341720,"speaker":"A","text":"Anything else?
