118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,800
heavily in the area of the P pandemic

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,840

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,680

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:43,120
teachers prior to um this money came and

123
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:44,880
I'm sorry prior to prior to the time of

124
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,840
these dollars we did have some reading

125
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,639
teachers at the school site but not at

126
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,919
the extent to what we have at this point

127
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:53,080
in time uh we have additional

128
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:57,120
instructional assistance tutoring

129
00:05:53,080 --> 00:06:00,080
programs have become in existence uh we

130
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,280
did have some tutoring prior to covid

131
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,680
but it was very limited summer school we

132
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,120
had more dollars for summer school with

133
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,599
this money prior to the dollars coming

134
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,560
in we did have a summer school program

135
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:14,599
but it wasn't to the extent that we have

136
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,680
been

137
00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:19,560
experiencing we've had the adoption of

138
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,199
instructional materials and our teachers

139
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,199
and staff who are in the audience do

140
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:25,919
definitely understand that because there

141
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:29,000
has been new math materials that have

142
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,479
been adopted for our primary grades and

143
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,840
then we ALS so adopted hegerty

144
00:06:31,479 --> 00:06:36,800
especially in the primary grades for our

145
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,319
reading instruction in phonics and then

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,880
we brought in newcomer teachers other

147
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:45,599
staff members in the and at the school

148
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,599
sites and

149
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:53,919
materials so this is a big piece of the

150
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,319
pandemic recovery that still exists

151
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:00,000
today and will continue to exist for a

152
00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:01,960
few more years the extended day programs

153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,120
the extended day programs are at each

154
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,000
School site and it's in some form or

155
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,879
fashion some of the school sites

156
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,160
have more resources available to them

157
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,919
due to the number of unduplicated

158
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,639
students when I'm talking about

159
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:19,800
unduplicated students I'm talking about

160
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:21,879
those students who would qualify for

161
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,919
free and reduced lunch those students

162
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:30,440
who are El's those students who are

163
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:32,840
homeless so this these dollars are in

164
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,199
existence now and they will continue for

165
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160
a few more

166
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:39,440
years next

167
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:43,560
slide we also with dollars from this

168
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,319
grant we purchase diagnostic tools again

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,199
instructional materials and we did

170
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,639
curriculum

171
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:55,319
adoptions next

172
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:58,159
slide a big piece of the dollars from

173
00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:00,520
the pandemic recovery and the federal

174
00:07:58,159 --> 00:08:03,479
grants was each School site has a mental

175
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,360
health clinician one one there are some

176
00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:08,280
of our priority School sites that have

177
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,440
additional clinicians that is Hoover

178
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,599
Garfield and Taft and I believe um

179
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,879
McKinley was also going to start if I'm

180
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:19,759
not mistaken Roosevelt it was Roosevelt

181
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:22,000
that's another priority site and when I

182
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:24,840
say priority site that has to do with

183
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,319
our unduplicated pupils those students

184
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,199

00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:32,560
multilingual those students again who

187
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,399
could qualify for free and Rel reduced

188
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,640
lunch and those students who are

189
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,640
homeless next

190
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:44,519
slide this

191
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:47,920
was Major piece of the money that we

192
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:50,399
received for covid testing the personal

193
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,240
protective equipment and the facilities

194
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,399
equipment needed during that covid time

195
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,399
for those of you that are in the

196
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,360
audience that were with us during the

197
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:03,399
time when we came back from being

198
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,360
at home with virtual instruction there

199
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:08,839
were different items put into place by

200
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:12,959
the state of California and then the

201
00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:15,160
samel um office of Health Department put

202
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:17,519
some other restrictions on school sites

203
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,360
with the different types of PPE

204
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,000
equipment that you needed to have at

205
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,800
each School site and also how the

206
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,480
facility equipment at each School site

207
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,880
was going to be um cleaned after

208
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,320
students left

209
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,320
so dollars were spent in that

210
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:41,079
respect this is a major topic that we

211
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,600
have um that has just come to us last

212
00:09:41,079 --> 00:09:47,880
year proposition

213
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:51,440
28 and um let's get into that

214
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,560
info so this was passed on November 8th

215
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,720
of

216
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:59,440
2022 so the voters did pass this which

217
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,640
provides additional funding for the Arts

218
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,120
music education in public schools when

219
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:10,200
this first came to be

220
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:11,600
about we received dollars and uh last

221
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920
year when we received the dollars there

222
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,040
were some questions about the dollars

223
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,640
and how they were going to be utilized

224
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,079
so there was the previous assistant

225
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,399
superintendent contacted the state

226
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:25,480
department and the state department said

227
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:30,079
as long as your job description had some

228
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:34,560
items on it regarding um anything to do

229
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:36,839
with steam and art you could utilize the

230
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:39,399
dollars in that fashion and we made sure

231
00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:41,880
that that was in

232
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:45,079
place receiving the

233
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,959
dollars we moved forward and we moveed

234
00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:50,600
forward in that direction this year the

235
00:10:47,959 --> 00:10:55,240
County Office of Education has

236
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:58,560
stipulated a different format for us and

237
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,639
even though at that time and we have in

238
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:04,000
written form at from that state

239
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:07,040
department official things have changed

240
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,480
in regard to the grant dollars and how

241
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,760
they're spent so you will see um the

242
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,560
district has received a little over a

243
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:19,160
million dollars and this is divided it's

244
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:21,079
not divided into 12 schools it's divided

245
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,399
by the number of students that are at

246
00:11:21,079 --> 00:11:28,639
each School site and so it's going to be

247
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:29,720
manipulated each year and then Anna do

248
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:32,680
you want to show me this is the next

249
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:36,320
slide have piece

250
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:41,399
on so let's look at

251
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,680
um what we thought we were going to get

252
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,680
in

253
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:49,120
2324 we had a different number than this

254
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,240
but it was all changed but now look what

255
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,279
we're getting in

256
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:57,440
2425 when you look at these dollars

257
00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:00,399
these dollars depending at the school

258
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,000
site that you are at and I have a slide

259
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:06,720
coming up that shows the average teacher

260
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:10,160
salary there it it's going to be very

261
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,839
difficult to hire a

262
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,720
1.0 you have to make sure that when

263
00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:18,880
we're hiring our teachers and our staff

264
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,519
that you include not only the salary but

265
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:25,279
the benefits that come along with

266
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:27,440
it and here are listed what the school

267
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:31,360
sites received for the

268
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:34,760
2324 and that that dollar amount that

269
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,720
you see for 23 24 did change compared to

270
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,639
what we originally received which it

271
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,160
fluctuated up and down depending at the

272
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:41,920
school site you were at and so you see

273
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,440
for

274
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,440
2425 the dollars that were going to be

275
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,279
given Anna would you like to just to add

276
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,680
and that can change so and the reason it

277
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:57,240
can change is because everything's

278
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:59,959
funded at the state about what it it's

279
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,839
based on the money we get from from the

280
00:12:59,959 --> 00:13:05,320
state on Prop 98 which fund it so it's

281
00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:07,399
1% of that so if the state reduces that

282
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,399
amount what we get this number will be

283
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:10,639
reduced so I just want to make sure that

284
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,839
that's one of the things that happen

285
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:14,480
just currently you want to tell the

286
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:16,560
story that there's we're not even on the

287
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,279
yeah so they had put out the projections

288
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:21,760
on there were out came out just recently

289
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:24,240
at the beend of June um beginning of

290
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,440
February and now they're no longer there

291
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,320
which means there may be some changes at

292
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,800
the state level of what that money will

293
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,000
actually be for that allocation so

294
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,040
that's just some of the things because

295
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,360
it's all based on whatever is funded on

296
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,320
that proposition idea for school so it

297
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,040
can change up and down and this year it

298
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,720
already went down about it was it was

299
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,399
about three positions so three teaching

300
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,839
positions that's what I can say so we

301
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,959
had to put that into a different fund to

302
00:13:48,839 --> 00:13:52,360
help supp that just so that you guys

303
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:54,839
know so that that was something that

304
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,839
happened just

305
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:01,839
recently next slide so this is a slide

306
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,800
here where we wanted to make sure we

307
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:05,199
know our our teachers definitely know

308
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,759
this because this is a

309
00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:12,320
certificated um amount that at the entry

310
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:16,800
level for our teachers that we start at

311
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:20,160
$64,000 41 and with plus 25 years that's

312
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:22,279
the top of the salary schedule and when

313
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,800
you're talking about benefits when I say

314
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,800
this is not the

315
00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:33,240
$4,041 actually is turns out to be um

316
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320
with the 10 years of experience with an

317
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,519
average

318
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,120
salary that we're looking at a teacher's

319
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:40,800
average salary the 64 is the beginning

320
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,240
but we base this on the average and

321
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,079
right now the average salary this

322
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:50,639
average salary right here of the

323
00:14:45,079 --> 00:14:50,639
$94,700 does not include

324
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:57,600
benefits so if we were to go back to the

325
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,759
previous slide it's very difficult for a

326
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,839
site level with the the dollars that

327
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:06,000
they are receiving to hire a one

328
00:15:02,839 --> 00:15:10,880
fulltime equivalent staff

329
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:15,040
member for this program it has to be

330
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:19,320
augmented with measure U dollars uh sip

331
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,959
dollar PTA PTO dollars um can't use

332
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,800
title $1 doll for it because that is not

333
00:15:21,959 --> 00:15:25,800
part of the requirements for title

334
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:33,959
one next slide we can go from

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,880
okay the process for planning so we

336
00:15:33,959 --> 00:15:39,800
started we knew um back when we received

337
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,680
these dollars and these dollars were

338
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:46,639
received back in 20 what 20

339
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:49,120
21 we knew at that time they were

340
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,600
$1s and I know Mr Weekley you were not

341
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,199
on the board at the time but I had told

342
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,240
the board I don't want the onetime

343
00:15:52,199 --> 00:15:56,480
dollars and there's a reason for those

344
00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:01,000
onetime dollars is because they go

345
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,959
away um there is a superintendent on the

346
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,720
peninsula who many years

347
00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:07,600
ago uh and it's happening again this

348
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,240
year there are trailer bills and there

349
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,079
are one time dollars I came that

350
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,440
superintendent got the permission from

351
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:17,720
his board not to accept him for that

352
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,600
reason um so with that being said we

353
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,040
were very happy to receive the money uh

354
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,839
there's so many things that we could do

355
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,120
with the dollars if we were funding to

356
00:16:22,839 --> 00:16:30,680
this in this fashion year in year

357
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:34,279
out but everyone knew that it was one

358
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:36,720
time so as we started planning and

359
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:39,360
working with our site

360
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:43,600
administrators to look at dollars that

361
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:45,759
they had at their School site we I will

362
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,199
say we met originally with site

363
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:50,440
principles back in January to make them

364
00:16:48,199 --> 00:16:52,600
aware that this was moving forward they

365
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,160
were to go back and meet and I know one

366
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,720
of my school one of our

367
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,000
schools had a little um difficulty uh

368
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,040
meeting with the site Council didn't

369
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,919
really materialize but every other

370
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,880
school did to warn where we were going

371
00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:10,679
and what support we needed from school

372
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:14,319
site councils because they knew what

373
00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:19,600
dollars were going to be lessened over

374
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:21,319
the over um the next school year so we

375
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,000
also wanted our

376
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,880
elac participants those parents who

377
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,640
participate in elac for those students

378
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,760
who are multilingual there is an elac

379
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,080
group group that parents attend meetings

380
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,160
to understand the rationale and the

381
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,799
reasons for this moving in that

382
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,600
direction now in future slides I'm going

383
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:45,679
to show you what's funded at school

384
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:49,280
sites I did not put on those slides

385
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:51,240
um how you can augment those dollars

386
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,679
because it's different at each School

387
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,919
site you can augment it with measure U

388
00:17:54,679 --> 00:18:00,280
dollars which are fantastic because some

389
00:17:56,919 --> 00:18:04,039
of the schools receive a hefty amount

390
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:06,080
you can augment it with PTO PTA dollars

391
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,960
you can augment it with Grant dollars

392
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,039
which we are utilizing right now at some

393
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,760
of our school sites for some of our

394
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:17,320
staff but at this point in time we we're

395
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:20,200
at a junct junter where we need to look

396
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,960
at the monies that we are going to

397
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,559
receive and the monies that are no

398
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:30,760
longer going to exist next

399
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:30,760
SL so adjustment to the services

400
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:39,200
so title $1 do move forward um at

401
00:18:36,159 --> 00:18:41,760
certain School sites not all SCH School

402
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,600
sites so the title one dollars that we

403
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,520
receive have restrictions and guidelines

404
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:52,640
that one must follow we just went

405
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:54,679
through a federal monitoring review in

406
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,799
January

407
00:18:54,679 --> 00:19:00,919
to view how we spent the dollars did we

408
00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:03,640
follow the requirements and there were

409
00:19:00,919 --> 00:19:06,760
some suggestions that were made for us

410
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:10,440
moving forward um starting in the next

411
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:13,360
school year here is the uh amount of

412
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:17,120
prop $28 that we've

413
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:19,520
received measure you dollars is a hefty

414
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:21,640
amount and that those dollars go

415
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,720
directly to the school site the district

416
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,840
office does not have anything to do with

417
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,720
it those dollars except for to approve

418
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:32,640
your plans and then those plans go

419
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,280
before an an outside committee that

420
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,559
looks to make sure that we're spending

421
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,280
the money correctly and that outside

422
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,960
committee is made up of parents and

423
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,400
community

424
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,039
members and you all this is all

425
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840
dependent on the number of students at

426
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:48,159
your school

427
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,480
site the l cap and the site

428
00:19:48,159 --> 00:19:54,000
concentration dollars those are dollars

429
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:56,880
that uh Miss Herrera uh will oversee and

430
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,679
she is in the process of this point in

431
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:03,520
time with the lcap starting on Friday

432
00:20:00,679 --> 00:20:05,559
with our Spanish-speaking population who

433
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,520
will have in-person meetings to go

434
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:11,360
through the lcap and to determine how

435
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,840
these dollars should be spent next

436
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:17,120
year and when we're looking at lcap you

437
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,120
also have to remember we're looking at

438
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,799
the

439
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:23,200
unduplicated students that's what the

440
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:27,240
dollars were meant

441
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,240
for and the dollar amounts are

442
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,960

now I'm going to go school by school and

465
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,559
we're looking and when a school comes up

466
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:42,080
and you see Title One you'll that's the

467
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:47,559
school that has title $1 so um as you

468
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:50,200
look at adante C Lane you see that um

469
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,880
they are going to use their prop $28 for

470
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,000
a 05 steam

471
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,159
person you see that they're also going

472
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,919
to use measure U dolls for a reading

473
00:21:57,159 --> 00:22:04,600
specialist and they're to use their alap

474
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:08,679
dollars for uh a0 25 music

475
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:12,760
person when you look at this this was

476
00:22:08,679 --> 00:22:15,080
number one developed and thought of by

477
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:18,880
School site I'm talking teachers and I'm

478
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,520
talking as uh classified staff and then

479
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,320
it went to the school site

480
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:26,840
Council that was the very first email I

481
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:30,559
got from a parent was when this took

482
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,120
place so this is for the the 24 25 year

483
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:35,360
this does not

484
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:39,120
include their PTO

485
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:40,840
dollars and it does not include uh any

486
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,120
type of grant funding that we're looking

487
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,679
at at this point in time

488
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:48,159
either sure and when you guys look at

489
00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:50,000
the yellow which is alcap so music is

490
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:51,919
just a portion of it there are other

491
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,840
funding things that we put in alcap for

492
00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:57,440
each of the sites that are not displayed

493
00:22:53,840 --> 00:23:00,440
on here just so you know

494
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,440
okay

495
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,919
Clifford you again Clifford just became

496
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,559
a title one year before last if I'm not

497
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:14,480
mistaken and you see that steam they

498
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:16,919
want a full-time steam person they um

499
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,159
the reading Specialists they still need

500
00:23:16,919 --> 00:23:23,520
to work with their School site funding

501
00:23:19,159 --> 00:23:25,919
regarding that and um they have a PTO

502
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,159
and their Sky site counsil need to go

503
00:23:25,919 --> 00:23:30,400
through this one more time and you see

504
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:34,000
music at this point in time they have

505
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:37,760
not elected right now but that does not

506
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,279
mean that they aren't going to do that

507
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,279
correct on

508
00:23:41,679 --> 00:23:46,320
it

509
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:49,760
Garfield Garfield title

510
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:53,080
one uh steam they'll have one full-time

511
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,440
person a reading specialist there are

512
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,760
two there is a I know there's a reason I

513
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,080
know this is we have a grant out for

514
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,919
Garfield at this point point in time

515
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:05,360
Also regarding uh another reading or

516
00:24:01,919 --> 00:24:07,880
math coach we will not know about that

517
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:09,320
soft funding again from Grant dollars

518
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,000
until probably

519
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,000
miday and that music at this point in

520
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
time there is no

521
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,240

believe they have this year isn't it

525
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:32,039
they're going to maintain that they are

526
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:35,520

and to the the public my name is Wendy

574
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,880
Kelly I'm Deputy superintendent of human

575
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:09,240
resources and I am here tonight to talk

576
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,960
to you about employee transition and so

577
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,880
you were privy to all of the board memos

578
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,320
that laid out the position reductions

579
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,200
and that's a very legal Eed document we

580
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,320
do know there's a human Spirit behind

581
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,679
every every person that's here we valued

582
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:27,919
everybody and their contributions to the

583
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:32,399
district um with my team I have the task

584
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:34,600
of of once the the board takes action

585
00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:36,559
managing how our employees will fare

586
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,399
through this process and so that

587
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:42,039
requires the start of multiple and many

588
00:27:39,399 --> 00:27:44,279
conversations that will come to be the

589
00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:47,519
good news behind this believe it or not

590
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:50,120
there's a slight Silver Lining is that

591
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:53,000
for almost all

592
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:56,600
individuals there will be a place in our

593
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:01,320
district so the employee transition them

594
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:04,200
in itself um will very likely work out

595
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,960
for many people and I say that because

596
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,679
each year we

597
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,240
have um a certain number of vacancies

598
00:28:08,679 --> 00:28:13,039
approximately 60 certificated teaching

599
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,559
positions a handful of

600
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:20,200
management um and are classified

601
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:22,480
currently as at 53 expected as of June

602
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:25,120
and that's with typical attrition

603
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,559
retirements resignations we have the

604
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,519
start of that process right now um for

605
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:32,840
classified it's an ongoing process all

606
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:36,240
year long as as people are hired into

607
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,840
positions and leave us and then for

608
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,360
certificated the typical hiring season

609
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:45,519
starts about now and goes in through the

610
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,919
summer so that is that is the good news

611
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:50,720
but it is a difficult Journey you know

612
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:53,799
as people are are leaving their home

613
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:56,480
site and possibly traveling to other

614
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:59,039
sites uh we started the conversations

615
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,440
already with teachers through our work

616
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:05,279
with um rcta a president Aon wasburn is

617
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,360
here in the audience tonight and we will

618
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:09,279
be continuing forth on March 21st with

619
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,279
classified that's a formal meeting with

620
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:15,440
classified uh members in CCA Donna

621
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:18,559
Solario who's here tonight as well and

622
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,120
then I work with management so all of

623
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:23,320
those very important uh conversations

624
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,279
will be happening but I feel very

625
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,320
confident in knowing that the valued

626
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:30,679
employees that we have will still remain

627
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,799
with us as we progress forward unless of

628
00:29:30,679 --> 00:29:34,720
course they choose to leave us for other

629
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:38,080
personal reasons they move or what have

630
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:40,640
you uh so that is that is good news it's

631
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,240
always hard to manage this in HR right I

632
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,880
I get the joy of bringing people in and

633
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:49,240
I'm I'm saddened when things have to

634
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:51,559
change the magnitude of services will be

635
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,240
different next year but they still will

636
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:56,080
remain and so I'm pleased to know that

637
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,640
we have a bright staff that of admin

638
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,320
team and site councils and the and the

639
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,559
staff that go with it that will help

640
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,480
make that Journey great for kids so

641
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:07,120
thank you for that hard work um I am not

642
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,679
going to give you a crash course in HR

643
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,480
tonight because that would take days but

644
00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:14,120
I do want to point out a couple of

645
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,320
important pieces so Anna do you mind

646
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320
next

647
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,200
slide

648
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,679
please the one

649
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:33,159
prior sorry thank you my screen looks

650
00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:36,600
different so in the world of HR this is

651
00:30:33,159 --> 00:30:39,279
a very short crash course we look at

652
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,799
positions and employees as two different

653
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:44,600
Pathways okay and and I'm telling you

654
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:47,799
this for tonight because tonight the

655
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,760
board is considering these positions

656
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:52,799
that were just listed in the

657
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:55,480
resolution and it looks like a halftime

658
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:58,919
person here a 0.25 there and so forth

659
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,320
and we're managing this districtwide and

660
00:30:58,919 --> 00:31:03,559
it is true the positions that we had

661
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,519
this year will be reduced assuming

662
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:08,200
approval uh for next school year so that

663
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:09,559
is so I look at these like buckets

664
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,200
essentially and then people become

665
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:15,720
attached to a

666
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:18,360
bucket so once the positions decrease

667
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,760
then we shift gears and look at

668
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,080
employees okay so the employees in our

669
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:26,159
district based on their credentials

670
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,080
their licenses and all of the um

671
00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:30,720
criteria needed to serve students and

672
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,279
their roles have an opportunity to

673
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:36,720
transfer into other positions that can

674
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:38,799
happen right away with these meetings or

675
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:42,159
can happen over the period of

676
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:44,440
time uh people can also choose to not

677
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:46,440
choose a position and if they do so

678
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,720
they're placed on what's called a 39

679
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,600
Monon rehire list and that's an ed code

680
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,080
but essentially the gist of that is to

681
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,039
say that should you come back to our

682
00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:00,039
district you do have the same seniority

683
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:02,360
rights and salary within a 39-month

684
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:04,240
period so those are the conversations we

685
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,240
go over with people because if there

686
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,240
isn't a desirable position then they

687
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,480
need to make a choice at that time for

688
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,039
themselves uh but of course once again

689
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,840
we're always about recruitment we would

690
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:16,600
love to have the people that we have

691
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,159
trained that we've worked side by side

692
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:22,080
with to continue forth in our district

693
00:32:19,159 --> 00:32:24,240
the next slide please so with that I

694
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,840
wanted to bring some data at this moment

695
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,760
in time and in HR the moments change

696
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,799
frequently

697
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:34,720
we have 21 certificated displaced

698
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:37,960
teachers and I say that with an

699
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:41,000
explanation the PKS board resolution

700
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,480
shows many more positions but in the

701
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,080
course of February because we've been

702
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,919
having these conversations for many

703
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:50,679
months with

704
00:32:46,919 --> 00:32:53,720
administrators and um internally

705
00:32:50,679 --> 00:32:56,880
certainly what principes do because

706
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,639
these are primarily at school sites um

707
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,880
and other district office off staff but

708
00:32:58,639 --> 00:33:04,679
the principles primarily are working

709
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,360
with focusing on what the Staffing list

710
00:33:04,679 --> 00:33:09,679
will look like for

711
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,720
2425 and in the rcta contract our Union

712
00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:14,840
contract there's a deadline of February

713
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,039
28th so once that those conversations

714
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,159
happen a staffing list is posted then we

715
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:20,320
know what the true vacancies are moving

716
00:33:19,159 --> 00:33:22,600
forward for

717
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,720
2425 because everyone at the school site

718
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,279
has been settled okay they might choose

719
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,200
grade they move grade levels or what

720
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:32,120
have you

721
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,039
um what principles decided to do in this

722
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,600
time period was recognize that there

723
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:38,720
were very valuable staff on their School

724
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,240
site with their own site

725
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,600
seniority um working in a union eni

726
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:46,440
environment the seniority is important

727
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,600
that could already be absorbed into

728
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,159
known vacancies and that's very typical

729
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,080
that happens in February within the

730
00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:55,639
Union contract article

731
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,840
11 and at the end of February they give

732
00:33:55,639 --> 00:34:01,880
to me a list of all vacancies so on

733
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:06,039
February 29th this year a leap year we

734
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:08,560
had 27 certificated positions

735
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:10,679
open when everyone was settled and The

736
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,040
Funnel of all the people you know sort

737
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:15,960
of shook out it came down to 21 people

738
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:19,480
that were still displaced and didn't yet

739
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:21,359
have their home for next year so rcta

740
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,560
President Aaron wurn and myself met to

741
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:26,560
work out how could we start

742
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,760
communicating this and we started um

743
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,599
advertising the

744
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,440
uh certificated vacancies to our

745
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,440
displaced teachers and that that term

746
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,839
sounds so horrible but it's a moment in

747
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,159
in time and then they find their new

748
00:34:36,839 --> 00:34:42,240
home and so we're almost completed with

749
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:44,159
that list we have about six to seven

750
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:45,480
more people to place it's just

751
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:47,919
communication and trying to get through

752
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,760
our work week together uh so I'm

753
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:52,399
expecting that to happen to be completed

754
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,879
any day now and then everyone will be

755
00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:58,119
settled there are a couple of positions

756
00:34:54,879 --> 00:35:00,560
in which we have people that um may not

757
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:03,200
have a position due to their unique

758
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,359
credential or lure but once again they

759
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,200
can be put on the 39-month rehire list

760
00:35:05,359 --> 00:35:09,119
and the moment a position comes up we

761
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,040
contact them and they have the

762
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:15,320
availability to return so I that's good

763
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:18,520
news the second item is our classified

764
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:21,480
uh staff so I will be speaking about

765
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:24,160
classified uh reductions in the next

766
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,640
board agenda item but I did want to

767
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,440
point out that we have 25 classified

768
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,839
displaced staff in 53 classified

769
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:35,680
positions and within the CSEA Union

770
00:35:32,839 --> 00:35:38,960
contract it's a different type of

771
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,599
transfer process but we do have options

772
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,640
for employees so that feels good as

773
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:46,680
well we have one displace certificated

774
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,880
management employee after everyone

775
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,119
transferred into open positions for

776
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,079
management and we have one management

777
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:55,160
position available so likely that person

778
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:57,720
will move into that position so that

779
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,800
will be a closed item and then for

780
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:03,000
classified

781
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:05,119
management um we have a handful of our

782
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,040
uh Mental Health Counselors that will be

783
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:09,760
moving from 1.0 to 0.5 and so I'm

784
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,079
scheduling that meeting for next week so

785
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:15,400
that we can discuss options and so at

786
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:18,000
this moment we have almost enough

787
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,680
positions but if somebody resigns or

788
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,760
retires through the end of the year then

789
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,000
the displaced person will have the

790
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,880
opportunity to take that position and

791
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,720
that's assuming no other

792
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:31,200
resignations so I did to give you just

793
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:32,960
an add a glance moment in time of what

794
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,040
we're managing right now based on what

795
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,560
the

796
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:40,280
proposed um reductions will be I know

797
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,280
that my my realm doesn't affect program

798
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,000
as much any longer that would be honor

799
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Herrera and others but I'm definitely

800
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,359
here to support the employees as all of

801
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,440
us are in the transition so that

802
00:36:48,359 --> 00:36:53,480
continued Services can still occur maybe

803
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,480
not at the magnitude that we've enjoyed

804
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,280
over the last few uh years which has

805
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,119
been quite amazing uh but we still

806
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,680
strive to ensure that our students are

807
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:05,240
served well and I know our hardworking

808
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,640
employees also feel the same and that

809
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:10,000
leades us to this last bullet point um

810
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,839
supporting staff into the transition it

811
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,119
can be a little shocking to move from

812
00:37:11,839 --> 00:37:16,880
one site to another so we want to make

813
00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:19,599
sure that uh happens as seamlessly as

814
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:22,119
possible there are some union benefits

815
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:23,920
in the contract um for moving and so

816
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:25,760
forth that of course we will make sure

817
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,839
people are supported and within their

818
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,119
own role their new roles training and so

819
00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:32,839
forth so that's already put in

820
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:34,319
place so that concludes uh the

821
00:37:32,839 --> 00:37:37,880
information I was going to be presenting

822
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:40,520

board policy okay um and I actually

860
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:24,440

ones that are filled out online might be

862
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,240

00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:30,680

Chan might be

869
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,800
online

870
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:54,839
yep hi Ester go ahead you can unmute

871
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:58,040
yourself hi everyone um I am a parent at

872
00:39:54,839 --> 00:40:01,800
Orion Alterna alternative school in the

873
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,359
parent Co-op um uh in the parent Co-op

874
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,079
and I have a kindergarten and a second

875
00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:09,160
grader um I have to say seeing the list

876
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:12,720
of layups have really been a shock um to

877
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:16,400
see the amount of cuts across um all the

878
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:19,920
district across the district and knowing

879
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:23,400
that the reading level of the students

880
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:25,720
already um low and seeing that the

881
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,359
reading specialist is also going to be

882
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:30,200
um the the ft is going to to be cut I I

883
00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:33,359
think it's very disheartening as a

884
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:36,560
mother as a parent um and and really I

885
00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:38,040
I'm also on the PTO board at Orion I I

886
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,880
know that we have worked really hard in

887
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,119
our fundraising efforts to really help

888
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,960
supplement the needs of our school and

889
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:47,040
our students and I'm just I I'm really

890
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:50,800
urging the district and the Board of

891
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:52,720
Trustees to um think of creative ways to

892
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:56,040
help support the students better to

893
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:58,319
support the families better um they I I

894
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,960
know Orion is not TI one school and I

895
00:40:58,319 --> 00:41:02,640
know there are many needs in other

896
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:06,400
schools across the Reb City District and

897
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:09,560
I I and I I I really appreciate a lot of

898
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:12,720
the um presentations earlier on how the

899
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:15,119
fundings came through to begin with um

900
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:17,640
but I I also hear what Dr Baker

901
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:19,720
mentioned like you did not prefer these

902
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:23,000
one-time payments because they will go

903
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:25,119
away but I really urge the district and

904
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,480
the Board of Trustees on really coming

905
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:29,839
up on creative plans to think of a

906
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,079
long-term goal that is sustainable and

907
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:36,000
that can continue to help our students

908
00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:37,359
and not have these positions that are

909
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,359
absolutely

910
00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:43,200
necessary to be taken away thank

912
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,760

00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:19,280
help we can get so I've told them to

925
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:22,000
come outside we can no I'm just no but

926
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:24,160
seriously yeah all right um as a parent

927
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,640
in Redwood City I am Gravely concerned

928
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,400
about the proposed cuts to music

929
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:31,040
programs as they are life to many

930
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,800
students certainly was for me uh

931
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,640
learning musical instrument gave me the

932
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,680
confidence that I could work hard and

933
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,400
get better in better at something in a

934
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,839
fulfilling way that no other subject

935
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,520
could now I know what was actually

936
00:42:41,839 --> 00:42:46,200
happening in my brain at the time

937
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,200
deliberate practice of the Arts is

938
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,200
scientifically proven to stimulate

939
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,359
neuroplasticity the brain's ability to

940
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,520
change and

941
00:42:52,359 --> 00:42:57,680
grow now voters overwhelmingly support

942
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,400
the need for expanded Arts education

943
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,240
in

944
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:05,359
California yet the proposed Cuts clearly

945
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:08,839
demonstrate poor planning of prop 28

946
00:43:05,359 --> 00:43:11,119
funds uh in at least seven schools this

947
00:43:08,839 --> 00:43:13,559
legislation was designed to expand Arts

948
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:15,040
and Music education not as a safety net

949
00:43:13,559 --> 00:43:18,040
for Budget

950
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,839
shortfalls I understand the board faces

951
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:24,440
difficult financial decisions however

952
00:43:20,839 --> 00:43:26,839
backt tracking on Arts education is a

953
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:29,440
gut-wrenching solution with potentially

954
00:43:26,839 --> 00:43:31,559
long term consequences these programs

955
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,000
are not luxuries they are essential

956
00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:37,240
components of a well-rounded education

957
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,480
thank you thank you

958
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:41,480
Thomas our next speaker is Hannah

959
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:46,559
ma in

960
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,040
person good evening president Lawson Dr

961
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:54,119
Baker board members um my name is Hannah

962
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,559
Ma I'm the parent of a student at a Ry

963
00:43:54,119 --> 00:43:59,640
alternative but I'm here to raise some

964
00:43:56,559 --> 00:44:02,400
questions about the the overall um

965
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,200
proposal and not just related to Orion

966
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,400
first I want to name that while this is

967
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,680
a very cold proposal for the parent

968
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:12,680
Community to hear I imagine it must be

969
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:16,119
just as difficult for all of you um

970
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,559
first I'm curious um I was curious about

971
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:19,920
whether the proposed cut reflected

972
00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:22,200
Staffing that were added after the

973
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,839
influx of funding due to covid and Dr

974
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:27,160
Baker addressed that in his presentation

975
00:44:24,839 --> 00:44:28,359
um second I'm curious whether I think it

976
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,720
be helpful for families to understand

977
00:44:28,359 --> 00:44:33,440
what alternatives were explored before

978
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:35,079
you propos the Staffing cuts for example

979
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,079
could we consider more affordable

980
00:44:35,079 --> 00:44:41,280
vendors for school lunches or

981
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:43,160
Transportation um or rather than

982
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,599
providing technology across the board to

983
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:48,720
all students consider prioritizing

984
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:50,280
unduplicated students um third I I do

985
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:53,280
have concerns around the distribution of

986
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,160
cuts across the district if I read the

987
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,319
proposal correctly Garfield and

988
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Northstar both have roughly the the same

989
00:44:57,319 --> 00:45:03,400
number of students however the proposed

990
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:05,760
cuts um from Garfield is 5.5 FTE while

991
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:09,559
the proposed cuts from Northstar is

992
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:11,240
2.7 and I was heartened to hear that um

993
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:14,160
displaced teachers May likely land a

994
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:15,599
home in a new position but um the

995
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,640
previous parent mentioned the term

996
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:20,640
lifeline and I do know that for some

997
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,599
young people and children certain

998
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,119
teachers can be lifelines for them it

999
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:25,319
took time for them to build that trust

1000
00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:27,359
and relationship with them and their

1001
00:45:25,319 --> 00:45:29,400
families so it would be a huge

1002
00:45:27,359 --> 00:45:32,119
disruption for them to lose that person

1003
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,280
in their on campus and lastly I just

1004
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:35,280
want to urge the board and school

1005
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,319
leaders to think creatively about ways

1006
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,839
to generate

1007
00:45:36,319 --> 00:45:41,599
Revenue um for example could we lease

1008
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:44,440
out classrooms or other facilities

1009
00:45:41,599 --> 00:45:46,720
during weekends school breaks after

1010
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,680
school or reach out to companies who

1011
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:50,040
recently experienced huge layoff to see

1012
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,240
whether they could donate the laptops

1013
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,160
that they no longer need um thank you

1014
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:55,319

1015
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,760

1034
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,960
almost got it and I'm the mental health

1035
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:17,599
counselor at Taft Community School a

1036
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,119
position which has been cut to 0. five

1037
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:21,240
I'm speaking tonight because there have

1038
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:23,079
been equal cuts across five sites and

1039
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:25,800
Mental Health Counselors but the needs

1040
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:27,800
at these sites are not equal tff

1041
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,760
students are proud learning ERS half

1042
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,319
students are creative many are

1043
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,920
multilingual and all are able to achieve

1044
00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:35,200
any goal they set for themselves with

1045
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:38,160
appropriate

1046
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,599
support at Taff 94% of students are

1047
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:43,359
Hispanic Latino 98% are students of

1048
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:44,559
color 89% are eligible to receive free

1049
00:47:43,359 --> 00:47:46,800
and reduced

1050
00:47:44,559 --> 00:47:48,280
lunch many of our students have

1051
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,880
experienced a really high level of

1052
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,640
trauma related to migration having to

1053
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:55,480
translate for their parents at legal

1054
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,880
immigration uh appointments um having

1055
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,040
family members parents who live in

1056
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,079
another country um many of our students

1057
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,760
experience poverty um are tripled up in

1058
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:05,040
their homes doubled up in their homes

1059
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,559
many of our students have experience

1060
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,400
discrimination or their parents have and

1061
00:48:07,559 --> 00:48:11,240
students carry this unresolved trauma

1062
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,160
with them uh like a heavy weight in

1063
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:14,960
their backpack every day at school and

1064
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,960
they carry it in their stomachs as we

1065
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,680
know as counselors like a a buzzing

1066
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,559
energy that's distracting them from

1067
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:23,160
Focus right so the the role of the

1068
00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:25,200
district mental health counselor is to

1069
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,960
ensure that every student at Taft

1070
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,200
receives an appropriate and tiered level

1071
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,559
support for their needs so every single

1072
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,319
student at Taft receives and students

1073
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:35,440
with a higher level of trauma receive

1074
00:48:33,319 --> 00:48:37,319
individual or group counseling ensuring

1075
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,599
that all students can develop resilience

1076
00:48:37,319 --> 00:48:42,800
and skills for achievement achieving

1077
00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:44,800
what they're capable of later in life so

1078
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,000
at Taff different than other schools

1079
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,319
families rely on school-based counseling

1080
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,960
as essential

1081
00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:53,079
Healthcare um families face barriers to

1082
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,040
access these Services outside of school

1083
00:48:53,079 --> 00:48:57,000
right Insurance barriers Transportation

1084
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,599
barriers working two to three jobs not

1085
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,640
being able to transport your child to

1086
00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:04,400
therapy outside of school uh recently in

1087
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,880
our lcap and ccsp student voice

1088
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,839
committees that were just emailed in the

1089
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:10,319
past week students directly highlighted

1090
00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:13,280
the importance of having counselors at

1091
00:49:10,319 --> 00:49:15,240
school so because of the unique needs at

1092
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,880
Taft I really encourage you to

1093
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:20,119
reconsider uh reducing the position to 0

1094
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,440

00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:25,119
at Orion alternative um and two more com

1109
00:50:22,839 --> 00:50:26,119
in in the next couple years the my I

1110
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:28,079
have a kindergarten that's going to

1111
00:50:26,119 --> 00:50:29,880
start next next year so I brought them

1112
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:31,480
with me um I know budget cuts

1113
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,119
conversations are terrible and they're

1114
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,559
really hard um and I just wanted to

1115
00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:37,280
express my appreciation for all of you

1116
00:50:35,559 --> 00:50:39,480
guys um and my gratitude because I know

1117
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,000
that this is is super tough and you are

1118
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:44,280
absolutely doing your best with a

1119
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,440
difficult situation um and unfunded

1120
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,960
mandates that's another one I didn't

1121
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,079
mention that that's super tough but I

1122
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,799
was hoping um to talk to the concerned

1123
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:55,000
parents on the call um about a different

1124
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:56,119
issue which is partial parcel taxes um

1125
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,520
and I wanted to share that we are unique

1126
00:50:56,119 --> 00:51:01,160
in our district that we do not have um

1127
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,000
parcel taxes that are um on par and can

1128
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,880
measure it with neighboring districts so

1129
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,680
I had to just a couple facts to read for

1130
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:11,720
everybody um San Carlos levies is $334

1131
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:14,839
for um a education budget of 10 million

1132
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:18,319
poo Alto is $820 per house for $29

1133
00:51:14,839 --> 00:51:21,319
million for Education Belmont

1134
00:51:18,319 --> 00:51:23,920
$292 um per house for $9 million s

1135
00:51:21,319 --> 00:51:25,559
Matteo again it's very similar 324 for

1136
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,640
$10 million menow Park there's four

1137
00:51:25,559 --> 00:51:31,559
different parcels that cover about $375

1138
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:35,280
for $1.3 million in Redwood City we have

1139
00:51:31,559 --> 00:51:36,680
$85 per house at $ 1.9 million dollar so

1140
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,280
I think that if all the parents on this

1141
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,880
call could go knock on a hundred doors

1142
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,720
with me and we could get a $400 or $500

1143
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,160
parcel tax we can easily cover these

1144
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,440
budget gaps and what's you know my kids

1145
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,680
are my I'm very happy you guys have made

1146
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,599
me very happy I think you should know

1147
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,400
that you made me very happy this year um

1148
00:51:50,599 --> 00:51:54,400
and last year um my kids are doing great

1149
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,000
but I'm concerned about the kids at Taft

1150
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,000
you know Garfield and we need to level

1151
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,520
the playing ground and the play the

1152
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,359
playground for all of those um those

1153
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,839
families out there so I hope that when

1154
00:52:02,359 --> 00:52:07,520
those parcel tax volunteer calls come

1155
00:52:04,839 --> 00:52:09,200
out we will get right on it and solve

1156
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,720

with so many students on our campus we

1173

supports to many students on our

campuses to take that away would not

1178
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:11,079
only be devastating to us but it would

1179
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:13,359
also be devastating to the students and

1180
00:53:11,079 --> 00:53:14,880
families we serve there's so much work

1181
00:53:13,359 --> 00:53:18,119

tonight um that was very brave of you I

1255
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,280
know that a lot of grown-ups are afraid

1256
00:58:31,559 --> 00:58:36,720
to come to our meetings and speak to us

1257
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,720

1259
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,920
jensson uh Sue jensson uh T School Taff

1260
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:59,559
Library um hate to break run of all

1261
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:01,280
positive I'm concerned tonight because

1262
00:58:59,559 --> 00:59:06,000
of the lack of

1263
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:07,280
communication from the from the district

1264
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,119
um my group

1265
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:12,160
Librarians were I found on the agenda

1266
00:59:10,119 --> 00:59:15,760
that there are three that are going to

1267
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:20,200
be laid off the official notice that we

1268
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:23,160
got was 36 hours ago from uh HR and in

1269
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:25,280
it that lovely HR person revealed that

1270
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,559
Not only was it the three but she outed

1271
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,440
three of us that are

1272
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:32,440
retiring um completely unprofessional in

1273
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:35,480
my opinion but it is representative of

1274
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:37,240
the type of communication I found it

1275
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,799
coincidental if you want to use that

1276
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,720
word that the three people being laid

1277
00:59:39,799 --> 00:59:44,799
off got a

1278
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:47,440
reclass uh approved it will not go be

1279
00:59:44,799 --> 00:59:50,599
before your board because they will be

1280
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:52,960
laid off um they've been guaranteed that

1281
00:59:50,599 --> 00:59:54,599
they will have a job blah blah blah but

1282
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:58,400
that won't the discussions won't even

1283
00:59:54,599 --> 00:59:59,680
start until tomorrow um we pay a lot of

1284
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:03,440
money in this district for a

1285
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:06,200
communications director I am not seeing

1286
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:09,760
that I've lived here over 30 years I'm a

1287
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:13,000
homeowner here I'm not agreeing to a

1288
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:16,520
partiel tax at this point I want to be

1289
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:20,359
convinced that it's a good thing all my

1290
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:22,839
kids were educated here I want to stay

1291
01:00:20,359 --> 01:00:27,119
in this district and support it but I'm

1292
01:00:22,839 --> 01:00:28,160
not feeling that thank you thank you um

1293
01:00:27,119 --> 01:00:29,520
so I know that there's some

1294
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,039
clarification that needs to be provided

1295
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:35,000
on the librari and is that coming up in

1296
01:00:31,039 --> 01:00:38,280
a in in another presentation

1297
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:44,319
or it is okay well we can address that

1298
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:44,319
then um Salvador Gomez I can't read that

1299
01:00:45,319 --> 01:00:49,280
Nava should be in person because I have

1300
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,319
a card oh I wonder if that's who just

1301
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:54,200
walked

1302
01:00:51,319 --> 01:00:57,920
out we'll wait on that he may come back

1303
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,920
um an Bera

1304
01:01:04,599 --> 01:01:09,799
sorry Hi everybody um good evening and

1305
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:12,480
thank you for this opportunity to speak

1306
01:01:09,799 --> 01:01:14,039
my name is Ann beraa and I've been with

1307
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,760
the Redwood City school district for

1308
01:01:14,039 --> 01:01:19,400
over 32 years I've had the privilege and

1309
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,240
opportunity to work directly for and

1310
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:25,680
with many of you up there and many of

1311
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:27,400
you out here um and um I've lived

1312
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,240
through Through The Good the Bad and the

1313
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,960
Ugly of the budget cuts with the

1314
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:36,160
district over the years as well and I I

1315
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:39,359
know firsthand how difficult this is um

1316
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:41,920
although my heart is surely heavy with

1317
01:01:39,359 --> 01:01:43,920
the this need to once again cut

1318
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:46,839
imperative positions such as our

1319
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:49,520
counselors our Librarians our reading

1320
01:01:46,839 --> 01:01:51,960
support and our steam teachers tonight

1321
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:54,680
I'm actually here to advocate for our

1322
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,119
collective bargaining unit um request

1323
01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:01,599
that we enshrine in into the contract a

1324
01:01:57,119 --> 01:02:03,720
25 to1 class size for our K2 classrooms

1325
01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:05,920
our Redwood City students deserve the

1326
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:08,599
best and while the district has had the

1327
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:12,319
foresight in the recent years to leave

1328
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:14,359
the K2 classrooms at a 25 or below our

1329
01:02:12,319 --> 01:02:17,480
current contract allows these numbers to

1330
01:02:14,359 --> 01:02:20,000
be pushed to 31 with no additional

1331
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,440
adults in the classroom and with the

1332
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,880
specific needs of our incoming kiddos

1333
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,920
the lingering effects of the pandemic

1334
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,680
increasing numbers of neurode Divergent

1335
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:31,200
students and students with different

1336
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:34,319
abilities it makes managing a large

1337
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:37,559
class size um in a primary primary grade

1338
01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:39,680
classroom just that managing um and not

1339
01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:43,480
allowing enough time for actual teaching

1340
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:46,720
and relationship building teachers want

1341
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:48,920
teachers and support staff um want to do

1342
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:51,839
their best for all of our students

1343
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:54,119
academically emotionally physically but

1344
01:02:51,839 --> 01:02:56,440
the reality is that when you have a very

1345
01:02:54,119 --> 01:03:00,720
large class size it makes all all of

1346
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:02,200
these desires extremely difficult um in

1347
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:05,319
a K2

1348
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:08,799
classroom um research has proven that

1349
01:03:05,319 --> 01:03:11,160
and we know from firsthand um experience

1350
01:03:08,799 --> 01:03:13,440
during the pandemic that relationship

1351
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:16,240
building especially with our littlest

1352
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:18,839
Learners is key to future success in

1353
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:21,359
school and speaking from my experience

1354
01:03:18,839 --> 01:03:23,440
teaching kindergarten in first grade in

1355
01:03:21,359 --> 01:03:25,880
the years past when we did have these

1356
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:28,240
high numbers although we all did our

1357
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:30,520
best we were not always able to reach

1358
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:33,160
the needs and meet the needs of every

1359
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:36,000
student the reality of having such a

1360
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:38,760
large class size is that students will

1361
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:42,400
inevitably fall through the cracks and

1362
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,920
sadly the ones that are most often the

1363
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,799
ones that fall through the cracks most

1364
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:50,119
often are our quiet our shy ones our

1365
01:03:46,799 --> 01:03:51,920
eels and E English learn English

1366
01:03:50,119 --> 01:03:54,319
language Learners and students with

1367
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:57,119
learning differences who might be

1368
01:03:54,319 --> 01:04:00,039
overlooked and become they

1369
01:03:57,119 --> 01:04:01,680
marginalized one more um I'm hoping now

1370
01:04:00,039 --> 01:04:04,880
that we are now that we're funded

1371
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:07,400
through the basic Aid um as opposed to

1372
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,279
Ada the district and the board will make

1373
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:12,279
the choice that's best for our R City

1374
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:16,160
School District students and that is to

1375
01:04:12,279 --> 01:04:18,599
enshrine the 1 to 25 ratio in K2 um

1376
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:21,440
grades our Redwood City students deserve

1377
01:04:18,599 --> 01:04:21,440
this thank

1378
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:27,720
you our our next speaker is Sher suama

1379
01:04:32,359 --> 01:04:36,960
good evening everybody um my name is

1380
01:04:34,319 --> 01:04:39,880
Sher tiama I'm a first grade teacher at

1381
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:42,279
Roosevelt Elementary School and um I

1382
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:45,920
would like to speak like an about class

1383
01:04:42,279 --> 01:04:50,039
sizes I too think it's important to um

1384
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:52,839
enshrine the 25 or less um in our

1385
01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:55,880
contract because it has made a huge

1386
01:04:52,839 --> 01:04:57,200
difference in my classroom uh first of

1387
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,119
all I would like to say thank you to the

1388
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:01,480
district for making the last few years

1389
01:04:59,119 --> 01:05:03,680
we've had those numbers and I can tell

1390
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:05,880
you my personal experience it has been

1391
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,799
really uh really good when I first

1392
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,480
started teaching here it was 20 kids in

1393
01:05:07,799 --> 01:05:12,240
my classroom and I didn't realize how

1394
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,799
good it was was until the numbers went

1395
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,960
up to 28 and

1396
01:05:13,799 --> 01:05:22,920
29 and you do see kids falling through

1397
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:26,480
the cracks and it was hard um but now in

1398
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:28,319
my class with only 25 students

1399
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,880
I'm meeting with the kids much more

1400
01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:33,520
often in small groups I'm able to do

1401
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,359
that um because the other kids I don't

1402
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,799
have you know 30 other kids running

1403
01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:39,960
around um there's much more student

1404
01:05:37,799 --> 01:05:42,559
participation I'm able to call on the

1405
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,240
students more often I'm able to

1406
01:05:42,559 --> 01:05:47,319
facilitate more student group work

1407
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:49,680
there's less disruptions in class

1408
01:05:47,319 --> 01:05:52,279
because I am able to move around the

1409
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:56,319
room and have more control over the

1410
01:05:52,279 --> 01:05:58,279
situation um after covid there are

1411
01:05:56,319 --> 01:06:01,440
many more needs that need to be

1412
01:05:58,279 --> 01:06:03,720
addressed and with a smaller class size

1413
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,400
I'm able to give more time and energy to

1414
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,480
those kids I have two students this year

1415
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:11,160
who did not attend preschool or

1416
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:13,520
kindergarten and I've had more time to

1417
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:16,799
address their needs as well they're

1418
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:18,680
coming along good by the way um also we

1419
01:06:16,799 --> 01:06:21,440
fit into the classroom better I think

1420
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:24,359
our classrooms were designed for 20 to1

1421
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:26,640
so I have more spaces Flex spaces study

1422
01:06:24,359 --> 01:06:30,119
spaces for the kids with this kind of

1423
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:31,799
numbers um our kids deserve the best and

1424
01:06:30,119 --> 01:06:35,319
while I really think class sizes should

1425
01:06:31,799 --> 01:06:38,920
go back to 20 to1 um I think perly

1426
01:06:35,319 --> 01:06:40,920
making 25 students a cap for the TK

1427
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:44,160
second grade would be a step in the

1428
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,160
right direction thank

1429
01:06:45,839 --> 01:06:49,279
you Jessica

1430
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:56,079
mlan hello board members my name is

1431
01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:58,520
Jessica McLean this is my six year

1432
01:06:56,079 --> 01:07:00,799
teaching in the district as a education

1433
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:02,559
specialist I currently teach a

1434
01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:05,319
transitional kindergarten extensive

1435
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:07,279
needs Learning Center with eight amazing

1436
01:07:05,319 --> 01:07:10,400
students um there are many types of

1437
01:07:07,279 --> 01:07:12,400
special education teachers but the eslc

1438
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,359
classes or formally known as the

1439
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,440
moderate to severe disabilities special

1440
01:07:14,359 --> 01:07:19,200
day classes teach students who have the

1441
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:21,520
highest level of support needs um I'm

1442
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:23,480
often told that I must be a patient

1443
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,240
person to work with the kiddos that I

1444
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:28,240
teach but it's often not the kids that I

1445
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:30,119
have to find the patients for it's the

1446
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:33,000
barriers that special Educators have to

1447
01:07:30,119 --> 01:07:34,480
work through that test my patients High

1448
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,440
case load size being the main barrier

1449
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,359
that I would like to talk about today

1450
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,960
the California teachers associations

1451
01:07:38,359 --> 01:07:42,880
recommends the following teacher case

01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:45,799

teach eight lovely students with a wide

1458
01:07:54,799 --> 01:07:59,799
range of disabil ilities um and I will

1459
01:07:57,079 --> 01:08:02,920
likely to end with um nine and my

1460
01:07:59,799 --> 01:08:05,799
projected case load number for the 2024

1461
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:07,920

01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,599
education case load numbers in this

1464
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:13,319
District are also pushing alarmingly

1465
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:15,720
High numbers the highest I've seen since

1466
01:08:13,319 --> 01:08:17,960
I've started working in this District I

1467
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,319
love my job and my students to death but

1468
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,759
having such a high case load number

1469
01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:23,520
doesn't allow students to get their

1470
01:08:20,759 --> 01:08:25,600
specific and important needs met moving

1471
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,880
around safely receiving the required

1472
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,960
detention and instruction needed quiet

1473
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,480
and calm environments these are just to

1474
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:34,199
name a few strong safety concerns also

1475
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:36,640
start to arise when Cas load numbers are

1476
01:08:34,199 --> 01:08:38,560
this High it seems like the answer has

1477
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,440
always been to max out case load numbers

1478
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,520
and then funnel in AIDS and behavior

1479
01:08:40,440 --> 01:08:45,000
therapist to Support classes that have

1480
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,960
too many students or having issues this

1481
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:49,000
unfortunately contributes more to the

1482
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:51,440
problem reduced case load numbers will

1483
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,120
remove the need for extra adults and

1484
01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:55,600
give our students the means to actually

1485
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,560
focus and thrive in addition of just one

1486
01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,279
more eslc and SLC class for next year

1487
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,359
will decrease case load numbers for all

1488
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:04,480
of these classes I know budgets are

1489
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:07,199
tight but I believe our most vulnerable

1490
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:10,839
students deserve better our CSD students

1491
01:09:07,199 --> 01:09:10,839
deserve the best thank

1492
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:17,080
you thank

1493
01:09:12,759 --> 01:09:17,080
you um Allison

1494
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:24,480
sudol good evening trustees and Dr Baker

1495
01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:26,120
my name is Alison sudall next year will

1496
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:27,960
be my ninth year in the district and my

1497
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,520
seventh year teaching my little loves in

1498
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,560
the first to third grade extensive

1499
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,880
support needs classroom on the Roosevelt

1500
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:36,920
campus my first year in this classroom

1501
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:39,679
back in 2017 I had six students then

1502
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:41,759
seven then eight followed by two years

1503
01:09:39,679 --> 01:09:44,880
with 11 students and the past two years

1504
01:09:41,759 --> 01:09:47,120
with 10 students every year for the past

1505
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:49,679
four years I've had to advocate for my

1506
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:52,560
students myself and my support staff to

1507
01:09:49,679 --> 01:09:54,360
remain at a realistic cap of 10 students

1508
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,880
I currently have a projection of 12

1509
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:58,640
students for next School

1510
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:01,159
year since increasing class sizes in

1511
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:03,800
2019 we've seen a significant increase

1512
01:10:01,159 --> 01:10:05,600
in unsafe behaviors disregulation and

1513
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,440
elopement for those of you who don't

1514
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,800
know the term it's just students who are

1515
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:10,880
leaving the

1516
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,520
classroom while adding one or two

1517
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:15,000
students to a classroom like ours may

1518
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,560
seem trivial anyone intimately involved

1519
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,679
in a higher support needs classroom

1520
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,120
knows this is not the case these

1521
01:10:18,679 --> 01:10:22,640
programs were designed to support

1522
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,360
sensory needs and regulation adding two

1523
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,320
extra students to the mix inevitably

1524
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:28,080
causes disregulation of the entire

1525
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,760
classroom which then leads to these

1526
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,320
unsafe behaviors me and my colleagues

1527
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,719
have come up with a solution for next

1528
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,159
year that ensures the safety and

1529
01:10:33,719 --> 01:10:37,840
well-being of our students by opening

1530
01:10:36,159 --> 01:10:39,840
one more extensive support needs

1531
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:42,400
classroom and one more specialized

1532
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:44,679
Learning Center classroom next year five

1533
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:48,000
plus High needs programs go from having

1534
01:10:44,679 --> 01:10:49,960
12 to 14 students to 8 to 10 I'm more

1535
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,480
than happy to send my in-depth proposal

1536
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:54,640
of you're curious to see what that could

1537
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:57,280
look like I love my students and their

1538
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:59,600
families who I think most are on this

1539
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:01,600
call more than I can ever express and

1540
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:04,120
raising class sizes in this way is a

1541
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:06,880
diservice and detriment to us all thank

1542
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,880
you thank

1543
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:13,760
you um so Connie and Beverly I just want

1544
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,800

1547
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:20,960
next okay um so next is Aaron

1548
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:29,320
Washburn good evening my name is Aaron

1549
01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:30,960
wasir my pronouns are they them and

1550
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:33,320
theirs and I'm a music teacher in the

1551
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:35,840
Redwood City School District and tonight

1552
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:38,960
I am simply here to tell you uh the

1553
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:42,800
benefits of having a well-funded proper

1554
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:45,280
music education program uh for our kids

1555
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:48,080
uh because our Elementary music programs

1556
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:50,080
are being cut um I'll start with

1557
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,679
performance a lot of people think that

1558
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,000
this is this is what a lot of people see

1559
01:11:51,679 --> 01:11:55,719
is the performance um but it's not

1560
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:59,040
really about the beautiful sound of 30

1561
01:11:55,719 --> 01:12:00,840
kids playing recorder on a stage um

1562
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:03,520
actually what performance provides for

1563
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,320
our kids is the ability to be in front

1564
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,360
of an audience to know what it's like

1565
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:10,120
what that feels like to develop that

1566
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:12,960
self-awareness consider perspective and

1567
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:14,560
is foundational for um skill building

1568
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,199
around public speaking and learning how

1569
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:19,520
to face their fears practicing in

1570
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:20,679
rehearsal spaces helps them to

1571
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,840
understand that they're going to improve

1572
01:12:20,679 --> 01:12:24,920
over time it's not about instant

1573
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:27,360
gratification but developing patients

1574
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:30,080
with themselves and others it Fosters

1575
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:31,239
work ethic discipline and it teaches

1576
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,159
them about being part of an

1577
01:12:31,239 --> 01:12:36,760
interconnected system um to create

1578
01:12:34,159 --> 01:12:39,400
something bigger a song it's about how

1579
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:42,040
to really listen it builds School

1580
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:45,199
culture um creates a common catalog of

1581
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:47,000
songs Bridges generations and brings

1582
01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:49,520
Community together and it gives kids a

1583
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,719
sense of Pride and belonging at school

1584
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:55,199
social emotional benefits include stress

1585
01:12:51,719 --> 01:12:56,960
relief it's fun um and for some of our

1586
01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:58,840
students it's really important because

1587
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:02,360
it might be the one place on campus

1588
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:04,080
where they actually can Excel um it can

1589
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:06,440
help boost the child's

1590
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:08,480
confidence academically it enhances

1591
01:13:06,440 --> 01:13:09,440
memory skills for vocabulary and

1592
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:11,960
language

1593
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:14,400
acquisition um Elementary music programs

1594
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:16,480
help with fine motor skills I hand

1595
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:18,840
coordination builds capacity for

1596
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:21,719
multitask brain functions because you

1597
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:23,719
have to read interpret and then the

1598
01:13:21,719 --> 01:13:25,159
physical action of making the music

1599
01:13:23,719 --> 01:13:26,880
while being present in the current

1600
01:13:25,159 --> 01:13:29,199
moment and thinking forward of what's

1601
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:31,120
coming next so it's a it's really good

1602
01:13:29,199 --> 01:13:33,880
for your brain having these programs and

1603
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:36,600
learning how to do music I would urge

1604
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:39,800
administrators to seriously consider

1605
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:41,600
what a great and well-funded music uh

1606
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,800
education program could do for the

1607
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,639
climate and the culture at their schools

1608
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:47,880
and I would urge parents to insist on

1609
01:13:45,639 --> 01:13:49,760
this benefit of having a good music

1610
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:52,600
education program for their children

1611
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,600

1629
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:03,320
sign yesterday there was a student um in

1630
01:14:59,679 --> 01:15:04,960

1631
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,400
he was really disregulated and the

1632
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,960
teacher came in my room is in the

1633
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:12,360

1646
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,560
we practiced and then we went back to

1647
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:48,440
the library where the class was I asked

1648
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:50,800
his teacher if he could come back and

1649
01:15:48,440 --> 01:15:55,440
then before I left this part out before

1650
01:15:50,800 --> 01:16:00,560
we did that he said I I said to him

1651
01:15:55,440 --> 01:16:03,920
if you ever want to check in please come

1652
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:06,040
I am here this is my room you're welcome

1653
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:08,320
you can tell your teacher I can pick you

1654
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,360
up maybe if I'm busy I can pick you up

1655
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:13,800
later in the

1656
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:15,440
day and chis had he said yes this

1657
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:18,600
morning I was walking down the hallway

1658
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:21,080
and he stopped me and he

1659
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:23,520
said there be a mental health counselor

1660
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:26,960
next year and I

1661
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,920
said I C be by surprise I said I'm not

1662
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:32,080
sure what it's going to look like but as

1663
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,560
soon as I know I will let you know and I

1664
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,880
said you can check in this year if you

1665
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:38,480
would

1666
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,960
like the security for a student to know

1667
01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:43,639
that there's someone there they can

1668
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:45,639
check in with if they need to it just

1669
01:16:43,639 --> 01:16:49,600
dawned on me how important that is for

1670
01:16:45,639 --> 01:16:51,199
them that safety now and and I invite

1671
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:54,960
you to

1672
01:16:51,199 --> 01:16:57,920
consider hopefully having Mental Health

1673
01:16:54,960 --> 01:17:01,040
school counselor at every site available

1674
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:03,800
for students to have that safety net and

1675
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:06,040
I realized all of you have this

1676
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:10,159

parent and a board member of the Rood

1688
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,639
City Education Foundation and I'm just

1689
01:17:40,199 --> 01:17:43,159
I'm here now actually for a lot of

1690
01:17:41,639 --> 01:17:45,000
reasons so many great comments I'm so

1691
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:46,560
glad um but I really want you to

1692
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:49,040
consider rejecting the resolution

1693
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:51,360
proposed um and request an alternative

1694
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:53,280
approach to finding Solutions uh I

1695
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,159
really urge you to seek authentic input

1696
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,840
from the Educators in the school sites

1697
01:17:55,159 --> 01:17:58,639
and please stop putting schools and

1698
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,679
programs against each other which is

1699
01:17:58,639 --> 01:18:03,000
fostering the scarcity mindset that's

1700
01:18:00,679 --> 01:18:05,040
that that that paralyzes the Innovative

1701
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,679
thinking based on the community response

1702
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,320
to this resolution and agenda item I

1703
01:18:06,679 --> 01:18:10,639
don't believe an open and transparent

1704
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:12,639
process has taken place please stop the

1705
01:18:10,639 --> 01:18:13,960
toxic pattern of launching expensive

1706
01:18:12,639 --> 01:18:16,120
initiatives and then abandoning them

1707
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,840
when priorities shift the proposed Steam

1708
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,280
and music cuts are examples of this I

1709
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,239
love them for all the reason stated but

1710
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:23,560
I also think that it's a problem the way

1711
01:18:21,239 --> 01:18:25,560
we come and go where any Cuts or

1712
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:28,520
reduction in services are Dem absolutely

1713
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:32,199
necessary take an equitable approach and

1714
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:33,840
and um which means cutting from the last

1715
01:18:32,199 --> 01:18:36,280
from the schools who need it

1716
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:37,880
most please hold our district

1717
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,840
accountable for serving all of our

1718
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,800
students and demand a plan for outlining

1719
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,080
the steps to achieve it I Echo the

1720
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,120
community comments that the district

1721
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,760
needs to enshrine the 25:1 ratio into

1722
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,199
the contract as an absolute District

1723
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,560
priority and I agree that a paral tax

1724
01:18:49,199 --> 01:18:52,600
would be a much needed infusion of

1725
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,120
resources but I do fear that the current

1726
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,239
lack of trust in the district would make

1727
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,000
the campaign

1728
01:18:55,239 --> 01:18:58,679
difficult at this time I urge the

1729
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,040
district to work to rebuild the trust

1730
01:18:58,679 --> 01:19:03,120
with your greater transparency and

1731
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,120
collaboration thank

1732
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:08,159
you um Dave prush I believe is

1733
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:23,960
online hi Dave go ahead you can unmute

1734
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:25,280
uh hi good evening um thank you I won't

1735
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,880
take too much time as been so many

1736
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,360
articulate comments um I do want to

1737
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:32,159
acknowledge you know that I understand

1738
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:34,760
that the the board is in a difficult

1739
01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:38,600
position dealing with um you know budget

1740
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:40,480
mandates that come from other places um

1741
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:44,199
but it you know it does seem uncontable

1742
01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:46,280
in a in an area where you can't buy you

1743
01:19:44,199 --> 01:19:49,120
know a garage sells for a million

1744
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:52,000
dollars that that we're talking about

1745
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:55,560
cutting Librarians uh mental health

1746
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:58,040
professionals stem teachers um it you

1747
01:19:55,560 --> 01:20:01,440
know there just seems to be a disconnect

1748
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:03,120
and um you know I did look you know it

1749
01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:05,639
does seem like some you know greater

1750
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:07,239
money has come into the uh into the

1751
01:20:05,639 --> 01:20:11,040
district from the county over the last

1752
01:20:07,239 --> 01:20:15,920
few years um I apologize that I you know

1753
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:18,320
don't know um enough uh to say is that

1754
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:20,320
money being allocated effectively but

1755
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:23,440
you know I would just Echo that I think

1756
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:25,159
we need some some creative uh Solutions

1757
01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:26,719
here and

1758
01:20:25,159 --> 01:20:29,040
uh that you know everything that Lily

1759
01:20:26,719 --> 01:20:32,000
said I I would I would Echo that we need

1760
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:34,320
to um take a step back from from cutting

1761
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:37,520
all these positions uh and see if we can

1762
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:39,840

also thanks for putting together the

presentation um I think that that that

1795
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:03,120
did help uh answer a lot of the

1796
01:22:00,159 --> 01:22:05,639
questions that I had initially also that

1797
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:08,560
we had received an email um I think the

1798
01:22:05,639 --> 01:22:10,880
big thing for me was around like the

1799
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:13,080
process that happened here um and and

1800
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:15,199
how how did we go about making these

1801
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,719
decisions and those priorities I'm

1802
01:22:15,199 --> 01:22:19,480
pretty sure you covered it mostly in the

1803
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:21,480
presentation that it was we identified

1804
01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:23,320
how much had to get cut and then you

1805
01:22:21,480 --> 01:22:24,960
each site administrator helped figure

1806
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,719
out how that was going to work work for

1807
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:28,679
their site is that there was should go

1808
01:22:26,719 --> 01:22:33,480
to the school site Council we do have

1809
01:22:28,679 --> 01:22:36,440
one School site um that didn't get in

1810
01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:38,280
that did meet with staff and did meet I

1811
01:22:36,440 --> 01:22:41,440
think with PTO but hadn't met with the

1812
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:43,400
school site Council yet and

1813
01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:45,679
um that's all I'm going to say about

1814
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:48,080
that uh but I that that's one site that

1815
01:22:45,679 --> 01:22:50,280
didn't um but the rest did they also

1816
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:52,840
started they also met with Wendy and

1817
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:54,960
Anna to go through each of the F funding

1818
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:59,120
that they had with the fine tooth comb

1819
01:22:54,960 --> 01:23:01,400
the funding that um was not put into

1820
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,760
play at this point in time is their

1821
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:09,120
measure U dollars so measure you dollars

1822
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:11,480
are still dollars that the site staff

1823
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:15,199
and site Council are going to determine

1824
01:23:11,480 --> 01:23:16,920
how to utilize the monies so and we

1825
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:18,320
looked at our priority sites but there's

1826
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:22,960
one question I think we we're going to

1827
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:25,760
look at is taed a bit for the 0. five

1828
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:27,600
counselor so I I think for Taft there

1829
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:29,719
have I think what's missing in here is

1830
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:32,400
Taft actually has multiple counselors

1831
01:23:29,719 --> 01:23:35,320
not they have the mental health and then

1832
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:37,920
there is an extra counselor they have H

1833
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:40,880
one life as well as they have an extra

1834
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:42,600
counselor that comes through the county

1835
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:45,120
it's the only site actually that has

1836
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:47,480
that right now so they do have an extra

1837
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,679
counselor on staff currently and that

1838
01:23:47,480 --> 01:23:52,199
has been there for number of

1839
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:56,159
years so I believe there's three right

1840
01:23:52,199 --> 01:24:00,239
now and I may be missing one am I right

1841
01:23:56,159 --> 01:24:02,840
Laura yes there are part-time providers

1842
01:24:00,239 --> 01:24:05,440
contract one through RCF also or and

1843
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:07,719
then there's RCF hours yeah 30 yeah so

1844
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:10,400
RCF also has the 30 hours

1845
01:24:07,719 --> 01:24:12,000
correct and then just to make you aware

1846
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:13,960
um you know many comments have been you

1847
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,840
know seek outside funding look for

1848
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,360
Grants we do have about three grants in

1849
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,360
the hopper right now we will not know

1850
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:23,120
until April 15th but those are for our

1851
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:27,320
April May those are for our priority

1852
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:29,960
School sites um and I did get a

1853
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:34,080
$500,000 donation from a funer that I

1854
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:35,480
spoke to last week on Tuesday um that

1855
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:38,960
will help

1856
01:24:35,480 --> 01:24:41,800
maintain the number of counselors that

1857
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:44,400
um not all of them but a good set of

1858
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:47,880
them up Wendy brings it down to I forget

1859
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:50,119
what now the point FES but the full-time

1860
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,719
people help maintain those that are

1861
01:24:50,119 --> 01:24:53,880
listed at the school

1862
01:24:51,719 --> 01:24:55,520
sites I asked for a million but I got

1863
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:58,159
500

1864
01:24:55,520 --> 01:25:00,800
okay there's I'm still hoping that I

1865
01:24:58,159 --> 01:25:03,560
could get some but well right now I've

1866
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:06,360
got 500k

1867
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,840
coming and so in a lot of the the

1868
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,520
there's a deadline here right that we

1869
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,760
have to have the announcement be able to

1870
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,159
put this thing can you remind me what

1871
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:16,040
the deadline is I think it's mid mid-

1872
01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:18,360
March right March 15 March 15 and so you

1873
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:21,600
unable to wait to find out what that

1874
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:23,239
that answer is because we have to right

1875
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:26,040
and the grants that were written were

1876
01:25:23,239 --> 01:25:28,480
were for the priority schools um they

1877
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:31,199
were written in a manner where the

1878
01:25:28,480 --> 01:25:33,159
requirements um need to have a certain

1879
01:25:31,199 --> 01:25:36,000
number of unduplicated populated

1880
01:25:33,159 --> 01:25:39,080
students okay can we walk people through

1881
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:40,400
what happens on March 15 I'll let Wendy

1882
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:44,440
do

1883
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:46,800
that sure i' be happy to so through

1884
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:50,280
Education Code there is

1885
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:53,400
requirement that uh School boards take

1886
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:56,520
action on any type of reductions for

1887
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:59,480
certificated or classified staff board

1888
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:02,280
approved and individuals

1889
01:25:59,480 --> 01:26:06,159
notified by the deadline of March 15th

1890
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:08,760
and so individuals who are not in

1891
01:26:06,159 --> 01:26:12,520
positions yet will receive certified

1892
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:15,760
mail uh with very legal e letters that

1893
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:20,520
describe the whole process um which is

1894
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:22,880
required by Ed code and after March 15th

1895
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:24,320
has passed the district has an

1896
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,600
obligation to fund those position

1897
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:28,560
positions for the following school year

1898
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:32,280
so very unlike any other

1899
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:34,679
industry uh the the problematic part is

1900
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,520
that we receive initial budgets in mid

1901
01:26:34,679 --> 01:26:40,280
January for the following year which is

1902
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:42,840
a draft and then you know further more

1903
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:44,719
firm budgets come in miday so that's

1904
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,840
part of the budgetary cycle I know that

1905
01:26:44,719 --> 01:26:50,080
Rick Edson has described in the past of

1906
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:52,080
course uh but the problematic piece is

1907
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:54,480
that we have to make and this is in a

1908
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,920
typical year this is not even

1909
01:26:54,480 --> 01:26:58,159
necessarily addressing the one-time

1910
01:26:55,920 --> 01:27:00,560
monies it's any funding sources in which

1911
01:26:58,159 --> 01:27:02,440
we have to analyze an anticipation for a

1912
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:05,560
budgetary problem for the next year or a

1913
01:27:02,440 --> 01:27:09,280
reduction needed the interesting piece

1914
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:12,239
is there are as Dr Baker mentioned after

1915
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:14,360
March 15 there are other positions that

1916
01:27:12,239 --> 01:27:16,560
can then be added that's when grants

1917
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:18,560
come in measure you site Council

1918
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:21,280
decisions are made and some other

1919
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:24,239
fine-tuning pieces however the

1920
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:26,199
elimination of positions or reductions

1921
01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:29,080
have to be determined by March 15th

1922
01:27:26,199 --> 01:27:34,119
under Ed code and you can't look back

1923
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:36,520
and so that's why you know it's it's um

1924
01:27:34,119 --> 01:27:38,639
very strenuous for everybody involved

1925
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:41,320
but certainly for the board to have to

1926
01:27:38,639 --> 01:27:44,199
forecast these items because once again

1927
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:46,960
this budgetary piece in a typical year

1928
01:27:44,199 --> 01:27:50,080
is based on the January 15th Governor's

1929
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:53,040
proposal the unique situation tonight is

1930
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,840
we know that onetime monies were indeed

1931
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:57,679
onetime Monies

1932
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:00,280
and so the for you know the monies are

1933
01:27:57,679 --> 01:28:03,719
drying up and so therefore there the

1934
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:07,320
alternatives are to um you know look at

1935
01:28:03,719 --> 01:28:09,360
other funding sources and so um so

1936
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:11,760
anyway that's the nutshell version of

1937
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,760
the Ed

1938
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:17,840
code so then we've we've gone through a

1939
01:28:15,239 --> 01:28:19,119
process working with the sites um you

1940
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,840
you sort of identified what the

1941
01:28:19,119 --> 01:28:22,679
reductions are going to be you sort

1942
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,760
talked with the principls theyve worked

1943
01:28:22,679 --> 01:28:26,760
with their staff and there

1944
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:29,880
councils um to be able to put that

1945
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:32,400
together uh when we did our interm

1946
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:35,639
budget um it was there was identified

1947
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:38,639
that you know we needed to address uh um

1948
01:28:35,639 --> 01:28:40,920
a budget stabilization that was in

1949
01:28:38,639 --> 01:28:44,679
December now

1950
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:48,000
um does this address the the how does

1951
01:28:44,679 --> 01:28:48,000
this affect the stabilization

1952
01:28:48,440 --> 01:28:54,119
plan thanks trusty Wells uh so yeah the

1953
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,320
combination of this along with other

1954
01:28:54,119 --> 01:28:59,040
measures that we've taken uh along the

1955
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:00,960
way right in terms of uh also looking at

1956
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:05,080
potential savings this year from open

1957
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:08,560
positions uh the recalculation of our

1958
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:10,480
lcff uh estimated proportionate based on

1959
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:15,480
the governor's January budget with the

1960
01:29:10,480 --> 01:29:18,159
low Cola which also uh impacts the

1961
01:29:15,480 --> 01:29:21,400
amount of money that we have to pay with

1962
01:29:18,159 --> 01:29:24,920
in L taxes to Charter Schools uh a

1963
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:26,880
combination of all that would uh

1964
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:28,880
put us on track for fiscal solvency in

1965
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:31,280
the eyes of the state with our current

1966
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:32,960
year and our two out years uh and

1967
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,880
returning to positive

1968
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:37,800
certification for a second inum which

1969
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:40,800
will be presented on the 20th of

1970
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:43,000
March so just to kind of recap there's

1971
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:45,199
kind of two important deadlines coming

1972
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:48,239
up that we have no flexibility or

1973
01:29:45,199 --> 01:29:50,360
leniency to move one of those is about

1974
01:29:48,239 --> 01:29:52,600
cuts for the upcoming year and that must

1975
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:55,040
be locked and loaded on March 15th

1976
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:58,199
that's not our decision and the second

1977
01:29:55,040 --> 01:30:00,080
is a budgetary filing due on March 20th

1978
01:29:58,199 --> 01:30:01,960
that has to show that for the next three

1979
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:04,719
years we are fiscally

1980
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:07,360
solvent is that a reasonable summary

1981
01:30:04,719 --> 01:30:08,679
current plus two current plus two I

1982
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,480
sorry that's a better way of saying it

1983
01:30:08,679 --> 01:30:12,199

and I forwarded it to the board I did um

01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,280

um and the county um in that

1991

01:30:55,880 --> 01:31:00,920
plan on March 20th that showed these

2004
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,080
reductions which I believe were a total

2005
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:04,520
between all the different things we

2006
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:06,880
could do of about $5 million if we

2007
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,600
weren't to do that um can you give a 30

2008
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:12,480
second summary of the

2009
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:14,000
consequences sure uh well uh if we were

2010
01:31:12,480 --> 01:31:16,560
in the same position as we were at first

2011
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:19,719
inum and we self-certified our budget as

2012
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:21,239
qualified uh again the county then would

2013
01:31:19,719 --> 01:31:23,600
look at it the same as it would any time

2014
01:31:21,239 --> 01:31:27,000
we submit an interm report uh and they'

2015
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:28,360
either agree with us or uh doubtful

2016
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,080
they'd ever say you were positive but

2017
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:32,480
there would be a chance that you know

2018
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:34,360
they could downgrade us as well highly

2019
01:31:32,480 --> 01:31:37,000
unlikely but that is one of the options

2020
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:39,800
the county has uh at that point if you

2021
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:44,119
are uh self-certified as qualified at

2022
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:46,239
the second interim uh you are then uh by

2023
01:31:44,119 --> 01:31:49,040
order of the CDE required to do a third

2024
01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:52,520
interim report uh that would take uh

2025
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:54,840
expenditures through April 30th uh at

2026
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:57,159
that report there is no certification is

2027
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:59,920
just an update to the county uh and then

2028
01:31:57,159 --> 01:32:01,320
we go directly into budget uh budget

2029
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:03,920
adoption in

2030
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,639
June uh and carrying that through you

2031
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,040
don't

2032
01:32:04,639 --> 01:32:09,119
self-certify uh or put a status on your

2033
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:11,800
budget at first interim it would be

2034
01:32:09,119 --> 01:32:15,920
looked at again uh and if you were still

2035
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:18,600
in a qualified State uh then uh the

2036
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:20,480
county would have to contact the M which

2037
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,480
is a fiscal crisis and management

2038
01:32:20,480 --> 01:32:25,679
assistance team uh and they would come

2039
01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:27,880
in and do a review so uh with the

2040
01:32:25,679 --> 01:32:31,560
expectation that on March 20th uh we

2041
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:33,480
will return to positive uh then all of

2042
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:35,960
that goes away and we go back to our

2043
01:32:33,480 --> 01:32:39,119
normal budgeting cycle where we'll come

2044
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:42,360
back in June with the um public hearing

2045
01:32:39,119 --> 01:32:46,280
for Budget along with the ELC cap uh and

2046
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:48,440
then budget adoption at the last meeting

2047
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:50,800
thank you so we are required by the

2048
01:32:48,440 --> 01:32:53,400
state to have a current plus two-year

2049
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:55,080
budget that shows fiscal solvency and

2050
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:57,639
there's consequences for failing to

2051
01:32:55,080 --> 01:33:02,440
achieve that thank you we got really

2052
01:32:57,639 --> 01:33:03,960
close um and that's why we went in the

2053
01:33:02,440 --> 01:33:07,280
direction

2054
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:10,840
to close schools you know I think my

2055
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:15,199
second year yeah um they were ready to

2056
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:15,199
come in and start telling us what to

2057
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:22,440
do um yeah so the last thing I wanted to

2058
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,800
say was that um you know I'm glad to

2059
01:33:22,440 --> 01:33:26,119
hear about potential grants coming that

2060
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,400
that might come in there I know later

2061
01:33:26,119 --> 01:33:30,040
we're going to be talking about

2062
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:32,080
feasibility studies for uh ways to be

2063
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,440
able to um increase Revenue to come in

2064
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:36,840
here I am also very grateful for the

2065
01:33:34,440 --> 01:33:38,760
one-time funds uh whether you wanted to

2066
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:40,840
deal with them or not because they did

2067
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,880
allow the establishment of look all

2068
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:46,159
these positions are really critical I

2069
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:48,040
mean it's it's just they're so valuable

2070
01:33:46,159 --> 01:33:51,600
for the students they're all having an

2071
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:53,400
impact for how how our students are um

2072
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,440
going to find success both in school and

2073
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,320
in life

2074
01:33:54,440 --> 01:34:01,480
um and many times helping their families

2075
01:33:56,320 --> 01:34:03,719
support uh as well um you know and so

2076
01:34:01,480 --> 01:34:05,320
it's it's really difficult um and there

2077
01:34:03,719 --> 01:34:07,560
are real people behind it there's real

2078
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:10,040
students behind it that are impacted in

2079
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:13,119
families um and it makes it very

2080
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:15,080
challenge uh challenging uh I will say

2081
01:34:13,119 --> 01:34:17,360
that I think that involving the

2082
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:19,520
principles and the site councils and

2083
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:22,280
getting the understanding what they need

2084
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:24,800
at their site to pull that in um seems

2085
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:28,440
like the right process to have followed

2086
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:30,239
uh and um I realized there were hiccups

2087
01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:32,080
uh some communication didn't work out

2088
01:34:30,239 --> 01:34:34,560
well I think it might be worth like

2089
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:37,280
reviewing you know how how this went and

2090
01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:40,679
are there ways to improve should this be

2091
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:43,199
needed to be done again in the future um

2092
01:34:40,679 --> 01:34:45,880
but I I think because the because of all

2093
01:34:43,199 --> 01:34:47,719
of that um you know I I will be

2094
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:49,880
supporting the resolution and saying

2095
01:34:47,719 --> 01:34:52,560
that you know this is the the right path

2096
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:56,239
to go forward um as we talk about it and

2097
01:34:52,560 --> 01:35:00,239
and just to remind you this funer that's

2098
01:34:56,239 --> 01:35:02,600
giving us the 500k and the grants are

2099
01:35:00,239 --> 01:35:04,600
only for the grants are for two years

2100
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:07,639
right and then they go time funder is

2101
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:09,639
here for one year and that's gone right

2102
01:35:07,639 --> 01:35:13,920
yeah they're not an ongoing solution for

2103
01:35:09,639 --> 01:35:16,000
this um but you know every every year uh

2104
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:18,920
every year helps especially you know

2105
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:21,199
these years that are so critical for

2106
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:22,840
we're still seeing the impact of you

2107
01:35:21,199 --> 01:35:24,320
know for for particularly for the

2108
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,480
youngest learners coming through the

2109
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:29,760
pandemic um and coming out and and all

2110
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:31,920
of that so you know I'm not going to say

2111
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:33,560
no to onetime funds I think that you

2112
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,840
know we'll be able to pull those things

2113
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:37,679
in and and and get them to support

2114
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:40,000
because like I said look these roles are

2115
01:35:37,679 --> 01:35:42,400
critical um I to don't want to see them

2116
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:43,920
go tot agree it's just that for the

2117
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:46,119
audience and for the parents because

2118
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:49,080
they all vote

2119
01:35:46,119 --> 01:35:51,520
when education needs to be funded in a

2120
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:53,400
manner which WR Equitable across the

2121
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,679
board for all schools in the state of

2122
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:58,800
California California and that does not

2123
01:35:55,679 --> 01:36:02,159
happen yes we are basic aid but we are

2124
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:05,480
poor basic Aid look at my neighbor to

2125
01:36:02,159 --> 01:36:08,040
the South the millions and millions of

2126
01:36:05,480 --> 01:36:11,679
dollars that get more than what we

2127
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:13,239
do I I sh I get so upset every time I at

2128
01:36:11,679 --> 01:36:15,440
the superintendent's meeting and don't

2129
01:36:13,239 --> 01:36:17,119

this I I just wanted to state that sorry

2132
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:23,280
yeah and one last thing I I think I said

2133
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,639
thank you to all our speakers I did

2134
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:26,639

2135
01:36:24,639 --> 01:36:28,360
but I did want to recognize s again just

2136
01:36:26,639 --> 01:36:29,800
for you know having one of our students

2137
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:32,080
come up and and be able to speak at the

2138
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:35,000
board love hearing students talking um

2139
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:37,520
and presenting the in their voice their

2140
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,520
message so

2141
01:36:38,679 --> 01:36:45,679
thanks so my comment is thank you Mike

2142
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,719
because you always put things just so

2143
01:36:45,679 --> 01:36:50,000
well just I just want to say ditto to

2144
01:36:47,719 --> 01:36:51,400
everything you said um and of course one

2145
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:55,800
time

2146
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:57,679
funding um was crucial right after covid

2147
01:36:55,800 --> 01:37:00,840
there's many positions that became

2148
01:36:57,679 --> 01:37:04,440
available and it's really hard times

2149
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:07,320
obviously us as board members um we're

2150
01:37:04,440 --> 01:37:10,400
putting this situation but again

2151
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:11,400
principles know what they're doing um

2152
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:13,159
again when it comes down to the

2153
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:16,239
communication if there was any broken

2154
01:37:13,159 --> 01:37:22,880
communication we apologize if that um

2155
01:37:16,239 --> 01:37:25,280
didn't set um things straight um we're

2156
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:27,520
regular people just like you are and it

2157
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:29,080
does just like some of you the people in

2158
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:34,199
the audience said with the heavy heart

2159
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:36,480
we do have you know feelings and you

2160
01:37:34,199 --> 01:37:38,080
guys are all equal to us we are board

2161
01:37:36,480 --> 01:37:40,400
members but again we're just community

2162
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:42,719
members just like you are um so I do

2163
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:44,440
want to say that um it is really hard

2164
01:37:42,719 --> 01:37:47,040
times and it's very unfortunate just

2165
01:37:44,440 --> 01:37:50,080
like Dr Baker said there's other school

2166
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:51,920
districts um that are better off than we

2167
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:53,119
are and it is very unfortunate because

2168
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:54,639
of the funding of the State of

2169
01:37:53,119 --> 01:37:56,480
California

2170
01:37:54,639 --> 01:37:57,400
my daughter is a teacher so I totally

2171
01:37:56,480 --> 01:37:59,719
understand when it comes out to

2172
01:37:57,400 --> 01:38:01,719
certificated staff and I'm a classified

2173
01:37:59,719 --> 01:38:04,679
employee at another's District so I

2174
01:38:01,719 --> 01:38:08,159
totally get what everybody is and I do

2175
01:38:04,679 --> 01:38:11,880
want to say um um a comment that

2176
01:38:08,159 --> 01:38:14,920
somebody made about communication I feel

2177
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:18,599
because I do compare our district with

2178
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:21,040
other districts we are transparent as a

2179
01:38:18,599 --> 01:38:24,080
matter of fact sometimes I think not to

2180
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:27,360
say that it's wrong but even Dr Baker

2181
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:29,679
says a lot more than what I was actually

2182
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:32,119
even hoping for um and again I do

2183
01:38:29,679 --> 01:38:35,440
compare it and so I just want to say if

2184
01:38:32,119 --> 01:38:37,840
you ever have any uh miscommunication or

2185
01:38:35,440 --> 01:38:39,480
misunderstanding we are here we do get a

2186
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,440
lot of emails I do want to say thank you

2187
01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:43,840
to all those people that sent us email

2188
01:38:41,440 --> 01:38:45,599
there's just so many and just not enough

2189
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:48,080
time to respond but I do want to

2190
01:38:45,599 --> 01:38:49,800
acknowledge everyone and I just want to

2191
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:52,119
let you guys know that we do care for

2192
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,560
Redwood City we wouldn't be here I mean

2193
01:38:52,119 --> 01:38:56,239
I'm a parent I've always been an

2194
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:58,880
involved parent um and we are here in

2195
01:38:56,239 --> 01:39:00,760
this position because we care um it's

2196
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:04,239
not here for the money

2197
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:06,440
CU we don't get paid much and it's not

2198
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:08,760
again it's just we want to be able to

2199
01:39:06,440 --> 01:39:11,280
help all of our students in Redwood City

2200
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:14,239
so I just want to make you aware that it

2201
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:16,840
does hurt when it comes down to the and

2202
01:39:14,239 --> 01:39:20,280
I want to point out all of the mental

2203
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:22,400
health clinicians or Leons are very

2204
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:24,159
important but I do want to say in the

2205
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,119
case of Maryann

2206
01:39:24,159 --> 01:39:26,760
I love

2207
01:39:25,119 --> 01:39:29,119
you I

2208
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:31,520
mean and I don't want to get sentimental

2209
01:39:29,119 --> 01:39:31,520
but

2210
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:41,800
um I wish I had a person like

2211
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:45,000
you when I was in

2212
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:47,880
school and I get that your

2213
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:50,199
position is going to get

2214
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:53,880
cut but it's tough

2215
01:39:50,199 --> 01:39:55,639
times and it is very unfortunate but

2216
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:58,440
hopefully things will work out just like

2217
01:39:55,639 --> 01:40:02,280
they said there's some vacancy positions

2218
01:39:58,440 --> 01:40:06,599
I hope that all of you that are able to

2219
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:08,159
either get another 02 or a0 five even if

2220
01:40:06,599 --> 01:40:10,320
it's somewhere else remember this is

2221
01:40:08,159 --> 01:40:12,599
still rid City and I think if we care

2222
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:14,119
for our students which you guys all have

2223
01:40:12,599 --> 01:40:17,360
shown that we

2224
01:40:14,119 --> 01:40:19,560
do that you still remain with us because

2225
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:22,040
we do care and who knows maybe you know

2226
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:24,400
the governor will look at things

2227
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:27,560
differently and hopefully we'll get

2228
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:29,119
funded you know soon um it is very

2229
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,719
unfortunate but I just want to let you

2230
01:40:29,119 --> 01:40:33,719
guys know that we totally

2231
01:40:31,719 --> 01:40:37,199
care

2232
01:40:33,719 --> 01:40:40,199
um it's it's tough it really

2233
01:40:37,199 --> 01:40:40,199
is

2234
01:40:40,239 --> 01:40:46,480
um and I I just want to let you guys

2235
01:40:43,239 --> 01:40:51,040
know I don't know how else to express it

2236
01:40:46,480 --> 01:40:53,760
that um we really do mean what we say

2237
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:55,480
and again the recommendations

2238
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:58,199
come from the principls from the

2239
01:40:55,480 --> 01:41:00,560
superintendent they are the Educators

2240
01:40:58,199 --> 01:41:02,080
that actually see what you guys go

2241
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:03,880
through day in and day

2242
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:07,360
out

2243
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:09,480
so we trust them I trust them um and I

2244
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:12,159
just want to say it's definitely hard

2245
01:41:09,480 --> 01:41:14,280
times but it's things that we have to do

2246
01:41:12,159 --> 01:41:16,239
otherwise even if we don't do it now

2247
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:18,560
it's gonna have to be done next year or

2248
01:41:16,239 --> 01:41:21,159
the year before and if we don't start

2249
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:23,040
cutting little by little eventually it's

2250
01:41:21,159 --> 01:41:23,920
going to get even worse um I'm going

2251
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:26,920
back

2252
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:30,480
to my daughter's now 27 years

2253
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:32,280
old and I see three rosil uh staff

2254
01:41:30,480 --> 01:41:34,440
members that I've known for over 20

2255
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:36,239
years and I remember when those cuts

2256
01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:38,159
happened back when my daughter was in

2257
01:41:36,239 --> 01:41:41,920
kindergarten and the district

2258
01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:44,239
unfortunately had to let go of very good

2259
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:46,560
teachers and it was very unfortunate and

2260
01:41:44,239 --> 01:41:49,280
again because of the funding we have to

2261
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:52,080
notify the staff that they're G to get

2262
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:54,199
let go and a month later a position

2263
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:56,760
comes open but unfortunately those

2264
01:41:54,199 --> 01:41:58,440
certificated staff already found a job

2265
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:01,000
at another school district and it's very

2266
01:41:58,440 --> 01:42:02,880
unfortunate of how the system works in

2267
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,400
education so I just want to let you guys

2268
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:08,800
know that we do care and that there are

2269
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:11,360
sometimes unfortunate situations um but

2270
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:13,800
that we totally understand so thank you

2271
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:13,800

that I got that last couple of weeks I

2296
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:28,760
was able to get back to most people but

2297
01:43:26,719 --> 01:43:31,239
not everyone but I was able to read

2298
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:32,880
everything and I I'm sure that's the

2299
01:43:31,239 --> 01:43:34,719
case with all of the board members and

2300
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:37,199
again it's really important for us to

2301
01:43:34,719 --> 01:43:40,760
hear from you I I I I truly believe that

2302
01:43:37,199 --> 01:43:42,280
it does help us make better decisions um

2303
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:44,920
and then I want to give just a special

2304
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:47,599
shout out to all of our teachers and all

2305
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:49,719
of our staff in Redwood City you work so

2306
01:43:47,599 --> 01:43:52,239
hard every single day for our students

2307
01:43:49,719 --> 01:43:54,520
and families and much of that came out

2308
01:43:52,239 --> 01:43:56,400
tonight in uh what we heard from

2309
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:59,840
speakers as well as the emails that I

2310
01:43:56,400 --> 01:44:02,320
got and I really appreciate it I've uh

2311
01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:04,440
been a Schoolboard member for 17 years

2312
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:06,440
and uh when I started on the school

2313
01:44:04,440 --> 01:44:09,080
board back in

2314
01:44:06,440 --> 01:44:10,280
2007 I came on with all these ideas of

2315
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:13,480
things that I wanted to do for our

2316
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:15,199
district and for our students right and

2317
01:44:13,480 --> 01:44:18,560
then we went right into the Great

2318
01:44:15,199 --> 01:44:19,880
Recession and we had to do drastic Cuts

2319
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:22,760
I mean much worse than what we're

2320
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:26,480
talking about today we we got down into

2321
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:29,159
class classrooms um it was horrible um

2322
01:44:26,480 --> 01:44:32,199
really horrible and so I have seen this

2323
01:44:29,159 --> 01:44:34,480
happen before um we're able to kind of

2324
01:44:32,199 --> 01:44:36,360
build back from the Great Recession uh

2325
01:44:34,480 --> 01:44:39,560
frankly Rood city school district has

2326
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:41,239
never had enough money to fully fund our

2327
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,239
education provide for our students what

2328
01:44:41,239 --> 01:44:44,560
they really

2329
01:44:42,239 --> 01:44:47,199
deserve however what I'm really proud

2330
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:49,560
about is it's amazing that even with the

2331
01:44:47,199 --> 01:44:51,320
little engine who could is how I feel a

2332
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:53,360
lot of times we are still able to

2333
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:54,960
provide a high quality education and we

2334
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:58,320
heard from some of the parents and

2335
01:44:54,960 --> 01:45:00,719
students both in emails and tonight how

2336
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:02,679
they are getting the education um and

2337
01:45:00,719 --> 01:45:04,719
they're happy with school and they love

2338
01:45:02,679 --> 01:45:06,560
their teachers and they love their staff

2339
01:45:04,719 --> 01:45:09,280
and so even with all of that we're still

2340
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:11,440
able to provide and I want to remind us

2341
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:13,080
that we have all well actually since my

2342
01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:15,280
17 years in the school district we have

2343
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:17,320
always relied on one-time funding we've

2344
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:19,760
always relied on patchworking things

2345
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:22,800
together it always looks worse in March

2346
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:25,119
than it does in August um because by the

2347
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:27,000
time time we get to August uh a little

2348
01:45:25,119 --> 01:45:30,040
more money has come in as a lot of

2349
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:31,840
people have spoken about tonight so uh

2350
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:35,280
we know that there's some grant funding

2351
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:36,840
some donations um we have a parcel tax

2352
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:39,679
we're going to talk about uh later

2353
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:41,920
tonight and just to keep in mind really

2354
01:45:39,679 --> 01:45:43,800
there's very few additional funding I

2355
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:46,119
mean we are a property tax funded

2356
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:48,320
District so we get primarily our funding

2357
01:45:46,119 --> 01:45:50,159
from property taxes we get a little bit

2358
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:52,719
of extra State funding a little bit of

2359
01:45:50,159 --> 01:45:54,000
extra Federal funding again I will point

2360
01:45:52,719 --> 01:45:56,000
out that the state and federal

2361
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:59,360
government they have never funded

2362
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:01,360
special ed fully in fact it is it's in

2363
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:03,560
my opinion it's criminal how little they

2364
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:05,360
give us for special ed students and it's

2365
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:07,159
and and they're the ones who who mandate

2366
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:09,159
it and of course we believe that our

2367
01:46:07,159 --> 01:46:11,000
special ed students deserve it right so

2368
01:46:09,159 --> 01:46:12,360
let's just start with there that that

2369
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,679
that the state and federal government

2370
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:16,440
are not providing the funding that they

2371
01:46:13,679 --> 01:46:18,119
need to provide so we have to we have to

2372
01:46:16,440 --> 01:46:20,239
look inward we have to look to our

2373
01:46:18,119 --> 01:46:22,159
community and we have very few ways of

2374
01:46:20,239 --> 01:46:24,080
doing that we can look for donations or

2375
01:46:22,159 --> 01:46:26,119
we can look for a part tax so I

2376
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:28,159
appreciate the the conversations about

2377
01:46:26,119 --> 01:46:30,880
creativity and I certainly welcome any

2378
01:46:28,159 --> 01:46:33,119
ideas you have and certainly we do lease

2379
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:35,679
out School sites and classrooms where we

2380
01:46:33,119 --> 01:46:39,119
can um but all of those things are on

2381
01:46:35,679 --> 01:46:41,040
the margin really of what we need so you

2382
01:46:39,119 --> 01:46:45,119
know we will continue to speak creative

2383
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:46,320
creative creativity creatively sorry um

2384
01:46:45,119 --> 01:46:48,440
and I encourage you if you have any

2385
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:50,719
specific ideas please email me I know

2386
01:46:48,440 --> 01:46:53,840
we're always happy to to um look into

2387
01:46:50,719 --> 01:46:55,239
those um anyway I want to also just

2388
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,920
point out I was doing just a little

2389
01:46:55,239 --> 01:46:58,880
research and some of the data was a

2390
01:46:56,920 --> 01:47:00,880
little bit old but just keep in mind

2391
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:03,800
like when people compare us to palala

2392
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:06,360
Unified School District they are um

2393
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:10,080
spending way more money including more

2394
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:11,360
than $110,000 per student a year if we

2395
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:14,400
had that kind of money we'd have another

2396
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:16,639
$60 million uh in our school district

2397
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:18,880
imagine what we could do because the the

2398
01:47:16,639 --> 01:47:20,960
cuts before us today are just minuscule

2399
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:23,360
compared to that $60 million we would be

2400
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:26,080
able to provide so much more right if we

2401
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:28,159
had the P Alto funding um mow park has

2402
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:31,440
more than $5,000 per student more than

2403
01:47:28,159 --> 01:47:32,760
us so again that'd be $30 million so

2404
01:47:31,440 --> 01:47:34,440
just think of what we could do with that

2405
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:36,080
so the point I want to bring up is that

2406
01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:38,880
Redwood City is a little engine who

2407
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:40,760
could I'm really proud of what we do um

2408
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:42,920
but unfortunately this is the cycle we

2409
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:45,119
get one-time funding and then when that

2410
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:47,040
funding goes away we have to either lay

2411
01:47:45,119 --> 01:47:49,520
off those positions or we have to find

2412
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:51,639
new money so unfortunately the way the

2413
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:53,440
system works also is that we have to

2414
01:47:51,639 --> 01:47:56,400
give the notice to all of our employees

2415
01:47:53,440 --> 01:47:58,199
by March 15th as was discussed and so we

2416
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:59,840
may still continue and I mean we've

2417
01:47:58,199 --> 01:48:01,679
already heard tonight that we we know

2418
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:03,320
there's some additional money coming in

2419
01:48:01,679 --> 01:48:04,960
so hopefully we can bring back some of

2420
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:06,840
these positions and I've seen it

2421
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:09,840
year-over-year we often are able to

2422
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:11,639
bring back a few of them um and I I

2423
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:14,440
really care about all of the things we

2424
01:48:11,639 --> 01:48:18,159
talked about the mental health the steam

2425
01:48:14,440 --> 01:48:20,639
um ev Everything so anyway I I just want

2426
01:48:18,159 --> 01:48:22,280
to oh and music I think music's not part

2427
01:48:20,639 --> 01:48:23,400
of theme so I want to make sure oh no I

2428
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:26,080
guess maybe it is

2429
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:27,880
um anyway but I just want to say thank

2430
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:30,560
you I'm I'm really sorry to those

2431
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:32,560
individuals who are impacted um I know

2432
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:35,360
how hard it is I've talked to a few of

2433
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:38,560
you I've gotten emails um please know

2434
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:41,679
that we value you and I I I'm really

2435
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:43,960
happy to hear from Miss Kelly that uh we

2436
01:48:41,679 --> 01:48:45,400
should have positions for everybody if

2437
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:47,679
we're not able to bring back the

2438
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:52,040
position you're currently holding as

2439
01:48:47,679 --> 01:48:54,840
money comes in so anyway um with a with

2440
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:58,320
a heavy heart I will be supporting this

2441
01:48:54,840 --> 01:49:00,080
resolution um but once again you know

2442
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:02,480
I've had to make a lot of hard decisions

2443
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:04,360
as a Schoolboard member and some of them

2444
01:49:02,480 --> 01:49:06,360
I believe are not the best interest for

2445
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:09,480
students but it's what we have to do in

2446
01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:11,480
order to maintain our financial

2447
01:49:09,480 --> 01:49:12,760
stability because I can tell you that if

2448
01:49:11,480 --> 01:49:15,599
we don't maintain our financial

2449
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:18,440
stability the state will come in and

2450
01:49:15,599 --> 01:49:19,960
they don't they don't even listen to all

2451
01:49:18,440 --> 01:49:22,280
these comments they're just going to go

2452
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:24,599
in on a tactical basis to start cutting

2453
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:25,960
things I mean it's not it's not a Humane

2454
01:49:24,599 --> 01:49:27,560
process you can talk to any of the

2455
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,440
school districts that have had it done

2456
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:31,280
and it takes years and years to recover

2457
01:49:29,440 --> 01:49:33,520
from that sort of thing so we don't even

2458
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:35,840
want to get close to that happening so I

2459
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:41,080
do want to say um thank you very much to

2460
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:43,360
Dr Baker to our CBO uh Rick um and just

2461
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:45,679
to all the District staff and to the

2462
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:47,639
principles who have worked really hard

2463
01:49:45,679 --> 01:49:50,000
on this I know it's really hard hard

2464
01:49:47,639 --> 01:49:52,400
decisions um it's never easy to make

2465
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:54,360
these recommendations um and I know that

2466
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:56,239
I've had some conversations and I feel

2467
01:49:54,360 --> 01:50:00,199
comfortable with the process that we

2468
01:49:56,239 --> 01:50:02,920
used um so anyway uh thank you everybody

2469
01:50:00,199 --> 01:50:04,520
and um again I I W you know I I wish I

2470
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:06,320
wish we just had more money so we got to

2471
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:08,199
work towards that and we'll have an

2472
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:12,199
agenda item later on the agenda where we

2473
01:50:08,199 --> 01:50:12,199
can talk about that thank

2474
01:50:12,239 --> 01:50:15,480
you thanks

2475
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:20,520
Elisa hey folks um I I want to

2476
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:24,239
acknowledge this is a really tough

2477
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:25,520
situation uh my son Max is at Ryan you

2478
01:50:24,239 --> 01:50:28,440
heard a number of other speakers from

2479
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:30,400
Ryan his favorite class there is his

2480
01:50:28,440 --> 01:50:33,400
steam class you know so we got a number

2481
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:36,599
of notes advocating for steam education

2482
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:39,599
that hey it's really important um and I

2483
01:50:36,599 --> 01:50:41,400
I I couldn't agree more um and this is

2484
01:50:39,599 --> 01:50:45,000
something that's going to impact my own

2485
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:46,440
children so it's like I I I I resonate

2486
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,840
um with the arguments that were made

2487
01:50:46,440 --> 01:50:51,880
about the importance here um I really

2488
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:55,159
appreciated the comments like from Erin

2489
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:57,760
about the the brain development in the

2490
01:50:55,159 --> 01:51:00,360
use of the the Arts and Performing and

2491
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:03,159
music um I really appreciated the notes

2492
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:05,000
from The Librarians um Li public

2493
01:51:03,159 --> 01:51:07,239
libraries played a really important role

2494
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,719
in my own education and I think it's

2495
01:51:07,239 --> 01:51:11,920
really important that we support them

2496
01:51:08,719 --> 01:51:14,800
here in the district uh we are Pro Steam

2497
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:16,719
we're proarts we're pro libraries and we

2498
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:19,360
also have to be Pro balanced budget and

2499
01:51:16,719 --> 01:51:22,760
that puts us in a really crappy position

2500
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:25,719
um so uh it's been really amazing just

2501
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:27,679
to see the passion all of the different

2502
01:51:25,719 --> 01:51:29,199

2536
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:56,840
we can help support and fund these roles

2537
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:59,239
going forward so thank you so much for

2538
01:52:56,840 --> 01:53:03,800
everyone who's come out who spoken and

2539
01:52:59,239 --> 01:53:03,800
who cares about the students of this

2540
01:53:08,599 --> 01:53:14,920
District this is

2541
01:53:12,199 --> 01:53:17,960
um the hardest or one of the hardest the

2542
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:20,679
hardest part of the job um as a

2543
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:23,599
Schoolboard member uh a few years ago we

2544
01:53:20,679 --> 01:53:25,079
we had to cut 18 million um that was my

2545
01:53:23,599 --> 01:53:28,880
first experience as a board member

2546
01:53:25,079 --> 01:53:31,280
having to having to cut um and that was

2547
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:32,440
really difficult um thankfully I had

2548
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:34,800
colleagues aside me that had gone

2549
01:53:32,440 --> 01:53:36,560
through like Alisa the the recession

2550
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:39,840
before that

2551
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:41,360
um I've read every email I admittedly

2552
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:43,239
have not responded to every single one

2553
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:47,000
but I've gotten to a lot of them I think

2554
01:53:43,239 --> 01:53:49,040
every email up through 5:30 tonight um

2555
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:51,520
I've read all the comments on the

2556
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:54,440
Facebook page I've read all the comments

2557
01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:54,440
on next door

2558
01:53:56,760 --> 01:54:01,520
um and I just I I want to remind people

2559
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:03,119
this is not and I think everybody here

2560
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:05,040
has heard this this is not a top- down

2561
01:54:03,119 --> 01:54:07,920
decision this went out to the school

2562
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:09,679
sites um the principals helped make

2563
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,840
decisions about what was important for

2564
01:54:09,679 --> 01:54:14,239
their school sites to keep and what they

2565
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:18,280
felt like they could cut in order to

2566
01:54:14,239 --> 01:54:20,119
help us balance the budget um this is

2567
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:23,040
not the school board sitting here

2568
01:54:20,119 --> 01:54:26,360
saying You must all reduce these

2569
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:29,159
positions or else um we care very much

2570
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:30,880
about what happens on each School site

2571
01:54:29,159 --> 01:54:34,880
um we care about the culture we care

2572
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:38,639
about the students and the staff there

2573
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:41,760
um I have always been a huge champion of

2574
01:54:38,639 --> 01:54:43,239
music and arts um that was my life

2575
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:47,679
growing up

2576
01:54:43,239 --> 01:54:50,760
um my now high schooler um was in

2577
01:54:47,679 --> 01:54:54,440
Orchestra at Kennedy my now sixth grader

2578
01:54:50,760 --> 01:54:57,199
um just loves his steam Club at Kennedy

2579
01:54:54,440 --> 01:55:00,199
um you know I was on the road City

2580
01:54:57,199 --> 01:55:01,520
Library board for seven years um there

2581
01:55:00,199 --> 01:55:03,400
these are things I'm passionate about

2582
01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:06,119
and I don't disagree with you I've read

2583
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:08,520
the science

2584
01:55:06,119 --> 01:55:12,079
behind what music and art does to a

2585
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:16,199
brain um I understand how important it

2586
01:55:12,079 --> 01:55:18,360
is I wish we had an extra $60 million to

2587
01:55:16,199 --> 01:55:21,199
put into this District

2588
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:23,199
um as has been mentioned and I think

2589
01:55:21,199 --> 01:55:25,199
everybody here knows

2590
01:55:23,199 --> 01:55:27,119
we don't have a choice as to when we

2591
01:55:25,199 --> 01:55:30,719
make these decisions it would be

2592
01:55:27,119 --> 01:55:32,000
irresponsible to um push this off and

2593
01:55:30,719 --> 01:55:35,159
then be

2594
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:36,520
stuck having to find funding for them

2595
01:55:35,159 --> 01:55:38,560
when we don't know where that funding is

2596
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:40,920
going to come from if that funding comes

2597
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:43,000
in I am all for bringing those positions

2598
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:44,800
back as much as we can and we've done it

2599
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:48,599
in the past

2600
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:51,960
um I'm I'm hopeful that we will be able

2601
01:55:48,599 --> 01:55:55,679
to do that come you know the fall I Dr

2602
01:55:51,960 --> 01:56:01,079
Baker is just absolutely like a magician

2603
01:55:55,679 --> 01:56:04,119
making money appear um

2604
01:56:01,079 --> 01:56:05,480
I it's always just only 500k and then

2605
01:56:04,119 --> 01:56:08,639
there's then there's a little bit more

2606
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:12,440
and a little bit more um I I don't know

2607
01:56:08,639 --> 01:56:15,040
what money tree he found but um you know

2608
01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:18,480
this this isn't easy um

2609
01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:19,760
I I'm born and raised in rwood city I am

2610
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:23,000
a product of the road City School

2611
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:25,159
District as is Cecilia um I care about

2612
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:27,639
it I care about the schools uh I care

2613
01:56:25,159 --> 01:56:30,520
about the community um and I hate to

2614
01:56:27,639 --> 01:56:33,560
make decisions that hurt people and hurt

2615
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:34,880
families um as my dad taught me growing

2616
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,960
up sometimes I have to do the hard

2617
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:39,440
things even if I don't want to do them

2618
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:42,079
um and so you know with that said I I

2619
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:42,079
will support the

2620
01:56:44,239 --> 01:56:47,239
resolution

2621
01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:51,040
um

2622
01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:52,760
yeah number one is just to thank

2623
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:55,800
everyone who's here tonight and number

2624
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:59,040
two all those that are online virtually

2625
01:56:55,800 --> 01:57:01,320
um this is a very difficult time for

2626
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:03,360
anybody that has to bring forward by

2627
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:05,599
anyone I mean a superintendent that

2628
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:07,800
brings forward uh a resolution like this

2629
01:57:05,599 --> 01:57:11,159
to the Board of Education I didn't think

2630
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:14,719
I'd be in this situation since the

2631
01:57:11,159 --> 01:57:19,360
closing of school which was horrendous

2632
01:57:14,719 --> 01:57:22,199
as many of you went through that with us

2633
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:24,119
um I'll get off my soap box but we have

2634
01:57:22,199 --> 01:57:26,760
to be funded well funded well and that's

2635
01:57:24,119 --> 01:57:29,320
by the state

2636
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:31,599
um I I know an you made the comment

2637
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:33,480
about basic aid but the basic Aid

2638
01:57:31,599 --> 01:57:36,520
dollars are minimal compared to our

2639
01:57:33,480 --> 01:57:40,119
neighbors on at in the South and to the

2640
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:43,800
north of us um if that were to Able ever

2641
01:57:40,119 --> 01:57:46,400
change we'd have an equal opportunity as

2642
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:48,719
they do to provide everything that um

2643
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:50,920
they provide to their communities and to

2644
01:57:48,719 --> 01:57:53,719
their students uh but we're not there

2645
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:56,639
yet and I don't know what or when

2646
01:57:53,719 --> 01:57:58,040
that'll ever happen it was very

2647
01:57:56,639 --> 01:57:59,760
difficult for the principles to even

2648
01:57:58,040 --> 01:58:02,239
hear this information when we went

2649
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:05,480
through it right after winter

2650
01:58:02,239 --> 01:58:08,440
break um about what we were going to

2651
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:10,520
need to do and we looked at each of

2652
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:13,280
these different types of fundings we

2653
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:16,400
were receiving and the amount of money

2654
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:19,360
that was being allotted for each of them

2655
01:58:16,400 --> 01:58:23,480
and um they said aren't you going to

2656
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:25,920
tell us what to cut no

2657
01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:28,639
they are there with you teachers and

2658
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:32,480
staff and parents they know the

2659
01:58:28,639 --> 01:58:35,480
community so much better than we do we

2660
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:37,800
are here to support their work and your

2661
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:41,480
work and I know maybe you don't believe

2662
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:45,480
that but we we do and so I have a lot of

2663
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:48,679
faith in our site administrators and um

2664
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:50,320
many of them right now are out searching

2665
01:58:48,679 --> 01:58:52,840
for additional

2666
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:55,840
dollars they are looking at creative

2667
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:57,480
ways of using the measure U dollars

2668
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:59,719
which are the parcel tax dollars which

2669
01:58:57,480 --> 01:59:02,480
they have along with their schools side

2670
01:58:59,719 --> 01:59:06,079
councils and their staff's total control

2671
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:08,639
of we do not mandate how they are

2672
01:59:06,079 --> 01:59:11,320
utilized with the exception that they

2673
01:59:08,639 --> 01:59:15,079
follow the guidelines that were

2674
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:17,960
stipulated and the parcel tax language

2675
01:59:15,079 --> 01:59:20,880
and that's that that uh spreadsheet that

2676
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:23,320
comes to the board every year sometimes

2677
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:25,239
addendums come during the the year of

2678
01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:28,239
how that moneyy is going to be spent and

2679
01:59:25,239 --> 01:59:33,560
then it goes before our public oversight

2680
01:59:28,239 --> 01:59:38,199
committee that reviews it so I believe

2681
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:41,800
with those small extra dollars they're

2682
01:59:38,199 --> 01:59:44,199
going to Cobble some things together but

2683
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:46,679
as was expressed this evening we're just

2684
01:59:44,199 --> 01:59:51,480
up against that deadline for March 15 I

2685
01:59:46,679 --> 01:59:52,679
wish I wish it were May 15 but that's

2686
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,960
just not going to happen happen it's

2687
01:59:52,679 --> 01:59:58,599
it's Ed code

2688
01:59:54,960 --> 02:00:00,119
so I value each and every one of the

2689
01:59:58,599 --> 02:00:01,960
employees that we have in this school

2690
02:00:00,119 --> 02:00:04,360
district many of you have known for you

2691
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:06,520
for years and we go back a long time

2692
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:10,400
Sherry we do too and the other K

2693
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:12,199
teachers we do also at Rosevelt um and

2694
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:15,560
have been with us during those rough

2695
02:00:12,199 --> 02:00:18,159
times when two years in a row this board

2696
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:20,960
I was not the superintendent I was in HR

2697
02:00:18,159 --> 02:00:23,119
two years in a row they released 50

2698
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:24,159
teachers I'm not talking just CL not

2699
02:00:23,119 --> 02:00:27,920
talking I'm not even getting to the

2700
02:00:24,159 --> 02:00:31,520
classified it was 50 teachers each

2701
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:34,040
year and you talk about a board that was

2702
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:36,119
crying at the end of each of those

2703
02:00:34,040 --> 02:00:38,480
evenings and each of those

2704
02:00:36,119 --> 02:00:40,480
years I'm glad we're not at that point

2705
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:43,840
we're not there but this is just as

2706
02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:45,400
hurtful this is just as hurtful so again

2707
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:47,320
thank you all for being here this

2708
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:50,679
evening and we will move forward and get

2709
02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:50,679
through this together thank

2710
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:55,320
you

2711
02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:58,159
I'm sorry Bor but this is an action item

2712
02:00:55,320 --> 02:01:01,520
that we need a motion

2713
02:00:58,159 --> 02:01:04,000
on I will make a motion to adopt

2714
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,000

minute break I feel like we have some

2723
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:42,679
other important items to get to how does

2724
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:46,520
the board feel right

2725
02:01:42,679 --> 02:01:49,639
now let not let's going keep going okay

2726
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:49,639
so that brings us to

2727
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:53,840
7.3

2728
02:01:54,199 --> 02:01:58,159
and yes thank you for those who are here

2729
02:01:55,920 --> 02:02:00,560
if you need to step out that's fine we

2730
02:01:58,159 --> 02:02:00,560
won't be

2731
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:23,840
offended

2732
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:49,000
so wheny do you want to move forward

2733
02:02:47,199 --> 02:02:53,000
with this next

2734
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:54,960
item thank you so the next item is

2735
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:58,480
regarding our classified staff the

2736
02:02:54,960 --> 02:03:00,599
reduction of classified staff and so the

2737
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:03,360
resolution number eight outlines the

2738
02:03:00,599 --> 02:03:07,040
number of positions uh districtwide

2739
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:10,400
Andor various School sites that um are a

2740
02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:12,320
result of a recommendation of a layoff

2741
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:14,400
some of them certainly are with one-time

2742
02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:17,440
monies but others

2743
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:20,040
are uh there's rationale for other

2744
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:22,040
reasons for example our campus

2745
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:24,320
supervisors and our school office assist

2746
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:27,679
categories were really as a result of

2747
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:31,960
looking at the enrollment the major

2748
02:03:27,679 --> 02:03:33,960
enrollment changes or addressing the

2749
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:35,800
Staffing that was implemented right

2750
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:40,199
after the merge or the closure of

2751
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:43,480
schools and so um those particular

2752
02:03:40,199 --> 02:03:46,360
positions additional support was given

2753
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:47,480
to Kennedy and

2754
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:52,239
[Music]

2755
02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:55,199
um and you adante certainly because of

2756
02:03:52,239 --> 02:03:57,440
the merge and and Garfield as well for

2757
02:03:55,199 --> 02:04:02,159
many years and it was time to make a

2758
02:03:57,440 --> 02:04:04,840
recommendation for that uh FTE support

2759
02:04:02,159 --> 02:04:06,559
to be reduced based on the enrollment

2760
02:04:04,840 --> 02:04:10,320
for example Garfield is hovering around

2761
02:04:06,559 --> 02:04:14,159
312 students and so the extra office

2762
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:16,480
support um was is a recommendation to be

2763
02:04:14,159 --> 02:04:19,679
reduced so that's one

2764
02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:21,800
example the other items on here um are

2765
02:04:19,679 --> 02:04:23,000
addressing onetime monies the bilingual

2766
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:25,920
newcomer

2767
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:27,239
programs um some lbns we talked about

2768
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:30,360
the classified

2769
02:04:27,239 --> 02:04:33,199
managers so that those positions are as

2770
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:34,840
a result of of the lack of funding which

2771
02:04:33,199 --> 02:04:37,119
are the two reasons why there's a layoff

2772
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:39,800
lack of work or lack of funding the

2773
02:04:37,119 --> 02:04:43,119
recruitment migrant education program

2774
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:46,520
has changed the SEL County of office of

2775
02:04:43,119 --> 02:04:48,840
Ed is now hosting that program and so

2776
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:50,639
that is the rationale behind uh the lack

2777
02:04:48,840 --> 02:04:52,199
of work so to speak meaning that work

2778
02:04:50,639 --> 02:04:57,320
shifted

2779
02:04:52,199 --> 02:04:57,320
I do want to address the library media

two years ago right now Mr marara is

2811
02:08:55,639 --> 02:08:59,840
there and thanks to the staff H for the

2812
02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:04,000
education that they're giving our

2813
02:08:59,840 --> 02:09:07,400
children and well I I'm here uh to give

2814
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:09,559
importance about the counseling H for

2815
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:12,000
for students right I have a

2816
02:09:09,559 --> 02:09:14,760
seven-year-old a daughter that tends to

2817
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:16,360
T then she needs counseling so then the

2818
02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:18,800
same thing that you know that I have a

2819
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:22,559
girl there's many families that they

2820
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:25,280
also need that support and what would

2821
02:09:22,559 --> 02:09:26,840
happen without support you know where

2822
02:09:25,280 --> 02:09:29,199
where are they going to send our

2823
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:32,040
children uh you know the trauma that

2824
02:09:29,199 --> 02:09:34,280
they have they are not going to there's

2825
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:36,199
not there's not a person that's going to

2826
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:39,400
give a follow up to the trauma that they

2827
02:09:36,199 --> 02:09:41,520
have and where we sending them uh then

2828
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:44,159
later on they're going to uh maybe

2829
02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:46,119
become drug addicts or uh there's like a

2830
02:09:44,159 --> 02:09:48,159
school shooting or for all of the trauma

2831
02:09:46,119 --> 02:09:50,639
that they have so I think that if

2832
02:09:48,159 --> 02:09:53,280
there's therapy in schools and if they

2833
02:09:50,639 --> 02:09:56,320
are those and if we have the necessary

2834
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:59,679
budget to give them the support to our

2835
02:09:56,320 --> 02:10:02,400
children then that would be good and we

2836
02:09:59,679 --> 02:10:04,760
have it um yes so

2837
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:08,239
then when I wanted

2838
02:10:04,760 --> 02:10:10,400
to I wanted to you know to I wanted us

2839
02:10:08,239 --> 02:10:12,800
to have enough funds because the way

2840
02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:14,639
that I have a a daughter there are many

2841
02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:17,800
families that have children in the same

2842
02:10:14,639 --> 02:10:20,480
situation we want our children to to

2843
02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:23,400
grow up happy and to grow up to have a

2844
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:26,360
happy childhood hood and have good a

2845
02:10:23,400 --> 02:10:30,040
good education and to be successful in

2846
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:30,040
the future thank you very

2847
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:48,840
much okay

2848
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:51,760
so uh I was addressing the PKS

2849
02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:54,320
classified reduction document

2850
02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:58,800
and describing the various um components

2851
02:10:54,320 --> 02:11:01,480
so the last group on the PKS reduction

2852
02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:03,880
is library media assistance and I I want

2853
02:11:01,480 --> 02:11:06,840
to be really crystal clear about this

2854
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:09,840
every school will have a librarian next

2855
02:11:06,840 --> 02:11:13,920
year what needs to happen in this

2856
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:18,800
process is that we need

2857
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:20,760
to take a look at this position and the

2858
02:11:18,800 --> 02:11:21,880
district has an interest in changing it

2859
02:11:20,760 --> 02:11:24,079
and I'll

2860
02:11:21,880 --> 02:11:27,000
explain um we entered into a

2861
02:11:24,079 --> 02:11:29,000
conversation with CCA last week

2862
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:31,400
regarding all of the layoffs of course

2863
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:33,280
we do that prior to this meeting and

2864
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:35,639
inform them and go through the list and

2865
02:11:33,280 --> 02:11:37,040
so forth and it will then lead to a

2866
02:11:35,639 --> 02:11:39,599
follow-up discussion which we've

2867
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:42,199
scheduled already for March 21st but we

2868
02:11:39,599 --> 02:11:44,719
are meeting tomorrow uh specifically at

2869
02:11:42,199 --> 02:11:46,920
the about the librarian situation

2870
02:11:44,719 --> 02:11:51,800
there's a desire for the district for

2871
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:54,239
Equity purposes to move the LMA we call

2872
02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:57,719
it library media assistant position to

2873
02:11:54,239 --> 02:12:01,199
an lmta and I'll explain what that

2874
02:11:57,719 --> 02:12:05,239
means gosh roughly 12ish years ago don't

2875
02:12:01,199 --> 02:12:07,840
quote me on that but a while back um

2876
02:12:05,239 --> 02:12:10,840
there were two job descriptions created

2877
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:12,599
for librarians one is the LMA job

2878
02:12:10,840 --> 02:12:14,760
description and the other one is the

2879
02:12:12,599 --> 02:12:18,920
lmta the

2880
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:22,520
lmta uh job description requires extra

2881
02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:25,119
education 18 units to earn an lmta

2882
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:28,159
certificate it's a library media techn

2883
02:12:25,119 --> 02:12:31,000
technical associate certificate which

2884
02:12:28,159 --> 02:12:33,079
included you know quite a few things a

2885
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:37,000
primary focus on digital media and so

2886
02:12:33,079 --> 02:12:40,280
forth and so years ago there was the

2887
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:43,159
ability for the L all LM lmas at that

2888
02:12:40,280 --> 02:12:46,440
time to be sort of uh grandfathered in

2889
02:12:43,159 --> 02:12:48,320
to be in positions of lmta which came

2890
02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:49,960
with you know a significantly higher pay

2891
02:12:48,320 --> 02:12:52,760
increase with a different job

2892
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:55,960
description so that was years ago so as

2893
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:57,480
time has progressed we currently have 11

2894
02:12:55,960 --> 02:13:00,199
libraries in our district because

2895
02:12:57,480 --> 02:13:02,840
Northstar and MIT share one we have 12

2896
02:13:00,199 --> 02:13:07,239
sites but 11 libraries and they are

2897
02:13:02,840 --> 02:13:10,760
filled with nine lmta Librarians and

2898
02:13:07,239 --> 02:13:12,480
three LMA Librarians and while we adore

2899
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:16,079
the people in those positions and they

2900
02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:19,520
have worked very hard um we do want to

2901
02:13:16,079 --> 02:13:23,320
infuse and ensure that the students at

2902
02:13:19,520 --> 02:13:26,320
the LMA Library Library sites can have

2903
02:13:23,320 --> 02:13:28,000
access to you know a more robust

2904
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:31,040
librarian program which is being

2905
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:33,559
developed by the teacher librarian uh

2906
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:36,599
Beth Berlin Stevens and so in order to

2907
02:13:33,559 --> 02:13:39,480
do that we need to lay off the position

2908
02:13:36,599 --> 02:13:40,800
to add back the lmta position which is

2909
02:13:39,480 --> 02:13:44,520
the goal of the

2910
02:13:40,800 --> 02:13:46,840
district now once a layoff occurs for

2911
02:13:44,520 --> 02:13:49,360
example tonight should the board take

2912
02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:52,520
action the district negotiates the

2913
02:13:49,360 --> 02:13:55,480
effect of the layoff with CCA which

2914
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:58,000
means that we sit with csca into a

2915
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:59,719
formal meeting and talk through the

2916
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:02,719
ramifications of this knowing that we

2917
02:13:59,719 --> 02:14:04,440
have seasoned Librarians how could we

2918
02:14:02,719 --> 02:14:06,320
make this work and so those are the

2919
02:14:04,440 --> 02:14:07,320
brainstorm ideas that will be occurring

2920
02:14:06,320 --> 02:14:08,960
tomorrow

2921
02:14:07,320 --> 02:14:13,599
afternoon

2922
02:14:08,960 --> 02:14:15,199
um and with the intent to do so two of

2923
02:14:13,599 --> 02:14:18,440
the LMA

2924
02:14:15,199 --> 02:14:21,280
libraries Librarians at the libraries

2925
02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:23,280
are at Garfield and Hoover which are two

2926
02:14:21,280 --> 02:14:27,599
of our high priority sites the other one

2927
02:14:23,280 --> 02:14:29,760
is uh Clifford and so with that it is a

2928
02:14:27,599 --> 02:14:31,920
desire within the board Equity goals to

2929
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:35,840
really ensure that those

2930
02:14:31,920 --> 02:14:38,599
programs um are are essentially equal

2931
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:41,960
amongst all of our 11 school 11 uh

2932
02:14:38,599 --> 02:14:45,440
district schools that are affected so

2933
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:47,280
for multiple years we've had differences

2934
02:14:45,440 --> 02:14:51,159
in those job descriptions and I think

2935
02:14:47,280 --> 02:14:53,199
it's time to address that um in regards

2936
02:14:51,159 --> 02:14:55,559
to the comment made earlier regarding a

2937
02:14:53,199 --> 02:14:59,639
reclassification there has not been a

2938
02:14:55,559 --> 02:15:01,320
reclass approved um that was erroneous

2939
02:14:59,639 --> 02:15:04,000
it is going through the process but

2940
02:15:01,320 --> 02:15:07,400
there's not been an approval such at

2941
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:11,280
this time so that um is one thing and

2942
02:15:07,400 --> 02:15:12,400
that reclass um topic was about making

2943
02:15:11,280 --> 02:15:15,040
the current

2944
02:15:12,400 --> 02:15:17,239
lmas uh that are in those positions earn

2945
02:15:15,040 --> 02:15:21,320
the same salary as the lmta without the

2946
02:15:17,239 --> 02:15:23,679
certificate and so that's why um you

2947
02:15:21,320 --> 02:15:26,800
know that's sort of irre irrelevant of

2948
02:15:23,679 --> 02:15:30,280
this topic tonight the district's desire

2949
02:15:26,800 --> 02:15:33,400
is to bring back the lmta C certificated

2950
02:15:30,280 --> 02:15:34,960
employees for those three positions and

2951
02:15:33,400 --> 02:15:36,520
so that's why it's on the resolution

2952
02:15:34,960 --> 02:15:39,679
tonight because this is the moment in

2953
02:15:36,520 --> 02:15:42,599
time in which we can uh consider that

2954
02:15:39,679 --> 02:15:44,480
request but to be perfectly clear every

2955
02:15:42,599 --> 02:15:46,840
single school will have a library next

2956
02:15:44,480 --> 02:15:49,639
year that's already going to be in place

2957
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:52,199
a librarian excuse me at the library so

2958
02:15:49,639 --> 02:15:55,719
I wanted to uh describe the situations

2959
02:15:52,199 --> 02:15:58,320
regarding the um resolution for

2960
02:15:55,719 --> 02:15:58,320
classified

2961
02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:06,239

2966
02:16:19,239 --> 02:16:24,719
might be affected and

2967
02:16:21,719 --> 02:16:30,079
uh and and probably many others are

2968
02:16:24,719 --> 02:16:32,679
online right now and they um they as

2969
02:16:30,079 --> 02:16:34,160
many others are crucial for of our

2970
02:16:32,679 --> 02:16:37,319
Student

2971
02:16:34,160 --> 02:16:39,719

district classify employees union I

2975
02:16:45,399 --> 02:16:49,639
understand that you've been asked to

2976
02:16:46,519 --> 02:16:51,519
consider layoffs of classified staff at

2977
02:16:49,639 --> 02:16:54,040
tonight's meeting

2978
02:16:51,519 --> 02:16:56,000
csca opposes the layoff of any

2979
02:16:54,040 --> 02:16:58,519
classified employees and we believe the

2980
02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:01,880
district should explore Alternatives

2981
02:16:58,519 --> 02:17:04,439
mean of cutting cost which do not

2982
02:17:01,880 --> 02:17:07,359
include eliminating the staff that works

2983
02:17:04,439 --> 02:17:08,880
so hard to seror students and

2984
02:17:07,359 --> 02:17:11,719
communities

2985
02:17:08,880 --> 02:17:14,040
CSA respectfully requests that you do

2986
02:17:11,719 --> 02:17:16,840

Hamilton Hamil oh okay okay um well I've

started notes and then I've changed it

2998
02:17:48,439 --> 02:17:54,080
several times um my concern is the

2999
02:17:51,559 --> 02:17:57,719
students how is it possible that there

3000
02:17:54,080 --> 02:18:00,359
are going to be six brand new at the

3001
02:17:57,719 --> 02:18:03,120
highest rate of pay with medical

3002
02:18:00,359 --> 02:18:06,160
benefits when you're laying off the

3003
02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:10,559
three lowest paid Librarians and we did

3004
02:18:06,160 --> 02:18:13,599
not ask for the same rate as the

3005
02:18:10,559 --> 02:18:15,359
lmats we asked to be lower than them but

3006
02:18:13,599 --> 02:18:18,080
we wanted to be acknowledged that we did

3007
02:18:15,359 --> 02:18:21,160
the same exact job that they're doing at

3008
02:18:18,080 --> 02:18:24,040
our schools and we've been do I've been

3009
02:18:21,160 --> 02:18:25,880
doing this for 11 years I started at ha

3010
02:18:24,040 --> 02:18:29,479
I was there for seven years while my

3011
02:18:25,880 --> 02:18:31,880
students my children went to Haw um then

3012
02:18:29,479 --> 02:18:34,399
they closed Haw and I ended up at

3013
02:18:31,880 --> 02:18:36,559
Clifford and I love Clifford I love I

3014
02:18:34,399 --> 02:18:39,000
loved everybody at Haw but they're a

3015
02:18:36,559 --> 02:18:42,280
family to me and I have relationships

3016
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:46,399
with all of the students at at Clifford

3017
02:18:42,280 --> 02:18:49,880
and I'm concerned for them I mean I find

3018
02:18:46,399 --> 02:18:51,599
joy in my job going to work every day

3019
02:18:49,880 --> 02:18:53,559
and

3020
02:18:51,599 --> 02:18:56,200

Hoover Uh School library who has this

3025
02:19:05,319 --> 02:19:10,399
certificate so how are you going to find

3026
02:19:07,719 --> 02:19:13,840
six full-time employees for the

3027
02:19:10,399 --> 02:19:17,000
libraries when there's three that are

3028
02:19:13,840 --> 02:19:18,719
retiring and then three of us that are

3029
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:21,319

3039
02:19:40,880 --> 02:19:44,160

Equitable for us to not we haven't we

3049
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:11,520
didn't need these certificates when we

3050
02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:15,640

3076
02:21:09,880 --> 02:21:13,840
we do not understand why our positions

3077
02:21:11,680 --> 02:21:16,200
are being eliminated as school libraries

3078
02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:18,600
still need Librarians for our students

3079
02:21:16,200 --> 02:21:20,200
our schools are not closing our student

3080
02:21:18,600 --> 02:21:22,200
population numbers may change and

3081
02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:23,720
therefore or we would understand that

3082
02:21:22,200 --> 02:21:25,840
there would be a reduction in hours for

3083
02:21:23,720 --> 02:21:27,520
our sites we were recently informed

3084
02:21:25,840 --> 02:21:29,520
through email this Monday that our

3085
02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:32,640
positions were being eliminated due to

3086
02:21:29,520 --> 02:21:34,600
lack of work and or lack of funds then

3087
02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:36,160
yesterday Tuesday we were again informed

3088
02:21:34,600 --> 02:21:38,040
through another email that our positions

3089
02:21:36,160 --> 02:21:40,800
were being eliminated because the

3090
02:21:38,040 --> 02:21:44,040
district wants to provide equ Equitable

3091
02:21:40,800 --> 02:21:47,399
Services for all School sites and have M

3092
02:21:44,040 --> 02:21:50,000
LM uh ta positions in the future this

3093
02:21:47,399 --> 02:21:52,560
was never mentioned to our group uh

3094
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:54,200
before until now um there are two

3095
02:21:52,560 --> 02:21:55,800
classifications for librarians in our

3096
02:21:54,200 --> 02:21:57,760
district the library media technical

3097
02:21:55,800 --> 02:22:00,000
associate lmta at

3098
02:21:57,760 --> 02:22:03,880
25.5 and our group the library media

3099
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:05,920
assistant L LMA at 19.5 our job

3100
02:22:03,880 --> 02:22:08,399
descriptions are very outdated for both

3101
02:22:05,920 --> 02:22:12,000
classifications the LMA since 2000

3102
02:22:08,399 --> 02:22:15,120
making it 23 years the lmta since 2004

3103
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:17,240
making it 19 years this past October our

3104
02:22:15,120 --> 02:22:19,680
group applied to do a reclassification

3105
02:22:17,240 --> 02:22:21,960
since we all do the same duties except

3106
02:22:19,680 --> 02:22:23,720
for having the certificate we had the

3107
02:22:21,960 --> 02:22:25,640
support of the district librarian Beth

3108
02:22:23,720 --> 02:22:28,520
Berlin Stevens and the support of my

3109
02:22:25,640 --> 02:22:30,399
principal Miss Lupe Torres khil there

3110
02:22:28,520 --> 02:22:33,160
are three of us in this group our fellow

3111
02:22:30,399 --> 02:22:35,520
colleague is on leave we were informed

3112
02:22:33,160 --> 02:22:38,520
through email from Erin Kos Director of

3113
02:22:35,520 --> 02:22:41,880
Human Resources this past December 6

3114
02:22:38,520 --> 02:22:43,840
said after analysis of our our requests

3115
02:22:41,880 --> 02:22:46,040
the committee would uh be recommending

3116
02:22:43,840 --> 02:22:48,800
to the superintendent that our positions

3117
02:22:46,040 --> 02:22:52,160
be reclassified from 19.5 to the pay

3118
02:22:48,800 --> 02:22:53,960
grate of 23.5 this feels unjust for our

3119
02:22:52,160 --> 02:22:55,640
group that applied for the

3120
02:22:53,960 --> 02:22:57,520
reclassification and that it was

3121
02:22:55,640 --> 02:23:00,160
recommended to be approved and now our

3122
02:22:57,520 --> 02:23:01,240
positions are being eliminated we

3123
02:23:00,160 --> 02:23:02,800
understand if the district has a

3124
02:23:01,240 --> 02:23:04,439
different vision for libraries in the

3125
02:23:02,800 --> 02:23:06,720
future and that there are three

3126
02:23:04,439 --> 02:23:08,640
Librarians retiring at the end of this

3127
02:23:06,720 --> 02:23:10,680
school year if our positions are

3128
02:23:08,640 --> 02:23:13,160
eliminated it would be a total of six

3129
02:23:10,680 --> 02:23:15,359
schools libraries to be filled and or

3130
02:23:13,160 --> 02:23:17,960
for the remaining Librarians to co-share

3131
02:23:15,359 --> 02:23:20,680
all 11 libraries which will not be an

3132
02:23:17,960 --> 02:23:23,240
easy task and is not only not fair to

3133
02:23:20,680 --> 02:23:25,279
for their wellbeing but also not fair to

3134
02:23:23,240 --> 02:23:27,800
all the school communities that they

3135
02:23:25,279 --> 02:23:30,040
will have to serve we have been loyal

3136
02:23:27,800 --> 02:23:32,560
and faithful employees to the Redwood

3137
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:34,399
City School District with a combined 30

3138
02:23:32,560 --> 02:23:36,319
years of experience between the three of

3139
02:23:34,399 --> 02:23:38,680
us we have worked with our school

3140
02:23:36,319 --> 02:23:40,720
communities two of us are bilingual we

3141
02:23:38,680 --> 02:23:42,279
see classes on a weekly basis and we

3142
02:23:40,720 --> 02:23:44,040
have worked on building and making our

3143
02:23:42,279 --> 02:23:46,560
library collections better for our

3144
02:23:44,040 --> 02:23:49,359
schools Connie and I have also received

3145
02:23:46,560 --> 02:23:51,560
excellent evaluations we respectfully

3146
02:23:49,359 --> 02:23:53,840
ask that you please consider not

3147
02:23:51,560 --> 02:23:56,200
eliminating our positions and to give us

3148
02:23:53,840 --> 02:23:58,640
the opportunity to continue to work and

3149
02:23:56,200 --> 02:24:00,479
serve our school communities thank you

3150
02:23:58,640 --> 02:24:03,880
for your time and attention to this

3151
02:24:00,479 --> 02:24:03,880
matter thank you thank

3152
02:24:06,359 --> 02:24:10,560
you comments the

3153
02:24:13,040 --> 02:24:21,120
board reler if you have any

3154
02:24:17,520 --> 02:24:23,319
comments and maybe Wendy um

3155
02:24:21,120 --> 02:24:25,760
clarify I was just a little confused

3156
02:24:23,319 --> 02:24:28,520
when they were talking about six

3157
02:24:25,760 --> 02:24:32,760
positions can you explain that

3158
02:24:28,520 --> 02:24:36,160
please so there are 11 libraries in our

3159
02:24:32,760 --> 02:24:38,840
district and we're a total of 11

3160
02:24:36,160 --> 02:24:42,439
Librarians three are

3161
02:24:38,840 --> 02:24:45,200
retiring three LMT are

3162
02:24:42,439 --> 02:24:48,880
retiring so that notice came in early

3163
02:24:45,200 --> 02:24:52,200
February and then we

3164
02:24:48,880 --> 02:24:55,359
have three

3165
02:24:52,200 --> 02:24:58,439
lmas and then the remainder are LMT so

3166
02:24:55,359 --> 02:25:00,000
six so the way it would so so the what

3167
02:24:58,439 --> 02:25:03,000
would happen is we would fly the

3168
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:05,640
positions of the LMT that are retiring

3169
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:08,880
right like we would any year for anyone

3170
02:25:05,640 --> 02:25:12,200
retiring and then after negotiating with

3171
02:25:08,880 --> 02:25:14,520
CCA the effects of the layoff we would

3172
02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:15,520
decide what our next step is to fill

3173
02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:17,560
those

3174
02:25:15,520 --> 02:25:19,319
vacancies moving forward so the

3175
02:25:17,560 --> 02:25:22,319
remaining

3176
02:25:19,319 --> 02:25:22,319
three

3177
02:25:22,920 --> 02:25:27,720
so Beth Berlin Stevens our teacher

3178
02:25:25,040 --> 02:25:29,600
librarian is also an instructor at uh

3179
02:25:27,720 --> 02:25:34,359
the city college in which the lmta

3180
02:25:29,600 --> 02:25:37,319
certificate is available to be sought um

3181
02:25:34,359 --> 02:25:39,600
and I spoke with her earlier regarding

3182
02:25:37,319 --> 02:25:41,200
filling vacancies and she's feeling

3183
02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:45,600
pretty confident that we can get the

3184
02:25:41,200 --> 02:25:45,600
lmta POS positions filled for next

3185
02:25:45,920 --> 02:25:54,760
year and when you mean by fill those

3186
02:25:49,439 --> 02:25:57,560
positions is that from outside people or

3187
02:25:54,760 --> 02:26:00,160
from so certainly for the for the

3188
02:25:57,560 --> 02:26:02,560
individuals that are retiring yes

3189
02:26:00,160 --> 02:26:06,479
because we need to fill vacancies for

3190
02:26:02,560 --> 02:26:10,359
people leaving us so that would be um

3191
02:26:06,479 --> 02:26:13,279
three lmta new hires and then after the

3192
02:26:10,359 --> 02:26:15,600
result of our negotiations with CCA

3193
02:26:13,279 --> 02:26:18,040
tomorrow I will know which positions I'm

3194
02:26:15,600 --> 02:26:21,680
flying for

3195
02:26:18,040 --> 02:26:25,399
2425 um and if there's an alter

3196
02:26:21,680 --> 02:26:27,680
to the recommendation of the layoff as a

3197
02:26:25,399 --> 02:26:30,000
result of CCA negotiations I will need

3198
02:26:27,680 --> 02:26:34,279
to bring that back to the board by May

3199
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:36,279
15 so should in the course of of um

3200
02:26:34,279 --> 02:26:37,720
negotiating with CCA there's a I'm just

3201
02:26:36,279 --> 02:26:40,000
going to give you a hypothetical because

3202
02:26:37,720 --> 02:26:42,359
we haven't entered into this yet but

3203
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:45,600
let's say for example we negotiate with

3204
02:26:42,359 --> 02:26:49,240
csca and the effects of the layoff and

3205
02:26:45,600 --> 02:26:51,680
one of the items is that you know

3206
02:26:49,240 --> 02:26:54,240
hypothetically we extend the layoff for

3207
02:26:51,680 --> 02:26:57,000
a year and say please go and get the

3208
02:26:54,240 --> 02:26:59,399
certification for that's 18 units for

3209
02:26:57,000 --> 02:27:01,680
example or two years or whatever it is

3210
02:26:59,399 --> 02:27:04,560
if the board takes action tonight to lay

3211
02:27:01,680 --> 02:27:07,399
off there is another timeline in Ed code

3212
02:27:04,560 --> 02:27:10,560
which is May 15th so at the May 8th

3213
02:27:07,399 --> 02:27:13,960
board meeting I would need to bring back

3214
02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:18,000
a finalized mou with cssea that alters

3215
02:27:13,960 --> 02:27:20,800
the projection of what this layoff would

3216
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:23,479
be so for example if we kept LM is

3217
02:27:20,800 --> 02:27:26,520
intact for next school year with this

3218
02:27:23,479 --> 02:27:29,279
caveat in place about seeking the lmta

3219
02:27:26,520 --> 02:27:31,520
certification then that would actually

3220
02:27:29,279 --> 02:27:34,600
void the layoff from the board so the

3221
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:36,560
board would then have to revote to adopt

3222
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:38,800
that change that was that came as a

3223
02:27:36,560 --> 02:27:41,279
result of the negotiation that's why

3224
02:27:38,800 --> 02:27:43,720
it's a little premature but we once

3225
02:27:41,279 --> 02:27:46,560
again have this May 15th deadline and if

3226
02:27:43,720 --> 02:27:49,040
we don't layoff we we don't negotiate

3227
02:27:46,560 --> 02:27:51,399
with csca because you negotiate the

3228
02:27:49,040 --> 02:27:53,760
effects of a layoff

3229
02:27:51,399 --> 02:27:56,120
so I hope that makes sense it's it's

3230
02:27:53,760 --> 02:27:58,000
quite a complicated process but that's

3231
02:27:56,120 --> 02:28:01,240
why that moment in time has to happen

3232
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:02,560
right now in a perfect world we would

3233
02:28:01,240 --> 02:28:04,359
have done this months and months and

3234
02:28:02,560 --> 02:28:07,800
months ago and hopefully have led up to

3235
02:28:04,359 --> 02:28:09,680
this process but you know out of all of

3236
02:28:07,800 --> 02:28:11,920
our work that we've been doing with

3237
02:28:09,680 --> 02:28:14,359
equity and so forth it was a timely

3238
02:28:11,920 --> 02:28:16,319
fashion so that's why we're here where

3239
02:28:14,359 --> 02:28:19,120
we are but we do have that secondary

3240
02:28:16,319 --> 02:28:21,200
date of May

3241
02:28:19,120 --> 02:28:23,560
I

3242
02:28:21,200 --> 02:28:26,359
you mind if I say something on this go

3243
02:28:23,560 --> 02:28:29,000
ahead can you hear me

3244
02:28:26,359 --> 02:28:33,040
okay um yeah so I asked this very

3245
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:35,880
question when I saw this and

3246
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:37,960
um maybe in Lay person's terms because

3247
02:28:35,880 --> 02:28:39,560
I'm not an HR director and I'm not

3248
02:28:37,960 --> 02:28:41,040
involved in the negotiations we

3249
02:28:39,560 --> 02:28:42,880
eventually see what comes out in

3250
02:28:41,040 --> 02:28:44,399
negotiations and that there's usually a

3251
02:28:42,880 --> 02:28:46,520
recommendation that well there's always

3252
02:28:44,399 --> 02:28:49,359
a recommendation that comes to the board

3253
02:28:46,520 --> 02:28:51,080
to approve so um because one of the

3254
02:28:49,359 --> 02:28:53,479
things of course was concerned about is

3255
02:28:51,080 --> 02:28:56,640
we do have three incredible uh

3256
02:28:53,479 --> 02:28:59,160
Librarians at the schools and um thank

3257
02:28:56,640 --> 02:29:01,840
you Bev and Connie for speaking tonight

3258
02:28:59,160 --> 02:29:03,319
and certainly we value you and um the

3259
02:29:01,840 --> 02:29:06,279
wonderful relationships that you have

3260
02:29:03,319 --> 02:29:07,720
with your students and um the services

3261
02:29:06,279 --> 02:29:10,120
that you provide I mean it's clear that

3262
02:29:07,720 --> 02:29:11,880
you love what you do and certainly I

3263
02:29:10,120 --> 02:29:14,359
know that I value you as well well as

3264
02:29:11,880 --> 02:29:16,800
everyone else so my understanding is

3265
02:29:14,359 --> 02:29:20,439
again this is sort of this crazy process

3266
02:29:16,800 --> 02:29:22,479
that education has per Education Code if

3267
02:29:20,439 --> 02:29:24,319
we were in a private business or in some

3268
02:29:22,479 --> 02:29:25,840
other realm we wouldn't have to do it

3269
02:29:24,319 --> 02:29:28,479
this way we could do it in a much more

3270
02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:31,520
Humane fashion but we have these

3271
02:29:28,479 --> 02:29:34,359
ridiculous deadlines these ridiculous um

3272
02:29:31,520 --> 02:29:35,760
sort of rules in place and and then we

3273
02:29:34,359 --> 02:29:37,479
also have collective bargaining which is

3274
02:29:35,760 --> 02:29:41,840
really important and I know that our

3275
02:29:37,479 --> 02:29:43,720
staff um you know value that as do we so

3276
02:29:41,840 --> 02:29:44,720
the way this works this is my

3277
02:29:43,720 --> 02:29:49,080
understanding and I think this is what

3278
02:29:44,720 --> 02:29:51,040
Wendy just said is that if if we approve

3279
02:29:49,080 --> 02:29:52,840
the layoffs tonight then that allows for

3280
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:55,840
the negotiation of the effect of the

3281
02:29:52,840 --> 02:29:59,040
layoff and and part of that could come

3282
02:29:55,840 --> 02:30:01,960
out that those individuals are are able

3283
02:29:59,040 --> 02:30:03,840
to continue in those positions for a

3284
02:30:01,960 --> 02:30:06,000
year or two years whatever comes out of

3285
02:30:03,840 --> 02:30:09,520
the negotiations as they work towards

3286
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:12,560
getting the ltma because I will say um

3287
02:30:09,520 --> 02:30:14,880
what's hard is that going back many

3288
02:30:12,560 --> 02:30:18,960
years ago we had we've been having

3289
02:30:14,880 --> 02:30:21,640
conversations all along about uh the

3290
02:30:18,960 --> 02:30:25,279
certification the requirements that we

3291
02:30:21,640 --> 02:30:27,439
want our Librarians to have and so we've

3292
02:30:25,279 --> 02:30:30,080
been putting it off in some regards

3293
02:30:27,439 --> 02:30:31,880
year-over year and so I think the

3294
02:30:30,080 --> 02:30:34,520
recommendation tonight is that we

3295
02:30:31,880 --> 02:30:37,479
actually move forward and do this and so

3296
02:30:34,520 --> 02:30:40,640
I do realize it's really hard and it's

3297
02:30:37,479 --> 02:30:42,880
also you know I AP you know Ju Just on

3298
02:30:40,640 --> 02:30:45,760
behalf of the district um you know it

3299
02:30:42,880 --> 02:30:48,080
does sound like communication was not um

3300
02:30:45,760 --> 02:30:50,200
as good as it could have been um and I

3301
02:30:48,080 --> 02:30:53,200
apologize for that just for you know my

3302
02:30:50,200 --> 02:30:56,000
role and whatever that might be um but I

3303
02:30:53,200 --> 02:30:58,240
but I do want to say we value uh you and

3304
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:00,399
I do think that the process would allow

3305
02:30:58,240 --> 02:31:03,040
for us to come up with a plan that could

3306
02:31:00,399 --> 02:31:04,920
work um but that all have to be done in

3307
02:31:03,040 --> 02:31:07,319
negotiations and again I'm not part of

3308
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:09,200
that I'm not the HR Director um but I

3309
02:31:07,319 --> 02:31:13,359
would look forward to recommendations

3310
02:31:09,200 --> 02:31:13,359
that could allow us to to do some of

3311
02:31:14,279 --> 02:31:21,640
that thank you Alisa I I would agree um

3312
02:31:18,600 --> 02:31:24,200
when the district meets with cs CA to

3313
02:31:21,640 --> 02:31:25,800
discuss all the layoffs in advance of

3314
02:31:24,200 --> 02:31:29,040
March 6th

3315
02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:31,600
tonight um you know the district has a

3316
02:31:29,040 --> 02:31:34,600
responsibility to notify staff believe

3317
02:31:31,600 --> 02:31:36,680
it or not after the decision's made so

3318
02:31:34,600 --> 02:31:38,319
that's not really the Humane process but

3319
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:40,479
that's what the law says is that there's

3320
02:31:38,319 --> 02:31:44,399
this series of notifications that have

3321
02:31:40,479 --> 02:31:49,040
to be done and so between you know

3322
02:31:44,399 --> 02:31:50,560
administrators and and HR um and and

3323
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:54,960
assumingly through

3324
02:31:50,560 --> 02:31:56,920
CCA um that process seemed like it

3325
02:31:54,960 --> 02:31:59,479
rolled out in a bumpy sort of fashion

3326
02:31:56,920 --> 02:32:01,200
which I'll go back and review um but

3327
02:31:59,479 --> 02:32:04,040
thank you for that I appreciate those

3328
02:32:01,200 --> 02:32:04,040
those words and those

3329
02:32:05,960 --> 02:32:12,960
sentiments um and and I just do um have

3330
02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:14,720
a comment and kind of a question um when

3331
02:32:12,960 --> 02:32:16,319
they spoke about the

3332
02:32:14,720 --> 02:32:18,680
miscommunication

3333
02:32:16,319 --> 02:32:20,920
with classified employees or the

3334
02:32:18,680 --> 02:32:22,880
Librarians and this

3335
02:32:20,920 --> 02:32:26,319
um they talked about getting a

3336
02:32:22,880 --> 02:32:28,920
notification on Monday and I forget

3337
02:32:26,319 --> 02:32:29,840
there was two different dates and I'm

3338
02:32:28,920 --> 02:32:33,000
just

3339
02:32:29,840 --> 02:32:36,080
wondering um in fact whether that is

3340
02:32:33,000 --> 02:32:38,800
true what happened as far as you know

3341
02:32:36,080 --> 02:32:40,560
was it a hiccup in HR because again I do

3342
02:32:38,800 --> 02:32:43,439
want to make you guys aware I am a

3343
02:32:40,560 --> 02:32:45,240
classified employee myself so I totally

3344
02:32:43,439 --> 02:32:47,080
understand that and there may be times

3345
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:48,760
when obviously we're all human make and

3346
02:32:47,080 --> 02:32:52,279
make mistakes but I just want to make

3347
02:32:48,760 --> 02:32:55,120
sure that whether that did happen and I

3348
02:32:52,279 --> 02:32:57,520
don't you know mean it in a bad way but

3349
02:32:55,120 --> 02:32:59,279
if we could just be careful because

3350
02:32:57,520 --> 02:33:01,399
again and I do want to say not on a

3351
02:32:59,279 --> 02:33:03,160
personal level but a lot of classified

3352
02:33:01,399 --> 02:33:07,160
employees may

3353
02:33:03,160 --> 02:33:09,319
feel uh the districts cater to

3354
02:33:07,160 --> 02:33:12,160
certificated staff more than they do to

3355
02:33:09,319 --> 02:33:15,439
classified staff and so I do know that

3356
02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:17,359
our district is very um again

3357
02:33:15,439 --> 02:33:20,760
transparent and have always said that

3358
02:33:17,359 --> 02:33:23,399
there is no um

3359
02:33:20,760 --> 02:33:25,279
what's the word I want to use um like

3360
02:33:23,399 --> 02:33:28,040
difference and so I just want to make

3361
02:33:25,279 --> 02:33:30,520
sure that what we're saying is that we

3362
02:33:28,040 --> 02:33:33,359
what we are doing so I want to just make

3363
02:33:30,520 --> 02:33:35,600
sure that you know things are clear that

3364
02:33:33,359 --> 02:33:39,200
communication and again going back to

3365
02:33:35,600 --> 02:33:41,040
communication and I said it before I

3366
02:33:39,200 --> 02:33:43,319
think we we do a great job so I just

3367
02:33:41,040 --> 02:33:47,960
want to make sure that again classified

3368
02:33:43,319 --> 02:33:51,439
staff are being

3369
02:33:47,960 --> 02:33:53,680
um I can't even think

3370
02:33:51,439 --> 02:33:55,160
um I don't want to say like respected

3371
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:58,319
because I know that they are respected

3372
02:33:55,160 --> 02:34:02,439
but you know that we make sure that we

3373
02:33:58,319 --> 02:34:05,080
communicate in other words I guess uh

3374
02:34:02,439 --> 02:34:06,880
so question comment because I was saying

3375
02:34:05,080 --> 02:34:08,680
like it was a question as to what

3376
02:34:06,880 --> 02:34:12,120
happened and then a comment you know

3377
02:34:08,680 --> 02:34:13,880
based on classified in place so I

3378
02:34:12,120 --> 02:34:16,600
believe I just answered that for Lisa

3379
02:34:13,880 --> 02:34:18,960
did you want me to expand

3380
02:34:16,600 --> 02:34:20,800
further I think I just answered that

3381
02:34:18,960 --> 02:34:24,080
that that question for you do you want

3382
02:34:20,800 --> 02:34:26,640
me to expand further on

3383
02:34:24,080 --> 02:34:28,720
that I guess so because I guess I didn't

3384
02:34:26,640 --> 02:34:31,600
understand like what actually happened

3385
02:34:28,720 --> 02:34:33,120
so last week we met with CCA to explain

3386
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:36,000
all the

3387
02:34:33,120 --> 02:34:37,960
positions and then we spoke with side

3388
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:40,000
administrators about the about the

3389
02:34:37,960 --> 02:34:42,920
librarian specifically in this

3390
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:46,240
case and then on

3391
02:34:42,920 --> 02:34:48,439
Monday my office reached out to the

3392
02:34:46,240 --> 02:34:51,640
Librarians although it's not required to

3393
02:34:48,439 --> 02:34:51,640
do that until tomorrow

3394
02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:57,479
that's what

3395
02:34:53,840 --> 02:35:00,720
happened so that's that is by Edco that

3396
02:34:57,479 --> 02:35:03,319
it's required so I I want to go back and

3397
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:07,840
unpack and find out you know what could

3398
02:35:03,319 --> 02:35:10,800
have been done better in that regard um

3399
02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:13,240
but that is what I know to be true that

3400
02:35:10,800 --> 02:35:15,640
occurred that's and I appreciate again

3401
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:18,880
the clarification because again we want

3402
02:35:15,640 --> 02:35:21,120
to be uh transparent and you know for

3403
02:35:18,880 --> 02:35:22,840
everyone to understand what happened and

3404
02:35:21,120 --> 02:35:25,359
if there was a mistake that perhaps

3405
02:35:22,840 --> 02:35:26,720
could be corrected in the future so

3406
02:35:25,359 --> 02:35:30,120
thank you and I appreciate what you guys

3407
02:35:26,720 --> 02:35:33,479
do um you and your team of course but

3408
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:33,479
again thank you very

3409
02:35:38,240 --> 02:35:43,160
much thank you Anna for speaking and and

3410
02:35:41,040 --> 02:35:45,560
Bev and Connie for coming in talking

3411
02:35:43,160 --> 02:35:47,920
it's clear that you have passion for the

3412
02:35:45,560 --> 02:35:50,760
roles and the positions that you're in

3413
02:35:47,920 --> 02:35:53,479
um and Wendy thank you you for walking

3414
02:35:50,760 --> 02:35:55,279
through the the how of the

3415
02:35:53,479 --> 02:35:57,680
decision-making process around this

3416
02:35:55,279 --> 02:35:59,840
stuff um you know which ones were coming

3417
02:35:57,680 --> 02:36:01,840
out of one-time funding which ones are

3418
02:35:59,840 --> 02:36:04,080
being right sized because of reduction

3419
02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:05,399
of funding and and then this this role

3420
02:36:04,080 --> 02:36:08,200
change that we're talking about

3421
02:36:05,399 --> 02:36:11,040
rightfully so um the job description

3422
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:13,240
change um what it sounds like to me is

3423
02:36:11,040 --> 02:36:16,880
that we're at the beginning of a process

3424
02:36:13,240 --> 02:36:19,359
and we have partial information here um

3425
02:36:16,880 --> 02:36:22,160
and that this step is going to begin the

3426
02:36:19,359 --> 02:36:26,479
process process for figuring out what is

3427
02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:28,880
the right way to navigate through both

3428
02:36:26,479 --> 02:36:30,520
the position um the circles in one part

3429
02:36:28,880 --> 02:36:32,600
of your slide and the people the

3430
02:36:30,520 --> 02:36:35,160
pictures of humans in real life um

3431
02:36:32,600 --> 02:36:37,200
that's happening on the other side uh

3432
02:36:35,160 --> 02:36:39,960
and so I'm looking forward to hearing

3433
02:36:37,200 --> 02:36:42,720
how how that pursue has you know how

3434
02:36:39,960 --> 02:36:44,920
that progresses over the next month or

3435
02:36:42,720 --> 02:36:49,080
two um and I'm sure we'll continue to

3436
02:36:44,920 --> 02:36:52,960
get updates on it uh and so um with with

3437
02:36:49,080 --> 02:36:57,600
all of that information um I'll you know

3438
02:36:52,960 --> 02:36:57,600
I will support this resolution too um

3439
02:37:00,439 --> 02:37:07,120
thanks you good okay um I don't really

3440
02:37:04,399 --> 02:37:09,040
have anything more to add I I recognize

3441
02:37:07,120 --> 02:37:12,120
Wendy that you need to go into

3442
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:16,600
negotiations um it feels like such a

3443
02:37:12,120 --> 02:37:18,760
backward process but um it it's the law

3444
02:37:16,600 --> 02:37:22,399
um I look forward to seeing what comes

3445
02:37:18,760 --> 02:37:24,279
out of that um um it's my hope that the

3446
02:37:22,399 --> 02:37:28,000
current lmas would be able to keep their

3447
02:37:24,279 --> 02:37:29,600
positions and um and pursue the the

3448
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:32,479
certificate needed for the

3449
02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:34,720
lmta um so I'm hoping to see that come

3450
02:37:32,479 --> 02:37:38,960
forward but

3451
02:37:34,720 --> 02:37:38,960
I'm not in control of that

3452
02:37:39,880 --> 02:37:44,720
so one other thing I just wanted to just

3453
02:37:42,680 --> 02:37:46,560
I think we had said this during the um

3454
02:37:44,720 --> 02:37:48,399
certificated discussion but I wanted to

3455
02:37:46,560 --> 02:37:51,560
just double check did you say that there

3456
02:37:48,399 --> 02:37:54,080
is something looking into for some of

3457
02:37:51,560 --> 02:37:57,840
the um Mental Health Counselors I think

3458
02:37:54,080 --> 02:37:59,640
it t Okay so that'll happen there okay

3459
02:37:57,840 --> 02:38:01,520
great

3460
02:37:59,640 --> 02:38:07,000
okay all right

3461
02:38:01,520 --> 02:38:07,000
thanks we do need a motion on this

3462
02:38:08,520 --> 02:38:14,600
item again without enthusiasm um I'm

3463
02:38:11,800 --> 02:38:17,120
going to move to approve

3464
02:38:14,600 --> 02:38:20,240

3481
02:39:07,240 --> 02:39:13,560
the individuals effective affected have

3482
02:39:10,160 --> 02:39:13,560
already been placed in other

3483
02:39:15,399 --> 02:39:21,359

hi trusty Weekley hi trusty

3493
02:39:43,920 --> 02:39:51,040
mavo hi vice president wels hi president

3494
02:39:47,760 --> 02:39:54,920
Lawson hi

3495
02:39:51,040 --> 02:39:57,680
um 7.5 approval of release of temporary

3496
02:39:54,920 --> 02:40:00,359
teachers this uh resolution actually

3497
02:39:57,680 --> 02:40:02,279
comes to the board each year there's a

3498
02:40:00,359 --> 02:40:05,240
handful of temporary teachers in which

3499
02:40:02,279 --> 02:40:07,399
we write temporary contracts for and

3500
02:40:05,240 --> 02:40:10,560
those are for usually Grant funded

3501
02:40:07,399 --> 02:40:12,960
situations in which the grants or

3502
02:40:10,560 --> 02:40:15,840
sometimes PTO or what have you funding

3503
02:40:12,960 --> 02:40:20,319
is not secure at this moment in time so

3504
02:40:15,840 --> 02:40:22,200
they may not come back or they um may

3505
02:40:20,319 --> 02:40:25,160
come back and we typically find out in

3506
02:40:22,200 --> 02:40:27,359
the April time session the good news is

3507
02:40:25,160 --> 02:40:29,359
that many of these

3508
02:40:27,359 --> 02:40:30,800
individuals um can choose from other

3509
02:40:29,359 --> 02:40:32,399
positions and we write them a

3510
02:40:30,800 --> 02:40:35,040
probationary contract which is a

3511
02:40:32,399 --> 02:40:37,600
different pathway so this is usually uh

3512
02:40:35,040 --> 02:40:40,200
a strict result to just soft monies that

3513
02:40:37,600 --> 02:40:42,399
come in and their contracts already have

3514
02:40:40,200 --> 02:40:44,120
an end date that were written in August

3515
02:40:42,399 --> 02:40:46,720
so they know this but this is a

3516
02:40:44,120 --> 02:40:46,720
customary

3517
02:40:48,040 --> 02:40:52,760
practice Yeah I'll say this is one that

3518
02:40:50,680 --> 02:40:54,240
I have been through before uh in the

3519
02:40:52,760 --> 02:40:56,840
past years even when we had the

3520
02:40:54,240 --> 02:40:59,080
additional onetime funding um so hope

3521
02:40:56,840 --> 02:41:00,920
hopefully we can continue to offer if

3522
02:40:59,080 --> 02:41:04,800
the valuable services

3523
02:41:00,920 --> 02:41:06,720
but so this sounds procedural you versus

3524
02:41:04,800 --> 02:41:11,240
some of the other things that are

3525
02:41:06,720 --> 02:41:11,240
Cuts correct y

3526
02:41:11,920 --> 02:41:16,319
okay there motion to approve I'll move

3527
02:41:14,880 --> 02:41:19,880
to

3528
02:41:16,319 --> 02:41:22,840
approve second roll call vote please

3529
02:41:19,880 --> 02:41:24,720
trusty Marquez hi trusty Weekley hi

3530
02:41:22,840 --> 02:41:28,359

hi thank you for that um we're going to

3534
02:41:32,359 --> 02:41:38,840
circle back to item 7.1 that we moved um

3535
02:41:35,640 --> 02:41:42,479
the feasibility study so this item here

3536
02:41:38,840 --> 02:41:45,359
is a feasibility study for a

3537
02:41:42,479 --> 02:41:49,319
person this item here is the feasibility

3538
02:41:45,359 --> 02:41:52,760
study for a partial tax measure um to be

3539
02:41:49,319 --> 02:41:57,680
placed you know on the November 24

3540
02:41:52,760 --> 02:41:59,279
ballot uh but we need to get information

3541
02:41:57,680 --> 02:42:01,359
from the community before we even go

3542
02:41:59,279 --> 02:42:05,080
forward there were people that spoke

3543
02:42:01,359 --> 02:42:06,399
here this evening and in support and I

3544
02:42:05,080 --> 02:42:09,200
sure there's others that have a

3545
02:42:06,399 --> 02:42:12,000
difference of opinion in regard to us

3546
02:42:09,200 --> 02:42:15,120
moving forward but this is not saying

3547
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:18,720
that we are going for a parcel tax we

3548
02:42:15,120 --> 02:42:21,120
are doing a feasibility study that if

3549
02:42:18,720 --> 02:42:24,040
everything goes in the manner that we

3550
02:42:21,120 --> 02:42:28,760
would hope then a resolution would come

3551
02:42:24,040 --> 02:42:33,120
back to you before um the last before

3552
02:42:28,760 --> 02:42:35,479
the last meeting in June to move forward

3553
02:42:33,120 --> 02:42:37,560
or prior to that when we get the results

3554
02:42:35,479 --> 02:42:42,840
of it that no we we will have that

3555
02:42:37,560 --> 02:42:46,000
information too and previously um we had

3556
02:42:42,840 --> 02:42:49,520
one of the members we had uh Miss cummer

3557
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:51,319
on here from Team CeX but she had to

3558
02:42:49,520 --> 02:42:54,279
leave because she has a early playing

3559
02:42:51,319 --> 02:42:54,279
cat catch

3560
02:42:55,560 --> 02:43:01,160
tomorrow

3561
02:42:57,640 --> 02:43:04,080
questions uh we do have one speaker uh

3562
02:43:01,160 --> 02:43:07,640
comment on this um Chris

3563
02:43:04,080 --> 02:43:11,040
Rebel okay go ahead Chris you can

3564
02:43:07,640 --> 02:43:12,560
unmute yes good evening um I'm one of

3565
02:43:11,040 --> 02:43:14,760
the things I think that's very important

3566
02:43:12,560 --> 02:43:18,279
if you're contemplating a parcel tax

3567
02:43:14,760 --> 02:43:20,160
which of course um is for people and as

3568
02:43:18,279 --> 02:43:22,240
one of you said earlier I think David

3569
02:43:20,160 --> 02:43:25,200
weekly um you know bonds are for

3570
02:43:22,240 --> 02:43:28,920
buildings partial taxes are for people

3571
02:43:25,200 --> 02:43:30,880
um and um you have done a $298 million

3572
02:43:28,920 --> 02:43:33,040
bond which will cost taxpayers more than

3573
02:43:30,880 --> 02:43:34,920
double that with measure s and then

3574
02:43:33,040 --> 02:43:37,640
measure T before that you know hundreds

3575
02:43:34,920 --> 02:43:40,680
of Millions for that and there's a plan

3576
02:43:37,640 --> 02:43:42,399
to do another Bond um that you know

3577
02:43:40,680 --> 02:43:44,279
there's there's at least three phases

3578
02:43:42,399 --> 02:43:45,800
right so and some you know I don't know

3579
02:43:44,279 --> 02:43:49,760
if it's a year from now two years from

3580
02:43:45,800 --> 02:43:51,120
now so this I think the key point is

3581
02:43:49,760 --> 02:43:53,160
that's that's lacking here is

3582
02:43:51,120 --> 02:43:54,800
prioritization right that that the

3583
02:43:53,160 --> 02:43:56,520
residents in the community don't have

3584
02:43:54,800 --> 02:43:58,920
unlimited funds right and so if you're

3585
02:43:56,520 --> 02:44:02,760
asking for more money from the community

3586
02:43:58,920 --> 02:44:04,319
for the schools the question I think is

3587
02:44:02,760 --> 02:44:06,399
is it more important to spend more money

3588
02:44:04,319 --> 02:44:07,960
on people in these jobs and teachers or

3589
02:44:06,399 --> 02:44:11,080
is it more important to spend more on

3590
02:44:07,960 --> 02:44:13,080
spiffy looking buildings and I think um

3591
02:44:11,080 --> 02:44:15,319
I think most people would agree that

3592
02:44:13,080 --> 02:44:17,920
money for a parcel tax for teachers is

3593
02:44:15,319 --> 02:44:20,000
more important than um the the the the

3594
02:44:17,920 --> 02:44:22,279
buildings the bonds so I think it would

3595
02:44:20,000 --> 02:44:23,439
be very it would behoove everybody to

3596
02:44:22,279 --> 02:44:24,880
and I think it would be to be

3597
02:44:23,439 --> 02:44:26,760
transparent with the community are you

3598
02:44:24,880 --> 02:44:28,359
still planning on doing another Bond

3599
02:44:26,760 --> 02:44:31,080
after this as well so you're going for a

3600
02:44:28,359 --> 02:44:32,960
parcel tax and a bond for more buildings

3601
02:44:31,080 --> 02:44:34,640
even though enrollments down that's a

3602
02:44:32,960 --> 02:44:36,720
it's a prioritization question and I

3603
02:44:34,640 --> 02:44:39,439
think it's something very very important

3604
02:44:36,720 --> 02:44:41,720
as you're trying to um be thoughtful

3605
02:44:39,439 --> 02:44:43,640
about the the ask of the

3606
02:44:41,720 --> 02:44:45,200
community um and I know this is

3607
02:44:43,640 --> 02:44:46,720
something that somebody else brought up

3608
02:44:45,200 --> 02:44:48,520
with measure S as well they're like

3609
02:44:46,720 --> 02:44:50,040
please we can only afford so much and

3610
02:44:48,520 --> 02:44:51,880
there it's also worth noting there are a

3611
02:44:50,040 --> 02:44:54,000
lot of other taxes which I'm sure I'm

3612
02:44:51,880 --> 02:44:56,560
sure your consultant will point out

3613
02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:58,319
there's a a state housing Bond there's a

3614
02:44:56,560 --> 02:45:01,600
State Transportation Bond there's a

3615
02:44:58,319 --> 02:45:04,680
multicounty MTC baffa Regional Housing

3616
02:45:01,600 --> 02:45:06,160
Bond there's a the city is has money so

3617
02:45:04,680 --> 02:45:08,720
they're looking at a property transfer

3618
02:45:06,160 --> 02:45:10,920
tax and a business license uh revamp

3619
02:45:08,720 --> 02:45:12,600
there's so many taxes on November and

3620
02:45:10,920 --> 02:45:15,200
you're now adding another one to it so

3621
02:45:12,600 --> 02:45:17,279
how much you know U money do we want to

3622
02:45:15,200 --> 02:45:19,319
be extracting from people that live in

3623
02:45:17,279 --> 02:45:20,600
our community and I don't think another

3624
02:45:19,319 --> 02:45:21,800
Bond down the pike I think it's

3625
02:45:20,600 --> 02:45:24,359
important to share that if that's your

3626
02:45:21,800 --> 02:45:26,520
intent in in addition to this parcel tax

3627
02:45:24,359 --> 02:45:26,520
thank

3628
02:45:26,800 --> 02:45:31,080
you thanks um questions or comments from

3629
02:45:30,200 --> 02:45:34,200
the

3630
02:45:31,080 --> 02:45:36,760
board this

3631
02:45:34,200 --> 02:45:39,600
item I think we had a robust discussion

3632
02:45:36,760 --> 02:45:42,120
on this last week um so I don't have

3633
02:45:39,600 --> 02:45:43,560
much more to comment other than I do

3634
02:45:42,120 --> 02:45:46,840
think we should go forward with the

3635
02:45:43,560 --> 02:45:49,800
feasibility study I think that you know

3636
02:45:46,840 --> 02:45:51,680
um if it were to pass a part tax could

3637
02:45:49,800 --> 02:45:53,439
make meaningful difference for many of

3638
02:45:51,680 --> 02:45:56,880
the programs that had been funded

3639
02:45:53,439 --> 02:45:59,359
previously through onetime funds uh that

3640
02:45:56,880 --> 02:46:01,279
that would be wonderful to put in um

3641
02:45:59,359 --> 02:46:03,560
it's an expensive area to live people

3642
02:46:01,279 --> 02:46:05,520
are very important um and being able to

3643
02:46:03,560 --> 02:46:06,880
pay pay for the salaries to be able to

3644
02:46:05,520 --> 02:46:10,240
offer the kind of service that we want

3645
02:46:06,880 --> 02:46:11,880
is yeah critical

3646
02:46:10,240 --> 02:46:13,600
so

3647
02:46:11,880 --> 02:46:16,080
yeah

3648
02:46:13,600 --> 02:46:20,160
that is it worth

3649
02:46:16,080 --> 02:46:23,319
$53,000 for us to explore whether the

3650
02:46:20,160 --> 02:46:26,319
voters are interested in having higher

3651
02:46:23,319 --> 02:46:27,120
quality education for the students of

3652
02:46:26,319 --> 02:46:29,560
our

3653
02:46:27,120 --> 02:46:31,120
district there are difficult questions

3654
02:46:29,560 --> 02:46:32,640
that come in front of the board and

3655
02:46:31,120 --> 02:46:36,080
we've had many of them and this isn't

3656
02:46:32,640 --> 02:46:38,240
one of them so yeah I I absolutely think

3657
02:46:36,080 --> 02:46:41,760
we should we should explore this and

3658
02:46:38,240 --> 02:46:45,200
find ways to fund our district and the

3659
02:46:41,760 --> 02:46:45,200
education that we deliver our

3660
02:46:45,600 --> 02:46:51,200
students um Alisa or Cecilia anything I

3661
02:46:49,000 --> 02:46:52,880
don't have any comments okay Alisa do

3662
02:46:51,200 --> 02:46:55,040
you want to add

3663
02:46:52,880 --> 02:46:56,880
anything yeah I made a lot of comments

3664
02:46:55,040 --> 02:46:58,439
at the last meeting and I think we heard

3665
02:46:56,880 --> 02:47:00,439
eloquently from a lot of speakers

3666
02:46:58,439 --> 02:47:04,200
tonight uh for the need for the parcel

3667
02:47:00,439 --> 02:47:05,520
tax so I agree with uh my colleagues uh

3668
02:47:04,200 --> 02:47:07,240
and the recommendation that we should

3669
02:47:05,520 --> 02:47:10,279
move forward with the feasibility study

3670
02:47:07,240 --> 02:47:13,600
to find out if our community

3671
02:47:10,279 --> 02:47:15,560
agrees y i I agree with my colleagues I

3672
02:47:13,600 --> 02:47:18,920
think given everything that we just

3673
02:47:15,560 --> 02:47:20,399
talked about tonight um you know there's

3674
02:47:18,920 --> 02:47:22,920
need and we need to see if the community

3675
02:47:20,399 --> 02:47:22,920
would support

3676
02:47:23,040 --> 02:47:28,319

priorities and of course I will be

02:50:39,800 --> 02:50:44,760
bringing up funding so we have a lot of

3753
02:50:42,479 --> 02:50:47,120
good examples of how they've sort of

3754
02:50:44,760 --> 02:50:50,000
given money and taken money away and the

3755
02:50:47,120 --> 02:50:51,600
real effects of it so um I will be able

3756
02:50:50,000 --> 02:50:53,479
to speak to what's going on in our

3757
02:50:51,600 --> 02:50:55,800

3758
02:50:53,479 --> 02:50:59,200

3767
02:51:17,800 --> 02:51:22,120
