WLWV Board Room: and select Community Members know if you're interested in knowing what those eight performance standards are you can go to oh s ea.org.

118
00:17:40.020 --> 00:17:55.770

119
00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:00.780
director Taylor.

Louis Taylor: You have a board report this evening, I do not have a board report this evening Okay, thank you.

121
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:18.540
WLWV Board Room: I was just gonna say that.

122
00:18:20.970 --> 00:18:21.750
just wanted to.

123
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.290
thank Dr Ludwig and for.

124
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:27.420
This.

125
00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:41.730
WLWV Board Room: for organizing the summit meeting that was held on January 24 it was great involvement and I love the entertainment done by the students that was just absolutely amazing.

126
00:18:42.750 --> 00:18:56.520
Very talented group of young students and then the other thing was just i've just been continuing to make myself available to parents in the Community and just making them for coffee couple times a week.

127
00:19:02.430 --> 00:19:03.330
director riots.

128
00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:06.180
You this evening.

129
00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:18.330
WLWV Board Room: All right, that's me i'm having a hard time with my chair, so if you see me going up and down on hydraulics a tech issue with a really basic piece of technology back here.

130
00:19:19.950 --> 00:19:28.470
WLWV Board Room: The only thing i'd like to say is that we are we're hitting almost the two the two year mark of responding to.

131
00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:39.240
WLWV Board Room: Information heavy loads of information that have been coming to us and pivoting and turning and digesting and synthesizing and applying and all the everything that we've been doing.

132
00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:52.410
WLWV Board Room: So I just have a lot of gratitude to our Community for picking through you know through it and to our education professionals are administrators for also sticking with it and.

133
00:19:52.710 --> 00:19:54.840
Louis Taylor: What brought this up for me tonight actually was when.

134
00:19:55.080 --> 00:20:03.210
WLWV Board Room: Miguel mentioned, I don't know if anybody's seen Miguel and action at the Games, but he is, you know very enthusiastic students and.

135
00:20:03.780 --> 00:20:15.000
WLWV Board Room: He mentioned that basketball, they have to have a ticket and just taking today or yesterday that's again change and so now spectators are welcome, without the need for a ticket and so it's just another example of.

136
00:20:16.020 --> 00:20:23.760
You know how how many times, the system has had to change and and respond to new information so just recognizing that this evening.

137
00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:28.470
Alright, and superintendent Ludwig.

138
00:20:35.550 --> 00:20:37.050
All right, thank you.

139
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:43.170
WLWV Board Room: So, speaking of change what I had planned to say tonight took on another pivot.

140
00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:52.560
WLWV Board Room: So i'm madly scrambling putting my report together and I thought about taking some slides out but I thought, no, I still want to highlight and celebrate.

141
00:20:53.070 --> 00:21:04.680
WLWV Board Room: Those aspects that I had planned to share i'll just do it a little more quickly so first of all, in the first slide you'll see you've probably seen in the newspaper.

142
00:21:05.820 --> 00:21:07.380
WLWV Board Room: A great recognition of.

143
00:21:08.040 --> 00:21:19.710
WLWV Board Room: Our graduation rates from last year, and again this is such a testament to our students for working so incredibly hard through challenging times, keeping keeping focus on.

144
00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:31.620
WLWV Board Room: Their goals insight working with their resources, no teachers talk about counselors really pulling extra time to connect with students as Michelle mentioned tonight, even this year.

145
00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:40.800
WLWV Board Room: So we're really pleased that amidst a challenging year everyone stepped up, and these are just some of those results across the board in terms of.

146
00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:52.440
WLWV Board Room: Another incredibly high graduation rate, making sure students are off to their careers seeing improvement at all the schools on, and even that number at the bottom.

147
00:21:52.980 --> 00:22:08.490
WLWV Board Room: Is the graduation rate of our students with ips, which is actually at or higher than the State graduation rate across for all students so once again another game there that were incredibly incredibly proud of.

148
00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:16.050
WLWV Board Room: And next one, to highlight as Director sleep mentioned, we had a really outstanding equity summit, want to thank you had.

149
00:22:16.530 --> 00:22:30.960
WLWV Board Room: At 1.1 hundred and 45 participants so around that number of these were leaders from both Community of Wilson bill and Westland want to thank both mayors, for attending Council members police chiefs.

150
00:22:32.010 --> 00:22:38.670
WLWV Board Room: Larry did ways here in the audience he's going to speak tonight, our superintendent and clackamas county St was there with some of his staff.

151
00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:48.960
WLWV Board Room: Of course you the board teacher students, we had Rotary Chamber a lot of folks represented thinking about who we are, as a community.

152
00:22:49.530 --> 00:22:58.050
WLWV Board Room: And how do we become a welcoming community that isn't siloed and all of our organizations, but actually connected and much more aligned, so it was a really.

153
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:11.910
WLWV Board Room: Great summit that I think provides opportunities for launching forward into some collective work together over the course the year so it'll be fun and exciting to see what we can accomplish together, between now and next January.

154
00:23:13.950 --> 00:23:26.610
WLWV Board Room: Another event that I just want to highlight very quickly is we were selected by the Oregon Department of Education for a virtual visit of our online Academy, so they did choose a few charter schools online schools.

155
00:23:27.090 --> 00:23:32.430
WLWV Board Room: We were one of the public school districts that it that they chose, and we were able to present.

156
00:23:33.510 --> 00:23:38.100
WLWV Board Room: an overview of our programs how we got to where we are the components of our programs.

157
00:23:38.670 --> 00:23:47.640
WLWV Board Room: We had teacher Librarians who spoke to the uniqueness of the program we had videos recording students and their parents, giving commentary about.

158
00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:53.490
WLWV Board Room: What they appreciate about the program also it was challenging thoughts for improvement.

159
00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:58.800
WLWV Board Room: And what God is doing is they're going to take those visits that they're making across the state.

160
00:23:59.280 --> 00:24:07.500
WLWV Board Room: and try and summarize and identify what are best practices in online programs, what have we learned from last year and this year.

161
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:16.110
WLWV Board Room: And what would be those standards that we would say great criteria for really exemplary online programs, so we were excited to highlight our work to be selected.

162
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:25.290
WLWV Board Room: For that visit and curtis Nelson is also part of a State committee that is doing that review just wanted to share that with you.

163
00:24:27.510 --> 00:24:36.450
WLWV Board Room: We are staying very creative, while we are being very mindful of how many folks are in a building and visiting classrooms we've pivoted to.

164
00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:47.160
WLWV Board Room: Doing virtual learning walks and I just wanted to highlight here's an example of middle school virtual learning lock that I was able to join and what happens is principals actually take video.

165
00:24:47.730 --> 00:24:51.930
WLWV Board Room: Of classrooms and then bring the video forward and share it with each other.

166
00:24:52.470 --> 00:24:57.540
WLWV Board Room: In terms of hey these are, this is what we're working on, if we were all in the classroom, this is what we would see.

167
00:24:57.870 --> 00:25:05.610
WLWV Board Room: And then, how do we give feedback to one another about the work that's happening in our schools and how might we give targeted feedback to a teacher.

168
00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:11.520
WLWV Board Room: If this was you know in their classroom this, this was the lesson that we observed so even though we're.

169
00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:19.560
WLWV Board Room: still trying to be very cognizant of not taking large groups of people in rooms like you've been learning walks before this is another way we've pivoted.

170
00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:28.980
WLWV Board Room: And we're doing them in just a slightly different way, until we can get back to really moving about more freely into each other's faces more often.

171
00:25:31.530 --> 00:25:38.580
WLWV Board Room: We also are midway through a year of really examining grading for equity with our high schools.

172
00:25:39.030 --> 00:25:46.410
WLWV Board Room: There could be another opportunity if you wanted to for a board work session to hear more about this in detail from Dr Spencer items.

173
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:55.770
WLWV Board Room: As we had mentioned earlier in the year we've contracted with Gil feldman who's the author of grading for equity and he does seminars and workshops all across the country.

174
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:03.000
WLWV Board Room: And with his team of professionals who then have partnered with us and have provided coaching seminars throughout the year.

175
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:09.000
WLWV Board Room: it's included some large group work sessions small group coaching some student panels.

176
00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:19.200
WLWV Board Room: are planning for a seminar for parents that's kind of that's going to be coming up, so we can engage our Community and what it means to take a look at.

177
00:26:19.890 --> 00:26:29.490
WLWV Board Room: How we assess students and how grading systems can reflect what students are learning and make any kind of adjustments that we need to.

178
00:26:31.050 --> 00:26:42.780
WLWV Board Room: So professional learning is very robust, even as we're thinking about in creative ways and how to do that when we can't all be together in a space like this, how do we still learn together through zoom and through some virtual sessions.

179
00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:54.510
WLWV Board Room: Next slide is a highlight of a conference that just took place this last weekend, we had a great turnout, this was the Oregon association of Latino administrators and our district is.

180
00:26:54.990 --> 00:27:03.750
WLWV Board Room: A sponsor of O Allah we have a number of our administrators who are members of a wallah, this is a network that's a part of support and advocacy.

181
00:27:04.890 --> 00:27:14.010
WLWV Board Room: The a wallet President for the last two years has been city thumb I our principal of Lowry primary school so on top of what she's doing leading our schools and being a colleague to.

182
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:26.520
WLWV Board Room: The staff here she's also helping with this organization and put the the conference together, Dr Edgar solaris our principal at Bolton primary school is also on the board.

183
00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:33.540
WLWV Board Room: They had two great keynote speakers so share their own story, but also brought together some professional learning.

184
00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:50.640
WLWV Board Room: there's time in the afternoon for affinity groups, which was really meaningful each one of those groups to find a safe and shared space together, and I would say, we had about 15 or 20 attendees administrators from our district attending that was a break for now.

185
00:27:51.870 --> 00:27:55.440
WLWV Board Room: That was Friday evening and Saturday we were a part of that.

186
00:27:57.150 --> 00:27:58.080
And then.

187
00:28:00.510 --> 00:28:07.200
WLWV Board Room: So those are just some highlights, but you heard like you did from the students athletic games and competitions are going on and it's been great to.

188
00:28:07.590 --> 00:28:22.260
WLWV Board Room: To get to schools and be a part of those in the evenings our third high school naming process you've probably gotten he knows about that is in full swing and you'll want to be prepared, then at the work session on the 28th to get the shortlist and to make your decisions.

189
00:28:24.060 --> 00:28:39.450
WLWV Board Room: And finals week and new semester so that's a business we're also in the middle of dual language enrollment for next year right now it's around our Spanish program but, as you know, we're starting a Chinese program so you'll be hearing about that soon as well.

190
00:28:41.250 --> 00:28:47.910
WLWV Board Room: While we're all busy, and I know there's senses among staff to of keeping up and exhaustion.

191
00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:54.930
WLWV Board Room: it's incredible that our staff are also still very interested in their own professional learning that helps them do their work.

192
00:28:55.410 --> 00:29:02.730
WLWV Board Room: Especially for the next day or the next week and so we've got great turnout and a lot of optional workshops and professional development.

193
00:29:03.150 --> 00:29:12.810
WLWV Board Room: And our primary literacy workshops, is one of those examples in one we have at least 75 teachers signed up for that and then another one that just launched around.

194
00:29:13.620 --> 00:29:20.280
WLWV Board Room: perfecting kind of your readers workshop with about 45 teachers, so far, these are all workshops, led by our own staff.

195
00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:30.930
WLWV Board Room: they're optional, but you can see that teachers are even in the midst of a very challenging year when they know they're getting coaching that's going to help them for tomorrow or the next week.

196
00:29:31.410 --> 00:29:35.790
WLWV Board Room: And it's time well spent to be together and to make a priority and they're eager to come.

197
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:43.890
WLWV Board Room: So I want to thank Michelle Murphy, who is our reading district reading specialist for putting those workshops together and she really is the driving force around.

198
00:29:44.610 --> 00:29:51.180
WLWV Board Room: Not just putting it together but, but making it the kind of space where people want to be there and find incredibly helpful.

199
00:29:52.110 --> 00:29:59.400
WLWV Board Room: And then, lastly, this week we are engaged in you go back a slide Joe Thank you our middle school.

200
00:29:59.910 --> 00:30:13.740
WLWV Board Room: New principal interviews this week so we'll be participating in interviewing applicants for meridian creek and row smart rich this week and will hopefully get those announcements to you, not long after that.

201
00:30:14.790 --> 00:30:16.050
So it's busy busy time.

202
00:30:18.210 --> 00:30:27.180
WLWV Board Room: And then I didn't have these slides for you tonight, but announcements about some covert updates so we're going to go into those now, thank you, Joe.

203
00:30:28.890 --> 00:30:35.970
WLWV Board Room: So as many folks maybe know and maybe you don't know by now, but as of 2pm today the Oregon health authority did make an announcement.

204
00:30:42.870 --> 00:31:03.030
WLWV Board Room: to lift the indoor mask mandate by March 31 this spring, now the announcement is two prong there's one general statewide mass use announcement and one that's specific to schools so just on this slide essentially and, of course, the announcement is based on.

205
00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:11.010
WLWV Board Room: epidemiologist and the medical staff at oh ha really watching the case rates across the state, but also.

206
00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:18.630
WLWV Board Room: Listening to medical professionals around the hospitalizations and icu beds and making some determination and oh hs you has.

207
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:29.550
WLWV Board Room: A projection of where they think cases are going to go and so they've been watching that and an anticipation of that decided to make this this lift.

208
00:31:30.390 --> 00:31:44.010
WLWV Board Room: So no later than March 1 of the general statewide indoor mass mandate will be lifted and if hospitalizations fall to even safer levels more quickly, before then they would consider lifting it sooner.

209
00:31:44.760 --> 00:31:54.090
WLWV Board Room: So gotta wear these little while longer but everyone's collective efforts are really supporting some of the data that they're seeing.

210
00:31:54.780 --> 00:32:02.580
WLWV Board Room: So that's the first prong is what that means for general statewide use, and then the second prong is what it means for schools, which is only slightly different.

211
00:32:03.810 --> 00:32:04.740
WLWV Board Room: So the next slide.

212
00:32:06.780 --> 00:32:12.480
WLWV Board Room: For schools What that means is on march 31 it would be lifted, but not sooner.

213
00:32:13.050 --> 00:32:21.720
WLWV Board Room: So if the rest of the state has some lyft because of those hospitalization rates that could happen, but schools will have the hard fast march 31.

214
00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:26.970
WLWV Board Room: And that's, not only in response to the data but also to give schools.

215
00:32:27.690 --> 00:32:38.220
WLWV Board Room: and local public health authorities the opportunity to make that transition and to put plans in place for some school districts, it may not take much to make that pivot and for others.

216
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:47.730
WLWV Board Room: There might be considerations that need to be made in conversations with Community or employee associations and those kinds of things, the time to do that.

217
00:32:49.200 --> 00:33:02.700
WLWV Board Room: Of course, oh ha will come out still with strong advice, especially for those who are unvaccinated or have significant health risks are live with those who have health risks to continue to wear masks whenever possible.

218
00:33:03.870 --> 00:33:19.170
WLWV Board Room: The decision of regarding the mask use will now shift from oh ha and a statewide mandate to local public health authorities, so we would now look to our clackamas county public health authority around any requirement or recommendations.

219
00:33:20.280 --> 00:33:29.670
WLWV Board Room: If the local public health authority lists the requirement tools would still require it would be up to school district or board if they wanted to still require it.

220
00:33:30.840 --> 00:33:44.370
WLWV Board Room: and local public health authorities could still require it, depending on the case rates in their county or hospitalizations in their area so O H is is now really making that shift over to local public health authorities.

221
00:33:45.750 --> 00:34:04.290
WLWV Board Room: For unvaccinated school employees as you remember, there was a mandate to be vaccinated to be an employee of a school district, unless you qualified or had an approved exception exemptions for that group they must still wear face masks if that's a condition of their approved exceptions.

222
00:34:05.850 --> 00:34:14.550
WLWV Board Room: on buses, we will still have after March 31 the mandate to wear facemask because that falls under federal mandate.

223
00:34:15.510 --> 00:34:28.200
WLWV Board Room: Just like you know flying an airplane and buses public buses and trains any public transportation is under that federal guidance and so unless that's lifted, we would still need to follow that.

224
00:34:30.180 --> 00:34:31.080
next page.

225
00:34:33.240 --> 00:34:39.480
WLWV Board Room: So what What would it mean if a school district did make wearing face masks indoors optional.

226
00:34:40.590 --> 00:34:57.690
WLWV Board Room: It would mean that unvaccinated students who were determined to be close contacts would still need to quarantine at home for the required five days, and if they decide to come back to school for day six through 10 they would need to wear a mask for that to complete their quarantine.

227
00:34:59.610 --> 00:35:10.770
WLWV Board Room: The district would no longer be eligible for the test to stay program because if you recall that was conditional on universal masking and for masks to be in place in order for the test to stay Program.

228
00:35:12.090 --> 00:35:18.240
WLWV Board Room: diagnostic testing like the by next now that rapid testing that we're doing up for people to see if they.

229
00:35:19.290 --> 00:35:22.290
They have symptoms, they have code would still remain accessible.

230
00:35:24.390 --> 00:35:35.910
WLWV Board Room: The exposure definition would shift, because now everybody would be without masks so it would go back to that indoor close contact if you're within six feet 15 minutes or more.

231
00:35:36.570 --> 00:35:44.250
WLWV Board Room: And it would mean that we would need to go back to notifying beyond just right now it's shifted to only if it's during lunchtime.

232
00:35:44.670 --> 00:35:58.590
WLWV Board Room: or co curricular or band, we would have to shift back to well you know the whole school day wasn't unmasked time so it's back to kind of a broader contact racing and notification process.

233
00:36:00.570 --> 00:36:05.640
WLWV Board Room: Any person testing positive for covert, of course, still would follow the guidance for isolation at home.

234
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.840
So the next slide.

235
00:36:11.970 --> 00:36:23.340
WLWV Board Room: So what are the next steps, well, the next step is we were looking at clackamas county public health make their determination, because now, the authority has shifted to them so there'll be.

236
00:36:25.230 --> 00:36:43.770
meeting and in consultation and having meetings with Oregon health authority, but also with each other in their consultation team and then they'll, let us know, over the next coming days, their determination for our county whether it's a requirement or a recommendation or strong advisement.

237
00:36:44.880 --> 00:37:02.610
WLWV Board Room: And then, in terms of you as a school board for our district, if you recall, on July 12 you did pass emotion that you would follow the ready school safe learners resiliency framework or this school year so with these changes that now will be reflected in the rsl.

238
00:37:03.990 --> 00:37:15.000
WLWV Board Room: That means you've you've approved to follow whatever is in the rsl for the year and you also approved in that motion to include any federal or state statute requirements which you have done.

239
00:37:15.660 --> 00:37:29.040
WLWV Board Room: As a board we have followed all the requirements in the rsl and we also follow those Federal and State ones, so this motion would still stand you as a board unless you decided to amend it or overturn it.

240
00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:48.450
WLWV Board Room: And you also on July 12 proved in your motion that you wanted to ensure that the district would continue to foster a culture which provides assurance of inclusion respect equity and care for every members, as they make their own personal health decisions, so if a student a staff member.

241
00:37:49.710 --> 00:37:57.840
WLWV Board Room: wants to continue to wear a mask or doesn't wear a mask that we really ensure that our culture is one of support and care and.

242
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:15.750
WLWV Board Room: In free of any kind of easing or taunting or wondering, but that we really foster a culture of care and we can do that in our messaging talked about our counselors tonight we're wonderful at ensuring those kinds of environments in our school and our support.

243
00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:24.210
WLWV Board Room: So that's that's where you stand as a board and then next steps continues on the next slide please.

244
00:38:25.650 --> 00:38:37.350
WLWV Board Room: Well, we would do is between now and March 31 just work with the timeline to continue to get information about this update to make the appropriate plans for the change for any implementation of changes.

245
00:38:37.740 --> 00:38:44.880
WLWV Board Room: And they continue them to communicate out to our Community, as we approach the date and beyond.

246
00:38:46.230 --> 00:38:50.880
WLWV Board Room: We would say that if there's a family families who anticipate that.

247
00:38:52.950 --> 00:39:03.660
WLWV Board Room: In light of this update they might want to consider an online option we would encourage them to consider that sooner than later, particularly if they have secondary students.

248
00:39:04.170 --> 00:39:11.940
WLWV Board Room: Because we just started second semester this week and so it's much harder to make a shift even a month or two down the road.

249
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:22.800
That if they would prefer to make a shift now, it might make things easier, but of course we want to be accommodating to families and and work with their needs.

250
00:39:25.200 --> 00:39:26.160
And last slide.

251
00:39:29.040 --> 00:39:39.720
WLWV Board Room: So we what we have learned through all this process is nobody you know, has the same agreed upon opinion about things there isn't universal agreement with anything that's happened with Kobe.

252
00:39:40.200 --> 00:39:52.620
WLWV Board Room: And sometimes one announcement is that with applause and another announcement is met with frustration and and we coexist in that dichotomy or in that just that sometimes its attention and sometimes it's just.

253
00:39:53.040 --> 00:40:01.650
WLWV Board Room: How we coexist with one another, and we know that every time there's an announcement of our change it, it shifts things for families.

254
00:40:02.310 --> 00:40:10.050
WLWV Board Room: And so it could be some mixed emotions or opinions that will now come from this, but what we want to continue to do is be a place of community.

255
00:40:10.380 --> 00:40:22.140
WLWV Board Room: And connection and care for our families and meet them where they are and support them for where they need to be with their with their children and with with their school and that's our priority will always continue to.

256
00:40:24.210 --> 00:40:27.690
WLWV Board Room: So with that it's been a X life.

257
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:36.780
WLWV Board Room: I just had to include this picture, because it was inclusion month that will limit and they were talking about students with special needs and.

258
00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:54.180
WLWV Board Room: Inclusion in their school and they put up this great banner, and I just thought it was just a great metaphor for who we want to be in all aspects, not just around special education but around just who we are to one another and.

259
00:40:55.260 --> 00:41:05.850
WLWV Board Room: And how we want to be known as a community community of inclusion and a community of care so i'll stop there, with my report and, if you have any questions that's fine or and ask them later in the evening, as well.

260
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:12.180
Alright, thank you.

261
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:18.210
WLWV Board Room: Being no questions I will move on to the next agenda item which is the consent agenda.

262
00:41:20.340 --> 00:41:24.060
WLWV Board Room: Or is open for emotion almost that we approve the consent agenda.

263
00:41:26.220 --> 00:41:27.630
Sure Thompson has emotion.

264
00:41:28.680 --> 00:41:33.330
WLWV Board Room: All right, Dr seuss has a second and Miss Douglas so you please all the vote.

265
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:37.500
Louis Taylor: Taylor hi.

266
00:41:38.610 --> 00:41:38.850
Louis Taylor: Kelly.

267
00:41:39.660 --> 00:41:44.520
WLWV Board Room: hi Kelly hi christy Thompson I posted in La.

268

WLWV Board Room: Right thanks and we're going to move on to communications and comments from the audience.

269
00:41:55.080 --> 00:42:00.000
WLWV Board Room: So i'm going to read a few guidelines that we follow and then welcome folks up.

270
00:42:02.040 --> 00:42:11.760
WLWV Board Room: So, of course, first of all thank you for being here, we always welcome hearing from our Community and we're glad that you're here and we read your emails and we listen to your voice.

271
00:42:13.530 --> 00:42:25.170
WLWV Board Room: And yeah we value it and appreciate it, so if you want to make a public comment than you would have signed up here, so if you did not sign up here and you still want to make public comment you can raise your hand.

272
00:42:26.010 --> 00:42:27.420
Louis Taylor: If the signup sheet okay.

273
00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:33.690
and

274
00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:37.500
WLWV Board Room: yeah that will be my.

275
00:42:37.530 --> 00:42:42.210
WLWV Board Room: roster and i'll just go from the top and work my way down, and when you come.

276
00:42:42.210 --> 00:42:54.990
WLWV Board Room: up just a tip that i've witnessed from the years of sitting here is the less that you push on the podium the less likely, you are to like bang against the microphone so if that helps you at all when you approach, I know, sometimes people can be nervous and hit that podium.

277
00:42:55.380 --> 00:42:56.430
WLWV Board Room: Thank you anybody else.

278
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:07.830
WLWV Board Room: But please state your name and your address, and the purpose with that is that we're really interested in who lives inside the district when they're making comments and so name and address.

279
00:43:08.610 --> 00:43:24.300
WLWV Board Room: And this is a time that the board listens to you and collects information about decisions it's not a time that we engage in dialogue, so if it appears that we're quietly listening that's because we're quietly listening and you know don't expect that we're going to go back and forth.

280
00:43:26.730 --> 00:43:36.120
WLWV Board Room: If you are asking that we present like that the district or the board give information back to you just make sure that that's clear that you're asking for something specific.

281
00:43:36.570 --> 00:43:46.560
WLWV Board Room: And someone will follow up with you about what that is and also we don't single out district employees or students, so when you speak.

282
00:43:46.890 --> 00:43:59.370
WLWV Board Room: we're not going to single out an employee or students or complained about an employee or students, we have a separate process that's outside of the public board room for specific complaints about a specific individual.

283
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:06.840
WLWV Board Room: And this is an opportunity to address the board, not necessarily an audience or a larger audience.

284
00:44:07.470 --> 00:44:17.100
WLWV Board Room: So the Board is here to listen to you and we just asked also I know I heard quite a bit of clapping earlier and that might you know feel good to clap, but it also changes.

285
00:44:17.730 --> 00:44:25.140
WLWV Board Room: The tenor and can increase intensity in the room and i've been in you know board meetings over the years, where there's booing and clapping.

286
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:33.870
WLWV Board Room: And so, as much as possible if we don't boo or clap then it just helps with the decorum of the room and I like to operate with the idea of.

287
00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:46.350
WLWV Board Room: Acting in the boardroom is, we would want our students to act in a classroom and we wouldn't want students booing each other, you know doing that, and so, if we can do that here, then we maintain that culture of respect.

288
00:44:47.730 --> 00:44:54.690
WLWV Board Room: Those are the guidelines, we ask that you follow, and that you know that we're following everybody gets three minutes and.

289
00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:05.820
WLWV Board Room: We have 45 minutes I don't think we're gonna have a hard time with everybody speaking we don't worry about that 45 minutes I don't think and let's see what else we all need to know.

290
00:45:08.490 --> 00:45:09.660
I think that's.

291
00:45:10.830 --> 00:45:21.780
WLWV Board Room: It we have public comments submitted by email that we read and okay thanks for letting me go through all that, so I will start at the top, with Cooper Rodriguez.

292
00:45:41.190 --> 00:45:46.890
WLWV Board Room: Thank you for allowing me to speak tonight, my name is Cooper Rodriguez I am 15 years old and the freshmen that will slow high school.

293
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:54.900
WLWV Board Room: I want to speak to the board members, on behalf of all the students that will pseudo high school that are either afraid or i've been shamed into not having a voice to speak up.

294
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:10.740
WLWV Board Room: I realized that the OJ had announced today that they will be removing the mask mandate march 31 that is 60 days away our seniors that Wilson bill will have suffered 2.5 years of this nonsense, we have gone from know mass the mass to any mass back to three mess.

295
00:46:12.450 --> 00:46:18.480
WLWV Board Room: Our country was founded on godly principles and our Constitution guarantees the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

296
00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:31.650
WLWV Board Room: These masks vaccine and testing mandates completely go against our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, not only are these masks mandates completely against the law, these masks are completely ineffective, there is no actual science with clinical.

297
00:46:31.650 --> 00:46:36.450
WLWV Board Room: trials and peer reviewed literature, to show that mass actually work in fact there are several peer.

298
00:46:36.450 --> 00:46:37.770
Louis Taylor: reviewed studies that effectively.

299
00:46:37.770 --> 00:46:47.790
WLWV Board Room: show the master completely useless, so why are we pushing masks on the healthy population, why are we asking teachers to be mass police detracting from our education, why is it okay to eat at.

300
00:46:48.330 --> 00:46:57.180
WLWV Board Room: The restaurant without a mask and magically no contract forbid or sounding carded playing with absolutely no social distancing and eat our snacks or meals and magically not contract code.

301
00:46:58.080 --> 00:47:02.160
WLWV Board Room: Why is it okay to attend a large athletic events such as the nba nfl ncaa.

302
00:47:02.520 --> 00:47:10.380
WLWV Board Room: football and not have to wear masks but he had we were going to force kids to wear a mask that has absolutely no effect, other than creating faceless mindless young adults.

303
00:47:10.650 --> 00:47:16.110
WLWV Board Room: I hate them as it tested leaders put over me for forcing us to wear these masks in order to receive an education.

304
00:47:16.590 --> 00:47:22.980
WLWV Board Room: In our education has been watered down you're not protecting us or the teachers, but you are causing psychological and emotional damage.

305
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:30.090
WLWV Board Room: For the CDC suicide attempts and girls aged 12 to 17 years of search by more than 50% invoice as.

306
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:38.520
WLWV Board Room: Well, the 17 years the use of alcohol and illicit drugs has increased almost 30% due to depression, anxiety and household disruption.

307
00:47:39.180 --> 00:47:48.720
WLWV Board Room: This is actual hard data, children are more likely to die from killing themselves and Caicos my own peers have confided in me in that they're turning to drugs and alcohol to escape.

308
00:47:49.080 --> 00:47:55.710
WLWV Board Room: These masked many to completely against the wall, it is an emergency authorization that has been manipulated for two years, like a brown to control the people.

309
00:47:55.980 --> 00:48:04.650
WLWV Board Room: and ruin our local communities, in fact, the Supreme Court has ruled against mass mandates in New York Pennsylvania Wisconsin Michigan Kentucky Florida Georgia.

310
00:48:06.240 --> 00:48:15.960
WLWV Board Room: Texas Arizona, and the list goes on organized one of nine states so mandate to mask what does that tell you we worship is filming us at a city county county and state level.

311
00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:22.470
WLWV Board Room: Our government is fabricated from the people we, the people we are experiencing lawlessness at the hands of retire ironical government.

312
00:48:22.860 --> 00:48:30.570
WLWV Board Room: Take, for example, what is happening right now in Canada, Australia and soon the US, we, the people are fed up with overreaching governments that are pushing citizens the limits.

313
00:48:30.870 --> 00:48:38.760
WLWV Board Room: At this very moment in Canada, millions of people in nearly 100,000 truckers have come together in unity to peacefully stand against tyranny after capital and auto.

314
00:48:39.150 --> 00:48:42.840
WLWV Board Room: I stand before you now as a 15 year old to let you know that this can no longer go on.

315
00:48:43.650 --> 00:48:53.460
WLWV Board Room: quote from Thomas Paine 1776 society in every state is a blessing is a blessing, but the government, even in its but government, even as best date is a necessary evil.

316
00:48:54.030 --> 00:48:55.380
WLWV Board Room: and its worst state and intolerant.

317
00:48:56.130 --> 00:49:07.320
WLWV Board Room: Organs abuse of our constitution is intolerable, we, the people must stand up where leaders are failing to represent us no longer will I consent or comply with this terrible experiment on the lives and emotions are you, thank you for your time and God was amazing.

318
00:49:15.720 --> 00:49:16.620
Brian weeper.

319
00:49:29.730 --> 00:49:33.180
WLWV Board Room: Well, I hope not to be I hope not to be too repetitive.

320
00:49:34.530 --> 00:49:41.160
WLWV Board Room: The school board and superintendents, thank you for all the work time, energy and effort you put into get our kids in school, as well as keep our kids in school.

321
00:49:41.670 --> 00:49:53.700
WLWV Board Room: I know this has not been an easy job and not job you signed up for it but it's job you have been given, thank you for all you have done to keep our kids in our buildings That being said, I think it's time for shift in our thinking on covert.

322
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:55.860
WLWV Board Room: code is not a joke.

323
00:49:55.980 --> 00:49:57.150
Louis Taylor: it's not a fake condition.

324
00:49:57.210 --> 00:50:06.000
WLWV Board Room: i'm sure everyone in this room, has been impacted by covered in a real way but it's also time to follow the science we've been told to do and i'm not sure our school district is doing.

325
00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:07.890
WLWV Board Room: here's the science, I see.

326
00:50:07.890 --> 00:50:17.790
WLWV Board Room: From the CDC 75% of covert deaths have been over age of 75 97% of cover deaths are now the unvaccinated the director of the CDC.

327
00:50:17.790 --> 00:50:22.230
WLWV Board Room: says 75% of total deaths have been and people will at least for co-morbidities.

328
00:50:23.550 --> 00:50:26.370
WLWV Board Room: Specifically in school age kids five to 18.

329
00:50:26.430 --> 00:50:28.500
WLWV Board Room: There have been 623 deaths.

330
00:50:28.560 --> 00:50:42.900
WLWV Board Room: In the more than 808,000 in the US that's a point 00 7% chance that a child between the ages of five and 18 will die of covert any death in any child is unacceptable, but what we've done.

331
00:50:44.220 --> 00:50:54.660
WLWV Board Room: By making these changes as evidence by our students statistics on suicide and depression is completely unacceptable as well.

332
00:50:56.520 --> 00:51:03.030
WLWV Board Room: If you will, I ask that you are school, I asked you as a school board, what are we doing wearing masks, whereas the data to support mass.

333
00:51:03.570 --> 00:51:13.410
WLWV Board Room: or helping with coven the CDC itself so that class mass don't work and having walked the halls of Wilson bill high school kids are not wearing cloth or Mary wearing medical Max.

334
00:51:14.550 --> 00:51:25.650
WLWV Board Room: What we are doing our kids horrible and unnecessary making our kids mess up in schools complete overkill follow the sciences or paradigm it's costing them their social skills their education and their mental health.

335
00:51:26.430 --> 00:51:33.180
WLWV Board Room: Organs one of eight states that have mass mandates is in Florida Texas Pennsylvania and others, including New Jersey, as of today.

336
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:38.610
WLWV Board Room: don't wear mass comm, it is the same disease across the country, I think we can all agree on that.

337
00:51:39.720 --> 00:51:51.300
WLWV Board Room: If mass works so well our numbers would be statistically significantly different here than they are across the country they're not our coven numbers follow the exact same patterns every other state.

338
00:51:52.740 --> 00:52:01.560
WLWV Board Room: Our kids are paying the price for this it's not disputable according to mental health, America Oregon ranked dead last in almost every major category there's in 2021.

339
00:52:02.100 --> 00:52:10.410
WLWV Board Room: Having at least one major depressive episode we ranked 51st youth with severe major depressive episode we rank 48.

340
00:52:10.860 --> 00:52:19.890
WLWV Board Room: Youth with substance abuse disorder, we went 43rd we're crushing our kids mental health let's take a stand trust the science is what we've been told.

341
00:52:20.730 --> 00:52:26.940
WLWV Board Room: In February, a large study from Johns Hopkins stated there's little to no public health benefit from the lockdowns.

342
00:52:27.450 --> 00:52:39.600
WLWV Board Room: In July last year, President Biden said if you're not going to get covered, if you have the vaccines have a 19 came from nature not alive, this is the science we've been following it's time to make a change and i'll end with this.

343
00:52:40.860 --> 00:52:48.120
WLWV Board Room: let's follow the data there's no science to support mass there's plenty of evidence against them your leaders in your school or not beholden to the.

344
00:52:48.630 --> 00:52:59.910
WLWV Board Room: US our leaders are not beholding to the oh ha are OD don't represent them represent us in our students, we elected you, you did a survey last year, as mentioned previously by Dr Ludwig.

345
00:53:00.780 --> 00:53:19.710

WLWV Board Room: And i'm very thankful for all you guys have done for all of us, I know that most of you did not sign up for this.

351
00:53:49.710 --> 00:53:55.650
WLWV Board Room: At least what we've gone through, for the last two years, and I am a parent, I have four kids in the district.

352
00:53:56.760 --> 00:53:59.760
WLWV Board Room: And I love the kids in this Community and.

353
00:54:00.810 --> 00:54:04.470
WLWV Board Room: i'm here to speak on their behalf, because I think this week, more than ever.

354
00:54:05.550 --> 00:54:13.290
WLWV Board Room: i've just been overwhelmed by the need for students in Washington and Oregon to step up to go into their schools.

355
00:54:13.890 --> 00:54:23.640
WLWV Board Room: and ask for us to take their masks off and i've actually been very discouraged by how few parents are willing to stand up and do this, and so I just felt like it was time to speak up.

356
00:54:24.420 --> 00:54:28.080
WLWV Board Room: I love these kids and I love that you guys have pictures of them all over the walls and it's just.

357
00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:36.600
WLWV Board Room: emphasizes and breaks my heart that we haven't seen these spaces in our classrooms and the teachers haven't seen their faces and they haven't seen each other's faces over the last few years.

358
00:54:38.340 --> 00:54:47.070
WLWV Board Room: i'm i'm very grateful for every hour you guys have spent, I know that it's taking more time than probably ever anticipated when you volunteered to do these jobs i'm.

359
00:54:48.030 --> 00:54:54.300
WLWV Board Room: I was talking with a high school student recently and asked where she wanted to go to college, he said anywhere but Oregon she said I hate for.

360
00:54:55.830 --> 00:54:58.350
WLWV Board Room: New the way she said it still haunts me today.

361
00:55:00.870 --> 00:55:10.680
WLWV Board Room: A consistent message I get from setting off to college many i'm My dear friends and family who have left the state has expressed the same frustration.

362
00:55:11.640 --> 00:55:21.000
WLWV Board Room: I heard of a local kindergartener who is regressed a mumbling instead of speaking the mom asked, can you not hear your teacher speak and she said no so she's mumbling.

363
00:55:22.620 --> 00:55:29.250
WLWV Board Room: Imagine all day, every day, wearing a mask for two years, I shudder to think of the unknown long term consequences of it is everywhere.

364
00:55:29.730 --> 00:55:35.970
WLWV Board Room: But what we are doing to our children in Oregon is not only wrong but incredibly unjust compared to what other states have done.

365
00:55:36.630 --> 00:55:41.220
WLWV Board Room: Our kids are missing out on so much of life that other states have not taken from their kids.

366
00:55:41.940 --> 00:55:51.870
WLWV Board Room: 43 states have dropped mandates and so have many prominent countries our kids will never get back these years, the social emotional academic and athletic deficits that our children have we can never make up.

367
00:55:52.380 --> 00:56:02.220
WLWV Board Room: And the longer we continue the more devastating and results rightfully the pandemic is not what it used to be in governments all over the country in the world have agreed and drop mass mandates in accordance with the changes.

368
00:56:03.090 --> 00:56:12.360
WLWV Board Room: Our kids see these differences and they are frustrated their kids all over the state and country starting to plan and organized lockouts in protest of these mandates and while I appreciate.

369
00:56:12.870 --> 00:56:20.550
WLWV Board Room: The courage and powerful testimony of kids who are willing to stand up for what is right in order to change a situation, I think, as adults, we should be doing the same.

370
00:56:21.090 --> 00:56:31.170
WLWV Board Room: We shouldn't ask our kids to be the leaders in our Community, it is our role, and it is our responsibility, we know that 90% of our Community is comfortable with numbers thank, thank you for the survey that you did.

371
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:37.140
WLWV Board Room: In the beginning of the school year and we ask that you do send the letter that Kelly sloop and Lewis Taylor wrote to the state.

372
00:56:37.560 --> 00:56:43.500
WLWV Board Room: Asking for local control and that, if that is granted make the decision immediately to drop on mass mandates in our district.

373
00:56:44.040 --> 00:56:55.260
WLWV Board Room: We ask that you hold the state to their word in the news today of dropping mandate statewide honor before March 31 that you would add on the announcement and announced the mass will be dropped on or before that date.

374
00:56:56.760 --> 00:57:03.810
WLWV Board Room: I want to end with a final note, I hope that most of you have had a chance to see the video that's gone viral and the kids in Israel when they were told they could take off their masks.

375
00:57:04.350 --> 00:57:09.570
WLWV Board Room: The joy and the celebration in the room, should be assaulted here's our kids have suffered.

376
00:57:10.470 --> 00:57:24.720
WLWV Board Room: Please give them this gift, we need to do this for kids I can't wait for the day that the kids in this district, to take off their mass and rebuild the emotional and social bonds as well as improved the academic environment that has been so hindered by the math.

377
00:57:25.890 --> 00:57:29.460
WLWV Board Room: Please make every effort to see that this day comes, as soon as possible.

378
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:34.200
WLWV Board Room: And also, I just wanted to add, since I hadn't seen what you guys shared.

379
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:44.190
WLWV Board Room: For a board who's key tenant is equality, I hope you will not consider the suggested and unbelievable illogical discrimination of unvaccinated.

380
00:57:44.700 --> 00:57:58.680
WLWV Board Room: would be allowed, we all know everyone in this room knows that vaccinated and unvaccinated get and spread coven and this lie must stop, and this discrimination of those unvaccinated must and.

381
00:57:59.310 --> 00:58:10.110
WLWV Board Room: I cannot express my frustration with these lies that these children see and they come to us and they're like this is so illogical and yet we as viewers inheritance continue with me.

382
00:58:11.640 --> 00:58:14.520
WLWV Board Room: That is the end of my comments that's all I have to share Thank you.

383
00:58:21.060 --> 00:58:23.220
Okay, it looks like the last name is vias.

384
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:26.130
WLWV Board Room: donny Okay, thank you.

385
00:58:33.150 --> 00:58:39.720
Talk about recognize the importance that though rss sorry for ssl framework moving forward.

386
00:58:41.250 --> 00:58:44.700
WLWV Board Room: I consider our school district a distinct ecosystem.

387
00:58:46.200 --> 00:58:52.320
That can react to outside and internal challenges to internal local governance and administration.

388
00:58:53.670 --> 00:58:57.870
WLWV Board Room: The one size fits all approach to the health and safety protocols.

389
00:58:58.950 --> 00:59:03.420
has been detrimental to schools and to our students, as our speaker.

390
00:59:05.220 --> 00:59:22.770
WLWV Board Room: I believe that moving forward the rsl cell framework should be a permanent operational framework that the Wilson ville Westland school districts and modify as needed and as arises and not be constrained by the State mandates that do not reflect the individual needs of our schools.

391
00:59:24.870 --> 00:59:34.380
WLWV Board Room: This is very brief, I want to commend Kelly and Lewis from the board for signing the memo and thank you for supporting the will of the parents of this district, and again.

392
00:59:35.010 --> 00:59:44.490
WLWV Board Room: I congratulate you and commend you for taking that step, we must work here within the district, because we know what we need in our district.

393
00:59:44.970 --> 00:59:56.970
WLWV Board Room: Somebody in Salem doesn't know what's going on in beckman creek or bloomsbury for the high schools, we know and we approached you with that information, you can respond in a timely manner to our needs and that's it Thank you.

394
01:00:02.670 --> 01:00:03.480
WLWV Board Room: Mike would.

395
01:00:11.520 --> 01:00:15.060
WLWV Board Room: Be if this works right Thank you so a couple of things.

396
01:00:15.510 --> 01:00:27.270
WLWV Board Room: Right to interrupt you, before you even begin I failed to ask them to the previous speakers, could you just state normally in history we stayed our address, or at least state like a city or if you're listening in the district Thank you anymore.

397
01:00:28.380 --> 01:00:43.650
WLWV Board Room: No that's that's all Okay, no problem well just a couple of things, one of the some statistics were throwing out here the 800 kids throughout the United States let's put that in context the typical flow takes for 400 kids a year.

398
01:00:44.790 --> 01:00:48.090
WLWV Board Room: But this is less deadly than the flow and we didn't do all this.

399
01:00:49.350 --> 01:00:51.870
This is shameful, but you thought.

400
01:00:53.460 --> 01:01:00.120
WLWV Board Room: You guys could have stood up and said we're not going to do it, you follow the government there are other districts, they didn't.

401
01:01:01.470 --> 01:01:03.330
WLWV Board Room: there's obviously i'm your state's did.

402
01:01:04.590 --> 01:01:09.300
You should actually stand up today, maybe, give them a week to say, if you don't end this.

403
01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:13.890
WLWV Board Room: we're going to do it ourselves what's at risk for money.

404
01:01:14.940 --> 01:01:19.470
WLWV Board Room: that's worth it that's been worth it for two years it's a State gives you money.

405
01:01:21.300 --> 01:01:29.400
WLWV Board Room: you're not being very courageous that's one thing to reiterate, another point young vaccine.

406
01:01:30.540 --> 01:01:37.740
WLWV Board Room: Completely shameful to single them out let's go over the facts, the best data source in the world.

407
01:01:38.940 --> 01:01:44.490
WLWV Board Room: that's from a Western country it's open is from the UK surveillance report.

408
01:01:46.260 --> 01:01:52.380
WLWV Board Room: Since August, the vaccinated have had the disease more than the unvaccinated.

409
01:01:53.580 --> 01:02:02.280
WLWV Board Room: They haven't been going to the hospital but they've been happening more and it's ramped up for over two times the unvaccinated.

410
01:02:03.720 --> 01:02:07.800
WLWV Board Room: And why you like that thinking it's even worse for entrepreneurs.

411
01:02:08.820 --> 01:02:19.020
WLWV Board Room: If you look at the data age group after age group after age at that starts they start out every effective back in June.

412
01:02:19.470 --> 01:02:38.730
WLWV Board Room: almost zero by August and the seven year olds couple weeks later in the 60s and the 40s 30s and now down to the kids all because the vaccines were off like that and they're only targeted for that one little spike protein, so you want to follow the side science.

413
01:02:39.990 --> 01:02:41.610
WLWV Board Room: Maybe you should ban the vaccinated.

414
01:02:42.630 --> 01:02:59.130
WLWV Board Room: Because, quite frankly, there are a lot safer, are the ones to build natural immunity and they when they're exposed or defeat the disease right away, whereas the unvaccinated are not carriers every one of us has got vaccinated or secret carrier.

415
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:06.390
WLWV Board Room: We won't exhibit the signs, because most of the science, but now we are.

416
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:12.660
WLWV Board Room: But we're worse than the BAT can vaccinate so let's go through some of the other science points.

417
01:03:16.890 --> 01:03:17.430
etc.

418
01:03:18.450 --> 01:03:20.940
WLWV Board Room: are wonderful experts couldn't make a test.

419
01:03:22.230 --> 01:03:29.430
WLWV Board Room: All the other countries did it in in January of the first year of the coven When did we have ours late March.

420
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:43.770
WLWV Board Room: Light about the source of the virus actually actively obfuscated gated and live, where it came from there's trustworthiness that mass were useless to start with.

421
01:03:45.150 --> 01:03:47.700
WLWV Board Room: Four months later, that the greatest thing on earth.

422
01:03:50.160 --> 01:03:57.450
WLWV Board Room: Now what two weeks ago yeah sorry yeah the boss mass those are useless.

423
01:03:58.470 --> 01:04:00.300
WLWV Board Room: But start wrapping it up okay.

424
01:04:01.470 --> 01:04:07.950
WLWV Board Room: yeah i'll give you two more seconds, then next thing surgical mask that you're wearing justice useless.

425
01:04:09.240 --> 01:04:21.270
WLWV Board Room: Right, they were even saying and 95 maybe we'll put a panty hose over a head now what for the math you see the latest study that says it gets a better seal because that's marginally better that lockdowns are good.

426
01:04:22.680 --> 01:04:23.400
WLWV Board Room: No luck there.

427
01:04:24.420 --> 01:04:24.780
WLWV Board Room: alright.

428
01:04:25.980 --> 01:04:30.030
WLWV Board Room: So much get sick won't transmit if you went over Thank you very much.

429
01:04:35.250 --> 01:04:37.200
WLWV Board Room: Alright last name is Matthews.

430
01:04:38.460 --> 01:04:43.230
Okay, and would you please just let us know your address, or where you live, I live in Westland.

431
01:04:44.610 --> 01:04:52.140
And I wasn't planning on speaking today, but I do have some questions for the board, and I would like to know if you can answer.

432
01:04:55.500 --> 01:05:08.160
WLWV Board Room: i'll start with I saw my school cedar park and at the slide and It made me realize I haven't been in my child's school I haven't met my child's teacher.

433
01:05:09.660 --> 01:05:09.990
WLWV Board Room: ever.

434
01:05:11.250 --> 01:05:22.410
WLWV Board Room: And it made me realize when do parents, my question is, when will parents, be allowed to go back to school and not be discriminated on vaccination status that's very important.

435
01:05:22.950 --> 01:05:27.390
WLWV Board Room: I used to volunteer with reading and I used to be very much part of my sons.

436
01:05:28.170 --> 01:05:46.800
WLWV Board Room: and daughters education and I love helping and getting to know, teachers, I feel so severed from the school I feel completely disconnected from my child's education, because I can't participate and i'd like to know when parents will be able to go back to school.

437
01:05:48.600 --> 01:05:57.090
WLWV Board Room: Children haven't had a chance to have any field trips any meet and greets like we have ice cream social before school that's gone.

438
01:05:58.560 --> 01:06:15.570
WLWV Board Room: My son's going to middle school, I was able to visit to make the decision, because we have a choice in our in our in our area and I don't know if we'll be able to for the school, so he can decide, and so we would like to know if that's in the cards as well.

439
01:06:17.580 --> 01:06:19.140
i'm also concerned about.

440
01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:27.990
WLWV Board Room: exclude something about making the vaccine unvaccinated teachers wear a mask after everyone's not wearing a mask.

441
01:06:28.380 --> 01:06:34.980
WLWV Board Room: doesn't feel very inclusive, to me, and it feels like it's actually like shameful to have to wear a mask.

442
01:06:35.550 --> 01:06:40.860
WLWV Board Room: And they're in a way, disclosing their medical status to their students, I feel that's wrong.

443
01:06:41.490 --> 01:06:50.010
WLWV Board Room: And I feel that kids who are already been traumatized might suddenly feel scared of their teacher, because now they know they weren't injected.

444
01:06:50.550 --> 01:06:59.520
WLWV Board Room: So maybe we might want to reconsider that because it doesn't feel like I said very inclusive and it actually might trigger some children who are not feeling so.

445
01:07:02.370 --> 01:07:06.660
Again, I do read it reiterate local control is very important.

446
01:07:08.460 --> 01:07:09.150
We.

447
01:07:10.230 --> 01:07:23.310
WLWV Board Room: definitely have awakened to parents, I feel like these meetings are only going to get bigger and be prepared for that, if we don't unmask our children soon and also just let life happen again, we can't.

448
01:07:25.140 --> 01:07:26.880
WLWV Board Room: A lot of countries have treated.

449
01:07:28.170 --> 01:07:40.110
WLWV Board Room: The virus as a flu it officially, which means we have to accept that people will get sick every flu season and that some people may go to the hospital.

450
01:07:40.890 --> 01:07:53.160
WLWV Board Room: The flu does that we also need to ask ourselves what happened to the flu it's not nobody gets flu everybody just get it now so every year, we only going to get covered and no longer get the flu that doesn't.

451
01:07:54.210 --> 01:07:56.910
WLWV Board Room: And I told my son today about the.

452
01:07:58.110 --> 01:08:06.780
WLWV Board Room: The masking rescinded had to say, possibly because i'm not even sure of anything anymore, and he can he wants to have a mask burning party.

453
01:08:07.410 --> 01:08:18.600
WLWV Board Room: that's how happy, he was and i'm almost and I was so happy to, and then I just felt myself up and feel like oh God, I hope we don't pull the rug again, because that would just be really traumatizing.

454
01:08:30.270 --> 01:08:31.710
that's everybody on the list.

455
01:08:32.730 --> 01:08:34.950
i'm going to move forward to the next agenda item.

456
01:08:37.050 --> 01:08:41.790
Which is from the business office and Dr sunlight Hughes.

457
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:01.890

463
01:09:54.330 --> 01:10:05.310
WLWV Board Room: Now, before I talk about the nsp process, so I do want to provide a couple of very sincere thank yous beginning with just a call out to your superintendent Kathy Ludwig.

464
01:10:06.120 --> 01:10:13.650
WLWV Board Room: Cathy is a very highly respected member of our regional superintendents group and as you have heard know.

465

506
01:16:47.970 --> 01:16:57.510
WLWV Board Room: I do have a couple of questions, thank you this, the caliber of your work is this keeps improving every year i've been helping the board for seven years, and I think.

507
01:16:57.870 --> 01:17:01.230
WLWV Board Room: And you know I just see that you just continue to fine tune.

508
01:17:01.800 --> 01:17:08.820
WLWV Board Room: What you're doing there and I do have a quick two questions, one is about the student the student investment X and i'm seeing it referred to in the materials and.

509
01:17:09.180 --> 01:17:19.620
WLWV Board Room: The implementation of that and i'm just curious how the SI grant has impacted the work that you're doing, and if you could just get you know flush out some of the details about that for me.

510
01:17:20.040 --> 01:17:26.640
WLWV Board Room: yeah I also have a question about the flight team, so I don't know if that's Dr Spencer, I am, but I would love to hear a little more okay yeah.

511
01:17:27.210 --> 01:17:36.330
WLWV Board Room: So, first with the student investment account, which is a part of the students and sex success act those dollars were allocated, as you may.

512
01:17:36.990 --> 01:17:55.500
WLWV Board Room: recall by by the Oregon legislature and as a part of that allocation, there is an assignment to the local education service districts provide technical assistance to your component school districts on both engaging and walking through a multi step process where you are.

513
01:17:56.670 --> 01:18:11.040
WLWV Board Room: completing a around of Community engagement and needs assessment and program development and then analysis and evaluation of those investments, as all as a whole cycle.

514
01:18:12.090 --> 01:18:17.190
WLWV Board Room: Obviously coven and the pandemic interrupted some of those plans and so.

515
01:18:18.630 --> 01:18:28.200
WLWV Board Room: Like many things that has had to be pivoted to some degree and and we are looking forward to moving forward and seeing some of those investments.

516
01:18:29.430 --> 01:18:40.170
WLWV Board Room: manifest in the way they were originally intended, but I have to tell you that it was fortunate that we had them, because one of our greatest needs and across the county was an area of mental health and.

517
01:18:40.860 --> 01:18:50.520
WLWV Board Room: social support for students and that's where most of our districts were putting most of their effort, though, so it has been a resource that we've turned to greatly.

518
01:18:51.120 --> 01:19:00.570
WLWV Board Room: Looking forward, I know that the state is looking at a number of other state level programs that include investment things like high school success act.

519
01:19:01.140 --> 01:19:10.320
WLWV Board Room: And as and they're looking to try to put those together and create one cohesive process that will allow districts, to eliminate a lot of redundancy.

520
01:19:10.590 --> 01:19:18.720
WLWV Board Room: In terms of their processes application evaluation and reporting that they have for the state, and these will participate in supporting that as well.

521
01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:23.820
WLWV Board Room: But some of the things that I know that we did as an ESP for.

522
01:19:25.170 --> 01:19:41.160
For the student investment accounts now are things like doing data analysis and reporting for school districts, as they were developing their plan and then we'll be working with them on their comprehensive reports for evaluation.

523
01:19:47.400 --> 01:19:52.350
I thank you for that and the flight team, would you be willing to speak to that a little bit.

524
01:19:54.360 --> 01:20:04.050
WLWV Board Room: This you know describe just briefly like you know what what it is, what is the flight yeah yeah thats related to crisis response.

525
01:20:04.470 --> 01:20:17.580
WLWV Board Room: And so it's assembling teams of professionals, mainly in the area of social and mental health, sports and providing it team that is going to respond.

526
01:20:18.480 --> 01:20:31.230
WLWV Board Room: Regionally to incidents or issues that may happen in local school districts or in our area, many of our school districts already had flight teams, but we were we are trying to coordinate a more cohesive.

527
01:20:32.430 --> 01:20:48.030
WLWV Board Room: Planning and training and also collaboration across the county for responding to those events, these are things like the death of the students or the death of a teacher or some other kind of incident where there's been a traumatic response.

528
01:20:52.470 --> 01:20:52.920
Thank you.

529
01:20:56.430 --> 01:21:02.250

They will not real time fast what.

628
01:33:08.340 --> 01:33:11.490
Did you have any questions, for me, before I move on to the next.

629

631
01:33:57.960 --> 01:34:06.060
So asked you know, during this time last year addict first and foremost request for proposal.

632
01:34:07.890 --> 01:34:18.720
WLWV Board Room: Or the artist service and contrast alone to hire rank of the order form with we just have our football walrus.

633
01:34:20.280 --> 01:34:25.260
We have a three year contracts and renewable of the year.

634
01:34:26.970 --> 01:34:38.160
But often completion of the audit 2021 at the age of two unless specifically informed us that I was not renewed contract.

635
01:34:40.740 --> 01:34:58.950
So with that we would like to request the board to have to have contracts specific specify procurement to authorize a superintendent or her yes, it needs to negotiate and a secretarial an audit contract with Ali.

636
01:35:02.250 --> 01:35:05.400

638
01:35:20.820 --> 01:35:26.850
WLWV Board Room: So this best solution will not incur any racism dismissive.

639
01:35:28.770 --> 01:35:31.620
So with that i'm 16 for board approval.

640

Louis Taylor: Do you have anything over there, Dr Taylor any questions or no, no i've gotten my questions answered already, I have a couple of questions.

01:36:20.040 --> 01:36:23.700
Louis Taylor: Ali Roger where's my saying their name correctly.

646
01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:42.060
WLWV Board Room: And we've had them in the past, we had them for some years, and then they went away and we had the other firm and now we're going to go back, can you just speak a little bit to maybe like what Why did we stop with them, to begin with and understand the need to go back, but.

647
01:36:43.080 --> 01:36:47.430
WLWV Board Room: You know me the we we had employed holly Rogers for.

648
01:36:48.510 --> 01:36:56.730
WLWV Board Room: I would say good 20 years as auditors they work with quite a number of school districts in Oregon I think they're the most.

649
01:36:57.990 --> 01:36:58.440
Is.

650
01:36:59.700 --> 01:37:05.430
WLWV Board Room: Used auditing firm and Oregon with school districts they're very experienced and then.

651
01:37:07.770 --> 01:37:14.820
WLWV Board Room: The Board prior to this board and even last board, there was some interest by a few Members around.

652
01:37:16.260 --> 01:37:27.990
WLWV Board Room: Is it is it a good practice to rotate not just auditors that maybe even an auditing company, and while auditors would say you know we actually rotate.

653
01:37:28.620 --> 01:37:45.480
WLWV Board Room: Who comes out and does the audit and that that allows us to have fresh eyes, there was a thinking by some board members number of years ago that even maybe a change from a company could be could be welcome, and maybe some new learning so we entered into an rfp process.

654
01:37:46.530 --> 01:37:56.670
WLWV Board Room: And, once again, you know polly Rogers did very well that process, but there was another firm that was not them wilcox era donda that also rose to the.

655
01:37:57.180 --> 01:38:07.890
WLWV Board Room: surface during that process, and so the consensus of the board at that time was to try another firm and just see if some fresh eyes would be.

656
01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:27.360
WLWV Board Room: New learning and welcome additions to the district and and they were they were wonderful firm to work with you met Mr john doe on several occasions of previous boarded who would do his reports and they were very responsive and had great insights also gave us clean audits every year.

657
01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:32.790
WLWV Board Room: And then they announced last year that they were actually closing as a firm.

658
01:38:33.900 --> 01:38:40.860
WLWV Board Room: And Moving on, he was moving on to do some consulting work and they were finishing up their contracts and as ours was.

659
01:38:41.430 --> 01:38:54.750
WLWV Board Room: His third year completion, is it finished, and so we went back to do another rfp once again polly Rogers was very interested in having us back as clients and rose to the surface again.

660
01:38:55.980 --> 01:38:57.690
WLWV Board Room: And tk w also.

661
01:38:59.070 --> 01:39:20.880
WLWV Board Room: You know just really stood out during the process and, in that the committee at the time that selected and brought before the board gk w felt that again, might it be helpful to just have another firm and not just immediately go back to folly Rogers so we gave it a.

662
01:39:22.260 --> 01:39:26.070
WLWV Board Room: Good effort 50 K w and and here we are.

WLWV Board Room: Yes, thank you, I lived through all that, but I could not recall it all, thank you for those reminders and then I know Piper sandler is another.

684
01:42:25.770 --> 01:42:33.750
WLWV Board Room: um so I just want to start by kind of the Origination of where this letter of appreciation came from because someone asked me is this something.

685
01:42:34.140 --> 01:42:50.400
WLWV Board Room: A statement that the board makes every year at this time because there's lots of things that we do every year certain times like this time of the year, we approve our yesterday plan our eft plan so no it's not and where it came from was I.

686
01:42:51.510 --> 01:43:02.670
WLWV Board Room: My day job I teach exercise classes at a gym and one of those classes, is an early morning class and in that morning early morning class I get several teachers.

687
01:43:08.760 --> 01:43:23.010
WLWV Board Room: I get several teachers and educators and they take my early morning class before they come into the schools and some of them are teachers and educators in our district, and some of them are in other districts and so a couple weeks ago as.

688
01:43:24.540 --> 01:43:33.210
WLWV Board Room: Class was getting ready to as class was over, and some of them are leaving I just felt in my heart, I just said, to all of them, thank you.

689
01:43:33.720 --> 01:43:39.840
WLWV Board Room: For what you're doing in our schools to keep them open and keep our children engaged in in person learning.

690
01:43:40.320 --> 01:43:57.390
WLWV Board Room: And at that moment hit me why am I not saying this, what if we said this publicly like I want to say this to all of the staff members in our district, and I want to make sure, but not all of them come to my class, so I guess I better write this letter, and so I spoke with.

691
01:43:58.710 --> 01:44:10.230
WLWV Board Room: chair king and just shared with her, and also with Dr Ludwig that I had this idea that I wanted to write a public letter of appreciation that the board, would be able to.

692
01:44:11.250 --> 01:44:16.440
WLWV Board Room: You know kind of approve and that we could submit publicly to all of our staff.

693
01:44:17.070 --> 01:44:28.380
WLWV Board Room: And to let them know that they were appreciated that it would be sent out to them and then also could it be sent out to our Community so i'm going to go ahead and read it, and because it's short and I think it's important.

694
01:44:30.690 --> 01:44:32.430
WLWV Board Room: i'm going to hold my microphone like this.

695
01:44:34.920 --> 01:44:43.740
WLWV Board Room: Now I don't know what I do need help, but if, for some reason i'm just not doing well with the MIC tonight and so dear Westland Wilson ville education professionals.

696
01:44:44.430 --> 01:44:52.320
WLWV Board Room: It is with great appreciation for each one of you and your contributions in our schools that the Westland Wilson ville school board writes this letter of things.

697
01:44:53.010 --> 01:45:01.830
WLWV Board Room: We want to acknowledge that it is because of your diligence and commitment to the students in our district that our schools continue to remain open for in person learning.

698
01:45:02.790 --> 01:45:11.280
WLWV Board Room: This applies to each of you whether you interact with students on the front lines or work behind the scenes to support those on the front lines, thank you.

699
01:45:11.940 --> 01:45:24.660
WLWV Board Room: We know that you are working extra shifts covering colleagues classes during your prep times arriving earlier and staying later and going above and beyond your required responsibilities to serve our students and community.

700

WLWV Board Room: Thank you for standing in the gaps created by this pandemic and continuing to grow student achievement and generate equitable equitable outcomes for all of our students.

702
01:45:47.700 --> 01:45:54.690
WLWV Board Room: name on that as well as mine and that's because we crafted the letter together, so we have not added the other board members.

703
01:45:55.470 --> 01:46:06.480
WLWV Board Room: Because we wanted to make sure that they had an opportunity to I don't know what proof of exactly what we're gonna do share king, or we just kind of doing a nod of approval i'm not.

706
01:46:21.840 --> 01:46:25.020
WLWV Board Room: pick a motion to approve the letter.

707
01:46:26.640 --> 01:46:30.420
WLWV Board Room: And then we can have any further discussion on the letter.

708
01:46:32.880 --> 01:46:44.700
WLWV Board Room: If we find that we're doing a lot of word smithing, then I think that could be an indicator to us that we might not be ready to move forward so that's just one thing I want to invite into the process.

709
01:46:46.380 --> 01:46:47.430
and

710
01:46:50.670 --> 01:46:54.150

01:46:55.590 --> 01:46:56.190

712
01:46:57.660 --> 01:47:00.300

WLWV Board Room: You know, in the education world we have you know overwhelm and turnover and burnout and retirement and you know we're looking down the pipeline wondering who's going to come in behind the education professionals and.

731
01:49:40.320 --> 01:49:49.470
WLWV Board Room: I just really appreciate the storyline that tells tells the narrative of the heroes and our schools and how much appreciation our community has for them.

732
01:49:49.890 --> 01:50:05.040
WLWV Board Room: And that's true for the education professionals who are in the building today and those who are coming behind them that we also you know appreciate those who are studying and preparing to become professional so yeah, thank you for putting this together you're hiding it.

733
01:50:08.340 --> 01:50:09.600
WLWV Board Room: Okay, I think we can call a vote.

734
01:50:26.850 --> 01:50:29.910
WLWV Board Room: And jerking can I, so the other thing I would like to.

735
01:50:31.200 --> 01:50:33.240
WLWV Board Room: sharking and i've also spoken and.

736
01:50:34.410 --> 01:50:36.450
WLWV Board Room: While we want to make sure that.

737
01:50:38.160 --> 01:50:47.220
WLWV Board Room: Our entire district staff hears our verbal appreciation and we would like to propose taking it one step further and so we're just.

738
01:50:47.610 --> 01:51:03.120
WLWV Board Room: letting kind of the Board know proposing it and we have spoken with Dr Hughes and with Dr Ludwig and they have let us know that it would be possible with our budget to award every one of our district staff members with a $1,000.

739
01:51:05.130 --> 01:51:22.170
WLWV Board Room: BONUS so that is something that we're going to be proposing and bringing before the board, either at our work session at the end of this month, or at our first meeting in March so we're not voting on any any of it today, but just kind of letting you know about that.

740
01:51:23.670 --> 01:51:30.000
WLWV Board Room: And that is something that you will see in either one of those two meetings coming up that I vector ludwick is there any.

741
01:51:31.590 --> 01:51:32.700
WLWV Board Room: edit to what I just said.

742
01:51:35.370 --> 01:51:38.220
No it's fine okay i'm unless there's any questions for us.

743
01:51:39.390 --> 01:51:41.490
Louis Taylor: The only question that I have is that a.

744
01:51:42.990 --> 01:51:54.930
Louis Taylor: A proposal that we will be discussing in a working session or it will it be a proposal that will come before the Community and the public and in a board format.

745
01:51:57.480 --> 01:52:07.530
WLWV Board Room: So we haven't decided chair king and I have talked and we're not sure if it will be, it will be discussing it at the work session or at our regular meeting in March.

746
01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:10.320
Louis Taylor: Thank you and.

747
01:52:10.710 --> 01:52:15.750
WLWV Board Room: And both work sessions and regular meetings are open to the public, so it.

748
01:52:17.190 --> 01:52:26.550
So they are both observable by the public in terms of what the board work is or discussions are, I think, either way, the public will see it on the agenda and can.

749
01:52:28.080 --> 01:52:34.230
WLWV Board Room: submit testimony and typically though you know this work sessions are preserved more for a deep dive and education.

750
01:52:34.800 --> 01:52:46.230
WLWV Board Room: For the board and so and they'll actually can't recall what we have on the agenda for that night, but we can take a look at the agenda seats that makes sense, out of there just and March for regular meeting, I think the idea of.

751
01:52:46.710 --> 01:52:53.430
WLWV Board Room: The announcements nine is just the spirit of no surprises and to be able to let folks know that that conversation was going on and.

752
01:52:54.660 --> 01:52:56.580
That will be coming forthcoming.

753
01:52:58.740 --> 01:52:59.100
Thank you.

754
01:53:02.970 --> 01:53:08.760
WLWV Board Room: Some process, since all of you have agreed, we will then take this draft place it on district to.

755
01:53:10.080 --> 01:53:12.360
place it on district letterhead and.

756
01:53:14.280 --> 01:53:21.000
WLWV Board Room: Okay district letterhead and then we will get that out to all of the staff and the district staff.

757
01:53:22.440 --> 01:53:30.210
WLWV Board Room: And we can we also make sure that it goes out in our Community listserv so that our entire community sees that as well, you can do that, thank you.

758
01:53:34.380 --> 01:53:50.670
WLWV Board Room: All right, very good, but the next agenda item is a letter to the governor and Oregon health authority and that's i'll turn it over to director sloop and i'll just as much like with that letter we just did.

759
01:53:53.280 --> 01:53:53.760
That.

760
01:53:57.000 --> 01:54:04.410
WLWV Board Room: If we fall into a place where we're finding that we're doing a lot of word smithing that that's an indicator for us, or perhaps are not ready to move forward and so.

761
01:54:05.880 --> 01:54:07.740
They went easy with the first letter so.

762
01:54:09.000 --> 01:54:10.410
i'll hand it over to Dr slip.

763
01:54:14.010 --> 01:54:14.550
Okay.

764
01:54:16.080 --> 01:54:16.650
WLWV Board Room: So.

765
01:54:19.170 --> 01:54:20.280
This might be.

766
01:54:22.800 --> 01:54:24.810
WLWV Board Room: The timing so with a.

767
01:54:29.340 --> 01:54:38.820
WLWV Board Room: Oh ha and O D saying that they're going to lift the indoor mask requirement for the schools on march 31 and.

768
01:54:40.110 --> 01:54:41.760
WLWV Board Room: I think it's still important.

769
01:54:42.810 --> 01:55:03.540
WLWV Board Room: That the metrics be in place for that or local county control, since that is not very specific and we do have to permanent mask rules in place, one is K through 12 and then today they implemented the statewide indoor mask mandate or.

770
01:55:05.100 --> 01:55:05.820
businesses.

771
01:55:06.840 --> 01:55:13.680
WLWV Board Room: So, should I go ahead and read the letter that Dr Taylor, and I suppose.

772
01:55:17.070 --> 01:55:20.340
I think it's it's I suppose up to you.

773
01:55:22.350 --> 01:55:29.340
As the board have a preference mean it we don't always read the letter but yeah if you feel like reading the letter you can read the letter we don't have to we all have it.

774
01:55:31.110 --> 01:55:38.220
director Thompson read the letter, mostly because it was short Okay, think of appreciation it's not like standard process that you have to read it so.

775
01:55:39.240 --> 01:55:52.200
WLWV Board Room: Okay, so um for anyone that's listening, or does not have the lettering friends and basically it was a summary of just requesting that.

776
01:55:54.420 --> 01:56:01.620
WLWV Board Room: Control go transition to local public county health and that a one size fits all.

777
01:56:03.180 --> 01:56:13.260
WLWV Board Room: is not appropriate anymore after we've been into dealing with coven for over two years, and now that we have vaccinations for over five years old.

778
01:56:15.480 --> 01:56:19.860
WLWV Board Room: As well as at home testing shortened quarantine.

779
01:56:21.090 --> 01:56:32.340
WLWV Board Room: Good viable treatment options with antivirals monoclonal antibody monoclonal therapies and a better understanding of covert and and how it affects people.

780
01:56:33.630 --> 01:56:40.950
WLWV Board Room: And I do know that, as we are moving forward, as I mentioned earlier, I would like to add more of.

781
01:56:42.750 --> 01:56:43.290
WLWV Board Room: Maybe.

782
01:56:44.460 --> 01:56:49.920
WLWV Board Room: motioning to have one amendment, and that is something that director Wyatt.

783
01:56:52.800 --> 01:57:01.140
WLWV Board Room: recommended, and that is you focus more on establishing some metrics and so there's a paragraph that I would like to.

784
01:57:02.400 --> 01:57:05.130
into our letter I read that one.

785
01:57:07.020 --> 01:57:07.290
Okay.

786
01:57:08.490 --> 01:57:16.650
WLWV Board Room: and to ensure the continued success of our students, we ask that you develop clearly stated metrics to move us toward lifting coven 19 mandate.

787
01:57:17.010 --> 01:57:32.370
WLWV Board Room: Our students and teachers will be most successful if you provide metrics from which the permanent mask real may be rescinded please consider this request for public health metrics that we may begin studying mathematics safely and I feel that that is necessary because.

788
01:57:34.080 --> 01:57:38.880
WLWV Board Room: They resend it supposedly on march 31 we don't know when they will.

789
01:57:39.960 --> 01:57:51.660
WLWV Board Room: You know it's implemented again as far as the county and then again lifting it again, so I would like to make sure that there are some type of metrics that the county will go by.

790
01:57:58.650 --> 01:58:05.970
Louis Taylor: hey Thank you and, if you want to read the letter certain man we're not an attempted, you know not have you.

791
01:58:07.170 --> 01:58:07.500
um.

792
01:58:08.760 --> 01:58:11.310
So let me know you want to director Taylor, are you.

793
01:58:13.020 --> 01:58:14.340
Wanting to speak to this, I know.

794
01:58:17.550 --> 01:58:18.750
Louis Taylor: My only.

795
01:58:19.860 --> 01:58:20.490
Louis Taylor: I guess.

796
01:58:21.660 --> 01:58:24.690
Louis Taylor: words that I have to add to any of this is that.

797
01:58:26.130 --> 01:58:29.460
Louis Taylor: I do stand by the letter I do think that it needs to be sent.

798
01:58:31.290 --> 01:58:32.190
Louis Taylor: However.

799
01:58:33.510 --> 01:58:36.930
Louis Taylor: It needs to be wordsmith so that everybody's warm and fuzzy about it.

800
01:58:38.400 --> 01:58:49.740
Louis Taylor: You know i'm fine with, but I think it does need to be sent, in my opinion, to represent our Community, I think there's been a lot of promises coming out of a lot of different camps and.

801
01:58:51.090 --> 01:58:53.850
Louis Taylor: And i'm not really too concerned about.

802
01:58:54.870 --> 01:59:06.840
Louis Taylor: Politics and or any of those things and I don't if it's if it's at a point where because there's names in a letter versus no names, or if there's certain language in a letter.

803
01:59:08.580 --> 01:59:09.150
Louis Taylor: You know.

804
01:59:10.260 --> 01:59:17.250
Louis Taylor: We all know who's making decisions and who's not making decisions and and and the situation that we're all sitting here in.

805
01:59:17.730 --> 01:59:27.030
Louis Taylor: And so the letter is in the spirit of representing the Community regardless of names, or if no names are in there, so whatever we need to do as a board.

806
01:59:27.690 --> 01:59:35.310
Louis Taylor: To get the letter out, I think that that's what we do and I think that the point of the letter will be taken, the way it's meant to be taken.

807
01:59:35.820 --> 01:59:42.540
Louis Taylor: And, and I stand behind it for that, so if there's word smithing that needs to go on, I back the word smithing.

808
01:59:42.870 --> 01:59:59.730
Louis Taylor: If there's a if it gets sent off in the manner that it is i'm fine with that, too, I think the attend the letter is will get across and so that's, the only thing I have to say about it and, and I support the letter, based on my values my family is we've all had coven.

809
02:00:01.590 --> 02:00:19.500
Louis Taylor: And some of us multiple times and we all wear masks we're all vaccinated we have no problem with any of that stuff, but this is where i'm at based on my value system, so I support it and whatever the rest of you need to kind of figure out to wordsmith it I supportive, so thank you.

810
02:00:24.660 --> 02:00:25.680
Louis Taylor: All right, thank you.

811
02:00:27.090 --> 02:00:27.390
Yes.

812
02:00:29.580 --> 02:00:35.550
WLWV Board Room: Your sleep references, but I did do a Passover the original letter.

813
02:00:36.930 --> 02:00:39.000
WLWV Board Room: To make some changes.

814
02:00:40.380 --> 02:00:46.470
WLWV Board Room: Really around style you know, to make sure that the letter reads like a letter as we're sending it to the governor.

815
02:00:47.130 --> 02:01:01.830
WLWV Board Room: You know not not referring to the governor in the letter we're sending to the governor we're really trying to make it a letter that's from us that reflects these values that we've talked about, and so you have a hard copy in front of you.

816
02:01:02.940 --> 02:01:15.390
WLWV Board Room: But just, generally speaking, wanted to paint a picture of how as a school district, we made a decision at our July meeting it the doctors operational framework.

817
02:01:17.040 --> 02:01:27.720
WLWV Board Room: wanted to call out the fact that you know that was strongly supported by lots of different groups here, you know bath administrators Union leadership Community feedback I.

818
02:01:28.920 --> 02:01:37.710
WLWV Board Room: wanted to also really stress that you know we're working with different staff is working with local public health authority to make sure that we're doing everything safely.

819
02:01:39.630 --> 02:01:46.800
WLWV Board Room: I think that we should call out the fact that we, you know very proudly didn't close you know, during with a micron variant.

820
02:01:48.480 --> 02:01:55.560
WLWV Board Room: And then the paragraph that director sleeper ED which is setting some benchmarks for a framework for.

821
02:01:56.610 --> 02:02:07.020
WLWV Board Room: If we have another variance we've been and if something were to happen again, we would have those metrics which seems like a reasonable measure for us to be very efficient.

822
02:02:08.010 --> 02:02:21.570
WLWV Board Room: And thinking about a public health crisis and then again keeping the language that director sleeping Taylor wrote about our vaccination rates in our communities that we serve and then closing the letter with.

823
02:02:22.740 --> 02:02:37.260
WLWV Board Room: The summation that reasonable metrics will allow our students to thrive it'll allow us to understand like what the goal is, or what the measure is, and so I don't know if the ways the way that I edited it matches.

824
02:02:38.820 --> 02:02:44.340
WLWV Board Room: What you all have in mind, but I I feel comfortable with the edits that I wrote.

825
02:02:45.450 --> 02:02:48.480
WLWV Board Room: And you know with would put my name on.

826
02:02:49.740 --> 02:02:51.090
What put my name on that letter.

827
02:02:57.090 --> 02:03:06.000
WLWV Board Room: Okay, thank you, so I, it seems to me and director Taylor, I think we have it printed here, but you have it in your inbox probably.

828
02:03:06.210 --> 02:03:07.920
Louis Taylor: i've seen it i've read both of them.

829
02:03:08.220 --> 02:03:09.210
WLWV Board Room: Okay yeah so.

830
02:03:10.410 --> 02:03:12.750
WLWV Board Room: We have two letters that are.

831
02:03:13.860 --> 02:03:15.570
WLWV Board Room: Saying similar things.

832
02:03:21.510 --> 02:03:23.100
WLWV Board Room: So yeah go ahead.

833
02:03:23.850 --> 02:03:28.260
Louis Taylor: And my one question and I may have missed it in your letter and.

834
02:03:28.320 --> 02:03:40.740
WLWV Board Room: director, why it was the asking of the Oregon health authority to restore control to the local council county public health or to local control is that did I miss that or is that addressed in your letter.

835
02:03:42.600 --> 02:03:44.280
WLWV Board Room: You did not miss it okay and.

836
02:03:45.330 --> 02:03:48.210
WLWV Board Room: To me asking for these metrics.

837
02:03:49.380 --> 02:03:59.220
WLWV Board Room: Is I felt like we were being repetitive in that first letter and overstating and then restating and I think asking for an actionable item.

838
02:04:00.330 --> 02:04:15.570
WLWV Board Room: makes more sense I also just to be really clear don't believe during a public health pandemic that that local control in determining something like that is reasonable, so I would not be supportive of having not in the letter okay.

839
02:04:17.790 --> 02:04:18.930
WLWV Board Room: Thank you for clarifying that.

840
02:04:24.090 --> 02:04:31.890
WLWV Board Room: Alright, so this is where I you know i'm dialed into process as the Chair it's my job to kind of guide us through a decision.

841
02:04:34.290 --> 02:04:41.370
WLWV Board Room: We have some options we can continue to discuss the merits of the two letters in front of us.

842
02:04:42.600 --> 02:04:47.070
WLWV Board Room: That might be helpful prior to emotion.

843
02:04:51.120 --> 02:04:53.400
WLWV Board Room: Or we could get emotion on the table.

844
02:04:56.400 --> 02:05:05.550
Louis Taylor: i'm happy to speak to some of what's coming up for me as I read the two letters if that's helpful to folks i'm not gonna you know be great I have emotion okay great.

845
02:05:06.930 --> 02:05:07.620
um.

846
02:05:10.140 --> 02:05:19.320
WLWV Board Room: yeah I was thankful when I saw this announcement come out from oh ha today because it gives a finish line you know some sort.

847
02:05:24.750 --> 02:05:31.980
WLWV Board Room: And I appreciate everybody who's putting effort into writing a letter I know you're responding to.

848
02:05:33.630 --> 02:05:35.550
You know, members of the community who are.

849
02:05:36.840 --> 02:05:39.510
asking for something and have been asking for it.

850
02:05:42.210 --> 02:05:45.630
WLWV Board Room: When I compare the two letters.

851
02:05:48.120 --> 02:06:08.190
WLWV Board Room: I think that what director Wyatt did with the original version does a couple things for me that that brings me to a yes vote where I wasn't quite there with this first draft of the letter and a couple things on i'll just speak to what those are one is.

852
02:06:09.360 --> 02:06:10.950
WLWV Board Room: The stylistic approach.

853
02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:31.350
WLWV Board Room: That that turned it into you know more of that speaking speaking of one voice from the board to the governor and you know that voice, and then the other is a very clear ask for metrics a statement that.

854
02:06:32.520 --> 02:06:45.330
WLWV Board Room: we've done everything we're supposed to do and we need to know the metrics by which we're operating, and that is an ask I can 100% get behind.

855
02:06:46.530 --> 02:06:53.640
WLWV Board Room: It makes complete sense for us to know for any organization to know what their goal is, and whether or not they've hit it.

856
02:06:55.080 --> 02:07:03.090
WLWV Board Room: So I would have no reservations and asking for a specific database benchmark by which we're all you know working toward.

857
02:07:04.620 --> 02:07:17.010
WLWV Board Room: My my one hesitation with local control i've been asking myself what is it about this for me and I land back at this idea of interdependence.

858
02:07:18.420 --> 02:07:21.990
WLWV Board Room: And I was thinking like what does that mean for me and I, you know thought of.

859
02:07:23.100 --> 02:07:32.580
WLWV Board Room: Just to bring out super close to home, like when when my dad and seaside had a heart attack they life flighted him the St Vincent and portland.

860
02:07:33.420 --> 02:07:53.730
WLWV Board Room: You know my mom and southern Oregon who needs a liver resection still travel to Otis you for that liberal resection so our hospital system up here in the tri counties is directly responding to everything that's happening in our whole state and neighboring States too.

861
02:07:55.290 --> 02:08:12.090
WLWV Board Room: So my concern with this idea of anything that has to do with local control for a public health thing is that it does matter what happens and and neighboring counties and communities, because it will affect you know it will affect our hospital system and the whole state.

862
02:08:13.440 --> 02:08:24.960
WLWV Board Room: So that's the part where I think you know way of saying it is you know public local control during public a public health pandemic is doesn't make any sense and with I boil down, why does that not make sense to me it comes to.

863
02:08:25.380 --> 02:08:31.260
WLWV Board Room: The fact that we're not a silo that we are interdependent and what's happening in one Community is affecting the other.

864
02:08:31.950 --> 02:08:54.600
WLWV Board Room: So if I look at these two letters, the second letter as taken out language about local control, which leaves an ambiguity to me about what that means, and is zeroed in on metrics with a very clear ass, and so I would feel comfortable saying yes and voting on this letter.

865
02:08:55.860 --> 02:09:08.130
WLWV Board Room: And I probably would vote no on that first letter, and I would also ask the board that's that's just my take my opinion and then just as far as like procedurally the one other thing I would add.

866
02:09:08.790 --> 02:09:18.270
WLWV Board Room: Is that the board consider the power of we're writing a letter to the governor that's going to be publish wherever it's going to be published.

867
02:09:19.980 --> 02:09:26.280
WLWV Board Room: The power of having a unanimous vote on a letter versus a letter with a split vote.

868
02:09:26.940 --> 02:09:41.130
WLWV Board Room: And so I just think it's something that we, we can hold as we try to move forward with meaningful action and actually you know sending something that the that the weight at which a unanimous vote could carry so i'm going to ask us to consider.

869
02:09:46.290 --> 02:09:47.010
Louis Taylor: question.

870
02:09:48.450 --> 02:09:50.190
Louis Taylor: And please excuse my ignorance.

871
02:09:51.330 --> 02:10:06.060
Louis Taylor: So um is there when you asked for metrics versus specifically asking for local control is there, what is the difference between the two i'm asking because I really don't know and so.

872
02:10:07.680 --> 02:10:13.230
Louis Taylor: If I if we asked someone directly for local control like you said I understand what the example that you just gave.

873
02:10:14.400 --> 02:10:24.420
Louis Taylor: A chair king and specifically asking someone for directly what you want, which is local control what is the difference between the two is it a is it a you know.

874
02:10:25.170 --> 02:10:39.840
Louis Taylor: 180 degree difference is that a 30 degree difference between asking for metrics versus the other i'm just trying to understand because i'm i'm typically have a pretty direct person I asked her specifically what I want, and so, if.

875
02:10:40.920 --> 02:10:46.350
Louis Taylor: If if word smithing it makes it feel warmer when the governor receives it.

876
02:10:48.180 --> 02:10:56.340
Louis Taylor: You know by by asking for metrics is a better way to do it versus just saying hey, we would like to have local control of our 80% vaccinated community.

877
02:10:56.670 --> 02:11:05.010
Louis Taylor: Which is, we were told it was going to be 70% and now, people are just tired right and you're asking directly, so what is the difference, so I can understand.

878
02:11:06.180 --> 02:11:07.860
Louis Taylor: As we kind of go through this process.

879
02:11:16.020 --> 02:11:21.600
WLWV Board Room: Assuming that the two of you propose this letter and so probably you could speak to that question.

880
02:11:22.980 --> 02:11:27.420
Louis Taylor: Well, we Okay, maybe yeah would you help us we did propose it, but.

881
02:11:27.930 --> 02:11:41.700
Louis Taylor: So moved it with asking for local right and then now we're talking about mending it to include metrics and so which i'm fine with, I just want to understand the difference between the two so that's all.

882
02:11:42.330 --> 02:11:44.070
WLWV Board Room: Okay, so um.

883
02:11:46.950 --> 02:11:51.660
WLWV Board Room: I am proposing that in regards to coven hope it is going to be.

884
02:11:53.100 --> 02:12:03.840
WLWV Board Room: Here it's not going away and it's going to be eventually transitioning from a pandemic to an endemic and implementing a permanent mass girl.

885
02:12:04.950 --> 02:12:17.400
WLWV Board Room: Now versus how we were treating coven a year ago, where you know, not everybody could be vaccinated and we didn't have any any antivirals available.

886
02:12:18.780 --> 02:12:26.220
or monoclonal antibodies available we didn't really know how to treat anybody that was hospitalized and.

887
02:12:28.110 --> 02:12:39.360
WLWV Board Room: To create metrics it would be positivity rate, it would be hospitalization rate, so a lot of times for a while the Oregon health authority was basing.

888
02:12:41.100 --> 02:12:58.380
WLWV Board Room: The initial metrics for each county based on cases well cases, especially in children isn't necessarily a truly bad thing, the focus should be on hospitalizations and it should be on hospitalizations.

889
02:12:59.400 --> 02:13:11.430
WLWV Board Room: Truly from coven not with coded, so we need to create true metrics and a one size fits all did not follow.

890
02:13:13.110 --> 02:13:23.190
WLWV Board Room: up a permanent mask rule for coven so if somebody in in rural Oregon has zero cases, they should not have to be.

891
02:13:24.150 --> 02:13:39.420
WLWV Board Room: There schools or you know businesses should not have to follow the same rules as portland and then you saw later in the pandemic where portland metro you know, was very under control and and then the.

892
02:13:40.500 --> 02:13:44.790
WLWV Board Room: Rural areas of didn't have the vaccination rates that we did, and it was kind of flip flop.

893
02:13:45.960 --> 02:13:57.540
WLWV Board Room: So that is why I was being a proponent of let the counties have more of the public control I wasn't saying you know necessarily the school boards.

894
02:13:58.890 --> 02:14:00.630
But let the county public health.

895
02:14:01.680 --> 02:14:04.980
which is what the governor said back in June.

896
02:14:06.090 --> 02:14:16.290
WLWV Board Room: Is that she was going to let it have local control, so the clackamas county where we are with established the metrics of when they would resend.

897
02:14:17.310 --> 02:14:23.580
The map permanent mask rules, because those are going to be permanent so let's say they get another variant.

898
02:14:26.550 --> 02:14:34.500
It would be based on you know, whatever they just whatever criteria they decide whether it's hospitalization rates and death.

899
02:14:36.030 --> 02:14:46.890
WLWV Board Room: And it could be this or you know each county or the tri county area they could work together versus having this blanket.

900
02:14:48.060 --> 02:14:51.510
By just this you know the governor and.

901
02:14:52.530 --> 02:14:59.400
That is why I was referring it to just public county health or local control versus statewide.

902
02:15:01.080 --> 02:15:01.590
That makes sense.

903
02:15:03.000 --> 02:15:12.090
Louis Taylor: It does I just I agree with the letter, in principle, so if you got if it ends up being that the other directors need to.

904
02:15:13.620 --> 02:15:23.250
Louis Taylor: make some adjustments then i'm fine with that, I just wanted to understand better Okay, thank you Ryan, and I think one more clarifying plane and.

905
02:15:24.270 --> 02:15:32.100
WLWV Board Room: You know I think we all, we all can agree on is that lesson Wilson real parents, you know know what's best for that kid and.

906
02:15:32.640 --> 02:15:40.200
WLWV Board Room: You know our school board colleagues across the state, you know through Oregon school board Association, the concept of local control is.

907
02:15:40.590 --> 02:15:47.160
WLWV Board Room: Is near and dear to all of our hearts as school board members and for me it's because we're talking about a public health.

908
02:15:48.060 --> 02:16:08.070
WLWV Board Room: pandemic and we know that viruses don't stop at county boundaries or will district boundaries or city boundaries, and so the reason that I felt like it was important to not add such a big picture topic, and instead focus on an action that would then inform our local health department.

909
02:16:09.540 --> 02:16:19.350
WLWV Board Room: I felt like that was a more actionable way because you know down the road we're going to want to talk about local control as it relates to a lot of different things that come before the school board.

910
02:16:19.890 --> 02:16:33.960
WLWV Board Room: And I personally just don't think that public health response is reasonable to just lumped in here with everything else that generally school board members support as it relates to doing what's best for for your students and so.

911
02:16:35.250 --> 02:16:36.660
WLWV Board Room: So the lewises question.

912
02:16:38.280 --> 02:16:46.500
WLWV Board Room: My rationale for taking out that blanket term and really focusing on something that we think will help inform decision making.

913
02:16:47.250 --> 02:16:56.790
WLWV Board Room: The thing I could see adding potentially to the letter is to recognize that, in the announcement that came out today there is that direction to the county health departments.

914
02:16:57.750 --> 02:17:07.470
WLWV Board Room: To potentially provide that direction, and so we wanted to reaffirm or state or support of that I just feel like the term local control is just too big and too broad.

915
02:17:08.940 --> 02:17:18.870
WLWV Board Room: To just have it out there and so wanted to focus on action, so I hope that that helps Dr Taylor can I piggyback on that because, as I was rereading the letter.

916
02:17:19.680 --> 02:17:27.240
WLWV Board Room: And i'm just i'm putting out i'm going with the original letter, if you guys want to follow and i'm looking down 123 the fourth paragraph.

917
02:17:27.750 --> 02:17:41.700
WLWV Board Room: And it says Westland Wilson ville school board recognizes its duty to uphold the rules and formally request governor Brown and Oregon health authority to restore local control to the local county public health authorities and.

918
02:17:43.980 --> 02:17:52.530
WLWV Board Room: or provide metrics which rescind the permanent mass rule and transition control to local county public health authorities, so I just want to make sure and clarifying.

919
02:17:53.010 --> 02:18:03.240
WLWV Board Room: That that's what the intention was to return it to the local county not necessarily hey we're going to we're going to follow our local county public health.

920
02:18:04.350 --> 02:18:10.380
WLWV Board Room: So i'm wondering if there's a way to marry the two that if we put that in there and.

921
02:18:11.010 --> 02:18:13.650
Louis Taylor: That and that's that's what I was referring to.

922
02:18:15.510 --> 02:18:27.300
Louis Taylor: Vice chair Thompson was that I thought that that was a part of the letter, and it was saying, take it in and correct me if i'm wrong here you're taking it from a state level health.

923
02:18:28.260 --> 02:18:40.650
Louis Taylor: Committee to a local health Committee, all of which are health experts right, I would say that health expert at the county level is no less than an expert at the state level.

924
02:18:42.060 --> 02:18:46.410
Louis Taylor: Unless i'm wrong there I guess you could put the room for the doctors and they could hash that one out but.

925
02:18:47.760 --> 02:18:52.320
Louis Taylor: You know I health experts or health experts, whether they represent you locally.

926
02:18:53.910 --> 02:18:58.380
Louis Taylor: Your state or federally um so.

927
02:19:00.360 --> 02:19:06.390
Louis Taylor: I guess that's what I thought that that was in there and I guess that's where there was some confusion for me personally so.

928
02:19:07.980 --> 02:19:09.030
Louis Taylor: Again, thank you.

929
02:19:11.340 --> 02:19:26.400
WLWV Board Room: Because at this point, and let me just ask for clarification, Dr lead week we like Dr Sarah President is our local kind of public health authority that I feel like you have been we've been referring to a lot during this.

930
02:19:27.780 --> 02:19:28.500
WLWV Board Room: pandemic.

931
02:19:30.450 --> 02:19:45.090
WLWV Board Room: You want to speak to that I don't know if you want to speak to that at all or kind of what that relationship has been like so Dr Sarah present is the medical official of clackamas county public health department designated.

932
02:19:47.850 --> 02:19:53.370
If the lead physician but there's a team of medical professionals, that would be part of a consultation group.

933
02:19:55.530 --> 02:20:05.460
WLWV Board Room: And I I know we weren't going to words i'm trying to remember what the agreement was about word smithing but if there is a marrying of things you know there's this sentence in director why it's.

934
02:20:08.700 --> 02:20:14.490
Or the fifth power to ensure the continued success of our students, we ask that you develop clearly stated metrics.

935
02:20:15.540 --> 02:20:29.640
Perhaps you could say to inform local county public health authorities as we move toward lifting covert 19 and AIDS so maybe that's a way of putting in the local public health authority.

936
02:20:31.620 --> 02:20:38.100
WLWV Board Room: And the metrics together because they're going to make a decision based on something to and what is that.

937
02:20:39.600 --> 02:20:40.740
So they're looking now at.

938
02:20:42.150 --> 02:20:47.460
WLWV Board Room: Local metrics of some sort hospitalizations case rates as they now.

939
02:20:49.440 --> 02:20:57.930
are being charged by oh ha to begin making decisions locally So what are the metrics they are going to use as they make those.

940
02:20:58.980 --> 02:21:00.960
could be a way to use that in there.

941
02:21:06.180 --> 02:21:23.370
Louis Taylor: And I also want to thank director why because I think she's an excellent writer i'm so I don't want that to go unsaid you do a great job of of writing so thank you for your edits because it's a it's a good thing that i'm not trying to write the letter Rosa we'd all be in trouble.

942
02:21:31.020 --> 02:21:35.550
WLWV Board Room: Right, but we have a situation where we have.

943
02:21:37.290 --> 02:21:47.490
WLWV Board Room: A letter and adapt ation of the letter drafted prior to the oh ha decision that came out this afternoon that we have the decision with.

944
02:21:49.020 --> 02:22:01.320
WLWV Board Room: That came out this afternoon, and so we have a letter that may read us being slightly behind that decision, but could be you know i'm going in on the right timeline and.

945
02:22:02.850 --> 02:22:15.060
WLWV Board Room: there's a potential for some word smithing i've heard the term you know, like merge the two letters in some fashion and that could happen in this meeting, if we want to.

946
02:22:16.380 --> 02:22:21.240
spend time doing that we still have you know, a healthy agenda ahead of us.

947
02:22:22.350 --> 02:22:30.240
To make it through the evening, which was kind of my motivation was just asking them we not do a lot of words, nothing just gets awkward and drawn out and late.

948
02:22:31.320 --> 02:22:37.920
WLWV Board Room: So I think we have options we can either take emotion and vote on the motion we could.

949
02:22:38.940 --> 02:22:40.590
ask somebody to.

950
02:22:41.700 --> 02:22:53.520
merge the two letters we could ask two people like the two main authors of the letters to merge it and give it a voice it's more responsive to the decision that came out today.

951
02:22:54.090 --> 02:23:05.520
And it doesn't have to happen tonight, perhaps further thinking craft something that's more targeted that's kind of where i'm landing, as far as like where we could go next from here.

952
02:23:10.860 --> 02:23:12.090
Louis Taylor: I didn't write even love.

953
02:23:12.150 --> 02:23:17.340
WLWV Board Room: letter so but I do like the idea of maybe.

954
02:23:17.370 --> 02:23:21.600
Louis Taylor: merged and having director sleep and director Wyatt if you're agreeable.

955
02:23:23.370 --> 02:23:24.330
WLWV Board Room: Just volunteer you.

956
02:23:26.100 --> 02:23:38.760
WLWV Board Room: To working together to draft a letter and then maybe we bring it back to our work session or I all i'm saying is i'm agreeable to that if other people are agreeable i'm also agreeable to make you someone making emotion.

957
02:23:43.650 --> 02:23:46.260
Like the idea of trying to weave in what we learned today.

958
02:23:47.760 --> 02:23:59.880
Louis Taylor: You know you catch more flies with honey, and if we can say thank you for some of the things that were supportive of and then also say and here's what we hope will continue, I think that could just be an effective method as well.

959
02:24:04.470 --> 02:24:14.130
Louis Taylor: i've given my support to to both letters, so if we want to marry them and in the language is it gets our intent across i'm fine with that.

960
02:24:15.420 --> 02:24:18.840
Louis Taylor: I mentioned that in the in the beginning, so.

961
02:24:20.760 --> 02:24:25.380
Louis Taylor: You know, as long as we are trying to.

962
02:24:26.490 --> 02:24:30.390
Louis Taylor: Ask the question and get what we're specifically wanting for the Community.

963
02:24:31.620 --> 02:24:41.940
Louis Taylor: i'm definitely open to that and i'm also open to us figuring it out, because I think there's there's things on the agenda that I would rather not talk about.

964
02:24:43.170 --> 02:24:49.710
Louis Taylor: And i'd rather talk about something that we've just heard all these passionate people show up and tell us how much this care they care about this.

965
02:24:50.250 --> 02:25:02.310
Louis Taylor: And so the remaining pieces of the the agenda are just as important, but I think that this is something that will continue to hang over our heads as a board one.

966
02:25:02.880 --> 02:25:10.560
Louis Taylor: hanging over our heads as a Community, two and three, we have the opportunity to put this to bed, so why continue to carry it forward.

967
02:25:10.920 --> 02:25:26.130
Louis Taylor: So if there's a way that we can just marry the letter and come to a consensus great and if we can't then it falls by the wayside, and you know we'll deal with that collectively as a united board so that's that's and that's all I have to say about it at this point, thank you.

968
02:25:34.980 --> 02:25:36.000
So i'm.

969
02:25:38.910 --> 02:25:42.300
in coordination with what director Louis Taylor said.

970
02:25:43.860 --> 02:25:47.610
After listening to the parents tonight.

971
02:25:52.380 --> 02:25:52.920
I have to.

972
02:25:53.940 --> 02:25:55.320
I have to stick with.

973
02:26:00.390 --> 02:26:05.370
WLWV Board Room: The the idea of having metrics with as I.

974
02:26:06.870 --> 02:26:11.040
As I have in in my my letters that started, and that was.

975
02:26:12.120 --> 02:26:13.020
WLWV Board Room: local public.

976
02:26:14.700 --> 02:26:17.400
county health and not a statewide.

977
02:26:19.530 --> 02:26:19.980
Network.

978
02:26:21.180 --> 02:26:28.410
So I mean i'm I I love what director, why it has, as far as you know, the implementation of.

979
02:26:29.520 --> 02:26:35.280
Reading some metrics but with coded and how we move forward.

980
02:26:37.200 --> 02:26:38.340
We can't treat.

981
02:26:39.810 --> 02:26:41.400
It as a statewide.

982
02:26:44.790 --> 02:26:45.450
This blanket.

983
02:26:46.650 --> 02:26:47.790
blanket policy.

984
02:26:50.490 --> 02:26:55.650
And you know, and it can be each county deciding to do the same thing.

985
02:26:57.630 --> 02:27:06.810
Because they are all experts, it can be a coordinated effort that I would like to talk in this county to help guide our Community.

986
02:27:09.510 --> 02:27:13.140
feeling, as we travel, you know transition from the pandemic and.

987
02:27:14.490 --> 02:27:16.260
I would like them to create and that's.

988
02:27:18.750 --> 02:27:19.560
What I love your.

989
02:27:20.640 --> 02:27:21.750
your input and.

990
02:27:23.340 --> 02:27:24.300
Trading method.

991
02:27:29.430 --> 02:27:46.650
WLWV Board Room: Okay, so i'm going to revisit an option, because i'm hearing a little bit of split voice i'm hearing a little bit of going forward and tailoring it to be responsive to the announcement today would be fine but getting the job done tonight would also be good and desirable so.

992
02:27:49.290 --> 02:27:58.380
WLWV Board Room: Again, I think we still have in front of us, the option that we have two drafts of a letter that's a very similar things with a slight variation there could be a motion on.

993
02:27:58.830 --> 02:28:08.070
WLWV Board Room: Which one of these letters, the board, would like to vote on, with the recognition that potentially there will be a split vote on one of those letters.

994
02:28:11.190 --> 02:28:21.330
WLWV Board Room: Another option is to attempt, some word smithing honestly I would give it I would put a time limit on it, because we do need to get through the rest of the agenda.

995
02:28:23.340 --> 02:28:35.880
WLWV Board Room: So I think if there's like a slight edit that might make a letter palatable to the whole board because man I would love to get a unanimous vote on something and not a split vote on something like this.

996
02:28:37.260 --> 02:28:38.580
WLWV Board Room: it's worth the effort.

997
02:28:42.840 --> 02:28:44.160
You know, I think that the thing that's.

998
02:28:45.300 --> 02:28:54.720
WLWV Board Room: stalling a little bit with the second letter is that this this some phrase of local control being given to the county public health authority.

999
02:28:55.260 --> 02:29:10.590
WLWV Board Room: Is that Am I hearing that correctly, yes, so I wonder if it's possible if we included something about that line if we lift that from the first letter and we place it, and the second letter, it says something about.

1000
02:29:11.640 --> 02:29:21.690
What you just said, Director sloop that we want our local county health authorities to be the determinants of metrics but what I heard you say.

1001
02:29:28.320 --> 02:29:42.030
WLWV Board Room: it's still for me I hang up a little bit because we could have all kinds of counties in the state saying that their metrics are one thing and care I don't know how that saves yeah the portland metro area i'm wondering if if if we're hearing that.

1002
02:29:43.170 --> 02:29:59.820
WLWV Board Room: A few more moments tonight allows you to maybe come to a consensus and be able to pass this letter and not have it carry over would it be worthwhile to recess or five minutes allow director loop and director Wyatt to craft that sentence.

1003
02:30:01.020 --> 02:30:02.310
And then bring it back.

1004
02:30:04.560 --> 02:30:08.610
And then finish yeah I think that that's that's an option, yes.

1005
02:30:16.080 --> 02:30:30.990
WLWV Board Room: i'm pausing just to see if there's already clarity right now about what that phrase is and then bypass the need for a recess like that, if it's present in the room i'm comfortable with Dr ludwig's suggestion on paragraph.

1006
02:30:32.310 --> 02:30:40.710
WLWV Board Room: Paragraph five in the first sentence and adding inform local public health authorities to move us toward lifting coven mandates.

1007
02:30:41.820 --> 02:30:45.090
WLWV Board Room: Paragraph five on which version sorry on the second version okay.

1008
02:30:46.980 --> 02:30:59.070
WLWV Board Room: Do you repeat what that would be sure to ensure the continued success of our students, we ask that you develop clearly stated metrics to inform local public health authorities and move us toward lifting coven 19 mandates.

1009
02:31:00.510 --> 02:31:04.800
WLWV Board Room: That still asking the state, though, for metrics versus asking local.

1010
02:31:06.210 --> 02:31:06.960
county right.

1011
02:31:10.650 --> 02:31:18.420
Louis Taylor: I guess i'm missing something sorry our head of you guys my my brains are probably a little foggy or than yours.

1012
02:31:20.460 --> 02:31:35.730
Louis Taylor: Is what is the ultimate fear i'm missing, what is the fear of sending the letter in any way, shape or form, I mean the the the worst that the state can say is what know where we we don't hear your letter.

1013
02:31:36.840 --> 02:31:38.850
Louis Taylor: Or what is the fear.

1014
02:31:40.260 --> 02:31:50.940
WLWV Board Room: and speak to that I well, first of all i'm not afraid of sending a letter to the governor i'm more interested in making sure that we represent Westland Wilson ville school district accurately.

1015
02:31:51.270 --> 02:32:01.410
WLWV Board Room: And you know I do think that there are diverse perspectives on this issue and there, there are folks who have a different perspective than who were in this room speaking tonight.

1016
02:32:01.920 --> 02:32:05.700
WLWV Board Room: So that's one thing I want to make sure that we're representing ourselves well.

1017
02:32:06.150 --> 02:32:22.800
WLWV Board Room: The other thing is i'm not actually looking for sugar coating or catching more bees with honey that's not what i'm trying to do with this letter, but there is a certain way to write a letter to a governor that I think we need to capture in the voice and so.

1018
02:32:23.940 --> 02:32:36.240
WLWV Board Room: Before I vote yes on the letter that's going to be mailed to the governor and published in different places, I want it to have a certain look and voice to it and I don't think.

1019
02:32:36.690 --> 02:32:53.340
WLWV Board Room: The first letter hit that mark stylistically and it's not to criticize the letter I mean you know it's just that the second iteration of the letter hit that mark more closely, for example, it doesn't refer to you know the governor I.

1020
02:32:54.480 --> 02:32:55.500
became to the governor.

1021
02:32:57.030 --> 02:33:09.390
WLWV Board Room: So again, not trying to sugarcoat it i'm not afraid of it, I just want to make sure we're at you know accurately representing Westland Wilson, though, and that it has a certain professionalism to it and then it's really specific in the ass.

1022
02:33:09.900 --> 02:33:27.210
WLWV Board Room: And I have not bought into this idea of local control being the local county being the one who establishes the metric because we're a state and a whole state relies on sorry.

1023
02:33:27.780 --> 02:33:45.810
WLWV Board Room: The our hospital system, so I this local control thing is a little ambiguous to me about the effectiveness, whereas the second letter is clear about an ask for metrics also we're writing a letter that's not responding to new information that's another concern I have, though.

1024
02:33:55.140 --> 02:34:10.260
Is there a timeline in mind that you had hoped would be the receipt of the letter does does it feel as as urgent tonight, given what transpired today as maybe it had yesterday and.

1025
02:34:12.720 --> 02:34:25.440
Maybe it's okay that it takes time to incorporate what happened today in emphasizing the asked directors loop that you want the governor to go just a step further than what was relayed today.

1026
02:34:26.520 --> 02:34:30.900
that this was one step in that direction, but you feel there's more that can be added.

1027
02:34:31.920 --> 02:34:37.680
So if getting that ask exactly right beans as a few more days or.

1028
02:34:38.820 --> 02:34:48.900
I guess that's the question before the Board is that worth it to get that that right in the timeline of when you're hoping it would be received or the urgency in which you would hope it be received.

1029
02:34:55.620 --> 02:34:59.070
WLWV Board Room: And I can I mean we can.

1030
02:35:02.040 --> 02:35:03.510
WLWV Board Room: get a motion to.

1031
02:35:07.230 --> 02:35:13.920
WLWV Board Room: postpone it for our work session or the next board meeting and I can.

1032
02:35:16.650 --> 02:35:23.160
WLWV Board Room: update it again, but I am still wanting to create more of a.

1033
02:35:27.000 --> 02:35:36.030
WLWV Board Room: Public health policy for the county versus the statewide permanent maskell mandate is there.

1034
02:35:37.200 --> 02:35:45.990
WLWV Board Room: Just working a little bit with the spirit of could we get it done tonight before we do anything like recess or go, you know table for another meeting.

1035
02:35:46.410 --> 02:35:57.870
WLWV Board Room: Is there a phrase from your initial letter that hits the spot for what you're asking for that's missing from the second version that could be transferred over.

1036
02:36:00.270 --> 02:36:00.960
WLWV Board Room: um.

1037
02:36:02.490 --> 02:36:04.440
WLWV Board Room: Well, I think you know it's.

1038
02:36:13.290 --> 02:36:16.890
WLWV Board Room: It was the one the paragraph that I read that fourth paragraph down.

1039
02:36:18.690 --> 02:36:19.200
WLWV Board Room: mm hmm.

1040
02:36:24.480 --> 02:36:35.220
WLWV Board Room: The Westland Wilson middle school board recognizes its duty to uphold the rules and formally request and again we can wordsmith it so it's it reads more like the letter that director white wrote.

1041
02:36:37.290 --> 02:36:49.050
WLWV Board Room: governor Brown and Oregon health authority to restore local control to the local county public health authorities or provide metrics which was in the permanent mask role and transition control to local county public health authorities is that kind of the.

1042
02:36:50.100 --> 02:36:55.230
WLWV Board Room: i'm just i'm just posing that question Well, yes it's that and then it's also.

1043
02:36:56.970 --> 02:37:02.580
WLWV Board Room: as leaders of the western Wilson ville school district, we will advocate for a safe inclusive learning environment.

1044
02:37:03.390 --> 02:37:13.980
WLWV Board Room: offer support for health and safety protocols for our school, so we can serve our communities best specific needs a one size fits all approach to statewide mass mandate is no longer appropriate.

1045
02:37:14.790 --> 02:37:16.350
WLWV Board Room: And an off ramp or metrics for.

1046
02:37:16.350 --> 02:37:25.740
WLWV Board Room: Permanent mass must be considered the advent of the availability and use of rapid antigen co vitesse increasing kept coven vaccinations for ages five and up.

1047
02:37:26.310 --> 02:37:42.390
WLWV Board Room: improve therapies and early intervention treatments sisters and my viral targeted steroids monoclonal antibody therapy and other treatments of all serve to lower the individual risk of coded and then go on to the vaccination rate and then reduce CDC guidelines.

1048
02:37:44.490 --> 02:37:45.000
WLWV Board Room: Oh it's.

1049
02:37:46.350 --> 02:37:49.170
WLWV Board Room: Probably those and that's more of like.

1050
02:37:51.180 --> 02:37:54.150
WLWV Board Room: Just with my research and healthcare.

1051
02:37:55.830 --> 02:37:56.430
WLWV Board Room: background.

1052
02:37:58.140 --> 02:37:59.370
that's what that's what.

1053
02:38:01.050 --> 02:38:02.790
WLWV Board Room: The ports, why i'm saying.

1054
02:38:04.620 --> 02:38:07.890
WLWV Board Room: local public county health and why the one size fits all.

1055
02:38:09.690 --> 02:38:10.440
Louis Taylor: doesn't work.

1056
02:38:11.010 --> 02:38:19.830
WLWV Board Room: As we transition from pandemic to endemic because it's going to be like the flu, eventually, and you know.

1057
02:38:22.290 --> 02:38:22.710
WLWV Board Room: it's.

1058
02:38:25.980 --> 02:38:29.370
WLWV Board Room: We have to transition at one point and not.

1059
02:38:32.100 --> 02:38:36.600
WLWV Board Room: continue to have the kids be responsible.

1060
02:38:41.790 --> 02:38:42.870
WLWV Board Room: there's just so many.

1061
02:38:46.320 --> 02:38:46.590
there's.

1062
02:38:48.960 --> 02:38:57.900
WLWV Board Room: there's other issues that we are missing as we're focusing on Kobe and that's their mental health or social development.

1063
02:38:58.530 --> 02:39:10.230
WLWV Board Room: There you know the children with disabilities are suffering, we have children who have you know English as a second language, we have speech development delays, we have.

1064
02:39:11.520 --> 02:39:15.300
WLWV Board Room: Second graders that can't read because they're having a hard time since kindergarten.

1065
02:39:17.040 --> 02:39:25.170
mean how the words are pronounced and enunciated by just fill that is why I want more of a local control.

1066
02:39:26.460 --> 02:39:26.940
With Kobe.

1067
02:39:33.750 --> 02:39:44.610
And I like that that you brought that up as a potential bridge between the letters and I think what's what i'm hung up on is the the capitalized or.

1068
02:39:46.830 --> 02:39:48.420
WLWV Board Room: which I think just makes that.

1069
02:39:50.070 --> 02:40:00.420
WLWV Board Room: I mean it just it seems too vague and it also doesn't seem to reflect what we know now is true with the announcement that came out today and so.

1070
02:40:01.530 --> 02:40:13.650
WLWV Board Room: Perhaps a reworking of that paragraph to reflect, you know the the reality that county public health offices are now charged with this.

1071
02:40:15.300 --> 02:40:24.840
WLWV Board Room: would be helpful, and then I think instead of saying, or we then stick to the concept of metrics you know, using data to drive decision making.

1072
02:40:27.210 --> 02:40:30.330
WLWV Board Room: And I think that requires a little bit more word smithing to.

1073
02:40:31.650 --> 02:40:43.770
WLWV Board Room: happen capture you know and reflect what is, you know now happening because of today's announcement, but then still saying going forward we don't want to have this.

1074
02:40:45.960 --> 02:40:56.970
WLWV Board Room: ambiguity as it relates to what are the metrics we hit when we make decision, so I don't know if that is a is a workaround but maybe that's an approach, we could take to strike that balance.

1075
02:40:58.680 --> 02:40:59.340
If we.

1076
02:41:01.170 --> 02:41:09.180
WLWV Board Room: In that paragraph that to restore control to local county public health authorities to provide instead of or provide.

1077
02:41:10.860 --> 02:41:15.540
WLWV Board Room: Like the control to local public health authorities is.

1078
02:41:17.310 --> 02:41:28.920
WLWV Board Room: Is in here today, and so that's why I feel I definitely don't want us to seem like we haven't read the paper before we send the letter and so.

1079
02:41:29.940 --> 02:41:39.630
WLWV Board Room: And all of this was crafted you know both versions, with the letter were crafted before we had this information and so that's where I wonder if reflecting current events.

1080
02:41:40.890 --> 02:41:44.700
WLWV Board Room: And then tagging it along with our interest in data.

1081
02:41:46.770 --> 02:41:48.840
WLWV Board Room: could potentially be a way to marry the letters.

1082
02:41:56.370 --> 02:41:56.970
alright.

1083
02:42:01.500 --> 02:42:13.350
we've had a thorough discussion we've we've looked at two letters that were drafted prior to information we look at the information we talked about the merits of both letters there's merits to both.

1084
02:42:15.630 --> 02:42:26.340
WLWV Board Room: there's clearly interest in everybody on the board and moving forward with some sort of statement, I think that that that's been really clear to me that box want box on the board want to know.

1085
02:42:27.480 --> 02:42:28.980
What what the finish line is.

1086
02:42:36.300 --> 02:42:37.500
yeah yeah.

1087
02:42:39.240 --> 02:42:40.800
So we can.

1088
02:42:42.060 --> 02:42:56.670
make this a first read and ask that who volunteers work on crafting something that potentially could get unanimous approval from the board that's responsive to the announcement that came up today.

1089
02:42:57.720 --> 02:42:58.470
and

1090
02:42:59.640 --> 02:43:01.680
We could recess and do that now.

1091
02:43:03.270 --> 02:43:05.760
I get mindful just of time and energy yeah.

1092
02:43:07.500 --> 02:43:08.580
WLWV Board Room: i'm willing to.

1093
02:43:10.380 --> 02:43:12.690
Work with Kirsten and you know.

1094
02:43:13.860 --> 02:43:27.420
WLWV Board Room: Go with what Dr Ludwig gave in her superintendent report about the you know local control the clackamas county or the county guidelines and wordsmith the two and merge them together.

1095
02:43:30.060 --> 02:43:30.780
If we can.

1096
02:43:36.180 --> 02:43:39.180
The way it sounds like we have an offer.

1097
02:43:40.260 --> 02:43:42.780
to collaborate on a letter.

1098
02:43:44.970 --> 02:43:46.290
That i'm seeing a non.

1099
02:43:48.150 --> 02:43:51.540
I would, that would be that would be fine with me okay.

1100
02:43:53.760 --> 02:44:06.900
WLWV Board Room: All right, so I think short of somebody making emotion right now on one of these letters which is still before us the other option would be to make this a first read and then have the two of you collaborate, something that that you think.

1101
02:44:07.680 --> 02:44:17.460
WLWV Board Room: efficiently merges these two response to new information, and I would hold the gold standard or something that potentially could get a unanimous approval from the board.

1102
02:44:19.290 --> 02:44:21.480
Because I think that carries a lot more weight than a split vote.

1103
02:44:24.450 --> 02:44:25.380
If at all possible.

1104
02:44:28.320 --> 02:44:35.550
I don't feel I need to do a first read if, and I think director sleep, and I could get something back before our next meeting.

1105
02:44:36.810 --> 02:44:44.910
WLWV Board Room: If only if the first rate is going to confuse things more if there's a version, and then it changes substantially, I guess, I think that this i'm considering this as our first read.

1106
02:44:46.020 --> 02:44:47.490
Are we saying the same thing or different things.

1107
02:44:48.870 --> 02:45:01.770
WLWV Board Room: I am not ready, I wouldn't be ready to vote on either is that what you're asking us to do no oh sorry yeah i'm thinking unless we're voting on one of these letters then we're, this is a kind of a first read of.

1108
02:45:03.390 --> 02:45:09.330

1148
02:50:05.790 --> 02:50:22.530
WLWV Board Room: And we know that we're in the middle of a public health crisis in terms of opioid use and overdoses, and so this policy update allows us, it just makes one addition to our current medication policy that allows districts.

1149
02:50:23.550 --> 02:50:30.930
To have non naloxone or other similar medication available for safe administration.

1150
02:50:32.550 --> 02:50:39.120
And to be administered by train designated personnel in the event of that type of an emergency so.

1151
02:50:40.140 --> 02:50:54.840
This station was passed in 2019 that allows schools to do this in a way that is limited liability and just really focuses on the health when someone's in a life threatening situation.

1152
02:51:01.050 --> 02:51:02.520

WLWV Board Room: and fake drugs made to look like it's legitimate prescription drugs with decriminalization of.

02:52:44.220 --> 02:52:54.090
WLWV Board Room: all it takes is one pill, and it can kill anybody and with naloxone is available and the nasal spray.

1169
02:52:55.500 --> 02:53:03.870
WLWV Board Room: The county is willing to give wrestling Wilson bill six doses free and with training it's about like a two minute video and.

1170
02:53:05.250 --> 02:53:14.640
WLWV Board Room: If it's given to a student, that is not actually it have unconscious due to an overdose does not harm them at all.

1171
02:53:15.720 --> 02:53:24.660
WLWV Board Room: It only is effective and somebody that is in an overdose respiratory depression and it is effective.

1172
02:53:26.340 --> 02:53:30.930
WLWV Board Room: In seconds count, if you have to call 911 and an ambulance.

1173
02:53:32.490 --> 02:53:34.140
It could literally be too late.

1174
02:53:35.820 --> 02:53:36.720
Louis Taylor: So i'm.

1175
02:53:36.750 --> 02:53:49.710
WLWV Board Room: very excited I know some other schools are getting it in in their schools as policies and I really hope that the Board is supportive of this for our schools.

1176
02:53:53.700 --> 02:54:01.980
All right, thank you, we have a motion and a second we've had a little bit of discussion, are there any further comments or questions all right, Miss Douglas we please follow up.

1177
02:54:09.600 --> 02:54:09.930
WLWV Board Room: hi.

1178
02:54:20.970 --> 02:54:22.080
Louis Taylor: Thank you so much.

1179
02:54:22.440 --> 02:54:34.620
WLWV Board Room: For that, I think that much like our ad and our stuff epinephrine that we have for other medical emergencies when seconds count that will be.

1180
02:54:36.330 --> 02:54:41.940
Our first priority is the safety of our students, so thank you for empowering our staff with that.

1181
02:54:44.400 --> 02:55:03.840
WLWV Board Room: Our next policy that we're bringing forward is an update to I K F, which is graduation requirements in the memo I sent forward I outlined a couple of different legislative pieces that have brought forward needs to update our graduation requirements house bill.

1182
02:55:05.040 --> 02:55:16.560
WLWV Board Room: That changes on just clarifies the the title of the core content at the high school level of English language arts to language arts think there's a couple reasons behind that one being that.

1183
02:55:18.450 --> 02:55:31.290
WLWV Board Room: remove any confusion around English language development classes that sort of thing and also clarification and acknowledgement that when kids are enrolled in a dual language program they're still working on.

1184
02:55:33.390 --> 02:55:44.940
WLWV Board Room: text writing analysis comparison all that sorts all those content, but they may be working on those in a different language if they're, for example, an old energy language Program.

1185
02:55:45.810 --> 02:55:58.890
WLWV Board Room: And we also senate bill 744 was the legislation that Oregon suspended the current graduation requirement of.

1186
02:56:00.660 --> 02:56:13.980
WLWV Board Room: Just demonstrating proficiency on basic skills, through the assessment system that has been in place for several years and that bill specifically.

1187
02:56:14.520 --> 02:56:25.530
WLWV Board Room: has put that on pause while the state is doing some examining of the testing instruments and making some additional decisions about whether those are the best way to assess that.

1188
02:56:26.220 --> 02:56:35.490
WLWV Board Room: We understand that that's what the state's doing at the same time it's incredibly important to us that we maintain high standards for our diplomas.

1189
02:56:36.300 --> 02:56:47.460
WLWV Board Room: basic skills and we have, and always have had that opportunity to do that through coursework with students and our teachers are some of the best at assessing students.

1190
02:56:48.420 --> 02:57:00.270
WLWV Board Room: To be really efficient in their reading, writing the mathematics, and so we will continue to expect all students to meet those standards.

1191
02:57:01.050 --> 02:57:14.880
WLWV Board Room: it's just that the term proficiency for the assessment is the part that that legislation doesn't allow us to do use those same terms, but we can continue to require that students meet those standards through our coursework.

1192
02:57:16.830 --> 02:57:20.520
And finally, there was some legislation passed house bill.

1193
02:57:21.930 --> 02:57:25.230
That explicitly allow students to wear.

1194
02:57:27.180 --> 02:57:46.020
WLWV Board Room: items of cultural significance to school events, including native American students may want to wear regalia to a school graduation, so we have included language that allows for that in our graduation policies there's a few other grammatical.

1195
02:57:47.490 --> 02:57:55.590
WLWV Board Room: updates and the addition of a civics course and few other graduation requirements that have come forward so i'm open, if you have a question.

1196
02:58:02.130 --> 02:58:09.570
WLWV Board Room: Can you repeat that were the state legislature, said that it's not required, but we can still.

1197
02:58:12.510 --> 02:58:15.270
say that they have to follow the proficiency.

1198
02:58:16.740 --> 02:58:19.650
Thank you um the requirements.

1199
02:58:20.970 --> 02:58:25.260
WLWV Board Room: Before that has been suspended was meeting proficiency by.

1200
02:58:26.310 --> 02:58:29.730
WLWV Board Room: Having meeting that through a standardized assessments which.

1201
02:58:30.750 --> 02:58:46.080
WLWV Board Room: What that the legislation says, we need to suspend that standardized assessment, the news to meet that proficiency, so we are going to comply with that, however, we are going to continue to.

1202
02:58:47.280 --> 02:59:02.190
WLWV Board Room: expect that students show high levels of proficiency in reading, writing mathematics, through their coursework and the assessments that we are doing in our courses in high school okay.

1203
02:59:05.070 --> 02:59:07.830
WLWV Board Room: You want to motion, and then I have, I do have a couple of questions.

1204
02:59:09.540 --> 02:59:10.590
WLWV Board Room: To ask my questions are.

1205
02:59:12.330 --> 02:59:13.350
WLWV Board Room: already involved okay.

1206
02:59:14.550 --> 02:59:23.970
WLWV Board Room: yeah and I, so I two questions when I looked up senate bill 744 and it talked about suspending the especial learning skills requirement for.

1207
02:59:24.510 --> 02:59:35.820
WLWV Board Room: One of the school years of 2021 22 and 2022 23 So if you could just touch on why just those two years and maybe you did, maybe it's because they're trying to figure out.

1208
02:59:36.420 --> 02:59:49.500
WLWV Board Room: You know how to how to reassess and That was my first question and then the second question, and maybe this is what director sloop just asked, but maybe I just need more clarification, so I apologize if i'm asking the same thing, but a different way.

1209
02:59:50.640 --> 02:59:58.620
WLWV Board Room: So that I understand it, in my mind i'm at the bottom of page 147 in our fourth book.

1210
02:59:59.700 --> 03:00:03.690
WLWV Board Room: Under that number one and what can you just tell me.

1211
03:00:04.770 --> 03:00:12.600
WLWV Board Room: What is the exact difference between demonstrate proficiency in essential skills of reading, writing and math and.

1212
03:00:13.170 --> 03:00:23.550
WLWV Board Room: meet the standards in reading and writing and math so like examples of how that's different Thank you and to your first question.

1213
03:00:24.540 --> 03:00:35.670
WLWV Board Room: Why, it was just listed in that house bill for a couple of years, it is my understanding that it was listed as a couple of years to give time for some additional research.

1214
03:00:36.090 --> 03:00:43.260
WLWV Board Room: about what assessments had been selected to meet those proficiency requirements and were those the best tools.

1215
03:00:43.830 --> 03:00:48.120
WLWV Board Room: And would the state want to make some adjustments to that assessment system.

1216
03:00:48.870 --> 03:01:04.020
WLWV Board Room: So that's what I think it was given for just a period of time and not saying they want to give that up necessarily forever, but for this period of time districts were not allowed to require those specific words proficiency on those essential skills.

1217
03:01:05.100 --> 03:01:15.480
WLWV Board Room: So we we heard that and we understand that sometimes it's good to take a pause almost like the discussion about the auditors earlier.

1218
03:01:15.930 --> 03:01:27.120
WLWV Board Room: There came a point where it's like would bring some fresh eyes, look at that the board different audit or maybe our state is going to look at that, in terms of some state assessments that meet those proficiency requirements.

1219
03:01:28.320 --> 03:01:38.340
WLWV Board Room: However, there have always been, and when that proficiency requirement was in place students could meet that through passing say.

1220
03:01:38.790 --> 03:01:50.070
WLWV Board Room: The Oregon state assessments, they could also meet that proficiency through other things like psat a CT they also could made it through coursework when.

1221
03:01:51.000 --> 03:01:59.040
WLWV Board Room: Teachers had very clear standards about this is this high school level of rigor and students can meet that efficiency through coursework.

1222
03:01:59.430 --> 03:02:08.100
WLWV Board Room: We all know, some students who sometimes struggle with a standardized assessment, for various reasons, and we recognize that we didn't want that to be.

1223
03:02:08.760 --> 03:02:17.610
WLWV Board Room: The thing that held them back from high school graduation, and so we would be able to assess their way that they could have met that proficiency.

1224
03:02:18.060 --> 03:02:27.690
WLWV Board Room: for meeting the standards in their coursework with some very specific assessment process practices so essentially that's what we're holding on to right now.

1225
03:02:28.410 --> 03:02:37.590
WLWV Board Room: The state has said old on the standardized assessments for graduation we're still giving standardized assessment that we can't require a certain score.

1226
03:02:37.980 --> 03:02:50.580
WLWV Board Room: For graduation, but we can still do what we've always have as part of that high of looking at showing proficiency which is meeting the standards through more locally formed assessments and course.

1227
03:02:56.250 --> 03:03:02.700
WLWV Board Room: If I understand that correctly, it sounds like we actually have a fair amount of local control and how we're measuring.

1228
03:03:03.180 --> 03:03:11.670
WLWV Board Room: Whether or not they're meeting the standards based on this policy things and we don't have to do a State standardized tests demonstrate, something we could utilize.

1229
03:03:12.510 --> 03:03:29.760
WLWV Board Room: The measurements that we use in our district, yes, and I think it's just really important for our community to know and here that we expect students to be able to meet those standards to earn a high school diploma and less than most, and so that's what we want to make very clear.

1230
03:03:35.520 --> 03:03:40.350
Okay let's get a motion and then further discussion do that.

1231
03:03:44.370 --> 03:03:46.650
WLWV Board Room: i'll move that we adopt.

1232
03:03:47.670 --> 03:03:55.200
The updated policy, I came up with the pertaining to graduation requirements as amended.

1233
03:03:59.700 --> 03:04:00.210
Louis Taylor: Second.

1234
03:04:01.320 --> 03:04:06.990
Okay here king is emotion director Taylor has a second there further discussion.

1235
03:04:13.590 --> 03:04:15.000
Louis Taylor: Okay, it looks like we can call the vote.

1236
03:04:20.850 --> 03:04:21.240
Louis Taylor: hi.

1237
03:04:22.530 --> 03:04:22.890

Good comments director came, please, I think this this updated policy does a number of things that we're just really pleased about.

1241
03:04:38.700 --> 03:04:58.740
In terms of meeting the criteria of what we're hoping for for our our high school students, but I also appreciate the broadening understanding of of a graduation ceremonies that it's a ceremony it's not intended to be a barrier or a gotcha.

1242
03:04:59.820 --> 03:05:21.720
WLWV Board Room: it's it's a ceremony that recognizes and so any student who is in the process of it has an is receiving any form of diplomacy it's to be a part of that ceremony that wasn't always the practice in the past, and there was a sensitive you didn't finish exactly the day of.

1243
03:05:22.890 --> 03:05:42.690
WLWV Board Room: You know, it was too late, this gives allowance for students who may be still are working on that completion, the next week, it gives opportunity for students getting a ged modified diploma so the whole class the senior class gets to celebrate.

1244
03:05:43.860 --> 03:05:57.420
WLWV Board Room: The years they've been together this milestone, and so as we've talked we've really appreciated, a number of things this this update policy does but, in particular, I think we have to broaden our understanding of what it means when a student.

1245
03:05:58.530 --> 03:06:07.650
completes high school and celebrates their success in a very public ceremonies so appreciate that updated language and the policy as well.

1246
03:06:11.910 --> 03:06:23.670
WLWV Board Room: Okay, all right, well, shall we move on to the next one let's do it alright, so we next have policy I GB ha around alternative education.

1247
03:06:24.420 --> 03:06:46.470
WLWV Board Room: And this is a very small change in wording and really the two components in those sporting changes, one is that we are ensuring as a district if we ever place a student into an alternative education program outside of our district, that we are making sure that.

1248
03:06:47.850 --> 03:07:05.370
WLWV Board Room: That contract meets all the requirements of the law i'm, including the all the protections that would be there for students and access to appropriate education for students, the other part, is a change that is around consult consultation with parents or guardians.

1249
03:07:07.230 --> 03:07:16.470
And that's a shift from upon parent requests in the old policy and the situation where that may hurt certainly can continue to request.

1250
03:07:17.340 --> 03:07:28.380
But there may be situations, perhaps, and again, these are very rare and our district, but in a very extreme disciplinary situation, maybe that involved an expulsion.

1251
03:07:29.340 --> 03:07:39.120
Where you might have an obligation to bring forward an alternative educational setting for that student that might not come directly from the parents for class.

1252
03:07:48.630 --> 03:07:51.630
All right, we start with emotion, this time.

1253
03:07:53.250 --> 03:07:54.930
WLWV Board Room: I will motion that we approve.

1254
03:07:55.950 --> 03:08:00.630
WLWV Board Room: And policy I G B ha with the given edits.

1255
03:08:02.160 --> 03:08:06.240
Okay sure Thompson has motion i'll second that.

1256
03:08:08.430 --> 03:08:10.290
And Mr discretion.

1257
03:08:14.550 --> 03:08:29.520
director King I forgot to mention that all of these policies have been reviewed by our legal counsel and are are based on suggestions from SBA and if we made any changes to those suggestions we really carefully vetted those with our legal counsel.

1258
03:08:34.530 --> 03:08:38.280
I don't i'm not hearing or seeing any questions, so I can hold a vote.

1259
03:08:41.460 --> 03:08:43.020
Louis Taylor: I le.

1260
03:08:43.620 --> 03:08:44.070
I.

1261
03:08:45.180 --> 03:08:45.510

1262
03:08:47.790 --> 03:08:48.720
WLWV Board Room: write I.

1263
03:08:53.820 --> 03:09:01.770
WLWV Board Room: write well, I want to compliment the board on two things one, I want to compliment you on your resilience tonight, he fell on your cell one more.

1264
03:09:02.190 --> 03:09:09.480
WLWV Board Room: Also, I just wanted to compliment you on that beautiful letter that you all crafted and endorsed first off it was really touched my heart, thank you.

1265
03:09:10.770 --> 03:09:13.320
WLWV Board Room: Our last one is policy J FC.

1266
03:09:14.370 --> 03:09:18.300
WLWV Board Room: And again i'm this involves some.

1267
03:09:19.350 --> 03:09:28.650
WLWV Board Room: addition edition that comes from legislation and that updates and basically a prohibition and a protection, so the.

1268
03:09:29.490 --> 03:09:42.570
WLWV Board Room: Prohibition that students are prohibited from making knowingly all statements or knowingly submitting false information as part of a complaint or a report or associated with an investigation into misconduct.

1269
03:09:43.200 --> 03:09:55.560
WLWV Board Room: And then there's also a reminder that the district is prohibited from retaliating against any students that have made a report in good faith that turns out to be.

1270
03:09:56.220 --> 03:10:08.460
WLWV Board Room: So it's a lot about making sure that we're all doing our best to bring forward information with integrity and that we're supporting students when they have gotten their best to do so.

1271
03:10:16.680 --> 03:10:20.220
WLWV Board Room: Alright, if she's going for their microphones think we're about to have a motion.

1272
03:10:24.750 --> 03:10:32.550
WLWV Board Room: Okay, all move that we approve all see Jay Z on student conduct as amended here.

1273
03:10:35.160 --> 03:10:39.060
Right motion and a second there so.

1274
03:10:47.310 --> 03:10:52.350
i'm not seeing any this one looks like yeah that's a good idea i'm that in there.

1275
03:10:54.420 --> 03:10:56.910
Oh there's no further discussion, we can call about.

1276
03:10:58.740 --> 03:10:59.160

1283
03:11:21.720 --> 03:11:35.670
WLWV Board Room: yeah that would more quickly than I thought it would i'm very good, so we have moved through all of our business on the agenda and our next meeting will be our work session on February 28 and start at 5pm is there anything else, before we adjourn the meeting.
