WLWV Board Room: And then before JESSICA arrives, I just want to say that she fills the role as the association President, which is on a voluntary basis with oca.

114
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:53.100
WLWV Board Room: So, not only does she work a full time job she also then supports all of our classified staff.

121
00:19:46.950 --> 00:19:52.560
WLWV Board Room: about our social workers, you know when I think about five six years ago we had one in the district.

122
00:19:53.010 --> 00:20:02.730
WLWV Board Room: And cheryl was assigned actually to one school she served multiple roles and wasn't exclusively a social worker and increasingly we've just learned that.

123
00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:12.810
WLWV Board Room: There is a distinction between the role that a counselor has that a teacher fills in that a social worker fields and that all three together.

124
00:20:13.650 --> 00:20:17.100
WLWV Board Room: really become then that kind of wraparound support guiding.

125
00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:28.350
WLWV Board Room: A student of family around what options, there are resources and support, so the fact that we now have grown from one to four is just an indication of the support of this board.

126
00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:37.650
WLWV Board Room: in recognizing the need for those roles in our schools finding great social workers out in the field that have really complemented.

127
00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:44.970
WLWV Board Room: The work of our counselors and supported our administrators and we're really seeing the benefit tenfold.

128
00:20:45.510 --> 00:20:50.880
WLWV Board Room: And this year, we were pleased that we could have a full time social worker at each of our large high schools.

129
00:20:51.240 --> 00:21:06.690
WLWV Board Room: And then, Brittany serves across our middle schools and Sarah across our primary schools, so it has been a really wonderful team, so I just wanted to just add that piece on and Jessica is here come on up JESSICA we've been talking about you.

130
00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:22.560
WLWV Board Room: would like the record to show that I was in the webinar version and then Charlotte texted me and she's like are you going to be at the meeting i'm like i'm at the meeting she's like no I mean here, I can come.

131
00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:34.860
WLWV Board Room: So thank you for all that you do for our staff we appreciate you and would you like to see I would I would I did prepare some things and.

132
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:45.000
WLWV Board Room: This you know, not every school district, not every school celebrates I know a separate classified appreciation week from a teacher teacher appreciation week.

133
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:55.110
WLWV Board Room: They do you know right they sometimes do a combined staff appreciation week and I like some things about that that kind of elevates everybody's role kind of up to that role of staff.

134
00:21:55.800 --> 00:22:03.600
WLWV Board Room: But one of the things I really appreciate about a separate classified week from a separate teacher week is that a lot of classified work that we do is invisible.

135
00:22:04.170 --> 00:22:12.690
WLWV Board Room: until something goes wrong, and then it's front and Center but generally it's invisible and when you have that separate week it's an opportunity to really highlight a lot of the things that.

136
00:22:13.020 --> 00:22:27.150
WLWV Board Room: That shiloh listed, you know the plumbing when the plumbing doesn't work it's a problem when the air conditioning isn't working when there's a fire and we can close the windows automatically all of that stuff it's invisible, most of the time and I love this opportunity to spotlight.

137
00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:34.740
WLWV Board Room: we've all every classified employee has had an opportunity to work under a supervisor or administrator who doesn't seem to.

138
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:43.410
WLWV Board Room: see that invisible work or to value that invisible work and, even though we know how integral we are to the infrastructure into the everyday operations.

139
00:22:43.770 --> 00:22:53.310
WLWV Board Room: That can that can be a hit and not every not Every teacher, not every classified staff member seems to recognize that invisible work from day to day, and we can take a hit.

140
00:22:53.790 --> 00:23:11.820
WLWV Board Room: And so I really appreciate, and I am very thankful that you as a school board take this week and you spotlight us and you do you spotlight that invisible work because it matters that recognition just saying thank you and really meaning it that matters and so thank you.

164

WLWV Board Room: think most of what i'm going to say has already been said, either by our high school students or by yourself based your Thompson so for the next slide.

165
00:26:54.750 --> 00:27:04.560
WLWV Board Room: It has been a really busy last few weeks since we met as a board a lot of activities, especially at our high schools, whether they were athletics or dance competitions.

166
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:13.710
WLWV Board Room: I also wanted to point out that we had our basketball Unified Sports tournament and very well attended, and this is where.

167
00:27:14.430 --> 00:27:27.870
WLWV Board Room: Students at both of our high schools and students with disability without disability coed they create teams and play against each other and with other districts, and so it becomes its own unique tournament.

168
00:27:28.410 --> 00:27:35.250
WLWV Board Room: And really embodies what we mean by inclusive and collaborative spirit and a whole lot of fun.

169
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:53.220
WLWV Board Room: So that was also a highlight, as they rounded off that season of basketball and then as Miguel mentioned, and as avery mentioned, we had our theater productions which were very well attended and so well performed by our students and the next slide.

170
00:27:54.780 --> 00:28:02.970
WLWV Board Room: We also heard about the science fairs and want to make sure that you know that we had to we had both the high school level and middle school level, and it was great to see students.

172
00:28:12.570 --> 00:28:23.550
WLWV Board Room: That they're finding time to do these inquiries, we had over 160 students at the high school level many who went on to regional and will represent our school district at nationals.

173
00:28:24.060 --> 00:28:34.080
WLWV Board Room: And then we were also able to bring back the middle school science fairs little smaller than normal, but I think just given, where we are coming back in person schooling.

174
00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:44.400
WLWV Board Room: We wanted to make sure we held it and that we could continue in that tradition, and so we had a great number of students attending and we know that will continue to to grow again.

175
00:28:46.110 --> 00:28:47.100
WLWV Board Room: The next slide.

176
00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:58.560
WLWV Board Room: Miguel mentioned the robotics tournament again, thank you to Wilson bow high school for hosting you have in front of you, I just brought back for each of you this little tri fold that.

177

WLWV Board Room: If you open it up, you can see kind of what the pit look like where the robots compete if you haven't been to robotics tournament like the willamette string rhythms you need to put it on your calendar, it is impressive to.

178
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:23.550
WLWV Board Room: see these robots compete but also work collaboratively together in robotic teams all directed by their students.

179
00:29:24.630 --> 00:29:33.990
WLWV Board Room: Wilson bill was in this tournament West Lynn they they made the tournament a little smaller this year with Cobra they weren't sure they didn't want to have as many spectators, so they broke up some of the schools.

180
00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:43.080
WLWV Board Room: into a few more tournaments and Westland was in the Oregon city tournament but they'll they'll both be back together and Salem at the tournament down there.

181
00:29:43.860 --> 00:29:52.110
WLWV Board Room: But this was special because it was getting hosted at Wilson bill and amazing to see the gymnasium transformed into this tournament pit.

182
00:29:53.220 --> 00:30:10.650

WLWV Board Room: timeline chart That just shows, one of our renewal processes that is in place for our health and sexuality education renewal process and that we need to.

185
00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:49.590
WLWV Board Room: renew our comprehensive sexuality education plan, this was a legislative component that every two years, this plan needs to be updated so we're coming back to it this year.

186
00:30:50.130 --> 00:31:02.040
WLWV Board Room: to update that plan, we do have staff and parents involved at the task force level, so there is a representative group that is working on this renewal process.

187
00:31:02.430 --> 00:31:16.230
WLWV Board Room: And they have already begun to meet, I want to thank Dr swanson and Dr Spencer items who work with this task force group of parents and teachers on the renewal, there will be a Community meeting.

188
00:31:17.370 --> 00:31:27.180
WLWV Board Room: In the middle of April, and this will be an opportunity to share the draft of the plan and show materials and get feedback than the task force will meet again.

189
00:31:28.290 --> 00:31:39.480
WLWV Board Room: To respond to what they heard the Community meeting and there'll be a presentation to you as a board in May for you to approve of that education plan.

190
00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:50.070
WLWV Board Room: Also, just to let you know amongst everything else, we continue to stay committed to safety for safe and welcoming schools.

191
00:31:50.610 --> 00:32:00.420
WLWV Board Room: And you many of you know that we meet quarterly with our joint Western will Cisco partner safety meeting with our local first responders and other safety partners.

192
00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:09.630
WLWV Board Room: We have our next meeting, the end of March, but what I want you to know is we've also planned for this is the first time we've ever done this as a school district.

193
00:32:10.260 --> 00:32:25.290
WLWV Board Room: A reunification simulation so if there was a school that had to evacuate their site and move everybody to a secure location for students to be reunited with their parents at another location.

194
00:32:26.370 --> 00:32:39.420
WLWV Board Room: that's quite an endeavor to plan for that and to organize for that and we've been preparing for that type of event for several years we've walked through it we've done the theory behind it we've made maps.

195
00:32:40.290 --> 00:32:47.160
WLWV Board Room: we've secured our site locations, but we've never actually run through a practice before and we're going to be doing that this month.

196
00:32:48.030 --> 00:32:57.960
WLWV Board Room: And so that's coming up we're going to go to our site location walk through it we have asked some people to observe from the clackamas St safety.

197
00:32:58.380 --> 00:33:08.730
WLWV Board Room: department to give us feedback on how that went so that we can make any improvements, this is one of those things where you want to be prepared for something you hope you never need.

198
00:33:09.450 --> 00:33:16.650
WLWV Board Room: And, but at least be prepared, so we have that planned and we'll give you some feedback on how that went afterwards.

199
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:28.680
WLWV Board Room: And then to put in your calendars on April 30 that's actually a Saturday we are having the 20th anniversary of CREST celebration on site at CREST it'll be kind of like an open house.

200
00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:46.980
WLWV Board Room: Come anytime during that timeline will send out flyers with the date and the times and hopefully this wonderful weather and people can come and enjoy some festivities at CREST while we celebrate our 20th anniversary of having that program in our district.

201
00:33:49.320 --> 00:34:01.350
WLWV Board Room: And then Lastly, in terms of some events that were queuing up for you've heard all year how we have contracted with Joe feldman around grading for equity in our secondary schools, particularly he's working with our high school teachers.

202
00:34:02.370 --> 00:34:11.070
WLWV Board Room: In that contract we've asked him to do a session for parents around what is equitable grading and the work that our teachers are doing.

203
00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:23.460
WLWV Board Room: And so we do want to highlight that that is coming up tomorrow evening we've been sending out messages in our secondary listserv high school and middle school, we sent another one today.

204
00:34:24.060 --> 00:34:35.430
WLWV Board Room: It is both in person or zoom whatever is convenient for families in person will be in this room jennifer's nodding zoom, of course, is just click on the link and you can.

205
00:34:36.510 --> 00:34:47.580
WLWV Board Room: enjoy hearing Joe and as well as some teachers sharing how they've seen a change in their practices and their grading practices by being part of these work sessions.

206
00:34:51.960 --> 00:35:07.530
WLWV Board Room: That going to be recorded, so that if parents aren't able to attend or watch it live, they can go back and see it so, unfortunately, we cannot record it, and that is based on Mr feldman and his licensing so it's not something that we can record.

207
00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:26.310
WLWV Board Room: And next slide I just thought i'd give you a few legislative highlights, of course, as a school board you're tasked with not only following the work of the district, but but seeing what's going on in terms of the legislative landscape.

208
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:41.880
WLWV Board Room: This is just a list of some of the major investments that the legislative session did approve of in their short session this year, so they got a lot accomplished, and you can see quite a bit of funding.

209
00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:49.320
WLWV Board Room: That has been designated to various projects around Oregon i've circled that second bullet, because that has to do with.

210
00:35:50.190 --> 00:36:03.480
WLWV Board Room: Our schools and i'll talk a little bit about that 300 million that's been earmarked for those three areas I won't touch on the wildfire impact because that actually didn't impact our district.

211
00:36:03.990 --> 00:36:14.850
WLWV Board Room: We don't qualify for that grant but the other two up their summer learning in K 12 workforce, I thought i'd give you a little bit information about that those two so next slide.

212
00:36:16.470 --> 00:36:24.270
WLWV Board Room: In that allotment around workforce budget, you can see 100 million is set aside for that.

213
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:35.730
WLWV Board Room: The large majority 78.1 goes to school districts in the form of grants, these are not competitive grants, so we each qualify as long as we fill out an application.

214
00:36:36.330 --> 00:36:51.420
WLWV Board Room: We don't know yet some of the criteria for the grant in terms of the funding methodology or some of the constraints or qualifiers those details will be coming, but the idea is for these funds to be.

215
00:36:52.650 --> 00:37:05.040
WLWV Board Room: delic designated for recruitment retain meant of personnel and those kinds of staffing needs that we've all experienced because of some of the shortfalls that have occurred code related.

216
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:17.700
WLWV Board Room: You can see also some money than designated for additional costs that districts have experienced around training for substitute teachers and supplemental staff that we've needed in the last few years.

217
00:37:19.260 --> 00:37:28.110
WLWV Board Room: And then, then some money set aside for O D and tsp see which is our licensing Commission as they continue to develop.

218
00:37:29.490 --> 00:37:33.060
WLWV Board Room: educators in the workforce so putting some more money towards that.

219
00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.900
WLWV Board Room: The other next slide.

220
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:47.730
WLWV Board Room: And then, also in that 300,000,150 million is designated for this summer for summer learning so, if you remember last summer, we also got a grant.

221
00:37:48.120 --> 00:38:00.210
WLWV Board Room: We had to contribute 25% and then they matched with 75% same for this year same criteria it's a non competitive grants so each school district does qualify as long as we fill it out.

222
00:38:00.630 --> 00:38:09.720
WLWV Board Room: And this will help us tremendously towards funding for again helping high school students with any credits, they need to catch up or complete.

223
00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:17.760
WLWV Board Room: or a summer learning, they want to do, and then also 4k eight enrichment, so we think about students who.

224
00:38:18.270 --> 00:38:23.160
WLWV Board Room: may feel like they need to do some more schooling, in the summer, who have opportunity or access to learning.

225
00:38:23.580 --> 00:38:37.710
WLWV Board Room: We can continue to get we'll get reimbursed for those costs we've always offered those summer learning opportunities, but now we're getting some grant funding, which will help with the cost of that and allow us to broaden it expanded.

226
00:38:38.730 --> 00:38:40.560
WLWV Board Room: Because we'll have some more funds towards that.

227
00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:52.920
WLWV Board Room: And then two of the bills, that you would be interested in, as the board if you recall, two of them were going towards legislative session one was on.

228
00:38:53.760 --> 00:39:02.670
WLWV Board Room: What was called the leadership stabilization bill, as you know, there's been some instability around some superintendents who were.

229
00:39:03.390 --> 00:39:11.040
WLWV Board Room: removed from their positions for not following for following some state and federal mandates particular to code related ones.

230
00:39:11.550 --> 00:39:29.940
WLWV Board Room: And what this bill that did pass ensures is that superintendents who follow federal state local laws and rules and regulations cannot be fired for no costs so that was a bill that did go forward, you can see some sponsors of that we're.

231
00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:41.970
WLWV Board Room: All SBA Cosa are we, there are a number of educational organizations that that did sponsor that bill that one did pass the next bill next slide.

232
00:39:43.080 --> 00:39:46.590
WLWV Board Room: That also went before the legislative session.

233
00:39:47.610 --> 00:39:54.060
WLWV Board Room: Dealing with school boards did not advance, so it did not have an opportunity to be voted on, it did not move forward.

234
00:39:54.420 --> 00:40:05.400
WLWV Board Room: was around requiring professional learning and training for school board members, right now, most of you, many of you have done that, on your own you've sought out those opportunities you wanted to learn more.

235
00:40:06.120 --> 00:40:14.910
WLWV Board Room: There was a proposal that it be mandatory and require because in some instances around the State there have been some school boards that.

236
00:40:15.420 --> 00:40:23.190
WLWV Board Room: have come right into the role and not had any training and it's been challenging leadership work for districts, but that bill did not.

237
00:40:23.700 --> 00:40:33.330
WLWV Board Room: advance, so I just thought i'd highlight those two, since they do pertain to school boards, and I know a number of you have been tracking those and may have been curious about the outcomes those two bills.

238
00:40:34.710 --> 00:40:36.930
WLWV Board Room: And that is it for my update.

239
00:40:39.750 --> 00:40:48.120
WLWV Board Room: After that yeah all right we're gonna move on to the consent agenda, do I have a motion to pass a motion for the consent agenda.

247
00:42:02.190 --> 00:42:08.550
WLWV Board Room: The public comment is a time the board uses to collect information rather than engage in dialogue.

248
00:42:09.120 --> 00:42:17.460
WLWV Board Room: The Board encourages speakers, not to mistake the board silence for a lack of interest or care we are listening carefully and probably taking notes.

249
00:42:17.910 --> 00:42:25.890
WLWV Board Room: If you are asking the district or board to respond or provide information, please provide your contact information with the district board Secretary.

250
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:35.730
WLWV Board Room: So that the appropriate person may follow up with you the public comment, time is not a forum for singling out individual district employees or students for complaints.

251
00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:44.670
WLWV Board Room: If you have a complaint about an individual student or district employee, please do not mention them by name or provide information that would allow for them to be identified.

252

257
00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:32.910
WLWV Board Room: The Board may set aside a maximum 45 minutes I don't think we're going to have a problem with that tonight, and so we are going to go ahead and get started.

258
00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:41.310
WLWV Board Room: So Tony Mucha and please let me know if I mispronounced your name.

259
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:44.070
WLWV Board Room: You got it right.

260
00:43:47.190 --> 00:43:59.370
WLWV Board Room: All right, 20 minutes from Wilson bill by now most of you know, who I am i'm one of the several parents that served you a letter of intent and claim against you regarding unlawful and unconstitutional masked mandates.

261
00:44:00.030 --> 00:44:15.180
WLWV Board Room: Please know that doing any of that is not something that I particularly enjoy or wanted to do in fact overall and please hear this when I say that for the most part, this board, in my opinion, has done a better job than other districts.

262
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:25.530
WLWV Board Room: And you know, keeping out things like political junk of critical race theory and things like that so on that note, thank you all of you.

263
00:44:27.030 --> 00:44:36.300
WLWV Board Room: However, we, the people are called to hold our public servants accountable when they step outside the bounds of the Constitution and enforcing mask mandates, as one of those.

264
00:44:36.750 --> 00:44:47.760
WLWV Board Room: each of you took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution our Constitution was founded on godly principles moral principles ethical principles if you haven't seen it see public law.

265
00:44:48.930 --> 00:45:00.060
WLWV Board Room: I strongly recommend you read that your own should not be taken lightly and should take precedence over any mandate or directive that comes from any entity or State Agency.

266
00:45:01.050 --> 00:45:08.490
WLWV Board Room: On Wednesday of last week, Andrew kill strum sent out an email, on behalf of district safety leadership team on which he stated.

267
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:20.550
WLWV Board Room: That volunteers my show proof of vaccination in order to volunteer and Western wills, to build schools, this is discrimination based on medical status against the invest and vaccinated volunteers.

268
00:45:21.150 --> 00:45:31.830
WLWV Board Room: I find it completely ironic that the same email Andrew says that visitors coming to the school for one time events or activities are not required to show vaccination.

269
00:45:32.580 --> 00:45:43.260
WLWV Board Room: In addition, yesterday, Andrew sent out an email stating respecting, and I quote, respecting each person's individual decision for their own health well being and comfort is important unexpected.

270
00:45:44.010 --> 00:45:52.350
WLWV Board Room: Any concerns of bullying will not be tolerated let's bring our best selves into our Community school community and quote.

271
00:45:53.220 --> 00:46:02.910
WLWV Board Room: We cannot bring our best selves into our Community and respect each person's individual choice for their own health while you are discriminating the very parents in this district.

272
00:46:03.240 --> 00:46:14.850
WLWV Board Room: That want to come, alongside and support our kids in the classroom Therefore, I request this board remove this requirement on volunteers within the next three business days and I finished with this.

273
00:46:15.540 --> 00:46:32.580
WLWV Board Room: We hold these true self evident that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.

274
00:46:33.630 --> 00:46:37.170
WLWV Board Room: deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

275
00:46:38.010 --> 00:46:52.350
WLWV Board Room: That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form.

276
00:46:53.700 --> 00:47:04.260
WLWV Board Room: And as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness and this is an excerpt from our declaration of independence, thank you, thank you.

277
00:47:09.330 --> 00:47:12.090
WLWV Board Room: Alright, and next and last on our list is john McCain.

278
00:47:22.710 --> 00:47:23.790
To the board, I mean.

279
00:47:38.460 --> 00:47:40.980
WLWV Board Room: Okay um I wasn't here in July.

280
00:47:42.270 --> 00:47:48.750
WLWV Board Room: Since I am retired i've spent two and a half months over in Europe so i'm back to the United States again.

281
00:47:50.040 --> 00:48:06.720
WLWV Board Room: But while I was way house bill 30 681 was a proved in emotion by the school board, and I was informed by the Oregon part of education that bill expired July 1 2019 and I don't know if the Board was informed that.

282
00:48:08.100 --> 00:48:11.640
WLWV Board Room: When you affirmed it that it was no longer in existence.

283
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:20.820
WLWV Board Room: The other one I was it was troubling when I was overseas and for an apartment education did communicate with me.

284
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:34.710
WLWV Board Room: That tomorrow will be the third time that we get no funds from the Oregon Department of Education, because no audit has been turned in they have frozen all the funds for the school district.

285
00:48:36.240 --> 00:48:41.340
WLWV Board Room: Over $3 million has not been paid on the purse bonds because of this and.

286
00:48:42.990 --> 00:48:51.390
WLWV Board Room: To unknown how much the rest of school district is been affected, with the frozen funds because no out of being complete.

287
00:48:52.950 --> 00:49:03.390
WLWV Board Room: It is unusual as of tomorrow there's only five districts in the state that have had their funds frozen for lack of training and not it.

288
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:22.710
WLWV Board Room: The other report I turned in was from the Western when was the school district December 2009 on up and lander field and sunset primary and in the report said the school district would keep up and lander is a park forever.

289
00:49:25.290 --> 00:49:30.180
WLWV Board Room: I hope the school district goes back to that report reach through what happened under.

290
00:49:32.100 --> 00:49:50.220
WLWV Board Room: superintendent will hall and TIM woodley and understand time commitment over two and a half years could that report together and it's something the public needs to know and understand what the lack of parks in the city Westland.

291
00:49:52.350 --> 00:49:52.830
WLWV Board Room: and

292
00:49:55.230 --> 00:50:12.000
WLWV Board Room: The other one I hope to finally put on the website is the student enrollment we're down to 9111 students that's what was turned into Oregon Department of Education and, if you take out the open enrollment students were below 9000.

293
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:13.950
WLWV Board Room: we're not growing.

294
00:50:15.330 --> 00:50:24.660
WLWV Board Room: And the numbers are out there and I think it needs to be given to the public that they understand how smaller getting it's not related to Kobe because.

295
00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:31.770
WLWV Board Room: When you look at the census for the seed Westland there was only 105.

296
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:42.120
WLWV Board Room: Up population increase there was under the age of 18 that's an old growth by the census plan, thank you.

WLWV Board Room: To meet with what 1617 different principles, in addition to all of the department stuff so I don't know if our public is aware.

319
00:55:01.650 --> 00:55:05.760
WLWV Board Room: And I don't know if that is a normal practice or not, but i'm glad that i'm part of a district.

322
00:55:26.580 --> 00:55:39.510
WLWV Board Room: You know, we want to build a budget that work for you, that work for your school that work for your department, we don't want to give you the budget and then you have to walk around budget so.

323
00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:50.370
WLWV Board Room: With setting up the meeting with school principal and department director is very much time consuming but it's very rewarding.

324
00:55:51.180 --> 00:56:05.520
WLWV Board Room: It not only helped me understand more on how to school and operating run under school, but also for the principal to understand what is the finance or Troy and economic and.

325
00:56:06.510 --> 00:56:17.940
WLWV Board Room: faction that district facing in order to help them build a budget and to make a purchase more meaningful for desk soon yeah thanks, and thank you, our principal.

326
00:56:20.310 --> 00:56:27.720
WLWV Board Room: To make a comment i'm only because it was noted in public comment about our audit and I just wanted to remind the board that.

327
00:56:28.170 --> 00:56:38.580
WLWV Board Room: We we heard as a group, back in December that are auditing firm was doing their best they have some challenges, and we all know their staffing challenges across the state and nation.

328
00:56:39.180 --> 00:56:46.980
WLWV Board Room: And that they, let us know, in December that they projected around March that that they would be aiming to get ours done and doing the best they could and we've.

329
00:56:47.400 --> 00:57:02.400
WLWV Board Room: Given them that time and we've been patient and available to continue to reach out and support, there are other auditing agencies that have also reached out and said they'd be able to help any firm that needs to complete their work this year.

330
00:57:03.450 --> 00:57:12.810
WLWV Board Room: And so I just want you know our staff is aware and they're responsive and providing everything that we need and it'll either get completed this month early next month, so.

331
00:57:13.770 --> 00:57:23.070
WLWV Board Room: we're on it, and it is unusual, but I think we're also in unusual times with staffing shortages and auditing firms are no different than school districts are other organizations that are.

393
01:07:38.550 --> 01:07:51.060
WLWV Board Room: dash Jay H ftp used to just previously be known as Jay H E and it used to be just over one page and so instead of showing you all the changes we just rewrote the policy and i'm proposing it, as is.

394
01:07:52.170 --> 01:08:04.380
WLWV Board Room: With the two with a new policy name, it is our policy on suspected abuse of a child and reporting requirements, so the changes made to this have to do with the legislative changes in 2021 regarding.

395
01:08:04.860 --> 01:08:23.460
WLWV Board Room: The definitions of child abuse the new reporting requirements, and so we have provided it here for you to review and it also changes the definition of staff, which now under this policy also includes volunteers agents and contractors of the district, as well as employees of the district.

396
01:08:28.770 --> 01:08:29.550
Any questions.

01:08:30.750 --> 01:08:35.610
WLWV Board Room: I will go ahead and entertain a motion, and then we can open up discussion after that.

402
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:11.130
WLWV Board Room: So let's take can carry slow I kiersten why by christy tanks and I thank you, thank you.

403
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:24.540
WLWV Board Room: So the second policy before us is GB and a dash Jay H FF and it was not previously J HIV, that was the past policy that's the air.

404
01:09:25.140 --> 01:09:35.310
WLWV Board Room: This is the policy around suspected sexual conduct with students and reporting requirements, so the name of the policy was changed and again the language was changed based on legislation.

405
01:09:36.900 --> 01:09:49.980
WLWV Board Room: Regarding sexual misconduct between staff and students and it includes additional comments about verbal written and electronic communication that was not previously part of the policy and outlines that and outlines.

406
01:09:51.330 --> 01:09:59.460
WLWV Board Room: The pieces of the relationship, it also again includes both employees contractors agents and volunteers as covered under this policy.

407
01:10:07.080 --> 01:10:10.170
WLWV Board Room: Once again we'll start with our motion, and then we can open for discussion.

408
01:10:17.790 --> 01:10:19.860
WLWV Board Room: Alright, I will motion that we pass.

409
01:10:21.450 --> 01:10:25.740
WLWV Board Room: Policy GB and a slash je FF.

410
01:10:27.150 --> 01:10:31.560
WLWV Board Room: Oh second Thank you it's been motion by myself and seconded by Dr Taylor.

411
01:10:32.670 --> 01:10:37.260
WLWV Board Room: Any comments or questions, Dr Taylor you look like you might have that I do actually have a question.

412
01:10:38.040 --> 01:10:45.570
WLWV Board Room: How does the district deal with consensual relationships with college students fresh grads coming out and dealing with maybe an 18 year old.

413
01:10:45.810 --> 01:10:56.070
WLWV Board Room: high school student who is of age, how has that dealt with if they're in a position of staff, which is a position of power, but they're two consenting adults who have a relationship.

414
01:10:56.700 --> 01:11:00.510
WLWV Board Room: So under senate bill 155 that was passed by the State legislation.

415
01:11:01.200 --> 01:11:10.080
WLWV Board Room: A student is now defined as any student who's in our educational institution so, for example, maybe our adult transition program up to age 21.

416
01:11:10.440 --> 01:11:18.000
WLWV Board Room: Or if they're not in the adult transition program and they graduate at 18 they're still considered a student for 90 days after graduation.

417
01:11:18.360 --> 01:11:28.590
WLWV Board Room: So the merits of the investigation what was reported those would be, we would go through an investigatory process if we had a report of an inappropriate relationship between a staff and students.

418
01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:43.980
WLWV Board Room: But the disc or the state does now define a student as a child who graduates at the age of 18 and then 90 days after that or they're in one of our adult transition programs up to the age of 21.

419
01:11:46.500 --> 01:11:49.500
WLWV Board Room: I did have a question and the red section.

420
01:11:50.520 --> 01:12:00.990
WLWV Board Room: Is that, in addition, that's the new link that's that's the whole so okay so that's completely new and I guess i'm what my question is is, do you know the spirit behind.

421
01:12:01.560 --> 01:12:07.380
WLWV Board Room: Adding that yes, so the spirit behind it, that has to do with the continued increase of.

422
01:12:08.070 --> 01:12:21.840
WLWV Board Room: Electronic communication specifically and then verbal and written, but they specifically felt like it was important to address the communication between staff and students that are involved an educational programs, and that conduct and then.

423
01:12:23.340 --> 01:12:37.950
WLWV Board Room: Whether it's between a consensual relationship or but does not create an intimidating or hostile educational environment, so if it creates an impact to the educational environment we are required to look into it and that it would fall under this fall and policy.

424
01:12:46.320 --> 01:12:53.460
WLWV Board Room: And are any other questions comments, I would just like to ask just as information to the board regarding both these policies.

425
01:12:54.270 --> 01:13:06.060
WLWV Board Room: All staff are required annually to take mandatory trainings on reporting of misconduct session sexual conduct or reporting around child abuse.

426
01:13:06.480 --> 01:13:21.480
WLWV Board Room: And those trainings are also updated so that they're aligned with current law current requirements as mandatory reporters so these these two policies do speak to trainings that our staff does have to take annually and.

427
01:13:22.770 --> 01:13:31.920
WLWV Board Room: His wallet earns department also oversees all of those mandatory trainings that our staff take so I just wanted to let you know you know how to staff become informed.

428
01:13:32.340 --> 01:13:38.970
WLWV Board Room: about these policies and about the laws they do undergo those trainings every year is that part of the onboarding process.

429
01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:44.640
WLWV Board Room: It is part of onboarding but it's also required for all staff annually it's a federal and state requirement.

430
01:13:44.970 --> 01:13:51.780
WLWV Board Room: Whether you every year, I take it every employee has to take these trainings every single year, I just wanted to.

431
01:13:52.110 --> 01:14:00.360
WLWV Board Room: Ask because I just didn't know if there would be a scenario where someone could could claim ignorance, especially young people, if it's not part of the onboarding process and.

432
01:14:00.900 --> 01:14:07.590
WLWV Board Room: Within the first fall term a relationship forms and they didn't or were exposed to that rule.

433
01:14:08.220 --> 01:14:23.280
WLWV Board Room: So for for new hire employees, they have to go within the first 30 days our coaches have to take it before they even set foot on a field, so we do have very specific requirements for the training to be completed, is it is that a requirement to for.

434
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:35.670
WLWV Board Room: For Mr say a lot of the athletic programs have trainers, who may not be staff members, but they are staff as far as the athletic program as far as.

435
01:14:36.150 --> 01:14:44.520
WLWV Board Room: conditioning and strength training are those individuals also subject to the that process and understanding what the rule is.

436
01:14:45.270 --> 01:15:02.250
WLWV Board Room: Well, we actually just brought both athletic trainers on as employees, so they will now be doing the training we did previously have contractors, though, and we do have requirements for volunteers as well to be aware of the training requirements to.

437
01:15:09.900 --> 01:15:15.840
WLWV Board Room: Everyone feel like you've had your questions answered great stuck less less Taylor.

WLWV Board Room: And then, of course, the final day of school with those three snow days allocated in knowing the date could change but June 12 is the would be the last day of school and he's proposed calendar so that's what you have before you if you have any questions, please let us know.

448
01:16:46.110 --> 01:16:46.740
WLWV Board Room: we're happy to answer it.

449
01:16:48.570 --> 01:16:49.950
WLWV Board Room: I had a question about.

450
01:16:51.750 --> 01:17:03.540
WLWV Board Room: I guess graduation day it's switched and there seemed to be some some kind of push back on that a little bit, and so there was that graduation date shifted prior to.

451
01:17:04.170 --> 01:17:09.180
WLWV Board Room: be well because of staffing and things like that, and maybe venues not available, but now that we're at a different place.

452
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:19.680
WLWV Board Room: With this pandemic, does that mean that the date will remain what it was, or does it go back or is that already been baked to i'm just asking because I didn't know so we don't usually put.

453
01:17:20.070 --> 01:17:26.760
WLWV Board Room: Events and activities in the school calendar, those are up to them schools to use the school calendar to designate.

454
01:17:27.090 --> 01:17:38.130
WLWV Board Room: When events or activities would be in graduations would be one of those so principals are eager to get this calendar, so that they can then work with those venues around setting graduation.

455
01:17:39.120 --> 01:17:49.350
WLWV Board Room: But you're right this year, because we were still coming off of the pandemic, we had to confirm with each of the locations about whether we could still hold this year's graduation in those venues.

456
01:17:49.710 --> 01:17:57.510
WLWV Board Room: We don't we anticipate next year that it'll be a little smoother of a prediction about those venues sites so.

457
01:18:01.410 --> 01:18:04.620
WLWV Board Room: All right, and I will entertain a motion about the calendar.

458
01:18:10.260 --> 01:18:12.240
WLWV Board Room: I move that we approve the recommended.

459
01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:16.650
WLWV Board Room: calendar and is there a second.

460
01:18:18.150 --> 01:18:23.190
WLWV Board Room: Second, thank you, it has been moved by director sleep and second invite director Taylor.

461
01:18:24.450 --> 01:18:27.540
WLWV Board Room: Any more discussion or questions before we call for about.

462
01:18:28.890 --> 01:18:31.020
WLWV Board Room: All right, oh, why would just add that.

463
01:18:32.070 --> 01:18:41.250
WLWV Board Room: While we always hope this is the last you'd have to approve a calendar, we just also recognize that school years are fluid and things could happen like weather related.

464
01:18:41.730 --> 01:18:50.190
WLWV Board Room: And that we may need to come back to the board anytime there is an adjustment to the calendar you've certainly done that, this year, you may have to do it again.

465
01:18:50.970 --> 01:19:01.200
WLWV Board Room: Whether that's something that we work out with our employees or something that's outside of our control it's weather related so just want to let you as a board know that we do our best.

466
01:19:01.860 --> 01:19:16.440
WLWV Board Room: This is what we're planning for, but the only time we would adjusted is circumstances that come up that we don't receive right now, but that do come, and then we come before the board with those amendments, thank you for that reminder for us, as well as for public so.

467
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:21.480
WLWV Board Room: If you would call for the vote, please Douglas this Taylor.

468
01:19:22.500 --> 01:19:28.920
WLWV Board Room: Kelly sloop I Christie Thompson I kitchen why I think you Thank you.

WLWV Board Room: Alright, so we're going to move on to department of operations, Mr Pat mcgrath.

472

WLWV Board Room: Leaving board today, we have our bond quarterly report that.

473
01:19:54.360 --> 01:20:03.870
WLWV Board Room: Our one of our long range planning committee members is graciously again Kim Jordan volunteered to give you a report on along with remote Douglas.

474
01:20:04.320 --> 01:20:20.880
WLWV Board Room: And we apologize that this didn't get to your agenda last month, you had a pretty full agenda so it's it's maybe a month late, but the next one will be coming on time so i'm going to turn it over to camp.

475
01:20:26.370 --> 01:20:27.300
WLWV Board Room: Hello.

476
01:20:29.250 --> 01:20:37.230
WLWV Board Room: And let me say, before I start, if you'll allow that it's I love doing these reports and whenever I talk to a remote we both are like.

477
01:20:37.410 --> 01:20:50.940
WLWV Board Room: i'm so excited about what's happening that every time I start our boardroom part with like i'm so excited about where we are at so forgive me, I have the passion around these projects because i've seen through from the beginning, so.

478
01:20:51.270 --> 01:20:56.700
WLWV Board Room: Anyway, thank you for letting me come tonight and i'm here tonight to make the report on the.

479
01:20:57.750 --> 01:21:06.960
WLWV Board Room: quarter for so our meeting was January 19 like pat said we're a little bit behind, so I asked remote to give me a couple of.

480
01:21:07.440 --> 01:21:17.370
WLWV Board Room: bridge pieces of information if you'll allow that wouldn't be in your packet but that I know to be true up to this date and then like I said we'll catch up next time so.

481
01:21:18.240 --> 01:21:26.790
WLWV Board Room: i'm starting with a couple of exciting things about the financial overview and that is on page one.

482
01:21:27.420 --> 01:21:42.270
WLWV Board Room: you'll notice that there's a big increase in green, which means that we did the new middle school contract so that's represented here in our financial overview and also really exciting we received.

483
01:21:43.710 --> 01:22:08.070
WLWV Board Room: quite a bit of reimbursements for he rates and for selling the timber on the ap or the dollar street or property so for the timber we ended up getting somewhere around $150,000 which was way more than anticipated and so far, today, the bond projects have received $150,000 in.

484
01:22:09.120 --> 01:22:15.690
WLWV Board Room: rebates, which I think is great and stuff works really hard to make sure that we are getting all the money back, that we should.

485
01:22:17.160 --> 01:22:25.530
WLWV Board Room: Also, I don't know if you recall, but we did receive the payment on the awesome grant so that is reflected here too, so wonderful.

486
01:22:26.100 --> 01:22:31.830
WLWV Board Room: 158 million of the current funding has been committed, that represents 70%.

487
01:22:32.340 --> 01:22:41.550
WLWV Board Room: And because we have some new committee members, at our last meeting we talked about and remote reviewed for us kind of how it works and you'll be aware.

488
01:22:41.970 --> 01:22:49.470
WLWV Board Room: that not all the bond is sold yet and that's purposeful and the staff is working on making a plan with the advisors on.

489
01:22:49.860 --> 01:23:02.250
WLWV Board Room: When the rest of the bond would be sold the purpose of my bringing that up is just to let you know that we're still ramping up those new committee members and making sure that they understand how it all works as well.

490
01:23:03.270 --> 01:23:04.410
WLWV Board Room: So.

491
01:23:05.670 --> 01:23:09.240
WLWV Board Room: Okay, and then, in general, in terms of the project updates.

492
01:23:10.440 --> 01:23:20.370
WLWV Board Room: What I had written originally when I thought it was talking last month was how the weather in December, you know really got to us, but since then we've also had a micron which just really just.

493
01:23:20.610 --> 01:23:29.520
WLWV Board Room: did not do us any favors and some of our projects One example is in one of the projects that I was on high school at one point, there were so many.

494
01:23:29.940 --> 01:23:35.880
WLWV Board Room: of our subcontract or contractors that were ill, that there was one person to operate for pieces of equipment.

495
01:23:36.360 --> 01:23:48.090
WLWV Board Room: So he had to do all of the different things so there's it wasn't our staff that was impacted but our contractors that were impacted on these projects it's out of the control of.

496
01:23:48.990 --> 01:23:58.170
WLWV Board Room: district staff, so what the district staff has done now is started being proactive like they do and make sure that they have a plan for.

497
01:23:58.380 --> 01:24:04.410
WLWV Board Room: What is going to happen if we're not going to be able to get kids on the sports fields by spring we had that has to happen.

498
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:08.460
WLWV Board Room: How are we going to make sure these schools open in 2023 so.

499
01:24:08.850 --> 01:24:22.440
WLWV Board Room: I am, I just want you to know that the staff has been really proactive and playful and intentional on making sure that the projects get done, whether that means approving over time for the contractors or.

500
01:24:22.860 --> 01:24:33.600
WLWV Board Room: You know I I had mentioned, I was drove by West on high school, the other day on Friday afternoon at five they're working they're working on Saturdays are working on Sundays so.

501
01:24:34.530 --> 01:24:49.140
WLWV Board Room: Despite all the setbacks it's still exciting we're still we're still plugging along and, at the end Oh, these are the pictures, so I had asked for some updated pictures because what's in your packet is a little bit old So if you look on.

502
01:24:50.550 --> 01:25:01.350
WLWV Board Room: This is Wilson bell high school so page four of your packet has the old pictures and this is the progress that they've made so this is super exciting.

503
01:25:01.950 --> 01:25:16.770
WLWV Board Room: and incorrect, do you have some of the other pictures, so this is another picture of the Wilson ville high school auditorium I don't know why, but having the walls up just makes such a big difference, it makes it feel like it's it's happening it's going.

504
01:25:18.030 --> 01:25:29.790
WLWV Board Room: This is the ap creek are the dollar street and middle school, this is taken from kind of the fields bridge angle, this is, I drive this every day and it.

505
01:25:30.390 --> 01:25:38.550
WLWV Board Room: Those look like roads, it looks like some places school could actually be so they're working hard there and making some progress, they are also and.

506
01:25:39.510 --> 01:25:50.400
WLWV Board Room: They built a road, so that they can do a lot of access off of willamette falls drive rather than on dollar where it's more residential so we're trying to make sure that a lot of that.

507
01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:56.700
WLWV Board Room: Construction traffic is is coming in through willamette falls it's not having an impact to the local residents.

508
01:25:58.080 --> 01:26:02.610
WLWV Board Room: let's do we have Oh, the high school and stadium project and you'll see there's a and.

509
01:26:03.450 --> 01:26:13.530
WLWV Board Room: The pictures on here again are kind of old, so I like this one, it shows where the circular walkway will be it shows the extension of the roof, and the new.

510
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:30.060
WLWV Board Room: bleachers and I think there's one more of the high school yeah the aerial so that's the parking lot it looks like something that could actually turn into a parking lot now and one other thing I wanted to mention and This just goes back to intentionality of the staff.

511
01:26:31.230 --> 01:26:39.810
WLWV Board Room: There is an issue about that curve if you're familiar with that area is kind of a blind curve and a lot of.

512
01:26:40.650 --> 01:26:48.840
WLWV Board Room: Cars come down quite quickly around there and what the staff ended up doing is recognizing that as a problem as they're doing this other work.

513
01:26:49.140 --> 01:27:02.190
WLWV Board Room: Is when had and trimmed all those trees, so that now there's this really nice line of sight from both directions keeping the students more safe who crossed there what's called the senior lot and then also creating a nicer.

514
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:12.630
WLWV Board Room: view of what will be the new parking lot, so my kids go to school, there, so I think that's a big deal, I really proud of that that kind of work so.

515
01:27:13.710 --> 01:27:15.300
WLWV Board Room: i'm okay.

516
01:27:19.710 --> 01:27:32.280
WLWV Board Room: You have everything i'm not going to read anything to you, but and the other thing that I wanted to mention was and that just to put on your radar is that the oral arguments to for the Luba.

517
01:27:33.240 --> 01:27:42.120
WLWV Board Room: Were on February 1 there hasn't been unless i'm wrong there's still no i'm decision on that you just present your stuff or you walk away and then maybe.

518
01:27:42.660 --> 01:27:55.260
WLWV Board Room: Eight to 12 weeks later, you hear the results of that so that is still pending, and I think that's, let me just double check that that's everything that I wanted to say.

519
01:27:56.790 --> 01:28:00.900
WLWV Board Room: yeah any questions or can I answer any questions on what's in the report.

520
01:28:04.710 --> 01:28:18.690
WLWV Board Room: On the as the investment advisor given any I guess indication of why the bond has a sold out because it is it not attractive or no it's it's purposely not.

521
01:28:19.140 --> 01:28:28.740
WLWV Board Room: All being sold, because there are some restrictions on how you have to spend it, you have to spend 85% within three years, and because of the the breadth and the depth of the projects.

522
01:28:29.010 --> 01:28:42.960
WLWV Board Room: We don't need it all right away, and would be hard pressed to spend that kind of money so quickly, so if the intention was to sell some and then spend through some of that and then do a staggered sale of the rest that make sense.

523
01:28:46.830 --> 01:28:49.440
WLWV Board Room: i'd sure like it when she does this it's really easy.

524
01:28:50.730 --> 01:28:58.230
WLWV Board Room: Kim is exactly correct we're right on schedule and talking with our advisors we're considering potentially this fall.

525
01:28:58.620 --> 01:29:11.760
WLWV Board Room: to sell the remaining bonds and that'd be an appropriate time to make sure that we don't have a cash flow shortage, but also that we have enough time to complete the work and spend the money before those arbitrage requirements come through.

526
01:29:14.070 --> 01:29:21.000
WLWV Board Room: Is a is a raise in the in the federate affect our muni bond at all.

527
01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:28.590
WLWV Board Room: i'm not certain exactly of the of the connections between those different things I do know that.

528
01:29:29.400 --> 01:29:49.170
WLWV Board Room: there's a certain extent to which economic tensions cause investors to move towards bonds as a relatively safe investment and that it sometimes financial uncertainty actually benefits bond sales, we talked to our investors about potentially trying to do a sale this spring.

529
01:29:50.250 --> 01:29:58.020
WLWV Board Room: And the schedule just didn't quite work out to do that, but it was actually a quite favorable time had we been able to accommodate that.

530
01:29:59.310 --> 01:30:02.430
WLWV Board Room: And so they're always very hesitant to predict.

531
01:30:03.510 --> 01:30:16.170
WLWV Board Room: because their financial advisors and they're you know people are taking relying as a legal term on what they're saying they won't tell you what things are going to look like tomorrow they will tell you what it looks like today.

532
01:30:17.220 --> 01:30:27.000
WLWV Board Room: So we expect to be talking with them in the next month or so about Okay, what is our timeline look like what kind of ramp up what kind of work, does it take.

533
01:30:27.480 --> 01:30:35.010
WLWV Board Room: Just so that we're reaffirming what we learned from the prior go around to make sure that we're prepared at the time we're looking to sell the bonds.

534
01:30:36.090 --> 01:30:45.900
WLWV Board Room: And we're in no, we have no financial obligation to either that firm or any buyers until the moment we pulled the trigger to actually perform the sale.

535
01:30:46.230 --> 01:30:58.860
WLWV Board Room: And so, a financial conditions change as we're ramping up towards the sale we're able to take an off ramp full to the side wait and consider when we might sell and we'll have.

536
01:30:59.910 --> 01:31:08.340
WLWV Board Room: Probably a year to sell them before there's a cash flow potential concern there and making sure we've got enough money in the bank to pay bills.

537
01:31:09.360 --> 01:31:12.690
WLWV Board Room: So we're in a very good place around that Thank you.

538
01:31:15.510 --> 01:31:16.500
WLWV Board Room: Any other questions.

539

WLWV Board Room: One of the many things that makes our district special is the amazing volunteers, that we have, and so you.

WLWV Board Room: History and mission and our district, and it is finishing gracefully and beautifully for the students involved and, under the leadership of principal shaping this year, so we know how important that school has been, and we also know how important it is to develop a new identity and new.

558
01:34:39.210 --> 01:34:50.010
WLWV Board Room: Culture that will start with a new name of our new high school so um before you today just to remind our public we first came to you back in December.

559
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:58.140
WLWV Board Room: And talked about our board policy allows our school board to select the name of the new schools so.

560
01:34:58.740 --> 01:35:12.210
WLWV Board Room: We also in the spirit of our school board always involving our community in such beautiful ways suggested a process where we open up to suggestions from throughout the Community and we received.

561
01:35:14.040 --> 01:35:14.940
WLWV Board Room: Andrew might know.

562
01:35:17.610 --> 01:35:29.430
WLWV Board Room: 256 suggestions for names for our new high school some of those came in just through the website after people heard we had opened it up some of them came.

563
01:35:30.060 --> 01:35:33.930
WLWV Board Room: When principal shape and did some visits, maybe you could describe those visits to the middle schools.

564
01:35:34.860 --> 01:35:43.740
WLWV Board Room: Well yeah so we have attempted to go to lunch time at the middle schools but reaching every student is a little more challenging and so we ended up doing a video.

565
01:35:44.100 --> 01:35:46.770
WLWV Board Room: outreach that they could play in each of their homeroom classes.

566
01:35:47.400 --> 01:35:52.080
WLWV Board Room: To try to reach as many students, as we could, and so that students felt like they had a voice in that process.

567
01:35:52.410 --> 01:36:01.230
WLWV Board Room: And so it's been fun to start to go back to the middle school, not that they've seen the video, and they can connect me to to that place and so it's been fun to start to meet students in a in a different light.

568
01:36:01.740 --> 01:36:15.570
WLWV Board Room: So using that opportunity to develop more excitement for potential students coming in the fall of 2023 so after we had all of those 256 admission submissions.

569
01:36:16.050 --> 01:36:30.000
WLWV Board Room: We gathered a terrific representative group that included some staff from our middle schools high schools some Community members some students.

570
01:36:32.460 --> 01:36:45.240
WLWV Board Room: Long term staff, yes, so we had a great representation came together did some small group work and some consensus building and brought forward a slate of the top names.

571
01:36:45.810 --> 01:36:54.690
WLWV Board Room: To bring to you that was our commitment to bring forward names that were had the most interest and excitement behind them, we of course.

572
01:36:55.320 --> 01:37:01.950
WLWV Board Room: want to make sure that you know as by board policy, you can pick whatever name, you would want, and so we put all the the.

573
01:37:02.880 --> 01:37:11.400
WLWV Board Room: Behind the slate of names we're bringing to you the raw data of the 256 in case you wanted to select something else, and so.

574
01:37:12.270 --> 01:37:18.120
WLWV Board Room: We have this slate for you and the process that we have outlined and proposed for you is that we.

575
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:27.270
WLWV Board Room: would give that to you and then give you about five minutes to just review those individually or as long as you feel is needed vice chair Thompson.

576
01:37:28.170 --> 01:37:35.580
WLWV Board Room: And, and then you would reconvene and we would make ourselves available if you had any questions or discussion about.

577
01:37:35.910 --> 01:37:42.240
WLWV Board Room: What the stories behind where these names may have come from or discussion that came for forward from that Community group.

578
01:37:42.780 --> 01:37:47.640
WLWV Board Room: And then, suggesting that each board member then would use the paper.

579
01:37:48.360 --> 01:37:57.000
WLWV Board Room: ballot will be provided to you to write down after that discussion Where are you thinking might be the top choices and turn those in then to.

580
01:37:57.450 --> 01:38:14.760
WLWV Board Room: Vice chair Thompson who will collate calibrate share that information back out there's no requirement that it's a strictly numerical vote but it's more of a sense of where is the consensus beginning to build from you, as a group, and then at any point, you could start to entertain motions.

581
01:38:15.900 --> 01:38:27.180
WLWV Board Room: Towards a particular name as you notice something beginning to emerge there so that is the process that we have outlined for you and more detail in the board memo and preschool shaping did I miss anything.

582
01:38:29.070 --> 01:38:44.280
WLWV Board Room: Okay, so just to clarify while you have access to the 256 it's it's this sheet in your packet, that is, the recommended slate for the board that the committee has taken from the 256 and believe these are.

583
01:38:45.690 --> 01:38:53.940
WLWV Board Room: The vetted choices and so you're choosing from the pink sheet here, I know you've got several pages in your packet, but this is the one.

584
01:38:54.450 --> 01:39:09.450
WLWV Board Room: That you would be working from and if there's any questions about the names or the context for any of these both Jennifer and Nick are here to give you a little bit more of the conversation that happened with the committee and why they came up with these seven.

585
01:39:11.610 --> 01:39:25.770
WLWV Board Room: we'll go ahead and do now is take at least a five minute recess and i'm going to get my fellow board members and myself a time to just digest and read through the names read through kind of what the connection was and why they were suggested.

586
01:39:27.270 --> 01:39:37.260
WLWV Board Room: And then we will reconvene and then at that time, if you have questions that you would like to go ahead and ask and then we'll go ahead and take your phone.

587
01:39:38.070 --> 01:39:42.390
WLWV Board Room: And I think, because this packet is not up on the screen.

588
01:39:43.380 --> 01:39:54.660
WLWV Board Room: Nick could you read the seven names that are on the packet that the Board is seeing in front of them because it's not up on the screen so that folks at home know which ones, the Board is considering from.

WLWV Board Room: There were some some great questions are these things that are still outstanding, that we would need to look into or.

599
01:41:16.200 --> 01:41:27.780
WLWV Board Room: we've had put out some feelers to who we thought would be the appropriate people to try to explore some of these components and have not yet been able to connect with those folks So those are outstanding questions.

600
01:41:39.420 --> 01:41:39.930
WLWV Board Room: Yes.

WLWV Board Room: Okay, so here is what the rod day that looks like it looks like so Union river high school.

605
01:43:02.340 --> 01:43:19.590
WLWV Board Room: had a vote at least from each one of the board members, I should say I take that back from for the board members so for the five board members included Union river high school in their in their list from two people that got a first place vote and then a second and a third place votes.

606
01:43:20.820 --> 01:43:25.620
WLWV Board Room: riverside high school also received three votes to ones and a three.

607
01:43:27.210 --> 01:43:40.680
WLWV Board Room: And if you want to track that on your end then river's edge high school received three votes all tues so are two let's see and then savannah oaks received.

608
01:43:41.700 --> 01:43:46.170
WLWV Board Room: votes from two board members forte high school and caligula.

609
01:43:47.340 --> 01:43:56.340
WLWV Board Room: apologies if I pronounced that incorrectly they each received a vote a two and a three so when I look at kind of where we were at.

610
01:43:57.060 --> 01:44:14.940
WLWV Board Room: Union river high school, I received a four out of four out of five votes from board members both river's edge and riverside high school received three boats and again riverside to have those were once so I want to remind the board at this time.

611
01:44:16.320 --> 01:44:30.360
WLWV Board Room: Jerry yes to clarify did people consider choice A, B and C as rankings are just three oh very good she goes I I consider them as one, two and three, so I guess I should ask that.

612
01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:38.070
WLWV Board Room: One okay one, two and three, and I believe chair kings or did they.

613
01:44:41.190 --> 01:44:50.880
WLWV Board Room: Leave she told us Okay, in her message, she just gave us three Okay, so I didn't have it written as 123 but that's just how you designate it.

614
01:44:51.360 --> 01:45:00.150
WLWV Board Room: Correct okay did not say she may not see she just gave them three so I was correct and understanding that the rest of the board members did a one, two and three okay.

615
01:45:01.230 --> 01:45:12.660
WLWV Board Room: So I just want to remind the board at this time kind of the procedure we're going to follow and so i've kind of let you know what the tally was so it looks like kind of the top ones were Union river high school.

616
01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:21.930
WLWV Board Room: riverside high school river's edge high school, those are kind of our top three not that you can't make a motion for one of the others.

617
01:45:22.290 --> 01:45:28.560
WLWV Board Room: So what I will do in a second is entertain a motion that proposes the name of a new high school.

618
01:45:29.190 --> 01:45:41.850
WLWV Board Room: and keep in mind if the motion is not second it so let's say a board member brings up something, and you it's not one that you're going to vote for you're not you do not, it does not have to get a second.

619
01:45:42.420 --> 01:45:59.640
WLWV Board Room: So, if it does not get a second than that motion will die, and then I will take a new motion with a different name and we'll just continue that process until we do have a motion with the second, and then we will vote keep in mind at that time as well.

620
01:46:00.870 --> 01:46:05.880
WLWV Board Room: You do not have to vote for that name if.

621
01:46:06.930 --> 01:46:11.370
WLWV Board Room: You know you don't want to so is everyone, I just want to make sure everybody's clear.

622
01:46:12.450 --> 01:46:18.870
WLWV Board Room: On that process that make a motion we don't have to second yes, is our goal unanimity.

623
01:46:20.910 --> 01:46:23.820
WLWV Board Room: That is a good as our as our goal to be unanimous.

624
01:46:27.360 --> 01:46:28.380
WLWV Board Room: It always helps.

625
01:46:30.390 --> 01:46:37.980
WLWV Board Room: And it may be that in your discussion, which I think you should have before emotion is that you hear more from each other.

626
01:46:38.580 --> 01:46:52.350
WLWV Board Room: Around where you think you're going in terms of perhaps a name and emotion, so I would spend some good little time in discussion about your choices and why you're you're leaning a certain way, so.

627
01:46:53.610 --> 01:47:08.610
WLWV Board Room: So procedurally normally we do emotion first and then a discussion, but this time, you probably do the discussion first before we met, I think you set up this process to have the motion lead actually towards the vote I think probably do a discussion.

628
01:47:09.660 --> 01:47:24.000
WLWV Board Room: First, thank you for that clarification i'll start on the left or the right fit for the audience, I had a one a one B and so Union river was my one day or one be.

629
01:47:25.350 --> 01:47:26.190
WLWV Board Room: And so.

630
01:47:27.330 --> 01:47:41.190
WLWV Board Room: I like it, because it's there isn't you know, there is a Union High School in Washington, but there isn't a Union river high school, I, like some of the wording that was put in here as far as how is joining the two communities and for me.

631
01:47:42.870 --> 01:47:46.740
WLWV Board Room: We have a riverside high school in Washington, we have riverdale up the street.

632
01:47:48.120 --> 01:48:00.060
WLWV Board Room: I mean there's a lot of river school, so I wouldn't differentiate us from someone else in the spirit of athletics, and someone athletic athletic guy i'm athletic anymore.

633
01:48:01.650 --> 01:48:07.980
WLWV Board Room: stuff so my vote, and if if if I make a motion it'll be for Union river high school.

634
01:48:12.240 --> 01:48:13.590
WLWV Board Room: Did anybody else want to make.

635
01:48:15.180 --> 01:48:15.840
comment.

636
01:48:16.860 --> 01:48:20.130
WLWV Board Room: And I will be in sorry go ahead director slip and.

637
01:48:21.990 --> 01:48:27.300
WLWV Board Room: I like Union river, because by breaking it up Union just unifies.

638
01:48:28.440 --> 01:48:35.310
WLWV Board Room: Westland listen bill and also river, if you know between the two we've got wollaton willamette.

639
01:48:36.450 --> 01:48:45.510
WLWV Board Room: And the clackamas river and it does set apart from any confusion of any of the Union high schools out there.

640
01:48:46.530 --> 01:48:52.290
WLWV Board Room: So I think it just has a nice ring to it Union river so that would be my vote.

641
01:48:54.330 --> 01:48:56.760
WLWV Board Room: And I was going to add, there was some history.

642
01:48:58.140 --> 01:49:11.250
WLWV Board Room: under Union high school that this was the first name of less than high school in 1917 when Bolton willamette and Westland were three different districts and union was meant to unify the three communities and one school district.

643
01:49:11.520 --> 01:49:30.840
WLWV Board Room: So I like that there's that historical tie but I, like the Union river, because it is unique, you know, again, it talks about the unification of our district, and the rivers, but also, there are other Union high schools out there, and so it again makes us unique, so I appreciate that history.

644
01:49:32.370 --> 01:49:40.350
WLWV Board Room: behind that name as well, so it sounds like we're ready to entertain a motion director Taylor did you have a motion I moved to.

645
01:49:41.580 --> 01:49:47.070
WLWV Board Room: A to approve the new High School name of Union river high school.

646
01:49:49.590 --> 01:49:53.910
WLWV Board Room: Yes, that's what that's my movement, thank you, is there a second.

647
01:49:56.640 --> 01:50:05.400
WLWV Board Room: Thank you, it has been moved by director Taylor, and second, and by director Wyatt that we name our new high school Union river high school.

648
01:50:06.420 --> 01:50:11.190
WLWV Board Room: status will you call for the vote Julie fully loose Taylor.

649

WLWV Board Room: No words Community Member actually came up with that, is there a way to find out who did that, to be able to let them know that their name was selected.

653
01:50:35.460 --> 01:50:36.180
WLWV Board Room: survey right.

658

WLWV Board Room: And you know this, this will be a legacy and I think this is one of the fun things about the roles and responsibilities, you have is your imprint.

659
01:51:19.980 --> 01:51:33.660
WLWV Board Room: In terms of some of these types of decisions that do create a legacy what we forgot to mention is, you have a part B of this responsibility and now it's to champion this high school to give it your full support.

660
01:51:34.200 --> 01:51:45.900

WLWV Board Room: We wanted to have more of just the local control and then, when the updated metrics came out.

670
01:53:01.830 --> 01:53:12.570
WLWV Board Room: The local control was placed with the public, County health with metrics in place and then let it let the local school boards kind of decide.

WLWV Board Room: Last year the Westland Wilson bill school board unanimously supported and operated an operational framework that provided our students full time in person instruction.

675
01:53:56.730 --> 01:54:06.000
WLWV Board Room: Our decision was strongly supported by Stat district staff administrators Union leadership Community feedback and clackamas county public health.

676
01:54:06.750 --> 01:54:13.320
WLWV Board Room: During the pandemic our districts relationship of clackamas county public health has become stronger than ever.

677
01:54:13.650 --> 01:54:21.090
WLWV Board Room: As we know, the local decision making on most coven 19 health and safety protocols is most effective for our students and families.

678
01:54:22.080 --> 01:54:29.850
WLWV Board Room: Kobe 19th delta and all McCrone variants affected our communities, and we are proud that the Westland Wilson bill school district remained open.

679
01:54:30.300 --> 01:54:37.380
WLWV Board Room: Thanks to a committed effort or teachers and staff we advocate for a safe and inclusive learning environment.

680
01:54:38.250 --> 01:54:45.720
WLWV Board Room: and offer support for health and safety protocols for our schools, so we can serve our students, so we can serve our students.

681
01:54:46.260 --> 01:55:01.020
WLWV Board Room: In our district, the availability and use of rapid antigen coven 19 tests increasing coven 19 vaccinations for ages five and up and improve therapies and early intervention treatments of all serve to lower the individual risk of.

682
01:55:02.880 --> 01:55:08.760
WLWV Board Room: Westland has an 80% vaccination rate and Wilson ville has a 78% vaccination rates.

683
01:55:09.510 --> 01:55:25.350
WLWV Board Room: We believe, providing metrics and ensuring county level public health decision making is the most transparent way for our communities to address and understand the code 19 landscape, as we transition, these can count continued county level metrics for coven.

684
01:55:26.400 --> 01:55:32.460
WLWV Board Room: will provide an equitable and safe learning environment and ensure the success of our students and teachers.

685
01:55:33.030 --> 01:55:44.460
WLWV Board Room: Again, thank you for lifting the mask mandate, and thank you for providing local county public health oversight, to allow our students to thrive respectfully the Westland Wilson ville school board of directors.

686
01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:48.060
WLWV Board Room: Thank you Casey.

687
01:55:49.470 --> 01:56:05.490
WLWV Board Room: Thank you, and at our last meeting we had a discussion about the fact that during these times of code things were so rapidly changing, and so, even on the day that we brought a letter forward we'd receive new news about.

688
01:56:06.450 --> 01:56:13.980
WLWV Board Room: A new date for the lifting of the mask mandate and then that subsequently changed again, and so I want to thank director sloop for being.

689
01:56:15.120 --> 01:56:24.930
WLWV Board Room: So adaptable and working on a letter that reflected our interests as a united board to say that we really believe that.

690
01:56:25.860 --> 01:56:36.060
WLWV Board Room: That parents and teachers and administrators here know what's best for our students and we've developed this amazing relationship with the public health department, where we can rely on experts and so.

691
01:56:36.570 --> 01:56:45.510
WLWV Board Room: I think this letter is the result of figuring out this ever changing landscape and then also reflecting that shared vision, I think that we all have.

692
01:56:46.170 --> 01:56:53.700
WLWV Board Room: To really to say that we know what's best for our kids we know what's best for our students, and on top of that really cementing.

693
01:56:54.060 --> 01:57:10.770
WLWV Board Room: The amazing relationship that our administrators have formed with other public health experts so i'm just want to thank director sloop for working on this letter, and for us to get this get it to this point to really reaffirm, I think, where we are, as a district, and as a school board.

694
01:57:14.130 --> 01:57:17.010
WLWV Board Room: Thank you to you both for working on it together.

695
01:57:18.330 --> 01:57:21.000
WLWV Board Room: So at this point, I will entertain a motion.

696
01:57:21.900 --> 01:57:24.750
WLWV Board Room: Do we need emotion, or do we just kind of can we.

697
01:57:25.020 --> 01:57:37.200
WLWV Board Room: Can I know we've done the not have heads before and just you know can removal yeah you can do that, to make sure there's consensus Okay, we will because of board members agreeing to put their name on this letter Okay, and you could even ask if someone's not.

698
01:57:37.890 --> 01:57:43.620
WLWV Board Room: amenable to putting their name on that they indicate okay that so and his chair King seen the letter.

699
01:57:45.630 --> 01:57:58.560
WLWV Board Room: iteration so we'll need to ask her when she returns okay so i'm just going to buy a show of hands knots that you are okay with having your name on this letter that we're going to be sending to governor brown a support yes.

700
01:57:59.670 --> 01:58:09.330
WLWV Board Room: Okay, so, then we will check with chair King okay great Thank you, thank you both again for you to work on that, right now, oh i'm sorry go ahead director so.

701
01:58:12.840 --> 01:58:21.750
WLWV Board Room: One question we had if chair king is okay with this letter, would it be possible to put it on the Westland Wilson ville letterhead.

702
01:58:23.610 --> 01:58:25.410
WLWV Board Room: Yes, we can yeah.

703
01:58:26.490 --> 01:58:31.950
WLWV Board Room: We can also post it on our website, I thought that was probably what we want to do as a communication from the board.

704
01:58:32.370 --> 01:58:41.580
WLWV Board Room: If you and Andrew will mention in the board briefs which he sends out after every board meeting that you approve of this letter will be a copy great Thank you, thank you.

705
01:58:42.600 --> 01:58:55.020
WLWV Board Room: All right now we are moving on to discussion about our next school board listening session and directors Taylor and director sleep matt and they're going to give us an update of kind of what they have worked on.

706
01:59:04.500 --> 01:59:04.950
WLWV Board Room: So.

707
01:59:06.360 --> 01:59:08.790
WLWV Board Room: let's take one and pass it down, please.

708
01:59:36.930 --> 01:59:38.760
WLWV Board Room: So director slew myself.

709
01:59:39.900 --> 01:59:40.620
WLWV Board Room: Dr Ludwig.

710
01:59:41.700 --> 01:59:55.710
WLWV Board Room: In team met to discuss our second bored listening session and our focus around the second session was going to be primarily to focus on middle school age kids and so.

711
01:59:56.460 --> 02:00:10.440
WLWV Board Room: We came in, with a a structure that was built by Dr Ludwig and thank you for doing that you made our lives so easy and Dr Jason who's here who oversees middle schools were oh there, she is your hands right.

712
02:00:11.460 --> 02:00:18.780
WLWV Board Room: Bad so I apologize for neglecting to to mention mentioned that you were in corvallis a day.

713
02:00:20.100 --> 02:00:29.760
WLWV Board Room: eugene somewhere down south, so thank you, they you know when you came to the meeting you made it easy for us to look at the two different structures that we'd like to use and.

714
02:00:30.150 --> 02:00:45.780
WLWV Board Room: director sleeping and not sleep and I took the initiative to narrow it down to one that we felt would would fit the feel and create the energy that we would want in the room, and that was an in person meeting versus a zoom.

715
02:00:47.100 --> 02:00:54.450
WLWV Board Room: And you want me to just go through and explain what we have so director sloop and I are going to host this on the evening of.

716
02:00:55.350 --> 02:01:00.330
WLWV Board Room: Do we haven't chosen leaving yet, but it'll be anywhere from an hour to hour and a quarter hour 15 minutes.

717
02:01:01.230 --> 02:01:16.560
WLWV Board Room: we're going to put into one location in person and we're going to have all five board members attending and our plan is to break in divide out into four groups from four schools that will bring six to eight students to the meeting.

718
02:01:17.580 --> 02:01:23.700
WLWV Board Room: To be able to share their experience within the school and the number of different topics that will will focus on so.

719
02:01:24.600 --> 02:01:31.950
WLWV Board Room: we're going to ask them several questions and engage in conversation around what about school makes them feel good what makes them feel included.

720
02:01:32.700 --> 02:01:43.530
WLWV Board Room: What can make school better do you feel included or seen when you're at school what's your relationship like, with your teacher staff and other leaders within your school how, when do you feel heard.

721
02:01:45.120 --> 02:01:46.920
WLWV Board Room: And what do you want us to know.

722
02:01:48.120 --> 02:01:54.060
WLWV Board Room: You know that we're excuse me, we want us to know now that mask are optional.

723
02:01:54.510 --> 02:02:05.070
WLWV Board Room: Because we talked a little bit about this to even our own kids experiences with masks without mass some love it some like I could care less either way, and so we want to know what.

724
02:02:05.730 --> 02:02:14.190
WLWV Board Room: You know they're feeling is about as adults, we all have opinions and you We hear a lot of that from the Community, but we never get to hear the students voice so.

725
02:02:14.640 --> 02:02:21.660
WLWV Board Room: We felt given those middle schoolers a chance to share with us, would be a great opportunity for us to to see how they're being influenced and.

726
02:02:23.280 --> 02:02:26.970
WLWV Board Room: and get a better feel for him so after this discussion each school.

727
02:02:28.980 --> 02:02:44.190
WLWV Board Room: will get an opportunity to share out and and so that we can all hear one another, from those breakouts everybody will come together and kind of share their the different findings and we'll take those findings and come back and discuss them as a board so super excited about this.

728
02:02:45.750 --> 02:02:53.100
WLWV Board Room: We feel like meeting in person, provides an advantage it eliminates disruptions to the school day rather than meeting in school.

729
02:02:54.540 --> 02:03:10.260
WLWV Board Room: everybody's together and we're doing these breakouts because sometimes a big group will intimidate kids that age, so if we break them down into smaller groups allow them to share not feel so intimidated by the scope of the room it'll allow us to get more and more intentional feedback.

730
02:03:12.000 --> 02:03:20.880
WLWV Board Room: Other things that we thought it shows a sense of unity with the board there the students their staff from those schools there.

731
02:03:22.230 --> 02:03:33.780
WLWV Board Room: And now, and we're just looking forward to hearing from the students but challenges that we see with meeting in person is is is transportation, maybe the events available on an evening this that some parents can't make it.

732
02:03:34.950 --> 02:03:44.910
WLWV Board Room: And so we're looking at possible solutions to transportation for people who want to be there, but may not have a way and so that could be a rideshare type of.

733
02:03:46.290 --> 02:03:54.810
WLWV Board Room: setup and we also will be providing dinner, because we know that kids at that hour in the evening will be hungry.

734
02:03:55.920 --> 02:04:02.430
WLWV Board Room: And when they're hungry you don't have their attention right and we know that some parents are also concerned about are they going to be home in time to eat dinner.

735
02:04:02.880 --> 02:04:11.580
WLWV Board Room: And that actually alleviate the pain spot for our families, not having to worry about the children being fed so and we're going to pay special attention to dietary and.

736
02:04:12.240 --> 02:04:24.330
WLWV Board Room: any type of allergy restrictions that might be there, so we'll get something out prior to it once those kids are selected, so that we can prepare and do the best job to make sure that we're taking care of those children and those families so.

737
02:04:25.530 --> 02:04:27.420
WLWV Board Room: that's the format that we landed on.

738
02:04:28.740 --> 02:04:31.110
WLWV Board Room: i'm excited about it, I think it could be really good.

739
02:04:32.160 --> 02:04:40.020
WLWV Board Room: And i'm really just wanting to hear those young students voice so that's my that's the biggest thing for me I love the kids.

740
02:04:42.450 --> 02:04:54.600
WLWV Board Room: questions, I do have a question and so we're going to have six to eight representatives students from each of our four middle schools and how, how are those going to be chosen by principles how.

741
02:04:55.470 --> 02:05:05.550
WLWV Board Room: Will that happen yeah I think if this is the structure that you land on then we then Dr boyce and we'll work with each of the principles to say Look, we need a representative group.

742
02:05:06.600 --> 02:05:08.310
WLWV Board Room: So be thinking about how you get.

743
02:05:09.330 --> 02:05:20.670
WLWV Board Room: gender representation some grade level representation students with different interests and access and schools, so that we broaden the voices that you get to hear from.

744
02:05:21.210 --> 02:05:32.280
WLWV Board Room: And then remember we'll have 48 or so all together so you'll want to also think collectively what what are you hearing from 48 so it might be six or eight at one school.

745
02:05:33.450 --> 02:05:46.800
WLWV Board Room: represent you know certain interests backgrounds and then you also get six to eight from another, so you will hear from about 48 to 50 middle school students, which is a nice size, when you think collectively as well.

746
02:05:47.730 --> 02:06:00.360
WLWV Board Room: So one school is struggling with getting maybe a representation in a certain area, maybe A grade level or something hopefully you get that from the other school so they'll also talk to each other and we'll make sure that we work on that.

747
02:06:03.000 --> 02:06:04.080
WLWV Board Room: Are other questions.

748
02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:06.870
WLWV Board Room: or discussion.

749
02:06:07.890 --> 02:06:22.050
WLWV Board Room: Thank you, I am I think that sounds great, I would like to table deciding on a date, since we don't have chair King with us, and I think it's important that because it is going to be all five board members so.

750
02:06:22.890 --> 02:06:34.020
WLWV Board Room: Maybe miss Douglas you can do a doodle type poll at some point, so that we can find a date at a later so we're not going to decide about that right now that may be.

751
02:06:35.190 --> 02:06:44.280
WLWV Board Room: Just a nod that board members, this is what we were thinking, I think it sounds great so thank you so much for that work and.

752
02:06:44.880 --> 02:06:48.870
WLWV Board Room: To the staff who helped and came alongside to collaborate out that.

753
02:06:49.620 --> 02:06:50.040
WLWV Board Room: I think.

754
02:06:50.370 --> 02:06:56.430
WLWV Board Room: After slicing will work also with the principles on if there's some dates that don't work for the middle schools, you know we get into spring.

755
02:06:56.490 --> 02:07:02.880
WLWV Board Room: track and field and those kinds of things there might be some days when there's some events going on in school, so we want to kind of work with the calendar.

756
02:07:03.570 --> 02:07:11.520
WLWV Board Room: That they have and then propose those dates within the doodle poll that may be all kind of select from does that sound okay.

757
02:07:12.180 --> 02:07:18.990
WLWV Board Room: All right, as you were mentioning Dr boyce and now we're going to do some ice breakers for those students in the intro.

758
02:07:19.350 --> 02:07:27.450
WLWV Board Room: To kind of break down that that first barrier right that intimidation factor whatnot so there'll be an icebreaker something to kind of loosen the kids up.

759
02:07:27.930 --> 02:07:42.000
WLWV Board Room: And let them know that this is not meant for them to be feel like they're being drilled and or interrogated the kind of that feeling you get if you ever get pulled into an airport back metal room right so i've been there once on an accident but.

760
02:07:43.230 --> 02:07:47.130
WLWV Board Room: So there will be an icebreaker for them so we're i'm excited about that too.

761
02:07:48.360 --> 02:08:01.740
WLWV Board Room: i'm just really first of all, again, just so proud of this board, you know and during this again busy year with as many complications you're leaning into your leadership roles in a way that's continuing to.

762
02:08:02.280 --> 02:08:09.360
WLWV Board Room: put yourselves out there available to the Community you've created a goal about really hearing from the Community and taking.

763
02:08:09.840 --> 02:08:16.080
WLWV Board Room: board goal number four to heart, you know how do we hear from our valued community.

764
02:08:16.890 --> 02:08:26.370
WLWV Board Room: Sorry number three and encouraging that voice and you did have a listening session with adults and parents and you purposely said now it's time to hear from.

765
02:08:27.300 --> 02:08:35.370
WLWV Board Room: Our other constituents who are also evaluate, in fact, or school serve our students and so i'm really proud of this board for doing this work.

766
02:08:35.910 --> 02:08:48.540
WLWV Board Room: And i'm excited for this evening, and I think you're going to create a real comfortable and enjoyable experience that reminds young people that our board of directors are approachable their parents in our Community, they want to hear us.

767
02:08:48.990 --> 02:09:00.120
WLWV Board Room: And I think it's just going to be a remarkable evening and you're you're going to learn a lot about what they're thinking, I think, will learn a lot more when you're getting information that's unfiltered without a parent hovering.

768
02:09:00.720 --> 02:09:09.510
WLWV Board Room: Right and that kid can actually give their voice, instead of their parents voice, or what their parent has drilled into them to say, or what they're regurgitating from home so.

769
02:09:10.560 --> 02:09:15.630
WLWV Board Room: i'm really interested in hearing what these kids are going through, not what their parents are going through.

770
02:09:15.930 --> 02:09:27.240
WLWV Board Room: We know that already we get that every single day 365 24 seven, but the emails so that'll be nice to finally get ears on the kids that we're trying to serve so i'm excited about that.

771
02:09:28.590 --> 02:09:35.670
WLWV Board Room: Their teachers may want to hear and get a grade you know, so this really will be them unfiltered.

772
02:09:37.620 --> 02:09:38.400
WLWV Board Room: So excellent.

773
02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:47.400
