[Policy Committee Meeting on September 6, 2022.]
MR. VICE PRESIDENT IS ONLINE POLICY COMMITTEE MEMBER MS. WAKEFIELD, MYSELF.YEAH, BUT I'M ON THE COMMITTEE.
OKAY, SO MEETINGS CALLED, THE ORDER ROLE IS CALLED WE HAVE CITIZENS COMMUNICATION.
WE ENVISION THIS WHEN WE CALL A MEETING AS, UH, KIND OF A NUTS AND BOLTS MEETING ABOUT POLICY, BUT IT'S EVOLVED INTO A FULL SCALE TASB POLICY UPDATE.
I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE GET STARTED.
HOW DID THIS GO FROM A, A COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE MEETING? I GUESS FOR US TO DISCUSSING CERTAIN SPECIFICS REGARDING THE POLICY TO A ONE 19? CAUSE I THOUGHT THE ONE 19, BECAUSE IT'S SO IN DEPTH AND THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION, UM, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN ONE THING.
BUT THE COMMITTEE ITSELF WOULD'VE BEEN ALLOWED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION EITHER WELL PRIOR TO THIS, WHICH WOULD KIND OF MAKE SENSE TO, AT THE SAME TIME.
SO, UM, THE POLICY COMMITTEE MEETINGS IS, THAT'S WHERE WE BRING THIS INFORMATION FIRST.
UM, SAME, UM, PROCEDURE WE KIND OF PRACTICE WE DID LAST YEAR.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THEN IT GOES, UH, BEFORE THE BOARD, AT THE BOARD MEETING.
I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS, BUT I WAS JUST STATING, UM, SO WOULD WE BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ANOTHER POLICY MEETING THAT IS NOT CIRCLE THE, LIKE, SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING OF THE ONE 19 IN DEPTH, UM, SEP SEPARATELY AS FAR AS, UM, CHANGES TO THE POLICY OR, AND THINGS OF THE SORT? YEAH.
CAUSE I, I'M, I'M, SO, I'M JUST ASKING.
UM, NORMALLY WHEN WE GET THESE, SO WE HAD OUR, UM, POLICY CONSULTANT, SHE MET WITH ME ON LAST TUESDAY.
THEY USUALLY DO SOME OF THE LARGER DISTRICTS FIRST, OR, UH, GO THROUGH DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO OUR MEETING WAS, UH, LAST TUESDAY.
AND SO, UM, IT WAS KIND OF LIKE THE SAME TIME WE'RE GONNA HAVE A POLICY MEETING.
SO THESE ARE CHANGES THAT COME FROM, UH, THE STATE.
EITHER THEY HAVE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND SO THEN WE'RE REQUIRED TO UPDATE THEM.
LIKE, SOME OF THEM MIGHT EVEN HAVE DIFFERENT DATES.
ALL OF THEM MIGHT HAVE A SOLID DATE.
UM, SOMETIMES LIKE PRIOR TO SCHOOL STARTING.
UM, SO WHEN SHE CAME IN TO SPEAK, UM, WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE AS A, ON THE COMMITTEES NOT TO BE A PART OF OR, CUZ I'M NOT, I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT, NOR WAS I GIVING AN INVITE.
SO USUALLY SHE JUST SPEAKS WITH, UM, THE POLICY, UH, LIKE PER SE HERE, LIKE MONET ARE USUALLY, YOU KNOW, UH, PER SE ON THOSE, IT'S LIKE A DISTRICT CONTACT.
UM, SHE DOESN'T SPEAK AT NIGHT, LIKE TO THE BOARD BOARD THAT HADN'T BEEN, NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CAN I ASK A QUESTION FOR CLARITY? THAT MIGHT HELP.
SO ARE YOU ASKING IF THERE SHOULD, IF WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING TO HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE ON THE POLICY COMMITTEE, THAT YOU THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD BE LIKE A COMMITTEE MEETING TO LIKE ORGANIZE, LIKE, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA FUNCTION HERE, HERE ARE THE POLICY, THINGS LIKE THAT MORE, IT'S THE MULTIPLE QUESTIONS.
ONE IS, IF THERE WAS SOMEONE TO COME IN FROM STATE OR BOARD OR WHAT HAVE YOU TO SPEAK TO US ON POLICY, WHY WOULDN'T THE PEOPLE ON THE POLICY COMMITTEE BE A PART OF THAT MEETING OR NOTIFIED? AND SO WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS, MY UNDERSTANDING IN EVERY DISTRICT IS THAT THE, THE PERSON COMES AND SPEAKS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OR THE LEAD FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMMITTEE.
AND SO WHAT I'M, I THINK YOU'RE ASKING AND DO CORRECT ME, IS THAT ONCE THAT MEETING HAPPENED, YOU'RE ASKING IF YOU ALL, IF, IF IT IS THE ROLE OF THIS COMMITTEE TO BE ADVISED ON THAT PRIOR TO THIS MEETING? NO.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN, IN MOST DISTRICTS IS WHEN THAT PERSON COMES FROM TS V OR FROM TA OR WHATEVER, THEY ACTUALLY SPEAK TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THE DISTRICT.
NOT NECESSARILY THE COMMITTEE.
SO THE PEOPLE FROM TSB DON'T SPEAK TO COMMITTEE WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY SPEAK TO ONLY THE EMPLOYEE WHEN THAT, THAT IS WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS.
WHAT IS GUIDELINES DURING THE WORKDAY.
AND THEY DO IT THEN, I'M SORRY? THEY DO IT DURING THE WORKDAY.
SO THEY DO NOT, UNLESS WE CAN ASK FOR THEM TO COME IN A SPECIAL TIME AND CONTRACTING TO DO THAT.
WAS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED? OR WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE, DIDN'T COME TO SCHOOLS AND IT GOES TO THE PERSON WHO, WHO TAKES CARE OF THE POLICY IN THERE? I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AND THIS STANDARD OPERATIONS, SO IF YOU WERE TO ASK OTHER DISTRICTS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT A ONE-OFF THAT WE'RE DOING.
THIS IS STANDARD OPERATIONS AS FOR HOW TA
[00:05:01]
INTERACTS WITH THE SCHOOL.THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY AS WELL.
SO THAT'S STANDARD OPERATION FOR TAS V TO COME IN AND SPEAK WITH WHO? THE POLICY LEAD.
AND THE POLICY LEAD FOR US IS WHO? DR.
AND WHO IS THE POLICY CONSULTANT? UH, HER NAME IS SARANA.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE ONE, SORRY, I'M SORRY.
I SAW HER NAME WRITTEN DOWN ON THE WEBSITE.
IT'S C O N Y E R S IS THE LAST TIME I WAS TRYING TO GET THEIR FIRST NAMES.
UM, AND SO WHEN WE REQUESTED FOR A COMMITTEE MEETING THE COM, MY UNDERSTANDINGS THERE, UM, AS FAR AS THE POLICY COMMITTEE, WE ADDRESS THE POLICIES.
THERE'S, UM, ANY CHANGES, UPDATES, WHAT HAVE YOU, THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE, WHICH I CAN KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHERE THE UPDATES COME IN HERE.
SO NOW THAT THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED, ONCE WE HAVE THIS, WE GO THROUGH THE UPDATES OR WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED FROM TAS B THEN FROM THERE WE TAKE THAT, UM, I GUESS ALONG WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, CONCERNS OR CHANGES ON A LOCAL LEVEL AND MAKE, AND WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER COMMITTEE, I GUESS TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD.
USUALLY, USUALLY THIS IS THE DISCUSSION, BUT UH, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE TIME THEY'RE UM, LIKE STATE CHANGES MM-HMM.
SO THEN WE CHANGE, UH, GO THROUGH THE LOCAL.
AND THEN, UM, ONCE IT'S PRESENTED TO THE BOARD, THEN USUALLY THE POLICY CHAIR KIND OF, UH, LEADS THAT DISCUSSION LAST YEAR THAT WAS TRUSTEE JONES, THIS YEAR'S TRUSTEE STEVENSON.
AND THEN, UM, MAKE SURE ANY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED, UH, FROM THERE DURING THE ONE 19.
CUZ MY WHOLE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE COMMITTEE WAS AND WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE ALSO WITH THE ONE 19 AND HAVING THE MEETING, THOSE WERE TWO, TWO DIFFERENT MEETINGS.
TWO SEPARATE MEETINGS BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING.
AND IS THAT NOT, OR IS THAT STILL IS TO TAKE PLACE? RIGHT.
USUALLY THEY'RE, UH, COMBINED, BUT IT'S HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL WANNA MOVE AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING.
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP EVERYBODY HERE LATE.
BUT THE WHOLE REASON WE CALL A MEETING IN THE FIRST PLACE, A LOT OF GUYS OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, BUT WE DON'T.
SO WE WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NUTS AND BOLTS ARE, HOW THIS THING REALLY WORK.
WHAT'S THE, THE INS AND OUTS OF POLICY.
PERHAPS YOU WANNA REIMAGINE, PERHAPS NOT, BUT AS THE COMMITTEE, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO.
SO I GUESS THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TRY TO HOLD ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING.
WE'LL TALK TO OUR COLLEAGUE AND WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
UH, MR. CARLEY, MR. VICE PRESIDENT
I THINK THERE'S THE CONNECTION.
YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? OKAY.
YOU CAN, WE CAN HEAR YOU TRUST JONES.
IF YOU SPEAK, I THINK TRUSTEE MOORE HAS SOMETHING.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH CHAIR FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
SO I DO SAY AS, UH, IS MANDATED THAT WE DO SO MANY TRAINING HOURS AT BOARD MEMBERS EACH YEAR.
AND OUR TRAINING FOR POLICY COMES IS COMING UP ON THE 23RD.
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GO TO THE CONVENTION, THERE WILL BE A SECTION DIRECTLY FOR POLICY.
SO WE CAN CLEARLY ON LOCAL POLICY, WE CANNOT STRAY AWAY FROM LEGAL POLICY.
AND LEGAL POLICY COMES FROM LEGISLATION.
AND SO ACTUALLY WHEN THEY COME TO US WITH POLICY UPDATES, THEN THOSE ARE POLICIES THAT HAVE WENT THROUGH THE CHAIN OF LEGISLATION AND OUR LOCAL POLICY HAS TO MIRROR THAT.
NOW, ONE THING THAT I HEARD THAT POSSIBLY COULD HAPPEN, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN AS A BOARD THAT WE GO THROUGH OUR POLICY BECAUSE SOME OF IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN QUITE A WHILE TO VERIFY, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S STILL CURRENT WITH LEGISLATION ON OUR LOCAL POLICY.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT, AND YOU MAY WANT TO BRING THAT CHAIR TO THE BOARD, UH, TO SET UP WORKSHOPS ON GOING THROUGH OUR POLICY, ESPECIALLY LOOK AT POLICY MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD.
THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF US
[00:10:01]
HAVING THE POLICY NEEDED.WELL WHAT, WHAT WAS DISCUSSED? NOT THIS ONE 18, BUT REEVALUATING POLICY, REVIEWING AND SEEING WHAT NEEDS TO, NEEDED TO BE UPDATED OR CHANGES.
BECAUSE THERE'S AN UNDERSTANDING.
THERE'S THINGS THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE THROUGH THE COVID THAT IS NO LONGER COVID ISSUE AND THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT.
THERE'S A LOT OF UPDATES THAT NEED TO BE MADE.
THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE.
AND IT WAS PREVIOUS THAT SHOULD BE DONE AS A WHOLE BOARD, NOT A COMMITTEE.
AND SO THERE, UM, SO AS FAR AS THE POLICY COMMITTEE, HAVING A DISCUSSION, HAVE A DISCUSSION AND THEN BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD.
SO JUST LIKE WE'RE HAVING, WE'RE HAVING THIS MEETING TODAY, THAT WOULD, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT ALL OF THIS WAS GONNA BE BASED ON, OUR POLICY IS SO LARGE, WE WILL BE MEETING ON ONE SECTION OF THE POLICY FOR A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE WE GET TO ANOTHER ONE.
AND IT'S SO MUCH WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DATE.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT LEGAL, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT POLICY.
THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING THAT IT COULD REALLY BENEFIT US IN DOING IT IN A WORKSHOP.
NOW TSB MANDATE THAT WE HAVE POLICY UPDATES, THEY MANDATE THAT WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THAT.
AND SO WE AS REPRESENTATIVES, TBY MANDATES, WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE UPDATES.
IT'S A MANDATE THAT WE HAVE BOARD TRAINING.
IF WE DON'T HAVE OUR REQUIRED BOARD TRAINING, WE CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE BOARD.
I THOUGHT FOR US TEXAS SCHOOL, THEY YOU TO SAY SOMETHING.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME FOR ANYTHING.
EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK.
THAT'S THE WAY WE ROLL, RIGHT? EVERYBODY'S, EVERYBODY'S THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS ARE IMPORTANT.
I JUSTAND I WILL JUST BE ENCOURAGED.
IF EVERYBODY'S READY? YES SIR.
UH, THIS IS POLICY UPDATE ONE 19.
AND SO WE HAVE, UH, NINE POLICIES THAT WERE, UH, SENT TO US FROM, UH, TAG B AS CPC LOCAL DMA, E A A.
UM, AND THESE ARE ALL IN YOUR FOLDER.
AND AT YOUR REQUEST WE DID EMAIL IT TO THE ENTIRE BOARD TRUSTEE STEVENTON, UM, E H A A E H B E H B A A E H B B E I F F S B A AND F F H.
AND THESE ARE ALL LOCAL, UM, UPDATES.
UH, THE CPC JUST TO GIVE THE TITLES IS OFFICE MANAGEMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT.

EIF, LOCAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT SLASH GRADUATION, FBA, LOCAL CRISIS INTERVENTION, TRAUMA INFORMED CARE, F H, LOCAL STUDENT WELFARE, FREEDOM FROM DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION.
AND SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TO, UM, FIRST, UH, PLAY, THERE'S ABOUT A NINE MINUTE, UH, TASB VIDEO THAT WOULD GIVE THE OVERVIEW AND THEN, UH, WE CAN BREAK DOWN INTO, UM, THE REQUIREMENTS.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE PACKET THAT THE, UM, BLUE IS THE ADDITIONS, AND THEN OF COURSE THE RED ARE THE CHANGES FROM THE TRACK CHANGES.
CAN WE, BEFORE WE DO THAT, CAN WE SEE A TRUSTEE JONES? YES.
TRUSTEE JONES, CAN YOU SPEAK
YOU, ME? YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
WELL, THEY HAVE HIM CALL YOU ON YOUR PHONE.
I D WHO'S JUST LET YOU KNOW YOU SEE ME LIFE.
AND THIS PHONE THAT IN MY HOUSE.
UH, I GUESS TO SPEAK TO THE FIRST TOPIC THAT, UH, TRUSTEE RICH WAS SPEAKING TO AS RELATES TO THE, THE COMMITTEE, UH, AND WHAT OUR
[00:15:01]
CHARGE IS GONNA BE.I THINK ONE, THE CHAT WE UPDATED, ONE ITEM THAT WE DO HAVE TO ADDRESS IS BECAUSE OF WHETHER THE OTHER PART ON THE AGENDA SHOULD FOUR, FOR US TO ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS THAT, UH, SIR STEVENSON WANTS US TO ADDRESS TO KIND OF PUT THE POLICY COMMITTEE INTO A CERTAIN FORMAT FOR FUTURE MEETINGS, UH, CAN GET TRUSTEE MARS ALSO MENTIONED ABOUT US REVIEWING, UH, POLICY THAT ARE OVER FIVE YEARS OLD.
UH, SO I GUESS THAT CAN BE THAT SECOND PART OF THIS AGENDA ONCE WE GO THROUGH THIS PART.
THAT CONCLUDES MY STATEMENT A THIS ONE.
SO NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UM, PLAY THIS VIDEO FOR UPDATE ONE 19.
HELLO AND WELCOME TO A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE LOCAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED IN UPDATE ONE 19 PRESENTED BY TASB POLICY SERVICE UPDATE ONE 19 COVERS RECOMMENDED LOCAL POLICY REVISIONS TO ADDRESS NEW LAWS FROM THE 87 LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION AND FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD CALLED SESSIONS.
OTHER REVISIONS INCLUDED IN THIS UPDATE ARE IN RESPONSE TO REVISIONS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
WHILE NOT COVERED IN THIS PUBLICATION, MANY OF THE LEGAL POLICIES INCLUDED IN THIS UPDATE WERE ALSO AFFECTED BY LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES.
YOU SHOULD ALSO REVIEW YOUR DISTRICT'S CUSTOMIZED UPDATE ONE 19 MATERIALS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT LEGAL POLICIES PROVIDE THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR KEY AREAS OF DISTRICT OPERATIONS.
THEY ARE NOT ADOPTED BY THE BOARD POLICY.
C P C LOCAL GOVERNS THE DISTRICT'S RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
REVISIONS TO THIS POLICY ARE RECOMMENDED TO ADDRESS NEW RULES THAT THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION OR T SLACK ADOPTED TO ADDRESS THE MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS.
THE RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE DELEGATES, THE RECORDS MANAGEMENT OFFICER, THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DEVELOP PROCEDURES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE ELECTRONIC RECORDS.
THESE PROCEDURES MUST COMPLY WITH THE DISTRICT'S RECORDS, CONTROL SCHEDULES, AND MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RULES.
WE HAVE INCLUDED IN THE REGULATIONS RESOURCE MANUAL UPDATED SAMPLE PROCEDURES ON THIS TOPIC.
THE NEW TEXT IN DMA LOCAL IS RECOMMENDED TO COMPLY WITH SENATE BILL 1267 FROM THE REGULAR SESSION.
THAT LEGISLATION REQUIRES THE BOARD TO ANNUALLY REVIEW THE STATE BOARD FOR EDUCATOR CERTIFICATION OR PEC CLEARING HOUSE.
THE PEC CLEARING HOUSE IS A COLLECTION OF BEST PRACTICES AND INDUSTRY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES THE BOARD TO ADOPT A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY BASED ON THE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE CLEARING HOUSE.
TO AVOID INCLUDING THE EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING DETAILS IN BOARD POLICY.
THE RECOMMENDED DMA LOCAL TAX REQUIRES THE CREATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHERE ALL OF THESE DETAILS WILL BE FOUND.
THE BOARD MUST ANNUALLY APPROVE THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICH MUST MEET THREE REQUIREMENTS.
FIRST, THE PLAN MUST BE GUIDED BY THE CLEARING HOUSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
SECOND, THE PLAN MUST NOTE ANY DIFFERENCES FROM THE CLEARING HOUSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THIRD, THE PLAN MUST INCLUDE A SCHEDULE OF REQUIRED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
THE BILL REQUIRES ASPECT TO PUBLISH THE CLEARING HOUSE BY JUNE 1ST, 2022, AND DISTRICTS TO ADOPT A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY BY AUGUST 1ST, 2022.
TASB POLICY AND LEGAL SERVICES RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD ADOPT D A LOCAL AND TO PROVE THE DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN BY AUGUST 1ST OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THEREAFTER, TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.
INCLUDED IN POLICY E H A A LOCAL ARE NEW PROVISIONS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BASED ON SENATE BILL NINE FROM THE SECOND COLD SESSION.
THE LEGISLATION IMPOSES SEVERAL REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO INSTRUCTION ON THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DATING, VIOLENCE, AND SEX TRAFFICKING.
[00:20:01]
A BOARD POLICY ON ADOPTING CURRICULUM MATERIALS RELATED TO THESE TOPICS.THE RECOMMENDED POLICY PROVISIONS FOLLOW THE REQUIRED STEPS, INCLUDING BOARD ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION TO CONVEN THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL OR SHAQ TO HOLD MEETINGS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD AT A PUBLIC MEETING.
THE BOARD MUST THEN CONFIRM THAT THE SHAQ RECOMMENDATIONS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IN LAW BEFORE TAKING ACTION BY A RECORD VOTE.
THIS IS SIMILAR TO LANGUAGE PROVIDED IN THIS POLICY AT UPDATE ONE 18.
TO ADDRESS THE APPROVAL OF HUMAN SEXUALITY INSTRUCTION AND PARENTAL CONSENT, THE REGULATIONS RESOURCE MANUAL INCLUDES A SAMPLE BOARD RESOLUTION FOR CONVENING THE SHACK IN A SAMPLE PARENTAL CONSENT FORM.
IN RESPONSE TO TPA POLICY REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE T SPECIAL EDUCATION CYCLICAL MONITORING ABUSE, TWO NEW LOCAL POLICIES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR INCLUSION AND THE POLICY HANDLE E H B AND E H B A A POLICY.
E H B LOCAL REQUIRES THE DISTRICT TO PROVIDE REGULAR TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS OF STUDENTS WITH DYSLEXIA.
E H B A A LOCAL ENSURES THAT A STUDENT WHO IS TRANSITIONING FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION HAS AN INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE CHILD'S THIRD BIRTHDAY TASB POLICY SERVICE BOARD ADOPT THESE POLICIES IN ADVANCE OF THE SCHEDULED SPECIAL EDUCATION MONITORING REVIEW.
THE RECOMMENDED REVISION TO POLICY E H E B LOCAL IS PROMPTED BY HOUSE BILL 1525 FROM THE REGULAR SESSION.
THIS BILL REMOVED THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR DISTRICT TO ANNUALLY CERTIFY TO THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION THAT THE DISTRICT'S GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TEXAS STATE PLAN FOR THE EDUCATION OF GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS, THE CORRESPONDING PROVISION AND EH B B LOCAL IS RECOMMENDED FOR DELE POLICY.
EIF LOCAL INCLUDES NEW TAX RECOMMENDED TO COMPLY WITH AMENDED ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RULES.
THE NEW RULES REQUIRE A MORE POLICY TO ADDRESS THE METHODS BY WHICH A STUDENT CAN CONFIRM COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF A FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION.
COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF THIS APPLICATION IS A REQUIREMENT TO GRADUATE.
THE RECOMMENDED TEXT ALIGNS WITH TE GUIDANCE AND ADDRESSES METHODS FOR BOTH THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID OR FAFSA AND THE TEXAS APPLICATION FOR STATE FINANCIAL AID OR TASFA.
ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON THIS TOPIC CAN BE FOUND ON THET WEBSITE.
THE REGULATIONS RESOURCE MANUAL HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE SAMPLE PROCEDURES REGARDING ITS FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS IN POLICY F F B A LOCAL, A REFERENCE TO THE DISTRICT'S BOARD APPROVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS RECOMMENDED.
THE PROPOSED REVISION ADDRESSES SENATE BILL 1267 FROM THE REGULAR SESSION, WHICH REQUIRES TRAINING AND TRAUMA INFORMED CARE TO BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOARD'S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY.
THE SAME BILL ALSO REPEALED THE REQUIREMENT FOR A DISTRICT TO ANNUALLY REPORT TO DEA THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WHO PARTICIPATED IN TRAUMA INFORMED CARE TRAINING.
THEREFORE, WE RECOMMEND DELETING THAT PROVISION FROM THE POLICY.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICY F F H LOCAL ADDRESS A NEW BOARD POLICY REQUIREMENT FROM SENATE BILL NINE, WHICH WAS ENACTED DURING THE SECOND COLD SESSION.
UPON RECEIVING A REPORT OF DATING VIOLENCE THAT INVOLVES ITS STUDENTS, THE DISTRICT IS REQUIRED TO IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE PARENT OF THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED AS THE ALLEGED VICTIM OR PERPETRATOR TO RECOMMEND A TEXT AT NOTICE TO PARENTS MEETS THIS REQUIREMENT.
THE NEW LAW ALSO REQUIRES THAT THE DISTRICT'S POLICY INCLUDE REPORTING PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF DATING VIOLENCE.
AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT DATING VIOLENCE IS NOT TOLERATED AT SCHOOL.
NO FURTHER CHANGES ARE RECOMMENDED REGARDING THESE ELEMENTS BASED ON THE DISTRICT'S EXISTING F F H LOCAL POLICY PROVISIONS, WHICH INCLUDE REPORTING PROCEDURES IN A STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION THAT SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS STATED VIOLENCE.
THE REMAINING REVISIONS ARE RECOMMENDED TO CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF PROHIBITIVE CONDUCT AND THE DISTRICT'S RESPONSE TO SUCH CONDUCT THAT COVERS
[00:25:01]
THE LOCAL POLICIES AND UPDATE ONE 19.WE HOPE YOU FIND THIS OVERVIEW HELPFUL.
SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT FURTHER CLARIFICATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT YOUR ASSIGNED POLICY CONSULTANT AT THE TAS B POLICY SERVICE WEBSITE.
SO THAT GIVES A, UM, OVERVIEW VIDEO FROM, UH, TASB.
SO IN THE, UH, LARGER PACKET WITH THE POLICY COMPARISONS, UM, THERE WE WOULD SEE THE ADDITIONS AND UPDATES OR DELETIONS FOR, UH, THIS POLICY.
THE FIRST ONE IS CPC, LOCAL OFFICE MANAGEMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT.
AND SO IT'S STATED ON THE VIDEO, THIS IS, UM, UPDATES FROM THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION.
UM, SO THESE ARE FOR DISTRICT, DISTRICT MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS.
AND SO IT INCLUDES THE ADDITIONS AND CHANGES THERE.
UM, MOST OF 'EM ARE, UH, YOU KNOW, GRAMMATICAL AT THE TOP OR JUST CLARIFICATION, UH, RECORDS, ADMINIS ADMINISTRATOR, UM, PUBLIC INFORMATION.
THEY JUST, UH, MADE THAT LOWER CASE INSTEAD OF CAPITALIZING IT INFORMATION COORDINATOR AND THEN WENT DOWN TO SUPERINTENDENT.
AND THEN ELECTRONIC RECORDS, UM, SHOWING WHAT THOSE PROCEDURES ARE, UM, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE OBJECTIVES, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE, THE MAINTENANCE OF IT, AND THEN MAKING SURE NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL, UM, HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.
AND THERE'S NOT ANYTHING ON PAGE TWO OF TWO.
WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CPC LOCAL? NOT AT THE MOMENT.
THERE'S JUST ONE THING HOW FFA REQUIRED THAT'S NEW TO ME.
THEY, THEY ACTUALLY REQUIRE EVERY STUDENT.
WHY, WHY I THINK IS BECAUSE ONE, UM, SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE ALREADY COUNSELED, HAVE ALREADY BEEN ENCOURAG STUDENTS BEFORE THEY GRADUATE OR GET TO THE GRADUATION PART BECAUSE IT'S THE FINANCIAL, UM, NEED AND SOME CHILDREN NEED IT.
AND NOW ONLY THING IS SAYING THAT WE GONNA DO IT IN POLICY TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH STUDENT, UH, KNOWS THAT AND THE SCHOOL THAT CAN ONLY PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL NOW PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY INSTEAD OF SOMEBODY COMING AND SAY, CAN YOU HELP ME? AND IT WAS ALSO, UH, AN ERA OF ON HEEL OF PEOPLE SELECTING WHO FILLED OUT THE PAST MM-HMM.
THAT IS A REQUIREMENT, UM, THAT THEY FILLED THOSE OUT AND JUST IN CASE THEY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE NOW THEY HAVE THAT INFORMATION THERE.
SO IF THEY DO, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO THAT.
AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HELPS 'EM WITH THAT.
SO WE DID HAVE A LOT OF DISCRIMINATION GOING ON WITH THEM.
UM, AND MOVING IN THE VEIN OF COLLEGE CAREER, MILITARY READY, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES SOME, SOME PARTS OF THE FAFSA MAY BE ABLE TO USE TO BE USED IN SCHOOLS OTHER THAN, UH, TRADITIONAL COLLEGE.
AND SO IN ORDER TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, OKAY, I WANT TO GO TO, UM, SCHOOL, RIGHT? I WAS GONNA CALL IT A TRADE SCHOOL, BUT IF THEY WANTED TO DO THAT, UM, AAFT CAN HELP THEM THAT WAY.
UM, EVEN IF THEY WENT TO, LET'S SAY A BARBER SCHOOL OR A BEAUTY SCHOOL, UM, AND THEY HAD TO ACQUIRE A LOAN, YOU HAVE TO DO THE FAF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET A LOAN.
DOESN ALSO HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON, UM, UH, IS IT THE DALLAS COLLEGE PROMISE? DALLAS.
I WILL SAY FOR US, YOU HAVE TO, UM, COMPLETE THAT AS ONE OF THE STEPS.
AND, BUT YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS REALLY THE, THE OPENING OF THE ACCESS AND THE OPPORTUNITY, THE COLLEGE CAREER.
YOU MAY NOT NEED IT FROM MILITARY READINESS UNLESS YOU GO TO A MIDDLE MILITARY SCHOOL PRIOR TO.
BUT, UM, GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS IS NOW IT'S A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
AND STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS CAN GET A TWO YEAR COLLEGE DEGREE WITH BOOKS.
BUT THE PARENT WOULD HAVE TO KNOW THAT FROM EITHER UNDERSTANDING
[00:30:01]
OUR DPA OR THERE IS A SPECIALIST THAT WILL, YOU DON'T GET THAT INFORMATION FROM THE SCHOOL.BUT WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR LAST EXITING ART MEETING, YOU HAVE SOMEONE FROM, UM, EMAIL TO ME, OH, IT'S LIKE THAT, UM, REHABILITATION, UM, I'VE LOST THE NAME OF IT NOW, BUT THEY USUALLY COME TO THOSE TRANSITION ART MEETINGS TO EXPLAIN HOW CHILDREN THAT ARE RECEIVING SPECIAL SERVICES ARE ABLE TO, BUT YOU GOTTA FEEL THAT FAST, FAST STILL.
IT DOESN'T ELIMINATE GOING THAT, THAT FAA I WAS JUST WONDERING.
IT DIDN'T, IT SEEMED A LITTLE BIT OFF TO BE REQUIRING ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING.
IF THE PARENTS GOING INCORPORATE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO.
IT'S A, IT IS, IT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THEY IDENTIFY AND REGISTER IF, BUT AS FAR AS THE PARENT IS CONCERNING THE CHILD IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE, I, UH, THEY ARE, UM, PROVIDED WITH THAT INFORMATION AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY PROVIDED AND KEPT RECORD OF IT.
BUT AS A PARENT AND A STUDENT, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THEY DO NOT CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH OR WANT TO DO, THEY DON'T HAVE TO, THEY CAN OPT OUT OF IT.
THAT'S MAKING SURE, I FIGURE THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE ASKING, BUT IT IS MAKING SURE THAT THE DISTRICT BE WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IN THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AS IT RELATES TO THAT STUDENT.
BECAUSE A LOT OF STUDENTS, AND I'VE SEEN IT HERE WHERE A LOT OF STUDENTS HAVE BEEN PRETTY SELECTED OR BEEN TOLD TO DO ONE THING VERSUS THE OTHER.
THEY HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN GIVEN THEIR OPTIONS.
NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NATIONAL, BUT I'M JUST STATING WHAT I SEE PERSONALLY.
MAYBE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
SO I, UM, SO, YOU KNOW, I I YOU ARE RIGHT MS. WOODFIELD.
UM, BUT IT'S JUST ONE THING, THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IS THERE.
BECAUSE THE STATE DON'T HAVE TO FORCE THE DISTRICT, IT'S JUST LAW PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY.
SO I WENT AHEAD AND SKIPPED AHEAD, UM, TO THAT ONE TRUSTEE, UH, STEVENSON, EIF LOCAL IS THAT ONE THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GRADUATION.
AND SO JUST AS Y'ALL WERE, UM, DISCUSSING, UM, JUST REQUIRES THE CONFIRMATION, UM, NOW FOR, UM, THAT STUDENT, UM, AND ALL THE BENEFITS THAT WE KNOW, UM, THAT THEY CAN HAVE.
AND THEY DO HAVE THOSE, UH, DEADLINES.
SO THAT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, UM, THAT THEY HAVE THOSE COMPLETED.
AND SO, UH, THEY, THE DISTRICT, OUR DISTRICT SHALL ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING, A SCREENSHOT THAT INCLUDES THE PROCESS DATE FILLED AND APPLIED TEXAS COUNCIL SUITE FOR THAT DATA THAT, UH, HOUSED THERE.
TWO IS NOTIFICATION, UM, COPY OF THE EMAIL, UM, SOMETHING US DEPARTMENT VERIFYING COMPLETION.
THREE, A COPY OR SCREENSHOT OF THAT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PAGE FOR THE FOSSA.
AND THEN FOUR, A SCREENSHOT OF ANOTHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PAGE, UM, FOR TEXAS, IF WE WANT TO USE THAT FROM THOSE INSTITUTIONS THAT OFFER AN ELECTRONIC FORM.
AND THEN FIVE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RECEIPT FROM A HIGHER ED INSTITUTION, AND THEN A COPY OF FINANCIAL AID AWARD LETTER FROM A I E.
AND THEN, UM, THE EIF LEGAL, UH, POLICY, WHICH WE'RE NOT HERE FOR, BUT JUST THE LOCAL, UM, WOULD BE, WILL GIVE LANGUAGE TO, FOR STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE NOT TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT ONE, UM, WHAT, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO THERE.
UM, SO THE DISTRICT SHALL MAINTAIN THIS INDIVIDUAL STUDENT DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED AS PART OF THE EDUCATION RECORD.
UM, AND THAT'S IN FL THAT TEXAS FOR, SORRY FOR JUMPING AGAIN.
OH, THEN WE WENT TO, UH, I'M SORRY.
THIS WAS THE ONE I SAID THE TOP.
THEY, THEY CHANGED SOME LOWER CASE THEN WE WENT THROUGH, UM, JUST, UH, MAINTAINING THE RECORDS.
AND WHEN, UH, FAR AS RECORD MANAGEMENT, THAT IS ON THE SUPERINTENDENT LEVEL.
[00:35:01]
THAT'S BASED ON OUR MEETINGS AS WELL, OR FOR THE, UH, RECORDS MANAGEMENT OFFICER.IS THAT WHAT, WHICH PART YOU'RE REFERRING? SORRY, PERIOD.
UM, SO NEXT WE HAVE A DMA LOCAL, WHICH IS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED, UM, STAFF DEVELOPMENT.
UH, SO THIS WAS PART OF, UH, CENTER BILL 1267, THE REGULAR SESSION, UM, FOR PEC BASICALLY TO ANNUALLY REVIEW THAT INFORMATION THAT'S IN THEIR CLEARINGHOUSE REGARDING THESE BEST PRACTICES AND TO ADOPT THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY FOR TRAINING AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE CLEARING HOUSE.
UM, MOST OF THAT INFORMATION IS, IS DONE, YOU KNOW, UH, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ANNUAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING THAT, UH, INDIVIDUALS TAKE.
UM, I KNOW ONE THING IN THE CLEARING HOUSE WOULD BE LIKE, UH, THE TRAUMA INFORMED CARE LIKE GRIEVANCE.
UM, SO I, I, I, HAVE I PULLED THEM UP? YES.
AND YOU ALL APPROVE LIKE THE CYBERSECURITY TRAINING THAT WE HAVE TO DO, THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, ANYTHING THAT'S AROUND OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, THOSE, THOSE POPULATIONS.
UM, BILINGUAL, EMERGING BILINGUAL.
UM, OTHER TOPICS COULD BE, UM, LIKE THERE IS A STATE REQUIREMENT AROUND, UH, READING ACADEMY FOR K THREE TEACHERS.
THE PRACTICE IN OUR DISTRICT HAS BEEN K FIVE TEACHERS GO THROUGH IT AND PRINCIPALS.
AND SO THESE ARE ALL TELL PASS TRAINING, THE MENTOR TRAINING THINGS AROUND U UIL, WHICH IS CPR DATING VIOLENCE.
WE TALKED ABOUT TRAUMA INFORM, UM, ALSO LIKE OUR TEST ADMINISTRATOR TRAINING.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE MANDATED BY 1267 OR RECOMMENDED AS BEST PRACTICE TO GO THROUGH THAT.
AND, UM, SO THIS POLICY WOULD BASICALLY SAY THAT GUIDED BY WHATEVER SBE SAYS IS, UM, BEST PRACTICE, UM, THAT WE ARE TO ADHERE THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S DONE.
UM, AND THAT WAS ALL IN SENATE BILL 1267, ALSO IN HOUSE BILL 1118.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, SOME OF THESE HAVE COME BEFORE YOU AS SINGLETONS, UM, BECAUSE WE KNEW WE WERE REQUIRED BY THE SENATE BILL TO DO IT, BUT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE A BOARD POLICY THAT SAID YOU WILL DO IT.
WE DID IT BECAUSE IT IS BEST PRACTICE TO COME TO THE BOARD AND SAY, WE'VE DONE CYBER SECURITY TRAINING.
OR TRAUMA INFORMED, OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER.
BUT, UM, THIS POLICY BASICALLY SAYS THAT YOU ALL REQUIRE IT OF US, THAT IT'S NOT JUST US DOING IT IN GOOD FAITH, THAT THE BOARD SUPPORTS US, US DOING THIS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY OUTLINE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
AND NOTICE IT SAID INCLUDE A SCHEDULE OF REQUIRED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES.
AND SO WHAT WE CAN DO, OR YOU KNOW, IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD AFTER YOU ALL GO THROUGH THIS IS YEARLY COME TO YOU AND SAY, UH, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR OR AT WHATEVER PART OF THE YEAR, THESE ARE THE REQUIRED TRAININGS THAT WE'RE SAYING THAT EACH SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, I'M SORRY, I'M TRYING TO PUT Y'ALL IN THE 12 HOURS OF TRAINING
JUST TO CLARIFY, WE DO NOT HAVE A SET POLICY FOR THIS, UM, THE WAY ON THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE, FOR SCHEDULING, I GUESS LIKE IN RECOMMENDATION OR REQUIREMENTS, SHALL I SAY.
SO NOW IT, IT IS REQUIRED NOW THAT WE BRING IT TO YOU.
BEFORE WE, WE HAD THE PD PLAN, BUT NOW IT'S REQUIRED.
UH, NEXT WE'LL GO TO E H A A LOCAL, WHICH IS THE BASIC INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM REQUIRED INSTRUCTION AT, UM, ALL LEVELS.
UM, THIS IS THE SECOND CALLED SESSION, UM, SB NINE.
AND SO THIS GIVES THE STEPS REQUIRED BY LAW IN COURT, INCLUDING BOARD ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION TO CONVENE WITH THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.
AND THAT'S THE SHACK, UM, TO HOLD MEETINGS.
[00:40:01]
PART OF THOSE ADDITIONS IN HERE IS RELATING TO CHILD ABUSE, FAMILY VIOLENCE, DATING, VIOLENCE, AND SEX TRAFFICKING.AND SO NOW IT REQUIRES A BOARD, UM, TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION, UM, I MEAN THE DISTRICT SHACK TO RECOMMEND CURRICULUM MATERIALS FOR THAT INSTRUCTION.
UM, THE SHACK COMMITTEE WOULD HOLD AT LEAST TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS AND COMPLY WITH ANY INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT IN LAW THAT'S SUITABLE FOR THE SUBJECT AND GRADE LEVEL.
AND THEN ALSO PRESENT RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD.
THE SHAQ COMMITTEE WOULD AT A PUBLIC MEETING AND AFTER THE BOARD, UH, ENSURES RECOMMENDATIONS, MEET THE STANDARDS IN LAW, THEN YOU'LL TAKE ACTION ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY A RECORD VOTE AT A PUBLIC MEETING.
AND SO, UM, THAT IS NOW, UH, BASED ON THE INSTRUCTION OF PREVENTION OF, UH, THESE CHANGES FOR REQUIRED INSTRUCTION.
CAN, YEAH, CAN WE GO BACK JUST A MINUTE? YES, SIR.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE D DP LEGAL MM-HMM.
IS THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE FROM, UH, IS THAT FROM, UM, THAT, UH, WERE THE E H A A LOCAL? UH, WELL, ANY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE IS FINE.
WHAT I'M WONDERING ABOUT IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ITSELF, WHERE IT COMES FROM, HOW OFTEN IT'S REVISED, AND WHERE I COULD FIND THE ENTIRE CODE ITSELF.
UM, THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE THAT'S, UM, ONLINE.
SO THAT'S ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE BOOK THAT ONLY IF YOU WANT SEPARATE ONE, THAT BIG BLACK BOOK, YOU HAVE TO BUY IT.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET IT ONLINE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY PAY FOR IT.
SO THEY ONLY GOING TO, OH, NOT THE TAX ADMINISTRATIVE CODE IF YOU OH, WE WANT, SO WHAT ADMINISTRATIVE, WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE CODE ARE THEY REFERRING TO? RIGHT HERE? REVISED ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
PROBABLY WHAT? THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE.
AND THAT COMES FROM THE, EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO GO TO THE PARENT.
AND THAT COMES FROM, THAT'S THE ONE SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.
SO I GUESS THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T FIND IT ONLINE.
SO SHE SAID WE CAN, IT CAN BE ORDERED FOR IT.
IT JUST COMES OUT YOUR BUDGET.
WHY IS IT OUT OF OUR BUDGET FOR US TO HAVE SUPERINTENDENT'S GOT MORE BUDGET AND WE GOT ONCE, ONCE YOU GET IT FOR US,
CAUSE WHEN SHE GOT HERS, IT CAME OUT OF HER BUDGET LAST YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR'S NOT MANDATORY.
SO OUR EMPLOYEES HAVE THEIR OWN ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, SO I ALWAYS GO BACK INTO ACCOUNT.
SO YOU KEEP AN UPDATED COPY HERE, UHHUH.
AND THAT LEADS TO ANOTHER QUESTION.
THE DISTRICT POLICY BOOK, DO YOU MAINTAIN THAT ALSO? IT'S ONLINE.
I THOUGHT THE DISTRICT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAINTAIN A POLICY BILL.
THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO HARD COPY.
THEY CHANGED THAT LAWSUIT YEARS BACK UPDATED.
THAT'S WHY WE GO TO THE TSB UPDATE.
THEY SEND US THE UPDATE AND WE TALK TO THE POLICY CONSULTANT IN ORDER TO UPDATE, THEY UPDATE THE LEGAL PORTION OF IT.
AND THEN I THINK DO YOU OF THEY BELONG OR DO THEY LOOK UPDATE? I THINK THEY UPDATE THAT ONE.
CAUSE THEY DON'T SEND US ANYTHING ANYMORE.
THAT'S JUST HOW, HOW FAR WE WANT TO GET INTO YEAH.
THE TEXAS SCHOOLS, BECAUSE IT'S ALL, THE BOOK IS ABOUT THAT FIT.
SO FOR LOCAL YOU GET IT FROM TE A, WHICH IS IN THAT SAME BOOK HE WAS SPEAKING OF MM-HMM.
IT, IT'S ALL THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODES.
CAN YOU, UM, REQUEST SEND OUT AN EMAIL REQUESTING AND SEE WE ALL WOULD LIKE THAT.
BOOK OR SO YOU ASKING FOR EVERYBODY OR JUST FOR THIS COMMITTEE? I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT'S A COURTESY TO PUT IT OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, UM, POLICY NUMBERS, YES.
SO SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION.
SO ONE THING, HOW MANY, UH, HAVE ONE, HOW OFTEN ARE THESE CODES REVISED? UM, WHEN THERE'S A REVISION, YOU WOULD'VE TO REPRINT THE WHOLE BOOK THEN, WOULDN'T YOU? NO, IT'S AN AMENDMENT.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE IS ALWAYS AMENDED.
ADMINISTRATIVE REVISE THE ADMINIS CODE.
CAUSE THAT BOOK, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO INSERTS OR I HAVE LEGISLATIVE DO IT,
[00:45:01]
BUT THAT'S THE LAW.AND I THINK THERE'S LIKE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
CAUSE LIKE THIS ONE THAT THEY WERE FIRST TALKING ABOUT FOR RECORD MANAGEMENT, THAT'S BASED ON LIKE THE STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION, THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
SO THAT ONE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR RECORDS MANAGEMENT THAN I THINK THE OTHER RECORDS.
I'M NOT SURE HOW LIKE OFTEN PER SE, BUT I JUST KNOW WHEN THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE UPDATES AND THEY SPEAK TO 'EM AT LEGISLATIVE OR, UM, DIFFERENT SENATE GO THROUGH.
WELL, WE THINK THAT WHEN THERE'S A LEGISLATIVE UPDATE THAT THEN IT WOULD BE PUSHED TO US LOCALLY TO UPDATE OUR POLICY IN ORDER FOR US TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LEGISLATION.
AND SO AS THE LEGISLA, AS THE LEGISLA TOWARDS LOOK AT THEIR LAWS, UM, WHATEVER THEIR CYCLE IS THAT THEY DECIDE THAT IT'S GONNA BE A NEW LAW, JUST TO BE HONEST, THEN THEY SAY, THEN TASB LOOKS AT IT AND SAYS, THIS CONFLICTS WITH WHAT WE KNOW LOCALLY IS IN POLICY.
SO NOW LET'S UPDATE SO THAT WE CAN PUSH IT OUT TO HELP LOCAL WAR BEING CONFINEMENT WITH WHAT THE LEGISLATORS HAVE NOW SAID IS THE LAW.
WHAT I PI, TO PIGGY BACK ON WHAT YOU SAID, I SPOKE WITH, UH, TEA AND MY UNDERSTANDING AND WHAT I DID WAS I REGISTERED THERE IS A, UM, UH, AN OPTION FOR YOU TO REGISTER TO RECEIVE COMPLIANCE AND UPDATES AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT SITES.
SO, UM, I PUT IN, I HAVE MY OWN EMAIL THAT I HAVE THAT SENT TO AS WELL, BUT I PUT IT IN WHERE I CAN RECEIVE EMAILS AS FAR AS ANY CHANGES WITHIN LEGISLATION, ANY UPDATES AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
BUT THEY ALSO SEND YOU, UM, A CONTACT INFORMATION.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES HOW THAT APPLIES TO LOCAL OR HOW TO GET IT APPLIED TO LOCAL, YOU'RE ABLE TO, UM, ASK THOSE QUESTIONS.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T, LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY IN THE LEGISLATURE CREATES THOSE PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO.
BUT THAT ENDS UP IN LEGAL POLICY.
NOW, ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
AND SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS WHO DOES WHAT, WHEN DO THEY UPDATE AND ALL OF THAT.
BUT, AND MAYBE IT'S JUST IRRELEVANT ANYWAY, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IS IRRELEVANT.
I THINK IT'S REALLY A GOOD QUESTION.
UM, I, I HAVE NOT SEEN, AND, UM, ATTORNEY ALEXANDER IS ON THERE AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT THERE IS AN EXACT LIKE, CADENCE THAT WE CAN SAY THAT THESE GROUP, THIS GROUP, THEY UPDATE FOR X Y YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR AND THE NEXT YEAR WE'RE GONNA DO THESE GROUP THAT WILL MAKE SENSE THAT WE SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA UPDATE THIS PART OF THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE, BUT THAT'S NOT, I'S START PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT, I'VE SEEN THAT ONLINE ALSO.
SO THE, UM, ORIGINAL EXPLANATORY NOTES, UM, ON YOUR ELECTRONIC FORM, UH, YOU CAN CLICK THERE TOO AND SEE ANY, UM, LIKE THIS ONE IS JUST THE STATE LIBRARY ARCHIVES COMMISSION.
SO, UM, YOU CAN GO THERE TO LOOK AT, UM, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THEIR REVISIONS OR THAT THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY ACTING FOR IN THIS ONE.
WELL, THESE PEOPLE TAKE ADMINISTRATOR LOVE.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY DON'T UPDATE A ALL AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW.
OKAY, SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE.
OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO, UM, EHB, THIS ONE.
AND, UH, THIS ONE IS TO JUST PROVIDE REGULAR TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS, UM, A STUDENT WITH DYSLEXIA.
AND, UH, THEY HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR ONGOING TA, SPECIAL ED CYCLICAL MONITORING REVIEWS.
AND SO YOU'LL JUST SEE THAT THIS ONE WAS, UM, ADDED HERE.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT, HOW OFTEN DO OUR, UM, INSTRUCTORS HAVE TRAINING AND OR ARE THERE ANY CERTIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS, UM, SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CHANGES.
[00:50:01]
SO WE, AT LEAST WITH THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, WE AT LEAST DO ONCE A YEAR.AND IF YOU RECALL AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, WE CAME AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE AROUND SEVENTH GRADE AND IDENTIFYING DYSLEXIA.
WE ALSO HAVE THAT AS AN ELEMENTARY, UH, SUGGESTION IN THE ELEMENTARY, BUT WE ACTUALLY DO THE, THE SCREENING.
SO WE TRAIN ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FOR SURE, UM, OF HOW TO RECOGNIZE IT, WHAT IT MAY LOOK LIKE IN THEIR WORK.
UM, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING DISCUSSION, UM, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, FORMAL TRAINING AROUND DYSLEXIA HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR BEFORE WE RECEIVE CHILDREN.
THIS TO ME SAYS THAT NOW YOU ALL ARE WITH A POLICY.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
RIGHT? WE, WE DID IT BECAUSE IT'S GOOD PRACTICE.
UM, BUT NOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT HAS TO HAPPEN.
ANY MORE QUESTION ON E B? RIGHT? NEXT IS E H B AA LOCAL.
UM, SO THIS ONE, TO ENSURE THAT THE STUDENT WHO'S TRANSITIONING FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION, ECI HAS A I E P DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE CHILD'S THIRD BIRTHDAY.
AND THEN THIS WILL HELP, UM, MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS MEET TA POLICY REQUIREMENTS AGAIN IN THE ONGOING TEA, SPECIAL EDUCATION, CYCLICAL MONITORING REVIEWS.
AND THIS ONE WAS, UH, JUST AN ADDED POLICY SO IT'S NOT IN RED OR BLUE BECAUSE, UM, IT'S AN ADDITION.
AND FOR US, BECAUSE OUR PRE-K PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ONE THAT WE'VE HAD FOR ALL A LONG TIME.
WE, WE'VE DONE THIS, UM, AND HAVE BEEN ABLE, IT SAYS BEFORE THE THIRD BIRTHDAY, BUT WE'VE DONE IT AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES.
SO THIS, THIS, AGAIN, FOR US, FOR THIS DISTRICT IS ONE THAT WE'VE BEEN AHEAD OF THE GAME.
THIS, THIS IS NOW EVERYBODY, UH, IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IT SINCE IT'S A POLICY THAT'S BEEN SENT TO ALL DISTRICTS.
HOW, HOW ARE, WHAT ARE WE DOING OR HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT THIS IS IN FACT BEING COMPLETED OR BEING DONE? THAT TYPE OF GROUP.
UM, RIGHT NOW, UM, SOME OF IT, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THAT'S CALLED A CHILD FIND LIKE PROCESS THAT HAPPENS THROUGH SPECIAL ED.
SO IF THERE ARE SOME, UM, UH, IF A STUDENT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE STATE, THEN THROUGH CHILD, FINE, WE GO THROUGH AND WE ACTUALLY COME AND FIND THE CHILD TO SEE IF THEY ARE BEING SERVICED.
IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP IN ANYBODY ELSE'S RECORDS.
BECAUSE SOME, SOMETIMES SOME STUDENTS, THE PARENTS CAN OPT TO SAY, OKAY, I'M GOING TO DESOTO, EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN LANCASTER.
I CAN TELL YOU THIS PAST YEAR, AND IT WASN'T JUST THIS, THIS AGE GROUP, WE HAD LIKE NINE STUDENTS.
SOME WERE IN, UM, OTHER DISTRICT, SOME WERE IN PRIVATE SCHOOL, SOME WERE HOMESCHOOLED MM-HMM.
UM, BUT WE HAVE TO REPORT THAT BACK TO THE STATE.
THERE WILL BE SOME, UM, JUST TOTAL TRANSPARENCY THAT WE JUST MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT, HAVEN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED AT ALL.
UM, IF A PARENT BRINGS A, A STUDENT IN TO BE IDENTIFIED, UM, THEN, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WE, WE GO THROUGH THE, THE PROCEDURES AND READING THIS ONE THING AGAIN, FULL TRANSPARENCY THAT GOES THROUGH MY MIND IS, UM, AND THIS IS ADDING TO YOUR QUESTION, UH, WHAT DO WE DO IF A PARENT DOESN'T KNOW THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO GET THEIR CHILD IDENTIFIED? UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NOW THIS IS POLICY THAT WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH.
HOW DO WE LET PARENTS KNOW THAT AT BIRTH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CHILD TO, TO GO THROUGH AN IDENTIFICATION PROCESS SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
BARKY, YOU ALL, THE DISTRICT CAN'T BECAUSE IF RIGHT NOW, IF A CHILD HAS A DISABILITY AT BIRTH, THAT'S WHERE THE EARLY CHILDHOOD INVENTION MM-HMM.
YOU ALL WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT.
WELL, THEN WE WOULD KNOW BECAUSE THE DOCTOR, THE DOCTOR WOULD REPORT IT TO THE STATE.
AND THEN WHEN WE DO THE CHILD FINE, THEN WE WOULD KNOW.
I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M JUST SPEAKING AS FAR AS LANCASTER DISTRICT ON A LO ON OUR LEVEL, ON A LOCAL LEVEL WHEN WE HAVE A STUDENT THAT HAS YET TO BE IDENTIFIED.
BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING TO IDEN, YOU KNOW, IDENTIFY THEM? WHAT, WHAT IS IN PLACE AND HOW ARE WE TRAINING, UM, TO HELP IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS? BECAUSE, UM,
[00:55:01]
OF COMMUNICATING THAT WITH THE PARENT AND ALSO HAVING, WHEN BEFORE THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THAT PARENT, HAVING SOMETHING LINED UP TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TO THAT PARENT OR STEPS.NOT JUST SAYING THAT YOUR CHILD MAY BE WHATEVER, X, Y, Z, BUT IF THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT WE PROVIDE AS A DISTRICT OR WHAT HAVE YOU TO IDENTIFY THAT TO DO THE TESTING.
THIS WAS, AND SO I TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE GOT HERE, THERE WAS NO FORMAL PROCESS.
I'M GONNA BE REAL HONEST, THIS, THERE WASN'T MM-HMM.
AND SO WE HAVE NOW, UM, IT'S A MULTI-TIER STUDENT SUPPORT SYSTEM MM-HMM.
IS WHAT THE NATIONAL, UM, YOU KNOW, NAME OF THE SYSTEM IS CALLED.
UM, WE DIDN'T HAVE A, WE DIDN'T HAVE A, OKAY, I'M A, I'M A TEACHER.
I, I, BECAUSE OF MY EXPERTISE, I KNOW MM-HMM.
I COMMUNICATE WITH THE PARENT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AT HOME TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES KIDS JUST CHECK OUT.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR ABILITY.
UM, BUT YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH A PARENT TO GATHER THAT INFORMATION.
WE DID NOT HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS THIS YEAR.
WE DO HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS OF BEING ABLE TO, UM, SEE IF IT IS, UM, YOU KNOW, A SPECIAL ED REFERRAL BECAUSE OF BEHAVIOR.
IS IT BECAUSE OF ABILITY OR DOES THE CHILD JUST NEED SOME EXTRA SUPPORT IN THE CLASSROOM? THERE'S A FOURTH ONE.
MAYBE THE TEACHER NEEDS SOME EXTRA SUPPORT AND THAT'S, AND I SEEN THAT SITUATION WHERE THE CHILD JUST DO NOT THAT'S WITH THEIR TEACHER.
AND IT JUST NEED TO, SO WE, WE DO.
JACKSON HAS A WHOLE LITTLE, I SHOULDN'T MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S A BIG TEAM, BUT IT IS, WE TOOK SOME OF OUR TITLE $1 AND BUILT A FOR OUR STUDENTS AND BUILT A TEAM.
RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST THREE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THE PROCESS, BUT IT IS TO SUPPORT THE CAMPUSES WHERE WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOME ISSUES THAT MAYBE, UM, ON THE CAMPUS THERE WERE MORE, UM, MORE STUDENTS IDENTIFIED MM-HMM.
SO WE KIND OF HAVE THAT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
AND WE'RE REALLY EARLY IN ON THAT.
WE COULD TEST, OKAY,
WHEN YOU SEE A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE RED FOLDERED, OVERLY, IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE STUDENT.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A PERCENTAGE.
CAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT HAS TO BE IDENTIFIED IS WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF THE, UH, STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM THAT IS EXCELLING VERSUS, YOU KNOW, STRUGGLING.
AND THEN YOU HAVE A FEW MAYBE, BUT YOU HAVE OVER THEN IT MAY, IT MAY NOT BE THAT STUDENT.
AND THE OTHER THING TOO IS THAT WE END UP SPENDING TIME AND RESOURCES ON STUDENTS WHO MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED SPECIAL SERVICES WHEN THOSE RESOURCES SHOULD BE GOING TO STUDENTS WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT.
SO WE, UM, IT'S GONNA BE A PROCESS.
IT'S ALSO A LEARNED BEHAVIOR OF THE SYSTEM THAT WE JUST REFER 'EM TO SPECIAL OR WE JUST DO THIS AND IT'S THE KIDS PROBLEM WHEN, UM, IT MAY IN FACT BE A TEACHER ISSUE, BUT WE GOTTA ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
SO, I'M SORRY TO TAKE Y'ALL WAY OFF.
UM, SO NEXT WE HAVE E H B B LOCAL SPECIAL PROGRAMS, GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS.
UM, SO THIS WAS, UM, HOUSE BILL 1525 REGULAR SESSION.
UM, SO NOW IT REMOVES THAT STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR THE DISTRICT TO ANNUALLY CERTIFY TO THE COMMISSIONER EDUCATION, THE DT PROGRAM.
UM, AND SO IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE DELETE THAT.
AND SO IN E H B B, YOU'LL SEE THE DELETION OF THAT UNDER FUNDING.
THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING BESIDES, UM, THE, JUST HER UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM FOR DATE.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AT THE VERY TOP THEY ADDED, THERE WERE SCHOOL COUNSELORS JUST TO SPECIFY THAT AND THEN REMOVE THAT, UH, DELETION THAT REQUIRES US TO REMOVE THAT STATUTORY REQUIREMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? NO.
UM, I JUST HAVE A STATEMENT THAT ALL OF THIS IS FEDERAL, SO IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
THE BOARD DON'T REALLY HAVE NO SAY TO DISTRICT.
UM, WE ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT EIF.
[01:00:01]
ANYTHING WE NEED TO REVISIT ON EIF? I'M GOOD.UM, THE NEXT IS, UH, I KNOW WE HAD, SHE HAD A HARD STOP AT 6 45.
UM, F F B A IS CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAUMA INFORMED CARE.
SO SENATE BILL 1267, UM, REQUIRES THIS TRAINING.
AND SO IN HERE, YOU CAN JUST SEE ON THE F F B A UPDATE, IT JUST INSERTED AND THE BOARD APPROVED DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND THEN IT REMOVED THE ANNUAL REPORT.
NEXT IS F F H, LOCAL STUDENT WELFARE FREEDOM FROM DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION.
UH, SO THIS ONE IS THE VIDEO STATED, UH, NEW BOARD POLICY REQUIREMENTS, SB NINE SECOND CALLED SESSION.
UM, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TEXT AT A NOTICED APPEARANCE REQUIRES A DISTRICT UPON RECEIPT OF A REPORT OF DATING VIOLENCE, TO IMMEDIATELY, UM, CONTACT THAT PARENT OR NOTIFY THE PARENT OF, YOU KNOW, OF THE STUDENT IDENTIFIED AS THE ALLEGED VICTIM OR PERPETRATOR.
UM, SO IN HERE WE CAN SEE THAT AT THE TOP IT TAKES OFF ON PAGE ONE OF 10, IT, IT ADDS INCLUDING HARASSMENT IN THERE.
JUST TO MAKE THAT LANGUAGE PLAIN.
IT REMOVED THE STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION.
TOOK THAT OUT, REMOVED THE DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT AND THEN WENT DOWN TO, AT THE DISTRICT PROHIBITS DISCRIMINATION, INCLUDING HARASSMENT AGAINST ANY STUDENT.
UM, SO IT JUST REALLY GIVES US AN OUTLINE DEFINITION OF DISCRIMINATION.
UH, AT THE VERY BOTTOM, IT INSERTS HARASSMENT OF A STUDENT.
SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WORDING IS DEFINED.
UH, FOR COUNSELORS, ADMINISTRATORS, JUST DISTRICT WIDE, PAGE TWO OF 10, THEY REMOVE PROHIBITED HARASSMENT AND JUST PUT HARASSMENT.
HARASSMENT IS HARASSMENT BASICALLY THERE.
AND THEN IT MOVES DOWN TO TITLE IX, SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND, UH, INSERTS THAT IN AN EDUCATION PROGRAM OR ACTIVITY.
AND AGAINST A PERSON IN THE US IT INSERTED OTHER, I KNOW Y'ALL ALREADY RECEIVED THIS, SO I'M GONNA KEEP GOING.
THERE ARE NO CHANGES BESIDES THE LITTLE DATE AT THE BOTTOM.
WE GO TO PAGE FOUR OF 10, UH, IT INSERTED.
AND ANY PERSON WHO BELIEVES IT, THOSE ARE JUST LIKE GRAMMATICAL CHANGES THERE.
OUR NEXT BIG CHANGE IS ON PAGE FIVE.
THE NOTICE THE APPEARANCE IS, UH, INDICATED WHEN THE DISTRICT RECEIVES A REPORT.
THEN, UH, WE'RE GONNA NOTIFY THE PARENTS IMMEDIATELY.
SEVEN, THERE'S SOME MORE, UH, GRAMMATICAL CHANGES.
UM, THEY ADDED RETALIATION IN THERE, HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION.
AND AT THE BOTTOM, JUST, UH, GRAMMATICAL CHANGES HAS THE RIGHT TO FILE.
INSTEAD OF BEING INFORMED OF HIS OR HER, UM, THEY JUST TOOK THAT OUT TO STREAMLINE THE PRONOUNS.
UM, CUZ THAT'S PART OF THE TITLE IX FOR STUDENTS.
UM, AS FORMAL COMPLAINT IS NOT FILED OR DISMISSED, THEY ADDED THAT VERBIAGE.
THE TITLE IX COORDINATOR ALSO RESERVES A RIGHT TO SIGN A FORMAL COMPLAINT, INITIATING THE TITLE IX GRIEVANCE PROCESS.
IT WOULD BE, UH, DELIBERATELY INDIFFERENT NOT TO INVESTIGATE AND RESPOND TO THE PROHIBITED CONDUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH BOARD POLICIES AND THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT.
GOING ON TO PAGE, NO CHANGES ON PAGE NINE.
AND THEN FINALLY, PAGE 10, IT CONCLUDES AT THE RETALIATION PIECE.
UH, TO SAY IN THE ABSENCE OF A FORMAL COMPLAINT, ALLEGATIONS OR RETALIATION SHALL BE INVESTIGATED UNDER INVESTIGATION REPORTS OTHER THAN TITLE IX ABOVE.
SO JUST, UM, AGAIN, FROM THE SECOND CALL SESSION, JUST PUTTING IN THAT MANDATORY LANGUAGE, UM, THAT WE NEED.
SO HOW MANY OF THESE UPDATES DO WE DO PER YEAR? IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN THEY MEET.
UM, I KNOW LAST YEAR I THINK WE HAD, WE HAD TWO, I THINK WE HAD 17, 1 17 AND ONE 18.
SO, SO WHEN DID YOU GUYS GET THIS UPDATE? OKAY.
WHEN DID YOU GUYS GET THIS UPDATE? UH,
[01:05:01]
THINK, YEAH, LIKE THE FINALS FOR US.THEY KIND OF GO THROUGH, UM, SOME OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE LARGER DISTRICT, LIKE IT GOES TO, THEY HAVE THE MEETINGS AND THEN THEY HAVE TO COME THROUGH, COME BACK TOGETHER AND GET ALL THESE CHANGES.
SO I MET WITH, UH, KANYE'S, UH, LAST TUESDAY.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHEN I PROBABLY MENTIONED IT THAT NIGHT AT THE BOARD MEETING.
CAUSE THAT'S WHEN I MET WITH HER WAS TUESDAY.
LIKE, UH, WE BASICALLY, LIKE THE VIDEO I SHOWED YOU IS BASICALLY THAT, BUT I DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES.
SO WHEN SHE SENDS OUR PART, UM, LIKE IF THERE'S A WORD HANGING DOWN OR JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN I, YOU KNOW, WANNA BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT SO THAT OURS IS CLEAN SO YOU GO BACK AND CLEAN IT UP.
OR THERE'S ANY, UM, QUESTIONS OUTSIDE OF THAT.
UM, IF, SO, I KNOW THAT THEY GO TO LARGER DISTRICTS FIRST.
IS THAT LIKE BEFORE AUGUST, I'M LIKE, UH, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE AUG, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST AT THE AUGUST BOARD MEETINGS.
WELL ACTUALLY WOULD BE HR WITH THE REQUIRED, UM, UH, PROFESSIONAL STAFF DEVELOPMENT THINGS LIKE, I MEAN, WE CAN'T CONTROL THAT.
OUR BOARD MEETING IS AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
BUT THE VERY LEAST LIKE THEN, SO IS THERE A WAY LIKE WE COULD AT LEAST START TALKING TO THEM NOW? YEAH.
THAT WHENEVER THERE ARE UPDATES CAN, WHEN THE SOONEST WE CAN GET THE UPDATE TO BRING TO YOU ALL YEAH.
SO THAT WE AREN'T TWO MONTHS OUT, THREE MONTHS OUT.
CAUSE ALSO IN MY MIND I'M LIKE, OOH, I NEED TO TALK TO OR PUT SOMETHING FORWARD TO AT LEAST SAY, HEY, WE'VE COMPLETED THE DYSLEXIA TRAINING MM-HMM.
SO NOW I'M WAY BACK TO OCTOBER.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING ABOUT THE CIRCLE? WE UNDERSTAND.
AND I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER CLARIFICATIONS IS LIKE, THEY'LL SEND OUT LIKE A AUTOMATIC, UH, EMAIL THAT WE GET AND AT THE BOTTOM IT MAY SAY NO BOARD ACTION.
SO THEN WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL ASSUME THAT IT, IT SAYS NO BOARD ACTION, SO WE DON'T NEED ANY ACTION.
SO THEN, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE THOUGH.
RIGHT? WELL, WE CAN ASK THEM, BUT IT.
BUT IT'S LIKE THEY, THEY SEND A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS, BUT WHEN THE DOCUMENT SAY IT'S NO BOARD ACTION DUE AND PER THEIR POLICY, DOES DO THAT MEAN THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE BOARD? YEAH.
CAUSE THE OTHER ONES WILL USUALLY SAY, UM, LIKE BOARD ACTION REQUIRED.
SO I THINK SOMETIMES IT'S THE AUTOMATIC THING, BUT DEFINITELY, UH, SOON AS THEY COME OUT, CAUSE WE KNOW WHEN THEY MEET, UM, SO THEN I'LL JUST RESPOND TO COS AND SAY HOW SOON WILL THIS BE DONE? WE NEED A FIRST MEETING OR SOMETHING.
IT WOULD BE, I THINK WE NEED TO GET INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THEY HAVE TIME FOR DELIBERATION AND ANALYSIS, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT PROBABLY WHAT THE COMMITTEE SHOULD BE DOING.
BUT I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WAS URGENT.
AND YOU WALK INTO A MEETING AND YOU GET FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AT SOMETHING YOU GOTTA VOTE ON.
AND WE ARE BOARD A BOARD BETTER THAN THAT.
I MEAN IT IT'S NOT ON YOU BUT RIGHT.
WE'RE ALL A TEAM WORK THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE AFTER ALL WE PAY 'EM.
YOU GOT ANY IDEA HOW MUCH WE PAY THEM FOR US? SO WHEN, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION? WILL WE PAY THEM HOW MUCH WE PAY 'EM FOR? FOR POLICY SUPPORT ATTORNEY ALEXANDER? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE CONSULTANTS GET PAID AT TAS V FOR POLICY OR AT LEAST HOW MUCH WE CAN PAY THEM TOGETHER? OH, THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE.
SHE'S GONNA SEND THAT OUT TO THE BOARD JUST FOR THE ONE UPDATE WITH THE ELECTRONIC COPY AND STUFF.
I HAVE A BILL THAT JUST CAME FOR LIKE $2,400, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THEY, FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE POLICY CONSULTANT AND ALL OF THAT? THAT, WELL THAT'S JUST THE CHANGES THROUGH, UH, WE DO DO A SUBSCRIPTION WITH THE POLICY AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE PAYING CHARGE AS A WHOLE.
WE'RE PAYING OVER CAN WE GET FOR INSURANCE, I BREAKDOWN OF WHAT'S GOING OUT, ALL THE SERVICES THAT WE PAID FOR MM-HMM.
ARE WE, ARE WE USING IT? I MEAN I'M SITTING HERE EVERY PART OF TAS, IF WE'RE PAYING 'EM 900 GRAND, ARE WE USING 900,000 WORTH SEARCH FOR INSURANCE? THE THING
[01:10:01]
I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF REALLY HIGH DEDUCTIBLES ON IT.DEDUCTIBLES SO HIGH, IT MAKES YOU WANT LIKE YOU ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE FOR CAR INSURANCE AND THINGS THAT TO BE TAUGHT OF THAT.
WE'VE THAT WITH THE STUDENT DEVICE INSURANCE.
LIKE WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THEM WE'RE LIKE, WELL IF WE GET OUR PARENTS TO PAY 20 BUCKS AND WE ARE USING SOME OF OUR TITLE DOLLARS TO, YOU KNOW, TO SUBSIDIZE IT OUR FEDERAL DOLLARS AND OUR PARENTS SHOULDN'T HAVE PAID ANYTHING IF THE BREAKS, BUT THERE WERE SOME THAT WERE WAY CHEAPER.
OH, JUST LET THE PARENTS PAY 10, $10 AND THEN THEY GOTTA PAY $50, $80, A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
WELL THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF WE'RE STILL SUBSIDIZING SOME.
SO WHO KNOWS? IT'S JUST SOMETHING I THINK PROBABLY LEAVE.
UM, I WOULD UH, WHEN, WHEN IS OUR NEXT, UM, MEETING OR WHEN CAN WE HAVE A NEXT MEETING AS FAR AS OUR LOCAL POLICIES, UM, UPDATES AND CHANGES.
THAT WOULD BE LET'S GET WITH MR. VICE PRESIDENT AND WE'LL SCHEDULE SOMETHING.
AND, AND THIS NEXT MEETING, THIS IS GOING TO BE UM, NOT ONLY I GUESS UPDATING WITH OUR ONE 19 OR IS THAT THAT'S AUTOMATICALLY TAKES PLACE WITH OUR ONE 19, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE REVISITING EVERYTHING ON A LOCAL LEVEL AND IT'S GONNA BE PRESENTED LIKE IT IS NOW OPEN OR I'M NOT SURE.
SO THIS WOULD GO FOR THE NEXT UH, BOARD MEETING.
BUT ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE UP TO, YOU KNOW, CHAIR.
WE'RE DETERMINING THAT WHEN WE TALK WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET EITHER REGION 10 OR HAS THE LEGAL FOR GOVERNANCE.
IF THAT'S WHAT I WOULD, I THINK THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR GOVERNANCE.
BUT I DON'T THINK WHY WE SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THAT SEPARATE WHEN IT'S GONNA BE AT THE CONVENTION.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE GOING TO THE CONVENTION FOR EDUCATION, BUT ON A LOCAL LEVEL THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND TAKEN CARE OF.
WHETHER WE NEED LEGAL THERE OR NOT.
I GUESS THAT CAN BE DISCUSSED.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT'S WITHIN POLICY THAT IS NOT CLEAR.
AND I CAN SEE THAT BECOMING A DEBATE.
UM, THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE AND THERE'S A LOT OF UM, THINGS THAT A LOT OF, UH, RESPONSIBILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN DELEGATED TO CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT DUE TO COVID IS UNDERSTANDING WHY.
BUT THAT'S BE, THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF IN OUR POLICY.
ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN NOW IT'S BEEN CHANGED.
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SOME THINGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED.
IT HAS BEEN CHANGED EITHER OR.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON WHY I REQUESTED IN.
SO IF WE NEED TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY, IT'S STILL ON THE WEBSITE SO TO SPEAK.
IT'S STILL ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE IS STILL EXISTS BUT IT, AS FAR AS WHAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT POLICY ABOUT NOT HAVING PUBLIC MEETINGS AND I'M TALKING ABOUT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RESOLUTIONS ADDRESSING COVID AND THEY'RE STILL THERE.
ARE THEY CLOSING MEETING ARE? NO, I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING.
SO THIS MEETING CAN CARRY ON UNTIL I LEAVE.
WE NEED OFFICIALLY CLOSE OR Y'ALL CARRYING ON? NO, BUT SHE SAID WE NEED A OFFICIALLY CLOSE MEETING.
DO YOU WANNA CLOSE IT RIGHT NOW? YEAH, WE MIGHT AS WELL.
TRUSTEE JONES HAS SOMETHING TO SAY BEFORE OR HE'S NOT ON? OH, HE'S ON THE PHONE.
TRUSTEE JONES, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO SAY BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT THE MEETING? NO.
UM, ATTORNEY ALEXANDER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
WE CAN'T HEAR YOU BREAKING UP.
I JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT IS RECORDING SESSION MEETING.
SHE IN RON NOT SESSION, BUT UM, CAUSE TECHNICALLY MS. BRIAN IS TAKING NOTES RECORDING NOW.
WE HAVE HEAD YEAH, MS. BRIAN IS RECORDING IT.
SHE SAID AUDIO RECORD? YEAH, SHE SAID THAT CAUSE YOUR SECRETARY? YEAH.
SHE THOUGHT I WAS RECORDING
CAN WE, CAN WE CLOSE THE HOUSE? YES, WE OBJECTION.
YOU KNOW WHAT? THANKS EVERYBODY.
