THERE MAY BE OTHER MEETINGS THAT WOULD OR SHOULD TAKE PLACE FOR COMPLETION.
WHO WOULD LIKE, UH, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE THE PERSON TO KEEP THE, UH, KEEP US ON TRACK, MR. STEVENS AND MR. CLUES, WHICH ONE WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO DO IT? GUESS I'M, SO WOULD YOU DO MR. OO? YES, MA'AM.
OUR GOAL IS TO COVER EACH PAGE, UNLESS THE COMMITTEE JUST LEAVE IT THERE.
UNLESS THE COMMITTEE DECIDE, OTHER THAN THERE IS NO NEED TO BE, UH, SO DETAILED.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS MAY FEEL THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF OUR MEETING.
UH, MS. WOODFIELD HAD JUST ENTERED THE MEETING.
UH, OUR GOAL IS TO COMPLETE THE POSTED AGENDA, OPERATING PROCEDURE.
THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING IS TO REVIEW AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD IN A OPEN SESSION OF THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING.
EVERY MEMBER SHOULD ALSO HELP OTHER BOARD MEMBERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO DEFINE LOCAL POLICY VERSUS LEGAL POLICY.
THE OUTCOME FOR THE OUTCOME IS FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER AND COMMITTEE MEMBER WILL HAVE CLARITY OF GOVERNANCE AND OPERATING PROCEDURE AS OUTLINE AND BOARD POLICY.
ANY CHANGES OR UPDATES SHOULD BE CLEARLY DEFINED TO EVERY BOARD MEMBER.
SO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RESEARCH INDIVIDUALLY, DEFINE AN ANSWER AND THE PURPOSE FOR THEIR DECISION.
SO THEY CAN, UH, THEY ARE CONCISE WITH THEIR VOTE.
THAT SO THEY ARE CONCISE WITH THEIR VOTE, UH, AT THE BOARD, AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS AS UH, AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.
OKAY, YOU ALL, IF WE COULD GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE TIMES POLICY.
WHAT, WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS POLICY OR OPERATING PROCEDURE? WELL, IT'S OPERATING PROCEDURES, BUT I MENTIONED POLICY BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK UP, UH, ON THE SCREEN, UH, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MS. BRYANT FOR PUTTING THAT UP THERE.
WE'RE IN THE OPERATING PROCEDURE.
WE HAVE TO REFER TO OUR POLICY, AND OUR POLICY IS LOCAL AND LEGAL.
[00:05:01]
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING.BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GET INTO, UM, LEMME PULL MY COPY OUT HERE.
UM, AND YOU ONLY, EXCUSE ME IF I KINDA SOUND DIFFERENT.
SO WHEN WE ACTUALLY GET INTO THE POLICY, I MEAN TO THE OPERATING PROCEDURE, WE WILL REFER TO OUR POLICY AND MON, UH, MS. BRYANT, I'M SORRY MS. BRYANT, IF I CALL YOU BY YOUR FIRST NAME, I'M TRYING TO, OKAY.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ONLINE POLICY, MS. BRYANT, WHERE LIKE IF YOU HAD TO, OR WE HAD TO CLICK OVER? BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS REFERENCE THAT, THAT, UM, WE CAN PULL IT UP, MAYBE DO A SIDE BY SIDE WHERE EVERYBODY CAN SEE WHAT IT'S REFERRING TO BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO OPERATING PROCEDURE AND MAKE UP, AND WE SIT UP AND DO OUR OWN OPERATING PROCEDURES, NOT REFERENCED IN POLICY.
THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURE IS SNIPPETS OUT OF THE POLICIES INTO THIS BOARD OPERATING DOCUMENT.
ONE THING I SAW, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER, FRISCO, RICHARD, SOMEBODY'S POLICY AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE, AND SOMEBODY MENTIONED THIS LAST WEEK, WAS THEY ACTUALLY PUT THE LOCAL AND LEGAL POLICY RIGHT BY THE ACTUAL, UM, POLICY ITSELF MM-HMM.
SO IF YOU EVER HAD TO REFERENCE IT, YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS IN THE, IN THE ONLINE OR LOCAL.
AND I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT THAT TOO.
EVEN IF WE HAVE TO REFERENCE BACK TO IT, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT HAS TO BREAK DOWN AND IT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THOSE WHO FEEL LIKE IT.
UM, IT MAY NOT BE, THEY DON'T HAVE, AND I, I ECHOED THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT AND I RECALL, UH, PRESIDENT HAMILTON SAYING THE SAME THING AND WE WERE WORKING ON HOW WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT.
SO, UH, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AND HAVING IT SIDE BY SIDE.
UM, AND THAT WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION WE WOULD GIVE THE BOARD, BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA TAKE THAT, THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE A LOT OF WORK FOR, UM, MS. BRYANT TO DO, TO REFERENCE.
AND PERHAPS WHEN THEY GET DONE, MAYBE PRINTED OUTSIDE BY SIDE AND COLUMNS.
LIKE, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN I D WHERE IT'S THREE FEDERAL, LOCAL, FEDERAL AND THE SOB AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE MM-HMM.
WELL WE CAN HAVE IT LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, BUT OURS WILL BE THREE WOULD LEGAL LOCAL, AND, UM, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
AND THIS MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO SAY THAT BECAUSE I MENTIONED IT, UH, TO DR.
PERRERA, BUT I MENTION IT HERE.
I, I WANT TO LOOK INTO EITHER WE HAVING, UM, GOVERNMENT CODE REFERENCE BOOK IN THE DISTRICT, CUZ IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE HAVE TO ORDER, BUT I WANNA GET A PRICE FOR IT BECAUSE I WANT ONE.
SO JUST, I FOUND THAT IF YOU GO TO THE STATUE THEMSELVES, YOU CAN SEARCH MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW, VARIOUS PARTS OF WHAT, WHATEVER.
BUT WHAT I REALLY, I WANNA JUST GO ON RECORD AND MAKE MY OBJECTION KNOWN THAT I STILL CAN'T SEE ANY REASON FOR THE REDUNDANCY UHHUH.
I MEAN, WE, IT'S JUST LIKE WE MAKE THINGS WAY TOO COMPLICATED.
I MEAN, WE COULD JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I MEAN, AND I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOME PEOPLE TO ACCESS, WELL GIVE UP AN EXAMPLE.
THEY WON'T ACCESS THE BOARD POLICY ONLINE EVEN GONNA ACCESS THE BOARD OPERATING GUIDELINES.
IF SOMEBODY WANT ACCESS THE BOARD POLICY ONLINE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA ACCESS THE BOARD OPERATING GUIDELINES EITHER.
AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY'RE GONNA FIND THIS EXACTLY THE SAME THING IN MANY CASES.
THAT'S SO WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION? WE DO SO WELL, NOBODY LIKED WHAT I HAD TO SAY, BUT, WELL, WHAT WAS, WHAT DID, I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER IT SAY THAT WE DON'T DO IT.
MY SUGGESTION WAS, BORDER OPERATING GUIDELINES A REDUNDANT AND HIGHLY UNNECESSARY.
ANYTHING WE WANTED TO PUT, WE COULD PUT IN THE POLICY,
[00:10:01]
ESPECIALLY IF YOU, IF YOU ACCEPT THE FORM THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, BOARD OPERATING POLICY GOES RIGHT ALONG ALONGSIDE THE GUIDELINES.AND ANYTHING THAT'S IN THE, WELL, NOT EVERYTHING IN THOSE UPING GUIDELINES ARE IN POLICY.
SOME, SOME OF IT WAY OUT THERE.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THERE ARE RIGHT NEXT TO LEGAL AND THEY'RE QUITE EASY TO ACCESS.
SO IT'S JUST FOR SIMPLICITY SAKE.
THIS IS JUST SOME MS. BRYANT, WOULD YOU NOTE THAT MR. UM, TRUSTEE STEVENSON? OBJECTION.
IF WE COULD TURN TO PAGE FOUR, I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, JUST STATE THAT I DID READ THAT, UH, THE, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, VIA TASK FEE, THAT THE BOARD POLICY PROVIDES A FOUNDATION FOR THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT FOR SEVERAL, FOR, UH, FOR SEVERAL KEY AREAS, BUT ALSO THAT THE BOARD POLICY SHOULD SERVE AS A CLEAR GOVERNANCE PURPOSE.
SO YES, WE DO HAVE LAW, BUT LAW, UH, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU KNOW THE READ LAW AND WHEN I, UM, AS A NEW NUMBER, WHEN I TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT OUR POLICY HAS AS AAS, WHAT HAVE YOU, AND THEN WHEN I GO AND LOOK AT, UH, OPERATIONS, IT DO ACTUALLY, THE OPERATIONS FROM BACK IN 2017 APPEARS TO HAVE A MORE, HAVE A MORE CLEAR BREAKDOWN VERSUS 2019.
AND, AND IT EXPLAINS SOME THINGS.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS ONES, UH, OKAY.
BEFORE YOU GO TOO FAR, I BELIEVE THAT 2017 IS SOMETHING, AN EXAMPLE.
MY EXAMPLE ONLY THING, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
YOU ALL LET ME SOMETHING, LET ME FINISH WHAT I'M SAYING.
NO, BECAUSE WE, WE WANT TO GET OFF PAGE FOUR.
I UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M GONNA LET YOU KNOW WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN VERY STRONG DETAIL BECAUSE TY BROUGHT THAT IN.
TY'S THE ONE THAT SENT 2017 IN, BUT THAT, I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE BROUGHT IN.
BUT WHAT I AM REFERENCING TO IS, UM, THE, WHEN I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT, I UNDERSTAND WHAT TODD BROUGHT IN, BUT I ALSO LOOKED AT WHAT'S ONLINE.
AND WHAT TODD BROUGHT IN, OF COURSE, COMPLIMENTS THAT, WHAT HAVE YOU MM-HMM.
FOR OUR BOARD ON A LOCAL LEVEL.
AND THAT WAS, AND THAT WAS THE SAME THING MR. STEVENS WAS SAYING.
AND SO WE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THIS RECOMMENDATION IN OUR BOARD MEETING, IN A PUBLIC MEETING.
SO, I, I PLEASE, UH, NOTE THAT MS. BRYANT, THAT, UM, TRUSTEE WOODFIELD AND I'M SORRY, UM, TRUSTEE WOODFIELD, UM, UH, ECHOED AND SPOKE ABOUT THE COMPARISON AND A BREAKDOWN BETWEEN BETWEEN 2017 AND 2019, UH, OPERATING PROCEDURES AS IT RELATES TO GOVERNANCE AND OUR BOARD POLICY.
SO ON PAGE FOUR, YOU ALL, UH, I DIDN'T GET ANY, I DIDN'T GET ANY, UH, RESPONSE FROM ANYONE.
DO WE NEED TO SILENT READ THIS OR SOMEONE WANNA READ IT? I'M NOT, I'M GETTING CAUGHT UP IN MY WORD.
WHAT ALL THIS WERE IN MY MOUTH.
I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST GONNA SUGGEST OR RECOMMEND WHATEVER, WHETHER IT WAS, WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD, WE GOTTA GO THROUGH EACH PAGE.
RIGHT? YOU GOT SOME AND WHETHER WE HAD MM-HMM.
WE, ON PAGE FOUR, DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SAYS, IS IT E WE STOP ON E OH, STOP.
ON E BOARD MEMBER CORPORATION.
WE HAVE FOR THE TOP, DID WE, WE ARRIVE AT DECISIONS.
WE THREW WITH THE TOP, WE DOWN, WE DOWN TO E AND WE DON'T REALLY, SO TO INCLUDE MY SUGGESTION TO CHANGE FOR ONE BOARD MEMBER FROM TWO BOARD MEMBERS.
THE CHANGE ON WHAT? TO PUT SOME ON A YES.
CAUSE EVERYBODY HAVE TO HAVE A SEC.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND.
YOUR, YOUR, YOUR SUGGESTION TO THE BOARD IS TO, OR TO NOT DO IT.
TO HAVE, NOT TO HAVE A SECOND TO A RECOMMENDATION FOR ON THE AGENDA FOR A VOTE.
I'M, I'M GONNA TELL YOU, I WENT THROUGH THAT.
I ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THAT DURING THE COURT PERIOD.
I WENT THROUGH, BECAUSE I HAD TO ALWAYS GET A SECOND.
[00:15:01]
PEOPLE ON THE BOARD THAT WAS WORKING VERY CLOSE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT GRANGER THAT PROHIBITS ANYTHING FROM BEING PUT ON THE BOARD FROM THREE TRUSTEES PROHIBIT THAT.AND SO THE LAW STOOD IN FAVOR.
DOCUMENT THAT AS THE ATTORNEY COUNSEL.
YEAH, THAT'S WHERE I WAS GONNA GO.
WE GOING TO PUT IT THERE AND LET LEGAL EXPLAIN IT.
I THINK IT WOULD BE CLEAR BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE AN INTERPRETATION OF US TRYING TO EXPLAIN, BECAUSE THAT'S A LEGAL ISSUE FROM A COURT DECISION.
SO THAT I'M CLEAR MR. STEVENSON, YOU'RE ASKING THAT IT, IT'D BE ONE BOARD MEMBER TO ASK FOR SOMETHING ON AGENDA.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP PART NUMBER TWO, IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MENTION, IT JUST SAYS SIX CALENDAR DAYS.
THOSE TWO SECTIONS ARE IN OPPOSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND WE NOTED YOUR OPPOSITION WITH THAT TRUSTEE STEVENS.
AND I'M GOING TO SAY AGAIN, PROBABLY IF YOU WOULD'VE CALLED ME OR SENT THAT TO ME, I COULD HAVE FORWARDED IT TO THE ATTORNEY AND HAD HIM TO BE ON THE PHONE.
WELL, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A COMMITTEE TO HAVE THESE ISSUES OUT.
NO, I MEAN, IF YOU JUST GONNA COMMITTEE AND I'M NOT TAKING CONTROL OF THE MEETING, THERE'S NO POINT IN ME IN HERE.
STEVENSON, WE GOT 12 PAGES TO GO THROUGH.
HE REVIEWED IT STILL HAS TO GO.
WELL YOU ALREADY DECIDED WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
HAS TO BE REVIEWED BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE A DECISION IN THIS MEETING.
WE'RE WRONG PEOPLE THAT'S HOLDING UP POSITION FOR THIS WHOLE CITY.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS PUT IT UP FOR VOTE TO BOARD.
YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT, UH, LEGAL OPINION OR SOMETHING.
WE THAT'S WHAT WE WERE SAYING.
BUT WE'RE ALSO THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.
YOU HEARD ONLY WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR FROM ME MEAN.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM THAT ATTORNEY.
AND I'M INTERESTED IN NOT WHAT THE OPINIONS HE PUT OUT.
HE PUTS OPINIONS FACE, NOT BASED ANY FACT OR ANY LAW.
AND I SAID, PUT IT DIDN'T DO THAT.
I SAID PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE ONE OR TWO VOTES.
AND THEN ALSO IT WAS STATED THAT WE GET THE ATTORNEY TO GIVE THEIR OPINION ON THE LEGAL SIDE AND THAT'S IT.
BUT THAT'S CAUSE I, I WOULDN'T, I'M SERIOUS.
LIKE I AGREE TO BUT DON'T, DON'T LEAVE.
AND SHE, SHE, AND IT IS GOING UP FOR REVIEW REPORT.
AND I WANT, AND I, I REFERENCE TO WHAT I SAID WHEN I FIRST OPENED, EVERYBODY WOULD HAVE A INPUT.
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I'M GONNA SAY THIS FROM MY PER PERSPECTIVE, MONA.
IF YOU JUST TAKE THE MINUTES, WHEN A BOARD MEMBER OR A TRUSTEE OR ANYBODY SAY ANYTHING, WE JUST WRITE IT DOWN AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT IT COMES TO THE BOARD.
WE'RE NOT, NOT MAKING NO DECISIONS IN THIS MEETING.
WE'RE NOT MAKING NO DECISIONS AND WE ARE NOT TAKING IT UP ON OURSELF TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS MEETING.
WE ARE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS TO PUT IN FRONT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WHICH IS SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS, WHICH IS WHY I RECOMMENDED IT FIRST.
THE FIRST THING WE DO IS WORK OUT THE METHOD METHODOLOGY FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE.
AND I RESPECT THAT MR. STEVENS ALSO SAID AT THE END OF THAT LAST MEETING, CUZ WE HAVE SO MUCH TO GO THROUGH, IF EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL SEND ME DIALOGUE, COMMUNICATION AND DIALOGUE IS IMPORTANT, BUT NOT, WE'LL NEVER GET THROUGH THIS.
I TOOK AWAY FROM THAT MEETING, I TOOK AWAY THAT WE WERE ALL GONNA COME HERE PREPARED TO PUT IN OUR INPUT AS TO WHAT WE THOUGHT.
MONIQUE, DO YOU HAVE ANY MINUTES FROM THAT LAST MEETING? CAN YOU SEND EVERYBODY A RECORDER? I MEAN, I CAME PREPARED TO OKAY.
TO GIVE YOU MY OPINION ON WHAT I THOUGHT I WOULD BE INCLUDED.
SO LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH NUMBER E.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT FOR THE TOP PART.
WE GOT A, WE WE DID A LENGTH, WE DID THE WHOLE MEETING ON ONE THROUGH D WHEN WE FIRST CAME.
YOU WANNA GO BACKWARDS? DO THE BOARD NEED TO GO BACKWARDS? MS. MORRIS? MM-HMM.
BUT WHAT I'M STATING IS THE WAY YOU'RE SUBMITTING IT, DELIVERING IT, IT COME ACROSS CONDESCENDING AND AS IF THERAPY, JUST A MOMENT.
AS IF THE CONCERN IS LIKE, LET GET THIS DONE AND GET IT OVER WITH.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT IT COMES ACROSS.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD.
BUT THE THE, WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS EVERYONE'S CONCERNS, NOT JUST DISCUSS HISTORY AND WHAT TOOK PLACE BACK THEN.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD AND FOCUS ON WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US.
NOW, MS. WHITFIELD, IF I MAY SAY I'M GOOD, DON'T YOU BECAUSE
[00:20:01]
I'M, I'M GOOD.LET'S GO TO, LET'S GO TO FOUR.
WHERE WE AT? ANYBODY GOT ANY COMMENTS OR ANY RECOMMENDATION? WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
EACH TRUSTEE WILL BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS THE AGENDA.
I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RESPONSIBLE ELECTED OFFICIALS.
WE KNOW PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
AND THOSE THAT AIN'T GONNA DO IT, THIS AIN'T GONNA DO ANY GOOD.
AND SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ON THAT? WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? WHAT DO YOU, YOU WANNA CHANGE SOMETHING IN THERE OR YOU WANNA LEAVE IT LIKE IT IS DROP? WHY DROP AT, AT THE, THE GOVERNMENT HAS, EVERYBODY HAS TO LOSE THE LAWS.
NUMBER TWO, THOSE WHO NEED A REFERENCE TO REFERENCE THAT.
BUT EITHER A, THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD SAY TO IS NO, I'M SORRY, LET ME GO AHEAD AND THESE THINGS BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE STATING TO DO IS NOT CHANGE ANYTHING TO ME, IN MY OPINION, TO PROGRESS.
IT'S JUST, OH, WHY IS THAT FAIR? TAKE IT OUT.
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST COMMON SENSE.
THAT'S WHY GOVERNMENT HAS THEIR LAWS.
EVERYBODY HAS A LAW AND THEY HAVE A BOOK THAT THEY REFERENCE TO.
SO IT IS NOT ABOUT, IT'S TAKING UP SPACE.
THINGS DO NEED TO BE PUT IN WRITING.
OTHERWISE, IF IT'S NOT THERE, THEN WE'RE COMING BACK AND WE'RE LOOKING OKAY, IT'S NOT THERE.
AND THEN IT TURNS INTO AN ARGUMENT.
EVERYTHING NEEDS A POLICY AND IT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN WRITING, NOT JUST OFF THE TOP OF SOMEONE'S HEAD.
SO CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT ONE? CAUSE I AGREE THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT,
I JUST FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE GONNA PUT ANYTHING IN THE UM, IN, IN THE POLICY, IT NEEDS TO SHOW REFERENCE THAT'S TO LEGAL PERIOD.
WHETHER IT'S A FOUR B, WHOEVER, B E LOCAL OR WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO SHOW THE REFERENCEING WHERE IT HOLD ON.
UH, MS. WOODFIELD, I MEAN MS. UH, JUST MY REFERENCE.
I'M NOT TRYING TO, WOULD YOU GIVE US THE, IT IT'S IN OUR POLICY.
IT'S IN LEGAL AND LOCAL ABOUT PREPARATION FOR MINUTES.
AND WE'LL GO ON AND WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT PREPARATION MEETING.
PREPARATION FOR MEETING I ME GET THAT OUT.
MIND GET CAUGHT UP IN THE BOTTOM.
AND I GUESS THAT'S THE MOST SUCCINCT WAY FOR ME TO DESCRIBE WHAT THAT IS.
WELL, THIS AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH MICROMANAGING.
SHE'S PULLING IT UP LIKE TO SAY, UM, E ON THIS E THESE TWO.
THESE ARE THE THINGS LIKE TO KIND OF PUT, HAVE TRUSTEES TO HAVE STANDARDS OF HOW THEY SEND QUESTIONS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT IN A TIMELY FASHION PER SAY.
WE HAVE A MEETING TO SEE THAT'S DIFFERENT.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT NUMBER ONE, PREPARATION OF PREPARATION FOR MEETINGS.
THAT IT, I CAN'T HARD SEE THAT.
AND I MEAN COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSE TO THE SEE THAT AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THIS CLICK AND CODE PART ON.
UM, NOTICE REQUIRED IS A GOVERNMENTAL CODE THAT'S PART OF THAT REQUIRED NOTICE.
AND IT'S IS ONE IN THERE ALWAYS IN OUR LOCAL POLICY? IT'S IN OUR ACTUAL MM-HMM.
I MEAN IS IT OUR LOCAL AND LEGAL POLICY? AND IT SAYS THE AGENDA.
AND THE AGENDA ON GO BACK NANCY.
OH, YOU DON'T, WE DON'T TO READ IT.
WHAT ABOUT NUMBER TWO? SO WE KNOW, UH, I DON'T HAVE ANY, I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BECAUSE WE KNOW IT HAS TO BE 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION.
UM, PRIOR TO THIS IT'S ISS POSTING.
THIS IS POSTING, PREPARING FOR THE MEETING.
IT'S PREPARING H I'M SAYING IF WE'RE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE AGENDA, SUPPORTING DOCKET REGARDING THE AGENDA MM-HMM.
BUT WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO SUBMIT? I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET TO THAT PARK.
OKAY? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PUT TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD IN THE DELIBERATION? BASICALLY ALL THIS REFERENCE BACK TO A FOUR.
[00:25:01]
DID YOU GET THAT? MS. UH, T A FOUR.B ONE, TWO REFERENCES BACK TO A FOUR.
AND THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY READ.
THE LEAD FOUR IN THERE LIKE IT WAS.
SO WE'RE REGENERATE THAT AND WE GOING TO THE BOARD.
THAT'S A DISCUSSION TO PUT A FIFTH OR NOT.
RIGHT? AND ALL OF THIS IS DISCUSSION.
ALL OF THIS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE BOARD TO VOTE ON HOW THEY WANT TO DO IT.
AND IT'LL BE DISCUSSION AFTER A MOTION OR BEFORE A MOTION IS MADE.
SO NUMBER TWO, WE, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO, UH, ROMAN NOODLE, ROMAN NU UH, TWO CONDUCTING BOARD MEETINGS.
AND BY HAVING PROBLEM WITH THAT DATE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
THE FOURTH AND I, UM, BASED ON LAST WE GONNA SAY, LAST WE GONNA SAY THE WORD LAST? YES.
I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, ALSO PUT IN THAT AS A BOARD.
UM, WE REVISIT OUR, UM, BOARD MEETING DATES.
AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE OF, UM, EXPRESS CONCERNS.
AND THIS IS, THIS IS WHAT THE FOURTH, THE FOURTH THURSDAY, THE, THE LAST THURSDAY, OR WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST THURSDAY? WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT AGAIN.
DID WE JUST I UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO YOU WANNA REVISIT, WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT MS. BROWN.
WOULD THAT DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ACCOMMODATING FOR THE BOARD.
IT CAN'T BE FOR INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER.
I'M JUST ONLY SAYING THAT TO MONA.
I'M NOT, I'M NOTING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO WHICH WE GOING, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS THE NEXT MEETING.
IF WE, IF WE GET FINISHED WITH THIS, IT HAVE TO BE NEXT, BUT WE CAN'T BECAUSE THIS MEETING HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED.
UM, AND LIKE ON A, SOME OF THIS WAS JUST ADDED DURING THE BOARD BEING LIKE SOME, LIKE A, SOME OF THIS CAN BE DELETED, LIKE TELLING SOMEBODY TO NOTIFY THE BOARD PRESENCE AND NEED TO TAKE THE PHONE CALL.
LIKE THIS IS JUST X EXCESS STUFF THAT PEOPLE PUT IN TRYING TO CONTROL PEOPLE ON SILENT.
SO HOW WOULD A, SO WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE HOW IF SOMEBODY, OF COURSE THE PHONES IS ON SILENT, BUT IF A PHONE CALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AND IT'S AN EMERGENCY, YOU TAKE IT.
I WOULD LEAVE LIKE THE FIRST PARTY ELECTRONIC DEVICES SHOULD BE TURNED THE SILENT SLASH OFF.
JUST SO THEY KNOW THAT THAT'S
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND REST OF THIS.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, YOU KNOW THAT ALARM I CAN'T TURN OFF.
ALL THAT STUFF THAT WAS ADD TO THIS WAS JUST MALICIOUS INTENT.
THE PROBLEMS, IMING I'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH THIS DOCUMENT.
NO, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOKED AT THE LAST SHEET OF THIS, YOU GOT SOME BOARD MEMBERS SITTING IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE THAT DIDN'T VOTE ON THIS.
SO GO BACK MS. HAMILTON, YOU'RE SAYING TAKE AWAY WHICH ONE ON A TWO A ROMAN NUMBER TWO A, THE SECOND SENTENCE.
IT SAYS JUST KEEP THE PART, IT SAYS THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE SHALL BE TURNED OFF FOR SILENT.
LIKE I TOLD 'EM WHEN THEY SAID THIS, LONG AS I HAVE KIDS, MY PHONE WAS OKAY CAUSE THE
NOT ONE OF THE THINGS I HAD HIGHLIGHTED.
ONE OR TWO, WE'RE GONNA TURN TO PAGE.
THE OTHER PART OF TWO IS ON PAGE FIVE.
[00:30:01]
THE BOARD, UM, LET'S, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PARENT THAT ONCE THAT STEPS UP TO SPEAK, I NOTICE THAT WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.SO THAT'S WHY I STATED WHEN I READ IT, IT LIKE WE, IT KIND OF IS KIND OF CONTRADICTING.
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO, HOWEVER IT'S BASED THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT IS SUPPOSED TO, UM, PROVIDE THE BOARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH CLARIFICATION OR FACTS ACTUALLY, I'M SORRY.
FACTS OF WHAT THE SITUATION IS OR WHATEVER IS TO BE DISCUSSED.
HOWEVER, WHAT DO WE HAVE IN PLACE WHEN A A PARENT STEP UP AND THEY HAVE CONCERNS AND IT HAS COME TO THE BOARD.
WHAT DO WE HAVE IN PLACE TO VERIFY AND CLARIFY THE STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SITUATION IS TAKEN CARE OF.
THAT PARENT IS, AND I I TEXT SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO, UH, DR PRAYER AS IT RELATES TO UM, HOW, YOU KNOW, THE INVESTIGATION OUTCOMES OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY EMAIL A BOARD MEMBER AND OR CONTACT THE BOARD MEMBER AND WE SEND THAT INFORMATION OVER TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.
BUT A LOT OF THIS IS NOT FOLLOWED BACK.
LIKE WE DON'T GET ANY FEEDBACK AND I CONTINUE TO GET PHONE CALLS AND OR EMAILS OVER THE SAME THING OR COLLABORATION OF THE SAME THING.
MEANING THIS CHILD IS INVOLVED IN A SITUATION, THERE'S ANOTHER SITUATION THAT'S THE SAME CHILD.
AND NOW LIKE ON THE BUS, I, I KNOW I'VE EMAILED PROBABLY TWO OR THREE TIMES PROBABLY I THINK, UM, REGARDING FIGHTING ON THE BUS.
CAN I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? BEARS ME JUST A MOMENT.
UH, THE FIGHTING ON THE BUS AND THESE KIDS ARE BACK ON THE BUS THE NEXT WEEK.
LIKE, AND IT IS THE SAME THING.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PUT IN PLACE? AND THEN WE HAVE PARENTS STANDING IN FRONT OF US TRUSTING US TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE, I MEAN I KNOW OUR SUPERINTENDENT IS SUPPOSED TO HANDLE ALL OF THAT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, PROVIDING US WITH SOME TYPE OF FOLLOW UP, LETTING HER KNOW WHAT HAD, YOU KNOW, THE OUTCOME OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
OKAY, SO CAN I ANSWER THAT? CAUSE IT WAS A LOT AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT TRUSTEE WOODFIELD.
WE ARE THE LAST BODY TO GET THE COMPLAINT.
MEANING IF A PARENT HAVE A COMPLAINT WITH THE DISTRICT, THERE IS A GRIEVANCE PROCESS TO FILE.
SO WHEN INDIVIDUALS COME UP TO SPEAK TO US, WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN THEY CALL US.
DON'T, IF THEY FILE A GRIEVANCE WITH THE DISTRICT, THEY WILL BE FILING A GRIEVANCE ON THE SUPERINTENDENT.
WHICH THE SUPERINTENDENT IS THE LEADER OF THE DISTRICT.
THAT'S WHY ALL OF THAT FALLS UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENT.
I'M AWARE NOW THROUGH THE YEARS I HEAR MS. WHITFIELD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS, HAD TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR REAL TO UNDERSTAND IT.
BUT WE AS BOARD MEMBERS NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WE'RE NOT CROSSING OVER.
BECAUSE IF WE CROSS OVER, THEN WE WILL HAVE TO ACCUSE OURSELVES FROM A HEARING OF A PARENT.
I'M, WE SHOULD NOT EVEN GET INVOLVED IN IT.
SO DID THAT ANSWER, DO YOU WANNA BRING IT TO THE BOARD? ACTUALLY, WELL YOU, YOU LET ME, LET ME, CAN I REITERATE WHAT YOU ASKED MS. MORRIS? BUT, BUT MS. WINFIELD, ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF A PARENT OR SOMEONE IS BEFORE US AND THEY, THEY HAVE A COMPLAINT OR CONCERN MM-HMM.
SO DOES THAT KIND OF, WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE, PUT IT IN THE DIRECTION? WOULD YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF A PARENT IS COMPLAINING THAT THERE'D BE SOMETHING PUBLICLY SAID FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT WE ARE, WE ARE CAN'T, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
WE YOU'RE NOT GOING INTO DETAIL OF WE'RE NOT TALKING.
BUT IT'S A REASSURANCE TO THE PARENT THAT WE'RE HEARING THEM.
WE, AND BASICALLY WE'VE HEARD WHAT YOU STATED AND THIS IS THE PO THIS IS, SOME PARENTS MAY NOT KNOW THIS IS WHAT, THIS IS THE STEPS THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN.
IF THEY'RE STATING THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN, THIS WILL BE THE NEXT THING AND IT WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND FOLLOWED BACK UP IF THERE IN IT SPACE IN LEGAL THAT IN FACT THAT CAN TAKE PLACE AND THAT IT, WE CAN GET A REPORT OR SOME TYPE OF UPDATE ON WHAT'S TAKING PLACE, UM, WITH, UH, WITH THAT STUDENT AND WITH THAT PARENT.
[00:35:01]
COME IN AND POUR THEIR HEART OUT AND WE SIT THERE AND LOOK AT THEM AND THANK YOU.UM, SO TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME EXACTLY DON'T, YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE SAME THING.
SO YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
WE GOING TO BRING THAT TO THE BOARD FOR THE BOARD TO LOOK AT THAT.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO, I ONLY BASICALLY SAID WE HAVE TO BE VERY MINDFUL THAT WE ARE THE LAST BODY OUTSIDE OF THE STATE TO HEAR A COMPLAINT.
AND SO IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE COMPLAIN, OKAY.
IF A PARENT COMES UP TO US, WE ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THAT PARENT.
IT'S OUR RESPONSE THAT WE HAVE TO BE, I DIDN I DIDN'T TELL YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO THEM.
UM, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT US BEING THE LAST ONE IS WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN OUR RESPONSE AND ADVISE THEM OF THE CHAIN OF COMMAND IS WHAT WE CAN DO.
THAT, THAT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS MEANING MS. WOODFIELD.
HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? BECAUSE LET ME SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU HOW YOU SAY THINGS.
IF THAT'S HOW YOU ARE GETTING IT ACROSS BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND IT HOW I SAY THINGS.
AND THAT'S WHY ONE THING THAT WE CANNOT DO, WE CANNOT CHANGE THE WAY A PERSON MIND THINK WHAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTH.
BUT MONA, MS. BRYAN, DID YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID TO BRING TO THE BOARD? WOULD YOU REPEAT IT? CAUSE IT WAS ONLY, IT WAS ONLY VERY SHORT.
WE GOING TO MAY CIRCLE BACK THE WHOLE SITUATION WITH MS. CLUE SAID, CAN I FINISH TALKING AND I WILL GIVE THE FLOOR TO YOU.
BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT MS. BRYANT HAVE THIS CONCERN CUZ IT IS A CONCERN.
SO THE MAIN THING THAT I JUST HEARD OUT OF EVERYTHING IS THAT HOW THE BOARD RESPOND TO THE CONSTITUENTS WHEN THEY CALL IN BY THE COMPLAINT.
HOW DO THE BOARD RESPOND AND HOW WE FOLLOW UP AND HOW WE FOLLOW UP.
THAT'S THE MAIN THING AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING TO THE BOARD.
SO WITH THE PEOPLE COMING TO THE GUYS TALKING TO US ABOUT THEIR STUDENT AND KNOW THAT WE JUST SAID THANK YOU AND THAT'S IT.
IT'S THE SUPERINTENDENT'S JOB.
SHE'S SITTING THERE LISTENING AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE LISTENING.
AT THAT POINT, SHE, SHE'LL GO BACK AND INVESTIGATE THIS.
WE HAVE A CARD WITH THAT PARENT'S NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL ADDRESS.
SHE CAN, THEY, SHE CAN CIRCLE BACK ON A PRIVATE LEVEL AND ASK, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHO DID YOU ADDRESS THIS WITH? CAUSE THOSE ARE HER EMPLOYEES THAT SHOULD HAVE HANDLED IT AND IT'S NOT BEING HANDLED.
BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BOARD, WE JUST KIND SAY THANK YOU AND DON'T GET INVOLVED.
BECAUSE LIKE MS. MOORE SAID, IF THE PARENT DOES A PARENT COMPLAINT AND IT COMES TO THE BOARD, IF WE KNOW WAY TOO MUCH AND WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT CHILD'S ANYTHING OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC.
CAUSE FIRST OF ALL IT'S AGAINST FE AND THOSE ARE OUR STUDENTS.
CAUSE WE DON'T EVEN WORK FOR THE DISTRICT.
SO THAT'S WHY WE REALLY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.
AND THEN FAR AS MS. WHITFIELD'S POINT ABOUT, WE DON'T GET A, WE US NOT GETTING AN UPDATE ON LIKE THINGS THAT WE SEND IN.
LIKE WE GOT AN EMAIL BEFORE TO WAS SUPERINTENDENT.
SHE'S NOT GONNA WRITE US BACK AND SAY, WELL STEP BY STEP MS. HENDERSON CALLED THIS PERSON.
WE PUT THIS KID OUTTA SCHOOL, WE PUT THIS KID IN INHOUSE SUSPENSION.
ALL SHE CAN WRITE US BACK AND SAY IN REFERENCE TO THIS THAT YOU ALL SENT ME, THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY ADMINISTRATION.
WE CAN'T HAVE WHAT MR. CLUES WAS SAYING WHEN THE CITY, THEY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND OP WILL PUTS BUT THE CITY THAT'S MUNICIPAL THINK YEAH, BUT I THINK THAT THE OUTLINING PART OF THAT IS THAT ITS NOT ASKING FOR A WHAT ARE YOU DOING DR.
IT'S ITS SIMPLY SAYING IS LETTING MR. STEVEN, BUT I THINK YOU'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, BUT LET HIM, LET HIM, LET HIM BRING IT OUT.
PER, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU HAVE THIS PARENT HERE OBVIOUSLY STRESSED OUT CUZ SHE GOT A PROBLEM.
AND YOU TELL ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE AFTER SHE SPEAKS, TAKE HER ASIDE, GET HER INFORMATION, TALK TO HER, LET HER KNOW SOMEBODY HEARS HER, AND THEN FOLLOW UP THAT WAY.
WE DO, WE FOLLOW UP WITH EVERYONE THAT COMES TO SEE.
AND I GUARANTEE YOU DON'T FIX THAT SINGLE AND KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT.
TO HEAR IT OUT LOUD, I THINK IS THE REASSURING PART.
BUT IT, IT'S, IT IS HEARING DR PER SAY, DR.
BARKER, UH, WOULD YOU ADDRESS THIS PARENT? AND IT BE SOMETHING THAT'S HEARD OUT LOUD AND IT SAYS, OKAY, SOMEBODY IS ON THAT.
NOW, WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GETTING WEEKLY UPDATE ON IT FACE TO FACE, ANYBODY COMES TO SPEAK.
WE, WE ALWAYS ADDRESS THOSE THINGS.
CAN, CAN WE LET TURN MYSELF YOU INDIFFERENT, BUT REMEMBER YOU'RE HEARING ONE TIME, YEAH, YOU'RE, THAT'S THINK HOW ALL THE LEDGE SEND YOU A EMAIL ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING THEN, YOU
[00:40:01]
KNOW, DOC, ACTUALLY I WANNA SAY TO THE BOARD THAT'S IN THE MINUTES, THE PERSON THAT CAME AND SPOKE TO US AND WHAT THEY SPOKE IS THEIR NAME, THEIR ADDRESS.AND ALL OF THAT IS, IS IN OUR MINUTES.
IF WE WANNA LOOK BACK AT THE MINUTES TO RE TO REFER TO DR.
PERRERA ON THIS DATE, THIS INDIVIDUAL CAME, HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
BUT I THINK BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
I THINK IN FAIRNESS OF MS. MORRIS, IT IT, I FEEL LIKE WHY NOT GO THE EXTRA MILE? I'M NOT PUTTING ANY WORK ON ANYBODY, MORE WORK ON ANYONE ELSE.
BUT I THINK IF THAT PERSON CAME TO THE BOARD AND THEY HAD A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT, AND AGAIN, WE DON'T HEAR BOTH SIDES OF IT AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE, BUT TO KNOW THAT THE PERSON CAME, THEY GAVE THE COMPLAINT, STAFF IS WORKING THAT.
AND IF THERE, IF THERE IS A TI A TIMELY, UM, FOLLOW UP FROM THE, FROM DR.
CARRE, HER STAFF SAYING, HEY, ON THIS DAY THE BOARD HEARD THIS PERSON, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE WITH IT.
OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE WE PERSON CAME AND COMPLAINED, BUT WE HEARD THAT.
SO WHAT DO YOU WANT, YOU WANT US TO PUT THAT AND PRESENT THAT TO THE BOARD BECAUSE MR. LEWISS, TRUSTEE LEWISS, IF YOU GOT AN ISSUE WITH A PARENT THAT HAD CAME IN FRONT OF US AND STATED A COMPLAINT AND YOU WANTED TO FOLLOW WITH ADMINISTRATION, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP THE PHONE.
PERRA, DID YOU TAKE CARE OF IT? MM-HMM.
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT ONLY THING THAT I'M SAYING, IF THEY CAME TO YOU AND SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND THAT SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD KNOW ALL OF THE DETAILS, YOU WILL HAVE TO RECUSE YOURSELF FROM A VOTE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR, YOU'RE NOT YET WHAT HAPPENED? YOU, YOU'RE SIMPLY SAYING, ASKING HER, WAS IT TAKEN CARE OF? THAT THAT'S, THAT'S THAT'S IT.
SO IF IF TIMELY RESPONSES IN THAT BE SHE DON'T HAVE TO RESPOND TO EVERYBODY UNLESS YOU WANTED TO BE IN OUR PROCEDURE.
IF, IF THERE WERE A THOUSAND OF THESE COMPLAINTS, I'D UNDERSTAND THE TIMING THERE.
HOW MANY HAVE YOU GOTTEN SINCE YOU, WHEN YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD? I'M ASKING YOU, HOW MANY HAVE YOU GOT ANSWER SOMEONE FROM THE COMMUNITY.
RIGHT? HOW MANY HAVE YOU GOT? WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OF THEM.
HOW MANY? I CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY.
AND, AND, AND SO IF YOU FEEL THAT THAT'S WARRANT TO PUT AND IOP OPERATING PROCEDURES, ALL WE GOTTA DO IS TELL MISS MONA TO PUT IT DOWN THERE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WHEN SHE GET THE MINUTES RIGHT TO PUT IT THERE.
THAT'S BUT WHILE WE, WHILE WE KEEP ON TABLE, WE NEED IS A RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDATION FROM YOU.
AND SO I I'M JUST GONNA USE THE LAST, LET'S, I'M GONNA USE THE LAST EXAMPLE THAT WAS SENT TO ME ABOUT THE PARENT.
UH, NOT THE PARENT, THE UNCLE WRITING ABOUT THE NEPHEW.
ONE, HE DOESN'T HAVE CUSTODY, WE DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO DISCUSS ANYTHING WITH HIM.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW, RIGHT? HE WASN'T SUSPENDED BECAUSE HE WAS TARDY, HE WAS TARDY AND TRIED TO PUSH PAST THE TEACHER, KNOCKED HER INTO THE DOOR, BUMPED HER HEAD.
SHE SHE CAME BACK TO WORK TODAY BUT DIDN'T COME BACK TO WORK AFTER THAT.
RIGHT? SO THOSE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE ARE, WE DEAL WITH AND WE DEALT WITH, YOU ALL VOTE ON THE HANDBOOK, YOU VOTE ON THE, THE CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS, ET CETERA.
AND SO I DON'T KNOW OF A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THE PROTOCOL THAT HAS BEEN VOTED ON UPON BY YOU AS A BOARD AS A BODY AND ALL THE DETAILS.
YOU ONE, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT.
BUT WE TRUST YOU TO HANDLE ALL THAT WITH THE CONCERN IS THAT WE DON'T WANT SOMEBODY, A PARENT OR EVEN ANYBODY TO COME UP AND TALK TO THE BOARD.
AND THE BOARD JUST SIT THERE, MOVE ON.
THE, SO MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THIS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BOARD PRESIDENT WILL SAY I PRAYER, WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT? WHICH I'M GONNA DO ANYWAY.
BUT IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, THEN DO IT PARENT FEEL BETTER.
RECOMMENDATION IS THAT SOMEBODY, YOU GET ONE OF YOUR STAFF TO PULL IN ASIDE AND TALK TO 'EM RIGHT THERE.
EVEN IF THEY, THEY'RE NOT PRIVY TO THE DETAILS, YOU CAN TELL 'EM THAT.
SAY, HEY LOOK, I'M SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU.
JUST LIKE THEY READ FROM THEIR SCRIPT WHEN THE PEOPLE FROM INDIA ARE TAKING CARE OF YOUR, AND, AND, AND WITH THAT, YOU HAVE A QUESTION IF YOU ALL WANNA ADDRESS ME SO WE CAN STAY IN ORDER, PLEASE.
WELL, MS. MORRIS, I'M GOING BACK TO WHAT DR WELL I UNDERSTAND THAT STATEMENT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT ALL WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, OUR SECRETARY BEEN RAISING HER HAND AWAY BEFORE ALL OF THIS.
THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER.
UM, TO THE BOARD MEMBERS AND, UM, DR.
UM, THEY ADDRESSED LEGAL ADDRESS THAT, UM, LAST WEEK IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE, UH, CONFERENCE.
AND THEY REFERRED TO BE LOCAL POLICY ON HOW YOU SUPPOSED TO RESPOND TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU PRINT THAT? LET ME GO, LET ME GO PRINT IT OUT.
PRINT IT OUT AND GIVE EACH BOARD, EACH ONE OF US THAT, BUT THE LEGAL'S NOT THE ACTUAL POLICY.
IT'S THE ACTUAL POLICY PULLED UP ON YOUR COMPUTER.
RIGHT? BUT SHE WAS GONNA PRINT IT OUT.
[00:45:01]
BACK.MS. MORRIS, CAN WE GO BACK, BE LOCAL THAT MS. BRYAN IS REFERENCING IF, IF THE PERSON IS BEFORE US COMPLAINING, DO WE AT ANY POINT, AND I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER BEFORE PUBLIC COMMENTS IF THAT'S READ, BUT DO WE AT ANY POINT AFTER THEY, OR BEFORE THEY MAKE THAT COMMENT OR STATEMENT, DO WE GO BACK AND SAY, HEY, OKAY, HERE'S POLICY HERE, HERE'S WHAT THE, THE POLICY IS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW.
YES, WE THE BOARD HEAR YOU, BUT HERE'S THE POLICY.
OKAY? SO MR. LEWIS, NOTHING PROHIBIT YOU IN DOING THAT.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A RE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ENTIRE SEVEN MEMBERS, THAT'S WHERE MS UH, BRIAN IS GOING TO TAKE IT.
WHATEVER HAPPENED YESTERDAY, AS MS. TRUSTEE WHITFIELD HAVE SAID, IT'S OUT THE DOOR.
SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TOMORROW? TOMORROW WE GO, ONCE WE FINISH THIS, ALL OF THESE THINGS OF CONCERNS WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE BODY.
SO THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NUMBER THREE IS THAT MS. BRYANT IS NOT IN HERE.
SO WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NUMBER THREE IS THAT NUMBER THREE IS, YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS? MM-HMM.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S WHAT HE WAS, THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE ASKING.
WHAT WAS ASKING, WHAT WERE YOU ASKING FOR? JUST TELL ME.
NO, TELL ME WHAT WHAT WHAT YOU WERE ASKING.
BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING WAS HOW DO, HOW DO THE SUPERINTENDENT GIVE BACK TO US? RIGHT? WELL, THE ASSESSMENT QUESTION WAS ADDRESSING THE PERSON AT THE DI AND JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'VE HEARD YOU LIKE THAT'S WHAT I, SO THAT THAT'S ALL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
I CAN TAKE THAT, THAT, SO, I MEAN I THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S HOW I CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
THAT'S A QUICK PIECE TO THAT COMMENTS.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ADDRESSED.
AND THEN ANOTHER PART THAT READS IN SOMETHING, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT IS, BUT I READ IT.
IT SAYS THAT THE BOARD IS SUPPOSED TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE COMPLAINT IS, COMPLIMENT WHATEVER.
THEN THE BOARD WILL TAKE IT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND SAY, OKAY, CAN YOU LOOK AT THIS? AND THEN WE'LL PLACE IT ON THE AGENDA AT A FUTURE MEETING TO DISCUSS.
THEY SAY YOU I HAVE READ IT SOMEWHERE HAS ME.
CAUSE THAT'S WHY I READ A LOT.
I READ IT TELLS YOU TO THE BOARD IS TO HEAR THE COMPLAINANT COMMENT.
WHATEVER THE PERSON HAS TO SAY, WE DON'T ADDRESS THE SPEAKER.
IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD WANTS ADDRESS, YOU DIRECT THE SUPERINTENDENT TO INVESTIGATE IT, ADDRESS IT.
AND IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD, WE CAN PUT DOWN A FUTURE AGENDA OR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
MARIANNE, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING ALL NIGHT ABOUT THIS ONE ISSUE, WHICH, WHAT'S COMBINED WITH TWO AND THREE.
SO WE, WE ARE JUST BEING REDUNDANT OVER THE SAME THING BECAUSE, BUT WHAT THEY WANNA ADD, BUT WHAT THEY WANNA ADD THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I JUST SHARED WITH MONNET.
WE CAN SIT HERE AND SAY IT ALL KIND OF WAYS AND IT CAN COME OUT OF THOUGHT, OUT OF EVERYBODY MIND IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
SO THEY WANT, BUT AT THE END WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO NARROW THAT DOWN TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD.
SO IT NEEDS TO BE, YOU WANT RECOMMENDED THAT WE ADD FOUR, ACKNOWLEDGE THE SPEAKER, RIGHT? AND NOW IS THAT ON THREE OR IS THAT ON FOUR? IT'S FOUR.
SO IS IT, ARE YOU SAYING THAT CAUSE THE SPEAKER IS ACKNOWLEDGED.
THEY'RE ACKNOWLEDGED BUT WE DON'T LIKE ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR COMMENT OR WHATEVER THEIR CONCERN WAS.
SO WE NEED TO ALSO PUT IN THERE IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY THAT, BECAUSE WHEN KIM GET UP AND INTRODUCE AND CALL THEIR NAMES AFTER YOU SAY, DO ANYONE, WAS THERE ANYONE HAD ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO COME AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE TO THE BOARD? WELL, DR.
AND IF IT'S YES, TIM WOULD COME DOWN, EXPLAIN HER WHOLE DETAIL TO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THE BOARD WILL, THE BOARD OF THE ADMINISTRATION WILL GET BACK TO THEM.
SHE SAYS THAT EVERY TIME SHE GET UP THERE.
AND SO IF WE GOING TO DO THAT, THAT, BUT THEIR CONCERN IS US SAYING SOMETHING FROM THE DIET.
I HAVE HEARD YOU SEVERAL TIMES SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.
AND SO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, IF YOU SAY THANK YOU FOR THE, FOR YOUR COMMENT, EVERY BOARD MEMBER AROUND THAT TABLE CAN SAY THANK YOU.
YOU ALL CAN'T SAY THANK YOU OR WE HEAR YOU.
I DON'T THINK THAT ANYBODY ELSE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD WANT TO HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
CAUSE THE MARY IS SPEAKING COLLECTIVELY FOR US.
PERERA AND HER STAFF OR WHOEVER.
I DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL VER SHE WOULD USE, BUT THANK YOU.
THE BOARD ACKNOWLEDGES YOUR COMPLAINT.
SO WE DO HAVE A PROCESS FOR COMPLAINTS.
[00:50:01]
WHY YOU DON'T WANNA SAY TOO MUCH CAUSE TRUMP CHAT ABOUT THE PROCESS.THEY PROCESS SHOULD REALLY START ON WHAT A CAMPUS IS HAPPEN ON.
THERE'S THE, IT COME STRAIGHT, BUT I, WHEN THEY COME TO THE BOARD THAT MAY NOT HAVE FILED A PARENT COMPLAINT, THEY MIGHT JUST CAME HERE OR LOOK, WE DON'T KNOW.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU ALL, EVERYBODY'S TALKING OVER EVERYBODY.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE NEED TO BE A ONE SENTENCE TO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING TO THE BOARD.
THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION ON THIS ONE ITEM, THESE TWO ITEMS. WELL, LET'S GO.
AND SO WHAT'S THE ONE STATEMENT THAT WE AS THIS COMMITTEE GONNA TAKE TO THE BOARD? DO ANYBODY WANNA MAKE THE ONE STATEMENT WHAT THEY MARY AND JUST SAID? AND SHE WOULD SHE WOULD NO, SHE SAID WHAT SHE GONNA DO.
RIGHT? WE NEED TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO GO TO SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS FROM THAT DIAS.
THIS IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD PRESIDENT RESPOND FROM THE DIAS AFTER THE PERSON'S SPEECH TO GIVE THE SUPERINTENDENT DIRECTIONS.
SO THAT WOULD'VE TO COME FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
HUH? I SAID THAT WOULD'VE TO COME FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID.
BUT I, THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT ON THE COMMITTEE.
I'M TELLING YOU, YOU CAN SPEAK, YOU CAN SPEAK, YOU CAN SPEAK.
I'M NOT GONNA TELL NOBODY THAT THAT ATTENDS HERE.
EVEN IF IT WAS A COMMUNITY MEMBER AND THEY WANTED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK TO THE BOARD FROM THE COMMITTEE, THEY HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
MY LAST COMMENT ON THIS IS, I JUST THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE SHOW YOU.
THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH.
BARKER AIN'T THE BEST FOR, SHE'S NOT MUCH OF, WE'RE ALL TOUCHY FEELY.
SO WE HAVE LEGAL, WE HAVE LEGAL.
IF YOU ALL WILL LOOK AT LEGAL AND LOCAL ON PUBLIC COMMENTS AND LET'S GET FEEDBACK.
AND LET'S BE DIRECT FROM THIS PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT'S MADE WHEN THE PERSON, BEFORE THE PERSON COMES TO THE DIOCESE FEVER.
I THINK WE'RE CLEAR ON ALL THE CHAIRS.
NO MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT THEN IF WE ALL CLEAR.
UM, SO WE'LL GO TO TRUSTEES VISITING, UM, SCHOOL CAMPUS.
HAVE ANYONE LOOKED AT THAT AND HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT ONE? DID YOU GO TO C IS THERE A QUESTION BEFORE WE CONTINUE? YOU KNOW WHAT? OH, I PICKED IT UP BEHIND HERE.
WE'RE ON C I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE CONTINUE.
TO, UM, TRUSTEE BASIC SCHOOLS.
WHEN, WHAT, WHAT, UH, IS THERE A POLICY IN PLACE IF UH, SOMEONE HAS A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SUPERINTENDENT? YES, THERE IS TO THE BOARD.
IT GOES TO THE BOARD AND THEN THE BOARD WILL, WILL LOOK AT IT.
AND THEN FROM THAT WE HAVE TO INVOLVE OUR LEGAL, UH, OUR ATTORNEYS.
AND THEN IF IT IS WARRANT, IT WILL GO TO TEA BECAUSE TEA WOULD HAVE TO HEAR IT.
THE BOARD HAS TO HEAR IT FIRST.
IS THERE ANY REASON WHY IT'S NOT IN HERE? IT IS IN OUR POLICY.
ARE THEY CONTRACTS AS WELL? AND CHAPTER 21 IS NOT IN OUR POLICY.
THAT'S IN EDUCATION CHANGES ONLY FOR US, FOR THE BOARD, NOT THE PUBLIC.
HER COMMENT WAS HOW OF SOMEBODY MAKE COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SUPERINTENDENT? I SHE DIDN'T SAY HOW NO ABOR RIGHT.
MAKE AGAINST THE SUPERINTENDENT.
IF, YEAH, IF THE, IF THE UH, IF SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC, WHETHER IT BE DISTRICT OR PUBLIC, ADDRESSES THE BOARD.
CAUSE IT WAS, IT WAS A BLANKET STATEMENT.
WELL SAY IF IT'S HR, IF IT'S AN EMPLOYEE, THEY HAVE, THEY GO THROUGH HR HERE TO DEAL WITH THAT PART.
AND THEN OF COURSE IT STILL THAT ALLUDES TO US.
HR HAS A DUTY TO GIVE THAT, YOU KNOW, TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.
SHE JUST HAVE TO GIVE US THE COMPLAINT ON ITSELF.
OR WOULD LOBATO SEND IT TO THE BOARD? LA LATO, SHE WOULD SEND IT, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE MY ATTORNEY.
THAT GOES TO THE ENTIRE BOARD.
IF WE GET A COMPLAINT THAT'S CONSIDERED PERSONNEL.
THE WHOLE BOARD THAT'S GONNA BE INVOLVED AT THE SAME TIME FROM THE CITY GM.
CAN, CAN WE STAY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? CAUSE OUR POLICY FROM THE CITY CLARIFICATION.
[00:55:01]
WE COULD JUST STAY ON SCHOOL DISTRICT, IT WON'T BE CONFUSING FROM WHAT THE CITY DO.CAUSE THEY ARE MUNICIPAL AND WE RUN DIFFERENT.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CITY.
I'M TALKING ABOUT, I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY CITY? WHERE I SAID CITY, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.
MISS WOODFIELD, I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR.
CAUSE WE NOT GONNA TAKE THIS PERSONALLY RIGHT HERE.
WHAT, WHAT IS IT MS. BRYAN RIGHT HERE.
THE ED LEVEL ON THE FIRST PAGE, COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS.
AND THEN IT HAS, IF THIS PUBLIC COMPLAINTS IS UM, POLICY STUDENT OR PARENT COMPLAINTS, F N G, WOULD YOU READ THEM MS. BRYANT, PLEASE? WOULD YOU JUST READ IT? WELL THAT SHE DID IT TELLS NO, SHE WAS EXPLAINING IT.
IT WAS, THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING.
CAUSE AIN'T WHAT SHE'S SHOWING IT.
OH, YOU WANT HER TO GO? THAT'S WHAT I, NO, I ASKED HER TO READ THIS PART HERE BY COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS.
CAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT WAS REFERENCED.
RIGHT? BUT ON THE BACK IT TELL YOU LIKE HOW TO PUBLIC FILE A COMPLAINT.
NO MS. I'M ONLY ADDRESSING WHAT MS. BRYAN WAS STATING.
WELL SHE WAS JUST WANTING TO KNOW WHERE IT WAS, WAS WHAT POLICY WAS AND IF IT WOULD BE IN, OKAY IF IT WOULD BE IN, UM, WHERE YOU KNOW, HOW ABORTION HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE THAT OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
THIS IS LIKE A QUICK REFERENCE.
I AM NOT TRYING TO DEBATE WHAT'S GOING ON.
IT'S UNDER GF FOR PUBLIC COMPLAINTS.
UNDER THE POLICY ON THE JAIL, YOU SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND LOCAL.
SO THE UM, COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS FOR PRESIDING OFFICER OR DESIGNEE SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL ADDRESSES THE BOARD HAS ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE A MATTER ADMINISTRATIVELY THE RESOLUTION CHANNELS ESTABLISHED BY POLICY.
IF NOT, THE INDIVIDUAL SHALL BE REFERRED TO THE APPROPRIATE POLICY TO SEEK RESOLUTION SUCH AS EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS.
D G B A STUDENT OR PARENT COMPLAINTS, F N G AND PUBLIC COMPLAINTS GF.
AND GO ON AND READ THE NEXT ONE.
DISRUPTION THE BOARD SHALL NOT TOLERATE DISRUPTION OF THE MEETING BY MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE.
IF AFTER AT LEAST ONE WARNING FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICER, ANY INDIVIDUAL CONTINUES TO DISRUPT THE MEETING BY HIS OR HER WORDS OR ACTIONS, THE PRESIDING OFFICER MAY REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS TO HAVE THE, UH, INDIVIDUAL REMOVED FROM THE MEETING.
ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS? AND SO THIS IS JUST THE B E D IS JUST, UH, UH, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND IT ALSO REFERENCE IT UNDER FOUR FOR THE SPEAKER.
AND THIS IS WHAT MS. UH, WHEN I WAS REFERRING TO MS UH, SIMPSON IS WHAT YOU READ WHEN THE SPEAKER'S COMING UP.
AND THAT IS, SHE ACTUALLY READS THIS.
THAT IS LOCAL DISCUSSIONS, LIMITATIONS.
AND SEE THE SAME THING WAS SAID IN FLOOR AT THE BOTTOM.
WHAT I JUST READ IS PRETTY MUCH THE LAST SENTENCE OR TWO.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? HEARING NONE.
CAN WE MOVE TO C AND C IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED.
THAT WHAT WE JUST C IS WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
YOU SAID WHAT? I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.
WELL HEARING ARE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THERE'S A CHAIN FOR HEARINGS.
WHAT DO YOU FEEL THAT NEEDS TO BE THERE, MR. STEVENSON? OKAY.
HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO CONDUCT HEARINGS OTHER THAN BY POLICIES, PROCEDURE? SO YOU'RE SAYING WE DON'T NEED IT THERE OR SHOULD WE LEAVE IT? WHAT IS YOUR FEELING? IT CAN DO IS GO WITH ME.
YOU WANNA STRIKE IT? THIS THAT WE RECOMMENDED WE STRIKE IT.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS, I MEAN, WHY TAKE IT OUT? JUST CAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S, I MEAN, HURTING ANYTHING.
IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, I CAN UNDERSTAND ALL I OPINION.
I'M NOT NO REAL, THIS IS JUST REALLY, I LIKE
[01:00:01]
I, IT'S JUST REALLY A QUICK REFERENCE.I THINK IT KINDA HIGHLIGHTS THE BIGGER FRAME OF STUFF.
THE MAJORITY OF THE STUFF THAT WE TOUCH IS BOARD MEMBERS.
CAUSE ITS TONS OF BOOKS WITH LAWS AND RULES AND WENT, DID YOU DO THE THAT? SO I GUESS I JUST TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT THE HIGH LEVEL STUFF.
THAT'S AN EASY REFERENCE FOR YOU TO GO FIND OR STUFF THAT ALL, THAT'S ALL I, THAT'S WHY I LIKE, I KNOW A LOT OF STUFF IN MY HEAD, BUT IT'S FROM, JUST FROM ME LEARNING IT OVER THE YEARS, I CAN TELL YOU I'VE READ THIS SO I KNOW IT'S THERE.
I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHERE IT IS WITHOUT GOING BACK, TRYING TO DE WHERE I REMEMBER IT FROM.
BUT IT'S JUST LEARNING PROCESS.
SO WE'LL JUST FOLLOW THE LAW AND SOME ON A, UM, UM, MAYBE, UH, THE ECHO TO THE BOARD, WHEN WE GET TO THE BOARD ON THIS PART, WE'LL JUST FOLLOW AND ECHO ACCORDING TO BOARD POLICY AND STATE LAW.
ON, ON HEARING HOW THEY'RE CONDUCTED.
NOW THE NEXT ONE IS TOWN HALL MEETING.
I KNOW WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT UH, TOWN HALL.
BOARD MEMBERS MAY REPRESENT THEIR REPRESE UH, OKAY.
DISTRICT, SOMEBODY ELSE READ IT.
BOARD MEMBER MAY REPRESENT THEIR REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT AT A UH, CALL TOWN HALL MEETING.
ANY BOARD MEMBER MAY ATTEND A CALL TOWN HALL MEETING NOT LOCATED IN THEIR DISTRICT.
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THAT'S THERE FOR TWO.
IT'S LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BE BANNED FROM GOING TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S TOWN TOWNHOUSE.
SO TWO, I WOULD SAY SCRATCH TWO.
YOU KNOW, ONE, IF SOMEBODY WANNA DO TOWNHOUSE, YOU CAN SET 'EM UP.
EVERYBODY MIGHT NOT WANNA DO A TOWNHOUSE.
SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION INDEPENDENT.
MS. HAMILTON RECOMMENDATION IS YOU CAN'T PREVENT ANYBODY.
THERE IS ONE ISSUE ABOUT IF THERE'S FOUR MEMBERS THERE, BUT THE STATUTE SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IF YOU'RE NOT DOING BUSINESS THE SAME AS IF WE WERE GOING TO.
BUT IT'S NOT AN OPEN MEETING THOUGH.
IT'S NOT A MEETING TOWN OF ALL MEETING.
IT'S AN WHAT? CALL SEVEN TRUSTEES.
WE JUST DON'T NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT ANY.
IT'S, IT'S CONSIDERED AN EVENT.
SO, SO WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO THIS, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
SO IF YOUR YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS LEAVE IT OR DON'T LEAVE IT WHAT THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION IS.
UH, I WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE NOTE INDIVIDUAL RECOMMENDATION.
UM, SO, UH, HAMILTON SAYS HER FEELINGS ABOUT TWO.
ANYONE ELSE GOT ANY COMMENTS? AND, UH, DR.
PERRERA, I WANNA SAY READ ONE SAID THAT MY BOTTOM, I THINK TWO ACTUALLY SUM OF ANY BOARD MEMBER MAY ATTEND ANY TOWN, THE DISTRICT TOWN HALL MEETING, WHAT HAVE YOU.
CAUSE IT IS THE SAME ONE YOU SEE.
SO, UH, TWO, UM, INDIVIDUALS SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER OR LEAVE IT AND ONE SAYS DON'T.
CAUSE WE ARE NOT MAKING A DECISION HERE ANYWAY.
UM, CAN WE, UH, MOVE TO L IT'S NOT HURTING.
CAN WE MOVE TO L ABOUT HAVING ANY COMMENTS ABOUT L HEARING NONE.
LET'S GO TO EMPLOY THE CITIZEN'S COMPLAINT TO INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES.
THREE BOARD MEMBERS SHALL NOT, I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SHOULD I CONSIDER PROXY BOTH FROM ABSENT AND BOARD MEMBERS? HUH? AND YOU CAN'T VOTE ON BEHALF OF SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN OR CANNOT VOTE.
PROXY IS LIKE GIVING PERMISSION SOMEBODY TO VOTE FOR YOU.
ARE WE ABLE TO VOTE VIA ZOOM? OKAY.
SO IT WAS ONLY, IT WAS ONLY, IT WAS ONLY PERMISSIBLE BY THE GOVERNMENT.
SO I JUST ANSWER, IT'S RECENT THIS, WE HAD A RECENT MEETING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID.
WELL IT COMES TO MY, IT'S NO HER ANSWER DIRECTLY.
SHE WANTED UH, ANSWER AND THE ANSWER IS NO.
BUT THERE, THERE'S ANOTHER ANSWER TO THAT.
WELL WHAT ELSE? THAT'S I'M WELL, WHEN I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT, I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT AND YOU SAYING YOU TALKING ABOUT THE NO, I WASN'T.
I'M NOT GONNA WITH THIS MORRIS.
WE DON'T JUST CHILL AT THIS FLOOR.
WE AIN'T NEVER GONNA GET ANYWHERE.
[01:05:01]
ILLEGAL WITH THIS A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE IT WILL STATED THAT AUGUST ON THE, WHEN THE AGENDA IS POSTED, THAT PERSON HAS LISTED WHERE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY SITTING IN THAT MEETING.THEY PARTICIPATE AND VOTE DURING THE MEETING.
WE'VE CONSULTED LEGAL ABOUT THAT A FEW TIMES.
CAN WE PLEASE ADD THAT TO OUR POLICY? SO IT IS, THINK I BEEN GIVEN MULTIPLE, IT'S NOT US.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OR SOMETHING.
I THINK WELL LET EVERYTHING, LET'S ADD HER REQUEST.
WE, I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO PLACE IT IN WRITING HERE LOCALLY.
SO IT COULD BE REFERENCE TO, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MS MESSAGES AND I'VE READ WHAT'S IN POLICY, BUT I ALSO SEEN WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
AND WITH THAT SAID, IF IT'S IN WRITING, THEN WHO SHOULD HAVE, I JUST HAD TO THINK.
MS. WINFIELD, CAN WE ADD THAT TO, CAN WE ADD THAT MS. BRYANT? MM-HMM.
SO THEY SAY YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT IN THE BOARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
HOW CAN TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE IS 5 5 1.
SO THEREFORE CAN YOU PUT THAT MS. WHITFIELD'S CONCERN IN A SENTENCE SO WE CAN PRESENT THAT TO THE BOARD.
SO IT'D BE VERY CLEAR WHEN WE GET TO THE BOARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION.
CAUSE WE CAN'T ADD NOTHING IN THIS ROOM.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO VOTE FOR OTHERS IN THEIR ABSENCE OR PERIOD.
AND UH, WE CAN VOTE IF WE AHEAD OF TIME AND IT'S ON THE AGENDA, ESTABLISH WHERE WE ARE DURING THE TIME AND THEY, IF IT'S GOING TO BE VIA ZONE.
AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS JUST STATED BY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY.
IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT PROCESS STILL IN PLACE NOW? WE OUT COVID OR, WELL, IT'S NOT REALLY.
THE FLAG IS LIKE PUTTING IT, WE COME IN THROUGH LINE ON A LIVE FEED.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE ARE ON THERE BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY AND ALL THAT IS STILL STILL LIVE.
SO IT ENDED, IT ENDED LIKE IT'S BEEN A MINUTE, IT WAS WAY LAST YEAR.
CAUSE I HAD A DATE THAT I USED TO READ THAT IT WAS GOOD THROUGH THIS DATE AND THEY NEVER RENEWED IT.
OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE, THE DISTRICT HAS A RESOLUTION OF COVER EMERGENCY AND ALL THAT.
WHAT, WHERE ARE WE STAYING WITH THAT? NO, WE DON'T.
IN PLACE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.
IT'S BEEN SUSPENDED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
SO DID THE STATE'S SUSPENSION AFFECT THE RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE? RIGHT.
AND THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT MR. STEVEN.
I WAS MEANT TO EXPLAIN THAT, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO ASK THAT QUESTION.
BUT YES SIR, WE DO NOT HAVE, SO JUST AS AN ASIDE, HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT RESOLUTIONS ARE IN EFFECT AND WHAT ARE, COULD WE GET A REPORT ON THERE? OKAY.
WOULD THAT BE TOO MS BRIAN, WOULD YOU PUT THAT DOWN? THAT FOR THE BOARD? CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF RESOLUTIONS FOR THE, FOR THE BOARD.
THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A REPORT ON DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS FROM THE GOVERNOR OR FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE OR THE COMMISSION.
MR. STEVENSON, WHO DO YOU WANT IT FROM? DO YOU WANT, DO YOU WANT THE RESOLUTIONS OR YOU WANT A AG OPINION? NO, NO, NO.
I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT RESOLUTIONS THAT THE DISTRICT HAS DONE BEFORE WE HAVE THOSE RE RESOLUTIONS IN EFFECT.
UM, I, BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL THIS COVID RESOLUTION, I DON'T RECALL GOING BACK AND WE VOTE THEY SON SAID IT.
I MEAN THEY, WELL LET ME SAY THAT THE RESOLUTION THAT I FAMILIAR WITH ENDED AT THE END OF THAT SCHOOL YEAR.
SO USUALLY THEY HAVE A SUNSET DATE ON THOSE LIKE THE 2122 SCHOOL YEAR OR 2223 SCHOOL YEAR.
CAN WE GET A COPY OF THAT? SURE.
JUST WHENEVER THAT WAS DONE IN PROBABLY 20 WHATEVER THE CODE RESOLUTION.
YEAH, I THINK IT WAS 2020 I WAS HERE WHEN THEY DID IT.
OURS WAS TO CONTINUE HAVING THE MASK MEAN.
I BOARDED THAT CAUSE THERE WAS THE ONE THAT UH, THAT GR DID.
THAT IS THE ONE THAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN RIGHT THERE.
SO IT STILL ONLINE ISN'T IT? IT SHOULD BE.
THAT'S THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
ISN THE ONE ME TO BE OR SOMETHING.
SO IT'S NOT BUT IS IT STILL ALIVE? I MEAN IT'S ON THE AGENDA BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE PART OF OUR COMMUNICATION.
YEAH, YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN HE SAID IT AND THE AGENDA ITEMS AND THE MINUTES BEEN WELL THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO KNOW THE MONTH BECAUSE YOU, UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH ALL OF THE MONTHS AND DOWN ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE IT, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE ACTUAL MINUTES.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT WAS POSTED GENERALLY IT WASN'T POSTED IN THE MEETING.
IT'S IT POSTED IN THE MEETINGS OF THIS.
IT WAS POSTED ON THE BUT IT WAS ON THE, IT WAS ON THE, YEAH, SO IT'S JUST A GENERAL POSTING OUT ON THE WEBSITE.
UM, AND IT PROBABLY WAS LIKE MORE A QUICK REFERENCE.
SO ARE YOU STATING WE ARE STILL FOLLOWING IT OR ARE YOU STATING HE'S
[01:10:01]
ANSWERING THE QUESTION? WELL HE POSTED ON THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PAGE ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE.I WOULD THINK THAT IMPLIES THAT THERE ISN'T.
CHRISS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I LOOKED IT, SO, SO IF YOU JUST KIND THAT VISIT THEM, THEY TALKED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
THE GOVERNOR HAVE A NICE SAY THAT AGAIN, SORRY.
SO THEY TALK ABOUT THE UM, THE REMOTE PARTICIPATION.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO TYPES OF TELECONFERENCES WHICH IS NOW VERY LIMITED.
UM, AND THEY TALKED ABOUT THE UH, VIDEO CONFERENCE.
SO THE TELECONFERENCE IS BY PHONE AND IS OF COURSE ONLY FOR EMERGENCY OR PUBLIC NECESSITY.
IT'S DEFINED BY THE OOMA AND IT IS DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVENE A FORM OF THE BOARD WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVENE A FORM OF THE BOARD AT ONE LOCATION WHEN THEY CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
AND THEN THE VIDEO CONFERENCE, THEY SAY EMERGENCY NOT REQUIRED QUO MUST BE UH, PHYSICALLY PRESENT AT ONE LOCATION.
LIKE SHE SAID, YOU HAVE TO STATE UH, WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GONNA BE IN, UM, ON ZOOM AHEAD OF AHEAD OF THE MEETING SO IT CAN BE POSTED.
SO THE FORUM HAS TO BE PHYSICALLY IN THE BOARDROOM WHEN THE MEETING TAKES PLACE.
NO, BUT YOU, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO TELL 'EM WHERE YOU ARE.
LIKE YOU'RE DOING IT FROM HOME, YOU'RE DOING IT FROM THE AIRPORT, YOU'RE DOING IT FROM A HOTEL.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TELLING YOUR LOCATION AND SO AND THAT I'M SORRY.
AND THAT WOULD BE POSTED ON THE AGENDA WHERE THAT PERSON WOULD BE OR NO, YOU JUST SAYING THAT YOU'RE COMING IN VIA ZOOM.
BUT I MEAN LIKE I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE WHERE I AM, SHE TELLS YOU.
IT DON'T HAVE TO BE WRITTEN ON THE AGENDA LIKE THAT I'M SITTING THE TAMPA AIRPORT.
MM-HMM
DO WE HAVE TO STATE UM, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE OR LIKE WHERE YOUR LOCATION NOT, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO JUST STATE YOUR LOCATION.
LET ME READ, LET ME READ A LITTLE FURTHER.
BEFORE YOU READ BRYANT, BEFORE YOU READ, I HAVE A COMMENT OKAY.
AND IF I'M TAKING IT IN, IT COULD BE PERCEIVED DIFFERENTLY.
THERE IS ANOTHER RULE ABOUT THAT.
SO THE PERCEPTION OF WHAT YOU FINN TO READ, THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU READ THAT, THAT IT IS RELAYED THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE THAT CUZ IT'S EMERGENCY PURPOSES OR IN THE EVENT LIKE IF THERE WAS DEATH OR IF IT WAS YOU WERE OUT OF TOWN BUT YOU LET THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AND I SAID BOARD PRESIDENT AND SUPERINTENDENT KNOW I CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THAT BOARD MEETING.
UH, MATTER OF FACT, A PRIME EXAMPLE IS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THIS WEEK BECAUSE DR.
PERRERA WILL BE AT A FUNERAL THAT IS AN CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY THAT SHE HAS ALREADY LET MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS KNOW SHE WILL BE PARTICIPATING BY ZOOM.
SO AND SO THEY ADDRESSED THAT AS WELL.
BUT I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FROM THE DRR, UM, AND WE DO FIT THAT MINIMUM STANDARDS TO FOR VIDEO CONFERENCE AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT.
UM, AND LIKE I SAID, THE GOVERNMENT CODE IS BACK, BUT UM, FOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE ROOM, IF YOU'RE ON ZOOM, YOU MUST, THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM MUST BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR FACE, SEE THE, SEE YOUR DEMEANOR AND HEAR THE VOICE OF EACH PARTICIPANT.
SO, AND THEY BASICALLY REALLY STRESSED THAT IF YOUR FACE IS BLURRY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE MEETING.
LIKE WE HAD TO PUT PRESIDENT HAMILTON IN THAT MEETING WHERE EVERYBODY CAN SEE AND HEAR HER ALONG WITH THE AGENDA, YOU KNOW, PUT HER IN THE CORNER AT LEAST.
AND THEN SHE, IF SHE WANTED TO SPEAK, SHE COULD LET US KNOW THAT SHE WANTED TO SPEAK.
IS THERE AND ALLOWNESS AN ALLOW MINIMUM ALLOW IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE ZOOM.
UM, WELL THAT'S UH, DETERMINED BY I GUESS, UM, SOME TYPE OF, OF TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.
AND SO THAT'S A DRR REQUIREMENTS.
THAT'S WHY I GAVE YOU THAT CODE.
SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND READ THAT.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS, UM, ADDRESS THIS WITH THE BOARD AS IT RELATES TO PUTTING THIS INTO POLICY AND BREAKING IT DOWN IN DETAILS AS IT RELATES TO, UM, THE
[01:15:01]
TELECOMMUNICATION AS WELL AS ZOOM'S THE CONDITIONS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.SO THAT ITSELF WILL BE IN WRITING AS IT RELATE FOR OUR POLICY OF, FOR THE BOARD.
ARE YOU, YOU, ARE YOU, ARE YOU MAKING THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE PUT IT IN POLICY OR IN OPERATING PROCEDURES? BECAUSE IF WE PUT IT IN POLICY, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO GO TO TASB FORTS B TO LOOK AT POLICY AND THEN SEND IT BACK TO US LIKE THIS LITTLE YELLOW SHEET WE GOT TONIGHT AND IT JUST, AND THAT'S HOW THAT PROCESS WILL WORK.
SO, UH, AND I WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION.
SO MS. MONA, IT'S UNBELIEV, RIGHT? THAT BREAKDOWN THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION.
FIRST HAS TELL, RIGHT? THAT'S UNBELIEV, BUT MS. WHITFIELD WAS ASKING THAT QUESTION AND I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY CONCERNED IS NOTED IN OUR MINUTES WE ARE GOING.
AND SO, UM, MISS, I'M REQUESTING TO ACT AS TO OUR BOARD POLICY.
OKAY? SO AND SO THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO VOTE COMMITTEE MEETING.
I MEAN I'M, THIS IS A REQUEST THAT'S WE YES MA NO, I'M JUST SAYING WE STILL DON'T HAVE FOR A COMMITTEE MEETING.
MS. BRYANT, WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT MS. WHITFIELD RECOMMENDATION? OKAY.
THAT SHE WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INCLUDED IN LEGAL AND I EXPLAINED THE PROCESS TO PUT IT IN A POLICY THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH TASK OPERATE PROCEDURES IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE BOARD TO PUT IT HERE AND THEN WE CAN, AND SHE SAID BOTH.
OKAY, ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT HEARING NOW LET'S GO TO THREE EMPLOYEES OR CITIZENS COMMENT TO INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT? THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
SO Y'ALL OKAY WITH THAT? SO CAN WE GO TO TRUSTEES VISITING, UH, THE SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOL CAMPUSES? ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT? OKAY.
CAN WE, IF HEARING NONE, CAN WE GO TO TRUSTEES AS PARENTS? ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT? CAN I GO BACK TO THE, I'M SORRY.
CAN IT JUST BE CAMPUSES BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE THAN JUST SCHOOLS PUT A S ON IT.
SCRATCH SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY BUILDING CAMPUSES.
SHE STATED FOR THE SUBTITLE TO BE TRUSTEES VISIT TO CAMPUSES, RIGHT? THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION.
UH, MS. BRYANT THAT THE COMMITTEE, UH, WOULD SAY TRUSTEES VISIT VISITS.
AND WE HAVEN'T ANY PROBLEM, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE'S MORE THAN JUST OUR SCHOOLS.
UM, CAUSE WE HAVE THIS, LIKE I SAID, THE SEEK BUILDING, WE HAVE, UM, WHAT IS IT? TRANSPORTATION.
FRESH SCHOOL AND JUST LIKE CAMPUS, I THINK.
NO, I WAS JUST SAYING THAT WE HAVE MORE THAN JUST SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN OUR DISTRICT.
SO WITH THAT SAID, THIS INFORMATION RIGHT HERE, THAT LADY FROM, UH, C AND D IS SPECIFICALLY, UM, CUZ WHEN WE ARE VISITING CAMPUS, WHEN WE ARE VISITING LIKE ADMINISTRATIVE, NOT ADMINISTRATIVE, I'M SORRY, WHAT IS THAT? S SO THE SEAT, THE SEAT BUILDING, UM, THERE ARE NO STUDENTS THERE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO, YOU'RE STATING WE STILL SHOULD LET DR.
I THINK IT, IT'D BE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE STAFF THERE.
UM, AND I'M JUST AGAIN WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR WORK.
LAST WEEK, UM, WE HAD, AND IT WASN'T A PROBLEM, BUT I WANNA SHARE AN EXAMPLE.
LAST WEEK THERE WAS A TEAM CLERK, THEY HAD A MEETING ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY MORNING.
UM, AND MR. JONES SHOWED UP AT THEIR MEETING.
LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE COMING.
HE DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T KNOW NECESSARILY THAT HE WAS COMING EITHER.
SO I MEAN THAT'S OFFICIAL SCHOOL BUSINESS REGARDING THE, UM, STUDENT DATA, ET CETERA.
AGAIN, AGAIN, I, I DON'T SEE IT AS A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE AND YOU KNOW, SO I GOT AN EMAIL FROM APRIL GOING, HOW DOES HE, EVEN WITH THAT MEAN? NO, WELL, LIKE WENT ON MY CALENDARS.
MAYBE SOMEBODY CALLED IT, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
SO AGAIN, MAYBE SOMEBODY CALLED IT, BUT HE SHOULD KNOW.
[01:20:01]
TRUSTEE JONES SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE, I WOULD REFER TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I HAD, I NEEDED A NEW CHARGER FOR MY IPAD.I JUST PUT ON TALK TO SOMEBODY AND I, AND I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL JUST TO GO UP, YOU KNOW, TO COME AND PICK, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, BUT TO GO UP THERE, I DIDN'T SEE A NEED TO HAVE TO REACH OUT TO, UM, THE SUPERINTENDENT OR ANYONE ELSE TO GET PERMISSION TO GO TO THE SIGNAL.
I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T, IT'S, IT'S NOT A PERMISSION.
IT IS, HEY LISTEN, I GOTTA GO BY AGAIN.
THAT, THAT CAME TO ME FROM MY STAFF AS A CONCERN OF A BOARD MEMBER SHOWING UP.
AGAIN, IT'S NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM AND AN ISSUE.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.
BUT THAT'S A RECENT EXAMPLE OF, OF JUST THIS PAST WEEK.
CAN I, CAN I MAKE A REMARK PLEASE? EVERYBODY AT EVERYBODY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AS AN EXPERIENCED BOARD MEMBER, THAT'S A NORM.
THAT IS A MATTER OF PRACTICE THAT WE AS TRUSTEES ARE THE LAST PERSON.
AND THIS IS MY COMMENT AS A LAST PERSON.
SO I WOULD KNOW WHEN I HAD MY COMPUTER MESS UP, I WOULD CALL MONA, MS. BRYANT AND I WOULD LET HER KNOW THAT I'M HAVING A PROBLEM.
AND EVEN THAT'S BEFORE I CALL MS. ELIZABETH, I WOULD CALL MISS ELIZABETH AFTER I CALL YOU.
IS THAT HOW I DO IT, MS. BRYANT? AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT IF, IF IT, IT'S NOT.
AND I WOULD CALL AFTER I TALKED TO MONET BECAUSE IT COULD LOOK LIKE ME AS A BOARD MEMBER IS TAKING MY AUTHORITY.
THE APPEARANCE IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
MY APPEARANCE COULD LOOK LIKE IF I PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE SEAT BUILDING AND SAY, OH I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT MY, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT COULD BE HAVING THEM DO A SPECIAL PROJECT OR SOMETHING SPECIAL OR THEY COULD BE OUT OF THE OFFICE.
SO I HAVE CONTACTED THE SUPERINTENDENT, UH, OFFICE.
I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO TALK TO DR.
CARRERA ABOUT IT, BUT IF IT IS A NEED AND ANYTHING IN THIS DISTRICT, THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MONA, MS. BRYAN AND DR.
AND SO OUTTA RESPECT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE, I WOULD CALL NOW THAT'S MY COMMENT YOU ALL.
AND PLEASE ALLOW ME, UH, TO CHIME IN BECAUSE I'M A PARTICIPANT AS WELL AS CHAIRING THIS COMMITTEE.
AND I'VE JUST ONLY GIVEN MY FEEDBACK ON HOW I WOULD DO IT.
UH, I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE WORD PROTOCOL, BUT OUTTA COURTESY AND RESPECT AND MY POSITION AS ELECTED OFFICIAL, I WOULD CALL AND I TALKED TO TRUSTEE JONES.
SO AGAIN, FINE, I'M JUST SHARING JUST AN EXAMPLE THAT MY FOLKS, THEY FOR THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO AGAIN, I WOULD JUST ASK, JUST LET ME KNOW.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY PLEASE DO FEELINGS ABOUT IT.
UM, WHEN I WENT UP THERE, I WAS TOLD THAT UM, THEY LIKE FOR THE TRUSTEES TO COME UP THERE.
BARKER WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT SAID IT TO LIKE, FOR THE TRUSTEES TO COME UPSTAIRS.
WAS IT BARKER? HOLD ON, LET ME SEE.
NO, THAT BARK, IT WAS THAT LADY.
I CAN'T THINK YOU WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT.
I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE TO IT WAS, I'M SORRY, IT WAS A BARKER.
ELIZABETH JACKSON, I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS HERE.
SHE WAS LIKE, FOR US TO COME UP THERE AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH, THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OR WHAT'S GOING ON OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THAT WAS EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THEY COULD APPRECIATE THE, UM, TRUSTEES BEING INVOLVED AND COMING UP AND SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO I'M NOT DENYING WHAT YOU'RE STATING, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT WHAT I WAS TOLD AND SHE WENT AS FAR AS DEMONSTRATING CERTAIN THINGS, WHICH BLEW MY MIND.
I WAS ALL EXCITED ABOUT IT AND I MEAN VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
AND SHE WAS EXCITED TO SHOW ME.
UM, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WHERE WE WALK UP IN THERE AND THEY, YOU KNOW, GOT IT.
MAKES IT, IT MAKES IT SEEM OVER THE TOP.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M GONNA HAVE TO, THE GENERAL RULE IS THAT WOULD YOU INVITE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC JUST TO COME AND DROP BY ANY TIME? AND I WOULD SAY NO.
SO, UM, AGAIN, IT'S JUST A COURTESY PIECE OF COURSE.
AND, AND THAT'S, THAT'S, AND THAT IS THE PIECE.
I ALSO FEEL LIKE IF THERE IS A SITUATION OR CONCERN WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTRONICS, WHICH WE ALL HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES, THEN THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN POLICY TO LET US KNOW, TO GET BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WE SHOULD DO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME FOR THAT.
[01:25:01]
SHOULD STILL BE IN POLICY WHAT WE SHOULD DO.BECAUSE I WAS CALLING AROUND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO AND I KNOW SHE WAS IN A MEETING SO I COULD NOT GET HER.
HOWEVER, I KNEW MY SYSTEM WAS OVER THERE AND I WENT AND GOT IT.
BUT, UM, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE OVER.
BUT, AND I ALSO KNOW ONCE, UM, SHE DID OFFER AND I TOLD HER, NO, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'LL GO PICK IT UP BECAUSE I KNOW SHE'D BE BUSY AND I WAS ALREADY OUT.
I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, SO, BUT EITHER OR THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT STATES, YOU KNOW, BEST PRACTICES OR WHAT HAVE YOU WHEN IT COMES TO OUR SYSTEMS ANYWAY.
PERRERA MADE HER RECOMMENDATION.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A TRUSTEE VISIT TO SCHOOLS CAMPUSES OUT.
IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE A REC RECOMMENDATION AS IT RELATES TO VISITING OTHER, UM, CAMPUSES, THEN WE NEED TO PUT THAT IN THERE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE SEC AND THEN WE HAVE OUR, OUR SCHOOLS.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED? NO, YOU HAVE OPERATIONS.
NO, BUT IT'S, IT'S, AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE OFFICIAL BUSINESS THERE, IF THEY'VE INVITED YOU TO COME AND PICK UP A TECHNOLOGY OR YOU HAVE TO DROP IT OFF, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M REFERRING TO.
DROPPING BY WITHOUT ANYBODY KNOWING I THINK IS, IS THE, THE THING THAT I'M ADDRESSING.
IT'S NOT IF YOU HAVE A TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM AND YOU GOTTA GO PICK IT UP, MS. MORRIS JUST DID IT OUTTA COURTESY.
BUT I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THAT.
I'M ONLY ASKING, JUST DON'T SURPRISE THEM IF YOU WILL.
CUZ THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED ON LAST WEEK.
I TALKED FOR TRUSTEE JONES, HE APOLOGIZED FOR I LETTING ME KNOW.
AND I WAS LIKE, NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE.
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THEY PANICKED AND YOU GUYS SHOW UP.
YOU'RE NOT JUST ANYBODY OFF THE STREET.
YOU ARE BOARD MEMBERS AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT DUE RESPECT.
SO THAT'S THE THING THAT I PIECE AND I, YOU WOULDN'T INVITE SOMEBODY OFF THE STREET TO JUST WALK INTO THE BUILDING AND WALK AROUND AND TALK TO PEOPLE.
AND SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU'RE JUST SOMEONE OFF THE STREET.
AND SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST COURTESY.
AND I'M GONNA READ, I'M GONNA READ C I'M GOING TO READ.
C TRUSTEE SHALL CONTACT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE PRIOR TO THEIR VISIT, EXCEPT WHEN ATTENDING A SCHEDULED SCHOOL FUNCTION ARE ACTIVE TO WHICH PARENTS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE INVITED.
AND INDEED TRUSTEES MUST FOLLOW ALL SECURITY PROCEDURES WHEN VISITING A CAMPUS.
THAT ANSWERED THE QUESTION RIGHT THERE.
SHOULD WE AMEND THAT? TAKE IT OUT.
LEAVE IT OR WHAT? THIS COULD BE CLEANED UP AND REPLACED WITH YOUR OKAY.
GIVE A RECOMMENDATION HOW WE CAN CLEAN IT UP.
CAUSE WE GOT TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
CAN YOU JUST BASICALLY LOOK AT IT SOMEONE'S OFFICE PRIOR TO THEIR VISIT TO ANY SCHOOL PROPERTY BUSINESS AND OBSERVE ALL SECURITY PROCEDURES WHILE GO SLOW.
CAUSE MONA IS WRITING IT DOWN.
CAUSE YOU MAKING A RECOMMENDATION, MONA.
OKAY, SO LET ME PUT, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION.
AND THEN BACK TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING.
I HAD A COMMENT FOR AS SUPERINTENDENT KNOW THAT WE'RE ON A CAMPUS, IT'S FOR OUR PROTECTION ALSO.
CAUSE WE HAVE SOME EMPLOYEES THAT WILL COME BACK AND SAY BOARD MEMBERS WERE ON THE CAMPUS, INTIMIDATE THEM OR WE WERE TRYING TO BOSS THEM AND TELL THEM WHAT TO DO.
SO THE SUPERINTENDENT ALWAYS NEEDS TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE THERE, SO SHE'LL KIND OF KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO WE WON'T GET OURSELF IN THE ISSUE FROM EMPLOYEES BEING BOARD MEMBERS PURSUED.
CAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY SUED ME COMPLETELY.
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA GO TO THE SCHOOL AND VOTE NO MORE.
WELL NOW YOU CAN VOTE ANYWHERE.
YOU CAN VOTE ANYWHERE DOING EARLY VOTING? NO.
YOU CAN VOTE ANYWHERE ON THE ELECTION DAY.
ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY? I THINK LAST NOVEMBER.
ANYWHERE AND NOT EARLY VOTING ANYWHERE.
BUT I, I DON'T WANNA GET OFF, UH, TRACK TO THIS.
IS THERE MORE? CUZ WE, YOU ALL, WE WE HAD, WE DOUBLED BACK TO FOUR.
WE WERE DOWN TO COMMUNICATION AND SO IS THERE ANY MORE CONCERNS? SO WE WON'T DOUBLE BACK AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.
DID WE GET TRUSTEES AS PARENTS? NO.
THAN WE WHAT? NO, NO WE DID NOT.
WE HAVE NOT EVEN DOUBLED BACK ON WHICH ONE? TRUSTEES.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOT TRUSTEES' PARENTS.
NO, WE DIDN'T COVER IT, BUT NO.
I ASKED WAS THERE ANY, I ASKED WAS THERE ANY COMMENTS AND NOBODY SAID NOTHING BUT HEARING NO, I, I INTERRUPTED AND ASKED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
AND GUESS WHAT? WE GOT A RECORD IT TO SHOW IT.
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU MR. STEVENS.
I MAY BE LOOKING AT YOU, BUT I'M JUST BASICALLY MAKING A STATEMENT.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL, IT'S NOT PERSONAL.
[01:30:01]
SO DO, IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH TRUSTEES AND PARENTS? OKAY.WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMUNICATION.
IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH COMMUNICATION? I DO HAVE ONE, BUT I WOULD YIELD THE FLOOR TO ANYONE ELSE THAT WANT TO HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO COMMUNICATION ON PAGE SIX.
I HAVE, UM, I WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD SHOWED ME WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
ARE THERE, UM, WHEN IT STATES TO MEET WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ON A REGULAR BASIS, CAN YOU PLEASE BREAK DOWN? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MEETING AT ADMINISTRATIVE? BUILDING MEETING AT THE SCHOOL, GOING OUT TO HAVING BRUNCH AND HAVING AND CALL IN IN, I MEAN, HAVING A MEETING DURING BRUN, IT CAN BE ANYWHERE.
IT, THE MEETING CAN BE ANYWHERE.
THAT'S JUST WHEREVER THEY WOULD CHOOSE TO MEET IF IT'S LUNCH, DINNER AT THE OFFICE VIA PHONE.
SO I WOULD, I, THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IN DETAIL AS IT RELATES TO IS THIS, UM, IS THIS MEETING COSTING THE DISTRICT OR THE, FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD TO MEET WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT IS IF IT'S COSTING THE DISTRICT FOR THEM TO HAVE THEIR MEETING.
SO, AND ANOTHER THING IS, UM, CLARIFICATION OF THE BREAKDOWN OF THESE MEETINGS.
CAUSE THERE'S A LOT THAT THERE'S MON WHY YOU READING THAT? WOULD YOU, UH, PROVIDE US WITH THE POLICY THAT'S IN POLICY THAT THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND THE BOARD, UH, SUPERINTENDENT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT NOW, BUT I IF YOU HAVE IT NOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, THEN MAKE SURE EACH BOARD MEMBER GET IT.
THEY HAVE A, YOU ASKED WAS THERE A FEE TO IT OR WHATEVER.
UH, THERE'S NO FEE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.
THAT'S PART OF THE SUPERINTENDENT'S JOB.
OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO LUNCH, WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR LUNCH? WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THE LUNCH? ACTUALLY THE DISTRICT CAN PAY FOR IT CUZ IT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT IT'S DOING.
OR MS. HAMILTON CAN PAY FOR HER OWN LUNCH IF SHE CHOOSE TO, OR DR.
PERRERA CAN PAY FOR IT OUT OF HER BUDGET.
SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IS THAT IT HAS BEEN STRESSED THAT WE, WHAT WE HAVE BUDGET FOR, WHAT WE DON'T HAVE BUDGET FOR OR WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, AND I'M GONNA, WE DON'T BUDGET FOR THAT BECAUSE DR.
PERRERA HANDLES HER OWN BUDGET.
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, MOST TIME I PAY FOR MYSELF.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY IS THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE BUDGET THAT DR.
PERERA RECEIVES COME FROM THE DISTRICT.
DO IT NOT, I HAVE NOT GONE OVER MY BUDGET.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT STATING THAT DR.
PER, I'M JUST STATING FOR CLARIFICATION.
DO YOU WANNA SEE HER IZED STATEMENT? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? NO, I WOULD LIKE A QUESTION ANSWER WITHOUT IT BEING A CONDESCENDING REMARK.
IT'S JUST BASICALLY TRYING TO GET CLARITY.
I'M ASKING, I JUST ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION AND I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLARITY TO WHAT YOU ASKING.
UH, MS. MORRIS, IF YOU HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO GET THE FULL STATEMENT OF DR.
PEREZ'S, UH, CREDIT CARD AND SEND IT TO THE BOARD, PLEASE DO SO.
IF I MAY, UH, CAN I COMMENT ON THIS SECTION PLEASE? UH, PART OF MY OBJECTION AS A WHOLE TO THIS DOCUMENT, I THINK MADAM CHAIR YOU TOUCHED ON EARLIER, THIS WHOLE THING IS MALICIOUS AND INTENT.
NO, YOU SAID THAT I DIDN'T SAID IT.
I ASSUME THAT'S WHY Y'ALL DIDN'T VOTE FOR IT AT FIRST WHEN I READ IT.
IT IS LIKE THE WHOLE THING EXISTS TO PUT THE BOARD IN A BOX TO PREVENT THE BOARD FROM DOING ANYTHING THEY MIGHT WANT TO DO OR ACTING AS A BOARD WITH RESPECT TO COMMUNICATION.
THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL COMMUNICATE WITH NOT THAT PART.
WE COMMUNICATE TO ALL TRUSTEES ANY INFORMATION REQUESTED BY TRUSTEES UNLESS RELEASE IS UNLAWFUL.
BUT THE BOARD HAS TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THROUGH THE, UH, NO, WE DON'T.
I READ THAT AND WELL AFTER, BUT I, WE, WE, WE'VE HAD IT.
EVERYTHING IS SUPERINTENDENT, SUPERINTENDENT, SUPERINTENDENT.
CERTAIN THINGS ARE BEST PRACTICES, BUT NO, IT'S NOT LONGER.
SO I WOULD SAY THIS, UH, TO YOU MR. STEVENS.
I WAS GONNA ADD SOMETHING TO THAT IN THE LINE OF COMMUNICATION, TEXTING.
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHERE I, WHAT I GOT OUT OF THAT STATEMENT.
WHAT I GOT OUT OF THAT STATEMENT.
SOMETIME THE BOARD, THE SUPERINTENDENT HAVE, HAVE, WE ALL CAN CONTEST THAT DR.
PERRERA HAS SENT US MESSAGES OR COMMUNICATED WITH US THROUGH TEXTS, RIGHT? LIKE IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY OR SOMETHING, SHE'S TRYING TO LET US KNOW ABOUT
[01:35:01]
SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENED.MY SUGGESTION WAS GONNA ADD TEXT MESSAGING TO THAT.
BUT REASON HOW I PERCEIVE THIS AS A SEASONED BOARD MEMBER OR JUST PERCEPTION IS THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT WANT, IF SHE NEEDS TO CONTACT US OR COMMUNICATE WITH US BECAUSE WE CAN'T TEXT HER AND TEXT ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.
LET WHAT I'M TRYING ABOUT YOU DON'T HAVE, DON'T.
AND SO THIS DOCUMENT IS NUMBER C, RIGHT? YOUR CONTROL, COMMUNICATION OF BOARD MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND ANYWHERE ELSE, OKAY? AND THAT IS, SO WHAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION? INAPPROPRIATE AND INCONSISTENT WITH ANYTHING IN THE STATUTE.
SO WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE, WHAT IS THE STATUTE? WOULD YOU LIKE US TO REFERENCE? NO, I'M, WE NEED TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
WE NEED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.
MS. WE HAVEN'T GOT ENOUGH TIME.
BECAUSE WE CAN END IT AND PICK IT UP NOW.
OR WE CAN DO DO YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO FINISH THIS ONE TODAY.
SO WE SHOULD SHARE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO DISTRICT BUSINESS.
THE ISSUE BEFORE THE BOARD SHOULD RELAY THE INFORMATION TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT OR SUPERINTENDENT DISTRIBUTION TO ALL TRUSTEES AND IS RIDICULOUS.
WHICH ONE ARE YOU READING? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHICH ONE ARE YOU READING? I THINK YOU ON PAGE SEVEN.
OKAY, WE ARE WE THROUGH WITH SIX? CAUSE YOU STARTED READING FROM SIX.
DID YOU GET WHAT I ADDED FOR I'M REGISTERED ON THE COMMUNICATION.
TEXTING TO INCLUDE TEXTING MESSAGES.
AND SO NOW WE CAN GO TO PAGE SEVEN AND UH, UH, I WAS JUST TELLING HER THE, TO DISTRICT FACILITIES, THIS IS BOARD ME SHALL MICHELLE, IF HERE'S ANY POST REQUIREMENTS, VISIT JUST THE FIRST REPORT TO THE MAIN OFFICE OF A DISTRICT FACILITY.
MR. PUT A SCHOOL CAMPUS VISIT THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS STATION UNDER PERMITTED IF THEIR DURATION OR FREQUENCY INTERFERES WITH THE DELIVER OF INSTRUCTIONAL OR DISTRICT.
BUT THAT DOESN'T, THAT DOESN'T THAT AND WHAT'S BEING ASKED IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO, CAUSE THAT'S STATING THAT WE SHOULD REPORT TO THE MAIN OFFICE OF WHATEVER DISTRICT, WHATEVER SCHOOL WE'RE VISITING OR BUILDING, WE'RE VISITING.
UM, BUT I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT.
YOU CAN, BUT IF YOU, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT BOARD MEMBERS HAVE PUT IN PLACE OVER THE YEARS AND IT'S BEEN COMPILING.
BUT MS. WHITFIELD GOT A POINT BECAUSE IF YOU TURN THE PAGE, ON THE PAGE, IT SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO ADHERE TO SECURITY.
AND SO THAT BASICALLY, THIS RIGHT HERE, JUST A SUMMARY TO WHAT THAT IS.
IT SAID TRUSTEES MUST FOLLOW ALL SECURITY PROCEDURES WHEN VISITING THE CAMPUS.
AND IF THAT IS INCLUDED BY REPORTING TO THE MAIN OFFICE, THEN WE GOTTA DO IT.
THE, IT'S STATING NO MAIN OFFICE IS NOT THE ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING.
MAIN OFFICE IS THE MAIN OFFICE OF THE BUILDING WE VISIT.
RIGHT? AND I'M SAYING D IT SAYS TRUSTEES MUST FOLLOW ALL SECURITY PROCEDURES WHEN VISITING A CAMPUS.
I DON'T THINK THAT WAS AN, UH, A QUESTION AND A CONCERN.
WELL IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT VISITING DISTRICT FACILITIES, EITHER THAT YOU TAKE THE WORD FACILITIES AND PUT CAMPUS, DO WE WANNA PUT FACILITIES HERE INSTEAD OF CAMPUS? NO, THAT WAS, WELL THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AS BOARD OPERATE PROCEDURE, HOW THINGS HAVE ARISE.
LIKE SAY YOU HAD BOARD MEMBERS THAT WAS LIKE ABUSING THE AUTHORITY ON CAMPUS.
THAT'S HOW THIS LANDED IN THIS DOCUMENT AT SOME POINT IN TIME BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED.
DO YOU, DO YOU, IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION MS. HAMILTON TO TAKE IT OUT? NO, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LETTING HIM KNOW.
SO DO WE NEED TO REWORD THIS TO SAY FACILITY AND, AND PUT THE IT WHAT? PASS THAT? WELL, SHE WAS JUST MAKING A CLARIFICATION TO WHAT LEGAL STATED THAT WAS IT.
AND I WAS ONLY STATING IT WAS IN THE POLICY.
SO, UM, G OH, CAN I GO TO L BEFORE WE GO TO G, MR. STEVENSON? I'M, I'M SORRY.
SHE'LL MEET WITH ON REGULAR BASIS.
UH, WHERE DO I I'M SORRY MS. UM, I'M LOOKING THANK YOU.
I WANT AGAIN, I WANT IT AGAIN.
IF NOBODY'S GONNA TO SAY ANYTHING, I WANT IT AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDE TEXT MESSAGES.
[01:40:01]
ON, ON PAGE SEVEN AS WELL AGAIN.DO ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING? UH, WE DID GET MR. STEVENS ON G WE HAVE ANYTHING WITH H I I APOLOGIZE.
WHAT WAS THE CLARIFI? WHAT WAS MR. STEVENS? UM, I I HAVE NO OBJECTION.
YOU HAD NO OBJECTION CAUSE I, I DO.
WHY DID YOU PULL BACK YOUR OBJECTION? UH, I DON'T KNOW.
REALLY? YOU SAY EVERYTHING IS POINTLESS BUT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT YOU SAY IT'S POINTLESS.
IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT, SAY SO.
IT BECOME POINTLESS IF YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
YOU HAVE TO EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN BECAUSE TALKING ABOUT NOT DOING SO OF IS POINTLESS.
AND CAN WE CLARIFY IF THAT'S ALL BEING ON? UH, NUMBER SIX, COMMUNICATIONS.
YOU THREW MY, MY CAN AND TRASH.
I CAN'T DRINK A SODA WITHOUT A GIRL.
NO, I THINK I ONLY HAD ONE, BUT I OH THANK GOD.
I CAN ONLY DRINK OUT OF THE STRAW.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS, UH, MSEL WHAT WAS YOUR UH, CHANGE IN G? SHE'S GONNA FOLLOW UP.
SHE'S GOING TO CLARIFY SOME THINGS FOR ME AND THEN I'LL, WE CAN RE BACK.
DO YOU MIND WHILE SHE'S LOOKING FOR A, WE COULD GO TO H.
DO ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERN? WOULD I HAVE A COMMENT? I DO TOO.
BUT CONSIDER HAVING OUR COMMUNICATION THERE A NEED FOR THE BOARD REFERENCE ON STATEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY.
I'M SORRY, WHICH ONE ARE YOU TAKING ON? CAUSE THAT'S NOT H YOU GONNA PAY YOUR SEVEN.
I DONE LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE BOARD OR TRUSTEES FROM THE COMMUNITY WILL BE FORWARD TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT OR SUPERINTENDENT FOR INCLUSION IN THE WEEKLY ELECTRONIC BOARD NEWS LETTER.
AND IF MY COMMENT, IT'S MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD TO CONSIDER HAVING OUR COMMUNICATION AS A NEED THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT BUT HER.
SHE CAN APPOINT SOMEONE FOR, UH, FOR THE BOARD REFERENCE ON STATEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND UH, IF YOU NEED IT WRITTEN DOWN, IT'S JUST MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
WHAT YOU MEAN STATEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY? YEAH.
THESE ARE ABOUT LETTERS THAT WE RECEIVE.
PERRERA CAN HAVE A DESIGNEE, LIKE SOMEONE THAT RE THAT SHE GETS THE LETTER AND SHE GETS THE DESIGNEE TO RESPOND TO IT.
BUT SHE DOES THAT ANYWAY, DON'T SHE? MM-HMM.
WHEN WE GIVE HERE, SHE GIVE IT TO RIGHT YOU ALL.
THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING EVERYBODY.
CAUSE THEIR THAT'S WHAT APE SAYS THOUGH.
JUST LOOK AT IT THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO HAVE A DESIGNEE TO COMMUNICATE WITH HER.
BUT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT HER HAVING ADDING TO THE ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER.
LIKE THE, THE ACTUAL IDENTIFIABLE LETTER THAT I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THAT.
IT'S LIKE FOR ME TO BE SCRATCHED.
I MEAN I, WHAT I CAN DO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE THE SUBJECT FROM AN EMAIL AND TAKE THIS SPREADSHEET, RESOLVE OR NOT, UM, AND HAVE AN ACTIVE LINK TO IT IN YOUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER.
FOR ME THAT'S, AND YOU CAN DO THAT DR.
BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IF YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE OR IF IT'S SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY GET A LETTER, I'M JUST ONLY SAYING IT.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT SHE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DESIRE.
IT, IT WILL LIKELY, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING WITH TRANSPORTATION IS NOT GONNA BE ME NECESSARILY ADDRESSING THAT.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I'M SAYING THAT THE ADD THE WORD DESIGN AEE.
SO JUST SAY ADD THE WORD DESIGNEE, SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE.
BECAUSE LIKE YOU, I ALSO HAVE TO BE
[01:45:01]
CAREFUL OF THE AMOUNT OF DETAILS THAT I RECEIVE IN THE SITUATION.SO BECAUSE ESPECIALLY WITH EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE THOSE THINGS DO COME THROUGH ME.
UM, AND I TOO WOULD HAVE TO RECUSE MYSELF JUST AS YOU IF I GET TOO MANY DETAILS.
SO I TRULY DO NOT GET EVERY SINGLE BIT IN DETAIL.
UM, MY DESIGNATION ME, BUT NOT NECESSARILY ME AND SOMEBODY FROM THE BOARD MAY GET THIS AND SAY, WELL, SUPERINTENDENT SHOULD HAVE TOLD US THIS.
WHY YOU HAVING THIS PERSON TO TELL US? NO, IT'S, IT'S MYSELF DESIGNATION AND IT'S IN OUR POLICY ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENT CAN'T HAVE, BUT THERE'S A NEED.
BUT SEE THE THING ABOUT THAT IS IT'S LIKE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WHATEVER, I GUESS WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, WITH UH, MS. BRYANT BEING THE EXCEPTION.
BUT YET WE HAVE DESIGNATIONS OF ANYBODY ELSE CAN COME BACK AND SAY SOMETHING AND THEN IF WE SAY SOMETHING TO THEM, THEN IT BECOMES AN ISSUE DEPENDING ON HOW THAT CONVERSATION GOES.
SO WHAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION? THE MIND STILL STAND.
YOU GOT A RECOMMENDATION YOU WANT TO ADD TO IT FOR THE BOARD AS IS.
HMM? TO CLARIFY, IF ME BEING LEAV AS IS TO DESIGNATE ANYBODY, DR.
PERRERA DOES THAT ANYWAY AS NECESSARY.
IF NECESSARY CASE BY CASE SITUATION BECAUSE ALL THE INFORMATION IS NOT, UH, IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE TO MS. WHITFIELD.
I'M NOT GOING TO PULL MY RECOMMENDATION BACK.
THIS IS ONLY GOING TO THE BOARD.
YOU SAID LEAVE IT AS IS PUTTING MS. WHITFIELD TO LEAVE IT AS RECOMMENDATION TO PULL IT BACK.
BUT I ALSO, UH, MAYBE WE, I GUESS WE DID PASS THIS UP BECAUSE I WAS TALKING TO MS. BRYANT, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT E I THINK F AND G CAUSE HERE SAID WE JUMPED TO EIGHT.
SO, UH, INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES CANNOT SPEAK IN AN, IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY OUTSIDE THE BOARDROOM OR CALL OR ATTEND MEETINGS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BOARD EXCEPT AS SET FOR HEARING AND IN BOARD POLICY WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD.
SO WAS THIS THE EXCEPTION TO THE PRESIDENT OR IS THIS INCLUDING CUZ THIS SAYS INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES IN WHICH I WOULD TAKE THAT TO BE THE PRESIDENT AS WELL.
THAT IS A WHOLE, LET ME BE CLEAR, SPECIFY IN WHAT IT SAYS IN THE STATUTE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I'M JUST ASKING THIS.
I'M THIS BECAUSE IT'S HERE BECAUSE I HAVE A QUESTIO AND CONCERN TO ADDRESS THAT.
SO I'M ASKING FOR THE CLARIFICATION.
INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES CANNOT SPEAK.
AND MY QUESTION IS, DOES THIS INCLUDE THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY TO WHAT? TO, TO WHAT? HAVE TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT BOARD INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES.
CANNOT YOU JUST SO YOU CAN'T SPEAK ENOUGH IT OUTSIDE THE BOARD FROM BOARD.
YOU CAN SPEAK FOR YOUR DISTRICT.
YOU CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE BOARD.
WELL YOUR DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE ELECTED BY THE BODY OF YOUR DISTRICT.
YOU CAN SPEAK FOR YOUR DISTRICT BUT YOU CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE BOARD.
YOU CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE BOARD.
IF, IF I'M IN A COMMUNITY AND I'M A REPRESENTATIVE AND A BOARD AND A COMMUNITY MEMBER COME AND ASK ME WHAT DID WE HAVE OUR MEETING ON? I CAN TALK ABOUT IT.
I CAN TELL 'EM WE HAVE OUR MEETING ON THE, OKAY.
SO WE DON'T KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY WROTE THIS OR WHAT THEY MINDSET WAS GOING WITH THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THIS MEANS CAUSE I AIN'T WRITE IT WHEN YOU SEE HOW I INTERPRET IT.
EVERYBODY INTERPRET RIGHT? AND THEY'RE SAYING IN AGREEMENT WITH ME.
THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL PHONE OUR EMAIL.
ALL TRUSTEES, ANY URGENT INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT WAIVE.
SO WE DO THAT IN MY YOUNG THING THAT I, RIGHT.
AND COULD I SAY SOMETHING? I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU DR.
PERRERA, FOR YOUR FAMILY TEXTS AND UPDATES ON STUFF THAT'S GOING ON.
THAT'S MUCH APPRECIATED BY MANY OF US.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY IS WHEN UM, TEXT MESSAGES ARE GOING OUT ARE WHEN YOU'RE SENDING THE MATH IS USUALLY, UM, THEY'RE SENT OUT, WHETHER IT'S GONNA BE IN A GROUP OR INDIVIDUALLY, EVEN IF THEY SENT, UM, TO ONE PERSON, IS IT BEING SENT TO EVERYONE? CAUSE THE REASON I ASK THIS BECAUSE, UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN, THERE ARE CERTAIN TEXT MESSAGES THAT ARE SENT OUT.
I'M LEARNING THAT NOT EVERYONE RECEIVED.

SO WE CAN DO NEXT MONDAY, EARLY MONDAY.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT THOUGH? OH, I'M OKAY.
I CAN'T, I DON'T WANNA BRING DAUGHTER.
SO NICK, IF ANYBODY ELSE, IF, IF, LET ME, LET ME SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU ALL.
WE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOING THIS THROUGH ZOOM.
NOBODY THOUGHT OF THIS, BUT IF WE GONNA HAVE A MEETING THROUGH ZOOM, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY GOT A LINK TO IT IN THE COMMUNITY.
IT HAD TO BE POSTED AS IF WE HAVING UH, A ZOOM MEETING LIKE WE DID BEFORE.
AND UH, SO YOU HAVE TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT THAT.
I WOULD NOT ADVISE THIS TO BE IN A ZOOM MEETING.
UM, AND JUST A THREE HOUR SHOWING UP.
SO THE ZOOM, IF ITS JUST THE COMMITTEE, THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.
I AM NOT GOING HAVE, I'M NOT GONNA HAVE A MEETING MEETING.
ALL MEETINGS BE POSTED NOW, MEETING A IN AGREEMENT.
THESE NO, I DIDN'T HAVE, WE GOT A DATE NEXT MONDAY DURING, BUT I'MA CHECK HER SCHEDULE CAUSE WE HAVE CABINET FROM NINE TO 11.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHECK HER FOR THE AFTERNOON.
AFTERNOON FOR IN THE MEAN ROOM.
CAUSE I'M NOT, I'M NOT GOING TO AGREE TO ZOOM.
YOU'RE, I'M NOT AGREEING TO HAVING THIS MEETING POSTED FOR A ZOOM MEETING.
I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THAT FOR MY OWN PURPOSE.
REASON NOBODY GOING MARIANNE, I'M NOT GONNA LIVE.
I'M NOT GOING TO START START IT BE LIVE.
YOU'VE, IT'S THE SAME BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DO, UH OH.
IT WILL DO LIVE STREAMING, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT THE ONLY LIVE STREAM WE HAVE.
I MEAN THIS IS AN OPEN MEETING RIGHT NOW.
ANYBODY CAN WALK IN AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SAME THING.
BUT WE'RE NOT DOING IT THROUGH ZOOM.
NOW AS A CHAIR, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? AS THE CHAIR? NOW YOU ALL CAN HAVE A MEETING HOWEVER YOU WANT, BUT AS A CHAIR, I AM NOT AGREEING TO HAVE THIS MEETING.
YOU ONLY GOT ONE VOTE CHAIR OR NOT? WHERE I VOTE NO.
YOU ALL VOTED BUT AT, SO Y'ALL HAVE MY ZOOM.
AND I'M NOT GIVING MY PERMISSION WHEN I SAY THAT YOU JUST TAKE IT UP ON YOURSELF AND HAVE A MEETING.
AND THEN WHEN WE MEET ON MONDAY NIGHT, WHEN WE COME IN HERE TO MEET ON MONDAY NIGHT, YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY HAD YOUR MEETING.
JUST GIVE US THE INFORMATION FROM YOUR MEETING SO WE CAN FORWARD IT ON YOUR BOARD.
WE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A ZOOM MEETING MONDAY AND WE WILL HAVE OUR MEETING MONDAY NIGHT.
WHO IS WE AND WHAT MEETING? SEVEN 30.
OH, WHAT MEETING YOU HAVING IN JUNE? SO WE GONNA HAVE TWO MEETINGS.
SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN MONDAY NIGHT AS A CHAIR.
I WILL BE HERE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.
WHEN YOU ALL HAVE MET THE TWO OF YOU COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO POST THAT.
WHEN YOU ALL HAVE MET AND CAME UP WITH YOUR OPINIONS ON WHATEVER YOU GET THROUGH ON THAT ZOOM MEETING, PRESENT THEM TO, AND THEN WHEN WE COME HERE, WHEN I COME HERE AND OPEN UP WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM AND I WILL SAY THIS IS THEIR RECOMMENDATION.
BUT I WILL BE HERE, BUT I'M NOT COMING BACK FOR ANOTHER MEETING.
IF WE'RE GONNA SCHEDULE A MEETING FOR MONDAY, ONLY ONE PERSON HAS TO BE ON ZOOM, BUT IT'S STILL GONNA BE POSTED.
SO THAT MEANS WE'LL MOST LIKELY WILL BE DOWNSTAIRS.
[02:00:01]
SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING TO COME BACK IF WE ALREADY HAVE AN EXCEPTION? YOU DIDN'T HEAR WHAT MR. STEVENS SAID.AND SO THAT'S WHY I SAID ARE WE HAVING A MEETING HERE? YOUR VOTE IS MORE THAN ALL THE REST OF OUR VOTES PUT TOGETHER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'M NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
THIS IS A DISCUSSION WHEN WE HAVE IN IT.
I SAID I WASN'T AS A CHAIR, I WASN'T A YOU WILL NOT BE HERE.
OKAY, WELL, SO IF WE HAVE A MEETING, TAKE OVER ONE PERSON.
BE I DON'T HAVE A BITE CHAIR ON THIS, ON THIS COMMITTEE.
I DON'T HAVE A VICE CHAIR ON THIS COMMITTEE.
WELL YOU CAN, YOU CAN DO THAT, BUT WE GOTTA DO IT IN THE BOARD.
LIKE THIS MEETING WAS, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
SO WHO, WHO OVERSEES THE MEETING IF A CHAIR IT'S NOT THERE.
WELL IF YOU ALL ARE HAVING A MEETING AND IT IS THREE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE TO BE, IT IS GOING TO BE POSTED.
SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IT RIGHT AT FIVE 30 MONDAY EVENING.
NO, WE WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING IT EARLIER THAN FIVE.
NO, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVING IT EARLY AT FIVE.
I ASKED IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE IT EARLY.
I NEVER, I DIDN'T HEAR AN OBJECTION.
I SAID WELL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID.
CAUSE I WAS SAYING EARLY, BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE AT CHURCH OKAY.
SO IF YOU HAVE TO BE AT CHURCH ON MONDAY, IF YOU DON'T MIND, SEND YOUR CONCERNS IN.

UM, IF YOU HAVE AND I, THE TIME, WHATEVER YOU DO, WE HAVE ONES COMING IN OR WE, YOU GONNA HAVE, YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT'S FOR THE HEAD SHOT.
