>> SO WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEF, SO JUST 65 EVOLVED WITH AN IDEAE HAVE THE FAP PROGRAM ALREADY AT SAND VEHICLE AND THE CFL PROGRAM WAS NEW TO US IT WAS IMPORTANT R US TO HAVE ACCESS.

SO OUR CFL IS STUDENTS THAT ARE USING ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNICATE SO THEY MIGHT BE USG THEIR IPADS TO COMMUNICATED AND THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING SPECIL PROGRAMMING IS TO TEACH THEM WAO COMMUNICATE THEIR NEED AND WANTO AS YOU CAN TELL AT THE VIDEO THE SMALL COMMENT AT THE END IS A BL THING BECAUSE OUR RELATED ARTS M WOULDN'T GET TO ACCESS OUR TEAMF THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC MC AND MOVEMENT SO WE HAD TO REDO R ENTIRE MASTER SCHEDULE AND EVERE SAYS WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMEONE'S MASTER SCHEDULE YOU CAN TELL WHA IMPORTANT TO THEM AND THROUGH TT OUR TEACHER COULDN'T BE MERE TONIGHT BUT IT'S MOST IMPORTANTR HIM TO SEND THE MESSAGE THAT EVN WITH WITHOUT WORDSS THERE'S SUCH COMMUNICATION AND BONDING HAPPEG SO I THINK FOR US THAT THAT WASE MOST IMPORTANT THING, AND I'LL T

THEM SHARE. >>> OUR STEAM WORK REALLY WELL TOGETHER AND I THINK MAYBE WHY THAT'S BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL.

I DID RUN INTO A PARENT AT THE FARMERS MARKET AND I APOLOGIZE D HER DAUGHTER GOT PAINT ON HER AD SHE SAID THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE THT

[00:05:04]

>>> I THINK IT'S BEEN GREAT TO K WITH THE KIDS ONE-ON-ONE AND LEN ABOUT THEM AND WE'VE HAD A LOT F GREAT INFORMATION SHARED THROUGH THE CFL TEACHER BY THE PARENTS D LEARNING WHAT THE KIDS LIKE BECE COMMUNICATION IS SUCH AN ISSUE O FINDING OUT FROM THEIR PARENTS THEY'RE REALLY INTO MUSIC, AND THEY'RE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT, WE'LL TAKE THE IDEAS OF WHAT THE KIDS LIKE OR T THEY'RE WORKING ON IN THEIR CLASSROOM, IF THEY'RE STUDYING Y PARTS WEST VIRGINIA WE'VE WORKED THAT INTO SONG.

>>> >>> ANY QUESTIONS?

MODELED ELSEWHERE IN OUR DISTRI? >> THE MUSIC AND MOVEMENT THAT WE'RE DOING AND THE ADAPTIVE PE STYLE?

OR HAVING THE PROGRAM? >> BOTH.

>> I THINK IT'S JUST AT SAND CRK BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE ARET

OTHER SCHOOLS THAT -- >> WHEN MS. SELLBY COMES UP HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION.

>> BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NOT EVERY SCHOOL HAS A CFL CLASS AND AT RR SIDE I NOTICED THAT BASKET SWINN THE ROOM AND I REMEMBER MRS. SOL SAID SHE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR ATTITUDE AND DISPOSITION M BEING ON THAT SWING, BECAUSE A T OF TIMES IF THEY'RE BOUND TO A CHAIR THEY DON'T HAVE THAT MOVEMENT.

SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT HAVIG ALL THOSE OTHER OPTIONS WITH MUC

AND ART CAN DO FOR A CHILD. >> [INDISCERNIBLE] S.

>>> I WILL SAY TOO JUST BEING IN THAT SYSTEMS REROOM WE SEE THATS SOMETHING EXTRA BUT I'M FORTUNAI SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN FAP AND , SPECIAL ED BACKGROUND AND THE AMOUNT OF HANDLE THAT LANGUAGE T I SEE THEM USING WILL BLOW YOUR MIND, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S THAT CONTENT VOCABULARY THAT WE'RE SEEKING IN THE CLASSROOM BUT THT INTERACTIVE PLAY WITH EACH OTHES REALLY SUCH A HEART-WARMING AND BEAUTIFUL THING. THEY ALSO DO A REALLY FUN PARADT THE END WHICH YOU DIDN'T GET TOE WHERE WE HAD A SPEAKER AND ONE F OUR STUDENTS IN A WHEELCHAIR IS USUALLY THE GRAND MARSHAL AND WE WALK BACK TO CLASS AND THE OTHER DAY WE HAD A SUB IN KINDERGARTEN AND SHE WAS DANCING DOWN THE HAL WAY WHEN SHE SAW US WALKING DOW, SO DEFINITELY BRIGHTENS YOUR DAY WHEN YOU SEE THEM ALL TOGETHER D JUST THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE COHESIONIVELY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S APPLICABLE TO WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING IN CLASS AND ALSO SUPER ENGAGING AND FUN, IT'S A BEAUTIL THING.

>>> HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE IN THE CRSFL AND HOW MANY IN FAP?

[4.02 Certified and Support Staff Reports]

>> FIRST AND SECOND, ANY QUESTIS ON THAT ONE? ASK JANET TO CALL FOR THE VOTE.

[4.03 Staff and Admin Compensation]

>> AS THE BOARD MAY RECALL WHENE DID OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT THIS YEAR WE ESSENTIAY ELIMINATED THE LOW END OF THE SE OR STEP A AND ADDED -- MOVED EVERYTHING UP AND ADDED TO THE P OF THE SCALE SO AS DR. STOKES COMMUNICATED PREVIOUSLY THAT WAS THE SAME MODEL WE WERE USING FOR OUR SUPPORT STAFF AND OUR ADMINISTRATIVE RAISES SO WE ESSENTIALLY FOR EVERY POSITION T HAS A STEP SCHEDULE WE DID THE E THING, SO IF THERE WERE STEPS OP THE SCHEDULE STEP TWO IS STEP OE AND WE MAINTAINED ALL THE SAME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CALCULATIONS AND THE TEACHERS CONTRACT, IT'S A FLAT 2.9 PERCE, OURS VARY ACROSS THE BOARD AND I COULD TELL YOU WHY BUT I DON'T KNOW, AND IF HE WE TRIED TO NORMALIZE THAT TO ALL 2.9 PERCET IT WAS GOING TO COST AN ADDITIOL MILLION DOLLARS DOLLARS IN SALAY AND BENEFITS AND WE COULD NOT AFFORD THAT. SO THAT IS THE OVERALL, THE ONE MOST NOTABLE CHANGE, THE ACCOUNG SUPERVISOR AND THE PAYROLL SUPERVISOR WERE SHIFTED ON TO TR OWN SCHEDULE, BOTH POSITIONS HAE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE FORA PERIOD OF TIME SO THEY'RE MAXEDT AT THE TOP OF THE SCALE BUT OUR CURRENT ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND PAYROLL STAFF ARE ON THEIR OWN SCALE THAT'S PAID HIGHER THAN SE OF THE OTHER POSS THIS CENTRAL OFFICE BECAUSE OF THE PAYROLL SUPERVISOR IS MANAGING PAY AND BENFITS FOR 2500 STAFF, THE ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR IS MANAGIG 284 MILLION-DOLLAR IN SPENDING O THAT'S THE RATIONALE THAT WORKL, THEY USED TO BE ON THEIR OWN SCHEDULE AND THEN THEY GOT LUMPD IN SO YOU CAN SEE THE OLD AND NW SCALES. THE NOW SCALE WILL TOP OUT AT 73767. ANY STAFF MEMBER WHO HAS WORKED 3-4S SO OF THEIR WORKDAYS GETS O ADVANCE A STEP, SO NOT ONLY DID WHAT THE BOARD IS CONSIDERING IS THE SAME THING WE DID FOR TEACH, THE ACCEPT THAT YOU'RE ON WILL O UP AND THEN YOU ADVANCE A STEP O THAT'S WHERE WE COME UP WITH A O TO FIVE PERCENT RAISE BECAUSE IS NOT GOING TO BE 5.6 BUT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE TWO, YOU LK AT THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TOP OFE SCALE AS OPPOSED TO THE BOTTOM.

THIS WILL BE RETRO ACTIVE TO JU1 FOR ADMINISTRATORS, HOURLY STAFS

[00:15:01]

PRACTICE. >> MAY I ASK A CLARITY QUESTION? THE VERY LAYMAN QUESTION SO AS E DID WITH OUR TEACHERS WE'RE GOIG NOW -- BASICALLY JUST MOVING EVERYTHING UP ONE.

>> FOR THE MOST PART EXCEPT THE EXCEPTIONS I MENTIONED, AND I WOULD -- TO DR. STOKES AND MS. CHAMBERS AND THE BOARD THIS DELAY IS ENTIRELY ON ME, WE HAD SOME THINGS COME UP SO WE HAVE O CALCULATE BY EMPLOYEE WHERE THEE AT SO I COULD HAVE SENT IT AND HOPED WE HAD THE FUNDS BUT THOUT IN MIGHT BE A BETTER OPTION.

>> AND WE JUST ALL OF THIS IS JT A ONE YEAR CONTRACT, IS THAT RI?

>> THE CONTRACT RENEWALS DOPE HAPPEN RIGHT NOW THAT HAPPENS OA DIFFERENT POINT AND I THINK MAYE PAYROLL PREPARES THAT AND HUMAN RAIN RAIN SHOWERS RESOURCES ANDI THINK THAT WAS ALREADY DONE IN E OR JULY SO THAT'S JUST FOR OR INFORMATION WHEN WE HIRE PEOPLE THEY'RE NORMALLY ON A ONE OR TWO YEAR AGREEMENT TO START.

>>> THANK YOU. >> CAN I MAKE A QUICK COMMENT?

SOME SCHOOLS ARE COMPELLING THA, SOME ARE RIGHT AT THAT LEVEL AND SOME SCHOOLS ARE MOM STILL A WOK IN PROGRESS, STAFFING IS AN ISSE EVEN [INDISCERNIBLE]. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRUSION YOU TO MR.

[00:25:03]

TO HAVE A TEAM WITH THIS MUCH EXPERIENCE COMING INTO THIS SETG WHERE IT'S A STARTUP AND TRYINGO IMPLEMENT PROCESSES TO BRING THE CLEANING STANDARDS TO MATCH THE PRESTIGE OF THE SUCCINCT, SO EXCITED ABOUT HAVING A STRONG TM ON BOARD TO DO SO.

ONE OF OUR MAJOR FOCUSES COMINGN WAS OF COURSE STAFFING.

WITH ANY TYPE OF CAN YOU SAY CUSTODIAL JOB, STAFFING IS A BIG PIECE AND WE HAVE PUT IN A LOT F RESOURCES IN OUR PUSH FOR STAFF, ONE OF THOSE INDEED ATS AND POSITIONS AND WE HAVE DEDICATED REGIONAL RECRUITER THAT ACTIONS WITH STAFFING AND INTERVIEWS AND ALSO A BIG FOCUS AS WE LOOK TO BRING ON BOARD QUALITY TEAM MEMR AND AL RETAINING THOSE TEAM MINS SO MAKING SURE THAT TEAM MEMBERS ARE APPROPRIATELY TRAINED,A MONY SAFETY TRAINING AND HAVING AN EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM WHH OUR GEM PROGRAM.

TEXAS IT'S REALLY ABOUT OUR TEAT THE END OF THE DAY, CUSTODIAL WK IS NOT AN EASY JOB AND WE WANT O MAKE SURE WE RECOGNIZE THEM FORA GREAT JOB AND GIVE THEM THE RESOURCES TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND R US TO CONTINUE TO MEET STANDARD. SO THIS IS JUST A BREAK DOWN OF STAFFING ON A MONTH BY MONTH ASE TOOK OVER THE CONTRACT IN JULY.

AND IN THE MONTH OF JULY WE STAD WITH 94 EMPLOYEES, IN AUGUST WE WENT UP TO 109 AND CURRENTLY WEE AT 106.

THE NUMBER BELOW THAT IS THE TURNOVER SO YOU SEE KIND OF A SE BETWEEN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER ANA LOT OF THAT IS IS DUE TO WITH US COMING ON BOARD AND IMPLEMENTING PRODSES THERE'S SOME ATTRITION E TO INDIVIDUALS NOT MEETING STAND AND JUST TRYING THE GET ON BOARD WITH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, BT THAT STAFFING IS GOING TO CONTIE TO BE AN ONGOING THING, AND WE L NOT TAKE OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS ON

THE STAFFING FRONT. >>> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIS

FOR ANY OF US? >> I HAVE JUST A COUPLE.

BRIDGES ANDBRANDON YOU MENTIONED TEAM, SO AND JANET YOU CAN CLARY TOO, SO WITH YOU HAVING THE CLEANING COMPANY THAT'S DOING OR CUSTODIAL DOES THAT ALSO INCLUDN SOME OF THAT INSPIRATIONAL OR ENCOURAGEMENT STUFF THE EXISTING STAFF THAT'S MAYBE NOT WITH YOUR COMPANY RIGHT NOW? DO THEY GET TO BE PART OF SOME F THAT ENCOURAGEMENT STUFF TOO? OR IS THAT SEPARATE?

I'M JUST WONDERING. >> SO AS FAR AS LIKE THAT RECOGNITION PROGRAM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S -- IT'S AN FSC THING, I KNOW ONE OF OUR BIG THS IS WE DON'T LOOK AT YOURSELF ASA VENDOR OR A CONTRACTOR WE LOOK T OURSELVES AS A PARTNER AND WE WT THE MAKE SURE THAT WE ENGRAIN TT FEEL OF CULTURE AND TEAM ACROSSE BOARD WITH EVERYONE. WE ENCOURAGE OUR TEAMS AND WANTR STAFF TO BE A PART OF EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL AND FEEL A PAT

OF THE TEAM THERE. >> AND I ASSUMED I JUST WANTED O CLARIFY THAT IT REALLY WAS -- IS ALL OF THE STAFF AND THEN JANETU MADE A COMMENT ABOUT A RATING SYSTEM AND WE WANTED TO TRY AND STAY AT AT LEAST A BECOME MINUSR WHATEVER, IS THERE A CHECKLIST T YOU USE OR CAN YOU NAME -- WHATS THAT IS INCLUDED IN THAT CHECKL?

>> IT IS SEVERAL PAGES LONG ANDI CAN GET YOU A SAMPLE IF YOU WANT BUT IT IS A VERY DETAILED BASICY ROOM BY ROOM, THERE ARE EXPECTAN S, THE CLEANING, DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS FOR HALLWAYS, JIM, CAFETERIA, EACH AREA HAS SUSPICS THINGS THAT ARE LOOKED AT IN THS AREA AND MELISSA HALLMAN OR AWEE QUALITY CONTROL PERSON WILL LOOT

[00:30:04]

>>> SO IT'S OVER ALL FOR THE ENE DISTRICT --

>> EACH BUILDING GETS THEIR OWN INSPECTION.

>>> IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN I THINK IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT WE SHARED PROBABLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED SI SHARED IT THROUGH A BOARD UPDATE

BUT I CAN RESHARE IT -- >> A SOFTWARE CALLED CLEAN INTELLIGENT AND IT TURNS OUT FSC WAS USING IT ALREADY SO THERE WS NO DIFFICULT MERGING WITH THE SYSTEM.

>>> I ALSO WANT TO MEND A LITTLE BIT TOO IF YOUR LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS ON THE POWERPOINT WE'RE ONLY SHORT -- I SHOULDN'T SAY OY BUT EIGHT IN ONLY A COUPLE MONTI THINK THAT'S GREAT.

>>> THANK YOU. >>> CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THE HOY

WAGE RANGE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES? >> ABSOLUTELY.

OUR STARTING PAY RATE FOR A GENL POSITION IS $17.10 HOURLY WHICHS IT HAVE DEFINITELY IN THIS INDUY IT'S LEADING I WOULD SAY AS FARS IS THAT GOES, I THINK THE BIGGET THING WITH OUR STAFFING CHALLENE IS 90 PERCENT OF OUR STAFF TRAVS ABOUT 30 TO 40 MINUTES COMING IO WORK, SO THAT'S BEEN PART OF THE CHALLENGE WITH GETTING STAFF IN QUICKLY BECAUSE AS YOU SEE THE NUMBERS AS FAR AS THE TURNOVER E AS WE STILL GO ALONG AND IMPLEMT THINGS THROUGH ATTENDANCE, WE'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT PUSH WITH STAFFING BUT THAT'S OUR PAY RATE AND OUR HEAD CUSTODIAN ROLES ART 20-DOLLARS AN HOUR.

>> IF SOMEBODY IS WATCHING THISW DO THEY GET AHOLD OF YOU TO APP?

>> SO IT'S VERY SIMPLE YOU GO TO THE ACCOMPLISH CAREERS.COM AND UNDER THE HOURLY POSITIONS IF YU TYPE IN FISHERS INDIANA, THE ROE FOR HAMILTON FOR SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS WILL POP UP AND THE --

>> WE HAVE A LINK THAT WE CAN -F WE DON'T HAVE A LINK PERHAPS WEN COLLABORATE TO PUT A LINK TO THR CUSTODIAL SUPPORT SO WE CAN RECT PEOPLE. $17.10 TO $20 AN HOUR IS PRETTY

GOOD MONEY. >>> I DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT -- SO WHEN WE SWITCH INTET EMS AND PRISTINE -- THANK YOU DO YOU KNOW PRETRIAL PERCENTAGIZE E HOW MANY OF THOSE EMPLOYEES WENT

WITH FSC. >> WE'VE LOST A FEW BUT INITIALY PROBABLY 70 TO 75 PERCENT CAME , MOST OF THEM DID.

I'M GUESSING MAYBE BETWEEN 50 AD 60 PERCENT OF EMS CAME OVER.

>>> GREAT AND THEN ONE MORE QUESTION KIND OF A COMMENT.

AND I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS BEFE BUT MY MOM WAS A TEACHER AND SHE TOLD ME ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLEU NEED TO GET TO KNOW WHEN YOU TAK ABOUT YOUR JOB IS THE THE CUSTON SO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT OUR SCHOOLS CAN DO TO MAYBE -- OTHER THAN MAKING SURE THE KIDS DON'T LEAVE MESSES BUT WRITING NOTES, LEAVING NOTES ON THE WHITE BOAR, ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT OUR CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND STUDENTSN

DO TO BE POSITIVE? >> PICK THE PENCILS UP BUT WHENI SEE -- WHEN I INTERACT WITH THE HEAD CUSTODIANS AND THEY RECEIVD NOTES AND SIGNS THAT -- AND THIS LIKE THAT, A COOKIE OR JUST RAN, JUST WE SAW WHAT YOU DID CAN WE APPRECIATE YOU, THAT'S HUGE.

THAT REALLY IS BECAUSE IT IS A D JOB AND THEY'RE EXPECTED TO DO E AND MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. SO ANY NOTICE IS APPRECIATED.

[00:35:14]

>>> IT'S NICE TO BE REMINDED. >>> AND I WON'T NAME ANY NAME.

>>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THANK YU SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >>> NEXT UP WE HAVE ZACH MCKINNY

WITH AN UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATIO. >>> GOOD EVENING, I APPRECIATE E OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU A RUN DN OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN INTEREST.

IGNITED THE PRIVILGE OF WAGING P AND WORKING WITH 330 AWESOME PEE THAT TRANSPORT OUR KIDDOS THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY AND AROUND OBSTACLES LIKE LANDSCAPE TRAILERS AS WE BEAUTIFY OUR YARS AND NEIGHBORHOODS SO IT'S A THAT AFTERNOON LESS JOB BUT THOSE DRIVERS AND OUR ATTENDANTS THAT MAKE THAT JOB HAPPEN I COULDN'TO IT WITHOUT THEM. SO I'LL START BY SAYING THAT ANE HAVE CURRENTLY 335 STAFF MEMBERN OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE LOST A GOOD MAJORITY THROUGH COVID BUT WE WERE ABLE TO ABSORB THOSE ROUTE AND I KNOW THAT'S A HARD SHIFT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND IT'S KEPT US OUT OF THE NEWS INE CANCELING ROUTES.

AND I KNOW OTHER DISTRICT HAVE D THE HARD TAGSING OF TELLING COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT SORRY A S ISN'T COMING FOR YOUR KIDS TODAY AND WE HAVE NOT HAD TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF OUR STAFF.

SO AGAIN EACH DAY WITH AVERAGE D THIS HAS NOT CHANGED ABOUT 26 ON ROUTES A DAY, CURRENTLY OF THOSE IT'S THREE OF THOSE THAT JUST DT HAVE A DRIVER ASSIGNED DUE TO SE LEAVES AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITHIN MY STAFF, THOSE ARE JUST OPEN ROUTE THAT DON'T E A DRIVER AND WE TRY TO KEEP A CONSISTENT SUB ON THAT ROUTE FOR THE KIDS. THE OTHERS ARE JUST YOUR DAILY CALLOFFS THAT WE MANAGE, ALL BEE AND AFTER A BREAK IT'S A LITTLE HIGHER, I GOT TO DRIVE TWO ROUTS ON MONDAY AFTER FALL BREAK BUT E HAD 33 OPEN ROUTES ON THAT MOND. WHAT ELSE? SO WE HAVE 23 OPEN ROUTES, 26 ON AVERAGE, WE EVER EIGHT DRIVES IN THE TRAINING PROCESS AND THAT'S2 HOUR OF TRAINING SO IT'S NOT JUT ME WALKING UP TO WAL-MART AND HANDING OUT AN APPLICATION AND PUTTING YOU IN A BUS AND THERE'S RIGOROUS TRAINING IN ORDER TO SE LY TRANSPORT OUR STUDENTS. A LOT OF OUR TRAINEES WILL GET N THERE AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS AND A LOT OF IT'S MEMORIZE SAYINGS SO YOU KNOW HOO DO THE PRE-TRIP EFFECTIVELY AND THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS A TASK THAT'S CUMBERSOME FOR SOME FOLKS AND WE DON'T ALLOW THEM TO MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THEY'RE 80S PERCET ON THAT PRE-TRIP AND WIDOW A WONDERFUL JOB IN TRAINING OUR STAFF. SO I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING I GT E-MAILS EVERY YEAR AND THERE'S E PARTICULAR APP THAT'S VERY POPUR AND THAT'S A PARENT TRACKING APP THAWIER WANT FOR OUR STUDENTS AD I'M NO OPPOSED TO THAT BUT WE HE OVER 20,000 STUDENTS AND SO TO E THAT WITH 15,000 ROUTE IN OUR SYSTEM, THE DATA HAS TO BE ACCUE IN ORDER FOR THAT TO WORK, CURRENTLY WE'RE WORKING WITH SOE FAMILY AND WE HAVE SEVEN FAMILIS OUT THERE THAT WE'RE DOWN A PILT PROGRAM, SO IT'S IN PROCESS, ITS BEING USED AS JEFF HARRISON CAN ATTEST IT'S NOT ALWAYS ACCURATED THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING A PILOT GROUP. SO HE SENT ME SCREEN SHOTS OF WT HIS BUS WAS SAYING AND IT'S NOTS ACCURATE AS IT SAYS SO THOSE ARE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO OVERCOME. WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR TH SUPPORT TEAM TO GET THAT CORRECD AND THAT GOING INTO THE APP.

SO IT IS IN PROCESS AND I HOPE O HAVE THAT MOVING SOONER THAN LAR BUT I'M NOT GOING TO RELEASE IT THIS WILL THE DATA IS ACCURATE.

SO ON THAT OUR EV BUS IS GOING D IT STARTED ON ROUTE AFTER LABORY AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT ADDITION, IT'S REALLY FUN -- I GOT A VIDEF

[00:40:10]

STAFFING AGAIN WE CONTINUE TO PT BANNERS ON THE WEBSITE, EMILY DS A GREAT JOB OF SENDING THINGS O, I KNOW THERE ARE PRINCIPALS IN E DISTRICT THAT IT'S ON EVERY NEWSLETTER BUT HOSTAGELY FOR UST IS THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE CREAE FOR OUR STAFF AND THE OPPORTUNIS TO COME WORK FOR US IS THE BIGGT SELLING POINT: THEY GO TO CHURCR THE COFFEE SHOP AND THEY'RE TALG ABOUT HOW AWESOME IT IS TO DRIVA SCHOOL BUS AND THAT'S WHAT GETS FOLKS THROUGH THE DOOR SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO CREATE THAT ENVIRONT IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

THAT'S JUST PART OF WHAT WE DO D THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO DOFUL UNFORTUNATELY AND ILY SAY THIS R HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO COVER THOSE FIELD TRIPS. JACKIE DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB OF COMMUNICATING WITH OUR SCHOOL LEADER BUT ALSO TRYING TO ENTICE DRIVES TO PICK UP THOSE TRIPS, O IS THAT DOES COME WITH A HEAVY K OF GETTING DRIVERS TO GIVE UP TR TIME OF AN EVENING AND WE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT MORE ENTICING D WE CONTINUE TO REEVALUATE THAT F WHAT WE CAN DO BUT FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER WE HAD OVER 250 TRIS COME TO OUR MEETING AND 12 DRIVS SHOW UP TO THAT MEETING TO BID R

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW WE CAN ME SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STAFF DEVELOPT WE'LL LOOK AT THE DATA METRICS O TRANSLATE ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE CLEAR CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS SO WE WILL CONTINUO EXPAND THE COLLABORATION THAT WE HAVE INTERNALLY WITHIN THE DISTT AND EVEN WITH OUR CUSTODIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

I KNOW WE HAVE STUDENT WHO HAVEB PLACEMENTS WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

SO WHEN WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SUE THAT WE HAVE THAT INFORM AVAILAE AND THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING WHT WE'RE DONG.

SO WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WHO RECEIVE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES ARE GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS FIRST AND SOE ARE MAKING SURE THAT OUR STUDENT HAVE COLLABORATIVE SUSPECTS AT

[00:55:02]

AND THEN EARLIER THE QUESTION AT OUR CFL CLASS AND WHERE IT'S LOCATED SO NOT EVERY PROGRAM IS LOCATED IN EVERY BUILDING.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE NATIONWIDE R IT SO WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY D AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE WE HE A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES AND PLA.

S SO THERE ARE TWO CFL CLASSROOS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND ONE THAT SERVES STUDENT THIS IS GRAS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT AND I LOOKEDP SOME NUMBER WHEN I WAS BACK THEE AND HARD THAT COMMENT, ABOUT 18 PERCENT OF THE STUDENTS WE SE ARE IDENTIFIED IN A SPECIAL PROM AND JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SPECIAL PROGRAM DOES NOT MEAN THEY'RE IN A PLACE. FOR THE ENTIRE DAY BUT THEY COUD SPEND PORTIONS OF THEIR DAY IN E GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM.

SO THAT'S THE UPDATE AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.

>>> ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> DON'T WORRY SUZANNE I MAKE SE EVERYONE WHO HAS A QUESTION GETT

ANSWERED. >>> ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE MS. LIP I WITH 5TH READN POLICY.

>>> RECEIVE PEREMPTORY TO YOU A FIRST READ WE HAVE FIVE POLICIEN THIS PARTICULAR BUNDLE, I DO WAT TO POINT OUT IN THE BROADCASTINF BOARD MEETING WIDOW MENTION THE DISTRICT BOARDROOM AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BECAUSE S IS THE ONLY ROOM THAT IS SET UPO RECORD AND LIVE-STREAM BOARD MEETINGS.

OUR NEXT POLICY IS -- ON THAT OE DOES THAT MEAN THE POLICY MEETIS

WILL THEN BE THIS IN THIS ROOM? >> NO, JUST OUR MEETINGS.

>> THE BOARD MEETINGS, NOT THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

>> SO THE LIVE STREAM IS ONLY FOR -- WE ALREADY DO ALL BOARD

MEETINGS. >> NO WORK SESSIONS.

>> SO WE ARE NOT DOING ALL OF OR MEETING, IT'S JUST PUBLIC LIVE STREAM FOR THE WORK SESSION MEETINGS AND OUR BOARD MEETINGS.

>> WE'RE DOING LIVE STREAM RECORDING FOR ALL MEETINGS, WHEE

ALL SEVEN MEMBER ARE PRESENT. >>> THE BOARD MEETINGS.

>> CORRECT BUT FIRST STILL A PUBLIC MEETING THAT THE PUBLIC S INVITED TO SO WE'RE NOT ADDING T ONE AT THIS TIME.

>> BECAUSE THAT MEETING USUALLY TAKE PLACE PLACE IN ANOTHER ROOM AND THAT ROOM IS USUALLY OCCUPID WITH ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHER AND

OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING. >>> I WOULD WANT TO POINT OUT THOUGH THE POLICY MEETING ARE TYPICALLY ABOUT AN HOUR AND YESE DISCUSS THE POLICIES THAT ARE COMING UP BUT SOMETIME IT IS HEALTHY CONFERRING TALKING WHEN THEY'RE REVISING.

IS THERE A WAY WE CAN INCLUDE T? >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE FEASIBLE BECAUSE TRADITIONALLY THEY'RE HELD IN OTHER ROOMS, AND THOSE POLICIES STILL COME TO THE FULL BOARD FOR A FIRST AND SECOD READ WHERE THE WHOLE BOARD CAN DISCUSS THEM.

>>> AND IS IT NOT $500 A MEETINO DO THAT?

>> IT IS, SO IT WOULD ADD ADDITN EXPENSE, THIS IS WHY WE HAVEN'T DONE WORK SESSIONS BEFORE BECAUE WE WERE WEIGHING THE COST.

>>> AND I NOW THAT I HAD BROUGHP IN YEARS PAST I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD TWO YEARS BUT WOULD LIKE O HEAR FROM OTHER BOARD MEMBERS IS WHY NOW -- WHAT IS THE REASON OR WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSEF HAVING THE LIVE-STREAM. I THINK MICHELLE YOU WANTED IT

>>> SO PRIOR TO ME BEING ON THE BOARD IT WAS GOING TO -- WE WERE JUST GOING TO DO BOARD MEETINGS WHERE VOTES WERE TRAIN AND THENE VIDEO WAS ONLY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR 28 DAYS AND THAT PASSED 5-2, I BELIEVE MYSELF AND SILVIA SHAPELIER WERE THE TWO TT SAID IT SHOULD STAY UP LONGER AD THEN WE HAD A NEW BOARD,JANET JE

[01:00:05]

>> SO THAT'S STATED THEN SO FOR SOME REASON IF WE HAD TO HAVE TS BOARD MEETING -- I DON'T KNOW TE POWER WENT OUT AND WE HAD TO GOO ANOTHER LOCATION, IT WOULD NOT E LIVE STREAMED?

>> RIGHT IT HAS TO BE FROM THE DISTRICT BOARDROOM BECAUSE THATS THE ONLY PLACE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.

>> AND I KNOW THERE WERE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THAT WERE NOT IN

SUPPORT OF THIS. >> IT WAS MONEY BUT I'VE HEARD O MUCH FEEDBACK FROM DIFFERENT COMMUNITY THE MEMBERS WHO SAID S IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY WD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEEN ESPECIAY OUR WORK SESSIONS AND PARTICULAY WITH THE CHANGE IN SCHOOL START TILE SO PARENTS WITH YOUNGER KIDS -- IF YOU HAD OLDER KIDS YU COULD LEAVE THEM HOME BUT PARENS WITH YOUNGER KIDS CAN'T DO THATO JUST BEING MORE ACCESSIBLE. BUT

>>> PART OF THE DECISION TOO FOE THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE PALATABLE IS OUR EFFORT TO REDUE THE NUMBER OF BOARD MEETINGS A YEAR, SO ONLY HAVING A COUPLE MONTHS WHERE WE HAVE TWO ALLOWSS

MORE AFFORDABLE ILITY. >> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LIKE TS MEETING, WHEN WE'RE REDUCING THE BOARD MEETING.

>> SO WE'RE NOT PAY FOR AS MANY MEETINGS SO THAT HELPS A LITTLE, OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL HAVE TO BE A FUTURE YEARS WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP-

LIKE WEIGHING THE COST BENEFIT. >> I THINK IT'S FBI, AND I KNOW BRAD BOYAR HAS SAID TOO THAT WHN HE'S NOT IN HUGE FAVOR OF IT BUT HELIBUS THE WORK SESSIONS WHEREE CAN TALK AND COMMUNICATE AND I W THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SAS WHAT TIME IN THAT MEETING AND I WISH IT HAVE LIVE STREAMED SO IM GLAD THAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT TO PT THIS IN THERE AND WANT TO HAVE T LIVE STREAMED.

>>> FULL DISCLOSURE OUR WORK SESSIONS WE DON'T VOTE ON ANYTH.

>> CORRECT BUT IT'S STILL OF HEARING AND TALKING OR WHETHER S A COMMITTEE SHARING SOMETHING OR OUR BOARD TALKING OUT PROS AND S OR JUST THOUGHT PROCESSES I THIK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR AND GET THAT --

>>> CAN I REALLY QUICK, MR. HARRISON, WILL YOU HELP ME EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC JUST ANOTR TIME TALK ABOUT WHY WE USE THE SERVICE THAT WE USE FOR OUR LIVE STREAMING AND KIND OF THE PROCES THAT -- WHY WE DON'T HAVE A STUT IN HERE LIVE STREAMING US TO

YOUTUBE. >> COUPLE REASONS WHY WE AVOID YOUTUBE WAS WHEN YOU PUT IT ON YOUTUBE YOU LOSE OWNERSHIP OF THAT VIDEO, THAT YOU'RE GIVING T VIDEO TO YOUTUBE SO TAKING IT DOWN, TO THE REALLY TAKING IT DN AND THE OTHER REASON IS YOUTUBE DOESN'T LIVE CLOSE CAPTION. IT CLOSED CAPTIONS AFTER THE FAT AND IT'S THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO STAY WITH IS ADA INCLINE COMPLIANCE T WE ARE CLOSED CAPTIONING AS THE BROADCAST IS HAPPENING SO SOMEBY IS WATCHING OUR BOARD MEETING RT NOW AND CLOSED CAPTIONING EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE SAYING SO THAT MEMBERS FROM THE PUBLIC WOD BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE LIVE AS S HAPPENING AND NOT WAIT UNTIL AFR THE SYSTEM CATCHES UP AND DOES THAT.

>>> THANK YOU I KNOW YOU -- I KW YOU TOLD US A BUNCH OF TIMES, I JUST WANTED TO FOR CLARIFY, I APPRECIATE YOU.

[01:05:01]

>>> NO PROBLEM. >>> SO MOVING ON TO THE NEXT POY FOR THE FIRST READ WHICH IS UNDR CURRICULUM THIS POLICY IS ACTUAY REQUIRED BY LAW SO UNDER LEGAL ADVISEMENT WE HAVE ADDED SOME LANGUAGE FOR GREATER CLARITY IN THIS PARTICULAR POLICY.

AND THEN OUR NEXT POLICIES FOR CURRICULUM, SPECIAL ITEMS THIS E IS BEING RESCINDED AND THAT REAS BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUBSTANCE WIH THIS ONE, IT REALLY IS MORE OF A HEADING SO THIS ONE IS NOT NEED, AND UNDER CHARTER SCHOOLS WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THIS ONE BE RESCINDS AS WELL. THERE'S NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT HEE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FLY IT'S COMY WITH INDIANA LAW AND THERE IS AW INDIANA CODE FOR CHARTER SCHOOL. AND SO AGAIN THIS IS JUST

THE PURSUIT INSTITUTE. >>> GOOD EVENING AGAIN BOARD.

>> SORRY IT'S THE LAST ONE. >>> THIS EVENING WE COME BEFOREU WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION REGARDIG THE PURSUIT INSTITUTES.

AFTER CAREFULLY EXAMINEING ALL ASPECTS WE FEEL THE OPPORTUNITYS A WIN FOR OUR STUDENTS. THE LENS OF EDUCATION AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS ARE CHANGING AND WHAT BETTER WAY THN TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITYS AND ENGAGEMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS. IN AN EFFORT TO DO DO YOU DILIGE IN ASSISTING YOU IN MAKE THING IMPORTANT DIAGNOSE OUR LEADERSHP THEM HAS PREPARED A BRIEF PRESENTATION OUT LINING OUR

RATIONALE FOR THIS RECOMMENDATI. >>> GOOD EVENING DR. STOKES, BOD SO ONE OF THE RATIONALES FOR OUR REASON TO GO WITH THE NEW PURSUT INSTITUTE IS KEEPING OUR PROGRAS OPEN OR CLOSED.

THIS WILL BE DETERMINED BY STUDT COURSE OFFERINGS AND ENROLLMENTD THIS ALSO GIVES US A FLEXIBILITO SUB OUT WITH A BENEFITS OF A COOPERATIVE VENTURE. ALSO THE GOAL OF MANY AS YOU KNW HAS BEEN TO CREATE A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN H FC SCHOOL THE INSTIE PROVIDES ADMINISTER I EVER OTHER SITE WHILE ALSO ALLOWING US TO E VAN OF OTHER PARTNERSHIP LIKE CONNOR PRAIRIE AND NOBLESVILLE

FAIRGROUNDS FOR EXAMPLE. >> GOOD EVENING.

SO ONE OF THE POINTS ORB POSITIE PIECES TO THIS IS THAT WITH THEX DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SEVN DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOL WE HAVE GA HIGHWAY PATROL COLLABORATION OF DIFFERENT TEACHERS THAT CAN HAVE MORE MEANFUL TYPE OF PROFESSIONL DEVELOPMENT SO WE FELT THAT TO E BENEFICIAL. A COUPLE OTHER POINTS IS THAT TE PURSUIT INSTITUTE DOES HAVE BETR POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE CT EX-STUDS AND THE BEST EXAMPLE I WITH GIVE YOU IS IF WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT WOULD NEED A SURGEON PROGRAM BUE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY HIG A TEACHER FOR THAT POSITION WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THOSE TWO GROUPS TO HIRE A TEACHER FOR THT SO IT'S GOING TO GROW THAT

[01:20:01]

>> AND THERE ARE 16 NEW ADDITIOL PROGRAM OPTIONS SO THAT WILL EXD

THAT. >> UNDERSAY 16?

>> INCLUDING THE TEACHING PROGR, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE NEW

ONES. >> YES.

>>> SO THEN THIS ONE HERE IS THE FINANCIAL BENEFIT IN THEORY ANDN SPIRIT THE SAVINGS THAT WE'RE GG TO SEE IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE BACK TO OUR OWN PROGRAMMING ANDE ABLE TO GROW THE PIECES THAT WE WANT TO HAVE LOCALLY, HAVING OUR OWN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL PEEL AND T IT'S BEEN IMPORTANT TO ME THAT E REALLY GOOD ACCESSIBILITY FOR TE PROGRAMS, SO THROUGH LOTS OF MEETINGS, COMPLEMENTS OF DR. EXTENSION, SHE GOT US ALL TOGETHER AND WE HAD A GOOD MEET, IT'S AN HOUR AND A HALF WITH MS. LIVELY AND HER TEAM AND A LT OF CLARIFICATION CAME FROM THATD IT'S ALL ABOUT STUDENT

ACCESSIBILITY. >>> PERSONALLY FOR ME I GO BACKO 2015 WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THS COLLEGE AND CAREER ACADEMIES AND WHEN DR. KEGLY AND I WERE ENVISIONING THAT DEVELOPING CURRICULUM, THE CAREER PIECE OF THAT WAS SO MERCHANT AND ONE OFE THINGS WE DID WAS WE BROUGHT OKL PROGRAMS IN HOUSE, WELDING AT H, CNA, MUSIC AND SOUND PRODUCTIOND WHEN WE MADE THAT MOVE WE TRIPLD THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO WERE TAKING VOCATION THAT WILL PROGRS SO WHEN WENT STARTED LOOKING AT THIS MODEL IT'S IMPORTANT THE PI SERVE THOSE AND THE TWO KEY COMPONENTS OF THAT WERE STAFFING AND RESOURCES, ONE OF THE THINGS AND BRANDON SAYS WE HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING OVER FALL BR, ALLOWED US TO INTO THE COMPLEXIS OF THAT AND I FEEL VERY GOOD ABT THOSE TWO THINGS, STAFFING AND PROCURE. TALKING THROUGH WHAT WERE OUR OPTIONS FOR STAFFING AND I WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE OPTIONS WE HAD AND AL WITH PROCURE. NOT ONLY GOING THROUGH OUR PROCS BUT PURSUIT INSTITUTE GAVE US AINSURANCES THAT TO HELP US IF THERE WERE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES E WOULD GET THOSE IN-HOUSE PROGRAM GOING, SO WE SEE THOSE AS ADVANTAGES AS WELL.

>>> I WANTED TO JUST SHARE BRIEY INFORMATION THAT IS -- YOU ARE L IN THE SESSION THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY AND ABBY WAS IN THE LT SESSION THAT WE HAD AND ABBY AND I -- OR I TOBACCO TOOK SCREEN HT SHOTS BUT FOR 23/24 THERE ARE BASICALLY CATEGORYS WITH PROGRAMMING. FOR EXAMPLE AGRICULTURE, FOOD AD THAT YOU RECALL RESOURCES AND IL GIVE SOME EXAMPLES, AG SCIENCE PATHWAY, HOTTER CULTURE, LANDSCAPING OR NATURAL RESOURCES THOSE ARE SOME PATH WAYS UNDER E AGRICULTURAL NATURAL FOOD RESOUE AND THERE'S COMMOTIONS AND TALKG ABOUT.

THEN THERE IS A PATHWAY HEALTH SCIENCES WHICH HAS THE CERTIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTING, THE DEGENERAE CAREERS, PHARMACY AND THEN YOU E THE HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM WHIH HAS THE CULINARY ARTS PATHWAY, THERE IS THE INFORMATION TECHNOY WHICH HAS THE CYBER SECURITY PATHWAY AND THERE IS THE TRANSPORTATION DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS WHICH IS THE AUTOMOTIE SERVICES AND THE DIESEL SERVICES PATHWAY. SOME OF THOSE NAMES MAY SOUND DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ALIGNED WITH THE STATE'S PATH WY CATEGORYS SO THOSE ARE SOME CAMS OF SOME OF THE PATHWAYS THAT WE

[01:25:01]

SHARE. >>> YES AND THOSE WITH THE NEXT PROGRAM OF STUDY WHICH IS OUR NT LAYER SO THOSE TITLES MATCH THAT

LANGUAGE. >>> ANY QUESTIONS?

OR I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> I ACTUALLY -- I DO WANT TO ME A STATEMENT AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT ADDED TO THE MINUTES, PLEASE. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER II

READ IT. >>> THAT'S FINE, GO AHEAD.

>>> SO I WILL SAY THIS FIRST BEE I READ THIS IS I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND HAVING THE THRE OF YOU UP HERE GIVE YOUR FEEDBAK AND INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY YOUO MICHELLE ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS AND INFORMATION THAT YOU GUYS AE ABLE TO COLLECT AND HAVE FOR YOURSELVES OVER THIS FALL BREAK. AND ILL READS MY STATEMENT.

AS ABORTED MEMBER I DID PUSH FOR THE DELAY TO THIS VOTE BUT I WAD TO MAKE IT CLEAR UNEQUIVOCALLY T I AM A SUPPORTER OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION. I COMMENT OUR COUNTY, H FC STUDS DESERVE A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITS FOR PURSUE THEIR PATH AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. I HAVE RECEIVED CRITICISM FROM R BOARD MEMBERS FOR THIS TWO WEEK DELAY IN THE VOTING FOR THE PURSUITS INSTITUTE. MY CONCERNS WERE THIS MAJOR DECISION WERE BEING RUSHED BY TS ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE ILLERRED THAT ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF HAS STRONG RESERVATIONS.

WE ARE THE LAST DISTRICT TO CONSIDER JOIN THE PURSUIT INSTIE AND I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THIS WAS THE FIRST THAT WE RECEIVED INFORMATION WAS ON AUGUST 16 OF THIS YEAR.

IT IS MINE THAT THE TEACHERS UNN ALSO ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE INFORMATION IN AUGUST. AS A BOARD OF TRUSTEE OUR BOARDS POLICY BECOME 02.07 REQUIRES THI WILL CONSIDER ALL STUDENTS WHETR IT'S THREE HUB OR 20,000 THAT I WILL BE WELL INFORMED BEFORE MAG ANY DECISIONS. THIS IS OUR JOB AND OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. THE DECISION TO LEAVE A DECADE G RELATIONSHIP WITH JEL TO JOIN A STARTUP LIKE THE PURSUIT INSTITE WEIGHED ON MY HEARTS BECAUSE I T IT WAS A MAJOR DECISION FOR H FC SCHOOLS AND WHILE I VOICE CONCES IT WAS DISHEARTENING TO ME THATI FELT 75 PERCENT OF THE THIS MORG I NEEDED I LOCATED MYSELF.

AS A BOARD MEMBER I . . . THERE HAS BEEN EC HFC FEASIBILIY STUDY AND A QUICK REVIEW ON BOAD DOCKS SHOWS IT IS CUSTOMARY FORA DECISION LIKE THAT AND I AM UNAE IF THE BOARDS WAS AWARE OF THATT I DID HEAR THERE'S A FIVE YEAR PURSUIT INSTITUTE PLAN AND I AL FOUND ON THE ON MONDAY AFTER ASG FOR A PHOEBES FEW WEEKS ABOUT A COURSE CATEGORY BUT I'M NOT AWAE IF THE BOARD SAW OR KNEW OF THIS INFORMATION. ON MONDAY I AL FOUND OUT OUR PURSUITS INSTITUTE IS SET UP AND QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE FULL PERKIS FUNDING THOUGH THERE IS NOT A DIRECTOR AND THERE'S AN AM MEDIL REPORT AND THERE IS A NEW LIE HD C TEA CERTIFYIED ASSISTANT DIRECTOR. IT'S OUR DUTY FOR OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT DATA HAS BEEN

[01:30:04]

THE TEACHERS INPUT MATTERS AND Y SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF S MAJOR CHANGE SIX MONTHS AGO. I GIVE CREDIT TO DR. STOKE WHO UNFORTUNATELY FELT WE HAD ALREAY BEEN ALERTED OF THIS PROPOSAL AD WORKED DILIGENTLY TO GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED I. I DO CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING TRANSPORTATION AND TEACHERS AND STUDENTS SCHEDULES BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
