AND IS THEIR COACHES PAUL KENNEDY IS HERE AND SIEVE ASKED THEM TO PICK SOME RIFF RIVERS TO COME UP AND TALK AND I KNOW FISH ERS HAS AN EVENT THEY HAVE TO GET TO RIGHT AFTER THIS, SO TIME .SO WE'LL START WITH INTRODUCTION.

I'M A SENIOR AT FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL.

>> I'M KENNEDY ALSO A SENIOR HERE AT FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL.

>> I'M A SOPHOMORE AT HFC HIGH SCHOOL.

>> AND I'M ALSO CURRENTLY A SOPHOMORED A HAMILTON

SOUTHEASTERN. >> ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU WANT DO ASK QUESTIONS OR --

>> I'M GOING TO CHIME IN. WHY DEPUTY YOU TELL US ABOUT WHAT PROGRAMS YOU'RE IN. WE KNOW YOU'RE FROM THE SPEECH TEAM BUT KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOUR SEASON RUNS

AND WHO YOU ARE. >> JUST WANT TO GO DOWN THE LINE SO I'M KENNEDY AND I DO BOTH SPEECH AND DEBATE AT OUR FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. WE'RE BASICALLY MOCK AND ROLE ROLE PLAY AS CONGRESSIONAL RIFFS SO WE USE PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE AND ALSO THE CONTENT, WE DEBATE MOCK LEGISLATION STRUCTURED THE SAME WAY AS CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION.

AS FOR THE SPEECH SIDE OF THINGS I'VE DONE A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS BUT WE GIVE IMPROMPTU SPEECHES RESOLVING U.S. POLITICS AND I DO AN EVENT CALLED IMPROMPTU SPEAKING WHERE WE HAVE TWO MINUTES TO WRITE, MEMORIZE AND COME UP WITH A FIVE MINUTE SPEECH THAT'S EITHER A QUOTE, QUESTION OR A THING SO IT'S ON YOUR FEET THINKING AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

>> SO I DO ILL PROM IMPROMPTU AS WELL AND THEN ON THE DEA DEBATE SIDE IT'S CURRENT EVENTS SO IT CAN BE CRYPTO CRYPTO-CURRENCY, SO LEAVING YOU WITH WHAT I THINK WOULD BE MOST IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS WE HAVE A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS ON THE TEAM BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. THE THING THAT UPLIFTS US IS THE WAY WE'RE ABLE TO COACH EACH OTHER AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, REALLY MORE FROM A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU IMPACT AND THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE BEHIND WHETHER THAT'S

A SPEECH CAREER OR DOWN THE LINE >> SO I DID THE SAME TWO EVENTS SO I DO CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE AND ON THE SPEECH SIDE I DO U.S.

EBBING TELL ME PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAINS YOU SPEAKING AND ONE OF THE MIDWEST MOST IMPORTANT THING AS A TEAM IS I GUESS THE TEAM ITSELF, NO MATTER WHAT COMPETITION WE GO TO IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT TEAM BEING A STEAM AND WE BOND OVER THE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE TOGETHER AND MORE THAN ALL THE DEBATING IT'S ABOUT THE

[00:05:03]

>> I MAINLY DO SPEECH EVENTS AND IN MANY WAYS IT'S LIKE THE SO CAT CATTIC SEMINAR WHERE YOU ARE GIVEN MANY TOPICS AND IN A GROUP SETTING YOU HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS AND BRING UP RELEVANT POINTS SO I THINK IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT BECAUSE YOU'RE COLLABORATING BUT AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO SHINE IN THE EVALUATE, AND I RECENTLY STARTED INFORMATIVE SPEAKING IN WHICH YOU CHOOSES A TOPIC THAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, WRITE, MEMORIZE AND PRESENT A TEN MINUTE SPEECH USING VISUAL AILED S AND YOU WANT TO INFORM AND ALSO GET A POINT ACROSS. AND I THINK THAT MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS TEAM IS THAT WE SEE SO MUCH GROWTHS.

WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY MEMBERS COME INTO THE SEASON UNSURE OF THEMSELVES AND OFTEN JUST THERE BECAUSE THEIR FRIEND ARE THERE TO SEE HOW IT GOES AND THEY LEAVE THE SEASON IN LOVE WITH

THEIR TEAM AND THEIR EVENT. >> SO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. WHAT ARE YOUR INTERESTS AND WHAT DO YOU FORESEE THIS SKILL SET TAKING YOU?

>> I'M CURRENTLY INTERESTED IN SOME CAREER PATH IN MEDICINE, WHETHER THAT IS AS A PRACTICING PHYSICIAN OR MAYBE IN THE RESEARCH FIELD. AND I THINK MANY PEOPLE DON'T OFTEN THINK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SAY DEBATING OR PRESENTATIONS IN MEDICINE, THEY THINK LAWYER BUT I HAVE SEEN IS THAT IN THAT PRACTICE, YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE NOT ONLY WITH YOUR PATIENTS BUT WITH STAFF, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DELEGATE CAN YOU HAVE TO BE AGE TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS THAT SETTLE

SETTING. >> I ALSO WANT TO GO INTO MEDICINE BUT I FEEL LIKE THE SKILLS THAT TRANSFER OVER FROM SPEECH AND DEBATE APPLY TO ALMOST ANY CAREER FIELD BECAUSE YOU LEARN HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE, YOU'RE CONFIDENT AND IT HELPS YOU IN ANY CAREER FIELD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND INTERACT WITH THEM AND SPEECH AND DEBATE IS A GOOD WAY TO

BUILD THAT SKILL. >> I'LL AND GOING INTO HAD BEEN MANAGEMENT AND POLICY AND I THINK MORE THAN ANYONE YOU KNOW THE IMPACT THAT YOUR INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS MAKE, HOW MUCH MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION AND ALSO POLICY CAN AFFECT NOT ONLY A WHOLE GROUP'S LIVES BUT INDIVIDUAL LIVES SO GOING INTO HEALTH CARE AND MANAGEMENT AND POLYFROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A PHYSICIAN CAN GIVER ME A WAY TO CHANGE LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE IN

THE FUTURE. >> SO I GUESS I AM A STEREOTYPICAL CAREER PIPELINE BECAUSE I DO WANT TO BE A LAWYER ONE DAY BUT WHAT MADE ME WANT TO BE THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I LEARNED FROM PARTICIPATION ON SPEECH AND DEBATE CAN THAT'S THAT CONTEXTUALIZING THE ISSUES IS JUST IMPORTANT AS TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS BECAUSE BEFORE TALKING ABOUT A SOLUTION YOU NEED TO KNOW WHICH PROBLEMS TALK ABOUT PRIORITY AND WHY THAT PROBLEM WARRANTS A SOLUTION, SO THE DIED COMY BETWEEN THE CONTEXT AND THE SOLUTIONS MADE ME WANT TO MAJOR IN PHILOSOPHY BEFORE I MAJOR IN LAW SCHOOLS.

AND THEN I ALSO KNOW THE REAL WORLD APPLICATION THROUGH POLITICAL SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE, SO REALLY HELPED GUIDE MY MINDER

SET. >> SO GOING TO MANGE A COMMENT, YOU SPOKE IN FRONT OF THE DISTRICT TWO YEARS AGO, PHENOMENAL JOB, BUT TO ALL OF YOU WHAT I REALLY LIKE HEARING IS THE COMMENCEMENTS YOU MAKE ABOUT THE CAMARADERIE AND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE LEARNING CAN GROW ING IT'S THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU'RE MAKING AND LEADING OVERS THAT ARE GROWING INTO THE PROGRAM. BUT KNOWLEDGE ARE YOU NODDING BUT THESE GUYS ARE NODDING TOO. THE PEOPLE HERE ARE ALL NODDING SO I MEND YOU AND THE TEAMS AND THE PROGRAM FOR BEING SO STRONG AND COMING TOGETHER. SO I REALLY ADMIRE THAT SO THANK

YOU. >> SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

I FEEL LIKE I SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH YOU GUYS AND YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL AND ONE THING I'M ALWAYS SAYING IS MAKE SURE WHY EXUDE THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVEN'T WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS PROBABLY THE MOST CHALLENGING THINGS FOR YOU AS YOU GO OUT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE TO DELIVER?

LIKE WHAT IS CHALLENGING FOR YOU >> FOR ME I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE NERVOUS

[00:10:01]

HUNDRED TIMES MORE IMPORTANT. >> WHEN I JOINED SPEECH AND DEBATE I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE TALKING TO PEOPLE OR SPEAKING IN -- JUST GETTING UP AND GIV ING A THREE MINUTE SPEECH, IT WASN'T MY THINGS SO AS I GOT INTO SPEECH AND DEBATE AS MY -- I GOT INTO ANY FIRST RESPONDERS COMPETITIONS I DIDN'T WANT TO GET UP AND GO GIVE A SPEECH BUT SLOWLY I HAD TO OVERCOME THAT CHALLENGE, AND NOW I FIND THAT I ACTUALLY LOVE TALKING TO PEOPLE AND I LOVE GETTING UP AND SPEAK ING FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S JUST A GOOD FEELING. SO I SPEECH AND DEBATE HAS

REALLY IN SPIRED THAT INTO ME. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH ALL THOSE SENTIMENTS AS SOMEONE WHO'S ON LEADERSHIP FOR THE FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH TEAM MY PERSPECTIVE IS KIND OF THE ADVISING CAN IN THE PART OF IT. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE ADVISERS AND ADMINISTRATION HAVE SUCH BIG PART IN ALLOWING US -- COMING EVERY WEEKEND FOR FOUR MONTHS TO EVERY SPEECH MEET BUT I ALSO KNOW FROM OTHER CLUBS IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THAT ADVISING BECAUSE IT IS A TIME COMMITMENT SO WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR OUR TEACH ERS TO TAKE THE TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT A COMMITMENT ON OUR PART IT'S A BIG COMMITMENT ON THEIR PART AS WELL AND IT'S A DIFFICULT ROAD

BEAU BOTH WAY. >> SO MINE GOES BACK TO MY FRESH MAN YEAR, SIMILAR TO REAL LIFE CONGRESS THERE'S THIS SAME AMOUNT OF CLICK CAN INESS, POLITICKING AND NETWORKING AND THAT WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T NECESSARILY EXPECT SO LEARNING HOW TO COMMUTE THAT CONFIDENCE NOT ONLY WITHIN YOU'RE UP GIVING A SPEECH BUT WHEN YOUR SETBACK ING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, ORB EVEN WHEN YOUR LOST TRYING TO FIND YOUR ROOM BEING ABLE TO KEEP A CALM AND PUT TOGETHER DEMEANOR AND A NICE BRAVADO IS KNOWLEDGE GOING TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL SO MUCH BETTER BUT ALSO HELP YOU BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE TO HELP YOU IN AND OUT OF ROUND, SO ALSO HELPING THE REST OF THE TEAM LEARN THAT AS I GREW OLDER WAS ONE OF THE BIGGER CHALLENGES BUT I THINK WE

DID A GOOD JOB. >> SO I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF JUDGING WHENEVER IT WAS, BEN AND I DID THAT AND I HAVE TO SAY I SIGNED UP BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING TO DO AND SATURDAY MORNING I WOKE UP AND I WAS LIKE, -- SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M DOINGMENT AND I JUST SHOW UP AND I'M SITTING THERE AND I'M LIKE, WHAT DO I DO? AND IT WAS U.S. -- WHATEVER AND I'M SITTING THERE AND I'M BLOWN AWAY.

LIKE IT WAS AMAZING AND I WAS STRESSES FOR THEM BECAUSE THE TOPIC ARE LIKE, -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS BUT A LOT OF DIFFICULT TOPICS, SO THEN I'M DONE CAN THEN THEY PUT ME IN THIS DISCUSSION, AND YOU WERE THERE, HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS THERE AND I HAD A -- I WAS SO DISTRESSED BECAUSE EVERYBODY WAS AMAZING AND I'M A JUDGE AND I'VE NEVER DONE THIS.

AND AFTER WE WERE DONE THE JUDGE IS LIKE WE CAN'T TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS, YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

I FIGURED OUT IT WAS REALLY DEFINITELY BECAUSE THEY WERE RIGHT BEFORE THE FINALS I THINK SO THEY WERE ALL AMAZING.

BUT ALL THAT SAID TO SAY I LOVED ID AND I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY BOYS AND THEIR FRIENDS THEY NEED TO JOIN SPEECH AND I CAN'T WAIT TO ROUNDS UP A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT JUDGE JUDGES AND COME S AND DISCUSSION -- I'M SORRY THAT IS STRESSFUL AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW A LOT.

SO ANYHOW I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING.

>> ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD AS MUCH AS WE FACE CHALLENGES AS STUDENTS OUR COACHES, I WANT TO THANK THEM, MR. KEPT DID I AND MR. FIELDS FROM HFC, THEY FACE A TON OF CHALLENGES WHEN I WOULD

[00:15:03]

>>

>> SO I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, SO A LOT OF TIMES KIDS COME INTO THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TALK ABOUT IS TAKING SPEECH SO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT IT IS SOMETHING THEY WANT TO TRY TO DO OR MORE OF A TOPIC IN JUNIOR SENIOR YEAR?

>> I CAN START ON THIS ONE. HERE AT FISHERS WE TRY TO MAYBE THE ENTRY LEVEL ANY SKILL LEVEL SO SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE EVERY SUMMER IN LATE JULY WE HOLD A SUMMER CAMP FOR EITHER RETURNING MEMBERS OR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE WHAT SPEECH CAN DEBATE IS ABOUT SO IT'S ABOUT A SIX HOUR SUMMER CAMPERS WE HAVE SOL TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE INTIMIDATING TO WANT THE GET BETTER AT SOMETHING SO THAT'S WHY WE RECOMMEND ALL PEOPLE TO JOIN.

>> I WOULD SAID IT WOULD BE MAYBE SOPHOMORE OR JUNIOR YEAR BUT IT SHOULD BE A REQUIRED CLASS.

WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE GROWTH THAT OCCURS EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCE THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM TO GROW AND GETTING THAT EXTRA SUPPORT FROM CLASSES CAN HAVING TO DO I WOULD EVERY DAY IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND IF YOUR ABLE TO TALK YOURSELF OUT OF ANYTHING IN LIFE YOU'RE ABLE

TO GO PRETTY FAR. >> MY OPINION I THINK SPEECH AND DEBATE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN GET INTO ANY YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL IF YOU -- IT'S JUST ABOUT GOING TO A MEETING AND EXPLORING THE DIFFERENT EVENTS AND SEE WHAT YOU LIKE, SEE WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE AND IF YOU REALIZE SPEECH AND DEBATE ISN'T MY THING YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY I GUARANTEE THAT ANYONE WHO JOINS WILL HAVE AN AMAZING TIME.

>> I ABSOLUTELY AGREE AND I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE THAT FRESHMAN YEAR IS THE YEAR YOU JOIN OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE AS IT'S BEEN POINTED ON THE BY EVERYONE.

IT ISN'T JUST ABOUT LEARNING THE SKILLS IT IS ABOUT COMMUNITY AND I KNOW THAT I PERSONALLY JOINED FRESHMAN YEAR AND THIS YEAR I HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING BASS OF SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS ALL OF WHOM ARE FROM SPEECH AND DEBATE. I HAVE FRIENDS FROM JUNIOR YEAR, I HAVE FRESHMAN FRIENDS AND THEY HAVE MADE THIS WHOLE PROCESS SO MUCH EASIER FOR ME SO I WOULD SAY THE SUBER THE BETTER.

>> YOU WANTED TO COMPLEMENT YOU ALL AS WELL.

LIKE DR. AL BRIGHT SAID I GOT THE PRIVILEGE TO BE ONE OF THE THE JUDGES AND WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY.

I WAS ON THE SPEECH TEAM IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT IT HAD BEEN MANY YEARS -- THANK YOUS. BUT THE WHEN WE COME IN HERE AND I THINK ALL OF US UP HERE AND SO MANY IN THE COMMUNITY ARE LOOKING TO OUR STUDENTS WE WANT YOU PREPARED AND GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND BE THE KNOX GENERATION OF LEADERS AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE TONIGHT, THIS IS IT. SO YOU'VE DONE ABSOLUTELY FBI.

FOR ANYBODY THAT THINKS ABOUT IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPEAKING IN PUBLIC ALL THE MORE REASON TO TRY IT.

IT'S BY FAR THE BIGGEST THING THAT'S HELPED ME IN MY CAREER, I STARTED IN CONSTRUCTION AND I GOT INTO SALES AND NOW I DO INSURANCE. THE IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT CAN BE ANYTHIING IF YOU CAN STAND UP AND CONFIDENTIALITYILY DELIVER YOUR MESSAGE YOU'RE GOING TO GO FAR IN WHATEVER YOU WANT.

SO AGAIN GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU TO YOUR COACHES.

FANTASTIC WORK, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THE PROGRAM IS GROWING SO YOU'RE GETTING MORE PEOPLE EVERY YEAR.

AS DR. ALBRIGHT SAID I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JUNG JUDGING AGAIN.

>> I THINK MY COACH WOULD GIVE ME A STERN TALKING TO IF I DIDN'T PLUG JUDGING. FOR FISHERS GO TO FISHERS SPEECH .COM AND THERE'S A TAB ABOUT JUDGING INFO, NO PAST

[00:20:03]

>> SAME GOES FOR HFC. >> IF YOU'RE LISTENING IT HAD BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAD DONE IT AND THEY TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU COME IN. YOU'RE A LITTLE NERVOUS BUT THEN IT GOES SMOOTHLY YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY JUST WHO IS THE BEST CYBER. I JUST DID A MORNING SESSION, DR. ALBRIGHT DID THE THE AFTERNOON SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TOO TAKE YOUR WHOLE DAY BUT ANYBODY WHO COMES OUT AND JUDGES, YOU'LL BE IMPRESSED AND YOU'LL SEE HOW VALUABLE YOUR TEACHERS AND COACH

ES ARE, SO COME HELP OUT. >> ONE MORE THING I WANT TO ADD IS THAT AT EVERY -- ALMOST EVERY COMPETITION THERE'S A SHORTAGE OF JUDGES AND SOMETIMES DEPEND ING ON THE NUMBER OF ENTR IES PER EVENT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE CUT SO ONE MORE JUDGE MEANS CERTAINLY MORE ENTRIES FOR US AND THAT MEANS IS THAT WE WON'T HAVE TO DENY ANY OF OUR HIGH-SCHOOLERS FROM COMPETING.

>> I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUDGE AS WELL AND SEEING YOU WORK AS A TEAM WAS AMAZING TO SEE SO YO CAN PUT ME ON THE LIST

FOR NOVEMBER. >> I WANT TO ADD AS SOMEONE WHO SPENT A DECADE OF MY CAREER TESTIFYING BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY I AM IMPRESSED AT THE COMPOSURE YOU HAVE.

TO HAVE THAT COMPOSURE IS IM PRESSIVE AND LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT, COURAGE, EVEN IN MY 30S IT WAS NOT EASY TO GET UP IN FRONT OF A ROOM FULL OF PEEL PEOPLE TO DO THAT IS NOT EASY AND I KNOW THAT NOT EVERYONE COULD BE HERE TO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE RECOGNIZE ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAMS THAT WEREN'T ABLE TO BE HERE AS CONTRIBUTING TO THE TEAMS THIS YEAR. SO CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU.

[00:25:07]

[5. Information Items]

SCHOOL SAFETY UPDATE. >> MR. MIKE JOHNSON IS GOING TO

GIVE US A BRIEF UPDATE. >> I WASN'T AWARE BEFORE THIS ABOUT SPEAKING AFTER THE SPEECH TEAM.

DR. STOKES, THANK YOU, BOARD THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.

JUST WANT THE COVER SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE USE AS A RELATES TO SCHOOL SAFETY FROM A GENERAL OVERVIEW AND OTHER QUESTIONS AND CERTAINLY THINGS THAT WERE DONE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WOULD WARRANT THIS DISCUSSION. THE INFORMATION I'M GOING TO SHARE COVERS OUR SAFETY APPLICATIONS AND SOME OF THE THE THINGS WE DO, SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE TRACK, DATA POINT S CAN OTHER ITEMSES. THE ITEMS I'M GOING TO PULL FROM TONIGHT ARE LISTED ON THE SCREEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROGRAM THAT TRACKS THE SCHOOL SIDE OF SRO ACTIVITY.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR SAFETY LEVELS AND I'LL CONCLUDE WITH SOME COMMENCEMENTS ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. FIRST OF ALL AS WE MOVE ABOUT THE DISTRICT I'VE GO SOME COMPONENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION THAT I PUT ON THE SCREEN THAT MIRROR WHAT I DO AS A SCHOOL SAFETY PRACTICE. THE FOLKS I WORK WITH PROBABLY MOST FREQUENTLY ARE MENTAL HEALTH THE FOLKS, OUR COUNCILORS , EXCEPTIONAL LEARNER AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST S WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH.

A LOT OF FOCUS IS OUR NEW THREAT ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

THOSE PHONES ARE FOLKS ARE A BIG MEETINGS OF THAT EXEMPT.

OUR FACILITYIES DEPARTMENT. THEY CRINGE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF ITEMS ON THE AGENDA AND USUALLY WHEN I WALK IN THERE'S A PROJECT THAT I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

HE FELT SERVICES AS REPRESENTED TO HEALTH OF OUR ASSUME STUDENTS

[00:30:02]

I WILL MENTION ALSO THAT AS WE THINK ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO HAVE THE OPINION THAT SOMEHOW I'M THE SOLE PERSON IN CHARGE OF SCHOOL SAFETY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL ARE PART OF.

A LOT OF TIMES IN TRAININGS WITH TEACHERS I'LL ASK THEM WHO'S IN CHARGE OF SCHOOL SAFETY AND THE ANSWER I GET IS THEY'LL POINT TO ME AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE, WE ALL HAVE A RULE THE PLAY T.

EVERY EMPLOYEE OF THIS DISTRICT DOES SOMETHING THAT TOUCHES ON SCHOOL SAFETY AND IT TAKES ALL OF US TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS REALM. FIRSTIVELY TALK ABOUT OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AND WE HAVE EIGHT THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO OUR BUILDINGS. THIS YEAR THE DATA THAT I'M PULL ING RELATES TO HOW THEY TRACK THEIR ACTIONS.

568 ENTRIES OF SOME VARIETY OF SERVICE THIS SCHOOL YEAR,YOU'LL IN THE NOTICE ON THE CHART THE TWO AREAS OF MOST CAN'T ARE SECURITY CHECKS AND WORKING WITH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IN SOL CAPACITY OR ANOTHER ALLOW THE THINGS THAT WE DO, OUR PROBLEM SOLVING AND HE BEENING THE BUILDINGS MANAGE THEIR SCHOOL SAFETY APPROACHES. THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS ARE NOT PART OF SCHOOL DISCIPLINE, WE DON'T ENGAGE OUR OFFICERS IN DISCIPLINE UNLESS THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FINISH THEM TO BE A MENTOR OR ROLE MODEL BUT WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGED THEY ATTEMPTS TO BE AS MUCH AS A SERVICE AS POSSIBLE IN THAT REALM.

SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT ARE OF FOCUS IS BEING THAT ARM OF SCHOOL SAFETY IN THE BUILDINGS OR AS ME MYSELF OR OTHERRED A ADMINISTRATORS COMPLAINT COMPLAINT BE -- WE ARE WORKING AND MR. LAKE MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE TO COME UP WITH KOREAIVE CREATIVE WAYS TO EXPAND OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE PROFILE, SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME STAFFING SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE CREATIVE TO EXPAND THIS IN A WAY THAT'S RESPONSIBLE NEXT WE WILL TALK ABOUT OUR SAFETY VISITOR PROGRAM.

I PULLED SOME NUMBERS HERE AND WE HAVE SCREENED 50,000 PEOPLE AS EITHER EMPLOYEES, VISITORS OR VOLUNTEERS.

16,000 OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL ACTIVE IN OUR SYSTEM.

WE HAVED A 353 PEOPLE DENIED ACCESS IN SOME VARIETY OR A, THEY FAILED THE BACKGROUND CHECK OR THEY'RE A CONVICTED FELON.

WE HAVE HAD 33,000 PEOPLE EXPIRE OF THE PROGRAM AND WE HAVE 24/7 FOLKS PENDING IN SOME LEVEL OF BEING APPROVED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO INTERACT WITH A OUR STUDENTS.

NEXT IS SECURITY, THE SECURITY IS A SYSTEM THAT WE UTILIZE TO MONITOR OUR DEVICES THAT STUDENT S TAKE HOME WITH THEM.

SOME THINGS EC TO NOTE ABOUT THIS, IF A STUDENT USES THEIR DEVICE TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SENIOR CONSIDERED DED A DANGER TO THE STUDENT WE WILL GET AN ALERT.

WE HAVE A VENDOR THAT SCREENS THESE THANKS AND THEY'LL LET US KNOW IF A STUDENT -- FOR EXAMPLE YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN THE STUDENT SUSPECT ON HOW TO KILL MYSELF.

IF THEY CORRECT THEMSELVES TO SAY HOW DO I KILL MYSELF ON FORTNIGHT WE WOWEDN'T BE NOTIF IED OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

HOWEVER IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE HARDER TO PIN DOWN WE'LL RECEIVE AN ALERT AND BASED ON HOW IT'S CATEGORY ICED WE'LL DETERMINE IF WE NEED TO CHECK IN WITH THAT STUDENT TOMORROW OR PERHAPS RIGHT NOW. OCCASIONALLY WE'LL GET ONE THAT IS IMMINENT. WE HAVE HAD SIX THIS YEAR WHERE THE COMPANY ACTUALITY CONTACTED OUR DISPATCH CENTER AND THAT'S HAPPENED SIX TIMES THIS SCHOOL YEAR AND OVER ALL WE'VE HAS 157

[00:35:06]

YEAR TO DATE WE'VE BEEN USING THIS NEW SYSTEM FOR ABOUT A AREA 400 CIRCUMSTANCES NINE ANONYMOUS TIPS HAVE COME IN.

I TRY TO MAKE SURE I COMMUNICATE WITH THE BUILDINGS ON THIS TO NEUROTHAT ALL OF THE TIPS THAT HAVE COME IN WE HAVE PHYSICALLY TOUCHED ALL OF THEM. WE HAVE SIX PENDING IN THE SYSTEM AND KIDSES WHO REACH OUT TO US, SOMETIMES PARENTS WITH HELP, SOMETIMES THE PARENTS MAKE THOSE TIPS, WE MAKE CONTACT WITH THEM AND WE MAKE SURE WE WORK THROUGH THOSE THINGS RESPONSIBLE LY. 45 TIMES WE'VE HAD A HIGH ALERT ON THIS SYSTEM WHERE WE'VE BEEN CONTACTED BY THE VENDOR VIA PHONE, THEY USUALLY CALL ME FIRST WHICH SOMETIMES IS FINE, THE SOMETIMES IT'S A AVERAGING TIME OF DAY BUT THEY CALL US AND WE SPIN UP OUR TEEM REGARDLESS OF THE TIME OF DAY.

SAFETY LEVELS, THIS IS A NEW DATA POINT WE'VE TRIED TO BE BETTER AT COLLECTING. YOUR SEEN THE POSTERS AROUND OF OUR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DAILY OPERATIONS.

THE GREEN LEVEL IS WHERE WE LIVE ABOUT 98 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

IF WE MOVE TO WHITENED AWARENESS WE'VE HAD FIVE OCCASIONS.

THAT MEANS THERE'S LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION IN IF AREA, A BURGLARY DOWN THE STREET. MOST OF THE TIME OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT EVEN AWARE THIS HAS OCCURRED.

THIS IS SOMETHING THE ADULTS HANDLE AND WE INCREASE OUR LEVEL OF AWARENESS FROM AN ADULT PERSPECTIVE.

VERY LITTLE OF THE TIME IN HEIGHTENED AWARENESS ACTUALLY IMPACTS INSTRUCTION. WE HAVE HAD THREE INDICATION IT'S I GUESS -- WHERE WE'VE MOV ED TO SHELTER IN PLACE AND ONE OF THESE WAS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY WHERE WE WERE BRINGING MED I SAID INTO THE HALL WAY SO WE WENT TO THE SHELTER IN PLACE IN LIEU OF CREATING THAT HAVOC, SO WE HOLD FOR A MINUTE AND LET THE PROFESSIONALS DEAL WITH WHAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND WHEN IT'S CLEAR WE RELEASE. WE HAD A SHELTER IN PLACE AT FISHERS WHERE WE HAD AN AIR HANDLER MALFUNCTION CAUSING SMOKE TO ENTER THE BUILDING AND WE KIND OF KNEW THAT WAS THE ISSUE BUT UNTIL WE COULD CONFIRM THAT WE SHELTERED IN PLACE IN A SAFE PART OF THE BUILDING UNTIL SUCH TIME WHERE WE WERE CONFIRM ED THAT IT WAS SAFE. THAT PARTICULAR DAY WAS ABOUT 3A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR OUTSIDE SO HAD WE GOWN OUTSIDE IN THE NORMAL FIRE DRILL IT WOULD A LOSS AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO SEND THE KIDS HOME. WE HAD 19 SCHOOL BUSES ON STANDBY IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE MORE SIGNIFICANT BUT WHAT THAT WAS HAPPENING OUR STUDENTS WERE SHELTERED IN PLACE SO ALL TOLD WE HAVE HAD FOUR AND A HALF HOUR S ALL YEAR LONG OUTSIDE OF NORMAL DAILY OPERATES. AND FINALLY I WANT TO MENTION CAMERAS ACCESS CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONSMENT WITH OUR CAMERAS WE HAVE A CAMERA PROJECT THAT IS ONGOING, WE HAVE BROKEN THIS CAMERA PROJECT INTO PHASES. THE FIST IS INVOLVING NEARLY ALL THE BUILDINGS, 23 BILLIONS AND INCLUDES ABOUT 120 CAMERAS ALL TOLD. AND PHASEST TWO WILL BEGIN THIS YEAR WHERE WE HAVE A NEED FOR MORE COVERAGE.

[00:40:03]

NEXT I WANT TO TOUCH ON COMMUNICATION, OUR COMMUNICATION S SYSTEM WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING PROPOSALS TO UPGRADE OUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO GIVE US A FULL SYSTEM THAT FROM MY PREVIOUS LIFE I'M MORE USE TO A SINGLE SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN TALK ACROSS THE DISTRIBUTE.

THE NEW SYSTEM WILL ALLOW FOR FOR EXAMPLE IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE AT FOCUS, NEAR DURBIN AND OUR SRO AND BY RIVER SIDE THEY HAVE ONE RADIO THAT CAN ALLOW FOR COMMUNICATION ACROSS THE DISTRICT. AND OF COURSE THE DAILY OPERATIONS WILL NOT BE CHANGED, SO LOOKING VERY MUCH AHEAD TO THIS RADIO COMMUNICATIONS PROJECT AND BRINGING MORE INFORMATION TO YOU WITH THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN MY NERD WORLD AND THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING. AND FAME I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ACCESS CONTROL. I THINK MANY PEEL HAVE PROBABLY SEEN THE VIDEO FROM NASHVILLE RELATED TO GLASS SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT NOT ALL GLASS IS CREATED EQUALLY.

WE USE LAMINATED GLASS WHICH RESPONDS VERY DIFFERENTLY FROM WHAT YOU SAW IN THAT VIDEO. OUR ENTRY POINTS UTILIZE THAT GLASS AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY NEW MEXICOING THE GLASS AND IF WE ADD THE FILM AS WE PROGRESS. SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AFTER UVALDE THE FOCUS BECAME DOORS AND I THINK AFTER THIS ONE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT GLASS AND WE'RE ON -- THESE THINGS KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT SO THEY DON'T HAVE HAVE TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT, AND I WILL BE COMING BACK WITH MORE STUFF AS I BUILD THIS INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE BUILD THIS AS A TEAM, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

AND THERE'S ANY QUESTIONSIVELY >> ANYBODY ELSE?

REALLY THERE ARE JUST TWO -- >> THANK YOU, MIKE.

THAT WAS GOOD SO ONE 'SING A COMMENT AND ONE IS A QUESTION, SO YOU MADE A COMMENT ON SLIDE NUMBER SCHOOL -- NOT NUMBER, THE TITLE IS SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER SUPPORTS AND IT GIVES THAT AND ONE OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE COMMENTS WAS OUR SROS ARE NOT PART OF DISCIPLINE BUT CAN YOU MAKE CLEAR FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING IF THERE WAS A FIGHT THEY ARE THERE TO ASSIST BUT -- THE DISCIPLINE STUFF THAT COME AFTER, I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I

THOUGHT CLARITY MIGHT BE NICE. >> WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS OUR ADMINISTRATORS ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AND THE SROINGS AFFECT ON ADMINISTRATOR REQUESTS AND PART OF THAT AND THIS IS COMMON IN ALL SCHOOLS ACROSS INDIANA IS BECAUSE WE ARE AN EDUCATIONAL ENTITY, WE'RE NOT OUT ON THE STREETS.

WE WANT OUR KIDS TO FEEL SAFE AND IMAGINE A LITTLE CHILD YOUR FIRST INTERACTION WITH POLICE IS BECAUSE YOU THREW AN I RAISER ACROSS THE ROOM, WE DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE CASE SO THEY ACT

ON OUR REQUEST. >> I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I HEARD THE COMMENT WE DON'T DISCIPLINE, IF THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE SCENE, MAYBE IN A HALLWAY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO JUST STAND BACK, THEY

WILL STEP IN TO BREAK THAT UP. >> THERE'S A PHILOSOPHY OUT THERE CALLED THE PIPELINE TO PRISON AND THE CONCEPT IS THE PREJUDICES -- PREJUDICES PRESENCE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN SCHOOL LEADS TO PRISON. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE TEMP AMOUNT TO BE A SCHOOL RESOURCE SISTERS AND YOU WILL SEE A DECREASE IN STUDENTS INTRODUCE INTO THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IF YOU HAVE THAT I GUESS SIMILAR BOLTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SCHOOL CAN THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER. WE DO NOTE WANT THE PRESENCE OF OUR OFFICERS TO CAUSE SOME SCHOOL DISCIPLINE MATTER TO

[00:45:01]

THE SROS ARE THERE -- IF THAT FIGHT BREAK OUT AND IT BECOMES A BIG SAFETY ISSUE OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A CERTAIN COMPONENT THAT OFFICERS ARE GOING TO NEED TO STEP IN BUT WE REALLY DO NOT WANT OUR OFFICERS TO BE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR ESPECIALLY ED KIDS WHO ARE DAMAGING ROOMS OR KIDS WHO ARE -- MAYBE A THEFT AT THE SECOND GRADE BOOK FAIR.

HAS A CRIME OCCURRED? ABSOLUTELY IT HAS BUT ARE WE GOING TO TAKE A SECOND GRADE KID -- NO.

THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AS A A MENTOR BUT NOT PARTICIPATING IN THAT SCHOOL

TO PRISON PIPELINE. >> THANK YOU FOR EXPANDING A LITTLE MORE. THE OTHER ONE IS A COMMENT, I REALLY LIKE THE SLIDE THAT SAYS DATA SAFETY.

IS IT JUST YOUR SUPPORT TEAM AND MAYBE LIKE DR. STOKES AND THE ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS ACCESS TO THAT DASHBOARD?

IS THAT CORRECT? >> FOR THE FH FC REPORTED SPH-PL SO THAT IS A SINGLE SYSTEM SO YES THAT IS -- THE ADMINISTRATOR S OF THAT SYSTEM HAVE ACCESS TO IS THAT AND THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS IN THE BUILDINGS WHO HAVE ACCESS

TO THEIR OWN BUILDING. >> AS A BOARD MEMBER I ASKED DR.

STOKES IS THERE A WAY TO GET THAT MONTHLY? THANK YOU I REALLY LIKE HOW THAT'S SET UP.

>> ONE OF THE SLIDES YOU TALK ABOUT PLANNING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SRO RATIOS WHAT RATIO ARE YOU LOOKING AT.

>> I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU BUT -- THE NUMBER MIGHT BE A LOT

MORE AGGRESSIVE. >> THIS IS JIMMY LAKE.

COO. THE ROBBER IS ONE SRO TO A THOUSAND STUDENTS AND THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 21.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A GROWTH PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

AS OF THIS YEAR WE WILL BE GET TING TWO ADDITIONAL SROS THAT WILL BRING US UP TO TEN AND I'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH IF CHIEF OF POLICE AS WELL AS MIKE. WE HAVE BEEN PARTNERING WITH OUR NEIGHBORING LAUNDRY ROOM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO LOOK AT WAYS TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS IN WHICH WE CAN BRING OFFICERS INTO OUR SRO PROGRAM TO INCREASE THOSE NUMBERS

>>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SRO PROGRAM AND ALL THAT YOU DO. I MEND THE WORK YOU DO AND I APPRECIATE THE GROWTH AND THE INTENTION BOTH YOU GUYS ARE

DOING. >> JUST A COUPLE.

I KNOW YOU GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

THE EIGHT SROS NOW AND EVENTUALLY GOING UP TO TEN, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S FEWER THAN OUR 23 SCHOOLS.

CAN YOU GIVE US A SENSE OF WHERE --

>> IT'S NOT SCHEDULED WE KIND OF LEAVE IT TO THEM, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO PICK UP ON PATTERNS BUT THEY HAVE BUILDINGS ASSIGNED TO THEM SO WE HAVE AN SRO ASSIGNED TO EACH HIGH SCHOOL , SO THEY'RE PART OF THE BUILDINGS ADMINISTRATION.

>> THE HIGH SCHOOLS ARE COVERED. >> THEY'RE COVERED WITH ONE PER BUILDINGS BUILDING, THEY'RE COVERED NOW WITH ONE PER BUILDING AND THERE'S ANOTHER OFFICER -- YOU'RE LOOKING AT 4,000 PEOPLE DURING THE COURSE OF A DAY SO WE HAVE ANOTHER OFFICER WHO FLOATS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO HIGH SCHOOL AND THERE'S ANOTHER SUPERVISOR OF OUR UNIT AND THERE ARE ANOTHER FOUR ADDITIONAL OFFICERS WHO ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH JUNIOR HIGH AND THE JUNIOR HIGH OFFICER HAVE THE ADDED RESPONSIBILITY OF CHECKINGABLE IN AND BEING THE ASSIGNED OFFICER TO THEIR INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL SO THEY'RE NOT THERE ALL DAY EVERY DAY. THEY HAVE TO ROTATE A LITTLE BIT BUT WE'RE WORKING ON AND TALKING TO NOBLESVILLE PD TO INCREASE

[00:50:08]

KEEP IN MIND THEY HAVE TO BE TRAINED AND HIRED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY'RE SWORN OFFICERS FIRST AND THERE ARE SOME CREATIVE WAYS FOR US TO HELP BOLSTER THE NUMBERS AND

WE'RE WORKING ON IT. >> FBI, AND I BELIEVE IN

ADDITION TO OUR SROS -- >> ANYTHING ELSE TO THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS LAST I KNEW AND I'VE BEEN RETIRED FOR ABOUT A YEAR BUT MINIMUM STAFFING, THERE'S A MINIMUM STAFFING NUMBER SO AT ANY GIVEN TIME THERE MIGHT BE TEN FISHERS POLICE OFFICERS OUT THERE WHO ARE STANDING READY TO ROLL, AND JUST AS A REFERENCE POINT WE MAY HAVE TEN OFFICERS ON DUTY BE -- 50ERS PD SENT 50 OFFICERS TOE THAT SCHOOL SO WHEN THOSE TYPE OF THINGS OCCUR, CLEAR THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING.

>> I NOTICED AFTER THAT LAST INCIDENT, TWO INCIDENTS NOW UNFORTUNATELY THAT TAKING MY OWN KID TO SCHOOL THERE'S A POLICE PRESENCE OUT THERE THAT HAPPENS BEFORE ANDED THE AT THE END OF SCHOOL IT'S BEAUTIFUL TOSS. THE OTHER QUESTION IS ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY, CAMERAS, OPEN DOOR ALARMS ARE KNOWLEDGE SROS BUT IS THE DEPARTMENT TIED INTO THOSE? DO THEY NEED TO GET INTO A BUILDING TO USE THEM? HOW MUCH ACCESS DO THEY HAVE?

>> THERE IS A WAY TO DO THAT. THE DETAILS ARE MORE OPERATION OPERATIONAL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO STAY AWAY FROM BUT WE HAVE -- ALL OF OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS HAVE KEY CARD ACCESS TO ALL OF THE BUILDINGS. WOO WORKING ON GETTING -- BECAUSE WE SPAN THREE POLICE DEPARTMENTS NOW SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THEIR TECHNOLOGY INTO OUR SYSTEM.

ALL OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFERINGSES HAVE GRAND MASTER KEYS AND WE ARE COMING UP WITH CREATIVE WAYS TO HAVE MORE OF THOUGH AVAILABLE BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF THEM OUT THERE.

IN TERMS OF THE CAMERA TECHNOLOGY THERE ARE STREAMS I BUILT SO THERE ARE A COMPONENTS ES THAT CAN TALK.

>> AND JUST LASTLY I'LL PASS ALONG FROM THE CHIEFON HE WOULD MIND ME SAYING IT ARE THERE ARE THINGS THAT COMFORTS ME.

HE WAS ADAMANT AFTER UVALDE HE SAID OUR GUYS GO IN.

HE SAID OUR GUYS GO IN, THEY'RE TRAINED AND HE SAID HE POKED AROUND AFTER THAT HAPPENED AND KNOCKED ON BREAK ROOM DOORS AND SAY HEY WE GO IN. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY WAS AWARE OF THAT. THE OTHER THING IS PEOPLE OFTEN ASKED HIM WHAT CAN WE THE TO HELP OUT AND I THOUGHTED HE HAD A GREAT ANSWER AND HE SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES HE SAID HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR KIDS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FANTASTIC ANSWER. BUT HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR KIDS T THAT SPEAKS TO BEING INVOLVED IN YOUR KID'S LIFE, TALK TO THEM ABOUT THEIR DAY SO I I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.

>> HE'S SPOT ON. THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RESEARCHES OUR KIDS HAVE WITH THEIR PARENTS SO HE'S

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON. >> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE SLIDE WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCE , ARE YOU SEEING -- DO YOU HAVE TRENDS? ARE WE GOING UP, DOWN ON SOME OF

THOSE ISSUES? >> I WOULD SAY WITH THAT PARTICULAR DATA POINT, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THAT SYSTEM AND WHERE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE LY LOOK AT THAT DATA, THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM DIDN'T PROVIDE THAT BREAK DOWN.

KEEP IN MIND THE WAY THAT DATA IS ORGANIZED ON THAT

[00:55:01]

BEING INVESTIGATEED. >>> I KNOW YOU ASKED FOR INFORMATION, THIS IS THE CHILD'S PERCEPTION BUT WE HAVE INFORMATION IN OUR DATABASE AND I THINK I SHOWED YOU THAT WHERE WE MEET THE LETTER OF THE LAW ABOUT THE DEFINITION, SO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, THEIR PERCEPTION AND THE LETTER OF THE

LAW. >> THIS PERCEPTION IS FROM THE

SYSTEM, NOT THE CHILD. >> NO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS FROM OUR REPORTED SYSTEM, SO WHAT'S -- SO THE CATEGORIES -- I DON'T MEAN TO DIMINISH THEM BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS EXPERIENCING THAT BUT ONCE WE LOOK INTO IT IT MAY MORE CAUSE MORE ALARMS TO SOUNDER OR FEWERGIC I FORTUNATELY HAVE NEVER HA THE USE THE APP SO WHEN SOMEONE IS GOING IN TO REPORT SOMETHING IS IT LIKE A CLICK BOX, A DROP DOWN SO WHAT IS ALREADY UP THERE IS

POPULATED? >> YES, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT

3,000 DEN CATEGORIES. >> SO THOSE ARE PRESORTED AS TO

WHAT YOU CAN PICK? >> THAT'S CORRECT.

ONE LAST QUESTION BUT IT'S KIND OF THE SAD BUT PART OF THIS BUT IT DOES HAPPEN AND AGAIN I'VE GOT KIDS IN THE DISTRIBUTE AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THIS DOES HAPPEN , SO I HAVE SOME FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE. UNFORTUNATELY IN A SIMPLE REPORT ING SYSTEM THERE CAN BE ABUSE, IT'S A SAD TRUTH THAT IS OUT THERE, WE'RE DEALING WITH KIDS? MY OWN KIDS HAVE TOLD MY I'M MAD AT SO AND SO AND I'M GOING TO REPORT THAT. I'M SURE EVERYTHING IS INVESTIGATED BUT IS THERE SOME LEVEL OF CONVENTION OR SOMEONE IS TALKING TO THOSE KIDS TOE MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T GET ABUSE ED? BECAUSE IF WE LOSE THAT SYSTEM

IT LOSES ITS EFFECTIVENESS. >> IT IS AN ANONYMOUS SYSTEM BUT WHEN IT'S ABUSED TYPICALLY WE COMMUNICATES THAT WE'RE ON TO THEM CAN THEY DISAPPEAR BUT FOR THE MOST PART THAT IS OCCURRED AND THERE ARE MEMBER NICHES IN PLACE FOR US TO ADDRESS THOSE

THROUGH THE SYSTEM. >> IS THERE A WAY TO IDENTIFY THE AGE OR DEIDENTIFY THE DATA WHETHER IT'S BY LOCATION SO YOU KNOW IT'S AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MIDDLE JUNIOR OR.

>> WHEN YOU LOG INTO THE SYSTEM YOU'RE ASKED WHAT BUILDING YOU GO TO. A PARENT IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK A BUILDING, THIS IS DESIGN ED FOR THE STUDENT SO WHEN THE STUDENTS SAYS THIS IS THE SCHOOL I GO TO SO WHEN IT COMES TO US IT'S COMING FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

>> SO YOU CAN IS IT IDENTIFY THE AGE RANGE.

>> ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO ROAD TO PROVIDE YOUR NAME -- I'M I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF ALL DAY BUT -- ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IS A DEAN FOR EXAMPLE WILL SAY WOULD YOU MIND COMING DOWN TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE TO TALK ABOUT THIS AND THEY DO. SO IT'S A REALLY SNOW AND ICE WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE STUDENTS WHO ARE THIS CRISIS

SOMETIMES. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

>> I HAVE SOME. SO I FIRST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO AND I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THE UPDATE IS OBVIOUSLY TIME LY AND WE APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION. MY QUESTION IS A FEW YEARS AGO AFTER THE NOBLESVILLE INCIDENT THERE WAS A PARENT NIGHT THAT WAS NOT ASSUMER WELL ATTENDED. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S BEEN ANY DISCUSS ABOUT DOING THOSE AGAIN.

I'M WONDERING IF THEY MIGHT BE MORE ATTENDED.

>> WE HELD A PARENT INFORMATION MEETING RIGHT AFTER NOBLES INDUSTRIAL AND WE FILLED -- [INDISCERNIBLE] FILLED IT AND

[01:00:07]

SO IT SEEMS TO BE CYCLICAL AND AFTER SOMETHING HAPPENS THE ROOM WOULD BE FULL AND ONE MEETING I HAD MORE OFFICERS IN THE ROOMING THAN I DID ENABLE PEOPLE. I LOVE THOSE MEETINGS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PUTT.S OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE SO PEOPLE CAN COME.

SO THAT WORKS OUT >>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COM ING TO SPEAK WITH US, WE REALLY APPRECIABLE IT ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS. SO I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL AND TIME TIMELY TO BRING THIS INFORMATION FORWARD.

THEY'RE DEFINITELY HERE TO ACTION -- ASSIST IN ANY WAY

POSSIBLE. >> I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND

ALL THE THING WE BRING FORWARD. >>> CAN I ASK REAL QUICK, I DO HAVE TO ASK THERE -- I WAS KIND OF WHISPERING IN SARAH'S EAR HERE, ARE THERE GRANTS OUT THERE OR.

>> WE HAVE A SCHOOL SAFETY GRANT BUT THOSE ARE LIMITED TO CERTAIN THINGS YOU CAN DO AND IT'S NOT A LOT OF MUST BE.

I DO SEE IN ONE OF THE CHANGE WHERE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY HAVE MORE GRANTS BUT ONCE WE SEE THAT -- JEWISH -- EYE JUST MEANT ASESOME SOMETHING THE LOOK INTO BECAUSE WE LIKE TO THINK OF FISHERS AS A SAFE COMMUNITY BUT WHEN TEN OR 11 WHEN WE HAVE 23 WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT ON WHERE THAT COMES FROM AND HOW WE CREATE IS THAT.

>> SO THERE ARE ANY FEDERAL GRANTS THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT SUPPORT SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFER OFFICERS GENERALLY SPEAKING, MRS -- SO WE ARE -- THAT'S A PIECE OF HOW WE'RE ADDING SOME SROS THIS YEAR AS WELL AS WITHIN THE BUDGET.

MR. LAKE MENTIONED HE'S WORKING ON A LONG-TERM PLAN AND HOW WE SUSTAIN THOSE THINGS SO WE HAVE TO KNOW IF IT'S FEASIBLE AND HAVE A PLAN IN ORDER TO EBB EXECUTE IT.

SO HOW DOES THAT FACTOR INTO THE BUDGET WHEN WE HAVE DOLLARS TO ALLOCATE SO IT'S NEVER BEEN BROKEN DOWN AT THAT LEVEL UNTIL MORE RECENTLY SO IF YOU'LL RECALL FROM THE REFERENDUM DISCUSSION PART OF THAT IS ABOUT WITH THOSE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT NEEDS TO BE ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOL ONLY REFERENDUM COMMITTEE MEETINGS COMING UP BUT I'M PUTTING IT OUT THERE AS A BOARD MEMBER AND A CONCERNED PARENTS AND A SUPPORT ER OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OF OUR FUNDS GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THAT 23 MARK IF NOT ALL OF IT BUT AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO SEE THE THE BIG PICTURE BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT AND TRYING TO RESEARCH INTO THAT.

>>> THANK YOU MIKE. MOVEING ON TO ABDOMEN ACADEMIC UPDATES TEACHER AND RESIDENT REE PROGRAM

>>> GOOD EVENING. I HAVE THE HONOR OF SPEAKING TOE YOU TONIGHT AROUND OUR TEACHER IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM.

I HAVE THREE VERY CREATIVE AND PASSIONATE EDUCATORS STANDING BEHIND ME AND I DO HAVE SOME THINGS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT BUT I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE TIME TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT THE EXCELLENT THINGS THEY'VE DOING. SO I HAVE AMY MERCH AND BROOK

[01:05:03]

WE ARE WORKING ON THAT. SO.

>> DANIELLE WHAT IS THE THIRD GRADE PROGRAM?

I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING PILOTING. >> YEP, I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.

SO OUR FIRST GRADE PROGRAM IS NATURE FIRST, IT WAS OUR FIRST PARTNERSHIP AND WE ARE FINISHING UP OUR EIGHTH YEAR SO PARTNERSHIPS IN ROSIES ARE NOT NEW TO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS BUT THEY GO OUT TO RITCHIE WOODS IN THE FALL AND SPRING, THERE THERE ARE THREE OUTREACH PROGRAMS THROUGH THE TO YEAR SO THAT PROGRAM TOUCHES 1500 STUDENTS AND ABOUT 75 TEACHERS.

THERE ARE FOUR NATURE FIRST RANGERS OUT THERE AS WELL AS A LEAD INSTRUCTOR AND WE DO NEED TO HAVE PARENT VOLUNTEERS.

SO FIRST GRADE SCIENCE STANDARDS ARE COVERED.

SO THE GAMUT IS COVERED. AND THE FALL IT'S A FOREST HOBBY WHERE OUR ASSUMES LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF RITCHIE WOODS AND THEY LOOK FOR ANIMAL TRACKS AND OBSERVE ANIMALS IN THEIR NATURAL HABITATS AND AGAIN TO USE THE SOFT TISSUE SOFT TISSUE EQUIPMENT AND SHARE ALL THEY SEE AND HEAR WITH ONE ANOTHER.

THE OUTREACH LESSONS WHERE OUR PARKS STAFF COME IN AND TALK ABOUT BEARS AND TALK ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF MAPLE SYRUP AND THAT IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY NOR OUR STUDENTS WHEN THAT LESSON IS THOUGHT AND THEY DO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE SOLID MAPLE CANDY BUT THE EXCITING PART IS WHERE WE INTRODUCE OUR SCIENCE JOURNALS AND THAT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH OUR STUDENTSES THE IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING OUR OBSERVATIONS.

AND THEY LEARN ABOUT SOIL, SAND, THEY LEARN ABOUT LIVING AND NON LIVING THINGS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO USE THE HAND LENSES AND THEN THEY ALSO THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR THEY TIE IN TRANSFERRING THIS TO MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THIS WHEN YOU GROW UP, SO IF YOU SEE A FIRST GRADER OR AN OLDER STUDENT THAT MIGHT SAY THIS IF YOU'RE OUT IN PUBLIC THAT TALKS ABOUT WANTING TO BE A BEEKEEPER OR A PARK RANGER OR A SCIENTIST OF ONLY SORT THAT WAS PROBABLY SPARKED BY NATURE FIRST.

>> HI I'M BROOK DANIEL AND I'M THE TEACHER IN RESIDENCE AT AGRI PARTNERING AND I'M SO LUCKY TO SERVICE ALMOST 1500 OF THE SECOND GRADE STUDENTS WE HAVE IN HFC.

3100 KITS ARE GOING TO BE WELL ENDOWED WITH ALL THIS WONDERFUL AGRICULTURE KNOWLEDGE. STUDENTS ARE OUT THREE DIFFERENT TIME AND IN CLASSROOMS TWICE AND THEN THERE'S AN I LEARNING MODULE THAT IS ALL SECOND GRADE AS WELL AS CLASSROOM EXTENSIONS WITH THE HYDRO HYDRO HYDROPONIC. SO ON THE FIST TRIP OUT THEY ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PERMISSION TO PUBLISHES AND PRODUCE THAT COME FROM A FARM. THEY'RE OUT ON THE GROUND TAKING OBSERVE OBSERVATIONAL NOTES AND THEY BRING THAT EVIDENCING BACK AND THEY TAKE PART IN A SOFT TISSUE.

A TO DEFEND WHAT THEY THINK IS THE STRONGEST LIVING THING TON FARM. AND JUST REALLY GREAT TOSS THEIR IDEAS AND THOUSAND HAY DEFEND THEIR EVIDENCE AND THEIR THINKING. THE SECOND TRIP HAPPENS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WINTER AND WE'RE THINKING AND FOURING ON ENGINEER ING AND EROSION AND THEY ARE ENGINEERING AND DESIGNING A WAY TO KEEP EROSION FROM HANDLING, THEY'RE TAKING NOTES THROUGH THE HFC FOUNDATION, I HAD A GRANT TO PURCHASE HEAT ROW

[01:10:01]

SO STUDENTS ARE LOOKING AT THE IMPACT OF WEATHER ON FATHOM AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE USING THE MEASURE. AND CREATING A RAYS IN THEIR FIELD WHICH IS REPEAT ADDITION AND HOW MEASURE.

IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT FACTOR ON THE FARM AND THEY'RE COLLECTING WEATHER DEET AND THINKING ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT THAT SHOULD BE MADE AND TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND GRAPH IT AND THEY THEN USING WEATHER DATA THEY PLANT THEIR OWN SEEDS CAN CAN THEY GET TO TAKE THOSE SEEDS HOME, SEEING THAT LIFE CYCLE FROM THE BEGINNING. AND ALL THAT FULL CIRCLE PIECE.

ADDED IN APP E-LEARNING MODULE THIS YEAR AND WE FOCUS ON -- ACTUALLY IT WAS THE STANDARD OF SMALL PIECES CAN BE TAKEN APART AND BE MADE INTO SOMETHING NEW SO IT'S A NEW I STANDARD BUT WE USED LEGOS TO BUILD A COUPLE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES AND IT REPRESENTED TO ARCHITECTURE AND FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, SO WE LOOPED THAT IN AND WE WERE COMPARING AND CONTRASTING DIFFERENT BUILDINGSERS AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE IMPLEMENTS OF SHAPES IN ARCHITECTURE AND 3-D SHAPE STANDARDS, AND I POP INTO THE CLASSROOMS TWICE A YEAR SO WE FOCUS ON STATES OF MATTER AND HOW HEAT CAN CAUSE REACTIONS YOU CAN UNDO AND REACTIONS YOU CAN'T UNDO AND WE MAKE POPCORN WITH THAT AND WHILE IT'S IN THE TWO POPCORN MAKERS THEY SEE THE CON SENSATION AND THEY'RE USING THAT VOCABULARY AND THE EXCITEMENT OF IT HAPPENING AND WE SEE HOW THAT REACTION CAN'T BE UNDONE BUT THE BUTTEDDER THAT WE'RE MELTING IT BEEN UNDONE AND I PULL BACK THIS THE THREE KINDS OF CONSCIOUS AND BY NOW MOST OF OUR SECOND GRAD ERS CAN TELL YOU THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF CORN. THE SECOND LESSON IS SEED DISS PER SAL AND POLLINATION. AND WHY QUESTION NEED THAT FOR IF MAJORITY OF THE FOOD WE EAT AND A QUICK SIMULATION OF THEM SEEING POLLEN AND MOVE HAING THAT.

AND WE HAVE HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS IN EACH CLASSROOM AND YOU SEE THERE IN THE MIDDLE THEY'RE HARVESTING THEIR CROPS.

I KNOW SOME CLASSES HAVE CREATED HAVE A SALAD BAR AND THEY'VE WRITTEN SPIES AND THEY TEACHERS HAVE TAKEN IT AS FAR AS JUST PLANTING SEEDS IN DIFFERENT WAYS I HAVE AMAZING TEAM, I FEEL SO LUCKY TO HAVE AMAYING TEACHERS THAT I GET TO WORK WITH, SO TYING IN ALL THE THIS IS THAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THIS OVER

[01:15:01]

AND SOME OF THE CAREERS CONSIDER ONE OF MY BIG BEHIND THE ESSENCE GOAL IS I CAN'T WANT KIDS TO THINK FARMING IS JUST THE THE TRACTORS, IT'S DRONES TO LOOK AT CROPS OR THE VETERINARIAN OR SOMEONE WORKING THIS BOASTINGS I , SO THEY'RE AGE TO SEE ALL THESE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THIS CAREER EXPOSURE AT THE FARM THEN I THINK I'VE DONE A LITTLE PART TO MAKE THINGS

BETTER, SO AMY IS UP NEXT. >> HELLO.

I'M AMY. I TEACH FIFTH GRADE.

MY PARTNERSHIP IS WITH CONNOR PRAIRIE AND I'VE BEEN A TEACHER IN RESIDENCE FOR FIVE YEARS SO I WAS THE FIRST ONE THE TRY THIS.

SO I WORK WITH OUR FOURTH GRAD ERS AND WE HAVE ALMOST 1600 STUDENTS AND THEY'RE OUT THREE TO FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES.

AND AS OF TODAY I'VE HAD ABOUT 790 CHAPERONES OUT SO IT'S VERY MUCH A COMMUNITY PIECE THAT WE ARE SUPER HONORED AND PROUD OF AND JUST LOOK FORWARD TO EACH DAY.

SIMILAR TO BROOK, MINE ARE BROKEN UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT WAYS AS WELL BUT MORE OF A SEASONAL PIECE BECAUSE OF THE PARTNERSHIP OF BEING WITH CON 'NOTHER PRAIRIE CERTAIN TIME OF YEAR I'M ABLE TO HAVE STUDENTS OUT IN THE PUBLIC AND OTHER TIME IT'S JUST US. SO IN IN FALL WE FOCUS ON ENERGY AND DIFFERENT FORCES OF MOTION. MY FAVORITE PIECE OF THIS WORK IS THAT I GET TO BRING COB SETTLEMENTS TO THRIVER IN A DIFFERENT WAY. ANY LENS IS ALWAYS WHAT IS AN EXPERIENCE I CAN GIVE THESE I STUDENTSES THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE ANYWHERE ELSE , SO TAKING OUR FOURTH GRADE AND FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE STANDARD S AND LOOKING THROUGH THAT LENS WE TALK ABOUT FORCES OF FLIGHT SO OF COURSE WE'RE OUT AT THE PRAIRIE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SHOOTING ARCHERY AND THROW ING TOMAHAWKS, WE'RE GOING TO BE WRITING RIDING THAT BEAUTIFUL BALLOON. ALSO IN THE FALL ONE OF ANY FAVORITES ACTUALLY, I'M DOING THIS AGAIN RIGHT NOW IS BUOYANCY SO WHERE I'M LOCATED I'M JUST UP THE HILL FROM OUR BEAUTIFUL WHITE RIVER AND SO STUDENTS RIGHT NOW AS WELL AS THIS THE FALL WERE CREATING BOATS SO WE'RE CREATING DIFFERENT PROTOTYPES, I HAVE PARENTS LEAD ING THE DEMONSTRATIONS, JUST BRINGING THE LIFE THIS IDEA OF DESIGN AND ENGINEERING, SO MANY MATH COB CONCEPTS ARE BEING SPRINKLED IN AND OF COURSE WE PUT THEM IN THE RIVER AND THEY GET TO TEST OUT THE CREATIONS AND IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL MOMENT FOR SOME OF THE KIDS THAT HAVEN'TED THAT THAT EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN THE WOODS.

AND EVERYTHING IS SHOWN THROUGH REAL LIFE EXAMPLES, KIDS ARE ABLE TO TOUCH AND FEEL AND TRY OUT DIFFERENT THINGSFUL WE HAVE THE HONOR TO WORK WITH THE CAMP DRIVE-BY SHOOTING TORSO OUR KIDS ARE ZIP LINEING. THEY'RE UP IN PRAIRIE TOWN AND TALKING WITH THE BOYFRIEND DIFFERENT INTERPRETERS AND GET TING REAL LIFE HISTORICAL ANSWERS BACK.

WHICH IS COOL. SO IN THE WINTER TIME THIS IS WHEN IT'S JUST US OUT ON THE PRAIRIE.

IN IF IT'S WINTER TIME ALL OUR FOURTH GRADERS COME FOR A TWO

[01:20:02]

IS IS YOU CAN SEE THE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF KIDS HAVING DEBATES AND DEEP MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION S.

SPRINGTIME, WE'RE BACK TO SCIENCE PRIMARILY.

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING COMING UP ARE SOME ADAPTATIONS IN GENETICS SO WHAT BETTER WAY THAN THE USE THE ANIMAL BABIES. CHILDREN ARE USING ALREADY VIRGINIA TO WHAT BROOK AND RITCHIE WOODS ARE DOING, WE EVER HYDROUPONNICS, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE DIFFERENT MEASUREMENTS AND DIFFERENT DATA COLLECTIONS. GENETICS IS A COOL THING WE'RE ABLE TO BRING TO LIFE BECAUSE THEY'RE ABLE TO SEE AND TOUCH THE DIFFERENT BABIES AND SEE HOW THEY LOOK SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACTLY LIKE THEIR MOTHER AND HERE'S DEBATE AGAIN.

STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO CHOOSE A CLAIM THAT THEN GATHER EVIDENCE AROUND AND THEY KIND OF CREATE THEIR OWN DEBATE.

WE DO A SO CATTIC CIRCUMSTANCE AND'RE ALL OVER THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE THE JOY OF USING THIS THOUSAND PLUS ACHIC EVERY DAY. SO IS THAT THAT IS OUR SPRING.

>> AND ON TO ME. I'M JENNIFER, I'M THE MAKER PLAYGROUND TEACHER IN REGISTERS FOR ALL OF OUR FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS. WE HAVE ABOUT 1,570 STUDENTS THAT RECEIVE TWO ON-SITE TRIPS. STUDENTS EXPERIENCE CAREER PATHS THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY AVAILABLE IN THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM AND WE HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 360 CHAPERONES THAT ATTENDED THIS YEAR. IS THE THING THAT I'M MOST EXCITED AROUND ARE THE SKILLS, THE 21ST CENTURY SKILLS THE ASSUME STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN WHILE THEY'RE WITH ME AND THE ONE THING IS GRIT. THAT WAS ONE THING A LOT OF STUDENTS WERE LACKING SO WE TALK ABOUT HOW WHEN WE ARE LEARNING SOMETHING NEW IT'S OKAY TO FEEL A LITTLE FRUSTRATED OR NERVOUS OR SCARED, THAT'S ALL PART OF THE LEARNING PROCESS SO TO HAVE THAT SPACE WHERE THEY'RE NOT BEING GRADED ON SOMETHING AND THEY CANNOT HAVE THAT FEAR OF TAIL YOUR AND KNOW I CAN DO THIS , I'VE GOT THAT ABILITY IS WHAT WE TRY TO FOCUS ON.

THEY'RE USING CREATE -- WE HAVE THREE -- PRINTING SO THE STUDENT S ARE USING DESIGN PRINCIPLES THAT I TEACH IN TINKER CAD WHICH IS AN ENTRY LEVEL PRODUCT FROM AUTO DESK.

WE'RE DOING IT ON A MUCH SMALLER INTRODUCTORY LEVEL SO THEIR LEARNING HOW TO DESIGN IN THAT THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE ON THE

[01:25:04]

WE THEN LOOK AT CIRCUITRY, THEY ARE USING 60S AND THEY HAVE TO COME ONE A SANDWICH TO TURN ON A LIGHT FOR THEIR LOCKERSMENT THEREFORE ALL CAREFULS OF WAYS TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND I'M AMAZES THE WAY THEY CREATE THESE WONDERFUL SWITCHESMENT SO REALLY EXCITING STUFF. THE KIDS ARE IN THERE AND THEY GET AT THE SCENE HOW THE MEMBER S ARE MAKE CAN GO BUILDING THINGS AND THEY GET TO EXPERIENCE THAT AND SEE THAT SIDE OF IT. SEW THEY'RE USING HAMMER, NAILS,

USING DEXTERITY . . . >>> THEY WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AND SAID WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE GOAT ENCLOSURES HERE AT RIVER SIDE. THEY WROTE PER SITUATION I HAVE LETTERS AND GOT MATERIALS AND THEN INTO TINKER CAD AND STIPEND DESIGNED THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE AND WENT TO START BEING EVERYTHING, THEY WERE PAINTING FUL THEY CREATED VIDEOS.

I SHOWED THEY WILL HOW QR CODES CAN BEEN DISPLAYED.

THIS ARE ABLE THE USE THOSE, SO THAT WAS A REAL COOL EXPERIENCE.

[01:30:06]

AND FOR THE STOP MOTION ANIMATION THEY'RE APPLYING THAT IN THE CLASSROOM, SO WE HAD ONE FOR REASONS FOR SEASONS AND VERY COOL VIDEO. SO I'M PARTICIPATING WITH THE FISHERS PARKS, SO I WORK VERY CLOSELY AND THEY HAVE A BIS KIDS DAY. THEY HAD TO CLOSE TO REGISTRATION AFTER JUST ONE MONTH BECAUSE THERE WAS SUCHEN OUT POURING OF STUDENTS WANNING TO BECOME ENTREPRENEURS SO THERE WAS SEARCH AN OUT STANDING RESPONSE.

SO IT'S BEEN A VERY EXCITING PROCESS.

THANK YOU. >> SEW I'M GOING TO WRAP US UP BY SHARING THE THIRD GRADE NEW PROGRAM PILOT.

SO WE ARE PILOTING IT THE SECOND SEMESTER, IT IS A THIRD GRADE MUNICIPAL PARTNERSHIP AND THAT PICTURE IS A GROUP OF STUDENTS DOING A MOCK CITY COUNCIL WHERE THEY GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS WHICH IS SO VERY COOL. HALF OF OUR THIRD GRADERS WEB TV MUNICIPAL AREA SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A CITY HALL RIGHT NOW AND THE OTHER HALF WITHINNED IN OUR BOX CITY OUT REACH AND THEY GET TO MEET WITH THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE AND EMERGENCY AND I DO BELIEVE THAT WAS OUR CITY JUNG JUDGE IN THE OTHER PICTURE.

AND THE BOX OUTREACH LESSON IS WHERE THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND THE ENGINEERING AND WATER QUALITY DEPARTMENTS GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT INTOING IN OF A CITY SO THEY GET TO CREATE THEIR OWN. NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE EXPANDING IT SO ALL THREE RED LIGHT ELEMENTARIES WILL GET TO VISIT THE CITY CENTER SO IS THAT WILL BE VERY KITE EXCITING FOR ALL OF

OUR STUDENTS. >> I'M GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT I'M SO VERY DID I DIS PORTLAND METRO AREA -- MY KID S ARE 28, 25, 23 AND THOUGH THEY HAD GREAT OCEANS JUST TO HEAR HOW WE HAVE THIS EXPLORATORY LEARNING AND WE TOUCH MINOR CHILDS SO EARLY ON SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE -- THIS IS A PART OF THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT OUR DISTRICT IS DOING AND I COMMEND THE THREE OF YOU AND OUR ADMINISTRATION FOR KEEP THING GOING, GOING GOO A FOURTH PROGRAM WHICH IS A -- THIRD GRADE AND JUST THAT THEY HAVE THAT, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS TODAY, I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE. E-91 TALKING TO OTHER PARENTS THIS THE COMMUNITY THAT WEB RIVER -- WE CAN REFER THEM BACK TO, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> I WILL ECHO THE COMMENCEMENT COMMENTS.

THEY CAN LOOK BACK TO THOSE THINGS AND I REMEMBER DOING A LOT OF THESE THING, WE DID THE TREE TAPPING, AND I REMEMBER A PANCAKE BREAKFAST, BUT I REMEMBER IT AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT AND MY MOM WAS A TEACHER MY WHOLE LIFE AND SHE ALWAYS

[01:35:06]

THESE THINGS ARE SO IMPORTANT. I LOVE THAT WE'RE DOING ALL THE HANDS ON LEARNING STUFF AND IT SHOWS THEM DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITY AND MAKES THEM FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMETHING THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, AND I WILL TELL YOU MY SON AWE HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS WAS A 3-D PRINTER. SO I ORDERED ONE THAT HAD TO BE BUT TOGETHER BUT MY SON PUT IT TOGETHER WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND I WAS REALLY SHOCKED WHEN YOU COULD JUST PRESS A BUTTON AND MAYBE THINGS, AND I THINK HE'S REALLY FOUND A LOVE OF DESIGN AND ENGINEERING, SO SOMETHING THAT MOST OF THE TIME HE'S WORR IED ABOUT BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL, SO IT HELPS WITH THE ARRANGEDDICS, SO ALL THESE THINGS COME TOGETHER, MATH AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE TALK ABOUT AGAIN CREATING THE KNOX GENERATION OF LEADERS SO

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. >> I WANT TO ADD MY KIDS ARE TOOLED TO VISIT AGRIPARKS BUT I GOT TO GO TO CONNOR PRAIRIE MULTIPLE TIMES, MY SEVENTH GRADER MISSED IT BY A YEAR BUT WE STILL HAVE OUR SHADOW EIFFEL TOWER THAT WE BUILT AND WE HAVE THE BOAT FROM THE BOAT BUILDING CONTEST SO NOW IT'S A CHALLENGE WITH THE GRAND KIDS, AND THE ADULT HAVING STARTED TO AGAIN IN ON IT TOO SINGLE BUT JUST EVEN OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, HAVING THOSE EXPERIENCES HAS IT IMPACT ED MY ENTIRE FAMILY FROM OREGON TO MINNESOTA TO OHIO TO HERE, THE THINGS THEY LEARNED OUT THERE ARE CREATING RELATIONSHIPS THAT WOULDN'T OTHERS BE THERE SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO TO GIVE OUR STUDENTS

THESE YOU BE CREDIBLE STUDENTS. >> I WANT TO ECHO THAT TOO AND SAY THANK YOU. I DID GET TO GO TO CONNOR PRAIRIE AND RITCHIE WOODS BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HER CLASS WAS THE FIRST CLASS BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT'S BEEN AROUND EIGHT YEARS SO I THINK IT'S REALLY NEAT AND I WANT TO REITERATE THAT WE CONTINUE TO GROW THESE PROGRAMS. SO I THINK IT'S REALLY KITE TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW THESE UNIQUE OPPORTUNIT IES SO THANK YOU TO YO ALL AND THANK YOU TO THE ADMINISTRATION FOR SUPPORTING THESE.

>> I LOVE THIS AND WHERE MY MIAMI-DADE MIND GOES IS HOW DO WE LOVE A LOVE AND WE THINK ABOUT THE PATH WAYS AND MY DAUGHTER WHO'S GETTING READY TO GRADUATE LEARNED A LOT OF THE TECH THEES YOUR TEACHING NOW SHE LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH PROJECT LEAD THE WAY SO A LOT OF THINGS ARE BEING ACCELERATED SO AS WE DO THAT HOW DO WE TALK ABOUT THAT EXCITEMENT AND CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THAT EXPERT ABLE LEARNING BECAUSE IT'S A HUMAN OPPORTUNITY AND TO HOOK THEM IN EARLY TO GET THAT EXCITEMENT IT ACCELERATES THEIR DESIRE TO LEARN MORE AND THE MATH AND THE SOMETIMES BUILDS THAT PASSION INTO WANTING TO LEARN SO IT'S EXCITING STUFF TO SEE IS I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHERE

[01:40:05]

THIS GOES MORE. >>> ADDS WITHIN LAST THING, I THINK WE'RE DOING OKAY ON TIME SO I WANTED TO BREAK PROTOCOL, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR A FELLOW BOARD MEMBER.

DIRECT TESTIMONY ALBRIGHT IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THE CHICKEN SITUATION, THAT IS A GOD CHICKEN ENCLOSURE?

>> IF THEN ABLE THE KEEP THEIR CHICKENS ALIVE I'M IMPRESSED BECAUSE I'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEM ANDS AND I HAD THE TEACH ER -- THE ART TEACHER MR. JOHNSON WAS KEEP IN MIND ENOUGH TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND LOOK AT MY CHICKEN COOP AND GIVE ME POINTERS BECAUSE I'VE LOST A LOT OF CHICKENS.

NOW THEY WON'T LAY EGGS SEW I'M ANGRY AT THEM.

MY KIDS DIDN'T GET GET TO GO THROUGH THAT BUT I REMEMBER MY BOYS COMING HOME AND SAYING MOM, YOUR CHILDRENS DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE SO I WENT OUT THERE AND I LOOKED AT THAT CHICKEN SCOOP AND I ACTUALLY PRICED THAT DOOR THAT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH THE LIGHT OUTSIDE, DIDN'T HIT MY BEING, BUT ANYHOW I THANK YOU THINK IT'S AMAZING AND I WANT GOATS BADLY BUT I CAN NOT HAVE THEM RUNNING DOWN 126TH STREET. I THINK IT IS AMAZING AND I GET VERY EXCITED ABOUT THINGS THAT I HAVE A PASSION FORS AND I WISH

MY KIDS WOULD STILL BE LITTLE. >>> MOVING ON TO FINANCIALS

UPDATE. >> I WANT THE SAY IF MR. JOHNSON WAS CONCERNED HE HAD TO GO TO SPEECH AND DEBATE YOU PUT THE MOST BORING THING AT THE END OF TWO VERY GOOD PRESENTATIONS SO THANK YOU MRS. JUSTICE FOR THAT. AS YOU KNOW THIS IS OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO DO A PHYSICAL EXAM PRESENTATION FOR IF BOARD.

HISTORICALLY THIS IS BEEN DONE DURING THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS BUT WE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO START.

THIS PRESENTATION IS ON THE BOARD WEBSITE ON BOARD DOCKERS AND I THINK I WOULD SAY THIS PRESENTATION AND ITS FORMAT CAN CHANGE BASED ON FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE AMONGST OURSELVESMENT SO ON THE FIRST SLIDE -- WELL THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE T. OH YOU GAVE ME A CLICKER, SORR IMENT JUST A REMINDER OUR BUDGET WAS ADOPTED IN OCTOBER 2022 FOR CALENDAR YEAR 23.

FOR US I THINK WHAT GETS PARTICULARLY COMPLICATE OUR BUDGET YEAR IS YES AND NO TO DECEMBER BUT THE SCHOOL YEAR IS JULY 1 SO WHEN WE ARE DEVELOPING THE EDUCATION FUND BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVE A SECOND STUDENT COUNT THAT HAPPENS AFTER THE BUDGET AND ALSO DEPEND DEPEND ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE STATE BUTT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'LL BE SO WE'RE BEING CONSERVATIVE BUT IT IS WHY ALL THE DIFFERENT FORECASTS, HISTORICAL DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AS WELL AS THE ECONOMIC OUT LOOK PRESENTATIONS ARE HELPFUL SO WE CAN HIT OUR GOALS.

THE EDUCATION FUND YOU CAN SEE TOTAL REVISED BUDGET IS OR 151.3 MILLION. YEAR TO DATE EXPENSES ARE UNDER TO 6.3. THROUGH FEBRUARY 28 IF YOU NOTICED ON THE OPEN SLIDE. S THIS IS THE SAME PERIOD YEAR OVER YEAR SO SHOW YOU REVENUE EXPENSES AND THAT CASH BANGS AND YOU CAN SEE WE'RE TIGHT TEEN THE REVENUE AND THE EXPENSES WHICH IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE. SO WITHIN THE EDUCATION FUND OUR

[01:45:01]

THE REASONS FOR THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAYBE SOME ADJUSTMENTS FOR NEXT YEAR AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO SHIFT SOME STAFFING AROUND. AS WELL AS WITHIN SPECIAL EDUCATION BECAUSE HIRING HAS BEEN SO DIFFICULT BUT SPECIFICALLY WITHIN SPECIAL ED WHEN WE NEED AN IA, AN INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANT, THINGS THAT NEED TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AS PART OF THEIR IEP WE DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO FIND SOMEBODY TO BE A PERMANENT SUB FOR THAT DAY AND THAT'S RESULTED IN US NEEDING TO OUTS SOURCE SOME OF THOSE POSITION.

THAT HAS A PRETTY HEFTY PROPRIETIES TAG SO AS WE WORK THROUGH RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES WE THINK THAT WILL LEVEL OUT BUT

THAT IS A BIG COST US. >>> REFERENDUM FUND, IF APPROVED BUDGET IS JUST UNDER 26.3 MR. AND MRS. MILLION.

THE YEAR TO DATE EXPENSES, YEAR TO DATE, JUST FOR EVERYONE'S BOLT HERE AGAIN IS A GRAPH TO SHOW -- I KNOW YOU CAN SEE THAT.

REALLYATHON EXISTENT GREEN LINE IS BEHAVE REFER REMEMBER DUMB IS PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED SO WE GET THOSE TWICE A YEAR SO WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT REVENUE IN YET ARREST THE REASON FOR THE DROP WITHEN THE CASH BALANCE IS BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT WE INVESTED TOWARDS THE LITERACY ADOPTION TO OFFSET COSTS TO OUR FAMILIES SO THAT'S WHY YOU SAW THAT CASH BALANCE LINE GO DOWN FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR. LAST FOOD SERVICE FUND, THIS FUND DOESN'T NECESSARILY GO THROUGH THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL BUT WITH CREATE A BUDGET FOR IT SO THEIR BECOME WAS THAT 10.6 MILLION. AND THEIR EX-MENDSTURES WERE 1.4 WHICH IS LOWER THAN OUR BEFORE MARK AS YOU CAN SEE BY 3.2 PERCENT, THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR A COUPLE REASON.

WORSHIP FOOD SERVICE WE HAVE LIMITATIONINGS ON HOW MUCH WE THINK HAVE IN THE FUND SO WE COMPLAINT HAVE ANY MORE THAN OUR TONIGHT DAYS AVERAGE OPERATIONAL EXPENSES SO WE DON'T AS A DISTRICT I DON'T TAKE IN DIRECT COSTS AND STICK IT IN MY EDUCATION FUNDS, THAT STAYS WITH EN THE FUND FOR MRS. ONGOING OGDEN TO USE SO TWO YEARS WE HAD A 3 MILLION-DOLLAR OUT STANDING LOAN AND I THINK WE'RE ALL HAPPY WITH HOW THAT'S TURNING AROUND AND MRS. OGDEN IS GOING A GREAT JOB WITH THAT.

RAINY DAY FUND WE USE THAT FOR INTERNAL BORROW SO WE KEEP THAT SAME BALANCE, AND WE'RE USING 10 MILLION OF THAT AS A TEMPORARY LOAN TO OUR OPERATIONS FUND.

THE REST OF IT WE USE TO FRONT LOAD OUR OPERATIONAL GEO BOND

[01:50:07]

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THE FOOD AND WHAT DO WE CALL IT -- THE FOOD

ING IS UPDATE. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> QUICK QUESTION, I KNOW THAT WE HAD SEVER SEVERAL LINES OPEN THE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND SOME OF THE CAFE STUFF IS NOT OPEN, IS THIS MORE OF A STAFFING THING OR IS IT BECAUSE OF OUR BUDGET?

>> IT ISN'T BUDGET, I WOULD SAY IT'S MORE STAFFING, THEY ARE RE OPENING SOME OF THE LINES BUT I I BELIEVE IN THE MIDST OF VAL ING THE SERVICE. BUT THAT IS HER AREA AND I DO KNOW KNOW KNOW -- -- SHE HAS BEEN GOING OUT WITH ME TO THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUPS, BUT SHE'S GONE TWICE TO THE VARIOUS HIGH SCHOOLS TO TRY TO TALK TO THE STUDENTS ABOUT WHAT IT IS THEY WANT. WE HAVE ASKED THE STUDENTS ABOUT THEM THE KIDS HAVE COME UP WITH WAYS TO PUT QR CODES ABOUT WHICH LINE YOU NEED TO GO TO SO IT'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING THE STUDENTS TO HELP LUNCH BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO

THEM. >> THAT'S ON OUR NEXT MONTH?

>> YES. >> THANK YOU.

>> WORE YOU DOWN. SO YOU KNOW THAT 3-D PRINTER IS

NOT REIMBURSEABLE. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION, AND ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVERY

MONTH? >> IT DEPENDS ON THE TIMING OF THE FIRST MEETING, THE FIRST WEDNESDAY IF IT'S EARLY ITS THROWS OFF BUT EVERY MONTH YOU'LL HAVE A FINANCIAL

PRESENTATION FOR. >>> THAT'S A GREAT ADD, I THINK

THANK YOU. >> I AGREE AND THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL ESPECIALLY FOR THE COMMUNITY GOING TO GO INTO THIS REFERENDUM TO HAVE THESE FREQUENT UPDATES CAN THAT'S HELP FUL WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE EXPENSING SOME ITEMS ON THE FRONT SO WE ARE TRACKING WITH THE INDUSTRY PRACTICES AND THANKS, SO I THINK THIS WILL BE HELPFUL TO KEEP THESE GOING.

>> AND ITS HELPS REINFORCE THE FUNDS AND WHAT THEY'RE USES

[6. Action Items]

THANK YOU. SO THIS IS JUST A REALLY BUSY

>> IT MAKES SENSE TO ME. UNDERSTANDING HOW COMPETITIVE THE MARK IS, I EVER A COMMUNITY MEMBER ASKED ME WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT TOO AND I SAID IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE REAL MARKET, PELL BITE YOU PUT AN OFFER ON THE HOUSE SOMEBODY ELSE HAS DONE IT AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS WE HAD WERE AT WHAT LEVEL -- IT LOOKS FAIRLY OPEN-ENDED AS FAR AS THE WRITTEN POLICY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT CONSTRAINED IN WRITING FORTUNE SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE PARENT POLICY IF YOU CREATE A NEW POSITION, BUT PUT IT IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL OR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS THOSE ARE MY ONLY CONCERNS.

IF WE FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN DRIVE A BUS WE HAVE TO GET THEM IMMEDIATELY BUT THE HIRED A MOR IVE LEVEL THAT'S NOT THE PLAN , AND I'M UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT LIKES TO SEE IT ON PAPER SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING, JUST SOME LIMITATIONS, BUT OTHERWISE IT MAY RECOLLECT SENSE TO ME.

>> I'M NOT SURE IF I SENT THE E-MAIL OUT EARLIER TODAY IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT. IT IS WRITTEN OPEN ENDED BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID ANYTIME WE HAVE TO HIRE A LEADED A ADMINISTRATOR WE ALWAYS MAYBE THE BOARD KNOW THOSE PENTAGON POSITIONS ARE OPEN. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID WHILE WE'VE NEVER HAD TO HIRE AN ADMINISTRATOR I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT AN ADMINISTRATOR WON'T RE SIGN TWO WEEKS FROM NOW AND DEPENDING IF IT'S THE HIGH SCHOOLS WE HAVE A BOARD MEMBER HMM OUT WITH THAT SO IT WAS BASICALLY DESIGNED WITH TEACHERS IN MIND BUT WE MIGHT HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY FOR TRANSPORTATION OR SOMEBODY FOR SPECIAL ED SO WE WANTED TO BE AIL THE HIRE.

THEY STILL COME BACK FOR BOARD APPROVAL WE'RE JUST GIVING THEM

AN OFFER. >> AND IT DOES COME BACK FOR BOARD APPROVAL PROBABLY BEFORE THEIR STARTED.

WHAT IS THE LONGIST TIME WE GO WITHOUT A BOARD MEETING? WE GO MAYBE A MONTH IN BETWEEN MEETINGS SO IF THERE'S ANY HIRE ING PROCESS -- MAYBE AN OFFER AND THAT WOULD BE GETTING

CLOSE TO ANOTHER BOARD MEETING. >> LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING IS MAYOR TEN, LET'S STORMING A POSITION COMES OPEN AND WE POST IT SO LET'S SAY WE LEAVE IT UP BUT WE DO SOME INTERVIEWING, TYPICALLY WITHIN THREE DAYS WE BETTER OFFER THEM A JOB, BUT THERE'S NO BOARD MEETING BEFORE WE OFFER THEM THAT JOB SO WE GIVE THEM A TENTATIVE OFFER, SO WE COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG OR WE WILL LOSE THE CANDIDATE.

WE NEED TO OFFER IT WITHIN THREE DAYS

>>> AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IT'S NOT JUST OFFERING THE JOB TOO

[02:00:03]

CHECKS. >> EVERYTHING IS PENDING BEING

CHECKS -- >> I SUPPORT THE EMERGENCY -- I DON'T LIKE THE WORD EMERGENCY BUT WE NEED TOO THE IMMEDIATE FOR GOOD TALENT SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF THAT.

MY QUESTION -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY CONCERN, JUST OPEN NECESSARY TO ASK THE MORE ON THE BUDGET OF KNOWING HOW MANY DO WE DO IS IT IS IT THREE A WEEK? WHAM IF WE NEED TO FILL 12, AS A BOARD CAN WE GET A WEEKLY REPORT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT EDUCATORS.

OR HEADS OF CAN YOU SAY CUSTODIALMENT SO GETTING THEM INTO OUR SCHOOL AND WANTING TO SUPPORT THIS AND MOVING FORWARD BUT AT THE SAME TIME NOT KNOWING DID WE JUST HIRE 12 NEW POSITION S THAT MONTH AND OUR BUDGET OF MAYBE $60,000 POSITION JUST CAME THROUGH AND NOT KNOW THAT THAT JUST HAPPENED.

>> SO I KNOW MS. DOWLING HAS SOMETHING TO SAY BUT FIRST OF ALL THE POSITIONS WE HIRE ARE NOT NEW UNLESS IT'S REQUIRED AND WE HAVE TO DO THAT NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IS SO TYPICALLY IT'S IF SOMEBODY RE TIRED OR RESIGNED OR WAS LET GO, SEEMS LIKE. WE'RE TINGLY FILLING A CURRENT POSITION BUT IF THE IEP CALLS FOR SUPPLETIVE TYPE OF SUPPORT.

>> LET'S USE A TEACHER FOR EXAMPLE, MAY MAY BE IN A HIRING DIFFERENT LEVEL SO IF A TEACHER JUST LEFT AND NOW WE'RE ACCEPT ING THEM AND THEY'RE AT 509,000.

>> I'LL LET KATIE SPEAK TO THAT. >> I THINK THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT YOU'RE REFFING TO THAT'S WHAT MS. LIPPY AND I ARE MONITORING ON A DRIVEN WIDE LEVEL SO WE'RE LOOKING AT COLLECTIVELY WHO IS RETIREDDERS WHO'S RETAIN SIGNED AND AS THEY COMPLAIN BACK TO WE HAVE TO PUT OUR HANDS ONERER SINGLE STAFF REQUEST FOR HIRE AND MANY OF THOSE ARE ABOUT RESIGNATION AND RETIREMENT. SOWTHED NEED TO ADD A ASSOCIATION TO LEVEL THAT OUTER SO I'M NOT ALWAYS LOOKING AT IT ON A ONE TO ONE BECAUSE MAYBE HERE THE PERSON AT THE TOP OF THE SCALE LEFT AND THEN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BECOME WE HAD TO HIRE SOMEBODY HERE THE TOP TO HAVE SCALE BECAUSE IT HAVE HARD TO FILL BECAUSE IT'S AP BIOLOGY, BUT IS WE ARE MONITORING THAT.

ALL THE TIME AND THEY DO COME BACK WHEN IT HILTS THAT CONSENT AGENDA. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY BUILDING LEADER THAT WOULD SAY KIM AND I ARE GIVING AWAY THE FARM AND I WOULD ALSO ECHO WHAT DR. STOKES SAID THE BOARD ULTIMATELY, IN TERMS POSITIONS BEING ADDED WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT NEW POSITIONS, SO IF THERE WAS A DEPUTY CFO WE COMPLETED JUST HIRE SOMEBODY NOR THAT ROLEMENT THERE IS NO BOARD POSITION THAT EXISTS, THERE IS NO PAY SCHEDULE AND THAT'S WHAT PAYROLL USES AS AN INTERNAL CONTROL FOR HOW WE KNOW THAT WE ADD AND THE QUANTITY ARE THINGS THAT WE MONITOR SO IT REVEL DOES HAVE THAT MANY THERE BUT IT DOESN'T BEHOOVE US TO ADDS WHERE IT'S NOT NEEDED TO BE FOR MY REASON, BUT WE ARE MONITORING THAT AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT AT A GRANULAR LEVEL IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO MANAGE. SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT GLOBAL

[02:05:03]

LY. >>> SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT FOR THE MOST PART IT'S 65 LIKE A WASH, WHEN PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT SALARIES WILL GO UP AND DOWN BUT IT EVENS OUTS SO MAYBE IT'S THE

WORD EMERGENCY. >> MAYBE WE'LL GIVE ITS

[02:11:40]

HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT YET. >> WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT ONE JUST YET. SO, IF WE GET TO D11-05 NOW, THAT IS THE ONE POLICY THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING FOR BOARD ACTION. THIS WOULD BE A RETURN CHECK, SO IF YOU'LL RECALL, REVISED THIS TO PREVENT HSE TO PASS ON ANY NSF, NONSUFFICIENT FUND TO THE CHEC WRITER, AND OUR CURRENT POLICY LIMITS THE FEE TO $20, SO THAT WAS THE REVISION THAT WE MADE T THIS. SO, PRESENTING THIS AS A SECOND READ AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION , AND AS WELL AS THE POLICIES THAT WE RECOMMEND TO B RESCINDED. WHICH ARE G03.01 CERTIFIED -- QUALIFICATIONS O SUBSTITUTE STAFF, G04.05, SUPPORT STAFF DEVELOPMENT, AND THE TWO PREVIOUS THAT WE MENTIONED EARLIER, THE G02.16 AND G02.17 FIRST AID TRAINING

FOR COACHES. >> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CHRIS WHATEVER ATTORNEY OR LEGAL PROCESS WOULD BE. I'M OKAY WITH IT, BUT IF WE ARE TABLING ONE BUT RESCINDING THE OTHER, DOES THAT LEAVE US OPEN TO A LIABILITY THAT NOW WE DON'T HAV

A POLICY IN PLACE? >> I THINK IT'S A FAIR QUESTION NO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT DOES. SO, WHAT CAME AND THE TEAM HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IS COMBINING TH AED POLICY WITH THE CONCUSSION PROTOCOL. THERE ARE TWO STATE LAWS IN GENERAL THAT GOVERN OVERARCHING RESPONSIBILITIES FROM A CONCUSSION PROTOCOL AND AN AED PROTOCOL THAT ARE CURRENTLY EXISTING TODAY, BOTH OF THEM TALK ABOUT THE EDUCATIO THAT IS REQUIRED , WHAT STUDENT ATHLETES HAVE TO DO, WHAT COACHES HAVE TO DO IN VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE LIABILITIES, THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED TO THEM IF THEY FOLLOW THROUGH WITH POINT WHAT KIM WAS REFERENCING IN THE SENATE BILL TODAY, THAT PAST , EXPANDED UPO SOME OF THAT AUTHORITY WITH AED, AND SO BEFORE IT GETS IMPLEMENTED, WE WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE THE POLICY TO MAKE SURE THAT EXPANSION IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION HERE.

>> 216 AND 217, ARE WE RESENDING THOSE TODAY?

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD

>> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO WE ARE NOT RESENDING

THOSE TWO? >> I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

>> ARE WE OR ARE WE NOT? SINCE WE WERE TABLING J07.03, THAT W WERE NOT RESENDING THOSE TWO RIGHT NOW.

>> YEAH, THAT WAY WE CAN BRING IT ALL BACK.

>> THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING BECAUSE I HEARD WE WERE RESENDING ALL OF THEM, SO I JUS WANTED FOR CLARIFICATION THAT 216 AND 217 ARE STILL TABLED A SARAH WAS SAYING HERE BECAUSE WE ARE TABLING 703, SO WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THAT. DID SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION YET? NO? THEN I WOULD MOVE , LET'S SEE HOW WE WANT TO SAY IT, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE D11-05,

[02:15:08]

>> SECOND. >> FANTASTIC JOB. GOING TO CAL FOR A VOTE. BEN ORR? SARAH DONSBACH? SARAH PARKS-REESE? SUZANNE THOMAS? AND I AM A YES, IT PASSES 7-0 POINT ITEM 6.73, AUTHORIZED SIGNATURES HA BEEN TABLED.

>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY KNOWS THAT THIS ONE, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS FROM THE LAST BOARD MEETING, WAS OUT-OF-STATE, SO W RESCHEDULED OUR POLICY MEETING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT THE END OF MARCH FOR APRIL 19TH, THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING ME WAKE UP AT 2:30 IN THE MORNING LOCAL TIME TO ATTEND A POLICY MEETING BISON, SO WE'VE DECIDED TO TABLE THAT POLICY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET TO DISCUSS THE CHANGES THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE PRIOR TO THE BOARD MEETIN TONIGHT, SO THANK YOU TO THE BOARD FOR THAT UNDERSTANDING AN CONSIDERATION FOR ME.

>> PERFECT, THANK YOU. >> NEXT ITEM UP, 6.04, THE
