[1.01 Call to Order] [00:00:04] OKAY. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL TO ORDER OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED AUGUST FERNDALE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. WE JUST FINISHED UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REDISTRICTING AND SO WE ARE MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE STREAMING, WATCHING A RECORDING OF THIS LATER AND OR ARE IN THE AUDIENCE WITH US TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BIT OF AN ABBREVIATED MEETING BECAUSE ONLY TWO OF US, MELINDA AND I, WERE ABLE TO BE HERE IN PERSON. WE HAVE DIRECTORS, JESSIE AND PEGGY. ONE IS ON [INAUDIBLE] CELL PHONE, THE OTHER IS ON [INAUDIBLE] CELL PHONE. AND SO THEY ARE HERE SO THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM. BUT BECAUSE WE AREN'T HERE TO ACTUALLY DISCUSS THINGS LIVE, WE ARE GOING TO KIND OF HAVE STREAMLINED THE AGENDA PRIMARILY TO GET THE THINGS DONE THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE DONE THIS MONTH SO THAT WE COULD TAKE CARE OF IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE PAYROLL, ETC.. SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, I WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK THAT EVERYONE PLEASE JOIN ME AS WE START THE MEETING WITH THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. OKAY. NEXT, WE HAVE THE RECITATION OF THE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. AND FOR THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO [INAUDIBLE]. WE, THE FERNDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT, ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE RESIDING ON THE TRADITIONAL, ANCESTRAL AND UNCHARTED TERRITORY OF THE LUMMI PEOPLE. THE LUMMI PEOPLE ARE THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF WASHINGTON'S NORTHERNMOST COAST AND SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA. THEY LIVED IN VILLAGES THROUGHOUT THIS TERRITORY AND CONTINUE TO HAVE AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE AREAS. SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL THEY HAVE CELEBRATED LIFE ON THEIR WATERY WATERWAYS AND ON TRADITIONAL, ANCESTRAL AND UNCEDED LANDS OF THEIR PEOPLE TO PERPETUATE THEIR WAY OF LIFE. WE HONOR THEIR ANCESTORS AS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE LUMMI PEOPLE AS THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS. THANK YOU. OKAY. [2. ADOPTION OF AGENDA [GC-4.7]] THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 2.01 OF OUR MEETING, WHICH IS THE ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA. AND SO AT THIS TIME, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA OR ANY CHANGES TO. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE MEETING AGENDA AS WRITTEN. IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO ADOPT THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. OKAY MOTION CARRIES AND WE WILL PROCEED ON WITH THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED. [3. PUBLIC COMMENT [GC-3.3]] FIRST ITEM THEN IS ITEM 3.01, WHICH IS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THOSE THAT HAVE WATCHED THESE MEETINGS BEFORE. THEY'VE HEARD MY SPIEL. BUT ESSENTIALLY PUBLIC COMMENT IS A TIME FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE US THEIR INPUT ON ITEMS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT IS A TIME WHEN WE LISTEN. WE DON'T NECESSARILY RESPOND UNLESS WE NEED CLARIFICATION. IN ORDER TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT OR TO PARTICIPATE. WE DO NEED TO HAVE YOU SIGNED IN AND YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES. KELLY IS TYPICALLY MY TIMEKEEPER. SHE'S GIVING ME THE THUMBS UP A BIT THERE. AND THEN YOU CAN COME UP TO THE PODIUM, USE THE MIC AND SHARE WITH US. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WOULD RATHER SHARE IN A NON PUBLIC MANNER, AS FAR AS IS OUR CONTACT INFORMATION, BOTH PHONE NUMBERS, EMAILS, ETC. ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AND SO YOU CAN CONTACT US THAT WAY AS WELL. SO FIRST PERSON TO COMMENT TONIGHT OR THE FIRST PERSON THAT WE HAVE IS IS NATALIE CHAVEZ. AND SO NATALIE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO PUBLIC COMMENTS THIS EVENING. AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF FDA DOCUMENTS REGARDING PFIZER'S EXPERIMENTAL COVID VACCINE HAVE BEEN RELEASED IN BATCHES MONTHLY FOLLOWING A [INAUDIBLE] REQUEST AND LAWSUIT IN 2021 THAT WAS MADE BY PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS FOR TRANSPARENCY. [00:05:03] AND AS I STATED A FEW TIMES IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS, THESE RELEASED COURT ORDER DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO ACCESS AT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS FOR TRANSPARENCY WEBSITE AT PHMPT.ORG AGAIN THAT IS P H M P T DOT ORG. I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL, INCLUDING THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT, COPIES OF SOME OF THESE RELEASED COURT ORDER DOCUMENTS AT PREVIOUS SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, ONE OF WHICH WAS THIS NINE PAGE DOCUMENT TITLED APPENDIX ONE LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST. MUCH OF PFIZER'S RELEASED TRIAL DATA AND DOCUMENTS ARE HORRIFYING. IT'S NO WONDER THAT THE FDA FOUGHT HARD IN COURT TO NOT HAVE THESE PFIZER DOCUMENTS RELEASED UNTIL 75 YEARS FROM NOW. AND FORMER PFIZER TRIAL COORDINATOR AND NOW WHISTLEBLOWER BROOKE JACKSON'S ALLEGATIONS ARE CREDIBLE AND DAMNING. VACCINE PROPONENTS HAVE BEEN ENTRENCHED IN THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FALSE NARRATIVE, FALSE AND DECEPTIVE NARRATIVE FOR AROUND TWO YEARS NOW. WE COULDN'T MAKE THIS UP AS WE TRY IT. IT'S PURE EVIL. IT IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE, MASSIVE HUMAN PHARMACEUTICAL EXPERIMENT THAT WE HAVE WITNESSED IN OUR LIFETIMES. AND IT IS FAR FROM OVER. THOSE OF US WHO WERE INITIALLY SKEPTICAL, SKEPTICAL AND WHO REMAIN SKEPTICAL OF THE EXPERIMENTAL COVID 19 VACCINES HAVE BEEN PROVEN CORRECT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND THIS WILL CONTINUE AS MORE INFORMATION IS RELEASED. THERE ARE SO MANY COVID RELATED LAWSUITS IN OUR COUNTRY AND OUR STATE THAT I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM ALL. I'M HAVING. I'M HOPING THAT A WEBSITE CONSISTING OF ALL COVID RELATED LAWSUITS IN THE UNITED STATES WILL BE UP AND RUNNING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SUCH A WEBSITE WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR TRANSPARENCY AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ELECTED OFFICIALS, FDA, CDC AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN INTENTIONALLY IGNORING AND OR HIDING. IT'S CLEAR FOR SOME OF US TO SEE HOW THE FDA, CDCS DOUBLE STANDARDS TO HIDE A CLEAR DANGER SIGNALS COMING FROM THEIR ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING SYSTEMS WHILE EXAGGERATING THE RISK OF COVID 19 AND SUPPRESSING THE EFFECT OF COVID 19. PROTOCOLS, TREATMENT PROTOCOLS. PFIZER'S COURT ORDERED RELEASE DATA REVEALS THAT THE MISCARRIAGE RATE AMONG WOMEN WHOSE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES WERE KNOWN WAS 87.5%. AND THE TRUE RATE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER, AS PFIZER DID NOT RECORD OR REPORT PREGNANCY OUTCOMES FOR 238 OF THE 274 WOMEN KNOWN TO BE PREGNANT DURING THE TRIAL. PFIZER'S CLINICAL TRIAL, DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MOST LIKELY ON PURPOSE TO MAKE HAZARDS MORE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION TO MISCARRIAGES, ABRUPTLY PLUMMETING BIRTH RATES WORLDWIDE ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE EXPERIMENTAL COVID VACCINES ARE HAVING AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON FERTILITY AS WELL. I HOPE THAT YOU KEEP ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE PRESSURED BY THE WHATCOM COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO GET THE EXPERIMENTAL COVID VACCINES AND BOOSTERS THIS FALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, NATALIE. SO NEXT WE HAVE DON [INAUDIBLE]. GOOD EVENING. BEFORE I START, I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MY COMMENT WILL BE A JOINT EFFORT WITH WITH SUSAN PROSSER. AND SO SHE'S GOING TO PRESENT ROUGHLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE REMARKS. AS THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR IS APPROACHING, IT'S AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO EXAMINE A COUPLE OF RECENT REVELATIONS RELATING TO THE DRUMMED UP PROPAGANDA FEAR PRECEDING THE SCHOOL SHUTDOWNS AND THE MASK MANDATES THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED NATIONWIDE IN EARLY 2020. FIRST, ON AUGUST 22ND, A 2004 C-SPAN INTERVIEW OF ANTHONY FAUCI WENT VIRAL AS HE WAS SEEN PRAISING NATURAL IMMUNITY. WHEN ASKED BY THE ANCHOR IF A WOMAN WHO HAS HAD THE FLU FOR TWO WEEKS SHOULD GET A FLU SHOT, FAUCI REPLIED, WELL, NO. IF SHE GOT THE FLU FOR 14 DAYS, SHE'S AS PROTECTED AS ANYBODY CAN BE BECAUSE THE BEST VACCINATION IS TO GET INFECTED YOURSELF. SHE DOESN'T NEED IT BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST POTENT VACCINATION IS GETTING INFECTED YOURSELF. SO DID HE LIE BACK THEN ABOUT THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF NATURAL IMMUNITY, OR HAS HE BEEN LYING IN THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS WHEN FORCEFULLY ADVOCATING FOR FULL VACCINATION ON EVERY AMERICAN AND DOWNPLAYING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NATURAL IMMUNITY? [00:10:11] THAT'S THE FIRST HALF OF MY REMARKS. THANK YOU, DON. AND NEXT IS SUSAN PROSSER. AND MY NAME IS SUSAN [INAUDIBLE], AND I THANK YOU FOR TAKING PUBLIC COMMENTS. THE SECOND REVELATION CONCERNS DR. LEANA WEN, A CNN MEDICAL ANALYST WHO ADVOCATED AN IRON FIST MASKING POLICY, NOW ADMITS THAT IT HARMED HER OWN SON'S DEVELOPMENT. IN 2020 AND 2021 SHE SUPPORTED A RADICAL POLICY TO FURTHER RESTRICT THE ACTIVITIES OF THE UNVACCINATED BECAUSE WE CAN'T TRUST THEM. SHE EVEN SUGGESTED MAKING IT HARD FOR PEOPLE TO REMAIN UNVACCINATED, CLAIMING THAT THE RESTRICTIONS BACK THEN WEREN'T TOUGH ENOUGH . FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN SHE BELIEVED THAT THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO WEAR INDUSTRIAL GRADE FACE MASKS AND SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO WEEKLY COVID TESTS UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY VACCINATED. NOW SHE ACKNOWLEDGES THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE MASK MANDATES IN TERMS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON CHILDREN. DR. WEN STATED MASKING HAS HARMED OUR SON'S LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AND LIMITING BOTH KIDS, EXTRACURRICULAR AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS WITH NEGATIVELY AFFECT THEIR CHILDHOOD AND HINDER THEIR ABILITY TO WORK. HER JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REVERSAL OF HER STANCE IS THAT THE SCIENCE HAS CHANGED, BUT IN REALITY IT'S THE POLITICAL WIND THAT HAS CHANGED DIRECTION, NOT SCIENCE. LISTENING TO THE FLIP FLOPS OF THESE TWO PROMINENT FIGURES, YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT THEY WERE MAKING DRASTIC AND DRACONIAN RECOMMENDATION BASED ON POLITICAL SCIENCE, NOT MEDICAL SCIENCE. IN THE CASE OF LEANA WEN, SHE COULD NOT HAVE CHANGED HER FASCIST LIKE STANCE ON COVID POLICY HAD SHE NOT HAD A CHILD TO WITNESS THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR HERSELF. IN CONCLUSION, I BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO DOCTORS ARE EXPERTS OF FEAR, PROPAGANDA AND LYING, AND THEY DO NOT REPRESENT SCIENCE AS THEY CLAIM. NOW SHOULD BE OUR CHOICE WHAT WE DO. THESE MEDICAL DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE AND THE EVIDENCE THAT'S COMING OUT, I SUGGEST THAT YOU STRONGLY READ THOSE AND THINK ABOUT THOSE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, BECAUSE PROBABLY THEY'RE GOING TO GET TOUGH FISTED AND TRY TO MAKE US DO THINGS AGAIN. AND WE EXPECT YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO THINK PAST THAT AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT. WE DO HAVE THE CONSTITUTION AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS AND ALL OF THAT THAT I HOPE YOU'LL CONSIDER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SUSAN. SO NEXT TONIGHT, WE HAVE MATT BECK. YOU KNOW, I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO BE HERE, BUT I RUN INTO SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY AND THEY SAY, HAVE YOU SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD? YOU KNOW, YOU TALK TO DR. DOMINGUEZ ABOUT IT. AND DR. DOMINGUEZ, EVERYBODY I TALK TO HAS A RAVING REVIEW, RAVING COMMENTS ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE ONE THAT IS SOMEBODY VERY, VERY WELL RESPECTED IN THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY. AND I JUST HOPE THAT THIS DOESN'T BECOME THE 100 YEAR OLD CURRENT STANDARDIZED MODEL VERSUS, YOU KNOW, THE 21ST CENTURY PERSONALIZED MODEL. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT OUR INTENTION HERE I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS A BOOK. I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE SHARED THIS WITH ME, [INAUDIBLE] JOHN MERRILL, AN AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST FOR 36 YEARS. HE WAS A TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM FOR FIVE YEARS AND HE WAS WITH PBS. AND ON THIS HANDOUT, I HAVE AN AREA WHERE HE'S INTERVIEWED WITH THE NEA PRESIDENT. AND THE NEA PRESIDENT'S QUOTE ON THE BACK OF THIS BOOK IS, FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS THE COURAGE TO BAR THE DOOR, STARE THEM DOWN AND DO AN INTERVENTION ON A STUMBLING SCHOOL REFORMER STILL CLINGING TO [INAUDIBLE] TO PRIVATIZE, STANDARDIZE AND PROFESSIONALIZE IT. JOHN MERRILL WOULD USE THE DESTRUCTIVE TRUTH BEHIND THE TOXIC REFORMS. SO I TALKED ABOUT THE 1983 STUDY THAT LAUNCHED THIS ALL REFORM EFFORT, TALKED ABOUT IN 2013, 28 MAJOR STAKEHOLDERS WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO REFORM THE [00:15:01] SYSTEM. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE IT. AFTER A COUPLE OF MEETINGS, THEY THOUGHT, WE DON'T NEED TO REFORM, WE NEED TO TRANSFORM. AND JUST A COUPLE EXCERPTS FROM THIS BOOK. IT SAYS THE PROCESS OF SCHOOL REFORM IS UNQUESTIONABLY ADDICTIVE. ITS GOALS, SUCH AS IMPROVING GRADUATION RATES, CREATING PRESCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAISING ACADEMIC STANDARDS, ALWAYS FEEL GOOD AND SOUND RIGHT. MOREOVER, EACH REFORM IS A NARROW ENOUGH TO BE SEEN AS ACHIEVABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. FOR THESE REASONS, THE HYPER FOCUS REFORMERS, MOST OF WHOM WERE IN OUR PRIVILEGED WHITE AND UPPER MIDDLE CLASS, FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THE WORK THEY'RE COMMITTED TO. LIKE DRUG ADDICTS, THEY GET HIGH ON THE WORK, THEIR APPARENT SUCCESS AND THE ADULATION FROM THE MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC. UNFORTUNATELY, AS WITH DRUG ADDICTS AND THE HIGH IS TEMPORARILY LASTING ONLY UNTIL REALITY INTERVENES AND IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. SO MY THINKING IS, TEN YEARS FROM NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMATIC EDUCATION THAT WE DON'T TRANSFORM FROM A STANDARDIZED MODEL THAT WAS DESIGNED OVER 100 YEARS AGO THAT SORTS KIDS BY AGE, TEACHERS IN THE SAME AGE, AT THE SAME PACE, AT THE SAME TIME, TO A PERSONALIZED MODEL THAT FEEDS ON THE CHILD STRENGTH, INTERESTS AND PASSIONS. AND I'M REALLY CONFIDENT THAT JOHN DOMINGUEZ AND OUR SCHOOL BOARD IS GOING TO LOOK OVER THIS AND HOPEFULLY WORK TOWARDS DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU, GUYS. OKAY. SO THAT BRINGS ME TO THE END OF THE LIST. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE THAT WAS HOPING TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT. [4. MATTERS RESERVED FOR BOARD ACTION] AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 4.01, WHICH IS THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 18 -2022, THE REDISTRICTING DIRECTORY DISTRICTS. AND SO WE HAD THE HEARING, THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMENT ON THAT EARLIER. AT THIS POINT, IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION AND OR THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT BEFORE MAKING A MOTION. I ENCOURAGE ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY WHO'S EVER BEEN INTERESTED IN BEING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD TO LOOK AT THOSE MAPS AND KNOW WHAT DISTRICTS YOU LIVE IN. SO WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD, YOU CAN DO SO. DEFINITELY SO. AND AGAIN, JUST FOR SOME EXPLANATION, FOR THOSE THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH IT, THE EACH OF THE FIVE DIRECTOR SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED FROM THOSE DISTRICTS. SO THEY'VE GOT SOMEBODY GEOGRAPHICALLY FROM EACH AREA, BUT THE WHOLE DISTRICT DOES VOTE ON ALL FIVE DIRECTORS. AND EACH TIME THERE'S A CENSUS, WE'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO ADJUST, TWEAK AND AND MAKE CHANGES WITH THEM. SO THAT'S WHAT WAS DONE. AND AGAIN, FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED, THOSE DIAGRAMS AND THE CHANGES ARE DOCUMENTED ON BOARD DOCS. AND IF YOU'RE UNFAMILIAR WITH HOW TO GET THERE, TALK TO ANY ONE OF US AND WE CAN HELP. SO. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 18-2022. REDISTRICTING DIRECTOR DISTRICTS. IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 18-2022 FOR REDISTRICTING OF DIRECTOR DISTRICTS ATTACHED TO BE PART OF THE MINUTES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. OH, SORRY, SORRY. BEFORE WE VOTE. IT'S NOT ATTACHED, IS IT? NOT ATTACHED? IT WAS ATTACHED IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING, BUT IT'S NOT ATTACHED HERE. AND IT IS ATTACHED. IT IS ATTACHED TO ALL THE RESOLUTION SAYS ATTACHED ON THE. I LOOKED AT IT ON THE OTHER. SO IT IS ATTACHED ON OUR SPECIAL MEETING. OKAY. SO ALL IN FAVOR OF VOTING OR ADOPTING THOSE AS ATTACHED TO THE SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA SAY AYE, AYE. OKAY, SO RESOLUTION IS APPROVED THAT THEN MOVES US ON TO ITEM 5.01, WHICH IS A REPORT ON THE [5. FOCUS ON DISTRICT OPERATIONS] [00:20:01] CAPITAL PROJECTS BOND. AND FOR THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MARK. SO THE BIG NEWS WAS THAT YOU'RE AWARE THE GYM IS OPENING THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL, SO EVERYBODY'S PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I THINK IT SEEMS LIKE IT FEEDBACK HAS BEEN PRETTY POSITIVE. CORNERSTONE AND CSG AND [INAUDIBLE] DID A PRETTY PHENOMENAL JOB GETTING US HERE CONSIDERING THE THE BULK OF THE ISSUES THIS WINTER WITH THE WEATHER DELAYS IMPACTED THE GYM OPENING. SO IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD PUSH ON THEIR PART TO MAKE SURE WE WERE OPEN ABLE TO OPEN FOR THE FOR THE START OF SCHOOL WHICH IS PRETTY GREAT. SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. LESS THAN GREAT NEWS AT SKYLINE. WE'RE DOING A FLOORING REPLACEMENT PROJECT, WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE BOND, BUT IT JUST SO EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF IT. WE HAD SOME OH, SORRY. I CAN'T TELL YOU. NO SURPRISES. SO IT'S AT CENTRAL. SO THEY GOT THE BULK OF THE CLASSROOMS DONE, THE HALLWAYS DONE. THEY'VE GOT SOME STAIR AREAS TO FINISH. SO IT DOESN'T LOOK THE BEST, BUT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS. IT'S SAFE. AND WITH THAT TAKEN CARE OF HERE IN SHORT ORDER, IT WAS A SUPPLIER ISSUE. THEY HAVE STAFFING PROBLEMS AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, WHICH WE'RE HEARING A LOT LATELY. AND IT KIND OF MAKES US A LITTLE APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT THEY'RE HAVING TO DO IN HIGH SCHOOL TO GET THEM GET THAT PROJECT ON TIME. SO. ANY QUESTIONS FROM OUR. YEAH, I'VE GOT ONE. DO WE KNOW WHEN THE VOLLEYBALL THAT HOLES ARE GOING TO BE DRILLED INTO THE BOARD? I DO NOT. BUT I CAN ASK TOMORROW. YEAH, I BELIEVE WE'RE WAITING FOR THE THE POLES ARE ACTUALLY ON THE TRUCK SOMEWHERE, SO WE'RE WAITING FOR THOSE TO GET HERE. WE HAVE SUPPLY ISSUES. YEAH. SUPPLY ISSUE. SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES SEEM TO BE A COMMON THREAD THROUGHOUT MANY INDUSTRY. IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING THIS MORNING THAT THE TEACHER KICK OFF WATCHING ALL THE TEACHERS POP IN THERE AND YOU COULD TELL WHO MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN THINGS JUST EYES OPEN WIDE. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST REALLY AMAZING TO SEE THAT FACILITY. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMMUNITY GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE FUN TO WATCH GAMES AND SPORTING EVENTS IN THERE THIS YEAR. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE PART THAT A LOT OF US HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SEEING THE REST OF THE SCHOOL AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING MORE IMPRESSIVE. SO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO GOOD THINGS. AND IF YOU AREN'T SUBSCRIBING TO THE BOND UPDATES, YOU CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THOSE ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE AS WELL AS SUBSCRIBING. SO YOU GET THEM IN YOUR INBOX EVERY WEEK AND THEY INCLUDE PICTURES AND A REAL GOOD PROGRESSION. SO PLUS THE FINANCIAL REPORT, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED ON HOW THE DISTRICT IS HOLDING UP OUR FINANCIAL END OF THE BARGAIN, WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB THAT WAY TOO. I'M HAPPY TO SAY BIG THINGS TO THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. SO IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MARK, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 6.01, WHICH IS TO RECEIVE THE MONITORING REPORT FOR RESULTS POLICY [6. FOCUS ON STUDENTS] 2.2, WHICH IS MATHEMATICS AND. SO ANYTHING THAT YOU, FEY OR KELLY, HAVE TO TELL US. IT'S. AND IT IS CONNECTED ON BOARD DOCS. AND WE WILL BE WE WERE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT OUR PROCESS OF EVALUATING THESE REPORTS A LITTLE BIT IN THIS MEETING. BUT WITH STEVE UNABLE TO BE HERE AND WITH JESSIE AND PEGGY ON SPEAKERPHONE, SO IT'S A LITTLE HARDER, WE'LL SAVE THAT DISCUSSION FOR POTENTIALLY A SPECIAL MEETING OR ANYTHING AS WE REORGANIZE OR FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT. [7. SHARING [GC-7.E.]] SO THAT THEN TAKES US ON TO ITEM SEVEN, WHICH IS SHARING. AND WE'LL START WITH OUR STUDENTS AND WHO KNOWS WITH SCHOOL STARTING THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. [INAUDIBLE] [00:25:05] AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE AND I THINK I WAS POSTING THIS TOO, THAT YOU SHOULDN'T, YOU SHOULDN'T. BUT IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO MAKE YOUR OWN SYSTEM. NOT STRESSING ABOUT ANYTHING. YOU DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE FOR YOU PERSONALLY. AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE EXCLUSIVELY WRITES IN PEN THAT SHE NEVER WRITES IN PENCIL. AND IT'S THE IT'S BECAUSE IS IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THAT FEELING OF [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH, THIS IS A THING. AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A THING. [INAUDIBLE] AND SO SHE WAS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME TO BUY PENS. [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] SO I HAD TO WE HAD TO DRIVE TO OFFICEMAX AND GET PENCILS. AND I SHOULD HAVE JUST GONE TO OFFICEMAX IN THE FIRST PLACE. [INAUDIBLE] WHICH WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. [INAUDIBLE] BUT I FOR ONCE, REALLY LOVE MY SCHEDULE. LIKE I HAVE TO MEET WITH MY COUNSELOR AND BOTH HIM AND I WERE LIKE CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT IT AND HE WAS WILLING TO MEET SOME OF MY NEEDS AND MAKE IT SO THAT I HAD ALL MY CREDITS AND THEN ALSO MAKE IT SO THAT I ALSO ENJOYED MY SCHEDULE WAS AMAZING. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS YEAR AND I FEEL LIKE GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN [INAUDIBLE]. DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE STUDENTS WHEN THEY SAW THE GYM AND EVERYTHING? WELL, THE GYM ITSELF LIKE, WE COULD TELL HOW SCRIPTED IT WAS. I WAS LIKE, THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF IT, THOUGH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO, THEY LOVE IT, THE BATHROOMS. THEY LOVE THE BATHROOM. THEY LOOK REALLY NICE. AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LIKE THE BATHROOM'S IMPORTANT PLACE. OKAY. SO THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO DIRECTOR THE BOARD MEMBER [INAUDIBLE]. AND SO, PEGGY, ANYTHING OVER THERE? JESSIE. ANYTHING TO SHARE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE FOR AN UPDATE? OH, GOOD. THANK YOU, MELINDA. I DO. FIRST, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT PENS. THERE WAS A CERTAIN ONE I USED IN COLLEGE, AND I DIDN'T USE ANY OTHER PEN THE ENTIRE TIME. IT WAS THE SECRET TO SUCCESS. SO I'M WITH YOU ON PENS. AS FAR AS SCHOOL, STARTING TOMORROW. I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR SCHOOL STARTING. I LIVE VERY CLOSE TO CASCADIA AND I CAN SEE CASCADIA OUT MY OFFICE WINDOW AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON I CAN HAVE A HIGH FIVE DURING PICKUP. SO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING NOT JUST BELLS RINGING AND MAYBE SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE [INAUDIBLE] STAFF, PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE OR WHAT HAVE YOU BUT ACTUAL KIDS AGAIN SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. SO I HAVE NOTHING. SO THAT TAKES US TO [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH, I JUST. I WANT TO GIVE AN INCREDIBLE SHOUT OUT TO OUR STAFF WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING HOURS AND HOURS. I DON'T. I HOPE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH GOES INTO THE OPENING OF SCHOOL. IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN THE NUMBER OF HOURS TEACHERS PUT IN TO SET UP THEIR ROOMS THINKING ABOUT THEIR FUTURE STUDENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. BUS DRIVERS, RIDING ROUTES, TRANSPORTATION PIECES. IF YOU DRIVE BY ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS, YOU WILL NOTICE INCREDIBLY MANICURED LAWNS AND BUSHES. IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND A SHOUT OUT TO OUR STUDENTS TODAY AND OUR KICK OFF. THEY SET THE TONE FOR SCHOOL SPIRIT AND [INAUDIBLE]. [00:30:03] I ALSO JUST WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING. WE, THE DOMINGUEZ FAMILY, WILL OFFICIALLY BE FERNDALE RESIDENTS COME MID-OCTOBER. SO WE BOUGHT A HOUSE AND WE'RE GETTING TO MOVE IN. I THINK IT CLOSES ON MY BIRTHDAY [INAUDIBLE]. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAN THE MOVING PARTY, THE HOUSE WARMING AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS. I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO INVITE US ALL TO A BARBECUE. [INAUDIBLE] OKAY. SO THEN THAT TAKES US ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDAS WHICH WE HAVE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD CONSENT AGENDA THE CONSENT [8. SUPERINTENDENT CONSENT AGENDA [GC-2.4]] [9. BOARD CONSENT AGENDA [GC-2.4]] AGENDAS ARE A GROUP OF ITEMS THAT THE BOARD HAS HAD ACCESS TO. THESE ARE ROUTINE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS IF WE HAVE HAD THOSE AND TO GET INFORMATION AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO PASS THESE OR TO IMPROVE THESE ALL IN ONE FELL SWOOP AS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUALLY. AND SO AT THIS POINT, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR ANY COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT CONSENT AGENDA AND THE BOARD CONSENT AGENDA AS ATTACHED HERETO AND BE APART OF THE MINUTES. OK IT HAS BEEN MOVED THAT WE APPROVED THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD CONSENT AGENDAS AS ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE PART OF THE MINUTES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. OK CONSENT AGENDAS THEN ARE BOTH APPROVED. SO THAT THEN TAKES US TO THE END OF OUR MEETING. AND WITH THAT, UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, I WILL DECLARE US ADJOURNED. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. AND FOR THOSE, FOR AS FAR AS DIRECTOR WISE AND BOARD MEMBER WISE, WE WILL BE IN CONTACT TO GET THINGS SCHEDULED TO DETERMINE KIND OF A CATCH UP TIME AND THE REPORTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER AND DISCUSS. [INAUDIBLE] I THINK WHAT WE WILL DO IS WE'LL PEGGY, WE'LL CHECK WITH JESSIE AND POTENTIALLY JUST MOVE HER OVER TO THE AUDIT. AND THAT WAY THEN WE CAN USE HER STAMP AND THAT'LL [INAUDIBLE]. YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
