AND CYNTHIA ROCHAT. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

AND I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT ABOUT HOW THE SCHOOLS ARE BEING RANKED BY D.E.A. AND I READ THIS TWO WEEKS AGO THIS HAS TO DO THE CHILDREN AT RISK WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE APEX.

THIS IS A PRIVATE NONPROFIT. ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION, I'M TALKED ABOUT THE AT RISK PREGNANCY ISSUE, INDEPENDENT ANNUAL MEETINGS AS TOLD TO GIVE PARENTS AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE FOR EDUCATION, EQUITY, AND THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. HOLD THE STATE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD. THAT T E A AND ADVOCATE LOOKING

[00:05:05]

THIS IS NOT SPEAKER IS EITHER AN ACHIEVEMENT OR PROGRESS HOW DO YOU CUT OUT ON SOMETHING, SOMETHING OUT THAT'S AN ACHIEVEMENT. MOST IMPORTANT THING IS CUT OUT.

AND YOU SHOULD TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS ELIZALDE GET THE PARENTS AND BE WHO ARE. NOW ALSO, WITH THE STUDENT WHO GOT MILITARY READINESS WITH THIS MILITARY HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? DOES THAT MEAN YOU HAVE YET AN A FOR THAT. HOWEVER, RAYS.

WHICH IS THE WORST IN THE COUNTRY.

BUT IT'S I SAID YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WORST GRADUATION RATES IN THE COUNTRY NOW. ALSO THAT GETS ME IS HOW YOU RENT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS LIKE THAT IF YOU MAKE THEM PUBLIC TO POVERTY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.

YOU JUST SO WHEN A STUDENT IF YOU HAVE TO COMPETE AGAINST EVERYBODY, WHICH IS SITTING THERE, JUST CHILLING BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HELP WITH THAT PROBLEM IS WITH THE GRADING. YOU GOT TO DO THAT.

IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, THE PARENTS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT AND THEY MIGHT GET MAD ABOUT IT. NO, YOU'RE DOING GOOD IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THAT'S FINE TO SAY IS YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME ABOUT THOSE 14 F'S. WHY ISN'T IT DON'T TELL ME ABOUT THAT OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. OR THE CERTAINTIES STUDENT START TEST. BUT THEY GOT THE 30 D'S OVER ON CHILDREN AT RISK BECAUSE YOU GOT LOOK AT ME AND WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. THEY GIVE THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. SO WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND? THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING GOOD IN HIGH SCHOOL. PLUS, U.S. NEWS WORLD REPORT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND BEING VERY GOOD FOR THEM AT THE TOP OF WELCOME BACK. GUESS WHAT.

-- THEY HAD A'S. U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT PUT THEM ALL DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WITH COLLEGE READINESS.

OF ALL THAT 40 TO HIGH SCHOOLS, CARTER AND -- WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF COLLEGE READINESS. I WILL SHOW IT TO YOU.

I WILL SHOW IT TO YOU THAT WAY YOU'LL TRUST WHAT I'M SAYING.

THAT THIS IS JUST A COVER UP BECAUSE I'M GETTING YOU ALL THIS INFORMATION. BUT YOU HAVEN'T SAID ONE WORD.

>> THANK YOU. FOLLOWED BY CYNTHIA ROGER AND MARGIE JOHNSON. RAYS.

>> HI. AS I'VE SEEN SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. BE LABELED AS PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF BEING GIVEN THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.

>> SOMETHING GOES WRONG, FAMILIES DESERVE ANSWERS, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. NOT CLEAR.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND INSTITUTIONAL BIAS, BUT WE NEED TO EXAMINE THE DATA WHICH STUDENTS ARE BEING DISCIPLINED.

TWO FROM CLASSROOMS OR REFERRED TO POLICE.

THAT PATTERN THAT'S WHAT THE PATTERN SORRY.

WHAT PATTERNS EMERGE WHEN WE LOOK AT RACE COMMITTEE LANGUAGE, AND THE CAMPUS. OF ARE COINCIDENCES BEGIN WITH THE -- AND WHEN ADMINISTRATORS IN THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT, WE MUST BE -- WE MUST LOOK AT IT -- OH MY GOODNESS, I'M SO SORRY. THAT MUST BE A WAY TO REVIEW WHAT HAPPENED WITHOUT RELYING SOLELY ON THE SAME INTUITIONAL -- INSTITUTION WHOSE ACTIONS ARE BEING QUESTIONED.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SCHOOL POLICING, AND EXCESSIVE FORCE AND THE RIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN.

WE CANNOT KEEP TALKING ABOUT PROTECTING STUDENTS WITHOUT EXAMINING THE SYSTEMS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY.

WE'VE SEEN THESE PATTERNS DATING BACK TO WHEN I WAS A CHILD.

AND WE'RE STILL HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATIONS AT SOME POINT, WE HAVE TO STOP NORMALIZING THE CYCLE INSTRUCTOR MANY, MANY FOLD CHANGE LIKE A CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SACRIFICE THEIR RIGHTS TO RECEIVE AN EDUCATION, PARENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECOME INVESTIGATORS, THEY GO PROFESSIONALS, JUST TO GET ACCOUNTABILITY. INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT MUST BE GIVEN. FAMILIES ARE TIRED OF HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE EFFING PROCESS AND JUST BE REROUTED EVERY TIME.

THEIR PATTERNS AND WE JUST NEED THE DATA SO THAT WE CAN HAVE AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE OR A BOARD TO REVIEW THESE COMPLAINTS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO POLICE YOURSELVES.

ACCOUNTABILITY SHOULD NEVER BE A PRIVILEGE RESERVED FOR THE PARENTS WHO KNOW THAT RIGHT PEOPLE, UNDERSTAND THE PROCESSES OR KNOW WHICH AGENCY TO CALL. FAMILIES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO

DISTRICT THREE IS THE PLACE TO BE.

I GOT TO REMEMBER THAT FIRST TIME I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I AM WEARING THE EDWARD FLORES CENTRIC NORTH DAN HERE I'M WEARING A PROUDLY. BEFORE I GIVE MY REPORT IF I MIGHT JUST SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT NANCY BINGHAM.

I HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF SERVING WITH HER FOR FOUR YEARS AND I WAS LOOKING THROUGH MY MESSAGES AFTER I -- MY PHONE MESSAGES AND THROUGH THE TEXT MESSAGES.

AFTER I HEARD NANCY BEST AND IT WEREN'T THAT MANY, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU AND I REGRET I DID NOT KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HER AS MUCH AS I SHOULD HAVE. BUT I DID FIND ONE OF THE TEXT MESSAGES IT WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE CEREMONY WE HAD FOR HER. WHEN SHE LEFT THE BOARD AND I ACTUALLY WAS THE EMCEE OF THAT PRESENTATION AND I SAID THAT I PREPARED THAT REMARKS AND SAID A FEW WORDS AND SHE SAID SHE WAS QUITE MOVED BY THEM. AND SHE THANKED ME FOR REMINDING HER AND EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE OVER THAT TIME.

AND SHE TALKED ABOUT THE DAY TO DAY STRESS SOMETIMES IT MAKES YOU FORGET WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING BECAUSE DURING THERE.

OF TIME THAT SHE SERVED IT WAS EXTREMELY TRYING THOSE OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT DISTRICT WAS IN ABSOLUTE MESS WITH AUDIT FINDINGS UP AS MANY AS 46 AND ONE OF THOSE YEARS.

WHEN SHE SERVED AND IT GOT BETTER FROM IT GOT TWO TWIN ANOTHER YEAR AFTER THAT. THAT DISTRICT WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE E-RATE FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATION AND THEN THERE WERE ALSO SOME LAYOFFS BECAUSE THE DISTRICT DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IT HAD AND IT OVERHIRED FOR THE SHE HELPED GET US ON THE RIGHT PATH AND FOR TODAY, AND ALMOST A DECADE, WE'VE HAD ZERO AUDIT FINDINGS.

WERE ABLE TO ACCESS ALL OF OUR INFANCY MONEY AND WE HAVE SO CONTROLS IN ALL OF THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF NANCY DILIGENCE AND QUESTIONING. AND OF COURSE, NANCY IS THERE FOR MANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE OVER THE LAST 1520 YEARS, INCLUDING PRE-K, OUR FIRST PRE-K PROGRAM WAS REALLY JUST FUNDING FOR ALL THAT TO DAY WHEN THE STAY PLAYED FOR HALF, AND IT WAS DONE DURING PERIOD TIME WHEN WE WERE PRETTY MUCH FINANCIALLY STRAPPED AS A RESULT OF THE 2011, 2012 BUDGET CUTS AT THAT TIME. BUT THAT WAS REALLY JUST A FOUR TO LAUNCH THE PRE-K INITIATIVE AND SHE WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THAT. SHE SUPPORTED A NUMBER OF OTHER HOUSES FOR THE, SHE SUPPORTED ACE PROGRAM.

SHE SUPPORTED THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING POLICIES THAT WE HAD. SHE WAS ACTUALLY THE TRUSTEE IN THE DISTRICT THAT LAUNCHED THE FIRST PIECE OF CITY COLLEGE PROGRAM AT. SHE WAS A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE TOURIST CENTERS AND A PLACE TO EXPAND THOSE, SHE SUPPORTED ALL MOM. PROGRAMS AND CAN'T PAY FOR THEM.

SHE ON AND SHE WAS SHE WAS ALSO OPPOSED TO THAT.

[00:30:06]

SHE SPOKE OUT AGAINST VOUCHERS. SHE WORKED REALLY HARD, SHE WAS NO NONSENSE, NO DRAMA. SHE DIDN'T GET IN THE NEWS.

VERY OFTEN. BUT SHE WAS A VERY STRONG INFLUENCE IN TERMS OF TRYING TO GET POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT WOULD HELP KIDS. I'M REALLY SADDENED BY HER LOSS AND BY THE FACT THAT I DID NOT STAY IN TOUCH WITH HER BECAUSE THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TEXT MESSAGES IN THERE ABOUT HOW HOW IS HIME DOING FOR HER. AND I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO GIVE HER GOOD NEWS THAT I THOUGHT SHE WAS DOING A GREAT JOB. BUT JUST TO SUM THIS UP.

I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS SO HALF THAT NANCY SERVED SO YOU ALWAYS PUT KIDS FIRST SHE DID WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS RIGHT AND AGAIN, I HAVE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE SERVED WITH HER AT.

SO LET ME TURN TO THE DISTRICT REPORT FOR HER THANK YOU FOR THE FOR A, HE THANK YOU. START WITH TWO STUDENTS FROM THIS JROTC CADETS WERE SELECTED TO APPEAR IN VIDEOS OFFERING A STUDY TIPS FOR THE ARMED SERVICES VOCATIONAL APTITUDE BATTERY, WHICH HELPS DETERMINE MILITARY ENLISTMENT ELIGIBILITY.

SUPPORT. >> YOU'VE SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF WITH A CHATTY SENIOR CITIZEN.

AND SO SHE AND I HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS.

I THINK THE LAST TIME WE CHATTED ON THE PHONE WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE SAMUEL FINAL WALKTHROUGH, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION, LIKE, WHAT'S HAPPENING? AND OF COURSE, SHE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF A NEW BUILDING AND I COULD JUST SAY WITH THE SINGLE COMMUNITY IN PARTICULAR, IT FEELS THE LOSS OF NANCY BINGHAM. AND HER EXPERIENCE, SHE WAS MY TRUSTEE GROWING UP, AND THAT DISTRICT.

I GOT TO SIT -- I GOT TO INTRODUCE HER AT GRADUATION.

AS WELL AS THE HISTORIAN OF SPRUCE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO IT WAS ALWAYS THE FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME TO SAY, OH, I REMEMBER YOU, BECAUSE I REMEMBER YOUR NAME BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE THAT INTRODUCED YOU, AND SO SHE GOT TO HEAR MY SPEECH THAT GRADUATION SO IT WAS VERY MOVING.

THE COMMITTEE FEELS THE LOSS OF. THEY'VE TOLD ME SHE'S GIVEN ME BIG SHOES TO FILL. AND SHE'S -- AND THEY'RE COWBOY BOOTS. SHE WOULD WEAR HER COWBOY BOOTS.

[00:40:03]

THE PATHS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THAT YOU TAKE BECAUSE.

IF YOUR HEART IS COMMITTED TO EDUCATION, THAT MEANS A LOT.

AND THEN ONE OTHER NOTE BEFORE I DO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ACCOLADES WAS ON TODAY, I FOUND OUT THAT FREDDIE JAMES ONE OF THE GREAT COACHES, GREAT ABOUT COACHES, NOT JUST IN DALLAS.

ISD BUT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND MAYBE IN THE COUNTRY, PASSED AWAY. FREDDIE JAMES WAS ICONIC IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. HE LITERALLY, WRECKED WITH ATHLETES OF ALL RACES, ALL SEXES HE WAS IMPRISONED.

THROUGH CARED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND BEING FROM DALLAS, OF COURSE, HE HAD AN EXCELLENT SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART GOING TO BOOKER T WASHINGTON.

BUT HE WAS THE COACH AT DAVID W CARTER HIGH SCHOOL FROM 1980 TO TO 1995. HE WON ONE CHAMPIONSHIP, WHICH WAS CONTROVERSIAL. BUT WE LOVED HIM ANYWAY, THAT DID NOT MATTER. DURING HIS 14-YEAR TENURE, FREDDIE JAMES WON I THINK, 139 GAMES.

WHICH WAS OUTSTANDING. HE SENT SEVEN YOUNG MEN TO THE PRO FOOTBALL LEAGUE. WHICH WAS ALSO OUTSTANDING.

HE WILL BE MISSED. IN MORE WAYS THAN WE WILL EVER KNOW BECAUSE AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I GET SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE NAMING OF FACILITIES IS I FEEL GREAT THAT FREDDIE JAMES'S NAME IS ON THE AGENDA.

FURTHER DAVID W CARTER ATHLETIC COMPLEX.

IT'S TOUGH, THAT I COULDN'T GET IT DONE.

IT'S TOUGH. EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU. >> PRESIDENT CARREON: THANK YOU, TRUSTEE. TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO A ADAM 7.1 CONSIDERING THE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR APPROVAL, TRUSTEES. THE FOLLOWING MINUTES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL. THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEETING FROM MAYE 20TH, 2026. BOARD MEETING FROM SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2026 EMPLOYEE HEARING SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2026 AND THE BOARD MEETING FROM SEPTEMBE. DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> PRESIDENT CARREON: TRUSTEES, A MOTION AND SECRETARY.

[00:50:01]

QUESTION MARKS SEEING NO QUESTIONS, TRUSTEES, PLEASE CAS.

>> MOTION PASSES, SEVEN. VOTING YES.

[8. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]

, ONE ABSTENTION. >> PRESIDENT CARREON: TRUSTEES, YOU JUST ADOPTED THAT MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS SUBMITTED. SO TRUSTEES WILL NOW TURN TO CONSENT AGENDA ITEM. 8.01.

CONSIDERING TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 8.01 THROUGH 8.32 AS AMENDED.

WE HAVE CONSENT AGENDA. 8.01 TO EIGHT-POINT TO ONE, AS AMENDED. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN PULLED FOR SEPARATE VOTE. SOME HAVE BEEN ADDED LET ME READ ALL THOSE THAT WERE INITIALLY PULLED TICKET 8.02, 8.12, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, 8.20, 8.21, AND 8.32 AND IS IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT 8.12 AND 8.16 HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY.

THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> MOVE TO IMPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> PRESIDENT CARREON: TRUSTEES, MOTION AND SECOND. TRUSTEES, PLEASE CAST YOUR VO VOTES.

>> MOTION PASSES, SEVEN VOTING YES.

[9. ITEMS PULLED FOR A SEPARATE VOTE]

THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US A MOTION TO AMEND BOARD POLICY C W LOCAL NAMING FACILITIES. RIGHT NOW, BEFORE US, IS ON THE TABLE IS VERSION B. THIS MOTION WAS MOVED AND SECONDED AT ARJUN 25TH 2026 MEETING TOOK AT THAT MEETING, THE BOARD POSTPONED THAT MOTION UNTIL AUGUST 22ND OF THE 2026 BOARD MEETING. AND AT THE AUGUST 27TH MEETING.

THAT MOTION WAS POSTPONED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 20 -- UNTIL SEPTEMBER 24TH. BOARD MEETING.

IT HAS NOW BEEN POSTPONED TO THIS MEETING.

IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT BOARD POLICY C W, THEY FACILITIES VERSION BE. THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TRUSTEES, IT'S ON THE TABLE.

ALREADY FIGURED TRUSTEES, IS THERE DISCUSSION?

TRUSTEE MCGEE? >> TRUSTEE MACKEY: I MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION BY STRIKING OUT THE ENTIRE MOTION AND

SUBSTITUTION. >> PRESIDENT CARREON: IS THERE

A MOTION? >> SECOND.

>> PRESIDENT CARREON: TRUSTEES, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

TRUSTEES, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON SUBSTITUTING VERSION B WITH VERSION E? IS THERE A DISCUSSION?

TRUSTEE FOR? >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: WHAT ARE THE CHANGES? I AM SO TIRED OF THIS.

>> THAT CHANGES ARE THE SAME AS WHAT WERE DISCUSSED AT THE BRIEFING. SO THEY WERE BASED ON ALL THE FEEDBACK FROM THIS BOARD OVER FIVE CYCLES, JUST TRYING TO SIMPLIFY IT. THE CHANGES SPECIFICALLY JUST AGAIN, KNOW THAT PROPOSALS TO RENAME A FACILITY MAY ORIGINATE FROM ANYWHERE. THAT IT REQUIRES FOR STARTING A NAMING PROCESS THAT THE S P, D M MUST VOTE IF THERE IS AN ACTIVE S, PDM AND THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE PAPERWORK, THEN THE COMMITTEE INPUT REQUIREMENTS THAT THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PUBLIC NOTICE COMMITTEE MEETING AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE, AND A STANDARDIZED SURVEY THAT'S OPEN FOR. OF TWO WEEKS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE SUBMITTED WITH THE PAPERWORK TO RECOMMEND THAT NAMING.

RECOMMEND REPRESENTING SENSITIVITY AND ARE YOU ABLE TO

[00:55:02]

AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT THIS IS, AIMS TO DO IS JUST SIMPLY IDENTIFY THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME STANDARD PROCEDURES BEFORE IT COMES TO THE BOARD. BUT AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN BASED ON OTHER FEEDBACK, I THINK THIS IS FULLY OPEN FOR THE BOARD AND THE BOARD TO DECIDE WHAT IT WANTS TO DO AND HOW IT WANTS TO DO IT. SO THE GOAL IS TO CLARIFY WHAT HAS BEEN A POLICY AND OPEN TO ANYTHING THAT PEOPLE ARE

INTERESTED IN. >> PRESIDENT CARREON: TRUSTEE,

FOREMAN, STATE YOUR TIME. >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: THIS IS NEW

-- >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: I'M SORRY.

>> PRESIDENT CARREON: THANK YOU. DID I SEE TRUSTEE TURNER NEXT.

>> TRUSTEE TURNER: YES. SO MY QUESTION IS COME UP WITH THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD HAVE A FULL FUNCTIONING IT'S PD M WHAT IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE S PDM?

WHAT HAPPENS IN THAT CASE? >> IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE AN IT'S PD M.

IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ONE, THAT IS A LEGAL THING IS HAPPENING.

IN FACT. THAT NEEDS TO BE SET UP IN THIS INSTANCE BUT I DON'T KNOW. I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT HAVE STUDENTS HAVE AN ACTIVE SPDM, SO THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK AND SEND US ON THE PLANS EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

IT DOES SAY HERE, IF THE SCHOOL IS, FOR INSTANCE, IN THE SCHOOL AND THERE IS NOT ONE THAT THIS PART DOES NOT APPLY AND YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETINGS, THE SURFACE OF THE COMMUNITY.

THAT IS APPROXIMATELY. >> WE DO HAVE S, P AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE VERBIAGE HERE. TRUSTEE MACKEY FOR RESPONDING TO TRUSTEE TURNER'S INQUIRY. I THINK PART OF WHAT I HAD HEARD FROM THE BOARD THAT I THINK YOU WERE ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS WAS PREVIOUSLY ON THE EXHIBIT COMING.

IT JUST REQUIRED A MEMBER OF THE DECISION MAKING OR A PTA MEMBER.

IT DIDN'T REQUIRE THERE TO BE A MEETING, A VOTE OR.

IF I REMEMBER THIS, THIS IS TO CLARIFY THAT IT CAN CAN'T JUST BE IN ONE NAME ONLY AND ONE PERSON CAN BE PULLED ASIDE AND CONVINCED TO SIGN, BUT I THINK I ALSO HAD HEARD TRUSTEE FURMAN TALK ABOUT IS THIS A REAL SPDM. SO TO THAT END, I THINK THIS ALSO STRENGTHENS THE NECESSITY FOR US TO ENSURE THAT OUR CAMPUS IS NOT JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE, BUT FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE LAW IS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ENGAGED FULLY FUNCTIONING

SITE BASED DECISION MA TRUSTEESTRUSTEES >> SO WE WILL COMMITTEE TO

ENSURING THAT IS PART OF THE PROCESS. >> AND I WILL SAY IN A SCHOOL OR FACILITY DOES NOT HAVE AN SBDM, THE PORTION OF THE POLICY REQUIRING THE VOTE IS NOT

REQUIRED. >> YEAH, I READ THAT PART. BUT I JUST ALSO KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS MIGHT HAVE SBDM ON PAPER AND WE LOOK AT THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE QUIET IS, ARE THEY FULLY COMPLIANT? AND WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS FIND OURSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE A SCHOOL WANTED TO BE NAMED AND YOU JUST GOING TO CREATE AN SBDM OUT OF THIN AIR TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. YOU CAN STACK AN SBDM. JUST BEING COMPLETELY HONEST.

TO YOUR POINT OF WHY YOU WANT IT AND HAVING THAT BARRIER, I DO THINK IS IMPORTANT.

I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH HAVING THE SBDM, JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN THE CASE OF A SCHOOL

DOES NOT HAVE A FULLY FUNCTIONS SBDM. >> MAY I CLARIFY SOMETHING? WE DO REQUIRE THE SBDM AND THE MEMBERS HAVE TO BE SELECTED ACCORDING TO STATUTE AND HAVE TO BE TURNED IN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. THAT IS TO AVOID EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESCRIBED. WE HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN. CHIEF HUITT-POWELL REQUIRES THAT

AND IF IT'S NOT DONE, WE GO DOWN TO FACILITATE THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT

CLARIFICATION. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: SHOWING TRUSTEE GARCIA NEXT.

>> I HAVE BEEN PART OF THE PROCESSES FOR THE CHANGES TO THIS POLICY.

I THINK WHAT I'M SENSING AND THE WAY I REREAD IT. I KNOW I SENSE SOME CONFUSION AND MAYBE MISALIGNMENT ACROSS THE BOARD WHICH IS FINE. IN REVIEWING IT AGAIN, I, WELL I

[01:00:02]

I KNOW THEY CAN BE, YOU CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS WITH SURVEYS, THAT WAS MY TAKE AWAY AND IT WAS HIGHLIGHTED TO ME THE IMPACT STATEMENTS, RIGHT, HOW WE'RE PROVIDING A LIST HERE ON PAGE 2, AND YOU KNOW WHEN I REALLY SIT WITH IT, I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ALL OF THIS LANGUAGE HERE.

I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS, OR PROVIDE SOME IMPROVEMENTS BUT IS NOT MAYBE THE SOLUTION TO OUR CONCERNS WITH CW. SO, YOU KNOW MY TAKE IS THAT

PERHAPS WE SHOULD POSTPONE THIS INDEFINITELY. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: SO, JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR PROCEDURALLY, WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THE CURRENT MOTION, WHICH AGAIN THE CURRENT MOTION CURRENTLY IS JUST TO REPLACE WHAT IS CURRENT ON THE TABLE VERSION B WITH VERSION E AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO ALSO VOTE TO APPROVE TO ACTUALLY AMEND CW.

BUT THE CURRENT VOTE OR THE CURRENT MOTION ON THE TABLE IS JUST TO REPLACE B WITH E.

WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A SUBSEQUENT MOTION.

SO ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS TRUSTEE GARCIA? >> NO.

THOSE WERE MY COMMENTS. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: SO THEN I SEE TRUSTEE MICCICHE NEXT.

>> I WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN ON THIS POINT BEFORE.

ALL OF THESE STANDARDS, REQUIREMENTS, FOR COMMUNITY INPUT FOR SURVEYS, FOR PARTICIPATION, REQUIREMENTS FOR MEETING AGE QUALIFICATIONS FOR PRESENTING STATEMENTS OF IN SUPPORT OF WHY THE NAME SHOULD BE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD. NONE OF THOSE APPLY IF THREE TRUSTEES PUT IT ON THE AGENDA. AND ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUT ON THE AGENDA IS PUT THE NAME ON THERE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO THIS.

IT IS A, IT'S A COMPLETE END RUN AROUND THE POLICY. SO I KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED.

BUT IT'S ONLY HAPPENED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND IT'S ON TOP OF JUST NUMEROUS NAME CHANGES THAT I AND ALL MY COLLEAGUES AGREED TO BUT WE HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF NAMES COMING UP EVERY SINGLE MEETING. AND I DON'T THINK THIS FIXES THE ISSUE.

I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE L ON THE THEORY OF YOU KNOW DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW THERE'S THE ANALYTICAL PART OF ME THAT SAYS, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A POLICY THAT HAS THIS GIGANTIC EXCEPTION THAT BASICALLY EVISCERATES THE POLICY.

AND THEN THERE'S PRACTICAL SIDE OF ME IS WE SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THIS, I'M READY TO MOVE AND SINCE BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY THAT I HAVE.

SO, LIKE I SAID, I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE L AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF.

THANKS. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: SO I SEE FOR ROUND ONE, I SEE TRUSTEE

CURRIE. >> SO, MY COMMENTS ARE LIMITED. ONE I DON'T FEEL PARTICULARLY STRONGLY ONE WAY. I WANT TO THANK TRUSTEE MACKEY AND MAYBE WE GET THE VOTES TO PASS THIS AND MAYBE WE DON'T. THE FACT HE HAS PUT AS MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS IS COMMENDABLE. I THINK THE ACTUAL CHANGES ON THIS PAPER MAKE SENSE TO ME.

IF YOU HAVE AN SBDM AND EVERYBODY SHOULD. THEY OUGHT TO SIGN OFF ON IT.

WE SHOULD ASPIRE TO HAVE A COMMENT MEETING AND GET THE COMMUNITY'S INPUT THROUGH A SURVEY. THAT'S REALLY THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THIS.

HAVE AN SBDM AND A COMMUNITY SURVEY AND THOSE DON'T SEEM CONTROVERSIAL TO ME.

I'M COMFORTABLE SUPPORTING AND PASSING THIS. AS TO TRUSTEE MICCICHE'S POINT, I WOULD NOT BE OPPOSED TO AN AMENDMENT THAT SAID YOU KNOW CW CANNOT, YOU NEED AT LEAST SIX TRUSTEES TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA OR PASS WITH SIX TRUSTEES IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT, WE CAN DISCUSS THAT. I DON'T THINK BECAUSE OF THAT CONCERN WE SHOULD THROW AWAY ALL THE GOOD WORK. WE SHOULD KEEP THE GOOD WORK AND ADDRESS THAT OTHER CONCERN AS

[01:05:05]

>>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND TO

THAT? >> AN EASY WAY TO FIX THE CONCERN IS TO SAY IF THREE TRUSTEES WANT TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA, THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL STANDARDS SET FORTH MEANING GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, MAKING A STATEMENT AS TO WHY THE PERSON OR WHY THE FACILITY SHOULD BE NAMED AFTER THE PERSON. IT SHOULDN'T JUST GO UP THERE WITH A BARE NAME AND THAT'S WHAT OUR POLICY PROVIDES. IF ALL THESE THINGS ARE GOOD TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY INPUT, TO HAVE A SURVEY, TO HAVE A STANDARD FOR WHO QUALIFIES OR WHAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED, TO HAVE SOMETHING NAMED AFTER YOU.

IF ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD TO HAVE, THEN THEY SHOULDN'T JUST BE SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BYPASS BY HAVING ONE TRUSTEE SAY, WOULD YOU ACCOMMODATE ME AND WOULD YOU ACCOMMODATE ME AND PUT ON THE AGENDA? ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, AS I SAID BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE NAMED ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE WHO IS NOT IN SOME SENSE WORTHY OF IT.

I SUPPORTED ALL OF THOSE. IF WE'RE GOING TO FIX THE NAMING POLICY, WE HAVEN'T FIX IT OVER HERE FOR ONE SET OF NAMINGS AND THEN JUST SAY, HEY, DON'T WORTH WITH ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

IF THOSE ARE TOO MUCH TROUBLE. JUST GET YOUR TRUSTEE TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA AND ALMOST ANY TRUSTEE AT ANY TIME IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TWO OTHERS TO ACCOMMODATE THEM.

THAT'S MY CONCERN. SO, THE LANGUAGE THAT I WOULD PUT IN HERE WOULD BE SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, IF THE NAME IS BROUGHT TO THE BOARD PURSUANT TO I GUESS IT WAS B LOCAL.

WHICHEVER THE POLICY IS THAT ALLOWS THE THREE TRUSTEES. THEN THE TRUSTEES WHO ARE SPONSORING THAT NAME CHANGE NEED TO MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE REFERENCED IN THE POLICY INCLUDING A STATEMENT OF WHY THE NAME NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WITHIN 60 DAYS.

WE HAVE TO VOTE WITHIN 60 DAYS IF WE ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN USING THE THREE TRUSTEE RULE. SO, WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE TO BE DONE IN 60 DAYS? DOES IT MEET THE AGE REQUIREMENTS? DOES IT MEET, WHATEVER THE WHOLE LIST OF REQUIREMENTS ARE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THE THREE TRUSTEE PROCEDURE, THEN YOU NEED TO INCORPORATE ALL OF THE THESE OTHER THINGS. IF WE DON'T DO THAT, WE WILL NOT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WILL STILL HAVE MONTHLY NAME CHANGES BECAUSE YOU CAN GET IT ON THE AGENDA WITH JUST TWO OTHER TRUSTEES ACCOMMODATING YOU WHEN YOU PUT

IT ON THERE. THAT'S MY THING ON THIS. >> DO I HAVE ANY TIME LEFT?

>> YOU HAVE 5:16. I APPRECIATE THAT. I DIDN'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF.

I WOULD SAY I THINK THAT EXISTS IN OUR CURRENT POLICY THAT SAME PROBLEM YOU'RE REFERRING TO.

AND IF WE PASS THIS WITH NO CHANGES, IT WOULD STILL EXIST. THAT PROBLEM EXISTS NO MATTER WHAT. SO I'M FIRST ASKING MYSELF IS THIS POLICY BEFORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY? THEN I CAN DECIDE TO MAKE THIS CHANGE AND WE CAN EITHER MAKE IT AMENDMENT, WE SHOULD MAYBE TALK ABOUT THAT PORTION AND BRING IT UP AT THE NEXT MEETING.

THE OTHER THING WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT IS SAY CW LOCAL IS EXEMPTED FROM THE BE POLICY WHERE YOU CAN'T DO THE THREE-TRUSTEE RULE ON IT AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER WAY TO SOLVE IT. OR YOU COULD GO THROUGH THE THREE-TRUSTEE PROCESS BUT ONLY THE AGE REQUIREMENTS. THERE'S WAYS TO STRUCTURE THAT.

BUT, MY POINT IS I DON'T WANT THROW AWAY GOOD WORK BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER THING WE ALSO NEED TO DO. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY TO THAT.

I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE SUPPORTING THIS TODAY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOOD WORK AND GOOD PROGRESS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T ITERATING AND GETTING BOTHER.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE MACKEY FOR CORALLING THIS. I SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT TRUSTEE MICCICHE HAS PUT FORTH. I ALSO SPECIFICALLY ON PAGE 2 WOULD LIKE TO, I WOULD LIKE TO

[01:10:11]

SIMPLIFYING INSTEAD OF LISTING AND PRESCRIBING. I THINK IT DOESN'T DESCRIBE.

THAT IS MY KIND OF CORROBORATING WHAT I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH TRUSTEE GARCIA AND SUGGESTING A

SUBSTITUTION AND REMOVE OF PRESCRIPTIONS. >> POINT OF ORDER.

>>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: GO AHEAD. I WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK TO IT. JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR.

WE HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE HERE NOW. IF WE'RE DISCUSSING AMENDMENTS, NO AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN TIMELY SUBMITTED. SO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROCEDURALLY VOTE THIS MOTION DOWN AND THEN BRING ANOTHER MOTION UP TO POSTPONE ONCE AGAIN TO TIMELY SUBMIT YOUR AMENDMENTS. SO JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE. WE HAD A DEADLINE OF 12 HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING TO SUBMIT AMENDMENTS. AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF THIS AND NONE WAS SUBMITTED. JUST, SO, THAT SAID WE CAN GO TO ROUND TWO.

TRUSTEE FOREMAN. >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: THANK YOU. I TRIED TO LISTEN CLOSELY TO WHAT EVERYBODY WAS SAYING. WE CONSISTENTLY TALKED ABOUT RENAMING NOT NAMING.

RENAMING. NOT JUST NAMING. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO. RENAMING AND JUST NAMING.

I TOO AGREE WITH TRUSTEE GARCIA ABOUT SURVEYS. THEY CAN BE MANIPULATED IN A WHOLE BUNCH OF WAYS. I'M ALWAYS LEERY ABOUT HOW SURVEYS WORK.

TWO THINGS THAT I HAD ASKED BE IN THE POLICY WAS FOR THERE TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ONLY HAVE FOUR NAMES PER YEAR COMING FROM ANY TRUSTEE DISTRICT. TO LIMIT THE NUMBER THAT WOULD BE COMING FORWARD. AND THEN I ALSO TALKED ABOUT AND I NOTICED IT'S BEEN TAKEN OUT.

I ALSO TALKED ABOUT TRUSTEE-DRIVEN MEETINGS WITH NAMING.

BECAUSE IN SOME CASES, YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1 SCHOOL IN YOUR DISTRICT THAT MIGHT BE RENAMED.

AND THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TRUSTEE TO WORK WITH. THAT'S WHAT I DID IN MY DISTRICT. IT WAS TRUSTEE DRIVEN. THEN WENT TO THE SBDM.

AND THEN FROM THERE, TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEN TO THE BOARD. SO, THERE'S STILL SOME ISSUES I HAVE PERSONALLY WITH THIS. I HAVE SAID IT ONCE TONIGHT AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, IS THAT I HAVE SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AND HE'S WORTHY. HE IS WORTHY.

AND I DON'T THINK ANY TRUSTEE SHOULD BE KEPT FROM BRINGING NAMES FORWARD WHERE PEOPLE ARE WORTHY. SOMETIMES I DIDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND WHERE IT MIGHT NOT BOTHER SOME OF YOU, THAT BOTHERS ME TREMENDOUSLY. THANK YOU.

>>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: TRUSTEE MICCICHE. >> A COUPLE THINGS.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH A AMENDMENT TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN VERSION E THAT SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF THE THREE TRUSTEE PROCEDURE AND B LOCAL DOES NOT APPLY TO NAME OR

[01:15:08]

THIS MONTH. YOU HAD TO GIVE A STATEMENT WHY YOU WANTED TO CHANGE IT.

IT'S IN THERE. IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A POLICY CHANGE, JUST THINK WE NEED TO HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT OF WHY THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING OR PORTION OF A BUILDING IS GOING TO BE NAMED OR IS PROPOSED TO BE NAMED AFTER A CERTAIN PERSON. THAT'S JUST ONE POINT.

PROCEDURALLY, I THINK WE COULD ALSO DO AN AMENDMENT. I DIDN'T PULL THIS FOR DISCUSSION. LIKE I SAID, I WAS READY TO JUST LET IT PASS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. I DIDN'T PULL IT OR SUBMIT AN AMENDMENT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME ON NAMES. IF WE WANTED TO AND I DON'T SUPPORT THIS, WE COULD WAIVE THE RULES AND PERMIT AN AMENDMENT THAT WOULD BE SATISFACTORY TO A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD. SO, WE DON'T HAVE TO DEFER IT IF WE'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH IT.

WE CAN HAVE A NOTE TO WAIVE THE RULES AND THEN WE CAN WORK ON AN AMENDMENT AND PASS THAT AMENDMENT. I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT, BUT IF OTHERS ARE IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I AM WILLING TO LISTEN. BUT -- I THINK I SAID ENOUGH.

THANKS. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: I SEE CHAIR TRUSTEE MACKEY.

>> THANK YOU. ALL OF THESE FACTS I SUPPORT. I SUPPORT ADDING THIS LANGUAGE.

I SUPPORT YOUR POINT TRUSTEE GARCIA ABOUT THE EXISTING LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT SPECIFIC.

PROBABLY COULD BE IMPROVED AND SOUNDS LIKE TRUSTEE WEINBERG AS IDEAS FOR THAT.

ALL OF THIS WOULD BE GREAT AND THE PURPOSE OF THE BRIEFINGS. I WOULD BE OPEN TO ALL AMENDMENTS BUT I'M NOT A MIND READER. AND THEN TO TRUSTEE FOREMAN'S POINT, AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER WORTHY CONVERSATION.

SHOULD WE LIMIT TO FOUR IN A DISTRICT? THAT'S A WORTHY CONVERSATION TO HAVE HERE AS PART OF THIS DISCUSSION. TO THE POINT ABOUT THE TRUSTEE DISTRICT NAMING COMMITTEE. IT'S HERE PROPOSALS TO RENAME MAY ORIGINATE FROM ANYWHERE.

DOES NOT PUT REQUIREMENTS ON THIS BECAUSE IT RECOGNIZES HOW THINGS HAPPEN.

THE ONLY THING THIS ADDS IS THE SBDM SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON THIS.

IT DOES SAY THERE SHOULD BE A COMMUNITY MEETING TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE AND THERE SHOULD BE A SURVEY. IT DOES NOT DICTATE. THE SURVEY IS NOT SAYING IF THE VOTE IS UP OR DOWN, THAT'S THE NAME. IT'S JUST A DATA POINT TO SHOW PEOPLE'S VOICE WERE HEARD. SO I MEAN, I AM OPEN AGAIN. THIS IS NOT MY GOAL, I WAS DOING AND PUTTING LANGUAGE AT THE BEHEST OF TRUSTEES NUMEROUS TIMES WHO SAID WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE POLICY. IT'S BEEN AN OPEN CONVERSATION.

I WOULD BE AMENABLE TO PASSING THIS POLICY WITH THIS LANGUAGE BECAUSE I AGREE WITH LANCE THAT THIS LANGUAGE IS BETTER THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE. I AM ALSO OKAY WITH POSTPONING AND TALKING ABOUT THESE AMENDMENTS AT ANOTHER TIME. IF THE BOARD DECIDES TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY, THAT'S FINE. IF WE POSTPONE INDEFINITELY, THAT WON'T COME BACK.

I'M AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS A WORTHY CONVERSATION. IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NO MATTER WHAT PROCESS THIS BOARD HAS TO FIX IT. IT'S A BOARD POLICY.

SO IT CANNOT BE FIXED BY A SMALL SEGMENT. WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION

IF WE WANT AN APPROVED POLICY OR NOT. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: CURRIE.

>> I HEAR THE POINT ABOUT BOARD BRIEFINGS. OPEN MEETING ACT, WE CAN'T HAVE THIS CONVERSATION UNLESS WE'RE AT THIS HORSESHOE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR WHAT I WANT SUPPORT AND BE OPPOSED TO TODAY TO HOPEFULLY GIVE CLARITY TO MY COLLEAGUES AND THEN TRUSTEE MACKEY DEPENDING ON HOW THIS GOES FORWARD. I WOULD VOTE FOR THIS TODAY TO GO FORWARD AND ALSO SUPPORT WE CAN'T PROCEDURALLY TO WAIVE THE RULES.

I WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE LANGUAGE THAN CRAFTING ON THE DAIS PERSONALLY.

[01:20:03]

I'M COMFORTABLE WITH PASSING THIS AND PUTTING THE AMENDMENTS ON THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

IF WE WANT TO FURTHER IMPROVE THE POLICY. IF THE BOARD COMES AND SAYS ACTUALLY WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT PIECEMEAL WITH ONE KIND OF THINGS, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF POSTPONING THIS TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. I WOULD BE OPPOSED TO POSTPONING INDEFINITELY.

I DON'T WANT TO THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON MY POSITIONS AND HOPEFULLY MOVE THIS FORWARD AND ONE DAY HAVE A VOTE AND BE DONE WITH THIS ONE

UNTIL THE NEXT ONE COMES. THANK YOU. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: TRUSTEE

GARCIA, ROUND TWO. >> I'M HEARING ALL THE CONVERSATION.

I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF POSTPONING TO A CERTAIN DATE. NOT NECESSARILY INDEFINITELY IF WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION. THE REASON WHY I SAID INDEFINITELY AND SENSE THAT PROBABLY TRUSTEE MACKEY AGREES. I DIDN'T MENTION OPENLY SURVEYS.

I WAS WILLING TO MOVE FORWARD. THE ONE THING THAT WAS POINTED OUT THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE YOU KNOW KEEPING ARE THESE YOU KNOW EXAMPLES AND THE ONES THAT STICK OUT FOR ME THIS MIGHT BE JUST BECAUSE OF MY BACKGROUND AND WORK. THE ONES THAT STICK OUT TO ME ARE GOING TO BE LIKE I HAVE TROUBLE WITH PHRASES THAT SAY LIKE DECREASE IN GANG VIOLENCE.

REDUCING CRIME. ALL OF THOSE THINGS CAN BE SEEN AS GREAT BUT MY PERSPECTIVE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE HOW DO I INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT IS GOING TO BE THE INVERSE.

BE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION. I KNOW THESE ARE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS AND ASSUMES THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. WHEN I SAW THIS AND IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME.

I THOUGHT THOSE TWO RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW THAT MAYBE THE TRUTH, I JUST HAVE TROUBLE WITH LIKE THESE ARE THE EXAMPLES AND THE, WE SHOULD BE IN SOME WAYS BEYOND THIS.

SINCE I'M ALREADY GOING TO SAY POSTPONING. LET ME MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT SURVEYS. OF COURSE IT'S ONLY ONE DATA POINT.

I DIDN'T SUBMIT AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT'S ONLY ONE DATA POINT.

IF I SHARE MY TRUE FEELINGS, THOSE WERE THINGS TO STUCK OUT TO ME.

SO, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS. AND THIS IS GREAT WORK.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO TOSS IT OUT THE WINDOW.

BUT I JUST SENSE THAT OTHER TRUSTEES WERE NOT COMING FORWARD WITH THEIR WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE OR MAYBE THEY WERE AND THEY JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS AT A GOOD PLACE.

SO, I WOULD WANT TO POSTPONE TO NEXT MONTH IF POSSIBLE. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: TRUSTEE, SO ANYONE ELSE FOR ROUND TWO? TRUSTEES THE VOTE BEFORE THE BOARD IS JUST TO SUBSTITUTE VERSION E FOR VERSION B. IT IS NOT A VOTE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AT THIS POINT.

SO THE MOTION BEFORE THE BOARD IS TO APPROVE THE SUBSTITUTION OF VERSION E FOR VERSION B.

SEEING NO FURTHER ROUND TWO, SO ROUND THREE. >> CLARIFICATION.

>> SO, IF THE VOTE IS JUST TO VOTE ON THIS VERSION SUBSTITUTE THIS VERSION, THERE WOULD HAVE

TO BE ANOTHER MOTION MADE TO VOTE ON THE SUBSTITUTE. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: SO THE VOTE RIGHT NOW ON THE TABLE IS VERSION B. TO REPLACE WITH E AND THEN WE

WOULD HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN TO ACCEPT E. >> DO WE HAVE TO VOTE TONIGHT TO

ACCEPT E? >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: DURING DISCUSSION YOU IS MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE OR IT CAN FAIL. NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE TO ACCEPT IT.

>> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: WE CAN POSTPONE TO NEXT BOARD MEETING. >>PRESIDENT CARREÓN: FIRST WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS VOTE AND DURING THE DISCUSSION OF THE NEXT VOTE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION. THE MOTION ON THE BOARD IS TO SUBSTITUTE VERSION E FOR B.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. >> TRUSTEE GARCIA. SHE'S ON THERE.

>> YES. >> DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPENT WITH SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN

BUILDING SUPPLIES FROM OUR PREVIOUS CONTRACT? >> NO, MA'AM.

I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME. >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: THE REASON I ASK THAT QUESTION IS I DO KNOW TO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES ARE IN THAT PARTICULAR BUSINESS BUT BY GOING THROUGH CO-OPS WE MISS THOSE SMALL BUSINESSES AND SO, I KNOW WE'RE SAYING WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THREE BIDS BASED ON THE CO-OP AND USUALLY WITHIN THE CO-OP.

IF AN INDIVIDUAL SMALL BUSINESS ISN'T IN THE CO-OP, THEY DON'T GET TO BID ON IT.

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING ALL THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CO-OPS. IF YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION

I WOULD LOVE IT. >> YES, MA'AM. TRUSTEE MICCICHE.

>> SECOND. >> TRUSTEES MOVED AND SECONDED. IS THERE DISCUSSION?

>> YES. >> TRUSTEE FORM. FOREMAN

>> DO WE NOT HAVE ANY SMALL BUSINESS THAT IS WERE WILLING TO BID ON THIS $600,000 ITEM?

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY WE HAVE ALREADY ENTERED, THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WE'RE ASKING IS IN A COOPERATIVE WE HAVE A BROADER GROUP TO SELECT FROM AND STILL REQUIRE THE THREE BIDS THAT HAVE TO BE ATTACHED TO THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION AS TO WHO IS IN THAT EVEN IN THAT GROUP. WE CAN LOOK AND SEE WHO IS IN

THE COOPERATIVE GROUP. >> TRUSTEE FOREMAN: SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS.

BUT YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A LARGER GROUP TO LOOK AT IN A COOPERATIVE BECAUSE THEY INDIVIDUALLY TAKE THEIR BIDS AND THEN THEY HAVE THEIR VENDORS AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE VERY LIMITED IN THE NUMBER OF VENDORS THEY HAVE AND THAT'S WHY I ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT US LEANING MORE TOWARDS COOPERATIVE BUSINESSES BECAUSE BUSINESSES IN OUR AREA WHO ARE PAYING US TAXES IN AND CASES DON'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON OUR WORK. AND AS WE CONTINUE TO PUSH OUT AND WE KEEP PUSHING OUT TO THE COOPERATIVE VENDORS WE ARE NEGLECTING THE PEOPLE PAYING TAXES TO DISD. I AM A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES, NOW WE'RE PUSHING OUT SO MANY COOPERATIVE PURCHASES THAT WE'RE EXCLUDING SOME PEOPLE.
