Thank
you,
dr
bishop.
Through
the
president,
I
believe
dr
bishop
is
referencing
any
number
of
processes
available
through
the
through
personnel
matters
that
may
be
available
to
this
person
testifying
tonight
and
also
as
the
board
president
is
aware.
Personnel
matters
generally
are
not
subject
to
discussion
in
in
this.
In
this
forum,.
A
An
individual
who
is
going
through
these
sorts
of
things
you
may
you
may
testify
on
any
anything
that
that
is
not
having
to
do
with
the
district
confidential
process,
such
as
evaluation,
okay,
because
anything
that
may
come
before
this
board
relative
to
any
employment
issue,
is
it's
inappropriate
for
it
to
be
testified
on
at
this
time?
Okay,.
B
A
A
B
B
B
More
seriously,
do
a
complete
overhaul
of
asd
board
policy.
If
your
anti-racism
policy
was
enough,
then
all
of
us
would
not
be
going
through
this
to
our
new
incoming
superintendent.
I
implore
you
to
please
clean
house
on
day
one
right
now:
the
asd's
senior
administration
is
sick
with
racist
individuals
who
believe
in
stuff,
like
anti-crt
rhetoric
and
the
great
replacement
theory.
B
E
So
for
the
first
couple
of
years
I
taught
it
as
an
elective
and
whereas
some
students
sought
out
enrollment
in
this
class,
others
were
admittedly
placed
there
because
other
electives
had
filled
up
now
after
those
first
first
couple
of
years.
However,
I
realized
that
many
students
who
were
enrolled
in
other
electives
wanted
to
pursue
debate,
but
could
only
do
so
if
it
were
offered
outside
of
the
school
day,
and
that
is
where
I
decided
to
begin
an
after-school
program.
E
Begich
was
able
to
offer
me
an
addenda
through
title
1
funds
and
for
the
last
10
years
we
have
had
a
steadily
increasing
number
of
committed
students
in
our
program
as
to
why
this
program
has
been
successful.
It
simply
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
these
kids
love
it,
which
I'm
sure
you
heard
in
my
students
testimonials
earlier
this
evening.
E
Debate
offers
an
alternative
for
students
who
are
not
involved
in
sports
but,
more
importantly,
it
draws
students
who
are
keenly
interested
in
the
complex
topics
of
the
world
around
them.
We've
debated
everything
from
the
environment
to
healthcare,
education
to
social
media.
The
kids
are
required
to
look
at
both
sides
of
these
issues,
causing
them
to
at
least
reflect
on
prior
held
beliefs
and
what
their
societies
tell
them.
Debate
also
gives
kids
the
chance
to
find
their
voice.
E
I've
had
students
who
are
terrified
of
the
prospect
of
speaking
in
front
of
an
audience
go
on
to
become
poised
and
confident
young
public
speakers,
but
with
all
these
benefits,
enrollment
in
our
program
has
waned.
In
recent
years,
between
2015
and
2017,
our
tournaments
averaged
25
to
30
teams,
with
typically
six
or
more
schools
attending.
F
F
We
inaugurated
this
program,
as
you
heard
from
mr
voss
about
10
years
ago,
and
we're
delighted
with
it
caught
fire
pretty
quickly,
though
it
was
always
uncertain
as
to
whether
or
not
there
would
be
schools
and
students
interested
in
participating
in
this.
I
had
confidence
that
they
would
do
so
largely
because
of
my
experience
in
debate
both
as
a
participant
as
well
as
a
coach
for
many
years.
I
quite
literally
debate
provided
the
intellectual
foundation
for
my
entire
life.
F
F
I
had
the
good
fortune
when
I
went
to
university
to
find
a
debate
program
under
the
guidance
of
a
really
terrific
teacher
and
eventually
became
somebody
who
wanted
to
give
back
to
what
had
given
me
so
much
over
the
course
of
my
life.
So
when
I
became
a
debate
coach
for
the
university
of
alaska,
one
of
my
priorities
was
making
sure
that
other
students
in
our
community
had
that
same
opportunity
that
we
had.
So
we
started
this
debate
league
about
10
years
ago
and,
as
you
heard
from
mr
voss,
it
took
off
very
quickly.
F
That
part
was
no
surprise
to
me,
largely
because
I
knew
that
the
students,
when
presented
with
an
opportunity
to
engage
in
these
intellectual
conversations
and
the
challenge
of
making
arguments
against
opponents,
would
find
that
as
thrilling
as
I
did,
and
it's
proved
time
and
time
again
to
be
true.
I
want
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
how
the
system,
how
the
debate
league
works
and
what
we're
looking
for
in
terms
of
support
from
the
school
board.
So
we
have
a
course
of
four
tournaments
scheduled
throughout
the
year
one.
Each
quarter.
F
We
invite
all
schools
to
participate
in
those
tournaments,
as
you
heard
from
mr
boss.
Fewer
and
fewer
schools
are
doing
so
largely
because
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
we've
faced
over
the
last
few
years.
But
those
tournaments
are
the
product
of
a
lot
of
preparation
on
the
part
of
the
students.
We
announced
the
debate
topics
about
six
weeks
prior
to
those
tournaments.
F
The
students
work,
research
and
prepare
their
arguments,
come
to
either
a
middle
school
or
to
the
university
campus
and
engage
in
a
day-long
tournament
where
they
are
put
through
a
course
of
about
six
debate
rounds
in
order
to
determine
the
winner.
So
imagine
if
you
will
not
only
an
after-school
program
meeting,
but
a
group
of
students
gathering
on
a
saturday
to
study
to
think
to
engage
one
another
and
to
be
excited
about
it.
It's
a
wonderful
thing.
What
we
need
to
make
this
program
grow,
though,
is
a
vote
of
confidence
from
the
anchorage
school
district.
F
We
need
support
in
terms
of
recognition
as
an
official
after-school
activity.
It
is
not
currently
it's
run
exclusively
by
the
seals
debate
program
and
the
good
intentions
of
all
the
teachers
who
are
willing
to
give
their
time
to
it.
We
need
addenda
for
the
teachers
who
are
willing
to
give
their
time
to
it.
A
A
A
A
I
I
They
were
fueled
by
adam
johnson,
a
teacher
at
roll
mcmiddle
school
who
happens
to
give
up
all
his
time
his
personal
time
to
run
debate
there.
My
oldest
I
get
to
talk
about
my
two
favorite
things.
My
oldest
son,
is
an
11th
grader,
his
name's
harrison.
He
started
this
in
debate
seventh
grade
eighth
grade
and
with
mr
johnson
as
one
of
his
coaches
and
guides
and
judges.
He
competed
in
middle
school.
I
He
then
goes
on
to
ninth
grade
and
he
becomes
a
state
debate.
Champ
tenth
grade
was
coven
11th
grade.
Second
in
the
state
and
in
the
event
won
multiple
region
competitions,
and
it
was
because
of
the
research
they
do
the
way
they
structure
their
arguments,
the
way
they're
taught
to
present
their
viewpoints
and
how
they
debate
back
and
forth.
I
I
I
Okay
he'll
tell
you
that
you
know
their
classmates
have
gone
on
to
prestigious.
Schools
have
gone
on
to
yale,
they've
gone
and
gotten
scholarships
and
coming
out
of
romick
starting
enrollment
for
debate,
they've
gotten
scholarship
to
college
and
gotten
college
paid
for
because
it
depends,
they
all
know
that
uaa
is
one
of
the
dream
teams
in
this
country.
J
J
I
am
here
because
I
have
received
many
complaints
from
children,
families
and
employees
on
the
mistreatment
they
received
while
being
a
person
of
color,
and
I
just
ask
we
please
change
the
narrative,
oh
and
you
do
not
know
about
it,
because
who
are
they
supposed
to
trust?
Besides
myself,
my
executive
committee
and
even
other
organizations
like
abc
and
the
naacp,
this
is
actually
happening
to
the
very
own.
J
The
last
one
I
have
been
here
for
the
last-
and
I
believe
five
years
and
I
have
been
they've,
been
flying
out
of
here,
educators
of
color
fly
out
of
here.
We
wonder
why
the
climate
is
horrible
and
I'll
come
back
to
that.
You
have
educators
that
genuinely
love
their
job,
the
children
and
their
families
that
are
that
they
are
educating.
We
realize
that
educators
of
color
or
children
and
their
families
were
not
being
properly
represented
and
that
the
climate
was
very
dangerous
to
work
in.
J
J
I
don't
even
know
if
they're
like
me,
I'm
pretty
sure,
they're
paying
student
loans,
but
I
literally
pay
out
of
pocket
every
two
weeks,
no
matter
the
color
of
their
skin,
we're
here
to
educate
and
what
is
sad
about
the
climate
is
that
it
is
very
different,
dangerous
and
at
the
point
it's
scaring
and
controlling
voices-
and
this
is
scary
to
know
someone
in
a
higher
position
than
me
can
stop
my
whole
process
all
because
they
do
not
like
me
or
do
not.
They
do
not
like
what
I'm
doing
for
my
community.
J
There
is
a
lot
of
charming
here
and
I
hope-
and
I
have
no
idea
how
we're
going
to
fix
this.
Besides
changing
the
narrative,
the
trauma
is
real
at
this
point
and
that's
probably
why
it's
hard
to
hire
and
retain
people
of
color.
Now
what
I
have
look,
what
I
have
to
look
forward
to
just
happens.
My
principal
supported
me
and
mentored
me,
but
he's
leaving
go
to
another
school
and
I
just
happen
to
be
receiving
another
awesome
mentor.
But
again
I
am
one
of
the
lucky
ones.
J
What
about
all
your
other
educators,
who
may
have
been
hushed,
support
staff
who
don't
feel
safe
or
heard
directors
who
may
not
be
saying
things
they
know,
are
wrong
and
school
board
members
who
have
no
idea
what
is
really
going
on
in
their
schools.
I
will
not
stand
by
and
allow
this
to
stop
me
from
doing
what
I
do
best
that
is
work
in
the
best
interest
of
children.
I
educate
and
will
be
educating.
Thank
you.

K

Hello,
my
name
is
jared
woods.
I
am
the
father
of
two
boys
that
attend
rogers
park
elementary
school
on
the
neighborhood
side.
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
plan
to
cut
teachers
from
rogers
park
on
the
neighborhood
side.
Classes
on
the
neighborhood
side
have
roughly
twice
as
many
students
per
class
than
the
classes
on
the
highly
gifted
side.
L
Now
I
grew
up
here
in
alaska
and
I
spent
my
entire
public
school
all
my
public
school
years
at
asd
schools
and
I
had
many
great
teachers
that
made
a
huge
impact
on
me
and
I'm
very,
very
grateful
for
the
education
I
received.
I
want
my
boys
to
look
back
on
their
public
school
careers
and
be
able
to
say
the
same
thing
and
it
makes
it
really
hard
if
they're
in
a
class
with
almost
40
students
for
them
to
have
the
same
experience.
A
A

P
Had
been
a
teacher
at
blair's
control
alternative
school
for
the
past
22
years,
I
know
personally
without
a
doubt
that
he
believed
in
the
importance
of
physical
education
and
contribute
to
the
player's
philosophy
and
legacy.
He
stated
sorry.
He
started
each
day
with
open
gym
prior
to
the
start
of
the
school
day,
damon
taught
all
13
grade
levels
throughout
the
day
he
enjoyed
keeping
the
gym
open
during
lunch,
so
students
had
a
safe
alternative
place
for
activity
and
would
do
anything
after
school
to
help
out
where
he
was
ever
needed.
P
He
always
offered
a
helping
hand
and
never
said
no
to
whatever
was
asked
of
him:
staff
members
and
students
alike.
My
husband
made
it
his
goal
and
as
a
physical
education
educator
to
make
sure
that
each
and
every
student
that
walked
through
his
gym
doors
was
treated
with
respect
and
encouraged
to
do
their
very
best.
Damon
made
it
his
educational
philosophy
that
he
would
find
ways
to
help
all
achieve
their
athletic
goals.
However,
it
was
not
how
well
people
performed
at
a
sport
that
was
important
to
damon.
It
was
how
much
effort
they
gave.
P
He
wanted
students
to
learn.
Lifelong
healthy
activities,
so
they
could
implement
them
through
their
daily
lives
and
make
healthy
choices
on
in
their
own
future.
Damon's
main
reason
for
this
philosophy
was
that
he
was
born
with
type
1
diabetes
to
him.
He
was
never
going
to
allow
his
disease
to
control
his
physical
capabilities.
P
Many
who
knew
damon
knew
that
he
was
a
very
incredible
athlete
in
high
school.
He
played
football
and
won
two
state
titles.
He
played
basketball
track
and
hockey
in
his
spare
time
when
he
was
not
participating
in
school
sports,
he
made
sure
he
was
in
the
gym
working
out
at
least
four
to
six
times
a
week.
P
P
P
Damon
always
looked
forward
to
this
time
of
year,
whether
it
was
the
hours
spent
on
the
bus
rides,
checking
in
at
the
day
lodge
or
actually
riding
the
mountain
with
his
students,
the
improvements
and
skills
achieved
by
the
students,
phil
demon
with
joy
and
pride.
He
always
enjoyed
running
into
his
students
during
the
winter
ski
season
at
alieska
and
witnessed
first-hand
the
green
improvements,
as
his
students
from
the
years
ago,
demonstrated
to
him
from
time
to
time
again.
P
P
The
love
for
the
outdoors
in
the
physical
activity,
a
part
of
our
daily
routine
as
it
has
been
for
these
all
these
years,
demon
would
be
honored
if
all
polaris
students
maintained
his
mentality
throughout
their
daily
routines.
To
have
this
mindset
at
polaris
k12
will
ensure
that
his
philosophy
will
continue
as
each
student
walks
through
the
gym
doors.
Our
family
is
honored.
That
damon
is
remembered
in
this
way.
P
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
As
I
know,
demon
is
looking
down
in
such
disbelief.
Damon
has
made
such
a
positive
impact
at
polaris
and
will
continue
to
do
so
for
so
many
generations
to
come.
Thank
you
for
just
bestowing
this
honor
to
acknowledge
my
husbands
and
dax
father
contributions
to
polaris,
k-12,
school
and
community.
A
Q
Q
Q
Damon
one
of
the
things
that
damon
did
that
you
all
would
find
really
important
was
his
ability
to
connect
with
students.
You
know
we
talk
about.
We
review
scores
every
board
meeting,
but
we
don't
review
very
often
the
connections
we
talk
about
them,
but
but
we
don't
really
have
good
data
on
the
connections
that
are
made.
Damon
had
connections
with
every
single
one
of
his
students
k
through
12..
Q
That
was
one
of
the
positions
he
was
in
and
he
was
able
to
really
to
build
off
that
he
would
offer
incentives
to
some
of
the
elementary
classes
for
additional
physical
activity,
which
allowed
some
of
us
to
experience
and
utilize
additional
planning
time,
but
I
always
knew,
and
the
teachers
always
knew
it
wasn't
for
me
to
have
additional
planning
time.
It
was
to
give
the
students
additional
time
with
him
for
as
an
incentive
to
to
do
something
whether
it
was
jump,
rope
for
heart
or
whatever
type
of
activity.
He
was
encouraging
them
to
participate.
Q
K
G
It's
presented
as
we
need
to
gather
the
opinion
of
every
kid
in
the
school
and
you
as
a
representative
of
your
class,
are
going
to
go
back.
This
is
a
resolution.
This
is
why
we're
trying
to
do
it.
We
want
to
find
out
if
your
student,
you
know
the
kids
in
your
class
support
this
or
they
don't.
It
really
wasn't
a
push
to
to
say.
Yes,
it
was
a
push
to
get
the
feedback,
but
a
number
of
students
talked
about
what
mr
kerry
meant
to
them.
G
A
R
Thank
you,
member
holland,
for
sharing
a
little
bit
about
the
process.
We
had
the
chance
to
speak
with
some
of
the
polaris
students
involved
in
that
process,
as
they
accompanied
us
to
juno,
and
I
think
they
did
their
due
diligence,
and
I
appreciate
that
effort
enormously.
Yes,
and
I
will
be
supporting
this
okay,
I
never.
O
S
H
M
R
T
Thank
you,
dr
bishop.
So
a
little
bit
of
background,
the
current
basic
formula
for
the
calendars
has
really
been
pretty
much
the
same
since
2006
as
far
as
starting
you
know,
prior
to
labor
day,
ending
prior
to
memorial
day
and
so
on.
Since
2006
between
them
and
in
2022,
there
have
been
a
few
minor
changes
overall
to
the
calendar.
Those
are
examples
of
things
like
additional
professional
development
days.
T
I
think
an
asynchronous
learning
day
some
discussion
debate
over
what
to
do
with
the
election
days
for
randy
day.
You
may
remember
that
discussion
from
a
few
years
ago,
but
pretty
much,
the
tweaks
have
been
minor
the
process.
In
october
march
and
april
there
were
three
full
large
meetings
with
a
large
group,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
andrew
ball.
T
If
he's
in
the
room
he
can
wave
in
the
back
there
andrew
was
our
lead
from
the
labor
department
to
work
with
the
groups
to
do
this
and
did
a
very
detailed
look
at
it,
and
we
took
what
we'd
learned
from
all
the
previous
years
of
working
through
calendars
and
they
created
two
basic
calendar
options.
One
we
called
traditional,
which
was
essentially
a
template
from
the
previous
year
and
the
years
before,
that
it
was
basically
the
same
and
then
another
one.
We
called
option
b,
which
was
had
a
couple
little
tweaks
to
it.
T
Those
then
went
out
to
stakeholder
meetings,
and
so
we
met
with
a
student
advisory
boards,
the
various
labor
groups,
various
external
groups
in
the
community
collected
discussions
and
inputs
about
those.
There
were
two
open
public
meetings
they
were
held
for
the
open
public
and
advertised,
and
then,
in
march
and
april,
they
published
a
community
survey
about
those
calendar
options
and
came
out
with
2
700
actual
survey
responses
and
about
990
community
comments.
Then
andrew
personally,
sat
down,
went
through
all
990
comments,
categorized
him
around
topics
and
put
numbers
to
him.
T
So
we
could
capture
what
the
community
was
saying,
and
then
we
made
some
slight
adjustments.
The
the
final
result
of
that
was
the
split
between
calendar.
A
and
b
was
almost
down
the
middle.
There
was
less
than
a
one
percent
difference
in
the
survey
responses,
but
when
you
factor
in
the
community
comments,
it
definitely
went
over
to
the
calendar
b,
so
calendar
b.
T
The
way
it's
a
little
different
is
that
there
is
an
october
9th
indigenous
people's
day
and
there
is
an
april
19th
closure
day
and
those
came
from
feedback
from
the
community
that
were
saying.
That
april
is
a
long
haul
with
not
one
break,
it
is
straight
shot,
and
so
they
put
a
day
in
there
just
to
have
a
longer
weekend.
T
The
other
thing
that
came
from
community
feedback
when
you
factor
in
the
170
folks.
That
said,
I
do
not
like
the
friday
start,
I
think
corey
easton.
I
had
numerous
conversations
about
the
friday
start
days
from
the
educator's
perspective,
and
so
we
tweaked
that
and
changed
it
and
so
you'll
see
on
the
recommended
calendar
that
it
starts
on
thursday,
the
17th,
and
so
that's
pretty
much.
T
What
happened
out
of
those
990
comments,
the
ones
that
had
the
most
traction
were
comments
about
needing
a
day
in
april
wanting
to
see
the
indigenous
people's
day.
That
was
a
really
big
one.
With
the
students,
the
student
advisory
board
was
almost
unanimous
about
really
wanting
to
see
that
on
the
calendar
and
then,
of
course
the
big
one
was
comments
about
the
friday
star
day.
R
Yeah
I
do
actually
I
mean
I
was
trying
to
compare
all
three,
the
the
23
24
through
25
26
calendars.
Speaking
very
personally,
I
really
dislike
the
disruptions,
especially
in
the
month
of
february.
It
just
always
hits
it's
choppy,
but
I
I
know
that's
just
a
personal,
a
personal
opinion,
but
I
did
notice
that
in
the
2324
month
of
february,
looks
a
little
bit
different
than
the
24-25
and
25
26
month
of
february,
because
the
latter
two
years
have
the
parent
teacher
conferences
and
the
what
is
the
23rd.
R
T
T
Well,
I
believe
we've
done
the
due
diligence.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
when
you
lay
out
the
list
of
statutory
and
cba
level,
things
that
are
all
requirements.
The
list
is
about
this
long.
The
reason
things
haven't
changed
dramatically
since
2006
is
when
you
put
in
all
of
the
parameters
you
have
to
work
under.
This
is
what
happens,
and
so
we
get
these
these
glitches,
and
so
I
don't
know,
mr
bell,
if
you
have
anything,
if
you
have
anything
else,
you
want
to
add
to
that.
A
G
One
I'd
like
to
say
this
process
is
probably
in
terms
of
gathering
input
from
lots
of
different
parts
of
asd
and
from
the
public.
The
calendar
committee
is
probably
the
one
we
do
best
at
it's.
A
big
committee
meet
several
times
and
it's
guided
by
by
staff,
but
it
really
does
provide
an
honest
chance
for
people
to
look
at
it
and
do
the
math
and
kind
of
see
how
it's
all
put
together
the
one
and
and
kind
of
understand
some
of
the
problems.
G
O
G
G
A
Back
in
the
day,
I
served
on
a
calendar
committee
and
that's
not
one
of
the
things
I
ever
want
to
do
again
ever
because
it's
just
too
many
moving
parts.
Everybody
has
exactly
a
preference
like
you
stated
and
there's
just
so
much
that
goes
into
it
that
to
change
anything
is
is
going
to
cause
dominoes
in
every
which
way.
So
I'm
not
you
know
unless
there's,
but
we
do
get
to
look
at
it.
A
T
A
H
I
just
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
committee
for
ensuring
that
we
were
returning
to
the
traditional
first
day
of
for
rendezvous
holiday
for
students.
It's
a
professional
development
release
day,
but
at
least
the
kids
can
go
for
a
rendezvous,
and
I've
been
advocating
that
ever
since
I've
been
on
this
board,
it's
been
years.
So
I'm
really
really
pleased
to
see
that
in
these
calendars,
because
that's
just
the
way
it
always
was
when
I
was
growing
up
here
in
anchorage.
C
G
G
Simply
goes,
I
think,
it's
information.
The
board
needs
to
be
aware
of
not
necessarily
information,
they
need
to
act
on
unless
something
appears
as
concerning,
but
we
I
learned
as
a
teacher
in
the
school,
the
most
important
thing
your
principal
really
cares
about.
Is
that
they're,
never
surprised,
and
so
the
idea
is.
The
board
should
never
be
surprised
to
find
out
something
that's
going
on
in
the
district.
Now
that
was
my
motivation
for
submitting
the
changes.
M
U
M
O
A
C
P
C
Sharing
some
information,
we're
going
to
have
our
experts
come
up
to
the
table,
share
the
information
of
our
grants
and
processes
that
are
coming
to
an
end
and
our
new
protocols
as
we
move
into
the
summer.
As
you
are
aware,
if
you
were
on
the
board
last
year,
which
everyone
was
that
the
summer
and
school
break
times
are
when
we
made
those
changes.
So
with
that,
I
present
to
you
our
health
services,
dynamic
team,
please
introduce
yourselves
and
you
may
begin.
V
U
Mcclelland
and
I
am
the
senior
director
of
healthcare
services
and
we're
looking
forward
to
giving
you
guys
an
update
around
the
current
environment
as
we
look
to
close
out
the
air
move
into
summer
and
then
our
evolving
approach
to
covid
and
infectious
diseases.
As
we
look
to
next
year
and
years
beyond,.
V
So
I'll
get
started,
you
can
hear
me
okay,
so
this
year
has
been
yet
another
year.
Changes
for
all
of
us-
and
I
appreciate
all
the
support,
asd
administration
staff
and
school
board
has
shown
us,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
little
history
here
to
start
with,
and
information
about.
What's
currently
going
on
in
our
city,
hospital
admissions
are
finally
down
the
largest
hospital
in
alaska
providence.
V
Alaska
medical
center
only
had
eight
coded
cases
this
past
sunday,
most
of
which
were
incidentals
many
of
the
hospitalizations
over
the
past
two
months,
especially
those
identified
in
children,
are
positive
for
other
respiratory
illnesses,
not
coded
they've
been
things
like
rhinovirus,
adenovirus,
rsv,
parrot
influenza
and
then
the
typical
flu,
just
to
name
a
few
alaska
has
many
copic
protections
available
to
us
now.
The
covid
vaccine,
boosters
monoclonal,
antibodies
antivirals
and
for
many
natural
immunity.
V
V
So
we'll
switch
to
the
next
slide
now,
and
here
are
some
highlights
of
our
plan
to
move
forward.
Some
of
the
changes
are
already
in
place
and
others
are
to
follow
the
beach
tree.
Pcr
testing
will
be
ending,
may
19th
last
day
of
students
in
school.
The
beacon
trailer
contract
also
ends
on
may
19th
summer.
School
nurses
will
move
into
using
antigen
testing
just
for
summer
school
for
june
positives
will
go
we'll,
go
home
and
follow
our
same
protocol
for
cdc
guidelines.
V
Anybody
that's
positive
negatives
will,
with
milder
illnesses,
may
stay
at
school
while
masked,
while
waiting
for
a
second
test,
because,
as
we
know
on
the
antigen
test,
the
first
test
is
not
totally
accurate.
You
have
to
do
two
tests,
we'll
do
the
test,
according
to
the
time
frame,
recommended
by
the
instructions
of
the
type
of
antigen
test,
we're
doing
if
negative.
V
V
V
V
Students
with
symptoms
that
impede
their
learning
will
be
sent
home.
Students
with
milder
symptoms
will
be
evaluated
and
may
be
allowed
to
stay
at
school,
and
not
every
student
will
need
testing
as
what
we've
been
doing
in
the
past,
when
returning
to
school
after
an
illness,
students
and
staff
will
be
required
to
test.
You
will
not
be
required
to
test
before
returning
to
school
after
an
illness
right
now.
If
they
come
back,
the
parent
calls
them
in
sick.
V
V
V
V
We,
the
anchor
school
district,
do
not
have
funding
to
continue
with
testing
and
with
copic
positives
decrease,
decreasing
and
less
severe
illness.
For
those
that
are
positive,
testing
is
really
not
needed
any
further
in
the
school
district
anchorage
school
district
will
get
back
to
educating
our
children
and
keeping
our
children
at
school.
U
U
I'll
go
even
as
far
as
saying
a
lot
of
innovation
and
we've
really
moved
from
this
place
of
uncertainty
to
this
place
of
resource
readiness.
We
we,
as
a
district,
have
had
a
lot
of
practice
and
underpinning
all
of
our
efforts
was
this
idea
of
mitigation.
How
are
we
preventing
the
spread
of
illness
and
then,
in
response
to
that,
we
built
comprehensive
systems
to
support
those
mitigation
efforts.
We
scaled
up.
We
scaled
back
down.
U
We
scaled
back
up
and
we
became
efficient
and
effective
in
all
of
those
mechanisms
and
then,
throughout
that,
as
I
talked
about
with
our
grants,
we
became.
We
learned
how
to
be
a
pivotal
and
excellent
public
health
partner.
We
worked
alongside
federal
state
and
municipal
public
health
parties
to
successfully
navigate
this
pandemic.
U
U
We
know
how
to
respond
to
infectious
diseases
and
as
we
move
forward,
we
need
to
broaden
our
focus
and
and
really
consider
looking
at
all
infectious
diseases
and
underpinning
that
need.
I
want
to
draw
us
back
to
an
example.
Back
in
the
fall
of
2019
roger
rogers
park
had
an
outbreak
you
all
may
recall,
and
it
luckily
it
turned
out
to
be
the
flu
it
was
contained,
but
those
things
will
happen.
U
The
environment
will
throw
things
our
way
that
we
need
to
respond
to,
and
these
last
two
years
have
supported
a
lot
of
innovation
and
learning,
and
we've
built
strong
systems
by
which
we
can
respond
effectively
and
efficiently,
as
we
look
to
the
future,
really
what
we,
what
we
want.
What
we
are
doing
moving
forward
is
codifying
this
learning.
Currently
we
have
annex
10,
that's
our
emergency
operations.
U
Annex
and
really
this
is
a
high
level,
10
000
foot
view
plan
and
it
really
discusses
how
we
will
be
a
partner
as
part
of
a
larger
public
health
response.
What
this
plan
does
not
outline
is
what
it
takes
to
move
this
system
in
response,
so
we
will
be
adding
annex
10.1,
the
infectious
disease
response,
readiness
and
sustainment
plan
really.
U
The
purpose
of
this
is
more
operationally
focused
and
it's
going
to
integrate
the
learning
we've
had
over
the
last
few
years,
and
it's
really
to
create
a
framework
to
sustain
that
continuous
state
of
readiness,
I'm
going
to
describe
a
little
bit.
What
of
what
that
means,
as
we
look
at
the
three
tiers
that
are
outlined
in
this
annex,
there
is
prevention
and
preparedness,
modified
operations
and
school
closures
and
under
prevention
and
preparedness.
U
Also,
broader
distribution
of
sanitizing
solutions
both
at
the
classroom
level
and
at
the
building
level
masks,
will
remain
optional
and
available
in
all
schools
and
then
last
but
not
least,
vaccine
education,
support
and
linkage
we've
been
doing
this
predating
the
pandemic.
Our
nurses
have
really
led
this
effort
for
decades
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
as
we
look
to
the
future
and
next,
as
we
move
into
those
latter
tiers
modified
operations
and
school
closures.
Those
really
build
off
that
first
tier,
where
we
look
at.
U
If
there
is
a
known
outbreak
or
illness,
how
are
we
to
respond
and
we'll
look
through
the
lens
of
group
team
classroom
school
district?
How
are
we
assessing
the
need,
and
then
modifying
and
adjusting
based
on
that?
Really?
The
goal
here
is
that
we
are
nimble
and
agile
to
respond.
We
are
allocating
resources
effectively
and
we're
not
making
a
blanket
response
for
in
a
district
when
we
can
contain
at
the
classroom
or
the
group
level
I'll
again
go
back
to.
U
U
So,
as
we
look
to
the
future,
we'll
really
have
this
annex
to
guide
us
as
we
focus
not
just
on
covid
but
really
on
broader
infectious
diseases
overall,
and
so
we
are
excited,
as
we
close
out
this
year,
to
really
codify
our
learning,
to
send
students
off
to
an
exciting
summer
and
to
hopefully
see
our
numbers,
continue
to
decline
and
and
look
forward
to
next
year.
So
with
that,
we
just
want
to
open
for
any
questions.
H
H
We
need
to
make
an
assessment.
I
think
that
was
a
horrible
failure
for
our
students
and
our
families
and
we're
paying
the
price
for
that
now,
and
we
need
to
prevent
that
from
ever
happening
again.
We
need
an
accurate
assessment
of
what
the
minimum
amount
of
time
instructors
should
spend
with
their
students
in
virtual
learning
and
have
that
incorporated
into
that
contingency
plan.
M
A
M
U
Yes,
I
appreciate
that
clarification.
The
the
10
20
hour
might
have
curtailed
a
little
bit
of
my
presentation,
but
yes,
we
will
the
really
incorporated
in
this,
and
that's
why
the
title
says:
readiness
and
sustainment.
We
really
retained
what
we
could
sustain
moving
forward
and,
yes,
those
supplies
and
equipment
are
prepared
to
head
into
the
next
year,
and
we
through
that
idea
of
relationship
should
there
be
a
need
in
the
future.
We
know
how
to
collaborate
pursue
other
funding,
to
add
those
things
back
in
that
if
needed.
C
C
And
may
I
just
add
that
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
pandemic
it
was
the
preparedness
of
asd
that
supplied
every
hospital
and
every
doctor's
thing,
with
tens
of
thousands
of
face
masks
that
people
didn't
have,
and
so
asd
has
prided
itself
on
being
prepared
and
and
the
operations
folks
and
george
vicalis
for
for
years,
those
connexes
were
purposeful.
Thank
you.
R
G
Also,
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
when,
when
the
clinic
was
operating
in
this
building,
there
was
a
lot
of
staff
from
the
building
doing
logistics.
I
don't
think
you
just
let
you
know
like
the
foreign
languages,
people
stab
people
in
the
arm
or
anything,
but
they
were
directing
traffic
and
doing
things
and-
and
I
think
for
a
lot
of
people,
it
was
like
the
first
time.
We
could
really
do
something
other
than
sit
at
home
talking
to
people
that
normally
don't
have
a
lot
of
contact
with
the
anchorage
school
district.
G
They
were
really
impressed
by
the
organization.
A
lot
of
them
were
really
happy.
They
were
able
to
get
the
vaccine.
That,
of
course,
is
a
central
part,
but
they
really
like
the
way
the
district
did,
what
it
did
and
delivering
it,
and
it
I
I
think,
has
changed
the
outlook
that
a
fair
number
of
citizens
have
towards
the
district
that
that's
that's
been
their
contact.
You
know,
they're
older,
their
kids
have
come
and
gone.
They
they
don't
go
to
school
events,
they're
not
seeing
that,
but
they
came
through
this
building
and
it
was
very
orderly.
G
A
G
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
our
dynamic
duo.
I
now
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
dr
stock,
who
let
me
know
that
this
is
his
last
regular
board
meeting,
because
he
is
just
so.
You
know
he
is
extreme
marathon
runner
and
is
running
over
a
30-mile
race
with
his
sister
to
really
commemorate
and
celebrate
his
brother's
life
that
he
lost
last
year,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
always
being
support
and
also
tag
tame
him
on
this
next
item.
C
T
So,
thank
you,
dr
bishop.
Just
a
couple
of
summer
learning
points.
I
know
it's
getting
late,
but
we
do
have
a
robust
summer
school
plan.
We've
got
about
7
000
students
that
will
be
coming
through
at
28
different
sites.
We've
got
about
2
000
students
getting
specific
transportation
about
just
under
a
thousand
staff
members
that
includes
everything
from
principals
to
paris
and
custodians,
etc.
T
T
We
are
focusing
strictly
on
june,
with
the
exception
of
the
special
ed
extended
school
year
plans
and
the
21st
century
community,
which
is
a
federal
grant.
They
will
continue
into
july,
but
those
our
programs
will
be
through
the
month
of
june.
I
want
to
get
it
something
that
member
lessons
brought
up
in
the
earlier
work
session
today.
T
She
raised
the
question
about
you
know
summer
school,
the
return
on
investment
for
it
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I've
had
a
meeting
with
dr
aches
and
I've
asked
them
to
to
do
a
study
and
we
we're
all
aware
that
summerslide
is
a
real
thing
and
it
happens
in
almost
all
homes.
Right,
kids
are
in
school
for
nine
months
and
then
summer
comes.
T
What
I've
asked
our
assessment
evaluation
team
to
do
is
to
do
a
matched
study
of
our
students
from
who
don't
go
to
summer
school,
with
students
who
do
go
to
summer
school
and
we'll
look
at
the
differences
between
the
spring
and
the
fall.
That's
independent
of
that
to
see
what
kind
of
changes
occur.
Now
we
know
summer
school
is
good
for
kids,
even
if
it
doesn't
show
up
in
those
assessments
right.
C
C
T
C
On
the
bottom
that
are
very
specific,
they
have
much
separate.
They
have
very
discreet
dates,
so
correct,
we'll
get
those
in
there.
Okay,
great
and
finally,
madam
president,
the
the
last
part
of
this
actually
before
I
get
to
this.
I
wanted
to
share
that
administration
has
been
just
recently
notified
by
the
debate
folks
last
week,
in
fact,
during
graduations,
and
we
set
up
a
meeting
for
next
week
to
meet
with
them.
So
it
was
our
surprise
that
they
were
here,
because
we
didn't
even
get
an
opportunity
to
have
a
meeting.
C
We
support
debate
remember
when
middle
schools
changed
their
schedules
and
went
to
seven
period.
Some
of
the
schools
altered
some
of
those
when
they
changed
staffing
when
they
added
that
second
prep
time
in
the
planning
time.
Something
else
went
away.
So
if
you
recall
about
three
years
ago,
when
we
did
that
work
debate
was
one
of
those
things
that
they
made
choices
on,
but
that
this
just
came
up
to
us.
So
we
haven't
even
we've
scheduled
a
meeting
for
next
week.
C
Dr
stock
texted
me
so
did
dr
johnson
and
so
we're
delighted
to
to
meet.
We
just
need
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
Yeah,
so
just
wanted
to
share
with
the
board
and
then
also
because
we
couldn't
meet
last
week.
This
is
what
we
were
doing
celebrating.
Actually,
ten
graduations
occurred
at
the
alaska
airlines
center
and
we
wanted
to
share
just
some
of
the
successes.
C
I
am
just
going
to
share
member
lessons
and
I
got
to
hear
this
at
the
very
end
and
and
the
last
graduation
was
the
middle
college
last
week
at
the
alaska
airlines
center,
and
we
were
surprised.
The
principals
shared
the
class
of
2022
earned
a
total
of
4
267
college
credits,
saving
college
tuition,
value
of
1.1
million
dollars
to
families.
And
again
I
shared
it's
not
free.
C
That
was
some
of
the
words
that
the
kids
use,
but
basically
we
used
the
bsa
smarter
to
for
choices
that
students
wanted
and
eight
students
qualified
for
an
associate's
degree
and
their
high
school
diploma
at
the
same
time
and
they
earned
60
or
more
credits.
One
person
earned
90
credits
a
little
over
90
and
then
two
national
merit
scholar,
finalists
were
there.
He
also
gave
over
the
past
five
years.
C
So
I
want
to
thank
the
board
for
supporting
me
and
an
idea
that
I
had
done
in
a
previous
district
and
the
school
is
in
the
theory
and
the
design
of
it
is
about
nine
years
old.
But
over
the
past
five
years,
just
in
asd
there's
been
1302
students
and
a
total
of
over
20
000
college
credits
with
a
10
million
dollar
savings
to
families,
and
so
it
is
a
true,
really
very
diverse
class
that
attends
there
and
kids
attend
for
different
reasons.
C
But
what
we've
always
done,
whether
it's
partnership,
family
partnership,
king
tech
or
any
one
of
our
home
schools
like
middle
college,
when
they
don't
have
those
other
things
in
schools?
Kids
always
are
allowed
to
keep
one
foot
back
in
for
sports
or
band
in
their
home
school,
and
so
the
support
of
the
high
school
principals,
as
well
as
secondary
to
make
this
work
was
also
really
must
be
mentioned
because
it
doesn't
things
like
this
to
support.
Kids,
don't
have
it
on
their
own
and
it
took
the
asd
team.
C
R
Well,
I
had
some
really
favorite
moments
from
graduation,
but
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
begin
where
dr
bishop
ended.
My
favorite
moment
was
when
she
told
the
graduates
of
the
middle
college
program
to
look
under
their
seats
and
they
all
did
they
were
baffled
and
before
then
they
started
waving
around
dollar
bills,
and
she
said
the
take
home
was
that
you
have
to
move
your
booty
to
make
a
buck,
and
that
was
a
really
good,
take-home
message
and
it
was
effectively.
U
A
R
O
M
M
H
Yeah,
the
school
business
partnership
team
folks
had
their
last
meeting
of
the
school
year,
they're
just
a
great
asset
to
our
district,
and
I
thank
them
for
everything
they
they're
doing.
I
also
had
a
chance
to
attend
the
mirs
4.0
breakfast,
which
I
hadn't
been
familiar
with
that
event
before
it
was
really
exciting.
For
me
to
it's.
When
I
went
to
mirrors,
it
was
in
a
whole
different
building,
but
you
know
they
got
the
new
building
and
it's
it
was.
H
N
H
H
H
S
Yes,
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
again:
congratulations
to
excuse
me
all
of
our
denali
award
winners.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
being
able
to
first
hand,
see
the
work
done
by
the
folks
at
the
child
in
transition
program
for
many
years
and
because
of
their
support
and
always
willing
to
go
out
of
their
way
for
students.
They
have
helped
many
many
students
to
graduate.
I
was
a
little
bummed
that
I
didn't
get
to
celebrate
with
them
in
person
tonight,
but
I
always
appreciate
their
efforts.
S
I
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
the
bartlett
graduation
and
it
was,
it
was
so
very
sweet.
They
presented
me
with
a
corsage,
so
they
said
that
is,
that
is
their
tradition,
and
it
was.
It
was
just
really
nice.
The
the
staff
had
such
great
energy
and
the
students
had
great
energy,
so
I
really
enjoyed
that.
I
also
wanted
to
share
that.
The
communications
committee
is
scheduled
to
take
place
on
wednesday
may
25th
at
noon.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
won't
echo
what
everybody
else
has
said,
but
our
students
did
have
a
wonderful
graduation
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
staff
that
work
with
them
to
make
that
happen,
and
I
want
to
congratulate
their
parents
as
well.
I
remember
jacobs
and
I
attended
the
korean
american
scholarship
event.
A
That
really
was
a
very
short
but
very
nice
event
where
the
korean
american
society
gave
scholarships
to
our
students,
and
that
was
that
was
just
a
wonderful
event.
We
also
did
the
fairview
renaming.
I
want
to
thank
dr
hunt
for
her
work
on
that
it
was
a
little
chilly
outside,
but
the
hearts
were
warm
and
we
all
had
a
really
good
time.
A
I
actually
had
a
good
time
because
I
saw
people
there
that
I
had
seen
in
years.
It
was
great
and
then
for
ropes.
Today,
dr
bishop
and
myself
and
member
lessons
went
over
to
rogers
park
and
I'm
telling
you
they're
I'm
just
blown
away.
There
was
one
kid
they
do.
Rope
stands
for
right
surprises,
something
experienced.
A
Anyway,
one
of
the
sessions
I
had
two
wonderful
sessions,
but
the
one
that
was
absolutely
amazing
to
me
was
a
sixth
grader
who
had
already
taken.
He
did
it
on
s.a.t
study
skills,
s.a.t
sixth
grade
he's,
taken
it
like
five
times
and
he
challenges
himself.
Every
single
time.
He's
teaching
other
sixth
graders.
How
to
do
this?
This?
How
to
take
this
and
study
for
the
sat?
I
don't
think
at
sixth
grade.
I
even
knew
what
the
s.a.t
was.
So
there's
amazing
things
going
on
in
our
district.
I
want
to
thank
everybody.
C
Madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
thing
that
I
didn't
want
to
go
unsaid,
that
secondary
graduations
in
the
planning
really
began
last
august,
and
it
was
dr
kirsten
and
her
team
that
followed
through
with
that.
So
we
all
enjoyed
them
and
we
just
want
to
share
with
you
that
I
know
that
kirsten's
mom's
funeral
occurred
during
that
same
week,
but
we
let
her
know
how
proud
we
were
and
how
really
the
families
loved
it.
C
A
Will
next
year
be
at
the
center
again
good,
because
that
worked
perfectly?
Yes,
yes,
and
the
timing
in
between
the
graduations
was
good
too,
because
people
did
loiter,
they
stayed
out
in
the
parking
lot
a
long
time,
but
it
didn't
matter
because
there
was
time
in
between
any
other
comments
from
anyone
in
the
boardroom
in
our
gallery.
