A
B
B
And
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
already
noticed
that
this
is
a
various
packed
board
meeting
Lots
going
on.
We
would
like
to
start
with
our
teacher
appreciation,
the
Anchorage
School
District
and,
of
course,
the
anchor
School
Board
would
like
to
take
a
minute
or
two,
hopefully
a
little
more
than
a
minute
to
thank
the
amazing
people
who
work
with
our
kids
every
single
day.
B
It
is
a
job
of
commitment
and
passion.
It
is
not
one
that
can
be
duplicated
or
replicated.
Every
teacher
brings
their
authentic
self
to
our
classroom
every
single
day,
and
for
that
we
are
thankful.
Our
students
are
exposed
to
amazing
humans,
doing
amazing
things.
B
So
we
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
share
some
slides
and
to,
of
course
think
all
of
our
educators.
It's
not
just
the
teachers
can't
do
it
alone.
We've
got
amazing
staff
in
every
aspect
of
our
district.
It
just
so
happens
the
official
days
to
recognize
them
all
fall
in
the
same
month.
Almost
I
think
last
week
was
the
principal
appreciation.
B
Today
we
have
our
our
teach.
This
week
we
had
a
national
teacher
appreciation
day
last
week,
and
this
week
we
have
teacher
appreciation.
So
if
you
do
nothing
more
than
write
a
note
or
send
a
text,
just
thank
a
teacher,
so
we
would
appreciate
your
help
with
that
and
I.
Don't
know
if
board
members
wanted
to
add
any
other
comments
to
mine.
B
But
if
you
would
now
is
your
time,
but
I
think
I
spoke
for
all
of
us.
The
sentiments
for
all
of
us
all
righty.
Thank
you
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Kathy
for
the
slideshow.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it
and,
as
I
said,
is
it
time
for
my
Ellie
Ellie
come
you
have
to
stand
up
and
you
have
to
come
up
here.
B
Yeah
and
board
members
think
I
was
doing.
D
E
B
So,
a
few
weeks
ago,
we,
the
board,
wrote
a
letter
of
recommendation
for
Ellie
so
that
she
would
get.
We
were
hoping
that
she
would
get
to
work
with
Senator
Makowski.
Don't
you
cry?
No,
okay
and.
A
You
can
tell
the
rest:
oh
last,
Wednesday
Lisa,
murkowski
called
me
and
I
got
the
internship
so
for
the
month
of
June
I'll
be
in
DC
working
as
a
intern.
B
That's
what
I'm
talking
about
I'm
right
so,
of
course,
on
on
behalf
of
the
board.
We
do
have
a
little
recognition
for
you.
You
have
your
flowers,
you
have
your
little
Banner
your
balloons.
We
also
have
a
little
gift
bag
for
you
and
we
want
to
send
you
off
knowing
that
you
are
valued.
You
have
contributed
to
our
understanding
of
what's
happening
with
our
with
our
with
our
youth,
and
we
expect
to
see
you
back
here
when
you
come
back.
Okay,
Mom
make
sure
she
comes
back
or
I'll.
F
B
B
I
do
want
to
thank
the
Taiko
drum
Club,
comprised
of
students
from
Sand,
Lake
mirrors
and
Diamond.
If
you
got
here
a
little
early,
you
heard
amazing
drumming
and
those
students
are.
We
just
want
to
thank
those
students
and
their
advisors
for
taking
time
out
of
their
schedule
to
add
some
joy
to
our
life.
So
thank
you.

M
The
ASD
grounds
Department
was
responsible
for
snow
plowing,
sanding
and
removal
at
all
ASD
facilities
and
support
buildings
during
a
winter
of
record-breaking
snowfall,
which
we
regularly
refer
to
here
at
the
district
as
snowmageddon
this.
This
team
of
roughly
20
employees
worked
hundreds
of
hours
throughout
the
nights
and
sacrificed
their
weekends
to
get
our
schools
ready
for
learning.
If
students
and
staff
cannot
safely
access
their
place
of
work,
then
the
ASD
is
not
providing
a
safe
environment
for
students
to
learn.
This
team
deploys
to
clear,
roughly
300
acres
of
parking
lots,
driveways
and
fire
Lanes.
B
B
At
this
time
to
celebrate
our
Denali
Award
winners,
we
will
take
a
15-minute
break
and
be
back
in
the
boardroom
at
20th.
So
we
will
take
a
a
recess
and
there's
Refreshments
out
front
yeah,
so
go
out
and
have
a
cupcake
or
piece
of
cake
or
whatever
they
got.
J
K
K
F
F
J
J
N
N
F
F
B
B
So
par
the
other
thing
that
happens
this
time
of
year
is
that
we
adjourn
the
2022-23
school
year
and
welcome
in
the
next
school
year
the
23-24
school
year.
In
a
process
we
call
steiny
dye
I,
don't
know
why
I
can't
get
the
signee
right,
I
can
get
the
diorite,
but
Sunny
die,
so
it
means
we
come
to
conclusion
for
the
current
year
and
then
we
we
move
into
reorganization
restructuring
swearing
in
our
new
member,
our
re-elected
members
in
a
pro
in
a
specific
process.
B
So
with
that,
I
would
like
to
turn
the
gavel
over
to
our
superintendent
until
such
time
as
we
have
voted
on
our
new
officers
for
the
upcoming
year.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
O
All
right
so
as
the
superintendent
of
the
Anchorage
school
district
and
the
interim
chair
of
the
meeting
I
would
like
to
call
this
meeting
back
to
order.
So
at
this
time
I
would
ask
for
Youth
Corps
judge,
Sophie
Scott
and
Alaska
Supreme
Court
Justice
Peter
Musson
to
administer
the
oath
of
office
to
swear
in
our
newly
re-elected
board
members,
member
Donnelly
and
member
Holloman.
F
Before
I
was
a
member
of
the
Alaska
Supreme
Court
I
had
a
long
tenure
as
a
member
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Anchorage
youth
court
and
on
behalf
of
the
Anchorage
Youth
Court.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
Anchorage
School
District
again
for
traditionally
making
the
Anchorage
youth
courts
and
its
chief
judge
a
part
of
this
swearing-in
ceremony
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
chief
judge
Sophie
Scott,
who
will
administradio.
M
O
Thank
you
so
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
brief
at
ease
to
sign
a
notarize
paperwork.
O
C
O
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
we're
going
to
move
on.
Basically,
as
you
can
see,
we
don't
even
have
to
change
chairs
this
week.
This
year
we
just
everybody's
back
in
their
same
position,
but
I
do
thank
the
board
for
their
patience
and
diligence
and
going
making
sure
that
we
had
a
good
process
in
place
to
make
sure
we
we
keep
the
business
of
the
board
going.
B
A
Okay,
so
Sab
or
student
Advisory
Board
had
our
last
meeting
for
the
22-22
school
year.
Oh,
my
goodness,
my
picture
fell
on
Tuesday
April
11th
for
high
schools.
Prom
season
is
coming
to
a
close
and
I
think
they
all
went
pretty
successful
from
what
I
heard
now
it's
time
for
graduation
AC
seniors
last
day
is
Friday
May
12th
in
like
three
days
and
then
graduations
are
being
held
off
all
throughout
next
week.
A
I
believe
most
of
them
are
at
Alaska,
Airlines,
Center,
all
of
them
yeah
the
big,
eight
and
then
the
rest
of
AC
students
still
have
a
few
more
weeks.
But
then
it's
time
for
summer.
For
them
it
has
been
the
biggest
pleasure
of
mine
to
be
the
student
rep
for
the
school
board,
but
I
feel
very
confident,
leaving
it
in
Josh's
hands.
Q
B
O
You,
madam
president,
tonight
we'll
receive
a
high
level
briefing
on
data
and
next
steps
related
to
Safety
and
Security
in
our
schools,
I
Envision.
This
will
be
one
of
multiple
presentations
on
Safety
and
Security.
As
this
is
a
high
priority
and
multi-faceted
topic,
we
want
to
make
sure
there
are
opportunities
to
engage
with
the
board
and
community
so
consider
this
part,
one
of
a
broader
discussion.
Q
All
right,
so
thank
you
for
having
us
this
evening.
We
have
a
few
different
items
that
we're
going
to
share
with
you
in
regards
to
safety.
We
had
a
number
of
questions
from
the
school
board
and
we're
going
to
try
to
answer
most
of
those
through
this
brief
presentation,
the
first,
which
was
what's
kind
of
where
we're
at
with
our
discipline
and
behavioral
data.
So
far
at
this
point
this
year
and
I
want
to
show
these
incidents.
This
is
like
dates.
Q
We
have
the
same
dates
for
each
school
here,
so
this
is
as
current
as
May
1st
for
the
data.
So
looking
at
our
kind
of
the
four
of
the
safety
types
of
occurrences
that
we
would
consider,
assaults
threats,
weapons
of
firearms
weapons
of
other
than
Firearms,
we
have
three
different
years
there.
We
have
a
pre-pandemic
year,
we
have
last
school
year,
and
then
we
have
this
school
year.
If
you
look
at
this
school
year,
compared
to
last,
we
we
have
about
2
000,
less
students
right.
Q
So,
if
you're
looking
at
the
number
of
incidents
in
these
areas
that
are
assaults
from
last
year
are
up
our
threats.
From
last
year
are
up
weapons
with
Firearms
are
down,
but
with
2,
000,
less
kids
and
our
weapons
other
than
Firearms
are
up
from
this
year.
Just
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
explain
is
that
hearing
from
the
schools,
the
actual
severity
of
the
different
incidents
are
very
much
higher
and
of
more
concerned
than
they've
had
in
years
past
go
into
the
next
slide.
Q
We
have
the
alternative
placements
and
the
expulsion
data.
As
of
May
1st.
We
have,
and
we
only
have
two
years
on
this
one
from
the
pre-pandemic.
We
had
alternatively
placed
277
at
this
date
and
as
of
this
date,
this
year
is
201
expulsions.
Pre-Pandemic
was
12,
and
this
year
it's
10.
Q
looking
at
the
top
of
fences
in
these
areas,
especially
with
alternative
placements.
We
look
at
before
the
pandemic,
and
currently
this
year,
those
those
alternative
placements
are
the
top.
One
is
drugs,
but
the
next
two
are
completely
different
from
pre-prandemic.
Q
These
are
the
top
areas,
for
the
alternative
placements
is
fighting
and
assaults
now
and
according
to
the
schools,
when
we're
doing
alternative
placements
it,
it
is
of
concern
a
number
in
the
severity
of
those.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
now
to
Jenny
Knutson,
who
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
threat
assessments,
okay,.
R
Thank
you.
Another
piece
of
information
that
we
look
at
and
monitor
are
our
threat
assessments
and
some
of
the
disciplines
that
you
see
discipline
incidents
and
around
threat
raised
to
the
rise
to
the
level
where
we're
really
going
to
want
to
investigate
a
little
bit
further
and
they
require
a
threat
assessment.
So
threats
indicate
that
a
student
poses
a
danger
to
the
safety
of
school
staff
or
students
through
potential
acts
of
violence,
and
so
we
really
want
to
look
at
this
a
little
bit
closer.
R
When
these
things
happen,
ASD
started
to
implement
threat
assessment
process
in
2019
20
school
year
do
the
due
to
the
pandemic.
It
wasn't
fully
implemented
so
you'll
see
two
years,
the
last
two
years
of
data
on
the
slide,
where
we've
really
started
to
work
on
doing
these
processes
at
school.
R
A
threat
assessment
really
is
a
process
that
we
have
in
place.
Many
school
districts
around
the
country
do
this
as
well,
and
it's
a
process
of
evaluating
the
risk
for
violence,
and
that
is
posed
by
someone
who
really
has
expressed
intent
to
inflict
harm
on
others.
So
this
is
an
area
like
I
said
we're
going
to
investigate
further
and
may
result
in
the
development
of
a
safety
plan
for
the
school
or
that
child.
R
Not
one
person
is
doing
this
in
evaluation
or
assessment,
and
it's
really
includes
the
principal
mental
health,
professional
and
typically
an
SRO
if,
if
available,
and
so
what
you'll
see
on
this
chart,
it
really
follows
the
same
pattern
that
you
saw
with
the
discipline
data
we've
seen
an
increase
from
37
threat
assessments
done
last
year
to
113
to
date
that
are
in
process
or
have
been
finalized
and
completed,
and
this
is
really
a
combination
of
more
awareness
and
training
and
completing
threat
assessments,
as
well
as
incidents
as
you've
seen
with
the
disciplined
data.
R
S
S
S
I
am
hoping
in
June
to
conduct,
maybe
during
a
work
session,
to
go
over
specifically
the
physical
security
side,
because
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
that
Arena
and
I'm
really
anxious
to
share
a
lot
of
our
hard
work
with
you
guys,
but
again
today,
we're
just
going
to
be
talking
mostly
about
training.
Next
slide,
please,
okay
and
so
I
wanted
to
kind
of
show
some
things
that
we
started
new
last
school
year
and
then
our
plans
for
next
school
year.
S
So
at
the
Leadership
Summit
last
summer
we
conducted
a
weapons
handling
course
for
all
principals,
and
that
was
really
a
direct
result
of
starting
to
see
an
increase
in
weapons
being
brought
to
our
schools.
S
So
we
did
conduct
that
and
we
will
continue
to
expand
that
training
and
APD
conducted
that
training
for
us
something
new
we
started
this
year
was
conducting
after
Action
reviews
following
critical
incidents,
so
my
team,
Dr
Knutson,
has
come
out
with
us
APD
when
they're
available
conducts
these
aars
and
that
is
to
obviously
get
feedback
about
the
incident
Lessons
Learned
and
how
we
can
just
improve.
I
think
these
have
been
really
fruitful.
S
We
used
to
have
Secondary
Schools
email
us
when
they
were
doing
our
Alice
drills,
so
we
can
go
out
that
was
interrupted
by
covid,
so
we
do
have
things
in
the
work
to
try
to
put
systems
in
place.
So
we
know
when
drills
are
happening
before
they're
happening
and
not
just
after
the
fact.
So
we
can
actually
go
on
site,
observe
and
provide
immediate
feedback.
You
know
right
on
site,
as
they're
happening
this
school
year,
we've
also
applied
for
four
grants.
You
can
see
them
listed
there.
S
I
do
not
know
yet
if
any
of
these
are
awarded
I'm
hopeful
that
some
of
them
will
be
but
I'm
continuing
to
kind
of
hit
the
ground
running,
with
obviously
with
our
financial
situation
and
anticipating,
still
not
really
being
full
next
year
and
trying
to
find
any
Avenue
I
can
to
get
funding
to
continue
to
install
the
systems
that
we
need.
The
plans
that
we
need
in
the
training
that
we
need.
S
Last
Tuesday,
we
conducted
a
crisis
action
team,
active
attack,
tabletop,
that
was
with
the
superintendent
with
cabinet
members
and
with
other
key
District
leaders.
I
thought
it
was
a
really
fruitful
conversation.
S
We're
hoping
to
meet
again
in
June
to
create
an
action
plan
for
our
like
actual
actionable
next
steps
following
that
and
you
can
see
when
I
talk
about
our
EOC
drills
next
year,
we
really
are
putting
a
bit
of
focus
on
active
attacks
and
our
preparedness
for
them,
and
then,
lastly,
for
this
past
school
year,
as
you
guys,
are
well
aware,
the
be
smart
weapon
safety.
You
guys
passed
a
board
resolution
and
the
superintendent
sent
out
his
letter
and
then
anytime
there
was
a
weapon
found
in
a
school.
S
The
volunteers
from
be
smart,
reached
out
directly
to
that
school
offered
to
go
on
site
and
provide
materials,
gun
locks,
and
they
they
were
successful
in
doing
that
in
several
of
our
schools
this
year.
So
we're
continuing
to
collaborate
on
that
partnership
as
well
and
then
plans
for
next
school
year.
So
everything
that
happened
this
school
year
still
going
to
happen
next
school
year,
just
going
to
continue
to
elevate,
but
we
we
do
have
other
training
that
we're
really
focusing
on
next
year
as
well.
S
So
first
for
our
Emergency
Operations
plan,
we
are
adding
three
annexes
to
that
plan.
We
are
adding
a
cyber
Annex,
a
mental
health
Annex
and
a
home
preparedness
Annex,
and
that's
just
really
an
effort
to
stay
consistent
with
best
practices
for
emergency
plans,
so
we're
working
on
those.
Currently,
we
are
conducting
senior
leader
training
this
August.
There
is
a
group
coming
up
it's,
it's
called
the
Texas
extension
engineering
service
and
it
essentially
they
put
on
emergency
preparedness
classes.
S
They
travel
all
over
the
country,
it's
free
of
charge,
it's
an
amazing
resource
and
they
put
on
really
great
classes.
So
we
are
hosting
the
crisis
leadership
class
and
the
senior
officials
workshop
for
all
hazards,
preparedness
on
top
of
our
leadership
here
at
the
district
I've
also
reached
out
to
our
Community
Partners
in
Anchorage,
because
really
as
as
we
know,
if
a
crisis
happens,
it
involves
everyone
and
we
really
need
to
be
in
lockstep
with
the
Municipality
of
Anchorage,
for
any
response
that
affects
our
schools.
S
So
I
did
extend
that
that
invite
to
Our
Community
Partners
as
well.
S
One
thing
we
are
doing
new
for
next
year
is
training
for
our
safety,
security,
Specialists
and
intervention
coaches
that
are
in
our
schools
and
what
we've
kind
of
landed
on
for
a
consistent,
essentially
mandatory
requirement
for
any
safety
security
specialist
that
is
in
our
secondary
schools.
Is
this
National
Association
of
school
resource
officer,
school
security
training,
so
our
APD
school
resource
officers?
They
go
to
the
National
Association
of
school
resource
officers,
school
resource
officer,
training,
that's
a
requirement
for
them
to
be
an
SRO.
S
So
this
is
the
same
model
but
targeted
for
school
security
officers.
So
the
reason
we
went
with
nazro
versus
any
other
options
is
because
they
really
understand
the
whole
picture
of
what
they're
teaching
in
those
classes
and
what
I
mean
when
I
say
that
is
they're
really
focused
on
best
practices
for
students,
and
they
are
very
in
tune
with
very
quickly
changing
tides,
as
we've
seen,
we
just
saw
the
data.
Nazareth
really
pays
a
lot
of
attention
to
that
stuff
and
they
structure
their
classes
around.
S
You
know
the
most
critical
needs
for
our
students.
You
can
Google
that
they
have
the
agenda
posted,
so
you
can
see
the
details
of
what
what
they
will
learn
at
that
class.
We
are
also
inviting
teaks
back
up
they're
doing
the
crisis
leadership
leadership
class
in
August
they're,
going
to
come
back
up
in
October
and
do
a
when
disaster
strikes
class
for
safety
security
and
that's
really
like
a
baseline,
Emergency
Management.
It's
really
self-preparedness,
but
all
of
those
skills
can
be
used
in
the
school
setting
as
well
and
then
in
November.
S
In
conjunction
with
the
school
nurses,
we
are
hoping
to
host
a
first
aid
and
triage
class,
so
that
will
really
be
kind
of
structured
towards
more
crisis
medicine.
We
have
emergency
action,
first,
aid
teams
that
kind
of
training,
and
then
there
below
you
can
see
our
training
plan
for
next
school
year
with
the
dates
for
the
Emergency
Operations
Center.
So
those
are
the
topics
we
will
be
focusing
on
for
next
school
year.
S
We
are
focusing
too,
with
principal
training
during
our
general
leadership
meetings,
which
we
have
once
a
month
dedicated
time
to
discuss
security
at
every
single
General
leadership
meeting.
So
I'm
really
excited
for
that
opportunity.
It's
rare
that
I
get
consistent
face
time
with
principals,
so
the
Emergency
Management
and
the
crisis
leadership.
Those
are
just
examples
we're
going
to
cover
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
directly
with
principals
next
year
and
then,
lastly,
continuing
to
build
on
the
be
smart
collaboration.
S
We
are
hoping
to
get
them
kind
of
towards
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
do
a
general
leadership
presentation
with
all
the
principals
or
maybe
at
Leadership
Summit.
We
haven't
really
decided
where
that
will
land.
Yet
much
like
we
did
the
fentanyl
presentation,
which
I
think
was
super
impactful
and
we
kind
of
want
to
structure
the
same
thing
for
be
smart.
We're
also
collaborating
with
them
for
community
outreach
events.
They
are
planning
on
going
to
the
clothesline
project.
S
So
if
any
of
you
are
familiar
with
that,
it's
really
great
and
it
really
reaches
a
lot
of
our
families
and
they
will
have
of
supplies
there
and
gun
locks
there
and
really
just
conducting
the
Outreach
that
they
do
and
then,
of
course,
continue.
Direct
Outreach,
as
we
have
these
incidents
in
schools
and
the
volunteers,
will
reach
out
directly
and
go
on
site
as
needed
to
provide
materials.
S
So
that's
it
for,
for
my
part,
I
think.
Maybe
there's
one
more
slide
so.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
we
know
that
threats
to
our
elementary
schools
come
from
outside
and
that's
why
we're
investing
so
much
money
in
hardening
our
elementary
schools,
making
them
harder
to
get
into
by
external
threats
and
improving
the
security
camera
operations
inside
so
that
officers
can
see
inside
schools
during
a
threat,
but
the
threats
to
middle
schools
and
second
secondary
schools
nationally
have
tended
to
come
from,
possibly
even
inside
those
schools.
M
So
about
four
years
ago
this
the
board
passed
a
resolution
asking
the
city
to
expand
the
number
of
of
student
resource
officers,
our
APD
officers
to
include
one
in
each
Middle
School,
at
least.
Currently
we
only
have
one
Middle
School
covered
by
a
resource
officer
and
that's
Clark,
so
no
other
middle
school
has
resource
officers
actually
there
similar
to
their
presence
in
our
high
schools.
M
So
I
think
that
needs
to
be
one
of
our
priorities
in
our
safety
program
is
to
continue
to
assert
who
that
resolution
that
the
board
actually
passed.
This
word
has
passed
and
seeking
to
get
resource
officers
into
our
middle
schools.
Now
we
know
one
of
the
big
problems
here
is
that
the
schedule
for
APD
officers
is
four
days
a
week.
Eight
hours
a
day.
We
don't
need
eight
hours,
we
don't
I
mean
10
hours
a
day.
We
don't
need
10
hours
of
coverage
in
our
schools.
M
We
only
need
about
eight
or
eight
and
a
half
so
that
one
of
the
things
to
do
that
would
expand
and
fully
cover
the
ability
of
those
officers
to
cover
the
existing
schools,
and
possibly
additional
middle
schools
would
be
to
negotiate
or
encourage
the
executive
and
the
assembly
to
negotiate
with
the
Police
Association
employees
Association
to
get
a
letter
of
agreement
to
have
different
hours
for
our
our
sros,
so
we'd
get
more
coverage
to
protect
more
of
our
children
than
we're
current
to
do.
M
So
that's
another
reason
why
negotiating
or
trying
to
get
the
city
involved
in
negotiating
with
the
Police
Association
to
be
able
to
go
to
eight
hours
for
our
sros
and
expand
the
coverage
for
our
to
protect
our
kids
better
that
way
with
the
same
amount
of
hours,
police
hours.
So
I'm
wondering,
what's
what's
your
thoughts
on
adding
that
to
this
agenda
that
you've
presented
to
us
today,
yeah.
S
Through
the
president
to
remember
Donnie
group
points
and
yep,
we
have
actually
been
working
behind
the
scenes.
I'll
speak
to
the
hours
first,
just
because
that's
what
I've
currently
been
involved
in,
we
are
actually
attempting
and
behind
the
scenes
they
talk
to
the
union
and
very
optimistic
about
the
possibility
and
we
are
aiming
for
five
tens.
S
The
reason
we
did
talk
about
eight
hours,
but
with
Elementary
and
all
the
way
to
secondary
what
ends
up
happening
is
sometimes
Elementary
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
having
to
call
patrol,
and
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
gap
with
the
consistency
we
really
prefer
to
have
sros
responding
to
our
schools
for
as
long
as
possible,
so
we
are
aiming
to
have
them
change
to
five
ten
hour
days
and
we
were
looking
at
how
much
that
will
cost
us
to
pay
that
overtime
cost
again.
S
This
is
very
preliminary
information,
but
I'm,
a
big
proponent
I
believe
that
they
should
be
in
school
five
days
a
week.
The
sros
support
it.
Everything
we're
hearing
from
the
union
so
far
is
positive.
So
we
are
planning
to
continue
that
conversation.
I
was
kind
of
hoping
to
have
that
in
conjunction
with
any
school
start
time
decisions
that
are
made.
It
might
be
a
good
time
to
implement
that,
so
we
definitely
are
exploring
that
option
in
terms
of
Staffing.
That's
a
much
harder
one.
S
Apd
is
very,
very
low
stacked
right
now,
we've
been
short
sros
for
the
last
two
years,
so
we're
already
kind
of
understaffed
and
until
APD
can
get
to
full
Staffing
I,
don't
think
at
least
right,
not
right
now
or
for
the
next
year.
We
will
have
success
with
requesting
even
more
because
we
can't
even
get
the
minimum
right
now.
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
Man,
president.
Just
explain
why
that
point
is
so
important
to
the
public
in
secondary
schools
or
middle
schools
and
our
high
schools.
We
need
an
SRO
physically
present
in
those
schools
to
defend
them
against
potential
internal
threats,
because
the
time
frame
there
is
different
and
it
it's
I,
just
think
it's
an
essential
safety
measure
to
have
an
SRO
in
every
one
of
our
middle
schools,
as
well
as
in
our
high
schools.
M
K
Partly
this
is,
it
might
be
good
if
we
were
able
to
clarify
our
position
because,
from
my
understanding,
I
think
there's
a
danger
of
implying
to
the
public
that
the
sros
are
there
to
guard
the
schools
and,
to
my
knowledge,
that's
never
been
the
case
at
most,
we've
had
an
SRO
per
high
school,
but
they
actually
covered
middle
schools
and
Elementary
in
the
community,
and
so
they
were

at

The
building
during
all
school
hours
would
be
a
change
from
from
what
we've
done
historically
I
also
would
would
object
to
the
district
covering
the
cost
per
se.
I've
always
been
advocate
that
it's
part
of
APD
and
should
come
out
of
their
budget,
so
I
I,
don't
know
if,
if
Madam
president
might
want
to
create
a
position
paper,
I
think
the
the
perceptions
people
have
vary
because
sros
are
used
very
differently
in
different
parts
of
the
country
and
I
I.
K
Don't
know
that
our
situation
is
unique,
but
it's
definitely
not
the
same
as
as
some
other
places,
I
I've
for
one
was
stunned.
That
Uvalde
has
its
own
Police
Department
as
a
school
district.
That
startled
me,
I
I
can't
imagine
that
happening,
but
obviously
it
does,
but
it
might
be
good
if
we
had
Clarity
on
it
just
for
board
members.
So
we
do
understand
what
we
consider
normal
right
now
and
what
we
consider
aspirational
in
the
future,
but
that
that
would
be
a
huge
expansion
of
of
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
B
Thank
you,
member
Holloman
and
I
think
that's
a
discussion
that
we
probably
need
to
have
either
at
governance.
I,
don't
know
that
we'll
have
time
during
the
retreat,
but
certainly
during
governance.
B
Other
comments,
questions,
I
appreciate
the
information
appreciate
your
time
and
we
will
look
forward
to
part
two
and
maybe
a
part
three.
Thank
you
guys
very
much.
Any
final
comment
stuff
right.
No.
B
Okay,
that
brings
us
to
item
h
on
the
agenda.
We
will
resume
our
goal
monitoring
next
at
our
next
meeting,
which
is
on
the
23rd.
B
So
this
brings
us
to
our
first
public
comment
period
on
our
agenda.
B
For
those
who
have
signed
up
to
provide
public
comment,
the
board
has
set
aside
an
hour
time
slot
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
for
public
comment.
B
Public
comments
in
excess
of
the
hour
I
will
be
heard
at
the
second
opportunity,
which
is
at
the
end
of
our
meeting,
or
you
may
submit
your
comments
in
writing
during
public
comment
board
members
will
not
answer
questions
or
engage
in
discussion.
It
is
a
Public's
time
to
speak
and
the
board's
time
to
listen
the
school
board
welcomes
the
public,
welcomes
the
public
to
observe
and
contribute
to
our
meetings
through
their
comments.
Do
your
letters,
however,
to
be
productive.
Our
meetings
must
be
structured
and
civil.
B
B
Those
rules
require
that
the
board
and
public
be
civil
and
respectful
of
each
other's
opinions
and
statements
and,
as
you
entered
the
boardroom,
there
is
a
blue
and
white
handout
that
goes
over
the
requirements
for
our
orderly
meetings
within
our
boardroom.
B
No
profanity
or
foul
language
refrain
from
disturbing
the
meeting,
which
really
means
no
cheering
Applause
outbursts
or
waving
of
signs
or
posters.
If
you
have
handouts
that
you
wish
to
share,
you
may
hand
them
to
Ms
Foster
here
to
my
left
and
she
will
make
sure
each
board
member
will
get
one.
B
So
as
president
of
the
board,
it
is
my
duty
to
enforce
these
Rules
of
Civility
and
decorum
as
such
and
consistent
with
Robert's
Rules
of
Order
I
have
the
authority
to
rule
any
speaker
out
of
order
for
violating
the
violation
of
the
rules
and
or
fail
to
conduct
themselves
in
a
civil
manner,
and
so,
with
that
framework
we
are
ready
to
begin.
Our
public
comment
in
person
I'd
like
to
call
Robin
pekrow.
B
B
E
You
probably
know
I
have
a
sped
endorsement
and
I
am
very
aware
of
how
much
extra
effort
a
student
with
a
504
puts
in
in
order
to
keep
up
with
class
work,
I'm
aware
that
schools
have
emails
for
parents
and
Guardians
and
would
like
you
to
do
your
part
by
issuing
a
directive
or
whatever
it's
called
to
ask
all
language
arts
teachers
to
send
out
their
official
reading
list
for
next
fall
and
also
to
put
in
an
alternative
book.
E
E
Foreign
truth,
patriotism
and
pride
in
oneself.
Please
help
all
our
students
to
meet
reading
goals
in
the
future
by
giving
them
a
head
start.
Please
help
them
with
books
that
they
will
be
needing
to
read
for
next
year
and
have
a
chance
to
think
about
it.
Before
the
school
year
starts.
I
appreciate
you.
B
T
Hello
school
board
members
I'm
a
teacher
at
ASD
I'm
here
to
ask
why,
on
the
radar
is
no
longer
accessible
for
teachers
on
the
radar?
Is
a
Weekly
Newsletter
put
out
by
the
district?
Technically,
it
is
for
principals,
but
until
last
week
it
was
also
available
to
staff
on
the
district
website
under
staff
resources.
It
is
a
great
resource
for
finding
out
about
what
is
going
on
in
the
district.
There's
information
about
testing
windows
and
scores
information
from
the
state
information
about
principal
changes,
information
about
upcoming,
trainings
lots
of
info.
T
None
of
this
information
is
controversial.
I've,
never
read
anything
in
it
that
could
not
be
shared
district-wide.
Unfortunately,
starting
with
the
May
4th
2023
Edition
teachers
are
now
blocked
from
reading
on
the
radar.
No
explanation
was
provided
as
to
why
teachers
are
blocked.
Teachers
have
been
told
that
only
principals
and
administration
have
access,
and
principals
will
pick
and
choose
what
information
they
feel
is
relevant
to
share
with
teachers.
There
are
two
problems
with
this.
First,
it's
insulting
the
teachers,
as
stated
above,
there
is
nothing
included
in
on
the
radar
that
to
be
hidden
from
teachers.
T
The
district
should
be
happy.
There
are
teachers
taking
the
time
to
inform
themselves
about.
What's
going
on,
teachers
are
part
of
the
team.
We
need
to
be
informed.
Secondly,
when
each
principal
is
picking
and
choosing
what
information
to
share
and
then
sharing
it
through
their
own
lens,
there's
not
consistency
within
the
district.
Each
school
is
being
told
different
things
by
their
principal
and
then
operating
differently.
T
If
ASD
wants
to
see
changes
implemented
district-wide,
there
has
to
be
a
shared,
consistent
message
in
closing
I'm
asking
the
school
board
members
to
help
get
teachers
back
their
access
to
on
the
radar
classroom.
Classroom
teachers
are
professionals
and
should
be
allowed
to
pick
and
choose
for
themselves
what
information
they
want
to
learn
about.
They.
B
Let's
try
Sherry
streisek.
U
U
As
I
understand,
the
ACT
requires
that
all
meetings
of
a
public
entities
governing
body
be
open
to
the
public.
That
requires
that
the
public
be
given
reasonable
notice.
If
I
cannot
be
a
member
of
the
committee,
which
has
enormous
power,
I
only
ask
to
be
present
at
the
committee's
meetings,
because
I
want
to
hear
the
thinking
behind
the
decisions
that
are
made.
U
If
11
people
can
keep
a
book
from
being
challenged
for
three
years,
I
want
to
know
the
reason
why
the
book
is
being
held
in
trust
for
those
three
years
by
ASD
through
this
cland
Einstein
operation.
I
want
to
know
the
deliberations
in
real
time,
not
as
they've
written
a
report
I'm
asking
specifically
about
the
recently
challenged
transgender
book
called
George
rename
Melissa
I
also
have
doubts
about
the
qualifications
and
impartiality
of
the
committee.
U
Do
second
concern
is
the
purchase
of
books
with
taxpayer
money
which
appeared
to
be
anti-American
propaganda,
indisputable
pornography
and
leaves
parents
with
doubts
about
the
curricular
value
of
some
books
when
taxpayers
and
ASD
sponsors
prove
a
graphic
novel
such
as
The
Kite
Runner
by
Khalid
hosini
I
would
like
to
read
you
the
following
quote
from
this
book:
the
guy
next
to
him
made
a
circle
with
the
thumb
and
middle
finger
of
one
hand
and
poke
the
middle
finger
of
his
other
hand.
Through
the
circle
hooked
in
and
out
in
and
out,
I
knew
your
mother.
U
Did
you
know
that
I
knew
her
real
good
I
took
her
from
behind
that
Creek
over
there
the
soldiers
left,
one
of
them
made
a
squealing,
sound
I,
told
Hassan
to
keep
walking
keep
walking
with
a
tight
little
sugary
blank.
She
had.
The
soldier
was
singing
shaking
hands
with
the
others
and
grinning
more
objections
to
this
book.
The
Kite
Runner
also
include
a
same-sex
gang
rape
of
a
boy
and
the
depiction
of
distrust
in
adults.
This
book
was
banned
in
Afghanistan
because
it
showed
ethnic
groups
in
bad
light.
U
B
First
of
all
before
we
leave
public
comment,
the
written
comment
that
the
board
has
received
is
available
and
attached
to
the
to
the
agenda
as
well.
That
brings
us
to
our
consent,
agenda
item
J.
C
And
president
I
moved
to
I'm
sorry
first,
would
you
like
to
feel
to
see
if
there's
any
board
member
wishes
to
pull
an
item.
J
B
K
B
Moved
in
second
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented,
which
includes
memorandum,
number
one,
four,
six,
one:
thirty,
seven,
one:
four
zero
and
one
four
four:
is
there
any
opposition
to
the
approval
of
the
consent
agenda?
B
C
Madam
president
I
move
to
approve
the
expulsion
of
students
associated
with
ASD
incident
numbers,
one
three,
six,
four,
three:
five:
seven
and
one
three:
six:
five:
seven:
seven:
nine.
As
discussed
in
the
executive
session.
K
B
In
second
to
approve
the
uncontested
student
hearings,
incidents
number
one
three,
six,
four,
three:
five:
seven
and
one
three:
six:
five:
seven:
seven:
nine.
As
discussed
in
executive
session,
is
there
any
opposition
to
the
motion
to
approve
foreign
and
saying
none.
C
B
And
we
have
it's
been
moved
in.
Second,
before
we
discuss,
we
have
some.
V
Thank
you
so
I'm,
a
parent
of
two
kids
in
ASD
Elementary
in
high
school
and
I'm,
also
an
ASU
employee,
I'm,
a
nurse
in
a
middle
school
and
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
school
start
times.
There's
been
such
a
lack
of
attention
to
it
really
poorly
covered
in
the
media.
I
was
only
aware
because
I'm
working
in
a
school,
sorry
I'm
lucky
my
dog.
V
For
this
fall
you're
talking
about
making
a
huge
change
with
like
three
months
notice,
so
for
people
like
me,
who
have
a
kid
in
elementary
with
them
getting
out
earlier,
we're
looking
at
an
increased
need
for
child
care,
which
is
already
500
to
800
a
month,
and
that
is
probably
going
to
increase
bye.
V
You
know,
with
the
extra
hour
added
in
the
programs
that
do
have
hiccup
service
at
schools
are
very
limited
and
not
all
schools
need
to
have
come
on
sorry.
You
have
an
after-school
program
available.
V
V
The
kids
aren't
going
to
have
daylight
during
the
winter,
because
they'll
be
going
to
school
when
it's
dark
and
then
they'll
be
coming
home
here
when
it's
dark
because
they
don't
have
any
recess
and
then
it's
going
to
be
a
transportation
problem
for
them
too,
because
their
parents
are
either
going
to
be
losing
work.
Hours
to
get
their
kids
to
school
later
or
the
kids
are
gonna
have
to
get
themselves
across
town.
V
V
But
you
know
we
depend
on
them
for
child
care
to
be
home,
for
the
younger
kids
they're
going
to
be
losing
out
on
after
school
work.
B
V
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Miss
Burns.
Your
time
is
up
in
the
Board
Room
I'd
like
to
call
Philip,
Walters
and
Corey
ain't
to
the
front.
Please.
W
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
My
name
is
Philip
Walters
I'm,
a
parent
of
two
ASD
elementary
students,
a
greening
Middle
School
band
teacher
and
Coach
I,
also
taught
at
Bartlett
High
School
for
eight
years
to
be
direct
I.
Ask
that
you
reject
the
recommendation
by
ASD
Administration
to
completely
change
school
start
times.
The
proposal
they
put
forward
will
create
an
incredible
hardship
on
a
huge
portion
of
ASD
families,
while
not
actually
solving
the
problem.
W
Having
elementary
schools,
let
out
in
the
middle
of
the
afternoon,
puts
parents
who
are
working
nine
to
five
jobs
in
the
impossible
situation
of
having
to
either
pay
for
expensive
child
care
if
they
can
find
it,
which
is
a
big
if
or
quit
their
job
to
become
a
stay-at-home
parent
either.
Choice
has
a
massive
Financial
impact
on
families
who
are
already
struggling
in
tough
Economic.
Times
I
know
that
if
these
changes
go
through
either
my
wife
or
I
will
have
to
quit
our
job
to
be
able
to
care
for
our
nine
and
five-year-old
Sons.
W
As
the
waitlist
for
programs
like
campfire,
are
years
long,
we've
been
on
a
wait
list
for
four
years.
Anchorage
does
not
have
the
infrastructure
to
support
the
child
care
needs
that
would
result
from
this
change.
Nor
does
it
demonstrate
any
sort
of
capacity
to
gain
the
infrastructure
to
support
this
in
the
long
term.
There's
a
nationwide
Child
Care
shortage,
and
this
change
would
only
exacerbate
the
problem
in
Anchorage.
Middle
School
sports
will
be
badly
affected
by
this
as
well
practices
ending
at
6
PM.
How
late
will
meets
and
matches
go?
W
W
W
Elementary
needs
to
finish
last
because
they
do
not
have
the
numerous
after
school
activities
at
middle
school
and
high
school
students
do
all
of
this
so
that
high
schoolers
might
possibly
get
more
sleep.
I
get
that
I
did
6
30
jazz
band
for
eight
years
at
Bartlett,
High,
School
I
get
that,
but
more
likely
students
will
just
stay
up
later
and
be
just
as
tired.
The
next
day,
I
have
students
who
brag
about
staying
up
till
4am
playing
video
games.
It's
almost
like
a
challenge
to
them.
New
school
start
times
cannot
offset
responsible
parenting.
W
Making
students
go
to
bed
turn
off
the
screens
turn
off
the
games,
turn
off
the
phones,
I
get
the
theory
behind
it
and
it
is
possible.
It
will
have
a
positive
impact
on
Strong
high
school,
but
there's
no
way
that
the
benefits
will
outweigh
the
negative
consequences.
These
changes
will
have
on
our
elementary
and
middle
school
families
if
we
truly
want
to
do
what's
best
for
all
kids
and
their
families,
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
what
is
best
for
all
kids
and
their
families.
W
It
brings
to
mind
the
Hippocratic
or
opposed
first
Do
no
harm
I
can
tell
you
firsthand.
These
changes
will
be
harmful
to
an
elementary
and
middle
school
families,
instead
of
turning
the
whole
ASD
schedule
on
its
head
and
creating
so
many
new
family.
New
hardships
for
ASD
families,
I
propose
a
simple
solution:
move
all
school
start
times
back.
30
minutes
that
way.
The
infrastructure,
the
Anchorage
families
already
have
in
place
can
work
for
all
of
us
instead
of
trying
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
Thank
you.
B
X
Thank
you,
president
Bellamy
and
the
ASD
school
board.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
from
the
community
and
your
staff
on
this
very
important
topic.
School
start
times,
I'd
like
to
bring
some
additional
context
to
this
topic.
As
of
May,
1st
ASD
has
had
approximately
350
aea
resignations.
We
are
on
course,
for
a
record
number
of
Educators
leaving
the
Anchorage
School
District
this
year.
50
of
those
Educators
resigning
are
in
their
first
five
years
of
education.
X
We
are
bleeding
our
youngest
educators,
the
ones
we
just
hired
the
ones
we
just
trained
the
ones
we
just
invested
in
we're
doing
this
at
an
alarming
rate
by
August.
We
should
easily
witness
over
400
resignations
this
year
and
although
you
will
hear
from
some
that
these
numbers
align
with
past
resignation
numbers
this
is
a
record-breaking
number.
X
Why
you
ask,
because
each
year,
as
the
number
of
resignations
increases,
the
number
of
your
Educators
or
FTE
has
decreased
ASD
had
over
3
500
aea
Educators
on
staff
in
2011.
this
year,
ASD
barely
has
three
thousand
remember
the
pool
to
replace
these
400
Educators
is
exceptionally
shallow.
With
few
applicants,
in
fact,
there
are.
Maybe,
as
many
as
zero
or
close
to
zero
special
education
teacher
applicants,
even
Elementary
Ed
positions
are
currently
hard
to
fill
with
30
unfilled
positions
for
next
year.
X
So
how
does
school
start
times
fit
in
your
Educators?
Have
mixed
opinions
on
this
topic
about
it
about
a
third
are
in
favor,
a
third
against
and
a
third
who
have
no
opinion
and
are
fine
either
way.
One
group
of
Educators,
although
has
been
reaching
out
over
the
last
few
weeks,
Middle
School
Educators,
who
have
children.
Some
are
single
mothers.
X
X
If
you
approve
these
new
school
start
times,
you
need
to
adopt
a
plan
to
support
after
school
care
programs
for
your
staff
and
possibly
the
community
as
a
whole.
A
staff
specific
after-school
program
may
look
different
from
the
after
school
programs
currently
operating
in
our
schools.
Hence
ASD
needs
to
think
differently
about
supporting
our
staff.
We
cannot
afford
to
shed
more
educators.
X
Several
Middle
School
Educators
shared
that
they
may
need
to
resign
from
their
teaching
position
without
child
care
for
their
children.
Ultimately,
it
won't
matter
when
school
begins.
If
we,
if
educators,
are
not
there
to
welcome
the
students,
we
need
our
Educators
all
of
our
educators.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
D
D
So
I
set
out
as
a
single
parent
to
begin
to
bid
on
houses
all
eight
bids
that
I
did
went
for
over
fifty
thousand
dollars
over
asking
price,
as
well
as
over
the
actual
value
of
the
home.
And
after
many
months
of
doing
this,
I
was
forced
to
move
to
Palmer
in
order
to
qualify
for
a
house
that
I
would
be
able
to
afford
which
that
worked
for
us,
because
we
made
the
commitment
knowing
that
school
started
the
times
in
which
we
were
starting.
D
So
this
year
we
wake
up
at
5
45
in
the
morning
to
get
to
elementary
school
on
time.
This
has
been
a
big
adjustment
for
my
elementary
school
students
and
my
middle
school
student,
but
it
was
something
that
we
knew
that
we
could
be
able
to
do
and
a
commitment
we
knew
going
into
it
as
we
purchased
a
home
in
the
valley,
with
inflation
at
8.5
percent
the
highest
since
1982
and
the
market,
the
tightest
that
it's
been
in
decades.
The
ability
to
move
and
make
changes
is
challenging.
D
Many
teachers
are
in
this
similar
position
and
having
this
approval
so
close
to
the
end
of
the
school
year.
Teachers
are
going
to
be
in
that
similar
position
and
have
to
consider
whether
they
are
going
to
move
levels
or
quit
their
jobs.
I
love
teaching
in
elementary
school
I
love
being
in
leadership
at
elementary
school.
The
problem
is,
is
if
their
school
start
time
happens,
we're
going
to
go
from
having
to
awake
at
5
45
a.m,
to
4
45
AM.
B
D
D
I
just
wanted
to
give
this
something
to
look
at
as
I
wonder
if
the
board
has
taken
a
look
at
some
of
the
research,
because
in
my
preliminary
research
for
adjusted
school
start
times,
they
did
not
find
fruitful
outcomes
in
two
specific
demographics
in
Northern
and
harsher
climates
that
are
similar
to
Alaska,
as
well
as
communities
with
a
high
number
of
schools
receiving
Title
One
funds
similar
to
ASD
and
the
final
one
in
the
third
sorry.
The
third
demographic
is
communities
without
a
strong
public
transportation
system.
Without
all
three
of
these
Oren.
B
Y
Hello,
Madam
presidents
and
Bellamy
and
fellow
school
board
members.
As
you
all
know,
I'm
Rosalind,
Grady,
White
I,
am
the
President
and
founder
of
acbe,
a
mother
of
five
one
on
their
way
to
a
public
high
school
go
Bears
and
three
in
elementary
school.
First
and
foremost,
I
would
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
the
Educators
out
there
as
an
inspiring
educator
receiving
my
student
teacher
authorization
certificate
today
from
the
state
of
Alaska.
Y
The
journey
has
definitely
been
a
journey
and
I
just
want
to
say,
put
some
respect
on
your
name,
and
we
have
some
work
to
do.
I
am
here
today
with
to
voice
my
concerns
over
time.
Change.
I've
asked
this
question
time
and
time
again,
who
are
all
the
stakeholders
that
are
supporting
this
change?
There
was
a
survey
done,
but
no
one
has
made
mention
to
who
took
this
survey
what
the
demographics
came
from,
which
I
think
is
really
important,
because
when
I
watch
the
town
hall
meetings,
I
didn't
see.
Y
Another
thing
that
is
important
to
me
is:
does
this
support
in
the
support?
Does?
Does
change?
Does
it
does
this
change
affect
those
that
are
in
disenfranchised
neighborhoods?
As
we
know,
a
lot
of
data
never
includes
those
that
are
in
disenfranchised
and
I'm
really
concerned
about
those
voices
that
are
not
being
heard.
Child
Care
is
no
better.
Last
week
and
I
don't
have
faith
that
it
will
be
better
in
three
months
or
more.
Alaska
is
one
of
seven
states
that
charge
for
child
care
like
you're
going
to
college.
Y
This
also
is
not
Equitable
in
every
school.
Some
schools
have
21st
century
and
others
have
campfire,
which
are
both
completely
have
different
Insurance
qualifications,
which
leads
me
to
say
that
I'm
worried
about
a
majority
of
houses
that
function
differently
from
one
another,
because
everyone's
households
are
not
the
same.
You
do
have
middle
schoolers
and
high
schoolers
that
look
out
for
their
little
siblings,
so
that
single
parents
like
I,
can
continue
to
work
or
will
be
at
work
and
cannot
be
at
home
until
work
is
over.
Y
What
are
the
plans
to
fix
the
chronic
absenteeism
we
are
currently
facing?
Have
anyone
actually
gone
into
their
Title
One
schools
and
sat
in
classrooms
or
elementary
students
are
exhausted
in
the
morning
because
they
have
to
be
to
school
at
9,
00
am,
and
now
you
want
the
same
Littles
to
be
at
school
at
8am.
Everyone's
households
are
not
the
same.
If
we're
going
to
talk
about
anything,
we
should
talk
about
setting
attendance
goals
and
social
aspects
of
going
to
school.
Y
Z
Thank
you
good
evening
board
members
I
come
to
you
today
as
a
parent
and
an
ASD
employee,
but
also
for
a
lot
of
my
co-workers
and
families
in
the
community
who
are
unable
to
be
here
tonight.
I
am
concerned
about
the
rushed
nature
of
this
decision.
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
topic
of
discussion
since
January
and
I
participated
in
the
zoom
meeting
and
filled
out
the
survey,
but
the
fact
that
that
a
recommendation
has
and
a
decision
was
made
moving
forward
that
was
brought
to
my
attention
via
Facebook
I.
Z
Z
Dr
Brian's
recommendation
was
not
included
in
his
previous
newsletter
that
did
go
out
to
the
school
staff,
nor
was
it
on
the
ASD
website
until
today,
stating
in
the
hot
topics.
When
you
go
look
at
where
it
talks
about
school
start
times
up
until
today,
it
was
not.
The
recommendation
was
not
there.
Z
This
is
very
alarming,
and
teachers
do
not
have
the
opportunity
to
change
schools
at
this
point.
If
that
you
know
if
the
new
start
times
don't
work
for
them
as
Staffing
is
done
and
positions
have
been
filled.
As
previous
testimonies
have
said,
parents
are
going
to
be
scrambling
for
child
care.
We
know
there
is
a
serious
lack
of
child
care
facilities
in
our
city.
Many
parents
in
our
community
depend
on
the
current
school
start
times
to
schedule
their
work
and
family
obligations,
and
they
have
structured
their
work
around
these
current
School
times.
Z
The
community
will
not
have
time
to
respond
to
this
new
level
of
child
care
needed
in
a
sufficient
amount
of
time,
as
this
is
just
a
few
months
away.
Community
child
care
facilities
already
have
a
year
or
longer
wait
list
for
kids.
So
how
will
families
be
able
to
find
child
care
in
less
than
three
months?
Z
Z
I
am
particularly
worried
about
Middle
School
start
times,
as
in
my
school
I
see.
We
are
already.
We
already
have
a
coaching
deficit
for
sports,
and
if
practices
are
starting
at
4
15
going
until
4
45
45,
there
will
be
a
barrier
for
hiring
and
retaining
coaches.
Students
will
be
forced
to
either
stay
up
later
for
practices
and
games
and
events
diminishing
family
time
and
time
for
homework,
and
if
these
practices
move
to
the
morning
when,
where
is
more
time,
then
we've
defeated
the
whole
purpose
of
why
we
are
recommending
to
make
this
change.
B
Okay,
we're
going
to
move
online,
Celeste
Groudon.
AA
That's
all
right!
My
name
is
Celeste
Hodge,
Groudon
and
I.
Am
the
president
and
CEO
of
the
Alaska
Black
Caucus,
the
Alaska
Black
Caucus
Champions,
the
lives
of
black
people
and
the
areas
of
Health
economics,
education
and
Justice.
I
want
to
go
on
record
using
my
voice
tonight
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
voiceless,
those
you
didn't
see
or
hear
from
at
the
Town
Halls
regarding
the
proposed
adjustment
to
school
start
times,
but
who
felt
comfortable
enough
to
share
their
concerns
with
the
Alaska
Black
Caucus.
Those
missing
voices
belong
to
the
communities.
AA
It's
not
enough
to
say
we
invited
everyone
and
they
just
didn't
show
what
I
heard
from
parents
is
that
they
will
be
challenged
greatly
by
the
proposed
adjustment
to
school
start
times,
because
they
need
their
jobs
and
have
little
to
no
flexibility.
When
it
comes
to
work
times.
We
know
many
families
from
the
communities
I
serve
won't
have
options,
they
don't
have
the
comfort
of
taking
leave
or
adjusting
their
work
time.
The
one
hour
delay
on
Mondays
is
also
challenging
for
families
who
have
to
work
multiple
jobs.
AA
The
proposed
start
time
creates
challenges
for
families
struggling
with
child
care
issues.
To
begin
with,
let
alone
time
to
find
one
day
with
a
one-hour
delay.
Many
families
rely
on
older,
siblings
for
child
care,
as
you've
heard
already.
This
is
complicated
in
the
afternoon
when
elementary
students
are
released
earlier
than
their
siblings.
Not
every
family
can
afford
the
luxury
of
staying
home
with
their
children
in
this
economy,
especially
especially
in
communities
of
color.
Some
schools
are
already
struggling
with
attendance.
How
will
this
further
impact
such
status?
AA
B
AB
For
example,
Mountain
View
majority
of
the
parents
still
don't
have
reliable
internet.
So
how
would
they
take
an
internet-based
survey?
A
lot
of
the
people
in
our
community
speak
a
different
language.
So
what
were
the
language
access
options
at
the
Town
Hall?
There
was
barely
anybody
brown,
so
they
clearly
weren't
there.
So
who
was
the
majority
of
they
that
supported
the
survey
that
was
taken?
Other
questions
that
could
be
asked
that
would
help
drive
home.
This
point
is
for
the
people
who
took
the
survey:
were
they
one
or
two
parent
households?
AB
Did
they
have
a
car
or
no
car?
Did
they
ride
the
bus
or
no
bus?
Does
their
school
have
buses
or
was
it
a
walking
school?
Do
they
have
older
children
who
watch
their
kids
after
school?
Where
do
they
currently
go
to
for
child
care,
but
we'll
be
there
after
school
plan
or
their
morning
plan
and,
most
importantly,
because
we
already
have
a
fragile
system.
Are
these
current
daycare
providers
prepared
to
make
this
level
of
change
in
90
days,
such
as
campfire,
Boys
and
Girls,
Club
Trailside
and
all
the
others
to
accommodate
these
changes?
AB
And,
lastly,
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
need
to
revise
the
data
collection
and
look
at
this
a
little
bit
better,
because
there
really
were
a
lot
of
voices
that
just
were
not
heard,
and
it's
not
sufficient
enough
to
just
say
the
majority
who
took
it
agreed.
If
we
have
no
idea
who
the
majority
is
and
I
was
only
the
rest
of
my
daughter.
AB
No
I'm
kidding,
and
so
in
closing,
we
always
look
forward
for
things
that
are
going
to
be
Innovative
and
help
our
students,
but
it
just
wasn't
thorough
enough.
It
wasn't
an
equitable
rollout
and
90
days
literally
is
way
too
fast
of
a
turnaround
time
to
ask
this
level
of
families
to
change
their
course
of
action
for
school,
or
to
ask
these
employers
and
child
care
providers
to
change
their
whole
system.
Thank.
AC
AD
Thank
you.
I
have
two
I'm.
A
parent
of
three
I
have
two
in
elementary
school
one
coming
up
into
Elementary,
School
and
another
one
that
will
be
there
in
about
five
or
six
years
so
I'll
be
in
ASD,
presumably
for
like
20
years,
I
live
in
shugiak
and
I.
Think
that
there's
a
lot
of
issues
in
that
end
of
the
community
that
are
different
from
communities
more
on
the
core
of
Anchorage
I
am
against
the
time
change,
especially
on
this
shortened
timeline.
AD
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
kids,
who
have
support
at
home
from
parents
who
are
less
stressed
and
just
support
at
home,
do
better
in
school,
anyways
and
I.
Think
elementary
school
kids
need
that
direct
Hands-On
parental
support.
More
than
older
students.
Kindergartners
can't
do
their
homework
without
somebody
to
quiz
them
on
their
letters
and
their
sounds,
and
their
numbers
older
kids,
can
do
their
homework
generally
without
help.
AD
I
recognize
the
benefits
that
Studies
have
shown
that
this
has
on
older
kids,
but
I
haven't
seen
anything
that
shows
a
benefit
on
younger
kids
and
the
information
from
the
district
has
only
indicated.
Those
who
support
the
change
for
middle
and
high
school
and
did
not
indicate
the
change
of
how
many
people
supported
or
disapproved
of
this
for
elementary
school
I
am
no
longer
in
a
jewel
working
household.
My
family
is
fortunate
enough
that
I
was
able
to
leave
my
job
in
order
to
deal
with
child
care.
AD
Pickup
school
drop-offs
it
just
it's
a
lot.
Anybody
who's,
a
parent
of
elementary
school
kids
knows
it's
a
lot
and
after
cook
we
had
covid.
We
had
remote
learning,
we
had
shortened
school
days
after
school
care
dropped
their
hours
at
my
kids
school.
So
even
if
I
the
amount
in
campfire
the
hours
were
skipped
so
I
had
to
cut
my
hours.
Take
pay
cuts,
I
know
not.
Everybody
has
those
kinds
of
options
available
to
them
or
the
Financial
Security
to
do
so.
AD
AD
Go
right
there,
oh
I
accidentally
brushed
it.
That's
that's
my
math,
it's
probably
not
exact,
but
it
makes
sense
that
more
than
half
of
the
students
in
the
district
are
in
elementary
school
and
their
parents
are
trying
to
help
them
get
through
school.
AD
Let's
see
when
I
went
to
the
town
hall,
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
how
the
chamber
was
surveyed
and
all
this
all
of
this
local
analysis
was
done
in
2018.
Since
then,
we've
had
a
pandemic,
we've
had
earthquakes,
nothing
has
been
updated
to
whether
the
chamber
is
even
considering
the
needs
of
parents
rather
than
than
their
needs
for
students
to
work
after
school
and
I.
Think
again,
as
many
have
said,
the
the
amount
of
time
to
put
this
in
is
just
so
short.
AD
It's
almost
summer,
people
are
already
planning
their
summer
vacations
they've
got
plans
set
and,
to
put
this
all
into
effect,
that
that
quickly
is
just
a
huge
hardship.
Our
PTA
meeting,
hardly
anybody
had
heard
of
this
at
last
week's
meeting,
and
this
is
us
getting
ready
to
go
into
the
summer.

AE
My
name
is
Kevin
Kline
good
evening.
My
name
is
Kevin
klock
I'm,
a
language
arts
and
Video
Productions
teacher
at
Golden,
View,
Middle,
School,
I,
also
coach
debate
and
I
serve
as
the
language
arts
department
chair.
It's
my
ninth
year
teaching
in
the
Anchorage
School
District,
all
of
which
have
been
in
Middle
School
I'm
here
today,
to
encourage
the
school
board
to
vote
no
on
the
proposed
school
start
times,
especially
for
Middle
School.
Well,
I
understand
the
research
points
to
more
sleep
for
teenagers.
AE
This
push
to
start
middle
school
at
9,
30
and
end
at
four
will
not
solve
the
Sleep
issue.
Instead
This
proposed
schedule
will
negatively
affect
academic
outcomes,
extracurricular
activities
and
teacher
coach
retention,
step
foot
inside
a
middle
school
classroom
after
1
pm
and
you'll
notice.
The
energy
level
takes
well
a
drastic
shift.
Teachers,
especially
in
core
subjects,
have
to
work
so
much
harder
during
periods.
Six
and
seven
to
keep
students
focused
and
engaged
in
moving.
The
final
Bell
to
4
pm
will
make
our
job
to
improve
student
outcomes
even
more
challenging.
AE
Well,
it's
true
that
teenagers
need
to
sleep.
Delaying
the
start
time
to
9
30
will
not
necessarily
result
in
more
arrests
for
students.
Many
will
choose
to
just
stay
up
later,
which
will
completely
defeat
the
purpose
of
starting
later.
When
I
hear
students
tell
me
that
they
didn't
get
enough
sleep
and
I.
Ask
them
why
I
get
two
responses,
either
they're
on
their
phone
or
they're
playing
video
games.
AE
So
maybe,
instead
of
spending
resources
to
shift
an
entire
Community
schedule,
perhaps
we
could
focus
more
of
our
time
and
conversations
on
student
screen
time
and
social
media
usage.
Pushing
Middle
School
to
4
pm
will
also
negatively
impact
hundreds
of
students
who
participate
in
after
school
sports
and
activities
pushing
Middle
School
practices
to
start
at
4.
15
means
students
leave
practice
at
5
45,
which
means
they'll
go
home
after
six
o'clock.
This
will
cause
harm
to
the
time
students
spend
on
homework
and
with
family
and
friends.
Furthermore,
what
T?
AE
What
teacher
will
want
to
coach
when
they
likely
won't
get
home
from
practices
until
after
six
or
later,
and
what
about
competitions?
With
our
current
schedule?
Students
aren't
getting
home
from
games
and
meets
until
after
nine
o'clock
or
even
later,
you
think.
That's
a
good
idea
for
a
12
year
old,
13
14
year
old,
pushing
Middle
School
to
4
P.M
will
effectively
Crush
teacher
coach
retention
and
ultimately
defeat
the
purpose
of
helping
students
get
more
sleep
and
better
grades.
AE
In
conclusion,
I
encourage
the
school
board
to
maintain
the
current
Middle
School
start
time.
It's
important
to
prioritize
students,
health
and
well-being.
Change
change
in
the
middle
school
schedule
from
9
30
to
4
would
create
more
problems
than
it
solves.
Thanks
for
your
time
and
consideration,
thank.
B
You
very
much
okay,
let's
see
in
the
room,
Jason
looks
like
cats
Brown
after
Miss
Greer.
AF
Hi,
thank
you,
I'm,
a
teacher
in
the
ASD
it's
my
13th
year
and
then
also
the
parent
of
an
incoming
kindergartner.
There
are
several
reasons
why
changing
school
start
times
to
later
in
the
day
for
middle
school
and
high
school
students
in
earlier
start
times
for
elementary
students
may
not
be
the
best
approach.
First,
a
change
in
start
times
would
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
daily
routines
of
students,
parents
and
teachers.
AF
Many
families
rely
on
consistent
school
schedules
to
plan
their
day,
coordinate
extracurricular
activities,
changing
the
start
times
would
cause
disruptions
to
Future
teams,
causing
confusion
and
potentially
negative
impacts
on
student
performance.
Moreover,
a
change
in
school
start
times
could
also
impact
after
school
activities
such
as
Sports
and
clubs.
They
may
need
to
adjust
their
schedules
as
well.
This
could
cause
scheduling,
conflicts
and
make
it
more
challenging
for
students
to
participate
in
extracurricular
activities
which
have
been
shown
to
have
numerous
benefits
for
students.
AF
Additionally,
implementing
different
start
times
will
impact
our
community
encourages
facing
a
child
care
crisis.
There
are
not
enough
programs
to
meet
our
current
need,
but
changing
Elementary
to
earlier
will
increase
the
demand
for
after-school
child
care
as
it
is.
There
are
not
enough
options
available.
Furthermore,
changing
school
start
times
will
not
address
the
underlying
issues
that
are
causing
sleep
deprivation
students.
There
are
many
factors
that
can
impact
the
quality
and
quantity
of
students,
sleep,
including
homework
technology
use
and
extracurricular
activities.
Rather
than
changing
start
times.
AF
Schools
could
focus
on
addressing
these
underlying
issues
such
as
reducing
homework
loads,
encouraging
healthy
sleep
habits
and
limiting
technology
use
before
bed.
In
conclusion,
while
the
idea
of
changing
school
start
times
may
seem
appealing,
it
is
important
to
continue
consider
at
the
end
potential
negative
impacts
it
could
have
on
students,
families,
schools
and
our
community.
Instead,
our
schools
should
focus
on
addressing
the
underlying
issues
that
are
causing
our
sleeper
deprivation
in
students
and
find
alternative
solutions
that
do
not
disrupt
daily
routines
in
our
extracurricular
activities.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
N
Bellamy
and
the
whole
board,
my
name
is
Jason
Katz,
Brown
I'm,
a
new
substitute
teacher,
and
it's
been
a
year
of
delay
and
surprise,
mostly
really
joyful
surprises,
but
one
bad
surprise
was
when
I
first
taught
at
high
school
here,
most
classes,
I
taught
at
least
one
student
or
more
would
fall
asleep
during
class
and
then
often
what
I
would
walk
around
the
school
high
school
during
lunch,
like
most
hallways
I
would
see
some
students
trying
to
catch
up
on
sleep
and
yeah.
N
I
was
surprised
at
that,
but
it's
not
on
them.
It's
on
us
to
Center
and
prioritize
their
Wellness,
their
sleep
and
their
health
exit.
Also
love
to
frame
this
from
the
perspective
of
some
new
teacher
and
be
confirmed
this
as
a
way
to
help
our
efforts
to
recruit,
entertain
teachers
like
me
by
showing
that
we're
helping
prioritize
their
health
and
sleep
and
illness
I
am
more
likely
to
teach
next
year
and
I
think
we're
more
like.
Do
they
get
more
teachers
to
teach
in
Anchorage,
maybe
even
move
to
Anchorage.
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
open
up
with
a
reflection.
First
I
guess:
we've
spent
the
bulk
of
our
fall
talking
about
our
budget,
which
is
direct
ties
to
our
state
economy.
Our
state
budget,
oil
prices,
oil
volatility
on
the
Permanent
Fund
things
that
are
far
outside
of
control
of
this
boardroom
and
our
purview
as
board
members.
It's
it
struck
me
with
the
influx
of
emails
that
we've
received
as
both
daunting
and
disappointing
at
times
that
the
conversations
and
the
the
drawbacks
to
this
change
aren't
purely
academic
focused.
C
It's
shortcomings
of
our
our
communities
set
up
our
society,
our
state
with
the
child
care
crisis,
we're
experiencing
in
I'm,
not
sure
I'm,
debating
whether
or
not
when
we
set
up
our
our
advocacy
plan
for
the
legislature.
If
we
need
to
sincerely
consider
including
child
care
in
our
plan,
our
lobbying
plan
we're
connecting
with
lawmakers
is,
it
has
a
direct
impact.
C
We're
hearing
in
in
our
community
and
parents
are
are
right
now,
given
a
false,
a
false
choice
of
leaving
the
workforce
or
paying
an
additional
mortgage
payments
to
ensure
that
they
have
adequate
Child,
Care,
there's
another
conversation
that
needs
to
happen
here:
ASD
parents,
non-asd
parents-
we
deserve
better
than
this,
so
I
think
we
need
to
make
it
a
point
of
advocacy
based
on
some
of
what
we're
hearing
I,
think
I'm,
I'm
hopeful,
proposition
14
will
change
some
of
that.
C
There's
right
now:
bills
in
the
legislature
that
could
dramatically
impact
access
to
child
care,
investing
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
in
the
system
and
so
I'm
hopeful
that
we're
paying
attention
to
those
global
Solutions,
because
we
shouldn't
allow
the
status
quo
to
remain
acceptable
as
a
community
as
a
state.
So
turning
the
attention
to
The
Proposal,
it's
a
challenge
and
that's
I,
think
we
heard
compelling
data
and
a
presentation
earlier
this
year
that
the
science
supports
the
proposal.
I'm
curious
as
to
what
other
board
members
think
I've
said
previously.
C
G
Thank
you
community
members
for
being
here
tonight.
Thank
you
to
the
administration
for
bringing
forward
this
recommendation.
Having
this
conversation,
bringing
some
really
remarkable
researchers
to
the
discussion,
I
think
those
are
Nash.
Dr
Meltzer
is
a
national
leader
and
it
was
an
honor
to
have
her
here.
Thank
you,
member
Jacobs,
for
your
pointed
comments
that
we
are
situated
in
an
environment
that
we
cannot
control.
G
I.
Think
that,
again,
as
I
look
around
the
room,
we
have
goals
about
reading
proficiency
and
math
proficiency
and
college
career
life
readiness
and
as
someone
who
supports
extracurricular
activities
who
believes
in
power
of
community
the
importance
of
play
outside
and
daylight,.
G
G
I,
don't
know
what
magic
button
is
going
to
be
pushed
between
now
and
12
months
from
now
to
solve
the
child
care
crisis.
So
I
I
do
want
to
stress
that
I
hear
and
respect
the
concerns.
The
stakeholders
should
have
shared
about
Middle
School,
about
decreasing
participation
in
after
school
activities,
potentially
compressed
time
about
for
homework.
I
think
that
there's
a
larger
conversation
to
have
about
the
place
of
homework
generally,
you
know,
given
what
we
know
about
online
learning.
Probably
the
same
disparities
are
functioning
within
homework.
G
That's
a
separate
kettle
of
fish
and
concerns
about
you
know
older
students
currently
providing
child
care
to
younger
students.
Quite
frankly,
that's
in
my
opinion,
I,
don't
think
it's
fair
to
hold
our
our
secondary
students
and
the
particular
science
of
their
development
hostage
to
these
forces
over
which
we
don't
have
any
control.
G
So
boy
I
wrote
a
lot
of
things
in
preparation
for
this
meeting,
because
I
find
it
helpful
for
organizing
my
thoughts
but
I
don't
see
what
delaying
the
conversation
a
year
is
going
to
to
buy
us
and
I
am
respectfully
and
sincerely
under
the
belief
that
changing
our
start
times
tonight
will
provide
our
adolescent
students
and
our
board
goals
for
student
learning.
A
pathboard
I
want
to
bring
you
back
the
last
board
meeting
that
we
had
when
I
did.
G
I
shared
the
tally
that
I
that
I
made
that
14
524
of
our
students
are
chronically
absent
this
year.
It
does
not.
The
numbers.
Do
not
look
good
and
the
first
thing
that
I
believe
that
Dr
Johnson
shared
is
that
our
students
are
undergoing
a
mental
health
crisis
and
I.
Think
my
understanding,
I'm,
not
a
sleep
researcher,
but
my
understanding
of
sleep
deprivation
of
chronic
sleep
deprivation
said
it
is
a
major
factor
and
yes,
our
families
and
our
our
students
have
got
to
deal
with
the
fact
that
we
have
these
devices
in
our
life.
G
Maybe
it
we
can
buy
some
blue
screens
to
put
on
Chromebooks.
So,
maybe
that's
something
we
as
a
district
can
do.
We
don't
have
the
agency
to
go
and
tell
people
to
go
to
bed
earlier.
We
could
ask
our
Public
Health
Partners,
you
know
just
like
there
are
there's
a
great
campaign
trying
to
get.
You
know
parents
of
kids
under
two
not
to
give
them
sugary
drinks
right.
We
could
ask
our
Public
Health
Partners
to
promote
sleep,
and
that
would
be
wonderful,
but
as
a
board
our
job.
G
G
When
it
comes
to
grades,
I
want
to
bring
your
attention
to
you.
In
one
of
the
many
emails
we
received,
one
of
our
high
school
teachers
shared
my
first
period.
Class
of
Juniors
has
10
to
12
absent
daily
out
of
26
of
that
number.
Six
to
eight
eventually
come
some
by
minutes,
others
by
over
30
of
the
26
students.
10
have
F's
my
three
other
Junior
classes
combined
and
not
have
that
many
F's.
This
problem
is
occurring
within
all
other
grade
levels
and
subjects.
G
Data
will
verify
lower
grades
and
attendance
issues
for
most
first
period
classes
when
we
ask
our
high
school
and
our
middle
school
students
to
get
up
in
what
is
effectively
biological
night.
Given
that
adolescent
phase
delay
takes
place
as
they're
going
through
puberty,
it
is
a
particular
stage
of
their
life.
We're
saying
that
we
think
it's
okay
to
cut
out
I,
don't
know
25
of
their
sleep.
G
What's
really
interesting
is
that
the
nature
of
adolescents
sleep
again
from
what
I've
been
trying
to
learn
half
of
their
REM
sleep
right,
the
dreaming
that
takes
place
where
memory
is
encoded,
where
emotions
are
being
processed.
Half
of
that
REM
sleep
takes
place
at
the
end
of
their
sleep
cycle.
We're
cutting
that
out.
G
We
make
them
get
up
before
they
are
ready
to
do
so,
and
then
they
experience
social
jet
lag
on
the
weekends
where
they
compensate
they
sleep
in
three
hours,
it's
like
flying
across
the
country
and
then
having
them
get
up
on
Monday
morning
with
the
whole
social
and
physiological
Whiplash
that
that
brings
so
again.
That's
my
understanding
that
the
start
time
changes
from
a
school
systems
perspective
will
not
see
negative
impacts
to
our
elementary
students
with
an
8
AM
start
time.
G
But
we
will,
if
we
look
at
what
other
school
systems
around
the
country
have
done,
going
back
to
Minneapolis
in
the
19
late
1990s
early
2000s,
that's
pretty,
and
that's
about
as
analogous
to
Anchorage
as
you're
going
to
get.
There
aren't
too
many
other
school
systems
north
of
Minnesota,
and
you
can
look
at
I.
Don't
know.
Research
stations
in
Antarctica
I
was
trying
to
understand
what
the
data
shares
about
sleep,
but
there's
there's
just
there's.
G
There
are
not
bodies
of
work
on
adolescents
in
Alaska,
I
will
say
s,
but
I
did
take
the
time
to
look
at
time
and
date
like
when
the
Sun
rises
in
Anchorage.
In
this
current
school
year,
I
compared
it
with
our
current
schedule,
and
although
yes,
if
we
change
our
start
times,
elementary
students
will
spend
more
Mornings
in
the
dark.
Currently,
the
first
round
of
Elementary
bus,
pickups
or
Walkers
already
wait
in
the
dark
Before
Sunrise
79
days
of
the
year,
it's
about
46
they're.
G
Already
in
the
dark
I've
been
there
with
my
kids
I've
done,
it's
actually
kind
of
magical.
The
first
round
of
Middle
School
pickups
wait
before
Sunrise
63
percent
of
the
school
year
about
109
days.
The
first
round
of
high
school
pickups,
currently
wait
before
sunrise
or
as
new
drivers
drive
in
the
dark
on
our
icy
winter
roads,
81
percent
of
the
Year
140
of
our
days.
H
So
I
didn't
write
nearly
as
much
as
member
lessons,
but
I've
been
listening
to
our
community
as
as
much
as
I
possibly
can
as
well
and
I
appreciate
everybody
who's
come
here
to
testify
tonight
and
the
emails
we
received
and
the
surveys
they
participated
in
in
the
town
halls
and
all
that
information
and
I
want
to
respond
to
member
Jacobs
because
I
and
to
some
of
the
testimony
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
truly
beneficial
to
rush
our
families
to
scramble
to
adjust
for
a
start
time,
starting
in
the
fall
I
think
our
staff,
our
community,
our
programs,
our
our
families,
Our
Community
Partners,
deserve
to
time
the
time
to
perfect
to
prepare
for
this
change
and
I'm.
H
H
I
I
feel
very
strongly
that
I
think
our
families
and
our
schools
have
deserved
that
time
as
well.
So
I
would
love
to
see
the
language
changed
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
propose
a
motion
to
amend
the
current
motion
to
request
that
this
change
begin
in
the
2024-2025
school
year.
B
D
T
H
Would
I'm
sorry
that
that
pretty
much
covers
it,
for
me,
is,
is
the
opportunity
for
our
community,
our
families,
our
staff,
our
Community
Partners
and
the
programs.
Our
Athletics
are
after
school
programs,
I
mean
all
of
those
programs
did
just
to
have
that
opportunity
to
adjust
their
programs
and
their
time
schedules.
B
L
L
I
I
would
like
to
hear
what
the
superintendent
has
to
say
with
the
proposal.
I
know
that
I,
like
a
I
like
chess
I,
like
sitting
on
both
sides
of
the
table
and
sometimes
arguing
with
myself
that
way,
I
usually
win,
and-
and
this
is
a
tough
situation,
we
have
a
crisis
in
academics.
Okay,
there
is
no
question
it
we
have
said
and,
and
I
got
on
school
board
my
own.
My
commitment
has
been
to
do
everything
possible
to
increase
those
academic
scores.
They
were
awful.
L
We've
got
kids
that
are
going
to
pay
a
price
for
that
in
the
future.
If
we
don't
address
it
now,
it's
going
to
be
more
and
more
kids
with
the
same
outcome,
and
we
it's
just
unacceptable.
We
have
got
to
do
everything
in
our
power
to
do
it.
I
also
understand
and
accept
the
impact
it
has
on
families
and
trying
to
make
adjustments
losing
teachers
is
not
a
winning
solution.
L
Having
impact
on
families,
that's
going
to
undermine
their
support
of
having
problems,
we
really
do
have
a
child
care
issue
and
I
I've
got
beat
up
on
my
two
daughters
on
that.
Okay
and
I
understand
that
too,
but
I'm
I'm
concerned
about
the
crisis,
we're
in
and
and
not
doing
everything
and
our
power
right
now
to
increase
academic
outcomes,
which
are
totally
unacceptable.
L
The
change
that
we've
made
in
regards
to
curriculum
the
impact
that
we're
making
other
decisions
on
right
now
has
got
to
be
totally
student
focused
in
my
opinion,
and
that
has
got
to
be
the
outcome.
I,
listen
to
the
arguments,
both
sides
of
this
coin-
I
I-
really
do
appreciate
it.
Clearly
the
issue
is
about
family
care
and
all
we
knew
that
was
going
to
be
a
problem,
whether
it's
issue
or
next
year.
It
doesn't
make
any
difference.
L
You're
still
going
to
have
a
big
impact
on
families,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
problem.
I
understand
that
I
also
know
that
the
hard
facts
say
you
can
it's
logical
to
keep
it
the
way.
It
is
it's
logical
to
change
it,
but
when
you've
already
got
the
race
one
and
the
data
is
already
there
saying
that
academically
scores
will
go
up,
it's
difficult,
not
to
say
that's
the
direction.
We
need
to
go
I
believe
in
logical
decisions
I'm
totally
in
that
category.
L
I
I,
don't
like
emotional
decisions
and
when
you've
got
hard
data
saying
that
academic
score
is
improved
by
making
these
changes.
When
they
came
in
front
of
the
board,
we
had
a
7-0
go
forward,
find
out,
do
what
you
can
my
reservation
on.
Holding
back
is
it's
another
year
that
will
be
not
beneficial
for
student
outcomes
and
we
have
really
bad
student
outcomes
right
now.
L
Superintendent,
Gets,
a
Job
understanding
that
he
made
the
commitment
and
I
believe
him
that
he's
going
to
do
all
that
he
can
to
increase
academic
Improvement
I,
don't
want
to
see
another
year
wasted
and
I
do
agree
with
you.
We
need
to
come
out
with
a
plan
quickly
on
addressing
the
after-school
problem.
We've
got
to
address
the
the
day
care
issues,
I
hate
to
call
it
daycare,
but
it's
the
after-school
issues.
We've
got
to
do
that.
It's
going
to
have
an
an
impact
this
year
or
next
year,
but
I
want
the
academic
impacts.
L
Now
I
want
to
do
everything
possible
to
improve
student
performance.
It's
not
fair
to
do
anything
other
than
to
be
student
focused
at
this
point.
We
all
know
what
the
issue
is:
we've
all
seen
the
data
we've
seen
declines,
we've
seen
all
kinds
of
issues.
The
last
five
six
years
with
it's
been
an
ongoing
problem.
I
want
every
Solution
on
the
table
and
if
it's
positive
for
kids
I'm
going
to
vote
that
way,
that's
the
only
way
I
feel
like
I
can
vote.
L
K
I,
don't
want
to
go
up
my
spot
on
the
main
question.
I
will
say:
I
do
agree
that
that
I
think
this
would
be
short
notice.
This
will
come
up
again.
It'll
come
up
again
until
we
change
it
and
then
it'll
start
coming
up
again,
whether
or
not
we
should
change
it
back.
K
So
this
is
something
boards
are
going
to
see
over
and
over
again
the
public
will
see
over
and
over
again
because
it
will
whatever
system
we
have,
will
always
be
difficult
for
some
people
and
it'll
be
wonderful
for
some
others,
but
I
I
would
say
to
the
administration
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
forward
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
thought
and
I.
K
Don't
know,
there's
a
perfect
plan
out
there,
but
I
would
urge
any
board
to
consider
it
in
the
fall
so
that
it
could
be
adopted
and
there
would
be
a
spring
semester
of
normal
operations.
I
I
say
that
feeling
like
I,
don't
know
when
we
see
normal
in
a
long
time,
but
I'm
sure
it
still
exists
somewhere,
but
that
would
give
child
care
providers
time
to
really
make
a
plan
and
and
try
to
staff
up.
K
Would
give
parents
time
to
make
a
plan
not
just
during
the
summer,
because
I
I
think
that's
a
hard
time
for
communication
and
for
people
to
really
browse
what's
going
on,
but
I
would
be
in
favor
of
this
Motion
in
terms
of
delaying
it,
but
also
when
the
question
comes
back
around
again
that
it'd
be
considered
in
the
fall.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
president.
I.
Just
want
to
to
clarify
my
understanding
of
the
amendment.
Is
that,
should
you
know
in
the
past
that
the
board
will
be
given
concrete
direction
to
the
administration
to
begin
the
the
work,
the
planning,
the
Coalition
building
with
the
with
local
and
state
Partners,
to
prepare
for
the
decision
that's
been
made,
which
is
a
plan
that
changes
school
start
times
effective,
not
just
a
few
months
from
now,
but
the
24
25
school
year.
C
There's
plenty
of
work
to
be
done.
The
proposition
14
committee
hasn't
yet
been
formed
bills
that
would
appropriate
significant
resources
to
child
care
are
still
languishing
in
the
Alaska
legislature.
I'm
awaiting
passage
and
they'll
resume
their
work
in
January
after
they
adjourn
here
as
soon
as
eight
days
from
now.
C
There's
time
for
industry
to
build
up,
we
have
work
to
do
clearly
in
terms
of
community
outreach
and
connecting
with
parents
and
getting
them
on
board
finding
out.
If
there's
additional
resources
that
we
can
provide
as
a
district,
the
the
child
care
table
is
certainly
one
that
we
should
have
a
seat
at,
but
I
don't
believe
it's
our
table
and
I
think.
That's
something
to
consider
as
activists.
We
are
we're
going
to
have
to
lean
on
the
community
to
bridge
this
Gap
once
these
changes
go
into
effect
and
so
and
to
be
completely
transparent.
C
I
will
support
the
underlying
measure.
In
all
likelihood,
should
the
Amendments
fail,
but
I
think
that
this
is
a
reasonable
compromise
that
100
support
students
based
on
a
data
centered
Focus,
but
also
allows
Middle
Ground
to
support
our
Middle
School
teachers
to
support
industry
as
it
Transitions
and
to
support
our
families,
given
that
Summer's
just
a
a
very
short
time
away.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
O
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
do
recognize
that
people
feel
very
strongly
about
this
issue
on
multiple
fronts.
There
are
community
members
that
very
urgently
want
the
change
to
happen,
and
some
are
in
favor
of
you
know
changing
it
now.
We
completely
acknowledge
that
point
of
view
for
all
the
reasons
that
we've
discussed,
but
the
administration
does
not
have
opposition
to
delaying
this
by
a
year
while
we'll
lose
the
benefits
in
terms
of
mental
health.
O
Supports
I
I
do
want
to
recognize,
then
make
the
public
aware
of
the
potential
upsides,
and
one
of
the
potential
upsides
of
delaying
by
a
year
would
be
to
align
this
with
our
sixth
grade
to
Middle
School
efforts.
It
would
allow
us
more
time
to
work
directly
with
teachers
to
support
them
through
the
process
of
transferring
between
a
middle
to
an
elementary
school.
O
If
that
aligns
more
with
what
their
long-term
plans
are
in
terms
of
when
they
would
like
to
report
to
work,
and
then
it
will
allow
us
more
time,
have
a
concrete
plan
for
how
the
district
will
be
a
part
of
the
solution
when
it
comes
to
leveraging
prop
14
for
good
when
it
comes
to
supporting
the
community.
That
was
one
of
the
main
drawbacks
of
the
current
proposal,
as
is
is
because
the
proposition
is
so
new.
O
We're
not
even
fully
aware
of
what
types
of
initiatives
that
the
muni
is
willing
to
fund
through
prop
14,
and
this
would
give
us
time
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table
and
to
advocate
for
ways
that
we
can
partner
and
be
part
of
that
child
care
solution.
So
there
are
clear
upsides
to
a
delay.
I
do
want
to
recognize.
One
of
the
comments
made
earlier,
though,
about
academic
achievement.
O
You
know,
would
delaying
this
by
a
year
put
us
at
risk
it
not
making
the
gains
that
we
aspire
to
as
a
board
for
academic
achievement
and
I
would
say
in
the
big
picture.
We're
still
on
track.
I
mean
remember
that
we're
on
track
to
move
our
sixth
graders
to
middle
school,
so
they
can
take
advantage
of
Rich
Career
and
Technical
education
offerings
and
more
enrichment.
At
the
middle
school
level,
we
recently
adopted
a
new
K3
curriculum
in
line
with
our
board
goals
in
guard
rails.
O
We're
doing
a
number
of
different
things
and
I
I
do
want
to
shout
out
our
college
career
in
life
Readiness
initiative,
so
we're
aggressively
planning
for
implementing
freshman
academies
to
support
our
students
early
on,
so
they
can
participate
in
Industry,
credential
programs
or
college
coursework.
So
we
are
making
progress
in
the
bigger
picture.
Will
we
lose
the
immediate
benefit
of
the
mental
health
support
going
into
next
year?
O
Yes,
according
to
the
research,
so
that
is
a
major,
a
consideration
for
the
board
to
consider,
but
I
will
say
listening
to
tonight's
testimony
time
and
the
time
to
plan
the
somewhat
a
desire
to
have
more
time
to
really
have
concrete
answers
for
the
district's
position
on
child
care,
and
these
other
factors
would
be
a
benefit
gained
from
a
delay.
So
I
just
want
to
put
all
the
facts
out
there
on
both
sides.
B
B
Our
students
are
struggling,
our
staff
are
struggling
and
I
think
anything
we
can
do
I'm
not
for
I
mean
I'll
support.
You
know
for
me,
it
has
to
be
when
not
if,
when
we
Implement
and
extend
these
our
school
days,
whether
that's
this
year
or
next
year,
it's
good
for
kids
that
that's
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
so
whether
that
take
if
we
need
to
if,
if
the
boards
wishes
to
take
a
a
year
to
to
do
that,
then
so
be
it
personally
I,
don't
think
we
can
afford
to
wait.
B
B
My
whole
High
School
career,
actually
starting
in
elementary
school,
actually
I
mean
I,
was
smart.
I
was
big
for
my
age:
I
could
feed
them,
I
could
cook,
but
I
missed
so
much
so
I
struggle
with
what
that
means
among
students
who
who
are
already
struggling,
and
they
cannot
articulate
the
struggle.
The
struggle
we
didn't
have
science
in
my
day
to
say:
okay
Margo
needs
a
little
more
sleep.
B
B
We've
got
to
break
through
in
ways
for
our
kids
that
are
painful
because
they
deserve
it
so
I'm
not
for
putting
it
off
I'm
for
getting
it
done
now,
but
I
will
go
by
I
will
abide
by
whatever
the
will
of
the
board
is
so
with
that.
If
there
are
no
other
comments,
I
did
wait.
Till
last,
I
gave
everybody
their
chance.
Have
we
heard
from
everybody
who
wishes
to
be
heard
from
what
about
our
students.
A
We
kind
of
briefly
talked
about
it,
just
him
and
I.
We
did
kind
of
come
up
with
like
we
feel
as
if
it
would
hurt
more
students,
because
I
know
personally.
If
my
school
were
to
start
later,
I
would
be
the
one
who
would
stay
up
later
and
be
getting
the
same
amount
of
sleep,
but
just
set
back
at
a
different
time,
and
that
may
just
be
me
and
my
bad
sleeping
habits.
A
I
do
know
like
it
would
give
students
that
mental
thing
of
oh
well
now
I
have
more
time
to
sleep
in
so
I
can
stay
up
later,
stay
up
to
do
projects,
and
things
like
this
so
as
much
as
like
it
would
help
with
students
test
scores,
and
all
of
that
you
know
they
said
like
I
am
also
a
student
who
sleeps
in
class
again
may
just
be
me,
but
I
think
it's
more
of
just
like
School
straining
for
students,
especially
after
a
coven
that
I
just
think
it's
more
it's
a
student-by-student
basis,
not
everyone's
the
same.
A
A
You
know,
I
know
some
people
have
a
full
AP
schedule,
plus
Sports
Plus,
like
they
live
in
Girdwood
things
like
that
that
go
into
factors
so
I
think
Josh
and
I
kind
of
came
up
with
a
conclusion
that
it
may
not
be
the
best
option
for
especially
those
students
who
have
jobs
after
school
who
provide
a
main
income
for
their
families,
especially
for
single
parents,
so
from
a
high
school
basis.
That's
my
little
opinion,
but
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
it
would
affect
those
elementary
school
kids,
especially
because
I
went
to
a
private
school.
F
B
G
Yeah,
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
the
teacher's
comment
about
the
students
falling
asleep
in
class
and
that
resonates
with
research
telling
us
that
this
generation
of
students,
the
Josh's
and
the
Ellie's
and
their
younger
siblings.
G
You
are
the
most
sleep,
deprived
generation.
The
world
has
ever
seen.
That's
not
something
that
we
should
take
lightly
and
again
I,
don't
really
know
how
delaying
the
decision
a
year
is
going
to
change
that.
But
what
I
do
know
is
that
when
teenagers
don't
get
the
sleep
that
they
need,
they're,
a
higher
use
for
all
sorts
of
terrible
outcomes,
marijuana
alcohol,
cigarette
use
being
sexually
active,
considering
suicide
feeling
sad,
hopeless,
physically
fighting.
G
We
just
heard
the
administration
share
that
fighting
and
assaults
are
through
the
roof
this
year
being
more
sedentary
having
more
screen
time
and
at
a
national
level
right.
The
changes
in
every
District
were
to
change
their
school
start
times.
The
savings,
the
economic
benefits
from
improved
graduation
rates,
improved
College
attendance,
improved
Health
outcomes-
would
be
in
the
billions
billions
after
a
few
years,
so
this
is
bigger
than
ASD
I
realize
we're
not
going
to
change
the
world
right
here
right
now,
but
we
can.
G
B
Okay,
okay
member
Higgins
go
on.
Oh
I'll,
come
back
around
I.
L
L
But
but
I
came
here
because
I
didn't
want
to
stay
where
I'm
at
because
the
education
system
was
bad
and
I
understand
that
I'm
putting
the
kids
first
came
to
Alaska,
because
Alaska
schools
were
a
lot
better.
There
were
other
issues
they
had
social
issues.
I
didn't
want
to
be
a
ball
with
that
and
I
didn't
want
my
kids
involved
with
it
right
now.
I,
don't
know
what
I
would
do
in
Anchorage
if
I
saw
the
academic
results.
B
Okay,
so
it
looks
like
everyone
has
had
an
opportunity
to
speak.
Who
wishes
to
the
motion
before
you
is
to
adjust
memorandum
number
one,
four
one
with
the
start
date
of
24
25
school
year.
L
J
L
B
Okay,
that's
motion
four
to
three.
B
It
passes
four
to
three.
That
brings
us
back
to
the
original
memo.
K
Once
again,
I
want
to
say
I
appreciate
what
the
administration's
done
and
bringing
this
forward
I
do.
Think
that,
as
a
board,
we've
been
channeled
into
looking
at
just
a
small
number
of
solutions
for
this,
based
on
the
fact
that
that
our
transportation
situation
drives
so
much
of
what
we
can
do.
K
If,
if
I,
if
I
was
the
superintendent
which
there's
no
danger
of
I
I,
would
want
to
see
us
try
to
expand
how
long
our
high
schools
are
open
each
day,
somehow
providing
Transportation,
because
we
do
have
students
that
come
and
use
those
buildings
early.
We
as
students
who
show
up
at
6
30
ready
to
go
the
concert
of
things
they
want
to
do,
and
we
have
other
students
that
that
would
much
rather
show
up
about
nine
or
ten
o'clock
and
begin
their
day.
Then
and
I
wish.
K
We
could
be
open
earlier
and
stay
open
later
and
somehow
offer
that
Latitude,
so
that
families
and
students
could
customize
their
own
particular
schedule
to
to
whatever
is
driving
them.
I
do
understand
what
some
of
the
board
members
have
said
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
look
at
student
outcomes,
but
we
also
I
think
really
have
a
responsibility
to
understand
for
school
families.
Life
revolves
around
school
and
this
impacts
their
lives.
K
It
will
change
the
schedule
of
every
single
person
associated
with
The
District
in
some
fashion
or
another,
and
and
that's
a
huge
thing
to
to
impact
my
my
biggest
issue
when
I
look
at
Middle
School
ending
at
4
pm
and
to
be
open
and
honest.
That
was
where
I
spent
most
of
my
academic
career.
K
Although
that
was
a
goal
of
the
program
when
it
was
rolled
out
20
some
years
ago,
it
it
would
preclude
a
lot
of
things
happening.
A
lot
of
kids
are
just
going
to
go
home.
That
right
now
are
staying
and
participating
in
different
things
and
I
I
do
think
it
will
negatively
impact
the
ability
to
get
adults
to
stay
and
work
with
kids
for
any
length
of
time.
K
After
the
the
school
is
out
so
I
I
hope
we
can
look
at
some
other,
more
Creative
Solutions
than
just
shuffling
the
cards
on
the
order
and
and
moving
the
time
by
a
little
bit.
I
I
do
want
to
say
to
everybody,
it's
an
incredibly
complicated
thing.
There's
there's
not
a
simple
change
that
just
works,
and
so
I
I
don't
want
to
complain
too
much,
but
I
cannot
support
the
schedule.
That's
been
presented
to
us
here
today.
C
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
am
I
support
the
amended
version
of
this
proposal
for
reasons
that
we've
articulated
over
the
last
few
months
and
Beyond
and
started
the
conversation
prior
board
started.
C
The
conversation
in
2018
I
think
that
by
allowing
this
this
extra
time,
we
have
the
ability
to
to
begin
that
Coalition
building,
work
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
being
a
part
of
that
process,
along
with
the
administration,
I
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
have
a
broader
conversation
as
to
what
the
intersection
is
between
ASD
and
the
broader
after
school
before
school,
Child,
Care
Dynamic,
but
with
that
said,
I
Have,
No
Reservations
about
passing
this
and
and
to
be
clear,
I
view
this.
C
As
should
this
adopted,
which
is
this
memorandum
has
amended,
be
adopted,
I
view
this
as
a
clear
direction
from
the
board
that
Administration
will
begin,
laying
the
groundwork
for
that
planning,
effective
immediately
and
so
I
guess.
I
wanted
to
clarify
that
point
with
Dr
Bryant.
O
Yeah
well
received,
so
should
this
motion
pass,
the
administration
will
begin
creating
a
long-range
plan
backwards,
planning
from
the
implementation
in
24
25.
G
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
continue
the
conversation
I
wanted
to
share,
maybe
for
socialization
purposes
that
there
was
a
story
on
the
front
page
of
Sunday's
ADM
about
schools
that
are
considering
start
time.
Changes
in
support
of
students,
mental
health
and
academics
Nationwide,
which
included
Anchorage
Denver,
was
another
major
school
system.
That's
considering
a
change.
G
Denver
has
213
schools,
so
bigger
a
bigger
situation
to
sort
out
there.
But
what
was
interesting
in
that
article
is
that
one
that
the
district
profiled
at
the
the
front
of
the
story
has
changed
its
in-person
time
for
high
school
students
and
that
just
sort
of
got
my
wheels.
Spinning,
and
it's
interesting,
remember,
Holloman
that
you
shared
well
what
about
a
longer
high
school
day.
Well,
my
thought
was
what
about
a
shorter
high
school
day
and
I
think
that
there
could
be
something
interesting
and
maybe
something
to
it.
G
If,
as
we
hear
more
about
the
prospect
of
academies
right
of
students,
potentially
linking
part
of
their
learning
to
opportunities
in
and
around
the
community,
to
have
a
shorter,
tighter
in-person
window
of
high
school,
which
could
allow
elementary
and
middle
to
have
something,
that's
still
evidence-based,
but
within
a
tighter
range
and
high
school
would
sort
of
be
sandwiched
there
in
the
middle
for
busting
purposes.
So
anyways
I
I'm
not
going
to
propose
that
solution,
but
but
I
sketched
it
out
and
anyways
I.
Think.
G
G
A
lot
next
fall
because
we
are
not
seeing
enough
of
a
BSA
increase
to
close
our
gap
for
fy25,
so
I
know
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
is
going
to
be
spent
on
that,
but
I
do
think.
We
will
continue
to
look
forward
with
our
Mind's
Eye
focus
on
our
student
outcomes
and
I
would
be
interested
in
understanding
how
an
academy
model
could
complement
and
maybe
even
refine
anything
we
approve
here
tonight.
Okay,
thank.
H
I
am
glad
you
brought
up
the
CCL
work
that
the
college
career
life
Readiness
work
in
the
academies,
because
I
I'm
super
excited
about
that
work
and
I
am
very
pleased
that
the
board
has
chosen
to
allow
for
a
little
more
time
for
preparation
of
not
just
families
but
our
district,
their
work
with
the
CCL
with
the
academies
and
how
do
we
can
incorporate
into
that
that
into
our
time,
changes?
H
H
Nevertheless,
I
I
appreciate
the
board,
supporting
that
and
I
will
actually
support.
This
amendment
are
those
time
changes
to
start
in
2024.
M
K
I
B
B
J
B
B
AG
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Fellow
school
board,
members
Dr
Bryant
I'm
here
tonight
as
the
representative
for
the
Anchorage
principal
Association
and
I,
would
just
like
to
submit
this
testimonial
letter.
Banker
School,
the
Anchorage
principals
Association,
would
like
to
submit
a
letter
of
support
for
the
2023-26
tentative
agreement.
AG
L
L
AG
K
I
O
And
the
work
to
communicate,
to
engage
and
to
execute
a
plan
for
both
that
and
for
plc
they'll,
seize
because
I
truly
believe
that's
going
to
supporting
teachers
and
I
think
that'll
go
a
long
way
when
it
comes
to
our
goals
for
reading
and
math.
So
that
said,
back
to
the
school
start
times,
it
will
be
a
top
priority,
we'll
figure
out
a
way
to.
O
Shore
transportation
services
in
the
and
be
a
good
partner
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating,
presses
I,
don't
have
any.
O
Incredible
Educators
and
we
between
them
so
that
we
can
make
progress
on
our
board
goals.
On
a
related
note,
I
wanted
to
give
a
congratulations
to
miss
Catherine
Walker
of
diamond
high
school,
and
this
is
Megan
Henry
of
West
High
School
for
being
named
finalists
for
Alaska
teacher
of
the
year.
They
are
truly
shining
bright.
O
It
was
also
recently
principal
appreciation
day
and
we
value
our
building
leaders
and
everything
they
do
for
our
communities
and
students
this
year
in
particular,
we
had
many
first-year
principals
and
congratulations
to
them
for
making
it
challenges
aren't
easier,
just
because
it's
your
first
year
and
they
they
grew
As
Leaders
to.
O
We
also
have
fantastic
experience,
principles
in
the
district,
and
they
play
an
invaluable
role
in
mentoring
and
helping
other
leaders
in
the
district.
One
great
example
would
be
Mr,
Dave
nog,
the
golden
golden
principle.
Sorry
my
throat's
dry,
the
golden
view
principal
who
was
named
a
finalists
for
Alaska
principal
of
the
year.
So
thank
you
for
representing
team
ASD.
O
O
Students
more
food
choice
and
reduce
food
waste.
It
was
really
great
to
see
and
taco
Tuesday
was
a
hit
with
the
students.
So
we
thank
you
of
our
food
service
Professionals
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
for
students
and
school
nurse
and
we're
grateful
to
have
dedicated
to
keep
our
students
feeling
healthy.
O
And
lastly,
we
also
recently
recognized
our
Administration
one
right
here
at
the
diocesean
Miss
Amanda,
Foster
and
I
want
to
personally
share
my
thanks
for
our
hard-working
administrative
support
staff,
because
they
truly
are
the
glue
that
keeps
our
school
communities
operating
smoothly
and
then
just
a
couple
more
shine.
Brights.
O
This
afternoon,
so
thank
you:
conrado
girlin
and
Ellen
Scott
and
the
entire
maintenance
grounds
department
for
being
examples
of
excellence
in
ASD.
So
all
of
that
to
say
that
team
ASD
shines
bright
and
we
are
so
thankful
to
have
you
in
our
community.
That
concludes
my
report.
G
I
have
like
six
or
seven
so
I
wanted
to
share
that.
I
have
had
a
really
wonderful
chance
to
go
to
one
of
our
kindergarten
classrooms
and
spend
a
few
hours
there.
Last
week.
Among
other
things,
I
got
to
read:
Cora
Cook's
pencil
to
their
class
and
I
shared
in
the
dish
brought
in
by
a
student,
and
his
mom
listened
to
a
number
of
the
kiddos
share.
Their
own
multilingual
superpowers
and
I
bring
this
up
because
I
want
to.
G
See
value
in
that
I'm
really
happy
Food,
Service
workers
tonight
I
think
that
as
state
leaders,
you
know
talk
about
wanting
to
critical
to
share
that
those
are
components
of
supporting
our
classrooms
and
that
we
need
stack
in
a
competitive
labor
market.
In
order
to
ensure
the
success
of
our
classroom
teachers
and
with
respect
to
the
plcs
we've
had
the
different
groups.
H
C
Books
have
said,
and
very
eloquently
already
I
did
want
to
shout
out
just
to
speak
to
how
broad
the
Coalition
is
that
make
study
so
was
honored
to
be
there.
I'm
looking
forward
to
graduations
in
Eagle
River
in
shukiyak
next
week
did
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
all
of
our
graduates.
I
don't
have
any
in
my
home
this
year,
but
I'm
on
track
for
two
next
years.
So,
looking
forward
to
this,
thank
you.
L
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
first
of
all
express
my
appreciation
to
everyone
that
spoke
out
about
Changing
Times,
there's
logical
arguments
on
both
sides:
I
Heard
passion
fighting
for
this
for
their
children
and
and
what
they
think
is
best
for
students
and
that's
a
good
discussion.
That's
always
a
good
discussion,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
just
want
to
put
things
in
perspective
a
little
bit
that
things
can
change
when
I
got
on
school
board.
First
time
in
2008
we
had
close
to
about
60
percent.
L
L
We
improved
the
graduation
rate,
so
it
went
above
80,
so
the
number
from
12
went
down
to
six
and
along
those
lines
today,
if
I
look
at
those
classes
and
I
think
30k
and
say
18
can't
read:
I,
don't
believe
it
I
know
we
can
do
it
and
we
can
make
the
changes
so
just
reflecting
forward
with
the
problems.
Let's
not
Overlook.
What
we've
done.
We've
got
curriculum
change.
We've
got
the
sixth
grade
change,
we've
got
the
school
start
times,
change
we're.
L
Looking
at
different
changes,
I
appreciate
the
superintendent
pushing
changes
through
we,
we
were
not
going
to
get
the
kind
of
outcomes
we
want
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
and
over
again
that's
referred
to
as
Insanity
right
and
so
I
just
want
to
say,
I'm,
proud
of
what
were
the
direction
we're
going.
Would
change
and
I
hope
that
we
actually
go
from
first
gear
to
second
gear
next
year,
so
we
accelerate
even
faster,
so
my
appreciation
to
everyone
that
spoke
out
and
and
the
commitment
to
trying
to
achieve
that
goal.
AA
G
J
B
That
concludes
our
school
board
comments
for
the
evening
and
we
get
a
motion
to
adjourn
and.
