So
at
this

we've
done
the
roll

going
to

a
flag

join
me
in
the
pledge.
B
C
On
behalf
of
the
Anchorage
School
Board
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
and
offer
gratitude
for
the
sacred
ancestral
lands,
the
denied
a
people.
We
acknowledge
and
appreciate
that
our
offices,
facilities
and
schools
are
on
the
sacred
indigenous
lands.
We
honor
the
traditional
care
that
has
been
given
to
this
land
throughout
Generations.
We
are
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
grow,
learn,
work
and
create
educational
community.
C
A
You
very
much
we
I
would
like
to
again
welcome
everyone
to
our
meeting

thank
you
for
attending
and,
of
course,
for
supporting
the
work
of
the
Anchorage
school
district
and
the
Anchorage
School
Board.

G
E
E

B
A
Thank

Thank

to
Item

We
do
not
have
a
military

our
next
meeting
on
the
23rd,
and
our
student

join
us
again
on
the
23rd
of
January
item.
C
is
our
goal
monitoring

resume
as
well
on
123.
A
with
our
routine
conversations
regarding
report
will
be
given
at
that
time
and
then
we'll
have
our
conversation
at
the

our
first
hour
of
public

A
Our
public

A
The
school
board,
welcomes
the
public
to
observe
and
contribute
to
our
meetings
through
comments,
but
to
be
productive.
Our
meetings
must
be
structured
and
civil
rules
of
the
boardroom
do
not
attack
a
members
or
speaker's
motives.
Speakers
May
point
out
what
he
or
she
believes
to
be
the
natural
consequences
of
abort
action,
but
may
not
engage
in
speech
that
personally
attack.
Others
refrain
from
disturbing
the
meeting.
No
cheering
Applause
or
outbursts
attendees
will
not
be
permitted
to
interrupt
the
business
of
the
school
board,
no
profanity
or
foul
language.
A
There
is
no
place
in
a
public
meeting,
but
in
the
of
the
meeting
of
the
Anchorage
school
board
for
profanity
or
swearing,
no
waving
of
signs,
flyers
or
posters.
If
you
have
handouts
and
you
wish

have
them
distributed,
please
give
them
to
Ms
Foster
here
at
to
my
left
and
she
will
distribute
to
the
board.
A
The
board
president
has
a
duty
to
enforce
these
Rules
of
Civility
and
decorum,
as
such
speakers
may
be
ruled
out
of
order
for
violation
of
these
rules.
Anyone
who
does
not
adhere
to
these
rules
and
fails
to
conduct
themselves
in
a
civil
manner
may
be
removed
from
the
meeting
and
with
that
a
board
policy
9323
really
addresses
the
conduct
that
is
expected
in
the
boardroom.
A
A
And
we'll
let
Abigail
will
let
you
go
first
and
then
state
your
name,
and
then
you
can
give
your
comments
and
when
you're
done
we'll
move
over
to
Matthew,
okay.
H
Is
it
on
okay,
yes,
ready
again
hello,
Anchorage,
School,
Board,
I'm,
Abigail
Hancock?
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
me
out
and
trying
to
understand
my
point
of
view.
The
Alaska
native
cultural
charter
school,
which
I
will
refer
to
as
anccs,
is
in
desperate
need
of
a
school.
The
building
that
currently
houses,
Abbott
Loop,
which
I
am
heard
to
close,
is
where
we
should
go.
H
H
Anccs
would
invite
25
artists
and
substance
Specialists
to
come
and
teach
the
kids
this
week
provides
native
education
to
all
the
students,
even
the
ones
who
are
usually
not
able
to
afford
to
do
so,
while
those
who
are
not
connected
to
their
culture
since
covid,
we
are
no
longer
able
to
have
this
week
because
we
do
not
have
a
building
to
call
our
own
culture.
Week
was
one
of
the
best
times
of
the
year
for
me
and
was
one
of
the
things
I
was
always
looking
forward
to
I.
H
Remember:
learning
how
to
make
Native
dolls
headdresses
and
gloves.
In
one
of
the
last
culture
weeks
we
had
nccs
used
to
be
able
to
have
family
nights
connect
and
give
students,
leadership
positions.
Anccs
would
have
movie
Nights
to
fundraise
for
the
students
for
this
school
and
its
students.
One
year
we
fundraise
for
one
of
the
students
who
had
a
fatal
disease
and
couldn't
make
it
another
full
year
we
raised
money
to
provide
one
last
happy
Christmas
for
the
kid
students
helped
with
all
the
events,
not
because
they
were
forced,
but
because
they
wanted
to
help.
H
Since
we
do
not
have
a
school
to
be
all
home,
we
cannot
have
the
same
amount
of
events,
I
remember
helping
with
the
food
washing
over
the
projector
doing
of
movie
Nights
I
enjoyed
helping
out,
and
it
felt
good
and
I
felt
good
about
myself
whenever
I
did
so.
All
of
these
tiny
events
at
nccs
eventually
led
me
to
develop
my
leadership
skills
because
of
those
skills.
H
I
was
invited
to
many
events
in
my
freshman
year,
like
the
youth,
Summit,
Black
Caucus,
multiple
clubs,
which
I
then
gained
leadership
within
and
many
I
was
a
volunteer
work.
My
dream
is
to
go
back
to
anccs,
where
I
can
continue,
showing
their
love
and
allowing
kids
to
get
the
same
leadership
opportunities.
I
did
anccs
is
a
wonderful
school
and
needs
to
have
a
building,
so
we
can
finally
be
able
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
makes
our
school
unique
and
then,
and
it
makes
us
the
native
charter
school.
H
We
would
be
grateful
if
you
would
allow
us
to
live
in
the
building
that
currently
has
this
Abbott
if
they
want
to
close.
Thank
you.
I
We
need
a
bigger
space
with
a
gym,
Library
a
cafeteria,
a
art
room
with
a
sink,
because
now
we
just
use
wet
towels.
Instead
of
washing
my
hands
I
wish
we
had
a
playground
in
a
building
of
our
own
instead
of
borrowing
another
school's
space,
a
place
where
my
grandma
can
cut
seals
and
a
gym
where
we
can
throw
balls
without
breaking
something
or
hitting
someone
to
walking
Barn.
A
J
Hello,
everybody
I
am
Deja
Stevens,
a
former
student
of
Alaska
charter
school,
also
known
as
bccs
I.
Thank
you
for
I.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
this
opportunity
to
speak
ACS
need
this
new
skill
building
greatly.
There
are
many
reasons
as
to
why
they
needed
buildings
such
as
safety
issues
affecting
high
school
and
events,
have
an
okay
for
eight
in
high
school
building
in
a
in
a
high
school
building
is
not
safe
for
the
students.
High
schools
have
a
higher
chance
of
school
shootings,
fights
and
more.
J
We
do
not
want
these
kids
to
be
put
in
the
crossfire.
As
a
high
school
student
I
personally
experienced
how
violet
high
schoolers
could
be.
In
my
freshman
year,
we
had
a
huge
fight
which
resulted
in
a
building
lockdown
it's
affected,
Aces,
as
they
were
also
put
into
lockdown
and
unsure.
What
exactly
happened
happen
until
much
later,
if
rumors
were
true
that
a
student
had
a
weapon,
these
kids
would
have
them
put
in
danger,
along
with
the
high
schoolers,
a
shooting
warning
also
was
issued
last
year
from
a
student.
J
He
scared
the
parents
and
children
at
accs
along
the
students
from
East
High
School
had
made
a
huge
drop
into
then
sat
there
in
both
schools,
as
accs
has
taken.
The
upper
Benson
has
affected
Betty
Davis
East
High
School,
with
the
lack
of
classrooms
main
teachers
have
volunteered
to
the
accs,
use
their
classrooms
while
they
move
to
another.
Many
of
these
teachers
had
classes
that
normally
have
a
large
amount
of
students
enrolled
in
them.
Today,
I
have
a
classroom
that
would
fit
their
class
size.
They
had
to
schedule
for
a
smaller
classroom.
J
J
Not
only
is
efccs
troubled
teeth
with
the
issue
of
no
building.
These
high
school
is
also
trouble
with
him.
So
if
you
please,
Abbott
Loop
will
be
a
great
building
for
sccs,
not
only
not
only
that
as
Abby
had
mentions
culture
week
is
where
I
found
my
love.
Engineering
of
making
building
stuff
kids
are
unable
to
find
their
skills
and
things
that
they
love
without.
Some
of
these
events
at
nccs
has
hold
on.
Thank
you.
K
My
name
is
Tikvah
Barnes,
a
high
schooler
and
former
student
of
Alaska
native
cultural
charter
school.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
and
the
time
to
speak.
Alaska
native
cultural
charter,
school
or
anccs
has
been
without
a
building
since
covet,
and
it
has
impacted
every
detail
of
students
lives
when
we
got
our
own
building
in
2013
enrollment
increased
by
100
students.
Now
that
we've
lost
our
building,
we've
lost
students
along
with
them
classes,
are
now
half
the
size
of
what
they
were.
When
we
had
a
building.
K
H
K
K
L
K
Getting
active
is
extremely
important
to
improve
learning
and
mental
health,
or
just
for
the
kids
to
be
kids.
There
isn't
even
enough
room
to
have
our
preschool
in
the
same
place
as
the
rest
of
our
school,
as
our
preschool
is
now
in
Mountain
View,
with
the
preschool
totally
separate
from
the
rest
of
our
school.
It
is
difficult
for
kids
to
connect
and
build
a
community.
Nccs
does
not
currently
have
a
cafeteria
either.
There's
no
place
for
kids
to
get
lunch,
so
they
receive
food
from
East,
High,
School's,
cafeteria
and
eat
in
their
own
classrooms.
K
There's
not
a
classroom
for
students
to
learn
the
yupik
language,
an
important
subject
that
anccs
has
taught
for
a
long
time.
On
a
more
personal
note,
my
dream
is
to
become
a
teacher
at
nccs.
I
want
to
create
a
safe
space
for
students.
The
same
way
anccs
created
a
safe
space
for
me.
I
hope
that
when
I
return,
as
a
teacher,
anccs
has
a
place
to
call
home
without
a
proper
building,
there
is
no
room
for
physical
education
recess,
a
preschool
or
a
ubik
class.
Additionally,
there's
been
a
large
decrease
in.
N
K
B
B
A
You
all
right,
Norman,
Beasley,
the
second
on
phone.
A
O
Hey
there,
my
name
is
Christine
Harrington
and
I
am
a
staff
member
at
the
Alaska
native
cultural
charter,
school
and
tonight.
I
am
encouraging
you
to
consider
putting
the
idea
of
repurposing
back
on
the
table
and
providing
anccs
the
opportunity
to
be
housed
in
Abbott,
Loop
Elementary
in
the
event
of
a
school
closure
and
CCS,
as
you
know,
was
displaced
from
its
building
due
to
the
impacts
of
the
covet
pandemic.
And
since
then
the
school
has
been
housed
in
the
temporary
location
of
East
Betty
Davis
East,
High
School.
O
While
we're
grateful
for
this
temporary
space,
it
has
had
a
significant
disruption
to
our
students.
Our
families
and
our
staff
anccs
is
in
dire
need
of
a
space
of
our
own,
it's
necessary
for
our
students
to
meet
their
full
potential
and
for
our
community
to
thrive,
educationally,
culturally
and
socially.
O
Anccs
is
the
only
title
in
public
charter
school
in
the
Anchorage
School
District
and
our
students
are
provided
with
a
strong
sense
of
Alaska
native
pride
and
values
through
you
about
the
way
of
being.
The
safety
of
our
students
remains
a
great
concern
for
our
families
and
for
our
staff.
On
several
occasions,
we've
gone
into
prolonged
lockdowns
and
stay
puts
due
to
fights
and
other
threats
in
the
high
school.
Our
Hall
is
somewhat
secluded,
but
High.
School
still
has
access
from
three
points
of
entry
and
share
classes
within
the
same
Hall.
O
Student
safety
has
contributed
greatly
to
many
families
having
to
make
the
very
hard
decision
to
leave
anccs
until
we
do
have
a
space
of
Our
Own
the
space.
If
you
walk
through
the
Hall
of
enccs
in
our
current
location,
you
will
find
that
our
win
groups
are
being
held
in
hallways
staff
are
provided
and
staff
and
those
that
provide
educational
services
such
as
speech
and
language.
Occupational
therapy
ell
sessions
are
working
in
cubicles,
located
in
the
only
open
space
that
we
have,
which
is
also
being
used
as
our
gym
and
our
library.
O
O
In
my
position
at
ASD
I
spend
time
at
six
other
sites.
Throughout
the
year-
and
there
I
often
tell
my
colleagues
that
I
have
space
Envy
I
have
spent
the
past
several
months,
listening
to
the
school
board,
work
sessions
and
meetings
and
many
of
the
talks
about
capacity.
So
you
know
where
the
space
Envy
is
coming
from.
I
visit
buildings
with
many
many
open
classrooms
and
I.
O
P
I'm
Danielle
Rio,
the
2019
Alaska
state
teacher
of
the
year
and
national
teacher
of
the
year
finalist
you
make
a
land
acknowledgment
at
the
beginning
of
every
board
meeting.
What
does
that
land
acknowledgment
truly
mean
to
you?
Do
you
know
the
names
of
the
other
indigenous
people
who
have
lived
across
Alaska's
vast
lands
since
time
immemorial?
P
I'm
thankful
for
your
acknowledgment
of
the
athabascan
of
Putin
Adina
Ina
people
for
their
stewardship
of
these
lands.
I
hope
you
will
acknowledge
that
the
Alaska
native
cultural
charter
school
is
the
only
School
in
our
district
that
teaches
students
about
every
indigenous
group
from
our
state,
including
language,
history,
values,
subsistence
practices,
traditional
art
forms
and
how
westernized
Co
education
is
is
connected
to
all
academic
content
through
the
native
ways
of
knowing
you
have
been
acknowledged
this
land.
It
is
time
to
acknowledge
Alaska
native
cultural,
Charter,
Schools,
15
years
of
academic
and
Community
success.
P
You
must
recognize
how
not
having
a
school
building
is
affecting
anccs's
morale,
academic
success
and
enrollment.
We
have
lost
a
hundred
students
because
parents
do
not
want
their
young
children
in
a
high
school
that
has
had
lockdowns
for
violence.
We
used
to
have
a
waiting
list
for
every
grade.
Now
we
only
have
waiting
lists
for
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
grades.
Students
and
families
who
have
chosen
our
Charter
School
want
to
be
in
a
safe
place.
P
That
has
all
the
accommodations
that
every
other
ASD
student
has
a
gym,
a
playground,
a
cafeteria,
a
library,
a
place
to
call
our
own.
The
staff
and
administration
at
ASD
and
Betty
Davis
East
High
have
been
accommodating
and
kind
stewards
to
our
and
CCS
family.
We
need
a
place
that
we
can
Steward,
where
we
can
grow
with
our
families
and
provide
what
all
students
deserve
a
home.
P
Please
support
us
in
having
a
home
as
you
go
forward
with
supporting
Aquarian
charter
school
with
four
million
dollars
to
re
renovate
their
home
and
before
you
decide
to
demolish
Abbott
Loop
Elementary.
Please
afford
anccs
the
opportunity
to
Steward
a
home
whether
it's
Abbott,
Loop
Wonder
park
or
a
new
site.
We
are
diligently
fundraising
and
working
towards
finding
a
place
to
thrive,
rebuild,
be
safe
and
have
whatever
ASD
student
needs
and
deserves
a
home
kind
regards,
and
thanks
for
listening
and.
A
N
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Elizabeth.
Hancock
I
am
one
of
the
founding
parents
of
the
Alaska
native
cultural
charter.
School
I
currently
teach
Middle,
School
language
arts.
There
I
have
graduated
three
children
from
anccs,
and
you
heard
my
youngest
Matthew
speak.
He
is
currently
a
third
grader
at
anccs
Quiana
for
your
service
to
the
students
in
the
Anchorage
community
and
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
me,
speak
I
have
had
the
privilege
of
being
involved
with
anccs
since
the
very
beginning,
and
we
have
always
had
to
do
more
with
less
throughout.
N
N
Our
older
students
are
role
models
for
the
younger
students
and
we
encourage
Elders
to
spend
time
in
our
classroom,
because
this
speaks
to
the
importance
of
Education.
The
Alaska
native
Community
also
takes
care
of
each
other.
Anccs
has
been
able
to
do
this
through
family
nights,
where
we
have
fundraised
for
our
families
or
even
for
Rural
Alaska
schools.
N
We
have
managed
to
do
this
in
all
of
our
various
locations,
but
each
one
has
had
its
challenges:
our
location
in
Betty,
Davis,
East,
High
School,
this
East
High
School,
but
it
has
come
as
a
come
at
a
cost.
Parents
have
justifiable
safety
concerns
due
to
the
nature
of
a
high
school
housing,
a
kindergarten
through
eighth
grade
school.
N
I
was
extremely
encouraged
when
the
district
announced
plans
to
repurpose
existing
buildings
due
to
low
enrollment.
Until
we
moved
into
Betty
Davis
East,
High,
School
and
CCS
did
not
have
that
issue
of
low
enrollment.
We
had
waiting
lists
for
almost
every
grade.
Families
chose
our
program
because
the
cultural
component
is
missing
from
neighborhood
schools
and
anccs
has
a
unique
opportunity
to
use
ingrained
knowledge,
which
has
shown
the
best
way
for
Alaska
data
students
to
learn
Quiana
for
your
constant
and
continued
support
in
helping
anccs
raise
Future
Leaders
like
the
ones
you
just
heard
tonight.
Q
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today
and
I.
Actually,
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
last
time
I
spoke
at
a
school
board
meeting.
It
was
for
the
proposals
for
the
land,
acknowledgments
and
I
also
also
I.
I
also
would
like
to
double
down
on
the
fact
that
you
know
a
lot
of
elected
officials.
A
lot
of
government
officials
in
Anchorage
will
parade
how
they
love
to
do
land
acknowledgments
and
how
important
indigenous
culture
is
and
how
important
it
is
to
protect
it
and
promote
it.
Q
There's
not
a
lot
and
as
a
parent
of
a
first
grader
at
anccs
I
can
say-
and
this
is
his
first
year
there
I
was
super
excited
that
he
was
going
to
be
in
the
school,
because
my
son
is
afro-indigenous
and
culture
is
very
important
in
my
family
and
he
needs
to
learn
all
his
cultures
and
I
was
greatly
disappointed
that,
when
I
found
out
that
the
school
was
basically
in
the
equivalent
of
a
closet
for
a
school
building
for
ease
and
I
know
that
ease
and
I
know
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
the
school
in
the
community.
Q
But
it's
just
not
really
acceptable
as
a
parent
that
my
child
doesn't
have
a
cafeteria
doesn't
have
a
playground,
doesn't
have
a
gym
and
that
the
educational
professionals
that
I
rely
on
to
educate
him
don't
have
their
own
space.
Q
In
the
fact
that
I
mean
my
wife
and
I
spoke
to
my
son
earlier
today,
and
he
has
said
yes
high
school
students
will
say
inappropriate
things
to
them.
They
will
get
flipped
off,
they
will
not
be
treated
it's
just
it's
not.
Q
It's
not
acceptable
and,
as
a
parent
of
an
indigenous
student
I
feel
like
I'm,
being
asked
to
sacrifice
my
son's
safety
for
of
Education,
that's
founded
in
culture,
and
it's
just
it's
not
a
good
position
to
be
put
in,
and
also
you
know
and
I'm
trying
to
stay
positive,
but
you
know
being
told
that
a
building
is
going
to
be
a
school
is
going
to
be
demolished.
Well,
my
son
and
his
fellow
students
are
essentially
schooled
in
a
wing
of
a
of
a
different
high
school
or
a
different
School.
Q
It
really
makes
me
upset.
It
makes
me
incredibly
upset
and
you
know
I
know
everyone.
Elected
officials
will
say
these
land
acknowledgments,
but
you
know,
if
you
all,
don't
find
a
building
for
these
kids.
That
Atlantic
knowledge
well
doesn't
mean
anything.
It's
just
something.
You
say
it's
just
rhetoric,
and
it
means
literally
nothing
I,
think
and
especially
with
the
history
of
educational
Alaska
and
how
it
was
used
to
destroy
indigenous
culture.
Q
You
there's
actually
a
school
in
the
city
that
does
the
exact
opposite
of
that,
and
so
you
have
a
professional
responsibility
and
a
moral
responsibility
to
find
a
school
for
these
kids.
That's
appropriate
and
accessible
and
safe,
and
you
know
here's
your
opportunity
to
do
it
and
you
should
take
it
and
if
you
don't
well,
then
you
guys
are
elected
officials.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Let's
have
Cynthia
Patterson
I,
think
it's
Dr
pin
Patterson
and
then
Jay
McDonald.
R
You
got
my
last
name
right,
so
thank
you.
I
think
that
was
actually
perfect,
so
I
have
a
son
over
at
anccs
as
well
as
Michael
is
my
husband
and
yes,
pretty
much
all
of
the
things
that
he
just
said
you
know
I
can
attest
to.
We
were
really
really
excited
to
have
arson.
Have
the
opportunity
to
go
to
anccs
to
be,
you
know,
enveloped
in
his
culture
and
also
to
get
you
know
all
his
basic
Common,
Core
learning
done
as
well.
R
I
didn't
realize
when
we
enrolled
him
that
he
was
going
to
be
in
East
High
School
I
had
thought
that
they
had
had
a
building
over
on
east
side,
because
I
had
driven
past
there
before
and
I
just
assumed
that
that
was
still
their
building.
Nonetheless,
you
know
we
still
wanted
him
to
go
to
the
school,
because
it
was
really
important
for
us
to
have
that
cultural
element
for
him,
but
they
don't
have
their
own
gym.
They
don't
have
their
own
cafeteria.
They
don't
have
their
own
Library.
R
They
they
literally
have
just.
It
seems
like
one
hallway
that
is
classrooms
on
either
side
and
then
a
very
small
common
area
where
they
have
to
do
a
bunch
of
stuff.
In
that
one
area,
it's
really
unfair
to
the
kids.
It's
really
unfair
to
the
staff
My
Hope
Is
that
you
guys
consider
you
know
Abbott
loop
as
an
option
and
if,
for
some
reason
that
doesn't
fall,
you
know
work
out
then
at
least
by
the
beginning
of
this
coming
school
year,
you
guys
will
have
them
in
a
building
somewhere.
R
That's
appropriate,
like
I
said,
like
Michael
was
saying
you
know.
Our
son
has
said
he's
seen
some.
You
know
inappropriate
things
from
older
students
that
not
within
his
school,
but
you
know
within
East
High
School
I.
Don't
want
that
to
continue.
R
I
I
would
hope
you
guys
can
get
them
in
a
better
space
and-
and
with
that
said,
as
as
all
the
negative
that
has
been
said
about,
you
know
them
being
in
that
small
area,
we
would
still
have
our
son
continue
to
go
to
school
there
next
year.
You
know
for
second
grade
if
that
was
the
only
option
just
because
the
staff
is
so
great
and
what
he's
learning
there
is
so
valuable
to
us.
A
A
Let's
see
Jay
McDonald
foreign
Beasley
on
the
line,
we
can
come
back
to
him.
Yes,.
S
S
So
my
name
is
Jay
McDonald
to
start
off
with
I'm
I'm
really
perplexed
that
the
the
first
book
that
I
came
in
here
and
read
for
the
board
was
removed
from
every
Anchorage
school
that
it
was
in,
except
for
Bartlett
without
any
explanation
given,
and
that
was
perplexing
because
there's
a
process
to
go
through
for
reviewing
and
removing
books
that
wasn't
followed,
there
wasn't
any
explanation
given
on
why
it
was
removed
or
what
steps
were
taken
or
really
anything
to
do
with
those
details
and
then
at
the
same
time
it
stayed
in
Bartlett.
S
So
if
there's
nothing
wrong
with
the
book,
why
was
it
removed
if
there
is
something
wrong
with
the
book?
Why
is
it
still
in
Bartlett
with
no
explanation,
given
it's
just
it's
just
kind
of
strange
and
it's
easy
to
say
that
some
of
these
things,
like
some
of
these
books,
like
the
one
that
I'm
going
to
look
at
today,
it's
just
got
a
small
passage
in
it.
S
That's
a
little
bit
off
or
strange,
but
if
it's
not
a
big
deal,
then
why
is
it
so
important
that
these
things
are
included
in
the
book
to
begin
with?
And
why
are
these
books
all
showing
up
as
part
of
award-winning
packages
within
the
past
two
to
three
years?
And
on
that
note
too,
we
just
went
through
a
two-year
fight
with
you
know
certain
people
in
this
town,
whatever
Judy
Ellis,
was
appointed
to
be
Chief
librarian
over
at
lucac.
S
We
had
a
huge
knockdown
drag
out
fight
for
two
years
about
how
important
it
is
that
we
have
trained
qualified,
skillful
librarians.
It's
not
the
janitor
in
the
back.
That's
just
randomly
ordering
books
out
of
a
catalog,
so
it's
very
clear
that
these
books
are
being
reviewed
and
ordered
for
specific
reasons.
S
So
I
got
a
it's
a
copy
of
the
graphic
adaptation
of
Anne
Frank's
diary
and
we've
got
a
passage
in
here,
she's
talking
about
having
your
period
and
all
those
things,
but
then
it
goes
into
a
part
where
she's
in
bed,
with
one
of
her
friends,
I,
think
she's
11
years
old.
In
this
passage,
she
says:
I
had
these
feelings
even
before
my
period,
I
remember
particularly
one
night
when
I
spent
my
night
when
I
spent
the
night
at
Jackie's
Jackie,
could
we
show
each
other
our
breasts?
Why.
A
E
S
Okay,
well,
I
guess:
I
can't
continue
reading
this
book,
so
the
questions
I
was
going
to
ask
it's
in
elementary
schools.
Is
this
really
age
appropriate
for
minors?
You
might
say:
well
you
know
it's,
it's
not
really!
So
maybe
it's
okay,
that
it's
in
the
high
schools,
but
if
you
think
about
like,
why
do
we
need
adults
or
high
schoolers
reading
these?
You
know
books
with
depicting
minors
down
to
like
11
to
14
years
old,
engaging
engaging
in
sexual
conduct.
Sexual
acts.
Is
that
really
something
that
we
want
our
high
school
kids
to
be?
S
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Next
we
have
Manny
Acuna,
okay,
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I
said
that
wrong
and
Tracy
Dearing
welcome,
you
have
three
minutes.
Thank
you.
Foreign.
T
My
name
is
Mania
cunha
and
I.
Am
the
academic
policy
committee
board
president
for
the
Alaska
native
cultural
Charter?
School
we're
in
CCS
for
short,
anccs
is
in
desperate
need
of
a
home.
Our
school
has
been
displaced
since
2021
in
the
last
few
years
have
shown
it
as
imperative
that
we
operate
in
a
building
of
Our
Own.
T
We
are
currently
located
on
the
second
floor
of
Betty
Davis,
East,
High
and
don't
know
when
we'll
be
able
to
move
out
due
to
lack
of
funds
and
limited
real
estate
in
the
district
that
can
suit
our
needs
being
housed
at
Betty.
Davis
East
High
presents
many
challenges
for
nccs
that
include
limited
space,
no
gymnasium,
no
cafeteria,
no
playground
bullying
from
high
schoolers,
and
that's
just
to
name
a
few.
Yet
our
community
stays
strong.
Why?
Because
our
school
is
worth
it.
T
Our
students,
families
and
staff,
know
it,
and
that
is
why
we
continue
to
put
up
with
these
conditions
in
hopes
that
one
day
anccs
will
finally
get
the
building
it
deserves.
We
provide
our
students
with
a
strong
sense
of
identity
and
Alaska
Native
Pride,
but
our
Cultural
Mission
is
being
destroyed.
Many
of
the
activities
like
Alaska
native,
drumming
and
dancing
we
are
accustomed
to
practicing,
we've
had
to
temporarily
put
on
hold
because
it
doesn't
coincide
in
a
high
school
environment
and
is
considered
a
disruption.
T
Our
school
is
special
and
I
truly
believe
it
has
the
potential
to
be
the
premier
school
in
the
state.
We
just
need
a
chance.
The
children
of
anccs
matter
and
I
am
tired
of
seeing
them
fall
through
the
cracks.
We
are
the
only
title,
one
charter
school
in
the
district,
yet
we
are
also
the
only
charter
school
without
a
building
of
Their
Own.
T
The
Anchorage
School
District,
with
Anchorage
school
board,
has
the
unique
opportunity
to
help
accs
during
these
troubling
times
at
The.
Loop
Elementary
is
the
only
school
attended
to
be
scheduled
for
closure,
but
this
doesn't
have
to
be
allow
anccs
to
temporarily
move
in.
We
would
be
liable
for
all
the
maintenance
and
utility
costs.
Saving
the
school
district
money
in
anccs
would
have
a
safe
and
conducive
environment
to
house
our
students
and
staff.
We
are
chartered
for
310
students
currently,
and
we
only
have
about
236
because
of
being
located
at
East
High.
T
If
we
were
to
move
to
Abbey
Loop
Elementary,
it's
a
possibility
that
families
who
are
already
attending
the
school
can
continue
to
send
their
children
there.
If
they
choose
our
school,
welcomes
diversity
and
is
open
to
everyone,
it
could
be
a
winning
solution
for
all
parties
involved.
We
need
a
space
conducive
to
fulfilling
the
unique
needs
of
our
pre-k
through
8th
grade
students,
families
and
staff.
This
is
necessary
for
our
students
to
meet
their
full
potential
and
for
our
school's
Community
to
thrive
educationally,
socially
and
culturally.
T
U
Good
evening
my
name
is
Tracy
Dearing
I'm,
a
student
alumni,
Gladys
woodmeers
and
Diamond
graduated
92
started
with
the
school
district
as
a
TA
in
93.
have
been
with
his
school
district
for
nearly
30
years,
both
as
a
teacher's
assistant
and
currently
as
an
intervention
coach.
During
the
height
of
covid.
We
made
memorandums
to
our
contracts
so
that
we
could
exclude
some
of
our
substitute
teachers
and
have
our
Tas
and
our
other
support
staff
cover
for
our
teachers
when
they
were
out
to
get
an
extra
ten
dollars
an
hour
which
was
fabulous
and
it
worked.
U
We
are
at
the
point
now,
though,
we
need
our
subs
back.
My
understanding
is,
and
I
haven't,
checked
the
numbers
that
we
cut
down
to
about
10
percent
of
what
we
had
originally
from
approximately
three
thousand
Subs
to
about
300..
There
are
positions
going
open,
constantly
they're
a
special
education
classrooms
being
covered
by
non-certificated
staff.
U
We
need
help
we're
burning
out,
especially
the
special
education
classrooms,
especially
the
life
skills
classrooms.
I
am
currently
in
a
life
skills,
2
classroom.
My
teacher
went
out
with
a
knee
replacement
on
the
14th
of
December
I.
Don't
expect
her
back
anytime
soon
and
there's
no
substitute,
there's
also
currently
no
ta
she's
out
on
other
medical
stuff
and
because
I
work
in
the
school
I
do
it's
hard
to
get
subs.
Even
when
we
have
a
full
complement
of
Subs
I
work
at
Whaley,
it's
hard
to
get
people
in
there.
U
They
hear
the
name
and
they
automatically
get
scared.
We
need
your
help,
those
memorandums
they
need
to
go
away
and
we
need
to
rehire
some
subs.
We
need
to
put
out
some
kind
of
call
for
substitute
teachers
the
same
way
we
did
for
bus
drivers,
otherwise
we're
going
to
be
burning
out
our
staff
and
we're
going
to
be
losing
the
really
really
good
staff
who
care
enough
to
do
two
jobs
at
once
for
a
third
of
the
pay
that
a
substitute
makes.

there
is
any

V
M
Hi
good
evening,
so
when
you
look
at
the
memo
and
you
go
through
it-
and
most
of
you
are
aware
that
we
put
a
rough
on
a
couple
summers
ago
as
the
start
and
when
you
look
at
everything
in
board
memos
044,
it
really
does
extend
the
usable
life
of
this
building
to
15
years
plus
there
are
no
viable
options
to
relocate
aquarium
to
any
other
location.
At
this
time,
all
upgrades
to
this
building
have
been
closely
coordinated
between
cpnc,
the
Aquarian
leadership
and
APC
and
Charlie
Peters.
M
The
PM
is
here
tonight
for
any
detailed
questions.
He
knows
that
building,
probably
as
as
well
as
he
knows
his
family
at
this
point,
but
as
a
result,
the
administration
does
recommend
approval
of
board
memo044,
with
the
assumption
that
Aquarian
would
remain
in
this
facility
for
the
foreseeable
future.
D
Yeah,
thank
you
Mr
President,
so
I
guess
a
follow-up
to
Mr
Anderson
I
understand
that
we
say
for
the
foreseeable
future.
We
think
Aquarian
will
remain
in
place.
Is
the
location
that
Aquarius
currently
in
part
of
our
as
a
district,
our
our
long-term
portfolio
I
mean?
Is
it?
Is
that
something
the
district
would
use
if
Aquarian
weren't
currently
in
the
building.
M
We
did
not
look
at
that
for
a
recommended
closure
or
consolidation
in
either
round
one
or
round
two,
if
in
fact,
that
this
board
member
gets
approved
and
the
conditions
change
in
the
out
years
as
to
what
other
uses
we
could
use
for
that
facility,
we'd
look
at
it
then,
but
right
now,
because
we
have
no
other
viable
option
for
that
school
and
and
no
other
plan.
We
have
not
put
forth
a
lot
of
effort
to
try
to
figure
out
what
we
would
do
with
that
building
if
vacated.
A
M
It
is
follow
up
and,
as
I
stated
once
you
do
once
we've
got
the
roof.
You
replace
the
heaters,
the
the
doors
windows,
all
the
other,
outside
things
that
we're
going
to
do
for
this
facility.
It
would
extend
the
life
for
15
years.
Okay,.
D
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
thank
you.
Mr,
Anderson,
I,
guess
a
follow-up.
We
heard
from
members
of
the
Aquarian
APC
late
last
year
that
they
were
preferring
that
we
delay
this
item
till
tonight
to
see
through
the
school
closure
conversation.
Has
anyone
checked
in
with
the
APC?
Are
they
in
support
of
the
board
passing
this
tonight.
M
I,
don't
know
that
that
direct
conversation
has
occurred,
but
what
has
happened
with
Charlie
Peters?
The
PM
is
that
the
APC
has
picked
several
of
the
Deferred
items
that
are
not
part
of
this
contract
and
have
offered
to
pay
for
those
items
out
of
fund
balance
to
increase
the
usability
of
this
building.
So
my
assumption
is,
if
they're
willing
to
invest
their
own
funds
into
this
building
that
they
that
the
answer
to
that
is
almost
certainly
yes,.
W
Higgins,
thank
you.
I
I
do
know
in
my
brief
discussion
with
some
members
with
the
with
the
committee
that
that,
of
course,
there
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
interest
for
being
able
to
go
into
a
ASD
school
that
we
vacated
that
and
so
I.
While
I
appreciate
your
comment
that
we're
doing
this
with
an
expectation
long
term,
if
we
open
a
door
closing
schools-
and
there
are
options
here
from
a
safety
standpoint,
an
operational
standpoint.
I,
don't
want
my
vote
to
be
interpreted
that
I'm
going
to
vote
against.
Given
that
opportunity.
W
If
circumstances
change,
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
good
investment
right
now,
based
on
our
current
forecast
for
what
we're
doing
with
school
closures,
but
if
circumstances,
change
and
there's
a
better
decision,
even
though
we've
we've
invested
in
the
building
I'm
still
going
to
be
putting
whatever
the
kids
are
first,
and
if
that
involves
opportunities
that
don't
exist
today,
I
don't
want
it
to
be
interpreted
that
I'm
voting
with
that
understanding.
D
I
think
member
Higgins
articulated
I
guess
maybe
the
reasoning
or
the
underlying
concern.
Regarding
one
of
my
questions,
which
is
that
you
know
we
haven't,
we
talked
you
know
we
approved
our
guidance
at
the
last
meeting
for
the
FY
24
budget.
D
We
talked
about
how
we
were
going
to
have
to
have
additional
conversations
around
what
closures
might
look
like
for
future
rounds
if
the
board
was
going
to
pursue
that
after
hopefully,
in
my
opinion,
engaging
in
a
a
more
thorough,
a
community
engagement
process
here,
if
they're,
hopefully
a
committee
structure,
but
that's
again
a
separate
item
if,
if
that
ends
with
with
us,
potentially
moving
aquarium
out
of
this
building
and
us
not
having
another
purpose
for
this
building,
I
guess
I'm
wondering
if
we
should
spend
this
money
now
or
wait
to
see
what
the
rest
of
the
closure
conversation
takes
shape
among
the
board
here
here
in
the
months
to
come.
D
I
don't
want
to
be
in
a
place
where,
in
12
months
we're
wishing
we
had
this
this
funding
back
for
another
purpose
if
it
could
be
identified.
So
that's
kind
of
my
I
guess
the
underlying
concern
there.
V
If
I
could
just
interject
so
to
the
points
made
by
several
board
members,
you
know,
of
course,
if
conditions
change
in
the
future.
That
would
be
something
that
we'd
be
willing
to
talk
about,
but
we
did
just
want
to
save
for
the
record
that
this
would
be
investing
a
substantial
amount
of
funding
into
that
building.
V
So
we
will
need
to
have
some
sort
of
plan
for
that
building
if
conditions
were
to
change
and
to
your
appointment
for
Jacobs
I
may
ask
Jim
Anderson
to
chime
in
here
I
believe
there
are
some
fairly
time-sensitive
things
that
need
to
be
replaced
in
that
building
so
to
delay.
That
I
would
just
worry
about
the
academic
experience
of
students.
If
there
are
things
that
need
to
be
replaced
so
Mr
Anderson.
Could
you
chime
in
about
what
exactly
this
item
entails.
M
Roger
and
to
clarify
when,
when
I
stated,
that
we
would
assume,
as
an
Administration
for
the
foreseeable
future
that
they
would
stay
there,
it
means
that
we
would
not
put
them
in
a
different
facility
on
a
CIP.
Nor
would
that
be
expected
this
year,
I
I
think
in
the
last
five
years.
There's
so
many
conditions
that
have
changed
so
dramatically,
sometimes
overnight,
plus
the
school
board
that
voted
in
2018
on
on
school
start
times
is
a
completely
different
school
board
than
today's
school
board.
M
So
you
can
never
commit
future
school
boards
when
conditions
change
to
make
different
decisions.
But
there
are
some.
There
are
some
things
that
that
we
do
recommend
that
that
we
should
do
if
you
were
to
look
at
the
bid,
there's
there's
several
things
that
are
either.
M
You
know
based
off
recent
events
with
the
the
fire
and
then
the
fire
alarm
after
that
which
were
directly
related,
but
we
think
we
should
fix
the
furnaces
if
we
had
the
funds
to
fix
them
and
the
other
safety
items
and
and
would
recommend
doing
that
again.
When
you
extend
the
building
life
to
15
years.
The
fact
that
we
don't
have
multiple
contingency
plans
for
other
uses
for
that
building,
it
doesn't
mean
that
it's
not
worth
this
investment
in
order
to
improve
the
quality
of
education
for
those
students.
A
Thank
you
seeing
no
other
hands,
remember
Jacobs,.
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you,
Mr
Anderson,
to
be
clear.
I
I
support
any
investment
that
needs
to
be
made
to
provide
a
quality
learning
environment
and
a
safe
learning
environment
for
this
year
again,
my
underlying
concern
is,
if
we
are
wishing
we
had
some
of
these
funds
back
in
less
than
12
months,
and
so
I
guess
out
of
the
items
list
of
the
design,
the
Reconstruction
services
that
roof
upgrade
Etc
going
down.
What's
in
the
memorandum
is
there
which
of
those
elements
are
time
sensitive?
L
X
X
If
we
approve
it
tonight,
we're
still
going
to
go
through
it.
You
got
to
get
the
contracts.
We
got
to
get
all
the
signatures
on
that.
That
takes
a
little
bit
of
time,
and
then
we
gotta
work
with
the
contractor
on
material
orders
and
deliveries
that
always
takes
time
as
well,
so
I'm
uncertain
exactly
how
where
the
materials
are
right
now,
because
we've
held
off
the
contractor
until
we
make
the
decision
from
the
board,
because
we
don't
want
to
invest
anymore
on
the
pre-construction
services
until
until
we
make
a
decision.
X
So
since,
let's
see
October,
18th
and
I
think
11-1
we've
been
waiting
for
a
decision
to
be
made
so.
M
M
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
president,
so
thinking
long
term,
I
guess
from
a
from
a
safety
standpoint,
from
a
quality
of
learning
standpoint.
If,
if
this
board
knew
for
for
certain
that
I
mean
we
won't
have
the
certainty
tonight.
But
theoretically,
if
we
knew
for
certain
that
this
facility
wouldn't
be
utilized
by
Aquarian
or
another
program
after
the
23
24
school
year,
would
these
Investments
still
be
appropriate
and
a
wise
use
of
public
funds,
foreign.
M
I
mean
there's,
there's
so
many
possible
uses.
When
you
first
asked
I
mean
we
always
have
storage
requirements,
we
always
have.
We
could
look
at
things
like
Early,
Childhood,
centers
or
other.
There
could
be
so
many
different
options.
We
just
have
not
put
the
analysis
into
that
building
and
actually
looked
at
every
classroom
to
determine
its
full
potential
uses
for
the
district
and-
and
frankly,
we
probably
wouldn't
just
out
of
curiosity.
Unless
it
looked
like,
we
were
headed
that
direction.
M
D
I
guess
I
I,
I,
guess
I
I've,
gotten
pretty
good
accounting
before
and
so
I
think.
D
When
we
were
originally
discussing
this
a
couple
months
back,
it
seemed
to
be
that
there
was
four
votes
in
support
of
getting
a
query
in
a
permanent
home
inside
a
a
repurposed
ASD
campus
and
Administration
has
made
clear
that
they
plan
to
at
least
consider
proposing
a
future
rounds
and
recommendations
of
building
repurposed
options,
and
so,
if
that
happens
here
within
the
next
12
months,
I
think
that
aquarium
will
likely
get
serious
consideration
from
this
board.
D
What
whether
I
support
it
or
not,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
underlying
hesitancy
but
I've
exhausted.
My
line
of
questioning
and
I
appreciate
all
the
answers
and
the
information.
So
unless
there's
some
other
point
of
interest
on
this
I
I
think
personally,
I
would
feel
comfortable
waiting
a
bit
longer
till
we
had
kind
of
a
more
strategic
Vision
conversation
for
how
we
want
to
handle
future
closure
conversations
before
making
any
non-urgent
safety
Investments
for
our
students
at
that
location,
but
I
could
be
an
opinion
of
one
on
that.
So
thank
you.
W
Appears
that
most
of
the
Investments
here
is
prudent
for
the
property,
no
matter
what
we
do,
it
looks
like
it
and
so
accordingly,
that's
an
issue.
Give
me
one.
Second,
while
I
hang
up
this
phone
call,
that's
beeping
in
my
ears
along
those
lines.
I
remember
when
this
first
came
up
for
discussion.
It
was
we've
already
invested,
some
monies
to
upgrade
to
changes
and
the
kids
are
doing
good
academically.
So
it
didn't
fall.
I
I!
Don't
that's
not
going
to
be
my
criteria
of
just
being
upfront
about
it?
W
Is
it
working
now
I
thought,
maybe
that
was
deliverable.
W
What
am
I
doing,
what
are
you
doing.
W
W
It's
got
risk
factors
associated
with
it,
I
don't
think
we
can
wait
to
address
most
of
those
because
with
this
thing
may
go
on
for
years,
but
and
and
we
recognize
that
there
may
not
be
a
lot
of
school
closures,
we'll
close,
we
just
don't
know
but
I,
just
don't
like
I
said
I
just
wanted
to
address
the.
If
we
invest
in
this.
A
Let's
do
a
vote.
Thank
you
guys.
Y
You
are
just
I.
Actually,
there
was
a
question.
The
member
Jacobs
asked
that
I
wasn't
clear
on
the
answer
and
is
it
is
for
the
team
so
I
apologize
that
they
already
walked
away,
are
all
of
the
repairs
and
upgrades
on
the
list
considered
urgent
or
is
it
just
a
portion?
So
is
this
an
all
or
none
kind
of
amount
that
we're
looking
to
vote
on
foreign.
M
I
think
I
can
answer
that,
so
you
would
be
voting
on
The
not
to
exceed
Max
cost
of
the
repairs
for
the
facility.
With
this
board
memo,
as
Charlie
starts
working
with
the
contractor,
we
find
out
that
some
things
may
not
even
be
available
for
extended
periods
of
time,
he'll
be
working
with
the
APC
he'll
be
working
with
the
principal
and
and
there
likely
could
be
some
contract
modifications.
M
If
you
recall
in
August
when
we
talked
about
this
when
we
delay
it
also
from
a
contractor's
perspective
that
it
that
individual
company
can't
indefinitely
hold
that
price
as
a
valid
price,
because
conditions
for
them
change
as
well,
and
we've
seen
that
throughout
cobit,
as
certain
things
were
just
simply
no
longer
available
or
now
they
become
available.
M
So
it
really
is
a
negotiation
with
Charlie
the
contractor
working
with
the
APC
and
the
leadership
to
determine
what
will
ultimately
be
able
to
get
fixed,
and
if
certain
things
aren't
available,
then
then
we
can
work
with
the
APC.
If
there's
funding
on
some
of
those
deferred
items
that
they
really
did
want
corrected
and
and
maybe
modify
the
scope
that
way,
but
it
really
is
the
board
voting
on
the
Max
cost,
which
is
4.175
to
be
able
to
start
that
process.
Moving
forward.
A
Sure
we
were
getting
ready
to
vote
so
why
don't
you
go
on.
D
Sure
so,
I
guess
what
my
last
comment
would
be
that
knowing
we're
voting
on
the
upper
limit,
maximum
I'm
assuming
Administration
will
keep
in
mind
that
you
know
that
the
way
things
were
headed
with
Aquarian
likely
to
be
seriously
considered
to
receive
a
repurposed
building,
I'm,
hoping
that
that's
clear,
I'm,
hoping
that
you
know
we're
also
keeping
eyes
wide
open
with
this
board.
To
this
date,
at
least
as
far
as
I
can
tell,
has
an
endorsed.
D
No
fulpit
hasn't
given
a
full
throat
endorsement
to
the
idea
of
a
Pre-K
Center
and
not
versus
combining
and
opening
up
one
of
our
classrooms.
The
inside
currently
used
buildings
for
pre-k
and
the
idea
that
we
still
need
to
have
that
closure.
D
Conversation
so
I
hope
we're
keeping
all
these
things
as
wide
open
as
we
commit
to
spending
these
funds
with
the
idea
that
we
still
have
an
800
million
deferred
maintenance
backlog
or
a
minor
maintenance
items
are
still
in
the
thousands,
and
so
there's
definitely
other
purposes
for
these
funds,
and
so
that's
that
was
my
area
of
Interest.
So
thank
you.
I
can
look
yes
with
that
guidance.
Thank.
Y
G
A
And
that
motion
passes
unanimously.
That's
memorandum
number
zero.
Four!
Four!
Thank
you!
We
have
non-action
items
are
next,
so
they'll
come
back
to
you
next
week.
Well
week
after
next,
our
next
meeting,
we
have
no
more
public
comments.
That
brings
us
to
the
superintendent's
update.
V
Thank
you,
madam
president,
good
evening,
ASD
board
and
ASD
Community,
it's
great
to
be
back
after
a
wonderful
holiday
season
that
was
filled
with
a
recharging
and
reflection.
It
goes
without
saying.
The
last
semester
was
filled
with
a
number
of
unprecedented
challenges,
and
while
we
have
much
work
to
be
done
on
the
front
of
our
budget
and
other
operational
issues,
I
am
also
energized
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done
to
meet
our
ambitious
goals
and
to
put
ASD
in
a
strong
position
for
the
years
to
come.
V
So
first
off
I
do
want
to
recognize
for
the
public
a
number
of
new
members
to
the
ASD
senior
leadership
team
that
you
probably
noticed
earlier
today.
So
first
off
Mr,
Marty
Lang
is
the
district's
new
chief
of
Human
Resources,
having
previously
served
as
director
of
high
schools,
Jim
Anderson,
as
you
gathered
likely.
You
realize
that
he's
our
new
Chief
Operating
Officer
after
having
served
as
CFO
for
a
number
of
years
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
Mr,
Holland's
great
leadership
during
a
truly
unprecedented
semester
as
acting
CEO.
So
thank
you.
V
Additionally,
I
want
to
recognize
that
Andy
Ratliff,
who
the
board
is
very
familiar
with,
has
been
promoted
to
Chief
Financial
Officer
from
senior
director
within
finance
and,
as
we've
shared
previously
Mr
Sven
Gustafson
has
officially
transitioned
to
Chief
academic
officer
after
a
very
seamless
handing
of
the
Baton
from
Dr,
Stock
and
team
and
then
also
joining
academic
Services
is
our
new
assessment
and
evaluation
senior
director
Mr
Chris
Opitz
who's,
previously
our
taku
principal
fantastic
one
at
that.
V
So
with
that
said,
this
team
is
new
and
it's
also
completely
aligned
on
the
priorities
which
include
the
boards
goals
and
guard
rails
and
retaining
and
attracting
talent
to
ASD.
So
we're
ready
to
hit
the
ground
running
in
2023
and
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
achieve
our
goals.
So
I've
personally
been
blown
away
by
the
caliber
of
talent
throughout
our
organization,
and
with
this
new
group
we
will
be
laser
focused
on
the
North
Star,
which
is
ensuring
that
ASD
will
be
among
the
top
performing
urban
districts
of
our
size.
V
So,
with
that
said,
the
budget
challenges
aside,
we
have
a
real
opportunity
to
make
decisions
that
could
provide
greater
opportunities
for
students.
Some
of
these
upcoming
discussions
and
decision
points
could
be
around
a
shift
of
sixth
grade
to
Middle
School
district-wide.
It
could
also
be
following
up
on
our
conversation
this
afternoon.
A
shift
of
school
start
times
and
also
reimagining
our
approach
to
curriculum
and
instruction
and
on
the
subject
of
curriculum,
as
I
recently
shared
with
the
board
on
in
last
week's
board.
V
Connect
ASD
is
eligible
for
approximately
3.8
million
dollars
in
Grant
funds
from
the
state
to
fund
the
cost
of
implementing
a
new
Ela
curriculum.
So
while
the
decision
to
ultimately
adopt
the
curriculum
will
be
made
by
the
board,
I
have
asked
staff
to
closely
examine
this
opportunity.
The
state
has
curated
a
list
of
four
vetted
options
for
curriculum
and
in
the
coming
weeks,
groups
of
ASD
teachers
and
staff
will
closely
review
and
compare
them.
So
the
administration
can
provide
a
recommendation
to
the
board
on
how
to
proceed.
V
I
will
keep
you
posted
on
that
on
a
different
note.
I
do
want
to
State
that
the
Abbott
Loop
Community
is
at
the
Forefront
of
staffs
and
my
mind,
and
we
are
committed
to
implementing
a
plan
that
ensures
students,
families
and
staff,
receive
robust
support
and
resources
throughout
the
spring
and
Beyond.
V
Should
the
campus
be
closed
next
school
year
tonight,
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
this
planning
is
taking
place
with
the
board
and
I
will
consult
with
Madam
president
on
the
best
time
and
format
for
the
board
to
receive
more
detailed
information
on
how
exactly
we'll
be
supporting
Abbott
Loop
students
in
families
through
a
transition
and
given
tonight's
testimony.
There
may
also
be
interest
in
understanding
the
considerations
of
repurposing
the
building
versus
demolition,
as
the
administration
previously
recommended,
and
we
can
prepare
for
that
conversation
as
well.
V
V
Our
plan
will
receive
final
review
from
deed
and
I
will
also
put
this
before
the
board
for
review
this
month
and
just
to
recap,
the
plan
includes
replacing
the
teacher
conferences
scheduled
for
February,
22nd
and
23rd,
with
full
days
of
instruction
to
replacing
the
teacher
in
service
days
scheduled
for
February
24th,
with
a
full
day
of
instruction
and
then
three
adding
30
minutes
to
the
school
day
for
all
grade
levels,
beginning
January
30th
through
March
9th.
We
propose
the
instructional
date
and
30
minutes
later
in
the
day.
V
So
all
that
to
say
conversations
with
Union
leadership
on
this
topic
have
occurred
and
will
occur
this
week
and
once
those
are
complete,
I
expect
we'll
have
logistical
specifics
to
share
with
our
employees
and
we'll
also
begin
a
robust
Communications
campaign,
so
that
families
and
the
broader
Community
are
made
aware
of
what
this
proposal
entails
and
also
as
I
shared.
We
will
be
much
better
positioned
to
implement
remote
learning
should
future
weather
events
occur
this
semester.
That
concludes
my
report.
A
D
To
Dr
Brian
for
I
think
this
definitely
needs
to
be
our
District's
priority
that
we
keep
those
students
and
families
well
taken
care
of
through
the
transition
that
we've
attentively
approved.
I
I
found
the
testimony
tonight
from
the
anccs
community.
D
Very
motivating
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
to
tour
the
current
facility,
which
really
does
equate
to
kind
of
a
half
of
a
hallway
inside
Betty
Davis
East
Anchorage
High
School
earlier
this
year
with
principal
sweet,
sir,
you
know
I
think
we've
the
term
common
room
was
used
to
describe
kind
of
the
junior
I,
think
it's
pretty
generous,
I
think
from
a
from
an
architectural
standpoint,
it's
probably
best
described
as
like
a
hallway
Atrium.
D
We
need
to
I.
Ideally,
we
need
to
collaborate
with
their
APC
to
find
a
long-term
solution
to
the
extent
that
we
can
assist
them
is
repurposing
the
building
something
administration's
considered,
and
is
that
something
that
the
administration
would
be
interested
in
having
a
board
straw
poll
on,
like
we
did
earlier
in
the
in
our
work
session,
to
have
something
formally
considered
and
proposed
in
front
of
the
board.
V
Thank
you,
member
Jacobs,
through
the
president
at
a
high
level,
I
will
say
that
earlier
in
our
conversations
around
avidly,
specifically,
what
was
the
that's?
The
the
high
cost
of
replacing
the
the
sprinkler
system
I
think
that
what
was
initially
led
to
our
proposal
of
a
demolition
versus
repurposing
but
I,
will
ask
CEO
Jim
Anderson
to
comment
further
in
terms
of
feasibility
and
desire
for
more
information
from
the
board.
M
Thanks
Dr
Brian,
so
the
very
first
charter
school
that
the
administration
looked
at
for
any
repurposed
plan
was
anccs
when
we
developed
the
initial
round
one
reductions,
because
we
were
well
aware
of
the
challenges
they're
having
at
Betty
Davis's
tie
at
trying
to
provide
an
optimal
education
environment.
If
we
had
only
proposed
Abbott
Loop
and
no
other
schools
for
closure,
it
is
likely
that
we
would
have
recommended
moving
anccs
there,
but
we
had
we
had
a
list
of
six.
We
we
came
up
with
all
of
our
repurpose
plans
and
Abbott
Loop.
M
If
we
were
to
completely
renovate
or
rebuild
that
school,
it
was
so
cost
prohibitive
and
we
had
no
legitimate
repurposed
plan.
Knowing
that,
if
we
stay
in
there,
we
really
want
to
fix
the
fire
suppression
system
and
that's
why
we
recommended
that
we
would
declare
an
excess
and
give
it
back
to
the
city
again.
If
that
was
the
only
school,
we
may
very
well
have
looked
at
renovating
it
with
the
fire
suppression
system
and
putting
them
there.
They
were
our
first
highest
priority
charter
school
for
relocation.
M
M
We
would
have
to
devise
a
strategy
that
would
maximize
the
chance
of
getting
a
vendor
or
a
contractor
to
do
that
work,
but
we've
already
talked
about
it
behind
the
scenes
and
we'll
develop
a
way
ahead.
If
this
is
the
path
the
board
wants
to
go.
D
Madam
president
sure
so
I
would
thank
you.
Mr
Anderson,
Dr,
Brian
I
appreciate
the
feedback.
I
I
think
that
they're
I
think
just
from
a
basic
high
level
from
a
board
level.
At
least
there
seems
to
be
a
potential
match
there
with
we've.
You
know
the
board's
greenlit
tentatively
speaking,
one
potential
closure.
The
nccs
is,
in
my
opinion,
in
dire
need
of
of
a
home.
D
That's
my
understanding
and
conversation
during
our
break
with
members
of
the
EPC
that
their
long-term
desire
is
to
have
their
own
building
closer
to
where
their
families
are
in
East
Anchorage.
So
there
might
be.
You
know
chance
for
at
least
a
short-term
partnership
there.
That
would
benefit
students,
and
so
I
would
be
I.
I
guess
I
would
urge
us
to
consider
having
those
conversations
and,
if
that's
something
that
we
would
have
a
board
straw
pull
for
I
would
support
that.
D
I
would
I
would
support
that
conversation,
and
then
you
know
if
nothing
can't
be
worked
out,
that's
understood,
but
to
not
seriously
examine
that
to
the
degree
that
we
haven't
yet
I
think
is
potentially
a
missed
opportunity
and
so
I
guess
the
the
follow-up
question.
I
have
is
you
know,
we
need
to
have
a
more
thorough
briefing
on
this
for
sure,
but
with
transitioning
from
a
pure
closure
to
a
repurpose
for
Abbott
lube
for
at
least
a
short-term
home
for
anccs
with
that
broaden
our
fy24
fiscal
Gap,
yeah
Mr.
M
Because
they
would
be
picking
up
the
maintenance
costs
and
the
utilities
costs
I
didn't
re-figure
out
the
numbers,
but
we
would
still
have
an
overall
cost
savings,
not
counting
Capital
Improvements
of
somewhere
in
the
700
plus
range
for
the
first
couple
years.
So
it
would
not
negatively
impact
our
budget
in
any
way.
A
A
So
now
what
I'm
hearing
is
an
interest
to
put
the
money
in
the
building?
Still
move
Abbott,
Loop
families
put
money
in
this
building
and
then
move
in
and
Chris
Charter
native
cultural
charter
school
is
that
is
that
what
I'm
hearing.
M
To
provide
some
clarity,
improving
adding
in
the
fire
suppression
system,
which
was
voter
approved
a
few
years
ago.
That
is
not
the
same
as
many
of
the
refurbishment
projects
on
a
query
and
that
significantly
extended
the
life
of
that
facility.
M
W
I
appreciate
this
hobby
remember
discussions
with
the
with
Abbott
Loop,
and
originally
it
was
the
they
had
to
raise
the
roof
and
do
everything
else,
and
so
the
only
way
to
do
it
was
go
and
build
a
new
school.
Then
they
said
there's
a
way
to
go
around
it,
so
the
cost
came
way
down
to
be
able
to
to
meet
the
fire
code
requirements.
We're
always
concerned
that
fire
chief
was
going
to
close
the
school
because
it
wasn't
beating
the
requirements
and
it
needed
to
be
higher
and
it
will
change
us.
W
But
now,
at
this
point,
I
don't
know
what
the
cost
estimate
was
when
we
went
out
for
bid
to
fix
a
fire
suppression
system,
but
it's
not
involved
with
reality
rating
totally.
They
took
school
or
building
a
new
school
type
of
cost.
It
was
a
lot
lower.
It
wasn't
as
high
in
regards
to
the
anccs.
It's
kind
of
interesting
with
the
native
School
Alaska
native
school
was
that
it
released
in
the
past
that
has
been
viewed
as
one
of
our
top
performing
Charter
Schools.
W
When
you
look
at
the
demographics-
and
we
do
comparisons
of
people
attending
that
compared
to
a
regular
schools,
they
get
exceptionally
high,
and
so,
if
you
look
and
separate
the
out
just
how
high
are
they
doing?
Look
at
look
at
the
same
population
within
the
school
and
within
the?
How
well,
as
in
CCs,
is
doing
it
was
a
big
Improvement.
It
was.
W
It
was
good,
so
I
think
providing
some
type
of
support
in
that
regards
is
something
I
want
to
clearly
support
and
if
I
didn't
know,
they
would
want
to
go
that
far
away
from
where
they
are
right
now.
But
it's
something
I
hope
that
we
look
into
because
it
that
they
need
that
help,
and
they
are
it's
a
popular
school
and
they've.
W
Also,
at
one
point,
they
looked
at
the
population
and
saw
a
lot
of
population
in
the
South
I
met
with
this,
and
there
was
some
discussion
a
long
time
ago,
because
I
was
on
the
board
2009
2010
time
frame
where
they
talked
about
maybe
having
two
separate
schools
just
to
meet
the
population
demand
of
what
they
wanted
to
do
so
I
appreciate
all
the
feedback
on
this
I
I
just
want
to
share
that
I,
don't
see
you
know
because
we're
going
to
vote.
W
You
know
different
issues
out
there,
but
I
think
this
is
an
important
point
for
discussion
in
the
future,
with
ancc
Fiats
to
to
be
supportive
of
them.
I
think
it's
important.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I,
you
know
I,
guess,
there's
and
there's
there's
still
plenty
to
discuss,
and
so
that's
where
I'm
wondering
if
we
want
to.
Obviously
this
is
an
agenda
item
tonight,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
maybe
Administration
would
be
interested
in.
You
know
in
an
informal
straw
poll
whether
or
not
they
want
to
invest
future.

Let's
start
to
my
left
this
time.
Remember:
Higgins
and
I
do
have
a
time
at
nausea,
I.
W
W
I
also
appreciate
what
the
anccs
has
accomplished
and
like
I
made
rough
on
assuming
regards
to
some
of
the
data
I've
seen
in
the
past,
I
haven't
seen
the
most
recent
data,
but
when
you
compare
the
demographics
and
you
compare
the
other,
it
has
in
the
past
been
the
top
performing
charter
school
that
we
actually
have
in
Anchorage
and
that's
a
big
congratulations
on
that.
W
I
offer
my
congratulations
and
on
the
recent
promotion
and
changes
that
are
taking
place
in
the
in
the
superintendents
immediate
staff,
on
real
pleased
with
some
of
the
changes
that
are
taking
place.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
real
swan
team
that
I
look
forward
to
to
getting
their
support
and
because
the
board
actions
as
well
but
I'm
real
pleased
with
what
I'm,
seeing
and
I
think
we'll
head
in
the
right
direction
and
last
comment.
This
was
a
little
different
tonight.
What
was
different,
it
seems
like.
W
Know
I
could
be
missing
that,
whether
we
talk
about
it
with
school
times,
if
we
talk
about
the
curriculum
change
and
we
talk
about
the
impact
on
these
I
I,
look
forward
to
that
being
more
of
a
discussion
rather
than
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
current
budget
and
how
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
focus
on
the
kids
and
I
think.
That's
a
real
positive
move
and
I'm
appreciative
of
that
appreciate
the
superintendent
bringing
it
up
as
well.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Men
in
prison,
I'll
be
brief.
I
wanted
to
welcome
student
staff
and
families
back
to
the
the
the
second
semester
here.
I
know
my
teenagers
were
not
especially
thrilled.
They
adjusted
I
think
as
the
day
went
on.
I.
Think
they're
now
soundly
sleeping,
wanted
to
congratulate
all
those
Administration
who
received
new
positions
and
thank
you,
Dr
Brian,
for
forming
a
really
quality
team.
I
didn't
want
a
single
up.
D
Mr
Holland
I
think
he
was
the
the
receiving
end
of
many
of
my
phone
calls
and
so
I'm,
probably
more
than
most
so
Kudos,
and
it
was
a
pleasure
working
with
him
looking
forward
to
many
more
conversations.
So
thank
you.
F
Over
a
decade
ago,
when
the
district
would
move
to
a
be
prepared
to
adopt
and
study
new
curriculum,
the
igneous
survey
of
teachers
and
a
survey
of
parents
seeking
their
recommendations.
In
fact,
a
committee
would
be
formed
and
pick
like
a
certain
number
of
possible
recommendations
and
then
go
out,
and
it
was
a
survey
conducted
by
the
district
I'm
starting
to
think
it's
time
to
return
to
that
kind
of
a
format
to
gain
more
student
and
public
input
into
our
curriculum
process.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
member
Wilson.
How
do
you
have
any
comments.
Y
I
I
do
I'll,
keep
it
brief
as
well.
I
really
hope
everyone
enjoyed
their
holiday
break
and
their
time
with
their
families.
Asd
connect
publishes
on
Friday.
There
will
be
details
on
the
snow
closure
makeup
plan,
a
recap
of
the
work
session,
information
on
changing
School
Tarts,
the
possibility
of
changing
school
start
times
a
recap
of
the
regular
meeting
and
more
and
our
next
communication
committee
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Thursday
January
26th
at
noon.
Thank
you.
C
I
will
not
be
brief,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
First
of
all,
I
drove
my
kids
to
school.
Today.
I
really
appreciated
the
efforts
that
went
into
making
the
driving
route
wider.
It
was
significantly
safer
from
many
perspectives
and
I
even
noticed
that
the
front
of
the
we
talk
a
lot
about
roofs
in
here
and
maintaining
them
and
I
noticed
that
the
front
of
the
roof
was
shoveled
and
I
hope
that
will
support
longevity
and
good
gutter
health.
C
So
thank
you
to
everyone
who
contributed
to
the
snow
removal
efforts
over
winter
break.
I'm
interested
in
just
maybe
I
need
greater
clarity
about
which
sixth
graders
are
would
potentially
move
to
which
middle
school
and
when
so.
If
that
could
be
part
of
future
discussions,
that
would
be
helpful.
C
C
I,
don't
know
if
other
board
members
have
been
following
this
I
would
encourage
you
to
read
and
explore
what
it
might
mean
for
Education
when
it
first
appeared
on
my
radar
I
think
I
began
to
worry
I'm
a
little
less
worried
right
now
and
maybe
more
excited
than
I
was
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
heard
of
chat
gbt,
it's
a
revolutionary
AI
program,
artificial
intelligence,
trained
on
a
robust,
a
very
large
data
set
to
predict
human
knowledge
and
speech.
C
In
short,
it
can
summarize
it
can
answer
direct
questions
it
can
edit
it
can
rewrite
and
it
can
generate
in
a
highly
interactive
way.
I
had
a
long
conversation
about
this
with
my
sixth
grader
and
her
eyes
went
wide.
However,
because
programming
excuse
me
this
this,
its
programming
is
not
a
citation
or
even
plagiarism.
C
It's
generative
asking
the
same
question
to
chat.
Gpt
multiple
times
can
lead
to
different
and
multiple
answers
that
are
undetectable
by
plagiarism
detectors
and
possibly
undetectable,
even
by
really
bright
teachers,
so
chat
GPT,
as
I
explained
to
you,
my
sixth
grader.
Could
if
you
have
a
topic,
let's
say
what
are
the
causes
of
World
War
II?
It
can
generate
a
5
or
10
paragraph
essay
on
the
crosses
of
World
War
II,
and
then
you
can
further
command
it
to
revise
it
in
the
tone
of
a
high
school
sophomore
or
a
sixth
grader.
C
This
is
where
her
eyes
really
she
she
got
it.
It
can
do
a
lot
more.
It
can
generate
creative
dialogue,
screenplays
songs,
it
can
rewrite
it.
Can
it
can
do
your
editing,
I
think
it
is
going
to
radically
it's
just
it's
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
Right,
artificial
intelligence
is
coming
and
there
are
going
to
be
more
iterations
that
are
going
to
transform
what
we
ask
our
students
to
know
and
be
able
to
do.
C
C
It
cannot
really
think
outside
of
its
training
data
set.
It
doesn't
know
what
happened
yesterday,
for
example,
I
think
it
ended
in
about
2021.
It
can't
do
stepwise
assignments.
It
can't
document
like
cite
or
justify
its
reasoning
or
editing
or
provide
accurate
references
or
links,
but
NY,
but
New
York
City
schools
have
already
banned
chat,
GPT
on
their
Network
and
their
devices,
which
is
an
interesting
path
forward,
but
I
don't
think
it's
the
right.
C
So
I
I
don't
think
that
what
New
York
City
Schools
did
and
just
Banning
it
is
correct.
I
think
that
we
need
to
think
as
a
community.
Really
we
need
input
from
our
teachers
from
our
administrators
from
our
parents,
from
our
students
about
how
we
can
harness
these
capabilities,
to
support
our
students
innate
Ingenuity
and
develop
their
Nimble
skill
sets.
We've
talked
in
the
past
and
I.
Remember
our
governance
meeting
we
I
use
the
word,
nimble
and
I.
Think
right.
C
We
need
our
students
to
be
nimble
for
the
21st
century
and
I
also
think
we
need
to
increase
the
value
of
what
chat
GPT
and
these
other
AI
programs
cannot
do
right,
so
value
oral
work.
Verbal
communication
writing
in
class,
maybe
without
the
use
of
the
internet,
you
could
reimagine
right,
think
pair
share,
which
is
sort
of
an
approach
to
teaching
to
think
pair
chat.
Gpt
pair
share
right,
so
you're,
interacting
with
this
chat
bot
to
improve
your
writing
skills.
C
You
can
you
can
improve
your
analyze.
Why
did
the
chat
GPT
come
up
with
its
materials?
What's
missing,
how
would
you
improve
its
Voice
or
its
tone?
So
I?
Don't
think
that
it
is
going
to
signal
the
end
of
writing
whether
it's
an
English
essay
or
a
historical
essay
or
I.
Don't
know
a
science
lab
report,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
change
I!
Think
it's
going
to
change
everything!
I,
don't
think
we
can
send
essays
home
as
homework
anymore
and
expect
them
to
be
done
in
a
fair
and
Equitable
manner.
C
So
I'm
really
interested
in
understanding
I
think
it
can
also
help
personalized
learning
at
scale.
So
anyways
I
I
was
five
six
weeks
ago,
really
kind
of
afraid
of
this
new
thing,
but
I
think
we
need
to
embrace
it.
I'll
leave
it.
There.
A
L
L
Come
such
a
long
way
in
in
this
time
also
I
was
reminded
that
two
years
ago,
I
was
in
this
building
to
get
my
vaccination,
and
it
just
brought
back
to
me
a
time
when,
for
any
of
you
that
came
here
to
get
vaccinated,
there
was
a
real
positive
energy
out
of
all
of
it
and
I
think
a
big
part
of
it
was.
E
L
For
the
first
time,
this
was
something
we
could
do
to
really
help
the
situation
help
the
city
I
believe
it's
still
the
case
that
ASD
vaccinated
more
people
than
any
other
agency
in
the
state
which
is
kind
of
remarkable
but
I
I.
It
did
make
me
think
I
wanted
to
thank
the
staff
again
that
was
involved
in
it
for
making
it
happen.
So
many
people
at
community
councils,
the
normally,
are
pretty
negative
about
ASD
kind
of
changed
their
tone
because
they
came
here.
They
didn't
wait
in
line
too
long.
B
L
L
The
last
one
I
I,
think
I
share
some
of
memorabilities
concerns
that
we
and
and
I
kind
of
get
the
understanding
that
that
we
still
would
be
causing
a
school
and
using
our
resources
more
efficiently,
but
for
a
lot
of
people
that
watch
us
move
a
lot
of
kids
out
of
the
building
and
then
move
a
different
group
of
kids
into
a
building.
L
They
would
ask
what
the
heck
are
you
doing
and
are
you
really
saving
any
money
and-
and
we
are
but
I
I
would
like
for
the
administration
to
note
what
the
long-term
impact
is.
If
people
stay
in
that
building,
what
kind
of
costs
we're
looking
at
down
the
road?
Sooner
or
later
we
have
to
address
the
code
situations
and
different
things
that
come
up
with
that,
and
that's
that
is
kind
of
a
tough
decision,
but
otherwise
it's
really
nice
to
be
back
after
a
great
break
and
I
do
think.
L
Our
staff
has
carried
us
through
a
really
difficult
fall,
really
dealt
with
a
lot
of
questions
from
the
public
and
representatives
well
at
our
town,
halls
and
and
other
situations
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
that
again.
A
A
A
Actually,
we,
the
The
Retreat
itself,
will
start
on
the
20th
from
four
to
seven,
then
move
to
continue
on
Saturday
from
nine
to
four
and
I
will
get
the
agenda
out
as
soon
as
everything
is
confirmed,
but
prior
to
that
I'd
like
to
for
each
board
member
to
complete
this
pre-assess,
this
pre-evaluation,
starting
with
the
last
page
that
stapled
together
we've
done
this
before
we're
just
going
to
do
it
in
pairs
this
time,
rather
than
as
a
whole
group
so
and
I
have
assigned
partners.
A
Member
Higgins,
you
are
my
partner,
I
know,
I
I,
don't
know.
I
had
a
minute
there,
Wilson
and
Jacobs
you're
going
to
work
together.
Lessons
in
Holloman
you're,
going
to
work
together
and
Brian
Dr
Bryant
and
a
member
Donnelly
you're
going
to
work
together
and
basically
you're
going
to
complete
page
21
and
then
you're
gonna
just
have
a
conversation
about
pages
one
through
seven,
all
right
and
and
I
am
available.
If
you
have
questions
it's
pretty,
it's
pretty
easy
I'm
asking
that
you
get
me.
A
Your
collaborative
notes
comments
that
page
21,
especially
if
you'll
get
that
for
me,
your
scores
and
those
items
that
you
believe
we
can
do
better
over
the
next
three
months
or
six
months.
Okay,
other
than
that
be
sure
to
check
your
community
council
meeting
schedules,
because
some
of
them
have
changed
but
I,
don't
think
the
time
or
the
the
days
have
changed.
I,
don't
think
the
times
have
changed,
but
you
want.
You
might
want
to
check
those
to
make
sure
that
you
are.
A
You
know
you're,
not
missing
those,
and
with
that
those
are
all
of
my
comments.
Remember
Donnie
I
saw
your.
E
A
Oh,
oh,
they
change.
Okay!
So
that's
a
good
point
so
check
all
of
your
accounts
on
meetings,
because
days
and
times
may
have
changed.
I
also
sent
out
the
school
board
report
that
I
sent
to
the
Federation.
A
You
guys
are
welcome
to
use
it
or
add
to
it
and
make
it
your
own.
With
that,
any
other
comments
stuff
right.
You
have
any
last
minute,
no.
