I'd
like
for
Ellie
to
do
the
pledge
and
the
land
acknowledgment.
C
On
behalf
of
the
Anchorage
School
Board
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
and
offer
gratitude
for
the
sacred
ancestral
lands
of
the
design
of
people.
We
acknowledge
and
appreciate
that
our
offices,
facilities
and
schools
are

these
sacred
indigenous
lands
and
we
honor
the
traditional
care
that
has
been
given
to
this
land
throughout
Generations.
We
are
grateful

communities
on
the
sacred
land.
We
extend
continued
respect
for
the
many
cultures,
creativity
and
resilience
of
its
indigenous
peoples
to
non.
D
A
Moved
it's
been
moved
in
second
to
approve
any
yes
member
Dudley
I.
A
Okay,
we
have
remember
Donnelly,
would
like
to
move
item
six,
which
is
memorandum
number
23..
He
would
like
to
pull
it,
which
would
automatically
put
it
under
action.
A
Is
there
a
second
for
him
to
do
that
awesome?
Thank
you
moved
in,
so
that
it's
been
moved
in
second
to
amend
the
agenda
by
pulling
item
six
and
moving
it
to
item
f,
1,
f,
2.
Probably
thank.
E
B
So,
just
and.
A
A
good
point,
and
so
we'll
do
that
for
the
future.
How
about
that
right?
Now
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
move
item
number
six
under
consent
agenda
to
an
action
item.
Is
there
any
objection
to
that
all
right
see?
None!
That
item
is
moved
now,
we're
back
to
the
main
motion
of
approving
the
agenda
as
amended.
A
So
now
we
are
ready,
can
I
get
a
motion
to
we
have
the
motion
we're
back
to
the
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
as
amended?
Is
there
a
second
to
approve
the
agenda
as
amended,
we've
moved
the
item
now
we're
proven
the
agenda.
Can
I
get
a
second.
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
opposition
to
to
accepting
the
agenda
approving
the
agenda,
as
it
is
amended
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Hi,
for
those
who
don't
know,
my
name
is
Ellie
Shaw
and
I'm.
The
president
of
Sab
or
the
student
Advisory
Board
Sab
is
a
group
of
students
from
across
the
district
who
meet
once
a
month
to
discuss
different
topics,
ideas
and
any
other
things
brought
to
us.
As
representatives
of
each
High
School
in
middle
school,
we
have
our
first
meeting
of
the
school
year
next
week
on
Tuesday
September
13th
from
8
15
a.m
to
10
15
a.m.
In
This
Very
boardroom.
C
Here
we
will
introduce
new,
introduce
Sab
to
new
delegates,
go
through
the
Constitution
and
meet
the
new
and
returning
delegates
of
Sab.
This
meeting
will
be
high
schoolers
only
as
we
invite
the
Middle
School
delegates
to
the
meetings
in
a
few
months.
I
am
super
excited
to
be
able
to
lead.
Such
a
great
group
of
people
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
we
do
this
school
year.
A
A
So
that
brings
us
to
item
C
on
our
agenda,
which
is
our
goal
monitoring
and,
and
we
this
tonight
we
will
do
a
presentation
with
the
Alaska
reads:
act
which
has
been
on
board
members
Minds.
We
are
still
awaiting
for
the
data
from
the
state
so
that
we
can
continue
with
our
goal
monitoring
so
tonight,
as
a
fill
in,
we
will
be
doing
a
presentation
on
the
Alaska
reads:
act
science
of
reading,
specifically
the
act
itself.
G
Great,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
good
evening
board
and
Community.
So,
as
was
shared,
we're
still
awaiting
some
data
on
our
standardized
assessments
that
we'll
report
on
next
month.
So
in
the
interim
we'll
be
giving
a
presentation
on
the
Alaska
reads
act.
This
was
an
interesting
legislative
session
and
there
were
a
number
of
positive
things
that
occurred
for
education
and
I
would
say.
One
example
of
that
would
be
the
bipartisan
effort
to
pass
the
Alaska
reads:
act.
G
H
In
April,
the
state
hosted
the
Alaska
science
of
reading
Symposium.
This
was
a
state
event
and
all
Educators
were
invited
from
around
the
state.
There
were
over
1
000
people
who
attended
this
event,
and
it
really
was
the
kickoff
event
for
the
state
to
begin
their
Journey.
Supporting
the
science
of
reading.
H
So
what
is
the
science
of
reading?
This
is
a
body
of
research
that
is
now
considered
settled
science,
and
it
provides
the
empirical
evidence
with
how
the
brain
learns.
How
to
read.
This
research
doesn't
tell
a
teacher
exactly
what
to
do.
However,
it
does
share
what
best
instructional
practices
are
that
lend
to
improved
outcomes
for
students?
H
So
the
Alaska
reads:
act.
Legislation
was
first
introduced
around
October
of
2021.
It
went
through
many
iterations
until
it
was
finally
passed
in
May
of
this
year.
Asd
was
actively
involved
in
this
process
in
the
passing
of
this
law,
and
many
staff
members,
including
myself,
testified
throughout
this
process.
H
So
this
legislation
supports
four
main
areas
of
Education:
it
expands
Universal,
Pre-K
programs.
The
state
is
in
the
process
of
developing
a
state
reading
program.
Its
whole
goal
and
focus
is
on
improving
the
state's
reading
scores
and
it
supports
a
virtual
education
plan
for
the
reporting
requirements.
H
H
The
state
department
has
developed
a
strategic
plan
for
reading,
which
includes
the
requirements
of
the
Alaska
reads,
act
and
provides
further
support
in
Reading
across
the
state.
This
plan
will
focus
on
supporting
schools
so
that
all
students
read
at
grade
level
by
the
end
of
third
grade.
There
are
six
areas
of
the
plan.
We
will
look
at
these
six
areas
and
relate
it
to
what
we
do
here
in
ASD.
H
And
the
state
reads
says:
if
we
provide
professional
development
in
the
science
of
reading
for
teachers,
paraprofessionals
and
leaders,
then
adults
will
have
strong
skills
for
teaching
evidence-based
reading
and
reading
proficiency
will
increase
for
students
within
ASD.
Professional
development
is
a
strong
component
and
is
aligned
to
the
science
of
reading
ASD
had
its
first
new
teacher
Academy
prior
to
the
school
start.
We
had
over
200
new
teachers
trained
on
the
mission
and
our
curriculum.
H
We
will
continue
training
these
new
teachers
and
our
existing
teachers
throughout
the
school
year.
Our
instructional
coach
coaches
also
conduct
trainings
at
their
sites
based
on
school
needs
throughout
the
school
year.
There
are
many
training
opportunities
to
build
knowledge
and
understanding
around
the
science
of
reading,
which
includes
theater,
which
includes
the
instructional
coaches,
training,
the
principal
IC
partnership
meetings
and
our
mtss
leadership
meetings.
We
have
a
trainer
of
trainers
models,
so
we
continually
train
our
instructional
coaches
to
support
their
buildings.
H
The
second
strategy
the
state
is
providing
is
evidence-based
materials
and
they
say
if
we
provide
support
with
evidence-based
reading
curriculum
materials,
then
teachers
and
paraprofessionals
will
have
evidence-based
tools
to
use
and
reading
proficiency
will
increase
for
students
in
our
school
district.
We
have
an
aligned,
evidence-based
curriculum,
which
is
our
National
Geographic
reach
for
reading.
We
also
have
our
priority
plans,
which
ensure
that
alignment
to
the
science
and
the
standards
and
we
use
our
instructional
routine
template
cards
which
enhance
our
program
by
providing
that
explicit
instruction.
H
H
The
third
bucket
is
early
lean,
reading,
Early
Learning,
the
state
says.
If
we
increase
and
support
Early
Learning
access
this
in
the
state,
then
more
students
will
have
access
to
high
quality.
Early
Learning
and
students
will
demonstrate
an
increase
Readiness
for
schools.
Asd
is
aligning
the
Pre-K
programs
with
kindergarten.
Pre-K
also
teaches
the
hegarty
phonological
awareness
program.
There
will
be
an
alignment
with
the
fast
Bridge
Universal
screening
between
Pre-K
and
kindergarten,
and
there
are
now
more
opportunities
for
students
to
attend
preschool
in
our
district.
H
H
The
fifth
budget
bucket
is
the
science
of
reading
resources,
data
and
communication.
If
we
provide
a
system
of
communication
to
include
evidence-based
reading
data
reports,
feedback
and
resources,
then
stakeholders
will
have
input
and
knowledge
regarding
reliable,
evidence-based
resources
and
implementation.
Data
and
reading
proficiency
will
increase
for
students
as
a
district.
We
have
been
accumulating
and
continue
accumulating
our
science
of
reading
resources
for
staff
and
Families.
H
H
Asd
is
supporting
the
science
of
reading
and
evidence-based
instruction
by
training
the
new
Educators,
as
I
mentioned
before,
through
that
new
teacher
Academy
and
the
continued
professional
development
throughout
the
school
year.
Asd
has
also
been
working
collaboratively
with
UAA
to
ensure
upcoming
Educators,
learn
about
the
science
of
reading
and
evidence-based
practices.
H
We
this
next
slide
highlights
where
we
are
and
where
we
need
to
go
in
relation
to
Student
Learning.
We
presented
this
data
last
spring.
H
H
So
that
last
slide
was
really
looking
at
student
learning,
and
now
this
slide
is
a
snapshot
of
how
students
are
being
instructed.
This
data
was
from
the
last
year's
implementation
snapshot
when
we
conducted
a
snapshot.
We
are
observing
during
the
reading
block
to
see
how
the
instruction
is
aligned
to
the
plans
and
the
science
of
reading
55
of
classroom
teachers
were
teaching
one
of
those
five
components
of
reading.
We
know
we
can
do
better
than
that.
H
78
of
classroom
teachers
were
using
District
materials.
The
goal
is
all
teachers
using
District
materials,
because
we
know
that
these
materials
are
aligned
to
the
science
of
reading
and
they're
evidence-based.
We
also
know
the
mobility
rate
in
our
district
is
high,
and
by
providing
a
consistent
approach
to
instruction
for
all
students,
then
we
know
that
we
have
students
being
able
to
have
the
instruction
they
need
for
that
science
and
that
alignment
and
third,
a
big
piece
that
we
look
at,
is
that
students
are
actively
and
cognitively
engaged
in
their
learning.
Students.
H
Brains
should
be
working
during
that
reading
block.
So
this
would
look
like
all
students
responding
instead
of
only
one
answering
a
question
and
maybe
a
group
working
together
on
a
we
do
part
of
that
instruction
after
it
has
been
modeled
from
the
teacher.
So
we
know
that
we
can
also
improve
in
that
55
percent
of
our
classroom.
Teachers
were
utilizing
some
type
of
Engagement
strategies,
so
we
hope
to
support
that
engagement
of
all
students
and
their
learning
foreign.
H
H
H
We'll
continue
to
focus
on
professional
learning.
We
are
excited
to
have
the
instructional
coaches
back
in
their
roles.
Supporting
this
work
will
provide
learning
walks
to
support
the
job
embedded,
learning
around
evidence-based
instructional
practices
and
the
science
of
reading
schools
have
monthly
data
meetings
to
determine
if
any
instructional
shifts
need
to
be
made
to
support
students
and
on
September,
22nd
and
23rd.
We'll
have
our
first
of
three
of
our
mtss
data
meetings
to
do
that.
Deep
dive
into
school
data
to
determine
those
next
steps
at
that
school
level.
H
H
And
this
next
picture
is
an
example
of
a
resource
that
we
added
this
year.
You'll
each
get
one
of
these
science
of
reading
defining
guides.
This
guide
was
produced
by
the
reading
league
and
some
of
the
top
educational
researchers
contributed
to
this
guide
like
Louisa
moves.
This
resource
has
been
shared
with
instructional
coaches
building
staff,
and
principals
and
buildings
can
also
share
this
resource
with
parents.
H
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
and
the
update
when
the
board
met
earlier
this
year
for
its
Retreat,
we've
discussed,
informally
a
couple
of
ideas,
one
expanding
and
thinking
outside
the
box
as
to
an
increasing
opportunity
for
professional
development
more
than
what
we
have
in
the
past.
Given
the
urgency
that's
there
and
the
other
item
was
adding
an
interim
goal
related
to
adoption
and
implementation
of
the
curriculum
with
Fidelity
and
having
that
snapshot
as
an
interim
measure.
So
we
can
have
something
to
shoot
for
this
year,
I'm
curious
for
the
administration.
G
Yes,
thank
you
through
the
president
of
member
Jacobs.
We
are
thinking
through
potential
adjustments,
as
it
relates
to
the
interim
goal
and
as
I
shared
at
The.
Retreat
I
still
feel
strongly
that
additional
time
for
professional
development
for
teachers
is
something
I'm
very
passionate
about
and
interested
in,
exploring
more
and
of
course,
there
are
some
implications
with
the
current,
a
agreement
and
other
things
that
make
that
more
of
a
long-term
goal
than
something
immediate.
A
Thank
you,
Dr
Bryant
member
Higgins,
your
question.
I
Oh
am
I
on
now,
maybe
so,
and
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
I
think
the
issue
of
phonics,
being
there
is,
should
be
indisputable
now
for
the
all
the
evidence
that
is
out
there.
But
what
hits
me
is
the
number
of
Staff
who
are
not
following
who,
with
directions
and
the
concerns,
and
when
I
talk
to
them.
They
they
give
me
a
number
of
different
reasons
and
I'm
wondering
what
you're
hearing
the
concerns
are
it
I.
I
You
know
we
want
to
measure
a
progress,
advancement
and
they're
concerned
that
the
reading
material
isn't
appropriate
from
third
grade.
Let's
say
for
kids
that
are
reading
that
first
grade
level
or,
if
they're
in
fifth
grade
level,
if
they
wanted
them
to
advance
other
than
just
spending
the
win
time,
they're,
giving
them
different
material.
And
that's
that's
a
concern
to
me.
I
I
think
our
goal
is
that
all
kids
are
advancing
not
just
trying
to
teach
to
the
test
for
the
for
the
reading
proficiency
and
I'm
wondering
if
you're
hearing
the
same
thing
or
how
we
might
respond
to
that
issue,
because
I've
had
teachers
crying
about
the
issue
of
having
psychic
graders
second
grade.
Having
first
graders
that
you
know
in
class,
they
couldn't
know
the
alphabet,
I
didn't
know
they
were
because
of
the
pandemic.
I
They
were
behind
and
they're
being
told
teach
with
Fidelity,
given
the
second
grade
reading
material
anyway,
and
it
don't
feel
like
they're
helping
I've
heard
that
from
principals
I've
heard
that
from
teachers.
So
the
numbers
are
not
surprising
here,
because
my
goal
has
always
been
all
kids
are
advancing
and
not
just
trying
to
get
the
grade
level
for
the
test
up.
So
I
guess
my
I'm
wondering
if
you're
hearing
that
how
are
we
responding
to
that
type
of
concern,
because
I
do
believe.
I
It's
legitimate
and
I
do
believe
that
they're
telling
me
this
with
sincerity
that
they
care
about
kids
and
they
want
all
kids
advancing.
They
want
to
find
a
better
way
to
advance
them
when
they're
behind
and
sticking
with
that
reading
material
in
psychic
grade.
It
is
not
helping
the
kids
who,
at
kindergarten
level,
reading,
okay
and
and
so
there,
if
they're,
going
outside
of
the
materials
being
provided
it's
because
of
their
commitment
to
help
every
kid
grow
and
I'm
wondering
how
you
respond
to
what
do
we?
A
G
Sorry
correct,
so
we
did
answer
a
portion
of
that
concern.
Inboard
connect
if
there's
anything
additional
that
my
colleagues
would
like
to
share.
You're
welcome
to
do
so.
H
Thank
you
through
the
president
to
member
Higgins.
Thank
you
for
the
question
excellent
question
because,
as
our
mission
States
right,
we
make
sure
all
students
are
successful,
so
that
comes
through
our
mtss
infrastructure
and
our
instructional
coaches,
really
helping
teachers
figure
out
exactly
what
do.
Groups
of
students
need,
and
we
have
many
different
well
first.
The
first
level
is:
there
is
an
obligation
for
every
student
to
learn
grade
level
standards
and
again
we
have
a
curriculum.
That's
aligned
to
those
standards
that
all
students
for
consistency
and
standards
sake.
H
All
students
need
to
get
a
level
of
grade
level
learning,
so
that's
the
first
basis
and
then
from
that
you
differentiate
so
as
students
that
maybe
aren't
on
grade
level
you're
going
to
change
that
instruction
to
meet
their
need
to
help
them
catch
up.
It
may
be
something
you
do
in
the
core.
We
have
what's
called
our
intensified
plan,
which
all
schools,
instructional,
coaches
and
principals
know
it's
available
to
them.
H
We
have
our
instruction
our
intensified
plan
that
helps
that
core
for
those
students
that
are
are
needing
ketchup,
that
pairs
with
the
wind
to
help
them
catch
up.
But
then
we
also
have
that
differentiation
for
students
that
are
higher
and
can
then
utilize
materials
that
enrich
them
and
help
them
grow
from
where
they
are.
So
it
is
doable
within
a
building.
But
it's
all
through
your
mtss
infrastructure
and
how
you
manage
your
resources
and
the
supports
for
students
to
make
sure
you
meet
everybody's
needs,
foreign.
A
Did
you
have
a
question?
No
okay,
member
lessons
we'll
come
to
you.
J
Sure
I
actually
have
a
number,
but
I'll
just
put
one
in
line
right
now.
You
know,
looking
at
your
presentation.
Thank
you
very
much
one
one
area
that
I
I
don't
see
anything
and
I
realize
it's.
Maybe
Beyond
The
District's
scope
is
how
do
we
teach
parents?
How
do
we
partner
with
parents
to
support
their
children
at
this
time?
J
We
can
work
with
our
teachers
within
our
schools,
but
how
do
we
translate
that
expand
to
to
broaden
that
that
network
of
support
that
we
can
offer
to?
You
know
a
child
so
that
those
practices,
those
best
practices
can
be
practiced?
You
know
when
you're
sitting
at
the
kitchen
table
or
reading
at
bedtime
or
or
having
that
sort
of
parent-child
Guardian
child
back
and
forth.
That
will
support
their
learning.
What
can
we
do
better
to
support
parents
in
that
respect,.
G
Sure
and
I'm
happy
to
share
I
think
that's
a
great
point
in
terms
of
the
parent
role
when
it
comes
to
increasing
reading
proficiency.
I
didn't
go
a
step
further
and
think
about
ways
in
which
we
can
help
their
our
own
parents
on
their
journey
to
achieve
literacy.
Thinking
about
supports
to
help
them
connect
their
education
so
that
all
of
our
families
are
empowered
with
the
tools
that
literacy
affords
them.
If
there's
anything
currently
in
practice,
please
feel
free
to
share.
K
Through
the
president
to
his
lessons,
I
would
say
that
right
now,
it's
site-based
and
in
terms
of
what
they
offer
for
parents,
for
example,
Title
One
schools
have
family
nights
and
at
those
family
nights
they
share
with
parents
how
how
to
support
their
kids
at
home,
and
so
one
of
the
nights
would
be
or
would
be,
the
K1
teachers
coming
to
teach
their
their
parents
how
to
support
their
kids
with
reading
at
home.
A
And
if
I
could
just
add,
I
think
there's
lots
of
opportunities
for
us
to
partner
with
local
organizations
that
that
are
doing
a
literacy
thing.
I
mean
they
are
working
with
parents,
they're
working
in
our
schools,
with
our
kids
and
I.
Think
part
of
one
of
part
of
the
Mosaic
of
reading
and
the
science
of
reading
is
to
give
everybody
those
foundational
skills
at
least
awarenesses,
if
not
skills,
so
that
we
can
create
that
safety
net.
A
So
I
think
that's
an
excellent
question
as
well
as
a
maybe
something
we
can
maybe
focus
on
even
more
as
as
we
build
our
Partnerships.
Yes,
member
Wilson.
L
I
appreciate
member
Jacob's
question
about
professional
development
and
thank
you,
Dr
Bryant,
for
your
response
as
well,
because
I
continue
to
hear
from
teachers
and
Educators
that
professional
development
and
collaboration
opportunities
are
a
key
component
that
is
lacking
for
staff.
So
I
appreciate
that
Focus.
That's
just
my
comment.
I
do
have
a
question
last
school
year,
I
know
stopping
was
quite
an
issue.
Is
there
an
expectation
that
schools
are
going
to
be
staffed
well
enough
to
give
our
the
instructional
coaches
the
opportunity
to
focus
on
their
primary
tasks.
G
Absolutely
on
the
site,
but
Beast
level,
and
also
at
the
secondary
and
Elementary
levels,
we're
constantly
looking
at
Staffing
to
ensure
that
schools
have
a
baseline
of
staff
that
they
need
to
implement
these
ambitious
goals
and
if
they
aren't
currently
staff
for
whatever
reason,
we're
looking
at
all
the
ways
to
make
sure
that
we
have
classroom
staff
by
capable
certified
individuals
in
the
classroom.
It
really
depends
by
campus,
but
at
a
high
level.
We
know
that
we
can't
achieve
our
reading
goals
if
we
don't
have
adequately
staffed
classrooms.
A
Good,
thank
you
so
I
think
I'm.
Next,
in
the
queue
I
have
a
just
a
couple
of
questions.
One.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
collaboration
that
you're
doing
with
UAA?
How
are
we
collaborating
with
them
for
that
early
literacy
piece?
Do
we
have
or
are
we
working
on
that?
Still
it's
in
progress
It's
in
progress,
okay
and
then
my
other
question
got
too
many
notes.
Here
I
guess
I'll
stop
there
for
now,
because
I
had
the
same
question
that
member
lesson:
staff.
A
Okay,
so
remember:
Donley
did
you
have
questions
not
right
now,
okay,
anybody
else
have
questions
we'll
go
back
around.
Remember
lessons.
J
So
I
was
recently
informed
the
deed.
This
is
more
of
a
higher
up
level.
Questions
I
can't
answer
it
then.
J
Deed
might
be
working
with
Colorado,
Arkansas,
Mississippi
Kentucky
to
approve
sort
of
a
bigger
list
or
set
of
ela
materials
for
Alaska.
But
I
looked
at
the
cup
like
Colorado's.
Most
recent
list,
which
was
approved
in
May
I,
haven't
looked
at
the
other
states
and
that
Colorado
list
doesn't
include
cengage.
J
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
when
deed
will
have
a
list
of
approved
curricular
materials?
Yet,
and
if
so,
are
we
confident
that
cengage
will
be
part
of
that
approved
list?.
G
I
have
not
been
engaged
with
deed
as
it
relates
to
that
list.
That's
certainly
something
that
we
can
look
further
into,
so
we
can
give
more
definite
timeline.
B
A
Any
other
questions
for
our
staff,
so
the
thirty
dollars
I,
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
I
think
we
got
thirty
dollars
right.
Thirty
dollars,
it's
going
to
be
next
year
for
literacy.
Is
that
right?
No
we're!
Not!
We
got
point
five.
We
got
something
from
part:
five,
okay,
so
that
point
five
have
we
discussed
yet
Dr
Bryant?
Have
we
done
and
I
heard
more
preschools
I.
Think
I
heard
that
so.
G
We're
looking
at
making
sure
that
we
have
expansive
access
to
high
quality
preschools.
We
have
a
number
of
preschools
already
here,
Urban
number
of
pre-K
programs
already
here
in
ASD.
The
one
thing
that
the
reading
act
grants
districts
is
that
0.5
funding
for
per
pupil.
Obviously
that's
not
enough
to
cover
an
entire
Pre-K
classroom,
a
number
of
districts.
They
leverage
a
head
start
in
combination
with
their
own
preschool
programming
and
they're
able
to
swing
it
in
ASD.
It's
a
little
bit
more
complicated.
G
Just
given
the
numbers
of
pre-ks
that
we
have
in
the
system.
We
also
have
to
think
about
grade
three
pre-ks
versus
grade
four
Pre-K
and
there
are
a
lot
of
moving
pieces,
and
for
that
reason
we
don't
have
a
firm
recommendation
for
what
we'll
do
with
the
additional
funding.
So
we
can't
commit
to
more
preschools
but
know
that
we're
looking
into
it
to
make
sure
that
all
students
have
access
to
a
high
quality
preschool
okay,
if
that
makes
sense,
whether
it's
through
seats
or
through
additional
programs.
Okay,.
J
Yeah,
this
is
sort
of
another
question.
What
what
sort
of
date
I
mean
we
are
looking
at
student
data
multiple
times
a
year
and
I
I
guess
I
assume
that
we're
inter
we're
also
looking
at
the
efficacy
of
our
instructional
coaches.
Our
summer
school
interventions,
I
mean
how
are
we
going
to
compare?
How
do
we
know
what's
effective
with
all
these
different
sort
of
applications
of
funding
towards
these
different
different
initiatives?
How
do
we
know
what
what's
the
best
thing
for
about?
What's
the
highest
Roi.
G
I
think
one
thing
that
was
really
interesting
is
I
toured
our
summer.
Schools
was
I,
got
to
see
not
just
the
instruction
to
our
students
during
the
summer,
but
also
the
ongoing
snapshots,
just
small
easy
to
administer
assessment
that
provide
us
data
to
inform
one,
the
day-to-day
instruction
of
the
teacher,
but
two,
the
efficacy
of
something
like
a
summer
school
overall.
So
that's
something
that
we're
actively
monitoring,
especially
now
that
we
have
a
new
standardized
test
for
Alaska
in
the
fold.
G
Now
is
a
perfect
time
to
really
understand
how
we
can
leverage
our
data
to
tell
the
board
hey
summer
school
program
is
going
really
well,
we
want
to
expand
it
or
be.
Maybe
we
need
to
focus
more
on
those
during
school
time
or
during
the
school
year
intervention.
So
that's
something
that
we
are
looking
at,
especially
with
a
new
data
at
our
fingertips.
A
J
I
came,
I,
came
ready
to
read
or
talk
about
reading
ready,
so
I
I
think
I
saw
that
last
week,
ish
nape
scores
were
released
for
nine-year-olds,
Nationwide
and
I,
wonder
and
it
sort
of
showed
declines
in
in
reading
and
math
and
widening
gaps.
But
do
we
know
anything
about
ASD
participants
yet
or
is
that
data
simply
just
a
federal
snapshot.
G
I
believe
it's
a
snapshot
that,
oh
sorry,
Dr
Stock.
Would
you
like
to
chime
in
okay,
so
yeah?
We
I
am
aware
that
the
data
is
available
and
my
understanding
is
that
nape
is
conducted
by
doing
small
sample
sizes
in
groups
of
students
across
the
nation.
So
in
terms
of
Alaska
specific
data
Dr
stock,
do
you
have
specific
insights
you'd
like
to
share
I.
N
Was
just
going
to
share
through
the
president
that
we
always
administer
it
we're
a
big
part
of
that
test
in
the
state,
but
they
do
not
provide
state
district
level
data
on
names.
So
we
never
can
sort
that
out
specifically
with
the
nape
test.
We
can
only
do
our
own
linking
studies
and
looking
at
how
nape
scores
relate
to
our
own
AK
star
scores.
The
last
time
we
really
looked
at
that
there
was
a
fairly
close
alignment
between
the
proficiency
rating
of
difficulty
on
nape
and
the
proficiency
ratings
that
the
Alaska
used.
K
A
A
A
A
Comments
may
also
be
submitted
in
writing
and
they
will
be
attached
to
the
agenda.
So
during
public
comment
board
members
will
not
answer
specific
questions
or
engage
in
discussion
with
members
of
the
public.
This
is
the
Public's
time
to
speak
and
the
board's
time
to
listen.
A
So,
as
you
enter
the
boardroom,
there
was
a
blue
and
white
sheet
that
that's
entitled
simply
welcome
to
the
ASDF
Center,
and
in
that
sheet
you
will
find
audience
participation
and
the
rules
of
the
boardroom
and
I
won't
read
them
to
you.
But
I
do
I
will,
as
the
president
of
the
board
I,
have
to
enforce
those
rules,
as
well
as
keep
order
and
structure
to
our
meetings.
A
A
These
rules
require
the
board
and
the
public
to
be
civil
and
respectful
of
each
other's
opinions
and
statements
and,
as
I
stated
as
the
president
of
the
board,
it
is
my
duty
to
enforce
the
Rules
of
Civility
and
decorum
as
such
and
consistent
with
rubber's
Rules
of
Order
I
have
the
authority
to
rule
any
speaker
out
of
order
for
violation
of
these
rules
or
fail
to
conduct
themselves
in
a
civil
manner
and
I
do
call
your
attention
to
the
handout
that's
at
the
front
of
as
you
come
into
the
boardroom,
and
with
that
we
get
priority
student
testimony
at
least
status
to
our
students,
and
we
have
two
tonight
and
we're
excited
and
so
Thomas
Kushner
Thomas
are
you
here?
A
M
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Rose
constanstein
I'm
in
fifth
grade
at
Inlet,
View
I
live
on
H
Street
I've
been
going
to
Inlet
View
since
kindergarten
I
love
the
school
and
I.
Think
it's
an
amazing
school,
but
it
could
get
better
and
we
could
do
that
with
a
replacement.
M
I
think
it's
really
important
to
have
a
clean,
safe
learning.
Environment.
M
M
We
also
need
a
new
library.
A
lot
of
we
have
a
sort
of
small
Library,
I
love
to
read.
So
I
would
love
a
new
library,
the
we
have
a
multi-purpose
room
which
is
the
gym.
We
have
our
gym
class,
it's
a
cafeteria
and
it's
in
the
assembly
room,
it's
small
and
has
many
uses.
We
need
a
larger
one
in
separate
places
for
lunch.
M
A
B
A
Looking
for
Thomas
next,
we
have
Mr
Denny,
Constance,
Stein,
I
bet
I,
got
it
wrong
that
time.
O
O
That's
what
what
I
think
I
I
think
that
an
interview
replacement
would
help
achieve
that
goal,
but
that's
really
what
what
I'm
looking
for
and
as
a
parent
and
as
a
community
member
I,
see
the
school
I'm
in
the
school,
and
you
really
can't
miss
the
needs
that
this
building
has
the
maintenance
needs.
The
safety
needs,
so
I
I
see
that
and
I
I
was
just
heard.
You
please
don't
delay
this
funding,
because
delay
has
costs.
O
And
Delay
has
impacts
on
the
community
on
the
neighbors
and
on
the
students
and
the
Educators
so
again
just
to
urge
you
to
support
funding
for,
in
the
view,
replacement
thanks.
A
P
Good
evening
school
board
and
Dr
Bryant
Welcome
to
Alaska,
my
name
is
Eileen
Foyle
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
draft
resolution
that
was
proposed
by
I
believe
Kelly
lessons
Margot
Bellamy
in
reference
to
training
our
community
on
how
to
be
smart,
around
storage
of
weapons
or
firearms.
P
P
The
resolution
in
front
of
us,
the
smart,
be
smart,
sorry
promoted
by
Margot,
Bellamy
Kelly
lessons
and
Dora
Wilson
is
one
in
which
I
am
here
to
testify
in
favor
of
tonight.
My
goal
is
to
enlist
your
help
in
encouraging
responsible
gun
ownership
in
our
state,
where
the
Firearms
do
play
a
huge
role
in
our
culture.
Schools
are
the
central
point
in
our
communities.
P
Every
year
hundreds
of
children
under
18
in
our
nation
gain
access
to
firearms
and
unintentionally
accidentally
shoot
themselves
or
someone
else.
Firearms
are
the
leading
cause
of
death
among
children
and
teens.
In
our
great
state
of
Alaska
gun,
violence
costs
Alaskan
tax
player
payers,
44.5
million
dollars
each
year
as
a
collective
I,
firmly
believe.
P
We
agree
that
the
safety
of
students,
all
of
our
students,
is
our
highest
priority,
while
serving
as
a
teacher
I
know,
it
remains
for
me
as
a
mom
and
grandma
I
feel
compelled
to
speak
now
on
how
we
can
address
this
both
to
delicate
and
tragic
topic.
The
resolution
and
consideration
is
a
safety
initiative
entitled
be
smart.
Its
framework
encourages
Educators
parents,
Guardians
and
significant
adult
figures
to
normalize
the
conversations
about
gun
safety
and
importantly,
take
responsible
actions
that
can
prevent
gun
deaths
and
injuries.
P
Storing
firearms,
unloaded,
locked
and
separated
from
ammunition
can
and
will
save
children's
and
teens
lives.
The
acronym
be
smart,
represents
secure
all
guns
in
homes
and
vehicles,
model
responsible,
behavior,
around
guns,
ask
about
the
presence
of
unsecured
guns
in
others.
Homes
recognize
their
role
of
guns
in
suicide.
Tea.
P
You
have
30
seconds,
tell
your
friends,
neighbors
community
members,
young
people
and
children
to
remain
Smart
in
summation.
An
education
program
is
available
to
our
community
Through,
be
smart.
I
urge
you
to
consider
providing
these
pivotal
Keys
toward
keeping
our
community
healthy
and
thriving
I,
appreciate
your
time
and
consideration
and
would
like
to
piggyback
onto
a
point
earlier
in
reference
to
the
science
of
reading.
If
we
want
to
improve
student
outcomes,
it
starts
with
us
if
we
want
to
provide
okay.
Q
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
testify
I'm
also
here
to
testifying
the
support
of
the
proposed,
be
smart
addition
to
the
Anchorage
School
District
I
too,
am
a
mother,
a
grandmother
and
a
retired
Anchorage
School
District
kindergarten
teacher,
one
of
the
lessons
I
talked,
was
that
if
a
child
found
matches
a
knife
or
a
gun,
never
to
touch
it
but
to
find
a
trusted
adult
and
show
it
to
them.
However,
the
owners
for
keeping
children
safe
should
be
on
the
adults.
Q
Q
Q
People
are
worried
about
Children's,
Mental
Health.
One
way
to
support
mental
health
is
to
ensure
feelings
of
safety.
The
percentage
of
Anchorage
School
District
children
who
feel
safe
at
school
decreased
sharply
in
the
last
year.
Children
who
do
not
feel
safe
cannot
learn
and
Thrive
secure.
Firearm
storage
is
essential
to
keeping
children
safe,
both
physically
and
mentally.
Q
A
R
Good
evening,
Madam
president
superintendent,
Bryant
and
members
of
the
board
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
thanking
you
and
the
staff
for
your
public
service.
I
know
that
it
comes
a
lot
of
sacrifice
personally
and
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
for
the
time
that
you
spend
on
our
schools
and
on
our
community.
I
am
appearing
this
evening
as
a
resident
of
South
Edition
and
as
a
parent
of
Mr
Sosa's,
School,
Inlet,
View
Elementary
and
a
daughter
who
goes
to
Mr
gustafson's
School,
West,
High,
School
I
am
represent
representing
myself
today.
R
I
have
two
main
points
and
they're
relatively
simple.
The
first
is
the
highest
and
best
use
of
the
school
bond
debt
reimbursement
funds
is
to
make
smart
long-term
fiscal
investments
in
the
capital
needs
of
our
school
district,
which
are
many
second
consistent
with
the
six-year
Capital
Improvement
plan
and
the
district
District's
core
value
of
safety.
I
am
asking
you
to
use
approximately
30
million
dollars
of
that
school
bond
debt
reimbursement,
money
to
fund
Inlet,
View
Elementary's
replacement.
R
Now.
Why
should
you
do
this
and
there's
two
reasons?
First,
deficits
come
and
go.
I
have
lived
in
this
community
for
many
years.
My
grandma
taught
here
50
years
ago.
I
have
a
lot
of
history
in
this
community
and
I
know
that
we've
seen
pink
slips
come
we've
seen
pink
slips
go
I
am
not
undermining
the
importance
of
the
statutory
requirement
to
balance
the
budget,
but
I
do
think
that
the
shifting
sands
on
a
state,
Foundation
formula
basis
will
change
as
this
year,
especially
the
school
year
goes
on.
R
But
what
has
not
changed
and
is
not
influx
is
the
fact
that
Inlet
View
is
in
Decline.
Our
children
are
not
safe,
they
have
no
sprinkler
system,
they
have
drainage
and
sewage
on
their
playground.
The
school
does
not
meet
the
ASD
Elementary
educational
specs
for
elementary
schools
and
Inlet
View
has
topped
the
list
with
the
highest
number
of
educational
inadequacies
for
many
many
years.
R
Excuse
me
a
culture
of
high
expectations
as
the
only
International
Baccalaureate
School
in
the
school
district
and
an
extremely
high
performing
school
that
is
gaining
population.
It
does
not
make
sense
to
shut
and
live
view
down,
and
that's
the
alternative
that
we
face
if
we
fail
to
fund
it
at
this
time,
let's
fund
the
school
and
allow
this
remarkable
Community
to
not
only
survive
but
Thrive.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
You
for
the
opportunity
to
appear
and
testify.
My
name
is
Kevin
McCoy
and
I
have
lived
at
the
corner
of
11th
Avenue
and
N
Street
downtown
for
32
years
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
Inlet
View
Elementary
School
replacement
project.
You
know
these
facts.
The
school
is
57
years
old,
it's
falling
apart.
It
doesn't
even
come
close
to
meeting
the
security
needs
and
safety
needs
that
we
require
of
our
schools
now
and
it
needs
to
be
replaced.
O
I
have
reviewed
the
plans
that
are
under
consideration
to
replace
the
school
with
a
new
building
on
the
south
side
of
the
lot.
I
fully
support
these
plans.
First,
the
plans
focus
on
the
children
by
putting
their
needs
first.
Second,
the
project
will
improve
my
neighborhood.
It
will
increase
the
value
of
homes
in
my
neighborhood
it'll,
make
it
a
more
attractive
place
and
and
a
better
place
to
live.
It
will
reduce
traffic
congestion
around
the
school.
It
is
unbelievable
how
the
traffic
goes
around
the
school
where
children
are
walking.
O
The
new
plan
will
eliminate
that
problem
and
make
it
a
safer
place
to
go.
Finally,
it'll
solve
the
long-term
water
problems
that
are
that
are
playing
the
south
side
of
the
lot.
That's
an
ongoing
problem.
Some
of
the
people
live
there,
have
their
basins
flooded
and
it's
a
problem
for
them.
This
new
project
will
eliminate
that.
O
O
It
is
strongly
supported
by
parents
and
it
is
strongly
supported
by
most
of
the
Neighbors
in
the
neighborhood.
We've
already
spent
3.3
million
dollars
in
designing
and
planning
this
project
over
the
last
two
years.
It's
time
to
move
forward
with
the
construction
now
for
these
Reasons
I'm,
going
to
ask
you
to
use
the
Appropriations
that
are
available
to
you
to
start
this
project
immediately.
O
I
recognize
I
sat
here
through
the
the
work
session
and
I
recognize
that
you
face
funding
problems.
This
is
the
way
our
fiscal
problems,
and
this
is
the
way
I
look
at
it.
I'm
72
years
old
I
was
in
elementary
school
a
long
time
ago.
At
that
time
there
was
a
school
board
and
there
were
parents,
and
there
were
challenges
faced
I'm
sure
they
had
fiscal
challenges
and
they
met
those
challenges
and
I
believe
we
can
as
well
so
I.
A
S
Thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
Mary
yetis
I
would
like
to
begin
by
just
expressing
my
appreciation
to
all
of
you.
You've
undertaken
such
a
great
responsibility
to
care
for
all
of
our
children
to
provide
for
their
future
I'm
humbled
by
your
service.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
your
energies
dealing
with
these
complex
problems,
I'm
going
to
use
my
time
to
just
make
two
brief
requests.
S
Speaking
as
a
taxpayer,
we
need
good
schools
to
attract
and
keep
businesses
and
to
grow
a
better
economy,
a
tax
holiday.
It
just
won't
get
us
where
we
need
to
be
as
a
community
and
that's
coming
from
a
person.
Who's
been
paying
Anchorage
taxes,
property
taxes
for
30
years.
At
this
point,
my
second
request
is:
do
recognize
and
embrace
and
fund.
They
need
the
great
need
for
an
Inlet
View
replacement.
Building
I
live
about
a
half
a
block
for
maybe
a
house
away
from
the
school.
S
You
could
say
that
I'm
disinterested
because
I
don't
have
children
in
school,
but
it
is
very
much
our
neighborhood's
lifeblood,
it's
a
magnet
for
young
families
and
it's
a
critical
piece
really,
if
you
think
about
it,
this
way
for
downtown
vitality
and
stability
in
the
long
run.
It's
just
crucial.
So
thank
you
for
listening.
Thank
you
for
your
support
and
I
look
forward
to
your
support
of
the
Inlet
View
replacement
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
Miss
Gettys
next
in
person,
Seth
Anderson
welcome,
Seth.
E
Oh
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
this
evening.
I'm
Seth
Anderson
I
have
children
at
Inlet,
View,
Elementary
School,
and
we
live
one
block
away
from
the
school
professionally
I'm
a
structural
engineer
and
real
estate
developer
I'm
here,
because
it's
important
to
my
family
and
neighbors
that
safety
and
operational
failures
in
the
viewer
addressed
the
age
school
has
many
unsafe
conditions
and
inadequate
Building
Systems
are
a
distraction
to
learning
teaching
and
retaining
neighborhood
students.
E
I
understand
that
the
state
legislator
provided
money
to
the
Anchorage
School
District,
essentially
backfilling.
This
year's
school
bond,
including
and
specifically
for
replacement
in
of
Inlet
View
I
support
using
the
state
funding
as
intended
when
allocated
by
the
legislature.
Western
demographics
as
consultants
to
ASD
has
determined
that
Inlet
View
is
the
most
utilized
School
in
the
district.
It's
also
the
third
lowest
facility
rating
low
being
in
the
poorest
condition.
E
The
Consultants
advised
that
the
neighborhoods
are
out
in
that
view
are
also
the
most
likely
to
see
growth.
In
addition,
additional
student
population
in
the
future,
the
summary
of
their
recommendations,
puts
replacement
of
Inlet
View
as
the
top
priority
for
Capital
Improvements
I
have
a
couple
of
concerns.
If
funding
for
the
school
is
not
used
now,
one
is
that
if
the
school
is
not
replaced,
I
don't
see
a
plan
or
discussion
for
Capital
Improvements
and
Inlet
View
to
address
Life
Safety
deficiency
to
the
building
or
the
school
grounds.
E
Replacement
of
his
view
has
been
on
the
capital
Improvement
plan
for
over
a
decade,
and
there
are
no
projects
identified
to
make
the
school
safe,
address,
HVAC
issues
and
extend
the
school's
useful
life
and
second,
if
the
state
allocated
funding
is
not
used
to
replace.
In
the
view
now,
we
will
be
essentially
wasting
over
three
million
dollars
of
public
money
already
spent
in
planning
and
design
of
the
school
replacement.
E
If
the
project
is
delayed,
planning
and
design
fees
will
be
duplicated.
Construction
will
only
be
more
expensive
each
year.
It's
delayed
and
there's
no
guarantee
money
will
be
available
in
the
future.
When
we
need
to
replace
the
school,
we
have
the
money
available
right
now.
The
school's
design
permitting
is
underway
and
the
school
is
ready
for
construction.
E
By
keeping
the
existing
School
operational
during
construction
of
a
new
school,
the
Administration
has
developed
a
plan
to
keep
these
students
together
as
a
cohort
and
the
IB
Program
intact
during
construction
of
a
new
school
I
understand
that
ASE
as
many
conflicting
Capital
needs.
However,
Inlet
View
has
been
on
the
top
of
the
capital
Improvement
plans
for
too
long
to
ignore
the
money
has
been
provided
by
the
state
and
now
is
the
time
to
do
this
project.
Thank
you.
E
Few
people
that
came
in
after
the
list
to
speak
was
pulled.
So
if
there's
an
opportunity
at
the
Ender
time
left
and
you're
willing,
there
might
be
some
additional
people
who
want
to
speak.
A
Oh,
thank
you
very
much,
sir.
Next
we
have
Ava
Gardner,
Eva,
sorry
Eva.
U
You
I'm
Eva
Gardner
I'm,
a
Community
member
I
actually
have
a
kindergartner
who
just
started
at
Denali
Montessori
but
I'm,
calling
in
tonight
to
testify
about
Inlet,
View
I
understand
the
legislature
gave
ASD
up
to
100
million
dollars
in
school
debt,
reimbursement
and
half
of
that
was
intended
for
the
inlety
rebuild.
Please
use
that
money
to
build
a
new
school.
U
You
might
be
wondering
why
I
care
since
we're
not
you've
been
an
inlet
new
family
and
the
reason
is
because
we
would
have
been
an
inlet
you
gambling
back
in
2020,
when
we
were
looking
ahead
to
being
ASD
parents.
We
decided
to
move
into
our
current
neighborhood,
primarily
so
that
we
could
be
in
the
Inlet
View
school
zone.
We
had
two
little
kids
with
a
third
in
the
works
and
we
were
excited
to
send
them
all
to
that
school.
We've
heard
great
things
about
the
community
staff
and
teachers.
U
We
knew
the
building
had
some
problems,
but
we
didn't
think
they
could
really
be
that
bad
earlier
this
year
in
2022,
it
was
finally
time
to
register
our
oldest
kid
for
kindergarten.
We
arranged
the
tour
of
Inlet
View
thinking.
It
would
just
be
a
check
mark.
You
know
one
more
step
of
due
diligence
before
we
send
our
kids,
something
to
make
us
feel
good
about
our
decision
to
move
into
that
neighborhood
for
that
school.
U
But,
to
our
surprise
it
wasn't
a
check
mark.
It
was
a
deal
breaker.
The
building
is
dingy.
The
classrooms
are
dim
and
overcrowded
in
our
short
visit.
We
could
see
that
the
classrooms
were
way
over
capacity.
We
heard
stories
of
sewage
leaking
onto
the
playground.
We
had
very
real
questions
about
the
building's
safety.
You
just
didn't
feel
like
a
place.
We
wanted
to
send
our
son,
especially
for
his
first
introduction
to
learning.
U
We
felt
terrible
having
that
reaction
to
Inlet
View,
because
it
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
teachers
and
staff
and
there's
the
heart
of
the
school
we're
not
snobs.
We
don't
think
our
kids
need
fancy
new
buildings
in
order
to
succeed
at
school,
but
when
we
visited
Denali
Montessori
and
our
son
got
a
spot
there
in
the
spring
Lottery
it
made
the
decision
really
easy.
U
U
The
students
of
Inlet
View
deserve
better
than
what
they
have
now.
You
already
have
the
planning
and
design
for
a
new
building.
You
spent
three
million
dollars
getting
ready
to
break
ground.
Now
you
have
some
money
from
the
legislature
to
make
it
happen.
Please
use
that
money
to
replace
in
with
you.
Thank
you.
A
Welcome
Hannah,
you
have
three
minutes.
V
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
having
me
and
thank
you
for
your
service
on
the
school
board.
I
know
that
that's
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
I'm
very
grateful.
My
name
is
Hannah
Brewster
I
have
a
brand
new
kindergartner
at
in
The
View
Elementary
and
a
three-year-old
who
will
start
there
in
two
more
years
in
the
views.
V
Our
neighborhood
school
and
we've
lived
in
the
area
for
10
years
I'm
here
tonight
to
ask
for
your
support
of
The
Unlucky
Community
by
allocating
school
bond
reimbursement
funds
to
the
replacement
of
the
school
Inlet
View
is
one
of
the
oldest
schools
in
the
district
and
has
taught
the
district's
maintenance
priority
list
for
over
a
decade.
It's
desperately
in
need
of
security
upgrades
and
is
currently
educating
60
more
students
than
it
was
designed.
For
every
time
we
read
about
the
unfathomable,
unfathomable
tragedies
in
schools
elsewhere
in
the
country.
V
Well,
I'm
still
catching
up
on
the
details
of
this
project.
It's
clear
to
me
that
this
project
has
been
ready
to
proceed
for
several
years.
The
funding's
now
available
and
it's
time
to
make
it
happen.
V
W
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you,
Dr
Brian
and
all
of
the
school
board
members.
My
name
is
Moira
Sullivan
Gallagher
I
live
on
M
Street,
just
south
of
Inlet
View
and
I
am
here
to
speak
on
that
issue.
I
have
two
very
small
kids.
They
don't
go
to
Inland
view
yet,
but
I
hope
they
will.
They
are
four
and
one
I
was
the
South
Edition
community
council
president
for
four
years
from
2017,
until
2021.
W
I
grew
up
in
South
Edition
I
went
to
Inlet
View,
my
parents
grew
up
in
South
Edition
and
they
are
in
their
70s
and
they
went
to
Inlet
View
in
the
same
building.
That
is
there
now
in
case,
you
were
wondering
about
any
of
my
Bona
fides
within
the
neighborhood.
I
am
very
familiar
with
the
issues
at
play
here.
W
I
am
very
familiar
with
the
issues
within
the
neighborhood
and
I
was
also
asked
to
serve
on
the
building
design
committee
late
in
the
process
in
order
to
represent
the
neighbors,
particularly
those
on
M
Street,
just
south
of
the
school
who
had
major
concerns
about
the
design
that
was
originally
presented.
Last
fall.
I
am
here
to
tell
you
that
I
also
had
concerns
about
that
design
when
it
was
presented.
I
didn't
love
a
two-story
school
I
didn't
love.
W
Some
of
the
traffic
patterns
that
were
planned,
but
I
had
an
opportunity
to
express
those
concerns
within
the
BDC,
as
did
many
of
my
neighbors,
and
many
of
those
concerns
were
addressed
in
the
new
design
that
came
out.
W
Not
all
of
them,
I,
don't
think
it's
a
perfect
design,
and
not
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
thinks
that
it's
a
perfect
design,
but
I
do
believe
that
we
shouldn't
let
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
the
good
here
and
we've
put
a
lot
of
work
a
lot
of
time
and,
of
course,
a
lot
of
money
into
the
design
that
has
come
out.
I've
been
involved
in
dozens
of
public
processes
over
the
years
from
the
south
Edition
neighborhood
plan
to
the
design
committee
for
frontierland
Park
no
public
process
is
perfect.
W
You
can
never
include
all
people,
no
matter
how
hard
you
try
and
even
if
you
did,
you
cannot
create
a
design
that
would
make
everybody
happy.
There
will
always
be
people
in
a
community
who
felt
that
they
weren't
heard
no
matter
how
hard
you
try
to
make
a
process,
inclusive
and
I.
Think
that
that's
what
happened
here?
It
wasn't
inclusive
process,
but
nobody
is,
nobody
is
going
to
feel
100
heard.
W
There
will
always
be
people
who,
in
a
community
who
do
not
like
the
outcome,
I
strongly
urge
you
to
not
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
on
the
Inlet
View
design.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
to
carry
the
ball
forward
on
a
design
that
is
actually
excellent.
It
is
strongly
supported
in
the
neighborhood
and
any
new
design
is
going
to
have
its
detractors
as
well.
Redesigning
the
new
school
would
be
a
tragic
waste
of
time.
Safety
and
lives
truly
are
at
risk.
Here.
W
I
also
want
to
talk
briefly
about
the
failure
of
the
bond
package
this
year.
Why
did
the
bond
fail
and
sure
we
all
have
our
theories,
and
there
are
probably
many
reasons
but
I
think
we
can
assume
that
there
was
some
sticker
shock
on
that
Bond
and
feelings
of
frugality
among
the
population
because
of
rising
and
inflation.
We
are
not
a
community
that
votes
down
bonds.
W
Historically,
we
are
a
community
that
supports
schools
and
we
are
a
community
that
saw
a
very
expensive
package
and
felt
we
didn't
have
the
money
at
that
time
in
that
very
real
sense,
I
believe,
using
this
funding
to
backfill
the
bond
does
represent
voter
intent
in
Anchorage.
We
are
a
community
that
supports
schools
and
so
do
the
people
represented
here
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
okay,
and
that
brings
us
to
item
e
on
our
agenda.
That's
our
consent
agenda.
A
Oh,
everyone
is
here
today,
so
we
don't,
we
can
do
an
online
vote.
Thank
you
hold
on
a
minute.
So
right
now
we
are
at
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
The
motion
is
to
approve
your
consent
agenda
as
it
is,
or,
as
we
amended
it
actually.
So
now
we
are,
is,
is
there
a
second.
A
Is
there
a
second
to
approve
okay,
Miss
member
Higgins?
Thank
you.
So
it's
been
motioned
in
second
to
approve
the
agenda.
Any
please
vote,
because
we
have
the
we're
able
to
vote.
Okay.
A
Did
you
just
give
us
the
up
or
down.
A
That
passes
that
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
passes
seven
years:
zero.
Nays.
Thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
our
action
item.
We
have
one
item
which
is
ASD
memorandum,
number
0,
2
3.,
and
that
was
pulled
by
member
Donnelly.
F
E
Authorizes
the
expenditure
of
four
million
781
674
dollars
for
a
very
vague
purposes
that
are
lacking
in
specificity,
in
my
opinion,
we're
looking
at
a
60
million
dollar
poll
in
our
budget
coming
in
the
next
year.
At
the
work
session
today,
we
heard
possibilities
for
closing
less
than
one
quarter
of
that
budget,
Gap
with
the
elimination
of
sixth
grade
band
and
Orchestra
the
elimination
of
the
ignite
program,
possibly
cutting
immersion
schools,
and
these
are
all
very,
very
painful
cuts.
E
Just
the
ignite
program
and
abandoned
Orchestra
is
about
the
cost
of
what
this
reports
to
spend
this
year
instead
of
saving
it
for
next
year.
I
would
really
appreciate
a
lot
more
detail
and
want
more
specificity
about
what
the
critical
staff
required
to
support
the
district's
operations
will
be
or
are
before.
E
I
would
approve
four
over
four
million
dollars
additional
to
be
expended
this
year,
and
why
do
we
need
to
give
flexibility
for
entire
remaining
money
of
some
discretionary
funds
we
have
left
over
from
covet
impact
rather
than
using
it
to
soften
the
crisis
we're
facing
for
next
year?
E
Additionally,
there's
no
numbers
presented
here
about
enrollment
exceeding
projections,
although
I
believe
that's
true,
but
I
would
like
to
see
some
numbers
to
show.
The
dollar
amount
cost
of
that
vis-a-vis,
the
entire
four
million
seven
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
dollar
amount.
This
resolution
authorizes
the
other
justification
for
this
four
million.
Seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
investment
towards
high
impact
one-time
requirements
related
to
infrastructure
audits,
analysis
on
systems
that
have
been
disrupted
during
the
pandemic.
E
That's
incredibly
vague,
Madam,
president
I.
Just
think
this
board
should
have
a
lot
more
information
before
we
authorize
400
or
almost
5
million
dollars,
and
I
would
really
rather
see
us
authorize
like
a
chunk
of
money
if
these
are
really
Essentials
and
priorities
for
the
administration
to
authorize
this
in
in
bits
and
pieces
to
do
everything
we
can
to
maximize
the
carryover
to
soften
the
load
of
our
huge
fiscal
Gap
we're
facing
next
year.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you,
member
Donnelly.
As
I
recall,
we
pulled
this
at
our
last
meeting.
Did
we
pulled
this
one
at
our
last
meeting?
Okay
anyway,
I
will
defer
to
Dr
Bryant.
G
Sure
I'm
happy
to
share
a
few
remarks
so
so
to
be
clear.
This
item
is
regarding
the
repurposing
of
funds
that
were
allocated
for
a
specific
purpose
and
approved
by
the
board
last
year,
but
this
is
also
the
result
of
my
inheriting
a
decision
to
use
Esther
funds
on
recurring
costs,
so
just
to
remind
the
board
that
a
large
chunk
of
our
Esser
or
cersa
dollars
are
going
towards
things
such
as
staff.
G
But
I
also
want
to
be
clear
that
these
funds
do
have
a
spend
down
date
of
next
September.
So
we
will
need
to
allocate
These
funds
towards
something.
That's
high
impact
and
I.
Think
there
are
a
number
of
high
impact
one-time
costs
that
we
can
invest.
These
funds
are,
but
we
need
more
time
to
give
you
specific
deliverables,
but
these
were
funds
that
were
allocated
were
not
spent
or
carried
over
and
now
we're
analyzing
the
high
impact
ways
that
we
can
fund
it.
G
So
one
thing
that
we
did
want
to
know
in
this
item
is
one:
the
funds
will
be
used
to
fund
a
quite
a
few
teaching
positions
that
we
need
as
a
result
of
two
things.
One
is
the
fact
that
we
have
enrollment
that's
increased
at
the
school
level
right,
but
then
two
I
think
I
lost
my
train
of
thought
there.
G
Well,
the
main
thing
is
that
one
we
need
to
fund
additional
teachers
from
the
Esser
funds
due
to
increased
enrollment,
so
our
eyes
are
on
what
are
the
immediate,
oh
now,
I,
remember
and
the
reason
why
we
have
to
find
those
additional
teachers
is
because,
as
a
district,
we
had
made
a
decision
to
use
our
hold
back
last
semester
for
teachers
at
immersion
and
other
programs.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
had
to
consider
that
led
up
to
this
moment
where
we
have
to
figure
out.
G
How
do
we
want
to
repurpose
these
dollars
from
last
year
into
this
year?
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
that
context.
If
it's
helpful
for
how
we
got
to
this
point,
where
we
have
this
four
million
dollars,
and
the
last
thing
that
I
did
just
want
to
point
out
is,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
today
in
the
budget
Workshop.
E
Yeah
Steve,
when
we
did
the
budget,
there
was
a
point
where
there
was
five
million
of
funds,
coveted
impact
funds.
It
didn't
have
to
be
expended
in
this
fiscal
year
that
the
board
chose
to
invest
into
mental
health,
and
goodness
knows
that
our
students
need
more
Mental
Health.
E
So
I'd
really
like
to
take
some
time
here
and
explore
the
you
know,
because
money
is
typically
fungible
to
to
examine
whether
we
could
use
you
know,
switch
funds
here
to
make
sure
that
we're
utilizing
all
the
funds
that
have
to
be
expended
in
in
this
fiscal
year
and
make
sure
we
cover
what
the
board's
goals
were
last
year,
but
identify
if
any
of
the
money
that
was
that
put
into
the
budget
for
this
fiscal
year
was
was
still
was
something
that
could
be
carried
over
into
next
year
to
be
able
to
use
to
soften
the
impact.
G
And
remembered
only
if
I
recall
correctly,
I
thought
that
the
mental
health
allocation
was
Esther
dollar
Chief
Anderson.
Can
you
clarify
that.
X
So,
during
the
during
the
budget
approval
in
the
last
five
or
ten
minutes
of
amendments
before
it
got
passed,
it
was
serson
money
and
it
was
five
million
dollars
toward
mental
health.
I
repeatedly
reiterated
that
we
would
look
at
that
as
an
upper
limit
spending
Authority,
because
we
didn't
have
a
plan,
I
think
you're,
going
to
find
that
we
will
have
a
plan
ready
to
be
brief.
X
That
shows
how
those
funds
will
be
spent
towards
mental
health,
ready
for
the
20
September
board
meeting
and
you'll
find
that
the
number
is
is
significantly
less
than
5
million,
primarily
because
all
of
the
other
agencies
in
town
who
are
providing
those
services
are
all
in
competition
for
the
same
limited
resources
and
so
that
amount
of
money
won't
be
required.
So
we'll
come
back
later
and
and
ask
for
reallocation
of
that
towards
some
other
higher
priority
item.
X
But
first,
of
course
the
board
will
need
to
get
briefed
on
the
mental
health
plan
which
has
been
developing
for
the
last
six
months,
and
it's
now
firming
up
into
something
that
that's
briefable
and
executable.
When
you
look
at
the
numbers
that
we
put
somewhat
vague
things
like
the
bus
crisis
and
knowing
that
we
were
going
to
need
an
auditor
all
of
our
bus
routes
from
special
ed
through
General
Ed,
so
that
happened
very
very
quickly
without
time
to
go
through
a
normal
board
process
where
we
identify
a
problem.
X
Two
weeks
later,
we
talk
about
it
at
non-action.
Two
weeks
later
we
talk
about
it
at
action
and
then
five
weeks
from
the
time
we
see
a
problem,
we're
able
to
actually
do
something
about
it.
If
we
keep
this
a
little
bit
vague
right
now,
like
we're,
bringing
Shannon
Bingham
online
and
others
as
we
identify
problems,
this
fall.
The
administration
would
be
able
to
quickly
go
after
these
high
priority.
X
So
it
is
true
that
we
left
this
intentionally
because
there's
things
we
don't
know
about
that
are
going
to
come
across
our
desk
in
two
weeks
that
today
we
don't
know
about
what
I
will
tell
you
is
Andy
knows
how
to
say
no
better
than
anyone
I've
ever
met,
and
if
we
don't
need
this
money
and
we
can't
articulate
and
justify
it,
he
will
be
the
first
person
followed
by
me
who
says
we
can
now
reallocate
this
for
something
else.
X
X
So
we
just
don't
know
what's
going
to
get
to
us
if
we'll
know
by
December,
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
spend
this,
and
if
not
we're
going
to
come
back
to
the
board
and
say
okay,
this
is
what
we
had
the
Authority
for,
and
this
is
what
we'd
like
to
reallocate
it
toward
knowing
that
cersea
money
runs
out
on
September
30
next
year
at
some
point
between
now
and
June
30.
X
If
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
have
a
fund
balanced
rollover
of
cersa
that
we're
not
going
to
be
spending
out
at
this
year,
we
will
we
will,
you
know,
take
some
of
the
Esther
3
costs
delay
those
because
you
always
spend
the
money
that
expires
first,
and
this
memo
really
gives
us
that
flexibility
without
having
to
spend
five
weeks
every
time
we
need
to
make
a
decision,
because
when
it
comes
down
to
September
30
next
year,
we
need
that
number
to
be
zero
and
not
leave
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
hanging,
because
we
didn't
have
that
five-week
period
to
get
enough
board
meetings
to
get
all
of
those
little
minor
nuances
corrected,
and
that's
that's
really.
A
Member
Higgins
I
see
your
microphone.
Did
you
have
a
question.
I
Yes,
thank
you
I.
Just
as
I
read
it
I
remember.
When
I
first
got
in
school
board
in
2008
2009,
you
had
a
superintendent
every
time.
The
year
okay
started,
you
saw
how
many
students
are
there,
whatever
funds
they
could
do
to
keep
the
classroom
sizes
from
going
up
and
they
pulled
the
money
quickly,
because
it's
focused
on
kids
and
classroom
sizes
make
a
difference.
I'm
wondering
what
the
first
of
all
what
the
enrollment
increase
is.
How
are
we
looking
right
now.
X
Come
on
I
can
answer
that
through
the
president
to
member
Higgins,
we're
looking
at
roughly
about
a
thousand
more
kids
year
over
year.
Right
now
than
we
were
last
year,
when
we
first
started
recovering
from
the
pandemic.
What
we
saw
was
at
high
school
level.
X
It
was
much
much
closer
to
projection
than
Elementary
and
much
many
more
parents
kept
elementary
kids
at
home.
What
we're
seeing
this
year
is
that
the
elementary
numbers
are
increasing
and
we
we
don't
know
because
we've
never
recovered
from
a
pandemic.
If
it
will
stay
at
a
thousand,
did
some
people
register
earlier
than
they
would
because
they
felt
confident
that
schools
really
would
open
this
year
on
time.
X
But,
right
now
the
numbers
are
looking
pretty
strong
and
frankly
the
the
Elementary's
Resurgence.
It's
it's
not
huge,
it's
not
in
the
5
000
kids,
but
but
we
are
looking
at
large
enough
numbers
that
we
legitimately
need
to
start
looking
for
and
trying
to
hire
higher
10
to
15
teachers
in
elementary
now
five
and
secondary
with
an
additional
five
plus
by
the
end
of
the
semester,
depending
on
how
course
loads
shake
out
and
and
those
decisions
really
I
mean
we're.
X
We
need
to
start
now,
frankly,
we'll
start
tomorrow
trying
to
hire
those
teacher
vacancies
as
soon
as
it's
approved
and
again
as
we
find
out
that
they're
going
to
be
some
positions
that
we
can't
hire,
and
we
know
that
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
spend
the
money.
We
will
come
back
to
the
board
at
a
future
point
and
say
we
asked
for
four
point
x
million
dollars.
I
Yeah
it
just
a
couple
of
comments.
One
I
hope
that
when
we
look
at
additional
Staffing
I,
remember
the
studies
coming
out
with
the
National
School,
Board,
Association
and
and
what
some
districts
were
doing
and
putting
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
classroom
sizes.
Thank
you
grade
and
how
it
impact
educational
reading
scores
and
how
it
stayed
with
it.
In
fact,
they
gave
reports.
That
said
it
received
about
90
percent
of
the
efficiency
for
what
you
get
out
of
low
in
classroom
sizes
in
the
whole
group,
so
that
was
a
such
whatever.
I
It
is
I
hope
we
follow
best
practices
or
studies
to
show
where
the
best
impact
can
be
in
regards
to
the
Investments
and
I
appreciate.
Remember
Donnelly,
challenging
these
because
I
like
questioning
that
I
like
looking
at
better
ways
but
I,
do
like
the
idea
of
the
high
impact
one
time
emphasis
one-time
Investments
I
like
and
when
it
comes
to
Audits
and
of
systems
and
Analysis,
that's
close
to
my
heart.
So
that's
not
a
problem
at
all
within
that.
I
In
fact,
if
most
of
that
went
into
that,
that
would
be
okay
with
me,
because
I
really
think
we've
got
a
question.
What
we're
doing
look
at
improvements
and
go
for
it
and
putting
money
in
there
is
the
best
investment
I
think
we
can
do
so.
Focus
first
on
kids,
with
the
classrooms
we're
putting
got
to
worry
about
the
inquiry
classroom
sizes.
I
Now
it
impacts
the
the
success
of
kids
when
you've
got
an
influx
of
a
thousand
kids
and,
like
I,
said
one
time
they
you
you,
you
in
the
right
ballpark
with
me
there,
but
the
audit
analysis
I,
really
hope
we
get
into
a
discussion
on
that
real
soon,
because
that's
going
to
be
I
think
the
future.
What
we
have
to
do,
we
can't
stick
with
status
quo.
Thank.
A
J
J
I
did
email
them
to
staff
ahead
of
time,
and
that
tempered
my
reticence,
because,
because
that
the
core
of
the
response
was
this
need
to
be
nimble
but
I
I'm
support
So.
For
that
reason,
I'm
supportive
of
really
the
Vegas
memo
that
I
can
think
of
in
a
long
time
and
I
mean
but
desperate
desperate
times
in
a
sense
called
for
desperate
and
Innovative
measures
and
so
I
think
we're
board.
Members
are
correct
to
call
that
out
and
I
think
administrators
are
there's
value
in
saying
we're
just
going
to
do
what
it
takes.
J
We're
not
quite
sure
if
it's
this
amount
exactly
right
now
or
this
amount
exactly,
but
I
think
that
we
can
collaborate
here
and
move
forward,
as
member
Higgins
always
reminds
us
with
the
best
interests
of
kids
at
at
heart,
I
wanted
to
say
that
I'm,
supportive
of
things
that
might
seem
Preposterous
here
we
can
support
our
student
mental
health
by
investing
in
the
playgrounds
that
we
know
are
less
less
equipped
than
they
could
be
right,
because
we
know
that
that
play
really
activates
our
student
learning.
It
improves
our
student.
J
J
We
received
as
a
board
a
really
compelling
email
recently
from
the
best
Beginnings
organization,
which
has
an
incredibly
High
return
on
investment
for
thirty
dollars
a
year
per
child
from
birth
to
age.
Five,
they
send
out
books.
J
That
said,
that
connects
children
and
their
families
and
they
equip
kids
before
they
get
to
kindergarten
to
be
ready
for
kindergarten
and
I,
encourage
every
one
of
those
board
members
to
look
at
how
participation
in
the
best
Beginnings,
Imagination
Library
has
associations
with
higher
literacy
skills,
higher
reading
and
math
achievement
in
grade
three
have
higher
attendance
rates
in
K
through
three.
These
are
all
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
piggyback
on
for
thirty
dollars
a
year
per
child.
J
J
This
is,
this
is
bang
for
our
buck
and
so,
as
we
think
about
the
future,
as
we
think
about
our
destination
and
our
strategy,
2026
our
goals
and
guardrails
of
getting
kids
kindergarten
red
proficient
at
third
grade
reading.
It
starts
with
thinking
outside
the
box,
with
partnering
with
parents
and
putting
money
to
what's
Best
in
highest
use,
and
so
that's
a
bigger
rant
but
I
just
say:
I
want
to
I'm
excited
by
the
vagueness
of
this
proposal.
I'm
gonna
support
it
and
do
right
by
it.
J
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
maybe
for
a
question
for
administration
just
to
put
a
finer
point
on
onto
the
board
before
the
end
of
the
year
as
to
what
was
used,
how
much
was
used
and
for
what
and
what
can
be
reallocated.
Yes,.
G
That's
the
intent
and
that's
something
that
you
know
the
federal
government
is
curious
about
too.
How
is
Esther
money
being
spent
so
we'll
be
sure
to
make
sure
that
we'll
be
sure
to
ensure
that
the
board
is
briefed
on
that.
E
D
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
member
Dudley.
We
are
now
at
to
vote.
Our
discussion
is
done.
Please
vote.
A
A
And
that
that
motion
passes
six
days
one
day,
thank
you,
and
now
that
brings
us
to
non
action.
Non-Action
items.
Let's
see
who's
pulling.
What
for
non-action?
Remember
Jacobs.
D
E
So
number
20
memorandum,
20.
A
A
Yes,
item:
item:
G8
is
memorandum
24.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
I
had
a
couple
questions
that
I
think
are
tangentially
related
to
this
and
will
help
me
think
through
how
we
want
to
move
forward
in
allocating
these
dollars.
I
had
received
an
email
today,
that's
Mr,
Hallman
board
member
Holloman
had
sent
with
a
concern
at
service.
F
I've
also
had
a
concern
sent
to
me
by
a
parent
with
the
condition
of
grass
out
of
service
and
a
couple
other
facility
concerns
too,
and
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
more
information
from
the
administration,
if
possible
as
to
how
what
the
process
looks
like
for
receiving
triaging
and
completing
minor
maintenance
issues
that
don't
require
a
school
bond
necessarily,
but
they
require
a
maintenance
staff
to
take
action,
and
then
more
information
is
if
there's
a
current
backlog.
F
G
X
If
I
could
provide
an
overview
of
major
maintenance
by
Statute,
it's
it's
things
that
cost
more
than
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
there
are
currently
a
number
of
roofs
that
we're
looking
at.
We
don't
know
the
cost
to
high
school,
the
Middle
School
to
Elementary
that
will
be
emerging
projects
coming
very
quickly.
X
We
know
that,
depending
on
which
schools
close
and
how
we
repurpose
the
schools
that
we
also
know
we're
going
to
need
additional
funding
potentially
to
do
some
renovation
in
order
to
execute
that
plan,
and
that
was
the
reason
why
we
did
not
put
major
maintenance
on
purpose
in
the
board
memo
for
discussion,
yet
until
after
we
have
allowed
that
to
flush
out
a
little
bit,
knowing
that
there
wasn't
really
an
immediate
need
to
allocate
that
those
funds
without
the
proper
information
available
to
the
school
board.
X
So
we
think
very
shortly,
we'll
be
able
to
come
back
potentially
even
offer
portions
of
it
for
those
those
significant
leaks
that
we
know
we're
going
to
have
to
fix.
But
we
don't
know
the
price
yet
and,
as
we
find
out
more
about
potential
school
closures
and
repurposing,
and
on
top
of
that
then
we'll
have
the
rest
of
the
list.
X
That
would
bring
it
down
to
board
discussion
for
priorities,
but
there
that
was
the
reason
we
left
it
out
of
the
memo,
and
it
was
because
we
know
we
have
some
very
large
dollar
unknowns
that
are
kind
of
locked
in
jello
right
now,
but
not
anything
we
could.
We
could
brief
in
priority.
F
When
a
person
can
I
follow
up,
sure
I
might
have
two
follow-ups.
Thank
you.
Mr
Anderson,
for
the
information
to
clarify
I
think
we're
we're
just
referencing
the
the
9.5
million
okay
and
that's
that's
helpful.
The
the
school
bond
debt,
reimbursement
funds
or
the
other
tranches
of
the
the
money
that
was
awarded
to
us
for
in
looking
at
if
there
are
projects
that
are
outstanding
for
less
than
fifty
thousand
dollars,
I
was
trying
to
get
a
handle
on
specifically
I.
F
Think
the
email
that
member
Holloman
had
sent
earlier
today
indicated
that
the
particular
request
was
outstanding
for
quite
some
time
and
had
been
Revisited
multiple
times,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
underlying
the
background
information
for
why
I
was
curious
if
there's
a
backlog
of
some
minor
maintenance
projects,
some
more
routine
matters
that
wouldn't
require
that
major
maintenance
label.
Thank
you.
A
So
I
think
to
just
try
to
clarify
again.
Let
me
try
to
clarify
again
I
think
what
member
Jacobs
is
trying
to
discern
is
from
at
what
point
from
the
completion
of
a
repair
or
maintenance
order.
A
T
Thank
you
to
the
president.
Remember
Jacob's
short
answer
is
yes
and
no,
let
me
elaborate.
So
we
use
a
work
order
system,
a
cmms
computerized
maintenance
management
system.
It's
called
School
dude,
we're
in
the
process
of
upgrading
it
by
the
way
we
are
currently
I
pulled
some
data
just
just
kind
of
some
high
level
data
not
to
get
too
far
into
the
weeds
and
I
I
took
out
the
deferred
and
on
hold
items
things
that
don't
have
to
be
done
anytime
soon
things
we
categorize
as
wants
versus
needs.
T
Okay,
so
I
took
those
out
and
we
currently
have
2
621
work
orders
in
our
system
that
are
active.
That's
a
snapshotting
time.
As
of
today,
we
have
15
total
trades
in
our
maintenance
department
of
that
2621
work.
Orders
as
of
today,
1296
are
in
our
under
30
days
category
and
then
we
have
of
the
extreme
other
end
in
the
over
120
days
category.
We
have
309
of
those
extent.
T
To
drill
down
to
a
couple
of
examples
to
address
needs
staffing
funding,
because
Staffing
funding
and
needs
generally
go
hand
in
hand.
Our
most
critical
need
for
people
is
in
our
heat,
vent
and
air
conditioning
unit
we're
down
for
five
people
in
that
unit.
Some
of
those
positions
have
been
open
for
a
year
because
we
have
a
Delta
of
pay
of
approximately
ten
dollars
an
hour
under
the
market.
Unfortunately,
it's
it's
widening.
As
we
speak,
we
fear
we
have
one
more
resignation
coming
in
the
next
three
to
four
weeks.
T
B
T
T
T
This
is
an
example.
I
pulled
because
of
the
roofing
challenges
we're
having
right
now.
Mother
Nature
is
a
bit
Relentless.
The
last
seven
or
eight
weeks
and
Mother
Nature
has
has
found
a
way
to
show
us
every
single
weakness
in
every
roof.
Of
course,
we
have
a
lot
of
those.
Those
can
be
very
difficult
to
find.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
attention
on
that,
because
Roofing
damage
can
damage
a
lot
of
the
rest
of
the
infrastructure
to
include
that.
The
picture
that
that
you
sent
along
that
I
reviewed
today.
T
So
an
example
of
this
is
some
repairs
that
we're
completing,
as
we
speak
at
Diamond,
Elementary,
I'm,
sorry
diamond
high
school
on
the
roof
took
about
a
year
to
chase
this
leak.
These
flat
roof
systems
can
be
very,
very,
very
difficult
to
find
leaks
depending
on
the
season
and
when
it
rains
again
and
frees
up
Etc,
we
use
thermal
imaging
you
can
you
can
chase
a
leak
under
a
membrane,
sometimes
not
just
30
or
40
feet,
but
100
feet,
there's
so
many
different
causes.
T
We
did
find
the
cause
for
that
leak
and
we're
spending
285
000
in
major
maintenance
money.
Right
now.
Please
note
members
of
the
board-
that's
our
entire
Roofing
major
maintenance
budget
for
the
year
to
put
to
put
this
in
perspective.
So
these
are
some
snapshots,
remember
Jacobs
and
board
of
the
way
we
use
data
in
our
computerized
management
system
of
work
orders
and
that
we
do
track
agings
and
we
track
it
by
priority
and
we
track
it
by
Craft,
I
hope
that
has
answered
your
question.
A
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mr
Holland
I
appreciate
the
detailed
response.
I
guess
it
would
just
be
a
point,
maybe
not
a
question
ahead
of
our
finance
committee
meeting
on
the
14th.
It
would
be
helpful
to
have
a
proposal
from
Administration
as
to
how
one-time
funds
could
be
used
to
cut
down
on
that
2600
item
backlog.
If
that's
something
that
the
administration
seems
that
would
deem
appropriate.
What
what
an
amendment
to
a
memorandum
to
appropriate
this
money
might
look
like.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
member
Jacobs,
remember
hellermann,.
Y
Yeah,
so
the
follow-up,
it
sounds
like
a
neat
system
I'm
wondering
if
there
is
a
possibility
to
Mr
Holland
for
Holland
through
the
chair
for
staff
to
be
able
to
access
that
information.
In
a
view,
priority
I
say
this
to
someone
that
was
in
the
classroom.
That
was
a
building
Tech.
So
I
was
aware
of
a
lot
of
things
in
our
building
and
a
lot
of
times
just
trying
to
find
out
if
something
is
still
in
the
hopper.
Y
T
Yes
to
the
president
member
Holloman
yeah,
we
do
pay
by
the
number
of
licenses
to
look
at
that.
Currently,
principals
can
look
and
see
that
data
of
note
we've
been
reviewing
with
the
help
of
our
it
teams.
T
A
new
software
platform,
that's
quite
a
bit
more
robust,
more
timely
and
more
accurate
than
than
the
current
model,
so
we're
always
ever
evolving
trying
to
become
the
best
version
of
that,
that's
being
vetted
as
we
speak
that
particular
work
order
system.
Just
so
you
know
allows
us
to
put
multiple
crafts
on
a
single
work
order
and
and
I
thought
I
would
use
this
as
a
quick
example.
So
you
understand
why
we
would
be
looking
at
something
better
than
what
we
have.
T
So
you
can,
you
can
kind
of
do
the
math
here
and
see
that
that
can
be
very
cumbersome,
so
the
new
system
we're
going
to
look
at
we've
already
purchased
with
existing
budget
money
that
we
have
we've
already
purchased
new
iPads
for
all
of
our
crafts
they'll,
be
able
to
look
at
all
of
these
and
do
assign
multiple
crafts
to
a
single
work
order
in
the
field
and
close
work
orders
in
the
field,
something
we
can't
do
now
so
yeah.
It's
very
robust
principals
can
log
in
and
see
where
their
work
order
in
queue.
A
T
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
we
are
waiting
on
a
report
which,
which
is
due
in
October,
roughly
mid-october.
That
report
as
part
of
this
whole
process
is
going
to
give
us
a
15
design
perspective
on
Ursa
Major.
What
that
report
will
say
is
here's
the
repairs
that
are
necessary
on
a
broad
view,
the
view
from
30
000
feet
and
here's
about
what
that
will
cost
the
task
when
we
receive
that
data
will
be
to
decide
whether
we
repair
or
replace
the
school,
as
we
would
in
any
consideration
like
that.
T
Let's
say
the
repair
bill
is
20
million
dollars.
You
know
at
that
point,
for
instance,
you'd
be
starting
to
talk
about
replacing
a
school.
We
don't
know
the
number
yet
I
just
pulled
that
number
out
of
the
air,
but
it's
going
to
be
substantial
because
it
involves.
We
do
know
that
that
involves
the
replacement
of
all
of
the
shear
walls
in
the
main,
the
main
rib,
the
central
quarter
of
that
building,
which
was
constructed
in
1952.
D
E
Memorandum,
24
is
really
open,
I
mean
there's.
Options
presented
here
that
aren't
really
identified,
I
mean
as
well
how
it's
going
to
proceed,
I
think,
but
I
would
really
like
to
see
on
a
process
with
this
much
money
involved
is
to
have
the
next
meeting.
Have
amendments
be
proposed,
I
mean
to
be
written.
Amendments
proposed
that
is
so
the
public
would
get
notice
of
what
what
was
going
to
come
up
and
be
discussed
and
then
to
have
those
out
there
until
the
following
meeting,
so
the
public
could
say:
okay.
E
D
A
I
Well,
but
I
hope
we're
not
recording
this,
because
I
agree
somewhat
with
what
member
Donnelly
said
so
I
just
cut
cut
the
recording
offices.
Thank
you,
that'll
make
me
happy
when
the
past,
when
we've
had
budget
changes,
we've
had
more
detail
and
what
we
did
with
that
information
was
at
least
when
I
was
on
the
school
board.
The
first
time.
When
we're
allocating
funds,
we
actually
reduce
spending
and
administration
nine
years
in
a
row,
and
it's
going
in
the
opposite
direction.
In
the
past.
I
From
what
you've,
seen
and
I
think,
one
of
those
factors
has
been
that
we've
gotten
more
details
and
we
ask
more
questions
and
it
resulted
in
a
better
budget,
better
budget
for
the
administration,
better
budget
from
the
school
district,
but,
most
importantly
better
for
kids
and
so
I
do
think
we
need
to
move
away
from.
We've
got
five
million
dollars.
Let
us
put
it
where
you
want
and
not
get
into
some
of
the
weeds
that
really
are
relevant
from
a
void
perspective
in
the
direction
that
the
administration
is
headed
and
what
we
can
accomplish.
I
I
think
it
it
put
the
administration
on.
You
know
an
issue
of
questioning
and
challenging
it
more
than
what
it
was,
but
when,
at
the
end,
the
first
the
first
board
meeting
I
remember
here
they
had
funds
lafilm
fed
and
they
put
in
so
many
millions
of
dollars
to
continue
status
quoes,
but
with
the
budget
proposal
was,
and
that
was
very
upsetting
to
me
because
it
won.
It
was
just
status
quo
and
we
just
so.
We
can
continue
what
we've
got
when
we've
got
to
be
looking
at
opportunities
for
improvement.
I
We've
got
to
be
looking
and
challenging
what
we've
been
doing,
because
we
don't
get
in
the
results
that
we
want.
So
I
really
do
agree
with
what
I
in
the
direction
that
that
that's
being
challenged
by
representative
Donnelly,
and
that
is
we're
given
just
a
trust
us
on
the
budget.
Trust
us
on
this.
I
I
think
it's
important
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
trying
to
I,
don't
expect
to
be
able
to
put
a
body
and
Whiplash
by
tuning
and
changing
it
dramatically
or
within
a
board
meeting,
but
I
do
think
that's
the
direction
we
need
to
be
in
other
than
you
know
in
the
past.
Here's
the
budget
take
a
look.
We
need
to
have
discussions
about
what's
in
the
budget,
where
the
money's
going,
what
changes
are
going
up
and
down
in
some
comparisons
and
I
really
want
to
be
that
engaged.
I
I
I
know
it's
time
consuming
on
the
part
of
the
school
board,
but
I
think
it
will
be
very
educational
to
look
at
what
additional
monies
are
being
spent
in
in
ways
that
are
more
beneficial
for
kids.
That's
what
we're
all
about
and
looking
for
opportunities
to
do
that,
because
I
know,
we've
asked
the
superintendents
to
walk
into
a
firestorm
and
I
know
he's
got
to
put
the
fire
out
and
I
think
the
Board
needs
to
be
engaged
of,
saying
we're
behind
this
we're
engaged
in
it.
I
It's
not
just
a
superintendent,
it's
the
board
too,
and
if
we
just
say
you
tell
us
what
you
want,
then
it's
the
superintendent
only
and
we'll
be
responsible.
We
are
accountable
for
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
make
some
tough
choices,
we're
going
to
make
some
budget
changes,
let's
be
engaged
with
it
and
let's
be
owners
for
that
decision,
because
the
superintendent
reports
to
the
board
and
we
need
to
be
there
for
the
superintendent,
most
importantly
for
the
kids.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You,
member
Higgins
I,
do
know
that
the
next
finance
committee
meeting
and
I'm
going
to
let
member
lessons
speak
to
that
and
maybe
Jim.
But
that
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
begin
to
come
up
with
the
some
some
it's
an
hour
and
a
half
this
time.
I
think
right:
okay,
I'll!
Let
you
go
Cal
and
then
baby
Jim
go
big
or
go
home.
J
So
yeah
next
finance
committee
meeting,
be
there
I
appreciate
member
Donnelly's
interest
in
having
a
discussion
about
memo
24
and
we're
discussing
it
right
now.
I
wanted
to
share
that
member
Jacobs
and
I
have
begun
some
discussions
on
on
what
I
think
was
really
wonderful.
J
Setup
I
appreciate
that
the
administration
created
option
one
option
two
and
option
three,
and
that
is
an
invitation
for
discussion
collaboration
public
input
in
how
we're
going
to
capitalize
on
a
unique
opportunity
to
to
build
safe,
healthy
resilient
schools
that
will
serve
our
community's
needs.
Our
kids
needs
now
with
leaky,
roofs
and
and
potentially
decades
into
the
future.
So
I
think
we
all
understand
the
gravity
of
our
situation,
but
I
did
want
to
share
it
with
respect
to
the
upcoming
Finance
meeting
that
I
hope
to
present
an
option.
J
Three,
a
substitute
four
memorandum,
24
and
I-
think
that's
an
excellent
time
for
amendments
discussion,
conversation
that
we
could
then
bring
to
the
next
board
meeting.
A
Jim
I
did
ask
you
to
comment.
I'm
sorry,
Dr
Brian
is
that
okay.
X
Yes,
ma'am,
so
it
doesn't
show
real
easy
when
you
just
look
at
the
board
memo.
But
if
you
look
at
the
two
attachments,
you'll
see
attachment
a
is
eight
page
in
depth
on
the
projects
that
are
shovel
ready
for
fy23,
the
reason
that
we
broke
it
out
into
FY,
23
and
24.
The
second
attachment
seven
pages
long,
so
I
I
get
that
the
actual
memo
is
only
a
page
and
a
half.
X
But
it's
a
about
17,
Pages,
total
and
I
think
that
we
did
try
to
break
out
and
describe
what
each
of
the
projects
were.
X
Having
said
that,
we
also
knew
that
there
was
interest
in
things
that
were
not
in
the
approved
the
last
approved
CIP.
So
if
you
look
at
the
list
for
23
and
24,
with
the
exception
of
the
security
cameras,
all
of
those
have
been
and
are
on.
The
boards
currently
approved
CIP
list,
and
it
goes
out
to
about
100
million
dollars.
But
we've
all
heard
public
testimony
about
other
options
that
may
preempt
the
the
districts
build
in
the
last
CIP.
X
So
we
did
leave
it
open,
knowing
that
it
likely
would
be
amended,
but
I
I.
Think
our
our
attempt
to
try
to
put
the
detail
was
in
the
attachments
and
not
the
main
memo
only
because
we
weren't
sure
just
how
many
amendments
and
now
I
I,
now
there's
a
complete
substitute
that
looks
remarkably
different,
that
that
will
probably
be
popping
up
in
the
next
week
or
so
so
you
know
I
I,
I,
think
on
the
FY
23
shovel
ready
projects.
X
This
is
probably
a
good
time
to
describe
why
we
brought
this
memo
forward
before
we
brought
the
memo
forward.
I
think
I
I
talked
to
the
board
about
how
decisions
on
all
of
this
didn't
need
to
be
made
immediately.
Those
decisions
that
needed
to
be
made
was
on
the
FY
23
shovel
ready
projects.
X
If
we
get
a
decision
on
what
we're
going
to
do
next
summer,
FY
23
and
that's
as
far
as
the
board
gets,
then
we
can
have
rfps
on
the
street
in
October
and
we
can.
We
can
start
doing
contracts
this
winter
and
have
it
ready
to
be
a
shovel
ready
if
we
delay
the
FY
23
for
another
month
to
six
weeks,
we
lose
that
that
valuable
season,
where
all
the
contractors
are
trying
to
lay
on
their
summer
work
and
that's
that
was
the
timing
of
it.
The
intent
was
not
at
least
on.
X
My
part
in
Rob's
part,
was
to
get
a
formal
commitment
on
all
of
it,
but
we
did
know
those
shovel
ready
projects
once
the
contractors
have
locked
them
in
we're
going
to
see
what
we
saw
with
aquarium
last
year,
which
was
the
workforce.
Wasn't
there
because
contractors
had
locked
in
their
their
projects,
the
costs
escalated
significantly
and
we
wanted
to
avoid
that
for
the
use
of
these
funds
for
next
summer
projects.
So
I
just
would
recommend
that
if
the
board
wants
significant
changes,
we
have
no
four
votes
and
we're
good.
X
We
have
no
emotion
to
it,
but
on
those
FY
23
the
timing
to
get
shovel
ready
projects
into
RFP
in
the
beginning
of
October
to
reach
that
sweet
spot
for
getting
those
contracts
for
this
summer.
That's
of
more
importance
to
us
than
than
whether
all
90
million
has
been
decided.
E
President
with
the
finance
committee,
anticipating
bringing
forward
a
substituted
proposal,
I
moved
to
to
table
the
final
consideration
of
memorandum
23
to
the
first
meeting
in
October.
E
With
the
understanding
that
at
our
September
20th
meeting,
the
finance
committee
would
present
their
proposal
to
the
board
and
then
it
would
be
public
for
the
public
to
know
what
you
know.
What
the
what
their
recommendation
is
and
give
them
a
chance
to
digest
that
before
our
next
meeting
in
the
final
decision
has
been.
J
A
October
4th
is
that
timely,
okay,
now
point
of
information,
so
the
motion
we're
still
waiting
for
a
second
on
the
motion.
Second
moved
and
second
that
we
is
it
continue
or
table
continue.
E
I
guess
it
would
continue
on
the
non-action
calendar
for
one
meeting
and
then
be
on
the
action
calendar
for
the
October
meeting.
Okay,
all.
A
Is
there
any
opposition
to
the
Mr
Donnelly's
motion
to
continue
this
until
the
April
4th
I
mean
not
April,
sorry,
October,
duh
October
4th
all
right
scene
done.
We
can
put
it
in
the
minutes
that
we
will
that
that's
what
we'll
do
we
don't
need
to
do
a
formal
vote?
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Let's
move
on
now
to
memorandum
number
18
operating
budget
transfers.
Remember
Donley,
you
pulled
it.
E
I
just
noted
that
in
some
of
the
the
fund
transfers
they
were,
there
seemed
to
be
a
running
theme
of
our
vacancies
for
special
service
teachers
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there
was
any
I
do
we
have
a
sense
where
we're
at
right
now?
What
the
magnitude
of
that
big
those
vacancies
is
how
many.
G
I,
don't
have
the
vacancy
number
off
the
top
of
my
hand
for
special
education.
We
do
have
about
120
teacher
vacancies
district-wide
and
a
huge
number.
A
huge
percentage
would
be
special
education.
So
that's
why
we're
excited
to
announce
that
we're
making
a
slight
adjustment
to
certain
special
education
teachers
to
receive
a
certain
percentage,
greater
compensation
to
help
us
recruit
and
retain,
and
there's
always
more
that
we
can
do
to
bring
in
more
special
education
teachers.
It's
very
important.
A
E
D
E
Know
more
supervisory
and
more
senior
responsibilities,
so
I
understand
I,
think
it's
an
administrative
decision,
whether
or
not
to
do
that,
but
I'm.
Just
saying
that
to
me
it
would
make
it
a
more
helpful,
a
more
useful
organizational
charge
if
there
were
pay
ranges
listed.
Thank
you,
but
I
understand
it's
sitting,
it's
an
executive
decision
and
it's
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
administration.
Thank.
A
A
Do
we
have
any
I
do
see
our
Mr
Gustafson
in
the
audience?
Did
you
want
to
speak
before
we
leave
from
the
non-action
items,
sir.
A
We'll
give
you
three
minutes
actually
or
less.
Z
Members
of
the
board,
through
the
chair,
I'm
just
here
I,
was
here
this
evening
to
just
ask
support
in
renaming
our
stadium
in
the
back
of
West
High
School
West,
the
West
High
School,
the
West
High
Alumni
Stadium.
Our
alumni
is
a
huge
program
and
our
schools
been
there
through
the
90s,
since
the
90s
and
they've
put
almost
at
least
two
million
dollars
back
into
our
school,
and
we
think
that
recognizing
all
of
our
alumni
with
that
designation
would
be
appropriate.
Z
So
I
was
just
here
this
evening
to
knowing
that
was
on
the
non-action
items
just
to
come
and
really
ask
for
support
for
that
right.
A
G
You
good
evening
board
and
Anchorage
Community
I'm
excited
to
share
my
first
superintendent
update
since
the
first
day
of
school
and
what
a
day
it
was
I
greatly
enjoyed
the
opportunity
to
spend
the
entire
day
visiting
campuses
across
the
district
and
to
see
classrooms
in
action,
talk
to
students
and
to
get
to
know
members
of
Team,
ASD,
so
I'm
sure
I'm,
not
the
only
one
who
was
both
excited
for
students
to
return
to
school,
but
also
a
little
bit
anxious
about
how
it
would
go.
G
Thinking
about
how
that
must
feel
for
Ursa
Major
teachers
wondering
how
students
would
adjust
to
their
new
school,
and
you
know,
I
thought
about
what
it
would
be
like
for
us
to
Major
parents
who,
whose
heads
were
spinning
as
they're,
facing
a
transition
from
a
walking
School
situation
to
depending
on
bus
transportation
for
the
first
time
and
that
way
very
heavily
on
my
heart.
So
I
spent
the
first
morning
of
my
first
day
of
school
touring.
All
of
our
jader
campuses
and
I
was
really
surprised.
G
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
change
was
incredibly
challenging
and
emotional
for
all
involved,
but
I
was
blown
away
by
the
positivity
I
I
saw
classrooms
that
were
full
and
with
laughing
students.
I
saw
teachers
that
were
fully
settled
into
their
classrooms,
and
I
saw
strong
routines
and
procedures
in
place
for
parent
pickup
and
drop-off,
and
engagement
on
the
first
day
of
school.
G
So
across
the
board,
our
principals
embraced
Earth
Ursa
Major
students
as
their
own
created
systems
to
fully
integrate
them
into
school
and
to
acquaint
them
with
their
classmates,
both
old
and
new,
as
well
as
their
teachers.
We
have
incredible
leaders,
teachers
and
students
at
Jay
bear
and
I
enjoyed
spending
the
day
with
them.
G
I
was
also
curious
about
enrollment
and
attendance
and
I'm
sure
there
are
members
of
the
board
who
are
curious
about
that
too,
and
that
was
another
positive
surprise.
Both
attendance
and
enrollment
outpaced
historical
trends
for
the
first
week
of
school
to
despite
the
busting
challenges,
our
community
came
together
and
granted
us
their
patience
and
trust
and
got
their
students
to
School
attendance
continues
to
be
over.
90
percent
and
enrollment
has
slightly
exceeded
projections
and
many
more
students
enrolled
in
school
earlier.
G
Our
families
and
students
are
ready
and
excited
to
be
back
and
it
was
humbling
to
welcome
them.
So
a
few
updates
that
I
want
to
share
first
on
Transportation,
so
I
do
want
to
take
this
time
to
recognize
the
673rd
Logistics
Readiness
Squadron
and
before
active
duty
Airmen,
who
will
take
over
Jaybird
busing
routes
for
the
next
90
days.
They
will
start
on
Monday
with
the
start
of
our
transition
to
cohort
2.
G
We
value
this
partnership
and
this
also
frees
up
an
additional
four
ASD
drivers
who
will
restore
service
to
students
across
the
district
not
at
Jay
bear
so
we're
very
thankful
for
that
two.
We
have
over
50
individuals
and
bus
driver
training
or
with
September
start
dates
or
in
the
interview
process.
So
that
means
we're
on
track
to
be
stacked
about
205
out
of
our
228
routes
by
early
October.
G
So
what
that
means,
in
other
words,
is
that
we're
in
Arm's
Reach
of
restoring
service
sometime
in
October
and
sooner
if
we
get
more
licensed
drivers
in
our
applicant
pool.
So,
with
the
end
of
tourism
season
upon
us,
I
highly
encourage
our
local
bus
drivers
to
consider
joining
team
ASD.
Our
students
and
Community
need
you
in
this
moment,
as
the
district
prepares
its
recommendation
to
the
board
on
how
to
fix
this
issue
long
term.
G
There
are
a
number
of
compelling
ideas
for
us
to
consider
as
a
board
to
address
the
root
cause
of
the
bus
driver
shortage
going
into
the
next
school
year
and
there's
more
to
come
on
that
in
the
future.
Our
external
audit
of
bus
routes
and
transportation
operations
will
Aid
the
administration
on
this
front
and
help
us
transform
our
transportation
division
to
be
among
the
most
efficient
of
our
large
District
peers,
and
hopefully,
we'll
never
be
in
this
situation
again.
G
Lastly,
we're
gearing
up
for
the
transition
to
cohort
to
a
bus
service
and
we'll
be
communicating
information
to
families
and
the
community
regularly
so
that
we
can
prepare.
You
probably
already
saw
some
of
our
coverage
in
the
ADN.
What
the
colorful
ads
that
are
also
helping
us
promote
I
think
that's
a
really
positive
thing,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
make
sure
that
families
are
aware.
The
city
is
aware
of
how
this
could
impact
traffic.
G
Do
you
want
to
give
a
couple
updates
on
budget
one?
Earlier
this
evening,
the
board
was
presented
with
additional
information
on
potential
strategies
to
address
the
shortfall.
The
purpose
of
today's
presentation
was
not
to
provide
recommendations,
but
to
present
information
that
will
inform
our
difficult
conversations.
This
fall
I
made
a
commitment
to
the
board
that
we
would
not
leave
any
stone
unturned,
so
we
need
to
provide
extensive
cost
information
so
that
we
do
our
best
to
ensure
our
Cuts
do
not
impact
learning.
G
Lastly,
with
budget
I
know,
I
shared
some
exciting
news
this
month
about
enrollment
increases
at
some
schools
and
being
slightly
above
enrollment
projections,
but
I
want
the
community
to
understand
that
in
the
big
picture,
we're
still
down
thousands
of
students
from
where
we
were
at
10
years
ago.
So,
in
other
words,
yes,
some
schools
will
receive
additional
teachers
because
enrollment
is
up
at
their
school,
but
at
the
system
level
that's
not
happening
consistently.
Lastly,
I
want
to
get
a
staffing
update.
G
I
know
the
attention
has
been
on
bus
drivers,
but
I
also
want
the
community
to
know
that
we
actively
need
substitute
teachers,
paraprofessionals
and
Food
Service
staff
in
the
district.
This
is
at
the
Forefront
of
the
district
leadership's
agendas,
as
we
determine
short-term
and
long-term
solutions
to
this
issue.
Compensation
is
one
variable
in
the
puzzle,
but
we
must
also
have
other
conversations
about
systemic
issues
that
may
be
impacting
our
shortages
On.
G
So,
to
close,
in
summary,
the
charge
to
the
community
is
to
think
of
ways
that
you
want
to
help
students
succeed
whether
you
offer
a
carpool
to
your
neighbor's
children
or
volunteer
in
our
classrooms
as
a
cro
or
as
a
crossing
guard
or
perhaps
even
considering
a
career
in
ASD.
Now
is
the
time
to
do
it.
So
I
encourage
you
to
check
out
our
website
at
asdk12.org
work
for
ASD
and
asdk12.org
volunteer
to
get
more
information
on
how
you
can
offer
your
time
and
expertise
to
our
students,
so
I'll
close
there.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
J
So
did
I,
oh
actually,
I'll,
because
it
was
my
kid's
first
field
trip
and
the
kind
people
dealing
with
all
the
volunteers
expedited
the
field
trip.
So
there
was
a
lot
of
juggling
but
well
done.
I
was
this.
Was
a
question
I
received
at
a
community
council?
J
Are
we
tapping
into
whatever
asd's
pool
of
retired
teachers
might
be
to
help
as
substitutes
to
help
I
mean?
Are
we
reaching
out
to
them
in
any
organized
concerted
fashion,
because
that
was
that
Community
member's
suggestion
and
I
thought
it
was
a
relevant
one
to
at
least
raise
I.
G
A
L
Works
one
question
I
received
and
I
did
not
know
the
answer.
Honestly.
Are
we
recruiting
for
bus
drivers
to
work
part-time
or
only
full-time,
both.
A
You,
okay
Andy,
do
you
have
anything
on
this
end?
Okay,
member
Higgins,
I
see
your
mic.
Son
was
at
just
from
the
last
time.
I'm.
A
E
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
it's
strangely
and
not
too
early
to
think
about
legislative
action.
The
next
session
and
I
haven't
had
the
time
to
figure
out
why
Alaska
can't
have
the
National
Guard
help
out
with
school,
busing
and
emergencies.
I
know
many
other
states
have
the
National
Guard
help
out.
If
there's
any
way
that
between
now
and
when
we
sit
down
to
make
our
legislative
priorities,
we
could
better
understand
it.
So
the
board
could
consider
making
that
a
legislative
priority
to
change
the
law,
so
the
National
Guard
could
help
us
out.
A
Thank
you,
member
Donley
and
I
know
while
I'm,
what
came
to
mind
is
regarding
legislative
priorities
is
Heather
breaks
will
be
at
the
next
Communications
meeting
today
to
specifically
address
the
question
regarding
those
bills
that
didn't
get
traction,
so
this
could
be
part
of
possibly
part
of
that.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
any
other
yes,
I.
I
Think
that's!
The
answer
is
yes.
No,
yes,
a
couple
of
comments.
One
I
appreciate
the
analytical
approach
that
you're
giving
this
information
and
there's
new
information.
So
it's
really
value
added
to
me
to
listen
to
them
of
this
information.
I
really
do
appreciate
that
the
only
thing
I
would
ask
or
ask
for
consideration
is
that
we
have
presentations
and
we're
talking
about
issues
involving
staff
is
is
at
least
an
acknowledgment
of
what
the
staff
is
saying
or
where
the
issues
are
and
why
we're
taking
the
direction.
I
We
are
because
one
of
the
complaints
that
I
hear
from
staff
is
that
they
don't
hear
us
we're
not
listening.
We're
not
doing
that.
I
know
that's
a
different
day
today.
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
think
somewhere
in
here
the
fact
that
they're,
not
following
this
material
they're
not
doing
this
or
not
doing
that.
The
question
is
why,
well,
what
is
the
staff
saying
what
the
issue
is?
I
think
that's
relevant
to
the
board,
to
to
us
to
the
confirmation
that
is
being
heard
by
the
administration.
I
A
You,
member
Higgins,
okay,
not
seeing
any
more
comments,
we're
moving
and
thank
you.
Dr
Brian.
Moving
on
to
item
J
comments,
school
board
and
administration
comments
before
I
get
to
those
I'll
just
say
that
your
committee
reports
are
attached.
A
If
you
have
committee
reports,
please
give
them
make
sure
Amanda
gets
those
and
the
community
outreach
report
will
be
attached.
Mostly
that's
the
school
board,
not
school
board.
The
community
council
little
update
that
I
do.
But
you
are
certainly
welcome
to
do
your.
D
A
Don't
have
to
use
mine,
but
if
you
do
your
own,
you
might
want
to
also
attach
it
to
the
agenda.
Okay.
So
now,
let's
start
to
my
right
board
member
comments.
Y
Yeah
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
attendance
numbers,
the
the
Dr
Bryant
mentioned
are
heartening,
have
been
by
some
of
the
schools
and
truly
the
traffic
is
atrocious.
I
mean
people
are
having
to
endure
in
order
to
get
their
kids
to
the
the
front
door
and
get
back
out
again.
Y
In
some
cases,
I've
only
been
near
a
school
and
been
very
aware
that,
like
holy
heck,
why
are
all
these
cars
here
and
I
realize
there's
an
elementary
school
four
or
five
blocks
away,
and
that
is
what's
happening
so
the
the
people
are
getting
through.
That
is
really
encouraging.
I
also
appreciate
very
much
the
call
to
serve
as
part
of
the
solution.
Yeah
I
do
think
that
organically
a
lot
of
times,
we
we
want
to
make
it
about
money
and
say
Hey.
You
can
come
make
money,
but
the
reality
is.
Y
Why
they're
there
and
I
think
it's
good
that
we're
tapping
that
resource
and
that
it
is
coming
through
the
the
last
thing
I
did
I
got
directed
to
a
social
media
post
by
a
friend
of
mine
that
got
shared
literally
hundreds
of
times
and
then
became
the
article
for
a
Blog
when
I
first
saw
it
I,
elevated
it
to
Dr
Brandt,
and
he
did
a
bit
of
research
and
came
back
with
the
actual
facts
behind
it,
and
that
was
very
helpful
and
I
have
been
in
Communications
with
at
least
two
dozen
people
about
it.
Y
You
know
we
have
a
Blog
that
published
something
as
if
it
was
a
factual
article
based
off
a
social
media
post
from
someone
who
did
not
have
first-hand
experience.
It
was
wildly
inaccurate.
You
know
just
it
as
things
often
do
it
touched
on
some
things
that
actually
happened
and
then
painted
a
picture
of
something
that
did
not,
and
it
was
helpful
to
have
the
rapid
response.
Y
It
is
a
case
that
a
lot
of
people
are
painting
what's
going
on
in
our
schools
in
a
really
negative
like
and
and
it
it
has
always
happened
a
little
bit
and
and
I
think
as
an
educator.
Y
You
kind
of
skate
by
it
and
just
realize
it's
going
to
happen,
but
it's
happening
in
such
a
degree
and
the
volume
of
it
is
so
high
and,
and
some
of
the
things
are
so
pointed
that
I
feel
like
we
all
need
to
be
pushing
back
on
that
I
spent
a
lot
of
years
in
the
classroom
and
I'm
going
to
say
over
90
of
the
time
what
I
saw
was
teachers
on
task
on
topic
for
the
material
that
they
had
whatever
class
it
was
I
had
my
own
class,
but
I
also
worked
in
technology
for
a
number
of
years,
so
I
was
in
and
out
of
a
lot
of
classes.
Y
We're
not
spending
a
huge
amount
of
time
trying
to
sexualize
children
or
confuse
them
about
their
gender,
and
that
really
is
a
very
prolific
accusation
being
leveled
at
our
school
district.
Right
now,
our
school
district
and
districts
across
the
country
and
and
I
hope
everyone
will
push
back
on
it.
The
the
people
I
know
work
very
hard
at
communicating
their
material
in
the
best
way
possible.
It's
about
the
the
subject
matter.
It
is,
as
a
number
of
folks
have
said,
you
know.
Y
They
wouldn't
be
coming
back
with
all
these
other
things
that
people
are
suggesting
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
on
so
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff,
for
what
I
see
is
very
hard,
focused
work
from
the
very
top
of
the
administration
write
down
through
the
classroom
and
into
the
folks
that
are
making
the
buildings
work
by
keeping
them
clean
or
serving
food
or
supporting
staff
and
and
I
think
we
need
to
just
make
sure
we
emphasize
that
to
folks
and
push
back
on
some
of
the
stories
that
are
being
generated.
A
Thank
you,
member
Holloman.
All
of
those
were,
on
my
mind,
heart
and
mind
as
well.
Thank
you
remember
lessons.
J
Thank
you
sincerely
to
members
of
the
administration
for
answering
the
money,
questions
that
board
members
and
I
and
I,
maybe
especially
asked
so
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
I
set
up
I'm
so
excited
this
is
more
for
the
rest
of
you.
I
figured
out
that
I
could
create
a
Google
form
and
send
time
slots
to
the
schools
in
my
yeah,
I've
got
Bartlett
area
schools
and
so
I
sent
that
out
today.
So
I've
got
like
30
or
40
time
slots
that
I
created
and
hoping
the
principals
can
say.
J
L
L
A
E
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
parents
and
students
out
there
for
or
the
patience
and
understanding
what
the
school
bus
issues
greatly
appreciated
and
just
be
as
nice
as
you
can
to
each
other
and
you're
in
those
long
lines,
because
it's
it's
everybody's
in
the
same
boat
and
it's
in
and
I
know
the
administration's
doing
everything
we
can
to
alleviate
the
situation.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
patience.
F
President,
just
a
couple
quick
notes:
I
I
will
on
Echo,
has
been
I'm
inspiring
to
see
our
community
staff
or
Educators
come
together
and
make
the
the
start
of
the
school
year
of
success
despite
some
of
the
transportation
challenges.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
grace
and
and
the
kindness
that's
been
displayed
and
all
the
the
first
day
of
school
photos.
F
You
know
having
teenagers
didn't
really
always
hit
home,
but
seen
some
of
the
little
ones.
It
was
pretty
inspiring.
Pretty
cool
I
I
wanted
to
share.
We've
had
some
pretty
tough
conversations
today
and
so
I
wanted
to
share
that.
You
know
a
note
of
hope.
I
guess.
I
was
sitting
at
a
community
council
meeting
last
month
and
there
was
a
study
brought
up
that
our
Eiser
released
I.
Think
in
March
that
indicated
that's
I'm
Alaska's
K-12
education
spending
based
on
2019
data.
F
Some
of
that
is
taking
hold
and
folks
are
having
uneducated
conversations
on
some
of
the
challenges
this
district
is
facing
and
so
I
think
we've
we've
done
what
we
could
delay
some
of
groundwork,
we're
just
scratching
the
surface,
with
some
of
the
conversations
we're
having
now
but
I.
Think
as
we
move
into
legislative
priorities,
the
challenge
will
be
not
just
harnessing
the
energy
of
the
the
seven
of
us
here
at
the
table,
but
engaging
that
Community.
Who
knows
what
nicer
is?
Who
knows
that?
F
There's
funding
that's
below
the
national
average
and
activating
those
individuals
to
inform
their
elected
officials
on
what's
important,
and
why
is
going
to
be
supremely
important,
so
I've
already
done
my
thinking.
Cap
on
that
area,
I
hope
you
folks
do
too.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
the
rest
of
the
board
for
saving
me
three
hours
and
20
minutes
from
my
comments,
so
that
I
can
make
sure
I
cover
them
all
I
believe
you
gotta
have
a
sense
of
humor
with
this
kind
of
stuff,
but
you
got
to
be
dead
serious
about
the
issues
too.
Let
me
start
with
Finance.
Everybody
knows
we're
under
crisis
point
we're
going
to
be
getting
that
that
direction
and
I'll
just
reach
out
to
the
public.
I
If
you've
got
an
interest
in
where
the
schools
are
going,
would
you
give
them
funding?
Ask
every
candidate
to
explain:
will
they
stand
on
the
issues
so
that
you
know
when
you're,
when
you're
voting
when
you're
engaging
it
becomes
an
issue?
If
it's
on
the
website,
that's
probably
an
indication
that
it
should
be,
and
that's
probably
a
good
time
to
ask
questions.
I
I
remember
several
years
ago,
but
probably
nine
years
ago,
when
the
school
was
looking
at
cutting
middle
school
and
just
changing
High
School
classes
and
a
number
of
other
things,
the
public
got
in
ways
started.
Making
calls
to
legislators
and
legislators
were
going
crazy
with
what
the
heck
is
going
on
at
the
school
board
cause
it
I
told
him.
Schoolboy
did
cause
it,
we
teach
Civics
and
so
be
it,
but
it
changed
things
and
we
got
funding
that
year.
I
I
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
from
Inlet,
View
I
will
say:
I
keep
hearing
the
emotions
associated
with
it,
with
parents,
with
staff
and
with
kids.
It
means
a
lot.
Ultimately
that
decision
has
to
be
based
not
on
wanting
to
do
something
political
which
I
think
is
popular.
It's
not
going
to
do
with
where
we
can
cut
money
because
we
have
options
out
there.
It
has
to
do
what's
going
to
be
best
for
the
kids,
that's
a
very
full
school.
It's
very
popular.
The
results
are
good.
I
notice.
I
You
got
a
new
superintendent,
I
know,
office,
social
from
Abbott,
Loop
and
I
know
he's
very
committed
to
what
Inlet
View
is
trying
to
accomplish.
So
I
appreciate
all
that
when
we
get
to
that
discussion.
Ultimately,
we
have
to
focus
on
what's
best
for
kids.
I
appreciate,
also
the
file
on
file
on
fire
firearms
safety
issues,
I
I
question
that
is
saying
what.
How
are
you
going
to
teach
kids
to
to
have
the
adult
and
their
family
lock
up
their
guns?
I,
don't
know,
there's
a
lot
of
issues
there.
I
I
just
want
I
would
support
anything.
If
there's
evidence
to
support
it's
going
to
keep
the
kids
safer,
I
support
it.
I
just
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
work,
because
the
issue
becomes
outside
of
the
school
district
and
such
a
way
that
I
don't
know
how
we
can
do
that
the
best,
but
it's
needed
I'll,
throw
out
for
just
a
discussion
as
we
look
at
budgets.
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
charter
schools
are
trying
to
do
or
what
they
are
looking
ahead
at
doing
because
they
have
their
own
budget,
but
that
also
makes
a
difference
on
whether
they're
in
their
own
school
or
whether
they're
in
one
of
our
schools.
If
we've
got
less
students,
if
we
have
some
space,
the
all
schools
are
safe
compared
to
others
and
I.
Think
that
that's
an
issue
but
it
impacts
their
budget,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
something
for
discussion
out
there.
I
am
I
will
have
to
mention
this
briefly.
I
My
comment
about
board
member
Donnelly
is
I
always
like
to
joke
with
them,
because
when
I
first
came
on
the
board
with
this
time
around
he's
the
one
most
questioning
and
challenging.
Why
can't
we
do
things
differently
and
I
like
that?
So
he
knows
that
already
in
line
with
that
I
appreciate
the
fact
he
keeps
bringing
up
issues
and
and
the
fact
that
he
hasn't
overreacted
too
much
joke.
So
that's
pretty
good
I.
I
That
I
hope
we
get
into
a
discussion
of
gods
and
go
gold
rails,
because
the
goal
right
now
is
to
have
kids
proficient
at
fourth
grade,
and
the
goal
is
the
goal
is
not
like
it
used
to
be
all
kids
need
to
advance
academically
one
full
year,
and
that
makes
a
difference
on
how
the
programs
will
be.
I
That
makes
a
difference
for
those
kids
that
makes
a
difference
to
parents
and
leaving
that
behind
to
me
is
a
serious
issue
and
I'll
challenge
the
issue
of
whether
or
not
we're
living
up
to
the
guard
rails.
If
we
come
out
with
a
plan,
how
we're
going
to
do
it
in
three
years,
we're
not
meeting
it.
Let's
question
and
challenge
the
goals
in
the
guardrails.
I
Now
I,
don't
disagree
with
the
concept
I
just
question
right
now,
whether
or
not
we're
meeting
that
in
in
line
with
that
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
some
of
the
ptas
I
know
some
of
those
are
stepping
up
with
some
of
the
shortages.
We
have
whether
it's
Food
Service,
whether
it's
other
issues
out
there,
they're
really
trying
to
do
stuff
out
there
and
they
play
a
pretty
significant
role
in
the
schools.
They
get
really
active
depends
upon
the
PTA.
I
But
to
me
that
is
really
beneficial
and
I
appreciate
that
engagement
for
the
success
of
kids.
It's
a
sacrifice
on
their
part,
but
I
appreciate
it.
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
on
that
and
just
a
real
heartfelt
thinks
on
that
and
I'll
yield
the
other
three
hours
and
15
minutes
and
Reserve
that
for
next
board
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
member
Higgins,
so
Dr
Bryant
did
you
have
any
final
comments.
G
No
I
just
wanted
to
wish
everyone
a
great
evening
and
I
wanted
to
note
it's
about
my
two-month
anniversary
and
it's
been
a
great
two
months
with
ASD
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
many
many
more
months
so.
B
A
Six
weeks,
almost
okay,
so
we're
gonna
make
it
we're
not
gonna
give
up.
So
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
just
a
couple
of
announcements.
If
you
are
board
members,
if
you
are
planning
on
attending
the
boardsmanship
conference
in
Fairbanks,
you
need
to
probably
see
Amanda.
Sooner
than
later,
I
am
I.
I
mentioned
I
asked
about
Ursa
Major
early
earlier
and
I
I'm
gonna,
wait
and
see
what
the
report
says,
but
I
don't
want
that
to
get
lost
in
the
conversation.
A
Whatever
the
decision
is,
we
must
have
it
so
we
I
don't
want
that
to
get
lost
the
revolution
on
firearm
safety,
safe
storage,
it's
an
edge.
It's
an
education
campaign,
it's
not
just
for
being
smart
as
adults.
It's
also
kids
being
able
to
ask
smart
questions
of
adults.
That
resolution
did
move
out
of
committee.
We
expect
to
have
it
on
our
non-action.
Actually
it
didn't
get
much
opposition,
but
it
will
be
on
our
non-action
agenda
next
meeting.
A
We
also
have
our
joint
school
board
meeting
it's
not
until
the
23rd,
but
you
might
want
to
make
sure
you
join
assembly
school
board
meeting
and
an
hour
before
that
I
think
it's
Andy
and
Carl
will
be
our
Representatives
on
the
safe
school
bus
routes
and
I'd.
Also
like
somebody
from
the
administration
on
that
Con
on
that
committee
as
well.
A
This
first
meeting
is
just
a
planning
meeting,
but
as
we
as
we
continue
to
to
develop
the
committee
and
the
work
of
the
committee,
we
need
to
have
ASC
and
I
know
that
we're
in
education
we're
not
about
building
roads,
but
we
need
safe
routes
to
school,
and
that
was
that
came
up
in
January,
I
think
as
a
joint
ASD
assembly
projects,
and
so
with
that.
That's
all
the
comments
that
I
have
I
do
really.
A
The
my
final
comment
is
just
we
have
had
a
lot
of
questions.
I
mean
I
mean
the
board.
The
seven-headed
monster
has
had
a
lot
of
questions
and
every
single
question
has
gotten
an
answer:
I
try
to
track
them,
so
please
remember
to
put
Amanda
and
I
on
your
questions.
Believe
me,
it
will
get
where
it
needs
to
get
I'm,
not
intercepting
or
interfering
I'm,
facilitating
the
answer
to
your
question.
A
So
please
continue
to
follow
our
process
to
do
that,
because
it
really
it's
really
helpful
to
get
the
information
and
help
get
it
to
Dr
Bryant
and
his
staff
as
soon
as
possible.
A
So
so,
with
that
I'm
gonna
just
wish
everybody
a
nice
lovely
evening
and
I'll
see
you
back
here
in
two
weeks:
oh
no,
tomorrow
we
have
a
ad
hoc
I
mean
tomorrow.
We.
