B
Today
is
Tuesday
September
5th
we'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
our
regular
school
board.
Meeting
the
time
is
603
all
board
members
are
present
in
the
boardroom.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Along
with
our
superintendent
Dr
Bryant,
our
student
representative,
Joshua
Peck,
and
our
executive
assistant
Amanda
Foster.
C
We
acknowledge
that
we
gather
here
today
on
the
traditional
lens
of
the
denial
of
people
of
the
upper
Cook
Inlet
for
thousands
of
years.
The
deny
the
people
have
been
and
continue
to
be.
The
stewards
of
this
land
ASD
is
committed
to
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
it
is
with
honor
and
respect
that
we
recognize
all
indigenous
people
who
live
and
learn
in
our
community.
B
So
we'd
like
to
welcome
you
again
to
our
school
board
meeting
and
thank
you
for
not
just
attending
but
supporting
the
work
of
the
Anchorage
School
Board.
B
C
Thank
you
Margot.
My
first
thing
to
comment
today
is
a
timely
one.
It
is
surrounding
the
whole
situation
with
the
Matsu
school
girl
or
Matsu
Borough
School
District
around
their
student
representative
position.
To
briefly
sum
it
up.
The
msbsd
is
attempting
to
reduce
their
student
Representatives
position
like
mine,
their
school
board
to
only
a
short
report
instead
of
their
position
or
the
active
position
where
they
get
to
engage
and
represent
his
fellow
peers
on
matters
that
concern
their
students
basically
completely.
C
B
F
Thank
you
thought
about
addressing
this
in
the
comments
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
but
it's
relevant
to
what
you
reported
on.
One
of
the
comments
from
a
board
member
in
Matsu
was
that
having
a
student
representative
seated
with
the
board
was
in
a.
A
F
F
In
particular,
there
are
not
a
lot
of
venues
for
students
to
speak
to
the
board
other
than
the
three-minute
testimony,
and
yet
they
are
our
primary
concern
and
the
single
largest
group
of
people
that
we
impact
in
ostensibly
the
whole
reason
we're
here,
every
so
often
and
and
having
a
place
where
you
have
the
ability
to
ask
questions,
as
things
are
presented
to
us,
as
you
have
the
ability
to
ask
questions
of
us
and
do
other
things
makes
this
a
better
board
and,
and
it
brings
voices
into
the
room
that
we're
very
distanced
from
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
age
being
being
a
huge
one,
but
also
in
terms
of
just
who
we
intermingle
with
and
and
everything
else.
F
I
think
it
was
a
terrible
way
to
treat
anyone,
but
in
particular
someone
that
had
previously
sat
with
them
and
and
yeah
I
I
think
the
disposition
of
I'm
only
speaking
for
myself
but
I'm
happy
to
fight
any
other
member
on
the
board
that
feels
differently
about
this,
but
I
I
feel
like
you're
here
to
bring
things
to
the
table
that
we
would
not
see
otherwise
we'd
be
remiss
to
restrict
that
or
or
walk
that
back
in
any
fashion.
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
will
of
anyone.
I
know
of
on
this
board.
F
F
They
can't
remember
anyone,
That
Ever
Walked
backward
from
it
once
they
actually
put
it
in
place,
and
it's
becoming
more
common
on
assemblies.
It's
becoming
more
common
with
a
lot
of
governing
boards
that
that
they
want
to
actually
have
a
direct
voice
from
their
clientele,
and
that
is
our
students.
F
So
it
it's
a
critically
important
role
and
thank
you
for
doing
it
and
it's
a
lonely
spot
for
a
student
to
come
sit
in
this
meeting
because
we
don't
bump
into
each
other
a
lot
outside
of
of
all
this
and
everything
I
wouldn't
call
it
recreational
I,
don't
think
I'd
call
it
fun.
Sometimes
it's
interesting,
and
it's
probably
the
nicest
thing
you
can
say
about
it,
but
it
is
important
and
we
do
appreciate
your
being
here.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
G
And
Josh
I
continued
to
respect
your
work.
Your
intellect
your
thoughtfulness,
your
right
and
you
are
an
excellent
choice
to
convey
the
sentiments
of
your
peers,
so
I
continue
to
value
that
I
did
have
a
request,
if
that,
if
you
could,
please
share
the
Sab
agenda,
at
least
with
I.
Think
member
Wilson
and
I
are
at
your
board
liaison.
So
perhaps
the
whole
board
as
a
whole
might
like
that.
So
maybe
you
can
just
send
that
to
Amanda
each
month.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
will
say
that
I,
agree
and
I
will
remember
holloman's
remarks.
I
think
the
only
thing
would
I
would
disagree
with
is
by
indicating
that
Mr
pack
seems
like
he's
having
tons
of
fun
down
here,
so
I'm
not
sure
about
what
you're
looking
at.
But
with
that
said,
I
did
just
a
clarification
question
for
our
student
representative.
Will
the
sap
be
voting
on
The
Resolution
that
you'll
be
working
with
the
Matsu
student
rep
on.
C
B
B
We
know
School
comes
first
and
we
will
be
very
understanding
because
that's
from
10
to
12.,
but
if
you
could,
we
meet
quarterly
so
make
sure
we'll
make
sure
that's
on
your
calendar
as
well
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,.
G
I
wasn't
planning
on
bringing
this
up,
but
perhaps
if
there's
a
way
to
use
technology,
so
our
student
representative
could
zoom
in
to
share.
If
there's
a
student
report
I
mean
then
he
could
stay
at
school,
but
the
majority
of
that
time,
but
then
show
about
it
at
a
point
in
time.
It's
just
sort
of
a
oh.
B
And
we
look
forward
to
updates
on
the
activities
that
you
have
planned,
oh,
which
includes
the
panel,
the
student,
mental
health
Wellness
panel
that
you
Maggie
and
hopefully
Zoe
will
be
able
to
attend
next
week.
So
we'll
we
look
for
that
report
too.
All
right!
Thank
you
all
right.
So
item.
That's
item.
That
concludes
item
B1.
We
are
not
on
item
B2,
Dr
Bryant.
Thank.
H
You,
madam
president,
so
just
a
little
bit
of
context
for
this
item,
you
may
be
wondering
why
we
haven't
been
able
to
discuss
our
goal
monitoring
so
Madam.
President
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
provided
more
context
as
to
what's
going
on
with
the
data
at
the
state
level
and
a
couple
of
updates
on
the
status
of
the
ELA
curriculum
rollout
so
I'll
hand
it
off
to
our
team.
I
Yeah
members
of
the
school
board,
so
our
first
two
progress
monitoring
reports
were
supposed
to
be
on
our
star
data.
Our
state
assessment
data
that
data
isn't
probably
going
to
come
to
us
until
much
later
in
the
school
year,
possibly
after
Christmas
Even.
So
we're
unable
to
do
those
because
we
don't
have
the
data
for
those
there's
some
things
going
on
at
the
state
level
that
they're
looking
at
those
results
and
working
on
that.
So
but
we
are
doing
work
still
and
the
reads.
I
Act
is
a
big
lift
that
we've
had
and
we
have
the
new
ckla
Adoption
and
we
thought
this
would
be
a
good
time
as
we
start
reorganizing.
That
goal
monitoring
calendar
that
we
have
to
give
you
an
update
as
to
what
has
happened
and
where
we're
going
with
the
ckla
adoption
and
the
reads
act.
So
Diane
is
here
with
a
few
notes
on
that.
F
J
First
of
all,
we
wanted
to
thank
you
for
all
your
support
for
the
new
teacher
Academy
that
went
off
really
well.
On
the
last
two
days
of
the
new
teacher
Academy,
we
trained
all
k-3
teachers
in
the
entire
District
training,
up
to
650
teachers
on
the
ckla
implementation,
the
ins
and
outs
of
the
curriculum
and
then
how
to
use
it
get
started
on
the
beginning
pieces
of
it.
That's
only
the
Tipping
Point,
just
the
beginning
of
the
training
that
we
will
be
doing
with
our
teachers.
J
Throughout
the
year
we
were
required
to
submit
an
mtss
plan
to
the
state
by
September
1st.
We
were
able
to
submit
it
prior
to
September
1st,
so
our
mtss
plan
is
updated
and
at
the
state
level,
at
this
point-
and
we
can
update
you
when
we
receive
approval
on
our
plan,
all
our
curriculum
materials
arrived
in
state
and
teachers
have
the
materials
in
hand.
J
We
are
in
the
process
of
adjusting
materials
because
we
have
some
schools
that
had
higher
numbers
than
anticipated
in
some
schools
that
had
lower
numbers
ins
in
the
sped
Department
with
our
resource
teachers,
we
are
making
some
adjustments.
We
had
a
special
training
for
our
resource
teachers
on
the
10th
and
11th.
It
wasn't
the
type
of
training
that
we
had
hoped
for.
J
They
were
not
able
to
give
our
teachers
guidance
on
how
they
should
prioritize
within
the
curriculum
for
research
teachers.
So
at
our
level
with
Nicole
Somerville,
we
are
readjusting
our
plans
and
we'll
be
readjusting
how
we
train
our
research
teachers
on
using
the
curriculum
correctly
and
just
a
couple
of
more
things.
J
J
Talking
about
the
ckla
reads:
act,
adoption
and
the
importance
of
attendance
in
order
for
this
to
to
work
really
well
for
us,
amongst
other
things,
she's
also
creating
videos
on
parent
engagement,
and
so
that
will
look
really
nice.
We're
very
happy
about
that.
And
then,
finally,
this
month
is
a
really
busy
month
for
our
department.
We're
currently
engaged
in
screening
all
our
Kindred
through
third
grade
students.
We
have
testing,
we
have
11
testing
teams
out
doing
all
the
testing.
J
We
are
involved
in
training
in
m-class
intervention
and
boost.
We
talked
about
those
two
intervention
programs
that
we
purchased,
we're
in
the
process
of
training,
all
our
teachers
and
we're
also
training
them
in
how
to
utilize
the
progress
monitoring
part
in
m-class
amplify.
So
we
have
about
1500
teachers
that
were
in
the
process
of
training,
we're
prioritizing
our
Kindred
through
third
grade
teachers,
and
this
will
probably
take
us
up
until
December
to
get
everybody
trained
and
then
finally,
we
updated
our
targeted
intervention
forms.
F
J
What
the
state
calls
our
individual
reading
Improvement
plan-
we've
updated
the
form
so
that
it's
easier
for
our
teachers
to
use
and
we
will
be
training
our
principals
so
that
they
can
in
turn,
train
their
staff
on
how
to
use
these
forms.
Because
once
we
get
the
screening
done,
they'll
have
to
access
those
forms
right
away,
and
then
we
are
also
training.
Our
staff
on
how
to
read
the
reports
from
the
screeners
so
that
they're
able
to
articulate
them
to
the
parents
at
their
first
parent
conferences.
And
that's
it.
I
Actually,
there's
another
thing
that
I
did
want
to
mention
is
it's
a
big
lift
for
our
teachers
and
for
our
principals
to
get
all
this
stuff
done
and
we
have
been
showing
and
telling
the
principles
where
we
should
be
showing
some
Grace
with
our
teachers,
because
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
we're
we've
realized.
We
have
to
slow
down
a
little
bit
to
make
sure
it's
done
right,
and
so,
but
it's
a
huge
lift
for
every
one
of
those
teachers
and
principal.
E
Yeah.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Just
a
question
about
the
certification
or
teachers
or
I
believe
expected
to
have
as
part
of
the
reads
Act.
Is
that
something
that's
happened
happening
as
part
of
professional
development,
either
before
or
after
the
start
of
the
year.
Is
it
something
teachers
are
expected
to
do
outside
of
forcing
hours
and
are
they
compensated
for
that?
Has
that
been
decided
yet
or
is
that
still
pending.
J
So
the
training
they're
required
to
have
is
training
required
by
the
state.
It's
not
they're
not
expected
to
be
certified
until
2025,
so
we'll
be
addressing
that.
As
time
goes,
we
really
want
to
spend
our
time
focused
on
the
ckla
implementation.
However,
a
lot
of
teachers
have
started.
The
training
I
took
the
training,
it's
the
keys
to
literacy
training.
The
state
is
paying
for
that
training
for
all
teachers
right
now,
so
we're
taking
advantage
of
that.
J
It
is
in
our
own
time,
unfortunately,
and
it
is
about
45
hours
of
training,
they
receive
three
credits
through
UAA
when
they
take
the
training
and
they
also
receive
a
certificate
that
states
that
they
are
certified
in
the
science
of
reading.
They
can
use
that
certificate
to
acquire
a
reading
endorsement
through
the
state
right
now,
the
state
is
saying
that
it'll
cost
us
fifty
dollars
per
endorsement,
but
they
are
also
at
the
state
level
discussing
whether
or
not
they'll
waive
those
fees.
J
E
Follow
up
people
follow.
Thank
you
for
the
information
more
related
to
our
goal,
monitoring
schedule,
I
I,
don't
know
if
we've
already
considered
this
and
I
think
there
was
made
mention
of
reorganizing
our
goal,
monitoring
schedule,
but
we're
into
September
now
without
having
conducted
a
goal
monitoring
session.
If
we
don't
get
results
sooner
than
later,
I
would
hope
we
start
monitoring.
Maybe
some
guard
rail
data
that
we
know
can
be
looked
at.
E
H
Through
the
president
member
Jacobs,
that
is
something
that's
on
our
mind,
we're
in
a
similar
predicament
this
time
last
year
and
last
year
we
chose
to
go
the
path
of
presenting
interim
data,
so
really
fresh
data
that
also
lended
itself
to
valuable
discussion.
So
I
anticipate
in
our
next
board
planning
meeting
we'll
propose
a
couple
of
options
for
the
board
to
finalize
so
we'll
resume
the
sessions
likely
in
October
great.
B
So
can
you
clarify
so
we
are?
We
have
not
received
the
Alaska
star
data
from
the
state
when,
when
was
that
expected
initially
was
it
like
last
spring
this
summer,
in
the
summer,
okay
and
so
yeah
I
mean
so
we
can't
it's
not
our
fault
right
now,
I'm,
not
blaming,
but
it
absolutely
is
not
the
district's
fault
that
we
do
not
have
the
Alaska
star
data.
B
And
I
I
absolutely
agree
with
member
Jacobs
and
a
superintendent
that
while
we
wait,
maybe
we
look
at
the
guard
rails
and
where
we
are
with
those
during
this
time
where
we
really
can't,
or
we
look
at
some
other
kinds
of
things
that
are
happening.
I
Yes,
one
on
one:
it's
a
one-on-one:
it's
not
like
it's
not
by
classes
classes,
it's
one-on-one
test
and
it's
done
by
a
team.
That's
been
totally
trained:
25
Subs,
10,
reading
intervention,
specialist
25
ignite
teachers
and
one
to
two
people
from
each
School.
In
the
past
we
had
instructional
coaches,
but
of
course
those
went
away
through
the
budget
process,
and
so
we've
had
to
readjust
and
make
a
team
yeah.
J
I'd
say
it
wrong
off
the
top
I
think
it's
I
think
you're
you're,
probably
close
to
it.
I
I'm,
not
sure,
okay,.
A
H
I
just
wanted
to
again
be
very
clear
with
what
we
shared
today
for
the
record
that
the
reason
why
parents
and
students
in
the
community
don't
have
access
to
AK
star
data
is
because
of
processes
at
the
state
level
if
it
were
up
to
ASD
we'd
love
to
share
that
implant
around
the
data.
But
the
state
has
not
given
us
that
data.
B
B
B
B
B
Speaking
time
may
not
be
shared
with
others
when
your
name
is
called,
please
come
to
the
podium
and
or
on
star
six
online
state.
Your
name
and
direct
your
comments
to
the
chair.
Please
understand
that
this
is
not
a
time
for
dialogue.
The
purpose
of
this
agenda
item
is
for
you,
the
public,
to
inform
us
the
school
board
about
your
views.
B
B
Finally,
I'd
like
to
call
your
attention
to
the
blue
and
white
handout.
That
is
at
the
door.
It
goes
over
the
expected
decorum
in
the
boardroom
and
generally
we
follow
Robert's
Rules
of
Order,
so
those
rules
are
at
the
door.
You
can
have
a
copy
for
your
record
if
you
I
mean
for
your
review,
if
you,
if
you
would
like
one
so
with
those
with
that
information
in
place,
we'd
like
to
call
our
first
speaker,
which
is
telephonic
Lewis
valesco,.
B
K
It
is
yes
good
evening.
My
name
is
Jackie.
I
will
be
reading
from
this
page,
because
I'm
deeply
angered
by
the
handling
of
special
education
in
this
District.
B
Can
you
pull
your
mic
a
little
closer,
so
we
can
hear
you
thank.
You
is.
K
K
K
The
advancements
especially
made
in
special
education
have
been
many
in
those
years.
However,
ASD
seems
to
be
living
in
the
past
when
we
decided
to
move
back
to
Anchorage
from
Texas
I
was
thrilled,
I
would
be
back
in
a
familiar
territory
or
territory.
As
far
as
my
children's
education
went,
however,
upon
arriving
and
enrolling
archer
in
school
I
have
been
met
with
many
issues
involving
her
education
in
care.
K
K
To
say
this
is
an
abuse
of
her
rights
as
a
person
with
disabilities
and
as
an
American
citizen
is
an
understatement.
The
anchor
school
district
has
bended
the
rules
of
fape
to
fit
their
agenda.
Children
are
to
be
met
with
support
of
their
disabilities
in
their
school,
not
whatever
school
is
equipped
previously
to
accommodate
their
needs.
K
This
the
goal
of
an
IEP
is
to
get
is
to
Aspire
to
get
students
to
a
level
in
which
they
can
attend.
General
education
and
fostering
segregation
amongst
disabilities
does
not
support
this
effort.
Schools
in
this
District
are
massively
understaffed,
because
teachers,
Paris
and
AIDS
are
not
being
paid
living
wages.
K
K
You
have
30
seconds
keep
going
I
can
tell
by
the
way
your
professionals
talk
to
parents
and
IEP
meetings
that
they
are
accustomed
to
getting
their
way
due
to
parents,
not
asking
why,
when
met
with
small
forms
of
resistance,
they
became
physically
uncomfortable.
They
are
accustomed
to
having
to
look
other
places
for
to
find
proper
supports
for
students.
This
is
unacceptable
and
it
starts
at
the
top
as
a
parent
of
a
child
who
taught
who
fought
so
hard
to
live.
I
have
the
unique
skills
kit,
which
is
having
the
endurance
and
the
voice
to
advocate.
B
Yes,
that
that
is,
that
is
your
time.
For
now,
if
you'd
like
to
send
us
the
rest
of
your
comments,
you
can
email
them
to
us.
M
B
B
This
is
from
the
Anchorage
Education
Association.
The
date
is
September
4th
2023
ASD
aea
ASD
negotiations.
Dear
president,
Bellamy
and
school
board
members
on
behalf
of
the
3000
members
of
the
Anchorage
Education
Association,
the
aea
bargaining
team
is
prepared
to
begin
negotiations
for
a
successor
contract.
B
The
association
looks
forward
to
productive
negotiations
based
on
School
District
proposals
that
will
lead
to
an
agreement
that
focuses
on
retaining
Educators
essential
to
achieving
School
Board
goals
and
increasing
student
outcomes,
sincerely
Corey
angst
president
Anchorage
Education
Association,
and
while
he
is
in
the
room,
he
did
ask
that
the
statement
be
read
into
the
record.
Thank
you.
B
All
right.
That
concludes
our
public
comments.
For
the
first
hour,
we
are
now
we're
now
on
item
e
consent
agenda.
Would
any
board
member
like
to
pull
any
item
from
the
consent
agenda?
Remember
Donley,.
M
Yes,
I'd
like
to
call
item
or.
B
Action,
let
me
just
look
here
a
minute.
B
F
A
L
D
B
B
Remember
Donnelly:
do
you
want
to
speak
to
your
amendment
to
while
you
pulled
a
zero
one
step,
one
zero
one,
nine.
M
I'm
concerned,
because
of
my
experience
with
the
last
reading,
curriculum
that
we
adopted
I
think
clearly,
the
primary
emphasis
of
the
reading
curriculum
should
be
its
emphasis
of
phonics,
which
this
may
or
may
not
turn
out
to
be.
I
know
that
phonics
are
component
of
it,
but
I'm
concerned
that
it's
not
articulated
in
the
memorandum
as
the
primary
most
important
component.
M
Secondly,
in
2012
the
Anchorage
School
Board
passed
a
resolution
requiring
all
curriculum
to
be
in
compliance
with
national
common
core
standards,
but
Alaska
law
requires
us
to
use
Alaska
state
standards
and
although
the
two
standards
may
be
compatible,
I
believe
the
primary
goal
should
be
the
adoption
of
curriculum
consistent
with
the
Alaska
Standard
and
not
National
Common
Core,
in
fact,
there's
even
some
statutory
law.
That
brings
the
funding
into
consideration
if
our
primary
emphasis,
which
is
now
the
rule
in
this
district,
is
compliance
with
national
Common.
M
Core
I
also
believe
from
past
experience
that
the
success
of
any
new
reading
curriculum
will
be
greatly
influenced
by
the
effectiveness
of
its
implementation.
Three
years
into
the
last
curriculum,
the
board
did
a
survey
and
discovered
that
over
40
percent
of
the
classrooms
had
not
even
opened
the
new
curriculum
that
the
board
had
approved.
M
I
would
like
greater
emphasis
in
this
resolution,
identifying
how
we're
going
to
prevent
that
from
happening
again
with
this
new
curriculum
I
think
what
there
was
with
the
last
one
that
was
positive,
got
lost
because
of
the
lack
of
implementation
effectively
and
finally,
I'm
continuing
to
be
disappointed
that
this
district
has
not
done
anything
aggressively
to
expand
the
utilization
of
Spalding
reading,
because
we
know
that
our
alternative
schools
that
are
allowed
to
utilize
Spalding
reading
are
vast
are
very,
very
successful
and
for
years,
I've
been
advocating
that
we
even
incrementally
expand
the
use
of
Spalding
reading.
M
Even
if
it's
just
one
additional
School
a
year,
we
ought
to
be
working
towards
the
for
greater
utilization
of
this
very,
very
successful
reading
curriculum
and
it's
and
I
understand.
There's,
there's
difficulty
in
teaching
teachers
to
teach
it.
It's
important
that
the
parents
buy
into
that,
but
I
still
think
that
we
have
failed
in
in
using
the
opportunity
of
this
phenomenal
reading.
M
B
Is
there
any
other
comments?
Remember
Jacobs.
B
M
Like
to
hear
more
than
the
memo
has
in
it
about
implementation,
there's
one
line
in
the
memorandum
that
speaks
to
intent
for
implementation
working
with
our
instructors,
but
that
didn't
work
last
time
and
I'd
like
to
hear
what's
going
to
be
different
this
time
with
implementation.
Thank.
E
E
I
want
to
fact
check
my
own
understanding
that
ckla
and
the
implementation
that
we're
voting
on
tonight,
as
well
as
the
previous
K3
vote,
occurred
in
part,
because
the
legislature
passed
the
reads
act,
which
was
signed
by
Governor
Dunleavy
and
required
the
curriculum
from
the
Department
of
education's
choosing
we
adopted
and
ckla
was
one
of
the
choices
and
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
I,
actually
wasn't
a
spalling
choice
on
the
approved
reading
list
for
the
district
to
choose
from
and
so
I
guess.
I
would
like
to
fact
check.
H
Bryant
through
the
president
to
member
Jacobson
member
Donnelly
I
think
these
are
points
that
we
should
definitely
address
to
inform
our
votes
tonight.
A
couple
of
key
facts,
so
the
district
chose
to
participate
in
a
grant
program
where
the
state
would
subsidize
or
for
some
districts,
fully
fund
the
adoption
of
a
new
curriculum.
H
So,
in
the
conversations
we
had
last
year,
we
discussed
that
it
was
our
intent
from
the
beginning
to
adopt
a
curriculum
for
K-5,
so
tonight
we're
looking
at
a
four
or
five
curriculum
I,
it's
very
unconventional
for
one
Elementary
School
to
have
two
curriculums
at
the
same
time.
So
really
we
were
hoping
for
this
to
be
the
last
transition
year
and
then
going
into
next
year.
Every
Elementary
School
will
have
the
same
curriculum
that
the
board
adopted
through
the
process
earlier
last
spring.
I
believe
so.
H
This
is
really
making
the
most
of
the
funds
that
we
got
from
the
state
and
just
a
refresh
us
on
what
that
process
looked
like
the
state
because
of
Alaska
reads:
they
vetted
a
set
of
curriculum.
They
boiled
it
down
to
five.
H
The
district
got
that
reduced
set
of
five
and
we
actually
enlisted
dozens
of
teachers
and
staff,
members
and
experts
to
go
through
a
pretty
robust
process
to
rate
all
of
those
curriculum
across
a
rubric,
and
then
we
presented
that
information
to
the
board
and
we
decided
to
adopt
K3,
and
it
was
my
understanding
it
was
with
the
expectation
we
would
find
the
funds
to
fund
the
rest
of
it
the
next
year.
So
that's
really
what
the
vote
for
tonight
is
about.
H
The
other
point
I
wanted
to
make
is
the
implementation
is
a
great
question,
because
you
know
curriculum
is
one
thing,
but
if
it's
not,
you
know
highly
rigorous,
if
it's
not
aligned,
then
it
doesn't
necessarily
improve
student
learning.
So
I
actually
want
to
thank
the
board,
specifically
because
I
came
to
the
board
and
I
said
that
I'm
a
little
concerned,
it's
a
big
lift
to
adopt
curriculum.
How
to
compressed
timeline
and
I
was
thankful
that
the
board
supported
one
extra
days
for
teachers.
H
We
voted
on
that
in
the
special
meeting
this
summer
to
allow
teachers
extra
time
to
adapt
to
this
new
curriculum.
Those
teachers
could
conceivably
use
those
days.
Those
experiences
to
have
a
successful
implementation
of
grades,
four
five
if
they
are
in
another
grade
level
next
year,
and
then
this
was
one
of
the
Prime
reasons
why
I
advocated
strongly
for
professional
learning
communities
Mondays,
because
it
gives
an
hour
every
week
for
teachers
to
come
together
and
share
instructional
best
practices
and
work
with
their
colleagues
on
instruction
specifically
aligned
to
the
board
goals.
H
G
Thank
you
for
the
questions.
Thank
you
for
the
response.
I
I
wanted
to
maybe
add
a
little
bit
more,
although
I'm
I'm,
not
the
expert
in
the
room,
I
think
one
of
the
things
about
you
know
to
your
point,
remember
Donnie
about
the
importance
of
phonics.
It's
my
understanding!
That's
really
core
to
the
K3
work
right.
G
We
talk
about
learning,
to
read,
and
then
you
pivot
to
the
reading
to
learn,
and
one
of
the
reasons
quite
frankly
that
I
a
year
ago,
would
have
preferred
to
have
just
gone
whole
hog
and
done
the
whole
K-5
purchase.
Is
that
I'm
particularly
concerned
about
this
year's?
Fourth
graders?
That
data
show
are
going
to
be
needing
continued
extra
doses
of
tutoring
support
intervention
and
in
a
way,
I
I
still
sort
of
wish.
G
We
had
been
able
if
we
had
the
capacity,
the
Staffing
the
resources
to
have
moved
forward
with
the
entire
ckla
implementation
this
year,
but
I
was
you
know
we
were
told
that
that
wasn't
really
humanly
possible,
and
so
stretching
is
up
at
stretching
as
what
we
had
to
do.
G
But
I
do
think
that,
as
we
go
forward
really
what's
going
to
be
more
important,
is
that
tier,
two
and
tier
3
materials
for
these
students
who
are
at
risk
are
going
to
be
not
only
provided
but
staffed,
and
so
I
think
that,
really,
as
we
think
about
future
budgeting
scenarios,
making
sure
that
we
have
the
Personnel
to
divide
our
most
at-risk
students
into
the
appropriate
size,
small
groups
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
those
tier
two
and
tier
three
resources
is
going
to
be
critical.
G
So
I
think
you
know
it
will
help
create
a
seamless,
Elementary
School
experience
to
have
the
K-5
materials
be
in
alignment,
but
I.
Think,
more
importantly,
for
the
reading
growth.
That
I
think
we
all
want
to
see
is
that
we
need
the
resources
to
be
able
to
fully
implement
it.
We
heard
that
there
is
an
implementation
plan,
but
a
plan
is
only
as
good
as
the
ability
for
the
people
power
behind
the
plan
and
that's
where
I
I'm
worried
that
we're
going
to
be
struggling.
B
E
You
just
want
to
so
put
a
pin
on
one
item
that
I
think
Dr
Brown
was
able
to
address
or
didn't
address,
and
that
was
I.
Guess
I
was
looking
to
confirm
my
recollection
and
understanding
that
Spalding
wasn't
on
the
list
of
Alaska
deed,
approved
curriculum
that
ASD
could
have
chosen
from
when
we
adopted
K3.
That.
B
M
B
F
G
C
B
B
And
we're
moving
on
our
agenda
to
item
G.
That's
a
non-action
item
for
tonight
approval
of
the
23-24
organizational
chart.
We
will
vote
on
that
next
time.
We're
together.
If
you
have
questions,
please
send
them
into
the
staff
well
in
advance
of
the
meeting,
please
we
have
no
further
public
comment.
I'll
give
one
more
look
to
Mr.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
we
haven't
met
since
the
start
of
schools,
so
we've
officially
launched
for
23-24
and
you
know
having
been
in
quite
a
few
schools
since
the
start.
We
really
do
have
some
positive
momentum
going.
Generally
speaking,
so
you
know
in
the
schools
and
the
classrooms
that
I
visited,
I'm,
feeling
positivity
I'm
sensing
optimism
and
overall
I'm,
seeing
a
focus
on
the
board
goals
and
student
learning.
So
just
a
few
things
I
want
to
highlight
on
some
Reflections
from
the
past
few
weeks.
H
So
you
know
number
one
is
plc's
I've
been
participating
in
all
the
PLC
Mondays
and,
as
you
all
know,
we
deployed
Ed
center
staff
to
assist
with
child
supervision
for
principals
and
to
collect
data
every
week
as
to
where
are
the
hot
spots
and
it's
paid
off.
H
So
we
already
know
where
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
need
and
we're
seeing
areas
where
we're
not
seeing
as
much
need
so
we're
diverting
resources
to
the
right
schools
and
thankfully
I've
been
able
to
actually
sit
in
the
plcs
and
just
make
sure
and
model
that
these
are
very
important
to
pull
off
with
Fidelity
they're.
Not
a
meeting
they're
a
time
for
teachers
to
collaborate
on
student
outcomes
and
goals.
H
So
right
now,
teachers
are
learning
what
is
a
PLC
to
set
a
strong
foundation,
so
they
can
take
ownership
of
that
time
and
to
use
it
to
make
the
most
of
student
outcomes.
The
other
thing
that
I've
been
looking
at
is
CCL.
So
you
know
I
want
to
highlight
what
was
shared
earlier
this
afternoon,
which
is
that
our
CCL
team
has
conducted
over
30
stakeholder
meetings
in
August
alone.
Everything
with
different
stakeholders
such
as
the
business
Community
jber
trade
associations,
other
leaders.
H
So
we
are
on
track
to
have
an
exciting
launch
to
our
October
12th
community
convening
and,
of
course,
all
board
members
are
invited
and
we'll
send
you
the
details
if
we
haven't
already
and
really
the
focus
for
me
now
that
we
haven't
had
as
many
operational
crises
this
time
around
for
beginning
a
school,
it's
really
just
being
in
the
schools
doing
walkthroughs
myself.
So
you
might
be
wondering
what
is
the
superintendent
looking
at
when
he's
in
a
building?
H
And
it's
quite
a
few
things
that
I've
outlined
in
board
connect,
but
everything
from
visitor
protocols
to
how
the
ckla
rollout's
going
to
observing
class
sizes
and
Bubbles
and
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
look
at
for
future
bonds,
Staffing
and
then
I.
Try
to
observe
climate
talk
to
teachers,
understand
how
they're
feeling
and
talk
with
principals
to
brainstorm
ways
that
we
can
be
better
supports
to
the
buildings.
But
overall,
what
I'm
sensing
is
that
the
message
is
cascading
down
that
what
matters
are
reading
and
math
and
life
Readiness.
H
So
that's
exciting
for
me,
and
I
really
need
to
encourage
and
model
that
momentum,
so
that
the
entire
organization
knows
that
that's
the
priority.
I
want
to
highlight
transportation.
That
was
something
I
was
curious
about
for
the
first
day
of
school
and
we
started
the
year
with
full
student
transportation
service.
So
that's
a
big
milestone
that
the
team
is
proud
of
after
what
happened
last
year,
so
our
commitment
to
paying
drivers,
competitive
wages,
reimagining
recruitment
keeping
drivers
employed
during
the
summer
did
pay
off
and
we're
thankful
to
the
transportation
Professionals
in
our
district.
H
Many
of
them
joined
ASD
in
the
middle
of
our
crisis.
They
heard
her
call
to
action,
they
joined
our
ranks
and
they
chose
to
stay
in
team
ASD.
So
just
a
huge
thank
you
to
our
transportation
staff,
who
are
making
sure
that
kids
can
focus
on
learning
and
our
families
and
Community
is
not
stressed
about
the
transportation
and
I
want
to
say
in
that
same
vein.
Across
all
of
our
groups,
we've
been
tackling
changes
to
really
make
a
dent.
These
vacancies
in
the
high
need
areas.
H
In
particular,
there
is
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
but
we've
been
having
conversations
with
the
board
and
internally
about
ways
that
we
can
recruit
and
retain
talent
in
all
of
our
areas,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
schools
are
fully
staffed.
But
that
does
bring
me
to
my
last
topic
that
I
want
to
talk
about,
which
is
the
kind
of
the
road
and
next
steps
to
the
conversations
around
consolidizing
and
right
sizing.
Our
footprint
it
was
covered
in
the
media.
I
did
share
it
in
our.
H
You
know
board
connect
a
couple
of
times,
but
you
know
I
really
do
want
the
community
and
public
to
understand
that
as
ASD
offers
more
competitive
wages
to
combat
inflation
and
to
decrease
vacancies.
That
does
mean
that
the
cost
of
business
is
rising
in
ASD,
while
the
funding
remains
flat,
so
in
other
words,
in
the
absence
of
larger
recurring
investments
in
education.
In
the
absence
of
a
major
surge
of
new
families
into
Alaska,
we
do
need
to
seriously
consider
substantially
shrinking
our
operational
footprint
to
ensure
that
all
students
have
access
to
properly
resourced
schools.
H
Right
sizing
is
not
about
the
budget.
It's
about
designing
our
schools
to
where
they're
adequately
staffed
to
where
we
have
balanced
class
sizes
and
to
where
we
have
robust
course
offerings
that
are
more
difficult
to
offer
at
the
scale
of
the
number
of
buildings
that
we
have
with
the
number
of
students
and
funding
from
the
state
that
we're
currently
getting.
So
what
I
want
to
share
tonight
is
just
that.
Those
internal
conversations
are
happening
about
how
to
best
discuss
the
topic
with
the
community,
how
to
best
gather
their
feedback.
H
I
do
recommend
that
we
approach
the
school
consolidation
conversation
differently
than
we
did
last
year,
for
example,
in
instead
of
discussing
specific
schools,
I
actually
think
that
we
need
a
year
just
to
talk
with
the
community,
get
their
input
on
the
conversation
in
general.
So
we
can
understand
what
the
concerns
are.
What
are
the
attitudes
and
perceptions
around
right
sizing?
So
if
the
board
is
asked
to
do
it,
they
have
much
more
data
and
robust
information
than
we
had
last
time
on
such
a
short
Runway.
H
So
that
means
that
we're
going
to
start
that
Community
engagement
process
throughout
the
year
in
different
ways
more
details
later,
but
I'm
trying
to
get
the
board
on
track
to
make
a
decision
sometime
before
the
fy25
budget
cycle
is
finalized.
H
So
we
do
have
a
road
map,
but
I
think
that
Community
engagement
is
going
to
be
critical
to
getting
the
the
support
and
understanding
for
why
we're
doing
it
and
again,
I
think
the
other
key
difference
is
that
the
conversation
is
going
to
be
less
around
budget,
because
I
really
do
want
to
chip
at
vacancies.
H
H
It's
complicated,
but
it's
been
done
in
other
places
and
it's
something
that
the
community
can
consider
talking
about
here
and
then
you
know
the
board
has
a
very
difficult
decision
to
deliberate
Once,
We
Gather
that
information,
so
I'll
have
more
to
share
in
the
coming
months
with
the
board
I
think
I
Envision
having
a
more
formal
timeline
presented
to
the
board
in
the
coming
weeks,
just
to
preview.
H
It
get
your
feedback,
but
I
do
think
it's
very
important
just
given
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
seeing
in
our
schools
as
a
result
of
our
enrollment
and
funding
situation.
So
those
are
the
major
topics
that
I
wanted
to
highlight:
we'll
continue
to
prioritize
the
big
six
initiatives
that
are
aligned
to
the
board
goals,
including
CCL.
That
concludes
my
report.
B
Oh
yeah
I,
don't
have
no
questions,
I'm
surprised,
I
have
a
one.
Actually
it
it
can
you
with
the
plcs
now
I've
heard
nothing
but
good
news
about
the
plcs,
and
these
are
from
educators.
So
it's
something
they
obviously
value
and,
and
you
said
so,
what
is
this?
Can
you
just
give
us
the
structure
of
it?
I
know
that
they
come
in
an
hour
early,
they're
together
either
in
groups
they're,
pods
or
teams.
A
B
They
are
working
and
then
tell
us
what
happens
to
those
kids
that
come
early
outside
of
that
I
think
I
mean
you've,
given
us
an
update,
but
I
don't
know
that
the
public
has
heard
the
Epic.
H
Yeah
sure
that's
a
really
good
question
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
be
out
there
in
the
schools
kind
of
seeing
how
this
plays
out.
So,
just
to
recap,
the
board
and
Community.
We
made
a
promise
to
families
that
if
they
need
to
drop
off
their
students
at
the
same
time,
five
days
a
week,
they'll
have
that
option
to
do
so
and
they
don't
need
to
necessarily
pay
for
an
extra
Care
Program,
like
you
know,
Camp
campfire,
to
do
that.
H
So
what
that
means
is
right.
Now
we
deployed
all
of
our
Ed
center
staff
to
various
elementary
schools,
because
those
were
the
school's
most
vulnerable
to
being
impacted
by
the
child
care
situation.
Some
schools
were
very
minimally
impacted,
other
schools.
They
did
have
quite
a
few
drop-offs.
So
right
after
every
PLC
Monday
we
meet
as
a
senior
team
and
we
look
school
by
school,
we're
the
Hot
Pockets
and
then
we
start
adding
resources
to
those
schools,
and
then
we
mostly
partner
with
the
principles
to
figure
out
okay.
H
What
is
it
going
to
take
to
be
able
to
pull
off
child
care
in?
For
that
one
hour
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
whether
it's
our
team
or
whether
it's
more
resources
or
reaching
out
to
the
community,
so
it's
just
really
varied,
but
the
child
care
piece
is
one
piece
because
and
just
so
the
public
understands
what's
going
on
is
that
plc's
are
designed
for
instructional
staff
to
be
together,
they're,
not
supervising
students
they're,
not
in
a
staff
meeting
they're
talking
about
student
outcomes
and
achievement.
H
So
I
could
talk
about
plc's
all
night
long,
because
I
actually
used
to
be
a
PLC
leader
myself
when
I
was
an
educator
and
I
led
math
professional
learning
for
my
district,
when
I
was
a
teacher
and
I
actually
implemented
plc's
for
advanced
placement
courses,
and
we
saw
huge
gains
and
outcomes.
So
it's
just
an
area
where
I
have
a
lot
of
content,
expertise
and
passion,
but
the
point
of
it
is
is
that
what
makes
the
PLC
special
is
that
it's
teacher
driven?
H
So
it's
it's,
not
administrators
telling
teachers
what
they
need
to
know
it's
teachers,
reflecting
with
their
colleagues
about
what
are
best
practices
in
education
that
they
need
to
know.
Looking
at
data
sharing
the
best
practices
because
I
think
about
it,
some
teachers
have
served
students
in
different
parts
of
a
student's
careers
within
one
elementary
school.
So
one
teacher
might
have
great
strategies
for
working
with
certain
groups
of
students
that
a
new
teacher
might
not
so
they're
just
so
many
baked
in
benefits
to
a
professional
Learning
Community.
The
biggest
cost
is
the
investment
of
time
infidelity.
H
So
that's
why
this
first
month
the
plcs
have
kind
of
been
plc's
about
how
to
do
a
PLC,
because
if
you
don't
know
what
it
is,
you
might
interpret
it
as
a
department
meeting.
You
might
interpret
it
as
a
staff
meeting
and
that's
not
what
it's
about,
and
that's
also
part
of
the
reason
why
I
personally
go
to
a
different
PLC
every
week,
because
I
want
to
model
that
it's
my
expectation
that
it's
not
that
and
anytime.
H
Somebody
comes
to
me
and
says:
oh
can
I
talk
about
this
administrative
thing
and
PLC
I'm
going
to
say
no
and
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
that
I'm
going
to
say
no,
because
we
need
to
set
a
good
expectation
at
the
top
that
a
PLC
is
about
instruction
and
if
we're
going
to
invest
an
hour
every
week,
it
needs
to
be
aligned
to
what
helps
students
achieve,
which
are
supported
teachers
in
all
of
our
classrooms.
So
I
think
this
was
a
big
gift
to
teachers.
That
I
think
was
long
overdue.
H
It's
not
new
to
ASD.
We've
done
this
in
the
high
schools,
but
now
we're
doing
it.
System-Wide
and
the
Ed
Center
is
here
to
support
schools
to
where
they
don't
need
to
worry
about
the
supervision,
if
they're
having
issues
so
we're
going
to
keep
on
going
out
to
schools,
at
least
for
the
next
couple
weeks,
if
not
longer.
Okay,.
B
N
So
I
I
had
the
privilege
of
going
to
visit
Denali
Montessori
School
recently
walking
into
the
school,
so
my
kids
attended
Denali,
my
three
kids
attended,
Denali
and
so
I
got
to
visit
their
old
stomping
ground,
and
that
was
really
nice
walking
in
the
security.
Vestibule
was
beautiful.
That
did
not
exist
when
my
kids
attended,
so
that
that's
always
a
lot
of
fun
is
going
to
the
schools
and
I
look
forward
to
attending
Russian
Jack
Elementary's
open
house
on
Thursday
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
the
appreciation.
N
I
received
a
few
invitations
from
principals
and
and
teachers
to
attend
not
to
attend,
but
to
visit
their
schools
as
well.
So
I
really
appreciate
those
invitations
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
visit
schools
and
now
that
we're
back
in
school,
we're
gearing
up
for
new
Communications
on
attendance
and
reading
and
speaking
of
back
to
school,
our
weather
lab
series
returns
tomorrow
night
with
our
partners
at
ktuu
and
kyes.
N
G
Sure
I
want
to
thank
again
the
administration
for
that
update
on
why
we're
still
waiting
for
data
on
AK
star
from
the
state
they're
trying
to
understand
what
they
mean
by
proficiency,
which
sort
of
brings
us
back
to
the
work
session,
and
you
know
at
some
level.
You
know
what
students
are
doing
here
with
their
GPA.
G
Maybe
that's
our
proof
in
the
pudding,
but
so
what's
the
Titan
weight
and
thank
you
also
for
the
ELA
update
and
the
really
strong
presentation
on
the
CCL
work.
G
G
G
That
said,
I'm
going
to
call
out
our
12th
graders,
who
are
already
lagging
behind
their
younger
counterparts.
There's
like
a
thousand
twelfth
graders
with
less
than
90
attempts
in
August,
so
you
know
clearly,
this
is
already
maybe
a
worrying
sign,
but
I
I
will
trust
that
the
administration
is
on
it
and
again.
I
know
that
our
principles
are
focused
in
I
was
at
one
of
our
high
schools
last
week
and
the
the
principle
relayed.
G
That
indeed
attendance
is
that
focus
and
really
got
into
the
discussion
that
it
comes
down
to
individual
students
right
every
student
has
a
story
and
how
can
we
troubleshoot
each
one
of
those
stories
and
it's
it's
an
opportunity?
It's
a
problem
and
an
opportunity
to
build
relationships
and
change
patterns
and
behaviors.
G
We
have
a
finance
committee
meeting
on
Thursday
at
noon.
We
will
be
focusing
on
capital
projects
and
construction
and
have
some
funding
related
discussions.
Oh
and
I
wanted
to
Circle
back
to
that
the
high
school
visit.
You
know
you
spoke
about
what
you
do
at
a
walk
through,
and
somebody
said:
what
do
you
know?
What
does
Uber
numbers?
Do
you
want
to
walk
through?
G
You
know
I
still
come
back
to
a
lesson,
a
math
lesson
a
year
or
two
ago,
negative,
nine
minus
six
right
and-
and
it
was
just
like
15
minutes
of
really
engaging
classroom
discussion
about
the
concept
of
negative
nine,
minus
six
and
I
was
just
quite
frankly
thrilling
to
watch
teach
you
good
teach
great
teaching
in
action,
but
to
the
point
of
what
else
you
know,
I
would
look
for
on
a
visit.
G
I
was
also
I
would
say
it's
a
multi-sensory
experience
right
thinking
about
leaky
roofs
in
this
case,
I
was
thinking
about
vaping,
so
I
walked
into
a
girl's
bathroom
and
was
greeted
with
the
overwhelming
smell
of
vaping
materials
right,
and
this
is
a
problem
not
just
in
this
one
school,
not
just
an
ASD
but
nationally,
and
so
you
know
this
is
a
great
example
of
community
problems
coming
into
our
schools
and
the
school
staff
is
working
on
it,
but
they
don't
have
the
resources
to
put
somebody
in
every
bathroom
all
the
time
and
because
students
know
that
cameras
are
everywhere
in
the
hallways
and
bathrooms
are
a
safe
space.
G
G
G
Frankly,
that's
a
problem
for
our
student
outcomes,
not
to
speak
of
you
know
Public
Health
later
on
down
the
road,
so
that's
kind
of
a
rabbit,
hole
or
a
digression,
but
I
just
want
to
say
chime
in
on
me.
What
else
you
can
learn
from
visiting
your
school.
F
F
That
happens
all
the
time,
but
not
strictly
in
terms
of
content,
but
in
terms
of
ability
to
do
the
things
that
students
do
when
they're
in
school,
that
that
lead
to
learning
and
it's
it's
a
secondary
effect
of
the
time
we
were
closed
during
covet
and
whatnot
and
I
I
am
wondering
if
the
district
has
plans
to
address
this
directly
in
this
coming
year,
to
Simply
look
for
students
that
that
may
have
been
doing
okay
before
but
are
doing
less
than.
Okay.
F
At
this
point,
and
and
as
always,
I
know,
there's
a
huge
obstacle
in
terms
of
trying
to
work
with
specific
students
that
are
behind,
because
you
don't
want
to
take
them
out
of
what's
Happening
currently
and
there's
no
other
time
in
the
day.
Unfortunately
Suds
this
is
a
question.
That's
asked.
Understanding
is
not
simple
answer
to
it
and
that,
but
it
would
be
good
to
know
if
a
district
or
principals
are
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
this
happen.
F
How
perhaps
to
get
extra
time
with
students
that
aren't
doing
particularly
well
and
also
I
I,
guess
just
to
recognize
that
teachers
are
having
to
deal
with
this,
that
there's
a
broader
range
of
performance
in
front
of
them
than
there
was
before
the
pandemic,
even
that
the
the
gap
between
your
best
student
and
your
student
who's
struggling
may
be
bigger
than
it's
ever
been.
Before
the
other
hand,
I
want
to
bring
up
I've
had
a
couple
of
ignite
teachers.
F
I
know
it's
a
big
task.
It's
thousands
of
responses.
You
do
need
a
focused
team,
that's
trained
so
there's
consistency
from
one
grader
to
another,
but
for
kids,
who
his
parents
see
ignite
as
a
critical
program
that
elevates
their
child's
interest
in
being
in
school.
F
It's
unfortunate
that
they're
being
pulled
for
several
weeks
and
that
those
classes
lapse,
especially
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year,
when
all
of
that
stuff
is
so
much
more
important
and
I
realized
it's
probably
too
late
to
do
anything
different
this
year,
but
I
would
hope
in
future
years.
F
Assuming
we
can
overcome
the
financial
issues
that
would
that
sparked
the
first
conversation
about
it
and
I'm
sure
we'll
spark
more
in
the
future
years,
but
other
than
that
it
seems
like
a
good
kickoff
to
the
year.
F
It
does
feel
a
little
more
normal
than
anything
we've
experienced
for
a
few
years,
and
the
last
request
is
just
kind
of
some
detailed
analysis
on
attendance,
maybe
at
the
next
couple
of
board
meetings
and
today's
still
too
early
to
really
say,
but
just
in
terms
of
the
percentage
of
students
we're
seeing
back
and
how
frequently
those
students
are
showing
up,
at
least
in
the
early
parts
of
it.
F
The
comments
in
the
work
session
about
attendance
being
key
seems
more
important
than
ever,
given
that
we
have
more
students
who
are
not
attending
as
regularly
as
they
used
to
say,
thanks
to
all
parents
and
staff
that
helped
make
this
year
roll
off
to
a
reasonable
start
and
I
hope
it
gets
better.
B
F
F
Expensive
and
not
not
a
trivial
task,
I,
don't
know
in
the
past.
How
much
would
we
have
tried
to
find
out
why
students
aren't
showing
up
I
know
that
some
teachers
and
nurses
can
answer
for
individual
students
that
they
know
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
a
wherewithal
to
do
any
kind
of
a
survey
to
try
to
get
an
idea
of
what
would
be
causing
our
students?
What
what
the
most
common
reasons
are
that
cause
our
students
to
miss?
F
C
So
I
would
like
to
talk
about
PLC,
Mondays
and
or
PLC
days.
General,
a
teacher
was
just
talking
about
that
today
and
how
she
has
used
it
with,
along
with
other
teachers
in
her
school,
to
implement
Equitable
educational
policies
and
Grading
policies,
and
that
such
and
I
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
on
how
I've
seen
it
directly
impact
and
improve
our
classroom.
I
can't
speak
on
behalf
of
every
classroom,
but
I've
seen
it.
A
C
B
Right,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
I
will
rise
to
the
occasion
on
the
invitation.
I
will
do
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Last
week
around
60
Minutes
it
was
a
fascinating
report
about
new
high-tech
Security
Options
for
classrooms,
around
America
and
some
districts
that
had
implemented
it
and,
of
course
our
district
I'm
very
grateful.
Our
district
has
really
improved
our
security
with
digital
upgrades,
but
I'm
curious
of
what
these
new
developments
and
New
Opportunities
how
they
might
integrate
with
our
digital
upgrades
that
we've
been
implementing
so.
A
M
There's
any
opportunity
to
give
us
some
sort
of
briefing
on
those
those
new
developments
in
in
classroom
security.
I'd
be
very
grateful
for
it.
You
know
a
lot
of
times.
M
You
just
take
things
for
granted
if
they're
working
well
and
this
board
and
the
administration
have
worked
very
hard
over
the
last
year
to
provide
you
know,
school
bus
drivers
and
to
prevent
what
happened
last
year
and
I'm
just
very,
very
grateful
to
the
administration
for
their
ongoing,
intense
efforts
to
not
to
avoid
having
a
shortage
of
drivers
again
this
year
and
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
on
successfully
achieving
that
goal.
It's
so
important
for
so
many
families.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
for
your
team's
efforts
on
that.
E
You,
madam
president,
did
want
to
thank
our
parents,
our
Educators,
our
support
staff
for
and
District
administration
for
getting
us
all
to
a
good
start.
This
year,
I
will
agree
that
it
seems
to
be
as
normal
as
a
year
that
we've
had
at
least
in
the
last
few,
so
we're
getting
back
to
that
new
normal
I
did
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
joint
meeting
with
the
Anchorage
assembly
on
the
15th
of
this
month.
E
B
L
Hope
everybody
took
a
restroom
Break
on
the
serious
side.
Let
me
say
first
of
all
that
the
work
session
today
I
really
enjoyed
it,
wasn't
focused
just
on
numbers
of
what
we're
doing
and
achieving
goals.
It
really
talked
about
some
of
the
things
that
are
being
done
in
in
contacting
kids
working
them
into
career
paths.
L
How
we're
trying
to
do
that
and
for
those
who
had
a
chance
to
see
that
I
think
it
was
very
informative
and
it's
kind
of
the
presentations
that
I
really
enjoy,
and
it
really
meant
a
lot
more
to
me
than
some
of
the
earlier
presentations.
So
I
wanted
to
start
off
by
saying.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
hope
that
that
same
approach
continues.
L
I
know
the
superintendent
made
reference
to
the
issue
of
closing
schools
and
it's
not
just
finances.
It's
a
lot
of
other
issues
out
there
and
we
need
to
be
honest
about
it.
If
we
can
get
better
outcomes,
if
we
can
do
other
things,
it's
got
to
be
student
focused,
always
I.
I
applaud
that
we'll
have
to
have
on
his
discussion
but
I
and
look
forward
to
hearing
both
the
pros
and
cons
because
there's
both
sides
to
this
issue.
We
want
parents
more
engaged
in
the
schools.
L
You
make
them
so
remote,
more
remote
you're
going
to
have
a
reduction
there,
but
by
the
same
token,
you're
going
to
have
more
activities
with
the
kids.
If
there's
a
and
then
I
went
to
one
school
already
within
my
group,
and
he
had
so
many
second
third
grades
together.
L
Third
and
fourth
grade
together
when
you
do
that,
you
impact
academic
outcomes,
I
understand
that
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
good
discussion
to
have
the
pros
and
cons
on
all
of
that
and
I
appreciate
that
I've
been
visiting
a
couple
of
schools
in
my
area
and
I'll
get
to
the
rest
of
them
so
I'm
giving
them
all
I
want
you
right
now,
but
I
enjoy
getting
a
chance
to
do
that.
Just
for
the
boy's
sake.
L
I
got
to
tell
you
when
I
in
the
previously
I
haven't
done
this
at
this
point,
but
I've
done
it
so
much
in
the
past,
when
I
was
visiting
things
like
food
service
and
find
out
the
role
that
food
service
pays
in
case
of
an
emergency,
and
you
know,
earthquake
and
all
the
other
issues
be
up
for
the
community
as
a
whole,
things
that
were
being
leading
in
other
areas
that
activities
it
really
is
good
to
kind
of
visit.
Those.
L
If
you
get
a
chance
to
visit
all
the
different
departments,
I've
done
that
the
past
I'm
going
to
start
revisiting
them
again,
just
because
I
enjoy
hearing
what
they
have
to
say
and
what
they're
doing
and
I
think
that's
important
and
I
guess.
The
last
point
is
and
I'll
mention
also
I
did
visit
Abbott
Loop.
It
was
nice
to
see
the
the
Alaska
native
cultural
Charter
School
in
there
they've
they're
enjoying
it.
It
puts
them
in
a
safe
school.
L
It
gives
them
a
better
atmosphere
to
be
able
to
be
successful
and
if
we're
closing
something-
and
we
have
a
chance
with
the
charter
schools,
it's
just
something.
That's
a
trade-off.
L
That's
a
very
positive:
it
doesn't
matter
whether
they're
Charter
School
of
regular
schools,
optional
programs,
they're
all
ASD,
kids
and
with
and
we're
responsible
for
the
safety
of
everyone,
and
these
schools
are
built
for
earthquake
protection
to
survive
it
compared
to
many
of
these
charter
schools
that
is
employees,
it's
just
not
safe
period,
and
the
last
I
just
make
reference
about
future
school
board
meetings.
L
It
says
that
call
it's
a
little
bit
to
720
right
now.
We
have
so
many
things
going
on
in
the
anchor
School
District
that'll
educational
to
the
board
opportunities.
I
remember
when
I
ran
for
the
school
board
two
years
ago,
had
two
school
board.
Members
were
asked
about:
SEL,
social,
emotional
learning
and
they're
responsible.
That's
that's
only
something
involving
counselors.
Nobody
else
is
involved.
Well,
you
know:
I
haven't
been
on
the
board
when
they
won
a
national
award
in
it.
L
I've
got
a
different
perspective
of
that,
but
I
realized
how
much
how
much
exposure
the
board
could
get
in
these
meetings
for
different
things
that
different
groups
out
there
in
the
anchor
School
District
are
accomplishing
some
of
the
things
that
take
pride
in
and
get
some
recognition
for
it.
If
we
can
include
when
we
know
we
got
a
short
void,
type
issue
to
have
a
chance
for
them
to
come
in
share
what
they're
doing
differently
talk
about
some
of
the
accomplishments.
L
We
can
talk
about
the
challenges
too,
but
but
in
every
Department
we
got
different
things
going
on
whether
it's
special
we
had
whether
it
was
training
and
development
issues,
whether
it's
well
food
service
was
at
one
point
that
was
too
close
to
collapsing
last
time.
L
In
it
and
they
should
get
some
recognition,
that's
how
I
feel
and
so
I
would
love
to
see
something
that
we
can
do
more
informative
to
the
board,
more
educational,
but
also
more
recognition
associated
with
it.
I
think
it
would
be
a
plus
and
I'll
reserve,
my
other
three
hours
for
the
next
school
board
meeting.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
and
I
I
do
hear
your
I
hear
your
comments
regarding
how
we
use
the
time
for
business
right
now.
Our
current
processes
that
we
use,
we
use
work
sessions
to
learn
and
enlighten.
B
B
We
can't
control
that
right
now,
but
I
can
bet
you
I
can
I
can
guarantee
you
that
that
will
be
coming.
The
other
thing
is
missing
is
at
least
45
minutes
to
an
hour
in
looking
at
our
monitoring
reports.
B
We
don't
have
and-
and
we
have
not
yet
implemented
our
community
engagement
calendar,
which
will
be
before
the
communications
committee,
so
that
you
will
see
those
groups
that
are
scheduled
to
come
before
us
and
the
only
other
thing
I'll
say
is
I
agree
with
you
that
the
board
anytime,
the
board,
gets
to
have
an
audience
or
be
an
audience
to
hear
what
our
people,
our
constituents,
are
saying
it's
great.
At
the
same
time,
though,
we
planned
each
agenda
tomorrow
at
noon.
We
will
be
planning
the
next
agenda.
B
That's
just
the
way,
that's
how
it
rolls
so
staff
has
adequate
time
so
that
we
can
make
adjustments
if
we
have
to
so
we
are
not.
We
are
I.
Just
want
you
to
know,
I
hear
you,
but
we
it's
not
a
matter
of
being
able
to.
We
have
more
time
now,
usually
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
than
we
have
at
other
times
of
the
year,
but
I
do
hear
you
and
I
think
our
community
engagement
calendar
will
help
with
that.
B
The
other
thing
is,
is
that
I
think
remember:
Jacobs
mentioned
that
we
do
have
an
assembly
joint
assembly
meeting
the
agenda,
Dr,
Brian
and
I
did
do
a
real
quick
coordination
with
the
assembly
and
Amanda
will
follow
up
on
those
items
tomorrow
and
the
next
day
next
few
days,
so
that
we
will
have
that
agenda
pretty
70
72
hours
before
and
of
course
we
will
board
members
who
are
not
able
to
be
in
a
present.
B
You
will
have
access
by
electronically
and
then
our
I
don't
know
people
don't
always
understand
that
the
board
is
assigned
each
board.
Member
is
assigned
a
designated
group
of
schools.
Now
you're
not
limited
to
those
schools
right
because
we
get
invited
to
all
to
all
schools
and
quite
often,
but
for
those
schools
that
you
are
assigned.
Please
make
sure.
However
you
do
it.
B
You
check
in
with
the
principal
see
what's
on
the
calendar,
plug
it
into
your
calendar,
be
there
to
support
and
and
be
available
to
other
schools
as
well.
It's
a
it's
a
list
because
each
of
you
have
about
12
to
15
schools,
and
then
you
will
add
to
that
six
or
seven
community
councils
and
they
are
all
kicking
off
this
month.
Some
of
you
are
missing
one
tonight,
or
maybe
you
missed
one
yeah
you're
missing
one
tonight,
I
can't
remember
which
one
it
is,
but
it
wasn't
one
of
mine.
B
So
if
you,
if
you
as
Amanda,
get
those
dates
confirmed,
she
will
put
them
on
your
calendar,
but
you
can
always
go
to
the
community
council
website
and
they
will
they.
If,
if
a
meeting
is
going
to
happen
this
week
or
next
week,
it'll
be
on
there,
it
may
not,
they
may
not
have
changed
their
calendar
so
we're
it's.
It's
kind
of
odd
I
personally
check
in
with
the
president
of
each
Council
to
just
let
them
know
so.
B
I
know
when
they're
going
to
meet
and
if
there
is
a
conflict
I
can
let
them
know
well
in
advance
or
participate
virtually
whichever
one
is
available.
So
with
that
I
do
I
also
enjoy
the
CCL
presentation.
It's
just
transformative
work
I
absolutely
enjoyed
the
data
presentation.
It
just
makes
sense.
It
makes
sense
on
such
a
a
level
that
it
really
it
really
provides
more
clarity
than
than
anything
I've
heard
in
a
long
time.
B
I've
struggled
with
how
taking
algebra
dictates
who's
going
to
be
successful
in
college
I
mean
I,
know
that
there's
some
research,
but
today's
presentation
makes
much
more
sense
to
me
so
I
thank
the
staff
for
that
I
think
Dr
Bryant
for
his
leadership
for
his
tireless
I
mean
I
I,
don't
even
know
I
mean
you're,
tough,
dude,
okay,
you're,
tough,
dude,
I'm.
D
B
You
I'm
gonna,
give
it
to
you
so
I
and
and
I
do
appreciate
all
the
work
