So,
as
we
also
had
the
end
of
the
year
meeting,
we
also
had
new
positions
for
our
e-board.
So
today
I
brought
the
incoming
new
school
board
reps.
This
is
cam,
he's
a
11th
grader
going
into
12th
grade
and
lila,
who
is
a
freshman?
She
will
be
becoming
a
sophomore
next
year
as
well.
I'd
just
like
to
say
it's.
It's
been
a
pleasure
sitting
in
the
meetings
and
giving
reports
informing
people
about
what
we
do.
Why
we
do
it
stuff
like
that.
So
thank
you.
I

In

were
very
happy
to
enjoy
this

I
Several

which
is
the
tug

and
many
more
fun
activities.
I
William

They

I
The

had
a
blast
with
the
tattoo
artist
dj
and
photo
booth.
Fifth
and
sixth
grade
fun
days
were
held
last
week,
kids
had
fun
being
outside
playing
games
and
socializing
with
friends.
Pto
would
like
to
thank
all
parents
and
staff
who
helped
this
year
be
as
successful
as
it
was
independence
middle
school.
The
ims
ptso
is
very
busy
with
planning
the
eighth
grade,
move
up
day
that
will
be
held
on
may
27th.
I
D
That's
projected
onto
a
screen,
it's
a
life-size
table
with
this
virtual
cadaver
and
they
can
access
all
of
the
body
systems
the
parts
they
can
turn
the
body
they
can
slice
and
dice,
and
it's
a
huge
contribution
to
the
health
sciences
department
at
steele
center.
So
the
students
will
have
access
to
to
study
with
this
hands-on
learning
tool.
It
was
provided
through
grant,
funding
and
some
fundraising.
It's
an
80
000
piece
of
equipment
and
our
students
in
the
health
science,
health
sciences
at
steel
center
have
access
to
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
report.
L
Thank
you
good
evening,
everyone
I'll
start
with
to
share.
We
received
a
certificate
from
senator
devlin,
roblins
robinson,
who
recognized
that
bethlehem
park
was
once
again
honored
by
the
namm
foundation
as
a
great
communities
for
music
education,
and
this
has
been
a
probably
a
several
decades
long
tradition
to
earn
that
designation
in
bethlehem
we're
most
proud,
and
we
appreciate
the
senator's
recognition
of
that
tradition.
L
L
She
was
hired
in
september
of
1982
as
a
bus
driver
and
she
served
until
99
and
came
back
again
in
2002
as
a
sub
driver
and
then
in
2004
became
a
full-time
driver
and
she'll
retire
from
that
position.
At
the
end
of
this
school
year
and
mr
william
herman
started
with
the
district
as
a
substitute
bus
driver
in
april
of
2011
in
2012,
he
became
a
full-time
bus
driver
and
he
holds
that
position
today.
L
N
O
N
First,
one,
we
celebrated
some
exploratory
days.
Many
district
schools
recently
celebrated
exploratory
days,
giving
students
access
to
a
number
of
different
traditions
and
cultures
or
career
paths
to
which
they
normally
wouldn't
be
exposed.
For
example,
students
at
memorial,
elementary
school
were
treated
to
the
traditions,
wardrobes
and
culinary
delights
of
a
number
of
countries
all
around
the
globe.
That
was
an
amazing,
exhibit
that
they
had
there
and
some
of
the
countries
featured
included:
germany,
france,
switzerland,
the
uk,
ireland,
greece,
south
korea,
japan
and
ethiopia.
N
I
still
can
smell
that
ethiopian
food
and
it
was
delicious
ims
also.
They
ran,
they
had
their
annual
first
ever
dice
day
and
william
penn,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
tomorrow,
will
have
a
career,
fair
and
exploration
event
at
the
school
for
students
from
6
to
8
p.m.
At
the
school
they've
worked
really
hard
at
it
and
they
had
an
event.
Today
they
had
an
assembly
for
the
kids
and
it
was
wonderful.
N
Earlier
this
month,
bethel
parks,
biology
students
spent
a
few
days
participating
in
the
crispr
cast
9
genetic
modification
lab
the
event
was
led
by
their
teachers
with
the
help
of
dr
david
boone
who's,
an
assistant
professor,
at
pitts,
prestigious
school
of
medicine,
genome
editing,
also
called
gene.
Editing
is
a
group
of
technologies
that
give
students
the
ability
to
change
an
organism's
dna
proponents
say
it
is
completely
changing
the
face
of
medicine.
I
see
someone
was
my
star
of
the
video
that
we
did
on
that
so,
and
it
was
a
really
pretty
amazing
event.
N
I'd
like
to
congratulate
the
lincoln
elementary
students
who
just
recorded
top
three
grade
level,
finishes
in
the
wqed
writers
contest
anna
schubert,
anna
schubert
milnik,
a
kindergartner
wrote,
hedgehogs,
go
wild
and
she
took
first
place.
Another
kindergartner,
teddy
griffiths
did
teddy
in
space
and
he
was
second
place
in
that
division.
There
were
more
than
800
entries,
which
is
pretty
amazing
for
us
to
take
the
top
two
spots
tonight:
jacob
anderson
who
won
last
year,
along
with
his
sister
olivia.
N
He
had
jake's
dream
job.
He
took
second
place
and
hazel
kemmerer.
A
third
grader
took
third
place
for
sunshine,
bakery
we're
very
proud
of
all
of
them,
and
they
really
did
a
wonderful
job.
Hydroponic
garden.
We've
talked
about
this
a
lot.
I
think
mr
espinar,
who
really
does
an
amazing
job.
His
class
at
neil
armstrong,
they've
spent
the
past
several
months.
Now
cultivating
a
hydroponic
garden.
N
It
was
delicious,
so
they've
really
done
an
amazing
job.
They
hope
to
expand
it
going
forward
and
I'm,
I
hope,
they're
able
to
as
well,
because
it
was
it
was
pretty
incredible
and
you
can
see
the
potential
in
it
and
it's
a
true
stem
lesson.
And
finally,
we
have
our
deca
students.
Deca
excelled
at
nationals.
Deca
always
does
an
amazing
job
and
we're
not
surprised,
but
we're
certainly
proud.
In
late
april
they
went
to
atlanta
and
some
of
the
winners.
O
Hello
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
inviting
us
today.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
recognize
the
efforts
of
all
of
our
students
and
I'm
really
excited
to
just
give
you
a
snapshot
about
what
deca
is
and
then
I'll.
Let
each
of
our
groups
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
their
project
and
what
they've
done,
but
if
you're
not
familiar
deca,
it's
an
international
organization
of
high
school
business
students
and
there's
over
170
000
students
involved
throughout
the
world
locally
at
our
chat
at
our
school.
O
It's
a
co-curricular
club
through
the
marketing
classes,
which
myself
and
mrs
christensen
are
the
instructors
and
in
the
classes
the
students
prepare
for
competition.
We
do
a
lot
of
community
service
which
you'll
hear
about
with
one
of
the
projects
today
and
a
lot
of
leadership
opportunities
to
one
of
our
students.
A
sophomore
lexi
dorfner
is
going
to
be
serving
on
the
state
officer
board
next
year,
too,
another
component
with
the
classes.
A
lot
of
these
students
are
all
the
ones
here
today
did
projects
which
it
can
be
from
an
integrated
marketing.
O
A
business
plan
operations,
research,
project
management,
and
these
were
comprised
of
20,
page
papers
and
15
minute
presentations,
which
a
lot
of
these,
if
you
saw
them
extremely
college
level
or
beyond,
I
say
with
some
of
them,
and
a
few
of
the
projects
were
project
management
too.
So
it
wasn't
only
writing
a
paper
and
presenting,
but
they
had
to
organize
our
whole
chapter
throughout
the
project
before
they
had
a
chance
to
start
writing
and
writing
on
their
presentation.
O
O
This
is
my
15th
year
at
bethel,
and
this
is
the
most
success
at
the
state
and
national
or
international
level
that
we've
had
and
especially
considering.
I
think
we
took
about
57
students
to
states.
I
think
it
was
34
of
them
placed
the
top
six
and
qualified
for
internationals,
and
then
we
took
a
group
of
34
to
internationals
and
then
everybody
here
today
was
a
finalist
which
that
means
you
placed
in
the
top
20..
There
was
17
000
students,
I
believe
across
all
events.
There
was
they
were
competing
against
the
200
other
groups.
O
We
have
all
the
groups
here
today
we're
in
the
top
20,
and
then
we
have
two
groups
represented
today,
also
that
were
in
the
top
10..
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
students
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
it.
We
have
at
least
one
person
from
each
group.
We
had
four
groups
comprised
of
nine
students,
so
we
have
at
least
one
from
each
group,
so
they'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
their
project
and
what
they've
gotten
out
of
deca
and
I'm
going
to
start
with
our
two
seniors.
O
P
I'm
sadie
fedor
and,
as
she
said,
I'm
a
senior
this
year
and
I
was
also
one
of
the
co-presidents
of
our
deca
chapter
for
this
past
school
year.
My
partner,
anastasia
and
I
placed
sixth
place
in
a
sales
project
event.
Our
sales
project
was
about
fundraising
for
our
deca
chapter
as
co-president
we
noticed
there
was
like
not
a
lot
of
participation
interest
this
year
and
we
figured
out.
The
main
reason
was
the
like
money
that
goes
into
participating
in
deca
events.
P
This
includes
the
school
activity
fee,
the
deca
membership
fee,
that's
an
international
membership
fee,
as
well
as
the
cost
to
participate
in
states
in
hershey,
which
is
around
300
to
400
per
student
to
go
to
atlanta.
It
took
a
little
over
a
thousand
for
each
student,
so
this
combined
was
around
eighteen
hundred
dollars
per
student
if
they
wanted
to
like
participate
in
all
the
competitions
and
advance
their
learning,
so
we
decided
to
introduce
a
new
product
mix
of
fundraisers
for
this
school
year.
P
These
were
all
in
collaboration
with
some
local
businesses
like
pittsburgh,
popcorn,
that's
wrapped
pepperoni
rolls
and
sarah's
candies
and
in
total,
over
all
of
our
sales.
We
fundraised
around
seven
thousand
dollars
in
fundraise
money
for
our
deca
chapter
that
got
us
to
place
in
sixth
endeca
and
the
whole
has
really
helped
me.
It
helped
me
decide
my
career
path.
I
want
to
go
into
marketing,
I'm
going
to
pursue
that
in
the
fall
at
the
university
of
south
florida
and
it's
just
really
helping
with
public
speaking.
P
Q
Yeah,
I'm
anastasia
antonucci,
so
sadie
really
kind
of
covered
a
lot
about
our
project.
But
a
big
thing
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
how
mrs
muller
mentioned
that
57
of
our
students
went
to
pennsylvania
states
and
then
31
qualified
to
go
to
atlanta.
Every
single
one
of
them
had
to
use
our
fundraising
promotional
mix.
Q
J
All
right,
my
name
is
mia
kakanya,
I'm
natalie
engel
and
we're
juniors,
and
we
competed
in
the
hospitality
and
tourism
operations,
research
event
which
we
did
on
kelly's
very
delay,
which
is
an
ice
cream
shop,
pretty
local.
It's
on
brown
road.
I
worked
there,
so
it
was
an
easy
place
for
me
to
pick
so.
This
year's
topic
for
this
event,
was
how
to
boost
employee
engagement
and
morale.
So
we
did
a
lot
with
our
employees.
We
found
out.
J
We
used
our
research
methods
to
make
some
conclusions,
so
we
sent
out
an
online
survey
to
the
employees.
We
did
some
secondary
research
as
well
as
a
focus
group
that
we
conducted
in
our
high
school,
and
we
just
used
all
this
information
to
like
make
plans
for
the
future
for
kelly's
on
how
we
can
boost
the
employee,
morale
and
make
people
want
to
stay
there
and
continue
working
there,
especially
with
coven
from
deca.
I've
learned
so
much
miss
fuller
is
an
amazing
run.
She
runs
it
so
well
I've
gone
to
experience
so
many
things.
J
R
Hi,
I'm
olivia
masseri,
I'm
a
junior
this
year
and
my
partner
and
I
addison
hill.
We
conducted
a
community
awareness
project
with
the
adoptive
family
organization
of
south
hills
and
for
this
project.
We
just
wanted
to
gain
awareness
throughout
bethel
park
about
those
in
need
during
the
holiday
season,
who
may
not
be
as
financially
stable
as
others
in
the
community.
R
So
this
year
we
adopted
12
different
families
who
applied
for
this
position
to
get
gifts
donated
to
them
for
christmas
day,
and
we
gained
awareness
around
23,
000
members
all
throughout
bethel
park,
and
there
were
eight
clubs
in
the
high
school
who
were
involved
in
our
project
as
well,
and
this
just
allowed
for
all
the
families
who
may
not
have
christmas
presents
or
cannot
afford
them,
be
able
to
enjoy
their
christmas
together
as
a
family
and
just
share.
Memories,
and
mrs
smuller
really
helped
us
with
this
project.
S
Q
C
K
C
It
is
an
amazing
organization,
you
know
the
kinds
of
things
you
talked
about,
putting
together
a
business
plan,
marketing
plan
being
able
to
make
a
presentation
influence
people.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
skills
that
are
the
path
to
success.
Regardless
of
the
career,
you
choose
so
great
job
and
encourage
anybody
to
be
a
part
of
deca.
L
T
This
month,
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
an
annual
it
used
to
be
an
annual
event
with
a
brief,
coveted
interruption,
but
the
art
art
department
was
brought
back,
the
arts,
fest
and
steam
expo
this
year.
It
was
held
on
may
7th
at
the
high
school
organized
primarily
by
mr
wallish
kent
wallace,
who
is
the
department
chair
for
the
art
department
and
just
truly
for
those
of
you
who
are
able
to
attend
such
an
impressive
event,
the
things
that
our
students
are
creating.
There
were
some
elementary
projects
this
year
that
were
included.
T
The
art
department
had
a
contest
and
selected
posters
that
were
designed
by
the
students,
and
these
were
displayed
in
the
buildings
throughout
the
school
district
and
also
used
mr
cromey
used
them
on
his
social
media
communications,
and
there
were
many
many
submissions.
These
were
just
the
five
that
were
selected.
T
T
T
T
T
And,
like
I
said
it
was
more
than
just
the
art
department,
it
was
truly
an
exceptional
event
and
I
was
just
blown
away
being
relatively
new
to
the
district
at
what
our
students
and
teachers
are
capable
of
and
long
term.
One
of
my
goals
for
the
district
is
that
art
is
infused
in
in
all
of
the
core
subjects,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
mr
wallace
was
including
the
steam
component
as
well,
and
I
want
to
save
the
date
marked
calendar.
T
We
my
my
second
week
here
this
year
we
celebrated
dot
day,
and
this
is
an
annual
celebration
so
mark
your
calendar
september.
15Th
of
2022
will
be
our
second
annual
dot
day
and
you'll.
I
won't
waste
your
time
telling
you
more
about
this
event.
Those
of
you
who
participated.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
business
to
do,
but
we
will
be
the
author
of
the
dot.
Book
also
has
what's
called
a
create
trilogy
and
there
are
three
books,
and
so
we
won't
want
to
beat
that
same
book
to
death
every
year.
U
So
we
had
our
screening
day
on
may
17
2022
at
neil
armstrong,
elementary,
oh
middle
school.
I
apologize
and
we
did
this.
All
five
buildings
came
together
and
we
welcomed
240
rough
families,
roughly
families
into
be
screened.
We
also
held
some
of
our
aiu
english
language
screenings
and
we
had
our
nurses
and
our
speech
teachers
on
hand
to
address
any
questions
and
help
parents
and
families
with
any
inquiries
they
had
about
the
process
of
registration.
U
And
here
we
just
had
some
students,
with
all
of
our
kindergarten
teachers
working
to
see
the
students,
their
alphabet
skills,
their
colors,
their
shapes
their
numbers.
This
was
a
great
opportunity.
I
told
everyone.
I
got
16
000
steps
this
day,
walking
five-year-olds
to
and
from
their
parents,
to
the
screening
where
I
learned
all
kinds
of
fascinating
things,
about
favorite,
colors
and
animals
and
summer
plans,
and
so
they're
all
very
excited,
and
it's
really
refreshing
to
get
back
into
the
buildings
with
the
students.
So
this
is
one
of
my
all-time
favorite
days.
U
I
think
I
held
a
hand
or
talked
to
virtually
every
single
incoming
kindergarten
student,
so
it
was
a
wonderful
day.
We
have
our
orientations
coming
up
on
june
6th.
These
will
be
held
in
the
home
buildings,
and
each
student
will
be
provided
with
a
summer
learning
welcome
to
bethel
park
bag.
It
will
have
a
tag
with
their
name
on
it.
U
U
Every
child
will
receive
a
hard
hard-bound
book,
I'm
a
paper
person,
so
I
love
the
power
of
having
a
book
in
your
hand
that
every
child
can
look
at
to
touch
to
feel
and
the
students
will
also
be
receiving
the
yard
signs.
So
we
will
be
covering
bethel
park
neighborhoods
in
the
orange
yard,
signs
welcoming
them
to
our
bethel
park
school
community.
U
U
L
Well,
thanks
to
mr
crummy,
and
thank
you,
mrs
figlioli
and
mrs
wells
for
your
updates.
I
only
have
one
last
piece
from
my
part
of
the
agenda.
That
is
the
board
received
at
your
places
this
evening
of
a
second
installment
in
my
regular
monthly
series
of
updates
on
our
strategic
plan.
This
one
refers
to
the
sixth
goal
of
the
strategic
plan,
the
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
committee's
goals,
and
it's
an
update
on
where
things
are
with
all
of
those
efforts.
L
The
first
goal
spoke
to
administrative
training
and
capacity
building
for
staff
on
supporting
students,
feelings
of
connect,
respect
and
value.
Some
things
accomplished
there,
and
some
things
in
the
works
probably
have
a
lot
of
that
accomplished.
Certainly
before
the
start
of
the
the
next
school
year.
The
second
goal
listed
there
is
the
students
feelings
of
connected
respect
and
and
value
through
their
activity,
participation
through
their
a
selection,
of
course,
rigorous
courses
and
their
participation
in
extracurricular
programs
and
clubs
and
the
last
goal.
L
It
would
be
professional
development
for
students,
staff
administrators
and
some
tools
that
the
faculty
can
use
also
when
reviewing
curriculum
materials
as
well.
So
it's
been
a
a
pr
that
was
a
productive
committee.
I
appreciate
the
support
of
all
the
committee
members
that
that
served
over
the
past
year
that
that
task
force
accomplished
a
lot
and
we
appreciate
them
handing
this
all
over
now
to
our
principals
building
administrators
to
carry
that
torch
forward
and
making
sure
all
students
are
connected,
respected
and
valued
in
bethel
park.
L
V
V

M

When
staff
are
trained
in
the
effects
of
trauma,
they
are
better
equipped
to
understand.
Students
behaviors
trauma
changes.
The
wiring
in
the
brain
students
have
difficulty
concentrating
they
don't
focus,
they
can
be
hypersomatic
over
emphasizing
the
slightest
illness,
they
can
be
paranoid
about
possibilities
of
danger
and
they
can
appear.
Angry
uncooperative,
needy
or
clingy
trauma
is
different
for
every
child.
M
M
So
what
are
examples
of
trauma
that
students
in
bethel
park
might
experience
chronic
illness
of
a
parent
death
of
a
parent,
physical
abuse
of
themselves
or
a
family
member?
A
car
accident
violence
in
the
neighborhood,
consistent
bullying,
the
effects
of
trauma
impact.
The
classroom
when,
when
trained
in
trauma-informed
care,
teachers
begin
to
identify
the
reasons
for
classroom
behaviors
in
a
different
lens.
M
M
C
F
C
L
Right
so
the
policy
that
you
have
there
will
direct
the
administration
to
write
regulations
on
trauma-informed
instruction,
having
trauma-trained
teams
in
the
buildings
and
programming
for
those
teams
to
offer
and
provide
for
students.
So
this
policy
actually
directs
us
to
write
regulations
to
implement
all
of
those
requirements,
and
I
think
we
heard
clearly
tonight
about
the
need
for
it.
Given
the
the
the
experiences
that
students
are
having
and
the
level
of
stress
and
anxiety
that
our
students
have
have
expressed
or
shared,
and
so
we're
we're
anxious
to
get
that
moving
here.
B
B
F
C
L
For
sure,
so
it's
the
19
2019,
the
the
department
of
education,
gave
school
districts
the
ability
to
call
for
a
flexible
instruction
day
which,
once
the
pandemic
struck
and
things
moved
remotely.
We
we
learned
had
a
totally
different,
meaning
that
what
was
originally
intended,
pre-pandemic
but
flexible
instruction
days,
would
be
when
we
can't
pick
up
students,
but
we
can
still
have
a
school
day.
L
L
G
T
In
june
of
last
year,
oh
sorry,
in
june
of
last
year,
the
science
curriculum
committee
delivered
a
report
to
the
board
and
k
one
through
four
adopted,
the
smithsonian
science
kits.
These
are
hands-on
kits
based
on
the
next
generation
science
standards,
which
are
very
much
in
line
with
the
standards
that
pennsylvania
is
adopting.
Those
will
become
official
as
of
july
1.,
so
grades
five
and
six
piloted
those
kits
during
this
school
year,
and
they
are
very,
very
happy
with
the
kits
as
well.
T
So
we
will
purchase
these
in
the
same
way
that
we
purchased
the
elementary
kits
meaning
we
purchase
next
year's
and
then
also
two
years
worth
of
vouchers
for
renewing
those
materials.
So
essentially
that
amount
is
for
three
years
of
curriculum
for
grades,
five
and
six,
so
that
would
have
us
grades
one
through
four,
using
the
smithsonian
science
series,
and
I
think
it
puts
us
in
a
really
good
place
to
transition
to
those
new
science
standards.
T
So
those
take
effect
july
1st,
but
our
students
won't
be
assessed
on
those
meaning
on
the
pssa
exam
on
grades,
four
and
eight
and
the
keystone
biology
exam
until
spring
of
2026.
But
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
really
good
place
in
being
prepared
for
that
transition
and
the
teachers
are
well
prepared
as
well.
T
C
C
E
F
W
Sure
we
have
five
items
under
finance
tonight:
number
one
adopt
the
2022-2023
proposed
final
general
fund
operating
budget
number,
two
items
declared
unused
and
unnecessary
number:
three
extension
agreement
with
precision,
hr
solutions,
number
4,
pathfinder
school
administrative
budget,
number
5
approval
of
the
purchase
of
busware.
Does
anyone
want
any
of
these
items
held
out?
F
B
B
E
C
X
X
The
problem,
though,
is
that
this
district
has
been
going
against
this
policy,
even
as
the
policy
was
being
read
and
reviewed.
Specifically,
I
refer
to
an
item
that
indicates
the
drama
informed
approach
plan
will
include,
quote
culturally
responsive
practices
that
focus
on
identifying,
valuing
and
integrating
the
culture's
languages,
heritage
and
experiences
of
all
students
and
staff
to
ensure
support
of
school
climate
and
community.
X
Last
month,
bethel
park
had
an
opportunity
to
get
a
head
start
on
this
by
approving
the
creation
of
a
curriculum
for
the
contributions,
leadership
and
successes
elective
proposed
by
bethel
park
faculty.
Instead
of
allowing
this
curriculum
to
move
forward,
the
idea
was
voted
down
also
towards
the
end
of
the
policy.
It
goes
into
data
collection
specifically
listed
as
the
use
of
a
climate
survey
again
last
month,
the
district
chose
to
undermine
the
road
administration's
ability
to
meet
the
data
collection
requirements
of
their
own
policy.
X
By
refusing
to
allow
the
distribution
of
a
student
climate
survey,
there
is
a
certain
inconsistency
here
between
what
our
school
district
is
saying
and
what
it
is
doing.
The
board
should
address
this
inconsistency
by
holding
another
vote
on
the
contributions,
successes
and
leadership,
elective
and
the
climate
survey
and
approving
both
doing
so
is
the
only
logical
path
forward
since
everyone
here
read
the
policy
at
least
three
times
over
the
past
three
months,
and
everyone
agrees
with
each
of
these
points,
if
they
hadn't
it
would
have
been
voted
to
approve
this
new
policy.
V
V
However,
now
that
you
have
passed
this
plan,
I
feel
the
need
to
call
attention
to
a
couple
things
in
the
trauma-informed
approach:
the
need
to
assess
the
climate
of
the
school
as
mentioned
five
different
times
yet.
One
month
ago,
this
board
voted
down
an
optional
climate
survey,
also
in
the
trauma-informed
approach.
It
explicitly
states
that
the
implementation
of
the
trauma-informed
approach
shall
include-
and
I
quote,
culturally
responsive
practices
that
focus
on
identifying,
valuing
and
take
integrating
the
cultures,
languages,
heritage
and
experiences
of
all
students
and
staff
to
ensure
a
supportive
school
climate
and
community.
V
That
all
being
said,
I
am
asking
this
board
in
light
of
its
vote
today.
Well,
sorry,
I
unmisunderstood
how
it
worked,
but
in
light
of
the
passing
of
this
plan
to
revisit
its
decisions
around
the
climate
survey
and
the
elective
class
contributions,
successes
and
leaders,
this
all
seems
significantly
more
important.
Considering
the
tragedies
that
occurred
in
buffalo
last
week
and
in
texas,
not
even
10
hours
ago,.
Y
Y
Know
my
situation
and
they
know
that
this
is
a
very
important
consideration
to
me.
It's
a
very
important
issue
to
me.
I
didn't
come
here
planning
to
speak.
I
came
here
thinking
maybe
I
would
but
I
listened
to
what
I
could
stomach
of
that
last
month's
hearing
meeting
and
listen
to
the
repeated
references
to
crt
I.
I
would
hope
that
we
know
that's
not
taught
in
grades
kindergarten
through
12.,
so
that
fear-mongering
that
was
used
to
maybe
influence
people.
Y
Y
C
B
L
Sure
I
think
the
the
board
shares
the
grief
of
the
whole
entire
bethel
park
community
at
the
loss
of
a
great
teacher,
great
coach,
a
father
husband,
a
friend
and
his
passing.
Untimely,
passing
and
tragic.
Passing
will
be
really
affect
all
of
us
and
we're
here
tonight
talking
about
trauma
and
trauma-informed
practices,
and
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
put
our
our
practices
into
action
right
now,
because
we're
all
experiencing
that
trauma
of
the
loss
of
an
important
influence
in
our
lives.
L
So
we
send
our
deepest
sympathies
to
the
gentile
family,
his
wife
and
son,
his
relatives
and,
of
course,
the
entire
high
school
faculty,
as
well
as
the
middle
school
faculty.
Who
worked
with
him
for
a
time
as
well.
So
we
will
pause,
I
think,
for
a
moment
of
of
silence
and
his
honor
and
during
the
meeting.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
