Description
Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - Live Broadcast - March 9, 2021
A
We're
all
excited
to
be
here.
That's
great!
Thank
you
so
much
it's
tuesday
march
9th,
and
this
is
the
regular
meeting
of
the
fargo
board
of
education.
So
just
calling
the
meeting
to
order
is
there
a
motion
for
approval
of
the
agenda.
Jim.
A
Opposed
same
sign,
motion
passes.
We
have
a
performance
tonight
from
some
students
from
davies.
The
davies
jazz
trio,
first
live
music,
maybe
that
many
of
us
have
seen
in
a
long
time.
I
know
myself,
I
I
don't
think
I've
been
out
to
see
anything
since,
probably
since
around
march
a
year
ago,
so
ainsley
rentflow
is
you
are
going
to
do.
The
introductions
welcome.
D
D
D
Aiden
huck
is
a
junior
at
davies
on
the
drums.
Owen.
Beller
is
also
a
junior
at
davies
on
guitar
and
they
have
formed
their
own
jazz
trio
and
they
go
and
perform
out
in
in
fargo
and
the
in
the
area.
They
are
called
the
safe
space
jazz
trio,
so
they
are
going
to
be
playing.
Stray
horns.
Take
the
a
train
tonight
and
afterwards
they'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
if
you
have
any
for
them.
D
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
A
A
A
Hold
the
flashlight
up.
That
was
awesome.
You
guys,
oh
man,
oh
man.
I
wish
we
started
a
meeting
like
that
every
every
time.
So
I
don't
know
we
should
have
ended
up
dancing.
I
was
dancing
in
my
seat.
I
know
okay
comments
from
other
from
board
members
comments,
questions
anyone
nikki.
G
H
Yeah
we've
been
playing
for
around
a
year
and
a
half
we
initially
started
to
do
like
a
a
kind
of
teacher
meeting,
benefit
a
benefit.
That's
the
word,
I'm
looking
for,
but
yeah,
mr
brandenburg
put
us
together
and
we
played
for
the
benefit
and
then
we're
like
hey.
This
is
fun.
We
should
do
it
more.
G
I
Oh,
I
can't
help
myself.
Thank
you
guys.
You
have
a
groupie
in
the
audience
he
smelled
jazz
from
across
the
street,
so
so
ashley
or
ainsley
mentioned
you
guys
have
gigs
that
you
have
that
you
go
out
in
your
book,
which
is
part
of
being
a
jazz
musician.
I've
learned
tell
tell
me
about
some
of
the
places
that
you
you
do.
Your
gigs.
J
All
right
so
yeah
after
the
benefit
we
kind
of
just
started
like
talking
to
businesses.
None
of
us
really
had
much
experience.
You
know
getting
jobs
like
approaching
these
business
owners,
it's
kind
of
a
scary
thing,
but
I
think
we
were
so
passionate
about
like
playing
that.
We
really
just
wanted
to
get
out
there
and
do
as
much
as
we
could
and
we
asked
around
and
some
people.
You
know
they
let
us
play.
We
played
at
46
north,
it's
a
restaurant
downtown.
J
J
Yeah
yeah
for
sure
right
right,
we
learned
a
lot
about
that
stuff.
Yeah
negotiating
rates
and
stuff.
K
I
think
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
the
students
and
then,
of
course,
our
teacher
and
our
all
of
our
support
staff
as
well
as
we
talk
about
cargo
public
schools.
15
years
running
has
been
recognized
as
a
national
leader
leading
school
district
with
performance
arts
recognition,
and
this
is
a
prime
example
of
why
so,
I
think
lord
president
knutson
started
the
meeting
right
well.
This
is
probably
the
first
live
music
experience.
K
Many
of
us
have
probably
had
in
almost
a
year
and
just
the
attitude
and
the
environment
in
the
room
talks
about
your
performance
and
and
the
impact
that
music
can
have.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
as
well.
A
L
Well
done
on
the
the
business
part
of
it
as
a
working
musician.
I
would
just
like
to
give
you
a
bit
of
advice.
Never
ever
forget
that
nothing
hurts
your
worth
like
free
work,.
L
A
Do
you
have
any,
do
you
have
any
gigs
lined
up
or
are
you
are
you
waiting
to
build
that
list
now
that
kovitz
kind
of
freed
you
up
a
little
bit.
J
Yeah,
so
we
have
the
go-to,
I
guess
has
been
the
red
river
market
since
it's
pretty
exit
like
accessible,
it's
relatively
safe
because
you
know
most
restaurants
are
kind
of
not
you
know
seeding,
or
at
least
like
really
nice
sit-down
ones
aren't
really
seating
inside
as
much
so
our
best
bet
usually
is
to
play
outside.
If
we
can-
and
that's
just
like
the
most
prominent
opportunity,
I
guess
they
have
a
mark-
a
great
marketing
team
who
are.
N
J
A
Cool,
do
you
have
a
facebook
page
or
I
don't
even
what
would
be
appropriate
for
social
media
for
us
to
be
able
to
find
out?
Maybe
where
you're
performing
down
the
road.
C
Yeah
we
have
an
instagram
at
safe
space
fargo
and
we
play
we
put
clips
on
there
and
we
put
our
setlist
and
where
we're
gonna
be
performing
next.
So.
A
Okay,
I
think
we're
all
just
really
blown
away
and
super
happy
that
see
you
tonight
and
maybe
show
it
on
words,
but
thank
you
so
so
much
for
your
time
and
for
your
dedication
and
best
of
luck
to
you
have
a
great
evening.

A

to
criticize
or
complain
about
a
specific
employee
or

welcome.
Thank
you.
O
O
What
is
said
in
front
of
the
public
and
what
fellow
public
school
does
behind
closed
doors.
It's
always
two
separate
things.
It's
never
what
it
said.
It's
what's
done
behind
closed
doors.
In
my
opinion,
the
scoring
requirement.
It's
a
bias,
it's
a
bias.
You
cannot
sit
here
and
said
you're
looking
to
hire
a
diverse
individual
within
your
school
district,
and
you
have
that
opportunity.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
A
Thank
you,
victoria.
I
I
have
the
feeling
you
might
have
had
more
that
you
wanted
to
share
with
us.
If
you
do
feel
free
to,
you
know,
reach
us
on
email
or
certainly
feel
free.
To
give
me
a
call.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
being
here
on
to
the
reports
section
of
the
agenda.
The
first
item
is
steam,
steam
monitoring,
visual
arts
and
dr
gandhi.
You
are
going
to
be
introducing.
K
Yes
for
our
steam
monitoring
report
of
the
visual
arts,
we
our
high
school
art
teachers
this
year,
they
got
together
at
a
plc
and
they
wanted
to
represent
all
three
schools
and
they
decided
at
their
plc.
The
the
best
way
to
do
it
was
to
put
together
a
board
video
for
the
board
presentation.
F
Hi,
I'm
abby
and
I'm
making
a
fountain
out
of
clay.
This
is
the
sketch
I'm
basing
it
off
of
it's
like
a
three-tier
fountain,
so
it'll
be
three
levels
and
different
sizes
bowls
and
then
I'll
be
filling
the
inside
with
pennies.
So
it's
kind
of
like
a
wish,
fountain
type
thing
and
then
for
the
bowls.
I
hear
these
on
the
wheel
and
I
have
three
different
sizes
of
them
and
then
for
the
the
slabs
that
they're
going
to
be
sitting
on
these
are
built
out
of
slabs
for
the
platforms
and
then
once
everything
is
complete.
P
This
is
my
piece
nighttime
in
new
york.
What
I
did
was
I
overlaid
this
original
piece
outside
of
the
new
york
city
library,
with
a
other
photo
of
mine
from
the
stars,
and
then
with
this
piece
I
did
a
mock
product
shoot
and
I
used
this
light
box
and
it
took
about
two
days,
and
so
I
just
did
a
photo
shoot
like
you
would
on
a
website.
E
R
S
So
this
is
my
mixed
media
sketchbook,
and
this
page
is
best
to
kind
of
show
the
way
people
are
divided
into
two
not
really
ever
coming
together,
because
you
can
see
light
is
to
the
bad
guy
to
the
darkness.
But
then
darkness
is
the
bad
guy
to
the
light,
there's
no
right
or
wrong
answer.
People
are
always.
S
T
I
figured
out
the
idea
of
this
design
and
the
medium
I
used
was
screen
printing.
T
So
I
went
into
a
dark
room
and
used
emulsion
and
put
that
on
a
silk
screen
and
the
next
day
I
came
back
and
I
printed
a
clear
photo
of
my
design
and
burned
it
onto
the
screen
and
then
rinsed
that
out
and
then
I
went
in
with
the
ink
and
I
used
two
different
screens
for
the
butterfly
and
the
body
and
yeah
after
that.
I
just
cleaned
it.
M
U
U
V

W

Y
AA
AB
AB
K
They
decided
to
put
together
a
video
today
as
a
part
of
the
surgery
plan
results
report
just
so
they
felt
that
they
can
highlight
a
wide
variety
of
different
mediums
and
actually
showcase
some
student
work
in
a
broader
lens,
and
obviously
we
know
that
the
art
departments
throughout
the
district
at
all
levels
have
been
contributing
to
some
of
the
decor
that
we
have
in
the
district
office,
including
this
boardroom
as
well.
K
But
the
our
teachers
felt
like
today
with
some
of
them
having
some
schedule,
conflicts
and
some
other
things
that
putting
together
a
video
was
great
and
we
are
so
open
to
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
But
I
think
they
wanted
to
express
their
gratitude
for
the
wide
support
that
we
have
in
our
district
from
the
board
does
for
the
visual
arts
programs
in
our
district.
A
Anyone
have
comments,
I'm
just
kind
of
blown
away,
because
it's
all
so
beautiful
and
then
I
felt
like
I
was
right
in
the
room
with
the
with
the
screen
being
right
here.
Oh
there's
so
much
talent.
I
hope
when
we
get
to
our
new
space,
our
new
district
office,
that
we
are
able
to
incorporate
art
into
our
space.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
right.
We
do
have
a
report
coming
up,
missy,
idness
and
jennifer
starr
ukeru.
I
see
we
even
have
the
pronunciation
here
guideline
for
us
on
the
handout.
So
thank
you.
Welcome
look
forward
to
learning.
AC
AD
All
right
well,
thank
you.
I'm
jen
tsar,
I'm
the
mtss
coordinator
for
the
district
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
back
with
you
again
tonight,
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
some
time
to
share
the
results
of
our
pilot
and
how
we're
moving
into
our
first
year
of
implementation
across
the
district
with
ucaru.
AD
So,
yes,
the
very
first
thing
that
we
always
try
to
talk
about
is
how
do
you
say
this
word
right,
and
so
the
emphasis
really
is
on
care
with
a
double
o
on
either
side
of
it.
AD
So
what
is
ukiru
and
that's?
As
it's
been
mentioned,
it
is
a
trauma-informed
approach
and,
as
you
know,
in
the
last
handful
of
years,
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
that
trauma-informed
practice
in
our
in
our
school
buildings,
with
our
students
among
our
staff
members,
keeping
in
mind
that
when
we
talk
about
trauma
very
often
we
as
as
human
beings,
we
start
to
think
about
what
we
sometimes
refer
to
as
the
big
t,
traumas,
so
sexual
abuse,
physical
abuse
neglect.
AD
Those
are
often
the
first
types
of
trauma
that
come
into
our
head
when
we
hear
that
term,
but
there
are
also
there's
a
great
deal
of
research
around
kind
of
those
small
t,
traumas
things
like
homelessness,
hunger,
anxiety,
depression
and
the
loss
of
somebody
who
might
be
near
to
us.
So
again,
those
are
all
traumas
that
affect
us
and
the
more
that
we
even
have
those
small
t.
Traumas
that
happen,
subsequently
the
greater
the
impact
that
it
is
on
any
of
us
from
children
to
adults.
AD
AD
System
we're
very
much
focused
on
childhood
trauma,
and
what
we
know
is
that
kids,
who
experience
trauma,
big
t
or
little
t
traumas
or
their
over
their
childhood
years,
they
can
have
some.
You
know
for
years
after
that
effects
related
to
their
educational
outcomes
and
behavioral
outcomes,
and
some
of
the
most
recent
research
indicates
that
kids,
who
have
had
experienced
childhood
trauma
are
15
times
more
likely
to
commit
suicide.
AD
AD
So
going
back
to
what
ocaro
is.
It
is
a
trauma-informed
approach.
It's
also
a
restraint,
free
management
technique
and
it's
built
on
the
the
idea
that
educational
and
behavioral
interventions
really
focus
on
comfort
versus
control
and
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
is.
AD
When
we
look
at
the
the
pyramid
on
the
left,
you
likely
recognize
that
as
as
nasal's
hierarchy
of
need
and
those
basic
needs
are
at
the
bottom
thinking
about
the
physiological
needs
to
be
fed
to
have
water
to
have
shelter
as
well
as
safety
needs.
And
again,
when
we
talk
about
those
safety
needs,
it's
not
just
about
physically
being
safe,
but
it's
also
our
perception
that
psychological
sense
of
safety
and
that's
different
for
all
of
us,
depending
on
the
experiences
that
we've
had.
AD
AD
It
is
natural
for
the
brain
to
develop,
develop
from
the
hindbrain
to
the
midbrain
and
then
finally,
that
forebrain,
which
is
the
the
last
portion
to
develop
as
educators
school
systems
we
want
to
spend.
We
want
our
kids
to
be
able
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
that
forebrain
at
that
red
portion,
in
that
abstract
thought
problem,
solving
memory,
language,
but
any
time
something
gets
in
the
way
in
the
hindbrain
or
the
midbrain.
AD
Kids
can't
access
that
forebrain
so
that
learning
that
important
part
of
learning
also
gets
interrupted,
and
what
we
know
about
is
in
the
midbrain,
that's
where
the
amygdala
lives
and
if
you've
ever
heard
of
fight
flight
or
freeze,
that's
what
that's
the
job
of
the
amygdala
is
to
help
keep
a
person
safe
by
either
fleeing
a
situation,
kind
of
fighting
for
survival
and
then,
unfortunately,
sometimes
freezing
as
well.
AD
So
as
we
think
about
pairing,
our
safety
needs
and
our
physiological
needs
also
thinking
about
how
the
brain
develops.
Our
number
one
job,
when
we're
working
with
kids
and
really
focused
on
a
trauma-informed
practice,
is
to
keep
the
amygdala
calm.
And
so
what
can
we
do?
How
can
we
respond
to
students?
AD
AD
How
can
you
shift
what
you
may
have
otherwise
said
like
okay,
calm
down
or
take
a
deep
breath
to
something
like
tell
me
how
I
can
help
you,
I'm
here,
to
keep
you
safe
so
again,
thinking
about
how
we
shift
the
way
that
we
talk
to
students,
especially
as
their
amygdala,
is
starting
to
fire.
How
can
we
respond?
The
other
thing
we
talk
about
is
sometimes
it's
better,
not
to
respond.
Sometimes
less
talking
is
more
important
in
that
time.
AD
Typically,
the
people
who
we
allow
into
our
intimate
or
personal
zones
are
those
people
with
whom
we
have
the
strongest
relationships
with
and
so
again
much
of
the
training
that
trauma
informed
practice
is
talking
about
what
kinds
of
things
can
we
do?
How
can
we
interact
with
students
to
develop
those
relationships
so
that,
even
if
it
turns
into
an
escalated
state,
we
can
continue
to
to
develop
relationship
even
in
an
escalated
time?
AD
AD
AD
We
maybe,
as
the
adults,
don't
notice,
the
warning
signs
or
a
student
can
just
be
having
an
episode
that
that
we
weren't
able
to
prepare
for,
and
so
then
we
do
need
to
move
into
into
those
protective
skills,
and
so
very
often
what
we
hear
about
is
people
associate
ukeru
with
the
use
of
the
shields
that
we're
going
to
talk
about,
and
it's
a
very
important
part
of
it.
AD
However,
it's
not
the
only
part
of
it,
and
so
again,
okiew
is
about
receiving
and
responding
to
the
communication
that
that
a
child
is
displaying
through
their
actions.
While
we
maintain
safety
for
safety,
for
the
student
safety,
for
the
the
surrounding
students
and
safety
for
the
adults
as
well,
and
so
here
uses
this
soft
cushioning
material,
and
you
can
see
some
of
those
examples
there,
generally
speaking,
what
we're
primarily
using
is
what's
the
medium
body
shield,
so
you
can
see
there
are
two
curved
ones
in
the
back.
AD
So
just
a
comparison,
we
are
we're
very
pleased
with
with
the
results
that
we're
getting
so
far
from
our
pilot
and
then
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
this
year
in
the
schools
that
have
implemented
ukero.
But
a
couple
of
things
to
note.
Sometimes
when
we
start
using
the
care,
especially
early
on
an
incident,
can
last
longer
and
we
we
know
that-
and
we
have
to
just
prepare
for
that.
But
what
it
allows
us
to
do
is
to
not
have
a
student's,
amygdala,
completely
fire.
AD
AD
We
piloted
ukeru
in
three
of
our
buildings,
horace
mann,
kennedy
and
lewis
and
clark.
Last
year
we
had
the
the
deans
from
each
of
those
three
buildings
trained,
as
well
as
a
couple
of
additional
folks
that
were
also
trained
as
trainers,
and
so
we
we
implemented
initially
in
december
of
last
year
and
then
due
to
covet,
we
wrapped
up
for
the
year
in
march
of
2020,
so
we
just
had
had
a
few
years.
AD
AD
The
other
piece
that
we
did
is
we
spent
some
time
talking
with
the
staff
members
who
were
trained
and
who
had
been
there
the
previous
year
as
well,
and
just
to
get
a
an
understanding
for
how
were
they
feeling
about
it
and
and
the
the
information
that
they
were
providing
included.
Things
like
everything
is
calmer.
I
feel
like.
I
know
what
I'm
supposed
to
do.
I
don't
feel
so
anxious,
as
the
adult
I
feel
like.
AD
My
amygdala
is
also
staying
calmer,
so
I
can
think
through
what
I'm
supposed
to
be
doing
with
that
reduction
in
restraint
and
just
the
feedback
that
we
were
receiving.
We
knew
we
needed
to
keep
keep
moving
forward,
and
so
in
august,
on
the
in
the
august
2020
column,
you
can
see
we
trained
the
deans
at
each
of
the
schoolings
without
the
asterisk.
AD
Those
were
the
locations
where
we
were.
We
were
going
to
be
having
deans,
and
so
we
trained
them
all
as
trainers
so
that
they
could
be
at
their
buildings.
They
could
serve
as
coaches.
They
could
also,
you
know,
provide
any
training
if
they
had
staff
turnover
helped
to
problem
solve.
If
there
was
a
particular
situation
that
was
problematic,
they
would
have
somebody
who
was
trained
as
a
trainer
to
help
navigate
that
process.
AD
We
also
provided
training
for
madison,
washington
and
they're
just
asterisked,
because
they
don't
have
a
trainer
in
their
buildings,
so
they
they
become
a
little
bit
more
dependent
on
a
trainer
from
another
building
or
within
the
district.
To
help
support
them,
and
and
do
some
of
that
coaching
and
then
in
response
this
year
to
just
various
needs
that
kind
of
bubbled
up.
AD
We
also
have
a
team
of
users
trained
at
davies,
north
mckinley,
and
then
there's
been
a
lot
of
staff
turnover
this
year
so
trying
to
keep
up
on
on
the
paraprofessionals
specifically,
that
may
have
been
originally
trained
as
part
of
their
building
team
that
left
for
whatever
the
reason
might
be,
and
somebody
was
hired
trying
to
keep
up
on
on
that
training
as
well
and
I
neglected
to
mention,
we
did
train
those
those
deans
at
each
of
those
buildings.
But
then
each
of
those
buildings
also
has
a
team.
AD
So
we
did
want
to
take
a
look
at
the
data.
As
I
mentioned,
grafton
integrated
health
systems,
their
focus
really
is
on
reducing
staff,
injury
and
reducing
restraints,
and
so
those
are
the
two
main
items
that
we
have
continued
to
look
at
as
well.
Also,
recognizing
this
thing
called
covet
makes
it
really
difficult
to
look
at
look
at
some
of
the
trends
you
know
we
just
have
to
recognize.
AD
It
is
what
it
is
and
and
continue
to
collect
and
analyze
as
we
move
forward,
but
for
the
last
four
years
as
we
look
at
elementary,
only
you
can
see
that
the
number
of
restraints
and
then
obviously
the
2020-2021
school
year
is
just
through
the
end
of
february
that
data
so
from
2018-19.
AD
Prior
to
doing
anything,
we
had
a
reduction
of
restraints
of
not
by
nine
percent,
as
we
moved
into
last
year
again
recognizing
that
school
conclude
in-person
schooling
concluded
for
us
in
mid-march,
but
we
had
a
65
reduction
and
that
was
just
with
our
three
highest
restraint
number
buildings.
AD
I
don't
know
if
I
said
that
right,
but
I
think
you
know
what
I'm
getting
at,
who
were
who
had
implemented
ukiru
in
december,
so
they
had
a
68.1
reduction
from
the
baseline
year
of
2017-18
and
they
then
again
for
2020-21,
as
we
look
at
just
through
february
and
doing
those
comparisons,
a
reduction
of
more
than
70
from
the
previous
school
year
and
then
a
reduction
of
over
85
percent
from
the
baseline
year
of
2017-2018.
AD
So
we'll
continue
to
collect
that
information
as
we
move
throughout
the
the
remainder
of
the
school
year.
But
that's
kind
of
a
snapshot
of
where
we
are
today
in
2020
2021
and
then
that
other
important
piece
of
information
that
that
ucara
really
focuses
on
in
terms
of
reduction
is
staff
injury
and
they
use
the
term
by
client.
Because
they
don't
always,
they
don't
only
provide
training
to
educational
systems.
But
they
also
do
medical
facilities.
So
last
year
we
had
315
injuries.
AD
Staff
injuries
that
were
caused
by
a
student
and
then
in
2020
2021.
At
this
point,
we've
had
a
reduction
of
over
61
percent
of
staff,
injuries
that
were
a
result
of
a
student,
and
then
I
just
took
that
information
and
broke
it
down
by
month.
So
you
could
see
by
month
what
that
looks
like
knowing
that
at
the
elementary
starting
in
january.
AD
AD
So
then,
as
we
just
talk
about
maintaining
and
expanding,
I
think
just
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
the
data
but
then
also
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
of
that
qualitative
piece.
As
we
visit
and
interview
folks
in
the
buildings,
there
is
a
definite
desire
and
need
to
continue
the
work
that
we've
started,
but
it
doesn't
come
without
a
cost
right,
like
anything,
it
doesn't
come
without
a
cost.
We
do
have
to
train
annually,
so
we
currently
have
12
trainers
in
the
district
and
each
of
those
trainers.
AD
It
costs
about
330
dollars,
plus
travel
for
for
each
trainer
that
we
recertify
yearly
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
the
other
piece
is
the
users.
Once
we
have
users
certified,
they
just
need
to
recertify.
So
it
goes
from
a
full
day
trading
with
their
new
to
a
half
day
recertification
for
each
subsequent
year,
and
then
those
shields
that
I
had
mentioned
are
about
a
140
cost
per
shield,
and
we've
have
some
with
puncture
holes
and
some
you
know
artwork.
We
could
have
perhaps
brought
some
of
those
as
well.
AD
They've
been
used
to
to
be
drawn
upon,
but
even
still,
they
maintain
their
integrity
and
continue
to
be
used,
but
we
are
also
talking
about
what
are
our
next
steps
in
terms
of
expanding
the
program
new.
We
are
looking
at
continuing
to
put
to
train
new
trainers
so
that
we
do
have
somebody
who's
considered
a
trainer
at
each
of
our
locations
and
again
for
the
coaching
for
the
problem
solving
to
support
any
new
staff
that
might
be
joining
a
team.
AD
Mid-Year
is
just
critical
and
then
as
well
each
year,
just
reevaluating
the
need
we.
We
are
looking
at
small
teams
of
buildings,
so
it's
not
an
entire
building
that
we're
training
on
on
the
full
full
day
training.
I
guess
I
keep
saying
it,
but
we,
it
really
is
about
a
small
group
of
people
that
respond
to
an
escalated
situation
and
that's
who
should
be
receiving
the
full
day.
AD
The
half
day,
training
option
is
available
to
everyone
and
that's
where
the
heart
of
of
the
trauma
informed
practices
really
is
and
why
it's
so
critical
and
really
why
it's
working
so
well,
because
we
have
built
upon
the
previous
years
of
trauma-informed
practices
that
have
been
previously
established.
So
it's
not.
AD
You
know
it's
not
a
cheap
expense
by
any
means,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
know
that
it
is
about
building
trust
and
we
know
that
trust
comes
from
healthy
relationships
from
between
students
and
adults
because
it
like
dr
bruce
perry,
says
it's
people,
not
programs,
but
the
people
who
change
people
and
that's
really
what
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
changes
occur
and
excited
about
what's
yet
to
come.
AC
They're
onboarding
new
staff,
new
paraprofessionals,
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
do
it
at
our
building
and
we
are
going
to
do
it
in
a
very
caring
way
and
we
are
going
to
make
sure
you
feel
confident
so
empowered
to
be
one
of
the
words
that
were
seen
in
staff
and
again
when
a
staff
member
can
stay
calm
and
talk
to
a
student
and
tell
you
I
care
for
you
we're
going
to
get
through
this,
even
if
it
takes
longer.
We
find
that
there's
such
a
benefit
as
we
go
forward.
AC
We
might
still
need
to
make
sure
people
know
how
to
do
that
correctly
if
it
would
be
needed
to
protect
a
child
from
themselves
as
we
go
forward.
But
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
provide
that
opportunity
to
keep
going
down
this
path,
because
we
do
think
it
is
a
much
more
positive
interactions
and
relationships
as
we're
working
with
children.
K
I
think
jen
and
missy
have
done
a
wonderful
job,
with
not
only
the
implementation
of
program,
but
even
demonstrating
the
success
of
our
ok
root
program
in
our
district
and
the
data.
Today,
at
yesterday's
board
work
session,
we
had
extensive
conversations
around
district
finances
and
priorities.
K
We
know
that
not
only
did
the
program
have
an
expense,
but
last
year,
and
even
the
year
before,
when
administration
had
brought
a
model
to
to
provide
additional
support
at
our
elementary
schools,
with
with
the
dean
program
that
was
questioned
and
rightfully
so,
but
we
would
not
have
been
able
to
utilize
a
train
to
train
program
unless
we
were
able
to
put
in
the
people
to
support
our
staff
and
create
ukraine
teams
at
each
of
our
buildings
had
had
that
not
had
the
board
not
approved
that.
K
So
just
know
that
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
without
a
doubt,
the
biggest
challenges
facing
our
district
were
employee
safety
and
they
were
student
restraints
from
the
student
side
or
for
the
staff
side,
and
I
think
all
of
the
board
was
familiar
to
that
conversation.
It
was
something
our
district
was
known
for
in
two
years,
we've
reduced
both
numbers
by
over
65
percent,
and
we've
been
able
to
do
that
because
of
the
support
that
the
board
gave
in
hiring
those
elementary
deans
and
implementing
the
camera
program
as
well.
K
So
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
for
that
and
kind
of
reflect
on
systemically
how
far
we've
come,
not
that
we
don't
have
where
there's
plenty
of
room
for
us
to
grow
as
well,
but
a
65
decrease
in
both
staff
injuries
and
then
also
restraints
over
time
is
just
pretty
significant
in
a
two-year
period.
I
AD
You
know,
I
don't
know
that
it's
very
broadly
different.
I
think
it
expands
the
toolkit
so
and
we
we're
not
saying
to
not
use
the
cpid
escalation
that
that's
still
we
if
you've
been
trained
and
those
are
those
are
strategies
that
you're
comfortable
with
we
encourage
educators
to
continue
using
them
it
just.
It
allows
us
to
think
more
systemically
about
the
environment,
about
the
interaction
you
know,
even
ourselves,
as
the
adult
who's
responding
like.
Where
am
I
at
right
now?
Am
I
the
right
person
to
be
responding?
AD
Am
I
in
a
position
that
that
is
going
to
support
the
situation
and
not
maybe
hinder
it
further,
so
again,
just
trying
to
think
more
holistically
about
the
the
totality
of
the
current
situation
and
cpi
de-escalation
strategies
are
also
still
encouraged
to
be
used.
Dr
gandhi,.
K
And
jen
I
see
mr
cody
walked
in
as
well,
and
I
heard
you
say
that
we
have
started
to
expand
our
program
at
davies
as
well.
Are
we
seeing
similar
successes
with
even
an
older
group
of
students
that
might
physically
be
larger
than
that?
We
were
at
the
elementary
level,
even
if
it's
anecdotal
data
at
this
point.
AD
We
are
yeah
and
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
provide
specific
information
to
the
building,
but
it's
important
to
remember
that
that
these
strategies
again
were
developed
working
with
adults,
so
they
were
first
developed
for
adult
use
and
then
curtailed
and
and
modified
in
order
to
work
with
people
who
are
smaller.
So
the
the
initial
development
of
it
was
for
larger,
taller,
kids
and
people
jennifer.
AE
Thank
you
jennifer,
so
my
question
is
related
to
how
does
this
compare
or
is
it
combined
with
envoy
training?
Is
the
district
still
doing
that
as
well,
and
it's
a.
AD
Nice,
marriage
between
them,
actually
because
one
of
the
gems
of
envoy
really
is
that
non-verbal
piece,
and
so
we
know
that
when,
when
kids
are
well,
not
even
just
kids
right,
even
as
adults,
when
we're
feeling
frustrated
the
last
thing
they
want
is
somebody
putting
a
lot
of
words
on
us,
and
so
it's
a
beautiful
marriage.
In
that
regard,
that
you
can.
You
can
provide
a
lot
of
direction
and
information
if
you're,
using
those
nonverbal
strategies
that
envoy
really
implores.
D
AD
D
N
I
AC
And
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
we
are
not
across
the
board
doing
envoy
buildings
were
allowed
to
select,
but
that
is
the
wondering
that
we're
bringing
back
to
the
principles.
What
is
the
consistent
model
for
our
classroom
management
that
we
want
to
have,
and
I
will
we
are
right
now
having
conversations
around
that
envoy
training.
We
also
believe
that
envoy
has
some
pieces
that
really
support
equity
in
classrooms,
and
so
that
is
a
really
nice
marriage.
On
top
of
the
trauma
informed,
that
is
we're
going
forward
planning.
A
Any
other
questions
comments,
hopefully
we're
on
the
right
path
right
or
for
improvement,
always
room
to
to
improve
and
and
learn
and
and
do
things
better.
So
thank
you
for
the
information
and-
and
some
clearly
like
you
said
if
we,
if
we
weren't
in
the
face
of
covid
well
we'd,
had
have
different
data
to
look
at.
But
thank
you
for
the
information
that
we
do
have
and
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
it's
a
wonderfully
informed
presentation.
A
Makes
sense
so
we
have
a
full
year
to
look
at
it
yep
all
right.
The
next
report
is
the
coven
19
instructional
plan
update
dr
gandhi
and
dr
newman.
AF
Sure,
thank
you.
I
gave
you
guys
a
born
report
here.
I'm
happy
to
report.
We
started
at
7.
00
am
instead
of
6
30
a.m,
and
it
was
short
and
sweet,
so
things
are
are
going
well.
We
started
as
usual,
with
our
epidemiologist
brenton
reporting
out
our
cass
county
data,
positivity
rate
hospitalization
rate
and
mortality
rate
are
all
down
for
cass
county.
Our
new
positives
per
day,
when
looking
at
a
14
day,
rolling
average
is
16.79
cases
per
day.
AF
Currently,
we
have
vaccinated
20.1
percent
of
north
dakota
residents
and
18.8
percent
of
cass
county
with
at
least
one
dose
and
brenton
reported.
He
thinks
that
number's
even
higher
due
to
people
being
vaccinated
at
the
va
and
that's
not
being
recorded
in
these
numbers
and
people
who
are
snowboarding
and
being
vaccinated
elsewhere,
so
probably
even
higher
than
those
percentages
and
currently
statewide.
We
are
in
priority
group
1b
at
the
very
last
year
and
some
people
are
even
at
1c
and
then
we
provided
the
fps
staff
data.
I
probably
won't
run
through
all
this.
AF
It's
there
visually
for
you
guys,
but
three
staff
members
tested
positive
this
week
and
five
were
out
due
to
a
positive
test.
The
breakdown
is
there
the
substitute
fill
rate
again,
it's
nice
to
compare
from
compared
to
a
year
ago,
at
2020
versus
now.
If
you
look
at
total
teachers
this
time
last
year
we
were
at
19.75
percent
and
we
are
currently
at
11.79
percent.
AF
Paraeducators
continue
to
be
a
struggle.
Last
year
was
66.55
and
we're
currently
at
71.23
and
the
totals
are
there,
but
I
think
overall,
we're
improved
in
this
area
and
then
looking
at
student
student
data
as
of
9
pm
on
sunday
night,
there
was
seven
students
in
isolation
due
to
a
positive
test.
The
breakdown
by
age.
Is
there
all
less
than
one
percent
student
close
contacts?
We
was
down,
we
had
a
total
of
115
and
again.
K
One
thing
that
I
would
just
add,
as
I
know,
that
as
our
community
and
our
school
districts
begins
the
vaccination
process.
There's
just
been
a
lot
of
conversations
because
of
including
my
own
excitement
to
return
to
some
sort
of
normalcy
and
questions
around
masking
as
well,
and
it
almost
feels
like
we've
become
we've
gone
full
circle
from
the
start
of
the
school
year,
because
I
think
we
need
to
remind
all
of
our
stakeholders
as
well
that
one
of
the
biggest
implications
around
masking
is
around
the
mass
close
contacts
versus
non.
K
so
masking
until
we
receive
any
other
guidance
from
fargo
cass
public
health,
or
there
are
significant
changes
in
and
what
the
school
directions
have
been
given
from
both
the
state
and
local
healthcare
official
levels.
We
they're
here
to
stay
at
least
for
the
time
being,
until
we're
told
the
device.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
item
is
a
report
from
the
fea.
I
don't
see
anyone
in
the
audience
here
from
the
fea,
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
superintendent
report.
I
That's
okay.
I've
done
it
too.
I've
been
in
your
chair
from
the
federal
level.
I'm
sure
you
all
know
that
the
1.9
trillion
dollar
code
release
package
is
going
through
the
the
legislative
process
there's
included
in
that
is
120
billion
for
direct
aid
for
k-12
education,
with
special
earmarks
for
dollars
to
be
directed
towards
to
students
with
disabilities
and
also
there's
a
mandate
for
transparent
school
reopening
plans.
I
There
also
there's
also
federally
some
movement
on
a
bipartisan
investigation
into
the
impact
of
school
closures
on
children
with
disabilities,
so
everybody
is
certainly
wanting
to
get
back
to
school,
and
I
think
that
that
was
something
that
was
talked
about
yesterday
nicely
in
our
our
work
session.
I
did
provide
each
of
you
with
a
calendar,
a
monthly
planning
calendar
if
it
was
passed
around
for
for
our
governmental
affairs
committee.
I
This
follows
what
we've
been
doing
for
years
in
december.
I
think
what
might
be
of
interest
is
the
first
arrow
seek
for
direction
about
advocacy
and
discuss
decisions
between
meetings,
and
that
became
a
discussion
point.
I
hope
you
find
this
helpful
it's
it's.
This
jolin
makes
the
agendas
based
upon
this
and
it
seems
to
be
serving
our
district
very
well.
So
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
on
that
there
was
some
discussion
too
as
to
how
how
best
to
relay
the
boards
holistic
opinion
on
certain
bills.
I
I
Close
171
this
year
there
were
100
bills,
fewer
in
this
in
the
state
legislature,
in
fargo
public.
We
have
102
on
our
bill
tracking
sheet.
We
have
I'm
sure
they're
included
into
that
171,
but
these
are
more
local.
You
know:
they're
they're,
the
north
school
boards
association
gets
into
some
really
nitty-gritty
for
rural
school
districts.
That,
quite
frankly,
I
cannot
humanly
manage
on
top
of
my
full-time
job,
running
a
multi-million
dollar
nonprofit.
I
So
so
we
are
keeping
an
eye
on
102
bills.
36
of
them
have
been
defeated
or
withdrawn
since
crossover,
so
we
do
have
a
bill
tracking
list
that
jolynne
it's
it's
a
very
tedious
process
to
put
together
it's
our
favorite
thing
to
do
every
year,
but
that
is
always
available
to
anybody
on
on
the
well
anybody
for
that
matter.
We've
on
the
board
here!
I
So
that's
one
of
the
pieces
that
we
look
at
really
the
main
piece,
though,
and
something
that
hit
home
that
rebecca
mentioned
when
we
hear
from
people
saying
why
aren't
you
pushing
this
bill?
Why
aren't
you
doing
that?
It's
really
hard
to
focus
on
a
bill
if
it's
not
going
to
be
heard.
The
next
week,
it's
really
the
only
manageable
way
to
track
those
bills
and
advocate,
except
for
a
few
key
bills.
So
we
pick
out
our
key
bills
there.
I
I
I
A
bill
that
would
have
provided
the
state
auditor
with
unfettered
access
to
school
records,
so
those
are
some
of
those
the
clusters
of
bills
that
have
been
taken
off
the
table,
but
some
of
the
main
ones
that
we're
looking
forward
to
that
we'll
watch
closely.
The
big
one
is
the
funding
bill
house,
bill,
1388
and
that
continues
to
evolve
and
that,
typically,
the
those
big
funding
bills
are
approved
at
the
very
end
of
the
session,
because
they
figure
out
whatever
else
they
have
left
we
get
to
fight
over
in
public
education.
I
2278
a
bill
providing
for
immunity
for
schools
for
code,
related
liability,
there's
some
controversy
on
that,
because
there
are
already
some
pieces
in
in
our
legal
system
that
do
not
allow
for
frivolous
lawsuits.
So
the
lawyers
that
I've
talked
to
think
this
is
an
unnecessary
bill,
but
it
it's
politically
charged
right
now
bill
to
put
transportation
aid
payments
into
the
funding
formula,
we're
watching
that
one
very
closely
and
that
that
that's
a
positive
in
our
mind,
1356
to
mandate
certain
recruiting
groups
exclusive
access
into
schools.
I
did
testify
against
that.
I
It
would
allow
boy
scouts
and
girl
scouts
access
to
our
students
during
the
school
day.
However,
nobody
else
that
will
be
federally
challenged
and,
of
course,
we
all
know
about
2215
the
bill
and
the
sba
worked
on.
That
would
add
a
deadline
of
july
1st
to
the
negotiation
timeline,
so
those
those
last
few
we
mentioned
probably
get
a
little
bit
more
of
my
attention
and
the
other
ones.
We
can
try
to
continue
to
manage
as
they
evolve.
I
I
did
share
with
you
how
quickly
a
bill
changed
that
was
published
in
the
fargo
form
and
that's
that's
an
example.
Actually
that
changed
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
if
not
two
but
things
change
quickly
and
unless
you're
watching
them
almost
throughout
the
day,
it's
really
hard
to
stay
on
top
of
them.
But
I'm
committed
to
do
that,
because
that
is
my
obligation
to
you
being
in
this
position,
but
always
open
to
questions
and
suggestions.
K
No
nothing
in,
in
addition
to
that,
I
mean
administration
is
also
we
work
closely
with
robin,
but
there
are
maybe
some
different
positions
or
different
testimonies
that
we
provide
as
well.
We
we
are
working
with
a
couple
of
different
partnering
agencies
as
well.
We've
partnered
kind
of
with
stanford
help
they've
been
providing
testimony
on
a
bill
coming
up
this
week.
It's
called
the
learn
everywhere
bill.
K
It
provides
students
if
a
district
approves
an
appropriate
policy
and
gets
approved
by
dpi
the
opportunity
for
students
to
receive
credit
for
curriculum
experiences
that
might
be
outside
of
the
physical
school
building.
Stanford
is
very
interested
in
that
bill
because
it
can
assist
with
a
workforce
piece
for
them
through
a
cna
program.
That
would
be
a
meaningful
opportunity,
so
it
would
have
to
get
vetted
through
our
policy
that
we
would
create.
So
we
are
in
support
of
that
bill.
That's
something
that
we're
working
on
our
director
of
equity
and
inclusion.
K
Tamrosman
is
going
to
provide
written
testimony
on
the
transgender
bill
that
would
limit
transgender
athletes
from
participation.
That
goes
against
our
mission
in
fargo
public
schools,
and
what
we
want
to
accomplish
so
she'll
be
providing
testimony
on
that
as
well.
And
then
one
of
our
partnering
agencies,
which
is
path
is
referencing,
is
doing
a
joint
testimony
pretty
much
with
missy
as
well.
K
I
I
I
would
add
to
that:
1429
is
the
transgender
bill
we
I'm
tamara
is
going
to
be.
I
don't
know
if
it's
testimony
or
she's
emailing,
but.
I
Got
it
so
I've
been
contacted
from
several
other
partner
agencies
that
are
interested
in
partnering
with
us
to
to
defeat
that
bill,
the
the
economic
impact,
medical
doctors
and
health
professionals.
So
that's
how
I
decide
when
we
step
back-
and
I
will
tell
you
there
are
times
when
it
is
not
appreciated
when
fargo
is
at
the
podium
all
the
time,
and
there
are
bills
that
are
not
passed,
because
we
have
too
many
fargo
legislators
on
them.
I
So
this
sorry,
this
is
just
the
way
it
is
and
it
depends
on
which
party
is
on
the
bill
and
what
sponsors
are
there,
and
so
we
have
to
use
our
time
effectively
and
wisely
and
also
advocate
for
smaller
school
districts,
but
not
get
in
the
way
of
some
of
the
other
forces
that
might
have
a
stronger
voice
than
we
do,
because
we're
often
there.
AE
Thank
you,
so
thank
you
for
the
handout
and
a
little
bit
of
a
maybe
a
recap
of
what
was
discussed
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
that
yesterday
and
I'm
really
sorry
that
I
couldn't
stay
for
that
last
half
hour.
But
on
that
note
I
just
jotted
down
a
few
things
because
past
practice,
one
of
the
things
that
you
had
mentioned
was
a
listing
of
bills
that
were
tracking
and
that
have
been
withdrawn
or
defeated.
AE
And-
and
I
do
remember
earlier
on
in
my
tenure
on
the
board
getting
that
at
board
meetings.
I
know
that
you
had
mentioned.
We
could
request
it,
but
perhaps
it
could
be
one
way
to
inform
the
board
on
a
more
regular
basis,
specific
bills
I
mean
I
know
sometimes
as
as
chairs
or
liaisons.
We
share
out,
but
it's
hard
to
always
remember
every
single
detail
of
every
committee
meeting.
AE
So
perhaps
that
would
be
helpful
and
I
also
know
that
you
send
emails
and
and
that's
appreciated,
but
but
then
it's
you
know
collectively
here
together
and
you
send
on
the
ones
that
are
kind
of,
like
you
said
coming
up
this
week
right
where
the
list
is
kind
of
a
list
of
102
bills.
AE
And
then
I
guess
I
would
say
previously
also
prior
to
maybe
the
last
year
and
a
half
committee
members
or
non-committee
members
were,
in
my
opinion,
encouraged
and
were
allowed
to
participate.
AE
So
unless
you're
going
to
say
the
committee
feels
this
way,
that's
one
thing.
But
if
you're
going
to
send
something
that
represents
the
full
board.
I
think
that
that's
really,
you
know
or
kind
of
that's
not
entirely
true,
all
the
time
you
know,
and
at
least
being
allowed
to
speak
at
a
committee
as
a
non-committee
member
on
a
bill
would
give
that
everyone
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
so
there's
that
and
then
in
terms
of
just
timeline.
AE
Like
you
said,
there
are
bills
that
are
watched
from
the
very
beginning,
and-
and
I
do
like
the
suggestion
here
or
the
addition-
I
think
it's
an
addition
of
really
sort
of
telling
or
involving
the
board
in
the
conversation
of
who
plans
to
testify
and
what
that
looks
like
versus
hearing
about
it,
maybe
later
or
whatever,
just
to
have
a
more
formalized
opportunity
to
have
that
conversation.
So
just
some
thoughts.
I
Absolutely
a
lot
of
the
times
the
testimonies
I'm
not
aware
of
I
do.
I
don't
coordinate
those
other
than
if
somebody
from
our
district
that
I'm
aware
of
is
going
to
testify
I'll.
Let
you
know
exactly
to
your
point,
so
I
printed
off
the
hard
copies
of
the
legislative
tracker
tracker
that
we
use.
I
I
As
far
as
the
what
I
was
explaining
yesterday
is,
I
take
everybody's
feedback
not
only
during
legislative
session
but
during
non-legislative
sessions,
because
I
probably
work
not
as
often
on
government
affairs,
but
I
work
throughout
the
year
to
build
those
relationships
with
our
legislators
from
both
parties.
This
is
not
just
a
legislative
season.
Piece
work
on
bills
make
trips
to
bismarck
visit
with
our
legislators
individually,
so
this
is
just
kind
of
the
culmination
kind
of
like
come
to
a
board
meeting.
I
We
do
so
much
more
work
behind
the
scenes,
so
I
want
everybody
to
be
aware
of
that
and
I
lost
my
train
of
thought,
but
but
taking
everything
and
I'm
hearing
here
now.
I
remember
I
take
that
forward,
and
so
what
I
did
is
I
removed
from
the
heading
on
our
our
opinion
or
office,
or
you
know
our
position
statements,
even
though
the
board
has
empowered
me
to
do
that.
I
In
my
estimation-
and
it's
now
says-
fargo
public
schools,
government
affairs
committee-
I
don't
and
that's
my
out
of
respect
for
you-
I
may
have
overstepped,
because
that
is
how
I'm
trying
to
interpret
it.
I
still
feel
like
I'm
empowered
by
the
board,
but
that's
really
why
I
wanted
that
discussion
yesterday
so
always
want
your
feedback
and
suggestions.
AE
A
So
some
of
the
there
were
some
folks
that
had
to
leave
early,
and
this
discussion
was
the
last
item
on
our
work
session
yesterday,
by
the
way,
thanks
for
everyone
able
to
all
of
us,
were
at
the
work
session
and
provided
lots
of
great
dialogue
on
many
agenda
items.
A
So
thanks
so
a
few
of
the
things
that
I
think
anne
marie
will
have
reflected
in
in
the
minutes
in
terms
of
some
takeaways
that
I'm
thinking
we
can
look
at
this
is
more
for
next
year
now
for
preparation,
so
that
maybe
we
won't
have
this
same
kind
of
discussion.
We
have
other
discussions
regarding
gac,
but
something
something
else,
and
we
could
refer
maybe
to
this.
A
A
Planner
for
the
governance
committee,
the
approval
of
the
legislative
priorities,
booklet,
which
is
the
booklet
that
is
developed,
really
kind
of
a
combination
between
gac
and
then
also
taking
into
consideration,
thoughts
from
administration,
but
that's
the
booklet
that
really,
at
least
as
far
as
what
I
see-
and
I
think
robin
too
is
what
guides
those
bills
that
we
end
up
really
following
so
potentially
looking
at
an
official
approval
by
the
board
of
that
legislative
priorities
document
and
then
also
possibly
maybe
it
would
be
along
at
that
same
time,
I'm
not
sure,
but
the
opportunity
to
entertain
a
motion
for
approval
that
would
give
gac
or
give
the
gac
chair
authority
to.
A
You
know,
act
kind
of
like
what
is
going
on
right
now,
but
where
we
would
officially
approve
that
and
so
just
looking
at.
Maybe
those
two
steps
helping
us
because
then
and
then
we'd
have
some
discussion.
You
know
around
that.
We
also
talked
about
the
opportunity
for
like
robin
said:
if
anyone
has
a
question
any
board
member
has
a
question,
feel
free
to
just
pick
up
the
phone
and
give
her
a
call.
A
I've
done
that
a
few
times
and
just
said,
hey,
you
know
your
gac
chair,
but
these
are
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
have.
These
are
a
couple
things
I'm
wondering
about.
These
are
some
things
I've
heard
on
this
bill
or
that
bill
kind
of
plant
the
seed
and
take
it
take
it
where
you
feel
like
it
needs
to
go
based
on
again
our
legislative
priorities
and,
and
ultimately
she
has
more
information
than
than
I
do
on
this
she's.
A
I
see
her
really
as
the
expert
in
terms
of
those
of
us
as
board
members.
Here
I
know
jim
you
have
you
have
much
expertise
too,
but
in
terms
of
head
of
gak,
I'm
really
the
expert
that
can
help
guide
us
so
that
I
think
kind
of
wraps
up
our
conversation
from
yesterday,
and
maybe
even
just
some
more
more
discussions
like
we
like
we
had
today,
and
the
updates
that
have
been
provided
will
be
helpful.
A
But
I
have
I
have
trust
in
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
the
faith
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
know
that
it's
not
done
in
isolation.
It's
it's,
it's
not
only
even
gac.
It's
work
with
administration
here
it's
work
with
west
fargo,
and
so
we
are.
We
are
working
in
a
holistic
way
to
do
to
do
this
necessary
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
in
such
a
such
a
timely
manner.
AE
Yes,
so
I
saw
you
taking
notes
as
to
what
we
were
saying,
so
I
just
wanted
actually
to
take
this
opportunity
to
ask
really
about
one
of
the
things
that
I
had
suggested
was
when
non-committee
members
are
not
allowed
to
speak
at
a
committee
or
participate.
AE
Is
that
something
I
mean
I
would
like
to
hear
from
others,
and
I
don't
think
the
new
board
members
were
on
the
board
when
that
change
occurred,
and
so
you
know,
I
find
that
I
kind
of
find
it
problematic
in
in
many
ways,
and-
and
I
don't
know
that
anyone
is
disruptive
and
so
I'm
I
just
feel
like
it.
AE
Maybe
we
should
revisit
it
because,
especially
in
circumstances
like
this,
I
mean,
even
if
it's
in
limited
times,
that
we
really
consider
that,
because,
if
that's
where,
like
robin's
saying
the
heavy
lifting
gets
done,
if
you
want
more
board
participation-
which
I
mean
we're
all
here
to
do
that,
work,
then
why
aren't
we
allowing
that
to
happen?
I
mean
it
can't
be
the
quorum
can't
be
the
reason
because
there's
already
five
on
a
committee.
A
A
K
Sure
two
quick
things
for
my
report
today.
First
off
as
board
members
know,
we
as
a
district
were
notified
greatly
and
surprised
that
fargo
cast
public
health
is
able
to
organize
a
vaccine
blitz
this
week
and
then
do
round
two
of
the
pfizer
vaccine
at
the
end
of
march,
beginning
of
april,
and
for
those
reasons
to
accommodate
our
staff.
We
transition
to
distance
learning
and
we
understand
that
that
has
been
a
challenge
and
that's
difficult
for
many
parents
to
be
able
to
do
that.
K
We
were
notified,
maybe
of
a
wednesday
afternoon,
with
a
potential
communication
going
out
the
following
day
that
there
are
three
days
between
fargo
and
west
fargo
public
schools
to
do
a
vaccine
blitz
the
hours
in
the
location
determined
by
fargo
cast
public
health.
We
as
fargo
public
schools.
We
had
at
that
time.
I
think
close
to
1400
staff
members
that
had
signed
up
to
take
the
vaccine.
K
So
the
only
way
that
we
are
able
to
provide
coverage
or
actually
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
a
loss
for
coverage
and
get
over
a
thousand
staff
members
vaccinated
during
that
time
was
be
able
to
transition
to
distance
learning.
We
were
west
fargo.
Public
schools
actually
worked
with
us,
and
this
was
their
idea,
which
was
great
for
each
school
district
to
split
up
the
day
and
a
half.
K
So
we
only
have
to
go
to
distance
learning
for
two
days
versus
three
days,
so
we
we
are
trying
to
maximize
in-person
instruction
as
much
as
we
can
again.
I
know
it's
difficult,
but
logistically
we're
working
with
our
partners.
We're
excited
about
the
opportunity
that
we
can
vaccinate
all
of
our
staff.
West
fargo
public
schools
is
able
to
transition
to
to
distance
learning
just
for
secondary,
not
for
their
elementary.
K
They
haven't
announced
what
they're
going
to
do
for
round
two
of
that
shot
yet,
but
that
is
that
information
is
forthcoming
as
well.
We
announced
all
four
days
ahead
of
time.
One
of
the
factors
for
them
in
terms
of
being
able
to
why
they're
able
to
do
that
versus
us
is
that
they
did
tell
us
that
they
had
a
significant
amount
of
people,
come
off
their
list
and
less
people
that
needed
to
be
vaccined
because,
as
we
know
that
there's
been
other
opportunities
being
opened
up
around
town
as
well.
K
I
think,
as
of
today,
we,
at
least
through
our
system
we
have
42
of
our
staff,
have
either
been
vaccinated
or
signed
up
to
get
vaccinated.
So
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go.
Yet
we
had,
I
believe,
when
we
first
did
the
initial
survey
we
had
about
65
people,
65
of
our
staff
signed
up,
but
we
had
more
people
that
that
were
interested
and
we
provided
some
education
around
vaccine
as
well.
K
So
we
as
a
district
do
have
a
lot
of
staff
that
have
been
vaccinated,
but
also
a
lot
of
stuff
that
need
to
go
through
that,
so
grateful
for
our
parents
and
our
community
for
understanding
the
flexibility
for
that
distance
learning.
But
that
was
the
only
way
that
we
thought
that
we
can
make
it
work.
Given
our
numbers.
K
Second
announcement
today
is
just
the
best
thing
I
could
ever
do
as
a
superintendent,
which
was
today
and
it's
the
best
day
of
the
job,
because
I
get
announced
a
teacher
of
the
year
this
year
we
did
get
to
today.
We
got
to
recognize
mrs
jessica
magnussen
from
carl
ben
allison
middle
school.
She
is
called
a
literacy
partner
because
she
teaches
but
she's
also
a
literacy
coach
for
other
teachers
in
the
building,
just
an
absolute
educator
jim.
K
She
is
also
a
alumni
of
south
high
school,
which
probably
speaks
to
her
great
successes
as
well,
but
just
something
that
we
truly
recognize
and-
and
just
if
you
get
a
chance,
please
extend
your
congratulations
because
a
very
well
deserved
award
as
teacher
of
the
year.
A
I
I
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
signing
up
for
the
vaccine,
because
I'm
in
one
of
those
classes
and
one
b,
is
child
care
providers
right
prior
to
teachers,
you're
very
limited
as
to
when
you
can
sign
up
for
your
section.
They
give
you
about
10
days
to
sign
up
and
they
give
you
a
list
to
plug
in.
So
I
think
a
lot
of
the
public
doesn't
understand
that
we
are
not
control
of
admin
or
providing
the
vaccines
forecast.
I
Public
health
is,
it
is
not
like
you
can
take
those
vaccines
and
take
them
to
the
schools
and
line
people
up
either.
At
least
that's
what
I've
been
told.
But
that's
what
we're
hearing!
So
it's
it's
much.
It's
pretty
tricky
to
keep
school
operating,
and
I
know
that
from
a
child
care
provider
perspective
with
only
100
employees
and
you've
got
1900.
I
So
I
I
give
you
grace,
and
I
extend
your
grace,
I
think,
is
what
I'm
trying
to
say,
and
I
hope
that
others
do
as
well,
because
it's
it's
so
important
for
to
get
our
teachers
that
want
to
be
and
every
employee
to
get
vaccinated.
Because
that's
what's
going
to
keep
us
in
school
for
the
long
term,
david.
AG
What
I
had
to
say
what
went
along
with
what
robin
said,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
frustration
by
the
public
was
the
fact
that
the
two
days
when
the
vaccinations
are
occurring
are
followed
by
a
full
week
of
spring
break.
Have
we
taken
every
opportunity
to
explain
that
these
were
the
day
we
didn't
choose
the
days?
These
were
the
days
the
vaccine
was
available.
A
Any
other
questions-
and
I
too
ask
for
the
community's
support
in
this.
Hopefully,
it's
a
minor
inconvenience
overall
so
that
we
can
have
have
our
staff
be
safe
in
terms
of
the
opportunities
to
have
healthy
lives,
and
that
is
going
to
impact
the
ability
for
our
students
to
be
safer
and
really,
ultimately,
our
whole
community.
A
It's
a
community
effort
and
as
one
of
the
largest
employers
in
the
city
of
fargo
for
the
fargo
school
district,
it's
essential
that
the
staff
members
have
the
opportunity
and
wonderful,
wonderful
gift
that
the
staff
members
have
the
opportunity
to
receive
this
vaccine.
So
hopefully
that's
it's
taken
full
advantage
of,
and
it's
something
to
celebrate,
realizing
that
there
is
an
inconvenience,
but
ultimately
it's
something
to
celebrate
and
we're
celebrating
the
opportunity
to
be
healthier
as
a
community.
AH
A
N
A
A
L
A
A
K
K
I
think
continuous
improvement
is
part
of
the
process,
so
I
also
appreciate
the
feedback
and
thank
you
very
much
and
always
know
that
we're
here
for
kids
and
we
want
to
grow
so
feedback
that
you
have
don't
ever
feel
like.
You
have
to
leave
it
to
the
twice
a
year
evaluation
as
well.
I'm
always
a
phone
call
away
and
open
to
any
suggestions,
as
always
for
the
kids
for
fargo
public
schools.
A
AH
AG
L
A
L
A
K
I
will
introduce
it
and
ask
mrs
gap
to
10
take
over
as
board
members
know
after
going
through
planning
and
then
subsequently
board
approved
some
renovation,
specifically
in
the
garden
level.
At
the
new
district
office,
formerly
known
as
rdo,
formerly
known
as
western
states,
building
upon
scoping
the
work
and
when
we
went
for
bids
the
bids
came
out
larger.
There
were
two
items
that
just
were
not
that
had
to
be
addressed.
The
building
does
have
some
things
that
they
were
grandfathered
in
before,
or
just
an
older
building,
specifically
around
accessibility
as
well.
K
AI
Yeah,
they
are
kind
of
small.
I
see
now
yeah
we,
you
know
as
you
proceed
through
this
process
and
in
a
building
that
was
constructed
in
different
phases.
You
don't
really
know
what
you
get
into
sometimes
with
renovations.
Until
you
start
opening
things
up
and
really
taking
a
look.
AI
The
other
item
that
came
up
is
to
bring
it
up
to
code
for
fire
sprinkling,
and
that
was
a
significant
item
we
had
to
or
have
to
install
a
larger
metered
valve
and
that's
about
as
technical
as
I
will
get
on
my
own
with
that
information
in
order
to
be
up
to
code
for
splunking
the
building
as
well,
and
then
there
were
some
other
issues
we
found
downstairs.
I
think
as
we're
working
with
the
airflow
and
some
of
the
other
items
that
need
to
be
replaced.
AI
AI
Some
of
that
is
due
I'm
sure
to
timing
the
rest
of
it,
probably
due
to
them
looking
and
seeing
that
this
is
not
a
large
project
for
them
and
discussing
with
the
architect.
The
other
piece
of
this
is
that
they
have
seen
since
the
beginning
of
the
year,
quite
an
increase
in
bids
coming
in
with
material
costs
as
well.
That
are
rising.
AI
A
AI
K
Just
I
do
want
to
provide
some
clarity
on
the
final
recommendation
coming
from
administration
as
well,
when
the
original
project
was
presented
to
planning.
There
were
two
alternatives
that
planning
had
said
to
move
forward
and
the
board
moved
forward
with
those
alternatives
as
well
as
we
did
went
out
for
bid.
It
became
four
alternatives,
but
the
alternatives
that
we're
asking
to
approve
this
project
with
alternative
one
covers
what
was
discussed
at
planning
plus
a
little
bit
more,
and
what
that
little
bit
more
is
at
planning.
K
The
two
alternatives
were
redoing,
the
threads
on
the
stairwell
going
down
to
the
garden
level
and
then
the
restrooms
in
the
garden
level.
This
covers
that
plus
just
redoing
the
threads
for
the
rest
of
the
stairwell,
going
up
the
first
and
second
floor,
because
it's
the
same
quality
or
condition
as
of
now.
AI
AH
AE
You,
okay,
so
thank
you
for
clarifying
because
I
was
sitting
there
wrecking
my
brain.
When
did
we
talk
about
this
planning?
So
thank
you,
but,
as
I
remember
can
you
can
you
help
me
understand?
AE
K
Great
question
that
was,
that
was
the
conversation
we
brought
to
the
planning
meeting.
This
was
the
planning
meeting
that
was
at
the
rdo
location.
Oh,
that
was
the
project
that
we
had
brought
to
the
board
and
we
were.
We
were
very
transparent
that
we
could
move
in
to
the
rdo
building
and
the
boardroom
would
sit,
as
is
the
question
for
the
board
to
debate
was
prior
to
moving
in.
Do
we
want
to
do
the
work
to
to
make
the
boardroom
into
a
long-term
boardroom
that
we
could
use?
K
K
AI
I
would
agree,
unfortunately,
I
don't
know
that
any
of
us
walked
into
the
bathrooms
right
to
verify
or
check
that
they
were
accessible.
This
building
had
been
grandfathered
into
a
lot
of
things
that
we
no
longer
would
qualify
for.
AI
With
that
respect
and
and
the
fire
line
we
just
found
out
of
that
out
of
that
in
beginning
of
february,
I
believe-
and
that
was
an
unknown
item
as
well.
AE
Yeah,
I
would
say
then
I
mean
I
would
be
in
my
opinion.
I
think
that
we
should
not.
We
should
hold
off
on
approving
this
until
you
can
have
that
conversation
with
the
at
least
the
commercial
agency
to
find
out
what
legally,
what
legal
parameters
there
might
be
on
this
sort
of
item.
If,
if
there's
any
responsibility
on
the
seller
to
fix
it,
because
it
is
a
code
question
that
should
have
been
disclosed,
I
would
think.
A
B
B
AG
L
I
would
also
to
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
jim's
point:
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
investigate
whether
or
not
this
could
be
paid
for
by
the
seller.
But
if
you
look
a
little
further
on
business
number
d,
us
delaying
us
getting
into
our
new
property
delays
us
from
possibly
getting
income
from
this
property
as
well.
K
And
I
I
mean
I
think
to
jim's
place,
I
I
can't
I
wouldn't
assume
ill
intended.
I
don't
think
they
would
know
because
they
were
grandfathered
in
I
mean
I
think,
that's
that's
the
difference.
The
rdo
building's
been
a
building
for
a
long
time.
It
is
a
beautiful
building.
I
mean
for
a
building
that
size.
The
work
that
we
are
doing
is
work
that
we
are
doing
it
to
make
it
into
a
school
board
meeting
in
the
garden
level.
K
A
lot
of
that
space
has
been
usable
and
we're
going
to
be
able
to
transfer
directly
on
that
second
and
first
floor,
and
I
think
we
kind
of
touched
space
on
that
and
planning
side.
K
You
know
in
terms
of
my
interactions
with
rdo.
I
don't
think
there's
any
question
that
they
wouldn't
have
known
just
because
they've
probably
been
grandfathered
in
there
for
so
long.
AE
AE
However,
if
I
heard
correctly
the
renovations
to
the
bathroom-
and
some
of
these
things
to
code
are
not
in
necessarily
the
areas
where
the
district
would
immediately,
you
know
need
the
space
where
the
initial
plan
was
because
that
garden
level,
if
I
recall,
wasn't
in
the
initial
plan
for
the
renovations,
so
so,
even
if
it
was
decided
to
wait
on
this,
I
don't
know
that
I
mean
do
we
know
for
sure
that
it
would
delay
the
move
over
over
there.
A
A
You
know
sprinkler
system,
so
basically
we'd
be
opening
up
a
we
can't.
We
would.
We
wouldn't
even
be
able
to
open
that
building
up
with
an
inspection
wouldn't
pass
and.
K
K
Should
this
get
approved
tonight,
those
office
spaces
they're
going
to
be
used
and
repurposed
for
some
additional
office
spaces
upstairs.
So
we
are
moving
those
three
areas,
so
small
amount
of
work,
but
it
does
impact
different
things.
So
it's
not
just
in
isolation
where
it's
just
a
bottom
floor
shut
off
it.
It's
not
that
easy.
Unfortunately,.
A
A
It's
so
it
seems
like
where
we
are
right
now
is
we
we
need
to
decide
on
this
item
that
is
in
front
of
us
and
that
we
won't
be
able
to
move
forward
with
even
opening
up
that
building
if
this
work
is
going
to
need
to
be
done,
and
we
have
made
a
commitment
for
this
building
space
from
what
I'm
hearing
from
this
other
discussion
about
whose
responsibility
here
or
there
regarding
say
for
example,
that
that
you
know
the
handicap
accessibility
for
the
bathroom.
A
I
would
just
put
that
to
my
suggestion-
would
be
put
it
to
administration
for
some
continued
thought
and
maybe
guidance
and
come
back
to
us
with
information.
K
I
just
want
to
recognize
this,
isn't
an
easy
conversation
for
administration
to
bring
to
the
board
as
well.
Please
know
that
we
by
century
code,
we
do
go
through
a
bidding
process.
We
take.
We
look
at
our
criteria
and
look
at
the
lowest
bids
possible
to
the
explorer
academy
did
come
under
bid
for
some
areas
too.
N
K
Specific
to
this
project,
but
lumber's
up
timber
medals
up,
I
mean
there's
just
different
things
when
we
go
to
bid,
but
we
are
doing
our
due
diligence.
It's
never
our
goal
to
bring
something
that
went
above
the
bid
process,
but
last
couple
of
projects
went
under
and
this
is
just
one
of
those
times
where
it
didn't.
A
AH
AG
L
K
A
AG
L
A
D
AH
C
K
This
this
business
item
is
really
requesting
the
ability
for
administration
to
work
with
our
commercial
real
estate
agent
to
list
the
current
building,
not
just
for
sale,
which
is
what
it's
listed
at
right
now,
but
for
lease
as
well.
A
presentation
was
made
by
our
real
estate
company
that
we're
working
with
to
the
planning
committee
talking
about
opportunities,
especially
with
us,
being
a
downtown
location.
K
If
we
want
to
be
able
to
invest
or
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
market
towards
investors-
and
there
are
investors
that
have
maybe
expressed
some
desire
to
look
at
this
property,
a
lease
option
would
be
an
another
route
to
go,
so
it
would
not
eliminate
our
property
for
sale,
but
in
addition
to
selling
it
also
considering
leasing
it
as
well,
and
there
are
a
wide
variety
of
different
options
of
what
that
could
look
like
that
can
include
us
being
a
landlord,
but
also
options
that
wouldn't
include
us
being
a
landlord.
K
B
A
L
AH
A
B
I
sure
will,
I
think,
everybody's
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
staff
over
at
davies
and
some
parents
over
at
davies
have
been
busy
for
quite
some
time,
trying
to
raise
enough
money
to
put
artificial
turf
in
on
their
football
slash
soccer
field-
and
I
know
troy
is
probably
sitting
in
the
back
wanting
to
say
we
did
it
because
they
did
they
hit
their
goal.
B
AI
I
know
mr
cody
is
here.
I
just
would
like
to
mention.
We
are
still
waiting
on
a
contract
for
the
donor,
who
has
pledged
their
payment,
and
so
I
think,
it'd
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
district
to
not
sign
the
contract
until
we
have
that
contract
for
the
pledge
in
hand.
AI
AF
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
commend
all
of
the
parents
and
families
that
really
put
this
effort
forward.
It
has
been
a
long
time
coming
and
this
is
a
very
exciting
day,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
community
members
that
pledged
pretty
significant
amounts
to
make
this
happen.
So
our
other
two
high
schools
have
this
type
of
turf
and
I'm
excited
for
davies
to
get
this.
A
AI
I
would
have
to
look
back
for
south
high.
That
was
a
very
different
situation
than
the
north
and
daviess
have
gone
through,
but
for
north
high.
We
did
have
a
similar
memo
come
before
the
board
for
approval.
A
Yeah,
I
vaguely
recall
that
too,
but
I
know
they
were
both
financed
through.
You
know:
donations
and
fundraising
efforts
of
various
kinds.
Anne
marie
did
you
have
your
hand
up
first.
A
What
jackie
said
for
the
north
high
that
came
to,
I
want
to
say
it?
Was
I've,
looked
at
it
a
couple
times,
but
it
was
either
may
or
june
of
2019.
Yes,
nice
work.
All
of
our
schools.
Will
our
high
schools
will
if
we
go
forward
with
this,
have
have
some
turf,
that's
going
to
be
lasting
for
many
many
years,
so
I
have
any
any
discussions
any
any
other
discussion
or
questions
anne-marie.
Please
call
the
role
gullickson,
yes,
holden.
L
A
B
AG
A
K
I
believe
the
board
and
our
community
has
been
engaged
in
conversations
with
the
career
workforce
academy,
so
from
some
extent
of
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
actually
even
predates
me,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
around
the
brick
and
mortar
and
one
of
the
things
that
our
district
has
always
said
and
shared
is
that,
although
that
might
not
be
an
opportunity
that
we
could
support
administratively
or
even
as
a
board,
we
understand
the
shared
cost
of
operational
expense,
sharing
the
operational
expenses
as
well
as
a
district.
K
So
the
career
workforce
academy
has
had
a
team
work
on
the
operational
expenses.
That
information
is
included
in
your
board
packet.
It
is
modeled
based
off
of
what's
happening
in
bismarck
with
their
career
workforce
academy
as
well.
K
So
the
ask
is
a
as
a
resolution
or
a
pledge,
whatever
one
call
it,
that
we
would
commit
to
the
operational
expenses
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
up
to
10
years,
which
would
be
up
to
a
third
of
the
expenses
understanding
that
west
fargo
has
passed
a
similar
resolution
with
their
board
of
education
as
well
and
ndscs
would
have
some
they
would
have
a
contribution
for
for
their
students
that
would
potentially
utilize
that
facility
as
well.
Dr
jonas
is
available
here
as
well.
K
If
board
members
have
any
questions
around
the
programming
around
that
project,
where
we
are
with
that
project
as
well.
Jackie's
also
been
working
with
the
team
of
business
managers
around
calculating
the
operational
expenses
and
how
we
got
to
that
number
as
well,
and
I've
been
part
of
some
of
those
conversations
as
well.

A

Several
months
ago,
david
brought
to
the
planning
committee
a
request
to
consider
doing
something
to
let
our
staff
know
that
we
really
appreciate
all
they've
been
doing
since
covid
became
reality
for
the
district
and
what
you
have
before
you
is.
What
planning
is
recommending
for
the
board's
consideration?
B
B
There's
approximately
2050
people
that
would
be
impacted
by
this
appreciation
and
the
estimated
cost,
including
the
benefits
that
would
go
with
it.
Social
security
so
on
and
so
forth
is
approximately
625
000,
and
I
think
the
thinking
currently
is
that
we'll
actually
be
using
our
fund
balance,
because
obviously
this
is
not
in
the
current
operating
budget.
So
if
we
approve
this,
we're
really
letting
the
business
manager
know,
we
expect
to
see
the
fund
balance
used
for
that
625
000..
L
AG
Should
that
motion
be
amended
to
so
that
it's
understood
that
the
300
is
for
full
time
and
it
will
be
prorated
for
anything
less
than
a
full-time
employee.
A
I
think
that
that
makes
it
clear
unless
david
you're,
okay
with
that,
okay.
C

AH
AG
A
L
N
G
Wanted
to
give
a
shout
out,
I'm
liaison
to
the
fps
foundation
and
they
had
a
very
successful,
giving
hearts
day
reviewed
financial
investment
and
strategies
they're
doing
well.
They
continue
to
raise
more,
even
in
these
tricky
times,
so
that
they
can
keep
doing
all
the
great
work
that
they're
doing.
G
They
received
an
unexpected
large
donation
from
bethel
church,
which
was
a
really
nice
blessing
to
be
able
to
have.
They
raised
just
shy
of
115
000.
I
believe,
if
I
have
that
number
right
and
what
a
day
there
were
over
500
non-profits
involved
and
that's
about
all.
AH
A
couple
of
things
just
we've
had
a
couple
of
meetings
with
the
calendar
committee.
Thanks
for
your
guidance
yesterday
at
the
work
session,
I
was
all
set
to
go
to
my
schools
on
thursday
and
friday
of
this
week,
but
dr
dr
gandhi,.
AH
B
Planning
matt,
since
we
last
had
a
board
meeting,
I
think
we
covered
most
of
what
happened
at
planning
in
our
business
section,
one
area
that
was
not
on
today's
discussions
is-
and
I'm
going
to
get
this
wrong.
I'm
pretty
sure,
but
jackie
will
correct
me.
We
have
an
operating
system.
B
I
think
it's
called
something
like
erp
and
we
are
going
to
need
to
change
it
because
it's
no
longer
really
being
supported
and
we're
going
to
probably
shift
infinite,
infinite
visions
and
that
will
ultimately
be
a
cost,
probably
in
the
next
school
year
of
anywhere
from
600
to
800,
000.
B
B
AG
L
President
connecting
you
are
correct,
I
do
have
more
to
report
than
I
did
last
meeting
so
on
the
24th
of
february.
I
was,
I
had
the
cte
board
advisory
council
meeting
on
the
second,
I
had
a
visit
to
cbe
and
had
a
good
conversation
with
brad
and
his
the
lights.
L
The
lights
of
retirement
are
getting
brighter
for
him,
so
so
and
then
on
the
third.
I
had
a
visit
with
at
lincoln
and
had
a
good
conversation
with
megan
there.
L
Also
that
day
on
the
third
I
had
a
visit
with
ed
clapp
and
once
again
had
a
good
visit
with
jennifer
also
had
was
pretty
funny.
We
were
walking
the
halls
and
the
third
grader
came
and
asked
her
who
I
was,
and
she
was
trying
to
explain
that
I
was
a
board
member
to
him
and
he
didn't
quite
get
it
and
he
thought
it
asked
me
if
I
was
the
owner
of
the
school,
and
I
tried
to
explain
to
him
that
we
all
owned
the
school.
L
But
I
don't
think
public
works
are
quite
on
the
third
grade
agenda.
So
he
didn't
quite
he
didn't
quit.
He
didn't
quite
get
it
and
ran
off
and
had
fun
so
and
then
obviously
work
session
yesterday.
So
yeah
thanks.
AF
Not
much
for
me,
we
had
our
coveted
19
instructional
plan
committee
meeting
yesterday.
As
you
guys
know,
I
did
attend
a
one
hour,
long
webinar
out
of
ucsf
about
coveted
vaccinations
and
the
impact
on
schools
and
in-person
learning
which,
like
it
or
not,
I
shared
with
dr
gandhi,
sorry
about
that,
and
I
continue
to
follow
just
all
of
the
trials
and
data
coming
out
about
children
under
the
age
of
18.,
particularly
just
16
being
vaccinated,
and
I'm
also
sharing
with
people
so-
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
moment
to
really
commend.
AF
I
sit
on
the
fargo
cass
public
health
board
through
this
through
this
assignment,
and
they
are
just
doing
such
a
phenomenal
job
with
their
vaccination
effort
in
our
community,
and
I
just
want
to
publicly
thank
them.
They
are
working
tirelessly
to
get
our
community
vaccinated
and
I
think
north
dakota
is
doing
this
better
than
most
states
in
our
country
and
I'm
extremely
proud
of
the
work
they
do.
So.
Thank
you.
Fargo
cast.
A
Public
health,
thank
you
tracy.
The
president's
schedule
calendar
is
in
front
of
you.
There's
some
homework
due
tomorrow
for
any
of
us.
I
I
need
to
work
on
getting
mine
turned
in
so
anyone
else.
Please
do
that.
The
native
american
commission
was
going
to
meet
in
march,
but
that
meeting
was
canceled.
A
I
wanted
to
just
talk
a
a
tishbit
about
the
town
hall
meetings
that
were
held
the
the
first
ones,
the
beginning
here
right
away
of
march,
that
we
we
as
board
members
will
rotate
as
far
as
who
participates
in
those
meetings,
and
so
I
was
in
on
the
first
two
meetings
and
rupak.
I
know
you
you'll
add
in
a
little
bit
here
I
think
after
to
fill
in,
but
there
were
some.
A
There
were
some
questions
at
the
end
I,
but
basically
at
the
beginning,
I
I
gave
a
welcome
and
thanked
people
for
participating
and
you
know
encouraged
open
dialogue
and
a
trusting
process
and
being
a
safe
space
to
you
know,
share
information
and
ask
questions,
and
that
kind
of
a
thing
we've
talked
about
that
here
as
a
as
a
board
before
and
at
the
cea
meeting
too,
and
so
there
were
just
a
few
comments
that
were
specifically
directed
towards
the
board
that
I
just
thought
I'd.
Let
you
know
what
they
were
in
relation
to.
A
One
of
them
was
regarding
the
mask
mandate
in
bill
in
the
north
dakota
legislature,
lifting
that
and
just
voicing
concern
about
that
and
where
we
were
as
a
school
board
on
that
and
we
you
know,
we
talked
about
that
earlier
when
robin
nelson
provided
her
report
and
explanation
in
terms
of
you
know
where
we've
been
but
dr
gandhi,
and
I
both
talked
about
that
it.
We
won't
be
not
visible
after
cross.
A
You
know
now
once
crossover
passes
and
the
the
deep
concern
about
well,
if
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
issue
masks,
we
just
won't
be
able
to
be.
You
know
in
school,
and
I
talked
about
the
crossover
meeting,
the
zoo
meeting
that
we
had
with
our
legislators
to
reinforce
that.
We
had
that
dialogue
then
too,
and
the
concern
there
and
so
then
another
question,
I
think,
the
other
two,
yes
to
others,
tied
into
negotiations.
A
One
question
it
was
in
regard
to
the
time
frame
for
negotiations.
Well,
the
question
was
this:
why
did
the-
and
this
is
the
question
I'm
not
saying
this-
is
this-
is
my
my
response
back
or
at
all
our
position?
But
the
question
was:
why
did
the
fargo
public
schools
board
choose
to
spearhead
a
bill
limiting
the
time
frame
for
contract
negotiations,
rather
than
as
past
mediation?
Panel
recommendations
has
suggested
work
with
the
local
bargaining
entity,
establish
a
timeline
as
a
ground
rule.
A
Why
take
it
statewide
to
solve
a
local
problem
through
collaboration
and
the
board
did
not
all
seem
in
agreement
of
the
bill's
support?
So
we've
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
before
as
a
board
in
terms
of
our
individual
positionings
and
in
terms
of
board
support.
We
talked
about
that
earlier
today.
We
talked
about
that.
If
we
have
an
individual
opinion
on
something
that
that's
to
come,
not
from
a
school
board
address-
or
you
know-
that's
our
own
individual
emails
or
contact
information
that
we
would
be
using
and
for
doing
that.
I
talked
about
that.
A
The
that
that
is
a
board
support,
a
committee
support
for
that,
the
stance
on
that
bill
and
that
it's
it's
not
only
fargo
school
district.
That
is
an
advocate
for
that
bill.
There
were
many
others
testifying
in
favor
of
that
bill,
including
so
other
school
districts
and
the
school
boards
association.
So
that
was
my
kind
of
in
the
nutshell.
A
My
comment
there,
I
did
talk
about
and
dr
gandhi
can
touch
on
a
little
bit
more,
if
necessary,
some
of
the
issues
that
that
we
and
other
districts
run
into
when
when
we
don't
have
a
timely
settlement
on
a
contract
agreement
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
held
back
in
terms
of
administration
being
able
to
you
know,
move
forward
with
planning
for
the
school
year
and
then
another
question
that
tied
into
that
was
in
regard
to
like
being
able
to
continue
to
move
through
the
negotiations
process,
basically
in
a
timely
manner
and
talking
about
how
might
this
change
for
the
upcoming
negotiation
cycle
asked
about
the
need
that
in
the
past,
the
board
has
had
to,
you
know,
meet
every
two
weeks
to
address
issues
that
come
up
at
those
joint
fea
and
and
board
negotiations
committee
meetings,
and
so
I
mentioned
that
I'd
be
willing
to
call
a
special
meeting
whenever
is
needed.
A
If
we
need
to
be
able
to
move
things
along.
I
also
encouraged
trust
respect
grace.
You
know
that
we
enter
into
this
process
just
with
that
also
suggesting
that,
possibly
during
the
time
when
negotiations
are
with,
when
both
groups
discuss
the
ground
rules
that
there's
a
time
for
us
to
you
know,
maybe
maybe
step
back
and
kind
of
again
use
that
grace
and
trust
and
respect
and
being
flexible
and
thinking
about
what
some
of
the
ground
rules
might
be
might
come
from
both
parties
and
then
working
to
agree
on
those.
A
So
hopefully
I
represented
the
board
well
and
dr
gandhi,
anything
to
add.
K
Nothing
else
to
add
administration
will
be
putting
out
in
this
thursday's
staff
newsletter.
Just
a
summary
of
the
first
town
hall
meetings
and
the
topics
covered
and
some
of
the
conversation
points
as
well.
