A
Kristen
at
this
time,
the
board
will
hear
comments
from
from
you
from
the
public.
We
ask
that
each
speaker
who
has
signed
up
to
address
the
board
state
their
name
and
address
for
the
record
speakers,
must
refrain
from
using
this
form
to
criticize
or
complain
about
a
specific
employee
or
student
by
name.
Vulgar
or
profane
language
will
not
be
tolerated.
A
The
board
is
interested
in
your
comments
and
will
listen
carefully,
but
is
not
obligated
to
respond
or
to
debate
issues
in
this
forum.
Should
you
desire
a
written
response
to
a
specific
question?
You
may
request
it
this
evening
you
will
be
allotted
a
maximum
of
four
minutes
upon
conclusion
of
the
allotted
time.
A
chime
will
sound
in
the
speaker
will
be
out.
You
will
be
asked
to
conclude
if
it
is
necessary.
A
final
time
will
sound
15
seconds
later,
signifying
the
end
of
your
time
at
our
virtual
podium.
A
A
F
The
background
noise
might
be
coming
from
me,
I'm
actually
at
a
volleyball
game,
kristen
charbonneau,
I
am
a
resident
of
fargo
north
dakota,
and
I
am
speaking
about
the
mass
again
requesting
that
the
mass
be
removed.
We
live
in
a
country
that
was
founded
on
the
premise
of
freedom.
The
majority
of
people
would
agree
that
eating
more
fruits
and
vegetables
exercising
more
and
decreasing
consumption
of
sugar
leads
to
a
healthier
lifestyle,
but
we
do
not
have
mandates
about
it
because
we
value
a
person's
freedom
to
make
choices.
F
I
have
never
heard
of
anyone
with
the
exception
of
children
that
don't
want
to
eat
their
broccoli
recruit
the
positives
of
eating
vegetables
on
our
health.
Why
is
it?
We
don't
have
mandates
stating
that
children
are
not
able
to
participate
in
sports
unless
they
eat
strawberries,
or
that
you
can't
be
an
advanced
reading
class
unless
you
eat
carrots,
these
ideas
sound
ridiculous
because
they
violate
a
person's
freedoms.
Having
a
freedom
having
freedom
is
the
foundation
of
our
democracy.
F
A
A
G
I
can
sure
go
ahead
tonight.
Thank
you,
president
knutson,
for
having
us
and
allowing
us
to
present
a
little
bit
on
the
bar
program
that
started
here
at
south
high
school.
This
year.
Last
year,
dr
ulsalman
shared
with
the
admin
team
at
south
high,
a
program
known
as
bar
building
assets
and
reducing
risks.
G
Our
focus
this
year
is
on
our
freshman
class.
Dr
ulsamen
and
megan
even
submitted
a
grant
request
to
the
state
of
north
dakota
on
behalf
of
fargo
south,
to
assist
with
funding
last
spring
and
the
grant
was
approved
by
being
a
bar
school.
We
have
also
access
to
a
network
of
many
educators
in
multiple
states
and
school
districts
who
can
provide
ideas,
suggestions,
programs,
resources
to
empower
all
students
to
succeed
and
graduate.
G
We
are
fortunate
to
become
the
first
bar
school
in
north
dakota.
A
bar
is
the
nation's
leading
evidence-based
school
improvement
model
that
intentionally
deepens
relationships
and
utilizes,
a
data-driven,
personalized
and
supportive
approach.
There's
a
lot
to
talk
about
barr
and
I'm
pleased
that
assistant
principal
dr
shannon
mortrood
and
pe
teacher
and
bar
coordinator
molly.
London,
are
here
this
evening
to
provide
specifics
about
bar
purposes,
implementation
strategies,
program,
specifics
and
an
overview
on
bar
programming
thus
far,
and
I
believe
also
dr
ulsimon
will
be
able
to
share
a
few
words
as
well.
H
H
H
So
I'll,
let
you
sit
with
the
definition,
but
I
can
say
that
we've
noticed
this
alignment
of
systems
and
just
systematizing
our
resources
as
a
benefit
of
bar
and
their
slogan
is
kind
of
same
teachers,
same
students,
better
results,
there's
eight
key
strategies.
We
have
a
three-year
implementation
model
where
molly
and
myself
get
a
lot
of
coaching
from
their
institution.
H
So
we
have
always
been
looking
to
improve
our
transition
from
middle
to
high
school.
We
find
that
ninth
graders
really
catch
their
groove
second
semester,
and
that's
just
not
good
enough
for
us.
We
want
those
relationships
and
that
connection
to
be
quicker,
and
so
we
looked
for
bar
and
luckily
tamara
usilman
introduced
it
to
us,
and
we
thought
this
would
be
great
goal.
Two
increased
credits
earned
for
fargo
south
high
freshman,
as
we
all
know,
on
a
transition
year.
H
The
district
has
an
attendance
goal,
and
so
we
do
too,
because
we
align
with
our
district
goals
so
to
improve
attendance,
those
relationships
and
connections.
That's
one
of
the
number
one
things
along
with
parent
outreach
to
get
students
truancy
to
be
reduced,
and
then
a
long-term
goal
is
to
increase
on-time.
Graduation
research
shows
that
if
you
fail
a
core
as
a
freshman,
your
dropout
likelihood
increases.
So
we
are
in
the
business
of
avoiding
that
this
is
a
picture
of
our
bar
team.
We
have
many
freshman
teachers.
H
We
went
through
a
training
this
summer
with
the
bar
institute
for
two
days
in
it
I
will
say
we
had
buy
in
before,
but
after
that
training
there
was
no
doubt
in
our
mind
that
we
made
the
right
choice
again,
our
we
are
funded
under
a
grant.
Dr
tamara
uselman
introduced
us
to
this
from
moorhead
molly.
London
is
our
bar
coordinator
and
is
a
key
piece
to
the
success
of
our
implementation
so
early
and
successfully.
H
H
This
is
a
graphic
from
the
bar
institution
and
I
appreciate
that
it
encompasses
what
all
can
happen
within
a
week,
and
I
will
briefly
go
over
these
components
and
then
we
will
be
done.
I
time
is
a
the
social,
emotional
learning
piece
of
the
curriculum,
our
small
block
meetings,
our
for
our
teachers
to
talk
about
students
in
the
classroom
positives.
H
H
I
will
say
one
of
my
favorite
components.
So
far
is
I
time
molly
london
really
leaned
in
quickly
to
this,
and
our
teachers
did
as
well,
and
we
started
week
two
with
our
students
teaching
our
sel.
I
time
lessons
in
the
classroom
they
receive
one
once
a
week.
I
will
not
read
them
to
you,
but
I've
listed
all
of
the
lessons
that
we've
gone
through
thus
far
and
then
on
the
right.
H
There's
a
bit
of
a
quote
from
a
teacher
who
is
working
through
an
I
time
in
her
classroom
and
one
of
her
students
that
maybe
hasn't
really
caught
on
to
loving
being
in
class,
or
I
don't
know
what
trickier
means,
but
she
was
enjoying
the
time
and
was
sad
to
see
that
the
period
had
passed
so
quickly.
So
those
you
know
bits
of
data
that
aren't
so
formal
are
the
stuff.
H
We
like
to
hear,
though,
because
it's
creating
those
relationships
from
student
to
student
and
student
to
teacher
and
that's
the
point
of
the
I
time
and
then,
like
I
said,
the
small
block,
big
block
and
risk
review
meetings
are
for
students
at
different
levels,
so
zero
to
one
are
zero.
They
have
you
know
they're
trucking
along
just
fine,
but
we
wanna
reach
out
to
them
and
make
sure
their
families
are
engaged
level.
H
H
We
have
student
success,
advisors,
ilc
interventions
through
counseling,
our
intervention
room,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
interventions
already
built,
so
we
can
filter
those
students
and
then
risk
review
is
really
getting
our
school
social
worker
and
counseling
staff
involved
to
get
wrap
around
services.
So
those
barriers
don't
create
big
divides
for
those
students
and
we
can
get
them
engaged.
H
I
Thank
you,
dr
burch.
I
just
want
to
do
a
shout
out
to
the
fargo
cells
team,
doctor,
birch,
doctor
mortred
and
the
entire
mortuard
and
the
entire
team
down
there
pulled
bar
off,
and
I
think
it's
implementing
well
and
I
believe
it's
probably
one
of
the
greatest
equity
things
you
can
do
because
it
benefits
all
kids,
those
who
are
doing
pretty
well
now
and
those
who
have
struggled
so
shout
out
to
thanks.
A
I
don't
see
any
hands
up,
but
and
I'm
I'm
certain
that
you
will
be
happy
to
take
questions
if
they
come
up
down
the
road
and
thank
you
for
providing
us
with
the
information
ahead
of
time.
So
we're
able
to
read
through
it
wonderful
work
and
great
to
learn
about
have
a
great
rest
of
the
evening.
Thanks
for
being
here.
A
J
We
have
been
working
to
enhance
and-
and
you
know,
introduce
some
new
opportunities
for
students
as
well,
and
so
I
know
you
received
the
report
that
is
pretty
comprehensive
of
all
of
the
supports
that
the
fargo
public
schools
is
providing
tonight.
What
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
to
share
with
you
some
of
those
changes,
some
of
the
pieces
that
have
been
enhanced
and
some
of
them
that
are
new,
so
starting
at
that
tier
one
level.
J
What
the
digital
curriculum
does
now
is.
It
allows
our
classroom
teachers
to
also
be
providing
those
instructions,
and
so
what
we
have
requested
is
that
all
classroom
teachers
are
providing
at
least
three
of
those
direct
instruction
lessons
through
the
the
digital
curriculum
and
last
year
was
our
first
year
that
this
was
an
opportunity
at
our
middle
schools,
and
so
this
is
year
two
that
our
middle
schools
are
also
using
second
step
in
their
advisory
time
to
provide
those
direct
instructions
to
students
on
social,
emotional,
behavioral
needs
and
skills.
J
E
J
J
J
So,
on
this
slide,
it's
called
sort
of
questioning
so
those
those
very
specific
questions
that
elicit
conversation
amongst
all
parties.
That
happens
first
with
with
all
of
the
students
involved
or
all
of
the
people
involved,
because
it's
not
always
students
on
an
individual
basis
during
the
pre-conference
and
so
pre-conferencing
can
be
somewhat
time
intensive,
because
it
is.
J
That
can
be
things
that
they
want
to
do
to
make
the
situation
right
or
how
they
want
to
repair
any
harm
that
has
been
done
so
restorative
conferencing
is,
is
fairly
new
to
us.
Last
year
again,
we
had
started
on
a
contracted
basis
with
some
outside
partnerships
and
this
year
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
have
that
right
in-house
that
enables
us
to
respond
more
quickly
and
more
thoroughly
with
our
with
any
situations
that
may
arise.
J
So
I
want
to
be
sure
I
do
that
again,
just
a
reminder
that
the
swifts
provide
that
voluntary
referral
based
support,
specifically
around
mental
and
behavioral
health
needs
and
with
the
idea
that
that
they
are
trying
to
help
families
get
connected
to
those
community
supports
that
that
their
family
might
be
needing
this
year.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
12
student
wellness
and
family
facilitators,
10
of
whom
are
licensed
social
workers,
and
three
of
them
have
been
hired
last
year
and
this
year
on
some
soft
funding.
J
So
we'll
continue
to
monitor
that
as
as
the
next
handful
of
years
goes
by,
all
of
our
swifts
have
assigned
schools,
although
sometimes
they
cross
over
as
they're
as
they're
working
with
families
who
have
students
in
multiple
schools
and,
generally
speaking,
we
are
trying.
We
try
to
keep
them
around
a
caseload
of
30
to
50
students,
depending
on
the
level
level
of
need
that
each
student
or
each
case
brings
forward
three
of
the
12
swifts
also
served
as
homeless
liaisons
across
the
district.
J
J
J
New
referrals
each
year
are
a
reality.
We
are.
We
always
try
to
think
about
the
swift
program
that
when
we
feel
like
a
family
has
stabilized
our
student
has
stabilized.
We
try
to
close
out
the
swift
involvement
and
try
to
empower
that
family
to
continue
those
supports,
and
so
sometimes
new
referrals
can
be
students
who
are
previously
been
involved
in
the
program
that
are
needing
another
additional
boost
to
help
help
provide
some
stabilization
to
the
student
or
they
could
be
brand
new.
J
J
And
so
what
you
can
see
here
are
the
total
number
of
referrals
we've
had
since
we
started
in
the
2019-20
school
year
and
where
we
are
at
currently
with
the
number
of
referrals.
And
so
these
partnerships
are
continuing
to
grow
with
the
community
services.
And
so
our
student,
wellness
and
family
facilitators,
and
sometimes
our
counselors,
are
working
with
community
partners
to
find
a
time
during
the
day
that
the
student
and
the
community
partner
can
meet
at
the
school
to
provide
that
45
to
1
hour
clinical
service.
J
The
targeted
case
management
program
that
we
have
been
able
to
bring
into
some
of
our
schools
targeted
case
management
is
medicaid
reimbursable
and
the
idea
is
that
they're
providing
services
for
a
very
targeted
population
of
students
in
order
to
improve
that
quality
of
life.
So
this
is
a
partnership
that
we
have
with
nexus
path
here
in
town
and
because
they
are
employees
of
nexus
path.
J
So
when
we
think
about
the
target
population
with
whom
those
targeted
case
managers,
work,
students
who
are
eligible
for
tcm
services
have
to
have
a
mental
health
diagnosis
and
they
have
to
be
medic.
Medical
assistants
eligible
so
ma
eligible
and
they
either
have
to
have
a
social
services
report
on
file
with
the
county
or
they.
E
J
J
This
year,
in
partnership
with
with
nexus
path,
who
received
a
grant
through
the
united
way
and
with
s
r
funds,
we
are
able
to
have
five
targeted
case
managers
in
our
schools.
We
have
one
full-time,
targeted
case
manager
at
carlin
allison.
We
have
a
full-time
person
at
jefferson
whose
half
of
her
schedule
is
targeted
case
management.
The
other
half
of
her
schedule
is
to
serve
as
the
site
coordinator
for
our
community
full
service.
E
K
I
have
a
question:
I
don't
know
if
you
see
my
hand,
rebecca
sorry,
okay,
yeah
go
ahead,
tracy.
Thank
you,
jen
for
presenting
this
information,
and
really
just
thank
you
for
all
the
services
that
the
schools
have
been
providing
it.
It
has
just
not
gone
unnoticed
for
us
who
are
caring
for
kids
out
in
the
community.
It's
really
been
just
a
relief
during
this
pandemic.
I'm
never
surprised
by
how
many
patients
are
already
plugged
into
services
within
their
schools.
K
J
So
the
actual
documentation
usually
comes
from
the
counselor.
The
student
wellness
and
family
facilitator
the
principal,
but
certainly
that
it
comes
to
them
through
all
of
the
ways
that
you've
described
right
through
conversations
with
the
classroom
teachers,
sometimes
with
parents
having
conversations
with
those
with
those
staff
professionals
as
well.
But
the
formal
document
that
gets
completed
tends
to
funnel
through
the
counselor,
the
swift
and
the
principal.
L
A
Anyone
else
the
information
on
the
restorative
practices
and
restorative
conferencing
has
always
been
interesting
to
me
and
to
see
how
it
has
been
evolving
over
recent
times
within
the
district.
So
I
appreciate
that
information
and
the
effort
that
staff
members
are
are
undertaking
to
help
us
move
towards
that
that
process,
which
seems
to
be
a
healthy
one
for
resolution,
at
least
to
some
very
important
conflicts.
A
J
G
M
On
the
recess
commission
and
our
first
meeting
went
really
well,
we
all
got
some
assignments
to
bring
back
to
our
next
meeting.
We
have
the
meetings
set,
setup
and
goal
of
hopefully
finishing
by
january,
and
I'm
also
hoping
I
just
have
to
get.
I
guess
together,
I'm
thinking
it's
with
seth
on
our
mou
on
salary.
A
M
So
I
know
rebecca
and
I
were
hoping
that
that
would
begin
in
november
and
of
course
has
to
be
done
by
may
and
then
I
did
get
a
lot
more
information.
So
when
rebecca
and
I
meet
for
our
bargaining
information,
I've
got
lots
of
good
information,
so
we
can
get
that
ready
and
we'll
have
all
these
tasks
plowing
forward.
So
it
looks
good
and
then
I
was
very
pleased.
E
M
A
N
First
off
just
want
to
concur
with
what
kim
said,
thank
you
to
to
kim
for
representing
the
fba
and
joining
us
in
our
staff
town
hall
meeting.
That's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
connect
with
staff
and
answer
questions.
So
we're
really
grateful
for
fda
to
collaborate
with
us
and
and
participate
in
the
town
hall
that
we
had
for
october
and
which
was
which
we
had
yesterday.
N
As
most
of
you
board
members
know
and
for
those
are
watching,
we
are
in
the
process
of
relocating
our
district
office
to
our
new
home,
which
is
going
to
be
on
707th
street
south.
That
will
be
it's
a
multi-day
moving
process
by
departments
so
moving
forward
starting
monday
october
18th.
We
will
no
longer
be
utilizing
our
old
district
office,
so
our
new
location
for
any
needs
for
all
departments
will
be
707th
street
south.
N
We
are
adjacent
to
hawthorne
elementaries.
I
think
most
individuals
know
where
that's
located,
but
if
you
have
any
district
needs,
please
contact
us
there.
Phone
numbers
have
not
changed.
It's
just
our
physical
address
location.
So
that's
where
we'll
be
housed.
Moving
forward
per
previous
conversations
at
governance
as
well,
I
was
asked
to
kind
of
just
provide
a
week-to-week
update
at
our
board
meetings
on
where
we
are
with
covet
19
numbers
that
we
have
tracked
within
our
district
as
well
so
similar
to
the
last
board
meeting.
N
So
orange
is
elementary,
pink
is
middle
and
then
the
blue
is
high
school
for
this
school
year
and
then
just
like
last
time,
since
our
board
meetings
fall
on
tuesdays,
the
current
week
will
always
just
be
what
we
have
in
this
moment
in
time,
knowing
that
it's
not
comparable
to
a
full
week,
because
we
expect
these
numbers
potentially
to
maybe
get
higher
as
the
week
progresses
and
by
the
end
of
friday
or
even
sunday.
So
this
is
where
we
are
with
kova
numbers
on
a
week-to-week
basis
and
in
comparison
to
last
year.
D
N
D
A
N
We
we
do
have
information
regarding
kind
of
some
of
the
hvac
upgrades
that
we've
done
that
have
been
communicated
to
parents,
some
of
that
was
communicated
last
year.
I
believe
I've
shared
some
of
our
community
geeks
with
board
members,
whether
it
was
through
opportunities
that
we
had
with
our
media
partner
last
year.
I
believe
our
director
maintenance
and
operation
did
a
segment
on
on
one
of
the
local
television
shows
as
well,
and
we
put
out
some
information.
A
D
D
The
sanford
main
hospital
is
down
from
five
to
zero,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
this
is
part
of
that
conversation
and
then
also
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
communication
questions
around
west
fargo
numbers
compared
to
fargo
numbers,
and
so
I
guess
I
would
hope
that
you
could
share
some
of
the
dialogue
around
that
and
maybe
I'll
let
you
start
there
and
then
rebecca
if
it's
okay,
I'd
have
one
comment.
After
he's
done.
A
Sure-
and
I
would
I
would
just
suggest-
that
we
don't
get
too
much
into
a
comparison
of
one
district
over
another
in
terms
of
numbers
and
and
how
you
know
how
they're
tracked
I've
seen
some
things
articles
you
know
come
up
in
the
media
too,
and
I
would
just
prefer
that
we
stick
to
the
information
that
that
our
district
is
is
working
with
and
the
process
that
we
have
so
dr
gandhi
feel
feel
free
to
go.
Go
ahead.
N
Yeah
at
the
august
10th
board
of
education
meeting,
obviously
that
the
the
recommendation
that
was
approved
was
to
follow
the
mitigation
strategies
recommended
by
fargo,
cast
public
help
and
as
shared
at
that
meeting
and
then
since
then
as
well.
We
work
with
fargo
cast
public
health
and
or
the
north
dakota
department
of
health
to
really
dive
deeper
into
the
operational
aspect
of
what
does
our
recommendations
mean
with
what?
How
does
that
impact
specific
situations
that
we
talk
about
within
our
schools?
N
So
that's
what
we
meet
with
them
on
a
bi-weekly
basis
to
have
those
conversations
with
them.
For
example,
I
believe
the
last
meeting
we
had
with
them.
We
may
have
discussed
one
or
two
situations.
We
didn't
have
many
other
questions,
because
we
most
of
our
systems
are
kind
of
running
in
place.
Brenton
from
north
dakota
department
of
health
does
kind
of
share
some
of
the
information
that's
happening
community-wide.
N
We
have
not
been
given
any
guidance
to
change
that
either.
I
don't
have
kind
of
the
hospitalization
bed
rate
and
the
positivity
rate.
At
this
time.
I
can
probably
pull
up
the
department
of
health
dashboard,
but
if
that
is
going
to
be
a
request
for
a
standing
report,
I
would
ask
that
they
come
and
speak
to
that
data.
N
What
was
shared
with
us,
or
at
least
from
administration,
was
asked
at
the
governance
meeting,
was
a
week-to-week
count
of
the
data
that
we're
tracking
within
the
schools
and
maybe
in
comparison
to
last
year,
so
open
to
whatever
that
wants
to
be
shared.
I
don't
feel
comfortable
speaking
on
behalf
of
west
fargo.
I
know
that
I've
shared
in
the
past
two
every
administration
team
is
going
to
do
what
the
guidance
from
their
board
is.
N
So
I
don't
think
it's
appropriate
to
compare
ourselves
with
them
either
out
of
disrespect
to
them,
and
I
think
they
would
do
the
same
for
us.
So
if
we
want
to
have
a
larger
conversation
around
the
interpretation
of
data,
I
would
ask
the
epidemiologists
or
the
representatives
from
fargo
cast
to
provide
that
report.
I'm
just
kind
of
going
off
of
what
the
guidance
was
given
to
me
at
governance
and
if
that
needs
to
change
I'll,
look
to
the
board
or
the
board's
committee
or
the
majority
of
the
board.
For
what
that
looks
like
as
well.
A
O
K
So
one
is
the
way
the
data
is
being
reported
between
the
two
districts.
So
these
school
districts
are
just
reporting
the
amount
of
positive
cases
out
of
the
total
of
students
within
the
district.
So
that's
not
really
a
number
that
we
use
in
science
a
lot
okay.
So
what
would
be
a
better
indicator
would
be
a
case
positivity
rate
a
case.
K
So
in
statistics
we
control
for
confounding
variables
when
we
do
studies,
a
confounder
is
anything
that
might
possibly
interfere
with
anything
other
than
the
thing
being
studied.
That
could
affect
your
outcome
or
your
results
right,
and
so
we,
when
you
compare
these
two
district
case,
like
positivity
being
being
reported,
no
one
is
confounding
for
all
of
the
other
things
that
could
be
affected
in
that,
for
example,
vaccination
rate
of
the
students
or
vaccination
rate
of
the
staff
would
be
a
a
good
example.
K
Some
of
the
studies
that
were
mentioned
at
this
last
meeting
by
the
experts,
the
arizona
studies,
the
difference
between
those-
is
that
those
were
rigorously
confounded
for
in
those
studies.
So,
for
example,
I
think
one
of
the
ones
presented
was
looking
at
community
rates
in
where
schools
mass
versus,
where
they
don't.
It
was
a
list
of
like
15,
different
confounders
that
those
scientists
studied
for
age,
race,
ethnicity.
K
You
know
I
mean
I
have
them
all
listed
here:
it's
community
transmission,
population
density,
social
vulnerability
index
covet
19,
community
vulnerability,
index
percentage
of
students,
uninsured
percentage
of
living
in
poverty.
These
are
all
examples
of
things
that
could
affect
your
outcome
when
you're
trying
to
make
comparisons
and
no
one
is
taking
the
steps
to
to
control
for
those.
So
that's
very
important
and
number
three
is
really
just
the
quality
of
the
data
being
compared.
K
I
think
it's
come
to
light.
You
know
that
our
area,
school
districts
aren't
necessarily
reporting
coveted
numbers
in
the
same
way,
so
we're
only
good
as
like
the
numbers
that
are
being
reported.
So
I
just
I
just
think
between
those
three
things
and
many
more.
It's
just
not
a
great
idea
to
compare
rates
between
any
school
districts.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
tracy.
I
want
to,
of
course,
we're
on
the
superintendent's
report,
your
information
tied
into
some
questions
that
were
were
posed
during
this
time.
I
don't
want
to
get
us
much
farther
off
from
the
superintendent's
report
than
we
are
jennifer.
Do
you
have
a
a
question
that
you
could
potentially
direct
directly
to
dr
gandhi
after
this
meeting.
B
D
B
A
C
Yep,
I'm
just
going
to
go
on
the
record
jennifer
and
david
and
say
I'm
really
tired
of
this
game,
and
you
know
you
can
keep
trying
to
use
all
of
our
time
in
these
board
meetings
for
this
issue,
and
I
understand
it's
a
critical
issue,
but
I
don't
think
anything
has
changed
in
this
board's
position
in
the
last
two
weeks.
So
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you'd
request
these
items
in
the
future
to
be
on
the
agenda
under
business.
D
A
B
Her
officers
of
order,
the
person
who
makes
the
motion
is
the
one
who
can
speak
to
it.
First,
you
have
had
someone
move
previous
question
and
it
has
been
seconded
so
you
by
that
process.
You
should
be
voting
on
that
as
well.
But,
yes,
the
person
who
makes
the
motion
does
have
the
ability
to
speak
to
it.
First.
D
D
I
you
can't
you
need
to
let
me
speak
first,
because
that
is
the
role
of
that's
the
rule,
so
that
should
have
never
been
allowed
for
her
to
speak
first.
So,
if
I
may
just
finish,
I
mean
again,
this
is
clearly
about
a
power
struggle.
When
really
I'm
just
trying
to
have
a
discussion,
that's
important
in
our
community,
it's
important
to
all
of
our
kids.
D
So
if
the
goal
is
to
just
shut
me
up
every
single
meeting
or
try
to
shame
me
or
whatever,
or
make
it
extremely
difficult,
like
we're
not
doing
what's
best
for
our
kids,
we
we
should
have
this
as
a
standing
item
and
we've
made
that
request
countless
times
for
governance,
to
do
that.
Governance
chose
to
put
it
under
the
superintendent
share
out.
So
here
we
are.
I
would
still
like
it
to
be
under
business.
D
You
know
you
have
to
have
someone
come
present,
one
data
set
to
say:
oh
look
at
this,
it
works.
This
is
valid
information
and
then
have
this
one
in
front
of
you,
but
because
it
doesn't
fit
your
narrative
try
to
poke
holes
in
it.
The
reality
is
the
active
cases
at
west
fargo.
As
of
october,
8th
were
110,
sorry,
58
and
fargos
were
110..
D
We
have
a
mass
mandate
and
they
don't
so
clearly
they're.
They
are
not
working
as
we
are
hoping
that
they
are
could
be
working
which
goes
back
to
again
way
back
in
the
beginning.
All
of
those
you
know,
within
the
cdc
and
nih
said
this
exact
same
thing
that
was
in
the
general
population
masks
are
not
going
to
help,
you
reduce
the
spread
of
coped
and
we
are
putting
them
and
requiring
them
on
our
children
without
knowing
these
long-term
effects.
D
It's
incredibly
irresponsible,
and
so
yes,
I
do
think
it
is
my
job
to
bring
it
up
as
an
elected
official
sitting
around
this
table.
To
talk
about
it
and
to
make
this
motion
and
for
to
demand
answers,
you
don't
just
get
to
move
this
goal
post
or
not
even
have
a
goal
post
and
then
just
say.
Well,
you
know
we're
going
to
just
wait
for
someone
to
tell
us
what
to
do.
Okay,
we're
being
charged
with
making
this
decision
okay,
and
we
have
data
right
in
front
of
us
that
is
saying.
D
Westbrook
was
at
58
and
we're
at
110
and
by
the
way
west.
Fargo
responded
to
those
accusations
that
were
made
in
that
column
that
you're
talking
about,
and
they
specifically
pointed
out
how
it
was
misinformation,
false
information
and
that
their
reporting
has
not
changed
this
year
as
to
prior
last
year.
So
to
to
to
accuse
without
knowing
is
also
inappropriate
and
inaccurate
and
we're
making
decisions
then
based
on
inaccurate
information.
D
A
B
B
R
Q
C
C
Q
D
B
R
B
R
C
P
A
S
A
D
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
okay,
so
the
highlighted
version.
Do
you
all
have
it
in
front
of
you?
Let's
see,
I
should
have
printed
it
here,
so
I
didn't
have
to
pull
it
up
also
electronically,
but
there
was
some
additions
under
the
public
comment
section
which
adds
district
policy
to
the
wording,
and
I
guess
I'm
I'm
just
wondering.
A
L
A
L
C
Yeah,
well,
I
I
believe
the
reason
we
came
to
this
decision
is:
we've
had
people
showing
up
at
our
board
meeting,
not
following
the
district's
policy,
in
particular,
in
terms
of
wearing
a
mask
when
you're
in
district
buildings.
So
that's
why
this
particular
sentence
was
added
in.
They
will
be
asked
to
either
comply
with
the
policy
and
put
on
a
mask
or
they'll
be
asked
to
leave
what
we
do
after
that
is
anybody's.
Guess.
A
D
Thank
you.
So
as
a
follow-up,
I'm,
I
am
just
wondering
how
does
this
then
give
you
more
authority
to
ask
them
to
leave
because
again,
if
the
policy,
if
the
policy
doesn't
follow
the
law,
I
don't
understand
how?
How
changing
this
gives
you
any
more
authority
than
you
already
have?
And
again,
I'm
asking
you
to
think
about
this
outside
of
just
one
policy,
because
you
can't
predict
necessarily
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
future.
D
So
what
if
there
is
another
policy
at
some
point
in
time
that
you
know
somebody
would
like
to
address,
but
it
would
be
deemed
as
against
district
policies.
So
to
me
it
seems
like
another
way
to
exclude
or
intimidate
and-
and
I
just
didn't
it
doesn't
land-
I
just
don't
get
it
if
it
doesn't
provide
you
any
more
authority
than
you
already
have.
L
A
D
Yeah,
I'm
just
I
again,
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
not
only
ask
for
clarification,
but
really
I'm
asking
you
to
think
about
what
I'm
asking
that
you
might
have
made
it
in
terms
of
this
one
in
terms
of
masking
right.
But
how
will
this
apply
to
other
district
policies?
I
mean
there
are
many,
and,
and
could
this
possibly
restrict
people
in
the
future?
I
don't
get
it.
D
It
doesn't
give
the
board
any
more
authority
than
they
already
have,
because
if
someone
shows
up
without
a
mask
you're
already
saying
to
them,
you're
not
following
district
policy,
please
leave
or
don't
leave.
I
mean
you
already
have
the
ability
to
ask
that,
but
you
can't
physically
remove
them,
because
it's
not
against
the
law
not
to
wear
a
mask,
and
this
doesn't
make
it
doesn't
give
you
the
ability
to
physically
remove
them
either.
A
I
I
believe-
and
I
know
jim
you
had
your
hand
up
I'd
just
like
to
say.
I
believe
that
part
of
the
reason,
at
least
from
my
standpoint,
for
adding
the
language,
is
to
provide
further
clarification
and
to
provide
greater
emphasis
that
it
is
indeed
important
to
pay
attention
to
and
to
follow
the
district's
policies
go
ahead.
Jim.
C
C
C
They
can
come
in
and
challenge
and
speak
to
any
policy
we
have,
but
we're
asking
them
to
follow
the
protocol
of
the
district
in
terms
of
the
policies
in
place
for
students,
staff
and
visitors,
including
us
board
members.
So,
as
as
rebecca
said
yeah,
it
doesn't
give
us
any
more
authority.
We
already
have
the
right
authority.
We
just
are
not
really
sure
we
want
to
go
to
trespass,
a
citizen
that
wants
to
talk
to
us.
Hopefully
this
change
will
let
those
people
know
we're
more
than
willing
to
hear
them.
R
It's
not
illegal
to
use
vulgar
or
profane
language.
So,
what's
what's
the
disconnect?
Are
you
are
you
opposed
to
that?
Are
you
opposed
to
us
not
having
vulgar
or
profane
language
as
a
thing,
because
it's
it's
it's
legal
for
me
to
use
profane
language,
so
where's,
the
I'm,
not
I'm
not
seeing
the
the
connection
between
the
illegality
of
something
and
the
fact
that
it's
our
policy,
we
have
policies
right.
There
stated
perfectly
in
black
and
white
that
aren't
illegal.

Thank
you.
On
october
1st,
I
had
my
kennedy
liaison
visit,
which
was
a
lot
of
fun.
I
took
a
tour
of
the
school,
saw,
kind
of
an
idea
of
their
numbers
for
the
year
what's
happening
in
the
building
got
a
list
of
school
events
like
some
of
their
upcoming
pta
meetings
and
their
fall
festival
which
I'll
be
excited
to
try
and
attend.
K
I
have
my
liaison
visit
schedule
with
discovery
middle
school
this
coming
monday.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
and
then,
on
october
8th
I
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
the
davies
theater
department,
cabaret
night.
They
did
the
villains
of
broadway
and
it
was
highly
entertaining
and
it
was
a
fundraiser
for
their
theater
director
miss
sorry,
which
was
very,
very
cool
of
the
students.
K
S
Thank
you,
president
knutson.
The
communications
advocacy
and
engagement
committee
is
meeting
again
this
week
and
again
moving
forward
with
our
current
scope
of
work
and
I'm
also
very
happy,
as
you
heard,
bel
kim
talk
about
with
the
fea
earlier
this
evening,
the
recess
commission
has
begun.
We've
had
our
first
meeting
and
we've
actually
planned
out
our
next
two
meetings.
S
C
A
R
On
the
fifth,
we
had
the
probably
shortest
and
least
painful
negotiation
session
by
reopening
and
and
cleaning
up
that
language
that
we'd
all
discussed
previously
and
then
on.
Yesterday
yesterday,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
take
part
in
in
the
town
hall
meeting
that
was
that
was
great,
and
then
this
morning
I
had
a
good
visit
with
eric
up
at
longfellow
and
hopefully
we'll
get
to
my
other
two
assignments
this
week.
So
that's
it
thanks.
A
L
Thank
you.
Government
affairs
committee
met
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
had
a
nice
discussion.
We
reaffirmed
our
means,
so
we
will
not
be
recommending
any
changes
to
the
board.
Are
we
are
required
to
meet
at
least
quarterly?
So
right
now
we
have
scheduled
a
january
4th
meeting
but
can
certainly
meet
sooner.
Alexis
baxley
from
north
dakota
school
works
association
will
be
our
guest
to
explain
some
of
the
current
interim
activities
there.
It
was.
L
There
was
a
suggestion
to
include
and
nikki
this
might
be,
for
you
with
our
social
with
the
city
and
parks.
A
topic
to
discuss
might
be
extra
territorial
zoning
and
then
also
discuss
was
we
are
watching
closely
as
house
bill
1356
rolls
out,
and
that
is
the
major
funding
formula
bill
approved
in
the
last
session.
L
L
That
really
was
a
negotiation
piece
to
ensure
that
our
state
school
districts
would
would
get
a
one
in
a
one
increase
over
the
next
two
years,
so
that
was
negotiated
through
the
legislative
process.
But
jim.
Please
keep
an
eye
on
that
and
hopefully
you
can
guide
the
governmental
affairs
committee
on
how
to
move
through
that
in
upcoming
sessions,
and
I
believe
that
is
all
thank
you.
L
O
Yeah
last
friday
I
was
able
to
do
some
visits.
I
started
with
the
fargo
adult
learning
center,
with
jennifer
free
and
she's
doing
a
lot
of
cool
things
there.
With
the
adult
learning.
I
didn't
realize
how
many
countries
are
involved
with
the
different
people
and
things
tomorrow.
There's
going
to
be
a
workforce
wednesday
where
they're
going
to
ndscs
is
coming
out
and
the
samford
is
also
coming
out
for
these
people
to
get
jobs
potential
jobs
while
they're
going
to
school.
O
Then
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
fargo
north
and
get
this
wonderful
sweatshirt
at
the
student
shop.
It's
always
fun
to
go
in
there
and
visit
with
the
students
as
they're
working
and
it's
an
awesome
sweatshirt.
I'm
telling
you
what
it
is
heavy.
It's
probably
one
of
the
best
sweatshirts
I've
ever
owned.
O
I
visited
with
travis
christensen:
they're
gonna
have
their
the
home,
the
home
they're
building,
it's
gonna,
be
the
first
homes
for
humanity,
home
that
to
ever
go
there,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
thought
that
was
cool
in
our
visit
was
how
he
said.
The
kids
are
telling
him
that
and
the
rest
of
the
staff
how
normal
the
school
year
school
year
feels
for
them.
O
P
Okay,
I
I
may
be
caught
10
minutes
of
this
meeting.
My
my
internet
apparently
is
unstable
and
I
I'm
getting
really
really
tired.
I
hope
that
we
can
very
soon
meet
in
person
that
this
zoom
is
not
working,
but
I
heard
none
of
the
comments
that
were
made
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
I
heard
none
of
the
I
heard
nothing
about
barr.
I
heard
very,
very
little
of
mizar's
presentation
and
it's
just
it's
impossible
to
to
follow
a
meeting
if
you're
you're
at
the
mercy
of
the
internet.
P
Pause
us
and
remember
our
board
responsibilities,
and
one
of
our
board
responsibilities
is
to
respect
each
other.
During
the
last
two
meetings,
I
have
been
sarcastically
offered
condolences
by
one
member.
I
have
been
told
by
the
same
board
member
tonight
essentially
to
to
shut
up,
because
I
am
trying
to
speak
for
the
members
who
are
contacting
me
by
email.
That
is
not
the
way
we
are
supposed
to
act
as
board
members.
I
am
here
not
representing
myself,
I'm
here
representing
the
people
who
elected
me
and
when
they
reach
out
to
me
via
email.
A
Thank
you,
david
on
yesterday,
I
spent
most
of
the
day
celebrating
indigenous
people's
day.
I
attended
a
few
zoom
sessions
that
were
at
ndsu
and
on
a
variety
of
topics.
One
of
the
topics
had
to
do
with
trafficking
human
trafficking,
and
last
evening
I
went
to
the
pow
wow
that
was
at
moorhead.
High
school
had
some
awesome
fry
bread
and
I
got
myself
onto
the
floor
and
danced
in
the
circle,
and
it
feels
really
good
and
it
is
a
very
healthy,
healthy
process.
