Okay

add
the
hr
addendum
to
that
folks,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
yes,
yes,
same
side
motion
passes,
I'm
mentioning
a
couple
of
items
here
before
we
get
started.
Jim
is
on
the
phone
with
us
this
evening,
seth
indicated
that
he
was
not
going
to
be
able
to
be
here.
I
haven't
heard
from
robin
she
might
be
walking
in
still
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
recognition
of
audience
portion
of
the
agenda.
A
Five
individuals
have
signed
up
to
speak
with
us
this
evening.
At
this
time
the
board
will
hear
comments
from
the
public.
We
ask
that
each
speaker
who
has
signed
up
to
address
the
board
state
their
name
and
home
school
district
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.
The
board
is
interested
in
your
comments
and
will
listen
carefully,
but
is
not
obligated
to
respond
or
debate
issues
in
this
forum.
A
Should
you
desire
a
written
response
to
a
specific
question?
You
may
request
it
this
evening.
Each
speaker
will
be
allotted
a
maximum
of
three
minutes
upon
conclusion
of
the
allotted
time.
A
chime
will
sound
and
the
speaker
will
be
asked
to
conclude
if
necessary.
A
final
time
will
sound
15
seconds
later,
signifying
the
end
of
the
speaker's
time
at
the
podium,
and
now
I
will
call
to
the
the
podium
the
first
person
signed
up
and
that's
chris
anderson.
D
How
did
millions
of
people
die
in
the
spanish
flu
of
1918?
Well,
it
actually
turns
out
that
it
actually
wasn't.
The
flu
after
graves
were
exhumed.
It
was
learned
that
bacterial
pneumonia
was
a
main
cause
of
death,
which
is
now
linked
back
to
extensive,
mask.
Wearing
no
entity.
Has
the
authority
to
force
another
human
being
against
their
will
to
wear
a
mask
or
take
any
experimental
injection.
Voluntary
consent
was
the
reason
that
the
nuremberg
codes
were
actually
created
after
world
war
ii.
They
promised
all
citizens
protection,
human
rights
and
foreknowledge
against
deception.
D
If
these
rights
are
violated,
they
can
be
categorized
as
a
crime
against
humanity
punishable
by
death
and
because
of
what
we've
gone
through
in
the
last
two
years
with
kovid
a
second
nuremberg,
trial.
2.0
is
already
underway
in
parts
of
the
world
and
as
we
speak,
whether
you
realize
it
or
not,
we
are
repeating
history.
D
Forcing
someone
to
wear
a
mask
against
their
will
is
criminal.
I
don't
know
if
you
realize
that
you
have
been
restricting
a
child's
airway.
The
pcr
test
is
a
fraud.
It
doesn't
work.
It's
a
sham,
even
the
inventor
of
the
pcr
test,
kerry
mullis
said
himself
that
it
doesn't
tell
you,
if
you're
sick,
that
you
can
make
the
the
pcr
test.
Do
what
you
want
it
to
do
by
just
manipulating
it.
Mueller
said
it
was
never
designed
to
test
for
a
virus,
so
it's
being
used
outside
of
its
parameters.
D
D
If
it's
cass
county
public
health,
you
go
to
look
for
that's
very
questionable
as
well.
After
thousands
of
fargo
citizens
voted
for
the
removal
of
certain
school
board
members
last
summer,
because
you
guys
were
mandated
masks,
you
still
didn't
get
it
once
the
veil
is
lifted
and
the
truth
comes
out
about
this
whole
thing.
You
guys
are
going
to
be
held
responsible
for
mask
for
for
mass
against
the
children.
D
E
I
appreciate
the
responses
that
I
received
my
question
from
my
questions
at
the
november
23rd
meeting,
but
this
is
a
question
that
it,
but
there
is
a
question
that
was
not
directly
answered.
I
have
repeatedly
requested
information
about
who
are
the
specific
individuals
stated
as
fargo
cast
public
health?
You
are
in
violation
of
north
dakota
century
code,
44-04-170.
E
Subsection
9a,
which
states
the
public's
right
to
observe
and
monitor
the
performance
of
governmental
functions
through
the
attendance
at
public
meetings,
applies
to
all
stages
of
the
decision-making
process.
From
gathering
information
to
deliberating
to
making
a
final
decision
end
quote
again,
I
am
formally
requesting
for
information
about
who,
specifically
as
a
part
of
these
meetings
where
these
decisions
are
being
made
and
when
the
meetings
are
taking
place.
According
to
open
meeting
laws,
you
are
required
to
have
them
open
to
the
public.
E
E
Obviously,
you
have
not
listened
to
all
of
my
specific
examples
of
how
teachers,
policing
mass
has
impacted
my
children,
so
I
will
give
you
yet
another
example.
I
received
an
email
stating
that
a
teacher
spoke
to
my
child
six
times
in
the
first
15
minutes
of
a
class
about
putting
his
mask
over
his
nose.
E
E
Clearly,
teachers
being
mass
police
is
interfering
with
their
ability
to
teach
and
students
ability
to
learn
again.
I
am
formally
requesting
a
response
to
the
question.
How
are
you
managing
in
the
situation
of
teachers
being
taken
away
from
their
job
responsibilities,
of
teaching
to
believe
to
be
policing,
children
wearing
mass?
E
I
am
formally
requesting
how
the
school
district
is
making
a
determination
of
what
medical
issues
they
are
addressing
within
the
school.
You
have
continued
to
put
a
mask
on
my
children
without
my
consent.
Even
overriding
a
note
from
a
doctor,
I
am
formally
formally
requesting
to
know
what
authority
you
are
using
to
make
decisions
without
my
consent,
especially
ones
that
go
against
recommendations
from
my
child's
medical
doctor.
How
is
it
that
it
makes
sense
for
you
to
be
setting
up
vaccine
clinics
in
the
school,
which
is
clearly
a
medical
treatment?
E
A
F
Hello
cassie
schmidt
with
the
group:
let
parents
decide
that
again,
I'm
representing
over
2000
parents
last
lap
at
the
last
meeting.
Excuse
me.
I
had
asked
a
question
of
the
board
specifically
rebecca
to
please
explain
formally
how
fargo
public
school
district
relates
to
the
shakopee
minnesota
public
school
district
and
why
we
should
take
fargo
relating
to
shakopee
over
fargo
relating
to
west
fargo.
I
still
have
not
received
a
response
to
that
question,
and
members
of
my
group
are
are
waiting
on
that.
So
I
would
appreciate
that.
F
Secondly,
I
wanted
to
ask
some
further
questions
of
the
board
on
the
screening
and
testing
protocols
that
the
fargo
public
schools
has
put
in
place
and
how
those
protocols
are
paid
for.
We
have
some
information
that
they've
been
paid
for
through
use
of
an
elc
64
grant.
Now,
as
far
as
this
grant,
we
haven't
seen
that
that
has
come
through
the
full
board,
so
we're
wondering
who
specifically
was
responsible
for
for
acceptance
of
this
grant,
we're
wondering
what
the
allocation
has
been
so
far
of
these
funds.
G
G
The
first
part
says
a
side.
Long
look
will
be
enough
to
tell
him
to
smoke
on
the
back.
Porch
children
will
sense
instantly
that
they
cannot
come
into
her
yard
to
retrieve
a
ball,
but
the
men
do
not
know
these
things
not
do
they
know
that
she
will
give
him
her
body
sparingly
and
partially.
He
must
enter
her
surreptitiously
lifting
the
hennema
of
her
nightgown
only
to
her
navel.
G
While
he
moves
inside
her,
she
will
wonder
why
they
didn't
put
the
necessary
private
parts
on
the
body
in
some
more
convenient
place
like
the
armpit
some
place,
one
could
get
too
easily
and
quickly
without
undressing
and
dressing.
She
stiffens
when
she
feels
one
of
her
paper
curlers
coming
undone
from
the
activity
of
love.
G
She
hopes
she
will
not.
He
will
not
sweat
the
damp
may
get
into
her
hair
and
that
she
will
remain
dry
between
her
legs.
She
hates
the
glucking
sound
they
make
when
she
is
moist.
She
then
senses
some
spasm
about
to
grip
him.
She
will
make
rapid
movements
with
her
hips
press
her
fingernails
into
his
back
suck
in
her
breath
and
pretend
she
is
having
an
orgasm.
She
might
wonder
again
for
the
600th
time
what
it
would
be
like
to
have
that
feeling,
while
her
husband's
p
is
p,
p
word
is
inside
her.
G
G
G
Then
later
in
the
book,
it
talks
about
the
dad
raping
his
ten-year-old
daughter.
It
says
he
found
her
in
the
kitchen.
She
lost
her
balance.
He
raised
his
other
hand
to
her
hips
to
save
her
from
falling.
He
put
her
head
down
and
nibbled
at
the
back
of
her
legs.
He
closed
his
eyes,
letting
his
fingers
dig
into
her
waist.
G
Then
he
was
confused.
A
bolt
of
desire
ran
down
his
genitals,
giving
him
length
and
softening
the
lips
of
his
anus
surrounding
all
of
this
lust
was
a
border
of
politeness.
He
wanted
to
f
her
tenderly,
but
the
tenderness
would
not
hold
the
tightness
of
her
v
was
more
than
he
could
bear.
His
soul
seemed
to
slip
down
to
his
guts
and
fly
out
into
her
and
the
gigantic
thrust
he
made
into
her.
Then
perfect.
Thank
you,
sound
victoria
johnson.
Is
this
a
child?
You
would
a
book.
H
Thank
you.
My
name
is
victoria
johnson.
About
a
couple
weeks
ago,
I
sent
an
email
to
the
administration
asking
questions
regarding
the
vaccination
clinic,
that's
coming
in
our
school
system,
and
I
specifically
ask:
how
are
the
new
americans,
who
have
language
barrier
and
reading
barrier?
How
are
they
getting
to
understand
what
is
going
to
be
taking
place
and
how
do
they
understand?
H
So
my
question
is:
do
I
need
to
start
asking
fellow
kids
public
health
for
every
question
that
relates
to
our
school,
our
children
within
our
school
district?
Because,
if
that's
the
case
and
then
I
need
that
clearly
so
that
way,
I
can
start
asking
any
question
and
decisions
that
are
getting
made
inside
the
school
system
by
fargo
public
cast.
I
can
start
asking
them
instead
of
asking
our
school
administration,
so
that
really
concerns
me
when
I
receive
that
kind
of
vague
response,
because
a
lot
of
those
families
don't
know
how
to
read.
H
We
help
families
in
our
office
to
fill
our
papers
for
jobs
for
a
lot
of
stuff
they
need.
They
cannot
read,
but
yet
you're
sending
an
application
at
home
and
expect
them
to
sign
a
form
to
consent
for
their
children
to
receive
a
vaccination
that
they
have
no
idea,
probably
what
they're
signing
so
that
really
I
would
like
to
have.
I
want
to
see
the
process
and
how
that's
getting
communicated.
H
H
In
a
school
system
where
you
have
a
most
of
the
teachers
are
white,
we
live
in
a
state,
that's
82
is
a
white
population,
and
then
you
have
a
book,
that's
so
sexually
implicit
and
it's
something
that's
done
to
a
black
woman.
I
was
so
disgusted.
I
was
so
angry.
I
called
the
school
and
I
talked
to
administration
and
they
tried
to
explain
to
me.
This
is
literature.
A
I
Well,
good
evening,
thank
you
for
having
me
happy
new
year,
everyone.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
to
give
you
just
a
brief
update
about.
What's
going
on
with
the
foundation,
I'm
going
to
jump,
I
think
you
have
I'll
have
a
handout
or
a
report
that
you
received
earlier,
I'm
going
to
jump
right
to
page
4,
which
gives
you
kind
of
the
impacts
at
a
glance
for
the
year.
I
I
What
that
really
is
when,
when
donors
give
us
specific
funds
for
programs
and
and
projects
at
schools,
we
pass
those
on
through
to
the
school,
as
well
as
helping
out
trollwood
as
the
nonprofit
arm
for
them
and
then
another
good
example.
There
is
the,
for
example,
the
davies
turf
fund
were
able
to
help
them
out
and
help
them.
So
that's
kind
of
what
that
pot
makes
up
jumping
over
the
next
page.
We
have
a
more
detailed
snapshot
of
innovative
ed,
music
and
literacy
grants.
I
You
can
see
that
language,
arts
and
literacy-
that's
usually
the
largest
one
due
to
eleanor
lang
law
grant,
which
is
our
biggest
pot
of
money
that
we
distribute
out.
As
far
as
grants
go
this
current
school
year.
This
past
october,
we
awarded
nine
innovative,
ed
and
music
grants
totaling
ten
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
seven
dollars
and
are
currently
right.
Now,
there's
two
grant
rounds
open
the
february
innovative
ed
grant,
which
is
due
february
first
and
the
eleanor
lang
law.
Literacy
grant
application
is
open
until
march
31st.
I
I
This
year
we
made
a
few
graphs
which
is
kind
of
boring,
but
we
found
it
pretty
interesting
kind
of
how
the
first
graph
shows
how
scholarships
are
distributed
via
school.
The
second
one
is
the
post-secondary
institution
that
they
went
to,
and
you
can
see
that
four-year
is
far
and
away
the
largest
for
for
this
year.
I
Academic
gets
skewed
pretty
greatly
because
of
dollars
for
scholars,
so
that
one
is
is
skewed
based
on
that,
and
then
we
looked
at
attendance
by
state
and
you
can
see
as
well
that
minnesota
and
north
dakota
kind
of
win
that
battle
too.
We
also
operate
the
fargo
area
dollars
for
scholars
program.
We
were
able
to
give
out
55
000
scholarships
this
past
year.
I
I
I
should
also
point
out
the
employee
campaign
has
been
a
huge
success,
the
last
two
years
and
a
lot
of
those
funds
you'll
see
in
this
graph
and
we're
just
so
grateful
for
for
all
the
things
that
fargo
public
schools
teachers
staff
do
for
for
the
kids
and
families
in
our
district.
I
think
we're
pretty
blessed
to
have
that
happening.
I
Another
thing
I
should
point
out
with
critical
needs
funds
and
with
grant
dollars.
That's
a
lot
of
money
flowing
from
us
to
the
district
and
I'd
be
remiss.
If
I
didn't
thank
jackie
and
her
team,
they
really
get
those
funds
out
quickly
and
easily.
So
it
really
gives
us
a
good
story
to
tell
donors
to
say
your
funds
are
coming
right
to
us
and
making
an
immediate
impact.
So
thank
you.
We
really
appreciate
your
help.
It
makes
a
big
difference.
I
Oh
don't
forget,
giving
hearts
days
a
month
away,
we'll
be
participating
again.
It's
on
february
10th
we've
secured
25
000
dollars
in
match.
15
000
of
that
this
year
is
from
hayley's
milk
run,
which
supports
the
milk
and
elementary
snack
program.
So
we're
happy
to
say
we
can
put
that
money
out
there
they've,
let
graciously.
Let
us
do
that
to
kind
of
double
their
hard
work,
so
I'm
sure
you'll
get
lots
of
information
from
us
and
lots
there's
just
lots
of
great
opportunities
on
giving
hearts
today.
I
She
also
created
published
three
alumni
newsletters
and
is
currently
currently
working
with
four
more
so
we
just
think
an
investment
into
our
alumni
is
really
going
to
make
an
impact
in
the
growth
of
the
foundation.
So
we're
grateful
for
that
opportunity
adopt
a
school
partners,
the
pandemic's
limited
somewhat,
but
we've
kept
in
contact
and
it's
growing
and
we
have
21
partners
we're
happy
to
say
that
the
district
office
is
a
partner
with
her
with
their
neighbor
hawthorne
they've
already
done
some
fun
things
with
them.
I
They've
helped
with
winter
weather
year,
drive
and
helped
with
some
volunteer
opportunities.
So
that's
that's
been
fun.
Recently,
heat
transfer
warehouse,
which
has
been
a
really
significant
partner,
was
honored
with
the
2021
corporate
leader
in
philanthropy
award
from
the
association
of
fundraising
professionals.
I
So
we
were
so
happy
that
they
were
nominated
and
received
that
because
their
impact,
not
only
at
mckinley
with
with
their
time
and
their
talent,
their
treasure,
but
they're,
also
helping
across
the
district
with
a
variety
of
things.
So
we're
just
really
grateful
for
those
kinds
of
relationships
and
the
connection
it
has
for
kids.
I
Another
example
you
can
see
is
kind
of
how
the
reverse
of
the
adopt-a-school
program
works.
Where
businesses
families
organizations
come
in
and
help
schools,
but
students
also
reach
out
and
help
those
businesses,
and
they
were
just
giving
a
gifts
of
thanksgiving
for
essential
workers
over
at
essentia,
which
is
one
of
the
adopted
school
partners
for
ed
claps.
So
that's
just
a
great
great
example
of
how
I
think
important.
That
program
is
connecting
adults
and
children
and
and
seeing
those
other
caring
adults
in
their
lives.
I
This
past
fall.
We
did
what
we
called
a
game
day
on
event,
and
you
may
have
received
that
in
the
mail
we
sent
out
a
concession
stand
theme
with
some
popcorn
and
it
was
a
little
kitschy,
but
it
was
fun.
We
had
a
good
time
doing
it.
We
had
we,
we
had
fun
sending
it
out
and
within
that
we
also
had
you
know,
watch
this
video,
so
I'm
going
to
play
that
to
end
it
because
it's
I
am
not
as
boring
as
me.
I'll
just
end
it
with
that.
H
K
These
scholarships
have
really
given
me
the
chance
to
really
grow
my
academic
interests
and
also
allowed
me
to
see
who
I
really
want
to
be
when
I
move
into
my
professional
career
after
college.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
north
dakota
dollars
for
scholars.
I'm
really
excited,
and
I
hope
that
other
students
apply
to
this
amazing
scholarship
because
you
can
benefit
from
it.
Just
as
I.
B
Probably
both
thank
you
becky
and
corey
for
all
of
your
work.
The
growth
of
this
organization
over
a
very
short
period
of
time
is
is
remarkable.
I,
it
is
a
joy
to
work
with
you
and
becky
on
several
projects.
I
do
have
a
question
because
board
members
at
least
I
do
I
get
off
asked.
Often
we
have
some
money
to
donate.
We
want
to
donate
it
to
fargo
public
schools
and-
and
I
tend
to
steer
them
towards
the
critical
needs
program.
Can
donors
designate
within
critical
needs
or
is
it?
I
No,
they
they
can
designate
within
that
happens.
Often,
we've
had
several
large
donations
go
to
specific
schools
per
donor's
wishes
a
lot.
Often
it's
alumni
have
an
elementary
school.
So
if
they
say
we
want
to
give
500
to
the
milken
elementary
snack
program
at
edclap,
that's
where
the
money
gets
sent.
Okay,
thanks
to
jackie,
helping
us
out
with
that.
Okay,
that's
a
good
example
of
that.
I
M
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
with
us
becky.
I
have
the
honor
and
privilege
to
be
the
board
liaison
to
the
fps
foundation
and
it's
really
been
a
joy,
and
I
really
have
an
appreciation
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
love
to
see
this
program
growing
because
it
fills
so
many
holes
and
needs.
So
thank
you
for
all
you
and
corey
do.
L
I'm
gonna
robin.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I'm
actually
gonna
answer
this
as
a
board
member's
perspective,
not
as
the
superintendent,
but
I
know,
nikki
serves
as
a
board
representative
on
the
fps
foundation
board
as
well,
and
one
of
the
commitments
that
we
made
recently
was
just
as
we
approach
giving
heart
stay
and
just
letting
our
community
know,
though
there
is
the
opportunity
to
to
encumber
certain
funds
and
donations
for
specific
projects.
L
A
general
donation
is
also
always
welcome
for
the
fps
foundation.
Corey
and
becky
do
a
phenomenal
job
of
running
and
administering
the
foundation.
In
fact,
they
are
also
helping
out
with
the
development
of
foundations
for
other
school
districts
and
are
often
a
go-to
resource,
but
you
know
sometimes
the
challenge
with
targeted
funds
is
that
it
doesn't
allow
for
the
administration
to
be
able
to
continue
at
the
high
level
that
they
do
as
well.
L
So,
on
behalf
of
the
foundation,
one
of
the
commitments
that
we
made
is
that
we
were
going
to
try
to
promote
the
opportunity
for
individuals,
although
they
can
continue
to
either
donate
towards
specific
programs,
but
also
make
a
general
donation
as
well
to
the
foundation
for
to
help
cover
the
administrative
costs.
Thank
you.

N
N
Ap
6061
requires
an
investigation
through
the
hr
department
and
ends
with
their
findings,
while
ap
5220
does
not
require
an
investigation
and
follows
levels,
one
through
four
outlined
in
the
policy.
The
administration
and
the
school
board
handles
the
decision.
We
believe
that
ap
6061
should
have
only
one
and
should
have
only
investigated
the
bullying
concerns,
while
ap
5220,
to
look
at
the
other
policy
violations
that
were
mentioned
in
our
complaint.
N
In
addition
to
this,
when
a
teacher
or
support
staff
member
violate
any
policy
but
specifically
ap
52
55
staff
conduct
or
ap
5116
employee
speech,
there
is
no
investigation
of
the
truth.
Staff
are
given
a
letter
of
reprimand
and
can
attach
a
rebuttal
if
they
choose.
Why
was
this
process
different
for
administration?
N
N
Now
imagine
being
in
an
elementary
school
in
an
open
classroom,
doorway
in
front
of
a
child
while
the
rest
of
the
students
and
their
teacher
are
just
down
the
hall
and
your
supervisor
yells.
Both
parties
have
agreed
to
this
being
said
carol
get
out
of
here.
I
cannot
even
look
at
you
carol
no
get
out
of
here
now.
I
need
you
to
get
out
of
here
before
I
say
or
do
something
to
you.
I
may
regret
later
that
day
this
child
tells
carol
get
out.
N
Did
you
ask
yourself?
How
can
that
be?
You
bet
we
have.
We
understand
you
are
not
going
to
decide
the
outcome,
the
outcome
made
by
this
administration
if
it
was
correct
or
not,
we
are
hoping.
You
have
a
discussion
with
your
cabinet
about
the
importance
of
policy
decisions
being
consistent
for
all
staff.
N
N
N
I've
also
listened
to
the
governance
meeting
from
december.
Second,
twenty
twenty
one,
I'm
very
concerned
with
this
discussion
I
heard
from
the
school
attorney
and
some
school
board
members.
It
was
stated
that
they
want
any
employee
removed
from
ap
5220
and
have
only
people
under
the
negotiated
agreement.
N
N
N
N
A
L
A
couple
of
things
this
evening,
one
just
a
reminder
to
all
the
board
members
that
this
thursday
evening
will
be
our
annual
state
of
the
schools
and
public
focus
group.
We
look
forward
to
the
state
of
the
school's
address
for
those
individuals
that
have
been
signed
up
to
attend
the
public
focus
group.
This
year
we
are
going
to
start
the
process
of
soliciting
feedback
to
do
a
comprehensive
renewal
of
our
strategic
plan.
L
This
will
be
the
first
of
a
multi-step
process,
I'll
be
used
to
get
different
feedbacks
from
different
stakeholders
on
how
what
our
strategic
plan
will
look
like,
which
is
essentially
serves
as
our
long-range
five-year
plan
for
fargo
public
schools.
So,
based
on
that
feedback
and
going
through
several
different
iterations
and
process
to
receive
patron
feedback,
we
will
then
present
a
new
strategic
plan.
Next
fall
when
we
do
our
annual
strategic
plan
renewal.
So
we
look
forward
to
that
event
as
well.
L
All
of
our
staff
are
are
going
above
and
beyond
to
cover
classrooms.
We
have
individuals
that
are
in
certain
roles
at
this
point
in
time
that
are
giving
up
multiple
days
of
their
duty
for
their
assigned
role
to
be
able
to
cover
classrooms.
At
this
point
in
time,
we
have
several
administrators
or
individuals
from
the
district
office
that
are
covering
classes
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
looking
at
even
a
more
comprehensive
approach,
potentially
for
everyone
in
the
district
office.
L
That
has
a
teaching
license
to
see
what
we
could
do
to
assist
and
help
out
with
the
sub-crisis
as
well.
So
just
if
information
comes
sometimes
we
don't
know
until
the
day
of
or
until
the
night
before
that
we
have
some
significant
shortages,
but
I
do
want
the
board
just
to
be
aware
of
that
as
well.
So
that's
it
for
my
superintendent
report
today.
A
O
L
I
I
don't
know
if
doug
has
the
answer
to
some
of
the
data
about
the
comparison
to
how
much
coverage
is
needed.
I
do
know
that
there
is
less
availability
of
subs
is
one
of
the
primary
factors
with
the
arp
esser
funds
that
the
district
has
been
given.
We've
actually
taken
an
approach
to
hire
more
long-term
subs
and
to
incentivize
more
subs
as
well,
but
we
are
continuing
to
see
that
as
an
issue.
So
just
the
lack
of
availability
of
subs
is
a
one
of
the
factors
that's
been
shared
with
me.
P
And
I
don't
have
specific
numbers,
but
the
the
issue
really
is
two-fold:
where
we've
we've
had
an
issue
with
recruiting,
probably
the
amount
of
subs
that
we
actually
need
over
the
last
couple
years,
but
that's
really
been
exacerbated
by
extra
absences
due
to
covet
so
right
now
we
have,
I
think,
31
long-term
subs.
They
cover
every
student
contact
day.
That's
part
of
the
agreement
with
us,
we're
actually
looking
to
recruit
40
and
we
use
esser
dollars
to
do
that.
P
But
we're
really
at
a
point
right
now,
where
we've
topped
out
it's
hard
to
find
those
subs
that
want
to
come
in
and
work,
we're
really
at
a
point
now
where
it's
they
are
unavailable,
but
the
other
piece
of
it
is
as
we've
topped
out
and
as
it
is
a
little
bit
harder
to
find
the
subs.
Our
absences
have
increased
due
to
covet
and
other
types
of
illnesses
too.
So
we
have
that
bigger
gap
that
keeps
widening,
but
you
know
we're
doing
the
best
that
we
can
to
try
to
increase
our
long-term
subs.
A
P
So
any
long-term
sub
that
signs
an
agreement
with
us
they
get
prorated
leave,
they
would
be
eligible
for
medical
insurance
and
then
they're
placed
on
the
teacher's
salary
schedule
so
that
minimum
amount
ba
step-
3,
I
believe,
is
about
228
and
they're
placed
based
on
like
any
other
contracted
teacher,
would
be
so
their
degree
and
then
their
relevant
years
of
experience.
So
it
can
be
a
minimum
of
228
ba
step.
3.,
I
think
ma4520
is
around
450..
P
P
that
aligns
with
our
districts
that
are
alongside
both
of
us
and
then
we
do
offer
incentives.
Every
time
a
daily
sub
teacher
works.
I
believe
it's
12
days.
They
receive
an
extra
130
dollars.
We
also
have
a
sub-para
bonus
built
into
every
12
days.
They'll
receive
an
extra
45
dollars,
so
we've
built
in
and
layered
those
bonuses
really
try
to
to
try
to
attract
more
offered.
O
I
brought
this
up
before
and
I
I
know
that
this
is
a
problem,
that's
shared
by
by
west
fargo
and
moorhead
as
well,
but
for
years
and
years
we've
had
this
so-called
gentleman's
agreement
where
west
fargo,
moorhead
and
fargo
all
pay
the
same,
and
I
brought
it
up
before
I
empathize
with
the
problems
that
west
fargo
and
morehead
have
about
covering
their
classrooms.
But
this
board's
priority
is
the
fargo
school
system.
I
do
not
understand
why
we're
not
offering
more
money.
O
If
we
up
that
to
me
to
175,
maybe
we'd
attract
more
people,
we're
we're
willing
to
pay
anywhere.
I
think
I
understood
you
say
anywhere
between
225
to
450
per
day
for
these
long-term
subs.
Why
can't
we
boost
this
up
to
175,
see
if
we
can
attract
some
of
these
people
who
can
go
to
mcdonald's?
I
think
it's
been
stated
at
17
an
hour.
O
I
I
don't
understand.
You
know
it's,
it's
wonderful,
that
that
we're
we're
concerned
about
west
fargo
and
morehead
being
able
to
fill
their
positions,
but
this
board's
concern
is
fargo
and
I
I
would
like
to
see
us
doing
more
to
try
and
fill
our
slots
and
I've.
I've
said
this
on
a
number
of
times.
I
believe.
L
Yeah,
just
I
believe
and
I'll
send
it
back
as
well.
We've
had
this
conversation
in
the
past
as
well,
and
we
have
the
incentives
that
doug
talked
about
that
are
layered
in
those
have
been
mapped
out
in
comparison
to
other
other
professions
and
also
taking
and
also
taking
a
look
at
what
we
are
able
to
do.
When
you
take
a
look
at
the
duties,
the
amount
of
time
the
subs
are
working
and
then
you
know
even
the
12
days,
incentives
that
that
has
been
mapped
out.
L
I
know
we
had
this
conversation
last
year
as
well,
and
some
of
that
information
was
shared,
but
we
are
trying
to
use
that
even
with
long-term
subs,
I
mean
even
being
able
to
just
fill
all
the
long-term
subs
that
we
have
at
that.
Increased
rate
has
has
presented
some
challenges
too.
So
it's
not
just
the
compensation.
Unfortunately,.
A
A
I
suppose
that
would
go
to
planning
if
I,
if
we
need
to
advance
the
conversation,
if
you're
wondering
why
some
of
us
are
smiling
up
here
and
kind
of
chuckling
a
little
bit
someone,
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
phone
or
if
it's
a
computer,
but
if
there's
some
digging
or
some
messaging
or
something
that's
coming
through.
So
if
if
we
have
the
way
to
mute,
our
phones
or
our
computers,
that
would
be
great.
I
tried
to
mute
mine
any
rate.
That's
what's
going
on
up
here.
A
A
Is
there
a
second
second
second
by
dr
newman,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying?
Yes,
yes,
yes
opposed
same
sign
all
right.
The
consent
agenda
is
approved.
Thank
you.
Let's
see,
we
have
not
been
meeting
for
quite
an
hour.
Are
we
okay
to
keep
moving
all
right,
jim
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
virtually
if
you,
if
you
need
to
share
something
with
us?
The
next
portion
of
the
agenda
is
the
business
section
board.
A
Compensation
is
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
and
that
does
come
through
the
governance
committee
as
as
described
in
that
memo
annually.
The
board
needs
to
take
this
topic
up
to
align
with
our
policies.
There
is
we
can
take
action
on
this
topic.
We
also
do
not
need
to
take
action
on
this
topic.
It's
our
responsibility
to
bring
it
to
them
to
the
meeting
annually
so
board.
A
A
A
Thank
you.
We
will
move
on
to
the
second
item,
then,
on
the
business
agenda,
and
that
is
regarding
capital
projects
and
finance.
It's
memo
71.
There
are
two
items
listed
underneath
that
ecsc
and
north
high
track
and
then
locker
rooms
and
a
pretty
extensive
memo
that
went
along
with
this
business
item.
Dr
gandhi,
I
see
your
hand
up.
L
L
For
example,
the
north
high
track
is
a
opportunity
project
that
was
created
when
we
recognized
that
we
were
unable
to
be
able
to
use
the
ndsu
facilities
that
we
have
in
a
similar
fashion
that
we
have
in
the
past.
What
we
are
looking
for
from
administration
is
really
the
ability
to
prioritize
which
projects
are
important
and
how
we
want
to
fund
these
projects.
L
So
then
we
can
create
our
long-range
plans
and
then
move
forward.
Accordingly,
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
projects
in
the
memo.
That's
been
presented
to
you
and
you
have
some
information
as
well.
However,
at
the
time
that
this
memo
was
created
for
the
public
posting
of
this
meeting,
we
were
still
waiting
on
some
information
from
our
consultants
to
be
able
to
take
a
look
at
our
bonding
capacity.
L
That
information
has
since
then
been
shared
with
us,
so
that
is
available
today
at
your
stations.
I
have
included
the
thread
between
jackie
and
the
consultant
and
then
also
jackie's
email
to
me
in
preparation
for
today's
email
board
meeting
that
will
tell
you
what
the
potential
scenarios
are
along
with
where
administration
stands
at
this
point,
so
just
to
kind
of
highlight
that
there
really
are
four
pieces
of
information.
The
first
potential
scenario
would
be
to
bond
for
the
ecsc
edition
and
then
pay
for
the
track.
This
would
take
down
our
fund
balance.
L
The
second
would
be
to
bond,
for
both.
There
is
a
potential
for
moving
forward
with
all
three
projects
through
bonding
for
two
of
them
and
then
paying
for
one.
However,
we
do
feel
that
an
administration
and
jackie
specifically
does
feel
that
that
would
limit
our
capacity
for
future
schools,
and
that
is
something
that
we
have
talked
about.
L
That
may
become
a
need,
especially
at
the
elementary
level
or
even
at
the
secondary
level,
so
really
you're
looking
at
three
projects,
but
it's
important
to
know
that
these
projects
need
to
be
contextualized
with
some
of
the
conversations
that
we've
had
at
the
previous
work
session.
What
we
want
to
develop
for
our
long-range
plan
as
well
and
then
also
just
the
basic
upkeep
of
our
facilities,
that
is
part
of
our
annual
plan
as
well.
So
that
is
just
an
introduction
to
the
memo.
L
A
A
J
O
J
Whether
or
not
we
would
like
to
add
in
either
the
hvac
and
or
the
locker
room
remodel
at
this
point
in
time
too
now
I
unfortunately
cannot
see
the
the
bonding
information,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
I'm
hopeful
that
jackie,
if
she's
there
isn't
going
to,
let
us
spend
any
money.
That's
going
to
put
us
in
a
situation
where
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
bond
in
the
future
for
an
elementary
building,
if
needed.
J
B
Q
Q
That
would
be
so
blake
has
about
two
million
dollars
that
he
has
annually
to
do
deferred
maintenance
throughout
the
district,
but
the
remainder
since
these
are
large
projects
would
have
to
be
funded
through
the
building
fund.
Unless
you
would
choose,
I
guess
another
option
to
spend
fund
balance
on
a
project
from
the
general
fund.
R
You,
I
believe
I
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
I
just
think
it's
important.
We
discuss
it
publicly.
So
can
someone
walk
me
through
why
why
the
davies
high
school
had
to
fundraise
to
get
their
new
turf,
but
we
can
now
use
these
dollars
to
pay
for
the
north
high
track.
Is
that
because,
okay,
you
wanna,
go
thank,
go
ahead.
L
Yeah
the
turf
project
at
north,
south
and
davies
fargo
public
schools
has
always
been
we've
been
extremely
fortunate
for
some
community
and
private
fundraising.
That's
allowed
those
projects
to
occur
that
has
essentially
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
been
viewed
as
an
upgrade
opportunity.
The
football
field
existed
on
natural
grass.
The
turf
was
an
additional
experience
and
that's
why
it
wasn't
prioritized
with
comparison
to
these
things.
L
We're
talking
about
actually
just
building
a
track,
because
north
high
school
has
never
had
a
track
and
ben
franklin
middle
school
that
feeds
into
north
high
school
has
never
had
any
green
space.
They
actually
have
to
walk
down
to
roosevelt
park,
so
we
have
always
utilized
ndsu's
track
because
they've
been
generous
enough
to
do
that.
What's
happened
recently
is
that
ndsu
is
now
going
to
be
rebuilding
and
upgrading
their
track
facilities,
and
they
have
given
us
advanced
notice
that
they
will
be
because
of
their
new
upgraded
facilities.
L
They
will
be
limiting
outside
use
of
their
facilities
as
well,
so
that
will
no
longer
be
an
opportunity
for
us.
So
the
track
program-
that's
always
been
in
existence,
and
this
will
happen
even
during
the
building
of
the
track,
because
it's
not
going
to
happen
right
in
the
season
time,
but
students
would
until
we
have
another
solution
for
north
high
school,
they
would
probably
have
to
utilize
south
high
school
and
work
out
scheduling
there,
because
there
it
just
is
zero
track.
So
it's
not
an
upgrade.
L
It's
more
of
a
need
for
that
program
that
we
have
just
to
robin's
question
about
time
frame
and,
what's
time
sensitive
as
well.
The
hawthorne
edition
for
early
childhood
special
education
was
a
result
of
the
task
forces
that
we
had
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
That
is
a
project
that
we've
had
developed.
We
were
looking
at
this
time
frame
to
bring
it
to
the
board
because
of
just
where
the
market
has
been
in
terms
of
supplies
and
what
the
cost
has
been.
L
If
you
look
at
turf
in
the
north
high
project,
that's
an
alternate
piece,
so
it's
not
something
that
the
district
would
be
looking
at
and
that
would
be
privately
funded
as
well.
So,
in
addition
to
the
north
high
track
to
be
able
to
do
the
track,
we
would
have
to
replace
a
parking
lot,
because
the
parking
lots
in
really
poor
condition
and
they
can't
handle
the
trucks
and
everything
else
that
we
would
need
to
be
able
to
fix
a
truck.
So.
A
B
J
S
Thank
you.
So
my
question
is
relative
to
hawthorne
and
the
proposed
conversation
we're
having
around
adding
on
as
well
as
it
has
me
thinking
about
our
previous
conversation
in
terms
of
difficulty,
finding
substitute
teachers
and
even
teachers
in
in
a
variety
of
specialties,
a
variety
of
areas,
and
although
dr,
as
dr
connie
pointed
out
the
task
force,
this
was
part
of
their
recommendation
was
to
spread
it
out
across
the
district.
S
S
S
Would
it
be,
you
know,
I
think,
that
it's
important
we
discuss
the
the
potential
challenges
that
we
have
by
moving
continually
or
continuing
down
this
path
and
maybe
revisiting
some
of
the
space
that
spaces
that
we
do
have
to
maybe
collectively
bring
them
back
together
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
that
is
the
one.
That's
that's
top
of
mind,
just
listening
to
staff
shortage
conversation
over
the
past
few
meetings.
J
T
A
A
So
the
the
space
that
is
on
the
north
side
of
fargo
at
longfallow
follows
for
the
ecse
program,
follows
the
recommendations
that
came
from
the
task
force,
and
so
then
the
fargo
school
district
is
left
with
two
more
sites.
Basically,
if
we're
looking
at
following
those
recommendations,
so
the
addition
to
hawthorne
would
be
continuing
along
that
plan,
so
wondering
if,
if
we
didn't
do
this,
where
we
would
go
with
a
plan,
dr
gandhi,.
L
I'll
just
share
some
brief
information
about
how
the
early
childhood
special
education
program
works
and
how
wide
this
is
a
need
and
then
missy,
if
there's
anything
else
that
missy
wants
to
chime
in
or
if
I
misspeak
on
accident.
Please
let
me
know
the
reason
that
this
conversation
went
to
the
task
force.
To
begin
with
is
because
early
childhood
special
education
has
been
a
growing
program,
especially
growing
exponentially
in
incremental
years.
Providing
early
childhood
special
education
services
is
a
requirement
as
a
federal
requirement
of
the
district.
L
L
The
reason
this
conversation
right
prior
to
the
year
I
started
as
superintendent
came
to
the
task
force
is
because
what
was
happening
at
that
time
is
we
had
a
certain
amount
of
rooms
at
the
agassi
building
that
were
being
utilized
for
early
childhood
special
education
services,
along
with
a
partnering
organization.
That
was
also
utilizing
some
of
those
rooms
to
provide
that
access
to
non-disabled
peers
as
a
program
continued
to
grew,
we
needed
more
rooms.
So
then
we
were
utilizing
some
different
school
buildings.
L
I
believe
centennial
at
one
point
in
time
and
then
a
couple
of
other
schools
as
well
with
the
growth
in
our
student
population.
We
started
utilizing
those
classrooms
as
well.
So
the
conversation
then
at
the
task
force
was
this
is
going
to
be
a
continual
need,
we'll
have
child
sign
child
find
services
that
impact
the
city
of
fargo.
So
we
really
should
look
at
three
different
locations
in
north
central
south.
L
So
longfellow
had
an
addition
that
was
done
with
four
early
childhood
special
education
classrooms,
with
the
understanding
that
the
access
to
non-disabled
peers
would
be
the
actual
general
education
students
that
are
there.
There
is
currently
no
central
location
and
what
we
have
discussed,
though
there
is
no
board
action-
is
potentially
looking
at
a
south
side
option
being
at
if
that
time
is
whenever
we
need
to
build
a
new
future
elementary
school,
because
that
would
be
prudent.
L
I
think
one
of
the
pieces
of
feedback
that
was
in
the
past
is
when
there
was
a
conversation
about
splitting
it
up
all
the
staff
liked
being
together
because
they're
one
unit,
they
could
do
professional
development
and
we
get
that.
But
if
that
comes
at
the
cost
of
not
having
access
to
non-disabled
peers
or
not
having
access
to
non-disabled
peers,
that's
of
concern
to
the
district
as
well.
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
about
the
early
childhood
special
education
program
and
how
it
works
and
why
we've
had
that
need.
B
The
board
has
been
directing
administration
to
move
forward
with
this
model
for
for
years.
So
I
think
these
are
two
conversations
whether
we
are
fi
we're
having
a
funding,
conversation
and
priority
conversations
tonight,
I'm
not.
I
will
not
support
changing
direction
at
this
time
because
we
have
been
directing
you
to
move
forward
with
that.
This
is
really
a
prioritization
and
finance
conversation.
B
In
my
opinion,
I
am
very
comfortable
supporting
the
motion,
knowing
that
you
would
proceed
with
the
process,
but
the
board
still
needs
to
approve
the
bonding
process
and
and
what
have
you,
but
I'm
not
going
to
hold
back
any
longer
on
serving
our
kids,
the
best
that
we
can
and
not
having
them
on
a
bus
for
an
hour
and
a
half
across
town.
So
I
want
the
ecsc
pro
project
to
move
forward
as
soon
as
possible.
That's
my
number
one
priority
here.
B
O
Can
I
direct
a
question
to
jim
sure
go
ahead,
jim
your
motion
specifically
states
e-e-c-s-e
and
the
north
high
track?
I
would
imagine
that,
since
there
were
four
projects
brought,
the
other
two
must
have
had
some
sense
of
urgency
too.
What
what
are
our
plans
for
south
high's
hvac
and
the
north
and
south
high
locker
rooms.
J
J
So
my
guess
is
those
are
going
to
become
priority
projects,
but
I
think
we
really
are
looking
at
multitude
of
other
projects
that
also
could
be
weighed
in
probably
right,
along
with
locker
rooms.
The
hvac
is
more,
I
think,
an
operational
issue
from
what
I
understand.
We
have
a
lot
of
maintenance
calls
going
in
over
at
south
high,
so
I
don't
think
either
of
these
are
going
to
disappear.
J
They
just
hadn't
been
flushed
out
nearly
as
well,
both
at
the
board
level
and
at
the
planning
committee
level,
and
that's
why
we
really
kind
of
separated
that
plan.
At
least
that
was
my
recollection
david
and
I
don't
know
if
seth
has
come
in
or
brian
or
anybody
else
on
planning
might
have
a
different
recollection,
but
I
think
that's
the
differential.
A
U
I
think
jim's
exactly
right,
this
project,
where
the
north
and
south
locker
rooms
and
the
hvac
hvac
additions
were
alternates
in
that
north
and
south
high
locker
room
remodel.
When
we
were
looking
at
esser
funding
and
the
the
pool
of
money
that
was
available,
restrictions
have
changed
and
guidelines
have
changed
for
us
for
funding.
So
now
those
projects
would
not
be
covered
under
esser
funding,
which
leaves
us
kind
of
sitting
there
in
limbo,
with
those
the
hvac
will
have
to
be
addressed
at
some
point.
U
Our
hvac
work
orders
just
for
south
alone,
are
about
40
of
our
work
orders.
So
we
are
addressing
things
constantly,
but
is
it
a
need
versus
a
want?
The
hvac
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
need.
A
want.
Yes,
definitely
for
the
locker
rooms,
because
you
know
some
of
the
locker
rooms
are
still
looking
like
the
movie
hoosiers.
You
know
they're
they're
old.
They
need
to
be
addressed.
The
showers
need
to
be
addressed
and
just
updated.
The
air
quality
needs
to
be
addressed
in
those,
but
that
will
have
to
be
addressed
eventually.
U
But
this
was
a
esser
created
project
that
we
felt
was
the
largest
impact
that
we
could
have
throughout.
The
district
was
north
and
south
high
locker
room
models
because
it
does
affect
hvac
and
air
quality
all
as
well
within
the
locker
rooms,
as
well
as
the
two
alternates
with
the
boilers
and
chillers.
So.
B
I
want
the
ecsc
to
go
through
as
soon
as
possible.
I
I
don't
have
the
comprehensive
financials
in
front
of
me
enough
to
make
an
educated
discussion.
I,
if
might
I
politely,
suggest
that
the
planning
committee
pulled
together
an
emergency
meeting
to
to
plug
this
into
our
long-range
facility
plan.
So
I
have
a
better
idea
of
the
long-term
funding
for
this.
B
T
Q
T
Q
I
feel
like
we
can
pay
for
one
of
the
projects
through
existing
fund
balance
and
with
the
revenue
that
we
will
be
receiving
from
property
taxes
over
the
next
two
years.
I
would
not
be
comfortable
playing
with
for
both
of
them
out
of
existing,
so
that
would
either
leave
us
to
bond
for
one
or
we
could
bond
for
two
and
and
keep
the
fund
balance
there
for
other
projects
that
may
arise.
A
S
You
so
I
have
a
clarifying
question
because
dr
rupak
and
robin
commented
on
some
of
the
questions
or
statements
that
I
had
made
in
regards
to
the
potential
edition
for
ecsc
programming
and
really
they
didn't
address
staffing
challenges.
So
I
understand
resource
and
I
resources.
That
was
something
that
I
heard
from
the
staff
being
in
one
location
and
I'm
not
saying
robin
that
I'm
advocating
for
one
location
or
a
change
in
direction.
S
But
it
wouldn't
then
constitute
an
addition
onto
the
building
right
now,
because
to
me,
in
addition,
really
isn't
a
need,
really
it's
preserving
the
program
right
and
finding
a
home
for
the
program
in
in
in
a
you
know,
hopefully
somewhere,
that
they
can
stay
long-term.
But
that
leads
me
to
your
question
or
comment
around
an
hour
and
a
half
on
the
bus.
S
Now,
please
somebody
correct
me,
because
this
was
also
something
that
staff
had
told
me
was
that
when
you're,
when
you're,
not
all
housed
in
the
same
spot,
there
is
maybe
more
transportation
or
if
programming
is
outside
of
that
facility,
there
would
be
a
need
to
bus
students
for
certain
services.
I've
never
heard
anyone
say
that
they're
on
the
bus
that
long
to
get
to
the
the
location
where
ecsc
is
so
I
mean
I
know
fargo
is
getting
bigger,
but
but
is
that
really
truly
happening?.
A
L
I'll
I'll
respond
briefly
to
some
of
what
and
jennifer
has
just
shared
and
then
I'll
respond
and
I'll.
Let
robin
respond
to
the
rest,
but
then
I
did
have
my
hand
up
to
just
respond
or
clarify
some
things
for
rob,
and
I
think
I
know
kind
of
where
you're
coming
from
with
some
of
the
uncertainty
and
the
muddiness
of
this
conversation,
I
think
I'll
be
able
to
clarify
that
to
jennifer's
question
I
mean
staffing.
L
This
is
an
obligation
and
this
is
a
set
of
services
that
we're
going
to
provide
our
students
so,
regardless
of
where
the
program
is
housed,
we're
going
to
have
to
find
the
staff
at
this
point
in
time.
The
conversation
that
we've
had
today
was
more
focused
on
substitute
teachers
versus
just
licensed
teachers.
L
Special
education
is
an
area
of
critical
shortage
across
the
state
and
across
the
nation,
so
not
saying
that
those
teachers
in
those
areas
are
easy
to
come
by,
but
at
the
same
point
that
it's
just
going
to
be
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do.
Obviously,
investing
in
teachers
in
our
human
capital
is
just
one
of
the
fundamental
priorities
for
us.
L
As
a
district,
regardless
of
the
physical
space
in
terms
of
using
our
current
existing
facilities,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
learned
is
that
for
a
conducive
environment
for
our
special
education
students,
our
early
childhood
special
education
students
do
have
different
needs.
We,
when
we
looked
at
the
reason
we
weren't
able
to
just
do
a
traditional
classroom
edition
at
longfellow
and
had
to
have
some
specifics
is
because
there
are
early
childhood
special
education
or
early
childhood
requirements.
L
The
sizes
of
the
students
having
restrooms
in
the
classroom
there
are
just
different
needs
as
well,
so
it's
not
that
just
all
the
facilities
that
we
have
for
k-12
can
easily
be
translated,
but
there
might
be
some
of
the
usage
of
the
interim
facilities
like
we
like.
I
said
we
have
done
in
the
past
at
centennial
in
madison,
when
there
were
some
of
those
classrooms
available
as
well.
So
we
do
take
a
look
at
those
things
to
robin's
kind
of
question
about.
L
You
know
this
being
kind
of
a
muddy
conversation.
Where
are
we
financially
the
reason
that
that's
exists
today
and
why
this
is
a
little
bit
tricky
for
the
board?
Is
that
we
have
to
really
take
a
look
at
this
from
two
separate
processes:
blake
and
jackie,
as
they
oversee
our
facilities?
They
have
an
annual
process
of
just
our
maintenance
needs
have
been
deferred
that
they
go
through
that
are
prioritized
that
are
funded,
for
that
is
one
set
of
that's
one
process
that
we've
always
utilized
as
a
district.
L
The
other
piece
is
taking
a
looking
at
our
building
fund.
What
we
can
afford,
looking
at
our
bonding
capacity
for
significant
projects
that
are
pretty
large
in
scope,
that
we
bring
to
the
board
as
well,
and
we
have
that
that
conversation
as
well.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
merger
of
both
we,
the
hawthorne
conversation
and
the
north
high
track
would
qualify
as
those
larger
projects
that
we
always
have
those
conversations
with
the
board.
We
normally
would
not
have
had
maybe
the
same
level
of
conversation
around
these
other
two
projects.
L
However,
like
blake
said
when
we
had
the
availability
of
esser
funds,
we
recognize
okay
in
terms
of
maximizing
efficiency.
The
south
high
hvac
system,
which
gets
almost
40
percent
of
our
orders,
could
be
a
project.
So
it's
not
a
need.
That
comes
to
the
same
point,
to
look
at
bonding.
However,
now
that
we
know
that
that's
a
need,
there's
two
options
moving
forward.
If
the
board
today
were
to
say
just
move
forward
with
hawthorne
ecsc
and
the
north
high
track,
then
these
other
two
projects
would
go
back
to
the
previous
process.
L
L
So
the
question
really
for
the
board
today
is:
do
you
want
to
take
two
wants
and
add
them
in,
because
you
might
be
able
to
bond
at
a
higher
level
or
bond
to
for
both
of
them
at
a
cheaper
rate?
Or
do
you
want
to
push
those
back
and
then
we
can
revisit
them
at
a
later
time,
knowing
that
they
may
come
at
an
increased
expense.
J
Yeah,
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
my
motion.
I
believe
I
indicated
in
it
that
I
would
like
the
process
to
be
that
we
bond
for
both
the
8
million
for
the
hawthorne
edition
and
the
8
million
for
the
north
high
track
and
not
spend
any
of
the
current
building
fund
balance,
and
the
reason
for
that
is,
I
believe,
the
interest
rates
we're
going
to
get
if
we
go
to
bond
right
now
are
as
attractive
as
we're
ever
going
to
see.
J
Quite
frankly,
in
our
lifetimes
the
fed
is
already
indicating
they're
going
to
be
rationing
up
rates
next
year
or
later
this
year
and
again
it
speaks
a
little
bit
to
what
rupak
just
talked
about
that
yeah.
It
may
make
sense
to
add
in
another
project,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
to
decide
on
these
other
two
projects
tonight.
J
We
certainly
can
look
at,
would
it
make
sense
to
instead
of
just
issuing
16
million
dollars
in
bonds,
adding
one
or
both
of
these
other
two
projects?
But
at
this
point
in
time,
planning
has
not
really
vetted
that
we
really
vetted
the
top
two,
which
is
why
it
shows
on
your
agenda
as
item
v1
and
item
b2.
A
S
S
So
in
order
of
prioritization,
I
sort
of
see
it
as
hvac,
then
track
could
be
bid
for
those
I
mean.
Can
we
separate
this
number
one?
So
ecse
and
north
don't
have
to
be
together.
You
know,
and
that
also
would
address
and
help
give
time
for
the
question
that
robin
has
been
asking
around
the
financials.
Q
Up
just
to
tag
a
little
bit
on
on
some
of
those
thoughts,
jennifer
the
one
of
the
big
reasons
why
we're
having?
I
think
this
conversation
as
well
and
whether
to
bond
or
not,
is
both
the
ecsc
edition
and
the
track
were
part
of
our
long-range
financial
plan,
the
most
recent
one
which
was
done
about
a
year
ago.
Q
However,
the
costs
now
are
estimated
to
be
three
to
four
times
what
we
maybe
put
in
for
the
plan,
and
so
that's
what
is
really
kind
of
putting
us
in
this
predicament
as
well
of
you
know.
Initially,
we
thought
we
would
probably
have
enough
in
the
fund
to
do
some
of
those
projects,
and
I
guess
we
don't
know.
T
O
J
C
A
A
Let's
get
started
again,
it's
ten
after
seven,
I
know
jim
might
have
to
take
off
at
7
30.,
so
understand
jim.
If
you
are
not
able
to
stay
with
us
past
7
30.,
continuing
on
the
business
section
of
our
agenda,
we're
on
item
c,
ap,
5220
procedure
for
resolution
of
employee
complaints,
level,
4,
memo,
72
and
information
has
been
shared
with
us
earlier
this
evening.
A
A
We
have
that
information
in
front
of
us
as
well.
So
I
would
like
to
offer
up
now
the
opportunity
for
board
members
to
open
up
with
questions
or
discussion.
Obviously,
anyone
from
administration
that
is
feeling
the
need
to
share
information
to
that
is.
That
is
certainly
welcome,
board
members.
Any
questions
right
now.
B
R
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
it:
was
you
know
she
listed
three
things
for
us
to
discuss?
I
think
maybe
four,
but
the
first
was
just
it
didn't
sound,
like
the
faa
thought
that
the
two
complaints
should
have
been
combined
in
the
first
place
that
ap
6061
should
have
been
for
bullying
only
and
ap
5220
for
the
other
violations.
So
maybe,
if
someone
from
the
administration
could
just
walk
us
through
why
that
decision
was
made
for
those
two
to
be
combined.
A
That
that
would
be
wonderful
and-
and
I
believe
there
is
information
in
our
packet
that
indicates
that
there
was
conversation
or
an
awareness
between
both
parties-
that
that's
what
was
happening.
It
would
still
be
good
to
have
that
conversation
here.
Dr
gandhi
go
ahead,
and
if
you
feel
that
there's
someone
from
administration
that
should
add
into
the
conversation,
please
do
so.
L
One
is
because
I
was
part
of
the
level
three
decision
prior
to
this
coming
to
the
board,
so
just
out
of
any
specific
things,
but
I
of
any
portrayal
of
me
trying
to
sway
the
conversation
one
way
or
the
other,
but
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
your
determination
is
if
the
process
followed
by
me
in
level
three
was
appropriate
or
not,
and
then,
if
so,
if
it's
not,
then
give
administration
direction.
Otherwise
this
involves
two
staff
members
and
in
fargo
public
schools.
L
The
reason
that
I
said
that
it
was
okay,
there's
multiple
reasons
why
I
had
said
that
it
was
okay
for
administration
to
have
combined
the
two
investigations,
because
when
that
was
done,
first
and
foremost,
we
use
the
more
comprehensive
and
thorough
investigation
process,
two
that
was
communicated
at
that
time
and
then
third,
the
interpretation
that's
being
presented,
or
at
least
that
was
challenged.
When
the
complaint
came
to
level
three,
which
said
that,
according
to
the
policy
procedure,
the
appropriate
individual
could
be
the
supervisor.
L
I
had
clarified
that
at
the
moment
that
the
same
complaint
was
used
to
also
for
a
more
comprehensive
accusation
of
bullying
who
the
appropriate
person
was
had
changed
at
that
time.
So
that
is
why
I
provided
the
response
that
I
did
in
level
three
just
for
the
full
perception
of
neutrality.
I
would
say
that
if
there's
any
other
procedural
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer,
but
you
also
have
your
board
attorney.
That
is
familiar
with
your
policies
and
is
familiar
with
kind
of
the
process.
If
you'd
want
to
defer
to
that.
B
V
V
S
So
I
have
a
question
tara.
You
stated
that
I
too
think
that
it's
important
well
first,
let
me
ask
my
question:
okay,
so
is
the
intent,
because
this
happened
at
governance
discussion.
I
don't
I
don't
recall,
being
involved
or
being
on
the
phone
for
this
particular
meeting,
and
so
was
the
intent
that
all
of
your
policies
apply
to
all
staff,
or
is
it
indeed
being
applied
differently,
and
that
was
its
intent?
And
then
I
have
a
follow-up.
S
V
So
that's
a
really
good
question.
What
I
would
say
is,
I
think
the
fea
is
reading
the
first
policy
5220
incorrectly,
so
the
the
com
or
the
ap
5220
defines
a
complaint
as
three
things:
personal
loss,
injury
or
inconvenience
that
occurs
specifically
because
of
a
misinterpretation
or
an
inequitable
application
of
policy.
So
that's
essentially
what
has
to
happen,
and
I
and
I
really
struggle
to
get
there
in
this
situation.
I
don't
think
we're
saying
hey,
because
it's
administration,
this
policy
is
being
applied
inappropriately.
V
A
Again,
our
role
here
tonight
is
regarding
this
specific
issue,
this
specific
case,
to
decide
if
the
policies
that
we
have
in
place
right
now
today
were
followed
appropriately
and
that
that's
really
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
tonight,
other
just
that
doesn't
mean
that
something
else
might
not
evolve.
As
a
result,
you
know
in
the
future
as
we're
talking
about
any
changes
that
might
need
to
be
made
to
a
policy
that,
but
I
just
don't
want
that
conversation
to
cloud
the
decision
that
we
have
to
make
tonight
robin.
B
So,
as
I
look
through
the
governance
policies,
we
leave
it
up
to
the
superintendent
to
for
a
reasonable
interpretation
of
policies,
and
so
I
think
that
kind
of
that's
really.
In
my
perspective,
what
this
comes
down
to
it.
Was
there
a
good
faith
effort
to
follow
the
policies,
because
I
it's
this-
is
so
detailed
and
granular
without
being
involved
in
every
step
of
the
way.
B
A
J
J
S
So,
as
a
follow-up
tara
you
had
mentioned,
you
know
our
policy
states
or
our
adopted
sort
of
way
of
doing
business
is
through
governance.
So
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
but
yes,
we
designate
operations
to
our
ceo
superintendent,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
that
isn't
being
implemented
in
sort
in
whatever
fashion
the
level
that
a
person
would
have
to
be
able
to
appeal
right,
it
would
be
to
come
to
the
board
and,
ultimately,
those
that
I've
heard
speak
on
governance
topic
have
said.
S
S
However,
in
cases
like
this,
I
don't
know
how
you
apply
it
or
I
don't
believe
that
the
governance
expectation
would
be
to
apply
blind
faith
in
that
that
it
was
just
assumed
that
procedure
was
followed
without
actually
hearing
both
sides
of
the
story.
The
fact
that
it's
gotten
here
somebody
it's
telling
me
that
if
somebody
believes
that
that
process
wasn't
followed,
those
policies
that
were
put
in
place,
weren't
indeed
followed,
and
so,
although
yes,
you
know
you,
you
want
to
have
this
trust,
but
I
it's
trust
but
verify
too.
S
O
I
don't
know
exactly
how
to
state
this,
but
making
this
operational,
meaning
that
it's
essentially
turned
over
to
a
decision
of
the
superintendent
and
then,
as
as
robin
said,
you
know.
Basically,
we
need
to
support
the
superintendent.
I
I
just
don't
feel
that's
that's
the
way
something
of
this
nature
should
be
handled.
I
I
will
not
support
this
motion
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
B
I
didn't
for
one
minute
state
that
we
should
support
the
superintendent.
I
said
we
are
here
to
determine
if
policy
was
followed.
This
is
nothing
to
do
with
the
integrity
of
the
the
investigation.
Well,
it
is
about
the
integrity
investigation
where
the
policies
followed.
I
I've
never
stated
to
blindly
support
the
superintendent,
and
I
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
I
never
did
say
that.
L
L
Look
at
the
summary
of
findings
that
I
found
the
statement
of
facts
that
I
wrote
at
the
level
three
decision
and
then
say
that
was
appropriate
or
it
wasn't
and
if
it
wasn't
then
direct
me
and
what
to
do
accordingly.
So
that
is
your
function
here.
It
is
to
review
and
verify
what
I
presented
in
my
response
at
level
three
and
to
whether
did
I
follow
the
appropriate
procedures
or
not.
A
B
And
I
would
say
no
matter
how
we
vote
on
this.
This
is
nothing
against
the
employee
or
the
superintendent
is
only
about
process.
I'm
not
saying
the
decision
was
right
or
wrong,
I'm
saying
it's
about
process
and
clearly
the
process
is
being
questioned
and
to
tara's
point.
I
think
it
will
be
prudent
to
review
this
after
this
evening.

The
black
and
gray
scale
is
the
same
week
last
year
as
I've
shared
at
previous
board
meetings
as
well.
Please
know
that
information
for
the
current
week
is,
as
of
tuesday
numbers
will
change
by
the
end
of
the
week
as
well
as
you
can
see
in
comparison
to
previous
years,
there's
a
significant
uptick
when
you're,
comparing
the
amount
of
positive
cases
reported
by
students
for
this
same
week
in
comparison
to.
I
can't
believe
I'm
saying
this
the
last
two
years
that
we
have
been
encountering
the
coven
19
pandemic.
L
So
that
is
the
piece
of
information
from
the
weekly
chart
data.
The
other
information
requested
by
the
board
was
the
information
on
staying
in
school.
What
this
email
screenshot
from
steven
duro
will
show.
You
is
what
I
presented
to
you
in
the
last
couple
of
meetings
as
well,
but
then
also
updated
as
of
today,
so
individuals
that
were
able
to
remain
in
school
because
they
were
part
of
a
mass
to
mass
exposure.
L
The
last
piece
of
information
that
you
were
asked
for
me
to
share
during
these
updates
was
also
if
there
has
been
any
change
of
guidance
from
fargo
cast
public
health
and
or
the
department
of
health
that
impacts
our
operation,
so
we
have
communicated
previously.
Obviously,
masking
has
a
mitigation
strategy.
We
know
that
that's
been
communicated,
but
during
december
the
cdc
also
changed
their
guidance
for
exclusionary
practices
for
who
nisa
quarantine
and
the
length
of
quarantine,
and
also
for
isolations
the
biggest
change.
L
As
of
on
monday
january
17th,
the
district
will
be
transitioning
to
using
masking
or
strongly
recommending
masking
for
mitigation
strategies,
but
no
longer
requiring
it,
based
on
the
updated
guidance
that
updated
guidance
like
I've
shared
with
you
at
the
august
10th
meeting,
it's
never
talking
just
about
masking
and
isolation,
so
that's
also
impacts,
quarantine
and
exclusionary
practices
of
the
district.
We
will
no
longer
be
identifying
close
contacts.
That
is
what
that
means
is
that
conducting
the
work
to
identify
who's
been
within
a
positive
case
within
six
feet
for
15
cumulative
minutes
or
more.
L
We
will
transition
to
a
general
notification
of
anyone
that
shared
a
classroom
environment
with
an
individual
that
has
positive
of
notifying
that
entire
class.
That
doesn't
mean
that
they
would
be
meet
the
criteria
for
a
close
contact
or
not,
but
that
does
mean
that
they
shared
a
classroom
with
someone
that
tested
positive
for
covet19.
R
Thank
you,
president
knutson.
I
just
wanted
to
if
it's
okay,
to
take
this
time,
to
make
a
few
comments
about
the
many
emails
and
correspondence
that
that
we've
received,
if
it's
more
appropriate
for
me
to
do
that
in
my
board
readout
I
can,
but
I
feel
it
falls
to
this
subject
and
really,
I
think
I'm
gonna
make
these
comments
as
the
health
officer
and
not
necessarily
as
a
school
board
meeting
just
so
I
can
clarify
a
few
things.
R
We
did
the
fargo
public
schools
town
hall
yesterday
and
I
shared
very
almost
exact
comments,
I'm
going
to
say
so.
I
just
thought
I'd
like
to
share
them
here
as
well.
So,
first
of
all
you
know
we
are
highly
aware
of
the
omicron
variant
and
we
are.
We
realize
that
the
timing
and
the
optics
of
making
a
mitigation
change
like
this
is
is
unfortunate,
but
that
doesn't
change
the
reasoning
behind.
R
Why
we're
doing
it,
and
so
my
hope,
is
to
have
just
full
transparency
and
how
these
decisions
are
made
tonight,
and
I
shared
this
with
again
the
staff
yesterday.
So
first
and
foremost,
fargo
cast
public
health
believes
that
mass
are
highly
effective.
We
still
do
and
we
are
still
strongly
encouraging
mass
use
to
both
the
general
public
and
k
through
12
when
in
indoor
crowded
spaces,
so
that
sentiment
has
not
changed.
R
But
you
know
the
cdc
guidelines
are
national
level,
broad
recommendations
on
an
array
of
things,
not
just
covid
that
are
meant
to
be
implemented
locally
by
state
health
departments
and
by
local
public
health
agencies
throughout
the
pandemic.
Local
agencies
have
done
the
best
they
can
with
the
information
currently
available
and
with
the
resources
they
have
in
their
community
here
locally
fargo
cass,
public
health
utilizes
many
partners
to
make
our
decisions,
including
a
physician
advisory
group
that
has
seven
local
physicians.
R
Five
of
them
are
infectious
disease
and
we
meet
regularly
to
help
pour
over
these
guidelines,
pour
over
the
data
and
really
decide
how
to
adopt
the
guidelines
locally.
I
can
tell
you
no
community
or
school
district.
I
mean
perhaps
very
few
are
following
cdc
guidelines
to
a
t
that
would
be
incredibly
challenging.
R
For
example,
a
cdc
guideline
is
that
we
are
supposed
to
be
screening
and
testing
all
of
the
students
and
staff
weekly
fargo
public
schools
has
never
done
that,
and
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that.
So
there
are
others.
I
know
we
keep
getting
emails
saying.
Why
aren't
we
following
cdc
guidelines?
R
R
R
That's
just
not
how
it
works.
The
cdc
guidelines
are
really
presuming
that
you
have
community
support
and
that
the
rest
of
your
community
is
masking
and
then
that's
followed
in
schools.
It's
just
it's
illogical
for
students
and
staff
to
wear
cloth,
masks,
sometimes
partially
or
incorrectly,
for
six
or
seven
hours
a
day
and
then
take
them
off
in
the
rest
of
the
community,
such
as
at
extracurricular
activities,
buys
and
games
or
the
grocery
store
concerned.
Citizens
should
really
be
appealing
to
state,
or
you
know,
city
level,
leaders
rather
than
just
one
school
district.
R
R
S
O
S
We
have
the
power
to
make
that
change
today
tonight
and-
and
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
for
all
of
these
reasons,
because
we
know
and
and
the
entity
that
we've
been
listening
to
is
telling
us,
it
isn't
effective
the
way
that
we're
deploying
it
so
it.
I
would
struggle
to
understand
the
reason
why
we
would
keep
it
even
until
the
17th
and
just
really
move
it
to
a
strongly
recommended
and
and
and
give
that
right
back
to
students
and
staff
to
make
that
decision
for
themselves.
C
S
C
A
R
Well,
I
guess
just
in
in
the
honor
of
following
policy-
and
you
know
this
was
thoughtfully-
taught
thought
out
the
dates
of
this
being
able
to
follow
things
two
weeks
after
the
break.
Would
that
be
an
imposition
on
administration
to
change
it
earlier
than
the
date
you're
expecting?
Is
that
logistically
problematic.
O
L
The
board's
directive,
we
have
been
following
kind
of
the
guidance
from
fargo
cast
public
health
and,
as
those
guidance
change,
that's
what
we've
communicated
our
rationale
for
all
of
everything
that
we've
communicated
until
this
point
has
been
the
august
10th
board
meeting,
and
then
the
dates
were
communicated
based
on
the
guidance
that
was
provided
to
us.
So
if
the
board
would
take
other
action
today,
we
would
have
to
change
that
communication,
especially
if
it's
effective
immediately,
not
saying
it
can
or
cannot
be
done.
L
A
J
J
J
A
O
R
Yes,
I'm
happy
tracy
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
rebecca
for
one.
We
were
just
trying
to
allow
ample
time
for
people
to
receive
both
doses
of
the
vaccination.
This
vaccine
became
available
for
a
large
part
of
our
population,
five
to
11
year
olds
in
mid-november,
so
we
are
trying
to
logistically
allow
that
also,
you
know,
there's
a
two
to
three
week
lag
of
case
spikes
and
then
hospitalizations
and
death.
So
it
was
a
respect
to
our
health
care
systems
too.
S
S
So
why
would
we
continue
to
mandate
something
that
is
we're
being
told
by
that
organization
that
we
said
we
were
going
to
follow?
We're
being
told
that
this
doesn't
make
a
difference
in
cases
and
then
do
we
really
have
to
talk
about
the
number
of
cases
I
mean
cases
and
hospitalizations
desi
also
said:
there's
122
hospitalized
in
the
entire
state
of
north
dakota.
S
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
wait
another
week,
they've
asked
us
to
change
along
the
way
as
guidance
changes
or
as
data
comes
in
and
as
they
seek
to
understand
that
data,
so
they're
telling
you
they
now
know
this.
They
now
know
this
to
be
true
that
they're
ineffective,
but
we're
going
to
leave
it
in
because
the
previous
strategy
said
january
17th
would
allow
us
just
two
weeks.
We
don't
need
the
two
weeks
if
it's
ineffective.
A
There
we
have
announced
that
a
change
will
take
place.
The
17th
of
january.
We
aren't
in
school
that
day
we'll
be
in
school,
the
18th
of
january.
That's
one
more
week.
Thank
you
staff.
Thank
you,
students!
Thank
you
to
the
community
that
has
been
supportive
in
leading
the
effort
and
in
following
the
guidance
of
fargo
cast
public
health.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
in
helping
to
build
a
healthy,
strong,
safe
workplace
and
learning
environment.
A
When
others
have
not
thank
you
for
being
strong,
and
I
I
have
every.
I
have
every
indication
that
I
will
continue
to
support
the
guidance
of
public
health.
We
have
individuals
that
have
asked
us
to
now
continue
the
mask
mandate.
You
know
for
different
reasons
right.
There
are
people
that
feel
strongly
on
both
sides
of
this:
some
about
freedom,
some
about
liberty,
some
about
health
and
safety
and
wellness
and
well-being.
A
We
are
having
an
impact.
We
have
had
an
impact.
Our
practices
have
an
impact,
whether
it's
switching
to
strongly
recommended
or
when
we
were
when
we're
still
currently
mandating
it,
and
so
I
have.
I
have
faith
in
the
guidance
of
public
health
taking
the
information
that
is
at
the
global
at
the
national
at
the
higher
level
and
dissecting
that
information.
The
panel
that
is
involved
with
fargo
cast
public
health
to
put
the
recommendations
together
for
our
local
community.
A
O

J
A
No
motion
fails
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
board
reports,
committee
liaison
and
correspondence
reports.
I
think
at
our
last
meeting
we
missed
or
we
we
might
have
put
this
off
in
terms
of
sharing
or
maybe
I'm
remembering
incorrectly.
It
might
have
been
the
meeting
prior
to
that.
At
any
rate,
please
share
what
you
feel
you
need
to
share.
If
you,
if
you
didn't,
have
that
opportunity
sooner
nikki,
why
don't
we
start
with
you.
M
M
T
T
B
I
attended
governance
committee,
but
I
cannot
remember
which
date
it
was,
but
I
was
there,
chambers,
eggs
and
issues
was
on
january
6
and
they
talked
pretty
in
depth
about
covid
and
the
osha
ets,
which
does
not
affect
the
school
district.
I
found
after
the
last
board
meeting
and
numerous
parent
questions.
Well,
I
attended
fargo
cast
public
health
board
as
the
liaison
on
december
17th
and
I
did
have.
B
I
made
some
inquiries
and
I
shared
this
with
through
an
email
to
the
board,
but
I
I
feel
obligated
to
let
those
that
were
listening
know
about
that
conversation
as
well.
So
I
I
did
inquire
about
the
mobile
vaccination
clinics
at
schools
during
during
the
public
health
meeting
board
meeting
and
desi.
The
director
answered
that
firocast
public
health
received
a
grant
from
the
north
dakota
department
of
health
to
offer
the
program
and
that
firewall
cass
public
health
contracted
family
health
care
to
staff
it
the
vehicles
due
to
their
own
staff
shortages.
B
She
went
on
to
follow
up
and
say
that
that
out
there
in
the
month
of
october,
there
were
173
vaccinations
administered
and
three
of
those
were
coveted.
So
I
I
just
don't
want
this
to
be
perceived
by
the
community,
that
this
is
solely
a
coveted
vaccination
unit.
The
grant
was
for
to
enable
vaccinations
to
be
administered
whether
they
are
required
or
recommended,
so
the
vast
number
of
them
were
either
required
or
recommended,
but
did
not
include
covet,
and
I
think
it
was.
B
I
figured
out
the
percentage
like
.017,
so
I
just
want
to
keep
that
in
perspective,
and
I
tried
to
answer
as
many
emails
as
I
could
from
people
questioning
those.
I
don't
have
the
answers
to
the
medical
questions,
but
I
tried
to
do
with
the
policies
and
then
governmental
affairs
committee
we're
working
on
a
february
meeting
we're
required
to
meet
at
least
quarterly,
so
tara
and
I
are
going
to
visit
and
see
how
we
move
forward.
A
S
I
just
want
to
say
how
incredibly
disappointed
I
am,
and
I
think
our
community
will
be
as
well
when
leaders
are
tasked
with
a
decision.
First
and
foremost,
you
should
consider
the
oath
that
you
took
to
sit
here
in
this
chair
and
the
oath
that
you
took
was
to
uphold
the
constitution
and
a
person's
right
to
choose.
S
It
should
have
never
been
okay
to
mandate
masks
ever,
but
some
of
us
did
some
places.
Did
our
fargo
cast
public
health
is
telling
you
that
the
vast
majority
of
places
across
the
state,
like
it's
pretty
much
non-existent,
were
desi's
words
to
have
mass
mandates
in
place
non-existent
and
the
rationale
for
keeping
it
is
an
emotional
plea
to.
I
believe
that
they
are
doing
some
good
seriously.
S
S
S
I
do
believe
in
medical
freedoms.
This
country
believes
in
medical
freedoms,
the
box
that
the
masks
come
in
even
tell
you
that
they're
not
going
to
be
effective
right.
Yet
we
continue
to
mandate.
We
used
the
power
granted
to
us
given
to
us
by
being
elected,
to
be
in
this
chair
to
violate
people's
constitutional
rights,
and
we
continue
to
do
it
even
when
public
health
tells
us
it's
an
ineffective
mitigation
strategy,
it
is
absolutely
insane
and
it
is
so
wrong.
S
R
R
We
had
cea
on
the
21st
and
then
I
took
part
in
the
fargo
public
schools,
town
hall
yesterday
on
coven
19
mitigation.
I
think
it
went
really
well
and
I
just
want
to
commend
our
administration
for
doing
those
town
halls.
I
think
it's
a
great
it's
a
great
way
to
communicate
with
our
with
our
staff
and
teachers
and
have
people
be
able
just
to
ask
questions,
and
I
too
will
be
at
state
of
the
schools
on
thursday.
Thank
you.
J
J
We
may
move
that
up
to
be
in
front
of
the
next
board
meeting,
depending
upon
the
needs
that
jackie
and
rupak
might
identify
for
planning.
So
those
of
you
on
the
committee,
please
be
look
on
the
lookout
for
a
possible
change
and
just
as
a
final
note,
I'm
here
to
tell
you,
the
city
of
rochester
is
violating
constitutional
rights
right
and
left
jennifer.
I
had
to
wear
a
mask
the
entire
seven
days.
I
was
there
and
I'm
thankful
for
it
thanks
and
have
a
good
night.
A
A
So
it
was,
it
was,
I
would
say,
very,
very
well
attended
that
that
theater
was
was
quite
full
of
parents
and
students,
and
it
was
just
fun
to
see
folks
engaged
and
you
know,
learning
and
excited,
hopefully
about
getting
into
davies
high
school.
The
native
american
commission
did
not
meet
in
january.
A
There
are
a
couple
of
changes
that
are
going
through
on
that
commission,
so
well,
we
usually
meet
every
month
we
haven't
been
meeting
every
month.
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
meeting
in
february,
so
I'll
report
on
that
I
was
contacted
by
the
north
dakota
school
boards
association
recently
regarding
the
upcoming
negotiations
seminar-
and
it
was
a
request
of
me
to
serve
on
a
panel
for
the
it
was
the
big
schools.
I
suppose
they're
going
to
have
a
panel
of
a
variety
of
of
schools
and
talking
about
negotiations
experiences.
A
I
am
new
to
the
negotiations
committee.
I
advise
that
seth
serve
instead
and
so
seth
I
visited
with
him
today
and
I'm
sure
he
would
be
sharing
that
with
us
tonight.
Since
he's
not
here,
I
thought
I'd,
let
you
know
nikki.
I
know
you're
also
planning
to
attend.
If
something
comes
up
and
seth
is
not
able
to
serve,
you
have
the
experience
as
well.
