A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
everybody
for
being
here
I'll
now
call
the
at
this
point
by
twice
annual
biannual
a
board
meeting
of
the
board
of
directors
for
corporation
for
public
benefit
to
administer
the
nevada,
youth
legislature.
A
B
C
A
Looks
like
we
have
a
quorum,
so
we
can
begin
our
business,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
on
the
board.
All
of
the
support
that
we
already
have
been
enjoying
from
our
lcb
experts
and
also
the
youth
legislators
who
will
be
participating
today,
it's
very
exciting,
to
invite
them
to
share
their
experience
with
the
board.
I'm
I'm
eager
for
all
of
us
to
experience
in
a
recap
what
the
nyl
did
yesterday
in
the
finalization
of
their
language
for
their
bill,
and
I
will
let
them
both
chair,
mezcal
and
youth
legislator.
A
A
Also
to
let
the
board
know
that,
as
of
today,
former
assembly
member
connie
monk
have
submitted
her
resignation
from
the
board,
and
I
want
to
personally
thank
her
for
the
profound
level
of
dedication
and
passion
that
she
devoted
to
the
work
of
the
nyl
board,
as
well
as
the
work
she
did
in
the
nevada
assembly.
A
A
And
the
vice
chair,
woodhouse
website,
I
will
second
madame
chair.
Second
from
senator
harris.
Do
we
have
any
discussion?
A
A
So
moving
on
to
agenda
item
number
four,
you
should
have
the
chair
report
that
I
submitted
and
have
the
format
of
this
is
that
I
wrote
one
report
and
then
it
has
references
to
the
different
agenda
items.
So
you
can
keep
going
back
and
forth
to
this
report
in
terms
of
scholarships.
A
We
do
have
one
policy
decision
to
make
today
and,
and
so
we
postponed
or
delayed
the
uploading
until
we
make
this
decision
going
forward,
we
it
looks
like
as
hopeful,
hopefully
that
we
have
the
one
thousand
dollar
scholarship
that
I
offer
a
a
combined
one
thousand
dollar
nyl
scholarship,
500,
senator
joyce
woodhouse
nyl
scholarship,
and
this
is
the
one
that
I
would
like
to
discuss
with
you.
It's
lovely
to
have
one
of
our
alumni
offered
to
provide
a
scholarship
in
the
past.
A
That's
been
formed,
youth
legislator,
t
r
papamavanu
and
at
least
this
coming
year
it
is
former
youth
legislator,
jonathan
oglesby,
and
what
he
had
requested
is
to
have
his
wife
also
included
in
the
name
of
the
scholarship.
So
the
way
I
presented
it
here,
it's
the
500,
john
and
in
parentheses,
and
tara,
ogle
speed,
and
then
it's
the
alumni
scholarship.
A
Just
to
give
you
background,
you'll
see
there
as
an
explanation.
Historically,
we
have
always
had
someone
preventing
presenting
the
scholarship,
who
has
some
direct
connection
to
the
program.
Tori
cardio
who's,
one
of
our
board
members,
has
consistently
been
very
generous
in
offering
the
nyl
scholarship
and
we
have
not
had
any
name
on
a
scholarship
that
is
not
directly
affiliated
with
the
program.
So
I
just
like
some
input
from
the
board
members
by
extent
you're
sorry
about
the
noise.
A
In
the
background,
that's
liberty
wanting
for
liberty
what
your
feelings
are
about,
opening
it
up
and
adding
names
from
people
who
are
not
directly,
and
that
would
be
tara,
her
husband,
but
not
tara
herself.
So
what
would
be
the
thoughts
of
the
board.
C
Well,
madame
chair,
I
I
guess
it
maybe
it
depends
on
the
the
price
of
the
contribution.
You
know,
maybe
those
who
are
offering
something
significant.
We
will
allow
them
to
name
as
they
please,
but
we
could
always
keep
a
a
general
rule
that
that's
something
we
don't
do.
C
Adam
chairs,
this
is
joyce
woodhouse.
I
second,
what
senator
harris
has
said.
I
I
certainly
understand
why
mr
oglesby
would
like
to
do
this,
and
I
respect
that.
So
I
really
don't
have
a
problem
with
this
one,
since
he
is
an
alumnus
and
there's
the
family
connection
of
her
being
on
his
wife,
but
I
think
we,
you
know
we
can
handle
these
things
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
because
you
know
these
scholarships
are
really
important.
B
Madam
chair,
for
me,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
agree
with
senators
harrison
woodhouse
on
this.
My
initial
reaction
was
thinking
about
a
comparable
system
and
say
college
scholarships
where,
if
there's
an
alum
of
a
college,
that
wants
to
fund
a
scholarship
program
and
they
ask
to
have
their
spouse
or
significant
other,
as
part
of
say,
the
naming
of
that
scholarship,
you
know,
usually
a
college,
might
agree
to
that.
As
part
of
the
terms
of
the
scholarship
granted,
you
know
we're
we're
not
a
college
here.
B
This
is
a
a
program
for
young
people
in
our
state
and
we
can
set
whatever
precedent.
I
think
the
board
decides
to
for
this,
so
I
agree
with
the
senators
in
that.
I
think
the
example
and
the
precedent
we
could
set
here
is
that
we
would
take
it
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
the
understanding
with
former
youth
legislator
oglesby
is
that
you
know
he
is
a.
He
is
an
alum
of
this
program.
B
This
was
a
request
that
he
made
in
support
of
his.
You
know
donate
of
his
donation
to
endow
a
scholarship
in
this,
and
I
think
in
this
case
it
would
be
appropriate,
but
of
course,
in
the
future,
we
can
take
it
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
A
And
so
I
would
like
to
take
a
vote
on
this.
We
do
have
a
record
I'd
love
to
just
keep
it
on
the
screenshot
here,
all
those
in
favor
and
again
so
the
way
I
framed
it
you'll
see-
and
I
put
antara
so
that
you
know
it's
that,
there's
something
different
about
that
relationship.
I
mean,
I
know
it's
subtle,
but
it's
sort
of
and
an
add-on
to
his
scholarship
there
and
he
his
sentiment
was
because
he
had
sought
me
out
about
it
that
he,
this
was
something
both
he
and
his
wife.
A
That
decided
they
wanted
to
do.
They
wanted
to
give
back,
and
this
is
how
they
wanted
to
do
it,
so
he
felt
because
it
was
their
family
funding
that
her
name
should
be
on
as
well.
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion
then
that
we
would,
if
I'm
voicing
this
correctly,
that
we
would
accept
this
naming
of
this
scholarship
in
the
way
presented
and
going
forward
because
of
the
family
connection
and
going
forward.
We
would
consider
the
naming
on
on
an
individualized
basis,
as
these
requests
for
named
scholarships
present
themselves
to
the
board.
A
Is
that
correct?
Would
that
work
for
everybody?
So
I'd
accept
a
motion
to
approve
the
motion,
the
language
that
I've
just
proposed.
A
I
am
way
old
on
a
very
small
screen.
We
have
a
motion
from
senator
harris.
Do
we
have
a
second?
I
will
second,
second
from
senator
woodhouse
any
additional
discussion.
C
A
It
looks
like
unanimous
support
among
members
president.
Thank
you
all
very
much
moving
on
then
to
oh
and
that
will
be
uploaded
now
that
we've
approved
that
we
will
upload
the
scholarship
information
and
let
the
current
youth
legislators
as
well
as
the
alumni
aware,
we'll
put
a
notice
out
shortly.
Therefore,
our
plan
is
prior
to
or
as
of
february
1st,
this
information
will
go
up
and
we
will
then
notify
on
number
five
update
of
our
meetings
and
trainings.
A
If
you'll
look
at
my
report,
what
is
amazing
since
we
went
virtual,
is
with
the
covet
pandemic
and-
and
I
had
reported
this
at
our
june
meeting
when
we
did
our
optional
zoom
conversation
at
that
time,
we
had
19
youth
legislators
and
all
of
them
participated
for
two
hours
in
that
optional
zoom
conversation.
A
A
We
have
been
unable
to
fill
those
vacancies
during
the
challenges
that
were
dealing
with,
but
18
youth
legislators
in
this
current
school
year,
and
we
had
100
purchase
100
participation
in
the
september
second
meeting,
which
dealt
with
course
election,
and
they
learned
about
bdr
development
that
was
their
midterm
training
on
bill
drafting
of
the
october
13th,
which
was
the
review
and
they
narrowed
it
down
from
their
18
to
seven
to
two
bdrs,
which
brought
it
down
to
the
final
two
and
100
participation
in
the
november
19th
meeting,
where
they
determined
their
bdr,
the
one
bdr,
also
for
the
first
time,
as
I
recall
in
the
nearly
13-year
history
of
the
program.
A
What
I
did
not
put
on
here,
because
at
the
time
I
wrote
this,
it
hadn't
happened
yet,
and
that
was
the
nyl
meeting
yesterday,
during
which
youth
legislators
did
finalize
with
the
extraordinary
assistance
of
asher
killian
our
council.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
asher
for
your
amazing
contributions.
A
They
did
approve
their
of
the
final
language.
You
will
see
it
should
be
in
your
packet
that
the
bdr
has
submitted
as
drafted
by
legal,
and
it
is
bdr
old
eyes
here.
Bdr
14-549.
A
A
They
they
processed
processed
extraordinarily
seriously
and
with
great
insight
and
curiosity
and
the
in
the
final
voting,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
shifting
and
changing
and
discussions
that
continue
to
show
up
the
bill
as
approved
the
bdr
is
approved
by
the
youth
legislators
has
three
additional
components.
Three
amendments
of
that
asher
and
team
will
integrate
into
the
final
language
that
will
go
to
the
legislature.
A
So
it
was
an
extraordinarily
thoughtful
procedure
yesterday
with
youth
legislators,
and
it
is
a
joy
that
we
will
have
our
chair
as
hila,
mesquel
and
also
youth
legislator.
Melendez
present
there
on
the
agenda
in
just
a
moment,
because
this
was
the
request.
If
you
would
recall
at
our
june
meeting,
our
board
wanted
to
learn
about
the
bill
and
learn
about
it
from
those
who
are
most
fully
engaged
with
it,
and
that's
our
chair
and
the
primary
sponsor
of
the
measure,
and
they
are
here
to
present
that
to
you
in
just
a
moment.
A
Looking
I'm
going
back
and
forth
bear
with
me
so
going
forward.
We
will.
We
have
one
more
required
activity,
and
that
is
well.
They
also
by
the
way
in
the
report,
did
testimony
before
public
decision-making
body
and
what
was
amazing
about
this.
We
adapted
how
they
could
do
it,
obviously
with
pandemic
and
provided
suggestions
and
and
recommendations
or
opportunities
ideas
about
a
written
testimony
so
giving
them
the
alternative.
In
the
past
it
was
encouraged.
A
We
said
testifying
in
person
before
a
public
body,
and
so
at
this
point
it
would
be
a
virtual
presence.
It
could
be
email,
it
could
be
zoom,
it
could
be
telephone
and
re
and
or
any
of
those
written,
and
so
we
provided
tips
about
submitting
written
testimony
and
and
a
little
bit
of
a
template
for
that,
and
it
was
amazing,
you'll
see
just
the
diversity
of
bodies
that
the
youth
legislators
testified
before,
whether
it
be
the
economic
forum
or
school
district
or
the
librarian
museum
board
or
legislative
committees.
A
They
became
very,
very
innovative
in
how
they
approached
the
challenges
of
the
times
and
the
intention
of
the
assignment
it
was
extraordinary
and
what
was
really
lovely
in
getting
the
reports
of
the
experience,
because
for
every
activity
they
submitted
a
report
to
us
how
enriched
their
excuse
me,
patriot,
wants
to
be
part
of
the
call
how
enriched
their
own
enlightenment
was
the
the
expanded
awareness
that
they
they
got
to
expose
himself
to
and
and
how
important
their
engagement
was
in
the
conversation
and
historically
this
particular
assignment,
though
sometimes
it's,
I
won't
say,
underplayed,
but
we
spend
so
much
about
the
bill
and
and
other
things.
A
Historically.
This
is
one
assignment
that
we
have
most
of
the
revelations
around
it's
where
the
big
wow
now
moments
often
show
up,
because
it's
an
individual
experience
and
they've
grown
into
it
and
they
get
to
shine
and-
and
it
was
extraordinarily
well
demonstrated
even
during
pandemic-
how
big
this
was
going
forward.
We
so
the
last
the
activity,
the
next
required
activity,
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit,
but
it's
an
outreach
letter.
We
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later.
A
They
don't
have
any
more
other
than
that
letter
coming
up
april.
22Nd
is
not
required.
It's
optional,
a
zoom
conversation.
We
have
this
at
the
end,
a
conversation
of
some
sort
at
the
end
of
every
year.
A
In
the
past
it
was
a
telephone
call
and
we
might
get
four
or
five
or
six
again,
as
I
mentioned
in
may,
we
had
a
conversation.
We
had
all
we
had
100
attendance
for
two
hours,
so
I'm
hoping
we'll
have
the
same
and
what
we
garner
from
these
conversations.
It's
it's
not
just
kumbaya
yeah.
It
really
felt
great.
We
have
specific
questions
that
we
feel
from
them
so
that
we
can
grow
the
program
through
their
input
based
on
their
experiences.
A
We
continue
to
listen
very
carefully
and
I
can
assure
you
that
some
of
the
biggest
leaps
of
improvement
in
the
program
have
been
the
result
of
this
feedback.
During
these
end-of-year
calls,
we
pay
extraordinary
attention
to
how
they
share
their
message,
with
both
their
heads
and
their
hearts,
what
it
means
to
them
and
how
it
shows
up.
So
I'm
hoping
as
last
year
that
we
will
have
an
extraordinary
attendance
at
that
and
then
the
annual
report
to
the
governor,
which
is
again
annual
every
year.
A
The
chair
will
prepare
this
and
and
submit
we
work
with
the
chair.
We
provide
examples
through
the
similar
report
of
a
similar
year,
so
we
will
send
the
chair
at
least
the
report
from
two
years
ago,
if
not,
that
one
and
the
one
two
years
before
that,
so
that
she
has
an
opportunity
to
see
what
content
and
then
we'll
work
with
the
chair
to
make
sure
that
it's
she's
comfortable
with
it
and
also
ensure
that
it
is
distributed
according
to
the
way
the
the
law
requires.
A
I
think
that's
it
for
that
agenda
item.
So
now
what
I'd
like
to
do,
and
that's
just
a
report-
we
don't
need
to
vote
on
that.
Are
there
any
questions?
I
know
I
get
yaki
yaki
very
excited
about
what
we've
been
doing
and
what
they've
been
doing
because
they've
shown
up
110.
A
Okay,
then,
we
will
move
on
to
very
exciting
listening
to
our
youth
legislators
under
agenda
item
number
five,
I
mean
a
number
six
excuse
me.
We
have
our
chair
chairman,
haley
mezcal
and
also
under
seven.
We
will
have
chair
mesquel
and
youth
legislator.
A
Melendez
work
together
on
it,
but
under
agenda
item
number
six
chair,
hilly
mezcal.
Will
you
please
present
the
the
selection
process
that
the
nyl
experienced
to
get
to
the
point
of
yesterday
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
nyl
chair,
mesquile.
E
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
nevada
youth
legislature
board
for
the
record,
my
name
is:
I
represent
senate
district
9.
I
currently
serve
as
the
chair
of
the
nevada
youth
legislature
with
me.
Today
is
youth
legislator,
juliana
melendez,
representing
senate
district
10..
She
first
proposed
the
juvenile
justice
measure,
which
we
selected
as
our
bill
to
be
introduced
during
the
81st
session
of
the
nevada
legislature
of
the
nevada
legislature.
E
I'm
appearing
before
you
primarily
to
share
some
background
information
about
how
the
nyl
selected
this
measure
as
it
is
statutorily
provided
bill
youth
legislator
melendez
will
walk
you
through
the
details
of
the
bill
again
before
youth
legislator.
Melendez
explains
the
nyl
bill,
our
intention
with
this
measure
and
the
benefits
that
it
will
deliver.
I
would
like
to
describe
how
we,
as
the
nevada
youth
legislature,
chose
this
bdr
for
introduction.
E
E
E
E
It
is
now
my
privilege
to
again
introduce
youth
legislator
juliana
melendez
to
help
you
better
understand
the
need
for
this
legislative
measure
and
why
we
are
so
eager
to
present
and
advocate
for
this
bill.
During
the
upcoming
legislative
session
following
youth
legislator,
melendez's
presentation,
each
of
us
looks
forward
to
answering
any
questions
that
the
members
of
the
nyo
board
might
have.
Thank
you,
youth
legislator,
melendez.
D
Yes,
okay,
great!
Thank
you
so
much
one
moment
so
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
nyl
board
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
share
some
more
information
about
bdr,
14
549.,
just
to
start
off.
My
name
is
youth
legislator,
julianna
melendez
and
I
represent
senate
district
10..
D
We
are
all
here
because
we
care
about
our
nevadan
youth,
whether
we
have
children,
grandkids,
younger
friends
or
our
youth
ourselves.
We
have
a
personal
responsibility
to
protect
them
in
order
to
fully
carry
out
this
duty
of
protection.
We
cannot
ignore
the
fact
that
minority
youth
are
amongst
the
most
vulnerable
within
our
communities,
and
this
vulnerability
leaves
them
open
to
discrimination
based
solely
upon
their
race.
D
This
issue
is
extremely
prevalent
within
our
juvenile
justice
system.
Nevada
has
the
sixth
highest
rate
of
student
arrest
in
the
nation
and
within
the
last
three
years,
black
youth
accounted
for
43
of
police
referrals,
while
only
making
up
17
of
the
student
body
in
clark
county,
specifically
black
and
brown
youths
make
up.
76
of
all
juvenile
cases
refer
to
the
district
attorney's
office.
D
The
addition
of
religious
minorities
under
section
1,
subsection
2b,
and
we
added
language
specifying
the
timing
of
the
implicit
bias
and
cultural
competency
training
just
to
the
general
effect
of
having
them
occur
every
two
years,
unless
otherwise
decided
by
the
attorney
general
on
the
topic
of
funding
a
concept
comparable
to
what
we
are
attempting
to
achieve
through
bd.
I'm.
So
sorry,
my
cat
sneezing
on
the
topic
of
finding
a
concept
comparable
to
bdr14549
is
restorative
justice.
D
Also
the
state
of
nevada
spends
2.7
times
as
much
per
prisoner
as
per
public
school
student
and
with
less
students
in
the
juvenile
justice
system.
We
can
allocate
these
funds
towards
community
needs,
such
as
directing
attention
towards
mental
health
in
schools
or
providing
funding
for
our
school
staff.
D
In
today's
current
political
climate,
it
is
urgent,
more
so
now
than
ever
to
address
the
inequality
faced
by
minority
youth
within
the
nevada
and
juvenile
justice
system.
I
personally
have
friends
who
have
been
targeted
by
school
police
and
treated
differently
compared
to
their
white
counterparts,
specifically
because
of
the
color
of
their
skin.
D
D
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
to
both
our
chair
and
our
youth
legislator.
Primary
sponsor
of
this
bdr,
I'm
still
in
awe
of
the
the
level
of
passion
and
purpose
and
integrity
and
authenticity
and
all
those
big
quality
words
that
the
nyl
has
invested
in
this
bdr
and
and
single
out,
particularly
the
utilizer
melendez,
whose
dream
it
was
to
see
this
bill
make
it
to
this
place.
I
will
now
open
it
up
to
questions
from
board
members.
This
is
your
time
to
have
enough,
have
an
exchange
and
ask
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
ma'am,
chair
and,
first
of
all,
I'm
I
want
to
give
thanks
and
appreciation
to
chair
heli,
mescal
and
youth
legislator,
melinda's
on
the
work
that
they've
been
putting
into
this
alongside
their
colleagues
on
the
youth
legislature
and
in
particular
working
on
this
sort
of
pandemic
and
physical
distancing
so
kudos
to
both
of
you
and
to
all
of
your
colleagues
on
the
youth
legislature
for
your
leadership
during
this
this
time,
and
I
also
appreciate
youth
leslie
melinda's,
your
your
mention
and
nod
to,
I
think,
some
very
long
overdue
reckoning
with
issues
around
racial
and
socioeconomic
justice,
both
in
our
own
community
but
also
nationwide.
B
So
one
question
I
do
have,
and
maybe
it's
come
up
in
some
of
your
meetings
or
you've
had
some
discussions
with
others
around
this.
I'm
curious
to
hear
your
thoughts
around
the
issue
of
trainings
cultural
competency,
trainings,
looking
at
education
or
other
fields
where
there
are
trainings
or
workshops
provided
on
this
work
there
there
are
those
who
will
critique
the
effectiveness
of
these
trainings.
You
know
and
they
can
come
from
different
directions
right.
There
are
some
who
might
say
that.
Oh,
this
is
an
attempt
to
impose.
B
You
know
like
one
certain
way
of
thinking
about
an
issue,
and
then
there
are
others
who
might
say
that
these
trainings
or
workshops
will
not
go
far
enough
in
addressing
root
causes
around
racism
or
other
forms
of
of
prejudice.
I'm
so
I
was
curious
who
slept
later
melendez
from
your
perspective
and
maybe
some
of
the
discussions
that
your
colleagues
have
had
on
youth
legislature.
D
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
questions
so
first
off
to
address
the
issue
of
whether
or
not
these
trainings
would
be
effective
on
whether
or
not
they
fit
within
current
policy.
That's
being
made
at
one
of
our
meetings
where
we
had
witnesses
come
up,
we
had
a
prosecutor,
her
name
was
miss
duffy
and
she
is
living
proof
that
the
trainings
do
work.
She
gave
a
very
moving
testimony.
D
She
worked
with
the
las
vegas
case
here,
where
there
was
an
instagram
account
made
of
black
students
at
arbor
view,
high
school
that
were
being
targeted
and
she,
as
a
prosecutor,
went
through
and
then
put
them
by
slash
cultural
competency,
training,
and
she
felt
that
without
that
training
she
would
not
have
been
able
to
deal
with
that
case
as
effectively
as
she
did.
D
She
made
her
whole
team,
go
through
the
training
and
he
also
had
a
witness
from
the
djjs,
and
they
say
that
they
already
have
trainings
in
place
as
well,
that
they
feel
meet
federal
standards
and
they
meet
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
they
would
also
like
for
these
trainings
to
be
implemented
in
other
parts
of
the
juvenile
justice
system,
for
example
with
the
las
vegas
mpd.
D
So
I
do
believe
that
these
premiums
are
effective.
They
do
something,
I'm
sure
there's
also
going
to
be
critique,
but
just
from
my
perspective
from
the
witnesses
that
I
was
able
to
speak
to
and
listen
to,
the
trainings
will
have
positive
effects
will
be
able
to
address
these
issues
and
as
long
as
we're
taking
big
steps
in
the
right
direction,
I
feel
dismost.
D
B
B
I've
heard
from
folks
who
have
different
opinions
around
trainings
or
workshops
and
whether
or
not
they're
quote
unquote
effective
in
addressing
implicit
bias
or
other
prejudices.
But
I
think
you,
you
definitely
highlighted
an
important
point.
Right
like
there
might
not
be
any
one
individual
and
all
be
all
to
address
some
of
these
deeply
rooted
issues
and
deeply
seated
problems
that
are
continuing
to
affect
communities
of
marginalized
backgrounds.
B
Where
is
an
area
within
the
broader
scope
of
of
this
problem,
but
where's
like
a
what's
a
slice
of
that
that
you
and
your
your
peers
have
identified
that
you
want
to
work
on
and
if
you
can
make
one
positive
impact
and
change.
Even
in
that
one
slice,
you
can
in
the
long
run,
have
a
broader
positive
impact
on
the
larger
system.
So
kudos
to
you
and
your
peers
for
continuing
this
work
and
really
thinking
that
through.
Thank
you.
A
What
I'd
like
to
do
because
this
showed
up
a
little
bit
later
in
the
discussion
yesterday
and
it's
it's
it's
a
very
important
piece
of
it:
youth,
legend,
youth,
legislator,
melendez,
if
you
would
explain
the
the
potency
and
power
of
and
accountability
that
is
integral
to
the
affidavit
this.
This
would
possibly
add
more
understanding
to
the
intention
of
the
bill.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
the
second
major
highlight
of
the
bill
is
the
fact
that
anybody
who
filed
a
petition
with
the
court
against
a
juvenile
would
have
to
sign
an
affidavit
and
within
the
affidavit
it
says
that
this
individual
has
undergone
a
cultural
competency,
flash
and
supposed
by
its
training
and
that
they
are
not
filing
the
petition
due
to
any
underlying
biases
or
out
of
any
form
of
discrimination
defined
within
the
definition
of
cultural
competency
within
the
bill.
D
And
what
was
discussed
yesterday
was
how
would
this
hold
these
individuals
filing
these
petitions
accountable?
So
what
happens
is
because
it
is
a
court
document
it
will
be
in
the
court
records
if
it
is
later
brought
up
or
a
defense
attorney
tries
to
make
the
argument
that
the
individual
that
signed
me
after
david
lied
that
maybe
they
did
not
go
to
training
or
that
they
did
file
it
out
of
discrimination.
D
They
would
therefore
be
held
accountable.
So
how
that
accountability
takes
form
is,
I
believe,
ultimately
up
to
the
discretion
of
the
court,
but
because
it
is
a
legal
document
that
they
sign
themselves,
because
they
are
supposed
to
have
candor
towards
the
court
and
towards
whatever
documents
they
find,
that
there
would
be
accountability
taken,
and
that
was
a
safety
measure
we
put
in
place
just
to
ensure
that
the
bill
isn't
being
made,
for.
D
I
would
say,
like
willy-nilly
reasons
that
it
is
actually
implemented
and
that
there
is
action
taking
place
if
the
requirements
of
the
bill
are
not
met.
So,
madam
chair,
I
hope
that
answered
that
the
david
question.
A
C
Yes,
please
go
ahead.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
has
been
a
an
incredible
discussion
on
this
bill
and-
and
I
have
to
be
very
honest-
that
it's
prob-
the
presentation
of
these
two
young
women
this
afternoon
is
probably
better
than
most
presentations
done
by
adults
in
front
of
the
legislature
when
they're
pursuing
their
their
their
pieces
of
legislation.
C
So
to
both
of
you,
I
just
want
to
say
I
am
so
impressed-
and
I
am
so
proud
of
you
both,
and
I
just
want
to
wish
you
good
luck
on
and
best
wishes
on
this
bill
as
it
moves
forward
through
the
the
legislature.
You've
done
an
incredible
job
and
it
as
zana
kudo
lim
said
earlier.
You
know
kudos
to
you
and
your
colleagues
on
the
nevada,
nevada,
youth
legislature
for
pursuing
this
bill.
That
certainly
is
something
that's
desperately
needed
and
once
again
our
students
lead
the
way.
So
thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
so
much
vice
chair,
woodhouse
and
I'd
like
to
add,
because
I
was
privileged
to
attend
and
participate
at
some
level
in
yesterday's
consideration
of
this
bdr
and
the
subsequent
amendments
that,
as
you
state,
that
the
articulation
at
the
highest
level
by
the
youth
legislators,
their
scrutiny
of
the
language
and
positioning
of
words
and
the
intentions
and
all
the
things
that
go
into
a
bill.
A
The
performance
from
start
to
finish
on
this
measure
was
delivered
at
the
highest
level
of
consideration
and
the
unfoldment
of
these
young
people,
as
demonstrated
today
by
the
two
representatives,
the
nyl
each
of
each.
You
know
each
of
us
on
this
board,
as
well
as
all
of
the
appointing
senators
and
members
of
the
assembly
who
are
part
of
this
process
too.
A
A
We've
not
had
this
level
of
engagement
in
the
entire
history,
and
also
I
want
the
kudos
to
this
board
for
supporting
the
work
of
these
young
people,
who
aren't
letting
a
pandemic
get
in
the
way
of
presenting
and
and
offering
to
the
legislature
an
extraordinary
bill
for
consideration
that
that
reflects
an
issue
that
is
resonating
very
clearly.
I
might
also
add
on-
and
I
haven't
gone
back
to
look
at
the
actual
voting
record.
A
However,
in
recent
two-year
terms
of
the
youth
legislature,
this
particular
bill
received
a
resounding
vote
of
support.
Historically,
throughout
the
program,
we've
often
had
to
take
two
or
three
votes
between
the
top
two
bills
to
determine
which
one
would
be
the
bill
going
forward,
because
there
was
passion
surrounding
both
that
comparable
passion
for
each
both
were
significant
proposals.
A
This
one
resonated
at
a
very,
very
high
level,
and
the
vote
was
very,
very
significantly
supportive
when
it
came
down
to
the
vote
to
select.
This
is
the
bill
so
again
a
little
more
background
on
on
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
so.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
or.
C
Harris
from
the
sounds
of
it,
it
looks
like
this
will
be
coming
through
judiciary.
Yes,
yes,
as
did
nyl's
last
bill,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
hearing
that
during
session.
A
Thank
you.
Yes,
it
it.
We
we've
already
put
in
our
requests
and
I'm
going
to
be
addressing
that
in
just
a
moment
and
if
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I
want
to
thank
our
chair
and
our
primary
sponsors
sponsor
for
appearing
before
the
nyl
board
today
articulating
at
the
highest
level
with
both
head
and
heart.
A
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
all
to
us,
so
we
can
experience
the
high
level
of
engagement
that
you
have
been
demonstrating
as
the
nyl
for
two
years
and
demonstrating
your
leadership
in
this
program,
and
we
are
very
excited
if
I
may
speak
for
the
others,
to
look
ahead
to
know
that
this
level
of
engagement
and
interest
will
continue
moving
forward
and
we're
thrilled
that
this
program
has
been
a
piece
of
that
to
inspire
you
and
to
give
you
a
platform
to
learn
skills
and
to
take
it
forward.
A
So
thank
you
both
for
attending
our
meeting
for
participating
and
for
presenting
this
invaluable
information
to
us.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
Yes,.
B
Please,
mr
akulem,
yes,
and
if,
if
there's
a
little
bit
of
time,
I
was
curious.
If,
if
I
could
ask
both
the
youth
legislators
for
just
some
brief
reflections
on
what
what
is
the
experience,
what
is
their
experience?
Just
as
youth
legislators,
you
know
representing
young
people
in
their
senate
districts.
B
What
has
that
felt
like
over
the
past
year
going
through
the
challenges
that
the
state
has
faced
for
me
as
as
an
alum
of
the
program,
I
think
back
as
you
and
senator
woodhouse
would
recall
to
when
I
served
on
the
youth
legislature
during
the
previous
great
recession
in
our
state,
going
through
challenges
with
funding
of
education
and
other
challenges
through
through
that
time
and
how
how
difficult
it
was
for
many
of
my
colleagues
and
I
during
that
period
facing
challenges
and
representing
our
peers.
E
I
would
first
like
to
start
off
by
thanking
madden
chair,
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
nyo
board
for
giving
youth
legislator
melendez,
and
I
the
opportunity
to
present
the
bdr,
and
we
are
open
to
questions
beyond
the
meeting
about
the
bdr
as
well
and
being
the
leader
during
this
pandemic.
It
definitely
did
like
strike
me
by
surprise.
The
pandemic
was
definitely
unexpected
and
I
didn't
really.
E
I
didn't
expect
it
at
all.
However,
to
me,
being
the
leader
was
just
being
there
for
my
peers
and
letting
my
peers
know
that
we're
all
going
through
it
together
constantly
checking
up
on
them.
There's
not
really
like
words
of
encouragement.
You
can
give
words
of
encouragement,
but
I
didn't
want
to
give
anyone
false
hope
like
when
we're
going
to
be
going
back
to
school,
because
none
of
us
really
know
the
answers
to
those
questions.
D
Hi,
yes,
thank
you
so
much
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
so
I
being
a
leader
during
this
pandemic
at
first.
I
will
be
honest.
I
was
very
discouraged.
It
was
very
much
so
thoughts
along
the
lines
of
what
can
I
do.
I
mean
I
hold
these
titles,
but
what
can
I
really
do
to
help
my
peers
and
my
friends
get
through
these
tough
times
and
echoing
what
a
youth
legislator
hitting
this
school
said
was.
D
I
didn't
want
to
give
anybody
false
hope,
so
how
I
personally
went
about
being
a
leader
was
taking
action,
so
it
was
going
to
school
board
meetings.
It
was
talking
to
my
school
administration,
talking
to
my
my
fellow
peers,
about
what
they
wanted
to
see
happen
within
school.
What
changes
they
wanted
to
see?
D
What
support
they
needed,
just
really,
making
sure
that
they
felt
listened
to
and
that
they
felt
like
they
had
somebody
they
could
go
to,
and
I
kind
of
just
wanted
to
act
as
the
sort
of
middleman
between
my
peers
and
those
above
me
in
terms
of
position,
because
I
know
personally
at
my
school,
it's
kind
of
hard
for
my
peers
to
speak
to
school
admin.
D
Sometimes
so
I
sort
of
take
that
responsibility
upon
myself,
but
this
has
definitely
been
a
huge
learning
experience
being
a
leader
during
a
pandemic,
but
I
feel
it's
definitely
strengthened
my
skills
like
communicating
learning
how
to
effectively
communicate
with
adults
more
so
just
things
along
those
lines.
So
this
has
been
definitely
a
tough
situation,
but
something
that's
allowed
me
to
grow
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
the
opportunity.
B
And
if
I
may
just
reflect
back
madam
chair
real
real
briefly
here,
when
I
think
back
to
even
my
own
time
on
the
youth
legislature
and
the
lessons
that
my
peers
and
I
learned
leadership,
lessons
leadership
experiences,
it's
difficult
to
imagine
that
you
might
have
to
apply
those
lessons,
especially
especially
in
a
circumstance
like
what
we've
been
going
through
with
pandemic.
B
But
at
the
same
time,
if
there's
ever
a
circumstance
in
which
to
apply
those
lessons.
This
is
it
and
I
want
to
commend
as
an
alum
of
the
program,
both
of
you
and
your
peers
for
the
extraordinary
leadership
that
all
of
you
have
had
to
demonstrate,
especially
throughout
the
challenges
that
the
state
and
young
people
have
faced
through
the
pandemic
and
throughout
the
past
year.
B
So
thank
you
both
for
your
reflections
and
I
think
I
can
speak
for
my
colleagues
here
on
this
board
and
saying
that
we
look
forward
to
following
not
only
the
work
that
you'll
be
doing
during
session
on
behalf
of
the
bill
and
other
efforts
you're
following,
but
how
this
program
will
how
you'll
be
able
to
apply
these
lessons
in
your
futures
as
alumni?
So,
thank
you
both.
A
Anyone
else,
thanks
again
to
our
youth
legislators,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
we
move
into
the
the
nyl
day
and
presenting
this
measure
to
the
committee
and
beyond,
and
so
in
that
regard,
I
will
move
then
on
to
agenda
item
number
eight,
which
is
giving
you
an
a
a
look,
a
tentative
look
at
what
people
wanted
to
see.
Everybody
keep
putting
me
on
the
screen.
What
it
looks
like-
and
this
is
tentative
currently
at
this
time,
all
those
caveats
to
qualify.
A
This
is
the
working
plan
and
then
the
details
will
follow
and
so
nyl
day
will
be
march,
16th
2021
that
has
been
scheduled.
I
believe,
tina's
working
on
that
as
nyl
day
at
the
legislature.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
variables
that
will
be
taken
into
account.
Of
course,
we
don't
know
what
all
that
looks
like
right
now.
So
this
is
our
hope
at
this
point
that
we
would
like
to
roll
out.
This
is
where
we're
the
starting
point.
We
would
because
we
will.
Hopefully
we
will
be
able
to
be
scheduled
in
the
judiciary
committee
in
the
senate
on
that
day.
For
the
hearing,
it
is
our
plan
at
this
time
once
the
language
has
been
crafted
based
on
yesterday's
votes
and
decisions
of
the
nyl.
A
Mr
killian
now
is
prepared
to
draft
the
language
that
would
be
introduced
at
the
legislature.
So
I
hope
once
we
have
that
language,
then
we
have
something
to
present
to
the
committee
prior
to
session,
hopefully
or
shortly
thereafter,
starting
because
that's
real
soon,
so
we
can
get
scheduled
and
and
we're
requesting
that
that
hearing
be
on
march
16th,
so
that
we
can
integrate
it
into
the
entire
nyl
day.
A
The
last
two
terms.
I
believe
I
think
it's
the
last
two
recently
in
the
history
program.
We
have
given
the
graduating
seniors
a
very
special
graduation
court.
They
would
wear
at
graduation
get
permission
to
wear,
but
there
are
only
so
few
in
the
state
that
would
have
this
particular
cord
and
it's
silver
and
blue,
and
it's
a
cord
that
they
could
wear.
You
know
with
the
cap
and
gown,
but
I
was
thinking
since
we
can't
give
them
to
him
that
maybe
we
could
have
a
symbolic
ceremonial
presentation
by
the
majority
leader
again.
A
A
Following
that,
we
would
do
a
lunch
break
because
that's
a
morning
activity
and
and
then
we
would
hopefully,
if
we
can
get
be
scheduled
for
senate
judiciary,
then
we
would
work
with
the
broadcast
services
bps
to
ensure
that
youth
legislator,
our
chair,
helen
maskel
and
youth
legislator,
melendez,
can
participate
via
zoom
or
whatever.
A
The
technology
is
to
do
similar
presentation
to
what
you
heard
today,
and
then
it
is
the
attention
that
youth
legislators
who
choose
to
against
this
is
optional,
prepare
and
get
to
us
written
testimony
in
support
of
their
bill.
We've
never
done
this
before
pandemic
got
the
juices
going
they've
just
done
written
testimony,
and
I
prepared
a
two-page
handout
to
refine.
A
What
that
you
know
quality
things
they
might
want
to
put
in
it
to
submit
written
testimony
in
support
of
their
bill,
and
so
that
we
can
submit
this
record
this
testimony
from
youth
legislators
written
testimony
to
the
committee
in
support
of
their
bill.
What
makes
this
so
amazing
is
that
it
is
the
perfect
bringing
it
all
together
of
each
youth
legislator,
who
chooses
to
be
totally
involved
with
their
bill
up
and
through
the
presentation
to
the
committee
and
that
their
words
can
be
part
of
the
permanent
record.
A
So
it
just
really
pulls
it
all.
Together
and
again,
this
will
be
optional,
we'll
give
them
a
due
date
and
we'll
see
who
chooses
to
present
testimony
if
it's
possible,
I
may
pull,
I
may
do
a
drawing
as
to
senate
districts
or
something
to
make
it
equitable
and
maybe
a
pull
a
sentence
or
two
from
several
of
the
testimonies
and
verbally
enter
that
into
the
records.
So
it
can
actually
be
heard.
A
Then
after
the
hearing
we
will
do.
However,
technology
supports
it.
A
debriefing
and
discussion
we're
going
to
provide
them
with
worksheets
to
fill
out
and
kind
of
keep
track
and
stay
with
the
hearing,
so
that
they're
making
observations
and
taking
notes
that
they're
fully
engaged
in
the
hearing
as
they
watch
it
remotely
and
then
we'll
have
a
debriefing
and
discussion.
However,
we
can
pull
them
together
virtually
following
that
and
if
there's
some
version
of
an
in
person
by
then
you
know
social,
distancing
and
all
that
at
each
you
know
here
and
in
carson
city.
A
We
would
love
to
complete
this
time
this
condensed
nyl
day
and
have
our
traditional
carrot
cake
and
share
what
the
day's
experience
felt
like
and
looked
like
and
how
they
grew
through
it
and
so
on
and
again
this
is
tentative.
But
this
is
what
nyl
day
on
march
16th
looks
like
at
this
point,
so
any
questions
or
thoughts
or
suggestions.
A
A
Okay,
now
we'll
work
onto
recruitment
and
outreach
agenda
item
number
nine:
this
is
the
last
required
activity
of
the
youth
legislature
is,
and
it's
due,
oh
shoot.
I
don't
have
the
date
on
it
at
the.
I
think
me
by
the
end
of
february.
Oh,
I
didn't
write
it
down
tina.
Could
you
tell
us
what
that
date
is.
A
A
This
letter,
we've
created,
a
very
a
functional,
worksheet,
a
template
for
them-
and
this
is
a
recruitment
outreach
recruitment
letter
that
they
will
send
to
at
least
two
organizations
that
are
outside
of
their
traditional
school
environment,
and
they
will
provide
us
with
the
name
and
the
title
or
role
of
the
of
the
person
and
the
organization
where
the
to
to
whom
they
are
sending
it.
A
A
We
were
asked
yesterday
if
they
have
to
have
already
circulated
the
letter
by
the
23rd
to
those
at
least
two
people
outside,
and
I
gave
them
some
flexibility
saying
no,
but
we
do
need
to
see
the
letter
we
gave
them.
A
I
mean
again
on
the
worksheet,
the
the
template
kind
of
we
gave
them
things
to
include
in
the
letter
and
they
can
do
it
in
their
own
language,
but
certain
things
that
will
make
it
an
appealing
recruitment
letter
and
as
close
as
we
are
to
to
require
they
send
it
out
by
that
deadline,
we'll
hold
their
honor
that
they
do
that.
Following
submitting
the
letter
to
us,
we
need
legislator
assistance.
So
this
is
where
we
need
your
input
and
your
your
intelligence.
A
I'm
sorry,
my
finger
keeps
showing,
but
I
lose
you.
We
had
talked
about
this
before
engaging
legislators
to
help
with
the
outreach
and
the
recruitment.
A
This
will
give
us
a
wonderful
reach
of
very
involved
well
I'll,
say
campus-based
leaders
with
school-based
leadership
to
get
the
energy
up,
and
so
we'll
do
a
letter
to
ask
for
their
help,
because
these
applications
are
already
up
they're
already
online,
and
so
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
them,
which
is
a
great
resource,
and
so
we
need
your
help.
Some
suggestions
as
to
how
we
can
get
the
legislators
excited
about
it
to
reach
out
to
young
people
or
to
reach
out
to
people.
A
They
know,
because
we
historically
might
in
person,
visit
the
student
councils
or
the
honor
societies
or
conferences
of
different
organizations.
We
don't
have
that
that
capacity
right
now.
So
what
would
your
all
thoughts
be
about?
Other
recruitment,
creative
recruitment
opportunities
for
us
to
start
reaching
out,
since
the
applications
are
online?
Already.
A
A
So
we
have
some
time,
but
we
also
need
to
work
ahead,
given
that
we
don't
have
all
of
our
access
opportunities
that
we
typically
have
so
any
suggestions
from
board
members
as
to
what
other
avenues
for
how
we
can
excite
our
legislators
about
helping
with
recruitment
within
everything
else
going
on
or
other
organizations.
You
believe
we
should
reach
out
to.
C
Well,
I
think
this
is
a
really
tough
one
in
regular
times.
I
don't
know
what
schools
are
doing
to
keep
students
engaged
if,
if
there
is
any
focus
on
extracurricular
activities
at
all
right
now,
so
I
guess
that'd
be.
My
first
question
is
maybe
how
is
clark
county
or
the
public
charter
school
authority
facilitating
the
any
type
of
extracurricular
activities
during
copa
times?
Maybe
it's
just
a
quash
all
around
and
we're
just
a
victim
of
that,
but
maybe
there
are
ways
and
avenues
to
keep
students
engaged.
A
Fortunately,
or
and
boy
I
here,
I
am
the
future
predictor,
because
this
takes
effect
in
june.
I
mean
I
appreciate
that
input
center
hairs
because
we're
looking
at
the
current
pool
of
people
to
reach
with
a
message
in
order
to
get
them
to
look
ahead
to
a
time
when
maybe
we
can
gather
in
person
again.
However,
we're
working
in
an
environment
where,
how
do
we
even
get
to
them
free
back
in
person,
environment,
so
zahn
you've
worked
at
pef?
What
do
you
think
the
possibility
with
that's
for
southern
nevada
doesn't
mean
northern?
I
don't.
A
I
don't
know,
what's
comparable
up
there,
that
that
you
know
teachers
in
the
teacher
leader
academy
they
can
reach
out
to
students,
they've
worked
with,
maybe
and
and
the
executive
leadership
program.
That's
the
administrators
at
schools.
What
are
your
thoughts?
Is
that
at
least
a
great
place
to
include,
as
part
of
our
outreach
for
recruitment
of
that
roster
of
people.
Who've
already
demonstrated
high
level
engagement.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
speaking
as
a
former
full-time
staff
member
at
the
foundation.
Now,
but
still
in
touch
with
alumni
of
the
program,
I
think
at
an
individual
level.
B
The
alumni
of
those
leadership
academies
will
be
folks
who
are
generally
quite
well
connected
in
the
broader
school
community
for
teacher
leader
academy,
they're,
mainly
clark,
county
school
district
or
southern
nevada
charter
based
teachers.
So,
from
a
teacher's
angle,
the
teacher
leader
academy
will
be
in
southern
nevada,
the
executive
leadership
academy.
There
are
alumni,
many
of
whom
are
from
southern
nevada,
but
also
from
washoe
and
rural
counties
as
well,
who
are
also
well
connected
in
their
school
or
district
communities.
B
B
I
think
I
think
there's
a
new
director
of
student
activities
for
clark
county
school
district
now
that
sandy
ginger
retired,
I
think
kristen
grimm-
is
now
the
director
of
student
activities
and
offline
from
the
meeting
ma'am
chair.
I
could
chat
with
you
and
see
what
might
be
a
good
way
to
get
in
touch
with
at
least
ccsd's
student
activities
department
and
getting
the
word
after
that
means.
B
One
other
example
would
be.
Maybe
if
you
chat
with
dr
miley
again
at
the
foundation,
to
my
knowledge,
the
clark
county
school
district
has
like
a
weekly
email
blast
that
goes
out
to
administrators.
I
think
we
may
have
used
that
in
the
past
called
the
weekly
wire
and
if
there
might
be
a
way
to
get
in
touch
with
whoever
in
ccsd
compiles
information
for
that.
That
might
be
helpful
in
terms
of
washo
and
some
of
the
other
school
districts.
B
Perhaps
alumni
of
the
executive
leadership
academy,
who
are
leaders
in
in
those
school
districts,
might
might
be
possible
contacts
at
least
ask
you
know
hey
in
washoe
county
school
district.
What's
the
way
to
get
the
word
out,
so
those
are
just
some
ideas
off
top
of
my.
C
I
know
that
superintendent
ebert
has
at
least
weekly
and
sometimes
daily,
on
zoom
calls
and
conference
calls
with
the
superintendents
of
all
of
the
school
districts
and
the
charter
school
authority.
So
if
you
would
like,
I
could
reach
out
to
her
and
provide
some
information
and
ask
her
if
she
would
make
that
information
available
to
those
superintendents
and
encourage
them
to
take
a
look.
You
know
to
get
the
message
on
down
to
the
principals
and
the
other
administrative
staff
in
their
high
schools.
C
The
other
one
is
the
nevada
association
of
school
administrators
has
become
extremely
active
and
they
are
providing
all
kinds.
It's
at
least
monthly,
because
I
get
there,
I
get
all
their
emails.
So
if
you
would
like,
I
would
reach
out
to
their
executive
director
as
well,
and
maybe
we
could
get
him
to
put
something
on
their
website,
their
their
pages
that
they
send
out
to,
and
it's
a
really
broad
group
that
we
could
get
more
information
out.
A
These
things
just
drive
me
nuts
anyway.
I
can
certainly
work
with
you
to
craft.
You
know
whatever
kind
of
message,
because
we
want
to
keep
it
as
simple
as
possible
and
still
make
it
functional
and
and
meaningful.
So
that's
awesome
and
zon.
I
will
reach
out
to
dr
miley
about
what
you're
talking
about
the
the
that
the
alert,
the
weekly
email
alert
and
so
on
and
and
I'll
work
with
dr
miley
at
the
ef
about
getting
messaging
out.
So
it's
so
senator
woodhouse.
A
If
we
work
with
the
nevada
association,
school
administrators,
as
well
as
with
joan
eber
state
department
of
education,
we
have
the
opportunity
then,
to
reach
the
all
of
the
counties,
not
just
washoe
and
clark
but
statewide.
It
would
that
be
a
given
that
we'd
be
able
to
access
statewide
messaging.
C
Whenever
she
has
her
calls
and
her
meetings
so
yes
and
the
nevada
association
of
school
administrators
is
a
state
organization,
so
all
of
their
information
goes
to
everywhere,
all
of
the
school
districts
within
the
state,
as
well
as
the
charter
schools
and,
I
believe,
as
well
as
the
private
schools.
I
think,
they're
all
involved.
A
Oh
okay,
wonderful,
okay,
great,
then.
What
we'll
do
is
come
up
with
some
messaging
and
then
get
on
this
asap,
so
senator
what
else
I'll
be
revisiting
with
you
about?
You
know
what
kind
of
messages
you
think
would
work
with
those
populations
and-
and
we
will
craft
a
very
powerful
message
that
can
be
used
because,
again
march
31,
even
if
we
start
getting
out
now,
then
it's
getting
the
message
to
them
and
then
having
them
get
the
message
out
there
and-
and
you
know,
keeping
it
moving.
A
I
have
to
say:
historically,
it
really
often
takes
this
kind
of
effort.
To
I
mean
we've
done
in
the
past,
we've
worked
with
you,
so
the
school
counselors
we've
worked
with
social
studies.
We've
done
all
of
that
specific
to
those
organizations
within
the
state
structure,
and
we
found
that
often
things
where
we've
had
vacancies
and
sometimes
no
matter
what
we
do.
A
We
have
some
areas
where
vacancies
that
often
it's
when
we
reach
out
to
the
it
was
actually
the
the
association
of
school
administrators
where
they
got
on
it
and
got
onto
principles
said
we
need
someone
from
this
district
and
you're.
The
one
of
the
two
high
schools
get
us
a
student
kind
of
thing.
I
mean
it
sometimes
coming
from
the
top
they
it's
just.
They
get
something
done
in
a
way
that
we
don't
always
do
it
bottom
up.
A
Sometimes
top
down
is
the
distinction
of
action
and
delayed
actions
so
I'll
work
with
you
senator
woodhouse,
if
that's,
okay
and-
and
we
will
expedite
this,
so
we
can
get
the
message
out.
Okay,.
A
You
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
regarding
the
application
which
is
up,
there
are
two
some
shifting
in
this
application.
I
added
some
language
that
we've
had
where
the
parents
sign
off
and
where
the
principals
sign
off
and
there's
now
a
kind
of
a
paragraph
for
each
one
where
their
signature
goes.
That
explains
when
that
they
support
this
student's
application
to
the
program
and
that
it
could
require
a
significant
amount.
A
Sometimes
that
has
been
a
challenge
in
the
past,
where
nobody
knew
that
they
were
gonna
have
to
miss
some
school.
Now,
typically,
we
go
two
to
five,
so
maybe
they
miss
an
hour
or
not
an
hour,
but
when
we
have
a
full
day,
training,
that's
a
different
story,
so
we've
just
put
some
explanatory
language
in
the
application
that
they
sign
so
that
they're
at
least
informed
in
advance
about
what
a
commitment
to
this
program
means
to
the
student,
and
we
have
not
done
that
before.
A
The
die
act
has
become
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge
for
us,
because
it
is
not
an
activity
that
we
can
have
an
adult
supervising
type
there
to
oversee
the
activity
or
certainly
land
assistance
with,
and
so,
if
at
the
suggestion
of
lcb
because
of
limited
oversight
capacity,
we,
this
is
not
going
forward
going
to
be
part
of
our
program
and
looking
back
on
the
history,
since
we
it
was.
I
was
excited
when
the
youth
legislature,
many
years
ago,
voted
unanimously
to
have
an
advisory
council
role.
A
What
in
reality
has
occurred
ever
since
then,
and
getting
more
elaborate
about
what
it
looks
like
and
what
you
can
do,
and
coaching
and
training
on
it.
This
has
consistently
been
very
problematic
for
our
youth
legislators.
I
mean
consistently.
There
may
be
an
exception
here
and
there
where
one
can
get
two
members
and
we
had
one.
I
think
we
had
three,
but
typically
they
struggle
to
get
one
that
this
is
an
overload
for
them.
A
They
have
experienced
a
lot
of
resistance
in
their
efforts
to
recruit
and
get
volunteers
to
participate
in
the
the
die
act,
and
so
that,
and
so
it
has
not
been
as
productive
as
we
had
hoped.
That
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
find
other
ways
to
engage
constituents
in
the
program.
But
again,
lcb
wants
us
to
have
a
more
supervisory
engagement
in
those
activities,
and
also
the
youth
legislators
themselves
have
struggled
with
this
piece
of
the
program
year
after
year,
also
because
of
wanting
to
maintain
the
integrity
of
the
program
and
and
the
individual
components.
A
Lcb
also
recommends
that
town
hall
meetings
be
held
on
a
campus
somewhere
on
campus
or
in
the
school
environment,
so
that
there
can
be
an
adult
present
for
the
town
hall
meeting
again
a
supervisory
role,
these
these
are
pieces
of
a
legislative
program
and
it's
important
that
we
stay
engaged
as
as
the
legislature,
in
whatever
role
we
have,
that
we
stay
engaged
in
the
activities
of
the
young
people
who
have
said
yes
and
taken
the
oath
to
serve
for
two
years.
So
those
are
some
changes,
reflected
both
on
the
application
and
going
forward.
A
Are
there
any
questions
or
thoughts?
Excuse
me,
patriot.
Has
a
comment.
Yes,
okay,
any
any
comments
or
suggestions.
A
Okay,
then
we
will
move
on
to.
I
will
just
give
some
the
miscellaneous
piece
about
awards
that
we
have
earned
between
2008
and
19.
We
had
earned
46
awards
national
international
awards
from
these
various
organizations
and
in
220
we
earned
another
six.
A
So
we
are,
we
have
earned
52
awards,
I'm
not
sure
that
that's
the
number
I
have
in
my
records
tina
and
I
are
still
reconciling
that's
still
an
awful
lot
of
recognition
and
I
continue
to
submit
our
program
annual
training
binders
each
year
to
four
different,
highly
recognized
professional
organizations
that
evaluate
the
work
that
we
do,
and
so
I'm
that
I
will
be
getting
ready
for
two
more
of
those
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
that
just
brings
us
up
to
where
we
are
in
terms
of
third
party
objective
recognition
of
the
work
that
the
legislative
staff
and
the
board
and
everybody
contributes
to
the
magnificence
and
excellence
of
this
program
that
is
being
recognized
on
a
regular
basis
internationally.
A
A
So
are
there
any
board
comments
as
we
get
to
the
conclusion
of
this
meeting
any
comments,
or
I
would
give
us
a
talk
about
a
date
for
the
next
meeting,
but
the
next
meeting
would
involve
a
new
board
or
it
could
be
us,
but
it
will
be
the
board
that
will
be
appointed
by
this
next
legislature,
so
that
would
be
determined
by
the
the
board
that
will
step
into
our
shoes
going
forward
for
the
next
two-year
term.
Mr
okunam.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
my
comment.
I
want
to
echo
the
thank
you
that
you
have
in
your
report,
thanks
to
lcb
and
all
the
amazing
folks
who
continue
to
dedicate
themselves
and
their
time
and
their
passion
to
supporting
this
program
as
an
alumnus.
It's
still
amazing,
to
see
how
much
the
program
continues
to
grow
and
like
you've
shared
many
times.
Madam
chair
seems
like
every
year
you
might
think
wow
the
program
can't
get
any
better,
and
yet
it
does.
B
When
I
was
on
the
youth
legislature,
I
thought
it
was
already
amazing
and
now
I
I
sometimes
ask
myself:
oh,
it
would
be
really
cool
to
experience
that
again.
So
I
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
continue
to
remain
involved
now
as
an
alumnus
and
as
a
mentor
and
assistant
with
some
of
the
trainings.
So
again
I
echo
all
the
thank
yous
that
you
shared
madam
chair
and
I'm
really
excited
to
follow
the
work
that
the
youth
legislators
will
be
doing
during
the
session.
A
Thank
you,
mr
anybody
else
and
again
we're
doing
kudos
thatcher.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
consistently
and
you
know
tina
and
bps,
and
everybody
else
who
gets
to
be
seen
on
camera
and
not
seen
on
camera
for
the
phenomenal,
consistent
high
level
contributions
that
you
make
to
the
program
you
know
dur,
I
mean
again
during
a
pandemic,
you
all
of
you,
the
behind
the
scenes
in
front
of
the
camera,
made
it
possible
and
in
such
a
way,
at
a
very,
very
high
level.
A
Again,
I
was
just
dumbfounded
that
we've
had
a
hundred
percent
and
even
yesterday
we
only
had
I
believe
we
had
two
who
missed
the
entire
meeting
with
a
pre.
They
had
asked
for
excused
absences
and
they
were
very
legitimate
reasons.
They
couldn't
be
there
just
an
extraordinary
level
of
engagement
and
I'm
not
talking
about.
They
just
show
up
and
put
put
a
screenshot
up.
They
stay
on
camera,
fully
engaged
and
and
so
think
about
what
they
are
learning
about.
How
to
maximize
the
virtual
experience.
A
I
mean
we
can't
even
know
the
value
of
this
program
in,
in
that
context,
that
they
are
learning
I
mean
I,
we
gave
them
a
how
to
maximize
a
virtual
meeting.
A
They
are
absolutely
optimizing,
the
virtual
experience
in
terms
of
advocacy
and
learning
and
and
curiosity
and
showing
up-
and
so
thank
you
all
to
everybody-
who's
contributed
to
the
excellence
of
this
program
that
has
has
gone
it's
just
sky
high
in
in
a
time
when
to
an
observer.
A
Well,
that's
maybe
that
sounds
a
little
bit
party,
but
the
the
just
seamless
roll
out
of
a
program
that
changes
not
just
the
lives
of
the
youth,
but
the
the
impacts.
The
lies
of
the
entire
state
in
ways
that
that
are
already
have
been
experiencing
through
the
years.
So
is
there
any
any
public
comment
at
this
time.
A
If
that
is
the
standard
practice,
certainly
we
can
do
that
and
then
we
can
come
back
and
you
can
report
as
to
whether
or
not
we
have
public
commenters
or
not
so
we'll
take
a
two-minute
recess
board
and
we'll
come
back
and
determine
whether
anyone
online
would
like
to
make
comment.
