A
D
E
A
Here,
thank
you.
We
do
have
a
quorum
and
because
we've
got
maybe
perhaps
some
folks
that
have
never
been
to
one
of
our
interim
committee
meetings.
I
just
want
to
take
a
minute
we're
going
to
go
into
public
comment
in
just
a
second,
and
just
so
you
know
there's
going
to
be
multiple
opportunities
this
evening.
A
But
then
anybody
in
the
public
that
would
like
to
ask
questions
or
give
comments
I'm
going
to
allow
that
this
evening,
because
we
really
want
to
get
that
information
and
then,
at
the
very
end,
we'll
have
another
public
comment.
The
only
thing
I
ask
is
if,
if
you,
if
somebody's
already
said
exactly
the
same
thing,
you're
going
to
say
just
say,
hey
you
ditto,
and
you
know
I
agree
with
that
or
whatever
that
way.
A
We
can,
if
you've
got
some
specific
things
we'll
have
time
to
do
that,
and
so
anyway,
so
just
want
to
give
you
a
heads
up
and
the
other
thing
that's
important
that
you
understand
we
are
not
going
to
be
voting
on
anything
tonight.
A
This
meeting
is
really
to
get
information
about
this
specific
topic,
which
is
the
governance
of
of
school
districts
via
school
boards,
and
so
that's
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
different
options
that
we
have
this
evening
when
it
comes
to
that,
and
so
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
the
information
it'll
make
it
easier
when,
when,
when
we
get
to
session,
to
be
able
to
have
discussions
about
this
so-
and
I
appreciate
all
those
that
have
offered
to
give
presentations
this
evening-
and
so
you
know
we
want
everybody
that
wants
to
participate
to
participate.
A
I
just
ask
that
try
to
be
as
concise
as
you
can,
so
that
we
can
let
everybody
have
that
opportunity.
So
with
that
a
couple
other
housekeeping
items,
because
some
of
this
might
be
new
for
some
of
you,
as
you
saw
during
roll,
we
have.
We
have
five
of
one
two
three
four
five
of
us
here
that
are
on
the
committee.
A
We
have
two
that
are
online
and
we
have
one
member
and
one
one
of
our
alternates
who
has
been
participating
in
this
that
assemblywoman
nathan
anderson
in
so
we
have
two
more
legislators
in
carson's
city,
and
so,
if
you
have
electronic
devices,
please
put
them
to
silent
so
that
we
don't
interrupt
the
meeting
and
then
the
one
thing
that
I
need
to
make
sure
when
you
speak
this
evening,
you'll
come
forward
when
I
ask
for
it
and
sit
at
one
of
the
seats
here,
same
thing
in
carson
city
or
online
you'll
be
given
access.
A
Make
sure
that
when
you're
speaking
start
out
identifying
yourself
if
you're,
if
you're
just
here
for
yourself
just
say
I'm
john
smith
and
I'm
just
here
on
my
own
or
if
you're
representing
somebody-
and
you
need
to
do
that,
every
time
you
speak.
So
if
you
say
something
and
then
someone
else
makes
a
comment
or
ask
a
question
and
then
you
respond.
A
I
need
you
to
identify
yourself
again.
So
that
way,
the
record.
We
know
who
said
what
on
the
record
and
then
you
have
to
turn
the
microphone
on
and
off
as
you
speak.
So
just
remember
that
you
have
to
push
the
button
for
those
that
are
here
in
carson
city.
You
have
to
push
the
button,
you'll
see
the
light
come
on.
A
Then
you
can
speak
if
we
can't
hear
you
I'll
just
remind
you
and
if
you
somehow,
if
you
forget
to
identify
yourself
I'll,
just
remind
you
to
also
you
have
the
sign
in,
and
I
saw
that
many
of
you
is
timed
in
so
appreciate
that
meeting
materials
received
prior
to
the
meeting
have
been
uploaded
to
the
committee's
web
page.
So
if
you
prefer
that
our
materials
are
available
on
the
legislative
website.
A
In
addition,
we
have
some
copies
here
that
you
can
look
over
and
then
you
can
receive
electronic
notifications
of
our
committee's
agendas,
minutes
and
final
reporting
by
signing
up
on
the
nevada,
legislature's
website,
and
please
note
that
during
the
committee
meeting,
the
the
zoom
chat
feature
for
those
that
are
on
the
zoom
is
only
used
for
technical
assistance
for
from
broadcast
in
production
services.
So
with
that
we're
gonna
head
and
start
with
public
comment,
I
think
I'm
going
to
do
it
in
this
order.
A
You
can
also,
in
addition
to
that,
and
some
of
you
already
done
this-
you
can
provide
testimony
here
in
person.
Some
of
you
can,
you
can
call
in
you,
can
email
comments
and
to
edie
interim
at
lcb.state
dynamic.us
and
that's
that's
available
on
our
materials
as
well
as
online,
and
then
you
can
also
mail
just
regular
mail
just
send
them
into
the
research
division.
A
So
I
do
limit
public
comment
to
three
minutes
for
so
that
we
can
get
to
everybody
and
additional
opportunities,
as
I
mentioned,
to
make
public
comment
is
going
to
be
available
at
the
end.
So
public
comment
at
the
beginning
and
then
you
can.
You
can
actually
comment
on
anything.
A
If,
however,
if
you
start
giving
comment,
that's
a
personal
attack
on
somebody
or
that
kind
of
thing.
I
may
stop
you,
I
just
you
know.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we're.
We
can
move
forward
and
we
that
we're
getting
comments
that
will
help
us
as
a
committee
to
be
able
to
as
we
move
forward
and
understand
what
your
concerns
are
and
that
kind
of
thing.
A
A
So
I'm
going
to
begin
here
in
las
vegas,
and
so
anyone
wishing
to
give
public
comment
here
before
we
start
and
as
I
mentioned,
you're
going
to
have
also
the
ability
during
the
during
the
presentations
to
ask
questions.
But
anyone
that
just
wants
to
give
general
comments
at
this
point.
If
you
would
come
forward
and
there's
two
seats
there.
So
if
you'll
just
fill
those
up
and
then
when
they
finish
just
fill
in
right
as
soon
as
they.
A
G
Good
evening
my
name
is
vicki
kreidel,
I'm
a
veteran
ccsd
teacher
of
10
years
and
president
of
nea
of
southern
nevada.
This
is
an
extremely
important
topic
for
a
host
of
reasons,
but
mostly
because
it's
misguided
and
won't
actually
solve
the
most
important
issues
facing
public
education
in
clark,
county
or
nevada.
G
Since
I've
been
attending
board
meetings
for
a
number
of
years,
there
were
always
some
disagreements
amongst
them,
as
there
was,
is
with
any
governing
body.
Even
this
one
like
you,
all,
trustees
are
regular
nevadans
and
there
will
always
be
personality
differences
as
well
as
polit
policy
differences.
It
is
inevitable,
however,
that
those
disagreements,
whether
personal
or
policy,
are
simply
not
enough
to
do
away
with
the
elected
trustee
system.
G
I'd
like
this
committee
to
note
when
we
all
began
hearing
about
this
issue,
sure
there's
been
a
couple
of
minority
party
bills
over
the
years,
but
nothing
that
got
a
hearing
or
had
any
traction
all
of
a
sudden
in
2021.
This
became
a
bigger
issue
and
you
have
to
ask
why
then
ask
who
is
advocating
for
this.
The
strongest
prior
to
2021
we've
had
trustees
with
issues
and
indiscretions.
G
G
G
They've
never
spoke
out
against
the
rampant
online
bullying
of
teachers
from
anti-public
education
trustees.
Cca
is
not
trying
to
get
appointed
boards
in
an
effort
to
remove
those
types
of
voices
and
that's
notable.
Instead,
they
spend
time
attacking
trustees,
cavazos,
guzman
and
ford,
who
are
consistently
in
the
minority
for
policies
and
decisions
that
would
legitimately
help
educators
in
ccsd
they've
never
been
silent
about
their
dislike
for
those
three
women
and
that's
why
we're
here
today,
this
push
for
an
appointed
board
is
based
on
two
things:
hatred
for
particular
trustees
and
a
need
to
control.
G
It's
all
about
political
manipulation.
This
hearing
today,
aids
them
in
that
manipulation.
This
standalone
idea
failed
during
the
last
legislative
session,
but
was
then
buried
in
larger
unrelated
bill.
During
another
secretive
process
that
shut
out
stakeholders
in
the
final
hours
of
the
session,
true
remedies
for
the
dysfunction
lie
far
outside
of
appointing
members.
For
example,
we
could
allow
teachers
to
serve
on
the
board
as
we're
the
only
ones
who
are
excluded,
that
expertise
is
missing
and
that
change
could
benefit
the
district.
Far
more
than
a
political
appointment.
G
G
Appointed
boards
also
have
the
consequence
of
making
the
community
feel
as
if
they
have
no
voice
within
their
own
school
district.
As
a
veteran
educator,
please
do
not
support
or
recommend
a
transition
away
from
elected
school
board
to
appointed
school
boards
from
equity
issues
to
our
teacher
shortage.
We
have
far
more
important
matters
to
be
working
on
than
this.
Most
importantly,
appointed
school
boards
will
not
improve
student
outcomes.
Thank
you.
E
Good
evening
sharon
dennis
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
kenny
belnap,
I'm
a
high
school
social
studies,
teacher
in
the
clark
county
school
district,
and
I
serve
as
the
ccea
treasurer
I'm
here
today
to
speak
about
our
school
boards
here
in
nevada
and
why
it's
long
overdue?
That
changes
are
made
to
the
makeup
of
these
boards.
You
don't
have
to
look
very
long
or
very
hard
to
see
that
the
school
board
in
the
clark
county
is
a
dysfunctional
mess
and
lacks
any
resemblance
of
a
functional
board.
E
If
you've
been
unlucky
enough
to
sit
through
one
of
their
meetings
in
the
last
year,
you
would
have
witnessed
the
turmoil.
There's
no
structure
to
these
meetings
board
members
regularly
attack
each
other,
while
on
the
dais.
They
rarely
ask
questions
of
value
and
spend
almost
no
time
reviewing
student
data
setting
goals
and
tracking
the
progress
of
their
goals.
E
A
school
board
is
supposed
to
be
the
public
oversight
of
taxpayer
dollars
being
spent
to
educate
our
children
and
when
you
have
dysfunction
like
we
do,
there
is
no
oversight
and
the
didn't
and
the
district
leadership
is
left
to
do.
As
they
please
and
answer
to
no
one
over
the
last
several
legislative
sessions
cc
has
worked
with
many
of
ui
to
increase
the
state's
investment
in
education
work
that
has
resulted
in
a
significant
investment
by
this
body
like
an
additional
500
million
dollars.
E
You
added
to
the
people-centered
funding
formula
last
session,
as
well
as
the
historic
tax
increase
on
mining
that
goes
to
education,
starting
this
next
calendar
year.
All
of
us
here
know
that,
even
with
the
funding
that's
been
added,
it
isn't
enough
to
put
nevada's
children
on
equal
footing
with
the
rest
of
the
nation.
The
commission
on
school
funding
has
reported
that
it
will
take
an
additional
200
million
dollars
in
new
funding
every
year
for
the
next
10
years
to
bring
us
up
to
the
national
average.
E
This
work
is
already
challenging
enough
to
find
revenue
sources
to
fund
our
schools,
but
it's
made
even
more
challenging
with
the
circus
that
ccsd
puts
on
every
two
weeks,
undermining
the
trust
the
public
has
in
them
to
spend
those
dollars
appropriately.
It's
long
overdue
that
we
change
the
makeup
of
the
sport
to
mirror
an
education
board
that
is
highly
affected
in
their
oversight
and
spending
of
taxpayer
dollars.
The
nevada
state
board
of
education.
E
That
board
is
made
up
of
both
appointed
and
elected
officials
and
do
great
work
to
ensure
that
that
money,
the
money
that
they're
trusted
with
by
the
public,
is
spent
in
a
responsible
and
effective
manner.
The
way
that
the
ccsd
board
of
trustees
have
conducted
themselves
has
eroded
the
trust
of
the
public
and
the
educators
that
work
for
the
district
to
dangerously
low
levels.
E
Their
conduct
does
not
reflect
the
value
of
the
public
and
the
balance
and
balance
that
a
hybrid
board
would
have
in
bringing
both
expertise
and
trust
to
the
to
execute
the
primary
responsibility
of
the
board,
making
sure
our
kids
are
educated.
This
is
why
I
believe
we
must
have
appointed
positions
added
to
our
local
school
boards,
because,
if
our
electives
won't
be
the
adults
in
the
room,
we
need
to
put
someone
in
the
room
to
ensure
that
our
students
get
the
best
possible
education
with
the
funding
that
this
body
provides
them.
A
Thank
you.
I
just
need
to
make
one
comment.
I
want
everybody
to
be
able
to
make
their
comments,
but
we
don't
allow
comments
from
the
from
those
sitting
out
there,
so
no
no
cheering
no
jeering,
and
all
of
that
you
need
to
be
respectful
of
everybody.
That's
speaking,
so,
if
you
would
please
follow
that,
thank
you.
Go
ahead.
H
Hi,
my
name
is
stephanie
kinsley,
I'm
one
of
the
mothers
from
my
children's
advocate.
I
agree
with
the
woman
who
spoke
before
me.
Actually,
we
we
do
see
eye
to
eye
on
something
I
couldn't
fathom,
why
you
guys
would
even
suggest
appointing
people
to
the
school
board
when
really
the
school
district
should
be
broken
up
as
a
whole.
H
That
should
be
more
of
a
focus
after
I
mean
we're
two
years
into
the
most
blatantly
stolen
election
we've
ever
had
and
now
you're
trying
to
just
take
away
our
right
to
vote,
because
we
don't
like
who
you
provide
to
vote
for
that
when
we
do
vote
for
people
and
it
doesn't
work
out
the
way
we
think
we're
unhappy
with
our
school
board
members.
I
went
to
school
in
my
entire
career
through
ccsd
k
through
a
bit
of
college.
H
So
these
same
people,
when
the
parents
are
upset
that
you're
forcing
mass
unhealthy
mass
on
our
children,
unhealthy,
experimental
vaccines
in
children.
You
guys
want
to
put
abortion
clinics
into
our
schools.
Our
teachers
unions
spend
five
times
more
on
supporting
democratic
polit
groups
such
as
planned
parenthood
than
they
do
on
their
teachers,
retirement
funds.
So
it's
more
important
that
margaret
sanger's
hopes
and
dreams
of
a
genocide
get
played
out.
Then
teachers
having
a
retirement
fund
ccsd
is
obviously
too
big
for
you
people
to
handle
you.
I
don't.
H
I
need
somebody
to
explain,
because
I've
only
worked
in
the
private
sector.
I've
always
had
to
have
my
jobs
based
off
meritocracy,
so
just
being
paid
more
than
the
last
guy
to
fail
worse
than
the
last
guy,
like
our
current
superintendent.
H
H
Let's
give
you
guys
that
and
you're
still
failing
failing,
and
I'm
just
so
impressed
that
now
you
just
want
to
take
away
parents
rights
even
vote
as
a
whole,
and
I
do
see
the
common
denominator
with
stolen
elections
being
democrats,
and
I
need
to
ask
why
why
do
democrats
want
to
fund
planned
parenthood
and
fund
the
black
genocide?
Why
does
do
democrats
want
to
give
my
tax
dollars
to
ukraine?
Why
do
democrats
want
to
tax
this
more
during
inflation?
Like
I,
don't
understand
you,
people
and
I
just
need
some
help.
A
Can
you
can
you
just
spell
your
name
because
we
missed
it
at
the
beginning.
A
C
My
name
is
lorena
cardenas,
with
my
children's
advocate
and
as
a
mother
who
advocates
for
the
best
interest
of
her
children.
I
am
here
to
voice
my
discontent
with
yet
another
attempt.
Another
great
power
grab
from
the
democrat
party.
This
issue
is
not
nonpartisan,
as
it
has
always
been
democrats
who
seek
to
remove
the
voice
of
parents
who
disagree
with
their
decisions.
I
have
experienced
it
firsthand,
as
the
ccsd
school
board
has
always
censored,
cut
mics
and
have
had
parents
removed
for
conservative
content.
C
C
Can
you
sense
your
impending
doom
at
the
ballot
box
in
november?
Also?
How
are
we
supposed
to
believe
that
this
decision
will
be
neutral
and
nonpartisan
when
the
presentation
includes
representatives
of
ccea,
the
largest
teachers
union
in
nevada,
who,
just
recently
in
this
election
cycle
alone,
endorsed
27
candidates
and
25
of
those
27
were
democrats
when
the
legislation
attempts
to
remove
the
voice
of
we,
the
people,
the
only
change
that
needs
to
occur
is
in
the
legislation
itself
get
out
and
vote
in
november.
C
I
I
was
a
former
candidate
for
school
board
trustee
I
am
my
race
was
nonpartisan
and
I
really
like
that
because
I'm
really
I
was
raised
in
the
south.
So
I'm
really
neither
democrat.
Neither
am
I
republican,
I'm
really
a
confederate,
I'm
a
bible,
believer
in
jesus
christ
and
before
my
election
was
over,
I
did
try
to
be
as
bipartisan
as
I
could
be.
I
I
did
masters
studying
and
I
went
to
trade
school,
so
I'm
a
big
proponent
of
education
and-
and
I
recognize
also
some
latin
chamber
of
commerce
members
behind
me
and
really,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
know
me
here,
but
here
I
would
like
to.
I
I
would
like
the
this
interim
committee
to
think
about
james
otis
and
patrick
henry
and
other
founding
fathers
as
they
popularized
the
phrase.
Taxation
without
representation
is
tyranny,
and
so
our
country
was
founded
upon
this
principle
that
as
long
as
you're
taking
my
money,
we
want
transparency
with
that
money
and
we
want
proper
representation
of
the
people.
I
I
I
do
believe
with
all
my
heart
that
this
is
more
like
a
communist
becoming
like
a
communist
country
when
we
take
away
the
people's
right
to
vote
and
even
and
even
as
the
one
the
first
lady
who
came
up
here,
spokes
mentioned
this
as
a
she
wanted
more
democracy.
I
I
Talks
about
posting
an
open
meeting
three
days,
three
prominent
places
and
I
believe,
as
many
students
as
we
have
three
hundred
thousand
students,
how
many
parents
and
how
many
parents
are
not
coming
to
these
meetings.
I
mean
I
dare
to
ask
in
carson
city,
I
mean
how
does
the
room
look
there?
Is
it
full
or
is
it
not
full,
but
I
can
tell
you
at
our
board
meetings
at
the
board
of
education
meetings.
Those
rooms
are
almost
empty,
sometimes
sometimes
so.
There's
a
major
lack
of
attendance,
and
also
we
want
more
financial
transparency.
I
I
realize
that
legislators.
State
legislators
is
asking
ccsd
is
asking
for
200
mil
per
year
for
the
next
10
years,
but
there's
very
little
transparency.
That
ccsd
is
showing
the
legislators,
and
so
these,
so
you
guys
should
know
about
that,
but
actually
a
better
move.
Instead
of
trying
to
appoint
people,
we
should
actually
try
to
break
up
ccsd.
I
I
A
G
H
Camila
bywaters,
president
of
the
las
vegas
alliance
of
black
school
educators,
and
I'm
also
the
co-chair
for
education
for
the
national
action
network,
las
vegas
chapter,
and
I
thank
you
so
much
for
having
this
conversation
with
the
community.
It
is
well
needed.
We've
been
waiting
for
a
conversation
like
this,
so
that
we
can
come
before
our
leaders
so
that
we
can
make
a
very
important
or
make
very
important
decisions
about
education.
H
H
We
do
not
blame
our
current
leaders,
our
current
trustees
or
our
current
current
superintendent
for
the
low
state
of
achievement
that
our
students
are
in,
but
we
do
recognize
that
we
do
need
leaders
in
place
who
have
the
ability,
the
capability
and
the
skills,
the
willingness
and
the
compassion
to
move
our
educational
system
forward.
We
need
your
help
and
this
conversation
is
needed.
H
I
do
ask
as
a
leader
of
the
community
and
as
an
individual
in
the
organization
that
has
numerous
conversations
with
parents
with
teachers,
that
we
continue
to
have
a
well-rounded
conversation
and
think
about
the
pros
and
the
cons,
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
for
the
decision
that
we're
going
to
make
regarding
how
we're
going
to
handle
selecting
our
trustees
and
superintendents
at
this
time.
We
know
that
we
have
consistently
been.
H
Our
educational
system
has
consistently
been
at
the
bottom,
and
it
seems
as
though,
as
though
our
educational
system
has
been
a
cash
cow
and
the
funding.
We
have
not
had
transparency
around
how
funding
is
being
used
to
increase
student
achievement
and,
as
achievement
is
horrible
for
all
of
our
students.
You
can
guarantee
that
it's
even
more
severe
for
black
students
and
for
hispanic
students
and
for
students
who
are
poor.
We
really
need
a
change,
and
one
thing
that
is
apparent.
H
We
know
that
school
boards
are
being
used
to
really
disrupt
and
dismantle
democracy.
We
need
you
to
step
in.
We
need
you
to
really
consider
what
the
community,
what
students
and
what
parents
are
saying
on
how
you
can
help
to
support
us
and
save
our
state,
save
our
education
so
that
we
can
save
our
students
and
ensure
that
they
have
the
best
possible
life
forward
right
now,
with
what
we
have.
H
K
Hi,
I'm
william,
graham
carter,
I'm
sort
of
a
third
generation
nevadan.
My
mother
was
born
in
21
in
tonopah,
where
her
father
was
principal
of
the
tonopah
school
of
mines.
He
was
a
1910
graduate
of
the
mackey
school
of
mines
and
also
the
on
the
americas.
Rugby
team.
They
they
represented
american,
went
to
new
zealand
in
australia
and
got
their
butts
kicked
by
people
who
knew
what
they
were
doing.
I
love
to
kind
of
break
kneecaps
people
say:
oh,
I
got
here
in
86,
I
said:
well,
we
got
here
in
67
possible.
K
The
second
time
I
got
here
when
I
was
four
years
old.
My
dad
was
part
of
the
crew
that
we
opened
nellis.
I
got
to
see
the
first
flight
of
the
thunderbirds.
I
saw
spike
jones
for
my
seventh
birthday
and
I've.
K
I'm
just
made
to
have
watched
clark,
county
school
district
be
so
horrible.
My
entire
life
you
used
to
have
your
logo
on
the
side
of
your
vehicles
was
a
an
a
plus
and
I
go
false
advertising
sue
them.
It's
never
been
good
back.
Then
it
was
cheaper
to
to
pay
off
the
commissioner
than
than
for
the
casinos
to
pay
taxes
and
after
my
mom
died,
my
dad
and
I
sat
in
the
living
room
and
got
to
know
each
other
and
on
the
news
it
came.
K
K
As
you,
I'm
sure
know,
the
marijuana
laws
were
passed
by
the
promise
that
this
is
going
to
go
to
education
and,
of
course
it
went
into
the
general
fund.
The
first
time
for
the
first
year
there
was
800
million
dollars
of
the
schools
didn't
get.
Schools
have
always
been
the
last
thought.
On
the
on
the
minds
of
the
legislators.
We've
always
had
the
worst
school
district
in
the
world.
I
don't
remember
being
an
ellis.
I
was
in
kindergarten.
I
remember
doing
the
the
exercises
like
this.
I
didn't
touch
the
paper.
K
I
think
I
was
a
lefty
and
they
were
turning
me
into
her
writing.
Anyway.
I
do
have
a
friend
who
is
a
english
teacher
who
tries
to
teach
english
our
take.
Is
that
the
clark
county
school
district
and
also
in
california
so
people
by
political,
politically
correct
people
that
she
can't
teach
she
tries
to
teach
english
and
they're
talking
about
pronouns
and
that
kind
of
stuff?
And
I
think
that
I
agree
with
the
last
lady
who
said
who's
who's
being
taught
it's.
The
kids
are,
who
are
being
taught.
K
They
belong
to
the
parents,
you're
wanting
to
take
away
another
vote,
another
level
of
our
ability
to
choose
this.
Is
you
know
again?
I
don't
know
the
ladies
and
democrats
want
that.
I
don't
know
if
you're
democrats
or
not,
but
there's
this
law
in
the
history
of
america,
there's
been
an
argument
of
federalism
versus
local
representation
states,
rights
versus
a
big,
powerful
federal
government,
and
I
favor
the
parents
having
having
a
choice
because
there's
no
place
in
the
world
worse
than
las
vegas.
K
For
it's
who
you
know,
and
you
may
have
all
these.
You
know
they've
got
to
qualify
this
way
in
that
way
and
then
somebody's
going
to
go.
My
buddy
joe
needs
a
job
and
cronyism
exists
more
in
nevada
than
anywhere
else
in
the
world,
and
I
just
really
think
that
the
parents
should
be
the
guides
of
their
children's
education.
A
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
clarify
one
thing,
because
every
time
I
hear
this,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
understand
on
the
marijuana
money.
It
was
closer
to
300
million
and
it
actually
was
put
back.
It
was
put
into
the
education
system.
So
when
people
say
that
it
didn't
go
to
education,
that's
not
correct.
A
It
was
actually.
It
was
just
delayed
by
two
years
because
it
wasn't
approved
by
the
legislature
when
it
when
it
originally
passed.
I
don't
I'm
sorry.
I
don't
want
to
hear
any
comments
from
the
audience.
I
just
are
you
saying
I'm
mistaken
yeah
you're
mistaken
on
the
on
only
on
the
the
fact
that
the
money
did
go
to
education
is.
K
K
Let
the
let
let
the
principal
run
the
school.
Let
her
do
the
hiring.
We
don't
need
this
big.
I
I'm
a
problem.
Solver
I've.
I
had
a
friend
who
timed
out
in
california
came
over
here
and
was
having
trouble.
I
contacted
mr
jarrar's
office.
I
came
away
going
they're
aligned
against
the
teachers
and
they're
aligned
against
the
students
right
so
they're
just.
A
C
You
so
much
my
name
is
danielle
ford.
I
attended
ccsd
starting
in
kindergarten.
I
am
a
parent
of
ccsc
students,
I'm
currently
an
elected
ccsd
trustee,
and
I
will
share
some
reflections
from
that
role.
But
I
am
here
speaking
as
an
individual
concerned
citizen
and
my
comments
do
not
reflect
the
entire
board.
I
care
deeply
about
ccsd
about
nevada,
about
the
students
in
it.
I
have
now
17
nieces
and
nephews,
who
are
either
in
or
going
into
ccsd,
and
for
my
experiences
with
the
district,
I
will
say
from
being
a
student
to
being
a
trustee.
C
C
C
The
second
thing
to
consider
to
solve
these
problems
is
whether
or
not
the
intent
is
to
give
is
really
to
give
the
public
at
large,
more
control
over
how
schools
operate,
and
if
that
is
the
intent
that
everybody
wants,
then
perhaps
we
should
consider
first
changing
the
law
so
that
the
superintendent
becomes
publicly
elected
at
large.
C
The
bottom
line
is
that
there
is
absolutely
no
data,
no
data.
I've
looked
for
it
that
shows
that
either
a
fully
appointed
or
a
hybrid
school
board
is
more
functional
than
an
elected
one.
There
are
better
solutions
to
consider
before
deciding
to
change
from
elected
to
appointed
school
boards
and
deciding
to
take
away
the
people's
power.
Thank
you.
A
Trustee
ford,
thank
you
for
taking
time
to
be
here
with
us
today.
I
appreciate
those
suggestions
and
actually
I
will
mention
as
we
as
we
move
through
the
meeting
today
we're
going
to
hear
about
different
things.
Now
a
lot
of
people
have
been
talking
about
appointed
school
boards,
but
there's
other
things
that
we've
been
talking
about.
So
we
are
going
to
talk
about
those
this
evening
and
then
there's
going
to
be
an
opportunity
for
any
additional
suggestions
for
folks
to
be
able
to
give
some
comment:
go
ahead
whenever
you're
ready.
G
G
I
think
we're
gonna
find
out
if
we
get
a
good
judge
on
friday
that
the
election
was
wrought
with
fraud.
I
was
at
the
commissioners
meeting
and
at
least
a
hundred
people
spoke
about
the
anomalies
in
the
election
and
right
afterwards.
Well,
they
I
think
they
voted
the
day
before,
but
they
voted
again
and
laughed
at
us.
G
So
if
we
don't
have
power
there,
when
it's
not
about
the
children
directly
in
the
schools,
what
makes
you
think
we're
going
to
have
power
in
front
of
an
appointed
school
board?
That's
already
ignored
the
will
of
the
parents
that
have
come
to
the
school
board
meetings
and
really
poured
their
hearts
out
about
special
needs.
Children
that
couldn't
wear,
masks
or
shouldn't
wear
masks.
G
G
G
You
know
they.
There
would
be
nobody
here
wanting
to
do
anything
against
dogs
or
puppies,
but
yet
we
do
this
to
children
they're
the
most
important
asset.
We
have
they're
precious
they're
innocent.
No
one
needs
to
be
telling
them
about
crt
to
hate
each
other.
No
one
needs
to
be
telling
them
about
lgbt
elemental
pq
whatever
in
the
classroom.
That's
disgusting:
that's
influencing
a
child's
imagination,
that's
influencing
their
their
behaviors
and
it's
confusing
them.
It
sickens
me
and
the
madness
don't
be
a
part
of
it.
G
I
I
ran
for
school
board
because
I
felt
that
the
trustee
who
governs
or
is
over
our
district
theme
had
not
even
visited
one
of
the
76
schools
in
the
in
all
her
time
that
she
had
been
on,
and
I
at
the
last
minute
I
put
my
name
into
the
into
the
ring,
and
I
respect
the
fact
that
the
public
did
not
vote
for
me.
I
However,
had
I
had
somebody
been
appointed
to
the
position,
I
would
have
lost
anyway,
because
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
one
of
my
opponents
is
related
to
an
individual
who's.
An
elected
official
one
of
my
opponents
would
have
been
named
instead
of
having
being
elected
and
by
the
way
that
individual
did
not
lose
did
not
win.
I
I
I
I
She
was
instrumental
in
having
the
present
superintendent
named
to
that
position,
and
she
knows
that
I
am
not
I'm
not
in
agreement
with
that
superintendent,
because
we
are
still
number
49
in
nationwide
as
far
as
education
that
individual
has
been
here
three
years.
I
Yet
at
this
point,
I
I
see
where
maybe
this
body
may
be
considering
the
possibility
of
appointing
a
public
official,
and
that
is
wrong,
and
the
reason
to
is
that
you
have
all
these
multi-millionaires
fighting
for
vouchers,
fighting
for
charter
schools
fighting
for
the
two
billion
dollar
budget
that
is
out
there
that
most
of
us
don't
know
know
nothing
about.
This
has
been
brought
up.
Our
students
are.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
we're
going
to
take
this
last
one
here!
No
come
well
go
ahead
and
come
up.
We're
gonna
take
these
last
two
and
then
I'm
gonna
go
to
carson
just
to
give
them
a
chance
to
be
able,
because
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
people
in
carson
city
that
wish
to
speak.
L
Hey
hi,
my
name
is
jamie
tatrinsky,
I'm
speaking
as
an
individual.
I
am
a
public
school
teacher
in
clark.
County
nevada
yesterday
started
my
eighth
year
in
the
district
in
my
11th
year
as
an
educator
overall.
L
So
let's
talk
about
money
for
a
little
bit.
I
don't
have
any
because
I'm
a
public
school
teacher
and
I
have
teachers,
health
trust.
So
there's
you
know,
there's
no
money
here,
there's
no
money
for
me
to
wing
it
opponents.
So
I
get
to
I
get
to
know
elected
officials.
I
get
to
know
their
stances.
L
I
get
to
know
what
they
believe.
I
get
to
know
how
they'll
vote
on
issues
that
really
matter
to
me
and
we
throw
around
the
number
49
a
lot
as
well.
I'm
aware
that
we're
49th
in
the
nation,
everyone
here
is
49th
in
the
nation
and
I
think
it's
really
easy
to
get
bogged
down
in
the
ugliness
of
that
number
and
to
ignore
the
good
that
is
still
there.
I
have
some
of
the
most
amazing
students
that
come
through
my
classroom.
L
Every
single
day
I've
invited
public
officials
several
times
only
a
few
have
shown
up,
but
my
kids
do
amazing
things
with
very
limited
resources,
and
I
saw
that
so
that's
why.
Two
years
ago
I
ran
for
my
school's
sot
and
I
was
elected
and
I
was
re-elected
so
I'm
now
finishing
out
my
second
term
as
sot
and
I'm
likely
going
to
run
for
a
third
term.
We've
had
a
lot
of
turnover
at
my
school
there's
40
new
teachers
on
campus.
L
I
hope
we
get
new
blood
on
the
sot,
but
I
also
think
it's
really
important
to
have
someone
who's
been
there
and
who's
seen
it.
But
as
a
member
of
the
sot
we
get
to
see
the
budget,
we
actually
approve
the
budget,
so
in
the
budget
at
canyon
springs.
Where
I
work,
we
approved
a
lot
for
safety
measures.
We
approved
money
for
better
cameras
for
safety.
L
On
our
campus,
we
approved
money
for
fences
to
protect
our
campus
report,
a
lot
of
money
into
that,
and
then
the
district
came
back
and
said:
hey
safety
is
a
crisis
issue,
we're
actually
going
to
cover
a
lot
of
that.
So
here's
your
money
back
so
now
we're
sitting
on
money
and
we're
trying
to
think
well.
What
do
we
do
with
this?
L
L
We
also
have
to
look
at
the
people
who
come
with
ulterior
motives
and
that's
certainly
very
prevalent
in
education
from
the
things
that
come
out
of
people's
mouths
to
the
clothing
they
decide
to
wear
in
mass.
We
see
that
all
the
time,
not
everyone
who
says
they're
for
kids
are
for
kids
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
careful
about
that
and
if
I
want
to
touch
on
the
school
board,
I'm
not
in
favor
of
an
appointed
board
right.
L
We
elect
the
people
that
we
think
should
represent
us
and
if
they
don't
represent
us,
we
vote
them
out.
It's
one
of
the
fundamental
things
I
teach
students
in
my
classroom.
In
my
clubs,
I've
had
kids
come
in
and
say:
hey,
I'm
the
president
of
key
club
this
year.
I
said
no
you're,
not
we're
going
to
have
an
election,
and
you
know
what
that
kid
didn't
win,
because
his
classmates
did
not
vote
him
to
be
the
president,
because
he
walked
and
said
I'm
in
this
position.
L
I
said
not,
unless
your
classmates
say
so
and
that's
a
lesson
that
he
had
to
learn
early
on
and
that's
a
lesson
I
hope
he
takes
on
throughout
the
rest
of
his
life.
When
we
say
we're
going
to
appoint
boards
you're
appointing
points
of
view
you're
appointing
a
voice,
that's
going
to
say
what
you
want
them
to
say.
Not
what
the
people
want
them
to
say,
there's
a
real
danger
in
that
I'm
not
happy
with
all
of
our
trustees.
L
You
know
I
can,
I
can
just
leave
it
there.
I'm
not
happy
with
all
of
our
trustees,
but
an
elected.
An
elected
board
is
way
to
go.
Appointment
is
not
where
it's
at.
Thank
you.
M
M
In
regard
to
the
agenda
topic
tonight
and
at
the
previous
meetings,
my
first
query
would
be:
what
is
our
goal
here?
What
is
our
intention?
Speaking
from
my
individual
perspective,
the
end
result
of
a
complex
conversation
about
possibly
changing
the
composition
of
our
school
boards
needs
to
have
a
definitive
and
collaborative
end
goal
of
improving
the
educational
opportunities
afforded
to
our
students
with
anything
that
less,
then
we
are
again
just
looking,
possibly
at
private
interests,
personal
agendas
and
political
gains.
Gainsmanship.
M
To
be
perfectly
candid,
addressing
the
question
at
hand,
we
must
absolutely
look
at
the
value
of
having
a
democratically
elected
school
board.
Let
me
pause
for
just
a
moment
to
repeat
that
phrase:
a
democratically
elected
school
board
of
trustees
who
are
elected
with
the
expectation
that
they
will
not
only
represent
the
interests
and
concerns
of
the
voters
who
elected
them,
but
who
will
be
strong
advocates
for
advocates
for
all
their
constituents?
M
Students,
families,
educators
and
the
diverse
communities
that
make
up
the
entire
district
without
elected
official
status
comes
specific
job
responsibilities
in
this
position,
setting
the
vision,
direction
and
goals
of
the
district
and
monitoring
those
goals
regularly.
Staying
informed
on
policy
governance
and
board
protocols,
hiring
and
evaluating
the
superintendent,
with
informed
oversight
regarding
operations
adhering
to
fiduciary
duties
in
regard
to
approving
an
annual
budget
and
other
fiscal
concerns,
and,
lastly,
the
truly
most
difficult
category
doing
all
of
the
aforementioned,
with
transparency
and
accountability.
M
I
do
not
believe
that
shifting
to
an
appointed
school
board
will
miraculously
be
a
panacea
for
the
problems
that
are
currently
on
display.
I
think
that
a
better
option
is
more
stringent
and
structurally
logical
requirements
for
school
board.
Trustees
such
as
the
background
check
as
all
our
employees
are
required
to
do.
Pre
and
post
election
training
completion
requirements,
including
foundational
reviews
in
budgets,
open
meeting
law,
collective
bargaining,
governance
policy
and
structure,
curriculum
and
personnel
basics,
and
something
that
is
of
paramount
importance
to
me
ethics
with
specific
consequences.
M
If
the
last
category
is
violated
in
closing
I'd
like
to
say
our
present
school
culture,
both
locally
and
nationally,
is
in
disarray.
Turning
over
the
composition
of
the
school
board
and
removing
the
diverse
voices
of
the
people
will
not
solve
the
situation.
I
believe
that
it
will
exacerbate
it
currently
on
school
boards.
In
many
districts,
including
our
own,
the
trustees
own
voices
are
being
gradually
eliminated.
Let's
not
do
that
to
the
voters
in
our
communities.
They
deserve
viable
solutions,
not
exclusion.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
Trustee
cossos,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you.
Okay,
let's
go
to
let's
go
to
carson
city,
and
I
can't
see
the
audience
here,
but
if
you'll
come
up,
I
think
there
might
be
three
microphones
there
in
carson
city.
A
G
G
My
first
question
is:
what
does
the
law
say?
Is
there
a
law
that
has
to
be
changed
or
passed,
and
I
also
would
say
I
watched
our
current
one
of
our
current
appointees
to
our
school
board.
Adam
mayberry
do
an
interview
with
the
washoe
dems
and
the
south
washoe
dems,
and
during
that
interview
he
stated
out
loud
that
he
felt
that
these
should
be
appointed
positions.
G
I
should
have
had
my
radar
go
up
right
at
that
instant
when
he
said
that,
because
he's
been
a
public
servant,
his
entire
career-
and
I
didn't
I
didn't
hone
in
on
that
at
the
moment,
but
that
should
have
spoken
volumes
to
me
at
the
time.
G
This
takes
parents
more
out
of
the
loop,
in
my
opinion,
than
they
are
currently
and
they're
very
much
out
of
the
loop
right
now.
You
can't
just
walk
into
your
kid's
school
without
going
through
a
background
check
through
a
whole
hoop
law
of
things.
You
can't
just
walk
into
their
classroom
and
talk
to
a
teacher
like
you
could
in
my
day.
G
It
is
my
understanding
that
this
was
legislated
sometime
in
the
past
during
the
tenure
of
senator
maurice
washington,
but
was
never
carried
out
for
what
reason,
I'm
not
sure
the
beast
is
out
of
control.
In
my
opinion,
I've
watched
a
lot
go
on
in
our
school
district
and
giving
the
government
more
control
is
not
the
answer.
In
my
opinion,
either
smaller
districts
are
the
answer.
Break
them
up,
give
control
back
to
the
communities
they
serve
and
the
parents
they
serve.
G
It's
the
only
way
to
go.
I
heard
one
gentleman
speaking
and
he
said
there
are
76
schools
and
that
cert
won
one
district
in
las
vegas.
That's
that's
obscene!
That's
insane!
I
can't
even
imagine
that
it's
almost
as
bad
in
washoe
we
we
don't
have
as
out
of
control
situation
there.
We
don't
have
the
carryings
on,
I
don't
believe
in
our
school
district,
but
it's
still
bad.
G
We
have
a
billion
dollar
budget
at
our
school
district,
and
that
is
just
mind-blowing
that
we've
got
seven
people
controlling
a
billion
dollar
budget,
it's
bigger
than
our
county
budget.
I
just
think
it's
it's
out
of
control
and
this
is
a
bad
idea,
a
really
bad
idea.
A
C
Ahead,
this
is
casey
rogers.
I
have
a
lot
to
say
actually,
because
we
all
know
what
communism
looks
like
we've
learned
it
from
history.
We
know
how
many
millions
and
millions
of
people
have
been
killed
because
of
it,
and
yet
you
guys
keep
trying
to
implement
it
more
and
more
and
more
bringing
bills
ahead
of
things.
None
of
you
are
listening
to
any
of
the
public
comment.
You're.
Looking
at
me
now
for
like
the
first
time,
do
you
remember
the
first
10
people
that
spoke?
C
I
doubt
you
could
repeat
anything
that
they
said
just
like
jennifer
right
here
sitting
there
looking
at
her
paperwork,
trying
to
act
like
she's
multitasking.
Are
you
paid
employees
doing
anything
that
you
should
be
doing?
If
I
was
the
lawyer
over
here,
I'd
be
telling
you
what
your
job
was.
Your
job
is
that
you
work
for
us.
Do
you
not
know
that?
Okay
dennis.
K
C
C
A
So
the
record
is
not
clear.
All
I
can
see.
Is
you
and
I'm
hearing
somebody
else
so
I
need.
I
need
one
person
at
a
time
to
talk
and
right
now
you
have
the
thing
and
your
your
your
time
is
running
out.
So
if
you
would
please
finish
up-
and
please
do
not
do
any
personal
attacks
on
anyone,
give
your
comment
and
we'll
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Shirts.
C
A
A
We
got
to
have
some
kind
of
order
here,
we'll
never
actually
there's
a
lot
of
opinions
that
are
here
and
we
want
to
hear
those
opinions
so
but
hurt
okay,
I'm
gonna
ask
those
that
are
in
the
room
here
to
be.
I
did
not
interrupt
her.
Somebody
else
interrupted
and
I'm
trying
to
find
out
what
that
is
now,
if
you're,
not
if
you're
going
to
yell
out
in
this
audience,
I
will
go
ahead
and
stop
this
meeting.
I'm
doing
this
out
of
the
opportunity.
A
A
Have
a
thing
called
the
constitution.
Thank
thank
you.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here
is
give
people
an
opportunity
to
talk.
We
cannot
do
that
if
we
have
people
just
going
on
and
on.
I
tried
to
give
her
an
opportunity
to
finish,
but
she
decided
she
wanted
to
go
on
about
something
else.
Her
three
minutes
was
up
so
we're
gonna
move
to
the
next
person.
If
you
want
to
speak
at
the
end,
you'll
have
another
opportunity
at
the
end
to
get
public
comment.
A
B
I've
lived
in
carson
for
seven
years
now.
I
would
have
liked
to
have
a
speech
prepared.
However,
I
spent
the
last
night
reading
through
the
51
pages
of
the
may
3rd
meeting.
B
I
don't
think
that
bringing
in
an
unelected
appointed
person
is
going
to
give
you
accountability.
What
that
will
give?
You
is
more
political,
it
I
mean
the
position's
supposed
to
be
nonpartisan
and
unbiased,
but
if
you
have
a
democrat
or
republican
that
puts
that
person
into
their
position,
then
they're
going
to
spend
their
time
trying
to
appease
that
person
in
their
agenda.
They
won't
spend
the
time
worrying
about
the
kids
or
worrying
about
the
parents.
B
The
school
board
should
be
accountable
to
the
parents
and
the
teachers
there's
not
a
lot
of
that
that
has
went
on
and
and
like
I've
been
to
several
school
board
meetings.
I've
watched
a
lot
of
school
board
meetings
from
las
vegas.
B
B
The
people
are
clearly
frustrated,
we're
all
pretty
frustrated
because
we
feel
like
we're
not
being
listened
to.
We
feel
like
now
nobody's
listening
to
us
and
they're
going
to
take
our
vote
away
from
us.
We
don't
even
believe
that
the
election
was
fair
so
to
have
somebody
elected
like
a
governor
or
a
mayor
in
an
election
that
we
don't
even
believe
was
fair
and
then
tell
that
person.
Oh
hey,
you
can
appoint
this
person
to
the
school
board,
that's
just
ridiculous
and
then
to
top
it
off,
give
them
taxpayer
money.
B
I
mean
that's,
that's
insane,
so
I'm
not!
Okay
with
that.
I
think
that
you
shouldn't
take
away
a
fundamental
right
to
vote.
I
think
that
there
should
be
some
sort
of
an
evaluation.
B
There
should
be
some
way
to
evaluate
the
school
board
members
if
they're
failing
and
I
mean
if
you
have
weekly
or
even
even
once,
every
three
months,
if
you've
got
parents
coming
in
saying
hey
my
kid's
being
discriminated
against,
my
kid's
being
beat
up
at
school
and
the
board
just
sits
there
and
does
nothing
to
the
point
of
where
the
parents
have
to
call
the
police,
because
the
board
won't
do
anything
about
it.
That's
a
problem,
so
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
account,
accountability,
a
way
to
evaluate
them.
B
B
K
K
There's
no
continuous
quality
improvement
in
our
schools
and
by
push
farming
that
out
to
a
somebody
who
is
appointed,
is
totally
antithetical
to
fixing
anything
because
then
again,
you'll
you'll
still
have
a
six-pack.
Without
that
plastic
thing,
holding
it
together
and
everybody
will
be
on
their
own
agenda,
so
we
need
to
have
a
cohesive.
K
K
K
You
know
nothing's
left
over
for
social
studies
and-
and
we
again,
I
think
the
people
have
been
messing
with
this
for
too
long
and
we
need
to
go
back
and
let
let
the
locals
have
control
over
that
and
again,
if
you
don't
like
your
school
board
source
candidates,
we
have
done
that
in
carson
city
and
there's
several
candidates.
We've
sourced,
maybe
they're
not
the
best
people
in
the
book
for
the
job,
but
I
think
they
would
they
work
really
well
and
they
work
really
hard.
K
Okay
and
their
goal
is
to
take
care
of
the
children.
So
I
think
that's
the
best
thing
is:
let
the
people
run
the
system.
The
way
it's
been,
don't
steal,
our
votes
don't
take
away
from
us.
Okay,
we
can
enrich
this
as
a
group.
The
system
and
the
system
needs
to
be
enriched.
I
mean
benjamin
franklin
says
we
have
a
democracy.
K
Don't
do
this,
let
us
be
have
our
elected
officials
and
let
us
move
forward
again.
Criteria
based
skill,
skill
based
net
job
descriptions
and
evaluations
are
the
main
focus
on
how
to
turn
a
company
around.
We
need
to
apply
those
principles
to
our
school
systems.
We've
learned
that
it
works
in
business.
K
O
O
O
School
boards
follow
the
policies
of
the
party
which
controls
the
legislature
and
money.
It
is
the
legislatures
which
can
improve
the
education
of
our
children,
but
they
do
not
instead
of
promoting
reading
writing,
math,
phonics,
critical
thinking
and
a
fair
and
truthful
examination
of
america
and
world
history,
and
a
comparison
of
our
republic
with
communist
and
and
socialist
nation.
The
common
core
education
system
instead
pushes
critical
race
theory,
sex
education,
transgenderism
all
intended
to
harm
the
family
unit
and
cause
division
in
our
communities.
O
O
We
must
return
to
traditional
teaching
methods
and
let
the
teachers
teach
instead
of
depending
on
computer
generated
curriculum,
which
supports
communistic
ideology.
We
need
to
get
rid
of
common
core
once
and
for
all.
We
need
to
raise
teachers,
salaries
and
reduce
administrators
salary
salaries.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
J
J
Community
really
needs
a
voice,
but
it
needs
a
voice.
That's
voted
in
and
it
needs
to
represent
those
children
in
that
community,
because
those
people
know
what
their
children
need
and
I'd
also
just
like
to
say
that
I
I
really
would
just
wish
we
could
stick
to
the
basics
and
let
some
of
these
other
ethical
things
be
taught
in
the
home.
J
I
really
feel
that
the
parent
is
being
taken
out
of
some
important
aspects
of
of
education,
and
I
would
just
like
my
grandchildren
to
get
a
good
education
on
the
basics,
and
you
know
I
hope
someday.
We
can
get
music
and
sports
and
foreign
language.
Those
are
all
great
things,
but
there
are
some
aspects
that
just
need
to
be
left
to
parents
and
parents
should
be
voting
who
who
are
on
the
school
boards.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
O
O
I
agree
with
many
speakers,
including
at
least
three
from
las
vegas,
the
first
lady
who
spoke
the
teacher
michelle
mcphee
and
trustee
ford,
in
particular
all
three
of
those
and
the
last
one
from
up
here.
The
lady
with
the
red
sweater
who
sat
in
this
seat
from
carson
city.
Don't
remember
her
name,
clark,
county
school
district.
O
O
O
It
sounds
like
the
biggest
problem
with
the
school
board
is
in
clark
county.
Why
would
you
even
attempt
to
quote
fix
the
other
16
counties
where
we
don't
have
these
major
problems
fix
clark
county
not
by
appointing
board
members?
I
don't.
I
don't
think
I
I
think
trustee
ford
had
it
over
the
last
12
years.
I've
spent
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
time
at
wcsd
board
meetings,
washa
county.
Please
don't
get
me
wrong.
O
O
B
Hi,
my
name
is
shannon
higgins
coley
and
I
have
been
a
nevada
resident
since
1969.
I
went
through
clark.
B
B
A
Thank
you,
let's
go
is
there,
I
can't
see
the
full
things
I
don't
know.
Is
there
another
person.
D
My
name
is
valerie
white,
I'm
from
washoe
county,
I'm
a
retired
public
school
teacher
of
almost
30
years.
In
the
public
school
system,
I've
worked
in
large
districts,
small
districts,
I've
been
involved
in
union
leadership
as
an
officer.
I've
seen
the
politics
in
districts
from
the
bottom
all
the
way
to
the
top.
D
D
Unions
are
political
organizations.
I
can
tell
you
from
experience.
Their
number
one
priority
is
protecting
teacher
pay,
teacher
jobs
and
teacher
politics.
The
unions
are
political,
they're,
leftist,
they're,
democrat
they're,
socialists
they're
marxist.
If
you
don't
believe
me,
just
go
on
social
media.
Look
at
some
tick,
tocks
look
at
some
instagrams
and
you
will
see
the
teachers
in
there
bragging
about
how
they
are
indoctrinating
the
students,
with
transgender
philosophy,
with
marx's
philosophy,
with
racial
philosophies
that
are
not
representative
of
the
communities
that
they're
teaching
in
they're
they're
abusing
their
position
as
teachers.
D
D
You
couldn't
count
on
other
teachers
who
were
also
active
in
that
union
to
support
you
if
you
needed
support
at
your
school
site.
So
when
these
union
representatives
come
and
talk
to
you
in
this
meeting
later
today
and
tell
you
that
they
are
experts
in
child
development,
that
they're
experts
in
understanding
the
psychological
or
emotional
needs
of
students
they're
overestimating
their
abilities,
parents
in
the
community
have
a
better
grasp
on
that
than
the
teachers
do,
but
they
will
tell
you
that
to
get
your
trust
to
make
you
believe.
D
Oh,
we
better
believe
them,
because
they
know
what
they're
talking
about
they're
with
children
all
day.
Well,
I'll
tell
you
they
don't
I've
seen
it
myself.
So
please!
When
they
speak
to
you,
please
consider
the
source
consider
that
they
have
political
agendas
that
are
very
leftist,
there's
no
diversity
in
it
and
I
don't
believe
their
number
one
goal
is
to
provide
a
good
education
for
students.
Now,
I'm
speaking
in
generalities,
I
know
there
are
good
teachers
out
there
and
I
believe
I
was
one
of
them.
I
did
the
pledge.
D
O
Betsy
strasburg,
I'm
from
carson
city
concerned
citizen,
I've
been
going
to
the
carson
city
school
board
for
about
two
years
now,
and
I
believe
that
we
have
a
good
system
here:
75
enrolled
students
with
seven
member
school
board
non-partisan.
We
just
had
the
primary
in
district
one.
So
the
best
two
ranked
choice
people
went
forward
to
the
general
election.
This
is
democracy
in
action.
O
Okay,
we
don't
want
selection,
the
in
business
school.
I
have
a
35
years
of
experience
in
business
working
with
fortune
500
companies
and
they
tell
us
that
the
best
support
is
provided
by
the
people
closest
to
the
stakeholders,
and
that
is
the
parents,
and
that
is
the
elected
officials
of
the
constituents,
not
the
appointees
of
some
unknown
somebody
somewhere
else
in
the
government,
though,
I
understand
that
the
role
of
the
state
board
is
and
is
decided
by
a
hybrid
model,
but
in
carson
city
the
school
board
are
the.
O
It
provides
the
leadership,
the
guidance,
the
governance,
the
superintendent
is.
The
implementer
of
those
policies
is
the
manager
of
a
large
organization.
We
have
a
179
million
dollar
budget,
so
it's
a
large
organization.
So
I
would
like
this
committee
to
focus
on
the
effectiveness
and
the
accountability
of
the
school
board.
Rather
than
the
composition.
O
We
have
school
board
trustees
who
don't
even
know
open
meeting
laws.
How
is
that
possible?
Who
cannot
be
a
good
facilitator
of
a
superintendent
contract
that
he
was
asked
to
go
and
negotiate
and
then
come
back
to
a
board
meeting
and
saying?
Well,
he
said,
and
she
said-
and
this
is
the
email
that
is
not
good
negotiation
of
a
contract.
O
So
we
need
more
help
in
educating
our
board
of
trustees,
of
what
is
effective
governance
and
policy
making
and
not.
It
is
not
dictated
by
the
selection
process
is
the
education
and
the
continuous
education,
and
I
like
the
idea
of
a
fixed
tenure
of
a
superintendent,
the
and
as
a
elected
body,
superintendent
being
an
elected
position
because
we
suffered
from
having
the
same
superintendent
for
14
years
and
that
organization
the
school
district
has
been
insulated
from
outside
best
practices.
O
So
it's
not
14
years,
it's
more
like
25
years
that
we
have
been
insulated
from
best
practices,
and
in
that
period
we
have
gone
down
where
our
academic
proficiencies
of
our
schools
is
at
level
two,
which
is
approaching
standards,
but
not
quite
there.
Our
school
board
trustees
talk
about
the
exception
students
who
go
to
ap
and
jumpstart,
but
it
is
not
it's
not
the
exception
that
proves
the
rule.
It
is
the
general.
I
have
been
a
lecturer
of
cal
state
hayward,
so
I
believe
in
public
education.
We
can't
do
without
it.
O
O
How
can
we
improve,
as
mr
nagle
said,
a
continuous
improvement
program
if
we
don't
have
goals
and
we
don't
have
a
way
to
measure
our
progress
to
those
goals?
That's
where
we
need
to
have
the
focus
of
this
committee
is
accountability
and
effectiveness
of
the
school
board,
not
the
selection
process.
Thank
you.
K
E
But
not
their
school
boards.
Why,
as
this
legislature,
investigates
various
proposals
to
take
away
the
voice
of
the
people,
some
questions
to
consider
who
will
appoint
our
school
boards,
so-called
experts,
who
will
be
appointed
to
our
school
boards,
again
so-called
experts
and
who
will
choose
our
curriculum
experts?
E
D
D
A
It's
unfair
to
I
mean
when
we're
trying
to
get
people
to
really
be
able
to
give
their
their
point
of
view.
You
know
you
know
when
you're
trying
to
talk
to
somebody,
you
don't
want
them
doing
that.
So
that's
all
what
I'm
trying
to
do
tonight
is
to
be
able
to.
We
want
to
hear
everybody's
voices,
and
you
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
Anyone
else
in
carson.
B
P
Hello,
this
is
janine
hanson
state
president
nevada
families
for
freedom.
We
oppose
the
appointment
of
school
board
members.
The
purpose
of
this
proposal
is
to
have
local
school
board.
Members
appointed
instead
of
elected
is
to
take
away
the
power
of
the
people,
parents
and
taxpayers
to
have
a
say
in
the
schools
they
pay
for.
This
proposal
is
not
only
undemocratic.
P
It
is
anti-democratic.
Democracy
is
defined
as
the
defined
as
the
government
by
the
people
in
which
the
common
people
are
considered
as
the
primary
source
of
political
power.
Just
as
the
people
are
awakening
to
the
tragic
mess
our
schools
are
in,
the
powers
that
be
are
trying
to
make
sure
the
people's
voices
cannot
be
heard.
The
schools
are
academic
failures.
They
do
not
prepare
children
to
be
americans,
but
indoctrinated
woke
clones
spouting
anti-american
ideas
like
critical
race
theory
and
anti-family
and
anti-parent
ideas
like
gender
identity.
P
The
proposal
for
appointed
school
board
members
is
brought
forth
by
ivory,
tower
egocrats,
seeking
more
control
and
less
oversight
of
the
failing
schools.
It
is
proposed
by
legislators,
not
parents,
taxpayers
or
constituents.
What
we
need
is
more,
not
less
accountability
for
the
failing
schools.
Elections
are
the
hallmark
of
accountability
for
those
who
are
supposed
to
serve
the
public,
not
the
educrats
and
special
interests.
Our
tax
dollars
have
been
squandered
on
dumbed-down
anti-american
and
anti-family
curriculum.
P
The
great
thing
is
the
public
which
has
long
been
asleep,
has
awakened
and
now
realizes
that
the
public
schools
have
been
stolen,
and
just
as
this
is
happening,
the
proposal
comes
forth
to
make
citizen
scrutiny
of
schools
more
impossible.
These
appointments
for
school
board
members
will
be
selected
by
special
interests
with
preferential
treatment.
Favoritism
bias
not
subject
to
the
scrutiny
of
the
ballot,
thus
squashing
transparency.
P
P
This
proposal
is
designed
look
to
dilute
the
power
of
the
people.
Appointed
people
are
insulated
from
the
people
and
are
not
interested
in
the
concerns
of
the
people
because
they
do
not
represent
them.
The
appointed
people
will
represent
the
powers
that
be.
This
proposal
shows
contempt
for
the
people
and
for
democracy.
P
And
committee,
okay,
good
evening,
chairman
and
committee,
this
is
lynn,
chapman
state,
treasurer
of
the
independent
american
party.
We
oppose
appointment
of
school
boards
and
a
hybrid
of
appointed
and
elected
school
boards.
Our
school
boards
in
our
state
are
very
important
to
the
citizens.
The
school
board
controls
the
school's
policies
and
budgets.
They
oversee
the
academic,
legal
and
financial
health
of
a
school
district.
They
hire
and
evaluate
the
district
superintendents
resolve
conflicts
and
allocate
funds.
They
represent
the
public
interest
and
serve
the
diverse
values
and
needs
of
their
community.
P
The
people
need
to
see
high
academic
standards,
transparency
and
accountability
from
our
school
board.
We,
the
people,
want
what
is
best
for
our
children
and
families.
Making
the
decisions
for
our
community
is
important
to
us
and
using
our
right
as
citizens
to
be
able
to
vote
for
people
to
work
in
our
favor
is
of
utmost
importance.
P
Previous
generations
have
fought
for
our
liberties,
and
one
of
those
liberties
is
the
right
to
vote.
Taking
away
our
right
to
vote
for
our
representation
on
our
local
school
board
is
the
wrong
action
to
take
appointment
of
any
board.
Member
is
one
too
many.
Please
oppose
the
appointment
or
hybrid
of
school
boards,
leave
the
important
job
of
choosing
our
school
boards
to
us,
the
parents
and
the
taxpayers.
C
Here
dennis
in
the
committee,
my
name
is
aaron
phillips
and
I
am
the
president
of
power
to
parent
union
and
I'm
also
a
mother
of
five
children.
Who've
all
gone
through
public
school
in
nevada,
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
today
because
I
know
that
our
parents
are
very
concerned
about
the
possibility
of
this
committee
changing
their
mind
that
they've
had
you
know
for
the
last.
C
However,
many
years
to
begin,
appointing
school
board
trustees
and
I've
been
very
much
a
part
of
these
meetings
for
the
last
seven
or
eight
years,
and
I've
seen
the
dysfunction
and
just
honestly,
someone
used
the
word
circus
earlier,
and
I
think
that
that
is
not
too
far
from
what
we've
seen
happen,
especially
over
the
last
four
years,
with
kobud
closures.
C
But
what
we've
also
seen
is
that
our
parents
have
been
woken
up
to
a
lot
of
what
has
gone
on
for
many
years.
They
did
not
realize,
what's
going
on
and
they've
realized
that
they
need
to
be
empowering
themselves
to
advocate
for
their
kids
and
when
we
are
seeing
parents
show
up
to
school
board
meetings.
We
know
that
that
is
an
opportunity
for
them
to
participate
in
the
democratic
process
and
if
you
have
appointed
trustees
over
elected
trustees,
there's
really
no
accountability
for
those
people
all
right
right.
C
Now,
it's
not
a
perfect
system,
but
there
are
many
things
we
could
discuss
on
how
to
make
it
better
and
hope
we
can
have
those
discussions,
especially
this
upcoming
session,
but
for
right
now
we
need
to
continue
to
allow
parents
and
voters
to
have
a
voice.
I
I
look
at
this
committee
and
I
think
every
single
person
on
this
committee
was
elected.
C
You
know
whether
you
voted
for
this
person
or
not.
Everyone
on
this
committee
is
elected
and
we
want
the
same
opportunity.
We
think
that
our
children
are
are
really
really
important
and
and
they're
they're,
one
of
the
most
valuable
resources
we
have
in
the
state
and
parents
and
community
members
should
have
the
same
opportunity
to
elect
their
leaders,
as
we've
had
to
elect
our
assembly
and
senate
leaders
as
well.
So
in
closing,
I
would
just
like
to
say
we
are
opposed
to
appointing
school
board
members.
C
C
A
A
Okay,
I
see
one
two,
three,
four,
five.
Okay,
let's
go
through
those
we.
I
I'm
seeing
a
pattern
and
remember
earlier
when
I
talked
about,
if
you're
going
to
say
the
same
thing
as
everyone
else
just
say:
ditto
and
I
don't
want
to
if
you
got
some
other
things,
especially
we
want
to
make
sure
you
have
that
opportunity.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
time
to
to
be
able
to
go
over
the
presentation
that
we
have
tonight.
I
think
it'll.
You
will
see
all
the
different
proposals
that
have
been
made.
A
So
a
lot
of
this
has
been
talked
about
one
specific
proposal,
but
we've
had
several
other
proposals
which
include
training
and
other
things
so,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
an
opportunity
to
get
to
those.
So
so
why
don't?
We
have
come
up
who
those
that
wish
to
give
their
comment?
There's
one
more
spot
here
in
the
middle.
So
there's
a.
E
Great
pleasure
for
having
me
here
thank
you
for
this
great
opportunity
when
you're
doing
this
man,
it
really
just
shows
you
guys
are
probably
obviously
losing,
because
we're
waking
up
there's
all
these
great
minds
coming
up,
so
yeah
just
keep
doing
what
you're
doing,
because
you're
really
showing
what
you
got
before.
I
begin
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
mr
dennis,
for
the
nice
talk
we
had
several
months
ago,
and
I
appreciate
you
handling
this
meeting.
E
A
E
E
E
E
E
What
I
see
the
school
district
is
a
symptom
of
a
larger
problem,
and
that
is
this
county
structure
which
needs
to
be
broken
up.
This
is
the
only
metropolitan
area
that
has
one
county
in
the
united
states
break
it
up.
It
worked
in
1935,
we
need
to
have
multiple
counties,
and
so
will
the
school
districts
will
break
up
or
add,
more
trustees.
Add
more
commissioners,
that's
the
way.
I
see
it
as
far
as
your
teaching
goes
look
a
lot
of
things
you
do
we
got
to
do
the
contrary.
E
D
Hi,
my
name
is
rachel
poina,
I
don't
represent
my
school.
I
just
represent
myself
and
my
experiences,
so
you
know
I'm
a
public
school
teacher
the
way
I
came
here
to
las
vegas
and
they
know
my
story
and
I'll
tell
the
story,
because
it's
everybody,
it's
you're,
gonna
hear
it.
So
I
came
here
hired
by
ccsd
as
a
teacher
public
school
teacher.
D
This
is
from
experience
from
various
different
school
districts
and
I'll
just
tell
you
my
experience.
I
came
from
three
years
in
compton,
unified
and
ccsd
is
a
is
a
nightmare
compared
to
that.
So
that's
how
bad
it
is
here
in
ccsd
I
had.
It
was
so
bad
that
I
had
to
walk
away.
It
was
traumatic.
I
had
ptsd
took
me
years
to
finally
stop
having
nightmares
about
it,
so
that
just
gives
you
a
backdrop
of
what
you
you
have
to
listen
to
as
teachers.
D
Another
thing,
if
you're
thinking
about
taking
the
vote
away
from
the
the
parents
or
from
anybody
any
of
the
voters
I'll
tell
you
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
people.
You're
you're
going
to
bleed
a
lot
more
students
from
ccsd
they're,
walking
away,
they're
going
to
charter
schools
and
they're
going
they're
finding
alternative
schooling.
So
please
don't
do
that
you,
you
have
the
trustees
here.
They
are
even
telling
you
don't
do
it.
D
They
had
a
lot
of
opposition
and
it's
amazing
that
they
come
to
work
all
the
time
getting
shouted
out,
which
is
you
know
fine,
but
they
represent
and
they
represent
us
just
so
you
know
you
guys
really
really
just
listen
to
the
people,
if
you
think
about
taking
our
voices
away,
how
much
more
distress
that
you're
going
to
get
so
you
you
this
alone,
just
suggesting
it.
You
could
hear
how
many
people
are
upset
about
it.
D
So
if
you
want
to
so
distressed
of
even
more
so
with
politicians,
this
is
the
one
way
to
do
it
by
taking
their
votes
away.
So
please
don't
do
it
and
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
Thank
you.
Thank.

E
E
The
former
speaker
here
is
a
witness
to
the
mass
exodus
from
our
schools
in
some
districts
across
this
country.
48
percent
of
students
are
leaving
public
education.
Why?
Because
they
don't
like
to
be
dictated
to-
and
so
you
know,
my
three
sisters-
all
educators,
home,
educated,
their
kids
because
of
the
dictation
that
is
coming
down
in
their
districts
and
we
home
educated
our
children
as
well.
E
G
G
I
am
also
trying
to
be
an
elected
official.
What,
if
I
was
just
appointed,
would
I
do
a
good
job
who
knows?
But
if
I
was
elected
by
the
people,
as
I
promised
to
the
people
that
I'm
going
to
serve,
I
will
do
my
job
for
them,
not
for
an
oligarch
not
for
tyrannical
governments
and
not
for
communist
governments.
G
G
Is
that
you're,
taking
away
our
vote
on
a
school
board
that
we
detest
right
now,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
for
sure,
because
I've
been
to
those
school
board
meetings
and
I
see
how
these
school
board
people
act
and
they
should
be
removed
every
single
one
of
them,
and
I
don't
mean
just
one
or
two
all
of
them-
they
all
need
to
be
taken
out.
However,
I
do
want
to
make
a
point
two
of
the
school
board
members
that
are
here
today.
G
I
actually
am
on
their
side
as
far
as
not
appointing
school
board
members,
I
agree
with
them
on
that,
which
means
we
can
all
come
to
an
agreement
together
to
work
together
and
not
be
subjugated
to
ruling
class.
We
are
not
going
to
be
ruled
by
somebody
else.
We
are
the
people
we
vote
for
our
people
that
we
want
in
office.
That's
the
bottom
line.
G
It's
about
freedom,
and
it's
about
teaching
our
children
about
what
america
is
and
what
our
freedoms
are
not
about
giving
them
what
skin
color
you
are
or
or
what
sexual
transition
you
are
or
any
of
that
garbage
that's
being
taught
in
school
right
now.
So,
what's
telling
me
now,
is
you
want
to
appoint
people,
so
you
can
continue
teaching
that
garbage
and
not
listen
to
the
people.
We
don't
want
this
stuff
in
our
schools.
We
want
math
english.
G
We
want
history,
american
history,
constitutional
history,
and
we
want
our
children
to
be
taught
how
to
live
as
productive
citizens,
not
as
somebody
sitting
on
a
couch
smoking,
a
joint
and
not
doing
anything
for
the
rest
of
their
life
and
that's
what
you're
going
for
and
that's
what
you're
doing
right
now
our
children
aren't
learning.
I
need
you
to
wrap
up
yeah.
Our
children
aren't
learning
at
all.
They're,
not
learning
they're,
all
in
trouble
and
you're
worried
about
appointing
a
board
come
on.
Give
me
a
break.
A
And
I
just
want
to
clarify
one
thing
because
everybody
keeps
talking
about
it.
We
are
not
voting
on
anything
tonight.
There's
not
anything
going
to
be
voted
on
before
the
legislative
session,
which
is
in
february,
but
we
are
trying
to
get
information
and
giving
people
an
opportunity.
I'm
going
to
take
these
last
two
and
then
we're
going
to
go
to
the
and
there's
going
to
be
another
opportunity
at
the
end
to
get
public
comments
so
I'll
start
here
and
then
we'll
go
there
thanks.
O
Judy
leslie-
and
I
do
agree
with
most
everybody
here-
that
appointing
a
school
board
would
not
help
or
solve
any
of
the
ccps
problems.
Someone
spoke
about
ccd
sdf.
O
I
think
we
should
find
the
50
million
that
has
gone
missing
until
then.
There
should
be
no
money
is
granted
to
ccsd
what
has
happened
to
all
the
millions
of
the
so-called
covet.
Many
we,
the
people
need
an
audit.
I
cannot
trust
any
of
you
to
make
to
to
appoint
anybody
that
would
be
suitable
because
we
all
know
that
vada
is
corrupt.
It
would
be
somebody's
sister,
somebody's
brother
somebody's
uncle
somebody's
this.
No,
we
cannot
do
that.
O
Appointing
a
school
board
probably
won't
be
an
issue
with
over
4
000,
sealed
indictments
for
nevada,
and
I'm
sure
some
of
these
have
your
names
on
them.
If
you
certify
the
2020
election,
I'm
sure
of
those
include
the
school
board.
Commissioners,
politicians,
judges,
doctors,
nurses,
for
crimes
against
humanity.
My
only
question
is
what
you're
going
to
do
when
they
come
for
you.
A
Okay,
let
remember
please
be,
and
I
don't
want
anybody
I
I
understand
comments,
but
let's
try
not
to
make
any
threats
that
could
be
taken
as
a
threat.
Okay,.
A
D
Good
evening
my
name
is
rebecca
dirks
garcia,
I'm
the
president
of
the
nevada
parent
teacher
association,
I'm
also
the
proud
mom
of
three
clark
county
school
district
students
who
are
thrilled
to
be
back
in
their
school
this
year
and
excited
for
the
school
year
ahead
of
them.
Nevada
pta
doesn't
have
a
specific
position
on
many
of
the
things
that
you're
going
to
be
discussing
tonight.
D
People
are
confused
about,
is
they're
elected.
Is
there
not?
Are
they
paid?
Are
they
not?
Who
appointed
this?
Who
did
this?
Is
there
training
or
not,
which
I
think
the
two
sitting
trustees
who've
talked
tonight,
spoke
very
well
on
the
lack
of
training
and
opportunities
to
make
sure
that
our
trustees
are
prepared
for
the
roles
that
they're
elected
for
so
as
we
approach
these
discussions,
I
would
just
ask
that
you
focus
on
that
end,
as
trustee
cavazos
talked
about,
which
should
be
the
benefit
of
our
children
and
public
education
serving
all
nevadans.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment.
This
opening
one
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
I'd
like
to
move
to
item
number
three:
we're
going
to
have
a
report
from
our
staff
on
all
the
different
recommendations
that
we've
discussed
so
far
in
the
the
other
meeting
that
we
had
and
then
and
then
I'll
take
a.
I
want
to
take
a
just,
a
quick
break
right
after
that,
just
because
we've
gone
a
long
time.
So
if
we
could
have
our
staff
do
their
presentation.
Q
Q
It
also
featured
an
open
microphone
setting
which
allowed
for
extensive
discussion
of
these
topics
by
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public.
This
presentation
will
highlight
the
central
topics
that
were
discussed
during
that
meeting
potential
recommendations
that
emerged
from
members
and
participants
and
possible
discussion
questions
related
to
those
recommendations.
Q
Q
Q
First,
the
topics
discussed
pertaining
to
board
member
qualifications
included
implementing
certain
expectations
for
board
members,
as
discussion
centered,
on
identifying
high
expectations
for
members,
with
a
focus
on
accountability
and
student
outcomes.
For
example,
other
topics
discussed
included,
developing
a
shared
vision
or
goals
for
the
school
board
and
aligning
that
vision
to
current
resources.
Q
Finally,
it
was
noted
that
the
current
qualifications
for
board
members,
according
to
nevada,
revised
statutes,
386
240,
are
limited
in
scope.
Currently,
the
only
qualifications
for
members
are
being
a
qualified
elector
and
satisfy
the
relevant
residency
requirements
for
reference.
Some
of
these
topics,
as
they
pertain
to
other
states,
are
covered
in
a
follow-up
memo
from
the
education
commission
of
the
states
for
the
may
3rd
committee
on
education
meeting.
A
A
Okay,
I'm
sorry
for
interrupting.
Please
go
on.
A
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
have
it
on
on
the
big
screen
here?
It
would
have
to
be
on
the
computer.
A
I'm
gonna
pause
for
just
a
second
to
see,
if
maybe
we
can
get
it
on
that
screen.
I
think
it'd
have
to
be
put
on
that
laptop
but
hold
on
one.
Second,.
A
Can
in
the
audience,
can
you
see
the
bigger
okay?
Thank
you.
You're
gonna
go
ahead
and
just
run
it
from
there
perfect.
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
Sorry
for
a
second
interruption!
Please
go
ahead.
We
put
it
on
a
bigger
screen
here,
so
it
can
be
seen
from
the
audience.
O
R
Q
For
example,
the
memo
outlines
arizona's
and
utah's
local
school
board
member
qualifications,
including
voter
and
residency
status,
as
well
as
requirements
around
serving
simultaneously
as
a
board
member
and
a
board
or
school
employee.
The
education
commission
of
the
states
provides
additional
details
and
other
examples
in
its
memo,
including
various
educational
or
professional
criteria.
Q
Q
Q
The
next
general
topic
discussed
at
the
may
3rd
meeting
was
the
election
and
appointment
of
school
board
members.
This
included
discussion
on
different
types
of
representation
on
the
board,
such
as
educator
and
student
representation,
diverse
representation
among
board
members
and
representation
of
specific
occupations.
Q
The
possibility
of
an
at-large
member
on
the
board
and
a
review
of
public
financing
of
elections
among
candidates
was
also
discussed.
Finally,
the
possibilities,
risks
and
benefits,
and
current
examples
of
appointed
and
hybrid
boards
were
discussed
for
reference.
Some
of
the
topics
as
they
pertain
to
other
states
are
covered
in
the
follow-up
memo
from
the
education
commission
of
the
states
for
the
may
3rd
committee
on
education
meeting.
Q
For
example,
the
memo
provides
information
on
new
york,
city's
and
chicago
school
board
models,
both
of
which
are
under
mayoral
control
with
appointed
members,
though
chicago
is
moving
to
an
elected
model.
Instead,
new
york
city's
model
is
made
up
of
15
appointed
members
and
the
chancellor
and
chicago's
current
board
is
made
up
of
seven
appointed
members,
though
it
will
be
transitioning
to
a
21-member
elected
board
over
the
next
five
years.
Q
Q
Would
a
change
to
a
hybrid
board
change
the
number
of
members?
How
many
members
would
be
elected
versus
appointed?
How
would
constituent
representation
be
determined
and
would
any
member
serving
in
a
non-voting
advisory?
Would
any
member
serve?
Excuse
me
in
a
non-voting
advisory
or
other
capacity?
If
so,
whom.
Q
Q
Information
from
the
ecs
memo
may
be
relevant
specifically
for
the
clark
county
school
district,
as
certain
salary
details
were
provided
for
comparable
school
boards.
For
example,
the
los
angeles
unified
school
district
board
members
have
earned
an
annual
salary
of
125
000
since
2017
and
miami-dade
school
board,
members
earn
an
annual
salary
of
45
000..
Q
Likewise,
members
of
the
chicago
board
of
education,
which
is
under
mayoral
control
but
will
be
transitioning
to
an
elected
board
in
the
coming
years,
do
not
receive
a
salary
and
once
board
members
are
elected,
they
will
not
be
compensated
either
for
reference.
According
to
nrs
386
320
nevada,
school
board
trustees
receive
a
salary
ranging
from
250
dollars
to
750
dollars
per
month,
based
on
county
population.
Q
Q
Q
If
such
recommendations
are
of
interest,
there
are
several
questions
the
committee
on
education
might
consider.
They
are.
What
should
salaries
for
board
members
be
what
other
changes
might
increase
board?
Member
retention?
Would
a
salary
increase
change?
Your
runs
for
school
board
would
safety
what
safety
members
should
be
implemented
and
what
measures
would
support
school
board?
Member
efficiency,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
things
over
to
jen
sturm.
N
N
One
main
point
of
conversation
was
the
type
of
training
that
board
members
receive
and
whether
increased
or
different
training
should
be
considered.
Within
this
topic
of
conversation,
discussion
included
one
the
timing
of
training,
both
in
terms
of
minimum
hour
requirements
and
when
the
training
is
administered
during
a
member's
term.
Two
potential
concerns
regarding
a
lack
of
training,
including
subject
matter
considerations:
three,
the
current
training
requirements
for
members
and
the
sufficiency
of
those
requirements,
and
four
current
resources
to
support
board
member
training
discussions
also
centered
on
processes
of
members.
Accountability
of
member
accountability.
N
Excuse
me
for
completing
training
and
ideas
relating
to
evaluations
of
board
members
and
leaders.
On
page
three
of
the
memo
previously
referenced
by
my
colleague
here
ecs
offers
information
on
superintendent
evaluations,
adding
that
ecs
was
unable
to
identify
evaluations
for
school
boards
being
used
in
other
states,
state
statutes
or
regulations.
N
From
these
conversations
relating
to
training
and
accountability,
three
recommendations
seem
to
emerge.
One
implement
guidelines
or
requirements
for
board
member
training,
two
implement
an
accountability
system
for
training
completion
and
three
work
with
existing
entities
like
the
regional
professional
development
programs,
nevada's
department
of
education,
the
nevada
association
of
school
boards
or
the
national
school
board
association
to
provide
initial
and
continual
training,
education,
professional
development
and
or
coaching
to
board
members
is
such
recommendations
are
of
interest.
There
are
several
questions
that
the
committee
this
committee
might
consider.
N
N
N
What
will
accountability
enforcement
look
like,
and
what
should
the
protocol
be
for
non-compliant
board
members?
Finally,
topics
pertaining
to
school
board.
Member
support
was
also
discussed.
These
topics
included
one
the
use
of
staff,
including
subject
matter
experts
and
other
support
models
to
assist
board
members
in
their
work.
N
From
this
particular
category
of
conversation,
four
recommendations
were
proposed:
use
a
planning
commission
model
like
that
used
by
the
clark
county
commission
to
assist
board
members
in
their
work.
Two
dedicate
staff,
such
as
administrative
support
and
independent
financial
and
legal
experts
to
assist
board
members.
N
Three
add
non-voting
advisory
members
to
the
boards
and
four
consider
the
use
of
sot
represent
representation
on
large
school
board
school
district
boards,
currently
the
clark
county
school
district.
If
such
recommendations
are
of
interest
to
the
committee,
there
are
several
questions
that
the
committee
might
consider,
including
for
non-voting
advisory
members.
What
types
of
expertise
should
be
sought,
what
would
sot
representation
of
the
district
level
look
like,
and
what
is
the
consideration
for
this
representation
for
smaller
school
districts?
N
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
members.
Do
we
have
any
questions
anything
that
you
recall
from
the
meeting
that
we
didn't
cover
and
just
for
the
the
the
folks
that
perhaps
didn't
participate
in
that
particular
meeting?
We
we
took
suggestions
from
a
wide
variety
of
individuals
that
that
were
there
at
the
meeting
to
to
provide
some
of
these,
and
then
we
had
some
additional
some.
A
That
came
up
that
we
that
were,
we
were
able
to
make
sure
that
we
answered,
or
at
least
made
sure
that
the
questions
are
there,
so
that,
as
we
consider
anything
moving
forward,
that
we'll
have
we'll
make
sure
to
be
able
to
answer
those
questions.
So,
as
you
can
see,
these
are
the
topics
so
far
that
we
have
talked
about
this
issue,
and
these
and
tonight
we've
got
some
some
presentations
as
we
move
forward.
A
J
Please
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
jyn
and
alex
for
all
of
the
work
that
we
did
to
put
this
together.
It
is
not
just
the
minutes
that
you
put
up
right
away
is
also
sometimes
getting
everything
else
prepared.
Thank
you
so
much
for
doing
basically
a
five
hour
meeting
succinctly
in
about
15
minutes.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you
do
for
our
legislature
and
also
for
our
state.
It
is
greatly
appreciated.
A
Thank
you.
We
do
have.
They
do
amazing
work
and
you
know
it
takes
a
lot
to
get
all
put
all
these
thoughts
together
in
a
way
that
that
can
make
sense.
So
I
would
do
we
do
appreciate
our
staff,
any
other
questions
or
comments.
A
I
don't
see
the
folks
online,
so
I
don't
know
if
they
have
any
questions.
But,
okay
with
that,
I
am
going
to
take
a
let's
see
a
10
minute
break
and
we're
gonna.
It's
gonna
be
a
set
ten
minutes,
so
we
will
right
now
I
have
actually
what
I'm
gonna
say
is
it'll,
be
a
nine
minute
break
because
we're
gonna
go
until
25
after
and
start
back
up.
So
we
are
in
recess
for
nine
minutes.
A
All
right,
so,
here's,
if
you
see
the
agenda
we've
got
some
presentations
under
we're,
going
to
go
to
item
number
four
presentation
on
the
composition
of
school
board
trustees:
some
we
we
put
out
there
for
anyone
that
wanted
to
bring
a
presentation,
and
these
are
the
ones
that
that
came
forth.
I
I
will
say
just
one
change
here:
the
first
one.
A
There
is
representative
the
clark
county
education
association
that
one
along
with
the
last
one,
the
representation
of
the
council
for
better
nevada,
as
well
as
several
other
ones,
all
decided
to
combine
theirs.
So
we're
going
to
have
that
presentation
first
and
then,
after
we're
done,
we'll
ask
some
questions
and
things
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
second
presentation,
which
will
be
the
representatives
of
the
nevada
state
education
association.
A
So
with
that,
let's
go
with
the
first
presentation.
So
whenever
you're
ready
and
make
sure
you
just
identify
yourselves
as
you,
you
speak.
F
Thank
you,
chair
dennis
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
janna
wilcox-lavin,
I'm
the
ceo
of
opportunity,
180.
and
just
wanted
to
share
quickly
a
little
bit
about
why
our
organization
is
participating
in
this
conversation.
F
F
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
started
there
with
the
idea
that
kids
really
should
be
at
the
center
of
each
of
these
conversations,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
as
a
community
to
come
together
and
define
what
we
hope
to
be
true
for
every
kid
in
our
state
and
then
ensure
that
our
governance
practices
align
to
bringing
that
to
life.
And
with
that
I
will
hand
it
off
to
my
colleague,
dr
martinez,.
R
And
good
evening,
good
evening,
dennis
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
you
today.
My
name
is
magdalena
martinez.
I'm
an
associate
professor
at
unlv
and
a
director
for
the
lindsay
institute.
The
lindsay
institute
is
a
public
policy.
Think
tank
with
the
focus
on
helping
to
build
capacity
on
issues
related
to
health,
education,
economic
development,
governance
and
social
services
in
nevada.
Part
of
my
role
is
also
to
work
with
community-based
groups
to
help
facilitate
and
inform
the
public
discourse
on
issues
of
import.
R
Today's
presentation
is
one
example
of
how
the
lindsay
institute
works
with
nevada
residents.
School
governance,
as
we've
heard
today,
is
a
key
component
to
having
successful
schools
that
meet
the
goals
for
students
at
its
core
school
governance.
How
we
structure
governing
boards
represents
our
values,
beliefs
and
priorities
for
our
community.
Therefore,
governance
needs
to
adapt
to
our
changing
priorities,
values
and
beliefs.
This
is
progress.
R
For
some
time
there
have
been
several
legislative
bills
related
to
school
governance.
Many
of
these
bills
have
proposed
additional
training,
professional
development
and
ways
to
strengthen
the
existing
governance
structure.
What
has
become
clear,
however,
is
that
there
comes
a
time
when
existing
structures
no
longer
meet
the
needs
of
its
people
and
new
governance
models
must
be
considered.
Let
me
make
this
clear:
you
can
have
the
most
dedicated
and
committed
individuals
run
and
serve
as
a
school
board
member,
but
the
structure
will
fail
the
individuals
and,
more
tragically,
our
youth
and
our
families.
R
R
Since
early
2022,
a
coalition
of
individuals
representing
various
constituency
groups
have
come
together
to
discuss
and
deliberate
on
what
a
new
school
governance
model
might
look
like.
The
following
groups,
which
you
see
on
the
screen,
have
convened
approximately
11
times
to
identify
key
principles
that
can
hopefully
inform
a
new
school
governance
model.
R
Along
with
my
colleague,
who
has
already
introduced
herself
I'll
briefly
touch
on
the
principles
and
how
these
can
be
operationalized
into
a
new
model
and
with
the
permission
of
the
chair,
we
would
also
like
also
invite
like
to
invite
members
of
the
coalition
to
briefly
share
their
ideas,
as
it
relates
to
the
guiding
principles.
My
presentation
will
be
about
four
minutes
long.
R
You
the
guiding
principles,
focus
on
representation,
qualifications
and
accountability,
and,
as
my
colleagues
stated,
the
guiding
principles
are
key
pillars
for
a
student-centered
governance
structure
and
regardless
of
the
specific
structure,
a
school
board.
Trustees
must
have
a
dedicated
commitment
to
student
achievement
and
the
goals
of
the
broader
community.
R
The
composition
of
school
board
should
represent
the
diversity
of
its
constituents
through
identified
geographic
boundaries
in
the
county
in
most
counties
in
most
counties
in
the
state,
a
seven-member
board
may
make
sense
in
a
reason,
regions
such
as
southern
nevada,
where
the
school
district
serves
the
population
over
2
million.
It
does
not
make
sense
with
over
2
million
residents,
and
it
is
the
28th
largest
metro
metro
area
in
the
country.
Yet
it's
the
fifth
largest
school
district
in
the
nation.
R
Therefore,
moreover,
as
we've
heard
today
about
ninety
percent
of
school
board,
models
are
elected
and,
and
the
coalition
members
believe
in
the
voice
of
the
of
the
public
and
the
people
as
such
one
recommendation
is
to
transition
to
a
hybrid
board.
But
elected
seats
remain
the
dominant
on
the
board.
R
We
have
submitted
a
handout
with
specific
suggestions
on
how
how
how
and
who
would
recommend
an
appointed
board
and
we've
also
identified
a
list
of
existing
statutes
that
may
help
inform
specific
language
either
in
nevada
or
in
other
states,
notably,
the
nevada
department
of
education
can
serve
as
a
model,
with
the
exception
of
the
elected
seats
in
a
school
board,
which
should
remain
the
majority
on
the
school
board.
Finally,
we
know
that
the
voice
of
students
is
essential
for
education
policy
and
the
coalition
suggested
a
an
appointed
non-voting
student
member.
R
That's
the
slide
I
just
spoke
on.
I
apologize.
I
did
not
forward
the
next
principle.
Qualification
underscores
the
need
for
continued
and
more
expansive
training
and
professional
development
after
election
and
or
appointment.
The
document
framework
identifies
specific
statutes
again
and
states
and
states
with
robust
training
and
professional
development
guidelines.
I
will
not
go
through
it
in
detail
in
the
interest
of
time,
but
should
anyone
have
any
questions?
The
coalition
members
would
be
happy
to
answer
specific
questions
related
to
the
handout
document
that
you've
all
received.
A
F
Thank
you,
jana
wilcox
lavin
for
the
record,
so
the
last
guiding
principle
that
we
discussed
and
have
been
continuing
to
discuss
is
around
accountability,
and
I
know
we
did
hear
a
lot
from
other
representatives
here
today
during
public
comment
around
accountability,
I
think
ultimately
it's
around
deciding
once
we
decide
what
we
want
to
be
true
for
for
kids
and
we
nail
that
down
and
we
align
our
governance
structure
in
that
way
in
what
ways
we'll
be
able
to
hold
both
ourselves
and
our
board
accountable
to
ensuring
student
achievement,
targets
are
met
in
that
way.
F
So,
as
my
colleague
mentioned,
and
as
the
coalition
has
discussed,
the
concept
of
a
hybrid
board
providing
opportunities
for
differentiated
accountability
through
differentiated
ways
in
which
board
members
are
identified
for
a
school
board.
Trustee
is
one
opportunity
to
consider
for
increasing
accountability,
we're
looking
at
accountability
in
new
ways
and
another
would
be
thinking
about
what
an
intervention
framework
could
look
like
should.
F
Should
we
not
be
meeting
targets
as
we've
established,
we
have
proposed
you'll,
see
in
the
document
looking
for
targets
of
a
student
achievement
that
already
exists
that
are,
in
a
framework
that's
already
accessible
in
our
state,
both
of
those
currently
being
the
sip.
The
state
improvement
plan,
which
is
approved
every
year
by
the
state
board
and
or
the
federally
approved
essa
plan,
which
is
currently
in
practice.
F
I'm
not
suggesting
either
of
those
are
perfect,
but
certainly
suggesting
that
they
exist
and
they're
part
of
our
natural
practice
in
the
state
right
now
and
set
out
a
course
out
of
achievement
targets
every
year,
and
so
with
that.
That's
those
are
the
formal
guiding
principles
and
associated
comments,
and
we
can
allow
the
other
coalition
members
to
come.
Speak.
E
Good
evening,
members
of
the
committee
paul
moratkin
with
the
vegas
chamber,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
chamber's
had
a
long
history
of
engaging
in
education
policy.
The
chamber
over
the
years
has
supported
several
brills
regarding
k-12
education
governance
over
the
last
several
sessions,
and
this
has
been
ongoing
conversation
in
the
state
capital
regarding
board
governance.
E
The
simple
fact
is:
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
not
working
and
by
keeping
the
same
thing,
will
not
improve
our
student
outcomes
and
achievements
and
for
the
work
that
this
committee
and
the
legislative
body
has
done
over
the
last
several
years
and
modernize
the
formula
and
ensure
that
students
have
the
resources
they
need
to
succeed
in
the
future.
So
that
is
why
the
chamber
is
supporting
this
concept
and
we
appreciate
the
openness
and
willingness
to
have
this
conversation
for
the
upcoming
session.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee.
S
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
community
committee,
my
name
is
maureen
schaefer,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
council
for
a
better
nevada.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
We've
been
involved
in
many
issues
that
affect
quality
of
life
for
nevadans,
but
principle
to
all
of
them
has
been
our
engagement
in
education
issues.
The
last
18
years
that
we've
been
involved
in
nevada
issues
as
a
sampling.
S
We
were
involved
in
the
work
that
you
did
to
create
a
weighted
student
formula
for
the
state
and
we
were
very
involved
in
the
decentralization
efforts
which
brought
decision
making
closes
to
the
students
through
budget
and
decision
making
at
the
school
level.
We
will
work
with
anyone
who
supports
children,
parents,
families
and
our
communities
when
it
comes
to
education
and
we
worked
with
labor,
we
worked
with
all
of
you.
We
worked
with
parents
and,
of
course
we
worked
with
our
fellow
business
leaders
and
philanthropists
when
it
came
to
these
issues
and
many
others.
S
When
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
governance,
we've
learned
when
it
works
when
it
comes
to
our
work
and
issues
like
judicial
issues,
health
care
issues,
transportation
issues
and
no
less
education,
issues,
governance
matters
and
it
starts
at
the
top.
And
when
governance
is
working
well-
and
you
have
a
strong
system,
everything
else
flows
very
well
or
at
least
better,
and
when
your
governance
is
not
working,
you
can
have
the
best
people.
You
can
have
the
best
ideas
and
things
will
not
work
efficiently,
or
certainly
less
so,
and
we've
grown
as
a
state.
S
In
the
last
30
years
exponentially,
we've
brought
more
people
here.
We've
certainly
had
more
diversity
with
more
complex
needs,
and
our
education
system
is
getting
less
return
than
it's
ever
had
and
we
have
more
needs
and
more
complexity
than
we've
ever
had
before
to
deal
with
in
certainly
no
less
k-12.
S
We
need
to,
as
our
presentation
stated,
to
look
at
our
governance
and
and
be
honest
about
the
hard
working
board
members
in
all
of
our
all
of
our
districts,
no
less
clark
county
and
be
very
honest
with
ourselves
about
how
no
matter
who
runs
for
these
offices
and
who
plays
these
roles.
How
difficult,
if
not
impossible.
It
is
to
be
successful
in
those
roles
and
for
the
obligations
and
responsibilities
they
have.
S
We
want
to
be
in
it
with
you.
So
it's
not
about
appointed
or
elected
it's
about
what
do
we
have
to
do
to
reimagine
these
roles
and
these
governance
structures?
I
tell
you,
governance
matters.
We
make
these
decisions
as
business
leaders.
We
make
these
decisions
as
parents.
We
have
to
make
these
decisions
within
these
education
structures
because
we're
not
the
nevada
of
even
five
years
ago,
let
alone
20
years
ago,
when
we
have
to
be
the
nevada
of
today
and
the
nevada
of
what
we
want.
S
5
10
15
20
25
years
from
now,
because
that's
what
our
kids
are
going
to
be,
so
we
do
it
as
parents,
we
have
to
do
it
as
education
leaders
and
future
community
leaders
of
what
we
want
for
nevada.
S
J
J
The
board's
dysfunction
has
negatively
impacted
both
ccsd
students
and
staff.
Due
to
the
actions
of
a
small
group
of
trustees,
student
achievement
has
not
been
a
top
priority.
Ccsd
board
of
trustees
need
to
be
comprised
of
both
appointed
and
elected
trustees,
who
have
the
background
needed
to
focus
on
politics
and
student
achievement.
J
A
hybrid
model
would
ensure
that
a
board
of
trustees
that
the
board
of
trustees
have
the
qualifications
and
experience
needed
to
oversee
a
multi-billion
dollar
budget
cca
believes
the
hybrid
model
should
have
the
majority
of
elected
trustees,
along
with
some
appointees
again
cca
supports
the
coalition's
recommendations.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
was
that
all
the
ones
that
that
we're
going
to
okay
great
so
let's
go
to
questions
so
if
somebody
come
can
come
forward,
I
know
I
have
I'm
gonna
start
I'll
start
some
questions
off
and
then
I'm
gonna
ask
the
members.
F
This
is
jana
wilcox
11
for
the
record,
I
would
say
we
primarily
focused
on
clark
county
school
district,
where
most
of
the
individuals
in
the
coalition
participated,
but
I
think
the
concept
of
establishing
a
target
for
what
we
want
to
see
to
be
true
for
kids
and
ensuring
a
governance
model,
that's
aligned
would
be
true
anywhere,
whatever,
whatever
model
that
ended
up.
Looking
like.
P
Thank
you
cheer
dennis
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
very
enlightening.
My
question
actually
is.
We
now
currently
have
a
seven
trustee
board
and
you
are,
you
know,
put
out
there
that
you
were
looking
at.
P
Member
and
I
wanted
to
know
how
did
you
come
up
with
nine
members?
How
would
that
be
fair
and
but
go
ahead
and
answer
that
one,
if
you
could,
I
do
have
follow-up.
F
I
think,
if
you
look
to
the
state
board
as
an
example
of
a
statewide
body
that
includes
non-voting
members,
there's
also
an
opportunity
to
consider
how
expanded
seats
could
include
additional
perspectives
that
were
non-voting
as
well
and
I'll
just
share
really
quickly.
I
don't
think
these
recommendations
are
hard
and
fast.
I
think
these
are
considerations
that
exist,
that
we
could
point
to
examples
either
in
state
or
out
of
state
to
consider
aligned
to
those
principles.
But
again
we
were
really
putting
forward
the
framework
for
discussion.
P
Thank
you,
follow-up
chair.
Please,
yes,
go
ahead!
Okay
with
that
said,
what
areas
are
you
looking
to
put
those
two
additional
board?
You
know
because
we
have
a
diverse
community
coming
up
and
we
have
communities
that
are
not
represented,
and
I
would
just
like
to
know
you
know
when
you
you
know
had
this
big
think
tank.
Did
you
look
at
what
areas
you
would
suggest
that
those
new
board
members
would
represent.
H
Thank
you
so
much
chair
for
the
question.
I
have
a
question.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
your
thoughtfulness
to
the
committee
for
for
working
on
this.
It's
very
interesting
things
that
you
brought
up.
I
wanted
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
specifically
on
the
governance.
H
Can
you
explain
what
that
that
looks
like?
In
particular,
I
know
we,
we
did
some
things
last
session,
but
I
I
was
just
curious
if
you
could
drill
down
on
what
you
imagine,
the
governor's
governance
aspect
would
look
like
in
the
training
and
I
think
we
kind
of
talked
about
during
our
meeting
on
what
would
happen
if
people
didn't
pay
attention
to
those
governance
guidelines,
and
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
guys
could
expand
on
that
a
little
bit.
Thank
you.
F
This
is
jana
wilcox
11
for
the
record
I'll
get
started
and
then
hand
it
over
to
my
colleague
at
the
them.
I
think
it
was
the
may
3rd
meeting,
but
dates
are
sort
of
eluding
me
right
now.
There
was
a
discussion
from
the
nevada
association
of
school
boards
related
to
a
set
of
guiding
principles
that
they
were
using
or
a
set
of
standards.
H
I
can
take
the
rest
of
that
offline
yeah.
I
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
paramount
issue
and
I
think
that
trustee
ford
actually
brought
that
up
that
she
didn't
really
feel
like
the
the
fiduciary
issues
that
governance
in
general
was
was
really
laid
out
to
board
members.
So
I
think
that
this
could
be
one
way
that
we
could
really
empower
and
and
set
up
our
board
to
succeed.
So
we
could
talk
more
online,
but
I
think
this
is
definitely
worth
chipping
away
at.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
any
other
members
up
in
carson
any
questions.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
grateful
for
the
opportunity
for
us
all
to
kind
of
have
this
opportunity
to
discuss
and
collaborate
air
our
concerns.
B
Just
for
the
record,
I
was
not
able
to
attend
the
may
3rd
meeting,
but
I
did
watch
it
last
week
and
I
did
go
back
and
watch
ab255
the
bill.
That
was
brought
last
session
that
didn't
really
progress.
But
then
this
study
became
an
outgrowth
of
the
money
tax
bill
so
grateful.
We
can
have
these
discussions
a
few
questions
to
kind
of
pick
up
where
we
just
left
off
on
the
governance
idea.
B
What
it
looks
like
and
I've
had
concerns
there
on
the
record
from
the
get-go
I'm
I
I
don't
support
the
idea
of
appointments.
That
does
not
mean
that
I
don't
think
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement.
I
just,
I
think,
a
lot
of
times.
We
all
have.
We
all
want
the
same
outcomes,
but
we
have
different
ideas:
how
we
get
there.
B
So
one
thing
that
really
struck
me
and
trustee
ford's
comments
that
I
greatly
appreciated
in
public
comment
were
addressing
some
of
the
training
and
I
was
shocked,
as
so
was
my
colleague
sitting
next
to
me
that
the
training,
I
think,
if
I'm
referencing,
right
from
the
help
of
our
wonderful
legal
counsel
here,
mr
killian,
that
nrs
386.327
there's
only
six
hours
of
training
during
the
first
and
the
third
year
and
that
there's
no
practical
penalty
for
failing
to
complete
the
trailing
training
and
the
consequences
are
limited
to
having
the
school
board
member's
name
posted
on
the
on
the
district's
website
and
notifying
the
other
school
board
members
of
the
failure
and
that
training
requirement
wasn't
created
until
2017,
so
not
that
long
ago.
B
B
E
F
This
is
jana
wilcox
11
for
the
record,
I'm
not
sure
we
can
speak
specifically
to
chicago's
motivations
or
any
other
community.
Honestly,
I
think
the
the
key
is.
We
should
really
decide
what
we
want
to
be
true
and
build
a
governance
model
that
works
for
nevada,
and,
if
that
includes
we
would.
Our
recommendation
is
to
include
components
from
these
guiding
principles
that
help
get
us
there
to
ensure
that
students
are
achieving
at
the
rates
that
they
both
want
to,
and
we
we
hope
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to.
B
A
different
side
of
this
than
in
governance
regarding
superintendents,
has
there
been
any
looking
into
you
know?
A
superintendent
literally
is
the
ceo
of
the
district,
at
least
from
my
own
interpersonal.
I
mean
a
business
and
how
governance
is
ceos,
kind
of
lead
and-
and
I
know
the
washoe
county,
ceo
or
superintendent,
has,
I
think,
five
assistant
superintendents.
B
B
I
know
in
washoe
county
we've
spent
the
last
10
years
dealing
with
two
very
controversial
superintendent
issues
that
took
up
a
lot
of
the
time
of
our
of
our
board,
and
I
know
there's
been
complaints
that
the
boards
are
not
dealing
they're
only
about
20
of
the
time
dealing
with
students
and
the
schools
and
they're
caught
up
in
all
this
other
stuff.
Well,
that
was
kind
of
out
of
their
control
when,
when
they're
dealing
with
two
superintendent
turnovers
in
a
relatively
short
period
of
time,
so
did
we
look
at
that
at
all?
B
A
And
what
I
will
recommend,
if
you
have
some
of
these
other
suggestions,
that
we
especially
based
on
the
public
comment
that
we
got
earlier.
We
do
have
an
item
on
the
agenda
that
where
people
can
bring
where
members
can
bring
up
some
of
these
issues.
So
all
right,
let's
go
to
simulman
anderson.
J
Thank
you
and
thank
you
chair
for
the
the
ability
to
ask
the
questions
and
also
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
really
appreciate
the
use
of
the
non-voting
student
member
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
board.
I
have
two
questions
and
I
think
I
know
the
answer
to
one
of
them,
but
not
sure.
The
first
question
I
have,
though,
might
be
a
little
bit
more
legal
legalish.
I
realize
that
the
floor
is
set
by
the
legislature
as
to
how
many
members
can
be
on
a
board.
Does
that?
J
Is
there
any
sort
of
discussion
of
only
bringing
this
question
up
in
clark
and
having
possibly
the
hybrid
idea
being
something
that
clark
has
made
the
decision
to
do
only
in
clark
county
as
opposed
to
having
it
come
to
the
legislature?
I
guess
in
a
nutshell:
why
is
it
coming
to
the
nevada
state
legislature
for
the
entire
state
when
it
feels
like
it?
This
is
a
very
large
clark,
county
issue.
R
For
the
record
magdalena
martinez,
I
will
say
that,
while
most
of
our
stakeholders,
or
rather
coalition
members,
were
from
southern
nevada,
the
deliberation
really
did
focus
on
again
the
principles
that
can
help
guide
statewide.
We
recognize
that
yes,
ccsd
is
the
largest
school
district.
However,
we
are.
We
are
not
the
only
ones
right
that
have
governance
concerns
as
we've
heard
today.
So
that
is
something
I
think
that
is
a
great
suggestion.
There's
opt-in,
based
on
population
numbers
student
numbers.
A
And
this
is
senator,
dennis
I'm
going
to
have
our
legal
person,
mr
killian
kind
of
weigh
in
just
on
that
issue.
Is
there
the
ability
for
us
to
do
something
for
just
one
versus
everyone?
One
count
one
school
district
versus
all.
E
Thank
you,
mr
asher
killian
committee
council.
So
under
existing
law,
there
are
multiple
different
divisions
for
the
governance
models
of
the
different
county
school
districts
based
on
the
population
size
of
the
the
county
that
contains
the
school
district.
E
There
are,
I
believe,
seven
members
in
the
two
largest
counties
and
five
members
with
the
option
of
additional
members
in
some
of
the
smaller
counties.
The
way
that
those
members
are
broken
up
are
different
in
the
largest
counties
in
the
state.
It's
seven
districts
that
are
as
nearly
equal
as
possible
and
the
next
smallest
county
size
in
the
state.
It's
five
members
in
relatively
equal
districts
and
then
two
members
from
districts
that
are
each
roughly
half
of
the
entire
county.
E
So
the
legislature
does
have
the
power
to
make
distinctions
between
school
districts
based
on
the
size.
The
the
population
count
in
the
underlying
counties,
so
using
that
same
model
to
just
revise
those
distinctions
or
revise.
What's
provided
in
each
of
those
different
population
sizes
is
within
the
legislature's
power.
A
Okay,
yes,
go
ahead.
G
J
Just
to
clarify,
though
the
legislature
can
set
the
number,
but
can
a
school
district
on
their
own,
a
school
board
on
their
own,
make
a
decision
to
expand
on
their
own
without
coming
to
the
legislature.
Can
they
make
a
decision?
Yes,
we
are
allowed
only
seven,
but
we
want
to
expand
it
to
11..
Are
they
able
to
do
that
or
do
they
need
to
come
to
the
legislature
for
permission.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council.
Ultimately,
yes,
they
would
need
to
come
to
the
legislature
for
permission,
because
the
legislature
has
established
the
laws
that
prescribe
the
sizes.
The
legislature
has
also
prescribed
a
mechanism
where
certain
smaller
districts
can
come
and
ask
for
additional
trustees
or
ask
to
change
the
districts
from
which
those
trustees
are
elected
from
at
large
to
divisions
of
the
underlying
district.
A
Just
to
follow
up
mr
killian,
the
legislature
could
put
a
trigger
that
where
they
wouldn't
have
to
come,
but
that
if
they
reached
a
certain
population
or
whatever,
they
could
automatically
then
vote
to
to
expand
themselves.
Is
that
something
that
it's
an
option.
E
D
Thank
you,
chair
dennis.
I
was
just
wondering
what
was
suggested
on
who
would
appoint
these
extra
two
members?
Would
it
be
the
governor,
the
legislature.
F
This
is
janet
wilcox
11
for
the
record.
We
discussed
different
opportunities
for
representation
and
clearly
noting
we
heard
from
assemblywoman
thomas
said.
F
Obviously,
there
are
some
communities
that
may
be
underrepresented,
so
while
there
wasn't
a
hard
and
fast
proposal
and
again
because
this
really
was
a
framework
of
principles
and
not
a
not
a
thorough
plan,
because
we
felt
that
the
thorough
plan
would
be
discussed
and
deliberated
among
a
broader
group
of
stakeholders,
including
all
of
you
and
everyone,
in
the
room
that
looking
to
local
communities
and
other
geographic
boundaries
that
might
work
given,
that
were
county-wide
school
districts.
F
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
do
and
don't
make
me
regret
this,
because
I
want
to
get
input
and
if
you
they
have
given
a
specific
recommendation
for
a
framework,
if
there's
anyone
that
has
a
question
concerning
that
framework,
I'm
going
to
allow
like
20
seconds
to
ask
a
question,
but
this
isn't
an
opportunity
to
go
on
and
give
a
big
speech
about
how
you
don't
like
something:
that's
not
what
I'm
asking
here.
A
What
I'm
saying
is
if
you
heard
something-
and
you
have
a
question
on
how
that
would
be
implemented,
or
I
will
allow
that,
and
so,
if
that's
the
case,
do
we
have
anybody
here?
Raise
your
hand
if
you
have
a
question:
okay,
I've
got.
I
see
three
individuals
just
come
up
one
at
a
time,
because
they'll
they'll
need
to
answer
that
question,
so
you
could
stay
there
just
allow
one
space
for
for
somebody
to
come
up.
A
A
Right
just
keep
in
mind,
we
don't
normally
do
this
well,
thank
you,
but
but
I'm
really
trying
to
get
some
input
here,
because
these
are
some
new
ideas
and
and
we
don't
always
get
an
opportunity
to
so
go
ahead
and
make
sure
you
identify
yourself
for
the
record
william.
K
Graham
carter,
again,
I'm
probably
the
oldest
guy
in
the
room.
I've
noticed
in
people
who
help
who
are
on
school
boards
and
so
forth.
There's
two
kinds
of
people
and
one
is
a
person
who
generally
wants
to
help
the
other
is
narcissistic
to
control.
Frequently.
A
K
A
question
my
question
is:
did
you
did
you
explore
the
legislature
coming
up
with
conduct
parameters
for
the
for
the
elected
officials?
Was
that
taken
into
consideration
some
kind
of,
and
also
applying
the
things,
the
training
and
so
forth
to
the
elected
school
board
members?
So,
okay,
without
throwing
them
not
throwing
the
baby
out
with
the
bathwater.
F
This
is
jana
wilcox
11
for
the
record.
I
think
we
contemplated
that
the
training
would
be
applicable
regardless
of
the
governance
model
or
selection
approach,
so
that
there
was
opportunity
to
consider
that,
broadly
in
whatever
governance
model
was
ultimately
selected
by
the
legislature.
D
R
Magdalena
martinez,
for
the
record,
this
was
not
necessarily
a
research
project,
and
I
I
hope
I
perhaps
I
didn't
make
that
clear
enough.
This
was
a
deliberative
process
by
a
group
of
coalition
members
and
the
lindsay
institute.
One
of
our
roles
is
to
help
facilitate
those
conversations.
M
F
Sorry
this
is
jana
wilcox
lab
and
for
record
we
didn't
consider
any
specific
training.
The
training
I
was
referencing
was
presented
at
the
may
3rd
meeting
by,
I
think
the
nevada
association
of
school
boards
who
had
a
set
of
standards
that
they
used
for
their
training.
That's
what
I
was
referencing.
M
The
reason
that
I'm
asking
that
is
because
in
the
may
3rd
minutes,
looking
at
my
notes-
and
I
had
to
leave
that
meeting
early,
so
I
apologize
if
I
get
any
of
this
wrong,
but
I
believe
that
at
the
time
executive,
director
deb
oliver
referred
to
silver
state
governance
and
some
of
the
success
they
had,
it
sounded
very
similar
to
what
was
being
proposed
today.
As
far
as
the
consistency.
M
So
that's
that's
where
the
kind
of
the
initiative
was
to
ask
that
question.
So
you're
saying
that
was
not
specifically
designed
to
be
silver
state
governance.
F
Sorry,
janet
wilcox
may
ask
a
clarifying
question
chair.
Yes,
go
ahead!
Okay,
thank
you
when
sorry,
when
you
are
asking
the
question
about
consistency,
can
you
just
clarify
for
me.
M
F
I
think
the
the
three
components
of
the
guiding
principles
being
representation,
qualifications
and
training
and
accountability,
and
that
there
being
consist
potential,
consistent
application
across
the
state
aligned
to
a
set
of
standards
or
set
of
beliefs
that
the
community
decides
are
right
for
kids
and
aligned
to
a
governance
model.
So
I
don't
know,
I
know,
of
the
silver
state
governance
training
I,
but
when
we
were
referencing
training,
we
were
asking
specific.
I
think
the
question
was
specifically
related
to
how
might
training
be
deployed
in
a
consistent
manner
and
so
leveraging.
F
M
Thank
you
so
much
that
answers
my
question.
Possibly,
I
might
be
able
to
speak
with
you
more
offline,
so
thank
you
very
much.
H
Camila
bywater
is
president
of
the
las
vegas
alliance
of
black
school
educators
co-chair
for
education
for
the
national
action
network.
What
is
the
plan
or
strategy
to
include
a
more
diverse
black
indigenous
people
of
color
as
a
part
of
this
coalition
team
to
expand
the
perspective
of
the
framework.
A
Oh,
you
gotta
push
the
button.
J
F
Ultimately,
I
believe
that
decision
would
be
up
to
the
legislature,
but
I
imagine
the
the
discussions
we
had
with
our
coalition
as
it
stands
now,
and
hopefully
it
will
continue
to
expand,
talked
about
similar
terms,
as
the
current
elected
terms,
and
also
one
thing
we
had
discussed,
which
didn't
show
up
today,
was
the
idea
that
there
could
be
an
opportunity
to
use
a
trigger,
as
the
chair
suggested,
to
actually
pause
appointments
at
some
period
and
reflect
on
whether
or
not
they
met
actually
met
the
targets.
F
O
Implemented
or
asked
the
districts
to
implement
the
family
life
committee
to
evaluate
health
education
courses,
the
members
are
nine
members,
the
legis.
The
statute
also
defines
what
kind
of
members
has
the
coalition
examined
in
the
cases
where
we
have
specific
numbers,
specific
constituents
have
they
been
really
successful
and
by
the
way
the
family
life
committee
includes
a
student
rep
and
a
teacher
rep
all
the
things
that
are
being
discussed
so
has
the
coalition
evaluated
prior
implementation
of
similar
process
and
procedures?
F
I'll,
just
this
is
janet
wilcox
11
for
the
record,
I
would
say
the
the
primary
focus
that
we
looked
at
for
existing
examples
in
the
state
was
the
state
board
of
education
which
did
go
through
a
transition
and
has
demonstrated
improved
effectiveness.
B
To
you
speak
generally
of
training,
I
think
you
described
12
hours
of
it.
Can
you
tell
me
just
in
summary,
what
the
components
of
the
training.
R
For
the
record,
magdalena
martinez,
I
don't
believe
we
identified
specific
hours
of
training
and
the
coalition
did
not
discuss
specific
in
the
weeds
type
of
training.
We
believe
that
those
are
the
type
of
discussions
that
need
to
be
had
with
specific
stakeholders
and
broader
stakeholders,
because
particularly
teachers
and
educators,
so
we
did
not
discuss
specific
type
of
trainings
or
hours
of
training.
R
R
A
Second,
sorry,
so
I'm
sorry,
I
think
what
she's
saying
is
that
I
mean
that's
a
very
good
question
and
that's
one
that
we'll
definitely
put
in
the
notes.
So,
as
the
legislature
moves
forward,
we
can
have
that
discussion.
Okay,
because
that
is,
you
know,
a
very
valid
question.
J
Yes,
this
is
michelle
mcphee,
and
I
heard
you
a
moment
ago.
I
think
it
was
you
jenna
wilcox,
saying
that
there
would
be
standards
chosen
by
the
community
and
I'm
wondering
just
what
community
you
are
referring
to
if
it's
to
the
community
of
parents
choosing
the
standards
or
if
it's
a
community
to
of
the
legislature
or
just
what
that
community
was.
F
Sure,
thanks
for
the
question,
jana
wilcox
11
for
the
record,
so
I
don't
have
any
decision-making
authority
on
any
of
any
sort
of
these
standards.
The
only
thing
I
was
referencing
is
that
there
are
existing
standards
that
were
presented
by
the
nevada
association
of
school
boards
to
be
considered
that
they
believed
demonstrated
standards
for
effective
governance,
and
that
was
what
we
had
discussed.
So
I
think
these
ongoing
discussions
would
be
where
those
conversations
would
happen.
H
Hi
good
evening,
erica
dungare
speaking
as
an
individual,
I
saw
the
list
of
members
that
would
consist
of
this
committee.
But
nowhere
did
I
see
any
presentation
of
my
community,
especially
for
what
I
do
when
I
work
at
the
clark
county
school
district
as
a
paraprofessional,
and
are
we
going
to
be
part
of
this
conversation
or
this
community,
and
only
that
I
didn't
see
is
also
is
a
special
education,
because
that's
what
we
consist
of
so
are
we
also
part
of
this
community?
If
it
is
a
conversation.
F
Sure
this
is
janet
wilcox
laban,
for
the
record,
I
think,
there's.
I
think
what
we've
tried
to
convey
here
today
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
more
voices
and
there
should
be
more
voices
in
the
discussion
related
to
any
decisions
and
that
what
we
were
bringing
forward
was
a
platform
and
a
framework
to
begin
a
conversation
where
more
voices
could
be
a
part
of
the
just
ongoing
discussion
for
any
before
any
decisions
were
made.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
before
I
close
up
just,
let
me
double
check
bps.
Do
we
have
anybody
that's
online,
which
is
to
ask
a
question.
A
T
Senator
dennis
thank
you
for
saving
us
for
prime
time.
T
T
No,
these
issues
instead
are
the
result
of
larger
societal
problems
and
the
continuing
failure
of
state
leadership
to
truly
prioritize
public
education.
Appointing
school
board
members
will
not
address
these
issues.
School
board.
Members
are
on
the
front
line
of
elected
officials.
You
got
a
taste
of
it
this
evening,
but
they
are
regularly
subjected
to
the
kind
of
public
comment
that
we
heard
earlier
tonight
and
many
school
board
members
have
had
their
safety
threatened
after
resigning
from
the
washoe
county
school
board.
Former
trustee
kurt
thigpen
wrote
this,
I
believe
was
in
reno.
T
T
T
T
T
However,
hearing
during
public
comment
and
messaging,
some
of
my
friends
apparently
at
least
two
of
the
seven
listed
coalition
members
have
stated
they
don't
have
a
position
on
elected
versus
appointed
or
hybrid
school
boards.
Let
me
put
it
another
way
more
than
a
quarter
of
the
coalition
that
you
just
heard
from
advocating
hybrid
school
boards,
don't
support
hybrid
school
boards.
T
Meanwhile,
there's
no
evidence
that
appointed
school
boards
or
hybrid
school
boards
improve
education,
quality
or
student
outcomes,
and
none
was
presented
in
the
may
hearing,
and
none
this
evening
with
that
said,
nsca
does
appreciate
this
opportunity
to.
Can
you
continue
our
engagement
in
the
conversation
about
school
board
composition,
we
believe
nevada
can
improve
the
professionalism,
collaboration,
accountability
and
responsiveness
of
school
boards,
adding
educator
voice,
which
is
sorely
missing,
while
also
preserving
school
boards
as
democratically
elected
bodies.
H
H
Educators
with
the
national
education
association
have
played
a
key
role
supporting
voting
rights
from
past
nea
president,
armand
williams
effort
to
get
tennessee
to
ratify
the
19th
amendment
in
1920
to
students
affiliated
with
the
california
teachers
association,
who
started
a
campaign
to
extend
the
vote
to
the
18
year
olds.
Back
in
1967,
we
believe,
participating
in
the
cornerstone
of
democracy
and
locally
elected
school
boards,
represent
the
american
institute
that
comes
closest
to
the
ideals
of
local
self-governance.
H
Local
school
boards
are
in
place
to
ensure
that
schools
in
each
community
reflect
the
values
of
the
people.
School
boards
provide
direction
and
oversight
for
the
superintendent
who
manages
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
schools.
They
set
policies
for
the
district
and
approve
budgets.
They
also
provide
direct
accountability
to
the
community.
H
They
are
presented
to
us
with
big
bows
and
the
fix
all,
but
as
an
educator,
I
was
able
to
ask
questions
about
implementation
and
what
I
found
is
most
prep
programs
affected
the
cost
of
the
district
for
more
money
for
extra
staffing
and
took
away
from
what
the
state
mandated
curriculum
was
already
being
taught
in
our
classrooms,
making
it
harder
for
our
teachers
to
implement
and
for
what
meeting.
The
children's
needs
allowing
active
educators
to
serve
in
school
district
governance
will
improve
school
boards
in
nevada.
H
H
H
J
Chair
dennis
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
lisa
guzman
and
I
am
the
assistant
executive
director
for
the
nevada
state
education
association,
full
disclosure.
I
am
also
the
trustee
for
district,
a
in
the
clark
county
school
district.
I
am
not
representing
the
clark
county
school
district
at
all
during
these
proceedings.
I
am
just
the
assistant
executive
director
for
nevada
state
education
association,
and
I
want
you
to
know
that,
like
other
institutions,
there
are
times
when
school
boards
do
not
live
up
to
public
expectations.
J
J
This
is
truer
still
when
the
appointment
is
made
by
another
deliberative
body.
Democracy
can
be
messy,
money
can
have
a
substantial
influence
on
elections,
and
sometimes
campaigns
are
negative
and
turn
off.
Voters
or
you
can
be
harassed
and
have
to
move
from
your
home,
like
I
did
when
I
first
was
elected
trustee
or
you
could
have
a
typical
election
like
I
just
experienced
for
sd-12
oftentimes,
our
preferred
candidates
do
not
win
in
recent
years.
School
boards
have
become
a
focal
point
for
a
political
faction
looking
to
score
cheap
points,
with
campaigns.
J
While
these
challenges
are
real,
they
are
certainly
not
enough
to
abandon
our
system
of
democratic
governance.
Instead,
nevada
has
implemented
reforms
over
the
years
to
increase
voter
participation
and
make
elections
more
democratic.
We
believe
school
boards
would
benefit
from
greater
democracy
and
and
participation.
E
Thank
you,
alexander
marks
for
the
record,
while
democratically
elected
school
boards
do
bring
the
greatest
accountability
of
responsiveness
to
the
communities
they
serve.
We
do
agree
that
there
should
be
more
done
in
the
face
of
political
attacks,
which
we've
seen
here
tonight
to
increase
levels
of
professionalism
and
collaboration
at
school
boards,
also
bringing
greater
accountability.
So
we
have
a
list
of
great
things
we
can
do
long
before
we
eliminate
the
democratic
process
of
voting,
some
of
which
we've
already
heard.
E
So
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
everyone
in
detail,
but
first
obviously
allowing
educators
to
serve
on
their
school
boards
who
are
excluded.
That
would
add
a
critical
missing
perspective
to
governance,
increasing
professionalism
and
bringing
day-to-day
experience
to
the
board.
The
addition
of
advisory
seats
could
bring
more
breadth
of
diversity
to
perspective
to
local
school
boards,
including
adding
important
education
stakeholders
like
students
and
representatives
of
the
pta
paraprofessionals,
etc.
E
Instituting
regular
rotation
of
school
board
presidents
would
also
lead
to
more
corroboration
collaboration.
Excuse
me
between
school
board
trustees
and
decreased
factionalism
on
the
boards,
possibly
limiting
the
superintendent
contracts
to
sue
two
years
similar
to
the
bargaining
contracts
time
to
seating.
The
new
school
board
members
after
elections
would
make
superintendents
more
accountable
to
the
seated
boards
and
lead
to
better
working
relationships.
E
Compensation,
we've
already
discussed,
but
compensation
of
trustees
that
better
reflects
responsibility
would
lead
to
more
qualified
and
more
professional
school
boards
and
candidates,
rather
elevating
the
ballot
placement
of
school
board.
Races
would
also
lead
to
greater
participation
that
wouldn't
be
buried
at
the
bottom.
E
This
is
a
great
example
of
what
most
ccsd
meetings
have
been
like
over
the
last
two
years,
but
to
suggest
that
one
solution
is
to
point
all
of
you
would
not
solve
any
of
the
issues
we've
seen
tonight
and
we
would
also
stand
in
opposition
of
that
proposal
as
well.
This
is
just
a
glimpse
of
what
we've
been
dealing
with
at
the
local
level.
E
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
very
much.
So
you've
members
questions.
B
Chair
dennis
assemblywoman
hanson,
I
have
a
question.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
looked
out
the
window
and
pigs
are
flying.
Mr
daley
and
assemblywoman
hanson
are
in
agreement,
and
that
doesn't
happen
very
often,
so
I
appreciated
the
presentation.
I
have
one
question.
If
I
I
know
you've
listed
several
concerns.
What
is
your
number
one
concern
with
the
idea
of
appointment.
T
Thank
you
assembly,
member
chris
daley
nevada,
state
education,
association.
First
to
your
opening
observation
of
pigs.
Flying
talk
to
senator
hansen,
often
times
there
are
odd
points
of
agreement
between
the
two
of
us
in
terms
of
biggest
concern,
I
think
is
that
it
is
an
idea
or
would
be
a
move
that
would
not
solve
the
issues
that
schools
are
facing.
T
T
I'd
love
to
see
language
in
a
bill
making
this
committee
do
a
series
of
hearings
to
address
that
to
take
that
on
I'm
looking
here
at
assembly
member
miller,
I
know,
has
the
teacher
recruitment
and
retention
task
force
work
that
she's
done,
which
is
incredibly
important,
but
I'd
like
to
see
more
attention
on
that.
To
me,
this
just
seems
like
more
of
a
distraction,
and
I
think
you
know
what
we
saw
earlier
tonight.
T
Senator
dennis
was
doing
his
best
job
to
move
this
meeting
forward,
but
at
a
certain
point
it
didn't
really
seem
like
the
meeting
was
getting
anywhere
and
that's
the
dynamic
at
school
boards
appointing
school
board.
Members
doesn't
change
that
dynamic.
T
Its
net
effect
really
is
just
to
limit
the
accountability
mechanisms
that
the
public
has
to
their
board
of
directors.
So
nsca
would
not
say
that
we
think
school
boards
are
working
perfectly
at
the
moment
we
think
they're
not.
T
However,
we
think
this
proposal
for
a
hybrid
form
of
governance
does
nothing
to
address
all
of
the
issues
that
school
boards
are
facing.
It
just
changes
the
people
out.
It
came
up
in
the
may
hearing-
I'm
not
I
didn't.
I
was
in
las
vegas
and
I'm
not
sure
I
some
remember
if
you
were
videoing
in
because
I
don't
think
that
we
did
video
or
fewer
in
las
vegas.
But
there
was
this
interesting
kind
of
notion.
T
T
You
know
lots
of
problems
and
lots
of
difficulties
if,
in
terms
of
governance,
folks
are
just
changing
governance
because
they
don't
know
what
else
to
do
to
address
or
fix
the
problems
in
the
public
education
system,
and
so
you
know
we're
here
with
elected
school
boards,
talking
about
moving
to
appointed
or
hybrid
they're
there
with
appointed
school
boards
talking
about
moving
to
elected.
I
think
it's
just
the
urge
to
do
something
or
anything,
but
it's
not
going
to
address
the
root
causes.
T
B
And
chair,
if
I
could
just
quickly
follow
up,
thank
you,
mr
daley.
Actually,
that
that
was
a
it
was.
I
really
appreciated
the
answer
and
you're
being
forthright
about
that,
and
you
know
this
is
what
happens
sometimes,
where
we
do
come
together
and
and
have
understanding
with
sometimes
people
or
positions
that
we
don't
really
ever
think
would
happen,
and
so
and
it
happens
because
we
have
dialogue
and
and
the
chair.
B
I
if
I
could
just
take
an
indulgence
and
thank
you
so
much
for
giving
us
this-
the
latitude
that
you
have
given
for
the
may
3rd
meeting
and
the
way
it
was
conducted
and
allowing
the
public
to
ask
questions.
That's
really
unusual.
We
don't
usually
do
that.
The
way
the
legislature
runs
and
and
and
just
being,
we
don't
always
agree
either,
but
you're
always
so
respectful
and
I've
appreciated
your
leadership
and
it's
an
honor
to
be
a
part
of
this
process.
B
A
Thank
you,
I
believe
senator
buck
has
a
question
and
then
simone
thomas.
D
F
H
H
I
don't
do
we
have
a
support,
we
don't
have
a
position
any
farther
than
that.
We've
seen
both
dynamics
when
we
had
a
state
appointed
they
answered
to
the
public
or
when
we
hadn't
elected,
and
I
did
find
that
to
be
a
better
answer
for
it.
A
Just
so
I
could
clarification
here,
real
quick,
I
don't
believe
we
had
a
state
elected
unless
it
was
many
many
years
ago.
Are
you
talking
more
than
50
years
back
or
because
we
can?
We
could
should
get
that
just
to
just
so
that
we
can
get
that
clarified
at
some
point,
but
I
know
we
used
to
have
a
superintendent
that
wasn't
appointed
by
the
governor
but
was
actually
appointed
by
the
state
board
of
ed.
H
Obviously,
we'll
have
to
look
because
I
believe
that
my
first
signature
is
by
when
I
elected,
but.
A
F
That
was
it
really
chair
dennis.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
All
right,
someone
thomas.
P
P
It
has
not
been
that
controlled
and
I
appreciate
chair
dennis
taking
control
of
his
meeting.
P
My
question,
though
I
you
know,
I
believe
that
if
you
have
and
angst
you
should
have
a
solution
to
a
problem
and
we're
seeing
that
the
problem
with
our
school
board
right
now
is
chaos
and
that's
no
way
to
run
a
business,
because
our
educational
system
is
a
business
and
unfortunately,.
P
P
T
Go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Chair
dennis
chris
daley
nevada,
state
education,
association
to
assembly
member
thomas
in
our
may
exhibit,
and
then
mr
mark's,
in
his
presentation
we
listed,
I
think,
eight
or
nine
bullet
points
of
items
several
of
them
included
in
lcb's
presentation
to
you
earlier
this
evening
that
we
believe
would
help
our
number
one
proposal
is
to
end
the
ban
on
educator
participation
in
their
school
district
governance.
T
Now
this
we
know
for
a
fact
that
educators
used
to
be
allowed
to
run
for
and
serve
on
their
school
district
boards
of
trustees,
I'm
not
sure
the
year
that
the
restriction
was
put
into
place,
but
many
states
around
the
country
and
many
school
districts
around
the
country,
educators
are
able
to
serve
on
their
school
boards.
T
There
may
be
times
where
there
are
conflicts
and
there
needs
to
be
recusals
on
votes,
but
as
former
trustee
and
active
classroom
educator
don
echeverry
mentioned
in
in
her
comment,
educators
bring
a
perspective,
that's
important,
perhaps
sometimes
assemblymember
thomas.
You
may
see
your
colleague
to
your
left,
engage
on
an
issue
and
think
about
something
in
a
certain
way
that,
like
you
or
I,
as
folks
that
aren't
actively
in
the
classroom,
might
not
have
thought
of
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
I
think
we're
thinking
about.
Also
oftentimes.
T
You
know
their
teacher
voice
and
their
teacher
presence
into
the
school
board,
which
is
a
professionalizing
impact
on
that
board,
and
so
we
think
that
that
one
change
also
educators,
oftentimes
win
school
board
races
when
they
run
for
school
boards.
So
we
think
that
one
change
alone
could
actually
have
a
pretty
dramatic
impact
on
improving
the
boards
in
terms
of
representation.
T
You
know
I'm
very
aware,
for
example,
that
the
clark
county
school
board
of
trustees
currently
does
not
have
the
representation
from
several
communities,
including
the
african-american
community,
that
is,
it
has
had
in
the
past.
That
is
an
issue,
and
I
think
that
there
are
two
ways
to
address
it.
One
is
an
intentional
electoral
coalition
way
to
address
it
in
order
to
look
at
the
races
look
at
the
candidates
in
terms
of
candidate
recruitment
and
training
in
running
elections.
T
P
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
detail
because
those
are
valid
points
and
that's
what
our
communities
are
lacking
representation
so
do
assembly
one
a
woman,
hanson
pigs
are
flying.
No
birds
are
not
real.
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
all
right.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
So
once
again
I'm
gonna
allow
questions,
but
I
I
I
want
to
limit
the
questions
to
the
suggestions
that
they
made.
You
know
there
was
some
commentary.
I
don't
we
don't
need
to
ask
questions
about
the
commentary,
but
the
the
specific
suggestions
that
they
made.
A
O
A
And
close
out
item
number
four:
we'll
go
to
item
number
five.
I
want
to
open
this
up
to
our
members
any
additional
discussions
concerning
composition,
selection
and
school
boards
that
we
have
not
addressed
that.
You
would
like
to
see
addressed
I'll
look
here
in
carson
city,
not
seeing
any
hands.
E
A
Okay,
how
about
all
any
of
our
members
online
do
any
questions.
A
Okay,
all
right-
and
I
I
will
also,
if
there's
any
from
the
public,
if
there's
any
additional
items
that
we
have
not
covered,
that
you
think
should
be
addressed.
O
A
E
My
name
is
jay
croudok,
my
of
a
son
11
years
old
attends
a
school
here
in
clark
county.
I
went
through
the
clark
county
school
district
mountain
view,
elementary
school
edmonton,
junior
high
school
el
dorado
high
school.
I
went
on
to
graduate
from
columbia
university
and
I
got
my
master's
degree
at
unlv.
E
So
it's
it's
a
matter
of
finding
the
number
of
school
board
trustees
that
we
need
to
cover
all
of
the
different
communities
in
the
valley,
maybe
11.
Maybe
we
need
to
also
increase
the
number
of
county
commissioners,
but
we're
not
getting
enough
voices
out
there
for
it
to
be
made
into
a
reasonable
discussion.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you
and
we
did
have
some
of
those
were
on
the
suggestion.
So
we
appreciate
you
just
telling
us
what
you
had
go
ahead.
F
Thank
you,
chair
committee.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
tonight.
You
know
a
few
years
back.
I
was
the
super
angry
frustrated
parent
who
started
showing
up
anywhere
and
everywhere
screaming
and
yelling
and
very
mad.
F
As
many
know,
I'm
a
mom
to
special
needs
sons
and
when
this
district
continued
to
keep
schools
closed,
I
was
one
of
the
first
people
to
hit
the
pavement
with
my
sign
and
my
son
in
my
heart
begging
for
schools
to
reopen,
and
in
the
months
that
ensued,
I
didn't
like
any
of
the
trustees.
I
definitely
didn't
like
the
superintendent.
I
did
not
really
like
a
single
elected
official.
F
I
made
that
very
known,
but
but
what
I
really
came
to
realize
was
I
really
wanted
to
help.
I
wasn't,
I
guess
just
never
had
really
had
to
say
so
much
out
loud
about
how
frustrated
I
was
for
my
children
and
over
the
last
couple
years.
F
I
just
woke
up
one
day
and
I
was
like
well,
you
know
I
can
stand
here
and
keep
yelling,
but
it's
not
going
to
get
anything
done.
So
how
can
I
help?
So?
What
did
I
do?
I
turned
it
around
and
I
started
helping
and
I
spend
every
hour
of
every
day
helping
our
community
in
going
from
that
frustration
to
where
I've
worked.
F
So
I'm
speaking
because
I
think
I'm
a
prime
example
of
where
an
appointment
works,
because
I
think
everyone
who
knows
me
or
knows
anything
about
me
knows
that
I
really
only
have
the
children's
interests
at
heart
and
are
in
our
community,
all
of
them
every
single
one.
I
volunteer
in
schools
that
are
30
40
minutes
away
from
my
home
and
I
still
have
four
kids
in
this
district
and
my
my
youngest
is
just
started
first
grade.
So
what
I
know,
though,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
that
there's
things
that
you
know.
F
Obviously
I
go
to
every
single
school
board.
Meeting.
Okay,
I
missed
one
last
month,
there's
more
than
just
what
you
see
going
on
there.
There's.
A
F
Public
comments,
rules
and
rules
and
rules
and
rules
and
rules
and
a
lot
of
those
rules
prevent
the
very
people
from
doing
the
jobs
that
we
expect
them
to
do,
whether
you
say
that's
the
trustees
or
the
superintendent
and
and
we
do
have
to
fix
it.
The
number
one
idea
I
did
like
was
the
elected
superintendent
and
I
actually
went
back
and
wikipedia
did
the
law
changed
in
2013.?
F
So
I
guess
my
overall
question
is
is
like
tonight.
There
was
so
much
highlighted
to
me
on
on
the
surface
level
of
our
issues
and
our
problems.
F
How
can
I
help
you
guys
dig
a
little
deeper
than
that,
because
the
problems
are
just
under
the
surface
and
we're
skating
kind
of
all
around
them,
and
I
can
definitely
get
really
more
particular
on
offline,
but
I
can
show
you
many
many
ways
why
the
system
is
not
working.
The
way
that
it
is
so
I
guess
my
question
is,
is
how
can
I
know
I
have
your
attention
right
now,
but
how
can
I
keep
your
attention
to
show
you
those
failures.
A
So
and
actually
would
you
identify
yourself
one
more
time
just
to.
A
So
what
I
would
suggest
actually
a
couple
things
here:
one
is
that
continue
to
be
involved
in
these
meetings
and
as
this
progresses,
it's
going
to
go
to
the
legislature,
keep
an
eye
on
it
there
and
any
other
meetings
that
come
up.
You
know
nothing
will
be
voted
on.
A
It
has
to
be
voted
during
the
legislature,
but
you
know
right
now
is
the
opportunity
to
give
your
suggestions
if
there's
specific
things,
and
you
can
also
send
them
in
you-
don't
have
to
do
it
all
tonight
and
that's
for
anybody
that
wants
to
do
that.
A
So
that
would
be
my
suggestion
is,
you
know,
continue
to
stay
in
involved
and
listening
and
and
then,
when
you
have
opportunities
to
give
suggestions
and
also
to
work
with
your
elected
legislators,
because
you
know
they
they're
looking
for
opportunities
to
to
make
education
better
and
work
on
all
those
kinds
of
changes.
F
I'm
just
concerned
because
we
only
have
one
more
of
these
before
we
head
into
next
year.
So
time
is
closing
before
we
hit
the
floor
next
year
and
that's
very
concerning.
A
And
and
once
again,
your
name
for
the
record.
A
You
you
also
have
opportunity
to
talk
to
your
legislators
so
that
not
just
in
the
meeting
so
one
other
thing,
because
you
brought
it
up
again.
I
believe
that
our
legal
person,
mr
killian,
actually
has
an
answer
for
the
elected
superintendent.
So
just
so,
we
get
that
on
the
record.
I
want
him
to
to
address
that.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair
asher,
killian
community
council.
So
there
are
two
separate
changes
from
elected
to
appointed.
The
first
is
that,
roughly
from
statehood
to
1956,
there
were
county
superintendents
which
were
elected
and
then
in
the
eighth
special
session
in
1956,
elected
county
superintendents
were
abolished
in
favor
of
elected
in
favor,
of
making
school
districts
co-terminus
with
county
boundaries
and
having
elected
school
boards,
and
the
district
superintendents
became
appointed
at
that
time.
E
A
Thank
you
so
there
you
have
it
appreciate
that
I
think
that's
good
to
get
that
on
the
record.
Okay,
anybody
else
wishing
to
ask
any
questions
here:
how
about
up
in
carson
city?
Do
we
have
anybody
coming
up.
A
K
This
question
is
for
mr
killian:
what
would
it.
A
So
so
I
know
mr
killing
is
going
to
answer
that,
but-
and
the
question
actually
goes
to
me
and
then
I
asked
mr
killian
to
answer,
and
so
I
believe
that
that's
a
valid
question.
Mr
killian,
you
want
to
explain
that
process.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
astrid
killian
community
council.
So
since
the
school
districts
are
creations
of
the
state
legislature
and
the
state
legislature
has
made
the
decision
to
have
those
positions
currently
be
appointed
rather
than
elected,
all
it
would
take
would
be
a
bill
by
the
state
legislature
to
convert
those
positions
from
appointed
back
to
elected
as
they
were
when
they
were
originally
created
by
the
territorial
legislature.
Back
in
1864.
A
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
item
number
five,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
that
has
given
suggestions
asked
questions.
I
think
this
will
be
helpful
as
whatever
things
and
actually
multiple
things
could
move
forward
to
the
legislature.
A
A
All
right,
just
the
just
a
reminder:
you
have
three
minutes
so
and
if
it's
something
that's
already
been
said,
it's
okay
to
just
say,
ditto
and.
O
And
because
I.
A
Know
it's
getting
late
and
I
don't.
I
appreciate
those
that
have
that
have
been
here
this
evening.
So
go
ahead.
Let's
see
why
don't
I
didn't
see
what
order
you
came
up
and
let's
just
start
to
the
person
on
and
be
to
the
left
as
you're
facing
the
ds.
I
believe
the
person
with
the
hat
go
ahead.
O
Yes,
person
with
the
hat
pepsi
strasbourg,
I
appreciate
chair
dennis
for
giving
us
this
opportunity.
Today.
It
was
a
very
well
in
the
run
meeting
and
something
that
the
carson
city
school
board
would
learn
from
if
they
were
here.
Unfortunately,
they
had
a
meeting
tonight
as
well.
O
I
really
would
urge
the
committee
to
look
at
the
private
sector.
The
private
sector
has
a
chairman
of
the
board
and
a
group
of
people
that
advises
on
various
things,
and
then
we
have
the
president,
the
ceo
and
that
model
has
worked.
You
look
at
what
apple
has
done.
They
have
a
chairman
of
the
board
advisory
board,
audit
committees
etc,
which
are
advisory
to
the
chairman
of
the
board
and
his
cohorts.
O
The
ceo
is
the
superintendent
and
he
needs
to
drive
the
results
and
be
accountable
for
the
data-driven
metrics
that
the
school
board
should
insist
that
he
has,
and
he
should
the
school
board
should,
and
I
like
the
idea
of
a
rotating
term
for
the
superintendent,
because
it
keeps
that
position
fresh
and
eager
to
learn
from
best
practices.
Thank
you.
J
My
name
is
marianne
humphrey
and
I
again
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
experience
and
be
a
part
of
all.
This
has
been
very
enlightening.
I
started
going
to
school
board
meetings.
Last
fall.
It
was
a
big
eye-opener
for
me,
part
of
the
reason
I
see
being
an
older
person.
J
I
bring
a
lot
of
experience
as
far
as
what
my
own
life
entailed
going
up
during
the
60s
and
70s,
and
that
was
not
a
very
fun
time
to
grow
up
in
a
major
city
of
san
francisco
anyway.
Beside
that,
I
maybe
there's
problems
with
school
boards
and
parents,
because
I
know
from
my
own
experience,
observing
and
speaking
school
board.
People
do
not
listen.
You
have
school
board.
Members
that
sit
there
and
have
dopey
looks
on
their
face.
They
stare
in
space.
J
They
write
down
messages,
so
you
as
a
parent
grandparent
concerned
citizen
go
there
and
you
want
to
express
your
concerns.
We
went
through
the
covet
vaccines,
the
masks
we
had
doctors
speak
and
they
just
went
their
own
way
and
did
what
they
wanted.
Then
we
have
all
the
garbage
in
the
entert
in
in
education.
J
We'd
have
a
lot
more
problems
solved
and
if
kids
felt
like
teachers
cared
and
they're
there
to
learn
and
they're
all
treated
the
same,
not
based
on
color
or
anything
else,
I
went
to
school
with
a
lot
of
different
nationalities
and
races,
and
we
were
all
treated
the
same
and
that's
how
kids
need
to
be
treated.
So
everybody
knows
that
they're
there
and
they'll
learn
better,
but
to
have
all
this
other
stuff
infiltrated
to
them.
J
D
I
agree
with
everything
that
was
said
and
by
these
good
people.
It
makes
you
proud
to
be
an
american
the
way
they
speak
up
and
they're
so
informed.
It
was
good.
You
got
a
lot
of
practical
information
as
well
as
how
to
be
a
how
to
support
our
constitution
and
keep
our
country
free,
and
I
too
would
like
to
say
thank
you.
D
The
chairman
I've
been
to
many
meetings
that
did
not
have
that
were
not
run
as
well
as
this
one,
and
I
would
especially
like
to
say
thank
you
to
our
committee,
women
who
came
and
the
rest
of
them
missed
out
and
weren't.
Here
they
were
absent
as
they
are
sometimes,
but
y'all
did
a
great
job
in
being
here
not
only
being
here,
but
in
you
made
us
feel
like
you
were
interested.
Looking
a
straight
goodness,
I
got
to
look
straight
in
the
eye.
I
couldn't
believe
it.
D
We
usually
get
this
and
this
and
it's
just
what
she
was
talking
about.
The
one
thing
that
I
I
felt
we
that
wasn't
talked
about
is
our
teachers.
D
Of
course,
I'm
involved
with
teachers
that
that
are
friends
of
mine
and
so
they're
a
little
older
and
many
of
them
are
so
glad
to
be
retiring.
Many
of
them
are
getting
out
of
this.
The
education
system
because
of
what's
happened
to
it
and
the
bad.
The
sad
part
of
that
is
that
I
will
say
to
them.
Well,
please,
don't
quit.
We
need
good
teachers
and
you're
a
good
teacher
yeah.
I
know
I
am,
but
I
just
can't
cope
with
this
anymore
and
I'll
say.
Well.
D
D
They
are
intimidated
by
the
union.
They
are
scared,
scared
to
speak
up
freedom
of
speech,
our
teachers.
So
listen,
listen
to
our
teachers,
encourage
them
to
talk,
don't
let
them
be
made
to
feel
afraid
of
speaking
up
on
an
issue
that
is
near
and
dear
to
them
that
they
spend
their
whole
lives
in.
So
I
would
just
want
to
bring
those
up
to
you.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
mentioned
or
not.
D
I
know
someone
mentioned
about
the
unions
of
being
communistic
and
I
certainly
agree
with
that,
but
just
take
into
consideration
teachers-
and
I
agree
with
all
these
other
people
that
are
concerned
about
what's
happening
in
our
school
system-
crt
wow,
how
horrible
to
teach
children
to
t
to
hate
other
people
and
to
hate
their
own
people.
Oh
unreal,
and
I
guess
I
won't
say
anything
else.
Thank
you
for
listening.
K
Good
evening
richard
nagle
from
carson
city,
I
heard
a
lot
about
accountability
tonight,
but
there's
no
concrete
things
everything's
rather
nebulous.
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
scorecard
where
we
have
an
accountability
grid
where
the
superintendent
meets
this
statute.
This
statute.
In
this
statute,
you
know
when
we
are
approaching
standards
and
not
even
meeting
standards,
that
should
be
like
a
negative,
a
mark
on
their
evaluation
and
so
many
points.
K
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
things
put
in
black
and
white
everybody's
afraid
to
hold
people
accountable.
Okay,
they
talk
about
it,
but
if,
legally
and
morally,
if
you
don't
have
something
written
down
in
black
and
white,
saying
that
this
person
succeeded
by
doing
x,
y
and
z
or
failed
by
not
doing
x,
y
and
z,
we're
not
going
to
see
any
improvement
whatsoever.
K
We're
just
going
to
keep
going
down
this
road
scratching
our
heads
because
we
didn't
hold
anybody
accountable.
We
didn't
also.
We
failed
that
superintendent
by
not
giving
that
superintendent,
clear,
concise
goals,
something
to
work
for
some
something
he
could
put
on
the
on
the
wall
and
have
my
flow
chart
of
what
I
need
to
do
to
turn
this
this
institution
around,
and
then
he
can
enroll
his
subordinates
in
that
process
and
then
everybody's
on
the
same
page.
K
K
There
should
be
no
ends
if
they're
buts
did
he
get
a
two?
Should
he
have
a
two
demonstrated
facts?
Well,
he
deserved
a
two
or
a
four.
He
deserved
a
four
and
we
gave
him
a
four
because
he
demonstrated
that
he
met
the
criteria
for
a
four.
Yet
we
have
nothing
everything's
nebulous
and
we
can't
succeed
if
we
don't
know
where
we're
going.
We
can't
take
that
hill
if
we
don't
know
which
hill
it
is
to
take.
C
C
C
You
want
to
to
blame
society
because
literally
google
is
now
the
parent.
The
internet
is
now
the
parent
and
you
guys
are
up
against
a
lot.
We
we
understand
that,
but
we
also
understand
what's
happening
in
our
world
right
now,
and
we
can
see
how
it's
all,
transcending
throughout
society
we
are
jobless.
C
You
can't
get
kids
to
want
to
work
or
do
anything
anymore,
because
technology
is
literally
taking
over
there's
a
lot
of
factors
to
play
in
here,
and
it's
not
just
this
bill.
It
goes
beyond
this,
but
more
than
anything
legislation
needs
to
be
held
accountable
and
we
need
to
keep
you
guys
accountable
and
that's
all
I
will
say
thank
you.
E
E
A
D
P
P
The
failure
of
the
schools
does
not
rest
with
the
elected
school
board
members,
but
with
the
very
low
and
inappropriate
standards
which
the
very
poor
curriculum
that
we
have,
especially
regarding
the
basics.
For
instance,
we
do
not
use
proven
teaching
methods
like
systematic,
intensive,
phonics
and
very
poor
teacher
training.
P
We
should
be
looking
to
these
issues
if
we
want
to
improve
education,
we
have
one
of
the
worst
curriculums
in
the
nation.
If
you
are
looking
to
improve
education,
you
are
looking
in
the
wrong
place
and
you
need
to
look
at
the
real
problems
and
the
real
problems
are
not
the
school
boards,
but
they
are
the
curriculum,
the
teacher
training
and
the
low
and
inappropriate
standards.
P
A
Thank
you
with
that.
We
have
no
one.
No,
no
other
folks
wishing
to
get
public
comment,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment.
I
want
to
thank
the
members
and
everyone
who
presented
this
evening
and
for
the
public
that
participated.
A
I
want
to
thank
you
for
spending
my
birthday
with
me
this
day.
I
didn't
bring
cake,
however,
and
so,
but
it
was
definitely
a
very
important
issue
that
we
needed
to
have
this
discussion.
So
I
appreciate
those
that
that
participated
tonight.
I
know
it
was
a
little
different
format
than
we
normally,
but
I
think
that
some
of
the
we
were
able
to
get
some
of
the
information
and
questions
so
that,
as
we
move
forward
on
whatever
or
anything
that
the
questions
you
know
have
been
asked
and
that
we
can
get
some
additional
information.
A
So-
and
I
want
to
thank
my
members-
I
know
we
don't
generally
do
them
this
late,
but
wanted
to
give
an
opportunity
for
people
that
perhaps
couldn't
speak
during
the
day
and
as
we
spoke
about
this
and
and
and
and
I
can't
over
emphasize
all
the
work
that
our
staff
do
and
and
appreciate
all
that
work
that
they
do
and
generally
they're
not
here
in
in
the
evening
either.
And
so
this
has
been
a
a
a
good
meeting.
I
appreciate
all
the
information
we're
able
to
gather
with
that.
