 So I'm going to call the meeting to order. Everyone, I'm going to call the meeting to order. Welcome, bienvenidos a todos. Welcome to all of you. I'm going to do the pledge of allegiance. And, Georgia, you want to give a pledge. Of the United States of America and the two republics for which it stands, one nation, and we are indivisible with liberty and justice. We're doing recognitions 1.4 of outgoing board members. Thank you so much. So each year we have an election of our different officials. And when we do the outgoing of both our president and our vice president, we like to recognize them for the work that they did as our officials. And so in this space, I wanted to first recognize our current president, Karen Ostensen, for the work that she did as president. So let's all give her a round of applause. One thing that I always appreciated about Karen is not only her willingness to talk to me at all hours of the night and hear updates, but also ensuring that she met with me so that she was always prepared for the board meeting and attended so many functions. So I really appreciate Karen for all that work. And so we have this recognition for her before the local nurseries as well. And now our vice president, Daniel Dodge, Jr. So one thing about Daniel that's really very special is that he not only really listens to his constituents, but he also tries to proactively look for solutions to the different causes that they bring together. And so he was a great vice president, and we want to appreciate him for his work. And here, this is for you. I like cactus because actually I was born and raised in Arizona where there's a lot of cactus. So I like cactus. Look, for next item agenda 1.5, we will have the elections of officers of the board. And so I'm going to read the bylaws real quick of our board. The board shall each year elect one of its members to be president following this process. Board president will carry on any and all board members who wish to be picked and asked for a brief statement. Board president will then ask for nominations for board president. Nominations will be voted in the order they were voiced. The nomination that is approved by the majority of the board causes any remaining nominations to fail. So first off, I will be asking who would like to be president. And I would ask a brief statement for the board. I mean, sometimes I wonder if I should be go for president again, because this might be my last year. And I've only been president once, but because I'm going to be on this board 16 years, long time, long time. But I don't know. We did elect, via the heart, two years when I was on the board. We elected 20. I guess I could, but I'm willing to have any other person get elected to. I would also like to ask for my nomination for president of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. Although in my first year, I worked with Dr. Superintendent Dr. Rodriguez and CBO Joe Dominguez to get rid of dirt that has been in E.L. Hall for years. I worked with Dr. Michelle Rodriguez and CBO Joe to finally complete the field at E.L. Hall, which was supposed to be there in 2012. I worked with PVSP staff to finally get many white schools to move portables, which were they were supposed to get in 2012. I have met with PVP students, along with other trustees, and ordinance, and van vaping. And I also have attended many city council meetings to work together to get the same pass. I worked with past Mayor Francisco Estrada to create Red Heart Day for the city of Washington. I've worked with council member Aurelio Gonzalez to fight against the long profit that wanted to bring the needles and hand them out at Celebration Albany and Grant Street. And I fought against that because they're trying to put a free needle exchange by lots of all night. I spoke in favor of renewing Measure G, which is now Measure Y, because I believe we need our police and firefighters and also percentage of those funds would be going to our parks. And finally, within my first six months of being trustee, thank you to Dr. Rodriguez for allowing me to bring a program that would give free examinations to children to consider that local performing schools. Sorry I'm kind of nervous, but I would like the support of my board, and hopefully I could count on your vote. Thank you. I mean, you don't have to vote for me. But I also am involved in, I've on four committees, not on any committee. I'm on four committees. I go to lots and lots of meetings every month. And I go to every single school function that I can go to. I try to go to all the school functions if I can. And I've worked for safe streets. And obviously, I was at the meeting at EA Hall about the track to support the track. And I've been at City Council meetings as well. But I don't care if it's the entity. Thank you very much, Karen. Is there a motion in a second? Consider it. I'd like to make a motion to move for Vice Chair Trustee Daniel Dodge Jr. to be moved as president of the board. Sorry. Can I get a roll call vote? Trustee Shocker, your vote. I vote for Danny Dodge. Trustee Orozcoe, your vote. Trustee Derserpa, your vote. Aye. Trustee Holm. Aye. Trustee Acosta. Aye, in support of Daniel Dodge Jr. Trustee Dodge. Yes. President Osmondson. Yeah. So the nomination vote carries. Thank you very much, everybody. So in a separate action, the board shall elect one of its members to be Vice President slash Clerk following this process. Board President will call on any and all board members who wish to be Vice President, Clerk, and ask for a brief statement. Board President will then ask for nominations for Board Vice President, Clerk. Nominations will be voted in order they were voiced. The first nomination that is approved by the majority of the board causes any remaining nominations to fail. I will then ask, I will now ask any of my board members who wish to be Vice President slash Clerk. I am interested. Would you like me to give a statement now or after? It's been an honor to serve, you know, on the board of trustees. I would like to serve in this additional capacity and responsibility. I feel that I have a good working relationship with all of you and I'd like to continue that communication and help to own a collaborative board. So I'll make a nomination to, I'd like to put myself in for Vice President. And I have enjoyed my first year on the board. I've been very involved with our community, attending numerous community events, working with the city on various programs, working with PVPSA, with the Vaping issue, going to different health community meetings at our district for a healthier food choices for our students, working with after-school programs to get some more free after-school programs brought into our district. I can go on and on, but I'm not going to. I'll be very active and I'd like to continue to be active. And I'd thank all of you for your support to me as a new fine-coming board member this past year. Any other nominations? I'd like to make a motion to support Jennifer Satcher as Vice President. Is there a second? So we have a first and a second. I give a vote, call a vote. Trustee D'Sarpa, your vote. Trustee Moan, your vote. Trustee Schaffer, your vote. Yes. Trustee Orozco, Trustee Dodge. Yes. Trustee Alvinson. Trustee, President Alvinson. No. Can you hand this side of the board? I'll say no, I guess. All right? I guess no. No, I guess yes. Motion fails. So we have a motion to vote. And one of some of the directors who wants to point her is because over the past year it's been very open to collaboration, not only with staff, but also with all of us as the board just sees. And I think that I have a vote here. I think she'll bring confusion to the board as a whole. And I think she's also very good at working with people. I have come down to be a new supporter of Danny in our act. So with that, I would like to have Trustee Orozco. Go ahead and take a roll call vote now. Trustee Orozco, your vote. Trustee Schaffer, your vote. Aye. Trustee Orozco, your vote. Aye. Trustee Hall, your vote. Aye. Trustee Sir, your vote. Aye. President Duff. Yes. Trustee Alvinson, yes. Thank you very much. Break and have time. Don't want to break it. So thank you very much. So what you will find is the proposed 2020 board session. If you look at the assessment, what you will see is as customary we have only one board meeting in January. We traditionally do not do it a second or four as we usually do because of the holiday. So we have a three week break. Most of us, especially at the district office, do not take all three weeks, but some staff does. So this allows staff to not have to work through the break. February, March, April is fairly normal. In April, we usually just have one board meeting. So during that time, we have in the past two years done a special board study session on our academic data so that the board could go through a deep dive into data, so that continues to be my recommendation in April, which would, as to continue to have two board meetings in April, you'll see it continue on. What you'll notice in the bolus is just some of the large items, such as first third in from budget adoption. July, we have one board meeting. August, we traditionally have one regular board meeting, one closed session special board meeting which is my evaluation. We always do that the second week in August. And then you see the rest. November is requested to be the 18th because of the Thanksgiving holiday. And we again will have to have just a note. The annual organizational meeting will have to occur on the December 16th again. We have to do the first interim budget prior to December 15th, but we can't do the, we cannot do the organizational meeting until after the second Friday, which is why we have to do it on the 16th. And so this is just a recommendation for the board meeting schedule. Any discussion from the board? I have a couple of questions. So I had the understanding that in April, we were going to start doing, when we were, because we used to do in the past the students awards and recognitions at various award meetings throughout the year. And then we said we were gonna have one special meeting in April, I think was the target to do that where that was just for that night for that recognition. Is that, I take it as not the special study case while the academic data session correct? So we were going to tag the two together and it should have been noted that. So the goal would be to do the, so sorry about that, so it would be an addition. So what we would do is something very similar to what we're doing tonight is that we would do the student recognition and then we would go into the special awards study session just because the special awards study sessions are getting shorter. So it would allow us to still do like a six to nine. Okay. And we would get out of that student first. Okay. Students would go first. And then going into the December meeting, so I did read up on the AB 2449 and it's kind of unfortunate that that law was put in because it really contradicts the state election code law which says that all, we're all 58 counties in the state of California, all election clerks have to have those races served by that first Friday. And we have even written into our board policy about when the transition actually does technically take place between newly elected board members and outgoing board members. But nonetheless, it is a law for now unless someone has a sense to repeal it. So since we are having two board meetings to vote in December, would it be possible just for ceremonial purposes, and I believe we've had this conversation before, that at the December night meeting, if we have board members that will be going out and we will know because the elections will be certified by that Friday before. Could we have the ceremonial going out of outgoing board members on December 9th and then on December 16th, recognize they have the new incoming ones. So it's two separate events because last year it lasted far too long for one. And two, I mean, when you have a transition of power like that, it sometimes could be uncomfortable for both the outgoing trustee and the incoming and the incumbent dynamics. So could we consider that or implement that now? That, and I'm just speaking, I'm not speaking about who actually has the power, but just for the ceremonial purposes. I will say, if it illegally is possible, it sounds like a really great idea. I just would wanna talk with legal counsel just because the new law just came into effect and so I don't know all the nuances of it as long as the new law doesn't prohibit it in that count. I know it's been a challenge in the past, so I think that would be a great suggestion. Yeah, and I'm really just speaking more to our ceremonial component of it, where we recognize outgoing board members and then of course recognize some of the K-24 members. So, thank you all for having me here. I just wanna let you guys know that I will not be in town on February 20th today. I do 24, so that's super, that's it, so. Well, because I don't want, if there's other board members gone, I wanna make sure that we have a quorum so that dates are formal. Customary to let Michelle and your board president know, like, closer to the date, just so sometimes there's things that are, in the action on it, so they're gonna be fine. So, I know now, because we'll be, hopefully my sister-in-law will be having her babies. Yeah. Any other discussion from the board? Can I go ahead and get a motion? Awesome move to approve the board of trustees meeting scheduled for the 2020 calendar year. Can I go ahead and get a will call vote? I have a will call vote, all in favor? No, please, I call for vote. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes. Next, I have an agenda of 1.9, we're gonna make board representation to district and community committees or by Dr. Michelle Larkin. Thank you. So, we were able to provide you the information this past week. Hopefully you found that helpful so that you had the dates a little bit earlier. We know that in some cases, we were not able to get all the dates and we will work with our various organizations to try to have that in the future but ever tried two weeks out and we're not able to provide all of the dates. But what we do is we have 13 of them. As you know, we cannot have more than three on each one. The agenda setting generally is a little bit different in that generally and I think anything could change but generally it is the president, the vice president and then it's a third person. We try to do it geographically different. In this case, we have two already geographically diverse people. So, it would be discussion and the will of both the president and vice president of who they would like that third person to be or they can just open it up for a request. I just wanted to comment to that, Michelle. I mean, in the past, it's always usually been the outgoing board president that has also sort of by default served with the current president and current vice chair. This last year, we've had a different circumstance for Maria and Roscoe stepped up to do it because our previous president was elected out of office and she was the vice chair. So, she stepped up and took that seat. It's not a current Georgia. That is how it was in the past and in the past and that was definitely, it was the first two years I was on the board. I don't remember, after I was the board president, I never was on the, I was twice and I was never on the agenda committing to the following year just FYI. Maybe that's been the practice but I think it was sort of de facto. I don't think that would happen that way of purpose. So anyway, it can be really anybody on the board. Well, go ahead and carry on. Oh, okay. So, since I've been, since I've already been pretty active in board stuff, I wouldn't mind, unless somebody else wants to do being on the agenda committee since I've been already, you know, working on a lot of agendas. Yeah, anybody else interested? I think that having former president, trustee Osmondson on there, as you were even speaking to if, you know, to circle wants to challenge me on this and maybe by, you know, she decided to not be when she was the former president. But that was past practice. But nonetheless, if you were speaking Michelle to demographics, we definitely got the northern zone represented. We've got the southern Watsonville zone represented and trustee Osmondson represents some of the most vulnerable students in our district in Monterey County. We have to know where the trustee that resides in Monterey County. That's true. So I mean, trustee Acosta is correct. Karen is not the only trustee in the Monterey County that would support that along this hall. All right. So we will have those three be on the agenda committee. So for the rest of them, 12 through 13, what we have done in the past is we have asked the board to provide us their requests, which ones that they would like to. And then we, if needed, we've had discussions if we've had four or more, because we can only have three on each one. So we don't have to go necessarily in order from two to 13 if you would defer. You can tell me which ones. I can start listing them down. And then if we have a conflict, then we can, there can be a conversation. Can we start off at the end of the table? Can I ask the trustee one by one? Yes. That'll be. Which one would you like to start with, Karen? Mr. Acosta, would you please be? I'm sure. I would like to be a financial aid adult education advisory committee and CTE advisory committee. I would like to be on the intergovernmental committee, the safety committee, and the arts education committee, as well as the adult education. I've been on the same committee for 15 years, so I'm going to continue to be on my same committees, which is D-LAC, Migrant Seasonal Head Start. I want to try to be better on the special education, but I also go to a committee that's not, I mean, this is a committee, it's the Migrant Parent Advisory Committee, which is not listed as a committee, but I try to go to those meetings as well. I don't go with the lease. Yeah, so I try, that's another meeting that I go to, but I guess it's not listed as a committee. I wouldn't mind being on the intergovernmental, because I've never been on it before. But, you know, if there's too many people on it, you know, I'm fine with that. I'm not being on it, but so, I've never been on that one before. It would be fun to go on. Allocation and then what committee you're with, from what day of the week you're being held, I'll be interested in joining the SELPA community. I serve on PDPSA, SELPA committee, Specter Arts, and I am too interested in the intergovernmental, so I've never been on that. All these years I've always deferred to an interestee or hero, but I'm a little bit of a various space on here. Trustee Ho. As a community advisory committee for SELPA, I'll yield with my vote for the intergovernmental. I would also like to serve on the arts education, but it depends on the dates and times. And for our trustee, Garcia has asked me to find my place and, importantly, I was going to get it. Oh, I was going to say I've always, I've never even, I've always been on the adult, I mean I've gone to all the adult education advisory committee, but if there's too many on that one, I've gone to it for the last many, many years to the adult education I've been going to the meetings. But, I never. Thank you, Mr. President SELPA. Do we have on the Power of Alley Foundation? So we currently only have two board members now that we have Vice President Volker, we have Maria Roscoe, and we have... So we can have a third. Okay, so I'm still looking for somebody to serve on that and I would like to serve on that. So since we have, and enough people choose not to be on the intergovernmental, we only have three and we have two on tour, less on the other one. So we are good to go. The only one that we have, everybody slated for at least one of the U.I. who's on each one of them. So thank you very much. Can you clarify the intergovernmental relations committee? Sure, I have down trustee Shocker, trustee Austinson, and trustee Yusuf. Because one of the default rules on that is usually the board trustee. I was gonna say, kind of even soliciting here, I know last year Karen yielded that seat, but I think that that needs to be asked of President Trustee Daniel Nosh, Jr. He hasn't done his committee, let's go. I don't find him in that seat. I'm sorry, I'm just wondering if you would... Yes, also I'm joined the safety committee and the health benefits committee. Will you just repeat who's on intergovernmental committee to make sure that we have trustee Shocker, trustee Austinson, and trustee Yusuf. Okay, I just wanted to make sure we did have an outtouch first. All right, so after discussion from the board, can I have a motion? Second. I will now call for a vote, all in favor? Aye. Aye. All opposed? All right, so next up, approval to agenda. 2.1, approve to agenda. Move all. Second. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right, next up, public comment on the agenda.
