28
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:33.330
DTSD Webinars: Um A couple of items. I wanted to speak on tonight. Um agenda items

29
00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:38.240
DTSD Webinars: First would be the request to use the school facilities

30
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:41.579
DTSD Webinars: for a Covid nineteen vaccine

31
00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:43.530
DTSD Webinars: center.

32
00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:45.120
DTSD Webinars: Um!

33
00:03:45.820 --> 00:03:51.040
DTSD Webinars: They're required thirty days notice, and I think it's about twenty on the form.

34
00:03:51.330 --> 00:03:53.350
DTSD Webinars: Uh just wanted to make you aware of that

35
00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:54.730
DTSD Webinars: um,

36
00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:57.800
DTSD Webinars: and

37
00:03:58.370 --> 00:04:02.089
DTSD Webinars: wanted a little bit more information about whether or not that was a

38
00:04:02.300 --> 00:04:07.340
DTSD Webinars: uh opportunity for others to bid other pharmacies in the area,

39
00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:26.140
DTSD Webinars: Cvs or or others, or you know, if that was exclusively um an opportunity that was provided to Hershey pharmacy. Uh It' be nice to have a little bit more information on that one um approval of policies. I see there's a couple of different policies. Um

40
00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:31.800
DTSD Webinars: and I came across one that is kind of concerning to me, and that

41
00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:37.350
DTSD Webinars: is the policy manual threat assessments.

42
00:04:39.710 --> 00:04:45.700
DTSD Webinars: And there's no revision to this. But I It was adopted November eighth two thousand and twenty-one.

43
00:04:45.790 --> 00:04:58.830
DTSD Webinars: So the Board is committed to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of its students in school and community, provide the resources and support to just identify student needs. The Board adopted a policy to address student behavior

44
00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:05.949
DTSD Webinars: that may indicate a threat to the safety of the student. Other students, school employees, school facilities, communities, and others.

45
00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:11.499
DTSD Webinars: I'm. A little concerned with who gets to make the decision of what's considered a threat,

46
00:05:11.810 --> 00:05:18.019
DTSD Webinars: or what's concerning behavior, particularly in light of the social emotional learning

47
00:05:18.210 --> 00:05:21.709
DTSD Webinars: tests uh questionnaires that are sent out.

48
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:22.870
DTSD Webinars: Um,

49
00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:26.180
DTSD Webinars: yeah, you you can. You can make a lot of assumptions

50
00:05:26.700 --> 00:05:29.380
DTSD Webinars: from those questions and

51
00:05:29.890 --> 00:05:44.650
DTSD Webinars: nudge, so to speak, someone towards being in that quote unquote threat, window, and uh tying into that, I was at a art show this past weekend at the school at the height. Excuse me at the High School,

52
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:53.850
DTSD Webinars: and um I don't know. I say this would just be blunt with it. There's a case of newspaper articles from

53
00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:57.759
DTSD Webinars: early two thousand and twenty-one. That, uh

54
00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:00.150
DTSD Webinars: is very excited about uh

55
00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:19.550
DTSD Webinars: Joe Biden, which is great at the time

56
00:06:19.610 --> 00:06:21.270
DTSD Webinars: in the school

57
00:06:21.310 --> 00:06:35.579
DTSD Webinars: that portrays, and I'm. Not a Republican or a Democrat. Okay, i'm an independent raised by a Republican in a Democrat for the for the record I'm concerned. Which policy is this referring to on the

58
00:06:36.430 --> 00:06:43.520
DTSD Webinars: When you portray certain behavior, certain individuals as a threat by the very

59
00:06:43.750 --> 00:06:50.879
DTSD Webinars: nature of what they believe in, that's concerning, because I'm pretty sure of you with the information we have. Now,

60
00:06:51.240 --> 00:07:01.879
DTSD Webinars: you some of those headlines are kind of misleading. Okay, that's all I'm going to say, and this dangerous to have that up. It's fanning the flames of division, In my opinion.

61
00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:08.479
DTSD Webinars: Okay, I think it's inappropriate, and it does tie to this, Because what are we considering a threat?

62
00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:12.770
DTSD Webinars: Who's who's making that call?

63
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.520
DTSD Webinars: I think I think

64
00:07:17.170 --> 00:07:18.670
DTSD Webinars: I think we can

65
00:07:18.830 --> 00:07:23.139
DTSD Webinars: do a lot to bring each other together, and last, but not least,

66
00:07:23.640 --> 00:07:31.799
DTSD Webinars: you gave us a warning mystery. Before we speak. We get it every time we come up here, and the the warning or the disclaimer has gotten increasingly.

67
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.790
DTSD Webinars: How are you saying It's not changed. It changed, I think

68
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:39.750
DTSD Webinars: I could tell you actually, when it changed in here somewhere.

69
00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:49.360
DTSD Webinars: But here's the deal. This is an opportunity to remind the Board that the public comment period is an opportunity to engage with community members.

70
00:07:50.610 --> 00:07:55.939
Board members may adapt reasonable rules and regulations to govern the control of this meeting.

71
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:15.369

73
00:08:29.370 --> 00:08:38.769
DTSD Webinars: neglig, uh neglect of duty, violation of any of the or subversive doctrines. Thank you.

74
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.070
DTSD Webinars: Is there anyone else in person who would like to speak at this time?

75
00:08:48.060 --> 00:08:53.679
DTSD Webinars: We'll move to virtual attendant uh attendees? I see one hand race so far,

76
00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:58.830
DTSD Webinars: two hands no one back

77
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:07.380

78

Catherine Burys: Okay, Can you hear me? Okay, uh, my name is Kathy Burris. I'm at seven hundred and forty-three Creekside Drive in Homestown? And um i'm just calling in today because I also have concern about the

79
00:09:24.130 --> 00:09:28.509
Catherine Burys: uh, the schedule and your consent agenda items about

80
00:09:28.530 --> 00:09:43.689
Catherine Burys: the Covid nineteen vaccine clinic. Um. I'd like to know if this is something that's being arranged for the community, or if you were specifically trying to have it for students. Um on a Sunday. It's kind of unclear.

81
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:54.479
Catherine Burys: Um. I disagree that at any point as a school district should be having a vaccine clinic at all, but especially for this Covid nineteen vaccine,

82
00:09:54.490 --> 00:10:14.100
Catherine Burys: because um, at this point um! It should be clear to most people that. Uh, there's been a lot of uh very concerning adverse effects, especially in children. Um, that you know you might be targeting this too. So um! I would just ask that you uh um

83
00:10:14.110 --> 00:10:30.479
Catherine Burys: vote against having this clinic, and please just leave this decision to families to bring to their own provider Um, having this vaccine um, because it has the potential for so many adverse effects, including my carditis and young

84
00:10:30.540 --> 00:10:41.670
Catherine Burys: young people. Um! They should be discussing it with their provider. Um, not with the pharmacy, Um, And it really like makes the district um look very poor, in my opinion.

85
00:10:41.910 --> 00:10:43.350
Thank you.

86
00:10:44.180 --> 00:10:45.780

00:10:47.530 --> 00:10:50.340

90
00:11:20.300 --> 00:11:24.420
Melissa Kaminski: following up to uh the last two. Um,

91
00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:35.440
Melissa Kaminski: I guess. Parents um the request to host it on Campus Covid, nineteen vaccine clinic on uh the school campus. I'm a little confused because

92
00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:39.480
Melissa Kaminski: um, I think at this point in time. Uh, most families,

93
00:11:39.630 --> 00:11:56.250
Melissa Kaminski: if they, you know choose, can can really go anywhere. Um, including, you know, Cbs right Aids. And of course you know right to hershey pharmacy, which is, you know, right right in Hershey, if they choose to obtain uh these particular uh vaccines.

94
00:11:56.260 --> 00:12:12.019
Melissa Kaminski: Um, I'm just not quite sure as to why uh, it's necessary, or even um wanted really to have something like that on campus, and I really again, I have to um to also concur and say that

95
00:12:12.030 --> 00:12:17.469
Melissa Kaminski: uh it's It's really not um, in my opinion. Uh the schools

96
00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:26.470
Melissa Kaminski: prerogative to have these things uh on a school campus when there's so many other options available. So I just wanted to say that I thank you.

97
00:12:27.450 --> 00:12:29.010
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.

103
00:13:19.830 --> 00:13:31.620
DTSD Webinars: Standing committee meeting reports. The curriculum Council and policy committees met today, and so there. Um, a member of the Board who would be willing to provide the curriculum report uh in Dr. Konn's absence.

104
00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:42.930
DTSD Webinars: Uh, So the Curriculum Council met today. We introduced new members. We had new uh student advisors, new citizen advisors and a few um additional teachers.

105
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:56.760
DTSD Webinars: Uh, the first order of business was to review the summer curriculum work. It essentially just. Um was a long document showing all of the uh summer work that the teachers and staff put into curriculum work.

106
00:13:56.830 --> 00:14:20.500
DTSD Webinars: Uh. And then, lastly, we had a data presentation. This mostly showed uh two thousand and twenty-two P. Ss. A. And keystone data. We looked at uh scores over a period of time, I think dating back as early as maybe two thousand and fourteen two thousand and twenty-one, when uh students weren't tested or were opting out

107
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:31.859
DTSD Webinars: uh so we looked at some of those percentage in percentages, and some of the scores, and we did uh discuss some really small dips in um

108
00:14:31.870 --> 00:14:51.579
DTSD Webinars: particular math scores and grades three to eight um still significantly higher than the state averages in those areas. Um uh. But the discussion kind of ended with what we're doing uh different intervention sessions at the elementary school and middle school for both Math and Ela, as well as um new curriculums

109
00:14:51.590 --> 00:15:05.390

Management is one that uh, we move to unfinished business for the next um as a tabled item uh, as we are requesting that the Administration take a look at um that and bring forward any recommended changes.

131
00:19:55.810 --> 00:20:00.210

132
00:20:01.570 --> 00:20:04.039
DTSD Webinars: All right. I'd like to make a motion to

134
00:20:13.790 --> 00:20:24.919
DTSD Webinars: Absolutely. We We don't actually even need a motion. You could just pull any of those items from consent, and we can vote on that separately. We need a separate motion as it.

135
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:33.580
DTSD Webinars: So you move forward with everything you have, with the exception of that particular item, and then you'll take that one up separately.

136
00:20:34.580 --> 00:20:39.320
DTSD Webinars: Okay. So we have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda items as

137
00:20:39.710 --> 00:20:44.950
DTSD Webinars: listed, minus item, four F request uh for use of school facilities.

138
00:20:45.260 --> 00:20:47.659
DTSD Webinars: Is there any other discussion for that?

139
00:20:48.770 --> 00:21:04.730
DTSD Webinars: Um, I do want to just address for any questions regarding policy? Um, I would encourage any community members who have questions on the application of policy, or how that's carried out at a building level to please speak to um The appropriate administrative contact to um

140
00:21:05.550 --> 00:21:09.500
understand the the specific answers to those questions.

141
00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:21.479
DTSD Webinars: Is there any other question or discussion?

142
00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:39.640
DTSD Webinars: Okay, then, this is a standard voice. Vote all those in favor. Please say I, I any opposed. They know the consent. Agenda um minus item four f. Request for use of school facilities is approved.

143
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:47.320
DTSD Webinars: Well, Now address item for F. Requester Use to school facilities. Um, Dr. Winslow,

144
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:52.339
I apologize. I forgot that there's still a that I can do there.

145
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.910
I guess I could freak out. I got it.

146
00:21:58.550 --> 00:22:06.129
DTSD Webinars: There we go. The Administration recommends the approval of the following request for the use of school facilities: This approval is contingent upon Government regulations restrictions.

147
00:22:06.580 --> 00:22:09.219
DTSD Webinars: That's not that anymore. Sorry um

148
00:22:10.490 --> 00:22:15.379
for the use of the yeah as listed for the use of the Garnata gym.

149
00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:28.840
DTSD Webinars: May I have a motion to approve the request for the use of school facilities.

150
00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:34.500
You can discuss the motion in general. Whatever concerns you have about

151
00:22:35.790 --> 00:22:57.350
DTSD Webinars: so is there a way to approve the other ones, and not that one, and then discuss that one. Or is it? I don't know the procedure the best way to do it there would have to. This would be similar to the textbooks. We would have to motion to separate the the specific item, because I have a question about the one, the other ones. But if you want to, we can discuss and and have questions, and then, if you want to motion it, we can walk through that.

152
00:22:58.420 --> 00:23:06.260
DTSD Webinars: So my concern is is because it's outside that thirty days. Is there some reason that, given that this seems to be a little bit of a

153
00:23:07.490 --> 00:23:12.619
uh controversy in the community with some people. Is there some reason that the thirty days is not being divided by,

154
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:25.179
DTSD Webinars: or anybody uh feel that that should be waved or brought it all. I I guess you know I think we owe it to have like. I say it's a single boat on this um to push it through uh where they uh

155
00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:29.170
DTSD Webinars: I don't know I got consent agenda, but to actually pull it out and vote on it individually.

156
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.679
DTSD Webinars: Well, there's other ones on here that aren't thirty days either

157
00:23:33.830 --> 00:23:39.979
DTSD Webinars: Hershey's basketball is November eighth, and tenth this weekend, So I'm or this week. So

158
00:23:43.990 --> 00:23:46.739
DTSD Webinars: it was a former submitted back on September nineteenth.

159
00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:50.260
DTSD Webinars: One thirty pharmacy was submitted on October the twenty fourth,

160
00:23:50.290 --> 00:23:54.169
DTSD Webinars: so the date one submitted into the school district within thirty days is the

161
00:24:04.170 --> 00:24:10.910
DTSD Webinars: have any comment as to the administrative administration recommendation on this I don't actually we um!

162
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:21.079
DTSD Webinars: It was brought forward and and initially asked for retroactive approval. We did not feel comfortable doing that; wanted to make sure that it came before the full board and asked them to choose a different date.

163
00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:23.999
Um! This was the different date that was chosen.

164
00:24:42.800 --> 00:24:53.179
DTSD Webinars: Sorry I'm just looking at the policy I in the meantime, I think, and the thirty I didn't realize the thirty days thing until this moment. So I don't know if that's

165
00:24:53.550 --> 00:25:01.539
DTSD Webinars: a reason why we would consider potentially pushing this back, if that's what policy is, but I do think it's important for

166
00:25:01.870 --> 00:25:05.220
DTSD Webinars: everyone that for the community to realize that

167
00:25:05.260 --> 00:25:35.239
DTSD Webinars: this request came through as any outside organization would. And um I know. We've said that this has occurred before with like religious organizations who want our space, and everybody is welcome to the space as long as they follow the proper protocol. So I think it's important to know that this is not going to be advertised through the district. It's going to kind of come through um our dissemination of materials just as if anything would, and it's by no means

168
00:25:35.450 --> 00:25:53.920
DTSD Webinars: a school sponsored event. I I think that that's all important to know that it's following the same protocols as any outside organization. Um! That would just want to use space, and it's not there. There are no waivers, and there is no um schools sponsoring of this whatsoever.

169
00:25:53.930 --> 00:26:01.329
DTSD Webinars: I think you made a good point, Dr. Cook, because also they are paying a fee for a vacant space in our in our

170
00:26:01.790 --> 00:26:03.330
DTSD Webinars: on our campus.

171
00:26:04.230 --> 00:26:06.340
DTSD Webinars: So it's not like they're

172
00:26:06.510 --> 00:26:17.759
DTSD Webinars: we're giving it away for free. They're going through the process, and I I was at the agenda, planning where you told us that they had wanted a retroactive, and you weren't comfortable with it. And so you went and picked a date further out

173
00:26:19.950 --> 00:26:23.800
DTSD Webinars: you my issues with them, applying for the school usage. That's not my

174
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:40.810
DTSD Webinars: issue, like, you know, whoever wants to use the school, and if they meet the criteria. Great Um! I just here to make sure, is that actually meeting the criteria? I don't know how often like these dates come within thirty days. I Uh, this is the kind of person I brought to my attention. So if that's above board, and that's okay, And we that you know as a school district. We do that. Then

175
00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:49.460
DTSD Webinars: i'm fine with it. I don't. I didn't have the answer to that. That's why I kind of pull this off. This is not something that's normally done, and it's not the way it should be done. And I don't think we should be doing it like that.

176
00:26:51.020 --> 00:27:06.090
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, I I would say, as far as for me, with the use of school facilities. Um, I I think that I tend to look at more from the prohibited activities list, and making sure that anyone who is requesting to rent

177
00:27:06.100 --> 00:27:17.150
DTSD Webinars: in essence our space and use the facilities that we're following along with the fee structure they're paying. You know the fees. Um! Is there, you know, any potential uh

178
00:27:17.230 --> 00:27:28.329
DTSD Webinars: prohibitive activity that's taking place on there um. I've not ever looked and cross-checked the dates on it, because these come um through buildings and grounds. You know there's a

179
00:27:28.350 --> 00:27:36.929
DTSD Webinars: very established process for how applications are received, and then move through. Um! I don't know what the original application date was,

180
00:27:37.070 --> 00:27:49.180
DTSD Webinars: and having it, you know that it would have come up as retroactive. Um! And then Dr. Went so shared that she wasn't comfortable, recommending it retroactively. So it was represented. Um,

181
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:52.450
DTSD Webinars: I don't believe that we have ever

182
00:27:52.550 --> 00:27:56.219
DTSD Webinars: really harped on that, you know, from from the thirty days.

183
00:27:56.370 --> 00:27:57.220
So

184
00:27:57.670 --> 00:27:59.320
DTSD Webinars: it's logistical.

185
00:28:01.230 --> 00:28:17.470
DTSD Webinars: Okay. Mr. Z's clarified that the thirty days is more for logistical to provide the administration with. Um. The time to make sure that it goes through those proper channels to get before the board, for so it's a guideline to make sure the school has enough notice to make sure everything's happening on. Wait a time. Not necessarily something that's up for

186
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:22.330
DTSD Webinars: really approval or denial. It's just a as a courtesy for the school district. Okay,

187
00:28:22.470 --> 00:28:24.170
DTSD Webinars: that was kind of my question.

188
00:28:24.650 --> 00:28:25.550
Good question.

189
00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:31.150
DTSD Webinars: Does anyone else have any question or comment?

190
00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:39.760
DTSD Webinars: Are you come to a proceeding with all uses facilities combined?

191
00:28:45.310 --> 00:28:59.719
DTSD Webinars: There's no more discussion. Um, then, can I please have a standard of voice vote on the motion to approve the request for use of school facilities as presented all those in favor, please say Aye, aye, aye, any of those say no request for you to school facilities is approved.

192

DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Um. Are there any Board members who would like to give a report this evening?

205
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:08.959
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, this is Terry Singer. I I just wanted to report, and I don't remember the date. But uh, maybe Dr. Winslow can feel in on the date, but the whole of fame had its annual uh luncheon,

206
00:31:09.020 --> 00:31:25.249
DTSD Webinars: probably around mid October Um. To install the latest five nominees into the Hershey High School Hall of Fame. It was really, uh, probably the most well attended of any of the luncheons that I had been to over the last several years. Um!

207
00:31:25.260 --> 00:31:39.300
DTSD Webinars: A lot of students come the uh captains of various athletic teams, or they are a lot of teachers faculty. Dr. Winslow is there? It was a great event, and um, I think not only the

208
00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:56.060
DTSD Webinars: the hall of Fame uh individuals who were installed, and, you know, felt honored and enjoyed it. I think everyone there really appreciate it enjoyed it. I did want to share with the group that I um not on that day in particular, but

209
00:31:56.230 --> 00:32:12.949
DTSD Webinars: previously in my role as a delegate to to the committee I have shared with the committee the concerns of the interests expressed by this board that in the future we collectively meeting the administration, the committee all of us involved with the whole fame program

210
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:18.719
DTSD Webinars: make a extra special effort to outreach to women to increase the number of um

211
00:32:18.790 --> 00:32:25.769
DTSD Webinars: nominations, so that we can have a larger pool of uh women nominees in the future to possibly

212
00:32:25.810 --> 00:32:28.050
DTSD Webinars: uh consider. Uh,

213
00:32:28.150 --> 00:32:39.650
DTSD Webinars: I think it's the chairperson of the Hall of in Committee himself, and may noted this at the meeting, and he said it often a no nomination, no conversation.

214
00:32:39.820 --> 00:32:48.129
DTSD Webinars: So the important thing is, if we're going to try to expand the eligible pool of of a female athletes.

215
00:32:48.270 --> 00:32:53.619
DTSD Webinars: We'll have to do that working together with the Hall of Fame Committee. Um,

216
00:32:54.210 --> 00:33:09.470
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Math Darrow is part of that committee. I know the administration. Uh, i'm sure we'll we're collectively with us, and support the committee, and it's effort to do that in the future. But I think the the Board felt pretty strongly about that, and I just wanted to

217
00:33:11.110 --> 00:33:20.720
DTSD Webinars: let the board know that that those sentiments have been communicated, and and we'll follow. You know we'll fall through on that as we move forward for next Year's program.

218
00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:24.820
DTSD Webinars: Thank you, Mr. Singer. Is there any other board members?

219
00:33:25.290 --> 00:33:28.639
DTSD Webinars: Dr. Winslow? You have a superintendent's report. Thank you.

220
00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:33.900
DTSD Webinars: I'm not going to repeat what the kids share this fine, although it is a very exciting

221
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:53.649
DTSD Webinars: Um! We are seeing very warm weather this week as we experience our Pennsylvania second summer. Um. But despite that, we are planning for our winter weather days, so this afternoon all families would have received an email letter detailing the procedures for Snowds delayed starts and early dismissals getting ready for that winter season.

222
00:33:53.660 --> 00:34:11.990
DTSD Webinars: Um! The process is going to be slightly different this year based on the survey data that Miss Carpel collected over the summer. Um, So please be sure to review the information, so to summarize that we did find from that survey information that text messages and the website, or the quickest way to inform all families of changes to the school day.

223
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:29.110
DTSD Webinars: Families will be receiving text messages first followed by emails and phone calls. We will continue to post on social media and the news outlets as well. So they will be in those different places, and also just as a reminder. Um! Since we have been approved for fit days the flexible instructional days.

224
00:34:29.120 --> 00:34:45.419
DTSD Webinars: But I know how important that first snow day is for everybody. Um! The first full real snow day will be a traditional snow day with students having off so they can enjoy the snow day and the remaining five days if needed. Hopefully, we don't need five. Um will be flexible instruction days,

225
00:34:46.469 --> 00:34:47.770
that's all I have.

226
00:34:47.790 --> 00:34:48.810
Thank you.

227
00:34:49.469 --> 00:35:08.330
DTSD Webinars: I know there's a big topic of conversation going on, at least from the Middle School or in my home about whether or not Dr. Winslow was going to be cool and give the first full real snow day as a real snow day. So i'm sure there's a lot of my stuff of coffee

228
00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:24.399
DTSD Webinars: um for for President's report. I just wanted to share with the board that Dr. Kon and I were the voting delegates for the Psba um voting Delegate Assembly uh this past Saturday We participated in a hybrid environment virtually. Um,

229
00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:38.890
DTSD Webinars: and we're part of that. Dr. Cronin will be preparing a report to give the Board an update on the outcomes um of all of those. But unfortunately, um! Whether or not being here tonight, that'll be forthcoming, so please stay tuned. But we wanted to let you know that that um

230
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:57.029
DTSD Webinars: we had participated in that this weekend, and then that I do not have anything else to report. Um, so we will move into our final recognition of citizens, which is once again an opportunity for residents and taxpayers to address the Board on matters related to the agenda or matters of district governance that we're not on the agenda.

231
00:35:57.040 --> 00:36:11.370
DTSD Webinars: Those who speak are asked to follow the same guidelines outlined at the initial public comment portion of our meeting, and I will once again ask for treasure and Mrs. Sicker to please keep time. Are there any residents or taxpayers who would like to comment at this time, offer to the audience Mr. Miller,

232
00:36:16.910 --> 00:36:19.670
