WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:10.720 DTSD Webinars: Just a reminder to state your name when making comments for the for the record. We will start with a roll call. Can we just go around the room. 2 00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:15.860 DTSD Webinars: Sure. Jason Reich Center Administration, Josh Chizek, board Member 3 00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:23.209 DTSD Webinars: Tracy, Royo Board, Member Stacey Winslow, Superintendent Stuart Mccarver, Board, Member Matt Bixler, community member. 4 00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:30.830 DTSD Webinars: Donna Griffith, Citizen Advisor Michelle Ag. Board secretary. Thank you. And I don't have anybody online. So 5 00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:39.110 DTSD Webinars: we will get started 1st part is to approval of the summary minutes from last time can I get a 6 00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:42.669 DTSD Webinars: motion to approve the summary minutes? So moved Tracy. Royal. 7 00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:44.390 DTSD Webinars: Second stormal cover. 8 00:00:45.446 --> 00:00:48.710 DTSD Webinars: All those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 9 00:00:49.460 --> 00:01:00.219 DTSD Webinars: Okay. So now we'll move on to unfinished business. And the the 1st one we have up there is policy 823, which is opioid antagonist. And 10 00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:20.730 DTSD Webinars: this was on hold. Because we need to get feedback from the solicitor. Is that correct? Yeah, I wasn't at the last meeting. So my understanding was, this is a policy that the committee, when it reviewed by our solicitor in order to make any short sort of recommendation. So if you looked on Friday evening 11 00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:37.260 DTSD Webinars: the revisions from the solicitor weren't there. So I don't want you to think. Hey, listen, I'm losing my mind. I didn't see this on on Friday. We just got the feedback earlier today. So the second attachment is the feedback from our solicitor and Dr. Winslow, you can chime in. 12 00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:53.900 DTSD Webinars: but pretty much my understanding is, listen, if there's nothing that would prohibit a faculty member from administering the drug. So if you're going to move in this direction, they would recommend using the attached language, also putting the 13 00:01:53.940 --> 00:02:12.570 DTSD Webinars: the actual narcan or naloxone, whatever we use at the time in the same devices. We house our aeds. You know, and then also to to train staff. As well our designated staff, you know, from an administrator standpoint standpoint. I still have reservations on that like. 14 00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:31.189 DTSD Webinars: There's another training that we need to administer annually. And then how do we sign off on that? Not saying that's not a reason not to do it, but someone who houses clearances all the time that that still is a concern of mine, knowing that anyone can administer Narcan anyways. 15 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.780 DTSD Webinars: So yeah, I think, as we discussed this Joshua, we discussed last time, we thought what was the advantage of having this when the nurses. 16 00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:44.500 DTSD Webinars: It's already available through the nurse office, and it's something that 17 00:02:45.870 --> 00:02:51.180 DTSD Webinars: can be readily gotten or administered by a trained 18 00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:58.030 DTSD Webinars: nurse. Right? And also, if someone as a private citizen can also administer it right? 19 00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:01.299 DTSD Webinars: So what does this policy really? 20 00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:05.360 DTSD Webinars: What would this? 21 00:03:05.510 --> 00:03:07.060 DTSD Webinars: How would this benefit us? 22 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:19.540 DTSD Webinars: I'm not sure that it necessarily does benefit us outside of what we already have in place. It would require us to do 23 00:03:19.730 --> 00:03:22.220 DTSD Webinars: a little bit more, and to have 24 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.370 DTSD Webinars: more storage spaces throughout each building. 25 00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:32.160 DTSD Webinars: So where is this is coming from? Pspa to to add this, yes. 26 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:56.759 DTSD Webinars: yeah. So this this policy was gee, I don't remember when it initially came out, but it came out a while ago, and at the time, you know, we we did not move it forward. There was this, a recent revision that was made. And that's why you're seeing it again. So one of the things that we try to do is make sure that you see the policies, or at least talk about it in a policy agenda planning meeting 27 00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:09.870 DTSD Webinars: like here are the changes. Here are the policies. We don't have this policy, but a revision was made, so hence, hey, it's another time to review it again to make a decision. Do we want it, or do we don't want right? So what would be the position of the administration? 28 00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:15.000 DTSD Webinars: We have reservations about it? It's 29 00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:19.650 DTSD Webinars: one to Jason's point, like, if. 30 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:23.359 DTSD Webinars: like under the solicitor solicitor's advice. If we 31 00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:38.870 DTSD Webinars: put this policy in place, then their recommendation is that all the faculty who could potentially administer it are trained. So that's training for that'd be all of them. I mean all of them all the faculty. Exactly. So. That's training for everybody is that 32 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.110 DTSD Webinars: I mean. 33 00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:49.680 DTSD Webinars: this is a very benign and lifesaving drug. And that's and that was the other thing that the solicitor said. Like 34 00:04:50.690 --> 00:04:55.040 DTSD Webinars: like to also to make sure that there's language in here that someone could 35 00:04:55.613 --> 00:05:05.239 DTSD Webinars: and they did put it in that someone could administer it under good faith, thinking that that's what had happened, knowing that this isn't going to cause harm 36 00:05:05.510 --> 00:05:11.839 DTSD Webinars: should it be administered to someone who was maybe having a seizure and not and opioid overdose? 37 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.019 DTSD Webinars: Yes, this is Stuart Mccarver. Come in. 38 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.500 DTSD Webinars: I think that we should minimize barriers between 39 00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:24.900 DTSD Webinars: having it available and using it. 40 00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:27.350 DTSD Webinars: I. 41 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:35.860 DTSD Webinars: So when the solicitor, you know, brought up that like a seizure disorder, for example, my fear. Knowing 42 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:43.390 DTSD Webinars: teachers and staff, and having lots of people be responsible for a particular thing, or looking for a particular thing. 43 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:50.320 DTSD Webinars: and knowing that right now, if there's a medical emergency, they immediately contact the nurse, or 9 1 1, if if needed. 44 00:05:51.290 --> 00:05:58.520 DTSD Webinars: I would not like to see minutes wasted for a student who's having a seizure while a teacher 45 00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:04.300 DTSD Webinars: inadvertently administers Narcan instead of calling somebody for help. 46 00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:09.160 DTSD Webinars: And that's an extreme example. I know that 47 00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:12.759 DTSD Webinars: while also these are the things that run through our heads, of 48 00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:30.510 DTSD Webinars: what? What's really going to happen with this? And what might it look like, Dr. Winslow? But just to reiterate it is available, and anybody could administer it in good faith. Correct? Yes. How would that work, if is it in the? It's in the nurse's nurse office? So so Faculty could go and get it. 49 00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:40.230 DTSD Webinars: They would probably call the nurse. Yeah, they would call the nurse to come, get it, and and probably the nurse would do an evaluation. Is this what we're seeing? And in this case it'd be stored with 50 00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:45.979 DTSD Webinars: with the Aed Aed. So still someone would have to get it, someone would still have to go get it. Yeah. 51 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:56.789 DTSD Webinars: Donna Griffith, so is the concern. Putting the language in the policy mandates. The teachers need to be trained to use it. 52 00:06:57.020 --> 00:07:10.670 DTSD Webinars: whereas we're saying, no one needs to be trained to use it right now in the public. So if we leave it out of the policy. We can still have Narcan on site with the Aeds wherever they are, and anyone could administer it 53 00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:12.350 DTSD Webinars: without concern 54 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:22.550 DTSD Webinars: if needed. It would be in the nursing, it would be in the nurse's office. It wouldn't be where we have it now carts with, like the athletic trainers. 55 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:27.889 DTSD Webinars: correct, but they might. The athletic trainers already carry it. Anyhow, they already have it. Yeah. 56 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:35.410 DTSD Webinars: I, personally don't feel that it should be in the policy. If it's upholding staff 57 00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:37.489 DTSD Webinars: training that is not necessary. 58 00:07:41.350 --> 00:07:47.709 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, I mean, I I was just sharing our thinking, but it is board policy. So it's your decision. 59 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:54.389 DTSD Webinars: That's and we'll do what needs to be done. If if you want to put this into policy. 60 00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:57.079 DTSD Webinars: I mean, I see it as a pub. That's 61 00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:04.810 DTSD Webinars: it's a policy that's addressing something that's not a problem. This is the way it reads it to me, because it's something that's already available 62 00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:16.740 DTSD Webinars: and already can be administered. And without, is there a emergency happening. 63 00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:21.600 DTSD Webinars: Kind of policy. Yes, and that should already say. 64 00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:24.870 DTSD Webinars: call 9 1 1. Yes, do other stuff. Yes. 65 00:08:26.590 --> 00:08:33.320 DTSD Webinars: And yeah. Cause I saw there later in it. That's the cardiac arrest. I saw that. 66 00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:35.260 DTSD Webinars: May not 67 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:55.910 DTSD Webinars: the lawyers think that having this requires, then everybody to get trained, the solicitor, we we table this to get solicitor advice. The solicitor's advice is that if we're going to implement this policy, then we should have language in it that staff are trained. 68 00:08:57.390 --> 00:08:59.140 DTSD Webinars: I guess, on the flip side, is it? 69 00:08:59.930 --> 00:09:03.910 DTSD Webinars: I mean, other than an additional cost? 70 00:09:04.270 --> 00:09:10.210 DTSD Webinars: Time to train? Is it necessarily bad to have all the faculty trained to give Narcan 71 00:09:12.450 --> 00:09:26.319 DTSD Webinars: to meet. This is Tracy, where I worry that if you then train everybody, and then there's a mistake. It opens you up to more problems. That would be my concern. There is a part of it. There is a there is a good faith clause in here that like 72 00:09:26.630 --> 00:09:40.289 DTSD Webinars: because and again to to Stewart's Point. Sorry Dr. Mccarver's point, and the solicitor made the same point. It is a relatively benign like. It's not going to hurt you if it is administered when you don't need it. 73 00:09:41.058 --> 00:09:48.160 DTSD Webinars: But what if something else could be happening instead in time? That's where I like, and and I know that's a 74 00:09:49.220 --> 00:10:06.740 DTSD Webinars: I feel like I'm being like the staff. When I say that I've been a teacher. Then you're trying to make a decision about medicine when you don't really know that much about it. So, but you do have a training. But so I'm on the fence also, and 75 00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:21.219 DTSD Webinars: that it might lead to more confusion that that's probably my, that's my trepidation. But again, we can make this work like, if if it's a thing that you think is the right thing to do, we can make it work. 76 00:10:23.490 --> 00:10:26.030 DTSD Webinars: So you're saying, this is a thing 77 00:10:26.470 --> 00:10:31.269 DTSD Webinars: we can make this work, as in implementing the policy versus not correct. 78 00:10:32.570 --> 00:10:35.630 DTSD Webinars: Feel like that's just adds complication 79 00:10:35.890 --> 00:10:38.619 DTSD Webinars: when there's a standing order by the State 80 00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:49.910 DTSD Webinars: to have narcan available and do that and given the prevalence of opioid overdoses and things that like 81 00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:52.699 DTSD Webinars: like in a situation where it would be needed. 82 00:10:52.810 --> 00:11:03.210 DTSD Webinars: It's important to have it on like everyone who gets prescribed. An opioid should have a narcan with it. 83 00:11:03.380 --> 00:11:04.250 DTSD Webinars: So 84 00:11:04.350 --> 00:11:13.609 DTSD Webinars: I guess I just feel like anything that puts a barrier towards that, or makes someone pause or requires training and then make someone second, guess it like kind of removes. 85 00:11:16.350 --> 00:11:21.619 DTSD Webinars: the ability to do it. So I just don't understand why we would need it 86 00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:26.319 DTSD Webinars: like why why we would complicate it by implementing this 87 00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:33.570 DTSD Webinars: other than nurses and athletic trainers. Is there 1st responder training for the staff? 88 00:11:34.970 --> 00:11:42.329 DTSD Webinars: To not not staff wide? No. Is there emergency response training 89 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:50.660 DTSD Webinars: for the administration. There is for the staff. There is annual epipen training 90 00:11:50.890 --> 00:11:52.981 DTSD Webinars: that they have to do. 91 00:11:53.530 --> 00:12:03.120 DTSD Webinars: There is a an overview of emergency response expectations for different standard response protocols 92 00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:06.429 DTSD Webinars: is reviewed with the staff every year. 93 00:12:06.550 --> 00:12:13.149 DTSD Webinars: In that training is the knowledge that there is 94 00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:32.530 DTSD Webinars: Naloxone in with the Aeds made public right now it is not in with the Aeds. Oh, that was only going to be. If we implemented this this Josh, if we implemented this policy it was going to be included with the Aeds. But right now it's in the nurse's office, and the athletic trainers have it. Yes. 95 00:12:35.150 --> 00:12:44.890 DTSD Webinars: let's say there is a school function in the evening, and the nurse office isn't open, and I would. 96 00:12:45.360 --> 00:13:00.199 DTSD Webinars: I think it's probably a good idea to have it with the ads. Can we not have it with the Aeds without having this policy? No, we can still put. We can still store some with the Aeds. I would put it with the Aeds. 97 00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:05.190 DTSD Webinars: been this policy, and include in the training knowledge. 98 00:13:05.380 --> 00:13:15.779 DTSD Webinars: Hey? There is Naloxone available in the same container that the ad is in. We could do that. This is Tracy Royo. What would happen currently if 99 00:13:16.770 --> 00:13:20.080 DTSD Webinars: this week, at an event at night? 100 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:25.190 DTSD Webinars: There was an an emergency of that sort. What would then happen? 101 00:13:25.780 --> 00:13:29.530 DTSD Webinars: They're maybe 102 00:13:30.302 --> 00:13:40.219 DTSD Webinars: we would. We be relying on individuals having something like that? Well, we know we'd be calling 9 1 1 or and and it's it's I'm not sure that 103 00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:50.540 DTSD Webinars: a staff member or a lay person would necessarily recognize an overdose in that 104 00:13:50.920 --> 00:14:00.779 DTSD Webinars: without medical examination, like. I know my sister as a nurse has recognized it like she saw someone she's like. That's that's a heroin Slump. And I was like, what is a heroin. Slump 105 00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:11.779 DTSD Webinars: is not what that is. But I don't know that our teaching staff or parent chaperones would necessarily recognize 106 00:14:12.180 --> 00:14:18.479 DTSD Webinars: a drug overdose. And that's sort of the key is, you don't necessarily need to 107 00:14:19.560 --> 00:14:23.220 DTSD Webinars: train our staff in using it. 108 00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:27.930 DTSD Webinars: The assumption is somebody there will know 109 00:14:28.090 --> 00:14:35.239 DTSD Webinars: what to do and how to use it. The staff just need to know where it is 110 00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:40.329 DTSD Webinars: is there if it start with a is there currently ad training or 111 00:14:40.750 --> 00:14:47.389 DTSD Webinars: no? So there's right? So I mean, it's it's the same thing. It's I know. That's what I mean. So it's like the same thing, right? Yeah. 112 00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:53.730 DTSD Webinars: But you have to recognize that they need an Aed right? Right? So it's the same kind of thing 113 00:14:54.290 --> 00:14:58.310 DTSD Webinars: right? But it's much less benign, right? Right 114 00:14:59.890 --> 00:15:02.549 DTSD Webinars: like, if you don't need it. It's like drinking water 115 00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:05.619 DTSD Webinars: drinking a what if you it's like drinking water? 116 00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:15.739 DTSD Webinars: Oh, if you do need it, it saves a life. Yeah for Naloxone. Yes, not for the Aed for an Aed. You could put it on somebody, and they could 117 00:15:15.930 --> 00:15:25.300 DTSD Webinars: possibly like. It's safer to administer Naloxone when it's not needed than an epipen. Yes, yes, so right, take it right. 118 00:15:26.050 --> 00:15:31.369 DTSD Webinars: So, having it available throughout the buildings would be the key. Yes, we can do that 119 00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:37.320 DTSD Webinars: without this policy, without the policy. So I think we're all kind of in agreement to 120 00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:53.110 DTSD Webinars: to push this to, to, not to move forward with. This policy is that this is a current policy, or this is a policy that came from Psba to to look at and consider. But we do not currently have this in policy. 121 00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:59.379 DTSD Webinars: So do we. 122 00:15:59.690 --> 00:16:01.760 DTSD Webinars: If we're not moving forward with it? Do we 123 00:16:02.130 --> 00:16:12.940 DTSD Webinars: vote or anything we do? We take make a motion to not move it forward. Okay, so can I get a motion to not move policy a. 23 opioid antagonists 124 00:16:13.590 --> 00:16:14.460 DTSD Webinars: along. 125 00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:17.219 DTSD Webinars: So move Stuart Mccart. 126 00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:19.070 DTSD Webinars: Second, Tracy Royal. 127 00:16:19.380 --> 00:16:21.510 DTSD Webinars: All those in favor. Aye. 128 00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:30.470 DTSD Webinars: okay, so we are not moving forward with policy. 8, 23, just for the record. I was gonna say, Lindsey Drew has joined the meeting. Now? 129 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:39.370 DTSD Webinars: so then, we move on to Policy 2, 10, and is that similar to updates from the solicitor? So 130 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:48.330 DTSD Webinars: so this policy was only modified or revised. If the committee or the Board approved 8, 23, or the changes 131 00:16:48.520 --> 00:17:02.340 DTSD Webinars: recommended for 8, 2, 3, so, as it currently reads, Dr. Winslow you can chime in. But there would be no recommended revisions to the policy, because the committee decided not to move forward with 8, 2, 3, 132 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:24.729 DTSD Webinars: and that would be similar to the next 2 policies as well. So then, do we not even need to bring it up for discussion or vote on it? Does it just? Or I mean knowing that you you tabled the last time? We probably should. At least, does anyone see any any changes? Just to make sure. So yeah, does anybody see any changes on policy? 2, 10 133 00:17:24.770 --> 00:17:37.660 DTSD Webinars: But the changes that are in there will not be implemented. Right? So it's the only existing 210. Correct. So if I can remember right, the 200 series were up for review last time, so we should still move it forward for 134 00:17:39.210 --> 00:17:44.350 DTSD Webinars: to to the board, agenda for review as for approval, as it essentially reviewed. 135 00:17:44.490 --> 00:17:59.020 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, this even says in there, right a district employee was this added a district employee made administer, yeah. So this was added, as of this morning, just to let let you see what the solicitor was recommending, we would actually go with the the 1st attachment, which has no no changes. 136 00:17:59.820 --> 00:18:03.500 DTSD Webinars: If there's a 1st attachment, there's a 1st attachment 137 00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:09.290 DTSD Webinars: there. There is the 210 use of medications. That's the one that we would just move forward to the Board for review. 138 00:18:13.870 --> 00:18:18.930 DTSD Webinars: So we're actually looking at it. I mean the changes 139 00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:26.050 DTSD Webinars: in the event of emergency. A district employee may administer medication when he or she believes in good faith that a student needs emergency care. 140 00:18:26.270 --> 00:18:35.489 DTSD Webinars: I mean, is that something we want, anyway, even if we're not approving the market. Yeah, it's currently in there. Oh, it's currently in there. Oh, I'm sorry I just saw it highlighted in here. I must have. That was my mistake. 141 00:18:39.010 --> 00:18:40.180 DTSD Webinars: So then. 142 00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:46.229 DTSD Webinars: if there's no one that has any updates to policy, 2, 10 use of medications? Can I get a 143 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:54.170 DTSD Webinars: a motion to not move forward with any changes on policy? 2, 10. In light of us tabling or not passing policy. 23. 144 00:18:54.290 --> 00:18:55.900 DTSD Webinars: So move Tracy Royo. 145 00:18:56.660 --> 00:19:07.090 DTSD Webinars: Second, Stuart, will cover those in favor. Aye, just out of curiosity. Don't we also just need to have the approval for review. Yeah. 146 00:19:07.450 --> 00:19:08.939 DTSD Webinars: Approve for you. Sorry. 147 00:19:09.170 --> 00:19:13.789 DTSD Webinars: So we're approving to review the policy. 2, 1210, and then. 148 00:19:14.370 --> 00:19:16.910 DTSD Webinars: without the changes that are indicated. 149 00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:19.869 DTSD Webinars: correct the the 1st attachment. Gotcha. 150 00:19:20.310 --> 00:19:27.229 DTSD Webinars: Okay? So on. Policy 2 10.1 field trip medications. No one. Does anybody have any 151 00:19:27.890 --> 00:19:29.059 DTSD Webinars: comments on that? 152 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:38.181 DTSD Webinars: Okay, can I get a motion to move policy to 10.1 forward for review without the 153 00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:40.850 DTSD Webinars: changes due to policy 23. 154 00:19:41.560 --> 00:19:48.310 DTSD Webinars: So moved Lindsey drew second Stuart carver all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 155 00:19:49.050 --> 00:20:00.760 DTSD Webinars: Okay. Now we move to policy. 2 10.2. Possession. Use of asthma inhalers, epinephrine auto injectors. And this is the same thing, right? There's no 156 00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:06.359 DTSD Webinars: yeah. So the solicitor didn't recommend any changes. This policy, regardless of of 8, 2, 3. 157 00:20:08.890 --> 00:20:15.720 DTSD Webinars: Does anybody have any comments or recommended changes to policy. 2 10.2, 158 00:20:18.340 --> 00:20:26.090 DTSD Webinars: I see, and none can I get a motion to move policy 210.2 forward for review. So move Tracy Royal, second, Stewart Mccarver. 159 00:20:26.280 --> 00:20:29.730 DTSD Webinars: All those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 160 00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:39.039 DTSD Webinars: Okay. So we move policy to 10.2 forward for Board Review. So now we move into. So that was the end. Those are the policies that were held over from previous meeting. 161 00:20:40.790 --> 00:20:45.430 DTSD Webinars: And I guess now we're gonna get into revised policies. And the 1st one we have up there 162 00:20:45.560 --> 00:21:01.430 DTSD Webinars: is student represent policy 0 0 4.1 student representatives to the School Board. And this policy is being updated at before it was 2 2 representatives and alternate just to move forward with just 3 representatives. 163 00:21:01.590 --> 00:21:05.559 DTSD Webinars: So yeah, so this matches. Oh, go ahead. This matches our current practice. 164 00:21:05.690 --> 00:21:10.646 DTSD Webinars: Yes, so when we went through the process this year, we identified that. 165 00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:15.650 DTSD Webinars: we had expanded pre so previously. It was 2 166 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:24.099 DTSD Webinars: student representatives and an alternate our practice. The last couple of years has been to just a point 3, and if they're all able to attend, they can 167 00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:45.950 DTSD Webinars: just for the ease and scheduling, and to provide as much opportunity as many students as possible. So this language just reflects those changes, as well as just clarifying the makeup of the Selection Committee to make it a little bit more generic, based on availability and members of the administration or board who are able to attend 168 00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:50.460 DTSD Webinars: great. So is there any further comment? 169 00:21:52.400 --> 00:22:00.550 DTSD Webinars: Okay, can I get a motion to move policy 0 0 4.1 forward to the Board for review. So moved Lindsey drew seconds. 170 00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:06.459 DTSD Webinars: Second, Tracy arroyo, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 171 00:22:06.810 --> 00:22:11.640 DTSD Webinars: Okay, so policy 0 0 4.1 will be moved forward for Board Review. 172 00:22:11.790 --> 00:22:30.709 DTSD Webinars: Our next policy is policy 0 0 6 meetings. And this is to clarify that there'll just be 2 meetings per month, not specifically the 1st and the 3rd or sorry, second and 4, th because sometimes we have to move them around right for scheduling purposes. Correct. I made this recommendation because 173 00:22:32.380 --> 00:22:58.529 DTSD Webinars: I don't think it's Earth shattering to not do it, but given that the way the calendar has fallen the last couple of years we've had more than like a quarter of the meetings that have not fallen on the second and 4th Monday. So to just clean up this language and allow for the opportunity for the Board to approve and schedule meeting dates. That work with the business of the Board that needs to be conducted at different times during the year. Removing. This just seems to make the most sense. 174 00:22:59.270 --> 00:23:12.989 DTSD Webinars: This is Tracy Royo. I just grammatically board meeting dates. Meeting dates is one where there needs to be a space, and then at the end by the full board, and then there's a double space. The during spring of each year. 175 00:23:16.190 --> 00:23:21.119 DTSD Webinars: I think it should be by the full board during the spring of each year. 176 00:23:21.540 --> 00:23:22.690 DTSD Webinars: Isn't that what it says? 177 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:29.590 DTSD Webinars: Where is this? The enduring mine, says the full board the during spring. Yeah. 178 00:23:30.810 --> 00:23:36.839 DTSD Webinars: so it's just it's just a small thing. This is put during the spring during the spring. 179 00:23:37.020 --> 00:23:41.980 DTSD Webinars: and meeting dates is one where that should be, too. Yes, I wonder if that's just 180 00:23:42.330 --> 00:23:54.649 DTSD Webinars: in my Pdf form that I said. It doesn't do that, but it's probably a conversion. Yeah, it could be. I'll make sure those are just yeah. I don't think that should hold up moving forward with him. Just 181 00:23:55.390 --> 00:23:56.310 DTSD Webinars: good catch. 182 00:23:59.110 --> 00:24:03.549 DTSD Webinars: Okay, is there any further discussion on policy? 0, 0, 6 meetings? 183 00:24:05.150 --> 00:24:10.060 DTSD Webinars: And can I get a motion to move policy 0 0 6, 4 for the to the Board for Review. 184 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.820 DTSD Webinars: Don't move. Lindsey drew second Tracy Royo. All those in favor. Aye, any opposed. 185 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:21.390 DTSD Webinars: Okay. So, policy 0 0 6 meetings is gonna move forward the full board for review. 186 00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:29.770 DTSD Webinars: Our next policy is policy 1 1 13.3 screening and evaluations for students with disabilities. 187 00:24:30.290 --> 00:24:42.099 DTSD Webinars: Yeah. So just one small well, couple of small changes, one to spell out what iep means the 1st time it's used, and then secondly, to remove the language within 10 188 00:24:42.620 --> 00:25:00.199 DTSD Webinars: school days to upon receipt and unnecessary delay. But the second change was recommended by our solicitor. The other one was just a board member saying, Hey, listen! I think this makes sense, and I agree with that as well, and that would be to define what an Iep is in the policy. 189 00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:23.019 DTSD Webinars: What prompted the solicitor to come forward and say, I'm changing it from nothing I don't know. This was provided to us from our directors of special Ed, saying, Listen! When we met with our solicitor. You know this was a I don't know if they proposed it to to her, or she proposed it to them. But it was. The recommendation from was 10 was 10 school days like a 190 00:25:24.040 --> 00:25:34.950 DTSD Webinars: requirement at any point or just by law. It's not by law. Otherwise any comments on this policy. 191 00:25:35.560 --> 00:25:45.890 DTSD Webinars: This is Donna Griffith. I would like to understand the reasoning for getting rid of the 10 days. I feel that the school should have some accountability and a response time. If a family is asking 192 00:25:46.100 --> 00:25:56.399 DTSD Webinars: for an Iep evaluation, not saying the Iep evaluation must take place, but a response within a certain amount of time doesn't seem like a big ask from a parent's perspective. 193 00:25:57.890 --> 00:26:02.210 DTSD Webinars: This isn't asking for an Iep meeting. It's asking 194 00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:15.560 DTSD Webinars: for an independent educational evaluation. So that's having someone outside. Yes, right? Because they're allowed one. If they get right they can. They can request one if they don't agree with the schools. 195 00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:24.689 DTSD Webinars: The district's Iep findings right? They can request to have an independent they yes, they can. And so what this is saying is that 196 00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:38.969 DTSD Webinars: without unnecessary delay, which means we would be consulting our solicitor in this case if we were going to consider filing due process. But these are the the steps that the district could take should we receive that request. 197 00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:46.199 DTSD Webinars: So this is this is outside of the normal request for an Iep evaluation, so no way would this 198 00:26:46.350 --> 00:26:49.950 DTSD Webinars: delay a student getting an Iep evaluation? 199 00:26:50.370 --> 00:26:51.100 DTSD Webinars: No. 200 00:26:52.990 --> 00:27:01.590 DTSD Webinars: and just for clarification, this is Tracy Orio. So the school district would pay for one independent educational evaluation 201 00:27:02.050 --> 00:27:10.199 DTSD Webinars: outside of the school if it meets these certain certain requirements. Yes, okay, thank you. 202 00:27:11.890 --> 00:27:14.909 DTSD Webinars: So what's the process for that? So if there, someone 203 00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:18.849 DTSD Webinars: requested it, then you go through the solicitor and see if they met 204 00:27:19.570 --> 00:27:30.979 DTSD Webinars: all the criteria that's required. If there's something like this happening, there's probably some sort of disagreement between what the district is recommending and what the family would like to see. 205 00:27:31.130 --> 00:27:32.330 DTSD Webinars: And so 206 00:27:33.030 --> 00:27:39.990 DTSD Webinars: there's probably already been solicitor involvement to some degree, just to keep them up to date and informed, 207 00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:48.230 DTSD Webinars: and yeah, so yes. 208 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:56.860 DTSD Webinars: to answer your question, if we get something like this. Yes, we would be, and especially if it was a surprise we would certainly be 209 00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:58.919 DTSD Webinars: including our solicitor Gotcha. 210 00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:03.839 DTSD Webinars: Alright! Do we have any further discussion? 211 00:28:06.520 --> 00:28:14.200 DTSD Webinars: And can I get a motion to move forward with the changes on policy 1 1 1 13.3 forward to the to the full board. 212 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:17.799 DTSD Webinars: So move Stuart. Recover. 213 00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:22.490 DTSD Webinars: Second, Tracy Royal all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 214 00:28:23.250 --> 00:28:32.559 DTSD Webinars: Okay, so, policy 1 13.3 will move forward to the board. Our next policy is policy 2, 34, pregnant parenting and married students. 215 00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:44.997 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, so these are policy or recommended changes based on a culmination of the title. 9 regulations going back to 2020. So 216 00:28:46.890 --> 00:29:07.140 DTSD Webinars: pretty much all I have to say about it. These I mean some of the 2024 regulations put into a lot more, a lot more detail. What schools are required to do, or employers were required to do so. It's just shifting those back. I don't want to say students or individuals lose their rights because they still have rights. It's just not as spelled out and it's defined. 217 00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:15.490 DTSD Webinars: So the large one is taking out the title Ix coordinator throughout the policy, but 218 00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:19.635 DTSD Webinars: correct, correct. Sorry this Josh, as a 219 00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:24.810 DTSD Webinars: This is Tracy Royo in practice. Would this. 220 00:29:24.990 --> 00:29:32.700 DTSD Webinars: although that language is taken out about the title 9 coordinator in practice, would it still play out? Generally the same way? 221 00:29:32.850 --> 00:29:34.290 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, absolutely. 222 00:30:00.060 --> 00:30:06.390 DTSD Webinars: So we're still saying that reasonable modifications need to be made. 223 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.549 DTSD Webinars: It's just really just not in regards to a title. Ix coordinator. 224 00:30:14.070 --> 00:30:17.369 DTSD Webinars: Does anybody have any comments on this and the changes to this policy? 225 00:30:23.390 --> 00:30:30.540 DTSD Webinars: And is there a reason you took out the definitions just because it's cited in a in a school code. They were the recommendations, Gotcha. 226 00:30:38.190 --> 00:30:43.110 DTSD Webinars: when it seems to me that the definition of pregnancy or related conditions 227 00:30:44.110 --> 00:30:53.820 DTSD Webinars: isn't really dependent on title 9, right? It is what it is, the definitions. 228 00:30:54.420 --> 00:31:01.269 DTSD Webinars: So I'm not sure if we should take take out that part. 229 00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:05.029 DTSD Webinars: Personally, I don't know if anybody has any other comments about it. 230 00:31:22.390 --> 00:31:28.000 DTSD Webinars: Think that. Yeah? Well, and and here's where I see the the big difference is that 231 00:31:28.190 --> 00:31:36.300 DTSD Webinars: in the definitions where it's being removed, title Ix at the Federal level had added in termination of pregnancy. 232 00:31:36.510 --> 00:31:40.140 DTSD Webinars: and that is not in the regular pregnancy, definition. 233 00:31:40.620 --> 00:31:49.050 DTSD Webinars: So what did the what did they add in the under number one, the pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy or lactation? 234 00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:55.750 DTSD Webinars: Oh, I see. Yeah. So so under the the new Regs. Go back to the old Regs, and if you notice that 235 00:31:56.120 --> 00:32:02.990 DTSD Webinars: allows each State, or at least our state to define what that means so pregnancy is now just defined in State 236 00:32:03.380 --> 00:32:04.740 DTSD Webinars: regulations. 237 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:11.479 DTSD Webinars: Right? So in the State code in Pennsylvania Code, pregnancy is defined 238 00:32:12.630 --> 00:32:32.800 DTSD Webinars: per the reference link as includes all of the following use of assisted reproductive technology, the state of being in gestation, childbirth, breastfeeding, the postpartum period after childbirth and medical conditions related to pregnancy. So it's just reverting it back to the State's definition and not the expanded definition that was in the Federal Updates. 239 00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:38.369 DTSD Webinars: Gotcha to include termination. But is there anything to stop us from having the expanded definition? 240 00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:44.239 DTSD Webinars: That's something we would want to keep. 241 00:32:45.990 --> 00:32:53.899 DTSD Webinars: But it is everything in the expanded definition under our State's definition. So my only pause on that is. 242 00:32:54.030 --> 00:33:05.280 DTSD Webinars: you know. So you we're removing the title 9 Coordinator language, which is supposed to be like the safe spot for for people to go to. And now you're including some of those definitions where. 243 00:33:05.710 --> 00:33:08.929 DTSD Webinars: if there's no title, 9 coordinator coordinating all this. 244 00:33:09.410 --> 00:33:12.790 DTSD Webinars: you know who who right. Who are they going to? Right? Okay. 245 00:33:14.130 --> 00:33:27.150 DTSD Webinars: to say, Hey, listen. I I had this experience. Now I want these reasonable accommodations. Right? So who will they go to without this. Well, back to Dr. Winslow's point, and it's pretty obvious when 246 00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:35.639 DTSD Webinars: someone is expecting might be not so obvious if they've terminated terminated and pregnant right. 247 00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:37.950 DTSD Webinars: which is also something that I would 248 00:33:39.550 --> 00:33:44.449 DTSD Webinars: think would be highly unlikely. Someone would share with us in any regard. 249 00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:46.929 DTSD Webinars: Would they share with it 250 00:33:47.170 --> 00:33:53.469 DTSD Webinars: with the title 9 Coordinator. No, but but if someone becomes aware they would, they would share that. 251 00:33:57.130 --> 00:34:13.110 DTSD Webinars: I'm confused language we should take out. Oh, I see, let's say, a teacher becomes aware that teacher may reach out to the title 9. I see. Okay. And then the title 9 Coordinator would have to do their responsibilities and 252 00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:15.660 DTSD Webinars: make sure the student has reasonable accommodations. 253 00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:19.819 DTSD Webinars: I feel like, that's something that we want to have. 254 00:34:20.270 --> 00:34:24.060 DTSD Webinars: Well, there is no title. 9, yeah. Okay? 255 00:34:24.550 --> 00:34:30.750 DTSD Webinars: And ultimately the purpose of this is saying that we can't deny admission. So right? 256 00:34:32.370 --> 00:34:43.250 DTSD Webinars: I feel, like all of our other policies and practices, support that we would not deny admission to a student on the basis of them having terminated a pregnancy. 257 00:34:45.310 --> 00:34:57.030 DTSD Webinars: So, while I support the reason for why we would want to keep it. I think it complicates it to keep it, because then we are going outside the 258 00:34:57.180 --> 00:35:00.120 DTSD Webinars: scope of what's defined by 259 00:35:00.680 --> 00:35:08.830 DTSD Webinars: Pennsylvania law, since it's now pushed back to our definition in Pennsylvania as opposed to the Federal definitions that included the title Ix Coordinator. 260 00:35:09.510 --> 00:35:15.529 DTSD Webinars: I see it's cleaner that makes sense to remove it. Right that may. I'm I would agree with that. 261 00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:20.830 DTSD Webinars: So in light of that, is there any other comments on this? 262 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:31.409 DTSD Webinars: And can I get a motion to move policy to 234 pregnant parenting and married students onto the full board for review. 263 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:38.430 DTSD Webinars: So moved Lindsay drew second Stuart Mccarran. Say all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 264 00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:45.370 DTSD Webinars: Okay, so policy 2, 34 will move forward. Our next policy up is policy 3, 17 conduct 265 00:35:45.560 --> 00:35:47.480 DTSD Webinars: disciplinary procedures. 266 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:54.753 DTSD Webinars: Yeah. So there are a lot of changes made to this policy, as you can see. 267 00:35:55.450 --> 00:36:00.349 DTSD Webinars: The the notes were written in the the notes on agenda manager. 268 00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:07.550 DTSD Webinars: Primarily talking about investigative allegations 269 00:36:08.200 --> 00:36:10.240 DTSD Webinars: prior to the motion or dismissal. 270 00:36:10.700 --> 00:36:14.329 DTSD Webinars: and the responsibility of the superintendent to notify Pde. 271 00:36:14.950 --> 00:36:19.279 DTSD Webinars: That assert that an educator has a pending record of arrest. 272 00:36:41.690 --> 00:36:47.990 DTSD Webinars: So this this ensures that the employee is allowed that a full investigation has to be done right before 273 00:36:49.490 --> 00:36:53.259 DTSD Webinars: before any action is going to be taken but by the board, by the board. 274 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.790 DTSD Webinars: Gotcha. So so 275 00:36:56.840 --> 00:37:16.830 DTSD Webinars: so it doesn't change our practice. We still go through and do our louder mill hearings which we currently do in investigatory hearings. But anytime we were looking to take board action. They have a right to board board, hearing which they already do like. It doesn't change much for us. The one thing I would say and that we use very often in in my role outside of 276 00:37:16.830 --> 00:37:29.719 DTSD Webinars: organizing the policies is 13 other activities which are evidence of incompetence and temperance. But the second part of that other conduct deemed improper in the judgment of the Board or the superintendent 277 00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:32.100 DTSD Webinars: like we use that a lot. 278 00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:35.620 DTSD Webinars: So I would be cautious of. 279 00:37:36.150 --> 00:37:42.150 DTSD Webinars: Maybe we modify it just to include other activities. You know that the board, or the superintendent would 280 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.000 DTSD Webinars: be deemed improper. 281 00:37:46.140 --> 00:37:49.240 DTSD Webinars: But that's used quite often as a catch. All 282 00:37:51.140 --> 00:37:56.030 DTSD Webinars: is this list in here? What hazard? 283 00:37:56.160 --> 00:38:10.219 DTSD Webinars: Well, Psba is recommending the 1st 11, the ones that are in green, not necessarily 13. I will. But that's why I'm bring pointing that out like 13. The second part portion of that we use. We use a lot. Actually, the whole part of 13. I don't see what 284 00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:16.309 DTSD Webinars: yeah, I think would be wrong with keeping that. I mean, it's basically just 13 is pretty important. Yeah. 285 00:38:19.120 --> 00:38:32.060 DTSD Webinars: So what about 1212 moved up? Oh, 12 moved up. 13 is the only 1. 13 is the only one that wasn't consolidated or like renumbered. 286 00:38:33.910 --> 00:38:37.990 DTSD Webinars: I mean, I would be in favor of keeping 13. I don't see any reason. Oh. 287 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:43.969 DTSD Webinars: any reason not to keep it. This is Tracy Royal. I would agree on be fine keeping it. 288 00:38:46.670 --> 00:38:48.120 DTSD Webinars: So then we'd have 12. 289 00:38:48.620 --> 00:38:52.840 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, that'll become number 12. Yeah, so 290 00:38:54.140 --> 00:39:01.215 DTSD Webinars: do we want to make the change and bring it back for review, or just approve it, saying, with 12 with, I would just 291 00:39:02.150 --> 00:39:11.049 DTSD Webinars: do a motion to move to the full board with the inclusion of Number 12, like staying in there. 292 00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:18.290 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, okay, we have any other further discussion on, or 13, I guess, becoming 12 on policy 317. 293 00:39:19.170 --> 00:39:27.769 DTSD Webinars: Okay. In that case, can I get a motion to move policy? 3. 17. Conduct disciplinary procedures to the full board, with the understanding that the old Number 13 294 00:39:27.930 --> 00:39:32.539 DTSD Webinars: criteria will be brought back in as a new number 12. No move. Lindsey drew 295 00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:38.009 DTSD Webinars: seconds to recover. Okay, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 296 00:39:38.390 --> 00:39:41.579 DTSD Webinars: Okay. So we're gonna move policy 3, 17 to the board. 297 00:39:41.720 --> 00:39:45.570 DTSD Webinars: Next up is 3 17.1 educator misconduct. 298 00:39:46.836 --> 00:39:50.870 DTSD Webinars: This looks like the major changes just to remove about title 9. 299 00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:52.130 DTSD Webinars: That's correct. 300 00:39:58.470 --> 00:40:06.389 DTSD Webinars: and it's changing it from sex-based discrimination to sexual, sorry, sex-based discrimination, harassment to sexual harassment 301 00:40:10.100 --> 00:40:12.949 DTSD Webinars: title, 9 rollbacks are the gift they keep on giving. 302 00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:18.210 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, 303 00:40:22.810 --> 00:40:29.410 DTSD Webinars: so it's because we say, including title 9, sexual harassment. I mean. 304 00:40:30.110 --> 00:40:39.859 DTSD Webinars: can we say, sex-based discrimination and title Ix. Harassment, title Ix. Doesn't provide for sex-based discrimination, so I may not have it under the not have it under the title. Ix 305 00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:45.600 DTSD Webinars: say, including sex-based discrimination or title. Ix. Sexual harassment. 306 00:40:51.850 --> 00:40:57.873 DTSD Webinars: I would recommend not doing that just to stay consistent with your policies. Okay, hopefully, Cloudy. 307 00:40:58.370 --> 00:41:05.650 DTSD Webinars: do we also in the paragraph, under discrimination and harassment. It says the title and coordinator should be promptly notified. Do we? 308 00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:08.210 DTSD Webinars: We need to take that out right? There's no. 309 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:14.420 DTSD Webinars: So so that actually would stay. Okay. So it's still the person that title 9 310 00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:22.760 DTSD Webinars: things are reported to. It's just not the title. 9 coordinator in the scope of like what the pregnancy definition was anymore. That's correct. Okay, I see. Okay. 311 00:41:28.980 --> 00:41:31.660 DTSD Webinars: there's any more discussion on this policy. 312 00:41:34.590 --> 00:41:40.070 DTSD Webinars: Okay, I get a motion to move policy 3 17.1 educator misconduct forward to the 313 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:42.220 DTSD Webinars: full board for review. 314 00:41:42.490 --> 00:41:48.579 DTSD Webinars: So moved Tracy Royo, second Stewart, Mccart, all those in favor, aye, any opposed 315 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.490 DTSD Webinars: the policy. 3 17.1 will move forward to the board. 316 00:41:52.780 --> 00:41:59.740 DTSD Webinars: Next up we have policy, 3 20 freedom of speech and non school 317 00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:08.090 DTSD Webinars: settings which is now being changed to freedom of speech by employees, correct, correct. 318 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:13.800 DTSD Webinars: correct, and just. To make it easy, I just remove the old policy and put in all the language from the new policy 319 00:42:14.340 --> 00:42:17.410 DTSD Webinars: rather than trying to merge every everything together. 320 00:42:27.550 --> 00:42:31.435 DTSD Webinars: So this spells out reasons. 321 00:42:33.837 --> 00:42:40.419 DTSD Webinars: what employee speech could impact like a reasonable that would be considered a reasonable likelihood of disruption. 322 00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:45.250 DTSD Webinars: I don't know. 323 00:42:47.120 --> 00:42:55.910 DTSD Webinars: Is there a separate social media one? Or this includes social media? 324 00:42:58.060 --> 00:43:19.970 DTSD Webinars: Say more, because I. So we have policy 8, 2, 4, that you know, relationships with with students are maintaining a proper adult student boundaries that talk a little bit about social media. I don't believe, and I could be wrong, that there's 1 specific policy that just outlines everything. But we do have policies that that address, the proper use of 325 00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:25.769 DTSD Webinars: of of media. We do also have social media guidelines that were created 326 00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:42.380 DTSD Webinars: this point. It might be 2017 18 that was created jointly with the Administration, and both associations on on what you should and shouldn't do, and the reason we called them guidelines at the time instead of putting them into policy. You just can't keep up with it. 327 00:43:43.057 --> 00:43:47.620 DTSD Webinars: With social media. At least. What's there? What's 328 00:43:47.870 --> 00:43:52.740 DTSD Webinars: cool at the time may not be cool. Couple of weeks from now. 329 00:43:55.160 --> 00:44:05.090 DTSD Webinars: Where is the inability to say something as a teacher versus a 330 00:44:07.590 --> 00:44:20.950 DTSD Webinars: yeah. So that's where you go. You keep going back to your school solicitor, and you'll see on the notes like each one of those cases. At least, my experience in school always is really dependent on what what was said. 331 00:44:21.120 --> 00:44:34.289 DTSD Webinars: the platform that was used, and did they acknowledge the fact that they were representing their viewpoints? If they sign it? As you know Joe Smith dare times of school school teacher 332 00:44:35.970 --> 00:44:37.190 DTSD Webinars: that is 333 00:44:37.600 --> 00:44:59.550 DTSD Webinars: different than signing it. Joe Smith. Well, it depends. So that's why I'm saying it really depends. I mean, if everybody on Facebook knows that Joe Smith is a teacher, dairy, township school district, and they're talking about students in their classroom. That's why it's it's right. Or if they have information, if they're sharing information that would only be known inside of the capacity of their 334 00:45:01.220 --> 00:45:09.329 DTSD Webinars: it's it's tough, and that's why, tho those are the situations we're always like, okay, I'm picking up the phone. And I'm I'm asking for some guidance. 335 00:45:25.020 --> 00:45:32.740 DTSD Webinars: any more discussion on changes to this policy more pretty much new policy rewritten policy. 336 00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:42.990 DTSD Webinars: Okay, in that case, can I get a motion to move policy? 3, 20 freedom of speech by employees forward to the board. 337 00:45:43.780 --> 00:45:49.609 DTSD Webinars: So, Moose Stewart Mccarver, second one's adjourn all those in favor. Aye, any opposed? 338 00:45:50.540 --> 00:45:59.789 DTSD Webinars: Okay, so, policy 320, I'll move forward to the board. Last one we have in revised policies is policy, 718 service animals in school. 339 00:45:59.970 --> 00:46:20.710 DTSD Webinars: And this is updated right to remove, to specifically say things that the district may not ask about and also to add in considerations for miniature horses. Yes, please, that's what I said, I'm like I want. The miniatures are not as nice as they are. That's the problem. 340 00:46:23.460 --> 00:46:35.710 DTSD Webinars: That would be mad if it was like llamas. Alpacas! So just to be clear. Miniature horses were always allowed. It might have just not been written out in policy, but in code. Miniature horses were, they were always there 341 00:46:36.300 --> 00:46:39.680 DTSD Webinars: like that. It's in. I'm waiting for this. Have we ever had a miniature horse? 342 00:46:40.250 --> 00:47:10.189 DTSD Webinars: No, no, but I invite one. Can we put it in policy that we need. I'm an intro with Dr. Rice Snyder leaving. We can do whatever we want chickens as well. Being an ag teacher, I would not recommend a person 343 00:47:10.670 --> 00:47:15.589 DTSD Webinars: so other than the horse. It seems like it. It clears up 344 00:47:16.370 --> 00:47:20.440 DTSD Webinars: specifically what you're allowed to ask and not allowed to ask, as as 345 00:47:20.950 --> 00:47:25.610 DTSD Webinars: in regards to somebody's disability or their need for a service animal. Correct? Right? 346 00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:35.380 DTSD Webinars: This is Donna Griffith. My only question was, why is the district not allowed to ask for documentation regarding training of the app. 347 00:47:37.070 --> 00:47:45.409 DTSD Webinars: I do struggle with that a bit because you can buy those vests anywhere and stick it on any animal, and that is a concern. 348 00:47:45.930 --> 00:47:55.969 DTSD Webinars: Yeah. This is Tracy Royo. Another concern of mine is, what about students who have allergies that lead to asthma from animals. If they were within a classroom for, like 349 00:47:56.070 --> 00:48:00.879 DTSD Webinars: longer period of time with that animal they could have a reaction. 350 00:48:01.900 --> 00:48:03.929 DTSD Webinars: That would be my only thought on that. 351 00:48:04.470 --> 00:48:12.910 DTSD Webinars: Oh, I mean. But we're by requesting training documentation. Is that put on undue burden on 352 00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:18.520 DTSD Webinars: the student that requires the service animal that require 353 00:48:18.700 --> 00:48:23.360 DTSD Webinars: that document as opposed to the animal is just required to 354 00:48:25.090 --> 00:48:31.750 DTSD Webinars: behave in a certain manner right yeah. 355 00:48:36.640 --> 00:48:44.399 DTSD Webinars: sorry my guess is also, probably because there's not a standardized training that could be verified, so 356 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:51.420 DTSD Webinars: to be able to to qualify whether or not it was an acceptable training like there's not 357 00:48:51.700 --> 00:48:55.970 DTSD Webinars: anything to support that or or to use as the okay. Yes. 358 00:48:56.140 --> 00:49:03.399 DTSD Webinars: right? That's probably true. Because in medical translating I don't believe that there's actually a certificate. And so 359 00:49:04.150 --> 00:49:08.590 DTSD Webinars: like you'd have to have some governing body. And so 360 00:49:12.970 --> 00:49:21.282 DTSD Webinars: where did these recommendations come from? Psba? The good news is, it has not been an issue similar to 361 00:49:21.900 --> 00:49:32.519 DTSD Webinars: Naloxone or Narcan. It hasn't, hasn't we really haven't been hit with the request for a ton of miniature horses, so 362 00:49:32.730 --> 00:49:46.059 DTSD Webinars: no one and I would assume, as far as the allergy question, it would just kind of like the foods, you know, it would be an allergy, free environment in that classroom. Yeah. 363 00:49:47.190 --> 00:49:50.292 DTSD Webinars: so. And there when you go to the 364 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:58.389 DTSD Webinars: like the the law reference. On this there are places where, like 365 00:49:58.510 --> 00:50:15.420 DTSD Webinars: there are exceptions, the if the animals out of control, and the animal's handler doesn't take effective action to control it. The animal is not housebroken, so there are. There are definitely things in here. There's also like some additional pieces about inquiries. 366 00:50:18.910 --> 00:50:31.769 DTSD Webinars: the extra information about the miniature horse. I don't know how this became such a thing, because some legislator probably wanted their mini horse. It's it's been there for years, like the I'm I'm 367 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:47.589 DTSD Webinars: not making that up like the miniature horses has always been there just for whatever reason. Psba decided to call miniature horses out. There is the factor, but it's been there miniature horses, housebroken, and I would really like to know how the horse asks to go out. 368 00:50:53.060 --> 00:50:55.489 DTSD Webinars: Okay, do we have any other? 369 00:50:55.790 --> 00:51:01.809 DTSD Webinars: Do you have any other just like, how did I end up the chair of this 370 00:51:02.290 --> 00:51:05.690 DTSD Webinars: comments on on this policy. 371 00:51:06.080 --> 00:51:15.710 DTSD Webinars: And can I get a motion to move policy? 17718 service animals and schools forward to the Full Board for review, same as Stuart Mccarthy. 372 00:51:16.050 --> 00:51:20.219 DTSD Webinars: second Tracy Royo, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed 373 00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:45.209 DTSD Webinars: so remove policy. 718. So it looks like we are running out of times. Yeah. So we hit the reviewed policies. And I would just like to open it up if someone has a policy. Oh, sorry. Yeah. So 9, 18, we that's an annual review. So I went back and looked at our agendas. We normally do it in the fall. I missed it my mistake. But we do need to review that annually. So let's let's do this one. Okay, so can we look at 9, 18 title, one parent rental and 374 00:51:45.210 --> 00:51:51.570 DTSD Webinars: family engagement. And it's not. There are no changes, no. And the the reason for the review that's under 375 00:51:52.640 --> 00:52:22.030 DTSD Webinars: title. 9 regulations require the board to review it each year, and unfortunately, when we're talking about title, title, one and title the title programs that's done at a Federal level when the Federal level is considered policy something different than Pennsylvania does. So our policies go in front of a board. That's not the case in every State. So for us. Policy is is at the board level, and that's not always the case that in in every State, so we just put it on so we can show. Hey, listen, we did review it this past year. 376 00:52:22.190 --> 00:52:27.539 DTSD Webinars: So if you see it again in August, that's the reason, all right, because you have to do it every. Okay. 377 00:52:27.730 --> 00:52:36.520 DTSD Webinars: this is Tracy Royo. I just wanted more of a context of of all of this, though. Like, there's a lot of things about family engagement. And 378 00:52:36.560 --> 00:53:04.760 DTSD Webinars: yeah, this is all happening. And yeah, so part of the requirements for title one, if you receive over half a million dollars required to set aside so much money for family involvement at our level. So title one is really for students that the funding is generated from students who in our case are on free and reduced lunches. That's how the funding is driven. The actual money then, goes to support our reading. Specialists and math specialists 379 00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:09.590 DTSD Webinars: who provide support for our students who struggle in reading and math at the elementary level. 380 00:53:09.630 --> 00:53:26.290 DTSD Webinars: So that's that's where this comes from. The family engagement, then, is we have a family engagement night, Tracy in the fall, and also one in the spring, the fall one is mandated by programs, and the spring one is optional but highly encouraged. 381 00:53:26.290 --> 00:53:50.749 DTSD Webinars: So with this family engagement, money or compact, you can buy supplies for families to share, like maybe some reading books, maybe some books on how to help with math. Right? Not every year do we spend money on those resources, but we have those evening events, and that's why the requirement is to have citizens. And that's why our citizens are here to provide input at the building level. You also have to have building level. 382 00:53:50.760 --> 00:54:02.010 DTSD Webinars: The same thing happens at the building level. And that's really where the changes are made, because we want our parents who are actually participating in the programs to drive the program on how funds are spent. So this is more of a high level. 383 00:54:02.520 --> 00:54:10.790 DTSD Webinars: right? I noticed that they talked about getting the parents into the classrooms, too, and I was also wondering. I know this is an issue 384 00:54:10.790 --> 00:54:35.359 DTSD Webinars: for just anybody coming into classrooms. Is there help with getting clearances and things like that like? Is that information provided at some of these? Yeah. So there's a difference in this between volunteering and just being a guest in the classroom. So that's 1 of the reasons we do the spring night. Hey? This is what's happening in your classroom. Even in the fall they meet with those teachers, and this is how you can help. No, if it's just one or 2 times, it's more of a 385 00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.889 DTSD Webinars: would fall under their guests instead of volunteering. 386 00:54:38.140 --> 00:54:39.240 DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Yep. 387 00:54:42.730 --> 00:54:46.689 DTSD Webinars: okay. Does anybody else have any other comments on policy? 9, 18. 388 00:54:49.610 --> 00:54:52.567 DTSD Webinars: So there's no revisions. But we wanna 389 00:54:53.700 --> 00:54:59.779 DTSD Webinars: get a motion to move policy. 9, 18 title, one parental and family engagement forward. 390 00:55:00.340 --> 00:55:07.000 DTSD Webinars: So move Stuart Mcgovern, second, Tracy Royo, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed so 391 00:55:07.710 --> 00:55:10.379 DTSD Webinars: working out of time. Yeah. So the last thing we. 392 00:55:11.150 --> 00:55:20.860 DTSD Webinars: So the last thing we should do, unless we're no longer doing it is just set goals again for the committee for for next year, and we have in the past. Are we still doing that document? 393 00:55:22.310 --> 00:55:34.508 DTSD Webinars: Yes, we haven't had any discussion about it recently. But yes, we are still doing that. I added it because I'm like, Thank you. Just a creature of habit. I'm like last meeting. I had goals so in the past the goals have been 394 00:55:34.910 --> 00:55:47.309 DTSD Webinars: and I'd have to go back to look at our specific goals. And Lindsay, you've been on the committee for quite a while as well. It's normally just reviewing recommendations from Psba, any board member input or or 395 00:55:47.500 --> 00:55:55.130 DTSD Webinars: there we go, you know, focus on positive and social machine learning for climate equity. 396 00:55:55.590 --> 00:55:58.190 DTSD Webinars: LGBT plus policy needs for employees. 397 00:55:59.551 --> 00:56:03.969 DTSD Webinars: The other one was the Cyclical Review. 398 00:56:05.870 --> 00:56:10.919 DTSD Webinars: Are they listed on the on the district website? Yeah. Yeah. 399 00:56:18.210 --> 00:56:21.579 DTSD Webinars: I think that probably not committee for a number of years. 400 00:56:21.900 --> 00:56:33.879 DTSD Webinars: Continuing these makes a lot of sense because it gives us the opportunity to bring forward things as we need it like we did last year and other ones, but also ensures that we stay. And then 401 00:56:34.030 --> 00:56:36.269 DTSD Webinars: a cycle of regular reviewing. 402 00:56:37.070 --> 00:56:38.290 DTSD Webinars: Yeah, I'd agree. 403 00:56:38.730 --> 00:56:41.570 DTSD Webinars: Does anybody have anything else they would like to add to those goals. 404 00:56:44.970 --> 00:56:47.300 DTSD Webinars: So then, do we get them? Do we approve those goals? 405 00:56:47.670 --> 00:56:52.229 DTSD Webinars: Okay, then, can I get a motion to, I guess, approved the 406 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:56.550 DTSD Webinars: existing Policy Committee goals for another for 2526 year. 407 00:56:58.110 --> 00:57:02.590 DTSD Webinars: Second Tracy Royal, those in favor. Aye, any opposed. 408 00:57:03.820 --> 00:57:09.950 DTSD Webinars: So I guess this concludes our meeting. There's no public public comment. 409 00:57:10.585 --> 00:57:12.719 DTSD Webinars: Can I get a motion to adjourn? 410 00:57:15.450 --> 00:57:17.080 DTSD Webinars: So move Stuart. Recover. 411 00:57:17.470 --> 00:57:24.410 DTSD Webinars: Second, Tracy Royal those in favor. Aye, aye, okay, I'll see. Adjourned until next school year.
