00h 05m 00s
precautions our our home based distance learning program aligns with guidance received to date from the Oregon Department of Education it's providing blended learning opportunities for our students as well as access to educational materials through other means which includes not just a virtual classroom but also paper learning materials as well the PBS HD plan includes curriculum by grade level and subject matter it's designed to attempt to maintain instruction and academic engagement for our students and as we begin transitioning to distance learning we're going to be centered first on checking in with our students it's very important to us that we reassess our sets of classroom communities as we commence a plan for kudiye worth so even HD program is sort of right now I really want to share a big shout out to all of our educators they've been very willing to focus on their own learning that includes what might be new technology platforms really engaged on how to use them creatively to cover content which has started so we're connecting and engaging with students alright I've shared last Thursday and I'll say it again a special thank you supportive Association of teachers for their collaboration on helping to draft guidance for our teachers I shared last week that moving all instruction in the district top I am basically overnight and mean it's been about seven to ten days it's a printable task the public education has had a model that really hasn't changed a whole lot since its inception so we're trying something different something new in many cases of our teachers and students were we're using technology tools but this is this is another level oh that their devices and internet access challenges that were remaining committed to addressing and you've made a lot of progress and in just the last week and I want to invite our community students and parents to learn a little bit more about the details to visit our web is net backslash HD so we're also simultaneously still focused on the essential needs of our students since this closure began as we are gonna do here GPS it's it's been a team effort I think during the livestream we're throwing up some some visuals but when you see there are a few picture so give you a little bit of a sense our nutrition services have done a fantastic task of standing that 15 nutrition hubs across Portland making sure our students who eat want a nutritious meal can access them we're now at over 91 thousand meals served so thank you to our dedicated nutrition workers and our school custodians for their support we'll continue providing meals Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. you can visit our website to find a location near you speaking of our custodial staff they've remained busy during this closure staying true to the bowl of sanitizing and cleaning every one of our campuses a few things as an organization and one of the larger employers in the state we've also we keep materials on hand and that includes gathering up and donating over 2400 protective and 95 masks we've turned those over to Moldova County to distribute as they're needed with health providers there's also been donations that have been augmented by local PTAs so thank you everyone for doing your part to keep our first responders safe and shared previously channeling educator essentials and spirit of innovation we had a couple of our Roosevelt High educators who are given permission to retrieve the school's 3d printer they've been making face shields for frontline health care workers so really want to give them a shout out as well and per requests we opened up one of our elementary school sites were partnered with a child care provider there so that children and health care workers are taken care of as they go about the heroic work of saving lives so thank you to folks who are making sure the site at rekey is equipped and prepared it's a good time for me to plug again how our business and philanthropic community has responded in a big way knowing that many
00h 10m 00s
of our families lives in particular have been uprooted through a partnership with their nonprofit fundraising organization the fund for PBS lift and door - are two examples they're currently providing rides for families so that they can go to the grocery store or if they need to have a doctor's visit they're delivering meals or arranging for tech devices to be delivered or learning materials particularly for students we've identified who may have compromised immune systems or don't have the physical mobility to go to one of our nutrition hubs we have local businesses who have chipped in we have restaurants even during this tough financial local situation who are also stepping that up and providing free meals or to go for our families so we want to want to give them a thank you too and thank you for that growing list the fund for PPS has established a coronavirus from the funds have a response fund for families who need these kinds of financial support during crisis we welcome anyone who wants to help out to visit the fund for Fiat PBS's rotavirus relief fund site you can also text GI be e give to a four four three three four one five four zero to help our coronavirus relief fund rest assured every dollar goes to to help our students and families internet access it's especially critical at this time the fund in addition to our own information technology office is working hard at providing free Wi-Fi to families who identify as needing that access there is a big digital divide here directors and so to close it in a matter of weeks is a daunting task it's something that all districts around the country are frankly struggling with right now but I know that hundreds of hotspots are well on their way to be delivered and just gathering and retrieving tech devices themselves for any student who means a laptop at home and making sure they got one we've distributed over 4,000 laptops so far the meet is still greater we're going to continue gathering and distributing those and we expect several thousand more to go out and all due haste so these are these are definitely unprecedented times but I'm proud of the collective team effort that's underway especially by our teachers counselors principals nutrition workers simple office staff and senior leadership I mentioned previously that there's still some unresolved questions and I want to call that out particularly for our high schoolers were awaiting final direction from the Oregon Department of Education I was on a call earlier it sounds like that direction may come tomorrow perhaps regarding revised graduation requirements this is a big outstanding question for us right now we want to make sure that we're able to work with each of our seniors to get the appropriate counseling and identify work plans when necessary with teachers so stay tuned for our families and students should stay tuned for more details on vadas as soon as we have that that guidance to the district so well speaking of high school I think our Board of Education knows that we have a couple of high profile comprehensive high school leadership openings or we did we have one less it's my pleasure I'm very proud to announce mr. James McGee he's going to be our next principal at Grant High School kudos to him were very proud of him James is going to be succeeding Carroll Campbell who as you know is retiring after seven years at Grant almost four decades in serving in Portland Public Schools her leadership has been instrumental particularly as Grant was modernized and relocated and back again to to their new campus this year were extremely grateful for Carroll service and Hoover adulate her on her stellar career so James if I could just say a minute about this and I know the school community has just heard the news this afternoon he currently serves as vice principal at Lincoln High School where he started as a school counselor in 2014 I think some of the characteristics that stand out for James if I can just take full personal privilege here to share is just way he connects with students the way he prioritizes that in particular some of the ways that he's demonstrated this black student union aided the school's brother's of color affinity
00h 15m 00s
group he leads the avid and he's known for closely collaborating with teachers and community partners to make sure every student for Fullerton life so I know principal Paige Chapman shares her endorsement and sir James has played an important part of that teams rise and graduation rates particularly for students of color or a hundred percent of african-american students graduated in so we welcome James more than 20 years of experience working with students in particular at-risk students as he becomes a general this coming fall and so we're very excited to name our newest high school principal so stay tuned for more leadership appointments we have another one I believe coming tomorrow and a few others that are in process now with a couple of other school communities so we'll let you know as as those come to fruition so I'll end by saying I think one of the best things about this week is how school staff is beginning to reconnect with our students even if that's virtually in some cases in a coorporate but I think board members have seen some of the videos that even school faculties have constructed and put together and shared with students and families they really sort of exemplify some of the efforts that our teachers are putting in to sort of reestablishing that connection even if it's a hello we miss you it's a song it's a bilingual message all of those efforts helped to lift school spirit so these video clips have been really fun to watch keep them coming thank you and thank you directors for sharing those with your constituents we appreciate our teachers and school leaders for making sure that that that focus on reestablishing a positive sense of school community is the first thing that they attend to so that concludes my remarks for this evening thank you thank you so much and we look forward to hearing more about how things are going for our students in their virtual classrooms heard a lot of really positive comments from district staff last week who were invigorated by the the challenge all right moving on to summer I just had a question for the superintendent this is a directive from Edwards superintendent Guerrero last first of all thanks to you all the staff for everything you've done sort of on a hurry-up offense to get our distance learning program stood up last week yes sir I think everyday blends them together we worked from home last week when we had our special meeting when there was a presentation about wireless access and the I think the number that were given the concern that of students not having wireless access was 30 percent and so I'm really appreciative that there's efforts to get mobile hotspots and the the Wi-Fi package through Comcast mic question I would have is I guess it has a couple different parts one is that the sort of is that our current thinking about the size it's like from last week to this week I know things are evolving rapidly last week to this week but that 30% it is the number of students who aren't going to have some sort of digital access and then the second is if it's Wi-Fi what's the percent that don't have that still need Wi-Fi and then the third piece would be I know Jonathan Garcia is doing great work with the fund but I'm wondering if it just given the short period of time it might be more more efficient for there to be a district budget allocation to pay for that versus trying to fundraise it and then having a gap so is it sure Oh question I'll attempt an initial response and then a minor of CTO Don wolf to chime in and there you're talking some exact numbers but what I'll share justa matically whether it's my peers in the bigger cities in Oregon or on the east side or more rural locations or as I've talked over the last couple of weeks with colleagues and other fellow CTOs around the country this crisis and I've said this publicly continues to amplify a pre-existing digital device so we're doing our best to secure hundreds of hotspots and
00h 20m 00s
we're literally prepaying subscriptions so that they can get internet connectivity I don't know that's a systemic solution I think that's our attempt to bring access to our students and families I think this is this this is a bigger conversation I would love to see our city and state leaders engage in cities and counties around the country that have I think doing a little bit more effective job at lasing super hot spots or antennas in parts of town they've known all along I have not had connectivity I would love to see an effort by telecommunications or internet providers working with our city county and state leaders even if it's temporary during this extended closure we have serious equity issues here so you know you have districts all around the country all ordering devices whether they're hotspots or laptops and you can imagine there's a growing backlog we've also encouraged neighbors if you're willing to sort of open up your network you know for student use and that helps maybe the immediate residences or apartments around you but what we really need is is sort of those signal pots or those antennas done I'm going to invite you to speak a little bit more to this because he's been at the epicenter running around trying to figure out creative musicians a lot of partnered with art or philanthropic efforts with Jonathan Garcia but CTO work so this is CTO wolf I'm here and I heard the question so I want to answer and maybe give a little bit of specific information yes we're seeing that what we anticipate the digital divide about twelve to fifteen thousand students not having access to a device at home that that number looks to be holding true the second point is on the information we have collected at this time we have 3000 or so Quest's in for help with bandwidth so along with the philanthropic effort that we're partnering with Comcast and through chief Garcia to stand up that piece we've been scrambling to try and find hotspots one when we spoke last week one of the difficulties has been finding suppliers that still have them through that work over the past week we got a lead last night that there was a large school district that had been double shipped hotspots and they had two to three thousand available we've been reaching out to them today and we're reaching out to confirm and put it will hold on an additional 2,000 hotspots that we can use for our students what it looks like from the data that we've collected and coming in is that we will be able to have enough to be able to quickly turn it around we won't have those this week we're hoping to get them as soon as next week and figure out how we start turning those back around so as information comes out about the device distribution continuing starting up again tomorrow starting focused on our high school students and then our everybody else high school grades k-12 Thursday and Friday and all through next week we'll we'll be putting a plan together on how we get those hot spots out to those families those students who need them so I would only add that superintendent's around the state had a chance to dialogue with Senator Merkley today both he and Odie ease information office as well talked about how the cares federal stimulus creates flexibilities to support locales or k-12 school districts with establishing connectivity or provisioning of technology devices to students so this is where our directors could be really helpful at this time in some of that policy work to secure some of those resources out to local school districts so we're open to any and all ideas this is a popular theme right now and challenge that districts around the country are struggling with and you've seen some regions be more successful than others and we're that's the case you do see that local county state and provide your collaboration during this time so I would love to partner at finding some solutions that are much more of equal or liquidus than the singleton hotspot and laptop which we're going to stay committed to but we would love to see both Irae or stimulus flexibilities built into a long-term plan here because for me it isn't just about the crisis if we're recognizing that technology can be
00h 25m 00s
an important backbone to support student learning you know especially outside of the school school building how do we how do we make sure that that's available to our students yeah what one other item one other item is that the US Department of Education has announced that we're allowed to use our federal funding that we've already received this year especially when we might have had some set aside for professional development that we won't be able to use this year we're able to use that for the very purchase that don wolf was just our CTO was just talking about so we do have a budget line item director Bram Edwards in in order to support this very very expense I have a quick question um how are we identifying the students that don't have access to the Internet if they don't have the Internet are we recruiting at the food sites or sending out the autodialer how are we able to get to those families that don't have internet access now to let them know that there may be a visa as a teacher Don or Donald do you want to talk about some of our efforts to think this is a I'll jump in and start this Adan again along with your line form we have been providing the sign-up sheets and the request for information at the food sites as well as using our communities or community outreach outreach partners or resonate partners or cbos to be reaching out to families and we've gotten huge support from our building administrators and people in the building's reaching out to their communities to collect that information and provide that back to us so we are trying to to get the word out that we need as much information as we can to identify who these students are so far as to have folks from athletic departments our torch I mean and here's how we can help reach out to to our community and our family members we know families who are in need let us help make some of those calls and they have been great about stepping up and making sure no student gets left behind in these efforts that's fantastic I think is that you start to make phone calls they're sort of beginning to ask these questions whether they have connectivity and so our principals are able to feed that information to us and then Don just mentioned we have a lot of our community based or closer specific organizations that are checking in with families and they're either supplying them also and we're also sort of closing the loop on them letting us know that their learning needs a device or access as well that's fantastic it's a huge effort I really appreciate everything you've done to get those so far thirty-eight hundred three thousand computers out the door a quick question about that did we prioritize older students over younger students just in terms of who that device is first this is done again yes yes we did our first round of distribution and all nine sites was targeted at grades 4-12 we starting tomorrow we will have another high school focused only pickup site as well as we did last Friday was or yeah we believe it's last Friday we had a high school only pickup and we've changed the rules a little bit to make it easier when we open those up we're not we're just ensuring that students can come up with a student ID or their student ID number to get those so we if they have families at home that a parent can't take them to the collection site or if they can get there and we're allowing some of our community-based organizations and our partners to to come in and and how get those devices for students who aren't able to make that so there have been a couple targeted collections for only high school students we will continue to make sure that that is one of our primary targets today to get devices to okay great thanks I and heard indirectly from a parent of a second grader wondering who was on the list wondering if and when they would get a device so it's just good to be clear that we have we're going through a priority situation all right Thank You superintendent and thank you to this whole team for just the continued incredible efforts on behalf of our students alright we will move on to some of our board policy work tonight we have a second reading of policy on district funds for purchase of gifts meals and refreshments vice-chair more could you
00h 30m 00s
please introduce this item that's coming to us from your board policy and governance committee thinks this is a policy that was substantially revised to respond to a finding in the Secretary of State's audit from last year the proposed policy was presented for first reading on February 4th 2020 subsequent to that the policy committee did looked at it at at three other meetings and made some additional changes so we did a second first reading on March 9th it's been out for public comments since then and we have received no public comment and we are proposing it tonight with a unanimous the committee's unanimous recommendation for passage by the full board that's it sorry about that all right the board will now vote on resolution number six zero nine to to adopt the revised district funds for purchase of meals refreshments and gifts policy eight point three zero point zero one o P do I have a motion so moved this is character record really moves in director Lowry seconds the motion to adopt resolution six zero nine to miss Bradshaw is there any citizen comment on row six zero nine two okay any more discussion yes I have some questions director loud and go ahead director Lowry this is director Lowry and I just wanted to commend director from Edwards and director more for all of their hard work on this policy director Bram Edwards has spent a lot of time wanting to make sure that our school district is in alignment with the needs Secretary of State's audit and that this was one area where there were a lot of places and connections and I know that Liz large and her staff has worked really hard and Cynthia Nene and her staff to make sure our practices are in compliance with the spirit of the Secretary of State's audit and now this policy will help us sort of be within the law and so it took a lot of time and energy for staff and for the policy team and I'm very appreciative of all the work that people poured in so that we can live up to the ethical standards we all want for PBS director Bertram Edwards did you have something you want to add so I had some a couple questions that I had sent before and I don't know if and there were two individuals with their names on the staff report Emily Courtin egde and Cynthia Lee so I don't know if I should be asking the questions to somebody else or if they're available on the line so it was large and Claire Hertz will respond to your questions okay so these are these are similar questions that I asked I've got too many devices yes you bless you so the question I have is this is this is a response to the audit from the Secretary of State and there was quite a bit of discussion as director Lowry mentioned within the committee regarding some of the specificity and sort of the specificity that it's not in the policy but in the CFO guidance and the question I would have and the CFO guidance apparently has a lot of the very specific detail the specific details or even just some broader higher-level guidance so my question is when will the administrative directive for this be posted since we have there's six times in the policy that reference the administrative directive and there's not a link to it as soon as this is Claire Hertz as soon as the policy is approved by the board then the updated administrative directive will be posted on the website so it's it's available now it has not been approved yet by the
00h 35m 00s
superintendent but the draft has been prepared in conformance with the anticipated policy changes so I can't thumb behalf of the superintendent and his timeline but I my prediction is that it will not be very long at all and as the language in the draft administrative directive the same as the CFO guidance it is it is not an identity and but it's indictments I'm sorry Liz you you cut you cut out sorry not a cut and paste of the CFS that's currently part of current directions to employees and those who administer reimbursements and peak artists but it is the substance of that put into the form of an administrative directive so there's like not not material changes but potentially obviously formatting and non material I think they are non material I think that through the policy committee work there were a couple of minor adjustments that came I think even when we distributed the draft ad in the committee conversation some of those were apparent where there were slight tweaks to the existing CFO guidance but it is very much informed by the the policy language that the policy committee has put before the board tonight and the current CFO practice that exists and then a question about who the policy so I'm not surprised we didn't have any comments I mean we're in the middle of a pan Denham pandemic and an impending reset potential recession I'm wondering who we circulated it to and do we send did we circulate it along with the administrative draft administrative directive this is Liz large again the the standard process is not to circulate draft policies we post them on the policy committee page we give notice to our labor partners of those of the meetings that are happening in the agendas as I understand it Rosanna Powell can oversees that notice can lean in and to the mic and tell me if I've missed Aidid that but that's my understanding the ad because it is in draft and not in final is not posted we generally don't post draft a so that the usual process is what was executed here right now that Kirk was I'm sorry what was that was in yes this is resin yes I was just confirming that that was the process that we followed okay and then it's just the reason I'm focused on the ad is I said I think and unlike there's a there's a fair number I think things that the Secretary of State's office called out where they're needed to be they reference the fact that our policy like xx the 2005 policy needed strengthening or more controls award specific direction and it seems like in this particular case that is in the ad which the draft ad I saw to me meets a lot of the standards unfortunately we didn't put it in the policy I have another question which is why I'm asking the question ad great this is director Scott can I can I just ask a clarifying question director remember words um you're asking a lot about the ad I just want to be clear about process we're approving the policy tonight from the board perspective the ad is something the superintendent gets to do and and it has to be consistent with the policy that were approving if I'm understanding the process correctly right well yes I understand thank you for the question that yes I understand that as as a policy what our role is and what the role of the superintendent is and the ad it's just there's a lot of details that reference and the informations in the ad so if you were if you were looking to like is this a reasonable standard and you read this you wouldn't necessarily know it have an answer to that unless you saw the ad ad which that's not specific
00h 40m 00s
one of the criticisms if we're doing this to respond to the Secretary of State's audit that seems to be a place that we haven't gotten a sharp point on yeah I guess I would just I I think it's important for us as a board to focus on the policy and whether there are any issues with the policy before us and it really is the superintendent's job then to to write an ad consistent with the policy and then consistent with the findings from the audit I just wanna make sure we don't blur those lines I absolutely clear on the lines I also want to I also want to make sure that we are responsive to the the audit findings okay can I can I jump in here you raise these questions numerous times over numerous meetings of the policy committee and after about four months worth of discussions and then that happened prior to the original first reading and then three more committee meetings following that we made some changes and we we determined as a committee that this level of detail was appropriate for the policy leaving the details to the administrative directive I think I was clear and the only speaking for myself that I felt either more details needed to be in the policy or the AG need to do accompany it so people could see the entire package of what was being proposed and we had a different opinion and it's just I think that I'm concerned we're not going to meet the standard of what we needed to have in the policy and this is director Lowry director brim Edwards I felt like one of the huge pieces that we we heard from staff again and again was that in practice we have already met all of standards that were lifted up in the Secretary of State's audit that that we have already made all the changes that met what was requested of us and this is codifying that into policy and so that was one of the reasons for me that that level of detail showing up in the ad was sufficient because you know as Miz large and Isley shared with us repeatedly those practices that were questioned have been modified I say I think that I have a different just a different point of thank you director Lowry I just have a different point of view something based on what they the audit said of what we needed to have in policy or at least circulated with the policies everybody could see the standard so the other issue that I would like to raise and and director more I did raise this issue in committee and we did discuss it several times but we're getting ready to vote on it so I want to just raise it as well regarding the meals and refreshment section and the limits on expenditures that the language we currently have is that it's reasonable based on facts and circumstances and not lavish or extravagant and I raised in the committee and I get enough maybe do you duplicative for those who on the committee but I'm going to raise it before we vote on it that I think that is somewhat subjective and would like as just part of the public record to have an explanation of who what what of what are the facts and I guess maybe this is something would be something in the ad and I don't know because this was one of the last discussions we have whether this has been modified but in terms of the facts and circumstances who is the Buddhist Terman they're reasonable in real expenditure so say a central office staff person takes a community member or business person to lunch pays the bill what who would make the determination of reasonableness and what are the facts and circumstances that might be considered so the supervisor of the employee would approve the expense and there is a standard that we use that as
00h 45m 00s
reasonable cost is a price that is consistent with what a reasonable person would pay in the same or similar circumstances for the same or similar item so that's how we determine what is reasonable is what others would do is it reasonable is it a reasonableness amongst others would others consider it reasonable and so the supervisor is the one that's reviewing it as well as we have for instance if it's on the p-card we also have our staff in the procurement and contracting services department that also review every P card purchase for reasonableness and again this is Claire Hertz speaking thank you I'd like to UM for those in the listening audience I think it's worth giving a little background here director Brendan Edwards during multiple committee meetings strongly suggested that we put in the policy a provision that would establish a definition of reasonableness principally in terms of adopting the General Services Administration per diem rates these are the rates established by the federal government for for breakfast lunch and dinner and different locations across the country we spent a great deal of time discussing this during the committee meetings and the message that we heard consistently from staff was that putting that kind of that kind of limitation in the policy rather than establishing you know something similar in the administrative directive putting it in the policy would create potential a great potential for a substantial amount of time being spent by supervisors in policing and policing relatively small expenditures and requiring that employees who may have gone you know a dollar or two over the limits they would have to reimburse the district and the the message we heard consistently from staff was that this would be sort of Pennywise and pound-foolish we would be spending an inordinate amount of time in administrative policing of this policy and that the administrative directive which actually reflects current practices adequately provides supervision and accountability for employee expenditures so this was discussed that at great length in the committee and the committee voted two to one not to accept that and to instead have the current language that you cited right is there any concern that if someone was to breach the policy I mean that it wouldn't it wouldn't meet this is there any concern that it's a little bit subjective and it might not pass a sniff test well it's a sample that I used in in one of the committee me actually several other committee meetings just prior to going to one of the meetings I had to I ate lunch out I got a sandwich it was a thoroughly uninspiring sandwich it cost me 17 dollars which exceeded the GSA limits I was I had this sandwich at a cafe and normally I would never spend that much on a sandwich but I hadn't I wasn't paying attention and that's the kind of thing that can frequently happen it does not take much effort at all in Portland to exceed the GSA limits they there they're very very modest and it is

it's very easy to go a dollar or two or even more over a GSA limit to get an extremely modest rates vary by jurisdiction though so whether we're there's a higher cost of living generally the per diem is a little bit higher to a con but I'm talking about Portland it's seventeen dollars in Portland sure constan this is director director Scott can I make a motion to move forward with a vote on this policy snackin it's it's already been moved yeah I forgot it had been a while so I'm I'm just gonna close by saying that I'm not going to be supportive of the policy because I think it needs more definition and I think when we have a review from the Secretary of State's audits division that they'll find that we haven't put in place in the policy the necessary controls and we don't actually have any control over the ad because as director Scott noted it is not the prerogative of the of the board so I I hope that it speedily posted and that we'll reviewed and posted by the superintendent so that we are prepared when the Secretary of State's office comes back and ask us about policy because I think that's probably the best remedy to get it posted as soon as possible deputy superintendent Hertz would you like to make one last comment regarding the alignment of the policy to specifically to the guidelines that were being addressed from the Secretary of State's on it and Turk on Sam this is director Lowry I'd also like to make one more comment so as we rewrote the as the CFO rewrote the guidelines for staff and as we drafted the administrative directive we were keeping in mind the current state of the pattern of the updated policy from staff as well as we looked at the state of Oregon Department of Administrative Services who's actually where the Secretary of State gets their standards for these types of expenditures and we look to them for their practices and used a lot of language directly from that so it would tie directly to what the Secretary of State's audit is also using thank you appreciate that director Lowry and I would just say given all the comments that the staff made during our policy meetings and the deep discussions we did on all of the ways to craft this language to both make sure that our staff are honoring what the Secretary of State found in the audit and making it workable so that we aren't wasting lots of supervisor time that this really does for me address those concerns and I think our behaviors have really shown and the changes we've made systemically that we're honoring what was found in that thank you like director Lowry on the board one more vote on resolution six zero nine - we'll take a voice vote director Lau please indicate yes or no director Lowry yeah director de Paz yes dr. Mora yes director Brynn med words no director Scott yes director Bailey yes all right and I vote yes as well resistance six zero nine to is approved by a vote on six to one representative lateral voting yes all right thank you very much everybody will now recess the board from its regular meeting and convene as the budget committee superintendent Carrera would you like to make any comments about the amendments to the 2019-20 budget would you like the deputy superintendent of business and operations to share that information with the board why don't you go to go ahead deputy superintendent Hertz I can see the superintendent speaking but his phone is on mute this is Jonathan Garcia chief of community engagement it helps if the community can hear your voice but that being there hurts you could attest me on my understanding I think I have it down but by you the privilege please so this is
00h 55m 00s
an amendment to the 2019-20 budget as you can imagine there are unknowns in terms of our expenditures in during this season of the kovat pandemic crisis so we have updated our budget to include additional resources that were received this year and also looking at additional appropriation that the instructional and support services area in the general fund so that we can have capacity to spend additional resources just like the Wi-Fi hotspots that we were speaking about earlier this evening there are there are also some smaller amounts there's some special revenue additional grant fundings and moving around from different levels of appropriation from support adding additional support services and enterprise and community services as you know we are also offering lots of meals to students as well and then we have a small slight correction in our debt service fund just there was a truncating rather than a rounding up in our adopted budget so we want to correct that and that's there was also some additional information at the capital projects fund level with a different additional resources and then of course the wanting to spend some grant funds and such that well additional construction excise tax and different additional resources coming for capital projects so those are the that is the overall supplemental budget that we're asking for you to approve the resolution to as appropriate by fund and appropriation level that's listed in the attachment B of the resolution thank you very much the board will now consider resolution 0 93 amendment to the 2019 budget for school district 1 J MoMA County Oregon do I have a motion and a second so moved second director de Paz moves and director Scott seconds the motion to adopt resolution 6:09 3 Miss Bradshaw is there any public comment no is there any board discussion um this Scott I have a couple of questions and they're a little bit new movie questions because I haven't really processed here yeah PBS direct deputy superintendent hurts the capital projects fund so that's a I'm just reading their ways of 562 million dollar increase in that fund well and that one in particular we are issuing bonds so that there's also allow us to issue the bonds that's this edition second half of the 2017 bond issue and as a matter of fact we are bringing forward a sale that will close in the middle of April so that allows us to have the transaction closed in the middle of a this month okay I just wanted to confirm that was in fact that the bond sale that was that was driving that and then in terms of could you could you this again this is a new person new who bore have a question could you walk me through the special revenue fund at a very high level just 30 seconds what that fund is but there are many things in the 200 level but most of it is federal and state grants it also has our Nutrition Services funds in it so it is things that are restricted for specific purposes or title funding for low-income ways and students on our IDE a funding for special education and frequently we will have adjustments in those grants and so we bring that forward to you and in it but it has multiple and has our when our foundations donate to the district then it comes through that 200 fund so that the school's can make purchases so there are many different circumstances for a special revenue funds yeah okay so I read everything in there has some sort of restriction which is why it's a special revenue funds correct okay it was larger than I would've imagined it and then just from a process perspective are we are we doing public hearing right now for the major supplemental budget or or was that
01h 00m 00s
already done it wasn't clear from the staff report it is being done right now that's why we requested public comment on this item on the agenda okay thank you I thought that was the case but I wasn't sure thanks very much appreciated so this is just a building it's as Julia directed by Edward it's just building on that question so I thought in the past when we had had budget amendments we actually had had a board meeting hearing separate from the the actual vote on on the the change in the budget so I'm just curious have these already been implemented does it look it looks like the way it's worded that we're just ratifying some decision that was already was already made is that correct no it is not a decision that's being has been made we're asking you to approve this this is what has been proposed by staff based on our review of our current financials and the upcoming getting through the pandemic event and creating some capacity where we know that by the end of the year we'll probably spend higher in some areas so for instance right now when we talk about the Wi-Fi hotspots that's an example but right now we have the capacity to pay for that but it when we get through to the end of the year we may run out of capacity and we have to have permission before we finish the year so we're asking ahead of time understanding that we are doing a massive massive lift in getting a distance-learning up for all of our students so having addition I know that we are making available additional instructional materials that we hadn't planned on additional technology and just a whole series of things to in order to implement that so this is it's not decisions that have been made in that we have not overspent our appropriation levels but we anticipate by the end of the year that we we might need additional and it's hard to pinpoint right now all the specifics with executive orders coming out in giving us additional instructions and we just need to be ready to implement whatever we're asked to do and the other pieces we did put a public notice in terms of legal notice in The Oregonian of this supplemental budget so that has already been published prior to this board meeting great so just a follow up that because that's great context about so changed environment drivings or different expenditures that we wouldn't normally anticipate so the staff report that says the analysis of the situation that has should the board choose not to pass the resolution in the year out of compliance with Oregon local budget law because that would be because we haven't moved the funds I'm just trying to I'm just trying to understand that you're making me by making appropriation so you're giving us permission to spend and normally when you're adopting a budget you make appropriations what we know since June of last year when this budget was adopted there are changes that have transpired just in our daily operations as well as a national pend a pandemic event so we are anticipating a change in our spending patterns and there I think I mentioned one small correction in a debt service fund where it had been truncated instead of rounded up and so we now have that edged in stone in the budget Department so that we always round up and not truncate to make it a little bit smaller there should be for debt service so again there we haven't made that payment yet so we have not overspend their appropriation but we anticipate by the end of June that we will need that additional appropriation and that's why we're asking that of the board tonight so it's the authorization yeah patience okay got it thanks just the other question I have and again this is like we're in highly unusual times but I'm I'm wondering just the same way is we're having expenditures that we thought we we didn't ever anticipate we would have because who would have anticipated we'd be in this situation are there things in which we anticipated spending resources that that we won't now have to expend those funds because of just changed environment like if there's if there's
01h 05m 00s
no spring sports which I hate to say or no you know spring musicals or you know pick the you know no outdoor school are there things in which they'll be up side of course district of course it's just it's so such a recent event and there's been significant shift in what we're doing on a daily basis that it's hard for us to measure that at this point and and an abundance of caution we wanted to bring this forward to the board at this time so that we don't have that issue of overspending an appropriation level and probably the main driving force is that we were looking at bond quail in the best possible circumstances are historically low interest rates right current in the current bond market well it's a tricky market to sell in it is an excellent market in terms of your long-term interest rates and that was something that we needed to have in place as well great that was really helpful thank you all right do we have any further questions I I do have just one more sort of technical legal question and it might be more for Liz have we have have we looked at the legal issues around this qualifying as a public hearing virtually I know this is an issue that is being discussed in the state and the fact that under and I apologize that I know that this is all RS 294 I'm not proud of that fact but under s 294 in terms of how it defines a public hearing this is actually something local governments are asking all over in terms of they go for the budget process so did we talk to T SEC or Department of Revenue at all about about making sure that this does qualify as a public hearing I have not gone with either of those agencies on that question I don't know Claire if anur your team has but the legal department chief financial officer since the LA did connect with the T SCC and they approved of this process okay yeah thank you I know they are sort of yeah and as you mentioned it was published in The Oregonian and noticed and I know that is TS DC's recommendations so I thank you for checking on that and I think we should move forward and I hope we got some clarity from the governor the legislature soon in terms of these processes all right the board will now vote on resolution six zero nine three again we'll take a voice vote so we'll begin director Lowry directors please I saying yes sir director Lowry yes director to past yes director more yes director brim Edwards yes director Scott yes director Bailey yes all right and I vote yes as well resolution six zero nine three is approved by a vote of seven to zero with student representative lateral voting yes all right thank you very much will now turn the board as the building committee and follow the ball back into its regular subject the next item is request the waive the cash management policy eight point two zero point zero one zero dash P superintendent Greer would you like to introduce the next item well if y'all know director this health crisis has spawned a second crisis and economic of which we have to be very attuned to and so Claire hurts the seam gonna share there than watching why that song with a critical Samuel right now Claire so the current US Treasuries securities Mart market is in an unusual circumstance and it will actually cost us money if we were to invest there so we're looking at other options too we're asking the board to waive if you look in our board policy you'll see that an individual Bank is limited to 10% of our total investment portfolio and we're asking for a temporary wave of this section of the policy to allow us to go up to 25% per financial institution as we the money
01h 10m 00s
market accounts are best terms of not costing resources in order to invest funds especially as we move to investing our bond proceeds from our sale that will close later this month so when I'm asking the board to approve the resolution in order to allow us to waive the section 7 subsection 2 of board policy 8 2010 for a hundred and twenty days so there would be an end date of this waiving of the policy section ok well get this on the table the board will now 6:09 or to waive the cash management follow 8.20 dot ten do I have a motion in a second so moved second dr. Bailey moves in director from Edwards second motion to adopt pollution 69 for Miss Bradshaw is there any public comment on this resolution no is there any board discussion I have I have a question actually I can T it off so deputy superintendent Hertz was there any consideration of establishing a relationship with another financial institution in order to respect the spirit of the policy well you know adhering to the common common sense approach here certainly it was considered but in this day and age you have to have a wet signature on a bank card and getting those passed while we're all staying home in practicing social distancing it seemed it would take longer for us to get that sent back and forth from the through the individuals that need to sign it and usually can take weeks to get it process through the bank so it was considered and with the sale happening in the middle of this month we felt it would be better to waive the policy for 120 days in order to get that in place quickly so just a follow-up question what institution that has that has those funds right now that we haven't we haven't closed so nobody has the funds the the buyer has the funds so we'll close in the middle of April so we're we're I'm sorry where will the cash be held that long sorry they'll be going you are our banks and I'll have to get the list there's three main banks that we use that are adopted by you know the the board approves those institutions on an annual basis but I can look that up for you and there's not any issue of us having being over indexed in a particular institution that wouldn't covered in case of a financial collapse so there is a collateral process by the state of Oregon that banks you know we have to we can only bank with banks that are approved by the state of Oregon that have the capacity to have the collateralization for our funds okay through the state treasury yes yeah okay and then I have just one other question and I think this is this is a smart thing to do on other public boards that I serve on others are doing this as well so I'm supportive of it I just have a question about we got the resolution information yesterday I just want to ensure that while we didn't have it posted for 72 hours that there could be a this is a question there could be a real financial impact on PBS if we didn't approve this at this at this board meeting that is correct and in my apologies for getting it to the board late but but it's it's urgent so we should approve it bring it forward to yeah okay thank you thank you can I um I found the names of the banks so just add those in answer to Julia's question JPMorgan Chase Umpqua and Washington federal as well as Willamette Community Credit Union which has a much smaller limit on how much how much funds they can hold
01h 15m 00s
that's it any further discussion or questions all right Lord will now vote on resolution six zero nine four again we'll take a voice vote director Lowry yeah director to pass dr. de Paz director more yes director brim Edwards yes dr. Bailey yes director Scott yes director de Paz all right we may have lost director to pass ivote yes as well any objections oh is that record to pass yes mr. Gupta pass is mouthing yes yes okay resolution 6 0 9 4 is approved by a vote of 70 to 0 was to representative lateral voting yes all right great thank you very much deputy superintendent hurts when can we have one conference report tonight director de Paz would you like to provide us with a report of your recent conference sure so I attended in early March which seems like years and years and years ago a conference a two-day conference in Nashville where we got to tour the academies of Nashville and those are academies our career technical focused academies we visited Stratford school and mcgavock there's a lot of pride in both buildings what was interesting about the visits were there were multiple principals in one building with one chief hire a chief in the building and then four or different Academy principals the learning environment was really interesting to watch just to compare how different it was from Portland the students that toward us all had on Navy Blazers and we're very professional the career technical learning was criminal justice was one of the offerings legal biomedical the arts track had music studio music and digital media steam focus was biomedical Engineering and science and research and they're in cooperation with Vanderbilt and other area universities and was really great to learn from the students we had an opportunity to so these academies are in the two different buildings they're branded academies and so there's corporate support from Bridgestone Bridgestone tires Nissan Ford and other recognizable corporate names that support the learning and the students with job shadows and you know other supports financial it's in some cases it was really interesting to watch a team meeting we they actually had it performed a team meeting hey Michelle your your microphones off just as a pop you can it I just can you hear me now I anyway really interesting to witness the team meeting so the teams are focused in this in in the focus areas and so they have a smaller group of students they're able to track students you know by name in each Academy each of those learning areas graduation rates in both of those high schools that we visited went from you know the low 50s up and up into the low 90s percentage-wise I I got their thinking like who would want a branded Academy none of the corporations are able to put any their logo on any of the materials but it was interesting to see the the support from the corporate community and a great visit and and a great visit and that you know it might be a long time before I'm able to be in the airport again so seems like a whole nother a whole other world ago thank you very much glad you had an opportunity to to do that last night I was going to say excuse me one more thing and that's that Benson Aaron Benson Tech was had had great representation that conference as well so I think it'd be interesting to hear from them what they picked up from the visit great
01h 20m 00s
thank you very much okay I'd like to get back to the two items that have been pulled from the business agenda I believe it was six zero eight seven and six zero nine zero director brim Edwards would you like to speak to your removal of those items from the business agenda yeah I just have questions about both of them I'll just start with pretty straightforward just the question on settlement in six zero nine zero and the resolution states that the resolution was reached pursuant to the direction of the district's insurance carrier and I was wondering if general counsel large could speak to that piece and then I just have a follow-up questions sure I think it's best understood in context of the insurance contract and relationship we have with our carrier we have a five hundred thousand dollar self-insured retention it's for most purposes you can just think of it as a deductible and so as and let me back up one more step that that what that means is that first $500,000 incurred on a claim whether that's in payment of a settlement or a judgment or the defense costs any amounts over five hundred thousand dollars are paid by the carrier and any amounts under that are paid by the district so as we were approaching that threshold we are as is best practice in communication with our carrier when there was an opportunity to settle this claim wanted to eliminate the exposure which was almost entirely theirs or the case not to settle and go forward so just as following thank you as a follow-on so is it accurate to say that well it says it was at the direction of the district's insurance carrier that our overarching approach with our insurance carrier is that we have shared fiduciary responsibilities and controls built in and that any of the cases that were having a consideration there is a sort of partnership or shared approach by us and our insurance carrier is an accurate description I would state it differently I would say it's it's at its core a contractual relationship that defines who has what responsibilities at what levels of liability and exposure it is it is very much a relationship that you want to be productive and collaborative and I think I can very safely say that ours is with our carrier and so there are duties the carrier has certain duties to the insurer as as do your lawyers and all of us working hard on doing these claims so it is it is in its foundation a contractual relationship but it is it is one when you are assessing risk and making decisions one that involves collaboration and certainly everyone is focused on the best interest of the insured which is Portland Public Schools great Thank You chair I believe there was another question by director for a man worth Oh 8 7 yep so we could just do them both together and then you can do items so the other question I had was about the contract that campus can't compact and it's up for a relatively small amount $68,000 and in the overall scheme of things I'm just looking at the the contract extension it's or 15 from April 15 of 2022 I can't help it my handwriting March 31st 2021 and what it generated for me is just the question about how we're going to approach contracts but tension potentially between now and mid fall next year because if I if I look at that I'm interested hereis about if so for example it starts we're reaping again on April 15th if there's no school delivered at at a school location is the expectation that all in this contract
01h 25m 00s
the contractual obligations would be delivered in the distant distant learning format and I guess that also my question would be extending to next fall if we're not if we're still in a distance-learning posture how for this specific contract that just generally are we expecting contractors to sort of modify their posture or would it be you know make more economic sense to say this isn't something we can layer on top of our current distance learning so I'm interested in sort of what our approach is going to be over the next six months director Broome Edwards are you asking specifically to Campus Compact the contract or just generally well I guess specifically and Endre it generates a lot of questions because we have contracts that we routinely vote on that are extensions where there's a service that's delivered not in the classroom that's sort of supplemental or wraparound and I think last check we had we had if we have a fair number of those contracts or something like this where normally the service would be delivered at the at the school and just my question is for this specific contract are we expecting them to deliver services even if the students aren't back in the school buildings and then generally how are we going to approach that with other contracts as well sure so I'll just say first off as as prudent administrators we wouldn't permit the invoicing of goods and services not rendered but on this specific country and there might be adjustments made given the changing context and that certainly it's something we're just guessing with providers and other contracts on this one specifically I will ask our CEO dr. Luis Valentino and our deputy soup doctor Clara if he wants to try and about what this one looks like specifically yes and I'll tee it up director brim Edwards and I did respond to your email earlier this contract is a contract that does reside in the college and career-readiness departments within the OTL office is specific to our gear up grant which is which is part of the 2008 grant that we were awarded which is just purely focused on building the capacity of each of our schools to promote equitable access to post-secondary ed in training this is specific to having two AmeriCorps members actually coming in and supporting our our coaches and our mentors under the direction of a Tosa which is within the gear up slash college and career readiness department and so I just wanted to kind of give some background in terms of where this actually where it resides in but I'll let dr. Bellin I'll let dr. Valentino actually go into more of the details in terms of what does this actually consist of for the day to days yeah and actually I'm I don't have any issue I'm I'm familiar with us I don't have so my question is not related to the actual surface is just like in in this environment are we expecting contractors you provide modified services or we're putting something in the contract that if they can't deliver services that we have a ticking so this is it's more of a general question not specifically related to it just would like to see how it in play for example plays out in this contract are they gonna meet with the high school high school teams and the college and crew teams and then actually work distance ly with from a distance with students or how that works so just briefly with 4x and OTL as you know most of our contracts with partners have to do with delivery of professional development or direct supports to students and so so for example the superintendent has been speaking with leadership of avid to see how it can be modified so that we can provide professional development online over the summer or apply a hybrid model that takes us into the next fall in looking at direct supports for students some of them begin over the summer which is why the contract is staggered the way it is to begin in July and work through the summer and into the fall and so if for the summer we are not ready then we have to rethink how we can apply all of the learning that we had that that we're going to have between now and summer to use technology to build in a their a
01h 30m 00s
hybrid model or an online component where possible in some cases that that is not possible and we will have to revisit our contracts and from my office I've actually begun to look at a couple that I don't think we'll be able to carry forward but in some cases I think that we will be able to do that and this is this is a case because of its back loaded into the summer and fall that we feel like we can either defer or move it back into the school year at a different time and so that we still move ahead yeah this is the one that because because of the scale exactly as you're describing because of the schedule and this is one that we would modify if necessary what it would look like what's the model of delivery because it's the focus is on classroom based mentoring so if we're going to continue providing support toward summer force for middle school students and this is specific to middle school students then we would modify the model that we would use in the delivery of that of that support great super helpful and then my last question on this is for most of the other contracts that have student based supports there's students well there's kpi's or performance targets built in that our student related and like looking at the contract I didn't I didn't see that and I'm wondering is is it because they're actually in the school or because we treat them differently than we would community based organizations so community based organizations they would have a set of goals they provide quarterly reporting and then there's a year-end report that and then all of that is student based and I'm here there are either it's not here and I so I'm just missing it or this is something different and we treat community based organizations differently if it's not there I mean clearly you do know gear up and so you know the objectives of it and the Campus Compact is designed to be leveraged as part of the gear up in classroom mentoring support so the outcome really should should should be describing how it's building the capacity of the students for college readiness which is the the target suit population and so if it's not drafted clearly then that's that's an area that we have to revisit when we are developing our contracts yeah and so I can follow up with the contracts that program administrator to ask why that is just I know that the community-based organizations have said in the past that they feel like they were being held to a different standard then than others and so this would just be a place where it seems like there's a student based service that it would be the same but I'll follow up with Emily coordinates after the meeting because I'm not I'm not seeing any student based goals but maybe it's not posted with the contrary all right we will now vote on the item we've just been discussing six zero eight seven we'll take a voice vote on this item from the business agenda director Lowry yeah audit director to pass I'm sorry - yes damn did we get a motion in a second on that no we did not do I have a motion to bring forward resolution six zero eight seven how about a how about a motion of six zero eight seven and six zero nine zero we're gonna vote on them separately so let's drop six zero eight seven since we were just discussing that no move second director Bailey move director to pass seconds thank you my note we've just had our discussion sorry about that so we will now vote take a voice lit up do we want to ask about public comment we have any public comment on this I already heard we didn't have any public comment on the whole business agenda I believe at the top of the meatiness so I already have a yes from director Lowry director - pass yes director Moore yes director from Edwards yes director Bowie yes director Scott yes I'm yes as well so the motion passes by a vote of 7 to 0 with a student
01h 35m 00s
