00h 10m 00s
leadership styles to flourish and also to bring in other members of our our community into the into into our work um so i just want to say thank you um for um showing us that we can we can do our work in different ways um and that we can show our community that we can work in different ways so much appreciation i know being chair is a huge time commitment and um thank you very much and um thank you uh director scott as well but you're you're not leaving so you're um so we can say that for later but um i did want to take a moment and just recognize your your leadership and um for what you helped us move forward this last year thank you um i mean i i went into it with a lot of trepidation and also knowing that i'm not like a george washington leader you know i'm not a white male i'm interested in interrupting white supremacy and and that's what we're talking about here and using that term um would have us think that you know in order to be a great leader you need to be an extrovert you need to be a white male and i absolutely do not subscribe to that prescribe to that i i am a quieter person and yet um and and have been very challenged in the moment and also um very uh doing some reflection in the last couple of weeks about what i didn't do and was reminded over the last couple of days that the most important things we can do as as school board members is to interrupt white supremacy and interrupt those systems of oppression that um keep the achievement gaps where they are and so that's my focus is is interrupting those systems that keep the achievement gap in place and to do so requires different thinking different voices different approaches different cultural backgrounds different ways of problem solving and and and ways that we don't even know how to problem solve if we're steeped in this culture of white supremacy and so i appreciate the grace that you've all shown in doing this kind of uncomfortable work together um it is uncomfortable it's uncomfortable because it's new and i just i again appreciate your grace um i know that um for probably most of you i wasn't the leader that you you know in your mind consider the leader of the school board and in my mind absolutely i absolutely was so but with with with warts and all and all of the things that i that i didn't do that i've reflected on as well and the ways i didn't show up so um i appreciate you and i'm really happy to pass the baton pass the gavel rather well you've actually i was going to say some things and you just said it um three times as good as i would have so why not no and thank you um i second everything that director medward said and and actually how you just described i i learned so much from you this last year and just really um appreciated um serving as vice chair and and having these conversations and occasional arguments but again they didn't feel like arguments they felt like really good um you know discussions and and and you really just just embodied you know what what we learn and what we talk about but doesn't always come to reality or fruition which is that if you ask the question it changes the conversation and what you did every single time was ask the question and you said how is this going to affect our students of color how is this going to affect our racial equity you know focus how is this going to have an impact on the community and and i think that was very very powerful um and it was powerful for for for me it was powerful for us as a board and most importantly for our community and our families so thank you for your leadership over this last year and you're not going anywhere you're still on this board and so um i'm really excited to continue working with you yeah and it was really nice to work with someone that had like already had so much professional development in this area that we never had to kind of go backwards um our disagreements were not backwards not going back to you know the beginning but really i think um we're we're in the moment and we're emergent and and we're like a great way to disagree just i love the way that we disagree so let's continue that we're going to move on we're going to try to keep it brief but thank you for that um director scott it's that's meaningful and director brent edwards as well thank you for that we're going to move to the consent agenda now um we're now going to vote on the consent agenda board members if there are any items you'd like to pull for discussion we'll set those aside for discussion at the end of our meeting um ms bradshaw are there any changes to the consent agenda no madam chair uh i'd like to just separate out resolution 6546 for a separate vote not at a extensive discussion 6546
00h 15m 00s
authorized authorization for off-campus activities okay um [Music] i i don't think it needs to go to the end of the meeting because it's not going to be a long discussion but i just would like to have a separate vote was it is it just a comment or um and the vote and the vote okay so um we've so are we then pulling resolution number 6546 yes for discussion on the consent agenda will exclude resolution 6546 okay so do i have a motion a second to adopt the the consent agenda except for resolution 6546 so moved second great uh director scott moves and director holland seconds the adoption of the consent agenda minus resolution 6546 is there any board discussion on the consent agenda and director brehm edwards i guess this would be your moment actually chair to pass that will be a separate vote and separate discussion so if i think you're referring to the resolution that was pulled not the remaining resolution correct okay so that's a separate vote aside from the consent agenda okay um thank you for the clarification ms bradshaw is there any public comment no okay the board will now vote on resolutions 6543 through 6550 minus resolution 6546 all in favor please indicate by saying yes yes yes yes yes yes i'll oppose please indicate by saying no are there any abstentions the consent agenda is approved by a vote of six to zero with student representative mcmahon voting yes and that's the consent agenda minus resolution six five four six shall we now circle back in terms of process two resolution six five four six that's the resolution to approve uh i'm sorry to authorize off-campus activities yes i think that makes sense to do that now okay do i have a motion and a second to adopt resolution 6546 authorization i'm sorry resolution to authorize off-campus activities some move second is there any board discussion on uh the adoption of resolution 6546 i'm going to be an abstention um it's not because i'm not supportive of the trip i just there's some additional information that um i'm looking for okay so um you'll we'll you're going to just abstain from the vote altogether okay and is so there's no public comment because that was wrapped up in the original consent uh suite of resolutions um so we have a motion director hollins and a second director lowry to adopt resolution 6546 um authorization i'm sorry keep getting the title wrong the resolution to authorize off-campus activities all those in favor please indicate by saying yes yes yes yes yes all those opposed please indicate by saying no are there any and there is an abstention that would be um director from edwards the consent agenda then is approved by a vote of five to zero with student representative mcmahon voting yes and one abstention we're now going to hear comments um i believe on our agenda we've got the portland association of teachers going first we'd like to flip that and have some representatives from the service employees international union go first um i've i've asked them both um or let them let both sides know that um they're welcome to go in any order and so we'll start with seiu excuse me um
00h 20m 00s
i first want to thank chair to pass for making time to let us speak um i appreciate your support tonight and always i know you're one of our allies my name is veronica green and i'm the lunch lady at creative science school and i'm also a pps parent my son julian will start franklin in the fall and valentina is going to be a fifth grader at glencoe as you know covertly protections are that are outlined in the memorandum of agreement between pps union employees and pps expired on june 30th we strongly urge you to extend the moa allowing pps staff to use quarantine leave for coven 19 isolation so far human resources have not agreed to extend this common sense health and safety policy which is why we're asking you now to help us keep our community safe ensuring the health and safety of our staff and students is more important than pps choosing to save money staff should never be in the position where they are required to come to work with covet 19 in order to earn a living we also need to make the health and safety of our students the number one priority pps students deserve to be in an environment where they can thrive and learn and be healthy last year i used all of my sick time and leave to stay home with my kids to support them in distance learning when i returned to work in the fall of 2021 things were going great until december when i fell at mount tabor middle school while picking something up from the office for my son and i broke my leg i don't recommend falling in front of middle schoolers because they're all getting out of class anyway um i was out for months so once again i do not have any time available in fact when i checked yesterday i'm actually negative eight hours of sick leave i didn't even know that was a thing but i am um uh let's see what would i do if i were to test positive for covid like so many of my co-workers have recently i would be freaking out is what i would do this would be devastating for my family i'm fully vaccinated extremely careful and i'm masking up again but i did get breakthrough covered once and it's not crazy to think that i could get it again i am a lunch lady and my husband is a united states postal carrier our jobs are critical to our community and i want to feel like my employer values me and my family for the important jobs we do and who we are all the time but especially during a global pandemic coven 19 continues to spread in our communities at an alarming rate extending these agreements is a simple way to prevent new exposures and keep our schools safe for our staff and students will you do the right thing and make sure your workers get quarantined pay and don't have to risk exposing the community to a dangerous fire dangerous virus it's really a no-brainer thank you very much thank you ms green [Applause] did we have any other speakers from sciu we'll move on now to comments from the portland association of teachers our agreement with the portland association of teachers allows them time on the board agenda at their request thank you president bonilla for being here virtually uh this evening and we're anxious to hear your thoughts hello thank you for having me um i am now officially the president so that's pretty exciting hello congratulations thank you well i um thank you for having me uh board directors and pps staff and uh superintendent guerrero i'm speaking also in support of extending the moa allowing pps staff to use quarantine leave for covid19 isolation as my union sibling veronica shared quarantine leave is crucial to the health and livelihood of our pbs employees in a world where we know covet infection and re-infection is a reality and i understand the concerns around money it will cost the district in order to pay for that time off for workers but i want to make sure that i posit that you know our community's health is worth it uh covet 19 continue to spread in our communities at this alarming rate and we know who is most impacted by this virus it's our low-income families our families of color and the elders in our communities and so when i mention these groups i don't just mean our students i also mean our staff you know we've struggled to hire staff and substitutes and one way to entice substitute workers especially our elders in our community who are seasoned and retired educators is to ensure that they will be coming into an environment where they will be
00h 25m 00s
less likely to catch covet and bring it home with masking no longer mandatory discussing is no longer mandatory you know asking folks to stay home when they are sick is really one of our last lines of defense and we want folks to do what's best for them as well as their community and that's to stay home when you're sick but we also know it's not a fair choice to ask staff to choose between paying their bills and possibly infecting their community especially knowing that kovit isn't always um and knock you on your bottom you're knocked out for the whole week sometimes it is but the symptoms are mild and folks will be tempted to come back in person to their jobs um folks are doing their best they're masking they're vaccinated they're taking that personal responsibility but what i'm asking of the board and of our district is that we take a systemic approach to ensure that we're not um facilitating the spread of this virus by ensuring that we uh re-agree to our memorandum of agreement um allowing workers to take the time when they are sick to quarantine return to work healthy and be able to uh keep our communities safe so thank you thank you ms bonilla and congratulations on the president ship thanks very excited um we're going to go now to a second reading of the complaint policy uh director brom edwards would you like to introduce this next item yes thank you um chair de pass so um we have before us um another set of revisions to the district's formal complaint process while we always try and resolve complaints closest to where they happen especially if they happen in schools we do have a formal complaint process that follows state statute and what's contained in the revisions is um [Music] a couple important changes one that um to try and provide more transparency and information to the complainant about the pro both about the process and what um what their role is during the complaint process so they'll have access to a full written record any materials information provided to board members before the hearing about the complaint they'll also receive a written overview of the structure in the format of the the complaint hearing because often it's one of those one-time lifetime events that people go through so just give people a sense of usually parents a sense of what's involved and also that a requirement that the board's final decision will be communicated to the complaint in writing again sort of adding in sort of more transparency hopefully making it a more accessible and um the perception from a complaint that it's it's fair and transparent they understand the process in addition a important change that's being made is that currently under the statute um there are different levels of appeals that are can be allowed and um four five years ago um there was a complaint process that our the district's complaint process didn't follow actually the the new state law so um there were changes made and three three levels put in there and one of the things that we found from just the last five years the process is much better it complies with state law but that by having three levels it actually extends the complaint process um into sort of a fairly lengthy affair and so this is um we've now changed this to um have just two levels um so taking one level out and hopefully expediting and getting a decision to a family sooner so again trying to make the process better better for families and so that you that recommendation for the changes came out of the committee unanimously we've had it we first read it more than 21 days ago we didn't have any public comment and so i would hope that we would have approval of the revisions today and um
00h 30m 00s
the only thing i would say is um it's going to be a change for us going from three levels to two and so we'll just need to monitor and make sure that it actually has its intended um impact which should be a positive impact for families which is to um have the process not be such an extended process i just wanted to add right in there i think you know the one the biggest impact on the board is it'll double the number of complaint hearings we have so i think we as a board really need to monitor that and see if that is actually more humane for families or i think we're trying really hard to make this a better process i think we need to live into it and then get feedback both from the board our staff and our families but i really appreciate i know your attempt to hear director ben edwards has been to work with our staff to really try to say how can we more effectively help families get the tools they need to resolve the issues that come up in the complaint process yeah you're absolutely right and i'm hopeful that um actually there will be not more coming to the board because that we we nail it at the beginning of the process and that it doesn't become a um they get a quicker resolution and then it doesn't actually need to come to the board it's my ideal but absolutely i hope that that's the case but i think we just need to keep an eye on it and i i um i really appreciate trying to make this better for families and um yeah so we'll see and also like all policy development you know there's what you intend you know as a result of your policy and then there are the unintended consequences so i hope that we can you know have a conversation fairly quickly about what the monitoring looks like and what what we're going to measure you know out in space what are we going to measure how we're going to know we're successful or not and will we have a way to close the feedback loop you know with with the board so i just i'm interested in how we're going to monitor it what we're going to monitor what what we would consider successful and and how are we going to know that who are we going to hear from so um hopefully there's more to come on that thank you for working on this um director brem edwards this is a something that just it was bothersome to me when i first i went through a complaint process with the family that it was so drawn out and um it would be maddening to go through the process and i think that you're this working through this policy development is a step in the right direction so the the one thing that i'd want to say is that we um i think it's also a recognition is like pps got much it's got much better if i look back and director constance not here but she she was there back when we had a complaint process that didn't really work um and so you know i think this is a evolution that shows that we we get excellent background work by staff and i think families are being better served and i don't think the it seems that the third level is not necessary where it really was at a different point in time and so you know this is a case i think of you know pps in a continuous improvement um mode and hopefully our families feel that thank you so do i have a motion in a second to adopt resolution 6551 resolution to adopt revised complaint policy four point five zero point zero three zero p so moved second director scott moves and director lowry seconds um the resolution to adopt revised complaint policy 4.50.030 p is there any additional board discussion and then i'd like to make sure we hear from our student representative on her thoughts on this topic um thank you for the time i don't have any comments but i'm excited that we're working towards a better complaint policy for both our students and families excellent and then ms bradshaw is there any public comment no the board will now vote on resolution 6551 resolution to adopt revised complaint policy 4.50 0.030 p all in favor please indicate by saying yes yes yes yes all opposed please indicate by saying no are there any abstentions resolution 6551 is approved by a vote of six to one zero with student representative mcmahon voting yes great we're going to go to the second reading of the liability claims policy director
00h 35m 00s
broome edwards would you like to introduce this item thank you chair to pass so what we're bringing is a set of revisions to the liability claims policy 8.6 0.201 it was recommended unanimously out of the policy committee and the [Music] we've had 21 days for public comment there aren't any additional public comment i would say that there primarily there's um language that's not necessary to have in the policy that we're removing and then the second um probably significant uh change to this policy well there's two other ones um one's not significant but the most significant one is we're updating the amount of claims that would come and require board approval from 25 000 to 75 000 again this is a reflection of um changing changing times and um the other piece is that at the end of each quarter we'll just get a summary of the settlement claims that were resolved below the board approved level but again this should be sort of a modernization of this policy great um [Music] do i have a motion in a second to adopt resolution 6552 resolution to adopt the revised liability claims policy 8.60 .021 p so moved second all right is there any board discussion student representative mcmahon would you like to weigh in on this i'm good thank you and ms bradshaw is there any public comment no the board will now vote on resolution 6552 resolution to adopt revised liability claims policy 8.60 0.021 p all in favor please indicate by saying yes yes yes yes all those opposed please indicate by saying no and are there any abstentions resolution six five five two is approved by a vote of six to zero with student representative mcmahon unofficially voting yes great we'll now go to the second reading of the school site council policy director brent edwards again would you like to introduce this next item thank you chair to pass um board policy 7.10.010 this is one of those ones that is i was just going through the policy manual i noticed um some uh language that um needed to be modernized it used to be called the citizens involvement process and um we've modified that um that language um in addition uh there was this policy included language that um or a whole explanation about local school advisories committees which um used to be a requirement by state law and um also referenced some other community-based [Music] committees that have their own charters so we really reformulated this so that it's solely focused on site councils and the language is language that's reflective of that we would want to use in our in our policy manual that's welcoming um to an inclusive to all and this came out of committee unanimously it's been was posted for [Music] uh 21 days and we didn't have any significant public comment um so i i would hope that we would make these make these changes and adopt these changes the one thing i would say is um this is more on the implementation side but all of our schools are required to have a site council so just the fidelity of of implementation we get you can have a great policy but if it's um not implemented it's also state law um then you know the policy is not not worth much so again having the support for our schools and our building leaders to be able to run run the site councils and also to make sure that we're in compliance with state law you director brim edwards do i have a
