[7:42] our annual election of board chair and
[7:45] board officers thank you everybody
[7:48] next we will proceed to approve the
[7:50] minutes can I get a motion to approve
[7:51] the minutes from the December 17th work
[7:53] session and the December 17th regular
[7:56] meeting so moved second and are there
[8:00] any changes to the minutes of either of
[8:02] those meetings yes I I would like to
[8:08] propose that the item sorry I don't have
[8:12] them in front of me right here but the
[8:14] item regarding personalized learning
[8:16] there were some several comments from
[8:19] the board that were not included in the
[8:22] minutes and I would like to add that the
[8:25] board did
[8:27] disgust approval of this motion and
[8:30] considered the implementation of the
[8:36] strategic plan and the incorporation of
[8:42] this motion was to I'm trying to put it
[8:49] into words to to to try to clarify what
[8:54] we decide what maybe it wasn't that was
[8:59] discussed right so there were some
[9:01] conditions but it was now it did not
[9:03] change the motion but it but we did talk
[9:07] about the fact that we wanted to make
[9:10] sure that we were putting resources
[9:11] where we felt were important for the
[9:16] district so that that the motion was
[9:20] passed but may be re-evaluated by the
[9:24] board upon within the strategic plan so
[9:29] it was a point of clarification just to
[9:30] be added to the minute so it's reflected
[9:32] for the public agree I think we could
[9:38] add something in the comments right
[9:40] right that's what I'm suggesting is that
[9:42] in the comments section of the minutes
[9:46] that we state that the Board discussed
[9:52] implementing this well we just I believe
[9:59] and my recollection could be off but I
[10:02] believe we discussed continuing with the
[10:05] priorities that Randy set forth and the
[10:08] personalized learning goals for the rest
[10:10] of this year and that we wanted to make
[10:13] sure that for the goals for the
[10:15] following year that we were able to have
[10:17] a follow-up conversation within the
[10:20] parameters of the strategic planning
[10:23] process before all of those personalized
[10:29] learning goals were signed off on and so
[10:31] we signed off on the document itself so
[10:33] we could move forward but we wanted to
[10:35] make sure that it was noted that there
[10:37] was the caveat that we as a board want
[10:40] to have a more
[10:40] holistic discussion about all the
[10:43] districts plans and make sure that we're
[10:45] able to have a prioritization process
[10:48] and I think that's all she was asking to
[10:50] be added because it wasn't reflected in
[10:52] there that it was did I take you I just
[10:54] wanna me try articulated that yes okay
[10:58] that's my understanding too and and that
[10:59] I just didn't see any comments at all
[11:02] about that in them I think it'd be
[11:04] pretty important to put that in so do
[11:07] you have a clear understanding how about
[11:11] we go offline I can but why don't we do
[11:14] this so these are the minutes from the
[11:16] regular board meeting correct
[11:18] why don't we approve the minutes from
[11:19] the work session sir I can bring back
[11:21] the minutes from the board meeting at
[11:24] the next meeting
[11:25] there's no time requirement for
[11:27] approving minutes and so that way we
[11:31] know what it says rather than Sarah
[11:33] trying to scramble on this so given that
[11:36] we have a motion to approve both I would
[11:39] recommend that we vote no and then we
[11:41] get a second motion to approve the
[11:43] minutes of the work session and the
[11:45] tables of minutes of the regular meeting
[11:46] until next month okay everybody on board
[11:49] on that one all right so this is to
[11:53] approve the motion is pending which my
[11:56] recommendation is to vote no so all
[11:57] those in favor of the current motion
[11:58] vote aye
[11:59] all those opposed say nay Hey all right
[12:04] now can I get a motion to approve the
[12:05] minutes of the work session from
[12:07] December 17th 2018
[12:09] so moved any changes questions
[12:13] discussions all those in favor of
[12:15] approving the December 17th 2018 minutes
[12:17] say aye aye any opposed motion carried
[12:20] kind of a motion to table the December
[12:22] 17th regular meeting minutes until next
[12:24] month
[12:25] so moved any questions discussion all
[12:28] those in favor of tabling the December
[12:30] 17th minutes until next of the regular
[12:32] meeting till next month say aye aye any
[12:35] opposed motion carries
[12:36] great that worked okay
[12:42] consent I get a motion to well first is
[12:45] there anything to be removed from the
[12:46] consent agenda oh and can I get a motion
[12:49] to approve the consent agenda second all
[12:54] those in favor of approving the consent
[12:55] agenda say aye
[12:56] aye any opposed motion carried
[13:00] we are on to discussion which is the
[13:04] board committee appointments people have
[13:07] filled out our form thing sorry just for
[13:12] Sarah schandle I voted in alignment with
[13:14] the group every time in case it was like
[13:16] a little boy
[13:17] second so you animus mandamus unanimous
[13:21] Thanks so folks know we won't he voted
[13:25] no if it was yes you voted yes a little
[13:27] puppet behind him okay so on the
[13:33] committee assignments we are not redoing
[13:37] associations we're not redoing school
[13:40] assignments the only Association is ISD
[13:44] 287 you know which Regina has agreed to
[13:47] stay on for another year unless somebody
[13:50] else would like to move into that spot
[13:52] that'll come up for approval at the end
[13:54] of January meeting in the groups meet
[13:58] and confer is not affirm for approval
[14:01] everything else is it looks like within
[14:04] that category we have two people
[14:06] interested in Edie fund otherwise we
[14:10] have one person interested in each of
[14:13] the categories so community ed services
[14:15] advisory council is Sarah
[14:17] so City Council Sarah Edie fund is the
[14:21] one we have no that's Jones
[14:23] so some reason yeah okay that helps is
[14:32] it did say it did have your name and I
[14:34] was wondering about that
[14:35] okay City thing I need to know Ellen
[14:39] Ellen put your name in yes
[14:42] City Council's Ellen Edie fund we've got
[14:45] Ellen and Matt both listed so we and
[14:53] Matt you still would like to stay on EDD
[14:55] fund yeah okay I would say that
[15:01] consistency for the two-year term this
[15:04] is good can come as well gift advisory
[15:09] Ellen Insurance Sarah stepping in for a
[15:12] mirror and mental health and wellness is
[15:16] Erica and sack is Sarah she likes
[15:22] getting up early
[15:23] does that still meet like at 7:00 in the
[15:24] morning 7 o'clock good seek is Erica
[15:29] world's best workforce is Ellen and
[15:32] Sarah those are the primary and then
[15:36] going up to committees we do have we
[15:38] have two blanks on schools but we're not
[15:40] changing them is that just we didn't
[15:42] move the name over Normandale and
[15:46] the school stay the same wondering why
[15:49] the names didn't move across so I think
[15:51] somebody went in and populated them
[15:53] thinking that it was necessary but those
[15:55] don't so I I would just ignore that
[15:57] reference question I have is for Amir
[16:04] and Owen and Matt do you guys have
[16:07] trouble making the meetings for your
[16:11] school for your school because if you do
[16:13] I'm happy to take another school I just
[16:16] I wanted I've got Normandale and I've
[16:19] been able to okay I'm picking it up okay
[16:22] all right right so even though it's not
[16:24] required to revisit if it's not working
[16:27] for somebody who yeah I just wanted to
[16:28] make sure that it was working for those
[16:30] individuals that have to work although I
[16:32] haven't been there but okay
[16:38] I'm Cornelia at night and so I've been
[16:40] in touch with their team and I usually
[16:42] email and Satan eat something at a time
[16:44] or not in value is usually during the
[16:46] day on Tuesdays so I've been touch was
[16:47] shown on their team there but I'll let
[16:49] you know if I can't make them but if you
[16:52] wanted more middle school engagement but
[16:57] I'm comfortable I wasn't going that far
[16:59] but I would be happy to help if you need
[17:02] it
[17:03] okay so Erica's my alternate on
[17:05] everything there we go all right and
[17:11] then we will this is also a topic on the
[17:15] work session discussion so we can follow
[17:17] up on the major committees that is a
[17:21] mess the important its Michaelson I had
[17:24] because it's an asterisk so that one
[17:26] doesn't change mid-year right I put my
[17:29] name there just to help out but then I
[17:31] noticed the address asterisk and so I
[17:33] know Alan and I have gone but not in in
[17:37] his stud so I do think a MST is one in
[17:40] which other board members can attend if
[17:42] they're interested in the what's being
[17:43] covered surprisingly we all have
[17:46] nametags it seems like you do
[17:49] I think once you attempted to sign that
[17:52] they are we gonna create a name tag for
[17:54] you right so since I'm I was there they
[17:57] pry of a name tag for me alright thank
[18:02] you any information

[18:10] on committee updates till the regular
[18:12] meeting on january 28th be terribly
[18:15] different from the 17th at this point
