[A. CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:06]

IT IS 5:30 ON TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2022.

I HEREBY CALL THIS MEETING OF THE ROUND ROCK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALLED BOARD MEETING TO ORDER.

TRUSTEES XIAO, VESSA, FELLER AND HARRISON ARE PRESENT IN PERSON.

TRUSTEE WEIR WILL BE JOINING US VIRTUALLY.

SHE IS OUT WITH COVID, SO WE ARE SENDING YOU BEST WISHES FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

TRUSTEES, BONE AND WESTON ARE ABSENT.

PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE.

WE'RE GOING TO START

[C. PUBLIC COMMENTS TO AGENDA ITEMS ONLY]

AT EACH BOARD MEETING THE BOARD WILL SET ASIDE TIME TO AFFORD THE GENERAL PUBLIC AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

WE ASKED FOR THE CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS REGARDING SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS NOT BE RAISED IN THIS PUBLIC FORUM.

SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT EMPLOYEES OR FORMER EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE BOARD POLICIES.

THE BOARD REQUESTS THAT COMMENTS, WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, BE COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL.

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THE AUDIENCE AND THE VIEWERS THAT THE COMMENTS OF THE SPEAKERS REFLECT THEIR OWN POSITIONS OR OPINIONS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK, THAT RIGHT IS NOT UNLIMITED.

PER TEXAS PENAL CODE.

38.13. 42.01, 42.02 AND 42.05.

AND TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 37.105.

NO AUDIENCE MEMBER OR SPEAKER WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ANY CONDUCT THAT IS DISRUPTIVE OR THREATENING TOWARD ANY SPEAKER OR OTHER PERSON, OR TO VIOLATE THE PRIVACY RIGHTS OF ANOTHER PERSON.

THE BOARD SHALL NOT TOLERATE DISRUPTION AT THE MEETING OF MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE.

THE BOARD MAY NOT DISCUSS OR ACT UPON ANY MATTER THAT IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE ACTION PORTION OF THE AGENDA.

THEREFORE, BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT DISCUSS THE COMMENTS OF THE SPEAKERS.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT A LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS DOES NOT INDICATE AGREEMENT OR APPROVAL OF THE COMMENTS.

EACH SPEECH SPEAKER WILL BE GIVEN 2 MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.

TRUSTEE HARRISON WILL BE OUR DESIGNATED TIMEKEEPER.

THE FIRST SPEAKER TONIGHT WILL BE REBECCA MELLIS SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D SIX AND D SEVEN.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

DIVISIVE. I FIND IT HYPOCRITICAL FOR THE TWO TRUSTEES THAT HAVE SPENT THE PAST YEAR WHIPPING THEIR BROWN SHIRTS.

WHOOPS YELLOW SHIRTED FAN BASE INTO A FRENZY OVER FALSE ALLEGATION AGAINST DR.

AZAIEZ TO USE THAT TERM.

YOU TALK ABOUT BEING THE MINORITY, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YOU SIT UP THERE AND PONTIFICATE, SO YOU HAVE VIDEO CLIPS SHOWING HOW YOU WANT STUDENT OUTCOMES.

BUT TRUSTEE WESTON, SINCE JANUARY HAS PERSONALLY HAD 15 ITEMS ON THE CLOSED SESSION AGENDAS AND NOT A SINGLE ONE HAVE RELATED TO STUDENT OUTCOMES.

SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP AT THE STUDENT OUTCOME [INAUDIBLE] LAST YEAR.

I GUESS BEING AT CAMPAIGN RALLIES WHEN YOU'RE NOT RUNNING AGAIN FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS IS MORE IMPORTANT.

IF SHE REALLY CARED ABOUT STUDENT OUTCOMES, THEN BOTH BONE AND WESTON NEED TO RESIGN TONIGHT AND LET SOMEONE THAT TRULY CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS OF THIS DISTRICT SIT IN THOSE REVERED SEATS.

WE REJECT THE WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM REPRESENTED BY THE MATCHING SHIRTS, TRUSTEES, BONE AND WESTON, AND INSTEAD SUPPORT A DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE DISTRICT AND BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT IT IS TODAY.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS DONNA TUCKER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D 1 THROUGH 7.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? YEAH, I DO.

THANK YOU. MY COMMENTS ARE GENERAL REGARDING CENSURE OF ANY BOARD MEETING, AND THIS HAS COME FROM MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION AND RESEARCH.

I THINK ANY BOARD MEMBER SHOULD BE CENSURED FOR FAILING TO MODEL THE BASIC GUIDELINES FOR BEHAVIOR EXPECTED BY ALL STUDENTS PER THE SCEA DISTRICT POLICY FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE ETHICS AND GUIDELINES OF THE BOARD AS POSTED ON THE RRISD TRUSTEES SITE, FOR IGNORING ACADEMICS, SAFETY FOR ALL AND PARENTAL RIGHTS WHILE PROMOTING MINORITY AGENDAS AT ALL GRADE LEVELS.

FOR REINSTATING DR.

AZAIEZ BASED ON HIS LAWYER'S CLAIM OF CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS WITH PROOF OF INNOCENCE WHEN THAT WAS NOT THE TRUTH

[00:05:01]

DIXON, THE $25,000 REPORT WHEN IT WAS RECEIVED WEEKS BEFORE THE VOTE TO REINSTATE HIM, FOR NOT INVESTIGATING THE ASSAULT OF A CITIZEN IN THE HALL OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM AFTER THE BOARD MEETING IN 2021.

FOR REINSTATING, THE SUPERINTENDENT, WHO WAS SUBJECT TO MULTIPLE LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS, IS IN BLATANT VIOLATION OF HIS CONTRACT, IS ACCUSED OF DEMANDING A CHILD BE ABORTED FOR HIS CONVENIENCE WHILE IGNORING THE SAFETY OF ROUND ROCK ISD CHILDREN POST UVALDE MASSACRE.

FOR BLINDLY PLEDGING SUPPORT FOR YOUR ONLY EMPLOYEE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT IS DENISE RAY SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH 9.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

NOBODY TOLD ME WE WERE HAVING A PARTY TODAY.

I WOULD HAVE COME PREPARED WITH BALLOONS AND PARTY HATS.

Y'ALL HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELVES WITH A GOOD OLD CENSURE CIRCUS.

YOU'VE GIVEN US MORE VALIDATION IN ADVERTISING THAN WE COULD ASK FOR.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY FOCUS ON EDUCATION EXISTS TO PUT AN END TO THE CLOWN SHOW THAT IS ROUND ROCK ISD THE NEVER ENDING CENSURES AND FINGER POINTING, THE REDIRECTION OF MISDEEDS TO TAKE THE HEAT OFF YOURSELVES AND AIM THE LASER AT THE OTHER.

IS THIS HOW YOU HAVE DECIDED TO ABSOLVE YOURSELVES OF THE MEDIA CIRCUS THAT HAS PLACED YOU AT THE CENTER OF THE RING BY CALLING TWO MEETINGS IN ONE WEEK DURING THE SUMMER WHEN YOU COULD BE ADDRESSING OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE LEARNING LOSS, IMPROVED CAMPUS SAFETY, AND HOW TO RETAIN QUALITY TEACHERS.

BECAUSE TARGETING TRUSTEES IS MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN HEALING OUR COMMUNITY AND STRATEGICALLY PLANNING FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS? HOW MANY TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS HAVE LEFT? HOW MANY KIDS HAVE BEEN DIS ENROLLED? WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH EDUCATORS WHO WOULD WANT THIS JOB AT ROUND ROCK ISD AND BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EMBARRASSMENT? WHY WOULD PARENTS WANT THEIR KIDS TO STAY AND BE SUBJECTED TO SUCH A HORRENDOUS CULTURE THAT YOU'VE CREATED? WHEN FOCUS ON EDUCATION, CANDIDATES GET ELECTED TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER.

CENSURES AND CIRCUS ACTS WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST.

THERE WILL BE RESPECT, UNITY, COHESION AND TRANSPARENCY.

OUR QUALIFIED CANDIDATES WILL BRING HEALING AND A STUDENT WAITING LIST A MILE LONG WITHOUT THE NEED FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT.

NO MORE NEGATIVE MEDIA ATTENTION.

THESE REPEATED CENSURE MEETINGS ARE ONLY CEMENTING WHAT THE COMMUNITY ALREADY KNOWS.

IT'S TIME TO PUT THE FOCUS BACK ON EDUCATION AND BACK ON OUR KIDS.

SOMEONE LIKENED THIS TO AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE.

YOU'RE ATTACKING YOURSELVES FROM WITHIN AND DAMAGING YOUR OWN ORGANS AND KILLING THE ENTIRE ORGANISM.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS KAREN HAWTHORNE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D SIX AND SEVEN.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I DO. I HAVE AN INCOMING FIRST GRADER AND A THIRD GRADER.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I SUPPORT THE SANCTIONING OF BONE AND WESTON.

THAT'S ALL. JUST REPEAT THAT ONE MORE TIME WITH THE MIC.

THANK YOU. I HAVE AN INCOMING FIRST GRADER AND A THIRD GRADER.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I SUPPORT THE SANCTIONING OF BONE AND WESTON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] NEXT IS ROB LESSER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH EIGHT, ONE THROUGH NINE AND F ONE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? YES, MA'AM. WELL, I GUESS THE RADICAL LEFT WING HATER IS GOING TO HATE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GET A BOATLOAD OF THAT TONIGHT.

THE TOLERANT GROUP THAT THEY ARE.

BUT BACK TO THE POINT, THIS IS ABOUT A MATTER OF PRIORITIES.

OKAY. ARE WE HERE TALKING ABOUT STUDENT OUTCOMES? NO. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY? NO. WE'RE HAVING NOW CENSURE WARS, PART FOUR I KIND OF LOST TRACK.

SO DO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT.

BUT WITH REGARDS TO THE DEPARTING DR.

XIAO'S SEAT. MY RECOMMENDATION ASK AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER IS YOU THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE.

YOU DO NOT MAKE ANY APPOINTMENTS AND YOU PUT HIS SEAT ON THE BALLOT FOR NOVEMBER BECAUSE HONESTLY, Y'ALL, YOU DON'T HAVE THE COLLECTIVE WISDOM TO MAKE A CHOICE.

TO PUT SOMEBODY ON IN THE INTERIM, LET THE VOTERS DECIDE.

YOU ALL NEED SOME FRESH BLOOD UP THERE.

IT'S BECOMING APPARENT THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A TRAIN WRECK.

SO THAT'S MY REQUEST.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] NEXT IS DEBORAH DAMOND SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D 1 THROUGH D 5 AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YES. IT'S NOTED ON THE CARD THAT I LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

SO YES.

SO YES, I AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER.

WE'RE HAVING WAY TOO MANY MEETINGS ABOUT THIS AND HOW I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I HAVE NOW FIGURED OUT HOW ALL THE PARKING LOTS ARE CONNECTED AND I KNOW HOW TO GET HERE.

[LAUGHTER] SO THAT'S JUST TOO MANY MEETINGS, GUYS.

IT REALLY IS. AND IT'S NOT FOCUSED ON WHAT WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON.

AND THIS WHOLE AREA, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IS IN MAJOR CONFLICT, WHICH ENDS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PUBLIC, IT EMBITTERS EACH OTHER.

[00:10:03]

SO YOU'RE SPLITTING THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S BANKRUPTING OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

LOOK AT THE FUNDS THAT WE ARE USING FOR LEGAL FEES.

OKAY. IT'S STEALING OUR TRUST AND OUR CONFIDENCE AND WHOSE THE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING THIS DISTRICT AND EVEN IN OUR SCHOOLS.

SO ON THE VERY FIRST PART, YOU KNOW, EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE WE HAVE THIS CODE OF ETHICS WHICH IS ALREADY REFERRED TO.

THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ON HERE IS AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD, I SHALL PROMOTE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE AND TO THAT END SHALL ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING ETHICAL STANDARDS.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE FAILED THIS TEST.

I STARTED HIGHLIGHTING THERE'S NOTHING ON HERE THAT NONE OF YOU HAVE NOT DID WRONG ON.

AND I MEAN, SOMEONE DID THE HOMEWORK FOR ME, BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE WAYS THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU NEED TO BE CENSURED.

SO THE REAL QUESTION IS, ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO ACTUALLY CENSURE EACH OTHER? ARE YOU GOING TO WALK OUT OF HERE WITH A HAND SLAP OR YOU ACTUALLY GOING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT, IS RICKY NELSON SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D NINE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

FIRST I WANT TO SAY YOU ASK IN THE BEGINNING, AMBER, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL.

NOTHING YOU SAID WAS RESPECTFUL.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME. DON'T PUT ME IN THE CLASS.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO PUT YOU IN A CLASS.

DON'T PUT ME IN A CLASS.

YOU NEED TO STOP THAT.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS BOARD OR WHAT IS SAID BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SAYING RACIST STUFF ALL DAY LONG.

SO PUT A STOP TO IT BECAUSE IT'S ON YOU.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE CENSORING.

WE HAD A MASS SHOOTING AGAIN TWO WEEKS AGO.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING HERE, THERE OR OTHER WAYS.

I KNOW YOU LIED.

YOU WERE NOT AT THE LAST SAFETY AND SECURITY MEETING AND IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW, THE ONE BEFORE IN THE FALL.

YOU WERE NOT THERE. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU AT ONE.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE LAW IS.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO DO.

THAT COMMITTEE SUBMITTED STUFF TO DR.

YARBOROUGH AND IT WAS NEVER SUBMITTED TO YOU.

YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO TOPICS ON THE AGENDA, ITS ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, YOUR ROLE AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY ALONG WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.

HE HAS NEVER BEEN AT ONE.

NEITHER WAS FLORES.

NEITHER WAS THE SUPERINTENDENT.

IS YOUR JOB THIS BOARD'S JOB ROLES AND NUMBER ONE JOB IS SAFETY.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANY OF THIS.

IF YOU HAVE TO WALK UP AND WALK OVER ANOTHER CHILD'S DEAD BODY OR YOU HAVE A PARENT THAT SAYS, WHY DIDN'T YOU TALK ABOUT SUICIDE PREVENTION? WHY DIDN'T YOU DO A THREAT ASSESSMENT? BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DONE ON THIS CAMPUS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU DO NAME BADGES? NOTHING. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PROTECT THOSE CHILDREN.

THAT IS YOUR NUMBER ONE JOB.

AND YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN IF IT HAPPENS ON YOU, ON YOUR WATCH.

THIS CAMPUS. I PROMISE YOU.

YOU WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES.

YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT.

SO I REALLY THINK YOU ALL NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK YOUR HYPOCRISY AND THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER ONE JOB THAT SUPERINTENDENT HAS AND YOU IS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. STOP WITH THE ANTICS.

PROTECT THE CAMPUSES.

PERIOD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS KRISTI SLAPE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D ONE AND D EIGHT.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

HELLO. HAPPY FLAG DAY.

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHARE A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU TODAY.

THE AMERICAN FLAG AND THE SYMBOLISM THAT IT REPRESENTS IS TO BE HONORED AND REMEMBERED THE MEANING.

SORRY WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

OH RIGHT. SO THIS ALSO GOES ALONG WITH D EIGHT AND D ONE, WHICH I WILL BE SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT.

TRUSTEE SANCTION PROCESS FOR AMBER FELLER.

I JUST WANT TO TIE IN TO D 8.

ON DECEMBER 16TH, 2021, THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE A MOTION MADE BY CORY VESSA AND IT WAS ALSO READ BY AMBER FELLER, WHICH I WILL READ TO YOU FROM THE TRANSCRIPT. THIS IS DECEMBER 16, 2021.

PRESIDENT AMBER FELLER REPEATED CORY VESSA BY SAYING I MOVE TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO LOOK AT CURRENT DOCUMENTS OF CONCERN, AS DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION, TO EVALUATE IF FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED.

THAT WAS THE WORDING OF THE MOTION WHICH PASSED.

NOW I AM HEARING READING IN THE MEDIA A TEXAS SCORECARD ARTICLE THAT JUST CAME OUT THAT TRUSTEE BONE IS NOW SUING DR.

AZAIEZ FOR SPENDING WHAT SOUNDS LIKE ABOUT $47,000 ON AN INVESTIGATION INTO TRUSTEE WESTON.

[00:15:06]

THESE FUNDS WERE NOT APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

AND SO AS TAXPAYERS, PARENTS WHO WANT TO SEE THE MONEY THAT WE ARE PAYING IN OUR TAXES GO TOWARDS STUDENTS AND STUDENT OUTCOMES, IT IS BEING USED IN A WAY THAT IS DIVIDING THE BOARD AND DIVIDING THE COMMUNITY.

SO I'M ASKING YOU TO PLEASE STOP AND THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS AND TAKE CONTROL OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR MONEY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] NEXT IS PAULA ROJAS SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D 1 THROUGH 8 AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I LIKE YOUR BLUE HAIR STREAKS.

THAT LADY THAT WAS UP HERE TALKING.

CHECK YOUR COLONS TO.

I USUALLY PREPARE A SPEECH SO I DON'T BLABBER UP HERE, BUT IF ANYTHING, I FIGURED I'D HOLD MY SIGN.

SO Y'ALL CAN READ THAT FOR MY ONE MINUTE.

BUT I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE REPORT WAS RELEASED.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TAXPAYERS, PARENTS, PLEASE ASK FOR YOUR COPY.

READ IT. IT'S CRAZY THAT THIS IS STILL GOING ON.

SORRY. YOU HAVE TO TALK TO AGENDA ITEMS ONLY.

THAT IS ON THE AGENDA ITEM D ONE THROUGH EIGHT FOR THE CENSORSHIP.

AND I AGREE WITH ALL THESE MEMBERS WITH THE CENSORSHIP.

IT'S CRAZY THAT THIS IS ON OUR AGENDA.

WE HAVE TOO MANY KIDS LEAVE IN THE DISTRICT.

AND CORY, ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE, YOU PUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACCEPT OUTSIDE STUDENTS.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SORRY, WE'RE NOT POSTING FOR THAT ON THE DISCUSSION.

FIND OUT WHY THEY'RE LEAVING.

THEN THE CENSORSHIP IS CRAZY, ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

AND THEN SCHOOL SAFETY WE'RE NOT POSTED FOR A DISCUSSION ON SCHOOL SAFETY.

WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT OTHER THAN THE CENSORSHIP IS JUST AS WHAT I'M TRYING TO POINT OUT TO YOU, THERE'S A THOUSAND THINGS THAT WE CAN BE TALKING ABOUT OTHER THAN THIS CENSORSHIP. LET ME SEE.

HANG ON. I TOUCHED A BUTTON THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE.

IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK ON THURSDAY, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.

I'M GOING TO BE BACK ON THURSDAY WITH A PREPARED SPEECH.

I JUST COULDN'T DO IT TODAY, YOU KNOW, ON THE PHONE WITH INSURANCE AND ALL THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS. EVERYBODY'S BUSY, RIGHT? BUT I'M NOT TOO BUSY TO STAY FOCUSED ON WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING.

WE'RE ALL WATCHING THE COMMUNITY IS SO DO A BETTER JOB.

DO A BETTER JOB. GREAT.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] NEXT IS JILL FARRIS SPEAKING AGENDA ITEMS, D ONE THROUGH EIGHT.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

GOSH, Y'ALL I'M SO EXCITED THAT I GET TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE TONIGHT AND SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS.

OH WAIT NO. NO, I HAVE TO STICK TO THE AGENDA.

AND THERE IS NOTHING ON THE AGENDA THAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR A ROUND ROCK STUDENT OR TEACHER.

SEE YOU LATER, XIAO. I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO ADJOURN.

WE NEED NOT ADJOURN. I NEED TO TAKE A RECESS AND NO LONGER HAVE FOUR TRUSTEES ON THE DAIS.

SORRY, YOU CAN START BACK OVER, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE FOUR TRUSTEES ON THE DAIS.

IT'S 5:48 AND WE WILL COME BACK IN 5 MINUTES.

IT IS 5:51 WE ARE BACK IN SESSION.

MY APOLOGIES IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT WE ONLY HAVE FOUR TRUSTEES SITTING ON THE DAIS, SO HAVEN'T HAD TO EXPERIENCE THAT YET.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING TO TAKE THE SHORT RECESS.

WE'RE GOING TO START BACK OVER WITH JILL FERRIS SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D ONE THROUGH EIGHT.

YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT AND SHE GETS HER FULL 2 MINUTES AGAIN.

I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE INSANE DAILY FIGHTS THAT ARE BREAKING OUT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, OR THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT HAS LOST 30% OF ITS STAFF THIS YEAR BECAUSE ROUND ROCK ISD IS BASICALLY A POORLY RUN CHILI'S AT THIS POINT, BUT NONE OF THAT'S ON TOPIC.

AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO PLAY ANOTHER ROUND OF IS THIS WORTHY OF A CENSURE? BECAUSE GOODNESS KNOWS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE COULD POSSIBLY BE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

AND SO IF YOU DECEPTIVELY AND ILLEGALLY HIRED ATTORNEYS TO INVESTIGATE A TRUSTEE, YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU EXHIBIT A TOTAL LACK OF SELF-CONTROL AND CONTINUOUSLY DISRESPECT FELLOW TRUSTEES OR CITIZENS, YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY RETIRE TO CLOSED SESSION IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT , MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU GROVEL AT THE STATE CAPITOL FOR THINGS THAT DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE DISTRICT'S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES, BUT PRESENT YOURSELF AS A TRUSTEE ANYWAY, YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW MORE THAN THE CFO AND CONTINUE TO ALLOW FUNDS TO BE HIDDEN FROM OTHER TRUSTEES, MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU'VE GOT A PRIVATE MESSAGE REGARDING SUPERINTENDENT MISCONDUCT AND YOUR RESPONSE LED TO THE ASSAULT OF A PREGNANT WOMAN, YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

IF YOU FLIP OFF AN SAT PROCTOR FOR NOT LETTING YOUR SON BREAK THE RULES, YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A CENSURE.

BUT YOU WEREN'T.

NONE OF YOU ARE. I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T GET CENSURED FOR USING YOUR POSITION AS A TRUSTEE TO INTIMIDATE AND SCREAM AT A SCHOOL COUNSELOR.

YOU DIDN'T GET CENSURED FOR FLIPPING OFF THAT EMPLOYEE ON CAMERA.

AND SO IF THAT IS NOT A CENSURE WORTHY OFFENSE, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE?

[00:20:04]

KNOCK IT OFF.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS JAY OCKMAN SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D 1 THROUGH 9.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I DO, YES. SO I'LL REITERATE PRETTY MUCH WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING.

HERE WE ARE SPENDING TIME TALKING ABOUT CENSORING AND SANCTIONING ONE ANOTHER.

IT'S TIME TO GET THE PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.

LAST MONTH, A DEVASTATING TRAVESTY HAPPENED IN UVALDE, JUST 3 HOURS UP THE ROAD, A SISTER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN OUR STATE.

PARENTS SHOWED UP AT THE LAST MEETING WITH YOU TRUSTEES TO TALK ABOUT SAFETY OR WANTING TO ADDRESS SAFETY.

NOTHING TONIGHT IS DISCUSSING SAFETY.

I'M HERE BECAUSE OF THAT.

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR SAFETY.

MY SON SHOWS ME, SNAPCHATS OF THE FIGHTS GOING ON IN SCHOOL.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE KIDS ARE DECKING EACH OTHER OUT AND PULLING OUT HAIR AND EARRINGS AND PUNCHING AND THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE STEPPING IN TO PUNCH.

THIS IS ON YOU GUYS, ALL OF Y'ALL, HIM IN PARTICULAR, BUT ALL FOUR OF YOU TRUSTEES AND THE ONES THAT ARE MISSING AS WELL.

ANYWAYS, WE ALL KNOW THAT COVID CREATED A HUGE LEARNING GAP FOR STUDENTS AND THIS BOARD IS STILL TALKING ABOUT SANCTIONING.

SORRY WE HAVE TO STAY WITH THINGS THAT ARE ON THE AGENDA.

OKAY, SO ON THE AGENDA, Y'ALL ARE NIT PICKING AND FIGHTING.

YOU SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS BLAMING EACH OTHER FOR BREAKING MOM'S FAVORITE VASE.

IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR OUR DISTRICT.

I'M ASHAMED OF ALL OF YOU PEOPLE.

I PAY ABOUT $9,000 SPECIFICALLY TO ROUND ROCK ISD IN MY PROPERTY TAX, AND I'M ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU GUYS.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING BETTER.

PLEASE STOP THIS.

PLEASE GET ALONG. PLEASE LEARN HOW TO POLITIC.

PUT THE DIFFERENCES ASIDE.

I THINK WE NEED TO DO WHAT OUR PARENTS USED TO DO.

GET YOU ALL IN A ROOM AND LET YOU MAYBE DO WHAT YOUR STUDENTS DO.

DECK IT OUT. PULL EACH OTHER'S HAIR AND EARRINGS, PUNCH EACH OTHER IN THE FACE.

I DON'T KNOW. IT NEEDS TO STOP AND IT NEEDS TO STOP TONIGHT.

THIS NEEDS TO BE THE END OF THE DISCUSSION.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] NEXT IS ZHAO QUINN, ELAINE LEE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D SIX THROUGH EIGHT.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I AGREE WE SHOULD PUT THE FOCUS ON STUDENT, BUT I DISAGREE WHAT CAUSE DISRUPTION TRUSTEE WESTON ASKED FOR TO SANCTION ALMOST EVERY OTHER BOARD MEMBER. SHE'S NOT EVEN HERE.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER TO OFFER A REASON.

I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS PREPARED FOR HER AND DR.

BONE. BUT THEY'RE NOT HERE.

SO I WANT TO SAY THE REST OF THE BOARD THAT I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO.

I SUPPORT YOU.

PLEASE DON'T BEND TO THE BULLIES.

IF YOU DO, THEY'LL COME BACK FOR MORE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] NEXT IS DON ZIMMERMAN SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM F 1.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT THE VACANCY COMING UP.

AND TO OUR DR. XIAO, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE FOURTH TIME RESIGNING FOR ACTUALLY DOING IT.

SO THANK YOU. NOW THAT THAT'S FINALLY DONE.

[APPLAUSE] AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO INCREASE THE TAXES, BECAUSE YOU DO THAT EVERY YEAR IF WHEN THE ENROLLMENT DECLINES. TAXES ALWAYS GO UP.

YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO RAISE THE TAXES.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE FIVE MEMBERS.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED FIVE BOARD MEMBERS TO RAISE OUR TAXES.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THEM WITH SOMEBODY.

WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER YOU REPLACE FOR DR.

XIAO, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.

THE WAY THAT WE SOLVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS, NOT ONLY DO WE NOT AGREE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO AGREE TO DISAGREE.

WE NEED TO HAVE AN ELECTION.

THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO RESOLVE THESE DIFFERENCES.

SO WHOEVER GETS APPOINTED TO FILL OUT THE FIVE CLOWNS, THEY NEED TO BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.

THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR.

PUT THEM ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] NEXT IS REBECCA MCCULLY SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM F ONE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

HERE WE GO. HELLO.

I'M SPEAKING ON MY OWN BEHALF, AND MY VIEWS DO NOT REFLECT THOSE OF MY EMPLOYER.

SO I AM A FORMER PARENT, NOW AN ALUMNI AND A TAXPAYER.

AND I REQUEST ALSO THAT TRUSTEE XIAO'S SEAT BE PUT ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT TO LET THE COMMUNITY DECIDE.

I VOTED FOR HIM AND I WOULD LIKE THE INPUT ON HIS REPLACEMENT.

THE BOARD MAJORITY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE THIS DECISION AND APPOINT ANYONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR FOCUS ON STUDENT ACADEMICS AND SAFETY AND ACTED LAWLESSLY SINCE NOVEMBER 2020.

SO TRUSTEES WHO IGNORE TEA GUIDELINES TO PERMIT ON CAMPUS FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION WITH ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDY TEACHERS.

SORRY WE ARE NOT POSTED TO TALK ABOUT FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION.

WHILE, CAN I FINISH MY SENTENCE? WHILE ENSURING THEIR OWN CHILDREN HAD ACCESS TO SPORTS AND ATHLETICS, COACHES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE?

[00:25:02]

TRUSTEES WHO USE ILLEGAL AND UNETHICAL TACTICS SUCH AS WALKING QUORUMS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE.

TRUSTEES WHO HID DOMESTIC ABUSE ALLEGATIONS AND HAD PARENTS ARRESTED FOR ASKING ABOUT IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE.

TRUSTEES WHO PUT ADULT FOCUSED ITEMS SUCH AS NEVER ENDING CENSURES AND POLITICAL STUNTS ON THE AGENDA INSTEAD OF STUDENT FOCUSED ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE.

I WITHDREW MY CHILD TO HOME SCHOOL LAST WEEK BECAUSE THIS BOARD MAJORITY IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADULTS IN THIS ROOM THAN ABOUT STUDENT ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ON CAMPUS SAFETY.

THE COMMUNITY SHOULD DECIDE WHO FILLS HIS SEAT, NOT THIS LAWLESS BOARD MAJORITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] NEXT IS JENNIFER WHITE SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D 1 THROUGH 7.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

OKAY I DON'T SEE HER.

NEXT IS QUE TREN SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH NINE AND F ONE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

YOU ARE WORTHY OF CENSURE IF YOU FAIL TO MODEL THE BEHAVIOR EXPECTED BY OUR STUDENTS IN ROUND ROCK ISD SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING CONCEPTS SEL.

SEL OUR SKILLS THAT ALLOW CHILDREN TO CALM THEMSELVES WHEN ANGRY, MAKE FRIENDS, RESOLVE CONFLICTS RESPECTFULLY, AND MAKE ETHICAL AND SAFE CHOICES. ONE RECOGNIZING AND MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS.

WE OFTEN SEE OUTBURSTS OF ANGER, CRIES AND EYE ROLLING FROM CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD ON THESE DAIS.

TWO DEVELOPING, CARING AND CONCERN FOR OTHERS.

WE OFTEN HEAR VERBAL ATTACKS AND DEROGATORY FACEBOOK POSTS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OR THE TRUSTEES AND JUDGES ON THIS BOARD.

THREE, ESTABLISHING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

WE OFTEN SEE ACTIONS THAT DIVIDE A COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF BUILDING IT.

TRUSTEE HARRISON YOU SAT ON THAT DAIS AND YOU CALLED ME AND THE PEOPLE CALLING THE SUPERINTENDENT ALLEGATIONS RACIST AND XENOPHOBIC.

WHY DO EVERYTHING YOU SEE HAVE TO BE THROUGH YOUR SKIN COLOR? AND THEN SOME OF YOU CONSPIRE TO ARREST PARENTS WHO ARE SPEAKING AND POINTING OUT THESE CRITICAL ALLEGATIONS AND PUTTING OUT YOUR MALFEASANCE.

NUMBER FOUR, MAKING RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS.

I KNOW RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA.

AND ALL OF YOU WHO VOTED TO REINSTATE THIS MAN AGAINST THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE INVESTIGATOR YOU HIRED IS WORTHY OF CENSURE.

HE'S A DANGER TO OUR STUDENTS AND HIS EMPLOYEES AND MOST OF ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO REPORT TO HIM.

NUMBER FIVE, HANDLING CHALLENGING SITUATIONS CONSTRUCTIVELY AND ETHICALLY.

FIVE YOU BLINDLY PLEDGE AND SUPPORT HIM, OBVIOUSLY SELF-SERVING, TO COVER UP YOUR OWN MISDEEDS.

FROM ALL OF THIS, ALL YOU CAN CONCLUDE IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THIS BOARD NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND LEARN WHERE THEY TAUGHT THIS.

YOU'RE TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] NEXT IS LINDA QUINTANA.

SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D THREE THROUGH SIX.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

LINDA QUINTANA.

OKAY. BRITNEY TRINITY SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH SEVEN.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

TRUSTEES THAT REQUEST CENSURE IS PAYBACK.

PULL POLITICAL STUNTS.

CHOOSE NOT TO ATTEND BOARD MEETINGS.

SUPPORT PEOPLE FORWARDING PRIVILEGED INFO REGARDING LAWSUITS AGAINST ROUND ROCK ISD TO THE PUBLIC AND MAKE RACIST ABLEIST BIGOTED TRIGGERING COMMENTS ON SENSITIVE SUBJECTS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO BE A TRUSTEE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR THE RESIGNATION OF DR.

BONE AND DANIELLE WESTON.

I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVE IF THE FIVE THAT WERE SADLY BEING CONSIDERED FOR CENSURE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND FIND REPLACEMENTS FOR THEM.

AS A STAFF MEMBER, IT'S FRUSTRATING TO SEE THESE THINGS CONTINUING TO BE COMING UP, AND I BELIEVE THAT TRUSTEE WESTON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THAT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTS FLOATING AROUND AND ALSO RUMORS AND WHISPERINGS.

BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT DURING THESE BOARD MEETINGS, IF WE DON'T SEE THINGS HAPPENING THAT ARE GOING TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT, IT'S HARD AND IT'S FRUSTRATING FOR YOU, TOO, I'M SURE. AND SO IF PEOPLE COULD RESPOND TO CALENDAR INVITES, ATTEND MEETINGS, COOPERATE WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP AND BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES THAT THE GROUP NEEDS IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR VIRTUAL SPEAKERS NEXT.

[00:30:02]

AND SHE DOES LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I'D LIKE TO THANK DR.

XIAO FOR HIS SERVICE, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHO THE BOARD APPOINTS TO TAKE HIS PLACE.

TRUSTEES BONE AND WESTON MUST BE SANCTIONED.

AS A CONSTITUENT, I'M APPALLED BY THEIR ETHICS VIOLATIONS, LIKE LEGAL VIOLATIONS, OBSTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR, LIKE NOT SHOWING UP TODAY AND THE WAY THEY WASTE ALL OF OUR TIME WITH THEIR BAD FAITH FILIBUSTERS OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS.

PERHAPS WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A SEPARATE MEETING TODAY IF NOT FOR TRUSTEE WESTON'S FOUR RETALIATORY AGENDA ITEMS, WHICH SHE'S NOT EVEN HERE TO DISCUSS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT IS [INAUDIBLE] SPEAKING.

ACTUALLY, MAYBE F ONE.

CAN YOU CONFIRM? AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

MINAJ JANG.

HI. MY NAME IS MINAJ.

YES, I'M TALKING ABOUT F1.

I'M SORRY. BEFORE YOU GET STARTED REAL QUICK, ARE YOU SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM F ONE? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

CAN START NOW. HI.

I'VE BEEN PRETTY NEW TO THESE MEETINGS.

THIS IS IN FACT MY THIRD MEETING.

AND BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD AND LISTEN, I DO FEEL THAT THE VACANCY FOR PLACE NUMBER ONE SHOULD NOT BE APPOINTED. I GET AN IMPRESSION THAT THE BOARD RIGHT NOW IS NOT ABLE TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS AND AS A GROUP.

SO FOR THEM TO APPOINT SOMEBODY ELSE TO ADD ON TO THAT IN DECISION MAKING, I THINK DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE RIGHT APPROACH.

SO PUTTING THEM ON THE BALLOT OR THE POSITION ON THE BALLOT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS JACK CHILES SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH D NINE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

JACK CHILES.

YEP. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

MICROPHONE WAS MUTED.

GO AHEAD. EVENING, LADIES, GENTS, THAT AMAZING TECHNICOLOR RAINBOW BETWEEN AND BEYOND.

WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF NEW FACES, SOME OLD CHESTNUTS.

SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO DOXED ME.

AT LEAST ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO FRAME ME FOR THE ASSAULT ON JENNIFER DIETERLEE AT THE 21ST OCTOBER BOARD MEETING.

AMAZING WHAT YOU FIND IN PEOPLE'S EMAILS WHEN THEY MAKE RIDICULOUS CLAIMS. TOMORROW'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING.

WESTON'S GOING TO GET HER DAY IN COURT.

NOT THAT ONE. THE OTHER ONE OR ANY OF THE OTHERS.

I'M SORRY, MR. CHILES. CAN YOU HOLD ON 1 SECOND? PAUSE HIS TIME. I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT AGENDA ITEM DID HE SAY SPEAKING OF.

D-1 THROUGH 6. WE NEED THE AUDIENCE TO PLEASE BE QUIET.

THANK YOU. I NEED TO TAKE A QUICK CONFERENCE WITH OUR ATTORNEY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

BY ALL MEANS.

OKAY. I'M SORRY, MR. CHILES.

I WAS JUST CONFIRMING THAT ANYTHING DISPLAYED LIKE THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO SOMEONE HOLDING UP A SIGN IN A BOARDROOM SO YOU CAN HOLD UP SIGNS ON VIRTUAL RIGHT NOW UNTIL THE THINGS WERE TO CHANGE.

THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SIGN SOMEBODY HELD UP A SIGN ALREADY.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE SPEAKING TO AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

MR. CHILDS, YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE.

MY APOLOGIES FOR JUST NEEDED TO CHECK FOR.

NO. NO WORRIES AT ALL.

DOT THE I'S, CROSS THE T'S, YOU KNOW, UNLIKE CERTAIN TRUSTEES WITH THEIR INFORMATION SECURITY HABITS.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW IN COURT SORRY, WE'RE NOT POSTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.

SINCE SHE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO HERE BE HERE FOR HER OWN SANCTION HEARINGS, WHICH SHE PUT ON THERE.

WASTING OUR TIME, OUR EFFORTS, OUR MONEY.

WE CAN CERTAINLY DO BETTER THAN THAT.

WE CAN CERTAINLY DO BETTER THAN A TRUSTEE WHO DECIDES TO SANCTION EVERYONE IN RETALIATION FOR HER OWN MISDEEDS BEING CALLED OUT.

WE'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD, WHAT, NOW? FIVE OR SIX TIMES.

AND SHE STILL CAN'T MANAGE TO GET UP THE EFFORT TO COME IN TO TAKE CARE OF HER OWN WORK, LEAVING IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

WE ALL KNOW WHY.

30 SECONDS.

SO I'LL BE BLUNT.

IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO DO THE JOB, SHE NEEDS TO GO.

AND WHETHER IT'S BEING OVERRULED BY FIVE TRUSTEES WHO ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOBS OR BY JUDICIAL ORDER TOMORROW,

[00:35:01]

AND THAT ASSAULT.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU FIND IN HER EMAILS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S GOOD EVIDENCE THAT'S TIME. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU. NEXT IS JESSICA PRYOR SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D ONE.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

I DON'T SEE YOU ON THE LIST.

LAST IS KATIE KISER SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEMS D SIX THROUGH EIGHT.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT? YES, MA'AM. CAN YOU ALL HEAR ME? YES, MA'AM. GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I AM SPEAKING ON ITEMS D SIX THROUGH D EIGHT.

I DID WANT TO BE THERE IN PERSON, BUT I ALSO WITH AMY WEIR HAVE BEEN COVID POSITIVE THE LAST FEW DAYS, SO YAY.

I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE CENSURING OF WESTON IS ABOUT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY AND THE REST OF THE CENSURES THAT ARE UP ARE IN SPITE.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE.

I AM IN FAVOR OF CONTINUING THE CENSURE PROCESS ON BOTH BONE AND WESTON.

WESTON FOR EMAILING HER FAN CLUB CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION SPECIFICALLY TO PEOPLE THAT ARE SUING THE DISTRICT AND HAVE SENT HER DONATIONS, INCLUDING TEXAS STATE OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF THE RIGHT WING MEDIA.

HIRING THE LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE THIS WAS APPROVED IN DECEMBER.

WE ALL SAW IT.

ALSO SHE BECAME SO CLOSE WITH TEXAS SCORECARD THAT THEY EVEN SHARE THE SAME LAWYER.

ADDITIONALLY, WESTON ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE SOMEONE FROM THE SHAC SIMPLY FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST HER.

SHE ALSO ADMITTED TO FALSIFYING MEDICAL DOCUMENTS TO AVOID COVID PRECAUTIONS.

IN ADDITION, SHE HAS SAID THINGS FROM THE DAIS WHICH I BELIEVE MAY CONSTITUTE HARASSMENT.

I'M NOT SURE. MOST RECENTLY, SHE CRITICIZED EATING HABITS OF OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE.

THIS TYPE OF CRITICISM OFTEN LEADS TO POOR MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES, INCLUDING POOR BODY IMAGE AND EATING DISORDERS.

MARY BONE'S OFFENSES ARE LESS ILLEGAL, BUT IN MY OPINION FOR HER IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OBSTRUCTING.

IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU ALL WERE GIVEN CERTAIN TASKS THAT YOU HAD TO ACCOMPLISH.

30 SECONDS. FOR THE TEA MONITOR HER FLAT OUT REFUSAL TO EVEN LOOK AT HER CALENDAR TO SCHEDULE MEETINGS IT'S OBVIOUS OBSTRUCTION.

SHE IS ON PURPOSE, CAUSING A LACK OF QUORUM AT SEVERAL MEETINGS.

IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SHE'S PUSHING OUR BOARD TO BE IN A FULL CONSERVATORSHIP, WHICH WOULD TAKE AWAY THE MAJORITY VOICE OF THE DISTRICT.

I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS SINCE SHE THINKS SHE'S A MINORITY.

SHE EVEN ADMITTED THAT SHE DOESN'T READ IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS BEFORE MEETINGS.

THIS CAUSES SO MANY UNNEEDED QUESTIONS AND EVEN MORE OBSTRUCTION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S THE END OF OUR SPEAKER LIST.

WE'LL GO TO THE THREE PEOPLE THAT DID NOT COME FORWARD WHEN THEIR NAME WAS CALLED.

FIRST IS JENNIFER WHITE, SPEAKING ON AGENDA ITEM D ONE THROUGH SEVEN.

AND YOU DO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

SHAMEFUL. THE CENSURING.

FIRST OFF, SUPER EXCITED.

I'M EXCITED FOR YOU, JUN EXCELLENT.

GOODBYE. GOOD RIDDANCE. HAVE FUN.

I ACCEPT YOUR RESIGNATION.

THE REST OF YOU. IT'S SHAMEFUL TO CENSURE.

I MEAN, REALLY THINK ABOUT IT WHEN YOU ESPECIALLY YOU THINK LONG AND HARD, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS REALLY HARD AND DIFFICULT WHEN YOU WERE HAVING TO MAKE A DECISION TO BRING HIM BACK. THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU GOT A LETTER? YOU IGNORED IT. IT WAS A CRY FOR HELP.

REMEMBER, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE CENSURED FOR.

JUN YOU SHOULD BE CENSURED FOR ALL THE CRAZINESS YOU'VE DONE TO DANIELLE.

YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT HE'S DONE BETWEEN THE TWO.

YOU SIT BETWEEN THE TWO AND YOU IGNORED IT.

HAVE YOU ACTUALLY PUT IN A CENSURE FOR HIM? NO.

AMBER. THERE'S SO MUCH ON THE LIST WE COULD SAY HOW YOU SHOULD BE CENSURED.

DID YOU INSERT YOURSELF INTO AN INVESTIGATION? HAVE YOU BEEN PROTECTING HIM? HE CAN'T EVEN PUT HIS HEAD UP.

THAT'S HOW SHAMEFUL YOU ARE.

BRING IT. YOU.

YOU LIED, TIFFANY YOU LIED.

YOU SAID THE CASE WAS CLOSED.

HE WAS NOT GOING TO BE CHARGED.

Y'ALL BEWARE.

GET SOME POPCORN BECAUSE IT'S COMING.

IT'S COMING, HONEY.

SO YOU ALL SHOULD BE.

AMY WEIR CAN'T FORGET.

CAN'T FORGET ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNEW.

SOMEONE TOLD YOU.

YOU TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON, THAT HE WAS UNFIT AND THAT THERE WAS AN EMAIL TO THE DISTRICT THAT HE WAS UNFIT TO BE SUPERINTENDENT.

AND YOU TOLD HIM. YOU TOLD HIM.

AND GUESS WHAT HE DID.

JULY 6TH.

YOU GIRLFRIEND ARE ACCOUNTABLE.

YOU ALL SHOULD BE CENSURED.

YOUR EMBARRASSMENT.

SO REFLECT ON YOURSELVES.

YOU'RE SHAMEFUL. YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

BUT PRAY. DID YOU FAST?

[00:40:03]

THANK YOU. NEXT IS LINDA QUINTANA.

[APPLAUSE] IS LINDA QUINTANA AVAILABLE OR JESSICA PRYOR? OKAY. THAT'S THE END OF OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[D. CLOSED SESSION (Part 1 of 3)]

IN FACT, THIS MEETING HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS A SPECIAL MEETING REQUEST BY TRUSTEE WESTON.

IT WAS SECONDED BY TRUSTEE BONE.

THEY ARE NOT HERE.

IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HERE IF AT LEAST HAVE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE FOR A SANCTION OR CENSURE DISCUSSION. BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE.

BE DIFFICULT TO DO D ONE THROUGH FOUR BECAUSE TRUSTEE WESTON WOULD NOT LET ME KNOW WHAT THE CONTENT OF THAT WAS, BUT WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH AGENDA ITEMS FIVE, SIX AND 7.

D 5, 6 AND 7, OR WE CAN TABLE THOSE TILL A FUTURE DATE.

I THINK THAT ONCE THERE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY, THEN THE NEXT TIME THIS IS PLACED, IF SOMEBODY CHOOSES NOT TO ATTEND THAT, I THINK THAT WE COULD MOVE FORWARD. BUT THIS IS MY OPINION.

DO I HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I'D LOVE TO CONFER WITH LEGAL IN CLOSED.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION NOW FOR AGENDA ITEMS D ONE THROUGH SEVEN.

SO BEAR WITH ME.

PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 AND 551.074.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION BEFORE WE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.

I WOULD LIKE TO LIMIT DISCUSSION TO EACH ONE OF THESE AGENDA ITEMS TO NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES PER ITEM.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

OKAY I HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? NONE.

ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

TRUSTEE WEIR ARE YOU VOTING? I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN SINCE I CAN'T GO TO CLOSED ANYWAY.

ALL OPPOSED? ABSTAINING? OKAY MOTION PASSES 4 0 1.

WE WILL SPEND NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES PER AGENDA ITEM.

IT IS 6:17.

WE WILL BE CONDUCTING CLOSED SESSION IN THIS ROOM.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE AUDIENCE TO VACATE THE ROOM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TRUSTEE FELLER. I'M GOING TO JUST I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAST TWO.

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GO IN FOR ONE THROUGH SEVEN? OKAY.

[E. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS (Part 1 of 3)]

I'M HAPPY TO MAKE IT.

[D. CLOSED SESSION (Part 2 of 3)]

[00:45:10]

I HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED? ABSTAINING? MOTION PASSES 4 0 1.

ALL RIGHT WE ARE TO OUR LAST ITEM.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO INTO CLOSED FOR AGENDA ITEM D 9.

WE ARE TO AGENDA ITEM F ONE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ACCEPTING THE RESIGNATION OF PLACE ONE TRUSTEE, DR.

JUN XIAO, AND THE PROCESS TO FILL THE VACANCY.

ON THE AGENDA WE DID POST A COPY OF DR.

XIAO'S SIGNED RESIGNATION FORM.

I DID RECEIVE IT IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY.

SO IF WE MOVE TO ACCEPT HIS RESIGNATION TONIGHT, IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE TODAY.

IF WE DON'T MOVE TO ACCEPT HIS RESIGNATION, IT BECOMES AUTOMATICALLY EFFECTIVE IN EIGHT DAYS.

I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO POSSIBLY DR.

AZAIEZ OR MS. HILL, MR. WOOLSTON, TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR THE DISTRICT, ABOUT EVEN DISCUSSING WHAT DR.

XIAO IS ABLE TO DO UNTIL THAT POSITION IS FILLED.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT FELLER, I THINK WE WILL LET OUR LEGAL TALK ABOUT THAT.

I'M SURE VALERIE ALSO WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND ADD.

[E. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS (Part 2 of 3)]

TONIGHT. IF YOU ACCEPT TRUSTEE XIAO'S RESIGNATION, THEN HE SERVES UNTIL SOMEONE IS EITHER APPOINTED OR ELECTED IN HIS PLACE.

YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND ACCEPT THAT TONIGHT THE BOARD HAS THE OPTION BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE YEAR LEFT IN THE TERM.

THE BOARD HAS THE OPTION OF APPOINTING SOMEONE TO FILL THAT POSITION UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION.

THE NEXT ELECTION WOULD BE IN NOVEMBER.

AT THIS TIME, THE BOARD WILL NEED TO CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO DO THIS SEPARATELY AS A SPECIAL ELECTION.

IT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE SAME DAY, OR IF YOU WANTED TO DO IT ALL AS PART OF THE SAME ELECTION.

THAT'S A DECISION THAT YOU WOULD MAKE AT YOU KNOW, A SUBSEQUENT BOARD MEETING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO CALL EITHER A SPECIAL ELECTION OR INCLUDE THIS AS PART OF THE REGULAR ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

BUT BOTTOM LINE IS THE POSITION WOULD BE REFILLED IN NOVEMBER.

SO IF I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU SAID CORRECTLY, WE COULD APPOINT SOMEONE IN THE INTERIM BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER, FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER, WHATEVER IT IS, THAT PERSON, WHOEVER WE APPOINTED, IF WANTED TO CONTINUE IN THAT SEAT, WOULD NEED TO FILE FOR ELECTION AND FILE FOR THE SAME SEAT, I IMAGINE.

I GUESS THEY COULD CHANGE SEATS.

I DON'T KNOW. BUT YOU COULD YOU WOULD HAVE THAT PERSON FILE FOR THE SEAT FOR THE UNEXPIRED TERM.

AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN DO THAT EITHER AS A SEPARATE SPECIAL ELECTION.

[D. CLOSED SESSION (Part 3 of 3)]

BUT BOTTOM LINE IS IT WOULD THEY BOTH HAPPEN ON THE SAME DAY.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO APPOINT SOMEONE, Y'ALL HAVE ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES ON HOW YOU DO THAT.

[E. CALL BACK TO ORDER/EXECUTIVE SESSION MOTIONS (Part 3 of 3)]

YOU HAVE POSTINGS THAT WOULD NEED TO GO UP FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO APPLY FOR THAT POSITION THAT I BELIEVE THE EARLIEST WE CAN GET THAT POST, IT WOULD BE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THURSDAY.

THEN THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE HOW LONG YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE POSITION.

I MEAN, THE APPLICATION PROCESS OPENED.

ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE.

THERE WERE SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU LEAVE IT OPEN FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF WEEKS, MAYBE THROUGH THE CLOSURE OF THE CENTRAL OFFICE, MAYBE THROUGH JULY 5TH,

[F. ACTION ITEMS]

THOSE INTERVIEWS WOULD BE IN PUBLIC AND IN A PUBLIC FORUM.

SO I HAVE A SILLY QUESTION.

SO IF THE SPECIAL ELECTION IS ON THE SAME DAY OF A GENERAL ELECTION, IS THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OF THE TWO YEAR OR FOUR YEAR TERM? NO, THE DIFFERENCE IS WITH REGARD TO SPECIAL ELECTIONS.

WE'VE GOT DEADLINES UNDER THE REGULAR ELECTIONS.

THEY'RE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DEADLINES UNDER A SPECIAL ELECTION WITH REGARDS TO HOW PEOPLE FILE, HOW LONG THEY HAVE TO FILE, WITH

[00:50:01]

THAT'S PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY.

THE REASON THAT SOME PEOPLE DO IT SEPARATELY AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A DECISION AND I'LL GO THROUGH ALL THE PROS AND CONS WITH THE BOARD AT A LATER POINT WHEN WE'VE GOT THAT POSTED.

BUT ONE OF THE REASONS WOULD BE PERHAPS THAT YOU YOU HAVE A POSITION FOR AN UNEXPIRED TERM, AND YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON WHO WANTS IT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION THAT'S HOTLY CONTESTED WITH MANY CANDIDATES.

IF, RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THAT ELECTION, IF YOU SEPARATE THE TWO, THEN YOU COULD CANCEL ONE OR VICE VERSA. IF YOU HAD NO CONTESTANTS OR YOU HAD ONE CONTESTANT FOR EACH OF THE THE REGULAR POSITIONS AND YOU HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE VYING FOR THE VACATED POSITION, THEN IF THEY'RE PUT TOGETHER, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REGARDLESS.

YOU COULDN'T CANCEL ONE OR THE OTHER ELECTIONS.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE ELECTION? IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY RUNNING [INAUDIBLE]? YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU ONLY HAD ONE CANDIDATE FOR A POSITION.

I DON'T SEE THAT AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMMUNITY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IN SOME COMMUNITIES THERE YOU MAY ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON RUNNING FOR A POSITION.

SO TONIGHT, WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT HIS RESIGNATION.

AND THEN WE NEED TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO FILL IT OR IF WE WANT TO LEAVE THAT SEAT VACANT UNTIL THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

THOSE ARE OUR TWO DECISION POINTS TONIGHT.

THAT IS CORRECT.

AND I'M SORRY, AN ONE MORE DECISION POINT, HOW LONG YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE, HOW LONG OF A PERIOD YOU WANT TO TAKE APPLICANTS? GO AHEAD, TRUSTEE HARRISON.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION OF PLACE ONE TRUSTEE DR.

JUN XIAO, EFFECTIVE JUNE 14, 2022.

SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND ANY DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, DR.

XIAO. OH THANKS. ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR.

HONESTLY, [INAUDIBLE] MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH.

ALL IN FAVOR. RAISE YOUR HAND.

YOU CAN VOTE ON YOUR.

BE KIND OF FUNNY.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. BEFORE WE VOTE.

SORRY. ONCE WE ACCEPT THIS, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.

HE CAN'T CHANGE HIS MIND. CORRECT.

BUT THAT IS CORRECT.

HOWEVER, UNDER THE HOLDOVER DOCTRINE, HE RETAINS HIS POSITION ON THE BOARD WITH ALL RIGHTS AND DUTIES TO EITHER ATTEND OR VOTE ON THINGS UNTIL YOU PUT SOMEONE IN THAT POSITION.

SO THAT MEANS THAT UNTIL SOMEONE FILLS THAT SEAT, WHETHER IT'S AN APPOINTMENT OR AN ELECTION, HE CAN ATTEND ANY MEETING HE WANTS, HE CAN VOTE.

HE WILL STILL RECEIVE UPDATED EMAILS.

HE WILL STILL BE A FULLY FUNCTIONING MEMBER OF THIS BOARD TO THE EXTENT THAT HE WANTS TO UNTIL IT'S REPLACED.

THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S REALLY CLEAR BECAUSE HE CAN JOIN ON A ZOOM MEETING IF HE WANTED.

THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR OF RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED. SEEING NONE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, DR.

XIAO. ALL RIGHT.

TRUSTEE HARRISON.

WANTED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION.

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING QUORUM ISSUES, AND I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE UNWISE FOR US TO LEAVE THE SEAT OPEN.

BUT I DO THINK, OBVIOUSLY, IT NEEDS TO GO UP FOR ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION.

OTHERWISE, I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION.

BUT READY FOR THE MOTION? OKAY. COULD IT BE COMBINED INTO THE SAME ONE? BOTH THE TIMELINE FOR HOW LONG WE LEAVE THE APPLICATION OPEN AND MOVING FORWARD ON THIS? DOES MY QUESTION MAKE SENSE? LIKE I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE TO SERVE UNTIL THE NOVEMBER 2022 ELECTION, AND THAT WE LEAVE IT OPEN FOR A WEEK PAST STAFF RETURN FROM BREAK.

IS THAT DOABLE? IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? I THINK IT MIGHT WORK.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I SAID.

IS THAT THE OFFICIAL MOTION? PARDON. JULY 12TH.

OKAY, SO LET ME TRY IT AGAIN.

I MOVE THAT THE BOARD TAKES THE NECESSARY STEPS TO APPOINT SOMEONE TO REPLACE DR.

XIAO IN PLACE ONE UNTIL THE NOVEMBER 2022 ELECTION.

AND THAT WE ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH JULY 12, 2022.

[00:55:02]

I HAVE A MOTION AN A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? TRUSTEE WEIR DID I SEE YOUR HAND GO UP? I HAD THE SAME COMMENT ACTUALLY, THAT TRUSTEE HARRISON DID MY CONCERN ABOUT OUR BEING ABLE TO HANDLE QUORUM.

IF THERE WERE JUST THE FOUR OF US AND SOMEONE WERE TO BE IN MY POSITION, WE WOULD.

GIVEN THAT WE HAVE TWO TRUSTEES THAT DON'T ATTEND ALL THE TIME.

I WOULD SAY WE NEEDED TO APPOINT.

SO SHE ALREADY SAID THAT.

OKAY, GREAT. SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL OPPOSED? NONE SEEN.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE FROM US ON THIS? NO, I JUST SAY THAT WE WILL HAVE THE APPLICATION UP FOR APPLICANTS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

AND IF YOU CAN, JUST A REQUEST FROM ME, SEND THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES TO THE BOARD ON HOW THE PROCESS I KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR THE VACANCIES BACK IN 2017.

BUT JUST IF NOBODY'S AWARE OF WHAT THE PROCESS IS ON HOW WE FILL IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

THAT'S FINE. AND ONCE AGAIN, THE APPLICATION IS FAIRLY SIMPLE.

BUT PEOPLE DO NEED TO BE AWARE THAT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR ADDRESSES, VOTER CERTIFICATION, THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE WILL BE, I BELIEVE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BOARD HAD PREVIOUSLY DECIDED THAT THERE WOULD BE ALSO BACKGROUND CHECKS AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO BACKGROUND CHECKS BEFORE THEY COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR AS AN APPLICANT.

OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS FROM THE BOARD REGARDING TO THIS AGENDA? SEEING NONE. IT'S 8:32 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
