AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY WITH REGARDS TO PROCEDURES AND WITH REGARDS TO WE NEVER WANT TO LOSE THE TRUST OF OUR PARENTS WHEN THEY DROP THEIR CHILDREN OFF WITH US.
BY YOU GOING THROUGH THIS APPEAL PROCESS HAS BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD.
BUT WE DO SEE THAT THERE IS A NEED THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH REGARDS TO COMMUNICATION AND HAVING PARENTS INVOLVED AND PARENTS FULLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S WHAT'S TAKING PLACE.
SO WITH THAT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT YOU CAME IN HERE AND IT FELL ON DEAF EARS AND YOU'RE OUT THE DOOR AND IT'S JUST A RUBBER STAMP BECAUSE THAT IS FAR, FAR FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
AND AS WE'RE GROWING AS A DISTRICT WITH GROWTH IN STUDENT POPULATION.
[00:05:01]
WITH THAT COMES ISSUES AND WE'RE LEARNING AND GROWING.AND I THINK THAT'S THE BEST THING.
IF WE DON'T LEARN, WE'RE NOT DOING OUR JOBS PROPERLY AS A BOARD BY BEING REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR CONSTITUENTS AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S DRIVEN AND DRIVEN DOWN AND OUR ADMINISTRATION IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT.
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.
I APPRECIATE YOU GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.
YOUR DAUGHTER NEEDS TO BE PROUD OF YOU AND YOU COMING UP AND DOING THIS BECAUSE IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE AND IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL TO WALK IN WITH SEVEN ADULTS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW FROM ANYBODY.
OKAY. THE BOARD'S BOARD'S DECISION ON COMPLAINT HAS BEEN DELIVERED AND THE PRESENCE OF MR. HILL. THEREFORE, ALL ACTION REQUIRED BY BOARD POLICY IN THE MATTER IS NOW COMPLETED.
I WILL NOW TURN OFF THE AUDIO RECORDERS AND THIS HEARING IS ADJOURNED.
SOME DAYS.
