So I guess, because I asked, is there an agenda? What is the goal? What are we going to be talking about during this work session? You know, is it just us just discussing ideas? What is the outcome of the meeting? Those are some things that I brought up. But also, you know, we've done it, I mean, you didn't do it during my, when I was elected, but the year I think in 2024, there were trustees that were invited to the table before, and we didn't call it a transition, but they sat at the table. So I would think that just, can I please finish? Of course, of course, please. So I think if I, I'm…
I don't know when it was. It was December 2024.
We don't need to fight about it. Yeah, I don't want to. What I mean is that. Again what are what is the outcome of the discussion what are we trying to address like you're you're saying like transparency you know all of that but what are we trying to get to is it to get a list of items of what we want to focus on for the rest of the year is it like what is the deliverable from the meeting so I think it would be if we are going to have a transition meeting which I think is a good idea I think it would be great to have it again
So I know, again, I'm not against the transition meeting, it's just the timing. I want it to be as effective as possible and as efficient, especially if we do already have know who the future trustees are might as well have them. Cause yeah, I agree with trustee Norton. I mean, we don't know if they're going to be able to attend, you know, October 21st when they are also in campaign mode as well. they don't know if whether or not they're gonna get elected or not so I I see value but I would try to be as efficient we don't have that many meetings left for the year we have a lot of top…
Transition planning meeting. Slash work study.
I just have a quick clarification. So during the governance, because I asked Superintendent Parks if we decide that we don't want to do it October 21st, are there agenda items that can be brought? And she said absolutely yes. So just wanted to clarify, if we decided to do a different date, she does have agenda.
So thank you for this. It's very helpful to look at the data. And you made a point about, so the questionnaire focused on depression. Is there any plans to look at anxiety? Because I know that That is a big driver, something that I've dealt personally with with my child. But sometimes anxiety drives like chronic absenteeism and being present or even skipping classes. So is there a plan to address that piece?
so I know in so I think it's slide nine where it had all the other the payment summary by funds yes do we have an idea because this is just in August do we have an idea of the trends like I know we're not Like, I know we were presented the bond fund and the sinking fund budget, but do we have, like, an idea of the trends from month to month when it comes to some of these funds? I know this is only a one snapshot, you know, for August, but... Do we have a sense of the trends?
Yeah, no. It's just how, I mean, definitely it's going to change from month to month based on the project and what we approve. And we don't expect to see. I think it's just like where we are in Target. But I don't know if we, okay.
So where does it so if our student count is greater than
So I know, so thank you for sharing this. And I know I brought this up during committee. Obviously, as Vice President Wilkes has said, you know, these are disparities. These are things that we have seen for many years, and we've been talking about it for many years, ever since I've been on the board. And honestly, the question is no longer about the gaps, because they're there. And it's about what are we doing intentionally to urgently close them. But when these disparities persist year after year, we have the responsibility to act. And I understand that there are some interventions that…
So for the insurance, how much would that mean with the increase in 5%? How much are we covering in general for their insurance?
