Thank you John. Okay we'll be moving into policy now. We just have one first reading policy KB public information program. Gina is joining us. Good evening. The policy that we're looking at here that's just very minor modifications to more closely align it with the MSEC 6 focusing on two way communications and strengthening communications with stakeholders. Does anyone have any questions on this? It's a first reading so this is the opportunity to make any changes. Yes sir. Yes I had emailed mostly about on the top of page two. No middle of page two effective communications number four promote a climate of trust. That statement while it's a beautiful intention is a vague statement and if we are going to include it I would love for either us or you to put some actual like meat behind what we mean when we say. Trust promote a climate of trust is that transparency accountability communications. Sure we can look to tweak that of course having the information in our communications plan will be available on the website when we launch it next week. I think when people go there they'll find it to be more centrally located so they'll be able to see how we communicate what our expectations are how we work with the media so by I think building this web hub. It will look more transparent and look you know more trustworthy but certainly we can look to tweak the policy language.

I think when people go there they'll find it to be more centrally located so they'll be able to see how we communicate what our expectations are how we work with the media so by I think building this web hub. It will look more transparent and look you know more trustworthy but certainly we can look to tweak the policy language. And I actually think one two and three kind of is what is what goes in adds up to four like all of those things. So I don't know. What? Yeah like maybe we don't even need for because one two and three to me do promote a climate of trust if you're doing those things. I agree or you can say in all communications. Put it in that sentence above the board with a colon and then just the one two three. Yes. Thank you. I think it's great. They're actually putting this on the website and there'll be a lot like a live living thing that parents. If they ever should need it or actually go and easily access it. So that's great. And even for us as a board to see the communications plan and all of that laid out on the website will be great for us to website launches next week. So exciting. Thank you for all your work. Yeah.

Any questions or comments on any of the consent agenda items, Pam? Yes. 8.3, I think, and 8.4 are contracts with ongoing external sources for mental health or social emotional support for our students, K-12. And so I asked Dr.

Yes. 8.3, I think, and 8.4 are contracts with ongoing external sources for mental health or social emotional support for our students, K-12. And so I asked Dr. Patel, who spoke with Mike Sebe, I wanted to hear what Mike, this being his first year in our district, running this and evaluating these programs to hear what he thought, and he sent me a very thoughtful, detailed, if you want to speak more to it, but really a focus on there has not been data collected in the past on these interventions, and so moving forward this year he is and they will be collecting data and then analyzing whether these two programs are the most financially responsible way and effective way to add these supports to our students. Yeah, thank you. Any other comments on that consent? Nisha, would you add anything to what I said? No, I think that was a good summary. I think from Mike's perspective, him being new in the role, he really wanted to take the time, and he has expertise in this, to really analyze where we are. He met with them when he started in his role and they did provide him with data and it was surprising to him in our conversation, he said, we're paying for these services yet in the past they had never given us any data to show the impact that they were having, and so now he set that expectation.
