ON BEHALF OF SAN JUAN TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, WE TOO ARE HAPPY FOR YOU AND WE'RE PROUD OF YOU. WE'RE SO PROUD IN THE WAY THAT YOU APPROACH YOUR CRAFT, HOW CREATIVE YOU ARE, HOW YOU LOVE EVERY STUDENT, HOW YOU NEVER STOP PROVIDING EVERY SUPPORT THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN FOR ALL STUDENTS SO THEY CAN ACHIEVE THEIR BEST. THAT'S JUST AMAZING. THAT'S SO HARD TO DO AND YOU SET SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE AND TO HAVE YOU REPRESENT ALL PRACTITIONERS IN SAN JUAN UNIFIED, IT JUST, IT'S SO PERFECT TO HAVE YOU DOING THAT. AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. AND I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW PROUD YOUR FAMILY IS, YOUR FRIENDS ARE, BUT WHAT I'M ALSO THINKING IS THOSE WHO ARE PROBABLY MOST PROUD ARE YOUR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THE DYER-KELLY COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY GET TO EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY AND THEIR LIVES ARE BETTER BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DO, HOW YOU BRING YOUR CRAFT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL. SO CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SO WELL DESERVE THIS. YOU'RE WELCOME. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS) -AND NOW IT TRULY IS MY HONOR TO INTRODUCE OUR TEACHER OF THE YEAR, MELISSA OATES.

WE ARE AT ITEM E, VISITOR COMMENTS AND WE DO HAVE VISITOR COMMENT CARDS. THANK YOU. MS. RAI, WOULD YOU FACILITATE? COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES. THE CLOCK ON THE SCREEN COUNTS DOWN THE TIME. UNDER THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT, THE BOARD IS NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA. SO WE ARE NOT IGNORING YOUR COMMENTS. WE JUST CAN'T RESPOND TO ANY INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS. THE SUPERINTENDENT CAN REFER ITEMS TO STAFF WHO CAN FOLLOW UP WITH US. MS. RAI, PLEASE FACILITATE THE VISITOR COMMENTS. -[MISS RAI] OF COURSE. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MARTIN ROSS, FOLLOWED BY BJ COMBS. -HEY EVERYBODY, MY NAME'S MARTIN ROSS. I'M A CARMICHAEL RESIDENT AND I WANTED TO SAY GREETINGS TO PRESIDENT BASSANELLI, EXCUSE ME, SUPERINTENDENT BASSANELLI, PRESIDENT COSTA, ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS AND MRS. CUNNINGHAM AND ALL THE CITIZENS AND STAFF. I WANTED TO COMMENT ON MEASURE P. SO MEASURE P IS A BOND MEASURE TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL'S INFRASTRUCTURE. AND I'M PROUD THAT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL BOARD UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED THIS. AND SO I DO SO 100%. I SUPPORT IT BECAUSE IT HELPS PROVIDE ACCESS, WHICH IS A FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO OUR COMMUNITY WORK. AND THAT'S ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY. IT WILL HELP PROVIDE ACCESS TO FUNDS FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, LEAKY ROOFS, AND HOPEFULLY MUCH-NEEDED AIR CONDITIONING FOR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES IN WAREHOUSES AND SCHOOL KITCHENS, SCHOOL SAFETY, FENCING, TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL SAFER OF THOSE STUDENTS AND STAFF AND FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS AND EVERYONE COMING IN AND OUT AS THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL AND GOING BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL. AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT WILL HELP OUR FACILITIES IN GENERAL SO THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE BEST FOR THEIR PATHWAYS TO CAREERS, WHETHER IT'S TO COLLEGE, TO TRADES, OR INTO THE MILITARY AS WE JUST SAW. SO HATS OFF TO THE BOARD AND THE STAFF FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. I'M PUMPING UP MEASURE P AS I'M TALKING WITH FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND PUSHING, WE'LL BE PUSHING THAT OUT WITH SUPPORT ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITE. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO AND GO MEASURE P, THANK YOU. -[PAM] THANK YOU. -[MISS RAI] OUR NEXT COMMENTER IS BJ COMBS, FOLLOWED BY CODY MOORE. -GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT COSTA AND SUPERINTENDENT BASSANELLI AND BOARD MEMBERS. I'M HERE TO PROMOTE VOTER REGISTRATION FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT. STUDENTS 18 YEARS OF AGE ARE ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE AND THOSE WHO ARE 16 OR 17 ARE ELIGIBLE TO PRE-REGISTER TO VOTE WHEN THE ELIGIBILITY IS CERTIFIED WHEN THEY TURN 18. THERE MAY BE A UNIVERSAL, DISTRICT-WIDE PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO REGISTER TO VOTE. AND IF SO, IF THAT EXISTS, I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THAT AND APPLAUD THAT. BUT IF THERE ISN'T A VOTER REGISTRATION PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS, IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO INITIATE A SIMPLE PROGRAM WITH INFORMATION HANDOUTS AND COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALONG WITH VOTER REGISTRATION CARDS TO BE AVAILABLE IN ALL HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES. THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTION IS OCTOBER 21ST. AS A FORMER ELECTION JUDGE FOR A DECADE IN MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE DESIRE TO INCREASE VOTER TURNOUT REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION. IF I CAN HELP PROMOTE VOTER REGISTRATION AMONG STUDENTS IN ANY WAY, I'M WILLING TO VOLUNTEER MY TIME AND MY ENERGY TOWARDS THAT EFFORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. -[PAM] THANK YOU SO MUCH. -[MISS RAI] NEXT SPEAKER IS CODY MOORE. -HOW'S EVERYONE DOING THIS EVENING? SO I'M A PARENT OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS THAT GO TO STARR KING ELEMENTARY. THEY'RE EIGHT AND FIVE YEARS OLD AND I DROPPED THEM OFF FOR SCHOOL THE OTHER DAY AND I NOTICED THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL, ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD, WALKING BY WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN A SPORTS BRA ON, AT WHICH POINT I GOT OUTTA MY CAR TO WALK MY DAUGHTERS UP BECAUSE BEING FIVE AND EIGHT YEARS OLD, THEY ARE IMPRESSIONABLE TO GIRLS THAT ARE A LITTLE OLDER THAN THEY ARE. IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION AT THAT POINT WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO A STAFF MEMBER'S ATTENTION AT STARR KING THAT THE SAN JUAN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD HAS NOW APPROVED THIS FOR THE DRESS CODE. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO DECIDED THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA AND FOR WHAT REASON THAT AT A K THROUGH EIGHT SCHOOL THAT THIS TYPE OF ATTIRE WOULD BE NECESSARY OR ACCEPTABLE IN ANY WAY. BUT YOU KNOW, WHOEVER DECIDED THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS ANY PLACE IN SCHOOLS. WITH THE NATURE OF
