1. PUBLIC COMMENT
   Minutes:
   Seaside High School Parent Leader Francisca Arroyo thanked the Board for their great enthusiasm, school improvement and requested teachers be given an incentive for doing a great job. Ms. Arroyo requested the office staff be more welcoming to parents who want to help and support the school.
   Karmel York from Marina, thanked the administration and Board for their campaign on Measure I.
   Edgar Ibarra, Alexis Magdaleno and Seaside High School student Lynette expressed concerns of having School Resource Officers on campus. Edgar, Alexis and Lynette provided suggestions to the Board from students they have polled to use school funds for mentors, counselors, teachers, after school programs and school improvements.
   Attorney Leticia Cisneros with California Rural Legal Assistance shared there was a research done by the Congressional Research Office maybe in 2013, regarding investing on School Resource Officers to increase student safety. There was no definitive evidence that type of investment increased student safety but rather raised concerns of students of color being arrested for disciplinary issues.
   MBTA Tom Grych shared that 1-10 students don't express their gender as who they are. A couple of weeks ago, a high school had their female students wear one color and the male students wear another. Mr. Grych expressed this is an outdated dress code and graduating has nothing to do with gender. The District should consider not to allow this to happen in the future.
   MPUSD Parent, Erika Nava would like the District to use some of the Measure I money to provide more training for the leaders of the schools so that the leaders prepare all students to attend the universities and not set limits for students. An example Ms. Nava provided an example that her son no longer had an IEP but rather a 504 plan. This plan would help him if he were to work at McDonalds. Ms. Nava expressed how hard she and her son worked to exit his IEP. Ms. Nava has higher aspirations for her children and the children of the community and requested the District be a team for our children.
