Good evening and welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, a nation divided, struggling to stand. Today marks one month since an angry insurrectionist mob stormed the u. S. Capitol. The broken glass and busted doors is been repaired. The political fractures remain. A few republicans voted to revogs the Committee Assignments of georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, a freshman lawmaker who has traffics in the same Conspiracy Theories and racist tropes that drove the january 6th rioters. Greene has shown support for executing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has behaved so towards her coworkers that one asked to have her office moved away from greene. When given the chance to deal with greene privately ended up giving her a standing ovation. Neck Week Senate Republicans will get their own chance to show they learned something from the events of january 6th when they begin the second Impeachment Trial for former president donald trump. Ill keep my expectations low. President joe biden to h
Comment, president sanchez. Sorry, go ahead. Thank you very much. On behalf of the Community Advisory committee for special education, i wanted to make a few comments here. Weve commented not only on the Student Assignment, but at the september 14th meeting for the Budget Service committee, where we saw the transportation presentation. The recurring theme here between Student Assignment and transportation is that the inequity is a cost driver. The fact that we dont have supports and services and programs at all of our schools means that Going Forward [simultaneous talking] our students have to be driven across town in some cases to get the appropriate program. And we have routes that go across the bay into multiple counties. One of the ways that we can fix this would be providing more support and services in our district, providing more supports and services at every school. And we would bring special education costs down and our transportation costs down. When we talk, though, also ab
President sanchez so were missing miss norton clerk moliga. President sanchez welcome to our staff and our families and our students particularly with us. Staff leaders and everybody and to my colleagues on the board. This is going to be quite a long meeting. Most likely quite emotional at times and im going to just make the case to the quorum that we need to treat each other with respect. Were not going to tolerate folks talking over other people, particularly our student delegates which happened last week, and so, again, we expect a quorum though we are discussing issues, theres a lot of emotion in this. And i may have to make that plea more than once, but, again, welcome, everybody. Section a is general information. And b is our opening items approval of the board minutes for october 6, 2020.

Team. Can i comment . Yes, please. I did leave it high level to work identifying who would sit on that task force. So, i did not specify it but depending on the discussion here with my colleagues, they feel it would be best serving. Its the super inten department is creating the task force, not lowell in and of itself. So, just president sanchez, i would be supportive of examining and evaluating the letter that i had read into the record including evaluating the culture. Sorry if im dragging this on. Since its made by the superintendent, would it ensure student representation is on this task force . Yes. Yes, is this dated in the amendment. It has including but not limited to students, families, educators, administrators and communitybased organizations. Students are first mentioned. So, to clarify, like, im just, theres a letter but im not clear on how specifically the staff is supposed to implement the task force based on a letter that was not written for this purpose. So im confused
