7:30 am
together our staff questions and raymond worked diligently and came with some interesting data. this year there were more than 2 hundred and 70 concerns registered with the office and were interested in the concerns and some of the trend we learned about is the majority of family are elementary parent and there's concerns from high school but the highest numbers of complaints are bullying and most residents are referred to the office of family voice or referred by the education placement center. the majority of families are
7:31 am
latinos or african-american there's very few chinese using the services. why is it that there's a low percent of chinese families we don't know if there are barriers such a language. it seems unliken there are less concerns but we think it's something worth looking at. and possibly having another chinese staff member in that office. another question was are the practices of bullying being addressed. we know that some families are being offered the services but the families didn't want to use the processes or they felt the schools weren't interested so
7:32 am
it's something worth looking at and it's also reaching into schools and families as well within the schools with concerns about student behavior and 15 we wonder how saved parents and families are feeling with the relatives their getting through the office and we're not sure that information is being tracked but hopeful that would what about met through the office. we want to thank raymond for being open with us he he's promised to collect data in the future and bring it to our meeting. we hope that the district staff will look at the data and think of ways to improve the office

project would impact the administrative cost and two it have a legal opinion the legal higher propose would not violate the propose. it's based on purely statutory. it's not based on the ability of the district to serve as the engine or the potential to create jobs for the public. the cb oc requests to the district are motivated that clearly day that a higher policy can be implemented given the absence and the aubs absent of any case authority that is directly on point that
