2. Land Acknowledgement
Presenter:
Board Chair Elizabeth Durant
Description:
Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across differences. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. The Parkrose Board of Education begins this effort by acknowledging that we are gathering on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Chinook, Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River in the Portland area. We pay respect to their elders past and present. We acknowledge them as the past, current and future caretakers of this land.

Subject:
15. Action Items 
Description:
Thank you for those public comments. A few procedural notes: A majority of the constituted committee is required for passing an action item. Majority for a 10-member budget committee is 6. Therefore, if only 6 members are present, a unanimous vote is needed for passing an action.(policy DBEA) This Committee will need 6 "I" votes to pass an action item. (the vacancy of Board Member position 1 or any committee member absences will not change the 6 votes required to pass an item.) Additionally note: abstentions count as a nay vote. Committee members are welcome to refer to the District Equity Lens while considering your votes tonight. It was linked on the agenda and available in print on the front table. One last procedural note: Once we continue to action items, discussion is not allowed until a motion has been made and seconded. We may not have a discussion without a motion and a second, so speak up now if you have further questions/comments.  (pause)
