Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />July 17, 2019 <br />Page 9 of 17 <br /> <br />Commissioner Lee thought maybe it could be worded such <br />would tie in social media but for the sake of the common good and society. <br /> <br />Commissioner James stated two similar questions he wrote were How to Encourage a <br />Diverse Community to interact and how Social Media can be used to bring the whole <br />Community closer together. He thought that fits fine into what the Commission is <br />doing and helps students learn where they fit into society and how they fit best into <br />society, not just what historically happened. He thought that would all fit into this <br />and he would support that. <br /> <br />Youth Commissioner Iverson thought the Commission should include a form for <br />teachers asking for feedback when submitting the applications because that <br />will give a better indication to the Commission of what the teachers want to teach the <br />students. <br /> <br />The Commission liked that idea. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann asked if the Commission wanted to go with question five, could it be <br />floated out to the teachers beforehand to see if that would be something the teachers <br />would want as a question. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson explained that could be done but typically the response is typically pretty <br />low at that time of the year because the teachers are trying to get their curriculum and <br />classroom setup and do not have a lot of lead time either. She suggested if the <br />Commission wanted to float those ideas out to do it before the end of the school year <br />and give the teacher the summer to respond. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann suggested the Commission focus on the possible question and if the <br />Commission wants to move forward with question five or merging the two topics of <br />Community Engagement plus Social Media. <br /> <br />Youth Commissioner Iverson indicated he would like to merge them. <br /> <br />Commissioner James thought by merging the two topics it would bring the student to <br />discussing how it has involved them and included them, what does the student think <br />and what is their experience and how can society make this better. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson thought with every essay contest the Commission tries to get <br />the students point of view and their experiences. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann entertained any Commissioners ideas for question wording. <br /> <br />Commissioner Macomber explained when the Commission was talking about the <br />Good Community Member section there was a suggestion on how to engage young <br /> <br />
