Ali Powers back in for number 10 Carrie. And the Eagles will inbound the ball underneath their own basket. Looks like they're in a stack here. They get it in the middle of the post. Alli Powers comes in and gets a block right away. She's going to push it up the floor to Leah. Back out to Adams. Leah West. Another three and off. Mary Harmon. Great board. As she would drive baseline, take it to the hoop. A good take. Couldn't come couldn't come up with the finish. Emma McQueen. Great defense right here again. And a steal. That's great defense. Emma McQueen. It's a great play indeed as her defense has been great all game. She continues to show. Leah West putting some pressure out. That is a and Emma McQueen gets a tip out of bounds.

West has missed, I believe, all of her three-point shots, but I think her her play inside has made up for it. Indeed. I like to see her out here getting pressuring these guards as she is not known to be a guard. number 40 with a great drive to the basket, finishes with a right hand. 33-9 your Pirates. Mary Harmon pushes it up and Leah in the post can't get it. Gets the offensive rebound. Can't get it again. And Alli P with the rebound and another one and that's off the Eagles. Pirates ball. Great job there by the Pirates. Mary Harmon will inbound the ball. Looks like they're in a box set here to Leah. Little handoff play and Leah with another pro move. I think you can definitely tell she's improved on her touch in the offseason. I think a lot of times she would force things.

She's had some great finishes today. And the bucket number 24. Reagan Hughes gets the foul. Bucket is good. She will shoot one free throw. Fuse at the line. Number 10 Carmen Their in for number 20 Emma McQueen as Emma McQueen played some crucial minutes there with some great defense and she will sit and take a breather. And number 24, Hughes will miss her for free throw. West with the ball, kicks it to Carmen factory. Pump fakes, drives baseline and kind of throws that one up. Another offensive rebound and one basket by West. She's too little. He's been playing great on the inside. Let's see if she can make the free throws. Good offensive rebound. way to crash the boards there by Leah West. Um, and also to finish with all those Lady Eagles there in the paint, but still able to finish in the face.

Ref's trying to dry that up. Pirates in another box set here. See what comes out of it and Adam drives the ball. Pull up the mark. Great job by Sarah Staff crashing the boards there. She doesn't get defense by Harmon with the steal pass to Powers and that was a travel. It's about the sixth one of the game. number 32 or seven and maybe eight, but I think uh that the these Lady Eagles and Lady Pirates just need to slow things down, get their feet set, and I think they're going a little too fast, but number four will bring the ball up for the Eagles.

Some great pressure by 12 Stap. Great tip there by Ali. [Music] Powers in and a travel, make it nine. Like I said, I think they just need to slow it down. And Leah West coming in for Sar Staff.

Wide open shot for the Eagles off the mark and an offensive rebound. But they will I mean come on. I think we're going to start keeping count here. That will be 10. Pirates working the ball around. Eagles still in their halfcourt press. Oh. Oh, [Music] another one. That will be number 11. Again, they're moving before they put the ball down. That is not allowed in basketball.

Nobody ever means for this to happen. You're not being punished today because you meant for this to happen.

It's been a interesting game here. First game for both teams, I believe. Indeed. 42 to1 Pirates lead. If you didn't know, we need four more points for a running clock. How many travels we have? Uh 13. 13, I believe. My bad for the uh chewing. Had to finish some M&M's before the half in. But we are all good now and we're set to go for the second half here. Pirates have the ball. Quinton set to inbound to Harmer. Eagles back in their half court zone and obviously did not work to start out the half as the Pirates score pretty easily there. Good pass, good layup by Carly Adams. Baseline drive number 143 and Eagles maintain one. That's a bad close out by number 42. Interesting pass there. It worked out. And West, her touch this game has just been impeccable. And Eagles working the ball around here.

Euro. And it's good. Basket. That'll be a timeout. 30 second timeout by the Pirates. Maybe wants to give them a breather. 507 here. Pirates up 33. Don't need to force anything. Five and a half minutes left here. Some more to know about the Pirates. Carly Adams is also the only junior returning to the program. She had the best three-point percentage for the Pirates last season. And she was also the second leading rebounder under Leah West. So, [Music] great to see her out here back at it and doing what she does best. three ball and that is unfortunate. Great shot. I mean, not not a terrible shot there by 24 Hughes, but just came up short. You can see her attitude's affecting it a little bit. Just keep shooting that thing. The Pirates throw it away. Who threw that away? I think that was Leah West.

let's stand for the pledge pledge allegations to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all ah all right okay we're going to move on to our board Workshop but you had a statement so yeah so uh tonight's meeting is a little goofy in the fact that we have a public hearing scheduled for 6 45 so the way that and it has to happen we have to wait for 6 45 for it to curb but it doesn't have to happen exactly at 6 45. so we're going to begin the portion opening portion of our meeting which is Gina's school report card report um if that concludes in under 15 minutes we may move on to iasb resolutions but at whichever point we finish an agenda item that is first after 6 45 we will jump to the public hearing hold the public hearing and then return to the superintendent's report so that's kind of where we're at so Gina here's your clicker that's very good all right so as you know or may know the Illinois State Board of Education released the school report cards last month and District 99 both North and South High School received a summative designation of commendable which is the same summative designation we had for the two years prior to the pandemic and then there was a bit of a pause or a hole and a carryover of those ratings and so we continue for the last several years with the commendable rating basically that means that our graduation rate is at least 67 percent we're not necessarily the top 10 percent of all schools and we have no underperforming symptoms so tonight we're going to look at a few key areas graduation rates because 50 percent of our rating is based on graduation rates we'll look at Ninth Grade on track an area that we are quite proud of we'll also talk about SAT scores and I'll also talk about the product absenteeism an area that we have so tonight we'll look at the four-year graduation rate which makes the majority of that 50 is based on the four-year graduation rate and as you can see our graduation rate is up from last year by 2.1 percent and the states is up as well a little bit less at 1.3 percent if you look at the years hosted basically five years you'll see that we pretty much have stayed on par and actually if you were to look at the average we're at 93.1 percent the expectation is that all schools are a 90 are above ninth grade on track ninth grade on track is obviously for freshmen to be considered on track a student wants to earn at least five credits to their freshman year and that does not count summer school that's during the school year they cannot fail more than one semester in what is considered by the state as a core course they consider Ela so that's English reading math social studies or science and this is an area that we have focused on last several years because studies show research shows that a student who is on track as a freshman will continue to be on track and graduate on time so ninth grade on track you can see that this has gone up significantly we're basically back to our pre-pandemic uh and actually a little bit past that rate you will notice in 2020 the 98 percent and that was a little higher than the previous year and a little higher than we have averaged in part because of the Do no harm where students can be penalized for the work that they did during the time that school was closed If you eliminate that year though then it's certainly the highest that we've had out of the five-year shown and actually it used to be called freshmen on track the state started this nine years ago and it will this is the highest we have been all nine years um so so it is the highest our average is 93.8 if you look at the last nine years and if the board will remember there was a lot of effort that was done in the buildings with our teachers and our staff and identifying students at risk of failing last year so a lot of work by our teachers and our students last year to get that number so we'll talk tonight about SAT scores and when we look at SAT scores we often look at the average score this is for the evidence-based reading and writing there's two parts that we look at the basically Ela part or evidence-based reading and writing in the math section and while it would be best to look at these scores in cohorts of students in the same way we look at graduation rates right we look at graduation rates we look at cohorts of students like the class of 2022 and they should graduate in four years and when we look at SAT scores it would be best to look at them in the same way as a cohort of students so to look at growth how students have grown and as you know the state several years ago before the pandemic hit instituted for freshmen to take the psat-89 sophomores to take the PSAT 10 and then Juniors to take the SAT and so that would give us a nice growth measure over time Baseline being that freshman year to how they've grown or where they've grown to by their junior year unfortunately during the pandemic that that was put on hold so we don't necessarily have great data in terms of growth just because of the the years that we didn't test nonetheless we'll look tonight a little bit at the scores and this is comparing students um average scores so in 2022 so those were Juniors last year so it's our current seniors 2021 it would be students that have already graduated so as you look at these scores we are down a little bit on our evidence-based reading and writing just over 12 points and the state is down approximately 10 points so we're we're both down a little bit but these are all only seniors these are our current seniors who took the test last April right but all of the yeah it's not the same student it's the senior class yeah each year absolutely thank you as we look at math actually in math um we also show a decline a very slight decline of almost three points 2.9 and the state shows 12.6 so while we declined slightly the decline was more significant for the states and once again I'm going to interrupt you Gina to point out that looking at that as a decline is not the proper way to look at that it's just the way we're forced to as Gina said because we don't have the students growth over time a more accurate view of this would be to look at that 2022 cohort as a whole the 2021 cohort as a whole and look at how we are comparing to the state averages and just look year to year we keeping kind of the same distance that we tend to keep year to year over this larger State cohort sorry Gina no reading and writing and you factor in the math scores word down approximately 15 points total and the state's down almost 23.

that we need to do some people call this the 21st century skills if you Google that you'll get a whole bunch of different uh ideas but in general you're talking about communication collaboration creativity flexibility initiative all of those pieces on top of informational literacy media literacy technology literacy numeracy all of those things so when we're talking about academics and we're talking about students being prepared for the future I want you to think not only about what can be measured on a standardized test but all of these things as well so now if you would like you can use your QR code and put that in place and then put in your own input of what you want our students to know in the future and it'll ask you for a word a phrase and you can enter as many as you want and then at the end of my presentation I'll show you the Wordle that we came up with together by creating our list of skills and administrators you can play along too if you'd like I'll get out of the way is it working for people from back there good find your way all right take just a couple of minutes to put in the skills that you think our students need in the future and you can continue to put those in while I'm talking so now I want you to sit back and think about how does our district provide all those skills for all those students that we need to do and you'll have some people that really come from that bluish purple circle of the science of teaching the research says here are the best practices and instruction here's what we need to do and you're right and then I'll have other people that are like it's all about trusting supportive relationships and being included and feeling like you have you know good supportive people at school and you're right and finding that right balance is difficult put your hands up if you have more than two children more than one child at home yep me too all right now put your hands back up if those two children need the exact same thing out of a teacher out of structure out of activities anybody got two clones that are exactly this no and then we have 17 000 of them coming into the district and how do we find that right balance which is different for almost every child student voice by listening to students and reacting not to just their aggregate but to their individuals we are so better prepared to find the right match between the science of teaching and that safe inclusive environment we do all of that in the middle of the climate for learning framework we find the perfect intersection of all of those with our climate for learning framework this drives almost all of our academic improvements so I'm going to go through pretty quickly and talk about those but I know anybody at the tables that you would talk with after this can give you more details about it as well so we start off with SEL instruction explicit SEL instruction and that is these five core social emotional companies competencies our schools have been teaching this for decades but it kind of has a new piece of that that has gotten a lot of attention but we're talking about these five things self-awareness do you know enough about yourself and how you learn self-management can you work toward completion of a goal and manage yourself do you have social awareness of other people relationship skills and responsible decision making the second thing is common expectations for Behavior we have 17 000 kids coming in we've got to have common rules for engagement we have to have common rules of how we're going to treat one another and we have to teach that that's the second component and then we have to continually reinforce it the third piece is integrating those social emotional skills into academic content if you're struggling with a real big math problem you've got to have some self-awareness you have to have some perseverance you have to have responsibility when you're engaging in a big discourse in social studies you need to be able to be socially aware and be respectful of others the next piece I talked about is youth voice and engagement so critical that we talk to our students we ask them what that is like how are we interacting with them and then give them opportunities to lead if you think about what's going to make them different from computers and make them marketable they have to lead they have to have practice making decisions making choices knowing how to continually learn because that amount of information is doubling every 12 hours the last the next piece is supportive cool school and classroom climates you have to have in this piece that research base what are the best practices in literacy instruction what are the best practices in numeracy instruction how do we get past all of this and then how do we keep our students engaged in the process from Early Childhood through 12th grade from special education to general education to English Learners what is the best way to do this the next component is Staff SEL staff needs to have self-awareness social awareness have a sense of belonging in order to be the best that they can be for students and then with supportive discipline we have to have yes the consequences but also how do we bring those students back in and teach them conflict resolution and teach them how are we going to move forward to have all those skills that they need in order to continue to succeed so our climate for learning I've just gone through all of those pieces now I'm going to talk just about the blue circle with that research-based practices student engagement is something we are working on so hard here in sd308 with collaborative structures with individual accountability and getting students moving talking engaging owning their instruction and then higher level thinking is a huge part of this and inquiry based where they're asking the questions and then seeking out the answers to their own questions a lot of that goes in with classroom management we're working hard to get better at utilizing data in SD 308 not only for the aggregate of how are we doing for everyone but how are we doing a different demographic groups and then we're working on learning targets just like at the beginning of this presentation I told you this is what I want you to get out of it it's really important especially with our older students that we do that for them as well and then we're working to have early interventions for reading and for math to make sure before kids are too far behind we catch them up where they need to be especially coming back from covid this is our math framework I'm not going to go through this you can relax but if you're really interested in it you can come over to this table in a few minutes and we can talk more about that this is our literacy framework where we can same thing we can talk more about that but the big piece is gradual release of responsibility where students are owning some of their learning and their outcomes then the other part of that circle is the safe inclusive learning environment many of us at the tables will talk about this as well but this is about having a school-wide behavioral expectations having an inclusive learning environment recruitment of diverse staff so that our students see themselves in our staff and our teachers and administrators and then this part is the amplifying student voice if you want to amplify you already saw some of the student Coalition and the student ambassadors at some of our board meetings we want to use student data to drive practice we want students questioning and ownership of their instruction in math the part of our literacy framework is that students are choosing texts during some part of the reading instruction so it's matching not only their reading level but their interests as well how have we supported these improvements we've hired 15 academic interventionists actually a couple more if I think about it more instructional coaches more counselors and social workers connected professional development on all of these pieces so that our staff see how all this goes together then we do have a five-year strategic Plan called Envision 308 that you can look for on the website I'm almost done Jen but you're sweet uh and then how do we monitor improvements our district team here as well as our other administrators we visit almost 2 000 classrooms a year to see are the plans that we have talked about tonight putting into place and then we have school and District plans that are all aligned with the things that I talked about we spend a lot of time reviewing student achievement data to know whether we're our impacts and the resources that we're using are having the right effect and then we do look at student community staff parents surveys on how we're doing so how can you learn more go to our website and look at Vision 308 you can go to the website and see our math and literacy Frameworks or you can come over here to this table you can review the Illinois report card or perhaps most importantly you can have a conversation with some of us tonight all right if you will go ahead and show the Wordle we'll look at how what our skills were that we collectively put together okay it's not updating okay so we got collaboration problem solving is Big critical thinking compassion empathy adaptability persistence social intelligence curiosity courtesy critical consciousness okay we're going to leave that up and people can put some things behind that if they want they can add more to that but as you have these conversations I encourage you to think about all of these plus the traditional Reading Writing math science and social studies content Dr sparlin all right thank you so much Miss dog West that was a lot of great information in a very short period of time so we're going to go ahead and start we're going to have like I said at the beginning we'll have three 15-minute sessions and uh when Once the first session is done after the first 15 minutes is up we'll let you know and then you can go to any of the six tables that are labeled to have conversations of your choosing so Ursula if you want to go ahead and put that up there and we'll be I'll be walking around to join some of those conversations but the 15 minutes for the first session starts now thank you oh okay that's the end of our first session so we're going to go ahead and restart the timer in just a moment so if you want to go ahead and finish the conversations that you're having at the table we'll give it another minute and then we'll go ahead and shift to session number two okay we're gonna go ahead and rotate if you're still in a conversation at your table though you you can stay at that table and continue the conversation but there's two more rotation 15 more 15 minute rotations in this evening's presentation thank you thank you foreign all right we're going to end our second session and make our way to

to start just summarizing what you've um I'm going to bring the mic to you just summarize some of the things that you that came up sure so at our table we have the general education table and we talked about three primary topics one was the student support time for students in junior high school who are taking high school math classes uh the second topic we kind of covered was social emotional health and education for students and suicide awareness hello so primarily we talked mainly about uh Tas and the TA shortages and what we can do to attract additional Tas to the district and to make sure that the pay is comparable to uh to attract them into the district and make sure that we have a great quality of Tas that we're also attracting to ensure that a taxpayer dollars are being equitably spent across the district we also discussed uh uh the facilities plans and the student fees and and how that money is also being allocated um let's see English Learners um concern was a limited capacity in the Dual language for English speakers we talked about um at Boulder Hill we actually needed more English speakers in Hong Kong there was more demand than what was available so fixing those types of issues recommendations suggestions uh bilingualism is a critical future skill we need to address the need for more space for DL um options maybe for in specials for language acquisition um yeah uh follow-up needed space expansion and then you know parameters around specials we had one of our talented um young students over at OE come over here and remind me about a visit I made a few years back as a board member to Murphy so that was uh touching to say the least and informed us I wanted to come over and talk about mental health bill that they were working on in um their youth government class thank you and also brought up the bill talks about consolidating uh non-unified school districts and using that money the savings if you will to redirect towards mental health funds for school districts so uh super super proud of some of the conversation we had there um also in the conversation there were some uh we were talking about some of the other bills that were brought up in in those class in that class and or the activity um and uh we're talking about bills about later school start times at high school and more conversation brought up more integration of SEL and making it more natural and easier for application and there were some conversations about the superintendent student advisory committee as well thank you we tried to get Tyler to talk he won't do it so we had many of the same conversations we also talked about increasing capacity of student voice and how they access learning we talked about school Community we talked about we kicked around some ideas with a digital platform we had lots of conversations but a lot of them were the same thank you at our table we have our special education leaders here and we were talking about how the Frameworks that Mrs dalquist presented on earlier are aligned in our special education with our special education students we also talked about Tas specifically our sped Tas and what they are up against with a lack of salary and schedule differences while the schedule works for some of them while their students are in school some of them are looking for a 12-month schedule and we had some really great discussion around how we can better support them with training and understanding what is expected of them when they walk in the door and then um Dr Hildebrand also brought up how we can better support our gen Ed teachers who are on the front line dealing with all different sorts of students who are presenting in the classroom and different strategies that they're using from support facilitation to co-teaching Etc so it was a great discussion learning about what's happening with our special ed population thank you Jen I'd also just like to thank everyone that is in attendance
