Mr. Mr. President, members of the board policy advisory of A62 through A65 exhibit BAE require require a minor edit to enable those districts who choose the updated self evaluation tool to access the request form. Policies IA and JF are revised to comply with statutory updates. Policy advisor 866875. policy documents listed have either been removed, added due to newification, merger of policy documents containing similar topics or revised. See discussions below for specific information regarding each document. Documents not listed in this comparison document from section C did not change. The clean copy document link on the policy advisor communication provides the right section C in its entirety. Um I think I can just do I know the last time what was suggested was to be the policy advisory and the exhibit used to that for you know so we all used to first is policy advisory number 863 exhibit EAB evaluation school boards or self evaluation 864 policy IHA basic instructional program number 865 policy J Lif have sex offender notification.
Okay, I got it. Thank you so much. Absolutely. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Just want to say congratulations. Great job. We appreciate all the efforts of the finance department and your due diligence and um keeping our finances straight as a district. So I appreciate that a lot. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. Okay. Moving forward forward to action discussion item five. Dr. Cto. Oh, call. Sorry, we're voting on that. Okay, hold on. Okay. I move to accept the financial audit and compliance questionnaire from Heinfeld Meech and Company PC certified public account Accountants for fiscal year ending June 30th, 2024. Okay. Snap. Snap. Snap. Didn't pop up. Yes. Okay. Yes. I thought that I did, but yes. I'm going to refresh. It says I voted yes. You can just vote. Mike. Yes. Motion carries. Thank you. Okay. Now we can move on to item G5. Dr.
So, keep up the good work. Our students are accomplishing their goals. That's what makes me very proud and glad to put the time in to making our district better. Also, I hope that the foundation will continue to provide innovative and opportunities for all of our students. There are always ways to donate. So, make sure you go to the website and click on that donation button because that's how we keep that going. I will miss celebrating all of our students accomplishments. That's what I enjoyed most about being a board member. I will miss all of you the most. And along the way, I have made many friends and will not be you will not be forgotten. I hope to write a book someday that Jenny is suggesting on on just the uniqueness of my life. That's right. I do have one regret though. Of the 20 years I have been an advocate for this village to approve electronic signs.
Thank you. And uh thank you. Uh and so I I did get up uh and on behalf of 308 I delivered the message that here in 30 308 we embrace diversity. Here in 308 we embrace multilingualism and here in 308 we uh embrace multiculturalism as well. Um it was uh an honor to be there. It was fascinating and I will tell you 10 years ago to think that I would have parents coming up to me saying hey we're moving out of 204 into 308. can you give me some advice on uh like registering which you know I I did my best but uh obviously I told them there were people that could tell them better than me. Um that that's a that's a huge shift to say the least. I was impressed. Uh they were uh just so you know future board members they were very appreciative to have a board member there from 308.
Um, so that's another, you know, action step that we really that really went well for us that we want to be able to foster peer observation so that we can have teachers go into the classrooms of the pilot teachers and also the pilot teachers going into their classrooms and really looking and helping and supporting. So it doesn't seem like such a huge task at the beginning of the year. Um also we are going to continue to implement what we call our RTI block which is you know an opportunity for students to again have that tier differentiated instruction um and support them with with that different types of instruction as they see fit as they need it. Um also we are going to or our goal is to create and maintain an instructional leadership team as Dr. Dr. Thomas and I were working on this school improvement plan.
Yes. Yeah. What the hell is this is what I'm going to get. I know as a as a parent, you know, I'm going to hear a parent say that to me like, you just told me nothing. Well, you know, legally, I can't tell you anything specific to that child. Maybe I can give you generalities, but I can't I mean I can give you the safety plan for your child if they're the victim. Um, so it is I think this is the one where most educators bristle because I think I think the intention here is great. Like a lot of legislation, the execution rubs up really closely to Burpa and can't really put anything on this form meaningful, which is going to be a waste of our time and aggravate parents. So, you know what? I'll have conversations with parents certainly when I was a principal.
And um if you go to policy advisory 863, it's pretty much just the underlying part on page four, policy advisory 864, basic instructional program. Page seven mentions observance days. There you see the underlying part in the first paragraph. and then advisory 865 sex offender notification JLif page 10 you see the underlying part in the second paragraph that the key changes so that's for your information and then uh the more main advisory is 866 to 875 866 policy CA administration goals priority objectives 867 policy CB superintendent 868 policy CBA qualifications and duties of the superintendent. 869 policy CBCA delegated authority. New regulation CBC delegated authority. 870 policy CBI evaluation of the superintendent. CBIA evaluation of the superintendent. Exhibit CBIEB evaluation of superintendent policy 871 CCB and CCBR have been deleted. 872 policy CFD and CFDR. Schoolbased management deleted. CFDE and CFD both have been deleted. 873 policy CHD administration in the absence of policy 874 policy CK administrative consultants 875 CM school district annual report that concludes the first read Mr.
Croto. Thank you, Madam President. Um, we have no further presentation. This was to approve our revised expenditure budget which we did in the public hearing earlier this evening. So with that, we will turn it over to any questions. Just a reminder that this does need to be a roll call vote. I move to approve the 2425 revised expenditure budget. Yes. Second. Sorry, I'm jumping. And I'll remind again, it does need to be a verbal roll call vote. Okay. President. Yes. Yes. Motion carries. Okay. Next, we have uh discussion and action to set a date for the executive session for the superintendent's year end evaluation. Dr. Curtto, sorry. Thank you, Madam President. Um, tonight we're setting the date for an executive session. Um, I would suggest May 19th to fall in in line with the timelines on my year-end evaluation on my goals. Um, May 19th is the last one before we have a study session on June 2nd to set the district goals for the following year, which will inline um set my goals where you need to approve them in July.
If we get one, I'm putting your name on it. Can you get that done before I leave? Again, thanks to everyone and and everything. I will miss all of you. Thank you so much. [Applause] Um item seven, any reception of visitors, Julie? No sir. No. No sir. I didn't sign in. Would you like to say something to Yes. Yes, it is. I have regular rules. Since my This is very tall. Since since my name was mentioned, I think I should I should speak. I'll just take this off. I can walk around. But uh no, I really intended to speak anyway to say thank you to the retiring board members and also in advance to the new board members who are who are stepping forward. I know we thought we had some difficult periods of time when I was on the board, but I know you went through some really tough times and you survived it and you were grace.
So keep that in mind. Um but they were there to honor uh teachers and one of those teachers was my wife. Um, yeah, she's a total introvert, but she'd have to be to to deal with me. Um, but, uh, as I leave, um, I I am one of the things that I think gets overlooked and and and I don't I don't want to say by a lot of people because I think there's a lot of people who know, there's so many educators in this community and it really does make the community very strong. Educators coming from some from various places. And one of the people that was um um running running the event was actually an educator in my district. And so um it was funny. I I told them what I do in the district. They didn't know who I was. And then I said my name and they're like, "Oh, I know exactly who you are." And I was like, "Okay." Um but uh I'll this teacher appreciation week.
We wanted to we both kind of came to the understanding that we wanted to have more stakeholders at the table so that everybody has a say and that we can um form a committee so the next time we do the school improvement plan it comes from a group of people. And um also throughout the year we are we really want to send out surveys. We want to get feedback. We want to make sure that people have a say. Um, and this would be done by the, you know, the year-long calendar of professional learning. Um, we do put that out at the beginning of the year, but we really work hard to make that a working document. As things change, we change, right? And we want to make sure that our teachers have what they need if they need it in real time. So, that's all for teaching and learning.
I used to do it all the time or assistant principal even about you know you can't disclose what the discipline was but let me tell you about like what might typically happen in these situations and you know again every situation is different um but you know we have addressed it and usually you can develop a rapport with the parent where um there's a trust until they have a reason not to trust you and I think that's you know where a lot of our administrators rely on that because this isn't going to tell you anything. But what this does tell the parent and why it's important is it tells them that it's being addressed or it has been addressed except when you get that and it really doesn't. So it's not that Yeah. But it's not that silence like Yeah. Yeah. And I don't think there's ever that silence anything that that would be No, we you know I think our administrative team works really hard to No, but this assures that that is happening.
support. Any questions or any comments? Any highlights discuss Sure. Okay. Yeah. There's nothing further on that. Next up, we have a possible new agenda item for the next meeting. We've had this agenda item before, but I did not realize that there was concern the community about it. Maybe we should have another about this school district and maybe this mercy can give us a report next month on on a new what she felt like the situation at the school or maybe even the new dean of students is that was can come in and maybe give us of his vision of how he's going to tackle that problem. Yeah. I agree. I think it's a great idea. And then just a brief update because I am not I thought we were just doing fantastic on it, but maybe just a brief update on school security again with not a half hour presentation, but maybe just a a short little deal here.
So, with the timeline of all those in place, um I would ask that we set the executive session for next meeting, May 19th. Thank you. That date works for me.
You did it with grace and dignity and you made all of us proud and you came we came out ahead just as Terry said the district is is better for it. So I just wanted to honor all of you particularly Terry for her length of service and we were able to serve together for several years. We overlapped. Charerelle took my seat on the board. I was happy to have that happen. Ben, Jen, I didn't get to serve with you, but I know you've served with honor and dignity, and you've all worked so well together, and I know that will continue because that's so important for a board to really treat each other with respect. I know of a few other boards, which shall remain nameless, that aren't really really doing that as well. So, and I know it will continue with the new people, but you've really set a wonderful standard for dignity and respect and perspective.
I guess it's ironic that I'm leaving. And there's two that I certainly want to mention. And uh one is my mother. Yeah. Uh fifth grade teacher. Um uh for those that don't know um you you mentioned something about blended family earlier. My my mom took in um children that were not her own and this was in the late60s. Um I have half siblings. Um my half brother who uh passed away a couple of years ago. Um the last smile on his face was was from my mom. um not his biological mom, but my mom. And um that example was um like always something I knew uh to care about people that um my mom showed them just as much love as as uh she showed um her own kids. Uh in fact, she might have liked them better than us, but that's uh I don't blame her.
I'll turn it over to you. Thank you. I'm going to click that one. Oh, I should have done that. That's okay. Okay. So, focus area two are safe and supportive schools. Ensuring that all students feel a sense of belonging and a social emotional well-being in school through the use of culturally and intellectually affirming practices. So, as Mrs. Weiss uh stated, we've kind of gotten away from some of our committees that we really feel passionately about about and we want to reestablish. So, we would like to reestablish a a SIP leadership committee. Um, we had put that we would meet three times per year. That could change. It might be more. As Mrs. Mckenry said in her school improvement plan, we don't want the SIP to be something that we discuss tonight and then we kind of put it on a shelf and we don't talk about it until next May.
Yeah. You know, my my dad was a cop and he would always tell me Humpty Dumpty was pushed and you know it's like that that basic lack of faith in society and we have plenty of parents who um subscribe to that mentality. So, it's like, you know, I didn't see this child stoned on the town green. You didn't do anything. Um, and so you have to have conversations and even if you put that in writing, um, you know, I didn't see it or this kid was in school two days, you know, and this is, it's hard. And so I think a lot of our communication with the uh people who report these concerns is is very careful, nuanced, doesn't violate for a public, but tries to give a family the assurance. And again, like they usually just want it to stop. Sometimes they want the eye for the eye, but you know, they want it to stop and you can assure them.
this where we stand on school security and um and so um and I honestly haven't heard any concern in the community about either one of these but I would just like to and I really haven't I haven't heard any concern about it but you know if we could have agenda items up would that be possible yeah yeah one thing keeps in my mind and I may be wrong but seems to me years ago that we as a board changed in the public comments rather than having them give their address their connection to the district. Yeah, like I said it would have been it was before Dr. terrorism here. But um I realize it would take it would be a pain to go back through years of meetings to find that discussion. So I'm thinking maybe in June we have that discussion because address itself is not terribly useful.
Is there any discussion around this? Okay. I move to establish an executive session on May 19th for the superintendent's year-end evaluation. Second. Motion carries. Moving on to item seven. Dr. Curtto. Thank you, Madam President. This uh Thank you, Madam President.
