So when they gave the demonstration, they're like, "Okay, what do we do?" She's like, "Okay, you just do like these two steps." And like, "Okay, now then now what else?" And they're like, "No, that's it." Like, "Really?" And they're like, "Yeah." Like so easy. Um, so so it was an enthusiastic It was It was like, "That's it?" and they're like, "Yeah, and if you don't sign up the night before and you can still sign up that morning still very easily." Whereas with this older system or the one we're currently, it's like it's a big process to get signed up that morning when you forgot to sign up. So, but they were very enthusiastic like that's it. So yeah, after institute days, we pay a lot of clean up with our current system and have to put people in manually. Any other questions?

This now I ready diagnostic truly can only be used three times a year. The personalized platform will be that progress monitoring in between but looks different than the diagnostic. How long how long is this exam? Yeah, that's a great question and I have um research to back up what I'm about to say because I asked this exact question. So, it is um I believe they said for the younger ones in K2 because it can be broken up over a course of a couple days, not taken in one sitting, which is what they recommend. So, in K2, they're looking at um let's say the math test would be like two 20 minute sessions, so over two days. And then for our 38 group um we can split it over two or three days and it could be like a 20 minutes or it can be like a 15 15.

One of the things when the policy committee met that we talked about with this was that adding those five uh items in there makes it a bit more restrictive and there are situations that come up that we can't think of always ahead of time that might not fit these and then we would not necessarily be able to pay for something prior to board approval. I mean immediately I think of things like my uh federal grants that we have to spend the money prior to June 30th and sometimes we can't get those invoices depending on when the board meeting falls in June. We would not be able to get them processed and checks out in time and that creates an enormous issue in terms of our grants that we then can't pay the invoices and have to wait until carryover money comes through which doesn't happen until November and that would make our vendors extremely mad.

Does this just go? We can just vote on it on Monday and Okay. Everyone will decide and it'll go where it goes. Yeah. Put in action. I think we don't have a consensus yet pretty clearly. Okay. All right. Next up, we have D26 policy manual review section three. Mrs. Potter had um sent over and we shared those notes um with the board in the packet. Um the first was 340E exhibit checklist for the superintendent employment contract negotiation process. Mrs. Potter, did you want to explain your notes there? Um I just all I've brought forward for section 3 is 340E the exhibit checklist and 350 administrative personnel other than superintendent. I think we just talked about the checklist. I don't know if I I don't really feel like going through all of these cuz I've shared like with this these with the board and stuff already.

Two strikes. Two outs. Strike three. And that'll be the game, folks. Hopington ends up winning this game 15-5. Um the end of seven innings. Bash had some great innings there. Had some great fielding plays, had some really good at bats, just went down to a really tough Hopkins team. Hopkins team just uh is playing phenomenally this year. I think they only have one or two losses. And as we said before, Ashlin is is struggling a little bit. They have a younger team, mostly seventh graders, lost um a lot of the eighth graders up to the high school freshman team, but they're hanging in tough. Had, you know, getting some good hits, getting some good innings, getting some good experience. So, so with that, if you guys want to tune in tomorrow at 6:30 again, girls lacrosse, the girls lacrosse team is killing it this year.

Thanks for So how far is this just um the most recent year or how far back have you gone so that you can make a comparison? So go back to that slide. There you go. So this is the data over the last five years. So this is five five cycles. Um so back to 2020. Um Perkins changed in 2020 uh the way that they're reporting. Um we can within our portal go back um to 2018. we have that data that's in the desi portal. It doesn't quite report the same way. Um, so we have these five five cycles that are are are pretty consistent comparisons, but it's based on how many people students.

Uh the federal grant fund thought we would take this opportunity to share with you the all of these ESA title grants. You can see that the title one, title two and title four all are represented in what we call a consolidated uh title grant. Title one and title four are directly related to supports for at risk students and title two is primarily used for professional development opportunities for our teachers. You can see that ES EA title 3 is outside of this consolidated grant. So that application is separately presented um at the department of ed. Another note, the A.E.A. adult education fund. Um you can see that we have uh the budget revision was the same between revision number two and revision number three. What was unusual is late in the year we did receive another allocation of about $180,000. And then they are also allowing us to carry over any unspent money which is also very unusual for adult ed.

So again looking at 40 minutes is it 40 minutes math correct 40 minutes reading. Correct. One assessment would be 40 minutes. There is research that demonstrates that shorter does not make it better. So what we've had currently with STAR is short, but we did not receive the results that we needed to accurately assess and understand where our students performance was at. You need an assessment that is longer that has the longer passages in order to get a more accurate read on where the students are actually performing. It's a diagnostic. It's like when you go to the doctor, you can get something very quick and easy or you go through the process of that longer lengthy diagnostic in order to get a deeper read. The benefit is they do not have to do this all in one sitting which we will create parameters around that. We don't want them to do it one sitting but they have to do it three times a year.

Um, so I just um I have concerns about this because of the way that some of our funding works is just not as clear. Some routine bills and things like that are not a big deal, but things like that are a little bit um more difficult. And the problem is we don't always know what those are going to be. So that my my concern about adding this language back in would be about that making these exceptions relatively more restrictive um I think could be potentially problematic. I appreciate that because I don't know what how it's getting implemented. Um I suppose that where I'm coming from it does I don't we don't have to have all the language. I just want to make sure I guess in suggesting or asking the board to consider this would be that um when um that authorization comes without, you know, without being able to get that board approval that the board just be made aware of that.

Um uh so ultimately it's do we want this checklist? It's not I think it could be helpful uh if we are talking about ever the superintendent's employment contract. Um, especially just because we don't do that kind of stuff every day. And again, I don't plan on being here 20 years from now either and offering all of my expertise uh in that area. Um, and then the 350, the administrative personnel. Um, you can see my notes on that and you've probably heard them too. I don't know how we want to. So, we just put that to a vote next week. Yeah, we'll put that to a vote next week. I think so. don't you? Y and I think we could do the same for section four. There's one, two, three, four, five, six of them in section four. Yeah, there was one though um that was just I think just really um something that needed to be fixed.

Oh, it's always 65% of the graduates. How how much? 65% each year is what we're trying to to connect with in the way that I described. Susan, do you want to No, I think you did a wonderful job explaining it and and I think it's also that's exactly the issue that um Lauren's even bringing me into it because grants and everything that has to do with programming um is integrated so that I'm working on the grant side of it of writing the grants and managing the grants which is Perkins um but there's reporting to be done and of course program implementation. And so we work together on these things. So you know what percentage we obtained this year in reporting did we just over 65% just Mr. Jones had my questions Mr. No, I just want to comment on uh in these 14 15 years I've been in this row.

Dubin, if you wouldn't mind leading us in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance 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. I know. Oh, okay. The Kraton school district understands that our community of schools is located on the ancestral land of the Odum Jud and Akamal Odum Petul who descended from the Hokam and have inhabited these lands since time and memorial. The Aodum, whose names translate literally to people, are a vibrant culture and community spanning countless generations into the past, continuing to arrive into the present and carrying a powerful legacy for generations into the future. With this acknowledgement, the Kraton School District formally recognizes the traditional care and keeping of these lands by indigenous people is an aspirational model of community stewardship that we're committed to honor with practices, policy, and human relations.

So, our adult education uh teams are do very very well and we just had graduation last last week I think on Friday. Um and so they'll be very happy to have that extra resource for next year. Miss Bats. Yes. What uh Title One and Title 4 um you said that those funds go towards atrisisk students. Can you explain a little bit um how those funds go to atrisisk students? So generally speaking uh we do have I in fact maybe you can help me out Jared but I do believe that we have 11 uh schools throughout Gilbert public schools that are title one schools. Is that correct? Uh Mr. President, governing board. So the number continues um to grow. We have some full title schools and some partial title schools. Um the funds are distributed based on student numbers and qualification status. Um funds from each of these categories would go toward um special education pro or um free and reduced lunch populations um support staff members um specific reading specialists, math specialists, positions to support um students academically who uh may need uh remediation at a different level.
