We don't have a newcomer SEI model program in our district right now. So this shows you visually where students are receiving which type of instruction throughout the day. And then con. So we the question was around how many teachers before and then this one is how many students are receiving instruction from each model. So you can see that the majority of our students in our school district. This year we're receiving instruction through the pullout model which is two hours of English language instruction with one hour being targeted and one inte one hour integrated. um and the DLI model with the lowest number of courses at two of our schools. Um how is it determined? Is it on a school by school basis to determine which models they're using or Yes. And so is there any requirement as to a minimum number of models that they're using?
So that's on that. We was part of the art saves u event uh at Ashland High School uh on May 15th. Uh myself and two members of uh our team from from the shade services was there was a successful event.
So let me just piggy back on what Mr. said. So that means right now we'll have 18 kindergartens in a classroom for six sections. If we get three or four more kindergartens, I will have to meet with our more students that will have to meet with our team to discuss what the best options would be. The other piece to this is that we do have out of that 110, we may have four students that are not going to attend the Cherry Brook Primary School. They're still thinking and some may be moving within the 110. Correct. So, this is something that Mr. Amry staff once a week they're updating the the central office regarding that kindergarten. If we stay at six sections, what it also is allowing us to do is the preschool will be returning to Cherburg Primary School because it it gives us one extra room.
Because I noticed there's more than one on a few of these, but then some of them they're only using one, right? So, uh, it there's the short answer is no. There was not a minimum. So, to to clarify, it just depends on staffing and the master course schedule. So, like some schools, we might be able to be able to do the two-hour model in like K3, but in 48, we were only able to do one pull out because there not enough teachers. Um so when the students are in regular ELA class and say for instance that class has 40 students and 20 of them are um emerging multilingual so 20 are here and the other 20 have to go over here with another teacher for two hours or one hour depending on how much time we have um or how much time we have with that teacher right and so sometimes it doesn't work like with this teacher's left with 40 kids and this teacher has five you know so it just depends on master course scheduling so we're this year we're recomd recommending that we know with research that the 2-hour model is more effective.
Uh other than that uh u we might have another blood donation drive uh that uh in past two years we have done four blood donation drives you know that u board of health was part of it though we played a very minor part just with with the organizing of it uh but and then we are planning the fifth blood donation drive in August so we'll be working with that cross on that you know and I'm I'm open for any any questions please question so John Hancock drive Is that a new case or did you mention that in our last meeting? I No, this this was a new case, you know. So, um there was violations that we we we sent it to the owner to correct. Uh uh from the owner side, I got confirmation that the all the violations. I guess there were six seven of the violations total that they've been corrected, you know.
So, it would make sense to have our preschool together over at Cherburg Primary School. continuing the tightness of our building. Some people may ask, well, how's that happening? When the study was done, when the the NESD team came in, the the numbers that we were predicting were higher, but as we've always have said, the school is tight with the numbers that we currently have relative to tutoring in in different um services that are offered in in the hallway to small classrooms. So throughout the summer, we'll continue to provide the the board an update on where we are with kindergarten. I don't think we had anything more to add about that. I'm not sure. Yes, Jordan. Historically from end of school year over the summer to the start of the school year, how much kindergarten enrollment? We could we could shift from three to four more students that come in.
So, we're trying to make that work whenever we can in the master course scheduling and the the number of staff needed or the staff intensiveness of the model depends on the number of students that would be involved in Yes. and also the so it's the number of students and also the ratio of students who need the English language instruction versus mainstream instruction. And so when I I do want to point out I just noticed those Macken numbers need to be moved over. So it says that there are 121 students at Macken receiving the DI model. That is incorrect. I apologize. Um those need to be moved. Yes, that is not true. Um, I will fix it and I will send you I will well through Dr. Pombo I will send you the updated um numbers. And so when we look at like staffing for example, if we have two second grade teachers and we have 60 students and 30 are multilingual learners and 30 are non-English learners, then that's a very easy split, right?
So, going just going out to do a inspection to verify that. Mhm. But yes, it's a new case, you know. It's not. It was not on I guess last last time. The um the Simantina Magica Daycare, you said that she said she thinks she has some kind of exemption. Does she specify what she thinks her exemption is, right? So, so it it might be like the understanding, you know, and this is a kind of a gray area, right? uh with daycarees from day one, you know. So the state give them uh u a permit to operate, right? But the food component is with the local board of health. So the state don't look into the food component and it's written in the document, right? Uh uh or the guidance that uh the state uh local health department regulate the food component, you know. So but it's kind of a gray area, right?
But the difference that we've done this year is Mr. Every staff has worked really hard reaching out to parents but being very proactive. So very proactive. So the only way that I could see that really happening is if we have somebody moves and they happen to come with kindergarten children and that can happen, right? So we'll have to see. Okay. But historically we only have about three or four that enroll over the summer usually or less. All right. And we are prepared. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Ray, because we've discussed this. We are prepared for the kindergarten to go into six sections or seven sections that if we have seven students come in or eight students come in, we make a decision to go into seven sections rather than add a para into each room, Mr. Henry staff has already put together seven sections.
And so we can easily do the two-hour model where for two hours of the day, all of the students who are learning English in the SEI model will go to one teacher and all of the other students will go to the other teacher. What gets tricky is when you have where those numbers are significantly different. So if you have five English learners and 55 mainstream students, we that that's where you would need a third person sometimes to be able to pull. So generally speaking, it would be fair to say then that in um schools that have lower ELLL student populations, that's where the difficulty lies typically. Yes. Typically. And sometimes it's not just the school, it's by grade level. Correct. You you could have a school like I mean this is going to sound really weird. We may see more of this specifically by grade level as we get better and better at reclassifying kids cuz what happens is when you get up to seventh grade if we reclassified all but four students, right?
I mean lot of daycarees we have sometimes they don't serve food right or they bring in food from outside or the kids bring in food and then there we play very minor role right I mean we have no role if the kids are bringing their own food we we are supposed to regulate only if they're cooking on site and we just want to make sure you know that u it's not like a full plan review for for like we do for a food establishment but then we we have to grant them a permit you know so That's the gray area and might be a language barrier too right I have uh tried explaining to her right like hey uh last time she was here last week right she she mentioned that she have a certification from the state right that that she she can operate you know she can serve 10 kids food and I asked her please send me that communication that you have from from the state but she she didn't so uh it's my understanding of how I read the state regulations that um when you prepare food on site, it need to be regulated by by local board of health.
So you're so three or four we would still stay at six, but that's seven to eight we would move to. It all depends. It all depends. I'd really have to we would really have to sit down with this very I don't know what the magic number is. I know that um the the kindergarten teachers I think would prefer to have an extra hand in that room as I've shared with the board before and have parents. So we really got to analyze that. But I will definitely keep the the board of ed. We have to make sure that the transition for I know preschools our youngest learners but the more kindergarten is we have to make sure that it's a smooth transition for our our kindergartens and we got to make sure that it's comfortable for them. 18 is the cap. So we have in our guidelines that we have I think it's 16 to 18.
You've kind of created your own problem, but you've created your own problem in a good way because you know when that same cohort of kids was in first grade, it might have been 32 kids that were you know are emerging uh multilingual students. And it's just that we've reclassified 27. Right. Gotcha. I'll give an example that we were working on this week. So Kennedy is a smaller school. So they have one teacher per grade level. So if you have one teacher with like 35 students or let's say 30 students or whatever it is, there's not another teacher for them to pull. So then we have to be creative with how to do that. So it also happens with smaller schools like not having the staff. So what Sarah Beth um works on too is writing a grant to get an SEI teacher, but we usually don't find that out until July July.
And at this point, it's just more you know, we're working with them, but I I want the board to be aware uh because this is the second one we after, you know, kindergare we picked up, you know, um and I don't know, maybe it's a conversation we might want to have with EEC, that's the regulatory body, you know, for the daycare, right? That hey, what's happening or what's what's uh moving forward? It seems like if it's happened twice now, maybe there is kind of miscommunication, right? Or there might be more too, you know? So like but these are these are two that come to our attention that that are operating in in Ashland or where they are preparing meals and serving it to the kids. I can see how it would be a gray area because if I am my kid is bringing their lunch and let's say that needed to be heated up or that's being stored in the refrigerator and then that's coming out like I how do you determine whether or not that's actually serving food?
Correct. Right. 18 is the max. Good. Yeah, I'm done. Thank you. Okay. Um, you know, and I'll speak a little bit more about the technology strategic plan a little bit later. I I just saw Juliana's walk in. So, well, little late, but that's okay. So, sorry. Yeah, it's all right. So, we can't even stop. Yeah, we we we honored them for a great couple years of of being on the board and and maybe you want to show them this, Richard? Show me your mom. And so this was our little gift to them. That's perfect. And they they actually did a wonderful job in conjunction with Dr. Tidwell, Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Bishop. We kind of reshaped the whole U student representative and and they they went right at it and did a great job. They got involved with the schools that they were reporting on and came back and kept the board of education really up to date.
So like a school like that, we say, "Okay, let's put the SEI teacher there because then they can pull from all the grade levels." Um but it's just every school has a different problem. So that's that's we're just pro trying to figure it out on a puzzle of the best way to meet the needs of the students. Gotcha. Yes. And I do also want to highlight that the models can be selected and determined by student, not necessarily just by grade level or school. So for example, when you look at Builtmore, this year was their final year that they had the traditional model with students who are not participating in the dual language immersion program. And so from that class of eighth graders, two of those students were also multilingual learners. And so since they were not part of the DLI model, we had to create a pull out model for those students.
So Dr. J, right then it won't be us, right? I mean then it's it's more very clearly written like if they're preparing meals on site then it's lo local board of health. Yeah. I'm just wondering what the definition of preparing the meal on on site is if they you know you can imagine you're making hot chocolate for kids. Is that considered uh you know under the board of health to to my understanding? Yes. You know any food you are handling at at at the daycare level right? Like I mean not not that heating the food right but if you're preparing something right for me milk will be food you know and then accordingly but like and this is I don't know how this state do right I mean they should if if they want us to regulate before giving them their permit to operate right they should check with us or make sure right that local body is is you know look looking into it or they have reach out to the local body right that's local board of health right for that they have received proper Right.
So, I think they're going to do great in college because they're great reporters and uh we're going to miss them. So, but thank you. Thank you for coming. I don't think that's Yeah, that's right. So, you will hear their final report. That's right. The student the student representative report is up. Neil, go ahead. You got it. Lucas is not here tonight. He's at round two of baseball. Correct. So everyone break baseball team thanks all that. Um so we don't have this report on the middle of high school. Um but I'll be reporting on CIS. So the Institute for American Indian Studies visited CIS to provide their annual program to fifth grade social scientists as part of their Native American unit. And as part of their wellness day, a group of CMS students came to CIS to run some activities with preschool students. CAS had an incredibly successful wonder event on Monday afternoon with 89 students presenting over 75 projects.
And um another thing we've been I've been working closely with the exceptional student services department um because there are some cases where a student who is receiving special education services, the way the schedules work might end up on a different SEI model than the rest of the kids in their grade level. Gotcha. Thank you for always understanding all that. No, that's a good question because we it's we've been trying to figure it out with every especially this time of the year because we are knee deep in figuring this out with every campus. Any other questions on this slide? I'm very embarrassed about those numbers. I will fix that. Oh gosh. You didn't tell us we wouldn't know. I heard whispering back there. Yeah, it is. it um it's an automated I I've put in formulas into spreadsheets. Each school has a different tab and then it's all calculated on one tab.
Got it. Anybody else? All right. So, the next thing on our agenda is the consent agenda. Um, I need a motion to review and approve the fiscal year 2025 year-to- date budget reports and approve the meeting minutes from May 6th. read all that again. I can I can hear you if you want. Go ahead. Um I make a motion to approve the consent agenda as stated. Second.
