In addition to the core subjects and elective courses, there are opportunities for dual enrollment with the Hono AM community college. Next is um the page 13 recommendation uh that's highlighted. Uh at the moment all transfers involving exceptional education students must be approved by the exceptional student services director for placement at Indian Oasis High School and um Baboku High School. This is a piece that we would like reviewed here. So that it's uh stated that it's the least restrictive environment must be determined by the IEP subject to review if FAPE needs to stipulated uh in the IEP can be fulfilled with the resources available. Next is up for recommendation page 28 highlighted is E. Each student is expected to complete 100% of the requirement class in order to receive a grade and the credit for the class. students who complete a minimum of 60% of a class in order to for it to carry over into the following semester in any student who completes 59% or lower of the class will receive a failing grade and the class will not carry over into the next semester.
So, >> Oh, yeah. So then I did send the board today an email um a really well-written article um by Superintendent um Greg Wyman who's at J Kums who is also the president of the Arizona Rural Schools Association which we belong to really explaining and illuminating that auditor general's report that we saw last month about the high risk approaching high risk some kind of invented titles that never really have existed before but it's really It's comprehensive, but it's super clear and straightforward. So, I sent that out to you guys this afternoon. Um, and I think it'll provide kind of like a deeper background for you as well. So, >> thank you. >> Yeah. Any comments or questions? >> Thank you for all you guys do. Everybody's doing great. >> Fantastic. Moving on. Item 6C1 is our January 31st district expenditure report. Mr. Le, >> and I want to tell everybody this is will be in the mail boxes.
So, helping them see that I have this big goal. How do I break that down into smaller, more manageable pieces? Uh, and this is an attempt to do that. This is a habit tracker. Students pick whatever they want. And every day they're coloring in at the beginning of class, yes, I did this thing that I told myself was going to help me get closer to this big goal that I have. Um, am I doing it or not? And it's a nice conversation piece. Um, it also helps them build that confidence in themselves like, hey, one week ago I wasn't doing these things and now I've shown to myself I can I can commit. Um, and even if I miss one here and there, um, it's building that resilience as well. Like by the end of this, I think I'm going to figure out how am I going to fit in that 15 minute workout.
And >> uh our biggest goal as we sat down as administrative team and worked on our indicators and measures was to set goals like this where no kid fell through the cracks. Right? what North High did here last year or this year. Well, last year was great, right? 97 point almost 98%. This year 100% of students that earned an F were reached out to and then you'll go into the next one. >> Okay. >> So, can I just Oh, because that that is wonderful. What does that look like? Is it an email where we don't know what the response is? Is it a sitdown conference with the teacher and the student? I think it is important to know what that data means more than just the 100%. >> And it can look at look like both of those and then some right in some cases it may be an email in some cases it may be a conference in some cases it may be the teacher contacting and a counselor contacting it might be a student who has struggled in more than one class and so there may be multiple other interventions right that really we do that kind of wraparound approach to provide all kinds of services for students.
>> Yeah. Looking forward to the output. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I hope I can come by and and to check it out a little bit, but it's been a little work.
Boys tend to lead more active demonstration. And again, those are very broad strokes. Please know that I'm not saying every boy, every girl. But one thing that we know does help through the ed neuroscience lens that we take is that repetition in that neuroplasticity. We really want to make sure that we're giving realistic opportunities to build those pathways in the brain. So, while the girls may um may want to engage in more verbal dissection of the scenario, we make sure that there's a physical application as well. We ask them to get up and go through the motions. Don't just sit there at the table and talk. That's not building the right path. teachers, please. We do have four of our five >> late buses have already arrived. Bus 14, bus 22, bus 81, and 101. Those students are either already arrived just a moment ago or are arriving now.
Say I >> carries. Thank you. Okay, we've made it through new business. Uh, we have a couple future dates here. One that I was given to add. Tomorrow is the Deli FFA work auction. So, um, we'd like to see everyone there. There is a meal there. Um, it starts at 6:00. Uh, the auction starts at 6:45. And so, that is tomorrow, February 10th, in the DCHs conference. Don't miss that. >> Department'll take your money if you're not there. So give them a call. >> All right. >> So, okay. Other future dates, February 12th. That's actually coming up. Reverend Horner, we have an executive session at the corporation office at 6 p.m. March 3rd, we have an additional executive session at the corporation office at 6 p.m. as well. Uh we have a regular board meeting here in the Abby Living Memorial Library at 6:30 on March 9th.
So, we had pretty high participation and um we internally got a ton of positive feedback from teachers especially just thanking us for it was just helpful to know what to anticipate. So, >> great. Any other comments or questions from the board? >> I have one. Um we you know all board members get a magazine the journal and uh there was a article in there that caught my attention about AED. So, do we have those in our schools? Like, is it every school or just a couple? >> We do. >> Okay. Yeah. >> We do. >> How important it was. Yes. >> Hear the comments from the board. >> Any students here this evening from the center? >> Ellen back. >> You're good. Okay. [laughter] >> Back again. >> All right. Um, normally we have artwork and if you can see um, uh, you have some >> I thought I apologize the note must have gotten Perry Heights, but it just outside in the >> Oh, it's outside.
>> Any questions? Curriculum questions. Thank you both. Michelle, you're up. >> Well, just a couple things, but since you brought up the the snow days and the cold weather days, you know, the the concern was we had a Friday and then we had three days. And the concern for me always is um that's a long time for our kids to be out of school and a lot of our kids rely on us for food and relationships at school and that's always my biggest worry, right? Um but unfortunately, I don't control mother nature. Um, I will say though, I am so thankful that we learned what we learned during COVID to be able to do e-learning um, the way we do. It's it is by no means a replacement for what happens at school. But it is much better than tacking days on in June. I will tell you that much because nothing really happens in June when we're when we would do that.
So, at the same time, we've been intentional about listening. We kind of heard that tonight. Over the past year, we've gathered input from families, from faculty, from staff. We've done that both formally and informally. We've um included we've gone out to meetings. Uh for instance, when when I go out as a parent, I I as a a superintendent, I go to some of the PTO meetings and I do talk to parents about the budget. Uh, I've had an opportunity to do that and I'll visit every school's PTO at least once this year to have those conversations. We, uh, we administer surveys and we do have ongoing conversations in our schools. This budget reflects those voices and responds directly to what our community has asked of us, particularly in the areas of student support, staffing, and services that address increasingly complex student needs. So this proposal does include investments, important investments that support our strategic priorities, but I believe it also reflects restraint.
This 34 is based on a deep look, >> right? But yeah, the people hear, >> you know, the the Rena. >> Yeah. They're going to hear what they want to hear and they're not going to hear they're going to hear zero because a lot of them don't come out. We we made it very we made it very clear at the meetings last year that 25 million was a a just a rough estimate because our direction was going towards a new building. That was all the feedback we were getting. It didn't make sense to do a renovation. So if you remember about 13 14 months ago before you guys passed the resolution last February to go to a bond issue remember we had construction company come in a couple of people and they explained to us you're looking about 25 million this is our best guess without doing a deep dive 25 million was a rough or very rough estimate >> that of doing maybe if you want to keep if y'all want to keep the numbers in saying renovation current elementary facility, >> you know, 2020 estimate >> 34 million and then like, you know, so it's >> would it be easier to stomach if we put a range?
Yeah. Thanks, K. Yeah. But I do think our big kids could help out in the event of a drill or our big kids with the daycare. They could grab a window. >> We were talking about storm shelters down here. >> Yeah. It' be a ways to get there. >> Bigger kids are going to be in the new building so they can walk right back. >> Follow them. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Okay. We will head back down to the library. Thank you, Miss 13,000. I don't want to be >> my engine. You guys take your own time. >> Not the first one, but the second one went second. >> Okay, Mr. Scott, I'll let you do your thing. Okay. So, Mr. President, I move that the board go into executive session pursuit to the Kansas opening act to discuss non-elected personnel for topics of reserations administration supplements and classified staff the privacy individuals to be discussed with Mr.
That is the present um policy at the moment. It is recommended that we do away with carryovers and the recommendation is that each student is expected to complete no less than 80% of the commulative test to receive a grade and the credit for the class. The expectation is to complete each course assigned. Failures to complete a course will result in retaking it. And um we want to com do away with carryovers and that's why it's stated remove carryovers from the information piece and the other piece was the matrix. um Indian Oasis on page 54, Indian Oasis is high school campus behavior matrix 10 to 12. And in the summer, we're hoping to review it some more and um to make sure that the pieces to what we want um with this with these policies are aligned to our target and our vision and our mission to our school.
Oh, >> do you guys have it? Do you have the advanced copy? It's going out in the mail boxes this week. >> Oh, nice. >> All right, Mr. Thank you. >> Very good. Very good. Members of the board, Superintendent Daniels, Superintendent, staff, ladies and gentlemen. Here we go. A quick look at the month ended January 31st of 2026. were seven months out of our 12-month calendar with uh expenses, with activities, with energy expended, everything you can think of. We're 71 12ths of the way there at this point in the year. Uh a quick review of my six page report here. Going to mention a few different funds. Later in the agenda, uh in the meeting, we will look at revising our budget for the second time. those of you that were able to make it. July 31st, uh those things Superintendent Daniels was referring to where districts are contracting with student counts and and different things.
Sounds really easy. It's only 15 minutes, but are we hitting it every day? No. uh but confident that by the end we'll be able to figure that out. So really modeling that as a teacher um for the students as well. >> So in conclusion, thank you for inviting us as we continue to level up in our practices and just seeing how our students have grown throughout this year and becoming more effective and better learners in chemistry and through all their classes and in life. That's really our goal. So again, we're grateful to have had this opportunity to get together as a team. Thanks for having us. Thank you. >> You understand what's going on, right? >> Steve always >> Thank you. This was uh really really well done. I'd really like a lot of the kind of innovative things you guys are doing to help kids think about your practices.
It varies. >> Could be office hours, could be student support with the path. >> Could be Strive, which is our one of our after school tutoring tool. >> I think because I think that's important to let people know more than to say, "Hey, my the teacher reached out one time >> because we could be that, right?" But professionals are determining what is the appropriate amount of outreach. Right. >> Right. But I think it's important too though to to share what is being done. That probably is way more than just >> It's Yeah, it's way more than just a phone call, an email. >> And often times, even with that communication, whether it's an email, a telephone call, whether it's a conference, it's not necessarily just to say your student is earning a failing grade, but >> to set up a plan. >> What can we do?
Um, any questions or >> No, just [clears throat] thank you. We're looking forward to hearing how it goes and getting some uh feedback. Um, so thank you guys for all the hard work and organizing. Appreciate it. >> I think I can be there for March 3rd, so I'll definitely check it out. >> Great. >> No. Okay. just look forward to hearing. >> Um, unless there's anything else, we'll move to uh 82, the board committee reports. It looks like it was just with us. >> Um, we held the equity and learning innovation um committee meeting. Uh, just a quick synopsis. There's notes in our or report in our board um agenda, but um we saw the same presentation about summer school and was able to ask some questions about that and then we had an update on um all our actions around equity and cultural responsiveness uh presentation on that.
Please allow those students into class without a pass. We're still waiting on bus 311. >> Sorry, it's hard to hear and talk at the same time. Um, so we want to try to give them as many authentic learning opportunities as as we can to help. I do absolutely hear your concern though. But um I want to try to give some reassurance that we are trying to incorporate those best practices into our work and we do know um every student has a different need. It's going to manifest differently. Not all girls, not all boys. Um not all multilingual learners, not all sped, right? There's all those different pieces. So these are just very broad strokes. If there's more information that you'd like, I'd be happy to provide it. But I want you to know I do hear that concern and I want and hopefully you know we are working every day to try to improve that across the board.
Uh one other date here, March 10th is the this I believe that is at the offer house at 6:30 p.m. Uh this is always a uh a nice event. Uh never quit hearing comments about this. Give people go and it's always good. So any other dates that we have missed? [laughter] >> Well, those are important too. Keep your eye out for the blood drive. >> Boys basketball sectionals first week. [laughter] >> All right. Uh, okay. Moving forward. Board comments. Uh, Mr. >> Uh, again, thanks to all the staff that was recognized tonight, the students. It's always great that parents um again, thanks to our office staff. You guys go a long ways in getting this prepped and ready. And thank you very much, Dr. Lord. a lot of work into your strategic plan. I know it's important plan, but it's very simple and shows that you care.
Okay. Well, I can't comment on it because I can't see it. But anyway, >> Stop on your way out. That's right. Okay. Um, appreciate all that hard work and we don't want it to be just >> Thank you for pointing that out. Um, is there any other business to come before the board this evening? Need a motion to adjurnn. So move second. >> This means a journ.
