And we aren't um moving away from that student centered support. Um we are evolving it and uh by transitioning to a robust MTSS framework we will use our consistent data and teacher collaboration in our PLC's uh to identify students who need additional academic, social and emotional assistance. Um this collaboration will continue to include uh bringing additional support such as our dean of students, our counselors, um admin to the table uh to collaborate with our teachers when we uh recognize specific kids who need this support. Um that's very important to us. And so you'll see uh listed, you know, this schedule proposes an extended what I need time. And currently uh what I need or kind of a home room, traditionally called a home room, but what I need is focus time for interventions. Um however, we find that time right there at the beginning of the day.

All right, we're up to Mr. Zupco with operations. Oh boy. Okay, operations was probably one of the shortest meetings but one of the most uh consequential meetings that we've had.

it's 30 minutes, but it's also interrupted from uh video announcements in the morning. It's also interrupted from attendance taking um etc. So um this proposed schedule allows better flexibility to flexibly group our kids in some of those tier two strategies uh to help them with their academics. Um we have acted as uh we have conducted ourselves as as subject area PLC's uh in Senator O um for since since we started PLC's and that's a very good approach. It's what most schools and corporations do. Um but at the same time um we can expand upon our PLC practice using that job embedded Tuesday and Thursday morning time uh to do our um multi-disciplinary or multi-ubject PLC's during that time um to take care of some of this MTSS work as well. So one of the pillars I talked about at the beginning was the reduction of class sizes.

So we were expecting it to be about the same and it came in higher. >> Exactly. >> Okay. So this is our school choice out money, not our school choice in, >> right? Okay. Is there a school choice in >> Well, that's the that's the offset from the revenue that we get in. So, >> Oh, no. Because it's sending tuition is down below. >> School choice sending tuition is 154. >> Yeah. But you're offsetting the school choice revenue because that's a direct offset. >> So, the reason we've got a large increase, a large driver is that is the difference between the state aid and the state charges that we get. So even if state aid comes in higher, if some of the charges come in higher, it's not as good over over and above what we had predicted. >> So I'm just trying to see where those have changed, right?

We need to make sure that our purchasing was in line with with those policies and we instituted some controls that are now in place. So, you know, um as they as they continue to go through the audits, we're still, you know, catching up to the to the to the ways of the of the old um and seeing that, you know, coming surface. But um moving forward, I think we've got a pretty tight process in place right now. So the purchasing, the procurement has really tightened up. It was a huge shift for us in the way we we did business. And it wasn't that anybody was doing anything nefarious. It's just that to have stricter and tighter controls on things um in line with our policy that are also in line with general accounting practices, those three things needed to come into tighter alignment. And so I think that we've we've done that.

Uh, just one note that I would add on the um the shift in the budget schedule and the resulting change in our meeting dates. That's driven primarily by the governor deciding that she's going to release her preliminary budget a little bit later. So, just recognize that this entire process is really outside of the control of, you know, the people that are working here in the district. we're really reacting to what's happening at the state level and to some extent we just need to be flexible.

Um, currently, you know, we have some some large middle school class sizes and moving the team time for teachers outside of the school day will allow additional class sections. So, how does that work? So, for example, at middle school central, we have around 36 core teachers, teachers that teach math, language arts, social studies, or science. Right now, on their schedule, they have a prep, which every teacher in the district does of um say 45 minute roughly prep. Then those same core teachers have a team planning time each day of an additional 45 minutes where they get together talk about uh you know students um and you'll see here in a little bit some of the other things that they do talk about during that time. Um, also though within the same building, I alluded to this earlier, we have UA teachers, whether it be band, orchestra, choir, PE, art, um, STEM, project, lead the way courses that they have the one prep just as an elementary teacher would or as a secondary high school teacher would.
