So, we'll come outside, we'll say, "Hey, make sure they're not late to their next class." Um, and yeah, it's really pretty much it. Um, it's really nice. I feel like me and Brian, we have different personalities, but we we go together well. And Nicole Wallace, she's amazing with her her path program. She's super organized. She helps us. And kudos to the Deans in Security. I mean, I don't think we would be able to thrive without them because they'll be like, "You're calling us again?" I'm like, "Yeah, come on." And so it's it's really nice and yeah that's what we do. >> Great. >> Wow.
Any questions? >> I I like to say I know ISI can be very very challenging >> and to do what you do on a daily basis is not easy. So you are definitely to be commended for what you do. But you the two of you are a power couple. You have a powerful presence. And you know it it's conveyed to the students. And for many of these stu we all make mistakes. >> And the beautiful thing about our schools is we're here to pick you up, to support you, to get you back on track. And I can see that every student that comes into ISI with the two of you will truly have that opportunity. So they'll see >> they'll see us in the hall and be like, "Hey, Miss Winter. Hey, Mr. Flood." I'm like, "Hey." It's okay. They're not they're not in our rooms, which is it's nice, right?
So for them to acknowledge us outside the space, I think that's pretty powerful. >> One thing I didn't share, which I don't think you said either, is that they're both in their first year in the district. >> Like first year, both there's two ISI supervisors. They were both vacant this summer. So, we hired >> and we were pretty intentional about hiring the two of them together >> in our school and we're just super proud of the work they've done and only one year really highlight that >> and it's also just so nice to work under your former principal. I mean like when I saw her I was like hey >> but yeah so thank you. >> I'm just cur how many people how many kids do you have to have to tend to? I'm just curious. >> I'm sure it varies, right? But I'm just curious.
Yeah. >> Last week, Thursday, we had eight. So, we do we do lunch detentions, period detentions, and all day detentions. So, I think last week on like Friday, Thursday, we had eight kids all day. Today, it was four. And then we had students that come in and out for a lunch detention. Okay. >> So, yeah. >> Yeah. There there's been a few days where we've had to had to tell uh the deans like, "Stop sending people. Yeah. >> Yeah. I was going to ask, could do you do you feel adequately supported? Yeah. To make sure you Great. You can you can app Yeah. Okay. Okay. >> Absolutely. So, you know, just like any job, you know, some days it's it's uh really busy and some days, you know, you get the kid that's just there, realizes what they've done, and they'll just hunker down and and then uh some days it could be an all day debate.
Yeah, try that. We try to treat everybody with the respect because we understand, you know, they want the respect and they want to be treated as individuals. So, if you come to them respectfully and kind of like talk them through it, a lot of times they're, you know, they're receptive receptive to that. >> I appreciate your your guidance and your mentorship. So, thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Yeah, he's awesome. Okay. Okay. This is >> all right. So, thank you to all of our staff that presented this evening. I think it gives the >> board a good cross-section of what's going on with our staff throughout the building. >> I'm going to turn now to Yep. >> Uh turn now to our staffing process for the next uh year. Uh next board meeting is the meeting where we have all of our presentations.
Jeff is going to preview that for you in a second. I just want to give an overview of some of the fluctuations that happen yeartoyear that will impact that conversation uh that we will have uh next month or next meeting this later this month. So, uh just some trends that you should be aware of as a board. Uh we have decreasing enrollment at South High this year. Um so dropping numbers reduces the number of sections we run and can cut into uh the number of teachers that we need. Uh we also have a decrease in English learners across the district. Um typically we have a large number of newcomers that come in over the course of the year and uh we haven't seen those students arrive yet uh this school year. Um so that's impacting us. Uh, also we have more English learners next year attending TCD, so technology center of DUP page and in work-based learning programs.
So, uh, you heard about that today that that's a spot where typically we don't see equity and you can see an increase in that which is a great uh, indicator that we are trying to close some of those equity gaps. But that also increases the number of courses that students are taking during the day because those programs will eat up multiple periods or use up multiple periods throughout the day. So that impacts the number of uh sections that they're in otherwise. Um so all of that together combines to a decreased need for the next year in our English learning staff. But that it could be a temporary uh situation, right? Because next year our EL students might not choose to take work-based learning courses or TCD courses or we could have uh political things change that could cause more newcomers uh to arrive or EL students that might not feel safe coming to school decide to come to school.
So, we've we are really making sure that our staffing that we've been working on uh protects our EL staff so that we have them still involved in maybe other subject areas that they can work in. Um because it's it's a lot easier to find like a an English teacher, math teacher teacher than it is to find an EL teacher, right? So, we don't want to release that staff and then find that in a few months we need them. So, there's been a lot of collaborating with our building administration uh to try to make sure that um through this plan that any of our full-time staff that we aren't uh eliminating through these changes. Uh you'll also see uh Scott and Lisa and the team at T99 uh have a large growth in the number of students, but this is a costneutral change. Uh they're working on doing two things.
one, we have students that uh might be in an outplaced uh situation at a different school. It's an appropriate placement for them. But now, as they're moving into adulthood and staying with us in our programming, it makes sense to bring them back to the T99 setting for their their 18 to 22 years of age window of time. So, we have a number of students coming back uh to us for that part of their uh learning journey. And then uh we have also extended our program because we do have room because of our construction and and increased space at T99 uh to allow an increased number of outside tuition paying uh students to come to us. So other school districts paying tuition to have their students enrolled with us at T99. So that has increased the number of students at T99 next year, uh increasing the amount of need for teaching staff, but because we're either not paying for students to be outplaced or receiving funds for students that are coming to us, we're able to add that 4.4 uh in teaching staff at no additional cost to the district.
So, um, overall we have a net decrease in 2.0 FT in cost because of mostly part-time teachers that aren't coming back or reduced further in part-time or retirees that are leaving that we don't need to replace because of declining enrollment, but a total increase in staff overall of 2.4. So, we're up staff, down cost. Uh, which is an interesting situation to be in. I've never never had that before. Um, but it's a good position, uh, to be in. So, those are the shifting pieces that are coming at the next board meeting. Uh, we'll have members of the administrative team here that will explain kind of how the actual pieces are moving on the board to make this happen. And, uh, Jeff will walk you through, uh, what those presentations will be when we're back. the next time. >> Yeah. So, just kind of give you a little preview as Hank said about what's coming next month.
Um, as you can see, there'll be four sections to this presentation that you'll get next month. Um, the first part is, uh, you'll hear a little bit from me about our FT allocations. So, uh, coming next month, we'll have all those numbers finalized at that point, assuming there aren't any massive shifts and anything that we might have to come and ask for additional FTE. Um, but just kind of let you know where those numbers stand. first for sectioning FTE which are the numbers that are tied directly to student uh requests and you know our enrollment numbers and then our non-sectioning FTE which as a reminder are the things that aren't directly tied those numbers. So those are positions like social worker, psychologist, things like that that are supporting students but aren't based on those requests based on the enrollment and what students would like to see themselves taking in the coming year.
Um section two you will get to hear from some of our esteemed colleagues uh Gina uh Sakardi of course Jake Giblin Keith Pal will talk to you about the uh impact of the allocations and how things have worked out and kind of how a lot of the it's a giant puzzle right putting this all together when you've got the number of students and requests and courses we offer. Um, so they're going to kind of walk through how some of those tough decisions are made and the coursework we offer and things like that and and really hear some cool things about what are some of the things that our students have chosen to explore further that are some of the, you know, department C increases and things like that. Uh, section three, the esteemed Scott Woo Gazer will speak about some of the things going on in special services as Hank just mentioned.
uh we have some really uh you know kind of cool things going on with T99 particular where we are going to see an increase in our uh enrollment as well as our staff and that's for good reasons. Some of our students are are coming back to us from other places. So uh kind of give you a nice overview on that and some of the other uh things impacting our special services needs for next year. Um and then I return back to kind of close out the show there uh with section four kind of talking about then what is the impact then on the actual people we have this year uh going into next year. um in particular non-tenure staff we may need to release part-time staff we need to release as well as the non-tenured staff that we are planning to renew for the coming year um and you know I'll talk a little bit about this is the last year where we have uh the two different types of people earning tenure going next year so a few years back the state changed a lot used to be a four-year path to tenure and then they created a three-year path so this is the last year of the four-year path so that's going to be kind of delineated in the documentation that you'll see in and the explanation that I'll give you to you for next for this coming meeting.
Um, but just want you to be aware that's still part of what's going on there. But we'll have all that prepared for you and share that information and be willing to take questions on all those decisions uh next board meeting on the 16th. So, we'll get into the details at our next meeting.
But, is there any questions generally on the process or any of the information we've shared this evening? All right. Thank you. >> More to come at the next meeting. >> All right. Uh, reception of visitors on the slipstream. No, >> Mike, I think you drew the short straw to read the motion. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's okay. Uh, can I get a motion from the board of education to go into close session under OMA exception number one, personnel? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Chris moved. Uh, done. Second. >> Thank you very much. >> Chris Espininoza. >> Hi, >> Ken Dawson. >> Hi, >> April Fein. >> Hi, >> Michael Riskey. >> I >> and Katie Courtourtney. >> I >> All right. Uh, we're going to be in close session in here and then we will only come out of close session to adjourn.
