So thank you guys. >> I have a couple things. First of all, I'd like to give a shout out to member Dalton who's hiding her distinguished board member pin that she just earned. and unfortunately some of us were at the um educa the student support meeting and we couldn't be there but we were there in spirit. So thank you for your continued commitment over a decade of being a board member and the countless hours that you have put in. So that was very welld deserved. So thank you. Um the second thing I had the opportunity today to attend the Orland women's lunchon so that was very nice to network with people and you know I'm not a shy person. In doing so, I ended up meeting with people who work for I Can Dream, and that is one of the programs that support our transition students.
The framework is similar to identical, right? And then we're going to be working on constantly in our professional development um what does responsive teaching and corrective instruction look like and and how do we continue to make sure that we're using the best most research based strategies possible. So we're going to continue to to explore those high school level courses and continue to think about our kids getting opportunities for high school credit and additional courses as well. Um, and again, so how would we measure the success? You know, we're going to use 2425 as a baseline. Um, we'll continue to uh look at, like I said, benchmark assessments for us. It's Checkpoint one, two, and three usually is what we use because it gives us very specific standards related information uh by kid. Uh we're going to do quarterly reviews in our buildings and um you know, we we want to be able to as as Mr.
Any questions? Thank you, Miss Colin. Planning Committee, we just had a meeting, Mr. Aki. >> All right. We met a couple hours ago. Um, and the biggest uh issue we want to get through is the capital expenditure plan. Um, our goal is to uh get that out of committee and to the board. get out of committee in April and get it to the board in May so we can figure out where we're at. Um, I don't know. Do we want to go into depth with that or we could just hold on to that? >> I think we can just share like some big high we had a a guest tonight talk to us. Um, so >> yeah, I was going to I was going to get to that as as we go go down the uh agenda from tonight. Um, we we spoke about the weight room uh updating the weight room situation.
But uh I really I'm just thinking back to last November and the comments I got from people and when I saw it on the when I saw it on the referendum was like with a parking lot. I was just thinking about the loading dock. >> Um and I do think the loading dock uh the loading dock probably would have a little bit more I suspect it would probably get a little bit more support than a parking lot. There's something there. there's a structure that is unsound from what you're saying or will be unound in the near future. Whereas the parking lot, ever talking about it being unound, I just feel like that's a difficult pitch because the flooding has been there, I don't see why it would have changed for decades. So, >> but I do worry that we have the potential of moving two items for referendum if we're talking about data, >> right?
They asked if I would write a letter of support. They actually wrote it for me um and helped me, but I could have written it. They're looking for a block grant to help our students with housing insecurity. And you know, that's one of my passions. So, if anybody has a problem with it, otherwise I will write that. But that will benefit um many, many students if they can get their grant. And we know with funding any dollars that people can get is appreciated. Um I also want to give a shout out to the driver's ed team. What I really appreciated and we saw a much more comprehensive presentation at the committee level. The work that they did um is a model for all to see the teacher development through the curriculum advisory board. Their connection with the e teacher their model could be used for all courses.
Daniel said, we want to be able to tell you um when we notice or if we notice a ship, right? the ship sinking, right? Prevent that. >> Yeah, there. There. Yes. >> What does that look like? The quarterly building. Is that just purely data like quantitative data or is that qualitative? Are you going to get feedback from what stakeholders or or just tell me a little about Yeah, I I'll tell you that um in order to make sure that we are um uniform in a way that we can build off of each other and use strengths, we're going to spend some time um aligning that a little bit better, right? Um currently both schools have data teams that take a look at both our data at several levels, right? school wide class or grade level wide subject and individual kids right and basically um you know I like to say it's numbers to names and names to places we're going to figure out which make sure um so looking at all of those measurements at least every quarter >> and being able to kind of share a dashboard >> in the elementary they use their guiding coalition they use their leadership team they use their data teams I mean there lots of different eyes on it they're not the same group of people in each of those each of those teams but >> department chairs >> PLC leaders success teams that will be part of that tier two, you know, just kind of overlooking.
The uh the once we do the HVAC, we had talked about having to do the floor. We apparently uh Mr. Parisino decided that the floor is top quality. We're going to keep the floor so we don't have to uh wait once the HVAC is in. Then it's just a matter of just getting the new equipment in. Uh so that's that's a good thing. Um the wait room again will be temporarily held in the uh in the maintenance garage. Um while the work is going on this summer in uh for the HVAC, uh we spent a significant amount of time talking about the turf and and and the field review. Um, I'll pass this back down to you because you probably could present this better than I could. >> I don't know that that's true. Um, but I'll just share some highlights. We had SLR come to share some preliminary design elements of the uh new track and field.
I think that's part of the discussion is what what is the strategy for how many referendum next year and this year >> and we already just experienced the competing interest of last referendum cycle. So I guess >> let's table that for sure. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And that's all I have for you. I have some followup and thank you Kevin for joining us and John. >> Does anyone want the one hard? >> I have the digital. Thank you. >> Let me see it if nobody else is. It's again it's like that picture just on every slide to fill. >> Thank you. >> At home has questions. >> Yes. >> At home has questions for us prior to test meeting. >> Yeah. >> Please send them our way. >> Okay. >> Contact us. >> Yeah. Sure. >> Um motion to adjourn. >> All in favor? I >> we are a jured.
And Dr. Dr. Huffman reminded us we have over 300 courses and it reminded me of where I sit as a board member and I ask myself two questions every day. Do I do I trust the administrative team? That is a resounding yes. And do I trust the curriculum advisory board process and those two things regardless of the course in hand we have wonderful people and wonderful systems in place. So, thank you for showing that and showing casing just one course of what we do for all and keeping our kids safe on the road is ever important. And then lastly is Eid Mubarak for our families that are celebrating tonight and couldn't be here today. So, with that, oh, member Casmir, you did a nice job reading the motion last time. Uh, I'd like to make a motion to enter into executive session to consider information regarding the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of a specific employee or legal council for the public body.
And during those meetings, we uh we typically will interview our students, try to find their interest. Um bring in information from parents what are their perspectives of what's going on and help learn a lot of steps. >> I think the key is that if there's any negative trends that they find in their reviews and we'll make a change. We're not riding this horse until it dies. You know, we'll we'll make those adjustments on the fly. And these guys were deep into their data and they know they'll know quickly whether or not we're on the wrong path or not. So, I feel really confident in that. But that's a commitment I think that we we want to make that we're not sticking to this whether it works or not works. We're make it work. But we'll make adjustments if we find out that it's not working as well.
I know that there's been a lot of talk of replacing just the turf, but basically where we are with our um our track. Um the asphalt underneath our track is over 30 years old. That's a long long life that that our track has had and um honestly it it makes a lot of sense just to do the two projects together. So SLR went through the um the initial plan review and some of the elements. John Paracino had shared previously some safety elements and ways that we could um there were some netting and I think it was our shot put um just >> yes it was a shot put >> okay yes I was like oh was it a discus um but there were just some elements that could be um improved as part of that project um and so they SLR is going to get back with some more figures.
To discuss student disciplinary cases to discuss matters relating to placement of individual students in special education programs and to consider other matters relating to individual students. To discuss collective negotiating matters or deliberations concerning salary schedules for one or more classes of employees. and to discuss pending or probable litigation against affecting her on behalf of the public body. >> I second. >> At least you want to take role. >> Member Kelly. >> Yes. >> Member Casmir. >> Yes. >> Member Dalton. >> Yes. >> Member Dan. >> Yes. >> Member. >> Yes. We are going into executive session at 8:24. When we come back, we do not put that back on the screen. So for those of you who can officially now start spring break, have at it. The rest of us have a little bit more work to do. So thank you.
We kind of talk through that a little bit. I would just say that um there's there's multiple ways to look at our data, right? And so we look at individual student data and we also look Right. So, um economically disadvantaged, different ethnicities, special education, all of this to try to identify. Um, you know, is there is there a group of learners that we need to make sure that our lessons are connecting more with and being able to adjust our instructional strategies in other ways, more specific walk on the sidewalk, go to school, pick up lunch on the way you told us >> a few board meetings overseas. >> Sorry, I don't mean >> Stockholm. I was trying to think. >> So, here's some of the things. We've already discussed some of these um but the commitment to adjust if needed like Dr. mention um looking really at that cohort of tracking sixth grade math just to see if we see any changes based on the reduction of minutes in sixth grade math um looking at our MTSS data at all the tiers and then benchmark growth comparison so looking at our benchmark checkpoints for iLearn as well as just even formative assessments that occur within content areas and then look at a year we see any trends or changes in a positive or negative way.
our planning committee has the opportunity to ask some questions and if board members have any questions about uh turf track field I can share that initial presentation and share them with SLR. Um we have planned to put that in budget year one. We understand that that would go to referendum um for this November for a potential start date of next year. That that's the preliminary plan. But >> we we have ballpark numbers. I don't know if we want to talk about those yet. >> Yeah. So, um, the very like initial estimate was 1.8 1.7 1.8 for both the track and the turf. Um, and that's without the shock pad. I know that the board has heard a lot about GMAX testing and the risk of concussion and protecting um, our athletes. And, you know, there is a lot of variation in what can be offered in a turf field.
>> I appreciate the sixth grade math and I know you'll be watching. Everybody wants to wants to succeed. >> Yes. No matter what the system is, everybody wants children to succeed. >> So I appreciate that's one of your top goals. >> I think I would just add too we have monthly department chair meetings. We have monthly team meetings currently will probably be more like a PLC type of some of those qualitative measures will also be our systems that are in place for us to continue our teacher as well. I wonder I mean change is always hard >> worduc it's hard and I think I'm sorry >> I guess what I'm just and we've asked teachers to do a lot of things differently over the last year you know sense I just wonder if you talked about the different I would say I would strongly urge you guys to think about having a really like dedicated time to monitor this and get that feedback because it could be, you know, I think we need to hear how it's going from the people who are implementing it and making sure that we're keeping all that.
um not so much the track, but you know, there's a lot of decisions to be made about how much we want to invest and that can really change the the the dollar value of the project, but it's looking like 1.7 1.8 right now. Um and there's even when we're talking about turf, there are a lot of uh there's a lot of impact on what is happening in the Middle East on those markets as well. And those prices are shifting a lot. So, it's even as removed as we're talking about turf and that's impacting prices. Um, and she understands the uh the track that they're talking about going down inches on the track. So, it's not just the rubber surface. It's the going down to the asphalt, you know, putting a new layer of stone and then two layers of asphalt and then putting the track on top of that.
I I just feel like it could get lost if it's if it's all these other meetings. So, I just would encourage you to maybe think about for the first year because the monitoring is going to be so important and we need to make sure You want to make sure you get to it before it crashes. >> They'll do their check. We'll have not only have data to take a look at this year, but we'll have checkpoint one data in the first quarter. Um because those checkpoints, there are three checkpoints prior to the summitive assessment. Plus, with the MTSS model, as David mentioned, there's going to be those ass
So, it's >> it's quite an involved process. We talked about uh the track as it currently sits. The standard is outside the outside lane. You should have one meter and we have about 8 in between the outside lane and the fence. So possibly moving the fence out. The uh the shotput pit doesn't meet standard. It's the apparently I'm sorry discus uh pit is supposed to be uh a half inch below grade. That little circle that they throw out of ours doesn't do that. The the the netting that we have around doesn't meet standard. So there's a lot there's a lot of moving parts that go along with the project. It's not just the the track itself and and the turf. And I know this is the beginning of a conversation, but one thing that has been asked um before just in general is, you know, well, what if we went back to natural grass?
Uh and that would be a very costly uh initial investment, yearly investment, and it would really reduce the amount of time that we get on the field. You get about 25 hours on a good week on a natural ga grass field. The time is pretty much limitless on turf. Um and John Paracino very roughly estimated about 36 hours of practice game time a week. So that's well above you know what we have you know and we don't have enough field space to rest rest a natural grass field. So >> I think the other misconception and I didn't bring this up when we were meeting is um the thought of can we do it separately? Can we do the field and then the track? And I think, you know, the plan that's presented suggests or recommends that we do everything all at once. Can you speak to kind of why that idea would not, you know, be cost-effective or >> Yeah.
So, there's a couple things in play there. So, when we talk about the track, tracks should be replaced every 21 years if you have them on a maintenance cycle of every I think it was year seven, year 14, year 21. um you know, we're past that point and some of the maintenance options that would have been available to us aren't anymore because the the track is just it's older. Um and so you have a 21-year life cycle on a track, you have about 12 to 15 years on the new turf. And so they kind of go hand in hand. And because both our track and turf are um older, you know, it's it's kind of time for the replacement. Um and just doing them on separate years, you know, there there is economy in doing them at the same time, you know, with as with everything.
