Um, our goal is to provide a flexible after-school option for our families with no attendance requirement, but with homework help, some tutoring support, and then some extra play with their peers. Uh, those programs are continuing to grow as well. And the sixth grade after school program is pretty similar to homework heroes. It has the same hours, same attendance policy. Uh, the difference there is it's actually all uh school day teachers that are working in those programs. So the students are getting a lot of um homework help in um and it is a little shorter because the junior high gets out later. So they are mostly just doing their um academic time and then on Fridays they do enrichment activities. Enrichment activities at the sixth grade level. Yeah. Because they don't have homework on Fridays usually. Yeah. Um although it is an option if they do have a project or something like that, they can work on it.
A grant program requires consistency, predict predictability, and a clear administrative control. This structure does not fully provide that on its own, but it does allow us an avenue to kind of pursue the the grant idea. As a potential funding mechanism. Um but it would have to go through the foundations and it's ultimately subjected to the policies um of the foundation, so distribution has to be uh has to be So, the distribution of the funds as as far as I understand it have to be to eligible nonprofit entities. Um So, stepping stepping back, this fund is definitely a lot more flexible than the endowment fund. It can support new initiatives, but it's still it's not a fully controlled or stand-alone funding source. Uh it would it it works best as a partnership tool and not a primary program funding mechanism, which is what what I believe um we wanted to tie to to the mini grant proposal.

Uh all those in favor, please say I. I. I. I. I. Any opposed? All right. That motion carries. We're going to move on to the next one. Thank you, Kelly. Thank you. Uh the next policy is 5144.4 and it is is is an updated CABE recommended policy uh regarding discipline um particularly when it's related to physical exercise. Essentially the the essence of this policy is that students should be engaged during our academic day and wellness activities particularly at the elementary level and it notes that a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity or recess time is needed at the elementary level and this policy goes on to further specify that discipline should not be a loss of recess should not be a common practice. There are several exceptions to this in more extreme circumstances if there was a safety issue an administrator would would have reason on a given day to make an exception to that or if there was a short loss you know if a student has a 30 minute recess and there's a consequence for a couple of those minutes that that would be permissible by this policy but ensuring that all students have access to that much needed physical activity and wellness and that they have positive associations with physical activity and wellness.
Uh this is our daily uh average daily participation. So this isn't how many students are enrolled. This is about how many students participate per day. So, every morning we have about 960 students that come to school between 6:30 and 7:15 prior to when like school would normally be open to um to students to arrive. Um our afterchool TKK, we have about 230 per day um participating blastund uh 1,171 is our daily average attendance. Homework heroes, there's about 100 450 enrolled, but about 383 that are coming each day. and then sixth grade about 215 per day. Um our inter session camps, this is probably one of my favorite pieces of our department. Um we are required to have 30 additional out of um school days per year. So 30 days that we're running nine hours of of programming. Uh we choose to do that from 7:30 to 4:30 and this is open to all TK through 6th grade students.
Uh so, and And needless to say, this is where we're currently at. We're trying to understand how these funds operate in practice and confirming what is actually available. If this pass-through fund still does exist, how much money is currently sitting it currently sits on and what are some stipulations because as far as I am I understand that this pass-through fund was created with the sole purpose of supporting this the initiatives of this commission. But the part that is a little bit unclear to me is whether or not this has developed into like like Allison hinted out, it could very well be that these two funds got umbrellaed into a larger fund and we're still trying to get some clarity as to what exactly what funding mechanisms are sitting in the foundation, how much money is presently in them, and whether or not the distribution can be made through a um a a nonprofit that would decide to um run the actual administration of this grant of this mini grant program.
Mark Milano. We have the Super Nerdio Brothers from DHS, sponsored by Dartmouth Heritage and Lyons Law Group. And we have the Word Warriors, a DHS team, sponsored by Nat and Ellie Watson. >> [applause] [cheering] >> Oh, this is a DMS That's a DMS team. Yeah. I might have said the Word Warriors are a DHS team, but they are in fact a DMS team representing Dartmouth Middle School. All right, you can go with the answers. Teams ready? Your first word is simple. It's an adjective. Too easy to understand, deal with, or use. Simple. The opening word in this flight should be a simple one to spell. Simple. Pens down.

February in New England can have some wicked snowstorms.
It also notes in this policy that PPT so for any special education students that a planning and placement team could for example adjust this very rarely does this occur but it might be that a student receives receives physical therapy services instead of recess or something of that nature and that would be agreed to by the parent again very rare circumstance but it is permissible in this policy.
They don't have to be enrolled in an afterchool program to be able to participate. Um, so our opportunities include early back camp that are it's open to all TK through sixth grade students and there's enrollment for each camp every single time. There's no prior enrollment needed. They don't have to be part of the BLAST program to be able to participate. Yeah. Um, so those camp opportunities, we have four this typically. um our early back camp which is a week before school starts. Um October Monday is what we'll be doing this coming year um to have that Monday that we don't have school. Uh spring break that we just finished a couple of weeks ago and our summer camp that's that's coming up. Oops. Um our program, so early back camp this year we had 348 students participate. Uh December Saturday we had about 118. So, we're looking forward to that October Monday of having more students participate since it'll be uh more likely of parents are going to be working that day since it's not a holiday day off.
Um and lastly, I know I've been talking a lot. I'll just go through the the last funding mechanism and this was actually very interesting for me because it was it was the Jewett Jewett chair project. If you guys have been to the farmers market, it's it's one of those chairs. Um and this was a special project that was funded to kind of have this stay this chair implemented. Um The specific funding models that was used uh it it is So, this is not an endowment and it's not a general fund. And I think the easiest way to comprehend this is that it kind of works as a a crowdfunding, right? Um If there's members of the public that uh see a need for a specific memorial or perhaps some form of art installation that for the betterment of the community, this essentially dictates that you guys could crowdfund for it.
February. Pens down. Reveal your answer. Thank you. All ready? Your third word is broccoli. It's a noun. Broccoli. A form of cultivated cruciferous plant whose leafy stalks and clusters of usually green buds are eaten as a vegetable. Broccoli or broccoli.

It's a noun. Mosquito.

Committee members do we have any questions about this policy? Okay I don't see any any hands up here or any uh motion for that Um, any non-committee members have any questions about this policy? All right. I'm looking for a motion uh to recommend policy 514 up- updated policy 5144.4, physical exercise and discipline of students, uh to the board for a first read. Is there a motion on the floor, please? Motion. Thank you, Sharon. Is there a second, please? Second. Thank you, Gladys. All those in favor, please say I. I. >> I.
>> Yes, please. >> Yes. Mhm. Um, so our families get to sign up for that. We don't typically target students particularly, but school day teachers are the ones that are um working directly with those students during those camps. So, they are doing lots of creative lessons um to get them back into reading and to some math skills just to get them prepared. Is that what you're asking? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Um we just had spring break camp um and we had 422 students. That was really fun. And this summer we are currently staffed to have 2,200 students participate in our summer camp that will run from June 8th until July 2nd. So actually this year there's only going to be a month off between the last day of summer camp until early back camp starts. Yeah. Um we're going to have I'm going to introduce Mr.
Um And this is not like I said, this is not endowed but it's a project specific fund um that is set through the community foundation for one defined specific project. Um The purpose of of that fund is typically to receive donations for one project and to support the creation of of installation for a specific thing that you guys are trying to achieve. Um But why does this model work? The structure works because it is tied to a specific project and it has a clear funding goal. Um and another thing that I'll point is that it it does have some uh uh some hidden details or critical details that are worth noting. Mainly, 10% of each donation is transferred into the endowment fund, so even uh project-based funding contributions back into it kind of puts contributions back into long-term maintenance. I believe 10% of the the total amount that is donated would have to go to the endowment fund to be reserved for the sole purpose of funding.
Mosquito. After a long hike in the woods, the family was covered in mosquito bites. Put it up. Put it back. Mosquito. I'll say it. >> [cheering] >> For your sixth word, spell basilisk. It's a noun.

Any opposed? All right. Motion so carries. Thank you. All right, Kel. The next policy um is 5122.1, um and the title of this policy did change from the former policy. The essence of this policy is the same. There's some small revisions to update with current schools, um but it's our regarding our alternative uh educational programs. Um and this primary this policy is primarily focused on the Reach and Endeavor programs. Um it talks about um how uh schools can utilize the alternative placement for a variety of different reasons to support students' needs. Um there was some question at the last policy meeting. We decided to table this policy um because we wanted a little bit more detail on the process. Um so, what we have done is we've updated the regulations attached to this policy to spell out the process.
Hec. Um Nate is our coordinator at Citrus. He's been with us for four years now and he is going to share a little bit what happens at his program and one of his enrichment groups.
And a 1% of the available crowdfunding gets gets kind of absorbed by administrative cost. These These are administrative requirements that the foundation handles. Handles. So, the those are some of the fees associated with with crowdfunding, right? So, you you can crowdfund for a specific project, but 10% of that would go towards maintenance and 1% of that would go towards the administration of this of this um of the type of mechanism. Uh but some big picture takeaways, uh stepping back, this model shows us something important that this is a project-driven funding approach, and it does open the the room for uh further conversation as to how we can integrate public art into our infrastructure besides of what we've what this commission has historically done, which is uh uh the 1% of the the the capital improvement plan, which is uh it just adds another layers of potential funding mechanisms that we can use to get art out there.
