And we have a responsibility to provide education to them. No, I know >> If they are their home school. So, at what point in time does the home school actually become where they're living?

Um just as the kids go up as the kids age, how does that change? Like 0% for a kindergartener and 90% for seniors and like just the thoughts behind that. I think we have a mix of uh for our for our juniors and seniors, there's a mix of hard copy books and online subscriptions. And I think what we've seen, and this is like a a pendulum's swing, right? Is that a lot of these platforms offer so much that they have gone to the kinds of things that Joey's talking about. There's so many ways to watch videos and see different interactions that you just can't get with the textbook. Oh, physics, absolutely. I mean, I'm thinking of like force and motion and stuff.

There's only 180 school days. Okay? So, if you just put that in perspective, to take that to take that team and even eliminate more means that they have to take on more observations and I don't I don't even know how it's possible. Um, I know I know the the perception here is that everything's top-heavy. There's too many people up in a in a board office and stuff like that, but it's absolutely not true, which brings me to that. Um, there is no the you know, again, the business office now has been eliminated is going to lose two individuals today um, after this, okay? So, you see that for the transfer. So, two individuals. So, I maybe that was something that wasn't um, seen on the on the paperwork. Um, data planning and research has nothing to do with the business office. That's an academic um, it advisory role.

De Cristofaro. Hi everyone. I'm Romy De Cristofaro, the assistant superintendent of student services here in District 62, [clears throat] and this is my second year in the district and I love being here. Um I hope to spend many more years here as well, but it is my 20 It says 22nd, but it's actually my 23rd year in the field of special education. I've been in a variety of roles, special education teacher, coordinator, um director, assistant director, and assistant superintendent the last eight years. I'm an NIU alumni and UIUC alumni. I also want to highlight my amazing team, Heidi Rudy, Colleen Bear in the back. Uh you're going to hear more from them tonight as well. Many of our coordinators are also in the audience. We have core special coordinators that support each of our sites. Some also play the dual role of assistant principal. We have behavior specialists and administrative assistants that really run the show.

And so I think those direct contacts in a place where they are that they feel comfortable that um that made uh that made a difference. So, any questions for me? You know where it talks about the one I tried out for an athletic team but did not make the roster. Yeah. What are we doing to address that in terms of not losing those students because they didn't make the roster? I mean are there intramural sports for them? Are we looking at different options to keep them connected? We do >> And how many and you may not know these answers off the top, but how many of our sports are no cut sports versus I don't know that answer, but I do know that um we do take data as students are trying out for teams. We have added like whole levels of sports. Um, so uh for example, we uh just got a request from Athenas from North um that they had over 50 um young women try out.

But the company's with Linewise, um, that partners and we've had good feedback from other districts who have had this in place for a year. Parents choose not to utilize the system, are there defaults, I guess, that the tech department will put in place? Yes, the in the filter follows them wherever they go. So, it will just have the default school filter, um, and that's the case if parents used to use it or the teachers use the option of classroom management there as well, but yes, they'll always have the default. It will still prevent them from accessing harmful materials, but there won't be any limits on time or locking them down to specific websites or anything like that. >> Yeah, I did not put up that my daughter was on at 1:00 a.m. on one of these. >> [laughter] >> That sounds like it was a lot of work.

So Yeah. >> A lot of great things Dr. Archer said. >> Yeah. Mr. Pufahl, Ms. Whaley and I have tag-teamed this handbook. Most of the changes that we highlighted, we kept everything in just so you can see what we would like to take out and what we'd like to change. Minor changes are highlighted. A lot of those are start times or you know, we didn't have Ms. Whaley's name on it. Change in terminology from RTI to MTSS, which is kind of the new lingo, same thing.

President and board members. Tonight I want to share a little bit about uh some meetings that we've had with elementary teachers over the last couple weeks. Um had about 80 teachers involved in 12 different curriculum map update meetings. Um at these meetings, uh this is our third consecutive year having these meetings in May. Uh but we have one teacher from each grade level from each school. uh we get together for about 90 minutes and talk about uh second grade math and then uh those teachers head back to school and we do this again for second grade uh reading and we do that at each grade level. Um kind of talk through how the year went uh what updates or adjustments we need to make any fine-tuning that we need to do. Um, but just continue to really be impressed with uh the knowledge of our teachers of the Indiana standards, our curriculum.

And we understand and we could not take this more seriously. Callahan Construction probably has done more remediation on similar sites than any contractor in Eastern Massachusetts. We've brought them on board because we want the best to handle this. So this isn't their first rodeo. We obviously understand there are things in the ground. We are removing them from the site and taking them to facilities that would accept them. So whatever it is, whatever exceeding levels it is, we have an LSP that has to provide the register and it has to go. I'll Bob Sandis on from Callahan. We have McPhail on. These guys have done many, many of these projects. If it makes the board feel a little bit more comfortable, we've talked a lot about this in a theoretical standpoint. Why don't they talk about actually they're going to be boots on the ground removing soils, doing all this stuff.

Okay. And yes, I trust our central office staff explicitly with what they're doing, with what has to be done, with what has to be filed, and you know, how the reports have to be generated.

But some families I do know who have been displaced for a few I'm going to say this, a couple of years. Um they were displaced out of Greenfield for a year and then they ended up moving back into Greenfield, and I know that Greenfield did provide transportation that entire time to that student and it has made a world of a difference in that child's life. Yeah, because you don't want a kid who's constantly being pulled from this district, plucked in that one in a single school year. Yeah. And like I said, that what I said was the general rule, but there are exceptions and exemptions and opportunities. >> I think as a district I think as a district we are always looking to put our students and our teachers first. And often and any minute we'll speak to this, but often times these situations that we're talking about are coming out of the school district because the Kent Intermediate Joint Agreement places would reimburse us 50% And that would be why we have money in transportation.

So, we have books available, you know, hard copy books available in the classrooms for students who might have it in their IEP or they might have a 504 for a visual issue. But, by and large, any teacher that we talked to, the the books are in the classroom and they're they're more prevalent to take the the online version. Now, that being said, you know, in science that we've been slowly phasing out any science textbooks at the elementary school. They're at all online subscriptions and they're going to all hands-on curriculum that doesn't even have a book because we don't need it. It's all generated in house. So, we're using different resources. But, you know, we we talked about this. Certainly, kindergarten, we want kids off technology as much as possible. By the time they get to 11th and 12th grade, for those, you know, who who who come back from college and talk to us, they're all online textbooks that they're buying.

Interesting point about payroll though, I will I will I will say that. Um, we've had one payroll person here for a million years uh, and there's some interesting things uh, that was very telling to me uh, and how dangerous that is actually. Uh, so now a company helps do that, but with any payroll company you have, you have to have a liaison on this side. So, that's basically that role.
