Mr. Oando then provided state legislative updates, including pending bills related to district's multi-tiered systems of support, MTSS, plans, and regulations regarding student cell phone use during instructional time. The legislative briefing also touched on mandate reductions, traumainformed training, and provisions for students experiencing homelessness. Finally, the committee reviewed the first reading of press issue 121, policies, which primarily featured minor language updates, legal cross reference adjustments, and five-year reviews. Next meeting is going to be on June 9th. Thank you.
I will be unavailable. >> Okay. This has happened traveling. >> This happened one summer that we actually did not reorganize until August because [laughter] this summer >> we got to do it beforehand. >> In theory, I may be able to log on remotely, but most likely I'll be flying around. So, >> no, that's good to know because if Tilta needs to continue, I'll want to >> We cannot use the 25th. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> And they will want to continue. They're closing on the >> So, it sounds like we may not reorganize until >> August. And I think that's fine. We've done that before. So that gives that gives others on this board a chance to attempt to chair and see what it's like or give Paul practice. >> Deepa might want to try so >> we can figure it out and by August we'll we'll have some ideas of who wants to step up.
>> Any questions? Okay. And we did not have building and finance, >> right? So >> thanks graduation. >> All right. Next we have the teachers association and we have Mark tonight. >> Good evening.

So a happy summer to you all >> and to you as well. >> Thank you >> Christie from ESP. >> Good evening. Thank you for having me as always. Well, we made it to the end of the school year. Um, I'm grateful for the opportunity to um be able to attend these monthly meetings and to use my few minutes at the podium each month to recognize the many accomplishments of the approximate 240 ESPs that work throughout District 230.
>> We have done it before and if if the I would just say if the >> Well, we also still have July. >> Yes, July. >> Oh yeah. I skipped that entire month. [laughter] At least what she said. I thought we were just going to coast through July. >> Well, I'm just being realistic based on our pattern so far that I'm sure somebody's going to have unavailability in July. >> Yeah. >> Anyhow, I think we'll be fine whether it's in July or not. >> So, it might it might be something that you put on that you put on the agenda so that whenever we're all here, boom, it can happen, right? Um, >> agree with that. >> Yeah. So it's just there apply as a placeholder but otherwise >> all right >> get there when we get there. >> Wonderful. So >> all right >> Paul you want me to make a motion to >> we want to adjourn >> within world record of less than an hour.
Um, on May 16th of this year, in conjunction with Teacher Appreciation Week, the National Education Association also celebrated World ESP Day, an opportunity to acknowledge the education support professionals who help strengthen schools, communities, and unions nationwide. In district 230, as I've mentioned many times before, our ESPs provide essential support throughout our schools and buildings in roles including clerical, financial, security, and paraprofessional. uh services. Any chance I get, I will gladly express my appreciation for the hard work that the ESPs do each and every day to support our students, our schools, our fellow staff members, and of course, our community. The ESP association also says goodbye to several ESPs who have recently retired or who will be retiring in the coming days. combined, these ESPs have an average career time span of about 20 years, which I think that is really fantastic to have such a long career here.
>> Do you want to do the honors? >> It's all you. >> Scott, you seem excited. You press the button. You do it. >> A motion to close the meeting at >> 809. >> Second. >> Anna Tesmanitzki. I >> Trisha Kendall. What? >> Angel Kazadian eye. >> No eye. >> Don't steal. [laughter] Don't steal. Was she? >> Good job.
Um, they've undoubtedly made a significant and positive impact uh during their time here, and of course, they will be greatly missed. Lastly, on a personal note, I would like to thank the school board and all of the administration for the cooperative working relationship that you have shown me um as I've navigated my first year as president of the ESP Association Union. I look forward to continuing this positive and productive momentum into the upcoming school year. Best wishes to everyone for a great summer. I of course will be around and I'm sure I'll see you somewhere along the way. But I hope you all have a fantastic summer in the meantime and I thank you so much for your time tonight. Thank you for all you do, >> Jennifer. District 230 foundation update. just like to quickly um add that the foundation board um reviewed about 20 teacher grants last month and they decided and voted on 14 to fund for a total of just over $34,000.
So everything from fine arts to postsecary to social emotional needs. Um I we can look forward to a lot of good work being done next year. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thanks. >> And thank you. I was able to attend that meeting and I saw the hard work that they put into reviewing all of those applications um and more to come about the process and they had a course on that at institute day so people could know how to apply for it so they could be successful. So it's a kudos um to a hardworking group of people benefiting our students and staff. So thank you. Um at this time we do not have any public comments. Correct. >> Okay. All right. Next. Could I have a motion for our consent agenda? >> I move that the school board approve the consent agenda items as presented.
>> Second. >> Any questions? All right. Lisa, will you take the role? >> Member. >> Yes. >> Member. >> Yes. >> Member Sarah Tori. >> Yes. >> Member Dalton. >> Yes. >> Member D. >> Yes. >> Member Kelly. >> Yes. >> Member Zer. >> Yes. Motion passed. Next, we have our project report day.
Good evening everyone. Um report as of yet, but construction starts up first thing Monday morning. So, um we're ready to dive in with all of our projects. The roofing, the HVAC, uh track repair, lighting, we've got lights and all over the place. So, uh we're off and running, very busy. So, hopefully next month I'll have uh some projects finished and project reports on where we're at with all the other projects we have. So, but maybe has any specific questions on any projects. >> You keep us updated every month. So, thank you. >> All right. Sweet. >> All right. We have no new business or no old business. So, superintendent updates. >> Yes.
Uh again, I'll keep this uh brief and and as always, we'll answer any questions based on the information provided. If I could um uh attract your attention to page page three, which is actually on the second page. So, it's page three on the bottom. Um, just a a highlight of of the work that um and and again, I I feel like I'm talking on behalf of people in this room that should be probably talking in behalf of themselves, but um Charles and his team did a lot of work um with regard to EL as our board has known. Um since we focused on our strategic framework, you know, we we do have uh an area with our EL population that we need to address and and one of the big shifts is uh the EL program review, which um is going to generate, I think, a a really um a great opportunity to start um working through some of those uh gaps.
Um so, uh we we did a lot of work on an institute day with our EL teachers and Kota teachers, especially at Samberg and Stag um because that's a new model for them for the next year. um information coming back from um all involved was was positive uh which is always great when you have kind of a significant change people feeling good about it is is a good thing. So uh really proud of the efforts that were that were done uh within our EL program review and looking forward to seeing the results. Uh if you jump to page five. Um so the um uh obviously we spent a lot of time in this month unpacking ACT results although ACT made a little bit more complex wrong results and we're waiting for the new results to be right. Um so we're still unpacking that. You know nothing could be without a little bit of a pickup here and there.
>> Do we know do we know when the new scores are coming out? June 2nd is when we're supposed to receive. >> Thank you. >> Y >> like I said, I probably shouldn't be presenting this information. I I do none of the work, but I get to present it to you all. Um but um I do want to give compliments. Our curriculum advisory committee and division chairs um put together a six-year uh cycle u for continuous improvements within our uh curriculum process. Um and and you could see the details in terms of the phases of the process. Uh all I can tell you is as a superintendent it's it's a much needed thing that we haven't had for a very long time. Um we kind of uh pardon the expression we kind of use a dartboard approach in previous years and I think Anita and her team has done a wonderful job putting a systems in place um that has uh a lot of um opportunity for us to continually revise and and update our curriculum.
Um again one of our pillars is relevant curriculum uh responsible responsive excuse me curriculum. Um, and this is really a big step forward to make sure our curriculum is always uh fresh, updated, and and connecting to kids uh post-secary opportunities. Um, so you can see there'll be some piloting process with some of our courses in multiple departments for next year. Um, so we're looking forward to that as well. Uh, the last thing I'll highlight is on the very last page, page 13 of 13. Uh we did a lot of work this month uh in terms of wrapping up, if you will, our curriculum, excuse me, pardon me, our strategic framework process. Um next month at the board meeting, we will be unveiling a lot of the things that we'll be looking forward to as well as infusing that within our uh committee um uh processes as well.
Uh but things that I think you'll anticipate um I think at this point in in the process our teams whether it's administrative staff um to some extent students um have looked at what we've accomplished with our freshman on track process as uh an opportunity to maybe offboard that as an area of focus because we put systems in place and the results are there. Uh but as we have discussed um at at great lengths, obviously ACT is presenting a challenge that we think um might take the place of freshmen on track. Uh so we're going to do some work in the next couple weeks within our leadership team actually Monday. Uh we have uh all of our administrators together at Andrew High School to start to go through that process. But uh we uh hope to bring to you in a month from now um some some of the trajectory some of the the trajectories that we're taking um that might be a little bit different.
um including offboarding uh freshman on track and revising our teacher retention metric with also consideration for uh how we might uh move forward with ACT. Um so again I can answer any questions from uh the information provided. This is my last presentation of this kind for this year and as you all know um and we'll talk a little bit about it in close session in terms of process. Um this will actually feed into the board goal setting meeting that'll take place a month from now as well. Um where we will refresh, revise and refocus some of those goals based on the board's um uh f board's interest. >> Thank you. Any other questions? >> All right. Hoya wasformational board comments. We'll start with member Kelly. >> I always do that. >> I I look at the glasses. first read. So we don't have >> we don't Yes, we do have to have a motion >> motion or motion.
>> Right. >> Okay. >> Could I have a motion? I move that the school board approve the first reading of board policies 2200 2250 2260 4165 7130 720 750 7100 7185 7240 7260 7300 890 530 550 5250 5330 7220 7230 7280 665 6100 6145 6170 6180 22 220 and 214 40 E. >> Second. >> Who' you give it to? >> Sue. >> Okay. >> Sue. >> Yep. >> All in favor? >> I I >> I motion passes. All right. Next. Boya. Informational board comments. Member Kelly. >> Um, just one comment. I uh just got a text from Miss Spendellski today about meeting June 10th. Uh and I just think it's really cool that you know uh there's so much work going behind the scenes and we'll be meeting soon just to talk about where the district is headed and I just appreciate you guys taking the extra effort.
That's a lot. I'm sure last thing you want to do is have another meeting. Um but I appreciate you guys taking the time. >> Thank you. Yeah. Um I'm glad the weather uh cooperated for us for our three commencement ceremonies last week. Um obviously congratulations to all those students and their families. Um but especially all of our 230 staff as well. Um our committee members um my fellow board members as well. Um just what a privilege it was to be a part of those celebrations and uh welcome our new member uh board member Mohamad. He's going to be a great board member and excited not to be the rookie anymore. Good point. >> Uh I just kind of offer what Tim said. Just congratulate all three schools on the great job with the graduations. Uh everything went very smooth. Uh the weather held out for us.
I know Monday was very questionable, but it evaporated and it turned out to be a great day and uh you know once again uh everybody did a wonderful job. So, uh, you know, we should be proud of what we do every year and, uh, thank God we had good weather this year. So, that's all I got. >> Right. Member Don, >> May is a month of celebration. Um, as we are winding up a year when we started out with the scholarship nights at all three schools. um to see our students get the scholarships and to hear the great work that they did to earn those scholarships, the number of service hours, their grade point averages, um their dedication to their schoolwork and community is a great pride to our district. Uh and then we can swing into the graduation where we are um going to each school and having them walk the stage.
Um it is such an honor. it is um it is the cherry on the Sunday as a board member to be able to present those uh diplomas. So uh it was a wonderful three schools. Thankfully again the weather worked out. Um, we had a a difficult year this year um as a board with numerous things going on and I'm very proud that our teachers and our support staff and our administrators and everyone that focuses on the kids so they can do what they're here to do um to learn to participate in co-curriculars to do athletics to be a part of the school community. So, I am very proud of um what our co kids were able to accomplish and I thank all those um from uh the top on down that made that possible as we went through this year. So, thank you very much.
