Okay. Eagle's Wings Charter School update. Anything on that? Um, no. Um we will be uh having an executive meeting later this week uh to discuss some uh pertinent matters uh regarding the the charter. Um this gets into um uh some of
003the fundraising and allocation of responsibilities. So more to follow from that meeting. So all right, Nathan, you're up. All right. So, spring sports are now over. So, we'll run through kind of the last uh playoff series here. So, track and field, we did have five runners that competed at the uh state track meet that was held in lacrosse on June 6th and 7th. Um Alyssa Fawsome competed in two events, the 100 and the 200 meter. Kiss in the 400 meter. Penelopey Berfield in the 800 meter, Jacob Tagert in the 800 meter, and Isaac Dickinson in the 1600 meter and the 3200 meter. Um Isaac finished fourth and fifth. Um and so he placed on the podium for the two events that that he was in. Um Jacob and Isaac, they were also the sectional champions
004in their events. So congratulations to those um track kids. It was the most kids we've ever had um represent our school at the state track meet. So great accomplishment for them. And how many divisions are there in the Is that like cross country? There's only There's three divisions. Yep. Yep. And Kaden and Isaac are the two seniors out of that that group. So Now, does that affect us like it would like it did with cross country? Didn't No, because there is a team component to track, but you can't make it your whole team doesn't advance in track. It's it's only individuals. So, there will be a state champion for track, but it's really which kids that have qualified for state track accumulate the most number of points. A couple years ago, um a girl from
005Webster won the straight the state track in girls for Webster by herself. She won I think she won two events and placed in another one and that was more points than any of the other teams had. So she walked home with a trophy for Webster as division three state champs when it was just her that was participating. So So there is no um that performance factor that is is in other sports does not apply to track and field. Okay. Um softball they finished with a 16-6 record and an 11-1 record in the conference. They won their fifth straight conference title and fifth straight regional title as well. Uh they won their sectional semi-final game against Melon, a team that they had lost to last year in the sectional semi-final and who had beat them earlier
006on in the season. So they avenged both of those losses and they went on to face Thorp in the sectional final and they were defeated by Thorp and Thorp went on to the state tournament. Uh we did have several girls that made their allconerence team. Uh first team was Payton Simson, Emily Adrian, and Audrey Swanson. Second team was Kendall Nelson, Khloe Denniger, and Savannah Budlavich. So congratulations to the softball team on a great season. In baseball, uh we finished with a 12-4 record, 9-1 in the conference. We won our fifth straight conference regional title, same as the girls in softball. Uh we all we had our sectionals last week on Tuesday. Um both of those games are on the same day. So we defeated Washurn 86 and then fell to Edgar um in the sectional
007final. So Edgar will be representing our sectional at the state tournament starting tomorrow for them. Uh we had five U players that made the allconerence team. Uh Jared Schultz, Isaiah Alberg, and Ezra Alberg were firstteamers. Um Jared was the player of the year in the conference and second teamers were Gunnar Gmbieski and Bla1 KD. So, um, a very successful, um, spring sports season for all three of our teams that, uh, were representing our school. So, um, as far as coaching positions, I posted them, uh, last month. We have had some candidates for the middle school girls and the high school assistant position. Um, I'm hoping to, um, have those to you in the July meeting for for approval. Um because baseball ran late, I was not able to do any interviews and we will get
008those uh those people interviewed and um Hey, John. Yeah. Can you mute until you want to talk, please? Yeah, that's temporary noise. Be quiet here. Um so hopefully for the July meeting, we will have um some approvals for the board on those positions. As of right now, we don't have any um candidates for the football assistant position for middle school boys basketball head coach or middle school boys basketball assistant coach. So, we're hoping that we have some candidates moving forward. So, um we did have a coaching resignation last week. Um Shannon Dickinson did resign from her position as uh assistant and middle school cross country coach. Uh she did that position for 12 years. So, we thank her for the time and dedication for our cross country team and we're certainly um our cross country
009team's in a great spot because of the time that she put into that. So, I will um add that position to our um posting availability for for that cross country position um for the fall. Um one thing that is new this year and that's the next piece is that WIA give back program. WA started this this year and they gave funds to schools um for very specific uses. Um the one that um I applied for and we received is a $600 um grant for from Stratford Sign Company. Um the link um that is there is the products that they um that we could use to spend our $600 on. Um, one of the things that we have talked about, um, when it comes to signage is new signs, uh, new banners for the conference schools
010in the gym. Um, I think on that link they wanted, I think it was $75 for like a 3x5 banner. Um, we would need 10 of them. So, if we have $600, you know, we'd have to come up with 150 plus some design fees and plus some shipping fees and we could get those banners almost almost paid for through this give back plan. So, that was kind of my thought uh on on that front um was to use those those funds for that for that purpose. So, um, one of the other things that we did talk about, uh, and I'm just bringing up at this time because it, you know, we're talking about signage for the gym, is that when we, when we were talking about the championship banners that we got put up, um,
011this winner was some way to recognize um, our teams that have advanced to either a state tournament or won at the state tournament or in one case an individual who won at the state tournament. So, uh, I have a list there, um, of all of our teams that have qualified for a state tournament. So, one of the routes that we could possibly take is a banner for each one of those nine teams or individuals that have represented our school at a state tournament. Um, or we could go the route of the um, individuals or teams that came back with some sort of hardware from the state tournament. Each school does it a little bit differently as to how they want to recognize those teams. So, it's I'm just throwing this out here for a discussion
012as to, you know, is there a direction that we want to go and doesn't need to be tonight by any means, but you know, it's something that we've got some time right now if we're going to do something like this to kick the tires on it. So, yeah. I guess some examples what you see other school doing just so we could see what they're doing. Yeah, I I I didn't take any pictures, but I was at Superior High School a couple weeks ago and and they recognized all of their teams that had made a state tournament, you know, and the they were very consistent. So, they, you know, they had their Spartan logo on it. They said this was the team, this was the year, this was the division. Were they just a state qualifier?
013Were they a state runner up? Were they a state champion? you know, and so, um, I I think we could create something like that that has some consistency to it where, um, we're listing all the important information. Obviously, the, um, state champion individual Ken listen, that's a little bit different because um, it's not a team, it's an individual, but we could probably whatever format we want to do it, we could probably craft something to include him for that as well. Um, I know another school, um, Melon, um, I don't think they've ever won anything at state, but they just have big banners that just say, you know, the teams that have made it to state. And I think Southshore is on that same line that any of the teams that made it to state, they're
014they have a lot of space, so they have giant banners with every person that was on the team and the managers. And I'm like I don't I don't think we need to go to those to those extents. But simp I think we can acknowledge those teams that have made it. So it's either right now three or nine depending on which which direction we we would want to go for them. Yeah. If you want to bring it uh I have something maybe some pictures or something if you can score. Okay. For our meeting in July on the 7th. Okay. We can do it at the the committee as a whole. Yeah. Take a look at them and then we can make a decision. I know I will not be here on the 7th, but I can
015I can I can get the the photos and you can kind of see what we're dealing with um and kind of go from from there if that's something that we want to want to be able to do. Sounds good. And whether we use Stratford sign for that um as well because we'll have a contact there or somebody else to do those pieces. I mean, that's a different, you know, doesn't doesn't really matter which direction we go, but I think it's a something that we could add to our gym. So, okay. The last thing is um we're already looking to fall, so we set the fall sports meeting date um for all of our fall athletes of Monday, August 4th at 7 o'clock at night. So, that's all I've got. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
016Principal's report. Yeah. So, updates and some recognition. So, you know, just congratulating our senior class. The ceremony went well. I mean, thought everything was smooth. Had a lot of great um collaboration and um help from our staff. So, that was huge. And again, our spring athletes and coaches, as you know, Nathan just kind of talked about. So, it was really fun watching the kids play and do things that they loved. Was able to make it down to the sectional um baseball game. So that was a lot of fun to watch. Um at the end of the school year, we completed a data day with our season 12 team. Um we identified areas of growth and student needs and we're going to further analyze this a little bit more and hopefully disseminate some of that information
017to our staff in the fall. So that's going to kind of guide our PLC process of where we need to go instructionally and just how we can reach all of our students. Um upcoming events. So, we have our summer school session that started today. Uh we have our Eagle Wings governance board retreat um June 30th and then our second um summer school session July 7th. Um and then just some upcoming work that we are looking at uh like I said analyzing our academic data dig information um submitting our AGR reporting and finalizing some of our current open positions that we have. Um, and then this week we're meeting with our face teacher um to go over some curriculum and what that will look like for the fall. And then looking at student and staff handbooks
018with our leadership team as well and just kind of fine-tuning some of that information. And then right now um final finalizing our our staff evaluations for the school year. Okay. Um, I want to just make one comment on the graduation. Um, I was in the sort of the general audience and I know our our sound system isn't the best, but we've got to, um, emphasize to anybody speaking, how do you, you know, get up to that microphone and use the people that did, you could hear them just fine. U, but there's others, I mean, you literally couldn't hear a word. Um, so maybe just as a pre-graduation, uh, you know, preparation, um, we just got to make sure that I think we mic. Yeah. Various heights because Well, no, what you need is one of
019those you need one of those mics that picks up at a distance. Okay. And you can get them it it's specifically for like a podium like that and it's it's not very big, but it can pick up a lot better. You can be away from it from, you know, three feet away and it still picks you up pretty good. Yeah. It's more like a directional like like this microphone here. Yeah. Yeah. And that was one thing we did not know about the the microphone use for sure. Yeah. Like you say, a couple speakers did speak in it. You can hear them just fine. Others nothing. Just zero. Yeah. It's, you know, just a matter of even it was hard even on stage on honestly to hear a couple of them. Well, when you're behind, it's
020a little more difficult songs going out, but Yeah. Anyway, that was it. Cool. All right, Pete, you're up. All right. Uh, so just a couple things that we have. Um, one thing that's been kind of circulating u with superintendents and some of the discussion at the state level is this act 12 reporting requirement. Uh, it was due to legislation that was passed in 20123 and it puts requirements on the school districts to report uh certain criminal activity that occurs on school grounds uh during events or not during events. Um, and part of it is is listed uh below. Uh, I think there's just a lot of concern um, especially if if you're getting news out of Minnesota, there's more and more uh, violent acts that are occurring on on school grounds and and I'm not
021exactly sure how they're going to use this data, but I I know they're collecting this data and it's a requirement for us, but um, so we'll we'll see where this goes. Uh but just want to make sure that that uh the board is aware of this requirement and and there's lots of discussion going on about what what's what are we supposed to do and what are the what's the guidance for it? How in depth are they asking about? I mean some of the stuff you can't really even give out. Right. Right. So I I will say the first round of reporting it it doesn't get into specific names but it gets into you know what what was the uh what was the um uh the criminal activity what time of day etc. So it didn't
022get into like who did what and who responded but it was more just trying to collect demographic data and information. So, all right. Uh, next one is the state legislation. Well, uh, things have been moving at a quick pace. When I put this together, uh, it was still sitting okay. Uh, but, uh, the FI joint finance committee, what they ended up doing with the special education funding is their agreement was to boost next year to 35% uh, reimbursement uh, for special education. And then the following year, the 2627 going to 37.5% reimbursement rate. So still nowhere close to that 60% that that we've been pushing. And I know that some of the statistics were saying that with surveys that um it was over 75% of people were thinking that the 60% was was fair and
023we should be getting that. But anyway, it's it's going up, but just not where we were thinking. And then when it comes to per pupil aid, uh the uh the joint finance committee did not approve any increases whatsoever. So it stays where it is. So um so yes uh so our state aid and state categorical aid is not seeing much of anything. So anyh who more to follow I guess um with the Mertz rookie golf scramble. Uh just a couple things of note. First, the date is set for September 20th, uh which is that third Saturday of the month. And then uh just also a as things have been transpiring with with new leadership and new administration uh met with uh Nathan and and I met with Aaron Swanson just to to go over what
024what are the expectations with with that fundraiser and how are we utilizing funds and and uh trying to establish better guidelines and objectives with with this utilization and just also getting a lot more transparent to uh to coaches as well as the community. So, um more information to follow on that. So, and then last one is that request for proposals. Uh I had three three businesses come in and uh take a tour and meet with me and uh really get a good idea of what we're looking for. And I anticipate that we're going to get those proposals back. Um I did have it ten uh tenatively slated for July 7th for interviews but uh we can certainly look at a different date uh if that's the case but I know this is going to come
025up very quickly um and our also our timeline with this it we don't have a whole lot of wiggle room uh if our objective is April. So, um I guess that would be something that we should take a look at too if we want to conduct those on the seventh. Okay. So, who's interviewing who? So, I I my recommendation would have the board interviewing these three companies. Okay. It just uh it it works out better for for the district and the board when when the board is involved with that. uh so they get a good feel of who we're going to move forward with uh and and get a better idea of h how those businesses operate. We want to make sure that we have have a good fit with with whoever is doing this.
026So yeah, I would say we could keep it for the seventh. I Well, I mean that's a committee of the whole, right? It it is a committee of the whole. The other thing is um that is when um the governance board has their meeting as well, but I can chat with them as well. Trying to condense stuff as much as we can. Um, and we can certainly set a time for whatever works for everyone. So, All right. No public comment. Now, I got the right thing. Uh, personal recommendation. We have one, two, three, four, five, six resations and hiring recommendation. Can I get a motion to approve? I'll make a motion. Second. All right. Any discussion on any of these? All right. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Uh there were no donations received at
027this point. Um, we need approval for WIA high school membership renewal. So, we yearly we need to uh renew our membership with WIAA and it's just that time. Just want to make sure that we are continuing on that course. Can I get a motion? All right. Second. Second. All in favor? I. Any oppose? All right. All right. Approval of personal sick and time allocations after breakin service recommendations. So ba based on our um uh discussion at the committee of the whole uh this is the verbiage that was drafted as a recommendation and can be altered. I want to make a proposal we go three years instead of five though. I don't want to go back that far. Three years or five years is a long time in my opinion. What I real think John, what
028do you think? Yeah, three probably is a little bit more reasonable. I mean, you're gone five years. That's that's a stretch. And I think that's what uh I think Mr. Ryder came up with that number, but um five seems like a long time, reasonable time if a mother takes time off to be with her. There's a maternity leave. That would be a family leave that and that's 12 weeks. So if if we're good with changing the verbiage to three years, we can make that recommendation that approval changes 5 years to three years. I just need somebody to make the motion. I make a motion changing it to three years. Second. All in favor? All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right. Board retreat planning. So, I didn't put anything in here. I know we had
029talked about it. That's a matter of develop developing that board retreat date. We're going to end of July. Right now we have a meeting on the 7th and the 21st of July. Uh we could do another Monday, the 28th, or is there a different work night that would maybe work for everybody else? 28th doesn't work for me. Okay. Any other night does than that last week? Yeah. John, what does your last week look like in uh July? Yeah, it's open. So That'd be good. Britney, how are you? Tuesday would be Tuesday. Good then. Let's do Tuesday then. Work for you. Okay. Um, Sunday night. Yep. Okay. Is there a specific time? Anytime after 5? Yeah, let's do the 6:00. Six. Okay. Sounds good. What's that date? It is the 29th. Somebody from Texas. Yes. Okay,
030sounds good. So, I will send out an invite and we'll uh make arrangements for the location as well. Okay. All right. Board of Education calendar, meeting calendar. I won't be here on the 27th for sure of October the days of September. Everything else looks good. The the uh one caveat to this is October 27th. We talked about this before. I would recommend that we push put this on here as well. That that is our annual meeting. We set that date. Yeah. Anyway, I won't be I'll be out of October 27. I'm hoping not to hit her again. Other than that, I don't see any latent issues for me. Once again, as we talked about it with April, that April to May turnaround is pretty quick and that all hinges around Easter, which is that first
031weekend of the month in April. So, it's a shorter meeting, right? something. All right, keep it as it stands. Can I get approval of the calendar? Motion for approval. Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right. Uh, policy updates, group one, first reading. We can approve or table it. just need a motion. Either way, I'll make the motion to approve, but I do want to reserve discussing one of them. Okay. Can I get a second? Second. Okay. And then for discussion, what do you want to discuss? Curriculum development. We talked a little bit about this one before and I don't know if you got any more information, Pete, as to why Neola's um suggesting we delete paragraph Q. Um I didn't get any additional information, John. Um it it it was the the initial
032piece was just taking out where it's delineating the specific uh cultural backgrounds and it's just making it straight up that um it it is recognizing all so because P has a specific Right. P is very specific because that that is uh due to act 31 within Wisconsin. Um so that that has to stay but the rest there's nothing specific to that. Uh the there is some question as far as Asian-American uh but nothing lawwise at this point in time. Well, since we're not bound by Neiola's edits, I would my preference would be we restore that. I mean, the teachers can still have the flexibility to uh address, you know, that subject matter as they see fit. But I just to eliminate it, I they don't have a good reason to eliminate it, then I don't
033I don't agree with that. I don't know if it's feasible to do some of that honestly because it's saying to do it at each level. So you're talking at every single level. Well, does that mean elementary, middle school, high school, or each? I don't know. It It does. It does mean every level. Well, it doesn't say grade level. I don't know what they're referring to when they say each level, right? It's when it's referring to level, it's referring to your elementary, your middle, and your high school, right? So, three times it would be addressed at some point in a in a school career. So, I don't know. I I just don't see the purpose of eliminating it. There's no there's no justification. There's no law that we're has changed. Um I think it's important to
034recognize contributions other than white Europeans. Um but others may feel different. Well, do you want to approve them all except for that one and bring that one back when it becomes something different or Well, either that or uh approve them all and just alter the curriculum one to not include the edits editing. out of paragraph Q. I mean, we don't we could table it and talk about it more for next month or anybody wants to proceed, but I I agree. So, I he if he wants to modify, he has to modify the motion and then be another second. You're going to modify it then. Yeah. Make a motion to modify the curriculum policy. So, as discussed, move strike out. Yep. And then you're going to second again. Second. Okay. All those in favor? I. Any
035opposed? All right. What about the um the start college now? It doesn't say in there the um the maximum credits that we will cover. I thought that was that in the handbook then that says that. So I thought it was 18. Where did we get the 18? I was told 18. 18 is the the minimum that the state says we have to cover. Well then I would just go by the minimum but I think we we had I remember previously we had That is our maximum that we cover. So then it wasn't have a spot there. You'd have to add it. What does this say in? So there it says right there. A student has already completed 18 and and that's what it's saying is you're you're right accept as follows. So if they've completed
03618 postsecary credits, they have to pay for it. Yeah. Gotcha. As many times as I looked at before. All right, moving on. Uh H sports pres participation in lie of PE credit. So, um, right now, uh, the only thing that was talking about in lie of is our, uh, student handbook. There's nothing in or not student handbook, but the course catalog. Course catalog. Thank you very much. Nothing in our handbook and nothing in policy. Uh, what I have here is a draft um from the talking about uh, this piece. we do not currently have it. So, it's something that uh we can say certainly take a look at and get some input if we want to push this to uh July. But I want to at least continue our discussion here. Okay. Because there there
037was varying thoughts on this that uh the in lie of could only be used by juniors and seniors. There's nothing saying that saying that well if it's u half credit for a sport or it's half credit for any. So, it's just trying to get some uh clarity on it and have a policy that backs up this and goes into our handbook as well. And then who would be technically saying they get the credit like who's following up that they actually follow through, right? you know, and and that that's all part of it that that there would have to be a requirement for um the coaches to sign off that they in did com they did in they did complete u participation uh and we can determine if it was just participation in the sport period
038if it was a varsity for that time. Um so there's many different options that we can take a look at. So athletic coach, athletic director and uh scheduling. So and has has an example from from a previous district that that could be utilized as form to track it, but it needs to come back to Did they say like you had to complete the season two? Correct. Yes. And then there's a portion on there like a question if you were injured. Um there was just more questions. Okay. Um that followed. So, um, yeah, that process, the coach had to sign off on it, athletic director had to sign off on it, and then the principal had to sign off on it as well. Okay. Yeah. Throw it into July. Okay. Bring back to July. Yep. All
039right. I'm going to convene into close session pursuit of Wisconsin statutes 19.851c A51C to consider the employment promotion compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employer over which this governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility at 6:40. I need a motion. I'll make a motion. Second, all in favor? I I any opposed? All right, we are in close session.
