005enlightening as far as things that that we need to improve upon and I and and this would be one because I I think having the the minutes from their meeting is it's a way I don't think it's as fruitful and productive as it can be and I'm hoping that we can uh impact this a little better in the future here so okay all right athletic director Nathan is not present but the report at the report winner Sports looks like girls basketball earned number one seat for the playoffs congratulations ladies all right they they did they did pretty well this year yes like really well I was really happy got coach the Year too yes that's correct mention that yes he was also to one of our teams and as we see for first time all

008this is the spring and May 1 so that will be on our April agenda so all right any other further questions all right that brings us to our principal's report and yeah um so prior to Spring Break um as we had briefly talked about uh March 14th we did kind of a PBIS Wellness day for all students and staff uh had a lot of different activities that kind of revolved around team building skills Wellness learning and just different agencies that we brought in for additional learning opportunities for students um Dustin Anderson our school counselor um had a lot of great I mean there was others as well um a lot of great connections uh with some agencies that he was able to bring in and so it's just really fun for the kids to experience
009something um that they may have not necessarily been exposed to um our next meeting um and Pete will talk a little bit more about this um about the Equitable multi level system of supports um and how it relates to our student referrals and offenses within the school setting and how and just kind of look at the the trends and patterns that we're seeing with some of our students um updates and recognitions um our elementary math and reading event uh I believe was March 7th it was yeah uh was very I mean had a lot of great feedback had a lot of um great attendance from our families I don't know Pete do you have the number off hand uh not specific but it was upwards of 70 people came in uh family members that came
010in and attended with uh with their kids which is phenomenal so I was I didn't get back in the cities chck so uh I'm I'm hoping that we can expand on that next year and and continue this so so you know great turnout not only from our families but just our local businesses being a part of that day as well um it was really fun to have them Jack and and we do have someone present that participated in this event and did a great job with it so it was good it was good um our ACT test testing went great um talking to some of the Juniors they felt they went really well for them um they really enjoyed having that space to just them and to focus so um a lot of good positive
011feedback um and when did they normally get their test results that so um I think my daughter got back within a few days now because it's all electronic right the the electronic test taking it it's a pretty quick turn around versus it it was be like a month or more yeah it usually took quite a while for for paper test that's result I assume that's a very personal or uh something that's personal to that in student School know the the school district does yes we we do get all the results for for students regardless of what state test they okay so um two things that I that are not on here but had found out for the weekend um Kelsey Ryder was is one of the top three finalists for the state um for the
012Pres presidential award for excellence in mathematics um so she has the opportunity to um she has to do I'm trying to remember off hand a few more steps to be recognized at the national level hopefully um so oh yeah Eagle flyer what's that I said it was an the eagle flyer it was it and then um Joan zo was also recognized as Northland teacher of the year so who how how do that come about someone nominator or theyan or yes so with with both of them there there was a uh a nomination I I was not aware of of the uh national teacher um for mathematics and science that was our our cesa um uh math coach that that uh nominated her for it and she accepted it because that it was pretty lengthy process
013where she had to um record her giving instruction and and a number of other things as well as written materials and whatnot so uh it was a pretty lengthy process and now she's pulling in more data to to uh further enhance her her uh teaching uh abilities and the progress and and whatnot of her students so so that's kind of cool and likewise with with the uh Northland teacher um that was that was a uh nomination as well so so was Northland Douglas County from here to Eagle River actually no it it's it's actually through wdi so she'll she will be a TV star here in the near future so they're coming out on Wednesday to interviewer her and yeah but they they didn't I mean WDIO is not selecting are they uh it's it's
014through them so so I'm not sure who who was all involved in it but I I know they they promote it so okay great so it's awesome and and there's there's some I forget where the funds come back but anyway there's there's goodies that go with it so I'm sure she's very happy to get is she is so that's a good thing amaz you'll get her to get in front of a camera or anything she she's a little nervous already but that's all right that's all right so well deserved absolutely um and then just upcoming we're kind of in the thick of our state testing right now um State and district testing so we have a lot of that coming up uh this month and next month our senior and you can see on our
015upcoming events um our preac test that's for our freshman and sophomores that's this Friday and then starting next week is our forward testing with some of our lower grades middle school and our sophomores and is that what that data is what goes into the state report card yep um our third quarter is coming to an end here soon um we have some music um events coming up in the near future as well and then we're just continuing our work on schedules for next year um we have been conducting interviews for our face position and then um upcoming is our 4kk Roundup that will um get here on the calendar soon so kind of my update all right well done any questions for all right brings us on to our super report all right first things
016first so bus powered by LP getting an update so uh we had gotten quotes and actually um we we have it laid out as far as uh what we're looking at it's a bus with under um uh underneath storage on both sides so it can be utilized not only for classroom but uh getting an agreement with the regular board and the governance board to use that for uh Sports uh would be wise as well um nice thing about LP once again Lower operational cost and and the maintenance is less as well and the fact that feral gas uh is willing to install that filling station on their location free of charge to us so that's that's feelings free but the feelings are we got to take care of the fuel but the fueling station itself
017that's that yeah so so is that something like our bus drivers will be able to fuel them yes they they will get trained on how to do that okay I just want to make sure we the training set up the fueling station and then we they can just go down there and do it no different when they go to a gas station so it's a win-win for every one of us so is this an extra bus is it a bus to replace a bus it is it will eventually replace a bus yes and then will will be used on a route it will not be used us on a it will not be used on a r simply because it it is being purchased through the grant through our our Charter board and that's where
018I'm saying it can be utilized to transport um the charter but then if we have that agreement we can use that for other purposes of here as well okay because and this is always stuck in my craw the the you know they purchased the canoes but the it can be used only for chars so this is not going to be restricted in the same way way we will come up with that agreement on how we use this okay and that that would be agreement between the regular board and the charter board yeah so okay yeah because we're going to be maintaining it as our School cor so we'll have a cost to it so I have a feeling that that's what walk around about work around for it and do we have a ballpark price
019on this why uh yes we do and actually it has to move forward uh with a they have the preliminary contract coming to us because April 1st the price will go up due to tariff changes so uh they contacted me today just saying can we send you a preliminary be a Canadian bus or something well there's there's supplies and stuff that go to yes so American made dish machines are going up 5 to 7% so any who um yeah I I will have that for you in uh during our committee of the whole meeting but it's right where where we anticipated where where the expense was money yeah so it was it was uh the increase was roughly 7 to $10,000 if I remember correctly from now versus April 1st as so so it was
020good to try to lock stuff in so any who that's where we're at with this um next item that Equitable multi-tiered level system of support s em LSS uh just trying to provide more clarity on that decisionmaking process so uh th this establishes that framework with uh on how we determine students that need interventions or intensive interventions and it really guides our work and and and uh provides that framework on how we make those decisions Who's involved in making those decisions and and what's the process to to evaluate whether they're making progress or not a and then also uh if we have to move to a referral for special education that's a must we have to have something very clear in this process so that's what we're trying to set this is a at least
021to me a fairly new term I mean is this a new program and and so what were we doing before E emss that is a very good question because uh uh it it wasn't around when I first started tion but it first came out as as RTI or response to interventions and then it went to mtss which is multi- tiered system of supports to so a continuation of something I I think we've landed on this now and it's not moving anywhere so but it it it's the same stuff come on we want to add another letter don't we trying anyway but but um no thanks we we had some system in place but we're really solidifying and this is where it came came into uh establishing a very set schedule in our elementary so we
022have if you guys look at it it's called wi time what I need is what wi refers to and that's the time that we're providing some of these interventions and being very intentional in it where we didn't NE we went through that period where it was just kind of murky so just being very deliberate and and getting our our schedules and our framework all set to provide students what so used to be whip inflation now but that's yeah it'll be old to know that one right no fair enough fair enough don't know what you're talking about right there you go anyal check so uh next one is a career in technical education um so just referring to uh this item I know uh Jen mlin and I attended the planning for the 25 26 school
023year kind of crazy and um it was just reviewing our classes and what what are some of the ways that we can provide uh credits for towards that CTE tracking or career in technical education when I when I say CTE that's just referring to and it's very specific because there there are funds that come back to that uh and that's through our um Perkins Grant right now as a district we we get very little simply because we haven't tracked things well and have the courses available for them uh but looking at what what we provide and how we can track it better if if we're talking about metals and Welding woodworking CNC and drafting we've talked about some of those possibilities and partnering with Northwood Tech and providing some of that uh CNA and Medical
024classes that also uh can be uh part of that uh track and then one thing that we're looking at trying to expand on is engineering and Robotics I know that uh Colin weida is really uh express interest in robotics and uh th this could expand into a collaboration with um both our our U industrial Tech or or shop classes as well as uh other classes to do coding electronics and Fabrication which then can lead in to um actual participation well I I would say can we do most of that with the positions we have on hand I think so but but where I'm getting with this it provides learning opportunities but then it also provides extracurricular opportunities because there are um entities around us that participate in robotics competitions are we doing anything in robotics
025now very very limited and what we have is outdated and that's that's I I know that Colin submitted for a grant to try to uh get funds to replace that we didn't get it but we're we're going to explore ways on how we can make this happen me that seems like that' be something that would be right to collaborate with Northland Tech or something right no you're you're you're exactly right so there there are many different ways that we can look at this uh whether it's Northwood Tech um or or other entities so any and moving on this kind of goes hand inhand with it youth apprenticeship uh next year we're we're we're going to be moving with uh Olivia dashel who is the cce2 uh representative for youth apprenticeship uh to bolster our participation
026because with with a youth apprenticeship every student that participates in it there are funds that go with that as well and it really helps not not just the district it helps the students then it also helps businesses because those students can actually get out uh get um training or or job experience in career fields that they want to explore so how does that work if the employer wants to have an apprentice how do they be contact this Olivia is that how it works so so Olivia will be working with us in in developing those contacts and building these opportunities that's for next year she she is starting she's already started dialog with us um but we we we couldn't make a move before the end of the school year simply because there's there there are
027Grant funds and contractual things tied to this so we we were previously with with Northwood seep just wasn't working out in the way we wanted as far as building a program um versus I think Olivia dashel will uh she's worked with a number of schools within CA 12 and they've seen dramatic increases in student participation in those areas which then increases the amount of funds coming back for the school district to fall into this program I'm just wondering so my my company's looking for interns this summer so that's why I how do we get signed up CH we work on that okay all right Perfect all right last but not least I I know this is crazy stuff that's going on out there uh just with the Department of Education and just understanding that you
028know the Department of Education what what do we get from that there there are funds that that are tied to uh the Department of Education uh that we receive that's your Eda funds for special education Title One funds or any of your title funds uh which are are designated for schools that have uh um underserved students IE students um and low social economic status and then also Perkins grants which ties into that Career and Technical education okay um the the main thing is just understanding that that there there are different things tied to the Department of Education and where where it comes back to is reaching out to congressman and and uh those leaders and understanding what what are they trying to achieve or what what are they going what step steps are they going
029to take in this process because it's not just it's not just our president making determinations there's also the requirement from our Congress uh because there are statutes in law that that designate these these agencies to exist so you know it it takes all of them to kind of work together in this so reaching out and just explo voicing the concern as a district that you know lots of these funds can have a have a major impa and just trying to understand what are they looking at as far as moving forward so anyway and my whole point is just highlighting that there there's there's some ramifications for the district with this so okay all right all right and last but not least school board and superintendent Retreat I left that there for you P out by
030CE at 12 it's going to be a wonderful event in Hayward I'm just wondering if you guys want to participate in it we'll have to know here in the near future so are you planning on attending or is it just board or is it board and superintendent yes I I would I would have to come with you guys I'm not sh though I will go yeah I think I'll go I go to Just because yeah the curriculum things what I like to yeah I I think there's some good topics uh that that are going to be brought up there so okay and and so I'll I'll tly mark the the two of you and then if anyone else wants to attend you know please let me know okay uh we've got a little bit of
031time there so that is it always up for5 any other questions for meat all right that brings us on public comment Al nothing all right okay personal recommendations there is nothing there for personal recommendation nothing for personnel recommendations and nothing for donations at this point so okay the donations uh certified employee compensation okay all right uh based on on our discussion at the committee of the whole I have put together a uh recommendation is the uh the staff payroll correction teacher payors of service proposal is that one it's taking a look at where our current staff is in relation to the uh pay scale that I have set up on the staff payroll list 2425 pay scale which is the recommendation so two different things here but taking a look at the pay in years
032of service it's just comparing where our current staff is projection wise and based on that schedule where where they should come out if you look at those graphs uh individuals with Masters it comes out pretty evenly uh and with bachelor's degree there there's for the most part it's pretty well spot on so some of these look like a reduction in it it is not no it's it's all increases but what it is is based off from the pay scale that I'm that I put in the other because we talked about certified staff recommendation pay scale for new hires and what I did is compared this to what our current staff is okay just to get a relation does it would be not that person that's just a comparison it would be right new person coming
033in would be at some of them at a reduced rate based on so it was it was a two-prong thing I wanted to develop a pay scale that kind of matched up with where our current staff are yeah and looking at that long term and then pulling that back and saying this is my recommendation when we look at new hires and go through that process what we talked about is taking into account education but then if if that person has more than five years of service we're only going up to five but then if if we can't come to an agreement that anything beyond that would require the board president approval on this so on the graph yeah you have like to the right of projected you have a number of x's and I I
034I couldn't figure out what that was supposed to so so the those were just placing where where people were so that's the data you made the graph with I'm just being transparent with all the information and data that I used there's more X's underneath the graph you just can't see them yeah because the graph's on top of it so oh I get it sorry I took a snapshot of of spreadsheets I love spreadsheets I can develop all kinds of graphs and whatnot so and that that was the whole thing was taking a look at where where our current staff are going to be this following year and and the projections based on that scale that I produced and that's what those Grant okay so not not to to not use names or so on the
035first line yeah we've got a person with 6 and a half years with a ba right and and under the current that is the current salary for that person now this next year this next year based on next year yeah but if we HED someone brand new with the same they'd be on the upper scale that's correct okay so there are little nuances here that we have and that that's why I want to get something very clean it's a sync right so I mean I were a person on line one and I knew my salary and I knew the person you were hiring knew that also had 6 and 1/2 years and and I'd say well this person is making $3,000 more than I am and I would say Mr superintendent can you explain to
036me why you're paying somebody new right new to the district more yeah and that that's that's a hard one to answer because what what do we have to fall back on you know all we can do is based on these recommendations and and your experience the the other things that that we have to to to take into consideration was what what are the positions that we're trying to fill to so that I mean it all plays in but trying to have a basis of making a decision is is where I was going with this okay okay any other further questions all right Early College credit Sor oh go ahead uh I'm just um theor I make a motion of the approval of hir and pay guidelines in the CIP increase or CPI increase I'd love
037to Second it but I I I just don't and I know we've talked about this and I'm really not a numbers person but I just want to make sure we got some equity in here it it just seems like it's I look at the the so I I I Don't Know Jack yeah and once again coming back to the committee the whole the the the big thing that that I had to step back on is just getting to hiring practice and once again th this scale is for hiring practice only at this point in time that doesn't mean our discussion on trying to balance out where our staff is in the future is done yeah okay got well are are but so if we approve this is this is this is your sort of starting
038point with salary or I mean are you restricted by it we we are not it it's it is a device for us to use in that decision-making process when we're trying to bring on a new hire okay that is true the end all right and and and the reason why I was comparing it for our staff is is trying to make sure it lines up as best as possible yeah all right so so that helps because when I look at it yeah well technically now we do the discussion so but that makes that clarifi it took me a little bit Che CU When I look at it some people were grossly underpaying and some if we're look looking at the the next scale is the sort of the Baseline to that that is a and
039that that's exactly why I step back saying this is a far more challenging topic to try to tackle with our current staff but trying to make it as Equitable as possible when we bring in new people that that is truly it at this point yeah okay yeah I I don't have any other question it just right now to me it's giving a baseline compared to what we were kind of doing in the past was we were kind of spitballing on the wall when we were brought brought some new people in you know I won't deny that so this is least a baseline that gives everyone okay we're going to bring you in but this is like our point you know we can't just you know how do I put this I think you and I
040have this some newer people walking in saying I demand this amount of money and it's like are you what we're not even paying that to these is right we hire someone under this new sort of you know scale guideline and incumbants are going to be like well why don't why don't you pay me that that's what you think a person with 25 years is worth MH and then and that's and that's it is a it's giving some guidance but then it's also putting that decision making in into into the hands of the board and it's not I yeah you know so that's that's where I wanted to go with this as well okay and that's that's a better thing is well I know what I would do if I were did your yeah okay all
041in favor hi all those oppos okay motion passes okay early college credit college now were these like just lost or something I no they they came they came in so that that was was some confusion is that March yeah I had them for for the committee of the whole they have to be brought into the district by March 1st and then we approve them at that point in time so these did make it prior to that March 1st which was right after our last meeting so did we we already approved these didn't we we did not we did not okay we did not okay sorry second okay Brad and and Ben all in favor I I okay opposed motion passes okay business class grad requirements now this was in L the home or whatever right
042uh it is not it was just taking it out as far as a requirement to have a business class cuz right right now that is the case so is this old freshman sophomore junior senior is that what we currently have that is correct so I I was looking at so where where is the business it is uh down just a little bit um it is uh beginning with students graduating 2022 the equivalent of 0.5 half Credit Credit business/ Compu application is required okay so at some point we're are we dra we drafting this handbook or yes okay because it still has the 80 hour thing too that that is correct yeah so have a motion I'll make the motion okay John second okay Ben in favor I I I okay ad hoc maintenance committee oh
043motion passes all right ad hoc maintenance committee recommendations we looked at this I yeah I think we've looked at this we did and the yellow are the priorities are the priorities uh for funding I make the motion to approve the recommended maintenance projects for 2025 2026 I'll I'll second okay Brad and John all those in favor I I all opposed motion passes for the ad hoc maintenance committee and as as we have funds available in our maintenance plan yet this year budget uh we will try to knock off as much as we can in that budget this year so so is the dishwasher going to be contingent upon receiving the grant or if we get it great if we don't we're we're planning for it period so okay and we're budgetarily we're sitting okay we
044we've chatted about that if they month so okay when is that this all over summer so so the the the grant has two levels and uh we should have we should have knowledge of the second level before May okay and that was a USDA it was a USDA first level already what's that first level's already passed then yes we we submitted the Grant in for the first level and it goes through because this is as money as available so it apparently it's not a guarantee but we we are at least on the list and try and get those funds so okay okay all right out standing balances daycare and Food Service all right I think uh just looking at this one against the recommendation is uh pursuing different options to uh take care of outstanding
045daycare bills that's one thing uh but then one our with our food service bills um I I think getting after making continual contact with those families to fill out applications for free and reduced is our best bet uh because trying to pursue something in that area might be sensitive I don't know if that's the direction the board wants to go plus I think in the past we've had a donor cover some you you are correct we we have had a number of donations over the past couple years that have taken care of some of these food balances which is nice but it still doesn't mean that right shouldn't be trying to pursue this absolutely El to get the fre review right I'll make the motion recommend or the approval of recommendations move forward withing okay
046Brad and John all right all those in favor I I all those opposed motion passes okay three and three basketball fundraiser okay I I know this uh this was not on the committee the whole uh but it is a uh very similar or it's basically the same thing that we had done last year uh it was a huge success uh for funding with our uh wolf frge experience so and can you remind at least me what w fridge is sure it it's a uh environmental learning area or not area but environmental Learning Center it's uh up past eely so it's it's out there I've been there it's it's a great experience uh the uh students learn about environmental stuff as well as um uh some of the traditions of of fur Traders and whatnot so
047they get out on the old style canoe and they yeah there's a lot of lot of great experiences there so any I'll make the motion to approve the funder for okay Brad and second John all right all those in favor I all those opposed motion passes okay last but not least H all of honor and this is just acknowledgement we had our two mention those so the two were Bob Smith and Nathan Albert so I think what we're supposed to just notify the board and anybody has any when is that are they doing that dinner again April 11th that is correct the 11th so and we have the uh uh the band providing some entertainment during this event as well and I'm hoping to expand that a little bit in some of my travels I
048might have seen something kind of like a a cabaret or Jazz thing just to Spruce spruce up stuff so anyway I think we can go in a few different directions with this so like Nathan's third time nominated finally got is it yes my time a chart good I'm glad somebody didn't give up I'll make the motion we convenient to close session for student of Wisconsin sat 18 or 19.85% jurdic or exess exercises responsibility second all right Brad and Ben all in favor hi okay short break yes please Bob Smith holy cow I hope he makes it yeah I hope he makes it though oh how he I mean I have't we are camera I haven't seen him lately honest I driving last time I saw was at the last boys home game I think good
