001Board of Education. Miss Darmmo. Will you call the role? Mr. Tim Buban here. Miss Mia Croyle. Uh, Mr. Jim Moser here. Miss Don Garcia is excused. Mr. Zach Masa is excused. Miss Lisa Pew here. Miss Allison Sorg here. Dr. Sharon Milin Bartlett here. Michaela Becker here and President Patterson here. All right. Item 2 A is public comment. Seeing no members of the public in attendance at the meeting tonight and verifying that there was no previous public comment sent via email. We will move on to item 2B, the legislative update. The 202527 bianial budget was signed into law by Governor Ivers on July 3rd. What this means for public schools is the one of the big things special education reimbursement was raised to an estimated 45% by the second year. The current reimbursement rate is right
002around 30%. So this is a pretty big boost. Um it is some certain. We've talked about some certain and some sufficient. We had asked for some sufficient which means there'd be enough money to make sure it got to 45% but instead the budget has it at some certain which means it's really dependent upon how much um special education uh is build to the state and then the money is dispersed in that manner. So, um, what Erica said to me is, um, if it, if the aid reimbursement would actually hit 42%, what's it what it's expected to do in the first year, it would be an estimated increase of about 775,000 for us next year. Uh, like I said, the current reimbursement rate is right around 30.6%. Um, it was supposed to be 33%. Uh so
003if if that the estimated percentage of reimbursement falls about 3% uh for us next year we would get about 570,000 versus the 775,000. That's the difference between some sufficient and some certain. Um high-cost special education also was increased to be at about 90%. That's for um students who reach a certain amount of uh special education services. There was also a one-time $30 million added for mental health supports. Uh $40 million in early literacy funding that had been appropriated in the last budget has finally been released. There's also full funding of the office of school safety um and minimal increases in uh transportation aid. The general per pupil aid was not increased at all. Uh uh education advocates say this is actually unprecedented. Uh even during the der the deep cuts to education in 2011, there
004was a slight bump in that general aid, but not this year. Uh according to DPI estimates, about 66% of school districts will be receiving less state aid next year. Um, according to DPI, our school district is estimated to receive uh nearly 14% less in general aid funding in the 2526 school year as compared to the 20 24 25 school year. Um, another thing to keep in mind is that um we will have to make up the difference in the property tax levy. Also, uh you remember the governor's veto uh from the last budget created an increase of $325 per pupil. And because there was no increase by the legislature in general student aid, that increase will have to be funded completely um by the property tax levy. So, it's possible that there'll be a sizable
005tax levy hike for our school district this year. Um, let's see what else. DWD or Department of Workforce Development Youth Apprenticeships. We've talked about apprenticeships here and our desire to uh expand them. Uh, got an increase of $6 million in the budget. There also some increases in child care funding which are really important uh to our child care providers. Uh, 330 million um about 120 110 million of that will go to direct payments to child care providers. Um the schoolboard association made the following statement about the budget saying that although uh the compromise what uh provided some good resources to public schools, there were a lot of issues that were unressed in the budget that will make this coming year challenging for schoolboard school leaders and that they will be continuing to advocate with the
006governor and the legislature to build more a more robust school funding system for all students. Um there is now that the budget is signed, uh legislators are kind of taking a little break over the summer, but they'll be back in September for a floor session. That means that's again when when bills will will be introduced on the floor. Uh WASBY suggests that it's really important now that the budget's over for schoolboard members to thank their legislators for the resources to public schools that came in the budget before talking about like additional challenges faced by schools. So something we could talk about would be sending um a thank you message to our local representatives. Um so the next floor session I mentioned starts in September. The it's from September 2nd to 11th. So, right after Labor
007Day, the schoolboard association says some uh issues to look forward to that have been already talked about by the legislature. In some cases, there are some bills that are already written and ready to be, you know, discussed are around staffing shortages. Uh specifically, uh some ways to ease regulations that make it difficult for retirees to return to working in education. Also some talk about referendum restrictions. Uh given that the budget included a zero general aid increase, it's very likely that we'll be seeing more operational referendums around the state and some legislators are trying to find ways to um stop that from happening uh without giving new funding to public schools. Uh private charter school funding uh also will be an issue of discussion. We've talked about decoupling. So there's this issue of wanting to change
008the way private and uh voucher schools are funded and separate that from the public school funding system. Also they anticipate talk that there will be more mandates that are proposed to uh be put on the public school system. A little bit on the federal side. On July 15th, Wisconsin joined a multi-state lawsuit that challenges the uh US Department of Education's decision to withhold federal funding from states that they're withholding about $72 million in funding from Wisconsin. in particular that impacts funding for migrant education uh programs in title two for supporting effective instruction, English language acquisition, student support and 21st century community learning centers. Some of these items have been on the news and I know that Diana has talked about there are some of these items that do impact us. Um, in many of these
009cases, both public and private schools along with DPI have already budgeted and have made hiring decisions for this funding because it was funding that was appropriated and approved by Congress. So, thus the lawsuit that's challenging that. Overall, there is um a lot of federal funding uncertainty. Um, the school boards association says there's a potential for an 11% loss in federal funding to Wisconsin schools overall, but I don't think we know that amount for sure. So, sorry, I don't have a lot of great news, but the budget passed. So, so that's good. Yes, at least we know now what we're not going to get, right? Are there any questions for Lisa? I have a quick question. Do you know if the Office of School Safety is at Department of Justice or DPI? you know, it's in
010the Department of Justice. Yes. Okay. Yes. Um, seeing no questions online or in the room, we can move on. Thank you. We can move on to workg groupoup reports. Um, no workg groups have met since our last meeting. So, that takes us to 2D, student representative report. All right. So, there's not much going on since it's summer, but I focused on some things that I haven't had the chance to talk about since they were earlier in June here. Um, so for summer school, um, students were able to participate in a variety of fun classes like geocatching, sports and games, and dancing during this year's summer excel. And then some of the high school students were able to help teach classes. So, that's a cool experience for a lot of them. I know people who have
011been doing it for like three years. Um yeah, it included some pictures of some of their classes and then music. So the marching band had their band camp last week and they are preparing their routine that they'll perform this fall at some of our football games and then also at um marching band competitions which they just started doing about last year. So they're excited for that. And then also in earlier this summer, um, students Teddy Chos from orchestra and Addison Murphy for choir were able to attend WSMA state honors camp and that was held at W Oaklair. And then that state honors is like an auditioned ensemble to be a part of. So, it's very cool that they're both in that. Um, and then for athletics, cross country has been having a lot of captain's
012practices throughout the summer, going on runs throughout our community. So the picture I showed is when they went on a run to Fosduls and then got donuts afterwards. Um and then one of our um students on the dance team, Brilland Bratz, had the opportunity to um be in the WBCA games as a part of the All State team for dance. And then soccer started their um contact days today and then football started their contact days last week and then this week they'll be practicing with McFarland as well. Yeah. And that's pretty much all I have. Nice. Does anyone have any questions for Michaela? They'll enjoy the heat. Yeah. I mean, I work inside all day, so I've been I've been okay. All right. Thank you. Uh we're going to move on then to item three,
013district administrators report. All right, good evening. I've got three slides. Uh first I put in um board docs uh an additional uh newsletter from Stark. Um Stark put out its summer newsletter and wanted to highlight um the ongoing positive partnership we have with Stark. start as um help support um several households, but I'm highlighting specifically the 116 households that impact 171 children. Um some of them they've been able to successfully transition to stable housing. Um which is a plus. We know that when families have stable housing, all sorts of benefits come from that including um better attendance, more stable attendance for um school age children and um 14 children were impacted by um that transition and health does fundraisers throughout the year. Um those fundraisers are both uh fiscal fundraisers but also material fundraisers. So
014um if you see um news um in the in the hub or on social media for for um fundraisers that SAR is doing know that um they work closely with our social workers within the district so that um those supports go directly to our student has also worked um in collaboration both with the district and the city um the juveninal court system to help provide more wraparound ated care um for students mainly targeting truency um and this is um trying to help work with the whole family and not just focusing on um the attendance because sometimes attendance is just the symptom of a much deeper rooted issue. So again sometimes it is unstable housing or lack of stable housing um sometimes it may be um other factors and start adds additional resources um to that
015conversation. So, want to highlight um that please take a look at the newsletter um and keep that keep them in mind um when you start to see some of the things on social media throughout the year. Um also kind of dovtailing off Michaela's um my battery died. um presentation uh summer excel we had 402 students we had um fully staff so we're excited to have our interns again um as Muel said um some doing this for three years so this has been uh huge positive um feedback from both our high school interns and from our students and families so we're excited for that and then just augmenting We had some new classes in art and music, movement and music, and our libraries uh checked out a record number 1458 books. We were slightly down from
016our trend last year, and we not only exceeded last year, but we've exceeded all the prior years recently. And last but not least, um over the shortly after the school year got over and summer school was over, we brought together a group um to interview candidates for the SRO um assignment. And one of those candidates was Dr. Orin, who ended up being selected um by the chief chief JS. And so we are meeting next week with um the principles and um Kyle, myself to uh work with officer Orin on developing a schedule and then look for opportunity for bringing those up bringing Officer Orin in front of the board. So once we have that calendar finalized, um you'll see the board calendar updated to reflect when we'll go presentations to the it. Okay. Does anyone
017have any questions for Dan about his report? Lisa, how do how do students or families get referred to start? Like is that through like the guidance counselors? How does a student who might be experiencing homelessness or whatever get on the radar and get coordinated? What does it look like? Uh multiple different ways. So it can a referral can come through our school district through the student services. So social workers, counselors, I see that. Um and um families can reach directly out to start. So they don't have to get a referral through the district. families can reach directly out to start themselves and we regularly make families aware that the start resources exist. Yeah, we we um share our communications back and forth. So, um, if families have questions, sometimes we'll refer them directly to Start
018for help because Start does have some grant funding that they've done that really helps to work with um, particularly uh, stable housing. So, working with uh, landlords to stabilize rent and maybe have some agreements and help to help families to augment um, for a short period of time. Sometimes it's access to um resources. Um they have housing but they may be stretching their dollars. So sometimes start will help with some resources in other ways. Thank you. Y I see your hand me up. Thank you. Um I have a couple questions you hold on one second. We know. I mean, I guess we going to need you to talk so we can tell if we can hear you or not. Yeah. Can you hear me now? Let's see. Still can't hear you. Is that better? They're
019working on it. Is this better? I don't know if it's on my end or your end. You look like you're very passionately talking about something. We just don't know what that is. Mia, I Yeah, she's singing. I'm pretty sure. Sh karaoke. Okay. Uh oh, Cassie says she can hear me online, so it must be an issue. She hears her online. Oh, Cassie can hear in your room, Dan and Rachel. Huh? But we just can't hear her in the room. That's okay. Did you like that, Cassie? I did like that. They probably can't hear me either if they can't hear you. I thought that was great. I wonder. I wonder if we can hear Cassie. Can't hear either one. No. Okay. On our end. Okay. Yeah. No, Mia is confirming that Cassie must have been talking.
020It's on our end. And here. All right. Try now. Now. Can you hear me now? No. No. No, I can't. He's probably got it needed, though. Do you want to try and talk? Uh, now you Yay. She forgot what she wanted to say. No, I I took notes because I because my brain is mush. Um, I actually have a couple questions. Um, the first is not a question, but just a comment for my fellow board members. In the attached uh start document that Dan attached uh to board docs, there is the start wish list. So, you may not think of things like body wash, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner as back to school items, but uh for some kids they really are. And so there's both an Amazon list that you can order from. They make it
021really easy. It gets shipped directly to Start or there's a list of items that um you can drop off at Start. Um or if you have any questions, you can drop them off with me and I'll get them to start. Um so I would just encourage people as you see some of those things on sale, pick up a few or grab an extra when you're grabbing one. Um, one question Dan regarding the SRO. Thank you for working to schedule a time for him to come and meet with the board. I have a question about some of the things like the data collection um that we spoke about happening. That's not necessarily his work to do. It's our work or the district's work. is is progress being made on those things like the pieces of data
022that we want him to be collecting because I'm just a little anxious about it because if it's not in place right at the beginning of the year we won't have a complete set of data. Yes. So can you update us on that? Yes. So, we're waiting now that we've selected the SRO, we're looking at ha u building that calendar and having all those conversations. So, we want to be able to have that done here and knowing that it'll be the end of July and we'll have some time after that to um take a look and then as we've talked about with climate and culture using last year's data once we figure out what we want to measure as a baseline so that way we can measure moving forward. Okay. Um and then my third question
023is about summer excel. I think it was two years ago when Aaron was transitioning um leadership of that program to Jeff. We had a presentation. It may have been I don't Yeah. Um and she spoke a little bit about some of the disparities in terms of the demographics of who was participating in summer excel. And I'm just wondering if they're continuing to look at that and if we can get any sort of an update on that. I'll check in with um Jeff and then we can bring get that information so we we've got that built off of the past conversation so we can recreate that and see trends over time. Okay. Thank you. Yep. Okay. Are there any other questions for Dan? You just one quick followup uh for either Mia or Dan. I is
024the start office there. 135 West Main Sweet 102. Is that that's in the Anderson Plaza building? Is that correct? So, do they take you could just drop off donations right there? Do they take them right there at that office location? Do you know? I believe they do. They do. Okay, that was my question. Thank you. It did actually say that in the newsletter because I that same question and it says in the newsletter you can take things there. Okay. Okay. Any other questions? Dan, seeing none, we can move on to the consent agenda. Move approval of the June 16th 20 Oh, sorry. Move approval of the consent agenda as presented. Second. Seconded by Bubon. any discussion. Um I did have one thing the um the fund balance moving things to fund 10 it said. So
025um those were things after June 30th and sorry could you just kind of explain what's going where? Sorry Erica. So, we had a number of items. We've had this happen before. I will honestly say that this is probably the most I've experienced like ever, which is weird because we ran into this a lot around COVID when we had supply chain issues. So, in order for us to um expense an item within the current year budget, it has to be received and on site by June 30th. And the cost is incurred at that point in time. if it's not here before June 30th, we can't expense it in the current year budget. It's all stuff that we had budgeted for and ordered. And when we ordered everything, we were assured that we would have it here
026timely, but it it isn't. So essentially what that means is it's not going to if we unless we cancel it. Um the expense won't happen in the 2425 budget, which means we then have to put it in 2526 budget. And there may be departments or buildings that didn't plan for that expense in this year's budget because we're we're in 2526 now. So essentially what this does is says we know that we are going to underspend our budget for these items which will essentially make our fund balance go up. But what this does it basically says of that fund balance we're going to assign a portion of it for these costs. So next year we will overspend essentially and then reduce that assigned fund balance. So, it's really just allowing us to not take that cost
027out of next year's budget or have to cancel those orders. We did a I know the one that sticks out in my mind was like a lawn mower that we had that was delayed like 18 months or something right around COVID time when we had so many um supply chain issues. I remember that too. Um and yeah, for whatever reason um and I'll and I'll own some of it. I think we had some we had some babies born in my department this year. So, we were a little bit short and you know, some of our followup with some of our vendors maybe just fell behind a little, but yeah, we just had a number of things that didn't didn't get here like they were promised. So, we were hoping that we could not have to
028cancel those things. Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for your explanation. No problem. Any other questions or discussion around the consent agenda, Sharon? This might be a Kate question. I was wondering about G the academic standards and there's a lot there. I just wondered if anybody familiar with it can speak to like you know really quickly these are sort of things that might have changed or you know the highlights um any commentary you could offer about that. So by by fleet law um the first board meeting in July so usually first board meeting but we cancel that one so it get moved to this one. Every school district has to approve the standards by which they are building their curriculum um off the foundation of these have been our standards for many many years and
029um they have not made any significant changes to the standards in quite a number of years. They have a cadence by which they have done things. Sometimes they follow them, sometimes they don't. Um so we approve them every year. they get placed on our on our website so that people can can reference them. Um but then they just become the foundation foundational things from which we build up our Well, I have another question related to you but not about the standards. I guess one item that you will certainly see next July. [Music] So it might be true that we would put that before we commit to involving all of our stakeholders that work this summer. That's done in um will just so that we can make sure that All right, go. In the fun balance,
030there's the purchase of the arts and letters curriculum. How how is that curriculum tied with wit and wisdom and how is it aligned with our literacy goal? And it really is an augmentation of wisdom and our team. Um and you know we we were satisfied in some way with our curriculum and of course and all of our learners are flourishing and reading and meeting proficiency in all areas. will always continue to be looking for a better way to meet those we are learning. Um and of course we also maint [Music] the publisher offered a more recent updated version of written wisdom and called us and our staff members took a look at it. I think we initially our administrator um really thought about it including including me um thought about it from the lens of
031the um the but also some of the concerns that we had and our leaders really took a look at what [Music] we the was supporting our very high impact teaching and we really felt like everyone could go further and when we took a look at the additions for the changes that were made in arts and letters we felt like this would be a better match for um so we've begun some training in the summer particularly at the middle school um and with some of our educators and all of our educators who support So, we're very excited um about this opportunity and much of what we really appreciated and value about written is in art and letters um and also in terms of teacher usability structure of the curriculum um is also largely the same with
032some improvement as we would expect for that Mia, you have a question. Yeah, but it's not related to that. So, is that question resolved? I believe so. Yes. Okay. I was just curious. We see um as always how generous our community is with the donations and there's one in particular for $10,000 for the Huddle program. I think I'm pronouncing it right. Um I'm just curious what that program is. So Huddle is our um system that we use for in our gym and on um pounds field for athletics. So when you live stream athletic events um it's through the huddle system. So the donation was to pay for the um software lensure for that for the upcoming year. Thank you. Y All right. Are there any other questions about the consent agenda? Being none, I'll call
033the question. All in favor? I I any opposed? Any abstensions? All right, the consent agenda is approved. Now we are on to item five, a staffing update. All right, so this is for discussion. Um I this is one of the few times where um we follow our two-step process, but I'm asking up front if we would consider um once you hear the discussion to um provide a motion to move this to action uh discussion action so that we could take um if if approved action on this. Otherwise um we would bring this back again in August which would delay the implementation of this. We um been following our staffing um critical staffing as you know um from our time that the board concerned it in March through um our open enrollment season and looking at
034enrollments our kindergarten um sections at Kagansza we've seen some moveins through the summer and we have increased um those enrollments so that we are above um our critical staffing targets by um two and and three. So we are hovering for class targets of 22 um 24 and 25 in sections. So we are recommending that we add a 1.0 FTE educator at Kagansza um so that we could align with our enrollment driven um staffing at the elementary level. So that is the reason why it's on there for discussion um and ultimately for consideration. Are there any questions, Alison? Um so would this be a permanent position or a temporary position? Permanent. Okay. Are we anticipating then other needs later? We think I mean obviously those kids are going to go on to the next grade. Is
035that what we're thinking this person would be able to follow? So we this would be adding an FT to our our critical staffing and then it would become part of our overall staffing consideration for next March when we when we bring staffing. So similar um if the if this bubble continues to move through it is likely then staffing will will follow follow suit but we are looking one year at a time um and then looking at our overall enrollment trends year to year make those decisions. Okay, thank you. That's a good question. U Mia, go ahead. How are we paying for this position? So our budget gets will it will have to be built into our budget. We would be looking at um building that budget and bringing a budget for consideration in the end
036of October. So this is in part one of the one of those big rocks that um we try to have in place before we get to the budget discussion in October. Lisa Dan, could you remind us what will the CL the kindergarten class sizes be at Gansza with the added educator? Um, I think it drops down to about 17 or 18 in a class. Jared, in the spirit of just trying to be thorough about existing resources for argument sake, if we had a efficient way of, let's say, busing the kids from Kagansza to Sand Hill to Fox Prairie, are there currently enough seats at those two schools that could theoretically welcome the additional students at Kagansza so that we wouldn't necessarily have to hire another person, but we fill classes at the other two schools.
037It's a interesting interesting question. It would be more Come on up, Erica. It would be more more of a challenge for our families in that we have built our system around neighborhood schools and um enrollment boundaries. So that if we were to all of a sudden make a shift something like that um we would have some significant challenges around communication and select even just simply trying to figure out a methodology for selecting which students would get bus to what what place. So, um I would advocate not to go in that direction um unless there was significant investment in exploring multiple options, getting some community input on that and then having the board weigh in on a different methodology for um assigning enrollment. So, I know some school districts have done that, but they um have
038been very upfront when people are enrolling that this could be a possibility. Um we have not done any of that groundwork. So, I think that would that would create um a lot of feedback to both the board and logistical challenges um this close to the end of the school year. So, this is the best option for us at this point. Yeah, I was just going to say before, this is going way back, but before we closed Jihara Elementary and redid our grade configurations, we did not have a neighborhood school concept. We had a designated swing attendance area in town. And we we did basically what you were saying. We tried to balance out class sizes by moving kids around town. And when you do that over a period of time, um, we definitely had situations
039where we did we had like my where my kids were located, the people right behind us went to giggon, the people across the street went to here, and my kids were scheduled to go to Fox. So we did have it was it was it was very interesting because the longer you do that, then you have siblings. And so this family went to a different school and then you have their siblings and you know, siblings can stretch out over a very long period of time. And um we had then busing hubs where we'd have transfer points where kids would go from um all three elementaryaries to Sand Hill and then they would transfer to their final bus because you had to get kids on the most efficient routes to get them to where they lived even
040though they might have been all the way across town at a different school. So, um I totally appreciate the thinking because it is hard when when you're trying to run a tight budget, you know, adding a staff member because you hit a couple a couple um kids over that class size policy. But I think if you start going down that path, there are a lot of considerations to think about um if it's a one-time concern or if it's an ongoing issue. and then you know what options make the most sense um logistically over the long term because again I when I started here in this district it was after many many years of having that swing attendance area um and we ended up with it just got a little wonky after a while and that's
041one of the things when we did close an elementary school and redistribute we heard a lot of community members saying that they really wanted a a neighborhood school concept that was back in 2008 so it's been a while and it doesn't mean that that couldn't be something we the future, but I would agree with Dan and that you might want to have um some planful conversations ahead of time before before going going down that path. I also want to say too that with the state budget passing that that creates a little more flexibility in adding a position right now than we would have had, you know, two or three months ago as well. Thank you. I'm going to go with Jim and then Mia. Okay. Yeah, just kind of a followup to that of just
042uh and I think in one of our conversations we talked a little bit about that that process and it sounds like really to do it well would as as you say kind of a planful process in which people have a fair amount of input so they know as changes are being made. How far ahead of how far ahead of a change do people need to do you need to start thinking about changing boundaries or is it something you'd be thinking about? Is anybody thinking about it now for the next sometime down the road given the way the city's growing kind of where are you at in relation to the growth of the city and how we look at our boundaries if you and it may not be on the top certainly probably not at the
043top of the list right now but I think I think it's I think it's a good question when I was first hired um I know that there was certainly conversations around grit configuration in part I think spurred prior to me being hired with the capital referendum and things of that nature. I think uh we've met with the city once before looking at the housing projections um not knowing how quickly houses would be built, how quickly houses would be sold. I would I would venture a guess you're probably looking a few few years out. I don't think you're looking at a conversation this year for a change next year. I think you're looking at a conversation this year, but getting more detailed a year from now and making a decision maybe two years out for maybe
044two. I not knowing the the conversations that happened close to 20 years now with Yahara in terms of in terms of that swing. Right. Yeah. I when we went through that process, we had, you know, we we were forced into it to some extent because of closing a school and then just doing a complete grade reconfiguration. Um, we did have we we were working on it for a couple of years. I mean, there's just some things to think about. I think the more time you have, well, it can be a double-edged sword. I mean, sometimes too much time gives um many opportunities to second guess. But I do think communication and and thinking through all the impacts is very much appreciated when you think of all the things when I go back to that like
045what do you do about a fifth grader? You know boundaries changed next year they've been in school kindergarten through fourth grade and now they're going to be a fifth grader. Are you going to make them change schools for one year and then change again? Like all those kinds of things. And if you grandfather your fifth grader, what about my second grade brother? Like um those are just emotional things for families. And I think the the sooner you can make a decision and just communicate that so people know um they can plan. Yeah. Um but and I and I think too when I when I think about the areas around town that are building, you know, as those may or may not continue to grow, give it a little time potentially before that balance. You don't
046want to wait until the last second when you don't have time. But if you decide too soon and things change a little bit, you don't want to wish you would have done something a little different like just because those changes can be can be a little bit um you know contentious I guess. Okay. I feel like we've gone sort of ary now. We were talking about adding a teacher and now we're talking about district boundaries. So I think um Mia if you had a question that was related to the FTE edition. I'm good. Okay. All right. Then does anyone want to make a motion related to this discussion item? Allison, just one more thing. I'm making the assumption that um that the thought and urgency here is so we have additional time to find somebody.
