001It's six o'clock. We'll get um meeting started. Uh we'll start with roll call. Uh Nikki here. John here. Melinda here. Tiffany here. Kelly here. Jason here. Myself here. Right. I'll join with pledge of allegiance. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Yes. All right. Uh we'll start things off with student achievements. So um schoolbased mental health therapy by Carol I'm actually really no pictures. You don't like your hair? No. I just don't want to. All right. All right. Thanks guys for letting me present. So I am just presenting on our schoolbased mental health therapy that we've had for the last actually eight years. So I just want to start with a little
002video about school based mental health therapy. Just get it off. I do this work because over the course of my career, I have seen inequitable outcomes for students who are impacted by things outside of their control. And mental health and wellness is one of the areas that I know that we can make an impact on partnership with community agencies, parents and caregivers, and with school staff. School mental health is important for students because it really looks at the whole child approach. So while we have our academic learning happening, our social emotional skill development needs to be happening at the same time. In life in general, relationships matter. We really focus on building those relationships. How do we look at a systems level to really be able to capture all the needs that we have in
003our district as counselors with a ratio of one to about 400. I see day in day out how many needs we have and I feel like it's important to help work on those systems and being able to really capture the needs of students. We understand that mental health is important and mental wellness is important for all of our students and families who've come through our school district from early childhood through the age of 21. The impact of things outside of school and how that manifests in school is something that we take really seriously. So if a student is not coming in mentally well or their social emotional wellness is not in such a place that they can access education that is where our entry point is. As school mental health girls we can stop the
004cycles and end barriers by collaborating as families caregivers and by building those relationship with those students. We need to not only be aware of the mental health concerns that they might have, we also need to understand what those barriers are and be able to address them in a wide variety of ways. Kids come from extremely different backgrounds and trauma histories and how one student might react to a situation is going to look differently to another student. We start first at the universal level and really think about wellness um around all aspects of a student's health. If we can help them help them feel like school's a safe place, we're going to find a lot more benefit from take those barriers out of the way. Positive school climate and culture for staff and students. So feeling
005pride in school, feeling belonging in school, feeling like you have a say in how things are going. It helps that I'm most effective with students when they feel accepted in a space of me. They feel like their identity is appreciated. They feel comfortable and safe and are held to high expectations because they know that they can be great if they can be great and that goes a long way. I've seen the benefit and the impact that school-based mental health services across the continuum of supports can have on students with the primary goal of being able to access their education and learn so that they can achieve their life goals after leaving us and leaving the public school system. It's not just investing in students. It's really investing in the whole community. I can see it
006way better than I can. All right. So I just have a couple of high points. I did include uh a couple of handouts for you guys. So that's the 2003 202247 that we get from our work for schoolbased mental health therapy. But I'm just going to give you guys some high level. So those are handouts for you guys. So the schoolbased mental health therapy is really just one component that we have of the framework for students. It's the intense level for a select number of students that are in need of it. It's only one thing. We wouldn't recommend therapy for you know all students of course. Um so I just want to point that out. Um the history is that connections for mental wellness formed in 2018 and it actually started with a group of
007us area school reps and mental health providers that said we can't get to some of the academics with kids because of the mental health needs that they have. So we started to work together in the Brown County area and it wasn't anything that we created alone like we created it for this area but it was it was working together to take the model that is starting to be done in other areas too. Um so I am I'm representing but I absolutely alone do not do the work. So I want to make sure that I give credit to all the people that are on that slide. Kathy Morgansson does a great job of working with family services who's our provider. She does a lot of the work with the scheduling. Melissa Dist is our community health
008worker. Um she really walks alongside families and getting set up with the therapy. Um Angie Sandra McNab and then um Angela Eder, Amanda, Mike Olson, Ellie Wendorf, Ellie Masters, all the principles, the building admin assistants and teachers really all work on this. So I'm, you know, I'm representing it, but I definitely want you guys to know that they all do the work. So we have a partnership with family services that is costneutral for the district and it's one day per week. That means we don't we don't have to pay any money for it and we get kids the services that they need. Um we also have to make sure that we're good stewards of that service too. So, some of the ways that we do that is we make sure that the slots are full,
009that we're we're referring kids, that we're working alongside parents to help them get set up for the therapy um in order to be able to fill this class because the from the provider standpoint, they pay their therapist whether a student is with them or not. So, they want to make sure that that is full and full of kids that need it. So, um, the reason it's delayed, you know, the 2023, 2024 is that Connections for Rental Wellness takes all the data before and after and they gather it. Like I got this partway through this last school year and so it's a little bit delayed, of course. Um, but they they take the data um every year. So, it's eight school districts that use connections for mental wellness. It's not a unique model. It's something that
010other that's done in other areas, too. There's 37 schools that have a therapist that comes in. There's five mental health provider agencies in Brown County that work with the schools. Um, at this point, 398 students have received therapy. That's not in writ county. Um, and we do pre-inposed assessments to make sure that kids are improving. Um, the one couple things I wanted to mention is we do prioritize that this is therapy for students that have a barrier to mental health care, whether it's um, uh, limited financial resources or parents can't get them to therapy. So it's the students that we would recommend that they they don't get the therapy otherwise and they do really need it. Um it's not anything that the school provides without like complete parent consent. So this is different than school
011counseling. It's actually mental health therapy. So it's the same as if a student um a child went to the clinic and the parent completed all their PA paperwork, submitted interns or Medicaid, whatever it was that supported that. It's just that it's done without the barrier of having to travel outside of the the district and get to the appointment. So yeah, I also have in there it is different than school counseling. So it is it is for a mental health need. So it is one of those intense interventions um that's there for kids. So this is just some uh some statistics. So at the time of discharge, students were showing signs of improved coping skills, improved I can't quite read that overall mental health, higher levels of resiliency, fewer behavior and office referrals, and also improved
012attendance. And then I also on the bottom right hand side, you can see the five providers that we work with here in in Brown County is PA, Fallon, Foundations, Family Services, and Innovative Counseling. close to that. You can also see too that um connections for mental wellness, they have raised and um looks like used about $107,000 because providers actually typically lose some money on the therapy services um because sometimes when you're billing for Medicaid, you don't get as much um reimbursement as what you pay the therapist. So, Connections does some funding work to help support that students get the support they need. And then this is just some of the improvements that's also in the summary report. So you can just see some things there like if I need help, I would want um I
013would see my counselor. Now they're using the word counselor as like really active therapist. So that's not school counselor. So um the really big benefits is that kids when they have a good experience with a therapist, they're more likely to down the road when they're maybe 20, 25 or need that again and they're much more willing to do that. Um, so you can just see some of the good outcomes there. Treated with respect, um, was caring and understanding, helped me do better. And then, um, area of concern at the end of referral was much more much often an emotional need or a you know challenging family situation, behavioral as well as social and post intervention. You can see higher levels of resiliency, improved school attendance, fewer behavior and office referrals, improved overall mental health, and
014then improved coping skills. So, those are all some really great improved coping skills that we see. Thank you. And then, um, these are just a couple of quotes that counsel helps me feel focused and calm, helps me think of a solution. I was able to talk about how I felt and not feel judged. Um, I was able to feel safe about my feelings. So, and also overall like 23 of 25 categories using the SCQ um was improved for for kids that received therapy. I think that's it. Any questions that you guys have? I have a question for you, Caroline. Yeah. Um so, the the one thing that I looked on here at the time of discharge and I'm looking at this chart for your reference, right? At the time of discharge, student is showing sign
015of one of the lowest percentages of recruit school attendance where here it's one of the higher percentages. Do you happen to know what the difference is? Is this like hey they really have been and this is they aren't quite but they are almost discharged. So one of the differences this is the Brown County handout and then this is specific to writes down. Oh okay. Okay. Awesome. That's a great question. So yes, this is actually so they did the work connections through the work of like this is specific exactly to Whitstone and then this is all county. I actually think it might have to do with a little bit like we don't struggle with attendance as much as some of the districts seems to be doing quite a bit better than Yeah. And honestly, that's in
016general, right? Like we have, but that's not um that's because of the work um also because of the community, but because of the work of really working to have kids feel safe and welcome and you know, happy here at school. Awesome. Any other questions? When you talked about um connections um helping bridge that gap for funding, do you know where that funding comes? Like do they do they do funraising state funding or is it Nope. It's it's fundraising. So I know even like gosh they did lose their funding for this next year and they were able to get a different you know someone some some someone in um Brown County that funds it that believes in the work. So I I can't remember who the funding source is for this next year. I think it
017might have been either was or is going to be foundations. So yeah and you know the big thing is schools can't fund that. Funding is limited. they can't fund that. So, yeah. And so, the way that we're good stewards is really working to make sure that we're understanding their systems, they're understanding our systems, we're making sure that the seats are full, that we don't have a therapist that's sitting without a student that and the kids that need it are getting it, and we're also prioritizing students with barriers to care, the right the right students, too. Um, so yeah. Any any other questions? Uh on the first part up here u one of the bottom items for others just says lack of parent and guardian dot dot dot you know the dot dot dot I I
018can look that up and I can find out for you. Yeah. Yeah. It might just be um maybe like maybe support or something. Yeah. But I mean but like I did mention before too um parents have to they have to give consent. They have to complete all the paperwork. So it's never anything that's done without parents being very involved. So I can find out I can find that out and email you. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. We are on a All right. Next on the agenda is forum for public comment. Um this is the public's opportunity to bring concerns to the board. Board discussion and action on public forum items is prohibited for the open meeting law agenda posting requirements. Evidence may be may be taken under advisement. Referred to proper channels
019or basic general information may be provided. He says personal tax and anonymous concerns will not be considered. Those wishing to speak will be given five minutes to speak. Board minutes will reflect only open form general comments. At this time we have one person sign up. Ron thank you. Yes I'm Ron Zan a district resident and is with considerable sadness that tonight I must speak to you about the possible death of one dear to me. Her name is transparency. As things heated up here in the Wrightstown School District in recent months, transparency was often times referred to. The previous board under the capable leadership of President Angela Hansen Winker was often accused of ignoring transparency. According to allegations, she wasn't transparent about speaking for the board to a political organization. and this without first informing the
020board. We now know this charge uh to have been announcements and allegedly she wasn't transparent about the investigation of Superintendent Andy Space. Apparently, she failed to inform the board when suspicions first arose about his performance, when the investigation began, and what was being discovered. Charity might have suggested that this was not so much a lack of transparency as it was instead an eagerness to protect both the district and the reputation of the superintendent until such time as more was known. A time when suspicions were either verified as valid or proven false. Of course, we now know that Mr. case chose of his own accord to resign about midway through his contract. A decision which brought an end to the investigation and the possibility of a formal hearing. Maybe transparency didn't die during that period, but
021a good friend of hers did. charity and charges of lack of transparency certainly flew wild regarding the unbudgeted costs for legal fees and eventually costs for the severance package, especially given the fact that the superintendent had been employed by the district for only a year and a half or so. Why this review of recent history? because the frequent allegations of a lack of transparency on the part of that board seems to me to have been unwarranted. Rather, the very ones who alleged that lack of transparency are now themselves being trans uh lacking in transparency. In January of this year, the board signed a contract with Mr. Ronari to serve as interim superintendent. Many who attended board meetings found his style of leadership to be exactly what Rightstown needed at this difficult time. He properly understood
022the relationship between a superintendent and the board and that was evident frequently at meetings. He was thoroughly professional. Yet on May 28th, the Wrighttown spirit reported briefly. The Ricetown Area School District Board of Education met in close session on Tuesday, May 20th with legal counsel to discuss concerns of Superintendent Ron Sari's performance. After it came out of close session, the board announced it had decided to place Sari on administrative de pending the completion of its review. End quote. That's it. That's all of it. At ensuing meetings of the board, Mr. Sar's table plard was absent, but not a word of explanation was uttered that my ears could hear regarding his absence. It appeared that another district employee was filling in for this superintendent, but no explanation was given. Questions certainly arise, and among them are
023these. Does the board believe that the need for transparency was fulfilled by a brief notice in the right sound spirit? Since more than a month has now passed, what's the status of the board's uh performance review? If after only four months on the job, the board has detected a serious performance issue, is the board balancing that against Mr. Sar's obvious and considerable skill set. Mr. Sari is now being paid by district taxpayers for doing essentially nothing, for making no contribution to the success of the district. What's the timeline for the performance review? Is the board using legal counsel as it proceeds? And how much is this costing? Yes. Where in all this is transparency? I fear you may have died. Thank you. Next on the agenda is um approval for meeting minutes. [Music] May 7th
024meeting or 2020. Can I get a motion to approve? Motion to approve meeting minutes from May 20th, 2025. Second that motion. I'll open it up for discussion. Any questions?

I had a emailed Dan about it, but just wanted to be open out there. There is one item there talked about the penny war donation. I was curious if my donation was a charge
026and not uh depositive in there, but apparently got put in the general fun in and out at the elementary school. There was a penny war. Congratulations. Penny war at the elementary. Maybe stealing your thunder from your board report. penny war. Uh um I I don't we 16 raised over $1,600 for the def. So yeah, that gets transferred in and then we get transferred back. Any other questions? All right. All those in favor. You need a motion motion to approve. I make a motion to approve. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? All right. Consideration to approve the staffing update for June 18th. Motion to bring the June 19th staffing update to the floor. I'll make a motion. I'll second your motion. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? All right. So, we do have um two resinations
027at the elementary school, a FIAD teacher and a second grade teacher. Uh we are currently in the process of uh replacing that. I know there was second grade interviews today. Um and then we do have uh three new hires uh two at the high school, a counselor and a special education teacher and then also a new hireer in food service. So the elementary fiad that was a new role this year, right? We had previously had just one e teacher component. Are we planning to replace or? Yes. Planning to replace in order to make sure that we meet the appropriate minutes at of at the elementary school. Okay. Excuse me. Is that just a part-time basis then? We have one and a half. So one and a half. So this is this is the 1.0 position.
028This is the full This is the full This is the position. Yes. Mrs. Okay. Sometimes we get updates as to like any reasoning why they're leaving or just changing positions, different I can speak to that. Thank you. His his girlfriend got a job in season. So So he had to and he's from the from the Ammerst area, so he's moving back closer to it. It was hard to see him go. He was sad. We were sad. Um but understand the reasons why he was sitting. Yeah. Um and then Mrs. proudly she is taking um a uh literacy position in the news. Thank you. Anything else? So you looking for a motion to approve the reserations and new hires as presented? I'll make a motion. I'll second it. All those in favor? I anyone opposed hearing?
029Uh consideration to approve um proposed school calendar for 2026 2027 school year and review this of staff and parent survey data pertaining to the location of spring break in the school calendar. Motion to bring the proposed school calendar for 2026 2027 school year and review of staff parent survey data to the floor. I'll make that motion. Second. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? All right. So, you've seen this before um at a a workshop on April 16th. Some of you might have not have been seated at that time. Uh we did a community survey uh talking about, you know, where where would spring break fall and and some other um information. We do have a proposed calendar here that would be recommended uh by administration. Um spring break is Uh, spring break would be the
030uh second week of March. Always gets to be a bit of a struggle scheduling wise with sports and where and the end of quarters fall and and that kind of thing. So, I know a lot of districts do things differently, but I don't think that's a change from the current schedule. That is not a change. And it looks like it very much supports the data which is what the survey said. Yeah. Okay. So, one thing I noted in previous occurrences, we've had board meetings overlap with parent teacher conferences. Um I didn't look like the elementary ones overlap this time around, which is good because this ends up being a space used for uh book sales and things like that. But didn't know if wanted to address the schedule of the board meetings on those nights
031so we don't have overlap. We certainly will have to look at that as we grow closer to that. And you know, as we talked about, I think last meeting about um you know, rotating the schedule, maybe that's a great opportunity to uh move a board meeting location that night. We'll certainly look at that administratively and provide a recommendation. other questions? Well, not necessarily a question, but I wondered about I know a while ago there was like different options brought to the board. I guess I would be um happy to see that again just to see is it just for different variances in the calendar and maybe try to coordinate more of like the high school days off with the elementary so that parents that need help um I know they don't all coincide it's just
032not going to work with some of the dates but maybe some of the PD days and I know why they're put everywhere just to kind of focus on that. So, I don't know. It's just an idea. I know it was done years ago that way where there were like more than one option. Then staff could see what they thought and then like that information was then brought to the board. So, I I know the principles um sought input from the staff. So we do we kind of have like two or three drafts that we start start off with and then we take it to like our building leadership team and then we kind of go from there and see and then they take it back to their grade level their different content levels and they
033talk about it and then they come back to us and give us the feedback and things like that. So the staff do get some input into kind of how the calendar ends up playing. Um so there are different options that we start off with. Any other questions? Um Sarah, can you just There's a number of elementary PD days, but that's that's because there are additional elementary school PD days because of ours. Correct. So hours is why we can do it because um the number of hours that we need for elementary compared to middle school to high school are different. And so that's why we have the flexibility to do that. But one of the biggest reasons for that is to accommodate the timelines for act 20. We have to have all the testing um data
034collected uh sent out to parents. That's that takes more than just what we're capable of doing within the school day. We don't have a ton of extra people who can do that. So we need to be team effort. And that's literally like all of our specialists are in a room helping classroom teachers organize their material, organize their data and get it sent out for parents. So that's the biggest reason why those those changed locations from this year to next year because if we can do this a week earlier that would be benefitful because it's all timely and we have to meet for act money. We have to give the assessment in 45 days before the end of the school year. Data has to be out by state and so that's why those days are in
035there in a really strategic place. Thank you. tax is very helpful. Is that something Sarah that is going to continue going forward as well 20 is a thing and those timelines are there those are things that we can't just do within the the day. So we do do some of it. So we have daily meetings during the day. Um but then that's taking away the teachers the teachers time to prep other things. And so what we're trying to do is then in that in those days that we have off we have to write personal reading plans for every student who scores below the 25th percentile on a screener and then has to take additional diagnostic testing. So then from there then we have to meet with the classroom teacher write a specific plan for that
036student and then make sure that the teacher signs it. If there's a special ed teacher they sign it the administrator has to sign it. they'll be getting uh services from an interventionist, they all have to sign it. So, it's a lot of coordinating that needs to be done and it's easier for everybody's just available in a day because you have only so long a small window by the time that testing is done that the letter has to be in the parents hands. So, they really don't make it conducive to be like, oh, well, you know, we have a couple of weeks to do that. That's not that's not how it works. So is that sometimes why then like the looking at April they have the 16th off for PD but then elementary has the 30th
037off again. Is that because of timeline? Because the 16th is districtwide and so we want to make sure that the elementary school can still participate in what the district-wide initiatives are as well. So that's why those days are different. and the 16th, we probably wouldn't have our testing completely done by that point because it's 45 like calendar days instead of 45 school days. So, we would probably start testing on the 19th of April. And I'm just spitballing that like looking at that. That's probably when we would start. And so, then we would have to do our day-to-day on the 30th and then we would go and do all of the letters and getting them all sent out and personal reading plans created on the 30th. You are more than welcome to come in and see
038what happens. I feel like this approach is becoming the normal for districts. Like I've seen other calendars and this is not unusual. No, it's it's a lot of work. It's a lot of organizing and it's and you want to make sure that the that you're doing it right and that you're doing it what's best for kids. Like when you write these plans, it's not a coach plan for every student. It's like all right, if this is what their gap is showing, like what is that intervention going to look like? What is the classroom teacher doing? What is the intervention is doing? Or is it just the classroom teacher who's doing it? and how are we going to progress monitor that? What are like and getting all of those things set up so that we can
039hit the ground running? Um in this case like April 4th, other questions? Right. So, I'll be looking for a motion to approve the calendar uh for 2026 2027 school year as presented. I'll make that motion to approve the uh 2627 school year. All right. All those in favor? I. Anyone opposed? All right. Motion appears. Um, consideration to approve proposed high school, middle school start and end time change for the 2025 2026 uh, school year. Motion to bring the proposed high school and middle school start and end time change for 2025 school year to the floor. Thank all those in favor. Anyone opposed? All right. So, you've seen this as as well. Um, noticing we're trying to eliminate amount of time of students on the bus. So just adjusting the start and end times by by
040a few minutes to try to alleviate some of that pressure and um you know the congestion on on on the bus and having everyone um in the same place all all at the same time. So try to help our bus drivers out a little bit and and try to make things flow a little a little easier. There's been a considerable difference in time our elementary kids get out and middle when high school kids get out and it takes time for them to get over here. So our elementary kids are sitting on buses for a lengthy amount of time waiting for other kids to arrive. This five minute shift will help alleviate some of that wait for our kids. questions on it. I don't know if my child can get to school. He will be the
041only one. Can't change all the talks in your house by won't even know. They teach you how to do it on their phone, too. Just blame Just blame them if like it's not a problem. That's a school mandated. Is that a going your own? I guess the only question I Greg, my question is for you. This doesn't really help alleviate the fact that we would have issues with buses for sports teams or anything. It doesn't it doesn't help nor really hinder it, does it? It uh it helps a little. Okay. Well, it'll help. It It could for uh The biggest complaint with bus drivers is it's tough with elementary kids doing nothing on the bus for 20 minutes. Sure. It kind of Yeah. No a little bit. All right. Which can be with anybody. All
042right. With that, um, yes, could be 20 minutes just sitting there with I know I know I might. Um, so yeah, that u that's kind of one of the reasons that you know we want the bus drivers to have a good experience with our here as well too. Correct. Usually we have three more buses than we have for the route. So then those three extra buses we can use as during routes we call them do. So we can have three buses go out for after school activities. If we don't have that we have to take a after bus which is usually 4:05 410 and this will move this up to 4:00. Okay. All right. So it might help a little bit for uh late, but otherwise if we're playing Little Shoot or Freedom or Denmark,
043we got to drop them off early and and then then it goes the coaches don't like sitting there and doing the All right. And every school district's going through that, so it does help a little bit. Okay. Um I know the coaches will like it for practices after school. Yeah. All right. So that we can get them home a little bit earlier. So it's only five minutes, but it does seem like it would be a lot. We probably did practice starting at about 3:15 now. Yeah. No, I I mean I think it's a great thing for the elementary school kids not being on a bus obviously, right? Um but as long as we're not hurting anything else, then I think it's good. What's the reason for moving the two schools forward five minutes instead of
044elementary school back five? Yeah. So if we move it back then what I have is then I have longer time to provide supervision for my students at the end of the day and I don't need any more time in our account in our day. Our day is already more than enough minutes. So by doing that I'm actually adding minutes to us where we don't need to add any minutes when it comes to what's required by the state. Well the you should start time back to 85. So if we did that then I had them on on the playground five minutes longer and I don't want 530 kids on the playground longer than that in the morning. So our it's so really they were able most of the buses are already here and so all of
045it it really does work just to bump the or the middle school and high school up five minutes because again all the buses are here so it's just up to those kids. I also have a a child who might have to get up five minutes earlier um to make sure that they're to the high school on time. Sounds good. Yeah. I don't want to delay drop off five more minutes. No that's what it would and honestly that's what it would be. We'd have to push drop off back by at least five minutes and I know we already have a line at 7:25. So So when you say kids are on the bus for 20 minutes, you mean this is when the bell rings and they're waiting on the bus for everybody to come home. Correct.
046So our our bell rings at 3:00. As soon as all of the buses are here, we exit. The buses I think are playing a little bit of a game and getting here at like 3:04. So then we hold the students in the building until all the buses are parked, but then they sit on the bus. They don't usually leave this parking lot until 319. That sound that's on a good day. Kids walk over from the high school. Essentially, we're cutting off five minutes of time they would be sitting on the bus. There's behavior. Yeah. And again, that would be if the buses are all here right away. I mean, there's very rarely are they here at 3:00 and we're like, "Oh, great. The bell's ringing and we can exit." It's usually a little bit different
047than that. So, it is something that the bus company has asked us to do for a couple years now. I'm just trying to process this in my mind is is five minutes. It does make a difference. Okay. because it seems like 900 kids. Not much time to me to make a difference. It does. Okay. We could move middle school and high school up another five minutes, but then we're starting at 7:50 and know some people are might be too drastic of a change. Might be something you want to keep. Yes. A yearby-year transition. That's five minutes as an adult, right? Five minutes as a kindergartener or first grader or second grader. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Sitting there doing their thing, you know, they can do a lot. Trouble. Yeah. I say let's try it. Just
048out of curiosity, aside from the start times with the bus company, are they offering any um kickbacks or deductions on the contract? Not that I know about, but I don't deal with that. So that would be more of a damn question. Yeah. I don't know the wordage in the contract. I think numbers. Yeah, it's by routes. It's not by by time. And if it's something that they're asking for, you know, I see any issues with them. We we have because of limited um bus drivers gone down routes. So made the routes a little longer. Sometimes we have to get creative that way if some bus drivers call in sick or whatnot. So Phil a part of the body. He does a really good job. He's really easy to work. Talk to him a lot. Principals
049do too. So, we're definitely in it together. It's a good partnership, I think. Okay. Other questions. All right. So, then I'd be looking for a motion to approve the high school middle school start and end time change for 2025 2026 school year as presented. I'll make that motion. Right. All those in favor? I. Anyone opposed? All right. Consideration to approve the Edgar uh special policy updates from Nola. Motion to bring the Edgar special policy updates from Yola to the floor. I'll make a motion. Second. All those in favor? And anyone opposed? You've seen these policies before as well. These are policies related to uh federal grant dollars um regulations from from the federal government. Um just strengthening, you know, internal controls documentation that's required on certain expenditures. I don't expect it to affect us uh
050too much. Uh we don't have a lot of federal funds that are discretionary. Uh primarily primarily they are um you know uh food service meal reimbursements um and staffing. We do have some professional development and some other things like that that is more discretionary. So we'll have to you know provide some more documentation on that but by and large I don't see too much change. Any questions on the policies as presented? No, this isn't the first time but maybe first time going into some of the details. So questions on how the graphs are presented otherwise. So just so I'm clear in the attached documents that we're looking at then what we see selected is what we are yep approving. That will be coming. So then all strike out and then that will become the policy
051and so so Tim Banick from uh Neola will then clean that document up and then this becomes our language that will become our language on um on the policy section of their docs I have is P7450 the document name properties policy itself named appropriately just a file name is Yep. Yeah, that won't affect any of the policies, but thank you. All right, other questions. All right. So, I'd be looking to approve the Edgar special policy updates from Yola policies 3440 job related expenses 6110 grant funds internal controls 6112 cash management of grants 6114 cost principal spending federal funds procurement federal grants funds 7310 disposition of personal property property and 7450 property and employee as presented. I'll make a motion. I'll second. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? All right. Consideration to approve act 20 policy
0525411 uh third grade promotion and retention for atrisisk students. Looking for a motion to bring act 20 policy 5411 to the floor. Motion policy act 25411 to the floor for discussion. I'll second it. All those in favor. Anyone opposed? Uh so this is a policy that you have not seen. Um and Sarah can probably speak a little little more to the detail about it. Uh procedurally uh typically your process would be to have a first read at one meeting and then a second read at a second reading and an approval at that second meeting. Um, board policy does allow you to uh approve a policy in one sitting in an an emergency situation. Um, I wasn't sure if this qualified as a emergency situation, but I did speak with Tim Banick at Board Docs, um,
053or Niola, and he recommended that we approve it in one sitting because there is a federal mandate that the policy be in place prior to July 1st, 2025. The policy does not go into effect until September 27th. September 27th. So little time to um execute that policy, but it is a federal requirement that we have it in place. So that we have a policy in place that we that we have this policy in place. So we have in place and if changes need to get made before 2027. Correct. So that would be our recommendation. And Sarah, if you want to talk a little bit about the details if there's questions. So even if somebody if the board would want a second read, we do have time. I talked to Jim Banick and he said because
054of the current policy we have, it kind of bridges that gap, but for sure by August 1. So we would have time if somebody's feeling like they want more details on it. Um I did ask him about the changes in selections. So I'm not sure why Ron didn't bring it forward forward with the other ones. Um but this should have been brought forward to us. But most of the selections because it usually does go through the superintendent are like a chunk of schools it's the same selection. So there is no anomaly to the selections that you see here that are made for Wrightstone versus other school districts. So it looks like it's just saying like uh it's just giving an an absolute date of September 1st versus cannot be later than that. So, it's just
055basically saying that you're not going to enact this policy prior to September 1st, 2027. You're just going to do it on that date. Um, also checking on the Yeah. Yep. I don't know if you wanted to add anything, Sarah. I claim that it's it's promotion policies like you you had mentioned like we already have a promotion policy um as a policy but this just goes specifically to act 20 and third grade promotion. So that the other one could be for any grade level uh promotion policy. This is specific to act 20 and a child who is leaving third grade going into fourth grade because a personal reading plan does not follow a child to fourth grade. Once a child gets to fourth grade, the personal reading plan becomes like an intervention plan, which is what
056we we currently already have for our students prior to the personal reading plan. So basically what it's saying is that if a student doesn't meet the requirement of the personal reading plan, but also doesn't score at meeting on the forward test in just the reading portion of the forward test. That means that they would not necessarily exit out of their personal reading plan, which means then you could go through the retention policy if we wanted to. It again with checking A through H, that is a really solid decision because we have to look at the whole child. They are more than just a reader. They're there's a human there, right? And so that takes those things into account. So, it's really based on those two things. As a student exits third grade, do they meet
057their personal reading plan and do they score at a meeting on the forward reading test and third grade? We have we have to do this specific to this because of act 20 where act 20 cuts off and then intervention plans start. That's correct. Yep. And this doesn't take any there's still parental decision involved in all of this, right? It doesn't eliminate any I didn't see anything that eliminated that at all. No, it actually is a lack of parental reinforces making that decision. It's a team decision. It is never just one individual who gets to make that decision. I don't know if that decision is compared to the only one who gets a sole decision. 1% of students would have fallen into this scenario over the last three four years. So it would be really hard
058to see because we haven't had personal reading plans. So if you're looking at students who scored 25th in like in just a our universal screener um and then who weren't as proficient on the forward I think I can even just like we just counted up yesterday I think there were 20 students. Okay. But again, that's not looking at the whole child. And that was maybe a child who just didn't score proficient in one portion of the reading. They may be scored proficient in the reading forward assessment, but if they weren't proficient in the reading, but proficient in the writing, then they could get a combined score. So, it it really is quite technical on how a student would fall into this. Um, but right now, I would not have any student that I would recommend
059for pronunciation. I think the language is valid. I don't see I don't feel the need to do another reading. I think we're agreed. Any other questions? So I'd be looking for a motion to approve act 20 policy 5411 third grade promotion and retention at risk students as presented. I'll make a motion. I'll second it. All those in favor? Anyone opposed? All right. Agenda item number six, administrative updates and board reports. So, be looking for a motion to bring the administrative reports to the floor. I'll make a motion to bring the administrative reports to the floor. Second. All those in favor? Anyone opposed. All right. Okay. Um, I will be uh in July I'll also be getting a more detailed record from the audit that I've started before. So more of that if that's what we
060plan for you. But right now summer is the busiest time of the year really for the technology services team. So we're in the process of renewing over 400 devices at the at the middle school. Um we are updating over 100 iPads to end the process right now. Um we're reviewing the mobile device management system of the iPads. Um we are fulfilling the Google audit that we did over the course of the uh the last um spring here and so we're in the process of making those particular changes. Um we are also uh creating a um a registration process for the district for the first time. uh that will be done annually. So we're about 85 to 90% complete with that at this point. Um we're moving the athletics registration and uh over to Skyward that
061will be coming out shortly. Um and just a large variety of changes. We are installing Chrome boxes in every single classroom over the summer. So we're in the process of again updating all of those and making some standardization into the classes. Um and then uh redoing our inventory system so that it's about a a bit more transparent and we are able to find student devices a lot easier and be able to keep track of those inventories. We're also redoing all of the carts at them at every one of the buildings and rewiring those and uh going through that process next month. We'll also be replacing all the core switches at the school district. will be down a short period of time as those become changed as they're out of out of service um or out
062of they're out of date basically in October. And then we're also reimaging all of the Windows machines in the school district because Windows has had no longer supported as of October. So that has to be done. So couple of things that we're in the process of this. Corey, will any of that impact any service for like getting on to the network or just out of curiosity? It it will um to a degree. So, we have some communications prepared um during that day that that's going to occur. So, um the biggest problem will be the um the wellness center and that's really just that it's not going to impact people getting in and out of there if they want to use internet during that time period. there's going to be some potential outage. Well, there's going
063to be some outages. There's not really a way to avoid that. Um, reducing cost by doing it during the day where you have engineers to do it at during that time where you pay time and a half or more if you want to do it after hours. And so that's partly why we waited until summer and the third week of July to do it to a place where there's very few things that are going on in the school district. So, um, so again, there'll be some some things that'll be out. Um, as far as our primary services, people should be able to access whatever they need to from home or from anywhere else during that time. But our our phone system basically everything that touches the internet for a short period of time will be
064gone while they're making it's just not economically feasible to have two primary network closets for an organization of this size because the times in which you have to download the internet for any period is not worth the 50 to $85,000 of the cost to maintain one of those just to start if that makes sense. So, a couple of hours without internet every couple of years is not too big. Sure. Just curious. Yeah. Cory, can you just elaborate on how you're using Chrome boxes in the classroom? Yeah. So, right now, um, we have had, uh, primarily teachers have a a projection of some sort. Usually it's a ben keyboard, right? And oftentimes the device that they have connected to that screen is one that has not been very it's been usually out of date. It's a
065loner essentially. So something that's more than five years old when they get it to start with, right? And so oftentimes when a teacher ends up presenting something on their screen, they're also having to look at a lot of private information on a different screen at the same time. And so every day when they're taking attendance and even when you just bring up the students uh information up on a screen there's all kinds of indicators that other students should not see whether they have you know IEP doesn't have all kinds of stuff and so a lot of teachers end up trying to figure out can I have a device that's over here for me to take attendance look for any kind of notification on each one the class starts while I have something up on the
066screen at the same time. So basically that pro box is going to be the thing that powers the the primarily the screen that's up in front. Um keeping it on site is is beneficial for multiple reasons. For one, uh there's something consistent in every single room. So there's a substitute or having someone move across there when it comes to servicing them. They're always available. The second thing, it's a bit more economically feasible because the hardware inside the device is usually not as expensive as the glass and the screen. So if you buy another Chromebook for them, you have to pay for the part that is the most expensive, which is just the screen itself. So a lot of times they complain about the idea that the device is too slow. It doesn't have enough inputs
067for all of the peripherals that they have like document cameras and everything else that they need to plug into it. Remember, Chromebook is designed to power all of that kind of stuff with a better processor, better hardware. We've already paid for the screens, so you can you can double up on those devices, provide them across the district without having to make a massive investment that dramatically improve their day-to-day operations. Thank you. My turn. All right. Um I'm giving my May and we didn't give it we didn't get a chance to report out in May. So it just showing off on our last May update too may update as well. So just the teams have done a really great job of finishing up the school year in May and June and then prepping for next year
068with special education staff, you know, including private supports, IEPs, sources of strength stuff is set up for the fall. Health team is all set up. Um we've done some hiring. Thank you guys for approving a couple of those positions. Uh high school special ed teaching position, high school counselor position. Then um we have one of our two aid positions still we're still working on. And then lastly, I just say that Angie and I spend a little bit of time together and then also we have time um marked off for the like tomorrow as well as several days next week just to spend time together. She already knows so much because she's been in the district, but really just to um just to help her with anything as well as she knows that I'm available after
069after 30. So that's it. Thank you. Thank you. Catherine High School. Uh first um simply last all met together high school graduation took place each thank you Jason for welcome graduation um it was a great ceremon except the slideshow but that's that's been an issue for years um since then our last student who hadn't quite met requirements has graduated so the entire class has received which is um a huge thing. Huge thank you to staff and our support of course staff and our special ed staff and staff for everything you do to make that happen. Um that's not an easy thing to accomplish in the center that grant um other than that it's just been winding down trying to get some stuff done and ready for a transition. Spent some time finalizing master schedule working
070on scheduling stuff so it gets turned over. It's all good stuff. Um it's been kind of a different last couple of weeks with what I normally do this time of year and um the things I have to get done in a big hurry just to make sure there aren't somebody else comes in. Thank you. Um the end of the school year was a success. We did a sendoff assembly with a fun game of cahoot for our students and then a pretty uh heated competitive game of head, shoulders, knees, and cones for the adults. Um, and then the day ended with our annual popsicle on the big round for everybody. So, it was a good last day. Summer school is well underway. We are seven of 12 days completed. Not that we're counting. Um, but we've
071had a great turnout this school year. I have to give a huge thank you to Katie Hayes for her leadership. Uh, as it's been really smooth with her taking it over. Um, and thank you to all the teachers in the parish for creating a fun and safe learning environment for all of our students. Um, I am looking to finish the hiring of a library aid and a second grade teacher this week and then um wrap up all hiring by the middle of next week of a new high teacher. Um, I have to say I've been really impressed with the candidate pool. We've had a lot of people who have been applying for both um both of those teaching jobs. So, that's been good. And then I would just like to end with I would love
072to thank Scott, Bob, and Caroline for the last six years. Um, they helped me when I was a rookie coming in. Helped me navigate what being a leader looks like. uh teach me to take things in stride. Don't get so worked up sometimes. Um and they will all be truly missed um as we head into the lab and they will be sitting at the table. So, thank you. Thank you. All right. Best for last. I'll be stuck with that. All right. So, um uh start starting off here. some highlights. Our Wisconsin FFA uh state convention was last week. All right. And we had a couple things. Mr. Pinchard gave some updates. We had some lot of good winners and a lot of good recognition for our rights down chapter. So we had Paige Weinberg earned
073a silver rating for research on housing of poultry growers. Laney Sundine and Lydia Mullman's earned a gold rating and were the state winners for the re research on the effects of lipids on pelt quality of red satin rabbits. Their research paper actually will be representing the state of Wisconsin in the national FFA science fair in October. That's pretty cool. Maline Mullman's earned a spot and participated in the Writtown FFA honors choir or Wisconsin FFA honors choir. The Rightstown FFA was responsible for the management of the agricultural artwork competition and displays at the Wisconsin convention. Our student managers who helped were Gracie Fernandez, Maline Andor, Ryland Mullins, and Laura Senior. Sienna Staltz participated in the state discussion meet competition. Beverly Irving, Kylie Cassmer, and Maddie Marts presented an agricultural market plan in the CD competition as
074well. And lastly, um, Molly Rubble and Morgan Cuso represented Writtown in the FFA delegate, uh, delegates. Right now, as we speak, Mr. Winkler is in, uh, Chicago for Nationals, uh, forensics. So, next month, he'll get to report on that. And later this month, uh, Mr. Dell will be taking our FBA students to California. So, it'll be cool to see some of our students how they're doing in nationals. Um, as you can see, if you're around town in Wrighttown, you can see how busy our facilities are. Uh, I know last night was a great night. I I kind of sometimes just sit back there and kind of smile when we're looking. There's two baseball games at the high school going on. There's two softball games. Uh, there's soccer games over at the high school. There's soccer
075games here. There's uh youth baseball in the corner. And then last night as well, we had our neon run that started at nine o'clock where we had over a hundred almost 130 runners. All right, that took place. So, it's very very busy. You can't really probably should sell parking. All right, find parking. Uh definitely a lot of stuff going on. But a big thank you to Coach Nat, the cross country team. A lot of volunteers. We had a lot of teachers come out, all right, to help. Um the right village police uh helped me uh doing traffic so I wasn't just out there in the middle of the road at 10 o'clock helped me out. I have a big target that they can hit. Uh but it was awesome. We had uh we had runners
076all the way from the elementary school like a third grader actually took third place in the 14 under. Uh and we had some grandpas and grandmas take part of it as well too. So it was very fun event, good fundraiser for the cross country program. Our summer in personal conditioning is off to a good start. We're two weeks in. We have over 230 high school and middle school students from 7th grade until 12th grade. Uh big thank you to Coach Chase from Bell & Health and our high school coaching staff for assisting in this. Uh from 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 on Monday through Thursday. All right. Uh you'll see at the wellness center and and on the track and in the gym, uh you'll see them taking part in six different sessions. It gets a
077little crazy from uh uh 6:00 a.m. till about 7:30 a.m. in the wellness center. So, if you're going to wellness center, you might want to go either before or after that time. All right. There's a lot going on. Um as Corey said before, our athletics department uh um we used our school activity registration. Uh that company got bought out by a company named Arbiter. And uh honestly, they've been really slow at doing the changeover and they haven't been as quick. So, uh, a lot of schools have it as well and we're going to kind of go it away and and as you can see with Corey, he's kind of a guru, right, with everything and, uh, we're going to have a new student registration system. We're going to keep it a part of that. So,
078we're thinking they're going to help families. Uh, otherwise, as I know a lot of you in here have you would have to make up your own family portal again and everything else. So, instead of that, we're just going to have one one stop all that you can do everything. So, uh, plans for that will probably come out in July of this. We want to make sure that we get it right. Uh it is the uh before I get into the all conference at the end here uh from last month uh the one thing that I wanted to mention is we had our annual NCAA Division 3 signing ceremony. Uh we have three seniors that are going to go on and play college athletics at the division three level. And I just wanted to give them
079a little shout out. Cali Peterson, she's going to go down to Iowa and participate in Pvault at the University of Debuke. Uh Dominic Meyers is going to go play soccer at Lakeland University. And Ethan Sarah is going to go play basketball at Benedictine University, which is a suburb of Chicago. So, uh good luck to all them. I know Ethan next Thursday is going to play in the state all-star game in the Wisconsin Dells. And Mallerie Cow played in a state all-star softball game yesterday. All right. So, it's pretty cool for all of those. Um, so just kind of a wrap up with our spring sports. Uh, we had our baseball team won a NEC conference title, which was pretty cool. Uh, unfortunately in the playoffs, it's kind of one of those days that we wish
080we would have had back. All right. But they had a really good season. Really proud of those guys and what they did. Our girls soccer team really went on a run in the playoffs. They won a regional title and they played last Thursday in sectionals versus a really good Xavier team. Um we were tied zero at half and we ended up losing um two to zero I think or was it three to zero? Two to zero. Two to zero. Uh Xavier is actually uh ended up beating Howard's Grove pretty bad in the sectional final. They're actually the number one seed at state you'll play on Friday and I can see them pretty easily win a state title. So we gave them a run for the money but they had a great year. So, really proud
081of those girls and coaches. Uh, some individual awards that we had from our sports in boys golf, we uh had two golfers that earned second team. We had Zack Wenley, a junior, and Andrew Bessel, a freshman. And Andrew actually qualified as an individual section qualifier golf. And I know he's doing a lot of individual golf stuff this summer. So, and uh talking to the new soccer coach, I'm going to try to make him the goalie in the fall, too. So hopefully it agrees with that. All right. Uh boys track and field. Um we did not have any allconerence members, but we had four uh gentlemen qualify for sectionals. Carson Rice, a sophomore in 110 hurdles. Alex Van Helford, a sophomore in high jump, Matias Shro, a junior in the 400, and Sam Haven um in
082a sophomore in triple jump. for girls track and field. Uh Katrina Hereska was a second team. She finished second at the conference meet in high jump. So she did a good job there. And then we had one girl qualify for sectionals and one for state and that was Cali Peterson in Balt. And she actually finished up her career with a fourth place finish in uh which is pretty cool. She came back from an injury. Uh she really only uh she got back for regional. She hurt her knee pretty bad in March. Um, so it was good that she was able to come back. For softball, we had a first team, Mallerie Cowell. She was first team utility player. Second team was Bryley D. Rocher in the outfield, senior, and Molly Rubble was a second teamer
083as a junior in the infield. Uh, honorable mention, we had three softball players. We had Brennson as a sophomore catcher, Ka Lake, a senior infielder, and Natalie Cull a senior infielder. And for baseball, uh, Aiden Humphre was the player of the year, voted player of the year. And if you remember back in football, he was also voted the offensive player of the year. So he was player of the year in two sports. And I know in basketball, he was out conference as well, too. Um, so pretty crazy with what he was able to accomplish. But first team players for baseball, we had Ryan Ley, a junior catcher. Trevor Vanderhigh, a senior outfielder, and he's going on, as we know, he's got a college scholarship to play for Iowa, so he's going to Iowa next year.
084And Aiden Humphre as pitcher. He was unanimous, and all three of them were unanimous. Second teamers, Caleb Pagorski, uh, pitcher, uh, senior, Mason Drisco, a senior outfielder. And honorable mention, we had two players as well, too. Will Shonwalder, a senior infielder, Bennett Stangle, a junior infielder. Uh, so pretty good for the baseball or baseball team. Good representation. Uh, girls soccer, we had a couple. We had the uh uh the twins, Kirstston and Carly Verbaton were both uh first team all conference with girls soccer. They're both defenders. Uh Kirstston was actually unanimous and Carly just missed unanimous by one vote. Uh second team, we had one member, Claire Tinus, a sophomore forward. an honorable mention. Elephantry, senior defender, and Ava Creger, uh, a junior goalkeeper, and that's what I Thank you. Well, usually I like to
085try to put a positive spin on it. I I can never be as positive as Craig, but uh the news out of out of Madison uh is the joint finance committee is moving closer to uh completing the state budget. Uh but that news is that the funding levels for K12 schools will fall uh short far short of uh the proposed budget targets set by Governor Ethers. Uh so the governor proposed an increase in special education funding to 60% at a some sufficient level. That means that the state would pay the full 60% regardless of how much that costs. Current funding are at 33% and it's called a sum certain amount of funding meaning they allocate a certain amount of bud money in their budget and if spending is higher then that percentage is lower. So
086um the the current percentage as of June 2025 is 30.64%. Uh meaning that local schools need to make up the difference. Uh the committee has proposed an increase to 35% in 2526 and 37 a.5% in 2627 but it still would remain at that some certain amount. So those figures would likely be lower. Um Ricetown annually transfers over a million dollars from the general fund to cover special education costs that are not funded by the state and federal dollars. An increase here would reduce the transfer amount and from that general fund to create create predictable and spendable revenue in our budget. So if if we were funded at the governor's proposal that likely would have created about a half a million dollars in our budget that we could have done some really great things for for
087staff and students. Um the joint finance committee has proposed an increase in reimbursement rate of the high cost special education formula which reimbures um costs on a per student basis that are over $30,000. In that program, districts pay for the first $30,000 and then the amount above that is reimbured at 24%. The committee has proposed increasing that reimbursement to 50% in 2526 and 90% in 2627. So in the current budget, uh our high cost special education was $44,560. So this increase would create roughly $40,000 in in revenue. So falling far short of of what um the governor had proposed. Uh the committee is also looking to provide no increase to general state aid, meaning that the entire $325 per pupil increase that's in state statute would be funded by local property taxes. Um so as
088we appear to be getting closer to approved budget at the state level, it fails miserably to address the budget needs of K12 schools across the state. So, wish I had better news and maybe I should have gone first so Craig could have uh you know highlighted us at the end, but uh maybe next time. So, we will bring the proposed budget um to you um at the July workshop um and we'll start looking through that process. We will still have a a balanced budget um but it's looking a little lesser than we had hoped. Well, now yeah, sorry to deflate the balloon there a little bit, but um upcoming meetings. So, we have July uh meeting schedule. So, uh Wednesday, July 9th, and I um have received back everything on the um question for the
089next meeting and it will be the 23rd. So we keep the workshop July 9th and the 23rd will be the regular meeting. All right. Then agenda item C6C uh future agenda items. So motion to bring future agenda items to the floor. Motion bring future items to the floor. I'll second. All those in favor. Anyone opposed? Discussion on any future agenda items. One thing I want to note, uh, when we met last, um, we got a short time. We were having a discussion about open enrollment improvements. We talked about bringing that back up in June. Um, I think July might be too late now. Is that out the window for the year? Okay. Yeah. We we would we would look at bringing that conversation back in around the January time frame when we set the seats.
090Okay. Uh for next year. Um and maybe we'd look at bringing that slightly earlier to kind of talk about options. Other items All right, move on to agenda item seven, executive session. The board of education may have found a motion duly made and carried convene in close session under one or more the exemptions provided in section 19.851 Wisconsin statute for the following purposes pursuant to Wisconsin state statute section 19.851C 851C considering employment promotion compensation or performance evaluation data of any employee over which governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility specifically to discuss matters related to district administrator. You're looking for a motion to go into close session as noted. I'll make a motion. Second. All right. So, we're going into close session. Roll. Roll call vote. Will um Nikki? Yes. Don, yes. Meinda, yes. Tiffany,
091yes. Um Kelly, yes. Jason, yes. Yes. 7:22. their last carry your own table. I mean, there's likely not going to be any. Yeah, I would think so long.
