002a video from reid leclair as well my favorite part of trees for tomorrow is when we went down to the lake we got our nice big canoes and we got to pick our partners which is also pretty cool when we went to the lake we didn't we didn't really want to tip because and we didn't because you know we took 30 minutes on how to not tip while you're in a canoe and also we saw a bald eagle that like smacked and just clawed a fish and the fishing room not a chance because you know the ball he goes too fast we learned a canoe and use teamwork to not drift out to the middle of the lake we also learn how to get ready to go like unloading the canoe from the trailer getting

003your life jackets on and getting a paddle we also did a night hike a compass hike and teamwork activities at research tomorrow we held it oh and we also held a snake and a turtle we learned how to use teamwork to sit to succeed in the wilderness my favorite part of transfer to modernism hello my name is jameson and i'm here to talk to you about trees for tomorrow my favorite part of treats for tomorrow was when we played vodka monster it involved a lot of teamwork and solutions it was fun even when we failed a lot of times we also did other team activities that during that day after a day we tried it again and both groups did way better we also did other activities like fire building and a compass hike where

004we learned how to use a compass which was very helpful because a lot of people might not have that skill the other hike was a night hike where we tested our senses and a lot of people thought that was interesting because they didn't really know how i was like how that worked and thank you scover for letting me go to treats for tomorrow there were a lot of cool things i choose for tomorrow some of the things were canoeing the compass hike and paper making there were a lot of other things too my favorite had to be firefighting we were split into five groups and had to find firewood in the woods by ourselves we also had three matches newspaper and bridge park this taught us how to work as a team and a valuable

005wilderness skill after we built the fire we boiled water our fire started to spread so we had to dump all of our water off trees for tomorrow was an amazing experience we did so many fun and educational activities at trees for tomorrow if i had to pick one of my favorite activities it would be the compass hike everybody was split into six groups of six or seven people and we were sent to the bus where we were sent to the woods and had to get back to the bus we learned so many valuable skills like how to use a compass and how to communicate with our friends along the way we stopped to identify trees insects and some plants it was so cool seeing all the birds fly overhead one example was when we saw

006a bald eagle some of the other activities that we did include the night hike canoeing fire skills and making paper it was super fun hanging out with all my friends and how and learning how to have useful survival skills in general transfer tomorrow was one of the best and most educational experiences i've ever had we did so many fun and awesome things that transform tomorrow like team building going to a blog and a lot of others but out of all of them my favorite part was the compass bike we got sent out to the middle of the woods and had to try to get back to the bus using only a compass we got sent out in groups with one teacher and all the kids had to do the napkin biking people got to have

007sauerkraut kids on fight to keep up our strength all the activities were awesome we learned a lot like how to make a player how to help each other and we had so much fun i wish that we could go back thank you school board do you have any questions i got a question for you yeah so tonight later in the meeting okay we have a proposal to send next year's fifth grade class the trees for tomorrow okay after it's almost the same program you did this year right so would you if you were sitting on the board would you recommend that we let next year's fifth grade class any other questions thank you did the teachers have anything do you have anything for bethany i think it's his company thank you for doing it i

008didn't know you had something else to say to us thanks yes thank you okay very good thank you and our sixth grade is to go in three weeks in three weeks our sixth grade will go because they missed it last year and then began the school year they missed it ahead so they're policy representative now would you like to yes tim banik is here you know tim doesn't always work with us directly but he's one of the older apps that he's available to call this evening and explain why we use viola and the services they offer okay all right thank you how can i beat that last presentation right i guess my question to the board is how would you have responded if they would say because there's competition you know i'm on grade level

009so they would have said no we don't recommend that going okay well thank you for uh allowing me some time here i just i'm here to try to present some of the features about neola maybe a bit of a reset because it's been a while since you did drafting when you started as a school district with neola policies and also to entertain any questions that you might have i am across the bay and the other side was superintendent in the school district of marinette so i work with school districts that are north of highway 29 and then also to the east of highway 51 or 39 as is called some areas so here we go what is neola niola actually began in ohio 40 years ago and that's why that weird name me ola what

010in the world does that stand for well it is north east ohio learning associates with that that they initially started with all kinds of different educational consulting services that they started with but then they grew into more of a specialty just like the medical profession we were talking about earlier and focused really on policies and administrative guidelines and accompanying company forms so we work with over 1 000 well with yeah it's over 1 540 school districts in six different states wisconsin being one of them so over 30 years of service here in the state of wisconsin we have six offices in wisconsin policies specifically for wisconsin are written or approved by davis and kielthau out of these are attorneys out of the green bay office and i have a little asterisk there because i understand

011that you as a board were utilizing davis and keophou for legal counsel a number of years back so that same law firm is actually scouring all of the new laws that come out at the state and federal level and then they look at the policies that school boards across the state of wisconsin have and ask the question what do we need to do to change the language in those policies so that the language aligns with the law that way you can be assured that your your policies are aligned with the most current laws we also use the second bullet point there paterson running lewis and lacey they also are out of the green bay office and then staff council of neola as well by the way if you have any questions as we go here

012just let me know in 2016 we started a new partnership with board docs bordox is a digital company i don't know if you can see the small print there this is your paperless governance solution so when you started you probably had piles of paper that were two or three inches thick of all these different paper copies of policies and every time there was an update there'd be yet another one or two inch pile of paper that was very cumbersome pages would get lost or torn or who knows so our president at the time said we really need to move into the digital age with board docs so we are actually two separate companies but we work together and i don't know as a board if you're using board docs uh directly or if you are

013yeah i'm not sure or uh do they have this on our website so they all have access to bordox and they're used to that we don't use it when we weren't meeting but it's on there for the public to check on our website yeah okay then wisconsin districts out of the 400 excuse me out of 421 school districts in the state of wisconsin neola represents 294 of them and that number has grown very very rapidly even though we don't even have a sales force no sales department all of the associates like myself are retired superintendents so we know a bit about school operations and school governance so we are the ones really that are getting calls from other school districts saying hey we would love to hear more about this policy service that you provide

014that's the way it works we really don't actively solicit and then the reason why we have grown so much since 2013 you know almost 200 school districts and growth number one there increased philosophy of state and federal law and rule changes i'll tell you if you're not a trained attorney it is really really difficult to keep up on all the law changes that are going out whether it be at the state or federal level having a service like ours where we have trained attorneys scouring through all these new laws and making the needed changes in your policies gives a peace of mind to school boards and the broader school community the second item there it's an effective liability risk management tool if you don't have language in your policies that is aligned with the most

015current law i think you know what that means not good for the district not good for pr purposes not good for potential monetary damages last one districts reprior we prioritize their board administrative time uh i don't know about you kyle when you received your administrative degree but i only had one class in school one that's not enough to prepare us to do school attorney work so that's another big factor that schools really rely on us to do that for them it's just not only do we not have the training as superintendents of school districts but the amount of time to do that work would be much more time than what attorneys are doing because they know what they're looking for they know how to reword things in policy language your school district you've met a

016client since december 2007 so thank you for that policy updates are something that you have been accustomed to over the years because two times each year about every six months there will be a policy update so your representative who right now is gene born and by the way the reason she is not here i'm not sure if you know this but her mother is very sensitive to contagions and jean is the major caregiver now of her mother so she just wants to avoid as much risk as possible with the public she's still doing everything virtual in terms of her her work so that's why i'm here if you're wondering why me i'm no better than gene it's just that's i told her i would be glad to come in and do this so for the

017policy act updates the first item there it's a proactive and systemic process to stay aligned with the current laws the next item there are at least two updates per year there sometimes will be special updates you probably remember title ix policy which was about a gazillion pages long not the most favorite policy so every once in a while the federal government especially will come out with some mandate where you have to have a policy in place that was one example where we had to push out a policy that school districts had to get on the books get the board to approve them annual posting and notice update i'm not sure if you're aware that but every summer or early fall it's usually in the summer we provide an updated list of all the legal required

018things that need to be posted by you as the school district to the public a lot of school districts call this the back to school ad that goes out in august well with all the law changes that are going on we have that listing and provide that on a yearly basis the last item there annual student and parent handbook update this is something too that we we update the student handbook template that we have it may not be to be very similar to what you have but ours is aligned with all the policies so what i did when i was in marinette is i took that student parent handbook i took the template from neola and i gave it to all of our principals and asked them to compare that neola template to their current

019student handbook and they found there were some voids some voids that were actually legal issues so they used that as a tool to help guide the development and the revisions of student handbooks which you as a board need to approve every year so these are some intangible things that we have as part of our package for the update service that we provide the policy update service itself you're here but i'm sure you're very much attuned to that but it all starts with the school attorneys uh actually let me back up sometimes it starts with you case in point i meet with 33 clients different school districts they will often times say to me hey tim can you bring this idea to your school attorneys we want to check into a new policy or maybe some

020ideas for changing the language of our current policy and not always but sometimes when i take that forward when we meet with our school attorneys they take that into consideration so when you think of that process going on across the whole state of wisconsin we actually have almost 300 school districts providing some input as to ideas of what they need for policies anyway our school attorneys uh head that up there's an on-site visit by the neola associate unfortunately it hasn't been on-site all the time because of covet but that's our intent and then we make the option selections usually with whoever we meet with usually it's a superintendent sometimes it's a superintendent and a board member and then once the initial options selection is done we take it to either a board committee for their

021purview and then going to the full board now there are other variations of that but that's a typical process as to how the policy proposal for the new language goes through the the chain of command the number three review by the board everything that is going to be changed in terms of a non-technical change like spelling or grammar that's not uh that does not need to be approved because you have a bylaw which allows kyle your superintendent to make technical corrections as long as he informs you what those changes are but he doesn't need to have you formally approve them number four approved changes are then uploaded to the website and that's what we were talking about earlier you do have a public website that anybody that's a school district member can go to or

022anyone in the u.s that has access or the world that has access to the internet they can see what your policies are so there's transparency for how you govern your school district and that's a very important factor especially in today's political climate other considerations uh there are basic and advanced keyword searches in bordox the digital platform when i retired in 2016 that was before board docs and that's one thing i regret about neola is when i was superintendent we didn't have the digital version so if i wanted to find some policy or policies on a particular issue that was going on in the district i had to go through the table of contents and that usually was pretty good at finding what i needed but sometimes the title the policy didn't really match the issue

023that i was trying to find answers to so with this it's just like a google search i guess if you will you type in a few keywords or one keyword and boom here comes the list of policies that all relate to that particular issue that is a huge time saver i use it all once a week is that isn't that nice to have that at your fingertips number two i'm sorry were you done calendar no she's just she's not i wouldn't find it number two online policies are continuously updated so yes what the public sees is a result of what you as a board have approved as the policy update language gets reviewed by superintendent and or a board member whoever meets i don't know who does meet in the initial visit kyle isn't just

024you with the update here for the update just for the yeah we can say i'm cheating born i come in who do i mean disney and sue and cherry's now also okay so the committee right away sorry got it okay so they they come up with a recommendation the recommendations for option selections and then they bring that to all of you as the full board number three i already touched on somewhat uh there is policy feedback from 290 plus other wisconsin districts and then number four a huge one there i mean the legal assurance to know that you've got the school and trained attorneys that are behind this work and that you can have a peace of mind knowing that that language is there to help protect the district and that smaller print down at

025the bottom i don't know if you've heard this before but neola will provide legal assistance if there is a claim that the district's policies do not currently reflect what is required by state or federal law so there is some backing support by our company for that these are the different sections zeros are bylaws that's for you folks the board that's what indicates how you govern yourself the rest of the district that's the 1000 down to the 9000 series now there are three areas that cover different employee groups the 1000 administration the 3000 which is your professional staff those people that need to have licenses in order to do their profession and number four classified staff typically classroom aides are paraprofessionals custodial those type of positions that don't need a license the ones three and four

026thousands have quite a few that are similar but there are some that are very very different for example a teacher hiring practice by state statute is different than the hiring practice for a support staff member the termination of a support staff member is different than a professional staff member the development and approval of job descriptions for those different classifications of employees is also different so i wish i could say that the one thousand three thousand four thousand are all the same they're not they're they there are many i will have to say that many are the same but uh there still are some distinguishing differences according to the laws that our school attorneys felt it was best to segregate them into these different employee groups now this slide is a bit rhetorical you've already made

027the decision as a school board because i'm not here as a sales pitch it's just kind of a refresher as far as what our services are all about you've already taken the proactive side you are going to make sure that there are legally aligned abundant policies to properly address unexpected or extraordinary situations you know that's one of the major benefits of having policies in place because as kyle knows there are things that happen in this school district that he may not have ever experienced in his past so what do you do you look in the policy manual is there something there to give some guidance that's why it is important to have uh the number of policies we have and i know i've had clients say to me you know you've got 420 policies why

028so doggone many well that's the reason you likely don't have that many because some of the policies maybe just don't make sense and most neola clients don't take every policy that we have to offer but i'd say most districts do take around 80 to 90 of every policy template that we have the other alternative here for this slide was used for clients that are just looking to get the service but i know of some school districts that have done this the second option they're reactive and it's not pretty you know that's when a board develops policies in response to some critical negative incident and that's uh that's not good i know you all can understand the negative ramifications for that so with that that's my spiel do you have any questions yes sir all right

029i have a couple questions first of all um does every law have to have a promise no what 48 years i have never worked in an organization has so many offices hospitals and healthcare are considered very complex we used to spend our time trying to reduce the number of policies not to add to that and we said groups that would just we would committees that would go through flip stuff off and i recognize the issue with legislature but as from my background i'll use this example medicare the medicare started off in the 60s with 24 24 rules of regulations okay today it's over a hundred thousand but we don't have a hundred thousand rates in policy you know so what i find frustrating is that you'll have it'll be a positive as an example students

030can't bring alcohol on campus they're going to be another policy teachers can't bring alcohol on campuses there will be a third policy outsiders can't bring powell without multiple camps why don't you just have one policy alcohol is not allowed on campus i mean the paper just keeps getting thicker and thicker and to be out of control and does every rule and regulation of the fed of the state have to become a policy you know and then you'll have as we go through our policy there'll be a policy that we get today and then six months later we get the policy again but with one or two words changed and i i have no idea how anybody ever finds world policies are because there are so many policies i have no idea how the pocket there's

031hundreds of them 420 in the in the town yeah i suspect we have all 420 but i mean why also do all policies have to go to the board because in most organizations there are board policies and then there are operational policies which the ceo or the superintendent is responsible for come down so the board doesn't have to look at every policy but that has been told to me that we do now i also serve on the nwtc board okay i've done that and i've been on that board for 12 years i probably have seen no more than a handful of policies come across the board's desk so they must be as a state organization state education organization they must be required to have policies too but all those policies don't go to the board

032of directors so can you help me because i am really lost in this area okay well in our service we do have our policies and yes there are a lot 420 possible or maybe a few less or more not right supporting the policy is really for you at the way we have it set as a board those are your dictates or mandates that must be observed for all operations in the school district i think what you're referring to in your example about procedures for example instead of policy we then have a set of administrative guidelines that go through the 1000 series to the 9 000 so we don't have any further bylaws for you as a board those are your own procedures that you could develop but the 1000 to 9000 administrative guidelines are really

033procedures and they are there to support the operations of the board's policies the administrative guidelines unless the board wants to are given the authority is given to the superintendent to take charge of developing and approving those so that's how we have our separated and then those guidelines have forms that are templates to use for many many different issues that come up in the operation of a school that you can use for your own office in administering forms collecting data and etc so tim the way we do it right now is if it's a technical change or a grammatical change i change it and i put it in my reports and board of these policies were updated for those reasons the other ones come to the board as having been reviewed by the committee and then

034they check it twice we have two meetings and then they approve it the second one for the final review and when they have that batch of policies if they want to pull one out to discuss it and not prove it in the batch style we can and then that one we analyze and make decisions on as a whole group i think it's about as efficient as we could be that's what i'm trying to say yeah the technical corrections are very as you were saying one or two words maybe there was a misspelling maybe there was a different word that didn't change the meaning of the policy but it still was something the attorneys felt would enhance the value so again help me understand my life i'll go back to my alcohol on why can't we

035just have one policy alcohol is not allowed on this campus why do we need four you're the client you can do whatever you want however if you do that it's going to take more time in my opinion i think it would take more time to sort through the new updates that come in and sometimes there may be back to your operation why would you make foreign because in some cases among those different groups that you listed before there are some legal issues that need to be disaggregated between the different groups whether it be students or whether it be professional staff support staff administration so you couldn't have just one policy says this so this this is not a lot of parenting so i just applies everybody again you can do that you're the client we

036will do whatever you would want i'm just saying that it would likely be more time consuming by going a different pattern or route when new every six months a new batch of policies comes in so now you have to do to review and now the neola warranty is no longer standing behind behind that if the district is going to have district specific or customized language and combining policies together into one of different employee groups and students that would be more risk on the district's part so basically what you just said is the you don't want back the organization if you change anything further you know so therefore i should just really shut up now and just take every policy that comes down to the fighting session no because if i change anything i've just now

037torn up our warranty well let me give you one example of what another board that i know of that has brought a concern as you just brought up how they deal with that at the school board meeting so let's say you have uh three policies one one one one three one one one and four one one one okay so that's your administrators your teachers and your support staff they have one reading they look at one of those policies if all three are the same but they're not always the same that's the tricky part about this but if they are all three exactly the same they read them as this is just one policy rather than three individual at the approval if you're looking just to speed things along at the board they read the whole

038policy at the meeting no no no that would be going out in their board package that would be going on their board packet right and the inference is when the board members receive that they would see those three numbers meaning that they're all the same and in fact kyle have you ever shown the summarized version it's like a sentence or a short paragraph that describes the changes for each policy when the board gets as they get it with the folded items and with the box that do those can you get selected so they did the whole thing we don't give them a short version though okay because i'm not sure i can show you that uh when you know i can call you tomorrow or whatever i can show you where to find that and

039that what i'm explaining gives an example of that so it has a paragraph and it will say okay one one one one three one one one four one one one they're all basically the same one paragraph that means you got three policies that are all the same that's just an easy way to set the framework when you get that summary to identify we can streamline this in our review process now if the policies are different it'll have one one one one separate from the three one one one because there must be some law that makes it important to have them separated because there are different statutes regulating that particular policy so does every law no if that were the case there would be probably millions so how do you do certain which laws and policies

040our school attorneys have been asked that question by us as as representatives and the the usual response that they give is they try to take the things that are the most urgent and the most common these attorneys that i expressed work with us they not they don't just work for niola they also work with school districts in wisconsin as their legal counsel so they hear about different issues that are popping up and they either say you know what this is pretty extreme that we better get a new policy or we better look at the current policy we better revise it because this is what they learned when they work with other school districts on legal matters that's how a lot of this occurs and the other thing is we have five other states so sometimes

041some of the things that might happen in another state triggers a response from the wisconsin team as far as is this something wisconsin should also be looking at so again you're broad broadening the scope to see whether or not this could help our wisconsin clients as well i think damn too it would be safe to say that in our situation in the public schools we're dealing with public dollars which presents a different dynamic than in a private uh enterprise and we're also dealing with minors and i think it's important that we have those legal safeguards built in for those two reasons especially yes confidentiality is a big one especially with minors all the special ed laws yes you know it would be a lot easier would if we only had 30 policies but would that

042be doing justice for our students our staff and the community at large attorneys think that it it would be styling them short any other questions i have to do we use on the student parent candidate [Music] any other questions for two i would just follow up with guys response not yet but he and i were talking earlier that may be something that would be the next step if you so choose to do that just a curious question are those um add-ons to the service costs or are they they're included in the package there would be no additional charge for what for where your status is right now no additional charge thank you so much for coming out we appreciate it thank you you're welcome we will hear next from [Music] um cool hey everybody how

043you doing all right sweet um thanks for having us we do a lot of cool stuff we can stand here all night so just buckle in and it's going to be a while um i was going to have to now blow up some stuff to like really get you guys hooked and stuffed and stuff but the carpets new and then it's just a big mess could you show trump could you do some basketball for us uh that would be it's honestly all in the evidence though okay um we'll be kind of brief uh we'll just introduce ourselves as we're talking about our specific section i'm jason margraff i'm high school science i'm the science department chair currently until i every one of these guys into doing it um here we go this thing you probably

044can't read it much on the left is like the science experience that we all had this is like the drill and kill the sit and gets like here's your bucket we'll fill it for you go learn your science it's cool the right hand side is like where we are going now this is the you'll hear lots of jargony stuff tonight about inquiry and phenomenon and wonderment and i like to call this the thrill and chill like we fire them up about something and then we give them the work and we just kind of relax like get to work here's your bucket future tools you've built okay um just so you know you'll hear this stuff coming up tonight that's kind of what's going on it's been about 10 years probably since we've had this paradigm

045shift and like the pedagogy how we teach science um you'll hear about ngss a lot tonight when you hear that term over and over and over and over and over and over again this is what it is it's a 3d model right we have the science and engineering practices this is how scientists do stuff and we have the disciplinary core ideas that's the content standards that we're kind of familiar with and then the cross-cutting concepts again this is stuff that we're going to see in really all of our curriculum whether it's here in other math classes or engineering or stuff in bail stuff or or in tech or whatever um so that's that we'll pass it down the line we'll just do our levels and we'll talk about how it's working for whatever um i

046do want to encourage you guys if you have questions during this i hope we can talk to each other hope we're not talking at you guys just let us know you talk about stuff though um i'm beth nicola i teach fifth grade science actually um this is megan horvath who put a slide together for our k through two um kiddos and a lot of again their lessons are developed around ngss and it's really aimed again to create wonder and excitement about the natural world so again it's not a scripted lesson plan it's not a scripted you know um here's what you're gonna do here's your materials like jason said here's your bucket and this is what you do step by step but it's really just you know giving them the materials and their discovery which

047is a lot of fun um they explore the world around them using lessons um they use a lot of questioning questioning is really big whether a teacher gives the question to the kiddos and now you solve that and they we do a lot of writing there's actually those cross-cutting standards there's a lot of writing in their curriculum as well um i'll explain a little bit more megan has the um they began to use the cer model i'll explain that a little bit more in the next slide um so some of their examples of their explorations and activities that they do in the younger grades are noodle towers um solution to a classroom problem water bottle holders tools to reach the soap so you know here's your problem here's your question now you come up with

048the solution snowball launcher for shelters unit projects observing weather building rafts for motion observing plants and animals in nature so so those are some of the activities they do in the younger grades in fifth grade and i should also say their curriculum i'm sorry i should tell you that is hope mifflin harcourt dimensions which is the same curriculum we use in grades three through five our lessons again are developed around ngss and they're really designed to create wonder and excitement about five years ago you remember we went to csa and there was a guy there by the name of paul anderson do you remember going to that many of you go to that all right and he was like this big guru from bozeman um university of montana bozeman and he said the biggest thing

049that you can do for kiddos is just to create wonder and he brought this wonder stick with him and it did something when he moved it and he never told us how it worked but it's that was his goals like your goal is to treat wondering kids and then you know it kind of leaves teachers a little bit vulnerable because we don't always have the answers to all of those questions but it gets kids interested and excited um so we moved away from like jason said our scripted step-by-step experiments i know like we would get um you know our scientific method you know here's your you created lab reports what was it all the lab reports we did right but here's step one here's step two here's step three and we move more toward using

050a c-e-r model so the c stands for claim the e stands for evidence and then the r for reasoning so c stands for what claim claim yes so the students make a claim so that's their hypothesis right in the old days they make their claim about a question or a wonder that sometimes they come up with themselves or the teacher presents to them and then they design their experiment then to either to support their claim to prove their claim was correct and then we they gather the evidence the e is evidence so that's their evidence gathering to support their claim then after their evidence gathering they reason with all of it and they decide okay did my data support my plane or did it not support my claim and a lot of times they wanted

051to support their plane because they want science to be nice and black and white and that's not how it works and that really bothers them sometimes but we try to tell them that's what a scientist does you know a scientist doesn't create the perfect you know get perfect experiment done the first time through so that's a big learning process for our kids some of the examples that um that we do with our claims evidence reasoning is fourth grade they are um asked to create hearing devices so they're given tools and said okay you create the best hearing device you can third graders design um a way to walk on air so they're giving lots of balloons and tape they're giving things to see if they can walk on there in fifth grade this year we

052grew some plants in the greenhouse and then we designed an experiment to test what happens when some basic need is taken away so what happens when water is taken away what happens when air is safe and awake or sunlight so those are different things that we've done in our upper elementary assessments so you're going to see our assessments with ngss use words like model support and argument measure and graph to provide evidence makes up make observations represent data so it's it's gone away from the you know here's your memorize these science concepts and then we'll test you on it so it's gathering information and learning how to present that information how to graph it um how to put it in a way that supports reclaim and then those science concepts are woven into those investigations

053and modifications to lessons can happen if we see that students aren't really getting that big science you know topic or that science concept we can go back that's what we do in our elementary uh sixth grade science as well as social studies i'm speaking for lincoln too because she is not here today but she's the 7th and 8th grade science teacher um and basically it's just a continuum here kind of we're bridging the gap between what beth and the other elementary teachers do through high school getting them to explore different phenomenon real world situations and have them do different trials and tribulations like right now well you can actually see it we're talking about plate tectonics and earthquakes and so they're responsible for building a structure to withstand an earthquake for about a minute long

054and they've been going through this build stage for about a week analyzing the engineering process behind it making various prototypes and changes to them based off of some things that they've noticed about their own little tests and things and then they go back to the drawing board and they continue it tomorrow we'll actually do the final test but it's just getting them to look and realize and um ask questions about the world around them and then build like the same claims or hypotheses um that they want to explore and tackle um and then we go from there so um some of the stuff that i use in certain in terms of data would just be different tests pre-test post-tests uh starting blocks which are kind of warm-up questions at the beginning of class exit tickets

055to make sure that they're understanding kind of what we did we're getting just basic feedback about how they felt like the build went today reading scores as well i take a look at those specifically to kind of gauge where students are so when we do have reading materials and stuff that's suitable for their age level and then map scores as well as any sort of other informal assessments that we use uh hmh or houghton mifflin hardcore in addition to that um lynn um is just again continuing on what i do um getting them uh let's see exploring phenomenon there's a word again questioning modeling collecting data she deals with a lot of the life sciences and so they're doing i think a big one they do is water quality testing air pollution those types of

056things and giving them to explore questions on their own to drive their lab experiences like beth was saying instead of just doing the traditional here he goes to follow step one step two step three here's some questions to follow it up with it's putting the thinking process and the drive and the learning in their hands and then us almost being facilitators behind that um so i'm sure it's sweet perfect nailed it thank you chad you're welcome um i'll talk again before we turn it over to the brains of the operation over there uh here's just some pictures from this is lynn's lab i know that she did a really cool flower lab with these kiddos again having them kind of do this exploration on their own um they're tasked with this idea and then they

057come up with some ideas with function oftentimes we have this experience before label where they're doing this stuff before they're even told what the stuff is so they can start to have some of their own ideas about what they're actually looking at um effective um briefly about high school stuff these are just our classes offered if we're curious it's a pretty extensive list of things that we make available for our kids considering that it's just two bodies and lynn does teach the environmental science class but janelle and i do have all of these offerings available it's great in a small rural district i think we provide our kids with a great opportunity for a lot of upper level classes and a bunch of really good introductory stuff too that can get them on whatever path

058they choose our curriculum is more varied we have a lot of really important vetting that went on with our last choice in our curriculum so we have from different publishers we have withdrawal hill we have sabas or pearson um we've got the hmh stuff that these guys have as well um but it's all kinds of stuff these days science literacy is not just a great textbook it's about online stuff it's about lab stuff it's what given access to kids all kinds of different technologies okay so those are our offerings they make cool stuff uh data um we're not blessed with the reams of standardized data that ela and math have that's standardized aligned standards online excuse me we have stuff like aspirin att which is cool but it's actually not aligned to our standards at

059all this is not ngss assessments we do use that data to inform our data retreat for act where we prep our kids to do really well in that act test that they take their junior year and it's um it's one reason that we're probably the best performing school in the county almost every year so it does work for us but it's not again aligned to our standards we have a near constant formative assessment we're always on top of our kids and where their learning is at and we then can change our stuff on the go to fulfill those needs um we have really cool adaptive curriculum too that is online which is awesome as kids are doing assessments whether it's informative or some of my online programs the programs can figure out what the kids

060need help with and then it generates more things for them to work on to address their specific needs so that's a zillion years ahead of where things were historically so that's a really powerful tool because it's instantaneous it's not like take a test get it graded get it back four weeks later and then figure out oh i should have done that differently it's like real time our students also work with a lot of data as well of course you can just talk data all night but i did want to point out this is from a bacterial lab here's mr lakey's keyboard there is 12 coverage of the petri dish there after uh day five not bad kyle it's a pretty clean keyboard yeah it looks a few sanitizers that's been washing my hands a lot

061yeah we appreciate that keep that up i would not want to touch the um the girls locker room bubbler apparently that was that was up there a little bit um okay just some more talking points i'll try to be quick we try to maintain good vertical alignment that means like stuff between the stuff that beth is doing should cover stuff that should lead into what they're doing in middle school with chad nguyen that will then be revisited on a level between myself and janelle and then we'll find more depth there we spent some time a couple summers ago making sure that we're appropriately vertically aligned we haven't heard yet about this gradual release of responsibility that's important for us as well basically these kids are given tasks at a little person age and by time

062they get to us they're doing it mostly all on their own if you were to walk into janelle or my class on any given moment in any given day there's a really good chance the kids will be doing all of the work it might look like the teachers are just kind of sitting there it's because the kids are really they're doing the work and that's what we want to do so that's that release of responsibility that's that's like the golden standard to let them get that point for themselves we continue with cer stuff as well they're familiar with that format will get to us um diversity and teaching practices we have lots of um el kids we have lots of kids that are at a different level we have special needs students science is awesome

063we want kids from all levels to be able to access it we can't just dumb it down and try to give them different ways to access it and we have a means of doing that through different types of assessments labs hands-on stuff for all the different types of letters we have we do collaborate with cesa seven we had extensive training last year through half of the year with different observations and then some summer training and that's been very helpful for us we have been working with math to fill some of the covid gaps we have lots of chances for math and science and we take advantage of that now we crank it up even more to again to help fill some of those gaps that we have because of our pandemic time um we clearly

064have a cool new space we've been killing in our new labs and we're utilizing all the space we can and i'm just happy no kids have fallen off their desks because they're higher enough and the floors their floors are over us which is good they'll bounce so it's critical um that's that janelle thank you um my name is janelle hollingshead and i'm a high school science teacher and um this is a list of the engineering science and engineering practices meaning what we want our kids to do so there's content and then they interact with their content through these things and you can see that my room is not like a lecture at the front with desks all facing forward it's a circle and um i sort of mediate where i am like ninth graders i'm

065like in the middle of the circle and like i just edged my way out and out and out and out and out and then um you know my physics class sometimes like like go in the hall we need some space because they because they want to be with each other figuring out the problem together so instead of giving them the question they're creating the questions they'll dive into something they've never seen before and uh it's really hard for them to like start to put something on a whiteboard that they're not sure is totally correct and to be okay with that and to realize that brainstorming is where we just put our ideas out don't worry if it's right or wrong it's okay and then they start going well why do you have that there and

066why did your lab turn out like that and why did you define just divide there when i multiplied and they start to really learn how to solve problems together um as a as like a unit and that the point is not necessarily to memorize lots of vocabulary words the point is can i have the self-esteem to jump into something i've never tried before and give it my best shot can i be secure enough in myself to show my ideas and not worry if they're right or wrong can i listen to my peers and can i can i form very well put questions so that we can figure out what you think and what i think and the difference between that and can we form this model together and basically i teach science the way it's

067historically created so they can literally discover science the way it was discovered it's so exciting i love my job so you know analyzing data we do with our whiteboards why did your data say that why does your data say that constructing explanations well maybe your data says that my data says that because um engaging an argument from evidence well i think that i'm i might have a good idea here because my evidence from my lab and i cite the evidence supports this and then communicating information just what you know so we always start with a presentation so they are doing public speaking every day there's a presentation every day representing their ideas um so all that to say here's some pictures of the stuff that we that we've been doing um here they had the

068problem um they had to drop an egg and have it survive and um and this was after like a concept where we learned about forces and pitches and pulls okay if something how can it survive and um these kids right up here with their little contraption um this is the contraption they made they were so proud of it they had like this rubber band to try to elongate the time of collision and i looked at them and i said girls you guys are engineers and they got so excited that they wanted me to put this in the display case which i did and then they made this little tag themselves it says future engineers bella dasha naomi and ella this is why i come to work every day so we we we dropped it out

069the third floor window but then there was snow they decided that was too easy for the egg so then they decided they wanted to do it in the atrium and uh and they liked to like name and decorate their eggs and then um this is chemistry and we were doing these little mini explosions um here and uh with hydrogen and oxygen and then by the end they realized they got the loudest pop when it was um two parts hydrogen one part oxygen and oh my goodness how do we know water is h2o this is how we know water is h2o and so they get to like you know i know the end game but i'm presenting stuff that will get them there and then in physics they had to decide where in this ladder they

070were going to drop um a string connected to a spring connect to an egg and they had to do calculations that we had derived by previous labs to figure out how much string to add so that the egg would just touch the ground without breaking and it was super dramatic and super fun and we got one we got many groups that um that got their eggs just touched that ground so science and engineering oh and um i use this program called formative that helps me um use data from from students to adjust my teaching so i go um how do you feel about elevator problems i'm writing for the quiz i need more practice oh i'm ready for the quiz okay we're gonna have a quiz soon guys because you've decided um this is an

071example of what i can see when this is the elevator problems that they're working on and of course i i can hide their names if i want to but i can see what all of them are doing um at like real-time moment and so i can go oh my goodness this you know i need to check in with these kids and i can really have a good sense over when it's time for assessment and when it's time for more practice i also just ask them too sometimes do you want to do more whiteboard problems or do you want to go an individual individual practice or is it time for quiz you feel good we're ready to move on so this is really vital to what i do okay sweet okay so next slide oh so

072you you back into things like periodical table and and physics uh equations and that sort of thing you don't address them directly like you know when i had science sure we learned all you know we learned a periodic table and we learned you know equations and physics and we learned some organic chromosomes but you've seen me backing into this method you used yeah the cool thing is like they start a unit with something that they're curious that they can be curious about and then unlike us where we were given the equations like these are the equations we're going to use they derive they create they come up with every equation with a lab that they created which is amazing and so much fun to see them own those equations and because they make those equations

073for labs that they created they know what situations that equation is good for and what situations that equation doesn't apply for which is super important for understanding equations and then we do something at the end which is a practicum where we use those equations to solve a problem so you think they're adequately paired you know let's say they go on to college and you know for instance uh you know organic chemistry is something that just do you think you know this this method had a comparison for taking classes well i've gotten some students that are in college right now that are doing well so that's good super and they learn all the same equations and they can solve all the same problems that we that we solved um they just get there a different way

074and in a way that i feel is more impactful and in a way that instead of just learning about science they are scientists and engineers you know during the process um but but all the equations that we learned when we were kids in school they not only learn but they they create themselves from labs that they create and you have time to do all this it turns out if you if you teach students to be really self-sufficient they learn material faster than you ever dreamed because they truly understand it and so at the beginning like by 9th graders it takes a while to kind of teach them how to do this but once i happen to get in chemistry and physics they are just zooming faster than i was ever able to lecture before um

075yeah and it's yeah it's a really fun way to to do it i think and i think impactful and permanent like when i have kids back like the next year they have 80 to 90 retention of what they learned the year prior because they figured it out all themselves so i'm not reviewing with them when i see them the next year we're just continuing continuing forward which i i like i like the permanent part of the learning that makes sense yeah because i think you know memorizing for instance oh a lot of chemistry is just simply and memorizing them yeah and you know i've forgotten all it's about right question i was i was an old biology teacher i taught biology for two years in high school and then i realized i wasn't good at

076teaching so i didn't do any more so this is totally different i i suspect that many parents were taught biology chemistry physics in the standardized way how do we communicate to the parents so they have an understanding of what's going on because if i was a parent i'd be saying excuse me when are you going to learn about the nucleic acids and the dna structures and all that stuff and to just kind of piggyback on what you're all saying they give to that knowledge for sure but the difference and we're so thankful that we can just get on google and find the stuff anytime we want to but we're just building the resiliency and the permanence in the memory back into the same stuff so we do get to that and i understand parents concerns

077because it doesn't look like what it looked like to them but we do get there and there is a place for some of that stuff i still talk a whole cab you still go over stuff they're still you know they plug and chug on some things too for sure um you just have a different route to get there so um that's that's where we start with that i mean the content gets there and we still have access instantly to whatever we want on the google machine but we're really we're breeding this this resilient scientific minded um real real real scientist and i've been doing i've been doing my best to have newsletters out sent on a regular basis with pictures and um just a description of what we're doing and what the kids are learning

078and how that happens um and also i think like i think the kids understand it and and explain that to their parents um as well and i think also um what was i going to say um [Music] oh i lost it i lost it but i do understand where you're going just because the shift in math has taken that it's taken a really long time i don't want to say to train parents but to get parents to realize it's okay and they're still it's hard for them to understand right now we're gonna get to the same end result i'm gonna teach them how to do a long division and whatnot but we're just going to take a few extra steps to get there so it is something that i do think we have to work

079on is is getting that information out to parents and training i think one thing that challenges our kids and our parents really is our kids fail at stuff sometimes and that's awesome we want them to we want them to make mistakes like historically our best kids they never made a mistake we never made mistakes as the smartypants is in our classes but now our kids do what we want to and parents don't want to see that sometimes they don't they can't wrap their heads around the fact that our kids can't be at this time sure sure and we're still trying to develop those kiddos as they're coming up now but as they matriculate now through the stuff that we're doing they're starting to realize that that failure's a good thing so that's another paradigm shift

080and just one last question there's such a thing but the national association of science teachers is there is there data to compare outcomes in science the knowledge of the various based upon the way we're doing science teaching now and what are we doing i mean because i think we this must feel like probably chapter 94 because when i was in high school we were just starting pssc physics a new way of teaching physics when i taught biology it was bsa biological study associated coming a whole new way of teaching biology so i'm certainly there's another ambition does anybody capture data to see if all this stuff works i'm not assuming it doesn't work i find that the problem as a student that probably i would find this much better than going home memorize the gas

081laws honestly i don't know that there's a standardized like science version of what they had gathered they might do this research to see yeah yes so the curriculum that i use isn't actually a non-for non-for-profit curriculum that was created by an educational researcher and then high school teachers together and they have this thing called i don't remember what the name of it but it's the physics concept inventory and it was based off of all of the misconceptions that people had about physics when they graduated college with a degree in physics and so like this this concept inventory was created um based on that data and um teachers that teach the with with what is called modeling um uh we we have been giving that that that assessment to our kids and um what what often

082sells teachers to this method is they give it to their kids when they've taught traditionally and then and then they change to this way of of teaching and then they see that like they their kids do a ton better because they understand the physics um better with this method versus the memorization kind of way that we were often taught we were given equations and we plugged and checked i mean that's that's that's that's what we did and you can do that but like it's like uh one guy said um he his dog can sit in by by he knows three different languages so his dog can sit in any of these three languages but it doesn't mean this dog understands those languages you know what i mean he just knows to sit when he hears

083that and that's the difference um instead of teaching kids this is how you solve this problem i'm going to show it to you i want you to memorize it and then i might alter it just a little bit and then we'll say good job versus you create that knowledge you own that knowledge and now you can be creative with that knowledge um it's just deeper do you see more excitement in science because when i was in school i hated it from elementary all the way up i took my one required course in high school i got good enough grades so i could continue to play sports i hated it what you guys are talking about now it's like man i want to vacuum science can i go back and start in fifth grade and work

084my way up and do science so do you see more excitement about science than what you did before yes i mean i've been at this now for like oh geez 19 years and we kind of started off doing that stuff then but i've seen that paradigm in my teaching career and it's it's it's it's a it's fun like we like it the kids like it they're engaged we have relationships like it's a it's still teacher student but we're still all peers in science and it's definitely fun for i think most kids you'll still have some some grumpy ones but you're going to have those in anything you know one of those circuits so my daughter is in chad's class i was gonna say my son too i teach science he i've tried i've tried to

085get him to like it forever he hates science i'm sorry nothing against you guys as teachers he loves you guys as teachers but it's just not his big it's not his thing um but with that said i mean he's learning and he's doing well he's having fun in class i got to sit there and pull teeth to get it out of him but um he's liking it so you're going to have a small percent of kids that just aren't geared to it but i think as a whole they are definitely i'm sorry to over talk a little bit no that's but see my daughter sadie's in his classes she had a chance to skip school tomorrow to go watch gibraltar play but she wants to be at school because she wants to present her science

086yep things she's doing so she's really excited about this so i can say logan today he just got so excited over um like what sugar looked like inside of like under a microscope and so he was like whoa it's so cool yeah we're going to learn about why that looks like that under that microscope i do think kids are kids do enjoy it and they look forward to it and we try to do our best to get that excitement out of them and and uh weep into it even though there's some fear in heaven with the graceful really gets excited and like in a non-threatening right that's a big part of where you're right you try to maintain a low stress environment to still be able to like again have this kind of trial on

087yourself but without having no job it's a safe place did you have something to do with um do you still let kids take the merc periodic tools i think it would be fun to come back to school because you're all fun teachers but i think science is way hard now that's yeah and the last thing in case you didn't don't watch pioneer news i asked jason about basketball because uh your name is known as money margaret and he does fast trick basketball shots every week i think there's got to be a little science involved in those oh that's awesome so thank you so much okay did we have any guest signs that wanted to speak yesterday [Music] you know with all the different rules and regulations that came about a lot of them i just

088wasn't comfortable putting put them through and there was also some things that i realized um when we had the half year off you know that some things that i was lacking doing as a father or paying attention to what was going on with my son how he was learning and you know when he was you know kind of thrown back into the house you know full time all week long you start to notice things that you know you're maybe not satisfied with and i you know i could point the finger at other people where really it's you know coming back at me um and what i was doing so that seventh grade year it was really important to me to get into his mind and change the way he looked at things and how he

089approached life and how you know how to become a man i guess and take responsibility and then see you know i i really pushed um i wanted him to see a lot of the hypocrisy i'm not speaking of individuals in this room talking about like higher higher levels you know where all this information comes from you know because the truth comes from the same place the lies come from it's you know it's they're all birds of the same feather you know we're just kind of you know we're the one that you know has to shout each other down and try to convince the other who's right or who's wrong and really we've all been betrayed here you know and um i i just i guess i identify as the group of people that just wants

090to really just move forward and see some of this you know medical you know rules and things kind of go away from the school i i understand that in the past you know there's always been a place for it because you know there's always been school nurses and things of that nature but i think now with the testing and the forced testing and some of the you know it's like the dangle the carrot you can come if you do this or if you do that my son's been quarantined three times now this year for close contacts and he's never been sick yet and um you know he obviously has the option to stay or go home and we've chosen to stay at home because the reality is if there's a threat to him or somebody

091else because of someone who's been around like i'm not sorry i don't have a problem with it but i'm not going to put my faith in a you know it's a mask that clearly says on the box does not stop respiratory illness i just don't i i'm not i'm not into leaving it we've got a three minute problem oh and i'm done i wasn't here to try to convince anybody i just wanted to let you all know that we exist out here like we're a very a small minority of people now you know that just we it's not that we deny that this is going on i've actually been affected quite dramatically from it um i guess i i just um i don't think it's right for him to it's a slippery slope like i

092you know if let's say the police someday wanted to arrest us now for the suspicion of being sick right we live in a progressive world progress never stops right so you know if we're gonna you know now um you know quarantine people for the possibility of being sick you know we can expect down the road if we leave that stay in our house that that will progress to something else down the road that's my whole point of it and i mean i could speak for quite a long time about all this um but i just hope that if you find it in your heart to make that next step to um you know do away with some of these you know restrictions on people that might be one that you consider and then putting that

093away for good because it's just it's really messy because um you know it could be used against somebody too you know like um i don't think that's been the case in my situation but you could have a situation where a person wants to use that against somebody and say hey you know because it's like a due process thing you don't get to find out who who got who is sick around if that's confidential right so you could have a situation where hey uh so and so was sick around you and you need to quarantine well you know it gets messy you know um and that's all that's the only thing i want you to consider um and hopefully that's one of the next steps that we we take away and we just get back to

094like actual normal you know so so that you know he doesn't have to have his education interrupted anymore um and that's all i really have thank you for the science thank you thank you so much can i just can i i know i didn't say that but i just wanted a quick comment about the science as a parent with your kids they not only because they're doing the trial and error and it's not always black and white they're learning life skills because not everything is going to be black and white and i know some of the kids struggle and i've heard it from my son there's kids that want the exact answer they just want to be able to do it and be done with it and that's it but learning like this you know

095there's in life there's so many choices and i just want to say i think they're all doing a fabulous job and the kids are having fun doing it so thank you thank you okay um we'll move to the consent agenda items any moment is removed from the consent agenda then hearing none that is approved i can send with the donation of the ray book grant for the elementary playground i think it is right right all right so thank you to them [Music] all right opposed motion carried so then we will take up um the renewal of the intergovernmental agreement for the school resource officer program here wherever you would like to you can stay over there you can sit in front of us whatever you're comfortable with um good evening everyone i want to first

096of all thank you for the opportunity to speak um working with kyle i have previously provided the contract and the proposal to renew so i think kyle wanted me here tonight just to kind of be here to answer questions that any of you may have some of the things that i would like to point out is when we approached the school resource officer program three years ago which is hard to believe it's been three years it was an idea for our community and all three main districts decided to go ahead and move forward with that so we wanted to kind of start out with a pilot school and the program was well received at all school boards so we started not only with one but all three schools so it's kind of a learning process

097i think on our end and a little bit i would assume on the school's ends as well um but with any project um the people that are involved in it really make it or break it right so i want to take this time to formally thank mark i know he's really committed to your school i believe he's well liked he's well received he is a little gray but he was great before he got here so um the the positive things that i hear in the community is that we're taking a different approach right we're we're learning we're growing um as a sheriff's office we were in your school anyway under this new program it's more of a proactive versus reactive i do speak to mark a lot about animal different sros and we are seeing

098a reduction in you know community issues as it relates to juveniles and i believe the sros have great influence on that they build those relationships i certainly can let mark speak to what those look like but i'm here in front of you tonight for consideration to extend for another three years again the contracts were renewed by kyle i believe illegal probably uh they're reviewed on our end and we are not requesting any changes other than my finance finance department did review the hours worked and when they came out in a concept it was 440 hours but on average other than covert year all the sros are moving around 1600 hours during the school year i mean that's the school day school events teachers conferences in-service days basically whenever the superintendent wants are to be here

099they work together on their schedule so it's not just traditionally the monday through friday school days and the slight increase in the contract is based on that 1440 to 1600 hours and then also all of our deputies are under a bargaining unit so they are big contract negotiations and they have their wage increases so minimally um the increase i feel is fair uh we're we're still taking the 80 school 20 county approach um the reason i drafted it that way when i proposed it originally is that i think school safety is a shared responsibility so you know and as just like you guys watch your budget the company watches my budget and uh but i wanted to show the commitment so that's where the 80 20. a lot of the contracts with schools around the

100state around the nation the school pays 100 i'm not asking to change that because i truly believe in the program and its benefits and again i think we're all in it together um one of the things that we have done since i was in front of you the last time is i wrote for a grant from the department of justice and door county was selected to create a youth diversion program and basically in a nutshell what that allows us is to be able to have mark and deputies on patrol make referrals to our case manager which many of you probably know it's liz union um it's used to work here so if the young person and it's all voluntary if the young person and the parent agree to it it allows the the youth to

101meet with the diversion program case manager take a class get the the services they need that are offered through the county and if they do all those things and they do them successfully there is no record right um for us older people when you're a teenager if you got caught underage drinking it's still on a file somewhere right when you're 16 17 years old i certainly don't advocate for those types of behaviors but i know sometimes a lot of people will look at the sro in the school and say well it's a it's a police the pipeline to prison um i can tell you as the sheriff as someone that ran our jail for a long time um my personal opinion from experience is this is a better way better way to approach the youth

102right because it's positive it's i'm hoping that staff at the school we hope the parents feel that it's more of a safe environment and i think i could let mark talk a little bit just about his experiences instead of being trying to talk for him um yeah this is my third year now and i like to think i've had some good impact on some of the students i know i have gotten emails from some of the parents that they want to talk to their kids about certain things i too uh i don't believe in um just getting these guys citations and they do something wrong um totally against that i wanted to put in this we just had a very complicated case not that long ago i got a phone call on um so for

103me again it's it's about the collaborative collaborative approach um as far as your school just from it's kind of an interesting statistic but um i know people like to say all the cops in the schoolies i was on my kids and they're getting tickets and they're doing whatever in 2021 mark made eight referrals to the doodle diversion program eight so that's that tells me that he's working with the kids on your site making sure that the behavior is changing before it moves to the justice system so out of those eight referrals uh seven of your students successfully completed that and are on a better track right and there is no program that is going to be one size fits all right the program is presented to the student the program's presented to the parents it's

104voluntary if they choose not to do it and take the citation for their behavior then they do that and there's a fair share of individuals that want to do that but again i also i can appreciate where you guys are i was on the school board in a different part of the county for some time so your budgets are important too but if you think of it this way it is a shared responsibility and a school at any given time has the largest amount of individuals in it right so i feel it's a good investment i i'm very proud of what mark has done here and i hope you will consider continuing our relationship for the next three years [Music] i would need to approve the renewal of the intergovernmental agreement school resource officer program

105any questions is just a suggestion this is awful first of all you guys did a great job even the great every guy while i was on vacation and i called i caught kyle up on this and he was researching i saw a presentation on tv on some talk show or something and it was some educator talking about drugs at school and the importance of narcan and that narcan should be provided in every school in the country because of what can happen very very quickly in schools and in researching that kind of say finding out that we do have narcan i think you're to your office or something i just i would just make a suggestion that you may want to i know you have a lot of free time you may want to get your

106people together and have a standard protocol throughout the schools on the use of narcan standardizing where it's located in how many units i think maybe we have like one place here but if he's uh doing something in the playground and the kid tops over down in his locker room by taking some you know some goofy drug you know i you know i'm saying i think there should be a a standardized protocol throughout all the schools coming out of your office or out of the program and looking at the appropriate number of narcan doses that should be located in school and have a standardized who has control over those so that there can be a response within one or two minutes when something really bad goes on yeah i appreciate that our deputies are all trained

107in narcan our deputies carrying our camera it is an interesting concept for inside of a school i think a lot of times it's not thought about but we actually are trying to roll out a narcan program in the community we are starting with actually a jail market program that's where a lot of the overdoses occur when people get released out of jail go back into the community but young people they are trying things right and what they're laced with different things we face those decisions every day i think really as it relates to what you want to do in the school i would gladly have conversations with kyle but usually it needs to be under medical direction so whether it's your school nurse you know start kicking your second step from the nurse does she

108have to put it off okay so saying this happens it's almost like a box on a wall that you're bringing to class it is and in a lot of the larger communities you know like you everywhere you go now you see aeds now you're seeing narcan stations right wronger and different wherever you lay in that issue every community including ours is dealing with overdose right if that issue is here in all the schools then you can drop out of the wall at any moment when you want at least expected something so we have motions will he be with us for three more years [Music] come back will you be with us for three more years we want a commitment from you if you come back with dark hair we'll know that something happened we like

109him so we'll move to the administrator reports mr hills thank you very much um just a couple highlights from my report first one just to draw your attention to the 4k stagger start that's something that has been successful for us for the last couple of years the 4k teachers talked to me about that they'd really like to do that again this year this coming fall so i'd like to get that information out to new families as soon as we can just so they can make preparations but it really does make a difference as they transition these new students into the room having half as many kids in there for those first couple of days literacy nights when i wrote this i didn't have the details but it is april 7th it'll be from 5 30

110to 7 o'clock and the theme is called exercise your mind it'll have a lot of different things we saw the wonderful science presentation tonight there will be science activities phonics crafts a scavenger hunt will be included as a part of that among other things so and then jerry had asked for a presentation knowing that there were a lot of presentations this evening i decided just to put it all in the report about there's a social and economically disadvantaged students and what we do at the elementary to try and meet those students needs and so that's what that report was in there yeah i wrote my i wrote my paper very good a lot of food for fun um i wanted to pass these out earlier but i got distracted so the only thing that i

111really want to highlight in my report is that the summer school brochures are done and ready so i really wanted to pass out here for you to take a look at um [Music] but we're really excited and the reason why i want to bring it up and see this is all folded up how families are going to get it as well okay the reason i wanted to bring it up is because a lot of appreciation a lot of hard work went into pulling this together so definitely to the staff who you will see that are volunteering they're not volunteering they want to work this time because they work for summer programming i want to do highlight that not every teacher is on there there's plenty of teachers who are doing academic interventions we've had far

112more teachers want to do academic interventions this summer which is really wonderful because we really are targeting and addressing some of that covered gap that our students do need so it's phenomenal how many students that many teachers are saying i i want to teach maths i need to do reading intervention i need to get these kids for some more time this summer so it's really um so it's really wonderful so my appreciation for and kudos and thanks for all of our staff who are doing it and then also need to say that sue ann shoots her amazing organizational skills her eye for marketing her eye for public relations she's done amazing work to try and help put this together to really appreciate her um her fine detail um as well and then to sue another

113suit to laura and dennis over at innovative printing who do such an amazing job for us so you will see the first activities that are listed there and that's new this year and then you'll see all the cool classes that our kids can choose from students who get nominated meaning the teachers said it'd be a wonderful idea if you do come because you're going to get more academic intervention all of those mailings go out tomorrow and then when we get back from spring break maybe 10 days later then that packet goes home with every student because every student um k through eighth grade existing students right now get that opportunity to come us up so we're working really hard to pull something magical at the end of the as summer as the enrichment process instead

114of this remediation process is there something in line for giving a student some kind of credit for doing enrichment not necessarily but i will tell you that i can say that credit piece comes in the high school side we do a credit recovery for our high school students so if they didn't get so hot in the semester course they get the opportunity to come back and um that credit so they're still on track for graduation which is really important too on another area of your responsibility i noticed in the stride minutes that our students are making good use of the stride program and we have a significant number i thought we have a significant amount of a number of students in stride we also right now are the only school in the county that has

115scribe counselor coming twice okay so 16 kids are in there and i sit on monthly stride meetings themselves and we do our numbers are you know i mean more of a smaller school as compared to some of the other you know county schools are here you know but we do have we do have a lot of kids participating in that program what's nice about it is sometimes when students are in more of a need they get seen twice in one week two very few and far between but that's how we can really specifically tailor the mental health needs of our kids to make sure that we can just call our provider we can just say hey this student needs to be seen twice can you fit them in and the answer is always yes that's

116great it is really great and i noticed the mental wellness kits that are going to all elementary kids for summer use they are yep and they'll go out towards the end and i have to get i've already given them our number so they'll go out more towards the end of the year and we'll get packets from the united way and then kids will take that home for over the summer right now this evening just by acknowledging that effort of our class of 2022 we have wonderful leadership from our seniors and i know i say that often but these students have gone through the colder years they've come back and they've really been exceptional role models for our entire student body so i'm really proud of that entire class but it's also my privilege to recognize

117the valedictorians for the class of 2022 so i'd like to do that publicly we had four students that all had perfect gpas this year so we'll be recognizing as part of graduation and ceremonies leading up to it brooklyn broner jack young leslie ross and natalie zawaski so i'd just like to congratulate them because i know how hard they were to put forth the grades that they do and the effort so i'm proud of them the other thing i'd like to report just briefly is the cnc career training program has achieved a lot of success it is going to i believe become a reality at the start of next year we have several students from um three of the door county districts that will be participating and i'm really excited to see that that launch and

118take place because i really think career training programs fits a need within our our school and you know the reason i say that is because high school students need a purpose sometimes to walk through the door and some of our kids a lot of our kids are motivated by the academic opportunities some of them are motivated by the athletic opportunities but there's a population that needs to learn differently and they need different opportunities and i really believe programs like our career training programs do that and they engage with it so i'm really proud of that effort and how it's moving forward the other thing i'd like to mention is just i hope people got a chance to see shrek that was an amazing performance that our kids put on um the all the everybody involved

119worked tremendously hard to pull off probably one of the biggest shows we've put on for many many years it's just a great show and and very well done so i'm going to thank them several other accomplishments throughout one that's not listed though as our middle school math team did take first in the conference again so they now have several years running in regards to their their imf aptitude and what they do lastly we are planning prom plans are well underway it will take place i'm sorry does anyone have questions regarding the athletic director's gifted talented coordinator report can i add one thing to that that you know mrs tank has taken on the art program as well and we're starting to identify students you know in the area of art as well and she's working

120really hard to get something going this year for those students so we continue to build on the programming which is excellent superintendent our district is part of an insurance cooperative with eight other districts in durham and duane county we have prepared 360 as do the other door county schools the other ones have wca insurance and they want to go out to bid because their wca numbers are pretty high so we're looking at that co-op and really since they have one insurance we have another one we're kind of two co-ops within one so we're looking to break apart and be two separate ones and so next month m3 will be here to explain that process and it'll probably just be the door county schools again it all is based on the point of service where you

121live and what you can get so our rates are for periods today is 362.9 next year our rates will go up in july 2.9 and then an extra 3.5.9 and then after that we'll probably have to go up the bid depending upon what um probably 360 comes back and we want to keep the relationship with those districts that we partner with that in two years after 2.2.9 3.9 increases we can go back there's a group of nine again if that's better for the whole group or not so that's it yeah um mr bear referenced the the musical the impressive thing to me in that was there were 35 kids and there were a lot of elementary kids starting in third grade that was great to see them having fun and it will bode well for

122the program going forward i think because they had fun being on stage um aside from you know the older kids having great voices in their ability to act um door county's lost a couple of educators in the last little while bob nichol who was most recently principal at sturgeon bay for quite a few years passed away rather suddenly he was a business education teacher here and then principal for several years so he sent her sympathy to his family and then mr carl schultz passed away yesterday um you can read his obituary online and it speaks a lot about his commitment to education and the environment and his later in life just commitment to the school um so we are sorry for his family his plaque is outside this door now the front the brass plaque

123so take a look at it and it reads dedicated now we're a positive leader and mentor of education community and the environment they all who enter this room exemplify the characteristics of kindness good manners and citizenship offered in sebastian so i think it kind of embodies what he was so important to him education community environment and his personal characteristics so the story for those families um isn't which you already said they'll be having a service or some gathering later when the weather itself um committee reports athletic committee david and keith are not here i think that's immediate so we don't know anything i saw the agenda that was decided um nothing brought forward to us so we'll hear about that when they get back um the budget report budget report our fund 49 the 25

124million dollars for the building project has thirty-eight hundred dollars left in it fun 46 which is our long-term 10-year maintenance 66 962 our cash on hand right now 7.6 million dollars almost 7.7 uh february march our high water marks because you can see we've received initial revenue of 4.9 million dollars in tax levy payments so we received 71 the other 30 29 will come after july 1. they start the next fiscal year um [Music] no not really i mean we'll go over the yes or funds here yeah or unless they're coming out but then we'll go to the facilities street port the building over next week the doors in 1965 the section will be changed over uh they were ordered last may they came in january they wanted installed in february and it's going to

125take about a week so they wait till next week to do it the learning stairs on the first floor level across from the guidance counselor's offices they're gonna put bars so that they uh so kid doesn't walk into the step as it sticks out it'll be a double bar or a blind person would feel it and move out to the outside and coming down the steps they're going to put by each landing they're going to put a railing perpendicular to the current one going up and down to keep people on the office side going up and down and to break that up because those steps are so small we don't want anything of this stuff there we did a lockdown drill was that last week thursday and we found out when we hit the panic

126button the doors that are automatically supposed to shut and not shut so they didn't override for that so the alarm company is coming back out to work on those that was our first lockdown of the year and also about the building okay the field project braved in a final drawing last week they submitted it to byron meyer who's going to review it for a couple of weeks and then send out the bid process and dudes will be doing middle april i've requested that the bids be sent to the school either email or sealed wolves had a couple of local contractors that said they'd like a shot at it but they didn't like the process of having the kids go to my room office so they can't come to our office instead with my rental car

127period we'll hold them together oh and i guess this important building too the field we did sealed goods for longhorn this summer yeah and we had four bids and it was like ten dollars it was 490 of mowing and it was only as a company they're all all four were low but there was four still good so we got that one i'll email you like your company okay yeah they provide everything they come here they drop it off the trailer and go yeah so any questions for us here can any of those legislative report uh yes the legislature has adjourned for this session uh prior to during the senate sent a large calendar of bills through to the governor the feeling of the wasb governmental relations director and assistant are that most of them will

128not pass wasb either took no position on most or opposed them because of the undue stress placed on boards and administration there were some that dealt with charter schools which was vehicles as well so i don't think there's going to be much happening there the legislators are back home busy campaigning and the as far as wasv goes you did all get a notice about the survey to participate to indicate what you see as the needs of school boards that wasd could provide the next step now is wasd will be conducting three focus groups there will be virtual there was a notice yesterday i believe that went out that if you are interested in participating the first one will be held on tuesday april 19 from 6 to 8 p.m this will be for school board

129members then there will be another one for school board presidents and a third one for school board superintendents so there are school superintendents i should say so if you're interested in any of those check the wasb website we would welcome your input this will be an opportunity to go into greater depth than what the surveys did so it is something we're glad to participate in and then i just wanted to mention a couple of things from sita sisa is offering so many good things for a variety of people for this summer targeting computer science in the classroom for k-12 teachers there's even a stipend for this for teachers and it's free then there's a cyber security preparedness and strategies regarding data privacy that's free also and the idea is to prepare for possible cyber attacks

130and i know that the technology people at sita and also at wasb are concerned about this particularly with the situation that's going on in the world right now there's also a session on book challenges being proactive this is another area that a lot of school districts are dealing with right now and this one is available in april for and then i just wanted to mention that cesa is partnering with legal college on preparing special ed teachers to try to address that special ed shortage problem that we're dealing with with teachers in that area and they are attempting to work with teachers prospective teachers to certify them elementary and special ed to make that process a little smoother to help provide more teachers and then also the mental health consortium that cesa has developed allies of

131mental health i'm sure melissa you're familiar with that and some very good resources and opportunities for us there so lots of good things out there for us to take advantage of thank you i i did find interesting uh one thing about the consisa update about the they say probably won't transfer a bill requiring the wisconsin university of wisconsin assistant board of agents to charge high schools says it starts high schools that have graduate institutions and media coursework in english or mathematics that was in your report i find it i find it interesting only that it may not pass down but you need to look at this stuff because when i'm on tcp where i keep telling them it's fascinating to look at the evolution of healthcare and evolution of education education is like 15 to

13220 years behind but the two education and health care are the two main at least it was over time the two main areas of society would still go back to medieval times and structured in in medieval ways such as the universities where the saying we can't get [Music] and times are changing and i i hope you pay attention to that you're going to i bet you're going to hear more of that because my experience just at tc tc spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in this area of taking kids with high school diplomas that can't meet the requirements of high school can't add subtraction quite you know the basic stuff and so then we we do it again at dc which is now an additional cost for the taxpayers and just reading that thinking just

133be aware of that i can see that coming someday if somebody's going to come and say this is duplication of costs and services which should not go back to the schools but their standards for accepting a student they're accepting a student that doesn't meet standards without remedial classes so they draw their bar and say we got it here and then they let them in they can't climb up over them back and forth their response to that is we don't want to turn any student down and and somebody's gonna start looking like well you're spending this on this for education but these institutions are spending right more dollars again to do what you're saying is been done back here but it isn't done so i i just think that's yeah you're right well and then we'll

134see later in the agenda we're going to start college now applications so we'll be paying the higher ed and on that end too yeah the higher end is trying to get the k12 money and they're winning yeah my entire answer so regarding okay we're gonna move on so regarding school board goals and board evaluation we're not gonna do the school board evaluation because i don't have all of the responses back and we are missing um we're losing three members tonight at least two of them will be back for next month so i will prompt whoever hasn't completed their evaluation to get it done and then i've been looking at those responses so far and we see maybe some goals coming out of our discussion on that school board evaluation anything on covet operations uh i

135included your packet from a dpi from luis wilson she's the head nurse and she sent an email up to all school nurses and it says the highlighting part is the cdc has stated that the universal case investigation and contact chasing are no longer recommended in schools we have been doing contact tracing and having those students mask so with this letter coming out i'm going to go to not contact facing because that's what the dpi that nurse has telling us we don't have to do so she got it from the cdc so we will have a student that's positive for kovitz stay home for five days mass for five the close contacts will remain in our population without mass okay any questions on that i know comes up on our tracker no the school nurse has

136it it's not public information she's a door county medical center person i don't know how she gets it from the county and someone could be positive and not have it registered probably right yeah is there a motion for these fifth grade trees for tomorrow 20 20. so it's your second second questions or discussion you're not all in favor say aye aye opposed motion carry motion for um proving the maternity leave for elizabeth oh you missed one bad uh question for discussion hearing none all in favor say aye opposed motion carried bridget flowers retirement good move to approve the uh retirement of bridgette bowers at the end of the school year 2024. second questions or discussion hearing none all in favor say aye aye opposed to carry kimberly kimberly bagel retirement right this is a point

137of fighting fight but some of you live in every town because there's a benefit because your salary goes up by a certain percentage depending on how far off you do it which helps a little wrestling she could have weighed it to 2024 three years in advance you get a one percent rate increase in your pay for the financial final three years if you do it two years in advance you get two percent for each of the final two years you only do it for the last you get three percent and your wrs that you receive is based on your three largest three years of the greatest income so it also gives us the opportunity to budget for [Music] yeah i'm sure you consulted i would move to approve the uh retirement request of uh kimberly

138vaginal january 1 2025. second question to discussion hearing none all in favor say aye opposed motion carry we dealt with the school resource officer program earlier the esser funds two and three [Music] okay so master esther ii you have to spend esther two funds before you receive esther three funds um and for s three twenty percent of that must be used for educational recovery and as the three lesson used by the end of 2024 what did it give you [Music] uh what they lost in the gap created by coleman education educationally lost right so carl do you want to go over the yellow sheets um okay so the yellow sheets well that are highlighted yellow are the acid two fonts anything that is highlighted in yellow has already been that was the initial money that

139we had got last year for us for two funds before they came up with the additional money that we got for um having in-person classes okay so the highlighted numbers have already money that we've got already claimed and received money back from okay um so a lot of it was used for preparedness and to address coping issues up front last year anything that's not highlighted are programs that we already may have already bought or we plan to buy over either this year or next year and you have to have these set up ahead of time because you have to put in a budget it's a dpi you put in the budget dpi approves it you buy the stuff then i take those receipts make the claims we get the money then we get and if

140dpi doesn't approve it you could adjust your budget or if if you change that of a change on what we're doing you can still get this smithers initial budget already but as long as you have money available to spend you can adjust your budget so if there's something on this list that we're not going to do which we already found out there is one of them because they're doing it at a different time frame so that that's not cost us additional money that can that gives us additional funds to put to spend somewhere else so right now the total amount of the sr2 funds is 298 470 i when he came up with this he had his 40 cents that i put somewhere but the uh let's see i'm trying to figure out which ones

141oh anyway there's one of them on here that we can put somewhere else um if you go if you flipped it to the next page for special ed budget for so2 funds what we've already spent what we programmed that melissa has requested with that we use and then s3 we spent or we spent some money in food service probably most part of us are two funds we're putting into fund 10 in education and if you go to the last page which is sr3 um the large portion of it is going to a math and eventual intervention list for two years with a with an aid to go along with it that is salary and benefits for both of those um then we're also looking into mental health services professional development for the staff to handle

142mental health issues with those students we had input from parents and teachers that people through ptl and then i met with ufw's input from the students as well so i met with the class officers as a junior class and they thought this list looked pretty good it was interesting because i talked about mental health then and i said well what do you guys think about that and what do we do because we know we can't hire someone else and bring them in that's not gonna work uh finding the right person staffing it and so we talk as a team with that should be training for the staff so i asked the kids i said well what do you think about mental health around here and their ideas were was having high school teachers discuss with

143each other when they're giving tests and quizzes they said some weeks are heavier than others like this week for example these multiple teachers are giving tests and wrapping up the units and having projects due because next week's spring break these are serving piles on that same week all the time and they say could we designate one night every two weeks or maybe monthly as a no homework day maybe even a friday so we have one weekend without thinking about homework another idea they had was designate one night a week when the teachers stayed later to help the students the teachers tell the classes when they have their prep times but the kids are in a different class at that time so they can't meet with them they want more access to the teachers they also

144said they wanted to have access to the teachers during lunch period because they're eating lunch the same time the teachers are eating lunch they can't go see the teachers they want more time with the teachers ect prep they said that this year the science and math preps were really good the english was more about time management and so english wasn't covered so the students the juniors said they'd prefer having a session on time management and then have another session on english because they feel like they don't have that they also thought that we should schedule more fun days to break up the weeks similar to the snow day event they have again before christmas break they said january february is a stretch that's too long without something in there to bust it up so that

145was what the kids had to say well those are reasonable [Music] ideas and requests well i thought it was interesting they went more access to their teachers and yeah okay i want to see you during lunch but i can't because they're also eating and i understand that or hey they want to teach you to stay late or one night a week so they can you know that's that's what i'm looking for that's probably not popular with teachers but they're good i think it's important to listen to a kid and they're good ideas you know and on april 4th we are gathering as a staff as kind of like a forum to talk about if we had x amount of funds what sort of professional development do you need to address mental health in the school

146you know the idea is we have to grow our resources here our teachers and our staff need the resources so that's what that discussion is going to be about it's also an excellent time to share with the staff this is what the kids said to you know so it's a well-rounded discussion um you know all the stakeholders that are here so do you need some approval on this well let me there's the last line because i'm sure i mean 159 400 for the air handler when first when the ester funds first came out they gave us costs that were authorized to spend and with sm3 any costs that were authorized in the s 1 s or 2 or authorizing us 3 air handling equipment is an authorized cost and this does not cover the whole

147cost but it's money that we had left over and that we can put towards the air handler um so that's why that is an s3 the air handler there's two air handlers in the 1965 park when you go up the house flight of stairs that's in the gym on the south wall the back one the original one was worn out and shot 25 years old and it's 195 thousand dollars to replace it we're going to do that this summer so what carl's saying is he's going to make sure that we spend all our esther funds and how he's going to get really get 40 cents in that one yeah he's going to make sure he gets rid of applying it towards the air handler at the end so we can do all the steps that

148we're looking for and then have that so a motion now to accept the proposal for essence two and three then we would post the math intervention specialist probably well maybe tomorrow or at least we're after spring break or something soon so it looked kind of like our reading specialist photograph is there a motion to approve the there's a question how do you how do you think that how do you rationalize the air handlers because it's improving the air quality of the building and that was one of the issues that were coming about with the air with the air in the building being an airborne pathogen if you improve your air if you're air handling equipment it's part of is that is that going to include a uv uv treatment system i don't think it does

149have that so i'd have to ask but um and like our claim goes to dpi and they have though they have to save my bug open and if they say well now it isn't then we'll have to adjust that it's a proven practice to install uv uh systems and hair handlers and they'll take care of most bacterial and at certain high levels of uv light or controlled viral right i'm just concerned that in the future this is from my own experience the government always gives money away but eventually when regimes change then there's going to be somebody with green a shades on from the gao coming in and you're going to have to say i proved to me this was if anything that's covered in new hampshire almost documentation because they never compare whatever gives

150it to you for free they're going to come and look at you that that's your assumption why is mayor from mountain lion i know experience enemies would give us tons of money then they come back and then try to take it back well it's not for free because someday someone's gonna pay those kids that we're here are gonna be paying for it and the state superintendent said use it all up because that's the only way there could be more coming later and i can't imagine getting more in the future but how many stimulus checks did folks get you know i mean well that's not very responsible just use it at all but she said spend it she said spend it don't leave us sitting on the table yeah she said spend it is there a

151motion to approve the answer to an s or three second i thought that was pretty yeah and that that's me that wasn't really mental health it was just kind of common sense right for studying mrs marcotte said they're going to present it to the staff when they have their meeting and tell the kids that that was some real insightful stuff absolutely okay so we have a motion in a second if there are no other questions i'll take the boat all in favor say hi all right motion carries college now applications you have the students listed a through m and the courses each one is interested in taking and so this time we need forward to approve this list and this isn't something we just we can't disapprove the only way would be is if we

152offered something here like matched up right now and we don't have these courses so is there a motion to approve this third college now application i would move to approve the start college now and early college credit applications then we have the athletic attendance expectations system the way in the manner in which it was it's kind of a problem during spring sports because the nbc crossed out there but how two thirds of the way down one unexcused absence and you can't start the next game and we'll miss one quarter or more of the next event scheduled for the week next week's spring break and so one kid will miss one day and some other kid they missed six practices and they both get the same consequence and then we have our unique um soccer co-op

153with gibraltar and they will spring break the week after our spring break so you have two weeks of people missing missing practices it's always different yeah uh what people will say is brought your kids going spring break they travel it's like gone and they're out of here and then you have the well it's the vassal parents you know if they want a trip when they say the case you're coming with the kid doesn't really have a choice you gotta give a lot of dance says and then they get penalized for that so brooke and dave and keith worked on this and this is what they've come up with and then brooke brought it to the coaches last week wednesday yeah yeah last week wednesday and they cashed it out too because it's a fine line

154when you miss and whatnot so she's going more to a system where they get a pre-planned absence form and get it filled out signed in the coach knows ahead of time everyone knows what's going on and when they deal with it so i think it's a better system but my question would be shouldn't something like this extend to other extracurriculars like the play and forensics and play forensics you know if the robotics if the multicultural cub is going on a field trip after school they should be in school in the morning on time that we need approval on this one i guess that's a suggestion that's a suggestion to the administrative team that maybe we look at something other than their extracurriculars other extracurriculars right now we will look for a motion to approve this

155document there's a motion to approve the athletic expectations document is there a second second questions of discussion all in favor say aye opposed motion carry um is there a motion to me [Music] 9 19 p.m
