Yeah, but I don't want to I don't want to do I want to call it something else. So, I just want to copy this and then call it clean and then make it clean. So, we've got our red line and then we have our clean. But, I'm going to need Jiren's help, I think, so I don't mess it up. >> Well, we'll see if we can come up with something. Maybe I can Google it. Yeah. >> Yeah. I'll just put my let's see >> simply creating a clean version with policy usually after no see that's
008where we're different. If we don't have a clean version it's not the end of the world. because the board knows what it's approving. But [Music] Huh. >> I wonder if I can do this though. >> Is there a way in the work in progress that you can do it? >> No, I don't bet I can do this. I've already I think I have a plan here. >> Just copy back. Yes. >> Okay. Now, I'm going to get out of here cuz I didn't make any changes down at the very bottom. >> And then let's just go back to policies. [Music] >> No, I want to. Yes. seats.

All in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Eyes have it. Motion carries. Consent agenda has been approved. >> Okay. We can now move on to our presentations. Members of the board, I'd like to introduce Sheila Magguire from Boseies. Sheila, the time is yours. [Music] Go. Thank you. Okay. Uh, Mr. Chairman, members of the board, thank you for having me for my annual um, Boseies report. Um, I am Shane McGuire, the director of OC's and I think most of you know me and most of you have been here while I've been doing these last couple years. So, um, Boseies, again, anybody who
014isn't familiar, we're a partnership between this school district and Western Community College. We have nine full-time and 13 part-time staff. Um, three on-site Western outreach staff. We have actually lost a few people in the past year. Um, we've lost a couple part-time person people and one full-time person. Um, our staff serve on multiple community boards. We try really hard to be involved in the community um and all be out in public on a regular basis. Boseies is funded through a two and a half mill levy that is reapproved by the voters every four years. We will on be on the ballot again in November of 2026. Those mill levies fund our general operations and higher ed. And then we have federal and state grants that fund a lot of our individual programs. Um, our mill
015levy revenues had rebounded slightly from a low point. Um, but with the recent property tax cuts, they're going to be less this coming year. Um, one of our biggest programs is our 21st century learning center program, which is you all better know as the after school program. Um after school programming includes all four elementary schools, both middle schools as well as programming at ECDC and the Evston youth club. It also includes our summer camps which include the extreme science camp, the camp imagination, um camp Picasso which we did not do this past year, you went to science school and the robotics and 3D printing camp. Um, our local program is the largest in Wyoming. That uh program was the one you might have read about in the newspaper. It was on pause for about a
016month the month of July when the federal government paused it. We did get that funding which was a huge relief. It was really stressful there for about a month not knowing if we were going to have that program or not. Um, it's nice to know that it's back for this coming year. However, the budget that was presented by the White House does not include funding for 2627. So, we are really hoping that that funding gets put back into the budget that Congress ultimately passes. And we're really hoping that we'll have answers to that. um hoping that Congress maybe passes a budget on time and we will know by this fall whether or not we will be able to have programming for next year 26 27. Um we serve over,00 students um in our program every
017year through the afterchool programming. Um that is a huge amount of students through our district who participate in the afterchool program. Um we have data to show why top scores um proficiency growth those kind of things all go up with this particular program. Um as you can see here we have proficiency in all of these um math and English language programs related to after school. um we have to initially when we had the afterchool program and it first began we didn't have to show the Y-T top scores or anything it was just programs for students now we are required to report on Y-T top scores for all the students who participate in after school to show that it actually has some kind of benefit for those students. Um, when we look at higher education, that
018includes Western Wyoming Community College, our primary partner. We also have University of Wyoming and Western Governor's University. And then we do test proctoring for any higher ed institution that any student here in Evston is attending. So, with the growth of online programs, students taking classes from anywhere can call us and come up and we can proctor their exams at the Boseies. Come on, go forward. Um, so Western Wyoming Community College, um, dual and concurrent enrollment. We do dual enrollment for high school students and the concurrent enrollment. Um, dual means that they're online classes offered by Western and concurrent means that they're taught in the high school by high school teachers. So, Boseies pays the tuition for dual enrollment classes. Um, last year we actually, this data is actually from the previous year. So, last year
019we actually spent about $60,000 on dual enrollment tuition. Um, and we have about 80 students, excuse me, who were enrolled last year. We had added new concurrent courses for 2425 that included American Wyoming government, anthropology, um current issues in American government and archaeology. This year we have also added some additional business classes, some art classes to the concurrent enrollment offerings that will be at Evston High School. Um the electrical and instrumentation program we started in January. Unfortunately, have not been able to secure a full-time instructor for the electrical and instrumentation program. It's just difficult to find somebody who can teach that because they make more in the field >> than they can make teaching a college class. >> So, it's a challenge that we continually have of finding somebody to teach that. We did find
020somebody who will teach it. one of our high school teachers is actually teaching it in the evening, one night a week, one class. So, that was able to start in January. Um, we did have five students complete that class and we are set to go with the next class that starts next week actually is when Western classes start on Monday. Um, we're also looking for an adjunct welding instructor. We have been using the high school um welding lab to offer welding courses that the welding teacher at the high school was teaching for us. He's got so many family commitments he no longer is available to teach in the evening in addition to teaching during the day. So, we have been trying to locate an adjunct welding instructor who would be willing to teach that class
021for us um one night a week so that we could offer welding to the rest of the community. Um, so if you know anybody who's interested in teaching welding, by all means have them give us a call and we would love to find somebody to do that along with find somebody to teach the ENI program full-time so that students can get through there at a more rapid pace instead of taking one class at a time because that's going to take a while. Um, as mentioned, we also do test proctoring. We have on-site tutoring. We offer scholarships for local students who are attending WGU UW. Um, since 2022 when we started the teacher opportunity scholarship, we've provided scholarships to 19 different district staff members and have paid out well over $30,000 um to those students in
022reimbursement based scholarships, which basically means they apply for the scholarship, we award it to them, when they show us that they successfully completed the semester, then we reimburse them for some of their tuition costs. Um those scholarships are also somewhat available to the community members though we do try to give priority to district staff who are working on their credentials whether they're pair professionals working on their teaching degree or their teachers working on a master's. Our college and career readiness center is where we do our high school equivalency. We do the Boseies, the Boost program, which stands for Bosey's opportunity for self-sufficiency training. We have grant-f funded programs that help low-income parents and low-income individuals get job skills. And that's also where our ESL program is housed. Um, our high school equivalency, we teach the
023five subjects you have to have to pass high school equivalency, which is reading, writing, math, science, social studies. Um, we also have to include a whole lot of workforce readiness. The workforce readiness components seem to get larger every year under our grant requirements. And where it used to be a tiny focus, I would say it's now about 50/50 focus between the subjects to pass the high school equivalency and those workforce components. So, we are required to go over resume writing, interview skills, um job ethics and professionalism, all of that kind of stuff that we have to include with our grant funding. Now, um program numbers vary a lot, but we typically serve 20 to 25 students a year in the adult education program. It is funded through the Wyoming College Commission. Um, federal and state
024dollars that also was hung up. The afterchool program funding was hung up. We did just received that funding, too. Um, which was also another relief to know that we were going to get the federal portion and not just the state portion of that grant. Um, I guess they just really wanted to stress us out for a month. But I don't know, but it's nice to know that we have it back. Um, at least for this year, Boost, um, Boost is our program for 16 to 24 year olds. Um, each session runs about 12 weeks. We have over a 90% completion rate with Boost. Most of our Boost students are students who have left the high school because they're not on track to graduate. Um, we do occasionally get students who have never been enrolled in
025the district because they've been homeschooled and they come to us for that 12 weeks to get those skills so that they can pass that equivalency test. >> Um, that's actually fairly regular occurrence. Seems like every year we get at least one or two students who have been homeschooled all the way through until they come to us and want to finish up that way. Um, again, same requirements that we have in Boost includes all of the workforce stuff. Those kids also do CPR certification. They get sexual harassment training. They get healthy relationship training through safe um cooking classes, defensive driving. We do a lot of different stuff with those boost kids in addition to the high school equivalency. Our families becoming independent grant is a workforce readiness grant that began in the fall of 2014. Through
026this um low-income parents can get job training. So we have to we get them certified in whatever program it is they want to do. We've done CNA um child development associate substitute teacher office professional welding. We've added now medical billing and coding um medical assistant programs that we are working on. the CDL um CDL is running in September and is full. So, we actually finally got that program to go and we're super excited about that and hope that that's something that we can continue next summer um and offer more sessions. Last time we tried to offer it, it didn't go because we didn't it has a minimum enrollment and we did not get enough students who enrolled for it to go. This time we did. it's full. So hopefully now we can keep running it
027into the future. Um so that is one of the many things that we can offer through our families becoming independent program. Families becoming independent again is just for parents. You have to be a parent to be in that class. However, we also have additional ARPA money. This is our last year of having ARPA money that we received. It all has to be spent by June 30th and 26. ARPA money. you don't have to have a kid. Um, so anybody can qualify to come in. Not anybody. If you're rich, not really, but it's a pretty generous um income threshold to qualify to use the ARPA dollars. And then we also have our English language learning classes, which are Tuesday through Thursday evenings. Um, David Day, who works for the school district, teaches our ELELLL program. I
028mean, David can never ever ever quit because he's awesome with working with those students. They just adore him and he's super successful with that population um and working there. And again, as mentioned, we have the ARPA programs that we have those dollars through this year only um this fiscal year. And again, we can provide training for individuals who are interested. And if they're interested in a career cluster that I didn't name, call us. Or if you're a local employer and you need somebody who can be trained in something, again, call us because they're designed to meet be responsive to local demands. So, if you're an employer and you have a need for a specific training, call us because we can probably work with you and help your staff get trained on that through these grant
029programs. Um, workforce safety training, we have transitioned away from calling it industrial safety training to now calling it workforce safety training because we want people to understand it's not just for heavy industry. We can do training for all kinds of different types of industries. um everything from the heavy industry stuff to defensive driving, drugs and alcohol in the workplace, sexual harassment, um hazard communication, ergonomics, first aid and CPR. Uh as just an example, everybody who works at Boseies is required to be first aid and CPR certified. We all take bloodborne pathogens training. We work with the public. We just want to make sure we know how to do all of that stuff. um safety, climbing up and down ladders. We do all of that kind of thing up at the Boseies in our workforce safety
030training department. Um we have served more than 600 students in the past year with more than 300 earning a national certification. In the past 10 years, we have provided more than 14,000 students with safety training courses with nearly 5,000 of them coming away with a nationally recognized certificate. Um, we've also been providing OSHA 10 training at the high school. Our WST instructor, Candy Handlin, goes up to the high school and provides that workforce safety training, that OSHA 10 training. and with nearly a hundred of those students earning the general industry certification that they can then use after they graduate. Um, we also offer CPR for health care professionals and CPR for like people who work with kids. We offer lots of CPR classes at the Boseies and then as mentioned we proctor exams um whether
031it's for Western any other higher ed institution we do the high school equivalency exams we do person view exams which are certification in fields like if you need to take your journeyman test if you need to take a real estate lensure test we offer those at the Boseies we also do testing for law enforcement for the sheriff's office, um the police department, the tests that they require their applicants to take, we offer those at the Boseies as well. We do community ed. Um those are usually more the fun classes that people want to take in the evening, the cooking class. Um we're working this year on trying to get a book club together, offering embroidery classes. We do writing classes, 3D printing classes, and we also offer driver's education. For the past several years, driver's
032ed has only been offered in the summertime because we only had a teacher available in the summer to do the in-person portion and then the driving. We now offer driver's ed year round. Um the classroom portion will be online so that students can do that on their own time and when they have finished that part and they have their learner's permit, they call us and we schedule the driving. And so once somebody's got a learner's permit, they can call us. We'll work around their schedule to come up with times that we can drive. We now have five of us on staff at the Boseies who are able to go driving with students. We also used to just limit it to like teenagers, but we started getting lots of calls from adults who had never had
033a driver's license and wanted to know if they could take the class. So, it's open to anybody and um we're hoping that the hybrid nature of it allows more people to take advantage of that driver's ed opportunity. Um more of our community ed we do we also have taken over the Evston women's conference after that died during COVID. We thought that that fit well with what we do at the Boseies. So, we are now the lead agency in planning the Evston women's conference, which we actually just started working on today for March of 2026. And we have our Evston innovation workshop. Again, if you want to learn how to use 3D printers, X-tool laser engravers, uh CNC machines, sewing machines, any of that kind of stuff, come see us. It's actually really super cool and
034it's free to learn and tinker and play with stuff and it's kind of addictive once you start doing it. You come up with all kinds of ideas of things you want to print and um create in there. We think it's awesome. We just made these. So, we've made dummy 13s. They look like little crash test dummies and they come in little tiny kits that you can put them together, but we've been printing life-siz ones. Um, so one of them is now our Bosey's mascot and the other ones we've made one that's all EHS Red Devil colors and another one we're making that's Wyoming cowboy colors cuz we're going to raffle them off to raise money to buy more filament and equipment for our workshop. So they're really cool and kind of fun. Um, so we
035will be advertising how to buy raffle tickets for those dummies here in the coming weeks. Okay. So, um, a couple of other things I wanted to mention. That's the end of the slideshow, but one of the things we get asked all of the time or that people ask us about all the time is our funding and in particular why like some things can happen in Sweetwater County that don't happen here. Sweetwater County seems to be our big example all the time. So the Boseies are all funded differently depending on how they're structured. Ours is just our school district. The Sweetwater County Boseies is the entirety of the county. So, it includes the Rock Springs and the Green River um communities. Ours is just Evston. Also, we as our Boseies, we have Western staff on site
036who work out of the Bosey's office. So, we have on-site advising. We have on-site in-person classes, which some other outreach centers in the Western service area do not have. And we also own our own building. So the Sweetwater Boseies is actually housed on the Western Wyoming Community College campus. So Sweetwater Boseies doesn't have to pay maintenance costs, utilities, upkeep on a building, any of those kind of things. We do. Um, which is huge because facilities are the bane of my existence since taking over as executive director. it is constant and it's um a lot. So when people say, "Well, the Boseies in Sweetwater County pays for all these kids to take this many college classes. Why can't you do that?" For a lot of those reasons, we contract with Western to be here. So, we
037have to pay them to offer those on-site services. We have to maintain our building, pay our utilities, all of those kind of things that the Sweetwater County Boseies does not have to do. And their half a mill, which is what their Boseies has. They have half a mill. We have 2 and 1/2 mills. Their half mill brought in more money last year than our two and a half mills >> because they have the minds and it's the entire county rather than just the single school district. And I bring all this up because that's what we get asked all the time is how come they can do this and you guys can't. Our funding structure is dramatically different. and what we have to do with that money is dramatically different than what they have to do.
038Um, I would love to not have to pay for maintenance and utilities on our building, but we do. Um, we have to have a building to offer all of these things in. So, that's that's kind of some of the challenges that we face and that I think people don't really understand about the differences between all the Boseies because they're not all the same. To my knowledge, we're one of the few that is structured the way we are where it's just one school district and a community college and not multiple school districts and a community college. Um, and other Boseies have also gotten like you can pursue a vocational mill levy of an additional two mills that we have pursued here in the past and it did not pass. Um, the last time was about 20
039years ago, I think that we pursued that, but it hasn't passed here. If you get the vocational mill levy, which you have to do in coordination with your school district, you don't have to take that before the voters every four years. That's permanent if that gets in there. The one we have is specifically for higher education and it does have to go before the voters every four years. Um, so just trying to explain the differences between all the different roies and why we have some of the challenges and limitations that we do. Um, I want to make sure to give kudos to the school district. That afterchool program wouldn't exist like it does without the transportation and working with food services to get snacks and all of the staff who stay late every day and
040teach and then teach in the summer. Um wouldn't happen without that. And also the school district works with us on all of our technology. Uh we contract with the district for all of our IT needs at the Boseies. and having Jiren and Jared and Bill to call on a regular basis to say what's going on. They are awesome about running up and helping us figure all that out and we greatly appreciate it. >> So, does anybody have any questions? >> Yeah, I do. >> Yeah. Um, in a couple of our conversations, um, tell me if I'm wrong, but the funding that you got from Century 21 now >> is less than what it has been. Correct. >> It is, and that's largely because pretty much every year. So, all of our federal government grants are
041operate on a reimbursement basis. They tell us how much our award can be maximum and then every month we have to submit our receipts and then they pay us back for what we spent. And some programs throughout the state do not spend everything that they were allocated because if you can't spend it on what's allowable within the grant, you just don't get that money. So what happens is the state will call will reach out to other programs and say we had a program that didn't spend all their money. If you feel like you can spend it, send us a proposal for what you're going to spend it on and then they'll award us additional money. For years and years and years and years, our program has gotten additional money because it seems like every time
042they reach out and say, "Do you have an idea?" We come back with a proposal and say, "We'd like to buy 3D printers for each of the elementary schools. We'd like to buy the Charlie cart portable kitchens for each of the schools. We'd like to do this. We'd like to add another camp." Every year, we have done that and we have gotten the money. This year, we never got the call saying there was a district that didn't spend the money. So, all we got was what we were initially allocated. um which you know is great but we we had every year we had extra money and this year we did not get extra money >> to do that kind of stuff with >> so if the bill the mill is going to be on the
043ballot next year >> November 26th yes >> if it doesn't pass what happens >> we are Dave said we're in trouble. Yeah. We don't >> we don't have the money to operate without that. All of our grants >> are for specific programs. We can't use grant funding to pay the utilities or pay our front desk staff >> or pay our liability insurance. All of those things that we have to have to exist have to come out of the meal levy. Our grants don't allow us to do that. So mill levies every four years >> four years >> and we've done it for how many years now then? >> Um >> what do you think? >> It's our it'll be 40 years next year. It's our 40th the Bosey's 40th birthday initially is always passed. >>
044Yeah. >> So members of the board >> five of that mill is automatic. >> Yes. >> We don't have to go to the voters for that. Um the two mills is not Yeah. So you don't have to operate on half a mill. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Work. No. >> Yeah. Not going to work. >> So, and is the diaper bank through you guys, too? So, we allow we let we work with the United Way diaper bank. Um, they use a an office in the building and we consider it like an inind donation to that program because we think it's important for the community and we had a room that they could use. So >> yeah, >> they use the Boseies and do that once a month and we have an office that's just stacked wall
045to ceiling with diapers and wipes. So >> yeah. >> So you mentioned the vocational mill. >> Mhm. >> And you said it was 20 years ago the last time it was put on a ballot. >> It's been a while the last time and I think Dave was involved with Mike of coming up with a plan to pursue it and it did not pass. Is there a reason it did not? >> Um, I wasn't at the Boseies at that time, >> so all I know is what I've been told. >> And Dave might have more information than I do because he was involved with Mike and that plan. It's too too long a walk. >> But um >> have a hard time remember a lot of things. >> I know that the last time they pursued
046it, it was closer than the time before that that they went after it. So, but like I said, that has to be done in conjunction with all the partners. So, if the district was that was something the district was looking to pursue or that we wanted to work together and come up with a detailed plan, it's my understanding that the first time around they just went after it and didn't have a really concrete plan and so the voters were like, >> "Yeah, >> you haven't told us exactly what you want to do with this money." So, no. Um, it's my understanding that when Dave and Mike were coming up with the last idea, they did have more of a concrete plan. >> We did >> and it was closer, but it still didn't pass. >>
047So, I guess that that it would just provide more security for you if you were able to go down that road because you don't have to >> we don't have to go before the voters every four years. But again, what we have now focuses more on higher ed and post-secary. The workforce safety training, all that stuff is considered post-secary. This one wouldn't include necessarily like it's more vocational and not the dual and concurrent and that kind of stuff. It would be a different track. But it is it is something that some of the other Boseies in the state have pursued and gotten and have. So, >> you know, we've talked as a board before on the vocational side of things >> and pursuing stuff that way, you know, um I don't know if there's any
048more interest now in society, you know, because there's a lot of there's a lot of skill sets out there on the vocational side that is lost >> and I think people are starting to realize that and maybe there would be more interested uh people interested in it if if it was presented to them in a certain way. So maybe I don't know. So >> yeah, it's something I'm absolutely happy to try to come up with a plan on and work with anybody who would like to on that. >> We would just have to target it of like, you know, maybe 2028 and in between when our other one is on the ballot and >> Yeah. No, don't go headtohead. Absolutely. No, because then you'd lose both of them. >> Yeah. >> So yeah. >> Anything
049else? [Music] Okay. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. >> All yours, Remy. >> Remy, come on up. Like to introduce Remy Woodward. She's going to report on her foreign exchange exper experience. Figure out where to put this in. See if I can help you. Oh, perfect. >> For any of you not Oh, do I have this? Should I do this one? >> What's that? >> This microphone. >> It should be on. >> This may not sound like it means [Music] >> Okay. So, for any of you that do not know, my name is Remy Woodward and I'm a junior this year and I just got back from a year um abroad in Germany and I've been asked to speak of that. >> I'm going to try and keep this under five minutes.
050If I get up to five minutes, I'll be so happy with myself. >> I'm going to try and >> if you keep it under five minutes, they'll be happy with you, too. >> I know. Seriously, this should be interesting. I hope so. >> I hope so. >> So, I went to Germany with the Congress Bundesog Youth Exchange Program, which is a Congress and Bundesog, which is the Germans kind of congress funded program and they accept 250 students a year to go on this program. And when I got back home, I kind of like chat GBT with like how many students apply each year and I found out that 25,000 students apply each year. >> Wow. Wow. >> So I consider myself very very lucky. I have to say >> um so I got placed in
051Neu House which is a okay which is a very small town in Germany. It has maybe they say it has 11,000 people like Evston does, but that's also including all the smaller towns surrounding it. So I would say that my town had maybe 500 and I was placed with a host family. Okay. And I lived with a single mom who had her own doctor's practice. So like a house practice practitioner, you know, English word. She had a clinic that we were trying to >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah, she had a clinic, which was really hard. >> There you go, Dad. >> Um, and I had four younger host siblings. So, I had Clara and Oh, yeah. You can see my mouth. >> So, this is Claraara. She was 14. So, she got placed in the grade
052under mine. She was in eighth grade. I got placed in ninth grade. Um, cuz they saw the American coming to school and they were like, "Yeah, let's put her in ninth grade." They did. And it it was it was good. And then Richie, he's this little one in the red. Um, he's 12. And then Ava, she's 10 and David is nine. And I also got to meet their entire extended family while I was there. They're they're not actually German. They're Czechish. They've just lived in Germany. So I got to meet my postgrpa Sig and Jana, which is his wife. and super cool. They were so cool. Um, but to the important stuff, which is like the school, which is kind of what I went for. Um, I went to Germany not knowing any bit of
053German. You know, I found out that I was going to Germany a month before school ended. And during school, I took Spanish. So, I did not know anything. And I didn't learn anything cuz I I was working and I'm like, I'll learn it when I get there. Um, which I did. And I wish I would have learned a little bit before I went because it was kind of a it was a bit of a struggle, you know. But we had a 4-week intensive language course when I got there. They called it language camp and I was there with 50 other American students um all throughout the Midwest. I was the only there was two people from Wyoming that got in. So it was me and another girl that got in and we practiced German 6
054hours a day every day for four weeks. So I got to school or I got to my host family. Um oh I should tell you I was placed in Turingan which is the absolute center of Germany. It's their like state and I was smack dab in the middle of the vad which is the forest. Um, and it's kind of like a small part of the black forest, which was so cool. Um, so that's where I was placed. And my German school had 450 students from grades 5 to 12. So you can kind of imagine it was a pretty small school. They built the school for a thousand students and, you know, so they kind of had some classrooms empty a lot of the times. And like I said, I was playing in the ninth grade
055with Kool, who you guys got to meet when she came down here. From what I saw, I saw the video at like 5:00 a.m. >> Yeah, the the time was like really tough. My mom, she sent me the link. It was like, >> I don't know, 3:00 a.m. and she's like, "Oh my gosh, how cool is like going on the school board today?" And I'm like, "I I'm sleeping. I can't watch that." So, I watched it later. But you guys all got to meet her. that was my class teacher. She was with Fraa. She was not my class teacher. She taught the fifth grade, but she's very cool. Um, and my class had a total of 22 students. Um, this is our entire class right here and here. And I was shocked to find out,
056you know, in American high school, it's kind of a popularity game, you know, with the social aspect of the high school. It's all about like what sport you play or how popular you are. Who cares? And these these kids did not care where you came from, who you are, what you do. They were just nice to everybody, always friendly to anyone that came in, you know, willing to be friends with anybody. They were seriously some cool people, you know, and they went out and they had their own lives and like they played soccer. They always did sports. It's like the big thing in Germany was sports. They all played like some sort of sport, like soccer, which sucked cuz I I do not play soccer. So, I was always really bad at the soccer games.
057And they made fun of me for that. They were like, "Go back to American football." Anyways, it was it was something. But um another thing that shocked me was the teaching style like the the approach to misbehavior in the classroom. Here you kind of send them to the principal's office or give them attention and there they would tell you to um sit down and shut the f up and flip you off. >> Yeah. >> Really? Yes. When you were misbehaving, that's what you got. >> That was cool. >> No, it was and it worked. So, I mean, you know, that was it was fun. It was really fun to watch. >> Um, and throughout your day, you stayed with the entire class, the entire or the same group of students your entire day. And, you
058know, having four younger host siblings at home because I'm the youngest, it was a bit of a struggle. So going to school and going to all my friends, it was like a second host family to me. They were so generous and always willing to help you out with whatever you needed. And I grew to have some of the closest Oh, shoot. I have some videos. I'll show you those in a second. I grew have some of the closest relationships with those kids in my class. And I still talk to them to this day. They started school on Monday and they were not happy about it. They kept texting me like, "Bring me over to America where I can have two months of break. This is so unfair, you know, because I only have six weeks."
059And when I got there, the Germans were so eager to practice English with me that I had to keep telling them to speak German to me, like they would still talk to me in English and I would talk back German to them. It was like a switch dynamic. It really, it got to a point where I was like, "You need to speak German to me." Like, seriously, like speak German. and they finally like finally started speaking German. Um, and you know, I had free time. We had a ton of breaks. Germany has like a lot of holidays, so you get a lot of breaks off. And I got to go and see a lot of Oh, actually, I have pictures of that. I think all the videos. Um, I got to see a ton of
060beautiful cities like you know the the things you think of like Munich, Cologne, Berlin. Don't go to Berlin, guys. If you ever go to Germany, don't go. It's not worth it. >> Why? >> It's like New York City, but anywhere that's not Time Square. >> Yeah. >> A lot of people. >> Yes. Lots of people. and the architecture, it just it doesn't it doesn't give you the German feel. It's all new architecture. Um, but the thing that I learned and what stuck with me the most is it doesn't it didn't matter where I went in Germany, the thing that always stood out to me were the people that I would meet. Like when my parents came and visited, I was trying to show them German culture. I was trying to take them to these things
061that would show them this is what real German culture is like. This is the these are the kind of people that you'll meet. And we went to a little like pub in a in a little town called Laos where the train. No, we drove there. My bad. And we met these we just walked in and it was like a bar and you could order food and whatever and the just people found out that we were Americans, you know. I had to kind of translate everything for my parents and they spoke like a different dialect of German. So it was like a really I was trying my best but it it was tough. So they found out that we were Americans really fast and they came over and they were just so friendly to us and
062always like the guy, the bar owner, his name is Henry. He announced to the entire place like we have Americans here. We have people from America. And everyone was like, "Oh my god." You know, it was like the people there are incredible. And the thing that I think stuck with my parents the most, Henry said, "You come to Germany, but there isn't a such thing as German culture. There's just German communities." Cuz everywhere you go, it'll always be different. You know, the people will always be people are always going to be people. But there they have different little subcultures, which is super cool. Um, okay. I guess now I'll show you these videos. They also have a secret prank in Germany, which I did not know. I'll turn off the audio. That's good. So, they
063like caution taped all of the stairs so you couldn't get to your classes and put balloons all over. And they had a little obstacle course at the front doors, so you had to like crawl under tables and hop over chairs to get in school. and they would like walk throughout the hallways and came into your classrooms with like a giant rolling speaker and they would do a conga light throughout the classroom. It was it was a really cool senior prank. These are my friends. They were super cool. Okay, I think now it might let me Oh, here we go. These are some of the cities that I saw. This one was not in Germany. It's in um Pzen, which is where they make the Pzner beer. And right I think right over here is where
064they make that. I didn't even know what that was until I went and rewatched it. I was like, actually, I think that's what that is. You know, Cathedral, the works. This is the Ryan River. And again, Vic Cathedral. Okay. Oh, yeah. Um, just more like pictures of the people that I got to meet and I aren't really close to a lot of my Germans um families. Like the the moms, they during co they all had to teach their kids English. And so they would like come up to me and they would start just speaking like kind of broken English to me. It was it was so cool. You know, they'd always come up and they'd be like trying to pronounce the word squirrel. German can't say the word squirrel. >> Um, just the people that
065you that I got to meet during this exchange. This is Enrico. He does custom glass work and makes Christmas ornaments. That was like the big huge thing in my part of Germany was they invented the Christmas ornament. So Christmas was like a giant thing. And >> this is my my going oh my gosh. Wait, this is kind of funny. This is my going away little party that they surprised me with. Um, and you can hear Full in the background. She was speaking English. So, I'll just let you whisper that. [Music] Can you play anything with me? >> They're talking about this kid Ultra in my class. He was like the typical loud annoying kid. And she asked me to take him with me at that home. I said no. And I So this is you're
066going to see a bunch of flags. It's with all of their little partnership schools that they've had at one point or another or like where their kids come from from different countries. and I got to be the kid to hang up the American flag and I wrote a little note on it, you know, thank you my class and so um so that's all that's everything I guess but um as you know I set up an exchange program between our school in Evston and the school in Germany which has been accepted that we're going to start implementing So, I just want to thank you all for your support in that and, you know, your enthusiasm for sending our kids over to Germany. And I I could not be happier that we were doing that. I think
067that the kids from our school would benefit so much from going and seeing a different culture, a different way of schooling, a different a different group of people. I think they'll benefit from the language skills. I mean, even in two weeks, you can kind of learn a lot, you know, just the cultural understanding that they'll gain and like personal growth. I mean, my when I was sitting back there, my mom's like, "Are you getting nervous?" And I said, "I did four presentations in German while in Germany. I am not nervous at all." like it's just the the personal growth that they'll gain from an experience like that I feel like is unmatched. So again, I thank you guys so much for your support and I am so excited to implement that. >> Thank you. Thank
068you. >> So when are we going to be able to to start doing the exchange? I remember they were over here talking about it. Um when will we first start receiving kids from Germany on the exchange side of it? So, they were thinking of coming over in September for homecoming week. You know, I love fulfilling the German dream of coming to a school dance and seeing the football games. I heard about it endlessly. Um, so September, I don't think this year. It's just too soon. >> I would love for that to happen. I can talk to Full, but I really don't think it's going to happen this year. It has to be next year. We discussed 2026 was a year out on >> spring 2026 in June, but sounds like they're extended that a little
069bit. >> I mean, I again, I'll talk to them and I'll get back to you guys about when they're planning on coming over. I'd love for them to experience school dance. Just my perspective um in a football game or two. But I think that our students, just so we don't interfere with school, unless you guys are okay with that, we would be going over right after graduation in June because they're still doing school until >> the middle of June. >> Great. >> So, I think that's what when we're planning on doing that. And um I'm going to start reaching out to businesses seeing if they'll provide little scholarships for students. Like the Rotary Club wants to speak to me, I've heard. Oh yeah. >> Um so again, I'm going to go reach out to these
070businesses and we're going to start putting out or at least I'm going to start putting out like the information about, hey, if you want to go to Germany in June, you know, here's where you can apply and go out these businesses for money and etc, etc. Yeah, that was going to be kind of my question is the funding end of it, you know, and then also host families. So, >> Oh, there's plenty of host families in Germany. >> No, I mean them coming here, right? So, how do we identify people here locally that would like to be host families for however many kids would come this way, you know? So, I don't think we'll find it. >> Facebook happenings. >> Okay. >> Hey, do you want to host an exchange? I know that there's I
071mean I've heard of plenty of people who have already been like hey when you get those Germans over here let us know and we'll keep them here or we'll host them or etc. And again I think there's plenty of support on our side for Germans wanting to come here and it's only two weeks so it's not like it's an entire semester or year. Um, I think that again I think we have a lot of support on our side for the Germans coming here. Um, and I'm going to put out the word in my school, our school, I mean. Sorry. >> Okay. >> And, um, we'll see who wants to who wants to go. >> Cool. Sounds good. Why don't you say something in German? >> Oh. Yeah. Okay. Okay. What did you say? >> I
072said um thank you for your attention and I hope you guys had a good night and I hope it wasn't boring. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. Nice job. >> Okay, we can now move on to some discussion items. Ryan, thank you. Madam Chair and members of the board, just to start off, the first discussion item we have is um rule CKA, notice to modify CKA, school safety and security um policy, excuse me, rule. The notice is really pretty straightforward. If you recall the procedures in this, we put a notice. has a packet of a statement um reasons why following the law and all that's included now in in that section the notice uh do we need to read through this how do you guys want to proceed proceed
073with uh notice itself I'll read the first paragraph and I think uh that'll probably help maybe let me enlarge this uh That's the statement. Let me get to the notice. Uh, notice of intent to amend rule CKA and repeal attachments CKR1, CKR2, CKR3, and CKR4 authorizing district personnel to concealed carry a firearm or district prop property pursuant to Wyoming statute 213132. to whom it may concern. Notice is hereby given that the board of trustees of Mua County School District number one, state of Wyoming in Evston, Wyoming, intends to amend rule CKA, school safety and security firearms personnel authorized to carry and repeal in the entirety attachments 1, 2, 3, and four. Um again just to kind of summarize the reason why we are modifying rule CKA is so our employees and any volunteer will have
074to provide us notice that they're going to concealed carry. We have no control over of anyone from the outside bringing a concealed weapon into our facilities. But the law, the new law does allow us to um I regulate our own employees and volunteers. So that's why we're doing this. If we did not do a rule, we would not have the authority to monitor our own employees and volunteers. The intent really is to have a networking situation, provide quality training to those employees and volunteers that are going to carry and uh really kind of I guess maintain where we are with our crisis plans and provide additional safety. Um another part of this is later is CKB which is outlaws open carry which is also in the law but that is policy this is a rule.
075So the rule making process is we provide notice we allow 50 days in a comment period. Um there's a lot of details in terms we have to provide a red redline master of CKA and the changes we're going to make. The reason why we can get rid of R1, R2, R3, R4 is because of the new law and all that information is being put into CKA. So CKA contains all that instead of having four separate policies. Um, makes a lot more sense. When we originally went after CKA, we tried to dot every eye and cross every tea and go way beyond what was expected as we listen to our community and our community concerns. um the new law doesn't require >> a lot of that and so we were going way beyond what was expected
076for our own employees when someone off the street all they need is a carry permit and they could bring a weapon into our schools. So we're just kind of moving it back a little bit but still providing high quality training um that's required by the law if you're going to do this. So that's the intent. Um you can there's some dates in there. the board meeting in September, we'll have a hearing, public hearing. Uh remember that if you discuss rule CKA and its modification and the removal of R1, you need to document that. So, what we've recommended is have those discussions, but make sure you encourage them to get on um assembly and make a comment that that documents it for them. after this 50-day period, we'll have to take all the comments and we
077have to respond to every comment and that has to be done publicly. So, if you look at a timeline on that, we're talking again several months to go through this uh modification of the rule. Uh I guess after three tries before we're pretty good at it. I think we should be. So, we'll be okay with that part. Uh it's just going to be a totally different uh process. I think I think individuals that were supportive before may not be as supportive of this because we're putting regulations on someone our own employees to carry gun when the law doesn't require that. It allows it and we're going to do that because of we want to provide the training and have the information who's carrying where and have the police have that information too protect our students
078and our employees that potentially carry. So that's the long of it. Um there are a few things that we will have to modify before we post. Um let me kind of show you the other statements. This is uh statement of principal reasons for adoption of rule adoption of school safety and security rule CKA. If you recall, we have to put forward every reason why we're doing this, why we feel it's important um and verify that with uh facts and evidence. There are a few changes we'll have to make in here. I would like to make in here. Jeff and I are still working that out. This is a statement that we've complied with requirements of 95304. Again, it has to be a part of this packet. Um statement of proposed rules. Um, again, why we're
079doing it and really what we're doing to the policy again in more detail. And then, um, this was the first one I showed you. I think it's just duplicated, but it does explain almost verbatim what we're doing and why we're doing it. So, that's the packet of the notice. That's really what you're approving tonight is that information. >> Um, >> can I add three things, >> please? The only thing we're missing from the packet is a clean version from the red line version which we will add but we're having a tough time assembly but it's it's new so we're still getting there. Uh but that's one thing that is missing that we will add. It's not nothing has changed from the red line version which is the clean version. uh whatever changes that you have
080to the statement of principal reasons for adoption. Let's go through those so the board can give us the permission to I looked in in my emails. I couldn't find anything that had what you were looking to modify. There is a little typo that's >> Are you okay if I share this email that I sent to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, under 1A, and I can go back to 1A if you would like, if you want to be that specific, but under 1A, I'm proposing that we do away with the application and approval process. The draft CKA uses language that the employee or volunteer will provide the district notice of their intent to conceal carry. We want to get away from the application process and the approval process as that is not required in the
081new law. Remember, the big controversy was how are we going to approve these employees that wanted to concealed carry? So there was an application process, a psychological evaluation and the board went to a committee. Committee made a recommendation to the board. Board had final decision. But what the law did away anyone with a concealed carry can you permit can carry a weapon. So that was an additional burden on our own employees. So the requested change on 1A closely follows the new law but at the same time requires the employee who is going to concealed carry to provide us notice and it's very clear in the law it is employee and any volunteer. So both of those you'll see in the language. So that's my proposal for 1 A is that we change that not to
082be an approval process. 1G parent notification is not found in the new law as anyone with a concealed carry permit can carry in schools. I want to take the annual notification u of parents out of new CKA and is not required in the new law. We did provide notice in the paper this year as per old CKA. We will still in other words we had to provide a notice that employees were going to conceal carry. We didn't have to tell them who, but just that someone was going to conceal carry. Well, the law superseded that. Anyone with a concealed carry can carry in our schools. So, again, it was an additional burden on our employees. Um, we will continue to have the notices at every location that we've had before that our staff will take
083the higher road and will carry someone. So, I don't think that's a stretch. Again, I think it's just something that we've it was one of those check marks that we had to put in the original policy that I think would be better without it. And then, um 3D, we will still require a post incident drug test. That is part of a different district policy, but we want to remove that from CKA. Again, as we went through all the legal issues we had, one of the things we were asked to do is, okay, what happens if there's a shooting? Well, we purposely added some steps to protect ourselves which duplicated policy. So, anytime there's an accident, which a shooting in a school would certainly be an accident or an incident, there will be a post incident
084drug test. Um, it also required a post incident psychological evaluation. >> Psychological evaluations aren't anywhere in the new law. So, again, it was an additional burden to our employees. Um, I don't think that was a safety issue. We probably uh in the medical issues with return to work. We we want to make sure that an individual who did participate in a school shooting was ready to return to work and that's part of that uh post incident drug test that we already have in policy and it's very well written. It's part of our transportation policy. Okay. So, that was that one I request to move. Um and then the psychological valuation is not required in the new law. So it has been removed from the draft CKA rule. So anyone in the public, they don't have
085to take a psychological evaluation. They just have to get a concealed carry permit. So requiring that our employees did it was an additional burden that uh uh again I don't know if that was fair. We had much higher standards for our employees which we do anyway. So that's kind of streamlining so we stick close to the law. Um original CK we put so many additional things in there to be proactive to counter those that were opposed. I don't think we have to do that now because it's law of our state that you can carry in schools with a concealed carry permit. >> Yeah. >> So my question is as far as notification on those individuals who go into concealed carry. Who are the ones that are going to be notified in each of the buildings?
086>> Is it going to be the principal or is that something we still got to determine? Okay. >> Yeah. Administrator. It's written in the in the new CKA. The big thing is, of course, the the school administrator, uh, local law enforcement, and the notice comes to the district, so the district administration will know. Part of my um what I anticipate is the board is still going to see those. So, as boards, I think you need to know who is getting approved or who will be uh who's gone through the training um and that so you'll still receive notice. So, I think you guys are in there, too. If not, I'll make sure that's there. >> Make sure that's not my district email cuz I can't access I cannot find that either. Not that it matters
087now, but the uh only other thing while he's looking. Well, um yeah, that's what happened. That's why I didn't get it. Uh >> you want it to your other email? >> It's the only Yeah, I I can't get >> You don't get You want I send stuff to you all the time. No wonder you've been quiet. >> I've been very quiet. If during the notice period, the 55 days, anyone talks to you on the street, grocery store, whatever, make a note of it in simply make a note of whatever the comment was, whatever the discussion was, so that we can respond to that just like a written comment. >> Okay. So later in the agenda, you will approve Yeah. the notice to >> with the changes that >> with the changes we discussed. >> Okay.
088>> Any questions, concerns, comments? Hopefully we don't get sued three times on this one. >> Yeah. >> That's all I had there. >> Okay. Move on. >> Yep. Any questions at all, guys? >> Nope. Okay. strategic pan plan pathway to excellence. Um it's going to look really familiar. Um we didn't get very far into this at the retreat. Um probably the part we did is we identified some critical incidents as we added a few things and we modified. Um but personally I think it's good that there not a lot of changes in terms of expectations from the board. So this is uh we haven't modified our vision or mission. These are the board goals. Uh our primary focus still is on a pathway to excellence which is our uh strategic plan. Um we will use
089high reliability schools framework as our school improvement framework. Uh we are invested in uh PLC's which is also part of that uh number one goal. We had a I think a really good training today with our schools uh to kind of revitalize our PLC processes and continue to improve in that. Um you can see that uh really the only school that we have left to be certified level three is Horizon and they are in the process. they've actually applied and they have a uh certifier, what do you call them, that will come be coming out and working with them to get them certified level three and then the rest have to reertify. So as we go through the school year and those buildings report to you, they'll also report where they are with the high
090reliability schools. I still can't say that very fast. Um so that's also the second bullet deals with where we are with that as we continue to go forward. we really have not ad advanced any direction with um level four certification in our secondary schools. I think that needs to be driven by them and so if we hear uh during the district goals that that's something they want, we'll modify that as we go forward with this. Um and then the third bullet I did add focus on critical issues because we did discuss that um critical issues that we talked about at the retreat which includes life skills citizenships, positive behavior support, anti-bullying, healthy living strategies, social emotional health um of students and staff and accountability. I did add a section on the critical issues dealing with
091um security of students as a stretch to make sure that we're providing um safeguards in place for all students and all student populations. Um there are some some worries out there with uh certain student populations and we want to be sensitive to that and ready to act if we need to. So, okay. And then improve district communications will always be a goal. Um met with the radio station today. We're going to have a monthly piece on community chat and focus on what we're doing and how we're doing it. I really think we need to do a better job communicating our uh test results. All of those above in terms of what we're doing in this community and how we're doing it. Um I've had a glimpse at our test scores. Um, very impressive. I think
092you're going to be very pleased when we get to present those. They're embargoed still, so we can't share them, but I think the 28th of August they're released, and so soon after that, we'll make a presentation to you where we are. Um, again, very impressed with where we are with that. We'll begin working with the uh principles and directors and modifying the district goals. I'll be honest, I think they're going to be pretty close to where we are. We're staying the course. We're moving forward. Uh we're making growth. So, um you're not approving this tonight, but I want to make sure you're aware of what this looks like because it will go to the staff next week as our strategic plan. You'll approve this in September. >> So, if you have concerns, questions, additions, uh
093please, uh let's get them in there. Um our critical commitments haven't changed. This is where you get into a little more specific specifics about what we're talking about. Uh challenging guaranteed viable curriculum. Uh response to interventions based on academic behavior and attendance, strong administrative team, staff efforts and high level of discipline and professionalism. Uh conservative fiscal planning and budget implementation. Uh and then non-negotiables. I I think uh we have a I'll say stable as a very positive thing a very stable administrative team that are committed to student learning and that's what PLC process is about and that's what we're working hard on. Um I read a thing today in the Cowboy State Daily about uh Utah retirees coming to Evston and all the reasons why they're coming. The one reason that uh was kind of
094I think left out is the quality of schools that we offer and how that supports our community. But we do uh that part is still a kind of one of those hidden gems, but anyway something we should be very proud of. So I one of the things in Rey's presentation is this idea of how nice the kids were to each other. Wouldn't that be neat if we had a visitor come to our school and say, "Hey, the kids are so respectful." Something we're working on. Um, I can tell you that the changes we've made, changes and additions we've made to support behavior is having an impact in our schools and I I think you heard that from our principles that uh we've made some good changes and we'll continue to focus on what we can
095to modify our students um and improve our students behavior. Any questions about that? >> Okay. Want me to move on? >> Yes. >> Okay. Back to school activities. We talked a little bit in executive session. Just to make sure you guys know, you're invited to everything. You're welcome to come. Um we start tomorrow really with our uh teacher our new teacher um training. Uh and that's Wednesday and Friday right here. Uh tomorrow 7:30 in the in this room again. We'll have a breakfast and then we start uh inducting our new staff. Again, uh we're lucky to get them and we want to keep them and that's part of the process. Uh next week you can see the teacher work day on Monday. Uh it's a building in service on Tuesday. Wednesday is our district in
096service. Uh you can see it starts at 7 with a continental breakfast. Um suicide prevention training. We'll talk insurance as the number one concern that was in the staff satisfaction survey. So we'll spend some time with that and then some district in service reviewing our policy manuals. We'll talk a lot about attendance and go through there. Then they spend the second half of the day in building in service and Thursday is also building in service and Friday is a work day for our teachers. First day of school is Monday. So like I said, you're welcome to go to our schools and see what they're working on. Contact the principles, what would be of interest to you and and like I said, kind of see what's going to start the school year. But I can't believe
097we're back already, but we are. Yeah. Wow. If there's no questions, no. >> Mr. O'Neal, you want to come up and talk about the Wyoming High School activities application? You want me to throw this up on the screen, Mr. O'Neal? >> That'd be great. Okay. Excuse me. Dave hurt my back, so I'm struggling a bit. So, what you have before you is is basically um funding for catastrophic insurance for each one of our students who are involved in activities. Uh basically, it's 612. It says 512, but we don't really don't have uh students in the fifth grade participating in those um in our activities for the most part. Um $7 per student and thank goodness we've not had to use that. It's just a safety net. Um, it's an expensive safe safety net, but considering
098insurance costs, $7 per student, it's not it's not that much, but $6,61 for that. And then, uh, the next page is, excuse me, for activity enrollment. These are the activities that we are involved in. Uh, nine boys sports, uh, nine girl sports and 11 activities. Uh, as you can see there, they cost basically from $60 uh up to $650 or $635, excuse me, for soccer. Um, basically that helps offset some of the costs for culminating events. I believe that's where most of it goes to. Um as you can see some of the sports that have higher uh not only high participation but also have high um crowd support or attendance. Um those cost a little bit less and the ones that have less of that cost us a little bit more but uh this covers
099all the 4A activities that we're involved in. You guys have any questions? So we will be 4A in every activity >> except for football. >> Okay. >> With the exception football. We have been. This will be the second year in a row. Couple years ago we were down in 3A for some activities. Uh but now we're we're 4A in everything but football. 3A football >> This year. And and I could see uh that's not going to change anytime soon, >> right? With our enrollment. >> Enrollment. Okay. So out of curiosity um percentage of kids involved in extracurricular activities and how many kids that would be. You have any idea? >> Yeah, it's it's at the top of the page there. Um I go back up. Yeah, go back up. You can see >> Okay, right
100there. >> 289 in in 78. >> Yep. >> Uh 575 the high school. Our our numbers are incredible. Uh they've gone up every year since since I've been in the position. It's We're talking I was actually talking to our golf coach. Golf started on Monday. Um and he has over 20 kids out for for golf. Uh he was expecting even more because our numbers have just been crazy um in every activity. And kids want to be involved. I said it in our retreat. Uh what's really kind of uh a cool thing is that our kids really like our coaches. They really like being around those people and they continue to participate in high numbers. It um doesn't matter how hard or easy it is, doesn't matter to our kids, they want to be involved. They
101want to be involved in their activities because a lot of good things are happening in those settings. I don't know, Miss Woodward's still here. Did she take off? >> Yeah. U She said that the big deal, Sports are a big deal in in Germany. Um I believe sports are a big deal. Activities in general are a big deal in Evston. They want to be in involved in drama and choir and band uh and football and and and fiddly winks. They want to be involved in all of it. That's one of our issues. One of our biggest issues in in our high school and middle school right now are kids wanting to be involved in everything. And where do they find the time to be involved in all of those things? Um they're learning time management,
102which is a a great skill as we as we go on in life. Um they're learning that very quickly here in the middle school and the high school. >> Any other questions? >> Yeah. Yes. You >> talk about involvement and I just know this as a side note. Uh our volleyball program lots of girls want to be involved. >> Yes. >> But we've never done anything about a sophomore coach. Right. >> We have not >> because of the cost. >> Well, we just to interject, we did we had to do away with it because we didn't have funding and we moved to 3A at that time. So, it was it was a funding issue those years back when the the sophomore coach went away. >> Um, the schedules haven't come back to provide the sophomore
103schedule. >> You mean enough other schools that are in involved with that level, correct? >> Yes. >> Okay. And and Chair Peterson will will be able to vouch for this. Even when we had higher numbers in our activities, specifically basketball, volleyball, uh that's what we're talking about. Um it was difficult to get those kids games and it became difficult on the coaches because the parents would complain about their kids only getting eight or nine games, yet they're practicing every day trying to to stay involved. And yes, we can still do that. I can still get eight or nine games. And I still do. I I schedule extra games. If I'm called by, for example, Star Valley has some of the similar situations that we have in terms of numbers. If they call us, uh we'll
104play extra games with those folks. Um but even last year, some of our biggest high schools, and I won't I won't name them, uh biggest high schools in the state had to cancel uh JV games and what we call C team games, where it's our freshman go play those. They would have to cancel them because they didn't have enough kids, specifically on the girls side. Um, volleyball's not the issue. Volleyball, we we could probably get as many, >> right, >> uh, games as we want, but uh, not in basketball. It's very difficult to get, um, more than eight or nine games in basketball. Uh the other thing that that you guys, it's probably not the time or place to talk about this, but to add the the the coaches back that we took away several
105years ago because of budgets. Um to add those back, it was about a $50,000 savings 10 12 years ago. To add those backs back, uh the cost would be far greater than that. >> Greater than. >> Yeah. because we we coach Ferrell who's sitting in the back of the room, he lost a couple of coaches during that process. Uh uh volleyball, basketball each lost one. We lost middle school coaches as well. And to add all of those back because that would be the fair thing to do because our our basketball coaches asked for the same thing. It's not so much um the games or more kids. It's adding another coach, another set of eyes in the gym uh for coaching. Same thing with football. More eyes, the more coaching kids get. But it it's not
106there's not a simple answer, >> right, to that question. >> Just just to add to that, and I think everyone knows how supportive I am of activities, um but it comes down to a numbers game. It always will at a high school level. Uh when you have a basketball team and only five can play at a time and you can keep 12 athletes, it is really challenging to keep 24 freshman, 12 sophomores, 12 JV, and 12 seniors. You just can't do it. There has to be a process where some kids can't continue on. We have two volleyball programs in our middle schools. 24 kids. They go to the high school. We only can keep 12 freshmen, >> right? >> So, at some point, you lost 50% of the kids. It becomes truly a numbers program.
107Our students are so lucky to participate where they participate because they can practice every day. They do get games. Um, a high percentage of them get to play. Larger high schools, very few kids actually make the teams. for our schools. Our kids can make the team and they can play and they can be competitive where uh uh we're a perfect size for that. Would it be great to have more kids participate, but at some point you're going to have to whittle them down to 12 seniors, 12 varsity players? And uh that's the hard reality of that. It's not a philosophical thing that we don't like kids or anything like that. is just a numbers game. When you're talking about volleyball with six, basketball with five, um wrestlers, you can have as many as we want,
108football, we can have as many as we want, indoor track, we can have as many as we want. And we do. And we hire coaches to support those when we get large numbers of kids. But it's just a numbers game. That's the reality of it. And it's hard reality for some. >> And and I truly I don't believe that there's a correlation between your numbers and success. Um, I look at the last state championship football team or game that we played in, the team that we had. There were only 30 35 kids on the team at the end of the year. We have over 90 kids involved in football right now. 912 phenomenal numbers. Um, so is it is it going to lead to success? I hope >> you know we want we want it
109to happen that way. But uh we also want our activities the high school level to be challenging and I think that's what gets lost in these conversations. Um we want the kids to be challenged. It's no longer inter murals. It's no longer um I use junior jazz because that's what everybody knows. Um it's no longer that. It's competitive and the kids that have put the time and effort into being involved in v varsity sports should be allowed to to participate, but it's no longer a recreational activity. It is for those kids that have have raised a level. So that's just again that's philosophical my opinion, you know, but uh you guys can always change that. If you want to add coaches, you can add coaches, but uh there might be some pretty upset people if
110we start taking money out of other others budgets for those things. >> Yeah. >> So, >> anything else? Thank you. >> Thank you. Great. >> Back's not getting any better. >> A little better. Yes. >> Got to stop swinging so hard at that golf ball. Chairman Peterson, members of the board, moving on. Um, review update. JJIF is our concussion policy. This kind of uh uh just kind of popped in at the last minute, but I think it's important that we review policy JJIF. Um and those who deal with this uh have let me know that the policy itself is very very good. But the regulation JJ IFR1 has it's been a while since we've modified it. We no longer use a SCAT 5, it's a SCAT 6. So that's what this was was um we
111sent it to our trainer Jackie. She went through it, modified it to what we're doing. We're changing from the impact testing to a what's the sway testing I believe. Um and so I updated it. So if you look at uh JJ if R1 that is the regulation and one thing about regulations and why I I added it at this last minute a regulation does not have to have board approval. Um but we're going to approve this um just because if you recall the issues we had last time this came about. Um so if you look at JJ R1 the first regulation um it looks not a lot of changes to start moving down. You can see the changes are SCAT 5 to SCAT 6, which is the test that we offer, and Sway Medical. Sway
112is the new test that we'll test all of our athletes, the concussion protocol test. It's a better test. It's on the phone. It provides more flexibility. Of course, it costs a little more, but this is recommended uh to Mr. O'Neal by our uh physical our trainer and physical therapy team. So, the rest of the changes are truly just trying to modify that. There is no substantial change to the policy itself. A lot of wording. Um, and Jackie will review this again since I've gone through it because I did keep a few things in there that I thought were important dealing with parent notification of concussion. And then maybe the most controversial issue is we do not allow a parent to overrule the concussion protocol. So in other words, if you're in the concussion protocol, you're
113in the concussion protocol. A medical doctor could say there was no concussion and wave the protocol. We still require the students to go through the cons consist the phase protocol to return to sport. I don't know how we could not do that. If we have our people saying there was evidence of a concussion, we need to follow through with that. So, that's built into this regulation. That hasn't changed. Um Bob, anything else that you would add with those changes? >> No, not at all. I think um Jackie is just trying to stay on top of what the latest information is. I think that's great that she's doing that. Um, I don't think there's anything major in terms of changes that are taking place. And I think Mr. Thomas hit the nail on the head. The
114most important thing is parents cannot um sign a kid's life away. And that's what the concussion protocol is all about. kids are going to go through it. Um, we're going to make sure that they go through it and Jackie is going to play on the safe side, which I appreciate. >> Any questions about that? So, I've asked that you approve this regulation at first reading tonight. Um, and then you read through it, you have questions, I'll have send Jackie through it again, um, Mr. O'Neal. But um most of the changes, like I said, were to take just uh conversational language out and put the right language in. Uh cuz when we did this all those years ago and had all the controversy, we put everything in there. Again, we just put some too much in
115there. So, we've straightened it out. I'll have Mr. uh uh Phillips go through it and make sure we're there, too. But uh anyway, that's what that is. >> Any questions? Anything else? >> No. >> Okay. >> No, I guess my question was you're asking us to approve it on first reading, but then you just commented on Phillips going through it. So, do we need to is he going to go through it in the next 10 minutes? >> No, you guys know what first reading is. You can make changes once. >> Yeah, >> he better get going if he's going to do that. >> So, like I said, that's why we do two readings is if there are changes, he can make them. We'll show you the changes. Um, assembly does a nice job to showing
116you all the corrections and like I said, we can change the color so you can see what's changed from here, too. So, anyway, >> and then you can see an exhibit JJ IF. That was one of the things that assembly allows us to do. This is the return to um what do they call it? Return to head injury return to play form. >> So it's actually linked as a form. Parents have access, doctors have access. They just print it off and fill it out. >> So that's what the exhibit is. >> Any questions? Okay. If I move on policy JJ, oh, excuse me. Uh, JFC and almost sounds dirty when you go through that really fast, but um, just kind of put this in perspective why this has kind of popped up too. We had
117a discussion and we kind of talked with the high school uh principal Kohler and they're making some changes to their uh cell phone use polic policy. Really all we have from the district is a statement that each principal will make a cell phone use policy. What that did and I saw it last year is it put all the heat on our principles. >> So I put this policy together so we take the heat. It should be us. this is really kind of what's out there. Uh sent it to the principles, they provided some feedback. Sent it to transportation, they provided feedback. This is a restrictive policy. Um and that's really I think the way most states and schools are going more restricted. Um K8, no issues with this. They kind of did this anyway. So
118this is truly 912. And there'll be some heartache and want you to make sure you know what we're asking. So, I'm going to go through this with a little more detail. Um, student use of electronic and smart devices, phones, tablets, earphones, and smartwatches uh on school grounds at school sponsored activities and while under the supervision and control of school district employees is a privilege which will be permitted only under certain circumstances described in this policy. The unauthorized use of such devices disrupts the instructional program and distracts from the learning environment. Uh the research is not even questionable anymore. Uh the distraction that cell phones are causing and the disruption to schools. The use of cell phones during instructional time is prohibited except under special circumstances authorized by the building administrator. It is advised that students
119keep their electronic devices at home. Devices brought to school must be non-accessible, kept in the students backpack, vehicle, purse, locker, etc. and must be turned off during the school day, including the following places and times. What the high school is getting to is this, but they were going to allow the kids a tool to take their phone and put it in a jacket and keep it locked away. It's just another thing to disrupt what we do. It's just easier to say, "No, keep them at home, keep them in your backpack, keep them in your car. You don't need a special jacket that locks and we have to unlock it for you at the end of the school day." um that may be a tool you can use if a student violates this policy but overall
120I think it's just time we say keep your cell phones at home okay so uh following places and times while at school field trips excursions which are conducted during the normal school day coaches sponsors may exclude devices during school sponsored activity trips that require extended travel and or during an overnight stay which they've already done that at the high school district transportation to and from school. Um, this is new. Um, spent some time, it was recommended by one of our principles that we do this because of the issues they've had with behavior issues on the bus with phones and the distraction it's caused there. Um, so I talked to Mr. Fackerel and asked him what he thought. He sees there's some issues with it, but he agrees this needs to happen. We have some routes
121that are longer routes and having kids ability to be on the phone may be a distraction, but they've used them for inappropriate purposes. So, he thought it's good. It's time to just say no on route buses. So, the way this works for school, you step on the bus, the phone should be tucked away and off. And it's off until you step off the school bus. Much more restrictive policy than we had last year. Let's see what else. Assemblies, pep rallies, and other activities which may take place during the regular school class. The building principal, coach sponsor, route or activity driver may authorize the use of cell phones by students in special circumstances. And I just put emergency contact, health monitoring, delayed or extended travel. Still have to have some flexibility. Um I can see a
122coach saying, "Hey, we're 30 miles from home. Call your parents. Make sure they're there to pick you up." I think that's legitimate. Um, then the other part I think is also equally important as you continue on, of course, the school is not responsible if they're stolen, which we've had to deal with that a lot. Um, this is key. Students that operate a cell phone or other electronic devices with video or photographic capabilities in a locker room, bathroom, hotel room that violate the privacy rights of another person shall be subject to state and federal law and school discipline up to and including expulsion. >> We've dodged bullets with that, but it's time that we don't dodge anymore. Uh unauthorized use of electronic devices is grounds for confiscation of the device by school officials, including classroom teachers
123and supervisory employees, which includes bus drivers. A first or second offense shall require confiscation of the device to be turned in to the school administration. Confiscated devices will be returned to the student or to the students parents or guardians at the end of the school day at the discretion of the administrator. Repeated offenses will be considered as insubordination and may result in additional disciplinary action as determined by student handbook and the administration. And probably the most important part of this policy, students can use school phones as necessary. Every school has phones available for students. During passing time, they can go call. In addition, each school office can take messages from parents, guardians, and get those messages to your student regarding after school plans, appointments, and any emergencies. So, I think it's important to stay because
124typically the argument is I want to be able to get a hold of me if there's an emergency. Well, they can get on the school phone and call. I want to get a hold of them if there's an emergency. Call the office. We'll get right to them. We've done that for 60 years in our school. >> So, I'm recommended that you approve this policy. Again, it's been vetted by our principles, but not in detail. It hasn't been vetted by um Mr. Phillips. So, I'd say it goes to him again, but I'm recommending that you approve this. At least this will allow the high school to work on their policies before school starts. >> Good. >> Second polic second reading will be in September. >> Okay. >> Questions? >> Nothing new. I don't know if you
125saw the and I think it was a school district in Utah that reported back on their basically doing away with phones at schools and their number one thing they said is the kids are talking to each other at lunch they're smiling. They're having fun instead of this. So >> if I might Ryan this was from San Antonio where Mr. Woodward and myself attended. This is one of the slides they brought up and I'll just read this top section here. Excessive smartphone use can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in regions associated with emotional regulation, cognitive control resulting in increased impulsivity and reduced emotional stability. I mean, I outside of the fact they're distractions in school. I mean, they just don't it's not a good thing to be on them, the amount that these
126kids are on them. I mean, it's just and there's, like you said, it's overwhelming uh research that tells us it's not a good thing for them. Okay. Hey, our principles, especially at the high school, will still take heat. So, just again, now it's a >> and they'll take heat from parents, but also some of the staff that don't see this as an issue. Now, it is a district policy. It needs to be followed. >> Yeah. >> And enforced by >> and enforced. Y >> but I think it's better that like you said, if it's a board, >> you guys may take some heat before the next board meeting, too. >> They're welcome to come. They're welcome to come find me if they're mad about it. >> I have no problem with it. >> Want a
127little side note? >> Yeah. >> My last year at Everson High School, I had one fight, two girls, damn cell phones. That's how long this has been going on. It's not something that's And we've always had to deal with it. And this I really think this is going to help a lot more because it's the district policy now. >> Yeah. That's all I have with that principles. Any comments out there? We appreciate this work. >> It helps. >> It does. >> Yeah, we support it. >> All I ask is, Mr. Felro, please have boards that act as tables on your activity buses for poker games. >> Poker. I was going to say if we take away cell phones, these students for better or worse may discover some of the things that we used to do.
128>> That's what I'm saying. >> Lost a lot of money to me back in the days. >> Amen. >> That's all I had, chairman. >> Okay. Any more questions or comments on cell phones? >> Okay. We will now move on to public comments. So if anybody has any comments, they can come before the board. >> Wow. >> Crystal Peterson, 311 Clarkson. I was sitting at home watching the board meeting and I just felt impressed that I needed to come. I should have come in June, but I was with a grandbaby. and just thank the board again for the um increase on our base, the raises that we're able to get, the steps for people like me who are veterans old that don't really have a place to go any further. I more experience. There you
129go. I thanked uh Mr. uh Thomas a few weeks ago, but I want to make sure come in and express that gratitude as well. and also the uh no changes increases on insurance. So that was all very wonderful. So thank you for your work and thanks to the um committee the staff committees that were involved with that as well. So thank you. >> Thank you to you. >> Any other public comments? >> Okay, no more comments. We will move on to our action items. So, I need a motion to approve the personnel contract for the uh um individual that we discussed in the executive session. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion by Jenny, second by Caleb. >> Any discussion? All in favor say I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Fantastic. I need a motion
