002the human ex proposal information and action I just wanted to we mentioned it in our open meeting last week but we did not um there wasn't a lot of information so I just wanted to read a short um summary of it that I shared with Dina suite and other dcta leadership members in the email this morning so [Music] humanex provides various surveys follow-up support and other tools to organizations to measure our to measure multiple areas and they work with many school districts in Northern Illinois and Chicago land they have come highly recommended to us in the survey and slash tool that we're looking to approve tonight is called Insight X that tool is specific to climate and culture and will provide feedback to building leaders District administration and the superintendent it involves a 10 to
00315 minute survey to all staff and every bargaining unit at all levels certified and uncertified and we believe this will give us a much more comprehensive snapshot of the district it is a research-based survey that is analyzed by human X further ensuring more anonymity than we can ever provide internally the survey provides provides feedback in 15 domains of climate and culture after the survey is analyzed human X does in-person follow-up sessions with each building that lasts 60 to 90 minutes they will then support the creation of action steps for improvement at the building level end at the district level in order to support the Dei diversity equity and inclusion work that we have been doing we're looking to add the Dei component that adds about five minutes to the survey it is Our intention that
004this survey will be implemented twice a year once in the fall and once in the spring this Cadence provides an opportunity for leaders to check if strategies to improve culture and climate are working or need to be changed improving culture and climate will be one of the superintendent's goals with our goals with a measurable recommended standard once the first survey is completed this fall um so with that are there any questions or any discussion that we need to have around this I was going to say are we going to discuss I know it's been highlighted um but there's a lot of stuff highlighted um is is everything that we've highlighted something that we want to do or is it just the um no it's just the so we were waiting on a couple more documents
005from him but he's I I'm following up with him again he hasn't come back to us but what we were looking at specifically and what we discussed in detail with the human ex representative is the Insight X staff engagement climate and culture survey which is yeah you see that one yeah and yep that's 14 with a three year contract and we um without its keep actually I actually don't know the answer to that I'm sorry why they said um for that contract is because of the follow-up continuance of like the suggestions and the feedback and then it like shifts uh two different aspects SEO would be included at a later time as well um they like the three years because it gives them a cycle basically to show that this is working will you be
006doing a serving before the next board meeting uh surveys so the soonest that we could have surveys out and back are by the end of October early November so I guess what I would say or suggest to the board is that we make this information and then make it action next week or Tuesday board meeting so that will that will push it out into November which then kind of gets to holidays and that's just that would delay the process it would delay the process he's waiting just until it's about a month from when we sign a contract so when would you sign the contract with them well if we approve it potentially we would sign the contract this week first of all because it's I think if we tell them we'll do it but we
007want fourteen thousand dollars fair price we could probably get it we should have someone here that can negotiate vendors hopefully in my so I just I know how this works so anyway that said I like the engagement one I went through them all yeah just because I wanted to like have this conversation and see what happens but the two that jumped off the page of me that I was like you know we could just start with one of them and see how it goes because that was his suggestion dig your toe in the pool however I think something that Casey and I talked about recently I wonder how much do engagement drives culture and we have an issue of student engagement here so I'm kind of really interested to see what kind of data we
008would get back from that so I could probably be impressed to be both simultaneously and I don't like to spend money but I like data and if they can figure out something that we don't already know about our student engagement that could be massively helpful in why we want to wait on that on that for 12 Grand we spend money on worst things I could probably find them in the budget right now so I just think that's something else I wanted to throw out for you guys do you so I'm hearing two different things one is maybe wait to bring this back for approval anyways two is adding that I would maybe say we maybe we could have them come talk to us about that and make sure that it lines up with um you
009know what we're doing in in the district already I agree with you though a student to kind of look at student engagement could be really beneficial I've just never seen anything kind of one and so I just caught my attention and I thought it would be a really interesting way to put them to the test right because we already had a culture survey and I've seen tons of them so it's like I'm sure there's been on it's going to be cool and it's probably right I think you would have liked the presentation I think you would have because a lot of it sounds also based on like the recommendations that we got even from the security uh assessment and like how they provided us with feedback and support some of the things that they said
010is that even um will receive feedback from direct staff but also the principles will receive feedback from the culture that is displayed within their own school because they said that obviously every school has its own culture so he's he talked about like 75 different cultures that we tap into some of it is in connection with students some of it is with parents some of it is with you know engagement with the community and he said that that can actually Provide support for the actual principles to also create their own goals that surround that are surrounded also with our superintendents that align in a way of how can we also help with the assessment of the principles and how can we establish and shift the culture within the specific schools as well we also said that
011they are not unused to seeing around 80 percent responses which is pretty huge compared to what we've seen and do you think it's because everyone that's filling it out feels comfortable because it's a third party I think that's part of it and also um there's you know a specific communication plan that they provide us that gets out there and says this is how it's going to used and then when they follow up with those in-person feedback sessions it's kind of under upholds that this is how it's going to be used and then you do it again in the spring and you can see where you've shipped it's so like that cycle of it builds that response rate and engagement with it but that's I I'm sure it's going to be cool but I agree too
012with Jeremy with setting regarding the student engagement one and even the SEO one I mean it sounded like a great you know a great one too but I will be open to that as well I mean I just thought one would be unlike anything we'd ever seen so we get to see what they did was something we've never seen before and then that would be two different data points for us to look at and say okay these guys are legit you know we won less than this that's why I was hoping for it to be like a one-year agreement with an option for you know two more years um I will be honest I didn't ask but but don't see why don't you call them I don't know and he did mention too that um
013that that chamber has been using them for 10 years and that they are they have become their model in the area because they have actually shifted like the culture that they have actually 100 certainly one of their schools had 100 responses plus so what I would probably do is like get them to see if I can get them to this place right which is first thing is ask them what what is the price for one year because you only gave me the three year contract two is if we like you then we're going to sign you for three years and I want through the price on the other one as well and if we don't like you and we sack you then we'll pay you the one your price so am I hearing we want
014to bring this back as a not move on it tonight and I'm only asking oh you're okay I don't know about everybody else I don't oh I see what you're saying but still go back and say yeah if you want to I mean I don't care approve that part I see what you're saying I don't see any of those saying we don't want this and I'm just trying to say like do we want just the one or do we really want to add another one that I think is kind of cool well I think I don't have I don't have a problem with adding something additional like that I mean I suggested that last time too I think that that could be really valuable um because what you're saying and describing what they're able to
015do is really like remarkable I mean like if we I mean that's what we really ultimately want my concern I guess is just that like for transparency sake like this information action information actually I feel like we need to be conscious of our public and conscious of our district and how people are perceiving our movement um and I will say the only reason we put it on for Action is because it was tied to a goal but right and I get that I guess like we're good like last meeting just had like the information about it before we had even you guys even had the presentation like the information that you're sure maybe just kind of starting to do just so we have that right right we weren't able to yeah we have like what
016you guys were able to share with us before you know what I mean we didn't meet with them until after our last meeting right but what you shared with us Oh you mean like yeah like if we could have showed that I see yes yes I mean it's a survey right I mean right I get what you're saying though because you know well we had a problem but we had an email from dcta this morning and it's and it's so like I think we want to make sure no I understand people are feeling very comfortable about what we're doing so I think maybe then because that creates Clements absolutely but if we try to if we try to improve it tonight then maybe that yeah you need to send an email out tomorrow to everybody
017and say Hey you know board is decided we're going to do this this is why I think we should probably communicate it pretty boldly right away because at the end of the day the reason that I want to move quicker personally um is because my nerve is already into the ear well that's well that's why I am because it's kind of screwing her you want the longer yeah now all of a sudden it doesn't look like she really did as much that's why I asked the bus waiting one week to approve it would delay the process if it doesn't explain the process at all then we are more transparent we're going on a week from straight and it moves through it yeah I mean this is what she said it's somewhat a minimal delay potentially
018I don't know yeah like that's so I mean you can say the weak delay or is it going to push I don't know I don't know I don't know for sure you can tell them that I mean there's you don't think that there's anything that's gonna going against it will pass but for transparency yeah that's why I don't want to delay the process I just I'm cognizant of our it's a good point and I trust building from the time so are we is this someone moving to the table list well before we tell them what are we tabling are we tabling the initial I think it would be to include something else with the stipulation that one year with the option well I think it would be tabled and then we would try to get
019in touch with them again and then bring it back as maybe options so and as we work out all the details yeah are you going to call them and negotiate it I don't know you don't need to know that yeah sure sure um yeah get them to burn down that price okay I need someone to make that recommendation remove that the table this discussion so next week typical is there a second okay roll call please please yes David Seymour yes Amanda harness yes Anthony David yes Sarah Moses yes Ariel Owens yes Jeremy Ellison yes that'll give us a little bit of time to get all this negotiating down here all right and with that the meeting will be adjourned is there a motion or it is recommended the Board of Education will adjourn sorry is
020there a motion so moved second
