001Okay, good evening everybody. We're going to go ahead and get the meeting started. Welcome to the board of education meeting for community consolidated school district 46 this evening, Wednesday, February 25th, 2026, 6 pm here at Frederick School. I need a call to order, please. >> Mac >> here. >> Braden, absent. Nash absent. Halverson here. Hun here. Miller here. And Weedman >> here. >> Okay. Thank you. We have a quorum. Please join me for the pledge. Thank you. I need a motion to approve this evening's agenda, please. >> I'll move. I'll second. >> Okay. >> Miller. >> I. Mac. >> I. >> Halverson. >> I. >> Weedman. >> I. >> And Hume. I >> Okay, agenda is approved. Thank you very much. Uh public comments. Do we have any public comments signed up down there? >>
002Yes. >> Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. >> I think I press the button on there too if it's on. >> Thank you. Okay. Good evening. Some of the officers of both unions are unable to be here tonight due to family commitments that could not be changed. Their absence today is simply a matter of scheduling and they stand fully aligned with the message being shared this evening on behalf of both the Graves Lake Federation of Teachers and the PSRP unions. We want to begin by saying that we are grateful for the board's unwavering service to the district and for the open and welcoming relationships that have been built with both unions. that collaboration matters, especially in moments when difficult conversations may be on the horizon. We are watching what is happening in surrounding districts and across the
003state. With ongoing uncertainty around state and federal funding, we recognize that many boards are being asked to make challenging financial decisions. We understand the weight of that responsibility. Historically, when budgets tighten, the most immediate place districts look is staffing. It is the most visible line on a spreadsheet, but it is also the line most directly connected to the day-to-day experiences of students. Teachers and pair professionals are the boots on the ground, the adults providing instruction, intervention, supervision, and support every single day. If financial adjustments become necessary, we urge the board to think broadly and creatively about how these adjustments are approached. We would encourage consideration of areas such as operational efficiencies and purchasing and vendor contracts, cooperative or shared services agreements, energy usage reviews and utility savings, reducing printing, paper use, and non-essential consumables. Reviewing
004software platforms and subscription redundancies, limiting travel, conference, and discretionary expenditures. phasing large purchases over time, exploring additional grants, facility usage efficiencies, and scheduling adjustments. There are many ways districts can tighten budgets. Some approaches preserve classroom experiences more than others. Our hope is that any decisions that reflect a balanced approach, one that carefully considers the impact on the students we serve and the staff who work most closely with them every day. We appreciate your time and your continued commitment to thoughtful decision-making. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. >> Okay. Next on the agenda is the presentation this evening uh by food service by organic life this evening. Welcome back. And again the red light should be on on that microphone if it if it is. Yeah. >> Hello. Okay. It's good. Good evening
005everyone. Um thank you for your time this evening. I'm here to present um a food service update so far this year. Oh, perfect. Yes, thank you. Great. Okay, so we'd like to start this evening with um daily participation just to kind of outline and see where we are monthtomonth. So, as you could see, we have a bar graph over here and um the gray the tall lines are the um lunch participation that we have. So, as you can see, we've which is really phenomenal. We've been increasing participation um in breakfast and lunch actually all across the board I would say um each month. There is a dip in January which is very common when there's less students at school perhaps coming after a winter break and the cold months and the flu season. So we
006do expect that to come down a little dip and then it tends to come back up in the springtime. So that's been pretty great to see the participation has been increasing. This year, what's new? Um, at the elementary schools, we are now offering two daily choices for the students. At Park and Frederick, we've increased the daily choices for them as well. Um, GMS has always had the most choices and we've introduced more to them as well, such as yogurt perfase. Um, and we did receive new uh convection of ovens at GMC. So, GMS, I should say, sorry. So, that's been um that's been great as well. Composting has continued. Um we are composting now at all of the schools in the district. Um we are utilizing five compartment molded compostable trays as the one in
007the picture that you see. Um we switched from sport kits to compostable individual forks and individual spoons. So um a student doesn't have to grab a whole sport kit. Um they can just grab what that what they need. And those are the pictures as you can see as well. that's being utilized at all the schools. We had um put out a survey for the students this year um in order to get some feedback from them on different things and to us it's very important to know what's important to them so that we can better service them and what we can do to improve their experience here in the cafeteria. So, um it's always interesting to see their responses and the biggest thing that as you can see through the survey is that they're looking for
008multiple choices daily. That's important to them. So, that is something that we were able to do this year and we will continue and plan to do in future um years as well because um we certainly our goal is always to get as many kids as we can to eat breakfast and lunch with us. So when they have the choices that they like, more choices, then we can certainly get more students into the cafeteria as well. And of course, all the other factors are just as important to us. Um, but just to give you a little insight about what's important to our customer. A few fan favorites. Um, just to illustrate a little bit, there's the yogurt parfets that we've introduced this year for the students. Um, pizza day is always super popular and a favorite.
009the pulled pork flatbread um meal was a new one this year along with the grilled ranch club sandwich. So, we're always trying to utilize new new recipes, new items, new um new things for the students so that they don't get bored of the same thing um day after day, which is why having different variety and options for the students is very important. Uh we celebrated National Banana Bread Day. We like to utilize as many holidays and celebrations as we can to keep it fun and exciting for the students. Um here was Valentine's Day just a few weeks back. We had a slushie cup to go with their meal. It's 100% um 100% fruit, but certainly all the kids love that. Uh coming up we have Cinco de Mayo. We'll do a taco bar. And then
010of course next week, which is just right around the corner, we have National School Breakf Breakfast Week, which is a week to um to really get more kids if we can to come eat breakfast because that of course is the most important meal of the day. So we'll have some new breakfast items that week. We'll have a lucky tray day um with a little sticker. So if they if they happen to have the lucky tray, they get a prize and um just to make it fun and exciting for the kids. Thank you for your partnership, support, and opportunity to serve the students. It's always a pleasure. >> Thank you very much for that update. Any questions or comments from board members? >> Mrs. Miller? >> Um, just one. So, last year you told us you
011had two corporate goals. One of them was to develop new balanced whole food recipes on your menu. And the second was to expand our network of eco-friendly agricultural pro um partners. So I was wondering how our menus reflect the progress on that first goal of um more whole food recipes. >> Yeah. So this year we've um been working on a recipe um mosaic. Well, it's a software recipe software where we're incorporating more chefdriven um made from scratch recipes. So we have a huge amount um that we're working and bringing into the district. So that's been super great and exciting and um we have certainly incorporated more scratchmade items into the recipes. Some examples like a chicken stir fry um even the pizzas we make from scratch pastas. So, um, that's been great and we've been
012certainly doing more and more and we continue continue to do more in the future as well >> and at our schools too. You're able to do that. Okay, great. >> Um, and then for the second one, I'm just wondering what if you know what percentage of total food spending in our district goes toward locally um or regionally sourced products. >> I wouldn't know the percentage off the top of my head. I would have to run a report for that. But we are um we are doing what we can and purchasing what we can when we can that's made available to us locally. Um recently um we have been in communication with um the CLC which they are developing a farm called Urban Farm Center. Um hopefully they do plan to have it completed this summer
013and we've already been in contact with them. Um, they say that they hope to grow 72,000 heads of lettuce. So, I'm really hoping we could utilize some of that into our district here, which is just a few miles down the street. So, that's super exciting. So, anything that we can do and when we can get it from our purveyor, we are um bringing it in here. >> That's wonderful. Anything getting easier, anything getting harder, anything changing that I know I'm kind of c I might be catching you off. >> No, that's okay. I'll let Amber answer that. >> Not really. Um, I feel like it's actually been getting Sorry, I feel like it's been kind of getting easier. We're knowing what the kids like and what they want and we're just building on that as
014we go throughout the months. Um to hope to bring in more food next year that they'll like, kind of doing more research on more recipes, how to utilize more fresh veggies and fruits in their um meals to kind of get them to eat the the fruit and veggies. Thank you, Other comments or questions? Okay, thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Okay, that brings us to the section of the agenda for board reports. I'll I'll start down with Mr. Weedman today. >> I have >> Okay, Mrs. Miller, >> I have no report. >> Nothing. >> Mrs. You have no report. >> I have no report. >> No report. I do not have any report either except to welcome I believe we have high school students here this evening. Yes. How many do we have?
015Three from all from central. Okay. Welcome to this evening. Yeah. There's there's there's cake tonight. So, you're going to want to hold on for that. Not every board meeting has cake. Although we should, but this this one this one does. Frosting. This one does. So, you've come at the right time and you can, you know, brag about that to everybody who came to previous board meetings that didn't have cake. All right. Okay. Well, since none of us had a report, I'm going to hand it over to Dr. Goodman for the superintendent's report. >> Thank you. Our team does have a brief report. I'm just going to start on board. I know you were very busy coming in today. You had a close session first. So, I don't know if you had a chance to take
016a look at the posters that are out in the media center, but we do have posters um showing the designs and colors for our four updated media centers that will the four media centers that will be updated this summer. Um, and they're just beautiful. We will also have um copies of those posters at those four schools during parent teacher conferences this spring so that people can start taking a look at them um and just really to build the excitement. So if you didn't get a chance to look at them yet, please do on your way out later along with anyone in the audience. They're really they're just gorgeous. And then um I'm just handing the superintendent report over to the team and I think we have something first from Dr. for Lorenzo and then for
017Miss Bogren and then for Miss Sluck. We'll have you start. >> Hello. >> Okay. Um I'm just going to read this lovely um announcement that we have here. Um uh the Route 83 showdown is back and bigger than ever.

018and tickets are just $5 per person for a fun night celebrating our schools, first responders, and the Grace Lake community. >> Over. >> Good evening, board. Um, I'm thrilled to share with you some updates in regard to our two-way dual language programming and planning. I wanted to share with you that we have begun um our family information sessions that we have been having. We began in December um and that one was specifically hosted by our impact group and we had um a virtual meeting on February 17th which was very well attended. So I was uh very pleased with that turnout. We had one this week as well at Avon Center School and we have um two more planned for both Prairie View and Park Campus. So, I'm um very thrilled with the interest. We have
019been monitoring the online registration process as well, collecting all the data of those families that have um elected the box that yes, I'm interested in dual language programming. Um and there has been some great feedback and questions as well. So, um, with that being said, as well, I wanted to kind of unveil when you all have a moment, please go into our district website and take a gander at the uh, amazing abilities of our colleague Leslie Armstrong and the development of our two-way dual language page. You will see all of the um, kind of product of much planning and collaboration that has been going on all school year thus far. So, some exciting advancements. Um, I did want to mention certainly for you board, but also for our families listening in this evening. Um, that
020we have a uh near uh deadline coming April 10th for families interested in the potential to enter into a lottery if indeed we need to have a lottery. And the lottery will happen on none other than tax day. We thought that was perfectly fitting. No one will forget that lot dual two-way dual language lotteryies and I have it on tax day. So um I will keep you all ab breast of any additional updates and thank you again for your support. >> Good evening board. Uh so I would like to talk about the upcoming uh Graves Lake community art fair. Um and throughout the month of March, March starts this weekend if you weren't aware. Um it's crazy.

025>> Like I said there's cake but that's coming later. Got wait for us to finish. So everybody we need to have short conversations so people can Okay. We do not have any uh unfinished business on the agenda tonight but we do have a number of things on the new business side. So we'll go ahead and start off with the contract renewal with GSF nighttime custodial services for the 26 27th school year. Handing that over to you, Mr. Wildman. >> Yes, the administration recommends renewing the contract with GSF for the upcoming school year. Um the cost is just over $1 million, close to 1.1 million. Um the district, the administration is satisfied with the service and performance we've received over the last year. Uh the price is limited to a CPI increase which is the December
0262024 CPI as per the original bid specifications. This is a one-year extension allowed under the original agreement bringing the partnership to its fifth year. Um it supports district goal 4 by maintaining transparent predictable financial commitments and it's for discussion only um to be approved at the following meeting. >> Any questions, comments at this point? Okay. >> So, we'll bring this back with for an action item at the next board meeting. >> Sure. Okay. >> Okay. Uh, next up is a discussion of the uh world architect fee proposals for the 2027 media center renovations. Mr. >> It is me. Well, >> the administration is presenting a fee proposal from World Architects to lead the modernization of media centers Avon Center School, Woodview School, and Graves Lake Middle School. Uh the renovations are funded by the series
0272025 debt certificates and align with the district's long range facility plan. Um while the district previously declined furniture design services for the the first projects, the administration now recommends this fee. Um given Walt's previous spot, the district believes having the architects lead the furniture selection ensures better design cohesion and project leadership. Uh Weld has developed a plan to modernize these spaces with minimal disruption to school operations starting immediately upon authorization. >> Mr. Wildman, could you just walk us through the design process again? At what point do stakeholders jump into that and jump out? How does that work? If you don't mind, please. >> Sure. Um, specifically for this project, we are already using uh kind of working with the four previously designed uh media centers. So the next three are going to be using a
028lot of the kit of parts and a lot of the biomes which have kind of been developed with those first four uh media centers. So we do have a bit of a head start in terms of the work um which is really good because it will be uh done in a way which is more efficient this year. I'm Yeah, I'm gonna actually ask um maybe Amanda Pelster can give just a brief overview of what that process was because right now, right, we're kind of in the middle. We've done all this work to get to the four that'll be done this summer and then you're asking about the next four or next three. It'll be helpful. How do Yeah. Can you >> Yeah. So, we had a core planning group um that took place last fall
029um and that kind of set the direction for all of the media center work that was going to be happening. They uh that group came together um they did some tours and they really established some like guiding principles for um the design of all of the spaces. Um then there is user group meetings that are happening at each of the buildings as construction is happening. So, it's already happened at those four buildings. Um, and will happen this spring. Um, that includes um the info specialist, the STEM teacher, if it's a 58 building, um the principal, and then some teachers because really the the idea is to get everyone who's going to be using the space to have some input on how it will be used. Um from there once that is established then there's a
030design committee which includes some district office staff the principal and the info specialist to really um hone in on um what the space what will go into the space and that kind of thing. Um as um Mr. Wildman shared there are some um there are some things that have been established through this round. So um some key pieces of furniture that will in old places and things like that. So that's the design process, right? We're we're not starting from scratch and we learned actually a lot through this process um with old and I think we're going to do even better this time. So Yeah. So, um, one one thing that we're doing um in this redesign, we decided we looked at the current furniture that we had and um established that for the most part
031our um shelving could be reused. It was in really good condition. So, obviously that's keeping waste and we're continuing to use um really great shelving that we already have. um that is the exception I think is meadow view. There was some really tall um shelves that couldn't be reused for line of sight issues but um I think that's one thing that we have done in this redesign to really try and be thoughtful. >> Thank you. >> Other comments or questions? >> Okay. Uh, next on the list of new business items is the Graz Lake Middle School lighting retrofit project. I think that's back over Mr. W again. >> Yeah, this is uh for replacement of >> all um our interior lighting, these 2x4 lights like this, they will be retrofitted with new LED um sensor
032ready um lights. Uh it will be installed by our onm team. They're very easy to put in. So, we'll have savings at that part. Um, so that's just the beginning of our uh journey with making everything more efficient and just uh uh making it better for our community um in a sense, but a very important project and uh this is just the start. >> Any questions or comments? Go ahead. So this GMS was proof of concept that this would save us money. Can you tell us more about what's available for the rest of the district? >> As far as uh lighting is concerned, we have parking lot lights uh which are which are also going to be replaced. Uh they currently have old uh LED uh screwin bulbs which are not as bright. So on
033the safety uh part of um things it's not very adequate lighting. Um, so we're upgrading the lighting and we still get a rebate money from KMED just to facilitate that. Um, so all the schools are going to get that starting maybe April as soon as the uh materials come in. They will also have um sensor ready daylight uh for dust till dawn. Uh we do have our train uh uh BAS system working the lights but um that's another aspect that we have. We've done a few of the gyms also already. So um that's where we're at. So there's more to grow on >> and do you know what the cost savings will be for us? >> I know for GMS over five years it would be 528,000 in savings. Um return on investment is 1.4.
034for as far as our investment into it. So it made sense. >> Okay. Thank you. And finally, under new business, we have a strategic planning facilitator discussion. I'll let Dr. Glickman kick that off for us. >> Thank you, Dr. Mack. So board, as you know, you will be headed into strategic planning in the fall, and it's time to start thinking about who will be facilitating that process. At the April 8th board meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet likely three or four um facilitators who will come before the board and present their process to you. I have, excuse me, um, sent out requests for proposals um, and have received seven proposals from, uh, planners. And so, we need to have a way to get from those seven to identifying who's coming before the board
035so that you can make a final selection. So, my intent tonight is just to facilitate a short conversation. Well, it could be a long conversation, but there is cake. So, I'm guessing a short conversation about about the end result. And so I have two questions that I want for you to to ask you. And this is actually a conversation for the board and for our cabinet members who will be in one way or another involved in the strategic planning process and without question involved in the results of that process, right? Because it becomes um our administrators who are guiding the work with our staff as we make um the goals that come out of strategic planning a reality. So, um, I have two questions. I'm going to name them for you and then we'll kind
036of back it up. So, what I The first question is, what do you think is important in the final product? And the second question is, what do you think is important in the process? I want to go to the final product question first. And I want to be clear that I'm not asking what do you think the goal should be because that's the process, right? That comes out of the process. So, that's not the question I'm asking. I think I'd like you to think about an adjective. Think about we need a strategic plan that is dot dot dot. That's what I'm asking you. So, um I'm not intending to go around the circle uh go around the horn to um have people answer. Just this can be just kind of an open conversation. Um if
037you need to put a bunch of words together before you get to your adjective, that's perfectly fine. But that's the first question. What do you think is important in the final product? We need a strategic plan. That is who can who can uh jump off. >> Who's brave going first? >> Mr. I actually have two for you. >> Comprehensive and robust. >> Robust was the one I was. >> And we've got we got Sue taking fabulous notes, by the way. Comprehensive and robust. Yes. So, mine was also flexible. I also had flexible, but I had um visionary and flexible driven by real-time need. >> Similar to what you were thinking. >> Nice sentence, Amy. Um, I would go with broad and bendable alliteration. >> I would add actionable so that it's flexible, but it's also
038easy for us to take action. >> I would add um reflective. I wasn't expecting an adjective, so I'm making that up. Um but something that includes review and revision cycles so that we're monitoring along the way and that's adaptable and then um inclusive of the of board goals specifically around collaboration and also the sustainability targets that we I know you don't want goals but I just am bring the all of us back to speed. It's been a while since we've done that but would include those targets. I would like a strategic plan that is an advocate. So, it not only uh sets the direction of where we think we want to be going, but allows us to advocate on behalf of all the stakeholders that are part of our community. That's our students, our families,
039our teachers, our staff, us, future students, future families, future t all of that. something that allows us to actually use the strategic plan as a um as a voice. >> That was more than one adjective. So >> that's okay. >> You got words at the concept. Anybody else >> go yet? But I will add on top of everybody's wonderful adjectives. uh it's broadly accepted and I'm thinking more in ti in terms of the second question that it's just harmoniously achieved so that it's meeting the needs of all of the groups that it needs to meet and I am also very new to this so I hope that makes sense anybody else on this one okay and then the next question what do you think is important in in the process. Use whatever um part of
040speech you want to to answer this question. I think uh honest stakeholder uh collaboration is probably the biggest thing having you know honest conversations with all the stakeholders so that they all get their voice heard. Can I add to that one too because I also was thinking about a collaborative um vision driven process with all stakeholders but with all stakeholders in the same room so that people can actually hear each other. I wanted to include behavioral indicators of value values like volunteer surges, donation patterns, sustained community partnerships as well as the lived experience of a again a broad spectrum of of stakeholders. So, not just f focus groups and interviews, but actually someone that would be in the community figuring out looking at trends beyond what people are saying because I think sometimes two things.
041One, we um privilege people who have a lot of words and also just taking a look at some of the behavioral indicators sometimes I think are more reflective of what the community cares about than what we talk about. >> I I want to stay with you for a second. >> Yeah. Um, I want to make sure that we understand a little bit more about what you mean and what you think that looks like. So, it could So, there's some research methods called community ethnography and those are qualitative research methods. It's using the lived experience of people again looking at volunteer trends and looking at donation trends and looking at um more behavioral indicators. There's two um organizations in the city. One is called the ABCD Institute from Depal University, and the other is called Edutream,
042which is a Latino womanowned company, and they do that kind of research. So, they might give you more detailed information than I can give you, but it's that kind of beyond just or not just, but beyond interviews and focus groups. I uh would like with all of that of course I'd like an end pro. So strategic plans often are, you know, those those things that come out of the people who are who are involved in the in the planning process, right? And then it doesn't then it's used by those people on a regular basis, right? It doesn't often get seen beyond those places. So I'd like an end product or something that allows us to tell the story of the district in a broader way because we know the story of the district is absent
043in other parts of the community. And I'd like something that allows us to tell that story beyond what a strategic plan generally lets us do. I mean, I know we have board meetings, but we don't always have a lot of people. And I don't know, there are three people watching currently on YouTube. We're not going viral at this point, right? Four. It just went up. Uh, you know, but something something to take away that when we as board members or community members or stu whomever can use it to tell the story of the district where the district is not often part of that story. That's what I would like to see. >> Anything else on process? >> I would just suggest that we um consider making sure that there's this lens that we continue to
044go back to to make sure that we are aligning with our district community values and staying focused on our mission, our priorities, um with student learning and advancing that so that we're not going too far right or left. So that process has opportunities to make sure that we're checking that along the way. Anybody else? I'm just going to add that it's available for our Spanish speaking and other language speak multilingual opportunities to make sure they can participate too. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, what I will do is um take what you've shared tonight and um search for some themes and share those back with you along with the things that maybe were outliers but were also you know shared this evening and then I will be sharing with you um the
