001Uh if there are there is no commentary we can move on to next item please. >> We're going back to the special reports. >> Yes. >> Okay. Special report policy update policy number 5460 graduation requirements by Mr. David Mustinet. >> Good evening. Um so last month at the policy committee committee meeting Adam Martin brought this policy forward to the policy committee and uh at the board meeting the comm policy committee reported out this was some technical changes to this policy regarding uh wording that needed to be put into the policy uh regarding legislation uh about FASA and about our students uh completing the FASA form. um we receive grant funding uh that will actually benefit the district uh by having students fulfill this commitment and the policy outlines the options that students have. So there
002are options in there that they don't if they don't don't want to fill that out, they don't need to, but they need to be made aware um that that form is there for them. Mhm. >> So the uh the typical procedure is uh for the uh board to have a discussion and then vote. We're doing this all in one meeting tonight because in order for us to receive that grant funding, this policy needs to be in place before the next uh August 15th and that's would obviously u it would needs to be in place I'm sorry before your next board meeting. So that's why it's being done uh all in one place here tonight. >> So if I understand this, we have discussed this last meeting, correct? So this is just being also as an
003agenda item out at the last meeting. It was just reported out. >> It was just reported out. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Right. There was not a formal board discussion. That's why it's here in front of you now. If you wanted to have any formal discussion, >> which is not the first time we've done this, so just FYI. >> Correct. just say this is kind of against our policy of putting something for discussion and then the next meeting we vote on it. >> That that is correct. >> Yeah, >> that is correct. >> But it is not something that you that this board has not done before when there was a time >> require sensitive. >> Okay. We've done it with state law before where sometimes we're on their agenda and we have compliance has
004been done not not normally infrequently but it has happened to comply. >> Okay. Any questions okay I believe we're already doing a great job of asking students to do to file a FAFSA. So yeah this is a state requirement that just uh came through. Sure. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> This policy was also shared uh with everybody in board groups as well. So, everyone has had time to review it and look at it once clear as well. >> Yeah. And normally we tried to avoid it. We keep with that three-month process, but in sometimes if it's going to benefit our students, we have to look at it and, you know, it's going to help with funding for them. So, >> okay. >> Thank you. Uh, next item. Next item is the least restrictive environment visit
005recap by Mr. Micelia. >> Okay. Uh good evening, President Mosep. Uh Dr. Maliko, trustees. >> He doesn't care. Dr. M left doesn't care. >> Yeah, I noticed that. I didn't know where the camera was. Maybe at home they didn't know that he stepped out for a second. Uh anyhow, um you know, today really all I would like to do is just kind of give a recap of a least restrictive environment visit that we recently had uh back in January actually. Um and kind of what has happened since then. Um before I kind of get into it, what is least restrictive environment? Uh so obviously as executive director of special populations, one of my primary roles as a special education director, uh least restrictive environment is really what drives a lot of IDA or the individual
006disabilities education act, the federal regulations for special education. It's to educate non disabled peers with their non-disabled peers to the greatest maximum extent possible. Um there has been a huge push over the last three to four years from the federal office of special education trickling down to the state off office of special education to our county Wayne Resa and to the locals on least restrictive environment. How do we how do we encourage inclusion and ensure that special education students are with the general education students as much as possible? Um so as a result the Michigan Department of Education specifically the office of special education uh in 2023 24 started to announce that in the school year of 2425 they were actually going to do site visits to local districts uh to see the work they're
007doing in this specific area. Uh specifically they wanted to see hey you know what's going well or how can we help and support to improve. Um so I'll kind of go through the journey real quickly. Um, I'll tell you, last summer was was very interesting for us in special education. We were attending a lot of different meetings at the county level. They were talking about how the state department was going to come in. Uh, they were going to visit some locals. And I'll tell you this, we had no clue who was going to be selected. We didn't even know if Wayne County Resa was going to be selected. Uh, we call it an audit. It really necessarily wasn't an audit. It was more of a site visit uh where they just wanted to kind of
008know and understand some of the practices that we were uh withholding. uh by the end of 2024 and December of 2024 uh we found out not only Wayne County Resa was selected for this. I believe that they actually volunteered for it which is a great thing. Uh but through their process they selected Dearborn Public Schools to be one of the locals that the state would actually visit. Um which two schools did they select? Well, actually they selected them, not us. They selected Fortson High School and Whitmore BS Elementary. Uh it included um three members from the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Special Education along with Wayne County Resa folks. Um from our perspective, from our side, who we really had was we had some special education administrators there. Obviously, I was there, a couple
009of the special education coordinators were there, the building principal was there, general education staff was there, uh central office, general education curriculum leaders were there. Uh so they really wanted to get a whole entire scope of what goes on in Dearbornne public schools. And it was very positive dialogue, very positive conversations at both Fortson High School and Whitmore Bulls Elementary. The feedback, uh, well, you know what, I forgot my coin. They gave us all an LRE coin, which is kind of like, hey, a point of pride. Great job. Uh, we appreciate the visit. Appreciate everything that you're doing. Um, what did they like? What was the feedback? Uh, they really loved our full implementation of our co-eing model. That's when you have two teachers in a classroom. uh typically one general education teacher, one special
010education teacher. Uh they really really were impressed with the strong MTSS process that we have here in the district. I know Miss Fut spoke about it a little bit earlier. Um obviously, you know, with anything that we do with any initiative, there's always room for improvements, rooms in how we can get better um and how we can improve. But this is just some feedback from the Michigan Department of Education. um obviously inclusion of students with significant disabilities and that's really uh one of the points of pride we have here in Dearbornne uh from the specific models that we have to the outstanding staff we have to where everybody feels included everyone feels involved no matter what the situation was. Um, finally, a great thing, uh, after the visit, and mind you, they visited many, many
011different districts throughout the state, they actually asked us, Dearborn Public Schools, to go and present at the state board, uh, meeting back in April. Uh, the presentation was done by myself and one of our students within the program as well. And that was very, very powerful. Um, and we just kind of shared our story and our journey. and that kind of led to this obviously the state board president visiting the district and visiting some of our programs as well. Um so what are some things we're doing here within Dearborn public schools specifically within the special education department? Um so not many people are aware but special education departments actually get graded annually through an indicator report. Um and it starts out obviously you know the the federal office of special ed will rate the states
012and it'll go down to the county level to local school districts. Uh part of that indicator report is we actually get a matrix annually and it it it has two two major components. It has the compliance component within special education but also a results component. I can tell you for four years consecutively uh we've outscored not only the county but the state where we get a meets requirement score which is a great point of pride for our amazing staff that work hard each and every single day. Um and really it's been that way for four consecutive years right now. The other scores you can get I believe are needs assistance and needs intervention. Uh if you're in that needs intervention phase um it's not very very nice. Uh there's a lot of different corrective action
013and things along those lines that you would have to have to do. Um another point of pride that we had was in 2023 for the first time ever, and I say the first time ever because I tried to look back all the way to the '9s, uh based on some of our data, we actually met the requirement for special education students graduating with a high school diploma. Uh why is this such a huge accomplishment? Because what some people don't understand is within special education, there's usually two routes. Uh you can either be working on a high school diploma uh just like you know general education students or everybody else or sometimes if you have intellectual disabilities and the disability is significant enough uh you work on what we call a certificate of completion where we're
014really focusing on job and life skills. Now the students who are in certificate completion actually count against your graduation rate. So basically what they do is they take all special education students and they give you a rate based on that if they graduate with the high school diploma. Uh so again that was a test to the great practices that we have within the district and of course the amazing people. We're still a people business at the end of the day. Um you know we spoke a little bit about the co-eing model. It's actually been you know ever since the LRE visit I'll tell you that we've had actually a few districts reach out to us and ask a little bit about the co-eing model. Uh just last week there was a district up north that
015I had the pleasure to sit down and meet with and just speak to them a little bit about it. Um in addition to that uh we've been invited to two state conferences to present on our models. Um I know in a couple weeks Dr. Malo and I will be co-presenting at MACE which is the Michigan Administrators for uh special education administrators conference uh which is great. We're actually going to be co-presenting with the Michigan Department of Educa Michigan Department of Education. In addition to that, uh we're also going to be presenting in November in the Michigan school improvement continuous improvement conference as well. Uh they asked us to come out as well. Um what makes us kind of unique and special? We really focus on specially designed instruction which is really the heart of special
016education. How can we make your instruction so unique that it meets your needs individually as a specific learner? uh about seven, eight years ago when I first started within this position, we created what we called the specially designed instruction manual. And I'll tell you that manual we've shared numerous times, most recently with the Michigan Department of Education, who I know is trying to kind of create their own type of SDI type workbook. Uh so, a lot of great things happening uh within within our department right now. Um, also, you know, kudos. I do want to just talk a little bit about we do have a co-eing coach team. Uh, we call them partial coaches because they're still in the classroom most of the day, but they're a special education teacher, Miss Susan Rocky, and a
017general education teacher, Miss Andrew Patricia, who work closely together. Um and actually we we we allow them some additional prep hours and they help other co-eing pairs and they also present locally for us uh with whenever we have professional development on co- teaching. Um obviously you know all all of these great accolades uh sometimes you know what is the result and I'll tell you this I know a lot of you have always heard the the adage it takes a village uh no more truer than for special education. Uh it really truly truly takes everybody working together and developing a plan that's going to best be fitted uh for for the specific student whether it's our amazing staff and you know that they're the first ones I give credit to. Uh you know we have amazing
018administrators many amazing coordinators. One was just up here Miss Dean Assad. Uh great pair of professionals great teachers great social workers great speech pathologists all working together to ensure students needs are met. Uh you guys kudos to all of you. You guys have invested in special education over the the years. You know, I often tell the story how in 2016 when I first started as a coordinator, I think we had about 28 social workers for 36 37 buildings in the district or however many buildings that we had. Uh we're up to north to 60 north of 60 social workers now. Um and you're seeing the results there as well. You're seeing students who are improving. Um, and that's because you guys all had faith um with not only within our department, but our kids to
019provide them exactly what they need so they can be successful. Uh, we have a ton of great community partners. Uh, one I want to highlight obviously our special education PTA. We're probably one of the few districts in the entire state that actually have a special education uh, PTA and they work very very closely and collaboratively. They always have great events going on for our kiddos. whether it's a Halloween pumpkin patch, whether it's pictures with Santa Claus and his elves, uh, or whether it's an autism walk, um, during autism awareness month. Uh, so we're very, very appreciative along with all these other wonderful organizations who really help and support us, um, in accomplishing our missions. Um, you know, we spoke a little bit about systems a little bit earlier, and that's exactly what we're trying to
020build, and we continue to try to refine those systems, make them better to help support all of our students. um what's to come? What are we working on? Um in close, we're going to continue to try to enhance our model. Uh we're going to continue to try to close those achievement gaps uh that we're seeing within special education compared to some neurotypical peers when it comes down to standardized testing and things along those lines. Um right now we're working collaboratively with instructional cabinet as well is where we're developing an MTSS but for behavior. um you know and within that how do all these great initiatives that we have where do they fall under the tiered level of instruction um hopefully continue to to to develop systems meaningful professional development and continue to extend expand our
021partnerships within our community. Uh some of you may or may not know some of our kids from the age of 18 to 26 uh we actually partner with some great local businesses within our community where they go in there and they help support the businesses and in turn kids are are learning some valuable valuable uh both life and job skill. Um you know just down the street we have a uh program over at Crowwell Hospital Project Search. Uh two years ago was another point of pride, great celebration where one of our first interns or students actually got a full-time job at Crowall Hospital after the program. And these are exactly the things that we're going to continue to hopefully build on uh to ensure that all of our students were maximizing potential and that uh
022we're getting great results. Um with that said, um another disclaimer, um I know we're not perfect. Far from it. We're going to continue to work though to improve hopefully uh to ensure that we continue to meet everybody's needs uh whoever comes across in our district. >> Thank you Mr. Any questions? I had a question on your first slide. You were mentioning the >> for the first time that we met um >> the graduation the comp the Yeah. >> So what was the rate if you >> um you know I don't remember it was it was about in the mid70s um something along those lines. I can get you that specific number. It used to be just at 80%. They used to just say okay the graduation rates got to be 80% in order for you
023to meet that indicator. Now they're changing it a little bit. I believe they're using a different type of formula where they're going more based on norms and averages. >> And that's the high school diploma now. >> That's a high school diploma. Yeah. >> Certificate of completion. Okay. >> Yeah. So, if you get a certificate of completion, it actually counts against that percentage. >> Um, >> you know, I I I speak to a lot of um parents of of special ed kids and so um and and they come to speak to me about their concerns. I know we have a lot of challenges. Um, I want to thank you for doing the job. It's, you know, we don't rank jobs in the district, but it's it's one of the most challenging things to deal with every
024day in the district. And I just want to urge you and the whole community to please be involved in these initiatives because the my favorite Palestinian of all time said, "That which you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me." And so, we have to make sure that we're always taking care of everybody and especially um those who sometimes might fall under the radar. And so uh I just want to thank you and I just want to you know for whoever's watching is we all need to be part of this branch of our educational duties. So uh thank you. >> Okay. Thank you so much. Very kind words. Appreciate it. >> Okay. >> Last Friday I heard you on the radio. >> Oh yeah. It was it was it was a great
025experience >> with with host Trusty Barry. So that was great. >> You did an amazing job. >> Yeah. You did. Thank you, Mike. >> Thank you guys. >> Next item, please. Uh the next item is action items old business. Uh I'll be looking motion to take from the table old business. So I'm looking for a motion to take from the table the motion related to the board request to review evaluations and a personnel file. >> So moved. >> Now I want to put it out there that uh >> you have to have a support before you >> support support.

Yeah. >> So right now we're just taking it from the table. >> Sure. Sure. We're under discussion. I'm just putting my thoughts out there. So, >> okay. >> Not doing anything right now. I just want my thoughts out there. >> But this motion would bring those two items on the agenda, >> right? >> And then we can exclude them if we need when we would have the discussion. >> All right.

Uh, any discussion? Trusted public. >> Yeah, I I'd still like to bring this for discussion, but it won't be exactly the same discussion I was going to have before. I just want to make sure I uh talked to Brad Bonassic, our legal adviser from MASB when this originally came before us, and he was concerned that um board members continue to ask to review personnel file and suggested that we make sure that we have a reason given publicly that doesn't identify who the individual is, but that if We are going to vote as a board for allowing a
041board member alone who has requested this that we should understand why this request is being made because it gives the perception to the community that um of potential um I'm not going to say inappropriateness or impropriety but we are not experts in HR And we are not legal experts. And generally these kinds of um requests would be made through either the superintendent's office if you somebody felt that there was something a miss, the staff member themselves who could always come before the board with their personnel file for us uh if there was an issue or a concern or we would have it investigated by either HR or an outside legal entity. So, I just wanted to ask the reason that um because this is not the first time this kind of request has been made.
042I I was a little more concerned with the first one that's been postponed because it's a multiple uh number of former and current employees. Um, is is there a problem or a concern that the board should be aware of that you are undertaking a an investigation of by looking into a staff member's um file? >> I'm not undertaking any investigations. I just want to be able given the opportunity to review the file and the opportunity my colleagues if they choose to review the file. >> Okay. because I was told by Brad that at any time the employee could just request to look at the file and bring whoever he wanted to into the room, he or she um to review the file with them. Is is that not an option you wanted to consider or
043that the employee didn't want to consider? Mary, you know, this is a very sensitive situation and I'm not going to fall into traps. Uh, Mr. President, there's a question on the table. I call the question. >> Okay. Um, I Let's have a a roll call then. Uh, this is just to review the personnel file of >> to have the option to. That's all. Yeah. If you want to, you don't have to. >> Roll call, please. >> Trusty Elmy. >> Yes. >> Trustee Debrosio. >> Yes. Trusty Zaher. Yes. Trusty Barry, >> yes. >> Trusty Pelichoff, >> no. >> Trusty Mos, >> yes, thank you. Motion carried. Uh, next item, please. >> Now, do I read the summary? Okay. All right. Uh, summary of the agenda action items. I'll read all of them except 13, 20, and
04421, right? >> Darn it. Maybe not. >> Read them all. Okay. Great. Number one, approval of an award to Hype. Two, and three, approval of change orders.
