001God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Part of the read the mission statement of the public school district partnership with communities. The mission of the D school district is to educate individuals in an environment of trust and respect so they become self-directed responsible like one person. We'll probably have to remove um we have Shannon and um Marcus. We have a full house. All right. Have any visitors? Okay. So, we go on to public comments and re recognition. We don't have any public comments, but we'll go with rebel recognition. the agenda. >> Thank you. Before we do that, we'll adopt the agenda. I appreciate that. Um, we have a change to the agenda. I think I think we're talking about on 9.3 >> unless that's the first of two. >> It's the first of
002two readings. So, we can talk about that. So, I mean, >> I guess that'll be a policy committee group meeting. if you want to table. Yeah. Um I think so bear with me. Everything was up to date on this agenda. Yeah. Very good. Do I have a motion? >> Motion by have a second. >> Second by. Any questions or discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say I. >> I. Motion carries. Now on to public comments and rebel recommendation. just recogn Well, last Friday uh we recognized teacher of the year over here uh training. So, we had a little uh I guess a gathering or a student assembly in the afternoon and we honored her and her family was able to join us and then we also did um the support staff person here and
003that was Miriam, our custodian here and so her daughter and some family they were able to attend as well. So it was just a really neat maybe it's been posted on Facebook and now there um so congratulations to those two very welld deserved and uh just yeah it it was really nice. So say that any other rebel record I just had one uh honor jazz band was this Saturday and um we had at least one student there and I think Mr. Argo also played with the jazz band kids. That was really good. And shout out to Mr. Argo and those kids playing in the honor J. Anything else? All right, we'll go on to number six reports and we'll start with Marcus with the business manager. Thanks for having me again. Um, first let's go
004through the summary sheet. So, as far as how March went, um, pretty business as usual. Payroll was standard. Uh, nothing unusual there. And then, um, board bills, we're kind of averaging about that 200,000. You'll see that on this current around that area. So um nothing really significant that's coming with those um you will see that the revenue there was a significant surplus um that just has to do with the state aid uh they gave us you know full state aid checks payments this time on the 15th and 30th. So um it kind of gets you caught up after a couple times where there's lower payments or county payments. Um, so this just kind of get us back on track. Uh, so we'll probably see these for for the next couple months. And most of this
005was general fund rather than like any other funds. And then we also did draw down 100 some thousand title funds. So the reason and that goes from the beginning of the year July 1st through basically February. Um, the reason I usually wait till now to do my first big draw on title is because I want to make sure everything's in line with, you know, that we've got everything approved by the state, that our budgets on track, and that we're not, uh, we're spending on the right things. So, um, usually I do one big draw from March or April, and then I do the monthly draws until >> Um, >> can I ask a question? Yeah, >> an item. I should have asked this a while ago, but can you give me an example of what
006falls under the P card and credit card transactions? Like what is that 13? >> Um, so a lot of the time that can be uh staff development. So if they're going to a conference, there's going to be hotels, there's going to be uh state participation. anytime coaches when we go to state uh boss hotels uh the food and um and it can be sometimes where we're up uh giving subscriptions to something they just don't take invoices and the only form of payment they take is credit card fees. So most people are admin or directors and then uh somebody who's either an adviser or a coach. That's pretty much what are so they still go and get approved with POS and everything. They go through the same process and then they just submit that. >> Does
007everybody have their own two cards? >> No, it would be everybody have their own uh coaches. We don't really have and not every teacher. There's quite a few out there. >> And yeah, state tournament stuff. I'll just say uh just for David and I when we just went down just for a hotel that was so >> there's a few things like that. >> Sure. >> Yeah. >> And then credit card is we have an Amazon credit card. So we do a lot of Amazon purchasing. So that's so P cards are you'll see usually on the first board meeting and then the second one um like about the fifth or sixth when card is paid the credit cards about so this one and then because we had a nice surplus this month um our cash balance
008is um then we can go on to that budget versus actual. Um I think the main thing to look at here is first of all our the the 12 month percentages you know it shows around March you're at 67% that's kind of an average. It's not always the best thing to look at but it does give you a good idea of where we could be or should be during the year. Um but I think the best thing to compare it to is last year. You can see that as far as expenditures, we only spent 157,000 more to the same point as last year and that's with the budget that's 600 plus thousand more than last year or about 600,000 more than last year. So it it tells you that we're on the right track with
009our spending and being as conservative as we can. Um but then also like you look at the percentages, last year was 66.6 and this year it's 65.6. So, I mean, we're definitely trending better than last year. And that has a lot to do with some cuts prior to this year, but just kind of finding efficiencies. >> And uh is there any questions on this actual >> and then finally just the construction budget? uh this will show differently probably in the next month or two um with how the uh and Shannon will talk a little more on that but right now um it's just kind of showing on the bottom two line it shows where we were as of June 30th as far as how much the general fun compared to now you know it's only
010$24,000 in spending so far this year pretty much all the bills. Um, but this will change significantly for the better coming up in the next couple months as we work through the plan. Any questions on that? >> Can I go back to the comparison? >> Yeah. >> Staff development is substantially lower compared to last year. >> Yeah. Um, so staff development, uh, we have staff development days during the year. So we have few at the beginning of the year in August, we have a couple in the middle of the year, I think in March. Um, and then we have one at the end of the year. So, I do a draw or I do a a journal entry to move those days from general funds to staff development, but I wait till the end of
011the year because I don't really want to use up all the funds before then. I want the teachers and the staff and the principles to have that time to use it for what they may need it for during the year because stuff can come up that teachers need to go. And so, we want to kind of leave that open. So most of it will be it'll be used up by the end of the year through those different uh journal entries but during the year it kind of depends. So last year there must there may have just been more space. >> There was more redex train still last year. Um but not not like the year before and that's where the bulk of it was but we still had some last year. So some of that
012linger. >> So that definitely trends to the lower side and then at the end of year I see where it's all at. what we need to use it for. Um, >> so it's not that we're saying no to staff development, it's just that it just hasn't occurred at the same pace >> as I don't really know a lot of times where anybody said no to something. >> Yeah, those dollars too, just so everybody knows, that's that's dollars that are set aside for that. So we can't use it to buy stuff or whatever. That has to go. Y >> if it's not used by the end of the year, is it rolled over to next year then? >> Yes, you can carry over. Um it's a restricted fund. So it helps our so it's something we
013like to use during the year because it does move those costs from the general unassigning fund balance to the district. So, it's something we uh >> strive to try to balance out. >> We don't want to not use it. >> Yeah. We want to make sure if it's staff development that for sure that it's marked with staff development. >> Yeah. And so >> I kind of project out how many days we have every year what the cost is per teacher at the end year based on how much. So we bring in a big speaker than that because that would go against that budgetary >> any other questions for you. >> All right 6.2 food service director. >> Good evening everybody. Um I get a couple of sheets there and um start online. Uh staffing we
014currently have one lunchroom helper open. It's really helped um taking them fulltime positions and dividing them out into three-hour positions. Um that has kept us sat for the year and one of them three-hour positions have been pretty universal on if we're short here, they're shifting over there. So we've done very well with that this year. The other thing we've done is I hired them on as subs for the first 90 days to make sure this is something that they want to do and um stay on and that that has worked out very well. We have a couple that have gotten past the 90 days and they still want to maintain sub. Um they don't want to go over to a contract because they want the flexibility of not having to commit to having to work
015that three hours five days a week. So, we have that uh next year I anticipate. Um well, Karen's retirement is coming in January of 2027. So, I'm going to start working through that. And we are shifting um the breakfast at the Dorite part back into the tigers so we can do hot breakfast again at this site. So, we will need to hire a part breakfast. So we will be adding that on next year. Our freedom reduced um we currently are at 29.72%. Uh last fall we were at 28.77. So we've increased a little bit there. Summerching is just around the corner. Kind of crazy to think. Um we have been the do site has been approved through April 30th of 31 to continue um operating the summer feeding program. I still have not been um
016successful to get the Glendon site approved because we fall under that 50% reduced within uh a certain radius of the school. So uh last time we were sitting at just over 49%. So until we can get that at 50% I can't get that site approved through that the dates we're going to start May 28th so next the very next day and we will go through August 28 so we'll be operating that all summer >> and um when kids come over to the door site for >> absolutely any kid can come um 18 and under can come in and eat with us. So, uh, part of the school, it was a very competitive, uh, process this year for the the grants. I think they had over 160 schools applying for it and we were awarded a
017$30,000 grant for the next year for our farm to school efforts. >> Yes. What what grants have we received in the past for that? Is that comparable equal to what we had not a grand pass? >> They No, we we've done several knots through that. Um our highest one I think was 73,000 the first year and then we've got um I think it was 30,000 and then because we utilized our dollars um some districts didn't. So that money goes back into the pot and then you can apply and because we had utilized the dollars we received additional uh money on top of that and that happened this last year too. There was um again district and money went back in and I applied and we got an additional $1,500 on top of that. So I
018want to say all in all I have to quote but we've probably been awarded um I would say 150 160,000 towards the school in the last three years. So, thank you. >> You're welcome. I I very much enjoy it. I like >> grants are not fun necessarily to try to go through that entire process. >> Well, and and what helps with us is we we are not very much just a protein or just a vegetable. Um I try to to go across the board, you know. Um this year we brought in even though salmon was not locally grown here in Minnesota, um it is a local fisherman. sell up in in the booth. We do pretty much any different fruits or vegetables that I can get a hold of. So, uh there is a a
019gal rural roots out of felton that we got cucumber melons and that was the big thing I got a lot of comments about this year from MDBs. They they wanted to know how that went over. So, it's kind of neat introducing that different stuff and the state um and the uh they're doing a rural farmtoschool training cooperative um throughout the state and they have asked me to work with these grades um to kind of mentor her. They're starting their farm to school so I'm going to do that and kind of help them get off the ground and get the program going there. So, I'm really excited. I'm I'm a huge advocate for supporting local and supporting kids. So, events um we have got we've got some fun things happening. Um NBE has put together a
020kind of a cookbook for global recipes and um they put out uh will you help us and I said absolutely we'd love to. So starting um through the end of the school year, we will be test piloting the global recipes in the kitchen. So we will be providing feedback on the recipes, the processes, um just everything from start to finish. This is practical for schools. Um how is it uh for staff to process that and then we'll be doing just testing out the comments. it won't be on the menu um but we will be making it and then the staff will be going out and giving samples and just getting some different feedback with that. So um we're excited to do that and then we have been asked to host and participate. I provided the
021email for some more information. We are doing a bean cook off. There is going to be six um six competitors and we are one of them. So, we are currently working through some different bean recipes um to showcase, but on April 23rd, 6 p.m. at the Glenn Lunch Room, we are going to have a showdown. So, we plan on having the media out there. And uh last I heard, one of the judges is a um Louisiana barbecue judge. So, we'll see how this goes. I'm excited. schools are the ones um competing, right? Different schools >> um in there. Yeah. Her goal was to get uh six different schools and I don't know, but she was she thought that if she couldn't get six, then she would open it up to um colleges and maybe the
022hospitals. So, there'll be six there six to go. And so, again, uh last I heard there would be a traveling trophy of a giant school of four. So, uh, we're pretty excited to to participate in that and see what we can showcase the beans. >> We're at the Ding Thomas farm, >> right? Um, and they farm kind of in Gilbert and London, so we have some farmland. >> That's what I was thinking. It was really close to here. >> Yeah. And Marina is pretty passionate about farm to school and and getting beans out there and one of the recipes. Um, we're working on a dessert. So, >> well, that plays out. I'm being dessert. So, >> not even flour that becomes potatoes. >> Pizza crust pizza. Oh, for well M, you come and you test
023it. It's been over. >> Yeah. Um, and then the just the special meals. We did the Thanksgiving meal this year. December 9th, we did showcase the Sakai salmon. Um, and then we did the Christmas dinner. So, this year, >> any questions for me? >> Thank you. >> You guys have a good night. You, too. All right, we'll move on to 6.3. >> How do I follow the conversation? >> Okay, I gave you all a handout. Um, the first thing I want to talk about is the curriculum cycle. So, that is the the next page. Um, this year we are fully um aligned with our science curriculum. So our first subject area that we are fully aligned elementary, middle school, high school. Then in the next couple years we are going to or the next year
024at least we're going to pause our curriculum um which was actually a great spot in the curriculum cycle because they are um not as expensive things. So it would be quiet and music that we need to pause in elementary which it worked out this year because we did a fundraiser and we got updated gym equipment. And then music we're just renewing their $110 subscription. So they were okay with that. And then middle school, high school. I'm looking in the red. This would be the first year that we start doing community work. That's what we have to pause. So it would be the curriculum which right now we're using a free curriculum called people. So we're just contin business media and play and next year music after art. So they are just going to continue using
025what they have been using. >> Is that what means cross not we're not doing anything? >> Yeah because there is no Spanish anymore. >> Oh wrong. >> Yeah. Perfect. >> Yeah. So that's that language. >> Yep. And then in 2829, you can see that will be the first year we have math. We start the curriculum work for math. So just that's probably a $300,000 purchase. Hopefully by then we can purchase it. Um moving on to new curriculum this year. Like I said, that science curriculum teachers are using that. It is higher level curriculum. So there have been some challenges with teachers and students not um they haven't had it in the past. So they they don't have that background knowledge there. So they're working through that. Um interventionist they have some new curriculum Uly ready
026set math and number sense they're using purchase that through our grant money dollars and title dollars. And then I've been working with Marcus just to look at all of our mobile class for next year and our Google. So I listed those there. Higerty, everyday speech, tech, MCIS for the career and college subscription we use. This is the first page I'm looking at. Uh mystery science is our elementary and fifth grade science curriculum. Bullseye is what we use for our teacher email system. our special ed workbooks and then math workbooks in elementary and then social science and literary workbooks at the center. So all of that stuff will be getting renewed at consumable cost. So that just means it's a workbook that we need to repurchase. That's new. Any questions on that? >> Sorry. >> Yes.
027>> Yep. So like for math expressions, we've had that for quite some time. We purchase those up front and like same with the social science and ELA, we purchase those up front, but Marcus has to make a journal entry every year. Is that what it is? >> Something like what? I'm done. Actually, no. I have an accounting too. So, okay. Um, fast scores. So, if you go to the next page, I think I showed you this when I presented the elementary. Um but just a refresher we will have I put on there this is like an overall comprehensive score the uh first grade through let's see just fourth graders they get pulled for specific subtests. So they'll get pulled for like decoding or fluency. This a score is like an overall score whereas they each
028get six subtests that drill down on the skills. So this doesn't show overall student growth. So just just keep that in mind. Um I I'm going to get some more data from Alison MTSS coordinator because she can see like the drill down scores. Um let's see. The next one is MCA testing. So that started this week. So I put last year's. The next page was last year's scores. And then the page after that is the Minnesota report card. So the scores that I put in the spreadsheet, these are all the preliminary scores. So once a student submits the test, I can see what score they received. Um, so the one that I printed from the Minnesota scorecard on the next page, the percentages are like two percentage points off just because MDE sits through all
029the scores and goes through all that. So the preliminary scores are a little off. Um, but once I get updated MCA scores this year, I will make sure to share those with you guys. Um, hopefully we will have made some progress. So, middle school started testing today. Elementary will start tomorrow. High school starts on Wednesday. So, we're starting reading next week will be and then week the 29th will be science. And not every test. >> Yep. It's third through 8th at 10. >> And then science is only in fifth, eighth, and 10th. >> Questions on that. >> And juniors only do reading. >> They only do math. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Only do math. >> Sophomores do reading and reading. So seeing these MCA scores on paper all do we have any idea how our
030school compares to like for Minnesota in general? >> Yeah. So if you look at this if you go to MD's Minnesota report card like I just filtered it to um MCA math grade three. >> I see. Okay. >> So then when you go on here you can compare it to the state average. >> Okay. >> Yep. If you've never been there, it it's once you get in, it's pretty simple, right? >> Um, and you can compare yourself to any other school. You can compare your grade levels, subject areas. It's pretty simple. It'll give you a graph, show your trends and where you're trending. >> You can see like the past five years on how we've done as a school. So, it is very interesting. >> Do we use this data to help us with interventions?
031And >> I wouldn't say MCA data so much more so our password data. >> Yeah, I suppose that was really early >> because this doesn't like the password data drills down the field more. So that's what we focus on the password. >> Yes. So that is >> well it's required by the state. So we'll start there and then it is kind of a snapshot. It's >> so when when we look at bridge data, does this specific information tell you like what what is it important? Why for you like for for um Alison? So the subtest that Allison's team gives. So, for example, let's say um kindergarten they're doing um number sequencing. They're they're testing on that. It'll show them this student cannot cannot put a series of numbers in a sequence. Whereas, this kid is
032flying above and beyond. So, the kid that's flying above and beyond will most likely stay in the classroom, get some sort of enrichment, whereas a student that can't get to number five is pulled out with other students that can't get to number five and they will focus on that skill. do grade level teachers need and look at this and be like, "Oh my gosh, our grade level is like way lower than or higher than >> Yeah. Well, I would say in the past um like last year like MCA scores teachers, they they beat themselves up over that." It's like it's one test, it's one day. Um let's focus more on the fast scores or how we can make progress. And then I'm going to get to this, but my next thing is um Allison Stewart.
033She's been an amazing addition and she helps with all those interventions and groupings and one thing she does is meet with classroom teachers every month and goes through all the data. I would say more so MCA but like um the data because her team gives assessments every other week, >> right? And that's how they >> that's so like all year. >> Yep. Right. >> So yeah, I just said she keeps our interventions moving along. She facilitates our teacher assistance team meetings. So this is our TAT team meetings. We meet every other um week to monitor kids. She facilitates Wendada meetings with our grade level teachers, supports interventionists. Do our teachers feel that our um our curriculums are supporting the areas that the students need? I mean because we when we looked at them last time
034I remember everybody being a little disappointed at the data you know reflecting that some of our students are quite low in and we don't have frankly enough interventionist to be able to support the needs of the student at our low so do we feel like the curriculums are aligning with what the students need and can support the teachers in providing that >> I would say yes I mean we're year three of CLA year four of math expressions. Um, definitely see gaps and that's why we meet. We have an ELA team uh committee meeting uh group that meets. So there's definitely gaps. I think in any curriculum that we've had there's gaps. So like integrity for example that's filling in some of those gaps. So we are meeting to talk about that for sure. But yeah,
035I feel like they like the curriculum we're using. >> Well, the one thing I think too And I guess, you know, just from my seat, I hope because we're all using the same curriculum as far as a reading and a math that there's consistency in kind of language throw. So, I'm hoping as we go through that. Now, it doesn't mean that the curriculum is perfect. I'm going to say that, but it has gaps or whatever, but if we can have that consistency going, I'm hoping by year two now we're in year three, year four. I mean, are we going to see that growth? I guess that's our hope because of that instead of oh Britney does this, Nicole does that, Shannon does this but there's some consistency for our kids. That's the idea is that
036we'll start to see a little fruit to that later and I don't know we have second grade teacher here that uh on year three of this and hopefully she feels that. I don't know. is considered that year three is when you start noticing because the second graders this year have now had our CKLA kindergarten, first grade and second grade. So we're hoping to see the benefits. They choose their curriculum and need three years to get it in place because of student knowledge and teacher knowledge. Thanks. >> So, next year things will be over. >> Well said. >> You'll just be saying it all in your sleep. >> And and and here's the toughest part and I'll just throw this out there because in 30 whatever four or five years of education and being in different
037roles, um you can have your best teachers in a certain grade level. Whatever. pick your favorite grade level and they might get a certain group of kids that you'll see that really struggle and there's a lot of interventions. considered a lot of this and uh what we have to always look at and what I like to look at in my seat is I look at the fast scores and I just want to see growth are we getting better are we showing improvement right I couldn't dribble before now I can now I can dribble left hand same with math skills reading skills same thing are we showing that the intervention is is having an impact because wherever you're at let's meet them where they're at and let's get them somewhere else right and I hope that's
038what we're seeing across the board because we are way more intentional uh with these kids that lack some skills whether it's math or reading. >> Yeah, that's a good point. Like the student demographics is a huge um factor because in second grade for example, we have 135 kids. Um a lot of them are receiving special ed supports too. Um and then in first grade we have about 85 kids and only I think 12 or 13 kids are receiving interventions right now because they are doing very well granted small class sizes and much smaller class but yeah definitely a difference when you go from Terry she's a special I think she can definitely tell in you know case loads too. So >> um let's see moving on to what I need time. So, we've talked about
039this before, too. We just that targeted instruction during our 25minute reading math block. We are going to continue that to next year as well. Um, let's see. Professional development. Just want to say thank you for those March 13th and 16th days. Our teachers appreciated that work time. So, wish we could have that every year. Um, so the middle school high school department, they met to collaborate on curriculum. So, they met as a department, talked about their instructional needs, vertical alignment, do they have what they need to to teach. Um, so meeting with Katie and Joe, and you know, we're going to meet this summer and talk more about that, too. Uh, let's see, elementary. So, we've had four teachers so far this year start teacher child interaction therapy or therapy training. Um, the parent side
040of things is called therapy. So, if you go to the very last page, I just I found this graphic on Google. This is the best one I could find. Um, so it is how teachers can respond to students in their classroom um for positive behaviors. So they reflect on their pride skills. So praise, reflect, imitate, describe, and enjoy. So hopefully we can get all of our teachers to a point where they're all trained. Um, but we only can train about right now for a year. So, we've had um a fourth grade teacher, third grade teacher, music teacher, and kindergarten teacher go through it. So, we have a coach um we have a coach from a speech language pathologist from Lake Legacy that comes in and she goes into the classroom and she gives feedback to
041the teacher that's teaching in real time. So, she'll like find an earpiece in her ear and she'll say, "Hey, do this, say this, say this." I don't know if anyone's heard of parent child interactive therapies. Um but just like that, but the teacher side of things. So, um, our social workers are going to be trained. They just found that out today. Mary's one of our social workers. Um, so they're going to be one of our coaches. So, the coaches go in and train the staff to um how to respond to behaviors. So, I think that will be >> what's the issue per year funding thing or why can we only do four per year? >> Because each coach can only do two teachers at a time. So, we only have one coach right now. So,
042the goal is to get more staff trained. Um, but the staff that are coaches need to have a more flexible schedule. So, like I would love one of our the fourth grade teacher that's going through it. I would love for her to be a coach, but her her schedule isn't flexible. Um, she'd have to go coach during her prep time and all that. So, Carrie and Mary, their schedules are more flexible, so they can go and coach during the day. >> So, will that be a goal to get more coaches and find more people? >> Yeah, I hope so. Yep. If we're So, love that they're doing that, but and that the time is flexible, but I also know that they're very busy. So, we get so what are they giving up to be able
043to do this coaching? So, so next year they will be helping with behaviors because limited middle school. So, they already know during various kindergart kindergarten, first grade, Mary does second, third, and fourth. So during those grade levels, lunch and recess time, they are going to be assisting with behaviors and then doing this coaching. So they have about an hour and a half block each during the day that we'll be taking away from small groups or individual groups. >> Yeah. I mean, for what it's worth, Mary got my daughter through an incredibly hard time because she had the time. So, I really hope that we're not taking away from her being able to do those types of things because it's really critical to their discipline kids in that. >> Yeah. >> I'm I'm I'm also nervous
044about NAR for our principles and whoever helps them. In this case, Mary and Carrie are special ed teachers and we're just talking about how can this work and still meet the needs of kids that really need it. It's uh it's a concern of mine too as the principles have heard me say in almost every princip trying to make sure how does this look what do we need to do what's with what we have right >> yeah like like this morning I was like hey I have a full day like I don't have any meetings well and then four behaviors come up this morning's not here so what I was planning on doing I couldn't do >> so but with this training specifically So we are already asking that group of people to do more next
045year. Are they the right ones then to be asking to do the coaches in this capacity? >> Well, I would hope that we would see a return on this. Like for example, we have one of our teachers who um I mean we're looking at the data, the number of referrals this teacher is putting in has decreased significantly. So, we're hoping with this training we will get more bang for our buck and we won't see as many behaviors or the the teachers will be better equipped to to handle the behaviors in the classroom. >> Yep. So, maybe I think I missed this. Why can't the AC person do more um coaching for us? >> Well, only one coach can do two staff members at a time. >> How long does the training take? >> Yeah. Sorry,
046I maybe was that like is it like a month or two? No, it it goal is until the the staff Yep. The staff number show is that they have reached the point where they can graduate from the program. So it could take >> Yeah. So like um one of our kindergarten teachers and music teachers, they just started in January. It could take them all the way up until May. >> So it's like a semester. >> Sure. >> Y >> So that person can only do first semester or whatever. So would it be possible then if sorry I'm becoming she's here but um if she says you know I just need to be in my room more to assist this group of kids like we have high emotional needs maybe we have a big drama that
047happens at our school or I don't know I can think of from my own professional take that there could be a million things that could happen um is that is it possible then that if we need her in that capacity first that she gets to serve the students before she starts the teachers. >> Yeah. So, what I I honestly just talked to Carrie and Mary about this today. Um we're not going to they're not going to start coaching until January. So, the coaches training is this May. So, we're going to get them trained, but then they won't have to start until next January because I want to see how follows assistant principal and supporting. That makes that that makes me feel a lot better for them because I think it's already going to be a
048juggling act and I feel that if they're already taken away then ours well in this case Jamie is going to be stuck with trying to manage some of those behaviors because as I've come in here before she's had some of the highest sitters um sitting in there altogether because you're busy and Katie was busy and the and they were busy. So then you know we've got our secretary who's already busy adding to that. So I I get concerned that adding to their workload is going to also add to yours. And I do like the idea for January. That makes sense. >> Is this I know it says social workers which are your elementary counselors as well, but what are we doing? The high school middle school ones too. >> So they haven't dabbled in this
049yet. They they can. Um but that's something I think we might look at next year. We're going to have to sometime. I'm just thinking more coaches, more bodies, less time away from everyone else's like original, >> you know what I mean? Share the spread the spread the love a little bit. >> And I think that the goal of this and I kind of already said this, is to decrease the amount of referrals. So that's the point. So hopefully it can be more proactive than reactive. >> I do like the idea. I mean, I think it makes a lot of sense um in the end. I mean, who's going to get through a lot to get there? So, >> can I go back to win time for a minute? >> Yeah. >> Have we considered doing
050a survey of the teachers to see if they feel like our current implementation of win time is helping and worth it? Possibly the staff will actually be getting a survey. Well, the elementary staff at least. Um, parents got a survey, the students are being surveyed, we sent it out last year, too, and now the staff are going to be surveyed. So, that's something we can definitely add. I think it would be interesting to see if taking that 25 minutes of the dayto day is, and I don't know what the outcome is going to be. I'm just curious is um more is positively impacted or negatively impacted. Right? Like you look at the elementary kids, I imagine that's a transition time. So transition time is taking time away. So they're in that instruction time for 25
051minutes, then they need to potentially transition back. Um, you know, I know my children's experience with one time. Um, so two, I'll be many. Um, and would just be curious to see other teachers. I feel like at the elementary we would have a lot of positive responses because um it is targeting what they need and they have expectations they follow and it helps our special ed staff, our social workers. It gives us that dedicated time to truly get kids what they need. So my perception at least um last thing that I put on here is just summer planning with Katie. We're splitting a curriculum director role. I'm very grateful for that. So, um, we'll be doing some time in the summer. >> Will you take the elementary side of the curriculum and then she'll take
052that other side? >> Yeah, I think so. And then >> I suppose you're talking silly question. >> No, it's okay. Yeah, I'll I'll take elementary. She'll take middle school, high school. I mean it'll overlap because like I got my trainer but I have all the reps information kind of the process on curriculum adoption so it'll >> that was filter soon as it came out I was like you don't know the answer you just said that >> question we'll go on 6.4 committee reports. We'll start with the facilities transportation >> being prepared for my my facilities. >> Everybody >> I know these first meetings can be hard. >> Yeah, that was been so long. That was a very long time. Chase went over and showed us kind of all of the set, you know, just went
053through the whole it was very impressive. >> I know. I think he went over at our board meeting that he made a live like working document so you can track all the parts and all the orders and all the things that are being fixed and worked on. He pulled it up and showed it to us at our meeting. >> So everything you're talking about him and Alex working on that, right? >> Yeah. They created so John helped them with a a product that John had created before and so then they used it in his department and it was Yeah. pretty in depth. Um, so it's like the belts that are required for these HVAC units, the filters, when they were ordered, when they were serviced, >> he has it every day, every it's just, yeah,
054>> who was working on it and what was fixed or what wasn't fixed. So when they come back and say, "Oh, we did that." >> He has documentation of everything. >> So >> yeah, it holds the contractors accountable, too, not just our guys. Yeah. So it just was very, >> I guess I'd say, comprehensive of the district and both sites and buildings and Yeah, it was nice to see which is now something seriously that he has created that can be passed on which is wonderful. >> So yes, >> and then I think the other thing we briefly touched on were solar panels. >> Yes. And I have a little semis solar panel update today. Um cuz some particular person that knows a particular person had the conversation today with Chase actually quite a while and
055so uh ideal energies uh Chase was trying to get a hold of him this afternoon was last I heard he hadn't got a hold of him yet because the state person is supposed to be here and he hasn't come back or she hasn't come back yet. uh and they are due to come back in May is the last thing Chase heard and that was the inspection piece that failed the first time according to Excel they fixed that a while ago and yet the state person hasn't come back don't understand the reason why other than maybe there's super swamp of solar going on all over the place which is also true so he's his last correspondence with ideal energies is May >> IDE is Yes, it's the ones that did all the install. >> Yeah. Frustrating
056because they got paid the grant. >> Here we are. Excellent to whatever portion there was. There's state hasn't >> they haven't because they need to come back. There was something I don't know what it was that didn't pass inspection the first time and then uh Excel had to come back. They did and the state person hasn't been. That's what's >> 100% sure it's fixed >> according to a person that you may know. Yes. >> Well, to be fair though >> to an Excel Energy person said his understanding is it's taken care of. >> Yep. And so he said it's just a matter of having that state inspector back to I guess check the boxes or to make sure that it is plugged in or >> Okay. that the switch is flipped and and whatever it
057is that was caught by the state inspector the first time uh was supposed to have been addressed and it sounds like from Excel Energy they have addressed it >> feels like it feels like haven't been >> utilized because the process has been delayed at some point and we were misunderstanding why or not un not sure why but Now they figured out but they can't be back. >> They figured it out a while ago. I think it's just Yeah, but to to schedule them I guess has been somewhat of a nightmare. >> Are we all? So no money there paid. Nothing. >> No, we didn't. We haven't paid anything. Wow. So it's all been the grant. But what that's what's frustrating though. So we have a company that got paid >> and they got it. It's
058all installed. Some connection whatever this >> you know it's more complicated than just plugging it in. But basically, it's like, >> okay, the state didn't like the plugins, so we had to get a >> GI revenue. >> We're not saving anything. We're not storing any electricity. They're not up and running yet. It hasn't been a cost yet. Potentially a cost, right? Because we haven't reaped the benefit, I guess, yet. >> Yeah. I think the other thing we talked about was um >> transportation summer rec stuff like when if we're running buses as often type of thing or we're not shuttling a late >> bus next year or something like that which I think we've already talked about but we just went over it. >> Have we so badly a question are we having the same
059shuttle buses? >> It's going to be a lot less um Um, well, Tracy is still working out the summer schedule because it's been out there now. All people are registering. So, it's going to be kind of a numbers game, too, a little bit. I think I don't want to speak on her behalf. She's been digging way deep into that. And she's been working with Eileen and Jason right now about what we need, what we won't need. Um, she is trying to make it as efficient as she can with with using our activity buses or the other uh um van that we purchased. So hopefully between the two maybe if it can't that she needs a bus then she's going to do that. But um one of the things I know that she's talked about is
060to ask parents, hey Britney, do you need transportation? On what days do you need transportation? What times you need transport if >> or Angela or you know whatever. Uh and then you have to so she's trying to get like >> one thing she found. Yeah, I think that's what she's doing. Yeah, there you go. Because she needs to find out what are the numbers, right? So because maybe probably. >> Yes. And if you don't sign up, you're not guaranteed you're not guaranteed a spot >> because if they only have enough members and run the small bus of the band, that's what's coming. Trying to be more responsible because often times there's two kids on a big bus and that can't be done. >> Yeah, that was >> I think we talked about that in our
061advisor. I think that's why and I think that was in the closer. >> It was it was Yep. Yep. All right. Any other questions for transportation facility? >> All right, move on to DT. Uh, so DLT, we met here a couple weeks ago. Uh, this one was focused on the elementary. So there and talked about that. Uh, went through some goals goals of the of the elementary. Um, talked about when interventionists uh, attendance. I mean, the biggest thing is how I mean, how do you get make sure we're getting kids to school? in fam family involvement. Uh PBIS the the Rebel way just kind of updated for next year staff leadership. Uh they the fun run the fun run they talked about they raised 35 grand for that used it for some green space equipment
062author visit right kindergarten roundup was right right uh happened right before this as of then we had 94 uh kids signed up for it and hopefully over the summer they talked about 20 talked about 20 to 30 more potentially is kind of history what history has told us um we talked about the plan for behavior issues for next year. Um what what that could look like? >> No, it was Yeah, pretty much it was uh Yeah, just kind of ran through things and talked concerns about next year and what that might look like. >> You brought up some stuff about uh talk about the Minnesota paid or family family leave. uh universal meals fund balance transfers is talked about. >> Yeah, that was kind of at the end I think we're going to finish some
063questions on our address. So, yep. >> All right, we'll go on to 6.5 superintendent. Yeah, I guess I didn't I mean I know we have a lot of reports tonight so I just want to kind of keep it simple. Uh obviously David sent out an email regarding our mediation and there's some action items here tonight in the board meeting too about that settlement I guess. Um and so it's uh it's a process. I'll just say that. And uh I feel like you know in the at the end um big picture it was it was a good thing. I guess I'll say it that way. David, you were there too. You sent out the information. If you want to elaborate on that, I guess you can. But >> yeah, I mean, I would just say, you
064know, it's mediation is the process where both parties typically end up being disappointed. And I'm sure that was the case here. It's always like everyone's got two circles of what they're willing to do and can get those circles to, you know, intersect. And at that point in time, you got have a process for getting an an agreement and um I guess the way I look at it is think about what it costs to try a case like that. Uh probably 200 250,000 to go to trial. Very fact intensive and that's one of the reason why they're so expensive. Um, and when you do that, spend the money. The one thing you'll be certain is you'll lose the insurance fees. One thing you don't know is how jury is going to rule on that. And it's
065not, we can say, you know, we don't like this about that, but that's not really the standard that architects and professionals are held to. It's standard of care. So, there's some errors that are sort of baked in to their standard. And it's more complicated than that. And certainly, they would argue that We think we had a reasonable case which is why they were willing to pay money. Um and you know it takes the risk of spending that money and then what would happen in trial and not to mention the one thing that often is lost in the process is the process is not much fun either because you go through depositions uh where staff would be called in. Shannon would be occupied with that going through all the facts, gathering all the information. It's very
066disruptive to you know it's been disruptive to this point but going through discovery it's incredibly disruptive going depositions getting crossing going through trial a lot of prep a lot of time away from your regular duties. So, um yeah, I think it was I think it was a good um So, yeah, it's yeah, here we are. Um the second thing I just uh added on there, um we meet tomorrow night again with the MSEA group. So, it's non-certified. Uh we have negotiations tomorrow. This is our third gathering. And for the most part, we're going to talk in some language. uh they have had our offer and whatn not to look at here for a while. So I'm optimistic um that we'll finish this month and that was their goal too um so we can be able
067to name and then their staff and the whole uh health insurance and those types of things and the benefits uh before that happens. So uh they want that we want that. So I'm feeling good about it. The other three and have any thoughts on that? I would say overall we've just worked through some language that I think we both agree on. It's just how to say it or how to express right and and so it's been interesting that way but we both I think are looking at it the same way is how I feel. So yeah so it's been good conversation. >> Yeah I would agree. Yeah. Um uh questions for me >> since I know there's a lot today. I just want this short question for Shannon. We'll go on to number seven approval
068of the meeting. Um approve the regular meeting of March 23rd, 2026. Do I have a motion? >> Motion by Nicole. Second >> second is lower than mine. Well, it just travels faster, I think. >> All right, we have a motion and a second. Any questions or discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say I. I. Oppos. Motion carries. We go on to the consent agenda. 8.1 for April 2026 and the amount of >> $212,612.75 >> approved and filed for audit. Treasur's monthly budget report approved the resignation of Brook Huntstead counselor effective at the end of the 2025 2026 school year. Approve the resignation of Carrie Kinsel art teacher effective the end of the 2025 2026 school year. Approve the resignation of Chase Johansson building and grounds effective April 30th6. Do I have a motion? >>
069Motion by Nicole. Do I have a second? >> Second. secondary. Any questions or discussion? >> Well, we So, um I just want to say thank you to Carrie and everything she's done for this district. Um she had an opportunity to take another position, which is what she went to school for. She is going to only teach ceramics. So, she's super excited about that. It's kind of her wheelhouse. Uh something that kind of came up that I don't know if she was necessarily looking for, but it happened. And it's similar to the next person and that's Chase. Something popped there for him. That was an opportunity and they both got a good opportunity. So just want to thank them both and uh good luck to them. It's going to be sad seeing both go but um
070yeah thank >> and then Brooke too. Yep. This this is a good thing for our family and a good thing for her. So it's it was the right decision. So good for her. She's got to move. >> Yep. Um Chase him and I have met we met Friday again with him again tomorrow. Uh we have hosted the position um and so we have kind of a transition plan. I've also talked to the other school and said when we meet him in a month because whoops we forgot about this or whatever. The other school said absolutely we get it. And so they would work with us to maybe he needs beer perhaping or what have you just to make sure that um again his systems that he's put in place are going to really be beneficial
071in this setting for sure or in this situation. And uh yeah, but both parties it seems like uh I said we're going to need them. I know we're going to need them for something that people don't know and they were wide open to it. So I appreciate it. So, do we put somebody else like as an interim position for a while? So, somebody's watching. >> Well, we're gonna see what happens here. We just posted it. I have visited with somebody. Um, and so I want to have a Yep. And so, I want to have another conversation with that person. Obviously, we get some other people that apply. Um, Chase feels like some of the guys that we have, the one issue I'm concerned about is our custodial staff and supervision on that. So we him
072and I are talking about all the above. Um and so if we need to place somebody temporarily we Yep. Yep. So they might be on >> parttime job. >> Yeah. So uh that's what we're working through is the logistics of that. Yeah. So anyway, any other questions or discussion? >> Hearing none. All those in favor say I. I. >> Both. Carries. Nine new on business. 9.1. This is to approve the certified contract for Olivia Watson Middle School back teacher gay step two effectively start 2026 2027 year. Do I have a motion? >> So by do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Angela. Any questions or discussion? >> Hearing none. All those in favor say I. >> I. Motion carries on 9.2. This is to approve the administrative contracts as presented with
0732026 2027 and the 2027 2028 school year. Do I have a motion? >> Motion by Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Angela. Any questions or discussion? >> This is consistent with the summaries we received. >> Yep. Yeah, it just followed that exactly. I did uh and so um Britney had asked me a few questions here earlier too before the meeting and I had asked uh Brooke also because I couldn't remember the last time we did this but she said they've always been as a group like this so if it needs to be separate in the future if we need that or if that's a recommendation from the board we can uh this is how it's always been in the past so that's why we did it this way >> but
074it is yeah it's what I've been kind of sharing here >> so this would be admin and directors those two directors. Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Because they were always so when I came here, they were all on the administrative contract. This group was um one director has her administrative license but is a director obviously. Um the other person was always in on this. Um so I haven't changed it, I guess. >> Sure. I asked you so I knew I was voting on >> Yeah. No, it's fair. Yep. for sure. >> And I appreciate the input. I do. So So I'm I'm struggling with it as we as we look to look today at where we're at as a as a district finan financially. Uh do we have the wherewithal to keep keep doing are
075we position that, you know, we cut programs, we cut everything, and now we're looking at raises. And don't get me wrong, I think all the individuals do a great job and they've helped save save us money as a as a school. uh but and I'd love to give as much as we possibly can. The challenge becomes is is are we in a position to do that today. We went to the public, we asked for money. They said they said no. So where do we where do we go from there? Is you know we have all the other liabilities and as a as a school and can we can we cover it? Can we can we make it fly? And again I know it's a a small amount but so are some of these other things.
076So, where do we at what point do we say we just we just can't do it anymore? I don't know where that is, but it's hard. I mean, as a you I've been in the business for 23 or 24 years years now or whatever, and when times get tough, you know, you just you don't have the money to do it. I mean, you love to give everybody more and more, and everybody wants more, and there's a lot of people that deserve more than what they get. There's a lot of, as we realized and found out, there's other districts and other areas that will pay pay more. I'd love him. Again, I would love to, but I just struggle that we have the money. We're running in a deficit the way it is. Uh, and it
077doesn't look like it's going to get any any better unless we can get more money. So, if we had more money, I'd be 100% in favor, but today I just I'm just not in favor of it. I just don't don't see that we have the money to do it. Any other questions or discussion? >> I have the same concern as Troy does. I I worry that we have cut our debate team and we've cut all these things and said no to seemingly minor, you know, financial drops in a bucket, you know, when we think of the big scheme of things, you know, these little things that that mean a lot to a lot of people, you know, and then we said, "Okay, but we can find money for this." you know, at what point do
078are we prioritizing our student learning and our student um experience over um people? >> And I and I and I couldn't agree more with everything. The one thing I would say that's a little different here is that we're not going to freeze the teacher salaries. They're getting their raises next year. We have a negotiation going on right now with non-certified. So then we need to tell teachers they're not getting a raise next year because principles aren't getting a raise and neither are non-certified. That's where I struggle with it because we have contracts. We we have teachers that lost jobs so we can pay teachers next year. We have administration that got cut. So it doesn't mean we're taking all that money. And I get it because that's another good argument. It's like we didn't take
079all that money so we can pay them. But we're not going to freeze teacher salaries next year. They're going to get their pay raise. Okay? We're going to have administration. It's it just happened that it ended up being in this time. So, our non-certified I don't want to look at a custodian or a cook and say you're getting a zero because your contract fell in the wrong year. That's what I'm struggling with. I guess just I'm just sharing that side of it. Um I'm not going to ask the teacher, hey, thanks for giving up eight staff members and you don't get a pay tax and because nobody's getting it and I mean it is tough. But it's the financial situation we're in is a jump, right? It's a great I I get that. That's why
080I'm struggling where to draw the line. And so I guess this is the offer trying to keep it similar the same and or it was the departments or the directors that didn't get it last time. They got a smaller raise and then you have to bring in the most dollars. So that's where I was trying to justify that piece of it. But um that's what's tough. It's difficult. It just is. So, >> are we going to be able to balance the budget though with the raises that we have? I mean, these are our top paid positions and with the raise >> at that percent, are we going to be able to >> next year, you know, I mean, that that was an issue before have to come into the discussion to even propose to have
081that sort of increase. >> Yeah. Well, a 3% increase to the teaching staff is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this a 20ome thousand deal? And I get it's still 20,000. And I get it because then you can say, "Well, geez, the bank got this." I know. But that's why also we have a teachers group that has earned their dollars, right? Um they've earned them, okay, and are not certified. Whatever number that ends up being, is it $70,000 or 80 $100,000 of raises across all of them? I don't know. I mean that's >> yeah the challenge is the teachers though we voted on that last year so that's that's already done. I mean it stinks the position that we're in that what we're voting on now that we haven't had I mean we
082haven't had any talks of what we're going to do and what the plan is going forward. So >> I would say I guess you know from my perspective the cuts we've made may have been strategic and make no mistake we've been cutting for some time um just because you know prior to the state kind of not coming through if you will. Um I I think we've seen some enrollment declines that kind of evened out but we've been very strategic in the things about try to lessen the impact to students and frankly to staff as well. Um you know they are stakeholders in this and it's important to think about that. We also have to think about um opportunity costs that we lose when we lose somebody. Not saying that somebody's gonna leave, but um it's
083always a possibility. We've seen it happen. I think there's costs there, too, to get people up to speed. I think from my perspective on a on a personnel committee, and I think that's probably one of the things for me that's important is that we're strategic. We want to take care of people. Yeah. I mean, I think I agree with Troy's point in the sense that it's tough, but it's also important that we keep the folks that we have um and that we're competitive with some of the other districts. Otherwise, uh you know, we're going to have loss of knowledge. I mean, you lose people that know, for lack of a better term, where the bodies are buried. um you know they just have institutional knowledge here and it's really uh critical and I think these
084folks it's not outrageous it's you know the 3% realm same as essentially the teachers and I think it's reasonable for >> I think just for me which I said earlier too like I'd be more favorable if it was more equitable, more similar like between the administration of those two directors. Yeah. Yeah. >> Any other questions or discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say I. I oppose. Five. >> I just I not a very good hearer. So motion. >> I was >> This is to approve the first reading of the following policies. And this is these are also being subject to a second. Um 6 625 responsible use of art artificial intelligence. This policy probably will go on undergo some changes perhaps. 802 disposition of obsolete equipment and material. 805 waste reduction and recycling. 806
085crisis management policy. 807 health and safety policy. 901 community education. 902 use of school district facilities and equipment. 902 use of school district facilities and equipment. Addendum A. 903 visitors to school district buildings and sites. Do I have a motion? >> Motion. Do I have a second? Second. Second. Thank any questions or discussion. So when you talk about 625 responsibility of AI, I mean, so that's something we're going to look at that and re type something up for change. >> Yeah. I would just say when you look at the policy, I mean, these AI policies are hard, you know, and and you can imagine they're trying to develop one for that's good for the entire state. Um John came with to our group and talked about it. They have there are some some aspects to
086the policy that uh having to do with contracting requiring us to have certain things in our contracts that may be not even possible to do. So we really want to look at that make sure that it's reasonable for our district. We don't have much leverage when it comes to negotiating with Google for instance. So um you know there's it's true. We just want we want to make sure that the policy is is with what we can actually follow through with. >> That's perfectly said because we met with it was a superintendent group last week with MSBA and they just felt MSBA felt like we got to give schools something. Um but we don't even know what we don't know either. And the policy is I don't know what it is 15 pages or whatever. It's
087it's a lot. So it's like >> I don't know if we're ready for that. Even MSBA said it'll probably change in three months and it'll change in three months and as we get updates from them, yeah, obviously we'll have to revisit or take a look at it. But >> so will this be that one that we look at more than two years? Probably every year even MSB said they might give more updates.
