007on that um I'm going to read this too before we get going all right the Board of Education encourages public participation at its meetings and recognizes its responsibility to hear public comment an acknowledgement of the public comment will be provided as appropriate as a matter of practice the Board of Ed does not engage in dialogue or debate during the public comment period and there's although the Board of Ed welcomes comments about programs offered by the districts and the efforts of its staff the discussion of matters relating to specific individuals or students is prohibited comments are limited to five minutes with a maximum of 15 minutes per topic so it means if three people want to speak they get up to to they get there's three minutes uh at 5 minutes each that's 15 comments should
008be addressed to the president of the board not to individual board members staff or other persons attending the meeting and I the president who is me reserves the right to limit the time of all speakers for the purpose of conducting regular Board of Education business for the timing Mr katchadorian will be up and let me see [Applause] all right let's uh let's see what we can do with this uh Mr narelli Michael narelli yes I'm May would you like to stand and uh you are oh Michael narelli uh you have a Rexford address so you're not currently a resident of South Colony no I am an alumni okay thank you oh and that's so that organization or group represented says Colony alumni yes I was afraid there was a group grou that I was missing
009but you are a colony alone yes um and you're talking about the appointment of the colony varsity football coach please tread carefully go right ahead uh if there's only I'll give you a one minute warning just I don't need to cut you off at yeah are we going to be strict about the 15 minutes because I know there's a lot of other players here that would like to speak and I want to make sure that the players also get a chance to speak do we know how many speakers there are yeah how many speakers I yeah there's about 10 okay they have about 10 about 10 all right so even if you have three minutes each that's a 30 minute discussion that's a lot I'm okay to St go ahead please okay I'll come over
010here Sone you can see me so uh first of all thank you for giving me this opportunity as we stated my name is Mike nelli for those you who don't know me I uh grew up in Colony my wife and I both graduated from colony in 2001 you might know my father he was a middle school principal for 20 or 30 years at St Creek um I was also involved with the renaming of our football field for Coach Ambrosio I was part of that committee um I was also very honored when I was asked to speak on behalf of alumni at that the event where we um I guess took the archway and presented it to the community um so while I do not uh I'm not a resident of colony I still very much
011feel a tie to the school the community the football program I'm a very active and proud County of so tonight I want to share perspective about this varsity football position and um maybe I I'll talk about the coaching staff more broadly so in my experience um Colony coaching is more than just about football this is more than about just X and O's and wins and losses the coaching staff of colony knew that coaching is about shaping young athletes into hardworking responsible resilient young adults and I think back at my time 20 years ago uh are the team two Captain I care deeply about the wins and losses from how it was back in high school 20 years later I can't even tell you what our record was you know what I can tell you the
012lessons that I learned in that program from that coaching staff how to be hardworking how to respond to adversity how to be resilient how to do it for the person next to how do you be all in for something you care about so those lessons help me become a better football player and a better student at the time help me then become a better employee Better Community member later on in life and now more most importantly a better husband and father because I learned those lessons outside the classroom on the football field a bunch of coaches that really cared about the kids so that's why I'm here tonight even though I I may not be a resident of the community I'm still part of this community and to be honest with you guys I was
013supposed to be in Chicago tonight I have my own board meeting I was supposed to be my president or CFO and I run a commercial of our organization sales organization but I felt that strongly about this position about these kids so I know that the coaching staff that we have right now cares deeply about these kids I know that they're going to be best position to take care of these kids next year so I'm GNA skip some of what I wanted to say maybe I'll I'll end I'll end the plane here as a parent I recognize you Sports is probably more intense than it's ever been but I think it's also our job as parents as Educators as Community leaders is to help everyone take a step back take a breath remember what the real
014measure of success here the success isn't if we won or loss it isn't if our kids got a lot of playing time or if they if they scored a touchdown or fumble the ball the real success because they're not going to remember like these guys aren't going to remember 20 years from they just like me they're not going to remember the wins and losses but if we are lucky 20 years from now they're going to remember the lessons that this coaching t staff taught them and this community is going be better because of it so if we want our if this community if our community wants our SP sports program to be a vehicle for shaping young athletes into hardworking responsible resilient young adults I urge you that we need a strategy one to get
015more coaches like this and please let's make sure we don't lose the ones we got thank you all right thank you very much Mr narelli next up John kho I'm I'm gonna let one of the kids talk instead oh all right so we'll put you in the back all right uh Brady wiland hi Brady hi uh so I'm a current now pass player from uh County football program and as a whole I think all these kids can agree that we uh had one of the best seasons we have we had since 2017 actually was the best season we had since 2017 and the whole program felt that um and all these kids can attest to the fact that we just as um the Pres prior to me uh we we don't care about the record
016we do care about the record but as years on we we remember those practices that none of you guys will be able to experience only the players will be able to experience um the film the film on Saturday morning after after a game on Friday night the wait room at Saturday morning after a game none of you guys will know what went on in the in those moments and those moments are what we will remember very fondly of those that's bonding time and um time that coaches uh Ed to show us how much they care and I don't know how many academic programs around the um Community do this but we have academic meetings with uh the uh coach the coaching staff during school hours um to go over what we are how we are
017doing in school and what we can improve on and I don't I don't know how many districts or teams football teams throughout the district do that um and I'm lucky enough to have a coach that did that for me and help me set back on track know there's you know somebody that will you know keep me on track and keep me going um and un fortunately uh it's been brought to our attention that that there there might be a coaching change in the next year um and none of these kids want that I can assure you none of these kids want that um and there have there's a million reasons why that might be um Dr Perry can I ask you a question um your high school coach uh what was his name BR derw
018and he was the athletic director yes sir for 30 years um so I don't think that something like that should be a reason for a coaching change um as you know is the best PR around the area um except athletic directors as coach as part of the coaching staff um so I will leave you with the fact that we went for one at home and this community has paid attention to football than it has in the past 20 years more more atten more attentional football in the past 20 years part of it was because people wanted to see us lose people want to see us continue to and we prove that wrong we like the culture is is changing in Colony and is changing because of the coaching staff and it's very evident that that
019is true thank you very much all right Aiden IR hi Aiden hello uh hello board um I'm not going to allow you I had a lot of quotes from previous players directly about specific individuals that can no longer be said but I would also just like to say that if you were to look from an outside angle on our program a five and five season may seem very mediocre to some you know middle of the road not really up there but not down there just in the middle but as previously Brady had said four in one at home we take very very much pride in being able to perform for our students at home and to have a winning record for them and a very high tribute to that is in our coaching staff and
020our coaching our coaching staff is very academic minded it was just it was more than just the field is what I'll say it was very like as in Brady had said academic meetings with our students to monitor grades it was more than just what happened on the field it was development for the future and for the rest of our lives and the lessons that you will learn on the football field will carry you much more than it will just on the field it'll carry you into the rest of your life and wherever you may end up down the road all right thank you very much s satone hello s hi how you doing fine thank you so last year I moved back to Colony from Florida and it was a big adjustment and when I
021moved here I signed up to play football like I did in Florida and moving to a new school is a big change you know my family was a colony alumni all my family was and I felt hard in that I felt hard to be in Colony and our coaching staff helped me transition into this new school that my family went to along with the football program meeting new people gaining new friends like Brady Eric Aiden Jack Joey all everyone everybody here and I want to take pride in that not myself but everyone else and it isn't just about stats or wins or losses like my peers have set before me but it's also just like academics as well um I saw you know how we have our Weekly Newsletter Colony football all around the overall
022GPA for this season was at 95% and that's enough to Applause for that's one and it showed all the students names and I think that we should just look past the stats like I said just look at the coach keep it how it is and I feel dear to that that I met wonderful coaches and wonderful friends and wonderful people along Thea colony and I'm glad to say that I get to graduate as a colony alumni like my peers and my family and I just want to than you guys for your time thank you very [Applause] much all right Eric Adams uh hi board I'm Eric Adams so I'm a senior so I just played football um so just talking about the coaching staff and um I love them I've been playing football since I
023was I don't know like a little kid and um when I came in as a freshman the coaching staff just brought me under their wing and taught me everything they know and um my sophomore year I got brought up to Varsity and we were one in 10 but the coaches really um my junior year after that the coaches really uh try to care for for us and really just brought that culture back into colony and trying to bring everything back into Colony football and really caring we went four- six and then this previous year we went five and five and it just shows how much the coaching staff really cares about us from going to every morning lift with us to um setting up every camp for us to go to lineman challenge to go
024into a lot of stuff for us because how much they cared they cared so much for us and um I'd want to leave you with how much they cared for us thank you all right thank you very much [Applause] ER all right was trying to see if I got through the students excuse me Tom's the official um okay Al Alicia you're an adult John kho you're an adults Kelly Wyland these guys adults in training and I do have to say on behalf of the board one of the things that I look at most with with our students is the ability to stand up and speak in public because that is so important to the rest of your life don't ever be afraid to stand up you guys did a terrific job thank you very much
025all right um Alicia Mick I'm step out sure hello Alicia hi um I'm the treaser of the club and I fed these boys all season long their record was great I got to peek behind the curtain with the dinners to see them interacting with each other and the coaches and this is more than a team this is a family I can attest to that from every coach from every ball boy to the two managers to every player whether they played One Snap or no snaps due to injury whatever happened they were team they were a family they were there for everything and that's been instilled on them for all their years of football and that comes from that tiic group of coaching that they have dealt with for four years my son started un modified
026but once he got to high school and got to JB his socialization with football and just everything he blossomed and bloomed and a lot of that I can put towards football and the team and just everything that they instilled I'll say it again but the way that they press the academics like that importance of of getting good grades and why is this work missing like even though your parents are doing them that at home for them to do it as well the coaching staff it just it just shows how much they really care I was there with these kids before games after games losses wins celebrations dinners everything no complaints the fact that I had to come here tonight and and speak on the team was a little upsetting because I was like why what's
027wrong like we had a great season we did great we we you know the bleachers were filled people loved it the boys had these boys had a great season and and I mean they got that extra game after senior night and if you could have seen their faces and their Embraces with each other and the coaches and just that bond that then they took to the banquet it it would change your mind so if you're on the fence just go back and look at the pictures or the memories um come to a dinner next year they're on Thursday nights we get donations from the community the community was so involved this year that we got free dinners from everywhere from Texas Roadhouse to an noo kitchen food trucks and it was fantastic and I'll feed
028these boys again and the coaching staff and I would do it all again and I would take up all my own time to do it it doesn't matter I never asked for a dime I fed them I hugged them I consoled them when they lost and I celebrated when they won and I love them all thank you very much all right next up Kelly Wyland hey there um these kids are all better speakers than me I have to have my notes um so I'm Kelly W I'm the parent of um over here um a senior he was one of the captains this year um before I get too far into this it's my understanding that this is allegedly not about a win loss record it's about whether someone can be an administrator and also coach
029at the same time um so as Dr Perry attested uh the current coach is not the first and not the last to hold an administrative position while coaching for many years in other districts the athletic director and others held very prominent coaching positions and for a very very long time so the coach that we have now has been coaching for 32 years and leading the team for the last six seasons ended this year as the boy said um with the best record in about 10 years on a beautiful turf field and a with a beautiful scoreboard and next year will be one of the nicest stadiums in section two and this is when the board decides they're going to enforce this rule so this season I inadvertently ended up on the booster club um but
030that afforded me an opportunity like just said to peek behind the curtain and we've had Vantage points that very few of you have had um I listened to what the coach told his kids every Thursday night I watched how they responded to him and to each other week after week he taught them that each one of them brings value to this team the lesson they learn from not just the wins but especially the losses those are lessons that the kids will take with them and apply to other areas in their lives as well um again as the kids told you he meets with each kid individually to discuss their grades and you know he teaches them it's not who you are on the field and what you do on the field it's who you are
031as a person and what you do off the field and whenever you put that Jersey on you represent your school your community and their families and they take that very seriously and what you also don't see is what the team means because you're seeing it tonight for the first time is what the kids mean to each other they are a family they celebrate the wins they learn from their losses because of those losses the winds are that much sweeter and did you know on multiple occasions this season these kids stayed in the locker room dancing until like 11:00 at night and I saw the videos and I saw how much fun they were having and finally as most of you know my husband has been covering High School sports in this area for 38 years
032so for 38 years he has stood on the sidelines and reported on other people's kids well this year he had the chance to stand on the sidelines along with his own son and it was an experience the two of them got to share and I can't begin to explain to you that feeling that what it meant to each of them and this time that kids life is so fleeting you never get this time back you never get to do this again they will never share that kind of experience between a father and son like that ever again this football coach has been coaching other people's children for 32 years next year will be his last opportunity to coach his own son who will be a senior next year I would hope as a board that
033you would recognize and respect that please don't deny a father and son that kind of shared experience that they will treasure the rest of their lives if you do decide to enforce the no administrator rule I'd urge you to at least wait one more year three months that's all the football season is three months so if you can't give this particular coach three more months ask yourself why is it professional or is it personal and if it's personal remember as a member of the school board you represent your family you res represent your school district and you represent your community and is that what you want to model for your kids thanks all right we have well I have one written and I'll get that to that Mr kho good morning I mean afternoon I
034became the uh booster president I think in like September October when they say you guys don't get to see what these kids do you don't these kids even if they lose they're learning life lessons the coaching staff right now presses not presses does a lot about academics let's be honest don't offense any of the kids most of them are not going to go to Pros or anything they have to learn the academics and they have to become a team I know when I played football a long time ago our teams won four games in four years we learned a lot from the losses they're going to have losses in their lives they have to know how to deal with it these coaches put in all kinds of time all kinds of effort on their own
035time it football is all year now they do seven on sevens they do camps they do all that kind of stuff if you change something now with what everything you have good going with the stadium the new locker rooms the new turf fields the indoor tour Fields all that you're going to make it tough on these kids that they don't really need all because of like people are saying you're trying to enforce a rule that you don't enforce and again like Kelly said if it's personal you got to take that out you can't have personal stuff on the board I'm 28 years in law enforcement I know you can't have personal stuff going on you got to split it so I just think that the coaching staff should stay the same and like Kelly said
036if you want to do it another year that's all right but at this point I think everything that's going on well you should uh keep the coaching staff as it is thank you very much Mr all right we do have I beg your pardon yes great may I go on for just 30 more seconds can Brady go on for 30 more seconds starting now so I of course that we are not allowed to directly talk about a specific person or but we can talk about group of people and the group of people I would like to talk about is the past players and current players unfortunately are not able to be here and um one thing that really stood out to me of one of the players that said um that I talked about in
037what I said was that you guys are not the ones on the football field practice field in that uh uh film room or the weight room you don't see the downright teaching that um the coaches instill behind the curtain you are not a player so why do you get determined who our coach is that's all I want to say thank you all right I have one online comment from Kelly writing uh I'm not going to say that a coach who we need a coach who encourages and promotes development of the whole team and not just a select few we need new ideas and plays on our field we have had big changes with our football field and with those changes should come differences about that all right and lastly for a change of Pace Lou
038Stevenson while we are discussing the budget I would like to see additional FTE literacy specialist for freshmen for remedial reading who need AIS Services I also think there should be an option to spread the algebra 1 curriculum over two years have a Al excuse me have an allergy allergy Al algebra easy for me to say one a and an algebra 1B for students who struggle with math uh Mr Stevenson thank you very much I will have Dr Perry get in touch with you all right did I miss anything from the the ones that were some folks put theirs in on the computer and then showed up still Eric Adams was the only one I don't know Eric Adams yes Kelly brand yes kho yes l stev inent it was read wiland wiland Adams satone and

040revisions made to the above stated policies be approved as presented all in favor any opposed motion carries 9 to Z zero agenda item number eight reports for information letter A 2025 2026 budget discussion that is you miss mallister as Jack sets up I just want to introduce uh some of our speakers here tonight uh I think first off is going to be wman our director of student Sports Services uh to to the far left as we Face them Kimberly Matthews our supervisor of K4 uh student Sports Services Brian sco our supervisor of 512 and uh Mr Wardman is our supervisor of enl special programs the upk and Bill I may have forgotten a few other oh look at that okay thank you well good evening everybody uh I'm Melissa Wilman I'm the director of special
041ed and student Support Services um I also wanted to take a moment to introduce I know um Dr raso is here with us as well Dr raso is our high school CSC chairperson and transition coordinator so another member of our team so we're going to talk a little bit about our priorities this I don't know where I should be looking a full room tonight so um we're going to talk about our priorities that we've been working on for the last year um and I'm going to just I know I shared this last year but for those who don't know what falls under the umbrella of student Support Services a lot of things um all of our special ed Department which includes special ed teachers speech pathologists occupational therapists physical therapists um our enl programs nurses
042as you can see it's quite a it's quite a big umbrella um we also um coordinate all of our special ed meetings 504 meetings um that's the season we're in right now so it's a busy season I want to talk a little bit about the priorities that you'll see um districtwide and then each one of our supervisors are going to talk about their respective priorities that they've been working on in the last year um these are our familiar topics for us um our consistent practices is really really important our team has evolved and grown quite a bit in the last couple of years thanks to the support of the board um but even within our office our clerical staff has also changed so this consistent practices and paperwork documentation is really important to making sure
043that we have Equitable and supportive um you know supports for students families and staff adapting to the evolving needs that's something that continues to be on our Forefront um our enl populations continue um to grow and evolve and it sometimes hard to predict um what we're going to be you know asked and how we're going to support them I shared with you last year that our preschool services are unfortunately limited and we are still feeling the impacts of that so what that means is that um we have students that are on weit lists that qualified for services and we aren't able to provide services um those are provided by the county um but it's our responsibility to coordinate those meetings um but how does that impact us it impacts us because when they enter school
044we have we have children that had needs that we identified when they were 3 four or 5 years old and they weren't able to get support so they're a little bit more behind than what they could have been if they had that support we also see that with students as they're aging into Adult Services um I had shared with you last year that now students can stay through their 22nd birthday our district um had grants students to stay through the end of the semester of their 22nd birthday but part of that is because there aren't a lot of adult agencies for them to trans position to after they exit high school so on either end of the school district those are just challenges and that we're trying to support students and help them um we're
045trying to help families engage with opwdd earlier really hoping that if we can get them connected earlier that it will help with that transition as they get older using data to inform decision-making is um is critical for the work that we do um because we want to be making it goes goes back to our consistent practices but we also want to be able to support um students whether they're working through something that's challenging or something that's really successful we're using that data to help guide the decisions that we're making um we are working on data meetings to you know help to ensure that students are progressing with the services that they receive whether they need more or less Services is really important and um so those data meetings have been critical in in supporting students
046development and we continue to support um mtss that does not necessarily directly link to special education however many of our providers um are supports in mtss this is the third year of mtss our speech and OT providers have a direct role in supporting mtss um thank you to the board we were able to add Physical Therapy we have two new physical therapists on our team and we're hoping in the coming years that they'll be able to also provide support A Change Is that this year we were able to implement speech and OT for the first six weeks of the early six weeks of the school year um pushing into all kindergarten classrooms to support students as a tier one intervention for all students um and we're reflecting on that to say what what can we
047do moving forward TOA can you remind everybody what mgss is that's the multi-tiered systems of support that's that um we have academic intervention services speech OT um intervention some other pieces that we had this year it's been a little bit of a year of recalibration thanks Bill Boardman for um that's the uh the term that we've coined um but I want to just pause to reflect on last year when we came to the board there were um some positions that we asked um the board to consider adding and we were able to add um our two physical therapists who have really been wonderful additions to our district we know that it's going to take a little bit of time um because what we're finding in working with them is that we're able to streamline Services
048a little bit better now that um those individuals are meeting with our teams regularly meeting with families regularly um previously we contracted services so those people provided direct service and then they left to go to other schools or other districts now they're really integrated and part of our team and they're working towards student Independence which is what our priority should be we were also able to add a school psychologist um to increase um our enl school psychologist so now we have a a part-time psychologist that's Dr CeCe Chong I know that you've heard about her who is supporting our Eno programs um part-time so that's been a really really uh wonderful addition we are also very grateful to have added Stacy gersi to our team Stacy's a familiar name she was our cpsc chairperson and
049speech pathologist and she's our our Middle School CSC chairperson which has allowed Brian and Kimberly respectfully I'm a little bit more time in the spring to be in classroom supporting teachers um so also a really great addition and we rounded out our upk programs to now be in all five buildings by adding a upk teacher and teing system as part of our recalibration we conducted a internal audit of our special ed programs earlier this fall um we were looking at um how we wrote IEPs we looked at Staffing um we looked at um teaching certification and in that audit we we found um you know some really positive things um that was like a nine-year audit we found that we have really improved the consistency with which we write IEPs so we found um that
050over that time we really streamlined that we found um that we have increased our Staffing um over that time period I want to make sure I reflect my notes any other um I'm sure I hit that um one of the things I found I was really excited to see that is that we've increased our least restrictive environment so in a special ed world that means that students are in less restrictive locations and we really increased that number over the last nine years and I think that was a really positive um a really positive outcome for us um the educational benefit review that was something I conducted in January where we took um representation from all of our departments and all of our levels and we actually reviewed a cross-section of IEPs and so what you
051do is you look at um a student's IEP which is completely redacted so nobody knows who the student is and you look at the last three years and what you're determining is has that child received educational benefit from their special education services and what we found across all of the IEPs that we reviewed is that yes our students are receiving educational benefit we wanted a little bit more from that we wanted to identify what are we doing well and what pieces could we refine as a district in our special education because we really want to get ourselves just on this reflective process where we're we're seeing what we're doing well but also identifying how can we support staff how can we support um our students and in that review we found that we we really
052know our students well we're writing in IEPs we're talking about their strengths their preferences they're written in a very positive manner we found that our related service providers are working really hard on the progression of skills so when IEPs have goals and we want them to be progressing in more complex skills so we found that our related service providers are really doing a great job with that areas that we identified for improvement is making sure that the programs and services written the IEPs and IEP goals align with students disabilities sometimes we we found that students may have a disability in an area but we have supports on IEPs in other areas we all have needs we all have areas that are challenging but that doesn't necessarily mean that we would have those pieces written into
053the IEP um we also so the the thread through the I connecting those those are our biggest outcomes so our team developed some goals that we're going to be working on in the next two years um providing training to staff we're actually going to be doing the educational benefit review with all of our K12 um special education staff a little bit abbreviated because a full day is a lot but on our next superintendent conference they we're going to be doing a half day that team is going to be helping to facilitate that um and that has determined our professional development for October and just part of that cycle that team will then be reviewing IEPs to make sure that that we're continuing to progress as we would like to so those are our big um
054that's a lot um that's going on but kind of a brief overview of that recalibration that we we kind of are any questions for me at this time just step one sure you mentioned opwdd and I just I'm curious um are we conducting like all of the necessary assessments across the spectrum that families might need to to qualify for opw so we don't actually have an obligation to do all of those we do our best we're trying to ask families um around those time frames when students would be eligible so for those who are not familiar opwdd has very specific requirements um for students to be considered for eligibility some of them are not things that the school district has to do we do our best if time allows to do those additional tests but
055sometimes it's after we've already conducted the evaluation so we may not be able to do that at that time so we do our best to do it that's part of our process as we're trying to ask families where they are so we can help them to the best of our ability thank you thank you very much did I push it again go the wrong way you're going want to point that the computer's over there there you going backwards there there you go oh I'm sorry I didn't I didn't really talk yes I'm back forget about it um most of this information I've already shared with you as far as our trends go um and our rollment numbers are are pretty consistent um we do have um I had shared that we have limited resources as
056far as preschool services and um after student stud exit very similar with um out of District placements we have about 30 students that are placed outside of the district one student placed residentially we do anticipate that 29 of those students will remain in those placements we do have several students that are awaiting a placement so what that means is we have we have worked really hard to support them within our district but sometimes they do need more and we do not want them to be awaiting a placement but if there isn't one available it's unfortunately a little bit of a limbo um I shared about the post 21 those are students that are eligible to stay through the semester of their 22nd birthday we do have three students um that are eligible for that this
057coming year that we do anticipate um uh staying and I did share with you our preschool needs um continue to support them very good I promise I am done thank you good evening Kimberly Matthews um Dr car said I'm the supervisor for um prek through grade four special education so I'm going to talk a little bit about our elementary priorities and I promise I'll be brief um Mr M told me I only have two minutes so talk fast um so one of our priorities in elementary is supporting behavior um this has been ongoing and um it's been a districtwide kind of push toward helping our teachers support Behavior because we see more and more behavioral needs with our incoming student populations and therefore when we're placing students in the least restrictive environment more of our
058programs have to support behaviors um so we're working on this um as a department um our in-house PT staff Melissa talked to you a little bit about I can't even begin to tell you what a wonderful addition to our programs they have been um very talented staff that we hired and became a collaborative part of every building team very quickly um I'm continuously impressed by their knowledge base and their willingness to support all Learners um they are working on an mtss plan um that we may be able to begin to implement in the next year or two to um which for new staff to be taking that on is huge um they're wonderful our building um special education staff and related service providers are so happy to have them on board consistently trying to make
059practices between buildings consistent some of our buildings have strengths other buildings don't some of our buildings have programs other buildings don't but when we're talking about special education practices we're trying to make sure that those practices are consistent between buildings so we do that in a lot of different ways um one way that I work really hard at that is through our special education department meetings which is all of our special education teachers and staff we meet as a department four times a year um I work to embed professional development into those sessions so that we're really working on those things that we need to discuss as common practices between buildings making sure I'm sharing resources we have a shared drive for those resources so that I can um embed those in emails to people
060and say hey take a look at this resource when we're to before we have this conversation um great tools and people are really working hard at that um specially designed instruction is the Cornerstone of special education so we're not just supporting students with the general education curriculum we're looking at where they fell off the rails with that curriculum and we're finding an entry point and we're providing specially designed instruction around that and so for some of our Educators this is a bit of a shift in practice because we want to partner with our general education teachers and of course our priority is that kids are accessing the curriculum we also have to really make sure we're specially designing the instruction we're providing so that we can um meet students stud where they're at and make
061sure we're accelerating their progress we've been working really hard this year on sharing the structures routines and proactive supports that all of our students with a disability need in all of our programs um across our buildings making sure we're collaborating and sharing resources around those we know that students with a disability thrive in environments that are predictable and where they can find routines and where when they're transitioning from one grade to another the routines and the procedures are the same so we're really working hard on establishing those districtwide as well and um my last bullet point is identifying and prioritizing skills to accelerate student progress we want our students with the disability to close the gap and keep up with their general education peers and so giving teachers tools that they can use to to
062identify where kids are falling off the rails and then helping them to prioritize those skills so that they can intervene and accelerate progress is a really important thing we're doing in our elementary buildings does anyone have any questions for me yes yes uh m Matthews what what about I I forget what the upk universal pre kindergarten what what what services do we have if any I forget what you told us in the past yes so within our upks themselves those services are determined by our cpfc um our committee on preschool special education and so services are determined by that um by that csse and students may receive speech therapy they might receive occational therapy but they're not our therapists they're provided by or contracted by an accountant but at least there's there is some support
063for some there are shortages though on some of our students never get preschool special education services before they enter um and that's a barrier because we're finding our kindergarten students that are entering have lower skills than they ever have in the past um and so they really require more support as a whole entering school and if they are eligible for service before they come to kindergarten and they don't receive it they're even further behind does anyone else have a question for me you thank you so much I'm going to stand off to the side stand next to Mr Casey over here that be a good idea security blanket yeah I'm going to talk about Middle School and High School you notice across both of the slides I'm going to discuss you'll see a lot of
064consistency amongst those slides the rationale is because we have five elementary schools we have two middle schools that all feed the high school so we want to make sure that whatever we're doing is consistent across all buildings because we all needs to be consistent in that regard so uh you'll see social emotional learning um making sure that all the students that we see on a daily basis obviously are socially and emotionally ready to learn um it's very important so we try to make sure that that we do that every day behavioral supports reinforcing the bip and the bsp so the behavior intervention plans and the be Behavior Support plans these are tier level support plans that we put in place to make sure our students um are making sure they get all the correct academics
065and and making sure that everything goes well with them consistent processes in each building again it's the consistency across both buildings making sure that we are speaking the same language in both buildings to make sure that everyone is hearing the same consistent message uh tcis therapeutic Crisis Intervention for schools as part of my role I oversee that in the district we again like I said we have five elementary schools we have two middle schools and a high school we're making sure that if a student is in crisis for whatever reason that student is approached with the common language that they are going to hear that they heard in elementary school middle and high school so when a student is in crisis for whatever reason we're using the same language to help engage that student to
066talk them down to making sure that they're back to Baseline so we can educate them appropriately okay and now the high school again social emotional learning one part that we did look at high school evaluation referral form I worked with the uh the three school psychologist at the high school this year um kind of going in the lens of the mtss process that currently exists K4 um bringing it to the high school level because we did see over the last few years there has been an influx of the request for evaluations whether it be 504 or whether it be for special ed and there has never really been a process for that at the high school with the support of um this the three school psychologist we are kind of looking to streamline that a
067little bit at the high school level 912 with the hope of hopefully after getting this off the ground to have that maybe trickle down to the uh eight level because mtss still k6 um again it's a process it's not something that can be done um in a light switch so uh just like anything it's going to take time um but very thankful for the school psychologist at the high school to help us out with that process um Continuum in programs again I I know I've said it a few times I don't mean to be redundant but the reality is redundancy has to has to come in in this respect we want to make sure our Continuum is aligned um we have uh bu obviously programs in all different buildings all of those buildings um lend
068itself again the five elementary schools to the two middle schools and then again in the high school so we want to make sure that our curriculum and our Continuum is aligned and and growing and improving every year the work based and Community opportunities again with the help of Mr Borman um and the pay lab and also with uh dear J loock in the community based program that she overseas Triple C um we have students that are in all self- contained classrooms that again are are moving towards that Triple C to make sure that they have a as Mr Borman um has said to me since beginning this role you know do they have a resume that they can take with them when they do leave the high school um at whatever age they do leave
069um and we want to make sure that we are providing that um that real life experience for them so they can take it on to in the future and then adult transition and Pathways and support again working with Dr raso and Mr Pagano um at the high school to make sure that those folks um are well equipped to go on to secure a job in the future um and have job coaches and whatever they need to make sure that they're going in the right direction um also uh you'll see the picture is is Faith I know a majority of you probably know Faith um she's one of our students at the high school at Mr Dyan uh over uh this past year we did um start Wolfy's cup at the high school it's a pretty
070cool thing um that we did start uh with Amy Bane in her classroom um if any of you are famili hopefully you're familiar with Sarah Norton's room um at the middle level they run a coffee cart they walk around and they push a coffee cart they sell to the uh to the staff and whatnot uh one thing that we did in terms of trying to align the curriculums and and align um the buildings is giving those students that are in those programs at the middle level something to we'll say graduate to when they do get to the high school um and this Wolfie cup does provide that instead of a coffee cart in the middle level it is more of a uh we'll say a kiosk or a little bit of a a coffee shop
071if you will um so when they get to the high school they'll have something like that to look forward to and again it builds on what we're currently doing at the L so um if any of you have any questions I'm just going to stand again behind my bodyguard all right but tcis are all the teachers required to be a part of it um by letter law by the state says yes um so what we're trying to do with the help of of the district cabinet um we're going to try to streamline that a little bit this year um or I should say next year to make sure that everyone has at least the deescalation piece of that um understanding that the the full training um is a time commitment and we're working through um
072the best way to to kind of lay that out for everybody and we're going to work through the district cabinet that kind of help us with that yes Brian does your your last statement up there indicate that there is support for those students who do Transition out of the high school do we follow up with them and some way or other support them beyond our their High School oh I we do um not to put Dr rasell on the spot here but I'm going to put Dr rasell on the spot here um as someone who has been at the high school for a very long time long time and has worked with those transition Services Dr R I'm going to ask you is that something that we do follow um so there's an indicator 14
073New York State um and that's a process where we do follow up actually the the state helps us with that process and following up uh one year after leaving what are students doing are they employed are they in school um so there is there is a mechanism there to follow up sorry hey no worries we're actually doing that this year um that's kind of on a cyclical so we are working on that this year excent yes where you mentioned as at a priority being the continuing programs from the Middle School level and you mentioned earlier everything feeding in you know eventually to the high school are all of the continuums in service that we have at elementary and metal available at the high school yes in one way or another yes sir so uh at
074the high school we have uh we have resource we have co- te uh we have um 81 we have a 61 we have a 91 we have 12 um so I'm just going to jump in we actually don't currently have a 61 um that is something that we are actually going to be adding The Proposal well it's our recommendation to add that um but it's our recommendation to fill that with staff within so it's actually not a a budget request so then we would have full and the coach is 912 n9th grade just n9th grade yes anyone else thank you very much Mr SC the teacher me I have to say congratulations to all the students that spoke that was very impressive uh the nice thing is my peers have kind of talked a little
075bit about some of the things that we've been doing uh in special programs because they all kind of align um earlier in the fall if you remember I talked heavily about upk um it does look like we're going to move forward for next year to do five full day programs in each of the buildings will convert to the half days over into uh into a full day which would be great um again a lot of the special programs uh that I deal with enl uh the numbers are the numbers uh and we know that they've grown uh as I sit here in front of you you know February 25 uh we're about plus 50 from where we were February of 24 so you know every time I ask uh if we're going to need some
076support for teachers it's it's population it's it's enrollment based um and I you know I'd be a Miss by not uh talking about our enl teachers who do an amazing job uh with those kiddos and get them the language proficiency that they need but I'd also be a miss too by by not talking about the co-teachers uh that work with our enl teachers on a daily basis to make sure that they're doing their part too uh to make sure that they're understanding the curriculum so things are good there um we're we're blessed we have some after school programs we have some summer programs for our enl kiddos um so you guys have been gracious and and I think you recognize that so thank you on that um The Colony Community Connection the work-based learning program
077ironically Melissa snuck a picture in to the right today we actually just started a partnership with Market 32 so it was so awesome dear sent that picture yeah dear sent that picture today they they rusted right into work they were making breakfast pizzas and everything so the Partnerships that we've worked on throughout the years they take a little bit um and and they're patient with us and uh it's been great so that continues to be uh Progressive the pay lab I think some of you guys have been to the high school to see the pay lab uh for our our life skill students and Beyond I say I think every student should go through the paay lab uh there's over 360 different activities and jobs uh every time I go in there I'm like yeah
078I I needed that back in high school so uh if you haven't seen it you know I encourage you to to stop in and see that um that's really it I you know I talked so much you know frequently I think everybody's familiar with what we do but any questions for me in general I have a question about yeah so are we going to only have full day now or we going to have half and full day so we are going to have five five hour I don't say full day because that's a Mis yeah exactly so all of our elementary buildings will have a a five hour class okay full day in both ends of the district so Roselle Bill and saddle will will still maintain two half day programs because like like I
079shared with you back in the fall believe it or not some of the parents aren't quite ready to let them go full day and also to it's the wraparound care that we continuously try to to work with opportunities potentially through cyc um but that's just a work in progress so you'd go to your prek that's in your that's that's the wish so the problem is right so we will have five 18 capacity class classs so we still have to do the lottery so depending on where you fall in the lottery we do our best if you're close enough to make sure that you're in your home school that's ultimately the goal for the just the transition it is it still has to be maintained by the lottery option that was a question I email just
080see okay yeah yeah yeah yes I just was wondering if you could speak a little bit to the food and security support as a priority sure so uh having kind of been part of the back program for the district uh We've and and I I have to kind of preface the high school has maintained their own program as as some other their own Elementary buildings so what I've done was I've worked with pre-existing Partners St Claire's and Macedonia Baptist Church Macedonia this year couldn't help us out St Claire stayed with us not all that but they did a little bit extra for us and uh also um Christ Our light Parish just came on right around the brid ideally it would be a great partnership with regional Food Bank um actually Colony Community Connection is
081actually helping deliver now for us from the two parishes but we it's a you know checking balances with all the with all the folks within the buildings to make sure you know we try to get them what they need thank you are we applying for the summer opportunity that was just posted for different Community entities to partner with State Ed for that application the application process for summer yes so honest with you I have not yes we are in the process of applying our hope is that we'll be able to establish it at St Creek this summer and then all students uh can receive meals this summer still work in progress to get final approval I just had a comment we earlier today we saw video our Communications teams working on about the colony connection
082and having had the opportunity to go there and see that program in person uh the video brought here to my ey it was fantastic uh what you done over there a work over there is fantastic and I know kudos to you for building that I think it's great it's every bit of teamwork and it's been awesome to be part of that's for sure what Mrs lock and her staff does is those are the the true uh true workhorses for sure I think it's fantastic well it's you got to remember it's it starts with you guys giving us the opportunity to do that and that came out of Co that was actually a positive that came out of Co because we knew we had to do something while we still had our students so um yeah
083so thank you thank you thank you very much M you bring over to ja yeah you don't want to drive any wait me thank you Mr pleasure you've done a great job I will um so um the the student sport services department has had some requests this fall or this this for next fall um a lot of this is enrollment based which is the enl teacher um which I think that Mr bman talks about regularly is we have had increases we do have students age out but we still see that that number growing as student gain their proficiency so um enrollment dependent we want to keep that um budgeted enl teacher and as I give you these numbers um they include salary and benefits so as we look at those um and I did put
084at the bottom what our current year budget is for special ed and enl just so you can keep and then um next week we'll propose all the big numbers together for everybody um but the um 1.0 upk teacher interventionist is a request from Mr bardman as well as the um mtss and special ed Department in regards to having a a teacher that can help our upk teachers and might be able to speak to it better than Mr this is the gap that was just discussed CPS it's really a responsibility of the county but the county is not able to always hire staff to provide those Services students are on waiting list so therefore our our kids go from three and four- year olds into our prek program without those services from being a waiting list
085so that the thought of it is that if we could hire a staff member uh then we may be able to make up some of that Gap um you could potentially have some Revenue coming back from the county the the challenge with that is then once you start taking on that the the needs are going to grow and the countyy is going to relinquish it to us it's not a dollar Ford dooll amount uh the county pays a lot less than we do for speech teachers and and OT and things like that so it's it's working with County and their partnership to make sure that our students are getting those services but this is an ask to potentially help the level the playing field a little bit as we put all those priorities together and
086we looked at the the total budget we wanted to make sure the board knew of that ask um as as as it stands into so it's not adding 18 more belly buttons to upk it would be adding a upk teacher for those intervention strategies uh to provide support so um we also have the ask for a um school psychologist and this would provide full-time enl support for our growing needs in that um Department we transition Dr Chong who Melissa mentioned earlier to focus on support full-time and fact fill her role at lill um the next one is our speech language pathologist that could be our assisted technology specialist we have one more year on our contract so we will not have um some it's it's a hard position to our hard contract to um take
087on so we're hoping that um we're looking at taking that internally and somebody that can help with technolog devices for communication it's usually a speech language pathologist but our speech language Pathologists are very busy doing their work so finding someone that could help with that in the future um and grow that position is an m at this point um and then we do offer music therapy um it has been a great program for our students and could cancel our current contract um and and we brought this on actually with some of the the funds from Co which was another positive out of that which is that we were able to offer music therapy to give the students a little bit of uh different opportunity during the day um but by canceling the outside contract we
088would be able to bring this inside and it would be kind of a budget neutral between um codes basically so those are our um proposed budget changes right now all of this plays into the larger conversation that we have in the first draft budget in our instructional budget um in a couple weeks and next week is our budget Workshop so this is the As for the um student Support Services um and then we have our budget priorities overall um which will bring us to where we decide what what items we can fit in within our um tax levy our foundation date increases and then our our whole budget for for the 2526 so our budget priorities overall and on top of all of the ones that our um supervisors brought to you today um and
089this encompasses the things that they talked about um academic equity and opportunities for all students um our structure and sustainability program and that is the continuity program that we have and are trying to build through um the the all all buildings so bringing that 61 up to the high school as those students age up is important important um and then strengthening the high school Pathways is something that we want to make sure and that also aligns with the blue ribbon commission or whatever we're calling it at any point um but that aligns with we're we're on our way um we're we're well on our way for that so continuing that that work at the high school um and we'll talk about a lot of those program enhancements next week with our um instructional budget and
090then as we continue um continuing to enhance our facilities I appreciate that everybody brought up the the turfield at the complex can't wait for the bleachers and the Press Box to be open concession stand all that hasn't shipped yet by the way oh yes he'll be here soon um but the bleachers are up they're going in um so as we continue with all of our enhancements and the class rooms that we're going to have this summer at the high school at a Shaker Road um is just continuing that momentum for all of our students and our staff um so that's a big priority and that that will play into our budget discussions as well as we get into the first draft um our timeline so I'm clicking here like I always do but it's up
091here us I project from my laptop um so tonight we have our our budget discussion on special education and the great work that our student Support Services team did does um next week we have our budget Workshop then we'll discuss at slead the focus of um instruction and our first draft on March 11th um we have our second draft in community budget Forum on April 8th at Shaker Road and then um we'll have a a budget Workshop if needed after that second draft um the the Boe meeting on um April 23rd will be our final presentation adoption as well as approval of the property tax report card and on May 6 we'll have our um public hearing back again here at Saddlewood next door and then we have our budget vote and Board elections on
092May 20th and then we certify on May 20th um and that is all I have for quick question music therapist two10 is that at for all five elementary schools you probably we actually um currently provide music therapy in all of our self-contained classrooms so our sixes nines um and twelves so that would be at Forest Park Saddlewood Lisha Hill Sand Creek in high school and it's an addition to music so this is actually an additional music opportunity um that incorporates movement and um there's a lot of things that kind of go into it and our students and our staff have really enjoyed that um opportunity that we've been able to do the last few years but you as you said it's been private contract before so now we're thinking we might hire somebody is that
093is that a easy thing to do um so I I think it would be looking at is there any anybody that we have that may have that skill set is I would think would be a great possibility okay we're going to look internally on schedules whether that is just a national FTE or an overage but we think that providing the flexibility of having it be our staff member will allow for an easier schedule across the time right now you're beholding to the contract times that person has to leave to go to another District so there's not a lot of flexibility to say can I stay an extra 15 minutes on this particular day a question I was curious about um in the services that the upk the students aren't getting because the county is backed
094up and they're on the wait list are you noticing more that it's like itinerant services with PT and speech or is it more like the sort of the academic intervention that's necessary that is more headed for perhaps like a learning disability down like the road so it's um in preschool they actually have um a self-contained which would be more like our sixes or nines um and then um the the other would be more integrated it's actually the more intensive self-contained um programs and then itinerant it's also um there's a difference between the service and the evaluator two different things and both have extensive weight lists so thank you so much integrated programs more successful got it thank you I'm glad to see the music therapy on there someone who's had a chance to firsthand witness
095that in one of the classrooms it's pretty awesome the kids love it and they have a really good time when if they sing they dance I sing some songs video yeah I apologize to when you sing Let It Go I'm sorry anyone else thank you very much jacine thank you to our staff you are very very special to us I'm sorry we went we went over your timing was terrible that's all right okay agenda item number nine reports and recommendations for Action this goes from letter A to letter g Dr Perry is there anything you'd like to address the Health and Welfare contracts are pretty standard we provide nursing services for the private schools that are within our Geographic boundaries these are the school districts that make up the 8009 students that servicing we then
096back build them as part of that agreement and number one number two is very similar uh but we're working with n un Central School District and then number three is working with bethon same process whether it's our students attending private schools within their District or their students attending private schools within our Geographics any questions any comments hearing none I will take a motion Miss gigello second Mr keen on the motion made by Miss gigello seconded by Mr Kean that the above stated reports and recomendations be approved all in favor any opposed motion carries 90 agenda item number 10 Personnel instruction this goes from Pages 11 to 14 and covers letters a through G Mr Rob just quickly to go in order with a that is not an additional Staffing um addition that is we had
097a resignation agenda back this position is being filled temporarily based on the timing of the Year and that individual on this agenda so want to point that out we're not adding staff at this point uh we do have two retirements on here um quick math Mr Casey would be about 60 years of service just to this District um but but if you look if you look at the work that Mr Pace did in previous districts is probably closer to 70 year more years of service to education which is really commendable to these two staff members I was able to work closely with them at the high school for a number of years and I just really appreciate them as human beings uh they work hard as administrators and they're just good people so I wish
