I'm the chair. >> Arie Robin, member. >> Kimick, member. >> Mandy Rosen, member. >> Marina, findings director. >> Gary Roberts, interim superintendent. I'm David Kegley. I'm the executive assistant for the superintendent school board. I'm going to start with my update on our school. We are now in the Milan Press building fully down where the district offices students very excited and new loud. We are very excited to have more classrooms and more
004room. Over the past few weeks, the students and staff at Destinations Academy have been forming tight bonds and close relationships. Due to the smaller classroom sizes, it was made possible for both of our language and composition classes to read a total of 30 books within the month of October. Um, we only have about 20 students involved in those language classes. So, that's about two books per student, which was a big goal for us. We were not expecting to read that many books. We had the honor of having a guest teacher, Dr. Jennifer McKenzie who took over our steam classes, digital media and language classes because we had to have Mr. Jones take a break for the first quarter due to an accident. She left us last Thursday with this quote. Um, in my 22 22
005years as an educator, I have never experienced a school with such a strong community as destinations. It has been an absolute joy to work and learn from Dr. with Kayla Crook these past few months as she has left my personal superwoman as well. It was a true pleasure to have one of his clear that she too reciprocated the feelings of comfort and support within our school. Um our leadership class has been working hard to maintain such a relationship within our Milner Press community and our community in East County. So far, the leadership class has joined the charity program to do trick-or-treating as well as set up the Christmas tree and the art project. Um, so that way we can get our student tags up and get Christmas gifts for those students. We truly value having
006the strong community art destinations academy and the nonpress education center as a whole. So, the leadership class has taken up the opportunity of reading books to the preschoolers and little parents preschool. They have done it for about two weeks now. Um, they also set up a trick-or-treating event on Hallmoon during school hours where all of our littles got to walk down to the high school to trickor treat every office and classroom. It was a lot of fun. I got to walk with my friends. The Friday project seminar class have been making great strides in our curriculum with the few weeks that we have had. The native studies class has been doing a book study on the book an indigenous people's history of the United States for young people written by Roxan Dunar Ortiz and adopted
007by Sha Mendoza and Debbie Lewis. The book looks at American history through an indigenous perspective. It helps to understand what really happened to native peoples. How colonization force relocation and both truly changed lives but also how indigenous communities have shown incredible strength survival and resilience. As they have read, the group talked about how history is told, who tells it, and why indigenous causes are so important, and understanding the full story of our country. In order to connect to what the classes learned through their readings, they engaged in hand-on projects like learning the history and making Ry that was created during hardships and has become a symbol of surv survival, identity, and community. They also made posters about their own tribe or a tribe of their choosing. They researched things like traditional homelands, language, and culture,
008as well as how the how the tribe has continued to exist and thrive even today. This project was able to show that students that in show the students that indigenous history isn't just something from the past, but that indigenous history is living, evolving, and carrying immeasurable amounts of strength. These projects helped the students to learn that history is more than dates and events. It's people's stories and the land we share. It reminded all of the students that learning about indigenous perspectives helps everyone build a deeper understanding and respect for communities that are still here and still making a difference. Our science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics for steam class has been able to visit the local public library along with the Oregon Coast Music Store located in Empire to further explore and understand what steam
009as a program entails. On the weeks that they didn't take these trips, the class was assigned weekly build challenges that are focused on based focused and based off of a certain engineering design process where they are provided a situation that has a flaw. They are told to work together in a team to identify the problem, brainstorm a solution, and then create the solution. Our foods and nutrition class has spent a lot of time cleaning and preparing the kitchen in order to cook. This process allowed students to learn how to properly clean a kitchen in order to use it in a safe way to cook. The first four weeks of this class contains cleaning, obtaining a hammer's card, and learning knife skills. The class I graduated into learning different recipes and cooking techniques making kitchen staples
010like chicken soup, apple cinnamon roll cake, brown sugar ice cream, and apple cider. The movement class which is focused on physical movement and the appreciation of nature around us has been able to go on seven hikes this school year. They have gone to the north lake Marie Simpson reef cape argo John Dan back dunes and the whole lake hiking trails. Our water shed class has been working on our school garden preparing it for our winter planting season. Along with basic garden maintenance, we have had the opportunity to go to the shore acre gardens and the real marsh hiking trails to go bird watching with an expert. The watershed class donates all of our extra weight to the Bay Public Library for community members to appreciate and enjoy. Um, as our active community service, it has
011been an absolute pleasure to have the honor of sharing this information with you all. I hope that this school year continues to grow in advance. We would like to invite all of the members on the board to the Destinations Academy winter time celebration. It is to be held on Thursday, December 18th at 11:30 in the morning in the middle of >> very Thank you. >> 11:30 or 11 >> 11:30 on December 18th. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you, Misty. It's uh really been fun to come up to Destinations this year and see not just a beautiful building that's been remodeled, but also the community that you guys have built there. And u I've spent several days up there visiting and um every time I come away with a smile on my face, not just from
012the littles at the little pirates, but also seeing the uh seeing all the the work that you guys are doing there in destinations in your classes. I got to watch some of the sticker making that goes on with a couple of students and uh um and then I spent some time in writing class watching Dr. McKenzie work with you guys on writing. So, lots of great stuff. >> Are there any questions? >> What do you plan to do after graduation? You're a senior this year. I've been um attending college for an associate. It's wonderful. Yeah, I think you're gonna do great. >> Now, you're not required to stay, but you're welcome to stay if you'd like. >> Okay. Or you can leave whenever you want.

And and the first one that you see in front of you is h is uh permission to take three of our high school students to this year's WHIB event in Seattle. And uh this is Nico Tucker. She was able to go last year and she's been accepted again to go this year along with I wrote this down so I wouldn't forget Britney Herrera and Danica Gavin. Nico plays Euphodium, Britney plays alto saxs and Danica plays percussion. And I asked Nico to come and tell you about her experience there last year. >> Hi everybody. So, Wibik is this really cool event where um it's basically it's a western
014honor band located in Seattle and it's all high school students. So, you have to audition to get in and the auditions are pretty vigorous. I mean, not too hard. But last year I got in as a freshman which was impressive. Basically, you go up there for four days. You have rehearsals for three of the days, like two hour rehearsals and then break and then two hour rehearsals, so like six hours a day. And then you you get to explore the city and, you know, go to restaurants. We go to a different restaurant every night and go to the mall and stuff. And I got to meet a lot of new people like famous band directors and stuff. And I actually uh met my one of my best friends up there and she's going to um
015Idaho University to be a music director, right? Learn how to be a music director. But bunch of great honor students, honor band people, very good band. Um this year, um I actually got accepted into the highest band. So it's that's exciting.

So, >> and also um also a lot of two other people like Britney and Danny have gotten accepted which is fun. So, there'll be more people than just me going and also my friends at Coke, some of them also got in so I'll be able to travel with them. So >>

Um >> do they pick the piece of music for you? >> So we have the rehearsals each with a different band director. Um each song is conducted by a different conductor and we get to meet all of them and then there's this big concert at the end with all the bands. So, >> have they picked a piece of music for this? >> Yeah, each band has a different set of music. >> And what is what is yours? Do you know? >> Uh, it's a lot of songs. >> Like like do you do you know any I mean >> um >> it's it's not like it's it's not famous music. It's >> Is it classical

All right. >> I could name some, but you wouldn't know what they were. >> So, they could be new pieces that they've written. >> You never know what we might know. >> We know things. >> That's cool. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Congratulations again. >> Uh, it's euphonium. It's like a mini tuba. >> Is it recorded? >> Uh, yeah. The audition is recorded >> so we could get a chance to listen. >> Well, the concerts are recorded and you get a recording of that. >> Yeah. To hear it. >> Congratulations. Amazing opportunity. >> Yeah. >> Mr. Cruz, what did you say the dates were for the event? >> Um, this happens uh November 21st

We either we always share band in Northbend. this year u one of her friends from Cook is going to is is set up to be rooming with our three from Marshville. So we we kind of work together with the other schools that way. >> Awesome. Great. I would so move to approve the outofstate travel request for Mr. Cruz and his ban students to attend the >> WIBC WBC. International Band Clinic. >> Is there a second? >> I would second that wholeheartedly. >> It's been moved and seconded that we approve the out ofstate travel request for the Western International Band Clinic and three of our students. Derek, >> is this a time for questions or are we voting? >>
019Voting. I'm sorry. I was repeating what? >> Yeah, I'm say yes. Mie. Hi. Army. >> Hi. >> Kim. >> Hi. >> And chair votes. Yes, too. >> I did include the instructor. >> Yes. >> You said the >> Did you have a second one? >> I do have a second ask. >> Okay. >> I'm I'm asking you if it is uh if I if I can pursue the opportunity to take our entire high school band >> to Hawaii. >> What? next next year, December 7th of uh of the 26 to uh the Pearl Harbor Day parade. It it's the 85th anniversary of that infamous day and it's also the 250th anniversary of our nation and uh it happens. It's a one a oneanddone opportunity. It's expensive and I just like to pursue that that opportunity
020if I can find enough money to help the kids get there. And so I I need to get out there and start knocking on some doors and seeing what I can come up with. But I don't want to do that without your permission to pursue the idea. >> Is this something that the board needs to Well, >> I know it's I know it's an out of state. now stay but I I don't want to start pursuing that with your knowledge >> say no we don't want our kids it's going >> and I could have more details as we we go on but we're talking a year and a half from now >> I was say this sounds like a real superintendent opportunity >> I I'll be a chaperon >> this is for a marching band
021right >> yeah it's a parade and we would take all our high all of our high schoolers and >> how many kids Um, >> how many kids are you hoping? >> Well, I I I was looking at that today and and it'd be between 40 to 60 kids depending. We might need to include our eighth graders in marching. I depending on instrumentation, right? >> It's all kind of loose right now. >> I love the idea. I would like to make a motion to approve your request to start looking into this out of state travel and how you're going to fund it, >> right? to go to Hawaii. >> What an opportunity for our kids. >> It's a one-time deal. I think um seeing Pearl Harbor >> Oh, yes. >> something they ought to do. >>
022Yes, absolutely. >> I'll second that. >> Thank you. It's been moved and seconded that we approve Mr. Cruz's request to begin um the investigation into the possibility of our students participating in the Pearl Harbor Day parade next year on December 7. >> Um quick discussion, a quick point. Um where else has because I don't know I'm a new board member. Has our marching band done their thing? And will they uh have an opportunity? That sounds like a pretty high um a pretty big deal. And so are there going to be some opportunities for them to work up to an event like that so that they >> Oh, definitely. you know, besides the next prey that that we'll probably do until the spring, but I would definitely seek some help from outside to to bring them
023up to snuff a little more for this season. >> And I Yeah, and I don't actually mean up to snuff. I just mean um you know, uh what do I mean? Exposure. >> Other places to perform. other places to perform that, you know, like do they go other places in the state of Oregon where it's an it's not a it's not a recognizable field and you're not sure where you are and you have to pay attention and >> um you don't cry and >> as far as a marching band, we haven't done a lot in the last few years. We just kind of found our way back to that last year and uh like I say, the Florence parade is the next one currently planned. >> Florence, great. And then you guys also did the
024very fun festival parade this year. >> We did that this year. Yes. >> Y >> um sometimes there's other parades that makes sense, >> but right now that's the only one I'm aware of that that fits our schedule. >> Yeah, I know it's I know it's a lot. I know it's tough. I'm just thinking about other ways to prepare for that amazing experience and a whole different >> I I can definitely knowing that they're a marching band and keeping that in mind. Could they still do a performance like at Marshfield >> for the public? So before they go >> they do that all the time. >> Oh then >> I mean we do that football games football games we we we get in the M. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. >> Okay. >> Yeah.
025So I was just asking about sort of scaffolding. >> Right. Right. >> Always something to do. >> Yeah. Always something to do and not enough time. So go ahead with your vote. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Abstensions. Motion passes. >> Very exciting. >> And Mr. Cruz, before you step away, um just to give uh our new board members a little perspective, um you know, when you when you came back from your third retirement or second, which which it was. >> I retired in 16. >> Okay. Um how many kids did we have in our marching band when you came back that first year? >> We had nine. >> Nine. And how many do we have currently right now? >> Somewhere in the high 50s. >> All right. Awesome. >>
026So that's where we that's where we've come. And when I first came back to Kuz Bay, we um didn't have enough kids to make the M during the pregame of football. >> It was just kind of an L. >> It was. >> Yeah. And now it's amazing to see where we've where we've come since you came back. And um I appreciate when I was at Miloma how much you u donated time and energy to our our music program at Miloma doing the sixth grade band and coming in and I think we're we're starting to see we're not starting to we're seeing all the the fruits of that labor and it's really appreciated. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Everything you've done for gooseb Thank you very much. The next thing on our agenda is just
027for your information. It's the application of the Lighthouse School um for continuation of our contract with them. Um this is the issue that needs a public hearing and so that is what has been scheduled. I think we're looking at potentially doing Friday >> Friday in the middle of the day. >> Oh, okay. Would that work Friday at noon for >> This coming Friday. Not avail. I'm not available. >> Noon with me. >> I thought it was scheduled already, wasn't it? >> Wasn't already like 11. >> No. No. >> So that's the the committee to discuss this. But we need to hold a public hearing after we have received this letter. Um, so I I found out today actually that there's a timeline associated with when we need to have that hearing and so time is
028of the essence. So we would like to as soon as possible. The reason that uh that Friday seemed like an optimal day is obviously tomorrow is a holiday >> but we want to also provide enough time for the community to make arrangements if they'd like to provide public comment on this. Um, and also since it is not a a meeting where you will be taking any votes. It is simply just to allow the community that time really. Um, I'm not as concerned as I normally would be about having every board member there just a quorum. Uh, because you'll have 30 days after that to make a decision and so I will get the recording out to you as soon as possible. you'll be able to get that insight and since no vote is taking place.
029Um I'm not as concerned about having not everyone there >> and is this >> that makes sense. >> Yes. Thank you. Um is this going to be a virtual board meeting? >> Yes, that's the plan. >> Okay. Thank you. But you need a quorum. Um >> you need a quorum and I can do it. >> So that's three. >> You're probably in surgery. >> Didn't you take Fridays up? Yeah. Um, so I mean I'm Is it this Friday that we have? >> Yes. >> Yeah. So I mean if we're doing it at noon >> Yeah. I'll be I'll be I'll be in this building and available at >> So what time? >> Noon. >> Okay. Perfect. >> Friday. And will light lighthouse will be at this meeting or do they not have to come? It's
030just for the public. >> It's just a public hearing. So >> So anybody that signs up, >> right? >> So they may be present. >> And does it have to be open for so long? How long does it need to be open for for a public meeting? Because some of them have time. >> Yeah, I didn't see that in my cursory look at the OS, but I'll I'll confirm that by Friday and I'll make sure everyone's aware. Um, but I would I would expect if there's no one signed up. >> Um, maybe leave it open for 15 minutes. 15 minutes. >> One of the things that we should probably do uh as a courtesy to the lighthouse parents and lighthouse uh administration is after the this meeting send an email to their principal or you
031know one of the administrators and say we've opened up this time if people in your community want to come speak on behalf of your school. >> Oh absolutely I have that on my doc. Okay, great. >> Their business manager is off. >> That's not But yeah, I will follow up with an email to their administrative team and hopefully they can send that out to their parents as well. >> Great. >> Okay. Next on our agenda is public in Do you know if we had any >> We did not have any public input. >> I think so. Do we have any public that wants to address us? Seeing none. >> Ms. Landram OCA B business. >> Don't sound weird. Just FYI >> because I go I Brig. >> And then the kids called me Miss Bri
032in preschool. So it just kind of carried over when I came into the um school district. >> Good evening. Okay, >> Diana is gone. >> Call her. >> I knew that. >> I was gonna sing it to her, but she >> she's not here. I was >> And you noticed she's online. >> Oh, is she? >> Yes. >> Happy birthday, Diane. >> No, Terry. Terry's online. Oh. Oh, I was like I did not see >> Oh, >> I was confusion on a Monday. Um, just a few OCDA updates. I don't really have much for you guys. Uh, just some collaboration with the school district and our classified members and OSDA for reclassification. uh reclassification is kind of going through our needs and uh student support services have just really changed. Um for example, you know,
03320 years ago, we didn't use Chromebooks in the classroom or we didn't have different these hybrid models or different support systems. And so we are using our new language for reclassification systems to uh look at those job descriptions and um come up with better job descriptions, updating them to match current times needs and matching what people are doing in their work. Um, and so that's really exciting to to get that language up and going and see how it works in real life because we all know language can sound great on uh paper and then when you start practicing it you find other things. Um, another uh thing that we've been collaborating with just kind of having some conversations but don't really know how to solve the problem um is just the shortage of subs in
034our district. And then it's kind of compounded within the classified staff member because many of our members are also um emergency licensed to step in for certified staff. >> Um and so then those emergency license are in an emergency. So then it's really short turnaround to try and get those positions filled. Um and so just kind of looking at that with the district in partnership of of how can we support um these absences when they need to happen. Um and making sure that we protect our members rights of their absence and the reason why, but also uh making sure that we're also supporting the district and most importantly the students that we serve during the day. And then um Terry um as many of you guys know Terry Jones has worked in our school district
035and she retired officially on October 31st. And I just felt like I mean you guys saw her all the time in here. But let's let's just take a moment and hold space for Terry um at this board meeting this month. We are honored to celebrate Terry Jones, a truly remarkable classified staff member whose dedication, advocacy, and heart have made a lasting impact both locally and across the state and sometimes even nationally. Terry has spent years championing the power of education and libraries, recognizing that access to books and learning opportunities can change lives. Her passion has extended far beyond the walls of our schools. She has worked tirelessly at the local and state level representing classified staff with integrity, courage, and kindness. Whether advocating for Senate bills that strengthen public education or ensuring that every student
036has access to books, Terry's work has uplifted countless students and families. Many of us know her best through her Wednesdays in the summer program. I don't actually know the title of it, but how I met Terry was before I even had a child in the district is we would go to the Madison school on Wednesdays would have the library and their community garden open during the summer during the time that lunch was being served. So, you got to go and have lunch and you could go in the library and you always walked away with a a free book and it started with my son uh before I even worked for the district. we utilized that program and carried on uh with my daughter and it was great because you were always in there, you always
037got a book, you were welcomed with a smile and it just created a real sense of community in that area and so having that uh passion you know to make sure that that library was open for students um I think is a legacy that Terry is definitely known for. Um she joyfully puts free books into kids hands sparking a love of reading that will last a lifetime. Her advocacy for libraries has ensured that they remain a cornerstone of learning and community connection, places where imagination thrives and all are welcome. But beyond her professional achievements, Terry is the kind of person who makes everyone feel like a friend. Her laughter, compassion, and optimism bring light to every room she enters. She listens deeply, encourages others, and always finds a way to bring people together. As Terry
038embarks on her well-deserved retirement, we want her to know how deeply she will be missed. Her legacy of advocacy, friendship, and love for students will continue to ripple through our schools and communities for years to come. So, thank you, Terry, for your years of service, your leadership, and your unwavering belief in the power of education and kindness. You have truly made a difference, and you will always be a part of our union family and school district family. Um, if it if it wasn't for Terry, I probably wouldn't be in this position. >> Oh my god. Did you hear from my house? >> Terry Terry got me involved in the union. Um I would like to say it was a ball and hold. Um I I've always been a little bit of an advocate, but Terry,
039you really got me involved. uh she encouraged me to go to like the legisl legislative that's not a word I could say uh education days which is what that picture is of us taken when we went to go and speak to our representatives at the state level >> um in support of bills that OCA was also supporting and just kind of getting into this role uh I hope you know I'm still calling you because uh Rogers rules I I don't even know if it's Rogers rules or Robert's rules but I But I need constant reminders of okay, what do I sing next? Uh, and so just knowing that we have this support system and honestly, Terry, if it hadn't been you and Cruise Schools, I don't even know uh what shape our union would be
040in because you always you were the one that kind of held it together. So hopefully uh those of that of us that are involved now can can do you proud and you don't have to worry about OSDA crimes. which a little bit of a inside joke when we went to conference because they handed out beanies and then we were walking around in Salem with beanies on and I told them it looked like we were getting ready to commit correct >> in RCA hat. So, thanks for coming down. >> You just ran from your house. >> That's the kind of commitment she did. >> Yes. >> I I wasn't sure if we'd see you at a board a board meeting again. is well Amal emailed you and said what's the link and I'm like oh my

So then I don't have to fill that when I do use you as a resource. Then um do you guys have any questions or comments? >> I just like to say thank you.

I got an education in my 40s when I joined the staff. It has been phenomenal. I I had administrators that really allowed me to succeed and encouraged me and you know that made all the difference and the staff as well. It was it was magical and a lot of work but the kind of work that energizes you. >> Magic takes a lot of work. >> It does. No, you're still at Madison till the end of the year or you No, she's
045gone. >> You're actually gone. Gone. October. So, how's the door? >> Who's at Madison now? >> Well, Alison is the person who is stepped into my place and I will be I get to see her on Wednesday. I left I left her alone for a whole week and I get to see her on Wednesday so that we could >> There wasn't a lot of training that I was able to do because I was still doing my job. So, I'm I'm not even used to that. That's my school. So, I got to go over there and check things out. Now, I was my Usually people retire on the things retire they work through the year. >> Yeah. Well, my plan was 67, but then my kids had grandkids. >> Okay. So, >> any more questions? >>
046No. I I also want to I know this isn't OSBA per se, but I do also want to bring awareness to uh November. It's Native American Heritage Month. I do want to recognize that we have two out of the nine federally recognized tribes here in Oregon right here in our local area. Um and so, you know, I think a lot of you guys have heard me kind of say that over and over again. So we have the Copwell Indian hive and we also have the consider the tribes of Kora and Citus Indians and we are living and working within their ancestrial homelands and I just want to recognize that and uh make sure that I bring awareness whenever I can when I get in front of people. >> I do appreciate your emails with the
047resources and letting us know. Yeah, I didn't know that. I like when you use the everyone it was. >> Yes. >> Oh, I appreciated that. That was great for us as board members. >> And the Cow Creek helped us at Madison and putting in the playground. >> Oh, that's right. Oh, >> yeah. We technically are within their within their like whose county is right >> like in the building over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, >> but it is uh like we also have to consult with them with our title one for the tribal consultation toolkit and things like that. Um so yeah, thanks honey. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you, Bri. Thank you, Terry. >> Okay, Glenn is not able to come tonight, so we will not be having an update on CBEA this week. Um so
048that puts us in Morina's grasp. >> Hi, thank you. Um, tonight will be pretty quick and purely informational for you to review. Um, our system has been down. I've been trying to pull it up every about two hours since Thursday afternoon when it crashed. I finally got to David at three. So, I didn't have a ton of time to do analysis on our financials, but um maybe I'll send out a little email to all of you once I have chance to do that. First, I've presented the bank or the check register for October. Um there there's not anything significant. You'll note that there is a check written out to me and I want to call that out. Uh I went to the OS or OSBL conference last Monday up in Lincoln City. So as my
049uh travel reimbursement and then the other significant expenditure is on the last page um to the Ashlin family YMCA. Uh we don't typically spend about $45,000 to other local YMCA's. That was our cost for the outdoor school. So Kevin Guthrie has worked out a great deal with this uh camp. I believe it's a camp where they there's some cuts to outdoor school and they effectively said, "You get your kids here and we'll charge you what we what you can." And so we are really thankful for that deal, but that is our rather significant payment outside of our normal expenditures for the month of October. >> Ask two questions. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Um, one of the uh I noticed that there was uh almost $10,000 to the casino resort. >> I was wondering what uh
050what that expense was. >> Hall of Fame. >> Oh, it's our it's our food the cost for the Hall of Fame thing. But it was >> I'm assuming. >> Yes. Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say is we had Hall of Fame this week or this month as well as five or six large conferences. The travels went out for that and so >> we weren't we weren't trying to solve any budget issues. >> It just it just struck me as odd. Makes sense. Thank you. And then the other question I had was about um the almost $200,000 that went to or you know $194,000 to Lighthouse Charter School. >> How does that work? So that is the state school fund pass through. Uh Kspace school districts receives one payment from OD every month
051and then we issue out um a check to lighthouse because they have a separate accounting process and system and then we also do a journal entry to source them. That's why you don't see a resourcing classroom. I just move it over in a journal entry. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Cool. Thank you. >> Yeah, of course. Thank you. I appreciate your reviewing. And then next, I believe I have enrollment. Is that what it says? >> My agenda. Every time I click something, >> Financials. Okay. So, these are the financials that I was able to pull at 400 pm or 3M. >> Um, I'll go ahead and analyze and review tomorrow and send out an email to the board and admin so that I have a chance to review those and make note of anything significant.
052Um, and then lastly is November 1 enrollment. It's uh pretty boring. Thankfully, we had a couple students move from building to building, but we had no variation of greater than two at any building. Two, we had two and then I guess we did have eight from the high school, but it's because they're double counted online and AYA, so kids are moving to those buildings. Um, but our ADM is actually the same as last month, which is brand new. Uh I did at that conference work with some local sized districts and similar sized districts and they've given me um some ideas of new reports to be submitting to you guys moving forward. And so starting next month you'll be getting an analysis of our uh ADM to your date and then also a breakout of all
053of our special revenue funds. So, you get one um because we budget by major fund. You get one fund special revenues. Starting next month, I'm going to be presenting all of our individual frames. >> Um so, I'm I'm building that template. I tried to get it out, but with the system crashing, it was kind of impossible. Uh but you'll begin to see like the SIA report monthly and the radio report monthly as well as student body accounts. Um, so just be aware those things will be coming and there will probably be lots of questions and I'm happy to meet with anyone who would like to ahead of that or um after the fact once you see all those because it'll be a lot of data all at once. Transparency um I think the more we
054can increase that the better and so it was really helpful to a conference and we get some good feedback from them. Does anyone have any questions? Thank you guys. Thank you. >> Okay, I think that takes us to here. >> I guess it does. Welcome everybody. Let's make sure. Hey, we're working. All right. So, uh, want to start off our, uh, November board report tonight with a thank you to our veterans, uh, those that have served our country. I was able to attend the Veterans Day assemblies at Milacoma to start the day and then hustled over to Sunset to see the tail end of theirs. Um, it was great. I got to have kind of breakfast time to visit with the veterans and then Sunset follows their their assembly with a gathering for veterans. So,
055I got to to visit with lots of folks today and it was a great experience. Kudos to uh the teachers and admin uh in both of those buildings for the event that they put on uh today. Really, really a positive thing. Um want to talk uh tonight about a couple things. Uh the first one is our parent community survey um that we went that went out in the beginning middleish of October. We left it open for about four weeks, three to four weeks and closed it down. Um it's a there's a lot of data in here tonight and I did some quantitative data and some qualitative data to kind of go over um when we get to the qualitative it's going to look a little bit like holy smokes but we're not going to dive
056in and read it word for word and we'd be here all night and I know Kim does not want that to be here all night but we had 73 responses which um I wish we had more but I really think as we become a district that values more and more and gets more and more parent feedback we're going to see those numbers go We haven't done a lot of family and parent surveys about the district in the in in the last few years postco we haven't and so um again I think as we do more and more of those we're going to start to see more return on on on those inquiries. Um but uh as you can see in looking at um those I need to jump back a slide. I apologize. As you
057can see 83 82% of the people that responded were immediate family of a KSB student and then the remaining 17 18% were community members that didn't have a student in in Kousbay schools. Uh looking at if you have a student what building did they attend? Lots of participation uh out of Milikova and out of the high school. Uh and then it kind of tails down to the junior high, sunset, Madison and those areas. Little pirates. Uh Kuz Bay online um had just a few recipients and we didn't have any parent or community feedback from folks that represented destinations. Something for us to work on. >> Uh how would you describe overall the direction of the school district right now? Uh 46%ish of the people said positive. Uh we had another 20 um excuse me 12%
05812 and a half% said very positive. Then 46% said positive. About 21% said neutral. Uh close to 17% needs improving. And then that remaining slice said that things are are not going well for us. Um of the the feedback we had of of um some of the families you could you could um some of the situations that have popped up early in the school year were evident with people that voiced uh things are going great. I you know parents calling me to say, "Hey, I really want to talk about this and tell you how great you guys are doing." And then a couple people that called me to tell me how poor things were going also back that up in the survey with their comments. So, but overall there's a lot of positives there. So,
059what is Kuzbay doing? Well, as I switch mine so I can read it a little bit better. Um, just looking at the kind of highlighted areas, student support, care and well-being, caring, dedicated staff, uh, inclusion, seal and safe environments for students. Um, and we have programs that are meeting individual needs. destinations was was talked about meals and our interventions. Uh academic opportunities and rigor AP and dual uh credit accelerated options for students, high expectations and challenging academics. Uh communications and transparency. We had uh families that said that communication with families and community was a positive. Uh transparent responsive leadership uh data sharing and goal setting was a positive. Uh innovation improvement, outside the box thinking, continuous improvement. uh technology and testing tools, uh teacher and staff quality. We have caring, hardworking teachers, strong elementary leadership
060and literacy efforts, and we have committed uh teachers and staff, and then extracurriculars. People love our our sports programs, our music, uh our technology, and the club options that we have for our students here at Cous Schools. >> Were these ones with the icons headings that you asked for write in on? >> Uh no. So, the way I came up, and thank you, Katie, for bringing this up. I took all of the comments and ran them through uh some AI to help me get the common themes. So, you know, you put them in there and say, "Hey, can you take these comments and give me the six most common themes?" And then I went through and highlighted those just so I wouldn't read all of them. I highlighted kind of the the items within the
061themes, the sub themes to kind of have something as we're going through that I can say, "Hey, these are the things that stuck out." Does that make sense? >> No, it makes total sense. But I just want to also sort of just note that these are not these don't have quotation marks like these aren't the actual >> 100%. These are not Yeah, these are not quotes. These are just themes that came up that are comp. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Um how effective is the district at keeping families and communities in the community informed. Um we had uh 28% say very effective. Uh close to 39% that said effective. uh we had about 28 and a half% that said we were somewhat effective and then we just had a very small
062slogan that said that we were not effective as a district at communicating with their families. >> Uh do you feel the district is accessible and responsive to families and community uh members. Uh we had uh 42% say yes, 41%ish say sometimes, and then we had 11 uh.3% that said no, that we are not responsive to families or community members, and a very small sliver that said that we they were unsure about our responsiveness. Um looking at scales of one to five, uh five being uh the high end, low being the low end. Uh do you believe the district is meeting the academic needs of students? Um few fives, lots of fours, lots of threes, which means we have room to improve. We always have room to improve. Uh few twos and um and some ones
063there. So, room for growth for sure, but um a majority of our families feel that we are um that it's a positive that we are meeting the academic needs of our students. Do you feel that the district is meeting the social and emotional needs of students? Um this one's a little bit more in the middle. Uh we have quite a few threes. Um 35% of the families that were served that they answered the survey said that we were um you know, a three in this category. Uh we had 22% that rated us a four. Uh little about 10% a five. And then we had a few more people that were in the two and one category. And I'll talk in a minute about some of the things the comments that came out and the themes
064that came out the comments. And that's where we're going to go next. Additional supports that would benefit Cousace schools. Mental health and seal supports. Uh more counselors, more mental health professionals. uh education around coping skills, healthy relationships, suicide prevention, um social, emotional and behavior skill instruction across grade levels, um teacher and staff support and training, district level support and voice for teachers. So, making our teachers feel more more heard and valued. Um training in special education, disabilities and behavioral management for our staff. Additional trainings. We do trainings, but ongoing training. uh consistency and communication among staff to improve learning environments. So having more consistency across our schools in terms of of um uh communication and and how we're working with our students in the learning environments. Um special education and neuro neurode divergent learners is
065an area that we uh that would benefit additional supports in cruisebased schools. uh targeted support for students on the autism spectrum, especially high functioning. Uh sped and neurode divergent expertise in our schools. Um training for all staff in supporting diverse learners. Uh we can benefit more according to the community and our families for more academic support and enrichment, tutoring, guided study, summer school options, homework and feedback for parents, especially in math was a thing. uh and and also support for high achieving students and more um uh enrichment and extension for those students. Uh school environment, behavior and culture, uh responses to bullying and disruptive behaviors. That was a theme that was in um our survey. Instruction and respect, empathy and kindness and safe, consistent and accountable adult supervision across our campuses was a theme that
066came out. uh curriculum program adjustments, AP seminar and advanced placement uh for freshmen. So, we have AP seminar for our sophomores like to see some more and and advanced options for freshmen and Mr. Ash and I have already been talking about that for the fall and so uh that's good that it was on there. Uh increased physical education opportunities. We meet our statewide PE minutes. So, um but but parents would like to see some more opportunities for physical education in our schools. and then flexibility and classroom checks to ensure that infective effective instruction is going on. I think that we're taking a lot of steps with our OTI at the K6 level. Um our AVIN walkthroughs at the 712 level and then we're working right now with the evaluation committee on revamping our uh both
067our administrative evaluation process and our certified or teacher evaluation process to be more rubric based uh to be more um supportive for growth and have growth measures. So, so the things that are coming out of the survey are things that we are focusing on right now and continuing to try to improve, which is good. Means our priorities are lined up. Uh, do you feel our schools are welcoming and safe for all students and families? Uh, 51% said yes. Uh, 34% said sometimes and then 14 uh% of of people surveyed said that they are not safe and welcoming. All students and families. some positive Kuzbay experiences that were that came out of our survey survey, excuse me. Um, teacher and staff interactions, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Um, we have teachers and assistants who build strong, caring
068relationships with students, and responsiveness and approachable staff. Communication and responsiveness for positive experiences, clear and quick communication from teachers and administrators. uh social media and app updates are do we're doing well with keeping families informed and issues like attendance errors are handled quickly and professionally in the building office. So that was noted in the service. um school events and community engagement. They feel that we have well organized uh school events that are engaging. Uh family involvement opportunities are a positive. Field trips, ice cream socials, awards ceremonies. And parents and community members have voiced positive experiences at games assemblies and outdoor school was mentioned as one of those positive experiences. Um which is good because it's really expensive. Um academic opportunities and student growth. Um we have our AP courses and our challenging academic options are
069a positive for Cousace schools. our teachers availability and willingness to support students and the academic rigor that we have was a positive uh experience for our students and families. leadership and admiration. Um the uh community felt that the transition and confidence and new leadership that's not a shameless plug a I put that in there. I did not put that in there my name but um a transition in confidence and new leadership uh they feel like our new school administration is responsive and is a good fit and follow up by faculty and administration is a positive. Um and the final uh positive area is a sense of well-being and and belonging. School climate, friendly, welcoming environment, relationships and community support is strong and they feel the students are known and recognized by school staff which I
070think is very important. How can we improve? Okay. The areas that that the themes that came out of the slides about did I jump ahead of slide? I'm jumped ahead of slide. Interesting. Okay. How can we improve um communication, transparency, and trust? Uh improve honesty and follow through. Um we had some families that expressed um some some frustrations with some projects uh and the community uh and families were not included in some of the decision-makings in those projects. Um increased clarity and consistency. Uh stronger communication. Again, some of the positives are also some of the things that we need to improve. That's just the nature of surveys, especially when I think we have we have 73 responses. You know, I think if we we're up in the hundreds, 200 responses, we might see more separation
071in themes. But, um, listening to families and students more intentionally, hopefully with our, uh, increased opportunities for student voice, that will help something that will be solved as we we move forward. Uh, teacher of quality, staff support, and accountability address variations in teacher quality. The gap between excellent, struggling, uh, is inequitable. um including uh teachers in decision-making. Some people feel like the last few years had a great voice in the decision-m process. Accountability for staff professionalism and student treatment. Families feel like we have some students um uh that haven't been treated um fairly. Um academic rigor, opportunity, and curriculum balance. Raise expectations and pacing. Um don't hold back our advanced learners. Expanded course offerings, foreign languages, personal finance, which will be a state requirement next year. that certainly be something we are going to be
072focusing on. Uh medical classes and more hands-on electives and re-evaluating curriculum focus balance rigor with creativity and reduce over reliance on technology in the classroom. Um other areas we can improve uh student support mental health and school climate addressing discipline issues fighting drug behavior management for consistent concerns increase mental health supports uh promoting respect and kindness through our our schools and our buildings. uh operations, logistics and facilities improve our transportation reliability. Um a lot of people felt there was some, you know, um a lot of variations in pickup and drop off times, which is true. We have some bus routes that run um later into the evening, not just by geographic location. Um fix facility issues and prioritize student spaces over administrative spending. Um streamlining school operations, pickup lines, parking, lunch logistics, etc. And then
073leadership, inclusion, and community relations. Increase leadership accountability. Hoping to do that again through our um refocused on on uh administrative evaluation process. Foster inclusion and fairness across all our schools including charter and alternative programs and strengthen partnerships um in the community schools and our families. See, switched up back. Um this kind of fits into the same theme. How can we improve? can be excuse me mine's a little wonky. I'm going to go off there. Okay. So, what are areas to continue to focus on? Uh academic achievement and instructional improvement. Um quality academic rigor. Uh core subjects. Continue to focus on core subjects. Reading, writing, math. Um supporting our high achieving students. Again, uh we talked about that. Um uh student support, wellness, and mental health. um student well-being and social emotional supports, counseling, mental health
074services, safe, healthy, and positive school environments. Uh moving on to teacher support professionalism. Uh supporting teacher wellness and work life balance is something that came up in the survey. Uh training and um professional development, especially on autism awareness. Uh teacher accountability was an emphasis that was uh discussed, equity, access, and alternative pathways. um success for all students um not just one group or ability level strengthen our alternative education programs which Miss Dr. Crook and I have talked about and we're working on a plan to bring to the board in terms of our priorities. I present our corporals and my superintendent goals. Uh career readiness and post-graduation success, you know, our three E and continuing our three E. Uh literacy and foundational, keep investing in reading interventions and literacy programs. Uh continue the focus on elementary
075reading and math foundations and academic culture that values literacy and learning improvements. And then lastly, continuing to focus on uh expanding arts and elective programs, multicultural learning opportunities, and then supporting programs that help student grow beyond academics. U music, arts, and community focused um endeavors. La last couple items on these slides before we move on to the accountability or excuse me, at a glance narratives. Uh do you feel confident about the direction in the district moving forward? Uh 45 and a half% of the people said yes. Um 39 and a half said they were not sure still need more need more to convince them. And then 15% said no that they are not confident in the direction of the district they some work to do to improve on both those red and orange uh demographics.
076Common themes that were on both the positives and the negatives. And I'll I'll be quick here. academic rigor and student achievement. Um, talking about the AP, higher higher rigor, faster pacing, uh, and improving our reading and foundational skills at elementary. Communication, transparency, and trust. Strong communication is one of the district's most praised strengths. Um, however, uh, families also see inconsistency amongst some of the schools and buildings, and I'll address those, you know, with those individual administrators. Um, parents want timely, honest, and transparent information, especially around academics, discipline, and district decisions. I think that's all very reasonable requests. Um, staff support, training, and professionalism. Families recognize dedicated, caring teachers. Uh, but they also want to see more ongoing trainers, training, and autism, ADHD, behavior management, consistent professionalism. Um, and some concerns about uneven teaching quality and
077accountability, which again, that's going to come with our hopefully improved uh evaluation process. When when parents say they want teachers to have more professional development, first of all, how do they know what professional development they've had? But um did they make suggestions of specific titles that of >> mostly around the professional development around like autism behaviors? A lot of content. Yeah, there were there were things about that. Also, you know, continuing with our our focus on reading, math at the elementary level. So, I think that there's there's some when they talk about professional development, I think, you know, teacher training around these items that need to continue or improve um would be a thing that that pops up there. Um my guess is we also maybe had a couple of um staff members that might
078have filled it out that also are teachers and families and so you know but I don't think that happened consistently but it very well could because we did encourage families to fill it out and some of our families are also some of our employees. >> Yeah. And so um and you know I also think we possibly have some community members that you know um you know they hear things and and they're willing to pass on what they've heard from people around the community. That that's fair. So, >> um, student health, uh, student wellness, behavior, mental health support, uh, more mental health counselors, SEAL programs, trauma-informed supports, behavior management systems, and focus on safety, kindness, and emotional growth. Uh, equity, inclusion, and fairness, u, desire for equitable attention to all student groups, our high achievers, our
079neurode divergent learners, and our students that have some behavioral struggles that we're working with. um calls for fairness and athletic opportunities and discipline. Um some people again felt that you know too much of a focus on athletics, some people felt not enough focus on athletics. Some people felt you know um you're get you get a variety of of fields but leadership culture and district climate leadership changes drew attention but many have praised the transition. Uh families want approachable, stable, and visible leadership in both the buildings and district level and the desire for a positive and unified culture that reflects values that are consistent across all of our schools. Those are the things. So next steps, uh the next steps, um it's kind of interesting. I was at the OSBA conference with with Arie. Um, I
080also visited Esticada School District, which at some point I'd love to have a conversation about, but Esticada is very big on school culture and um, Dave and I were having a conversation about trying to get more community engagement opportunities. So like coffee with the superintendent and um, we were talking about trying to, you know, spend some time in uh, Charleston at one of the cafes there, Empire at Empire Donuts because they don't have a lot of coffee shops in Empire, you know. So it goes in downtown D Street Cafe. I'm shameless plugs for all these places. Some of them I haven't been to, but trying to get more to areas of town and let some some community members and families come and visit with me about whatever topic that they want to talk about schools.
081Maybe I ask some questions about some of these survey things, but have a chance for more dialogue. Um, possibly some town hall opportunities and some locations around the community where it's not one of our school buildings, but maybe it's a fire station over in in by the by the east side fire station. Maybe it's downtown, you know, maybe it's over in Empire at a location, but getting around the community and then continuing with survey surveys of our constituents. As we talked about these things, we went into the keynote the next day at the OSBA conference and our keynote talked about all of these things and how important they are. So, it just kind of backed up the conversation that David and I already had about how we could block out some time on the calendar
082both in mornings and in evenings. you know, not just I'm available for coffee from 8 to 9, but can I get over into a town hall from 6:00 to 7 or 6:00 to 8 over Yeah. uh in different areas of town to support families that that are working during the day. How can I how can I do that? So, um you know, addressing concerns about issues that are both in the survey and outside, celebrating our successes, and then tracking the data that's collected when we go to do this survey again, maybe we expand on it a little bit, but using similar questions and similar themes so we can track our data over time. >> Yeah. So those are the next steps with this with this family and community survey. Um any questions or comments on
083that before I go to the at a glance um OD at a glance? Dr. Agowski. >> Yeah. So I think I would first just ask uh so what did you personally learn by uh getting taking this survey and how would you increase uh your your N your how do you go from 70 to 200 um for your future survey? >> Yeah, great. Um I think first of all what I've learned is in a positive many of the things that we are focused on in CSB schools our families are also focused on as families. So they talk about teacher development, professional development amongst our teachers, behavior support um we have those things on our radar too. So the community needs, our family needs and our district priorities seem to be aligned based on the survey which
084is really good. Um I think um the second you remind me the second part of your question. >> The second question was it was um we think the survey would be more valid if we had more responses. Why don't we get more respons? >> I think um when I offer opportunities to meet with more folks uh encouraging them to their voice is important. Encouraging them to come and visit with us at board meetings and the public input. Um let them know that a survey will be coming again in the spring where they could find it. How can I get the survey to them when I meet with them? What is your email address? I'll email we'll make a list serve and we'll email the surveys out to community members who are are interested. Um we
085have parents square which we use to send out the survey on our Facebook page and district website. But >> and and these results the survey results are they on our website? They will be we will be posting this survey results on our website so families and and community members can can see the themes and where the community feels that we're at. I think it's important to be >> and make a point of saying that this was the results of 70 people. us think how great it would be if we had more. >> And then we'll kind of David and I will start looking at um a target date for that survey so we can start sharing that out and saying look for this survey in early April of 2026 and you know so people people
086know that it's coming and it just doesn't all of a sudden magically show up on a website. >> Yeah. But uh little bit of advice from um before I became a surgeon, I did a lot of uh research, did a lot of surveys and one of the things that I think that you could make better in your next survey is make it shorter. >> Okay. >> Um shorter surveys get answered uh at a higher rate than longer surveys. I know longer surveys are much more useful because they in some ways because they give us this deeper dive, but if we're really if if the goal is to get more engagement, I think shorter might be a little better. And then um the number of the number of contacts to remind a person has to be
087insistent and annoying. And uh so the the you know hitting people with emails, hitting people with parents, blasting, keep blasting it out. Don't be af don't be uh ashamed or frustrated to be annoying at that point. Like the uh that is how you drive those numbers up. The other way that a lot of people try to drive them uh those numbers up is offering some sort of raffle thing and some sort of and it could be something as >> uh and you know it doesn't have to be of high uh monetary value but it could be something you know >> u to the football game >> or or you know coffee with the superintendent or the superintendent or but but um uh Sorry. >> People are much more likely to answer it if they if
088they think there might be something for them on the other side. >> Um so ju just my uh ideas for the next one because I think this is this is great. I'm excited we're doing this. Um I think like you said early, I think it will be more valid the more participation we get. >> Yes, agreed. We have a question about um surveys in other languages and and we have paper surveys go out for those folks who don't necessarily have electronics or >> we need to it's an area that we kind of dropped the ball on is we should have had a we should have had a Spanish option for families. Um, and we we we should have provided an option if you want to come down to the district office or we'll mail you
089one whatever of getting a paper survey out to families. I own that like >> and that was kind of something that came out of being at OSBA this week. It's like I dropped the ball. So, we'll we'll make sure to rectify that when we go to to do the the spring survey. >> Yeah. I think that's great. What we're looking at >> Do we have any families that don't speak English? >> Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. We have we have Spanish. I I we should have sent We should have had this converted into a Spanish I mean it would have been fairly easy in Google form to convert it into Spanish. I should have we should have done that >> especially since I'm seeing more Spanish language advertising on TV every day. >> I I had
090a couple of questions. Um >> I I got I went to a event somewhere. It was I don't know if it was a school thing and it was the survey was on a QR code >> right there in front of me and there was some little cookies or something sitting on a plate. She said, "Oh, you just do the QR code, fill out the survey and you can have a cookie." You know, and I I like was like, "Oh, hey." And I did it right there. So, the QR code is another great way at events uh to get people to do that. But, um >> and David's great with QR code. >> Yeah. >> I was just thinking while you're talking, if the Mill Casino would just loan us that screen for a week and
091we could just pop it right up there. >> Yeah. Um, but you're absolutely right. A little tiny incentive goes a long way if you can. I don't know what >> Sure. We can I mean, we can put the last question on there if you're willing to enter your name for, you know, we could put on there on the very first thing. If you're willing to enter your name to be in the drawing, that's question one. And then from there, keep on keep on going. >> And I think somebody in town also put a put the QR code on like on a business card and then it it triggered a a coffee free coffee. You took the card. Anyway, um >> I mean we I I do that as in my medical practice is actually we
092have QR codes in the back business cards and when a patient says something nice, we'll hand it to them and say be willing to, you know, lend us your your support and then those patients can use that to um purchase stuff in our from we sell vitamins and stuff. like you >> those those types of things >> you can send them you can make little little var incentives and the um like even you know I get um a pretty steady stream of you know permission forms flyers other things home from my students if one of those had a QR code on it says you know when blankety blank fill out the survey you could get more responses in their >> window I would also um second getting it translated um and being able to mail
093to families uh those translated surveys with a return envelope, you know, postage return envelope so they don't have to try to come get it or whatever. Um >> you deputize your students so you can say, you know, the the school with the highest number of >> surveys completed. Let's not do let's not reward every It's not the students problem that the parents don't fill out the surveys. No, but they can take ownership of the of things like, you know, pushing phones and other things. >> I don't know. I'm gonna have to push back on that. Dr. >> Disagreement's helpful. >> Agreement is very move agenda. >> Okay. Um, we're not done yet. We're gonna talk about real quick. I want to talk about OD at a glance. Okay. our um up our new at a
094glance school report card um district report card and school report comes out here in the next few weeks. So I thought before we talk about that in a future meeting for our two new board members that may not be familiar with our at a glance and just for board members that might need a refresher uh we should we should talk about the at a glance that OD puts out um the at a glance profile this is our kousbay one for the 2324 school year and uh Dr. Rogowski, are you able to see it on your screen? Just Okay. And maybe so you can see scroll down too. I'm back to not be able to see very well. >> Um you can see in our at a glance that uh they cover our student enrollment. Uh
095some demographics for both our student and teachers in terms of um race and ethnicity. some demographics down below in terms of like students that we have that are with students with disabilities ell languages spoke um our uh uh students experienced poverty and then some rating scores for where we're at in terms of regular attenders third grade ELA third grade reading eighth grade math on track to graduate on time graduate and fiveyear completion okay um and so these are these are going to be a lot of the accountability measures going forward they're going to continue on plus with a few that has been added on by OD. Um, if you go to the next slide, we then get a little bit more disagregated information in terms of our regular attenders, our third grade, uh, again, uh,
096EL, excuse me, third grade English language arts, um, eighth grade math. If it says, uh, less than 10 students or data unavailable, OD kind of embargos that because it's more easily identifiable. So if you have a certain number of students that are under that 10 student threshold or under a percentage of students that are in your building, they don't release that information because it's too easy to identify our third grade readers and how they're doing in that demographic. So if you look at American Indian, Alaskan Native for third grade, it says less than 10 students. So they're not going to release that information of how they did overall. So as you're looking at it, just so you can understand a little bit as to why um that information hasn't been released. Uh but you can
097see these are the profiles that we get every year and again they're going to come out here in November. Um so I wanted to give you a little background on it. Um and then questions on that before I jump to the next slide. >> This information like where it says um >> yeah that slide right there on the far left where it talks about um staff the numbers of staff and teachers and everything. We give that information to them. >> We update that with OD here. Yes, correct. >> We really still have three psychologists. >> We do. >> They work here at the district office. >> Yeah. >> Are these links supposed to work under this school district? >> Well, I sure hope they do. Are they not working? >> File 196. No. Well, not
098>> um see if it clicks on mine. these. What's it? >> Yeah, the links are grayed out. >> Okay, I will get you those links. I just included the links for every school at a glance so that you have them. I will get those to you. Just I want to make a one-stop shop so you can click on them and they were active and working, but I don't know what happened, but I will get those to you updated so you can click on those and see every building in our district and what their um what their report their at a glance is. So, I'm going to move on and I'm going to talk about I want to look at our at a glance data for our key component areas and some comparisons. So, I've pulled
099some data about where we are at compared to these are our Cous County and Reedsport school district. So, these are our students that are living in poverty. Our percentage of students living in poverty. Um OD gets that number. I put a little narrative at the bottom. OD gets that number um by defining students who get SNAP u benefits or temporary assistance for needy families. We're in foster care experienced homelessness or received migrant education services. That's where that number percentage comes from. So you can see Kuzbay school district we're at 48% of our students living in poverty. Northbend's 41. Coil is 40%. Ral Point is 40 30% in Bandon 56% in Reedsport and 32% in Powers. So again, just want to give you a little background of where we're at compared to CUSPACE schools. Regular attenders,
100um, we are at 61% again, regular attenders, students who attend at least 90% of, uh, school year, which equals missing no more than 18 days. Uh, Kuz Bay, we're at 61% of our students are regular attenders. 62% in Northbend, 48% in Coke, 55% in Myrtle Point, 64% in Bandon, 59% in Reedsport, and 79% in Powers. Okay, which I asked the power superintendent. I said, "You guys got some pretty good scores, you know, in some of these demographic areas like regular attenders." And he's like, "Well, we can go get them real easy. There's only you know there's but you also you also have to understand that a place like Powers they can have one year where their test scores are because they have so few students being tested they're very their scores can vary hugely year
101to year just based on the fact they have just this little population of students >> uh proficient uh students proficient uh percentage of students proficient in third grade reading okay ELA cousc count 26% of our third graders are proficient in ELA and reading 38% in Northbend, 40% in Coke, 29% in Myrtle Point, 66% in Bandon, uh 17% in Reedsport, and 31% in Powers. That is identified and defined by students meeting grade level expectations within reading, listening, and writing uh the components on the Oregon statewide assessment. >> What did Bandon do? I am reaching out to uh Bannon superintendent and elementary um principal to uh do a little factf finding on what what what intervention programs are using what's their core look like >> is it is this a one year anomaly or this >> um
102and you can see in math percentage of proficient eighth grade students in math who's county and readport 15% um northbends 30% 13% coke 15% my point 45% in Vanden 30 or excuse me 5% in reachport and powers it didn't have enough students they didn't test enough eighth graders to to release the data again it's easily identifiable for them so they didn't include it >> is the test that people can opt out >> yeah um you yes you can opt out you most districts don't see a ton of third grade and eighth grade opt out high school opt out is huge um and uh for example I I give you the exact numbers that we had in Kbay mil last year. I want to say we had about 10 kids that opted out of the entire
103third through sixth grade. So, it wasn't a huge knock up. >> Okay. >> I will tell you that of the 10 kids that opted out last year at Milan, I feel pretty confident saying seven or eight of them would have scored a three or better on on the on the assessments. So, and then the last Cous County demographic is percentage of ninth graders that are on track to graduate. So these are students that are in their first year of high school that have earned at least 25% of the credits required for a diploma by the end of their first year. Uh Kuzbay 76 um Northbend 75% Coke 63% Myrtle Point 65% 85% in Bandon 71% in Reedport and 92% in okay so um just giving you a little background of where we're at compared to
104our county schools. I'll provide this with our new report card as well when it comes out in at the end of November. I'll provide it at our December meeting. And then I wanted to also one of the ODU metrics that's going to come out in the accountability requirements is we're going to be clustered with schools that are of similar size to us and we're going to be kind of rated against them. Um and our cluster, our preliminary cluster group came out over the weekend. We don't need to discuss it right now, but um the schools that are in these next slides are in our cluster group. Our cluster group is big and Arie, I think I told you this, but Mitchell's in our cluster group. Arie and I had lunch with the M. Mitchell superintendent.
105They have 55 total students in their district, but they have an international online charter school that bumps them up to about Yeah. So, but I'm sure the Mitchell superintendent is probably like, "Man, I'm in this big bunch of That's >> right." >> She's I mean, she was talking to us about their dorms and their boarding and all. Anyways, >> so looking at some schools that are around the state that are um school districts around the state that are similar to Kuz Bay. Um uh we have Ashlin Atoria Cascade School District which is near Salem. Uh Central which is kind of uh Independence Mammoth area around Western Oregon University. Uh Crook County which is over near Pineville in Primeville, excuse me. Pendleton Phoenix talent down by Medford and South Lake. So I tried to get us
106around the state a little bit. Uh in terms of students living a percentage of students living in poverty, 48% in Cous Bay, 26 in Ashland, 29% in Atoria, 29% in at Cascade School District and Cascade School District, 42% in Crook County, 34%, excuse me, 42% centrally. I apologize. 34% Crook County, 42% Pendleton. Phoenix talent 53%. The fires in Phoenix Town have also had a huge effect on not just their students in poverty, but their scores and all kinds regular attenders. Um, really good folks though down there in Phoenix. Brenberry is a great uh superintendent doing good things. And then South 39%. Looking at regular attenders, you can see I'm not going to go through all, but you can see that we're we're kind of in the middle there. We're on par with with Krook County.
107Um we're on par with uh Pendleton, Phoenix Talent, slightly below um slightly below Crook County, but on par with Central, excuse me. Uh have some areas to growth, though. And uh Phoenix talent is actually an area that's starting to see a lot of increases in their regular attenders. Um the the KOSA uh attendance cohort is spending some time down there in the next couple weeks. I have another event that day for our regional superintendent meeting, but I'm I'm curious to to hear feedback from what we're doing down there. >> Um, but again, we're kind of right in the middleish of those um of those schools in terms of regular attenders, those school districts. Looking at third grade uh percentage of third grade reading, we have a long ways to go. Um, we're on the bottom
108end of the districts around the state with 26% of our third graders proficient in in English language arts. Ashlin's at 53%. You can see Atoria Cascade 40 40 45 and 49. And then the rest of the trend line is in the 30 uh the 30th percentile 30%. Uh but we have a ways to go and that trend also continues with math where we are near the bottom math wise in the state where our math scores aren't great as a state. We have a lot of work to do as a state. Um I'm hopeful that when our scores come out we're going to see some growth based on our SAVIS implementation. I think we are going to see some growth. It's not going to be to the 40 into the 40% like Etoria and it's not
109going to be in the 30%s uh like County, but I'm hopefully we can we can see some growth, see some positives what we're doing. >> And then lastly, >> if you had to pick one, uh the reading or math, which would you pick? >> Like that's a loaded question. No, I'm I'm like uh I'm I'm I'm asking it as a as a new board member is starting is where where where should we spend? We have two areas that are both uh really need improvement, but we shouldn't fracture our attention too much. Which one deserves the most? >> Um not for Arie to throw a pencil at me or a pen. I was a math guy, but I think the ELA is the focus area because it sprouts off in every other subject area. And we've
110found that with students that are struggling with reading, when they get to math, they can't read story problems. Um, they really have a hard time just understanding the directions and how the flow goes in there. Um, but reading takes you into every other subject area. And math sure has a an importance in science and STEM and things of that area. But I think if we can get the third grade reading problem solved, it's going to have a ripple effect to the math issue as well. Um, and we're noticing, you know, we used to be do teacher de a group called teacher development group in math where they would come and do math coaching pre-COVID and it's just starting to get back going again. And when you can convince kids they're mathematicians and that, you know,
111math is such a um anxiety driven issue for students. They just they they just I'm terrible at math. I'm terrible at math. So math, I think, is as much about a mentality and trying to teach them that they are mathematicians. >> But we have to have those foundational reading skills focus. And if Ameilia Ed was on right now, she'd be she'd be clapping. >> We have a ton of grants for OD too for early. >> And that last on track slide, you can see uh we're behind the uh the state schools of our size and on track for ninth grade. Um I think we're going to see a pretty good bump in our on ninth grade on track. I'm hopeful. And then I also think we're going to that trend is going to continue. I
112think uh looking at some of the statistics from the the first quarter at the high school, we saw a lot of positives from grades in the first quarter from Mr. Nash. And then the positives on the last slide just highlighting up in the top left working our way left to right like a book. Um we got the Hall of Fame. So you know you're getting old when classmates are getting in the Hall of Fame. Um, and so, um, all three of those four individuals were in high school when I was in high school. Um, but we had Travis Ber, Matt Zozel, uh, Lori Brands, and then Nikki Sikting, I don't know her married name, but, um, off the top of my my brain, were all inducted. And then we had our 05 or 06 shear
113team, which included uh, Miss Seats, who was a teacher over at East Side. Um, culinary kids just doing a great job. Uh, this was them at the um, South Coast Economic Development. um event, the Taste of Oregon event. It's fantastic. Kim Agricola getting our regional teacher of the year. And then I had some destination students that attended the uh um um job fair over at Seven Feathers. Um and got a photo of them. Middle uh photo there on the left, that is our staff at the OTI, the Oregon Response to Instruction and Intervention um conference last week. It was when we broke off into our table groups and we were meeting as a K6 uh staff to talk about our reading uh and interventions for tier three students but also focusing on core. Um we
114have um our two students there uh Dakota Beckham Dakota Becker Matz and Braden Moer um who uh as you may be aware played in the band. Um they did the junior ROC color guard and the football game all in the same night at one of the games this year which is a really cool deal. Um, and so we got a picture of them. Uh, got some, uh, academics going on there, a little pirates right there. Some, uh, a little intervention group going on. Uh, Mr. Ashton is really happy with the way the assemblies have gone this year. Student participation by moving the assemblies back away from backing up to lunch or being poor after lunch. Kids are now coming to the assemblies more often instead of extending their lunch period. Um, bottom left, that is
115a uh, tribal canoeing ceremony. Um we have been doing a great job of continuing to work with our tribal partners. Uh we're just finishing up every building having a um uh professional development with the tribe either at the plank house or on campus for the high school and junior high because their PLC time isn't enough time to get to the plank house. >> Um we got Miloma Assembly right there. >> Can can I interrupt a minute? I heard some feedback on that professional development. >> Yeah. from a teacher who said they normally do not look forward to going to professional development classes, but that the program that they got was the best thing that they had they felt that they had had. >> Great. That's great. I was able to attend when Madison and um
116Sunset went out to the plank house and it was awesome. I had never been out there. I and it was amazing. It was amazing experience. So, I'm happy to hear that the teachers felt that way, too. >> Yeah. >> Um, uh, next to the Miloma students, we've got our, uh, superintendent advisory committee. We had that first meeting and it was fantastic. Uh, super great to hear the student voice, uh, around how, uh, school year's going, how it's starting. And then, um, lastly, we have intervention groups over at Sunset. Mr. Waldrop running, uh, a reading intervention group and doing a great job. So, lots of positives. uh and I sent out an email um with some of the the first nineweek positives and things to build off of. So um that is my report for this
117evening. Any questions, comments? >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Questions? >> Perfect. >> Okay, thank you. >> Okay, policy updates. You should have received um in your agenda links to the policies that are up for discussion today for first reading. Um with an indication that we're not going to go through them line by line unless people have questions about individual policies. >> I appreciated your email. I read all the policies. Thank you so much. >> Absolutely. Um, I was only doing that because of past practice. So, I'm happy to uh just answer questions if you have any. Um, but I will ask if if there's any prospective policies that anyone would like the policy committee to take up. >> Wonderful. And are there any questions on any of the policies in first three? >> Wonderful.
118They seem to trigger self-explanatory. >> Okay, I think we're back to you. >> Yeah. So, um, as we have so many open seats for the budget committee, I felt it pertinent that we get out a budget calendar as quickly as possible so that when people are wanting to join the committee, they know the dates they are committing to. And we have a quorum at all of our meetings, which we unfortunately did not have last year. So, I'm presenting to you a budget calendar for the 20 26 2027 fiscal year. There is no um significant changes to the process from last year. We had discussed doing it a little bit earlier starting in like April, but we have some other scheduling conflicts. So, we're going to keep it in May. We're going to do the two
119budget committee budget committee meetings in May and then um the budget hearing is a June meeting assuming that you all adopt the calendar >> and we'll be in Tokyo during May 13th and May 20th. >> My apologies. >> That's okay. I think I also have a quorum. So, >> thank you. I appreciate the communication ahead of time. Um so, yeah, this is the budget calendar. Anyone have any questions? >> No. Is that something that needs a motion? >> Yes, it does. >> Okay. Do I have a motion to accept the >> budget calendar for the 2026 27 budget year? >> I so move to adopt the budget calendar for the 2026 27 budget year. And sorry. >> I'll second. >> Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Are there any questions? >> Derek. >> Hi. Baby
120I >> Arie I >> Kim >> I >> chair votes I >> motion passes. >> Thank you all. >> Okay then we move >> thought it might help >> on to Okay. Um, as part of our OSBA responsibilities, we have the opportunity to vote um, a legislative policy committee member in. Um, there was information provided on both candidates. Um, >> does anybody want to make a motion to support one of those candidates? >> Are we voting as a board so we can >> Yeah, we are voting as a board so that we can pass this information. >> Give a >> just for a ballot. >> Okay. >> Right. >> It's a very official. So that way >> there's one right in that basket. Oh, he's looking I think she Thank you. >> And you can
121tally the votes for us, please. >> Pass them right off to the >> man. >> I don't think there's going to be I'm not going to bother telling unanimous. >> It's unanimous. >> I so move that we vote as a district on OSBA legislative policy committee position number nine to Janet Holland. I'm assuming >> that's who you voted for. It was unanimous. Ira Steven. >> Okay. Is there a second to Miss Holland? >> I'll second that. >> Okay. Um Okay. We'll take a voice vote on that. Roll call vote. Derek >> maybe I >> Arie. >> Kim. >> Chair votes yes >> on Miss Holland. So if you could let OSBA know. >> I will fill out the official ballot. >> Okay. Thank you. Okay. We're at the appoint budget committee members. We got applications,
122letters of interest from two individuals for the three positions we have open. >> Um >> I would say they're both really good. >> Yes. >> And and Debbie's been on for a long long time and a nice conversation with a lot of people. >> And I read um Annie's letter. She brings a lot of financial right >> and loving. >> Yeah. She need one more person. >> Um, we do need another budget committee member. So, >> we know anybody, >> but um, can I get a motion to accept, um, Debbie and Annie Debbie Springsteen and Annie Pard? >> I'll make a motion that we accept the um, uh, Debbie Springsteen and Annie Pard as positions four and seven. Would you like to be seven? for those two individuals to be on our budget committee. >>
123Second. >> Okay, it's been moved and seconded. >> I I >> I Okay, we have two new members of our budget committee. We will try and get you a third member >> by March. >> And I I will renounce after this that, you know, we've selected two. We still have one open and I'll send another. I'm not gonna worry about uh being annoying Dr. Ogowski and I'm gonna hammer at home. I will send it by email uh Morris code. However we can get somebody >> and budget law we are okay having as long as we had it open or taking um applicants. We were okay in terms of forums and processes for local. >> Well, we should be able to get I I did mention it. It was a little late at a couple of
124meetings, other meetings of groups that I went to. Um, and there was a little interest. So, we may be able to >> Are there restrictions on that person? So, can that person be for example a substitute teacher in the district? >> No. >> There there are several. Um, they're pretty >> regular ones like you have to live within the goobag. They're all listed on our policy uh which is policy DBEA. Uh and so it goes through all of the parameters and and kind of all the process in the budget. >> Okay. Um next is board items. We have I put superintendent evaluation on just to um publicly announce that we are conducting um a superintendent evaluation in um compliance with the KOSA OEA um workbook for evaluations. Um, since this is would be in that
125format, just the first quarter review, we're asking board members to fill out sections A and B. And I've asked Gary to fill out section C for his um self evaluation. Um, again, those things should be back by next Wednesday. >> Did you send out the >> PDF that we can actually fill in? >> I did. Yes, >> I didn't find it. I can't >> I think it's today. >> I didn't I was able to open it but they were not >> for some reason. >> I don't >> I just wrote a word document and sent it. >> Yeah, I know. I don't know if that'll >> it's problems. No, it'll be fine. >> I I will resend it to you if you uh could just email me back that like confirm if it opens or
126not. Okay. Then I'll know if I need to keep working on it. Okay, that'd be great. >> Thank you. >> Okay, and then we will have a meeting on uh two weeks from now on the 24th, I think, um to review this and to finalize documentation. >> Okay. Um we need to schedule a public hearing for charter renewal. >> Nope, you guys jumped on the >> We did that. I was going to say we did that. That'll be noon on Friday. It'll be a virtual meeting, so if any of our public wants to attend, you're more than welcome to. >> And that brings us to board member highlights. >> Derek, you want to start? >> Sure. >> Uh, I had a the great opportunity uh to watch our Lady Pirates volleyball team uh battle their
127way back to fourth and state. Um I thought they showed a lot of uh >> grit and they're and they just um I was impressed at how positive they are as a team and how they after every point they're together uh helping each other out. So I thought that they uh represented our uh district well and played really hard and that was that was fun to watch. >> Cool. Uh I am working with um my fellow board members on the superintendent evaluation committee and spend some time doing that this month. >> Perfect. Barney >> um also on that committee I enjoyed working with groups doing that. But I also went to the OSBA conference and had a really great time. A lot of almost all the North Bend uh board was there all but one
128which was kind of fun. Spent a lot of time with them. Um, and you really meet a lot of interesting and great people. You also can meet state requirements. Every time you get elected, you have to do a public meetings law and all those things. And so, they take care of that for you as part of that meeting. The conversation with the other guy was really about reaching out to the community and doing other things and how to do that. It was all timely and a really good meeting. So, appreciated it. >> And there's a lot of competition there because You can get your certificates for your required tradings and then bronze, silver, gold. >> Yeah. >> And so, and then Kevin and I we have the competition for He got >> He won. >>
129He got his own thing. All the stuff you can get engaged in. >> Yeah. Yes. >> Go get up there. >> There it is. I'm gonna get that. See, this is the first one I've >> He's the only one that brings them. >> Yeah. He won the trophy. got up on the stage in front of thousands of people. They announced it. He brought the trophy himself. Our >> Kevin. >> Yes. So >> our own because he was going to win. >> Yes. Yes. So he created the category and now it's now it's on. Right. >> So, um I also was able to attend a board meeting for Resource Link and learn I asked them a ton of questions, learned so much about uh our our other charter, resource link, who is a part of the
130Guzway School District in a very unique way. And uh I know we missed you, but just by the >> Did you hear about what happened? >> The link >> I was on there and she she forgot to turn on the Google Meet and it was texting and emailing like I'm here. So, I did meet with um with Lesie the following Monday. >> Good. >> So, and she ran me through the whole meeting. Yeah. Yeah. And we even did it virtual so we'd make sure that we we knew how to do it next time. So, yes. So, I I got caught up. >> Yes. Okay. Well, I'm I'm so glad because there's a lot of information and I think that there's uh great ways. It's been part of the district for the last 20 years there,
131you know, and there's kind of overlap and things that we're doing and created that that they do as well. So, I know that there's kind of a plan going forward and she had discussed that with Justin last year, Dr. Ainsworth. And so really getting up to speed for us with this with our school board and what they've got planned would be great because they are still part of our district >> evolution of resources. >> Yes. Yes. And so looking at some of that um and we've got a number of great teachers really he's been around. I love that guy. And so um it's interesting. I would love for them to come to our board meeting and talk more about it because I think they're so different than any other. I mean, I'm like, what do
132we have to compare to in the state of Oregon that has this kind of relationship with their charter school that's their staff or our staff? >> Yeah. >> And it's it's not the same. So, I would love them to come talk about it. >> Okay. and I participated in this uh evaluation committee and I also attended the um the retirement party for Miss Terry over there. >> Yeah, it was very nice. It was over at the bowling alley. Um, and when I got there, I was there at the beginning as I understand it. It got going a little bit more after I left came out, >> but yeah, that was fun. It was nice to honor Gary. >> Did you bring up the idea of needing budget committee members for >> not there? >> Oh,
133>> not at that one because they're all teachers. So, they're all staff. >> She's retired. She could do She's subbing. >> Oh, but she's subbing. >> Okay. When you're with that, you got it. >> That's right. >> For libraries. >> Is there anything else on our agenda that >> No, thank you. >> For the good of the order, anything? No. Hearing none, we are adjourned. >> Thank you. Thank you. My lip glosses.
