They were in there four hours. I don't regret not taking the class. Good for them. Pat on the back for them. And we're finishing state testing. We finished English and math. English and math. And we're doing science this week, starting it. Uh for fine arts, we had Peter Pan and Wendy the musical in our auditorium, which was a successful turnout. We haven't had a musical in the gym in the auditorium for about a decade or so. So, that's pretty good. Uh, and then Red Weatherford is being published for one of his poems in a book with
005a bunch of other um team authors. So, that's pretty cool for him. And then manufacturing had three recent tournaments at SWAK, Rogue, and uh Lil Peter Community B colleges. And um speech debate won fifth in state with Ty Belzer and Sam Quant finishing second in their duo acting. So round of applause for them. Uh three students performed at solo band state instrumental. Uh Alan Torpedole got 11th place, Britney Herrera got 15th and Addison Boss got 17th. uh for our skills USA which was completed last month. Elliot Ay and J Jesse Frickle are state champs in uh audio production and they will be going to nationals and Dakota Blair and Alex Browse are state championship and won state championships for multiple different manufacturing events which don't go to nationals but still good for them. Uh Glenn

Um for the poetry slam, uh Sam Weather Red Weatherford won first, Serenity Davis won second, Eliza Herman won third, and Warren Leine won the best cemetery poem, uh which is a poem based off of our school cemetery. Uh we have dance concert tomorrow and next Wednesday we have a choir concert. Uh the 29th is senior signing day. It's also the day that we have our end of the year awards night um for like the math science and all the different awards from each of the classes. And then when the Memorial Day assembly is on the 22nd, uh prom, we had prom last month. Theme was night in Emerald City. Uh Sat Stag and Anelise McCord
007were prom royalty. Um for our sports, this week is our last week of regular season for softball, baseball, track, and boys volleyball. Tennis has already started their districts with the boys at districts today and tomorrow and the girls going on Wednesday and uh being there for Thursday and Friday. Uh I don't know exactly because boys isn't done yet, but I know that um I think one of the guys won their match already. I think Justin won his Justin Mo won his match and I don't know exactly who else has played. They had a pause where they had to wait for the rain unfortunately for a couple hours. So, um, so they're doing that right now. Uh, Bodie Loots, uh, broke the Steve Prefontaine 800 meter record, which shows, yeah, good for him. Pat on the
008back for him. Mr. Ashton did point out that it is interesting because Craig Fontaine technically didn't run the 800 meter, but he run the 880 meter. So, technically, they took his time and changed it to what he beat in the 800. Uh so he he but he beat his time for the 800. So good for uh the 4x4 boys broke the school record uh for the 4x4 um which was they the school ran that record in 1969. So that's a major accomplishment. Uh the our 4x4 boys are uh Carter McGriff which is the first leg, Chandler Wyatt the second leg, Quinton Cluster which is third leg and Bodie Loots. uh which is fourth leg. Uh girls golf h won three tournaments over the last month with Anelise McCord placing second in two of them. I
009think first in two of them. Uh Anika Bones had a hole in one uh uh at hole 15 at Cuse Bay Golf Club which pretty amazing. Uh Nisha Bondau placed first in chess for the success chess success state championship. uh he's a freshman, so good for him. And then senior baseball and softball uh senior night is this Friday, so we should all cheer on the seniors that are well leaving to the next thing. All right, that is it for the last month. Lots of stuff. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Does anybody have any questions? No. Thank you, Mallerie. You're welcome. Cody's not here today, so we move on to Becky. Good evening, everybody.

So, um I don't have a lot tonight, but um boy, did we get spoiled last week with um well, I can only see for my my own school, but lots of food was delivered. Um we had I we had something every day, whether it be breakfast or lunch or both. So, um uh in in honor of teacher appreciation week and also u nurses appreciation. no teacher appreciation day and nurses appreciation day and somehow we just put it all together into um licensed appreciation week is what that generally um we refer to that here. I was waiting for you. Um
011so big thank you to everyone that was able to make our education celebration last week. Um there were a lot of admin in attendance and Addie and Arie were able to attend. So thank you very much. Um, we did have one retiree um that uh chose not to be honored at our education celebration because he's not done yet with his career. Um, he's just officially retiring, but that's Doug Miles. And so, we'll kind of hold off on on his celebration. Um at our education celebration, we focused on um giving some awards to first our prob probationary graduates. Those that are graduating from their probationary period. I I believe um nurses are a little different, but um regardless, they're um graduating from their probationary period and coming back next year. Um, so those people are Courtney
012Grant from East Side, Brett Akre from Marshfield, Annne Barker from Marshfield, Katie Kellenhagen from Marshfield, Andrew Post, Jennifer Vixnneh Hill, both from Marshfield, Brandon Rodriguez from Sunset's been around our district for longer than that as he worked in the classified unit as well. Sonia McCarti from Sunset, Shannon Williamson from Sunset, Hannah Saunders from the junior high, Amber Williams Boozeman from the junior high, Rhonda Solers from Destinations, Erica Staley from Madison, and Molly Still as a nurse for the district. Um, and then we had uh nominations u for peers going the extra mile. Um, and um, I included them in the slideshow and I'm going to send it out um, and I'll remember to include you guys when I send it out so that you can read them and I don't have to read to you.
013Um, but all these people were nominated by their peers for being wonderful. Um, so I'll just I'd just like to name them. Andrea Ba from East Side, Mackenzie Brock from East Side, Lauren Chan from East Side, Sarah Stewart from East Side, Whitney from East Side. Part of that was a um five of them are on the same team and the kindergarten team at East Side and um that's how they were nominated. Chloe Seats from East Side, Dana Ginsky from East Side. So they appreciate each other at East Side. So that's nice. Um Laura Mara from Sunset, Greg Peterson from Sunset, um myself, Ashley Cabierro from Marshfield, and Jessica Nickerson, counselor at the high school. So, Mhm. towards me. Towards you. Yeah, that makes so much sense. Or is there any more slides? Yeah. Okay. So,
014I'm just going to kind of show you that we have all of um all of the words behind the nominations. Um that can be fun to read and I'll be sharing them with the the um well, all of our members. Um but I that would take a lot of reading and I'm sure you don't want that from me. Um, and then all I have remaining is our we have another bargaining session scheduled for um, March 27th, which is a Tuesday. We've been doing them on Mondays, but um, Monday is Memorial Day, so we're going to do it on Tuesday and the district will be presenting their counter proposal, which means I got a couple weeks off, which has been lovely. Um, Adrianne, I just want I did not realize this was going to be your
015last meeting and I hate the vibes and especially formal ones, but um, some of my fondest memories in the classroom involve you there, too. Um, with book groups, we had some great times. Um, and just your willingness, um, to to volunteer for 14 years is is uh, beyond amazing. And, uh, I just hope that you'll keep in touch and we get to see the great things that you do next. Thank you for being on the reading groups in your class. We're amazing to attend. Students are so much fun to read with. Yeah. Thank you so much. Any questions? No, but I would like to offer that Becky just sort of said and me really quickly when she was naming the individuals who had been nominated for recognition. And Becky deserved every bit of recognition that
016she was given by her. Thank you. Okay, bring online. I'm just trying to finish stuff up down in my um room because I decided to make three brand necklaces for our seniors this year. knowing what goes into it but not fully realizing what goes into it. Yeah. And I took a picture uh with my phone. I think I'm going to propose I go before Jackie. You always do a great a great job. It must be from the years in the classroom and putting together stuff to present to children. And so with that, I would also like to say OCA, I know it's the week after, but it's our first board meeting for teacher appreciation week and just saying, you know, happy teacher appreciation week. Um, and we have some really great people that we work
017with in our district and we have a school district that we really have a teacher. So, thank you. Um, our staff spotlight is from Sunset. It's Anna Lamont and she works in the CELI classroom and that stands for social emotional and I messing it up. Yeah, social emotional learning instruction. And so she is um there and is nominated by one of her peers. So we're excited to shine the spotlight on Anna, a truly exceptional member of our Sunset School team. She works in the celely room and is one of the hardest working people we know. Her dedication to Sunset is unwavering. and she puts her whole heart into everything she does. Anna cares deeply for our students and always goes above and beyond to support them no matter the situation. Her passion is evident in
018her daily work and she continues to be a steady positive force in our school community. And I included a quote from one of her peers. She's an amazing staff member. She goes above and beyond with her passion for the students. And so thank you Anna for all that you do and we appreciate you. um updates. We too are in negotiations and our next bargaining uh session is this Thursday from 1 to 4 here in the community room. And other than that, um I don't really have anything else today. Do you guys have any questions? Oh, I lied. I brought our field rep just to introduce her. Her name is Carrie and I will I'll let you introduce yourself. Hello, my name is Carrie Purmon. I'm the new OSDA field rep. Wanted to introduce myself to
019you so you could see the face behind the name. She's down here with me and I was like, "Oh, I can bring you and introduce you to our board." So, now do you guys have any questions? Where are we at in the bargaining? Are you presenting or the district proposing this time? Yeah. Okay. So, we'll next year. Yes. Our our district office staff are are pretty busy right now. So, thank you for I know just for one of how much work goes into that and so what our new business office and human resources are doing for that. So, where is our new rep coming from? Oh, I'm from Washington State, uh, Kitup County, the other end of the 101. So, pretty cool. Well done, Ste. Yeah. Have an education background as well. So, thanks. Any
020questions? Nope. Thank you guys. Have a good night and you too. Okay, we have moved public input up from where it was in last week's agenda. Um, I do have two people on the uh who have requested uh the right to speak. I just want to read our board policy BDDH. Speakers may offer objective criticism of school operations and programs, but the board will not hear personal complaints concerning school personnel, nor against any person connected with the school district. The time limit is 3 minutes. The board chair will direct uh the speaker to the appropriate means for board consideration and disposition of legitimate complaints involving individuals. So, uh, first on our list this morning or this evening is Chris Castleman. The spa. Yes, Chris Castleman. Uh, just outside of Goose Bay within the school district.
021Um, I was originally gonna complain a lot, but I'm not going to. Um, I'm here to to because of the issue with uh Northwest Fitness and Henry Nolini's gym. Could you speak just a little louder, please? Okay. I'm I'm here because of uh Northwest Fitness and Henry Delini's gym and um he was just arrested and there's a situation unfolding there. Um a lot of the details I've heard are disgusting and alarming. Um, but I don't I don't really want to it's not the time and place, but I just wanted to throw it out to anybody who wanted to discuss that with me and and kind of get to the bottom of it. Um, you know, hopefully something like that never happens again. But part of making sure that never happens again is understanding how it
022happened in the first place. Um, I just want to have a constructive conversation about it. A lot of the again, a lot of the details that I'm hearing are are alarming. So, um, other than that, uh, I'm also interested in in what's going on with this property, um, and specifically the old nature trail. Um, I'd be very interested in helping turn that into a nature trail again and, uh, bring it back as an asset to the community. So, if you guys know anybody who's interested or if you're interested yourself, um, I also heard there was an idea of putting in like a community garden back there. That would be incredible. um stuff like that. So, thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. And next is Toby Renau. Did I say that last?
023Uh appreciate you guys seeing me again. Uh for those who don't know who right now head baseball coach Marshfield upon like a request by the board last month I obtained the proposal for the tping of the infield. Um unfortunately I wasn't able to obtain it early enough to get on the agenda. So 3 minutes really isn't enough to cover it. Um but I would just like to let you guys know that I obtained all the information community impact statements um everything along those lines as well. uh imagery full numbers sets and everything needed to possibly step forward with it. We uh unfortunately nothing has changed in the last month and I am doing this without the support that I expected. So hopefully we can meet and move forward with it. I figure it out. I
024appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. I I would like you to consider um trying to get on the agenda of the facilities committee and I just looked at the upcoming meetings. There's no date here for facilities. Do we have a date for the facilities committee? We do. Um, it is it it wasn't on there because we had in the past went to every other month we do a tour of a facility and we just got a request to to move it to a facilities meeting for this month in June. I just found out about that today. Um, so I did send it's the first Thursday of the month at 9:00 a.m. First Thursday of June at 900 a.m. So that would be like the fifth or sixth something. Let me see. I can
025tell you that. Can you put him on? I will not be able to attend. I have to be HSC every Thursday for my wife's chemotherapy treatments. So, I will find another if possible. All right. I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, speech and debate team. Hello. Uh, I'm Josh Sherman and I am the Marshfield speech and debate coach. Earlier this year, we got an informal invitation to come talk to you and well, we like to talk. So, uh, I've got four outstanding team members here today to talk to you just real briefly about the program. Uh, speech and debate is really four different activities. It's competitive acting, competitive speaking, debate, and mock congress. And they're going to talk with you a little bit about their specialty area. Uh each one's going to represent one of those
026four areas. And I'm just going to talk a little bit about what the activity means to that. So I'm just going to turn it over to Mr. Charlie Hatch first. Thank you, Charlie. All right. I'm Charlie Hatch. I do mock Congress. We just call it Congress. So that's where we act like the US Congress, like the Senate, like House of Representatives. And so we create laws and then we debate those laws. We give speeches for the laws, against the laws, and question each other about the laws. And so really what um Congress has meant to me, it's been uh like at the state tournament where I went to for Congress, it was incredible just uh seeing the um the really smart people there, the really um the really good debaters, people who could just create
027speeches just on the spot. Very impressive. So it was really cool doing that. It's been really cool doing speech and debate. um being able to learn how to debate, how to research so much. Um and so really that's what it's been so cool doing speech and debate for that. So yeah, I have a question. Yes. when you're doing the um do you get to choose which side that you argue for or are you just assigned like if you're for or against or so with Congress you get to create your own laws and so you can so you can decide that you want to give a speech based on that supporting that speech and and then you can give speeches that are against other people's laws. Yeah. So, are do you have a political aspirations? Uh,
028no. I'm gonna say you do have the handbook down. I was watching. Did they teach you that? Have you have you found that the skills of researching and everything have helped you with other classes also? Oh, definitely. Uh, creating speeches for for case for cases. It's just Yeah, it's been Yeah, it's been very helpful. And have you met Arie Robin? He was on lock congress which is a lot same very and then I was on US on the state house and senate. Anytime there's anything I can help you with. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hi y'all. Uh my name is Ty Bzer. Um and I'm here representing the acting side of speech and debate. And uh it's necessarily I I'd say address especially in the name you know speech and debate. Acting is not
029really in there. Um but it's okay because it is a integral part of speech and debate that many people including me enjoy. And basically it can be humorous, dramatic, both, neither. It can it is usually includes a 10-minute long speech with a 30 second grace period where you perform and also provide an intro. And that intro is the only thing that you specifically write and you're trying to find a theme. You're explaining the basic elements of the story without revealing too much. And overall acting in speech debate for me has been very powerful and very empowering to do because it it gave me a passion that I didn't have before and something to look forward to almost every single day. Um it has its ups and downs, but overall speech and debate has been so
030amazing for me. I I've gotten so much better at my public speaking. I've got so much better at communication in general really and it's also helped me with my English classes where I have to you know extract themes and metaphors and such from other texts. Um speech and debate also uh and this isn't just acting but it's really amazing to see many more people than you would just without the extracurricular because you get to go and see many places not only across the state but uh across the US. I mean, last year I made it to nationals somehow in one of my acting events and we got to go to Iowa. Um, and it was eye opening. I I mean, I'd never been that far away from home and the fact that this extracurricular gave
031me that opportunity made me feel so warm inside. You you know what I mean? Um, but yeah, that's that's my side of speech in a bay. And uh, thank you for having me here. Any questions? acting even. So what kind what you just act it out? Yeah. So basically you perform a script or a play. Um you can dance, you can sing. Uh it's mainly in duo. Uh my favorite acting event is two people. Um the restrictions are no props, costumes, can't look each other in the eye, and you can't touch each other. Yeah, it's quite a few restrictions. It makes it difficult but really like challenging in a good way, you And then somebody's got to debate that acting scene. So basically we have a judge who um ranks all the actors or performances
032in the round um you know to see who wins or who to so they used to call it humorous interpretation and yeah there's humorous interpretation, dramatic interpretation, dual interpretation and uh some people like say that uh program or oral interpretation is another form of acting. It's not actually uh as recognized, but it definitely is, you know, acting within it. Wow. Are you doing like a monologue or do you have to write it? Sometimes you got to pick one that is published, right? Um and it can be a monologue that's already published. Okay. And it can be it can totally be a monologue or it can be like a bunch of different characters. And when you switch between characters, it's called popping and it's difficult but really fun. Um you done popping? Yes. Yes, I have.
033Is it part of walking? Any more questions? You're aging yourself. I will just say that if you have never seen a really good humorous interpretation. You're missing something. I know. Yes. on on the NSDA website there is and I believe on YouTube there is like um final rounds for the national tournament and I would suggest going there to see interpretations uh and various other events. They're so entertaining. It looks like it sounds great. Thank you so much. Thank you very much guys. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Thank you. Hi my name is Felicia. I am the team captain along with my very humble teammate Ty. I am up here to talk to you about speech events which is a very you know pivotal part of speech and debate. There's a lot of variety
034to speech events. There's the ones that you'd obviously think about like an informational speech or an argumentative speech. However, there are events that are almost like standup comedy. There are events where we kind of put on a news broadcaster and talk about modern events. Persuasive speeches. You can have something persuasive, but you can also have speeches where you talk about personal, social, political, interpersonal issues that you're passionate about. And there's just a lot of variety about what we do in speech events and how you can share your passions that aren't necessarily just arguing a topic or teaching someone about something. Speech and debate has been really incredible to me. I'm lucky enough to have been on the team for three years now. Now I'm in 11th grade, so I'm a junior and I'm very lucky
035to have another year left to do this activity. And I am just incredibly grateful that I um am here. I moved from Arizona and in Arizona speech and debate was not an option at the school I would have been going to. I was very hesitant to join, but my mother forced me into it. Three months in, I almost quit, but my coach told me I wasn't allowed to, which thank goodness because I cannot imagine where I would be today without it. I three and a half years ago could never stand here before you all and have this conversation or talk about something that I enjoy so much and yet here I am today. Um it obviously teaches us a lot of skills about how to research, how to perform, how to communicate with people, how
036to write that, um integrate themselves into all of the rest of our classes academically and socially regardless of if we realize it or not. And it has provided me many academic benefits that you know sometimes I don't even realize but in hindsight if I was not in this activity I do not know what I would be doing or what I would have lined up for me in the future. Speech and debate has done a lot for me personally, socially and it's really just given me a community and given me a lot of skills that I never would have imagined myself having back four years ago, three and a half years ago. and I'm really grateful that it's an activity that's offered in our school and that our community supports so much. Are there any questions
037I can answer for you guys about it? Wow. So, unlike the previous person who had to use other people's material, you have to write your own, right? Yes. It's it's a lot. We're, you know, we write uh in English classes, we write essays. um speeches. We write uh usually a five or six paragraph essay that's about five and a half pages and memorize it. Usually ends up being between 9 to 11 minutesish, 10 and a half minutes. And it does have to be our own material. We pick a topic. We pick the direction we want to go with it. We have to be very particular about the language we use and the message we're trying to convey and being objective and kind to our audiences and different perspectives. and we talk about, you know, our
038passions or what's going on around the world or, you know, whatever it happens to be. But definitely we write it and there's a lot of uh attention and detail that goes into the pieces that we create and then have to memorize to share. And you have you have competitions at Marshall High School sometimes where you need judges who would love to. Yes, we have an upcoming tournament this next fall. Um, we didn't have one at Marshfield this year, but we did have one in Bandon. And we usually have at least one locally in our season year, and we will be having one in the fall. And we do usually meet judges. Um, they usually end up being parents because that's what we can get. But if any of you have interest in getting involved with
039this activity or in seeing the impact it has on our community, we would love to have you guys come as judges. Oh, go ahead. Oh, so do you invite other schools? Is that how that works? Yes. We have a website called Tab Room where we can post tournaments and other schools in the area can come to our tournaments. And obviously there are specific like sections where if we're having a district tournament to qualify to OSAA state, only Bandon, Northbend, Coke can come. But there are a lot of tournaments that like OSU hosts where everyone can go to that tournament within Oregon. And sometimes we even get uh high schools from outside of Oregon. We get Washington schools or California schools to come over. So it's pretty like all engaging and a lot of the time
040we can collect people from all around Oregon to come and do it with us. I love this. This is this has been great. Such an honor. I do. Any other questions? I'm not talking to D. No, I was talking to her. I was saying I love this. This is great. My question for you is you said that coach said you couldn't quit. Is that coach here tonight or No. Charmin is our coach this year and he has been really phenomenal. Two years ago our coach at the time was Kayla Crook and she was winding down at the end of her um coaching time but she said I was not right there. Is that the one you said you couldn't two or three months in and I was like, I don't think I can do this.
041And she was like, you barely you haven't even been to a tournament yet. You're not allowed to quit. That's amazing. Good job. Good job to you. My bad. Which speech events do you participate in? I mostly do inform, which uh is like classically teaching someone. Uh I really like it because it's very much of a creative outlet. We pick a topic that may be already well known about or not so well known and we explain it more in depth, but we also get boards that we could to talk with and it's very like artistic and how we present and how we move around and I that's what I do. I really enjoy it. Would you ever consider going into teaching? Um, my mom is a teacher and I respect teachers very much because my mom
042is a teacher, but I do not think it's a career for me. Nicely put. I like how eloquent that both of my parents are teachers and I couldn't do it. Sometimes it's something that runs the family. Like your grandparent was a teacher and your mom was a teacher, but it is not in the future for me. Good for knowing that. And thank you to your him very much. Yes, he's been really incredible this year and we obviously would not be here right now if it weren't for him. So, yes. Is there anything else? Any other questions? I just one quick question. I do. So, is it like I should probably know but like do you have like a speech and debate one two and then it graduates all the way up or it's just speech
043and debate and I'm a senior and I can jump right in the thoughts. Um, it kind of gets complicated because it depends on the individual. We do have open speech and debate and novice speech and debate where if this is your first year doing it and you haven't had a whole lot of time to work on your skills or practice performing or like gain those um, abilities yet, you can go into a group of other kids who are not as well experienced. And sometimes you do get junior or seniors who've never been on a team before who are competing against freshmen. Um but a lot of the time we try to encourage older kids who you know just have been alive for longer in school for longer to be in the open and competing because
044also open competing uh you're up against you know the best of the best and you're going to learn the most by being against other really talented kids. So there are, you know, there's novice and there's open and you can do either kind of based on where your skill set is, but after a year of being in speech and debate, you should move on to being an open if you've been a novice previously because it is just the best way to gain skills. Is there a class at the high school or you'd have to have to correct it right now? There is a class at the high school. We've been very lucky to still have a class and we've had one for a long time now. We have a class and we have a club and
045we also have a middle school speech in debate. So some of our se some of our kids are getting involved as early as seventh grade. So by the h the time that they hit uh high school, they've already honed in on some of those like researching skills, writing skills, speaking skills, which is setting some of our newest students up for a lot of success. Can you teach that as well? Yes. And they come up from the high from the junior high up to the high school. They do. The high school offers just a tremendous amount of great. Wow, that's amazing. Thank you for that. Anything else? You're going to go far. Wonderful. Are you gonna be a lawyer? No, I want to be a doctor. All right. Um, hi everyone. My name is Wade Hawker.
046I'm a sophomore. Um, this is my first year doing speech and debate and I'm here representing the other half of the name, uh, debate. Um, when it become when it comes to debate, uh, uh, it's become a huge part of my life going from tournament to tournament, from bus ride to bus ride, meeting all these great people from around everywhere in Oregon. Um, when it comes to bait, there's also uh different types you could do where all of them have their own differences and benefits. Um, this year, Marshfield has focused almost solely on public forum, uh, which is a partner event, um, where two teams of two go up against each other. Uh but uh most of our debaters in most of our debaters in uh this year hope to branch out into different forms
047of debate. Um uh overall Marshfield has really made speech and debate a uh bigger thing over this past year. And having that sort of uh push to do the program has done wonders for me. And being on the program itself has done wonders for me. Meeting all my great teammates and uh working on my own uh social anxiety and my own speaking. Um definitely at the beginning of the year, even though I'm a little nervous now, uh I wouldn't even be able to speak to all of you. um at any level. Um but yeah, overall it's taught me just so much for myself and um the connection I've had with my teammates. So, thank you. Uh is there any questions? Look at you. I just want to give you a hug right now. Is this
048something you had ever considered before going into? Um, there wasn't really uh I mean my mom had done speech and debate prior and uh that was kind of the final push to get me in this year. Last year I was actually doing journalism which definitely was not the right uh not the right thing for me but uh this is definitely something I want to keep doing. Yeah, you're clear. You're precise. You got this now. You're doing great. You said there's you guys are you focused on public forum and what were the other forums that you can private forum public forum and uh there's other ones like Lincoln Douglas which is like public forum but only one person and focus on more philosophical stuff. Uh parliamentary I don't know anything about that one so don't ask
049me. SPAR, um, big questions and policy debate. Um, and I believe that's all the different types. They do cross. Uh, yeah. What did you say? Cross X. I was wondering that's Oh, cross X is more of kind of a thing. I don't know if that was a de event prior, but uh it is a thing you do in your debates where you cross-examine each other. and after you give your speeches. So, and if people haven't looked at the banners up on the gym, we've had state championship. So, you'll see debate champ state championship. Thank you. So, do you um your debate and somebody else you both did speech and then tie a do acting? Do you ever cross between those? Yeah. So, other people do acting. Oh, well, you mean like people doing multiple types?
050But do you ever do anything other? Um, I do a speaking event called radio. This year that was more kind of just a filler for me because uh my coach pushed me to do uh two events. Um, but I plan next year to do possibly even an acting event like DI. Um, but did but uh debate is probably one of those that I'm going to stick through. DI uh a dramatic interpretation. Um, it's one of the acting events. Uh, have you guys seen a few good men? [Laughter] Watch it. And if you guys do that on there, if you memorize that and do that, I don't know if that would count. I mean, yeah. Actually, I'm serious. There's been quite a few um movie scripts from last year and this year. Uh like there was
051oh last year the Lorax made it to the national stage. Our national our national championship tournament winds up with a lot of animated movie scripts and just movie scripts in general especially you know the top 300 from uh the United States as a whole is usually what ends up competing in a specific event. And especially in um dramatic interpretation, dual interpretation and gamers interpretation. We've wound up with a lot of movie scripts, animated film scripts, sometimes even standup comedian shows where they take the script and that ends up being the piece that they memorize and perform. Oh my goodness, that's so fun. Yeah, you good men watch it. The Jack Nicholson part was I know slams that movie. Really great. Really great. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. All right. Oh no. Okay,
052it's me. I did not read speech and debate. In fact, I would have cried if I had to do that and so this is a group to follow. They are wonderful speakers. I I can start giving you like my tweets and you're welcome to start giving them on my behalf. Um so let's start with April enrollment or May 9th enrollment rather. um you will see a rather dramatic decrease of 50 students between what I presented last month and this month. Um the primar primarily those are active students. They were active in April but were moved to inactive in May. I am not sure the reasoning. Um I'm going to work with Shelly to kind of template who those students are where where they might touch on. Um the most dramatic decrease was actually the junior
053high which um was surprising because we often hear um they're a really big group in a really small building um in speaking and communicating with Floyd. It sounds like students that we have involved in our athletics get marked in our synergy and we're getting enrolled even if they did not come to our actual school. So say you were a charter school student but you were participating in the junior high athletics, you were listed as an active enrollment on there. Um and so Floyd went through his staffing through work with secretaries. We do believe the number on here is accurate based on the number of students they actually have in classes day to date. It's just going to need to be one of those dirty data audits, right? Um we there also is just fluctuation in
054the term. So no ADA for those kiddos that are just attending the sports events. There's no ADM. No. Or ADM. Yeah. So um Okay. Yeah. That's crazy that they got marked as you know, they they still are enrolled, right, in order to participate. And so, it's just going to be one of those things that we have to audit pretty closely to make sure that they're consistently pulling at the time of the month because they could so quickly switch from active to inactive for a variety of reasons. Um, but the number the 407 was accurate as of May 9th. Okay. Um, all in all, it looks like AYA had a decrease of six students. The high school had a decrease of 14. Um, Sunset had a decrease of one. Meloma increase of one. Madison increase of
055one. Um, East Side decreased two. And then you'll see that the online pay 8 actually increased to six. So, um, for a lot of those students, they're they're leaving the brick and mortar building and getting enrolled in the online K8. they were already our students, those six. So, um it is a sharp decrease, but it is closer to what we were anticipating for ADM and what we budgeted on. So, it hurts my gut when I'm pulling the report, but I think there just needs to be some better consistency and when the reports get pulled and what is entered into Synergy. It's hard. There's a lot of hands and data is challenging. Does anyone have any questions on enrollment? Do we know um I know we've been putting stuff now on social media how like kindergarten
056are we getting parents starting to inquire? We opened online registration for kindergarten. I want to say over two weeks ago last week um the passport to kindergarten was May 1st. Okay. Uh so you could enroll when you went there. Uh I think we are anticipating somewhere around 80 members at each at each building for the next year. Any other questions on enrollment? All right. Now on to the financials. I apologize for not bringing them to you guys sooner to review. I was getting these done this afternoon. We It is close to the end of the school year. The state changes a lot of things and gets you a lot of things multiple times if they make revisions. And so this is the most upto-date through OD and state school funds uh presentation this afternoon. So
057this is the most accurate data that we have. We are looking at the general fund um state school fund. We are anticipated to receive our full allocation at this time. We are anticipating receiving over budget by 200,000 from local sources. Those are just miscellaneous local. So it could be interest that we've earned on uh funds in the LG counts. It's fees that we charge to grants for the administration of there's a variety of things wrapped into local sources. And then intermediate sources we are expected to be under budget by about 24,000. Those are um our county school fund that the LGIP and Cous County tax system puts out. They just are behind a month and so historically we would have received that second payment of family taxes last month but um they are behind and
058so we are actually anticipating receiving our full allocation. We were over budget in the beginning fund balance by approximately $400,000. However, you will see an instruction that the system is um forecasting that we will be over budget by about $387,000 in instruction. That's because we've done a number of large expenditures the last couple of Mays and Junes and we are not doing that this year. We are really um focusing on completing the projects that we have going right now rather than starting anything in May and June. So, we just we're trying to wrap up what we have but not start any large projects like we have in the last few years. Other than that, we are right on target for the general fund. Does anyone have any questions in the general fund? Okay, on to
059special revenue funds. Um, this is again our grant funds. So, that's state and federal. This is our student body funds. This is also our pass through funds. So, we budget large amounts of money in here so that we can spend our grant allocations as they come in. You will see that the system is projecting and forecasting that I will overspend in support services by um $1.1 million. That is because the it's because the miloma HVAC last year we did a large journal entry in June to move those expenses from capital projects into Esser and it threw off my entire um historical trends. And so it's expecting that I will send a ton of money in June this year that I will not anticipate spending. It's all grant funded. We can only spend what the grant
060allows. So we will not over budget. However, I might not have budgeted wide enough because we did have to spend all of our carryover this year because um federal and state grants no longer allow carryover in the next fiscal year. So, we have to spend all of last year's carryover in the current year's allocation by June 30th. This is grant money. Grant grant money. Historically, we'd be able to take SIA and carry it over into all the way through September. We can no longer do that. So, we had additional that we had to spend this year, but we will not have that after June 30th of this year. So, I will be monitoring this pretty much daily until our June 9th board meeting, and we will likely do an appropriation transfer like we do every
061June to reallocate some of these expenses because we will not be spending um $2.5 million in the enterprise and community service function because we don't have that grant. So we can adjust some function allocations as necessary so that we don't pull over budget but we are we are on track to spend all of our grant funds which is actually the harder part. We spend all of the grant funds by June 30th is a little challenging. Yes. So are we able to use some of those grant funds for remod remodeling this building? We are not. Okay. So I figured that roof or anything? Nope. They all have very targeted uses and um supplement and supplant rules. And so we have to be very intentional about how we spend the grants rather than just moving these expenses
062that we would already have to spend down the grant funds. And so we're doing um a really intensive week training for staff who have not taken the CPS and the NCI trainings. We offered that last August and then we're offering it again in June and again in August. So our staff who work with students are able to take that extra training that they're not typally able to take while they're in school days. Um so we're offering that in June and I believe in August. I don't know the dates, but that is the way that we're choosing to spend down some of those funds. Um any other questions on special revenues? Okay. Debt service looks great. We will be paying our last debt service payment for the year on June 1st. Um we have two more
063payments for the PERS bond fund. The PERS UAL bond fund. It expires in December of this year. So I'm really looking forward to not helping that significant payment each December and June, but um rather just be paying the GO bonds from 2018 and 2020. And then on to capital projects. So, it looks great. Thank Thanks to your guys' supplemental budget approval in March. We have made significant progress on this building. You can't actually tell from if you stepped outside right now. They covered everything up today. I was really hoping you'd get to see the beautiful lights and all the things, but you're welcome to take a tour. Like my my office is done. We the business office has moved in. So, if you want to go look um it looks great. It will be done
064by June 1st which will allow us to spend and pay all of the invoices in the fiscal year. We we are under budget. Um we have LMA has done a great job of sticking to the budget that I gave rather half mandibly without knowing any of the costs and estimates for the building project. Kind of gave him a rough number. thought well given you know a buffer of a 30% piece within the original budget. Thank goodness it's made tremendous um it's made tremendous impact on the building. We've also been able to update the data. So, it's actually functional as this is this is um how do they explain it? This is like the the hub for the district, but all of the data and Wi-Fi actually comes out of this building to the junior high,
065the high school, maybe east side of Madison, east side in the junior high, I don't know. But we were able to invest in the data here so that we could have better usage, but so that our schools could also. It's been great. Um, we don't have any other projects currently happening. We're going out for a bid for the ADA accessible bathrooms at the high school, which was a tier one long range project. I believe we're going out for a bid at the beginning of June to hopefully start in the beginning of July. We are looking at renovating the little pirates bathrooms at Mil. Um, I know there's other various projects happening. At sunset they're updating the lighting and the painting over the summer. I know there's additional work happening at Milner and all those will
066be budgeted in next fiscal year but this fiscal year will be under budget and our projects will be completed by June 30. Thank goodness. Does anyone have any questions on capital projects? There's probably lots of questions on capital projects themselves and that would be a low marine question but in terms of the budget he's under budget so I'll take that. Yes. And then lastly I have a resolution for you all. I'm sorry I didn't have it in my packet. It up. Perfect. So this is a resolution for this year and next to increase the adult meal prices. Historically, you guys have done this every June to update the meal prices for the next fiscal year, but it was not done last June. I have the resolution sitting in my work papers. I have it printed
067with the like resolution number and everything, but it doesn't look like it actually got to probably to the board. So, um, when we had our administrative review for food service, she requested that we update the adult meal prices for the current year moving forward, and then for next year. So, we would be increasing the price of the adult meals from $4.27, 27 cents, which is what the price has been for the last two fiscal years, and increasing it to $4.99, which is um it's an it's a calculation based on the commodities value and the food exchange from Sedexo. So, this is we're essentially not making any money, but we are not supplementing and supplementing. Um so, it would be increasing adult meals to $4.99 for lunch and to 2.84 84 for breakfast. Um, as well
068as increasing the adult milk prices to 80 cents. Um, currently the district pays for the oneoff milks for students. That's something the board has chosen to do the last couple of budget years. Um, and so only bills us for student milks for like the actual dollar that she pays for them. But for adults, we we plan to increase the price from 60 cents to eight if approved by you guys. And that's started the beginning of this year. Is that It'll just start moving forward. I'm not going to go back. It'll just start moving forward. Okay. It will just look like it started the year before. No, because it's dated. The resolution will be dated and we've already had the administrative review for the year. So part of our plan to correct it was that we
069would bring this to the board and adopt it and it would be implemented in Yes, Arie. I was just going to make a motion. Thank you. I would move that we uh approve resolution number 202502. I'll second that. Is there any further discussion on this resolution? Arie, Kevin, I I I motion passes. Thank you. Real quick, do we know approximately how many adult meals get served every year? I would say literally less than 100. I get deposits for adult lunches once every two months and they're like 20 24 students. It's not a significant money maker. I wouldn't imagine people. It's actually um there's two schools. I get it at high school and I get it at Sunset. I don't I don't get any deposits from other schools, but then you have to test out their
070lunches. Thank you. Okay. Okay, we're up to Dr. Ainssworth. Perfect. Yeah, I wanted uh before we jump into this as we were listening to the students who Mr. Tyman's gone. That was outstanding to listen to I mean this is why we're here, right? Because of the kids. But I kept thinking they said a word over and over and over. Did you guys pick up on the word all of them said? They said the word research. Every one of them said their word research and I I'm going to make a point. Um AP seminar is not speech and debate but the skills that they are learning in speech and debate are equivalent to the skills that students will learn in AP Seminar which are research taking a position speaking not in a not a competitive debate
071environment but that class is going to require kids to take a position based on evidence and research. Yep. So, as I'm listening to these kids, these speakers, I'm thinking about all the other students are going to have access to those kinds of skills. So, that was that was awesome. Um, the agenda, I'll skip through the first couple slides. Again, we always want to keep our mission front and center, our board goals. I do want to connect the dots here real quick to what Marina was talking about in terms of Blossom Gulch and Madison. just just for to make note I think public record is we are moving here because of that fourth goal. We're moving here because of the board's goal to develop a long-term solution for alternative education. And in all that we've talked
072about this being here is what's best so we can expand alternative education. I know I've I've talked to a couple of you offline. The voucher movement, private school movement, charter school movement is not going anywhere. If anything, it's going to accelerate. And I really want to make sure we create an environment in a district where our parents and our kids have choices so they don't walk outside of the district, they have choices within the school district. Whether that's traditional brickandmortar, that's hybrid, that's destinations, that's resource link, uh that's lighthouse, that's that's full online. The more choices that we have have as a system, the more parents we're going to attract because that's that's the world. People want choice. Now, we're never going to let you opt out of number one. That's a non-negotiable, right? You
073you have to take a language arts class. You have to take US history. But we want to give our families and our parents choice within our system. If we don't do that, we will be behind. Right? So your guys, this is an outstanding goal because this is really forward thinking. And so this this presentation isn't about alternative education, but I think when we have an opportunity to talk publicly, it's really important for me to explain the reason why this has happened. It's we're not just coming down here because we want to come down here. In fact, I like the the building up on the hill. Right. So, just some context. There we go. Okay. uh we've been talking about this uh the floor and I'll go into more detail this this summer when we do
074some work sessions this year as we've spent a lot of time in clarity alignment discussion about who we're going to be who are we going to be in the KS Bay school district there's a lot of great things happening prior to just things we're showing um uh lot of really good things happening at our schools with our teachers and our admin but who are we going to be what are we going to guarantee parents what's the floor You guys have heard me say solid floor porest ceiling. This is the floor. So it doesn't matter where you're at. What classroom, what school, Miloma, Sunset, East Side, Madison, Marshfield Junior High, doesn't matter. This is the floor. And I I won't go into a ton of detail in terms of what we're talking about with the floor,
075but for example, everybody receives a guaranteed and viable curriculum. Whether I'm Mrs. Crane's class or another class across town. I I receive the same researchbased curriculum. Now, Mrs. Crane's methods might be different than across town, which is fine. That's the art of teaching. But these things are guaranteed high yield teaching practices, access to essential standards. Some people call them power standards. Uh access to responsive academic support. I'm struggling. I get support now. I don't get support the end of the semester. I get support. Now, the same thing applies to behavior. I get behavior support. I get access to enrichment or acceleration. If I'm a kid who needs acceleration, I don't we don't wait. I get acceleration. And that's just not our tag kits. Access to an outstanding teacher in every classroom. Outstanding as access to
076an outstanding principal in every building. And all our students have options when they graduate. We're not there. This is aspirational, but this is the floor. All kids in Cous Bay and all parents have access to this Goosebay Province. Okay, sprint goals. We are finishing. So, we've had a series of sprint goals throughout the year. Our staff, our principles have done an amazing job and really moved the needle in several areas. We took a break because you can't sprint forever. So, we got a little reprieve. We're at the end. We have four weeks left. Well, three weeks and change and we're going to go into our last sprint. So, our next sprint is we're 90% daily attendance. We're striving for a 90% passing rate. Be great if they passed every class, but 90% um would would
077work at this point. Require 60 minutes of math adaptive software. We're seeing great gains in our in our math minutes and learning. I dedicate 120 minutes per day of reading, writing, and discussion. Our speech and debate kids are an illustration of this. And commit to achieving a 100% fouryear graduation rate. I don't like when people say 90% graduation, 80% graduation. Who are you going to leave out? Right? So, let's be aspirational. Let's try and get all of them across the finish line. Here's an example of a sprint goal. This is what Madison and East Side do. It's very elementary, right? they they uh get on Canva and you know it looks like I'm definitely elementary teacher principal but that's their attendance and that those are their math goals and the elementary principles post that weekly
078and then they celebrate I'm in the email I love it they'll celebrate the teachers 100% attendance 70% minutes 70 minutes of math and so we're we're celebrating the wins our passing rate is a sprint goal so this is Mar Marshville Junior High this is grade distribution by percentage. This is something we track routinely because passing rate is a a really really important data point to track in terms of on-time graduation. So you can see the the allocation of grades a a what is that 39% A's. Yes. And we're trying to get to 10%. by department at Marshville Junior High. I like to say that our F rate is slowly headed heading in the right direction or our passing rate. Here's by ethnicity when we move to Marshville High School. So, their passing rates, ninth grade
079is is too high for my liking. 10th grade is too high. 12th grade, that's kind of the sweet spot. You know, we like to be a little lower, but we're at the 10% benchmark, but we have to figure out what's going on with our ninth and tth graders at the high school. 34% of them have at least one F. That's that's really high. We take 10 kids, we put them in a classroom, let alone a round, four of them have an F for every 10 kids. That's too high. We've got to figure that out. Yeah. This is passing rate uh by department. You can see most of our FS are are in our four core. And then again passing right passing rates by ethnicity and we can come back to any of these for questions.
080I would like to say I'm I'm I'm really excited to see our American and the Alaskan Native uh F rate freight has gone down considerably in the last uh the last month month or two and then we transition to timeline. So spring summer blossom gulch move as the students me Mrs. Zed mentioned AP testing is going on right now. State testing is happening. Master schedule development is happening. Really important that our master schedules reflect our priorities. Memorial Day coming up. The last day of school is June 12th. And then just lots of projects. LMA team maintenance facilities will be extremely busy this summer. And then good things are good things. As mentioned, Mr. Bodie Loots broke the legend the legend Steve Reontain by eight I think 8/10 of a second. I was there. It was
081pretty amazing time. In fact that the timer electronic timer broke. So there was all this suspense. It was like five minutes and they had to go up and and figure out if he actually broke the record. Really cool. Super happy for Bodie. I think he's going on to Western Oregon University. And then we have Miss She's tired of us celebrating but too bad I don't care. Right. Cara Davidson, do you guys know was named elementary principal of the state and this is a reflection of her team. Great team in East Side, those teachers, those support staff. Obviously, she's the person getting all the recognition, but it's also recognition of us, right? It's recognition of the school district and all the great things that are happening and the momentum with with with our team. Super proud
082for Cara. Uh Mr. Crook's team, they're just they're knocking the cover off the ball. Again, they went to Lynn Benton. I'm not going to go through all the awards, but there were a lot of first place, a lot of second place in manufacturing and welding. Some kids want some super cool welding hats which are expensive but these are great experiences for experiences for these kiddos right to go outside and they're getting certs and and maybe some of these kids want to go into manufacturing welding the reading rope if you get a chance our second edition of the Kousbay podcast David has been working on this this one is on the science of reading we've been talking about having a podcast we just don't have the the time or the personnel to do it so we've
083been playing around with AI It's pretty cool if you get a chance. It's actually a conversation between two individuals and it sounds like a conversation and they're talking about the Kuspay School District and and the importance of sites. I believe it's on our Facebook page, right, Dave? It is. It's also on the superintendent page of our website. Yeah. Really cool. And then the scoreboard is up. Our baseball coach is here. Finally have uh Mr. Ed's donation. It's nice to see that up. We have some new assignments. Mr. Scoville, Officer Scoville is going to be our safety and security coordinator in the district and but based in out of Marshville High School. Carly Ainsworth is going to go back to Madison, experienced administrator, season, and Amelia is going to go over to East Side. So, we're
084going to have some really strong administrators at the elementary level. And then Chad Scriven, his first admin post. He's going to be out at Sunset. He's a currently a teacher and coach at Marshall High School. Excited for Chad and what he can bring to our district in a different capacity. Any questions? So Carly was doing K6 Elementary. She'll still do Little Pirates. Okay. Yep. So, she's going to do she was doing Little Pirates before, but not K6. Yeah. And what else was she doing? Well, she was doing K6 K6 Educate Elementary Education and Little Pirates. Now, she's going to be at Madison and do Little Pirates. Pirates. Yeah. Okay. And then we're having Lloyd. Lloyd's going to do 712 curriculum instruction assessment. So secondary and then he's doing the K6 that that is to be
085determined. We have to figure that out. Okay. Yeah. Carly going back to school leaves a little bit of a hole in our game in terms of Okay. Yeah. We've got to figure out how to pick that up. Y I have a couple of questions just about like our upbright and interventions. For me it's really clear what the interventions are. I've heard them be talked about um in the elementary level. Yeah. But I I'm not sure that I have a grasp on what the interventions are at the junior high and high school level and how effective the interventions are. Um because the F rate I I think I heard in there maybe it was getting a little bit better. are our interventions working and and and next to that one of the questions that I had
086before is I know that sometimes we make kids wait who have FS to do credit recovery until their junior year and I've never understood that and there might be some data behind that but I just am curious interventions to me would be okay if they have an F their freshman year let's intervene get them back on track. So, I'm just curious like exactly what are the interventions and and do we have any data or information on what those are are working? Yeah, it's a great question. I will say generally speaking, not just Cous Bay, but you could go to almost any school district. Elementary people are better at interventions than secondary, right? But that's no longer an excuse because MTSS has been around for for years now, probably decades, right? the things that are the
087the interventions are in place at Marshville High School. It has an advisory. It's AVID. It's an AVID school. It's proficiency based learning. We have tutors in the morning. We have tutors in the afternoon. Everything that you would say needs to be in place for interventions is there. I could I could theorize. I don't know if I want to do that publicly on on why. Sometimes it's grading practices will create some of those discrepancies. Uh, I know that Marshfield High School and that staff are digging in and trying to figure out why they have so many Fs. Uh, if I was to give you some longitudinal data, which I didn't do, it is headed the positive thing is headed in the right direction. They are recognizing it and there's some leaders within that staff are going,
088"Hey guys, we got to we got to figure this out." But it's it's too high for my liking or most any of our our leaders. We shouldn't have we shouldn't have 30% of kids failing courses. And then you can you can connect that to our graduation rate. If I'm going to be transparent, our graduation rate is one of the lowest graduation rates in account. So all those things are connected. Not not executing with fidelity, MTSS, right? Too many kids failing and then having a low graduation rate. None of those are disconnected. And so I can tell you that this question, this conversation is is front and center. We got to get better at it. And and with like the morning and afternoon tutors and and I'm not saying that we have to be, you know,
089the answer to everything, but is there ever transportation issues with that because sometimes kiddos may not be able to get here in the morning or in the afternoon? Is there we do offeration? Yeah, we offer buses for those and we It's a great point. We're trying to have enough options at the secondary level for a kid who can't make it in the morning, a kid who can't stay after school. What you can't do is create an equity and say we if you can't make it in the morning or you can't make it after school, we can't help you. The interventions have to be built in. This should be it could be its own presentation. They have to be integrated throughout the day in classes. And so I said I wasn't going to theorize, but I'm
090going to. We got to get better at tier one interventions. That means you're in my class and you're failing my class. What do I have to do to support them? Right? And we can't just blame attendance. Attendance is is a problem. But we have a lot of kids who do come to school every day. So we are leaning into it as a as I do know when I was when I it was a lot to even know what my kids grade was. So in a timely way to even be able to act, you know, not that was not alwaysful. Yeah. I think we need to create a policy. I'll be train I'll talk to Becky about this. I think break grade books need to be updated weekly for parents and kids. I love that you
091said that just because you can look at your kids grade and think they're doing really good or that they're doing just fine and your kids going to well some of our kids are going to tell us they're doing just fine and roll with that and then next week it's like oh they have math and it's like wait what happened here? You know you last week it was a B or a C. So, um, okay. I the only other question I was just curious about is with the hybrid model and I don't know if this because we talked a little bit about alternative ed and there are we offering a place like if somebody is doing online are they on site somewhere or do we have a place on site or is it mostly kids doing
092that at home and then coming in? So both. So our online kids, we we have a spot spot marshal for those kids. But that's another benefit to moving out of uh Milner Crest is we're going to have support for those kids. So those hybrid kids can come in to Kayla and her team and they get some support or they can just go there because that's that's where they want to work, right? So they're working in more of an asynchronous environment. I want to go back. We are changing. You don't if you fail a course your freshman sophomore year, you don't have to wait till your junior year. Thank you. You're a trio. You're an academic triage. If I go to the emergency room, they don't tell me come back to your home. Yeah. I'm so
093glad to hear that. That always I always wondered. It always bothered me that we didn't just like let's grab that right now. Let's take And do we have I mean I don't know. Is there any like online? Do we have any data for like F rates or anything like that? I would be curious if the kids that are doing a hybrid or some online version if they're having some better success and and kind of that might help answer some things. Okay, I don't have that off the top of my head. Can I get that data? I would be interested in seeing it. Yeah, I'm looking at Kayla right now. She is off. I would just say for online, one thing that you have to keep in in mind is that the kids are working at
094their own pace. And so the data that I get is at the end of like a nine weeks and then the end of the term. Sure. So just see where they're at. Sure. You know, um and so we'll have that in June as to how many students have passed. I have to look at that a little like our egeneuity numbers are higher than most um other schools according to egeneuity like they wanted to use us as a model. So um if I can tell you like 85% pass but yeah we we can get you hard data points and just a reminder right you're part of governance you guys do have the ability and leverage to bring policy forward and say hey we should consider this as a polic and have a conversation. That's all I
095have. Any other questions? So are we having a are we getting money for summer school? It looked like the legisle doing it, but we are 442,000 and we are off of the wait list this year. So, I think we put in an application tomorrow. And so, that's another option for getting kids back on track. Do we encourage that with either? Yeah. Can they also can when kids do summer school? Let's say they didn't get to do the elevated track in English or math or something like that. Could they essentially take something in the summer then to and then put them on that elevated summer school shouldn't just be for kids who are in remediation. It should be kids who want enrichment acceleration. Yeah. And the summer school grant is far more restrictive than it has
096been in in the past. And it is focused on well specifically literacy and other not just enrichment. And so it's it's really focused on in-person instruction. So kids actually being in the classroom. I believe it's 80 consecutive hours. We'll we'll put the the summer school grant uh in the next board so you guys can see the criteria how we were organized. Pardon me. So the only other question I nothing this I I really appreciate all this but we do have a assembly coming up for scholarships if not if everybody doesn't know that and we're giving away like $470,000 in scholarship. 20 of that is for vocational scholarship. So I I think that's a wonderful one to be at to see. Um and have a graduation speaker picked up. Pardon me. Graduation speaker. Have we won
097picked out person from the board? Are you doing that? Uh I'm I was going to ask the board if anyone wanted to do Okay. I was just I I got shook up when you said there's only three weeks left. I thought Oh my gosh. Yeah, things to do between this is this is the last board meeting. That's right. Okay, good. Yeah, I did go meet with Eli though and found out all about facts about the senior class. Okay, good job. The scholarship assembly 120 on Wednesday this Wednesday. Yes, 1:20 at the auditorium this Wednesday. Anyone would like to join. And if you go in the front doors of the auditorium, they have the people coming to visit. They would like them to sit on the left side down front. Yes, of I have just one
098more question. I'm sorry you guys. I know this is long meeting, but um MHS and I know it kind of falls into this maybe, maybe not. Um I've had a lot of parents call me about a schedule change or block scheduling. Has there been anything officially released? Is the schedule changing? and are they going to some zero hours and and if that is the case when it does I guess come out I was just curious if you know that type of scheduling is that are we changing that in anticipation that there's some data behind it that is going to help some of these up rates and different things. So I think when that information comes out parents have a hard time to change start times end times all that good stuff. So maybe if if
099there was some supporting data in those decisions, it would be start start and end times are going to stay the same. Okay. Yeah. Um that's not changing. Um really the the thought process was to because advisory Marshall's a big campus, right? It's spread out. It's really hard to get kids from point A to point B. And so the idea was to push more of the interventions into back to tier one, right? Right? So, if we're both teaching math, then we're taking on the interventions versus h happening advisory. So, it's there's an efficiency component there. And it's a 712 campus, but we really need to think about Marshville Junior High, Marshfield High School as on paper, it's two. They have two different numbers, but really in theory, it's it's one campus. And that helps our middle
100school students because they have access to those those courses. And was there could I read so he said now if there was like a Senate bill that was up that for school starting no earlier than 8:30. Am I crazy or okay the what? Cell phone ban. Yes. That has some traction but it's it's it passed the house. It's in the Senate. I think it's in committee. The other good news in the Senate is um uh the removal of IEP caps which if that passes would be the removal of IEP what caps right now it's capped at 11% of our enrollments. Um but our IEP percentage is significantly higher than that and it would give us weights for all of those additional what is it? Do you know has a good chance it has a good
101chance. Yeah. And I would also Washington uh state has just passed 100% funding for special eds. That's gonna have some impact on we do things after Washington. That's right. That's why I said 17 to 18%. That's rates are one. So Kevin, did you have any questions? No. No. Dave. Adrian. Any any other questions for Justin? Okay, we're going to move along facilities committee. All right. So, at our last board meeting on Monday, April 14th, the two space school board of directors asked our facilities committee to review Mr. Skinner's land swap proposal and report back on our recommendation. So, on May 1st, 2025, our facilities committee reviewed Mr. Skinner's proposal and uh due to our current and previously identified tier 1, two, and three school district uh projects, needs, and assessments, we the facilities committee unanimously
102concluded that we do not recommend moving forward with Mr. Skinner's bus barn land swap proposal. At this time, uh the facilities committee would however like to thank Mr. Skinner for his commitment, his time, and his coming in communication with us. That's it. Okay. Any questions? Hearing none. We're at policy updates, which looks big, but but it's going to be reasonably easy. It's going to be very easy. Um, first of all, are there any perspective policies? any any policies you would like the any board members would like the committee to review? Yes, sir. Uh the proposal of the policy from Dr. Angsworth about grades uh grading some type of policy around that. Oh, updating grade books. Yes. I believe that might be in an existing policy if we haven't deleted it. And it's if I remember
103right, every two weeks or three weeks it's three. Y but yeah we can we can work on that. Anything else? Okay. Okay. Then we will move on to uh first reading for information. I I separated them so you would know there there were no changes to those. We just were they were flagged for review. So we reviewed them. Um then we'll go to first readings for adoption. Those ones had minor changes. Nothing significant. Um, well actually one of them is brand new. It's the loading and unloading policy. It's about a paragraph long. It was just marked as highly recommended and we didn't have it. So I borrowed one from Hillsboro who also uses OSBA um and adopt or adapted that to ours basically whole. Um then we had ACB AR bias incident complaint procedure. We
104added a footnote definition and then adjusted the other footnotes so they all lined up. And then JBL was in or sorry GBL was in poor information, but Adrian pointed out there was a run-on sentence and I'm also going to miss Adrian's keen eye. So we fixed that. We added a period and capitalized the letter. U so that was the only drink to that one. Made no sense whatsoever. No. Um but that was an easy fix. And then uh first readings for deletion. These are all ones that were recommended by OSBA that we delete. Um we're moving the list along. We're trying to get 10 of those in each policy meeting at least of the deletions and then about 10 to 12 of other policies provided depending on how many changes there are. Um so most
105of these have either been migrated into other policies or they're no longer required or needed for the district. Does anyone have any questions on the policy updates? Questions? No. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Adopt interd district transfer numbers for the 202526 school year. Dr. Dustin Ainsworth recommends the following class sizes for interd district transfers. K through 1st 24 students. 2nd through 3rd grade 25 students. Fourth through fifth grade 26 students. 6th through 7th grade 27 students. And 30 students per grade level for 8 through 12. grades 8 through 12. I go ahead and move that we adopt the interic transfer numbers the 2025.6 school year that just presented. Do I have a second? I'll go ahead. I'll second it. Okay. Is there any discussion? So, are we saying that these are the numbers
106of people we would accept? Yes. Yes. Yes. Does it include anybody that if we lose someone, do we get to accept more? Yes. Okay. I just wanted to make Yeah, there's there's a slider there, right? So, the most we can gain is 26 uncertain. Well, it it it generates a conversation. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So how how I would see processing these and why we moved from just saying we'll accept three seventh graders for kindergarteners is in this way I can look at Marina's most recent enrollments and see where the class sizes are at and if they are not at this level we'll continue to accept IDTS until they are and and then that way it does take into account students leaving the district whereas before it didn't do that and we're we're losing more kids
107than we're gaining so we need to be on top of that. I agree. Thank you. And then at any point if Justin wanted to, he could make an exception at any point if it was necessary. Okay. I'd like to say just make note that these class sizes are much smaller than when I was working for principal Arie Robin and I had 30 to 40 kids in every single class and I think I have 410 kids in one class and he said, "Justin, you have this you're a very good classroom manager and he had very high standards for all 42 of them. It is true. You are right. That's me. Okay. Is there any further discussion on the inter district transfer numbers? Nope. Arie. Hi. Kevin. Hi. Diane. Hi. Hi. Kim. Kim. You answered for Diane.
108No. She said I. So did you. Okay. I Adrien. And I say I. So that passes. Okay. A leave of absence request for um a PE health teacher. I'd like to make a motion to consider the leave of absence request for the staff member to approve it. To approve it. I'll second that. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. that do we want to put this employees name into the record? Already in the record? Oh, it's already in the record. Well, that's true. It's It's not in the record. No, it's not public. Yeah. Yeah. It's uh for leave of absence request, you guys get a copy, but we don't publish a copy. Do I put his name in record? Yes. Yes. Go ahead. Gar says yes. Yes. Okay. Um, so do I did we have a
109motion? We did. Motion is second. Okay. Um, can I have a friendly recom uh amendment that we include this gentleman's name in the motion? Blake Centman. I will update my motion. I motioned. That's fine. You second it. Okay. I believe. Okay. So, the motion is to approve the unpaid leave request of Blake Sentman, who is a PE health teacher at Marshfield Junior High School for the first three months of next year. Yep, that's my motion. Okay. Is there any discussion? It's been moved and seconded. I I just have a question just for the for uh for our superintendent if that is in line with their needs that they would also concur. Obviously every time every time they'll leave it creates a potential issue and we're fine with that. We're like all right the problem we
110we we have a plan. We have a plan B so we can we can address to be flexible. We have a plan. Okay. Adrien, I Dave. Hi, Jim. Hi, Diane. Hi, Kevin. Hi, Arie. I chair votes. I This gentleman appreciates his. Okay. He's going to play professional football and coach abroad in Brazil. Okay. Learning Portuguese and not Spanish. Yeah. So there were other Okay. Uh at this point I would like to recognize our two board members who are going to be retiring this year. Um, as the school year draws to a close, we have two dedicated board members who will be concluding their service with us at the end of June. And I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge their significant contributions as Adrien will be out of town for the June meeting. First,
111I want to express our sincere gratitude to Adrien De Leon. For the past 14 years, Adrienne has been an unwavering champion for the Kuspay School District. His commitment has extended far beyond his role as a board member. From ex enthusiastically coaching and assisting our robotics teams to being a constant presence at countless school events, Adrian support for our students and schools has been truly tremendous. We will deeply miss his thoughtful insights, his thorough approach to every matter before us and his consistently pleasant disposition. Adrienne, your dedication has made a real difference to the lives of students here at Goosebay and we want to thank you for your many years of service. Oh, thank you. I I appreciate that very much. Although I will not miss being on the bargaining team. I have to say one
112one of my one of my favorite things and it was many years ago um I volunteered in my kiddos's class to be I believe they were first graders from the school Blossom to the swimming pool for swimming because they didn't have any male parents to help out in the locker room. So did that for a week and then I get a tap on the shoulder from the other first grade teacher said we're doing swimming next week. I feel bad because we don't have any any um dads who are willing to do that or able to do that. And I believe I spent the entire month watching students back for all the first grade teachers and it I mean it was a wonderful experience. Um you know hurry up and get dressed before the teacher comes
113in whether you're dressed or not. And yeah, so lots of memories that I'll definitely cherish. Thank you. Thank you again. Okay. And now I want to recognize David Gals. Since joining the board in 2018, David has brought a valuable perspective to our discussions. We've all benefited from his thoughtful and pertinent questions, his keen eye for data trends, and his grounded sense of realism. David's background in behavioral health has also provided invaluable insights particularly as we navigate the crucial areas of social emotional health for our students. David, your commitment to ensuring our students receive the best possible education has been evident in your contributions and we thank you for your dedicated service to the Kous Bay School District. I I just want to say too I just really have enjoyed being a part of this board.
114This has been one of the best experiences being on this board that I've had. The leadership group many organizations there's a lot of discord and yes my language and this group has maintained a consistent focus on our mission which is to help kids and I really appreciate that and I really appreciated you know working with you all in that time. So, and wishing you all luck in the journey forward, too. With the big smiles on their face, you notice they're just really, but but you guys know where to find me. I need help. I I'm not that far away and I'm certainly willing to kind of help in the areas of my expertise. So, so I thought we had a rule we didn't do punishment. I know. I was like paddles like it's very missed
115here and you know it and we know it and we're not looking forward to not having you at our meeting. That's true. All right. We want to say something. We I just meant me. I'm sure that all of us. Um Adrian, you were just so quiet. I just was like I like this guy. And I know we've been on other committees before, but getting to know you, you're such a nerd and I love it. You're so good. You're so good with data and just catching all the little things. I mean, the fact that you just knew that policy, you're like, "Okay, it's policy 131.7.2. I don't know what you just said, but you knew it." That historical knowledge, I mean, that you're taking with you. It's really not fair, but I forgive you and I
116know you're going to have a great time. But it's been a joy to get to know you and um I really like you and and it's I don't know. I will miss you a lot. And David, I've always known you and your little family and it's been so fun being on the board with you. Oh my gosh, we have such a great team. He said it's breaking up, but I totally understand and I'll miss you terribly. We're gonna need to have somebody to sit on you in the board meeting. Yes. Like hit me. Just for me, thank you both. I mean, I was um got elected and then I was like, now what? And then uh David, I had a meeting with David. I think he was the chair and kind of walked me through
117some things. And I've called Adrian a couple times just to kind of help me out and work through some things. And um just thank you. And I know I know how to find David. I'm not I'm not sure about Adrian as much, but put that out there. The same number. Okay. Yes, we'll have the same number. Well, you answer that. But thank you. You know, um you guys definitely made it comfortable when you're coming on and you're new. And for me, somebody who's never sat on a board but had a passion um for this work, thank you for making me feel comfortable and and fit right in here. So, thank you. Yeah. Anybody? I'm man of short words, so I'll keep rolling. I appreciate you having the body. Thank you. the sacrifices of the family
118and time and commitments and on policy committee facilities, all the different hiring processes, you've been there and you got to have shown up and helped make it happen. So, thank you very much. I I I contend that the reason this board has really done well is because the two of you were here and have helped guide the rest of us. Absolutely. and we hopefully we can continue that same thing going because I I really ran because I wanted to make sure we kept the school district board that worked well together and I commend you for all the stuff you've done in the length of time you've done it. I also appreciate your family. So, we were at the tea the other day that this foundation puts on and here's uh Adrian's son playing the piano
119for the third or fourth time in a row. So, I mean it it takes a whole family as we know in these things and and the only reason that people can be on these boards is because the rest of their family lets them do it and and supports them in doing that. So, I want to just make sure that we recognize your families as well as you each other for all you've done. So, thank you. Yes. Yeah. Two two um thank yous. on person a a personal thank you to both of you. My first year back first year as a superintendent you two have been and the entire board you guys have done amazing job but your was mentioned your historical knowledge your experience uh you guys can reference back to things and when they
120happen I've talked to both of you individually about navigating a couple things and just that history and experience is invaluable for a superintendent. I think the other thing that is really valuable for me, but I the second thank you is more community at large. I'm always looking for people who believe in kids and do they really believe in kids and are they mission focused and and you two are mission focused. You're not here. It's not political. It's not there's not an agenda. You are here because you want what's best for our community and our kids. And I can see that in all the decisions that you make and I appreciate how you both of you are similar in that um you are able to see things from multiple perspectives and I really appreciate that you're
121able to look at things and go okay I I think this way but there's there's another angle and there's another perspective. If I was to differentiate you guys, David David has a little more of a sarcastic streak that I appreciate. And sarcastic, but no, just just really appreciate both you guys. You're you're you're going to be missed. My wife has another word for it. You guys will be missed. Yes, very much so. I wanted on the record that I did propose cupcakes. I was going to bring some. Somebody else said that they had him, but he had too much to do. It's I'm not naming names. Hey, I I want on the record that they the next negotiations they could be our community representatives. Good job. I think that works perfectly. Give away the farm.
122That's right. Okay, we still have meetings. So, I am going to move this along. Board member highlights. Arie, I'll say just two uh three things actually. One, it was really great the uh foundation community schools foundation P. It was really a great opportunity for a lot of people and it's great seeing everybody there. The other one was that Eddie and I went to the appreciation teacher appreciation uh gathering after school last week. It was another good example of our people getting together and it it was fun to hear them like all the kind kindergarten people from besides being nominated as a group. There is real teamwork and I really it was nice that that's being recognized. Um and then the last one I appreciate uh being the board representative to the scholarship committee. Um it's
123over $7 million that's been endowed in our scholarships and $470,000 to give away to our kids that graduate. It's a great way for a community to say congratulations, keep going. We as a community are willing to support you and it's pretty exciting including so that's been a great opportunity for me. Uh yeah, so for me this last weekend we had a a soccer term about Marshfield which is pretty darn cool for the little kids to go up there and play on the turf and and but one of the the downsides about it is at the end we got to clean everything up. And and so I was cleaning, get the backpack floors, blow it down, clean it, pick up, go and go. One of these little kids came up to me. He's like, "I feel
124sorry for you." And I was like, "Why?" He's like, "Cuz you're the guy that picks up the trash." And I was like, "No." I I I let him know, "No, this is it's an honor because we got to use this place, clean it up, and and I don't have to. I want to do it." And it was pretty neat to to do that even if it was in the late hours. Did he offer to help at that point? We did recruit a lot of them. Yeah. Diane, I don't have any like highlights, but I do want to say thank you. There's a lovely lady, and I wish I had her name, in the Marshfield main office. Her desk sits back into the left. I've come in several times with several other um Marshfield fans, you
125could call us, and every time she opens the Marshfield store so we can buy and and it hasn't been open because I believe there's a a gap there in um staff, but every single time she doesn't complain. She just goes and opens. She lets us shop and we buy our stuff and and so I just wanted to say thank you to her because I've probably come in three or four times with a few people but just wanted to say thank you to breed too. Does that make you want to breathe highlight? Her name is Lynn Scott. Lynn Scott. Yes, Lynn. She's wonderful. She's been so and I know she's busy. I know she's busy. She's really good. She's she's been great. So, I just wanted to say thank you to her for for doing that
126for me so many times. Um, I would just like to echo the the tea was lovely. I I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted there, but I did get to see the kindergarten sing. I actually thought your son was you. I looks just like a mini me of Adrien. I almost wanted Adrien, look at you playing, but that would have been awkward. Yeah. But they were great. and my grandson was in the the east side uh kindergarten class that was playing up or singing up there and we got some great pictures of him picking his nose just at the right point. Yeah. Oh, fun. And then um Yeah. And then I just went to the facilities committee meeting which was really educational and we I think we're very productive which I
127really love productive meetings in this field. Yeah. I know. David, anything? Um, you know, I've been going to the sunset assigned there and this is the second time through. It's been really I think educational the second time I just see some of the challenges, some of the successes they've had. We talk about behaviors and I I didn't remember before how much problem there were over there. I mean, I'm not saying it's solved by any means, but it has certainly gotten better in a lot of areas. I mean, it is kind of interesting how some classes are just tougher than other. I mean, and and it cycles through. So, there's fifth graders and there's sixth graders. Um, but I think it really I I think it's really been, you know, some there some good things have
128happened in that in that area. Um, although again, as we reflected, the the academic challenges still remain too. I think, you know, it's a little bit like whack-a-ole. Yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to that. I think it uh Yeah, that was a really good one. I'm happy with that. So, Adrian, um I I've got a long list, but I realized that wasn't the last board meeting. Um I did get a chance to go to a boys volleyball match, which was interesting. I had to quit playing myself a couple years ago and you know it it just brings back a lot of those a lot of those memories and sat with a couple staff members and have some nice chats with them. Um obviously I helped Addy out with the spoon rest painting and she was
129kind enough to to share some pictures with me some of the final results which was amazing. Um I also embarrassed myself with the spring tea. As soon as it was over, I immediately went over and congratulated Cara Davidson's twin sister. I I so bad and she realized so then I went and found Karen. I'm sure her sister was walking around like that's so funny. So, um I also have been doing some volunteer work with the steam pathways group at Squawk. Um helping them set up their mobile planetarium and and do some other things there. Uh and one of the first places I was able to help out was the science night at sunset. So, helping just getting people in and out. It's a little bit of a process so the thing doesn't quite people are
130going. Um, and then I would like to thank um, Miloma and Principal Roberts uh, for loaning me the use of some of their robot kits and parts um, so that I could help out with some of the afterchool programs at Confederated Tribes for their STEM program. So, perfect. Okay. and I made a hundreds boom rests with all the with all the kindergarteners at at Madison. Um, it was quite as as Adrian will tell you, they gave it us an hour from 1:30 to 2:30 and I I had one class every day for four days. And I would walk in and I'd get there a little early so I could put newspaper and stuff on the tables and try and keep the room a little clean for these teachers. And the kids would sit down and
131within 20 minutes they were done. Yep. They had painted and they had painted again and more paint and they were ready to move on to the next the next um activity. So I was very lucky Adrien took a group and read on, you know, went and read on the the uh rug. I kept telling kids, "Oh, just go get a book and go read on the rug." And the teachers would all look at me like, "Thank you." But um so I delivered them all up last week. So hopefully they gave them out. Well, that's above and beyond. And yeah, it was really fun. It was really fun. None of them exploded in the kill. Pardon me. You didn't lose any in the kill? No, I made a hundred of them. I got 98 out. One
132of them was cracked. So I had 97 to work with. I used the broken one as my test piece so I can show the glasses where the paint. But um no, we didn't lose any in the kiln. I brought them all back to class and put the clear glaze on them and and everyone in the class is like, "Oh my god, I hope this clear glaze comes out right because sometimes it doesn't," you know, and then it would have ruined them all. So, they got returned to the students, but they were perfect. So, and have you seen any pictures of the students with them? No, I haven't gotten any feedback yet, which I think's a little problematic. We'll work on that. If I had been anyone else, I might be a little offended. And thanks
133to Clark for doing all the dumb work on me. Oh, yeah. And a big thank you to my teacher also who because you know I mean we all are supposed to get two big things of clay to work with during the year and this took all my clay and she still let me do other projects and she helped make painting and she helped me making them and and then she came in on the weekend and did the firing for them. So I really appreciate her. A lot of teamwork. Thank you though. Yeah, it was really fun. I'm trying to decide if I should pick East Side next year and go do it with their freshman, but I mean with their kindergarteners, but we'll see. Okay, I think that is the end of our regular meeting
134and we are going to go into our second executive session of the evening. But we're doing good on time. Thank you guys. Can we take a foot Yes. And so I know I've seen some of you guys volunteering in the schools and so I wanted to open it up with anybody likes beading or working with leather by making 32 of them and they are triple strands with Italian and abalone. Um, each one is a different design and customized that way each child has their own unique necklace and so it doesn't look like it's just mass- prodduced. And then the neck is wrapped with leather. So if anybody does have some free time and wants to come and hear more about my program or what we're doing with our native students, uh, come like contact me
135and I would love to show you guys a new skill, also talk to you guys a little bit about culture if you're interested and kind of what coding is like. So, if you're interested, please reach out. What What When When do you need the volunteers? Whenever you guys are free, I can set you up. Um, it just kind of depends on the day and then like that day. All right. And it's something we could take home and do. No, no, we would do what they doing. The kids are doing that. No, we're doing it for the house. you might a lot of my underassman putting work in processing the dentalium. It's a shell um that's similar to frenzy um and it's from a mollisk and so I am processing dentalium. The tribe is donating pine
136nut beads. Um, I have abalone and then I've also done research on some of the kids individual tribes to see maybe what colors are more prevalent, but also kind of keeping it with the theme of marshal destinations. Um, and so using maybe some more natural resources, but then combining things from the local area since they are graduating from Cous Bay. So there's a lot of different stuff into it and then using SU as the stream. So this is any kid, any student that has identified themselves as native any product. Correct. Anybody can be part of our top program. Okay, that's cool. I um that's we have 32 this year and I can help. Yeah, I'll help you. I'll help you guys. I'll be there. Thank you. Okay. Pursuant to OS 1926.660D, we're entering into executive
137session to conduct deliberation with persons designated by the governing body to carry on labor negotiations. sec. Okay. Okay. We're out of executive session. We have no other business. This meeting again. Thank you.
